11
members
present
thank
you.
Let
the
record
reflect,
we
have
a
quorum
and
I
did
just
see
the
council
president
I
know
she'll
be
in
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes.
We
have
two
items
on
our
published
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
reports
of
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle.
The
first
item
is
a
resolution
calling
on
the
United
States
to
lead
Global
efforts
to
relieve
famine
and
food
insecurity
in
the
Horn
of
Africa
and
applauding
the
delivery
of
Aid
and
nourishment
to
the
region.
B
Colleagues,
normally
a
policy
resolution
of
this
type
would
go
through
our
intergovernmental
Relations
Committee.
However,
as
you
know,
that
committee
only
has
regular
meetings
during
the
legislative
session.
So
therefore
we're
bringing
this
resolution
through
the
committee
of
the
whole
I
understand
that
council
member
Osman
plans
to
read
that
resolution
at
our
regular
council
meeting
on
Thursday.
So
there
isn't
a
planned
presentation
today.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this
item.
B
Seeing
none
I'll
move
approval
of
this
item
and
we
can
just
do
this
through
a
Voice
vote.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed,
say,
nay
that
carries
and
that
resolution
is
approved.
Thank
you.
The
next
item
is
the
primary
focus
of
today's
meeting.
That's
the
proposed
Omnibus
government
structure,
ordinance
which
implements
the
executive
mayor
and
legislative
Council
form
of
government
that
voters
approved
last
November
at
our
last
meeting,
managing
attorney
Susan
Trammell
provided
a
section
by
section
summary
of
the
draft
ordinance.
B
E
You
good
afternoon,
Madam
vice
president
committee
members,
as
noted,
I'll
briefly
review
the
process
and
timeline
before
the
body
takes
up
amendments.
Those
amendments
were
distributed
late
yesterday
afternoon
and,
as
always,
the
information
about
proposed
government
structure
can
be
found
in
the
files
that
are
linked
from
today's
meeting
agenda.
E
So
as
a
reminder,
the
proposed
ordinance
presents
what
we've
termed
an
Omnibus
ordinance
on
government
structure.
It's
the
single
largest
and
easily
the
most
complex
ordinance
that
we've
considered
here
at
the
city
council's
level
in
memory.
The
ordinance
is
a
companion
piece
to
the
voter
approved
Charter
Amendment,
which
established
the
executive
mayor
legislative,
Council,
form
of
government
as
previously
reported,
while
that
Charter
Amendment
imposed
a
new
system
of
governance,
primarily
focused
on
roles
and
responsibilities
of
Mayor
and
Council.
It
left
to
our
elected
policy
makers
the
task
of
Designing,
the
city's
administrative
structure.
E
That
is
how
to
organize
the
various
departments
that
deliver
city
services
and
programs,
and
this
ordinance
as
drafted,
would
amend
the
city's
code
of
ordinances
by
creating
six
new
chapters
in
Title
II
dealing
with
Administration.
These
new
chapters
are
listed
on
this
slide
for
reference
at
a
broad
level,
the
chapters
Define
the
new
form
of
government.
They
address
the
city
council
as
the
legislative
body.
They
address
the
mayor
as
the
chief
executive
and
they
Define
the
city's
Administration,
including
those
that
are
Executive
offices
and
the
remainder
which
are
administrative
departments.
Managing
attorney.
E
Susan
Trammell
reviewed
the
entire
draft
ordinance
at
the
last
committee
meeting
that
formal
presentation
followed
a
series
of
briefings
with
council
members
and
several
months
of
public
presentations
and
other
discussions,
all
of
which
began
Following.
Last
year's
election,
including
during
our
orientation
for
newly
newly
elected
council
members
in
total,
the
city,
has
been
working
to
get
to
this
point
for
11
months
now.
E
The
original
draft
that
was
reviewed
by
Ms
Trammell
at
the
last
meeting
reflected
the
mayor's
original
proposal,
along
with
those
adjustments
that
have
been
made
to
reflect
the
input
of
council
members
during
those
many
months,
I'd
like
to
review
the
anticipated
timeline.
As
a
reminder,
today
is
the
markup
session,
where
the
committee
will
process
the
proposed
amendments
that
have
been
submitted
by
individual
council
members.
Amendments
approved
today
will
be
forwarded
to
the
full
Council
for
its
consideration
at
its
regular
meeting
on
Thursday
this
week.
E
The
body,
then,
would
be
ready
to
finalize
the
ordinance
and
submit
its
formal
recommendation
to
the
full
Council
for
consideration
at
the
council's
regular
meeting
on
Thursday
October
20th,
starting
at
9
30
in
the
morning.
As
you
know,
in
all
cases,
we
want
to
complete
action
on
the
ordinance
no
later
than
November
17th
before
the
Thanksgiving
break,
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
any
necessary
adjustments
to
the
proposed
2023
budget
can
be
made
to
reflect.
E
The
technical
amendments
from
the
chair
reflect
a
variety
of
Corrections
to
that
original
draft,
primarily
identified
by
attorneys
from
the
office
of
City
attorney
and
other
operating
departments.
Assuming
that
those
technical
amendments
are
adopted,
then
that
copy
of
the
draft
ordinance
becomes
the
new
base
from
which
all
of
the
other
proposed
amendments
will
be
considered.
E
You
can
see
from
this
slide
that,
in
addition
to
the
technical
amendments,
we
have
a
series
of
eight
other
proposals
from
Council
Members,
we'll
present
them
and
consider
them
in
order
by
section
within
the
draft
ordinance
provides
a
very
logical
sequencing
to
the
presentation
of
each
of
those
ordinances,
as
we
take
them
up
in
order
by
section,
and
that
completes
my
introduction.
Madam
chair.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
I
would
just
like
to
move
the
removal
of
my
motions,
I'd
like
to
withdraw
those
motions,
since
there's
significant
overlap
between
what
I'm
trying
to
accomplish
and
what
council
members,
wansley
and
Ellison
have
proposed
and
I
think
that
will
help
clarify
and
simplify
this
discussion.
B
Thank
you
I
think
that
without
any
dissension
from
the
people
here
that
we
can
just
go
ahead
and
remove
that
just
to
clarify
is
that
six,
eight
and
six
B
correct.
Thank
you
so
we'll
remove
the
amendment
proposal
is
6a
and
6B,
and
so
we'll
go
through
one
through
five
and
then
over
to
seven.
B
Thank
you.
So
with
that
we'll
proceed
to
consider
all
of
these
other
amendments
that
have
been
prepared.
You
should
have
in
front
of
you
this
amendment
packet
staff,
has
put
these
in
order
according
to
section.
B
The
first
is
a
series
of
amendments
that
are
technical.
These
were
identified
by
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
I've
agreed
to
sponsor
these.
As
lead
author
on
the
ordinance.
These
technical
amendments
will
be
taken
up
in
a
single
vote
unless
there's
any
objection
after
we
dispose
of
the
technical
amendments,
we'll
take
all
the
following
ones
up,
because
they
are
organized
as
though
this
would
pass
there's
some
renumbering
in
that
I'll
ask
Ms
Trammell
to
present
this
technical
Amendment.
That's
in
your
packet,
Miss
trema.
F
Thank
you,
chair
paulasano
members
of
the
committee.
The
technical
Amendment
packet
are
amendments
that
are
edits
that
create
uniformity
between
various
sections
of
the
amendment
that
you
saw
before
clarify
clean
up
errors,
simplify
language
or
otherwise
Express
the
intention
better,
but
they
do
not
change
any
of
the
substantive
language
that
was
presented
to
you
before.
F
A
B
B
D
G
C
B
B
First,
I'll
ask
Miss
Trammell
to
introduce
each
of
them
to
summarize
its
content
when
she's
finished
I'll
recognize
the
author
to
speak
to
their
Amendment
after
the
author
has
had
the
chance
to
speak
to
their
Amendment
I'll
open
the
floor
to
any
debate
from
the
Deus
here
after
that
has
concluded
we'll
vote
by
roll
call.
So
there's
Clarity
in
the
results.
Are
there
any
questions
about
the
process
that
we'll
be
following?
This
is
similar
to
budget,
so
I,
don't
I,
think
it's
familiar
to
everybody
hang
on
one
sec.
B
Thank
you
so
miss
tremel.
Would
you
please
present
amendment
number
two.
F
Yes,
chair
palmasana
first
motion
by
council
member
wansley
is
to
amend
section
11.10,
the
chief
executive
section.
Her
motion
would
strike
the
Clause
that
states
shall
be
Chief,
spokesperson
and
official
representative
of
the
city
in
all
its
Affairs
and
replace
it
with
the
language
shall
be
the
ceremonial
spokesperson
of
the
city.
H
You
chair
palmisano,
before
I,
speak
to
this
I.
Do
have
a
couple
quick
comments.
So,
overall,
you
all
see
I'm
bringing
four
amendments
today
and
my
intention
with
all
of
them,
is
to
make
sure
that
our
government
restructure
is
done
as
Faithfully
as
possible
to
the
language
that
was
approved
by
voters
in
last
November
under
question
one.
H
Since
this
term
started
in
January,
there
has
been
a
multitude
of
possible
changes
to
government
restructure
that
have
been
discussed
as
part
of
implementing
question
one,
some
of
which
you
many
of
you
know
I
have
found
concerning
because
they
did
not
have
anything
to
do
with
what
the
voters
approved,
but
I
also
think
it's
crucial
that
we
stick
to
a
straightforward
execution
of
question,
one
which
means
clarifying
the
lines
of
authority
and
accountability
in
this
mayor
in
legislative
Council
structure.
H
I
want
to
note,
you
know
the
city
government
right
now
has
limited
credibility,
ability
with
Working
Class
People,
and
the
last
thing
we
need
to
do
is
to
give
the
perception
that
we
will
misconstrue
or
contort
the
mandates
that
the
voters
give
us.
In
fact,
Saint
Paul
city
council
just
showed
a
bad
example
of
this,
where
they
took
a
rent
control
policy
that
was
fundamentally
approved
by
voters
and
alter
it
drastically
to
appease
corporate
developers.
H
This
is
bad
for
democracy
and
shows
people
that
they
shouldn't
trust
elections
or
elected
officials
to
carry
out
their
work
in
good
faith.
So
I
brought
these
amendments
to
private
briefings
on
government
restructure.
So
many
of
you
have
seen
these
over
the
past
coming
weeks
or
past
weeks,
some
of
them
were
approved
in
conversations
and
integrated
into
the
draft
that
we're
looking
at
today.
Some
of
them,
which
I
will
be
discussing
it,
will
have
been
brought
forward
for
us
to
have
public
discussion
on
I.
H
Think
the
language
that
we're
looking
at
today,
if
these
amendments
are
passed,
is
something
that
I
can
collectively
in
good
faith
vote
in
support
of
and
I
also.
You
know
want
to
note
that
this
is
just
part
of
the
work,
as
you
noted
we're
going
to
to
have
to
do
a
lot
of
work
on
the
budget
side
to
make
sure
that
everything
that
we
approve
under
this
structure
is
fully
funded.
So
it
can
be
successful,
and
I
also
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
work
to
integrate.
H
Many
of
my
suggestions
and
earlier
conversations
and
in
private
briefings,
I
want
to
also
say
thank
you
to
officer
Trammell
ethics
officer
trauma
for
working
extensively
with
my
office
throughout
this
process
and
to
all
the
staff
who've
collaborated.
Now,
in
regards
to
the
spokesperson
amendment,
I
want
to
highlight
again
that
this
is
not
something
that
voters
approve
and
it
would
be
inappropriate
to
elevate
the
mayor
to
this
role
under
the
Guides
of
implementing
question.
H
Even
earlier
this
year,
we
saw
in
the
spring
in
regards
to
the
Department
of
the
human
rights
consent,
consent
decree,
the
mayor,
initially
refuted
the
legitimacy
of
the
entire
process
before
Council
or
staff
even
had
the
chance
to
review
the
findings
and
thanks
to
the
actions
taken
by
Council
of
President
Jenkins
as
well
as
council
member
Ellison,
we
actually
was
able,
as
Council,
be
brought
into
a
discussion
about
the
consent
decree
and
essentially
help
align
the
city
with
the
state
process.
And
now
the
city
is
at
the
negotiations
table
advancing
a
consent
decree.
I
A
B
H
G
Maybe
the
City
attorney
can
explain
what
ceremonial
Duties
are.
F
Chair
palmisano,
Vice
or
house
president
Jenkins
members
of
the
committee,
I'm,
not
sure
I,
know
what
is
meant
by
ceremonial
I
can
tell
you
that
when
I
review
this
in
a
legal
manner,
I
believe
that
the
language
that
was
in
there
before
a
law
supports
as
being
the
inherent
executive
functions
of
the
mayor.
F
So
the
mayor
being
the
chief
spokesperson
and
official
representative
of
the
city
and
it's
all
its
Affairs
is
the
language
that
was
in
the
proposed
ordinance
before
you
and
as
the
charter
commission
stated
when
it
presented
the
executive
mayor
and
legislative
Council,
Charter
Amendment,
the
one
that
was
adopted
by
the
voters
in
November,
they
stated
in
their
accompanying
memorandum
the
most
significant
change.
Our
proposal
makes
is
the
explicit
declaration
that
the
mayor
is
the
city's
chief
executive
officer
and
is
responsible
for
its
executive
and
administrative
functions.
F
So
the
charter,
now
in
the
first
lines
of
article
7,
section
7.1
a
now
States,
the
chief
executive
officer,
is
the
mayor
in
whom
the
city's
General
executive
and
administrative
Authority
resides
so
the
city
attorney's
office
provided
the
council,
the
legal
memorandum
discussing
the
scope
of
executive
and
legal
Authority,
Under
Minneapolis
City
Charter,
and
we
addressed
the
language
of
section
7.1.
In
that
memo.
F
In
the
memo
we
reminded
the
reader
of
the
well-established
and
fundamental
principle
that
an
executive
mayor
has
both
executive
powers
and
administrative
Powers.
An
executive
mayor
also
possesses
the
powers
that
are
impliedly,
granted
or
necessarily
incidental
to
carrying
out
the
explicit
functions
and
duties
vested
in
them
when
they
exercise
their
functions
and
duties
that
they're
assigned.
So
the
general
principles
of
Municipal
law
also
include
a
check
on
the
mayor's
Authority.
F
These
principles
that
I've
just
mentioned
are
articulated
not
only
in
case
law
and
the
language
of
our
Charter,
the
plain
language
that
we
read
from
the
charter,
but
also
in
Treatise
that
are
well
respected
in
the
community.
There's
Charles
Ryan's
Treatise,
the
mayor,
Chief
Municipal,
executive
law.
Also,
he
wrote
The
Law
of
local
government
operations,
there's
the
multi-volume
Treatise,
the
law
of
Municipal
corporations
by
Eugene
McQuillen
and
local
government
law
by
professor
John
Martinez.
F
That
came
with
the
proposed
Charter
amendments
from
the
charter
commission
that
chart
describing
various
duties
between
the
council
and
the
mayor.
The
mayor
as
wears
council
members
provide
constituent
services
for
their
Ward.
They
they
respond
and
act
as
a
community
resource
they
Advocate
and
their
ombudsmans
for
their
Awards.
The
mayor
functions
for
the
city
as
a
whole
and
he
does
serve
as
the
chief
spokesperson
and
as
Chief
spokesperson,
that
includes
representing
the
city
in
all
its
affairs.
F
The
changing
the
language,
as
proposed
by
council
member
wansley
limits
the
mayor's
role
to
that
of
a
ceremonial
spokesperson.
I
I'm,
not
100
certain
what
that
means,
but
to
me
without
doing
more
research.
On
that
phrase,
it
implies
that
it's
a
figurehead
without
much
impact
and
I,
think
that
one
would
say
that
the
chief
spokesperson
language,
if
you
think
about
what
Chief's
spokesperson
means
and
what
black
says
that
that
would
contradict
that.
Because
it's
not
fully
the
spokesperson.
F
I
think
the
proposal
is
also
contrary
to
that
which
established
by
the
Treatise
that
I
mentioned
and
doesn't
fit
within
the
executive
legislative
Council
framework.
That
was
intended
by
the
charter
commission
and
adopted
by
the
voters.
D
Thank
you,
madam
Chair,
by
your
description
of
you,
know,
executive.
You
know,
as
a
legal
term
of
art.
Doesn't
that
make
describing
a
spokesperson
role,
whether
Chief,
spokes,
spokesperson
or
ceremonial
spokesperson
doesn't
negate.
They
even
need
to
define
the
spokesperson
role
by
that
more
legal
term
of
art,
definition
of
an
executive.
F
F
Chair
palmisano
member
Payne
member,
how
many
this
one
could
argue
that
that
we
would
need
no
ordinances
whatsoever,
that
the
mayor
is
the
chief
executive
end
of
sentence
and
nothing
else
is
needed.
Counsel
is
the
legislative
body
end
of
sentence,
end
of
section
no
more
details,
but
it's
the
the
details
are
what
get
us
to
function
well
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
Yes,.
D
B
I
think
if
you'd
want
to
word
Smith
this
and
and
suggest
it
as
a
substitute
motion,
I
think
what
we're
talking
about
back
and
forth
here
is
really
more
of
you
know.
You
can
just
end
this
sentence
and-
and
you
can
choose
instead
to
do
it-
the
way
that
council
member
wansley
has
proposed
here.
But
if
there's
another
suggestion,
then
I
don't
want
anybody
up
here
to
be
confused
and
maybe
I'm
the
only
one
that
is
but
about
what
we're
talking
about
on
the
floor.
We.
J
So
that
would
be
the
substitute
motion
so
pretty
pretty
much
the
same
as
the
original
draft
that
came
forward
from
staff,
but
just
swapping
out
the
word
City
with
executive
branch
so
happy
to
make
that
motion.
B
All
right,
councilmember
Johnson,
has
made
a
substitute
motion.
The
language
is
in
the
in
the
chat
in
our
queue.
So
instead
of
the
red
underlined
part
from
council
member
wansley,
it
says
and
shall
be
the
chief
spokesperson
and
official
representative
of
the
executive
branch
in
all
its
Affairs.
Is
there
a
second
on
that
subject,
there's
a
second
and
then
councilmember
wansley.
Is
it
fair
to
say
this
is
a
friendly
Amendment,
and
so
we
can
replace
this
okay.
B
So
then,
this
item
is
up
for
discussion.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this
substitute
in
the
queue
council,
member
Osman.
K
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
I
want
to
get
back
to
the.
K
To
you
ma'am,
do
you
see
this
as
a
as
you
described
the
last
one
blank
when
consumer
Payne
suggested
to
delete
the
ceremonial
part?
What's
your
take
on
this?
If
you
don't
mind.
F
Chair
palmisano
member
Osman
members
of
the
committee,
if
I
understand
your
question
correctly,
councilmember
Osman
you're,
asking
if
I
think
this
language
executive
branch
has
an
impact
greater
than
or
equal
to
that
which
the
ceremonial
spokesperson
language
had
I
do
think
it's
fairly
equivalent
to
the
ceremonial
spokesperson
language,
because
it's
the
way
it's
designed
as
a
chief
executive.
You
speak
for
the
Enterprise
and
it's
then
you're
accountable
to
for
what
you
were
saying.
H
Thank
you,
chair,
palmisano,
I,
think
it's
very
clear
the
reason
or
why
I
support
Johnson's
friendly
amendment
is
because
we're
talking
about
in
council
member
Payne
raised
this.
It's
very
clear
that
questions
approved
under
question
one
or
voters
approved
under
question,
one
that
the
mayor
will
hold
executive
Authority.
They
can
speak
on
that
Branch
I
do
want
to
note.
We
are
still
in
existence
in
this
new
restructure
and
there
is
consideration
of
how
that
spokesperson
role
interacts
with
the
council.
That's
why
it
raised
the
concern
around.
H
Even
you
know
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights.
We
saw
how
easy
that
could
get
blurred.
Also
I
want
to
note
these
all
of
us
sit
on
various
boards
and
committees
related
to
housing,
the
transit
to
climate
and
a
whole
host
of
other
issues
and
doesn't
name
the
mayor,
as
the
official
spokesperson
also
confuses
our
role
as
representatives
of
the
city
in
these
official
official
bodies.
So
this
is
really
again
to
help
crystallize
and
clarify
those
lines
of
authority
and
accountability
on
the
executive
side
and
also
on
the
legislative
side,
and
it
I.
H
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
think
maybe
I'm
a
little
hung
up
on
that
opinion.
Miss
Trammell,
because
when
I
think
of
the
Federal
level,
I
think
of
the
executive
branches
containing
you
know,
HUD
and
containing
the
Department
of
Defense
and
containing
all
the
different
departments
and
really
the
the
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
and
so
I
think
that's
fair
to
say
too
at
a
state
level
and
so
I
guess.
J
The
distinction
to
me
between
executive
branch
and
city
is
probably
the
legislative
branch
and
the
different
functions
there
in
like
City
auditor
and
city
clerk,
and
all
of
that
so
I
guess
is.
Is
it?
Are
you
saying
that
with
the
language
executive
branch?
What
what
does
that
entail
in
your
mind?
Does
that
not
include
the
Community
safety
office?
Does
that
not
include
public
works,
or
is
that
just
when
you're
reading
executive
branch?
Do
you
think
that
that's
just
the
mayor's
office
explicitly
or
does
it
not
include
all
of
these
other
departments?
J
F
When
you
do
a
Venn
diagram
of
the
city,
you
have
the
mayor
as
the
chief
executive,
that's
akin
to
the
governor
and
the
governor
speaks
on
behalf
of
the
whole
state
of
Minnesota.
When
he
speaks
okay,
individual
legislators
or
individual
council
members
are
still
permitted
to
speak.
We're
not
no
one
says
that
you
don't
have
a
voice,
but
you,
just
like
a
legislator,
is
elected
by
a
certain
portion
of
the
state
council.
Members
are
elected
by
certain
segments
of
the
city
and
you
represent
those
in
your
ward.
F
J
J
But
putting
that
aside,
I
guess
I'm
still
not
clear
on
what
you
think
is
excluded
by
saying
executive
branch
in
this
case,
because
would
the
mayor,
not
even
with
the
wording
executive
branch,
be
able
to
represent
the
positions,
the
operations,
the
functions
of
the
interests
of
every
Department,
essentially
that
reports
up
to
the
mayor.
F
B
Thank
you,
I'd
put
myself
in
Cuba
I'm,
going
to
take
it
out.
I
know
that
we
have
a
holiday
starting
this
evening.
The
Jewish
holiday
and
I
want
to
just
try
to
move
as
we
can
through
through
these.
We
could
opine
about
this
philosophically
for
a
long
time,
but
is
there
any
other
discussion
council
president.
G
G
Federal
Administration
allows
people
to
just
kind
of
willy-nilly
do
whatever
they
want,
because
it's
not
clearly
stated
it's
implied,
there's
implications,
there's
Traditions,
I,
I,
think
the
point
here
is
to
explicitly
State
how
our
city
is
going
to
function,
and
so
therefore
I
I
can't
support
the
the
original
motion
and
or
the
substitute
motion.
Thank
you.
B
D
A
L
B
Nays
lacking
a
majority
vote
that
Amendment
fails.
We'll
move
on
to
amendment
number
three
Ms
tremel.
Could
you
please
present
that
next
Amendment.
F
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano
amendment
number
three
by
council
member
wansley
is
to
delete
section
11.30
c,
which
relates
to
the
section
regarding
Powers
with
respect
to
city
council
and
would
delete
the
requirement
that
the
mayor
submit
for
the
council's
consideration
comprehensive
policy
which
shall
address
the
city's
physical,
economic,
social
goals
and
objectives
to
identify
relevant
policies,
plans
and
programs
to
achieve
such
policy
and
three-step
priorities
for
attaining
them.
That
would
eliminate
the
requirement
the
mayor
submit
them
to
council
for
consideration.
L
B
H
As
council
president
Jenkins
just
shared
that
it's
important
for
us
to
have
Clarity
within
this
government
restructure
again,
every
amendment
has
been-
or
at
least
brought
for
me-
has
been
rooted
in
that
desire,
and
this
amendment
is
reflective
of
that
of
wanting
to
clarify
the
lanes
for
the
executive
mayor
and
the
legislative
Council.
I
have
no
interest
and
I
would
hope.
H
One
I
think
this
will
actually
confuse
the
public
to
hear
the
mayor
discussing
policy
proposals
when
he
has
no
authority
to
create
policy.
The
task
of
the
executive
is
to
administrate
administer
the
policies
that
the
legislative
body
creates.
So
again,
let's,
if
we're
going
to
reinforce
these
Lanes
here's
another
opportunity
to
do
that.
D
M
A
G
L
L
Chair
pamasano
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate,
or
just
explain
about
why
I
actually
supported
that
amendment.
When
we
were
in
private
briefings,
we
were
actually
told
that
some
of
the
changes
we
wanted
to
make
were
not
going
to
be
applied
before
an
amendment
would
be
made
to
this
body
because
it
was
not
in
alignment
with
the
mayor's
budget.
L
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
amendment
is
specifically
not
passing.
Concerns
me
for
the
future
of
this
legislative
body,
because
it
feels
like,
as
policy
makers,
we're
going
to
be
told
that,
because
we're
not
in
alignment
with
the
mayor's
proposed
policies
that
he'll
make
with
this
garment
structure,
that
we
as
policy
makers,
can't
do
our
jobs.
So
I
just
want
to
state
that,
for
the
public
record,
I've
had
multiple
conversations
with
people
of
this
body.
I
had
conversations
in
those
private
briefings
about
my
concerns
for
this,
and
those
concerns
aren't
being
met
with
this.
B
Thank
you,
council
member
Chavez
I
appreciate
your
comments,
but
I
don't
fully
follow
them
as
to
why
the
budget,
what
we
do
need
to
do
after
we're
done
with
this
Omnibus
government
structure
work
is
to
make
sure
that
our
budget
aligns
with
whatever
our.
F
Certainly
chair
palmitano
amendment
number
four
is
by
councilmember
wansley.
It
would
create
a
new
cabinet
level
office
of
racial
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
as
and
then
as
part
and
parcel
of
that
motion.
The
proposed
Department
of
racial
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging
would
necessarily
be
deleted,
as
well
as
the
language
of
the
current
ordinance
section
21.15,
which
is
regarding
the
city,
coordinator's
office,
division
of
racial
equity.
B
H
So
this
amendment
will
make
the
office
of
race
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
executive
office
alongside
the
attorneys
public
service
service
and
Community
safety.
I
think
we
all
are
aware,
and
if
we
aren't
that's
sad,
Minneapolis
has
been
consistently
ranked
amongst
the
most
racially
unequal
places
in
the
country.
That's
reflected
internally,
where
our
employees
of
color
face
unequal
and
hurtful
treatment
and
where
the
voices
of
over
50
employees
were
ignored
when
they
spoke
up
about
the
harmful
and
systematic
racist
Behavior
at
one
of
the
city's
largest
offices.
H
Elevating
the
work
of
race,
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
to
a
top
executive
office
will
mean
that
an
anti-racist
and
Equity
lands
is
applied
to
every
single
thing
that
the
city
does
the
same
way
that
our
City
Attorney
office
touches
all
of
our
policies,
projects
and
services
to
ensure
that
they
are
doing
these
things
in
legal
compliance.
Our
new
re
IB
office
will
have
the
role
of
keeping
our
entire
Enterprise
in
line
with
the
issues
of
race
and
Equity.
It's
abundantly
clear
that
we
need
this
perspective
brought
into
every
single
aspect
of
the
city's
functioning.
H
If
we
really
want
to
change
the
course
of
action
from
our
current
cities
history.
Currently,
the
office
is
quite
small
and
the
presentation
that
we
got
back
in
July
from
our
race
and
Equity
division
shows
that
elevating
and
expanding
the
race
and
Equity
team
is
crucial
for
bringing
Minneapolis
in
line
with
cities
who
are
making
Headway
on
addressing
racism
and
inequity.
Elevating
the
office
is
a
crucial
first
step
for
a
city
that
again
has
some
of
the
worst
racial
disparities
in
the
country.
H
B
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this
proposed
amendment
council,
member
Ellison.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'm
gonna
seek
to
arm
an
attempt
to
save
the
council
a
little
bit
of
time.
If,
if
possible
and
I'll,
ask
the
clerk
for
a
little
bit
of
support
on
this
I
know
that
councilmember
wansley's
proposal
that's
before
us
and
my
proposal,
the
5A
version
of
it
are
quite
similar.
N
They
overlap
to
to
a
significant
extent,
with
exception
of
the
addition
of
OPI
as
a
department
under
under
the
office
that
councilmember
wansley's,
proposing
that
we
create
here,
and
so
for
the
sake
of
time
and
to
to
save
us,
taking
two
separate
roll
call
votes.
I'll
ask
my
colleague
councilmember
wansley.
If
she
would
accept
as
a
friendly
Amendment,
the
the
councilmember
I
see,
Casey
Carl
is
is
jumping
in
to
to
correct
any
any
errors
in
my
shortcut
here.
E
Madam
Madam
chair:
if
what
council
member
Allison
is
proposing,
he
is
correct
that
his
proposal,
5A
mirrors
all
of
the
language
from
the
current
pending
motion
by
councilmember
wansley,
and
adds
there
too.
E
So
his
motion
would
be
dependent
upon
the
proposal
of
elevating
race,
Equity
inclusion
of
belonging
to
an
executive
level
office,
an
orange
box
as
we've
referred
to
them,
but
adds
a
reporting
Department
under
it.
The
office
of
I,
believe
performance
measurement
or
whatever
it's
titled
on
the
amendment.
So
if
the
council
wishes
I
would
say,
probably
the
better
thing
is
for
wansley
to
withdraw
her
Amendment
and
immediately
put
the
amendment
that
Ellison
has
listed
as
5A
in
front.
It
contains
the
entire
length
of
the
wansley
amendment,
that's
in
front
of
us
now.
N
I
would
certainly
invite
councilmember
wansley
as
a
co-author
on
the
on
the
on
the
amendment.
If
that's
the
direction
we
choose
to
choose
to
go,
but
it's
it's
identical
to
with
exception
of
a
few,
so
I
thought
I'd
spare
us
two
roll
call
votes
and
and
see
if
we
could
take
this
up,
as
as
as
one
item.
B
E
Subbing
the
Motion
makes
5A
in
front
of
the
council,
and
so
it's
easier
to
withdraw
one
and
add
the
main
proposal.
So
there's
no
confusion.
Technically
a
substitute
has
to
be
voted
on
before
then
you
vote
on
the
underlying
proposal.
So
it's
easier
to
just
withdraw
and
put
the
5A
in
front
of
us
foreign.
E
H
E
N
That's
fine,
you
know.
Yeah
I
was
trying
to
save
us
a
role
of
two
roll
calls,
but
we
can
take
two.
But
yes,
that's
I,
think
that
gets
us
to
the
same
destination.
Okay,.
B
So
then
I
will
offer
that
council
member
Ellison
chooses
to
substitute
Amendment
5A
in
place
of
council
member
wansley's
Amendment.
Four,
yes,
is
there
a
second
I
assume
council,
member
wansley,
yes
and
then
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role
on
that
substitute.
Oh.
M
K
K
G
N
N
You
know
not
sure
if,
if
that's
the
best
move,
but
through
some
conversations
through
cut
with
colleagues
and
and
and
and
and
through
some
of
the
presentations
that
we
received,
I
think
I
was
really
won
over
by
this
proposal
and
and
and
thought
that
race
Equity
should
be
elevated
to
an
executive
level
office.
N
There
was
some
pushback,
you
know,
I
think
some
feedback
in
the
realm
of
well,
it's
a
small
office.
It
doesn't
host
a
lot
of
departments
and
we
also
learned
in
one
of
our
presentations
how
the
department
of
OPI
office,
the
office
of
performance
and
Innovation
would.
It
would
essentially
have
to
jettison
its
Innovation
function
if
it
was
to
move
over
as
written
on
onto
the
legislative
side,
and
so
I
felt
like
this
was
a
an
opportunity
for
us
to
solve.
N
Maybe
two
problems
to
elevate
risk
Equity
to
a
level
where
we
can
be
addressing
it.
As
a
city,
both
as
an
internal
service
but
also
as
a
service
that
we
provide
to
our
neighborhoods
and
to
have
Innovation
and
I
would
hope
that
we
would
agree
that
race
Equity
would
be
a
basic
function
and
sort
of
a
a
definition
of
innovation
as
a
department
underneath
I
felt,
like
both
offices
could
achieve
their
work.
N
I
know
that
there
were
some
early
conversations
in
government
structure
that
moved
OPI
over
to
the
legislative
side,
but
first
my
colleagues
who
weren't
present
at
that
presentation.
We
learned
in
real
time
that
they
would
be
that
their
that
their
work
would
essentially
be
reduced
to
Performance
measurement.
Only
and
not
Innovation
and
I.
Think
about
what
they've
offered
as
a
part
of
the
Innovation
portion
of
their
mission
and-
and
you
know,
obviously,
the
the
the
canopy
contract.
N
The
the
the
the
public
health
response
that
we've
now
integrated
into
9-1-1
is
a
part
of
the
Innovation
that
the
office
has
to
offer
same
with.
The
911
study
was
something
that
they
did
and
the
office
of
innovation,
while
being
tasked
with
overseeing
a
lot
of
projects
having
to
do
with
Public
Safety
could
actually
engage
in
other
topics
other
than
public
safety.
N
They
could
engage
in
in
you
know,
Innovation
around
housing,
Innovation
around
Economic,
Development
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
so
I
felt
like
it
would
be
a
real
loss
for
the
city
to
to
lose
the
Innovation
function
of
that
office.
I
do
feel
like
the
proposal.
N
All
the
proposals
were
done
in
good
faith
and
and
could
work
to
an
extent,
but
this
seemed
like
an
appropriate
way
for
us
to
Elevate
the
work
of
one
office
to
to
a
degree
that
the
mayor
really
has
to
reckon
with
it
and
and
oversee
it,
and
allow
OPI
to
engage
in
in
an
innovation
function
with
a
really
strong
race,
Equity
lens.
So
that's
that's
the
Crux
of
the
of
the
amendment
and
why
I
felt
like
it
was
appropriate
to
add
it
here.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
O
Thank
you,
chair,
palmisano,
I'll,
start
by
saying
that
when
we
first
started
going
through
this
process,
I
really
felt
bad.
That
Health
was
getting
lost
in
this
process
and
I
reached
out
to
staff
and
I've
had
many
many
conversations
about
how
we
could
have
made
Health
in
Orange
Box,
and
it
just
made
more
sense
after
those
conversations
that
health
is
where
it
is
now,
I
mean
we
have
the
oldest
Health
Department
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
I
saw
that,
as
you
know,
a
part
of
who
should
be
reporting
to
the
mayor.
O
But
after
many
conversations,
I
still
I
understood
why
Health
was
there
and
so
I
I'm,
having
a
hard
time
understanding
why
we
are
trying
to
make
race
Equity
Orange
Box
I
mean
it's
very
clear.
What
the
role
of
these
executive
positions,
meaning
these
orange
boxes,
are
their
political
appointees
that
make
up
the
mayor's
cabinet.
O
They
are
pointed
to
ensure
the
vision
of
the
mayor
is
executed,
whereas
the
department
heads
role
is
to
ensure
the
work
of
the
city
is
executed,
limiting
the
political
appointment
process
to
just
three
offices,
which
are
Community
safety
public
service,
and
the
attorney
enables
the
Enterprise
to
secure
professional
Administration
that
is
permanent.
That
is
consistent
and
enduring
beyond
the
changes
of
our
elected
offices.
The
executive
positions
act
as
a
buffer
between
the
political
and
the
professional
roles,
adding
a
more
quasi-political
role
that
takes
away
from
the
work
of
professional
staff.
O
It
is
great
that
this
mayor
has
chosen
to
conduct
a
robust
search
process
for
his
executive
cabinet,
but
we
don't
know
anything
beyond
this
mayor
and
this
cabinet,
not
every
mayor
is
going
to
conduct
National
searches
that
include
council
members,
so
we
as
the
council,
should
not
restrict
our
ability
to
have
a
say
in
the
search
process
by
expanding
the
mayor's
cabinet.
We
are
building
something
today
that
is
meant
to
outlast
each
and
every
one
of
us,
no
matter
who
the
Mary
is
or
who
sits
on
the
council.
O
This
is
a
moment
for
all
of
us.
This
is
an
incredible
moment
for
all
of
us.
The
people
ask
for
this
and
I
think
it
does
us
well
to
get
this
right.
Thank
you.
J
You,
madam
chair,
so
it's
kind
of
two
things
now
right,
elevating
this
particular
office
into
one
of
the
orange
boxes
or
cabinet
level,
and
then
this
question
about
OPI,
so
first
I'll
mention
with
OPI
absolutely
support
moving
them
into
the
executive
branch
out
of
legislative
I.
Think
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
more
impact
on
that
side
of
things
and
I
noticed
that
that's
also
in
5B
Amendment
5B.
In
terms
of
elevating
the
office
of
race,
Equity
inclusion
up
into
cabinet
level,
I,
don't
support
that.
J
The
reason
why
I
don't
support
that
I
think
it's
a
great
intent,
I
understand
the
reasoning
behind
it
where
I
have
concerns
is
that
the
evidence-based
research
in
terms
of
management
practices
really
suggests
where
you
put
these
boundaries
matters
a
lot
and
by
having
it
be
its
own
cabinet
level
position.
My
concern
is:
there's
going
to
be
that
loss
of
accountability
within
the
Public
Services
side
of
the
branch
in
order
to
actually
Implement
and
do
that
work
there
still
will
be
a
hopefully
if
it
if
it
does
become
cabinet
level.
J
The
mayor,
whoever's
mayor
at
the
time,
will
push
for
these
other
cabinet
level
positions
to
do
that,
work
to
integrate
it,
but
they
won't
be
directly
responsible.
Specifically,
the
city's
operation
officer
won't
be
directly
responsible
for
that.
In
the
same
way,
they
would
if
this
was
a
office
or
a
team
or
Department
under
their
purview
in
their
jurisdiction,
in
order
to
integrate
it
all
throughout
their
side
of
the
branch
as
well.
It
aligns
with
a
lot
of
the
internal
service
deliveries
as
well
a
little
bit
different
than
some
of
the
others.
J
I.T
they're
dropping
off
a
computer,
perhaps
they're
connecting
up
your
your
cable,
so
there's
the
physical
side,
but
they
also
do
Consulting,
and
it's
very
similar
in
that
way
as
well.
As
you
see
the
role
in
terms
of
helping
these
other
departments
align
with
the
policies
and
the
strategies
and
actually
improve
the
way
that
they're
doing
the
Race
equity
inclusion,
racial
equity
and
inclusion
and
belonging
work
as
well.
So
you
know
I
think.
J
The
key
thing,
though,
for
me,
is
that
boundary
element
of
it
I
would
hope
that
if
it
ends
up
getting
up
to
a
cabinet
level
that
you
would
see
the
mayor
whoever's
mayor
at
the
at
any
given
time
call
in
you
know
each
cabinet
level
leader
and
bring
them
all
together
and
say
what
are
we
doing
this
week?
How
are
we
going
to
continue
to
improve
our
work
and
have
them
working
together?
J
I
think
the
reality
is,
if
this
is
elevated
up
to
cabinet
level
is
kind
of
a
bit
of
one
of
these
things
is
not
like.
The
other.
You've
got
two
cabinets
cabinet
level
offices
that
have
you
know
nearly
2
000
employees
each
and
then
this
would
be
a
seven
person
and
obviously
there's
the
City
attorney,
which
is
kind
of
its
own
special
case.
J
But
I
could
end
up
really
seeing
that,
depending
on
whoever
is
Mayor,
this
work
could
end
up,
resulting
in
that
office
being
isolated
as
well,
which
is
something
I
would
not
like
to
see
happen,
because
the
work
is
very
important.
So
those
are
my
thoughts
on
it
and
I
really
think
that
Amendment
5B
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
move
OPI
over
to
the
executive
branch.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
So
this
is
the
amendment
that
made
me
decide
to
remove.
My
motion
and
I've
long
spoke
to
the
desire
to
have
this
function
of
measuring
the
performance
and
outcomes
that
we're
delivering
as
a
government
and
marrying
that,
with
our
capacity
to
close
the
gaps
in
those
outcomes.
D
From
what
our
stated
values,
goals,
aspirations
are
and
I
believe
that
that
function
could
exist
on
the
legislative
side
and
I
believed
it
could
be
a
you
know,
a
third
wing
of
the
legislative
side,
our
attorneys,
given
guidance
that
that
would
require
a
charter
change
and
so
I
adjusted
to
accepting
it
to
be
a
part
of
the
audit
function.
And
then
our
attorneys
gave
us
guidance
that
you
can't
have
that
measurement
and
Innovation
tied
together
as
a
cohesive
capability
on
the
legislative
side.
So
I
still
believe
that
this
should
still
be
tied
together.
D
I
still
think
that
having
it
be
responsive
to
the
legislation
is
important
and
I
think
that
elevating
racial,
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
puts
it
in
that
right,
balanced
place
of
having
a
level
of
independence
from
the
direct
influence
of
operating
departments
while
having
a
level
of
positionality
that
allows
this
group
to
navigate
all
departments
and
speaking
to
the
concerns
of
whether
or
not
this
topic
is
taken
seriously
and
accountability,
I
think
having
racial
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
living,
you
know,
as
a
layer
of
underneath
management
within
the
bureaucracy,
allows
that
work
to
in
some
ways
not
have
to
go
through
the
day-to-day
politics
of
being
tied
to
the
administration
directly.
D
There
should
be
some
political
consequences
to
that
and
if
this
exists
as
a
department
within
the
broader
Office
of
Public
Service,
if
a
mayor
doesn't
want
to
take
this
topic
seriously
and
they're,
appointing
the
city,
operations,
officer
and
I'm
speaking
from
experience
as
somebody
who's
worked
on
this
team,
where
at
times
the
work
of
the
team
wasn't
taken
seriously,
it
was
quite
easy
to
diminish
that
work
and
reduce
the
impact
of
that
work.
D
So
if
my,
if
a
mayor
and
some
future
Administration
doesn't
see
racial
Equity
as
an
important
enough
topic
to
dedicate
resources
to
it
and
make
sure
that
the
institution
is
held
accountable
to
its
goals,
the
public
should
know
about
that
and
be
able
to
have
some
remedy
to
it.
And
that's
why
I
support
this
amendment.
K
Oh,
thank
you.
Vice
president,
racial
Equity,
commissioner.
Thinking
about
this
is
what
council,
member
fit
I'll
say
still
going
to
be
a
politically
appointed
still
going
to
report
this
to
the
mayor
and
my
experience
with
moving
departments
around
without
much
consideration
hasn't
really
been
a
good
experience.
K
I've
spent
much
of
my
time
last
two
years
listening
frustration
of
how
we
move
our
crime
prevention
specialist
and
how
that
moved
to
impact
their
work
in
the
Departments
they
want
in
additionally,
I
want
to
take
some
time
to
discuss
and
include
civil
rights.
Any
of
these
proposals
about
the
race
inequity
in
our
policy
in
our
policy
in
the
city,
our
departments
and
race
and
equities,
is
specifically
focused
on
internal
City
operations.
K
The
Civil
Rights
department
is
focused
on
out
of
things
that
are
going
in
the
city,
but
they
have
to
complement
each
other
and
reinforce
one
another.
K
Five
e
or
five
five,
a
whichever
that
would
I
I,
have
a
very
unclear
understanding
and
getting
the
argument
to
kind
of
putting
this
up
there
and
creating
commissioner
with
the
orange
box.
Thank
you.
H
Yes,
I
just
want
to
do
some
level
setting
about
the
amendment
in
terms
of
the
consideration
around
where
this
came
from
its
goals
and
the
outcomes
of
it,
because
I've
heard
some
of
those
questions
come
up
now.
The
reason
why
we're
bringing
this
forward
as
a
recommendation
for
our
Orange
Box,
it's
quite
simple.
The
City
of
Minneapolis
is
racist.
We
literally
have
the
person
the
individual
who
authored
the
amendment
that
declared
racism
as
a
public
health.
We
have
council
president
Jenkins
who
recognized
that
and
was
responsive
to
that.
H
H
We
are
not
doing
a
good
job
when
it
comes
through
racial
outcomes,
and
this
department
is
responsive
to
that.
It's
also
very
clear
in
delivering
racial
Equity
or
administering
it.
The
executive
office
is
a
far
cry
from
being
successful
in
that
work
and
here's
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
say
here's
some
help
and
help
from
the
the
brightest
and
the
most
brilliant,
and
this
actually
is
a
response
to
you,
council,
member
Johnson.
H
In
terms
of
how
this
will
work,
we
literally
had
our
black
staff,
who
are
leading
race
and
equity,
who
we
brought
over
from
Bloomington
this
past
July
gave
a
comprehensive
presentation
of
how
they
is
did
exactly
this
they've
worked
at
an
executive
level
and
they
named
more
than
20
cities
that
have
executive
race
and
Equity
belonging
offices
that
are
exactly
doing
this
work
and
how
that
touches
the
entire
landscape
of
those
respective
City
Enterprises.
So
it's
not
just
isolated
to
the
executive
side,
and
we
all
know
this.
H
We
know
with
issues
around
Public
Safety
under
the
office
of
community
safety.
We
know
that
whatever
gets
decided
under
that,
we
still
have
the
ability
to
connect
with
Dr
Cedric
Alexander
about
how
we're
going
to
like
mediate.
Some
of
the
issues
around
Public,
Safety
Alternatives,
as
well
as
our
armed
police,
so
I,
do
want
to
note
and
I'm
responding
directly.
It's
not
I,
see
council
member
Johnson.
You
raised
the
point
about
decorum
I'm,
responding
to
concerns
directly
and
that's
not
an
issue
of
being
disrespectful.
H
That's
responding
to
the
concerns
that
were
brought
up
directly,
so
I
want
to
note
again.
Our
staff,
black
and
brown
staff
said
that
this
is
the
best
way
forward
in
other
cities
are
doing
this
work.
I
also
want
to
raise
the
last
Point
around
councilmember
Osmond's
question
you
mentioned
around
race
and
equities
charge
right
now
is
really
focused
internally
earlier
this
year
you
will
recall
that
one
of
our
trainings,
we
review
the
Strategic
race
and
Equity
plan.
That's
a
plan
that
we
adopted
around
race
and
Equity
priorities.
H
That's
not
just
relegated
to
our
internal
divisions
that
shapes
how
we
administer
services
or
policies
on
behalf
of
the
entire
city.
That
S3
plan
is
broken
up
by
ZIP
codes.
It's
supposed
to
support
even
the
implementation
of
new
initiatives
in
our
communities
to
address
racial
inequality,
so
race
and
Equity
is
not
charged,
which
is
solely
doing
internal
work.
They
and
we
already
have
policies
in
place.
H
That's
guiding
that
external
work
and
all
of
this
helps
support
to
elevate
them
up
where
they
need
to
be
and
where
they
should
be
keeping
them
as
a
department
is
a
disservice.
It's
crumbs,
because
we
know,
as
a
city
all
of
us
know
collectively
that
we
are
not
good
in
a
racial
place
and
have
done
harmful
things
on
racial
basices
on
into
our
constituents,
and
it's
very
clear,
I'm,
sorry,
councilmember
Goodman,
if
I'm
interrupting
you
but
I'm
speaking,
but
it's
very
clear.
We
need
this.
O
Thank
you,
chair,
palmisano
I
just
wanted
to
share
now
some
of
the
reasons
why
I
support
race
Equity
remain
in
a
department.
You
know
this
is
new
to
me
I'm
in
my
what
is
this
10th
month
now
and
I've
learned
a
lot
about
this
department,
it's
a
newer
department
for
the
city
and
I'm
expecting
to
learn
more,
but
there
are
many
reasons
why
race,
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging
has
been
elevated
to
the
full
Department
level.
Their
important
work
needs
to
stretch
across
the
Enterprise
and
not
be
limited
to
one
Department.
O
It's
everyone's
responsibility
to
do
the
work
of
advanced
and
race
Equity,
not
just
one
department
or
division
elevating
race
Equity
also
allows
for
a
properly
staffed
and
positioned
Department
to
lead
and
assist
all
departments
and
All
City
staff.
In
this
effort,
countless
hours
of
research
and
consideration
went
into
developing
the
framework
of
this
new
structure
by
City
staff.
The
administration
and
the
volunteer
work
group
compromise
of
leaders
from
Minneapolis,
public,
private
and
non-profits
non-profit
sectors
that
consideration
included
months
working
with
council
members
to
build
out
their
proposals
for
both
the
executive
and
legislative
sides.
O
We
are
ensuring
that
race,
Equity
work
is
done
throughout
the
entire
city,
Enterprise,
not
simply
orbiting
other
departments,
The
Proposal
before
you
regulates
race,
equity
and
belonging
to
an
island
unto
itself
without
the
proper
resources
and
supports
built
into
the
office
of
Public
Service.
What
the
what
the
proposal
before
us
today
does
is
cosmetic
moving
a
box
higher
on
the
org
chart
might
look
good,
but
it
won't
do
good
if
we
as
a
city
are
seriously
invested
in
the
long-term
health
and
success
of
this
work
and
I
believe
that
all
of
us
are.
O
Then
we
need
to
ensure
that
race,
equity
and
belonging
position
in
the
new
structure
sets
the
stage
for
a
durable,
sustainable
and
professional
Department.
Our
commitment
to
racial
Equity
work
includes
eliminating
barriers
and
gaps
between
races,
but
it
also,
but
it's
also
more
than
that.
It's
about
increasing
success
for
all
groups
in
every
facet
in
the
city's
work.
Installing
the
effort
in
the
office
of
public
service
is
the
first
step
in
building
that
success.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
had
a
quick
question
for
Miss
Trammell.
If
you
had
a
were
able
to
so
when
I
read
the
amendment
packet,
I
thought
I
saw
that
in
both
5A
and
5B
that
the
function
of
performance
measurement
and
valuation
was
struck
from
the
office
of
the
city
auditor
is.
Is
that
correct.
F
Yes,
chair
palmisano
and
member
Koski.
That
is
correct
that
at
that
time,
that
was
expressed
to
me
in
drafting
these
that
they
would
want
to
remove
that
third
division
from
the
audit
City
auditor
office.
So
the
city
auditor
office
would
be
changed
to
two
divisions:
okay,.
I
Thank
you
and
then
what
what
does
striking
this
section
do
and
how
and
can
you
speak
to
whether
or
not
this
affects
the
city
council's
ability
to
provide
oversight
which
is
one
of
our
core
functions?
If
Performance,
Management
and
evaluation
isn't
named
a
role
and
responsibility
under
the
legislative
branch.
F
Yes,
member
Husky
and
members
of
the
committee,
if
you
look
at
the
ordinance
as
drafted
for
the
office
of
the
city
auditor,
it
still
continues
to
read
that
it
shall
provide
independent,
objective
assurance
and
consulting
services
to
evaluate
and
improve
the
effectiveness
of
the
city's
operations.
F
So
it
still
has
that
function
of
oversight,
but
it
does
not
have
a
division
dedicated
to
that
and
it's
also
included
in
audit
and
Assurance
division
and
the
legislative
and
fiscal
analysis
division
as
well,
specifically
in
the
legislative
and
fiscal
analysis.
Section
provides
professional
nonpartisan
research,
analytical
consulting
services
to
the
city
council
and
its
committees
in
the
performance
of
legislative
policy
making
and
oversight
functions,
so
those
functions
are
still
there.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
feel
like
we're
getting
lost
in
kind
of
some
of
the
more
technical
considerations
here
and
I
just
want
to
elevate
the
Simplicity
of
this
concept,
we're
as
an
institution
we're
going
to
take
racial,
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
seriously
and
we're
going
to
Resource
it
or
we're
not
going
to
do
that.
So
it's
our
determination
how
serious
we
want.
We
want
to
take
this
topic
and
it's
our
determination
on
how
much
we
want
to
Resource
it.
One
of
the
things
now
getting
into
technical
matters.
D
That
has
been
a
very
clear
boundary
that
our
attorney's
office
has
drawn
for
us,
and
so,
while
we
can
create
departments,
we
can't
specify
what
divisions
ought
to
exist
within
those
departments,
and
so,
if
we
as
a
body
want
to
have
our
hand
and
influence
on
the
work
of
racial,
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
it's
an
executive
level
that
we
have
a
say
in
appointing
the
leader
of
that
position
and
we
need
to
have
the
capacity
to
define
the
the
operating
departments
within
that
Division.
D
And
we
need
to
stop
talking
about
this
as
a
seven
person
team
and
start
talking
about
it
as
infrastructure
in
our
in
our
in
our
system
of
government
and
there's
nothing
that
would
prevent
us
from
having
this
be
a
executive
office
that
has
multiple
departments
in
it.
Where
appropriate.
It
could
be
argued
that
HR
should
be
an
important
component
of
this
department.
D
It
could
be
argued
that
arts
and
culture
could
be
an
important
component
of
this
of
of
this
function
within
our
city
and
that's
for
us
to
decide
and
to
determine
today
through
these
amendments,
if
we
relegate
it
to
strictly
a
department
underneath
the
COO
within
the
office
of
public
service,
we
are
relinquishing
our
control
and
influence
over
that
body
of
work
to
an
extent
we
are.
We
are
delegating
that
work
to
the
CEO
and
we
our
influence,
is
going
to
be
mediated
through
our
appointment
of
a
COO.
D
So
one
of
the
benefits
of
having
this
elevated
to
an
executive
function
is,
it
gives
us,
as
a
body
more
capacity
to
define
the
mission
more
capacity
to
specify
the
resources
and
where
those
resources
should
be
allocated
at
a
department
by
Department
level,
because
we
can't
Define
resource
allocation
down
to
the
division
level,
and
it
makes
us
have
to
own
the
outcomes
of
what
this
work
is
in
a
way
that
we
don't
own.
The
outcomes
of
the
work
of
the
COO
beyond
the
appointment
of
the
CEO.
B
G
You,
madam
chair
I,
I,
do
just
want
to
iterate
for
the
public
that
this
conversation
of
whether
or
not
to
elevate
the
division
of
race
and
Equity.
It
is
being
elevated
in
this
proposed
government
structure
to
a
department
level,
which
is
highlight
the
importance
of
the
work,
the
ability
to
address
the
deep
inequities
in
our
City
in
our
culture
and
Society
I
I
could
go
on
about
so
many
other
topics,
but
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
we
are
elevating
this
division
with
whatever
action
we
take
today.
L
P
A
A
B
F
Chair
palmisano,
the
amendment
5B
is
a
motion
by
council
member
Ellison
to
create
a
Performance,
Management
and
Innovation
Department.
It
would
report
to
the
chief
operations
officer
in
the
Office
of
Public
Service.
It
would
also
delete
the
division
of
performance
measurement
from
the
office
of
the
city
auditor.
N
I'll
be
brief
because
I
covered
it
in
the
previous
Amendment.
This
is
an
alternative.
You
know
obviously
I
thought
5A
would
be
my
preference,
but
but
5B
is
an
alternative
that
I'm
proposing
to
move
to
make
sure
that
the
city
can
maintain
an
innovation
function
with
within
within
the
Enterprise.
You
know,
we've
been
told
and
I
I,
you
know,
I
would
defer
any
questions
to
to
these
attorney's
office.
N
Says
I,
don't
know
the
details
of
why
Innovation
can
exist
on
the
legislative
side,
but
I
think
that
we've
been
advised
that
it
can't
exist
on
the
legislative
side
that,
if
nothing
else,
it's
impractical
and
so
me
feeling
that
that's
a
really
important
part
of
what
the
city
does
and
what
OPI
does
I
thought
that
it
would
be
appropriate
to
move
them
back
over
to
the
the
executive
side.
N
I
still
think
that
you
know,
obviously
we're
going
to
need
performance
management,
we're
going
to
need
performance
measurement.
Sorry
in
audit
and
I
think
that
those
are
conversations
that
we
can
continue
to
have
throughout
the
year
and
and
certainly
during
the
budget
process.
But
if
this
felt
like
an
appropriate
move
to
allow
OPI
to
continue
its
work,
to
allow
its
work
to
expand
and
to
allow
and
to
allow
Innovation
Contin
to
continue
to
be
a
part
of
how
we
function
as
a
city.
So
that's
why
I'm?
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
Johnson.
Could
you
please
for
a
second
his
motion.
J
And
then
I
would
love
to
second
that
motion
and
I'll
just
I'll,
be
super
brief,
but
I
just
really
hope.
My
colleagues
support
this.
This
is
really
important,
critical
work.
It
has
a
lot
of
value
across
the
Enterprise
we've
seen
this
team
working
pretty
heavily
in
public
safety,
but
really
even
our
presentation
around
their
dashboarding
work
and
all
the
work
they're
doing
for
other
departments
and
even
conversations
like,
for
instance,
between
OPI
and
Public
Works,
how
they
can
lend
their
expertise
to
other
departments
is
really
exciting.
B
L
P
M
K
G
C
C
B
Nays
that
motion
carries
and
that
amendment
is
approved
now
we're
moving
on
to
amendment
number
seven
and
I'll
ask
Miss
Trammell
to
please
go
through
council
member
wansley's
amendment
number
seven.
F
Your
chair,
promisano
councilmember
rosace
motion,
which
is
entitled
amendment
number
seven,
removes
the
executive
officer's
abilities
to
appoint
the
heads
of
the
administrative
departments
that
report
to
them.
F
So
by
this
motion,
all
department
heads
on
the
executive
side,
though
those
boxes
that
are
clear
without
lines,
would
be
nominated
and
appointed
by
the
mayor
with
the
consent
of
the
city
council,
as
that
that
involves
a
number
of
changes
throughout
the
Omnibus
ordinance,
including
striking
1220
e
and
1230e,
which
have
to
do
with
the
ability
of
those
executive
officers
to
make
those
department
head
appointments
when
not
otherwise
currently
prohibited
by
Charter.
F
And
then
it
also
would
indicate
in
the
department
head
section
12
110,
which
is
the
first
section
of
the
administrative
article
that
the
department
heads
are
not
appointed
in
that
manner
that
they
are
nominated
and
appointed
by
the
mayor
with
the
consent
of
council.
And
then
it
goes
through
each
of
the
Departments
that
are
currently
not
appointed
by
the
mayor
with
consent
of
counsel.
F
So
if
you
look
at
this
Orange
Box,
there
are
a
number
of
them
that
have
tabs
next
to
them
and
the
difference
between
having
a
tab
or
not
having
a
tab.
Just
is
whether
or
not
you
are
currently
required,
as
a
department
head
to
be
appointed
by
the
mayor
with
the
consentive
council
or
just
appointed
by
the
city
coordinator
or
some
other
appointment
by
the
mayor,
and
that
language
then
is
reflected
in
all
these
departments
that
currently
don't
require
consent
by
Council.
It
would
now
require
consent
by
Council.
B
H
So
this
amendment
will
standardize
the
process
for
appointing
department
heads
so
that
every
appointment
has
the
same
process,
which
is
mirror
points.
Council
approves,
as
per
all
of
my
amendments,
thus
far
it's
contributing
to
a
healthy
checks
and
balances
that
is
good
for
democracy
and
improves
our
level
of
standardization,
which
is
also
good
for
transparency.
H
I
am
aware
that
you
know
this
morning,
our
interim
HR
Director
email
city
council,
expressing
concerns
that
adding
public
hearings
would
discourage
applicants
who
see
or
would
see
it
as
an
additional
hurdle
or
barrier
to
the
position
that
they're
interested
in
and
I
will
say.
I
think
that
if
applicants
Fear
public
accountability,
then
frankly
they
probably
are
not
a
good
fit
for
our
city.
At
this
moment.
Additionally,
I
want
to
remind
our
colleagues
that
our
public
hearings
of
went
through
a
whole
host
of
ranges.
H
We've
had
some
that
were
long
and
contentious,
but
we
also
had
some
like
our
most
recent
for
our
incoming
City
attorney
that
were
pretty
brief
and
pleasant.
I
know.
I've
also
heard
my
colleagues
raise
concerns
about
the
additional
work
that
this
would
create
for
the
council,
clerks
and
administrative
staff.
H
Luckily,
you
know
this
government
restructure
is
also
taking
place
while
we're
doing
our
budget
discussion.
So
if
there
is
additional
Staffing
needed
to
accommodate
the
change,
we're
really
in
a
good
spot
to
do
that
with
both
this
restructure,
as
well
as
the
2023
budget.
So
that's
all.
J
Madam
chair
so
I
don't
support
this
particular
Amendment,
but
I
do
support
the
council
having
more
ability
to
appoint
than
just
these
top
level
orange
boxes.
J
So
I
know
we
are
going
to
have
some
Charter
Amendment
changes
that
are
associated
with
all
this
to
look
at,
and
currently
we
have
a
number
of
those
positions
preserved
in
Charter
that
we
still
do
the
appointments
for
and
just
as
part
of
the
negotiation
process
with
Charter
changes
is
where
I
think
that
should
take
place
around
this,
but
I
I
definitely
agree
that
it
should
be
more
than
just
the
four
boxes
or
the
three
boxes,
particularly
for
the
large
and
very
public-facing
departments
that
we
have
everything
from
police
chief
to
Public,
Works,
Public,
Health
regulatory
services
and
and
others
as
well.
J
But
you
know
I'll
just
add
into
for
some
of
these
other
offices
that
are
especially
more
internally
facing
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
be
expanding
the
nomination
process.
So
in
that
regard,
thank
you.
B
K
Member
Osmond-
oh
thank
you,
madam
vice
president
I,
do
support
some
of
I.
Believe
individuals
should
be
up
appointed
and
should
go
through
the
process,
especially
the
orange
and
the
blues
and
departments
that
have
large
employees
like
the
of
the
works
and
police
chief
and
so
on,
but
some
departments
here
you
know
art
and
culture,
and
you
know
other
departments
it
when
it
when
it
comes
to
political
appointments.
We
all
know
what
the
process
is
like.
K
It
doesn't
go
very
smooth,
it
becomes
politics,
mayor
Advocates
who
he
is
appointing
and
some
council
members
speak
against
of
that.
But
do
we
really
want
to
you
know,
push
away
the
best
of
the
brightest
people
that
can
work
our
city
and
bring
knowledge
and
experience
to
lead
the
Departments
we
have
like
the
I.T
and
the
Arts
and
departments,
and
so
many
other
departments
that
I
don't
think
those
professionals
are.
You
know
it's
very
comparative
market
and
do
they
want
to
come
and
go
through
that
hustle?
K
That
is
just
something
to
think
about.
So
I
do
I
do
support
some
of
the.
We
should
appoint.
Definitely
the
one
is
the
charter
says,
and
but
there
are
some
here
that
I
would
caution
to
to
think
about
what
are
we
putting
forward
and
making
sure,
especially
attracting
the
best
and
brightest
and
putting
through
a
political
appointment
and
and
so
on,
and
especially
the
approval
process.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
think
if
it's
okay
with
with
you
and
with
staff,
I'd,
actually
like
to
start
by
asking
just
a
couple
of
questions
of
staff
and
Miss
tremel.
If
it's
okay,
I'd
I'd
love
to
actually
ask
some
questions
of
our
of
our
internal
auditor
of
Mr,
Patrick
sitting
so
I
think
the
the
piece
about
I
think
the
the
purpose
of
this
amendment.
Q
The
way
that
I
read
it
and
understood
it
was
about
strengthening
the
the
mechanisms
and
tools
of
oversight
that
Council
has
and
when
I
think
about
oversight.
Q
I
know
that
we
have,
you
know
a
few
tools
to
to
be
able
to
do
that
function
of
our
job.
The
budget
process
asking
Department
directors
to
come
to
committee
and
then,
of
course,
the
work
that
that
audit
does
at
the
city,
so
I
I
just
am
wondering
if,
if
if
it
would
be
okay
to
ask
some
questions
here,.
Q
So
you
know
I,
guess
I'm
wondering
if
this
sort
of
of
oversight
right
the
the
the
public
hearing
and
Confirmation
process
of
a
department
director
coming
in,
is
you
know
it's
a
form
of
oversight.
It's
a
form
of
of
performance
evaluation,
I'm
wondering
if
that
form
of
work
at
the
department,
level
or
staff
level
staff
evaluation
level
is,
is
already
completed
by
or
already
performed
by
by
audit.
R
Q
Q
Yep,
that's.
That
is
my
understanding
of
what
you
do
as
well,
but
you
know
just
just
confirming
and
then
so
just
expanding
on
this
piece
of
like
can
you
can
you
speak
just
briefly
to
what
form
of
oversight,
responsibilities
or
functions
your
office
performs
in
the
Enterprise.
R
Sure
so
we
conduct
an
Enterprise
risk
assessment
each
year,
Define
what
the
key
risks
the
city
is
facing
and
then
approach
those
risks.
Looking
for
the
kind
of
control
processes
that
exist
to
prevent
those
risks
from
turning
to
reality,
and
then
we
test
whether
or
not
those
controls
are
functioning
effectively
and
if
not
provide
findings
back
to
management
on
how
perhaps
to
address
those
in
the
future.
So
it's
concerns,
risk
and
and
function
got.
Q
It
and
then
lastly,
oversight,
broadly
speaking,
is
that
a
function
of
the
audit
Committee
of
audit
generally
or
of
this
Council
as
a
body.
R
The
audit
committee
oversees
the
work
of
internal
audit,
so
it's
it's
both
accepting
the
city
auditor,
the
internal
audit
directors
risk
assessment
audit
plan.
They
they
vote
on
and
accept
the
audit
plan
as
it
stands,
they
received
the
results
of
audit
back
and
hear
from
both
management
and
the
audit
staff
on
the
results
of
those
audits.
So
that's
the
audit
committee's
roles
Define
through
that
audit,
Charter
and
in
the
charter.
Q
Thank
you
very
much,
so
that's
all
the
the
questions
that
I
have
for
for
staff,
but
you
know
I
I'm,
really
excited
to
see
this
amendment
brought
forward
and
I
think
it
really
strengthens
and
adds
a
new
tool
for
for
this
body
to
exercise
in
doing
one
of
our
Three
core
functions
as
a
body
right.
It's
we.
Q
We
we're
tasked
with
the
the
oversight,
responsibility
for
this
Enterprise
and
the
ability
to
consent
to
the
appointment
of
department
heads
as
a
part
of
us
having
oversight
as
a
body
and
and
actually
practicing
oversight
as
a
body.
In
addition
to
you
know
the
the
the
confirmation
process
of
department
heads
right,
we've
got
the
budget
process,
that's
one
place
where
we
can
do
some
of
that
oversight.
Work.
We've
got
the
work
of
the
audit
committee.
We've
got.
Q
You
know
again
having
bringing
in
department
heads
Department
directors
to
our
various
policy
committees
to
ask
them
questions
about
programs
to
talk
about
specific
policies
or
items,
but
it's
not
about
the
evaluation
of
directors
in
their
responsibilities
and
and
again
you
know,
I
I
frequently
hear
the
budget
process
is
something
that's
held
up.
As
you
know,
this
is
your
place.
This
is
your
chance
to
practice
oversight.
Q
Q
When
we
have
concerns
about
the
the
the
performance
of
a
director
or
the
the
direction
that
a
department
is
going
in
right
because
then
we
are,
we
are,
by
extension,
actually
harming
our
constituents
further
when
a
critical
service
is
taken
away
and
we're
harming
the
the
Frontline
staff
that
actually
that
that
perform
that
service
or
that
role.
Q
So
you
know
I
I've
heard
a
little
bit
and
I
I
saw
the
email
this
morning
too,
about
the
the
the
appointment
or
the
confirmation
by
Council
being
a
barrier
to
attracting
candidates,
and
you
know
I've
been
thinking
about
it
all
day,
and
this
is
a
this
is
a
public
institution.
The
work
that
we
do
as
a
city
is
about
serving
residents
of
Minneapolis
and
I.
Q
Q
You
know
one
public
hearing
and
our
our
directors
often
have
to
come
to
committee.
They
have
to
come
to
community
meetings
present
their
budgets
in
public
interface
with
residents
all
of
the
time.
Q
I
also
saw
that
that
piece
of
pushback,
being
very
anecdotal
and
and
not
based
in
fact
and
I've,
also
seen
anecdotally
plenty
of
directors
or
senior
level
staff
leave
this
institution.
You
know,
citing
work,
play
toxic
workplace
related
things,
whether
it's
racism,
gender-based
experiences
as
the
reason
they
left
the
city
and
I.
You
know
I
think
I'm
I'm
concerned
that
we
are
that
the
the
pushback
on
Council
approval
is
about
this.
Q
This,
like
the
remnants
of
this,
mean
Council
of
the
last
term
and
as
we
are
thinking
about
the
future
and
making
decisions
and
setting
up
a
government
that
is
going
to
in
a
government
structure.
That's
going
to
outlast
all
of
us,
I
think
it
we
have
to
prioritize.
Q
You
know
the
proper
checks
and
balances
that
that
allow
any
person
in
any
of
our
jobs
to
best
prioritize
the
needs
of
residents
and
ensure
that
programs
are
are
working
for
constituents
and
then
you
know,
I
know
that
at
the
state
level
right,
every
Commissioner
of
a
state
department
is
subject
to
Senate
confirmation,
and
just
you
know
by
that,
we
it
it
it's
not
a
far
reach
for
us
to
be
confirming
every
every
Department
director
and-
and
you
know,
I
I've
heard
the
concern.
I.
Think
the
first
time
today
of
you
know.
Q
Why
would
we
want
to
approve
the
director
of
HR
and
and
politicize
that
role
and
I'll
just
I'll
just
make
a
brief
case
that
as
a
former
labor
organizer
I,
just
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
the
treatment
of
our
workers
and
of
workers
in
any
workplace
is
extremely
political
work
and
in
this
workplace
we
have
a
documented
problem.
Q
As
a
city
with
the
Recruitment
and
Retention
of
Staff
of
color,
we
have
a
pervasive
problem
of
not
completing
thorough
investigations
when
workers,
but
particular
early
workers
who
are
women,
who
are
people
of
color,
who
are
queer.
Q
Trans
come
to
HR
to
file
complaints,
and
it's
these
workers
that
are
actually
the
most
likely
to
live
in
Minneapolis
HR
is
not
like
Equity
neutral
work
and
has
the
ability
and
the
power
to
be
one
of
the
largest
tools
for
equity
and
accountability
in
any
workplace,
including
this
one,
so
I
again,
I
just
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
for
us
to
to
be
approving
all
of
these
Department
directors.
G
Thank
you,
Council
vice
president
and
I
guess:
I
have
a
question
for
City
attorney:
Miss
Trammell.
G
You
noted
that
the
yellow
tabs
indicate
positions
that
are
currently
required
for
confirmation
and
I
just
want
to
clarity.
Does
those
do
those
go
away.
A
F
G
G
F
What
that's
chair
palmisano
vice
president
Jenkins,
that
those
offices
aren't
accounted
for
right
now
in
the
charter
and
they're
not
accounted
for
through
that
appointment
process,
but
it
was
recognized
that
those
are
political
appointments
that
would
require
Council
consent
and
I
believe
the
intention
moving
forward
with
the
charter
amendments
would
be
to
require
those
orange
boxes
to
be
appointed
as
the
cabinet
confirmed
by
Council.
Thank.
G
B
B
But
the
question
that
I
wanted
to
clarify,
because
it
is
something
that
I
I
heard
in
conversation
is,
it
was
said
every
every
Department
within
the
state
gets
confirmed
and
I,
don't
think
that's
actually
accurate,
and
so,
if,
if
you
don't
mind,
if
you
would
Avail
yourself
to
a
question
Ms
Anderson,
do
you
recall
how
many
heads
of
state
departments
get
confirmed?
I?
Don't
think
it
is
every
one
of
them
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
S
Vice
chair,
sorry,
vice
president
and
chair
Paul,
massano
members
of
the
council,
so
you're
getting
me
a
little
fuzzy
here,
so
the
the
governor
has
21
cabinet
seats,
all
of
which
are
essentially
they
can
serve
as
Commissioners
until
and
unless
they
are
non-confirmed
by
the
Senate.
Essentially,
so
that's
the
that's.
The
governor's
cabinet
there
are
a
smattering
of
other.
S
You
know
the
the
lottery
director,
the
gambling
Control
director,
there's
a
smattering
of
other
positions
in
state
government
that
are
appointed
by
the
governor
and
and
get
Senate
confirmation,
but
in
terms
of
the
cabinet
level,
all
of
the
cabinet
level
agencies
do
go
through
that
Senate
confirmation
process.
But
again
it's
the
way
it
works
in
the
state.
Is
that
the
the
governor
selects
the
commissioner?
They
start
their
service
right
away
and
yes,
sometimes,
the
Senate
actually
does
not
even
take
up
a
confirmation
vote.
S
B
S
That
members
of
the
council,
the
state
structure,
is
just
a
little
distinct.
The
Minnesota
statutes
15.06
declares
what
the
Departments
of
the
state
are
and
that's
like
the
department
of
management
and
budget,
the
Department
of
Education
Department
of
Transportation.
Those
are
the
cabinet
agencies.
Those
are
the
only
those
are
the
Departments
of
the
state
by
Statute,
lower
level
departments
such
as
what
you
see
in
the
city
would
not
be
recognized
really,
as
as
departments
and
state
structure,
those
would
be
more
like
divisions
within
an
agency.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
build
on
the
council
president's
question
because
I
see
in
the
so
the
summary
on
the
slide.
It
says
multiple
amendments
to
require
all
department
heads
to
be
nominated,
but
the
actual
language
in
our
packet
is,
you
know,
12.110.
D
We
have
a
sentence
that
does
specify
nomination
nominated
by
the
mayor
and
with
consent
of
city
council,
but
for
all
the
subsequent
departments.
D
We've
just
updated
that
language,
or
at
least
council
member
onesie,
just
updated,
updated
that
language
to
say,
as
provided
by
the
city
Charter,
and
so
it
seems
to
me
that
I
agree
with
councilmember
Johnson
in
that
there's
a
the
Departments
that
we
want
to
maintain
this
Council
consent
that
should
be
negotiated
in
Charter,
not
in
code,
because
Charter
is
going
to
supersede
code,
but
I'm
I'm
wondering
because
I
think
from
a
just
from
a
clerical
accuracy.
D
That
should
say
something
to
the
effect
of
you
know:
we're
not
identified
by
Charter.
You
know
it
should
be
appointed.
You
know,
can
be
appointed
by
the
clo
to
make
that
distinction
between
what
our
currently
Charter
departments
that
have
to
go
through
that
formal
confirmation
process
and
these
other
departments
which
don't
and
I
don't
have
the
word
crafting
available
in
front
of
me
right
now
to
conceive
of
that
language.
But
does
that
question
make
sense.
D
I'm,
just
looking
at
the
strikethrough
and
I,
don't
necessarily
interpret
it
that
way,
but
I
understand
that
answer.
B
D
M
C
B
Thank
you
lacking
a
majority
vote
that
Amendment
does
not
pass
moving
on
to
council
member
Ellison's
amendment
number
eight
Ms
Trammell.
Would
you
present
that
Amendment.
F
People,
yes,
thank
you,
chair,
palmasano,
councilmember,
Ellison's,
motion
number
8A
is
to
delete
section
12.330
the
neighborhood
safety
department,
by
virtue
of
deleting
this
department,
the
the
current
Provisions
related
to
office
of
violence.
Protection
within
the
Health
Department's
ordinances
would
remain
in
effect
and
there
would
be
no
new
Department
of
neighborhood
safety.
B
Thank
you.
Is
there
a
second
to
this
amendment?
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
original
intent,
which
I
was
I,
think
correctly
informed,
was
not
going
to
be
possible
by
the
clerk
and
attorneys
was
that
was
to
to
put
a
date.
Certain
I
feel
like
the
transition
from
the
health-based
approach
into
the
Department
of
Public
Safety,
which
is
a
very
emergency.
9-1-1
approach
is
a
little
sudden
and
I
do
think
that
the
department
is
struggling
to
make
the
transition.
N
You
know
I
think
that
the
clerk
and
Miss
Trammell
advised
me
that
it
would
be
that
it
wouldn't
be
advisable
to
put
a
date
certain
within
the
ordinance,
and
so
my
intent
is
to
strike
it
through
now
and
to
work
with
the
Department
on
a
timeline
in
which
it
could
transition
into
the
Department
of
Public
Safety,
where
I
do
think
it
should
ultimately
go,
but
but
ovp
and
I
know
that's
got
a
new
acronym
here,
but
ovp
is
a
young
Department.
N
It
was
created
in
2018
and
it's
been
asked
to
undergo
a
lot
of
heavy
lifts,
including
launching
a
program,
the
violence
interrupter
program,
which
usually
takes
about
18
months
for
a
city
to
stand
up
within
within
just
three
months.
It's
been
and
that's
been
its
most
high
profile
program.
Its
newest
youngest
program
has
been
its
most
high
profile
program
that
18
month
Mark.
N
If
we
would
have
waited
18
months
to
start
the
department,
we
would
have
started
it
roughly
about
a
month
ago
and
so
I
think
that
the
department
is
just
now
having
an
opportunity
to
solidify
its
programming,
solidify
its
culture
and
I
and
I
have
strong
concerns
and
I
think
that
they're
valid
concerns
that
a
transition
at
this
point
that
a
sudden
transition
here
without
a
lot
of
collaboration
with
all
the
Departments
involved,
would
equate
to
ovp
being
consumed
by
the
con
by
the
culture
of
of
emergency
response
that
exists
as
opposed
to
what
I
think
we're
all
hoping
happens,
which
is
sort
of
a
symbiotic
mix
of
the
approaches
within
the
department.
N
And
so
this
amendment
is
aimed
at
at
getting
that
as
it
stands.
It's
striking
the
language
here
so
not
to
have
some
kind
of
date
certain
in
ordinance,
but
my
intention
is
to
follow
up
with
the
Departments
and
work
on
an
appropriate
staff
Direction
in
collaboration
with
them.
That
would
lead
to
that
transition.
N
If
that
all
makes
sense,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
and
I
have
an
alternative
Amendment,
if
this
one
doesn't
Prevail
but
I'm,
hoping
that
my
colleagues
can
see
the
logic
of
it
and
support
and
support
this
amendment.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
and
discussions
with
council
member
Ellison.
One
of
the
points
that
was
highlighted
was
just
the
general
infrastructure
needed
for
some
of
these
emerging
departments
and
the
level
infrastructure
available
to
ovp
within
the
health
department
is
very
different
from
the
level
of
infrastructure.
That's
available,
I
mean
we
just
had
a
conversation
in
the
budget
about
you,
know
the
office
of
community
safety,
essentially
being
a
conference
room
and
an
unused
office
space.
Here,
that's
the
level
of
infrastructure
at
that
top
level.
D
Some
of
those
other
departments
are
very
established,
so
even
Charter
departments
such
as
police
department,
but
it
does
seem
that
ovp
you
know
for
it
to
be.
You
know.
D
A
very
strong
program
does
need
that
extra
layer
of
infrastructure
that
they
do
have,
and
you
know
there
was
early
conversation
in
the
term
around
what
a
phased
approach
to
this
integration
of
Public
Safety
would
look
like
and
I
think
that
this
feels
like
a
very
appropriate
Middle
Ground
from
where
we've
arrived,
or
we
now
have
an
office
of
community
safety
with
somewhat
of
a
Band-Aid
Rip.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know
I
I,
guess
I'm
gonna.
G
Speak
in
opposition
to
this
motion,
I
just
think
that
if
we
are
trying
to
create
a
comprehensive
Office
of
Public,
Safety
and
and
one
of
the
barriers
has
been
the
lack
of
communication
between
the
various
departments-
the
mpdf
FTD,
the
911
311
Etc-
that
we
need
to
have
all
of
those
entities
at
the
table
as
we're.
Building
the
infrastructure
or
building
out
the
conference
room
with
a
table
into
a
functioning
office.
G
I
I
think
everyone
needs
to
be
at
the
table
and
involved
in
building
that
I.
Think.
If
you
bring
the
office
of
violence
prevention
in
later,
it
actually
feeds
into
the
concerns
of
them
not
having
an
equal
voice
in
creation
of
a
Office
of
Public
Safety.
So
I
I
I,
just
don't
see
the
value
in
this
motion
today.
J
You,
madam
chair
and
I
I,
really
agree
with
council
president
on
this.
That
said
it
for
the
author
of
this
motion.
You
know
I
am
open
to
ongoing
discussions
past
today
on
this
I
won't
be
supporting
the
motion
today,
but
I
am
sympathetic
to
the
concerns
around
the
infrastructure
today,
and
so
I
would
really
like
to
talk
with
our
interim
Health,
commissioner,
about
what
transition
and
phased
approach
would
look
like
what
support
would
be
available.
J
I'd
like
to
speak
with
Dr,
commissioner
Alexander
as
well
about
his
vision
for
this
I
do
just
wholeheartedly,
though,
agree
with
council
president.
You
know
we
want
to
move
away
from
Public
Safety
being
viewed
as
purely
responding
to
emergencies
when
they
happen
and
bring
in
more
of
this
proactive
work
and
as
this
office
is
in
its
infancy
and
being
formed
and,
frankly,
the
culture
being
established,
we
want
voices
at
the
table
that
are
also
going
to
advance
the
culture
in
a
more
proactive
Upstream
way
towards
prevention
as
well.
O
So
I
know
I
just
also
agree
with
council
president
Jenkins
that
we
need
all
five
of
these
departments
to
do
this
work.
Earlier
this
year
we
heard
from
these
department
heads
who
said
that
they
work
better
together
and
so
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
fair
to
remove
the
to
remove
ovp's
work
from
this
now
with
our
new
commissioner
on
board
and
I.
O
K
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
I
won't
be
too
long,
but
I
do
agree.
Council,
president
and
I
would
say
that
you
know
moving
this
department
to
any
other
department,
it's
its
own
challenge
by
that
department
too.
If
that
is
a
Serial
operation,
if
that's
health,
this
office
should
work.
Smart
should
work
by
data
should
work
places
that
they
needed.
The
most
I
would
say
the
places
that
you
know
that
has
violence
that
individuals
that
are
in
that
in
that
area
we
need
people
that
know.
K
What's
going
on
the
place,
the
office
provision
should
be
at
and
I,
don't
know
how
City
operation
officer,
Health
Department
would
know
such
a.
K
Community
safety,
commissioner,
who
has
all
the
datas
of
especially
when
we
talk
about
crimes
when
we
talk
about
you,
know,
prevention
of
violence
and
so
on
and
I
think
this
could
help
him,
that's
Cedric
to
to
think
about
not
just
being
the
director
of
police
and
fire,
but
also
another
alternative
way
of
really
helping
our
residents
today
in
Minneapolis
with
a
non-policing
but
approaching
a
different
way
of
preventing
crimes
and
helping
our
residents
to
be
safe.
So,
yes,
thank
you
so
much.
N
I
do
want
to
appreciate
the
views
of
my
of
my
colleagues
I
and
I
and
I
think
that
in
a
perfect
world,
I
would
agree.
But
I
do
think
that
that
hope
that
throwing
these
departments
together
and
hoping
that
they
gel
and
hoping
that
all
things
are
created
equal
is
not
acknowledging
how
how
the
conversation
has
gone
thus
far,
and
it's
not
acknowledging
how
I
think
culture
is
is
ultimately
shaped.
N
The
the
the
current
commissioner
I
think
has
shown
a
tremendous
amount
of
under
a
tremendously
strong
understanding
of
Emergency
Management
of
9-1-1
of
police.
A
fire
and
I
do
think
that,
through
both
conversations
and
through
statements
made
in
interviews
that
he
is
taking
his
time
and
and
struggling
I
think
to
fully
understand
the
work,
the
Public's,
the
public
health
approach.
N
That's
not
a
failure
of
his
that's
a
matter
of
experience
and
and
all
of
that,
the
Department's
really
young,
and
it's
going
to
be
mixed
in
with
the
par
and
and
pretty
small
and
I
think
that
by
combining
it
with
departments
that
have
been
around
for
155
years,
that
have
strong
cultures
with
it,
with
a
division
had
with
a
with
an
office
head
that
understands
policing
and
fire
and
Emergency
Management
more
than
it
understands
what
it's
going
to
do,
then,
then
it
does
ovp.
N
We
risk
having
this
this
office
I
think
alienated
as
opposed
to
actually
collaborated
with.
If
we
don't
go
about
the
transition
in
a
more
deliberative
way,
and
so
what
I'm
offering
is
not
to
say
that
this
work
doesn't
belong
in
the
Office
of
Public,
Safety
I
think
what
I'm
offering
is
is
for
us
to
go
about
this
work
in
a
more
deliberative
way,
so
that
the
so
that
the
work
can
survive.
I.
N
Think
the
alternative
is
that
you
know
we
we
put
the
office
in,
we
hope
for
the
best
and
the
work
isn't
supported,
because
it's
not
understood
or
it's
misunderstood
and
we
look.
N
You
know
two
three,
four
five
years
down
the
road
and
we've
got
another
9-1-1
adjacent
response
that
no
longer
resembles
the
public
health
approach
that
it
was
supposed
to
be,
and
so
that's
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at,
not
trying
to
say
that
the
the
that
the
work
doesn't
ultimately
belong
in
public
safety,
just
trying
to
be
deliberative
about
how
we
go
about
making
that
transition
happen
and-
and
my
fear
is
that
this
way
hasn't
been
as
thought
out
and
deliberative
as
it
needs
to
be
in
order
to
ensure
that
the
work
actually
survives.
D
P
K
G
L
F
Thank
you,
chair
palmasano
motion
8B
by
LSN
would
amend
section
12330
from
the
neighborhood
safety
department,
renaming
it
the
violence
prevention
department
and
the
other
change
of
this.
The
edits
would
be
to
have
the
head
of
the
department
report
to
the
chief
operations
officer
instead
of
the
community
safety.
Commissioner,.
B
N
This
amendment
is
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
minor
difference,
probably
not
worthy
of
discussion.
It's
similar
to
the
first
one,
with
with
the
exception
that
the
first
one
would
have
kept
this
work
in
health.
This
one
does
establish
it
as
its
own
department,
but
keeps
it
under
health
and
livability
the
health
and
livability
portion
of
the
CEO,
which
is
the
that
third
arm
that
third
blue
box
there
I
think
so
so
that's
all
it
does
and
happy
to.
D
M
L
B
T
You,
madam
vice
president,
I,
just
wanted
to
note
that
today
tonight
at
sundown
starts
the
beginning
of
the
Jewish
High
holy
days
tonight.
The
first
night
is
called
kolnidre,
which
is
the
opening
of
The
Ark
and
our
opportunity
to
look
back
over
the
past
10
days
as
we've
atoned
for
our
sins
and
hope
that
all
of
our
family
and
friends
are
inscribed
in
The
Book
of
Life
for
the
coming
year.
It's
not
a
celebratory
holiday.
People
have
asked
me,
you
know.
T
T
F
F
It
would
eliminate
the
language
separate
from,
but
which
are
complementary
to
and
replace
it
with
the
language
Alternatives
too,
and
this
has
to
do
with
incorporating
their
work
into
with
with
traditional
law
enforcement
work
and
so
they're,
referring
to
them
as
alternatives
to
traditional
law
enforcement.
Work
by
this
amendment.
B
Thank
you,
I
will
second
this
amendment
and
invite
councilmemberkowski
to
go
ahead
and
speak
to
her
motion.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
original
language
included
in
the
government
structure,
implementation
or
non-states
that
the
neighborhood
safety
department
shall
incorporate
strategies
that
are
separate
from,
but
which
are
complementary
to
traditional
law
enforcement.
I
am
proposing
to
strike
the
language
strategies
that
are
separate
from
but
which
are
complementary
to
and
in
place
of
the
original
language.
I
offer.
The
proposed
language
shall
incorporate
alternatives
to
traditional
law
enforcement.
I
I
feel
that
the
original
language
separate
from
constitutes
that
the
work
of
the
neighborhood
safety
department
must
be
separate
from
traditional
law
enforcement,
whereas
the
proposed
language
alternatives
to
constitutes
that
the
work
of
the
neighborhood
safety
department
must
be
alternatives
to
traditional
law
enforcement
without
constituting
that
it
must
be
at
all
times
separate
from
the
traditional
law
enforcement.
I'll
use
an
example
to
demonstrate
the
difference
between
separate
from
and
Alternatives
too.
I
If,
at
any
point,
we
were
to
create
a
co-responder
program
with
both
the
behavioral
crisis
response
teams,
which
are
proposed
to
move
underneath
the
neighborhood
safety
department
and
traditional
law
enforcement
under
the
original
language,
it
could
be
called
into
question
whether
this
would
meet
the
standard
of
separate
from.
But
this
would
without
question
meet
the
standard
of
Alternatives
too.
Under
the
proposed
language.
I'll
also
note
that
I
understand
the
original
language
is
separate
from,
but
which
are
complementary
to.
I
However,
however,
I
believe
this
in
and
of
itself
calls
into
question
what
the
line
is
between
separate
from
and
complementary
to.
Ultimately,
while
the
difference
between
the
original
language
and
the
proposed
language
boils
down
to
a
discussion
of
semantics,
I
feel
that,
if
we're
codifying
this
in
government
structure,
the
difference
between
separate
from
and
Alternatives
does
matter.
I
I'll
also
add
that
in
connecting
with
Ward
11
constituents
and
constituents
across
City
of
Minneapolis,
I've
heard
it
here
today
on
the
diocese
when
I
hear
them
discuss,
Public
Safety
or
describe
the
services
they'd
like
to
see
as
a
part
of
the
neighborhood
safety
department.
The
language
they
use
is
alternatives
to
not
separate
from.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
Vice,
chair,
Chavez
I
will
know
I'm
struggling
to
support
this
amendment
on
the
basis
that
I
know
the
prior
Council
their
the
intentionality
behind
having
the
separate
and
we've
even
seen.
This
information
be
presented
to
us
before
our
own
staff,
especially
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
is
that
those
workers
who
go
out
and
deliver
these
Public
Safety
Services.
They
have
to
reserve
some
level
of
autonomy
in
order
to
actually
build
relationships
with
the
community
and
I.
Think.
H
It's
widely
noted
that
that
same
type
of
credibility
and
relationship
is
not
there
with
our
law
enforcers,
so
they've
named,
you
can
work
together,
but
they
do
have
to
have
that
autonomy.
It's
not
necessarily
saying
they're
going
to
be
put
on
the
island
and
I
think
this
compromises
their
ability
to
continue
doing
the
good
work
of
building
those
relationships
with
our
communities,
especially
in
communities
of
color,
because
actually,
in
the
words
of
like
mayor
fry
culture,
eats
policy
for
breakfast.
H
We
know
that
the
culture
of
our
law
enforcement
right
now
is
under
heavy
heavy
overhaul,
especially
that's
going
to
be
deepen
through
the
work
of
the
consent
decree
and
even
just
what
we
try
to
move
forward
with
council
member
Ellison's
proposal
is
saying
that
we
want
our
Alternatives.
We
want
many
of
our
workers
who
are
not
doing
this.
The
Swarm
piece
or
you
know,
Armed
work
aspects
of
our
Public
Safety
Services.
H
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
do
that
work
and
have
that
autonomy
and
not
also
have
to
risk
having
their
culture
be
compromised,
while
MPD
is
working
on
theirs
under
the
the
leadership
in
sole
Authority,
Under
mayor
and
somewhat
to
a
degree.
Commissioner
Dr
Alexander,
so
I
think
this
really
compromises
the
work
that
our
own
staff
has
said
like
we
need
that
autonomy
in
order
to
continue
doing
great
trust,
building
work
with
our
Community
Partners
and
community
members.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
I
had
not
considered
the
the
point
that
was
just
raised
by
council
member
wansley
around
around
the
the
autonomy
piece.
I
know.
That's
something.
I've
heard
our
our
previous
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
neighborhood
safety
department
reference
a
few
different
times
that
that
autonomy
from
from
law
enforcement
is
critical
to
the
relationship
building
and
then,
as
an
extension,
just
being
successful
in
their
role.
Q
I
guess,
I
I
struggle
to
understand
why
we
need
to
make
this
language
change
when
the
neighborhood
safety
department
is
going
to
be
under
the
umbrella
of
the
of
the
new
Public
Safety
Office.
So
there
are
that
that
type
of
the
whole
point
of
moving
those
five
departments
into
this
new
office
was
that
everybody
is
working
together
and
that
that
type
of
collaboration
that
you're
referencing
is
already
happening.
Q
So
I
guess
I'm
I'm
combine
that
with
the
the
employees
within
this
office,
naming
to
us
very
clearly
that
they
want
and
need
a
separation
from
traditional
law
enforcement
in
order
to
have
credibility
in
the
community
and
also
they're
kind
of
already
all
working
together
in
this
new
office
under
commissioner
Alexander.
So
I
I'm,
just
yeah
I,
wonder
if
you
can
add
a
little
bit
more
to
why
this
change.
I
Council,
member
or
thank
you,
madam
chair
today,
I
this
isn't
necessarily
saying
that
this
isn't
requiring
then
this
to
be
separate,
so
we
can
still,
but
this
allows
them
this
won't
change.
They
can
still
separate
themselves
from
the
work
that
they're
doing,
but
this
would
but
the
language
that
we
have
in
right
now.
I
believe
states
that
it's
we
crying
requiring
them
to
do
this.
I
So
in
order
to
change
this
language,
it
says
that
we
have
an
it's
an
alternative,
but
to
me,
this
language
states
that,
right
now
we
are
requiring
them
to
be
separate,
which
I
don't
feel
that
that's
what
we
mean
and,
like
I
said,
the
language
that
we
use
in
the
public
we
use
here
on
the
dice
is
that
you
know
we
use
this
language
as
this.
This
this
department
is
a
is
alternatives.
B
You
know
yesterday,
at
our
Minnesota
heels
meeting,
which
some
of
my
other
colleagues
participated
in,
we
got
a
lengthy
presentation
about
what
other
cities
around
the
metro
area
are
doing
in
response
in
to
respond
differently
to
mental
health
is
the
most
important
issue
in
our
state
right
now
and
what
they
spoke
about
in
Mass
was
about
embedding
co-responders
in
their
police
departments
and
while
I
know
that
decisions
were
made
in
the
past
few
years
to
remove
that
response,
and
instead
do
it,
go
It,
Alone,
Behavioral,
Health,
crisis
team
response.
B
I
do
see
that
sometime
in
the
future,
we
could
start
bringing
back
co-responder
types
of
models
and
that
wouldn't
necessarily
always
have
to
be
separate
from
traditional
law
enforcement.
This
is
how
many
other
cities
do
in
our
metro
area,
while
I
appreciate
the
sentiments
as
to
why
this
had
to
go
in
and
be
completely
separate
in
an
alternative
to
it.
I
don't
know
that
that
has
to
be
codified
here
and
so
I
I
do
support
this
as
as
a
clarification.
Yes,
I
also
appreciate
what
council
member
Chuck
Tai
says,
which
is.
B
G
I
would
I'll
contend
that
council
member
wansley
makes
a
really
excellent
point
in
that,
and
we
know
that
members
of
our
communities
do
refer
to
our
documents,
our
rules,
our
constitutions,
Etc
and
will
conflate
the
the
work
of
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
violence,
Interrupters
with
traditional
policing
and
so
in
a
way
of
of
really
trying
to
I
think
ensure
that
the
understanding
is
that
this
is
separate
from
traditional
policing
that
that
this
language,
May
in
fact
help
us
do
that
the
language
as
it
currently
exists.
N
I,
probably
couldn't
say
it
any
better
than
the
council
president
just
said
it
I.
You
know
that
conflation
has
happened.
Not
only
is
it
possible,
it
has
happened
and
I
know
that
when
it
comes
to
the
many
of
the
programs
that
are
going
to
be
existing
here,
people
are
going
to
want
to
know
when
they're,
interacting
with
someone.
Are
you
someone
who's
actually
going
to
help
me
change
my
life?
N
If
that's
what
I'm
looking
to
do,
or
are
you
going
to
have
sort
of
a
professional
responsibility
to
turn
me
in
or
or
or
whatever?
Is
this
an
actual
alternative,
or
is
this
sort
of
just
another
way
to
police
me
I?
Think
it's
been
something?
That's
happened,
it's
a
part
of
why
I
feel
like
this
Transit
why
I
was
proposing
a
slower
transition
of
the
department,
but
I
feel
like
this
action
would
almost
affirm.
N
You
know
sort
of
some
of
my
concerns
about
the
department,
being
you
know,
kind
of
consumed
by
the
culture
that
is
even
and
and
that's
not
and
that's
before
it
even
lands
right.
This
is
this
is
this?
Is
our
language,
and
so
I
think
separate
from
is
is
is
is
is
vital
to
the
effectiveness
of
it
being
it's
non-tradition,
not
traditional
law
enforcement,
way
of
of
conducting
Public,
Safety
and
so
I
guess
I'll.
Just
keep
my
comments.
There.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Originally
read
this
as
just
a
semantic
difference,
but
I
agree
with
council
president
that
this
is
clarifying
so
I
think
we
should
keep
the
current
language.

Lacking
a
majority
vote
that
Amendment
fails.
Colleagues
we've
completed
all
proposed
amendments
to
the
government
structure
ordinance
those
Amendments
have
been
that
have
been
approved
by
our
committee
will
be
referred
to
the
full
Council
for
its
final
action
at
the
regular
meeting
on
Thursday.
As
a
reminder,
after
action
by
the
mayor,
then
staff
will
create
a
final
draft
ordinance
and
post
that
for
public
access
in
advance
of
the
public
hearing.
The
public
hearing
on
that
ordinance
is
scheduled
for
our
next
regular
meeting
at
this
committee,
so
for
Tuesday,
October
18th,
starting
at
1,
30.
B
I
think
we
could
probably
do
a
Voice
vote
on
that
all
those
in
favor
of
setting
that
public
hearings.
That's
the
second
part
of
this
agenda
today,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
B
I
will
council
president
Jenkins.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
I
just
want
to
really
give
my
deep
gratitude
to
our
staff
to
the
city
attorney's
office,
to
my
colleagues
for
their
thoughtful
amendments
and
really
trying
to
help
us
move
our
city
forward.
G
We
have
had
much
challenge
much
trauma,
much
tragedy
in
the
life
of
the
City
of
Minneapolis
over
the
past
few
years
and
I
think
this.
G
B
Before
we
move
on,
I
also
want
to
thank
our
colleagues
for
all
of
your
work
this
past
year.
This
is
truly
one
of
the
most
important
legislative
issues
that
we're
going
to
work
on
as
a
body.
It
really
will
help
us
provide
a
new
foundation
for
a
new
form
of
government.
Here
the
mayor
has
said
many
times.
His
proposal
is
for
a
structure,
that's
enduring
and
will
Outlast
those
of
us
who
sit
here
on
all
of
our
elected
seats.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
this
has
been
a
collaborative
Endeavor.
It
did
include
the
mayor
But.
B
The
mayor
had
created
a
number
of
implementation
teams,
if
you
recall-
and
they
spent
many
months
thinking
through
all
the
details-
to
ensure
this
is
a
successful
effort
and
give
their
recommendations
into
this
process
too.
So
I
want
to
extend
our
thanks
as
a
city
council
to
each
and
every
one
of
them.
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
