Thank
you,
president
cogill
and
commissioners.
It's
great
to
see

equipped
bright
ice
garden
and
northeast
ice
arena
with
wi-fi
connected
lift
zones
to
improve
internet
access
at
the
sites
for
youth.
So
another
great
addition
to
our
expansion
of
wi-fi.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
Aquatics
continues
to
host
lifeguard
classes
weekly
at

The
ac
staff
is
splitting
their
time
between
recruiting
interviews
and
hiring
for
summer
of
2021
with
coaching
the
junior

G
Aquatics

proud
to
be

1156
available
registration
spots

at
our
key
hubs
of

and
worth
we
hope
to
reach
as
many

as
possible
to
bring
water
safety
and
drowning
prevention
to
the
surface.
For
summer
2021,
adult
athletics,
adult
sports
leagues,
are
kicking

Golf
despite
uneven
weather
over
the
past
few
weeks.
G
Golf
continues
to
perform
well
and
demand
is
high.
We
are
currently
at
almost
17
000
rounds.
A
number
we
did
not
hit
until
mid-may
of
2020.,
so
golf
has
continued
to
do
really.
Well,
you
sports.
We
are
working
to
recruit
youth
and
generate
interest
in
youth,
baseball
and
softball.
For
this
upcoming
season,
staff
introduced
the
sports
of
quickball
to
a
group
of
kids
at
potterhorn
park.
Quickball
is
a
fun
fast-paced,
game
of
baseball
or
softball
and
uses
foam
balls
with
a
plastic.
Bat
players
run
the
bases
after
one
swing
regardless.
G
If
they
hit
the
ball
or
not,
the
game
teaches
life
skills
such
as
communication
teamworks
and
sportsmanship.
Each
participant
received
a
baseball
cap
and
a
baseball
card
for
attending.
There
was
an
attachment
or
a
slide
with
this
one
visual,
but
I'm
not
sure
I
don't
see
it
up
there.
So
I
apologize
rek
plus

The
concept
plan
is
based
on
community
input
from

last

neighborhood
meetings
and
a
pop-up
park
event.

G
The
next
section
I
want
to
quickly
go
through
and
is
a
grand
staudation
program.
Collaboration
first
quarter
update
my
apology.
Last
time
we
were
asked
quickly
to
present
something
and
I
kind
of
rambled
through,
but
I
want
to
give
a
quick
update
to
this
board
on
a
quarterly
basis,
and
this
would
be
my
quick
update
on
the
grants,
donation
and
program
collaboration
work.
G
The
first
thing
which
you're
quite
you're
aware
of
you're,
aware
of
is
the
youth
prize.
We
are
awarded
259
thousand
dollars
for
2021
through
2023
for
expanding
reach
and
effectiveness
of
existing
culturally
relevant
street
outreach
efforts,
adding
outreach
hours
connecting
youth
to
resources,
workforce
training
and
employment
and
engaging
youth
in
developing
their
own
solutions
to
address
violent
crime,
trainings
provided
by
youth
prize
mentor,
minnesota
and
search
institute.
G
We
also
put
a
grant
in
for
the
minnesota
department
of
human
resources.
Homeless
assistants
submitted
proposals
for
174
thousand
dollars,
almost
175
thousand
dollars
for
funding
for
outreach
encampments
in
2021
and
2022..
G
This
work
is
strictly
for
those
two
years
to
support
street
reach
for
six
street
reach,
folks
that
they
can
focus
on
any
issues
arising
and
encampments.
That
way,
our
other
street
reach
teams
that
are
more
focused
on
youth
can
do
that
work
around
youth.
So
this
expands
that
work
and
gives
us,
hopefully
those
dollars
so
that
that
street
reach
team
can
provide
services
and
outreach
to
any
encampments
or
tents
that
do
appear
in
our
park
system.
G
Strictly
again
for
street
reach
people
for
parks,
we
submitted
a
proposal
for
somali
traditional
games
for
ten
thousand
dollars.
The
awards
will
be
announced
in
early
june
also
for
people
for
parks.
We
submit
a
proposal
for
rec
plus
swimming
lessons
for
harrison
and
weber,
or
six
thousand
thirty
dollars
awards
will
be
announced.
In
early
june.
G
We
also
americorps
we
awarded
americorps
members
to
work.
We
were
awarded
americorps
members
to
work
with
papa
parks
for
outreach
to
teens
from
june
7th
to
august
14th
2021.
G
The
members
will
receive
3
750
stipend
and
a
1
311
education
award
from
americorps
npr
receives
invaluable
full-time
help
for
10
weeks
this
summer,
so
very
excited
about
that.
We
just
got
that
awarded
and
a
great
work
around
that
we're
also
looking
heidi
is
also
working
on
creating
a
database
for
the
minnesota
top
foundations
and
corporate
giving
program
that
is
ongoing.
G
We
also
the
work
that
is
being
done
by
our
grants
and
donations.
Persons
drafted
guidelines
for
scholarship
requirements,
and
that
is
the
recreation
division,
is
reviewing
and
editing
and
approving
those
guidelines
that
were
created
working
with
the
campaign
committee
working
with
program,
innovations
and
public
relations
staff
to
prepare
and
launch
an
active
net
for
donations,
which
will
support
our
scholarship
funding,
so
very
excited
about
those
two
pieces
being
coming
together
and
it's
great
work
around
that
program.
G
Collaboration,
real
quick
update,
comcast
lift
zones
working
with
comcast
staff
and
its
for
the
installation
of
lift
zones,
enhanced
wi-fi
at
42,
recreation,
centers
and
other
nprb
facilities
also
developed
the
standards
for
programming
for
lift
zones.
G
G
Six
hundred
three
dollars
for
spring
summer
and
fall
programs
also
she
created
a
program
proposal
working
with
its
and
program
innovations
to
put
into
digital
format
and
to
create
digital
reporting
evaluation.
Summer
summary,
so
that's
a
quick
update
on
the
grants
work
that
heidi
hope
has
been
doing,
and
I
wanted
to
update
the
board
and
we'll
update
the
board
quarterly
on
the
work
that's
being
done
by
by
our
by
her
work.
At
this
point,
let's
turn
over
to
director
weissman
for
a
financial
update
on
the
coroner
virus
and
the
pandemic
covet
19.
H
H
Before
our
general
fund
at
this
point,
what
do
we,
what
we
are
projecting
for
year
end
is
basically
what
we
have
a
budgeted.
H
So
our
experience
last
year
taught
us
that
our
property
tax
levels
should
probably
come
in
as
budgeted
so
we're
showing
that
also
with
local
government
aid
projections
coming
out
of
the
state
are
favorable,
and
we
project
that
again
this
year
we
will
receive
a
hundred
percent
of
our
local
government
aid.
So
the
covet
impact,
as
we
all
know,
is
really
in
the
fees,
fines
and
other
revenue.
H
We
are
currently
showing
the
three
million
dollar
impact
to
those
fees,
fines
and
other
revenues.
We
will
need
to
monitor
that
closely
throughout
the
year
and
that
is
a
dollar
amount
that
would
be
adjusted
downward
if
we
feel
we
need
to
just
to
remind
you
that
in
2020
we
received
6.4
million
dollars
for
fees,
fines
and
other
revenue
and
we're
currently
projecting
our
year
in
and
for
2021
to
be
higher
at
8.4
million.
H
We
do
know
we
are
going
to
start
receiving
some
covet
relief
dollars
from
the
state
of
minnesota
for
our
rec
plus
sites,
as
we
did
last
year
on
the
expense
side.
You'll
see
that
we
are
20
expended
this
year
last
year.
At
this
time
we
were
22
expended,
so
we're
we're
in
alignment
with
our
expenditures.
H
H
H
So
our
available
fund
balance
as
we
ended
2020,
is
a
significant
dollar
or
our
fund
balance.
To
start
with
is
9
million.
We
have
our
fund
balance
requirement
of
five
percent.
H
We
have
our
prior
year
excess
fund
balance
allocations,
and
then
we
have
the
2.8
million
dollars
of
excess
fund
balance
allocations
that
this
board
approved
in
february,
so
that
leaves
an
available
fund
balance
of
1.3
million
dollars
going
forward
next
slide,
please
in
our
enterprise
fund,
you
can
see
that
golf
did
open
up
in
march,
and
so
we
are
reflecting
golf
rounds
through
the
end
of
march,
which
we
weren't
able
to
open
last
year.
So
golf
revenues
are
ahead
of
where
we
were
last
year
and
we
will
continue
to
watch
that
next
slide.
Please.
H
In
the
other
for
use
in
events
permitting,
you
can
see
the
impacts
of
koben
where
we
have
a
smaller
revenue
generation
in
the
first
quarter
this
year
compared
to
last
year.
You
also
see
that
we
have
a
lower
expenses,
as
we
have
held
positions
vacant
due
to
kobed
in
that
area
and
then
you'll
see
parking.
H
H
H
Revenues
for
the
sculpture
garden
are
up
just
slightly
and
again
in
in
our
budget
for
the
enterprise
fund,
we
budgeted
the
copit
impacts
as
a
lump
sum,
and
we
are
showing
a
million
dollar
potential
use
of
enterprise
fund
reserves
to
cope.
A
It
is
open
time
we
have
five
individuals
signed
up
to
address
the
board
open
time
is
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
address
the
board
on
any
topic.
They
wish
it's
the
opportunity
for
the
board
to
listen
and
we
allow
for
for
individuals
to
speak
on
any
topic.
We
just
ask
that
you
refrain
from
using
any
discriminatory
or
harassing
language
and
refrain
from
discussing
any
pending
personnel
matters.
A
Yes,
I
can
hear
you
and
you
have
one
minute
to
address
the
board
and
you
may
begin
now.
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
comments,
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
on
april
10th
my
partner
and
I
were
at
minnehaha
falls
doing
frisbee
golf.
I
Our
dog
became
off
leash
and
because
we
were
playing
with
her
she's,
a
puppy
and
three
park
patrol
came
up
with
so
a
total
of
six
individuals
park
patrol
were
there
and
asked
him
to
identify
himself,
and
it
was
very
sim
symbolic
of
the
things
that
are
going
on
here
and
our
need
to
address
equity
within
policing,
and
I
think
the
minneapolis
parks
board
has
a
responsibility
to
address
this
in
their
equity
action
plan,
which
I
examined
prior
to
this,
and
if
we
want
true
equity
in
access
to
parks,
it's
essential
that
people
are
not
discriminated
against
in
their
attending
and
in
violations
or
any
sort
of
matter
within
the
park
system
and
within
policing
of
those
park
systems.
I
So
I
think
this
is
something
that
is
is
a
much
larger
issue,
but
I
do
think
this
should
be
addressed
in
the
equity
action
plan
that
the
parks
board
created.
A
Yes,
thomas,
we
can
hear
you,
you
may
go
ahead.
You
have
one
minute
to
address
the
board.
J
Perfect
board
of
commissioners.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening.
My
name
is
thomas
neary
and
I
live
in
cuomo
adjacent
to
the
university
of
minnesota,
where
I
am
a
student
and
throughout
the
last
three
months
I've
been
engaged
in
the
student
project,
with
a
focus
on
two
issues
that
afflict
minneapolis's
urban
environment,
urban.
K
J
J
Studies
have
shown
that
parking
lots
are
notorious
for
directing
runoff
pollutants
into
local
waterways
and
heating
up
the
area
around
them.
So
our
proposal
calls
for
about
40
a
40
tree
cover
mandate
over
park
parking
lot,
which
is
pretty
self-explanatory,
and
this
combined
with
increased
non-automobile
accessibility
to
park
areas,
can
improve
the
issues
of
urban
heat
island
effect
and
runoff
solution
to
minneapolis
over
time.
J
So
with
that,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
hope
that
you
guys
consider
this
proposal.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
testimony,
thomas
and,
if
you
have
questions
of
who
you'd
want
to
submit
any
items
to
you
can
follow
up
with
emily
rousseau,
who
you,
who,
who
can
connect
with
you
with
any
individuals
who
wanna
share
any
information
that
you
have
to
circulate.
A
Our
next
speaker
is
zach.
Patterson
is
zach.
F
Awesome,
thank
you
well
board
of
commissioners
again.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
to
you
this
evening.
My
name
is
zach
peterson
and,
like
thomas
I'm
also
a
student
at
the
university
of
minnesota.
I
mostly
want
to
reiterate
his
points
about
our
thoughts
on
the
comprehensive
plans.
As
I'm
sure
you
all
know,
our
cities
are
getting
warmer
due
to
climate
change
and
as
our
parks
act
as
our
green
spaces
to
cool
down
our
urban
heat
island.
F
F
That's
mainly
why
we
want
to
see
this
48
minimum
tree
cover
as
a
goal
to
work
towards
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
it's
40,
because
new
new
studies
out
of
madison
wisconsin
show
that
impervious
services
like
parking
lots
need
at
least
40
percent
tree
cover
to
really
reduce
their
impact
on
urban
island
over
the
course
of
this
semester.
Basically,
our
group
has
really
been
committed
to
the
addition
of
the
school
we've
talked
to
commissioner
meyer,
cliff
swenson,
madeline
kudek,
basically
asking
as
many
people
as
we
can
to
see
the
effectiveness
of
this.
F
We
know
that
cost
is
usually
prohibitive
when
it
comes
to
achieving
goals
and
plans,
but
we
would
like
to
at
least
see
the
addition
so
that,
when
the
board
has
funds,
they
can
work
towards
this
percentage.
A
L
L
L
A
Thank
you
diane
for
your
comments
and
we
will
have
staff
follow
up
with
you
regarding
this
request.
A
Our
next
speaker,
I
think
our
final
speaker
for
open
time
is
tony
kelly.
Do
we
have
tony
on
the
line?
Yes,
they
are.
E
A
M
All
right,
thank
you
very
much,
president
president
cogill
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
tony
kelly:
I'm
the
business
manager
of
laborers
local
363
here
in
minneapolis,
representing
a
great
deal
of
parkour
employees,
I'm
also
the
chair
of
the
minneapolis
board
of
business
agents
and
also
the
labor
chair
of
the
labor
management
committee
at
the
park
board.
It's
with
a
good
deal
of
anxiety
that
I
read
about
resolution
2021-194.
M
It
establishes
a
link
between
the
park
board
and
green
minneapolis
to
develop
a
carbon
offset
program.
It
sounds
promising,
but
I've
seen
public
private
partnerships
come
and
go
before
and
my
experience
with
them
both
as
a
former
parks
employee
as
a
current
labor
leader,
hasn't
always
been
positive.
M
What
sounds
like
an
amazing
value
proposition
at
the
outset,
can
quickly
devolve
into
some
serious
cleanup
activity
and
it's
always
the
public
agency
that
ends
up
holding
the
bag
at
the
end
because
of
bad
assumptions
or
analyses
that
that
weren't
closely
scrutinized
at
the
front
end
too
frequently,
labor
standards
and
economic
access
to
the
middle
class
become
eroded.
M
The
labor
value
here
is
for
the
park
board
to
establish
its
own
capacity,
use
the
tools
within
its
own
toolbox
to
expand
the
tree
levy,
for
example,
and
use
any
other
means
at
its
disposal
to
extend
its
own
capacity.
Thank
you.
A
That
concludes
our
speakers
for
open
time
this
evening
and
I
will
return
to
director
wiseman's
financial
report
update
so
director
wiseman
back
to
you.
H
Thank
you.
So
we
were
in
the
enterprise
fund,
and
so
all
of
the
areas
of
the
enterprise
fund
create
our
net
our
net
income,
and
we
are
projecting
our
net
income
for
2021
to
be
just
under
2
million.
H
That
net
income
then
is
used
for
improvements,
our
debt
service
payments,
both
for
pension,
murph
pensions
and
debt
service,
and
so
you
will
see
that
at
this
point
we
are
projecting
a
1.4
million
dollar
negative
balance
which
would
correlate
to
the
use
of
reserves.
H
On
this
slide,
I
do
not
show
the
reserve
balance
of
the
enterprise
fund,
yet
as
it
is
currently
being
reviewed
and
audited
by
the
auditors
as
soon
as
we
have
the
final
figure
for
our
fund
balance,
I
will
share
that
with
the
board
next
slide.
Please!
So
now,
I'm
just
gonna
quickly.
Do
an
encampment
financial
update
next
slide.
H
I
wanted
to
circle
back
with
the
board,
because
I
I
had
not
provided
a
year-end
snapshot
of
the
encampment
financials,
so
this
gives
us
a
report.
Through
december
31st,
we
received
332
000
from
the
state
in
support
for
our
expenses.
H
H
At
this
point,
as
of
march
31st,
we
have
accrued
expenses
just
under
4
000,
as
there
were
some
there
was.
The
minnehaha
falls
encampment
that
we
were
providing
services
for
yet
in
january,
we
do
have.
I
have
carried
over
the
fourteen
thousand
dollar
easement
amount
balance,
so
that's
available
for
2021,
and
then
this
board,
through
their
adoption
of
the
general
fund
access
fund
balance
resolution,
allocated
an
additional
25
000.
H
We
do
have
general
fund
expenses
that
we
are
incurring
that's
both
for
the
community
connections
and
community
connection
department
and
then
also
legal
bills
associated
with
the
encampments
and
that's
the
end
of
my
report.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
director,
wiseman,
I'm
looking
for
questions
from
commissioners.
I
think
I
had
a
couple
of
hands
raised.
Commissioner
music,
did
you
still
have
a
question.
N
I
do
thank
you
very
much,
president
cogill,
for
allowing
me
to
speak
earlier.
It
was
mentioned
that
we're
offering
weekly
lifeguard
trainings,
but
the
ones
that
we
have
available
are
full
and
there
aren't
any
scheduled
out
beyond
the
last
weekend
in
april.
So
I'm
wondering,
if
we'll
be,
adding
additional
training
opportunities
for
youth
to
sign
up
to
become
lifebars.
O
O
Unfortunately,
I
am
not
prepared
to
answer
that
tonight,
but
I
certainly
can
get
it
to
you
before
we
before
we
finish
this
meeting.
Hopefully
thank
you.
A
P
Thank
you.
President
cole.
Gill,
thanks
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today,
got
a
few
questions
about
golf
in
the
enterprise
fund.
If
julie
could
help
me
understand
a
few
things
or
just
clarify
it
for
the
general
public,
what
were
the
2020
revenues
for
golf.
Q
P
H
H
P
Okay,
it's
true
that
we
lost
night
hold
at
columbia
and
but
we
still
started
a
month
early
and
we
have
the
highest
rounds
that
we've
had
in
years.
I'm
just
concerned
that
these
projections
might
mislead
the
general
public
with
some
of
the
board
members
and
and
and
how
some
may
feel
about
golf.
P
H
So
again
we
have.
The
enterprise
fund
is
the
enterprise
fund
as
a
whole,
and
so
we
will
have
other
areas
of
the
enterprise
fund
that
potentially
will
lose
or
have
a
negative
net
income
this
year.
So
the
areas
that
have
a
positive
net
income
help
offset
the
areas
that
have
a
negative
net
income
and
then
jennifer.
If
you
can
go
to
the
last
slide
for
the
enterprise
fund,
please.
H
Yep
this
one
and
it
also
again
whatever
the
net
income
is.
We
have
some
significant
things
that
we
are
funding
already
this
year,
we've
got
1.9
million
dollars
in
improvements
and
part
of
that
is
the
bidet
makaska
and
there's
other
improvements
built
in
there.
We
have
our
increase
to
the
debt
service
amount
for
parades,
so
anything
that
so
right
now
we're
projecting
that
we
might
actually
use
fund
reserves
rather
than
add
to
the
fund
reserves.
P
P
Is
it
fair
to
say
without
golf
doing
as
well
as
it
is
that
we
would
be
hurting?
Well,
would
the
enterprise,
even
the
enterprise
fund,
even
exist,
or
would
it
be
functional.
H
Commissioner
severson
president
colgall
the
enterprise
I
I
can't.
I
guess
I
can't
answer
that
there
are
years
when
golf
loses
money,
and
there
are
years
when
gulf
rate
has
a
positive
net
income.
When
you're
talking
about
the
sustainability
of
the
fund
as
a
whole.
It's
it's
all
of
its
parts,
not
any.
P
H
P
All
right
one
last
question:
why
did
the
debt
service
go
up
from
700
000
to
1.3
million.
H
That
is
the
restructuring
of
the
parade
debt
so
for
our
debt
service,
when
we
took
on
the
parade
debt,
we
we
also
had
the
niemann
debt,
and
so
it
was
the
restructuring.
Now
that
the
neem
and
debt
has
fallen
off,
we
are
now
paying
more
towards
our
debt
service
on
the
parade
site
for
the
parade
improvements.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
stevenson.
Commissioner
bourne.
R
Thank
you,
president
cogill
just
for
clarification.
This
is
this
is
not
just
on
director
wiseman's
presentation.
This
is
to
the
superintendent's
entire
report.
Is
that
the
appropriate?
Is
this
the
appropriate
time
to
ask
questions
on
the
entire
report.
R
R
R
S
R
H
R
H
R
And
that's
the
capital
improvements
that
were
delayed
last
year,
got
it,
got
it
correct,
so
so
for
just
talking
about
operating,
so
the
entire
enterprise
fund
every
function
in
the
enterprise
fund
actual
last
year
budget
this
year,
8.7
correct
going
back
to,
but
revenues
are
11.3
last
year
we're
budgeting
to
is
so.
It
sounds
like
the
entire
fund.
R
8.7
million
is
across
the
entire
fund
for
expenses,
but
it
looks
like
golf
has
between
six
to
a
conservative
estimate.
Six
last
year's
actuals
were
seven
point
almost
four,
so
it
looks
like
operation.
The
revenues
from
golf
are
covering
virtually
the
entire
enterprise
fund
for
operating
last
year,
and
then
probably
this
year
too,.
H
R
Perfect,
okay,
then,
the
the
debt
service
is
more
of
just
a
comment,
and
I
think
I
understand
how
that
works,
but
but
I
know
that
we
have
so
so
we're
shifting
more
debt
service
out
of
the
general
fund
into
enterprise
is
that
is
that,
right
from
the
from
parade.
H
R
The
I
I'll
ask
you
an
offline
set.
I
know
I
you
and
I
butted
heads
a
little
bit
a
few
years
ago
over
the
neiman
restructuring,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
that
before
before
I
go
any
further
on
that.
So
thank
you,
director
wiseman.
My
other
questions
are
for
superintendent,
bangora
and.
R
All
three
really
briefly,
and
then
you
can
respond
to
them
in
whichever
order
is
there
an
update
on
the
bell
and
wheel
from
the
minneapolis?
R
Last
week
I
I
heard
I
heard
the
grants
update
that
that
you
just
gave
superintendent.
It
seems
like
great
work
at
our
last
meeting.
I
asked
if
you
could
also
provide
the
number
of
grants
that
we
had
received
historically
to
date,
and
you
said
you
would
be
able
to
provide
that
and
I
got
on
the
call
late.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that
was
presented,
but
it
didn't
look
like
it
was
and
then
with
parkway
closures.
I'm
just
wondering.
R
Has
there
been
any
effort
since
our
last
resolution
to
reach
out
to
the
minneapolis
council
the
minneapolis
advisory
committee
on
people
with
disabilities?
R
We
had
made
some
assertions
that
the
resolution
that
we
made
was
great
for
folks
with
accessibility
issues,
but
there
wasn't
any
reaching
out
to
the
groups
that
to
the
constituency
groups
that
represented
them.
So
I'm
just
looking
to
see
if
staff
have
had
any
contact
with
that
advisory
committee.
Yet.
G
President
commissioner,
born
president
coghill
or
president
obama,
the
bell
and
wheel
we're
moving
along
very
well.
With
that
I've
contacted
worked
with
mr
ward
and
dr
peterson.
We
have
agreed
upon
a
a
very
structured
way
of
that.
We
would
be
working
together
to
get
the
bell
and
wheel
back
over
to
the
park
board.
G
We
have
a
plan
in
place.
We
are
now
working
through
that
with
mr
ward
and
with
dr
peterson
we're
all
in
agreement.
The
bell
and
wheel
will
be
coming
back
to
the
park
board,
we're
now
working
on
just
the
timing
of
it.
With
that.
We
have
some
things
that
we
do
for
engineering
around
the
mass,
that's
epidemic
and
the
wheel
being
over
at
headquarters
and
where
to
be
placed
so
right
now
we're
creating
that
document
around
the
timing,
planning
and
assistant
superintendent.
G
Michael,
I'm
sorry,
michael
schroeder
have
been
working
diligently
on
putting
together
a
plan
to
bring
that
forward,
and
so
we
are
working
through
that.
We
also
have
a
resolution
we'll
be
coming
forward
in
agreement
with
the
american
legion.
That,
mr
ward,
has
very
respectfully,
really
approves
the
award
a
lot
of
the
resolution,
along
with,
of
course,
dr
peterson,
in
recognition
of
the
care
that
they
did
have,
for
that
particular
the
wheel
and
the
belt
and
the
restoration
of
it.
So
we're
moving
along
very
well.
It's
just
a
matter
of
time.
G
Now
before
we
get
that
back
in
our
possession
and
again
we
will
update
the
board
as
that
moves
forward.
But
I
want
to
stress
and
say
again
that
the
work
has
been
done.
They
are
in
cooperation
with
both
mr
ward
and
dr
peterson
and
we
are
all
in
agreement
and
they
will
be
coming
back
to
the
park
board.
G
But
again
we
will
present
that
to
the
board.
As
soon
as
we
get
everything
ready
to
go
forward
the
grants
we
will
be
presenting
that
information.
Commissioner,
born
that
you
asked
for
to
be
coming
during
our
board
retreat.
We
are
working
with
that.
We
did
not
forget
that
my
apologies
for
not
bringing
that
up
during
the
presentation.
G
With
our
first
quarter
presentation
around
the
grants,
donation
and
program
collaboration
position.
We
will
bring
that
forward
to
you,
commissioner,
born
with
the
last
five
years
that
you
requested,
so
we
have
not
forgotten
that
the
staff
is
working
on
that.
We
will
have
that
for
you
and
we
will
give
that
report
to
you
during
our
board.
Retreat
during
the
budget
retreat
parkway
closures.
I
have
not
personally
met
with
the
minneapolis
advisory
committee.
I
have
not
personally
met
with
them
and
that's
something
that
I
can
do
immediately.
G
If,
commissioner
bourne,
if
you
could
tell
me
who
the
contact
would
be,
I
would
call
them
immediately
tomorrow
and
and
and
and
have
that
conversation
with
them.
R
Thank
you,
superintendent.
I
have
a
motion
here
while
I've
I've
properly
obtained
the
floor,
but
I
do
want
to
just
say
superintendent.
I
really
really
appreciate
you
picking
up
the
phone
and
having
a
conversation
with
mr
ward
and
dr
peterson
as
opposed
to
just
tweeting
at
them,
and
it
sounds
like
diplomacy
may
have
won
the
won
the
day
here
it
has
so.
R
While
I
have
the
floor,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
for
the
purposes
of
considering
the
following
resolution,
the
resolution
is
be
it
resolved
that
all
future
temporary
parkway
closures
be
done
with
the
advice
and
consultation
of
the
minneapolis
advisory
committee
on
people
with.
A
Disabilities,
there
is
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
on
the
floor
for
the
purposes
of
introducing
a
resolution.
There
has
been
a
motion
in
a
second
to
do
so.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
suspending
the
rules.
N
A
R
E
F
T
U
A
That
motion
fails
any
other
questions
very
unfortunate
before.
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
the
superintendent?
Regarding
his
report.
A
I'm
not
seeing
any.
I
will
move
on
here
with
the
agenda
and
ask
for
a
motion
on
the
consent
agenda.
I
F
T
C
R
R
I
think
that
was
an
initiative
of
superintendent
miller
and
there
just
weren't
a
whole
lot
of
return
to
dollars,
as
I'm
looking
at
the
as
I'm
looking
at
the
background
materials
for
this,
I'm
not
like
the
days
of
having
something
earmarked
specifically
for
an
organization
like
the
park
board
are
really
over
federal
funds
come
in
the
form
of
grants
that
would
then
be
applied
for
through
an
open
and
transparent
process
on
some
of
the
legislative
things
I'm
wondering
if
we've
had
it
had
any
conversations
with
congresswoman
omar's
office
to
see
what
her
office
could
carry.
R
This
just
really
seems
like
we're,
taking
a
step
to
the
battle
days
of
a
federal
lobbying
contract
that
that
for
years
had
proven
to
be
ineffective,
and
so
I
I'm
certainly
not
going
to
be
supporting
this.
I
think
we
could
do
some.
I
think
we
could
do
as
much
or
better
work
with
working
with
our
igr
staff
and
working
through
congresswoman
omar's
office.
I
I
just
don't
see
the
need
to
expand
our
federal
lobbying
services
on
something
that
we're.
I
don't
see
us
getting
a
whole
lot
of
traction
on.
A
D
Thank
you,
president
coghill.
I
don't
know
the
history
of
this
before
I
got
on
the
board.
So
could
council
rice
possibly
provide
some
additional.
V
Just
for
context,
the
commissioner
bourne
is
right
that
under
superintendent
miller,
we
did
have
a
presence
at
the
federal
level.
I
do
think
there
were
some
results
there
on
the
urban
park
initiative,
perhaps
not
as
much
as
was
hoped.
V
I
do
think,
though,
that,
given
the
american
jobs
plan
that
president
biden
has
proposed
in
as
much
as
a
2.9
trillion
dollar
infrastructure
bill
over
a
period
of
I
believe
eight
years,
there's
some
merit
in
this
in
this
proposal,
and
I
do
think
commissioner
bourne-
I
I
concur
with
commissioner
born
about
talking
to
congress
women
omar's
office,
but
I
believe
that
they
are
bringing
the
democrats
in
the
house
have
some
are
contemplating
bringing
back
earmarks
of
some
form,
and
I
mean
ms
gokemeyer
might
be
able
to
address
that.
V
I
believe
the
staff
and
the
superintendent
have
had
a
plan
for
something
in
north
commons,
perhaps
as
meeting
her
criteria
as
well
as
cedar
riverside.
So-
and
I
would
say,
the
contract
is
pretty
modest,
I
think
the
under
superintendent
miller.
It
was
a
factor
of
maybe
four
times
as
large.
So
for
what
it's
worth,
I
think
there's.
I
think
that
we
we've
seen
a
pretty
significant
change
in
spending
at
the
federal
level,
at
least
the
potential
for
something
to
happen.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
fournier
I'm
gonna
call
in
commissioner
meyer
and
then
I
can
go
over
to
you
guys
hand
raised
here.
T
Yeah
I
spoke
against
this
in
committee
and
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
I
agree
with
what
commissioner
born
said.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
meyer,
mr
horny.
Oh,
that
was
pamela
my
fault,
ms
gokmeyer.
Did
you
want
to
speak.
W
What
commissioner
bourne
said
is
true
in
the
past
about
earmarks,
and
that
was
a
conversation
that
I
had
with
the
superintendent
before
the
new
administration
about
you
know
specific
funding,
for
you
know
the
park
board,
but
that
has
changed
this
year
with
the
new
administration
and
the
house
appropriations
chair,
rez
delauro,
rosa
delora
has
opened
up
they're,
not
calling
it
earmarking,
but
that's
in
essence
what
it
is
and
has
asked
members
to,
or
given
members
the
opportunity
to
submit
up
to
10
projects
for
community
funding,
and
we
did
speak
with
representative
omar's
office
a
few
weeks
ago
to
meet
that
deadline
for
submitting
projects
and
had
to
be
in
her
district
had
to
have
community
support,
and
we
did
talk
to
her
and
apply
for
possible
funding
for
north
commons
and
cedar
riverside
curry
park.
W
The
senate
is
expected
to
follow
suit
in
the
near
future
with
earmarking
our
community
funding
projects,
so
I
think,
there's
a
unique
opportunity
right
now
at
the
federal
level.
In
addition,
you
know
we
have
the
new
administration
change
in
senate
leadership.
W
I
don't
know
how
long
that
will
endure,
so
it's
kind
of
a
unique
opportunity
up
until
the
2022
election
cycle,
and
I
would
also
say
I
think
the
biden
administration
has
really
had
a
focus
and
desire
to
implement
projects
with
sustainable
and
equity
limbs.
And
I
think
it's
not
just
lip
service
and
they
are
truly
wanting
to
do
that.
And
I
think
that
the
park
word
that
our
priorities
are
really
well
suited.
For
that,
and
so
I
mean
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
opportunity.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
oakmeyer,
and
for
clarity.
Miss
cokemart
is,
is
the
contract
with
the
the
lobbyist
is
the
same
group
that
is
representing
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
a
similar
efforts?
Is
that
the
same.
W
A
R
Thank
you,
president
colgail.
I
I
think
I
heard
everything
I
I
needed
to
hear
from
from
pamela
and
brian
to
reaffirm
my
objection.
To
this
I
mean
it
sounds
like
we
had
an
opportunity
with
congresswoman
omar's
office
and
we
had
an
opportunity
to
submit
some
projects.
Those
are
now
submitted.
R
R
This
is
how
contracts
grow
and
get
buried
and
never
and
never
go
away
like
I
know
we're
saying
it's
an
interesting
opportunity
for
two
years:
it's
never
going
to
go
away,
it's
going
to
be
it
budget
after
budget
after
budget,
the
and,
frankly,
I
think,
between
the
relationships
with
our
delegation
and
the
skills
that
we
now
have
in
house.
I
pamela
part
of
the
justification
for
the
creation
and
and
sustaining
your
the
position
that
that
is
currently.
K
R
Was
the
savings
that
we
would
have
from
not
having
a
federal
lobbyist
and
now
we're
watching
that
now
we're
watching
that
creep
back
in
and
part
of
that
part
of
that
intergovernmental
work
plan
was
to
strengthen
the
relationship
with
our
federal
delegation
offices
here.
So
they
know
what
to
advocate
for
on
our
behalf.
R
So
it's
I
don't
see
how
giving
a
lobbyist
to
ten
thousand
dollar
check
out
of
multiple
contracts
that
they're
already
going
to
have
and
we're
just
gonna
get
so
little
attention
from
them
for
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
there
are
billions
of
dollars
at
stake
in
under
under
biden's
administration
like
I
just
don't
see
where
the
payoff
is
on
that.
So
so
again,
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
not
to
support
this.
I
think
we
can
find
a
better
use
for
ten
thousand
dollars.
A
G
Yeah,
thank
you,
president
cogill.
Just
real
briefly,
I
think
council,
rice
and
pamela
pamela
has
stated.
I
think
the
reason
why
we
had
a
deep
discussion
around
this.
I
would
not
take
dollars
and
expand
it
going
for
the
future.
With
this
board's
agreement,
the
ten
thousand
dollars
was
already
specifically
put
aside
for
this
use.
G
I
am
taking
that
ten
thousand
dollars
and
addressing
what
I
see
to
be
a
very
important
connection
to
the
federal
side,
because
pamela's
work
is
intergovernmental.
She
is
doing
the
work
across
the
organization
we
are
connected
to
our
delegation,
but
this
work
is
very
specific
to
where
we
look
at
the
great
outdoors
act.
We
look
at
earmarks
are
coming
up
to
have
someone
specifically
focused
on
that
to
help
them
guide
us
in
what
we
need
to
do
on
the
local
level.
With
our
delegation,
I've
been
working
with
many
different
across
the
country.
G
I
sit
on
the
cpa
board,
the
city
parks
alliance
board,
I've
been
connecting
with
a
lot
of
directors
and
people
that
are
running
major
park
systems
across
the
country.
This
is
not
unusual,
and
this
is
what
everybody
is
kind
of
moving
towards.
In
a
small
amount
to
see
what
they
can
do
and
how
they
can
be
at
the
table
and
leverage
these
things,
this
is
not
taking
away
from
the
work
that
we
are
currently
doing.
G
The
great
work
that
we
are
doing
within
our
team
that
currently
exists,
pamela
and
brian
and
frankie
they're
doing
great
work.
Of
course,
this
is
just
a
way
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
are
connected
to
what
is
happening
in
the
federal
level
and
in
particular,
around
earmarks
and
the
billions
of
dollars
are
coming
forward.
My
colleagues
in
my
roles
across
the
country
are
doing
small
things
to
make
sure
they're
connected.
I
sit
with
them
and
we
talk
through
this.
This
is
not
unusual.
G
We
want
to
be
at
the
table.
We
want
to
be
able
to
be
present
when
these
things
do
come
through
on
the
federal
level.
It's
not
a
lot
of
dollars
and
it's
it's
ten
thousand
dollars
that
was
put
aside
for
the
specific
role.
So
I
want
to
assure
the
board
that
I
would
not
do
anything
more
than
that
and
I
would
always
come
to
the
board
going
forward
to
think
that
it
would
grow.
It's
not
my
intent.
G
A
Thank
you,
superintendent.
You
know
I
I
too
have
had
concerns.
I
I'll
just
say
you
know
what
I'm
gonna
be
voting
yes
for
this,
based
upon
a
couple
of
things
mainly
that
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
congresswoman
omar's
office.
A
I
have
also
had
conversations
with
with
ms
gokemeyer
and
with
the
superintendent,
and
it
does
seem
like,
especially
because
this
group
is
connected
also
with
the
efforts
that
the
minneapolis
that
minneapolis
is
doing
itself,
that
the
the
delegation
can
kind
of
get
more
bang
for
it,
we're
getting
more
bang
for
our
buck
with
this
and
we're
we're
in
a
unique
year,
we've
already
passed
some
pretty
substantial
legislation
since
the
new
administration
came
into
power,
and
this
is
another
opportunity
with
a
pretty
substantial
potential
infrastructure
bill
that
I
think
warrants
warrants
this.
A
So
with
that
I'll
ask
the
secretary
to
take
the
rule
on
the
resolution.
E
U
A
That
does
not
carry
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
chair

I'll

thank
staff
for

putting
this

We
even
without
the
contract,
I
think,
still
are
in
a
very
unique
potential
situation
for
for
some
substantial
funding
for
our
system.
So
I
appreciate
the
work

U
P
I
appreciate
this
before
the
board
today.
I
have
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
my
community
around
some
of
this.
I
remember
meeting
with
three
families,
along
with
the
president
of
merck
and
having
bike
riders,
fly
down
the
hill
and
hurl
cuss
words
at
us,
because
we
were
in
their
effing
way.
So
I'm
happy
that
this
is
here
today
and
that
we're
gonna
have
more
conversations
and
possible
modifications
to
this
intersection.

C
R
Born,
thank
you,
president
cogill.
I
I've
been
I've,
read
the
background
material
on
this,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
it's
the
intent
of
the
motion
makers
to
address
commissioner
ethics
in
the
terms
of
like
violating
open
meeting
laws,
not
submitting
not
complying
with
minnesota
campaign
law
for
filing
mandatory
disclosures-
and
just
I
mean
I
see
a
lot
of
things
reflecting
our
our
community
advisory
committees
in
in
this
work.
But
but
it's
really
hard.
I
mean
it's.
R
It's
of
note
to
me
that
the
three
members
that
passed
this
out
of
committee
are
the
same
three
members
that
admitted
to
violating
minnesota,
open
meeting
law
in
the
development
of
last
year's
budget,
and
so
and-
and
I
I
had
asked
those
members
last
year,
if
they
wanted
to
if
they
would
be
willing
to
work
on
how
to
address
some
of
those
violations
of
minnesota,
open
meeting
law
and
and
they
each
one
of
them
to
a
number.
I
think
refused
at
the
time.
A
I
don't
know
who
that
was
directed
or
if
there's
any
response
from
anybody.
Commissioner,
music.
N
Thank
you,
president
khalil.
I'm
not
sure
if
that
question
was
directed
to
me
or
not,
but
as
the
initial
proposer
of
this
resolution
I
have
also
been
looking
into
codes
of
conduct
and
codes
of
ethics
and
government.
N
R
Thank
you,
commissioner
musa.
I
guess
that
said
I
I'm
I'm
glad
that
the
the
originator
of
this
wants
to
address
commissioner
violations
of
open
meeting
law
and
campaign
finance
violations,
and
just
our
our
own
code
of
ethics
and-
and
I
think
it's
really
hard
to
set
an
example.
R
If
there
is
behavior
that
we're
not
liking
to
see
on
committees,
I
mean
we
on
community
advisory
committees.
We
we
do
have
rules
already
to
the
conduct
and
expectation
of
commissioners
on
tax.
I
think
that
there's
an
orientation
for
committee
members
when
they're
on
tax
to
to
talk
about
that,
so
I
mean
I,
I
really
think
the
place
to
I
mean
I
would.
I
would
renew
the
invitation
to
work
on
this
in
stan
in
the
standards
and
conduct
committee.
R
If
the
commissioners
that,
for
example,
violated
open,
meeting
law
in
development
of
last
year's
budget
were
willing
to
we're
not
willing
to
work
on
the
consequences
of
their
own
violation
of
the
law,
but
are
interested
in
putting
ethics
enforcements
on
other
people,
I
mean
it's
just
it's
really
problematic.
R
I
mean
I
I
can't
be
I
I
support
the
work
that's
here,
but
I
just
really
think
the
place
for
that
is
in
standards
and
conduct,
and
I
think
it's
starting
with
our
own
violations
of
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
which
is
one
of
the
most
basic
covenants
that
we
all
agree
to
as
commissioners
with
our
with
our
oath
of
office.
So
I
I
can't
support
this
tonight,
but
I
I'm
appreciative
of
the
work
that's
happening
here
and
I'd
love
it
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
work
get
done.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
bourne
commissioner,
music.
N
We've
had
a
number
of
people
come
to
us
and
tell
us
that
the
community
advisory
committees
are
an
abusive
and
hostile
environment
for
them
to
work
in
and
because
no
one
chose
to
address
that
via
the
methods
that
were
in
place.
Those
situations,
I
think,
got
far
out
of
control,
far
further
out
of
control
than
they
needed
to,
and
and
what
I'm
trying
to
do
here
with
this
resolution
is
to
ensure
that
people
that
are
serving
in
a
volunteer
capacity
have
the
same
protections
as
our
staff
when
they
are
working
for
the
board.
N
A
E
A
R
This
would
be
the
second
time
correct.
Go
ahead,
commissioner.
Bourne.
Thank
you,
president
cogill,
and
I
I
again
appreciate
the
comments
from
the
fifth
district
commissioner.
But
again,
I
think,
there's
an
order
of
operations
and
we
can't
expect
other
people
to
behave
to
standards
that
we're
not
holding
ourselves
to
and
again,
I'm
appreciative
that
many
people
can
have
come
forward
about
the
our
community
advisory
committees.
R
Many
people
have
come
forward
over
the
violation
of
minnesota,
open
meeting
law
in
the
development
of
last
year's
budget
and
again
there
was
an
unwillingness
to
address
that
our
budget
is
a
hundred
million
dollar
question
and
what
agreements
were
made
behind
closed
doors
we
we
may
never
know
and
the
I.
I
just
think
that
we
have
the
highest
obligation
to
to
model
the
type
of
behavior
that
we
want
to
see
in
the
public
and
with
our
volunteers
and
not
a
not
a
do
what
I
say
not
as
I
do
policy.
R
R
R
I'm
appreciative
of
the
work
it's
it
just
feels,
I'm
sure
it's
not
disingenuous,
but
it
feels
a
little
disingenuous.
So
I
can't
I
I
can't
support
it
right
now.
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
fifth
district
commissioner
on
addressing
the
violations
to
minnesota,
openly
meeting
law
in
the
development
of
our
budget.
R
B
F
U
J
A
That
carries
returning
to
ours.

fault,

D
A
R
Thank
you,
president
cogel.
I'm
I'm
embarrassed
that
I
guess
I
wasn't
aware
that
we
had
a
reserve
fund
for
the
exclusive
capital
improvements
for
headquarters.
The
can
staff
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
existence
of
that
fund
and,
like
I
said,
it's
probably
an
embarrassing
question,
because
I,
if
it
exists,
I'm
sure
I
voted
for
its
creation,
but
I
am
not
familiar
with
it.
K
President
kogil,
I
can
respond
to
this.
The
the
fund
has
existed
since
actually
for
some
time.
It
is
that
the
funds
for
are
generated
through
the
rental
of
space
in
the
building.
K
For
a
long
time,
mint
tahoe
rented
space
in
the
building
than
it
was
certix
has
been
there
and
continues
to
be
there,
and
we
had
in
the
first
floor
in
the
same
space,
a
consulate
office
that
was
in
that
space,
and
so
those
funds
have
been
accruing.
K
We
have
used
them
previously
for
replacement
of
hvac
systems
on
the
roof.
I
think
that
was
either
last
summer
or
the
summer
before,
and
the
they've
been
useful
in
actually
keeping
the
building
the
building
functioning
for
an
office
space.
R
Thank
you,
assistant
superintendent.
Where
would
I
find
where
would
I
find
this
project
in
our
cip.
K
Go
ahead,
president
goldberg,
mr
bourne,
I
don't
believe
that
it's
actually
listed
in
the
cip.
R
Okay,
I
guess
that
puts
me
in
a
challenging
spot.
The.
R
So
so
the
board
has
the
ability
to
take
capital
from
so
it
sounds
like
this
reserve
fund
is
an
internally
established
fund
and
there's
not
necessarily
a
resolution
anywhere.
That
says,
be
it
resolved
that
the
board
create
this
reserve
fund
for
capital
improvements
at
headquarters
is
that
is
that
correct
assistant,
superintendent,.
K
President
coghill,
commissioner
bourne,
I
believe
this
fund
was
established
before
I
joined
the
park
and
recreation
board.
It's
possible
that
director
weissman
might
have
more
information
on
when
it
was
created,
and
I
apologize
for
putting
director
weissman
on
the
spot.
H
President
cogill
and
commissioner
bourne,
I
would
have
to
go
back
and
research,
the
actual
if
there
was
actual
board
resolution
or
direction.
But
this
this
was
actually
established
when
we
procured
the
building
and
moved
into
the
building.
H
R
So
so
I
mean
I
I'm
not
opposed
to
making
the
capital
improvement
that
we
need
to
in
the
headquarters,
but
I
look
at
382
thousand
dollars
and
that's
a
new
play
pot
in
any
one
of
our
park
systems.
That
say,
that's
a
wading
pool.
That's
the
it's
just
a
lot
of
forward-facing
amenities
versus
a
new
hr
office.
So
again,
I'm
not
I'm
not
opposed
to
this.
R
I'm
wondering
if
this
could
maybe
wait
a
cycle
and
we
could
get
some
of
those
history
questions
answered
and
see
if
there
maybe
was
a
board
resolution
actually
establishing
this
reserve
fund
or
if
these
are
funds
that
the
board
should
be
looking
at
every
year
as
having
as
having
access
to
them.
So
I
I
would
make
a
I
would
make
a
resolution
to.
A
There's
been
a
motion
to
postpone
the
there's,
been
a
motion
in
a
second
and
I
would
appeal
to
the
parliamentarian,
but
I
don't
know
if
that
is
debatable
at
this
point
similar
to
table.
A
Very
good,
thank
you
for
that.
So
anybody
who
wants
to
speak
to
the
motion
to
postpone
for
one
cycle,
commissioner,
french,.
A
P
No,
I
haven't
raised
previous
of
this.
Thank
you.

A
A

we
have
two
items.

There's
a
motion
in
a
second
before
us:
we
have
a
proper
motion,
I'll
ask
the.
If
there
are
questions,
commissioner,
music.
N
Thank
you,
president
kogel.
I'm
interested
in
understanding
whether
or
not
red

pickle
llc
is
current
on
all
contractual
obligations
with
the
maples
partner
recreation
board.
A
Thank
you
for

question.
I
will
ask
either
assistant
superintendent,
schroeder
or
mr
stenzel
of
visan
director
stencil
to
answer
that
question.
S
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Colgall
president
colgail,
commissioner
music.
Yes,
I
actually
did
present
have
a
little
presentation.
If
we
wanted
to
look
at
it,
but
they
are
current
in
2019
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
glitch
as
far
as
on
their
end.
On
our
end
on
payments,
those
payments
are
rectified
in
2020
and
they
made
all
payments
in
2020
going
forward
over
the
year.
A
Right,
thank
you
director,
stencil,
and
I
will
ask
the
secretary
to
please
take
the
role
on
the
resolution.
F
P
J
A
That
carries,
I
will
now
ask
for
a
motion
on
resolution.
2021
195,
a
resolution
terminating
and
in
all
space
sharing
agreements
with
the
minnesota
state
patrol
for
the
use
of
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board,
property
and
facilities
located
at
2117
west
river
road
north
have
a
motion
to
have
a
second
exact
cap.
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
is
there
any
discussion
from
commissioners
vice
president
vito.
D
A
Certainly,
thank
you
vice
president.
I
I
would
perhaps
ask
commissioner
french
if
you'd
like
to
speak
to
the
resolution,
I
worked
with
him
and
we
determined
to
put
this
on
the
main
board
agenda
due
to
the
fact
that
it's
a
important
issue
at
the
moment.
Commissioner,
french,
would
you
like
to
say
anything
to
address
the
resolution
at
hand.
X
Absolutely
you
know
we
the
last
week
or
so
we
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
unrest
in
our
city,
a
lot
of
the
folks
who
have
been
at
the
the
heart
of
putting
that
unrest
down
or
stifling
the
protesters.
I've
been
the
minneapolis,
the
minnesota
state
patrol,
and
so
I
I
just,
I
think
it's
a
time
for
us
to
end
our
agreement
with
them
and
their
face
without
being
without
us
being
compensated,
and
it's
just
it's
just
time
for
us
in
our
it's
kind
of
in
our
contrast.
K
D
Thank
you,
commissioner,
french.
So
I'm
not
going
to
be
supporting
this
tonight.
This
seems
like
political
grandstanding.
To
me,
the
state
is
a
huge
partner
in
our
work
we
receive
I'm
sure
close
to
20
million
dollars
and
get
and
have
the
opportunity
to
do
a
lot
of
youth
programming
with
our
partnership
at
the
state.
These
officers,
it's
my
understanding
that
they
use
the
parking
lot
and
the
toilets.
D
A
Thank
you.

a
place
that
well
I
I
attorney
general
ellison,
said
it
very
very
well
yesterday,
after
the
verdicts
that
accountability
is
essential
in
this
time
and
place,
and
I
don't
see
how
severing
a
relationship
is
going
to
benefit
any
change,
it's
going
to
serve
our
community,
I
I
think
just
the
opposite,
the
more
that
we
can
have
build
relationships,
the
more
we
will
be
able
to
transform
make
change.
C
Interested
as
we
are
in
holding
everyone
accountable
and
transforming
how
policing
occurs
so
I
I
feel
that
this
is
a
a
retaliatory
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
look
at
the
relationship
as
something
constructive
and
by
holding
them
closer
to
us,
I
think,
is
a
more
accountable
way
of
doing
things
I
mean
so
I
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
forney
commissioner
meyer.
T
Thank
you.
I
brought
up
my
objections
when
this
agreement
was
brought
forward
a
couple
years
ago.
I
still
hold
the
same
view.
T
It's
not
retaliatory
in
my
view,
but
I
still
think
that
we
should
determine
the
determinate
disagreement
and
I
won't
support
the
resolution.
J
T
B
A
Carries
moving
on
to
new
business,
we
have
a
discussion
item
presentation
regarding
indigenous
land,
people
and
nations
acknowledgement
practices
proposed
in
the
parks
for
all
draft
2021
comprehensive
plan,
and
I
can
provide
a
little
bit
more
context
and
then
turn
it
over
to
carrie
christensen.
The.
A
I
think
it's
notable
for
commissioners
to
see
the
work,
that's
being
done,
thinking
about
land
acknowledgements
throughout
our
practices
in
public
meetings,
and
I'm
hoping
that
this
can
be
a
discussion
point
for
getting
guidance
on
how
we
develop
and
do
that
for
our
board
meetings
as
well.
I've
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
commissioners
about
this
and
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
this
here
and
see
the
work
that
has
been
done
so
far
and
get
any
thoughts
on
what
we
could
do.
F
A
Y
President
kogil
commissioners,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
tonight
to
talk
about
this
important
part
of
our
comprehensive
plan
and
of
the
work
of
the
last
few
years
of
the
parks
for
all
work
groups
and
community
advisory
committee
community
thought
leaders
in
the
region
around
this
topic.
So
I
think
I
first
want
to
just
state
that
I'm
I'm
really
excited
to
share
these
aspects
of
the
plan
with
you.
Y
I
don't
consider
myself
an
expert
on
the
topic
of
indigenous
land
people
and
nations
acknowledgements
as
a
white
woman
that
is
not
indigenous
to
this
land.
I
especially
feel
that
I
need
to
name
that
you
know
I'm
here
to
specifically
speak
to
the
comprehensive
planned
draft
content
and
process
happy
to
field
questions
and
connect
you
with
resources
that
we've
connected
with
over
the
last
few
years
in
the
process.
So
again
very
grateful
to
be
here,
though.
Thank
you.
Y
Oh!
I
always.
Whenever
I
come
before
you,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
getting
the
comprehensive
plan
out
in
front
of
the
commissioners
in
the
community
just
a
reminder
that
this
is
the
draft
plan
is
currently
out
until
july
18th
at
the
direction
of
the
board
of
commissioners
from
an
action
in
january.
Y
The
comprehensive
plan
draft
sets
the
policy
direction
for
the
next
decade
of
our
system.
The
planning
process
involves
community
park
board
staff
agency
partners
and
commissioners
in
shaping
the
future
direction
of
the
minneapolis
park
and
rex,
just
a
heads
up
that
we
will
be
issuing
a
plan
addendum
in
coming
weeks
with
some
updates
to
chapter
three,
including
level
of
service
guidelines
and
a
few
additions
to
the
appendix.
So
I
will
be
doing
we'll
be
doing
extensive
outreach,
make
sure
to
get
a
copy
to
all
of
the
commissioners.
Y
We
also
offering
monthly
virtual
open
houses
and
still
have
an
online
survey.
Thank
you
next
slide.
Please,
I'm
going
to
start
by
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
parks
for
all
process
around
this
topic.
It
came
up
as
one
a
really
significant
topic
for
us
to
explore.
As
part
of
the
comprehensive
planning
process,
we
held
a
panel
discussion
with
indigenous
leaders
and
scholars
at
the
park
summit
last
spring.
Y
There
were
indigenous
acknowledgements,
acknowledgement,
practices
and
language
integrated
into
all
of
the
cac
meetings,
with
the
guidance
of
archaic,
chair,
carly
batthart
bull,
several
cac
there's
been
several
recommendations
made
by
our
community
advisory
committee,
as
well
as
several
of
the
focus
groups
that
informed
policy
in
the
comp
plan
draft
and
work
groups.
They
all
all
sort
of
coalesced
around
this
topic
in
different
ways
and
you'll
see
the
strategies
in
a
moment
that
I'll
share
with
you
that
came
out
of
all
of
that
thinking.
Y
We
also
did
an
inventory
of
indigenous
acknowledgement
or
collaboration
work
at
the
park
board.
To
date
they
amplify
that,
like
in
the
spirit
of
the
comp
plan,
we've
been
really
trying
to
amplify
what
works
in
our
system,
so
I'll
also
share
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
currently
up
to
and
then.
Finally,
some
research
on
international
practices
was
another
aspect
of
our
planning
process,
we're
looking
at
international
trends.
Y
So
there's
some
extensive
notes
online.
The
link
is
very
long,
but
you
can
find
it
through
our
parks
for
all
website
notes
on
the
panel
that
we
hosted-
and
these
were
the
panel
participants,
sean
sherman,
maddie,
harper
de
carlo
kate,
dean
and
carly
badhar
ball.
Y
Our
framing
questions
were
what
should
mprv
consider
as
we
work
on
indigenous
acknowledgement
practices
at
nprb.
How
in
everyday
work
can
we
think
of
indigenous
people
in
space
via
acknowledgment
celebration
and
uplifting
of
these
voices?
So
really
thinking
around
this
question
of
the
statement
that
president
cogill
framed,
but
also
creating
practices
procedures,
a
culture
of
acknowledgement
across
our
system,
not
just
in
the
words
but
also
in
our
practices
in
our
physical
landscapes?
Y
Y
They
suggested
that
we
create
clear
processes
and
know
how
to
support
community-led
efforts
that
are
already
occurring
number
two
land
acknowledgment
statements.
They
should
be
personal
specific
to
the
land,
the
tribes
and
the
trees.
They
should
change
over
time.
Statements
are
a
step,
but
should
also
be
part
of
a
system
of
approaches.
Y
Panelists
also
expressed
appreciation
that
the
park
board
is
thinking
about
next
steps
about
creating
a
culture
of
land
acknowledgement.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
to
highlight
that
too.
There
was
a
lot
of
real
positive
excitement
around
this
topic.
Number
five
staff
and
commissioner
trainings.
There
was
a
suggestion
for
ongoing
trainings
that
are
woven
into
the
institutions.
Y
Works
work
suggested
that
curriculum
developed
in
collaboration
with
compensation
of
native
professionals
to
craft
curriculum
or
support,
trainings
number,
six
harvesting
on
parkland
and
cultural
uses
of
plants,
with
something
highlighted
as
an
important
aspect
that
our
park
system
can
offer
and
has
offered
number
seven
an
exploration
of
giving
land
back
and
reparations.
What
would
that
look
like
what
are
some
of
the
sort
of
steps
to
consider
in
these
processes?
Y
Number
eight
engaging
with
tribal
leadership
in
indigenous
communities,
making
sure
to
coordinate
between
projects
within
our
within
the
park
board
and
our
departments
and
to
have
a
unified
approach.
That
is
relationship
based,
number
nine
historical
interpretation,
just
acknowledging
that
there
are
many
layered
histories
at
different
sites,
different
tribal
histories,
there's,
of
course
you
know
european
settlement
histories,
there's
acknowledging
that
across
time
and
and
people
that
our
histories
are
very
complex
and
finally,
number
10
language
to
integrate
indigenous
languages
into
interpretive
signage
or
naming
of
parks.
Y
Y
So
I
also
mentioned
that
we
did
an
inventory
of
existing
practices,
partnerships
and
related
work
that
is
currently
occurring
or
is
coming
online
at
the
park
board
so
just
quickly.
There
is
ongoing
tribal
leadership
project
updates
that
are
coordinated
across
projects.
Y
There
is
also
some
tribal
leadership
site
of
significance,
coordination,
various
community
advisory
committees,
a
few
events,
some
documents
and
staff
are
regularly
are
starting
to
use
indigenous
acknowledgement
statements.
There's
been
some
design,
integration
of
indigenous
language,
materials
plants
and
interpretation
coming
online.
Y
We
have,
of
course,
native
community
centered
engagement,
which
is
different
than
tribal
leadership,
coordination
thinking
about
folks
and
residents
and
park
users
that
identify
as
indigenous
and
how
do
we
reach
those
folks
as
as
a
part
of
our
sort
of
diverse
community
and
then
finally,
public
art
focused
on
indigenous
narratives?
Of
course,
we've
got
an
example
or
two
of
that
in
our
system
as
well.
So
just
saying,
there's
we've
got
some
great
momentum
and
how
do
we
keep
the
momentum
up
and
think
about
our
future,
which
is
brings
me
to
my
next
slide.
Please.
Y
Y
So
as
part
of
parks
for
all
the
park
board
has
been
exploring
how
to
integrate
acknowledgment
of
land
and
indigenous
peoples
into
our
work
procedures
and
spaces.
We
collectively
acknowledge
that
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board
system
is
located
on
the
traditional
ancestral
and
contemporary
lands
of
indigenous
people.
This
lands
hold
great.
Y
This
land
holds
great
historical,
spiritual
and
personal
significance
for
its
original
stewards,
the
native
nations
and
peoples
of
this
region,
and
now
here's
an
example
of
how
it
might
become
more
specific
right,
so
we've
actually
taken
a
drawn
and
excerpt
from
the
land
we're
on
which
is
a
resource
from
the
native
governance
center,
a
local
organization,
that's
doing
some
really
wonderful
work,
and
so
I'll
do
my
best
to
to
read
this
statement
just
as
a
way
of
sort
of
grounding
us
in
the
land,
which
is
a
really
important
part
of
our
system.
Y
Right
so
minnesota
is
the
homeland
of
the
dakota
people.
The
dakota
have
lived
here
for
many
thousands
of
years
on.
Ashinabe
people
reside
here
too
and
reach
their
current
homelands
after
following
the
mega
shell
to
the
food
that
grows
on
water,
indigenous
people
from
other
tribal
nations
also
reside
in
minnesota,
have
made
innumerable
contributions
to
our
region,
all
right
next
slide.
Y
Thank
you,
okay,
so
I'm
just
this
is
my
last
slide,
but
I
did
want
to
make
sure
to
point
out
that
they're
in
the
draft
comprehensive
plan,
there
are
some
strategies
put
forth
as
building
blocks
for
us
to
work
from
in
the
next
decade
of
our
system
and
knowing
that
these
are
starting
points
right
and
some
of
them
have
a
little
bit
of
momentum
already.
Y
So
we've
distilled
it
down
really
want
to
focus
on
these
these
three
strategies.
The
first
is
in
goal,
one
which
is
around
foster
belonging
and
equity
strategy.
Three:
it's
to
amplify
indigenous
stories,
histories,
cultural
practices
and
connections
to
land
through
employment,
partnerships,
programming,
interpretation
and
community
engagement
goal.
Seven
also
has
the
strategy
related
to
the
topic
which
the
goal
seven
is
to
connect
through
communications
and
technology
and
strategy.
Y
Five
is
to
educate
staff
in
the
community
on
critical
issues
facing
the
city
and
region
specifically,
and
if
you
bounce
down
to
the
second
to
last
bullet
indigenous
history,
rights,
culture
and
perspectives
and
then
finally
goal
eight
also
has
a
strategy
around
this
school
is
focused
on
cultivating
a
thriving
workforce
strategy.
17
is
to
develop
and
train
staff
and
commissioners
on
native
acknowledgement,
practices
that
incorporate
the
complexities
of
treaties,
tribal
differences,
personal
experience
and
layered
place-based
histories.
Y
I
think
that
wraps
up
my
presentation
next
slide.
Please
just
want
to
make
sure
I
didn't
forget
anything.
Thank
you
and
I
will
now
hand
it
back
to
president
cogill
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
share
and
I'll.
Let
him
take
the
discussion
from
here.
A
Thank
you,
carrie
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
all
the
work
that's
been
done.
I
will
just
entertain
any
questions
from
commissioners
again
any
questions
regarding
the
work.
That's
been
done
on
the
comprehensive
plan
or
any
thoughts
about
how
we
may
be
able
to
incorporate
or
think
about
land
acknowledgement
going
forward
in
in
our
work.
Commissioner,
meyer.
T
Thank
you
first
just
wanted
to
ask
for
clarification
so
under
the
land
acknowledgement
statements,
you
said
that
they
should
be
personal,
specific
to
land,
tribes
and
treaties
and
change
over
time.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
clarification
about
the
change
over
time.
Part.
So
can
you
expand
on
that
like
like?
T
Y
President
cogail,
commissioner
meyer
again,
I'm
not
an
expert
on
the
topic,
and
I
might.
I
might
actually
recommend
that,
if
there's
interest
in
a
deeper
dive
into
procedures
around
developing
land
acknowledgement
statements
that
we
work
with
a
native
consultant
to
help
advise
us
on
the
topic.
Y
But
what
the
the
so
they're
they're
the
idea
of
being
specific
to
place
and
knowing
that
we
have
this
is
a
work
in
progress
is
definitely
a
spirit
that
is
expressed
in
the
plan
and
in
the
statement
that
the
way
that
the
statement
is
framed
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
the
idea
that
it's
a
starting
point-
and
we
will
continue
to
learn
and
unearth
stories
on
earth
sites
of
significance
even
potentially,
and
that
our
relationship
and
our
understanding
will
be
evolving
and
that
you
know
it's
not
about
just
creating
a
statement
and
being
done
and
having
that
same
statement
be
the
same
everywhere.
Y
We
go
at
every
meeting,
but
it's
kind
of
making
sure
that
we
keep
it
alive
and
we
continue
to
evolve
it.
But
again,
I'm
not
an
expert.
That's
really
just
the
spirit
of
what
we
intended
in
the
plan.
T
Y
U
Sure,
thank
you,
commissioner.
Meyer
president
colgill,
there
is
a
capital
improvement
project
scheduled
at
sibley
park.
That's
just
getting
underway.
We
are
finalizing
a
community
engagement
plan
for
that
right
now.
Our
intent
is
to
have
a
community
conversation
about
the
sibley
park,
name
at
the
same
time,
so
that
we're
only
engaging
the
community
once
around
that
project,
so
the
community
engagement
plan
that
will
come
as
a
pnc
to
the
board
soon
for
the
sibley
park.
U
We're
not
yet
specifically
addressing
sibley
triangle
in-
and
I
believe
your
district
commissioner
meyer,
but
I
think
it's
it's
worthwhile
to
have
the
discussion
about
sibley
generally,
along
with
the
sibley
park
project.
So
we
are
incorporating
that
in.
T
Yeah
and
I
know
that
we
did
bring
up
sibley
triangle
in
the
east
of
the
river
master
plan.
I
I
have
had
constituents
reach
out
to
me
since
then
urging
us
to
change
it,
so
I
would
ask
staff
to
add
that
triangle
to
their
workload.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
meyer,
any
other
discussion
from
commissioners
or
questions
or
comments.
A
Right
seeing
none
thank
you
carrie
very
much
for
the
presentation.
I
I
hope
to.
Oh
commissioner.
Bourne
has
raised
his
hand,
mr.
R
Bourne
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
president
cogill.
Ms
christensen,
the
if
the
parks
for
all
plan
comes
forward
after
the
engagement
period,
like
you,
have
the
draft
language
for
this
entire
section
that
you'd
be
asking
the
board
to
vote
on
as
of
right
now
right
and
that's
effectively
the
recommend
the
10
recommendations
that
were
before
us,
like
that's,
ultimately
the
language
that
the
board
would
be
voting
on
in
a
few
months
right.
Y
President
coghill
commissioner
bourne
following
the
end
of
the
public
comment
period.
We
look
at
all
of
the
comments,
of
course,
we'll
tabulate
them
and
we'll
make
changes
to
the
plan
based
on
the
comments
that
are
that
are
provided
during
the
public
comment
period.
So
I
cannot
confirm
if
this
exact
language
will
be
in
the
plan
when
it
comes
to
you
for
adoption.
R
Y
President
cogill
commissioner
born
we
were,
we
were
we,
the
public
comment
period
was
still
open
and
we
had
not
tabulated
all
of
the
comments
at
that
stage
it
was
still
open
for
a
couple
more
weeks.
We
always
wait
to
the
end
of
the
public
comment
period
to
tabulate
the
interest,
or
you
know
summarize,
and
look
at
the
plan
and
make
make
revisions
to
the
plan.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
R
I
think
so
yeah,
and
so
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is
you
know
I
I'm
ready
to
vote
on
a
land
acknowledgement
statement
today.
If
we
had
the
language
before
us,
the
I
see
some
good
start
of
draft
language
there
and
the
value
sets
that
came
as
a
recommendation
from
the
parks
for
all
work
group.
I
I'm
ready
to
adopt
those
those
recommendations
today
or
at
our
next
cycle
and
let
those
stand
independently
of
the
parks
for
all
plan.
R
I
think
the
feedback
that
we
got
from
leaders
in
that
community
was
incredibly
robust,
so
I
I
don't
think
we
need
to
wait
until
july,
which
that
I
just
don't
think
we
need
to
wait
on
some
of
this
work.
That's
that's
that
important
and
can
and
can
be
done
that
easily.
R
But
what
it
looks
like
is
that
there's
a
there's
some
draft
language,
but
that's
not
final
I'll
I'd
like
to
work
offline
with
some
of
my
commissioners
to
bring
some
final
language
forward
and
some
some
members
of
the
community
to
bring
some
of
that
final
language
and
final
recommendations
forward
before
july
and
to
the
points
on
sibley
park
and
sibley
triangle.
What
I'm
kind
of
hearing
there
is
that
we
could
be
years
away
still
from
doing
the
right
thing
on
that
and
it
takes
six
votes.
R
It
takes
six
votes
today,
so
I
mean,
if
we're
talking
about
wanting
to
do
it.
I
would
encourage
the
commissioner
that
is
talking
about
wanting
to
do
it
to
just
put
forward
a
resolution
and
do
it.
If
we,
if
we've
heard
from
the
community-
and
we
know
it's
the
right
thing
to
do-
let's
do
it-
I
mean
the
one
thing
I
learned
from
the
chain
of
lakes.
Master
plan
was
for
too
long.
R
We
we
hid
behind
process
to
not
do
the
right
thing
and
ultimately,
when
push
came
to
shove,
that
there
wasn't
anybody
that
there
wasn't
anybody
well,
there
were
some
folks
that
voted
against
doing
the
right
thing
on
with
renaming
the
parkways,
but
I
think
we
can
just
do
the
right
thing
on
sibley
park
and
simply
triangle.
So
I'd
encourage
the
commissioner
that
is
interested
in
moving
those
to
bring
those
forward
work
with
the
community
members
he's
been.
Y
Thank
you.
So,
commissioner
bourne,
I
think
you
brought
up
a
great
point
around
the
statement
itself
and
just
separate
from
the
strategies
that
were
shared.
The
statement
can
absolutely
you
know,
has
already
being
used
and
changed
and
modified.
Y
Currently
it's
a
practice
that
is
sort
of
become
an
informal
practice,
and
I
think
that
absolutely
this
statement
itself
could
be
refined
and
you
know
created
in
a
more
formal
manner
as
something
separate
from
the
parts
for
all
document
that
then
the
final
draft
could
reflect
that
modified
statement.
A
Thank
you,
carrie
did
you
have
anything
else
done.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
French.
X
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
just
give
a
little
background.
Why
we,
why
we're
not
voting
on
it
like
right
now,
a
couple
of
months
ago
me
and
president
kogo
were
talking
about
doing
this.
We
we
thought
it'd
be
the
best
interest
to
get
as
much
community
input
as
possible.
X
X
X
This
is
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
think
about
talk
about
and
and
get
as
much
input
from
the
community
as
possible.
I
I'm
I'm
pretty,
I'm
pretty
confident
that
this
will
go
through,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
as
much
input
as
possible.
That's
just
that's
my
only
my
only
reason
for
one
of
that
vote
right
now
or
paul.
I
just
want
to
get
as
many
voices
as
we
possibly
can.
So.
X
Thank
you,
president
coco,
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
Thank
you.
A
I
appreciate
the
the
feedback-
and
I
think
helpful
for
for
for
me
and
and
for
staff
as
well
as
we
work
on
next
steps
to
both
engage
the
community
and
perhaps
bring
something
forward
a
little
bit
more
quickly
than
the
rest
of
the
plan
and
again
thank
you
carrie.
So
much
for
the
presentation.
I
know
it's
not
the
direct
wheelhouse
to
talk
about
all
this
stuff,
but
to
talk
about
it
in
the
lens
of
the
planning
work
and
all
the
great
engagement
that
has
happened
so
far.
A
We
can
only
build
off
of
that.
So
thanks
a
lot
again
with
that
I'll
recess,
the
full
board
and
go
into
committee.
Our
first
committee
here
is
the
recreation
committee,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
share.
A
X
To
call
the
role
for
recreation
community.
B
P
B
D
X
So
we
have,
we
have
an
action
item
up
for
today
and
the
res
the
board.
The
board
will
adopt
the
resolution
2021
186
caption
as
follows:
the
resolution
authorizing
the
phelps
aquatic
center
shared

and
the

N
X
We
got
a
new
pool
that
phelps
all
right
so
are,
they
is
any
any
discussion.
Anybody
have
any
questions.
X
X
Sorry,
oh
the
trish,
I'm
vice
president
of
utah.
D
X
Thank
you
vice
president,
looking
to
see
no
more
hands,
I
will
ask
the
secretary
to
take
the
role
oh
hold
on.
I
see
I
see
a
commissioner.
She
has
a
question.
P
Yeah,
so
I'm
just
letting
everyone
know
that
I'll
be
voting
on
this
tonight.
I
do
not,
although
some
specific
wording
I
was
supposed
to
use
this
evening.
I
do
not
benefit
from
this
or
you
see
here,
so
I
had
the
correct
language.
I
checked
with
council
rice
today
to
see
if
I
could
vote
on
this,
and
he
said
that
I
could
this
evening.
If
anyone
has
questions,
let
me
know.
X
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Severson
I'd
ask
secretary
ringle
to
take
the
role.
V
X
Thank
you,
secretary
ringo,
so
we
have
one
study
report
with
with
assistant
superintendent
cox
will
be
coming
and
talking
about
our
enhancement,
our
hands,
use
programming.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
assistant
superintendent
cox,.
O
Thank
you,
chair
french,
good
evening,
commissioners.
I
have
a
very
brief
presentation
tonight
on
enhanced
programs,
and
so
I
will
just
pause
for
one
second,
while
we
get
the
the
slide
deck
pulled
up.
O
So
I
just
want,
as
I
get
started,
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
enhanced
programs
is
kind
of
an
umbrella
concept.
There
will
be
several
programs
that
I
will
bring
to
you
as
the
season
goes
on,
that
talks
about
what
we're
doing
specifically,
but
just
want
to
give
a
quick
reminder
that
we
committed
to
developing
some
additional
programs
for
youth
age
22
and
for
kids
that
we
recognize
may
be
disconnected
from
programs
both
with
us
or
around
around
the
community.
So
that
was
just
I
just
wanted
to
correct.
O
That
umbrella
speaks
to
kids
that
we
aren't
currently
attracting
with
our
current
programming
next
slide,
please.
O
So
in
my
presentation,
a
few
months
ago
we
talked
about
who
those
kids
might
be.
I
gave
you
the
age
bands
12
to
22,
and
we
talked
about
those
those
young
people
right
in
the
middle,
not
the
ones
that
are
heavily
programmed
because
their
family
knows
how
to
do
that
or
is
looking
forward
to
programs
both
with
us
or
with
other
agencies,
or
for
the
kids,
who
are,
you
know
close
enough
to
the
parks
they
kind
of
walk
themselves
over
and
engage
in
the
ways
that
they
feel
comfortable.
O
So
we're
not
talking
about
those
kids
in
this
and
we're
also
not
talking
about
the
kids,
who
may
have
had
some
interactions
with
other
agencies,
other
agencies
being
the
juvenile
justice
system,
some
other
agency
that
has
a
different
set
of
eyes
on
those
on
those
kids.
So
initially
we
said
neither
of
those
it's
that
middle
kind
of
bubble,
kid,
the
kid
that
nobody's
really
thinking
about
they're,
just
kind
of
moving
about
life,
not
really
programmed
not
really
in
any
trouble
but
just
kind
of
moving
along.
O
O
They
may
have
some
family
member
who
is
a
bit
more
engaged
in
the
lifestyle
and
so
think
about
those
kids
a
bit
differently
and,
to
be
honest,
I
I
hadn't,
but
I
think,
here's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
hear
our
community
and
be
more
responsive,
and
so
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
that
we're
going
to
fully
move
into
the
intervention
bubble,
but
we
will
think
about
kids
that
are
a
bit
closer
to
that
side
than
what
I
initially
thought
kind
of
the
rightness
center
kids
next
slide.
Please.
O
So
with
that
said,
we
started
to
think
about
an
employment
readiness
program
for
those
kids
that
I
just
described
the
ones
that
are
cl
a
bit
closer
to
the
right
side
of
the
spectrum
than
I
initially
thought,
and
so
we
kind
of
started
to
think
about.
Imagine
your
future
as
a
as
a
employment
program,
and
this
would
be
an
eight-week
program.
That's
going
to
work
for
17
to
22
year
olds,
and
I'm
going
to
talk
in
a
bit
about
why
this
is
so
different.
O
What
how
does
it
stand
out
for
some
of
the
other
programs
that
are
either
in
our
agency
or
in
the
community
as
well?
But
with
this
program
we're
going
to
work
with
young
people
to
break
down
barriers
to
employment,
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit
and
also
help
them
become
more
employment,
ready
through
a
variety
of
ways.
O
So
imagine
your
future
is
a
pilot
program
and
we're
going
to
focus
on
30
30
youth,
two
cohorts
of
15
17
to
22,
that
is
on
the
older
end
of
youth
employment,
and
that's
intentional.
So
we'll
talk
about
that.
It
is
going
to
be
an
eight-hour
program,
three-hour
sessions
each
each
week
and
we're
going
to
host
the
trainings
one
north
side,
one
south
side,
mlk
park
and
far
view
next
slide.
O
So
we
recognize
that,
as
we
think
about
the
17
to
22
year
old
young
person,
who
is
closer
to
the
right
side
of
the
spectrum,
they
may
have
some
challenges
that
don't
easily
lend
themselves
to
getting
them
a
job
with
us
and
we
want
to
work
through
that
with
them,
and
so
what
we
envision
is
that
all
of
the
young
people
will
start
together
week,
one
helping
them.
O
You
know
with
some
personal
development
and
employment
readiness
and
by
week
three
as
we're
thinking
about
employment
exploration,
we
will
have
done
background
checks
for,
for
some
of
those
kids
fully
understanding
that
not
all
of
those
kids
for
a
variety
of
reasons
will
be
prepared
to
be
employed.
They
may
have
something
on
their
background.
They
may
not
have
access
to
their
social
security
card
or
any
of
the
other
documentation,
that's
necessary
for
them
to
get
a
job,
but
we
are
not
going
to
abandon
them.
O
There
we're
going
to
ask
them
to
stay
with
us
while
we
help
them
work
through
those
things
we
are
go.
We've
already
been
engaging
with
folks
who
do
expungement
work
to
help
kids,
who
may
have
some
low
level
things
on
their
records
that
that
we
think
we
might
be
able
to
help
them
deal
with.
If
that,
if
possible,
we've
said,
if
you
don't
have
your
social
security
card,
let
us
help
you
with
that.
O
We
want
to
be
a
bit
of
a
bridge
to
gain
full
employment
and
moving
on
to
the
next
part
of
your
life,
for
the
kids,
who
are
ready,
they
will
continue
to
be
placed
in
jobs
in
our
organization
kind
of
throughout
the
system,
and
they
too
will
be
strongly
encouraged,
actually
even
incentivized
to
come
back
each
week
after
they've
done
their
work
shift
and
stay
with
the
learning
that
we
want
to
provide
for
them.
Through
this
eight
weeks,
the
employment
isn't
eight
weeks,
it's
just
the
training
part.
That
is
so.
O
You
see
in
front
of
you
what
the
themes
are
for
each
of
those
eight
weeks
and
how
we
intend
to
support
kids
as
they
move
along
next
slide.
Please.
O
So,
what's
different
about
this,
so
you
know
there
are
lots
of
youth
employment
programs
over
the
summer
in
a
variety
of
places
right.
But
what
we
feel
like
is
really
different
about.
This
is
that
we've
really
narrowly
defined
the
audience.
It
is
for
the
kids
that
are
a
bit
older,
youth,
17
to
22
and
those
who
may
have
a
little
bit
of
a
hiccup
in
their
their
employment
readiness
and
that
doesn't
exist
everywhere.
O
O
You
put
out
a
job
posting,
whoever
shows
up
shows
up
and
they
get
the
job,
and
this
we
want
to
be
intentional
about
making
sure
we're
we're
reaching
out
to
the
kids
that
we
think
may
benefit
from
this.
The
most
we
intend
to
provide
additional
personal
and
professional
supports
for
them
as
they
move
along
in
the
program,
as
I
just
mentioned,
is
there?
Are
there
ways
that
we
can
help
you
clear
up
some
of
your
low-level
background
stuff?
O
We
anticipate
having
less
less
traditional
speakers
for
kids.
We
want
kids
to
hear
from
from
adults
who
may
have
had
a
hiccup
in
their
past
and
has
turned
their
life
around.
O
O
We
I'm
reaching
out
to
a
woman
that
I
know
that
actually
did
several
years
in
prison
and
is
now
an
attorney,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
put
in
front
of
the
kids
the
people
whose
lives
have
been
somewhat
of
the
straight
and
narrow,
because
these
young
people
who
may
have
had
some
hiccups
may
not
see
success
as
attainable
for
them,
because
they've
had
those
hiccups
and
we
want
to.
O
We
want
to
debunk
that
for
them
and
then
lastly,
we
will
continue
we'll
have
ongoing
support
while
they're
in
the
job.
We
want
to
hold
their
hands
at
least
until
they
feel
like
they
have
their
legs
under
them
along
the
way
next
slide.
I
think
that
is
the
last
of
it.
O
O
The
contact
for
the
program
is
service
area
manager.
Leslie
vincent
there
are
still
seats
available.
So
if
you
know
some
young
people
that
you
think
might
benefit
from
this,
please
encourage
them
to
reach
out
to
her
so
that
we
can
get
them
seated.
As
the
program
will
launch.
I
believe
the
date
is
may
13th
next
slide.
O
X
Thank
you,
assistant,
superintendent
cox.
That
was
an
awesome
presentation.
I
have
some
questions
and
some
accolades,
but
I
think
vice
president
vital
has
some
questions.
Thank.
D
You
chair
french
assistant,
superintendent
cox,
you
always
deliver.
This
is
just
extremely
impressive.
I
love
how
thoughtful
it
is
just
slide
after
slide.
You
know
it's
everything
we
need
in
these
times
right
now,
especially
for
the
kids
that
you
were
targeting.
I
I
also
want
to
offer.
I
don't
know
how
you
know,
commissioners
fit
in
this
or
commissioners,
husbands,
but
myself
and
ronald
would
love
to
speak
to
these
group
of
young
people
that
you're
talking
about
we've
recently
been
targeted
with
a
website.
D
That
does
say
talk
about
some
true
things
that
have
happened
in
our
past
over
20
years
ago.
We've
overcome
that
we
would
be
more
than
happy
to
talk
to
these
young
people
about
you
know
coming
up
through
trauma
and
having
a
hard
start,
but
then,
where
you
can
land
you
know
later
on,
I'm
happy
to
see
that
you
are
working
to
get
rid
of
some
of
the
things
that
they've
had
to
deal
with
and
set
at
17
now
versus
at
45.
D
Like
us,
you
know
something
comes
back
from
20
plus
years
ago,
so
I'm
happy
to
see
that
this
is
so
thoughtful
assistant
superintendent.
I
mean,
like
you,
really
hit
it
with
this.
You
nailed
it
there's
so
many
good
things
about
this
and,
like
I
said
you
always
deliver.
This
is
like
so
fast
that
you,
you
know
you
put
this
presentation
before
us
on
what
this
could
be.
D
O
I
welcome
any
of
you
all
of
you
who
feel
like
you
have
something
to
lend
to
to
the
young
people
who
will
be
sitting
in
the
rooms
with
us,
and
so
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
con
to
think
about
your
calendars
and
what
you
may,
how
you
may
engage
with
this,
but
I
also
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
I
wish
I
could
take
all
the
credit
I
kind
of
laid
the
vision
for
director,
mimi,
cal
and
leslie
vincent
and
I'm
telling
you
they
took
off
like
a
rocket.
O
D
Thank
you
for
mentioning
the
other
staff
that
helped
thanks
to
them
as
well.
Whoever
had
a
part
in
this,
I
appreciate
it
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
outcome
of
this
and
I'll
be
in
touch
for
sure.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
N
Accolades
vice.
X
President
vito
much
appreciated
commissioner
stevenson.
P
Thank
you,
chair,
french.
I'm
glad
that
we
are
including
22
year
olds
in
this
I
feel
like
in
the
past.
P
The
park
board
has
not
had
much
for
that
18
to
25
year
old
group
of
young
people
who
are
entering
adulthood
being
able
to
attend
open,
gym,
teen
night
and
then
turning
18
19
and
not
having
much
or
not
having
the
money
to
participate
when
it
cost
five
bucks
or
four
bucks,
as
opposed
to
when
it
was
free.
P
The
one
asks
that
I
would
have
is
that
I
didn't
see
phyllis
wheatley
as
a
community
partner,
as
somebody
who's
working
on
a
diversion
work
in
a
cornerstone
in
our
community,
and
somebody
who
we
share
our
used
to
share
space
with,
but
kind
of
still
do
share.
Space
with,
I
think,
it'd
be
important
to
include
phyllis
wheatley
as
a
community
partner
moving
forward
thanks.
O
Thank
you,
commissioner
siverson.
I
absolutely
will
do
that.
They
have
been
a
great
partner
with
us
as
we
work
through
full
service
community
schools
as
well.
So
I
will
make
sure
to
do
that
still
yet
this
week.
X
Thank
you
vice
chair
stevenson.
Do
you
have
any
more
questions.
X
Does
anybody
else
have
any
real
questions,
all
right,
I'll
I'll
I'll
I'll
I'll
finish
by
saying
I
want
to
get
in
line
behind
vice
president
vital
as
far
as
someone
who
would
love
to
come
and
give
my
life
experiences
come
from
one
of
the
highest
highest
incarcerated,
zip
codes
in
the
country
and
and
five
and
feel
sick
to
milwaukee
wisconsin.
X
X
So
they're,
kids
and
I'm
glad
we're
we're
acknowledging
that
we're.
I'm
glad
we're
acknowledging
the
fact
that
this
this
demographic
needs
help
so
supreme
assistant
superintendent
of
the
crocs.
I
appreciate
your
work
and
anytime.
You
need
somebody
to
come
and
talk
or
hang
out,
I'm
a
you,
I'm
a
youth
worker,
I'm
a
retired
youth
worker
and
I
still
love
working
with
kids.
So
please,
let
me
know
when
I
can
show
up
and
I'll
be
right
behind
a
vice
president
in
detail,
trying
to
get
my
my
my
life
experiences
for
youngsters.
X
You
know.
Sometimes
you
get
a
hurdle
or
a
stumbling
block,
but
I'm
glad
we're
here
to
try
to
mitigate
some
of
the
consequences.
I
could
have,
though,
that
being.
K
Said,
thank
you
suggestion.
X
N
Okay,
fantastic,
the
time
being,
7
45
pm,
I
will
call
the
operations
and
environment
committee
to
order
secretary
ringgold.
If
you
could
please
take
the
role.
L
L
N
Have
a
quorum!
Wonderful!
Thank
you,
so
very
much
at
this
time
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
our
agenda
for
this
evening.
Thank
you
very
much,
secretary
ringgold.
If
you
could,
please
call
the
role.
T
B
N
N
Thanks
guys,
secretary
ringgold,
if
you
could,
please
call
the
roll.
E
N
Wonderful
that
carries
as
well
this
evening
we
have
an
action
item
for
us.
N
E
N
Thank
you.
I
need
to
pull
up
everything,
so
I
can
see
if
anyone
on
the
committee
has
questions
this
evening.
N
Okay,
so
I
don't
have
a
presentation
for
you
this
evening,
but
I
can
give
you
some
background
to
how
I
got
to
this
point
that
I
brought
this
resolution
forward
and
hopefully
that
will
answer
the
questions
that
you
have
earlier
well
late.
Last
year,
green
minneapolis
approached
commissioner
forney
and
I
to
talk
about
how
we
can
be
planting
more
trees
in
the
city.
N
In
conversations
with
the
tree
advisory
committee
members
and
the
forestry
department
and
the
park
board,
they
came
to
understand
that
we
really
need
to
be
planting
a
lot
more
trees
if
we
want
to
be
seriously
addressing
the
impacts
of
climate
change
in
terms
of
increasing
the
heat
island
effect
in
the
city
as
well
as
increased
rainfall
and
the
need
to
try
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
that
on
our
built
infrastructure.
N
So
christian
courtney
and
I
had
lots
of
conversations
about
ways
that
we
could
do
this
and
the
carbon
offset
program
seems
to
be
the
fastest
route
forward
to
increasing
the
funding
for
tree
planting
in
the
city,
particularly
now
that
council
member
palmisano's
office
is
championing
one-time
funding
of
a
pilot
program
for
us
to
try
this
out.
N
That's
kind
of
a
high
level
of
how
we
got
here.
Did
you
have
any
additional
questions?
T
E
T
T
If
there
are
opportunities
for
us
to
hire
staff
within
the
park
board
system,
I
will
certainly
prefer
that
if
there
are,
for
whatever
reason,
things
that
can't
be
done
within
the
purview
of
the
park
board
and
we
need
to
use
an
outside
source,
I'm
willing
to
support
that
if
it's
necessary
to
get
this
work
done
so
long
as
this
work
gets
done.
But
I'm
happy
that
we're
focusing
on
this
issue
because
it's
really
important.
N
Thank
you,
commissioner,
meyer,
just
to
address
the
staffing
concerns
of
our
our
union
representation.
N
This
proposal,
that's
before
the
office
of
state
of
sustainability,
currently
will
allow
us
to
retain
our
current
staffing
in
2022
when
the
tree
levy
has
expired,
so
that
that
was
a
big
focus
that
commissioner
and
I
had
was.
How
do
we
find
ways
to
preserve
our
staffing
and
to
enhance
it
going
forward
to
enable
us
to
not
only
plant
more
trees,
but
also
care
for
those
trees
once
they're
in
the
ground?
N
So
that
is
something
obviously
that
we're
thinking
about
too,
as
we
move
forward
with
trying
to
find
a
way
to
get
get
that
money
in
place.
Did
you
have
additional
comments.
N
C
Thank
you,
I'm
very
excited
about
this.
As
chair
usage
indicated,
we've
been
in
conversation
with
people
from
green
minneapolis
from
the
city,
and
my
concern
has
come
from
the
expiration
of
the
tree
dedication
levy
and
how
number
one?
Yes,
how
can
we
assure
that
continues
that
good
work
continues
and
actually
in
increases?
C
Okay,
but
also
my
concern
is
a
much
broader
than
that,
and
you
know
I
am
so
appreciative
to
hear
that
staff
have
been
conversing
with
green
minneapolis
about
their
working
with
businesses
in
downtown
minneapolis
and
how
can
they
approach
the
the
carbon
offset
credits
and-
and
so
it's
so
opportune-
and
I
just
feel
like
in
so
many
ways
the
stars
have
just
aligned.
C
The
city
asked
us,
you
know
to
to
work
with
this,
and
so
that's
why
we're
bringing
forward
this
memorandum
of
understanding
to
move
this
forward
and
and
make
it
concrete?
I
suppose
that's
the
wrong
word
for,
but
I'm
very
very
excited
about
it
and
hope
that
we'll
pass
out
a
committee
and
on
to
the
full
board.
N
Thank
you,
commissioner
forney,
in
the
interest
of
having
a
smooth
meeting
after
this.
I
will,
contrary
to
our
rules,
allow
commissioner
born
to
speak
in
committee
onto
this
topic.
R
Thank
you,
chair
fournier.
I
get.
I
we're
cheering
your
music.
Thank
you,
chair,
music,
I'm
not
familiar
with
that
rule,
but
thank
you
for
graciously
allowing
me
to
speak.
So
I
I
have
some
real
concerns
with
one
could.
R
The
so
resolution
20
21
194
if
we're
concerned
that
the
tree
level.
R
Currently,
I
must
be
having
some
technical
difficulties
because
I
just
turned
it
on
and
I
think
the
cameras,
if
you're
having
technical
difficulties,
that's
allowed
under
the
rules.
N
R
R
R
The
I
I
will
in
just
a
moment,
commissioner
music,
if
I
can
have
the
floor,
that
you've
so
graciously.
Given
me
the
the
background
of
resolution,
20
21
194,
just
simply
doesn't
do
that
the
language
states
that
we
would
be
advocating
for,
like
a
quarter
million
dollars
of
public
funds
to
go
to
green
minneapolis.
R
I
and
you
don't
have
to
look
very
far
at
through
990s
to
look
at
green
minneapolis
and
the
downtown
improvement
district
are
pretty
much
really
big
paychecks
for
steve
kramer,
there's
and
then,
if
you
look
at
the
frontline
work,
that's
happening
from
green
minneapolis
and
the
downtown
improvement
district.
It's
it's
all
folks
that
are
making
substandard
wages
to
the
minneapolis
park
board.
R
R
I
I
like
some
of
the
goals
that
were
happening
with
with
the
lopete,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
was
a
foot
in
the
door
of
privatizing
our
public
system,
and
I
just
think
that
there's
some
better
ways
to
get
to
that
and
that's
through
advocating
for
the
levy
not
allocating
earmarks
for
private
organizations
that
hire
staff
in
that
that
are
doing
the
work
that
should
be
done
by
public
employees.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Music
I'll
be
opposing
this
when
it
comes
to
the
full
board.
N
Then,
if
you
could
lower
your
hand,
I'm
unable
to
do
that
as
chair
of
the
committee,
so
for
my
colleagues
that
have
read
the
attachments
to
this
you'll
note
that
the
funding
request
that's
going
to
the
city
out
of
the
sustainability
office
is
for
two
million
dollars
to
come
to
the
park
board
and
the
250
000
to
support
the
establishment
of
the
carbon
offset
credit
reporting
structure
that
needs
to
get
put
in
place
so
that
it
can
be
supported
on
an
ongoing
manner.
N
The
initial
year's
funding
comes
from
federal
tax
dollars
and
ongoing
funding
would
come
from
a
combination
of
tax
dollars
and
carbon
credits
initially
and
then,
once
we
get
to
a
certain
level
of
years
behind
us
we'll
be
able
to
fully
fund
the
planting
of
additional
trees
in
the
city
through
the
carbon
offset
credits
program.
N
I
understand
that
not
all
of
my
colleagues
are
big
fans
of
public-private
partnerships,
but
we
do
need
to
try
to
find
ways
as
elected
officials,
to
reduce
the
burden
on
taxpayers
while
benefiting
them
in
a
positive
way.
The
trees
are
the
lungs
of
our
city
when
we
plant
them
we're
not
planting
them
for
ourselves
or
for
our
children,
we're
planting
them
for
our
children's
children
and
their
children
to
get
the
benefits
of,
and
we
really
need
to
be
doing
more.
N
N
Does
anyone
have
any
additional
comments?
I
keep
losing
my
screen.
F
N
Z
Yeah
thanks
for
your
time
tonight
share
music
and
commissioners,
I'm
just
here
to
share
a
brief
update
on
the
park
board's
community
garden
program
through
a
summary
of
our
2020
community
garden,
racial
equity
evaluation,
and
there
should
be
some
slides.
Deputy
superintendent.
Ringgold
are
those
available.
Z
N
Z
So
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
just
a
brief
background
on
the
program.
As,
of
course,
you
all
know.
In
2018,
the
park
board
passed
a
community
garden
policy
that,
for
the
first
time,
allowed
plot-based
community
gardens
to
be
established
in
minneapolis
parks.
Z
Since
the
temporary
position
ended,
there
wasn't
a
staff
member
on
board
that
first
year
to
score
applications,
so
everyone
that
applied
by
the
february
1st
deadline
was
awarded
a
plot
in
the
inaugural
season,
a
permanent
coordinator,
that's
me,
was
hired
on
in
march
of
2020
and
in
may
of
2020.
The
first
group
of
gardeners
started
tending
to
their
plots
next
slide
slide.
Please.
Z
So
a
critical
part
of
the
community
garden
policy
is
the
yearly
racial
equity
evaluation,
because
2020
was
the
first
year
for
the
program.
This
initial
evaluation
just
examines
the
racial
demographics
of
participants
based
on
the
voluntary
question.
That's
on
the
plot
application,
asking
gardeners
to
identify
their
race
or
ethnicity.
Z
Z
The
demographics
at
individual
gardens
more
closely
match
the
demographics
of
the
neighborhoods
that
they're
located
in
as
an
example,
we
can
see
that
the
racial
makeup
of
gardeners
at
tower
side
does
reflect
the
racial
makeup
of
prospect
park
residents
next
slide.
Please.
Z
So
staff
has
developed
some
recommendations
for
improving
equity
and
diversity
within
the
program.
First
off
staff
should
continue
to
promote
gardens
in
more
diverse
neighborhoods
in
order
to
increase
the
diversity
of
participants
system-wide
and
give
more
folks.
Access
to
this
program
for
2021
staff
and
community
develop
new
gardens
at
powderhorn
level
square
and
sumner
field
and
focus
for
new
gardens.
Moving
forward
will
be
on
parks
located
in
or
near
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
and
usda.
Food
deserts
pv
park
and
the
sepro
site
are
priorities
for
2021
and
2022
outreach
and
development
next
slide.
Z
Please
staff
should
continue
to
develop
targeted
outreach
plans
for
each
garden
that
really
focus
on
connecting
with
nearby
residents
in
affordable
apartments,
attending
more
in-person
events,
as
health
and
safety
guidelines
allow
and
making
applications
accessible
to
everyone.
Z
Z
And
staff
should
also
continue
to
grow
partnerships
with
folks,
both
externally
and
internally.
Growing
connections
with
homegrown
minneapolis
food
council
members,
non-profits
senior
services,
schools
and
others
doing
important
food
justice.
Work
in
minneapolis
will
help
the
program
reach
more
people
and
also
finding
ways
to
incorporate
recreation
and
environmental
ed
programs
into
the
gardens
in
order
to
reach
more
park
users
and
in
order
to
continually
grow
the
community
garden
program
through
all
this
meaningful
outreach
and
community
partnerships,
additional
staffing
for
the
program
will
be
critical
next
slide.
Please.
C
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
real
appreciative
of
doing
this
extra
work
and
it's
so
vitally
important,
and
I
appreciate
it
being
done
and
look
forward
to
it.
Moving
forward.
N
Thank
you,
commissioner.
I
had
a
question
about
outreach
around
raising
awareness
around
this
program.
Are
we
putting
up
notices
of
the
availability
of
plots
in
grocery
stores
and
food
shelves
in
places
where
people
are
procuring
food
to
help
them
become
aware
of
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
grow
their
own
food?
Z
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Sharon
usage.
We
have
done
quite
a
bit
of
flying
in
places
like
grocery
stores
and
food
shelves
and
also
in
a
lot
of
apartment
buildings,
for
example,
around
dickman
park,
there's
a
lot
of
public
housing
authority
sites,
and
this
year
we
were
able
to
get
a
flyer
on
the
door
of
every
resident
in
those
buildings.
So
definitely
working
on
that.
N
Awesome,
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
that
outreach
as
someone
that
spent
a
lot
of
time
teaching
people
how
to
learn
how
to
garden
as
a
master
gardener
like
it's
just
beautiful,
to
see
that
we're
providing
an
opportunity
to
to
do
some
gardening
on
public
land
in
ways
that
haven't
really
been
explored
in
the
past
in
the
parks
in
particular.
So
it's
an
exciting
time
and
I
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
on
helping
make
that
happen.
N
I
do
not
have
any
additional
questions
and
I
still
don't
see
any
additional
hands.
So
thank
you
everyone
for
your
time
this
evening
and
I
declare
the
operations
and
environment
committee
adjourned.
R
Call
to
order
just
before
we
go
on
I'm
sorry,
commissioner
meyer,
just
before
we
go,
if
there's
only
the
one
item
pending
at
the
full
board,
I'm
wondering
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
that
are
maybe
waiting
for
the
full
board
to
close
out
its
business.
If
we
could
reconvene
the
full
board,
dispose
of
the
business
and
adjourn
and
then
go
to
the
committee
meetings.
E
Q
T
Thank
you.
We
have
two
action
items.
The
first
is
resolution
2021-187
a
resolution
approving
a
five-year
agreement
with
metropolitan
council
for
metro
transit's
use
of
a
paved
area
at
georgetown
park
as
a
layover,
slash
turnaround.
Is
there
a
motion
for
this
resolution.
T
I
am
not
seeing
any
so
saying,
none
secretary,
please
call
the
roll.
T
N
Thank
you
chairmeyer.
I
just
had
a
question
about
what
sort
of
coordination
we
have
with
the
project
around
placement
of
temporary
toilet
facilities
associated
with
this.
Is
there
a
staff
person
on
the
call
that
can
speak
to
that.
F
Yes,
I
believe
carrie
christensen
can
take
this
question.
She
should
be
able
to
help.
Y
You
thank
you
chairmeyer,
commissioner.
Commissioner.
Music.
There
are
weekly
construction
coordination
meetings
for
the
d-line,
so
we
can
inquire
about
the
the
placement
of
facilities
for
folks
when
the
time
comes.
It's
a
long
line
so
we'll
make
sure
to
raise
that
question.
When
coordination
for
this
site
occurs,.
N
Yeah
we
can
just
try
to
help
them
understand
the
importance
of
placing
things
not
immediately
adjacent
to
neighborhoods
when
we
have
large
commercial
nodes,
we
just
we
have
a
lot
of
problems
right
now
with
construction
vehicles,
driving
down
residential
streets
to
access
our
portable
restroom
facilities
on
the
park
property.
So
I
I
just
we
could
try
to
mitigate
adding
to
that
problem.
That
would
be
great.
Q
Q
On
yes,
yeah
happy
to
be
here
carrie
as
you
mentioned.
Yes,
I
I
think
this
would
be
a
good
item
that
we
can
certainly
bring
up
with
our
contractor
to
better
understand
to
my
knowledge.
At
this
point,
I
don't
believe
they
are
planning
on
putting
portable
toilets
out
there,
but
it's
it's
something
that
we
can
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
contractors
plans.
N
T
Thank
you,
commissioner
and
shaheen.
Are
there
any
further
questions
or
comments.
T
A
Thank
you.
I'd
like
to
admire
before
you
begin
commission
reporting,
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
the
full
board
to
close
out
the
regular
meeting.
Here.
I
will
ask
for
a
motion
on
the
item
that
is
coming
up
from
the
recreation
committee.
A
motion
on
resolution
2021-186
resolution
go
ahead,
commissioner,
or
chair
french.
P
Again,
I'm
voting
on
this
with
the
support
of
council
rice
counseling
me
through
and
saying
that
I
could
vote
on
this
because
I'm
not
benefiting
from
it
and
my
vote
is.
I.
A
Matt
carries,
I
will
now
conclude
the
regular
meeting
of
the
board
by
going
through
decisions
and
communications,
starting
with
commissioner
bourne
I'll
pass.
N
Thank
you,
president
colgall.
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
sarah
chillow
and
our
aquatics
division
and
the
line
cooks
at
fat
lorenzo's
and
the
folks
that
were
eating
lunch,
that
that
ran
up
and
helped
lift
a
vehicle
off
of
cyclist
that
was
run
over
in
the
intersection
of
edgewater
boulevard
and
cedar
avenue
a
few
weeks
ago.
N
This
intersection
has
been
a
problem
for
decades.
Our
master
plan
calls
for
coordination
with
our
partners
at
the
city
and
county
to
identify
solutions
for
pedestrian
cyclists
and
automobile
traffic
safety.
N
N
A
E
P
P
P
I
bring
this
up
because
I
want
to
talk
more
about
the
importance
of
recreation
in
our
lives
and
and
the
work
that
we
should
be
doing
to
improve
recreation
for
all
of
us,
and
I
hope
that
this
stays
strong
with
you
folks
and
we
can
get
back
to
being
innovative
and
finding
ways
to
get
more
folks
out,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
visit
the
roller
gardens
if
you
get
a
chance.
P
They
have
adult
nights
on
tuesday,
thursday
friday
and
I
pretty
much
open
every
other
day
other
than
monday
for
for
children,
but
I
would
ask
for
you
to
attend
just
so.
You
can
see
what
it's
like
being
there
and
how
wonderful
environment
it
is
and
how
fortunate
we're
losing
it.
P
I'd
love
to
have
a
roller
skating,
rink
for
the
park
board
and
the
kids
of
minneapolis
if
that
opportunity
ever
arises,
but
I
thought
that
it
was
important
to
share
how
we're
losing
a
great
recreational
site
in
twin
cities.
Thank
you.
X
Yeah,
I
just
wanna
send
a
huge,
extremely
huge
shout
out
to
our
our
street
reach
team.
I
think
it
was
it
was,
was
it
was
it
was
yesterday.
X
X
They
just
you
know
they
just
did
a
great
job,
also
seeing
some
park
directors
out
there
as
well,
because
they've
seen
some
of
their
kids
out
there.
You
know
just
giving
ahead
and
being
supportive
and
just
making
sure
our
youth
the
chance
to
support.
You
know
having
chance
to
express
themselves
and
redress
some
of
the
issues
they
have
about
our
society
right
now
and
if
you
ever
get
a
chance
to
watch
some
kids
youth,
young
young
adults
express
how
they
feel
about
things
going
right
or
wrong.
X
It
was
literally
watching
young
people
grow
up
in
front
of
me
and
it
was
an
amazing
sight
and
I'm
glad
it
happened
at
a
park
where
they
felt
safe
to
come
and
express
their
feelings,
and
I'm
glad
I
got
to
be
a
part
of
that.
I'm
glad
I
get
to
sit
on
this
board
that
actually
makes
something
like
that
happen,
and
we
have
a
our
youth
workers,
our
street
reach
team.
Just
I
can't
say
enough
about
them,
and
just
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
our
park.
Employees
who
made
that
a
an
awesome
event.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
French
commissioner
bourney.
C
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
would
like
to
announce
an
event
for
next
thursday.
It's
the
next
generation
of
parks,
which
is
put
on
by
the
minneapolis
parks
foundation.
It's
called
the
sous
chefs
in
indigenous
food
movement.
It
starts
at
seven
o'clock
on
next
thursday.
You
can
register
it
online
with
the
minneapolis
parks
foundation.
C
I
think
it's
very
timely
that
we
have
the
couple
of
conversations
that
we
did
today.
First
of
all,
about
our
indigenous
community
and
then,
second
of
all
about
community
garden.
This
is
kind
of
a
weaving
of
both,
and
I
should
also
tell
you
that
at
the
last
next
generation
event
that
they
had,
I
think
they
had
over
600
people
that
were
part
of
that
virtual
event.
C
Anyway,
this
one's
very
exciting
sean,
sherman
and
damon
tom
dana
thompson,
who
are
the
co-owner
co-owners
of
the
sous
chef,
will
be
the
feature
and
they're
going
to
be
featuring,
are
previewing
awami,
which
is
saint
anthony,
falls
in
the
inner
relationship
that
they
have
the
planned
educational
and
cultural
experiences
that
the
the
park
and
the
pavilion
and
the
restaurant
are
going
to
be.
C
Having
with
that
and
they're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
the
restaurant's
role
of
the
broader
indigenous
economic
development
efforts
and
then,
lastly,
that
they
want
to
also
share
their
deeply
significant
relationship
with
the
dakota
people
that
have
have
with
awami.
C
A
D
Thank
you,
president
cogill
yeah,
commissioner
forney
happy
earth
date
to
everyone.
I
hope
you're
gonna
all
get
out
and
celebrate
by
cleaning
up
some
litter,
or
you
know
in
your
neighborhood
or
in
one
of
our
parks.
I
want
to
echo
commissioner
french's
sentiments.
Thanks
for
all
the
staff
who
have,
you
know
really
been
there
for
our
young
people
and
taking
the
time
in
this
challenging
year.
D
D
All
staff
that
have
taken
apart
to
make
things
feel
a
little
normal
as
normal
as
they
could
have
in
these
challenging
times,
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
staff
and
my
fellow
commissioners
on
having
a
great
summer
in
our
parks
as
best
as
they
can
be.
We
still
have
some
restrictions
on
what
we
can
do
outdoors,
but
it
feels
like
it's
coming
to
a
game
sooner
than
later.
So
I'm
excited
about
this
upcoming
summer
and
what
our
staff
and
what
commissioners
and
what
our
community
our
community
can
do
in
the
park.
A
Thank
you
vice
president
vita
thanks
everybody
for
the
meeting
this
evening.
I
know
we
still
have
one
more
committee
here,
but
I
appreciate
every
commissioner
on
this
board
and
all
of
the
work
that
we
are
grappling
with
right
now,
and
I
also
want
to
say
thanks
to
all
the
staff
for
all
their
work
through
the
last
few
months,
it's
been
a.
A
It
continues
to
be
a
challenging
and
transformative
time
in
the
city,
the
work
that
our
staff
do
being
out
in
the
community
being
in
our
park
system,
the
work
that
we
do
to
provide
spaces
for
people
to
reflect
and
and
think
and
gather
and
protest
and
and
do
all
of
those
things
is
critical
to
the
health
of
our
city,
and
I
appreciate
everybody's
work
to
make
sure
that
that
space
is
still
available
for
everybody.
We
can
practice
our
rights
exercise
our
rights
and
that
we
provide
space
that
is
accessible
to
everybody.

we

As

very
close
to
george
floyd
square,

this

has
had
a
lot
to
deal
with
in
the
last
year
and
helping
to
provide
more
programming
right
in
the
community
where
people
are
living
is
really
important.
C
You're
here
any
other
comments
or
concerns.
I
agree
so
much
with
mr
music
that
the
need
is
there

grateful
to
boys

working
together
collaboratively.
That's
what
it's
all
about.
So
