B
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
this
live
broadcast
of
our
virtual
meeting.
This
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d
.021,
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
pandemic.
For
the
record,
my
name
is
jackie,
hanson
assistant
city
clerk,
and
it
is
my
privilege
to
convene
this
annual
meeting
of
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation.
C
B
B
B
D
E
B
That
motion
passes
and
the
agenda
is
adopted.
Members.
The
first
item
of
business
is
the
election
of
the
body's
officers
as
set
forth
in
section
3.2
of
the
bylaws
in
terms
of
procedure.
I
intend
to
administer
the
election
for
both
president
and
vice
president,
and
we
will
follow
the
same
procedure
for
both
offices.
B
That
procedure
will
be
as
follows.
First,
I
will
open
the
floor
for
nominations.
After
all,
nominations
have
been
made.
The
nominating
period
will
be
closed
once
the
nomination
period
is
closed.
No
further
nominations
will
be
accepted.
Second,
after
the
nominations
period
is
closed.
We'll
proceed
to
take
the
vote
by
roll
call.
There
will
be
a
separate
vote
on
each
nominee.
We
will
consider
and
act
on
each
nomination
in
the
order
it
was
received.
B
B
B
D
As
many
of
you
know,
it's
traditional
for
the
two
directly
elected
public
members
to
serve
as
the
president
and
vice
president
sam
and
I
both
came
on
the
same
time,
and
I
will
concede
that
she
has
far
more
experience
in
sharing
meetings
than
do.
I
and
is
also
a
parliamentarian
to
boot.
And
that's
why
I
deferred
to
her
desire
to
be
board
chair
and
I'm
happy
to
support
her
nomination.
B
E
D
B
E
B
B
F
B
B
B
F
Thank
you,
so
we
will
move
forward
with
our
agenda,
which
starts
with
item
four
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
annual
review
of
the
bet
bylaws.
Before
we
move
forward.
I
would
like
to
state
that
we
should
start
with
a
land
acknowledgement
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
on
dakota
anishinaabe
land
here,
and
that
is
not
something
that
should
be
grim.
It
is
a
celebration.
F
The
reason
that
we
do
these
land
acknowledgments
is
to
celebrate
and
respect
our
indigenous
peoples,
who
are
the
stewards
of
this
land,
and
I
would
be
remiss
to
say
that
are
displaced
on
their
own
land
currently
with
our
current
unhoused
issue,
and
I
just
wanted
to
raise
that
up
and
respect
them
and
celebrate
them,
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
move
on
to
it
item
four
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
annual
annual
review
of
our
bet,
bylaws
and
call
on
city
attorney
dan
hamer.
Is
he
present.
H
F
D
I
have
two
motions
that
I
would
like
to
introduce
and
I
will
defer
to
those
who,
on
the
clerk's
staff
as
to
how
to
handle
them.
I
would
like
to
offer
the
amendment
proposed
by
board
member
president
samantha
priest
stinson,
and
I
would
like
to
also
offer
the
first
that
appears
on
the
amendments
proposed
by
staff,
but
not
the
second
and
third:
is
there
some
council,
the
clerk's
office,
can
offer
on
how
to
proceed
with
that?
Procedurally,
should
we
vote
on
the
priest,
instant
one
first
or
put
them
all
in
package
or.
F
E
F
F
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
congratulations
on
your
new
position
here
very
much
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
I
of
course
support
the
the
bet
bylaws
and
do
also
support
the
annual
review
by
attorneys
and
others
to
determine
where
amendments
can
be
made.
I
do
not,
however,
support
the
amendment
to
4.7,
which
would
allow
for
open-ended
comment
at
the
beginning
of
one
meeting
per
month.
J
The
the
comment
could
be
about
literally
anything,
and
I
think
that
when
we
have
discussion
that
is
open
to
the
public,
it
should,
for
instance,
be
regarding
the
tax
levy
or
regarding
the
budget
is
put
forward.
I
I
don't
think
that
the
open-ended
com,
the
commentary,
is
the
best
way
to
actually
see
to
get
things
done
through
our
through
our
board.
So
I
oppose
this,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
feedback.
D
D
On
matters
within
its
purview-
and
I
don't
know
if
I
can
amend
my
own
motion-
I
defer
to
the
clerk
on
that,
but
if,
if
not,
perhaps
somebody
else
could
make
that
motion
this?
Certainly
this
proposed
amendment
would
put
us,
in
conformance
with
many
other
public
bodies
around
the
metro
area
and
as
a
reporter,
I
had
a
chance
to
visit
many
of
them
and
it's
it's
good
practice.
If
it's
run
tightly.
E
E
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
just
curious
and
mr
brandt,
commissioner
brandt,
did
offer
some
thoughts
around
this,
but
I
I
guess
I'm
just
do
we
have
a
sort
of
anticipation
of
what
kinds
of
dialogue
we
may
be
hearing.
I
I
tend
to
agree
with
commissioner
frye
that
you
know
people
could
come
up
and
talk
about
anything.
E
F
G
G
F
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
appreciate
the
perspective
and
I
will
just
note
that,
for
purposes
of
the
levy
there
already
is
the
ability
to
have
public
discussion
on
that
particular
item
and
in
each
and
every
year
we
do
sometimes
one
or
two
people
show
up.
Sometimes
it's
four
or
five:
it's
usually
not
a
large
number
of
people
that
show
up,
but
nonetheless
that
option
is
already
available.
So
I
I
again
appreciate
the
the
sentiment
I
still
do
oppose
the
amendment,
though.
F
E
K
President
priest,
stinson
council,
president
jenkins,
perhaps
I
can
jump
in
in
recent
times.
Of
course,
we've
been
in
this
pandemic
environment
and
so
the
ability
of
members
wishing
to
participate,
you
know,
hasn't
been
a
practical
problem
in
the
past.
I
I
would
say
mayor
fry
is
correct.
We
do
tend
to
have
several
members
of
the
public
who
attend
the
public
hearing
on
the
levy
to
speak.
K
F
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
insert
language
into
the
current
proposal
to
read
that
at
the
first
board
meeting
each
month,
comment
shall
be
allowed
for
members
of
the
public,
and
those
wishing
to
speak
shall
be
given
two
minutes
to
address
the
board
on
matters
reflected
on
the
meeting
agenda.
B
D
D
If
I
had
my
druthers,
I
would
change
the
word
reflected
in
the
pre
stenson
amendment
to
contained
within
the
agenda
or
but
I'll
leave
that
to
her,
and
I
would
also
add
at
the
discretion
of
the
chair.
I
don't
think
I
can
offer
an
amendment
to
the
amendment.
However,
so
I
don't
know
if
she
would
consider
that
a
friendly
amendment
or
if
there
is
such
a
thing
in
the
way
the
board
works.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
At
this
time
there
are
two
motions
on
the
floor,
so
I
would.
I
would
advise
that
the
that
you
ask
for
additional
discussion
and
if
there
is
none,
you
can
take
a
vote
on
this
amendment.
If
that
fails,
you
can
open
the
floor
for
additional
amendments
and
you
can
propose
proposed
differing
language
at
that
time.
Board
member
vice
president
brandt.
F
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
am
you
know,
I
don't
at
the
risk
of
be
laboring
this
point
and
I'm
I'm
just
a
little
challenged.
I
mean
it.
It
seems
like
there
has
been
a
lot
of
it
feels
like
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
and
dialogue
prior
to
the
meeting
and
now
we're
being
asked
to
change
our
bylaws
on
the
fly.
E
F
E
C
F
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
divide
and
vote
on
each
bylaws
change
individually
for
clarification
and
to
avoid
any
confusion,
we
do
have
three
staff
proposed
amendments
before
us
1.1
with
regard
to
purpose
5.1
with
regard
to
staff
and
6.3.
With
regard
to
compensation,
that
does
not
require
a
vote
for
the
president
to
make
that
motion,
so
I
would
make
the
motion
to
divide
and
vote
on
each
each
of
those
three
bylaws
individually.
F
E
F
E
D
D
D
D
2022
budget
says
the
board
investment
taxation
is
given
two
primary
powers
by
the
minneapolis
city
charter,
to
set
the
maximum
property
tax
levy
for
the
city
and
to
issue
bonds
to
support
infrastructure
programs.
So
clearly,
there's
a
recognition
has
been
a
recognition
by
the
finance
department
that
the
board
is
the
issuer.
D
D
D
Both
of
these
changes
proposed
changes,
but
I'll
limit
myself
to
1.1.
Since
that's
what
we're
dealing
with
have
caused
a
great
deal
of
alarm
with
our
predecessors
on
the
board
of
estimate,
as
well
as
the
38-year
incumbent
in
the
executive
secretary
position,
it's
not
a
good
precedent
for
the
first
new
board
to
give
up
its
prerogatives
at
its
very
first
meeting,
particularly
when
there's
been
a
turnover
of
five
of
six
members.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
these
items
may
very
well
be
of
the
sort
that
I
will
ultimately
support.
That
being
said,
I
think
this
is
very
early
on
in
an
organizational
meeting
to
to
be
making
decisions
like
this
that
where
I
certainly
don't
understand
the
externalities
and
repercussions
again,
I'm
not
saying
I'm
opposed
to
it.
J
I
may
very
well
be
adamantly
supportive,
but
I
certainly
haven't
had
the
time
to
vet
and
to
consult
with
attorneys
about
this
particular
matter
to
to
talk
with
cities
and
our
board
staff,
and
just
so
I
don't
feel
comfortable
approving
at
this
point
and
and
for
that
matter,
we'll
we'll
make
this
the
same
motion
on
this
matter.
That
commissioner
men's
made
on
the
previous,
which
is
to
postpone
to
the
following
meeting
in
january,
again
appreciate
everybody's
work
on
this.
J
G
F
E
F
F
I
I
F
L
F
D
A
E
E
F
H
I
Remember
jenkins,
they
are
general
obligation,
bonds
of
the
city,
so
they
are,
you
know
paid
out
of
out
of.
I
believe
finance
could
probably
clarify
a
little
better,
but
I
think
under
the
bond
redemption
fund,
which
is
a
special
fund
for
which
you
know
tax
levy,
you
know
general
general
tax
levy
dollars
are
put
in
from
the
city's
general
tax
levy,
so
they're
not
from
the
board's
specific
board
levy
they're
from
general
taxation,
because
their
general
obligation
bonds,
the
city
was
to
not
pay
them.
I
You
know
we've
essentially
pledged
that
we
will
raise
taxes
and
amount
necessary
to
pay
those
bonds.
So
that's
kind
of
the
that
that's
the
security
for
a
general
obligation
bond
is
just
the
general
tax
taxing
capacity
of
the
entire
city
as
a
whole,
and
so
I
think
you
know
as
a
as
a
process
matter.
The
bonds
are
both
approved
by
the
by
the
board
and
they're
approved
by
the
city.
L
F
E
F
H
F
E
D
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
the
mayor's
intent
here.
What
I'm
wondering
before
we
vote
is,
if
he
has
in
mind
any
sort
of
of
a
procedure
for
who's
responsible,
for
sorting
out
these
questions
and
and
getting
back
to
the
boredom
on
them,
so
that
we
have
some
clarity
on
that
we're
not
in
this
situation.
In
a
couple
weeks,.
J
Of
course,
thank
you,
mr
vice
president.
Madam
president,
the
the
thought
is
that
we
would
at
least
be
able
to
reflect
on
what
we
were
just
explained
by
the
city
attorneys,
and
we
would
also
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
with
our
own
individual
staff
about
the
repercussions
or
lack
thereof
of
this
particular
amendment
again.
J
This
may
ultimately
be
something
that
I
support,
but
this
is
an
organizational
meeting
and
my
perspective
is
that
all
of
these
items
thus
far
are
pretty
far
for
the
just
an
organizational
meeting
when
we
can
address
you
know
if
they
are
significant
by
law
amendments
in
just
a
couple
weeks.
From
now.
F
F
H
C
D
D
D
F
D
F
K
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Only
one
clarification,
which
is
even
if
we
all
unanimously
vote
right
now
to
return
to
staff.
It
is
not
postponed
indefinitely.
It
could
then
again
be
brought
up
at
a
later
point
in
time.
You
know
I
I
don't
have
strong
feelings
about
this
particular
one
either
way,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
made
that
point.
F
Correct
and
thank
you
for
that,
mayor
fry
vice
president
brent,
I
think
what
would
be
appropriate
here.
You
did
make
an
original
motion,
which
was
something
different
than
postponing
indefinitely.
Would
you
like
to
rescind
your
original
motion
and
then
provide
for
a
a
second
motion
which
would
be
to
postpone
indefinitely?
Is
that
your
intention,
and
could
you
state
such.
F
J
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
am
back
in
queue
again.
I
don't
think
it
would
be
a
proper
motion
at
all
to
postpone
something
indefinitely.
You
can
return
it
to
staff,
but
there
there
is
the
ability
for
the
board
to
bring
any
item
up
at
a
later
meeting.
I
could
be
wrong,
but
that
is
my
understanding.
F
M
M
The
standard
motion
to
kill
is
the
motion
to
postpone
indefinitely
so
a
motion
to
postpone
and
definitely
would
kill
this
from
this
meeting.
The
mayor
is
correct,
however,
that
it
doesn't
kill
it
for
all
time,
and
a
future
motion
could
bring
this
same
proposal
back.
It
simply
moves
it
away.
Now
the
council
has,
as
its
practice,
moved
when
it
wishes
to
kill
something
from
the
agenda.
M
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you
both
so
back
to
back
to
you
vice
president
brandt,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
we
are
very
clear
here
now
we
have
received
that
additional
clarification.
Can
you
please
restate
your
motion,
given
the
the
additional
context
that
was
provided?
Is
your
motion
to
delete
from
the
agenda
5.1.
D
M
D
F
E
D
E
J
J
F
M
M
You
may
recall,
mr
mayor,
that,
at
the
last
meeting
in
the
last
term,
there
was
a
proposal
that
was
approved
by
the
body
to
provide
set
compensation
for
the
two
at
large
elected
members
of
this
body,
who
previously
were
simply
provided
a
per
diem
based
on
per
meeting,
and
the
discussion
was
to
set
a
compensation
and
to
set
that
into
the
budget.
That
piece
was
done.
This
is
simply
procedurally
reflecting
that
in
the
bylaws
that
those
members
who
are
elected
at
large
to
this
body
then
actually
have
compensation.
M
C
F
D
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It
appears
that
there
is
a
shift
from
last
term
from
holding
meetings
on
a
monthly
basis
prior
to
the
levy
introduction
to
holding
them
twice
per
month
or
every
other
week,
and
I
just
know
that
for
large
for
large
portions
of
the
year
holding
meetings
every
other
week
just
is
not
necessary,
because
there
are
sets
at
some
points
in
time.
There's
work
that
we
have
to
do.
E
E
F
Before
I
recognize
you
tony,
it
looks
like
you're
going
to
speak,
I'm
going
to
say
a
few
comments
myself.
I
would
agree
when
we
have
business
to
conduct
absolutely
we're
going
to
conduct
that
business.
We
also
know
that
our
members
are
also
members
of
many
other
committees,
as
well
as
the
city
council,
and
what
I
would
not
like
to
see
is
for
people
to
feel
that
they
don't
have
the
time
to
prepare
that
they
are
rushed
or
that
the
previous
meeting
to
the
scheduled
bt
meeting
feels
rushed
to
get
to
this
one
on
time.
F
So
certainly
the
business
is
outlined
before
us
on
this
calendar,
but,
as
we
can
see
already,
there's
dates
where
there
isn't
a
meeting.
I
would
be
concerned
if
there
were
months
where
we
weren't
meeting
at
all,
but
for
efficiency's
sake
and
for
the
amount
of
business
that
we
have.
It
does
seem
to
be
that
it
would
be
sufficient
to
meet
once
a
month,
and
with
that
I
would
turn
it
over
to
remember.
Brant.
Did
you
pop
in
that
you
had
some
commentary
as
well.
D
D
I
think
there's
four
or
five,
or
maybe
even
six
months,
it's
a
little
small
for
me
to
read
well
in
which
there's
no
business
necessarily
envisioned.
It's
always
possible,
of
course,
that
we
could
have
a
bond
sale
scheduled,
but
another
reason
that
meetings
get
cancelled
is
if
not
enough
members
are
available
to
attend.
J
F
Thank
you,
mayor
fry,
and
I
I
would
agree
with
that
sentiment
and
also
say
yes
again
for
schedules.
We
do
have
two
publicly
elected
members,
and
so
you
know
we
have
our
our
jobs
as
well
to
take
into
account
just
like
the
mayor
was
saying,
and
it's
not
as
if
we
don't
have
the
ability,
just
as
mayor
fry
said,
to
call
an
emergency
meeting
or
a
special
meeting
if
there's
business,
that
comes
before
the
board
in
the
in
between
time.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
president
priest,
stinson,
council,
member
koski.
Yes,
no
you're
welcome
so
just
just
to
clarify
to
the
mayor's
point,
he's
absolutely
correct.
Historically,
we've
often
canceled
board
meetings
for
lack
of
business
in
the
prior
year
and
we
are
required
by
charter
to
meet
once
per
month.
K
F
E
E
Yeah,
I
I'm
probably
gonna,
ask
the
clerk
to
to
help
fill
this
in,
but
it's
like
every
other
week,
which
I
think
would
coincide
with
this
schedule.
This
wednesday
meeting
schedule
so
and
that
I
think
I
heard
you
mentioned,
there's
often
a
a
rush
to
end
our
meeting
so
that
we
can
then
get
to
the
b-e-t
meeting.
Please
someone
help
correct
me.
If
I
am
wrong
in
that
understanding.
M
President
priest,
vincent
to
the
vice
to
council
president
jenkins
statement,
I
will
say
that
committee
of
the
whole
was
moved
to
tuesdays
in
the
second
week
of
the
regular
two-week
council
cycle.
This
year,
we've
tried
to
do
a
little
bit
better
job
of
coordinating,
but,
as
she
rightfully
points
out,
there
are-
and
you
have
said,
president
presidents
and
so
many
overlapping
calendars.
M
It
is
difficult
to
schedule
and
it
seems
to
me
that
perhaps
the
clerk's
office,
working
with
your
staff,
mr
sterling,
can
certainly
pull
back
and
revise
this
calendar
a
little
bit
tweak
it
to
make
it
a
little
bit
tighter
and
bring
that
back.
Since
the
body
is
set
to
meet
again
on
january
26th
and
by
that
time
have
a
calendar
that
we
could
flesh
out
and
share
with
all
members
in
advance
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
F
F
C
D
F
Eyes
the
eyes
have
it
not
motion
passes
and
the
calendar
goes
back
to
staff
for
refinement
and
they
will
bring
it
back
to
us
for
approval
and
adoption
on
january,
the
26th.
Thank
you.
We
now
move
into
our
unfinished
business
section
of
the
agenda,
which
is
item
six
on
your
agenda,
and
it
is
a
resolution
amending
the
2022
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
budget
and
appropriation
that
was
postponed
from
the
december
15
2021
meeting,
and
I
would
like
to
call
on
ryan
patrick
to
give
us
a
brief
presentation.
O
Thank
you,
chair,
pre,
stinson
and
good
afternoon
minneapolis
for
investment
taxation.
I'm
returning
to
discuss
this
with
the
board,
based
on
a
presentation
that
what
happened
in
december,
recognizing
that
the
board
had
an
independent
staff,
member
with
an
overlapping
skill
set
to
internal
audits,
and
the
discussion
at
that
point
was
potentially
to
bring
that
staff
member
on
full-time
under
the
bet
and
have
a
shared
staffing
agreement
where
they
would
report
part-time
to
internal
audit.
O
To
supplement
the
work
that
we
do
given
our
unique
positions
in
in
the
organization
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Since
then,
from
what
I
understand,
there's
been
additional
discussion
in
in
how
to
the
board
could
best
utilize
its
resources,
and
I
would
defer
to
those
who
have
been
working
on
that
too
for
that
discussion.
But
I'm
generally
supportive
of
the
work
that
is
going
on
in
the
office
and
and
look
forward
to
working
together
again
in
the
future.
F
F
J
So
first
I'll
say
I'm
going
to
regardless
of
the
answer
to
this
question
I'll:
ask
that
we
follow
suit
with
the
direction
of
the
previous
items
and
simply
postpone
this
to
the
upcoming
meeting.
That
being
said,
the
question
I
have
is:
is
this
proposal
to
have
a
full-time
position
within
bet,
or
is
this
proposal
to
have
the
shared
position
between
audit
and
bet.
F
Thank
you,
mayor
fry
and
remember
vice
president
brent
before
I
recognize
you
to
speak
being
that
this
was
my
amendment.
I
will
go
ahead
and
speak
to
it
first
here
before
I
call
on
you.
So
the
intention,
mr
mayor,
is
not
for
the
shared
agreement.
It
would
simply
be
for
for
there
to
be
a
full-time
staffer,
specifically
for
the
purposes
of
bet
specifically.
So
this
is
not
part
of
the
the
shared
agreement
that
was
originally
being
discussed
at
the
last
meeting.
J
J
F
Thank
you.
I
would.
I
would
that
the
reason
that
I
I
did
ask
for
that
specific
date
and
thank
you
for
being
able
to
clarify
that
was
really
to
determine
where,
in
our
timeline
of
various
serious
activities
and
emergencies
we've
had
in
our
city
that
that
occurred.
Was
it
before
the
murder
of
mr
george
floyd.
Was
it
pre-coveted
to
just
get
a
better
understanding
of
of
with
what
information
and
the
timeline
to
when
that
occurred?
E
E
Explore
this
matter
more
well,
not
even
to
explore
this
matter,
but
it's
my
understanding,
so
I
guess
I
should
ask
this
as
a
question
that
there
is
a
there's
currently
a
an
evaluation
of
the
position
by
hr
underway
and
that
and
if
that
is
correct,
when
will
we
get
the
results
of
that
evaluation
position?
Evaluation:
compensation
evaluation-
I
am
certainly
not.
F
Yes,
I
I
do
have
some
additional
comments,
but
I'm
gonna
keep
with
the
cadence
of
making
sure
I
recognize
all
of
my
colleagues
first
before
being
that
I
am
the
president
speaking
myself,
so
I
will
move
through
the
rest
of
those
that
are
in
queue,
and
then
I
do
have
some
additional
comments
specifically
around
that
that
hr
function,
specifically
next
in
our
queue,
is
member.
Vice
president
brent,
I
recognize
you
to
speak.
D
That
pales
beside
the
kind
of
information
that
mr
paulie
used
to
provide
to
the
board,
in
which
you
could
actually
look
at
after
his
analysis,
how
many
people
were
going
to
see
a
decrease
in
their
tax?
How
many
we're
going
to
see
no
change
and
how
many
we're
going
to
see
an
increase
and
by
what
increment-
and
I
think,
that's
vital
information
that
needs
to
be
performed
to
do
responsible
levy.
Setting,
let's
be
clear.
This
is
I
in
my
mind
at
least
more
meddling
by
the
finance
department.
D
D
I
also
would
mention
that
the
board's
levy
of
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
this
year
is
not
only
far
less
than
the
210
000
that
was
levied
in
2019,
but
it's
even
less
than
the
levy
back
in
the
year
2000.
So
it's
not
as
though
the
board
has
been
blowing
through
tons
of
money.
I
believe
that
it's
possible
to
fund
this
position
for
the
first
year,
simply
with
the
amount
of
accumulated
fund
balance
and
to
use
a
combination
of
that
fund
balance
and
a
30
000
increase
in
our
levy
through
2025.
D
D
F
I
do
not
want
our
discussion
to
seem
as
if
we
are
disparaging
or
taking
a
particular
issue
with
the
department
or
staff
in
our
discussion,
so
I
just
want
to
name
that
as
a
general
reminder
for
our
commentary
to
remain
germane,
but
I
also
want
to
lift
up
the
fact
that,
yes,
this
does
need
to
be
talked
about,
and
we
we
also
have
our
actual
staff
person
present
for
the
discussion,
and
I
don't.
I
don't
want
our
staffer
to
think
that
that
is
lost
on
me.
F
It
is,
it
is
a
difficult
conversation
to
be
in
the
middle
of
while
you're
present
in
this
meeting,
while
we're
we're
discussing
the
particulars
of
your
role,
and
I'm
just
lifting
that
up
to
note
that
that
I
see
when
I
understand
that,
so
just
a
reminder
of
of
the
germaness
nature
that
we
that
we
want
to
maintain
here.
With
with
our
comments
during
discussion-
and
I
would
like
to
recognize
member
koski
next
in
our
discussion.
N
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
feel
and
thank
you
for
your
comments
there,
and
so
it's
my
understanding
that
there
was
an
evaluation
in
2019
to
move
this
from
a
full-time
role
to
a
part-time
role
and
now
we're
here
in
2022..
So
I
do
feel,
though,
in
order
to
move
it
to
go
from
a
you
know:
the
current
part-time
relative,
full-time
role
that
it
it
it
does
warrant
another
evaluation
through
our
hr
process.
I
think
that
it
needs
to.
We
need
to
understand
the
job
description.
N
I
feel,
like
I've
heard
a
couple
things
here:
one
where
this
role
would
be
fully
with
bet
and
one
where
we
would
be
shared.
So
I
think
we
owe
it
to
ourselves
and
to
the
city
to
understand
and
create
a
formal
job
description
and
go
through
the
formal
hr
process,
which
would
then
decide
on
how
this
role
will
be
funded.
And
so
you
know
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
postpone
this.
F
M
President
priest
stenson
there
is
a
main
motion
on
the
floor
to
approve
the
resolution
that
you
yourself
have
brought
forward
made
by
vice
president
brandt.
This
is
a
motion
of
a
higher
ranking,
which
is
a
motion
to
postpone
so
the.
If,
if
that
motion
offered
by
member
koski
were
to
receive
a
second,
we
would
dispose
of
the
motion
to
postpone
first,
if
the
motion
to
postpone
carries,
of
course,
then
the
matter
is
postponed.
If
the
matter
to
postpone
does
not
carry,
then
we
would
return
to
the
original
main
motion.
F
F
Any
further
discussion
all
right-
I
will
briefly
say
as
my
last
point
of
discussion
since
I'm
the
one
that
brought
the
resolution
forward,
that
that
this
discussion
does.
I
do.
I
do
hear
what
people
are
saying
about
the
hr
function
and
it
is
important
and
critical
as
much
as
we
have
needs
of
a
board,
and
we
all
may
recognize
those
needs
differently
or
we're
getting
oriented
with
what
those
needs
are.
It
is
important
to
understand
for
all
of
us
to
be
on
the
same
page
about
what
is
the
hr
process.
F
What
historically
has
been
done
when
we
move
a
employee
from
part-time
to
full-time?
Have
we
done
an
open
process?
Have
we
opened
it
up
internally
externally?
Do
we
just
automatically
provide
for
the
staffer
that
we
have
to
move
into
that
role,
questions
around
what
step
future
funding
ongoing
so
that
somebody
is
not
in
a
position
where
they're
not
sure
that
they
have
job
security.
E
E
So
I
I
I
am-
I
mean
that's
that's
how
I
have
experienced
part-time
positions
that
have
moved
to
full-time,
I'm
not
sure
if
that
happens
frequently
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
But
in
my
experience
those
roles
have
been
opened
up
to
a
competitive
process,
and
I
am
absolutely
100
sure
that
the
person
who
is
currently
doing
that
job
is
100
qualified.
E
J
You,
madam
president,
just
very
briefly
you
know
I.
I
think
that
mr
sterl
is
excellent,
and
I
just
wanted
to
very
clearly
say
that,
on
the
record,
he's
done
a
tremendous
job
in
a
number
of
different
forums,
and
I
I
do
trust
his
work.
Inherently
all
the
same,
we
you
know,
I
voted
a
certain
way
a
couple
of
years
ago,
given
in
a
certain
analysis,
and
if
that
vote
is
going
to
change,
I
do
need
to
see
a
different
analysis.
J
F
Thank
you
and
mayor
frye.
I
would
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
I
really
appreciate
the
language
that
you
just
used.
I
think
it's
important
for
all
of
us
as
we're
going
in
to
take
this
vote,
that
again,
love
and
appreciate
all
of
the
work
that
mr
sterli
has
done,
but
we
we
are
specifically
speaking
to
the
position,
regardless
of
who
may
or
may
not
be
in
it,
and
so
this
this
is
a
decision
on
the
position
and
the
needs
of
the
board,
and
I
would
like
to
recognize
member
men's.
G
F
Thank
you,
member
men's,
and
I
I
would
agree
and
support
those
sentiments
as
well.
Thank
you
for
raising
them,
so
I
want
to
go
back
to
make
sure
we
are
all
clear
on
what
we
where
the
current
motion
is,
and
the
current
motion
at
play
is
by
member
koski,
which
is
to
move
to
postpone
this
matter
pending
until
such
time
as
the
analysis
of
the
position
and
needs
of
the
bet
can
be
completed
and
presented
to
the
body.
I
do
have
one
additional
question.
F
N
Oh,
it's
my
understanding
that
2019
was
completed.
I
think
that
we,
since
it
moved
from
a
full-time
to
a
part-time.
I
think
we
need
another
evaluation
or
at
least
to
determine
if
we
need
to
decide
that
to
to
move
it
now
from
a
part-time
to
a
full-time
role,
and
I
also
think
there
are
you.
There
are
two
different
roles
that
we're
talking
about
here.
F
E
E
F
M
So
I
can
say
that
a
portion
of
that
has
begun.
We
certainly
can,
with
this
board's,
I
think
direction.
Move
that
into
a
broader
scope,
which
is,
as
councilman
burkowski
pointed
out,
both
the
flavor
of
giving
a
full-time
fte
to
the
bet
or
as
an
option,
a
shared
arrangement
between
the
bet
and
the
city
and
bring
all
of
those
options
back
to
the
body
for
their
informed
discussion.
F
F
That's:
okay,
if
it
didn't
it
didn't.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
really
clear
here,
because
we
do
the
purpose
of
the
information
from
what
I'm
hearing
from
all
of
you.
Colleagues,
the
purpose
of
what
we
are
requesting
through
this
is
that
we
at
our
current
state
generally
don't
have
the
don't
feel
that
all
members
don't
feel
they
have
the
information
to
make
either
decision.
F
D
E
F
M
President
priest
stinson,
if
I
can
jump
in
and
just
answer,
that
the
motion,
as
I
understood
it,
was
conditioned
upon
such
time
as
that
analysis
could
be
returned.
So
I
would
hesitate
to
put
a
date
on
it,
since
staff
will
need
the
time
sufficient
that
it
will
take
to
complete
that
analysis
and
return
it.
M
So
I
do
think
there
is
a
control
mechanism
for
the
body
which
is
to
to
check
in
as
needed,
periodically
or
ask
staff
to
confirm
that
that
work
is
underway
or
that
it's
near
completion
or
when
it
can
be
brought
back,
and
I
would
also
before
yielding
back
suggests
that
both
items,
six
and
seven
are
tied
together.
So
the
postponement
of
item
six
would,
I
think,
tie
to
the
item
of
seven
and
the
clerk.
F
G
So
I
am
a
little
uncomfortable
with
this
just
being
pushed
off
until
whenever
I
I'm
wondering
how
long,
if
mr
carl
could
maybe
comment
on
how
long
it
took
to
to
do
the
previous
analysis
and
how
long
we
can
expect,
I
mean
I
think
it's
something
that
we
brought
to
the
it's
been
it's:
it's
unfinished
business
from
in
the
past.
So
it's
something
that's
been
brewing
for
a
while
and
we
weren't
able
to
make
a
decision
on
it
today.
So
I'm
wondering
how
quickly
and
that
it
we
could
get
it
back
here.
M
My
assumption
is
that
we
could
certainly
agendize
that
for
a
report
back,
but
would
caution
that
my
better
bet
with
with
experience
having
done
these
types
of
analyses
in
the
past
is
that
it
will
take.
You
know
a
month
or
more
and
so
most
likely
you're
looking
at
your
february
or
march
meeting,
and
since
we
don't
have
a
calendar
yet
approved.
That
was
something
we
referred
also
back
to
staff
for
refinement
to
come
back
and
bring
forward
for
adoption
next
week.
F
Thank
you,
and
we
can
put
that
on
member
men's
that
can
be
on
the
agenda
that
that
can
certainly
be
something
that
we
place
on
the
agenda
at
agenda
setting.
So
this
won't
just
kind
of
go
off
and
we
don't
know
what's
happening
with
it.
We
can
address
it
at
the
next
agenda,
setting
to
ask
for
a
report
back
absolutely.
E
Thank
you
chair.
Please
stenson.
You
opened
up
our
meaning
with
an
amazing
land
acknowledgement,
and
I
deeply
appreciate
that
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
passing
of
mr
clyde
bellacourt,
one
of
the
founders
of
aim,
the
american
indian
movement,
a
fierce
advocate
for
indigenous
people
all
over
the
world.
His
voice
spoke
loudly
consistently
and
vociferously
against
police
brutality
against
government
overreach
against
the
genocide
of
his
people
and
our
neighbors.
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
passing
of
a
a
giant
leader
in
our
community
and
not
just
speaking
of
his
physical
stature,
but
his
influence
and
inspiration
that
he
has
left
on
generations
before
and
generations
to
come
and
it's
a
deep
loss
for
the
native
american
community
and
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
as
a
whole.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
I
also
have
an
announcement
and
would
like
to
another
leader
that
we
have
lost
in
our
community.
Mr
mel
reeves,
a
tireless
social
justice
advocate
who
again
was
was
a
giant
in
his
ability
to
bring
people
together
and
to
be
able
to
speak
to
all
people
and
his
work
to
to
change
the
systemic
and
institutional,
historical
and
present-day
harms
within
our
criminal
justice
system.
Within
the
the
movement
for
social
justice
was
huge
and
with
both
of
these
passings,
I
think
something
that
would
be
remiss
not
to
mention.
F
That
front
and
center
and
prioritized
as
we
go
about
our
work
and
two
very
big
losses
for
our
city.
In
addition
to
mr
bill
cottman,
which
this
may
have
already
been
covered
last
session,
but
we
have
lost
several
enormous
leaders
within
our
community
that
that
were
really
part
of
the
glue
that
kept
us
together
and
there
will
be
big
shoes
to
fill
with
that.
If
there
are
no
further
announcements,
then
we
have
concluded
all
of
our
business
and
our
board
meeting
has
come
to
an
end
and
there's
no
objection.
