A
C
Madam
president,
the
committee
of
the
whole
brings
one
item
forward
today.
That's
the
Omnibus
ordinance
on
government
structure
that
has
been
the
focus
of
our
committee
for
the
past
10
months
on
behalf
of
the
entire
committee
I'm
pleased
to
present
this
with
a
favorable
recommendation
for
approval
by
the
city
council
and
I'd
like
to
speak
to
that
motion
to
Madam
president.
C
Thank
you,
I
noted
in
my
comments
at
our
public
hearing
on
Tuesday
that
this
ordinance
represents
a
partnership
between
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
As
with
all
ordinances,
these
are
the
official
acts
of
the
city
itself.
They
are
not
the
acts
of
any
one
individual
who
happens
to
be
serving
an
office
at
a
given
point
in
time
in
the
future.
When
our
residents
look
back
to
this
ordinance,
they
won't
be
identifying
this
ordinance
with
me
or
with
any
of
us
on
the
council
or
with
our
current
mayor.
C
These
ordinants
are
the
local
laws
of
our
city
and
I.
Think
this
ordinance
in
particular,
is
so
very
important
to
the
future
of
our
community.
This
ordinance
puts
into
place
a
new
governing
structure
that
our
voters
adopted
in
form.
So
the
voters
spoke.
They
wanted
this
new
form
of
government
and
we
are
responding
to
the
voter's
will
by
working
collaboratively
to
implement
this
new
structure.
C
The
mayor
has
said
many
times
that
the
goal
is
to
put
in
place
an
operating
structure
that
is
durable,
one
that
can
be
adjusted
based
on
future
Community
needs.
He
said
he
wants
an
operating
structure.
That
is
efficient,
one
that
is
effective
and
one
that
ensures
the
Equitable
delivery
of
city
services
to
everybody
in
our
community.
I
agree.
Those
are
worthy
goals.
C
One
comment
that
stuck
with
me
after
our
public
hearing
was
whether
or
not
the
mayor
could
simply
make
changes
without
consulting
the
council.
There
was
a
suggestion
that
the
council,
through
this
ordinance,
was
giving
away
its
power,
so
I
reflected
on
that
and
I
sought
out
clarification
from
our
professional
staff.
Actually
without
this
ordinance
and
any
further
changes
in
the
future.
It
is
true
that
the
mayor
could
organize
the
administration.
However,
they
please
without
involving
the
council
as
long
as
the
mayor
abided
by
the
city
Charter,
they
could
restructure
the
city
departments.
C
C
If
we
did
that
it
would
restrict
council's
authority
to
confirming
certain
department
head
positions
and
approving
budgets
to
me
that
would
be
giving
away
Council
power
and
eliminating
important
checks
and
balances.
Instead,
the
mayor
submitted
his
proposal
to
us
so
that
we,
the
council,
might
exercise
our
legislative
prerogative
and
codify
this
operating
structure
in
the
code.
That
means
we
get
a
say
and
how
those
departments
are
are
organized.
C
C
Those
future
actions
will
further
cement
in
place
an
operating
structure
that
is
known
that
is
consistent,
that
ensures
stability
between
elections
that
provides
professional
Administration
by
qualified
experts
that
will
serve
our
city,
regardless
of
who
happens
to
be
the
mayor.
Who
happens
to
hold
seats
on
the
city
council
at
some
future
point
in
time?
C
So
I
welcome
the
chance
to
vote
on
this
ordinance
and
I
look
forward
to
considering
any
amendments
to
the
Charter
in
the
future,
so
that
we,
the
city
council,
can
protect
our
core
roles
and
responsibilities
for
enacting
city
laws
and
policies
so
that
we
can
ensure
there
is
a
system
of
checks
and
balances
in
place
to
serve
our
communities
and
our
constituents.
I
know
that
we
don't
all
agree
on
the
final
version
of
this
ordinance
and
that's
okay.
C
The
purpose
of
democracy
isn't
unanimous
agreement,
it's
building
consensus
so
that
we
all
have
input
on
shared
decisions
about
how
we
want
the
government
to
serve
us.
I
know
that
this
process
has
been
very
long
and
drawn
out.
I
also
appreciate
that
councilmember
Koski
talked
about
the
education
we've
all
gained
by
going
through
this
process
together
and
I
want
to
repeat
my
thanks
to
each
of
you
for
your
contributions,
your
engagement
and
your
willingness
to
work
on
this
together.
Even
when
we
didn't
always
agree,
I
think
the
final
product
reflects
the
consensus
of
this
body.
C
A
G
Thank
you,
chair,
Jenkins
I've
had
some
serious
concerns
about
this
package
from
the
beginning.
I've
worked
with
my
colleagues
and
staff
to
try
to
improve
the
proposal
every
step
of
the
way,
but,
unfortunately
the
proposal
in
front
of
us
is
not
something
I
can
support
and
I
want
to
list
out
there
clearly
a
couple
reasons
why
the
first
one
being
question
one
has
been
fully
implemented
for
a
year.
This
new
restructure,
directly
undermines
question
one
by
intentionally
blurring
the
lines
of
authority
and
responsibility
of
the
legislative
body.
G
The
mayor
now
makes
policy
recommendations
and
a
new
layer
of
unelected
bureaucrats
blur
the
lines
of
May
girl
Authority.
This
is
an
overreach
of
question.
One
affirming
executive
legislative
structure
does
not
mean
surrendering
the
council's
authority
to
advance
the
priorities
of
our
residents
number
two.
This
new
structure
does
not
take
racial
Equity
seriously.
G
That's
very
clear
and
an
important
example
of
this
was
the
letter
earlier
signed
this
year
by
most
department
heads
urging
the
council
to
confirm
someone,
despite
over
50,
mostly
black
and
brown
city
workers,
speaking
out
about
the
systemic
racism
in
their
department
and
even
in
the
last
week,
since
voting
down
the
executive
race
and
Equity
department.
The
city
has
violently
displaced
hundreds
of
mostly
unhoused
indigenous
black
and
brown
people.
G
The
third
structural
changes
are
just
a
distraction
if
they
don't
come
with
the
political
will
for
Solutions.
The
mayor
asked
the
public
for
more
Authority
Under
question
one
and
question
two
and
the
public
voted
and
gave
it
to
him,
but
he
has
not
used
that
authority
to
address
any
of
the
Urgent
problems.
That's
facing
our
city
right
now
pick
one
from
housing
from
environmental
justice
to
transportation.
In
just
10
months,
we've
moved
backwards
instead
of
forward.
G
So
what
makes
us
think
things
are
going
to
be
anything
different
and
number
four
and
most
importantly,
it's
never
been
explained
why
this
new
government
will
help
Ordinary
People.
Most
importantly,
this
government
restructure
comes
with
no
plans
for
tracking
success.
It
does
not
come
with
the
definition
of
success.
There
has
never
been
any
metrics
laid
out
be
before
this
body
with
the
clear
explanation
of
what
the
goals
will
be.
There
is
no
plan.
There
are
no
metrics.
G
There's
no
plan
to
even
check
in
down
the
road
to
see
where
we're
going
or
how
things
are.
What
does
success?
Look
like
what
does
failure?
Look
like
your
guess
is
as
good
as
mines
and
yet
Council
will
most
likely
be
passing
this
today,
but
I
will
be
voting
against
this
proposal
and
even
with
that,
I
still
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
to
most
importantly,
bring
this
restructure
to
voters
in
2023.
Who
should
ultimately
have
the
final
say
on
this
foreign.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wanted
to
hop
in
queue
and
and
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilmember
wansley
I'd,
say
I
I
have
felt
in
this
process.
Similarly,
similarly
to
how
councilmember
wansley
has
expressed
today,
I
will
be
supporting
the
proposal
as
as
amended,
and
the
reason
is,
is
a
couple
and
I
don't
need
to
be
belabored
this
point,
but
I
do
think
that
there
are
still
big
questions
about
how
we're
going
to
function
within
this
new
system.
H
It's
new
to
all
of
us.
It
certainly
has
been
an
education
and,
while
I
oppose
question
one,
you
know
and
felt
that
that
process
was
incredibly
political.
H
I
think
that
the
process
of
shaping
this
proposal,
because
of
the
leadership
of
our
Clerk
and
because
of
the
leadership
of
attorney
Trammell
I,
think
has
been
at
least
significantly
less
political
in
this
process
and
I
think
that
they
have
in
good
faith
shape
this
helped
the
council
and
the
mayor
to
shape
this
policy
and
so
I
think
in
the
interest
of
and
while
I
haven't
gotten
everything
that
I've
wanted
to
see
in
this
proposal.
H
The
truth
is
that
I
don't
know
that
there's
a
version
of
this
proposal
that
would
fully
satisfy
the
kind
of
local
government
that
I
would
want
to
run
or
be
a
part
of
that
being
said,
a
lot
of
changes
that
I've
wanted
to
see
happen
have
happened
in
this
proposal
and
so
kind
of
taking
the
good
with
the
bad.
H
In
that
sense,
I'll
be
supporting
this
proposal
today
and
I've
got
commitments
from
a
number
of
my
colleagues
from
the
mayor
around
making
sure
that
we
can
maintain
the
Integrity
of
work
like
ovp,
we've
moved,
OPI,
I
think
to
its
appropriate
place
within
the
institution.
Councilmember
Goodman
is
leading
work
on
and
making
sure
that
we
have
a
pathway
and
have
real
answers
for
how
we
can
address
constituent
Services.
H
These
are
all
still
outstanding
questions,
but
I
do
feel
like
these
conversations
have
happened
in
good
faith,
and
so
that's
why
I'll
be
supporting
the
proposal
today
and
I
want
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
the
work
that
they've
put
in
in
making
this
happen.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah.
This
has
been
such
a
learning
experience.
You
know
we
went
into
this
term
really
trying
to
understand
what
the
implication
of
question
one
passing
was.
I
I
was
a
strong
supporter
of
question
two
and,
of
course,
that
didn't
pass,
and
we
all
believed
that
we
needed
to
change
the
charter
to
see
the
types
of
structural
changes
that
we
wanted
to
see
when
it
came
to
our
Public
Safety
Systems,
and
you
know
even
learning
just
you
know
in
the
last
couple
days
that
we
don't
we
we
really
don't
need
to
change
the
charter
to
have
the
office
of
community
safety,
we're
actually
operating
under
an
Optimus
of
community
safety
right
now
today,
without
a
charter
change,
without
this
ordinance
being
passed,
and
it's
kind
of
just
opened
my
eyes
to
the
opportunity,
that's
ahead
of
us
and
to
me
we're
still
very
early
in
this
new
form
of
our
government
and
I.
I
We
need
to
continue
to
learn
and
I
think
that
this
ordinance
is
actually
presupposing
some
of
those
lessons
right
now,
I
and
and
we're
also
on
this
unique
opportunity
where
us
on
this
body
are
going
to
only
be
here
for
two
years,
potentially
because
we
have
another
election
next
year
and
the
mayor
has
four
years
to
really
kind
of
smooth
out
what
the
structure
of
this
new
government
is
and
I
think
that
committing
to
this
ordinance
today
is
actually
removing
a
lot
of
the
flexibility
that
the
mayor
has
currently
I.
I
Think
that
what
we
ought
to
do
is
actually
learn
and
grow
together
under
this,
this
new
form
of
government.
You
know,
we've
obviously,
as
a
body
of
allocated
resources
for
Staffing
up
these
Executive
offices,
that
the
mayor
has
requested
I
think
we
should
continue
supporting
the
mayor
and
exploring
what
the
best
way
to
structure
and
run
the
government
is
before
we
make
these
commitments
on
paper.
So
I've,
actually
from
a
perspective
of
a
more
flexible
approach
to
this
learning
moment
in
our
government.
I
A
Thank
you,
councilmember

Q

J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
will
be

yes

It's
a
very
historic
moment
for
this
city.
The
voters
have
spoken
loud
and
clear
that
they
wanted
a
new
form
of
government.
We've
all
worked
hard
over
the
10
months
and
in
particular,
Nolan's
worked
harder
than
attorney
Trammell
and
clerk
Carl
and
their
staffs
I
want
to.
Thank
you
again
publicly
for
all
your
hard
work
and
thoughtful
work.
J
The
mayor's
office
has
been
exceptional
to
work
with
we've
all
taking
the
time
to
understand
how
this
will
improve
our
city
and
I
look
forward
to
voting
yes
on
this.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,

will
note
that
we
have
been
joined
by
mayor

an
opportunity
to
speak.
If
you
are
interested.
Thank.
K
You,

thank
you,
council
members
for
having
me
today
and
for
all
of
your
deliberation
and
consideration
off
of
what
is
and
historic
decision
that
we're
presently
going
through
I'm,
going
to
save
more
extended
comments
for
after
the
council
meeting,
but
I
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
both
to
set
a
tone
as
well
as
to
thank
you.
K
This
is
indeed
an
historic
occasion,
one
that
has
been
over
100
years
in
the
making
with
about
17
failed
attempts
in
getting
to
this
point
in
time,
and
it
gives
us
right
now
an
opportunity,
yes
to
do
things
differently,
but
also
set
up
a
long,
lasting
and
durable
government
for
multiple
Generations
that
is
efficient.
K
That
is
equitable.
That
is
inclusive
and
responsive
to
the
needs
of
the
residents
of
our
city.
There's
no
one
right
way
of
doing
this,
as
we
saw
the
work
group
that
we
created
immediately
following
the
election
came
forward
with
several
different
recommendations,
but
all
of
those
recommendations
came
within
the
context
that
the
voters
had
just
submitted
to
us
a
charge
of
an
executive
mayor
and
a
legislative
Council,
and
so
many
people
I
want
to
thank
and
getting
to
this
point.
But
a
couple
pieces
I
wanted
to
note.
K
We
chose
to
get
the
council
approval
in
this
process.
There
were
two
ways
of
doing
it:
getting
the
council's
approval
and
not
getting
the
council's
approval.
K
The
deliberations
that
you
have
undergone
I
believe
has
made
this
a
better
ordinance,
the
work
that
you
have
done,
the
input
that
you
have
provided
both
through
leadership
of
council
president
and
Council
vice
president
through
months
and
months
of
work,
as
well
as
through
all
of
you,
I've,
had
extended
conversations
with
most
every
one
of
you
about
how
best
to
structure
a
government,
the
input
that
you
have
provided
it
has
helped
and
whether
or
not
you
agreed
on
question
one
whether
you
were
for
it
or
you
were
against
it.
K
Your
input
enhances
the
democratic
system,
that's
what
our
body
that's
what
our
city
Enterprise
should
be
about
working
with
each
other
deliberating
having
disagreements,
of
course,
and
then
finally,
coming
to
a
consensus
that
quite
simply
makes
people's
lives
better.
You
know,
there's
there's
some
days
where
history
happens
to
us
there's
other
days
where
we
happen
to
history.
I
think
this
is
one
instance
where
it's
the
latter.
We
should
be
proud
of
it.
K
I'm
proud
of
you
I'm,
proud
to
work
with
you,
and
so
thank
you
to
all
the
council
members
up
here
for
their
work
on
it.
Also,
a
few
really
special
thank
yous
as
well
to
our
work
group
that
spent
months
deliberating
on
different
forms
of
setting
this
structure
up
from
a
deputy
mayor
system
to
a
chief
administrative
officer
structure
to
the
system
that
we
have
in
place,
which
offers
an
office
of
community
safety,
an
area
where
I
believe
there
is
Broad
unity
in
integrating
our
response
to
the
various
safety
issues.
K
Thank
you
to
Peter
ebnet
from
my
staff,
who
has
worked
on
this
long
and
tirelessly,
even
far
prior
to
the
election
of
last
year,
to
make
sure
that
the
pieces
were
in
place
in
my
office
to
ensure
we
could
get
this
done
and
get
it
done
right
to
Susan
Trammell,
who
drafted
the
ordinance
before
you
to
make
sure
that
it
worked
and
functioned
legally,
which
is
no
small
task.
L
J
K
A
Thank
you,
mayor,
Frye
and
I
did
put
myself
in
queue
also
to
offer,
thanks
to
our
staff,
to
my
colleagues
who
have
all
contributed
enormously
to
this
process
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
the
mayor
and
his
staff
to
the
work
group.
This
is
a
historic
moment
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
I
do
have
one
question,
I
think
for
Miss
Trammell
and
that
you
know
where
you
mentioned
mayor
fry,
that
this
is
being
done
by
ordinance
with
input
from
all
of
us
and
I'm
curious
are.
A
Are
we
able
to
amend
or
ship
shape
this
ordinance
in
the
future?
Before
we
go
to
the
Charter.
A
N
Morning,
president
Jenkins
members
of
the
council,
as
with
any
ordinance,
an
ordinance,
may
be
amended
by
city
council
upon
subject
matter,
introduction
and
the
regular
processes
of
ordinance
Amendment.
So
at
any
time
in
the
future,
should
there
be
determined
that
the
council
wishes
to
amend
the
ordinance
it
may
be
amended
and
that
would
could
be
before
or
after
a
subsequent
Charter
Amendment.

A
G
You
chair,
Jenkins
I,
just
have
a
comment
about
item
number
17.,
I'm,
very
glad
that
we're
bringing
social
workers
into
the
city's
Public
Safety
team.
However,
it
does
not
make
sense
that
these
social
workers
are
just
going
to
be
located
within
MPD
instead
of
the
office
of
community
safety.
We
just
passed.
The
government
restructure
and
part
of
creating
the
office
of
community
safety
was
to
desiled
our
current
public
safety
system
to
make
it
more
comprehensive.
G
Yet
these
social
workers,
who
would
be
an
incredible
and
valuable
asset
to
every
single
division
in
OCS,
they're
being
sideloed
to
just
one
Department
the
police,
and
that
is
very
much.
You
know
in
contradiction
to
the
new
public
safety
system
that
we
just
created.
So
for
those
reasons,
I
will
be
abstaining
on
item
number
17.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
wansley
I
did
put
myself
in
queue
to
just
come
in
on
item
number
one:
the
senior
Fair
donation
and
been
working
with
councilmember
McCoskey
in
planning
this
event
for
a
number
of
months
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
a
very
informative
and
exciting
event
for
seniors
in
our
community
I
believe
the
date
is
October,
26th
and
so
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
to
that
and
encouraging
my
colleagues
to
support
this
adopting
this
report
today,
seeing
no
further
comments
clerk,
please
call
the
roll
council.
B
B
D
A
That
report
is
adopted.
The
next
Community
report
is
the
public
health
and
safety
committee.
That
report
will
be
presented
by
the
chair
council
member
of
Utah.
O
Midi
is
bringing
forward
four
items
that
it
is
recommending
for
approval
item.
One

P
This
was
sent
forward
without
recommendation
from
the
committee
in
order
to
have
further
engagement
with
the
Dinkytown
Association
and
I
was
able
to
connect
with
staff
at
the
end
of
the
day
yesterday
and
they
were
able
to
connect
with
that
Association
work
out
additional
plans
for
helping
resolve
concerns,
and
so
I
want
to
extend
my
appreciation
to
staff
for
doing
that
and,
as
a
result
of
that,
I
will
be
moving
all
six
items
forward
for
approval
today
and
we'll
stand
for
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
chair
Johnson.
Are
there
any
questions?
A
N
B
A
Business
is
the
notice
of
ordinance
introductions.
The
first
notice
today
is
by
councilmember
Johnson
to
amend
the
streets
and
sidewalk
codes
to
amend
language
regarding
the
denial
of
and
issuance
of
a
right
of
way
permits,
standardizing
fees
for
unpermitted
work
in
the
public
right
away
and
clarifying
the
permit
denial
appeal
process.
A
Next,
council
member
Payne's
notice
of
intent
to
amend
the
liquor
and
beer
code
to
amend
alcohol,
license
applications
Provisions
to
clarify
and
consolidate
processes.
Those
notices
are
hereby
given.
No
further
action
is
required
at
this
time.
Next,
we
have
our
introduction
and
referral
calendar.
A
G
Thank
you.
So
my
office
is
continuing
to
work
with
City
staff
in
the
community
on
this
exciting
change
to
our
City's
existing
Pollution
Control
annual
registration.
There
is
so
much
energy
and
enthusiasm
amongst
thousands
of
working-class
people
for
classifying
CO2
as
a
pollutant
as
a
way
to
seriously
incentivize
lowering
our
carbon
emissions
and
generate
protective
Revenue
to
fund
Green
New
Deal
programs.
Cities
around
the
country
are
leading
the
nation
by
significantly
investing
in
green
infrastructure
and
in
environmental
justice.
G
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Valens,
Lee
and
I
am
pleased
that
you
brought
this
introduction
forward
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
it
as
well.
A
Next,
we
have
councilmember
Goodman,
who
will
be
introducing
with
unanimous
consent
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
title
15
to
the
code
related
to
offenses
miscellaneous,
to
add
a
new
chapter
405
relating
to
security
of
reproductive
Health,
Care
Facilities,
to
establish
signage
allowances
and
prohibit
disrupting
access
to
and
occupying
driveways
of
reproductive
Health
Care
Facilities,
which
will
also
be
referred
to
the
public
health
and
safety
Committee
in
the
next
cycle.
Councilmember
Goodman.
Would
you
like
to
speak.
F
To
you,
I
would
thank
you,
madam
chair,
we're
asking
for
unanimous
consent
today
to
move
forward.
This
ordinance
change,
because
persistent
harassment
of
abortion,
clinics,
escorts
and
volunteers
is
too
frequent
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
the
National
Abortion,
federation's
violence
and
disrupt
disruption.
Statistics
show
a
128
percent
increase
in
incidences
of
assault
and
battery.
In
2001
alone,
these
incidents
include
reports
of
anti-abortion
individuals,
pushing
shoving
using
pepper
spray
against
slapping
kicking
and
physically
confronting
Clinic
escorts
staff
and
others
outside
of
abortion
facilities.
This
ordinance
is
meant
to
offer
additional
protections
to
abortion
clinics.
F
Let's
just
call
it
what
it
is:
abortion
clinics,
Reproductive,
Rights
care
facilities
in
Minneapolis,
while
still
protecting
People's,
First
Amendment
rights.
Very
simply
put
this
ordinance
would
prohibit
the
obstruction
of
driveways
and
other
sidewalks
to
get
into
parking
lots
and
places
where
people
seeking
reproductive
Health
Care
are
looking
to
gain
access.
F
I
will
note
that
my
office
has
been
working
on
this
for
the
better
part
of
two
months
in
partnership
with
Planned
Parenthood,
and
we
also
have
been
working
with
the
ACLU
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
everybody's
First
Amendment
rights
because
of
the
ongoing
threats
of
violence
to
abortion,
clinics
and
Reproductive
Rights
facilities
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I'm,
asking
for
unanimous
consent.
So
we
can
move
this
ordinance,
which
is
pretty
much
ready
to
go
to
the
Public
Safety
Committee
for
referral
and
to
take
it
up
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Goodman,
for
bringing
forward
this
really
important
introduction,
and
last
we
have
councilmember
Ellison,
who
will
be
introducing
with
unanimous
consent
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
title,
two
of
the
code
related
to
Administration,
to
amend
the
sunset
provision
and
timing
of
the
General
Industry
category
reviews,
which
will
be
referred
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
Committee
in
the
next
cycle.
Councilmember
Ellison.
H
Yes
issue.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
This
it
speaks
to
the
target
market
program.
I
want
to
make.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
program
doesn't
expire.
I
think
that
we
all
really
appreciate
the
city's
policy
of
doing
business
with
our
neighbors,
and
so
so,
yes,
so
I'll
be
taking
a
look
at
the
sunset
provision.
I'll
be
working
with
staff
to
make
sure
that
the
program
doesn't
expire,
and
so
that's.
A
All
thank
you,
councilmember,
Ellison,
again,
a
very
important
ordinance
to
ensure
that
we
are
supporting
small
and
people
of
color
in
women
own
businesses.
Thank
you.
So
much
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my

agenda.

is

council
member
Chuck
Tai.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
speak
to
the
the
first
item.
That's
before
us
under
a
new
business.
Q
I'll
start
by
providing
some
context
on
June
29th
of
last
year,
the
city
council
received
a
presentation
on
homeless
encampments
which
emphasize
that
a
comprehensive,
clearly
articulated
policy
and
action
plan
must
be
implemented
to
address
the
complex
in
varied
circumstances
experienced
by
those
residing
outside.
It
also
named
that
an
established
policy
is
the
Bedrock
for
a
Humane
response
to
encampments.
Q
In
June
of
this
year,
council,
member
Chavez
and
I
brought
forward
notice
of
intent,
introducing
policy
related
to
encampment
response.
Since
then,
we've
worked
closely
with
the
mayor's
office
and
the
administration
on
addressing
this
crisis
on
October
6th.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
three
encampments
were
forcibly
removed
with
a
heavily
armed
police
presence,
resulting
in
unsheltered
residents
losing
their
belongings
and
the
creation
of
new
encampments
and
the
growth
of
existing
ones.
Q
The
sort
of
conduct
is
unacceptable,
clear
that
our
stated
intentions
and
the
way
residents
experience
our
choices
and
actions
are
out
of
alignment
with
one
another,
making
it
impossible
for
people
to
gather
their
belongings
with
no
advanced
notice,
destroying
people's
belongings,
including
essential
documentation,
medication
and
other
important
items
creates
further
displacement,
displacement
and
harm
continued.
Forced
relocation
will
lead
to
more
deaths
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic
and
the
looming
winter
months.
Q
The
City
of
Minneapolis
responds
with
inhumane
tactics
and
does
not
systemically
Advance
the
reduction
of
homelessness
and
housing
individuals
in
a
dignified
way.
We
should
be
striving
for
every
resident
in
the
city
to
be
housed.
That's
not
the
reality
of
the
world
we
live
in,
and
a
policy
and
action
plan
on
homeless,
encampments
that
centers,
Humanity
dignity
and
safety
is
the
least
we
can
offer
residents
addressing
homelessness
and
responding
to
unsheltered.
Homelessness
is
absolutely
something
that
we
do
in
partnership
with
others,
with
the
county,
with
the
state
and
with
our
non-profit
partners.
Q
Q
City
staff
and
First
Responders
are
directed
to
leave
their
primary
job
responsibilities
to
give
up
days
off,
while
being
understaffed.
Their
presence
escalates
tension
and
puts
staff
at
unnecessary
risk,
and
the
work
of
our
professional
Partners,
like
social
workers,
is
made
more
difficult
with
the
chaos
that
comes
from
clearing
encampments
without
warning
and
partnership.
Q
First
part
of
this
action
that
I'm
bringing
forward
temporarily
pausing
forced
removals
or
closures
of
encampments
for
the
next
six
months
through
April
30th
2023
addresses
this.
We
need
to
stop
this
practice
immediately
and
take
time
to
reevaluate
our
approach
and
understand
the
impacts
of
our
actions.
I
know
this
body
to
be
one
that
values,
research,
that
values,
ensuring
timely
delivery
of
our
city
services
for
all
of
our
constituents
and
ensuring
that
best
practices
are
followed.
Q
The
second
part
of
this
action
addresses
taking
account
for
the
full
cost
monetary
public,
health
and
Public
Safety
of
these
Force
removals.
Encampment
sweeps
are
costly
with
estimates
that
range
as
high
as
six
figures
per
removal,
and
they
take
away
funding
and
resources
that
could
go
to
supporting
our
our
unhoused
residents
with
basic
services
and
needs
and
all
residents
with
the
critical
city
services
that
that
are
required.
Q
We
need
this
information
to
make
thoughtful
decisions
about
the
council's
policy,
making
responsibility
encampment
residents,
our
constituents
service
providers,
our
staff
all
deserve
Clarity
transparency
and
consistency
in
our
decisions,
and
our
constituents
deserve
transparency
and
how
their
money
is
being
used.
Q
The
response
the
city
has
had
to
to
homeless
encampments
is,
is
getting
all
of
the
wrong
outcomes
in
in
safety
and
in
the
health
of
our
communities,
and
we
can't
continue
to
operate
under
the
same
conditions
expecting
different
results
each
time.
All
of
that
being
said,
I'd
like
to
move
this
item
for
approval
and
I'd
like
to
divide
the
question
to
have
separate
votes
on
part
A
and
Part
B,
so
this
body
can
make
a
decision
on
moving
forward
with
a
temporary
pause
and
taking
into
account
the
full
cost
of
these
practices.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Chuck,
Tai
councilman
has
moved
this
item
under
new
business,
a
staff
Direction
and
is
requesting
that
we
have
separate
votes
on
Parts,
A
and
B
is.
A
Second,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
proper
second
and
I
see
we
have
in
queue,
I,
think
first,
council,
member
palmisano
in
next
council
member
wansley,
councilmember
palmisano.
C
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
my
concern
with
both
new
business
item,
one
and
item
two,
whether
or
not
item
is
item,
one
is
split
and
two,
but
is
this
staff
directive
within
the
council's
Authority
Under,
the
city
Charter?
That's
a
question
for
the
City
attorney.
L
Council
president
Council,
vice
president
members
of
of
the
council,
I
and
staff
have
have
taken
a
look
at
this
and
and
regardless
of
whether
you
you
split
split,
A
and
B.
This
really
goes
to
the
the
day-to-day
enforcement
of
an
ordinance
that
that
exists
on
the
book,
so
that
really
is
within
the
executive
Authority
and
not
within
the
legislative
Authority.
C
L
A
No
I
think
that
we
should
take
a
council
vote
on
whether
or
not
this
is
in.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
more
and
actually
ask
a
follow-up
question
with
the
city
attorney
on
this.
So
I
see
items
a
and
items
B
you
know,
I
can
personally
understand
the
concerns
around
executive
Authority,
operational
Authority
on
item
a
but
for
Item
B.
Does
the
charter
not
allow
the
council
to
gather
information
around
City
operations?
P
I
mean
I,
I
thought
that's
well
within
our
purview,
and
so,
if
we're
asking
for
specific
analysis
to
come
back
around
costs
budget,
which
is
also
in
the
council's
purview,
I'm,
not
quite
sure
how
that
would
be
in
violation
of
the
council's
authority.
So
if
I
could
get
a
further
explanation,
that
would
be
great.
L
L
Council
member
council
president
council
member
Johnson
I
think
that
the
form
being
a
directive
is
is
an
issue
if
this
was
a
request
to
staff.
I
think
that
the
form
the
form
matters
in
terms
of
the
day-to-day
direction
of
the
the
the
the
activities
of
Staff
being
a
directive.
But
again
a
request
would
be
something
different.
P
E
M
Chair
sorry,
clerk
just
handed
the
the
charter
languages,
so
the
provision
is,
let's
find
the
citation.
M
7.1,
each
to
legislative
oversight,
the
mayor,
it
says
the
mayor
must
furnish
to
the
council
any
information
that
the
council
requests
for
the
exercise
of
its
legislative
function,
including,
but
not
limited
to
the
budget.
So
the
mayor
must
furnish
to
the
council.
So
there
is
still
a
you
know,
all
all
in
terms
of
the
city
attorney's
initial
point
and
this
point,
where
you're
reaching
a
point
that
delves
into
enforcement
enforcement
is
inherently
a
series
of
discretionary
decisions
in
the
field,
often
and
so
again
the
implication
of
the
charter.
M
The
way
I
read
it
is
that
there
at
some
point
there
has
to
be
a
reach
across
the
aisle
from
legislative
to
Executive
in
order
to
effectuate,
ultimately,
something
that
would
be
operative
and
successful.
P
A
So,
just
for
my
own
clarification
and
I
think
for
the
audience
as
well.
The
council
can
request
the
mayor
to
provide
this
information
regarding
cost
activities.
Etc
is
that
accurate.
A
We
have
a
decision
Point,
whether
we
want
to
vote
as
a
body
to.
A
A
This
and
that
would
be
for
the
second
part
of
this
staff
requests,
yeah
and
I
know.
We
have
a
number
of
my
colleagues
in
queue
to
speak,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
they're
going
to
speak
to
this
issue
or
to
the
the
impending
the
pending
vote.
But
let's
go
ahead
and
just
go
and
cue
council
member
wansley,
not
Chuck
Tai
and
then
Osmond.
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
would
like
to
defer
at
least
give
space
for
council
member
Chuck
Tai
to
be
able
to
respond
around
like
how
she
would
like
to
move
forward
with.
What's
in
front
of
us
before,
I
speak.
G
Well,
you
mentioned
before
we
got
into
Q.
If
the
author
would
like
to
adjust
their
Amendment,
we
didn't
get
Space
to
hear
from
councilmember
Jack's
eye
on
that.
So
I
just
want
that
before
we
start
Q.
Q
Thank
you
very
much,
so
you
know
speaking
first
to
the
the
authority
of
of
council
to
receive
information
that
we
need
in
order
to
make
decisions
around
the
budget
and
make
policy
decisions.
This
body,
in
this
term
multiple
times,
has
passed
staff
directions
that
ask
specific
departments
and
specific
staff
and
the
administration
to
provide
us
with
information.
Q
That
is
time
certain
as
it
is
in
this
case,
so
I
would
be
happy
to
to
change
the
language
of
Part
B
to
by
April
30th
2023,
the
you
know
the
mayor
and
and
relevant
staff
or
the
mayor
in
the
administration
or
the
mayor
and
the
regulatory
Services
Department
happy
to
make
that
change,
but
I
I
think
it's!
It's
really
important.
Q
We
see
this
Administration
use
government
structure
as
a
trump
card,
and
it
is
not
one
in,
but
in
in
the
the
request
for
Council
action
on
the
the
government
structural
ordinance
that
we
just
approved
it
states
clearly
that,
under
this
new
government
structure,
the
mayor
is
designated
as
the
chief
executive
of
the
city
government
and
the
head
of
its
Administration.
While
the
city
council
is
the
legislative
body
that
has
authority
to
enact
local
laws
to
govern
the
community
and
public
policies
to
direct
the
delivery
of
city
services
and
programs.
Q
M
Oh
chair,
Jenkins,
councilman,
Richard,
I
I,
don't
know
that
there's
anything
new
that
needs
to
be
said.
I
think
our
opinion
still
stands
that
the
council
does
have
the
ability
to
request
information.
You
obviously
have
the
power
of
the
purse
and
the
legislative
function
of
the
city,
and
in
order
to
inform
those
processes,
you
do
need
information
they're
based
on
information.
However,
as
the
City
attorney
noted
in
Part
B,
the
the
initial
clause
is
something
that
does
go
over.
That
line
between
what
is
now
a
clear
executive,
Authority
versus
legislative
Authority.
B
Madam
president
I
was
just
going
to
try
and
maybe
clear
up
I.
Think
language
is
our
problem.
Here.
We've
always
used
the
word
staff
directive,
meaning
requesting
information
so
to
council.
Member
suggest
point,
the
the
title
of
the
form
of
action,
I
think
is,
is
less
problematic
than
as
the
attorneys
have
attempted
to
say,
part
A
is
is
organizing
and
managing
work.
Part
B
is,
as
the
attorneys
have
said
well
within
the
legislative
and
policy
making
functions
of
the
council,
not
to
be
disputed.
B
The
the
idea
of
a
staff
Direction
asking
for
this
information
is
within
the
council's
purview,
so
long
as
the
intent
of
that
directive
is
tied
to
the
council's
legislative
policy.
Making
oversight
functions
as
long
as
it
is
adopted
by
the
required
vote
and
as
long
as
it's
submitted
to
the
mayor
and
the
American
veto,
or
approve
that,
because
it
is
an
official
Act
of
the
council,
so
I
I
think
possibly
we're
all
learning
and
we're
all
adjusting
our
new
language.
A
staff
directive
is
not
necessarily
something
a
council
cannot
do.
B
The
staff
directive
is
the
thing
we've
been
using,
but
I
will
say,
as
I've
said
before,
the
language
can
be
confusing.
You
may
remember
back
in
February,
staff
was
in
front
of
this
body,
proposing
a
policy
that
we
paused
and
that
policy
was,
as
you'll
recall,
the
request
and
referral
process
where
council,
members
and
Council
committees
and
the
council's
of
body
would
follow
a
new
policy
on
how
to
interact
with
the
administration.
It's
unfortunate
that
in
pursuing
the
government
ordinance
process,
we
put
that
aside
and
suspended
work
on
it.
B
That
is
something
we
need
to
bring
forward
and
I
even
believe.
Other
council
members
have
mentioned
this,
that
we
need
to
have
that
consistent
process
whereby,
as
the
attorneys
have
said,
the
legislative
body
can
reach
across
to
the
administration
and
get
the
information
it
needs,
which
the
charter
says.
You
have
the
right
to
do.
I,
don't
think
that
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
attorneys
that
part
B
on
the
staff
direction
is
not
within
the
council's
purview.
B
It
is
I
think
that
you've
been
told
it
is
so
to
settle
that
this
is
within
your
purview.
It
is
legislative
in
nature.
It
does
support
your
policy
making
functions,
including
current
and
potential
future
budgetary
decisions.
So
I
just
want
to
sort
of
calm
that
down
and
say
potentially
the
idea
of
Staff
Direction
and
when
you
combine
them
that
might
be
a
different
answer.
You've
separated
those
that
creates
two
different
issues,
so
I
hope
that
I
answered
that
perhaps
a
little
more
fully
I
do
think
a
potentially
is
problematic.
B
I
think
B
is
within
the
council's
role
as
the
legislative
body,
and
you
have
the
right
to
request
that
the
way
we've
done
that
in
the
past
is
directing
it
to
staff
I,
don't
think
that
should
have
to
change
either.
The
mayor
gets
this
action
as
soon
as
you're
done
with
it.
The
mayor
can
make
a
decision
to
say
no
and
return
it
to
this
body,
so
those
checks
and
balances
are
maintained.
Q
I
appreciate
that
clarification
for
for
me
for
this
body
for
for
the
room,
and
so
that
being
said,
I
would
actually
love
some
clarification
from
our
attorneys
on
part
A
and
speaking
specifically
to
the
the
council,
being
the
legislative
body
with
the
authority
to
enact
public
policies
to
direct
the
delivery
of
city
services
and
programs,
and
when
this
item
says,
when
part
A
says
temporarily,
pausing,
Force
removals
or
closures
of
of
homeless
encampments.
Q
The
the
city's
role
in
that
is
by
using
city
services
and
programs
to
do
so.
So
if
the
council
has
the
authority
to
direct
city
services
and
programs,
then
this
feels
like
it
falls
within
that
That,
explicit
Authority.
M
Chair
Jenkins,
councilmember,
checked
I
all
attempt
to
answer
the
the
that
the
the
only
thing
that
is
operative
from
a
legislative
perspective
in
this
realm
is
the
one
provision
in
244.60
I,
believe
that
is
a
Prohibition
on
temp,
the
erection
of
temporary
outdoor
shelter.
M
The
council
can
amend
that
or
can
it
repeal
it
can
repeal
that
ordinance?
You
could
add
just
thinking
you
could
add.
You
know
craft
carefully
worded
exceptions
to
that
ordinance
in
terms
of
carrying
that
out
any
further
that
gets
into
the
operative
Realm
of
the
administration
and
the
council
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
dictate
how
when
why,
but
you
can
set
the
guardrails.
That's
all
part
of
that
legislative
Authority,
so
that
provision
is
on
the
books
again
as
an
existing
provision,
essentially
dictating
a
suspension.
A
We
can
take
up
each
item
separately
and
then
there
is
another
issue
of
so
I
think
we
have
went
through
the
process
to
determine
what
is
the
council's
Fairview
versus
the
executive
purview,
and
so
now
we
will
hear
from
council
members
councilman
romantically.
Did
you
remove
yourself
from
Q
councilmember,
winesley,
Osman,
Johnson
and
Ellison
councilman
wansley?
Thank.
G
You
so
much
Madam
president
first
I
just
want
to
extend
a
huge
heartfelt
thank
you
to
council
member
Chuck
Tai
for
bringing
this
forward,
even
though
there's
efforts
to
try
to
stop
us
from
just
taking
a
vote
on
something
that
our
residents
are
asking
us
to
do
and
have
been
asking
us
to
do
for
quite
some
time.
I
am
very
much
aware
that
this
has
been
a
key
issue
for
many
of
us
that
we've
been
trying
to
move
forward.
G
Literally
since
our
very
first
week,
I
know
there
was
five
of
us
that
went
to
the
near
North
and
came
back
in
January
with
another.
Unjustified
eviction
was
being
planned
to
be
carried
out
and
ever
since
we
went
to
that
eviction,
we've
been
met
with
resistance
and
misdirection
from
departments
across
the
entreprize,
and
that's
very
unfortunate
that
we
keep
relying
on
violently
displacing
our
unhoused
residents
and
still
provide
no
thoughtful
plan.
G
G
This
proposal
that
I
want
to
thank,
for
my
you
know,
extend
major
thanks
to
my
colleagues
around.
It's
also
realistic.
It
does
not
wave
a
magic
wand
and
fix
homelessness,
but
it
does
allow
our
city
to
finally
take
a
commitment
to
stopping
this
current,
wasteful
and
inhumane
practice.
It
shows
that
we
are
stopping
our
failed
approach
and
getting
serious
about
developing
something.
Different
and
I
really
want
to
thank
again
council
member
Chuck
Tai
for
bringing
this
forward.
Thank
you
to
our
residents.
G
Both
housed
and
unhoused
who've
had
to
continue
to
hold
us
accountable
to
do
our
jobs
and
even
up
until
this
moment,
where
we
can
literally
take
a
vote
to
do
something
about
it.
We're
still
trying
to
figure
out
a
workaround
on
it.
So
I
would
ask
that
we
just
take
the
votes
and
if
you
have
a
problem
with
taking
a
no
Vote
or
a
yes
vote
for
it.
That's
a
personal
issue.
Don't
use
procedure
as
a
way
to
deflect
from
your
responsibility
to
our
residents.
R
Thank
you,
madam
Madam
president
I
I
am
supportive
of
Part
B
requesting
the
mayor,
information
and
I.
Think
also
is
tracking
that
during
the
temporary
pass,
I
do
want
to
make
comments
on
on
a
homeless
encampment
in
our
city.
Our
city,
as
I
said
it
before,
is
segregated.
R
Not
every
homeless
encampments
affects
every
area
in
City
of
Minneapolis.
My
world
is
impacted,
homeless
incomes
more
than
any
anywhere
anywhere
else
in
the
city
when
I
took
office,
I
had
over
a
dozen
over
12
encampments.
During
that
Governor's
monatorium
to
stop
evicting
and
homeless.
Folks
I
have
lived
across
the
street
from
encampment
over
for
over
a
year.
R
Winter
is
coming
up,
and
these
folks
are
dealing
with
so
many
issues.
Mental
Health
homelessness.
R
They
are
in
dangers
even
where
they're
staying
it's
not
safe.
We
have
deaths
that
are
taking
place
in
the
encampments.
We
have
shootings,
we
have
in
my
district.
In
my
area
we
had
a
shootings,
we
had
a
baby
that
died
in
the
incumbents
we
deal
with
so
money,
so
many
folks
are
being
mistreated
in
those
things
the
folks
that
are
coming
outside
that
don't
live
in
increments.
R
The
residents
are
living
in,
chemins
are
being
exposed
and
sex
trafficked
they're,
not
in
a
safe
environment,
and
also
also,
let's
think,
about
the
resident
that
lived
in
there
too.
R
Most
of
these
encampments
are
located
next
to
a
low-income
housing
families
that
are
one
month
away
from
pain,
then
rent
and
themselves
becoming
a
homelessness,
and
we
just
have
to
be
fair
in
this
process
and
really
say
it
that
our
city
is
segregated.
We
are
the
ones
the
poor
people
are
the
ones
that
are
dealing
with
the
encampments.
These
folks
need
help
as
much
health
as
we
can
as
City
leadership.
This
is
a
call
for
the
leadership,
especially
the
mayor's
leadership,
just
not
to
be
quiet
about
this
and
also
take
the
lead
on
this.
R
R
You
know,
I
haven't
had
a
conversation,
people
talking
about,
let's
have
a
designated
areas
in
the
incumbents,
but
what
part
you
know
what
part
of
the
city
do
we
take
that
designated
areas?
The
folks
do
need
help.
They
are
homeless,
they
are
dealing
with
disabilities
and
and
mental
health,
and
so
many
crises
here
and
a
victim
them.
R
R
You
know,
there's
no
oversight
of
you
know
as
Public
Works
staff
gonna
go
there
and
clean
up
the
needles
and
and
and
sanitary
and
all
those
stuff.
We
as
a
city
have
to
take
that
lead.
We
can
argue,
you
know
how
operational
we
can
work,
but
I
think
this
requires
a
lot
of
leadership,
especially
in
mayor's
side,
to
address
this
in
a
state
crisis,
not
just
the
city
issue.
But
this
is
a
issue.
This
a
folks
need
a
lot
of
help.
R
At
the
same
time,
we
also
want
to
keep
the
folks
that
are
housed,
housed
I've
dealt
with
many
residents
that
are
reaching
out
to
me.
You
know
that
were
next
to
dangers
in
chemicals
as
I
called
it
an
Elliott
Park.
We
had
a
proponent
explosion
that
happened
there.
R
You
know
folks,
are
dealing
with
expensive
of
of
their
belongings
that
are
being
broken.
Their
cars,
like
the
next
to
the
like
I,
say:
low
income,
housing
and
now
there's
600
expensive
to
fix
their
window.
You
know
now
they
can,
they
can
pay
the
rent
and
I
would
say
that.
Are
we
really
doing
any
favor
for
the
low
income,
housing
folks
or
the
poor
people
that
live
in
war,
6
or
Ward,
9
or
5,
or
so
on?
We're
not
doing
any
favors
by
that,
so
I
I
would
just
call
out.
R
This
requires
a
lot
of
leadership
and
coming
together
and
working
together
and
coming
up
and
asking
help
for
this
day
too.
I
would
I
would
ask
addressing
this
issue
and
I'll
close
it
out
that
the
unhoused
our
unhoused
residents,
deserve
respect
and
dignity,
and
they
should
be
protected,
and
we
should
also
protect
our
resident
that
live
already
in
the
areas
that
are
dealing
with
what
comes
with
heaven
in
cabins.
Next
to
your
house.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
had
I
had
two
basic
questions
and
I
don't
want
to
keep
going
into
the
semantics,
but
for
for
item
a
you
know,
a
temporary
pause
I
mean
if,
if
we
I
mean
how
is
that
different
than-
and
this
is
for
the
attorneys,
because
I
think
that
it's
the
language
maybe
doesn't
matter,
but
from
my
own
understanding,
you
know:
how
is
that
different
than
a
moratorium?
Is
the
council
no
longer
allowed
to
impose
moratoriums?
You
know
I,
think
about
other
terms
that
have
similar
meetings.
H
You
know
it
takes
an
act
of
Congress
to
to
you
know,
put
up
an
embargo
or
remove
an
embargo.
It
takes
an
act
of
Congress
to
you,
know,
create
a
Prohibition
or
remove
a
Prohibition.
These
are
all
things
that
are
similar
to
moratoriums,
and
so
is
is.
Is
it
it
feels
like
a
moratorium?
A
stay,
a
Prohibition,
an
embargo
is
legislative.
It
feels
policy
and
nature,
and
so
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
question
a
could
be
interpreted
as
out
of
order,
and
if
the
attorneys
could
help
me
understand
that.
M
Sure,
chair,
Jenkins,
councilmember,
Ellison
I'll
attempt
to
moratorium
is
a
specific
defined
legal
term.
It's
a
land
use
tool,
it's
authorized
in
the
state,
Municipal
planning
act
and
then
also
in
our
zoning
code.
It
it
applies
in
a
specific
circumstance
where
there
is
a
an
active
or
authorized.
You
know
planning
process
going
on
in
terms
of
our
looking
at
our
comprehensive
plan
and
our
implementing
regulations,
the
zoning
code
among
the
primary
among
them
that
can
freeze
you,
know
certain
permitting
decisions
or
or
certain
types
of
development.
While
that
occurs.
M
So
it's
it's
not
really.
It's
not
really
real.
It's
not
relevant
to
this
this
realm.
The
again,
the
only
code
provision
that
bears
on
this
issue
on
the
books
is
a
Prohibition.
It's
a
Prohibition
on
temporary
outdoor
shelter
with
no
other
context
per
se
in
the
ordinance.
So
as
the
legislative
body,
yes,
you
could
repeal
that
you
could
craft
exceptions.
You
could
do
those
things,
but
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
just
you
know
asking
for
what
it
would
be
here.
M
H
It
thank
you
thank
you
for
that.
I
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
thank
councilmember
chick
Tai
for
for
bringing
this
forward
I.
Think
often,
these
conversations
can
be
framed
as
whether
you
want
encampments
or
don't
want
encampments,
but
that
sort
of
that
binary
is
a
little
bit
silly.
We're
there
are
people
who
are
living
on
the
street.
There
are
people
who
are
living
in
encampments
and
and
us
saying
that
you're
not
allowed
to
live
in
a
tent.
H
You
know
us
enforcing
an
ordinance
that
was
written,
I
believe
in
1960,
probably
not
for
this
issue
isn't
actually
making
it
magically
that
people
are
not
out
on
the
streets
or
living
in
encampments
or
or
you
know,
congregate
living
out.
You
know
in
fields
or
or
or
parks,
and
so
I
do
think
that
we
need
a
solution
and
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
taken.
As
a
you
know,
a
chastising
of
staff
for
code
enforcement
to
say
we
need
to.
H
We
need
to
figure
out
how
we're
actually
affecting
the
problem
here
or
not
affecting
it.
You
know
my
feeling
is
that
you
know
when
we
were
moving
encampment
and
all
we
have
now
are
6
12,
10,
smaller
encampments
nearby
in
and
around
our
neighborhoods,
which
is
often
the
case.
H
That's
not
us
getting
closer
to
the
problem.
Yes,
there
are
issues
that
arise
in
encampments
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
handle
those,
but
I
think
what
councilmember
chuckita
is
proposing
is
that
the
solution
that
we've
created
is
incredibly
expensive
for
anybody
who
was
able
to
see
some
of
the
perimeters
that
were
created
in
these
most
recent
closures.
H
They
lasted
all
day.
They
had,
it
must
have
been
MPD
working,
incredible
numbers
of
overtime.
What
you
know,
I
I,
don't
know
that
I've
been
briefed
on
the
cost
of
that
I.
Don't
know
the
cost
of
that
here
as
we
speak,
and
so
I
think
that
requesting
that
information
is
is
really
important,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
for
this
I.
Don't
know
if
this
is
going
to
pass.
I
hope
it
does.
H
I
certainly
know
that
the
conversation
won't
be
over
regardless
of
whether
this
passes
or
not,
because
this
issue
it
continues
and
it
really
isn't
a
matter
of
whether
you
want
or
don't
want
encampments.
It's
a
matter
of.
Are
we
affecting
the
problem
or
are
we
not
and
how
much
money
are
we
spending
to
not
affect
the
problem,
the
the
the
the
the
other
the
second
question
I
had
is
given,
given
the
changes
in
government
structure,
you
know
I,
guess
directive
request.
H
Those
are
sort
of
semantics
that
are
indistinguishable,
but
if
the
mayor
doesn't
does
not
fulfill
the
request
and
this
passes
what
what
it?
What
is
the
council's
recourse,
then
what
what
are?
What's?
What
is
our
sort
of
systems
of
accountability?
If
a
request
goes
unfulfilled,.
M
Jenkins
councilman,
Burleson
I
might
ask
the
clerk
for
assistance
here,
but
I
would
assume.
This
is
like
any
official
action
of
the
council,
regardless
of
the
form
whether
it's
an
ordinance,
a
resolution
or
other
that
it
takes
in
most
instances,
seven
votes
to
pass
and
Advance
it
to
the
mayor.
The
American
sign
it
or
veto
it,
and
if
it's
vetoed
the
council
can
override
with
nine
votes
and
so
I
think
the
answer
is
still
a
question
of
voting
capacity.
H
Right,
I
guess
my
question
was:
if
we
get
to
nine
and
we
get
to
the
date,
certain
I
thought
there
was
a
date
certain
on
here
and
the
request
has
still
gone
unfulfilled
sort
of
what
is
our
recourse
at
that
point
and
I'm
asking
literally
because
you
know
this
is
a
new
system
of
government.
It's
it's!
It's
not
I,
don't
think
we've!
It's
not
a
situation.
We've
ever
been
in
before
right.
M
Right,
chair,
Jenkins,
councilman
Wilson:
if
the
council
override
it
it's
an
effective
action
and-
and
you
know,
staff
would
have
staff
would
have
to
carry
that
out.
I.
Don't
it
it's
hard
to
answer
a
question
like
that.
That
presumes
the
worst
possible
outcome.
I
mean
it's.
You
know
you.
You
want
to
think
that
when
voting
happens
and
a
vote
like
that,
a
veto
is
overridden.
That's
you
know.
Staff
are
going
to
comply,
I
I,
don't
assume
the
opposite.
M
H
You
you
know:
I
I,
hope
that
my
colleagues
are
willing
to
support
this
at
least
be,
if
not,
if
not
a
and
and
if
and
if
a
is
inappropriate.
Today,
then
I
I
think
that
there's
you
know
there
still
should
be
some
conversations
that
happen
among
Council,
about
whether
it
be
conversations
with
the
mayor
or
amending
the
1960s
ordinance
to
to
give
us
some
room
to
create
a
kind
of
a
pause,
a
moratorium,
an
embargo
on
on
these
closures.
I
Thinking
about
him,
president,
so
I
drafted
up
a
motion
under
the
anticipation
that
council
member
Chuck
ties,
pause,
wasn't
going
to
be
supported
by
this
body.
I
I
did
not
anticipate
that
there
would
be
an
attempt
to
just
you
know,
rule
these
out
of
order
and
not
even
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
say
you
know.
I
appreciate,
councilmember,
Chuck,
Tai
and
I
just
want
to
share
a
little
bit
about
why
I
drafted
up
my
motion
and
what
the
contents
of
it
are.
So
I
I
simply
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
as
we're.
I
I
want
there
to
be
a
notice
to
vacate
on
a
certain
date
with
a
minimum
of
seven
days
and
I
want
folks
to
be
able
to
add
store
their
belongings
during
that
duration
of
time.
So
that
it
doesn't
get
destroyed-
and
you
know
we
described
in
our
motions
background
which
is
on
limbs
even
if
it's
ruled
out
of
order,
it's
on
limbs
for
the
public
to
read
that
in
August
the
rug
Services
director
provided
City
leadership,
a
high
level
review
of
how
the
city
responds
to
individuals
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness,
an
overview.
I
The
city's
encampment
closure
policies.
Later
that
month,
a
U.S
District,
Court
Judge
ruled
that
a
lawsuit
brought
on
behalf
of
homeless.
People
who
lost
their
homes
during
encampment
sweeps
could
continue
against
the
Minneapolis
park
and
rec
board.
The
judge
allowed
claims
that
the
park
board
had
unlawfully,
seized
and
destroyed
the
plaintiff's
property,
in
violation
of
their
fourth
and
14th
Amendment
rights
and
their
state
constitutional
equivalence
to
move
ahead.
I
I
I
What
we
have
before
us
is
a
staff
Direction,
whether
it
you
know
a
moratorium
or
the
staff
direction
that
I'm
proposing
around
some
of
these
adjustments
to
how
we
approach
these
sweeps.
It
doesn't
stop
encampment
well,
my
mind,
doesn't
stop
encampment
evictions
and
and
I.
Think
councilmember's
Spirit,
here
is
to
say:
let's
just
get
this
right
before
we
do
this
and
it's
not
going
to
address
all
the
concerns
regarding
the
city's
account
and
closure
process.
I
As
we've
discussed
in
this
pretty
robust
conversation,
you
know
the
attorneys
told
me
that
this
is
not
within
the
purview
of
council
and
that
to
accomplish
what
I've
laid
out
I
should,
you
know,
have
a
one-on-one
with
the
mayor's
office,
but
at
other
times,
I've
been
told
that
Council
needs
to
move
as
a
body
and
that
we
shouldn't
be
operating
as
individual
council
members
trying
to
you
know,
negotiate
operational
decisions
at
the
staff
level.
I
I
I
Is
that
not
the
same
as
a
staff
Direction
and
how
must
Council
directives
be
worded?
So
it
doesn't
conflict
with
the
charter.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
conversation
about
the
language
here
and
I.
Think
putting
aside
the
questions
about
this
language,
I'm
really
asking
us
to
say:
let's
not
get
caught
up
in
process
or
the
legality
of
the
specific
language
of
the
staff
Direction.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Payne
I
can
only
speak
for
myself.
I
am
absolutely
100
in
favor
of
trying
to
determine
what
would
be
a
humane
process
for
dealing
with
the
unfortunate
circumstance
of
encampments
and
unhoused
residents
in
our
community,
and
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
that
process
can
be
worked
through
with
the
fall
Administration
with
the
mayor
and
the
city
council,
and
we
can
do
that.
A
I
do
believe.
Council
member
vitel.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
I,
just
don't
even
know
where
to
start
I
guess
it
feels
like
if
this
was
done
in
the
spirit
of
getting
it
right.
It
wouldn't
have
been
sprung
on
us
this
morning.
This
is
the
first
time
I'm,
even
seeing
this
language,
and
it
feels
performative
like
if
you
really
want
to
accomplish
something.
This
isn't
the
way
you
get
it
done.
If
you
want
to
really
have
solutions
for
our
unhoused
people,
you
work
with
your
colleagues,
you
work
with
the
mayor.
O
You
work
with
Partners
like
Hennepin
County
like
the
governor,
all
these
Solutions
around
housing.
It
really
does
it
feels
extremely
performative.
This
is
an
action
that
should
come
through
a
committee.
We
are
in
a
full
council
meeting.
This
could
have
come
through
any
of
our
committees.
My
vice
chair
has
just
talked
about.
You
know
the
work
that
he
wants
to
do.
This
could
have
come
through
public
health
and
safety.
This
could
have
come
through
Pogo.
This
could
have
come
through
so
many
different
Community
committees.
That
is
the
way
things
are
done.
O
It's
a
process
I,
don't
like
how
some
people
want
process
and
data
for
certain
things,
but
not
everything.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
it
right.
This
is
not
the
time
to
perform
to
play
up
to
a
group
of
people
who
come
to
threaten
you
and
and
make
you
feel
bad
like
it's
never
gonna
happen.
It's
never
gonna
happen.
If
we
don't
do
it
right,
the
right
way
is
to
work
with
our
attorneys
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
subjecting
ourselves
to
things.
O
I
was
on
the
park
board
when
what
council
member
Payne
is
talking
about.
I
was
at
the
park
board.
When
the
lawsuit
came,
we
we
got
it
wrong.
First,
we
had
to
go
back
and
fix
it.
There's
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
the
proper
resources
to
get
this
right
and
put
in
language
in
front
of
us
on
Friday
morning,
Thursday,
it's
Thursday
on
Thursday
morning
at
a
meeting
is
it's
not
it.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
P
You,
madam
president,
and
before
I,
get
to
my
comments.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
just
to
bring
up
the
decorum
issue
that
continues
to
happen
throughout
this
year.
I
mean
it
is
completely
inappropriate,
and
we
know
this
as
part
of
our
our
rules
and
our
our
customs
to
ascribe
intentions
and
motives
and
to
call
people
names
on
this
body.
P
It
inflames
and
escalates
discourse
and
I
would
respectfully
request
the
council
leadership
when
that
happens
immediately.
Stop
it
and
call
it
out
and
help
continue
to
ensure
that
this
body
is
working
in
a
respectful
way.
We
all
have
different
opinions
up
here.
That's
the
beauty
of
democracy.
P
It's
important
for
us
all
to
share
our
perspectives
in
our
opinions,
but
to
do
so
in
a
way
where
we
are
not
ascribing
motives
to
other
people
or
calling
or
reverting
to
calling
each
other
names
all.
P
Thank
you,
council
president,
so
you
know
I'm
not
sure
which
of
these
two
items
is
before
us.
Frankly,
at
this
point,
I'm
kind
of
assuming
both
A
and
B
are
before
us
at
this
point,
so
I
I
will
speak
to
both
of
those
for
item
a
we've
heard
the
opinions
from
City
staff
frankly,
I
agree
with
them
that
item
a
is
operational.
I
also
agree
with
my
colleagues
comments
that
we
should
work
to
find
a
path.
P
There
are
procedural
paths
available
through
our
processes
in
order
for
this
body
to
weigh
in
and
then
the
other
aspect
is
even
in
the
meantime,
there
is
another
elected
branch
of
our
government,
a
hundred
feet
down
the
hall
that
that
the
public
has
has
an
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
as
well
and
council
members.
If
we
have
interests
in
this,
we
can
reach
out
to
as
well
and
work
in
Partnership.
As
for
Item,
B
I
think
getting
this
information
is
something
that
is
helpful
within
the
purview
of
the
body.
P
I
would
maybe
have
a
friendly
suggestion
on
a
potential
additional
Amendment
here.
First
off
the
timeline
is
fairly
significantly
out
there,
April
30th.
That
may
be
able
to
be
traded
off
with
a
piece
that
I
have
some
concerns
about,
which
is
it
specifically
says
in
the
last
five
years.
That's
a
pretty
lengthy
amount
of
time,
I'm,
not
sure
we're
going
to
have
records
dating
back.
P
That
far
of
you
know
exactly
how
many
people
were
used
to
remove
an
encampment
that
sort
of
thing,
so
my
suggestion
might
be
to
change
that
to
something
like
the
last
year
and
then
you
might
be
able
to
move
the
timeline
up
for
when
that
report
comes
back
to
actually
have
it
still
happen
within
this
year.
So
that
might
be
a
potential
amendment
to
consider.
So
I
would
like
to
express
that
as
well
to
the
author.
Thank
you.
A
A
It
does
not
necessarily
include
the
amendment
that
councilmember
Johnson
just
offered,
but
I'm,
not
sure.
If
you
are
interested
in
accepting
that
or
not.
Q
So
I
I
appreciate
the
the
point
that
you're
bringing
up
there
council
member
Johnson.
It
is
something
that
I
I
struggled
with
as
well,
and
this
this
General
request
of
hey
staff.
Q
Can
you
tell
us
how
much
this
action
cost
is
one
that
that
we've
that
I
have
made
of
Staff
in
the
past
I
know,
council,
member
Chavez
has
made
of
Staff
in
the
past,
and
you
know
in
in
specifically
in
speaking
to
the
budget
office
it
was,
it
was
I
was
assured
that
the
ability
to
look
back
at
staff
time
that
was
billed
and
allocated
for
certain
actions
going
back.
Q
This
amount
of
time
was
was
absolutely
possible
and
something
that
they
had
the
capacity
to
do
and
then
choosing
five
years
as
the
number
I
wanted
to
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
internal
conversations
that
we
have,
as
as
in
as
a
body
around
homelessness.
At
times
and
hearing
staff
say
you
know
this.
Q
This
problem
goes
back
to
2018
and
the
well
forgotten,
Natives,
and
and
and
that
that's
where
the
city's
approach
on
this
issue
started
in
in
this
specific
way
and
I
wanted
to
be
as
encompassing
of
that
as
possible,
and
because
that
is
a
pretty
significant
request,
giving
staff
until
the
the
spring
of
next
year
giving
them
that
the
full
six
months
to
be
able
to
come
back
to
us.
Q
With
this
information
and
and
having
spoken
with
other
bodies
of
of
government
that
we
move
this
work
with,
in
other
words,
nonprofit
partners
that
we
move
this
work
with
and
knowing
that
they
have
this
data
that
we're
asking
for
and
that
this
request
is
within
the
the
scope
of
any
person's
ability
in
the
city
to
fulfill
is,
is
how
I
landed
on
this
and
so
I
I.
Q
Think,
especially
because
it
sounds
like
the
will
of
this
body
is
going
to
to
land
in
a
place
where
we're
just
going
to
be
approving
Item
B
I
want
us
to
be
as
holistic
as
possible
in
getting
this
information
back.
Knowing
that
it
does
exist.
Q
Q
I
still
think
that
this
this
that
item
a
Falls
within
a
city
policy
to
direct
or
a
piece
of
public
policy
to
direct
city
services-
and
you
may
disagree
with
that-
that's
totally
cool
you
have
the
the
you
get
to
make
your
choice
about
how
you're
going
to
vote
on
this
item,
for
whatever
reason
you
want
to
to
do
that.
So
if
we
can
just
if
it's
okay,
if
we
can,
you
know
move
forward
to
voting
on
these
items.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
would
suggest
we
call
the
question
on
item.
A
I
also
would
suggest
that
we
refer
all
of
the
rest
of
this
committee,
where
it's
clear
that
we
could
actually
talk
through.
All
of
these
various
requests
for
information
come
to
one
motion
that
we
would
ask
the
mayor's
off
office
for
and
we
can
stop
doing
committee
work
in
the
council
meeting
right
now.
A
Councilmember
Goodman
has
called
the
question.
However,
I
want
to
just
confirm
with
the.
E
A
B
Madam
president,
it's
my
understanding
that
the
motion
was
made
as
a
whole.
The
whole
motion
that
was
brought
forward
by
councilmember
shuktai
was
moved
and
as
part
of
moving.
She
then
separated
that
created
the
difference
between
what
is
a
and
what
was
originally
presented
as
a
dependent
clause.
B
they
become
separate
motions.
I
turned
to
the
city
attorneys
to
confirm
this
position,
but
a
has
been
deemed
to
be
outside
of
the
council
ultravirus
to
the
council's
power.
It's
not
within
a
legislative
function.
This
is
not
a
moratorium,
as
the
assistant
City
attorney
just
explained.
B
This
is
actually
asking
the
executive
staff
not
to
do
its
job,
so
it
would
be
outside
the
council's
power.
There
wasn't
a
emotion
that
I
caught,
which
was
to
say,
are:
we
is
this
in
order
or
not,
it
was
to
vote
on
it.
Voting
on
it
is
a
bit
awkward
and
that
we
would
be
voting
on
something
your
attorneys
have
already
expressed
publicly
is
outside
of
your
power.
B
Nevertheless,
if
Council
wishes
to
take
that
vote,
certainly
it
can
do
so
option
b
or
second
question
we're
calling
B,
which
I
with
the
council
authors
approval,
put
into
the
chat
for
you
to
look
at
attempts
to
take
B
and
make
it
a
more
holistic
motion.
That's
what's
in
front
of
the
body
right
now,
as
I
understand
it,
council,
member,
if
I,
can
be
so
bold
as
to
go
a
step
further
outside
what
you
asked.
I
did
consult
the
attorneys.
There
are
three
proposals
here.
B
All
of
them
relate
to
the
same
subject:
they're
all
asking
for
data
very
important
data,
it's
hard
for
us
on
the
fly
to
capture
that
some
of
them
are
written
in
ways
that
are
directory
directing
departments
to
do
something
instead
of
requesting
I
think
there
are
ways
that
we
could
reword
and
put
one
big
motion
which
I
was
attempting
to
do
to
take
from
the
shug
tie,
Part
B
the
pain
and
the
Chavez
motions
and
create
one
large
directive.
That
says
we
want
all
of
this
data.
B
A
And
that
is
absolutely
on
the
table
council
member
Goodman,
so
we
have
before
us
councilmember
Goodman
call
for
the
question
all
in
favor
say:
aye
any
opposed.
A
That
item
carries
and
we
will
now
move
to
voting
on
councilor
Chuck
ties
proposal.
First
item
a
and
now
I
see
it
councilmember
Chavez.
Thank
you.
S
A
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Are
there
any
other
comments.
F
When
you
call
the
question
that
means
take
the
vote,
it
doesn't
may
not
have
more
speakers,
so
the
only
Vote
or
the
only
question
could
be.
Are
we
voting
on
the
chairs
motion
to
rule
it
out
of
order?
Are
we
voting
on
council
member
chug
ties
motion
to
move
it
forward,
I'm,
okay,
with
either
one,
but
someone
in
leadership
should
say
what
we're
voting
on
once.
You
call
the
question.
That
means
there's
no
more
discussion.
B
S
C
B
Council
member
vetoth,
no
council,
member
rainville,
oh
council,
member
Goodman,
no
council,
member
wansley,
aye
councilmember,
Johnson,
aye,
councilmember,
Osman,
aye,
council,
member
Payne,
aye
council,
member
Koski,
aye
council,
member
shuktai,
aye
council,
member
Chavez,
all
right
council
member
Ellison
aye.
Vice
president
palmisano.
C
A
That
item
carries,
and
our
next
piece
of
business
is
a
motion
from
councilmember
Payne.
I
You,
madam
president,
yeah
as
I
said
well
for
the
impacted
parties.
We've
had
a
pretty
robust
discussion
about
this
I
very
much
I'm
interested
in
what
the
right
way
to
say
to
ask
or
request
of
the
mayor
some
of
these
policy
Provisions
but
I'm,
happy
to
take
a
vote
as
written
today
and
continue
this
collaboration
going
forward
that
are
sleeping
in
the
doorways
tonight.
Let.
A
Please
we
have
a
motion
by
council
member
pain
before
us
and
I
see
Council
vice
president
palmisano
and
council
member
rainfield
Arkansas.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
you
know
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
let's
get
this
right,
let's
improve
how
things
are
done
here.
Are
we
doing
that
today
with
these
staff
directions
that
we're
trying
to
modify
on
the
fly
on
the
Deus,
where
many
of
us
have
not
seen
them
until
this
morning?
I,
don't
think
so.
C
Most
of
the
things
in
this
motion,
though,
surely
not
all
of
them
are,
are
done
today
in
encampment
clearings.
That
is
my
understanding.
I
know
that
to
be
true,
in
fact,
but
I
also
believe
that
operationally
that
this
is
operational
and
that
this
is
out
of
order,
so
it's
not
that
I'm
it
to
the
decorum
question:
it's
not
that
I
am
afraid
of
voting
on
something
it
is
that
excuse
me.
C
Can
we
have
Sensibility
it
is
that
I
think
we
need
to
come
forward
with
one
comprehensive
way
that
will
actually
give
us
useful
information,
instead
of
just
constantly
asking
for
more
and
more
information
which
takes
away
resources
from
working
on
improving
this
function.
So
I
do
believe
this
is
out
of
order
I'd,
like
a
ruling
from
the
attorney
on
whether
or
not
this
is
out
of
order,
and
then
it's
up
to
the
chair
as
to
whether
or
not
you
want
to
still
take
a
vote
on
it.
A
A
A
That
item
carries
and
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
on
council
member
Payne's
Amendment.
No.
B
C
S
Thank
you,
council,
president
Jenkins.
If
the
clerks
can
please
add
councilman
truck
trying
to
the
staff
direction
as
we
both
worked
on
this
together,
this
one
is
simple:
I'm
hopeful
that
this
one
will
advance
without
an
excuse
to
delay
and
help
us
with
our
policy
making.
Authority
I
was
at
the
Timberwolves
game
last
night
with
the
council
president,
and
we
talked
about
how
at
the
bare
minimum,
we
should
be
researching
these
studies
to
bring
recommendations
to
this
Council.
S
Their
staff
direction
is
directing
the
office
of
performance
and
Innovation,
and
the
race
and
equity
and
inclusion
and
belonging
Department.
That
will
help
us
develop
recommendations
for
non-police
or
minimal
police
involvement.
When
an
eviction
of
a
homeless
encampment
occurs,
they
will
consult
with
City
Department
staff
who
carry
out
this
work
community
members,
and
they
will
analyze
our
current
practices
and
include
best
practices
moving
forward
on
how
to
make
sure
that,
when
an
accountant
is
cleared
that
it
has
as
little
police
as
possible
or
to
extend
possible
no
police
at
all.
S
There
have
been
multiple
encampment
evictions
in
Ward
9
this
year.
The
number
one
emails
I've
received
are
how
these
evictions
are
conducted.
Police
officers
themselves.
Tell
me
they
don't
want
to
do
it,
especially
during
this
police
shortage.
Our
own
house
neighbors
deserve
to
be
treated
with
dignity
and
respect
and
I
want
to
let
you
know
the
emails
I
get
from
my
constituents.
They
tell
me
that
they're
on
an
8x8
black
radius
of
police
officers
with
yellow
tape,
thinking
that
something
horrible
has
happened.
S
They
deserve
to
know
when
this
is
happening,
how
it's
happening,
and
we
deserve
to
do
it
a
different
way
and
I
believe
that
in
this
body
we
can
do
that.
This
is
not
controversial
at
all,
or
at
least
it
shouldn't
be.
This
is
the
core
work
of
this
body
to
receive
research
and
recommendations
and
ultimately,
to
develop
policy.
S
A
Thank
you,
council
member
Chavez
see
that
we
have
in
Q
council
member
several
council
members,
starting
with
Council
vice
president
mm-hmm
I'm,
sorry,
starting
with
councilmember
wansley.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
member
Chavez
for
bringing
this
forward
and
also
highlight,
as
you
raise,
that
this
is
not
an
issue
that
we
became
aware
of
today,
nor
the
actions
that's
been
taken
by
councilmember,
Chuck
Tai
and
you.
This
has
been
the
ongoing
conversation
for
many
many
months.
So
no
one
should
be
surprised
that
we're
finally
taking
action
on
it,
and
that
said,
let's
take
action.
I
caused
the
question
and
would
love
to
support
council
member
Chavez
motion.
A
Council
member
wansley
has
called
the
question.
I
I
know
the
other
colleagues
who
wanted
to
comment,
but
by
Voice
vote
all.
D
A
Favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
hi:
can
you
opposed
that
item
carries
and
colleagues
in
front
of
us?
We
have
a
motion
by
council
member
Chavez
directing
the
office
of
performance,
Innovation,
race,
equity
and
inclusion
and
belonging
to
study
analyze.
E
C
A
That
item
carries
and
the
next
motion
before
us-
that's
it
on
our
emotions,
related
to
encampments.
G
You
so
much
Madam
president
I
just
want
to
thank
again
my
colleagues
for
helping
us
to
stop
at
least
playing
whack-a-mole
with
people's
lives.
G
G
So
I
would
like
to
work
with
my
colleagues,
at
least
for
the
next
Cycle
City
Council
cycle
on
October
3rd
2022,
and
introducing
a
notice
of
intent
of
repealing
the
Minneapolis
code
of
ordinance,
title
12,
chapter
244,
Article,
1,
Section,
24460,
temporary
housing,
Pro
prohibited
as
a
next
step
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
just
not
Center
displacement.
G
I
mean
evictions
as
again
the
only
solution
to
supporting
our
unhoused
residents
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleague
who
understand
that
we
need
a
Humane
approach
to
our
unhoused
community
since
we
decide
to
not
take
that
action
up
in
a
thoughtful
way
today.
So
I
just
want
to
note
that
for
our
future
council
member.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
wanted
to
make
a
brief
announcement
about
elections,
which
I
know
might
seem
a
little
bit.
You
know,
given
the
intense
discussion
really
important
discussion
we've
been
having,
but
elections
are
also
important
and
we
we
here
at
the
cineapolis.
H
We
we
run
the
elections
within
the
city,
our
Department's
due,
and
they
do
a
tremendous
job
and
so
I
wanted
to
say
there
are
just
19
days
left
until
election
day
and
according
to
the
most
recent
reports,
our
election
team
has
served
more
than
28
000
Minneapolis
residents.
That's
about
12
percent
of
all
registered
voters
within
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
that's
19
days
before
we
even
hit
election
day
and
so
really
proud
of
that
work.
H
We
know
that
elections
matter
and
this
year
is
significant
because
of
this
is
the
most
recent
election
after
redistricting.
That
means
every
single
State
office
is
on
the
ballot
and-
and
you
know
that's
that's
that's
important,
and
so
here
in
Minneapolis
you
know
we
do
a
phenomenal
job.
We
make
sure
that
we
turn
out
the
vote,
but
we
can't
take
it
for
granted
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
the
elections.
H
Team
again
for
all
that,
they've
done
and
then
real
quickly,
I'll
just
say
you
know:
we've
gone
over
this
information
before,
but
the
yearly
vote
Center
is
in
Northeast
Minneapolis.
H
Oh
man,
I
had
the
address
right
in
front
of
me,
but
I'm
I'm,
I'm,
I've
lost
it,
but
Google
the
early
vote
Center
and
go
there
I.
That's
my
favorite
place
to
vote
and
it's
open
every
weekday,
8
A.M
to
4
30
p.m.
So
folks
get
out
there
and
vote
we've
got
19
days.
H
Left
I'll
leave
my
comments
there
for
now,
but
just
wanted
to
make
sure
folks
know
and
that
we
keep
this
on
our
radar
and
and
again
to
thank
our
team
at
the
early
vote
Center
in
the
in
the
elections
department
and,
of
course
it's
going
to
be
a
big
production
on
Election
Day.
So
that's
all
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
time.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Ellison,
just
for
edification
Mr
Clark.
Can
you
provide
the
address
to

F
F
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Goodman
and
yeah
I
noticed
that
that
email
came
in
as
we
were
deliberating
in
our
council
meeting
and
didn't
have
a
chance
to
read
it,
but
I
Am
Lord
that
minimum
five
of
those
projects
are
deeply
impacting
the
the
eighth
Ward,
with
several
others,
adjacent
to
the
eighth
War
I
I'm,
just
incredibly
floored
at
this
moment
and
and
grateful
for
that
opportunity,
though,
we
know
that
there
is
significantly
more
investment
that
is
needed
and
necessary
in
those
corridors
and
really
pleased
to
hear
the
Investments
that
are
happening
along
West
Broadway
as
well.
A
I
think
those
are
significant
public
private
investments
in
helping
our
community
recover
from
the
devastating
impacts
of
the
murder
of
George
Floyd,
as
well
as
the
the
global
pandemic
and
I
see
Nixon
Q
as
councilmember
wansley.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
give
major
thanks
to
everyone.
Who's
part
of
the
municipal,
snow
and
ice
removal
study
session
yesterday,
council,
member
and
pwi,
chair,
Andrew,
Johnson
who's
walked
out,
can
give
him
his
flowers
now,
but
just
wanted
to
give
him
also
major
thanks
for
pulling
it
together,
along
with
our
public
work
staff.
We
have
so
many
partners
and
residents
in
the
room
and
we're
able
to
have
a
productive
discussion
about
the
historic
and
current
state
of
snow
removal,
especially
since
winter
is
coming.
G
It's
a
continued
developing
plans
that
will
move
us
towards
a
program
that
ensures
every
single
resident
can
move
safely
around
our
city,
all
winter
long.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
major
shout
out
to
our
Public
Works
team
and
council
members
for
making
that
happen.
Look
forward
to
the
next
steps.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
wansley
and
I
guess
just
one
more
announcement
before
we
close
out
and
just
learned
that
today
is
council
member
Ellison's
birthday.
G
A
On
black
I
would
wholeheartedly
support
that
and
offer
happy
birthday
to
you
as
well
council
member
Chavez
I've
heard
this
body
sing
happy
birthday
before.
D
D
A
O
A
Jeremy
happy.
A
S
The
things
that
councilman
Goodman
said
are
are
great,
very
great
Investments
that
are
coming
into
our
community
I.
Also
just
want
to
thank
representative
Noor.
He
carried
that
legislation
at
the
state
capitol
I
actually
was
his
Legislative
Assistant
throughout
the
entire
process
and
served
as
a
CLA
for
the
committee
that
helped
pass
this.
So
it's
just
very
amazing
to
see
that
this
money
is
coming
back
into
these
important
cultural
corridors.
It
would
be
remiss
to
say
that
without
his
leadership,
you
also
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
it
too.
A
It
it
takes
a
village.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
announcement
and
with
that
we've
completed
the
regular
items
on
our
agenda
and
will
now
consider
the
request
for
a
closed
session,
which
is
for
two
litigation
matters.
As
listed
on
the
agenda.
Jamal
Samaha
attil
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I'm,
sorry
at
all,
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
nakima
Levy
Armstrong
at
all
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
At
all.
L
Jenkins,
council
members,
the
next
items
on
our
agenda
are
the
cases
of
Jamal
Samaha
at
all
versus
City
of
Minneapolis
at
all
and
nikima
Levy
Armstrong
at
all
versus
City
of
Minneapolis.
At
all,
these
cases
are
in
active
litigation
in
federal
court.
Your
attorneys
wish
to
discuss
with
the
council
litigation
strategy
and
or
settlement
possibilities.
L
Accordingly,
under
the
Minnesota
open
meeting
law,
Minnesota
statutes,
section
13d05,
subdivision,
3B,
the
council
May
upon
a
proper
motion,
close
the
meeting
for
the
purposes
of
attorney-client
communication.
In
considering
the
motion,
the
council
should
weigh
the
right
of
the
public
to
know
what
the
government
is
doing
against
the
need
of
the
city
to
preserve
the
confidentiality
of
its
discussions
with
its
attorneys.
A
Thank
you,
madam
City
attorney,
and
with
that
I
move
that
our
public
meeting
be
closed
as
authorized
under
the
provisions
of
the
open
meeting
law,
specifically
Minnesota
statute,
section
13,
D,
.05,
subdivision
3B
for
the
purpose
of
discussing
the
litigation
matters
of
Jamal
sama
at
all
versus
City
of
Minneapolis
at
all
and
nakima
Levy
Armstrong
at
all
the
City
of
Minneapolis
at
all,
with
the
city
attorney
Mayhem,
a
second
to
that
motion.
Second,
we
have
a
proper
motion
and
second
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll
council.
B
D
B
A
That
carries
we
will
now
close
the
public
portion
of
our
meeting
and
convene
in
closed
session
for
the
viewing
public.
I
will
note
that
the
broadcast
of
this
meeting
will
continue
and
the
council
will
reconvene
in
public
after
we
have
concluded
the
closed
session.
We'll
also
note
that
councilmember
Johnson
left
to
attend
a
ward
meeting
in
Ward
12..
Thank
you
very
much,
and
we
will
see
you
when
we
return.
A
A
R
I
A
And
thank
you.
Mr
clerk,
we
do
have
a
quorum
and
I
will
call
on
Council
vice
president
to
bring
forward
a
motion.
A
A
Is
there
any
discussion
clerk?
Please
call
the
world.
