A
Foreign
good
morning,
my
name
is
Emily
Koski
and
I'm.
The
chair
of
the
budget
committee
I'm,
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
committee
meeting
on
Thursday
November
10th
I
am
joined
at
the
diocese
with
my
colleagues.
We
have
councilmember
rainville
councilmember
Goodman
councilmember,
vice
president
Paul
massano
and
consumero
Chavez
colleagues.
Today's
meeting
is
the
first
of
three
formal
hearings
to
invite
the
public
to
share
with
us
their
ideas,
concerns
and
suggestions
about
the
mayor's
recommended.
A
2023
and
2024
budgets
we'll
be
conducting
two
additional
public
hearings
as
in
Prior
years,
and
those
have
been
noticed
to
the
public
and
included
on
the
council's
published
calendar.
The
next
public
hearing
will
be
next
Tuesday
November
15th,
beginning
at
605
pm.
The
third
and
final
public
hearing
will
be
on
Wednesday
December
6th
at
605
PM.
That
is
the
truth
in
taxation
hearing
that
is
required
by
state
law.
These
hearings
will
be
held
at
adjourned
meetings
of
the
full
city
council
and
not
at
this
committee.
A
We
anticipate
that
the
full
Council
will
take
final
action
on
the
proposed
2022
budget,
following
its
public
hearing
on
December
6th
before
I
open
up
the
public
hearing.
I
will
invite
our
budget
director
Emilia
coover
to
give
a
short
overview
presentation
to
frame
our
public
hearing.
Miss
groover
welcome.
B
Presentation
to
ground
Us
in
the
work
that
we're
here
to
do
today,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
budget
process
where
we
are
in
it
and
a
short
overview
of
the
city
spending
and
revenues
that
are
included
in
the
mayor's
recommended
budget.
B
So,
from
a
big
picture
point
of
view,
the
budget
and
the
budget
documents
that
we
produce
at
the
city
for
for
residents
and
policy
makers
includes
three
big
pieces.
The
first
is
a
description
of
the
services
and
the
outcomes
provided
to
Residents
in
the
city,
and
that
is
in
the
program
narratives
that
you'll
see
when
you're
looking
in
the
budget
book
that
describes
the
different
activities
and
services
that
different
departments
provide
the
cost
of
them
and
then
the
outcomes
that
they
receive.
The
second
big
chunk
is
transparency
when
we
are
making
changes
to
that
budget.
B
So
the
mayor
will
recommend
some
changes.
Council
will
make
amendments.
Each
of
those
will
be
documented
in
what
we
are
calling
change
items
in
the
budget
book.
So
that
is
where
you
will
look
to
see.
Where
are
we
making
changes
and
how
we're
spending
money
at
the
city?
And
then
the
last
piece
is
our
our
planning.
We
put
together
a
five-year
Financial
projection.
That
shows
where
we
expect
our
revenues
and
spending
to
go
over
that
five-year
time
Horizon,
and
that
is
the
five-year
Financial
Direction.
B
So
next
I
want
to
talk
about
the
process
and
where
we
are
today,
we
start
the
budget
process
in
January
two
short
months,
and
we
start
by
putting
together
what
we
call
the
current
service
level,
which
is
the
base
budget.
So
we
take
all
of
the
people
and
the
programs
that
are
approved
by
the
council
and
signed
by
the
mayor
from
the
last
year
and
we
push
them
forward
into
the
next
year
and
price
them
out
accordingly,
including
some
amount
of
inflation
departments.
B
Then
prioritize
the
use
of
funds
in
their
budget
and
they
put
together
recommended
changes.
So
where
are
they
asking
for
additional
funds?
Where
are
they
maybe
moving
funds
around
within
their
budgets
over
the
summer?
In
June
and
July?
The
mayor
will
make
decisions
on
what
he
is
going
to
recommend
to
the
council
on
August
15th.
B
The
mayor
releases
his
recommended
budget
later
in
September,
usually
last
week
in
September,
our
Board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
will,
after
taking
a
look
at
the
mayor's
recommended
budget,
they
will
approve
the
maximum
Levy
to
be
to
be
levied
in
Minneapolis,
and
so
council
members
and
policy
makers
can
take
action
to
lower
the
amount
of
Revenue
that
we
pull
in
through
the
levy.
But
the
bet
at
the
end
of
September
sets
the
maximum
the
ceiling
on
the
amount
of
property
tax
revenue
foreign.
B
B
So
this
is
the
first
of
three
public
hearings:
Justice
chairkovsky,
just
mentioned
after
we,
after
and
during
the
public
hearings
council
members
will
be
working
to
deliberate
and
decide
how
they
want
to
amend
the
mayor's
recommended
budget,
and
then
we
will
have
a
budget
markup
that
will
be
at
the
end
of
this
month
and
that
will
move
to
an
adoption
of
the
city
budget
and
the
required
truth
and
Taxation
hearing.
B
B
New
spending
in
that
total
is
about
33
million
in
2023
and
47
million
in
2024
and
again
this
is
across
all
the
funds
in
the
city.
New
spending
falls
into
the
following
categories
that
were
priorities
in
the
mayor's
budget:
City
capacity
and
performance,
Public
Safety,
affordable
housing,
climate
and
public
health
and
economic
inclusion.
So,
on
the
slide,
I've
included
the
totals
for
the
new
spending
proposed
in
each
of
those
priority
areas.
B
In
our
budget
book,
which
is
online
on
the
city's
budget
website,
you
can
read
in-depth
descriptions
of
all
of
the
proposed
new
spending
by
those
priority
areas
Revenue.
So
on
the
revenue
side
of
things,
the
city
budget
includes
1.66
billion
and
23
and
1.56
billion
planned
in
2024
or
sorry
in
2023.
That
number
includes
1.56
billion
in
new
funds
flowing
into
the
City
and
about
100
million
in
planned
use
of
fund
balance
across
all
the
funds
in
the
city.
B
A
note
on
the
property
tax
levy
we
are,
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
includes
a
6.5
percent
increase
in
the
levy
in
2023
and
a
6.2
percent
increase
in
2024..
This
raises
the
total
amount
levied
by
27
million
in
2023.
B
property
taxes
depend
on
a
number
of
factors
to
get
to
the
actual
impact
on
you
know
individual
residents
or
commercial
properties,
and
so
one
phenomena
that
we're
seeing
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
is
that
there's
been
strong
growth
in
the
value
for
Residential
Properties
and
not
not
such
strong
growth
in
the
commercial
properties
in
the
city,
and
when
that
happens,
we
see
the
the
amount
levied
on
Residential
Properties
growing
faster.
So
an
example
of
that
is
this
year.
B
Just
due
to
that
factor
the
changes
in
the
underlying
value
we
see
even
with
a
zero
percent
increase
in
the
levy.
So
no
change.
We
would
see
about
a
44
dollar
increase
on
your
median
Minneapolis
home.
So
those
are
some
of
the
factors
that
are
impacting
how
the
tax
levy
will
be
administered
in
2023.,
for
more
information
on
property
taxes,
the
assessor's
office
that
the
city
has
put
together
the
levy
impact
estimator,
which
is
an
interactive
tool
available
on
our
website,
which
can
show
you,
by
Ward
and
by
property
type.
B
A
You
I
will
note
that
we've
been
joined
by
customer
Payne,
council
member
Vita,
customer
Osman
and
customer
wansley
and
I
know
that
councilmember
Johnson
is
going
to
be
joining
us
later,
but
he's
at
a
community
event
right
now,
but
I'd
like
to
see.
If
there's
any
questions
from
my
colleagues
I
see,
we
have
council,
member,
wansley
and
Q.
Oh.
A
Perfect,
okay,
any
other
questions
from
my
colleagues
I,
don't
think
so.
Thank
you.
So
much
all
right.
At
this
time
we
will
open
up
the
public
hearing,
we'll
be
taking
speakers
in
the
order
that
they
are
registered.
Each
speaker
will
be
given
two
minutes
to
address
the
committee.
We
have
a
timer
over
by
the
clerks
to
help
speakers
monitor
the
use
of
their
time.
I
also
ask
that
everyone
be
respectful
of
all
speakers
and
of
all
opinions
offered.
This
hearing
is
a
neutral
Forum
so
that
all
residents
have
an
opportunity
to
address.
A
The
committee
on
the
proposed
budget
I
understand
that
we
have
10
people
already
registered
to
speak
before
I
open
up
the
floor,
I'll
invite
anyone
who
hasn't
already
registered,
who
wishes
to
speak
to
register
right
over
here
next
to
the
clerk's
desk
there
each
speaker
should
also
when
you
begin.
Please
state
your
name
for
the
public
record
before
you
begin
your
comments.
I'll
also
note
that
we
do
have
overflow
space
in
room
319
across
the
hall.
There
is
live
broadcast
of
this
meeting
there.
A
So
if
this
is
there's
no
space
here,
please
make
sure
that
you
know
that
you
can
monitor
the
meeting
from
there
as
well.
I
will
periodically
announce
the
upcoming
group
of
speakers
so
that
you'll
be
able
to
head
back
to
this
room
before
it's.
Your
turn
to
speak.
I
also
want
to
note
that
there
are
interpreters
available
if
needed
as
well.
So
please,
just
let
me
know
if
that's
if
that
is
to
your
desire.
A
D
Good
morning,
council
members
I
was
born
at
Minneapolis
General,
my
formative
years.
I
played
football
and
theater
worth
park,
I'm
a
Camden
boy,
so
I've
seen
the
transformation
from
my
youth
to
where
the
city
is
now.
The
full
rainbow
of
humanity
is
here
now
when
I
was
growing
up
it
wasn't
that
way.
So
I
wanted
to
lift
up
that
we're
the
only
city,
major
city
in
the
U.S
that
allows
a
call
to
prayer
to
go
out.
D
D
Remember
the
Somali
refugees
in
those
camps,
so
knowing
the
journey
they've
been
on,
knowing
the
hate
that's
been
around
for
four
years
of
the
Muslim
man,
your
office
Michelle's
work
made
it
possible
for
the
queen
of
Norway
to
present
have
a
Ukrainian
flag
presented
to
them
from
Ukrainian
refugees
outside
the
Ordway
I
want
to
known
about
it.
Hadn't
happened
on
that
call
that
she
hosts
every
month.
D
E
F
Hello:
everyone,
my
name
is
Nomi
bad
boy.
You
see
her
pronouns
I'm,
a
member
of
the
trans,
Equity,
Council
and
I
live
here
in
Minneapolis
in
ward
7..
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
2021's
data
on
the
lgbtq
plus
Minnesotan
shows
that
23
of
lgbtq,
plus
respondents
reported
that
there
was
a
time
in
the
past
year
where
they
needed
to
see
a
doctor,
but
did
not
because
they
thought
they
would
be
disrespected
misgendered
mistreated.
As
an
lgbtq
person,
57
percent
of
respondents
have
had
to
teach
their
providers
about
lgbtq,
plus
people
to
get
appropriate
care,
and
48
of
those
respondents
have
had
providers
refuse
to
treat
them
because
they
were
lgbtq
Plus.
F
It's
important
to
know
these
facts
so
that
we
as
a
community
don't
feel
left
out
or
left
alone.
We
do
belong.
We
are
here
and
we
do
these
essential.
We
do
need
the
Essential
Health
Care
needs
met.
We
do
need
these
essential
health,
health
care
needs
met,
and
this
can
help
us
make
that
happen
again.
My
name
is
Nomi
badboy
and
thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
G
Cool
okay,
hi,
my
name
is
I,
use
it
and
there's
pronouns
I'm
an
immigrant
from
Mexico
Minneapolis
is
my
first
home
outside
of
Mexico
and
I'm
here
with
the
Minnesota
right
immigrants
rights
action
committee
to
strongly
urge
this
Council
to
include
two
important
issues
in
the
city's
budget.
One
is
funding
the
implementation
of
Municipal
ID,
which
is
already
passed
in
2018,
but
yet
to
be
implemented.
G
G
Now
is
the
time
to
have
the
back
of
DACA
recipients
at
a
more
comprehensive
Municipal
level,
as
DACA
and
TPS
is
under
Fire.
We
must
demonstrate
that
the
city
is
committed
to
caring
for
and
supporting
vulnerable
populations
from
being
targeted.
Otherwise,
what
kind
of
city
are
we?
We
have
to
protect
our
own
from
all
angles
and
495
dollars,
and
an
application
process
is
no
small
sum
or
task
for
working
people
in
Minneapolis,
Let's
help
them
out
materially
through
this
fund
allocation.
The
time
is
now
to
act
on
this.
Thank.
H
H
J
Good
morning
my
name
is
Julia.
Johnson
I
live
in
board,
eight
with
represented
by
council
president
Andrea
Jenkins
and
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
I'm
here
to
call
on
city
council
to
fund
our
communities?
That
means
housing
for
all.
We
need
affordable
and
high
quality
housing.
We
are
in
a
housing
crisis.
Right
now,
in
the
city's
response
has
been
to
delay
the
implementation
of
voter
mandated
rent
control,
while
also
conducting
massive
encampment
sweeps.
J
This
city
has
the
means
to
safely
house
every
single
one
of
our
unsheltered
neighbors.
Instead,
the
mayor
continues
to
make
the
crisis
worse.
We
also
need
to
fully
fund
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
behavioral
crisis
response
teams.
We
also
mean
funding
for
youth
harm
reduction
and
gun
prevention
programs,
as
well
as
free,
counseling
and
therapy
services
for
our
communities.
J
But
it's
clear,
Community
input
is
not
welcome
in
this
process
if
you
truly
valued
the
Insight
of
residence,
Implement,
participatory
budgeting
in
all
future
city
budget
processes.
Lastly,
we
need
accountability
across
the
board.
There
is
documented
pattern
of
discrimination
and
corruption
in
City
Hall.
Just
read
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
abuse
report
to
see
more
information
rather
than
confront
this
harm.
The
mayor
has
resisted
all
attempts
at
accountability
through
the
state
consent
decree
process
and
is
attempting
to
dismantle
the
office
of
performance
and
Innovation.
J
K
I
K
A
Thank
you.
Next
we
have
Eric
Willis
and
then
we
will
have
Allison
Sharkey
and
then
lead
Samuelson,
Eric.
L
Hi
I'm
Allison
Cherokee
executive
director
of
the
Lake
Street
Council,
thanks
so
much
to
all
of
you
for
your
support
over
the
last
two
years.
As
our
commercial
quarters
recover
from
covet
and
civil
unrest
together,
we've
helped
over
500
businesses
reopen
on
Lake
Street.
We've
kept
all
destroyed
property
in
local
hands,
helping
prevent
gentrification.
L
To
continue
this
success,
we
need
to
continue
to
invest
in
bringing
customers
back
to
our
stores,
so
we
have
the
following
four
requests
for
Budget
amendments:
first,
we've
been
working
with
a
public-private
partnership
to
develop
a
Lake
Street
Safety
Center,
and
it
will
cost
only
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
staff
that
and
have
a
space
we're
requesting
support
for
that.
Second,
there
is
a
ambassador
program.
L
You
know
Community
called
Community
safety
strategies
and
we're
looking
for
support
to
expand
that
to
South
Minneapolis
and
that
will
cost
a
little
over
a
million
dollars,
and
that
will
help
a
lot
with
eyes.
On
the
street
and
helping
people
feel
welcome
similar
to
what
we
have
downtown.
L
L
Fourth,
we
want
to
continue
our
focus
on
the
public
realm,
picking
up
trash,
repairing
broken
infrastructure,
that's
in
the
public
realm
and
removing
snow
on
the
sidewalk,
so
that
people
can
get
around.
L
Finally,
I
want
to
thank
I
I
just
want
to
thank
the
investment
so
far
in
the
commercial
property,
Development
Fund,
that's
in
the
budget
for
10
million
dollars
and
that's
a
hugely
effective
tool
for
economic
development
for
our
corridors.
Thank
you.
M
Yeah
cherkovsky
members
of
the
committee
Lee
and
Ward
12
and
I
support
the
coalition's
work
who
is
showing
up
here
today,
but
I
want
to
comment
on
one
item
in
particular.
That
could
be
helpful
and
I'm
wanting
to
see
if
the
council
could
fund
the
communications
position
in
the
sustainability
Department
that
had
been
held
by
Diana
Chao
back
in
2019
before
covid
and
I've
been
interested
in
the
work
groups
for
crafting
the
city's
tenure
update
to
its
climate
and
Equity
plan.
M
Ever
since
the
community
connections
conference
back
in
May,
but
the
government
programs
initiatives,
climate
Equity,
Community
engagement
website
does
not
have
the
link
to
sign
up
posted
on
the
website
so
that
anyone
who
is
like
not
in
the
In
Crowd
could
just
go
there
and
find
it.
And
when
I
checked
the
website
this
morning,
it
still
had
events
from
for,
like
August
25th
and
September
6th
in
the
Pres
in
the
future
tense
and
while
I
personally
know
and
greatly
respect
all
five
sustainability
Department
staff.
M
Hearing
with
the
intention
that
we
could
be
able
to
work
something
out
in
time.
Thank
you.
C
Are
they
them
and
I'm
here
today,
representing
the
Minnesota
transgender
Health
coalition,
I'd
like
to
just
say
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
that
y'all
do
and
put
in
every
day
to
make
our
city
a
better
place,
and
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
like
to
support
the
recommendations
put
forth
by
my
friends
and
colleagues,
know
me
and
Julia
and
Allison
too,
to
say
that
our
city
Longs
for
and
needs
safety
we
long
for
and
need
infrastructure
and
those
things
come
in.

Hello
city,
council,
I'm,
Julia,
I,
live
in
Powderhorn
and
I
am
here
with
the
Minnesota
immigrant
rights.
Action
Coalition
I
want
to
Echo
some
of
the
sentiments
that
memo
had
mentioned,
especially
about
funding
DACA
applications,
so
I
am
speaking
in
support
of
making
space
in
the
budget
to
fund
DACA,
because
DACA
recipients
have
been
living
in
limbo
for
ages
now
and
as
people
with
DACA
have
had,
because
as
people
with
DACA
have
had
their
immigration
status
threatened
time
and
time
again,
especially
at
like
the
federal
level.
N
N
Daca
applications
cost
495
dollars
and
DACA
recipients
have
to
reapply
for
DACA
every
two
years,
and
that
is
just
like
a
huge
amount
for
working
people
to
have
to
pay
every
two
years.
So
I
ask
you
to
please:
do
the
right
thing
stand
up
for
young
people
in
our
cities
and
please
find
DACA
applications.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
N
A
A
O
Okay,
welcome.
Let
me
put
my
two
minute
timer
on
all
right:
I
just
came
because
I'm
13th
and
queen
Jeremiah
is
my
district,
but
I'm
a
little
bit
more
of
that.
You
know
previously.
O
O
Well,
let
me
introduce
myself:
Mike
Mike
Jones,
like
I,
said
I'm
13th
and
queen
and
I
think
what
I'm
the
money
for
our
communities
need
to
be
distributed
equally,
not
heavily
on
the
I,
don't
want
to
say
military
Stormtrooper
tactic,
but
you
know,
and
the
best
thing
that
ever
happened
to
this
city
and
I
just
came
back
in
February
is
Bob
Crow's
gone
and
I
don't
wanna,
but
but
anyway,
we
need
to
speak
for
our
community.
O
O
So
if
you
guys
go
with
a
a
a
budget
based
off
heavy
on
the
hand
I'm
just
going
to
look
at
it
as
a
I'm
gonna
give
you
100
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
used
to
catch
us,
the
people
who
used
to
catch
us
those
tactics,
that's
how
I'm
gonna
equate
this,
because,
if
you're
not
going
to
be
for
the
community,
then
be
out
of
my
community,
don't
do
no
photo
opportunities
that
you
want
to
say.
O
Okay
I
want
to
do
this
because
the
cameras
on
me
do
it
for
the
heart:
love
your
city,
I
love,
my
city,
I'm
on
my
city,
I'm
over
North
I'm
on
Broadway
Penn,
Golden
Valley
in
the
trenches,
because
I
love
my
city.
But
if
you
don't
believe
in
the
budget,
that's
conducive
for
all
opportunities,
whether
it's
education
housing,
then
you
gotta
figure
it
out
the
way
it
is
now.
It's
not
good.
A
A
A
A
A
After
the
December
1st
hearing,
the
budget
committee
will
consider
amendments
to
Mayor
Fry's
proposed
budget.
We
have
December
3rd
reserved
for
the
bulk
of
this
work.
That
meeting
will
begin
at
10
A.M.
Additionally,
we
will
have
a
meeting
scheduled
on
December
6
to
do
any
final
cleanup
if
we
don't
complete
our
business
on
December
3rd.
A
Okay,
we're
a
team
here:
I
could
have
seen
that
myself,
so
these
markup
sessions,
as
well
of
of
all
of
our
meetings,
will
be
broadcast
on
the
TV's,
our
City's
TV
channel
and
live
streamed
on
the
city's
website.
Finally,
I
will
also
note
that
anyone
may
send
written
comments
by
email
to
council
comment
at
Minneapolis,
mn.gov
and
they'll
be
incorporated
into
the
record
of
this
hearing.
That
email
address
is
also
listed
at
the
bottom
of
the
printed
agenda,
as
well
as
the
post
agenda
online.
A
Are
there
any
final
comments
or
questions
from
committee
members
before
we
adjourn?
I
also
want
to
note
that
we
do
have
council
member
Ellison
here
and
councilmember
Johnson
was
also
able
to
join
us
as
well,
so
and
and
president
Jenkins,
any
other
comments
from
my
colleagues.
