A

Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
jeremiah
ellison,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
committee
meeting
for
thursday
july
22nd.
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record.
This
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
section
13
d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
B
D
C
Osman,
remember
goodman
president.
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
thank
you.
Councilmember
goodman,
councilmember
cono
will
be
absent.
Councilmember
bender
here,
council,
member
schrader.
E
F
C
C
I
can
now
are
you,
I
will
mark
you
as
president,
so
we
have
seven
members
present.
B
B
Okay,
great
great
we've
got
seven
members
present.
Let
the
record
reflect
we
have
a
quorum
narrowly,
but
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
will
be
will
be
joining
as
we
go
along
here.
We
have
two
items
on
our
agenda
for
discussion
today.
In
addition
to
reports
of
committees,
I'll
note
that
item
number
two
is
a
late
addition
to
the
agenda,
an
update
from
our
intergovernmental
relations
department.
That
was
referred
to
this
meeting
at
the
conclusion
of
yesterday's
meeting
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
B
So
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
a
presentation
from
hillary
clint
llc
on
the
2020
civil
unrest
after
action
report.
That
report
will
be
introduced
by
ryan,
patrick
internal
audit
director,
mr
patrick,
take
it
away.
G
Thank
you,
chair
ellison
and
committee
members,
I'm
ryan,
patrick
the
internal
audit
director
and
we're
serving
as
an
internal
audit.
The
contract
managers
we're
an
independent
department
and
we
weren't
part
of
the
civil
response
to
the
civil
unrest
and
therefore
that's
why
we
were
selected
for
contract
management,
we're
assisting
the
team
in
the
sense
that
we're
a
conduit
for
access
to
the
city,
we're
remaining
at
arm's
length,
so
they
can
conduct
their
review
independent
of
any
city
officials
or
influence.
G
We
receive
regular
updates
to
monitor
progress
and
as
they
near
their
halfway
point,
they
would
like
to
offer
an
update
on
the
status
of
their
work.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
project
lead
bob
bomer,
who
is
on
the
call.
H
Thank
you,
ryan,
and
my
name
is
bob
bulmer.
I've
been
with
hillard
heights,
which
is
a
jensen
used
company
now,
and
I've
been
with
the
company
for
five
and
a
half
years
now,
so
we're
going
to
give
you
a
little
update.
H
There's
a
couple
other
team
members
on
on
our
call,
but
our
team
is
much
larger,
we'll
I'll
describe
in
a
second
but
the
team
members
on
the
call
right
now
are
chad,
mcginty,
natalie
fountain,
as
well
as
sydney
roberts,
who's
brand
new
to
the
company
and
wanted
to
participate
in
this
this
conversation.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
taking
time
and
we're
going
to
give
you
a
progress
report
where
we,
what
we've
done
so
far
and
our
next
steps
and
talk
about
some
of
the.
H
Basically,
talk
about
the
next
step,
so
next
slide,
please,
just
by
way
of
background
we've
been
doing,
this
company
has
been
doing
security
risk
management
for
probably
15
years
or
more
we've
been
in
the
law
enforcement
space
for
about
10
years,
doing
assessments
of
police
departments
throughout
the
country.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
those
in
a
second
just
to
get
an
idea
of
the
background
that
this
is
the
business
we're
in
security
risk
management.
Next
slide,
please.
H
And,
and
and
this
is
our
team
we've,
as
you
see-
we've
got
several
members
on
team
only
a
couple
on
the
call
right
now,
but
all
these
team
members
have
been
working
on
different
parts
of
the
project.
You
know
the
backgrounds
are:
are
varied
from
a
lot
of
law
enforcement
experience,
but
also
community
engagement,
fire
emergency
response,
protest
response.
So
so
it's
a
a
wide
variety
of
variety
of
backgrounds.
For
our
team
members
and
and
the
background
in
the
contract
documents,
the
bios
of
our
team
members
are
there
as
well.
H
Just
just
by
way
of
talking
about
some
of
the
projects
that
we've
been
involved
in,
as
you
can
see
on
this
list,
is
there's
a
extensive
list
of
different
types
of
departments
that
we've
worked
with,
as
well
as
in
different
parts
of
the
country.
I'll
point
out
a
couple
of
them.
H
You
know,
four
of
them
here
were
were
assessments
that
also
involved
a
protest
response
so
louisville
we
did
a
complete
assessment
of
their
of
their
police
department,
but
what
part
of
it
was
responding
to
protests
and
santa
rosa
maplewood
la
mesa
were
all
protest
responses
and,
in
particular,
santa
rosa
and
la
mesa.
H
These
were
how
the
police
department
handled
the
protests
during
that
same
weekend
as
as
george
floyd's
death.
So
a
lot
of
the
work
we've
done
in
the
protest
response,
but
also
overall
bigger
issues
regarding
assessments
of
police
departments.
Thank
you
next
slide.
Please.
B
H
Thank
you
next
slide.
H
Please
it
looks
like
we're
getting
not
getting
the
next
slide
or
okay.
Here
we
go
so
so
you
asked
us
to
do
an
indirect,
independent
after
action
report
of
the
entire
city
in
minneapolis
minneapolis's
response,
so
that
includes
the
police
department's
response
on
may
25th
and
and
the
week
thereafter,
as
well
as
all
the
other
city
entities
and
we're
we're
taking
a
look
at
it
from
the
perspective
of
what
are
some
of
the
lessons
learned.
H
So
what
went
well
from
a
cine
city
enterprise
point
of
view,
including
all
the
various
departments?
What
what
challenge
did
you
have?
What
did
not
go
so
well
and
what
are
the
lessons
learned
and
and
what
can
what
can
we
recommend
from
this
week,
of
of
some
moving
forward
recommendations,
how
to
improve
any
kind
of
responses?
If,
if
you're
unfortunate,
to
have
this
kind
of
incident
again
we're
also
the
you
also
asked
us
to
look
at
the
community
perspectives
on
this.
H
What
does
the
community
think
about
the
the
city's
response
and
and
the
various
department's
responses
as
that
week
went
on?
Thank
you
and
move
on
to
the
next
slide.
H
Please-
and
this
really
provides
you
all
an
opportunity
to
understand
what
happened,
why
it
happened
and
identify
the
strengths
and
the
weaknesses
in
the
city.
So
you
know
it
focuses.
You
see
the
four
bullet
points
in
there,
but
I
could
sum
them
up
by
looking
at
the
things
we're
looking
at
are
planning
what
kind
of
pre-planning
is
done
to
prepare
for
any
type
of
incidents,
command
and
control.
H
Once
an
incident
occurs,
how
is
the
structure
set
up
to
to
ensure
that
we
have
clear
command
and
control
over
the
incidents
and
over
the
various
city
enterprises
communications?
H
How
did
each
entity
communicate
with
each
other
and
also
how
did
the
department
and
and
the
city
communicate
with
the
community
and
what
kind
of
communication
was
able
to
come
back
from
the
community
to
the
city
in
order
to
shape
some
of
the
response
and
and
make
sure
that
consider
community
input
as
you're
dealing
with
the
response?
H
All
this
is
under
the
context
of
of
a
key
value
of
protecting
the
first
amendment
right.
So
how
do
you
balance?
How
did
the
department
balance
protecting
first
event
rights
against
the
issues
regarding
protecting
people
and
property?
So
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
you've
asked
us
to
look
at
next
slide,
please
and
and-
and
so
our
process
involves
document
review.
So
right
now
we're
at
the
point.
H
We
have
probably
around
2
300
documents
to
review
that
includes
planning
documents,
data,
mutual
aid
agreement,
operational
plans,
training
records,
just
essentially
anything
that
that
we
could
get
from
the
city
that
we
helped
would
understand
how
the
city
approached
the
protests
and
and
how
they
formed
their
response.
H
We
also
chad-
and
I
were
out
last
week
visiting
some
of
the
sites
just
to
kind
of
understand,
physically
what
things
look
like.
Obviously,
it's
a
year
later,
so
there
are
some
changes,
but
we
were
able
to
be
there
and
witness
some
of
the.
As
you
know,
some
of
the
sites
that
that
still
are
boarded
up
and
or
fenced
off
so
that
that's
how
helpful,
as
we
write
the
report
and
as
we
continue
to
ask
questions
to
see
those
types
of
things
as
well,
we
did
interviews
we.
H
Next
slide,
please.
So
today
you
know,
we've!
You
know
over
a
couple
hundred
documents,
but,
as
I
mentioned
just
last
week,
we
received
a
lot
of
documents
that
that
are
really
helpful
to
the
analysis
and
we're
in
the
middle
of
reviewing
those.
So
all
in
all,
we'll
probably
up
around
2400
documents
as
the
final
amount
of
review
we've
conducted
over
90
interviews
all
across
the
board.
H
We've
got
some
community
members,
but
as
I'll
talk
about
in
in
just
a
minute,
our
next
phase
is
going
to
dive
into
spending
more
time
listening
to
community
members
and
conducting
a
listening
session.
As
I
mentioned,
we
conducted
that
three-day
site
visit.
We
had
some
interviews
then,
but
part
of
it
was
just
meant.
H
We
we
at
least
did
a
drive
around
every
around
every
precinct
spent
a
little
more
time
at
at
the
third,
but
just
to
get
a
perspective
of
of
what
it
looked
like
and
what
those
look
like
and
then
we
we're
again
we're
starting
to
engage
in
the
outreach
of
community
stakeholders
and
groups
with
a
good
goal
of
conducting
community
listening
session.
H
Probably
in
about
three
weeks
from
now,
I
think
the
first
or
second
week
of
august
we'll
do
a
community
listening
session,
but
leading
up
to
that
we're
conducting
some
interviews
of
some
key
community
stakeholders.
Next
slide,
please
again
with
the
the
the
process
continues:
we're
interviewing
more
city,
personnel
and
committee
members.
H
The
listening
session,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
going
to
try
to
schedule
that
sometime
in
first
two
weeks
of
august,
we're
also
looking
at
body
cam
footage
to
to
get
some
various
points
of
view
from
from
the
body
camera
perspective,
we're
just
starting
that
project
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
we've
we've
been
asked
to
do
about
24
hours
of
footage,
so
we're
starting
to
organize
that
now
and
then
we'll
continue
to
review
the
documents
that
we've
seen
as
we
receive
them
next
slide.
Please.
H
So
from
a
timeline
point
of
view,
it's
still
a
work
in
progress,
we're
scheduled
to
submit
a
draft
report
to
the
city
by
mid
to
late
november
and
the
way
our
process
works.
Is
we
submit
a
draft
report
and
then
allow
the
the
city
to
review
it
from
the
perspective
of
of
reviewing
for
edits,
mostly
for
data
accuracy.
If
we
call
the
department
of
division,
it
should
have
been
a
should
have
been
called
the
department
things
like
that.
H
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that
some
of
those
details
are
all
the
details
are
accurate.
So
that
gives
an
opportunity
for
a
department
to
take
a
review
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
missing
anything
that
that's
important
to
the
process
and
then
with
that
process.
The
final
report
is
scheduled
to
be
submitted
to
the
city
by
mid-january
of
next
year
we're
on
track.
I
I
think
we're
perfectly
on
track
to
be
able
to
deliver
by
those
time
frames
and
we
wanted
to
get
this
brief
overview
but
open
up
for
questions.
H
B
Thank
you
so
much,
I'm
going
to
see
if
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
and
we
have
councilmember
schneider
on.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
presentation.
Just
I
saw
a
number
of
the
cities
you
worked
with,
have
also
gotten
consent,
decrees
from
the
department
of
justice,
and
we
are
currently
being
investigated
by
the
department
of
justice.
I
want
to
know
like
a
couple
things:
how
have
kind
of
has
your
work
and
kind
of
kind
of
your
reports
kind
of
been
used
on
two
fronts?
E
My
concern
with
the
consent
decree
is
frankly
just
the
cost
that
it's
going
to
be
to
the
city
of
how
long
will
be
monitored.
What
that
will
look
like
what
that
will
mean
how
that
will
impact
our
own
efforts
to
change
and
how
we
transform
public
safety
here
in
the
city
and
I'll
start
there.
H
Yeah
yeah,
that's
a
good
question,
so
we
haven't
on
the
cities
that
I've
mentioned.
You
know,
for
example,
two
of
them
that
we
know
are
under
the
department
of
justice
scrutiny
right
now.
For
consent,
decrees
are
louisville
and
minneapolis
and
they're
in
the
process
of
we
know.
I
don't
know
where
the
department
of
justice
is
in
in
their
process.
H
We
expect
that
that,
for
example,
in
louisville
it's
been
a
public
report.
Some
of
you
may
have
seen
it
that
we
expect
that,
as
the
department
of
justice
is
considering
how
they're
going
to
handle
the
consent
decree
that
they're
taking
a
look
at
that
report,
because
we
have
some
significant
findings
and
recommendations
there.
We
have
not
had
contact
with
department
of
justice
regarding
their
work
in
minneapolis.
H
I
can
tell
you
that
what
we're
running
run
into
and
as
you
can
imagine
that
from
the
minneapolis
police
department
to
see
itself
being
analyzed
from
all
different
directions
right
now
and
it
becomes
challenging
for
I
know
for
a
lot
of
the
participants
that
they're
they're
coming
from
kind
of
analysis
overload,
and
I
think
that's
a
challenge.
H
B
You
any
further
questions
from
my
colleagues.
I
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
think
my
first
comment
is
more
directed
to
the
city.
The
staff
who've
who've
drafted
the
contract,
or
you
know
all
of
us
here
as
elected
leaders.
I
think
it's
unfortunate
that
the
after
action
report
won't
be
completed
for
such
a
long
time
after
the
protests
and
the
and
the
response
and
all
of
the
things
that
followed.
I
I
I
mix
up
the
campaign
and
the
city's
official
version
operation
safety
net
and
the
response
to
winston
smith's
killing
by
u.s
marshals,
and
I
think
I've
seen
in
those
two
incidents,
some
some
areas
where
I
just
from
my
own
personal
experience.
I
It
seems
that
there
has
been
some
shift
in
some
other
areas
where
there
really
hasn't
been
improvement.
So
I
think
every
day
that
goes
by
that
we
haven't
completed
this
work
and
and
come
to
a
common
understanding,
we're
at
risk
for
a
repeat
of
some
of
the
things
that
happened
after
mpd
killed,
george
floyd
after
the
city's
response
to
the
protests
and
all
that
followed.
I
So
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
state
on
the
record
that
I
think
there's
obviously
a
balance
between
doing
a
really
thorough
job
of
analyzing.
All
of
the
work
the
consultants
are
operating
on
the
timeline
that
the
city
contacted
them
to
do
so
again.
This
is
not
directed
to
the
consultants,
but
it
is
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
by
the
city,
and
if
anyone
wants
to
comment
on
that,
especially
from
the
staff
side,
I
think
it'd
be
helpful
to
understand
how
that
timeline
was
determined
and
it
actually,
it
seems
to
have
shifted
now.
I
Even
since
the
last
group
meeting
to
even
later
and
I'll
just
note
it
I
mean
it
seems
obvious
to
say,
but
maybe
since
I'm
not
one
of
the
people
who's
running
for
reelection,
it's
it's
clear
that
the
report
is
coming
out
after
the
election,
even
the
draft
version
for
whatever
that's
worth,
and
we
have
had
a
lot
of
folks,
commenting
sort
of
editorializing,
again
absent
any
official
review
about
what
happened.
I
I
H
H
Most
of
you,
one
of
the
questions
we
ask
is
what
kind
of
community
groups
community
members
or
associations
whatever
it
might
be.
Do
you
think
that
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
reach
out
to
to
get
the
word
about
about
creating
these
community
engagement
listening
sessions?
So
we've
collected
a
lot
of
those
we're
in
the
process
of
contacting
some
of
the.
H
We
also
work
with
a
little
bit
with
the
office
of
neighborhood
and
community
relations
to
talk
about
who
their
contacts
were
and
we're
reaching
out
to
some
of
those
contacts
to
start
building
that
that
list
of
invites
and
we're
hoping
we're,
depending
on
some
of
those
key
community
leaders
and
organizations
to
spread
the
word
for
us
as
well
as
you
once
we
have
some
more
specific
dates.
We
can
share
those
with
the
entire
council
to
help
spread
the
word
and
we'll
do
this
in
a
virtual
environment.
H
We'll
probably,
we
expect
it
to
be
a
big
response
and
we'll
do
in
a
virtual
environment
where
we
have
multiple
breakout
rooms
depending
on
who
we
have,
we
might
break
them
out
by
different
various
kind
of
interest
groups,
but
the
same
token
hearing
each
other,
but
for
a
mixed
group
on
each
session
is
helpful
too.
So
we're
working
through
that.
H
We
want
to
hear
not
only
from
community
members
that
were
there
experienced
it,
but
also
business
community
members
and
and
what
their
experience
were
and
some
of
the
things
that
happened
with
their
businesses.
So
so
it's
multifaceted
and
it's
about
just
continuing
to
reach
out
and
find
just
different
ways
of
people
to
connect
with
the
groups
they're
associated
with
to
get
the
word
out
that
we're
doing
this
said
respond
to
man.
B
All
right
I'll
give
staff
a
minute.
Maybe
staff
can
indicate
in
the
queue
when
they're
ready.
In
the
meantime,
I
will
call
on
councilman
gordon.
J
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
it
and
appreciate
having
you
here
before
us
now
and,
and
it
looks
like
you've
done
some
extensive
work.
It
looked
like
there's
over
90
interviews
and
thousands
of
documents
that
you
have
reviewed.
What
kind
of
impressions
can
you
share
with
us
right
now?
Our
findings.
Do
you
think
we
handled
it
well?
J
Are
there
big
concerns
about
anything
in
particular
that
are
raised
right
now
that
you're
going
to
be
digging
into
in
the
future
and
are
there
maybe
any
recommendations
that
you
could
have
just
for
us,
at
least
in
the
interim
here,
about
how
we
could
avoid
or
improve
situations,
and
should
something
like
this
arise
in
the
next
few
months?.
H
Yeah,
we
don't
have
any
specific
recommendations,
yet
you
know,
as
I
talk
about,
our
focus
is
going
to
be
looking
at
how
how
well
did
you
plan
and
how
did
you
handle
the
kind
of
command
and
control
and
the
communications
there's
no
specific
recommendations
at
this
point,
but
but
they're
going
to
be
around
those
oftentimes,
it's
about
communication
and
how
did
you
communicate
with
each
other
and
how
did
you
communicate
with
the
community,
but
I
don't
have
enough
to
say
I
have
a
specific
recommendation
yet
if
that
helps.
H
Well,
you
know,
you
know,
probably
the
the
biggest
thing
which
which
you've
all
heard
is
is
that
this
was
an
unprecedented
event,
not
not
many
cities
or
anybody
has
to
have
they
had
to
deal
with
this
kind
of
issue
and
and
their
strug
struggles
on
being
able
to
respond
to
that
it
was
unprecedented.
So
what
kind
of
the
planning
was
done?
Even
though
it's
unprecedented?
There
can
be
planning
efforts
that
are
done,
that
that
help
make
it
a
little
bit
easier,
not
perfect.
J
I
could
mr
chair,
there
was
certainly
you
talked
about
communication,
and
you
talked
about
planning,
there's
a
lot
of
interactions
that
we
have
with
other
levels
of
government.
Are
you
also
going
to
be
doing
some
interviews
at
the
state
level,
I'm
particularly
thinking
of
immediately
after
some
of
the
worst
trauma
and
people
wondering
about
where,
as
national
guard?
Where
do
we
have
extra
support?
Obviously
what
cities
overwhelmed
here
and
it
seemed
like
we
didn't
really
have
that
in
place.
H
Yeah
we're
reaching
outside
so
we're
aware
of
various
communications
that
have
been
made
and
we're
taking
a
look
at
those
we're
also
trying
to
reach
out.
We
don't
necessarily
get
a
response.
You
know,
because
it's
it's
looking
at
minneapolis,
not
the
state.
We
don't
necessarily
get
a
response
from
everybody
from
from
the
state,
but
we
are
trying
to
reach
out
on
some
of
those
to
get
some
of
those
perspectives.
J
Well,
you
should
certainly,
I
think,
develop
yourself
of
council
members
who
are
involved
in
this
and
the
mayor
in
terms
of
getting
responses
and
communication
assistance
elsewhere
and
with
others.
I
can't
imagine
that
the
public
safety
commissioner
at
the
state
wouldn't
be
happy
to
sit
down
and
talk
with
you
and
discuss
it
in
some
detail,
because
that
kind
of
information
could
really
be
helpful
to
us,
especially
looking
ahead
to
the
future,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
don't
get
in
the
same
situation
again.
H
J
Thank
you
well,
thank
you
and
I'll,
just
kind
of
share
my
disappointment
with
how
long
it's
taking-
and
I
don't
know
what
we
could
do
to
speed
up
the
process
at
all,
but
it
does
seem
like
not
having
a
final
report
a
year
and
a
half
later
makes
it
more
difficult
and
there's
lots
of
questions
that
aren't
answered
so
maybe
even
some
more
preliminary
check-ins.
If
we
could
try
to
get
some
more
information
sooner
would
be
helpful.
J
But
I
know
the
government
moves
at
a
snail's
pace
too
often,
and
that
should
be
pretty
unacceptable
to
a
lot
of
people
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
respond
more
quickly
to
these
issues
and
understand
and
learn
from
these
things.
Blank
we're
still
waiting
for
other
reports
too
about
what
can
we
learn
lessons
from
other
police
killings
and
those
things?
So,
hopefully
we
can
get
information
a
little
bit
sooner.
Thank
you.
B
Mr
patrick
is
here
to
kind
of,
I
think,
speak
on
on
the
timeline
issue.
Our
the
timeline
question.
Sorry
not
issue.
That's
been
raised
a
few
times
now,
so,
mr
patrick.
G
Thank
you,
chair
ellison.
I
know
part
of
the
delay
after
the
civil
unrest,
the
city
requested
assistance
from
the
justice
department
under
the
former
administration.
After
a
period
of
time,
the
justice
department
declined
to
provide
assistance
to
the
city.
They
would
have
been
her
first
contact
for
an
after
action
review
and
that
put
some
extra
months
in
between
when
civil
unrest
occurred
when
the
city
determined
that
we
would
have
to
conduct
our
own
after
action
review
and
seek
a
vendor
for
that
project.
G
It's
by
that
point
adding
budget
funds
for
the
the
project
looked
like
it
would
happen
in
the
2821
budget
and
that's
what
occurred
so.
Contract
negotiations
and
selection
of
a
vendor
began
in
2021
kind
of
in
consultation
with
staff
and
and
the
other
things
that
were
going
on
around
the
city
at
the
time
was
determined
that
this
this
timeline
would
have
been
adequate.
Had
we
been
able
to
start
the
project
earlier?
G
Obviously
it
would
be
concluding
likely
mid-summer
so
that
that
put
up
part
of
the
delay
we
can
discuss
potential
strategies
for
for
changing
the
timeline.
I
don't.
I
don't
have
enough
information
to
speak
to
that.
That
currently.
B
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
We
have
councilmember
fletcher.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and,
and
that
I
I'll
I'll
just
name
that
I'm
very
interested
as
as
many
people
are
in
seeing
this
report.
I
don't
want
to
put
pressure
on
the
timing
of
this
report.
I
think
that
ship
has
sailed,
but
I
I
do
think
to
director
patrick's
point.
We
need
to
look
at
how,
as
a
city,
we
can
move
more
quickly
to
start
these
processes
so
that
we're
not
constantly
feeling
frustrated
about
the
length
of
time
it
takes
for
us
to
to
get
reports
and
to
learn.
K
I
know
that
many
other
cities
have
received
their
after-action
reports
and
and
are
are
already
implementing
recommendations
from
a
process
that
we
just
took
a
long
time
to
start,
and
you
know
I
think
that
that's
that's
something
in
our
in
our
procedures
that
we
might
need
to
look
at
at
sort
of
city
staff
capacity
to
to
drive
some
of
these
projects.
We
might
need
to
look
at.
You
know
different
ways
of
doing
this,
but
I
appreciate
the
effort
underway.
K
I
appreciate
the
update
and
you
know
I
I
hope
we
can
be
more
nimble
in
the
future
so
that
we
can
start
learning
in
time
to
implement
these
things
in
a
way
that
they
actually
benefit
and
sort
of
maximize
the
benefit
to
the
public.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher,
I
put
myself
in
queue
just
wanted
to
hold
up
that.
I
think
you
know
to
council
member
gordon's
point.
I
think
it'd
be
really
important
to
talk
to
some
of
the
intergovernmental
partners
who
came
in
to
provide
mutual
aid.
B
I
think
you
know,
obviously
people
reflect
and
and
and
over
time
and
their
experience,
maybe
will
will
change,
but
I
know
that
in
real
time
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
mutual
aid
partners
had
some
had
some
real
on
the
ground
criticisms
of
how
they
were
how
they
were
being
engaged
with,
and
so
I
think
that
they
could
be
a
health,
a
helpful
and
healthy
perspective
to
get.
B
I
know
that
you're
not
looking
at
the
state,
but
the
state
was
involved
intimately
and
what
was
going
on
in
minneapolis
and
they
were,
and
they
were,
their
relationship
with
with
mpd
at
the
time
was
was
was
pretty
intertwined.
So
I
think
it
could
be
a
healthy
perspective,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that,
and
I
also
want
to
say
you
know
in
the
effort
of
not
duplicating
work.
You
know
any
any
plan
is
going
to
have
to
take
into
account
the
full
picture.
B
I
know
that
the
u
of
m
did
a
report
of
some
of
the
of
of
of
the
misuse
of
less
than
lethal
rounds.
You
know,
obviously
having
you
know
having
having
that
report.
Didn't
it
didn't
necessarily
look
great
for
the
city,
but
could
offer
a
really
good
learning
opportunity
for
how
we
engage
in
the
past
and
how
we
make
sure
we're
not
inflaming.
Tensions
are
how
the
police
make
sure
they're,
not
intentions,
and-
and
so
you
know
the,
u
of
m-
did
their
report.
You
know.
B
Obviously
the
you
know,
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
is
doing
their
investigation.
The
doj
is
doing
their
investigation,
and
so
I
think
that
those
you
know
to
the
extent
that
we
cannot
duplicate,
work
and
and
that
these
you
know
these.
These
different
investigations
and
reports
into
what
happened
in
minneapolis
last
year
can
really
help
inform
yours
and
and
and
potentially
take
take
a
little
bit
of
take
a
little
bit
of
work
off
your
plate
as
well,
so
that
you
can
get
the
full
picture
while
also
still
pursuing.
B
Maybe
some
of
those
questions
that
that
none
of
those
reports
or
investigations
have
asked
yet
on
so
so
yeah.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment
and
and
affirm
that
you
know
what
a
few
of
my
colleagues
have
already
said.
We
do
have
council
president
bender
in
queue.
I
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
think
this
has
been
really
helpful
and
just
want
to
appreciate
again
to
staff
and
the
consultants
for
for
doing
this,
even
just
simple
check-in
in
the
public
for
transparency.
I
I
am
in
my
preliminary
conversations
with
our
new
interim,
our
incoming
interim
city
coordinator.
I
raised
this
issue
of
you
know,
knowing
that
we
don't
have
this
report
coming
until
really
next
term.
I
I
I
was,
as
everyone
knows,
in
the
boundary
waters,
with
my
kids
frantically
trying
to
canoe
back
in
a
storm,
but
when
winston
smith
was
killed
in
my
ward
as
the
ward
council
member,
my
experience
was
that
I
really
had
to
take
a
very
proactive
role
in
convening
meetings
and
requesting
information
from
multiple
department
heads.
I
I
You
know
managing
communications
with
my
constituents
and-
and
I
think
one
thing
that
happens
in
our
city's
government
today-
is
that
a
lot
of
folks
who
don't
interact
as
much
with
the
public,
I
think
don't
realize
how
much
the
city
council
offices
do
to
connect
all
those
dots
and
to
really
communicate
to
and
from
our
constituents
and
how
challenging
it
is.
I
When
we
don't
have
a
clear
you
know,
communication
structure
internally
to
get
us
the
information
we
need
and
my
experience
in
participating
with
state
incident
command
calls
is
very
different
than
my
experience
as
an
elected
official
in
the
city
getting
information
from
city
staff.
So
when
the
state
convenes,
an
incident
command
call,
there's
a
set
schedule
for
information
to
elected
officials.
I
There
is
a
respectful
dialogue
back
and
forth
and-
and
that
just
hasn't
been
my
experience
frankly
as
an
elected
official
at
the
city,
and
so
I
think,
even
in
the
very
short
term,
knowing
that
we're
not
going
to
get
information
from
this
report,
we
we
will
need
to
be
proactive
in
doing
everything
that
we
can
now
in
in
mapping
out
what
are
some
potential
emergencies.
I
The
police
kill
people
in
our
city
with
some
frequency,
and
so
it's
possible
that
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
report,
a
person
will
be
killed
by
our
police
department
and
I'm
not
convinced
that
we
have
the
tools
in
place
to
do
a
better
job
of
responding
as
a
city.
So
you
know
just
as
one
example,
even
in
the
in
the
instance
of
the
heat
emergency.
I
So
I
guess
I
just
want
to
offer
my
support
to
figure
out
some
short-term
strategies
to
improve
some
of
those
problems.
I,
if
other
council
members
are
interested,
I
know
we
have
a
group
of
us
who
is
helping
advise
kind
of
from
a
distance,
as
staff
said
just
on
the
process
piece.
That's
partly
why
I
requested
having
this
public
report
so
that
there
wasn't
a
sense
that
only
some
of
us
were
getting
information
more
than
on
others,
and
that
we
were
sharing
all
the
information
that
we
have
with
the
public.
I
So
I
don't
need
to
editorialize
it's
just
a
long
way
of
saying,
I'm
not
sure,
there's
much.
We
can
do
about
this
timeline
at
this
point.
I
Having
this
timeline
puts
our
city
at
risk
in
emergency
response
in
the
interim,
and
I
think
it's
all
of
our
responsibility,
along
with
the
mayor
who
is,
does
not
attend
our
meetings,
but
is
obviously
critical
in
the
response
to
city
emergencies
and
his
office
of
14
staff,
to
really
be
proactive
in
making
sure
that
our
emergency
response
systems
are
working
better
thanks.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
council
president.
Do
any
of
my
colleagues
have
any
further
comments,
all
right.
A
Yes,
this
councilmember
johnson.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
here
at
the
meeting
and
wanted
to
wait
until
the
end,
I'm
calling
that
thank
you.
B
Okay,
yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
You
are
noted
for
the
record,
we'll
see
no
further
discussion,
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
this
report,
and
and
thank
you
for
this
presentation
and
and
we
look
forward
to
further
updates
in
the
future.
Thank
you
thanks
for
your
time,
all
right.
The
second
item
on
our
agenda
is
an
update
on
the
2021
legislative
session
and
special
session.
This
item
was
referred
from
yesterday's
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
meeting.
B
L
Good
morning,
chair
ellison
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
fatima
moore
of
the
intergovernmental
relations
department
and
thank
you,
council,
member
and
chair
allison,
for
placing
this
on
today's
agenda.
As
you
noted,
we
were
prepared
to
present
yesterday.
Thank
you.
L
No
problem
at
all
cheri
listen.
We
will
be
presenting
some
highlights
on
things
that
transpired
during
the
regular
2021
session
at
the
legislature
and
then
the
first
special
session
that
took
place
as
a
result
of
lack
of
budget
agreement
during
the
regular
session.
So
clerks.
Could
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
Please.
L
Great
thank
you.
What
we
will
be
discussing
will
be
items
that
are
explicit
policy
positions
on
the
city's
2021
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions,
we'll
be
overviewing,
some
outstanding
issues
that
we
expect
the
legislature
to
address
either
in
future
special
sessions
in
2021
yet,
and
then
what
2022
could
essentially
look
like
as
well.
L
L
Great,
thank
you.
So,
as
we
prepared
for
the
2021
session,
several
things
were
happening
with
the
city
with
the
state's
financial
outlook.
When
we
entered
into
session
there
was
a
proposed
1.3
billion
dollar
deficit
at
the
state
level.
As
session
progressed,
many
things
happen.
Sales
for
the
most
part
continue
to
climb
within
the
state
of
minnesota.
L
As
the
legislature
entered
their
work,
they
had
a
really
important
thing
to
to
essentially
come
to
agreement,
and
that
was
agreeing
to
the
state's
budget
for
the
next
finding
the
2020
to
2023
years.
So
the
budget
deficit
that
was
proposed
previously
and
then
a
suspected
surplus
became
a
pretty
hot
button
issue.
L
L
The
american
rescue
plan
act
very
fittingly,
added
close
to
3
billion
to
the
state's
coffers,
as
the
state
would
be
getting
its
share
of
the
arp
dollars.
So
as
we
progress
toward
the
end
of
session,
what
was
the
budget
surplus
became?
What
was
a
budget
deficit
became
a
budget
surplus
as
the
influx
of
federal
dollars
were
suspected
to
be
coming
in.
L
Another
key
issue
that
the
legislature
was
going
to
have
to
really
deliberate
on
was
the
governor's
peacetime
emergency
power,
as
was
the
case
because
the
covet
19
pandemic
in
march
of
2020,
the
governor
exercised
the
activation
of
his
peacetime
emergency
power
to
effectively
respond
to
the
covet
pandemic
and
immediate
way
in
a
impactful
way,
as
we've
progressed
with
the
17
18
months
of
of
ongoing
either
special
sessions
and
then
the
regular
session,
the
legislature,
some
members
of
the
legislature
were
not
pleased
with
how
they
perceive
the
governor
to
be
responding
to
the
emergency
and
were
essentially
wanting
to
participate
in
a
more
meaningful
way.
L
So,
therefore
determining
exactly
when
and
how
the
governor
would
would
would
let
go
of
his
peacetime.
Emergency
was
another
really
hot
button
topic
that
they
would
have
to
eventually
find
agreement
on
the
the
issues
as
well.
L
So
some
of
the
the
policies
that
we
knew
would
also
take
the
limelight
during
session
or
issues
related
to
public
safety,
both
with
the
impact
of
the
murder
of
george
floyd
and
then
the
the
subsequent
civil
unrest
that
took
place
so
rebuilding
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
other
surrounding
cities
covet
response
still
as
we
were
and
still
are
in
a
pandemic,
and
then
the
eviction
moratorium
off-ramp
as
a
result
of
the
peacetime
emergency
evictions
were
stopped
elections,
funding
election
debates
as
a
result
of
the
previous
2020
election
and
then
some
of
the
the
fundamentals-
finance
related
bills
that
are
passed
at
the
legislature,
things
related
to
public
financing
taxes,
some
housing,
transportation,
climate,
energy
and
overall
economic
development
needs.
L
So
these
were
the
issues
that
legislatures
were
grappling
with
as
they
progress
during
the
months
from
january,
till
mid-july
and
end
of
june,
actually
at
the
legislature.
So
with
that,
could
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
Please.
L
This
slide
on
and
the
next
slide
will
focus
on
the
public
finance
related
provisions
that
were
passed
at
the
legislature,
and
I
will
note
that
all
of
the
budget
bills
have
been
signed
by
the
governor
and
are
now
law.
The
staff
at
the
legislature
drafted
these
these
bills
and
relatively
quick
time
frame
and
for
the
most
part,
we've
we've
looked
through
all
of
them,
but
the
the
chapters
have
not
been
released
from
the
revisers
office
at
the
legislature.
Yet
all
of
the
chapters
have
not
been
released.
L
The
a
portion
of
the
public
finance
bill
was
the
tax
bill
and
it
is
chapter
14..
L
The
tax
bill
that
was
passed
produces
about
49.1
billion
dollar
in
revenue
and
then
provides
4.2
billion
in
refunds
through
aids
and
credit,
including
the
760
1
million
in
new
tax
cuts
and
credit,
which
was
another
big
point
of
contention
between
dfl
members
and
gop
members
at
the
legislature.
Exactly
how
exactly?
How
was
the
state
going
to
pay
for
all
of
the
funding
bills
that
was
passed
at
the
end
of
session
included
in
the
tax
bill
is
on
a
paycheck
protection
conformity.
L
So
if
you
recall
the
cares
act
bill
that
was
a
version
of
the
covet
responsible
from
the
federal
government
included
a
paycheck
protection
program
and
the
state
of
minnesota
was
not
in
compliance.
So
there
were
individuals
who
would
have
to
be
taxed
on
those
dollars
that
they
received
from
the
federal
government.
While
there
is
full
conformity
in
the
tax
bill
as
well
as
benefits,
individuals
would
not
be
tax
on
benefits
up
to
ten
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
that
they
received
through
copit,
related
unemployment.
L
Past
pass-throughs,
included
in
the
bill
is
as
well.
Local
government
aid
hold
harmless.
The
the
lga
local
government
aid
formula
for
the
state
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
2022.
L
If
the,
if
the
law
had
not
changed,
the
city
would
have
seen
a
decrease
in
our
lga
amount,
and
so
we
were
advocating
for
either
a
formula
change
which
would
be
a
robust
process
or
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
essentially
other
cities
who
would
see
a
loss
or
reduction
in
their
lga
amount
in
2022,
that
their
amounts
would
stay
the
same.
So
this
provision
was
included
in
the
in
the
tax
bill
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
will
maintain
its
lga
amount
that
it
received
in
2021.
L
Regarding
the
robust
conversation
that
needs
to
happen
around
lga,
the
tax
chairs,
both
in
the
house
and
the
senate,
have
expressed
interest
in
having
that
conversation.
The
last
time
that
the
lga
formula
was
was
changed.
It
took
several
months.
It
took
input
from
associations
like
the
league
of
minnesota
cities,
metro
cities,
greater
minnesota
cities,
representatives
throughout
the
entire
state,
to
ensure
that
the
formula
that
was
ultimately
decided
upon
was
as
equitable
as
possible.
L
So
if
and
when
there
will
be
conversations
during
the
interim
months
on
an
lga
formula
change,
we
will
be
participating
and
working
closely
with
some
of
our
associations
and
partners
on
that
issue,
as
well
included
in
the
finance
bill
is
some
flexibility
around
tax
increment
financing.
What
was
passed
are
two
really
important
things.
L
So
a
new
provision
that
was
adopted
into
the
tax
bill,
included
in
the
tax
bill
and
again
not
directly
related
to
minneapolis
but
certainly
to
our
residents,
is
a
support
for
frontline
workers.
250
million
dollars
was
set
aside
for
frontline
worker
support
and
a
working
group
was
was
developed.
L
A
a
change
that
happened
was
somewhat
controversial,
but
yet
still
we
worked
through
was
a
new
truth
in
taxation
requirement,
as
is
the
case
during
our
our
budget
process.
Information
needs
to
be
sent
to
residents
via
the
city
to
the
county.
L
This
essentially
requires
cities
to
include
additional
summary
budget
document
information
in
their
annual
truth
and
taxation
statements,
and
this
provision
was
initially
going
to
take
effect
in
2021,
so
in
the
budget
process
toward
the
end
of
the
year,
and
because
this
was
a
new
process,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
time
consuming
for
staff
and
really
because
session
passed
this
bill
on
june
30th.
L
There
would
be
a
needed
time
to
essentially
understand
what
the
implications
of
this
new
provision
means,
and
so
we
did
work
with
colleagues
at
the
legislature
and
associations
to
ensure
that
this
could
take
effect
instead
in
2022
to
give
us
ample
time
to
understand
the
implications
of
this
law.
L
L
Great
so
staying
on
again
with
public
finance,
the
there
is
that
the
working
family
credit,
not
a
new
credit
at
all
to
the
state
of
minnesota.
There
is
an
expansion
of
this
credit
for
households
that
have
19
to
20
year
olds.
Initially
they
would
not.
Families
would
not
be
eligible
to
receive
a
credit
for
these.
L
These
age
age
groups.
There
is
now
an
expansion
to
have
them
included
in
the
working
family,
credit
related
to
to
housing
in
the
tax
bill,
which
is
still
quite
unusual.
L
Typically,
the
there
have
been
several
attempts
to
work
on
a
housing
tax
credit
contribution
fund
and
to
have
it
included
in
the
tax
bill
and
successfully.
We
were
able
to
get
this
included
in
the
tax
bill
this
year.
So
there's
a
new
housing
tax
credit
contribution
fund
individuals
can
provide
funds
to
specific
projects
that
they
are
supporting
and
they
will
get
up
to
85
percent
credit
on
their
tax
revenues
toward
the
end
of
the
year.
L
There
are
some
requirements
and
and
guard
rails
that
are
placed
on
this
new
policy
and
it
will
and
is
intended
to
help
with
the
affordable
housing
crisis
that
we
have
in
the
entire
state
of
minnesota
included
in
the
tax
bill
is
a
targeted
community
capital
grant
program.
This
is
a
grant
program
that
is
going
to
be
overseen
by
by
deed,
and
it
is
to
support
non-profits,
who
typically
find
it
very
difficult
to
access
bonding
dollars
through
the
the
regular
bonding
process.
L
This
creates
a
targeted
program
and
24
million
dollar
is
set
aside
for
that
there
was
an
extension
of
the
historic
tax
credit
program
for
one
more
year.
That
program
was
set
to
expire
in
2021..
Immense
advocacy
was
really
directed
toward
this.
It's
unfortunate
that
it's
only
extended
from
one
more
year,
because
it's
a
very
beneficial
program,
it's
utilized
a
lot
in
the
state
of
minneapolis
and
there's
there
are
staff
in
our
cpeg
department
that
work
closely
to
put
together
projects
using
this.
L
This
program,
as
well
so
we'll
we'll
be
working,
we'll
be
continuing
to
work
to
ensure
that
it's
not
sunsetted
and
that
it
can
go
into
future
years.
As
well
beyond
just
this
one
year,
there
is
a
a
new
program,
a
local
housing
trust
fund
program
for
cities
that
have
local
housing,
trust
funds
or
that
want
to
develop
local
housing
trust
funds.
10
million
dollars
will
be
set
aside
for
that,
and
essentially,
cities
can
apply
for
matching
dollars.
L
There
were
several
sales
tax
exemption
bills
that
were
sought
at
the
legislature,
so
in
an
attempt
to
be
equitable,
the
legislature
essentially
just
created
a
a
broad
sales
tax
exemption
for
public
safety
buildings
last
in
the
2021
session,
and
then
lastly,
the
4d
low-income
housing
program,
again
a
really
beneficial
program
to
maintain
our
noaa
stock
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
this
program
there
were
there
what
there
was
a
group
who
attempted
to
change
the
tax
classification
rate
of
this
program
to
a
lower
tax
rate
and
stated
several
reasons
as
to
why
they
were
doing
that.
L
Ultimately,
we
were
able
to
work
again
with
the
legislature
and
colleagues
to
ensure
that
the
4d
tax
classification
rate
is
not
changed
permanently,
without
truly
understanding
the
implications
of
any
tax
classification
rate
change.
And
so
a
study
is
what
was
passed
for
this
particular
program
and
a
temporary
change
of
the
value
amount
in
the
program
we'll
be
working
with
the
league
of
minnesota
cities
and
again
other
partners
to
ensure
that
we
weigh
in
on
relevant
information.
L
The
bill
was
signed
into
law
on
july
one
and
that's
what
we
have
there
for
public
finance
I'll
pause
there
for
any
questions
on
this
slide.
Chair.
B
Listen:
we've
got
a
question
from
councilmember
schroeder.
E
Thank
you,
charleston
director,
moore,
just
wanted
to
get
a
little
more
information
on
the
4d
program
like
if
there
is
anything
the
city
needs
to
be
doing.
In
light
of
the
study,
this
has
been
a
really
beneficial
program,
thanks
in
a
large
part,
just
from
the
dedicated
staff.
We
have
it'd
just
be
helpful
to
hear
kind
of
where,
where
it's
going,
what
what
the
concerns
are
in
the
state
and
kind
of
what
we
can
be
doing
locally.
L
Yeah,
chair
elson
and
councilmember
schrader,
so
the
4d
program
and
you're
you're.
Absolutely
right
is
a
very
beneficial
program
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
We're
not
the
only
city
who
benefits
from
the
4d
tax
classification
program
either.
L
What
was
sought
at
the
legislature
and
what
wasn't
ultimately
passed
was
that
the
for
the
first
tier
properties
for
the
4d
program
it's
currently
set
at
7.75
percent
and
then
anything
at
the
second
tier
and
below,
goes
to
point
two.
Five
percent
there
were,
and
there
were
groups
who
were
seeking
to
have
the
tax
classification
rate
change
across
the
board
abroad
across
the
board
to
0.25
instead
and
the
justification
for
for
for
for
wanting.
L
That
is
because
they
said
they
were
not
seeing
the
benefits
of
the
program
anymore
and
therefore
wanted
to
wanted
to
experience
a
lower
tax
classification
rate
to
help
them
with
the
rising
cost
of
properties
throughout
the
entire
state.
L
We
worked
really
closely
with
our
staff
in
cped
on
this
to
ensure
that
we
we
understood
what
a
0.25
classification
rate
would
what
would
mean
what
the
implications
of
that
would
be
and
what
what
we,
what
we
gathered
was
that
we
would
see
really
a
disapparent
impact
on
fixed
income,
property,
home
owners
and
essentially
a
lot
of
our
our
seniors,
who
are
on
a
fixed
income
and
really
can't
see
fluctuations
or
an
increase.
Drastic
increases
in
their
tax
classification
rates.
L
So
as
far
as
what
we
need
to
do
right
now,
we
are
awaiting
the
process.
Minnesota
housing,
finance
agency
and
the
department
of
revenue
will
be
the
ones
who
will
be
conducting
this
study,
in
addition
to
staff
at
the
legislature,
and
so
we'll
be
working
closely
with
them
to
see
what
information
they're
looking
for.
We
do
have
a
large,
the
largest
pool
of
4d
properties
and
so
want
to
ensure
that,
as
the
study
begins
and
progresses
that
we
are
weighing
in
in
a
meaningful
way,
because,
ultimately,
we
would
want.
L
L
Pensions
for
the
pensions
bill.
There
really
was
not
a
lot
that
impacted
the
city
of
minneapolis.
L
There
were
proposed
policies
and
and
bills
that
would
have
impacted
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
for
the
most
part
we
were
able
to
stave
off
what
was
then
what
was
going
to
be
a
cut
to
our
murph
pension
plan.
There
was
a
proposal
that
was
moved
on
the
senate
side.
There
was
not
a
house
companion
for
this,
but
there
was
a
proposal
that
was
moved
on
the
senate
side.
That
would
reduce
the
state's
share
to
the
mark,
the
murph
fund
from
16
million
to
6
million
to
a
10
million
cut.
L
Essentially,
we
worked
with
our
delegation,
members
and
other
legislators
as
well
to
ensure
that
the
murph
agreement
that
was
passed
previously
was
protected
and
and
continued
and
I'm
glad
to
say
that
we
did
not
have.
We
did
not
see
this
build
included
in
the
final
agreement
for
the
pension
bill
related
to
911.
L
There
was
a
working
group
that
was
established
in
the
pension
bill
and
they
will
be
looking
and
making
recommendations
to
the
pension
commission
about
changes
that
are
needed
for
the
9-1-1
telecommunicators
pension
plan
and
we'll
be
following
that
closely
and
then.
Lastly,
there
was
a
supplemental
state
aid
work
group
that
was
also
established.
That
would
provide
some
recommendations
to
the
commission
on
changing
methods
for
allocating
firefighter
supplemental
state
aid
related
to
firefighters,
also
not
included
in
the
final
agreement,
was
some
firefighter
presumption
policies
that
were
discussed
and
it
was.
L
It
was
looking
at
the
firefighter
cancer
presumptions.
It's
it's
likely
that
that
that
conversation
will
continue,
even
as
we
go
into
the
2022
legislative
session
as
we
are
seeing
growing
issues
around
exposures
of
firefighters
to
some
carcinogens,
based
on
their
line
of
work.
So
we'll
we'll
continue
tracking
that
this
bill
was
signed
by
the
by
the
governor
on
july
21..
L
Thank
you
next
slide.
Please
next
up
was
is
the
net
the
legacy
finance
bill.
It
is
chapter
one
of
the
bill.
It
totals
382.5
million
dollars
and,
as
you
are
all
likely
aware,
this
was
a
an
amendment
that
was
agreed
to
by
voters
as
to
how
as
to
how
much
money
would
go
to
the
legacy
fund
and
then
the
legislature
essentially
then
decides
how
to
dole
out
those
dollars
to
these
different
funds.
So
all
the
funds
that
are
included,
127.8
million,
went
out
to
the
outdoor
heritage
fund.
L
L
I'll
also
note
that,
from
the
from
the
metropolitan,
the
metropolitan
council
for
metro
area,
regional
archery
suite
received
21.7
million
dollars
and
of
this
amount,
1.5
million
roughly,
is
going
to
be
spent
each
year
to
the
counter
for
projects
that
address
threats
to
drinking
water
supply,
as
well
as
water
demand
reduction
program.
L
And
moving
on
to
the
judiciary
and
public
safety
legislation,
so
this
was
this
is
chapter
11..
The
total
budget,
for
this
is
2.6
million
dollars,
and
public
safety
was
a
again
a
hot
button
topic
at
the
legislature.
L
L
L
In
addition
to
that,
800
000
went
for
innovation
in
safety
in
community
safety
grants.
This
would
just
the
funding
goes
to
the
department
of
public
safety
and
grants
will
be
made
to
organizations
and
will
be
targeting
areas
with
high
rates
of
violent
crime.
Local
government
are
allowed
to
work
with
grant
recipients.
L
However,
it's
not
explicitly
stated
that
local
governments
can
apply
for
these
funds
and
we
are
therefore
not
eligible
for
it.
The
focus
is
on
youth
family
and
highlights
the
african-american
and
african,
the
african,
immigrant
and
african-american
communities
as
well,
so
a
really
targeted
program
to
help
with
the
increase
in
violent
crimes
from
that
from
a
community
centric
perspective.
L
During
the
2020
session
there
was
a
work
group
that
was
put
together
to
analyze
data
and
attempt
to
find
solutions
and
understanding
as
to
why
there
were
just
disproportionate
number
of
indigenous
people,
indigenous
women
who
were
either
missing
and
murdered,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
there's
funding
allocated
now
to
continue
the
work
and
find
fund
solutions
for
that
there
was
12.
L
Next
we
have
some
policy
changes
that
were
that
were
passed,
so
the
chiefs
of
police
are
now
required
to
report
all
disciplinary
action
taken
against
officers
to
the
post
board
and
the
post
board
will
be
compiling
and
then
releasing
data
via
a
public-facing
website
that
they
received
on
a
more
frequent
basis.
L
There
was
a
regulation
of
the
use
of
no
knock
warrant,
which
was
essentially
mirroring
what
the
city
of
minneapolis
passed
earlier
in
the
year.
I
believe,
and
then
there
was
there,
are
changes
to
sign
and
release
warrant.
So
the
change
to
sign
and
release
warrants
will
allow
for
non-violent
offenders
to
receive
and
sign
a
release
warrant
and
will
set
up
a
system
to
inform
police
officers
of
the
types
of
laws
a
person
has
been
cited
with
and
provide
those
offenders
with
an
opportunity
to
reschedule
their
court
dates
as
opposed
to
simply
arresting
individuals.
L
There
is
a
75,
sir
charge
fee
change.
This
is
a
piece
of
legislation
which
is
it's
actually
quite
exciting
that
it
was
finally
passed.
It's
been
on
the
city
of
minneapolis
legislative
agenda
for
at
least
three
sessions
now
in
a
previous
session,
made
it
in
the
final
bill
that
was
ultimately
vetoed
by
the
governor.
This
is
the
governor
dayton
back
then
for
good
reasons,
but
excitedly
this.
L
This
piece
of
legislation
is
included
and
essentially
allows
the
court
to
waive
the
75
surcharge
fee
that
you
would
see
when
you
go
to
court
and
then
also
allows
the
courts
to
offer
community
service
in
lieu
of
paying
the
fee.
This
is
a
part
of
the
fines
and
fees
legislation
that
essentially
intends
to
ensure
that
people
who
are
under
resourced
and
that
they're
not
further
harmed
and
that
they're
not
put
in
further
financial
constraints.
L
There
is
also
a
reform
with
civil
asset
forfeiture
laws,
the
change
it
simply
includes
not
taking
property
for
from
an
innocent
owner
in
vehicle
forfeiture
cases.
If
they're
able
to
apply
within
60
days,
it
makes
other
recommended
changes
to
ensure
that
all
people
with
ownership
stakes
in
a
forfeiture
and
they
forfeited
property,
are
notified
and
they're
allowed
to
petition
for
the
return
of
their
property.
L
So
what
we
will
see
relatively
soon
is
that
what
was
coined
as
the
whiskey
plates,
the
w
that
you
see
on
individuals
who
have
been
driving
under
the
influence
you
will
see
that
gone
and
instead
there
will
be
an
interlock
system
that
is
instituted
then.
Lastly,
the
legislation
also
creates
a
task
force
on
missing
and
murdered.
L
African-American
woman,
as
well
so
very
similar
step
to
what
was
taken
place
with
the
missing
and
murdered
indigenous
relatives.
That
is
being
done
with
this
subset
of
people,
black
and
brown
women.
Any
questions
on
that
slide.
L
Next
is
the
health
and
human
services
chapter,
which
is
chapter
seven.
The
total
fund
for
this
chapter
was
18.8
billion
dollars
of
the
funding.
We
saw
a
drastic
increase
to
local
public
health
grants.
15
million
was
allocated
to
the
program,
as
is
the
case
we,
as
we've
seen
with
the
case
of
kovid.
Local
public
health,
is
on
the
front
line
of
responding
to
the
pandemic,
and
so
there
was
a
huge
advocacy
to
ensure
that
adequate
funding
was
given
to
local
public
health
to
support
the
work
that
that
they
do.
L
In
addition
to
that,
15
million
is
allocated
to
the
commissioner
to
the
commissioner
of
health
to
develop
a
local
public
health
funding
distribution
framework
and
we're
tracking
that
very
very
closely
with
the
health
department
to
see
one
if
we
can
weigh
in
and
exactly
how
we
can
weigh
in
on
what
that
framework
ultimately
looks
like
eight
million
was
is,
is
for
the
tobacco
vaping
prevention
grants
which
the
city
has
has
utilized
before,
and
so
that's
very,
very
exciting.
L
There
was
one
point:
there
was
one
million
9k
that
went
to
create
the
dignity
in
pregnancy
and
childbirth
program
we've
been
seeing
and
more
information
has
been
coming
out
about
the
disparity
in
the
disparity
in
births
and
birth
rates
for
black
and
brown
women,
and
so
this
seeks
to
address
that
particular
issue.
L
There
was
an
enhancement
of
the
asthma
medical
system
benefits
to
cover
a
lot
more
asthma,
asthma,
work,
asthma
support,
and
so
that
was
included,
and
then
there
was
12
million
for
the
emergency
services
grant
program.
This
is
related
to
homelessness.
It's
essentially
the
supports
the
the
street
outreach,
the
relationship,
building,
etc.
That
helps
to
ensure
that
people
have
access
to
shelters
when
they
are
available.
L
So
a
massive
increase
in
this
program,
actually,
which
is
really
exciting
to
see
and
then
a
new
funding
opportunity
is
one
million
dollars
was
set
aside
to
help
with
shelter
capital
current.
Prior
to
this,
there
was
no
dedicated
funding
source
to
help
with
capital
improvement
needs
for
shelters,
and
so
this
is
instrumental
1
million
was
set
aside,
and
now
we
can
continue
working
to
see
that
funding
increase
again
at
the
department
of
health.
L
Lastly,
50
there
was
a
50
increase
for
the
housing
support
based
program
to
recognize
the
cost
in
housing
generally,
and
so
a
really
important
connector
to
reducing
the
number
of
people
that
we
see
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
therefore
gaining
access
to
housing.
L
So
next
is
a
state
gov
bill,
and
this
was
this
is
chapter
12..
The
state
gov
bill
includes
government
financing
for
state
agencies,
policy
changes
funding
for
local
government.
If
there's
a
local
government
provision
and
then
elections
related
work
as
well.
L
I
will
note
that
the
omnibus
state
gov
bill
did
not
have
a
local
government
article
included,
and
so
many
of
the
many
of
the
provisions
that
were
considered
in
the
local
government
committee.
The
session
just
essentially
didn't
make
it
into
the
final
bill.
So
therefore
there
isn't
an
article
election
policy
was
debated
in
both
the
house
and
the
senate,
but
ultimately
to
reach
a
compromise.
Many
proposals
were
left
out
of
the
bill.
The
bill
contains
does
contain
several
million
dollars
in
election
grants
to
local
government
and
I'll
go
through
that.
L
Again,
if
you
recall
toward
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
I
noted
that
as
one
of
those
sticking
points
that
the
legislature
needed
to
addre
to
address
and
so
toward
the
end
of
the
special
the
first
special
session,
there
was
an
agreement
to
have
the
governor
forego
his
peace,
some
emergency
powers
and
instead
the
commissioner
of
health
at
the
department
of
human
services
and
the
commissioner
of
deed,
have
some
expanded
ability
to
work
and
call
a
pandemic
response.
If,
if
needed,
included
in
the
state
gov
bill
is
a
covet
19
workers,
compensation
extension.
L
This
was
a
part
of
a
previous
federal
covet,
19
legislation
and
so
to
again
be
in
compliance.
There
is
an
extension
to
that
until
december,
21
of
2021
market
box
actually
ended
up
in
the
state
gov
bill
market
bucks
was
previously
held
in
the
ag
bill,
the
agriculture
bill,
and
it
was
left
out
of
the
ag
final
agreement.
L
There
was
a
lot
of
advocacy
both
at
the
local
level
from
non-nonprofits
who
work
on
food
access,
including
staff
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
to
ensure
that
this
funding
was
included
in
this
in
the
state
gov
bill,
as
it
provides
an
opportunity
for
individuals
to
gain
access
to
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables,
especially
through
farmer
markets,
and
so
this
was
included.
The
funding
for
the
biennium
is
650k
really
great
to
see
this
programming
included
as
access
to
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
is
just
fundamental.
L
Now
move
on
now
to
the
elections
provision
in
the
bill
again
elections,
elections
was
debated
a
lot.
There
were
many
attempts
to
preempt
cities
from
doing
several
things
and
ultimately
those
preemptions
were
not
included
in
the
elections
provision
in
the
bill.
The
legislature
did
establish
absentee
ballot
dropbox
that
municipalities
can
use
for
elections.
L
L
The
there
was
also
an
establishment
of
new
rules
for
determining
polling
place,
locations
and
standards
as
well
for
the
use
of
these
ballot
drop
boxes
again
explicitly
stated
in
the
legislation
and
then
to
help
fund
elections.
Statewide
4.25
million
was
allocated
to
the
secretary
of
state
for
local
election
grants
of
that
amount.
750K
could
is
set
aside
for
election
equipment
and
then
1
million
for
these
new
ballot
drop
boxes,
provisions
that
were
previously
noted
I'll
pause
there.
L
B
I
don't
think
there
are
any
questions
for
this
slide,
so
you
can
continue.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you.
Three
million
dollars
is
also
set
aside
from
the
ameri.
The
help
america
vote
account
to
local
governments
for
grants.
There
was
also
an
extension
of
the
the
hava
fund.
The
help
american
vote
act
funds
until
december
21
of
2028.
L
The
the
hava
fund
help
america
vote
act
was
passed
previously
in
2020
and,
as
has
been
said,
elections
are
expensive,
and
so
there
was
a
desire
to
get
more
of
those
funds
to
local
governments
to
support
the
work
that
we
are
doing
and
lastly,
in
the
state
gov
bill,
there
was
a
a
provision
passed
that
would
recognize
daylight
saving
time
as
a
standard
of
time
year
round.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
ellison,
and,
and
thank
you
director,
moore
for
this
informative
report.
I
I
don't
necessarily
have
a
question.
F
I
just
want
to
just
wanted
to
comment
that
as
states
all
over,
the
country
are
really
trying
to
suppress
and
limit
people's
ability
to
vote,
particularly
african
americans
and
other
communities
of
color,
that
it
is
encouraging
to
see
our
state
actually
investing
in
making
voting
more
accessible
and
and
supporting
the
the
expensive
nature
of
elections
as
we
move
forward,
particularly
since
minneapolis
is
having
multiple
elections
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
To
know
that
we
are
getting
some
support
in
that
arena.
Is
it's
just
really
important,
so
yeah?
F
F
That
is
a
certainly
a
federal
issue,
but
in
minnesota
we
are
attempting
to
make
voting
more
accessible
for
more
people
and
that's
the
direction
that
every
state
in
this
country
should
be
going
in.
Thank
you.
L
Next
slide,
please,
so
I
will
note
what
wasn't
included,
or
at
least
some
other
things
that
were
not
included
in
the
state
gov
bill
and
to
your
point,
come
to
vice
president.
There
are,
while
there
were
many
provisions
that
were
fought
against,
that
would
have
really
disproportionately
impacted
people's
ability
to
vote
gladly.
They
were
not
included,
and
one
of
those
that
was
not
included
was
a
ranked
choice.
L
L
What
was
also
not
included
in
the
state
gov
bill,
and
that
received
many
hearings
was
an
attempt
to
legalize
recreational
marijuana.
L
L
Another
thing
that
was
not
included
that
relates
to
race
equity
was
a
racial
equity
impact.
Note
in
an
attempt
to
ensure
that
any
piece
of
legislation
that
is
proposed
at
the
legislature
takes
into
account
very
similar
to
how
the
city
of
minneapolis
we
have
our
ria
that
we
are
looking
at
analyzing
proposed
legislation
in
a
meaningful
way
to
understand
what
the
implications
will
be
on
all
communities,
local
communities,
committees
of
color,
etc.
L
This
was
the
first
time
this
racial
equity
impact.
No
proposal
was
brought
forward
to
legislature
and
we'll
expect
it
to
come
back
again
in
future
sessions
again
from
house
dfo
members
and
advocacy
groups
as
well.
L
Moving
on
now
to
housing,
the
housing
bill,
totaled,
125.6
million
dollars
included
in
the
housing
bill,
was
housing
infrastructure
bond
dollars,
and
that
is
included
because
this
year,
while
there
were
there,
was
an
attempt
to
get
a
bonding
bill
passed.
Ultimately,
there
wasn't
a
new
bonding
bill
passed.
There
were
technical
fixes
to
previously
passed
bonding
bills,
but
not
new
funding
allocated
essentially
through
a
binding
bill.
A
hundred
million
dollars
again
was
set
aside
for
housing
infrastructure
bonds
to
build
and
preserve
to
build
new,
affordable
housing
or
preserve
existing
affordable
housing
statewide.
L
In
addition
to
that,
3.5
3.25
million
dollars
was
also
set
aside
for
home
ownership
opportunities
to
increase
the
number
of
people
who
have
the
ability
to
buy
affordable
homes,
some
started
homes,
etc.
2.8
million
dollars
was
set
aside
for
the
housing
challenge
program.
This
is
a
very
flexible
funding
tool
that
is
used
even
by
our
cped
department
to
complete
funding
packages.
L
Housing
challenge
dollars
could
be
have
a
slew
of
different
uses,
and
so
it's
a
it's
typically
included
in
the
housing
project.
To
close
up
a
housing
project,
1.75
million
was
set
aside
for
manufacture
home
park
grants
a
new
provision
there.
A
million
dollars
was
set
aside
for
homeowner
home
ownership
assistance
fund,
so
things
like
down
payment
assistance,
things
like
home
ownership,
buying
classes,
etc.
These
dollars
can
be
used
for
that.
L
In
addition
to
address
the
increase
in
the
number
of
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
there
was
a
housing
task
force
that
was
developed
through
the
housing
bill
and
200k
was
set
aside
to
help
support
that
task
force.
I
will
note
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
hennepin
county,
and
perhaps
our
sister
city,
st
paul
and
ramsey
county,
are
they
are
considering
and
perhaps
will
be
applying.
I
know
that
we
will
be
applying
as
a
city
to
have
a
representative
sit
on
this
housing
task
force.
L
L
This
was
a
policy
only
provision,
it
did
not
have
any
funding
attached
to
it
and
we
are
working
with
others
to
ensure
that
in
future
sessions
that
some
funding
is
allocated
to
that
because
we're
frankly
retrofitting
buildings
with
sprinklers
is
very,
very
costly
and
would
be
helpful
to
have
the
legislature
assign
some
dollars
to
that.
L
Some
other
policies
that
were
passed
that
relates
to
tenant
protections
is
a
15-day.
Pre-Filing
notice
was
codified
into
law.
This
was
a
part
that
was
included
in
the
governor's
eviction
moratorium
policy,
and
so
the
15
pre-filing
notice
was
pulled
out
of
that
pulled
out
of
that
eviction.
Moratorium
and
now
has
become
law,
so
this
is
going
to
be
law
going
forward.
L
L
It's
a
this
loan
program
is
a
program
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
also
utilizes,
and
we
were
seeking
an
elimination
of
of
this
extension
for
a
percent
beyond
110,
and
so
that
was
passed
into
the
bill
and
then,
lastly,
there
is
now
federally
recognized
american
indian
tribes
in
minnesota
and
tribal
housing.
Corporations
are
now
eligible
for
a
list
of
affordable
housing
grants
that
are
held
at
minnesota,

E
Thank
you,
chair,
ellison,
director.
More
just
had
a
question
on
the
one
million
dollars
for
the
local
match
for
the
state
house,
the
housing
trust
fund.
I
want
to
see
if
minneapolis
would
qualify.
I
know.
Historically,
they
define
a
trust
fund
as
something
that's
dedicated
funds
and
while
we're
historically,
we
give
money
to
our
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
it's
not
a
dedicated
fund
and
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
something
we
could
qualify
for.
L
Chair
ellison
and
council
member
schrader,
we
would
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
that,
because
this
legislation
just
passed.
We
have
to
we're
waiting
to
see
how
mhfa
is
essentially
going
to
be
interpreting
this.
And
so,
if
it's,
okay
with
you,
we'll
do
some
some
follow-up
we'll
check
in
with
mhfa
and
see
how
they're
they're
interpreting
it
based
on
especially
what
our
programming
language
says
and
let
you
know
what
that
qualification
looks
like
like.
L
B
You
great
and
then
next
we
have
council
president
bender.
I
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
wonder
I
think
the
next
slide
is
about
the
eviction
phase
out,
but
my
understanding
of
some
of
these
well,
especially
the
15-day
pre-filing
notice
that
that's
that
will
essentially
expire
in
early
october,
because
it's
tied
into
the
moratorium
phase-out
this
105-day
period.
I
just
wondered.
I
know
it's
hard
to
predict.
I
wondered
if
there's
any
chance
in
in
special
session,
or
I
mean
the
next
session
would
be
late.
If
there's
talk
about
making
some
of
these
phase-out
protections
more
permanent,
I
know
it's
been
a
priority
in
our
legislative
agenda.
I
For
a
long
time
you
guys
have
been
working
to
build
support.
You
know
whether
the
chances
that
some
of
these
interim
protections
that
are
part
of
the
phase
out
might
become
more
permanent
in
minnesota.
L
Yes,
chair,
allison
and
come
to
president
bender
they're
they're
there
has
there
was
a
yes.
There
was
an
attempt
during
the
regular
session,
to
pull
out
portions
of
the
eviction
moratorium
that
we
know
work
that
we
know
would
decrease
the
frequency
in
which
people
are
evicted
from
their
homes
and
there
will
continue
to
be
an
attempt
to
codify
those
important
policies
into
law,
even
in
future
sessions.
You
know.
L
Sadly,
there
were
a
lot
of
eviction
prevention
policies
that
were
introduced,
pieces
of
legislation
that
were
introduced
and
given
the
nature
that
we
have
a
the
only
divided
legislature
in
the
nation
dfo
held
and
dfo
house
gop
held
senate
there
just
was
not
any
agreement
on
really
many
of
the
meaningful
eviction
prevention
policies
that
were
passed.
L
L
I
want
to
plug
the
homes
for
all
coalition
for
the
work
that
they
have
been
doing
as
well
on
this
both
convening
folks
for
perhaps
and
against
a
lot
of
these
really
meaningful
eviction
protection
laws.
But
I
know
that
the
work
will
not
end.
L
You
know,
even
in
conversations
with
staff
from
the
state,
they
were
even
at
the
beginning
of
obsession
looking
at
which
policies
could
become
law
and
working
really
really
hard
to
get
to
a
yes
with
members
of
the
house
and
the
senate,
and
unfortunately,
we
just
weren't
able
to
get
to
that
agreement.
L
L
Offram
again,
as
noted
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
the
eviction
moratorium
was
a
hot
button
topic
and
it
took
just
about
all
session
for
legislators,
both
in
the
house
and
the
senate,
to
find
agreement
on
what
an
eviction
moratorium
off-ramp
was
going
to
look
like,
essentially
the
offering
prohibits
that
land
prohibits
a
landlord
from
terminating
or
failing
to
renew
at
least
405
days
after
enactment,
except
for
some
material
breach
of
these
cases.
L
It
requires
a
landlord
to
notice
a
10
of
15
days
before
filing
an
eviction
if
the
eviction
is
for
a
non-payment
of
rent
during
the
105
days,
and
that
is
done
essentially
to
ensure
that
there's
ample
time-
and
I
say
ample
with
like
quotations
around
it-
there
was
an
attempt
to
even
get
to
30
days,
pre-filing
notice,
to
ensure
that
people
are
renters
are
able
to
line
up
resources
if
they
really
if
they
cannot
pay
their
their
rent,
that
they
can
reach
out
to
all
of
the
different
non-profits
and
county
county
support,
state
state
dollars,
etc.
L
That
is
available
to
help
them
pay
their
rent
and
15
days
is
what
was
ultimately
agreed
to
the.
The
policy
also
prohibits
a
landlord
for
evicting
for
non-payment
of
rent
against
attendance,
who
has
a
pending
application
through
the
state's
rent,
help
program
or
the
city's
program
as
well,
because
there
are
many
people
who
are
applying
for
assistance,
and
so
if
they
have
an
application
that
is
pending
and
they
can
provide
documentation,
documentation
could
look
like
a
photo
of
their
application
once
they've
submitted
it
on
their
phones.
L
L
All
lease
termination
and
eviction
protections
are
lifted,
so
that
is
the
last
day
of
the
eviction
moratorium
offering
rent
help
and
then
is
the
state's
rental
assistance
program
and
they
have
what
is
now
a
new
dashboard
through
minnesota
housing
finance
agency,
where
you
can
see
the
kind
of
support
that
people
are
seeking
via
some
utilities,
help
if
it's
rent
et
cetera,
they
have
a
dashboard.
L
And
I'll
move
on
to
the
next
slide
now
and
very
briefly,
we'll
go
over
what
was
not
included
in
the
housing
bill
that
really
preempted
cities,
authorities
to
achieve
the
goals
and
and
things
that
we
know
our
residents
are
asking
for.
There
were
a
lot
of
preemptive
housing
policies
that
were
included
on
the
senate
side
from
preempting
some
zoning
and
conditional
use
approvals.
L
There
were
some
aesthetic
preemptive
language,
so
things
like
the
designs
and
materials
that
could
be
used
for
for
housing
throughout
the
entire
city
that
those
provisions
were
not
included,
and
then.
Lastly,
there
was
a
preemption
on
rent
stabilization.
L
Thank
you,
chair,
elsin
and
then
I'll
ask
you
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
and
then
hand
it
over
to
allison.
I
see
now
to
go
over
the
remaining
slides.
M
Hi
good
almost
afternoon,
everyone
allison
nessie
with
intergovernmental
relations,
so
chair
ellison
committee
members
we'll
be
walking
through
the
remaining
issues,
so
climate
and
energy,
which
was
session
law,
chapter
4,
a
total
budget
of
84.9
million,
which
sets
the
budget
for
the
department
of
commerce
and
the
public
utilities
commission
in
that
included,
2.5
million
for
the
north
minneapolis
clean
energy
training
center,
which
has
getting
off
the
ground
with
multiple
sources
of
funding.
But
it
was
great
to
see
the
state
investing
in
that
work.
M
It
included
language
to
develop
a
statewide
energy
transition
plan.
Work
group
singularly
mostly
the
first
task
is
to
focus
on
facilities
that
will
be
retiring
from
you,
starting
with
prairie
island,
but
also
setting
a
comprehensive
statewide
framework
as
other
non-renewable
energy
facilities
retire
over
the
next
few
decades.
The
cold
weather
rule
was
extended
for
two
weeks,
so
it
was
extended
on
the
front
and
the
back
end
the
front
end
in
october
and
the
back
end
in
april.
M
M
Please
the
environment
and
natural
resources
session
law,
chapter
6
on
the
total
budget
is
1.6
billion.
It
includes
3.4
million
for
emerald
ash
borer
mitigation
funding,
specifically
to
local
governments,
to
remove
and
replace
trees
and
includes
1.99
million
for
local
government
water
infrastructure
grant
program
which
is
funded
through
the
mpca.
M
M
It
also
includes
included
a
prohibition
on
the
manufacture
and
sale
of
food
packaging
containing
p-facets
and
then
1.2
million
to
again
to
local
governments
to
address
emerald
ash.
Borer
and
then
3.5
million
to
provide
surveys,
assessments,
trainings
and
assistance
and
grants
to
to
manage
emerald
ash
borer
as
we're
seeing
warmer
climates
and
the
issue
growing
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
E
E
I
guess
I
do
have
a
question
on
the
state
building
code
that
that
is
a
critical
thing
to
pass,
and
I
know
that
minneapolis
is
very
much
leading
in
that
in
the
state,
and
I,
if
I
understand
it
right,
one
of
the
questions
that
has
come
up
is
whether
to
have
a
statewide
policy
or
to
have
something
that
would
allow
a
stretch
code
and
allow
cities
like
minneapolis
to
really
take
the
lead.
M
Absolutely
so,
admittedly,
we
are
missing.
We
are
missing
a
team
member
who
had
a
pre-planned
vacation
today,
steve
huser,
and
he
has
been
covering
that
issue
closely.
So
I'll
do
my
best
as
we've
been
tangentially.
We
all
you
know
talk
to
each
other
about
these
things,
but
the
biggest
barrier
right
now
is:
is
the
senate
and
the
various
inter
interest
groups
that
still
have
apprehension
about
this
and
are
not
comfortable
yet
with
either
a
statewide
or
even
a
local?
M
You
know
the
city
of
minneapolis
having
its
own
next
year
is
an
election
year,
and
I
I
do
preemption
around
local
governments
implementing
stricter
zoning
development.
M
Any
type
of
guidelines,
as
fatima
spoke
about
has
been
the
senate
has
been
pushing
the
ability
for
the
state
to
preempt.
So
if
I
could
predict,
I
would
not,
I
would
say
it.
Chances
in
2022
would
be
will
be
continue
to
be
a
challenge
due
to
the
political
makeup
of
the
legislature.
M
Oh
can
we
go
back
to
the
capital
investment
site?
Thank
you.
So
real
quick.
As
director
moore
mentioned,
there
was
not
a
capital
investment,
also
known
as
bonding
bill
this
year,
but
there
were
technical
modifications
and
three
minneapolis
projects
were
included.
The
upper
harbor
terminal
infrastructure
bonds,
which
need
to
be
encumbered
by
the
end
of
2022
due
to
covid
and
the
pause
of
the
engagement
and
planning
around
the
final
plan
for
upper
harbor
terminal.
We
needed
to
extend
that
so
we
it's
now
extended
through
2024.
M
pioneers
and
soldiers,
bonding
project
which
was
awarded
to
the
city
in
the
2017
bonding
bill.
We
narrowed
the
scope
due
to
the
cost
of
steel.
In
the
last
year.
We
did
not
have
enough
funds
to
do
the
project
that
we
proposed
in
2017.,
the
norway
house
bonds
were
extended
through
2026,
while
that
is
a
non-profit.
The
cities
does
serve
as
the
fiscal
agent
and,
as
director
moore
also
mentioned,
there
was
24
million
in
capital
grants
through
the
jobs
bill.
M
Next
slide,
please
all
right
the
jobs
and
economic
development
bill.
Our
team
worked
really
closely
and
hard
on
going
getting
funds
to
assist
businesses
and
property
owners
that
faced
damage
during
the
unrest
events
of
last
summer,
so
that
effort
would
be
reflected
in
in
the
jobs
and
economic
development
bill,
which
is
session
law
chapter
10..
The
total
budget
of
the
bill
is
1.6
billion
for
state
agencies
of
deed,
the
department
of
economic.
M
The
maximum
grant
is
750
000
and
the
loan
is
2
million,
and
projects
have
to
have
two
third
matching
funds
to
qualify
for
this
program,
so
deed
will
be
launching
this
rfp
august
3rd,
not
for
the
projects
per
se,
but
for
eligible
recipients
of
the
funds
to
do
the
loans
deed
will
not
be
doing
the
loans
themselves,
but
they'll
be
relying
on
cdfi's
community
development
corporations
and
foundations
to
then
get
the
money
and
then
grant
it
out
to
specific
projects.
M
This
is
something
that
cped
is
tracking
very
closely,
as
a
lot
of
this
is
where
the
rebuilding
efforts
for
state
funds
were
rebuilding
ended
up.
The
bill
also
includes
70
million
for
the
covid
relief
grant
program,
similar
to
the
program
that
deed
ran
in
december
of
last
year.
M
Businesses
that
have
under
200
full-time
workers
will
be
given
priority
to
receive
grants
up
to
25
000
if
they
have
yet
to
receive
assistance
from
other
levels
of
government.
The
bill
also
includes
35
million
in
funds
to
businesses
surrounding
organizations
in
the
metro.
So
that's
a
lot
of
technical
assistant
dollars
for
our
nonprofit
partners.
M
8.1
million
for
the
minnesota
youth
program,
which
cped
and
other
step
up
benefit
from
7.2
million
for
the
pathways
to
prosperity,
grant
program
something
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
received
funds
for
in
recent
years
and
5
million
to
increase
child
care
provider
capacities.
M
And
this
is
the
last.
This
is
the
last
one,
so
transportation,
the
total
budget
was
7.27
billion,
and
this
is
a
budget
for
mndot
department
of
public
safety
as
they
run,
division
of
vehicle
services
and
then
metro
transit.
This
is
a
220.4
million
dollar
increase
over
the
base
budget,
so
transportation
has
had
a
significant
change
in
funding
since
2008
with
the
increase
of
the
gas
tax.
M
M
Slide,
please
all
right.
So,
as
director
moore
also
mentioned
september,
there's
anticipated
to
be
a
special
session
to
include
work
around
pandemic
pay
for
frontline
workers
using
american
rescue
plan
dollars
and
there's
also
possibly
a
bonding
bill,
but
we
never
know
until
it's
done
when
it
comes
to
bonding
and
the
2022
regular
session.
Looking
ahead,
the
2022
special
session
is
a
is
a
policy
year,
so
it
will
be
hard
to
get
new
money
for
anything.
That
being
said,
there's
still
a
lot
of
decisions
around
american
rescue
plan
dollars.
M
It
is
also
a
bonding
year,
so
the
city
we
are
leading
the
work
to
finalize
the
city's
bonding
priorities
for
the
2022
session
and
then
regular
session
begins
january,
31st
2022.
So
this
concludes
our
update
presentation
and
we
are
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
or
comments.
B
Great,
I
think
our
igr
chair
would
like
to
go
last,
so
I'm
gonna
skip
down
to
council
member
gordon.
J
Yeah
thanks
very
much
for
all
this
information.
I
have
a
tiny
question
and
then
a
comment:
will
you
mention
transportation
and
I
was
wondering:
is
there
any
discussions
about
the
train
to
duluth
going
on
so
chicago
got
some
money
for
the
second
line,
anything
new
there.
M
Chair
allison,
council
member
gordon
a
lot
of
discussion,
but
not
a
lot
of
action.
A
lot
of
discussion
in
the
house.
This
is
representative,
mary
murphy,
who's.
One
of
the
longest
serving
legislators
in
the
state
of
minnesota
is
pushing
this
heart
and
she
is.
It
will
mostly
be
another
requested
again
in
the
2022
bonding
bill.
There
was
three
million
dollars:
three
million
dollars
in
the
2020
bonding
bill.
To
I'm
sorry,
my
puppy
acquire
some
land
that
would
be
necessary
for
the
project
to
move
forward.
J
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work.
I
think
that
maybe
remember
to
get
information
out
to
us
about
how
we
can
help
influence
the
next
round
of
what
we
want
in
2022.
J
I
think
council
members
typically
appreciate-
and
I
can
certainly
I
iger
chair-
can
help
us
maybe
see
and
understand
how
we
can
get
better
involved
and
coordinated,
going
forward
to
influence
that
agenda.
I
think
you
all
have
done
just
a
fantastic
job,
communicating
the
work
but
also
being
there
and
advocating
for
us
and
also
dealing
with
us
throughout
the
session,
as
we
have
this
idea,
and
this
idea,
let's
make
this
change,
and
how
can
we
get
that
in?
Does
it
go
on
our
agenda?
Can
we
pass
a
resolution?
J
What
can
we
do
and
we
we
all
recognize,
I
think
the
importance
of
influencing
and
working
with
other
layers
and
levels
of
government,
and
so
your
help
and
assistance
in
finding
the
path
forward
for
us
to
best
do
that
is
greatly
appreciated.
So
thank
you
so
much.
B
I
agree
with
that
all
right,
councilmember
johnson,
happy
to
call
on
you,
but
one
did
you
want
to
go
before
after
jenkins.
A
Please
go
ahead
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
just
really
want
to
say
thank
you
first
to
the
team
for
this
very
extensive
presentation
and
I
really
need
to
sing
the
praises
of
our
intergovernmental
relations
team
director,
moore
allison,
lauren,
steve
the
whole
rest
of
the
team.
A
With
these
special
sessions
it
was
extremely
difficult,
and
even
some
of
the
things
that
we
might
take
for
granted
of
being
able
to
catch
legislators
in
the
halls
over
at
the
offices
of
the
state
just
was
not
the
same,
and
it
was
much
much
more
much
more
difficult
for
our
team
and
it
was
also
coordinating
with
so
many
other
partners
as
well,
not
just
all
the
city
departments
and
technical
experts
across
our
enterprise,
but
the
national
league
of
cities,
the
league
of
minnesota
cities,
metro
cities,
our
county
and
the
surrounding
cities.
A
The
aid
alone
from
the
arpa
that
was
secured,
proved
critical
to
the
financial
well-being
of
our
city,
enabled
us
to
really
step
up
and
help
our
community
even
more
at
a
time
when
it
was
so
needed,
and
these
results,
though,
go
as
you've
seen
way
beyond
the
arpa,
which
includes
rebuilding
from
civil
unrest,
affordable
housing
and
homelessness.
Transit
workers
supports
the
economy,
so
many
different
things
and
this
work
is
highly
technical.
A
It's
highly
detailed
and
I
think
just
the
success
that
we've
seen
coming
out
of
this
special
session
and
even
all
the
details
in
this
presentation
really
speaks
to
this
team's
competence
and
strengths
and
performance
they've
done
an
outstanding
job,
we're
so
grateful
for
the
critical
role
that
they
play
in
in
our
city's
operations
and
really
benefiting
the
people
of
minneapolis,
so
I
just
want
to
commend
them
for
their
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
and
really
appreciate
the
presentation.
B
Thank
you
councilmember
johnson
wholeheartedly
agree.
We
have
council
vice
president
jenkins.
F
You
councilmember
ellison,
and
I
was
trying
to
go
before
councilmember
johnson
because
he
stole
all
of
my
talking
points.
No
I'm
I
yeah
17
straight
months
of
session
and
it's
just
incredible
and
and
the
increased
activity
at
the
federal
level,
which
has
been
pretty
unprecedented
in
recent
years
as
well,
yeah
everything
that
that
council
member
johnson
said
and
and
more
kudos.
F
I'm
just
curious,
though
miss
nessie,
if
you
can
speak,
has
d
issued
guidance
or
guidelines
for
the
the
I
guess:
cash
appropriations
for
for
nonprofits
for
gaap
financing
for
commercial.
I'm
sorry
for
capital
projects
for
nonprofits.
M
Sure
ellison
council
vice
president
jenkins.
They
have
not
yet
they
are
starting
with
the
main
street
revitalization
program.
So
for
private
development,
which
they'll
release
august
3rd,
then
they'll
move
on
to
the
the
cash
grants.
If
you
will
for
nonprofits,
indeed
has
historically
not
been
real,
doesn't
do
a
lot
of
bonding
per
se,
so
they're
they're.
M
They
want
to
make
sure
that
they
roll
out
a
program
that
works
and
that
they
can
manage
as
well.
But
we
will
be
sure
to
flag
that
for
and
send
it
out
to
all
council
member
offices
when
we
are
made
aware
that
that
will
be
released
so
that
you
can
get
it
out
to
your
constituents.
M
F
You
so
much
just
I
guess
one
follow-up
then
would
be.
It
is
going
to
be
like
a
application
process,
though
most
likely
right.
M
Yes,
yes,
it
will
so
it
will.
You
know
it.
It
will
be
very
similar.
I
believe
my
understanding
thus
far.
It
will
be
very
similar
to
the
state's
you
know:
capital
investment
process
existing
the
just
the
fund
source
is
different,
so
it
doesn't
if
it
goes
to
a
nonprofit.
The
city
does
not
need
to
be
the
fiscal
agent
owner
of
the
property,
since
it's
a
cash
grant,
but
the
vetting
and
the
requirements
around
the
building
and
will
be
similar
to
to
the
existing
bonding
application
process.
F
Thank
you
so
much
and
again
I
really
want
to
just
really
echo
everything
that
councilmember
johnson
shared
about
the
the
really
herculean
efforts
you
guys
put
forward
this
past
year
and
the
the
quality
and
and
and
patience
I
mean
we
had
some
pretty
contentious
conversations
with
our
state
legislators
and
you
guys
are
able
to
help
us
negotiate
and
manage
those
conversations
which
in
in
many
ways,
I
think,
goes
over
and
beyond
what
you
are
responsible
to
do,
but
but
it
it
got
us
to
a
really
good
place,
and
I
think
some
really
helpful
legislation
that
has
been
put
forth
this
year.
F
B
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
I
think
that
is
all
that
we
have,
and
I
just
echo
all
of
the
the
thanks
and
gratitude
for
my
colleagues.
Thank
you
all
for
this
presentation
and
for
all
of
your
incredible
incredible
work.
B
Seeing
no
further
discussion
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
file
that
report
all
right.
Next,
we
will
receive
