remind
everybody

I'll
do
my
best
to
verbally
communicate
relevant
information
that
appears
in
the
chat,

would
also
encourage
folks
to
share
pertinent
information
verbally
rather
than
relying
on
the
chat
now.
A
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order

ask

Hey

really
excited
to
kind
of
be
helping
and
supporting
along
with

and
tamara.
This
wonderful
amazing
group
we
have
here
and
looking
forward
to
get
to
know
everyone
well
as
well.
Thanks.
I
And
I'll
round
out
the
staff
contingent
in
this
meeting,
I'm
patty
bullard,
the
director
of
policy
and
healthy
communities
for
the
minneapolis
health
department
and
the
minneapolis
health
department
overseas
homegrown.
R
C
Yes,
I
did
not
introduce
myself.
I
am
tamara
downs.
Why
homegrown
minneapolis
coordinator
and
staff
of
the
food
council
really
appreciate
having
the
collaboration
and
support
of
all
these
other
wonderful
homegrown,
minneapolis
team
members,
who've
joined
to
help
present
and
troubleshoot
our
meeting
and
all
the
work
very
excited
to
see
everyone
here
too,.
A
Are
we
going
for
time
to
time?
Tamara
is
any
more
community
members.
A
Listen
well.
Thank
everybody.
Thank
you
all
so
much
community
members
for
joining
us
tonight's
meeting
with
that
we
will
proceed
to
our
agenda,
a
copy
of
which
was
posted
in
the
public
access
of
the
city,
legislative
information
management
system,
which
is
available
at
lims.minneapolismn.gov.
A
Well,
if
you
do
want
to
find
that
for
the
two
items,
tamara
will
need
to
adapt
the
agenda
into
accepting
minutes
for
december
and
november.
C
We
will
adopt
the
december
minutes.
I
think
we'll
have
to
add
the
november
minutes
for
the
next
meeting,
since
they
were
administrative
challenge
and
having
them
be
included.
Here,
and
I
know
this
group
was
not
officially
the
members
for
either
of
those
meetings
but
as
as
those
who
call
in
know
the
december
meeting
was
unable
to
happen
due
to
a
lack
of
quorum.
So
we
all
had
a
lesson
in
importance
of
meeting
our
minimum
attendance
and
what
the
implication
is.
C
If
we
don't
get
there,
but
december
minutes
are
basically
the
postponement
of
those
items
and
the
november
minutes
we
can
loop
into
our
adoption.
In
the
february
meeting.
A
Beautiful
so
our
first
two
items
of
business
is
the
adaption
of
the
agenda
for
tonight's
meeting.
A
Followed
by
the
acceptance
of
the
minutes
form
from
our
last
december
meeting,
we
can
combine
these
two
items
of
business.
It
will
receive
a
proper
motion.
May
I
have
a
move
for
the
council
members
to
approve
the
agenda
and
accept
the
december
13
minutes
yeah.
The
december
minutes.
A
Y
X
A
A
We
have
a
proper
motion
before
us.
Is
there
any
discussion
before
tamara
takes
rogan
anyone.
B
A
With
that,
I
asked
tamra
to
take
ro
on
the
motion.
When
you
hear
your
name,
please
say
yay
or
nay,
to
indicate
your
stance.
Camera.
C
Okay,
here
we
go
again:
kavelyn
allendes,
yay,
jenny,
breen,
yay,
cervantes,
yay.
K
B
B
R
T
U
J
U
C
E
Yeah
for
sure,
good
evening,
everybody,
my
name
is
sega
agata
and
I
served
as
one
of
the
co-chairs
for
homegrown
minneapolis
food
council
for
those
of
you
who
I
do
not
know
for
the
past
two
years,
beginning
in
2020
and
through
the
pandemic,
through
the
pain
and
unrest
in
the
streets
of
our
city
and
through
the
last
year
as
well,
and
I've
had
the
one
and
only
kate
seybold
by
my
side.
So
I
know
you've
already
introduced
yourself.
But
if
you
want
to
share
who
you
are
again,
kate.
Z
Likes,
like
I
said,
we've
been
coaches,
the
last
two
years
and
they've
been
a
whirlwind
of
two
years
and
two
years
like
no
other
on
the
food
council,
but
really
rewarding
two
years
of
time
and
I'll.
You
know,
I
don't
know
what
you're
planning
to
say.
So
I
guess
I'll
just
say
you
know
it's
yeah.
Z
So
many
passionate
and
incredibly
talented
and
experienced
people
who
are
working
to
make
a
better
food
system
in
our
community
and
so
much
great
work
comes
out
of
the
food
council
itself,
but
I
think
there's
just
invaluable
relationships
that
come
out
of
it,
that
people
that
you
can
tap
in
your
everyday
work
or
in
your
personal
life
for
things
and
just
these
connections
have
just
been
really
really
wonderful
to
make.
And
so
you
know
to
all
of
those
who
who
served
on
the
food
council
and
segment.
Z
I
were
co-chairs
or
even
beyond
that
it's
been
so
wonderful
to
get
to
work
with
you
and
for
all
of
you
who
are
just
joining
on.
I'm
sad
to
I'm
sad
to
not
get
to
serve
alongside
you,
but
I
think
we
still
get
to
count.
Z
As
all
being
you
know,
food,
council,
friends
and
hope
we
can
stay
in
touch,
I'm
a
I'm,
a
district
appointed
position,
and
so
I
I'm
transitioning
out
of
my
role
at
minneapolis
public
schools,
and
so
there
will
be
a
new,
a
new
person
coming
into
the
role
here
very
soon.
Hopefully
once
they
get
hired
and
that's
another
thing
that
I'll
announce
later
and
I'll
drop
the
link
in
for
the
the
job
posting
but
yeah.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
Z
It's
been
a
really
wonderful,
wonderful
experience
and
the
food
action
plan
which
all
these
new
members
are
going
to
learn
about
soon
is
such
an
incredibly
exciting
piece
of
work
happening
and
then
a
labor
of
love
for
many
years
of
the
food
council,
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
it
come
to
fruition
and
I'll
be
cheering
on
from
the
sidelines
so
I'll
pass
it
back
to
you.
Sega.
E
So
you
know
for
those
of
you
who
are
part
of
homegrown
for
those
two
years,
you've
seen
up
my
nostrils,
every
angle
humanly
possible
through
every
tech
failure,
every
long
side
at
the
end
of
a
long
day,
and
it
was
always
welcomed-
and
this
was
always
a
space
of
reprieve
and
exhale,
and
sometimes
a
space
to
step
back,
sometimes
a
space
to
show
up
with
whatever
energy
that
we
had
to
bring.
So
I
appreciate
that
grace
and
just
the
space
that
was
co-created
the
past
few
years.
E
I
am
still
around
I'm
at
those
very
united
communities
supporting
data
and
evaluation
across
our
agency,
and
for
those
of
you
who
know
pillsbury
united,
we
do
quite
a
bit
of
food
work,
among
other
things,
so
I'll
be
in
community
alongside
many
of
you
still,
but
I
just
won't
be
showing
up
in
this
space
in
the
same
capacity,
which
is
bittersweet
yeah.
On
the
other
side,
kate
has
a
whole
baby.
E
E
A
lot
have
sat
me
down
in
a
lot
of
ways
have
fired
me
up
in
a
lot
of
ways,
so
I'm
just
extremely
grateful
and
especially
grateful
to
have
been
able
to
come
into
this
role
after
tasha,
paula
and
devon
nolan,
who
were
the
two
fierce
co-chairs
before
us
and
then
to
see
the
position,
or
at
least
part
of
the
position
taken
on
by
my
good
friend,
marcus
carr,
who
is
just
fabulous
and
brilliant
and
holds
space
in
such
a
powerful,
unique
way
that
I'm
excited
to
see
for
you
all
in
the
next
year
and
beyond.
E
So
with
that
yeah.
Thank
you
and
excited
for
what's
to
come.
Z
Marcus
you
are
going
to
be
such
a
phenomenal
co-chair.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
on
this
role
and
we're
so
we're
so
happy
to
pass
the
torch
to
marcus
and
to
the
other
co-chair
to
be
elected
here
coming
up,
so
we're
excited
we're
excited
to
pass
it
off
and
yeah
marcus.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
leadership.
A
Oh
yeah,
I
think,
thanks
to
both
of
you,
it's
big
shoes
to
fail.
You
know
I'm
looking
forward
to
learning
a
lot,
but
I
am
going
to
miss
the
two
of
you
here.
You
know
you
make
this
work,
you
know
worth
it
and
then,
just
being
here,
it's
been
something.
I've
absorbed
a
lot
of
experience
and
knowledge
from
just
being
a
part
of
these
conversations,
so
yeah.
Thank
you
for
that.
Okay,.
A
And
then
am
I
am
I
speaking
now
tamara.
C
Yes,
I
think
you
are
going
to
lead
us
in
the
breathing
exercise
when
you
were
ready
to
do
that
after
your
remarks.
X
A
C
A
But
it's
funny
that
that
you
know
they
got
mentioned.
You
know
space
to
breathe
and
stuff.
I
feel
like
you
know
before
we
start
kick
this
year
off.
It
would
be
a
good
thing
for
us
to
like
start
by
just
taking
a
couple
of
breaths.
I
hope
everyone
is
in
a
place
where
they
can
do
that.
Was
anyone
opposed
to
trying
something
like
that
with
me
right
now,
awesome
yeah.
B
A
Been
a
it's
been
a
pretty
hard
couple
years
and
we're
going
to
start
off
by
just
relaxing
what
I've
been
doing
with
my
with
my
group
of
kids
in
north
minneapolis
is
really
trying
to
exercise
starting
work
by
inhaling
and
exhaling
six
breaths
together.
I
usually
have
like
some
kind
of
time
or
something
that
accuses
us
for
inhaling
this
time,
I'm
just
gonna
hit
on
my
water
glass.
I
hope
everyone
can
hear
that.
Does
that
work?
A
Okay!
Here
we
go.
A
A
A
So
next
tamara,
I
believe
we're
going
to
have
the
food
council
member
introduction
activities
which
I
just
started
off.
A
It'll
be
awesome,
the
home,
the
homegrown
minneapolis
food
council
orientation,
something
I
I
think
we're
at
next.
C
Correct
so
tong
chow
and
I
from
our
homegrown
office,
will
help
to
launch
a
very
quick
minty
poll
of
a
couple
questions
for
the
group
and
that
will
be
followed
by
another
round.
We're
going
to
get
to
hear
each
other's
voices
and
see
each
other's
faces
multiple
times
tonight
and
and
this
next
time
we'll
be
in
a
bit
more
of
a
informal
way
without
in
the
midst
of
a
roll
call
or
a
vote.
C
We're
going
to
have
a
couple,
hopefully
easy
questions,
but
you
will
get
to
take
a
moment
to
think
about
what
you'd
like
to
share
regarding
your
personal
or
professional
connection
or
passion,
to
the
food
system,
no
right
or
wrong.
Answer
there
and,
and
the
second
question
on
the
mentee
poll,
which
we'll
give
you
the
link
to
in
a
moment,
will
be
in
relation
to
at
least
one
goal
or
hope
for
the
time,
together
with
the
food
council.
And
what
we'll
do
after
we
do
mentee
is.
C
We
will
take
a
moment
with
or
30
to
60
moments
with
each
of
the
members
getting
a
chance
to
reintroduce
yourself
and
share
what
you'd
be
comfortable
with
from
those
questions.
And
so
what
we'd
like
to
do
with
the
mentee
is
record
those
in
a
way
that
could
be
created
as
an
artifact
of
our
conversation
into
a
word
cloud
from
each
of
those
questions
and
then
we'll
have
that
as
a
group.
But
then
we'll
still
get
that
chance
to
verbally
share
as
well.
C
So
tong
will
lead
us
in
the
mentee
first
and
then
marcus
will
take
our
roster
and
one
by
one
call
on
folks
to
be
able
to
to
share
for
those
questions
and
I'll
jump
in
and
support
we're
ever
helpful.
But
we'll
start
tong.
Can
you
direct
folks
to
where
were
they
ought
to
go
on
mentee
to
be
responding
to?
These
prompts
yep.
R
So
I
put
it
into
the
chat,
there's
a
link
to
mentee
and
then
once
you
get
there,
you
can
enter
in
the
code.
Eight
seven
one,
eight,
nine
six!
I'm
also
going
to
share
my
screen
and
there's
the
instruction
on
the
top
of
the
powerpoint.
Along
with
the
question
and.
C
C
So
we'll
take
a
little
time
for
everybody
who
is
able
to
go
to
mentee.com
enter
the
5287-1896.
I
I
C
We
will
save
this
for
the
group,
but
I
love
seeing
community
at
the
center
of
this
word
cloud.
I
think
it
is
so
representative
of
this
work
and,
of
course,
cooking
and
eating
and
justice
really
excited
to
come
in
together
with
those
areas
of
alignment.
D
C
Very
colorful
and
beautiful
set
of
words-
and
I
will
thank
tong
for
setting
this
up
and
all
of
you
for
contributing
the
the
written
word
and
pass
it
back
to
marcus,
to
give
you
all
a
chance
to
to
verbally
share
what
you
would
like
related
to
each
of
these
prompts
and
a
reintroduction
of
yourself.
So
we
can
continue
getting
to
know
each
other.
A
Okay,
bear
with
me
for
a
second
here
tamara
seem
to
have
like
lost
my
my
window
here.
I
A
A
I
just
pulled
it
up.
Okay,
I'm
just
gonna
go
down
the
roster,
giving
every
everyone
an
opportunity
to
reintroduce
themselves
correct.
C
A
Beautiful
first
we'll
start
with
our
kevin
islanders.
D
D
Excuse
me
so
my
five
words
for
the
first
question
were
growing
eater
health
leverage,
point
and
transformation,
and
I
chose
those
because
I
first
felt
like
my
heart,
connected
to
the
food
system
when
I
was
vegetable
gardening,
as
a
high
school
student
and
a
college
student
and
really
connecting
with
food
in
that
way,
and
recognizing
that
I
could
grow
the
things
that
would
then
be
on
my
plate
and
how
special
that
was-
and
I
studied
food
systems
at
the
university
of
minnesota
as
an
undergraduate
student
and
part
of
my
motivation
for
doing
that
was
just
recognizing
that
foods
is
just
this
really
special
leverage
point
where
human
and
environmental
health
come
together
and
then
my
current
worth
of
work
is
in
public
health
and
trying
to
build
equitable
systems
related
to
health
and
to
build
health,
equity
and
justice.
D
So
I
hope
our
work
moving
forward
will
really
be
focused
on
equity
justice
building
have
healthy
communities
through
food
security
and
that
we
are
sorry.
My
voice
is
all
funny
tonight
that
we
take
bold
transformative
steps
together.
A
It's
beautiful
thank
you
for
that.
Next,
on
our
roster
is
jenny,
green.
F
Yeah
I
can
tell
that
I'm
gonna
have
to
ask
you
to
reorganize
the
roster
every
once
in
a
while.
So
so
I
don't
always
have
to
be
at
the
front,
but-
and
I
would
say
kavelin
who
I
have
known
for
a
long
time
said
it
beautifully.
So
I
don't
you
know
I
feel,
like
you
spoke
my
truth
as
well.
I
would
add
a
couple
things.
I
have
been
working
in
food
systems
and
in
this
space
for
a
really
long
time.
In
fact,
I
was
involved
in
the
creation
of
homegrown
minneapolis.
F
What
was
it
15
years
ago?
Kristen-
I
don't
remember
but
a
long
time
ago,
and
so
it's
for
me-
and
this
is
my
first
time
on
the
council-
it's
exciting
to
kind
of
be
on
the
other
side
to
really
dig
into
you
know
this
conversation
I
am
an
educator
and
so
teaching
and
educating
and
engaging
people,
whether
they're
students
at
the
university
or
community
folks
or
my
colleagues,
and
you
know,
people
that
I'm
sharing
the
council
with
or
any
of
the
number
of
different
hats
that
I
wear.
F
So
I
I
feel
that
education
is
really
really
fundamental
to
all
of
this
work,
and
I
teaching
is
one
of
the
words
that
I
put
up
there.
I
don't
see
teaching
in
the
traditional
sense,
but
I
see
it
in
terms
of
how
we
how
we
get
our
work,
done
and
change
the
system
and
I'm
pretty
passionate
about
that
change.
That's
why
I've
been
doing
this
work
for
so
long,
I'm
very
very
excited
about
the
food
action
plan
and
want
to
make
sure
that
that
moves
forward.
F
F
So
that's
a
that's
a
big
motivator
for
me
and
always
always
always
meeting
new
collaborators
partners
in
this
work
and
reconnecting
with
old
ones,
both
of
whom
are
in
this
group.
So.
A
AD
Hi,
I
am
keeley,
I
am
thinking.
G
A
lot
about
how
urban
agriculture
and
you
know,
rural
agriculture
should
meet
in
the
middle
in
a
way
that
we
all
we
all
eat
and
we
all
need
to
sort
of
be
connected
to
our
food
and
that's
not
a
reality
for
a
lot
of
people.
I
grew
up
on
a
dairy
farm
and
spent
a
lot
of
time
doing
different,
like
community
organizing
things
around
gardening
and
food.
G
I
lived
on
the
east
coast
for
a
while
and
did
an
americorps
service
term
in
new
york
city,
where
we
were
working
at
the
housing
authority,
doing
different
projects
with
community
members
who
lived
in
public
housing
developments
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
could
do
things
with
zero
money,
which
continues
to
kind
of
be
a
thing
about
the
food
system.
Is
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
thought
placed
on
how
to
fund
community-driven
agriculture?
G
So
I'm
really
excited
about
this
action
plan
of
how
community
members
can
take
ownership
of
the
way
that
we
exist
and
eat
and
tried
to
connect
with
each
other
in
a
city
like
minneapolis,
I
went
to
the
the
university
of
minnesota
and,
having
just
been
here
as
a
student
and
now
coming
back
here
and
living
as
a
mom
and
trying
to
reconnect
through
this
group,
I
think,
is
really
exciting
for
me
and
my
work
at
conservation
minnesota,
trying
to
think
about
how
soil
health
and
sustainable
agriculture
has
to
be
all
the
way
from
you
know
local
gardens
through
to
bigger.
G
You
know
agriculture
and
family
farms
throughout
the
state.
So
it's
very
much
an
issue
that
small
family
farmers
are
thinking
about
as
well
and
trying
to
find
the
right
resources-
and
I
think
policy
is
a
big
catalyst
for
changing
the
way
that
people
give
themselves
permission
to
change
and
try
something
new
so
really
excited
about
this.
A
It's
beautiful,
that's
that's
my
area.
I
look
forward
to
that
too.
Thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
next
on
the
roster
would
be
matt
kirsten.
H
I
guess
I
think
the
the
main
word
that
I
really
focused
on
was
was
community
and,
like
my
first
connection,
is
sort
of
the
food
system
was
my
first
job
out
of
college.
I
was
a
line
cook
at
sea,
salt
eatery
and
at
minnehaha
falls,
and
so
I
really
got.
H
I
learned
how
much
of
a
hub
food
was
for
gathering
folks
together
and
then
later
more
recently,
I
served
in
congressman
keith
ellison's
office,
where
I
met
marcus
and
devon,
and
many
of
you
other
folks
and
we
convened
a
food,
a
food.
H
What
we
call
the
food
security
round
table
to
inform
keith's
policy
work
around
the
farm
bill
and
so
really
got
a
lot
out
of
the
the
passion
and
the
great
network
of
organizations
that
are
doing
meaningful
work
on
our
food
system
and
wanted
to
sort
of
remain
engaged
and
involved
in
that
work.
A
J
Hi
everybody
jalen
elam,
a
lot
of
people
call
me
jay,
so
feel
free
to
comment
that
as
well.
J
Let's
see
so
for
me,
food
has
really
just
always
been
a
common
thread
in
my
life,
just
like
from
an
early
age,
and
so
eventually,
I
became
obsessed
with
learning
as
much
as
I
can
about
it
and
decided
to
study
food
science
in
school,
which
led
me
to
which
even
just
learning
that
there
was
a
science
and
that
I
could
study
that
in
college
was
kind
of
mind-blowing
for
me,
but
that
led
me
to
enroll
at
tuskegee
university,
which
you
know
pioneer
and
in
terms
of
like
research
and
agriculture
and
george
washington
carver,
and
so
I
think
that
experience
just
like
really
fit
for
me
and
just
kind
of
spoke
to
the
alignment
that
I
had
in
the
food
space
and
eventually
led
me
to
research
and
development,
sensory
science
and
really
getting
into
the
weeds
of
like
actually
creating
and
innovating
food
products.
J
And
so
I
think
that
you
know
now
that
I've
had
experience
on
that
side.
I'm
really
interested
in
growing
the
impact
that
you
know
that
food
has
and
the
impact.
That's
needed
in
our
communities
and
so
really
joining
the
food
council
for
me
was
one
way
to
start
building
on
that
within
my
journey
and
food
so
really
excited
to
be
here
and
learn
from
you
guys
as
well.
A
It's
beautiful,
yeah,
welcome
and
thanks
for
being
here
with
us
julie
next
on,
our
roster
is
kevin
ellis.
N
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
kevin
ellis,
I'm
actually
not
from
the
midwest.
Originally
I'm
from,
I
grew
up
in
rural
texas
outside
of
dallas.
Essentially
my
background
originally
was
in
animal
science
and
more
specifically
poultry
science,
which
is
kind
of
how
I
fell
backwards
into
the
food
policy
realm.
N
I
was
living
in
san
antonio
at
the
time
and
got
brought
in
to
help
use
my
expertise
in
chickens
to
settle
a
dispute
between
the
city
and
backyard
chicken
owners,
and
from
that
I
got
real
invested
in
the
free
policy
council
in
san
antonio
and
one
of
the
words
I
use
was
cycles
just
because
I
think
what
we
call
the
food
system
is
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
a
lot
of
cycles
that
are
all
happening
at
different
times
all
at
the
same
time,
especially
in
cities.
N
You
know,
there's
people
are
coming
going,
buildings
are
popping
up
or
coming
down
seasons.
Things
are
growing
and
I
just
find
all
that
really
fascinating
from
there.
I
went
to
the
sustainable
ag
program
at
iowa
state
university,
where
I
got
degrees
in
sustainable
ag
and
urban
regional
planning,
and
now
I'm
here,
working
as
a
conservation
specialist
for
hennepin
county
helping
to
work
on
soil
and
water
conservation
projects
work
with
farmers
in
western
hennepin
county.
I'm
trying
to
do
some
work
here
within
the
city
of
minneapolis
as
well,
so
yeah.
N
I'm
really
excited
to
dig
in
on
all
the
work
here
and
contribute
what
I
can.
A
It's
beautiful
welcome
yeah
next
on
our
list
would
be
nolan
green.
K
Hi
nolan
green
again,
I
represent
twin
cities,
co-op
partners,
which
is
a
inorganic
and
local
produced
foods,
warehouse
and
two
grocery
retail
stores,
the
wedge
and
lyndon
hills
co-op,
and
I
have
been
working
with
food
for
25
plus
years
now,
in
all
sorts
of
various
roles,
from
restaurants
to
grocery,
to
consulting
for
co-ops
across
the
country
and
have
been
living
in
minneapolis
for
the
past
15
years
with
my
wife-
and
you
know
again
it
for
me,
being
a
part
of
the
food
council
has
a
lot
of
different.
K
You
know
reasons
why
I've
made
my
way
here.
One
is
a
huge
passion
for
food
in
general
and
two,
knowing
that
I've
had
an
opportunity
in
my
life,
many
of
times
to
you,
know,
learn
about
food
and
be
involved
with
food.
I
realize
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
even
have
the
access
or
wear
you
know
knowledge
to
know
where
to
go
for
these
things
or
even
just
anyone
who
is
going
to
you
know,
introduce
them
to
these
things.
K
So
I
feel
you
know
that
it's
kind
of
something
that
I
wanted
to
be
passionate
about
is
just
kind
of
finding
ways
where
we
can
bring
that
to
our
community
and
on
the
flip
side,
being
very
good
stewards
to
our
environment
and
to
the
world
around
us
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
our
best
to
make
it
better
for
the
future
generations.
K
So
and
that's
why
I'm
here
a
second
time
so.
L
Hi
there
brandon
griffin,
with
the
sony
foundation,
primarily
my
job,
is
working
and
helping
provide
food
resources
to
food
deserts
and
underrepresented,
underserved
communities,
the
twin
cities,
metro,
really
in
our
first
exercise.
Looking
at
the
spirit
of
collaboration,
looking
at
a
lot
of
people
and
familiar
faces
on
this
call,
which
is
awesome
and
helping
better
serve
our
community,
you
know
addressing
food
deserts
and
just
really
advocating
for
different
communities
and
people
that
we
serve
and-
and
you
know,
just
looking
forward
to
making
connections
and
being
very
innovative.
L
A
lot
of
the
people
on
this
call
that
that
I've
already
shared
have
already
shared
and
also
I've
worked
with
previously
have
a
lot
of
innovative
programs
or
ways
we
partnered
previously.
So
just
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
really
help
make
and
move
the
needle
in
addressing
food
insecurity
and
finding
sustainable
outcomes
and
how
we
can
really
get
food
out
of
people
who
need
it
so
really
happy
to
be
here
very
excited
to
learn
a
lot.
A
It's
beautiful
welcome
next
on
our
roster
would
be
rebecca
gross.
A
Okay,
I
think
we
can
move
to
the
next
person
would
be
kim.
A
Did
someone
say
something
is
rebecca
on
there
we'll
go
to
kim
haley.
A
Awesome,
andrea
anyway,.
O
Hi
everybody
andrea
in
away.
The
word
that
I
used
actually
most
in
both
of
the
prompts
was
was
learning.
I
think
my
journey
here
in
the
food
council
is
a
little
bit
different
than
many
of
yours,
as
my
professional
expertise
is
not
related
to
the
food
security
food
justice
world,
but
is
rather
in
affordable
housing
policy
and
development.
O
I
have
been
through
quite
the
crash
course
in
this
world,
starting
in
the
summer
of
2020,
as
the
city
of
minneapolis
got
more
directly
involved
a
sort
of
hands-on
way
in
food
security
and
and
food
deserts
during
that
time,
and
have
really
enjoyed
my
time
on
the
food
council.
Learning
from
all
of
you
about
the
wonderful
work
that's
happening
here
in
minneapolis
around
food
security
and
food
justice.
I
think
the
longer
I
participate
in
this.
O
A
Seeing
you
again
welcome
next
on
the
list
will
be
danielle
isaacson.
P
P
Excuse
me
and
specifically
with
a
program
called
the
egg
water
quality
certification
program.
So
we
work
with
producers
throughout
the
state,
both
urban.
You
know
up
to
the
thousand
acre
row
crop
folks
to
to
implement
conservation
practices
that
protect.
You
know:
water,
quality,
soil,
health,
carbon
sequestration,
ecosystem
services,
all
that
good
stuff.
P
We
also
have
some
really
great
close
partnerships
with
organizations
around
the
state,
such
as
renewing
the
countryside,
which
I
heard
mentioned
today,
and
so
it's
just
so
great
to
be
here
to
be
connecting
with
you
all
so
getting
to
the
questions.
So
what
words
came
to
mind
for
me,
one
of
the
first
ones
was
environment.
P
I
mean
that
was
that's
my
kind
of
educational
background,
so
that's
kind
of
really
where
it
started
for
me
with
the
connection
to
agriculture,
but
also
community,
I'm
one
of
those
folks
that
contributed
to
that
community.
On
the
word
cloud,
I've
been
involved
with
our
my
neighborhood
association,
which
I'm
in
nokomis
east,
so
down
by
lake
nokomis
by
the
va
and
so
they've
throughout
the
pandemic.
The
neighborhood
association
has
put
together
this
really
robust
and
impressive
food
distribution
program
and
set
of
events,
and
so
just
getting
to
volunteer
and
work
with
them.
P
P
You
know
two
weeks
before
the
state
shutdown,
so
I
just
I
feel,
like
I
have
this
new
other
new
perspective,
thinking
about
children's
nutrition
and
access
for
kids
and
schools,
and
so
that's
something
that's
on
my
mind
as
well
and
then
for
the
next
question
kind
of
a
couple:
things
that
I'm
really
excited
to
learn
more
about
or
be
more
involved
in
and
focus
on,
is
food
security,
of
course,
so
many
ways
to
approach
that
and
so
many
ways
to
think
about
that
and
opportunities.
P
But
I
think
that's
a
really
important
focus
for
the
city
and
then
I'm
also
thinking
about
how
to
support
kind
of
the
local
growers
and
producers
in
the
city.
There
certainly
are
quite
a
few
and
kind
of
what
their
markets
are
and
that
really
super
local
economy,
of
course,
with
kind
of
that
important
focus
on
equity
and
cultural
resources
and
access
and
all
that
good
stuff.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
that
I'm
excited
about.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
and
I
look
forward
to
learning
as
well.
A
Beautiful
yeah,
thank
you
for
that
and
that's
that's
amazing.
We
need
support
and
all
those
things
you
just
named
and
look
forward
to
being
on
this
council
with
you
next
on
our
list
would
be
kevin.
A
Kia
percep.
Is
that
what
it
is.
AE
Yeah,
it's
it's
got
percent
hi
everyone,
I'm
kevin
garperson
with
the
state
of
minneapolis
health
department,
the
food
lodging
and
pool
division,
mainly
yeah.
My
profession
brought
me
to
this
council,
our
group.
We
do
food
inspections
where
regular
regulatory
inspectors
basically
inspecting
lodging
hotels,
hotels,
mostly
restaurants,
for
food
safety,
but
I'm
here
in
a
capacity
where
I
don't
want
folks
to
look
at
us
as
just
regulators,
but
look
at
us
as
a
resource
group
in
a
support
group.
AE
I
want
to
ask
the
hard
questions,
and
hopefully
I
could
provide
the
support
and
the
answers
that
to
get
where
we
we
need
to
get
so
yeah
look
at
us
as
a
resource,
and
we
have
tons
of
people
on
our
team
that
are
in
farmer's
market
food,
security,
short-term
events,
very
different
sections
of
food
safety
and
and
the
food
realm.
So
please,
you
know
just
use
us
as
a
as
a
great
resource.
So
I'm
glad
to
be
here.
A
Beautiful
welcome
kevin
next
on
the
list
will
be
kristen
klingler.
S
You'll
probably
also
hear
me
talk
about
beverages
as
much
as
I
talk
about
food
because
to
me
it's
just
as
important
about
what
we
are
drinking
as
to
what
we're
eating
so
you'll
probably
hear
me
mention
the
health
department's
rethink
your
drink
initiative
trying
to
promote
tap
water
consumption
instead
of
sugary
drinks,
and
I
think
the
word
cloud
words
that
I
really
tried
to
contribute
and
that
resonated
with
me
were
ones
about
relationship
and
support
and
connection.
I'm
looking
forward
to
learning
from
all
of
you
about
the
good
work.
A
Thank
you
christine.
This
is
amazing
having
you
back
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
approaching
the
possibilities
with
you
next
on,
the
list
would
be,
will
locker.
T
Thank
you,
marcus
hi
everyone,
so
my
name
is:
will
I'm
representing
cappy
usa
when
I
originally
applied
for
the
food
council?
I
was
actually
the
food
shelf,
referral
and
intake
coordinator.
T
I
have
since
moved
on
to
being
the
housing
stability
coordinator,
but
because
of
staffing
shortfalls
and
everything
I'm
still
working
in
the
food
shelf
very
consistently
and
a
lot
of
my
projects
both
in
and
out
of
housing
stability
overlap
with
a
lot
of
the
food
system.
Work
we've
been
doing,
I've
only
been
in
the
industry,
so
to
speak,
for
maybe
about
two
and
a
half
going
on
three
years.
T
I
was
working
at
pillsbury,
united
communities
after
I
had
worked
at
cappy,
my
first
time
in
americorps
back
in
2019
2020
and
from
there
most
of
my
experience
there,
and
here
at
cappy,
has
been
direct
services
within
the
food
system
so
physically,
like
bringing
people
in
doing
government
compliance
paperwork
and
then
physically,
giving
them
food
or
physically
picking
up
food
to
eventually
go
give
to
them,
and
that's
kind
of
been
that's
kind
of
been
my
focus
in
that
work
for
the
last
few
years,
army
guy
veteran
with
the
national
guard.
T
So
kind
of
like
that
very
task
and
purpose-driven
just
physically
giving
the
thing
to
people
has
been
kind
of
the
extent
of
my
knowledge,
and
my
hopes
on
the
food
council
mostly
include
wanting
to
talk
about
like
funding
for
more
staffing
opportunities
within
food
shelves,
especially
within
underserved
and
historically
excluded
communities,
as
well
as
trying
to
build
a
more
robust
system
to
get
healthy,
dry,
snack
foods
to
unhouse
community
members.
T
That
is
something
I've
recently
been
taking
on
just
at
cappy,
but
would
also
be
interested
in
seeing
if
there's
some
way
to
get
that
on
a
more
systemic
level.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
at
so
far
and
looking
forward
to
see
what
we
all
can
do.
A
Oh
yeah,
I
like
the
enthusiasm
and
I'm
welcome
well
and
thank
you
for
your
service,
I'm
I
too,
I'm
a
vet
and
I
really
appreciate
your
presence
on
this
council
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
U
Hi
everyone,
I'm
james,
it's
great
to
meet
everyone
and
hear
from
folks.
So
far.
The
five
words
that
I
pulled
kind
of
across
both
of
the
questions
were
words
or
phrases.
I
guess
were
community
and
youth
voice
and
equity
relationships
and
environment,
and
for
me,
that
kind
of,
like
sums
up
a
lot
of
different
moving
pieces
for
me.
AF
U
Along
the
way,
and
then
a
lot
of
like
youth,
engagement
and
youth
voice,
type
of
work,
primarily
in
connection
with
youth
prize
and
some
kind
of
in-between
roles
right
now,
but
just
really
excited
and
hopeful
about
all
the
space
that
there
is
for,
like
community
driven
food
initiatives
and
excited
about
the
the
food
action
plan
as
well,
and
just
really
looking
forward
to
being.
In
this
space.
With
everybody.
A
Amazing
yeah
welcome
james
next
on
the
list
will
be
leslie
modric.
V
Hi
everybody
leslie
modrak
again,
this
is
my
first
year
and
with
the
council,
I'm
really
excited,
especially
after
hearing
everybody
introduce
themselves
and
talk
about
their
interests.
I'm
a
long-term
health
care
worker.
V
That's
been
my
profession
for
many
years
and
I
concurrently
spent
16
years
in
mostly
coordination
positions
at
sioux
line,
community
garden,
which
is
located
in
the
city
and
it's
30
years
of
of
working
the
soil.
V
V
And
so
that's
what
really
attracted
me
to
the
food
council,
I'm
a
really
big
believer
in
community
and
the
power
of
community
and
collaboration
and
think
that's
where
we
all
you
know
need
to
go
especially
after
these
past
couple
years,
and
so
that's
what
really
drives
me
is
working
with
you
all
and
and
doing
some
things
around
food
security,
equity
and
also
preservation
of
our
soil
and
caring
for
it.
So
thank
you.
A
God,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
leslie
looking
forward
to
absorbing
more
information
and
learning
alongside
you
next
on
the
list
would
be
elizabeth.
W
Hi
marcus
thanks
all
these
eloquent
speakers,
yeah.
B
W
Just
first
time
being
on
this
side
of
policy
this
any
you
know
I've
never
done
this
before.
So
I'm
really
excited.
I
work
for
child
girls.
Catering,
like
I
said
in
northeast
minneapolis.
W
It's
a
woman-owned,
sustainable
caterer,
so
we
think
about
systems
here,
quite
a
bit,
not
just
where
our
food
comes
from,
but
how
we
the
waste
we
create,
but
the
biggest
thing
that
we
really
focus
on
is
the
people,
and
so
that's
our
clients,
but,
most
importantly,
our
employees-
and
you
know
all
these.
W
All
these
things
lead
back
to
people
and
community,
and
thinking
of
you
know
not
just
the
food
system,
but
talking
listening
to
you
guys
here
about
housing
systems
and
everything
that
is
so
tied
together,
environmental
and
so
just
really
excited
to
learn
from
this
group
and
yeah.
Thank
you
for
for
having
me
thank.
A
You
for
being
here
welcome
also
next
on
our
list
is
the
incredible
devon,
nolan
vaughan,
and
here.
X
Yes,
I'm
here
doing
some
serious
multitasking,
it's
it's
crazy,
so
first
matt,
I
thought
that
name
was
familiar
good
to
see
you
jay,
I'm
so
glad
you're.
Here
my
daughter
wants
to
be
a
food
scientist,
and
now
I
get
to
tell
her.
I
know
another
black
woman
who's,
a
food
scientist,
I'm
so
excited
and
thank
you
to
kate
and
sega
for
your
leadership.
X
X
X
What
I'm
really
interested
in
having
been
a
part
of
the
food
action
planning
from
the
when
it
was
just
a
dream
really
working
on
you
know
getting
that
into
the
final
stages,
but
really
getting
to
that
to
the
actions
behind
it,
right
that
it's
not
just
a
plan
that
that
we've
all
poured
our
hearts
and
souls
into
what
community
has
contributed
to
when
it
just
sits
on
a
shelf.
We've
been
very
candid
about
that
from
the
beginning.
X
I'm
really
interested
in
the
economic
approach
to
the
what's
wrong
with
our
food
system.
Right,
like
every
issue,
is
an
economic
issue.
These
conditions
are
actually
engineered.
We
are
not
disparate,
I'm
just
gonna,
you're
gonna
hear
me
say
that
over
and
over
because
my
community
in
north
minneapolis
is
oftentimes.
What
we
talk
about
when
we
talk
about
disparity,
we're
not
disparate
we're
actually
resource
rich.
So
what
happens
if
we
flip
that
narrative
on
its
head-
and
I'm
also
really
interested
in
the
connections
to
you,
know
our
supporting
our
local
food
system?
X
Those
of
us
who
are
foodies
know
that
our
industrialized
food
system
is
already
failing.
It's
already
failing
who
remembers
all
those
barges
that
were
stuck
in
the
ocean.
The
foodies
knew
what
that
meant
right
like,
but
there's
a
whole
population
of
our
community
that
is
not
tuned
in
tapped
and
turned
on
that
way
and
will
unfortunately
be
in
reactionary
mode
when,
when
things
go,
go
bad.
So
what
would
it
look
like
to
have
a
local,
sustainable,
just
food
system,
so
we're
not
relying
on
all
that
right?
X
I'm
trying
to
be
I'm
also
trying
to
be
concise,
because
you
all
said
so
many
wonderful
things
already.
So
I'm
also
interested
in
this
idea
of
you
know
the
connections
and
how
resources
get
to
our
city.
I
have
had
the
wonderful
pleasure
and
privilege
of
being
involved
both
at
state
level,
regional,
national
and
now
international
policy
and
so
really
interested
in
making
those
connections.
X
We
are
our
local
grassroots,
on
the
ground
work
here
at
homegrown
and
how
do
things
like
the
farm
bill
and
the
child
nutrition
reauthorization
act
and
all
the
federal
blah
blah?
You
know
things
if
you
want
to
get
into
federal
policy,
we
can
do
that,
all
those
things
and
how
and
how
they
impact
what
happens
here
in
our
city.
So
I'm
just
going
to
say
this
is
a
badass
group,
I'm
ready,
let's
get
her
done.
Thank
you.
A
A
Oh,
she
did
kate
sibo.
Z
Hi,
all
again,
I
won't
talk
too
long,
since
you
already
heard
me
talk
earlier
I'll,
just
say
since
helen
had
to
sign
off
earlier
that,
as
she
mentioned
earlier,
she
is
the
community
rep
for
minneapolis
public
schools,
and
you
know
minneapolis
was
thrilled
to
have
her
as
our
community
rep,
and
she
has
just
a
ton
of
experience
in
local
food
systems,
work
and
is
also
doing
really
neat
work
now
with
the
minnehaha
creek
watershed,
so
I'm
sure
you'll
get
to
meet
her,
but
we're
we're
glad
as
a
as
a
school
district
that
she's
our
rep
and
again,
I'm
I'm
currently
I'm
attending
this
meeting,
while
I
can
but
I'll
be
transitioning
from
minneapolis
public
schools,
but
our
district
does
hold
a
permanent
spot
on
the
food
council
and
we're
so
grateful
for
that,
and
so
as
farm
to
school
coordinator
for
the
last
five
years,
I've
held
the
position
on
the
council
and
there
will
be
a
new
person
stepping
into
this
role,
and
you
know
I
I'll
I'll
speak
for
them
in
advance,
and
I
think
they'll
agree
that
this
is
just
such
an
incredible
council
to
be
a
part
of
for
our
district's
culinary
and
wellness
services
department
and
for
our
farm
to
school
work
in
particular.
Z
So
you
know
I
work
for
the
district
to
manage
our
partnerships
with
local
farms
to
source
local
sustainably
grown
food
that
we
serve
to
our
students
and
also
think
about
how
we
engage
students
in
hands-on
learning
in
the
garden
and
in
the
classroom
in
the
cafeteria
to
learn
about
where
their
food
comes
from
and
and
why
they
should
why
they
should
care
about
that
and
what
it
means
to
eat,
seasonally
and
locally,
and
just
to
learn
to
see
themselves
as
a
as
an
active
player
in
their
food
system.
Z
So
we're
really
grateful
to
be
here
and
while
I'm
heading
out,
I
look
forward
to
staying
in
touch
with
the
food
council
I'll,
be
headed
to
the
minnesota
department
of
agriculture
still
working
on
developing
wholesale
markets
and
supporting
farm
to
school
across
the
state.
So
I
look
forward
to
still
attending
meetings
and
I'm
also
on
the
seward
co-op
board
of
directors.
So
the
food
council
is
important
for
our
community
and
the
co-op
as
well.
Z
So
I
won't
be
a
stranger
and
I'll
just
say:
you
know
that
minneapolis
public
schools
in
this
next
term
is
really
excited
to
see
where
all
this
work
takes
us.
The
food
action
plan
in
particular
is
so
exciting,
and
the
council
is
just
a
really
great
way
that
our
district
can
keep
our
our
work
grounded
in
community
and
make
sure
that
we're
being
a
collaborative
member
of
our
local
food
system
so
yeah,
thanks
for
all
your
collaboration
to
come.
A
Beautiful
gotta
come
visit
once
in
a
while.
Okay
can't
just
leave
us
here
next
on
the
list
would
be
julie,
wong.
A
AA
Okay,
because
I
can't
see
myself
so
I'm
glad
you
can
hear
me
at
least
so,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
I'm
the
founder
of
new
fisheries.
I
hope
to
bring
the
perspective
of
a
foot
on
entrepreneur
and
a
small
business
to
the
council,
specifically
the
challenges
in
bring
food
to
the
tables
to
our
tables.
I
have
a
background
in
an
mba
in
entrepreneurship,
as
well
as
finance
and
a
dual
degree
in
international
relations.
A
Welcome
julie,
I
believe
that
is
the
last
on
our
list.
I
I
didn't
you
know,
answer
the
question
or
tamara,
so
I'm
going
to
go
first
again,
my
name
is
marcus
carr.
I
am
a
program
director
in
north
minneapolis
for
a
26
year
old
youth
development,
urban
ag
organization
called
youth
farm
spends
throughout
saint
paul
and
minneapolis.
A
It's
been
a
awesome
experience
for
me.
It's
absolutely
changed
the
way
I
see
the
world,
especially
in
my
immediate
environment.
The
work
I've
been
doing
with
young
people
is
really
to
create
our
own
possibilities
where
we
stand
and
hope
that
that's
something
that
connects
to
everything
else
outside
of
us,
so
the
work
starts
here
with
us
and
where,
where
we're,
where
we're
living
in
our
communities,
devon,
nolan,
is
also
a
huge
part
of
that
work.
I'm
very
proud
to
be
a
part
of
everyone
on
this
call.
A
A
I
am
very
frequently
on
the
ground,
I'm
one
director
that
you
see
in
the
dirt
a
lot
running
around
with
the
army
of
babies
and
it's
my
happy
place,
and
I
love
growing.
I'm
also
some
of
the
words
I
used
were
like
farmer
educator
producer
this
year
this
past
year
I
started
my
first
farming
business,
producing
ferments
and
hot
sauce
titles
and
kimchis
and
stuff
and
did
pretty
well
I'll,
just
as
an
experiment
is
to
show
my
older
youth
in
high
school.
A
What
this
looked
like,
what
what
the
working
world
could
be
and
trying
to
introduce
them
to
another
possibility,
and
because
of
that,
what
I,
what
I
gained
from
that
is
knowing
that
they're
stronger,
healthier,
well
aware
of
some
of
the
shift
shifting
of
our
social
fabric
when
it
comes
to
economics
when
it
comes
to
their
future.
A
I
want
them
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation,
so
in
the
future
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
young
people
joining
us
and
my
ask
of
them
is
to
take
notes
and
they're
my
bosses.
They
get
to
tell
me
if
I'm
doing
good
or
not.
So
if
anyone
have
any
complaint
call.
My
kids,
north
minneapolis
we've
been
on
the
ground,
really
trying
to
balance
the
benefits
of
nature
by
creating
green
spaces
that
have
impact
in
our
neighborhoods
in
a
way
that
you
can't
believe,
and
the
proof
isn't
important.
A
This
is
really
the
the
relationships.
Images,
videos,
data,
the
amount
of
food.
We
grow
the
amount
of
people
we
feed
the
creativity
around
actually
making
sure
that
we're
moving
on
the
ground
is
a
very
powerful
thing
and
I
am
very
proud
to
be
a
part
of
that
movement.
A
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
I'll
pass
it
to
tamara
tamara
if
you're
still
there.
If
you
do,
you
want
to
tell
us
some
of
the
phrases
she
used
for
answering
the
questions
and
what
are
you
looking
for
from
the
food
council
this
year.
C
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
I
actually
realized.
I
didn't
participate
since
I'm
not
an
official
member,
but
I
am
really
honored
to
be
working
with
you
all
as
your
partner
in
the
city
community
partnership.
I
think
the
I
can't
believe
I've
been
with
the
city
almost
eight
years
in
this
role.
It
just
kind
of
blows
my
mind.
C
Of
course
time
is
a
warp
right
now,
but
we
we
identified
these
goals
to
build
a
more
just
climate,
resilient
and
equitable
local
food
system
and
economy,
and
those
are
the
you
know,
aspirations
and
goals.
I
I
truly
authentically
really
strive
to
to
help
you
all
accomplish
with
the
food
action
plan
in
our
work.
It's
just
really.
C
It's
been
such
an
honor
to
to
be
knowing
many
of
you
already
before
in
different
collaborative
work
for
me,
being
in
collaboration
with
community
and
helping
to
leverage
the
city,
resources
and
policy
to
make
the
change
community
says
is
overdue,
is
just
really
a
privilege
for
me
to
be
your
partner,
and
so
I
appreciate
all
of
the
energy
and
and
insights
folks
have
already
started
bringing
to
the
the
new
cohort
and
really
look
forward
to
getting
to
to
know
you
all
better
through
this,
and
I
think
marcus
your
point
about
results.
C
It
just
really
resonates,
and
I'm
here
for
that.
You
know
we're
here
to
make
some
some
change
and
you'll
hear
more
in
the
meetings
to
come
about
changes.
The
food
council
has
contributed
to
in
in
that
first
round
of
of
homegrown
and
in
all
of
the
years
since
it's
been
a
very,
very
active
group
and
you're
joining
a
group
that
is
ready
to
continue
clearly
making
more
change,
and
so
I
think
you
know
devon.
I
think
you
just
popped
back.
C
I
mean,
I
think
we
we
share
that
we're
here
to
to
see
results,
that
the
relationships
are
are
part
of
what
makes
that
happen,
but
the
the
results
also
speak
for
themselves
of
this
really
important
collaborative
work.
So
I
just
as
your
city
partner,
appreciate,
getting
to
do
this
work
together
and
I'm
here
for
your
questions
and
comments
behind
the
scenes.
C
We're
still
dealing
with
some
administrative
technical
difficulties
in
launching
the
new
cohort
in
our
online
system
and
so
appreciate
your
patience
as
we
try
to
get
all
of
our
systems
in
sync
together,
and
you
know
over
these
next
couple
months.
I
think
we'll
we'll
get
that.
C
Electric
vehicle
rolling,
more
quietly
and
slowly
down
its
path,
so
I
think
that
re
becca
are
you
back?
I
think
there
was
one
other
person
who
didn't
get
to
speak.
I
saw
her
come
back
and
now
I
don't
know
if
you're
gone
again.
M
M
Could
be
that
could
be
it
but
yeah.
So
I
work
for
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board
and
I
coordinate
our
community
garden
program,
which
is
kind
of
main
function,
is
to
start
community
gardens
in
our
neighborhood
parks
that
are
accessible
and
run
in
kind
of
a
different
way
than
a
lot
of
community
gardens
have
been
run
historically,
where
we
we've
kind
of
removed.
M
That
first
come
first
serve
element
from
from
the
management
of
the
gardens,
so
that
there's
always
plots
available
for
new
people,
and
I
think
well,
I
feel
super
lucky,
for
I
would
say
two
primary
things.
One
is
to
like
get
to
witness
people's
first
interaction
with
growing
their
own
food
people,
who
you
know,
have
never
gotten
to
garden
before
getting
to
work
alongside
them
and
then
also
to
get
to
work
alongside
people
who
have
been
gardening
for
30
years.
M
You
know
a
lot
of
elders
who
now
live
in
apartments
and
don't
have
access
to
land
anymore
and
get
to
share
their
knowledge
with
you
know
with
me
and
with
other
people
that
they
garden
with.
As
far
as
like
personal
connections,
one
of
the
words
that
I
put
down
is
family.
I
I
have
two
kids
and
also
live
with
my
two
nephews,
so
thinking
about
thinking
about
them
trying
to
keep
four
kids
fed
in
a
day.
M
Sometimes
it
feels
like
it's
all
we're
doing
is
like
cooking
and
preparing
food
and
putting
a
lot
of
effort
into
like
engaging
them
and
where
their
food
comes
from
and
and
the
kinds
of
foods
that
we
eat,
and
and
appreciating
that
so
yeah
looking
forward
to
getting
to
know
all
of
you-
and
I
would
say
one
of
my
big
goals
for
food
council
this
time
around.
I'm
super
excited
to
see
the
food
action
plan
you
know
really
coming
to
fruition.
M
It's
been
pretty
awesome
to
be
a
part
of
that,
and
also
hoping
to
connect
a
lot
more
with
all
of
you.
I
was
there
for
a
few
in-person
meetings
and
then
pivoted
to
virtuals,
which
is
always
just
more
of
a
challenge
to
get
to
know
people,
so
I
hope
to
do
more
of
that,
whether
it's
online
or
in
person
eventually.
A
Yeah
welcome
back
we're
back
home.
We
appreciate
your
presence
on
the
council,
I'm
I'm
looking
forward
to
you
know
being
in
person
too.
I
you
know,
I'm
I'm
what
you
call
a
practice
extrovert.
A
So
I'm
really
good
at
being
in
huge
crowds
of
people.
I'm
and
I've
been
in
huge
crowds
of
people
most
of
my
life,
and
you
know
when
I'm
done,
I
run
home
and
go
and
recharge
and
get
ready
to
do
it
again,
and
it's
been
the
story
of
my
life
doing
this
work.
It's
just
really
engaging
people
on
the
ground
and
gathering
the
herd
around
the
you
know
like
the
subject
itself,
so
yeah
welcome
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
this
year
and
I
think.
A
We're
going
to
move
on
to
andrea
from
the
city
office
talking
to
us
a
little
bit
about
the
mayor's
office
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
andrea
on
the
call.
O
Yep,
I'm
right
here,
hi.
Everyone
me
again,
tamara
asked
me
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
sort
of
the
context
of
how
the
homegrown
food
council
sort
of
exists
in
context
with
the
work
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
just
to
help
give
a
little
bit
of
context
and
grounding
as
this
work
starts.
So
I'm
going
to
be
pretty
brief,
but
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
sense
of
how
your
work
interacts
with
with
our
work
here
within
the
city.
O
So
we've
got
many
boards
and
commissions
that
that
meet
on
all
kinds
of
different
topics.
Personally,
I
get
to
be
involved
not
only
with
the
food
council,
but
also
with
the
advisory
committee
for
housing
and
the
advisory
committee
on
aging.
So
there's
just
a
couple
examples
of
other
kinds
of
groups
that
that
meet
to
talk
about
important
issues
in
the
city
and
the
sort
of
the
purpose
of
the
boards
and
commissions
are
to
help
shape
public
policy
by
advising
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
O
So
sort
of
the
question
is:
how
does
that
advising
happen
in
the
food
council,
which
is
different
for
different
boards
and
commissions?
The
food
council
has
a
mayor's
representative,
which
is
myself
and
then
a
city
council
representative,
who
hopefully
will
be
joining
us
in
the
february
meeting,
with
a
new
term
they're
still
sorting
out
which
council
members
are
joining,
which
which
committees
and
so
on
the
food
council.
We
formally
participate
in
the
the
council
itself.
O
Other
committees
have
sort
of
more
of
an
adjacent
role
where
for
the
housing
committee,
for
example,
I
attend
all
those
meetings.
O
I'm
there
to
answer
questions
and
you
know,
fill
in
information
if
people
want,
but
I
don't
participate
actively
in
the
committee
itself,
just
there
more
as
an
informational
purpose,
so
different
committees
function
in
different
ways,
but
in
terms
of
the
advising,
I
think,
there's
sort
of
two
p
two
pieces,
there's
a
formal
and
the
informal,
and
so
the
formal
which
we've
talked
various
people
have
talked
quite
a
bit
about
one
of
the
ways
to
do
that
is
through
an
action
plan
like
the
food
action
plan
that
this
committee
has
been
so
lovingly
working
on
for
the
past
few
years,
and
so
that's
where
the
committees
are.
O
B
O
Create
a
document
that
then
eventually
becomes
something
that's
passed
by
the
console
that
will
become
part
of
sort
of
the
the
guiding
documents
that
we
use
when
we
are
then
going
to
create
policy,
development
or
program
and
project
implementation,
so
things
that
we
refer
back
to
and
there's
lots
of
other
examples
in
the
city
of
those
kinds
of
plans
like
the
climate
action
plan,
the
transportation
action
plan,
our
strategic,
racial
and
equity
action
plan.
O
The
other
sort
of
formal
way
that
committees
sometimes
provide
their
advice
and
counsel
to
the
mayor
and
city
council
is
through
sort
of
letters
of
support
or
or
comment.
So,
if
there's
a
particular
policy,
that's
being
considered
by
the
city
council
or
during
the
budget
process
for
the
mayor's
office.
If
this
committee
wants
to
provide
a
letter
with
comments,
suggestions,
that's
another
formal
way.
That's
that's!
Always
welcome
to
participate
and
then
sort
of
informally
is
my
presence,
as
well
as
in
the
future.
O
The
city
council's
presence
to
really
be
here
and
participate
and
hear
and
learn,
as
I
mentioned
before,
my
professional
expertise
is
in
a
different
area,
so
I
really
see
my
role
in
the
mayor's
office
on
this
committee
as
really
listening
and
taking
in
information
and
learning
as
much
as
I
can
so
that
as
we're,
you
know
making
decisions
around
the
budget
or
identifying
opportunities
or
gaps
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
that.
I
can
use
the
the
information
that's
talked
about
here
to
help
inform
some
of
those
conversations.
O
I
think
a
good
example
of
that
is.
You
know
we
worked
really
closely
with
tamara
and
team
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
around
additional
emergency
food
security
funding
through
the
cares
funding
that
we
received,
as
well
as
through
the
first
round
of
the
american
rescue
plan.
So
really
the
work
of
this
council
and
the
work
that
tamara
and
her
team
does
with
homegrown
were
able
to
to
help
us
identify
that
that
was
a
priority
issue
that
we
really
needed
to
spend.
O
Some
of
our
emergency
resources
on
the
other
thing
I'll
just
quickly
mention,
is
because
there's
lots
of
conversations
out
in
the
community
about
this
right
now
is
the
government
structure,
as
you
may
have
been
paying
attention
to
during
the
election.
One
of
the
charter
amendment
questions
that
passed
was
a
change
in
the
government
structure,
which
sort
of
reorganizes
some
of
the
different
sort
of
roles
and
responsibilities
and
authorities
between
the
mayor
and
the
council.
O
The
short
answer
is:
there's
still
a
lot
of
things
that
are
being
worked
out
about
what
does
that
really
mean
in
terms
of
the
implementation
phase,
but
I
think
the
easiest
way
to
think
about
it
is
that
the
mayor's
office
is
primarily
responsible
for
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
city,
and
so
the
supervising
the
departments
and
the
daily
work
that
departments
do
so
the
more
of
the
the
programming
and
the
day-to-day
work.
And
then
the
council
retains
sort
of
the
legislative
authority.
O
So
that's
the
policy
making
the
ordinances,
so
the
mayor's
office
and
city
council
coordinate
on
both
of
those
things,
but
that's
sort
of
the
distinction
that
that
made
that
change
before
it
was
a
lot
more
intertwined
and
now
that
that's
like
a
little
bit
more
of
a
distinct
sort
of
roles
and
responsibilities.
O
So
there
will
probably
be
some
upcoming
changes
in
terms
of
the
structure
within
our
city
as
we
refer
to
an
enterprise
and
if
any
of
those
are
of
interest
or
impacting
the
food
council
I'll
be
happy
to
share
as
those
changes
and
decisions
are
made.
Moving
forward,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
that's
sort
of
just
sort
of
big
picture.
How
does
the
food
council
fit
into
the
the
larger
context.
A
Well,
in
that.
B
A
C
Yes,
and
I
will
be
brief-
and
I
think
we'll
have
a
lot
more
time
at
our
our
next
meeting
for
some
of
this,
as
we
have
some
really
engaging
trivia,
that
will
follow
what
I
share
with
you,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
take
too
much
time
on
something
less
engaging
hold
on
one.
C
Second,
if
my
screen
will
cooperate,
it
seems
to
be
just
spinning,
which
is,
of
course,
what
would
happen
now
so
I'll
just
start
talking,
since
it
is
not
wanting
to
allow
me
to
use
my
powerpoint
so
homegrown
minneapolis
is
a
city
community
partnership
as
we've
discussed,
and
it's
an
initiative
that
includes
the
food
council,
but
a
number
of
other
projects
that
staff
work
on,
and
so
I
serve
as
a
homegrown
minneapolis
coordinator.
C
But
I'm
really
fortunate
to
have
here
other
team
members
who
are
also
really
expanding
our
capacity
and
enabling
us
to
do
so
much
more
and
that
was
tong
tau,
grace
root
and
abdi
khalik
sahal,
who
you
met,
grace
being
americorps
vista
with
us
for
nearly
the
past
year
and
just
really
grateful
to
have
that
group
working
with
us
to
support
the
food
council
with
tong.
C
I
will
just
say
kind
of
with
each
of
these
quick
bits
about
our
work
that
we
have
somebody
who's,
maybe
playing
a
bit
more
of
a
primary
role.
I
am
the
official
staff
of
the
food
council,
but
tong
is
helping
with
some
of
the
administrative
work
you've
seen
some
emails
from
tong
and
hattie,
and
so
we
have
a
number
of
people.
C
You'll
you'll,
hear
from
to
try
to
help
kind
of
make
sure
that
we've
got
all
our
eyes
dotted
and
t's
crossed
and
that's
very
important
for
us
as
a
transparent
and
accountable
city
to
make
sure
we
are
following
all
those
rules,
and
so
thank
you
for
your
participation
and
those
requirements
that
you've
had
so
far
and
to
come.
But
tong
has
been
very
helpful.
There
and
kind
of
grace
and
abi
kalika's
as
projects
kind
of
evolve
with
the
food
action
plan
and
the
food
council.
C
We've
got
the
garden
lease
program.
Some
folks
talked
about
urban
ag
the
garden
lease
program.
I
think
we'll
talk
a
bit
more
about
in
the
next
meeting.
Really
a
lot
of
food
council
action
and
policy.
C
Activism
has
enabled
that
program
to
be
leasing
over
60
city-owned
vacant
lots
to
community,
and
that
is
land
owned
by
the
public
works
and
the
housing
divisions
of
the
city
departments
of
the
city
in
a
way
that
is
a
kind
of
year-to-year
lease
for
community
and
market
gardens,
and
so
we
co-coordinate
that
with
cped,
and
I
should
also
mention
that
cped
has
a
staff
representative
to
the
food
council.
C
Who's
not
been
named
yet
for
this
term,
so
andrea
mentioned
city
council
rep,
who
will
be
named,
we
also
are
awaiting
our
cped
rep
suado
abdi
was
our
most
recent
cped
rep
and
so
we'll
be
at
a
full
strength
of
25,
including
kim
heavy,
our
sustainability
director
who
could
not
join
us
tonight.
C
Additionally,
we
do
a
lot
of
work
with
farmers
markets
and
so
really
great
to
be
having
some
of
those
managers
like
devon
here
since
the
beginning
of
my
time
with
the
food
council,
where
we
have
a
farmer's
market
to
minneapolis
collaborative
and
that
group
is
really
working
on
goals
and
jenny.
Of
course,
e
styles.
You
know,
I
think,
we've
really
I've
known
people
with
so
many
different
hats.
C
It's
really
fun
to
in
this
moment,
come
in
collaboration
in
new
ways,
and
so
farmers
markets
of
minneapolis
is
a
collaborative
effort
between
the
markets,
the
city
and
the
university
is
a
great
partner.
We've
got
the
food
security
work
which
has
been
mentioned.
C
I
got
to
know
sane
foundation
through
a
collaboration
over
at
powderhorn
park
and
then
corcoran
in
a
actual
food
distribution
that
we
for
a
brief
period
of
time
engaged
in
helping
to
implement
at
the
city,
and
that
was
a
real,
a
real
learning
experience
for
myself
about
the
hunger
relief
system
and
so
appreciate
all
of
the
effort
that
goes
into
to
helping
provide
emergency
food
relief
and
just
what
a
a
need
that
is,
a
real
real
kind
of
heart-wrenching
overwhelming
need
for
so
many
of
our
community
members.
C
Additionally,
we
have
communications
and
outreach
efforts.
I
want
you
all
to
be
aware
of
the
the
newsletter
that
goes
out
about
once
a
month.
The
e-newsletter
is
a
resource
for
you
all
to
share
information
and
for
the
community
to
get
that
information.
It
doesn't
require
you
to
be
a
food
council,
member
or
city
staff
to
include
information.
We
have
jobs,
grants
news,
city,
related,
local
food
system,
related
information,
of
course,
but
this
is
something
you
know:
kate's
mps
farm
to
school
coordinator
job
will
be
in
that
I
think
I'm
sending
tomorrow.
C
It
goes
to
about
5,
100
subscribers
and
so
think
of
this
as
a
way
that
is
a
vehicle
of
of
our
initiative
to
to
share
important
opportunities
with
the
community
and
for
this
group
to
also
engage
in
our
website
as
well.
So
love
to
have
you
all.
If
you
haven't
looked
at
the
minneapolism.gov
homegrown
we're
going
through
a
website
transition
and
we're
kind
of
in
the
in
limbo
part
with
homegrown.
C
So
what
you
see
now,
when
you
look
is
not
the
way
it
will
look
in
a
few
months
when
we've
gotten
to
migrate
with
the
rest
of
our
wonderful
city,
content
to
the
new
website
structure
and
look
more
pretty
and
more
white
space
again,
as
we
did
in
our
in
our
last
iteration.
So
that
is
like
the
newsletter
another
resource
to
the
initiative
to
share
with
the
community,
and
we
try
to
be
a
bit
of
a
one-stop
shop
to
the
degree
our
capacity
allows.
C
So
those
just
some
highlights
of
the
initiative
and
the
work
the
staff
is
doing
in
the
across
the
initiative
and
the
food
action
plan
is
really
it's:
staff
plus
food
council
and
community
and
university
partnership.
So
we'll
talk
a
lot
more
about
the
food
action
plan
at
the
next
meeting
and
really
go
in
depth.
We'll
have
hikaru
peterson
from
the
university
of
minnesota,
applied
econ
department.
C
Who's
also
been
a
partner
on
the
farmers
market
metrics
project,
but
is
also
a
partner
in
the
in
the
farmers
or
sorry
in
the
food
action
plan,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
say
too
much
more
on
that.
I
can
shift
quickly
to
the
important
election
that
we
will
be
having
next
month
and
leave
a
little
time
for
some
trivia,
which
I
think
will
need
to
also
carry
into
the
next
meeting.
And
so
one
really
important
thing
to
note.
As
kate
mentioned,
she
has
been
a
co-chair.
She
was
the
elected
co-chair.
C
Marcus
is
our
mayorally
appointed
two-year
term
co-chair,
who
will
co-lead
with
a
to
be
elected
co-chair?
C
Hopefully
at
our
next
meeting
we
would
have
somebody
who
between
now
and
then
will
throw
their
hat
in
the
ring
one
or
more
somebody's
to
be
considered
in
an
election
as
the
co-chair
with
marcus
of
this
group,
and
that
is
a
year-to-year
election.
So
marcus's
term
is
a
two-year
term
of
mayoral
appointment
and
the
election
happens
annually.
Not
just
though,
for
co-chair,
there
are
four
opportunities
in
front
of
you.
C
We
will
elect
three
executive
committee
members
who
will,
in
partnership
with
marcus
the
other
co-chair
and
myself
form
the
executive
committee,
and
that
group
does
agenda
setting
for
the
food
council
once
a
month
and-
and
you
know
over
the
years,
has
put
in
a
lot
of
time
and
I
see
devon's
face
devon-
has
served
as
co-chair
as
executive
committee
member.
I
think
you've
got
some
pretty
brilliant
members
here
who
could
share
what
that's
been
like,
and
just
it's
been
fun.
C
I
don't
know
if
I
heard
anybody
say
fun
yet
you
know
we
had
so
much
fun
together
and
we
would
eat
good
food,
and
I
heard
you
know,
comments
about
small
business
and
we
used
to
rotate,
which
will
if
we
can
ever
get
back
in
person
together
these
meetings
to
different
food
based
locations
and
taste
delicious
food
together,
you
know
breaking
the
bread
and
really
learning
together
in
really
amazing
community
spaces
and
as
a
small
group
of
executive
committee
and
as
a
large
group
of
food
council,
we're
here
to
do
those
those
things
that
have
the
the
results
as
mentioned.
C
But
I
think
that's
what's
brought.
People
like
those
who
are
continuing
back
is
just
that.
We
have
a
good
time
together
and
so
keep
that
in
mind.
This,
isn't
your
your
regular
type
of
a
committee
you
would
be
going
in,
for
this
is
something
very
special
and
different,
and
we
continue
to
to
make
it
to
the
degree
possible
in
this
environment.
So
I
will
send
out
an
email
following
this
meeting
with
that.
C
Materials
and
you'll
also
have
a
chance
to
verbalize
your
your
interest
as
well
at
that
meeting
before
the
election,
and
so
just
stay
tuned
for
that
email
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free
to
ask
those
members
who
are
returning
and
can
can
share
what
that
experience
might
be
like
any
questions
now,
before
I
hand
it
over
for
a
tiny
bit
of
trivia,
they
work
so
hard
on
this
and
they'll.
C
I
know
be
happy
to
come
back
next
month
and
and
give
you
the
rest
of
this
trivia
experience
and
we
do
need
to
save
just
at
least
a
couple
minutes
before
the
meeting
ends
for
the
vote
on
our
2022
calendar.
So
we
probably
have
time
for
about.
You
know
eight
minutes.
Seven,
seven
minutes
of
trivia.
AB
Five,
six,
don't
worry
so
I'll
do
is
I'll
talk
really
fast
and
we'll
see
how
much
we
can
get
through
me
and
audi
clique
worked
on
this
we're
going
to
do
a
little
poll
here
to
see
how
much
people
remember
and
also
no
worries,
if
not
just
give
you
a
hint
at.
AB
What's
in
all
those
materials
that
tamara
sent
out,
there
are
two
ways
you
can
access
the
poll
you
can
either
scan
the
qr
code,
that
is
on
your
screen
with
your
phone,
and
it
should
pop
up
a
little
link
that
you
can
click
on
or
you
can
type
in
the
link
which
is
e-t-s-c
dot,
c-h,
slash,
q,
j
capital,
h,
b
and
now
I'll
stay
out
here
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
as
well
and
I'll
give
people
just
a
few
seconds
to
hop
on
you
can
offer
on
computer,
or
we
can
just
you
know,
observe
the
answers,
if
that's
your
preferred
way,
but
I
will
get
that
start
since
I
can't
see
anyone
I'll
just
get
the
questions
started
and
we'll
see
how
many
votes
we
can
get
we're
the
first
one,
we'll
start
with
a
fun
one.
AB
AB
AB
AB
AF
AB
Good
job
we've
got
25
people
on
the
food
council,
15
community,
reps
and
10.
Otherwise.
AB
AB
Guppy
mart
all
right:
yes,
it
is
13,
so
that
is
our
magic
number
that
we
need
before
we
can
kick
off
any
meeting
business
so
based
off
of
that
what
can
happen
in
a
meeting
without
quorum.
B
AB
It's
going
to
be
nothing.
We
can't
do
anything
to
have
a
casual
chat,
but
no
discussion
of
anything
food
council
related
due
to
open
meeting
laws.
AB
AC
Yes,
hey
everyone.
Next
question
is
gonna,
be
how
are
the
co-chairs
decided.
AC
AB
AC
B
AB
C
M
AC
Absolutely
for
this
one,
it's
true
false
question,
working
groups
or
task
force
task
forces
can
be
formed
to
tackle
specific
areas
of
food
council
work.
True
or
false.
A
lot
of
people
are
coming
in
and,
as
we'll
see,
the
answer
will
be
true
on
this
one.
C
I
think,
due
to
our
time
constraints,
we
will
need
to
just
pause
there
and
unfortunately
hold
the
rest
of
the
questions
for
our
february
meeting.
So
in
the
meantime,
you
can
certainly
brush
up
on
your
your
knowledge
for
the
rest
of
those
questions,
but
we
do
need
to
yes.
Thank
you
so
much
grace
and
abdi
colleek
for
preparing
that.
Yes,
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
kim
heavy
did
join.
C
AF
Well,
thank
you
tamra
sorry.
I
was
a
little
late
here
getting
into
the
meeting.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all,
I'm
very
interested
in
supporting
the
food
action
plan.
As
you
know,
you
know,
carbon
emissions
and
transitioning
to
a
green,
clean
economy
has
a
huge
basis
in
our
food
production
and
the
way
we
get
our
food
and,
of
course,
in
the
health
of
our
community.
So
anyway,
I'm
really
excited
to
be
part
of
it.
I'm
a
big
foodie.
AF
I
just
came
back
from
a
vacation
where
basically,
I
cooked
for,
like
10
people
every
night
in
a
three-bedroom
condo,
and
it
was
great,
so
I
had
a
really
fun
time
going
to
food
markets
in
mexico
and
so
anyway,
feeling
well
rested
and
look
forward
to
a
good
2022.
So
thank
you,
everyone
and
congratulations
to
new
members.
It's
a
great
group
to
be
with
and
tamara
and
team
is
fantastic.
So
thank
you.
D
C
I
think
our
last
item
of
business
is
looking
at
the
proposed
2022
meeting
calendar
and
really
outside
of
today's
meeting.
It
follows
the
second
wednesday
of
the
month
rhythm,
so
you
would
anticipate
the
second
wednesday
evening
of
each
month
from
5
30
to
we
cannot
officially
say
that
the
meeting
ends
at
7
30.
That
is
what
we
aim
for,
but
according
to
the
city
rules
we
announce
a
start
time
and
then
we
as
a
group,
you
know
operationally
try
to
stick
to
the
end
by
7
30..
C
Sometimes
we
end
early
and
rarely
we
go
very
late,
but
it
is
a
5
30
proposed
second
wednesday
evening
of
the
month
with
that
calendar,
and
it
would
require
a
motion
and
a
second
and
a
vote
unless
there
is
any
proposed
amendments
to
any
of
the
dates.
C
All
right
one
moment
here,
sorry,
my
computer,
just
froze
oh,
I
should
add,
while
I
am
pulling
that
back
up,
that
we
did
get
an
update
that
the
online
meetings
will
not
have
a
specific
end
date
at
this
point.
So
the
the
meeting
location
is
online
until
until
the
city,
council
and
mayor
decide
to
end
the
public
health
emergency.
So
it
is
a
of
what
we'll
be
taking
on
these
dates
with
with
online
meetings
just
to
be
clear
until
we
are
able
to
go
back
to
hybrid
or
in
person.
C
Okay,
kevin
allendes,
yay,
jenny,
breen,

We
have
a
new
food
council,
2022
meeting
calendar,
which
I
will
send
out
to
you
all
and
you
will
receive
in
the
form
of
outlook
invitations
as
well
so
anticipate.
Unfortunately,
I
cannot
send
a
series.
I
need
to
send
a
a
separate
meeting,
invite
for
every
single
meeting,
so
you'll
get
11
different
individual
meetings
as
outlook
invitations
sent
to
you,
as
well
as
the
full
calendar
as
an
attachment
in
a
separate
email.
So
thank
you
all.

minutes
past
time,
but
still
