A
Thank
you
good
morning.
My
name
is
lynnae
palmisano
and
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
the
Minneapolis
city
council,
as
you
can
see,
I'm,
not
president
Jenkins
she's
away,
but
returning
later
this
afternoon,
this
will
be
my
first
time
chairing
the
full
Council.
So
I
ask
for
everybody's
patience
with
me
this
morning,
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
meeting
for
Thursday
November
17th.
This
morning
we
have
two
resolutions
to
present
before
we
start
our
other
business
which
we'll
do
before,
which
we'll
do
right
now
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
colleagues.
A
B
All
right
so
we're
here
to
introduce
trans
transgender
day
of
remembrance
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
We're
really
really
proud
that
council
president,
as
well
as
our
staff,
worked
diligently
to
make
sure
that
we're
honoring
our
transgender
residents
and
reaffirming
that
this
is
a
safe
haven
for
all
of
our
transgender
communities
and
making
sure
that
their
rights
and
their
lives
are
just
respected
and
protected.
B
Transgender
women
of
color
face
violence
every
day
and
fear
turning
to
law
enforcement
for
help
due
to
furthering
interactions
of
violence,
victim
blaming
stigma,
sorry
stigmatization
and
harmful
characterization,
including
some
who
died
this
year,
an
officer
involved,
shootings
or
in
custody
and
then
I'll
pass.
It
to
council
member
thank.
C
Now,
therefore,
get
resolved
at
the
mayor
and
city
council
observed
November
20th
as
transgender
day
of
Remembrance
in
acknowledging
and
mourning
the
lives
of
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people.
We've
lost
in
last
year
due
to
violence
and
recognize
that
there's
so
much
work
ahead
in
our
duties
to
help
co-create
a
safer,
more
Equitable
City
for
our
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
community
members.
B
So
we're
really
I'm
excited
that
the
council
will
be
passing
this
today
and
just
letting
the
public
know
letting
our
community
members
know
that
transgender,
as
well
as
gender
non-binary
residents
their
lives
matter
here
in
Minneapolis,
and
we
have
a
duty
to
protect
them
and
we
will
fulfill
that
Duty.
So,
thank
you
all
foreign.
A
D
Good
morning,
thank
you,
commissioner.
Musikant
for
joining
me.
I
want
to
first
thank
all
the
staff
and
previous
staff.
Who've
worked
very
hard
on
this
acknowledgment
and
the
work
that's
moving
forward
on
recognizing
Minneapolis
as
a
child,
safe
City,
and
so
in
honor
of
that
we're
going
to
be
proclaiming
November,
20th
2022
as
world's
children's
day,
and
the
proclamation
reads.
Whereas
November
20th
2022
marks
the
33rd
anniversary
of
the
United
Nations
convention
on
the
rights
of
the
child
and
whereas
of
196
eligible
member
nations
of
the
United
Nations.
F
D
Whereas
on
November
20th
2019,
the
Minneapolis
city
council
passed
a
resolution
to
reaffirm
the
city's
historic
support,
beginning
with
Mayor
Don
Frazier
in
1989,
in
1989
of
the
uncrc
and
pursued
designation
as
a
child-friendly
city
through
the
United
Nations
International
children's
emergency
fund
USA.
And
whereas
mayor
Jacob
Frye
signed
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
unicf
USA
on
February
14
2020
to
work
towards
Minneapolis
becoming
a
child-friendly
city
and
as
of
the
first
cities
in
the
United
States.
To
support
that
designation.
D
In
accordance
with
the
four
overall
goals
in
the
U
in
CRC,
children
should
be
free
from
discrimination.
Government
policy
should
be
based
on
the
best
interests
of
the
child.
Children
should
survive
and
develop
to
their
full
potential,
and
children's
views
and
perspectives
are
important
and
whereas
the
Minneapolis
youth,
Coordinating
Board
and
the
Minneapolis
Health
Department
are
leading
the
effort
to
support
Minneapolis
in
becoming
a
child-friendly
city.
D
On
the
rights
of
the
child,
which
is
celebrated
on
World's
children's
day,
now,
therefore
be
resolved
by
the
City
of
Minneapolis
that
Sunday
November
20th
2022
is
recognized
as
World
Children's
Day
in
Minneapolis,
and
that
the
residents
of
Minneapolis
are
invited
to
recognize
World
Children's
Day
by
learning
more
about
out
the
United
Nations
convention
on
the
rights
of
the
child.
Thank
you
would
you
like
to
say
anything.
G
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
councilmember
veto
for
reading
this
and
for
the
support
that
the
city
council
will
give
when

Commissioner,

started
this
renewed
effort

You

the

a
unique
opportunity

could
bring
a
lot
of
jobs,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
income
to
people
in
areas
where,
quite
frankly,
the
market
has
has
failed
our
constituents-
and
this
is
certainly
one
of
those
projects
and
so
was
really
happy
to
work
with
the
the
project
team.
Devin
George.
L
Thank
you,
madam

so
so
happy

on
this

thanks
all

and
now
on

A
B
You
chair,
palmisano
I,
want
to
speak
briefly
to
item
number
five,
which
is
the
appointed
position
and
office
of
community
safety,
specifically
for
the
community
safety.
Chief
of
Staff
I
spoke
on
this
item
in
committee,
but
just
wanted
to
reiterate
some
of
what
I
shared
due
to
the
testimony
that
this
body
heard
on
Tuesday's
budget
public
hearing
dozens
of
residents
shared
that
they
urgently
need
more
funding
for
public
safety
programs
dealing
with
mental
health,
de-escalation,
healing
and
restorative
justice.
B
People
spoke
to
the
urgent
need
for
resources
to
divert
young
people
from
opioid
use
and
recovery
programs.
These
are
areas
that
have
been
chronically
underfunded
here
at
the
city
and
as
the
city
is
moving
in
our
in
the
direction
of
supporting
initiatives
like
that,
we
absolutely
need
to
be
funding
and
supporting
that
work.
But
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
this
half
happening
very
slowly
for
our
residents
and
that's
exactly
what
we
heard
on
Tuesday.
B
This
agenda
item
is
relevant
to
that,
because
it
is
partially
being
funded
by
parts
of
MPD
Surplus
budget
of
about
three
million
dollars.
Typically,
budget
surpluses
are
returned
to
the
city's
general
fund,
but
this
year
MPD
has
worked
out
a
informal
agreement
with
the
office
of
community
safety
and
the
budget
office
to
donate
some
of
their
access
budget
to
cover
the
cost
of
this
position.
B
So
I
look
forward
to
to
working
with
my
colleagues
and
staff
over
the
next
coming
days
as
we're
in
budget
in
the
budget
season
to
bring
forward
budget
amendments
that
reflect
those
needs
of
our
residents
that
we
heard
on
Tuesday
and
I
hope
this
item
passes
today
and
any
council
member
that
supports
it.
I
hope
can
also
support
using
that
Surplus.
For
other
Public
Safety
initiatives
as
well
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
that.
J
H
A
D
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
public
health
and
safety
committee
is
bringing
forward
six
items
that
it
is
recommended
for
approval
item.
One
is
the
passage
of
an
ordinance
relating
to
the
security
of
reproductive
Health
Care
Facilities
item
two
is
authorizing
an
increase
to
the

D
A
D
B
Councilmember
Vita
kind
of
stole
the
request
already
I'm
super
excited
you
let
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
supporting
this
initiative
and
really
glad
to
see
this
body
continue
standing
for
safeguarding
abortion,
access
and
rights
for
all
of
our
residents
here,
and
this
is
just
another
step
in
which
we
we're
demonstrating
that
commitment.
So
thank
you.
Councilmember
Goodman.
K
Yeah
just
want
to
thank
the
thank
the
body,
but
also
thank
councilmember
Goodman
and
all
of
my
colleagues
who
are
working
on
various
things
to
protect
Reproductive
Rights
to
protect
abortion
rights,
I
think
it's
really
important
work,
I.
Think
it's
and
I
think
it's
really
commendable
and
inspiring
to
watching
to
watch
you
and
watch
all
of
us
stand
up
to
intimidation
to
stand
up
to
people
who
might
want
to
restrict
other
people's
rights
and
I
know
this.
K
A
J
J
Codifying
abortion
access
is
a
top
priority
and
while
I
was
happy
and
relieved
that
legislative
leaders
are
saying
out
loud
what
they
campaigned
on
in
this
election,
there
is
no
such
thing
as
abortion
rights
without
access,
and
there
are
many
angles
we
can
look
at
access
from.
We
can
look
at
access
to
women
who
have
to
travel
long
distances.
J
We
can
look
at
access
from
the
point
of
view
of
women
who
have
children
who
need
to
be
in
daycare
and
have
to
travel
long
distances
or
even
short
distances
and
find
child
care
to
be
able
to
access
their
Reproductive
Rights.
We
can
look
at
access
as
it
pertains
to
the
funding
required
if
you
don't
have
insurance
or
can't,
for
some
reason,
access
State
funding,
but
we
can
also
look
at
access
from
the
point
of
view
of
what
it
takes
for.
J
Anyone
accessing
Health
Care
at
a
Planned,
Parenthood
or
other
Clinic
from
being
able
to
enter
the
clinic
safely
free
of
harassment
and
intimidation,
essentially
under
the
guise
of
free
speech,
and
so
that
is
what
we're
here
to
deal
with
today.
Now
many
of
you
know,
I
was
the
executive
director
of
Minnesota
naral
for
many
years.
J
This
is
an
issue
that
I
thought
would
have
been
resolved
a
long
time
ago
and
unfortunately,
it
has
not
been
it
is
it
almost.
It
makes
me
almost
cry
to
see
the
commitment
and
dedication
of
so
many
council
members,
Next
Generation
council
members
who
really
care
about
this
issue
as
much
as
I
did
then,
and
do
now
and
I'm
really
proud
that
everyone
has
agreed
to
put
their
name
on
this
resolution
to
stand
up
for
the
fact
that
Minneapolis
residents
believe
it's
not
just
about
passing
laws.
But
it's
making
sure
that
everyone
has
access.
J
If
you
would
indulge
me,
I
just
want
to
make
a
couple
of
thank
yous.
I'll
start
with
Zach
Schultz
in
my
office,
oh
to
be
in
your
20s
and
come
to
City
Hall
and
be
asked
to
spend
five
months
of
your
life
working
on
trying
to
do
something
that
threads,
the
needle
between
access
and
Free
Speech
to
work
with
the
clerk's
office
and
all
of
the
others
who
have
been
working
on
this
I.
Give
them
a
lot
of
credit,
I'm
sure
when
he
agreed
to
work
in
my
office
as
a
policy
aide.
J
J
Amy
shut
is
an
incredible
attorney
in
the
city
attorney's
office,
who
has
been
steadfast
in
making
sure
that
we
had
an
ordinance
that
was
legally
defensible
yet
worked
for
clinics
and
access
to
reproductive
Health
Care
in
our
city.
She
is
one
of
these
unsung
heroes
that
many
of
us
had
not
met
met
up
until
this
point
and
I'm
sure
she's
proud
of
this
work
and
I'm
sure
she
faced
a
lot
of
obstacles
internally
and
externally.
In
order
to
get
to
this
point,
I
want
to
shout
her
out.
J
I
also
want
to
thank
great
with
Incredible
gratitude,
the
clinic
escorts
and
volunteers,
who
have
been
on
the
front
lines
doing
this
work
every
day.
Up
into
this
point,
you
know
it's
hard
to
stand
out
there
in
the
cold
for
free
and
do
what
you
think
is
right
and
I'm
just
really
grateful
as
I.
Look
at
you
in
the
audience
and
the
many
many
others
of
you
who
have
really
worked
hard.
J
Our
whole
lives
to
ensure
that
women
have
access
to
everything
that
Planned
Parenthood
provides
when,
when
women
are
being
harassed
at
clinics,
they
could
be
coming
in
for
a
pap
smear
they
could
be
coming
in
for
contraception.
They
could
be
coming
in
for
any
one
of
many
services,
and
this
kind
of
harassment
also
dissuades
people
from
coming
in
for
that
kind
of
care,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
volunteers
and
the
clinic
escorts
and
the
people
who
have
put
their
lives
on
the
line
to
make
sure
we
have
access
to
this
right.
J
J
They
have
not
moved
out
of
the
area
and
they
have
determined
that
they're
going
to
stand
firm,
whether
there's
controversy
or
not,
in
order
to
protect
women's
rights
and
women's
access
and
I'm,
really
proud
of
the
Planned
Parenthood
team
and
all
of
the
people
that
you
brought
to
the
table.
Although
it's
November,
this
has
been
going
on
since
April,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
to
get
to
this
point.
We
had
something
that
we
were
confident
will
withstand
a
legal
Challenge
and
we're
pretty
confident
of
it.
J
So
therefore,
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
you
have
done
and
my
colleagues
for
signing
on
as
co-sponsors,
never
in
my
25
years
of
being
here
have
I
ever
gotten
to
do
something
as
meaningful
and
the
Reproductive
Rights
Movement.
I
am
proud
of
the
fact
that
the
institution,
the
mayor,
the
administration,
the
council,
have
come
to
an
agreement
that
women
deserve
access.
We
want
the
state
to
do
something,
but
we
want
women
to
have
access
right
now,
and
this
will
make
a
difference
in
women's
lives.
Thank
you.
So
much.
D

A
Aye
there

11
eyes
that
carries
in

That
completes
the
reports
of
our
standing
committees.
The
next
order
of
business
is
our
introduction
and
referral
calendar
pursuant
to
notice
council
member
wansley
will
be
introducing
and
giving
first
reading
to
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
housing
maintenance
code
to
repeal
section,
244.60
entitled
temporary
housing
prohibited
exception,
which
will
be
referred
to
the
business,
inspection,
housing
and
zoning
committee
in
the
next
cycle.
Are
there
any
questions
from
council
members
on
that
introduction,
council,
member
wansley
yeah
thank.
B
But
in
the
meantime
we
also
need
to
take
urgent
action
to
approach
unhoused
residents
with
the
goal
of
actually
getting
everyone
safe,
stable
in
no
barrier
housing
that
they
need
in
order
to
thrive
and
just
across
the
river
in
St
Paul
we've
seen
the
city
is
much
more
successful
than
we
are
at
addressing
the
needs
of
unhoused
people.
Currently,
Minneapolis
is
exasperating
the
problem
by
pushing
residents
from
one
place
to
another
through
brutal,
expensive
and
ineffective
evictions.
B
Residents
are
losing
IDs,
medicine
and
shelter
and
they're
also
losing
housing
placements
and
other
social
services,
as
we
continue
to
carry
out
these
evictions.
While
my
colleagues
and
I
continue
to
work
towards
creating
a
comprehensive
policy
that
centers
housing
first
I
also
look
forward
to
working
alongside
community
members
and
my
colleagues
and
continuing
to
hold
the
mayor
and
our
department
has
accountable
if
they
continue
to
move
forward
with
these
inhumane
evictions.
B
G
D
A
A
C
I
want
to
get
some
questions
answered
from
our
city
clerk.
If
that's
okay
or
you
vice
president,
but
this
was
just
referring
work
to
a
committee
to
get
work
done.
I
think
that
is
the
work
of
this
body.
Whether
or
not
we
agree
with
that
ordinance
or
not.
The
work
of
this
body
is
to
do
work
so
I'm
just
confused.
Why
that
failed.
H
Madam,
chair
Madam,
vice
president
I
I,
can't
speak
to
why
the
matter
failed.
The
the
vote
came
out
where
the
process
didn't
pass,
however,
in
general,
in
terms
of
ordinance
processes,
ordinances
being
the
legislative
enactment
of
the
body,
meaning
its
local
laws
that
govern
the
community.
There
is
an
initial
two-step
process
before
work
really
begins.
The
first
process
is
notice
has
to
be
given
in
a
regular
meeting
of
city
council,
and
that
was
happened
at
the
last
Council
cycle.
H
No
action
is
taken
on
notice,
notices,
a
matter
of
giving
members
of
the
body
and
the
community
a
heads
up
that
a
certain
matter
that
is
within
the
code
or
the
charter
is
being
considered
by
the
body.
So
notice
was
properly
given
in
the
last
cycle,
the
first
formal
Vote
or
action
taken
by
the
bodies,
and
is
that
introduction
first
reading
and
referral.
Those
are
three
separate
actions
that
we
typically
take
as
one
action.
It's
the
formal
introduction
of
that
matter
and
its
first
reading,
meaning
the
charter
requires
two
readings
of
every
ordinance.
H
That
is
an
official
action
of
the
body.
The
first
is
taken
at
introduction.
The
second
is
taken
at
the
final
vote,
so
the
vote
that's
taken
today
is
accommodating
those
three
formal
actions,
the
formal
introduction
granting
that
ordinance
its
first
reading
and
then
referring
it
to
committee
for
actual
work,
and
because
of
that,
the
vote
is
required
to
get
its
first
rating
and
make
make
its
referral.
So
that
explains
the
process
of
first
reading.
An
introduction.
B
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
clear
for
the
public
what
just
happened
so
introducing
a
referral
for
us
to
further
modify
and
change
the
current
code
that
was
created
in
1950s
late,
1950s,
that's
being
used
to
carry
out
these
brutal
evictions,
our
ability
as
a
council
to
modify
that
language
just
failed,
and
it
is
disappointing
to
see.
I
will
name
that
that
we're
currently
I'm
glad
again
that
we're
taking
efforts
to
gather
information
that
information
is
happening
or
will
be
reported
back
to
this
body
in
March.
B
This
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
responsive
to
the
right
now
because
there's
snow
on
the
ground
right
now,
people
are
losing
their
items.
People
are
encountering
other
further
disabilities
and
Health
Care
issues,
because
they're
currently
outside
right
now
without
housing,
and
this
was
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
Also
I
will
know.
You
know
I,
believe
that
this
builds
off
of
the
actions
that
were
already
asked
by
council
member
Chavez
and
councilmember
Chuck
Todd
this
summer,
where
we
literally
passed
a
similar
process.
B
So
I
look
forward
to
working
with
those
colleagues,
as
this
has
been
opened
up
just
in
July,
but
I
will
say.
This
is
a
very
disappointing
situation
that
we
are
willing
to
wait
until
March
instead
of
attending
to
our
urgent
crisis
right
now,
as
we've
seen,
St
Paul
do
way
better
and
do
so
that
honors,
the
humanity
and
the
needs
of
our
unhoused
residents
and
I'm
committed
to
that.
Regardless
of
when
my
colleagues
decides
to
join
on
into
that
commitment
to.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
One
of
the
statements
I
just
heard
was
that
our
ability
to
modify
that
language
just
failed,
and
that
is
factually
incorrect
because
in
July
this
actual
ordinance
language
was
opened
up,
as
was
later
mentioned,
which
I'm
glad
that
that
was
mentioned.
That's
the
ability
for
this
Council
and
that
work
is
actually
already
before
this
Council
to
be
able
to
amend
that
language
and
do
something
I
think
that
is
the
responsible
approach
personally,
rather
than
outright
repeal,
as
there
were
comments
made
earlier
around
inhumanity.
I
We
received
a
very
thoughtful
email
from
City
staff
about
all
the
work
they
do
to
support
on
unsheltered
individuals,
that
includes
entry
assessment
with
Hennepin
County
for
housing
or
case
management
connections
to
existing
caseworkers
connections,
service
providers,
storage
through
the
downtown
improvement
district
connection
to
shelter,
services,
medical
attention
with
health
care
for
the
homeless
transportation,
to
resources
as
well.
There
is
a
ton
of
work
that
our
staff
are
doing
today
on
this.
There
is
opportunity
for
this
Council
to
further
add
policy
around
this.
I
That's
something
multiple
council
members
have
started
the
process
for
that
I
I
would
be
willing
to
suggest.
Probably
every
council
member
on
this
body
supports
the
efforts
around
and
then
I'll
also
further
mention
that
I
put
in
a
call
to
the
mayor's
office,
because
I
want
to
see
more
policy
around
this
I
want
to
see
more
transparency
around
homeless,
encampments
and
I
was
encouraged
by
the
work
that
they
are
doing
and
will
soon
be
announcing
around
this
as
well.
That
is
modeled
after
other
cities
too.
I
So
I
don't
want
to
steal
their
thunder
in
that
regard,
but
we
have
to
work
with
our
partners
in
the
administration
as
well
on
this.
So
that's
why
I
did
not
support
outright
repeal
today,
which
is
what
was
introduced
because
we
already
have
started
the
work
to
do
the
amending
and
to
add
additional
policy
that
I
do
think
is
really
important
work
for
this
body
to
do.
Thank
you.
A
B
You
chair
palmisano,
just
to
piggyback
off
of
a
comment
that
council
member
Johnson
just
raised.
We
did
receive
an
email
from
staff
per
well
follow
and
go
up
to
a
request
that
I
had
on
Tuesday
when
we
voted
on
the
legislative
directive
that
passed
today
around
encampment
responses
for
our
staff
that
carries
out
our
encampment
Response
Team
I
wanted
to
know
what
was
our
approach
for
this
winter
and
I'm
glad
that
staff
got
back
a
pretty
decent
email.
B
That
outlines
what
you
know,
methods
and
what
practices
that
team
will
be
leading.
But
I
do
want
to
know
again
in
that
email.
It
did
not
include
how
we're
stopping
the
destruction
of
our
residents
personal
property.
It
does
not
include
any
information
about
whether
or
not
in
these
eviction
processes
will
unhous
residents.
Medicine
will
continue
to
be
thrown
away
that
they
need.
B
Also
again,
it
did
not
explicitly
name
how
we're
working
with
our
partners
at
the
county
level
and
also
across
the
Enterprise
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
minimal
police
contact
with
our
unhoused
residents
during
this
eviction.
So,
while
I
agree
and
naming
who's
responsible
is
the
mayor's
office
that
are
carrying
out
or
giving
the
thumbs
up
around
these
evictions
I
do
want
to
know
those
policy
components.
That
is
our
job.
That
is
the
job
of
this
body.
B
That's
creating
this
guacamole
approach
with
our
unhoused
neighbors
and
that's
actually
interrupting
unhoused
Neighbors
from
getting
the
services
like
housing
like
mental
health,
like
substance,
abuse
services
that
the
county
and
other
partners
are
providing.
Our
evictions
is
literally
interrupting
and
basically
holding
back
that
work
so
that
we're
not
constantly
seeing
our
unhoused
communities
grow,
so
I
didn't
want
to
name
and
provide
some
clarification
around
those
matters
too.
C
Vice
president
I
just
want
to
get
some
make
it
clear
to
the
public.
Today's
vote
was
not
to
stop
evictions
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
It
was
for
council
members
to
be
able
to
do
their
jobs
to
refer
this
work
to
a
committee
where
later
that,
what
would
take
place
like
that
was
the
vote
we
took
today.
That's
like
me,
saying
as
a
council
member
that
weeks
ago,
this
body
took
a
vote
to
make
sure
on-house
neighbors
do
not
have
storage.
C
It's
like
me
saying
that
this
body
took
a
Humane
approach
to
make
sure
that
we
can
evict
an
encampment
if
there's
no
shelter
beds
like
the
vote
today
was
not
related
and
it
and
I
understand,
though,
what's
happening,
but
the
vote
today
was
to
do
the
work
of
a
council
member
to
legislate
and
do
policy
making.
It
was
not
to
stop
evictions,
so
I
just
want
to
make
that
very
clear.
That
vote
would
have
taken
place

Biz
committee.

H
A
You
that
motion
passes
and
the
subject
matter
has
been
returned
to
author.
The
next
order
of
business
is
resolutions,
and
we
have
one
honorary
resolution
that
was
read
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
The
other
the
world
Children's
Day
piece
was
part
of
the
public
safety
report.
Are
there
any
further
comments
from
my
colleagues
on
the
transgender
day
of
remembrance
resolution?

All
the
volunteers,
all
the
staff
just
like
you
know,
can't
can't
sing
their
prices
high
enough
and
and
and
and
all
the
feedback
I've
gotten
from
constituents.
You
know
I'm
this
isn't
data.
This
is
maybe
confirmation
bias,
but
every
everything
that
I've
heard
indicates
that
our
team
yet
again
executed
a
really
excellent
election.
K
I'm
excited
I
know
that
at
some
point
we'll
get
an
update
from
the
from
the
elections
team
about
what
the
numbers
were
and
how
they
compared
to
previous
years,
and
all
that
kind
of
analysis
and
I.
Don't
have
that
in
front
of
me
now,
but
just
wanted
to
thank
thank
elections.
Thank
the
clerk's
office
and
and
yeah.
That's
it.
A
Thank
you.
I
had
an
opportunity
to
see
our
new
election
and
voter
Services
director
Katie
Smith
on
an
escalator
going
the
opposite
way
yesterday
and
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
to
say
as
much
as
I
had
wanted
to
to
her,
but
I
think
that
this
was.
This
was
a
lot
to
take
on
as
you're
brand
new
to
the
city
and
I
really
appreciate
her
and
everybody
that
worked
on
this
election
with
her
clerk
Carl
did
you
want
to
add
anything.
H
H
The
state
has
reported
that
I
think
we're
at
65
or
66
percent
according
to
Secretary
of
State
once
again
leading
the
nation,
so
it
was
still
holding
the
record
as
the
voting
estate
and
where
the
Voting
is
City
in
that
state.
So
I
appreciate
the
work
of
the
elections
team,
our
brand
new
elections,
director
Katie
Smith,
all
of
our
election
workers
who
join
us
every
year
and
especially
for
the
support
from
our
policy
makers
who
make
it
all
possible.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
So
in
knowing
that
again,
this
body
has
not
taken
action
to
address
the
fact
that
we
have
encampments
right
now.
During
this
winter,
our
residents
have
been
asking
and
putting
calls
to
actions
out
for
folks
to
make
donations
and
support
them.
So
I
encourage
you
all
to
check
out
through
social
media
and
website
the
sanctuary,
Supply
Depot,
to
really
again
support
our
neighbors,
who
are
stepping
up
in
the
absence
of
us
and
making
sure
our
unhoused
neighbors
are,
are
being
able
to
weather
this
winter
as
best
as
they
can.
A
Thank
you
before
we
adjourn
colleagues
I
wanted
to
remind
the
public
that,
due
to
the
federal
holiday
next
week,
we
won't
be
having
any
Council
meetings,
so
I
wish
everyone
a
safe
and
happy
week
with
your
family
and
your
loved
ones,
as
we
both
give
thanks
and
remember
the
complex
history
of
the
land
on
which
our
country
sits,
land
that
was
stolen
from
the
indigenous
people
and
the
Traditions
Customs
values,
spirituality,
ceremonies,
language
and
more
that
was
erased
or
appropriated.
So
it's
important
that
we
Center
this
acknowledgment
and
also
celebrate
this
coming
week.
A
Are
there
any
other
announcements
we've
completed
our
business
today
and
with
nothing
further
to
become
coming
before
the
council
and
without
objection?
I
adjourn
this
meeting
to
December
6th
at
6
05
pm,
and
that
will
be
to
receive
public
comment
on
the
truth
and
Taxation
noticed
part
of
our
budget
process
and
adopt
the
proposed
2023
City
budget
and
tax
levy,
the
fiscal
year
2023
Consolidated
plan
and
the
proposed
Water
and
Sewer
rates.
So
thank
you.
Everyone.
