Good
afternoon
my
name
is
barry
clegg,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
minneapolis
charter
commission.
Welcome
to
this
live
broadcast
of
our
virtual
meeting.
This
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d
.021,
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
B

G

B
B
B
G
G
So,
starting
this
year,
we're
working
with
seven
of
those
11
seats
that
are
up
for
appointment
this
year,
which
we
opened
up
for
recruitment
using
the
city's
open
appointments
process
on
friday
march,
4th
that
recruitment
period
closed
this
past
monday
april
4th.
So
during
that
month-long
recruitment
period,
we
did
open
up
and
accept
applications.
G
My
office
received
a
total
of
53
applications
for
those
first
seven
positions.
All
of
that
information
is
being
transmitted
this
afternoon
to
chief
judge
barnett
for
his
consideration.
We
are
hoping
to
have
confirmation
about
the
appointments.
The
judge
makes
back
in
time
for
the
next
regular
commission
meeting,
which
is
set
for
wednesday
may
4th
at
4
pm
and,
of
course,
as
I
indicated,
this
is
the
first
of
three
rounds
of
appointments
that
we'll
be
making
to
the
charter
commission
this
year.
On
friday.
G
G
Some
of
the
seats
will
be
appointed
to
an
initial
two-year
term
and
some
to
an
initial
four-year
term
in
order
to
achieve
the
overall
balance
in
membership
that
I
mentioned,
and
just
for
overall
general
awareness,
mr
chair
and
for
those
in
the
community
who
may
be
monitoring
our
meeting
today.
I
wanted
to
reiterate
some
of
the
details
about
the
specific
seats
that
we're
going
to
be
appointing
in
this
first
round,
so
those
seats
that
are
encompassed
in
this
first
round
of
appointments
include
seats,
3
4,
5,
7,
8,
10
and
15..
G
G
B
B
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Again
as
a
general
reminder
to
the
body
and
also
to
those
in
the
community
who
may
be
monitoring
the
meeting,
I
wanted
to
offer
a
friendly
reminder
that
the
deadline
to
submit
a
petition
proposing
amendments
to
the
city
charter,
which
is
allowed
pursuant
to
minnesota's
statute,
section
4,
10,
12,
1
and
2,
is
quickly
approaching.
G
We've
published
on
the
charter
commission's
web
page
that
timeline
and
the
deadline
to
receive
a
petition
is
monday
may
2nd
by
the
close
of
business
4
30
pm
on
monday
may
2..
We
have
not
been
notified
yet
by
any
groups
who
might
be
circulating
the
proposed
petition,
but
it
is
possible
that
there
is
a
petition
circulating.
So
I
just
wanted
to
remind
this
body
and
to
remind
the
community
of
that
approaching
deadline
for
the
submission
of
any
petitions
that
would
propose
a
charter
amendment
to
the
charter
that
could
be
referred
to.
G
G
G
On
monday,
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
will
be
the
first
meeting
to
return
to
an
in-person
status,
followed
the
next
day
next
tuesday,
the
12th
by
the
inter
intergovernmental
relations
committee
and
the
committee
of
the
whole
that
afternoon,
which
includes
all
13
members
on
both
bodies
and
finally,
the
full
meeting
of
the
regular
city
council
for
its
regular
meeting
on
thursday.
Next
week.
All
in
person
the
following
week
april
18th,
we
hope
to
start
in-person
meetings
for
what
we
call
our
independent
bodies.
G
The
charter
commission
is,
as
a
state
agency,
one
of
those
bodies
that
we
classify
in
the
independent
body
category
so
we'll
be
looking
to
transition.
The
charter,
commission
and
those
other
independent
bodies
back
to
in-person
meetings.
The
week
of
april
18th
for
the
community
that
will
primarily
affect
first,
the
planning,
commission
heritage
preservation
board
and
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment.
It
will
affect
the
charter
commission
for
our
next
regularly
scheduled
monthly
meeting,
which
is,
as
I
noted
earlier
wednesday
may
4th,
so
that
I
think
will
be
the
first
meeting.
G
We
return
to
the
chamber
room
319
at
city
hall,
317.,
I'm
sorry
at
city
hall,
for
an
in-person
meeting
of
the
charter
commission.
We
then
would
be
looking
for
the
first
week
of
may
to
be
rolling
out
the
return
to
in-person
meetings
to
all
of
our
other
appointed
advisory
boards,
commissions,
committees,
task
forces,
working
groups
etc.
So
between
now
and
the
first
part
of
may,
a
lot
of
work
across
the
city
enterprise
to
return
us
back
to
an
in-person
meeting
format
should
affect
the
charter
commission
for
its
next
regular
meeting
on
wednesday
may
4th.
E
G
Think,
assuming
it's
after
mr
chair
and
to
commissioner
sandberg
after
april
18th,
we
would
default
to
doing
an
in-person
public
meeting.
But
certainly
if
it
were
a
meeting
of
less
than
a
quorum
of
the
body,
we
would
be
able
to
do
an
online
meeting.
Really.
We
have
to
determine
the
quorum
of
the
body.
So
if
it's
not
a
quorum
of
the
body
or
a
quorum
of
a
working
group,
it's
just
a
few
members
that
are
getting
together
to
make
discussions.
G
E
G
Yeah,
the
city
is
still,
commissioner,
thanks
a
great
question
and
there
is
a
team
at
the
city
still
working
on
this
option.
There
are
a
number
of
complexities
between
changes
in
the
state
open,
meeting
law
that
were
made
in
the
last
session
last
year
and
technology,
and
so
I
will
be
happy
to
send
around
you
a
one-pager
about
those
changes.
Basically,
you've
gotten
very
used
to
saying,
subject
to
13d021,
which
is
the
statute
under
which
we've
been
operating.
G
G
However,
that
statute
had
several
changes
to
it
and
it
requires,
amongst
other
factors,
that
if
even
one
member
of
the
body
is
absent
and
chooses
to
participate
remotely,
then
this
technology
called
interactive
technology
in
the
law
must
be
capable
of
of
supporting
all
members
of
the
body
being
able
to
see
and
hear
each
other
from
the
beginning
throughout
to
the
end
of
the
meeting.
So
you
know
right
now:
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
activate
all
15
cameras
and
all
15
microphones.
G
At
the
same
time,
the
technology
does
not
support
that,
but
the
law
requires
it,
so
our
systems
do
not
match
with
the
law.
The
other
piece
is
that,
with
the
notice
of
the
meeting,
which
we
would
call
either
the
calendar
or
the
published
agenda
in
lens
any
member
who's
participating
remotely,
we
must
provide
the
location
of
that
remote
participation
site
and
that
site
must
be
opened
up
to
the
public
and
it
must
be
accommodating
of
the
public,
including
accommodations
under
ada.
E
My
final
question
is:
is
there
any
way
that
we
might
possibly
do
something
differently
with
public
hearings,
because
it
was
so?
I
thought
beneficial
for
some
of
our
public
hearings.
We
had
so
many
people
participate,
many
more
than
we
would
have
in
an
in-person
setting,
or
is
that
subject
to
exactly
the
same
requirements.
G
Mr
chair,
to
the
commissioner's
point,
I
will
reiterate
again:
many
of
us
inside
would
concur
with
you
that,
while
many
things
over
the
last
two
years
were
very
difficult
and
challenging
individually
and
collectively,
one
thing
the
city
did
fairly
well
was
to
increase
access
and
transparency
of
public
meetings
to
participation
in
those
meetings,
not
just
the
council,
but
to
even
our
front
level
advisory
boards.
Something
we'd
like
to
see
maintain,
but
again
the
the
challenge
of
the
law
and
existing
technology
would
not
permit
that.
G
At
the
current
time
there
is
a
work
group
internal
to
the
city
that
includes,
for
example,
our
I.t,
our
finance,
our
facilities,
clerks
communications
and
other
team
members
who
are
working
very
diligently
to
see
about
some
form
of
a
hybrid
option.
That
would
allow
us
to
extend
this
level
of
access
that
we
have
provided
over
the
last
two
years,
which
we
think
is
incredible,
and
we
we
don't
want
to
pull
back
from
that
level
of
access.
G
But
in
terms
of,
as
I
said,
this
complex
change
in
the
law
and
available
technology
and
the
noticing
requirements
and
people
and
places
like
that.
It's
just
not
possible.
Right
now,
it's
probably
something
we
we
would
hope
to
bring
forward
as
options,
but
we
just
don't
have
that
capability
at
this
current
time,.
E
B
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
mr
carl,
I
would
just
conclude
by
noting
that
we've
talked
about
several
things
that
might
come
up
in
advance
of
our
maid
meeting,
including
last
minute
petitions
of
which
we
are
unaware,
including
significant
updates
from
work
groups
and
including
the
introduction
potentially
of
new
commissioners.
B
B
If
none
of
them
are
occurring
before
may
and
are
not
on
the
agenda
for
may,
we
will
have
nothing
on
our
may
agenda
and
if
that
is
the
case,
I
will
consult
with
the
other
officers
about
canceling.
Our
may
meeting
so
keep
your
eyes
peeled.
If
things
are
happening,
we
will
meet
if
things
are
not
happening.
We
won't
now
on
to
our
discussion
agenda
item
number
five
is
receiving
and
filing
a
report
from
the
charter
commission.
Even
year
elections
work
group.
B
The
work
group
met
on
monday
also
I'll
first
give
an
update
and
then
ask
commissioner
sandberg
co-chair
sandberg
to
supplement
it.
We
met
on
monday.
Our
focus
was
to
discuss
policy
issues
around
a
possible
switch
from
odd
to
even-year
municipal
elections.
We
discussed
issues
like
voter
turnout,
like
voter,
drop-off
or
voter
fatigue.
B
B
E
E
I've
asked
her
to
put
a
couple
of
more
documents
in
it
and
I
would
really
reach
out
to
all
commissioners
that
if
they
have
thoughts
or
ideas
about
reading
materials,
that
would
be
useful
for
the
work
group
and
the
rest
of
the
commission
to
please
send
that
information
to
chair
clegg
and
myself
and
we'll
make
sure
we
research
it
and
pull
out
the
pdf
and
send
it.
I
assume,
on
to
the
clerk's
office.
B
Thank
you
co-chair
sandberg.
That's
a
good
point.
You'll
recall
everyone
that,
on
previous
for
previous
work
groups,
we've
had
a
resource
list
posted
on
limbs.
That's
essentially
what
this
is.
So
this
will
be
all
the
resources
utilized
by
the
work
group
and
it's
available
to
all
charter
commissioners
and
all
members
of
the
public
through
libs.
B
C
Thank
you,
chair
clegg.
I
very
much
appreciate
it.
I'm
going
to
be
brief
and
just
touch
on
the
milestones
that
occurred
in
willow
curve
through
the
end
of
the
project,
starting
with
march
2nd,
which
of
course
was
the
date
that
the
the
redistricted
maps
were
approved
on
march
3rd.
The
next
day,
the
approved
ward
and
park
district
maps
were
filed
with
the
office
of
the
city
clerk,
which
marks
their
effective
date
and
so
no
further
boundary
changes
can
be
made
until
after
the
2030
census.
C
Also,
on
march
24th,
all
the
redistricted
maps
were
submitted
to
hennepin
county,
which
in
turn
uses
the
new
boundaries
for
its
own
redistricting
for
county
representation
and
the
deadline
for
that
redistricting
is
april.
26
of
this
year,
the
county
also
submits
the
redrawn
maps
to
the
minnesota
secretary
of
state's
office,
which
updates
the
state
voter
registration
system.
C
With
that
information
moving
on
to
april
15th,
the
city's
contract
with
the
map,
application
vendor
concludes
and
the
vendor
is
going
to
deliver
all
the
maps
and
the
comments
that
were
part
of
the
district
or
application
so
that
that
data
will
be
available
for
future
reference.
That,
of
course,
will
be
stored
by
our
it
group.
So
then,
I
want
to
move
into
the
2022
election
cycle
and,
of
course,
this
cycle
includes
state
county,
school
board
and
judicial
races
all
on
the
ballot
and
all
will
be
run
according
to
the
2022
redistricted
boundaries.
C
The
new
school
district
boundaries
become
effective
on
august
9th.
Those
are
the
earliest
that
become
effective,
which
is
the
date
of
the
primary
election,
and
I'm
sure
everybody
remembers
that
the
city
council
and
the
park
and
recreation
board
represent
their
current,
meaning
the
2012
drawn
districts
until
later
elections,
and
I'm
going
to
outline
those
shortly
so
moving
on
on
june
24th
early
voting
begins
for
the
primary
election.
C
C
4Th
2025
is
the
municipal
election
for
which
the
city
council
candidates
will
run
for
again
for
four-year
terms,
and
then
that
is
the
election
at
which
the
park
board
candidates
will
also
be
running
for
the
2022
redistricted
park
district
boundaries.
Again
those
park
board
districts
will
be
effective
when
the
board
members
take
their
oath
in
the
january
of
2026..
C
B
Hearing
none,
I
would
just
add
that,
as
you
all
know,
I
sent
an
email
to
the
entire
redistricting
group
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
asking
people
to
submit
any
suggestions.
They
would
have
any
debrief.
They
had
any
after
action
reports.
What
what
were
best
practices,
what
worked
and
what
did
not,
and
also
asking
for
people
who
would
volunteer
to
be
in
a
group
that
would
capture
all
that
information
and
put
it
in
a
report
that
could
be
used
by
the
redistricting
group
in
2031
and
2032..
B
I've
had
a
couple
of
responses
to
that.
A
couple
of
comments.
I
appreciated
thank
you
and
a
couple
of
volunteers
volunteering
to
be
on
the
after
action
review
committee.
I
would
renew
that
offer
and
ask
for
a
couple
more
volunteers
and
also
renew
my
request
for
for
additional
after
action
reviews
and
recommendations
for
best
practices
for
next
time.
So
please
follow
up
with
me
directly
or
through
email.
If
you'd
like
to
be
a
part
of
that
process
and
we'll
schedule
something
hopefully
before
our
next
charter
commission
meeting.
C
Chair
click
may
add
just
a
final
thing
here.
Of
course,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you,
chair
clegg
and
every
all
of
the
charter,
commissioners,
of
course,
for
all
the
courtesy
and
patience
and
the
hard
work
associated
with
the
redistricting
project.
I
really
had
a
terrific
time
working
with
everybody
and
I
very
much
enjoyed
the
project
overall.
So
thank
you
to
everybody,
including
the
entire
redistricting
group.
It
was
just
a
joy
to
work
with
everybody,
so
thank
you
very
much.
