Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
for
today's
meeting.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota,
open
meeting
law,
section,
13d
.021
and
this
meeting
will
be
recorded
and
posted
on
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.

And
then
there
was
an
email
in
the
evening
from
mayor
fry's,
one
of
one
of
my
enterprise
communications
staff,
with
an
announcement
that
the
city's
mass
mandate
will
stay
in
place.
So,
commissioner,
if
you
could
maybe
just
outline
for
us,
if
possible,
the
status
of
the
guidance
that
we're
receiving
from
various
sources.
I
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Yes
there's
been
a
rapid
fire
of
announcements
and
and
pivoting
of
our
approach
to
to
covid
in
the
last
24
hours,
starting
with
the
cdc
announcement
that
their
research
shows
that
if
you
are
fully
vaccinated,
meaning
two
weeks
after
your
completed
dose
so
johnson
johnson,
that
would
be
one
dose
or
pfizer
or
moderna.
Two
doses.
I
I
So
when
we
learned
about
these
developments
last
evening,
we
gathered
our
epidemiologists
myself
other
staff,
along
with
with
the
mayor's
staff
and
looked
at
some
of
our
local
statistics
and,
as
you
may
recall,
the
way
that
the
state
rolled
out
the
vaccine
epidemiologically
based
older
people.
First
health
care
providers
resulted
in
disproportionate
availability
for
people
of
color,
and
so
only
now
are
the
preponderance
of
people
of
color
really
eligible
or
recently
eligible,
and
certainly
have
not
had
time
to
be
fully
vaccinated.
I
You
know
when
we
look
at
hennepin
county
overall
that
57
percent
of
the
population
has
had
one
dose
and,
as
you
may
recall,
the
governor
had
set
out
a
goal
originally
before
yesterday
that
70
percent
of
the
population
would
need
to
at
least
have
one
dose
before
he
would
lift
the
mandate
and
so
in
hennepin,
county
57
percent
of
the
population
has
had
one
dose
and
in
terms
of
fully
vaccinated,
and
that
relates
to
the
cdc
guidelines
of
not
wearing
masks
in
hennepin
county.
Every
racial
group,
including
whites,
is
below
50
percent
fully
vaccinated.
I
In
addition
to
that,
when
we
look
inside
the
city
of
minneapolis,
we
see
really
some
significant
disparities
in
terms
of
those
who
have
received
one
dose
for
whites.
It's
actually
71
percent
have
received
at
least
one
dose,
which
is
not
fully
vaccinated,
does
not
meet
the
cdc
criteria,
but
does
relate
to
that
goal
that
the
governor
had
set
out
originally
for
blacks,
it's
28
for
hispanics,
it's
35
percent,
and
so
in
many
ways.
I
I
I
corresponded
with
the
state
commissioner
of
health
today,
and
I've
been
assured
that
some
of
the
guidelines
around
social,
distancing
and
capacity
limits
that
were
to
be
in
place
through
the
end
of
may
will
continue
to
be
in
place
and
so
we're
just
trying
to
get
a
full
lay
of
the
land.
So
those
are
my
opening
remarks,
I'm
sure
they
have
sparked
or
they
might
have
sparked
additional
questions.
E
Medical
access
yesterday-
and
they
were
talking
about
this
very
topic
of
how
the
the
prioritization
of
seniors
really
led
to
the
horrific
disparities
that
you
just
named-
71
versus
28
for
americans
35
for
latino
communities.
I
mean,
like
those
numbers
literally
match
every
other
disparity
that
we
have
in
our
city.
E
I
I
I
I
I
think
it's
a
more
than
60
opportunities
that
we
have
had
using
language-based
radio
reaching
out
to
communities,
bringing
our
message
about
the
vaccine,
leading
with
a
understanding
of
the
trauma
that
people
feel
from
past
experiences
and
even
as
you
are
describing
the
current
situation
that
trauma
as
well
and
and
hopefully
creating
a
sense
of
camaraderie
and
and
trust
as
as
that
effort.
So
those
are
the
approaches
we're
using
to
date
and
we'll
certainly
keep
highlighting
those
as
we
report
to.
B
E
B
E
May
I'm
sorry
I
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
these
recommendations
about
prioritized,
prioritizing,
seniors,
etc
did
come
down
from
the
governor.
So
I
want
to
just
recognize,
but
it
it
it
continues
to
replicate
the
very
same
oppressive
policies
that
just
continue
to
disenfranchise
black
and
brown
communities.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
you,
commissioner
yeah.
You
know,
I
think
that
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
to
constantly
navigate
as
local
government
is
the
higher
levels
of
government
setting
the
parameters
in
which
we
have
to
operate,
and
I
have
to
save
my
frustration
around
the
fact
that,
from
the
very
beginning
the
walls
administration
said,
equity
is
going
to
be.
Our
main
focus.
J
I
know
we
are
looking
at
really
tough
numbers,
but
I
know
that
the
numbers
are
better
than
what
they
would
look
like
if
you
all
had
not
been
doing
the
amount
of
work
that
you
had
been
doing,
given
the
parameters
that
were
set
for
you
all
to
operate
within,
I
I
just
want
to
give
my
partnership.
You
know
as
a
north
side,
council
member,
that
represents
an
area
that
has
a
very
large
representation
of
black
minneapolitans.
J
But
I,
but
a
lot
of
my
residents,
were
you
know
my
constituents
were
saying
like
these
are
clearly
folks
from
the
suburbs
like
these
are
folks
from
other
parts
of
minnesota
who
would
never
step
foot
in
north
minneapolis
until
this
resource
became
available
and
essentially
like
the
intentionality
of
trying
to
have
it
available
in
north
minneapolis
to
not
make
it
to
the
targeted
intended
groups?
And
so
you
know
I'm
thinking
about
like.
Where
are
some
other
areas
where
you
know
we
can
have
targeted
impact.
J
So,
for
example,
like
we
know
that
overwhelmingly
kids
in
our
city
are
are
children
of
color
right
and
so
elementary
schools
can
be
a
really
good
opportunity
to
find
parents
of
color
and
you
know
be
able
to
to
reach
those
those
families.
So
I'm
super
down
and
available
on
to
to
help
partner
bridge
any
sort
of
relationships
help
facilitate
so
that
we
can
do
some
intentional
outreach.
My
question
that
I
have
is
in
the
numbers
that
you
broke
down.
You
mentioned
white,
black
and
latino,
but
I'm
curious.
I
Councilmember
cunningham,
madam
chair,
those
are
the
numbers
that
I
was
given
today
and
I
will
look
for
that
information
and
see
if,
if
we
have
that
as
well,
it's
been
difficult
to
get
data
at
the
city
level.
We've
been
able
to
get
it
at
the
county,
so
at
a
minimum
I
should
be
able
to
get
it
for
you
at
the
county
level,
but
I'll
see
what
I
can
do
at
the
city
as
well.
J
Great
yeah,
you
know
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
southeast
asian
folks
are
not
falling
through
the
cracks
unintentionally,
because
you
know
we
don't
have
the
data,
and
the
same
goes
for
native
americans
as
well,
making
sure
that
we're
you
know
keeping
solid
track
of
that.
I
know
we
have
noya
at
the
forefront
so
she's
helping
bring
that
very
critical
lens.
But
you
know
with
with
a
disproportionate
amount
of
asian
southeast
asian
pacific
islander
representation
in
north
minneapolis.
J
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
not
losing
track
of
them
as
well.
So
so
that's
my
question
and
I
that
would
information
would
be
helpful
and
I
also
I'm
curious-
and
maybe
it's
somewhere
and
I
just
haven't,
seen
the
resource.
But
do
we
have
a
break
like
a
breakdown
color-coded
map
of
concentration,
of
where
folks
are
getting
vaccinated,
like
the
percentage
of
the
population
in
the
different
wards.
I
I
We
are
using
it
for
planning
purposes
and
not
making
it
public,
because
the
denominator
is
a
little
challenging
in
that
we're
using
population
from
2019
because
of
the
census.
We
just
feel
a
little
iffy
about
it,
but
it
certainly
is
sufficient
enough
to
give
us
a
sense
of
direction
and
progress.
Absolutely.
J
That
information
would
be
helpful
if
we
get
to
a
place
in
which
folks
feel
comfortable
for
that
to
be
made
public.
I
think
that
that
information
would
be
very
helpful
just
for
public
transparency's
sake.
I
understand
the
need
for
statistical
solidness
before
putting
information
out
there,
so
I
would
just
say
that
that
additional
information
being
public
would
be
helpful
for
public
transparency.
All
right,
that's
all!
I
have
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you,
commissioner.
K
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you,
commissioner,
for
talking
us
through
this.
I
mean,
I
think
you
know.
The
entire
experience
of
governing
through
a
pandemic
has
been
making
unpopular
choices
and
facing
a
set
of
alternatives
that
are
not
fun
and
that
are
not
anything.
Any
of
us
would
have
wanted
to
be
in
this
position
of
deciding.
I
think
in
this
case,
recognizing
that
we
have
a
strong
commitment
on
this
council
that
zip
code
shouldn't
determine
access
to
health.
K
Zip
codes
shouldn't
determine
outcomes
that
your
geography
is.
Our
goal
is
that
your
geography
is
not
determinative
that
everywhere
in
the
city
everybody
is
being
cared
for,
and
so
I
I
think
if,
if
the
information
that
it
that
you're
giving
us
is
that
in
more
affluent
and
wider
parts
of
town,
lifting
the
mass
mandate
would
be
a
pleasurable
fun
thing
that
would
probably
be
safe,
and
if,
in
other
parts
of
town
where
people
haven't
had
access
to
the
vaccine,
it
means
people
will
get
sick
and
die.
K
K
I
will
note
just
for
the
record
that
I
I
am
a
believer
that,
in
that
the
state
of
emergency
is
a
thing
to
be
taken
seriously
and
that
it
gives
power
to
the
mayor
that
the
mayor
should
come
and
talk
to
us
about.
So
I'm
disappointed
that
he's
not
here
to
be
part
of
this
conversation,
I
think
it
would
be
a
conversation
where
I
agree
with
him
and
we
could
have
had
a
constructive
conversation
about
the
decision-making
process
and
about
how
we're
going
to
move
forward.
K
K
K
K
How
can
we
roll
that
out
as
clearly
in
as
many
channels
as
possible,
and
maybe
you
can
start
by
reminding
us
in
this
meeting?
For
the
you
know,
dozens
of
viewers
who
watch
local
cable
city
council
meetings,
what
is
included
in
our
city's
mass
mandate
that
we
are
keeping
in
place?
Under
what
circumstances
are
we
telling
people?
You
must
wear
a
mask.
I
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher
and,
madam
president,
let
me
start
with
the
communication
piece,
I'm
really
great.
On
the
overall
big
picture.
I
don't
know
if
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
tell
you
the
the
finer
details
of
the
current,
the
current
mass
mandate
with
accuracy,
and
so
I'm
going
to
step
step
back
from
that
and
and
hopefully
all
the
kinds
of
communication
we're
doing
will
answer
that.
I
I
The
mayor
did
issue
a
press
release
yesterday
to
be
as
clear
as
soon
as
as
possible,
and
I
saw
that
that
made
it
into
the
star
tribune
on
the
front
page.
So
certainly
you
know
our
early
efforts
are
there,
but
I
agree.
It's
the
rapid
fire
array
of
information,
both
from
cdc
and
the
governor,
have
have
created
confusion.
I
I
If
I
might,
I
have
because
I
have
capable
staff
that
are
also
joining
us
on
this
and
watching
our
meeting
here.
They
have
sent
me
numbers
for
the
american,
indian
and
asian
communities
in
terms
of
first
dose
as
the
numbers
get
small.
The
number
of
the
population
number
gets
small,
we
become
less
confident
of
the
numbers,
but
I
think
they
give
you
a
sense
so
in
the
asian
community,
59
have
received
at
least
one
dose
and
in
the
american
indian
community
53.
I
K
Thank
you.
I
I
I
appreciate
that.
I
I
think
it
is.
It
is
true
that
we
have
all
been
living
under
the
mass
mandate
for
a
long
time.
I
think
many
of
us
long
ago
have
forgotten
which
aspects
of
masking
and
social
distance
distancing
were
mandated
by
which
units
of
government
and
you
know
which,
which
parts
of
it
are
actually
a
part
of
our
city
ordinance.
So
I
know
that,
for
example,
people
have
been
adjusting
in
the
last
few
weeks
to
cdc
guidance.
K
That
says
we
don't
need
to
wear
masks
outside.
I
I
I
don't
remember
what
what
the
city
ordinance
specifically
says.
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
all
be
able
to
communicate
this,
and
I
see
that
the
clerk
posted
the
links
in
the
chat
and
to
the
actual
regulations.
So
we
can
all
go
back
and
read
the
ordinance,
that's
good,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
communicate
in
much
clearer
terms
than
that
to
everybody.
K
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
today
to
try
to
clarify
this,
for
everybody
to
minimize
conflict
and
confusion
and
stress
for
everybody
who's
trying
to
do
their
best
to
get
out
and
support
local
businesses
to
get
out
and
participate
in
art
a
world
to
get
out
and
participate
in.
You
know
the
the
city
in
the
ways
that
we've
invited
them
to
and
make
sure
that
they're
doing
it
in
a
way
that
follows
the.
B
I
B
Thank
you.
I
have
a
bunch
of
questions
about
the
data
which
I
recognize
you
may
or
may
not
be
able
to
answer
on
the
spot,
but
I
wondered
if
the
numbers
that
you
gave
us
were
percentages
of
folks
who
are
eligible
for
the
vaccine
or
if
they
include
folks
like
children
under
12,
for
whom
the
vaccine
is
not
available.
B
I
B
Also
wondered
I'll
just
ask
the
questions,
as
I'm
sure
you
may
need
to
get
information
from
your
staff
or
or
other
where
elsewhere.
I
also
wondered
if
we
know
the
data
for
minnesota
sit
statewide,
so
colloquially
or
you
know,
put
simply
are,
are:
are
our
vaccination
disparities
worse
in
minneapolis,
or
do
you
think
that
they're
reflective
of
statewide
racial
disparities
in
vaccination
rates.
B
B
I
did
notice
that
this
morning,
minneapolis
public
schools
sent
out
an
email
to
parents,
as
well
as
announcements
through
social
media,
that
they
will
keep
their
mask
guidelines
in
place
in
schools.
So
that's
masks
are
required
indoors.
I
think
that
they
have
started
to
allow
some
outside
time
for
children
without
masks,
but
essentially
the
minneapolis
public
schools
guidelines
will
stay
in
place
as
they
were
prior
to
yesterday's
announcement.
I
I
B
I
Madam
chair,
I
I
I'm
getting
texts
that
I'm
reading
and
so
yes,
the
state
of
minnesota
is
less
than
50
percent,
fully
vaccinated
and
not
sure,
if
that's
that's,
probably
not
down
to
12,
because
the
the
opportunity
to
go
to
12
is
fairly
recent.
So
our
numbers
are
more
likely
to
be
16
and
up
and
not
12
and
up.
B
A
A
The
mayor's
not
here
again
like
it,
is
part
of
the
requirement
for
the
emergency
declarations
is
a
report
to
council,
but
it
really
goes
beyond
that
like
it
is
not
just
for
council,
it's
a
report
to
be
in
public.
It's
a
report
to
the
you
know,
thousands
of
people
that
we
represent
in
our
awards
to
get
that
information
out
there,
while
the
mayor's-
not
here
I
did
want
to
see
if
there
was
someone
that
would
be
able
to
go
through
some
parts
of
the
the
update.
A
A
A
A
A
So
there
is
as
well
as
a
lot
of
other
funding,
that's
coming
and
I'm
looking
for
basically
just
a
way
to
make
sure
that
the
public
understands
all
of
the
federal
resources
and
others
that
are
coming
up
for
housing.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
talk
on
the
news
about
what
happens
as
the
the
governor
looks
at
raising
the
eviction
moratorium.
A
What's
going
to
happen,
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
landlords
that
have
been
waiting
a
long
time
to
be
able
to
to
make
rent
to
make
mortgage
and
of
course,
what's
going
to
happen
to
all
the
tenants,
the
many
of
them
who
have
lost
their
jobs
and
are
facing
financial
hardship?
What
are
what
are
we
going
to
do
so?
There
is
a
lot
on
that,
so
I
think
if
we
could
have
just
at
least
some
kind
of
briefing
for
the
public
of
what
would
is
in
there.
B
B
G
G
You
know,
since
the
beginning
of
covid,
people
can
also
apply
for
rent
perspective
rents
if
their
incomes
have
been
negatively
affected
by
by
covid
they
and
and
it
jeopardizes
their
ability
to
pay
their
rent
going
forward
for
the
the
next
three
months.
Then
people
can
apply
for
that
too.
So,
essentially,
the
amount
of
rental
assistance
that's
available
for
people
who
have
had
any
kinds
of
difficulty
paying
their
rent
or
are
behind
in
the
rent.
That
is
available,
so,
let's
see
amy.
Thank
you.
G
So
much
amy
shut
just
put
in
the
chat
that
there.
This
information
is
on
the
city's
website
and
let's
see
I'm
going
to
so
I'm
sorry,
I'm
going
to
look
it
up
and
then
put
it
put
it
in
here
when,
when
I'm
done
speaking,
I
additionally
wanted
to
let
everyone
know
that
we
at
the
next
biz
committee
meeting
next
week,
we
will
be
holding
a
public
hearing
on
a
new
renter
protection
ordinance,
and
this
is
around
evictions
protection.
G
So
the
ordinance
proposes
to
require
that
landlords
give
a
15-day
notice
before
they
file
an
eviction.
Obviously
this
is
not
in
effect
right
now,
while
the
during
the
peacetime
emergency,
there
is
a
moratorium
on
on
evictions,
so
this
wouldn't
kick
in
until
that
moratorium,
lifts
and
landlords
are
able
to
start
filing
evictions
again
for
things
like
non-payment
of
rent.
G
So
when
that
happens,
and
if
if
the
city
council
does
adopt
this
ordinance,
then
that
will
be
in
effect
and
there
will
be
some
notice
period,
then
that
landlords
will
have
to
give
tenants
before
they
can
file
the
eviction
and
the
idea
there
is
that
then,
during
that
15
day
period,
people
renters
can
go
out
and
and
get
assistance
they
can.
They
can
go
ahead,
and
here
it
is
now.
I
see
it
it's
this.
A
G
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
just
really
appreciate
getting
that
information
out
there,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
in
some
really
hard
situations
and
it's
much
easier
to
help
someone
when
they're
in
a
little
bit
of
trouble
and
only
a
couple
months
of
trouble
and
when
all
of
this
starts
to
go
on
and
on
and
on
so
I
think
it's
just
good
to
start
telling
folks
to
reach
out
now
and
to
really
do
what
they
would
take
advantage
of
these
city
resources.
Thank
you.
B
B
D
Thank
you
for
good.
Thank
you,
council.
President
bender.
I
was
simply
in
queue
because
I
felt
our
staff
were
kind
of
put
on
the
spot
and
thought
I'd
jump
in,
but
then
andrea
brennan
was
able
to
jump
in,
and
so
I
took
my
name
out
of
the
queue
because
she
did
a
great
job,
and
I
would
also
agree
with
you,
council
president,
that
the
information
about
rental
assistance
has
been
very
widely
distributed
through
all
of
the
city
sources.
Newsletters
we've
sent
it
out
three
times.
I've
talked
about
it
at
all.
D
B
Okay,
christian
musicant
has
just
noted
that
the
requirement
to
wear
a
mask
of
outdoor
gatherings
over
five.
So
if
you're
in
an
outdoor
gathering
of
over
500
people,
there
is
still
a
requirement
to
wear
a
mask,
and
that
is
part
of
the
state's
regulations
not
specific
to
the
city,
and
I
think
that
is
all
we
have.
But
please
again,
if
anyone
else
has
any
further
questions
or
comments.
B
B
And
so
we
just
so
deeply
appreciate
all
that
our
staff
are
doing
in
this
really
extraordinary
circumstances.
It
isn't
sustainable.
So
we
have
continued
to
have
conversations
about
how
we
might
get
more
staff
capacity
for
some
of
these
more
short-term
needs,
and
I'm
encouraged
to
hear
some
recent
reports
about
that.
So,
thank
you
again
and
I
don't
see
anything
else.
B
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
members
of
council,
I'm
here
this
morning
as
noted
to
present
a
proposal
for
a
charter
amendment
that
was
submitted
by
the
charter
commission.
Pursuant
to
the
provisions
set
forth
in
minnesota
statutes.
Section
410.12
subdivision
one.
As
you
know,
the
charter
commission
is
like
a
standing
constitutional
convention.
It
is
the
body
charged
with
maintaining
the
city's
homeworld
charter,
as
provided
under
both
enabling
constitutional
provisions,
as
well
as
state
statutes.
C
That
body
plays
a
role
in
any
proposal
to
amend
the
charter
and
may
itself
initiate
proposals
to
amend
the
charter
of
its
own
design.
The
current
proposal
is
of
this
latter
category.
The
charter
commission
intends
to
refer
to
the
electorate
a
ballot
question
to
amend
the
charter
at
the
general
election
set
for
tuesday
november
2nd.
That
proposal
presents
a
series
of
issues
pertaining
to
government
form
and
structure.
C
The
charter
commission
voted
to
approve
this
proposed
amendment
at
its
regular
meeting
on
april
7
and
then
adopted
the
final
form
as
an
ordinance
prepared
by
the
city
attorney's
office,
at
its
regular
meeting
on
may
5..
A
copy
of
both
that
ordinance
and
the
group's
final
report
about
this
proposed
amendment
are
included
in
the
file
for
reference.
C
If
adopted,
this
proposal
would
define
and
separate
executive
and
legislative
functions
through
an
executive
mayor,
legislative
council
form
of
government
under
that
proposed
form.
The
executive
administrative
responsibilities
of
the
city
would
be
vested
in
the
mayor
who
would
be
designated.
The
chief
executive
officer
of
the
city
and
all
legislative
responsibilities
would
be
vested
in
the
city
council.
C
C
The
city's
administration
would
be
realigned
to
report
to
the
mayor,
and
the
mayor
would
have
the
power
to
appoint
and
supervise
department
heads
with
the
council's
confirmation
of
those
appointments.
Department
head
terms
would
be
aligned
with
the
elected
term
of
the
mayor.
The
council
would
retain
authority
over
the
office's
city
clerk,
which
is
true
today
and
would
gain
authority
over
a
reformed
and
elevated
office
of
city
auditor.
The
clerk
and
auditor
would
be
the
professional,
non-partisan
staff
of
the
council.
The
executive
committee
would
be
eliminated.
C
The
role
of
city
council,
with
respect
to
proposals
initiated
by
the
charter
commission
is
a
ministerial
one.
The
council
cannot
prevent
the
charter
commission
from
referring
a
question
to
voters,
nor
can
the
council
alter
or
change
the
proposal
made
by
the
charter
commission.
The
council's
only
responsibility
in
this
regard
is
to
fix
the
form
of
the
ballot
question,
which
means
that
the
council
must
decide
the
language
of
the
question
as
it
will
appear
on
the
ballot
as
it
pertains
to
ballot
questions.
C
State
law
requires
that
the
language
of
ballot
questions
clearly
capture
the
intent
of
the
proposal
and
that
it
be
easily
distinguishable
from
any
other
questions
on
the
ballot.
It
must
be
framed
in
a
form
of
a
question
to
which
voters
may
answer
with
an
affirmative,
yes
or
a
negative.
No
on
the
ballot.
C
Pursuant
to
minnesota
statute,
section
205.16,
subdivision
4.
The
clerk
must
submit
the
ballot
questions
to
the
county
auditor
by
no
less
than
74
days
before
the
date
of
the
election,
at
which
the
question
is
to
be
referred
to.
Voters
since
the
general
election
is
set
for
tuesday
november
2nd.
That
means
all
ballot.
Questions
must
be
submitted
no
later
than
friday
august
20th.
Furthermore,
under
minnesota
statute,
section
410.10
subdivision
2.
C
The
clerk
must
publish
the
entire
language
of
the
actual
amendment,
not
just
the
ballot
language
in
the
city's
official
newspaper
once
each
week
for
two
consecutive
weeks
prior
to
the
election,
to
give
sufficient
public
notice
of
the
actual
text
of
the
proposed
amendment
as
a
city
of
the
first
class.
This
same
publication
requirement
must
be
made
in
a
newspaper
that
has
an
aggregate,
regular
paid
circulation
of
at
least
25
000
copies
for
the
same
two-week
period.
C
Thus,
the
city
clerk
will
need
to
publish
the
actual
charter
amendment
in
finance
and
commerce,
which
is
the
city's
official
newspaper
and
in
the
star
tribune,
which
satisfies
the
general
circulation
requirements
for
cities
of
the
first
class
in
the
state
of
minnesota
to
be
enacted.
A
ballot
question
proposing
to
amend
a
home
rule
charter
requires
the
affirmative
vote
of
at
least
51
of
all
the
votes
actually
cast
on
that
amendment.
If
enacted,
the
amendment
becomes
legally
effective
and
codified
30
days
after
the
election
unless
a
later
date
for
effectiveness
is
provided.
C
In
this
case,
there
is
no
later
date
in
the
petition.
Therefore,
if
adopted,
the
amendment
becomes
effective
december
2
2021.,
with
that
I've
completed
my
presentation
on
this
proposed
charter.
Amendment
staff
have
prepared
a
directive
for
the
council,
which
would
have
adopted
refer
this
matter
to
its
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
and
also
to
the
city
attorney
and
direct
the
city
attorney
to
prepare
and
present
to
the
committee
that
office's
legal
analysis
of
the
proposal
and
draft
ballot
language.
C
B
L
D
G
H
E
B
B
That
is
adopted
and
therefore
the
the
staff
direction
was
approved.
Mr
crawl,
could
you
remind
us,
did
you
tell
us
the
estimated
date
that
this
so
the
next
step
is
that
this
will
come
back
to
a
policy
government
oversight
committee
meeting
with
the
recommendation
on
language
from
the
city
attorney's
office?
Did
you
did
you
tell
us
that
date
or
do
you
know
a
date
range.
C
It
could
come
back
as
soon
as
in
the
next
cycle
of
the
pogo
meeting.
It
depends
on
how
quickly
the
attorney's
office
is
able
to
prepare
its
report
clearly,
since
the
final
action
has
to
be
taken
in
time
for
final
action
by
the
council
on
august
20th,
there
is
some
time
within
that
timeline
for
the
attorney's
office
to
complete
its
work,
because
the
attorney
has
been
involved
with
the
charter
commission.
B
Thank
you,
and
just
again
for
the
public
who
may
be
following
along
this
multiple
charter
question
journey
with
all
of
us.
The
role
of
the
city
council
and
mayor
in
this
approval
is
to
ask
ourselves
the
question:
does
this
proposal
by
our
city,
attorney's
office
staff
accurately
reflect
the
question
that
was
provided
to
us
by
the
charter?
Commission?
B
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
again
members
of
council.
As
noted,
I
am
here
to
present
the
results
of
the
verification
of
a
petition
that
was
submitted
by
the
yes
for
minneapolis
committee.
Pursuant
to
the
provision
set
forth
in
minnesota
statute,
section
410.12
subdivision
three
to
help
frame
the
context
of
the
decision.
That's
before
the
body
today,
I'll
first
summarize,
the
proceedings
thus
far
on
this
petition.
C
C
So
this
petition
seeks
to
refer
to
the
electorate
a
ballot
question
that
would
amend
the
city
charter
at
the
general
election
set
for
tuesday
november
2nd.
The
petition
presents
a
series
of
issues
all
pertaining
to
the
issue
of
public
safety
and
the
structure
and
delivery
of
public
safety
functions
within
the
city.
Specifically,
if
adopted,
the
proposal
contained
in
this
petition
would
create
a
new
public
safety
department
within
section
7.2
of
the
city
charter
and
would
eliminate
from
the
city
charter
of
the
existing
police
department.
C
It
would
provide
for
shared
oversight
of
the
new
public
safety
department
by
both
the
mayor
and
the
city
council,
and
it
would
allow
the
mayor
and
council
through
ordinance
to
provide
for
the
structure,
duties
and
responsibilities
and
other
operating
matters
of
the
new
public
safety
department,
including
a
determination
about
how
law
enforcement
functions
might
be
configured
after
receiving
the
petition.
The
charter
commission
transmitted
it
to
the
city
council
and
a
copy
of
that
transmittal
letter
signed
by
commission
chair,
barry
clegg
is
a
part
of
the
file
on
this
matter.
C
The
petition
was
received
by
the
city
clerk
that
same
day,
triggering
a
10-day
period
for
review
and
verification
is
provided
under
state
law.
That
10-day
period
began
the
following
day:
may
6th
the
elections
and
voter
services
division
a
unit
within
the
clerk's
office,
handled
the
petition
verification
process
under
the
very
capable
leadership
of
john
martin,
one
of
our
administrators
in
that
division.
Mr
martin
acted
as
the
processing
supervisor
and
was
assisted
by
barb
stone,
who
was
the
assistant
processing
supervisor?
C
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
madam
president
and
council
members.
It's
my
pleasure
to
present
the
findings
of
the
petition
verification
process.
A
first
thing,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
members
of
our
processing
team
for
their
work.
I
don't
want
to
delay
the
announcement
that
our
verification
found
the
petition
to
have
more
than
the
requisite
number
of
valid
signatures.
That
means
we
find
this
petition
to
be
sufficient
under
statute
and
therefore
a
valid
petition.
Having
announced
that
the
petition
is
deemed
sufficient,
I
will
now
highlight
briefly
the
findings
of
our
processing
teams.
M
It
is
more
likely
we
can
match
signatures
to
actual
registered
voters
living
in
minneapolis
when
compared
to
this
list
the
city
of
the
city's
registered
voters.
As
of
april
30th,
we
found
that
14
101
signatures
were
matched
to
valid
voters
in
minneapolis.
That's
a
success
rate
of
roughly
65
percent
to
be
deemed
valid.
The
petition
needed
to
have
at
least
11
906
voters
signatures
to
be
valid
and
the
process
in
the
petition
exceeded
this
minimum
requirement
by
an
additional
2195
valid
voter
signatures
under
law
to
be
deemed
valid.
M
A
petition
must
carry
at
least
the
number
of
registered
voters
equal
to
5
of
the
total
turnout
in
the
city
during
the
last
statewide
general
election,
the
last
statewide
general
election
was
the
2020
presidential
election.
At
this
election,
a
total
of
238
104
ballots
were
cast,
meaning
that
at
least
11
906
verified.
Voter
signatures
are
necessary
to
deem
the
petition
as
being
sufficient
under
law
to
verify
signatures.
That
of
of
registered
voters.
M
If
the
signature
matched
with
the
list
of
registered
voters,
then
it
was
verified
by
processing
teams
if
the
teams
used,
if,
if
not,
the
teams
used
assessment
codes
to
indicate
the
nature
of
the
deficiency,
mattress
required
processing
teams
to
have
reasonably
certain
that
the
signature
was
that
of
a
registered
voter
questions
that
arose
during
the
processing
and
were
presented
to
to
the
supervisory
team
and
recorded
in
the
supervisor's
log,
which
is
included
in
the
report
before
you
all
determinations
on.
Such
questions
were
decided
by
me
in
my
capacity
as
processing
supervisor.
M
As
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
the
greatest
number
of
deficiencies
were
signatures
by
individuals
who
cannot
be
ver,
be
verified
as
being
minneapolis
voters
based
on
the
list
provided
by
the
secretary
of
state's
office.
There
were
a
total
of
4
252
signatures
in
this
category
or
roughly
19.6
percent
of
the
total
petition.
The
next
most
significant
category
of
deficiencies
were
those
that
had
missing
or
in
incorrect
addresses
associated
with
the
signature.
There
were
a
total
of
2631
signatures
in
this
category
or
roughly
12.2
percent
of
the
total
petition.
M
A
full
copy
of
this
report
will
be
provided
to
the
petition
committee
and
will
also
be
uploaded
to
the
file
in
limbs
for
public
access,
a
certificate
declaring
the
petition
to
be
sufficient
has
been
signed
by
the
city
clerk,
and
the
matter
is
now
presented
for
city
council
action,
as
provided
under
state
statute.
I
will
return
the
presentation
to
the
city
clerk
for
further
comments
and
will
be
available
to
respond
to
any
questions
or
concerns
at
the
conclusion
of
our
presentation.
C
Thank
you,
mr
martin,
and
again,
especially
a
big
thanks
to
the
processing
team,
who
works
so
hard
to
complete
this
in
record
time,
so
the
petition
is
deemed
to
be
sufficient
under
law
and
therefore
may
be
referred
as
a
ballot
question
to
voters
this
november.
The
council
now
has
two
points
to
address.
First,
it
must
determine
this
is
a
matter
that
is
constitutional,
meaning
that
this
is
a
proper
question
for
the
charter
and
it
is
not
in
conflict
nor
in
contrary
to
any
applicable
law.
C
Second,
it
must
fix
the
form
of
the
ballot
question
again,
as
with
the
last
petition,
meaning
that
the
council
must
decide
the
language
of
the
question
as
it
will
actually
appear
on
the
ballot
as
it
pertains
to
ballot
questions.
The
role
of
the
council
is
a
ministerial
one.
It's
not
a
legislative
function,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
previous
agenda
item.
State
law
requires
the
language
of
ballot
questions
to
clearly
capture
the
intent
of
the
proposal
and
that
it
be
easily
distinguishable
from
any
other
question
on
the
ballot.
C
It
must
be
framed
in
the
form
of
a
question
to
which
voters
may
answer
with
an
affirmative.
Yes
or
a
negative,
no
on
the
ballot
pursuant
to
minnesota
statutes.
As
I
noted,
the
clerk
must
submit
all
ballot
questions
to
the
county
auditor
by
no
less
than
74
days
before
the
date
of
the
election,
at
which
the
question
is
to
be
referred
to.
Voters
because
the
general
election
is
set
for
tuesday
november
2nd.
That
means
all
ballot.
Questions
must
be
submitted
no
later
than
friday
august
20th.
C
As
a
reminder
to
be
enacted,
a
ballot
question
proposing
to
amend
a
homeworld
charter
requires
the
affirmative
votes
of
at
least
51
of
all
the
votes
actually
cast
on
the
amendment.
If
enacted,
the
amendment
becomes
legally
effective
and
codified
30
days
after
the
election,
unless
a
later
effective
date
is
provided.
In
this
case,
there
is
no
later
date
in
the
petition
provided.
C
The
city
attorney
would
be
directed
to
present
those
legal
findings
and
recommended
ballot
language
to
the
pogo
committee
at
the
appropriate
cycle
for
the
next
steps
in
this
process,
and
with
that
we
have
concluded
our
report.
Madam
president,
along
with
mr
martin,
I
stand
for
any
questions.
The
council
may.
B
B
Mr
carl,
you
noted
that
so
like
the
last
question,
we're
in
this
ministerial
role,
part
of
our
job
is
to
similarly
match
the
recommended
language
to
the
intent
and
then
there's
a
secondary
piece,
which
is:
is
it
constitutional,
which
isn't
part
of
the
of
the
previous
item?
Could
you
talk
about
why
that
additional
question
is
part
of
this
item
and
not
the
previous
one.
C
Madam
president,
if
I
misspoke
it
is
always
a
question
of
whether
or
not
a
ballot
question
is
constitutional,
so
it
applies
to
both
the
business
item.
Number
two
and
new
business
item
number
three:
okay,
the
city
attorney
would
have
to
bring
forward
a
finding
that
neither
of
those
proposals
is
in
conflict
with
or
contrary
to
existing
state
or
local
laws
and
would
prepare
draft
ballot
language
that
accurately
reflects
the
intent
of
the
proposal.
My
apologies
perfect.
B
L
E
H
E
B
C
Madam
president,
as
with
the
last
item,
it's
really
determined
by
the
city
attorney's
office
in
terms
of
how
quickly
they
can
turn
around
their
analysis
and
prepare
the
draft
ballot.
Language
so
did
not
provide
a
definitive
date.
But
knowing
that
there
is
ample
time
until
august
20th
for
the
attorney's
office
to
complete
that
work.
B
D
Good
morning,
madam
president,
thank
you.
The
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
is
bringing
nine
items
forward
for
approval
this
morning.
Item
number
one
is
the
first
draft
tap
room
and
kitchen
in
the
third
ward
item
number
two:
is
the
satori
apartments
tax
increment
plan
on
west
broadway
item
three?
Is
the
2021
hud
consolidated
action
plan?
This
will
direct
staff
to
submit
the
plan
item
number
four:
are
the
liquor
license?
Renewals
and
five?
Is
a
business
license
operating
condition
at
four
thousand
lindale
item?
Six?
D
Is
a
host
approval
for
a
bond
issuance
at
the
benedictine
health
system?
Item
number:
seven:
as
a
rezoning
at
3301
nicolette
item
number:
eight
is
a
right-of-way
vacation
for
the
department
of
public
works
at
215
washington
item
number.
Nine
is
probably
the
most
notable
item.
This
is
the
regulation
of
off-street
parking
and
travel
demand
management,
ordinance
that
council
members,
gordon
and
fletcher
have
been
working
on
with
that
I'll
move.
All
items
for
approval
this
morning.
F
F
F
I
think
there
could
be
value
in
mid-size
units
in
the
20
to
50
range,
also
being
subject
to
the
minor
tdmp
requirements.
I
believe
st
paul
is
looking
at
25
units,
for
instance,
in
their
ordinance
administratively.
The
minor
tdmp
process
is
not
a
significant
cost
or
burden
and
doesn't
require
consultants
like
a
full
tdmp
would
with
a
traffic
study.
However,
to
comply
with
the
point
systems.
F
The
point
system
in
many
cases,
comes
with
the
cost
via
things
like
additional
pedestrian
realm
improvements
or
incentivizing
transit.
I've
personally
got
a
number
of
projects
that
I
have
been
approved
in
my
award
that
are
under
50
units
and
I'd
like
to
see
more
attention
to
incentivizing
multimodal
transit
and
pedestrian
realm
improvements.
F
That
said,
this
change
is
not
the
only
tool
available
to
do
that,
even
though
it
is
a
tool
and
as
part
of
the
evaluation
of
this
ordinance,
I
know
the
question
will
be
looked
at,
of
extending
it
further
to
more
projects,
and
I
think
that's
a
good
thing.
So
all
that
said,
I
appreciate
the
work
of
the
authors
and
I'm
hopeful
that
in
the
future
we
can
build
on
the
success
of
this
ordinance.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
item
number
nine
just
for
a
moment
to
especially
thank
the
advocates
who
have,
you
know
really
persistently
fought
for
something
that
I
think
is
a
really
significant
step
forward
for
our
city
from
a
climate
perspective,
from
a
transportation
perspective
and
from
a
housing
perspective
I'll.
K
My
co-author
councilmember
gordon,
his
policy
aide
robin
garwood
and
my
policy.
Aide
dave
zafran
have
all
worked
very
hard
to
get
this
to
something
that
I
think
solves
a
lot
of
problems
for
our
city
and
sets
us
up
to
build
for
the
future.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
who
put
in
the
work
on
this
and
I'm
excited
to
vote.
Yes,.
L
L
The
planning
commission,
I'm
also
going
to
just
give
a
little
shout
out
to
chris
meyer,
who
serves
as
the
park
board,
commissioner
on
the
planning
commission
and
before
he
did
that
he
was
known
to
frequently
halls
of
the
city
council
on
promoting
the
idea
of
do.
We
really
need
to
require
all
this
parking,
and
maybe
we
should
do
away
with
the
minimum.
So
I
think
he
deserves
some
credit
for
his
advocacy,
but
also
his
work
at
the
planning
commission
to
help
get
this
through.
L
I'm
excited
about
it
and
I
think
it's
showing
ourselves
that
the
2040
plan
isn't
something
we're
just
going
to
leave
on
the
shelf
to
get
dusty
and
to
forget
about.
But
we
are
serious
about
implementing
those
ideas
and
all
the
angst
and
all
the
difficult
and
the
challenges
and
the
compromises
we
made
getting
that
passed
it's
paying
off
now,
because
it's
making
this
work
going
forward,
move
more
smoothly
and
more
easily,
because
we
have
clarity
about
our
goals
and
why
we
have
those
goals
and
our
strategies
and
implementation.
B
B
Member
goodman,
I
know
long
before
I
was
on
the
city
council-
was
a
trailblazer
in
reforming
parking
in
the
downtown
area
that
she
represented
myself.
As
a
very
new
council
member
will
never
forget
meeting
with
a
man
who
owned
a
business.
In
my
ward,
he
was
an
immigrant
who
owned
a
furniture
store
in
one
of
the
most
walkable
and
transit-rich
parts
of
the
state
of
minnesota
in
ward
10,
and
he
wanted
to
redevelop
his
store
into
he's
one
of
the
lucky
folks
who
owns
land
in
the
city
instead
of
renting
for
his
business.
B
He
wanted
to
redevelop
his
land
with
housing
above
and
his
store
below,
and
it
was
impossible
with
the
2014
parking
requirements
in
place
is
one
of
the
things
that
inspired
me
to
work
on
parking
reform.
As
a
new
council
member
and
back
in
2014,
we
passed
some
city
way
parking
reform
that
brought
our
minimum
down
to
a
half.
B
Now
this
builds
on
that
and
does
so
much
more
by
really
drilling
into
you
know
the
secondary
piece,
which
is
around
climate
and
meeting
our
climate
change
and
mode
shift
goals
and
really
encouraging
the
kinds
of
modes
that
we
know
we
need
to
get
there
to
get
our
greenhouse
gas
emission
goals
met
parking
drives
so
much
about
the
design
of
buildings
and
about
the
cost
of
housing
in
our
city.
That
one
parcel
in
ward
10
is
just
one
example
of
so
many
sites.
B
So
it's
really
excited
about
this,
and
I
know
you
know
parking
is
both
very
controversial
at
times,
but
because
we
have
taken
this
as
such
a
values-based
approach,
it's
such
a
thoughtful.
You
know
coordinated
with
the
2040
plan
based
on
so
much
time
and
effort
from
our
staff.
As
councilmember
gordon
said.
I
think
it
enjoys
broad
support
now.
B
D
E
N
M
E
B
E
Thank
you
so
much.

I
want
to
note
that,
with
the

we

So
working

proposal
for
mayor
frye
and
finance
staff
on
the
first
tranche
of
funding
from
the
american
rescue
plan.
So
I
have
been
working
with
the
clerk
with
committee,
thanks
to
mr
carl,
and
to
diana
pennington
in
my
office
and
others
amelia
from
finance,
who
are
working
to
create
a
calendar
that
we
could
share
soon
with
you
all
and
with
the
public
to
consider
and
bring
those
first
round
of
american
rescue
plan
dollars
through
the
city
council
for
approval.
B
So
finance
and
the
mayor's
office
are
working
on
that
longer.
The
bigger
piece,
as
part
of
the
longer
term
planning
for
the
annual
budget
and
beyond,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
that.
If
I
can,
or
I
could
also
defer
to
staff
who
may
have
more
information
about
the
mayor's
process,
so
those
are
the
scheduling
announcements.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president.
As
per
usual,
this
is
the
time
of
year
when
at
least
one
usually
two
council
members
will
announce
a
big
event.
The
nema
sponsored
arta
world,
but
I
will
note-
and
this
was
very
consistent
with
our
earlier
conversations
about
rapid
announcements
from
the
federal
and
even
state
level
in
terms
of
public
safety
precautions.
O
We
do
know
that
the
artists
appreciate
interaction
and
they
certainly
enjoy
the
festive
nature
as
we
return
to
a
more
normal
event
in
times
to
come.
But
I
also
know
that
they
really
get
excited
when
they
have
great
sales
and
you
can
go
to
the
different
websites
and
purchase
this
art.
And
I
know
they
really
have
fun
after
the
weekend
with
all
the
event
and
configurality
of
people.
They
really
get
happy
when
they
have
great
sales
and
that
can
be
done
online.
N
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
concur
councilmember
right.
I
hope
to
bump
into
you
at
the
north
northrop
king
building
sometime
this
weekend,
lots
of
really
great
powderhorn
artists
have
studios
and
artwork
that
will
be
available
there
this
weekend.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
brief
moment
to
thank
my
colleagues
here
today
for
the
support
and
approval
of
the
lake
street
greenway
partnership.
N
I
wanted
to
especially
thank
council
members,
goodman
council
vice
president
jenkins
and
my
brother
and
the
struggle
councilmember
jamal
osman.
As
you
know,
lake
street
suffered
the
most
concentrated
and
deep
impact
during
the
the
burning
down
of
our
city,
and
I
remember
late
last
year,
probably
mid-summer
early
early
fall.
N
And
you
know
a
lot
of
those
conversations-
gave
birth
to
this
lake
street
greenway
partnership
resolution,
which
we
have
adopted
today,
and
I
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
really
impactful
moment
for
us
to
come
together
as
a
coalition
to
support
lake
street
redevelopment
centered
on
the
voices
of
the
cultural
communities
who
make
up
lake
street.
And
that's
really
the
the
the
bang
for
the
buck.
N
Here
is
that,
as
we
saw
so
much
power
and
influence,
you
know
paying
attention
to
the
corridor.
We
knew
that
we
had
to
uplift
and
support
and
build
the
capacity
of
those
very
people
of
color
on
the
corridor
who
have
been
making
lake
street
what
it
is
for
decades,
and
so
this
lake
street
greenway
partnership
does
that
it
brings
together
one
table
where
everyone
can
participate
and
communicate
and
coordinate,
and
so
we're
really
excited
to
to
do
that.
N
So
thank
you
to
all
of
my
colleagues
and
thank
you
to
councilmembers,
goodman,
jenkins
and
osman
for
pulling
through
with
me
on
this
one
and
lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
really
excited
about
the
juneteenth
holiday
and
I'm
really
thankful
for
the
folks
who
made
that
happen.
I
was
very
happy
to
support
that
today
in
in
connection
to
conversations
about
holidays
and
and
special
celebrations
and
cultural
communities.
I
wanted
to
make
a
note
that
this
year
on
november,
2nd
that
is
a
tuesday.
N
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
give
a
heads
up
to
all
of
the
folks
who
are
thinking
about
organizing
days
of
the
dead
events
and
festivals
and
activities
to
consider
that
november,
2nd
is
a
full
election
day.
A
lot
of
the
campaigns
will
be
very
active.
That
day,
trying
to
you
know
essentially
drag
people
to
the
polls
as
well
as
a
lot
of
election
night
results
and
and
parties
will
be
happening
that
night.
