A
We
do
not
have
a
dense
agenda
this
evening,
I'm
happy
to
say
as
most
months
we
really
really
do,
and
so
I
think
there
are
a
few
really
cool
things
that
we're
gonna
hear
about
some
updates
and
a
public
art
project.
That's
nearing
completion
that
we're
gonna
get
a
short
presentation
about.
That
will
be
great,
but
I
think
we
we
may
get
done
early.
I
don't
wanna
make
promises,
I
can't
keep,
but
it's
it
if
it's
more
likely
this
evening
than
it
has
been
in
many
months.
A
B
A
Okay,
sorry,
I
hope
I
got
my
little
script
here.
Okay,
good
evening,
my
name
is
joan
vorderbergen
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d
021,
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
rule
that
may
verify
the
presence.
C
A
A
A
F
H
I
E
A
Aye
that
motion
passes
thanks.
Everybody
welcome
to
february's
edition
of
the
minneapolis
arts,
commission
general
meeting
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
introductions
starting
out
with
commissioners
we'll
do
what
we
typically
do
and
just
tag
each
other.
So
I'd
love
if
everyone
could
turn
their
cameras
on
for
just
a
moment
if
you're
able
to
if
you
can't
no
worries
and
just
warn
each
other,
just
pick
the
next
person
to
go
and
so
an
introduction
I
we
may
have
someone
on.
A
Let
me
quick
look
unless
that
we
may
have
someone
on
that's
new
to
us,
so
let's
kind
of
wait
and
see
if
who's
all
here
through
these
introductions.
But
please
say
your
word,
your
pronouns
and
then
any
updates.
You
have
anything
you
want
to
share
briefly
I'll,
keep
it
open
your
choice
so
who
would
like
to
begin.
G
It's
just
done
muting
I
felt
it.
I
felt
your
vibe
electronically,
hello,
mandy
bedbury.
I
am
in
ward
10..
I
am
on
the
commission
as
an
artist,
and
I
have
a
show
coming
up
this
saturday.
If
you
guys
want
to
come,
see
a
show
with
a
brand
new
improv
company
called
legends,
improv
theater
and
we
perform
at
10
pm
it's
a
late
one
gotta
drink
your
coffee
at
10
p.m,
at
bryant
lake
bowl.
G
It's
a
fantastic
group
of
amazing
artists,
improv
artists
that
is
so
come
on
out
and
you
can
get
there
early
at
dinner
or
you
can
get
there
at
9
30
and
have
dinner
and
watch
the
show
at
the
same
time,
because
bryant
lake
bowl
has
a
tiny
little
theater
in
the
back.
So
that's
my
shameless
plug
and
I'm
gonna
tag.
Commissioner
brinkman.
J
Hello
crystal
brinkman,
she
her
hers
living
in
ward,
one,
and
I
just
I've,
been
pretty
energized
by
this
commission
work.
I
have
to
say
this
week
and
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
feeling
okay
about
doing
things
in
public
like
going
to
the
art
opening
at
all
my
relations
tomorrow
evening,
really
looking
forward
to
that
steve
promo
and
I
will
tag
commissioner
vorderbergen.
A
All
right
that
came
around
fast,
joan
vorderbergen
serving
ward
seven.
She
her
hers.
Let's
see
my
mom
got
her
fourth
vaccine
and
today
her
doctor
said
that
he
could
see
an
immune
response
to
the
shot,
which
is
like
a
really
huge
deal
for
a
person
like
me,
because
she
has
cancer
and
is
immunosuppressed
and
my
husband
and
I
are
going
to
try
to
get
an
additional
shot
tomorrow
because
we're
j
j
victims
from
last
spring.
So,
if
all
goes
well,
I
am
just
feeling
like.
A
K
Thanks
john
lana,
aylesworth,
ward
lovin,
she
her
hers
and
I'm
an
arts
enthusiast
on
the
commission
and
I'm
excited
to
be
enthusiastic
about
art.
Again
I
I
went
to
a
show
y'all,
I
I
did
it.
I
left
the
house,
it
happened.
It's
been
a
it's
been
a
big
week
very
exciting
and
I'm
exciting
to
do
a
little
bit
more
work
in
the
schools.
Now
that
things
are
reopening
to
allow
volunteers,
and
so
as
part
of
mia's
art
adventures,
I
am
a
teacher
in
both
hail
and
field
school.
K
So
I
get
to
talk
to
kids
from
kindergarten
through
fifth
grade
about
art,
which
I
I
find.
I
really
love
the
the
fresh
perspective.
That
brings
so
that's
new
to
me,
and
also
I
got
to
you
know
virtually
rub:
elbows
by
email
with
former
commissioner
kelvin,
who
is
also
doing
some
volunteer
coordinating
at
hale.
K
Like,
oh,
my
worlds
are
colliding
it's
great.
How
awesome
is
hail
that
they
have
two
arts
commissioners
volunteering
to
come
into
kids
classrooms
and
how
awesome
is
it
for
us
to
hear
that
perspective?
So
it's
reminding
me
very
firmly
in
the
time
of
in
a
volatile
time
in
minneapolis
schools
that
teachers
are
really
putting
it
together
every
day
for
our
kids.
So
that's
my
story.
This
week,
I'm
gonna
tag
mari.
I
M
M
If
any
of
you
have
seen
it,
I
don't
get
it
at
home,
but
just
beautiful
heartwarming,
heart-wrenching
movie,
and
there
were
like
four
people
in
the
theater,
so
I
felt
really
safe
and
you
had
to
be
that
you
know
you
had
to
show
your
card
and
everything,
and
so
it
was
a
very
safe
experience,
but
that's
the
first
time
I've
been
to
the
theater
in
two
years,
so
that
was
pretty
fun.
The
other
thing,
maybe
some
of
you
saw
it,
was
conservatory.
M
Did
any
of
you
see
it
as
part
of
the
great
northern
festival.
It
was
the
kind
of
the
conservatory
in
an
alley
in
downtown
st
paul,
and
it
was
encased
in
ice
like
in
an
ice
igloo.
It's
just
really
really
cool.
I
you
know
I
just
thought
who
thinks
of
this
stuff,
I
think
of
that
a
lot
and
it's
gone
now.
Of
course,
it
was
left
to
to
melt
as
part
of
the
festival,
but
I
thought
that
was
something
really
extraordinary
for
this
art
scene,
so
I
enjoyed
that
a
lot.
E
I
got
to
meet
with
my
council
person
with
crystal
a
few
days
ago,
so
it
was
really
interesting
to
talk
to
councilmember
payne
and
see
what
some
of
his
plans
were
both
in
the
art
scene
and
surrounding.
He
has
a
really
really
interesting
arts
background.
He
worked
in
called
goons
department,
I
believe,
before
running
for
office,
so
it
was
pretty
interesting
to
hear
and
I've
been
taking
a
pottery
class
with
the
minneapolis
community
ed.
So
that's
been
fun
too
starting
to
do
that
again,
I
will
tag
ahaba.
H
Hello,
everyone
I
have
a
silky
jones,
she
her
hers.
I
represent
ward
7.,
I'm
feeling
so
inspired
by
hearing
about
everyone's
artistic
endeavor.
So
it's
just
fun
to
have
things
that
every
that
everyone
is
getting
excited
about.
We
have
our
first
in-person
performance
at
the
school
since
pre-covet
I
wanna
say
possibly.
H
That
is
that
everybody
is
just
really
excited
about
our
show,
choir
jazz
band
and
our
academy.
Kids
like
performing
arts
troupe,
will
be
performing
a
week
from
tuesday.
So
I'm
imagining
a
really
loud
large
audience
out
of
just
pure
excitement
for
a
live
performance,
and
then
also
I
had
the
pleasure
of
participating
in
a
really
inspiring
board
retreat
for
the
rojo
collective
a
few
weeks
ago.
That
just
got
me
really
engaged
and
saw
commissioner
swinton
there
and
just
excited
for
some
of
the
things
to
come
this
year.
H
N
N
So
that
was
good
and
something
I'm
looking
forward
to
tonight
after
this
lucy
I'm
going
to
to
a
movie
at
the
walker,
zola
and
part
of
the
spirit
awards.
So
that's
how
he
kind
of
fell
in
love
with
the
walker
you
know
through
the
through
the
film
club.
So
we
have
not
seen
any
any
of
the
films
we
haven't
been
been
there.
You
know
in
a
couple
of
years
now
so
I'm
excited
to
go
back
and
hopefully
it
is
safe.
D
B
Hello,
sorry,
I
just
got
a
message
when
you
called
on
me
sorry
about
that,
I'm
tina
beach.
I
provide
the
administrative
support
for
the
arts,
commission
and
a
I
haven't
been
to
any
shows
or
anything
exciting
like
that.
So
mary
and
I
are
now
officially
back
in
the
office.
All
city
staff
started
monday,
so
we're
back
at
least
one
day
a
week.
I've
been
going
in
for
the
last
few
months,
so
it's
not
a
big
mary
as
well.
O
Hi
hi
everyone,
mary,
I'm
not
in
the
office
today,
but
I
am
in
the
office
a
lot
and
it's
nice
to
see
people
coming
in.
Let's
see
mary
altman
public
art
supervisor,
she
her
hers,
I'm
not
gonna
tell
you
what
I'm
excited
about
in
terms
of
art
stuff,
because
I
will
be
doing
that
when
I
talk
about
samatar
crossing
tonight,.
L
N
F
F
See
it
there,
but
I
did
have
a
fun
artistic
weekend.
You
know
in
the
midst
of
all
the
the
drama
and
the
trauma
that
our
city
has
been
been
experiencing
these
past
couple
years,
really,
but
particularly
these
past
couple
of
weeks,
so
it
was
good
to
get
out
and
see
some
art.
I
went
to
a
show
at
squirrel
house
called
safeword,
which
was
quite
amazing
and
I
think
one
of
the
commissioners
helped
organize
it
mary
and
then
on
on
sunday.
F
F
Thank
you
so
much,
which
was
an
incredible
just
physical,
emotional,
visual
experience
and
very
inspiring
work
so
to
just
you
know,
see
how
she
is
approaching
human
ethnographies
and
interspersing
that
with
global
geography
and
global
uprisings
and
all
the
things
that
that
she's
mapping
out
in
her
process.
It's
quite
incredible
exhibition.
A
Well,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
being
here
and
we
do
have
a
poet
laureate
work
group
update
on
our
agenda.
It
is
actually
after
the
next
item,
which
is
an
update
about
new
commissioners.
So
is
there
anybody
still
on
the
call
that
didn't
get
a
chance
to
give
an
introduction
that
that
is
here.
A
Okay
with
that,
I
think
we
can
move
forward
an
update
about
new
commissioners.
We,
the
I'm,
not
sure
what
we're
calling
ourselves,
but
the
application
committee
or
the
the
candidate
committee
met
with
several
candidates,
along
with
a
senior
policy
aide
for
council
president
jenkins,
diba,
siddhar
and
also
rebecca.
A
I
apologize
I'm
not
remembering
her
last
name
at
the
moment,
but
we,
I
can't
remember,
remember
we
interviewed
four
or
five
different
folks
and
we
are
moving
two
individuals
forward
that
we're
really
excited
about
tina.
Would
it
be
okay
for
me
to
just
quickly
call
on
you
to
just
give
a
brief
explanation
about
kind
of
where
we
are
with
next
steps
about
moving
that,
like
the
formal
process
of
moving
those
folks
forward
onto
the
vision.
B
Oh
sure
so
I
had
the
rca
created
and
I
was
trying
to
get
it
submitted
to
the
clerk's
office
for
appointment
for
the
returning
commissioners.
In
addition
to
the
two
new
appointed
commissioners
and
I
received,
I
talked
to
anita
in
the
clerk's
office
and
she
said
that
they're
going
to
hold
all
appointments
of
board
and
commissions
until
after
april,
so
everybody's
kind
of
on
hold,
so
even
the
ones
that
have
expired
that
are
returning.
You
can
still
serve.
That's
not
a
problem.
B
Your
reappointment
just
is
not
official
until
we
get
it
through
the
bihc
and
city
council,
so
so
yeah,
so
we're
on
hold
with
the
new
the
two
new
applicants
that
you
guys
want
to
move
forward,
we're
on
hold
with
those
until
april.
So
I
will
keep
everyone
posted
so
as
of
now,
we
can't
we're
not
gonna
post
any
openings
or
anything.
They
don't
want
to
do
any
any
movement
with
any
boards
and
commissions
right
now.
B
I
think
it's
just
too
much
with
the
new
commissioners
or
the
new
council
members
that
came
in
with
the
clerk's
office
and
trying
to
get
them
settled
and
adjusted
so
put
any
appointments
on
hold
for
now.
So
so
we'll
just
move
forward
until
we
can
get
those
appointed
and
then
we'll
we'll
try
to
resubmit
our
vacant
seats.
Once
we
get
those
people
reappointed
and
appointed.
A
Thank
you
tina,
and
I
think
what
I
had
intended
to
do
then
was
just
reach
out
and
meet
with
each
of
those
nominated
commissioners.
I'm
not
sure
what
the
official
title
would
be
in
their
while
they're
sort
of
in
limbo,
but
just
meet
with
them
one-on-one
and
answer
any
questions
they
have
and
hopefully
keep
them
engaged
and
invite
them
to
sit
in
on
our
meetings
like
they
can
definitely
come
and
listen.
They
just
don't
have
any
voting
they're
not
able
to
vote
so
that
would
be
the
limitation.
A
K
K
In
addition
to
the
document
we
had
for
the
poet
laureate
ship
as
a
recommendation
for
the
new
department
once
formed,
we
had
also
met
with
golgoon
just
to
talk
about
timeline
and
touch
base
on
where
the
new
department
stands,
and
we
are
hoping
that
that
job
description
for
a
director
position
and
potentially
some
candidates
for
that
for
that
work
to
move
forward
would
be
in
quarter
one.
We
received
an
update
that
it
likely
would
be
longer
than
that
too.
K
I
also
have
meetings
on
the
books
with
mary
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
some
budgeting
questions
we
have
and
we
have
a
request
into
golgo
and
to
reconnect
once
again
on
any
updates.
We
might
have
on
the
formation
of
the
new
department
and
what
the
timeline
looks
like
they're
in
and
then
we'll
be
meeting
again
in
early
march
to
brainstorm
from
there.
I'd
also
like
to
note
that
this
project
has
is
being
overseen
by
the
policy
and
advocacy
group
as
well.
K
So,
in
addition
to
the
poet
laureate
work
group
that
we
have,
that
includes
commissioners
and
also
members
from
the
community
things
like
hennepin
county
libraries,
literary
center,
we're
also
continuing
that
conversation
monthly
with
our
policy
and
advocacy
work
groups
just
so
that
we
have
another
form
of
accountability
to
follow
up
on
this
council.
President
jenkins,
do
you
have
anything
else
that
you'd
like
to
add
at
this
time
thanks
so
much
for
coming.
F
F
F
We
know
that
the
young
voices
out
here
are
really
calling
for
change,
calling
for
just
more
awareness
of
the
issues
that
are
really
deeply
impacting
our
communities
and
so
lifting
up
those
voices,
I
think
is-
is
really
critically
important.
I'm
I'm
so
glad
that
we're
going
to
be
now
in
the
same
league
as
some
of
our
other
cities
in
the
state,
duluth
saint
paul.
Finally,
minneapolis
will
be
in
that
number,
so
just
wanna.
Thank
you
guys
for
the
work.
F
F
I
would
say,
as
as
mary,
discussed
or
tina,
I
think
we're
literally
just
coming
back
to
the
office
this
past
monday
and
even
that's
still
a
flexible
kind
of
arrangement
where
people
can
can
certainly
act
to
work
at
home
if
they
don't
feel
comfortable
being
in
the
office.
But
you
know,
as
we
settle
in
as
a
new
council,
and
it
is
it
it
it
really.
I
mean
there's
this
continuation
of
work.
F
F
F
We've
been
talking
about
rent,
stabilization
and
public
safety
and
police
departments,
and
all
of
these
really
critically
important
topics,
and
I
believe
the
arts
conversation
is
right
up
there
with
the
most
important
conversations
that
we
need
to
be
having
as
a
city
and
so
that
work
is
going
to
get
get
started
pretty
soon.
And
that's
why
I
wanted
to
check
in
tonight
and
try
to
understand
where
the
work
group
is
at
and
ways
that
I
can
be
supportive
and
lift
that
up
and
and
keep
that
moving
forward.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
We
so
appreciate
you
dropping
by
tonight.
It's
really
means
a
lot
to
us,
and
I
know
for
those
of
you
on
the
call
who
are
not
aware.
Council,
president
jenkins
was
once
a
minneapolis
arts,
commissioner,
as
well,
and
so
has
done
spent
time
in
this
particular
position,
just
as
we
are
today,
and
so
let
that
be
an
inspiration
to
you
all
and
to
understand
that
the
ties
to
the
arts
council
president
jenkins
is
also
a
practicing
artist
and
literary
successful
literary
superstar
in
the
community
and
nationally.
A
O
I
just
wanted
to
add,
because
I
think
the
council
president
will
probably
leave
before
this,
but
we
we
are
talking
about
the
samatar
crossing
design
tonight,
which
includes
artworks
by
five
poets
and
so
and
in
the
coming
months.
The
poets
will
be
drafting
works
for
the
peace,
and
I
think
that
that
will
be
a
good
way
to
engage.
The
poet
laureate
work
group
on
talking
about
poetry,
to
be
incorporated
into
public
art.
In
the
meantime,
as
they're
ramping
up
to
work
on
the
poet
laurie
project,.
O
O
G
A
Well,
it's
cool
to
see
a
project
in
action
too,
where
we
can
imagine
our
poet
laureate
could
be
of
great
influence,
and
so
it's
it's
just
a
great
reminder
that
our
public
art
portfolio
and
the
public
artwork
that's
moving
forward
that
this
can
be
a
really
great
place
for
the
poet
laureate
to
give
focus
in
the
future.
So
that's
great
yeah.
F
A
A
Well,
that
was
delightful.
Thank
you
to
I'm
not
sure
who
it
was.
I'm
gonna
assume
it
may
be,
commissioner
mansfield
that
extended
that
invitation,
maybe
whoever
did,
but
that
was
really
nice
to
have
her
on
the
call.
Was
there
any
other
just
to
get
back?
Was
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
for
commissioner
ailsworth?
I
know
we
kind
of
moved
on,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
everybody
had
a
chance.
A
Okay,
okay,
awesome.
So
item
number
three
is
a
retreat
summary,
which
we
do
not
have
for
you
today,
but
because
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
scheduling
gaffa
and
we
have
rescheduled
for
the
23rd
from
four
to
six,
so
the
executive
committee
will
be
meeting
for
two
hours
to
discuss.
I
think
it's
about
six
or
seven
questions
that
we
have
on
our
agenda.
A
That
are
some
deep
thinking
about
how
the
commission
will
be
a
value
add
to
the
development
of
the
new
department,
how
we
might
be
able
to
involve
the
public
in
our
roles
with
that
process
and
then
looking
forward
to
some
longer
term
goal
aspirational
goals,
two
and
five
years
ahead,
we'll
see
kind
of
where
those
conversations
take
us.
But
I'm
excited
that
everyone
was
willing
to
reschedule
and
our
next
meeting.
We
will
have
a
better
update
for
you
about
that.
Any
questions.
A
A
O
And
these
are
the
overall
project
goals,
I'm
not
going
to
read
them
to
you.
Indeed,
I'm
not
going
to
read
every
word
to
you,
but
it
focuses
really
on
the
immigrant
experiences
of
past
and
present
residents
and
it
connects
elliott
park
and
the
west
bank,
both
of
which
have
been
home
to
immigrants
for
many
many
many
many
years,
particularly
the
west
bank
has
most
recently,
but
you
know
for
a
very
long
time
been
a
place
where
immigrants
come
when
they
first
moved
to
minneapolis.
O
O
Hussein
samatar,
as
the
council
president
noted,
was
on
the
school
board.
He
was
also
on
the
library
board,
but
what
he's
really
most
known
for
is
really
developing
african
american
businesses,
particularly
businesses
near
the
west
bank,
where
he
created
a
a
non-profit
called
the
african
development
center,
but
it
was
really
revered
in
the
community
and
died.
Early
of
cancer
was
a
really
good
friend
of
rt
ryback
and
rt.
O
O
So
the
artwork
they've
designed
is
called
common
currents
and
I
am
not
going
to
read
the
description,
but
I
really
encourage
you.
If
you
haven't,
if
you
haven't
read
the
description
you
should
do
so.
The
artist
did
a
really
beautiful
job
writing
about
the
artwork
but,
as
I
described
and
cited
at
the
two
ends
in
these
grassy
median
areas,
so
the
really
narrow
area
between
the
walking
path
and
the
bike
path,
one
on
each
side
of
the
bridge.
O
So
this
is
the
concept:
it's
a
corten
steel
and
painted
steel
wave-like
structure
that
will
be
at
both
locations.
The
exact
final
form
and
colors
have
not
been
finalized.
They're
working
with
hussein,
samatar's
wife
to
develop
a
palette
of
color.
That
would
have
that
he
would
have
liked.
He
was
really
passionate
about
color
and
had
color
everywhere
in
his
life.
O
There
are
these
crescent-like
forms
on
the
waves
which
will
hold
the
poems,
and
this
is
just
an
extremely
rough
layout-
of
what
it
would
look
like
to
have
a
poem
on
the
crescent.
As
I
said,
the
poems
haven't
been
created.
Yet,
although
this
is
a
poem
that
ifra
mansour,
one
of
the
artists
has
been
working
on,
that
is
about
hussein
samatar
and
that
might
end
up
being
included.
But
this
is
a
really
rough
sketch.
O
It's
not
what
it's
going
to
look
like
so
ipra
is
in
the
process
of
selecting
five
different
poets
from
a
broad
range
of
cultures,
she's
connecting
with
poets
right
now,
and
I
think
she
has
secured
three
out
of
the
five
and
they
include
sharon
day
who's,
a
local
native
american
poet
and
singer
soon.
Young
shin
who's,
a
very
popular,
an
award-winning,
local
poet
and
salaam
makalin
saeed,
and
I
hope
I
said
her
name
right
or
his
name
right,
their
name
right
who
actually
knew
hussein
samatar.
O
So
this
is
really
how
the
concept
connects
to
samatar,
and
this
is
actually
what
the
artists
reported
back
to
ubajana
when
they
shared
the
design
with
her
a
few
weeks
ago,
but
it
focuses
on
journey.
They
were
really
inspired
and
moved
by
the
journey
that
both
uber
and
hussein
took
together
to
the
united
states
by
by
hussein's
love
for
color,
by
the
themes
of
inclusion
and
connection
and
by
his
life
really
being
about
movement
and
and
his
career
was
really
about
movement.
O
O
This
is
the
timeline
so
this
month
they
are
finalizing
the
poets
and
doing
the
poet
orientation
and
march
through
june
the
poems
will
be
created.
They
are
continuing
to
do
a
design
development
they're
at
about
60
and
they
have
to
get
to
90.
They
have
a
lot
of
details
to
work
out
in
terms
of
the
design.
O
Their
final
construction
drawings
will
be
in
may
in
june.
They
will
start
fabricating
and
they
plan
to
install
in
october.
One
thing
I
just
also
wanted
to
say
about
the
poetry
process
is
that
the
the
vision
for
working
with
the
poets
includes
having
the
poets
meet
with
ube
jama,
having
the
the
poets
get
oriented
on
all
of
the
engagement
that
the
artist
did
and
what
they
learned
from
the
community,
and
then
they
will
work
on
drafting
their
poems.
O
There's
a
you
know,
they're
going
to
be
short
pieces,
and
so
there's
the
artists
are
kind
of
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
word
limit
is,
how
many
words
can
be
squeezed
on
these
crescent
shapes
and
still
be.
Have
the
poems
be
super
visible,
but
then
the
artists
will
then
take
the
poems
with
some
suggestion
from
the
poets
and
lay
the
poems
out
on
the
crescent
shapes,
and
then
they
will
go
back
to
the
poets
and
share
the
layout
with
them
and
get
their
input.
O
So
there's
a
little
bit
back
and
forth
about
how
the
poems
will
fit
on
the
sculpture.
I
also
want
to
say
that
we've
worked
with
poets
before
I
think
this
is
the
most
integrated.
The
poets
have
been
in
the
public
artwork
and
that
they
will
design
the
actual
form
of
their
work
on
the
sculpture,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
about
this
piece.
O
It's
such
a
moving
project.
I
mean
it
really
is
to
the
legacy
of
hussein
sanitarus
to
be
able
to
work
on
a
project
that
honors
him
has
just
been
very
moving,
and
the
artist
team
has
been
so
thoughtful
and
the
topic
is
so
important
and
and
also
just
to
get
to
work
with.
Poets
has
just
been
really
exciting.
A
I
A
B,
rugen
I
and
with
that
that
motion
passes.
Thank
you
mary
for
such
tremendous
legacy,
work
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
all
of
our
residents
and
to
everyone
who
is
serving
on
the
public
art
advisory
council
too.
Just
this
is
really
amazing
work
and
I'm
excited
to
plan
a
field
trip.
Hopefully
once
everything
has
been
completed
and
welcome
the
public
as
we
tend
to
do
in
the
future.
So
thanks
a
lot
and
thanks
for
the
presentation
tonight,
I
think
that
was
really
really
meaningful.
A
K
Hi
everybody
well
part
of
it
was
lumped
into
our
poet
laureate
update
for
council
president
jenkins,
but
I
wanted
to
let
everyone
know
that
our
next
meeting
is
february.
23Rd
1
30
p.m.
Just
you
know
just
an
open
call
that
that's
you
know
when
we're
going
to
be
meeting
and
discussing
both
our
work
plan
for
the
year
ahead
and
also
where
we're
standing
with
that
poet
laureate
group.
So
today
I
want
to
do
just
a
little
delving
into
how
we
stand
on
outreach
for
council
members.
K
If
you
would
email
me
just
so
that
we
can,
we
can
get
a
full
view
before
our
work
group
meets.
So,
let's
see,
actually
we
heard
about
ward,
one
council,
member
smith,
you
said
that
you
met
with
your
wardrobe
council
member,
and
I
had
that
listed
for
crystal
and
david.
So
perhaps
you
could
just
chime
in
friends,
and
let
me
know
if
you
were
both
on
that
call
and
the
date
that
it
occurred.
E
A
Awesome,
if
I
could
just
throw
into
not
to
make
do
any
make
work,
but
based
on
kind
of
the
questionnaire
that
you
were
given.
If
one
of
you
has
time
any
time
this
week
to
just
write
like
a
really
brief
summary
it
doesn't,
it
can
be
very
high
level.
I
think
we
just
want
to
kind
of
get
a
aggregate
that
information
so
that
we
sort
of
know
who's
where
with
things
and
you
can
email
that
to
either
myself
or
commissioner
ailsworth
or
both
of
us,
whichever
we're
both
kind
of
tracking
that
stuff.
E
E
K
Great
work,
thanks
to
you
both
for
that,
so
we're
already
up
and
rolling
with
word
one.
I
love
that
great
news
word.
Two
currently
does
not
have
a
commissioner
seated,
so
I
did
outreach
there.
I
did
hear
back
from
the
senior
policy
aide
that
she
would
meet
with
me
next
month.
So
hopefully
we
have
that
scheduled
by
the
end
of
the
week
and
we'll
give
an
update
there.
K
H
H
K
H
And
I
heard
back
today
very
enthusiastically
from
council
member
goodman.
She
cannot
wait
to
meet
with
us.
It
was
a
really
nice
email,
so
we
are
actually
gonna
wait
and
meet
in
person
because
she'll
be
back
in
the
office.
So
we
have
it's
an
appointment
scheduled
for
1
30
on
march
14th
at
her
office
for
the
two
of
us.
So
one
down
one
one
scheduled
one
to
go.
D
A
Two
emails,
no
responses,
sorry
to
report,
and
maybe
we
can
talk
about
that
if
there's
time
or
maybe
actually
I'll-
probably
save
that.
If
I
don't
hear
anything
by
the
time
our
policy
group
meets
like.
Maybe
we
can
just
talk
about
what
to
do
if
we're
just
not
getting
any
response,
because
I've
got
several
like
that,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
just
report
that
I
have
not.
I
have
sent
two
emails
and
have
not
heard
back
from
council
member
ellison,
council,
member
osman
or
council
member
paul
masano.
A
A
My
initial
email
went
out
the
day
after
amir
ma
lax
murder,
so
I
just
feel
like
it
could
have
gotten
very
easily
lost
in
the
noise.
So
I
want
to
give
some
just
a
little
bit
of
grace
with
that,
but
I
did
send
a
second
email
today,
so
we
shall
see
if
those
three
will
follow
up
and
if
not,
I
will
ask
for
some
help
jack.
I
see
your
hands
up.
D
I
just
wanted
to
excuse
me.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
if
there
is
a
way
to
get
a
contact
list
of
the
support
people
for
the
council
members,
because
I
feel
like
that
might
be
an
easier
way
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
something
scheduled
or
may
have
you
know
if
the
council
member
just
has
so
many
emails
that
they're
inundated
with
that
it
might
be
easier
just
to
reach
out
to
those
people
as
another
avenue.
A
So
my
my
approach
was
to
send
the
email
to
the
ward
email,
so
not
the
individual
policy
aid
or
council
member,
which
I'm
sure
defaults
to
whoever
is
the
first
line
of
email
reader
for
you
know
for
the
council
member's
office.
But
I
can
it's
good
advice
and
getting
more
specific
and
sending
in
a
more
strategic
email
to
a
senior
policy.
Aid
might
be
a
next
step
for
sure.
K
Thanks
for
that
note
jack,
I'm
actually
just
typing
in
the
chat
to
where
you
can
find
it
online.
So
under
the
city,
the
city,
council,
header,
you
can
look
at
each
one
word
by
board
and
it
always
lists
their
senior
policy.
Aids
too.
So
just
a
refresher
link
there
and
I'm
happy
to
send
it
by
email
too,
if
that's
easier,
so
great
update,
thank
you
for
scheduling
both
of
yours
and
fingers
crossed
john
for
your
updates.
Thank
you
for
that.
So
I'm
just
kind
of
jumping
back
to
the
email
list.
K
I
So
I
talked
to
andrea
this
weekend,
actually
not
in
depth,
but
I
got
to
meet
her
in
person
at
the
safeword
show.
So
I
told
her
to
expect
my
email
and
what
we
would
talk
about.
We
talked
for
a
bit
about
the
poet
laureate
and,
of
course,
she's
super
into
art.
So
I
emailed
her
this
past
monday.
I
haven't
heard
back
yet
I
don't
know
if
that,
like
jack
said,
is
part
because
I
emailed
a
slightly
different
email.
K
A
A
K
Okay,
okay,
great
and
then
the
last
one
would
be
me
for
ward
11..
That's
my
current
word.
I
have
not
heard
back,
but
I
have
sent
some
messages
out,
so
I'm
waiting
on
that
and
also
giving
respect
with
that,
the
timing
of
our
our
city.
I
think
that's
a
really
important
point
to
just
to
take
a
moment
to
address
here
in
our
meeting.
We've
been
pretty
proactive
in
support
of
of
different
moments
and
movements,
and
I'd
like
to
you
know,
take
that
up
a
little
bit
more
too
at
our.
K
K
So
that's
going
to
be
something
that
is
it's
not
not
in
business
for
policy
and
advocacy.
Apologies
for
jumping
through
just
wanted
to
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
put
that
out
there.
So
that's
the
end
of
all
of
our
award
seats.
Thank
you.
If
anybody
else
has
updates
or
is
able
to
get
meetings
scheduled,
please
let
me
know
if
you
can
prior
to
february
23rd,
but
yes,
jack
and
mari,
if
you
have
a
chance
to
get
each
of
those
aid
lists
to
send
it
out.
K
A
F
A
I
think
this
is
a
further
we're
further
ahead.
I
think
this
quarter
than
we
have
been
in
years
past
with
canvassing
and
having
to
just
be
routine
and
and
getting
out
there
and
building
relationships
with
our
council
members,
so
great
job
you
guys
and
we'll
slowly,
but
surely
one
foot
in
front
of
the
other.
We
will
get
in
front
of
all
of
them
and
we
can
help
and
support
each
other
along
the
way.
So
that's
great
the
next
group,
so
we
will
skip
the
public
art
advisory
committee.
A
J
So
we
are
gonna,
pay,
five
artists
and
a
facilitator
to
spend
their
time
talking
about
their
experiences
with
the
city
and
hopefully,
as
like
artists
in
the
city
working
artists
in
the
city
at
this
moment
in
minneapolis,
so
we
have
a
date
identified.
We
have
artists
identified,
we
have
identified
not
confirmed
we're,
so
it's
all
kind
of
like
emails
going
out
seeing
who's
interested
who's
available.
J
If
the
date
works,
if
the
facilitator
is,
if
that
works
as
well,
so
it's
all
kind
of
in
process
it'll
be
at
the
end
of
march,
so
we're
technically
in
quarter,
one
which
is
great,
and
it
gives
us
a
little
time
to
really
like
have
it
be
a
very
planful
convening.
I
feel
like
we
really
want
to
respect
people's
time
and
and
get
the
most
out
of
that
kind
of
group
conversation,
because
it's
going
to
be
really
important
and
hopefully
that'll
inform
our
efforts
moving.
J
J
We
are
also
going
to
bring
back
the
guests
at
the
meeting.
That
is
another
part
of
our
budget,
so
in
march
we
will
be
joined
by
and
it
was.
It
was
great
to
see
on
the
samatar
crossing
that
zamia
theater
company
was
involved
because
martin
ward
is
going
to
join
us
in
march
and
talk
about
their
work.
So
I
just
put
a
link
to
their
website.
J
If
you
want
to
check
it
out,
if
you're
unfamiliar
zamia
has
been
around
for
a
long
time,
doing
really
great
work
and
I'm
excited
they
do
a
lot
of
work
downtown.
So
I'm
I'm
glad
that
they
were
kind
of
engaged
with
them.
That
cemetery
crossing
work
and-
and
I
feel
like
downtown
the
downtown
area-
is
one
that
we
have
really
yet
to
explore
and
there's
a
lot
of
so.
J
The
theater
company
has
a
lot
of
experience
with
downtown
and
the
the
company
members
oftentimes
are
current
residents
either
in
shelters,
downtown
or
unhoused
downtown
residents,
or
have
previously
had
that
experience.
So
I'm
excited
to
connect
with
them
and
see,
I'm
pretty
sure,
it'll
be
marin,
who's
the
director
but
I'll
have
a
conversation
with
her
and
see
if,
if
there's
somebody
else
that
could
represent
or
if
that's
the
best
representation
and
then
we'll
have
a
guest
in
april,
too,
definitely
open
by
the
way
to
who
that
is
and
organizations.
J
We
were
revisiting
our
list
and
I
feel
like
it's
already
kind
of
outdated,
even
though
it's
not
that
old,
just
as
far
as
like
there's
just
so
many
organizations
doing
really
amazing
work
in
our
city.
So
it's
definitely
something
to
celebrate
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
considering
the
voices
that
come
to
our
meetings
so
feel
free
to
shoot
me
an
email
at
any
point.
If
you
have
ideas
or
experiences
with
art
in
the
city,
any
questions
or
how
did
I
do
jeff
and
mandy
anything
to
add?
Okay,
cool.
M
Thanks,
I
should
put
my
hand
up:
go
ahead,
wondering
you
guys
I
just
as
you're
we're
talking.
I
was
thinking.
I
don't
know.
I
honestly
don't
know
enough
about
the
like
high
school
level,
arts
programs-
maybe
what
ahav
is
doing
and
stuff,
but
it
would
it
would.
I
would
love
to
hear
from
a
kid.
You
know
not
not
someone
in
charge
of
a
of
a
program,
although
those
are
really
fun
too,
but
just
if
there
are
like
young
leaders
in
the
classes
that
you
guys
are
doing
or
whatever.
M
I
think
that'd
be
really
interesting.
To
just
hear
that
perspective
of
where
these,
where
this
person
sees
how
excited
they
are
about
the
arts,
what
about
it
really
gets
them?
And
you
know
what
are
what's
their
vision
for
an
arts
future
and
stuff
like
that,
so
I
I
I
would.
I
would
love
that
I
I'm
assuming
we
have
some
connections
there,
but
that
would
be
really
fun.
So
just
fyi.
A
A
That
would
be
really
really
neat.
Well,
thank
you
to
the
access
group
I
feel
like
you
just
dropped
a
bunch
of
gifts
on
us
and
we
can
get
ready
for
all
of
that
to
happen,
excited
about
confirming
all
of
those
artists
and
getting
that
panel
to
fruition.
I
know
you
guys
have
been
working
on
that
for
a
really
long
time,
so
that's
super
exciting
and
yeah,
just
great
work,
good
job,
really
fun
stuff
and
so
excited
for
marin
or
whoever
from
zamiya
to
join
us.
That
is
really
important.
A
Work
that's
happening,
and
it
would
be
great
for
us
all
to
be
able
to
learn
more
and
support.
So,
okay,
public
art
we're
going
to
strike
unless
mari
or
david.
I
don't
want
to
assume
that
you
don't
have
anything
to
add,
but
you
know
do
you
have
anything
to
add.
Otherwise,
I
think
we're
going
to
move
on.
B
I
A
Yeah,
you
got
it.
Okay,
you
guys
yeah,
okay,
great,
thank
you,
okay,
and
so
then
last
we
just
have
the
executive
committee
updates
and
I
I
gave
you
a
retreat
update.
That
was
really
what
we
were
focusing
on
for
our
last
meeting
and
so
we'll
be
happy
to
catch
up
and
get
that
done
before
we
meet
again
and
be
able
to
give
that
information
to
you
other
than
that.
A
I
would
say
you
know
being
aware
of
where
you
all
are
at
in
your
processes
with
your
work
plans,
which
is
what
we
tend
to
do
when
we
meet
just
to
make
sure
that
everyone
feels
supported.
I
know
that
we're
still
not
we're
still
we're
in
limbo
about
a
lot
of
things.
We
can't
necessarily
meet
in
person,
yet
we
don't
know
when
that's
gonna
happen,
we
can't
really
convene,
but
we
can,
as
you
know
now,
that
access
has
clarity
around
budget.
A
I
mean
clearly
this
year
is
going
to
be
dynamic,
probably
even
more
dynamic
than
the
last,
which
was,
I
think,
very
active,
and
we
accomplished
a
lot
as
we
talked
about
in
our
year
in
review,
so
developing
a
department.
We
don't
exactly
know
how
we're
going
to
fit
into
that
process.
We
just
know
that
we're
going
to
stay
on
top
of
it
and
stay
on
top
of
mind
with
everyone
who's
involved
in
that
process.
A
So
that
is
the
potential
I
think
to
be
some
really
exciting
work
for
all
of
us
and,
of
course,
the
poet
laureate
as
that
develops,
and
we're
just
really
looking
at
kind
of
a
new
and
exciting
chapter.
For
arts
in
the
city,
and
our
role,
I
think,
is
just
going
to
become
better
and
better
defined,
so
hopefully
those
are
inspirational
things
to
share
with
anybody
that
you
think
might
want
to
join
our
group.
Okay,
then
any
questions
about
any
of
the
updates.
Okay,
with
that,
we
just
have
new
business,
any
new
business.
A
A
Okay,
all
right!
Look
at
my
prediction
came
true
thanks
everybody
for
all
this
good
work
and
our
meeting
wouldn't
be
as
short,
if
we
weren't
doing
so
much
stuff
outside
of
our
meeting
time.
So
this
is
this
extra
time.
Is
hats
off
to
you
for
all
doing
all
of
your
good
work?
Okay.
So
with
that,
we
have
completed
all
items
on
the
agenda
for
this
meeting.
I
will
ask
members
and
staff
if
there
are
any
other
matters
to
come
before
this
meeting,
if
not
and
without
objection.
