Today
we
will
continue
hearing
presentations
from
City
departments
on
the
mayor's
2023-2024
recommended
budgets
on
the
agenda.
Today
is
the
convention
center
finance
and
Property
Services
and
the
health
department.
Our
first
presentation
is
from
the
Minneapolis
Convention
Center
I've
allocated
up
to
45
minutes
for
this
presentation
and
the
corresponding
q
a
if
we
reach
the
45
minute
Mark
I'll
give
notice
of
a
five-minute
grace
period,
after
which
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
presentation.
I
recognize
executive
director
Jeff
Johnson
to
give
that
presentation.
Welcome.
B
Great
thank
you
chair
Koski
and
members
of
the
budget
committee.
First,
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
appreciate
your
time
this
morning,
as
we
go
through
the
2023
downtown
assets
fund.
Again,
my
name
is
Jeff
Johnson
I'm,
the
executive
director
at
the
Minneapolis
Convention
Center
downtown
assets
fund
oversees
the
convention
center,
the
Target,
Center
and
PV
Plaza
I
want
to
take
a
second
to
just
call
out
a
few
people
in
the
crowd.
B
Chris
hundreds,
our
director
of
Business
Services,
is
with
us
today
and
Chris
puts
in
all
of
the
effort
to
make
our
budget
work
and
she
also
put
together
this
presentation.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
her
and
then
some
Partners
from
Meet
Minneapolis,
Sandy,
Christensen
and
Bill
deef
are
also
here
to
answer
questions.
If
there
are
any
about
meet
me
apples,
so
thank
you.
B
B
Our
structure
remains
very
much
the
same
as
in
past
years,
but
I
would
say
that
2022
has
been
the
most
difficult
Staffing
situation
in
our
history.
As
we
worked
to
rehire
staff,
we
found
it
to
be
very
difficult
to
fill
positions,
especially
our
part-time
and
Frontline
positions.
Throughout
the
year
we
hovered
around
75
percent
Staffing.
B
I
do
want
to
pause
for
a
second
to
really
talk
about
our
staff
and
I
know
that
many
of
the
Departments
are
saying
this
and
our
city
employees
are
really
stepping
up
during
this
time,
but
at
the
convention
center
our
staff
has
really
stepped
up.
Knowing
that
many
times
we
are
understaffed
through
busy
times,
and
they
all
understand
what
they're
here
for
we're.
B
B
B
As
we
look
at
mcc's
operating
Revenue,
you
can
see
the
effects
of
the
pandemic.
We
had
high
hopes
for
2022,
because
many
events
that
canceled
during
the
pandemic
rebooked
for
2022.,
but
as
you
can
see,
we
are
predicting
that
we'll
be
coming
in
under
budget
for
Revenue
in
2022,
mainly
because
of
the
Omicron
surge
during
the
first
quarter
of
business
and
some
very
large
event,
cancellations,
especially
in
the
month
of
September.
B
On
the
positive
side,
the
months
May,
June
and
July
saw
historic,
Revenue
numbers
for
those
months.
As
we
look
towards
2023,
we
are
budgeting
for
softer
Revenue
year,
based
on
a
few
factors.
First,
we
generally
book
large
conventions
two
to
three
years
out
and
as
we
were
going
through
the
pandemic.
Obviously
that
was
a
very
difficult
time
and
it
was
difficult
time
for
conventions
to
make
decisions
about
the
future.
And
so
as
we
look
at
2023,
we
do
not
have
as
many
large
conventions
as
we
have
typically
in
the
past.
B
So
this
next
slide
will
hope,
hopefully
validate
some
of
the
issues
that
I
just
described
and
there's
a
lot
of
information
on
the
slide
and
I
really
love
this
information,
and
it's
very
exciting
to
me,
but
I
will
try
to
go
through
it
quickly
for
you
and
try
to
hit
some
of
the
the
hot
spots
first.
This
was
a
survey
of
over
five
or
just
under
500,
Meeting,
Planners
and
and
Convention
associations
from
around
the
country
it
was
given.
B
If
you
look
at
our
positives,
which
would
be
areas
that
we
are
above
the
mean
score,
or
you
could
say
it
a
different
way
in
the
top
20
cities,
those
positives
were
that
we
are
an
accessible
City,
so
a
walkable
City,
it's
very
easy
to
get
around
and
explore
the
city
a
second
that
Minneapolis
is
an
all-around
great
convention
City.
So
that's
how
our
clients
see
us
and
then
third,
we
have
a
superior
convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
and
actually
meet
Minneapolis,
ranked
number
two
out
of
the
40
destinations
for
convention
and
Visitors
Bureau.
B
B
If
you
look
back
to
2019
at
the
same
question
that
we
asked
are
clients,
90
or
I'm,
sorry,
a
100
percent
of
the
respondents
said
that
they
felt
safe
inside
the
convention
center
and
96
percent
of
respondents
said
that
they
felt
safe
when
out
in
the
city.
So
that's
a
drop
72
percent
to
90
96
percent.
B
Obviously,
safety
is
a
strong
headwind
for
our
recovery.
We
continue
to
partner
and
work
with
MPD
in
first
precinct
to
make
sure
that
they
are
a
resource
that
we
are
a
resource
to
them
and
we
communicate
our
needs
and
let
them
know
when
we
have
events
coming
into
town
meet.
Minneapolis
has
also
been
a
great
partner
in
helping
us
get
a
clear
and
real
message
out
about
Minneapolis.
B
These
messages
will
continue
over
the
coming
months
and
into
2023
with
a
campaign
aimed
at
telling
our
story
and
inviting
people
back
to
explore
all
the
fun
activities
in
Minneapolis
foreign
each
year.
We
ask
our
clients
if
they
had
a
problem
while
at
the
convention
center
and
then
if
we
were
able
to
resolve
their
problem.
I
see
this
as
a
measurement
of
our
Effectiveness
in
both
avoiding
problems,
but
also
in
reacting
when
a
problem
does
happen.
B
Our
goal
is
to
resolve
at
least
60
percent
of
those
problems
immediately,
and
you
can
see
from
a
small
sample
size
in
2022.
We've
been
successful
in
doing
that
and
again
it
really
again
speaks
to
the
effort
that
our
staff
puts
into
making
sure
that
they
are
there
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
make.
The
client
have
a
great
experience.
B
B
But
we
have
started
to
make
those
gains
and
come
back
from
where
we
were.
As
I
stated
earlier,
the
hospitality
Community
could
have
brought
more
jobs
back
if
the
workers
would
have
been
available,
and
we
hope
that
over
time
our
employment
levels
will
get
back
up
to
those
levels
that
you
see
on
the
slide.
B
B
We
ask
our
clients
how
they
rate
our
facility
and
the
results
have
been
very
consistent
over
time
and
really.
We
believe
that
is
because
of
the
support
that
you
give
us,
through
the
budget
and
through
our
Hospitality
sales
taxes,
to
invest
in
our
building
and
make
sure
that
our
building
is
well
maintained
and
updated.
B
You
can
see
that
the
scores
increased
in
2021
I
would
say
that
that
most
likely
happened,
because
we
had
less
events
during
2021.
We
had
more
time
in
between
events
and
our
staff
could
really
make
sure
that
it
sparkled
in
the
building
before
each
and
every
event.
When
things
are
a
little
bit
busier,
it's
a
little
bit
harder
to
maybe
get
to
that
level.
B
Sustainability
is
another
area
of
our
facilities.
It's
not
just
a
goal
for
MCC,
it's
really
an
essential
component
of
how
we
make
a
positive
impact
on
our
community.
For
years,
we
have
focused
on
many
initiatives
but
reported
on
our
recycling
rate,
total
energy
usage
and
water
usage
with
the
shutdown
of
the
building
during
the
pandemic.
Our
recent
numbers
are
not
statistically
relevant
other
than
to
say
that
we
did
everything
that
we
could
to
save
resources
during
that
time.
B
One
new
initiative
that
we
implemented
this
year
was
the
installation
of
a
green
team,
and
you
can
see
a
picture
of
that
which
are
employee
volunteers
that
help
educate
our
exhibitors
during
High
waste
and
recycling
periods
during
show,
move
in
and
move
out,
the
Green
Team
actively
Works
to
make
sure
that
the
proper
items
get
placed
in
their
appropriate
waste
streams.
During
the
UNFI
convention
this
summer
we
were
able
to
divert
nine
tons
of
cardboard
and
eight
tons
of
food
waste
from
landfills
due
to
the
green
team's
work.
B
B
We
highlight
entertainment
taxes
in
this
slide,
because
the
Target
Center
has
been
the
driving
force
behind
our
recovery
and
entertainment
taxes.
2022
has
been
the
most
successful
concert
year
in
Target,
Center's
history,
and
they
still
have
some
great
concerts
coming
up
here
at
the
end
of
the
year.
B
If
you
want
to
go,
look
on
their
website
and
buy
tickets
also,
the
Timberwolves
season
is
starting
which
goes
into
2023,
and
it
looks
that
they
are
going
to
be
Fielding
a
competitive
team
and
there's
a
lot
of
excitement
that
is
surrounding
the
Target
Center
here
leading
into
2023..
B
We
completed
a
facility
needs
assessment
and
have
started
to
complete
projects
that
were
deemed
by
the
outside
Engineers
during
the
assessment
as
critical
needs.
We
track
our
progress
on
completing
these
projects.
So
far
in
2022
we
have
completed
36
percent
of
the
critical
need
projects
and
looked
to
complete
or
start
the
rest
of
the
projects
by
the
end
of
the
year.
It's
been
a
difficult
year.
It's
always
hard
to
get
in
and
do
projects
when
there's
a
lot
of
events
and
being
a
very
busy
year
for
the
Target
Center.
B
That
has
been
a
challenge
also,
we
have
seen,
as
as
everyone
talks
about
the
supply
chain
issues.
We
have
had
to
wait
for
a
lot
of
things
and
that
has
delayed
us
a
little
bit
this
year,
but
I
feel
really
good
about
our
progress
and
getting
a
lot
of
these
projects
done
at
the
Target
Center
by
the
end
of
the
year
or
at
least
started.
B
B
Our
partner
green
Minneapolis
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
programming,
PV
Plaza.
This
past
season,
as
a
way
to
welcome
people
back
after
the
pandemic
and
show
off
the
beautiful
restoration
from
May
through
October
green
Minneapolis,
hosted
an
artistically,
diverse
group
of
70
events
and
that
Drew
around
2
700
people.
You
can
see
a
picture
of
one
of
the
dance
performances
and
I
can
tell
you
in
person.
It
was
just
stunning
and
beautiful
way
to
really
show
off
PB
Plaza
and
to
get
people
back
together
again.
B
B
B
B
It
will
always
be
difficult
for
us
to
impact
this
percentage,
because
many
of
our
contracts
that
we
hold
are
very
very
large,
but
we
are
committed
to
using
TMP
vendors
as
much
as
possible
when
we
can.
So.
In
summary,
we
are
still
in
recovery,
2023,
we'll
see
modest
expense
increases,
driven
mostly
by
inflation
and
utilities,
and
the
need
to
fully
staff
our
operation.
We
are
predicting
slow
revenue
recovery,
especially
with
event
Revenue,
as
safety
perceptions
are
among
the
most
important
factors
holding
our
industry.
Back
with
that,
I
will
stand
for
questions.
A
Thank
you,
director,
Johnson.
We
now
have
some
time
for
questions
to
ensure
that
all
my
council
members
have
the
opportunity
to
participate.
Just
like
we
have
in
our
last
meetings.
You
can
put
yourself
in
queue
for
one
question
at
a
time
and
then
put
yourself
back
in
queue
so
I
see
we
have
consumero
wansley.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
Koski
I,
just
wanted
to
ask
a
question
in
regards
to
the
status
of,
or
at
least
your
analysis,
of
how
the
arpa
funds
that
we
allocated
I.
Think
specifically,
there
was
the
meet
Minneapolis
marketing
campaign
where
we
allocated
about
1.2
million
and
then
also
400
000
for
the
downtown
activation
I
know.
Both
of
those
allocations
were
tied
towards
some
of
the
things
that
you
raised
in
your
presentation
of
either
attracting
jobs.
Securing
contracts
with
perspective.
D
B
Thank
you,
chair
Koski
council
member
wensley
meet
Minneapolis,
received
two
installments
of
arpa
funds.
There
was
a
phase
one
installment
and
a
phase
two
installment
phase.
One
was
a
million
dollars
and
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
that
went
to
incent
an
event
to
come
to
the
convention
center
into
the
city
in
2023.
B
And
then
hopefully
they
get
excited
and
they
will
then
book
events,
and
so
that
is
a
huge
sales
component
of
that
first
arpa
spending
and
then
the
other
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
was
used
really
to
work
on
getting
people
to
come
back
to
stay
in
hotels
in
Minneapolis,
and
so
there
was
a
program
put
in
place
through
Expedia,
where
they
would
Target
people
that
were
searching
for
hotel
rooms
and
they
would
make
sure
that
minneapolis's
hotel
rooms
were
front
and
center.
B
That
program
itself
to
date
has
almost
drawn
13
000
room
nights,
so
that's
room
stays
I
guess
would
be
one
way
to
explain
it
to,
and
so
that
was
how
the
first
component
of
arpa
was
spent
or
is
being
spent,
and
then
the
second
component
of
arpa
phase
two
meet
Minneapolis
received
1.2
million
dollars.
The
majority
of
that
money.
If
I
set
a
percentage
I
would
probably
be
wrong,
but
it's
around
60
to
70
percent
is
going
to
be
used
on
the
campaign.
B
That
really
starts
to
talk
about
why
people
should
come
back
to
Minneapolis
for
events
and
for
that
Urban
experience,
and
so
that
project
is
rolling
out
right
now,
and
you
will
see
that
over
the
next
probably
12
to
14
months,
it
will
be
going
out
into
into
the
community
and
into
the
nation.
The
other
dollars
then,
would
be
held
back
for
sales
functions.
B
There
is
some
desire
to
look
at
trying
to
help
an
event
become
you
know
in
Austin
they
have
South
by
Southwest
or
other
places.
Have
events
that
that
really
stay
and
are
are
something
that
draw
people
in
from
around
the
country
that
we're
looking
at,
if
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
help
an
event,
get
started
like
that
or
to
take
an
event,
that's
already
here
and
bolster
it.
But
then
the
other
dollars
will
then
be
used
to
really
look
at
some
of
our
need
periods.
B
And
then
the
other
area
of
arpa
was
the
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
next
three
years
and
that
has
been
contracted
to
go
to
the
downtown
Council
and
the
downtown
Council
then
uses
that
for
their
programming
for
things
like
Holidazzle
for
things
like
the
aquatennial,
and
so
they
will
give
a
report
on
how
many
people
attended
and
all
of
those
types
of
metrics
I.
Don't
have
that
report
with
me
today.
Okay,.
D
E
Not
a
question
just
to
comment
is
that
okay,
congratulations
on
a
great
year
without
question,
you
have
done
an
amazing
job
of
taking
a
very
difficult
situation,
managing
hundreds
of
employees
who
lost
their
jobs,
figuring
out
ways
to
reassign
them
doing
Capital
Improvements,
including
the
beautiful
Plaza,
without
any
drama,
and
to
make
it
one
of
the
most
ecologically
sustainable
in
the
country
managing
a
large
contract
at
the
convent
at
the
Target
Center,
which
people
forget
is
under
your
purview
and
recognizing
the
trend
towards
experiences
and
travel
versus
buying
tangible
Dry
Goods.
E
You
have
a
lot
of
work
on
your
plate.
You've
done
an
incredible
job.
I
just
wanted
to
have
an
opportunity
to
thank
you,
especially
for
the
way
that
you've
treated
our
employees
at
the
convention
center,
who
have
been
transferred
from
job
to
job,
but
you've
tried
to
retain
every
one
of
them.
You've
done
an
incredible
job
on
hiring
your
bipac
numbers.
Look
great!
You
treat
women
really
well
in
your
agency.
It's
just
been
really
successful
during
a
very,
very
stressful
time.
Stable
leadership
in
this
area
is
critically
important.
You've
done
a
great
job
Jeff.
A
A
You
know
your
recruitment
and
you
know
just
your
weight
and
kind
of
maintain
the
the
workers
that
you
do
have
and
it's
great
to
see
those
bypoc
and
those
female
numbers.
Increasing
I
love
the
trend.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
to
the
members
of
Minneapolis
and
others
for
being
here
today
too
with
us.
So
thank
you.
A
I
just
want
to
acknowledge.
Councilmember
Goodman
has
joined
us
vice
president
Paul
Masano,
cosmar,
chunktai,
councilor,
Johnson
and
councilmember
Payne
are
also
with
us
so
before
we
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
before
we
head
on
to
our
second
presentation,
which
is
from
our
finance
and
Property
Services
I've
also
allocated
up
to
45.
Excuse
me
minutes
for
this
presentation
and
I
see
our
Chief
Financial
Officer
dushani
Dai
is
already
here
ready
to
go
so
welcome.
Thank.
F
You
thank
you
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
budget
committee.
Again
my
name
is
dushanied.
I
am
the
Chief
Financial
Officer
for
the
city.
I
will
be
presenting
the
details
of
the
mayor's
2023
in
2024
budget
for
finance
and
Property
Services
Department
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
this
budget
was
prepared
with
input
and
thoughtful
deliberation
with
great
leaders
within
Finance
leadership
and
also
the
mayor's
office.
F
F
You
know
most
of
the
work
that
happens
in
finance
and
Property
Services
happens
very
quietly
and
behind
all
the
great
work
there
are
great
leaders
and
I
wanted
to
put
this
picture
up,
because
not
all
of
the
directors
on
this
get
get
a
chance
to
come
to
the
podium
and
talk
about
their
work.
So
as
I
go
through
the
presentation
and
I
mention
names
with
the
division,
you
have
a
chance
to
connect
the
memes
with
the
faces
that
I've
shown
here.
F
So,
as
with
most
of
the
Departments
you've
probably
heard
from
with
the
budget
reductions
in
2020,
there
were
several
positions
that
were
held
vacant.
But
we
are
in
the
position
of
adding
back
some
of
those
vacant
positions
and
we're
pleased
to
have
the
Staffing
levels
come
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels
in
2022
in
2023,
we're
expecting
to
be
at
288.4
in
Staffing
and
growing
to
292
in
2024.
F
So
I
will
go
through
each
division,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
There
are
10
of
them,
I'll
start
with
Administration
Administration
division
is
the
smallest
of
all
of
the
divisions
with
only
four
employees,
and
this
division
includes
myself,
Deputy,
Lori,
Johnson
and
two
administrative
staff
we're
a
mighty
team.
It's
all
four
four
women
in
our
team.
F
We
do
great
work
behind
the
scenes
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that
the
role
of
the
CFO
is
to
ensure
that
the
financial
health
of
the
city
is
maintained,
and
we
do
this
by
engaging
with
the
division,
leaders,
updating
policies
as
needed
and
making
sure
that
the
policy
makers
are
informed
of
any
Financial
policy
changes
that
are
made
within
the
city.
F
So
as
the
CFO
also
providing
information
to
the
investor
community
and
rating
agencies
on
the
financial
status
of
the
city
to
build
confidence
ahead
of
any
bond
sales
as
executive
director
Jeff
Johnson
mentioned,
we
have
a
perception
issue
and
that's
true
for
the
investor
Community
as
well.
Given
the
budget
crisis
that
was
presented
in
2020
but
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
we
have
recovered
from
that,
and
our
bond
rating
agencies
have
acknowledged
the
financial
planning
that
has
taken
place
since
then
and
have
given
us
positive
reviews.
F
So
some
of
the
internal
work
that
has
been
the
focus
for
the
administration
division
revolved
around
employee
retention
and
including
some
additional
benefits
to
encourage
staff
to
advance
in
their
career,
and
we
offered
a
tuition
reimbursement
program
within
finance
and
Property
Services,
Department
and
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
many
have
taken
advantage
of
that
and
have
requested
reimbursement
through
that
program.
F
In
addition,
we
have
re-established
the
equity
and
inclusion
work
group
within
finance
and
Property
Services
to
create
a
culture,
that's
more
inclusive
for
all
staff
within
our
department,
so
as
part
of
my
role
as
a
CFO
I've
also
assisted
the
BET
during
the
time
of
vacancy
in
the
bet
with
whatever
they
needed
and
Miss.
Lori
Johnson
has
also
provided
assistance
to
the
BET
board
to
carry
out
their
duties.
F
One
thing
I
didn't
mention
in
the
previous
slide
is
I've
also
worked
with.
The
government
rocks
restructure
work
group.
There
are
many
implications
for
budget
and
Staffing
as
part
of
the
restructure
and
the
budget
team
Lori
Lori,
Johnson
and
myself
have
been
included
in
the
work
group
that
will
determine
Staffing
budget
and
I.T
in
in
that
restructure
process.
F
The
next
division
is
the
banking
investment
and
debt.
This
division
has
six
employees
and
is
led
by
director
Alan
Hoppe.
This
division
manages
the
banking
relationships
with
goal
of
minimizing
the
cost
to
the
city.
They
also
oversee
the
city's
one
billion
dollars
in
Investments
and
provide
the
best
return
on
investment.
F
F
This
division
also
increases
the
investment
revenue,
and
this
reduces
the
property
tax
burden
for
the
city,
the
more
income
we
can
bring
in
from
investment.
We
can
reallocate
those
resources
to
much
needed
programs
within
the
city.
F
I
would
like
to
highlight
that
the
city
sold
121.5
million
in
bonds
this
year
and
as
part
of
this
Bond
sale.
The
city
was
reaffirmed
with
the
Outlook
that
the
bond
rating
agencies
gave
us
back
in
2021
with
a
positive
outlook
seems
like
a
simple
thing,
but
it
does
make
a
huge
difference
when
we
do
go
out
to
the
market,
when
we
do
have
a
positive
outlook
on
our
financials.
F
Amelia
Cruz
the
budget
director
leads
this
team
and
you
probably
see
her
the
most
during
the
budget
season
at
this
podium,
and
the
main
goal
of
this
division
is
to
facilitate
the
budget
process
with
the
Departments
and
policy
makers
to
produce
a
balanced
budget
and
in
a
sustainable
Five-Year.
Plan.
F
The
policy
makers,
City
Department
staff
residents
and
businesses
rely
on
transparent
budget
development
process.
With
that
in
mind,
the
city
uses
the
budget
website
the
financial
transparency
tool
to
effectively
communicate
how
the
city
resources
are
allocated
throughout
the
year.
The
budget
staff,
in
collaboration
with
the
accounting
staff
review
and
monitor
Department
spending
to
ensure
accountability,
so
I'll
highlight
a
few
accomplishments.
F
F
As
you're
aware,
Personnel
spending
is
a
significant
cost
to
the
city.
One
of
the
projects
that
the
budget
team
took
on
is
to
analyze
the
personal
budgeting
and
they
were
able
to
save,
uncover
Savings
of
6.6
million
dollars.
This
is
significant
because
those
savings
can
then
be
reapplied
to
other
programs
that
are
in
need
of
funding.
F
Another
accomplishment
for
the
budget
team,
in
addition
to
coordinating
a
two-year
budget
this
year,
the
arpa
funding
of
271
million
was
deployed
through
yet
another
budget
process
simultaneously.
F
I
would
also
like
to
highlight
that
the
government
Finance
Officers
Association
award
was
presented
to
the
city
for
excellence
in
budget
presentation.
This
National
Organization
rated
the
budget
book,
which
was
completely
online
for
the
first
time,
and
we
were
given
very
high
marks.
We
had
few
years
that
we
did
not
receive
the
award,
so
this
is
this
was
great
that
they
recognized
the
budget
office
for
this
work.
F
So
the
finance
and
Property
Services
Department
only
had
two
change
items
this
year
in
the
proposed
budget.
The
first
one
is
for
a
capital
budget
analyst.
This
FTE
would
manage
and
support
the
capital
budget
process.
This
position
will
focus
on
supporting
the
work
of
the
33-member
Capital
long-range
Improvement
committee
administer
the
20-year
person
Street
ordinance,
and
one
of
the
goals
of
this
new
position
is
to
analyze
the
spending
data
by
geographic
area
and
eliminate
racial
disparities
in
our
Capital
budgeting
process.
F
Foreign,
the
second
change
item
is
also
in
the
budget
office.
Will
this
change
item
would
add
a
senior
budget
evaluation
analyst.
The
main
focus
of
this
position
will
be
to
fully
streamline
the
RPA
funding
process.
As
you
know,
the
the
arpa
funding
Will
Go
On
Through,
the
2024
and
2025
budget
years.
F
This
position
will
ensure
compliance
with
all
regulations
and
ensure
the
reporting
is
submitted
Timely
simultaneously.
This
position
will
also
maximize
the
the
two-year
budget
process
and
identify
any
process
improvements.
F
F
F
The
next
division
is
the
controller
Division,
and
this
is
led
by
Mr,
Lyle
Hodges,
who's,
a
controller,
and
he
plays
a
critical
role
in
providing
financial
information
to
policy
makers,
City
staff,
external
stakeholders
such
as
the
public
city,
investors,
Bond
rating
agencies,
the
state,
auditor
and
Grant
agencies.
F
In
order
to
be
transparent
about
the
city's
financial
position.
This
division
prepares
the
city's
quarterly
financial
report
as
the
as
well
as
the
annual
financial
report.
Mr
Lyle
Hodges
does
come
to
this
body
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
updates
the
financial
status
of
the
city.
F
F
F
The
next
division
is
development.
Finance
development,
Finance
is
led
by
director,
Angie
skildam
and
the
division
provides
management,
analysis,
planning,
administrative
services
to
community
planning
and
economic
development.
F
This
division
contains
10
staff
and
I
would
like
to
highlight
a
few
outcomes
from
their
work.
F
The
team
has
filed
86
annual
reports
to
the
state,
and
this
includes
individual
Tif
districts
that
have
made
8
million
in
no
payments
every
six
months.
So
the
team
of
10
creates
has
a
lot
of
volume
going
through
their
workload,
and
they
they
work
directly
with
cpad,
along
with
other
department,
has
to
carry
out
their
work.
F
During
a
recent
audit,
it
was
determined
that
all
tax
filings
were
accurate
and
filed
on
time,
in
addition
to
their
regular
work,
payroll
division
continues
to
partner
with
it
to
upgrade
systems
to
create
a
better
user
experience
for
staff.
F
The
next
division
is
the
procurement
Department.
This
division
is
led
by
director,
Pam
Fernandez
and
the
team
manages
the
bidding
Contracting
process
bidding
and
Contracting
process
for
the
city
through
an
open,
competitive
and
cost-effective
way,
while
ensuring
the
city
follows
relevant
procurement
laws
and
policies.
F
F
F
The
next
division
is
Property
Services.
This
division
is
led
by
director,
Barbara
O'brien
and
the
division
provides
comprehensive
land
facility,
radio
security
and
Furnishing
needs
for
the
city
owned
and
leased
facilities.
These
Services
include
preventative
and
routine
maintenance.
Construction,
tenant
improvements,
as
well
as
security
and
life
safety
needs.
F
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
work
that
Property
Services
does
managing
61
city-owned
and
occupy
occupied
facilities.
F
Negotiate
about
50
leases
annually,
administers
over
a
hundred
million
in
Capital
Improvements
and
manages
1
800.
Oh
no
one
million
1
million
what
it's
right:
okay,
1.8
million
in
square
feet
of
multi-use
facilities,
that's
a
huge
portfolio
for
the
property
services
department
and
they
come
to
work
every
day
with
a
positive
attitude
and
get
the
work
done
and
I
do
have
to
give
kudos
to
the
Property
Services
Department
for
coming
into
work,
not
hybrid,
mostly
on-site,
every
day
during
the
pandemic
and
now
so
thank
you.
Barbara
and
team.
F
F
F
F
F
Last
but
not
least,
Utility
Billing
division
is
led
by
director
Ali
Salim
Mohammed.
This
function
is
mandated
by
Minneapolis
city
ordinance
and
has
a
team
of
37..
F
Utility
Billing
collects
a
lot
of
data.
One
thing
that
we're
really
proud
of
is
the
100
accuracy
of
the
Billings
that
are
sent
out.
This
is
a
great
accomplishment,
given
that
they
process
over
5
000
in
bills
daily
and
I
would
like
to
also
highlight
some
of
the
metrics.
The
division
has
shared
with
me.
F
80
of
the
calls
received
are
answered
within
60
Seconds
and
at
the
end
of
the
call,
the
customers
are
also
given
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
a
survey
and
the
division
has
received
95
satisfaction
rating.
This
team
has
also
been
able
to
have
43
of
the
customers.
43
of
the
customers
receive
their
bills
electronically
and
42
percent
have
also
signed
up
for
autopay,
which
saves
the
city
money
for
not
having
to
mail
out
bills
and
also
creates
a
consistent
Revenue
stream
with
autopay
setup.
F
So,
as
you
can
see,
finance
and
Property
Services
10
divisions,
10
division,
scope
of
responsibility
is
varied
from
division
to
divisions.
We
have
architects,
cleaning
staff
to
accountants,
to
Utility
Billing
staff
right.
But
one
thing
that
is
consistent
is
the
commitment
of
staff
that
work
in
each
of
the
area,
areas,
they're,
professional
and
High
Caliber
and
continuously
strive
to
do
the
best
for
City
of
Minneapolis
the
accomplish
accomplishments
from
last
year
and
the
awards
received
from
external
Finance
organizations
show
the
high
standards
we
as
a
department
strive
for
Madam
chair.
F
A
D
Thank
you,
chair
Koski,
director
die
I
just
had
a
question.
You
raised
this
a
little
bit
earlier
in
regards
to
the
Department's
role.
In
advising
specifically
our
bet
board.
D
I
know
they
just
had
a
very
contentious
vote
around
the
tax
levy
and
just
wanted
to
know
kind
of
like
what's
your
Department's
role
in
advising
providing
analysis
when
it
comes
to
decision
making
that
that
body
is
looking
at
around
tax
levies
and
the
analysis
that
you
all
kind
of
provide
to
them,
just
to
get
a
sense
of
how
we're
providing
that
supportive
staff.
F
Chirkovsky
council,
member
wansley,
the
data
we
provide
the
bet
is
very
factual.
City
Assessor
has
provided
information
that
we
in
turn
turn
it
into
how
how
would
I
say
this
so
the
information,
the
City
Assessor,
provided
we
input
into
a
system
that
we
made
available
to
the
BET
board.
So
they
can
see
the
impact
on
any
Levy
increases
to
certain
Wards
or
Residential
Properties.
F
We
did
not
make
any
recommendations
to
the
BT
board.
The
information
was
simply
provided
for
their
decision
making.
I,
don't
believe
the
the
vote
was
contentious.
There
was
a
motion
to
reduce
the
levy
and
the
vote
was
taken
and
there
was
an
outcome
that
you
know
that
we
all
agreed
to.
D
It
yeah
thanks
for
that
clarification.
I.
Think
in
terms
of
there
was
lots
of
at
least
from
my
understanding,
a
debate
about
this
tax
level,
because
it
is
increasing
because,
as
you
raise,
it's
not
going
to
be
equitably
felt
across
the
city.
The
six
well
13,
wherever
we're
at
so
I,
do
recognize
that
there
were
bet
members
there
who
raised
those
very
justifiable
concerns
and
just
wanted
to
know
what
was
the
analysis
proactively
provided
by
our
staff,
and
it
seems,
like
you,
answered
that
there
was
no
recommendations
to
maybe.
E
D
Them
really
figure
out
the
full
on
impacts
of
again.
How
is
this
really
going
to
be
absorbed
in
an
equitable
manner
across
our
entire
city,
especially
in
light
of
the
meet
Minneapolis
presentation?
Where
we've,
you
know,
learned
about
the
burdens
facing
downtown.
So
thank
you
for
that
information
of
just
again
how
or
what's
the
role
of
of
advising
for
that
board.
F
Madam
chair
I
would
like
to
also
add
that
the
role
of
the
finance
department
is
just
to
provide
data
and
make
recommendations.
We
don't
influence
the
decision
one
way
or
the
other
and
the
goal
of
the
capital
capital
budget
analyst
would
be
similar.
We
will
analyze
the
data.
Ultimately
it's
up
to
the
click
members
and
also
the
mem,
the
mayor's
office
and
this
body
to
approve
the
capital
project
plan.
G
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair
at
the
chair's
privilege.
I
do
have
one
very
short
question
and
one
medium
size
may
I
have
two.
A
We
do
have
consumer
Goodman
after
you.
G
So
if
you
pull
myself
back
okay,
thank
you.
What
and
and
maybe
I
miss
this,
but
what
three
departments
were
over
budget
and
was
it
were
they
one
percent
over
two
percent
over.
F
Madam,
chair,
councilmember,
rainville
in
I
believe
2020
and
2021.
There
were
several
three
departments
that
went
over
budget
I
believe
in
2021.
It
was
public
works
and
fire
that
went
over
budget
in
20.
F
Was
it
2021?
The
the
third
Department
was
the
city
clerk
and
and
Council
that
went
over
budget,
but
overall
I
would
say
that
the
city
as
a
whole
did
not
go
over
budget.
So
you
know
we
do
manage
internally
and
make
sure
that
the
city
as
a
whole
do
not
go
over
budget
great.
E
Right,
councilmember
Goodman.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
also
share
council
member
wansley's
concerns
about
the
size
of
the
tax
levy.
Perhaps
you
could
explain
better
than
I.
Could
the
end
my
understanding,
which
is
they
set
the
maximum,
but
we
could
come
in
and
say
it's
less.
We
can
certainly
make
reductions
in
any
Department
we
wanted
in
order
to
reduce
the
levy
we
could.
E
What
we
can't
can
do
is
control
what
the
park
board
does
and
it
looks
like
they're
looking
at
like
6.6
percent
and
the
schools
which
I
don't
know
where
that
is
at.
So
maybe
you
could
explain
the
process
because,
although
they
didn't
agree
to
lower
the
maximum,
it
doesn't
mean
we
couldn't
take
an
action,
and
that
has
happened
in
the
past.
I
have
been
part
of
a
group
that
has
reduced
the
levy
by
about
one
percent
in
the
past.
So
if
you
could
explain
that
that'd
be
great
Madam.
F
Chair
council,
member
Goodman,
you
are
absolutely
correct.
The
maximum
Levy
is
set
by
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation.
All
that
is
is
a
maximum
you,
as
the
council,
could
determine
during
the
markup
process,
to
reduce
the
maximum
Levy
to
something
other
than
the
6.8
that
was
presented.
F
That
is
up
to
you
and
the
same
data
that
we
provided.
The
bet
is
also
available
to
you
to
determine
if
a
lower
Levy
is
more
appropriate.
Based
on
the
information
that
you
have
gathered
through
that
data,
the
budget
office
can
facilitate
access
to
that
system
that
we
are
referring
to.
The
city
assessor's
office
has
created
an
online
tool
that
that's
very
easy
to
understand,
and
you
could
dig
into
the
data
and
determine
that
a
lower
level
lower
level
E
is
more
acceptable.
G
Thank
you
ma'am
sure.
My
question
is
for
Property
Services
I'm,
just
wondering
how
how
do
you
view
the
security
in
City
Hall
here
you
know
we
have.
We've
had
a
lot
of
activity
lately.
Are
we
planning
any
new
security
issues
here.
H
Madam,
chair
council,
member
rain,
Bell,
so
Property
Services
Works
in
partnership
with
MBC,
and
so
we
have
recently,
as
you
know,
have
been
able
to
stand
up
our
own
SOC
security
operations
center,
which
is
located
in
our
new
building
that
allows
Property
Services
security
staff
to
oversee
our
portfolio
and
cameras
within
this
city
and
monitor
our
buildings.
H
Nbc
has
their
own
stand-alone
security
team,
and
so
we
are
very
much
in
partnership
with
them.
We
we
can
work
to
influence
and
make
requests
based
on
city,
employee
needs
and
desires,
but
the
city
hall
is
governed
over,
so
it
has
an
oversight
and
operations
that
is
different
than
Property
Services
and
I
would
look
for
a
council,
okay,
okay,.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Just
going
back
to
the
BT
conversation
a
little
bit
in
the
tax
levy,
I
myself
and
councilman
murkowski
represent
the
Council
on
BT
and
I
would
say
that
every
member
of
the
BET
was
absolutely
concerned
about
the
Levy,
its
impacts
on
communities
across
the
city,
particularly
in
North
Minneapolis,
where,
when
where
we
know,
based
on
analysis,
that
there
will
be
a
extra
burden
and
certainly
I
think
we
can
lower
the
levy
it.
I
I
It
had
been
raised
prior
to
the
meeting,
and
you
know
I
just
think
that
we
have
to
really
try
to
work
together
to
try
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
mitigate
those
those
challenges
that
we
know
our
community
is
going
to
face.
We
tried
to
keep
the
levy
as
low
as
we
possibly
could
recognizing
the
the
challenges
and
the
needs
across
the
city
to
be
able
to
accomplish
that.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
CFO
I
have
a
question
about
the
second
position.
I
think
you
said
you
were
adding
to
the
budget.
The
senior
budget
evaluation
person
is
that
going
to
happen
in
2024
or
do
you
have
funding
for
it
now
and
it's
just
the
the
ask
reflects
what
you'll
need
in
this
biannual
budget.
F
Madam,
chair
council
member
Vita,
it's
a
change
item
to
add
to
the
budget
in
2023.
We
do
not
have
that
position.
Currently.
Okay,.
J
K
H
K
D
Thank
you,
chair
coffee,
I
just
wanted
to
amplify
when
the
common
stat
councilmember
Johnson
raised.
Even
though
we
figured
out
it
was
in
a
wrong
chat.
But
in
regards
to
the
concerns
that
council
member
rainville
raised
around
security
is
knowing
that
that
is
the
option
to
explore.
D
I
think
director
O'brien,
you
mentioned
in
a
closed
session,
but
also
just
wanted
to
highlight
more
so
that
if
those
concerns
are
rooted
in
some
of
the
public
engagement
that
we've
seen
in
our
Chambers
I
will
love
in
that
closed
session
or
whatever
Outreach
for
Council
to
be
made
aware
of
the
ways
in
which
the
public
has
every
right
to
this
space
to
share
their
concerns
and
that
we
should
not
be
moving
towards
any
direction
that
demonizes
public
frustrations
or
concerns,
especially
if
the
decisions
that
we're
making
in
this
body
is
causing
additional
harms
causing
additional
trauma.
D
It's
justifiable
that
in
a
democracy
that,
because
Stitch
ones
will
want
to
hold
us
as
elected
leaders
accountable
and
making
sure
that
whatever
we're
doing
around
security
concerns
is
not
lock
our
residents
out
from
being
able
to
also
exercise
their
first
amendment
rights
and
to
also
hold
us
accountable.
D
So
anything,
it
sounds
like
a
movements
to
make
a
closed
sessions
around
this
to
discuss
that
further,
and
also
to
share
that
information
with
the
public
so
that
they
know
we're
not
taking
any
steps
to
demonize
them
when
they
take
action
or
ostracize
those
things
you
know,
I
think
that
transparency
would
absolutely
be
better
best
as
we're
also
discussing
security
concerns
around
this
particular
building,
which
is
City
Hall.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
We
now
have
council
member
Goodman.
E
E
Concerns
about
security
have
come
up
to
me
as
your
representative
on
the
building
commission,
not
over
the
public
functions
in
this
chamber,
but
about
individual
threats
to
council
members
that
have
been
made
and
their
security,
so
I
would
not
make
the
assumption
that
this
concern
about
security
is
about
what
happens
here,
but
about
how
our
offices
are
handled
and
how
we
have
to
move
from
space
to
space.
While
there
have
been
threats
against
individuals
in
the
room
right
now
and
others.
E
So
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
people
coming
and
executing
their
first
amendment
rights
to
speak.
It
has
to
do
with
people
making
threats
against
individual
council
members
and
staff
to
throw
Molotov
cocktails
into
their
homes
or
hunt
them
down
in
the
offices
and
otherwise
put
them
in
danger.
That's
why
we've
had
these
in
Chambers
trainings
I
was
personally
involved
in
an
assassination
attempt
over
the
summer
at
a
venue
that
did
not
have
good
security.
E
So
anyone
who
wants
to
talk
to
secure
about
security
with
me
I
would
be
happy
to
do
so,
but
I
I'm
not
going
to
look
down
the
line.
Many
of
you
have
talked
to
me
about
security
and
it's
not
about
First
Amendment
rights.
It's
about
their
own
personal
concern
about
protection
in
this
room,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
and
I,
don't
believe,
council,
member
Ryan,
Phil's
question
or
any
whoever
made.
The
question
was
about:
what's
happened
over
the
past
few
days,
but
about
personal
and
individual
threats
that
I
myself
have
also
received.
A
Thank
you,
council
member
wansley,
yeah.
D
I
actually
appreciate
that
councilmember
Goodman
that
you're
stating
the
difference
I
think
it
was
not
very
clear,
especially
you
know,
I
want
to
name
several
of
us
councilmember
pain
as
well
as
councilmember
rainville
and
I
even
experienced
a
bomb
threat
earlier
this
year.
So
we're
very
aware
in
taking
this
role
that,
yes,
not
everyone,
is
going
to
be
on
board
or
see
us
as
allies.
So
I
absolutely
agree
that
we
should
be
taking
steps
to
consider.
How
are
we
ensuring
safety
for
the
members
of
this
body,
especially
in
light
of
January
6?
D
But
I
will
note
too
of
just
thinking
of
this
is
the
first
I'm
hearing
of
this
conversation
in
Ms
dies
that
it
was
not
also
rooted
in
some
of
the
engagement.
That's
been
happening
from
the
public
and
I'm
glad
that
you're
clarifying
that
that
is
not
the
case
and
would
love
to
continue
that
conversation
around.
However,
making
sure
council
members
are
safe
well
again,
ensuring
public
members
are
still
able
to
exercise
their
respective
duties
and
I
think
we're
on
the
same
page
about
that.
A
Thank
you
and
council
member
or
council
president
Jenkins.
I
Thank
you
again,
Madam
chair,
I,
just
want
to
emphasize
that
I
have
been
on
record
since
2018
about
Security
in
this
building
in
this.
In
these
Chambers
and
I
I
have
a
deep
concern
for
our
employees
as
well
as
the
members
of
this
body.
There
there's
hardly
any
government
building
in
the
country
that
you
can
just
walk
into
and
don't
in
fact,
the
two
government
buildings
that
are
abutted
to
us.
We
have
to
go
through
metal
detectors.
I
A
All
right,
thank
you,
so
much
I
don't
see
anyone
else
in
queue.
I
appreciate
you
being
here,
thank
you
to
everyone
on
your
team
for
being
here.
Like
you
said
it,
you
are,
you
know
a
little
bit
behind
the
scenes,
so
it's
really
lovely
to
it's,
for
you
all
to
be
here
with
us
today
and
put
a
face
with
the
name.
So
thank
you
especially
for
some
of
us
new
council
members,
so
very
much
appreciated.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Our
final
presentation
today
is
from
the
health
department
which
is
which
includes
the
youth
Coordinating
Board.
A
Once
she's
completed
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
executive
director,
Ann
degroat
will
also
present
a
few
slides.
So
thank.
L
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Good
morning,
everyone
Madam
chairperson
council
president
Council.
Vice
president
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
us
here
to
talk
about
the
Minneapolis
youth,
Coordinating
Board.
It
is
always
my
pleasure
to
do
so.
I
enjoy
it
very
much
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
organization.
As
you
know,
we
are
joint
Powers
board
and
we
are
comprised
of
the
City
of
Minneapolis
Hennepin
County,
the
Minneapolis
public
school
board
and
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
board.
M
I
appreciate
this
year
from
the
Minneapolis
city
council.
We
have
council
president
Jenkins
and
council
member
Chuck
Tai
as
part
of
our
board,
appreciate
their
participation
and
I.
Think
the
children
of
Minneapolis
do
too
I
want
to
acknowledge
a
couple
of
people
from
the
ycb
who
are
here
with
me
today,
our
accountant,
Jeremy
Tice,
who
is
right
here
in
the
front
row
and
our
MSW
intern
from
Augsburg
University
Karina
Sibley,
who
is
over
there
I
want
to
welcome
them
here
today
too.
So
thank
you
for
having
such
a
good
open
forum
for
everyone.
M
M
It
will
come
to
each
of
the
jurisdictions
for
for
your
agreement
and
then
it
will
come
back
again
to
you,
so
you
will
see
that
come
up
next
year,
but
the
city
council,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
funds,
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
with
for
361
thousand
dollars,
which
I
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
here.
M
We
have
a
few
lines
of
work
that
we
do.
We
work
in
the
early
childhood
area
and
by
the
way
we
work
prenatal
through
24,
as
kind
of
our
age
range,
is
what
we
consider
children
and
young
people.
We
work
in
the
area
of
Early
Childhood,
primarily
in
family
friend
and
Neighbor
Care,
and
some
estimates
in
Minneapolis
tell
us
that
up
to
70
percent
of
our
young
children
under
age
five
receive
summer
all
of
their
child
care
by
family
friend
and
Neighbors,
normally
that
person's
called
grandma,
sometimes
they're
aunts,
sometimes
they're
Neighbors.
M
M
But
we
are
also
working
with
funds
from
the
state
on
a
preschool
development
grant
that
will
help
to
create
a
hub
for
for
child
care
providers
as
well,
so
we're
working
with
parents
and
providers
to
make
sure
that
the
parents
and
providers
with
young
children
have
what
they
need
to
provide
for
these
little
for
our
little
ones,
our
littlest
citizens.
M
We
also
work
in
the
area
of
after
school
Minneapolis
after
school
network.
We
work
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
children
and
young
people
have
opportunities
outside
of
the
classroom.
These
opportunities
help
keep
them
safe.
These
opportunities
help
working
parents.
These
opportunities
give
these
children
and
young
people
skills
that
they
do
not
get
other
places
and
it
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
socialize
with
other
children
in
their
own
age
and
to
work
outside
of
the
classroom.
M
We
work
also
with
the
Minneapolis
youth
congress.
This
is
a
premier
program
of
ours.
Most
of
our
work
is
systems
work.
We
work
to
improve
the
systems
in
Minneapolis
in
a
Hennepin,
County
School
of
parks,
but
the
Minneapolis
youth
congress
is
a
group
of
young
people,
grades
8-12,
who
work
with
us
and
with
you
they
work
with
a
lot
of
your
departments,
in
fact
the
health
department.
They
work
with
quite
a
bit
to
help
make
sure
that
the
perspectives
of
young
people
are
present
in
the
work
that
we
do.
M
You
can
see
it
all
over
the
youth
master
plan,
which
I
hope
you
look
at
it's
on
our
website.
They
really
really
deep
into
the
youth
master
plan.
If
it
had
just
been
our
staff,
you
would
not
see
the
depth
that
you
see
in
the
youth
master
plan,
but
our
young
people
come
in.
We
pay
them.
We
train
train
them,
we
feed
them.
We
make
sure
they
get
to
and
fro
without
damage
to
them
and
we
work
with
them
throughout
the
year
and
we
make
sure
that
we
live
by
their
motto.
M
No
decision
about
us
without
us
they're,
a
very
important
program
to
us
and
the
money
that
you
give
us,
helps
support
the
youth,
the
Minneapolis
youth
congress.
M
We
just
received
funding
as
a
matter
of
fact,
from
the
form
for
youth
investment
to
develop
a
manual
about
youth
engagement
and
because
we
get
calls
from
all
over
the
country.
How
do
you
bring
young
people
together
to
do
what
you
do
so
we
decided
Well.
We
should
write
something,
so
we
don't
have
to
keep
answering
these
phone
calls
because
it's
hard
to
say
in
a
short
phone
call
what
this
is.
So
we're
writing
a
manual
right
now
about
that.
M
M
This
summer
we
rented
space
from
the
YMCA,
so
young
people
could
come
some
some
water
to
drink
some
food
to
eat,
plug
in
their
phones
group
meet
with
each
other.
We
do
a
little
bit
more
programming
with
young
people
downtown.
We
help
connect
them
to
things
going
on
downtown.
We
do
basketball
downtown.
M
We
do
a
book
group,
we
do
a
variety
of
other
things,
but
we
find
ways
for
young
people
who
are
downtown
to
be
safe
and
to
be
with
each
other.
So
we
do
that
in
the
summer
time
we
do
it
at
Henry
high
school.
During
the
school
year
we
have
just
finished
a
youth
engagement,
Outreach
manual,
funded
by
the
form
free
of
investment.
It's
on
our
website
and
the
school
district
just
reached
out
to
us
and
said:
can
you
come
and
train
all
the
Outreach
teams
that
come
through
our
high
schools?
M
We
want
you
to
do
our
training
and
so
we're
moving
kind
of
into
the
position
of
doing
more
training.
So
we
think
we
have
a
good
way
of
working
with
young
people,
and
so
that's
where
we're
going
with
youth
Outreach
and
finally,
I
mentioned
our
youth
master
plan,
which
is
a
plan
not
just
for
the
ycb,
but
it's
for
the
whole
city.
What
are
the
priorities
and
what
are
the
recommendations
so
we're
very
proud
of
our
youth
master
plan.
M
Here
are
some
of
the
numbers
to
look
at
about
our
work.
These
are
from
2019,
but
we
just
ran
some
numbers
from
2021
and
in
terms
of
the
Community
Ed,
the
libraries
and
the
parks.
The
numbers
aren't
very
different
from
2021
and
2019.
they're.
M
Basically,
the
same
numbers,
20
20
things
dipped
a
little
because
we
were
all
at
home
but
2021
they
started
to
come
up
again
and
I
would
have
to
say
to
you
that
part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
that
youth
work
professionals
across
the
city
under
the
coordination
of
the
youth,
Coordinating
Board,
got
together
and
said.
How
can
we
all
make
sure
that
our
young
people
have
access
to
doing
things
together
outside
of
their
homes
and
outside
of
schools?
M
So
they
really
work
together
to
find
ways
to
bring
young
people
together,
so
our
numbers
went
up
again
in
2021
and
they're
going
up
again
now,
funding
from
the
City
of
Minneapolis
pays
for
those
we
grant
money
to
Community
Education
to
the
Minneapolis
teen
tech
centers
at
the
library
and
to
Minneapolis
parks
to
ensure
that
our
young
people
have
activities
those
young
people
who
can't
afford
to
pay
and
who
need
activities
in
their
neighborhoods.
So
those
things
continue
to
happen
and
I
talked
about
the
youth
congress
and
the
Outreach
team.
M
The
Minneapolis
city
council
allotted
us
a
million
dollars
to
re-grant
to
after
school
programs
a
couple
of
years
ago
through
arpa
funds.
We
did
that
we
did
it
I
thought
we
did
a
great
process.
We
re-granted
that
million
dollars.
You
can
see
where
we
re-granted
it
to.
M
We
had
particular
focus
on
programs
that
affected
youth
of
color
particular
focus
on
programs
that
that
really
were
going
to
be
able
to
work
long
term
in
communities
with
kids
of
color
and
with
kids
in
neighborhoods,
where
there
were
not
a
lot
of
access
to
activities,
you
can
see
what
we
did
with
these
are
three-year
grants
that
we
were
able
to
make.
M
So
those
are
those
constituted
a
three-year
Grant
and
then
because,
as
a
result
of
the
work
that
we
did,
the
Minneapolis
public
schools
said:
could
you
re-grant
some
money
through
our
Esser
dollars,
which
is
their
version
of
arpa,
and
so
we
did
that
we
we
used
the
same.
We
had
we,
we
saw
several
organizations,
so
we
used
some
of
that
money
and
re-granted
it
yeah.
So
you
can
see
that
right
there.
That's
that's
what
we
did.
What
I'm
proud
of
are
a
couple
of
things.
M
One
is
that
we
did
a
really
good
process,
but
we
involved
our
youth
congress
in
making
those
decisions
they
were
involved
in
site
visits.
They
were
involved
in
guidelines.
They
were
involved
in
the
decision
making.
So
that's
what
we
did
with
our
with
the
arpa
funds
that
the
city
council
allotted
to
us
and
that
money
is
being
used
very
wisely,
very
well,
I.
Think
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
end
there,
because
I
I
am
interested.
If
you
have
any
questions
and
happy
to
answer
them.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
Mr
Groot
and
I'm.
Just
curious.
Do
you
know
what
types
of
programs
some
of
the
the
grantees
are
offering
young
people
through
those
offer
funds.
M
I
do
Asian.
Media
access
is
doing
something
really
interesting,
which
is
they
are
working
with
young
girls,
they're,
actually
creating
jobs
in
which
they're
bringing
young
people
together
to
do
some
programming
around
identity
in
different
in
the
different
Asian
communities
and
they're
hiring
young
people
to
do
some
of
that
work.
The
American
Indian
Center
is
continuing.
M
Some
of
their
really
great
program
work
that
they've
done
for
very
many
years
with
young
American
Indian
people,
young
people,
in
terms
of
ensuring
that
they
have
programs
and
activities
that
help
to
keep
them
in
school
magazine
is
doing
work,
as
is
the
division
of
Indian
Works.
Division
of
Indian
works
is
doing
their
their
freedom
schools
every
summer
for
the
next
three
years.
That's
what
their
funding
amigosity
is
also
doing
work
to
ensure
that
young
people-
and
this
is
minneapolis-specific-
are
staying
in
school
as
well.
M
N
Thank
you,
chairkovsky
and
thank
you
director
for
this
presentation
and
for
all
the
work
that
you
and
your
staff
do
to
support
our
young
people
here
in
Minneapolis,
as
I'm
looking
through
the
arpa
funds,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
amazing
organizations
that
we
have
been
able
to
support
through
this
work.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
a
little
bit
as
I'm
looking
through
it.
N
Is
there
any
future
opportunities
or
in
this
upcoming
budget
that
the
council
will
be
voting
on
specifically,
where,
like
we
can
reach
out
to
Latino
youth
I,
know,
that's
a
big
important
Community
here
in
Minneapolis
and
as
I
looked
at
the
arpa
budget,
I,
don't
really
see
the
Latino
Community
really
reflected
on
that
component
and
I
think
that
if
future
opportunities
arise,
I
think
it's
a
population
that
we
should
and
I
would
be
happy
to
help
to
connect
and
reach
out
to
to
make
sure
that
young
people
in
Minneapolis
have
that
opportunity.
N
So
just
want
to
point
out
that
Latinos
do
make
a
big
young
Latinos
do
make
a
big
population
in
Minneapolis
and
I
I.
Think
if
there's
after-school
programming
to
help,
you
know
divert
a
lot
of
the
situations
that
are
arising
specifically
in
my
ward
and
across
Minneapolis.
I.
Think
it
would
be
very
helpful,
but.
M
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
Councilmember.
We
would
love
that
we
received
47
proposals
for
one
million
dollars
it
totaled
about
it,
totaled
about
19
million
dollars,
there's
a
need,
and
what
we
know
is
that
we
we've
done
some
studies
about
how
what
is
the
gap
it's
huge.
M
So
the
question
and
I
am
appreciative
of
commissioner
Richie
in
particular,
who
has
raised
yet
again
and
she's
done
a
great
job
of
raising
this
with
the
number
of
our
colleagues
in
the
city
about
how
are
we
going
to
get
more
money
into
this
after
school
world?
And
so
we
will
look
forward
to
talking
more
with
you
about
that.
N
And
I
will
be
reaching
out
in
regards
to
how
my
office
can
help
support
in
this
upcoming
budget.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
and
your
team
for
doing
the
amazing
work
and
very
appreciative
of
the
work
we
do
for
young
people
and
we
need
to
be
putting
more
money
into
these
programs
to
support
young
people
in
Minneapolis,
but
I'll
reach
out.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
not
seeing
any
further
questions
from
my
colleagues.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mr
group
for
being
here,
I
appreciate
it.
It's
always
wonderful
to
hear
from
what
work
you're
doing
for
our
youth
so
appreciate
that
and
the
connections
that
you're
making.
So
thank
you
so
much
you're.

L
L
Our
vision
is
a
holistically,
healthy
life
for
our
neighbors.
We
know
that
Healthcare
access
is
not
Equitable,
but
we
are
actively
working
to
change
that
and
ensure
access
to
resources
and
services,
an
environment
free
from
toxins
and
discrimination,
and
a
public
health
community
community
that
is
physically
and
mentally
well
and
resilient.
L
Our
organizational
chart
reflects
the
transition
that
we
are
currently
undergoing.
While
we
have
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
transitioning
to
the
office
of
community
safety.
As
the
new
Department
of
neighborhood
safety,
we
are
transitioning
our
sustainability
program,
which
will
be
nestled
under
the
environmental
programs
division.
L
L
The
operations
and
business
Improvement
division
focuses
on
core
infrastructure
and
provides
a
solid
foundation
from
which
department,
teams
and
staff
can
deliver.
Quality
services
establish
meaningful
Partnerships
and
ensure
the
health
and
safety
of
all
those
who
live,
work
and
play
in
Minneapolis.
L
The
Healthy
Living
initiative
focuses
on
populations
with
the
highest
rates
and
risks
of
chronic
diseases
that
are
caused
by
the
lack
of
healthy
foods
and
beverages,
physical
inactivity
and
the
availability
of
commercial
tobacco
products
and
second-hand
smoke
exposure
in
2022
we
funded
30
Community
Partners.
14
of
them
knew
to
support
Community,
Health
and
well-being
initiatives.
L
L
The
pandemic
in
civil
unrest
laid
bare
the
severity
of
food
insecurity
in
our
community
schools
and
restaurants,
closed
grocery
stores,
burned
down
or
were
looted
and
Supply
chains
dried
up.
As
a
result,
homegrown
Minneapolis
responded
by
broadening
their
focus
to
include
addressing
food
insecurity
with
ARP
Phase
One
funds.
13
projects
were
funded
and
served
over
100
000
people
phase.
Two
allocations
are
being
finalized
for
an
additional
eight
projects
set
to
begin
at
the
end
of
this
year.
L
Students
return
to
in-person

year.
However,
there
were
multiple

The

has
increased

provide
much
needed
stability

we
still
aren't

such
as

and
over
1.2
million
in

L
Our
customer
service
surveys
of
food
businesses
show
that
over
90
percent
of

were
very
satisfied

is
Outreach
to

L
Sustainability
might
be
brand
new
to
the
Minneapolis
Health
Department,
but
the
department
has
long
worked
to
address
climate
change
and
environmental
justice
with
this
transition.
Mhd
and
sustainability
hope
to
elevate
Citywide

L
L
There
are
currently
over
3
000
children
in
our
school
system
who
have
experienced
lead,
poisoning.
The
lead
and
healthy
homes
program
is
working
towards
that
goal
of
zero-led
poisonings,
and
we
are
doing
this
through
a
mandated
response
by
Property
Owners,
robust
housing
investments,
an
inspection
collaboration
with
regulatory
services
and
proactive
inspections.
L
L
L
The
emergency
preparedness
and
response
program
is
entirely
Grant
funded.
The
2022
and
23
numbers
include
copied
response
funds
allocated
by
the
United
States
Congress.
We
do
not
anticipate
that
Congress
will
allocate
any
additional
covid
response
funds.
A
recent

have
included

Improving
the

goal
for
the

is
often
used
as
a
metric
to
determine
public
positive
outcomes.
Throughout
the
life
cycle
we
received

from
Seven,

L
The
city's
response
to
the
opioid
epidemic
has
been
Guided
by
the
recommendations
of
the
mayor's
multi-jurisdictional

force.

force
had
four
subgroups
prevention,
Community
Systems
integration,

with
the
rest
coming
from

L
L
The
Minneapolis
Health
Department
is
the
lead
strategist
for

foreign
we're
also
working

we
are
looking
to
the
state

County
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
collaborative

supplemental
to
the
monies
that
they're
getting
rather
than
being
too
duplicative.
L
Change
item
number
five
is
our
last

in
direct
response
to
the
Dodd's
decision
that
overturned
Roe
versus
Wade.
The
department
is
working
with
the
city
attorney's
office
and
finance
to
develop
a
plan
that
fits
the
parameters
of
state
and
local
laws.
L
A
O
Thank
you,
chair
Koski,
and
thank
you
director,
Ritchie
I,
just
wanted
to
say,
I'm,
really
appreciative
of
the
collaboration
that
you've
brought
to
this
subject
and
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
directors,
Hanlon
and
director
Rick
worth
for
working
through
a
lot
of
issues
with
my
office.
My
question
is
about
the
food
action
plan
and
I'm
curious
as
to
whether
or
not
there
will
be
some
policy
recommendations
embedded
in
that,
particularly
around
potential
ordinance
changes
I.
O
My
office
is
really
excited
about
expanding
the
opportunity
for
more
urban
Agriculture
and
I
know
that
there
are
some
ordinances
on
the
books
that
are
somewhat
of
a
barrier
for
some
of
those
activities,
and
I
was
just
curious
as
to
how
thorough
some
of
the
policy
recommendations
might.
We
can
anticipate
coming
from
that.
Thank.
P
Okay,
thank
you
chairkoski
and
members
of
the
committee
and
council
member
Payne,
I'm,
Patty,
bowler
and
director
of
policy
and
healthy
communities
and
I
oversee
homegrown,
and
this
is
such
an
interesting
question
because
our
food
Council
met
last
night
and
we're
really
wrestling
with
that
issue,
because
we
want
the
plan
to
be
an
act.
You
know
both
a
vision
for
how
our
food
system
gets
changed,
but
then
also
to
think
about
put
forward
some
ideas
for
policy
recommendations.
P
So
I
don't
have
a
definitive
answer
for
you
at
this
point
because,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
wrestling
with
how
we
go
about
that
issue,
we
do
know
that
there
are
some
actionable
items
that
your
that
you
and
I
are
probably
thinking
of
that
we
could
put
forward
to
improve.
You
know
our
food
system
in
in
growing
Etc
in
our
in
our
city,
so
the
food
right
now
the
the
document
is
kind
of.
P
A
Thank
you
appreciate
that
now
I
have
council
member
Chavez
here.
N
Richie
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
this
presentation:
I'm,
proud
of
the
work
being
done
with
our
environmental
programs,
proud
of
the
work
doing
with
our
school-based
clinics
and
probably
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
address
the
opioid
crisis.
So
just
thank
you
to
you,
the
directors,
our
staff
here
that
are
working
really
hard
on
this.
N
As
you
know,
the
or
epicenter
of
the
opioid
crisis
is
centered
in
my
ward
in
the
East
Phillips
neighborhood,
where
too
many
lives
have
been
lost
over
the
past
few
years,
and
even
this
year
across
all
over
our
city,
but
I
know
it's
impacting
a
lot
of
my
residents
and
I'm
looking
at
the
data
and
been
very
happy
to
see
that
your
department
has
been
able
to
train
a
lot
of
folks
on
the
use
of
Narcan,
the
distribution
of
it
and,
in
fact,
I
know
me
and
you're
gonna
be
working
closely
to
do.
N
N
L
Council,
member
Chavez
members
of
committee
we
have
in
the
budget
and
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
funded
through
the
general
fund,
I
think
it's
probably
funded
through
Grant
funds.
We
contract
with
a
number
of
community
organizations
and
we
provide
that
fentanyl
testing
strip
service
through
that.
So
there's
nothing
added
on
currently,
but
we
do
already
have
that
in
place.
Perfect.
N
L
L
Oh
council,
member
Koski,
council
member
Chavez
members
committee,
maybe
I'll,
ask
Suzanne
to
come
up
and
address
this
okay,
so
the
service
providers
do
provide
the
training
along
with
the
testing
strips
and,
of
course
they
do
the
Narcan
training,
Administration
and
distribution
as
well.
D
I
have
more
of
a
comment,
but
also
somewhat
council.
Member
Payne
actually
took
the
question
that
was
wanting
with
Patty
I
know
several
of
us
have
the
opportunity
to
visit
or
do
a
tour
of
some
of
the
the
gardens
that
we
have
under
our
homegrown
initiative
and
I
would
encourage
before
it
gets
super
cold
and
like
the
ground
freezes
like
council
members,
you
all
should
check
it
out.
They
provided
us
like
this
great
tea.
I
mean
you
can
have
some
really
good
tea
from
one
of
our
Gardens.
D
That
should
be
a
selling
point
by
itself,
but
one
of
the
things
that
was
raised
during
that
tour
was
around
some
of
the
restrictions
around
hoop
houses.
I
know
as
part
of
like
a
current
barrier
and
I
think
we
have
an
ordinance
or
a
policy
that
limits
the
deployment
of
those
hoop
houses
for
a
certain
period
of
time.
So
have
that
question
of
like?
Is
there
anything
that
we
can
do
in
the
intermediate
around
like
policies,
and
it
seems
like
that's
currently
in
the
works,
because
I
think
that's.
D
We
also
got
to
do
a
tour
I
think
with
some
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
members
to
our
school-based
clinics,
and
that
was
just
inspiring
in
itself
to
see
you
know
our
students
receive
just
this
holistic
care
right
in
their
schools
and
I'm
really
glad
that
the
city
is
a
partner
to
that.
D
I'm
also
super
excited
about
this
abortion
access
fund,
I,
know,
council,
member
Chuck,
Tai
and
I
have
worked
with
a
number
of
our
abortion
access
Advocates
to
really
ensure
that
the
city
is
meeting
the
need
and
meeting
the
moment
right
now,
I'm
really
excited
to
talk
more
with
you
all
and
those
Advocates
of
how
we're
making
sure
we're
Distributing
those
funds
to
the
groups
into
residence
is
who
will
be
in
need
of
them
and
then
also
sustainability.
D
Super
excited
to
work
with
mayor
mayor,
Hampton,
I
can't
call
you
mayor
now,
they're
handling
around
also
just
the
implementation
of
P
card.
Now
I'm
really
excited
of
how
we're
also
addressing
the
cost
of
of
carbon
and
also
using
that
as
a
way
to
bring
in
Revenue
into
our
city
and,
addressing
just
you
know,
corporate
pollutants.
D
That's
not
helping
with
you
know,
maintaining
clean
air
for,
like
our
residents
in
our
city,
so
I'm
just
really
excited
about
the
work,
that's
being
led
by
this
department
and
know
that
many
of
us
have
been
able
to
witness
it
through
Tours
and
also
are
working
actively
with
your
departments
to
meet.
So
many
of
these,
like
various
you
know,
Health
needs
in
our
community,
so
I
just
wanted
to
amplify
that.
L
Councilmember
wansley,
thank
you
so
much
that
that
I
mean
the
team
has
really
been
doing
amazing
work
and
if
anybody
ever
wants
a
tour
of
a
school-based
clinic
or
a
community
garden
site,
that's
definitely
something
that
we
not
only
are
able
to
do,
but
they
really
enjoy
that.
So
that's
always
on
the
table.
L
I
know
I
wanted
to
just
go
back
to
hoop
houses
really
quickly
because
I
know
part
of
that
is
a
zoning
issue,
and
we
have
been
working
with
zoning
to
try
and
work
out
some
of
those
issues
to
make
sure
that
some
of
those
places
that
are
in
existence
can
continue
to
operate
in
compliance
or
at
least
working
toward
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Next,
we
have
council
member
Vita
thank.
J
You
chair
Koski,
thank
you,
commissioner,
for
the
presentation
and
I
just
want
to
first
start
by
saying.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
great
work
that
you're
doing
and
the
entire
Health
Department
is
doing.
You
know
you
are
my
people
over
there
in
the
health
department
I
it's
a
privilege
to
serve
as
the
chair
of
public
health
and
safety.
J
Half
of
that
is
because
you
all
do
such
a
great
job
for
our
city
for
our
city,
for
everyone
in
our
city
when
it
comes
to
Public,
Health,
I
I
was
so
excited
to
chair
that
committee
to
work
with
a
lot
of
you
who,
whom
I've
known
for
many
many
years
and
know
how
passionate
and
how
brilliant
you
are
about
public
health.
So,
thank
you
all.
So,
thank
you,
Patty.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all.
So
so
very
much.
My
question
is
about
the
school-based
clinics.
J
L
Chairkovski
council,
member
of
Utah,
the
so
yes,
the
staff
that
are
there
now
are
funded
through
an
mdh
Grant.
That's
going
to
be
ending
and
that's
why
you
see
the
two
different
years.
The
two
different
numbers
for
the
different
years,
which.
L
It's
a
Workforce
Grant,
okay
yeah
for
mdh,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
ending
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
keep
these
employees
and
so
we're
shifting
them
onto
the
general
fund.
They
primarily
stay
in
one
school
and
I
think.
Are
they
a
Patrick
Henry
yeah
come
on
up.
P
So
chairkoski
and
council
member
Vita,
so
they
yes
they're,
they're,
primarily
assigned
to
one
school.
They
do
a
little
bit
of
Shifting
I,
can't
tell
you
exactly
which
school
they're
in
now
I
know.
One
of
them
is
at
our
new
wellstone
Fair
site,
which
is
a
alternative
school.
That's
also
run
by
MPS.
P
So
yes,
that's
and
and
as
Heidi
mentioned
they're
currently
on
an
mdh
Grant,
which
is
going
to
end
in
June
of
2023.
So
that's
where
we
want
to
you
know,
continue
their
good
work,
they're
all
by
pox
staff,
so
that
they
can
relate
to
the
60
of
MPS
students
who
are
bipoc
and
they're,
providing
that
Integrated
Health
model.
That
Heidi
also
mentioned
yeah.
J
Thank
you
for
that.
I,
along
with
council
member
wansley,
visited
Patrick
Henry
High
School
earlier
this
year.
It's
extremely
impressive
and
the
reason
why
I
asked
the
question
is
because
the
setup
they
have
there
is
unique
right
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
that
was
also
the
case
in
other
public
schools,
I
mean
that
they
can
see
a
mental
health
provider
and
have
a
shot
and
have
you
know,
Medical
Care
in
the
same
place
with
privacy
with
the
ability
to
you
know,
feel
comfortable
and
safe.
J
P
Chair
Koski
and
council,
member
Vita
and
members
of
the
committee,
all
of
our
clinics
offer
they're
they're
set
up
the
same
way
and
they
offer
that
integrated
level
of
care.
In
addition,
they
offer
health
education,
so
we
have
staff
that
go
into
the
classroom
and
provide
education
on
a
whole
range
of
topics
that
the
health
department
is
also
promoting
through
other
means.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
O
You
know
we
passed
the
ordinance
to
transition
folks
from
solvent-based,
auto
body
paint
to
water-based
paint
and
I,
see
the
green
cost
share
program
as
being
like
the
really
critical
piece
to
that
being
a
meaningful
policy
and
I
really
see
the
potential
of
this
being
a
model
for
us
making
kind
of
larger
transitions
towards
you
know
more
climate
aware
policy
and
I
was
just
curious
around.
O
You
know
the
need.
You
know
the
eligibility
requirements.
How
do
we
make
this
a
more
expensive
program?
And
you
know
what
are
the
biggest
barriers
to
that?
Is
it
simply
a
dollar
amount
or
you
know,
do
we
need
to
do
more
Outreach
with
folks
so
that
they
even
know
that
the
program
exists?
I
just
I
think
that
I'd
love
to
double
triple
this
dollar
personally.
L
C
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Chairkovski
council
members,
councilmember
Payne.
Yes,
this
money
is,
will
be
very
helpful
in
working
with
the
automotive
sector.
I
think
we
we
Road,
tested
the
success
of
this
program
with
dry
cleaning
and
now
we're
moving
into
Auto
Body.
We
are
working
with
people.
I
love
this
program
because
we're
allowed
to
work
with
people
to
help
them
overcome
their
challenges,
so
working
with
small
businesses,
working
with
property
owners
and
really
overcoming
the
financial
challenges
that
people
have
and
it's
it
is
a
mixed
bag.
C
C
You
know
in
the
case
that
you
brought
up
with
the
automotive
sector,
working
with
energy
experts
on
the
climate
side,
working
with
solar
developers
and
then
also
ensuring
that
everything
that
we
do
with
the
program
is
equity
first
and
so
investing
that
into
the
green
zones
first
and
having
higher
priority,
having
higher
caps
having
higher
percentage
matches
and
having
higher
priorities.
So
we
send
all
of
our
projects
out
to
a
third
party
that
analyzes
all
of
the
projects
and
it's
all
weighted
heavy
on
Equity.
First,
so,
that's
not
to
say
it
isn't
available.
C
It
is
available
across
the
entire
city,
but
its
focus
in
equity
and
we've
really
seen
positive
results
out
of
that.
There's
a
there's,
a
White
House
justice,
40
standard
of
for
having
40
percent
of
your
Investments
going
into
Equity.
We
exceed
that
standard.
With
with
this
program
we
are
over
half
the
projects
are
in
meet
our
environmental
justice
standards
and
over
60
percent
of
the
funding
goes
into
environmental
justice
projects.
C
So
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
grow
this
program,
and
you
know
that
this
isn't
a
budget
ask
but
I
think
looking
for
going
forward
and
how
we
can
look
at
some
of
the
different
policy
tools
that
we
have
in
our
tool
belt
to
look
at
ways
going
forward
in
future
years
that
we
can
expand
the
program.
I
think
those
opportunities
are
definitely
there.
Thank
you
for
the
time.
A
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
council
member
rainville.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
commissioner,
I'm
very
impressed
with
their
school-based
Clinic
program.
What
a
wonderful
job
that
you're
doing
there
such
a
service
to
the
Youth
of
our
community,
but
I,
am
curious.
Does
the
school
board
do
they
contribute
financially
to
that?
Does
the
county
contribute
to
that
program
at
all.
L
Oh
excuse
me
chair
Koski,
councilman
marianville,
that's
a
really
great
question
and
I.
Don't
know
the
answer
to
that
so
I'm
going
to
ask
Patty
if
she
knows
the
answer
to
that
I,
don't
think
they
do,
but
I'd
rather
just
have
a
confirmed
answer.
Yes,.
P
So
chairkoski
and
council,
member
rainville
and
members
of
the
committee,
we
receive
a
little
bit
of
funding
from
the
school
district,
primarily
for
mental
health
services,
but
we
have
10
funding
streams
that
go
into
the
school-based
clinics
and
so
we're
constantly
scrapping
for
money.
That's
probably
a
good
term
to
use.
But
we
don't.
You
know
we
receive
infrastructure,
support
from
the
school
district
in
terms
of
equipment
and
also
space
and
collaboration
from
the
district
and
then
just
a
little
bit
of
funding
for
mental
health
services.
If
that
answers
your
question.
G
P
Yes,
so
Hennepin
County
is
currently
providing
Grant
funds
to
us
and
so
oftentimes
we
are
written
into
grants
that
Hennepin
County
seeks,
and
so
yes
and
I
I
can't
give
you
the
exact
figure,
but
yes,
they
do
provide
funding.
Thank
you
sure.
Thank
you.
N
Chair
Koski,
commissioner
Richie,
my
last
question,
I
promise
I
know
based
on
the
presentation,
I
think
between
January
to
September
I,
think
you
helped
contract
five
needle
sweeps
in
Minneapolis,
which
I
know
one
of
those
was
in
28th
and
Bloomington,
which
my
constituents
very
much
appreciated
when
that
happened.
So
thank
you
for
that
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
where
in
the
budget
or
if
you
can
maybe
answer
this
question,
how
much
money
I
set
aside
in
this
budget.
N
I'm
pretty
sure
a
lot
of
positions
here
in
Minneapolis
that
have
these
needles
on
the
ground
and
I
think
that's
really
important
and
we
need
more
money
and
would
be
happy
to
work
with
your
office
on
figuring
out.
What
is
a
good
amount
of
money
that
your
department
can
handle
to
address?
Some
of
these
needles
that
are
all
over
our
neighborhood
so.
L
Thank
you,
chairkovski
council,
member,
Chavez,
I
believe
our
contract
with
our
vendors.
A
hundred
thousand
dollars
definitely
could
scale
that
up
but
again,
resources
are
the
issue.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
with
the
opioid
settlement
is
really
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
community
needs
and
how
we
can
engage
and
how
we
can
best
spend
that
money.
It's
kind
of
a
odd
funding
source
where
we're
getting
payments,
we're
not
sure
when
we're
going
to
get
them.
L
We
are
supposed
to
have
received
two
payments
by
the
end
of
the
year,
possibly
up
to
five
so
and
then
sometimes
we'll
get
a
payment.
That'll
be
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
sometimes
we'll
get
a
payment.
That'll
be
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
so
really
trying
to
understand
and
plan
deliberately
and
strategically
around
that
and
make
sure
again,
like
I
mentioned
in
the
presentation
that
we're
working
with
our
other
partners
that
are
receiving
some
of
this
funding
in
order
to
be
supplemental
and
complementary
versus
duplicative.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
stay
over
these
past
two
and
a
half
years.
The
help
department
has
probably
become
one
of
our
most
critical
departments
in
the
city
dealing
with
the
global
pandemic,
as
well
as
trying
to
help
address
some
of
our
public
safety
concerns,
as
well
with
the
Advent
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
Etc,
I'm
curious.
If
you
can
give
my
colleagues
and
the
public
a
brief
update
on
the
the
work
around
racism
as
a
public
health,
Crisis
Death.
L
Definitely
chair
Koski
council,
president
Jenkins
and
members
of
the
committee
I
anticipated
this
question
would
come
up
and
so
I
actually
have
a
pretty
extensive
update
that
I
can
email
to
folks
but
I'll.
Just
let
you
know
that
right
now
our
Health
Equity
manager
is
working
with
the
division
of
race,
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging.
L
I
Thank
you
I
think
this
is.
This
is
going
to
be
a
critical
part
to
helping
the
city
deal
with
some
of
the
inequities
in
our
community,
particularly
around
physical
health,
but
also
mental
health
as
well
as
you
know,
economic
health,
etc,
etc.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
us.
A
Thank
you,
I'm,
not
seeing
any
further
questions
from
my
colleagues,
so
thank
you,
commissioner,
Richie
for
being
here.
Thank
you
to
the
team.
As
new
council
members
too
I
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
virtual
meetings,
but
not
everybody
is
always
in
person.
So
this
is
really
wonderful
for
you
to
be
here
today.
So
thank.
A
All
right
at
this
point
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
those
presentations.
Our
next
budget
committee
meeting
is
scheduled
for
Monday
October
24th
at
1.
30
that
day
we
are
set
to
hear
from
Human
Resources,
I.T
and
Regulatory
services,
with
that
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee
today
and
without
objection.
I
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
