A
As
we
begin
I'll
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
committee,
members
and
city
staff
is
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
13.021
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency
and
at
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
so
that
we
can
verify.
We
have
a
quorum.

A
Mr
dollar,
taylor,
maybe
my
audio
wasn't
working
there
for
a
second,
I
I
only
heard
two
two
or
three.
A
I
guess
it's
possible
just
we'll
just
take
that,
as
my
audio
was
a
little
busted
there
for
a
second,
but
so
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
before
we
proceed
with
our
agenda
before
us.
Fire
chief
brian
tyner
has
challenged
council
members
and
really
the
whole
city
to
open
each
public
meeting
with
his
story
tied
to
black
history
month.
In
that
spirit,
it
was
in
1995
that
bernard
harris
became
the
first
african
american
to
walk
in
space
after
being
the
first
black
astronaut
to
go
into
spaces.
A
One
of
nasa's
research
teams,
harris
graduated
from
sam
houston,
high
school
in
san
antonio
in
1974,
and
went
on
to
receive
a
bachelor's
degree
in
biology
and
his
medical
degree
from
texas
tech
university
health
sciences
center.
In
1982..
He
completed
his
residency
in
internal
medicine
at
the
mayo
clinic
in
1985,
giving
him
a
local.

Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Sorry
just
get
my
camera
on
here.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
really
appreciate
the
director's
work.
I
know
she
stepped
in
to
the
role
pretty
suddenly
and
it
just
really
appreciated
the
results.
Out
of
that
and
look
forward
to.
I
know
we
have
an
upcoming
meeting
to
discuss
further
her
appointment,
but
just
really
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
pleased
with
the
nomination
and
happy
to
support
this
today.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
any
further
comments
before
we
recall
the
role.
A
Well,
I'll
just
note
that
I'm
really
honored
to
nominate
andrea
brennan
to
serve
this
department,
moving
forward,
she's
coming
up
on
her
six-year
anniversary
right
now:
she's,
smart
she's,
direct
she's,
a
leader,
she's,
a
convener
and
a
collaborator,
but
perhaps
most
important.
She
really
values
the
people
that
serve
in
our
community
and
in
our
city,
and
I
thank
you
so
much
director

serving.
We
greatly
appreciate
your
your
willingness
to
step
forward
without
seeing
further
comment.

this
point,

I
council
vice
president

you,

You
know
I
just
wanted

just
really
thank
interim
director

all
of
the
really
heavy
lifting
that

has
done
to
lead
the
department
in
the
last
I
don't
know
eight
months
or
so,
and
and
the
housing

really
exemplary,
