C
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name
is
andrea
jenkins
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
meeting
for
wednesday
december
8th
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record.
This
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
is
authorized
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
C
F
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee.
I
am
gina
powell
manager
of
administrative
services
in
the
clerk's
office
here
to
present
this
amendment
of
ordinance
related
to
campaign
finance
this
year.
In
its
final
omnibus
election
bill,
the
state
legislator
included
or
passed
a
bill
that,
from
january
1,
2022
hennepin
county
will
not
support
campaign
finance
function.
G
Beginning
january
2022,
the
county
will
only
be
responsible
for
the
county
level
campaign
finance
issues.
Local
jurisdiction
will
be
required
to
handle
those
functions
for
local
campaigns
for
minneapolis.
That
means
we
would
assume
a
response.
We
would
undertake
responsibility
for
the
campaign
finance
function
associated
with
the
mayor
city,
council,
part
and
recreational
boards
of
commissions,
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
and
under
contract
the
special
school
district
number
one
for
minneapolis
and
the
their
because
of
this
passing
of
the
bill.
G
C
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
the
council.
This
was
a
change
that
was
initiated
at
the
state
legislative
level.
There
were
only
a
handful
of
cities
in
the
state
that
weren't
handling
campaign
finance
for
the
local
level
elections.
Minneapolis
was
one
of
those
cities.
Hennepin
county
had
been
performing
those
duties
for
us.
E
I'm
very
grateful
for
and
want
to
give
credit
to
the
work
of
a
team
in
the
elections
office
who,
in
the
middle
of
this
municipal
election
and
the
recount
and
then
the
follow-up
certification,
also
did
all
of
the
work
to
prepare
us
for
moving
to
the
place
where
we
can
take
on
those
responsibilities.
Starting
january
1st
in
particular,
I
want
to
recognize
charles
peel
and
jeff
narrowbrook
in
our
elections
office,
along
with
gina
powell,
who
have
shepherded.
E
This
proposal
forward
have
worked
with
our
internal
partners
in
I.t
or
information
technology
and
finance
and
property
services
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
systems
and
the
funding
and
the
tools
that
we
need
to
be
effective,
starting
on
the
very
first
day
so
appreciate
the
council
for
taking
action
to
bring
forward
these
amendments
to
amend
the
code
to
allow
us
to
comply
with
the
state
legislature's
change,
which
transfers
campaign
finance
back
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Thank
you.
C

I
E
Madam,
madam
vice
president,
this
is
casey.
I
apologize
in
advance.
This
is
a
walk-on
item
that
was
submitted
too
late
to
be
printed
on
the
agenda,
and
so,
as
the
consent
agent
is
disposed
of,
I
would
ask
your
indulgence
to
to
address
an
issue
that
relates
to
the
council's
calendar
in
2022,
as
councilmember
johnson
has
alluded,
so
I
will
hold
myself
back
until
the
consent
agenda
has
been
disposed
of
so.
C
F
Thanks,
madam
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
inform
my
colleagues
number
five
is
declaring
climate
emergency
and,
if
you're
worried,
we
already
did
this
a
couple
years
ago.
There
just
is
a
lot
of
movement
from
other
cities
around
in
minnesota,
and
this
would
really
build
on
their
efforts
and
really
show
what
we're
hoping
to
do
in
this
moment
of
emergency.
F
A
J
Hi
this
is
jocelyn
brummer.
I
am
an
assistant
city
attorney.
I
am
not
here
to
speak
on
this
issue,
but
I
don't
see
that
the
city
attorney
or
the
deputy
city
attorney
are
here.
I
can't
speak
to
this
provision,
but
I
can
take
that
question
back
to
the
the
city
attorney
and
get
a
better
answer
for
you
on
that.
A
I'm
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
I'll.
Just
note
too
that,
as
I
said,
the
there's
a
kind
of
high
level
summary
in
the
agenda,
if
you
click
through
the
agenda
to
some
of
the
supporting
documents,
it
talks
about
the
police,
federation's
collective
bargaining
agreement,
it
provides
that
the
city
establish
a
conflicts
panel
for
the
defense
of
police
officers
and
civil
actions.
That
panel
is
negotiated
separately
by
the
federation.
A
Consequently,
the
city
needs
to
waive
its
procurement
process
for
the
conflicts
panel,
for
the
defense
of
police
officers
and
civil
action,
so
through
through
our
action
today
we
are,
it
sounds
bound.
It
sounds
like
we
are
bound
by
that
provision
in
the
police
federation
contract.
Of
course,
that
is,
is
and
has
been
up
for
negotiation.
A
Perhaps
the
next
council
will
see
a
version
of
an
agreement
on
the
police
federation
contract
may
just
be
something
to
track
or
note,
as
that
contract
makes
its
way
through
the
process,
thanks
council
vice
president,
and
thanks
for
chiming.
In
certainly
didn't
mean
to
put
anyone
on
the
spot,
but
I
felt
it
was
worth
noting
just
again
because
of
the
way
it
showed
up
on
the
agenda.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
detail
was
provided.
Thank
you.
C
A
I
don't
think
that's
necessary.
It
seems
from
the
detailed
description
that
the
the
you
know,
the
federation
contract,
which
is
the
standing
agreement,
really
requires
this
action,
so
it
could
certainly
be
corrected
at
council,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
me
that
it
would
be
up
for
debate
or
anything.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
detail
was.
C
C
K
A
No
thank
you,
mr
routa.
I
was
able
to
just
read
the
notes
that
were
in
the
rca,
which
I
think
covered
it.
I
just
you
know
the
way
it
was
listed
in
the
agenda
it
did.
It
did
describe
that
the
council
would
be
waiving
procurement.
You
know
the
process
because
of
the
provision
in
the
federation
contract.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
we
made
that
clear.
Thank
you.
H
H
D
C
L
There
are
different
levels
of
mitigation
just
as
there
continue
to
be
different
levels
of
mitigation
today,
but
as
that
program
and
those
obligations
came
to
an
end,
there
were
continuing
concerns
at
the
time
about,
as
we
were
looking
forward
and
planning
for
the
future
of
the
airport.
There
were
different
kinds
of
concerns
around
the
planning
process
and
about
future
noise,
and
so
the
parties
decided
in
2013
to
continue
to
have
an
agreement
in
place.
L
There
was
a
second
amendment
to
the
consent
decree
also
in
2016,
but
those
those
changes
were
a
little
bit
more
technical
and
minor
in
nature.
But
now
we
are
talking
about
a
third
amendment
to
the
consent
decree
once
again.
The
obligations
that
the
parties
agreed
to
on
in
the
in
the
first
amendment
were
are
coming
to
an
end
in
terms
of
the
duration
of
the
agreement,
so
but
the
parties
all
found
value
in
wanting
to
continue
to
have
some
kind
of
agreement
in
place.
L
And
what
the
crux
of
it
will
be
to
continue
a
lot
of
what
we
have
in
place
today
in
terms
of
the
mitigation
program,
is
going
to
stay
the
same
in
terms
of
three
consecutive
years
of
noise.
Now
I
want
to
be
kind
of
clear
here
and
also
help
manage
any
expectations
of
the
public
that
you
know.
We
don't
know
at
this
point.
L
If
there's
going
to
be
additional
mitigation
as
a
result
of
extending
this
decree,
it
will
depend
on
if
there's
additional
changes
in
airport
operations
or
noise,
but
we
do
see
value
in
having
this
in
place.
If
there
is
additional
noise,
there
are
some
additional
benefits,
also
that
I
think
joslin
will
touch
on
and
that
I'm
going
to
touch
on
of
continuing
to
have
an
agreement
in
place.
L
L
Nationally,
stick
noise
at
65,
db
or
decibel
dnl
is
considered
significant
and
therefore
allows
federal
funding
and
airport
generated
revenues
to
provide
mitigation
to
homes,
but
around
msp.
We
can
provide
mitigation
again
at
different
kinds
of
packages
to
noise
that
exceeds
anywhere
from
60
db,
dnl
and
and
up
and
noise
is
measured
on
a
logarithmic
scale,
which
means
that
there
is
a
very
big
difference
between
60
and
65.
L
So
because
we
have
this
contiguous
legal
agreement
in
place,
it
allows
us
to
kind
of
continue
to
lock
in
that
different
standard
when
it
comes
to
interior
noise.
Also,
normally
you
would
be
required
to
have
a
measure
of
the
interior
noise
exposure
before
being
eligible
for
mitigation,
but
we
also
do
not
need
to
do
that
again,
because
we
kind
of
have
our
own
thing
locked
in
into
this
agreement.
L
So
in
conclusion,
I
just
want
to
note
that,
even
though
you
know
we
don't
know
if
the
mitigation
will
be
produced,
you
know
we
see
various
benefits
to
continue
to
have
this
agreement
in
place,
and
we
want
residents
to
know
that
this
does
not
in
any
way
prevent
us
from
continuing
to
do.
The
work
that
we're
doing
with
the
metropolitan
airports,
commission,
with
the
faa
with
our
national
organizations,
to
try
to
reduce
noise
impacts
and
mitigate
those
impacts.
J
J
This
noise
mitigation
program
that
will
be
offered
under
the
third
amendment
will
commence
upon
the
approval
of
the
district
court
and
the
federal
aviation
administration
and
that
approval
will
be
sought
after
the
third
amendment
is
signed
off
on
by
all
parties.
The
program
will
end
on
december
31st
2032..
J
J
This
was
an
important
provision
to
minneapolis
and
we
believe
that
we've
strengthened
our
position
in
this
regard.
As
ms
olsen
noted,
the
three-year
eligibility
provision
provided
in
the
first
amendment
remains
in
place.
However,
a
new
provision
has
been
inserted
into
the
third
amendment
that
tolls
eligibility
for
noise
mitigation
for
up
to
two
years,
if
operations
drop
by
at
least
30
percent
at
msp.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
want
to
echo
councilmember
johnson's
comments
and
appreciate
the
work
of
our
city
staff,
jocelyn
bremmer,
who
is
fairly
new
to
this
topic,
but
certainly
took
in
all
the
institutional
memory
that
we
had
here
in
our
city
to
offer
and
then
continued
on
with
it
in
a
smooth
transition,
but
also,
and
especially,
lauren
olson,
I'm
not
kidding
when
I
tell
you
that
they
have
both
led
all
of
the
cities
involved.
Here's
legal
teams
on
a
thorough
exploration
of
this
revision
to
the
contract.
B
B
A
couple
things
about
our
state
legislative
relationships
here.
Many
people
know
that
the
airport
is
a
commission
of
the
state
which
is
different
than
other
big
airports
around
our
country.
We've
all
worked
to
connect,
and
I
want
to
thank
igr
here
with
several
legislators
whose
constituents
are
affected
by
noise
and
inform
them
of
the
action
that
we're
considering
today
they
are
key
partners
in
this
work,
they're
important
to
how
we
work
to
address
noise
and
environmental
impacts
of
the
airport.
B
I
was
just
in
brief
communication
with
senator
dibble
shortly
before
this
call,
and
I
think
that
representative
hornstein
might
actually
be
watching
right
now,
but
if
not,
I
know
I'll
be
hearing
from
them
shortly
after
this
meeting
on
this
topic,
here's
what
this
means
to
the
public.
I
want
to
just
convey
a
couple
of
things
and
reiterate
for
something
that
ms
olsen
asserted
a
few
minutes
ago.
B
Here
we
really
want
to
recognize
the
airport
as
a
valuable
regional
asset,
and
part
of
this
effort
was
also
about
mac,
the
metropolitan
airports,
commission
being
a
continued
partner
in
our
in
our
work
together.
So
there's
so
many
parties
here,
it's
important
to
recognize
and
value
them
all.
I
really
appreciate
this
output.
I
think
we're
in
a
good
place
because
of
it.
So
thank
you
to
the
team
and
thank
you
to
our
partners,
our
other
city
partners,
our
public
housing
authority
partners
and
also
to
the
mac.
C
H
D
C
E
There
are
a
few
end-of-year
business
items
that
need
to
be
addressed
immediately
after
the
start
of
the
next
elective
term,
and
so
we
need
as
an
enterprise,
to
get
those
meetings
set
in
advance
for
convenience.
I
have
simply
proposed
a
continuation
of
the
council's
current
committee
structure.
Those
meetings,
then,
would
continue
on
the
regular
dates
and
times
that
have
been
assigned
to
them
for
this
past
year.
It
means
that
the
structure
would
include
five
standing
committees
that
would
meet
according
to
the
dates
that
have
been
assigned.
E
Of
course,
there
is
still
the
standing
budget
committee,
which
has
a
very
specialized
function
with
respect
to
budget
actions
recommended
by
the
mayor.
There
are
the
independent
audit
committee
that
is
in
place
as
well
the
executive
committee
having
been
eliminated,
so
this
proposed
calendar
then
also
retains
the
designated
ward
work
weeks
that
have
been
recognized
by
the
council
for
many
years,
which
allows
time
for
council
members
to
focus
on
constituent
service
issues,
work
in
the
ward
and
other
representational
functions
that
council
members
hold.
E
Configuration,
madam
president,
as
currently
configured
elections,
is
a
subject
matter
that
falls
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
and
so
with
no
other
changes.
Those
types
of
issues
that
relate
to
elections,
elections,
administration
and
the
conduct
of
elections
and
related
subject
matter
would
be
continued
under
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee's
jurisdiction.
I
E
E
E
So
I
think
that
not
only
for
the
clerk's
office,
but
certainly
for
departments
that
work
with
us
and
through
the
clerk's
office
to
get
those
official
acts
finalized
and
in
the
final
form,
as
approved
by
council,
so
that
they
can
be
submitted
to
the
mayor
before
we
close
shop
for
the
weekend
would
be
appreciated.
It
gives
us
a
little
bit
more
time
and
certainly
time
to
recover
on
friday
if
council
meetings
were
not
on
friday
before
we
begin
the
next
cycle
the
following
week.
E
E
Through
the
chair,
I
would
say,
that's
not
a
difficult
change
for
us
to
make.
I
will
note
that
in
in
conformance
with
long-standing
practice,
we
would
need
to
move
the
regular
meetings
for
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
and
the
committee
of
the
whole
also,
so
the
entire
second
week's
schedule
would
move
one
day
earlier,
so
pogo
would
be
on
monday
committee.
The
hold
be
on
tuesday,
wednesday
would
be
an
open
day
and
thursday
would
be
council.
I
Given
everything,
especially
our
staff,
taking
on
over
the
last
18
months
and
the
impacts
and
then
challenges
around
the
workforce,
I
think
this
is
a
reasonable
change
in
order
to
reflect
a
better
balance
and
a
better
workflow
for
this
work,
and
I
can
at
least
speak
for
myself.
I
don't
think
from
a
council
standpoint
that
that's
is
significantly
impactful
and
actually
might
be
appreciated
by
council
members
to
have
friday
to
be
able
to
wrap
up
ward
business
before
the
weekend.
I
I
know
that
sometimes
it
can
get
pretty
hectic
on
fridays,
especially
with
the
longer
meetings
and
then
the
one
other
change
that
I
am
interested
in
seeing
on
this
agenda
is
really
as
a
result
of
my
perspective
as
intergovernmental
relations
chair.
One
of
the
key
ways
that
we
can
all
engage
as
council
members
is
through
the
national
league
of
cities.
We
used
to
have
that
as
award
week
so
that
all
council
members
would
be
able
to
attend.
I
I
I
think
I
missed
three
or
four
meetings
with
the
council
just
to
make
it
work,
including
one
of
them
that
I
think,
was
a
committee
that
I
chaired,
and
so
this
is
a
really
critical
issue,
as
you
can
see
with,
for
instance,
the
arpa
funding
and
a
lot
of
the
different
legislation
that's
moving
through.
I
think
it's
important,
especially
with
the
majority
of
new
council
members
coming
in,
that
they
have
an
opportunity
to
get
out
and
establish
those
relationships
with
our
federal
partners,
not
just
federal
legislators,
but
also
the
federal
administration.
I
The
committee
staff,
the
different
agencies,
it's
really
a
high
return
on
investment,
in
my
opinion,
for
the
city
to
be
engaged
in
that
work.
Looking
at
the
calendar,
it
looks
like
what
that
would
mean
then
and
looking
at
when
we
have
national
league
of
cities.
It
would
be
on
that
week
with
march
14th
through
16th
are
actually
the
dates
for
national
league
of
cities.
So
I
would
suggest
we
take
a
ward
week
during
that
week
and
that
we're
just
able
to
shift
as
a
result
of
that.
C
E
Madam
president,
I
believe
your
question
is
what
is
the
advantage
to
staff
or
the
benefit
to
staff
of
moving
the
regular
meetings
of
the
full
council
to
thursday
in
the
second
week
of
the
cycle
from
friday,
beyond
the
tradition
of
having
council
meetings
on
friday,
the
move
to
thursday
would
give
the
clerk's
office
time
to
finish
producing
print.
You
know,
proofing,
vetting
and
printing
every
act
that
the
council
takes
at
its
meeting
and
getting
all
of
those
documents
over
to
the
mayor's
office
before
the
end
of
the
day.
E
It
would
then
give
us
friday
in
case
there
are
any
errors
to
correct
and
make
that
effort
so
that
we're
not
working
under
the
gun
in
terms
of
getting
everything
done
after
the
council
meeting
is
concluded
because
the
clerk's
office
has
to
complete
all
of
that
work,
get
it
to
the
mayor's
office
in
order
to
start
the
five-day
clock
that
is
provided
under
the
city
charter
for
the
mayor's
consideration.
So
by
moving
council
meetings
to
thursday,
it
gives
us
the
rest
of
thursday.
E
It
gives
us
all
day
friday
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
of
the
records
correct,
accurate
and
ready
to
go
to
start
that
statute.
That
charter
clock
of
the
five-day
provision
for
the
mayor
to
give
consideration
of
those
things
also
working
with
departments,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
everything
accurate.
E
There
are
occasionally
times
when
actions
taken
by
the
council
are
not
completely
accurate,
and
so
we
have
to
make
adjustments
to
correct
clerical
errors
in
the
act
and
there's
a
back
and
forth
on
on
the
on
the
back
end
of
that
between
the
clerk's
office
and
the
mayor's
office
to
account
for
any
tiny
clerical
errors.
That
might
remain
so.
Having
that
additional
time
eases
up
that
burden
on
the
clerk's
office,
and
certainly
on
departments
that
are
submitting
those
official
acts.
E
C
E
M
As
an
institutionalist
and
a
long
time
member,
I'm
not
big
on
change,
but
I
think
this
is
a
good
change
as
it
pertains
to
what
has
to
happen
in
the
clerk's
office
and
also
to
get
the
signature
of
the
mayor
on
fridays.
I
don't
object
to
it
if
there
are
others
that
object
to
it.
I
understand
that
we
should
talk
that
out,
but
it
seems
to
me
to
be
a
good
change.
I
also
want
to
bring
up
a
bit
of
history
about
league
of
cities.
M
League
of
cities
was
the
ward
work
week
in
march,
and
it
was
like
that
for
a
long
time
until
someone
felt
that
the
minneapolis
public
schools
spring
break
was
more
important
and
so
league
of
cities
was
changed
to
be
the
week
of
that.
Wasn't
a
work
week,
but
spring
break
was
so.
I
guess
what
I
would
say
about
this.
Is
we
don't
need
eight
work
weeks?
We
are
a
body,
that's
operating
a
1.6
billion
dollar
budget.
M
I
would
propose
that
we
swap
out
the
april
work
week
for
march
and
put
it
back
to
league
of
cities.
People
are
entitled
to
take
a
vacation,
it
can
be
during
minneapolis
spring
break
and
you
can
take
a
week
off
if
you
choose
to
do
that.
I
do
think
that
league
of
cities
as
an
organization
and
a
priority
for
the
city,
although
I
have
not
served,
is
important
and
it
always
had
been,
and
it
had
only
been
changed
as
a
result
of
some
sort
of
spring
break
issue
earlier
on.
M
But
what
I
have
concerns
about
is
throwing
in
another
work
week
of
no
committees,
because
from
where
I
sit
as
it
pertains
to
quasi-judicial
public
hearings
as
well
as
licensing
hearings.
It's
just
another
week
where
everyone
has
to
wait,
and
I
don't
think
it's
good
for
small
businesses
in
our
community
to
have
to
wait
longer
around
our
process.
M
And
so
I
would
just
suggest
to
council
member
johnson
that
we
switch
those
out
so
that
the
march
week
becomes
the
ward
week
and
then
I
would
also
note
that
I
love
being
the
jewish
person
on
the
city
council,
council,
member
fletcher,
and
I
thought
I
thought
I
had
reviewed
the
second
day
of
rosh
hashanah.
But
it
does
not
look
like
that.
M
Is
noted
on
this
calendar
so
as
just
a
kind
reminder
to
casey
that
I
might
have
gotten
that
wrong
and
I'm
sorry
and
I
realize
there's
going
to
be
some
re-drafting
if
we
adopt
these
changes.
So
perhaps
you
could
just
take
a
look.
I
might
have
gotten
it
wrong
and
I
apologize
I'm
looking
at
it
now
and
it
looks
to
me
as
though
and
council
member
fletcher
could
chime
in
the
26th
and
27th
are
noted
as
two
days
with
no
meetings.
M
E
Correct,
madam
vice
president,
this
would
move
the
entire
second
week
of
the
regular
cycle
one
day
earlier,
so
that
the
regular
meetings
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
would
move
to
monday.
The
regular
meetings
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
would
move
to
tuesday
and
then
the
regular
meeting
of
the
full
council
would
move
to
thursday.
