Well,
good
evening,
you
know
happy
wednesday,
thank
you
all
for
joining
tonight's
homegrown
minneapolis
food
council
meeting.
I
like
to
start
by
noting
that
the
meeting
includes
a
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
statute.
Section
13d
dot
zero,
two
one
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic,
our
next
part
of
this.
That
will
be
to
call
raw
see
if
we
have
quorum
here.
E
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
ask
that
grace
call
the
role
so
that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
quorum
council
members
when
grace
call
your
name,
please
say
present
I'll,
also
introduce
yourself
briefly.
E
If
you
like,
you
can
definitely
tell
us
what's
the
best
thing
you
had
for
any
meal
this
month,
I'll
appreciate
that
and
state
your
organization
and
affiliation
as
applicable
for
any
community
members
on
the
call
we'll
provide
opportunity
for
you
to
introduce
yourself
after
the
roll
call
is
complete.
A
G
Present,
my
name
is
kavelyn
and
I
work
for
the
dakota
county
public
health
department
in
health
promotion.
Also,
I'm
associate
faculty
at
the
johns
hopkins
center
for
american
indian
health
and
a
minneapolis
resident,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
best
meal
I've
had
this
month
is,
but
I
just
had
roasted
vegetables
and
jenny.
It
made
me
think
of
you,
because
I've
been
in
many
classes
where
you
taught
how
to
make
those.
Thank
you.
That's.
I
Hi
jenny,
green
present,
I'm
a
culinary
nutrition
educator
consultant.
I
teach
at
the
university
and
do
a
lot
of
collaborative
work
in
systems
and
health
and
wellness,
and
I
was
teaching
in
the
vocal
program
which
is
a
culinary
vocational
training
program
this
today
this
morning,
and
we
made
amazing
yummy
tacos
with
a
mushroom
and
nyxta
local
nyxta
handmade
tortillas,
which
are
amazing
if
you've
never
had
them.
So.
H
J
J
I
work
in
the
economic
development
side,
helping
small
businesses
make
their
dreams
come
true,
usually
on
a
good
day
some
days,
we
do
less
productive
things,
but
I
would
say:
five
rolls
everywhere
are
probably
cringing,
but
brussels
sprouts
seem
to
still
be
in
season
and
we
have
totally
blatantly
ripped
off
a
recipe
from
butcher's
tail,
which
involves
like
frank's,
red,
hot
sauce
and
a
couple
other
ingredients,
and
so
we've
been
munching
on
those
as
they're
on
their
way
out
of
season.
So
good
evening,
everybody
good
evening.

O
Hi
everyone,
andrew
andrea,
you
know
I'm
in
the
mayor's
office
and
the
best
meal
I
ate
this
month
was
really
simple:
chicken,
teriyaki
salad
with
greens,
and
really
juicy
red
peppers,
tomatoes
and
carrots
and
any
meal
that
I
don't
have
to
make
myself
is
my
favorite
meal.
P
Yes,
hi
everybody,
I'm
danielle
isaacson,
I'm
with
the
minnesota
department
of
agriculture
and
I'll
say
my
meal
was
just
last
night.
We
made
some
homemade
pad
thai.
That
was
just
it
was
so
good,
especially
because
we're
we're
kind
of
demoing
our
kitchen
starting
today.
So
it
was
like
our
last
meal
that
we
could
have
you
know
before
we
have
to
just
eat
microwave
food
for
a
few
weeks,
so
I
really
really
enjoyed
that
and
I'll
also
add
becca,
that
asap
moved
into
my
neighborhood
and
I
went
there
for
the
first
time.
P
E
Marcus

farm

minneapolis.
I'm

co-chair
of
the
food
council
yeah.
E
So
I
had
the
most
amazing
thing
last
night
and
that's
what
I
wanted
to
hear
everybody
I
you
know
I
had
a
recipe
sent
to
me
by
one
of
the
elders
for
borscht
made
from
scratch,
and
I
ended
up
exercising
that
and
having
it
with
some
pump
and
nickel
and
just
like
love
the
idea
of
soup
on
a
cold
day,
especially
cabbage
and
all
the
goodies
in
it.

to
do
a
lot
of
work
around
healthy
eating
and
food
access.
The
first
thing
that
came
to
my
mind,
was
not
healthy
or
a
meal.
It
was
a
milkshake
that
I
just
had
from
tipsy
steer
on
monday
night.
It
was
a
sweet
and
salty
milkshake
and
I

you
over
the
years,
so
this
I'll
I'll
be
quick
on
this
part,
but
basically
we're
a
local
food
equity
nonprofit.
We
have
three
main
areas
of
work.
We
work
in
hunger
relief.
We
also
work
in
affordable
grocery
with
fairfall
and
twin
cities
mobile
market,
and
then
we
have
big
river
farms.
Z
That's
a
farmer
training
program
land-based
for
immigrant
refugee
farmers,
so
some
core
values
that
really
underpin
our
work
on
nutrition,
local
food,
equity,
community
engagement
and
systems
change,
so
lots
of
values,
alignment
with
with
all
of
you,
fine
folks.
I
wanted
to
just
give
a
little
bit
of
a
context
on
hunger,
a
little
bit
more
broadly
so
again,
really
zooming
into
the
food
insecurity
part
of
our
work.
Z
For
for
this
conversation
with
you,
2021
marks
the
11th
consecutive
year
for
minnesota
kind
of
exceeding
the
3
million
visits
to
food
shelves
for
a
while
now
seniors
have
been
and
continue
to
be,
the
fastest
growing
group
of
food
shelf
users.
Z
The
pandemic
obviously
kind
of
changed
that
reality,
so
there
was,
there
was
significant
rates
of
food
insecurity,
but
today
we
have
one
in
nine
minnesotans
experiencing
hunger
compared
to
1
in
11
pre-pandemic
in
minneapolis
that
it
I
don't
have
any
beautiful
data
slides.
So
let
me
just
say
that
to
begin
with,
but
the
community
needs,
I
think,
are-
are
really
at
an
interesting
point
right
now,
where
and
I'd
love
to
to
leave
some
time
at
the
end,
to
have
more
of
a
dialogue
with
you
all
about
this.
Z
Z
I
I've
found
it
it's
really
case
by
case
specific,
but
I
think
certainly
what
we
do
know
is
that
there's
plenty
of
covert
relief
programs
at
the
federal
level
that
are
expiring
or
have
expired,
and
there's
this
reality
of
rising
inflation,
and
so
just
understanding
that
gas
is
going
up.
Food
is
going
up,
and
you
know,
as
as
all
of
us
know
right
when
those
basic
needs
costs
go
up.
That's
going
to
hit
families
and
households,
unlimited
budgets,
much
more
quickly
and
much
more
directly,
and
what
we
hear.
Z
What
we
see
at
the
at
the
food
group
is,
you
know,
food
costs
are
definitely
rising
across
the
board,
some
more
than
others.
You
can
see.
You
know,
like
vegetable
oil
at
the
wholesale
level,
for
us
has
increased
85
percent
in
cost,
so
just
figuring
out
how
we
can
provide
those
healthy,
culturally,
relevant
staples
in
a
cost-effective
way
at
a
at
an
organizational
level
is
a
challenge
again.
Z
Many
of
you
on
the
call
know
that
firsthand
at
different
organizations
you
work
with,
but
then
also
how
that
hits
at
the
household
level
is
pretty
dramatic
food
again.
This
is
kind
of
like
preaching
to
the
choir,
but
some
of
these
slides
are
are
more
revelatory
for
people
who
don't
think
about
it
as
much.
But
food
often
is
that
most
flexible
part
of
a
household
budget,
and
so
when
things
like
gas
or
other
costs
go
up,
it
tends
to
be
where
people
have
to
start
cutting
back
and
making
really
tough
decisions.
Z
So
that's
a
little
bit
of
painting
the
picture
in
a
pretty
brief
and
vague
way.
But
what
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
with
with
you
is
kind
of
the
community's
response,
especially
in
minneapolis.
Z
That's
been
happening
in
that
emergency
food
space
and
again
some
of
you
know
first-hand
doing
some
of
the
direct
service
work
in
community,
but
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
has
seen
more
innovation
and
how
free
food
is
distributed
than
I've
ever
seen
in
the
15
years
that
I've
gotten
to
do
this
work
and
minneapolis
really
has
been
an
epicenter
for
that.
Z
After
the
murder
of
george
floyd
and
the
unrest,
I
think
foon
was
a
really
powerful
way
that
community
came
together
to
care
for
one
another
and
show
up
for
each
other,
and
so
just
wanting
to
highlight
some
of
the
innovative
food
distribution
methods
that
that
came
about
during
that
time,
some
of
which
are
no
longer
around.
But
some
threads,
I
think,
are
still
continuing
and
it's
really
important
that
we
pay
attention
to
how
to
support
them.
Well,
so
we
called
them
our
emerging
partners.
Z
There
were
lots
of
groups
that
that
came
to
partner
with
the
food
group
that
again
were
doing
food
distribution,
maybe
for
the
first
time
in
the
summer
of
2020,
and
had
never
done
that
before
whether
it
was
neighborhood
groups
or
more
grassroots
associations
right
there
were
pop-up
distributions
the
definitions
of
those
change,
depending
on
who
you're
talking
to,
but
I
often
think
of
a
pop-up
more
as
maybe
it's
an
established
food,
non-profit
or
an
organization
that
does
food
work,
but
is
going
to
a
new
location
where
they
haven't
gone
before,
to
really
increase
access
and
go
where
people
are.
Z
There
were
a
lot
of
grassroots,
led
effort,
again:
neighborhood
associations,
more
loosely
affiliated
groups,
non
501c3s
right,
not
not
traditional
nonprofits,
doing
food
distribution,
and
I'm
sure
you
know
many
of
you
have
talked
about
this
too,
but
a
really
market
in
mutual
aid
and
a
really
different
concept
of
neighbors,
helping,
neighbors
and
and
trying
to
maybe
rethink
some
of
the
power
dynamics
that
have
often
been
inherent
in
how
food
is
distributed
before.
Z
So.
In
addition
to
the
the
wide
variety
of
models
that
that
we
have
seen
these
last
couple
years,
the
food
group
has
really
been
trying
to
pay
specific
attention
to
culturally
connected
foods
and
ensuring
that
the
foods
that
we're
distributing
are
foods
that
represent
the
cultures
and
the
culinary
traditions
of
folks
who
are
receiving
them.
Z
So
you
know
we,
we
got
this
quote
from
one
of
our
partners
and
I
think
it's
a
really
profound
way
to
just
think
about
it,
but
that
the
food
can
make
you
feel
like
you're
seen
and
you
belong,
and
so
how
can
we
make
sure
that
these
different
food
distribution
efforts
that
are
happening
in
minneapolis
have
foods
that
are
reflective
of
folks?
Z
At
the
food
group,
we
also
are
really
trying
to
emphasize
local
food,
so
when
we
can
purchase
locally
and
and
keep
that
that
money
flowing
to
again,
you
know,
as
so
many
of
you
are
building
that
local
food
system
that
we
all
want
to
see.
So
for
us,
it
was
really
trying
to
prioritize
purchasing
locally
and
then
even
more
specifically,
trying
to
prioritize
purchasing
locally
from
bypass
farmers
whenever
possible.
Z
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
share
with
the
group
just
to
do
a
little
a
little
more
context
setting
is
we
recently
partnered
with
a
consultant
to
kind
of
try
to
help
us
understand
this
again
changing
landscape
and
some
of
the
lessons
that
we
could
learn,
especially,
we
were
curious
to
kind
of
compare
some
of
these
emerging
partners
which
again
the
language
kind
of
sucks,
but
these
groups,
who
are
a
little
bit
newer
to
the
food
space
or
at
least
newer
to
working
with
the
food
group
compared
to
some
of
our
partners,
who've
been
around
a
long
time
and
I'll
just
share
briefly.
Z
A
few
of
those
themes
that
emerged.
So
one
thing
that
emerged
from
both
groups
right
is
that
food
is
a
way
to
build
community
right
so
that
even
more
than
just
getting
people
the
sustenance
they
need.
It
really
is
a
way
to
build
community.
So
we've
got
a
quote
here
from
from
one
of
our
agency
partners,
or
you
know,
a
more
established
nonprofit
that
you
know
at
our
free
farmers
market.
It
feels
so
homey
and
normal
set
up
outside
under
10
gives
families
and
volunteers
a
chance
to
talk
and
share
recipes.
Z
And
then
you
know
from
a
from
a
newer
partner
talking
about
serving
food
and
drinks
to
people
as
they
waited
in
line.
We
made
deep
connections
and
don't
see
ourselves
as
being
different
than
the
people
there.
We
get
to
know
people
talk
to
people,
be
careful
not
to
other
and
create
a
barrier
between
people
there,
and
I
think
it's
it's
an
interesting
thing
right,
there's
a
lot
of
commonality
in
the
thread,
but
then
there's
also
difference
of
right.
Z
You
have
this,
I
think,
in
in
in
food
distribution,
there
have
been
kind
of
the
volunteers
and
the
helpers
right
versus
the
recipients
of
food.
For
a
long
time-
and
so
one
thread
we've
seen
is
really
interesting
in
the
more
mutual
aid
approach-
is
that
there
really
is
less
of
that
dynamic
and
that
dichotomy.
Z
Another
theme
that
really
emerged
from
from
chatting
with
our
partners
is
this
idea
of
solidarity
and
trust,
and
so
trust
and
relationships
are
important
right
again,
both
for
emerging
partners
and
more
traditional
partners,
but
it's
framed
a
little
bit
differently
so
again
in
that
mutual
aid
mentality.
This
idea
that
we're
we're
not
different
right,
we're
standing
in
solidarity.
Z
I
may
need
food
and
giving
food
at
the
same
time
right
where
we're
historically
for
for
more
of
our
long-standing
partners,
it's
building
trust
and
relationships
by
volunteers
who
can
kind
of
reach
across
and
connect
with
participants.
Z
I
think
for
good
and
ill,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
food
distribution
thing,
but
one
thing
that
we
did
notice
is
there
had
been
a
such
a
move
in
in
kind
of
the
hunger
relief
community
to
make
it
feel
as
much
like
a
grocery
shopping
experience
as
you
could,
and
what
came
out
of
covet,
I
think,
is
that
sometimes
that
is
absolutely
a
great
model
and
for
other
times
that
other
people's
lives
there's
something
really
nice
about
a
drive
up
model
or
a
pop-up
outside
or
a
little
bit
quicker,
more
anonymous
model,
and
so
this
this
sense
that
I
think
we
need
a
real
variety
of
options
to
meet
a
variety
of
needs.
Z
The
other
thing
that
that
came
up
as
we
were
talking
with
partners
and
and
just
kind
of
thinking
about
the
last
couple
years
and
what's
happened
in
in
food
distribution,
is,
is
this
concept
of
white
privilege
and
racism,
and
just
how
race
plays
out
in
in
this
in
this
work
right,
and
so
the
idea
of
disparities
and
power
differentials
of
staff,
volunteers
and
participants,
especially
when
the
the
kind
of
ethnic
makeup
of
volunteers
and
staff
might
be
different
than
participants
and
and
what
that
looks
like,
or
the
dynamics
of
that.
Z
We
also
in
our
in
our
kind
of
landscape,
scan
that
we
conducted.
We
could
definitely
draw
some
lines
to
funding
disparities
right
that
are
again
kind
of
perpetuating
that
same
underinvestment
in
communities
of
color
that
has
has
underpinned.
You
know
our
food
system
for
since
its
founding
and
then
the
other
thing
that
we're
really
thinking
about
a
lot
is
this
tension
of
how
to
make
these
efforts
sustainable.
So
again,
many
of
the
pop-ups
that
emerge
in
the
summer
of
2020
do
not
exist
anymore
right.
Z
Some
of
them
do
and
are
really
trying
to
explore
what
this
mutual
aid
approach
to
food
distribution
might
look
like
long
term,
but
there's
a
tension
because
how
to
make
something
sustainable
often
means
that
you're
gonna
force
it
to
conform
to
some
of
the
traditional
structures
that
have
long
existed
in
the
hunger
relief
community,
because
that's
how
you
get
the
commodity
food
or
some
of
those
different
grant
opportunities.
So
just
thinking
about
how
we
can
really
build
on
some
of
the
amazing
innovation
that
happened,
and
that
was
really
community-led.
Z
While
finding
funding
to
support
the
good
work,
that's
happening
so
looking
ahead,
you
know
the
food
group
is
continuing
to
partner
with
different
with
a
wider
variety
of
food
distributors
than
we
have
in
the
past
and
really
trying
to
adapt
how
we
partner,
based
on
how
people
are
looking
for
us
to
show
up,
but
I'm
excited
to
just
kind
of
open
it
up
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
with
all
of
you,
too.
Of
of
what
we
see
looking
ahead
and
how
we
can
invest.
Z
Because,
again,
I
think
some
of
the
traditional
funding
mechanisms
or
traditional
partnerships
that
have
underpinned
the
free
food
distribution
system
are
not
in
perfect
alignment
with
some
of
the
values
and
innovations
that
we've
seen
come
out,
especially
in
some
of
the
work
that's
happening
in
minneapolis.
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
share
with
all
of
you.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
listening.
E
That
is
amazing,
good
job.
What
you
guys
are
doing.
It
is
like
a
picture
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
here
on
the
food
council,
and
I
really
applaud
you
for
this
presentation.
Are
there
any
questions
or.
R
Oh
yes,
thank
you
so
sophia.
I
actually
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
observations
from
the
presentation
because
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
mutual
aid
spaces,
both
in
housing
and
in
food
security.
R
Z
Oh
you're
gonna
take
me
deeper
will
than
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
go,
but
it's
a
great
question.
I
think
that
that
is
a
a
dhs
number.
I
want
to
say
so
I
I
do
not
know.
I
would
assume
that
it
is
an
undercounting
situation
for
unhoused
populations,
as
I
would
assume.
Most
of
those
statistics
are,
but
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
To
be
honest,.
R
Okay
and
yeah,
that's
kind
of
what
I
figured
I
just
I
was
wondering,
and
then
I
you
were
talking
a
lot
about
mutual
aid
groups
and
barriers
to
entry
for
them,
and
it's
funny
that
you
mentioned
that,
because
this
has
literally
been
the
subject
of
most
of
my
conversations
for
outreach
in
the
last
few
months.
R
So
I
guess
the
main
questions
that
I
have
is
like.
What
power
does
this
group
that
we
have
or
this
organization
have
to
actually
address
a
lot
of
these
barriers,
like
the
main
one?
I
have
is
a
lot
of
community
gardens
groups
that
focus
on
feeding
unhoused
communities
like
they
don't
have
the
millions
of
dollars
that
are
required
for
the
upfront
cost
of
like
leasing
land
from
the
city.
R
So
unless
people
have
corporate
and
or
non-profit
sponsorships,
which
even
nonprofits
don't
always
have
the
funding
for
like
they
aren't
able
to
be
established-
and
I
guess
the
the
reason
I
bring
that
up-
is
you
also
mentioned
about
like
a
trust
and
a
tension
between
like
mutual
aid
groups
and
organ
and
traditional
orgs
on
the
ground?
Z
Yeah
and
I
don't
think
I'll
be
answering
but
I'll
be
responding.
So
that's
a
start
but
happy
to
to
talk
more,
I
mean
I
think
right.
So
there's
so
much
that
it
brings
up
right,
there's
so
much
in
the
sort
of
like
non-profit
industrial
complex
and
in
the
hunger
relief
system,
and
it's
ties
to
right,
big
ag
and
corporate
interests
and
and
racism.
P
Z
It's
not
what
our
community
is
asking
us
to
do
so
then
it's
our
job
as
the
food
group
to
adapt
right
and
and
partner
differently,
but
it
does
take
trust
and
it
takes
first
of
all
trust
that
organizations
on
the
ground
know
what's
best
right
and
it
takes
time
for
organizations
to
begin
to
trust
that
we
will
show
up
right
and
that
we
can
provide
food
in
a
way
that
is
timely
and
and
isn't
going
to
create
stress.
Z
So
I
think
it's
it's
very
complicated
and
it's
a
resource-sharing
question
and
to
me
I
think
it
is
really
important
that
we
establish
and
think
creatively
about
partnerships.
Z
R
I
hear
that
and
I
guess
the
reason
I
asked
these
two
questions
specifically,
is
because
housing
side
in
case
anyone
didn't
know,
rent
help
men
is
has
been
defunct
essentially
since
january,
but
as
of
just
this
past
week,
mhfa
the
sort
of
state
housing
organization
that
was
managing
those
funds
has
basically
told
us
to
ramp
down
our
efforts
of
helping
people
process
old
applications
that
had
made
it
before
that
cut
off.
So
so
yeah.
R
Everyone
thought
that
the
eviction
crisis
was
going
to
be
coming
in
july
and
instead
it's
now
coming
in
april.
Slash
may,
and
so
I
guess
I
wanted
to
draw
attention
to
the
under
underrepresentation
of
unhoused
folks
and
the
fact
that
there
aren't
a
lot
of
good
pipelines
that
a
lot
of
us
in
nonprofit
spaces
can't
be
included,
seem
to
really
have
in
pouring
money
into
those
communities.
R
E
I
think
we
got
someone
with
their
hands
raised
right
now.
Let
me
see
here.
Y
Yeah
yeah
I'll
jump
in
hi
sophia.
Thanks
for
the
presentation,
it
was
really
great,
having
been
in
some
early
early
conversations
about
food
security,
response
to
see
kind
of
the
evaluation
you've
done,
and
I'm
just
curious
how
the
presentation
you
gave
us
kind
of
is
factoring
into.
Is
this
a
dog
and
pony
show
kind
of
that
you're
taking
on
the
road?
Who
else
might
you
give
it
to
or
can
we
help
help
you.
Y
I
made
it
just
for
you
because
I
I
definitely
know
some
people
at
this
state
that
I
would
love
to
hear
what
you're
hearing
and
seeing,
especially
because
you
receive
state
dollars
to
try
to
do
some
of
this
great
response
work.
So
that's
so
interesting,
that's
not,
but
I
I
I
would
love
for
more
people
to
hear
what
you
shared
with
us
today.
It
was
beautiful.
Z
Oh,
thank
you
well
again,
you're
all
involved
in
the
work
I
mean.
Many
of
you
are
involved
deeply
in
all
of
this
work
in
a
variety
of
ways.
The
thing
that's
interesting
and
why
again
I
wanted
to
share
some
of
the
landscape
scan
results
with
you
all
just
because
I
know
this
group
is,
you
know,
you're
wonderfully
data
driven
in
a
really
good
way.
I
haven't
shared
them
widely,
yet
and
part
of
it
is
and
again
I'm
I'm
open
to
ideas
and
anyone
who
wants
to
connect
online.
Z
But
what
came
out
in
the
survey
is
that
there
is
plenty
of
tension
right
which
is
not
new
news
and
that
there
sometimes
can
feel
like
there's,
duplication
or
or
right
or
like
the
scarcity
mentality,
right
that
that
can
happen,
and
so
I
think
I'm
just
also
trying
to
be
quite
aware
of
that
dynamic.
C
Z
E
That's
beautiful.
We
also
have
a
request
from
will.
If
you
can
share
your
contacts
in
our
chat,
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
people
like
to
you
know
connect
with
you
at
some
point
here.
I
really
appreciate
this
by
the
way,
I
think
we
need
to
like
work
hard
at
creating
safe
spaces
for
us
to
ask
these
hard
questions.
I
don't
think
we
have
enough
time
at
the
full
council.
I
just
want
to
be
respectful
of
the
time,
but
I
am
like
super
awake
awakened
by
your
presentation,
jenny.
I
I
Was
an
accident,
but
I
will,
since,
since
you
called
on
me
again
also
thanks
sophia,
it's
been
really
a
treat
for
me
to
watch.
You
do
amazing
work
for
so
many
years.
I
really
appreciate
your
acknowledgement
of
the
work,
the
internal
work
that
needs
to
happen
in
organizations
for
values,
alignment,
and
I
would
I
think,
even
beyond
doing
this
presentation,
I
think
it
would
be
really
compelling
for
us
to
think
about
how
to-
and
I
know
we've
we've
done.
I
So-
and
I
feel
like
you
are
somebody
who's
been
really
leading
in
that
area,
so
that
would
be
if
I
were
going
to
seek
you
out.
That
would
be
what
I
would
be
asking
of.
You
is
your
guidance
there
yeah.
AD
Z
Collaboration
like
the
only
way
any
of
this
happens
right
is
in
deep
collaboration
and
in
collaboration
in
groups
like
this,
but
then
also
in
in
collaboration
with
community.
That's
doing
direct
work
right
on
the
ground,
and-
and
I
know
some
of
you
represent
that
too,
but
at
the
food
group
at
least
we
know
like
we
have
to
be
responsive.
E
E
How
can
urban
ag
on
the
ground
and
these
community
spaces
growing
food
and
community
be
a
part
of
that
adding
to
what
you're
distributing
through
your
work,
but
also
helping
us
reduce
waste
in
green
spaces,
because
we're
growing
a
lot
of
healthy
foods
and
we're?
You
know
trying
to
engage
people
around
that,
but
at
the
end
of
the
season
I
usually
look
around
and
I
wonder
man.
E
Z
I
think
there's
good
linkages
there.
I
think
both
on
like
how
we
can
better
link
like
emerging
farmer,
training
with
urban
egg
education,
but
then
also,
how
do
we
make
sure
that
the
food
has
a
nice
closed
loop,
especially
when
it's
culturally
specific?
How
can
we
keep
it
in
in
community
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
potential
there.
It's
beautiful.
E
Yay,
that's
why
yeah
that's
why
we
need
your
guidance
a
little
bit,
I'm
looking
forward
to
that.
Actually
any
other
questions.
E
Okay,
well,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
sophia.
This
has
been,
you
know,
opened
my
books
opened
my
mind
and
I'm
I'm
I'm
excited
about
this
summer.
All
the
good
foods
new
people
and
just
engaging
people
around
being
outside
and
in
the
sun,
and
you
know
serving
each
other.
Our
next
treat
for
tonight
would
be
the
city
of
minneapolis
food,
minneapolis,
food
and
security
funding.
That's
been
led
by
patty
bowler
in
the
abdica
league,
I'll
pass
it
on
to
you
guys.
If
there's
no
objection.
C
Sounds
good,
thank
you,
marcus
and
thank
you
sophia.
I
wish
we
had
like
real
treats
to
share
with
you,
but
maybe
when
we're
back
in
may
we'll
have
some
real
tourists.
You
know
food
treats.
So
this
is
thank
you
sophia,
and
we
just
wanted
to
tag
on
to
this
presentation
and
talk
just
a
tiny
bit
about
what
the
homegrown
minneapolis
initiative
has
done
in
the
area
of
food
and
security,
and
so
with
me
today
is
abdi
khalik
sahal,
who
introduced
himself
earlier.
C
He
has
been
hired
through
some
grant
dollars
that
the
city
was
received
to
really
oversee
some
of
the
food
security
work
that
we're
doing,
and
so
we've
got
a
short
power
point
to
provide
and
so
object.
If
you
want
to
put
that
up,
that'd
be
great,
thank
you
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,.
C
Okay,
so,
first
of
all
we're
our.
I
represent
a
public
health
department,
and
this
is
a
you
know.
I
don't
even
have
to
say
this,
but
I'm
going
to
because
it's
so
evident
that
food
security,
it's
a
social
condition
of
health,
and
we
really
need
nutritious
food
to
be
healthy
and
food
insecurity
worsens
health
disparities,
and
so
that's
why
I
think
we
jumped
in
with
both
feet,
to
work
on
food
security
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
and
also
the
2020
civil
unrest.
C
So
tamara,
who
is
no
longer
with
us
as
a
city
employee,
was
just
very
instrumental
in
helping
the
city
respond
to
food
insecurity
and
again
we
worked
very
collaboratively
with
sophia's
organization.
C
The
second
harvest,
also
with
the
mayor's
office,
with
the
park
board,
with
our
neighborhood
and
community
relations
group,
to
to
kind
of
put
together
our
own
food
and
security
response
first
at
cork,
grin
park,
and
then,
secondly,
it
moved
to
powderhorn
park,
and
so
we
were
able
to
provide
food
for
at
least
the
the
city
effort
from
june
of
2020
or
maybe
was
july
of
2020
to
probably
january
of
2021,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
latinx
families.
C
That
came
through
our
particular
operation-
and
I
mentioned
this
because
it's
a
little
unusual
for
city,
the
city
to
provide
this
level
of
direct
service.
But
we
saw
it
was
a
key
need
for
the
community
and
eventually
this
whole
operation
was
taken
over
by
the
sane
foundation
that
brandon
represents.
C
In
addition,
we
started
to
convene
food
insecurity
partners
like
a
number
of
the
pop-ups
that
sophia
mentioned
on
a
regular
basis,
and
we
continued
doing
that
into
2021,
while
also
connecting
with
some
of
our
state
level
partners
who
really
wanted
to
know
what
was
happening
on
the
ground.
C
We
were
able
to
access.
Some
of
the
city's
cares
funding,
and
so
we
allocated
953
000
to
39
organizations
in
late
2020
and
most
of
those
expenses
were
used
for
infrastructure
improvements
and
food.
Unfortunately,
we
couldn't
use
it
for
staffing,
and
we
put
this
out
in,
I
think
october
of
2020.
C
We
had
to
have
responses
back
and
invoices
paid
by
sometime
in
november
of
2020,
and
we
again
I
continue
to
apologize
to
our
partners
for
this
really
quick
turnaround,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
trying
to
maximize
this
investment,
and
it
was
a
quick
turnaround,
because
if
we
didn't
use
this
money,
the
city
would
lose
the
money
and
then
kind
of
an
innovation
that
happened.
Just
in
city
hall
was
developing
a
food
shelf
permit
for
our
pop-ups.
C
So
we
worked
with
cped
community
planning
and
economic
development
to
create
a
community
distribution
permit
for
the
pop-up
operations
happening
within
minneapolis,
so
normally
a
conventional
food
shelf
license.
It
takes
a
lot
of
capacity
to
apply
for
and
maintain,
and
many
of
the
pop-ups
didn't
have
this
kind
of
capacity.
So
this
is
why
it
was
created.
So
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
food
safety
rules
and
regulations
were
being
thought
about.
C
As
these
pop-ups
and
mutual
aid
organizations
did
their
work,
work
and
the
food
shelf
permit
for
pop-ups
cost
a
dollar
and
then
lastly,
just
this
last,
I
guess
it
would
have
been
fall
or
I
guess
it
was
august.
Time
flies
when
you're
having
fun.
We
were
able
to
get
some
more
funding
from
our
city
government
and
we
allocated
a
second
round
of
funding
about
over
a
million
dollars
to
13
organizations,
and
abdikalik
is
really
going
to
talk
about
what
this
funding
accomplished.
C
B
Yes,
thank
you
patty.
Thank
you
patty,
so
more
about
our
contracted
partners.
So,
right
now
we
are
working
with
13
different
community
organizations
to
use
those
funds
we
received
from
the
cdc
cdbg
and
arpa.
These
13
13
partners
were
basically
selected
from
an
rfp
we
put
out
last
year
and
now
basically,
I
want
to
show
kind
of
since
we
have
time
just
who
they
are
and
who
they're
serving.
B
So
we
have
asian
media
access
serving
the
north
minneapolis
to
asian
american
and
somali
american
immigrants.
We
have
issaroon
serving
in
cedar,
riverside
phillips,
south
minneapolis
neighborhood
serving
somali
and
bipark
communities.
We
have
the
little
earth
a
residence
association,
surgeon,
little
earth,
housing,
residence,
north
point,
health
and
wellness
center
in
north
minneapolis,
serving
it's
basically
serving
people
within
the
federally
designated
promised
zone
and
underserved
communities
in
north
minneapolis.
B
We
have
the
pillsbury
united
communities
in
the
phillips,
neighborhood
and
city
riverside
operating
out
of
brian
coyle
and
white
house.
Among
other
places,
the
satsang
family
nurturing
center
in
south
minneapolis
midtown
and
little
earth.
B
That's
where
they're
serving
cannon
piranhas
north
minneapolis,
clues
latino
communities
in
minneapolis
lake
street,
phillips,
neighborhood,
eastside
neighborhood
services,
which
is
a
city-wide
operation,
serving
all
the
different
neighborhoods
in
minneapolis
last
season
center,
which
mostly
north
minneapolis
and
then
food
distributions
will
be
kind
of
outside
of
minneapolis
minneapolis
and
american
indian
center
neighborhood
surrounding
the
the
facility
and
it's
the
bethany
community
center
within
in
south
minneapolis
and
shiloh
cares
north
minneapolis,
so
the
aqua
funds
we
had
contracted
to
each
of
these
individuals
we're
our
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
for
the
rp
users,
355
000
for
the
cdbg
users
and
350
000,
with
cdc
just
a
little
over
a
million
dollars.
B
We
use
for
this
rfp
to
contact
these
partners,
basically
providing
food
security,
resources
and
food
shelter
of
having
like
food
shelves
all
around
the
city,
which
is
our
plan
to
try
to
make
it
sustainable
and
make
it
something
that
people
are
going
to
be
able
to
come
to
on
a
regular
basis.
We
have
applied
for
additional
funding
through
arpa
once
this
funding
ends
and
that's
something
we're
looking
forward
to
in
the
future,
but
on
the
horizon.
Here
I
can
click
to
the
right.
B
Yes,
on
the
horizon,
our
goals
are
to
now
better
unders
have
a
better
understanding
of
minneapolis
specific
food
insecurity
needs
leverage,
additional
funding
and
also
use
the
minneapolis
food
action
plan
to
kind
of
understand
more
about.
What's
going
on
in
minneapolis
and
with
I
can
go
back,
I
could
start
from
the
front.
B
So,
oh
sorry,
so
yeah
continuing
to
survey
the
community
and
for
local
food
shelves
what
they
need,
trying
to
get
a
clearer
picture,
food
security
needs
and
transfer
minneapolis
and
then
looking
for
additional
funding,
such
as
through
the
american
recovery
act,
funding
or
through
other
federal
state
resources,
and
now
most
of
us
know
about
the
minneapolis
food
action
plan.
B
But
for
those
community
members
who
don't
know
the
city
of
minneapolis
have
been
developing
a
2030
road
map
toward
a
more
equitable
climate
resistant
resilient,
just
and
sustainable
local
food
system
and
local
food
economy.
There
are
six
pathways
that
act
as
categories
to
organize
the
many
strategies
proposed
to
help
the
city
navigate
and
prioritize
its
goals.
B
Through
this
survey,
we
are
seeking
feedback
on
these
pathways
and
strategies
for
the
city
to
improve
local
food
systems,
so
basically,
within
the
opposite
reaction
plans,
there's
like
a
pathway
addressing
local
food
supply,
that's
really
important
and
there's
a
really
important
food
justice
principle,
addressing
food
accessibility
and
allowing
people
to
grow
their
own
food
in
many
different
pathways
and
many
different
opportunities
to
do
that.
So
that's
basically
what
we
have
going
on
at
the
city
regarding
food
insecurity.
B
E
That
was
that
was
amazing,
though
man,
like
it's
good
I'll,
say
what
what
action's
been
taken
at
least
helps
some
of
the
things
that
are
moving
us
along
here.
I'm
trying
to
prevent
this.
These
two
presentations
are
just
like
mind-blowing
to
me.
One
question
I
have:
is
there
anywhere?
Is
there
a
place?
We
can
find
any
other
the
presentations
themselves
or
any
other
data-
that's
been
thrown
at
us
right
now
from
sophia,
and
you
guys
pat
patty,.
B
Yeah
the
presentation,
I
think
both
sophia
presentation
in
our
presentation
is
in
limbs
in
the
agenda
in
the
link.
It
should
lead
you
to
a
pdf
of
both
of
our
presentations.
I
can
put
that.
E
Is
anyone
manning
the
chat
right?
I'm
sorry,
I
was
so
caught
up
in
the
numbers.
It's
so
great.
I
seen
some
other
hands
andrea.
Had
her
hands
raised.
O
Hi,
thank
you.
Thanks
for
the
presentation,
patty
and
empty
clique,
I
just
wanted
to
jump
in
and
say
thank
you
to
the
health
department
team
who
really
took
on
this
emergency
food
security
work
in
a
way
that
the
city
of
minneapolis,
you
know
hadn't,
been
previously
set
up
to
take
on
and
really
jumped
in
in
this
emergency
time
and
in
the
mayor's
office.
O
We
were
also
seeing
that
this
was
some
a
place
that
we
needed
to
be
involved
more
directly
in
this
emergency
period
of
time
and
both,
I
think,
patty
undersold
it
a
little
bit
that
the
cares
funds
and
the
arpa
funds
you
know,
can
be
used
for
a
wide
range
of
recovery
efforts
and
they
and
that
making
these
food
security
funds
a
priority
was,
and
thanks
to
the
advocacy
in
part
from
the
food
council
and
from
the
health
department
folks,
and
we
were
happy
to
to
be
able
to
have
a
way
to
address
that
need
in
the
short
term
in
the
mayor's
office
and
curious
ones.
O
In
particular,
we
were
pretty
involved
in
directly
and,
as
patty
mentioned,
that
that
those
funding
we
had
a
strict
deadline
on
that
funding-
and
one
thing
I
just
wanted
to
mention-
was
that
while
it
would
have
gone
away,
if
we
hadn't
spent
it,
we
could
have
spent
it
on
something
else,
and
it
was
really
important
to
us
in
the
mayor's
office
and
to
the
health
department
that,
like
we
need
to
get
this
money
on
the
ground,
for
this
particular
use
during
this
period
of
time
to
support
the
work
that's
happening
in
the
community.
O
So
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
a
little
bit
and
say
I
was
grateful
to
be
part
of
that
collaborative
process
to
to
bring
those
funds
to
bear
in
important
community
work.
E
It's
beautiful
are
there
any
other
questions.
V
Yeah
you
know
it.
It
strikes
me
that
you
know
a
lot
of
the
food
insecurity
that
people
are
facing.
Is
you
know
the
direct
result
of
rising
housing
costs
and
one
of
the
things
that
harrison
neighborhood
association
has
really
been
working
on?
Is
rent
control,
and
so
I'm
wondering
like
from
this
group
like
what
the
intersection
is
potentially
around.
You
know
housing
policy
and
moving
strong
renter
protections
and
dealing
with
that
issue,
as
it
relates
to
food
insecurity.
C
That's
a
big
question
and
I'm
gonna
just
well
andrea,
sorry
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
andrea
also
works
a
lot
on
housing.
So
I
don't
know
if
you've
got
a
response
or
maybe
not.
O
In
this
city,
we're
working
on
a
lot
of
different
aspects
of
addressing
the
affordable
housing
crisis
across
the
affordability
spectrum.
You
know
addressing
the
needs
of
our
of
our
unsheltered
residents
and
working
on
permanent
supportive
housing,
investing
a
record
amount
of
dollars
in
that
work
over
the
last
four
or
five
years
to
try
to
get
more
deeply
affordable
units
in
the
mix,
because
that's
the
the
highest
need
and
and
where
we
see
the
biggest
gap
in
between
what
exists.
O
Currently
and
what's
there
in
terms
of
housing
policy,
we've
done
a
wide
suite
of
rental
renter
protection
over
the
last
few
years,
including
most
recently
the
right
to
council,
which
we
also
have
put
some
arp
funding
towards.
So
it's
an
example
of
really
important
competing
interests
for
different
priorities
that
are
all
very
important
to
make
sure
that
folks
have
access
to
legal
representation
in
terms
of
rent
stabilization.
O
There
is
a
proposal
on
the
table
for
this
weekend
council
to
move
forward
with
a
working
group
that
will
do
the
policy
evaluation
and
the
stakeholder
engagement
to
look
at
what
a
rent
stabilization
policy
could
look
like
here
in
minneapolis.
After
the
charter
vote
on
on
that
in
november,
and
so
we're
working
on
a
wide
range
of
things,
the
housing
advisory
committee
does
a
lot
of
work
similar
to
this
food
council.
In
terms
of
advising
the.
T
O
I
was
just
mentioning
that
the
housing
advisory
committee
does
a
sort
of
similar
kind
of
work
that
the
food
council
does,
but
on
particularly
around
engaging
with
the
mayor
and
the
council,
members
on
housing
policy
and
housing,
investments
that
the
city
does
as
well
so
similar
kind
of
form
as
this,
but
specifically
focused
on
housing.
E
I
hope
that
does
it
answer
your
question,
nicole,.
V
Yes,
and
no,
I
guess
I
was
kind
of
more,
maybe
interested
in
you
know,
potentially
exploring
what
collaboration
would
look
like
in
terms
of
you
know.
It
just
feels
like
a
lot
of
times
we're
operating
in
silos
and
not
necessarily
getting
at
like
the
root
cause
of
some
of
these
issues,
but
just
recognizing
that
there
seems
to
be
a
clear
intersection
between
you
know.
The
people
don't
have
enough
money
at
the
end
of
the
day
after
paying
their
rent
to
afford
food
right.
V
It's
beautiful
and
so
I'd
also
invite
folks
like
if
you're
interested
you
know,
even
if
your
organization
isn't
traditionally
a
housing
organization,
if
you're
interested
in
you
know
joining
the
minneapolis
united
for
rent
control
coalition
or
other
housing
advocacy
spaces,
I
think
it
it
makes
sense
to
to
partner.
In
that
way,.
E
That's
amazing,
yeah,
you
know.
One
thing
I
have
to
say
to
us
that
nicole
is
like
food
is
the
only
thing
that
connects
us
all
this
council
is
is
really
being
challenging
like
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
use
that
tool.
E
You
know
to
you
know,
answer
these
questions
and
I'm
you
know
we
got
two
years
here
and
we're
just
starting
this
year
and
I'm
hoping
by
the
end
of
our
tenure
here
we
can
see
this
being
implemented
on
the
ground.
I
know
there's
urgency,
though,
especially
in
places
like
harrison
neighborhood
with
the
encampment
and
things
of
that
going
on.
It's
really
important
that
we
create
spaces
to
have
this
conversation.
E
Hopefully,
in
the
next
couple
of
months
we
can
decide,
we
can
figure
out
what
that
looks
like
here.
I
just
got
like
a
message
from
someone
see.
E
A
E
Gotcha
yeah,
we'll
return
back
to
that
conversation
and
I'll,
see
you
after
this
meeting
nicole
next
on.
Our
agenda
is
just
a
discussion
of
the
homegirl
minneapolis
food
council
timeline
presentation
here.
This
is
something
is
being
presented
by
kristin
devon,
nolan,
jenny,
brain
and
patty
bowler
and
I'll
pass
it
on
to
you
guys
to
go
ahead.
Q
Thanks
marcus
and
thank
you
grace
for
pulling
up
the
slides,
so
hi
everyone
again,
I'm
kristen
klingler
with
the
minneapolis
health
department.
I'm
going
to
kick
things
off
today
with
our
short
presentation.
Q
So
we
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
new
members
of
the
food
council
and
guests
that
come
to
these
meetings
and
we
recognize
that
you
may
have
some
questions
about
the
food
council's
history
and
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today
and
the
role
of
the
food
council
in
minneapolis's
local
food
system.
So
tonight
the
executive
committee
wanted
to
devote
some
time
to
giving
a
short
historical
overview
of
homegrown
minneapolis
and
describe
the
evolution
over
the
years.
Q
So
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
to
go
into
detail
about
the
entire
history
of
homegrown
minneapolis.
But
we
hope
this
presentation
provides
some
important
background
information
for
you
and
also
sparks
your
curiosity
and
maybe
raises
some
additional
questions
that
we
can
then
cover
in
future
meetings.
Q
So
grace
and
patty-
and
I
have
prepared
a
couple
of
slides
that
highlight
the
key
activities
and
milestones
from
the
different
phases
of
homegrown
minneapolis,
and
then
we've
invited
jenny,
breen
and
devon
nolan
to
add
their
thoughts
throughout
the
presentation,
since
they've
both
been
deeply
involved
in
this
work
for
many
many
years.
So
with
that
we're
going
to
dive
in
so
on
the
slide
that
you
see
here.
This
is
just
a
basic
timeline
of
the
three
main
phases
of
homegrown
minneapolis.
Q
So
it's
broken
up
into
three
phases:
phase
one
was
december
2008
to
june
2009,
and
that
was
really
focused
on
launching
the
homegrown
initiative,
which
jenny
and
I
are
going
to
talk
about
in
just
a
minute
phase.
Q
Two
was
from
july
2009
to
september
2011,
and
that
was
focused
on
implementing
some
key
recommendations
that
came
out
of
phase
one
and
patty's
gonna
talk
more
about
that
phase
a
little
later
on
and
then
phase
three
was
about
establishing
the
food
council,
and
that
was
happened
in
january
of
2012
and
continues
to
the
present
day.
Obviously
so
grace
is
going
to
cover
that
phase
and
then
devon
may
weigh
in
on
that
section
as
well.
Q
So
the
next
slide,
please
grace
so
briefly,
jenny
and
I
are
going
to
talk
about
phase
one
launching
the
homegrown
minneapolis
initiative
again
starting
in
december
2008
and
if
you're
like
me,
you
may
have
a
hard
time
remembering
what
happened
before
kovid.
So
these
are
some
fun
facts
about
what
was
going
on
in
2008.
Just
to
refresh
your
memory.
Q
My
favorite
one
on
here
is
the
most
popular
food
trends,
which
included
bacon
and
cupcakes,
and
sometimes
both
of
those
things
together.
So
I'll,
let
you
read
through
the
other
ones,
and
then
we
will
go
on
to
slide
four,
which
is
really
some
of
the
key
things
that
were
happening
during
this
phase
one
period,
so
things
really
got
started
with
former
minneapolis
mayor
rt
rybeck
and
he
came
to
the
health
department
and
other
city
staff,
and
he
tasked
us
with
leading
this
new
initiative
called
homegrown
minneapolis.
Q
But
we
didn't
have
a
good
sense
of
what
that
was
or
what
it
meant.
But
the
goal
was
really
to
bring
together
community
members
and
city
staff
to
co-create
a
action
plan
that
would
help
improve
the
local
food
system,
everything
from
growing
and
processing
to
distribution
and
consumption
of
healthy
and
sustainably
grown
local
foods.
Q
So
I
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
the
first
homegrown
minneapolis
staff
coordinator
at
the
health
department
and
in
my
role
I
got
to
work
really
closely
with
patti
and
other
health
department
and
city
staff
and
community
members
like
jenny,
and
we
spent
this
time
really
wrestling
with
the
question
of
what
is
the
city's
role,
the
city
government's
role
in
creating
a
strong
local
food
system.
And
how
can
we
bring
city
enterprise
together
with
community
to
take
meaningful
action
to
improve
the
local
food
system?
Q
So
that
included
a
couple
of
key
things
like
establishing
an
advisory
committee
that
would
help
frame
and
guide
the
work,
and
that
was
led
by
three
great
community
tri-chairs
and
supported
by
city
staff.
And
then
we
also
convened
four
working
groups
and
they
met
together
over
the
course
of
about
nine
months
or
so
to
develop
an
extensive
set
of
recommendations
around
some
key
topics.
Q
I
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I'm
really
sorry
that
something
came
up
with
my
family
and
I
have
to
get
out
leave
early,
but
kristen.
You
did
a
great
job
of
summarizing
and
part
of
why
we
even
talked
about
doing
this
is
because
I
know
I,
although
I've
been
involved
in
this
work
for
a
long
time,
I
work
with
a
lot
of
people
who
are
in
different
phases
of
their
involvement,
including
some
who
are
just
getting
engaged
for
the
first
time
in
policy
work
and
there's
a
lot
of
questions
about.
How
does
it
work?
I
How
quickly
does
it
move?
What
what
are
we
doing?
What's
our
role
in
responsibility-
and
I
think
context
is
really
important
and
helpful.
So,
as
kristin
said,
I
was
a
local
food,
you
know
activist
I
I
was
a
small
food
business
owner.
I
had
a
restaurant
from
1996
to
2001
and
then
a
catering
company,
and
so
I
was
very
engaged
in
local
food
from
how
is
it?
How
are
regulations
going
to
impact
me,
and
I
was
also
doing
a
lot
of
teaching.
I
I
was
working
with
youth
farm
marcus
way
back
then,
and
so
what
I
really
want
to
emphasize
is
while
this
came
from
the
mayor
and
the
health
department
was
tasked,
it
was
absolutely
an
engagement
with
community
members,
and
that
was
an
incredibly
important
component
about
this.
So
the
advisory
committee
was
made
up
of
community
members.
They
definitely
worked
in
the
food
space,
but
they
were
community
members.
I
They
were
not
city
employees
and
they
were
not
representing
any
specific
organization,
and
the
point
was
to
really
make
this
work
more
accessible,
and
so
that's
a
really
still
a
really
important
foundation
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
now
and
why
these
are
open
to
the
community
and
hey.
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
two
students
who
are
here
today.
I
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
that,
because
I
made
this
a
part
of
my
graduate
work,
so
I
think
that
people
are
finding
that
they
have
access
to
a
city
process
and
a
policy-making
process
is
really
important
and
it
was
kind
of
a
first,
especially
in
relation
to
food.
Nobody
had
really
been
talking
about
food
policy
before
this.
I
give
actually
give
our
tea
right,
wife,
a
lot
of
credit
for
pushing
this
agenda,
and
the
other
thing
I
really
want
to
for
me
a
lot
of
it.
I
My
focus
and
I
was
really
involved
in
a
lot
of
the
regulatory
conversations,
because
other
things
that
were
we
were
realizing
was
that
policies
that
pertain
to
food
were
like
agriculture
policies
and
they
were
not
designed
to
respond
to
the
small
nonprofits
and
the
food
justice
organizations
that
were
emerging
and-
and
so
we
really
had
to
look
at
kind
of
you
know
updating
what
we
were
talking
about
in
the
kinds
of
requirements
and
expectations
we
had-
and
you
know,
from
anyone
from
urban
farmers
to
restaurants
who
were
you
know,
buying
tomatoes
from
someone
down
the
street
or
just
even
the
fees
that
people
had
to
pay
for
different
certifications.
I
So
that
was
for
me
especially
relevant,
and
what
the
other
I'll
just
mention
a
couple
other
things,
because
I
could
talk
for
a
long
time.
I
think
this
is
really
important.
Is
that
other
parallel
initiatives
and
networks
emerged
kind
of
in
response
or
in
conjunction
with
the
beginning
of
this
conversation,
the
two
primary
ones
were:
the
metro,
food
access
network,
which
became
the
metro,
food
justice
network
and
the
minnesota
food
charter
network,
which
was
absolutely
a
sort
of
next
step
in
making
policy
recommendations.
I
And
so-
and
we
learned
a
lot
from
that-
we
learned
a
lot
about
things
that
work
and
things
that
probably
work
better
in
different
ways
and
and
so
there's
just
an
incredible
wealth
of
wisdom.
I
I
heard
someone
say
today
and
I
feel
like
this
is
really
a
rich
thing
and
I'll
just
sort
of
finish
with
this
is
he
said
I
I
have
all
this
wisdom
and
it's
my
responsibility
to
share
it
to
pass
it
on
so
people.
You
should
ask
so
well
like
when
liz
mullen
reached
out
and
said.
I
I
just
want
to
talk
to
you
about
the
food
council
and
how
it
all
works.
So
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
and
ask
me
I
will
share
whatever
wisdom.
I
have
there's
a
lot
of
other
people
with
a
lot
of
wisdom
in
this
group
and
know
that
things
take
time,
and
so,
while
it
feels
like
we're
doing
a
lot
of
just
sort
of
talking
and
revisiting
conversations,
a
lot
happens
out
of
that.
Q
Thank
you,
jenny,
yes,
yeah!
So
grace.
If
you'd
like
to
go
on
to
the
next
slide,
we
wanted
to
pause
here.
So
that
was
your
taste
of
what
phase
one
of
homegrown
minneapolis
was
all
about.
That's
all
we
have
time
to
go
into
tonight,
but
we
wanted
to
open
it
up
to
see
what
questions
do
you
have
about
the
early
days
of
homegrown
minneapolis?
Q
Is
there
anything
specific
that
you
would
like
to
learn
more
about,
so
that
we
can
maybe
present
some
information
in
the
future
or
have
offline
conversations
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
about
phase
one
specifically
and
there's
some
examples
on
the
slide?
If
that
will
help
spark
specific
questions
that
you
might
have.
Q
Q
All
right,
we'll
turn
it
over
to
patty
to
go
into
phase
two
and
again
you'd
be
thinking
about
what
you
might
want
to
know
more
about
about
each
of
these
phases,
and
we
can
come
back
to
that
at
the
end
thanks.
Everyone.
C
Great-
and
I
see
helen
says:
do
you
keep
an
alumni
list
of
homegrown
members?
That
would
be
a
rad
group
of
people
to
know,
and
we
should,
because
there
are
so
many
rock
stars
associated
with
local
food
work.
C
So
thanks
for
that
that
question
helen,
so
I
just
wanted
to
talk
briefly
about
phase
two,
and
that
was
from
july
2009
to
september
2011,
and
my
favorite
fun
fact
from
that
couple
of
years
was
all
about
the
best-selling
books.
Fifty
shades
of
gray
fifty
sh
shades
darker
fifty
shades
breed.
I
don't
know
if
you
remember
those
books
and
I
think
there
were
movies
too,
but
that
came
out
of
that
that
era.
C
C
That's
really
going
to
guide
the
city
and
the
community
on
local
foods
issues
and
will
be
representative
of
our
community,
so
that
was
the
beginning
of
the
thinking
of
a
food
policy
council,
and
so
I
remember
I
was
pretty
involved
in
that
work
group
along
with
some
key
community
leaders
and
we
were
pretty
systematic.
We
researched
existing
food
councils
from
our
food
policy
councils
from
across
the
united
states,
and
we
looked
at
you
know.
I
think
we
even
looked
at
what
was
happening
in
canada.
C
We
tried
to
kind
of
uncover
some
models
and
we
developed
some
important
conclusions.
The
first
one
was
is
that
we
didn't
want
to
become
too
bureaucratic
or
too
government
focused.
What
we
saw
is
that
some
food
councils
were
really
part
of
government
and,
as
a
result,
they
had
that
government
he
feel
to
them.
C
We
also
saw
food
policy
councils
that
were
all
about
community
and
that
didn't
have
a
tie
in
with
policy
makers
and
with
local
government,
and
we
knew
that
wasn't
really
the
way
to
go
either.
C
We
also
learned
that
we
didn't
want
to
have
a
total
exclusive
focus
on
policy.
While
I
love
policy,
it's
part
of
my
job.
Sometimes
policy
is
a
turn
off
for
people
and
as
jenny
mentioned,
policy
is
slow,
so
we
wanted
to
combine
you
know,
policy
and
learning
and
education
about
the
food
systems,
best
practices,
strategies
etc,
and
then,
lastly,
we
knew
that,
in
order
to
sustain
a
food
council,
we
needed
to
have
some
consistent
funding.
C
So,
as
I
mentioned
some
food
councils
around
the
country,
they
were
totally
funded
by
foundations
and
foundation,
funding
ebbs
and
flows,
and
so
we
were
able
to
get
some
general
fund
dollars
from
the
city
in
order
to
hire
a
homegrown
staff
person.
To
do
this
work.
E
D
C
Great
okay,
let's
and
it
looks
like
in
the
chat,
there
was
something
about
a
question:
how
many
food
councils
are
there
across?
The
u.s
and
helen
may
have
put
that
answer
in
the
chat,
possibly
okay.
So
next
slide
grace.
C
So
what
we
did
is
we
really
chose
a
hybrid
structure
again,
one
that
was
rooted
in
the
community,
but
that
also
was
part
of
government
and
had
close
ties
to
policy
makers,
and
so
in
the
early
years
of
homegrown,
we
had
council
members
in
the
mayor's
office.
They
were
super
involved
in
the
creation
of
homegrown
and
so
that
that
made
a
huge
difference.
C
What
do
we
need
to
revisit?
So
again?
We
wanted
to
develop
innovative
policies
and
strategies
to
improve
the
food
system.
C
C
The
city
used
to
produce
something
called
sustainability
targets
that
actually
came
out
of
kim's
shop,
and
these
were
these
were
metrics
that
were
created
around
the
food
system
and
we
wanted
to
provide
technical
assistance
around
these
local
sustainability
sustainability
targets
we're
no
longer
as
a
city.
We
don't
develop
these
sustainability
targets
anymore.
Instead,
we've
got
some
other
performance
measurements
targets
that
we've
fed
into.
C
We
certainly
wanted
to
advance
the
food
system
and
we
had
a
number
of
values
here
that
are
important
to
just
relay.
We
wanted
the
food
policy
council
to
be
health,
promoting
environmental,
sustainable,
local,
resilient,
inclusive,
equitable,
fair
and
transparent,
so
wow,
that's
a
big
long
laundry
list
to
live
up
to
next
again
the
recommendations
and
action
steps
that
kristin
mentioned.
We
wanted
to
develop,
implement
and
evaluate
those.
C
We
felt
that
we
had
a
role
in
providing
leadership
to
the
to
the
regional
food
system,
even
though
we're
minneapolis,
you
know
we
are
part
of
this
larger
region
and
then
lastly
celebrate
food
and
use
it
as
a
way
to
build
community
and
make
sure
that
we're
really
focused
on
minneapolis
as
many
communities
and
culture
next
slide.
C
So
these
are
just
some
prompts
and
again,
as
jenny
said,
you
know
she
could
talk
on
and
on
about
this
I
could
talk
on
and
on
about
this.
You
know
something
that
we
should
think
about.
Maybe
not
now,
because
we're
running
out
of
time,
but
did
we
choose
the
right
model,
was
hybrid,
the
right
model.
C
A
So
phase
three
is
started
with
the
actual
establishment
of
the
minneapolis
food
council.
It
started
in
january
2012
and
is
still
going
today,
as
you
all
know,
to
get
a
sense
of
what
was
happening
in
2012.
I
was
in
fifth
grade
the
avengers
and
the
hunger
games.
Movies
were
some
of
the
top
movies
and
also
trent
some
fashion.
Trends
that,
I
am
glad
are
gone,
include
a
lot
of
mustaches
and
neon,
so
we've
moved
on
from
that.
That
was
ten
years
ago.
A
A
Ever
since,
as
paddy
mentioned,
the
food
council
came
out
of
this
recommendation
from
the
phase
2
working
group,
the
structure
of
having
it
be
a
city
board
and
then
having
shared
co-chair
leadership
with
one
chair
appointed
by
the
mayor,
which
is
our
guest
this
year
and
the
other
elected
by
the
group,
which
is
devon.
This
year
was
chosen
with
the
goal
of
creating
a
sustainable
connection
to
and
also
standing
in
the
community,
to
make
sure
we
have
that
sort
of
hybrid
attitude
that
patty
was
talking
about
in
the
past.
A
A
lot
of
the
work
has
been
done
through
forming
working
groups
and
task
forces
with
members
of
the
public
and
the
food
council.
These
groups
would
meet
usually
in
the
latter
part
of
meetings
and
sometimes
outside
of
meetings
to
discuss
and
work
on
specific
topics
of
interest
related
to
local
food
policy.
A
Since
2020,
the
focus
of
the
free
council
has
been
on
the
minneapolis
food
action
plan
yay,
so
working
groups
haven't
been
around
since
then.
If
you're
wondering
like
oh,
why
I
have
heard
about
these
working
groups
and
why
don't?
We
have
any
right
now
and
then
I'll
I'll
go
into
some
of
the
bigger
milestones
that
we've
we've
hit.
Since
the
food
council
started,
some
of
the
biggest
topics
in
terms
of
policy
advocacy
have
been
on
urban
ag
policy
and
staple
foods,
as
well
as
interconnected
policies
that
build
on
those
efforts.
A
A
The
food
council
has
done
a
lot
of
different
things.
This
is
a
short
list,
as
patty
and
kristen
said
we
can't
go
over
all
of
it,
but
we
have
supported
amendments
to
urban
agriculture
policy
and
the
garden
lease
program.
The
food
council
has
discussed
researched
and
supported
amendments
to
the
staple
food
ordinance.
A
A
Those
are
all
of
the
city
all
things
that
the
food
council
has
helped
support,
they've,
also
written
in
letters
to
things
such
as
the
park
board
and
for
policies
such
as
the
urban
agriculture
activity
plan,
the
community
garden
policy
and
parks
for
all.
Finally,
there's
also
been
some
letters
written
for
minneapolis
public
schools
policies.
So,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
support
things
that
are
happening
and
add
comments
and
feedback.
A
Another
really
big
thing,
as
we
know,
has
been
launching
the
food
action
plan,
work
that
started
in
2019
and
is
still
going
now
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
later,
but
where
we're
at
with
that,
but
that
has
been
a
huge
milestone
in
terms
of
turning
the
food
council
work
into
something
really
exciting
in
terms
of
a
policy
document,
and
finally,
patty
mentioned
that
there
have
been
a
lot
of
open
houses
and
a
food
policy
forum
over
the
years
has
been
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
gather
with
hundreds
of
people
coming
to
learn
more
about
the
food
system
and
connect
in
community.
A
So
that
sounds
really
fun
and
then
similar.
I
have
a
few
questions
for
what
to
think
about
and
we'll
open
it
up
for
questions
about
what
you
want
to
maybe
know
about
the
food,
the
history
of
the
food
council.
What
do
you
want
to
learn
more
about
some
ideas
include
what
specific
changes
do
you
have
an
ag
policy?
What
are
some
of
the
past
working
groups?
A
So
yeah?
Are
there
any
questions
about
the
history
of
homegrown
and
food
council
and
feel
free
also
to,
as
others
have
said,
to
email
us
also,
I'm
sorry
devon
was
going
to
add
some
things
but
had
to
step
out.
So
I'm
sure
she
would
love
to
share
some
more
about
her
perspective
at
another
time,
but
yeah
you
can
email,
we
hope
to
keep
talking
about
it.
So
this
is
not
the
end
of
the
conversation
and
what?
What
are
your
thoughts?
A
E
Beautiful
yeah,
I
think
it'll
do
us
well
to
keep
you
know.
You
know
educating
people
on
the
history,
such
a
rich
history
here
and
start
sharpening.
The
vision
for
the
future
is
by
including
more
people
on
the
journey
here.
Are
there
any
questions.
U
I
don't
know
if
I
have
any
more
questions
but
just
comments.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
history
and
you
know
bringing
it
to
jenny,
breen
and
then
seeing
all
of
this
is
just
really
wonderful
for
someone
like
me,
that's
new
to
this
and
really
love
that
patty.
U
When
you
spoke
about
policy
and
the
community
and
really
kind
of
doing
this
hybrid
version,
I
just
see
such
a
huge
benefit
to
that
and
then
a
big
benefit
to
this
group
to
be
able
to
bounce
ideas
and
hear
what
everyone
is
working
on
and
how
we
can
all
kind
of
contribute
to
each
other's
projects,
and
I
will
say
out
of
you
know
over
response
to
everything
you
know
I
that
was
kind
of
when
I
really
joined
in
you
know
being
a
part
of
starting
minnesota
central
kitchen
and
seeing
a
ton
of
nonprofits
work
together,
which
I
don't
know
has
always
been
something.
E
We
appreciate
that
yeah
amazing
job,
you
guys,
and
sometimes
we
just
like
hearing
it's
like
hearing
that
we're
we're
in
the
right
direction
and
you
know
so.
I
really
appreciate
that
statement.
You
know.
E
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
everybody's
time.
You
know
this.
We
can
have
this
comes.
I
talk
a
lot
so
like
this
could
go
on
forever.
I'm
just
trying
to
I'm
I'm
keeping
reserved
yeah
yeah.
Is
there
any
other
questions.
S
I
guess
I
have
a
quick
question.
I'd
be
curious.
What
sort
of
like
membership
has
looked
like
in
the
past
and
if
there
have
been
like
with
community
members
like
any,
not
like
restrictions
on
membership?
But
I
guess
I'm
wondering
specifically
about
like
young
people's
involvement
and
youth
in
the
space
and
kind
of
like
what
that's
looked
like
in
the
past.
C
Is
that
can
I
just
answer
that
that's
a
great
question,
because
we
we
had
linked
with
so
minneapolis
has
a
youth
coordinating
board,
which
is
all
around
it's
like
a
multi-cross
jurisdictional
group.
Looking
at
how
the
city,
the
county,
the
park
board
better
serves
youth,
and
so
we
went
to
the
youth
coordinating
board,
which
has
a
a
youth
congress
and
said
we
really
want
to
involve
you
in
this
work,
and
so
we
had
a
couple
representatives.
C
This
was
a
long
time
ago
now
who
were
part
of
the
food
council
and
we
weren't,
and
maybe
we
just
didn't
work
hard
enough.
We
weren't
able
to
like
sustain
that
relationship
and
they
would
come
to
some
meetings
and
not
others,
and
it
was
quite
because
it
was
a
bunch
of
adults
talking
you
know
and
maybe
not
capturing
their
imagination.
C
So
I
think
that's
a
really
good
question,
and
maybe
it's
something
you
should
look
at.
You
know
as
a
food
council.
How
do
we?
C
Q
I
think
that
what
you
said
was
accurate
patty
that
there's
been
some
attempts
to
involve
youth
in
different
ways
and
for
one
reason
or
another:
it's
not
something.
We've
been
able
to
sustain,
but
I
think
the
youth
voice
is
so
powerful
when
it
comes
to
advocating
for
policy
and
identifying
policy
change
and
things
that
need
to
be
done.
So
I
think
future
conversations
would
be
great
to
figure
out
how
to
re-engage
with
groups
like
that.
E
Yeah,
just
to
add
to
that
you
know,
in
my
experience
as
a
youth
worker
and
someone
on
the
ground
constantly,
there
is
a
rhythm
to
everything,
we're
doing,
and
it's
based
on
the
changes,
the
seasons,
I
think
usually
we're
needing
these
groups
and
topics
based
on
our
schedule.
But
we
need
to
understand
these
kids
are
in
school.
We
cannot
interrupt
their
processes.
E
We
need
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
name
their
own
time
when
they're
available-
and
I
usually
struggle
because
usually
when
these
things
come
to
my
attention,
I'm
in
the
middle
of
something
with
an
army
of
babies-
and
I
do
not
want
to
take
away
from
the
fact
that
I
got
them
talking
today.
E
You
know
I
got
them
moving,
and
so
I
really
want
to
like
name
that.
One
thing
I
do
want
to
exercise
this
season,
though,
is
that
coming
this
fall.
I
do
want
to
spend
all
my
efforts.
First
of
all
introducing
this
council
to
my
army
of
babies
on
the
north
side,
and
hopefully,
by
this
this
fall.
E
We
can
share
with
you
everything
we
did
this
summer,
which
is
usually
pretty
incredible
and
then
also
give
them
an
opportunity
to
spend
the
time
between
going
back
to
school
and
actually
naming
what
they've
experienced
throughout
the
season
with
the
council
and
things
like
that,
so
they
can
have
a
voice
here.
I
think
that's
a
good
place
to
start.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
hope
that
kind
of
answers
the
question
a
little
bit.
E
A
C
E
Yeah
capacity
around
this
stuff-
that's
another
topic
also.
I
just
want
to
be
mindful
to
remind
everybody.
I
know
that
we're
everyone
is
dealing
with
a
little
bit
of
fatigue
in
this
work
from
the
past
couple
of
years,
and
we
always
forget
that,
because
we
jump
right
in
and
willing
to
go
and
really
not
think
about
our
own
selves
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
good
to
be
exhausted
for
a
reason,
but
just
be
mindful
of
your
own
wellness
and
don't
make
busy
work.
You
know
focus
on
your.
E
You
know
we
need
you,
so
we
don't
need
anyone
else
falling
off
or
you
know
you
know
burning
out,
and
things
like
that,
so
you
know
really
take
care
of
yourself
and
make
sure
that
your
organizations,
wherever
you're
coming
from
understands
the
importance
of
you
as
an
asset.
So
I'll
just
leave
you
with
that.
Y
Yeah
perfect,
my
old
colleagues
at
the
minnesota
department
of
agriculture
are
working
on
an
application
to
the
usda,
the
federal
government,
to
work
on
how
we
can
get
more
local
food
into
assistance,
programs
and
they're
doing
what's.
I
think,
a
pretty
innovative
approach
for
state
government
and
actually
have
a
public
comment
period
on
their
application.
Y
So
folks
can
review
it
and
weigh
in-
and
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
expertise
in
this
group
and
you
all
know
a
lot
of
other
great
people.
So
I'll
put
that
chat
or
put
it
in
the
chat
and
grace
if
you
can
send
it
around.
It
closes
next
monday,
the
18th,
but
it's
a
really
cool
opportunity
to
bring
a
lot
of
extra
money
into
the
state.
So
thanks
to
anyone
who's
energized
and
can
give
some
brilliance
to
that
important
effort.
E
Awesome,
I
will
look
for
that
from
grace
also
happy
earth
day.
E
H
And
without.
E
C
We
are
hiring
for
tamara's
replacement,
so
that
is
in
your
agent.
There's
a
link
in
your
agenda
to
that
job.
The
job
closes
tomorrow,
so
I
mean,
I
think,
it's
open
the
whole
day
tomorrow.
So
it's
time
for
a
last
minute
or
you
know
submission.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
and
then
our
next
meeting
will
be
in
person.
I
think
the
date
is
may
11th
and
we're
looking
for
a
spot.
C
We
have
a
backup
spot
downtown
at
our
new
building
at
the
health
department
and
a
bunch
of
other
city
departments
moved
into
a
new
building
which
is
very
lovely
or
as
good
as
it
gets
for
government
workers
anyway,
but
we're
also
you
know
we
could
meet
in
the
community
and
we've
done
that
a
lot
in
the
past.
We
just
need
to
make
sure
that
the
room
is
ada
compliant.
C
It
has
to
be
large
enough
to
make
sure
that
we're
physically
distancing
because
of
covid
and
we
planned
a
you-
know,
offer
masks
if
people
want
to
wear
those-
and
you
know
access
to
transportation
or
good
parking,
that's
another
criteria.
So
if
you
could,
you
know
food
council
members
if
you
want
to
host
us,
we
just
we'd
be
up
for
that.
Just
the
space
has
to
meet
those
criteria.
C
So
if
you
could
reach
out
to
grace
and
and
let
her
know,
if
there's
a
space
that
would
accommodate
the
food
council,
that'd
be
lovely.
A
Beautiful
just
to
add
on
to
that
right
now
there
is
not
a
hybrid
option
due
to
legal
requirements
that
we
are
our
clerk's
office
is
tron
is
really
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
that
we
can
have
the
technological
means
to
make
us
fit
the
legal
requirements
of
open
meetings,
but
just
everyone
knows:
there's
not
going
to
be
the
option
for
either
members
or
the
public
to
call
in
or
video
call
at
the
moment,
but
they're
working
on
it.
A
We
know
it
really
sucks
it's
hard,
but
I
just
want
to
know
that
that
we
hope
to
all
see
you
there
in
person
would
do
our
best
to
stay
safe,
but
just
wanted
to
make
that
announcement
so
that
we
can
hopefully
see
everyone
there
and
try
to
make
it
a
fun
time.
Just
you
know,
despite
the
big
change,
so
yes,
email
me
ideas
and
also
talk
about
it
at
the
executive
committee
meeting
because
we
have
to
you
know,
plan
ahead.
C
I
think
we'll
give
an
update
on
the
minneapolis
food
action
plan
at
the
next
meeting
and
yes
devote
some
time
to
the
survey
results
we
weren't
able
to
talk
about
that
at
today's
or
tonight's
meeting,
but
so
just
that
was
on
the
agenda.
Just
know
that
we'll
cover
it
next
time,
yeah.
C
E
Oh,
my
god,
I'm
excited!
That's
my
new
favorite
word
data.
I
just
want
to
say
that
okay,
well
with
that,
it
looks
like
we're
right
on
time.
E
E
You
better
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
and
you
can
always
reach
out
to
the
to
us
at
homegrown
at
minneapolismn.gov.
E
Are
there
anything
else
grace
that
you
wanted
to
bring
up
anybody
else?
I
wanted
to
mention
anything
council
members
or
staff
before
we
adjourn
okay.
Well,
sorry
trying
to
keep
on
time,
if
not
without
objection,
I'll
declare
the
meeting
adjourned.
Our
next
homegrown
food
council
meeting
will
be
on.
Let
me
just
double
check
that
date
here
looks
like
may
11th.
E
Beautiful
and
I'll
see
all
your
beautiful
faces
on
may
11th
and
yeah
without
addressing.
I
declared
a
meeting
adjourned.
