Don't

I'd
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
statute,
section
13d

the
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube

as
a
means
of
increasing
public
assets
and
transparency.
B
Board
meetings
are
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
I
will
now
call
this
need
to
order
and
ask
kelly
to
call
the
role
so
that
we
may
ver
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum
in
calling
the
road.
I
would
like
for
you
as
our
icebreaker
to
give
me
your
color
of
the
day
and
a
short
sentence.
Why
I'll
show
I'll
start
off
with
mine?
My
color
today
is
green
because
I'm
ready
for
spring.
A
All
right,
let
me
go
through
roll
here.
Let's
start
with
akia.
D
Yeah
present
color
for
the
day
purple.
It's
always
got
to
be
purple,
go
vikings.
A
E
F
Hi,
I
am
michelle
I'm
here
on
dakota
land
in
northeast
minneapolis
and
I'm
sorry.
I
was
reading
the
land
acknowledgement.
Are
we
doing
our
favorite
colors.
A
F
G
H
Everybody
I'm
anthony
taylor
with
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I've
actually
got
two
colors
today.
One
is
burgundy,
because
three
of
our
men
in
our
department,
including
me,
showed
up
to
work
today
in
a
burgundy,
colored
sweater,
so
the
jokes
ran
wild
all
day
and
then
the
second
color
is
green,
because
aaron
rodgers
is
back
with
the
packers
had
to
throw
that
out
there,
because
I
heard
some
viking
stuff
so
good
to
see
everybody
yeah.
That
was
for
you.
A
Thanks
anthony
michael,
I
think
you
were
on
the
line.
I
A
All
right,
thank
you,
michael
and
roxanne
are
doing.
Roll
call.
Welcome,
and
the
icebreaker
for
today
is
what
color
are
you
today.
J
Okay,
hey
y'all,
I
what
color,
let
me
see,
damn
I'm
a
lot
of
colors.
I'm
like
I
think
today.
I
am
blue,
like.
B
Excuse
me:
can
somebody
take
over
for
me,
the
doctor
just
came
in
I'm
a
mute
and
turn
off
my
camera.
J
J
A
Thank
you
georgiana,

on
the
phone
with
the
eight
five
joe?
We
just
lost
last
person
that
person
okay,
how
about
the
7615
number
hi.
L
Everyone,
this
is
tashona
williams.
I
am
a
documentary
with
our
pillsbury
united
and
my
favorite
color
or
color.
For
today
I
would
say
is
fuchsia.
It
could
be
a
little
pink
could
be
a
little
red
but
mix
them
together
and
it
looks
like
fuchsia.
So
that's
kind
of
where
my
legs.
A
Beautiful,
thank
you
so
much.
Let's
see
it
looks
like
dicey.
Julie
now
joined
us
julia
we're
doing
intros
in
roll
call.
If
you
want
to
say
hi
you're
present
and
what
color
are
you
today.
M
Good
afternoon,
everyone
good
evening
julian
learson,
I'm
wearing
my
bifocals,
so
I'm
not
seeing,
but
I'm
like,
I
can't
seem
very
good
here.
I
work
in
the
city
coordinator's
office.
I
am
black
today,
black
black
black.
A
A
No
okay,
let's
see
my
sue,
do
you
want
to
introduce
yourself.
A
No
okay,
angela,
why
don't
you
go
next.
N
A
Don't
think
so,
so
we
did
reach
quorum
and
then
I
will
say
that
I
am
kelly
moleman,
I'm
staff
with
the
sustainability
office.
My
color
today
is
probably
like
a
light
gray,
a
little
bit
of
a
haze.
A
And
so
now,
I'll
just
step
in
for
vanessa,
since
she's
had
to
step
out
for
her
doctor's
appointment.
Next
up
is
adopting
the
agenda
and
accepting
the
meeting
notes
from
february's
meeting.
They
were
attached
in
the
email
I
sent
about
a
week
and
a
half
ago.
I
will
also
drop
that
into
the
chat
here
in
just
a
moment
for
those
who
are
on
the
call
at
least
the
agenda
for
this
meeting,
which
has
a
link
to
the
meeting
notes
from
last
month.
D
A
I
do
so
I
can
do
that
now
that
there
is
a
motion
to
adopt
so
two
things.
One
is
so
again.
This
is
just
a
an
amendment
to
the
emotion
for
adopting
the
agenda
and
accepting
the
meeting
minutes.
One
I'd
like
to
add
a
moment
of
consideration
for
anita
urbina,
davis's
family.
A
I
got
some
sad
news
from
her
today
and
wanted
to
share
why
she
can't
join
us,
and
then
we
also
developed
a
leadership
evaluation
form
just
take
a
couple
minutes
for
folks.
So
we
can
add
that
in
to
the
agenda
for
folks
to
do
while
we're
in
the
meeting
today,
so
I
guess
I
would
make
the
motion
then
to
amend
the
first
motion
with
those
edits
to
the
agenda.
A
All
right
not
hearing
any
I'll
start
from
the
end
of
the
alphabet
and
go
up
so
yolanda.
O
J
A
G
A
C
A
It
looks
like
we
may
have
lost
michael
for
the
moment.
Did
I
miss
any
of
our
voting
members.
A
The
agenda
and
the
minutes-
yes,
wonderful,
thank
you
so
that
motion
carries
so
before
I
hand
it
over
to
angela
for
the
land
acknowledgement.
I
was
just
gonna
share
the
email
that
I
received
from
anita.
So
those
of
you
who
know
her
may
know
that
she
has
a
grandson
who
has
been
struggling
with
cancer
over
many
years
of
his
young
life,
and
they
recently
got
a
diagnosis
that
he
has
glioblastoma
stage.
A
Four
cancer
on
his
cerebellum
part
of
his
brain,
and
so
he
has
been
brought
home
for
hospice
and
him
and
his
family
are
spending
time
with
each
other.
Unfortunately,
during
his
last
days,
so
anita
asked
for
any
prayers
and
kind
thoughts.
G
A
Send
to
their
family
for
basically
any
how
old.
K
K
J
A
Okay,
if
you
have
that
information
georgiana,
can
you
share
that
with
everyone
or
send
it
to
me
and
I'll?
Send
it
out.
H
Kelly
just
tell
her
send
in
love
for
our
baby.
A
Well,
thank
you
for,
for
that
moment
very
sobering.
I
think,
with
the
the
work
that
we
do
in
general
and
just
all
of
us
as
part
of
the
community
with
anita
so
I'll,
angela
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
for
the
land,
acknowledgement.
N
Okay,
as
we
begin,
let's
pause
for
a
moment
to
contemplate
an
indigenous
land
and
enslave
peoples.
We
have
to
start
with
honesty.
Land
acknowledgement
is
a
traditional
custom
dating
back
centuries
for
many
native
communities
and
nations
for
non-indigenous
communities.
Land
acknowledgement
is
a
powerful
way
of
showing
respect
and
honoring
the
indigenous
peoples
of
the
land
on
which
we
work
and
live
the
indigenous
land
and
enslave
people's
acknowledgement.
N
We
invite
you
to
recognize
the
written
histories
of
the
united
states,
specifically
midwestern
states
as
fractured.
Let
us
acknowledge,
then,
that
we
are
currently
on
the
land
of
the
indigenous
who
continue
to
be
systematically
erased
by
policies
and
practices
that
remove
their
histories
from
this
place.
Let
us
honor
the
enslaved
people
who
built
the
wealth
and
wealth
and
foundation
of
the
united
states.
Let
us
recognize
the
histories
of
the
united
states
as
complicit
with
the
racism
of
white
supremacy.
N
We
recognize
that
these
difficult
histories
persistent
present
day
racial
realities
and
privileges,
was
within
our
environmental
justice
movement.
We
commit
to
dismantling
dismantling
racism
in
spaces
of
our
work.
We
invite
you
to
work
beside
us
to
create
change
adapted
from
james
madison
university.
Indigenous
land
and
enslave
people's
acknowledgement.
D
L
D
Yeah
and
thank
you
andrew
for
for
reading
that
aloud,
there's.
D
Might
have
noticed,
we've
done,
I
think
three
different
versions
of
the
land
acknowledgement
and
today
we
wanted
to
basically
standardize
and
go
forward
with
one
for
all
meetings
going
forward.
So
everyone
should
have
seen
the
email
come
out
with
the
three
different
texts
of
those
land,
acknowledgments
and
kelly.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
pull
them
up
or,
if
that's
necessary
for
this
conversation,
but
we
did
want
to
get
feedback
on
the
land,
acknowledgments
and
move
forward
with
an
official
land
acknowledgement
for
the
green
zones
in
future
meetings.
D
So
if
anyone
has
any
strong
opinions
on
which
land
acknowledgement,
we
should
proceed
with.
I'd
open
the
floor
to
you
right
now,
and
I
think
at
this
time
kelly
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
we
can.
We
can
move
forward
with
a
either
a
motion
or
a
vote
to
to
accept
one
of
the
three
that
we've
been
using.
N
A
So
yeah,
no,
that
was
perfect.
Angela,
oh
okay,
all
right
yeah!
So
the
one
angela
read
was
this:
this
first
one
here,
if
you're
seeing
the
screen,
we
have
also
used
the
land
acknowledgement
from
the
community
environmental
advisory
commission,
and
that
is
the
second
one
here
and
then
jackie
taylor,
who
recently
resigned
from
northside
green
zone
and
was
on
the
leadership
team,
had
also
shared
a
land
acknowledgement
and
the
one
that
she
shared
is
here
as
option
three.
E
Well,
I
was
going
to
say
the
same
thing
because
it
includes
people
of
you
know
black
american
african
descent
slaves
and
recognizes
that's
the
one
that
I
brought
from
the
midwest
decarbonization
and
that's
the
one
that
they
use.
So
I
brought
that
and
I
thought
it
would.
That
applies
to
us.
So
my
votes
on
that.
F
Yeah,
so
I
was
hoping
we
could
have
discussion
on
it,
so
the
first
one
I
like
because
of
the
making
sure
that
we
acknowledge
the
slavery,
the
legalized
slavery
that
actually
happened
in
minnesota.
F
What's
missing,
though,
is
acknowledging
that
we're
on
dakota
land,
so
I
would
like
to
have
something
about
you
know
what's
specific
here
to
minneapolis,
that
is
in
the
second
and
the
third
one.
E
F
B
So
can't
we
just
add
on
we're
on
dakota
land.
N
B
E
You
got
to
research
it
and
I'm
not,
I'm
not.
You
it'll
be
called
pl.
We
can
use
it
because
it's
adapted,
but
if
you
guys
want
to
create
your
own
and
and
do
whatever
I
I
that's
what
jackie
did
I'm
just.
I
just
brought
that
for
everybody
because
it
it
fit
everybody
to
me.
Yeah.
N
B
E
I
understand
I
understand
that
we're
on
dakota
land
and
that's
what's
recognized
by
the
federal
government,
that
this
is
the
coda
land
and-
and
I
get
that
so
you
guys
want
to
include
minneapolis
and
all
of
that
we
brought
the
land
acknowledgement
new
in
this
term
and
you
guys
never
had
one.
So
I'm
just
I
I
I'm
confused.
I'm
gonna
go
get
some
water.
F
G
Hey
yeah,
I
I
guess
I
respectfully
understand
what
everyone
is
saying
and
I
I
see
each
person's
point,
but
I
guess,
being
a
being
part
native
myself,
I'm
going
to
speak
to
what's
important
to
me
and
what
I
think
is
important
to
both
cultures.
I
I
agree
that
both
cultures
have
experienced
egregious.
G
Amounts
of
slavery
in
oppression
etc,
but
I
guess
I
would
I
and
I
think
that
the
slavery
component
should
be
included,
but
I
would
also
say
I
think
that
we
all
at
this
table
are
intelligent
enough
to
understand
what
a
land
acknowledgement
is,
and
so
I
believe
that
the
various
parts
of
minnesota
represent
land
that
was
firstly
owned
and
occupied.
That
was
stolen
by
the
colonized
folks.
That
came
here
so
to,
and
I
get-
and
I
really
do
understand
the
sacredness
of
the
lakota
land
and
wanting
to
acknowledge
it.
G
But
I
feel
like
the
way
that
that
is,
that
would
be
written,
would
also
be
exclusive
and
excluding
other
tribes
that
had
that
co-habited
with
the
lakota
people,
and
so
you
know,
we
know
how
many
nations
are
here
in
this
territory:
we're
not
the
federal
government.
We
are
a
organization
that
is
trying
to
honor
native
people,
so
I
think
that
so
that
we
don't
lose
what
what
the
whole
purpose
of
this
is.
Is
it's
a
it's,
a
sacred
honorarium
to
acknowledge
and
we
don't
want
to
split
hairs
about
it.
E
Well,
in
any
case,
I
identify
as
in
black
indigenous
I'm
native
and
black
and
my
family,
been
here
for
many
years
and
lived
amongst
the
dakota
people.
My
grandmother
speaks
ojibwe
and
I
can
understand
it
so
to
me,
including
all
nations,
is
very
important
to
everybody,
because,
as
you
want
to
point
out
it's
exclusive
and
when
you
recognize
everybody,
then
that
brings
a
wider
perspective
to
the
to
what
we're
doing.
N
So
if
you
want
to
add
something
you
can
where
you
got
the
highlighted
yellow,
you
can
say
you
know,
are
currently
on
the
minnesota
state
of
minnesota
land
of
the
indigenous.
If
you
just
want
to
add,
be
specific,
that's
you
know,
we
don't
have
to
change
the
wording
to
anything
else.
If
you
just
want
to
be
state
specific
or
land
specific,
you
can
say
on
the
land
of
the
state
of
minnesota
of
the
india.
You
know,
I
don't
know,
that's
my
best.
N
G
My
wife,
why
are
you
splitting
cares
about
it?
Michelle?
My
question
hold
on
a
minute
michelle,
I'm
trying
to
understand.
I'm
I'm
I'm
really
trying
to
understand
what
is
it
that
so
because,
if
you're
trying
to
point
out
one
tribe,
that's
exclusive,
that's
not
inclusive
and
that's
counter
intuitive
to
the
native
beliefs.
F
G
F
You
I
will
tell
you
that
the
second
one
was
written
with
the
native
american
specialist
at
the
city,
because
I
wrote
it
with
her.
Oh
no,
I
I
would
not
say
I
was
very
much
trying
to
make
sure
it
was
honoring.
E
So
if,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
still
going
to
have
to
vote
on
which
one
and
because
time's
ticking
and
and
we've
been
not
completing
our
whole
agenda
and
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time
on
this,
so
maybe
we
could
come
back
to
this
and
people
can
think
about
it.
Because
michelle
I'm
going
to
be
honest
with
you.
I'm
kind
of
offended
because
you
want
to
exclude,
exclude
some
other
people
and-
and
I
want
to
say,
sounds
racist,
but
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
go
there,
but.
N
E
Minnesota,
if
you
know
anything
about
the
native
american
indians
in
white
earth
minnesota,
where
it's
checkerboard
up
there
and
it
was
the
tears
of
the
trail
and
I
have
documentation
in
my
great
grandfather's
bible
and
all
this
stuff
and
how
things
became
checkerboard
and
how
the
federal
government
split
the
nations
as
they
did,
the
black
community,
the
hispanic
and
the
asians.
So
when
it
comes
down
to
things,
the
federal
government
has
done
it
and
I'm
just
gonna
leave
it
like
that,
because
I'm
very
passionate
about
my
history
of
being
who
I
am
so
michelle.
E
A
Well,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
we
have
a
second.
So
if
the,
unless
there
is
more
discussion
because
it
doesn't
seem
like
we're,
adding
anything
to
the
conversation,
we
can
go
ahead
and
vote
and
we
can
just
we
can
let
that
vote
stand.
It's
always
something
we
can
come
back
to
and
modify
if
we
feel
like
we
want
to
do
that
as
a
group.
A
A
Their
attempt
to
amend
it,
so
what
we're
voting
on
now
is,
as
it
was
originally
read.
So
I'll
start
with
yolanda.
J
A
We're
voting
on
which
land
acknowledgement
to
adopt
and
the
motion
was
to
adopt
the
land
acknowledgment
that
angela
read
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
Without
any
amendments.
A
Okay,
it's
up
on
the
screen.
D
A
C
A
A
We'll
come
back
to
him,
leslie.
A
Okay,
so
we'll
consider
that
an
abstention
or
we
don't
no
vote.
Did
I
miss
any
voting
members?
Oh
there.
You
are
vanessa.
B
A
Okay,
so
that
motion
passes,
we
do
now
have
a
standard
land
acknowledgment
that
will
be
included
in
our
northside
green
zone
meetings.
Again,
if
we
decide
at
any
point,
we
want
to
change
it.
We
can
always
do
that.
It's
our
working
landing
acknowledgement
for
now
I'm
going
to
stop
sharing
my
screens.
You
can
all
see
each
other,
and
next
we
have
back
to
andrew
for
our
leadership
election.
D
Yeah,
so
as
you
guys,
as
as
kelly
had
mentioned,
we
are
gonna
go
with
an
election
for
the
four
leadership
positions.
There
is
one
opening
right
now
and
then
everyone's
up
for
re-election
as
well
with
jackie
resigning
leaves
an
opening
which
kind
of
brought
us
the
conversation
on
on
how
to
proceed
so
kelly.
D
I
don't
know
some
of
the
details
here
that
are
just
within
you
know
our
email
as
far
as
how
many
are
nominated
or
how
the
official
proceedings
should
should
go
forward,
but
we're
going
to
ask
for
nominations
on
the
floor
and
then
offer
each
nominee
the
opportunity
to
share
you
know
a
sentence
or
two,
but
why
they
want
to
serve.
If
it
is
only
four
nominees,
then
we
can
make
a
motion
to
accept
all
four.
D
A
Yes,
so
I
can
share
that.
We
have
received
four
nominations
via
email
prior
to
this
meeting,
so
I
will
name
those
four
and
then
I
will
ask
if
there
are
any
nominations
from
the
floor
and
that
basically
means
that
you
can
nominate
yourself
or
somebody
else
now
you
don't
have
to
do
it
in
advance.
You
can
do
it
live,
so
our
four
nominations
are
leslie
jackson,
akia,
lynnae
and
andrew
again,
that's
leslie,
akiya,
lynnae
and
andrew.
A
L
A
We
do
have
a
vacancy
that
will
be
open
for
applications
this
spring.
So
if
you
know
of
somebody
who
is
interested
in
applying
to
join
the
task
force,
I
will
have
links
to
send
out
within
the
next
month
for
how
to
do
that.
I
I
I
think
that
we
should
have
a
young
person
from
the
community
as
a
member
of
the
green
zone
or
in
a
leadership
position,
so
that
we
can
be
mentoring
them.
At
the
same
time,.
A
All
right:
well,
if
not
hearing
any
other
nominations,
I
do
want
to
note
that
each
nominee
can
accept
or
decline
their
nomination,
as
well
as
take
a
few
moments
to
share.
If,
if
they
want
to
again,
this
isn't
entirely
voluntary,
they
want
to
share
a
couple
words
about
why
they
would
like
to
serve
as
a
leadership
team
member.
So,
let's
see,
let's
start
with
leslie
leslie.
Are
you
would
you
like
to
accept
your
nomination
and
say
a
couple
words.
B
E
Yeah
I
would
like
to
thank
to
be
nominated
and
I'm
really
glad
to
be
a
part
of
this
group
and
I'm
trying
to
work
very
hard
to
advance
this
in
a
in
a
independent
direction,
and
I
just
thank
everybody
for
being
patient
with
me
rallying
on
on
different
things
and
I'm
learning,
but
thank
you
very,
very
much
and
yell
at
me
or
put
something
in
the
chat
for
me
just
to
slow
down.
But
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
this
group.
E
D
Yeah,
except
and
and
wanted
to
hear
some
of
leslie's
just
thanks
and
gratitude.
I
appreciate
being
a
part
of
this
and
you
know
going
forward
continue
to
working
on
affecting
things
in
the
community,
so
getting
those
funds
out
to
the
different
groups
like
we
did
last
year
finding
ways
to
to
do
that
in
the
year
ahead
and
then
you
know
getting
together
in
person,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
green
zone
summit,
so
those
are
opportunities,
I'm
looking
forward
to
as
well.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
A
C
Can
you
hear
me
now
yeah,
yes,
kelly?
I
think,
thanks
for
the
nomination
and
earlier
to
to
michael's
point
about
having
a
younger
person
help
with
the
leadership
board.
I
think
that
I
don't
know
if
I
would
be
considered
young
graduated
from
henry
in
2016,
but
definitely
would
be
honored
to
join
the
team
and
help
out
do
more
of
the
background
work.
I
definitely
am
still
learning
a
lot.
A
Fantastic,
I
will
note
that
lynnae
is
not
able
to
join
us
tonight.
She
did
email
me
in
advance
and
say
that
she
wouldn't
be
able
to
make
it.
I
did
let
her
know
that
she
was
nominated
for
the
leadership
team.
I
have
not
heard
back
whether
she
has
accepted
that
nomination.
E
I
want
to
apologize
for
my
outburst
and
I
know
we're
in
a
voting
stage,
but
I
just
kind
of
I
just
I'm
just
sorry,
I'm
very
sorry
and
I
let
my
feelings
and
my
emotions
take
over
instead
of
facts
and
dealing
with
things
from
what
I
know
about
what
it
is.
But
anyway
I
just
want
to
apologize
and
it
was
very
uncalled
for
and
very
unprofessional
and
I'm
sorry.
A
A
J
D
A
A
Yes,
wonderful
thanks
yolanda
for
stepping
back
in
all
right.
Well,
that
motion
is
approved.
Congratulations
to
our
new
leadership
team.
I
will
be
following
up
with
all
four
of
you
to
set
our
first
leadership
team
meeting.
A
We
meet
for
about
one
hour
once
a
month
to
prep
the
agendas
for
the
north
side,
green
zone,
task
force,
meetings
and
decide
on
facilitation
and
topics,
and
things
like
that.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
really
appreciate
everything
that
everyone
on
the
task
force
contributes
and
especially
the
leadership
team
members
who
step
up
for
that
extra
bit.
D
Yep
and
and
thanks
thanks
again
everyone.
What
we're
going
to
look
at
here
going
forward
is
the
evaluation
consultant,
scope
of
work
and
budget
and
kelly.
If
you
can
bring
that
spreadsheet
up,
I
think
it's
page,
two
of
that
excel
sheet
that
we've
been
working
on
as
far
as
the
the
budget,
but
what
really
what
we're
looking
at
is
kind
of
two
options
for
that
consultant
scope
of
work.
You
know
me
personally
not
having
worked
with
the
consultant
like
in
this
capacity.
D
It's
it's
still
a
little
unclear
exactly
how
those
hours
are
spent,
but
I
think
there
is
some
good
information
just
on
the
page
there
as
to
what
goes
into
you
know.
Essentially
they're,
like
we
said
their
scope
of
work
overall
with
you
know,
maybe
one
way
to
look
at
it.
I
think
it's
been
said
in
the
conversations
before
is.
D
This
is
maybe
an
opportunity
for
us
to
gain
some
additional
independence
is
one
way
leslie
had
kind
of
put
it
or
or
to
gain
influence
within
the
you
know,
the
city
sustainability
division,
so
you
know
the
way
I
looked
at
it
originally.
Is
you
know
going
with
the
the
option
that
maybe
didn't
take
as
many
of
the
funds
away
from
some
of
the
other
projects
that
we
wanted
to
look
at,
but
also,
I
think,
there's
there's
room
for
conversation
there
on.
D
You
know
putting
the
investment
in
to
really
put
ourselves
in
a
spot
where
this
you
know
this
gives
us
a
bit
more
credibility.
So
I
think
there's
positives
and
negatives
to
both
options.
I'm
not
sure
if
we're
ready
for
a
vote
or
motion
on
one
of
the
two
of
these
yet,
but
definitely
want
to
open
up
for
conversation
here
for
the
next
few
minutes
to
get
people's
thoughts,
ideas
and
any
feedback
on
the
two
options
that
we're
looking
at.
A
Again,
if
I
can
step
in
and
share,
I
had
also
sent
out
this
scope
of
work
draft
for
everyone
to
look
at,
and
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
quickly
go
over
the
scope
of
services.
This
is
entirely
based
on
conversations
that
we
have
had
within
northside
green
zone,
southside,
green
zone
and
joint
meetings,
just
in
the
last
few
months,
since
we
knew
that
we
had
this
money
coming
forward
from
city
council.
A
The
consultant
may
also
consider
what
other
cities
have
done
to
successfully
implement
community
driven
environmental
justice
efforts
and
then,
in
the
proposal,
the
applicant
should
highlight
their
experience
with
conducting
interviews,
doing
qualitative
and
quantitative
research,
doing
organizational
leadership,
analysis
and
power
mapping,
and
we
want
that.
We
want
the
consultant
to
provide
a
written
report
as
well
as
a
presentation.
A
The
presentation
will
be
provided
to
the
north
side
and
south
side
green
zone
members
as
well
as
city
council,
and
we
want
them
to
highlight
the
successes
of
the
green
zone's
work
so
far.
What
are
we
getting
right?
Be
specific,
highlight
the
existing
barriers
to
addressing
environmental
justice,
including,
but
not
limited
to
city,
accountability,
internal
and
external
partnerships,
cultural
and
operational
differences
between
government
and
community
resources,
or
funding
retention
of
advisory
committee
members
and
opportunities
to
address
these
barriers
and
be
more
effective.
A
Lynnae,
provided
some
really
good
recommend
suggestions
on
providing
specific
timelines
for
the
consultant
based
on
experience,
she's
had
working
with
consultants,
so
we
have
sort
of
proposed
a
deliverable
timeline
here
where
the
final
work
would
be
done
by
december
of
this
year.
A
This
could
provide
recommendations
for
additional
funding
for
green
zones
in
future
years,
so
that
kind
of
also
puts
a
little
fire
under
our
our
butts
for
getting
this
out
soon,
so
that
that's
the
draft
scope
of
work
so
far,
and
we
don't
necessarily
have
to
vote
on
this,
we
can,
if
we
want
to,
I
more
just,
would
like
to
get
a
temperature
check.
Are
we
on
the
right
track?
Do
people
feel
comfortable
putting
this
language
out?
A
We
can
put
a
dollar
amount
sort
of
as
a
ceiling
on
the
call
for
proposals
and
then
see
what
a
consultant
bids
back
a
lot
of
times.
They
will
go
for
the
ceiling,
but
you
know
not
always
they
might
say,
oh
well,
I
think
the
scope
of
work
needs
x,
number
of
hours,
that's
actually
under
the
budget
that
you've
provided.
So
we
could
even
say
we're.
We
anticipate
providing
a
range
between
25
and
50
000
and
see
what
they
give
back.
D
Is
it
a
question
kelly
for
you
or
or
anyone
who's
had
experience
with
these
types
of
proposals
I
mean?
Is
it
a
waste
of
time
to,
you
know,
see
what
we
can
get
for
25k
and
then,
if
it's,
if
we
feel
it's
not
addressing
the
needs,
then
we
we
go
further
or
is
it
just
I
mean
do
we
does
that
end
up
just
wasting
time
in
the
end,
knowing
they
won't
be
able
to
meet
the
needs
at
25k
or
what
is
what
is
the
strategy
like
that.
A
No,
that
is
a
good
question
and
I
was
actually
kind
of
thinking
about
that
earlier.
I
don't
it's
not
necessarily
a
waste
of
time.
Sometimes
consultants
will
put
in
a
proposal
and
actually
say
they
need
more
than
what
is
being
offered.
A
I
think
the
most
important
thing
is
that,
once
the
call
for
proposals
is
out
in
public
that
we're
sending
it
to
organizations
and
consultants
that
we
think
could
do
this
work
really
well,
because
the
city
will
just
send
out
like
a
very
generic
email
that
many
people
won't
read.
So
people
will
only
go
to
it
if
they
receive
it
from
someone
that
they
know.
A
It'll
be
posted
through
the
city's
e-procurement
portal
and
then
there'll
be
essentially
a
link
that
I
can
share
out
with
all
of
you
that
you
can
send
to
people
they
will
have
to
anyone
who
wants
to
look
at
this
and
apply
for
it
will
have
to
sign
up
to
be
a
bitter
with
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
then
it
will
be.
There
will
be
preference
for
smaller
local
companies
within
the
city,
which
is
called
the
city's
target
market
program.
A
So
someone
doesn't
have
to
currently
be
a
target
market
person,
but
they
would
have
to
sign
up
to
be
target
market.
So
it's
like
not
like
major
consulting
firms
that
work
internationally
we're
trying
to
focus
resources
on
businesses
that
do
work
here
locally
and
and
tend
to
be
sort
of
mid-size
or
smaller.
I
Well,
I've
got
to
ask
the
question:
what
kind
of
power
are
do
we
have
to
imbue?
I
understand
that
we
might
want
to
evaluate
the
work,
the
status
of
the
work,
the
direction
that
we're
going
as
a
task
force,
but
it
sounds
like
for
me
anyway.
It
sounds
like
that
we
might
be
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse.
I
Have
we
had
any
conversations
you
know
with
city
council
or
with
the
mayor
or
the
mayor's
office,
or
even
kim
tim
havey
in
terms
of
what
kind
of,
even
if
we
were
to
hire
a
consultant,
there's
no
guarantee
that
the
work,
the
protocols,
the
police
policy,
changes
that
we
want
to
or
feel
or
that
they
feel
are
warranted.
I
There's
really
no
mechanism
to
hold
the
city
accountable
if
the
city
hasn't
been
responsive
to
the
needs
and
the
input
from
its
own
environmental
task
force
from
you
know
the
green
zone,
then
what
makes
us
feel
that,
because
we
spend
25
to
50
000
on
a
high
priced
hired
gun
that
that's
going
to
have
any
real
impact
in
terms
of
changing
or
advancing
equity
within
the
city
of
minneapolis?
I
So
I
I'm
rather
reluctant
for
us
in
almost
arbitrarily
putting
forth
an
agenda
that
hasn't
been
discussed
with
political
leadership,
vis-a-vis
city
council
members,
president
of
the
city
council,
or
something
to
see.
If
this
be
this
effort,
this
initiative
is
needed
is
wanted,
wanted
would
be
honored,
and
I
certainly
don't
want
to
see
us
just
hiring
someone
just
for
hiring
sake.
A
Yeah,
those
are
very
valid
concerns,
michael.
We
received
this
money
from
city
council's
vote
on
the
budget,
specifically
to
hire
an
evaluation
consultant,
so
we
do
have
to
do
that
this
year,
with
this
funding
or
the
money
just
goes
away,
so
that
that
is
kind
of
the
the
one
thread
of
connection
to
leadership
and
accountability.
A
In
my
experience,
city
leadership,
whether
elected
or
appointed
higher
up,
they
do
tend
to
receive
sort
of
these
external
expert
recommendations
better
than
they
do
from
staff
or
advisory
committees,
so
that
that
sort
of
you
know
one
area
of
the
power
mapping
structure
where
I
do
feel
some
optimism
around
doing
this
work
is
that
by
having
someone
else's
name
behind
it,
some
sort
of
third
party
yeah,
exactly
anthony
fax,
regardless
of
the
experience
of
any
of
us
here.
A
You
know
that
that's
just
kind
of
how
some
of
this
works,
so
it
may
help
lend
another.
You
know
neutral
voice
or
whatever,
to
what
we're
already
saying
to
leadership
about
what
we,
what
we
need,
or
the
barriers
we're
facing.
So
yeah
totally
hear
your
concerns
very
valid.
There's
not
much.
We
can
do
to
control
that,
but
thinking
of
this,
as
maybe
another
tool
in
our
toolbox.
I
I'd
rather
spend
30
25
50
000
to
have
some
kind
of
environmental
czar.
Who
might
be
that
be
tasked
with
raising
funds
for
the
green
zone
task
force?
You
know
stipends
for
the
community
folks
who
are
involved
in
the
leadership
and
the
ongoing
sustainability
of
this
task
force
and
and
and
certainly
would
like
to
have
that
be
one
of
the
tasks
that
we
charge.
This
person
with
in
terms
of
where
are
our
people
who
are
engaged
from
citizen
engagement,
citizen
leadership?
Are
there
resources
available?
A
Any
other
comments,
and
I'm
particularly
curious
that
there
are
other
concerns
or
things
that
you
think
are
missing
from
the
scope
of
work
or
any
sense
of
like
whether
you're
leaning
one
direction
or
the
other
on
sort
of
the
spectrum
of
resources
like
if
we're
thinking
between
25
and
50
000.
Does
anyone
feel
really
strongly
about
one
way
or
the
other
or
willing
to
kind
of
hear
back
from
the
anyone
who
submits
a
proposal
on
what
they
think
the
work
needs.
D
I
feel
like
I'm
at
risk
of
of
talking
too
much
about
this,
but
I
think
with
michael's
statements
there.
I
I
lean
towards
the
the
25
to
start
and
that
does
leave
us
a
good
chunk
of
funds
to
to
address.
You
know
additional
projects
or
some
of
the
things
even
michael
brought
up
right
there.
So
I'll
start
it
off
and
just
say
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
leaning
towards
personally.
K
A
M
I
would
need
to
look
at
the
scope
a
little
bit
more.
I
do
agree.
The
30
000
is
probably
a
little
bit
more
realistic.
I
don't
know
what
the
time
frame
is
like.
How
long
do
we
anticipate,
because
I
think
that's
also
a
way
to
look
at
things
as
how
many
like,
if
you
talk
about
30
000,
for
example,
you're,
probably
looking
at
realistically
four
to
five
four
to
six
months
worth
of
work,
just
kind
of
figuring
out.
M
What's
a
reasonable
amount
to
pay
someone,
depending
on
the
amount
of
hours
they're
spending,
I
don't
know
to
michael's
point.
I
don't
know
how
much
flexibility
was
given
by
the
council
in
terms
of
reallocating
that
funding
so
kelly,
you
would
you'd
have
a
I
make.
I
haven't
seen
like
the
specific
rule
or
the
specific
budget
item
line
item.
If
you
have
that
that'd
be
helpful.
A
Yeah,
that's
mostly
copied
here
in
at
the
top.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
highlight
it.
H
Yep
and
just
add
kelly,
like
the
the
vetting
process,
has
to
be
really
good
right,
so
being
able
to
get
the
specifics
on
what
we
want.
You
know
so
just
to
add,
because
I
agree
with
what
julie
and
everybody
else
said.
But
how
do
we
vet
that
and
then
how
do
we
get
exactly
what
we
wanted
and
who
can
like
deliver?
That,
I
think,
is
important.
So
I'll
just
add
that.
A
Also
a
good
question,
so
I
think
we
can
be
sort
of
flexible
on
that
I
mean
basically,
boards
and
commissions
can't
technically
make
decisions,
but
the
way
that
the
green
zones
operates
is
very
different
than
a
lot
of
boards
and
commissions,
because,
to
the
extent
that
I
am
able,
you
know,
try
to
support
the
work
that
comes
directly
from
this
group.
A
So
if
there
are
folks
here
who
are
interested
in
being
part
of
that
review
team-
and
you
know
wanting
to
review
proposals
and
and
be
part
of
the
selection
process,
then
yeah,
I
think
any
like
the
not
necessarily
the
more
the
merrier,
because
it
can
make
the
process
take
a
lot
longer.
But
like
definitely
the
the
more
perspective,
it
would
be
very
helpful
in
whether
we're
getting
someone
anthony's
point
who
kelly.
A
Okay,
I
mean
and
then
but
then
to
be,
you
know
completely
transparent.
Ultimately,
it
is
city
staff
that
is
signing
the
contract.
It
is
a
contract
with
the
city
for
that
scope
of
work.
So
we
would
have
to
make
sure
that
whoever
is
providing
the
work
you
know
can
cross
the
t's
dot
the
eyes
they're
like
financially
competent,
you
know,
have
a
good
track
record.
We
check
references
things
like
that
to
make
sure
that
we
would
we
would
get
the
work
done.
M
H
M
Important
for
this
group
to
recommend
to
to
put
it
out
there
to
your
people,
to
people
who
I
mean
there.
Many
people
on
this
call
are
working
on
profit
or
government
and
have
familiarity
with
evaluators,
specifically
evaluators
of
color,
who
are
familiar
with
the
communities
that
we're
talking
about.
So
I
think
that
some
recommendations
and
urging
of
those
individuals
to
apply
for
it
would
be
warranted
big
time.
A
I
Definitely
kelly:
have
you
had
conversations
either
with
other
city
staff
or
some
of
the
folks
from
city
council
in
terms
of
helping
define
the
scope
of
work
finding
out,
you
know
what
their
expectations
are
and
making
sure
that
we've
got
all
of
this
hammered
out
before
we
who
would
who
would
draft
the
the
notice
that
went
to
the
public?
Is
that
your
obvious
responsibility
or
our
responsibility
or
city
personnel's
responsibility.
A
Yeah
it
is,
it
is
my
responsibility.
I
will
be
the
contract
manager
it
will.
The
contract
will
be
within
the
sustainability
office,
so
I
did
send
out
language
that
I
read
just
before
this
about
what
the
current
scope
says
and
what
it
includes
in
terms
of
the
city
council
leadership
who
put
forward
this
recommendation
for
funding.
It
was
council
members,
gordon
and
cano.
Neither
of
them
are
on
the
council
anymore.
So
it's
you
can't
really
go
back
to
them
and
say.
A
Was
this
the
intent
that
you
had
what
we
have
to
go
with
is
the
language
that
they
provided
in
the
budget
amendment,
which
is
that
we
hire
a
consultant
to
work
with
staff
and
green
zone
members
to
assess
the
success
and
challenges
of
the
green
zone's
efforts
and
present
recommendations
for
improvement.
So
as
long
as
we're
within
those
bounds,
I
feel
like
we
are
being
true
to
the
intent
of
what
was
proposed
and
can
kind
of
add,
add
all
the
the
details
and
and
things
to
it
from
there.
A
So
I
do
hope
to
get
this
out
pretty
quick
if
you
do
have
any
other
edits
on
to
the
scope
of
work.
Please
get
those
to
me
as
soon
as
possible,
ideally
by
the
end
of
the
week,
because
it
will
take
probably
at
least
a
month
to
go
through
the
procurement
process
just
to
get
the
proposals
back
and
then
we
have
to
review
them
and
kind
of
to
julie's
point
if
we're
looking.
D
Okay,
yeah,
I
think
I
think
we're
good
on
that,
and
it
does
lead
us
kind
of
right
into
that
next
bullet
point.
As
far
as
the
overall
2022
green
zone
funding,
we
did
in
the
last
meeting.
I
think
we
touched
on
it
right
as
we
were
wrapping
up.
We
did
go
over
the
results
of
the
stipends,
so
the
meeting
stipends
for
greenville
members
and
that
helps
us
solidify
a
little
bit
of
the
budget
going
forward
kelly.
D
If
you
want
to
get
back
to
that
first
page
of
the
spreadsheet,
where
we
have
a
few
different
budget
scenarios
laid
out
there.
I
think
this
is
just
kind
of
more
time
for
review
for
us,
but
I
believe
we're
somewhere
between
oh
correct.
You
must
have
an
updated
one
from
me.
I
was
gonna
say
I
think
we're
between
b
and
c,
but
it
looks
like
you
made
some
edits
that
that
allow
this
to
to
be
more
accurate
right
now,.
A
Yeah,
so
this
has
for
those
who
can
see
this
screen,
it
has
the
stipends
listed
as
30
000
and
then,
depending
on
how
much
this
the
consultant
comes
in
at
there's
kind
of
two
different
scenarios:
either
like
the
twenty
five
thousand
range
or
the
fifty
thousand
range.
A
So
we
can
create
a
scenario
c
here
where
it
fits
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
stipends
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
our
consultant,
then
we
would
have
a
remaining
forty
thousand
to
distribute
amongst
the
other
activities
we
have
going
on
this
year,
whether
that's
the
summit,
billboards
and
other
media
and
then
anything
extra.
We
could
add
into
the
community
projects
funds
which
we
have
fifty
thousand
dollars
separate
set
aside
for
those
for
this
year.
D
A
I
think
it's
helpful
that
we
had
the
conversation
about.
You
know
approximately.
How
much
do
we
think
that
should
go
to
the
consultant,
because
it
gives
us
a
better
idea
of
what
other
funds
we're
working
with?
We
do
know
from
pricing
out
the
billboards
that
it's,
you
know
a
thousand
dollars
per
billboard
per
month,
and
if
we
want
four
of
those
up
for
three
months,
that's
twelve
thousand
dollars
that
adds
up
pretty
quickly.
Angela
is
working
on
some
other
media
options.
We
hope
to
get
some
costs
for
that
out.
A
It'd
be
really
helpful
to
have
sort
of
a
round
estimate
number
for
how
much
we
want
to
spend
on
media.
So
we
could
include
that
and
then
you
know
in
terms
of
green
zone
summit.
We
don't
know
yet
what
costs
we
might
need
to
cover
angela.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
updates
from
meeting
last
week
with
the
community
connection
staff
or
anthony,
if
you
have
anything
to
share
if
we've
been
asked
to
cover
any
food
or
or
other
like
logistical
costs.
Yet.
N
Cheyenne
did
mention
that
maybe
we
could
that
they
have
some
media
space
that
we
might
be
able
to
share
with
them
as
far
as
yeah
and
then
I
well.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
me
to
talk
about
what
me
and
bjorn
as
far
as
the
rfp
and
everything,
maybe
not
but
yeah-
that's
what
we
talked
about
so
she
she
mentioned
that
maybe
we
could
share
some
of
the
advertising
with
them.
H
Yeah-
and
I
can
add,
there
won't
be
a
cost
for
food,
so
ncr
will
pay
for
food
like
right.
Now
we
are
at
the
initial
stage
of
planning,
and
it
was
just
really
good
for
angela
and
kelly
and
leslie
to
be
a
part
of
seeing
a
facility.
So
I
think,
as
we
left
last
week,
it
was
just
you
know
what
the
green
zone
summit
would
look
like.
You
know
and
plan
out
what
that
looks
like.
H
So
what
I
will
tell
folks
is
there's
plenty
of
space,
so
spaces
is
not
an
issue.
It's
just
the
plan
and
angela
did
send
like
an
agenda
of
that
day.
So
really,
as
we
you
know,
continue
to
collaborate
really
it's
up
to
the
green
zone
summit
and
the
people
that
are
planning
to
be
able
to
build
out
what
that
day
looks
like
so.
H
Food
won't
be
an
option,
but
really,
as
we
left
last
week,
is
this:
how
do
you
want
to
build
that
summit
so
and
we
actually
toured
again
today,
just
the
ncr
staff
again,
but
we're
in
initial
stages
of
planning
but
yeah
just
to
put
that
out
there
space
is
not
an
option.
Food
is
not
a
cost,
so.
N
Yeah,
actually,
I
sent
three
proposed
agendas:
yeah
so
yeah.
I
have
that
and
yeah
bjorn
said
we
may
not
need
an
rfp.
If
we
can
use
the
p
card
for
purchasing,
he
did
have
yeah.
He
did
mention
that
so.
C
N
Is
money
on
it
and
yeah
and
he
said
if
we
needed
something
as
long
as
it
didn't
go
over
a
certain
amount,
a
dollar
amount.
We
could
just
use
a
p-card.
So.
O
N
And
what
else
yeah?
I
guess
that's
it
for
me
right
now:
okay,.
A
And
then
I
did
see
an
email.
Leslie
had
been
talking
with
some
other
folks
around
this
media
piece
and
it
sounds
like
there's
an
organization.
That's
gonna
sponsor
the
coloring
book.
So
that's
really
exciting.
That's
not
a
cost
that
we'll
have
to
cover
leslie.
I
don't
know
if
you
saw
that
email.
If
you
want
to
share
anything
anything
about
that.
E
That's
the
sierra
club
and
so
for
the
coloring
books.
It
would
be
for
the
contestants
that
didn't
win
the
billboard
and
the
the
name
of
it
we
would
make
well.
My
ideal
name
would
be
minneapolis
green
zone,
north
side,
green
zone,
environmental
coloring
book
or
something
like
that.
Minneap
north.
You
know
north
side,
coloring
book
and
all
the
contestants
would
they
would
submit
two
drawings,
one
colored
and
one
not
because
in
that
way
it's
easier
to
have
the
put
in
a
coloring
book,
and
angela
said
she
had
some
more
ideas
about
that.
E
N
Okay,
the
only
the
only
ideas
I
had
is
what
I
saw
what
they
had
at
the
library
where
they
had.
You
know
these
that
they
were
giving
away
during
black
history
month
and
just
had
some,
you
know
just
information
and
some
drawings
and
everything
in
it
yeah
I
don't
know.
If
you
can,
I
mean,
maybe
I
can
scan
it
and
email
it
to
people,
but
they
had
that
one
and
then
they
had.
You
know
this
one.
I
thought
this
one
was
decent.
N
You
know
with
all
these
different
people
and
you
know
bell
hooks
and
they
could
color
the
people
in
you
know,
and
I
thought
that
would
be
great
to
just
have
a
bunch
of
have
one
with
a
bunch
of
environmentalists
to
see
if
they
can
identify.
Well,
that's
a
great.
E
N
In
the
community
so
yeah,
this
is
what
yeah.
This
is
what
I
got
from
the
library
you
know
they
have
something
like
this
audrey
lord.
You
know
maybe
some
information
and
you
can
write
some
other
things
so
yeah
when
you
said,
and
then
I
saw
this
at
the
library
I
thought
I
I
didn't
know
how
you
wanted
to
do
it,
but
this
is
what
I
saw.
That's.
J
N
Oh
you're
welcome
and
that
and
I
did
see
an
email
earlier
today.
I
think
mr
cheney
had
forwarded
it
about
someone
who
wanted
to
darn
it.
I
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
email.
I
think
he
cc'd
youtube
kelly
on
it.
It
was
about
a
panel
discussion.
I
I
Yeah,
I've
had
a
number
of
conversations.
I
think
environmental
initiative
is
interested
in
potentially
doing
a
some
kind
of
breakout
group.
I've
talked
with
on
nazir
khan,
who
is
working
on
creating
an
environmental
justice
hub,
and
so
he
is
going
to
be
conferring
with
his
colleagues
to
see
if
they
would
like
to
stage
something
around
around
hit
their
vision
of
what
they'd
like
to
see.
I
I
think
there's
any
number
of
agencies
that
are
within
the
food
farm.
You
know
global
climate
justice,
global
social
justice
that
I
think
what
we.
What
we
are
in
need
of
now
is
a
gent
generic
press
release.
In
fact,
we
did
an
event
either
called
the
green
dawn
and
we
manufactured
just
a
real,
simple
flyer
that
we
distributed
to
people
because
of
course,
time
is
of
the
essence.
I
May
is
not
that
may
seem
a
long
ways
off,
but
it's
really
already
here
and
but
the
more
that
we
can
start
promoting
generally
asking
folks
to
submit
ideas,
the
more
the
more
that
I
think
we
can
raise,
excitement
and
get
people
involved.
There's
some
a
group
of
people
growing
grow
minnesota
mark
ritchie,
who
has
minnesota
an
organization
that
has
been
dialoguing
with
the
un.
I
I
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
solicit
money
to
do
special
projects
like
you
know
that
we
might
be
talking
about.
I
So
I
you
know,
I'm
really
approaching
it
from
presenters
collaborators
underwriters
and
looking
at
it,
not
just
as
a
one
one
and
done,
but
really
can
this
become
kind
of
a
standard
bearer
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
for
the
green
zone
task
force
that
we're
not
just
doing
all
the
work
but
we're
helping,
coordinate
and
facilitate
and
we're
inviting
other
folks
to
who
are
in
the
realm
of
environmental
justice,
environmental
sustainability,
zero
waste,
zero
carbon,
then
can
we
employ
those
people
to
for
them
to
bring
their
own
personnel
their
own
resources
so
that
we
can
make
this
bigger
and
better
this
year
and
in
some
years
to
follow.
H
And
I
agree
mr
cheney
too,
and
and
there's
so
many
like
opportunities
to
be
able
to
do
that
too,
and
even
in
that
exhibit
hall
or
in
any
of
those
breakout
rooms.
This
is
a
really
good
opportunity
to
develop
and
build
something
long-term.
So
I
just
want
to
say
I
agree
with
you.
Yeah.
I
Yes,
yeah,
I
really
see
it
as
an
environmental
expo
on
one
level
where
simply
anybody
and
everybody
that's
in
the
environmental
game.
You
know
whether
or
not
that
you
know
I
I
refer
to
it
as
food
water,
soil,
waste
energy
that
if
we
can
get
people
who
are
mobilized
and
energized
around
those
different
intersections
number
one.
It's
important
that
we
know
as
the
green
zone
who's
on
first
and
who's
on.
Second,
that
we
create
some
kind
of
registry
that
we're
applying
resources.
N
N
Did
anybody
have
a
chance
to
look
at
the
billboard?
The
rules
contest
rules
that
I
put
together,
so
we
can
go
over
that
and
end
the
flyer.
N
Regarding
that,
do
we
need
to
have
a
meeting
another
meeting
to
discuss
that
or
because
I
really
need
everybody's
input
on
that,
because
this
needs
to
get
out
there
as
well.
That.
E
That
had
the
south
side
has
to
be
involved
with
that
too.
N
Okay,
yeah
they,
oh
okay.
So
when
do
we
have
a
meeting
with
them
do
have
we
have?
Have
there
been
any
meetings
with
the
south
side?
Oh.
A
Okay,
we
have
those
quarterly,
so
we
had
one
in
january
and
then
our
next
meeting
on
april
6th
will
be
a
joint
meeting
they're
not
meeting
in
march
because
they
don't
have
enough
members
to
make
quorum.
So
it's
made
very
difficult
for
them
to
like
officially
vote
on
anything.
They
can
provide
feedback
as
individuals.
A
I
have
a
meeting
tomorrow
evening
with
the
two
members
of
their
leadership
team,
so
the
way
that
I've
been
kind
of
handling
the
conversations
back
and
forth
is
we
don't?
Even
if,
since
we
have
such
limited
time
together,
if
as
long
as
both
groups
can
talk
about
it
and
give
feedback
and
all
the
voices
are
are
included,
then
we
can
kind
of
like
move
forward.
Based
on
that,
so
yeah
did
you
want.
N
N
Yeah,
you
can
send
it
to
me.
I
had
a
meeting
with
bjorn
le
yesterday
and
he
gave
me
a
city
connection
because
he
said
they
may
have
some
space
so,
but
but
if
you
have
another
one
or
if
andrew
has
it,
he
can
forward
it
to
me,
someone
can
forward
that
to
me
as
well
to
jump
on
that
as
soon
as
possible.
E
N
Yeah,
the
only
thing
that
I
need
to
kind
of
get
is
what
the
winner
will
receive.
What
is
the
theme
when
should
submissions
be
received
by?
I
know
I
put
it
on
the
timeline
that
I
had
given.
Oh,
that
was
for
the
something
else
yeah.
So
that's
you
know.
I
would
need
that
information
from
everyone
when
our
submission
when
is
going
out
and
when
I
guess
the
information
will
go
out
as
soon
as
I
can
get
feedback
from
the
other
team
can.
E
I
Given
billboards,
you
know,
I'm
I'm
really
advocating
for
public
private
partnerships
that
you
know
government
in
tandem
with
corporate
leadership,
civic
leadership,
and
so
let's
say:
if
we
had
four
billboards,
could
we
find
a
corporate
entity
who
would
be
the
under
underwriter
of
that
billboard
and
so
that
we're
not
necessarily
exhausting
the
green
zone
meager
budget,
but
we're
taking
some
time
to
see
if
folks,
like
bar
engineering
or
some
of
these
large
corporations
center
point
energy
or
some
of
these
large
non-profit
environmental
nonprofits?
I
Could
we
reach
out
to
them
and
see
if
they
would
be
willing
to?
Just
like
you
had
the
sierra
club
willing
to
do
the
coloring
books?
I
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
some
of
the
corporate
leadership
to
come
on
board,
especially
those
that
are
part
of
the
environmental
initiatives
coalition
of
sustainability.
I
You
know
to
approach
some
to
craft
a
letter
to
see
if
some
of
those
corporate
folks
would
be
interested
in
underwriting
our
environmental
messages.
In
partnership
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
green
zones,.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
great
great
reminder,
michael
we
did
have,
or
at
least
I
can't
remember,
leslie
wasn't
you
and
I
had
an
initial
conversation
with
environmental
initiative
about
whether
they
would,
if
whether
they
could
find
partners
to
support
the
billboards
they
thought
they
could.
So
I
think
it's
more.
A
Breaking
up
kelly
kind
of
getting
back
together
with
that
you
know
the
billboard,
design
competition
flyer
ready.
We
can
share
that
with
them
and
say:
here's
here's
more
concretely.
What
we're
doing
you
know
once
we
get
the
designs
back,
do
you
have
some
corporate
sponsors
who'd
be
willing
to
get
these
up
on
billboards
and
pay
for
that?
E
I
think,
besides
the
environmental
initiative,
we
probably
should
reach
out,
like
michael
said,
to
these
other
corporations
too,
like
maybe
even
pillsbury,
and
this
other
foundation
mcknight
or
some
other
people
too,
and
and
see
see
if
they
would
be.
You
know
just
putting
our
hats
out
there
with
a
bunch
of
people
like
michael
suggested.
He
got
good
ideas.
A
Yeah,
and
then
I
you
know,
one
thing
I'll
also
say
is,
I
think,
putting
a
little
bit
of
even
of
our
own
money
if
we
have
to
towards
some
of
this
media
this
year
will
raise
general
awareness
of
the
green
zones
so
that
I
think,
in
the
future,
more
foundations.
More
corporations
will
know
about
the
work
and
want
to
be
part
of
it.
A
N
Only
this
list,
that
of
corporate
sponsors
or
whatever
do
do-
is
there
an
a
form
letter
that
is
already
being
used
or
do
we
have
to
create
one,
and
if
so,
then
I
will
have
to
do
it
like
tomorrow,
because
if
we
need,
if
we
want
corporate
sponsorship,
we're
already
60
days
behind
in
the
request,
so
yeah.
So
if
that
that's
the
only
other
thing
I
have
to
offer.
N
No,
no
just
that
the
agenda
the
agenda
is
proposed,
it's
not
anything
solid
or
whatever
it's
just.
I
was
just
trying
to
put
something
together
to
give
some
ideas
about
how
we
can
use
the
room,
I'm
not
really
sure
how
much
time
we're
going
to
be
doing
each
one
of
the
workshops
or
whatever,
I'm
not
really
sure
I
just
wanted
to
cover
from
10
a.m,
to
3
p.m.
N
So
we
can,
you
know
I'll
I'll,
I'll
resend
them
out
to
everyone
again
and
if
there
are
other
people
that
you
will,
I'm
gonna
put
descriptions
as
well
like
I
said
this
is
just
a
proposed
thing,
so
I'm
gonna
put
descriptions
I'm
going
to
make
it
more
formal,
but
right
now
I'm
just
collecting
all
the
information
and
and
I'll
send
it
out
again
and
and
then
people
can
send
it
back
to
me,
go
over
the
contest
rules
again
see
if
you
have
any
changes
on
that.
N
If
you
want
me
to
change
the
flyer,
I
just
you
know
found
that
this
is
about
environmental
justice.
I
can
change
it,
I
can
make
it
more
lighter
or
whatever
or
if
you
you
know
whatever
the
case
may
be,
so
I
could
go
ahead
and
it's
was
today
tomorrow,
wednesday,
okay,
at
least
by
monday,
or
something
have
everything
ready
to
go.
D
Thanks
for
doing
that,
angela
that
I
mean
I
and
I
didn't
give
a
give
any
feedback
on
that
exactly,
but
I
did
look
it
over
so
I'll
give
it
another
look
and-
and
just
give
you
some
of
my
thoughts.
So
I
appreciate
you
doing
all
that
work.
I
You
know
when
we
did
the
harvesting
the
fruit
of
our
of
our
ancestors
kimball
musk's
organization,
the
big
green
org
had
given
us
five
thousand
dollars.
I
I
went
out
and
raised
another
five
thousand
dollars
to
match
that,
and
I
got
funding
from
folks
like
the
farmers
union,
the
minnesota
department
of
of
of
ag
the
historical
society
environmental
initiative,
a
media
organization
called
the
uptake,
so
you
we
might
be
surprised
how
many
people
out
here,
organizationally
speaking,
businesses
that
might
be
want
to
be
a
partner
in
this
effort
want
to
have
join
in
collaboration
and
so
any
additional
fundraising
that
we
might
do
either
for
the
media
campaign
or
additional
radio
spots.
I
You
know
I
mean
there's
no
shortage
of
work
and
things
that
we
can
do
to
build
onto
this
new
kind
of
the
direction
that
we're
going.
I've
actually
been
having
conversations
with
the
capri
theater
about
doing
a
spoken
word:
monthly
activity
for
youth,
framed
around
environmental
justice,
social
justice,
climate
justice,
they're,
very
interested.
I
I've
had
a
conversation
with
am
950.
There's
a
show
out.
There
called
food
justice,
radio
and
they're
very
interested,
and
I'm
talking
with
them
about
a
ongoing
radio
program
that
could
be
a
platform
for
each
of
our
individual
organizations,
but
also
we're
a
platform
for
for
the
green
zone.
I
And
if
it's
not
a
radio,
show
we're
going
to
be
talking
with
kmoj
freddie
bell
about
joining
forces
with
us,
so
that
not
only
just
for
this
upcoming
summit,
but
I
think
it
behooves
us
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
now
to
really
even
build
bridges
that
will
extend
beyond
just
may
21st
and
the
work
that
we
do
in
terms
of
trying
to
engage
people.
Now.
I
I
I
think
that
there
is
a
life
for
us
beyond
may
21st,
and
I
think
we
should
be
thinking
long
term
in
terms
of
how
do
we
bring
all?
How
do
we
get
all
the
boats
rolling
ashore
in
the
same
direction?
And
how
do
we
get
as
many
different
organizations
and
institutions
to
really
start
thinking?
Green,
acting,
green
and
learning
from
the
green
zone
task
force.
E
Okay,
well,
I'm
gonna
are
you
finished
angela,
yeah
yeah,
I'm
done
okay
piggybacking
off
of
what
michael
has
been
saying,
I'm
trying
to
create
two
committees,
and
I'm
just
gonna,
speak
on
both
of
them
together
because
of
time
I
wanna
be
the
communications
committee
and
another
one
is
a
grant
writing
the
communications
is
because
I've
been
making
contact
kelly
and
I,
with
radio
stations
and
because
of
the
event
coming
up,
and
I,
the
awareness
of
the
green
zones
is
important
to
me,
because
people,
including
their
grant,
writing
the
green
zones
and
we
don't
get
any
money
or
nobody
comes
back
so
to
get
the
money
fairly
distribute
to
us.
E
I
think
that
we
should
have
a
committee
and
we
write
our
own
grants
when
the
money's
available
having
in
our
pot
and
people
like
michael
yolanda
roxanne,
michelle
anybody
wants
to
apply
even
any
other
entities
outside
the
our
group
itself,
but
any
other
organizations
that
want
to
apply
for
grants
and
funding
that
we
could
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
that
funding
and
give
that
or
stipends
to
different
youth
workers
or
anything
to
create
our
own,
our
own
entity,
our
own,
be
our
own
zones
and
to
detach
I
I
thinking
being
detached
from
the
ejcc
or
ejcc's,
because
their
name
is
attached
to
us
and
do
be
the
minneapolis
north
side
green
zone
and
stand
on
our
own.
E
E
Members
with
roxanne
and
michael
michelle,
yolanda
those
people
and
and
have
them
and
george
georgian,
have
have
the
original
a
photograph
and
say
this
is
a
green
zone
and
then,
with
our
communication,
have
spokespersons
that
we
would
vote
on
and
to
represent
us
to
be
able
to
speak
for
us
as
a
whole
and
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
and
form
our
own.
Our
own
thing
and
that's
what
these
commit.
E
These
two
entities
is
what
I'm
trying
to
form
to
build
our
own
independence,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
have
to
vote
on
it
or
I
can
just
try
to
you-
know,
write
work
on
writing
grants
with
the
help
of
michelle.
I
mean
not
michelle,
but
kelly
and
angela
because
of
the
staff
and
maybe
the
other
leaderships
or
anybody
wants
to
be
involved.
So
then
that,
because
there's
money
and
march
is
a
deadline
for
a
couple
of
them.
E
We
passed
on
some
of
them
and
I
found
out
we
couldn't
get
in
there
because
somebody
had
used
our
name,
so
it
took
a
process
for
me
to
even
get
in
there.
So
I
missed
two
grant
proposals
that
we
could
have
been
a
part
of
to
get
money
so
generating
money
for
ourselves
is
one
of
the
goals
that
I
see
for
us,
as
well
as
our
own
communications
to
represent
us
and
to
be,
you
know,
form
us
to
help
our
community
and
not
be
excluded
and
to
include
everybody.
E
If
all
and
that's
all
I
want
to
say
about
that-
and
I
don't
know
if
we
need
a
vote
on
that
and
then
maybe
looking
for
another
person
to
be
able
to
distribute
our
funds,
I
was
thinking.
Maybe
the
initiative
kelly
mentioned
somebody
else,
and
if
anybody
else
has
somebody
else
that
maybe
we
could
use
to
distribute
funds
for
us
and
then
that
way
we
won't
be
we'll
be
detaching
from
the
ejcc
and
that's
my
thoughts
and
please.
N
A
Yeah,
we
don't
have
to
take
any
formal
vote.
You
know,
I
think,
similar
to
how
we've
been
working
on
the
green
zone
summit
and
the
community
air
monitoring.
A
If
leslie,
if
you
feel
like
you,
have
the
initiative
and
you
want
to
set
up
a
conversation
with
folks,
you
know
go
ahead
and
invite
any
of
the
green
zone
members
to
join
if
anyone's
interested
in
either
of
those.
I
see
you
know
michelle
typed
in
you
know,
they're
both
great
ideas,
if
anyone
says,
is
thinking
yeah
I'd,
be
interested
in
more
conversations
about
communications
in
your
media
or
grant
writing
feel
free
to
type
that
in
the
chat
and
then
leslie
will
know
specifically
to
follow
up
with
you.
A
But
assuming
you
don't
mind
another
email
or
two
every
couple
weeks.
You
know
it
could
just
be
something
we
send
out
to
everyone
and,
if
you're
available
join
in
the
conversation.
A
A
Money
power
plan
podcast
or
something
that
jake
verdon
does
out
of
hope
community.
He
does
a
lot
on
environmental
justice
he's
in
he's
interviewed
roxanne
a
couple
times.
They've
done
some
some
podcasts
about
upper
harbor
terminal
and
the
roof
depot
in
south
minneapolis,
and
I
don't.
A
E
Well,
I
got
a
question:
would
the
original
green
zone
task
force
members
be
interested
in
a
photo
shoot
if
I
was
able
to
get
money
to
do
a
photo
shoot
and
angela
did
a
great
job
on
that
poster?
But
to
have
your
pictures
there,
the
green
zone
task
force
with
some
wordage
with
the
originals,
and
I
mean
even
the
city
workers-
are
the
originals
would
be
interested
in
having
your
photograph
on
on
something
like
that.
I
Well,
I
don't
think
it
has
to
be.
I
don't
think
it
has
to
be
the
originals.
I
think
that
the
current
green,
you
know
there
was
nothing
sacrosanct
about
the
originals,
but
I
mean
the
green
zone.
North
side,
south
side
exists
now
and
any
any
promotion.
You
know
I
mean
meet
the
green
zone.
Members
I
mean
there's,
there's
a
whole
whole
podcast
in
and
of
itself
a
whole
radio
show
of
itself
a
whole
billboard
campaign
of
itself.
You
know
to
really
profile
the
current
members,
so
I
I
don't
think
it
has
to
be.
I
J
I
E
So
would
everybody
be
interested
if
I
could
get
some
money
for
a
photo
shoot
and
I'll
probably
put
that?
Well,
I
know
emails
are
a
lot,
so
maybe
just
the
committee
and
include
everything
and
have
asked
kelly
to
send
one
mass
email
out
for
everybody
and
then
you
can
join
in
if
you,
if
you're
interested,
I
can
I'll
look
for
funds
for
that
too.
I
So
I
would,
I
would
suggest
that
we're
now
here
in
march
april,
may
that
we
should
really
have
somebody
work
on
putting
together
a
press
release
that
could
be
gotten
into
insight.
North
news,
you
know,
maybe
with
the
picture
of
the
green
zone,
current
members,
but
we
should
have
we.
We
need
to
get
that
done
yesterday
and
because
these
monthly
periodicals,
you
know,
operate
on
a
month
span,
and
so
this
is
this
is
march
we
missed
march.
I
We've
got
only
one
month
between
us
and
this
event
that
would
be
timely
and
relevant.
So
we
really
need
to
either
talk
to
insight
and
some
of
these
folks
either
in
thinking
in
terms
of
just
doing
a
general
press,
press
release
or
potentially
even
talking
about
paying
for
some
ad
space
to
promote
the
up.
The
environmental
summit.
E
That's
exactly
what
I've
been
doing
and
I
had
to
wait
to
get
to
everybody
to
see
who
would
want
to
be
on
that
part
of
the
communications
team
to
write
a
press
release,
because
that's
what
wcco?
E
I
heart,
radio
camel
j
everybody
wants
this
information,
and
so
that's.
What's
the
communication
was
about
so
you're
right.
It
needed
to
be
done
a
while
ago
because
of
the
summit,
but
we
can
probably
get
this
committee
going,
probably
hopefully
within
the
next
week,
and
it
shouldn't
be
that
much
to
write
down,
but
that's
the
whole
purpose.
So
then
that
way,
when
we
do
hit
the
advertisements
or
whatever
people
have
that
spokes
voice,
as
well
as
the
press
release.
I
Well,
I
heart,
I
heart
radio,
isn't
some
deep
doo-doo
for
some
of
their
ins,
insensitive
comments
around
black
life
matters
and
some
of
those
issues
you
know
I
would.
I
would
go
to
them
and
really
have
their
staff
help
us
do
some
psas
and
which
are
you
know,
radio,
radio,
promos
that
can
be
aired
on
the
hour
or
on
a
schedule
and
even
see
if
they
have
some
staff
folks.
That
would
be
interested
in
partnering
with
the
green
zone
task
force
so
that
they
can
kind
of
clean
up
their
act.
I
You
know
because
they
are
actually
folks
in
a
in
a
current
lawsuit
and
certainly
some
bad
press
about
some
of
their
leadership.
A
Okay
good
to
know.
Well,
I
will
note
that
we
are
at
seven.
I've
come
to
the
end
of
our
meeting.
I
did
drop
into
the
chat
if
you
have
access
to
it.
The
link
to
the
green
zone.
Leadership
evaluation
form
I'll,
also
send
this
out
by
email
for
folks
who
are
on
the
phone
or
can't
see
the
screen
or
access
the
chat
right
now,
and
then
there
were
a
number
of
announcements
at
the
included
in
the
agenda
in
the
email
that
I
sent
out
so
make
sure
to
check
those
out.
A
Minneapolis
food
action
plan,
which
has
been
a
work
in
progress
for
three
years,
has
a
survey
available
right
now
you
could,
if
you
fill
the
survey,
you'll
be
entered
to
win
a
fifty
dollar
grocery
gift
card
and
it'll
be
incorporated.
The
food
action
plan
will
be
incorporated
into
the
city's
climate
action
plan
update
coming
up.
So
this
is
a
very
big
policy
document
for
an
important
environmental
justice
topic.
A
Another
announcement
trees
are
available
now
in
north
side.
Specifically,
the
city
has
funding
for
some
free
tree
planting,
so
check
out
the
link
that
I
sent
out.
The
request
form
for
that
anyone
outside
of
north
they
can
order
a
30
tree
online
if
you're
in
the
green
zones.
You
get
first
dibs
on
selecting
your
tree
and
there
are
several
other
announcements,
including
anyone
who
wants
to
sign
up
to
be
a
vendor
or
have
a
table
at
the
community
connections
conference.
I
L
E
Okay,
real
quick.
I
want
to
say
this
because
of
what's
happened.
We
have
the
deaf
and
one
of
the
members
and
what
nida's
going
to
do?
Do
you
think
we
can
have
like
a
little
bereavement
funding
like
to
send
these
families
plants
or
even
buy
a
tree
in
that
garden
and
that
roxanne
started
over
there?
For
some
of
the
youth?
You
know
that
passed
away
a
memories,
something
from
the
green
zones.
E
A
A
great
idea,
michael,
is
the
family
trees
still
doing
that
as
an
idea
of
planting
a
tree
in
in
memory
of
somebody.
I
There's
some
of
that
that's
going
on.
Certainly
that
was
an
initiative
that
we
birthed
it's
going
to
with
earth
day
coming
up,
there'll
be
kind
of
a
resurgence
of
that
so
yeah
there's
some
of
that
going
on.
I've
got
a
commitment
from
some
folks
over
at
patagonia,
who
also
want
to
donate
a
bunch
of
trees
to
project
sweetie
pie
through
this
or
national
organization.
So
I'll
be
sending
out
me
email
to
that
effect,
but
yeah
you
should
reach
out
to
erica
and
analya.
K
A
Okay,
all
right
great
ideas:
let's
follow
up
on
that,
so
I
can
follow
up
with
erica
and
nalia
and
georgiana.
If
you
can
send
me,
the
contact
information
for
olson
park
that'd
be
great.
I
You
know
earth
day
is
earth
day
is
on
the
way,
so
maybe
the
green
zone.
We
ought
to
be
talking
about
what
that
might
look
like
what
that
might
mean
for
us
as
an
agency
as
an
institution.
A
B
Serving
on
the
northern
green
zone,
leadership
team-
and
I
think
that
leslie
is
grown
and
shining
and
andrew
has
to
so.
I
have
most
confident
in
the
two
of
them
continuing
to
lead
this
team.
God
bless
you.
I
love
you
with
my
whole
heart
every
member
of
this
board
and
I'll,
be
here
until
the
end
of
my
term,
and
then
I
will
be
leaving
okay.
