We

The

B
I
C
Madam

we're
not
aware
if

have
the
correct
telephone
number

we
don't
see

a
microphone.
I
Well,
maybe
she

join
in
a
few
minutes
and
I
can
begin
reading
the
with
the
resolution
and
also,
hopefully
the
other

be
prepared
to
speak
to
rt,
elaine
and
kelly.
I
I
And
whereas
laura
had
the
honor
of
being
the
fourth
louis
w
hill
junior
fellow
at
the
humphrey
institute,
where
she
also
participated
in
the
north
south
fellows
program
and
whereas
laura
hosted
first-person
radio
on
fresh
air
radio
for
10
years
and
whereas
laura
was
very
active
in
the
minneapolis
political
and
the
minneapolis
and
minnesota
democratic
farmer.
Labor
party,
serving
as
a
delegate
to
many
conventions
over
the
years.
I
I
Thank
you
for
listening
to
that
and
laura
was
such
a
dear
friend
to
me,
and
a
mentor
and
a
constituent
and
mcgeezy
was
also
located
in
the
second
ward.
So
it's
really
special
that
we
can
take
the
time
to
do
this
and
I'm
not
sure
if,
if
marnie's
here
yet
or
rt,
but
I'd
like
to
open
it
up.
If
somebody
would
like
to
join
us
and
speak.
B
Council
member,
it
looks
like
we
have
two
guests,
at
least
on
the
line
for
this
resolution,
so
those
speakers
can
push
star
six
to
unmute
their
phones
and
we
welcome
rt
and
kelly
to
speak
to
this
resolution.
Welcome.
E
Great
well,
it
is
just
a
tremendous
honor
to
be
able
to
to
help
celebrate
the
life
of
one
of
the
great
community
elders,
lord
waterman
whitstock,
and
I
use
that
term
elder.
But
I
hesitate
to
because
it
usually
implies
age
and
I
think
laura
was
born
wise
and
she
certainly
was.
E
When
I
met
her
in
the
80s
by
then,
she
already
had
a
very
distinguished
career
as
a
writer
recognized
nationally
for
her
work
in
trying
to
create
a
positive
narrative
around
native
peoples
to
confront
some
of
the
extraordinarily
racist
narratives
that
were
out
there
at
the
time.
She
was
a
great
pioneer
on
that,
but
I
met
her
when
she
was
broadening
that
work.
She
asked
me
to
join
the
board
of
colors
magazine,
which
would
began
to
do
that.
E
E
When
I
became
mayor,
the
very
first
appointment
I
made
was
laura
to
the
library
board,
where
laura
did
extraordinary
work.
But
she
came
to
me
when
it
came
time
for
me
to
reappoint
her,
and
she
said
you
know
I
could
probably
get
elected
city-wide.
J
E
Merger,
laura
also
with
megazi,
had
done
tremendous
work
and
began
to
get
into
youth
programming
and
magazine
became
under
her
and
and
very
much
under
elaine
one
of
the
great
leaders
in
the
step-up
program
and
doing
really
remarkable
work
getting
young
people
involved
in
in
technology.
I
could
go
on,
but
I
just
think
in
finishing.
I
want
to
say
that
we
talk
a
lot
about
narrative
change
these
days
and
rightfully
and
rightfully
about
the
fact
that
we
should
have
been
much
more
aggressively
about
this
work
generations
ago.
Laura
never
needed
that
lecture.
E
Laura
was
the
one
who
showed
us
the
path
on
that,
and
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
and
I
really
wish
that
laura
hadn't
had
to
devote
her
entire
career
to
telling
the
truth
about
native
people.
But
she
made
tremendous
progress
and
I
think,
as
we
tell
the
stories,
the
true
stories
about
native
people
and
the
contributions
that.
E
B
G
Yes,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
time
today
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
laura's
impact
in
my
life.
I
first
met
laura
20
years
ago
at
megazi's
old
building
on
31st
and
lake
street,
and
I
remember
walking
into
the
room
and
meeting
her
for
the
first
time.
G
I
was
nervous
and
scared
to
be
in
the
room
with
leaders
in
the
community
that
I
had
looked
up
to
and
I
wasn't
prepared
to
be
in
the
presence
of
of
all
these
leaders
that
helped
to
change
the
world
for
us
and
that
day
she
asked
me
where
I
was
from
where
I
went
to
school
and
and
my
family,
and
I
saw
a
spark
in
her
eyes
and
her
her
infectious
beautiful
smile,
and
she
told
me
that
I
belonged
in
that
room
as
a
you
know,
mid
20
year
old,
young
woman
and
from
that
day
forward,
laura
mentored
me
loved
me
and
my
family,
and
she
was
with
us
through
our
challenges
and
our
celebrations.
G
She
celebrated
our
marriage,
the
birth
of
our
my
two
children,
our
graduations,
and
was
super
proud
of
my
attainment
of
my
master's
degree
in
philanthropy
and
development
in
2008,
and
really
mentored
me
to
get
through
that
program
and
work
full-time
and
have
a
family
of
five
at
that
time,
and
you
know
for
many
years,
we
met
every
week,
sometimes
twice
a
week,
so
that
she
could
help
me
navigate
through
the
challenges
and
victories
both
personally
and
professionally,
and
I
think,
what's
unique
about
laura.
Is
it
wasn't
just
about
your
job?
G
G
You
know,
and
I
was
able
to
sit
with
laura
a
few
days
before
she
began
her
journey
to
the
spirit
world
and
and
that
spark
in
her
eye.
From
the
first
day
we
met
was
bright
and
and
shining,
and
so
I
I
really
believe
I
am
who
I
am
today
because
of
laura,
and
I
will
miss
her
always
and
I'll
do
my
best
to
continue
to
honor
her
legacy
with
magazine.
G
B
Thank
you
so
much
thanks
for
being
here
this
morning,
we
have
marnie
on
the
line
as
well.
You'll
push
star
six
to
mute
your
line
and
welcome.
H
Okey
good
morning
to
everyone-
hopefully
you
all
can
hear
me
now
that
I
have
rebooted
laura
and
I
met
literally
six
days
when
I
moved
from
mini
from
new
york
city
to
minneapolis
and
had
been
she
was
such
a
guiding
star
that
it
was
pretty
amazing
that
she
was
with
me
for
so
long,
and
I
treasure
every
moment
when
I
became
president
of
magazine,
we
launched
a
great
many
initiatives,
one
of
which
was
the
native
academy.
H
H
H
Who
is
heron
clan?
A
turtle
rides
and
flies
through
the
universe
we
ride.
On
the
back
of
the
turtle,
the
under
gods
dwell
in
canadaigua
the
over
gods,
dwell
and
look
down
from
the
clouds,
even
if
we're
300
moons
away
from
when
this
mattered.
Most
of
our
lives
are
touched
by
one
holy
inspiration
nature.
H
The
next
one
is
the
native
hawaiian
creation.
Chant
laura
grew
up
in
hawaii,
and
I
did
many
things
here
in
the
twin
cities
with
her.
She
basically
introduced
me
to
a
lot
of
hawaiian
culture
and,
and
that
too,
was
a
bit
of
a
blessing.
H
I
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
and
I'm
so
glad
that
you
were
able
to
get
on
and
speak
and
share
those
memories.
I
do
remember
the
spark
in
laura's
eye
and
the
twinkle
that
she
would
get.
I
She
was
such
an
amazing,
connector
and
bridge
builder,
helping
connect,
cultures
and
all
the
differences
and
move
us
forward
as
a
city.
She
will
be
missed
and
I'm
so
privileged
and
honored
that
we
were
able
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
and
celebrate
her
life
and
all
that
she's
given
to
us
today.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
your
time.
B

news
that
their

and

to

been
bestowed
upon
them.
D
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
this
opportunity
to
share
this
resolution,
and
I
do
believe
that
chief
fire
chief
brian
tyner
would
like
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
black
employees
network.
L
Thank
you,
council
president
vendor.
Vice
president
jenkins
and
the
rest
of
the
council.
I
join
you
today,
virtually
with
the
co-chairs
of
the
minneapolis
black
employee
network
co-chair
for
team
reporter
and
co-chair
donald
brown
and
collectively.
We
would
like
to
thank
you
for
this
really
beautiful
resolution.
L
Every
february
we
celebrate
black
history
month
in
the
us.
The
occasion
presents
time
to
presents
us
a
time
to
celebrate
the
many
historical
accomplishments
of
black
americans
and
other
blacks
around
the
world.
It
also
presents
opportunities
for
us
to
reflect
and
to
learn
more
about
black
history.
L
A
quick
google
search
should
provide
you
with
all
the
information
you
need
and,
as
a
chief
I
don't
believe
in
asking
anyone
to
do
anything.
I
wouldn't
do
myself.
So
I
looked
up
a
few
examples
on
this
date
january
29th
in
black
history
in
1820,
harriet
tubman,
was
believed
to
have
been
born
in
dorchester
county
maryland.
L
She
also
shares
this
birthday
with
oprah
winfrey
harriet
tubman
is
best
known
for
leading
slaves
to
freedom
north
to
freedom
through
a
a
network
called
the
underground
railroad,
and
if
you
are
wondering
what
she
looks
like,
she
will
also
be
the
next
face.
You
see
on
the
20
bill
on
this
date
in
1837,
alexander
pushkin
died
in
a
duel.
Alexander
pushkin
to
this
date
is
still
considered
to
be
russia's
greatest
poet
in
the
spirit
of
learning.
L
L
Finally,
in
1926
violet
neatly,
anderson
became
the
first
african-american
woman
admitted
to
practice
by
the
u.s
supreme
court,
and
while
I
still
have
the
floor
because
you
know
giving
me
a
microphone
is
always
a
dangerous
thing,
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
and
congratulate
the
eight
members
of
the
minneapolis
fire
department,
as
well
as
the
many
others
across
the
enterprise
for
whom
today
represents
the
last
day
of
their
careers
here
serving
the
citizens
of
minneapolis.
B
D
Thank
you
once
again,
madam
president,
and
it
is
with
deep
sadness
and
humility
that
I
read
this
resolution.
Honoring
the
life
and
legacy
and
the
contributions
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
by
ms
amelia
brown.
D
Amelia
was
more
than
a
colleague
I
considered
amelia
a
friend
a
fellow
artist
and,
and
she
was
a
deep
friend
to
many
I'll,
just
jump
right
into
the
resolution,
because
it
it
really
speaks
to
her
extraordinary
life
and
extraordinary
contributions
once
again
to
the
city
and
and
to
the
broader
world,
honoring
the
life,
the
legacy
and
the
contributions
of
amelia
brown.
D
Our
cpa
department,
the
2020
census
complete
count
project
with
the
neighborhoods
and
community
relations
department,
artists
on
the
greenway,
with
public
works
and
the
south
side.
Green
zones
with
the
sustainability
division
and
whereas
amelia's
expertise
and
development
of
emergency
arts
also
helped
the
arts,
culture
and
creative
economy
division
to
establish
the
creative
wreaths.
D
Amelia
made
it
her
mission
to
provide
resources
to
transform
crises
through
creativity,
her
commitment
to
humanity
shined
in
this
important
work
under
the
most
dire
of
human
circumstances.
Amelia
didn't
just
do
this
for
work.
She
embodied
this
in
all
of
her
interactions
and
whereas,
as
repeatedly
expressed
by
her
family
and
loved
ones,
her
many
friends
and
colleagues
are
resounding
statements
of
how
much
her
brilliance
her
big
smile,
loving,
aura,
warm
hugs
and
compassion
for
others
was
unmatched,
amelia's
ability
to
make
everyone.
She
met,
walk
away,
feeling,
love
and
light.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
will
just
add
that
the
passing
of
amelia
brown
has
left
a
deep
hole
in
to
employees
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
to
the
arts
community
in
minneapolis
and
to
art,
artists
and
healers
all
over
the
world,
and
so
I
just
want
to
offer
my
deep
control
of
condolences
to
her
family
and
friends,
who,
I
know,
are
on
the
line
listening
and
we
will
be
sending
out
this
resolution
to
her
partner
and
to
other
family
members
after
this
meeting.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you,
council
vice
president,
and
in
addition
to
the
mark
that
she's
left
on
everyone
who
knew
her,
it
was
really
meaningful
to
hear
how
much
her
work
has
touched.
Our
city
and
the
way
that
we'll
see
the
evidence
of
that
compassion
and
brilliance
in
our
community
for
many
years
to
come.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
I'll
add
my
condolences
to
the
staff
and
her
friends
and
family
that
are
mourning
amelia.
B
C
She
has
been
a
fixture
in
the
clerk's
office
where
she's
been
a
part
of
our
legislative
support
team
and
during
her
career.
She
has
now
worked
with
59
council
members,
five
mayors
and
five
different
city
clerks
during
that
three
plus
decades
in
the
clerk's
office.
She
clerked
for
almost
every
single
committee
and
every
permutation
of
committees
that
the
council
had
established
the
only
committee
I
know
of
that
she
managed
to
avoid,
was
ways
and
means
so
she's,
probably
smart.
On
her
part.
C
In
fact,
irene
was
such
an
integral
part
of
that
team
that
when
I
first
started
talking
about
rotating
clerks
several
years
ago,
councilmember
goodman
said
to
me
that
she
didn't
care
how
the
other
clerks
were
reassigned
and
that
that
didn't
matter
to
her,
but
I
would
not
be
taking
irene
away
from
her
committee.
If
I
did
so,
she
would
consider
that
an
indication
that
I
was
prepared
to
pack
my
desk.
So
it's
often
the
case
between
council
members
and
their
clerks
that
the
clerks
are
instrumental
to
their
council's
success.
C
They
are
the
procedural
experts,
the
guides,
the
behind
the
scenes
problem
fixers,
who
make
our
system
operate
effectively
efficiently
and
seamlessly,
and
irene
has
certainly
done
that
over
a
35-year
career.
So
I
wanted
to
take
time
to
recognize
my
colleague,
irene
casper,
with
whom
I've
had
the
privilege
to
work
for
this
past
decade.
M
Councilmember
goodman.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Let
me
first
just
say
to
the
families
of
amelia
and
laura:
may
their
memory
be
a
blessing
to
you
and
your
family
during
this
very
difficult
time.
It's
with
a
very
heavy
heart
that
I
hear
those
resolutions
and
just
wanted
to
chime
in
irene.
I
know
you're
listening
and
you
know
that
there
are
so
many
people
who
are
upset
that
you're
retiring.
M
Yet
we're
happy
for
you
we're
happy
for
you,
because
you
are
one
of
the
best
golfers
in
women's
golf.
We
know
we're
happy
for
you
because
we
know
you'll
have
more
time
to
buy
lottery
tickets,
hang
out
at
the
racetrack
and
otherwise
collect
lottery
pools,
even
though
we
won't
be
able
to
be
part
of
them.
M
You
have
been
the
clerk
for
the
committees,
various
committees,
that
I've
chaired
for
almost
20
years
and
you
have
helped
all
of
the
city
staff,
understand
the
important
importance
of
the
clerk's
office
and
the
importance
of
ensuring
that
we
have
a
process
within
our
legislative
rulemaking
that
makes
sense
to
people.
There
are
almost
120
people
retiring
as
of
today,
but
to
me,
and
to
many
of
the
council
members
that
you've
served
with
including
everyone
on
this
call.
We
never
thank
the
clerk's
office
enough.
M
We
always
work
to
try
to
figure
out
how
we
can
get
the
rules
in
place,
but
you
have
been
able
to
teach
us
and
all
of
the
different
departments
that
report
to
the
committees
that
we
serve
under
how
to
get
things
right.
You
will
be
truly
missed
in
the
office
and
I
hope
that
we'll
have
the
opportunity
to
see
you
virtually
and
in
other
places
as
you
move
forward
towards
your
retirement
to
you
and
all
of
the
other
people
who
have
served
the
city
so
well.
M
B
I
don't
see
any
so
I'll.
Just
add
my
thanks
as
one
of
the
chairs
of
the
zoning
and
planning
committee.
In
many
other
instances,
you
know
we
really
look
to
the
clerks,
as
we're
being
you
know,
handling
a
lot
of
very
controversial,
very
emotional
things,
zoning
and
parking
among
the
highest
heated
controversies.
We
tend
to
see
at
the
local
level,
so
your
study
presence
has
been
just
really
really
appreciated
by
so
many
of
us
as
councilmember
goodwin
said
council.
Vice
president
jenkins.
D
Thank
you
once
again,
madam
president,
and
I
just
want
to
just
offer
my
congratulations
to
ms
casper
on
a
a
long
career
of
public
service.
Here
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
D
I
have
known
you
for
18
of
those
30
plus
years
you
committed
to
the
city
irene
and
have
appreciated
the
the
time
that
we
were
able
to
to
spend
together.
Just
on
a
personal
note
and
talk
about
our
love
for
sports
and
athletics
and
your
golf
career
as
as
has
been
noted,
and
so
just
want
to
wish
you
the
best
in
your
retirement
and
and
thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
N
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Previous
speakers
have
already
expressed
their
adoration,
but
irene
has
been
such
a
calming
force
through
some
of
the
most
difficult
and
controversial
items.
She's
a
constant
and
a
mainstay
in
our
city
and
irene
you'll
be
greatly
missed.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
didn't
want
to
let
the
moment
go
by
without
also
expressing
my
gratitude
tyreen
and
many
thanks
and
it's
been
great,
getting
to
know
you
over
the
years
and
I'm
just
really
excited
for
you
on
a
personal
level,
even
though
we're
gonna
miss
you
deeply
at
city
hall,
thank
you
and
all
the
best.
B
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
have
folks
a
lot
of
folks
retire
and
we
offer
the
early
retirement
option,
and
so
a
lot
of
those
retirements
are
coming
through
now,
and
I
just
I
know
that
we've
taken
some
time
to
highlight
a
couple
of
folks
everywhere
being
today,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
so
many
of
our
employees
are
leaving
after
very
distinguished
careers,
many
many
many
years
of
public
service.
B
As
I
always
note,
our
families
also
give
up
a
lot
for
those
of
us
who
step
up
to
serve
our
communities
and
so
just
want
to
offer
my
appreciation
and
thanks
to
an
excitement
for
what's
to
come
next
for
all
of
the
folks
who
are
retiring
today,
and
you
know
in
this
time
period
right
now.
So
thank
you.
B
N
N
Most
all
of
those
regulations
are
are
in
compliance,
so
I
should
say
last
step
with
that
of
the
state,
thus
far,
there's
a
couple
of
remaining
aspects
that
we're
looking
at
at
coming
into
into
lockstep
with
them
as
well
predominantly
in
restaurants,
the
statewide
statistics,
there's
a
there's,
a
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests,
six
million
four
hundred
sixty
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
sixty
eight
total
positive
in
minnesota,
is
four
hundred
fifty
eight
thousand
six
hundred
thirty
three
moving
to
hospitalization
the
total
case
is
hospitalized
cumulative
or
twenty
four
thousand
one
hundred
twenty
six,
with
total
cases
hospitalized
in
the
icu
at
five
thousand
fifteen
minneapolis
case
information,
total
positive
cases
are
thirty.
N
One
thousand
three
hundred
and
fifty
eight
with
two
thousand
one
hundred
eighty
one
hospitalized
thirty
thousand
391
have
been
have
recovered
and
tragically
371
deceased.
There
is
a
chart
here
that
should
be
in
your
report
showing
minneapolis
demographic
information,
and
I
know
our
our
health
department
will
will.
It
should
be
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
on
that
front.
N
As
for
situational
updates,
over
the
past
week,
there
have
been
about
80
new
cases
per
day
on
average.
This
is
the
first
time
the
daily
numbers
of
cases
have
been
below
100
in
the
past
three
months,
and
so
this
really
is,
you
know,
cause
to
begin
seeing
that
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
At
the
very
least,
it's
a
better
trajectory
than
what
we
were
seeing
previously.
N
The
new
case
rate
in
minneapolis
has
decreased
significantly,
however,
we're
still
seeing
at
least
10
new
cases
per
day
and
and
we're
also
averaging
five
hospitalizations
one
icu
admission
and
and
one
death
per
day.
The
seven
day,
rolling
average
rate
for
minneapolis
is
17.1
per
100.
000.
N
of
the
covet
19
cases
in
minneapolis,
63
percent
have
been
interviewed
and
2.3
have
been,
have
refused
2.3
percent,
that
is
case.
Investigators
are
interviewing
an
average
of
90
cases
per
shift
and
making
an
average
of
148
calls
per
shift
plus
a
conducting
workplace
and
other
contact
follow-up
cases
now
have
the
option
of
completing
the
interview
online.
N
As
for
covet
vaccination,
the
health
department
continues
to
vaccinate
people
in
the
phase
1a
groups
and
is
providing
second
doses
for
ems
staff.
Six
vaccination
clinics
will
be
held
this
week
for
more
than
300
individuals.
Over
1200
vaccines
have
been
given
out
to
date,
and
the
health
department
is
also
offering
vaccines
to
blue
and
white
tax
drivers
who
provide
non-emergency
medical
transport
for
covet
patients
and
the
city
is
working
also
with
hennepin
county
to
vaccinate,
sheltered
and
unsheltered
homeless
individuals.
N
Moving
to
community
vaccination
perspectives
and
outreach,
the
health
department
staff
participated
in
the
city's
cultural
radio
shows
during
the
month
of
january
and
on
each
show
they
provided
updates
on
covid19
vaccination
efforts
and
other
important
safety
measures.
Mhd
established
agreements
with
five
community
organizations
to
serve
as
trusted
messengers.
N
There
was
a
vaccine
prospective
survey
as
well
with
more
than
4600
community
members
responding
and
by
the
way,
we're
moving
very
quickly
from
one
a
the
first
phase
on
to
the
subsequent
phases,
as
well
as
for
covet
19
testing.
In
the
past
week,
104
covet
19
saliva
tests
were
provided
at
three
community
based
events,
coveted
testing
in
minneapolis
has
dropped
and
by
the
way
those
tests
are,
in
addition
to
many
of
the
others
that
are
already
taking
place,
that
run
perhaps
by
other
jurisdictions.
N
Covet
testing
in
minneapolis
has
dropped
by
about
20
percent
compared
to
the
last
quarter
of
2020..
The
city's
testing
web
page
offers
the
latest
information
on
testing
sites
and
guidance
about
what
to
do.
While
you
wait
for
covet
19
test
results,
the
health
department
is
offering
free
saliva
tests
to
community
partners,
organizations
and
businesses
and
mhd
has
a
good
inventory
right
now
of
personal
protective
equipment,
masks
hand
sanitizer
gloves
and
are
able
to
fulfill
community
and
business
requests
for
supplies.
N
Moving
to
procurement.
As
of
january
27th
2021,
there
has
been
9
million
180
292
spent.
The
increase
in
spending
of
a
little
over
4
000
is
attributed
to
several
contracts
for
covet
19
testing.
N
21
million
increased
investments
to
dhs
programs
that
address
housing,
instability,
there's
a
number
of
other
items
that
I
won't
go
into,
but
they
are,
they
should
be
noted
in
your
written
packet.
There
federal
update.
We
have
a
new
administration.
N
Since
president
biden
took
office
on
january
20th,
he
has
signed
over
24
executive
orders,
many
of
them
reverse
orders
signed
by
the
previous
president
and
addressed
the
nation's
covet
19
response
economic
relief
workforce
protections.
I
won't
go
extensively
into
this.
Most
of
you
have
been
following
the
news:
a
federal
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
the
the
coronavirus
response
and
relief,
supplemental
appropriations,
act
approved
by
congress
at
the
end
of
december
included
25
billion
nationally
for
emergency
rental
assistance.
N
Minneapolis
received
12.8
million
in
a
direct
allocation
as
one
of
seven
jurisdictions
in
minnesota,
with
a
population
of
more
than
two
hundred
000,
both
hennepin
county
and
the
state
of
minnesota
will
also
be
able
to
serve
minneapolis
residents
in
some
capacity
with
their
direct
appropriations.
N
Moving
on
to
the
gap
funding,
there
have
been
1650
households
that
have
been
approved
for
emergency
assistance
payments
through
the
gap
fund,
and
that
totals
two
million
five
hundred.
Eighty
two
thousand
six

and
ninety

cents
as
of
tuesday
january
twenty,
seventh
and
city
staff,
are
working
through
the
final
batch
of
approvals
and
appeals
from
the
emergency
housing
assistance

staff
do
expect
the
final
round
of
approvals
and
assistance
payments
issued
next
week.
N
The

also
has
completed
a
review
of
all
applications
right
now
in
the

Don't
hesitate
to

would
like
to

Actually
it
should
be

in
your

as
well.
B
Questions
thanks
mayor,
I
don't
see
other
council
members
in
queue.
I
do
have
a
question
about
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
give
us
a
sense
of
how
much
city
capacity
would
be
going
to
things
like
the
testing
or
vaccinations,
and
then
I've
seen
that
the
state
and
county
are
both
adding
capacity
to
their
health
departments,
either
through
job
details
or
hiring
additional
staff.
And
so
do
you
anticipate
there
being
a
need
for
that
capacity
at
the
city
level
or
would
be
more
relying
on
the
county
and
state.
N
Excellent
question
council
president,
so
actually
previous
reports,
we
have
had
the
numbers
of
staff
at
our
city
that
have
been
transitioned
from
their
normal
job
responsibilities
to
that
of
covet
19
assistance
in
some
way
be
that
testing
or
or
or
even
assistance
in
planning
or
assisting
with
vaccinations
as
well.
To
give
you
a
better
information,
I
I
hope
that
either
a
commissioner
or
someone
from
the
health
department
is
on.
They
can
perhaps
answer
council
presidents
bender's
questions
better.
O
Yes,
as
we
look
at
the
next
few
months,
we
will
continue
to
have
this
three-pronged
level
of
activities,
contact,
tracing
and
investigation,
testing
and
vaccinations,
and
there
will
be
many
other,
and
there
are
other
organizations
involved
in
the
vaccination
and
the
and
the
testing.
We
are
trying
to
fill
the
niche
of
having
access
to
people
who
are
highly
impacted
by
covid
and
yet
might
not
be
targeted
by
some
of
the
other
organizations.
O
So
especially
in
in
testing
and
vaccinations,
and
of
course
we
will
continue
to
need
to
hold
our
responsibilities
for
contact
tracing.
As
I
have
mentioned
in
a
few
other
venues.
We
do
expect
some
challenges
in
staffing.
Our
contact
racing
because
of
loss
of
staff
to
other
responsibilities
coming
up.
Our
food
inspectors
will
need
to
get
back
out
and
interact
with
with
restaurants.
O
D
Jenkins,
thank
you,
madam
president
and
mayor.
I
I
just
had
a.
I
guess,
a
comment
to
really
just
continuously
emphasize
the
importance
of
us
reaching
out
to
communities
of
color
to
make
sure
that
we
are
vaccinating
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
our
communities.
It's
really
been
kind
of
challenging
to
to
see
the
nine.
You
know
different
vaccination
sites
throughout
the
state
and
none
are
really
accessible
to
communities
of
color,
be
you
know,
there's
one
in
brooklyn
center.
D
I
believe-
and
I
know
north
point
has
been
doing
some
vaccinations,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
vaccinating
our
our
low
income,
our
communities
of
color
in
equitable
ways.
Before
the
pandemic,
I
mean
before
the
vaccinations
you
know
run
out,
because
there
has
been
a
supply
issue,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
these
communities
vaccinated.
P
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you
mayor.
I
was
actually
going
to
ask
a
very
similar
question
to
council
vice
president
jenkins,
but
I
do
actually
want
to
ask
if
we
have
any
updates
on
getting
a
minneapolis
location.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
entertainment
venues
that
have
been
forced
to
shut
down.
P
That
would
be
willing
to
repurpose
their
space
to
create
transit
accessible
sites
so
that
as
we're
starting
to
be
able
to
offer
vaccinations
to
the
general
public,
there
are
places
that
transit
users
and
others
who
might
be
challenged
to
get
to
suburban
locations
could
could
go.
So
I
guess
I'm
just
curious
if
you
have
any
updates
about
vaccination
sites
in
the
city.
N
Great
point:
council,
member
fletcher
at
this
time
and
I'll
pass
it
over
to
commissioner
a
second,
but
one
of
one
of
the
main
impediments
has
actually
been
the
supply
of
vaccines
as
and
has
not
necessarily
been,
as
you
stated,
the
locations,
in
other
words,
we've
had
plenty
of
space
to
do
it.
We
simply
have
not
had
the
supply
to
to
move
forward.
That
being
said,
I
know
that
the
health
department
has
been
working
on
this
and
is
trying
to
get
some
additional
locations
there.
Commissioner,
can
you
comment
additional.
O
Absolutely
thank
you
for
the
question.
It's
a
it's
a
burning
question
for
me
as
well
just
today
in
reading
my
my
email
exchanges
from
from
the
state
health
department,
I
I
do
believe-
and
I
I'm
not
free
to
say
where,
but
there
will
be
a
minneapolis
location
for
for
one
of
their
ongoing
offerings
and
it
will
be
available
in
a
in
a
transit,
accessible
way
and
yes
to
to
build
on
what
the
mayor
said.
O
The
amount
of
vaccine
is
is
a
is
a
limitation.
We
do
know,
though,
that
the
federal
government
is
becoming
much
more
transparent
and
is
telling
us
how
much
vaccine
they
will
distribute
in
in
three
week
increments,
which
is
really
incredibly
helpful
for
planning,
and
we
are
all
thinking
that
that
will
help
us
make
sure
that
we
are
using
every
every
drop
that
comes,
and
we
are
also
moving
from
one
stage
into
another
so
that
we
will
be
offering
more
vaccine-
and
I
have
just
heard
anecdotally.
O
In
the
last
day,
quite
a
number
of
health
care
providers
are
reaching
into
their
elderly
populations
that
they're
serving
and
offering
vaccine,
and
so
I'm
hoping
that
that
will
also
begin
to
fill
fill
some
of
this
hole
that
that
we
all
feel
very
anxious
about.
So
thank
you.
N
And
I'll
also
note
that
there
are
vaccines
being
given
out
at
our
elections
headquarters
here
in
minneapolis
and
that,
among
other
sites
that
we're
purviewing
now.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
my
question
is
what
steps
of
is
city
taking
when
it
comes
to
a
cultural
approach
to
vaccination?
Q
There
is
a
real
fear
of
vaccination
in
some
communities
in
minneapolis
and
there's
a
stigma
surrounding
that.
So
what
studies
are
we
taking
to
make
sure
that
we
are
approaching
the
right
way
and
not
just
you
know,
what
steps
are
we
taking?
Do
we
have
a
plan,
and
can
you
go
details
on
that
and
my
office
is
definitely
open
to
help
out
if
there's
any
anything
in
that?
Thank.
N
You
thank
you,
council,
member
osman,
you
are
correct.
There
is
misinformation
out
there
regarding
both
the
efficacy
and
safety
of
vaccines,
and
and
thank
you
by
the
way
to
your
office.
N
You
have
repeatedly
stepped
up
and
been
willing
to
help
disseminate
information
so
that
people
understand
the
importance
of
getting
vaccinated
with
with
for
covet
19.,
and
so
I
I
know
that
we
have
already
we've
directed
and
asked
both
our
health
department,
as
well
as
our
communications
staff,
to
to
help
put
together
a
plan
to
make
sure
that
people
know
the
safety
of
vaccines
and
that's
including
doing
things
like
having
our
chief
of
of
fire
chief
tyner,
get
vaccinated
in
a
very
public
fashion.
N
He
certainly
won't
be
the
last
and
if
you're
able
to
disseminate
and
share
that,
showing
that
you
know
public
officials,
people
that
certainly
are
you
know,
seem
to
be
close
to
the
information
are
understanding
the
importance
of
getting
vaccinated.
Then
we're
able
to
push
that
out
even
more
so
and
we're
going
to
have
just
information
that
is
provided.
You
know
in
multiple
languages
to
make
sure
that
people
are
are,
are
aware
of
the
importance
and-
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
willingness
to
disseminate
some
of
that
information.
N
I
don't
know
if,
if
either
our
commissioner
of
health
and
or
our
director
of
communications
has
anything
further
to
add
on
that
front,
but
I
can
assure
you
yes
we're.
Definitely,
on
top
of
that.
O
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
member
osman.
O
We
have
been
working
since
october
to
engage
community
members
to
really
understand
what
some
of
the
issues
are
and
to
form
relationships,
trusted
relationships,
people
who
can
serve
as
messengers
within
their
communities
and
also,
as
the
mayor,
I
believe
said
in
his
presentation,
had
a
survey
and
so
have
really
collected
many
of
those
beliefs
from
the
community
and
have
had
have
used
our
time
on
culturally
specific
radio
to
not
only
provide
information
but
to
answer
questions
as
well,
and
so
we
have
established
agreements
with
five
community
organizations
to
serve
as
trusted
messengers,
and
I
can
get
you
more
information
about
that.
O
Also,
the
presentation
I
will
be
making
to
public
health
and
safety
next
cycle,
we're
going
to
focus.
One
of
our
main
focuses
will
be
on
vaccinations
and
another
will
be
on
our
community
engagement.
So
I
can
give
you
even
more
details
at
that
time
and-
and
I
really
appreciate
your
offer
of
assistance
as
well.

The

is
notice
of
ordnance
introductions.
We
have
two
notices
this
morning.
First
council
member
goodman
gives
notice
of
intent
to

the
subject
matter
of
an

an

provisions

applications
and
rabies
procedures.
B
B
The
and
these
are
all
detailed
in
the
agenda
as
well.
The
first
is
from
council
member
reich
who
moves
to
introduce
to
give
first
reading
and
refer
to
the
transportation
of
public
works
committee,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
that
amends
the
composition
of
advisory
boards
and
certain
special
service
districts
and
changing
the
name
of
the
48th
street
east
and
chicago
avenue,
south
district,
as
reflected
in
the
chapters
shown
in
the
agenda.
B
Fifth
council
members
ellison
gordon
osman
and
myself
moved
to
introduce
gift
first
reading
and
referred
to
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning

The
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
housing
code
to
add
just
cause
eviction
protections
and
a
pre-eviction
filing
notice
requirement.
B
The
question
of
whether
to
amend
the
city
charter
to
add
initiative
and
referendum
for
the
sole
purpose
of
exercising
the
city's
authority
to
control
rents
on
private
residential
property
and
finally,
council

cunningham
fletcher

grant
first

the
city
charter
by
referring
to
the
electorate
and
the
general
election
on
november,
2nd
2021.
B
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
very
briefly
say
because
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
questions
and
focus
on
it.
Just
very
briefly,
name
that
today
we
are
introducing
the
language
for
a
charter,
amendment
related
to
creating
a
new
department
of
public
safety.
K
As
folks
will
see
in
the
attached
documents,
the
language
will
be
very
simple
and
straightforward
in
alignment
with
the
rest
of
the
charter's
plain
language
style.
Similarly,
to
other
departments,
the
details
of
the
organizational
structure
like
the
specific
lines
of
business
and
operational
details
will
be
codified
in
ordinance
rather
than
in
the
charter
itself.
K
B
Cnn,
I
will
just
note
related
to
the
charter
question
that
my
colleagues
and
I
have
brought
forward
for
today.
B
We've
caught
most
of
you,
I
think,
to
offer
some
explanation
for
the
various
options
that
are
presented
in
these
two
charter
questions
and
I've
also
had
the
chance
to
reach
out
to
the
charter
commission
as
part
of
my
discussion
with
them
last
week
to
initiate
some
conversations
about
this
state
law
allows
cities
of
cities
like
minneapolis
charter
cities,
to
enact
policy
to
control
rent,
in
this
case
a
rent,
stabilization
policy,
but
there's
a
bit
of
an
open
question
about
exactly
the
mechanism
by
which
we
would
be
able
to
do
that
and
that
would
likely
be
answered
in
the
courts.
B
I
know
st
paul
is
also
having
some
discussions
at
the
community
level
about
this
kind
of
policy,
so
we
have
offered
two
charter
amendments
that
would
provide
for
three
pathways
for
a
potential
future
rent
stabilization
policy.
B
That
could
be
an
ordinance
adopted
by
the
city
council.
It
could
be
a
ballot
question
initiated
by
the
city,
city,
council
or
an
initiative,
a
referendum
question
initiated
by
the
voters.
So
we
are
happy
to
answer
further
questions
about
that.
We've
worked
closely
with
the
city
attorney's
office
over
a
number
of
years
to
understand
the
possible
outcomes
related
to
this
under
current
state
law,
and
we've
also
had
some
discussions
with
our
delegation
members
who
are
working
on
this
at
the
state
level.
F
F
This
is
about
allowing
there
to
be
public
hearings
and
debates
through
our
council
committees
and
processes,
and
so
I
think
that's
important
context
for
folks
to
realize
and
and
it's
not
a
approval
of
the
language,
as
is
it's
not
an
approval
of
a
concept
so
that
takes
place
later
through
debates
and
discussion
and
committee
procedures,
and
I
just
want
to
let
folks
know
that
who
might
be
watching.
I
might
not
be
aware
of
that.
So
thank
you.
P
Thank
you,
council
president,
I'm
just
noting
that
the
referral
on
number
seven,
I
I
think
the
authors
have
thought
it
was
going
to
public
health
and
safety,
and
this
has
it
referring
to
pogo.
So
I
guess
I'm
I
put
myself
in
queue
mostly
because
I
I
I
wanted
to
confirm
with
the
clerk
that
that's
proper
procedurally
or
see
if,
if
it
makes
sense
to
have
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
be
the
referral
to
host
the
public
hearing.
C
Madam
president,
to
council
member
fletcher's
inquiry,
the
clerk's
office
has
routed
this
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee,
because
it
is
essentially
substituting
for
the
former
intergovernmental
relations
committee,
which
had
jurisdiction
over
all
matters
of
charter.
So
in
its
capacity
to
take
on
the
intergovernmental
relations
functions
through
pogo,
we
had
deferred
that
to
pogo,
since
that
was
the
jurisdiction
for
anything
related
to
charter
amendments.
B
Thank
you,
mr
carl,
that
will
leave
us
with
likely
a
very
long
pogo
meeting
in
two
cycles,
when
the
hearings
would
take
place
on
both
of
these
charter
questions.
So
we'll
make
sure
to
note
that
for
council
members
council
vice
president
jenkins.
P
Fletcher,
unless
there
is
a
objection
from
the
clerk
that
it
would
be
procedurally
improper,
I
will
make
the
motion
to
amend
item
seven
to
refer
to
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
rather
than
to
pogo.
L
B
So
I'm
not
hearing
any
objection
to
that
proposed
amendment
with
that
seeing
no
discussion
clerk,
please
call
the
rule
on
the
introduction
and
referral
of
the
ordinances.
C
C
Q
D
M
B
B
B
Next,
we
have
the
three
or
four
honorary
resolutions
that
were
presented
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
to
adopt
all
of
those
honorary
resolutions.
F
Q
Q
D
D
P
B
B
That
carries
and
those
resolutions
are
adopted
before
we
end
I'll
note
that
we
have
a
request
for
a
closed
session
to
receive
a
security
briefing
related
to
the
upcoming
trial
of
a
former
mpd
officer.
B
I'm
going
to
actually
ask,
I
always
forget
to
do
announcements
if
I
don't
do
them
before
we
leave
and
reconvene
so
I'll.
Ask
if
there
are
any
announcements
from
council
members
before
we
move
to
closed
session.
B
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
receipt
of
a
security
report
or
briefing
under
minnesota,
open
meetings,
law,
minnesota
statute,
section
13d,
.05,
subdivision
3d
meetings
may
upon
proper
motion,
be
closed
to
receive
security,
briefings
and
reports
to
discuss
issues
related
to
security
systems,
to
discuss
emergency
response
procedures
and
to
discuss
security
deficiencies
in
or
recommendations
regarding,
public
services,
infrastructure
and
facilities.
J
So
before
closing
the
meeting
under
this
section,
you
must
in
describing
the
subject
to
be
discussed,
refer
to
the
facility
systems,
procedures,
services
or
infrastructures
to
be
considered
during
the
closed
meeting,
and
to
that
end,
this
briefing
is
specifically
related
to
the
security
preparedness
of
the
entire
city
enterprise,
in
anticipation
of
the
march
2021
trial
of
a
former
minneapolis
police
officer.
B
D
M

P
D
D
B
C
Madam
president,
this
is
casey,
I
believe
we
have
most,
if
not
all,
of
the
council
members
back
into
this
public
session.
And
so,
if
you
want
to
reconvene
us,
I
can
call
the
role
to
verify
that
and
we
can
proceed.
