Audio and video froze from 21:43 to 29:23. Meeting in its entirety, https://youtu.be/LpA364Mblqw
B
Good
morning
my
name
is
mark
ruff
and
I
am
the
city
coordinator
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I
want
to
welcome
everyone
to
this
planned
briefing
this
morning
on
a
topic
of
significant
public
interest,
interest
to
our
policy
makers,
our
businesses,
our
community
partners
and
stakeholders,
and
especially
all
of
our
residents.
B
We
have
reserved
up
to
90
minutes
for
today's
briefing,
which
will
include
several
specific
presentations
from
key
city
departments
and
will
conclude
with
the
time
for
questions
from
our
council
members.
So
I
would
ask
that
our
council
hold
on
questions
until
the
presentations
are
completed
before
we
get
started.
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
briefing
includes
the
remote
participation
by
council,
members
and
city
staff
has
authorized
under
the
provisions
of
minnesota,
open
meeting
law,
section
13d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
B
B
The
agenda
and
the
slideshow
are
already
posted
for
public
access
at
the
city's
legislative
information
system
accessible
at
limbs,
lims
minneapolismn.gov
with
those
preliminaries
out
of
the
way
I'd
ask
that
our
city
clerk
note
council
members
in
attention
in
attendance
just
for
public
awareness.
This
is
not
a
regular
or
special
meeting
of
the
city
council,
nor
of
any
of
its
committees,
and
we
are
not
tracking
attendance.
Nor
do
we
anticipate
any
formal
actions.
B
B
C
Thank
you,
mr
ruff.

B
D
D
I
also
want
to
just
say
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
feedback
that
I've
personally
received
from
community
members
as
it
relates
to
their
thoughts,
their
views,
their
their
concerns
and
even
some
solutions
that
they
have
raised
in
terms
of
how
we
continue
to
move
our
city
forward,
not
only
just
in
terms
of
this
trial,
but
as
we
move
it
forward
into
2021.
So
I
want
to
continue
to
say
thank
you
for
the
great
city
and
our
community
members
that
have
taken
on
that.
D
And
secondarily
it's
about
prevention,
preventing
to
make
sure
that
our
neighborhood
stays
safe.
Our
business
community
stays
safe
and
we
we
cannot
allow
for
destruction
of
property
and
and
damage
to
property
or
fires
and
looting,
and
so
those
have
been
kind
of
the
core
anchors
to
operation
the
safety
net
in
the
planning
next
slide.
D
Council
members,
the
other
thing
that
we've
been
able
to
do,
which
has
been
an
advantage,
is
we've
had
time
and
communication.
We've
had
time
to
plan
for
this.
Since
last
july,
the
structure
of
operation
safety
net
is
built
around
a
unified
command
structure.
So
what
does
that
mean?
Well,
the
trial
itself
will
take
place
in
the
heart
of
the
hampton
county
government
center
and,
and
so
the
focus
will
be
certainly
in
minneapolis.
D
We've
had
a
chance
to
plan
for
operation
safety
net
since
july
of
last
year,
and
I
can't
tell
you
how
much
of
that
timing
has
been
very
critical
and
crucial
to
having
a
plan
that
I
feel
very
confident
in
that.
Timing
has
also
allowed
us
to
again
do
a
lot
of
outward
facing
communication
that
you'll
also
hear
from
other
city
enterprise
partners
as
we
move
forward.
D
Those
are
just
some
of
the
agencies
that
have
been
mentioned.
Obviously,
the
minneapolis
police
department
sheriff
hutch
and
his
team
at
the
hennepin
county
sheriff's
office
through
general
mankind,
the
national
guard
state
patrol
under
colonel
langer
metro,
transit
police
department
under
chief
fresell,
and
with
the
coordination
efforts
of
commissioner
harrington
from
dps
and
homeland
security
emergency
management.
D
While
certainly
there
is
a
focus
here
in
in
minneapolis.
We
also
have
assets
and
resources
across
the
river
in
east,
st
paul,
with
an
east
metro
agency
coordination.
Team
that'll
really
be
anchored
by
chief
axel
of
the
saint
paul
police
department
and
sheriff
fletcher
from
ramsey
county
sheriffs
and
now
council
members,
I'd
like
to
have
commander
gerwicker
kind
of
walk
through
the
operational
planning
and
phases
of
operation
safety.
Then
thank
you.
E
D
E
And
if
I
can
thank
you
for
advancing
the
slide
yeah,
it's
my
privilege
to
be
here
to
speak
with
everyone
this
morning.
My
name
is
scott
girlicon,
I'm
a
commander
with
the
mpd,
and
we
wanted
to
just
talk
about
the
operation
itself
and
and
we've
really
taken
a
look
in
the
planning
for
this
operation
in
really
four
components:
phase
one
being
what's
happening
right
now,
and
that's
everything
leading
up
to
the
beginning
of
the
jury
selection,
which
is
scheduled
to
begin
one
week
from
today
and
that
kicks
off
phase
two.
E
E
The
case
goes
to
closing
arguments
so
that
all
of
our
resources
are
out
deployed
prior
to
any
verdict
coming
out
from
the
jury
on
this
case,
and
that's
phase
three
at
this
present
time
it's
difficult
to
ascertain,
but
we
believe
that
to
be
mid
to
late
april,
depending
on
the
cadence
of
the
trial
itself,
and
then
we
will
be
in
place
and
ready
to
prevent
and
restore
any
any
issues
until
we
are
no
longer
needed.
That
could
be
a
period
of
a
very
short
time
or,
however
long
that
needs
to
be.
E
E
If
you
think
about
what
happened
last
may
and
june,
we
took
a
look
at
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
had
and
our
prevention
resources
are
really
trying
to
address
most
of
those
particular
issues.
Let
me
first
talk
about
our
property
protection
detail
and
that's
being
out
visible,
protecting
those
key
business
corridors
throughout
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
by
that
we
do
mean
all
areas
of
the
state
of
minneapolis.
We
took
a
very
close
look
at
the
problems
we
had
last
time
areas
of
the
city
that
were
significantly
damaged
or
destroyed.
E
Our
goal
is
to
be
out
there
and
present
before
anything
would
happen,
and
by
that
we
mean
having
law
enforcement
officers
both
from
minneapolis,
as
well
as
some
of
our
mutual
aid
partners,
along
with
the
minnesota
national
guard
out,
invisible
interacting
with
folks
in
those
communities
just
being
present
to
prevent
any
type
of
looting
fires,
anything
that
we
saw
again
last
time
around.
We
have
significant
resources
dedicated
to
this
of
the
almost
2000
national
guard
that
we
will
be
using
for
operation
safety
net.
E
Two-Thirds
of
those
soldiers
will
be
dedicated
and
assigned
to
this
particular
property
protection.
Detail
next
is
our
critical
infrastructure
protection
detail.
I'm
sure
everybody
has
seen
some
of
the
fencing
and
barricades
that
have
gone
up
to
protect
our
government
campus
area
downtown
minneapolis.
E
Similarly,
our
ems
crews
had
difficulty
responding
for
emergency
calls
for
service
and
some
of
those
high
risk
areas.
So
we
have
teams
of
national
guard
soldiers
as
well
as
law
enforcement
officers
who
will
accompany
our
fire
crews,
along
with
our
ems
crews
out,
so
they
can
quickly
and
safely
respond
to
any
type
of
emergency
call
or
fire
anywhere
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
then
our
police
precinct
security
details
just
like
with
our
critical
infrastructure,
where
you're
starting
to
see
and
have
seen
fortifications
going
up.
E
We
will
do
it
be
doing
similar
temporary
fortifications,
consisting
of
cement
barriers
and
fencing
at
each
of
our
five
police
precincts
with
the
goal
being
to
protect
those
precincts
and
to
protect
the
officers
who
will
be
coming
and
going
from
those
areas.
All
of
our
five
police
precincts
will
be
fully
operational
during
this
period
of
time,
and
these
are
teams
of
dedicated
soldiers
as
well
as
police
officers.
E
Above
and
beyond
those
precinct
security
officers
who
will
be
out
answering
buildings
is,
and
then
a
group
we're
calling
tactical
traffic
control,
which
is
going
to
consist
of
both
national
guard
soldiers
and
minnesota
state
patrol
officers
who
will
be
out
in
areas
where
there's
crowds
in
the
streets,
pedestrians,
police
officers.
We
saw
some
very
dangerous
situations
last
may
june,
especially
at
night,
where
we
had
vehicles
with
blacked
out
headlights
driving
extremely
fast
within
inches
of
pedestrians
out
on
marches
and
protests
along
with
police
officers.
E
The
job
of
our
tactical
traffic
control
group
is
to
set
up
a
cordon.
If
you
will
around
those
particular
demonstrations
that
may
be
taking
place
on
our
streets
to
try
to
prevent
vehicles
from
entering
into
an
area
that
could
compromise
public
safety,
so
those
really
sum
up
our
prevention
resources.
As
I
mentioned
most
of
these
prevention
resources
really
won't
take
effect
until
phase
three,
which
again
is
the
closing
argument
stage
of
the
trial.
So
we
have
some
time,
but
these
are
very,
very
important
to
our
operational
success,
these
prevention
resources.
E
E
We
will
all
be
sharing
those
resources
together
and
making
command
decisions
about
public
safety
issues.
Having
said
that,
the
responsibility
for
all
operations
and
command
and
control
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
rests
largely
with
chief
aaron
donahoe
in
the
minneapolis
police
department.
All
the
other
agencies
there
will
be
supporting
us
and
we
will
be
mutually
supporting
them.
We're
very
used
to
operating
in
this
unified
command
structure,
and
this
is
really
no
change
from
the
way
that
we've
operated
for
other
major
events
that
we've
had,
such
as
the
super
bowl
next
slide.
Please.
E
In
addition,
we
have
mutual
aid
assistance
that
I'm
sure
you've
heard
about
and
we
are
entering
into
some
mutual
aid
agreements
with
some
other
agencies
other
than
those
that
you
saw
on
the
previous
screen.
These
are
law
enforcement
officers
from
the
metro
area
and
across
the
state
of
minnesota,
who'll
be
working
with
us
via
mutual
aid,
they'll
be
helping
us
out
primarily
in
some
of
those
prevention
resources.
E
This
helps
us
because
that
also
frees
up
our
minneapolis
police
officers,
to
make
sure
that
we
still
maintain
capability
to
investigate
crimes.
Answer
9-1-1
calls
and
utilizing
our
own
mpd
resources
and
that
of
our
partners
to
help
manage
any
crowds
or
civil
civil
disturbances
that
could
be
taking
place
next
slide
please
and
then
keeping
people
safe
and
protecting
property.
This
is
what
it's
really
about.
You
kind
of
see
two
columns
here,
they're,
not
in
any
particular
order
of
importance,
but
each
column
is
very
important
on
the
left.
E
You
see
the
types
of
activities
that
we
encourage
and
that's
almost
peaceful.
First
amendment
rights
gathering
in
public
areas,
peaceful
peaceful
assemblies
on
street
corners
and
in
the
streets
marching
other
than
on
a
freeway.
Those
are
all
those
sorts
of
things
we
want
to
make
sure
the
public
is
aware.
We
have
no
intention
on
taking
any
type
of
enforcement
action
or
in
any
way
preventing
these
activities
that
are
encouraged.
E
What
we
really
are
here
for
is
to
try
to
protect
people
and
keep
people
safe
by
taking
enforcement
action
and
really
trying
to
prevent
those
lawful
activities
that
we
saw,
unfortunately,
so
much
of
last
may
in
june,
setting
fires
damaging
property
assault
of
our
riotous
actions
towards
anybody
and
illegal
weapons
throwing
objects.
These
are
all
things
that
we
just
cannot
tolerate
and
that
we
that
our
operation
is
designed
to
address.
So
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
we're
really.
E
F
Thank
you,
commander,
garlicker.
Thank
you,
city
coordinator
and
distinguished
members
of
the
council.
The
fire
department's
response
to
for
any
type
of
civil
disobedience
and
our
preparations
for
the
derek
shoving
trial
revolve
around
the
plan
to
have
a
task
force
response,
should
any
civil
disturbance
break
out
a
task
force.
Let
me
first
explain
is
a
pre-assembled
response
unit,
which
includes
two
fire
engines,
one
ladder
truck
one
battalion
chief
or
task
force
leader
and
the
security
component
to
assist
the
group
with
getting
into
and
out
of
scenes
safely.
F
The
security
component
has
either
members
of
law
enforcement
and
or
the
national
guard
and
commander
garlicker
did
talk
about
that
for
a
little
bit.
For
this
event,
it
will
be
the
national
guard.
The
strategy
behind
the
task
force
response
is
to
respond
from
a
staging
location
as
a
single
unit.
All
those
rigs
together
as
a
single
unit
affect
a
quick
extinguishment
of
the
fire
and
leave
the
scene.
All
together,
everybody
gets
in
safely
together.
Everyone
leaves
safely
together
next
slide.
Please
we
do
have
a
staffing
plan.
F
G
It
can
really
run
the
gamut
information
gathering
will,
of
course,
be
listening
to
community
listening
to
social
media
working
directly
with
incident
command,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
aware
of
concerns
aware
of
new
updates
and
information
that
must
be
shared,
and
then
we
have
a
very
robust
community
relations
section
of
the
joint
information
system.
In
that
section
we
will
be
working
through
three
big
facets
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
G
G
G
We
will
also
be
providing
twice
a
week
updates
through
our
public
newsletter,
which
goes
out
every
wednesday
and
friday,
so
additional
information
will
go
out
through
that
external
channel
city,
social
media.
We
have
robust
followings
on
facebook
on
twitter
next
door
instagram,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
we
are
pushing
out
information
through
through
those
channels
multiple
times
a
day.
Throughout
the
period
we
have
cultural,
radio
programs
that
have
been
ongoing
for
three
or
four
years.
G
At
this
stage,
the
programs
are
an
opportunity
really
to
share
information
about
city
resources,
programs
and
information,
such
as
calling
9-1-1
parking
information
during
snow
emergencies,
understanding
the
role
of
city
inspectors
and
learning
about
business
opportunities.
Radio
program
listeners
are
able
to
call
into
those
programs.
So
again
it's
it's
a
two-way
communication
channel.
G
We
have
a
new
website
section,
going
live
this
friday
march
5th
that
will
provide
links
to
operation
safety
net
to
the
hennepin
county
district
court's
information
that
will
provide
city
resources
and
information
that
will
also
provide
links
to
the
city's
social
media
channels
and
public
newsletters.
So
so
people
can
sign
up
for
those
additional
channels
to
make
sure
that
they're
receiving
information
daily.
G
We
have
an
internal
employee
faq
that
will
go,
live
on
our
in
intranet
city,
talk
also
on
friday
march
5th
and
that's
a
resource
for
our
internal
staff.
It's
important
that
the
city
workforce
is
coordinated
and
well
informed
so
that
we
are
delivering
consistent
messaging
and
then
again
with
the
joint
information
system.
G
G
There
are
a
few
key
ways
that
we
want
our
residents
and
businesses
and
visitors
to
contact
the
city.
The
first
is
to
call
9-1-1.
We
want
to
reserve
the
9-1-1
phone
line
for
life
safety
emergencies.
These
are
emergencies
requiring
immediate
response
from
police
from
fire
or
ems,
and
so
we're
asking
the
public
to
please
call
9-1-1
as
you
would
when
it
is
an
immediate
emergency.
G
This
line
is
reserved
to
report
suspicious
activity.
That
is
not
requiring
immediate
response.
Last
summer,
what
we
saw
was
people
did
not
know
who
they
should
call
or
what
numbers
they
should
call,
and
it
was
a
fast-moving,
very
dynamic
situation,
lots
of
concerns,
of
course,
in
community
and
neighborhoods.
G
We
are
going
to
do
a
better
job
of
communicating
who
you
should
call
for
what
and
making
sure
that
these
resources
will
also
be
online.
But
we
want
to
make
sure
that
if
it
is
a
car
driving
really
fast
through
your
neighborhood
with
unmarked
license
plates-
or
you
see
something
suspicious
in
your
alley-
that
you
are
not
calling
9-1-1.
But
you
are
calling
the
mpd
tips
line
to
report
that
information,
business
and
property
owners
that
have
questions
regarding
advance
preparation
before
the
trial.
G
Business
operations
during
the
trial
and
general
information
regarding
regulations
and
resources
should
call
the
small
business
team
at
612-673-2499
or
email,
small
business
at
minneapolismn.gov
and
finally,
our
for
non-emergency
city
information,
again
information
about
city
departments,
about
different
non-emergency
information.
Please
call
311
and
we
want
to
reserve
again
311
specifically
for
that
information,
so
that
our
call
center
agents
can
help
navigate
city
business
next
slide.
G
H
H
As
director
berkstrom
mentioned,
we
are
working.
The
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
is
actually
supporting
extensively
supporting
the
work
of
the
joint
information
system.
Many
of
the
channels
of
communication-
and
that
should
refer
to
our
department,
is
actually
working
to
augment
that
and
help
get
that
kind
of
information
out
we're
also
supporting
other
department
efforts
as
well,
such
as
the
health
department
and
the
office
of
violence
and
prevention.
H
But
what
I
wanted
to
do
this
morning
is
to
be
able
to
highlight
a
few
of
the
strategies
that
we're
we're
doing
that
are
led
directly
by
ncr.
Our
ultimate
goal
here
is
to
really
create
multiple
channels
to
share
timely
and
accurate
information
and
resources
with
the
community
and
really
build
in
two-way
communication
channels.
H
So
the
intent
here
as
director
bergstrom
mentioned,
is
to
get
information
out
to
the
community
in
a
timely,
accurate
way,
but
at
the
same
time
understand
what's
happening
in
the
community
in
real
time,
so
that
the
city
is
informed
and
just
really
working
with
our
community
partners.
In
order
to
be
able
to
achieve
that.
So
I
have
a
few
examples.
I'd
like
to
go
over
and
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
discussing
the
first
of
which
is
our
neighborhood
organizations.
H
The
civilian
city
of
minneapolis
currently
has
70
neighborhood
organizations
which
basically
cover
all
the
residential
areas
of
the
city.
We
know
that
our
neighborhood
organizations
have
trusted
relationships
with
the
residents
and
businesses
and
understand
meaningful
and
impactful
ways
of
sharing
information.
They've
been
doing
this
kind
of
work
for
years.
H
So
with
that,
we
want
to
be
able
to
support
our
neighborhood
organizations
in
a
meaningful
way
and
in
the
end,
with
the
upcoming
work
with
the
trial.
So
what
we
are
committed
to
do
is
to
continue
to
or
to
provide
info
neighborhoods
with
accurate
information,
trial
updates
and
city
preparedness
updates,
such
as
details
about
public
safety
and
traffic
plans
and
other
resources
as
needed.
So
in
order
to
do
that,
we're
going
to
actually
engage
three
different
strategies
with
our
neighborhood
organizations.
H
First
of
all,
we
are
going
to
be
holding
hosting
weekly
meetings
with
them.
These
meetings
have
already
been
set
up.
Neighborhoods
have
already
been
notified.
It's
a
strategy
that
we
have
found
to
be
very
effective.
It's
a
it's.
A
basically
provides
a
forum
for
neighborhood
organizations
to
be
able
to
share
what
they're
doing
and
what
kind
of
activities
they're
doing
on
the
local
level
with
each
other,
as
well
as
being
able
to
share
it
directly
with
the
city.
H
We're
also
that
gives
or
not
gives
us
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
share
information
directly
from
the
city
back
to
the
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
bring
in
any
subject
matter.
Experts
that
are
needed
in
order
to
help
facilitate
some
of
their
concerns,
as
well
as
for
us
to
be
informed
about
any
unmet
needs
that
they
might
have.
H
We'll
also
be
able
to
adjust
this
schedule,
or
this
cadence
of
meetings
to
increase
it
or
decrease
it.
Depending
on
the
situation
in
our
community
and
be
able
to
address
the
needs
to
a
large
degree
with
our
neighborhood
organizations,
they
have
extensive
contacts,
they
have
extensive
relationships
with
the
city
they
have
done
over
the
last
year.
Dealing
with
the
civil
unrest
and
covet
have
done
some
excellent
work.
They
know
their
communities.
H
We
will
rely
on
them
to
be
able
to
inform
us
about
what
is
happening
and
we
will
meet
with
them
in
in
the
ways
that
they
want
to
meet
and
provide
the
information
that
they
need
so
strong
focus
on
really
supporting
that
connection.
The
second
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
crime
prevention
specialist.
H
So
last
december
the
city
council
approved
moving
the
city's
crime
prevention
specialist
from
the
minneapolis
police
department
into
the
work
of
the
ncr
department.
Our
crime
prevention
specialists
also
have
extensive
relationships
with
community
businesses,
community-based
organizations,
our
neighborhoods,
really
with
the
focus
on
addressing
crime
and
safety
issues,
and
so,
although
this
work
is
still
in
transition
and
the
crime
prevention
specialists
are
still
moving
into
the
department,
we
will
be
incorporating
two
of
the
crime
prevention
specialists
directly
as
liaisons
with
the
joint
information
system.
So
there's
a
direct
connection
between
the
work.
H
The
intent
of
that
is
to
making
sure
that
the
information
and
the
communication
that
they're
getting
from
community
is
related
directly
back
to
the
city
and
that
we're
also
able
to
share
information
through
their
networks
back
to
the
community.
In
essence,
between
these
two
groups,
we
we
feel
we
have
large
reach
and
being
able
to
communicate
the
messages
from
the
city
and
also
informing
the
city
about
what's
happening
in
real
time
in
our
community.
H
H
So
the
messages
that
are
coming
out
from
the
joint
information
system,
we
will
be
able
to
translate
that
into
the
various
languages
really
trying
to
ensure
that
everybody
in
our
city
has
access
to
the
information
and
then
ongoing
support
from
ncr
staff.
In
addition
to
the
aforementioned
networks
that
we
have
our
city
staff,
our
ncr
staff
work
extensively
with
community
community-based
organizations,
neighborhood
organizations,
various
partners
that
are
out
there,
they
will
be
in
constant
contact
with
understanding.
H
What
is
what
our
community
needs
being
able
to
convey
city
information
out
to
the
community
that
way,
as
well
as
being
able
to
receive
information
back
about
what
are
the
needs?
What
are
the
issues
that
are
existing
across
our
city
and
be
able
to
include
that
back
into
the
joint
information
system?
To
address
that?
H
So
I
also
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
address
the
recommendation
to
use
the
social
media
influencers
as
part
of
the
joint
information
system
strategies,
what's
referred
to
here
as
the
cultural
community
partners,
our
social
media
partners.
So
ncr
made
this
recommendation
to
the
joint
information
system.
In
our
experience,
we
have
heard
repeatedly
that
many
residents
are
not
connected
to
the
city's
traditional
roots
of
sharing
information,
and
we
often
hear
from
residents
that
they
were
not
informed
the
significant
information
or
resources
that
are
available.
H
For
this
strategy
we
use
the
term
social
media
influencer,
which
in
retrospect
did
not
accurately
reflect
what
we
are
asking
of
our
partners
and
it
caused
confusion
in
the
community.
This
was
never
about
trying
to
persuade
or
change
public
opinion
about
any
particular
message,
but
more.
It
was
about
getting
important
information
out
quickly
and
in
in
an
equitable
way.
H
We
move
forward
with
this
recommendation
trying
to
seek
additional
ways
to
reach
all
of
our
city
residents.
We
also
have
heard
over
the
over
our
experience
that
communities
from
communities
that,
if
we
ask
them
to
help
the
city
and
doing
their
work,
we
should
honor
that
work
and
compensate
them
for
that
work.
H
While
I
believe
in
while
I
believe
in
the
believe
in
and
support
the
intention
of
this
recommendation,
we
have
seen
that
the
impact
has
caused
harm
in
our
communities,
and
for
that
I
am
sorry
we
will
work
to.
We
acknowledge
that
we
have
cause
of
harm
and
we
will
work
to
report
that
repair
the
harm
that
was
caused
by
this
strategy.
H
So
at
this
point
we
will
not
move
forward
with
the
strategy.
Ncr
will
continue
to
bring
forth
recommendations
to
the
joint
information
system,
with
the
intention
of
the
city
doing
better
to
reach
all
of
our
residents
in
ways
that
are
meaningful
for
them,
but
we
will
not
pursue
the
cultural,
social
media
partners.
B
Is
that
feedback
mechanism
to
improve
because
we
have
improved
over
the
last
year.
But
we
know
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for,
for
that
directness
and
the
honesty,
and
certainly
look
for
those
recommendations
from
community
and
from
our
elected
officials.
With
that.
I
would
like
to
ask
commissioner
gretchen
muzenkant,
who
is
the
head
of
our
health
department
and
for
those
not
familiar
with
the
health
department.
B
I
I
So
for
that
reason
it's
critical
that
we
as
a
city
are
working
with
community.
As
you
have
heard,
we
are
for
planning
and
activities
as
we
strive
to
keep
everybody
safe,
respond
to
needs
in
a
trauma-sensitive
manner,
support
community
efforts
and
collectively
work
towards
healing,
and
so
the
office
of
violence
prevention
and
the
health
department
have
been
directly
involved
in
that
work.
I
Our
engagement
is
working
towards
the
goal
of
establishing
geographically
focused
stakeholder
leadership
groups
with
the
purpose
of
coordinating
a
two-way
communication.
These
groups
are
intended
to
include
representation
from
cultural
communities,
the
business
community,
faith,
communities,
neighborhood
level
groups,
organizers
and
others,
and
the
focus
is
on
ongoing
stakeholder
engagement.
I
So
the
city
council
approved
funding
for
an
approach
that
we
will
be
initiating
this
week,
and
so
we
will
be
issuing
a
request
for
application
process
and
rfa
process
through
that
process.
Several
community
organizations
will
be
selected
for
the
city
to
enter
into
contracts
with
for
up
to
a
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
each.
I
I
I
A
priority
will
be
placed
on
funding
groups
that
are
culturally
responsive
groups
that
have
existing
credibility
and
reach
within
communities
and
groups
that
have
the
infrastructure
and
organization
in
place
to
take
on
this
effort.
A
comprehensive
process
that
incorporates
input
from
various
parts
of
the
city
enterprise
is
anticipated
in
the
selection
of
these
groups.
I
I
Additionally,
we
have
made
arrangements
to
have
porta-potties
and
hand
sanitizer
stations
additional
to
the
ones
that
are
there
added
at
38th
in
chicago
in
anticipation
of
community
gatherings
there
once
the
trial
begins,
and
we
have
also
arranged
our
covid19
response.
Looked
at
our
using
our
logistics
team
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
capacity
to
supply
masks
for
coveted
safety
during
community
gatherings,
and
we
certainly
do
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation-
and
I
certainly
will
be
here
for
questions
when
we
are
all
completed
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you,
city
coordinator,.

Mr
ruff,
good
morning,
my
name
is

economic
policy
and
development
in

department
of

Please
minneapolis
is
open
for
business
and
for
those
thinking
about
where
to
shop.
This
spring,
please
choose
local
first
either
due
to
the
pandemic,
the
unrest
for
both
businesses
have
faced
an
unprecedented
amount
of
challenge
over
the
past
13
months.
J
Trial
aside,
we
will
need
to
work
together
if
we
want
our
favorite
local
businesses
around
after
the
pandemic
and
must
make
our
local
purchases
at
those
businesses.
First,
with
the
impacts
of
last
year's
unrest
still
visible,
businesses
and
property
owners
have
asked
the
city
what
they
need
to
know
to
keep
their
businesses
open,
their
property
secure
and
their
workers
and
customers
safe
address
addressing
this
request
starts
with
with
all
of
us
gathered
here
today.
J
Our
cped
team
has
cooperatively
worked
with
the
other
entities
in
this
briefing
to
review
what
went
well
and
didn't
go
so
well
in
last
year's
unrest.
These
learnings
include
a
reviews
to
our
communication
approach,
resource
allocation
and
response
coordination.
In
many
cases.
The
lessons
we
learned
from
2020
provided
an
oper
provided
opportunities
for
improvements,
but
it
still
had
a
few
strong
points.
J
J
We
are
learning
from
their
questions,
what
is
important
to
them
and
how
we
can
be
more
effective
if
unrest
occurs
again
this
year,
community
leaders
have
expressed
anxiety
over
the
uncertainty
of
the
coming
months,
especially
as
many
businesses
disrupted
in
last
year's
unrest
have
only
recently
reopened.
Community
leaders.
J
Community
leaders
want
to
be
more
involved
with
the
development
of
strategies,
advise
on
any
tactics
and
have
active
roles
in
any
response
through
improved
communication
channels
through
a
partnership
with
these
community-based
organizations.
We
are
developing
a
set
of
frequently
asked
questions
as
a
repository
for
information
for
business
for
the
business
community,
this
will
be
a
living
document
with
updates
coming
as
needed.
We
plan
to
share
this
information
contained
contained
in
it
repeatedly
in
an
effort
to
reach
as
many
people
as
we
can.
J
The
first
version
of
this
faq
will
be
on
the
city's
website
when
we
see
the
updates
that
director
bergstrom
announced
earlier,
and
we
will
proactively
push
this
information
through
the
city's
many
e-newsletters
this
week
next
slide,
please,
the
faq
will
include
our
initial
advice
to
businesses
and
property
owners
who
may
choose
to
take
additional
actions
in
preparation
for
the
trial
period,
our
first
recommendation
and
what
we
think
is
advice
for
all
businesses.
Regardless
of
this
year's
circumstances,
is
to
have
a
plan.
J
Businesses
might
want
to
consider
adding
physical
security
mentors
such
as
boarding
or
permanent
security
gates,
while
the
city
is
not
recommending
these
security
measures
for
all
property
owners,
businesses
and
property
owners
may
choose
to
board
their
buildings
during
the
period
of
the
trial.
Boarding
is
not
required,
but
can
be
an
inexpensive
way
to
prevent
potential
damage.
The
city
also
now
allows
for
permanent
retractable
security
doors.
If
business
choose
that
route,
permanent
doors
require
a
permit
for
those
interested
in
a
permanent
door.
Please
call
3-1-1
to
start
that
process.
J
J
Please
consider
uploading
electronic
copies
of
these
important
documents
and
records
that
might
be
in
your
business
to
an
online
cloud
service
such
as
drop,
dropbox
or
google
drive
and
consider
bringing
physical
copies
to
an
off-site
location.
Additionally,
we
recommend
businesses
continue
to
build
connections
with
their
neighbors
and
local
community-based
organizations.
Like
a
local
business
association,
it
is
important
to
to
share
contact
information
and
collect
that
information
from
your
neighbors
think
about
having
that
information
in
writing
or
in
a
cloud-based
format
too.
J
J
Those
who
want
additional
security
personnel
and
choose
to
go
with
security
companies,
please
fully
protect
yourself
and
property
by
only
hire
licensed
security
personnel.
These
are
people
who
will
have
their
own
insurance
and
have
the
training
you'll
need
again.
The
city
is
committed
to
working
with
this
with
business
and
property
owners
to
continue
their
operations
as
normal
as
possible.
Through
this
uncertain
time,

A
A
Go
ahead,
thank
you
thanks
commander,
so
you
mentioned
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
property
protection
detail,
so
I
just
wanted
to
see.
You'll
have
a
couple
questions
on
that.
How
does
a
business
some
of
these
businesses
have
been
hit
by
crime
a
number
of
times
in
the
last
year?
How
do
they
know
that
they
are
on
the
property
protection
detail.
E
E
We
will
have
police
officers
or
soldiers
24
hours
a
day
at
a
specific
location
at
presently,
but
we
will
do
whatever
we
can
to
make
sure
at
least
those
business
corridors
and
areas
that
we're
talking
about
receive
additional
information
as
we
get
closer,
so
they
have
some
expectation
of
what
to
expect
in
their
particular
areas
and
again
we're
talking
business
corridors,
we're
not
talking
residential
areas.
These
are
all
commercial
corridors
throughout
the
state
of
minneapolis.
A
Thank
you.
I
that's
that's
helpful.
I
think
it's
also.
My
question
was
more
a
matter
just
to
make
sure
that
some
of
the
business
corridors,
especially
in
my
ward,
are
are
on
that
list.
While
we
are
much
further
from
downtown
from
where
the
trial
will
take
place,
we're
you
know
only
10
blocks
or
actually
eight
blocks
from
george
floyd
square.
A
So
I
know
that
my
business
owners
want
to
know
just
to
make
sure
that
they're
on
the
list
we're
not
there.
I
don't
know
that
we
understand
that
you
have
to
have
be
very
flexible
in
your
plan,
but
I
think
just
making
sure
that
when
you're
doing
those
patrols
or
being
are
ready,
they
want
to
know
so.
Is
there
some
way
we
can
make
sure
that
a
couple
of
those
nodes
are
are
on
that
list.
I
understand,
I
don't
want
to
release
it
publicly,
but
is
there
some
way?
I
could
make
sure.
E
E
G
You
know
just
at
a
high
level.
Obviously
the
joint
information
system
is
going
to
be
working
hand
in
hand
across
the
city,
with
the
county
on
trial
operations
and
with
operation
safety
net.
On
incident
information
provided
by
law
enforcement,
it
will
be
a
fluid
situation
and
we
will
continue
to
share
information
internally
and
then,
of
course,
push
that
verified
accurate
information
back
out
through
various
channels
across
the
joint
information
system.
I'm
not
sure
if
that
answers
the
question
or
additional
information.
A
Yeah,
it
does
not
answer
the
question.
Last
last
year,
members
of
the
media
were
blinded
by
you
know
non-lethal
projectiles
from
the
minneapolis
police
department
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
is,
if
we're,
seeing
a
situation
like
that,
what
procedures
have
been
put
in
place?
How
have
you
talked
with
the
media
to
make
sure
that
that
nothing
close
to
this
happens
again.
D
Councilmember
schrader
chief
eridando
here
so
one
of
the
conversations
that
we
are
doing
and
we'll
continue
to
do
is
is
having
conversations
with
our
local
and
some
of
our
national
media
and
probably
even
that
international
media.
That
plans
to
be
in
town
media
credentialing
is
a
big
piece
that
we
learned
from
last
year
and
and
making
sure
that
we
can
readily
identify
those
folks
who
are
who
are
going
to
be
covering
the
trial
and
maybe
out
there
in
demonstrations.
D
Whether
law
enforcement
will
go
in
and
get
citations
make
arrests
or
the
the
the
possible
use
if
if
crimes
are
occurring
and
there's
a
need
for
gas
munitions,
so
all
of
that
information
and
really
trying
to
communicate
that
to
our
local
national
international
media
will
be
very
important.
The
credentialing
piece
was
a
big
one,
and
I
know
that
there's
already
been
some
conversations
with
some
of
our
local
news.
K
Thanks,
mr
ruff,
I
see
a
lot
of
council
members
in
queue
and
I
know
there'll
be
a
lot
of
specific
questions.
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
step
back
and
and
just
offer
some
reflections
that
mirror
a
lot
of
the
comments
and
questions
that
I
make
privately.
When
we've
been
talking
about
these
preparations
for
the
last
many
months.
You
know
I
appreciate-
and
I
see-
and
I
want
to
note
that
we
have
seen
a
bit
of
a
shift
in
today's
presentation.
K
K
You
know
the
the
response
to
his
death
has
has
echoed
around
the
world
and
I
just
still
don't
think
that
the
city
is
really
stepping
up
to
meet
the
moment
and
even
in
the
basic
acknowledgement
of
that.
As
the
starting
point
for
everything
that
happened
last
summer,
because
after
his
death
law
enforcement
escalated,
they
shot
non-lethal
rounds
at
members
of
our
community
and
the
media.
We
saw
videos
of
people
being,
you
know,
shot
with
chemical
irritants
out
of
the
carve
driving
vehicles.
K
I
had
constituents
who
were
on
their
own
porches,
who
were
being
shot
at
with
non-lethal
rounds
during
curfew
and
that
exacerbated
so
dramatically
the
trauma
and
pain
of
our
community
and
led
to
more
protest
and
more
of
the
you
know.
Enormous
outcry
that
that
created
the
conditions
for
folks
in
our
community
who
wanted
to
come
from
outside
created
the
conditions
for
folks
to
come
from
outside
our
community
to
cause
more
harm.
K
And
I
just
don't
think
that,
until
unless
every
single
city
leader
in
our
community
acknowledges
that
fundamental
beginning
point
and
how
much
it
is
related
to
the
trauma
of
all
of
the
other
racial
disparities
that
our
community
sees
all
of
the
other
inequities
that
people
have
been
experiencing
for
for
so
long
and
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic
and
the
economic
crisis.
That
is
part
of
the
outcry
from
our
public.
K
The
work
to
create
a
different
system
of
safety
as
childish
or
silly
that
too
many
city
leaders
think
that
the
most
grown-up
response
to
a
problem
is
always
with
force
and
always
to
begin
by
sending
people
with
guns.
And
I
just
don't
agree,
I
don't
think
that
we
can
police
our
way
out
of
police
violence.
K
So
again,
I'm
heartened
to
hear
some
of
the
plans
starting
to
acknowledge
the
pain
and
trauma
that
our
community
has
experienced.
I'm
heartened
to
see
ncr,
for
example,
so
very
clearly
address
the
feedback
that
has
been
gathered
about
the
one
small
element
of
the
communications
plans
to
acknowledge
the
harm
and
to
shift.
K
K
K
So
I
just
again
just
want
to
say
you
know
on
behalf
of
my
constituents,
I
appreciate
the
shift
and
in
tone
that
we
did
see
today.
I
encourage
all
of
the
staff
at
the
city
and
all
of
our
leaders
at
the
city
to
start
from
that
place,
of
acknowledging
the
city's
role
in
trauma
to
see
supporting
our
community
as
fundamental
to
moving
our
city
forward
and
to
our
safety
and
to
the
safety
of
all
of
the
people
in
our
community.
So
thank
you.
L
B
Councilmember,
gordon,
the
the
security
fencing
was
done
in
cooperation
with
hennepin
county
and
the
city
is
responsible
for
its
share
of
the
fencing
that
is
around
its
buildings,
and
it
is,
the
county
is
responsible
for
those
around
its
buildings
and
then,
as
you
know,
the
city
hall
is
a
shared
cost
between
the
the
city
and
the
county.
Through
the
municipal
building
corporation.
L
Okay,
so
it
would
be
interesting
and
probably
helpful
to
understand
exactly
how
much
the
city
is
responsible
for
covering
those
expenses
and
how
much
they
are.
I'm
not
sure
that
they're
a
lot
of
money,
but
I
often
know
that
when
the
government
is
trying
to
purchase
and
use
those
things
costs
get
pretty
high,
it
seems
I
also
noticed
it
seemed
like
more
and
more
of
the
plaza
across
from
city
hall
is
now
being
separated
with
an
additional
fencing.
B
Council
member
garden
I'll
certainly
ask
commander
girlicker
to
follow
up,
but
generally
on
your
specifics
about
the
access
to
buildings.
It's
my
understanding
and
this
can
be
verified
by
contacting
hennepin
county,
my
understanding,
the
hennepin
county
government
center.
It
will
not
be
open
starting
this
week
and
so
that
only
employees
working
out
of
that
building
for
the
next
two
months
will
be
county
employees
who
are
working
directly
for
the
trial.
Otherwise
their
operations
have
been
relocated
to
other
facilities.
B
E
E
The
fencing
that
you
do
see
in
place
will
be
there
throughout
the
trial
and
afterwards
the
fencing
that
just
went
up
over
the
weekend
was
placed
by
hennepin
county
to
better
protect
that
facility
and
that
facility,
as
of
right
now,
is
closed
and
secure
that
being
the
government
center,
and
it
will
remain
that
way
throughout
the
entire
trial.
So
only
those
that
are
directly
affiliated
with
the
trial
will
have
access
to
hennepin,
county
government
center
and
city
coordinator
ruff
is
is
exactly
right.
E
The
city
hall
will
be
open,
however,
public
access
will
be
restricted
in
the
coming
week
or
two
to
the
fourth
street
side
of
city
hall.
There
will
be
no
ability
for
folks
to
gather
and
return
or
anything,
but
there
is
certainly
business
that
goes
on
at
city
hall
that
will
continue
throughout
the
entire
trial.
Thank
you.
L
Okay-
well,
that's
quite
an
inconvenience,
I'm
sure
for
a
lot
of
people
to
have
the
government
center
closed
for
the
length
of
the
trial.
I'm
also
wondering,
in
terms
of
response
to
protests.
I
know
when
we
saw
some
it's
easy
to
make
judgments
about
these
things.
After
the
fact
I
guess,
but
what
many
people
perceived
as
overreaction.
In
fact,
council
member
schroeder
articulated
some
very
specific
examples
about
what
happened
to
media
and
press
personnel
because
people
weren't
effective.
I
guess
we
weren't
effective
in
de-escalating
things
in
the
past.
D
Yes,
councilmember
gordon,
so
one
of
the
advantages
that
we
have
this
time
around
is
time
and
planning,
and
so
many
of
our
different
mutual
aid
partners.
You
know,
there's
a
state
requirements
for
de-escalation
training
and
crisis
intervention
training,
so
many
of
those
agencies
have
have
continued
to
receive
those
for
for
their
own
licensing,
but
also
we're
having
conversations
as
mutual
aid
partners
as
to
expectations
or
guiding
principles.
D
Even
the
last
couple
of
months,
we've
had
a
lot
of
outreach
and
communication
with
organizations
as
to
what
are
the
expectations
of
state
patrol
and
and
what
they
can
expect
in
that
we've
had
conversations
about
what?
What
is
that?
What
are
dispersal
orders
and
what
can
be
anticipated
after
those
dispersal
orders
are
given.
So
we
we're
continuing
to
have
a
lot
of
outreach,
a
lot
of
communication.
D
I
will
tell
you
that,
just
in
the
past
a
couple
of
months,
some
of
the
outreach
that
we're
doing
I
know
that
director
cotton
is
sasha.
Cotton
from
ovp
is
is
not
on
the
line
here,
but
we've
been
having
a
lot
of
conversations
with
our
communities.
I've
personally
have
talked
with
the
lake
street
business
and
community
nonprofit
councils,
metropolitan
urban,
indian
directors,
downtown
improvement,
district,
our
unity
community
teams,
our
african-american
faith
leaders,
our
minneapolis
interfaith
groups-
are
public
schools.
Schools
will
be
open
and
operating
at
that
time.
D
The
latino
business
leaders
minneapolis
naacp.
I
don't
believe
that
we
can
ever
over
communicate,
so
those
expectations
are
important.
Also,
I
want
to
just
take
a
moment
to
say
that
it's
not
always
just
about
what
we
can
expect
from
community,
but
what
the
community's
expectations
are
from
us
who
are
going
to
be
wearing
these
uniforms,
making
sure
that
all
of
our
public
safety
folks
adhere
to
our
minnesota
law
enforcement
code
of
ethics.
D
I
mentioned
earlier
about
journalists
the
important
role
the
journal
is
playing
our
democracy
and
being
able
to
capture
and
record
history,
but
making
sure
that
they
do
that
safely,
making
sure
that
they
also
have
the
configuration
and
outline
of
the
the
plaza
and
and
what
that's
going
to
look
like
for
for
gathering
spaces
that
they
also
matter
of
fact.
We
just
last
week,
general
mankey
of
the
national
guard
had
representatives
talking
with
members
of
little
earth
community.
D
And
mitigate
that
from
occurring
and
a
good
piece
to
that
is
working
with
our
community
members
who
are
going
to
be
out
there
peacefully
protesting
and
some
of
those
have
reached
out
to
me
and
said
you
know
rondo
if
we
start
to
see
some
of
those
folks
try
to
embed
or
hijack
our
peaceful
demonstrations,
we're
gonna,
let
you
know
we're
gonna
physically
separate
ourselves
from
that,
so
that
you
can
have
a
clear
discernment
of
who's,
causing
problems
and
who's
not
and
again.
Last
year
we
were
more
reactionary.
L
And
I
also
think
it's
important
that
we
recognize
that
sometimes
a
group
of
people
can
even
help
self-monitor
and
control
those.
So
I've
been
at
many
gatherings
and
it's
been
the
group
that's
standing
there
calms
down.
Somebody
has
somebody
leave
and
so
they're
doing
a
lot
of
self-management,
but
that's
difficult
to
do
when
law
enforcement
is
escalating.
The
situation
and
all
of
a
sudden
decides
that
they
need
to
almost
attack
everybody
who's
near
that
whatever.
So
that's
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
you're
doing
and
coordinating
and
communicating.
L
I
think
that's
going
to
be
really
critical.
In
fact,
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
fourth
precinct
there
wasn't
the
violence
back
in
2015,
I
believe
when
after
jamar
clark
was
killed
by
police,
so
that
coordination
is
important,
but
I
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
happen
and
if
it
could
happen
with
ev
everybody
and
obviously
it
didn't
after
the
killing
of
george
floyd.
L
During
that
protest,
when
there
were
individuals
who
decided
to
escalate
things
and
rather
than
figuring
out
a
way
to
de-escalate
ourselves,
target
the
individual
and
or
preserve
whatever
we
needed
the
safety
around
the
vehicle.
I
understand
one
of
the
reasons
we
ramped
everything
up
and
I
may
not
have
all
the
accurate
information
was
because
some
of
the
cars
were
broken
into
police
cars
and
we
were
concerned
about
that.
L
But
we
have
to
have
a
way,
I
think
of
figuring
out
how
to
do
a
better
job
of
isolating
people
who
are
causing
problems
and
not
end
up
actually
hurting
people
who
aren't
and
who
are
actually
could
be
part
of
the
solution.
And
that's
what
I
hope
we
can
really
focus
in
on.
I'm
also
really
concerned
about
law
enforcement
agencies
coming
in
from
far
away
and
what
kind
of
tools
and
weapons
they're
going
to
have
them
be
authorized
to
use,
who
might
not
have
as
much
training.
L
And
how
are
we
gonna
make
sure
that
they're
positioned
appropriately
in
the
background,
if
we
feel
like
those
who
are
better
skilled
at
managing
a
crowd
and
de-escalating
things,
should
be
in
the
forefront
of
that
effort?
So
I'll
just
you,
don't
necessarily
have
to
respond,
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
gone
in
proactively
to
trying
to
do
the
best
you
possibly
can
with
this
from
everybody
and
I'll
just
end
with
one
last
question.
I
just
want
to
get
clarity.
L
B
H
L
M
If
provocateurs
do
show
up
to
try
to
co-opt
peaceful
protests.
So
I
guess
I'm
I'm
wondering
chief.
If
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
to
or
or
commander
garlicker
any
training
that
mpd
officers
and
our
mutual
aid
officers
have
received
in
differentiating
between
white
nationalist
insurrectionists,
who
are
trying
to
overthrow
our
government
and
minneapolis
residents.
M
Members
of
our
community
who
are
trying
to
express
themselves
and
then,
if
you
can
reassure
people
about
who,
whether
it's
the
fbi
or
us
or
or
however,
it's
happening,
is
monitoring
communications
threads
among
folks
who
have
shown
that
they
actually
do
want
to
do
harm
to
our
government.
Are
we
monitoring
to
make
sure
that
we
would
know
if
they
were
planning
anything
in
minneapolis
and
who's
responsible
for
that
work?.
D
Yes,
councilmember
fletcher.
Thank
you
for
your
question
and
just
for
clarification.
I
I
mentioned
january
6
in
terms
of
at
least
the
reports
that
continue
to
come
out
from
that
event,
and
certainly
there's
be
after
action
reports.
The
the
planning
and
preparation
was
was
was
key,
and
so
I
I
mentioned
that
we've
had
the
ability
now
to
have
time
to
to
plan
and
whether
that's
a
securing
critical
infrastructure.
D
That's
that's
an
advantage
to
us
as
a
city
that
we've
had
the
time
and
planning
to
secure
and
and
make
sure
we're
doing
all
we
can
in
that
regard.
No,
the
vast
majority
of
our
our
community
members
throughout
last
year
and
this
year
are
demonstrating
peacefully.
We
are
working
closely
with
the
fbi
in
terms
of
the
intelligence,
and
that
has
been
part
of
the
phase.
One
planning
that's
been
going
on
for
several
months
now
we're
fortunate.
D
D
Our
federal
partners
are
still
apprehending
individuals
who
fled
the
state
who
caused
damage
last
year,
who
are
associated
with
some
of
those
groups,
so
so
that
that
piece
is
very
key.
But
yes,
discerning
gathering
intelligence
in
terms
of
what
individuals
are
associated
with
hate
groups
or
white
supremacy
groups.
Yes,
that
that
needs
to
be
ongoing
and
and
and
making
sure
that
we're
not
ever
associating
that
with
the
general
community
and
city
folks
who
are
going
to
be
out
there
demonstrating.
M
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that
update
in
that
response.
The
one
other
question
I
have,
which
is
probably
for
commissioner
musicant,
is
I
appreciate
that
you're
thinking
about
restroom
and
hand
washing
facilities
at
38th
in
chicago,
I'm
wondering
thinking
about.
Obviously,
we've
got
a
lot
of
fencing
set
up
at
city
hall
in
the
government
centers,
which
suggests
that
we're
expecting
a
crowd
and
that
we're
prepared
to
control
people
if
they
get
out
of
line.
M
But
I
I
wonder
if
you
can
speak
a
little
more
to
anything
that
we're
doing
to
care
for
people's
health
and
wellness
while
they're
downtown,
especially
given
that
probably
just
about
every
publicly
accessible
facility
will
be
closed
and
subject
to
new
security
measures.
Are
we
thinking
about
porta
potties
and
hand,
washing
stations
and
other
kinds
of
sort
of
necessary
comforts
to
accommodate
crowds
downtown?
While
we
simultaneously
lock
everything
down.
I
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher,
for
that
question.
That
was
a
topic
of
discussion
last
week
as
we
talked
about
preparations,
and
I
have
since
heard
from
city
coordinator
mark
ruff
that
he
has
been
a
part
of
some
conversations
to
address
that
need
city
coordinator.
Would
you
be
able
to
answer
or
help
answer
that
question.
N
We
had
conversations
about
non-emergency
lines,
what
to
call
3114
versus
9114,
and
thank
you
for
acknowledging
that
there
was
tremendous
commute
confusion
last
summer
as
to
which
which
lines
to
call
for
what
and
it
seemed
to
keep
changing.
So
I
really
am
looking
forward
to
that
posting
of
who
to
call
for
what
and
I'm
wondering
and
haven't
yet
heard.
Will
there
be
expanded
hours
4-3-1-1
or
to
give
people
a
sense
that
somebody
is
picking
up
or
taking
messages
off
of
these
non-emergency
lines
and
I'm
not
quite
sure
who
that's
for
that's
all.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
councilmember,
palmisano
and
mark
at
this
stage.
3-1-1
will
not
will
be
under
normal
operating
hours,
working
through
seven
o'clock
on
fridays
and
then
back
on
again
monday
mornings
at
seven
a.m.
They
are
exploring
options
if
needed,
obviously
for
fuller
coverage
on
the
weekends,
and
we
can
definitely
report
back
to
you
on
that.
G
At
this
stage
there
isn't
another
hotline
being
stood
up,
so
there
isn't
kind
of
an
additional
hotline
being
stood
up.
We
do
want
to
make
sure
people
are
going
to
those
existing
resources
and
we
will
make
sure
to
be
very
clear
about
who
to
call
for
what
when
and
then
we'll
be
sure
to
share
additional
information
if
there
are
new
resources
for
specific
reasons,
as
the
situation
arises.
N
O
D
Councilmember
ellison,
thank
you
for
that
question,
so
I
know
that
the
last
couple
of
of
demonstrations
and
gatherings
there
was
a
group
from
I
think
they
were
attorneys
or
but
they
were,
they
were
monitors
and
I
and
I
and
I
believe
they
also
had
some
sort
of
identifiable,
whether
a
lanyard
or
credentials
or
something,
and
so
that
would
be
helpful
again.
If
that
and
I'm
I'm
making
an
assumption
that
might
be
the
group
you're
referring
to
or
but.
D
Yeah,
if
there's
any
groups
like
that,
I
think
if
we
can
get
that
information
so
that
we
can
have
that
in
the
unified
command
and
whether
you
know
you
know,
if
I
recall
last
year,
they
not
only
were
they
at
the
location
of
some
of
these
events,
but
then
they
would
show
up
at
the
jail
sheriff
hutchinson's
jail,
and
so,
if
we
can
get
that
information,
if
there's
a
contact
person
that
we
can
have
for
our
unified
command
to
have
that
information.
That
would
be
helpful.
D
O
Who's
the
best
person
to
steer
them
to
would
that
be
commander
girlicker,
yes,
yeah,
okay,
great,
I
know
that
yeah
they
were,
they
did
have
identifiers,
but
I
know,
depending
on
who
they
ran
into
whether
it
was
sheriff's
or
mpd.
They
got
different
different
responses,
so
hopefully
we
can
just
get
a
a
a
uniform
response,
no
matter
who
the
who
the
jurisdiction
is.
O
The
other
question
that
I
had
and
and
and
this
is
just
more
for
clarity
for
myself,
because
I
don't
know
some
of
the
legal
support
groups
had
heard
that
that
only
felony
level
arrests
would
be
ending
up
at
the
jail
and
that
if
there
were
other
arrests
that
fell
short
of
that
that
they
might
that
folks
might
be
processed
somewhere
else.
Is
that
is
there?
O
Any
truth
to
that,
you
know
are:
can
folks
still
depend
on
going
to
the
county
jail
if
they
feel
like
someone's,
been
arrested
or
detained,
or
is
there
going
to
be
a
secondary,
a
secondary
site
where
folks
are
processed?
I
think
that
question
comes
out
of
during
the
the
highway
arrests
folks
were
sort
of
dropped
off
at
random
locations
and
and
not
one
uniform
location,
and
so
I
think,
there's
some
groups
trying
to
get
ahead
of
get
ahead
of
that.
D
D
But
in
the
event
that
you
know-
and
I
I
feel
a
little
bit
out
of
my
lane
just
because
sheriff
hutch
runs
the
jail
there,
and
I
know
that
there
are
conversations
that
he
still
has
regarding
the
health
of
the
inmates
and
the
staff
there
with
covid
in
those
types
of
of
conversations.
But
but
we
have
not
deviated
from
that
related
to
felony
or
misdemeanor.
We
have
obviously
many
of
these
situations
where
they've
been
more
of
the
misdemeanor
level.
D
There's
been
citations
in
lieu
of
arrest,
the
physical
transporting
of
people,
but
we
we
would
certainly
be
able
to
communicate
that
out.
If
there
was
some
a
different
change
in
terms
of
that
or
if
we
were
transporting
people
to
the
jail
or
others
to
another
location,
we
would
certainly
try
to
make
sure
that
communication
got
out
there.
But
right
as
of
right
now,
today,
there's
been
no
deviation
from
from
that
process.
O
Thank
you
chief.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I
will
say
that,
as
these
things
have
come
up
in
the
past,
your
office
has
been
incredibly
responsive,
whether
it's
ac
jose
or
whether
it's
dc
force.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
and
and
I'll
try
to
get
you
that
information
and
I'll
be
in
touch
with
commander
girlicor
about
who,
with
the
national
lawyers
guild
or
the
legal
right
center
might
be
one
and
wanting
to
connect.
O
You
know
the
the
other
thing
I'll
say
is
is
that
is
that
I
am
a
little
bit
and
this
isn't
necessarily
a
direct
question.
But
I
I
have
been
a
little
bit
disappointed
with
the
the
the
heavy
you
know,
seemingly
police
only
focus
of
this
plan
up
until
up
until
you
know
today
we
haven't
really
heard-
or
I
feel
like.
O
I
haven't
really
heard,
and
I
I
certainly
know
the
community
feels
like
it-
hasn't-
really
heard-
a
plan
that
that
that
affirms
the
kind
of
trauma
that
that
that
happened
this
past
summer
and
and
not
just
from
the
four
officers
who
killed
george
floyd,
but
but
from
the
response
that
that
that
happened
afterwards.
And
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
we
are
still
in
an
ongoing
pattern
and
practice
investigation.
And
that
does
not.
O
That
is
not
limited
to
the
behavior
of
these
four
officers,
but
but
but
expands
to
the
ways
in
which
people's
civil
liberties
were
were
violated,
expands
into
the
ways
in
which
we've
had
members
of
the
press
not
only
injured
but
but
maimed
by
our
police
force.
And
and
when
I
look
at
this
plan,
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
that
we
didn't
necessarily
learn
those
lessons
as
well
that
we're
struggling
to
kind
of
hold
the
the
entirety
of
what
happened
this
summer.
O
And
I
believe
that
the
council,
council
president
talked
about
how
we
don't
have
a
shared
understanding
of
what
really
happened
this
past
summer.
You
know
I've
asked
a
couple
of
times.
What
is
the
basis
for
our
plan?
I
get
the
reason
to
have
a
plan.
We
saw
a
lot
of
unrest
and
we
saw
a
lot
of
damage.
That
is
a
reason
to
have
a
plan,
but
it's
not
a
basis
for
one
and
and-
and
I
I
feel
like-
I
haven't
really
gotten
an
answer
to
that
question.
O
O
You
know
it
was
a
video
that
was
really
horrific.
It
was
a
murder
that
really
rocked
the
city
of
chicago,
and
it
was
a
trial
that
the
city
of
chicago
felt
like
they
had
to
prepare
for,
and
that
trial
was
just
in
2018,
and
I
thought
okay.
Well,
you
know
that
might
be
a
high
profile,
killing
of
a
community
member
of
a
young
young
black
man
and
and
at
the
hands
of
a
white
police
officer.
O
Events
allowing
peaceful
demonstrators
to
unfold
johnson
said
that
the
public
will
not
see
officers
deployed
in
military
style,
clothing
or
riot
gear
unless
the
need
arises.
I
hear
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
military
presence
and
and
that
that
we're
going
to
have
preemptively,
and
I
fear
that
that
is
more
likely
to
invite
the
kind
of
chaos
that
we're
hoping
to
to
to
avoid
and
to
protect
our
residents
against.
You
know
I'll
read
just
one
more
other
thing.
O
From
from
this
article
johnson
said
the
department
was
not
expecting
any
problems
based
on
what
authorities
were
hearing,
and
that
goes
back
to
my
question
of
you
know.
What
are
we
hearing
on
the
ground
you
know,
and
recently
I
read
it
in
in
a
recent
article
that
folks
on
the
ground
feel
like
they
haven't
really
been
hearing
from
us
and
and
so,
if
folks
on
the
ground
aren't
hearing
from
us,
then
how
can
our
plan
have
any
basis
for
for
what
people
are
feeling
on
the
ground?
O
You
know
we
can't
make
a
plan
that
is
rooted
in
what
happened
after
the
rodney
king
verdict
in
la
in
1992.
I
think
that
we
should
make
a
plan
that
is
a
little
bit
more
specific
to
our
time
and
location
and-
and
I
feel
like
I
I
feel
like-
I
fear
that
we
we
haven't
done
that
here.
One
of
the
other
questions
that
I've
I've
seen
coming
from
community
members
is,
is
I've
gotten
this
question?
O
Does
the
city
already
know
the
outcome
of
this
trial
based
on
based
on
the
preparations?
It
seems,
like
the
city
knows
the
outcome,
and,
and
and
I
have
to
you
know
it
does-
take
a
lot
of
energy
to
tell
people
hey.
Look.
You
know
this
this.
This
is
not
coming
from
the
the
this
plan
is
not
being
designed
by
the
the
attorneys
taking
up
this.
O
I,
as
since
we've
been
sitting
here,
I've
gotten
a
text
message
from
from
a
constituent
who
said
what
does?
What
does
peaceful
protest
look
like
to
the
police
when
people
are
are
hurting
and
people
feel
like
they
are
in
a
fight
for
their
life
against
the
police.
And
I
think
it's
a
good
question
and-
and
I
don't
have
an
answer
to
that-
I
don't
know
what
registers
as
peaceful
protest
to
the
officers
who
are
gonna,
be
out
there
and
and
and
and
and
I
do
fear
escalation.
O
And
so
I
I'm
gonna
hope
for
the
best.
I'm
I
I
do
plan
to
sort
of
be
present
for
for
my
ward
and
and
and
to
continue
to
try
to
connect
with
community
members
and
and
and
ensure
that
people
aren't
harmed,
whether
by
people
coming
into
the
city,
to
create
chaos,
whether
by
our
police
department
themselves
or
by
some
of
our
mutual
aid
partners.
O
P
I
first
wanted
to
thank
the
lake
street
council
and
the
latino
business
owners
and
the
chief
of
police
who
have
been
getting
together
to
talk
about
these
preparations
and
what
to
anticipate
and
how
to
manage
the
the
flow
of
information
and
response.
So
I
was
able
to
be
a
part
of
a
conversation
in
spanish
with
the
chief
on
this
and
really
really
hope
that
that's
something
that
we're
replicating
with
other
cultural
communities
throughout
our
city.
P
I
also
want
to
say
that
last
year
I
was
incredibly
just
thankful
for
the
work
that
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
did
specifically
through
its
community
outreach
specialists
when
lake
street
was
burned
down.
I
think
that
those
those
strategies
and
resources
and
relationships
that
ncr
holds
are
so
vital
to
help
us
not
only
respond
in
the
moment,
but
to
continue
to
build
that
capacity
that
our
city
as
a
whole
needs
to
hold
us
through
the
next
12
months.
P
I
do
believe
that
you
know
we
as
a
city
employees
as
city
leaders.
We
do
this
work
with
community
and-
and
I
certainly
don't
expect
any
directors
or
any
staff
members
to
to
take
on
these
next
couple
of
months
on
your
own.
I
really
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
double
down
on
the
work
that
we've
been
hearing
about
and
seeing
here
relating
to
to
building
those
relationships
and
and
that
communications.
P
This
is
really
much
more
dynamic
and
it's
much
more
rooted
in
cultural
practices
in
the
ebbs
and
flows
of
the
daily
life
of
those
communities,
and
I
hope
that
that
we
can
hear
similar
stories,
such
as
mariano's
stories
happening
in
the
east
african
community
in
the
american
indian
community
in
the
hmong
community
and
the
african-american
community
through
the
work
that
ncr
leads.
So
I
know
that
having
a
strong
relationship
between
ncr
and
mpd
is
going
to
be
vital
to
support
our
communities
through
the
next
months.
P
And
so
I'm
curious
to
hear
you
know
who,
who
are
we
supposed
to
submit
that
request
to
to
to
essentially
close
access
to
lake
street,
both
foot
traffic
and
and
vehicle
traffic,
and
and
who
you
know,
who's
kind
of
the
decision
maker
on
that?
Is
it
the
chief?
Is
it
the
mayor?
Is
it
the
governor,
because
that
was
really
unclear
last
year,
that
these
sort
of
requests
kind
of
would
go
into
this
amorphous
enterprise
decision
making
process?
And
we
would
never
hear
back.
P
You
know
like
what
why
that
couldn't
be
done
or
why
it
was
gonna,
be
done
or
why
it
it
just
never
even
got
heard
as
a
as
a
request.
So
I
I
anticipate
that
that
will
be
another
request,
especially
if
burning
down
of
buildings
starts
to
happen
again
on
lake
street,
regardless
of
whose
buildings
they
are,
whether
it's
u.s
bank
or
you
know
the
small
business
store
owned
by
an
immigrant
on
the
corner.
It
doesn't
really
matter
whose
building
it
is.
D
Yes,
councilmember
mcconnell.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
question
and
certainly
your
leadership
with
the
lake
street
council
and
latino
nonprofits
the
other
day.
As
far
as
your
question
regarding
street
closures.
As
of
as
of
right
now,
our
plans
right
now
anticipate
our
city
continuing
to
function,
streets
being
open,
even
downtown
where
the
the
trial
is
going
to
be
held.
We
are
not
anticipating
right
now,
blocking
off
any
streets,
whether
it's
third
avenue
or
fourth
avenue.
D
We
want
to
kind
of
continue
to
keep
those
open
and
so
right
now
there
are.
There
are
no
plans
to
have
street
closures
for
whether
it
be
lake
street
or
broadway
avenue.
Now,
in
the
event
that
there's
information
that
we're
receiving
that
for
the
public
safety
of
those
neighborhoods
in
east
phillips,
that
would
be
advantageous
from
a
public
safety
perspective
to
close
the
streets
that
information,
whether
we're
receiving
it
or
community
leaders
on
the
ground
or
members,
are
receiving
that
on
the
ground.
D
We
don't
want
to
get
that
to
commander
girlicker,
but
as
of
as
a
and
then
that
decision
would
again
be
based
upon
the
really
the
public
safety
need
to
do.
That
and
certainly
last
year
that
certainly
the
residents
have
said
that
that
was
a
concern,
and
so
that's
why
they
had
risk
wish
to
have
that
request
made.
D
But
as
we
go
into
this
right
now,
we
do
not
anticipate
closing
off
any
streets,
but
in
the
event,
there's
information
or
there's
things
occurring
out
there
in
those
neighborhoods
that
residents
or
businesses
are
believing.
It
would
be
helpful
to
close
those
streets.
We'd
want
to
get
that
information
to
commander
girlicker
for
a
unified
command
to
assist
in
that
yeah.
What
we
don't
want
is
if
we
have
to
do
that,
we
don't
want
residents,
taking
it
upon
themselves
to
either
use
their
own
personal
vehicles
to
make
use
makeshift
barriers.
D
Those
types
of
things
we
really
want
to
make
sure
this
is
done
in
a
manner
that
we
as
a
city
are
monitoring
that
it's
in
the
purpose
of
public
safety
and
and
that
we
can
go
in
there
to
try
to
resolve
a
situation
peacefully
if
it's
requiring
even
the
request
for
a
street
closure
is.
Is
that
helpful,
councilmember.
P
Okay,
thank
you.
Yes,
I
I
think
we
should
think
about
that
scenario
and
have
it
in
our
toolbox,
because
the
without
having
something
to
protect
the
corridor.
What
we
saw
was
then
people
arming
themselves-
and
I
don't
think
that
makes
anything
safer.
More
guns
by
more
people
in
a
moment
of
crisis
isn't
going
to
be
more
safe
for
people
and
that's
exactly
what
happened
last
last
may
early
june.
P
P
And
so
I
will
just
offer
to
you
those
connections,
relationships
and
resources
that
trust
that
those
people
have
put
in
us
because
we
were
on
the
ground.
Just
like
ncr
was
on
the
ground
when
the
crisis
was
happening,
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
sort
of
share
that
built
trust
and
share
that
energy
that
we've
invested
in
being.
P
Is
they
want
a
better
city
and
they
want
to
build
that
better
city
with
us?
So
I
just
want
to
express
and
offer
my
office
support
to
make
sure
that
you're
all
connected
to
those
different
cultural
leaders
and
communities
on
lake
street
to
make
sure
that
our
strategies
are
strong
and
sustained
and
rooted.
So,
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work
on
this.
I
really
appreciate
it.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
ruff,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
to
everyone
for
this.
For
this
public
briefing,
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
have
this
information
out
on
the
public
record
for
folks
to
be
able
to
have
clear
information,
because
we
have
not
been
able
to
communicate
in.
I
think
the
ways
we
as
the
city,
but
also
as
elected
officials
being
able
to
communicate
with
our
constituents
about
the
details.
So
I
do
think
that
this
is
very
important.
Q
Q
In
order
to
feel
heard,
and
so
I
think
that
that
is,
you
know
just
a
concern
that
I'm
carrying
as
a
council
member,
that
this
planning
process
has
been
underway.
I
think
I
heard
seven
months,
and
that
was
largely
during
that
time
focused
on
law
enforcement
response
and
only
about
two
months
have
like
a
little
bit
less.
I
think
than
two
months
have
been
focused
on
community
needs
and
community
engagement
and
community
support
and
outreach.
Q
But
I
do
want
to
be
clear,
though,
that
while
mpd
should
absolutely
be
thinking
collaborative
collaboratively
about
how
we
keep
our
city
safer,
not
only
in
this
case,
but
more
broadly
with
safety.
Overall,
I
do
think
that
it
is
that
they
are
not
responsible
for
having
to
coordinate
a
response
like
their
their
area.
Focus
primarily
is
law
enforcement,
and
so
so
there
is,
there
has
been
a
gap
in
really
thinking
creatively
around.
Q
How
do
we
get
to
the
outcome
in
which
our
community
feels
so
cared
for
that
we
don't
need
a
heavy-handed
response
to
be
able
to
keep
the
peace
and
have
a
plan
that
centers
people
rather
than
property,
and
I'm.
I
think
that
this
this
plan
is.
I
think
this
this
plan
is
what
has
been
pulled
together.
I
see
the
the
obvious
work
that
has
gone
in
city
staff.
Q
Q
Are
there
it's
good
to
know
about
the
communications
infrastructure,
but
are
there
plans
for
just
something
as
simple
as
like
a
broader
faq,
because
I'm
just
a
little
bit
concerned
that
I
saw
an
faq
really
was
released
by
the
downtown
council
before
I
saw
something
directly
from
the
city?
So
do
we
have
anything
like
a
one?
I
know
we're
gonna
have
a
website,
but
is
there
gonna
be
like
a
one-stop
shop
like
faq
for
for
easy
access
to
kind
of
basic
information.
G
Yes,
thank
you
councilmember
cunningham
and
my
apologies.
I
may
not
have
mentioned
that
as
a
specific
item
for
that
website.
But
yes,
there
will
be
a
an
faq
that
has
been
in
development
over
the
past
few
weeks.
That
will
be
up
a
part
of
that
website,
as
as
that
launches
on
friday
as
well,
and
we
can
get
that
out
internally
to
council
members
as
well.
Just
so
you
have
that
standalone
faq
and
I
should
also
say
also
my
apologies.
G
Q
Great,
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
know
it's
kind
of
a
very
specific
detail
around.
Will
there
be
an
faq,
but
that's
been
a
a
question
that
I've
been
asked,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
we
got
that
covered.
So
thank
you
for
that.
So
you
know
the
the
last
time
that
we
had
like
last
summer.
Q
What
we
just
saw
was
there
was,
generally
speaking,
a
neglect,
a
protection
gap
that
we
had
to
deal
with
in
north
minneapolis,
that
we,
as
non-law
enforcement,
had
to
really
fill
those
gaps
in
order
to
keep
our
critical
infrastructure
protected.
Our
small
businesses-
and
you
know
a
lot
of
folks-
are
still
carrying
a
lot
of
trauma
from
the
white
supremacy
terrorism
that
we've
faced
with
our
black
owned
businesses
being
burned
down
with
the
caravans
of
headlights
off
no
license
plates
zipping
through
residential
areas.
The
harassment
of
folks
I
mean
it
was.
Q
It
was
a
lot
of
folks
really
have
struggled
with
that.
So
you
know,
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
like
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
there
was
intentional
relationship
building
that
happened
with
the
little
earth
community.
I
just
I
didn't
really
see
that
here
in
the
subsequent
time,
and
so
I
don't
want
us
to
fill
the
gap
in
a
way
that
feels
like
an
occupation
than
of
the
north
side
that
makes
black
north
siders
in
particular
feel
further
vulnerable
to
potential
state
violence.
Q
And
so
you
know
I
just
you
know
it's
our
job
to
figure
out
how
to
thread
that
needle.
But
you
know
I
just
feel
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
I
advocate
for
that
on
the
on
the
record
of
you
know:
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
a
protection
gap
in
the
same
kind
of
way,
but
not
do
so
in
a
way?
That's
so
heavy-handed
that
it
actually
makes
folks
feel
unsafe
in
a
different
kind
of
way.
Q
I
do
have
a
question
for
the
chief,
so
this
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
higher
level
question.
So
have
there
been
any
sorts
of
debriefings
or
dialogue
in
mpd
amongst
rank
and
file
officers
about
what
exactly
is
happening
and
why
people
are
angry
like
being
able
to
talk
about
the
difference
between,
like
folks,
understand
the
history
of
policing?
Q
Why
folks
are
angry,
because
I
just
I
we
can
train
folks
to
de-escalate
a
situation,
but
if
they
are
taking
something
very
personally
that
you
know,
a
group
of
people
who
are
protesting
are
personally
attacking
an
individual,
it's
very
hard
for
that
individual
to
hold
all
of
that
and
then
de-escalated
and
so
yeah.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
ask
like:
has
there
been
any
work
on
that?
D
They've
had
those
tough
conversations
and
continue
to
have
those
conversations,
and
we
need
that.
That's
that's
not
only
part
of
the
community
healing,
but
that's
also
part
of
our
wellness
for
our
for
our
men
and
women
as
well.
I'm
proud
of
the
fact
that,
and
even
though
it's
it's
been
publicly
known,
that
we've
lost
a
significant
number
of
of
our
officers
that
have
left
for
for
their
reasons,
personal
and
otherwise,
but
for
those
men
and
women
who
continue
to
stay
here.
D
To
show
up
to
say,
I
want
to
be
counted
I
want
to.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
still
here
in
service
of
my
community
very
proud
of
them,
and
these
are
conversations
that
you
you
just
they're
they're,
going
to
happen
and
they
know
that
they
they
have
gone
to
scenes
over
the
past
year,
where
they're
there
to
render
aid
and
they've
at
times
been
met
by
people.
Who've
been
angry
with
them
and
no
fault
of
their
own
individual
sense,
but
they've
and-
and
so
they've
asked
the.
Why.
D
Q
Is
you
know?
Peaceful
protests
also
include
black
rage
from
the
ongoing
trauma
and
pain
that
has
been
a
result
of
structural
and
systemic
violence,
and
but
that
kind
of
emotional
expression
is
very
upsetting
to
minnesota's
sensibilities
to
be
so
emotionally
expressive,
particularly
with
a
negative
emotion.
Q
So
you
know
I
it's
it's
good
for
us
to
have
like
a
hard
list
of
like
this
is
what's
considered
inbounds.
This
is
what's
considered
out
of
bounds.
I
think
that
the
emotionality,
though
kind
of
maybe,
can
grade
that
area
a
little
bit,
and
so
I
think
my
bigger
concern
is
around
the
mutual
aid
partners,
who
maybe
don't
have
a
lot
of
experience
interacting
with
communities
of
color,
particularly
black
community
members,
who
have
experienced
a
disproportionate
amount
of
state
violence,
for
example.
Q
Q
D
Question.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
question
councilmember
cunningham,
so
so
one
of
the
unique
things
about
the
having
the
unified
command
is
all
of
those
different
agency
leaders
that
was
on
the
screen
earlier
today.
National
guard,
hennepin,
county
sheriff's
office,
state
patrol
and
others
the
the
the
wonderful
thing
about
that
is.
D
D
Let
them
know
that,
maybe
perhaps
what
you're
seeing
in
that
group,
where
there's
five
people
huddled
with
one
person
who
seems
to
be
very
loud
and
and
what
have
you
they've
got
that
under
control
couple
mcconnell
talked
about
utilizing
and
leveraging
the
capacity
of
our
community
that
that's
an
advantage
that
we
will
have
so
being
under
this
unified
command
doesn't
mean
that
folks
are
out
in
the
ether
kind
of
operating
on
their
own.
The
benefit
of
unified
command
is.
D
We
are
all
in
that
room
together,
real
time
getting
the
real-time
information
at
the
same
time
and
again,
because
it's
unified
command,
but
if
it's
happening
in
minneapolis
we
because
the
the
experience
we
have
operating
it.
Obviously,
in
our
own
city,
we
have
the
ability
to
to
get
the
right
and
more
appropriate
response
to
those
situations.
D
So
it's
it's
not
a
perfect
science,
but
but
it's
it's
it's
one
that
we
think
that
we
have
an
advantage
over
and
again
knowing
our
city,
knowing
some
of
the
dynamics
and
also
too
these
mutual
aid
partners.
We've
we've
done
these
situations
before
and
so
they've
had
some
experience
as
well,
but
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
B
R
Thank
you,
mr
ruff.
So
first
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
the
presentation
today
and
sharing
all
the
information.
It's
really
helpful
to
have
this
out
publicly
and
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
on
preparing
for
this
upcoming
trial
and
all
the
thought
and
attention
that
went
into
it,
and
I
also
want
to
express
appreciation
for
other
jurisdictions
as
well,
who
are
willing
to
lend
a
hand
when
we've
asked
for
it
and
are
a
part
of
this
work
as
well.
I
do
have
two
questions.
R
R
B
I
I
don't
hear
her
either
council
member,
you
know,
as
we
are
aware,
we're
about
an
hour
past
time,
and
so
certainly
others
may
have
had
commitments,
but
I
will
follow
up
with
commissioner
musicant
and
have
a
written
response
back
to
council
for
your
for
your
question.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Councilmember
johnson.
R
R
I
know
it's
really
easy
to
say
you
know
our
city
isn't
resting,
so
I'm
not
gonna
rest
and
to
have
that
kind
of
an
attitude,
but
we're
also
all
human,
and
there
are
limitations
to
our
own
ability
to
work
literally
non-stop
or
without
food
or
without
sleep
or
in
extreme
high
stress
situations.
And
so
I
think
it
is
important
to
be
intentional
both
as
leaders
as
the
folks
on
this
call
are
and
as
well
for
a
workforce
to
ensure
that
they're
getting
that
kind
of
support
that
they
need.
R
B
Councilmember
johnson-
and
I
I
just
also
want
to
highlight
chief
tyner's
presentation
of
that
awareness
as
well,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
highlighting
that
we
do
have
our
chief
human
resources
officer
online
patience,
ferguson.
She
is
heading
up,
a
group
that
is
specifically
and
only
focusing
on
employee
health,
so
patients,
if
you
could
take
over,
I
appreciate
it.
S
Thank
you
so
very
much,
thank
you,
so
very
much
councilmember
johnson
for
continuing
to
remember
the
work
that
we
are
doing
and
that
our
employees
are
doing
so.
We,
as
mark
mentioned
our
council,
excuse
me
as
city
coordinator
rough
mentioned.
We
have
started
a
cross-departmental
work
group
that
is
tasked
to
identifying
the
support
that
is
needed
to
really
support
the
employees
in
our
enterprise
and
where
we
are
now
is
we
just
actually
today
sent
out
a
survey
to
all
of
our
employees.
S
Excuse
me
to
our
directors
and
our
employee
resource
groups
and
part
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
find
out
what
current
resources
that
we
have
and
then
the
next
step
of
that
is
to
then
look
at
what
are
some
additional
resources
that
we
need,
so
that
survey
actually
went
out
today
and
then
we're
going
to
also
have
some
listening
sessions.
We're
meeting
weekly.
We
have
a
timeline
that
coincides
with
all
of
the
different
kinds
of
things
are
going
to
happen
on
the
preparation,
all
the
way
up
to
the
trial
and
then
afterwards.
S
So
we
also
are
working
with
communications
to
identify
multiple
strategies.
I
will
be
getting
back
some
additional
data
from
our
employees
and
then
different
departments
have
other
employee,
employee
groups
over
and
beyond
the
employment
resource
groups.
So
we
hope
to
get
that
data
back
by
friday
and
then
we're
going
to
then
see
what
are
some
of
the
other
resources
that
we
need
to
to
do
to
support
our
employees.
Recognizing
that
number
one
is
not
an
it's,
not
a
one-size-fits-all
approach
and
that
we
need
to
be
very
responsive.
R
R
T
Thank
you,
coordinator,
ruff.
Thank
you
overall
for
for
gathering
all
this
information
and
being
able
to
do
the
q.
A
with
my
colleagues.
I
think
a
lot
of
information
has
come
forth
from
many
different
angles.
I
will
just
make
sure
that,
in
the
spirit
of
making
sure
that
we're
always
out
there
with
our
resources,
limited
as
they
they
may
be
to
those
who
need
it
the
most
and
in
that
I
just
want
to
make
a
real,
quick
question
around
our
unhoused
population.
T
What
sort
of
strategies
we
might
have
had
in
place
and
then
for
purposes
of
people
who
are
informally
or
formal
kind
of
leaders
or
liaisons
with
those
populations
who
might
they
look
to
specifically
from
the
city
as
a
resource
for
information
or
a
situation
arises?
Do
we
have
anyone
specific
or
or
do
we
have
a
sort
of
a
consortium
of
people
who
are
in
that
field
specific
to
that
population?.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
reich.
I
know
this
has
been
an
active
conversation
among
our
city
staff
in
cped,
in
the
housing
policy
area
and
as
well
as
the
county
staff
who
are
primarily
working
with
our
own
house
population.
So
if
andrea
brennan
is
on
the
line,
I
would
ask
her
to
respond.
If
not
again,
it's
one
of
those
that
we
can
follow
up
in
writing
to
you
as
council
members
as
well
so
director
brian.
U
Yes
sure
thank
you
mark.
Thank
you,
councilmember
reich.
I
will
just
say
that
we
probably
should
follow
up
in
writing.
We
are
in
the
process
of
having
conversations
with
county
staff
and
as
well
as
shelter
providers
and
other
our
outreach
teams
to
identify
a
contingency
planning
for
people
who
may
be
unsheltered
in
the
event
that
there
is.
There
are
circumstances
that
could
jeopardize
further
jeopardize
the
health
and
well-being
of
folks
who
are
outside
in
the
event
that
anything
happens.
So
we
we
are.
This
is
our
radar.
U
B
I
And
thank
you
so
much
for
that
question.
Councilmember
johnson,
I'm
sorry
I
was
multitasking
and
on
another
call.
At
the
same
time.
Yes,
there
have
been
conversations.
There
are
conversations
going
on
with
philanthropy
and
others
on
the
notions
of
setting
up
healing
spaces,
amongst
other
supports
for
community
they're,
not
in
a
place
that
I
can
give
you
any
more
details
on
that.
I
R
Thanks-
and
I
guess
I'd
put
in
a
request,
then,
through
working
in
partnership
between
the
health
department
and
the
communications
department,
to
really
make
sure
that
there
are
mental
health
resources
included
in
city
communications.
I
know
that
both
cdc
fema-
they
have
web
pages
that
detail
how
to
really
take
care
of
yourself
emotionally
mentally
during
really
difficult,
traumatic
experiences.
R
They've
got
the
best
practices
already
out
there.
So
there's
really
not
a
need
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
It's
information
I
shared
out
with
constituents
last
summer
and
would
be
happy
to
share
resources
as
well,
but
I
think
it's
really
critical
information
to
get
out
there
and
it
should
be
part
of
the
communications
out
to
the
public.
O
Thank
you
mark.
I
I
just
wanted
to
really
quickly
acknowledge
that
I
know
that
david
rubidor
sort
of
came
and
took
the
institutional
fall
for
the
for
the
influencer
thing,
but
I
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
a
lot
of
folks
saw
that
language
you
know
and
and
for
whatever
reason,
didn't
register
that
it
was
it
was.
O
It
was
such
a
bad
idea
and
and
that
doesn't
that
failure
doesn't
fall
on
one
particular
department
of
department
head
and
so
just
wanted
to
sort
of
just
toss
that
out
there
and
and
say
you
know
we
all
sort
of
owe
our
our
our
it's
a
relatively
small
deal,
especially
since
we're
not
moving
forward
with
the
program
anymore,
but
that
we
all
sort
of
owe
our
our
respective
apologies
to
you
to
our
communities
over
that
and
then.
Lastly,
I
I
did
want
to
acknowledge
real
quick.
B
So
thank
you
all
for
the
time,
thanks
to
our
residents
to
our
businesses,
who
are
paying
attention
in
as
we've
discussed
today,
it's
really
going
to
be
our
our
community,
who
is
going
to
be
the
ones
who
are
bringing
forth
the
positive
energy,
the
things
that
we
can
celebrate
as
a
community
in
terms
of
how
we
come
together.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
encouraging
words
and
have
a
wonderful
day.
