That
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum,
and
I
did
hear
from
council
member
rainville.
He
is
having
technical
difficulties
and
will
likely
be
joining
us
very
soon
before
we
take
up
business
manners.
We
do
have
an
honorary
resolution
to
present
this
morning
and
I
will
now
in
invite
and
recognize
council
vice
president
palmisano
for
the
presentation
of
an
honorary
resolution.
G
G
I
think
we
all
know,
but
it
deserves
saying
again
that
especially
for
black
indigenous
people
of
color
and
transgender
women,
the
barriers
to
equity
in
our
society
are
great.
The
pandemic
has
made
this
even
worse
and
there's
still
a
lot
to
be
done.
G
And
whereas
women's
history
month
acknowledges
and
honors
numerous
past
and
present
educators,
scientists,
activists,
pioneers
leaders,
artists,
inventors
entrepreneurs
and
elders
with
special
ceremonies
and
activities.
And
whereas
on
march
10th,
we
will
celebrate
international
women's
day
with
the
theme
break,
the
bias
which
imagines
a
gender
equal
world
free
of
bias,
stereotypes
and
discrimination.
B
And
whereas
women
employees
make
up
approximately
31.5
percent
of
the
city
of
minneapolis's
workforce
and
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
leadership
strives
to
create
an
organization
where
women,
especially
black
indigenous
transgender
and
women
of
color,
are
equitably
represented
and
thriving
across
departments
and
roles.
And
whereas
to
support
women
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
enterprise.
B
Women
was
formed
in
2017
as
an
employee
resource
group
for
those
interested
in
the
advancement
and
empowerment
of
female
employees.
And
whereas
women
envisions
a
working
environment
in
which
women
employees
are
informed,
empowered
and
confident
in
their
access
to
the
resources.
They
need
to
accelerate
their
careers.
And
whereas
all
women
are
leaders,
regardless
of
their
formal
roles
or
leadership
positions.
B
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolve
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
do
hereby
commemorate
the
achievements
of
women
and
their
role
in
the
development
and
history
of
the
region
and
the
nation,
and
we
join
in
recognizing
the
annual
celebration
of
women's
history
month
past
this
day.
The
10th
day
of
march
2022-
and
I
am
so
pleased
and
proud
to
introduce
and
welcome
interim
director

karen
mull

share
a
few
words
on
behalf
of
the
women
organization
and
and
the
31.5
percent
of
women
who
work
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.

a
union
friendly
city.

A
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
would
like
to
pull
items
14
and
20,
and
also
motion
to
amend,
item
26.
O
Yes,
and
for
if
we
are
starting
with
item
26.,
there's
a
amendment
to
reflect
the
changes
to
the
title.
After
speaking
with
council
member
andrew
johnson,
I
would
like
to
change
that
title
to
expressing
support
for
workers
at
starbucks
who
are
attempting
to
form
a
union
and
urging
starbucks
to
agree
to
non-interference
principles.
O
Yes,
I
can
absolutely
share
that
with
you.
I
know
me
and
johnson
finalized
that
last
night,
so
I
will
have
my
team
also
forward
that
to
the
clerks.
B
Yes,
for
for
future,
we
we
we
do
need
those
for
the
public
record
and
as
well
as
council
members,
so
we'll
take
up.
C
B
I
I
I
misheard
her.
I
think
I
thought
she
said
14
through
25,
but
I
did
not
realize
it
was
14
and
25.
C
14
20
and
26,
and
if
that's
amenable
with
you,
madam
president,
is
understanding
the
change.
I
can
go
ahead
and
call
the
role
on
all
other
items
that
were
submitted
from
the
pogo
committee
except
items,
14,
20
and
26..
B
K
K
K
D
C
B
C
F
A
Sorry
that
I'm
a
little
confused
by
what's
going
on
in
the
chat
did
did
council
member
wanza
wallop
want
to
speak
on
this
item.
I
did
yes.
B
I
I
do
apologize
to
all.
I
thought
you
were
putting
your
name
in
the
queue
I
thought
you
were
just
making
a
message:
council,
member,
that
you
were
developing
the.
O
Thank
you,
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
as
some
the
person
who
pulled
these
specific
items:
item
14
and
20..
I
understand
that
these
are
workers,
comps
cases
and
I
know
they're
difficult
to
navigate.
I've
also
voted
to
approve
these
in
the
past
and
you
know
was
informed
that
the
city
would
be
obligated
to
pay
the
claims,
regardless
of
our
approval,
and
it
could
be
potentially
you
know
we
would
have
to
potentially
pay
a
higher
amount
than
the
proposed
settlements
if
we
voted
them
down.
O
That
being
said,
it
said
I
pull
items
14
and
20
and
we'll
be
voting
no
on
these
items,
because
I
find
it
very
disturbing
to
see
the
names
behind
these
two
items
as
these
individuals
have
a
long
history
of
public
document,
documentation
of
either
misconduct
that
has
led
to
the
city
paying
out
settlements
and
have,
throughout
their
entire
time
within
mpd,
fought
against
reforms
to
mpd
and
their
policy
changes
that
will
ultimately
help
increase
more
transparency
and
accountability
within
the
department.
So
you
know
I
support
workers
rights.
O
Hence
why
I
even
you
know
let
the
charge
to
you
know,
bring
these
resolutions
for
starbucks
workers
and
our
educators.
You
know
as
front
line
workers,
but
I
also
believe
that
you
know
we
must
also,
as
a
city,
prioritize
addressing
our
extensive
history
of
allowing
officers
law
enforcement
officers
to
engage
in
misconduct
without
any
type
of
reprimand
or
accountability.
O
And
I
know
the
mayor
has
sold
over.
You
know
authority
over
mpd,
but
this
is
a
opportunity
for
us
to
really
look
at
how
we
can
become
better
at
addressing
accountability,
accountability,
issues,
that's
leading
us
time
and
time
again
to
have
to
pay
out
millions
of
dollars
in
workers,
comp
settlements,
or
you
know,
other
settlements
where
you
we've
had
residents
who've
been
harmed
by
mpd.
So
I
wanted
to
give
that
context
for
why
I'm
voting
on
voting
no
to
items
14
as
well
as
20.
B
Thank
you,
council
member
and
I
do
apologize
to
the
clerks.
I
know
this
is
interrupting
a
vote
which
I
I
don't
know
if
I've
ever
seen
that
happen.
So
my
my
apologies,
do
we
start
the
roll
call
all
over
again
or.
C
Yes,
madam
chair,
it's
improper
to
interrupt
a
roll
call.
It
stops
debate
is
supposed
to
start.
Stop
stop
once
we've
started,
we'll
call
so
I'll
start
again.
Councilmember
koski.
D
D
Okay,
sorry,
I.
K
F
L
C
B
Item
carries
and
the
next
item
is
number
two
item
number
20
and
is
there
any
discussion
council,
member
allison.
A
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
I
just
want
to
appreciate
my
colleagues
who
who
are
taking
the
time
to
vote
against
these
these
these
these
settlements.
I
think
that
they're
generating
a
really
important
conversation
that
we
need
to
have
around
around
this
issue.
I
know
that
the
community
is
frustrated
to
see
these
come
through.
You
know
I
I
support.
A
I
voted
for
14
I'll
vote
for
number
20,
but
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
I'm
voting
for
these
items,
because
my
understanding
from
staff
who
who
who
I
trust
to
to
engage
on
these
issues,
is
that
we're
only
gonna
subject.
A
You
know
our
our
constituents
to
paying
larger
settlements
with
their
tax
dollars,
and
so
that's
the
only
reason
I'm
voting
for
these
items,
but
otherwise
I
think
that
the
the
the
the
calling
of
attention
to
these
items,
the
and
hopefully
generating
some
needed
discussion,
especially
with
the
state
where
state
law
changes
occurred,
that
are
making
us
sort
of
not
only
minneapolis
but
cities
all
across
the
state
us
are
subjecting
us
to
these
to
these.
These
payouts
that
are
are
turning
out
to
be
pretty
untenable.
A
You
know,
I
think,
that's
a
needed
discussion
and
I
think
that
it's
good,
that
these
items
not
go
by
at
committee
or
at
our
or
at
our
full
council
meeting
quietly,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
for
the
record
and
and
validate
the
the
the
nays
that
these
items
are
getting
even
even
though
you
know,
even
though
I'm
continuing
to
support
them,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
saving
taxpayers
money.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison.
I
put
myself
in
queue
just
to
echo
your
comments
and,
and
really
you
know,
affirm
that.
K
B
These
are
very
deeply
disturbing
items
to
have
to
vote
in
affirmative,
for
these
are
workers
from
the
city
who
have
in
many
instances
misused
the
the
city's
trust
and
has
resulted
in
in
costing
our
taxpayers
millions
of
dollars
in
in
damages
and
lawsuits,
etc.
B
However,
we
do,
as
council
member
wesley
warlow
buzz
stated
earlier,
have
a
value
and
a
commitment
to
workers
supporting
workers.
These
laws
are
a
part
of
that,
and
so
we
have
a
fiduciary
responsibility
to
try
to
limit
the
exposure
to
the
city
as
much
as
we
can
and
and
consequently,
as
you
stated,
councilmember
ellison.
B
R
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
sentiments
shared
by
you
yourself
by
council,
member
ellison
and
council
member
chug,
thai
and
others.
This
is
a
huge
concern.
R
This
is
borne
out
in
the
workers,
compensation
claims
and
other
legal
settlements
that
are
a
result
of
how
we
approach
public
safety,
and
this
is
something
that
I
want
for
the
public
record
and
for
our
community
to
engage
in
is,
let's
really
think
about
how
much
it
costs
to
approach
public
safety.
The
way
that
we
operate
at
this
time
and,
let's
think
about,
do
we
want
to
operate
differently,
and
I
think
this
is
a
moment
to
start
that
conversation,
especially
with
you
know.
We
have
these
workers
comps
claims
coming
through
almost
every
cycle.
R
We
have
a
closed
session
to
talk
about
other
legal
matters
almost
every
session.
Many
of
those
topics
do
have
a
component
of
public
safety
to
them
and
legal
settlements
associated
with
it,
and
so
I
just
want
this
to
be
a
start
of
a
deeper
conversation
as
we
engage
the
rest
of
this
term.
This
is
not
a
one-cycle
conversation.
R
B
F
K
F
F
S
C
B
We
have
one
last
item
related
to
the
policy
oversight
and
government's
governance
committee,
and
that
is
item
number

items
four
through

were
moved
forward
without
recommendation
by
the
committee,
but
I
will
move
for
their
approval
this
morning.
Item

is

With
that.
Madam
president,
I
move
items
one
through
seven
for
approval.
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
vital,
has
moved
this
report
for
approval.
I
see
council
member
payne
in
queue
for
discussing
disappointment.
R
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah.
I
wanted
to
speak
on
items
four
through
seven.
There
was
a
very
robust
conversation
we
had
during
committee.
We
had
a
really
comprehensive
presentation
by
staff
from
the
police
department
to
help
build
a
deeper
understanding
around
the
buy-back
program
and
carrying
on
from
our
last
agenda
item.
Is
this
theme
of
what
is
the
true
cost
of
how
we
approach
policing
and
one
of
my
issues
with
the
buyback
program?
R
I
am
a
strong
advocate
of
empowering
our
police
department
to
use
their
management
authority
to
determine
where
they
should
be
allocating
their
resources,
and
I
fundamentally
disagree
with
the
idea
that
private
dollars
could
have
some
sort
of
operational
or
tactical
impact
on
how
we
deploy
our
resources.
We
should
be
putting
patrols
in
hot
spots
as
needed.
C
R
Yeah
I'd
like
to
pull
them
so
that
I
can
vote
no
on
those
separately
from
the
consent
items.
B
Thank
you
and
note
it
council.
Member
wants
leewarda.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
also
just
want
to
echo
many
of
the
sentiments
that
council
member
payne
raised.
O
You
know
when
I
also
appreciate
the
presentation
that
mpd
did
about
the
buybacks
program
to
our
phs
committee,
but
what
was
very
clear
is
that,
yes,
the
cost
of
public
safety
is
very
unclear
right
now,
when
we
support
initiatives
like
this,
like,
for
instance,
when
officers
work
on
buyback
contracts,
they
wear
city
logos,
they
use
city
guns,
they
drive
city
cars
and
the
taxpayers
carry
the
liability,
but
there
is
zero
accountability
to
the
public
in
terms
of
the
functioning
or
discipline
on
or
that
they
should
be
beholden
to
while
they're
committing
or
you
know,
serving
out
these
jobs.
O
So
I'm
not
convinced
that
this
is
the
best
way
we
should
be.
You
know
addressing
many
of
our
public
safety
needs
more
specifically
on
item
seven,
I'm
also
not
convinced
that
the
did
initiative
is
reducing
violent
encounters
with
law
enforcement.
O
That
is
not
criminalizing
homelessness
and
that
is
actually
providing
needed
social
services
rather
than
just
over
policing
black
and
brown
people
again,
I
think
there's
lots
of
confusion
still
about
the
role
of
this
initiative,
this
program,
not
just
for
me
but
for
the
public,
and
I
would
like
to
work
with
my
colleagues
I
plan
to
work
with
my
colleagues,
especially
in
phs,
so
we
can
further
clarify
you
know:
differences
between
the
buyback
programs,
but
especially
off-duty
work.
O
So,
while
I
have
concerns
about
the
buy-back
program,
I
did
learn
that
it
has
some
standardized
and
somewhat
transparent
processes
that
is
not
extended
to
off-duty
work,
and
this
is
why
I'm
looking
forward
to
at
least
bringing
a
presentation
forward
in
collaboration
with
our
phs
leaders,
on
how
we
can
extend
a
lot
more
transparency,
around
off-duty
programs
as
well,
but
I'll
be
voting.
No
on
these
items
too.
B
And
thank
you
councilmember
weinsley
royal
band.
Thank
you
for
noting
the
distinction
between
buy
back
and
off-duty
work.
Council
member
goodman.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wasn't
going
to
say
anything,
but
I
think
that
there's
been
a
bit
of
misinformation
out
there,
and
so
I
just
have
two
things
to
say,
as
it
pertains
to
items
four
five
and
six.
If
the
city
wants
to
allocate
a
million
dollars
to
help
with
the
security
at
u.s
bank
stadium
as
a
requirement
that
the
vikings
and
other
concerts
have
to
bring
those
events
to
minneapolis,
feel
free
to
add
it
to
the
budget.
M
For
me,
I
rather
have
them
pay
for
that
level
of
security,
as
required
by
the
nfl
and
other
big
concerts
and
events
that
happen
in
that
location.
I,
for
one,
am
grateful
that
they're
actually
stepping
forward
to
pay
for
something,
because
I
think
bringing
big
events
to
the
city
and
having
professional
sports,
which
I
am
no
fan
of,
but
having
them
in
the
city,
makes
us
a
world-class
city
in
many
ways.
M
It's
not
the
only
thing,
but
it
is
something
that
is
important
to
a
segment
of
the
population
and
we
are
required
to
have
that
level
of
security
in
order
to
host
these
events,
and
so
I
think
the
fact
that
our
partners
at
the
sports
facilities
commission
paying
for
it,
makes
a
ton
of
sense
and
if
we
want
to
budget
for
it
and
send
them
over
to
meet
the
requirement,
feel
free
to
bring
forward
a
budget
amendment.
I'm
particularly
disturbed
about
this
allegation
that
the
downtown
improvement
district
is
simply
over
policing
people.
M
Maybe
there
needs
to
be
a
briefing
in
the
public
safety
committee
on
what
the
did
is
doing
we'll
start
with
raising
6.5
million
dollars
from
the
private
sector
to
be
clean,
green
and
safe,
they've
also
included
contracts
with
violence,
interruption
and
violence
prevention
organizations,
and
they
even
have
a
mental
health.
Their
own
mental
health
response
unit,
they've,
put
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
into
helping
people
who
are
unsheltered
downtown,
store
their
belongings
and
have
a
place
to
go.
M
The
downtown
council
has
been
a
leader
on
helping
homeless
people
in
the
downtown
area
for
at
least
the
past
five
years,
so
this
is
a
revenue
contract
with
the
did
to
support
part
of
their
summer
police
and
police
reserve
program.
That
is
very
multifaceted.
That
does
not
only
include
police
officers
but
includes
ambassadors,
as
well
as
others
who
are
working
downtown
in
the
area
of
mental
health,
violence,
interruption
and
violence
prevention.
To
ensure
that
the
downtown
that
almost
every
council
member
has
constituents
who
use
whether
it
be
work,
live
or
play
appreciate.
J
I
I
just
want
to
remind
our
our
fellow
councilman,
my
fellow
council
members,
that
if
there
is
not
this
extra
security
at
the
stadium,
the
department
of
homeland
security
will
downgrade
that
building
and
you
will
not
see
events
in
there,
whether
it's
viking
games
or
concerts,
it's
paramount
to
approve
this
contract,
and
I
want
to
echo
council
member
goodman's
statements
that
no
one
there
are
very
few
organizations
that
have
done
as
much
to
help
public
safety
than
the
downtown
council,
including
their
efforts
with
those
who
are
unsheltered
and
need
social
services.
J
So
what
we
do
need
to
do
is
pass
these
today
and
get
into
committee
meetings
and
understand
exactly
what
the
downtown
council
means
to
our
efforts
for
public
safety
they're
a
great
partner-
and
I
appreciate
them.
E
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we
had
a
really
great
presentation
in
committee
from
staff
around
the
buy
back.
We've
had
a
couple
of
votes
already
on
the
buyback
and
there's
been
lots
of
confusion.
I
thought
staff
did
a
really
great
job
at
presenting
to
us
the
different
versions
of
buyback.
There's
not
one
way.
We
use
buyback
in
the
city
in
many
different
ways
and
I'm
happy
that
we
use
buyback
with
a
multi-billion
dollar
stadium
owners.
E
You
know
these
big
sports
arenas
in
the
way
that
we
do
so
that
as
taxpayers,
we
don't
have
to
pay
for
additional
security,
that's
required
by
the
nba
by
the
nfl.
You
know
any
of
these
that's
required
by
beyonce.
You
know
if
we
have
concerts
here
in
minneapolis,
there
are
certain
measures
of
security
that
we
have
to
have,
and
the
buy-back
allows
for
that.
I
really
encourage
my
colleagues
to
vote
in
favor
of
this
today.
E
I
am
more
than
happy
to
have
additional
presentations
in
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
around
buy
back.
If
we
need
to.
I
support
the
work
of
this
and
I
I
hope
that
others
will
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
B
Thank
you
so
much
councilmember
vito
and
we
will
hear
from
councilmember
payne.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
fact
that,
within
that
presentation
it
was
I
I
made
a
very
clear
question
to
mpd
around.
R
Do
they
have
the
flexibility
and
the
budget
required
to
turn
on
overtime
in
the
in
the
cases
where
they
need
to
have
extra
folks
on
the
ground,
and
they
do
in
fact
have
the
budget,
and
they
do
in
fact
have
the
management
flexibility
to
do
that
outside
of
these
buyback
programs,
and
so
that
was
really
important
to
me
to
hear
that-
and
I
just
want
to
remind
ourselves
that
we
just
had
a
fairly
significant
report
of
the
aftermath
of
the
murder
of
george
flor
floyd,
just
presented
to
this
body
two
days
ago,
and
one
of
the
things
that
really
jumped
out
at
me
during
that
in
that
report
was
the
fact
that
there
are
the
systemic
problems
around
our
chain
of
command
around
our
policies
and
procedures,
and
there
is
a
a
a
huge
management
problem
that
predated
that
event.
R
That
made
our
response
to
that
event
fall
apart,
and
I
don't
know
that
we've
addressed
those
concerns.
Yet
these
are
systemic
concerns
that
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
dig
into
and
start
addressing,
and
I
don't
think
we
should
be
papering
over
that
fact
by
throwing
more
money
into
the
department
without
really
having
answers
to
some
of
those
chain
of
command
breakdowns.
R
That
happened
and
predated
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
and
so
I
want
this
to
be
a
moment
for
us
to
really
think
deeply
about
how
we
want
to
move
forward
and
making
sure
that
we
have
the
right
training
and
protocols
in
place
and
staffing
in
place
to
meet
these
needs.
And
I
don't
think
that
the
outside
dollars
are
helping
us
get
there.
B
F
K
F
F
F
C
B
That
part
of
the
report
carries,
and
next
we
will
take
up
items
four
through
seven.
Is
there
any
further
discussion?
I
think
we
discussed
this
pretty
pretty
broadly
and
intensely,
so
I
will
just
ask
the
clerk
to
call
it
wrong.
Councilmember.
C
F
K
C
Council,
member
rainville
all
right
council
member

F
C
B
So
that
portion
of
the
report
carries
and
we
will
when
the
report
is
adopted
and
finally,
we
have
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
and
the
report
from
that
committee
will
be
presented
by
the
vice
chair
council
member
koski.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
The
public
works

infrastructure
committee
is
bringing
10

Is
there
any
discussion.
C
K
F
C
B
That
item
carries
and
that
report
is
adopted-
my
apologies
council
member
chavez,
as
I
did
not
recognize
your
name
in
the
queue,
but
oh.
Q
No
thank
you
council
president.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
am
supporting
this
and
supporting
number
three,
but
I
want
to
work
with
city
staff
and
my
constituents
who
some
have
raised
concerns
that
they
are
struggling
to
pay
the
bill.
So
I
just
look
forward
to
working
with
city
staff
with
some
of
my
constituents
on
this.
Thank
you.

you

much
so

next
council
cycle.
The
next
order
of
business
is
resolutions
and
colleagues
there's
one
resolution
before
us
today,
which
was
presented
at
the
beginning
of
today's
meeting
honoring
women's
history
month
at
this
time.
I'll
ask
if
there
are
any
final
comments
on
that
honorary
resolution
listed
on
the
agenda.
B
Seeing
that
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
this
honorary
resolution.
F
K
F
C
B
Colleagues
before
we
move
to
the
next
item,
I
do
want
to
just
note
that
for
the
past
four
council
cycles,
we
have
had
a
resolution
honoring
national,
multiple
sclerosis
awareness
month,
and
this
month
the
ms
society
determined
that,
because
the
council
has
had
so
much
on
its
plate,
that
they
would
withhold
that
resolution
for
this
year.
B
But
I
did
want
to
just
speak
to
the
realities
of
multiple
sclerosis,
as
I
am
a
person
living
with
multiple
sclerosis,
and
there
are
nearly
1
million
people
in
the
united
states
with
ms
and
the
national.
Ms
society
makes
sure
that
everyone
has
what
they
need
to
take
back
control
from
ms
to
stand
strong
with
every
person
with
ms.
We
work
to
dismantle
racism
and
combat
discrimination
in
all
its
forms,
to
remove
barriers
to
equitable
outcomes
for
marginalized
communities.
B
B
B
Ms
society
is
here
for
every
person
with
ms
in
every
community
across
the
united
states,
and
there
is
a
very
active
and
robust
chapter
here
in
minneapolis
and
I
just
wanted
to
to
recognize
them
and
the
work
that
they
are
doing
in
honor
of
multiple
sclerosis
awareness
week
that
will
begin
on
march
13th
and
we
will
not
be
in
session.
So
I
wanted
to
bring
that
forward
today.
With
that,
I
will
return
to
our
agenda.
I'm
sorry,
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
council
member
ellison.
A
I
was
just
gonna
sort
of
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
what
you
were
discussing
as
far
as
ms
you
know,
my
mother
was
diagnosed
when
I
was
around
15,
and
so
I
know
that,
while
I
don't
experience
what
you
all
are
going
through
when
I
what
I've
been
able
to
see
her
persevere
through,
what
I've
been
able
to
see
you
persevere
through,
has
certainly
been
an
inspiration
to
me,
and
so
just
wanted
to
to
offer
that
solidarity
to
you
and
and
and
to
thank
you
for
for
bringing
that
up.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,
much
appreciate
it,
and
next
order
of
business
is
motions.
Council
member
chavez
is
bringing
forward
a
motion
related
to
the
hiawatha
maintenance
facility,
campus
expansion,
and
I
will
call
on
council
member
chavez,
but
I
see
council
member
johnson
has
put
himself
in
queue.
So,
let's
start
with
council
member
johnson.
N
B
G
Chair
it
was,
it
was
actually
for
the
previous
item.
I
do
have
something
I'd
like
to
say
for
this,
but
I
also
yield
to
council
members
chavez
so
just
keep
going.
It's
all
good
awesome,
all
right.
Q
Perfect
yeah,
council
president
jenkins
and
council
members.
I
want
to
begin
by
saying
that
we
are
on
native
land,
traditionally,
the
home
of
native
american
tribes
and
the
first
people
of
this
line.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
giving
me
and
my
community
the
opportunity
to
meet
and
discuss
the
future
of
the
roof
depot
site
here
in
the
ninth
ward,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
city
staff
that
has
gone
to
this
project
for
years.
Q
As
I
know
that
has
not
been
easy
at
all,
but
also
stating
that
the
community
I
represent,
it
has
been
just
as
hard
for
them
as
well.
People
have
lost
hope
in
government
have
felt
left
behind
and
uncared
for.
Why
is
it
that
when
we
always
ask
communities
of
color,
we
ask
them
how
and
why
we
have
an
opportunity
today
to
bring
back
happiness,
bring
back
joy
and
bring
back
so
much
hope
to
a
lot
of
people
and
in
their
lives.
Q
After
multiple
conversations
with
many
of
you,
I
made
changes
to
our
original
motion.
Part
one
relates
to
former
action
that
the
minneapolis
city
council
took
in
the
fall.
That
would
remove
the
training
facility
out
of
this
plan,
but
set
aside
three
acres
for
community
and
would
move
forward
with
the
expansion
I
am
receiving
that
motion
today.
So
we
can
bring
back
that
training
center
to
that
to
this
project
and
move
forward.
Q
My
hope
for
this
motion
is
to
work
with
the
east
phillips
neighborhood
institute,
the
public
works
department,
unions,
members
of
this
body
and
my
community
on
ways
that
we
can
move
forward
with
the
proposal
to
be
submitted
by
june
30th
2022
part
two
prevents
the
demolition
and
construction
of
city-owned
parcels,
which
are
the
seven
acres
that
my
community
deserves
a
shot
at
and
then
part
three,
the
last
part
of
the
motion.
I
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
members
of
this
body
about
repayment.
Q
Q
This
is
language
that
was
required
by
the
city
attorney's
office
and
cannot
include
at
this
moment
because
they
do
not
have
exclusive
development
rights.
So
I
want
to
make
that
very
clear.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
conversations
have
occurred
in
the
past
few
days.
Discussions
about
a
training
center.
The
council
took
the
training
center
out
in
the
fall.
Our
community
needs
to
bring
that
back,
and
that's
part
of
these
efforts
there
are
questions
about
remediation.
Q
Remediation
is
about
the
three
acres
of
the
land,
not
the
seven
acres
that
the
community
deserves
a
shot
at.
I
know
there
are
concerns
about
the
location
for
city
staff,
and
I
share
those
same
concerns,
and
please
know
that
I
will
do
everything
that
I
can
to
make
sure
that
our
workers
are
here
in
a
safe
place
and
are
committed
to
finding
that
location
with
them.
Q
But
I
want
to
be
very
clear.
This
project
has
been
shoved
down
the
throat
of
my
constituents.
They
have
not
been
given
a
shot
to
prove
themselves
cassie
holmes.
A
little
earth
resident
who
lost
her
teenage
son
to
a
heart
condition
that
is
known
to
be
accelerated
by
pollution
has
been
a
part
of
this
process.
Q
Q
Q
I
hope
you
all
give
me
a
shot
to
work
with
me
and
my
community
to
address
the
inequities
impacting
us
today,
and
this
may
not
be
enough
to
convince
some
of
you
to
vote
for
my
motion
today,
but
I
want
to
ask
you
all
to
give
me
a
shot
and
to
give
my
community
a
shot.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
east
phillips
in
this
neighborhood
three
blocks
away
from
where
this
project
is
being
proposed.
This
is
my
home.
Q
I
am
the
kid
from
the
east
phillips
neighborhood,
I'm
the
kid
whose
parents
cannot
have
access
to
health
insurance
and
do
not
get
the
medical
care
that
they
deserve
from
the
pollution
that
was
shelved
onto
their
bodies.
I
am
the
kid
that
played
on
contaminated
soil
and
eight
fruits
and
eight
fruits
from
my
backyard
filled
with
arsenic.
Q
Q
I
hope
that
all
of
you
find
it
in
your
hearts
to
work
with
me.
If
we
move
forward
with
this
today,
I
want
to
give
an
extra
thanks
to
councilmember
johnson
councilman
mccoskey
for
their
help
throughout
this
process,
and
I
want
to
thank
every
single
council
member
that
gave
my
community
a
shot
know
that
we
are
in
this
to
fight
for
a
better
life,
and
we
have
been
in
constant
communication
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
things
better
for
my
community,
the
communities
that
I
represent,
the
community
I
was
born
and
raised
in.
Q
I
believe
that
this
action
is
a
golden
opportunity
to
change
the
details
of
this
site
this
site
years
ago
should
have
never
been
a
place
for
this
project
to
be
built,
and
is
why
many
people
in
my
community
continue
to
fight
for
a
different
vision.
Today
we
can
either
be
a
city
that
turns
their
backs
on
the
years
of
cries,
or
we
can
do
something
different
on
this
site
built
on
a
green
zone.
Q
We
can
be
the
city
that
addresses
and
meets
the
needs
of
community
making
decisions,
and
we
can
work
in
good
faith
with
community
members.
Our
public
works
department,
our
unions,
all
our
council,
members
and
the
mayor
to
make
sure
that
we
can
come
up
with
a
compromise
that
benefits
the
community
members
that
I
represent.
Q
B
Thank
you,
council
member
chavez,
and
I
will
next
give
the
floor
to
councilmember
johnson.
G
Thank
you.
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
councilmember
chavez
and
others.
G
You
know
this
is
a
pretty
complex
thing
and,
as
I
worked
with
spoke
with
council
member
chavez
in
this
office
last
week,
I
I
tried
to
appreciate
where
he
was
at
and
also
understand
that
we
can't
go
back
and
re-take
take
votes
from
the
past
that
we
just
didn't
like
the
outcome
of
before.
I
was
on
the
losing
side
of
this
vote
in
the
past,
but
we
really
need
to
move
on
or
we
haven't
done.
G
G
There's
been
so
much
discussion
and
competing
potential
substitute
motions
here.
I
just
think
we
could
have
a
much
better
motion
in
two
weeks
time,
one
that
we
would
involve
the
public
works
department
in
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
staff
are
included
in
a
measure
such
as
this.
G
We
need
to
make
sure
that,
if
we're
we're
not
successful
by
june
30th
that
we
don't
go
back
to
square
one,
that
we
go
back
to
the
prior
motion
that
council
member
ellison
brought
last
fall,
staff
has
said
very
clearly
that
they
otherwise
would
need
to
cut
programs
or
do
a
massive
property
increase
for
this
specific
project,
and
I
think
that
the
author
deserves
and
the
community
needs
a
better
answer
than
that.
I
think
we
could
be
working
together
to
provide
better
language.
G
I
would
like
to
propose
a
singular
comeback
in
two
weeks
time
at
our
next
meeting,
with
some
kind
of
language
that
everybody
could
agree
on
and
with
clarity.
You
know,
I
think,
there's
a
tremendous
lack
of
clarity
about
what
the
intent
is
to
fill
the
14
million
hole
in
our
budget.
There's
a
lack
of
clarity
about
rescinding
the
previous
action
without
having
an
alternative.
G
I
just
think
that
we
could
all
benefit
and
be
more
comfortable
in
our
positions,
whatever
they
are
if
for
a
two
week
delay,
so
I
would
like
to
propose
a
short
one
cycle
delay
so
that
we
can
all
have
conversations
at
a
normal
speed.
Instead
of
a
flurry
of
last
minute
phone
calls,
I
did
send
that
motion
to
the
clerks.
It's
just
a
basic
motion
to
encourage
a
one-cycle
delay
to
this
project.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
parmisano,
and
so
we
now
have
a
alternative
motion
or
substitute
motion.
I
believe
in
front
of
us.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
substitute
homicidal
motion?
N
Johnson,
thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
do
not
support
a
delay
on
this
first.
I
want
to
just
clarify
for
the
record,
something
the
previous
speaker
said
is
that
we
can't
go
back
and
take
votes
on
things
that
have
already
happened.
That
is
factually
incorrect.
That
might
be
her
opinion,
but
in
fact
we
do
have
a
new
majority
of
council
members.
N
The
previous
decision
that
was
made
on
this
item
happened
immediately
before
an
election
in
which
we
saw
the
voters
change
a
number
of
seats,
and
so
at
that
time
I
remember
talking
with
colleagues
and
suggesting
we
hold
off
on
making
that
decision.
N
Late
last
fall
because
of
the
election,
because
we
would
have
a
number
of
new
council
members,
including
a
new
council
member
for
ward,
and
that
such
a
big
vote
shouldn't
be
taken
immediately
before
the
election
on
a
controversial
topic
now
that
vote
still
proceeded,
but
I
certainly
do
think
it
is
appropriate
for
the
council
to
consider
this
matter,
especially
looking
back
at
that
vote
that
both
it
was
a
6,
7
or
7
6
rather
decision
and
as
well,
that,
I
think
probably
one
of
the
key
elements
that
council
members
and
community
members
wanted.
N
A
training
center
was
not
included
as
a
result
kind
of
of
last
minute
emotions
around
this.
I
also
disagree
with
the
notion
that
you
know
somehow.
This
is
a
last
minute
thing.
This
has
been
something
that
I
know
council
member
chavez
has
talked
with
every
single
council
member
before
being
elected
as
we
got
to
know
one
another,
and
it's
something
that
has
been
out
noticed
on
our
last
agenda
from
two
weeks
ago.
N
There
have
been
conversations
with
public
week,
works
leadership
before
that,
even
and
so
there's
been
extensive
conversation
and
it's
only
in
maybe
the
last
18
hours
or
even
less
than
that
that
I've
suddenly
heard
this
notion
of
a
delay
coming
forward
at
the
at
the
last
minute,
and
so
you
know,
I
really
question
why
we
would
do
that
when
it
doesn't
ultimately
affect
the
fundamental
question
at
play
here,
which
is
whether
or
not
this
community
should
have
an
opportunity
to
do
their
due
diligence
over
the
roof
depot
building
and
their
vision,
ultimately
that
they
have
brought
forward
around
utilizing
and
repurposing
that
building
for
an
urban
farm.
N
They
have
never
in
the
last
eight
years
had
that
opportunity,
because
the
council
has
always
rammed
through
the
plan
for
public
works.
Now
I
also
have
to
say
this
is
a
needed
facility,
a
water
yard
facility
for
public
works.
It
absolutely
is,
as
is
the
training
center.
There
are
also
multiple
other
sites
that
would
be
suitable
for
both
the
water
yard
and
for
the
training
center
as
well.
N
We
are
not
asking,
though,
to
rule
out
the
water
yard
or
the
training
center
at
this
site,
in
fact,
council
member
chavez's
motion
which,
by
the
way
big
credit
to
council
member
koski
for
really
bringing
forward
this
compromise
motion
or
that
changes.
The
amendments
to
this,
the
the
beauty
of
the
motion
is
that
it
actually
allows
in
parallel
public
works,
because
it
does
not
actually
pause
planning.
It
just
says
demolition
or
construction
on
the
site
itself.
It
does
not
cause
planning
efforts
for
public
works
to
continue
working
in
parallel.
N
It
does
not
rule
out
public
works
in
the
future,
from
having
either
the
water
yard
or
the
training
facility
or
the
stores
building
on
that
site.
But
what
it
does
do
is,
in
importantly,
rescinding
that
previous
action,
it
opens
up
the
door
for
the
community
to
really
have
the
opportunity
to
do
their
due
diligence.
I'd
like
to
speak
for
the
community
to
the
community
for
a
moment
on
this,
because
I
expect
today
most
likely
that
the
council
will
approve
council
member
chavez's
motion.
N
But
that
said,
that's
what
we
need
by
june
30th
from
the
community,
I
believe
in
the
community.
I
believe
that
the
community
can
pull
that
together,
but
if
that
does
not
happen,
all
options
are
on
the
table
for
public
works
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
with
this
site,
including
option
a
which
would
have
the
training
facility
and
the
stores
facility
as
part
of
this
project,
and
so
you
know
we
this.
This
is
an
important
moment
for
the
community,
I
believe
in
the
community.
N
I
believe
the
community
should
have
this
opportunity
for
the
first
time
on
this
site,
and
I
also
know
that
if
this
plan
cannot
materialize,
if
there
is
not
a
viable
path
forward
for
this
incredible
vision
from
the
community
that
we
really
do
need
to
at
that
point,
move
forward
with
a
public
works
facility.
N
So
that
would
be
my
encouragement
to
the
community
is
really
to
focus
on
on
getting
a
comprehensive,
viable
plan
together.
I
will
also
just
wanted
to
express
a
lot
of
gratitude
to
council
member
chavez
for
all
of
his
leadership
on
this
and
again
to
the
community
for
continually
standing
up
and
advocating
here,
rather
than
being
told,
what's
gonna
happen
to
them,
which
seems
to
be
the
case
over
and
over
again
really
standing
up
and
saying
that
they
have
a
dream
for
this
site
and
pursuing
that
dream.
N
So
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
please
vote
down
this
motion
to
delay.
I
don't
think
it
actually
changes
anything
about
the
fundamentals
here,
which
is
really
should
the
community
have
this
opportunity
around
due
diligence.
There
is
not
any
sort
of
new
information
we're
working
with
here.
This
motion
has
been
effectively
out
for
the
last
two
weeks
in
the
amendments
today,
based
off
of
feedback.
The
council
member
shop
has
heard
from
you
are
just
adding
some
additional
clarity.
N
It
doesn't
ultimately
change
what
has
been
in
front
of
us
for
two
weeks
and
has
not
changed
the
conversation
that
has
been
going
on
much
longer
than
that
for
many
of
you
for
months
for
some
of
us
eights
plus
years.
So
please
stand
with
the
community
in
this
important
moment
and
give
them
this
opportunity
to
give
them
this
shot
today.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
johnson
and
councilmember
weinsley
warlowbot
is
next.
Thank
you
and
I
do
just
want
to
know.
Council
member,
I
wasn't
intentionally
trying
to
overlook
you
but,
as
you
know,
our
colleagues
sort
of
traded
spaces
and
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
So
now
it's
your
turn.
O
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
clarification.
Madam
president,
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
and
just
extend
the
utmost
gratitude
to
council
member
chavez
for
bringing
this
motion
forward.
Thank
you
to
council,
member
johnson
and
also
koski
for
acknowledging
that
this
project
comes
and
is
led
by
a
diverse
community
for
more
than
eight
years,
who
have
been
told
no
to
a
vision
that
actually
addresses
the
harms
of
racist
environmental
policies
and
actions
that
has
led
to
disproportionate
impacts
on
that
community
for
decades
now.
O
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
be
a
with
each
other
and
bringing
this
forward
before
us.
I
also
have
to
acknowledge
that
it's
very
disappointing
and
disheartening
to
hear
our
own
council
president
say
that
we
should
move
on
and
let
me
tell
you
for
a
community
that
is
largely
black
and
brown
and
indigenous
and
as
a
black
woman
myself
it's
hard
to
move
on.
O
When
you
can't
breathe
it's
hard
to
move
on
when
you're
you
don't
have
the
ability
to
step
outside
and
breathe
in
clean
air
without
possibly
getting
cancer
or
watching
your
kids
get
asthma.
Those
same
realities
that
apply.
I
also
know
this
in
east
phillips.
It's
also
extended
to
our
residents
in
north
minneapolis,
so
we
cannot
and
should
not
just
be
simply
telling
communities
that
have
faced
the
brunt
of
racist
environmental
of
actions
and
measures
in
our
city
to
move
on.
O
They
are
moving
on
and
their
efforts
of
moving
on
has
led
to
us
having
the
opportunity
to
pass
a
motion
that
pauses
demolition
on
a
site
that
can
also
further
exaggerate
existing
environmental
harms.
But,
most
importantly,
it
allows
us
to
set
a
new
president's
not
only
for
our
city,
not
only
for
that
community,
but
for
the
country
of
what
it
looks
like
to
actually
leave
with
a
green
new
deal.
I
also
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
comments
that
were
was
raised.
I
know
I've
been
contacted
by
staff.
O
I
know
I
heard
this
even
in
some
of
the
comments
from
vice
president
homicidal
about
this
choice
between
a
water
facility
and
how
that
relates
to
emotion
to
delay.
I
want
to
note
that
that
is
absolutely
false
choice.
We
do
not
have
to
choose
between
a
water
facility
and
poisoning
black
and
brown
neighbors
and
one
of
our
most
diverse
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
That
is
absolutely
a
false
choice.
O
O
So
we
can't
simply
just
take
the
state
facts,
state
value
statements
and
ask
for
more
time
for
communities
that
have
been
struggling
that
have
been
basically
dying,
basically
being
harmed,
withstanding
oppression
at
the
heels
of
the
city
for
a
number
of
years.
Now
we
simply
can't
just
say
less
have
more
time
for
this.
We
actually
need
to
act
and
take
initiative,
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that
right
now.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
engage
in
real
reparative
justice
through
supporting
this
project,
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
take
ownership.
O
This
is
not
a
statewide
issue.
This
is
not.
We
can't
deflect
to
another
like
a
private
business.
This
is
actually
an
opportunity
in
which
the
city
can
lead.
Nobody
can
solve
this
issue
of
environmental
racism
and
pollution,
nor
no
one
else
can
solve
for
us
how
we
can
better
address
climate
inequities.
This
is
the
opportunity
for
the
city
to
do
it,
and
the
community
has
been
patiently
trying
to
work
with
us
for
more
than
eight
years
to
do
that.
O
So,
let's
work
together
and
move
this
forward
instead
of
demolition,
we
need
to
be
moving
forward
with
supporting
the
eastfield
farm
project.
I've
received
hundreds
of
contacts
just
in
my
office
from
constituents
urging
me
to
support
giving
both
exclusive
development
rights
to
east
phillips,
east
phillips,
neighborhood
institute,
as
well
as
pausing
this
demolition.
So
the
community
can
do
what
they
need
to
do
to
further
present
a
plan,
because
black
and
brown
people
are
always
being
asked
to
present
a
plan.
They
want
to
present
that
plan
to
us.
O
They
just
need
the
time
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
by
pausing
suspending
whatever
the
language
we're
hearing
today
from
council
member
chavez.
We
should
be
doing
that.
I
also
want
to
give
a
credit
to
another
constituency
in
my
ward.
That
also
encouraged
me
to
support
this
today.
The
twin
cities,
medical
society-
I
want
to
emphasize
that
a
society
of
medical
doctors
reached
out
to
every
single
one
of
us
from
the
university
of
minnesota,
urging
us
to
support
this
effort
in
addressing
public
health,
harms
and
inequities
for
them
as
physicians.
O
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
weinsley
worlabon,
and
I'm
really
glad
I
put
myself
in
queue
earlier,
not
knowing
that
I
would
be
named
as
trying
to
delay
this
project.
That
is
not
my
intention
at
all.
I
think.
Maybe
you
were
misspeaking
when
you
attributed
those
comments
to
the
council
president,
but
all
of
that
being
said,
I
do
want
to
appreciate
councilmember
chavez
as
well
as
council
members,
johnson
and
koski
for
bringing
forward
this
this
motion
today.
B
It
it
really
does
help
us
to
to
to
try
to
move
forward
as
a
city
and
address
the
the
goals
and
commitments
that
we
have
said
are
at
play.
We
have
determined
that
this
is
a
green
zone.
B
B
Recompense
for
the
harms
that
have
been
done
to
to
this
community,
this
specific
community,
but
to
black
and
brown
communities
all
throughout
the
city.
You
know
myself
and
many
of
my
other
colleagues
last
week
attended
an
event
hosted
by
meet
minneapolis
and
we
were
all
provided
a
book
called
disrupted
yourself
and
we
have
to
disrupt
things
if
we
are
going
to
really
be
serious
about
addressing
climate
change,
if
we
are
going
to
be.
B
Concerned
and
addressing
environmental
injustices
if
we
are
going
to
live
up
to
our
commitments
as
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis,
those
aren't
just
statements.
Those
are.
We
have
to
provide
some
concrete
actions,
as
it
is
related
to
those
ideas
and-
and
unfortunately
this
won't
be
the
last
action
that
we'll
have
to
take.
I
also
want
to
just
note
that
you
know
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
really
brought
this
entire
conversation
back
in
2020
is
because.
B
The
entire
planet
was
infected
by
a
a
lung
disease
that
we
are
calling
the
corona
virus
and
it
has
had
several
variants
related
to
it
since
it
was
introduced
on
the
planet.
The
coronavirus
and
its
variants
impacts
people's
abilities
to
breathe.
B
We
saw
in
the
pandemic
that
the
the
people
who
were
most
deeply
and
traumatically
impacted
by
this
virus
were
black
and
brown
communities,
people
of
color
native
communities,
communities
that
were
already
predisposed
to
chronic
illnesses
as
well
as
deadly
illnesses
before
the
pandemic
hit,
and
so
we
have
to
get
serious
about
mitigating,
reducing
and
ending
those
harms.
B
We
have
to
con
we
as
a
society
as
a
city
as
a
community
begin
to
address
it.
We
can't
wait
30
years.
We
can't
even
wait
two
weeks.
We
have
to
do
it
now,
and
so
that
is
my
intention
today,
and
I
will
I
see
next
in
q
is
council
member
taski.
R
So,
thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
took
myself
out
of
cube
because
you
spoke
really
directly
to
what
I
wanted
to
say
around
declaring
a
racism
as
a
public
health
emergency
feels
good.
Recognizing
green
songs
feels
good.
That
translates
to
us
needing
to
take
some
really
confident
actions
to
recognize
those
those
value
statements,
and
I
think
that
council
member
chavez
has
given
plenty
of
clarity,
plenty
of
moral
clarity
around
how
we
should
be
moving
forward
and
I'd
actually
even
recommend.
B
C
Madam
president,
we
didn't
receive
a
second
on
a
substitute
motion
offered
by
council
member
palmisano,
so
unless
there's
a
second
there's,
no
need
to
go
further.
B
Is
there
any
discussion
allowed
beyond
that.
B
F
K
F
F
C
B
That
item
fails
and
we
are
back
to
the
original
motion
by
council
member
chavez.
I
do
see
council
members.
C
Madam
president,
if
I
just
could
interrupt
really
quick,
I
think
we
start
that
call
it
councilman
burkoski,
who
was
not
called
last
time.
Councilmember
payne
called
the
question,
and
so
I
think
if
we
start
with
councilman
burkoski,
she's
first
and
then
palmisano
and
chaptain.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
So
in
preparation
for
today's
vote
on
council
member
jason
chavez's
motion,
I
have
visited
the
site.
I
attended
community
meetings
and
on
multiple
occasions
I
met
with
council
members,
public
works
and
community
stakeholders.
D
In
all
of
these
conversations,
I
had
regarding
the
hiawatha
maintenance
facility,
campus
expansion
with
partners
both
in
support
and
opposed
to
the
project
layout,
as
is
every
partner
expressed
interest
in
a
training
center
being
included
in
the
plan
moving
forward,
but
the
project
layout,
as
it
does
not
included
as
is
now,
does
not
include
a
training
center.
The
training
center
is
a
shared
goal.
A
common
ground
and
a
training
center
would
be
a
valuable
addition
for
both
the
city
and
the
community.
D
We
need
to
take
time
to
revisit
how
a
training
center
can
be
part
of
the
project
layout
and
we
need
to
give
public
works
and
the
community
a
chance
to
work
together
towards
a
shared
goal.
This
gives
the
community
an
opportunity
to
revisit
this
item
and
come
back
to
the
table
with
multiple
options,
and
what
I
will
be
looking
for
at
the
end
of
this
pause
is
formal
proposals,
proposals
that
are
inclusive
of
both
finance
and
development
plans.
D
At
the
end
of
this
pause,
I
believe
we'll
be
able
to
make
an
informed
decision
and
proceed
with
a
clear
path
forward.
It's
my
hope
and
goal
that
we
will
all
come
to
the
table
and
work
with
the
east
phillips
community
to
support
one
of
the
most
diverse
and
disenfranchised
communities
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
D
Extensive
work
was
done
to
prepare
a
motion
on
this
matter,
a
motion
that
includes
a
structure
timeline
and
a
formal
ask
to
the
stakeholders
involved
and
an
opportunity
for
the
community
it's
time
for
us
not
to
reopen
an
old
conversation,
but
to
have
a
new
conversation,
and
that
is
why
I'm
going
to
support
this
motion.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
koski
I
and
I
do
apologize
to
to
everyone,
I'm
getting
a
little
mixed
up
on
the
queue
here,
but
I
think
councilmember
pamasano
was
next
to
you.
G
I
think
we
need
to
work
together
to
do
this,
and
I
appreciate
the
words
of
my
colleagues
here
today,
particularly
what
councilmember
koski
just
said,
and
let's
not
be
vague
in
what
we're
asking
for
by
june
30th.
Let's
add
in
the
kinds
of
metrics
and
specifics
around
fundraising
goals
that
we
would
need
for
this
project.
G
G
G
I
would
like
to
suggest
a
friendly
amendment
to
my
colleague
councilmember
chavez,
and
it
is
the
word
rescind
in
item
number
one
I'd
like
it
to
instead
suggest
that
it's
a
suspend
console
action,
because
if
we
work
to,
if
if
this
motion
goes
through
as
is-
and
it
is
rescinded,
that
means
that
if
this
does
not
happen,
if
we
don't
get
the
right
kinds
of
formal
proposals
by
june
30th
that
then
we
will
be
back
to
square
one.
Instead
of
back
to
council
member
ellison's
winning
proposal
from
last
fall,
I
believe
so.
G
C
C
So,
pending
the
return
of
a
development
plan
with
community
stakeholders,
which
was
the
new
language
underscored
by
june
30th,
if
that
doesn't
happen,
then
the
prior
action
council
action
2021a0817
would
be
put
back
into
place
so
rather
than
rescinding
and
eliminating
the
prior
action,
it
is
merely
a
suspension
to
give
space
and
time
for
the
development
of
a
potential
development
for
the
property,
in
partnership
with
community
stakeholders
to
be
submitted
by
june
30th,
and
before
I
close
off
my
mic
I'll
say
we
also
would
need
a
second
for
the
amendment
offered
by
council.
Q
B
Vice
president,
to
please
chair,
while
I
take
a
bio
break.
G
Yep,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
do
that
with
the
acknowledgement
from
council
member
chavez
that
he
doesn't
see
that
as
friendly
I'll
finish
up
my
own
time
in
queue.
By
saying
this
is
what
I
hear
as
I've
had
conversations
all
of
yesterday
with
many
of
my
colleagues
that
they
do
not
think
that
this
motion
should
put
us
back
at
square.
One
should
put
us
back
at
the
beginning
where
we
were
many
years
ago.
Rather
they
see
this
as
one
additional
opportunity
to
work
in
partnership
with
community
stakeholders.
G
P
C
The
chair
has
recognized
councilmember
shangtai
for
her
comments.
She
was
in
queue
unless
the
chair
wishes
to
move
forward
to
a
vote
on
the
amendment
changing
out
the
word
rescend
to
suspend.
C
I
did
hear
councilmember
chavez
asked
to
be
sure
that
the
council
president
was
back,
so
we
had
a
full
slate
of
council
members.
So
I
leave
to
the
discussion
of
the
chair
whether
we
proceed
with
the
queue
of
speakers
as
is
already
in
place
and
then
come
back
to
the
vote
on
the
amendment
before
us.
Now.
I
think
maybe
setting
aside
the
amendment
for
now
is
the
best
practice.
P
Yeah
you
know
I
I
think
I
wanted
to
speak
to
just
a
couple
of
things
that
I've
heard
so
far
today,
one
of
them
being
about
one
of
them
being
about
the
the
role
of
community
stakeholders
in
exploring
the
different
options
for
for
a
formal
proposal
to
be
submitted
to
us
by
june
30th,
and-
and
I
actually
I
have-
I
can't
remember,
like
a
lot
of
people
have
spoken
to
this
today,
exactly
where,
where
or
when
I
heard
this
just
about
you
know,
community
members,
you
know
we
shouldn't
put
it
on
them
to
come
up
with
a
proposal
for
us,
and
I
think
that
maybe
like
we're
failing
to
hear
what
council
member
chavez
is
trying
to
say
we're
failing
to
hear
what
residents
of
east
phillips
are
telling
us,
they
are
telling
us
loudly
clearly
consistently
that
they
actually
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
of
the
process
in
creating
a
formal
proposal
in
having
some
ownership
about
what
happens
in
their
communities
and
not
having
the
city
tell
them.
P
You
know
what
the
future
of
this
site
should
look
like,
and
so
you
know
I
just
want
to
come
back
to.
We
should
center
this
conversation
in
what
we're
hearing
from
the
people,
who
are
the
most
directly
impacted
and
then
from
the
from
the
the
council
member
who
who
represents
that
community
and
has
has
taken
a
a
really
active
role
from
what
I
can
see
in
engaging
with
that
community.
P
I'll
say
you
know
I
I
I
wasn't
raised
in
in
east
phillips,
but
the
but
I've
had
a
chance
to
engage
with
so
many
of
the
residents
who
live
in
east
phillips
and
so
many
of
the
residents
at
little
earth
talk
about
the
future
of
of
this
site,
and
the
thing
that
I
have
held
on
to
throughout
that
entire
time
was
a
fact
that
was
named
to
me
in
in
one
of
the
first
conversations
I
had
about
this
right.
P
It's
that
the
average
income
at
little
earth
of
of
the
average
annual
income
of
a
household
is
is
twelve
thousand
dollars,
and
that
sticks
with
me,
because,
though
I
didn't
grow
up
in
this
community,
I
was
raised
in
a
poor
immigrant
family,
from
like
from
for
the
entire
time
that
my
mom
has
lived
in
this
country.
P
She
has
made
12
000
or
less,
and
she
continues
to
to
this
day
a
year,
and
so
I
see
you
know
my
family
and
my
family's
experiences
reflected
in
the
experiences
that
east
phillips
residents
are
talking
about,
and
you
know
I
can't
turn
away
from
that.
I
can't
turn
my
back
on
that,
and
so
I'm
really
proud
today
to
you
know,
stand
with
the
residents
of
east
phillips
and
to
move
forward
with
this
motion.
I'm
excited
to
support
this.
P
I'm
really
thankful
to
council
member
chavez
to
council
member
koski
and
to
council
member
johnson
for
their
work
on
pulling
together
a
motion
that
really
balances
all
of
the
stakeholders
and
prioritizes
the
community
and
what
the
community
actually
wants.
And-
and
so
you
know,
I
I'm
just
excited
that
this
is
something
that
we
are
taking
seriously
as
a
council.
You
know
allowing
autonomy
and
agency
to
communities
that
are
marginalized
to
take
ownership
of
their
destiny
and
their.
H
P
So,
with
that
I'll
hand
it
back
to
it
looks
like
council.
President
jenkins
is
back
I'll
hand
it
back
to
her
so.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
council
vice
president
and.
C
A
Ellison,
thank
you,
council
president.
I
am
here
to
speak
to
the
main
motion,
so
I
I
I
can
hold
my
comments
or
I
can
make
them
now
but
but
yeah
I
was.
I
was
going
to
speak
to
the
main
motion.
C
Madam
president,
perhaps
the
easiest
way
is
if
we're
voting
on
councilor
palmisano's
proposed
amendment
is
to
clear
the
queue
scroll
to
the
bottom.
Ask
folks
to
put
their
name
in
if
they're
speaking,
to
and
I'll
ask
the
clerks
to
put
a
header-
and
it
says
palmisano
amendment
so
that
we
know
clearly
who's
in
queue
to
speak
about
what
and
we
just
restart
the
queue.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk,
and
I
do
think
that's
a
very
reasonable
solution,
and
so
we
do
have
a
a
proper
motion
and
second
in
front
of
us,
and
I
will
allow
discussion
on
that.
But
I'm
just
going
to
ask
if
everybody
can
put
themselves
back
in
queue
to
discuss
the
emotion.
N
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
agree
with
councilmember
chavez
on.
I
think
we
should
leave
the
languages
rescind
in
this.
This
is
the
legislative
function
in
terms
of
clearing
the
slate
so
that
the
community
can
explore
options
for
potential
development
of
this
property
and
bring
forward
their
formal
proposals.
N
I'll
note
that
the
council
is
going
to
have
to
act
anyways
because
of
once
those
proposals
are
in,
there
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
action
and
actually
by
rescinding.
It
opens
up
other
options
such
as
I
mentioned
around
the
training
facility
around
the
stores
and
so
really
puts
all
options
in
play,
and
there
would
have
to
be
a
vote
anyways,
and
so
I
think
it's
cleanest.
It
makes
the
most
sense
to
just
to
rescind
at
this
point,
because
it
again
provides
the
most
options
and
we're
going
to
have
to
take
action
anyways.
N
And
it
just
to
be
clear,
madam
president,
I'll
just
say
that
means
I
I
don't
support
councilmember
palmisano's
amendment,
so
I'll
be
voting.
No
on
that.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
first
for
public
record
share.
My
apologies
for
sharing
that
you
have
made
the
comment
about
moving
on.
I
just
want
to
yeah.
Definitely
my
comments,
were
you
know
referring
back
to
the
statements
made
by
council
vice
president
palmisano,
not
you
second,
in
supporting
you
know
the
sentiments
of
council
member
johnson.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
for
us
to
vote
on
parmisano's
amendment
and
just
for
us
to
take
the
vote.
B
So
council,
member
vito,
is
calling
the
question.
C
C
B
My
apologies
councilmember
vito,
and
we
now
have
a
motion
to
call
the
question,
and
so
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
a
role.
F
A
Mr
clerk,
I'm
sorry
to
create
another
mess.
I
I
do
think
council
members
are
confused
on
what
we're
voting
on
and
if
you
wouldn't
mind,
could
I
try
explaining
to
my
colleagues
so
we're
not
on
the
motion.
Yet
we
are
not
on
palmer's
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
mr
clerk,
but
we
are
not
on
councilmember
paul
masano's
motion.
Yet
we
are
currently
voting
on
whether
or
not
to
call
the
question.
A
F
C
F
C
B
So
now,
council,
members,
colleagues,
we
have
in
front
of
us.
B
C
B
B
To
change
out
the
word
rescind
to
sorry:
what's
the
new
language.
B
All
right
is
there
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion
by
council
member
palmisano.
C
K
F
C
Madam
president,
before
anyone
moves
any
further,
I'm
going
to
type
into
the
cue
original
motion
and
ask
that
council
members
please
sign
up
to
speak
after
that.
You
are
correct.
We
are
back
to
the
original
motion.
It's
on
your
screens.
It
was
on
the
agenda.
This
is
the
motion
pending
before
the
body
right
now.
It
is
the
motion
brought
by
councilmember
chavez.
Please
refer
to
your
screen.
C
If
you
want
to
see
the
most
current
and
active
version
of
that
that
is
before
us,
and
so
I
have
entered
into
the
queue
original
motion
as
a
place
to
restart
the
queue
for
those
who
wish
to
speak
on
the
original
motion.
L
I
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
think
that
I
will
echo
cosmetic
and
cousin,
palmisano
and
others
to
really
come
together
on
this
issue.
I've
been
here
a
little
longer
than
councilmember
travis,
not
that
much,
but
this
has
been
going
on
for
for
many
years
and
having
the
site
stay
empty
and
not
really
put
anything
that
can
benefit
our
community
move
forward,
having
an
empty
and
and
creating
a
problem
itself.
L
The
way
it
is
right
now,
as
the
last
reporting
presentation
we
received
from
the
staff
that,
if
it
stays
the
way
it
is,
then
it's
not
really
going
to
bring
any
any
any
benefit.
So
I
will
we
tried.
I
think
I
believe
councilmember
palmasana
try
to
figure
out
a
way,
at
least
to
give
us
a
couple
weeks
to
come
together
to
work
together.
L
We
had
this
conversation.
I
don't
know
about
a
few
months
ago
before
the
new
council
members
came
in,
and
we
all
remember
how
the
votes
end
up
six.
Seven,
the
popular
thing
that
anyone
want
to
see
is
what
is
the
benefit
in
the
community
moving
forward
in
this,
and
let's
be
realistic.
How
possible
will
this
be?
L
L
I
am
really
looking
forward
supporting
the
community
and
making
sure
what's
benefiting
the
community
training
center,
it's
something
that
would
definitely
benefit
many
minority
communities
that
live
in
the
area.
It's
the
jobs
that
are
new
to
this
community.
L
It's
the
jobs
that
are
usually
held
by
different
democrat
demographic
than
the
communities
that
live
here
at
training
center
is
ideal
job
creation
for
the
youth
for
this
for
this
future,
so
either
whatever
decision
we
make
today
or
or
june
30th.
At
the
end,
I
would
like
to
see
a
training
center.
However,
we
moved
I'd
like
to
see
a
training
center
for
for
the
benefit
of
our
youth
in
the
future.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
osman,
councilmember
ellison,.
A
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
wanted
to
put
myself
in
queue
because
I
I
I
was
supportive
of
the
direction
the
current
direction,
not
the
one
that's
before
us
now
last
term,
but
I've
always
been
trying
to
find
a
way
to
be
supportive
of
the
of
these
phillips
of
the
council.
Member
of
the
ward,
and
I
think
that
what
I
found
last
term
was
a
strong
inconsistency
from
not
from
the
community,
but
from
the
representation
of
the
ward
on
how
we
were
going
to
go
about
this.
A
What
we
were
going
to
do,
and
I
think
that
a
lot
of
my
decision
making
then
was
based
on
what
I
felt
was
a
strong
lack
of
due
diligence,
and
I
just
want
to
commend
council
member
chavez
for
being
incredibly
consistent
since
day,
one
getting
in
office
also
on
the
campaign
trail
and
not
only
stating
what
he
wants
to
see
happen
not
only
advocating
for
his
community
and
what
they
want
to
see
happen,
but
doing
the
the
really
unsexy
grunt
work
to
make
it
possible.
Here.
A
On
the
council
side,
I've
seen
the
community
show
up
for
this
project
and
fight
hard
for
this
project,
and
I
haven't
always
seen
that
energy
returned
from
from
ward
9,
but
I
think
we're
now
at
an
opportunity
where
we
have
a
ward,
nine
representative,
who
not
only
has
a
vision
of
what
the
community
wants
to
see,
but
also
has
a
vision
of
how
to
make
it
happen.
A
Procedurally
and
technically
here
on
the
council
side
of
things,
and
so
that's
going
a
long
way
with
me
and
feeling
and
increasing
my
confidence
that
this
is
a
possible
pathway
now
and
I'm
excited
to
work
with
councilmember
chavez
and
and
support
his
leadership
in
in
seeing
this
come
to
fruition.
I'm
still
gonna
be
a
stickler
for
due
diligence
as
we
head
in
this
direction.
I'm
still
gonna,
you
know
want
to
see
some
due
process.
A
I'm
gonna
want
to
see
a
little
bit
of
good
faith
shown
on
the
part
of
the
community
on
the
part
of
the
council.
I'm
going
to
want
to
see.
I'm
gonna
want
to
see
those
all
those
things
that
I
took
issue
with
last
term.
I'm
still
gonna
be
working
with
councilmember
chavez
to
make
sure
that
that
this
project
does
get
to
a
place
where
I
feel
like
I
can
support
it.
But
as
of
today,
councilmember
chavez.
A
Councilmember
johnson
council
president
is
asking
for
more
of
an
opportunity
to
to
to
vet
that
due
diligence
to
to
to
collaborate
with
the
departments
in
the
community,
and
I
think
that,
given
everything
that
I've
seen
from
my
colleagues,
I
am
feeling
more
confident
than
I
was
last
term
in
in
in
giving
time
and
having
faith
that
that
due
diligence
will
be
done.
And
so
all
that
to
say
I'll,
be
supporting
the
motion
here
before
us
today.
A
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison
kelly's.
I
do
want
to
just
really
note
that
I
am
very
cognizant
of
the
time
we
still
have
a
likely
fairly
lengthy,
closed
session
ahead
of
us,
as
well
as
a
training
by
the
office
of
emergency
management,
which
we
know
is
critical,
as
we
learned
in
the
after
action
review
that
we
must
be
preparing
ourselves
for
whatever
future
events
that
may
occur
in
our
community,
so
that
we
can
help
to
keep
our
communities
as
safe
as
possible.
B
E
K
F
C
B
And
our
next
order
of
business
is
new
business,
but
before
I
move
to
that,
I
see
councilmember
chavez
in
queue.
Q
B
Thank
you
councilmember.
We
will
now
move
to
new
business
and
we
have
one
item
today
related
to
the
mayoral
regulation
that
resends
the
re
resends
the
requirement
for
face
coverings
and
city
buildings
and
properties
recognize
the
city
clerk
to
explain
this
matter
for
the
body.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and,
as
you
noted
at
9
30
this
morning,
mayor
frye
lifted
the
regulation
requiring
mass
mandates
for
city
employees
and
being
worn
by
all
those
within
city
managed
buildings.
So
starting
at
9
30
this
morning,
employees
and
visitors
who
are
working
in
or
visiting
city
managed
facilities
and
properties
no
longer
will
be
required
to
wear
a
mask.
C
This
is
the
response
to
a
significant
drop
in
the
rates
within
the
city
of
minneapolis
of
covet
19.
Our
health
department
has
been
monitoring
that
very
closely,
as
has
been
reported,
and
as
of
march
1st.
The
rate
of
those
infections
is
down
enough
that
they
feel
confident
to
go
ahead
and
remove
the
mask
mandate
within
city-owned
properties
and
so
effective
at
9
30.
This
morning
the
mayor
had
rescinded
that
previous
mandate
for
wearing
of
masks
by
employees
and
visitors
inside
city
properties.
No
action
is
required
by
the
council.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk,
and
I
will,
on
behalf
of
the
council,
request
that
clerk's
office
receive
this
report
and
for
for
public
transparency,
and
we
will,
I
think
I
don't
see
any
opposition
so
that
regulation
is
received
in
five.
B
We
do
colleagues,
we
do
have
a
as
I
stated
earlier,
a
closed
session
today.
Therefore,
I
will
move
to
the
order
of
announcements
first,
so
that
we
can
dispense
with
any
announcements
before
the
closed
meeting.
Are
there
any
announcements,
council,
member
rainfield.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
let
my
colleagues
know
that
I
will
be
sending

C9,
I

B
State
that
we
have
a
request
for
a
closed
session,
this
code
session
includes
two
topics.
First,
is
the
litigation
matter
of
kathy
spann
at
all
the
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
mayor
jacob
fry
second?
Is
the
labor
relations
strategy
discussion
with
regard
to
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
the
minneapolis
police
officers
federation
unit.
S
Thank
you
because,
council
president
jenkins
and
council
members,
deputy
city
attorney
eric
nielsen
here,
the
city
attorney
jim
router
is
out
of
town
on
business.
There
are
two
matters
that
are
proposed
for
a
potential
closed
session
before
the
council.
Today,
the
first
as
council
president
stated,
is
the
matter
of
kathy
spann
at
all
versus
the
minneapolis
city
council
and
mayor
jacob
fry,
its
court
filed
27
cv,
20-10558.
S
It
is
a
matter
of
active
litigation
in
state
court.
Your
lawyers
wish
to
discuss
with
you
litigation
strategy
and
or
settlement
possibilities.
Accordingly,
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d,
0.05,
subdivision
3b,
the
council
may
upon
a
proper
motion,
close
the
meeting
for
the
purposes
of
attorney-client
communication
and
considering
the
motion.
The
council
should
weigh
the
right
of
the
public
to
know
what
its
government
is
doing
against
the
need
of
the
city
to
preserve
the
confidentiality
of
its
discussions
with
its
attorneys.
S
The
second
matter,
as
council
president
noted,
is
a
a
discussion
with
city
staff
and
attorneys
regarding
a
consideration
of
strategy
for
labor
negotiations
involving
the
minneapolis
police
officers,
federation
union,
the
consideration
of
negotiation
strategies
or
discussion
and
review
of
labor
negotiation
proposals
may
be
held
in
a
closed
session
pursuant
to
minnesota
statutes,
section
13.03.
S
In
order
to
close
the
meeting
under
this
section,
a
majority
of
the
of
the
council
must
vote
to
close
in
deciding
whether
to
close
for
labor
negotiation
discussions.
The
council
should
weigh
the
right
of
the
public
to
know
what
its
government
is
doing
against
the
need
of
the
city
to
reserve.
The
confidentiality
of
its
labor
negotiation
strategy.
B

the
open
meeting
law,
specifically
minnesota
statute,
section
13d,
.05,
subdivision
3b
for
the
purpose
of
discussing
the
litigation
matters
of
kathy
spann
and
all
the
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
mayor
jacob
fry
and
section
13d
point
three
to
discuss
labor
relations
strategies

B
That

and
we
will
now
close
the
public
portion
of
our
meeting

convene
in
closed
session
for
the
viewing
public

note
that

this

Colleagues,
with
that,
we
have
completed
all
the
items
on
our
agenda.
I
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
this.
This
extraordinary
time
in
minneapolis
history,
we
haven't
had
a
teacher
strike
for
almost
50
years,
so
on
this
day
that
we're
acknowledging
and
honoring
and
celebrating
women's
history
day,
I
want
to
just
really
acknowledge
that
many
women
are
deeply
impacted
by
this
strike
and
and
having
to
figure
out
how
to
to.
B
Produce
child
care
how
to
help
their
young
people
learn
at
home,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
and
while
we
certainly
respect
and
support
workers,
you
know
some
of
our
own
colleagues
on
this
council
are
experiencing
those
challenges
as
well,
so
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
really
once
again
encourage
the
mft
and
mps
to
really
work
as
hard
as
they
can
to
come
to
a
resolution
so
that
our
families,
our
children
and
and
our
educators
can
all
get
back
to
the
classroom
and
do
the
things
that
I
know
that
they
all
are
interested
in
doing,
and
that
is
supporting
our
young
people
with
no
further
items
to
come
before
the
council
today
and
without
objection.
