Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
Our
budget
committee
meeting
today
and
tomorrow
are
our
markup
meetings,
during
which
we
will
consider
amendments
to
the
mayor's
2023
recommended
budget.
At
this
point,
in
the
budget
committees
process,
we've
received
the
mayor's
2023
recommended
budget,
a
budget
overview
and
Department
presentations
and
held
public
hearings
number
one
and
number.
Two
and
after
we've
considered
All
amendments
to
the
mayor's
2023
recommended
budget,
we
will
send
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council
and
then
at
an
adjourned
city
council
meeting
on
December
6th
at
605
PM.
A
We
will
hold
public
hearing
number
three,
the
truth
in
taxation
hearing
and
we
will
vote
on
our
recommendation.
Council
members
have
been
given
an
amendment
packet
which
includes
the
amendment
submitted
by
council
members
as
well
as
legislative
directives
which
have
been
written
by
council
members
in
consideration
of
the
mayor's
2023
recommended
budget.
A
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
thank
and
I
thank
all
of
my
council
members
and
colleagues
for
submitting
amendments
and
change
items
in
a
timely
manner.
Also
I'd
like
to
thank
my
office
for
all
their
hard
work.
The
budget
director
Amelia
cruver
also
their
her
team
and
the
city
clerk
for
working
on
and
working
with
our
council
members
on
all
of
these
amendments
and
change
items
to
get
them
in
order
and
preparing
us
for
this
markup
meeting.
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Maybe
this
is
only
me,
but
I
am
concerned
about
the
fact
that
there
are
some
unavoidable
conflicts
for
Council
Members
tomorrow
and
that
potentially
could
change
the
outcome
of
some
of
these
amendments.
So
I'd
like
us
to
maybe
not
discuss
but
think
about
how
we
could
move
forward
in
an
expeditious
manner
today
without
a
massive
amount
of
debate,
so
that
we
can
get
all
of
the
Amendments
done
today,
because
I
am
concerned
that
there
will
be
a
different
outcome.
C
If
a
couple
people
aren't
here
and
then
those
amendments
will
want
to
be
brought
up
on
Tuesday
night,
which,
as
the
chair
said,
she's
not
anxious
to
be
here
till
midnight,
I,
don't
think
my
puppy
wants
that
either
so
I
don't
know
how
other
people
feel
about
it.
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
trial
balloon
this
with
a
couple
folks,
and
they
thought
it
was
a
good
idea.
I
would
just
urge
us
I'm,
not
saying
don't
talk
about
things,
but
there
isn't
really
a
reason
to
debate.
A
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
that
the
comments,
and
yes,
we
do
have
a
few
council
members
that
are
unfortunate
going
to
be
with
us
tomorrow
for
personal
reasons
and
want
to
make
sure
we
are
able
to
have
thorough
discussions,
but
also
keep
this
keep
this
in
mind
today,
as
we
continue
to
to
move
forward.
So,
let's
dive
in
to
the
amendment
packet.
A
D
A
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
colleagues,
this
government
structure
Amendment
before
you
aligns
our
budget
with
a
number
of
changes
that
we,
as
a
body
made
to
the
government
structure
ordinance
earlier
this
year
and
right
sizes,
a
number
of
departments
that
were
either
created
or
expanded
as
a
result
of
the
new
government
structure
ordinance.
Just
briefly,
it
moves
the
positions
originally
in
the
office
of
performance
and
Innovation
back
into
PMI
from
audit,
as
well
as
the
chief
resilience
position.
F
It
moves
two
full-time
positions
into
the
office
of
City
auditor
for
research
and
policy
work.
It
makes
whole
the
recently
created
Arts
and
Cultural
Affairs
Department.
It
fills
out
the
office
of
community
safety
with
two
full-time
positions,
and
it
creates
the
third
and
final
deputy
director
of
Public
Service
role.
This
amendment,
yet
again,
is
the
result
of
many
hours
of
work
by
first
volunteers,
then
City
staff
and
then
our
Council
to
set
up
a
new
form
of
government
for
early
success.
F
So
while
we
are
not
done
with
the
necessary
changes
to
ensure
long-term
success,
these
are
early
additions
to
begin
supporting
the
legislative
efforts
of
the
council
and
other
various
departments.
As
a
good
first
step,
so
I
want
to
thank
council
president
Jenkins
council,
member
Koski
and
the
mayor
for
their
efforts
to
build
this
out
and
I'll
move
this
forward.
F
A
A
B
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
colleagues.
As
you
know,
we're
currently
working
on
restructuring
all
of
our
appointed
boards
and
commissions,
including
our
police
conduct
oversight
Commission
under
the
leadership
of
council
president
Jenkins
we're
considering
an
ordinance
to
finalize
a
new
community
Commission
on
police
oversight
that
would
replace
the
pcoc
while
engaging
with
staff
residents
and
former
pcoc
Commissioners
re-received
feedback
that
helped
to
shape
the
budget
amendment
before
you
today
that
we
believe
will
set
this
body
up
for
greater
success
moving
forward,
so
to
speak
on
the
specifics
of
that
and
the
impacts.
G
Thank
you,
Council.
Vice
president
palmisano,
you
know
everyone
agrees.
We
do
need
a
civilian
oversight.
Commission
everyone
agrees
that
it
needs
to
be
fully
funded,
but
I
do
want
to
know.
There
is
current
disagreement
on
whether
or
not
the
current
ordinance
language
is
the
best
version
of
that
and
I
am
very
hopeful
that
the
the
new
ccpo
could
be
that,
but
in
this
current
state
it
isn't
and
I
want
to
say
on
record
again.
A
H
I
B
A
That
carries
our
next
amendment
is
from
me
and
the
council,
vice
president
I
will
be
introducing
the
amendment
Council.
Vice
president
Lanae,
palmisano
and
I
are
requesting
102
000
and
50
50
in
ongoing
funding
for
a
public
safety
auditor
for
the
city
auditor's
office,
internal
audit
division,
Public
Safety
operations
are
in
the
high
risk
category
of
the
City
of
Minneapolis
operations
and
for
that
reason,
merit's
continuous
monitoring
to
provide
this
monitoring.
Our
internal
audit
division
needs
a
dedicated
staff
member
whose
sole
focus
is
Public
Safety
operations.
A
The
mission
of
the
public
safety
auditor
will
be
to
serve
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
the
public
interest
by
providing
objective
services
that
enhance
our
ability
to
manage
risks,
improve
internal
controls,
optimize
efficiencies,
reduce
costs
and
strengthen
accountability.
Within
our
Public
Safety
operations.
A
The
public
safety
auditor
will
provide
the
services
normally
provided
by
internal
audit,
ongoing
risk
assessments,
Audits
and
consultations
and
investigations,
but
with
a
focus
on
Public
Safety
operations
and
the
city
departments
who
engage
in
public
safety
operations
which
are
9-1-1,
Emergency,
Management,
fire,
neighborhood
safety
and
police.
The
public
safety
editor
will
provide
oversight
over
our
public
safety
system
and
will
serve
as
an
Institutional
check
and
balance
on
the
executive
Branch's
authority
over
Public
Safety
operations
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
A
Our
public
safety
system
here
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
is
evolving
and
we
need
to
evolve
with
it.
In
this
government
structure
proposal,
internal
City
or
Ryan
Patrick
requested
the
addition
of
one
FTE
Public
Safety
auditor
to
the
internal
audit
division
in
2023
and
one
FTE
Public
Safety
auditor
to
the
internal
audit
division
in
2024..
This
amendment
meets
interim
City
auditor,
Ryan
Patrick's
request
for
one
FTE
Public
Safety
adder
in
2023,
and
allows
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
to
revisit
the
discussion
of
adding
an
additional
Public
Safety
Auditor
in
2024..
A
This
amendment
will
move
one
non-sworn
FTE
from
the
police
department
at
a
cost
of
102,
000
and
50
000
to
the
city,
auditor's
office,
internal
audit
division
and,
while
the
city
council
does
not
have
the
authority
to
choose
which
one
non-sworn
FTE
will
be
cut
from
the
police
department,
it
is
our
recommendation
that
the
police
department
cut
one
of
the
two
vacant
law
enforcement.
Auditor
positions
in
MPD
if
the
police
department
were
to
cut
one
of
the
two
vacant
law
enforcement
auditor
positions
at
MPD.
A
The
remaining
law
enforcement
auditor
position
could
continue
to
provide
the
more
on
the
ground
services
such
as
reviewing
Police
Operations,
internal
controls
and
systems,
identifying
areas
of
improvements
and
recommending
enhancements
to
operations.
And
if
the
police
department
Cuts
one
of
the
two
vacant
law
enforcement
auditor
positions
at
MPD.
When
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
revisits
the
discussion
of
adding
an
additional
Public
Safety
Auditor
in
2024,
we
can
discuss
whether
we
should
add
an
additional
law
enforcement
out
of
position
in
MPD
as
well.
A
I'll
note
that
in
preparing
to
bring
this
amendment
before
the
budget
committee
I
met
with
commissioner
Cedric
Alexander
Chief
Brian
O'hara
and
interim
City
auditor
Ryan
Patrick
to
discuss
the
purpose
of
the
amendment
and
the
impacts
of
the
amendment
on
the
police
department.
I've
been
working
with
the
interim
City
editor
Ryan,
Patrick
and
Council.
Vice
president
Lynette
palmisano
since
the
beginning
of
my
Council
term
to
bring
forward
a
public
safety
auditor
position
for
consideration
and
I'm
proud
to
put
it
forward
for
consideration.
A
J
K
B
A
L
Thank
you
much.
So
thank
you
very
much
chair.
You
guys
might
notice
that
the
amendment
this
amendment
looks
a
lot
like
the
last
Amendment
the
position.
The
auditor
position
in
the
police
department
that
we
just
moved
and
I
think
that
councilmemberkowski
just
made
a
really
compelling
case
for
why
to
move
was
envisioned
as
a
pair
of
Auditors
in
that
department.
I
think
we
should
be
keeping
the
pair
together.
It's
an
audit
position.
I
think
it
belongs
in
the
auditor.
L
Department
I
know
that
we
can
always
revisit
this
conversation
to
add
these
positions
in
later
years,
but
I
think
right.
Now
is
the
right
time
for
us
to
start
sending
the
groundwork
not
only
for
these
Auditors,
who
are
going
to
specifically
be
focused
on
MPD
issues,
but
also
in
preparation
for
the
for
the
the
the
the
monitor
that
we're
going
to
have
for
the
various
consent.
L
Decrees
that
we
are
in
negotiation
to
be
under,
and
so
this
simply
keeps
the
two
Auditors
that
were
envisioned
to
be
a
pair
in
MPD
and
keeps
them
a
pair
within
what
I
think
is
the
appropriate
Department,
which
is
the
audit
department
and
that's
all
I
got
and
I
will
and
I
will.
You
know,
move
approval
of
this
of
this
motion.
I'll
make
a
motion.
G
G
You
know,
or
basically
the
reasons
why
these
positions
being
moved
into
MPD
is
actually
Factor
allies
to
why
we
have
not
seen
a
lot
of
applicants
flow
into
fulfilling
these
positions,
and
it
does
seem
like
there
is
a
major
conflict
of
interest
in
having
these
positions
stay
solely
in
MPD,
and
you
know
I
think,
with
them
being
moved
to
audit
it.
There
could
be
that
that
thorough
professional
audit
function
that's
going
to
be
needed
to
support
our
accountability,
efforts
and
oversight
efforts
over
MPD.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
this
amendment.
A
K
M
B
A
G
Thank
you
budget
chair,
so
this
amendment
is
simply
about
allocating
our
research
Contracting
dollars
to
align
with
the
government
restructure.
You
know,
starting
in
January.
The
new
legislative
department
is
going
to
be
tasked
with
supporting
this
council
with
our
legislative
and
policy
making
functions
through
nonpartisan
research,
evaluation
and
Analysis,
and
while
we
continue
to
grow
this
new
legislative
Department,
you
know
more
dollars
and
FTE
should
be
allocated.
But
this
25
000
from
four
departments
is
a
modest
First
Step
that
will
have
a
tremendous
impact.
A
N
N
Thank
you
for
that
clarification,
so
my
concern
is
specifically
around
the
25
000.
That's
coming
out
of
the
health
department.
It
is
my
understanding
that
this
could
possibly
cause
some
hardship
in
that
department,
so
I'm
willing
to
support.
But
maybe
we
look
at
some
of
the
larger
you
just
name
some
departments,
I
think
you
said
17
million
or
something
like
that
like
if
we
could
look
at
maybe
reallocating
the
money
to
those
three
departments
instead
of
all
four
and
leaving
Health
out
of
it.
G
Thank
you,
Vita
we've
been
in
conversations
with
commissioner
Heidi
around
this
particular
amendment,
I.
Think,
of
course,
we
would
like
to
see
next
year,
as
we
talk
about
this.
Like
other
ways
in
which
we
can
you
know
fulfill
that
Gap,
but
the
25
000
felt
manageable,
at
least
for
this
year,
to
give
us
that
that
Gap
coverage.
A
O
Thank
you
chairkovski
for
the
question
and
council
members,
so
my
understanding
is
with
the
ongoing
funding.
We
wouldn't
really
be
able
to
use
contractual
funding
for
that,
because
we
would
need
to
look
at
an
ongoing
funding
source
and
with
those
contracts
they're
generally
one
time,
and
so
we
would
have
to
probably
look
at
Personnel
costs.
We
have
a
very,
very
small,
non-personnel
general
fund,
and
so
we
don't
really
have
any
other
general
fund
to
pull
from.
O
P
And
so,
if
it's
the
body's,
you
know
if
you
would
indulge
that
I
think
just
to
make
sure
that
the
increase
of
the
three
is
certainly
within
their
scope.
That
would
give
us
a
chance
to
come
back
and
know
what
that
impact
is
happy
to
make
the
the
change.
But
if,
if
the
body
were
to
maybe
move
to
the
next
one,
given
that
we're
moving
and
that
they
can
confer
and
come
back
and
tell
us
what
the
amounts
are,
it
may
be
that
it's
not
an
equal
distribution
in
order
to
minimize
any
impact.
A
C
C
That's
what
I
said,
yeah
I
think
I
kind
of
feel
like
she.
She
spread
the
pain.
Oh
I,
see
people
open
their
heads,
I
kind
of
feel
like
what
she
did
was
she
took
an
approach
of
kind
of
sharing
it
around
a
bunch
of
different
departments
and
I
feel
like
it
puts
us
in
this
very
odd
position
of
saying.
Well,
we
like
Health,
more
than
public
works,
or
we
like
police
more
than
we
like
seabed
that
feels
a
bit
uncomfortable
and
I
feel
like
councilmember
wansley,
spread
it
out
to
spread
it
out
now.
C
If
there
isn't
4.1
million
dollars
in
contractual
services
in
the
health
department,
that's
what
councilmember
wansley
said
there
was
so
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
is
a
drop
in
the
bucket
I'm.
Just
curious.
Why
we're
getting
different
shaking
heads
from
different
people
and
I
don't
want
to
be
put
in
the
position
of
choosing
departments
and
department
heads
we
like
more
than
others
to
take
money
from,
because
some
have
lobbied
against
any
reduction
in
their
budget.
Adam.
P
C
P
Want
to
make
sure
I,
just
correct
I
shook
my
head
the
wrong
way.
This
is
ongoing,
cuts
to
those
departments,
not
one
time
and
so
to
clarify
it's
an
ongoing
cut
to
any
of
the
Departments
that
are
listed
if
we
reduce
the
health
department
from
this
we're
talking,
8
300
plus
some
dollars
that
come
that
go
to
the
other
three
that
remain
again
happy
to
do
that.
N
O
A
G
P
Madam,
chair,
I
I
won't
be
able
to
repeat
the
total
motion,
but
if
the
motion
before
us
is
to
take
off
number
four
on
item
six,
this
is
amendment
number
six
from
wansley.
It
leaves
in
play
the
public
works
department,
the
cped
department
and
the

Services
Department.
It
increases
the
deduction
from
each
of
those

by
approximately
eight
thousand

meaning
that
each

moves
from

A

You
chair
Koski,
so
this
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
is
included
in
this
amendment
will
be
leveraged
with
the
650
000
from
the
green
infrastructure
fund
that
is
currently
funded
through
storm
water
fees.
This
combined
effort
between
stormwater
funds
and
general
funds
allows
the
city
to
establish
a
comprehensive
green
infrastructure
maintenance
program
that
would
maintain
City
on

It
will
also
establish
a
long-term,
sustainable
Landscaping
program
that
will
build
green
job

for
youth
who
are
looking
to
build.
You
know
their
careers.

This
investment
in
into
sustainable

will
create
two

next

and
we'll
build
into
a
team
of
six

by
2026.

You
know,
especially
those
who
live
in

and

of

receive
abundant
benefits
from
this

around
and
I
just
want
to
also
thank
council
president
Jenkins
for
co-authoring
this
with
us.
G
This
is
definitely
responsive
to
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we've
been
moving
in
the
public
works
committee
around
strengthening
not
only
our
green
Workforce,
but
also
really
strengthening
that
and
tangent
with
Grant
infrastructure
efforts
as
well.
I
did
want
to
note,
too,
that
you
will
see
a
revised
addendum
or
a
copy
of
this
Motion
in
front
of
you.
We
spoke
with
a
number
of
council
members,
as
well
as
commissioner
Margaret
Anderson
Kelleher
about
the
funding
source
on
this.
G
A
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
State.
You
know
my
gratitude
to
councilmember
wansley
for
bringing
this
motion
forward
and
I'm
happy
to
be
a
co-author
I.
Think.
Not
only
does
it
support
our
green
jobs,
initiatives
and
climate
change
goals,
but
also
I
think,
can
help
create
safety
in
terms
of
maintaining
these
traffic
circles,
curb
plantings,
Etc
that
sometimes
grow
out
of
control
and
can
conflate
sight
lines
or
residents
Etc
et
cetera,
so
really
happy
to
support
this
motion
today.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
also
want
to
pass
my
thanks
on
to
councilman
Walmsley
for
this
amendment.
As
we
realize
pedestrian
safety
traffic
calming
includes
traffic
circles,
pedestrian
Refuge,
which
is
my
favorite
I,
think
of
the
the
recently
installed
one
on
2nd
Street,
Northeast
and
Third
Avenue,
and
it's
terrible.
There
are
weeds
in
that
that
are
hip
high.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
that
way,
so
thank
you.
I
will
be
supporting
this
event.
R
B
A
Motion
carries
all
right.
Our
next
amendment
is
from
council
member
Vita.
It
is
my
understanding
that
councilman
retail
has
pulled
the
original
version
and
has
submitted
a
revised
version.
We
should
all
have
that
in
front
of
us.
This
is
number
eight
and
so
consumer
Vita.
Could
you
please
introduce
your
Amendment.
N
Thank
you,
chair
Koski,
yes,
my
amendment
is
for
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
be
allocated
to
the
to
North
Minneapolis
for
light
improvements
for
Led
street
light
improvements,
and
this
amendment
is
specific
to
the
north
side.
And
yet
you
are
correct.
The
amount
has
changed
from
the
original.
Hopefully
everyone
has
the
revised.
J
M
B
A
S
Thank
you
turkovsky.
This
is
motion,
number
nine
on
neighborhood
traffic
calming
and
traffic
calming
measures.
This
amends
the
the
existing
operational
fund
within
the
Public
Works
general
fund
to
appropriate
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
one
time
for
traffic
calming
for
the
neighborhood
traffic
calming
program
in
2023.
The
operating
cost
budget
in
this
fund
has
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
allocated
in
it.
It's
a
total
of
an
eight
million
dollar
fund
and
this
change
item
allocates
an
additional
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
this
work
for
context.
S
That's
half
of
a
percent
of
this
total
fund,
which
is
just
one
section
of
the
total
Public
Works
budget.
It's
it's
barely
a
drop
in
the
bucket,
and
this
would
pay
for
an
additional
five
to
ten
neighborhood
traffic
calming
projects
being
completed.
If
this
is
approved
by
this
body,
then
a
total
of
15
to
30
projects
would
be
completed
across
the
city
in
2023,
fully
paid
for
by
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
adhering
to
a
new
Equitable
and
transparent
process
that
our
Public
Works
team
has
been
working
to
implement
for
the
last
two
years.
A
C
You
mad
I'm
sure
I
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
council
member
Chuck
Tai,
but
good
for
you.
I
think
this
is
a
really
good
thing
to
do.
I
have
been
critical
of
the
Public
Works
process
to
deal
with
traffic
calming
because
when
you
know
that
we
have
6
000
requests
and
we
encourage
neighbors
to
tell
us
what
their
traffic
coming
priorities
are
and
we
get
I,
don't
know
five,
six
thousand
requests.
We
say
we're
going
to
do.
10
I
would
say
why
even
bother.
C
E
T
T
To
do
something
about
this
and
you
know
get
those
flashing
lights,
one
of
the
very,
very
busy
streets
in
the
city
that
children
play
and
children
across
it's
very
unsafe,
and
you
know
if
if
our
office
is
having
difficult
for
really,
you
know
letting
the
department
know
that
this
is.
We
need
this
service
to
be
done,
then
I,
don't
know
how
the
public
will
be
listened
to.
So
this
is
a
great
start
and
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
increase
more
funding
here
in
the
upcoming
a
budget
process.
N
H
A
B
A
D
D
So
it
would
work
with
this
amendment
with
Community
leaders
and
public
works
department
itself,
and
basically
we'll
support
the
exploration
and
design
and
development
of
neighborhood
beautification
program
that
will
allow
unhoused
residents,
shelter,
residents
and
more
folks
to
get
paid
to
clean
up
our
neighborhoods
with
an
opportunity
for
them
to
be
able
to
go
into
the
workforce
for
Workforce,
Development
and
greater
opportunities.
So
this
has
been
really
important
in
Phillips
in
my
award,
I
would
say:
consumer
osman's
Ward
as
well.
You
know
that
community
members
deserve
to
live
in
clean
neighborhoods
on
house.
D
Residents
deserve
an
opportunity
to
get
good
paying
jobs
to
get
back
on
their
feet,
and
this
just
helps
with
the
idea
that,
in
order
to
address
homelessness,
we
need
to
address
the
ecosystem
around
someone.
We
need
to
address
mental
health,
addictions,
employment
and
housing
and
I
just
hope
to
gain
everyone's
support.
A
T
Thank
you,
council,
member
Chavez,
for
bringing
this
forward
I
just
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
we
are
dealing
with
this
problem
as
you've
seen
the
neighborhood
of
Ward,
6
and
Ward
9
encampments
are
more
common
in
that
area.
We
got
to
keep
the
public
safe
and
I
visited
yesterday
on
right
here
on
summer,
Crossing
on
I'll
see
the
Riverside
area,
it's
Min,
dot,
Lan,
but
folks
over
there
really
need
help,
and
the
smallest
thing
we
can
do
is
kind
of
make
sure
that
sanitation
is
available.
B
A
U
You,
madam
chair,
this
amendment
would
move
three
ftes
over
to
the
Performance
Management
and
Innovation
Department
from
MPD
I.
Think
we're
all
pretty
familiar
with
this
Department's
work.
They've
done
an
absolute
ton
of
work,
I
sent
out
a
project
list
that
I
had
requested
from
the
Department.
Their
workload
has
only
grown
as
their
team
is
slightly
smaller
than
it
originally
started,
and
yet
even
just
one
of
their
projects
alone
has
had
the
equivalent
savings
for
MPD
of
55
to
80
FTE
of
sworn
officers.
U
U
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
I'd
be
remiss
to
not
speak
on
behalf
of
this
amendment.
I
come
to
this
desk
by
way
of
performance
and
Innovation
and
I
can
really
attest
to
the
the
fact
that
the
team
is
mighty,
but
it
is
quite
small
and
it's
been
able
to
accomplish
a
lot
given
its
size
and
I,
really
think
that
you
know,
starting
as
a
grant
funded
team
over
five.
M
H
Q
V
Chair
and
council
members,
so
in
the
budget
and
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
which
you
are
taking
up
today,
we
have
reserved
two
million
dollars
of
our
obligated
fund
balance
for
reacting
to
the
consent
decree.
Now
those
funds
will
be
available
when
we
have
an
agreement
before
us.
So
there's
lots
of
steps
between
now
and
then
we
need
the
initial
report
from
the
federal
government.
We
will
negotiate
and
we
will
come
to
an
eventual
agreement
about
the
actions
that
the
city
will
take.
V
At
that
point,
we
can
assign
funds
from
this
Reserve
to
implement
those
legal
requirements
of
the
consent
decree,
including
things
like
a
monitor
or
any
other
required
tasks.
So
the
that
two
million
dollar
portion
is
for
reacting
to
the
final
agreement.
I
just
want
to
address.
Also
we
have
a
contingency
within
our
budget,
which
is
a
separate
thing.
Our
financial
policies
require
us
to
have
one
percent
of
our
general
fund
spending
held
as
a
contingency
to
handle
any
unexpected
cost
overruns
during
the
year.
So
that's
to
handle
emergencies.
That's
not
to
planfully
react
to
something.
V
Q
U
My
point
is
that,
as
we
have
a
consent
decree
before
us,
when
that
happens,
mid-year
that
we're
adequately
resourcing
the
department
based
off
of
that.
So
that's
my
statement
is
that
when
that
comes
forward,
we're
going
to
know
what
the
need
is
and
we're
going
to
be
able
to
adequately
support
MPD
with
the
resources
that
they
need.
W
Thank
you,
madam
chair
president.
Members
of
the
council.
Excuse
me
my
my
only
concern
in
impacts
is
is
exactly
what
the
the
council
member
stated
in
terms
of
us
being
prepared
for
what's
coming
ahead
next
year.
That's
that's
the
main
concern
having
been
through
a
consent,
decree
process
and
having
collaborated
with
other
people
trying
to
figure
this
out
in
other
cities
across
the
country.
W
I
know
what
it
looks
like
in
terms
of
being
able
to
have
the
capacity
to
deal
with
that,
and
that
will
require
us
to
have
to
have
additional
people
to
deal
with
that.
My
concern,
you
know
as
I'm
I'm
new
in
this
role
and
learning
how
the
budget
process
works
in
this
city
and
in
this
state
I
have
learned
that
the
the
sworn
Staffing
for
next
year
is
at
the
the
legal
requirement,
I
guess
for
the
number
of
people
we
must
have.
W
So,
while
we're
going
to
do
everything
possible
to
fill
those
numbers,
I
would
imagine
that
it's
possible.
We
would
have
accruals
on
the
sworn
side
and
typically,
what
I
would
do
in
my
previous
role
is
I
would
move
those
accruals
into
civilian
Staffing
just
to
to
meet
that
demand.
But
what
I've
learned
here
is:
that's
not
quite
that
easy,
particularly
because
we're
at
this
this
minimum
Staffing.
W
So
because
of
that,
that's
my
concern
and
I
know
we
will
be
paying
a
monitor
at
some
point
and
then
that
that
will
likely
go
into
the
millions
it
could
be.
You
know
that'll
be
determined
by
the
agreement
right,
so
we
don't
know
specifically
what
that
cost
would
be,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
doesn't
actually
do
anything
for
us
when
we
pay
the
monitor
it's
up
to
us
to
figure
this
out
and
I.
W
Think
it's
likely
that,
in
addition
to
just
having
the
capacity
within
the
police
department
to
move
quickly
to
be
able
to
sort
of
measure
where
we
are
in
terms
of
implementation
and
to
be
able
to
check
things
very
quickly,
like
not
waiting
for
like
a
formal
audit
process
over
the
course
of
a
year
to
then
go
back
and
make
a
change.
I
need
civilian
people
who
can
work
here
and
work
at
my
pace
so
that
we're
not
wasting
any
time
in
times
of
in
terms
of
making
change
real
and
coming
into
compliance.
W
W
So
those
are
my
only
concerns
just
being
able
to
have
the
ability
to
build
capacity
in
the
police
department
so
that
we
are
not
wasting
time
and
that
we
were
actually
you
know
ensuring
that
we're
able
to
make
adjustments
before
a
monitor
comes
in,
takes
their
time
doing,
assessments
and
then
issues
a
public
report
saying
we're
not
actually
doing
what
we
were.
What
we
said,
that's,
ultimately,
what
I
see
happening.
A
A
T
Want
to
yeah
how
many
staff?
What
do
you
need
in
your
department
to
be
to
do
your
work
and
adding
these
three
steps?
You
know
what
kind
of
work
will
they
be
focusing
on
and
have
you
talked
to
the
mayor
and
Buddha
request
of
how
many
full-time
employees
you
need
to
do
to
be
more
effective
in
your
job.
I
I
Position
I
get
confused
myself
and
my
boss,
Fatima
more
Deputy
City
coordinator
and
the
city
coordinator,
Heather
Johnson
met
with
the
mayor's
staff
and
told
them
about
the
ftes
that
we
needed
for
the
department,
and
so
we
gave
them
the
most
ideal
scenario,
as
well
as
the
minimum
that
we
need
to
keep
up
with
the
projects
that
we
have
now,
where
we're
kind
of
underwater
in
the
upcoming
projects,
and
so
that
was
shared
with
with
the
mayor's
office.
We
also
with
the
list
of
projects
that
we
have.
I
It
looms
so
large
that
I
had
to
take
my
entire
staff
of
just
I
only
have
five
staff.
We
had
to
take
that
entire
team
just
to
work
for
almost
two
and
a
half
years
to
build
the
BCR,
while
also
working
simultaneously
on
the
other
projects
that
we
had
to
work
on.
So
it's
always
a
kind
of
like
borrow
and
steal
from
here.
Do
this
do
that
and
it
it
continues
to
push
some
timelines
back
further,
depending
on
what
Norms
large
at
the
time.
I
Was
that
it
okay
and
so
yeah?
Ideally,
we
would
just
need
two
analysts
to
support
each
one
of
the
managers
that
we
have
in
our
divisions
of
work,
because
right
now
we're
just
moving
analysts
from
one
project
to
another,
and
you
have
analysts
trying
to
help
support
16
projects
as
opposed
to
four,
which
would
be
more
feasible
and
easier
to
do.
I
A
I
S
S
To
do
that,
you
will
find
overwhelming
agreement
from
everyone
up
here
to
do
that
work.
We
are
all
committed
to
it.
That's
why
the
consent?
Decrees,
like
implementation
and
compliance
money
has
a
two
million
dollar
obligation
in
our
2023
general
fund
money
that
obligation
that
two
million
dollars
isn't
coming
out
of
your
budget.
It's
actually
coming
out
of
a
thing
that
exists
in
our
City's
overall
budget
as
a
result
of
our
financial
policies
which
tell
us
we
have
to
set
aside
a
certain
percentage.
S
The
director
Hoover
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
believe
it's
somewhere
around
17
20
of
our
total
general
fund.
We
have
to
set
it
aside
as
money
that
isn't
allocated
for
any
Department
isn't
set
aside
for
any
it's,
not
touchable
money.
None
of
us
can
touch
it
and
it's
put
there
so
that
we
don't
go
into
debt
so
that
we
can
move
it
and
maneuver.
S
If
there's,
if
there's
some
sort
of
Crisis
that
happens,
the
pandemic
is
a
really
good
example
of
it
and
that
money
account
it
adds
up
to
somewhere
close
to
100
million
dollars
in
every
single
budget,
so
that
two
million
dollars
we're
talking
about
potentially
even
more,
isn't
coming
out
of
your
budget.
It's
coming
out
of
more
likely
than
not
this
other
general
fund
obligation.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
with
every
respect
to
my
colleagues
here.
I
have
a
little
bit
different
perspective
on
this.
I
will
not
be
able
to
support
this
amendment
throughout
this
year.
This
Council
supported
moving
the
majority
of
the
positions
and
performance
evaluation
responsibilities
out
of
OPI
and
into
our
new
legislative
audit.
Department,
then
months
later,
this
body
changed
its
mind
and
moved
those
positions
back
and
elevated
OPI
from
a
division
into
a
department
now
called
PMI.
F
F
H
F
F
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
think.
That's
the
part,
that's
relevant
to
this
budget
amendment,
and
my
point
was
simply
that
we
have
these
additional
positions
to
be
filled
and
to
move
into
or
move
things
around
to,
and
it
seems
feels
to
me
premature
to
then
add
three
more
open
new
FTE
positions
into
it.
At
this
point
in
time.
H
It
just
seems
to
me
that
we
we
have
a
pretty
large
body
of
work
already
owned
by
that
department.
We
know
what
the
capacity
it
took
to
get
to
where
we
are
now,
and
we
know
we
have
a
lot
more
work
that
needs
to
happen
on
the
horizon
likely
going
to
be
informed
and
mandated
by
a
consent
decree.
This
seems
very
wise
to
me
to
make
this
type
of
investment.
A
G
G
We
have
a
interim
director
with
Heidi
and
yet
even
in
the
prior
amendments
that
we
support
it,
it's
very
clear
that
we
also
believe
that
we
want
to
continue
investments
in
public
health.
Despite
whatever
is
happening
around
the
director
role,
it
would
make
sense
if
we're
allowing
that
president
of
work
to
happen
with
the
public
health
department.
There
should
be
alignment
also
with
our
new
office
of
performance
and
Innovation.
G
So
I
I
don't
see
how
we
could
make
a
exemption
for
P
I'm.
Sorry
I'm
still
going
to
call
you
director,
Smith
OPI,
like
until
we
you
know,
but
we
we
can
make
exemption
for
public
health
and
not
also
extend
that
same
support
to
this
department
as
well.
So
I
don't
understand
why
we're
kind
of
picking
and
choosing
on
that
basis.
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
respond
to
something
that
Council
vice
president
said
about
it
being
premature.
You
know,
in
this
case
we
have
a
department
with
an
own
workload.
We
know
they're,
adding
value
specifically
on
the
public
safety
side.
We
know
there's
opportunities
around
Performance,
Management
and
Improvement
within
the
police
department.
It
certainly
seems
appropriate
to
me
that
these
three
positions
would
be
staffed
towards
that
and
helping
with
that
and
I
would
just
say
if
we're
worried
about
doing
something
prematurely,
I
would
be
worried
about
prematurely
saying
with
the
consent
decree.
A
B
A
A
G
Thank
you
chairkovski,
so
this
amendment
will
shift
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
funding
away
from
a
youth
program
run
by
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
and
direct
those
dollars
towards
Performance,
Management
and
Innovation.
To
study
how
the
City
of
Minneapolis
can
move
forward
with
the
new
program
dedicated
to
victim
Services.
G
Since
it
is
a
stated
intention
of
the
mayor
and
the
council
for
the
new
office
of
community
safety
to
truly
be
comprehensive,
it's
imperative
that
we
began
developing
a
victim
Service
program.
Victim
services
are
an
important
part
of
comprehensive
healing
restoration
and
Public
Safety.
The
department
of
Performance,
Management
and
Innovation
is
also
ready
to
bring
together
stakeholders
from
across
the
city
and
and
externally
to
study
victim
service
models,
and
this
will
help
us
get
a
sense
of
what
are
some
of
the
best
practices
for
supporting
residents
after
tragic
events.
G
Also,
I
do
want
to
note.
You
know
the
funding
for
the
study
is
coming
from
mpd's
peace,
Pathways,
and
also
highlighting
the
fact
that
you
have
testified.
You
know
just
as
back
in
2018
about
their
experience
with
sexual
harassment
and
inappropriate
behavior
by
officers
leading
youth
programs
and
no
one.
As
of
yet
from
MPD
has
explained
how
they
plan
to
ensure
that
what
happened
to
those
youth
never
happens
again.
G
G
I
also
want
to
also
thank
a
previous
MPD
youth
Explorer,
a
participant
and
leader
Emma
Peterson
for
also
sharing
their
support
and
also
their
enthusiasm
about
helping
be
part
of
a
victim
service
initiative
here
at
the
city.
So
again
there
it's
very
clear
that
there's
public
support
from
residents
across
the
city
and
really
having
the
city
take
this
unique
opportunity
to
do
some
Innovative
work
around
this
and
I've
moved.
This
motion.
H
A
Q
Q
A
U
You,
madam
chair
I,
agree
with
council
president
on
this.
You
know,
I
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
Mr
Smith.
It
looks
like
we
lost
him
here.
It
sounds
like
there
is
a
way
to
get
this
work
done.
If
this
funding
is
not
approved,
that
there
might
be
some
other
resources
available
from
other
funding
sources
and
from
these
three
staff
that
are
available
as
well,
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
either
Miss
Moore
or
our
chief
interim
Chief
Operating
Officer
Johnston
are
able
to
answer
that
at
all
without
Mr
Smith
here.
U
A
X
Sure
Koski
councilmember
Johnson,
so
it
was
this
specifically
to
the
this
is
specifically
to
the
developing
the
directory
piece.
I
was
a
little
okay
which
so,
if
you
could
clarify
the
question
for
me,
please
I
do
think
that
PMI
should
now
you've
got
me
doing
it.
Councilman
wansley
PMI
should
be
able
to
to
take
on
this
kind
of
work.
G
You
chair
Koski,
so
and
sorry
it's
from
coronary
Johnson,
if
you
could
come
back
up
so
from
my
understanding,
you
know,
I
have
a
conversation
with
also
OPI.
It
was
my
understanding
that
you
know
part
of
their
workload
had
included
any
type
of
legislative
director
from
this
directive
from
this
body
to
do
exploration
of
victim
Services.
X
G
Follow-Up
of
that,
in
terms
of
just
and
I,
want
to
note
that
this
is
not
a
referendum
or
capacity.
It's
a
referendum
of.
Does
this
body
see
a
prioritization
of
victim
service
work?
You
know,
that's
something
that
we
would
like
to
move
forward,
and,
if
so,
would
you
then
recommend?
Is
this
something
we
take
up
through
a
legislative
directive
to
say:
hey
this
body
is
in
support
of
it.
Opi
has
the
resources
and
capacity
to
do
this
now.
Is
that
more
of
a
appropriate
direction
to
make
sure
that
there's
alignment
around
this
council.
X
Member
Cassie
or
cheerkowski
apologize,
chairkowski
council
member
wansley
I
think
as
we
move
into
the
first
quarter,
we've
talked
about
having
some
more
clarification
of
work
plans
with
respect
to
some
of
these
types
of
issues,
and
in
that
case,
that
would
be
an
appropriate
time
to
have
that
conversation
about
prioritizing
some
of
those
policy
directives.
So.
G
Please
forgive
me
I'm
just
a
little
confused
now,
because
you
shared
interim
coordinator
that
this
work
is
being
factored
that's.
What
I'm
hearing
from
OPI
that
this
is
already
work
that
they're
doing
so
that
there's
concerns
that
this
might
be
duplicative,
but
I'm.
Just
saying
is:
is
this
work
happening
and
if
so,
does
the
legislative
body
need
to
make
sure
we
take
a
vote
to
ensure
that
alignment.
X
Council,
member
chairkowski
council
member
wanzi-
it's
not
my
intent
to
say
that
this
work
is
currently
underway.
It's
my
intent
to
say
that
I'm,
my
understanding
of
the
directions
that
just
happened
is
that
there
were
three
additional
positions
given
to
PMI.
In
that
case,
this
is
certainly
work
that
could
be
prioritized
among
the
work
that's
associated
with
those
three
positions
positions.
If
that's
the
will
of
the
body.
X
All
right,
council,
member
Koski,
I'm,
sorry
chairkowsky,
council,
member
wansley
the
work
that
I,
let
me
clarify
the
work
that
is
underway
currently
is
related
to
the
directory,
which
I
think
is
the
subject
of
a
future
Amendment
of
of
gender
forming
providers.
I
think
I
had
my
amendments
confused
in
my
head.
So
did
that
help
can.
G
D
D
J
K
A
N
You
chair
Koski,
this
amendment
brought
by
councilman
president
Jenkins
and
I,
is
a
one-time
allocation
of
seventy
thousand
dollars
to
help
develop
a
public-facing,
comprehensive
holistic
directory
of
providers
who
offer
affirming
services
to
the
lgbtq
community
to
lgbtq,
plus
communities
and
communities
with
HIV.
We've
had
meetings
with
our
staff
and
we're
happy
to
bring
this
forward,
and
if
the
council
presidents
want
to
add
anything
else
to
that.
Q
Just
state
that
you
know
this,
this
will
be
an
important
directory
for
our
communities,
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
communities
to
have
do
want
to
ensure
that
we
will
have
an
RFP
that
will
seek
out
an
appropriate
organization
to
develop
this
directory
and
that
it
includes
all
people
who
are
offering
these
kinds
of
services
and
not
show
any
sort
of
favoritism
to
one
healthcare
provider
versus
another
and
so
yeah.
Looking
forward
to
having
this
directory
and
hope,
my
colleagues
can
support
this
Amendment
today.
A
J
M
A
H
Q
A
Y
You
chair,
Koski
and
council
members,
so
respectfully
I
think.
The
idea
here
is
an
important
idea.
However,
I
do
need
to
point
out
to
you
all
where
this
money
is
coming
from.
The
Department
of
Public
Works,
like
many
departments,
took
Cuts
during
the
pandemic
to
be
able
to
help
balance
the
city
budget.
Y
The
mayor
recommended
a
number
of
positions
service
worker,
one
positions
that
helps
us
get
closer
to
back
to
full
complement
I
want
to
share
with
you
what
these
workers
do.
This
is
a
permanent
cut
to
the
Department
of
Public
Works.
With
this
move,
these
workers
from
the
position
description
are
the
very
people
who
will
install
the
traffic
calming
they're,
the
very
people
who
drive
skid,
steers
to
clear
snow.
They
drive
snow
plows,
they
fill
potholes,
they
break
up
concrete.
Y
They
do
our
mowing.
They
collect
our
garbage.
It
is
1.6
ftes
that
would
be
removed
from
the
Department.
There
would
be
a
service
impact
and
I'm
sharing
that
with
you,
because,
like
I
said,
you
know
no
doubt
that
everything
councilmember
pain
and
president
Jenkins
said
are
very
important
things.
It's
the
objection
to
where
the
money's
coming
from.
A
K
M
B
A
S
Thank
you
tarkovsky.
This
is
motion,
number
15,
which
is
implementation
for
the
city's
Municipal
ID
program
planning
for
that
for
that
implementation,
creating
the
plan
for
it,
so
I
am
really
excited
to
bring
this.
This
amendment
to
our
body,
I
want
to
break
this
introduction
down
into
three
separate
buckets.
The
first
is
speaking
specifically
to
the
half
of
us
on
this
dice
who
are
new
to
the
city.
S
S
S
S
The
ordinance
tells
us
that
actual
implementation,
so
printing
the
cards
and
giving
them
to
someone
cannot
live
with
with
the
with
NCR
or
the
coordinator's
office,
or
anybody
else
that
actually
lives
with
the
clerk's
office.
What
those
cards
look
like
and
what
types
of
problems
they're
trying
to
solve
for
and
how
many
do
we
need
and
exactly?
How
much
is
that
going
to
cost?
That's
work?
We
don't
know
right
now,
because
we
didn't
complete
the
implementation
work
right
now
that
the
landscape
Escape
has
shifted.
S
We
need
somebody
to
go
out
and
gather
all
of
that
information
go
back
to
all
of
those
partners
that
were
ready
to
accept
Municipal
ID
as
a
valid
form
of
identification.
Some
of
them
don't
exist
anymore,
like
one
of
our
financial
institutions,
others
have
an
interest
in
being
a
part
of
it,
so
this
gives
us
time
to
do
that
work,
knowing
that
it
is
not
going
to
be
something
that
the
entire
NCR
department
is
going
to
move
all
of
their
priorities.
S
S
Third,
let's
talk
about
the
funding
source.
Yes,
this
takes
money
from
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department's
money.
The
Source
itself
is
the
Department's
law
enforcement
support
fund.
It's
where
things
like
our
contract
with
the
BCA
to
help
us
with
investigations
or
with
State
Patrol,
to
help
with
presence
and
law
enforcement
in
our
in
our
most
dangerous
or
busiest
corridors.
S
S
We
have
things
that
have
shifted
with
the
sheriff's
office
and
we
may
enter
into
a
new
contract
with
them.
That's
great.
The
base
funding
for
this
Fund
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
is
actually
1.8
million
dollars.
Then
there's
a
change
item
that
adds
an
additional
1.5
million
dollars
to
it,
bringing
it
up
to
3.2
million
dollars
in
a
fund
where
historically,
we've
never
spent
more
than
a
million
dollars.
S
That's
great,
of
course,
the
goal
is
always
to
spend
all
of
the
money.
That's
given
to
you,
but
realistically
this
is
a
place
where
we
can
take
some
money
without
risking
services
and
without
risking
programs
and
outcomes
that
we're
all
committed
to
with
that
I
hope
to
receive
your
support
on
this
motion.
A
Thank
you
customer
tug
Tai.
Is
there
a
second
to
this
motion?
Second,
okay:
I
want
to
walk
through
some
questions
with
council
members
and
then
also
have
some
of
the
Departments
department
heads
come
up,
so
first
I
would
like
to
see
if
Chief
O'hara
would
come
to
speak
in
regards
to
the
impact
of
this
If
This
Were
to
pass.
W
W
We
know
that
just
today,
I
don't
believe
we
were
adequately
adequately
prepared
for
consent
decree
even
before
that
and
I'm,
not
a
person
that
wants
to
wait
until
we
actually
have
a
signed
agreement
or
agreements
to
then
actually
move
funds
and
start
figuring
out.
If
we're
going
to
hire,
people
I
would
prefer
to
have
all
this
stuff
done
now,
so
that
we
can
start
making
change
real,
which
is
more
important
than
wasting
money,
paying
a
monitor,
but
actually
make
change
real
for
our
people.
W
The
other
thing
I'm
concerned
about
is
just
the
the
level
of
victimization
in
the
city,
with
the
increasing
challenges
with
Staffing,
as
of
today,
there's
been
523
people
that
have
been
shot
in
the
city
and
it's
absolutely
outrageous
it's
down
from
last
year,
but
I
and
I
believe
a
lot
of
the
reason.
That's
driving.
W
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
as
much
as
I
want
to
support
our
chief
O'hara
and
give
him
all
the
tools
and
he
needs
to
succeed
and
as
much
as
I
support.
Public
Safety
I
I
want
to
kind
of
highlight
that
City
of
Minneapolis
we're
honored
to
have
so
many
hard-working
immigrant
documented
or
undocumented
their
safety.
It's
on
the
line,
depending
on
who's
who's.
Our
president,
during
the
Donald
Trump
time
money
undocumented
immigrants
had
a
very
hard
time
living
in
our
city.
T
T
At
least
it's
a
start
and
talking
about
it,
and
we
have
three
immigrant
council
members
in
on
the
council,
and
we
have
a
large
population
that
are
undocumented
and
we
have
to
be
there
for
them,
and
I
will
be
supporting
this
and
I
encourage
the
colleagues
to
support
and
really,
let's
you
know,
let's
increase
more
funding
for
the
population.
Immigrant
population.
We
have
here
especially
immigrants
off
office
of
office
of
immigration
run
by
director,
Michelle
Rivero,
we
get
I,
say
I
would
say.
T
Maybe
you
know
50
of
the
calls
we
get
is
related
to
the
immigration.
In
my
word,
you
know
a
local
council
member,
it's
very
you,
know
difficult
to
kind
of
have
a
say,
but
we
are
honored
to
work
with
senators,
kolbachars
and
congresswoman
in
Han
and
their
office
to
kind
of
deal
with
those
issues
and
and
also
our
office
of
immigration
have
been
awesome.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
in
you
know
paying
more
attention
to
some
segment
of
our
population
and
their
need,
and
thank
you,
council,
member.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
wanted
to
ask
if
director
topinko
would
be
willing
to
just
speak
a
little
bit
on
this
date
and
how
the
legislative
priorities
are.
You
know
I.
My
understanding
is
that
the
legislature
Slater
has
signaled
this
as
a
top
priority
of
theirs,
but
I
I'm
not
here
to
speak
for
that
you're
the
director.
So
if,
if
you'd
be
willing
to
just
to
comment
on
how
this
might
articulate
with
that
or
not.
Z
Yes,
we
do
know
that
the
the
advocacy
organizations
that
have
been
putting
for
pushing
for
driver's
license
for
all
are
gearing
up
to
make
a
big
push
this
year.
We
know
there
is
support
among
the
Minneapolis
delegation.
What
we
are
hearing
from
them
is
that
there
will
be
an
active
push
for
this
this
year.
Z
What
the
outcome
will
be
during
the
legislative
session,
but
we
do
anticipate.
There
will
be
activity
around
this.
There
are
many
other
priorities
and
it's
a
budget
year.
So
again
we
can't
can't
guarantee
what
the
outcome
will
be,
but
we
do
know
there
is
a
lot
of
support,
given
the
change
in
the
legislative
picture
to
push
for
this,
and
it
is
in
the
city's
legislative
agenda
to
support
this
as
well,
and
we
have
in
the
past
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
Z
D
D
Not
only
driver's
licenses
for
all,
but
the
data,
privacy
and
I
just
want
to
thank
councilman
truck
tire
for
her
Fast
Forward
Thinking,
on
making
sure
that
we
secure
funding
right
now
to
show
our
commitment
and
support
for
our
immigrant,
neighbors,
undocumented
and
all
immigrant
neighbors
that
we
can
do
something
here,
but
this
idea
isn't
just
for
immigrants.
It's
also
for
other
community
members
that
need
this
Municipal
ID.
D
R
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair,
I,
see
the
need
council
member
truck
died,
but
I
am
struggling
that
the
state
is
not
helping
with
this,
and
maybe
even
the
county
can
I
believe.
There's
another
way
to
get
this
done.
Besides
cannibalizing
the
police
budget.
At
a
time
when
we
have
a
new
Chief,
we
have
a
new
Commission
of
safety.
The
message
that
we're
sending
to
them
by
continuously
taking
away
their
money
in
my
in
my
award
is
not
acceptable.
So
I
will
not
be
supporting
this,
but
I
I
do
believe.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
rainville
I'd
like
to
ask
city
clerk
Casey
Carl.
If
you
could
just
maybe
I'm
new
so
trying
to
understand
you
know,
Mr
pinka
came
up
and
talked
to
us
about
what's
happening
in
the
state
legislature.
What
would
happen
here
because
my
understanding
would
be
your
office?
Would
it
be
the
actual
place
where
we'd
implement
this
I
know
that
dollars
is
going
to
NCR?
But
if
you
could
just
speak
to
that,
a
little
bit
sure.
P
If
and
when
it's
eventually
implemented,
I
think
the
the
other
piece
that
I
would
add
is
that
the
concern
over
data
practices,
which
certainly
is
on
our
Municipal
platform
for
the
state,
continue
to
be
a
driving
issue
for
staff.
Since
we
do
not
have
the
capacity
to
keep
private
or
withhold
data,
we
would
collect
on
individuals
under
the
current
law,
and
so
that
that
was
as
councilman
identified
the
primary
motivation
for
suspending
the
program
until
such
time
as
changes
that
the
State
Legislative
level
could
be
achieved.
S
So
sorry,
I
just
wanted.
To
sum
all
of
this
up,
real
quick
I
want
to
you
know,
want
to
come
back
to
this
building.
Public
Safety
piece,
I,
really
think
about
the
the
people
that
this
type
of
program
could
benefit.
We
don't
know
exactly
how,
because
we
have
not
done
the
work
to
figure
it
out
yet,
and
a
lot
has
shifted,
which
is
why
we
are
fun.
S
This
is
thinking
more
creatively
about
what
safety
can
look
like
and
coming
back
to.
This
is
not
Staffing
money.
This
is
not
overtime
money.
This
is
not
Pathways
money.
This
is
this:
is
money
for
contracts,
two
of
which
we
have
already
entered
into
and
are
going
to
go
through
next
year,
the
one
with
the
BCA
and
the
one
with
State
Patrol
right,
those
we
have
already
accounted
for.
On
top
of
that,
we
could
enter
into
a
new
contract
with
the
sheriff's
office.
S
So
this
is
not
taking
money
away
from
hiring
more
police
officers,
prioritizing
fulfilling
all
of
our
obligations
around
the
consent,
decree
and
planning
ahead
for
the
consent
decree.
This
is
money
that
would
not
otherwise
be
used
for
its
specified
purpose
and
a
small
amount
of
it
in
the
grand
scheme
of
things
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
One
time.
A
A
S
S
Our
director,
Michelle
Rivero,
does
an
excellent
job,
we're
very
thrilled
you're
here,
and
there
is
you
know,
as
as
council
member
Osman
was
just
describing
a
minute
ago.
Half
of
his
constituent
calls
are
related
to
the
immigration
system,
and
this
is
this
is
pretty
common
among
all
of
our
our
immigration,
our
immigrant
communities.
It
has
always
been
director,
rivero's
belief
and
she
shared.
S
She
has
shared
this
with
us
on
the
public
record
in
the
past
that
the
best
thing
we
can
do
as
a
city
in
this
in
this
in
this
ecosystem
of
work
is
help
people
get
access
to
permanent
documentation
and
permanent
status
in
in
our
city.
The
way
we
do
that
right,
we
don't
work
how's
that
work
in
within
the
city
right
director,
Rivero,
isn't
sitting
in
processing
people's
DACA
applications.
S
We
work
with
our
existing
Partners
and
in
in
who
do
this.
This
work
professionally
and
we
contract
out
money
to
them
and
we
create
programs
with
them
that
help
people
access
legal
support
around
navigating
the
immigration
system
and
that
helps
us
keep
Minneapolis
residents
here
safe
and
secure
this
money.
150
000
goes
towards
expanding
that
service
and
allowing
us
to
better
meet
the
needs
of
our
immigrant
communities,
particularly
with
specific
immigration
programs
and
documentation.
Programs
like
DACA,
being
under
significant
attack
in
this
moment.
So.
D
A
D
Thank
you,
budget,
chair,
Koski,
I'm,
still,
processing
that
last
vote,
so
I
hope
that
we
can
pass
an
immigration
Justice
Amendment
here
in
this
bonding
for
too
long,
our
federal
and
state
government
has
failed
in
supporting
our
immigrant
communities
here
in
Minnesota.
This
amendment
helps
support
our
community
members
with
immigration
related
services.
D
When
you
have
seen
a
deportation
of
your
own
community
members,
like
I've,
seen
the
deportation
of
my
own
family
members,
you
know
that
this
is
important.
I've
seen
ice
person
destroy
my
family,
my
friends
and
my
loved
ones,
and
yet
there
isn't
enough
money
in
this
fund.
125
000
is
a
piece
of
crumb.
It
is
nothing
and
adding
one
that
150
000
is
a
start,
and
it's
still
not
enough.
D
C
Chair
I
think
pitting
two
things
against
each
other
is
a
terrible
way
to
approach
this.
This
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
I
think
most
everyone
would
support
if
the
source
wasn't
out
of
the
police
department.
I
would
urge
the
authors
to
pull
this
and
come
up
with
a
different
source
so
that
everybody
could
support
it.
I
would
support
it
if
it
came
from
somewhere
else.
A
D
S
B
K
A
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
amendment
is
a
change
item
that
will
appropriate
dollars
from
mpd's
general
fund
for
Public
Safety
contracts
with
Community
groups.
This
will
assist
in
providing
Public
Safety
Services
in
areas
of
the
city
with
the
highest
crime.
A
particular
emphasis
will
be
placed
on
these
areas
in
the
city
with
the
most
violent
crimes.
Community
groups
will
help
bridge
The
Divide
between
the
community
and
MPD,
while
helping
to
identify
crime
prevention
strategies
and
opportunities.
A
G
N
So
I'm
not
proposing
a
pilot.
This
is
work
that
has
previously
been
done,
but
this
is
additional
funding
that
I
need
within
the
police
department
for
them
to
work
with
Community
groups
and
the
other
department
that
does
similar
work.
They
have
said
many
times
to
me
that
they
don't
work
directly
with
police,
and
so
this
is
a
little
different
than
that.
This
is
Community
groups
who
are
okay,
with
working
with
police.
G
G
N
G
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
am
I,
think
I'm
supportive
of
this,
but
I
did
want
to
clarify
that
in
ovp
I
know,
there's
a
new
acronym
I
can't
remember
for
the
life
of
me.
I'll
get
it
at
some
point
that
that
only
The
Interrupters
don't
work
with
the
police
and
that
that
there
are
other
programs
which
I
think
are
in
the
right
they
have.
So
they
have.
L
You
know,
probably
a
dozen
other
programs
actually
do
have
cross
collaboration,
have
a
lot
more
flexibility,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
Just
so
you
know
we
don't
accidentally
sort
of
misrepresent
the
the
role
that
ovp
has
played
and
that
they
have
other
departments
that
do
work
with
the
police,
Only
The
Interrupters.
Don't
is
my
understanding.
G
Onesie,
thank
you,
jarakovski.
Also,
another
clarification
point
about
the
office
of
violence
prevention
and
already
a
difference.
I'm
seeing
with
this
Amendment
or
the
pilot
that's
being
proposed
with
this
amendment,
is
that
this
amendment
is
for
groups
that
do
want
to
work
closely
with
MPD,
but
to
do
something
post-crime,
so
they're
kind
of
a
rapid
response
or
reactionary
team
after
a
crime
or
incident
has
been
committed.
G
So
that
is
something
imperative
with
this
fund
for
groups
who
might
be
looking
for
this
just
to
continue
to
clarify
the
role
of
ovp.
If
there
are
groups
that
want
to
continue
doing
diversion
work,
prevention-based
work
of
getting
residents
connected
to
Social
Services,
that
more
proactive
approach
than
the
office
of
violence
prevention
fund
is
the
appropriate
source
to
do
that.
Work.
So
I
also
want
to
provide
that
clarification
too,
since
we're
trying
to
do
something
different
here,
foreign.
A
J
K
B
A
Motion
carries
and
we
are
moving
to
our
next
Amendment.
This
is
oh
before
I
get
there.
I
just
want
to
pause
for
a
hot
second.
Here
it
is
noon.
We've
been
sitting
here
for
two
hours.
We
have
probably
at
least
a
about
an
hour
to
go
before
we
need
to
break
before
Public,
Works
and
infrastructure
committee
meeting
I
just
want
to
ask
my
colleagues:
do
you
guys
we
are?
We
are
Trucking
along
here,
I'm,
just
curious
to
know.
A
AA
A
All
right,
council
members
guess
we
are
going
to
begin.
We
are
on
to
number
18.
we're
in
the
home
stretch
here.
Everybody,
let's
see,
can
we
do
this
in
one
day?
Let's
think
about
that
council
members
there
may
be
a
prize
at
the
end
of
this
if
we
can
so
all
right.
Our
next
amendment
is
by
council
member
Osman
council
member
Osmond.
Please
introduce
your
Amendment.
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
quick
one.
This
amendment
directs
ninety
thousand
dollars
to
community
Public
Safety
initiative
on
Franklin
Avenue,
one
of
the
neighborhoods
I
represent,
hasn't
certified
with
the
city
and
has
given
up
the
funding
last
year
because
of
of
that
I'm
simply
taking
the
funds
they
haven't
spent
and
directing
them
to
the
community-based
public
safety
initiative
on
on
Franklin
Franklin
Avenue
hasn't
received.
T
T
A
U
U
Didn't
hear
that
in
Constable
member
Osmond's
comments
that
justification
I'll
note
that
I
have
corridors
in
my
ward,
for
instance,
where
we've
had
seriously
High
increases
in
crime
where
we
have
residents
and
businesses
asking
for
additional
safety
initiatives
and
so
I
think
as
a
body,
we
need
to
consider
whether
we're
going
to
open
up
the
door
to
that
I
do
understand.
This
is
from
this
specific
neighborhood
Association
funding
that
was
allocated,
but
I
also
think
we
have
to
be
careful
here
from
a
legal
element.
AB
Sure
cherkowski
councilmember
Johnson,
the
the
the
the
language
of
the
motion,
does
not
implicate
a
protected
class
and
so
you're.
It's
not
subject
to
an
equal
protection
analysis
of
the
highest
degree,
which
would
be
a
strict
scrutiny
type
of
analysis.
It
is
a
a
geographic
connotation
you're
right,
it
is
hyper
local,
and
so
my
advice
to
elected
officials
in
this
instance
is
to
articulate
the
basis
for
the
hyper
local
distinction.
The
grounding
for
that
distinction,
assuming
there
is
a
rational
basis
there.
That
would
be
okay.
T
Well,
Chicago
and
Franklin:
that's
the
data.
We
all
know
that
that
code
wrote
on
that
area
is
very
high
hot
spots
in
our
areas.
That's
what
the
local
police
talk
about
and
that's
what's
what's
on
the
news
mainly
and
that's
all
I
can
share
at
the
moment.
But
if
you
want
a
data,
we
can
ask
appropriate
staff
to
provide
those
data.
D
Thank
you.
I
share
a
border
with
consumer
Osman
I,
don't
necessarily
have
the
Franklin
Corridor,
but
I
do
get
a
lot
of
constituent
emails
about
the
the
lack
of
safety
efforts
in
that
Corridor
and
just
want
to
express
my
concern.
I
know
that,
like
we
share
that
border
and
these
resources
would
go
on
that
side
of
of
the
area,
but
I
do
know
like
the
emails
we
both
get
copied
on.
It
shows
that
there's
some
safety
concerns
in
this
area
that
need
dire
support
and
I.
Think
these
this.
D
A
B
A
Motion
carries
and
we
are
on
to
our
next
number
19..
This
is
from
council
member
Chavez.
It's
my
understanding
that
he
had
pulled
his
original
version
and
has
submitted
a
new
one.
So
you
should.
All
of
us
should
have
this
outside
of
the
original
packet
here.
Can
you
confirm
consumer
Chavez
that
you
wanna
hold.
D
So
after
extensive
conversations
with
the
mayor's
office,
we
came
to
a
decision
on
a
mutually
agreed
pathway
forward
that
I'm
asking
my
colleagues
for
support
on
I
want
to
bring
forward
well
now
that
it's
not
really
an
event.
It's
just
revised.
Thanks
to
customer.
It
will
instead
have
an
increase
to
the
C
pad
by
150
000
by
reducing
NPD,
100,
000
and
HR
by
50
000.
So,
what's
going
to
happen,
you'll
see
on
the
second
page,
there's
a
legislative
directed
attached
to
this.
D
My
initial
goal
was
taking
650
000
to
bring
this
program
the
community
safety
strategies
program
to
South
Minneapolis,
and
this
to
some
extent,
can
help
still
achieve
that.
It
just
will
have
a
legislative
directive
and
one
of
the
reasons
for
this
work.
We
know
that
in
South
Minneapolis
there
has
been
recent.
You
know
gun
violence,
opioid
epidemic,
a
lot
of
needles
on
the
ground
and
also
a
lack
of
work.
D
A
K
M
A
D
Basically,
this
is
the
legislative
directive
to
explore
the
expansion
of
the
community
strategies
program,
which
right
now
has
one
million
dollars.
We
just
increased
it
by
150
000.
The
program
has
served
the
Cedar
Riverside
Neighborhood
in
our
neighborhood
in
North
Minneapolis,
from
my
understanding
and
council
member
Jeremiah's,
Ward
Ellison's
Ward,
and
what
this
legislative
director
does.
It
just
puts
a
pathway
forward
to
expand
that
program
to
South
Minneapolis.
A
Thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
confirm.
Everybody
has
seen
this.
It's
19a
it's
with
the
revised.
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
a
second
to
this
motion?
Second,
all
right
that
has
been
moved
and
seconded.
Are
there
any
questions
from
my
council
members
I'm
not
seeing
any
so
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
rule.
B
A
D
Thank
you.
This
was
in
regards
to
the
Lake
Street
Safety
Center
I
actually
worked
on
this
with
the
chief
it.
Basically,
we've
also
been
working
with
the
Lake
Street
Greenway
partnership
and
members
on
re-establishing
a
former
site
known
as
the
Lake
Street
Safety
Center.
It's
where
non-police
public
safety
personnel,
with
support
from
Hennepin,
County
or
Memphis
city
attorneys
and
more
will
be
located
and
we're
expecting
to
start
it
in
2023.
A
R
D
Yeah,
so
this
is
I
know
that
MPD
was
asked
if
they
wanted
to
be
in
the
Safety,
Center
and
I
think
the
answer
was
a
no,
but
this
would
help
basically
establish
a
safety
location
for
non-police
personnel
like
our
city
attorneys
that
have
been
County,
so
it
doesn't.
This
is
not
for
the
third
precinct.
This
is
like
a
separate
thing,
but
in
theory
it
should
be
helping
with
a
safety
mechanisms
in
the
area,
because
there
would
be
non-police
Public,
Safety
resources.
There.
Q
Q
D
Safety
Center
as
well
I
know
that
Connie
will
have
like
a
kiosk
for
resources
there
and
another
goal
is
to
have
the
City
of
Minneapolis
Hennepin
County
and
Metro
Transit
contribute
75
000
total
in
a
year
this
year,
oh
the
following
year,
when
it
established.
So
the
reason
for
that
is
to
cover
the
cost
of
like
a
coordinator
and
the
rental
vocation,
and
the
reason
for
this
25
000
amendment
is
to
establish
one-third
of
that
cost
between
three
different
government:
Partners
City,
Minneapolis,
Hennepin,
County
and
Metro
Transit.
D
G
Thank
you,
chair,
Koski
I
just
wanted
to
also
share
some
updates.
I
heard
the
third
precinct
be
referenced
a
couple
times.
I
do
want
to
remind
Council
this.
You
know
past
our
procession.
We
did
pass
a
amendment
that
I
brought
forward
to
do
an
engagement
process
around
the
third
Precinct.
That
NCR
is
leading
right
now
and
that
will
greatly
shape
what
is
going
to
happen
with
that
site.
I
want
to
also
put
on
record
for
the
multiple
Community
sessions
that
I've
been
part.
G
G
You
know
the
third
precinct,
the
future
of
that
site.
Also,
what
happens
with
you
know
the
third
precinct
as
a
law
enforcement
facility
and
I
also
want
to
note
too,
because
this
has
even
come
up
in
events
that
I've
hosted
in
my
ward
around.
You
know,
concerns
of
distance
and
response
time
with
the
current
third
precinct
being
located
in
the
opsb
center.
A
J
B
A
D
Yes,
thank
you.
Mr
chairkovski
prevention
is
key
in
our
neighborhoods,
with
high
rates
of
carjackings
and
thefts.
This
amendment
will
help
improve
education
and
hopes
to
establish
a
program
to
prevent
idle
theft
and
catalytic
converter
catalytic
converter
theft.
It
will
appropriate
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
in
one-time
funding
from
Minneapolis
Police
Department
to
support
auto
theft.
Prevention,
St
Paul
has
an
auto
care
clinic
that
marks
catalytic
converters
and
installs
theft
prevention,
screws
and
license
plates.
I.
D
S
A
H
A
J
B
A
R
Going
to
well
you're
good
with
this
okay,
so
this
is
an
amendment
that
I've
worked
with
council
member
Osman
on
opioid
addiction
is
a
absolute
problem
in
not
only
in
his
area,
but
there
are
our
members
who
Worship
in
the
Third
Ward
who
it
affects
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
this
I'd
ask
my
colleagues
to
help
shine
a
deeper
light
on
this
issue
in
our
city
and
please
vote
for
this
today.
Thank
you.
T
T
Education,
awareness
and
City
of
Minneapolis
really
never
allocated
speaking
specifically
opioid
epidemic.
We
have
allocate
staff
full-time
staff,
but
not
actual
programming,
with
the
opioid
settlement,
we're
just
taking
some
money
of
that
and
focusing
on
very
un
on
there's
underserved,
low-income
hot
hit
areas
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
so
I
thank
my
colleague
rainville
for
bringing
this
up
and
my
colleagues
for
their
support.
Thank
you.
A
H
You,
madam
chair
yeah,
I,
just
wanted
to
uplift
this
and
say
you
know
earlier
this
year,
I
authored
a
legislative
directive
to
explore
medication
assisted
therapy,
but
it's
really
good
to
follow
up
those
types
of
actions
with
real
investments
into
this
work,
because
we
know
the
scale
of
this
crisis.
We
could
probably
increase
this
amount
by
an
order
of
magnitude
and
still
not
meet
the
need,
but
I'm
glad
that
we
are
allocating
budget
to
this
really
important
work.
A
R
N
Sorry
I
couldn't
get
into
quick
enough.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
council
members,
Osman
and
rainville
for
working
on
this
together.
You
know
at
our
last
public
hearing
on
the
budget.
We
have
folks
come
in
and
speak
to
this
very
issue
and
I'm
I'm
happy
that
you
all
reacted
in
this
way,
because
the
need
is
clearly
there
and
you've
listened
to
the
people.
So
thank
you
both
for
working
on
this
together
and
I'm
so
happy
to
support
this.
J
B
A
D
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
member
palmisano
who's
been
so
helpful,
in
particular
your
staff,
who
has
just
been
great
in
doing
a
bunch
of
research
on
this.
This
is
an
amendment
to
reduce
the
position
one
time
in
the
Communications
office
and
allocate
134
216
dollars
to
the
27
neighborhoods
that
have
fallen
below
the
twenty
thousand
dollar
Mark,
based
on
feedback
from
neighborhoods.
C
In
my
ward,
the
city
between
its
auditing
function,
its
board
development
function
and
it's
accounting
functions
kind
of
tells
them
they
have
to
spend
five
thousand
of
the
ten
thousand
they're
getting
a
very
specific
way,
which
leaves
no
money
to
do.
Basically
anything
else.
This
council
did
vote
not
unanimously
to
have
a
base
funding
amount
of
25
000
that
was
not
incorporated
into
neighborhoods
2020..
C
This
would
give
us
one
year
to
figure
out
how
we
can
make
sure
that
we
are
going
to
fund
the
thing
things
we're
asking
them
to
do,
and
I
will
just
share,
and
maybe
I
shouldn't,
but
I
had
a
great
conversation
with
council
member
Payne
about
some
ideas.
He
had
for
ways
that
we
could
work
with
neighborhoods
to
reimburse
them
for
the
work
that
we're
asking
them
to
do,
and
that
is
what
the
second
portion
of
the
legislative
Direction
comes
from.
C
To
take
a
look
at
how
we've
been
doing
things
and
new
ways
of
doing
things
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
when
we
have
these
neighborhoods
and
we're
asking
them
to
do
things
for
us
that
we
actually
give
them
the
resources
to
do
it,
I
don't
think
we
can
ask
them
to
review
variances,
communicate
about
sewer
projects,
submit
traffic
calming
requests,
work
on
diversity
on
their
boards
figure
out
how
to
include
renters,
have
ice
cream
socials
and
then
give
them
ten
thousand
dollars
to
do
all
that
work.
It
just
does
not
make
sense
to
me.
C
We
saw
during
the
pandemic.
Neighborhoods
were
the
Hub
of
comfort
and
care
for
many
neighborhood
residents,
and
so
we
pride
ourselves
on
having
a
strong,
Neighborhood
Network.
This
would
help
tide,
those
that
would
not
be
able
to
be
tied
it
over
over.
It
involves
27,
neighborhoods
I,
have
a
list
in
my
office
prepared
by
council
member
palmisano's
office,
so
I
hope
everyone
will
see
fit
to
promote
to
support
this
one-time
funding
and
then
I
know
councilmember,
palmisano
and
others
will
speak
to
the
staff.
C
Direction
I
Would
like
to
be
added
as
an
author
to
that.
If
that's
okay,
I
really
love
the
collaboration
of
this
work.
I
also
want
to
say
that
of
all
the
members
of
the
council,
councilmember
Johnson
has
been
the
most
consistent
along
with
me
supporter
of
neighborhoods,
and
he
has
carried
a
lot
of
water
for
a
long
period
of
time
and
he
has
some
great
neighborhoods
that
care
a
lot
about.
Neighborhood
organizations
and
I
just
give
props
to
him
for
urging
me
and
councilmember
palmisano
and
others
to
think
about
how
to
do
this
differently.
C
I
wasn't
sure
that
anyone
would
agree
with
the
two
of
us
and
now
I'm
finding
that
actually
there's
a
lot
of
agreement.
We
need
to
do
something.
This
is
the
something
we've
come
up
with
for
the
budget
process.
I'll
also
note
I
almost
never
have
budget
amendments.
So
it's
very
unusual
for
me
to
even
have
a
budget
amendment.
I
would
appreciate
your
support
and
again
want
to
thank
council
member
palmisano
for
doing
much
of
the
work
involved
in
this
as
well.
Thank
you.
D
R
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair,
just
a
short
note
of
thanks
to
council
member
Goodman,
councilman,
palmisano
and,
of
course,
councilmember
Johnson.
You
have
been
an
avid
supporter.
All
your
tenure
in
the
neighborhoods
and
my
neighborhood
groups
have
come
to
me
and
they're
troubled
and
they're
feeling
stressed,
and
this
is
a
kind
of
a
Band-Aid,
but
at
least
we're
putting
a
Band-Aid
on
the
moon
in
Olympian
into
next
year.
So,
thanks
to
the
three
experienced
leaders
on
the
council,.
C
Madam
chair
is
that
okay,
councilmember
Chung
Tai
neighborhood
organization's
main
purpose
is
to
communicate
with
residents,
so
it
makes
sense
that
they
are
going
to
take
on
as
they
have
a
lot
of
communication
type
work.
This
is
an
interagency
coordinator
position
that
currently
does
not
exist
in
Communications,
so
it's
not
cutting
Communications.
It's
saying
we
trust
neighborhoods
to
be
working
with
us
on
Communications.
It's
also
one-time
funding
So
within
the
biennial
budget.
They
would
be
funded
for
the
interagency
coordinator
position
in
2024.
S
That's
that's
really
really
helpful.
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
disagree
that
neighborhood
organizations
are
a
part
of
how
we,
the
they're
kind
of
the
the
they
can
at
times
be
a
conduit
of
communication
between
the
city
and
residents,
but
when
I
see
that
nearly
half
of
these
dollars
are
gonna
go
up
to
ward
3,
7,
11
and
13.
I
have
a
difficult
time
understanding
how
it's
helping
us
expand,
or
you
know,
expand
some
of
that
communication
with
the
right
group
of
people
communication
with
the
most
impacted
people,
problem
right
and
I.
Just
I.
S
Remember
the
the
conversation
in
committee
around
this
in
budget
committee
when
this
was
originally
presented
and
councilmember
Johnson
said
this
thing
about.
You
know:
increasing
money
for
neighborhood
organizations
isn't
a
bad
thing
right
when
we
do
it
in
it.
When
we
say
10,
000
isn't
enough,
maybe
we're
taking
you
know
all
of
this
money
and
splitting
it
up
equally
among
all
the
organizations
that
I
think
at
least
still.
A
AC
What
I
do
want
to
talk
about
is
our
cultural
radio
program.
This
program
has
expanded
greatly
since
2016
when
it
was
a
pilot.
It's
something
we're
very
proud
of
the
last
two
years.
We've
actually
gone
from
the
one
program
in
2016
to
doing
programs
in
four
different
languages,
and
this
year
we'll
be
expanding
to
five
different
languages,
including
our
first
aromo
program
this
month
in
December.
So
we
did
103
programs
in
2021
and
we'll
be
doing
109
programs
this
year
and
that
is
without
dedicated
staff
support.
AC
So
all
of
the
money
we
receive
goes
straight
into
community
and
into
our
community
media
vendors.
So
we
have
been
doing
this
in
partnership
with
neighborhood
and
community
relations
with
pieces
of
time
from
different
staff
members
who
are
also
focused
on
media
relations,
social
media
and
other
things,
and
so
our
interagency
coordinator
was
not
only
going
to
work
on
making
sure
we
were
Nims
compliant
looking
at
processes
and
procedures,
making
sure
that
we
had
better
analytics
and
metrics
tracking.
AC
So
we
truly
had
an
individual
dedicated
to
this
very
important
work
versus
having
pieces
of
somebody's
time
really
reaching
out
to
our
cultural
communities,
and
we
won't
be
able
to
do
this
without
this
position
starting
next
year
and
we
are
at
risk
at
not
only
sustaining
the
programs
that
we're
doing,
but
the
new
programs
that
we
were
taking
on
and
so
I
did
want
to
share
that
information
today
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
Q
You
know
we
really
did
a
reset
on
neighborhood
2020
plan
to
address
the
inequities
that
the
NRP
program
has
had
over
time
and
since
this
Inception
really-
and
you
know,
I
I
get
the
sense
that
every
year
we're
going
to
continuously
come
back
and
say
well
what
about
this
neighborhood?
They?
They
really
can't
do
the
work
with
just
this
amount
of
funding,
and
we
built
in
other
opportunities
for
neighborhoods
to
access
more
funding.
Q
A
Thank
you.
So
we
have
the
amendment
before
us.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
we
were
going
to
be
voting
on
this
amendment
number
24,
and
then
we
have
a
legislative
directive
next
so
that
everybody
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there's
Clarity
here.
So
we
have
the
amendment
before
us
and
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
council.
A
F
F
Business
neighborhood
groups
every
year
left
with
a
really
uncertain
future
and
they
feel
like
they're,
unable
to
make
plans,
so
they
hold
on
to
their
old
NRP
funds
in
reserve,
because
they're
not
sure,
year
to
year,
if
they're
going
to
be
able
to
continue
operating
and
what
level
you
know,
I
I
think
we
all
agree
that
neighborhood
groups
provide
a
vital
connection
between
the
city
and
our
residents.
We
rely
on
them
to
do
a
lot
of
Engagement
work
in
communication.
F
Like
council
member
Goodman
mentioned
you
know
we
we
rely
on
them
to
do
Communications
for
things.
We
don't
have
the
infrastructure
to
do
ourselves.
For
example,
Public
Works
relies
on
the
organizational
abilities
for
neighborhood
groups
to
assist
with
Outreach
and
Communications
on
Street
projects.
F
We
think
they
have
an
incredibly
High
return
on
investment.
You
know
just
the
last
couple
of
years:
they
leveraged
almost
225
000
volunteer
hours,
and
this
is
all
work
that
benefits
our
city.
So
this
legislative
directive
asks
the
mayor
to
look
at
the
neighborhood's
2020
program
to
evaluate
the
base
funding
options,
an
appropriate
amount
on
an
ongoing
basis
for
neighborhood
groups
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
other
funding
mechanisms
in
the
program,
and
it
asks
to
also
analyze
the
NRP
outstanding
issues
right.
F
How
do
we
best
support
neighborhood
organizations
to
spend
the
26
million
dollars
of
funds
remaining
in
the
program
in
a
timely
way?
What
is
the
appropriate
amount
of
NRP
funds
for
a
neighborhood
organization
to
hold
in
reserve,
and
how
can
we
evolve?
Those
original
state
you
know
agreed
upon
things
to
to
meet
modern
needs,
whether
that's,
whether
that's
rental
assistance,
whether
that's
green
energy
kinds
of
things,
are
there?
Is
there
an
ability
here
to
update
what
those
funds
can
be
used
on
in
the
future?
F
I
think
this
will
help
us
get
out
of
this
cycle
that
we're
in
and
identify
options
to
really
achieve
sustained
funding
for
neighborhood
groups
and
I.
Think
that
we
know
that
a
city-wide
network
of
neighborhood
groups
is
is
what's
essential
to
help
on
our
Outreach,
both
from
from
the
ground
up
into
the
City
and
the
city
back
to
Residence.
So
I
will
move
this
legislative
directive
as
part
of
this
and
appreciate
my
appreciation
to
council
members,
Johnson
Payne,
wansley
and
Goodman,
who
have
helped
us
to
get
to
this
point
and
make
this
better.
H
A
B
A
A
I
know
that
chair
Johnson
for
Public
Works
has
offered
to
potentially
move
this
that
back
a
little
bit
so
that
we
can
squeeze
this
in,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
still
mindful
of
time,
and
if
we
can
do
this
these
next
few
in
the
next
half
hour,
that
would
be
ideal.
So,
let's
see
not
to
stop
any
discussion,
I'm
just
moving
up
moving
along
here,
all
right,
so
customer
Chavez
I
know
that
you
might
have
a
revision
for.
D
For
this,
so
yes
go
ahead.
Budget,
chair,
Koski!
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
keeping
us
so
long
after
the
conversation
with
the
health
department
and
hearing
their
concerns,
are
we
making
an
amendment
on
a
different
funding
source,
so
it
will
now
be
to
the
office
of
neighborhood
safety
general
fund
for
this
instead
of
the
health
department.
So
you
will
not
see
a
paper
amendment
in
front
of
you
because
I
expected
to
take
this
vote
tomorrow,
instead
of
today,
so
I'll
just
be
making
a
verbal
Amendment.
D
If
the
clerk
can
help
me
out,
but
basically
changing
the
funding
source
from
the
health
department
to
the
office
of
neighborhood
safety.
Okay
I
got
it
so
this
will
find
one
to
two
summer
activities
in
underserved
communities.
You
remember
that
during
the
distribution
of
the
one
million
dollar
in
our
funds,
there
was
communities
that
were
not
included
in
the
final
funding
that
this
amendment
hopes
to
achieve,
and
those
are
the
latinx
and
East
African
communities.
D
A
Q
D
That
I
missed
okay.
Let
me
rephrase
that
into
a
better
process.
During
the
Opera
process,
the
mayor
and
city
council
approved
one
million
dollars
to
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
to
conduct
activities
where
they
were
able
to
issue
rfps
to
different
Community
groups.
If
you
remember,
in
the
conversation
with
the
youth
Coordinating
Board,
there
was
some
communities
that
either
one
didn't
apply
to
the
funding
stream
or
didn't
receive
funding
because
of
a
lack
of
applications
or
a
lack
of
funding.
D
To
be
honest,
there
just
isn't
enough
funding
going
to
these
programs,
so
my
Amendment
adds
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
that.
That
would
be
administered
by
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
and
they
would
be
able
to
administer
one
to
two
different
programs
and
my
goal
with
adding
underserved
communities
is
that
the
latinx
community
and
the
East
African
Community
were
not
reflective
in
that
budget
process
of
one
million
dollars.
O
O
A
K
B
A
R
Thank
you
and
I.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Osmond
and
his
staff,
as
well
as
my
staff
for
working
on
this
councilman
Osmond.
You've
been
very
helpful
and
teaching
me
about
the
needs
that
this
will
address
and
many
communities
do
not
have
access
to
women's
sexual
health
and
education
services.
I've
heard
from
my
East
African
residence
in
ward
3
on
this
issue
and
as
an
example
of
a
community
that
will
benefit
from
this
funding
that
is
currently
lacking.
R
T
A
Q
S
I'll
keep
this
brief.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Only
stating
this
now
because
I
have
now
heard
about
it
from
six
different
people.
Who've
reached
out
I
have
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
both
the
authors
of
this
and
understand,
really
clearly
that
this
money
is
not
going
to
go
to.
The
intention
of
this
money
is
to
not
end
up
in
the
hands
of
someone
who's
going
to
go
into
into
mosques
or
cultural
centers,
and
tell
our
our
youth
that
abortion
is
bad
like
just.
It
is
about,
like
Full,
Spectrum,
Health,
education.
M
B
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Yes,
this
is
taking
186
thousand
dollars
out
of
regulatory
Services,
27
million
dollar
budget
and
investing
in
our
co-enforcement
model
of
enforcement
in
civil
rights,
and
so
this
one
was
a
really
hard
one
to
Source.
You
know
this
is
a
very
tight
budget.
No
department
wants
to
be
caught,
especially
in
these
times
we've
been
through
so
much
but
I
do
want
to
acknowledge.
H
We've
made
some
significant
investments
in
the
programs
and
reg
Services
we're
making
very
significant
investments
in
the
safety
of
the
workers
and
reg
Services,
including
body
worn
cameras
and
we're
even
doing
at
the
at
the
legislative
level
advocating
for
changes
to
the
state
statute.
Additionally,
for
worker
protections
for
rec
services
and
I
recognize
how
important
that
is
and
how
much
we
are
asking
of
the
reg
services
department.
H
So
this
I
weighed
this
decision
very
heavily
and
I
landed
on
this
as
the
source,
because
I
wish
every
employee
in
Minneapolis
had
the
level
of
care
and
consideration
that
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
for
its
workers.
Frontline
workers
have
been
through
so
much
over
these
last
couple
years
and
these
dollars
are
going
to
go
towards
still
our
enforcement
goals
around
our
ordinances,
our
enforcement
of
worker
protections,
our
enforcement
to
make
sure
that
people
have
safe
and
sick
time,
make
sure
that
they're
getting
fully
paged
and
they're
not
experiencing
wage
theft.
H
This
is
only
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
of
the
types
of
worker
violations
that
are
out
there,
and
this
is
not
only
going
to
help
enforce
some
of
that,
but
it's
also
an
awareness
piece
too.
This
is
done
in
partnership
with,
say
tool.
They've
got
really
deep
relationships
with
a
lot
of
the
most
vulnerable
workers
in
our
city,
and
this
makes
sure
workers
know
their
rights
know
what's
allowed
and
not
allowed.
H
Many
of
these
workers
are
our
most
marginalized,
low-income
immigrant
workers
by
POC
folk,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
to
a
point
where
we
can
even
expand
on
this,
but
we've
been
doing
one-time
funding
year
over
year,
since
our
some
of
these
worker
protections
have
passed.
This
is
to
get
not
only
increase
the
mayor's
one-time
budget,
but
it's
to
get
to
a
baseline
of
continuous
and
reliable
funding
for
this
type
of
enforcement.
So
I
really
do
ask
for
your
support
and
I'm
grateful
to
council
member
Osmond
for
partnering
with
me
on
this.
H
Exact
changes
we
may
need
to
confirm
this
with
director
cruver,
but
the
mayor
had
requested
one-time
funding
of
186,
000
or
so
I'm,
asking
to
increase
that
186
000
by
an
additional,
basically
186
000
this
year
and
then
ongoing
so
I
think
the
table
in
the
change
packet
might
be
incorrect.
Technically,
okay,.
A
P
See
the
clerk
is
president
I
can
I
can
express
that
councilmember
Payne's
staff
did
come
to
us
just
before
the
meeting
to
say
that
the
language
on
the
front
page,
which
is
the
amendment
we're
moving,
is
correct.
It's
simply
correcting
the
materials
in
the
background,
so
that
it
reflects
ongoing
funding.
Great.
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'm,
wondering
if
you're
not
going
to
ask
staff
to
stand
up
and
say
what
rental
licensing
won't
be
handled
or
what
I
mean.
This
is
an
area
where
the
most
challenged
people
in
the
city
need
Services
the
most
and
so
I'm,
not
sure
what
our
staff
is
thinking
about
this,
but
we
have
really
beefed
up
our
rental
inspections
and
licensing
inspections
and
renters
rights
and
Animal
Control
we're
already
not
operating
Animal
Control
all
day
long
I
just
cannot
imagine
where
this
is
going
to
come
from.
AA
Although
we
have
27
million
dollars
and
although
186
seems
small,
the
direct
impacts
are
to
our
residents.
As
council
member
council
member
Goodman
has
stated,
the
direct
impacts
will
be
a
reduction
to
new
nuisance
enforcement,
city-wide
in
enforcement
and
related
to
our
livable
neighborhoods.
This
will
also
touch
our
growing
backlog
and
longer
rental
licensing
inspection
schedules
which
impacts
our
renters
first
policies
in
terms
of
maintaining
healthy
and
safe
homes
for
51
percent
of
our
population,
which
are
renters.
AA
In
addition,
this
will
reduce
our
recently
hired
racially
and
very
diverse
staff
that
reflects
our
community.
So
let
me
put
this
in
perspective,
so
we
really
understand
what
we're
talking
about
here.
48
of
our
nuisance,
abatements
authorizations
are
in
Sri
zip
codes,
which
is
in
Ward
four
and
five
3-1-1.
Complaints
that
we
respond
to
an
inspection
service
is
Mac
and
traffic
control,
and
all
of
our
rental
licenses
are
again
in
33
percent
of
the
311
calls
are
in
our
s.
Reap
zip
codes.
67
of
our
nuisance
calls
earn
words
four
and
five
again.
AA
A
All
right,
we
do
have
a
cue
I
am
not
sure
director
if
they
will
be
directed
to
you
yet.
So
maybe
if
you
don't
mind
just
sitting
close
by
I'm,
sorry
I
accidentally
kind
of
messed,
this
queue
up
there.
So
I'm
going
to
start
back
to
council
president
Jenkins,
then
we'll
go
to
chug
Thai
Osman,
Chavez,
Payne,
Ellison,
so
council,
president
Jenkins.
Q
They
also
asked
me
to
please
do
something
about
their
livability
in
their
Apartments.
They
are
living
with
roach,
infestations,
mice,
infestations
running
water,
in
their
ceilings,
all
kind
of
horrific
conditions
that
will
require
regulatory
services
to
to
be
involved
in
helping
us
to
address,
and
so
I
I.
Just
can't
in
good
faith
and
I
was
at
say
too
again,
and
that
was
not
the
issue
that
they
brought
up
to
me
was
way
stuff.
They,
they
were
deeply
concerned
about
the
conditions
of
their
living
arrangements
and
wow
I
know
way.
Q
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thanks
for
consult
member
Payne
for
really
taking
the
time
to
think
about
this.
Doctor
came
in
and
said,
27
million
dollars
budget.
What
we're
asking
is
us
people
that
are
serving
hotels
in
downtown
Minneapolis
people
are
serving
the
food
and
the
restaurants.
You
go
to
people
that
have
a
lot
of
barriers
that
cannot
Advocate
themselves,
people
that
call
my
office
last
week
that
complaining
the
treatment
they
get.
What
am
I
supposed
to
call
you're
supposed
to
call
the
same
co-enforcements?
T
Can
this
organization
is
that
make
their
life
to
help
people
with
barriers?
That's
who
we're
supposed
to
contract?
That's
who
we're
supposed
to
send
them
to
if
I
can't
refer
them
should
I,
you
know
who?
Who
else
can
I
refer
them?
We
have
to
create
window
for
for
immigrant
communities
and
people
with
the
barriers.
T
I
understand
agriculture.
Services.
Do
a
wonderful
job
and
I
continue
supporting
regulatory
Services,
but
everywhere
we
touch
the
sources.
We
can't
touch
it,
and
this
is
an
issue-
that's
very
important
to
minority
communities,
immigrant
communities
that
you
are
way
privileged
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
than
the
people
were
talking
about.
D
I,
don't
think
about
the
chair.
Kosky
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
had
folks
from
the
tool
in
this
room
a
little
bit
ago,
so
they're
sitting
right
in
front
of
us,
and
they
were
here
asking
for
our
body
to
support
them
in
workers,
protections
workers,
rights
making
sure
we
have
this
comfort
zone
budget,
so
I
do
want
to
say
that
folks
is
a
tool
to
come
to
Providence
Point
we're
here
asking
our
support
in
this
amendment.
D
So
this
is
something
that
the
tool
has
asked
and
this
money
isn't
directly
to
a
tool,
but
it's
for
workers
rights.
So
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
do
and
ultimately,
I
do
agree
with
my
colleague
consumer
announcement
that
27
million
dollars
is
in
the
department
and
186
thousand
dollars
is
a
small
amount.
I
do
have
a
question
for
the
director.
Can
you
walk
us
through
how
you
decided
to
make
these
specific
budget
cuts
over
different
programs
in
your
department?
D
AA
E
AA
And
when
we
look
at
Cuts,
if
I
don't
do
cuts
in
nuisance,
abasement
abatement
I'm
going
into
my
employees
into
my
ftes.
So
when
I
look
at
that,
that
is
how
I
look
at
these.
These
things,
I
reduce
some
of
the
services
to
maintain
some
of
our
ftes
to
actually
do
the
work
that
we
are
currently
committed
to
doing.
I
think
there
are
alternative
ways
to
I
agree
that
we
have
to
address
this
issue.
I,
don't
believe
that
it
should
be
coming
out
of
my
budget
in
this
way.
AA
AA
You
it
should
be
coming
out
of
a
budget,
but
I
think
there
are
alternative
ways
to
do
this,
and
those
are
conversations
that
you
can
have
with
the
budget
office
again.
If
we
allocate
funds,
it's
going
to
be
felt
somewhere
and,
unfortunately,
the
same
population
that
we're
trying
to
protect,
we're
actually
impacting
them
in
their
homes.
So
again,
tough
decisions
to
make
I
defer
to
the
body
to
make
that
decision.
But
again
these
impacts
are
felt
on
both
sides
of
the
the
decision.
Thank.
D
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
some
of
my
thought
process
here
when
I
was
originally
sourcing.
I
was
looking
at
the
expansion
of
our
traffic
enforcement
and
that
would
have
been
a
total
of
two
ftes
and
it
would
have
left
all
of
our
render
Protections
in
place,
but
because
I
saw
the
importance
of
the
work
of
reg,
Services
I
didn't
want
to
prescribe
where
to
cut
within
the
department.
L
Thank
you
I.
This
is
definitely
a
really
I.
Think
painful
motion.
In
my
earlier
discussions,
I
the
The
Source
being
Rec
Services
was
a
a
flag
for
me.
Unfortunately,
I
did
not
pursue
it
strongly
enough
to
to
support
my
colleagues
in
finding
a
different
source
and
I
regret
that
at
this
moment
and
I
think
that
when
I'm
listening
to
the
director
talk,
she
put
it
pretty
plainly.
L
The
people
who
are
most
vulnerable
to
have
their
wages
stolen
are
the
people
who
live
in
some
of
the
worst
conditions
in
our
city
in
our
housing,
stock
and
I.
Think
that's
that's!
What's
that's?
What's
making
this
particular
Amendment
really
difficult,
there's
also
a
bit
of
History
here
in
terms
of
funding
out
of
reg
services.
That
I
think
is
I
came
in
on
the
on
the
tail
end
of
but
I,
and
so
maybe
some
of
my
colleagues
who've
been
here
a
bit
longer,
can
even
can
illustrate
further.
L
That
meant
that
we
couldn't
actually
approach
the
work
with
with
the
kind
of
diligence
and
fairness
that
that
we
needed
Rec
Services
had
to
go
out
and
find
people
to
find,
right
and
and
and
and
I
actually
have
one
of
my
best
friends,
his
mom
used
to
work
in
Rec
Services
way
back
in
the
day,
and
she
said
yeah.
That's
that's
exactly
what
we
would.
L
We
would
have
to
go
out
and
do
in
order
to
preserve
our
own
employment
or
to
preserve
the
employment
of
of
our
colleagues,
and
we
have
been
working
really
really
hard
to
to
remedy
that
kind
of
approach
in
order
to
keeping
people
employed,
meaning
we
can't
we
cannot
hire
people
and
keep
people
because
we're
finding
you
know
other
people
out
in
the
community.
You
know
overgrowth
and
love
in
the
in
the
in
the
alleys
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
so
I
am
100
dedicated
to
addressing
wage
theft.
A
H
H
V
And
members
in
in
an
effort
to
help
with
the
expediency-
and
we
are
all
experiencing
today,
the
one
piece
of
data
that
I
would
just
put
on
the
table
is
that
in
earlier
this
year
we
did
arpa
Appropriations
and
we
did
appropriate
750
000
to
co-enforcement,
in
addition
to
the
300
70
000,
that
is
in
the
22
budget
and
the
ongoing
186
thousand
dollars
in
next
year's
budget.
That
doesn't
solve
the
ongoing
question
that
we
are
considering,
but
it
may
defer
the
necessarity
for
this
to
next
year.
V
H
D
A
Wondering
if
I
need
to
have
a
motion
made
for
that
or
if
I
can?
Okay,
the
author
can
re
to
move
this
to
Tuesday,
so
we
are
going
to
what
retract
it
and
we
can
move.
Sorry
all
right.
Let
me
start
over
I
believe
the
author
would
like
to
retract
this
and
move
this
to
Tuesday,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
that
all
right.
Thank
you.
Next
we
have
the
amendment
which
is
from
council
member
wansley.
It's
number
29.,
councilmember
onesie.
Could
you
please
introduce
your
Amendment
thank.
G
You
budget
tarakovski.
This
amendment
basically
moves
185
000
from
MPD
to
the
city
attorney's
office,
for
a
community
attorney
at
the
third
precinct.
Currently
there
is
only
one
Community
attorney
split
between
the
first
and
third
precinct
and,
after
speaking
with
both
staff
within
MPD
and
the
city
attorney's
office,
it's
clear
that
the
demand
at
the
third
precinct
is
incredibly
high
and
more
support
is
needed
there.
G
H
A
K
K
M
B
A
G
These
are
the
names
of
the
five
public
housing
residents
who
died
from
smoke
inhalation
in
2019
when
the
cedar
high
tower
caught
on
fire.
Without
a
fire
suppression
system,
these
residents
were
completely
vulnerable
and
their
deaths
were
preventable
publicly
owned
and
operated.
Housing
should
have
basic
safety
systems
and
I
hope
that
is
not
controversial.
Since
2019,
there
has
been
a
strong
multi-jurisdictional
work
done
by
multiple
elected
leaders
to
get
needed,
funding
to
install
fire
suppression
systems
in
all
42
Towers
owned
by
the
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
G
But
right
now
there
are
four
towers
with
a
total
of
120
units
that
are
still
unprotected.
So
that's
why
now,
council,
member
I
and
well
councilmember,
Ellison
and
I
are
moving
to
have
1.2
million
dollars
be
used
to
close
the
gap
in
making
sure
that
all
of
our
residents
in
those
four
remaining
towers
are
protected.
The
funding
for
this
is
being
redirected
from
a
program
within
the
affordable,
housing,
trust
and
I.
G
Do
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
affordable
housing
choice
is
a
value,
valuable
part
of
supporting
the
Continuum
of
affordable
housing,
because
it
provides
grants
to
develop
a
range
of
housing.
Some
of
the
housing
is
considered
affordable
at
30
Ami.
Some
of
it
is
mixed
use
which
can
include
market
rate
housing.
These
funds
can
also
go
towards
public,
non-profit
or
private
developers,
and
all
of
this
housing
is
vitally
important,
but
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
public
housing
is
the
single
gold
standard
when
it
comes
to
Affordable,
affordability,
for
a
family
of
four,
for
example.
G
30
of
Ami
is
about
35
000
200,
and
when
we
look
at
the
residents
who
live
in
The,
Four
mpha
Towers
Without
fire
suppression
systems,
only
22
percent
have
earned
income
at
all.
The
average
annual
income
for
these
residents
is
just
under
sixteen
thousand
dollars,
meaning
public
housing
is
the
only
place
that
residents
can
be
guaranteed
to
pay
30
percent
of
their
income
and
rent
regardless
of
the
Aryan
median
income.
G
So
as
we
work
on
developing
a
well-funded
system
to
support
all
levels
of
affordable
housing
and
I
want
to
thank
you
know:
executive
director,
Abdi,
wasami,
also
representative
Noor,
and
also
the
taxation
chair
representative
fuli,
for
sharing
their
desire
to
work
in
Tangent
with
all
of
us
in
in
making
that
long-term
funding
happen.
But
I
do
want
to
note
you
know
we
have
to
make
sure
that
public
housing
residents
don't
get
left
behind
in
that
process.
This
is
a
racial
justice
issue.
G
Over
60
percent
of
residents
in
these
four
towers
are
black
or
African-American.
Over
60
percent
are
elderly
and
over
60
percent
are
disabled
and
I'm,
not
okay,
with
leaving
those
residents
vulnerable
to
potential
fatal
fires.
So
all
that
said,
the
city
council
has
the
opportunity
today
to
put
the
final
piece
in
the
puzzle
and
ensure
that
no
public
housing
resident
has
to
go
through
the
loss
of
life,
nor
the
the
trauma
that
a
fire
can
trigger.
L
L
It
goes
to
build
our
affordable
city,
but
councilmember
wansley
is
right
that
and
I'm
glad
that
she
was
able
to
name
the
people
who
who
who
perished
in
the
fire
not
too
long
ago
and
and
we've
got
to
have
protection
for
residents.
We
we
have
to
be
a
part
of
solving
some
of
mpha's
infrastructure
problems
and
I
know
that
we
have
been.
L
That
way,
if,
if
they're
not
or
if
other
funding
sources
emerge
from
the
state
or
elsewhere,
we
can
still
leverage
cbdg
dollars
and
get
those
out
the
door
for
other
projects,
and
so
that
is
I
think
a
win-win.
We
leave
no
doubt
about
whether
or
not
the
fire
suppression
systems
will
can
be
funded
and
will
be
funded,
but
still
leave
ourselves
enough
room
to
reallocate
this
money
elsewhere.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
This
this
I
had
early
conversations
with
councilmember
wansley
on
this
and
I
had
originally
had
a
lot
of
concerns
about
even
touching
the
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
and
I
kind
of
fell
into
I
would
say
one
of
my
crutches,
which
is
to
start
thinking
like
an
engineer
and
I
started
to
try
to
think
about
how
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
has
this
kind
of
multiplier
effect.
It's
not
about
the
total,
the
the
dollars
that
are
invested
into
housing.
H
It's
about
the
dollars
that
unlocks
the
number
of
Investments
that
private
developers
can
make,
and
it
it
should.
You
know
that
nine
million
dollars
of
the
the
total
fund
is
should
translate,
and
you
know
director
Brennan
would
be
able
to
give
me
a
very
specific
ratio
and
I
started
going
to
the
engineer
brain
of.
What's
the
ratio
of
Leverage
that
you
know,
every
dollar
got
that
goes
into
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
is
some
multiplication
number
greater
than
that
dollar
and
I
started
getting
into
this
kind
of
like
overly
calculating
brain
of
you
know.
H
Every
dollar
that
we
touch
in
that
fund
is
going
to
translate
into
a
reduction
in
total
number
of
units
that
are
ultimately
built,
but
what
you
ultimately
end
up
with
that
line
of
thought
is
putting
some
sort
of
moral
value
on
the
human
life
of
the
people
who
live
in
in
the
building.
And
this
original.
H
This
amendment
originally
started,
as
you
know,
kind
of
like
a
broad
number
of
Investments
to
chip
away
at
the
overall
backlog
of
of
improvements
that
are
necessary
for
our
housing
stock
and
our
public
housing
and
what
council
member
wansley
did
through.
Some
of
those
conversations
is
really
narrowed.
This
down
to
fire
suppression
systems,
rather
than
generally
chipping
away
at
at
that
backlog,
which
we
still
need
to
do
and
I
think
we
still
need
to
have
a
deeper
conversation
about
a
public
housing,
Levy
and
I.
H
H
There
are
lives
that
are
impacted
through
this
and
the
lives
that
have
been
impacted
by
you
know
a
systemic
disinvestment
in
in
this
housing
and
the
most
affordable
housing
that
we
have
is
the
housing
that
we
have
already
built,
and
so
it's
just
you,
you
can't
compare
the
total
units
that
may
theoretically
have
been
constructed
with
these
dollars
in
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
with
the
terror
of
the
thought
of
an
another
life
life
loss
that
could
have
been
prevented
through
a
difficult
but
I
think
necessary.
Choice
I'll
be
supporting
this
amendment.
A
C
You,
madam
chair,
the
original
proposal,
I,
would
never
have
been
able
to
support
and
this
proposal
is
marginally
better
and
I
guess.
I
will
kind
of
share
with
you.
Why
I
think
that,
for
what
it's
worth,
Leverage
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
do
as
a
city
when
providing
funding
for
affordable
housing,
we
are
not
a
primary,
affordable,
housing
funder.
We
partner
with
debt
sources
and
other
Equity
sources.
We
put
our
money
in
to
leverage
other
money.
This
contribution
does
not
leverage
another
Penny.
C
Hopefully,
since
we're
getting
emails
from
legislators,
they
will
see
this
as
an
effort
to
get
them
to
contribute
to
put
in
more
money.
I
will
note
so
far
the
city
has
put
in
more
money
than
the
state
or
the
federal
government
into
the
fire
suppression
systems
so
to
be
lobbied
by
the
state
who
has
put
in
less
than
the
city
and
they're
like
50
times
the
size
probably
says
something
about
the
backlog
of
the
political
problem
at
the
Capitol
that
could
be
broken
through
during
this
session.
C
I
will
note
that
there
is
unspent
money
in
public
housing
accounts
right
now
for
fire
suppression
systems,
and
so
they
have
not
been
able
to
spend
all
the
money
that
they've
been
given.
So
I
don't
know
that
they
will
be
able
to
spend
this
money,
and
this
money
will
not
be
anywhere
near
enough
to
actually
even
do
one
building.
There
would
have
to
be
more
leverage
in
order
to
do
that.
C
We
have
also
contributed
3.7
million
dollars
in
this
budget
to
public
housing.
Any
of
that
money
could
have
been
earmarked
for
fire
suppression
systems,
but
was
not
probably.
This
is
the
biggest
concern.
So
perhaps
that
was
the
choice
that
was
made,
but
nonetheless,
we
put
3.7
million
in
and
councilmember
worsame
is
welcome
to
use
that
3.7
plus
this
money
to
get
an
entire
building
done
if
he
so
chose
to
do
that,
but
it
doesn't
sound
like
he
is
willing
to
do
that.
C
We
have
been
strategic
in
the
past
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
continue
to
be
strategic.
Otherwise,
we
will
be
holding
the
bag
of
the
federal
government's
lack
of
investment
in
public
housing,
and
that
is
the
biggest
problem
of
all.
In
my
opinion,
ultimately,
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
is
the
largest
source
in
the
state
from
a
municipality
going
into
the
construction
and
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
and
although
the
cdbg
money
cannot
be
used
to
build
new
units,
it
is
very
strategically
used
to
preserve
existing
units.
C
I'll
just
point
out
the
Park
Plaza
project
that
we
just
funded
in
our
affordable
housing
trust
fund
Awards
this
week
is
a
building
that
is
100
30
area
median
income
and
is
in
dire
need
of
preservation,
and
the
trust
fund
is
funding
that
and
usually
the
trust
fund
funds,
maybe
like
a
20
of
all
the
projects,
are
preservation
projects.
So
one
preservation
project
probably
won't
happen
as
a
result
of
this.
Lastly,
I
will
say
no
affordable,
housing
trust
fund
money
goes
to
market
rate
units.
C
That
is
just
simply
false
and
I
want
to
make
sure
it
is
clear
that
these
projects
are
at
60,
50
and
30
percent
of
area
median
income.
We
just
funded
almost
1400
new
units,
one-third
of
them
at
30
percent
of
very
immediate
income
and
the
biggest
problem.
There
is
not
the
lack
of
capital,
but
the
lack
of
service
and
support
funding.
We
just
saw
what
happened
over
at
better
Futures,
where
a
whole
bunch
of
people
showed
up
at
our
meeting,
because
they
were
evicted
and
there's
problems
with
service
provision
in
these
buildings.
C
C
But
I
want
to
note
that
losing
anything
out
of
the
trust
fund
will
impact
the
number
of
units
that
we
will
be
able
to
preserve
or
build
in
the
next
year,
and
we
are
highly
successful
at
adding
units
at
this
area
of
income.
We
have
you
know
many
staff
who
spend
all
year
long
working
on
this.
If
you
were
on
Biz,
you
would
have
met
them
on
just
this
week
alone.
It's
a
big
celebration
of
the
work,
that's
been
done
and
I
do
think
that
taking
money
from
this
fund
is
generally
a
mistake.
T
T
We
don't
want
another
disaster
taking
place.
I
have
talked
to
director
or
Summit
many
times
about
an
advocated
on
on
cons,
congresswoman
and
State
Legislative,
and
so
on.
To
make
sure
that
we're
getting
this
fire
safety
taken
care
of
president
are
concerned
and
as
much
as
I,
don't
like
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
sources.
T
Q
D
Thank
you,
budget
Jackowski
I
was
originally
you
know
on
this
amendment,
based
on
my
protection
of
the
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
and
meetings
that
I
had,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
onesie
customer
Allison
for
making
these
changes
being
accommodated
and
hearing
the
concerns
of
many
of
us
up
here
and
want
to
say
that
I
am
more
than
happy
to
support
it.
Now.
AD
Chairkovski,
council
members,
I'm
sorry,
this
is
a
little
emotional.
Thank
you,
councilmember
wansley
for
naming
the
names
of
the
lives
that
we
lost
this.
These
are
really
hard
decisions
that
you
all
have
to
make
it's
my
job
to
share
what
I
see
as
the
potential
impacts
of
the
decision.
That's
before
you
first
I
want
to
say
that
when
mpha
came
and
and
made
their
budget
request
to
the
the
mayor's
team
I'm
there,
a
staff,
the
budget
team
was
there.
AD
We
very
specifically
asked
about
fire
suppression
systems
and
said
that
that
would
be
our
priority
in
the
mayor's
office
said.
That
would
be
their
priority
in
in
funding
this
and
mpha
very
clearly
said
that
is
not
our
priority.
Our
priority
is
the
scattered
site
rehab,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
really
clear
here
that
that
wasn't
a
request
that
was
made.
That
was
not
either
recommended
by
staff
or
not
put
forward
by
by
the
mayor
in
in
the
proposed
budget.
AD
Second,
as
it
relates
to
to
impacts
the
the
18
million
that
is
currently
proposed
in
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
was
not
an
arbitrary
number.
It
was
a
number
that
staff
calculated
and
recommended,
based
on
what
we
estimate
is
needed
to
meet
the
Metropolitan
Council
goals
that
we
have
for
new
production
and
when
we
factor
in
that
estimate,
we
factor
in
that
there
are
always
on
the
need
to
preserve
existing
units.
AD
For
example,
councilmember
Goodman
referenced
that
there
is
37
million
in
requests
for
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
and
we
can
only
fund
a
portion
of
that.
One
of
those
requests
that
we
can
only
partially
fund
was
little
Earth,
for
example,
and
those
are
deeply
affordable
units
that
have
very
very
significant
life
and
safety
issues
as
well.
I
mean
these
are
not
easy
decisions
to
make,
and
there
are
not
enough
funds
to
go
around
the
impacts
here
is
that
there
will
be
about
30
units
fewer
units
funded
through
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
AD
AD
The
other
thing
I
I,
think
I
would
be
remiss
in
in
saying,
unless,
if
I
don't
share
with
you
that
there
there
are
other
ways
to
get
both
and
I
I
mean
personally
I
I
100
agree.
It
is
unacceptable
for
mpha
high-rise
buildings
to
not
have
fire
suppression
systems.
I.
Think
you
all
from
all
of
the
the
every
time
we've
brought
forward
funds.
We've
done
it
twice
now
asking
for
your
support
and
you've
unanimously
approved
it.
So
I
know
you
shared
this
goal
as
well.
AD
This
would
be
an
incredibly
competitive
application
to
the
state's
publicly
owned
housing
program.
They
have
an
unprecedented
Surplus
right
now,
and
that
is
something
that
they
could
apply
for
for
the
remaining
four
buildings
that
don't
yet
have
a
source,
that's
secured
or
committed
yet,
and
if
that
doesn't
come
through
at
the
state
like,
we
did
the
first
time
that
my
staff
brought
forward
a
request
to
you
to
fund
fire
suppression
systems.
We
did
that
outside
of
the
regular
budget
process.
We
found
cdbg
money,
it's
a
great
source.
Thank
you!
AD
We
brought
forward
a
request
to
you
outside
of
the
budget
process,
to
reallocate
funds
from
something
that
wasn't
going
to
go
forward
to
this,
and
we
very
strategically
did
that
in
partnership
with
mpha,
and
we
said,
let's
do
this
together
and
then
let's
go
to
the
state
and
ask
for
money,
and
that
is
how
we
got
the
two
million
dollars
from
the
state
through
the
publicly
owned
housing
program
is
that
we
work
together
to
leverage
our
resources
to
get
State
dollars
two
for
one.
So
that
is
also
an
option
that
you
have
before
you.
AD
If,
if
this,
you
know
it
doesn't
have
to
be
now,
they
have
seven
projects
that
they
are
starting
construction
on
to
put
fire
suppression
systems
in
that
will
keep
them
busy
for
a
little
while.
So
if,
if,
if
you
wanted
to
wait
to
see
if
State
funding
were
an
option
and
it
didn't
come
through,
we
could
also
identify
program,
income
that
comes
in
from
cdbg
or
reallocate
other
cdbg
uses
or
apply
to
the
a
trust
fund,
because
mpha
can
also
apply
to
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
AD
In
fact,
the
scattered
site
deeply
affordable,
Expansion
Project
that
just
closed
last
week,
the
council,
you
all
appropriated
4.6
million
of
arpa
funds
for
that
project.
They
had
a
gap,
so
we
came
in
and
recommended
1.2
million
from
affordable
housing
trust
fund
contingency
to
close
that
Gap,
so
that
they
could
close
last
week
and
get
these
84
deeply
affordable
units
underway,
and
so
they
closed
last
week.
That's
wonderful
news.
AD
In
addition
to
the
city's
5.8
million,
the
city
did
allocate
20
million
of
its
bonds,
which
then
in
turn
leveraged
another
20
million
of
affordable
of
low-income
housing,
tax
credits.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
further
questions
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
support
of
this
incredibly
important
issue
of
fire
suppression
systems.
R
A
B
A
I
also
just
want
to
make
a
note
for
my
council
members
that,
before
that,
we
adjourn
I
want
to
note
that
I'm
in
the
process
of
scheduling
a
regular
committee
meeting
for
the
budget
Committee
in
Committee
in
January
of
2023.
So
we
can
make
codify
the
city
of
minneapolis's
2023
Financial
policies
due
to
a
lack
of
time
during
all
of
our
markup
meetings
because
of
the
high
volume
of
amendments
and
legislative
directives
and
the
increased
amount
of
time
needed
to
consider
all
amendments
and
legislative
directives
this
year.
A
Further,
as
a
number
of
council
members
will
be
or
would
have
been
absent
for
the
markup
meeting
tomorrow.
If
we
had
had
it,
the
decision
was
made
to
schedule
an
additional
regular
committee
meeting
for
the
budget
Committee
in
January
of
2023
to
codify
the
city
council
to
codify
the
city
of
minneapolis's
financial
policies.
A
As
given
the
importance
of
our
financial
policies,
I
felt
it
was
necessary
for
council
members
to
have
the
opportunity
to
be
briefed
on
the
2023
Financial
policies
and
for
us
to
receive
an
in-depth
presentation
on
our
2023
Financial
policy
policies
in
advance
of
doing
this
work.
If
council
members
have
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
discuss
once
we
adjourn
today
now
we
shall
move
to
approve,
but.
P
S
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
now
I
will
move
to
approve
the
2023
budget.
As
listed
on
the
agenda
and
as
amended
by
the
budget
committee,
this
motion
formally
forwards
the
2023
budget
package
to
the
December
6
adjourn
city
council
meeting
scheduled
for
605
pm
as
you'll
see.
The
budget
package
includes
seven
separate
resolutions
which
approve
the
2023
City
budget
and
tax
levy,
the
fiscal
year
2023
Consolidated
plan
and
the
proposed
Water
and
Sewer
rates.
A
B
A
I
also
would
like
to
ask
the
clerk
to
cancel
our
meeting
for
tomorrow,
since
we
were
able
to
get
through
all
of
our
business
today.
I
also
want
to
note
that
if
we
could
get
for,
we
have
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
meeting.
If
we
just
need
to
give
Communications
about
15
minutes
and
I.
Think
councilmember
Johnson
has
something
to
say
about
that.
Thank.
U
A
U
Do
you
would
you
like
more
time,
we've
got
a
big
agenda,
but
all
right
well.
Well,
just
for
you,
council,
member
Vita
and
all
the
other
committee
members.
What's
that,
okay,
we
well,
we
do
have
a
number
I
will
know.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
hallway
for
this
committee,
so
yeah
we'll
we'll
go
to
20.
A
M
A
L
A
Missed
it
yes,
and
so
I
also
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
my
colleagues.
Sorry
before
you
guys,
leave
I
know
but
I'm
a
little
emotional
here,
but
I
just
appreciate.
This
was
a
lot
of
work
that
we
put
together
and
we've
shifted
billions
of
dollars
to
help
and
support
the
residents
of
City
of
Minneapolis
and
I'm,
grateful
that
we
did
this
work
together
and
I'm
honored
to
have
been
able
to
do
this
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
today.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
to
our
budget
director
Emily
coover,
who
has
hand
held
you,
know,
held
our
hand
through
all
this
I
want
to
thank
my
staff,
Melissa,
Hill
and
Corrine,
and
all
of
our
staff
members
who
have
worked
so
hard
in
this
and
then
all
of
our
department,
heads
and
then,
of
course,
our
clerks.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
everybody.
And
finally,
we
are
adjourned.
So
foreign.
