the
state
of
minnesota
to
adopt
an
ordinance,

a
domestic
partner
registry
and
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
been
steadfast
in
its
commitment
to
full
legal
equality
for
same-sex
couples
and,
in
particular
to
end
the
exclusion
of
same-sex

in

Our

Council.
Vice
president
andrea
jenkins
and
councilmember.
F
Grande,
madam
president,
council
members,
staff
and
community
what
a
great
honor
and
privilege
to
be
asked
to
accept
the
2022
pride
resolution.
It
celebrates
and
marks
50
years
of
demanding
equity
and
inclusion
pride
like
so
many
of
our
celebrations
started
as
a
protest
as
a
riot
against
the
tyranny
of
racism
and
transphobia.
F
I've
been
engaging
with
twin
cities
pride
for
25
years
and
in
fact
my
contribution
is
a
20-year
contribution
to
the
power
to
the
people
stage.
A
place
created
to
answer
injustice,
a
place
that
we
celebrate
and
recognize
that
people
of
color
in
the
lgbt
community
make
surmountable
and
great
contributions.
F
The
power
to
the
people
area
was
started
by
nick
metcalf
and
the
staff
of
the
minnesota
men
of
color,
including
myself,
adonis
rags
clay,
tom
thane
and
brandon
lacey
compost.
It
was
an
answer
to
this
racist
and
discriminate
discriminatory
act
that
happened
in
2000
and
2000,
whether
you
go
back
two
years
or
20
years
or
200
years.
F
H
I
chose
minneapolis
as
my
adopted
city
so
that
I
could
transition
in
a
safe
place
and
live
a
full
life,
and
so
far
it's
been
a
wonderful
second
home.
Things
like
this.
Give
me
a
lot
of
hope
for
the
future
of
this
city
and
where
we
can
go
from
here,
and
I
wanted
to
take
the
time
to
say
that
in
that
that
hope
I
stand
with
city
staff
and
I
fully
believe
that
addressing
racial
equity
is
necessary
for
all
lgbtq
plus
liberation.
D
A
Thank
you,
everyone
for
coming
down
to
accept
this
resolution
today
and
I
will
offer
my
own
happy
pride.
I
know
that
we
will
be
celebrating
in
the
park
next
weekend
with
a
parade
and
people
all
over.
The
country
will
be
commemorating
and
acknowledging
the
the
riots
that
began.
Try
pride
as
rox
anderson,
educated
us
on.

and
also
to
our

In
two
occasions
I
have
been,
and
I
have
seen
him
supporting
immigrants
and
two
events.
M
One
sponsored
events
in
boston
called
la
triste,
frontera
the
sad
border,
and
it
was
an
opportunity
for
organizations
who
were
with
immigrants
to
come
and
share
and
support
and
and
tell
us
the
work
that
they
did,
that

very
grateful

here.
M
I
really
want

of
the
I
will
say
one
of
the
really
key
agendas
with
the
immigration
related
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
which
is
making
minneapolis
a
welcoming
city
for
immigrants.
But
when
we
say
welcoming,
it's
not
just
say
you
are
welcome.
We're
gonna
have
programs
in
place
that
can
help.
M
Folks
who
come
to
minneapolis
feel
lie
home
and
most
important
and
another
initiative
will
be
recognizing
the
deportation
that
any
family
members
of
immigrants
as
an
emergency,
and
that
the
city
can
provide
assistance
and
services
to
those
one
who
are
left
behind
one
one.
Family
member
is
deported
and
again.
Thank
you.

was
believed

A
Peoples

news

entitlement

A
Continued
past
slavery
and
persists
to
this
day
disproportionately
affecting
the
physical
and
mental
health,
safety
and
education
of
black
americans.
And
whereas
the
current
state
of
disparities
is
in
direct
correlation
with
the
institution
of
slavery
that
continues
to
undergird
our
local
and
national
economy.

Since
come

be
known
as
juneteenth,
and
is
one
of
the
oldest
celebrations
in
america
growing
out
of
the
experiences
of
black
americans
and
their
enslaved
ancestors
and
is
a
celebration
of
the
ending
of
chattel
slavery
in

A
The
minneapolis
city
council
by
ordinance,
officially
declared
juneteenth
a
city
holiday
to
be
honored,
with
a
paid
date
off
for
city
employees
to

Now,
therefore,
be

2022
as
juneteenth
the
national
african
american
independence
holiday
in
commemoration
of
the
resistance
and
liberation
of
african
americans.
In
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
in
the
nation
be
a
further
resolve
that
the
city
commits
to
is
to
deepening
its
work
to
institute
policies
and
practices
that
will
repair
the
harm
experienced
by
african
descendants.
A
This
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
very
difficult
work,
and
actually,
I
should
be
more
direct.
This
is
a
continuation
of
the
struggle
for
liberation
for
black
liberation
that
has
been
in
effect,
since
african-americans
first
landed
on
these
shores
in
1619,
so
the
work
continues
and
I
know
I
am
committed
to
this
work
and
the
the
fact
that
all
of
my
colleagues
support
this
resolution.
A
It
infers
that
we
are
all
committed
to
ending
racism
and
sexism
homophobia,
transphobia.
A
And
all
the
impacts
of
other
isms
in
our
society,
and
with
that
we
will
return
to
our
regular
agenda
and
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
forum.
N
N
A
The
agenda
before
us,
which
includes
the
honorary
resolution
recognizing
juneteenth
holiday
and
I'll,
ask:
are
there
any
other
amendments
to
the
agenda?
A
Any
other
amendments
to
the
agenda
saying
none.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
the
agenda
so.
C
A

That

as
adopted.
So
the
first
item
of
business
is
the
acceptance
of
minutes
from
our
regular
meeting
on
may
26th.
May
I
have
a
motion
to
accept
that
so.
G
C
B
A
That
carries
and
those
minutes
have
been
accepted.
Next
we
have
the
referral.
Petitions,
communications
and
reports
to
the
proper
communities.
Committees
may
have
that
motion
so.
G
A
Second
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
world
council.
B
B
A
That
carries
and
those
matters
have
been
referred.
The
next
order
of
businesses,
reports
from
our
standing
committees,
beginning
with
the
report
from
our
business
inspection,
housing
and
zoning
committee,
and
that
report
will
be
presented
by
the
committee's
chair
council
member
goodman.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
before
I
begin
my
report,
which
has
21
items,
I
wanted
to
just
get
some
advice
from
the
city
attorney
with
regard
to
all
of
the
rezonings
that
are
on
this
agenda,
many
of
which
might
have
been
backed
up
by
the
2040
plan.
That's
now
been
overturned.
Are
you
advising
that
we
continue
to
move
forward
with
these
or
we
do
not.
O
Through
the
president,
councilman
goodman,
I
think,
on
the
rezonings,
it
may
be
appropriate
this
time
to
take
a
pause
on
these.
While
we
evaluate
the
decision,
the
decision
just
came
out
yesterday,
staff
is
still
trying
to
just
figure
out
the
full
import
of
that
decision,
but
I
think
would
be
appropriate
today
to
carry
these
over
unless
there's
a
60-day
rule
issue
on
any
of
these,
in
which
it
will
be
granted
anyway.
E
Thank
you,
sir.
Maybe
might
I
suggest
that
we
I'll
move
the
agenda
minus
the
rezonings,
which
will
give
ms
brennan
who's
in
the
audience
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
staff
about
whether
or
not
there's
a
60-day
rule
issue,
and
if
the
council
president
would
allow
we
could
come
back
to
them
once
we
have
an
answer
from
our
professional
staff?
Would
that
work?
Mr
ginder.
O
Through
the
chair,
councilman
goodman,
I
believe
it
would.
E
Okay,
great,
then,
thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
business
housing,
zoning
and
inspections
committee
is
bringing
21
items
forward

through.
A
Council
member
goodman
has
moved
the
report
excluding
the
the
rezonings
which
are
now
in
question,
given
the
supreme
court
ruling
late
last
night
around
the
minneapolis
2040
plan,
and
I'm
going
to
just
ask
the
city
attorney
to
just
clarify
again.
What
is
the
next
steps
for
those.
O
I'm
sorry
cuz
I'm
having
some
problem
with
the
microphone,
hopefully
by
the
close
of
the
session
or
close
to
the
end
of
today's
session.
We'll
have
an
idea
on
whether
we
need
to
continue
to
postpone
those
or
if
any
of
those
can
move
forward.
But
in
light
of
the
decision
which
we're
still
reviewing
and
having
to
look
at
each
of
these
individual
rezonings,
we
have
to
make
a
determination
whether
it's
still
appropriate
to
move
through
move
forward
with
those
matters.
A
Thank
you,
and
so
we
have
the
report
referred
by
councilmember
goodman.
Is
there
any
discussion.

will
move

the
pogo
agenda.
A
Q
A
R
Thank
you
in
queue
I
mentioned
that
I
wanted
to
ask
a
couple
questions
and
make
comments
on
items
18
through,
and
I
want
to
correct
this
26
related
to
legal
settlements
and
then
number
28.
I
have
a
question
for
our
city
attorneys
as
it
regards
to
our
contract
proposal
with
fredrickson
and
byron
so
in
terms
of
18
through
26.
I
just
want
to
highlight
again
that-
and
I
raised
these
comments
in
pogo-
we're
here
looking
at
paying
out
about
1.3
million
dollars
in
these
settlements.
R
R
The
city
attorneys
cannot
confirm
that
at
our
pogo
meeting
and
I
of
course
found
that
troubling,
especially
considering
some
of
the
specific
you
know
nature
of
these
cases,
which
are
all
available
for
public
record.
R
One
of
these
officers
that
we'll
be
paying
out
for
today
is
responded
to
a
call
with
derrick
chavin
in
2017,
where
shavin
kneeled
on
a
black
woman's
neck,
that
woman
zoya
code
is
now
suing
minneapolis
and
looking
for
settlements
and
the
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
likely
another
one
of
these
officers
posted
white
supremacists
threats
in
2020.
R
Another
was
involved
in
the
shooting
of
thurman
blevins.
Another
one
was
involved
in
the
shooting
of
justine
diamond,
so
it
deeply
troubles
me
that
we're
paying
out
over
a
million
dollars
today
to
officers,
including
people
who
have
truly
done
some
egregious
and
violent
things
and
likely
face
no
discipline
for
it.
In
regards
to
items
number
28,
I
want
to
pose
questions
to
our
legal
team.
R
This
this
item
raised
a
significant
amount
of
discussion
in
pogo,
considering
we
already
have
significant
legal
representation
with
another
external
firm
law
firm
jones
day
and
we're
talking
about
around
the
consent
decree
process.
In
pogo
we
learned
that
this
additional
contract
will,
with
frederickson
and
byron,
will
help
us
to
have
more
of
a
local
partner
to
bring
that
perspective
to
the
table,
which
that
makes
sense.
R
But
I
am
wondering,
if
there's
any
conflicts
of
interest
for
our
city
attorneys
being
at
the
table
for
these
negotiations,
since
they
were
also
included
in
the
ndhr
findings.
Is
this
the
reason
also
why
we're
bringing
in
so
many
independent
outside
counsel?
R
So
I
would
really
like
to
get
clarification
from
our
attorneys
about
how
these
contracts
work
and
if
councils
should
be
concerned,
that
you
know
if
the
city
attorneys
are
involved
in
negotiations,
especially
since
they
were
named
as
part
of
the
systemic
problem
that
was
widely
explored
and
investigated
in
that
mdhr
report.
Well,
sorry:
findings.
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,
for
reminding
us
that
report
is
findings,
not
just
a
simple
report,
so
I
have
a
question
for
gender
on
that.
O
Thank
you,
council
president
councilman
wansley
I'll
try
to
address
these
in
order.
First
of
all,
workers
compensation
is
a
no-fault
system
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
That
means,
regardless
of
an
officer
or
any
other
employee,
in
any
other
occupation
with
the
city
or
employment.
The
state
of
minnesota
negligence,
on
the
behalf
of
the
employee,
for
example,
is
not
a
defense
for
the
employer.
O
With
that
background,
I
do
not
know
the
individual
facts
of
each
of
these
cases.
In
those
facts,
I
would
not
be
able
to
discuss
anyway
in
this
in
front
of
this
body,
because
that
is
private
data
under
the
minnesota
data
practices
act.
So
I
I
hope
that
addresses
some
of
your
concerns
on
that
first
item.
With
regard
to
the
waiver
of
conflict
of
interest,
the
city
attorney's
office
and
desires
to.
O
To
retain
that
firm
to
help
the
city
as
it
moves
forward
in
settlement
discussions
with
the
mdhr
and
doj
we
we
believe
that
mr
little
hog
is
uniquely
qualified
on
his
base
on
his
past,
to
address
these
issues
both
locally
and
with
the
federal
government
and
to
help
us
forward
move
forward
in
the
settlement
discussion.
So
it's
not
simply
in
addition
to
a
litigation
team.
In
that
sense,
it's
it's
moved
forward.
With
settlement,
you've
asked
about
the
the
probable
cause
findings
and
one
of
the
things.
O
I
would
like
to
remind
the
council
members
that
this
is
a
probable
cause,
finding
it's
not
a
finding
that
has
been
proven
in
court
or
anything
else.
So
it's
a
report
that
contains
probable
cause
findings
and
that's
the
standard
proceedings,
whether
it's
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights,
our
own
civil
rights
department
or
the
eoc
and
the
federal
government.
They
make
findings
that
probable
cause
exists.
O
Much
like
it
would
be
in
a
criminal
case
when
police
officers
arrest
somebody
based
on
probable
cause
and
then,
as
you
later
move
through
the
discovery
process
or
the
court
system,
you
find
out
that
in
on
occasion,
probable
cause
does
not
exist
and
it
does
not
move
forward.
So
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
today
are
probable
cause
findings
from
the
mdhr,
and
so
that's
part
of
the
evaluation
when
the
city
responds
to
the
mdhr
they're.
Looking
at
these
probable
cause,
findings,
understanding
the
basis
for
that
and
then
trying
to
move
forward.
O
O
That
is
one
of
the
matters
that
we
have
asked
for
additional
information
on,
because,
based
on
what
our
understanding
of
our
obligations,
our
fiduciary
obligations
for
providing
brady
materials
to
defense,
attorneys
that
we
have
met
and
consistently
meet
that
standard.
So
that's
another
area
in
the
probable
cause
findings
that
we
had
asked
for
additional
information,
and
I
would
also
note
that
that
was
not
something
that
was
raised
in
commissioner
uchero's
presentation
yesterday.
R
Thank
you,
city
attorney
general.
I
think,
even
though
it
wasn't
raised
it
was
raised
in
the
expense
of
87
page
report
and
also
just
a
response
to
the
question.
Is
there
any
conflict
of
interest
since,
in
these
probable
cause
findings,
the
city
attorney
office
is
listed
as
in
violation
of
some
of
those
findings?
O
Through
the
through
the
president,
councilmember
williams,
we
don't
believe
so.
The
civil
division
is
separated
from
the
criminal
division.
The
obligation
to
provide
brady
material
is
on
the
relies
or
resides
with
our
criminal
prosecutors.
So
we
are
reviewing
that
from
the
civil
perspective
and
understanding
the
criminal
process.
D
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
councilmember
chavez
has
requested
to
pull
item
number
29
council
member,
hey.
S
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
would
like
to
poll
item
number
one
28
and
29
for
a
separate
vote
and
I
will
explain
my
rationale
for
that
item.
One
is
around
the
salary
schedule
for
the
chief
and
I
that's
related
to
the
reason
that
I'm
pulling
item
number
29.
S
I
think
that
with
all
of
our
government
restructure
work,
I
think
they're.
This
is
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse
quite
a
bit,
and
you
know,
echoing
council
member
chavez's
point.
I
believe
it
was
council
member
wansley,
that's
bringing
forward
the
staff
direction
to
do
a
more
comprehensive
study
of
doing
a
needs
assessment,
essentially
of
the
type
of
infrastructure
that
we
need
for
our
public
safety
response.
And
so
you
know
we
don't
know
the
role
of
the
chief
relative
to
a
commissioner
of
an
office
of
community
safety.
S
We
don't
know
actually,
if
there's
going
to
be
an
office
of
community
safety
or
other
department
within
that
structure.
I
think
those
details
need
to
be
hashed
out
before
we
start
making
money
commitments
to
some
of
these
investments.
So
I
won't
be
supporting
those
two
and
for
item
number
28
before
I'm
comfortable
waving.
S
The
conflict
of
interest
for
frederickson
and
barton,
I
would
like
a
comprehensive
briefing
on
our
legal
strategy,
because
what
I've
seen
to
date
is
some
level
of
adversarial
positioning
of
the
city
as
it
relates
to
the
mdhr
findings
and
until
I
have
a
comprehensive
understanding
of
what
our
legal
strategy
is,
I'm
not
comfortable
lowering
lawyering
up.
Additionally,
on
top
of
our
current
response
and
seeing
us
walk
away
from
the
table
and
then
come
back
to
the
table,
I'm
I
want
to
have
crystal
clarity
about
what
our
legal
strategy
is
before.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
and
so
councilmember
payne
has
requested
to
pull
item
number
one
items
number
one.
A
A
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
wanted
to
say
I
I
moved
the
report,
but
I
do
have
a
few
items
that
I'll
be
voting
against,
and
I
usually
try
not
to
do
that
in
my
own
committee.
P
I
think
it's
important
as
chair
to
sort
of
set
a
good
example
and
and
and
and
move
the
business
of
the
city
forward,
but
I
honestly
can't
say
it
any
better
than
than
councilmember
payne
just
stated
it
there's
just
a
few
items
coming
forward
that
I'll
be
voting
against,
and
I
wanted
to
just
pull
out
that
our
the
the
waiver
of
conflict
of
interest
with
frederickson
and
byron-
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
us
seeking
outside
counsel
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
us
working
with
fredrickson
environment,
but
I
do
feel
that
that
our
relationship
with
jones
day
is
is,
is
pretty
untransparent
to
to
the
public
and
to
many
council
members
as
well.
P
It
feels
their
scope
of
services
have
expanded.
I
get
that
or
have
appeared
to
have
expanded.
I
I
get
that
their
initial
contract
sort
of
was
a
little
bit
more
lenient
than
maybe
we
that
was
initially
discussed,
but
at
least
in
how
we
discussed
it.
It
really
felt
like
they
were
coming
on
to
to
support
with
the
federation
contract.
P
Obviously,
the
scope
of
services
expanded
well
beyond
that,
and
so
I
think,
until
there's
that
clarity
and
and
and
and
I
think,
councilmember
payne
put
it
well,
I
won't
be
able
to
support
this
item.
I
was
hoping
to
to
sort
of
get
myself
to
a
yes
on
this
item
today,
just
because
I
do
appreciate
the
kind
of
outside
counsel
that
fredrickson
environment
can
provide,
but
but
given
the
dynamics
that
I
just
discussed,
I
think
this
is
a.
This
is
not
an
item
I
could
support.
P
So
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
that
concludes
my
comments.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
ellison,
and
I
will
note
that
we
have
been
joined
by
mayor
frye.
Is
there
any
further
discussion?
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
First
precinct,
it's
a
precinct
that
is
located
in
my
district
and
the
new
location.
That's
proposed.
J
It's
actually
closer
a
lot
closer
now
to
to
the
neighborhood
of
elliott
park
stephen
square
in
that
area,
and
I
just
want
to
know:
is
there
anyone
or
can
talk
about
how
decision
this
decision
was
made,
or
how
long
has
this
plan
been
going
moving
first
precinct
to
a
new
building,
I
believe
I
remember
goodman
was
part
of
this.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I'm
a
bit
confused
because
I
thought
we
were
going
to
vote
on
the
items
that
there
was
agreement
on
and
then
take
the
other
ones
individually.
One
at
a
time.
So
are
we
discussing
item
number
29
now?
Are
we
going
to
clear
out
the
agenda
go
in
order?
E
A
Well,
I
you
know,
I
wanted
to
make
the
opportunity
for
discussion
and
I
can't
control
what
people
discuss.
So
we
can
take
up
the
items
that
have
been
on
our
consent
agenda,
which
would
be
items.
B
It's
a
quite
large
report.
The
pogo
report
what's
been
moved
is
the
entire
report
taking
away
all
the
things
that
have
been
pulled,
and
this
is
in
the
chat
if
you'd
like
to
look
at
it.
Mr
daler
put
it
in
at
the
time
mark
10
18.
the
report.
We
could
move
that
haven't
been
pulled
and
apparently
don't
need.
More
discussion
are
items
2
through
11
13
through
17,
27
and
30..
A
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
So
colleagues,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on.
B
Councilmember
wansley
aye
councilmember
goodman,
aye,
councilmember,
johnson
aye,
councilmember,
osmond,
aye,
councilmember,
payne,
all
right,
councilman,
koski,
aye,
councilmember,
thai
aye,
councilmember
chavez,
aye
councilmember,
ellison,
aye,
councilmember,
vita,
aye,
councilman,
rainville
aye.
Vice
president
paul
masano
aye,
president
jenkins,.
C
A
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
So
now
we
are
on
item
number
one,
which
is
the
salary
schedule
for
the
appointed
position
of
police
department,
chief
of
police
and
I'm
not
sure
who
requested
to
pull
that
item
now.
Councilmember
payne.
S
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah,
as
I
said,
I
believe
that
with
so
much
work
going
around
government
structure
and
the
various
roles
responsibilities,
job
descriptions,
I
think
it's
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse
to
just
presume
the
salary
schedule.
B
Wansley
councilmember
goodman
aye,
councilmember,
johnson
aye,
councilmember,
osmond,
aye,
councilmember,
payne,
councilmember,
koski,
aye,
councilmember,
shubtein,
nay,
councilmember
chavez,
nay,
councilmember,
allison,
no
councilmember,
vita,
aye,
councilmember,
rainville
aye.
Vice
president
palmisano
aye,
president
jenkins,.
C
A
Which
is
license
agreements
for
the
shared
bike
and
scooter
program,
and
I
believe
that
was
pulled
by
council
member
rainville.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
would
like
to
delay
this
item
for
one
cycle.
This
came
through
as
a
consent
agenda
item.
There
was
no
staff
report,
I'd
like
to
see
a
staff
report
and
I'm
particularly
interested
on
the
impact
of
the
other
three
scooter
companies
that
we
have
a
contract
with,
so
this
is
kind
of
moving
the
goal
post
for
them,
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
legal
ramifications
for
that.
So
I
move
to
delay
this
for
one
cycle.
P
I
was
going
to
invite
the
city
attorney
to
maybe
speak
a
little
bit
further
on
this
item.
I
know
that
attorney
nelson
gave
as
much
of
an
overview
as
he
felt
comfortable,
giving
felt
giving
at
committee,
but
I
think
it's
I'm
happy
to
support
the
motion
to
delay.
If,
if
there's
you
know
your
comments
notwithstanding,
I
have
no
dog
in
that
fight
in
that
sense,
but
I
do
understand
that
the
more
I've
dug
into
this
item
that
there's
some
really
serious
legal
considerations
that
we
have
to
take
into
account.
O
Thank
you,
council
president
councilmember
l
elson.
This
is
a
this
is
a
this
item
is
a
recommendation
from
prc
to
move
this
forward.
I
believe
it's
recognition
prc
that
it
not
be
continued.
It
would
be
the
recommendation
of
the
city
attorney's
office
that
it
not
be
continued.
O
That
is
primarily
done
based
on
our
analysis
of
what
took
place
during
the
process
of
the
prc
review
process
and
that
it
any
delay
is
not
going
to
change.
The
disposition
of
the
licenses
that
would
be
moving
forward
would
only
be
a
delay
in
what
for
the
applicants
in
what
is
a
very
short
summer
season
and
that's
a
consideration
in
the
in
the
delay
as
we
review
the
legal
considerations
that
underlie
our
request.
P
All
right,
if
I
could
ask
just
a
one,
more
follow-up
question,
then
president,
you
know
in
in
an
effort
to
sort
of
support
council
member
rainville's
request.
Here
I
get
that
it's
not
recommended
to
delay.
I'm
sort
of
you
know.
Sometimes
council
members
like
to
like
to
live
on
the
edge,
I'm
just
sort
of
wondering
what
kind
of
exposure
are
we
opening
opening
ourselves
up?
P
Is
the
delay
minimal
in
terms
of
exposure,
and
I
know
that's
probably
just
your
going
to
be
your
opinion,
or
can
we
expect
some
sort
of
litigation
in
the
morning.
O
Through
the
president,
councilman
ellison,
I
can't
predict
that
I
know
if
you've
reviewed
materials
that
litigation
is
not
unusual
in
these
situations
in
denials
of
a
license,
it's
difficult
for
me
to
quantify
the
risk
on
either
side
of
your
decision.
P
K
L
Madam
president,
I
can't
speak
specifically
to
the
presence
of
an
early
signature,
but
I
imagine
that
it's
very
similar
to
what
the
attorney
just
outlined,
which
is,
it
is
a
very
short
summer
period
and
the
ability
for
any
of
these
entities
to
earn
revenues
get
out
their
fleet
and
provide
the
service
that
they
are
being
requested
to
provide
is
fairly
limited.
So
the
whole
goal
would
be
to
expedite
the
process.
That
could
be
wrong,
but
that
is
my
assumption.
J
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
come
back
to
the
bottom
line,
which
is
we're
trying
to
address
transportation
access
to
some
of
the
communities
here,
and
this
is,
I
believe,
it's
an
option
for
some
neighborhoods
and
some
of
our
population.
So
I
will
not
support
council
member
rainville's
motion
to
delay,
because
what
the
attorneys
say
and
also,
I
think
it
will
not
do
any
good
for
transportation
access
for
transportation
for
our
residents.
Thank
you.
T
You,
madam
president,
and
I
agree
with
councilman
osmond's
comments
here.
I
do
not
support
emotion
to
delay
if
a
mistake
was
made
and
the
original
license
wasn't
granted
and
it
was
appealed
and
it
was
determined
that
we
should
be
granting
it.
Then
let's
move
ahead
and
do
that
and
let's
write
that
wrong.
If
any
of
my
colleagues
have
concerns
with
scooters,
I,
as
chair
of
public
works
and
infrastructure,
am
happy
to
work
with
you
on
changes
to
our
policy
and
our
ordinances
to
address
those
concerns.
T
That
is
the
right
process,
and
that
is
the
right
approach
to
take.
If
you
have
concerns
with
scooters
in
our
city,
I
do
not
think
we
should
be
rolling
the
dice
legally
here
when
the
determination
was
that
we
were
in
the
wrong.
So
I
think
we
should
move
forward
with
this
today
without
delay.
Thank
you.
S
B
T
E
P
C
B
A
So
colleagues,
we
are
now
back

A
U

Thank
you,
madam
president,
as
I
noted
again,
we
spent
1.3
million
dollars
already
on
these
settlements
that
we're
considering
still
unclear
until
you
know,
we
get
very
clear
on
kind
of
our
legal
strategy
and
really
getting
a
sense
of
who
is
actually
if
our
attorneys
are
going
to
be
included
in
further
investigations
in
this
consent
decree
as
they
were
named
in
these
probable
probable
cause
findings.
So
I
already
share
my
sentiments
on
these
and
I'll
be
voting,
though.

number
28-
the
waiver
of

interest
for
frederickson
and
byron
councilmember

Did
you
want
to
say
more
about
this
issue.
S
Thanks,
madam
president,
yes,
in
the
absence
of
my
full
understanding
of
our
legal
strategy,
I
can't
support
this
motion
so
I'll
be
vlogging.
Now.
P
B
C
A
That
item
carries,
and
the
next
item
that
has
been
paul
is
the
acquisition
of
the
first
precinct
police
station
and
I
will
call
on
councilmember
goodman.
E
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
am
speaking
in
favor
of
this
acquisition
today
and
I
wanted
to
provide
a
bit
of
context,
and
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
several
council
members
about
this
as
well.
We
began
this
journey
of
trying
to
deal
with
the
first
precinct
and
the
fact
that
it
is
an
antiquated
building
and
a
horrible
location
for
a
police
precinct
that
is
absolutely
unaccessible
to
the
general
public,
including
my
constituents,
as
well
as
the
constituents
of
council
members,
rainville
and
osman.
E
This
started
more
than
five
years
ago.
In
fact,
it
was
combined
with
our
efforts
to
build
a
new
city
office
building
at
the
time,
and
that
that
time
we
had
hired
jones
lang
lasalle
to
work
with
us
on
trying
to
find
a
site.
In
order
to
site
this
precinct,
it
was
discussed
to
move
the
precinct
into
the
new
building
that
we
just
built,
which
is
why
the
projects
were
considered
similar
at
that
time,
but
as
a
result
of
the
city
space
space
needs.
E
At
that
time,
we
didn't
think
that
there
would
be
room
in
the
building,
although
we
did
move
police
administration
over
to
the
new
public
service
center,
we
had
identified
the
century
plaza
building
several
years
back
and
had
been
working
with
the
property
owner
for
a
good
period
of
time.
Many
of
you
are
aware.
This
is
a
historic
structure
and,
as
a
result,
while
it's
not
designated,
we
would
like
to
see
redevelopment
of
the
structure,
and
it
is
two
buildings
combined
in
one.
E
The
earlier
building
on
the
third
street
side
will
likely
become
housing
if
not
housing,
some
sort
of
long-term
stay
hotel
and
it's
the
back
half
of
this
building,
which
is
on
the
east
side
closest
to
elliot
park
that
would
be
proposed
for
this
police
precinct.
I
think
it
would
be
a
misnomer
to
call
it
a
police
precinct.
It
probably
will
be
the
first
precinct
public
safety
center,
because
the
amount
of
space
that
we're
asking
for
in
this
building
is
about
thirty
eight
thousand
square
feet.
E
Perhaps
community
groups
and
mental
health
support,
we
need
a
building
built
enough,
big
enough
to
be
able
to
co-locate
all
of
these
services.
This
is
not
a
program
decision.
This
is
a
just
an
acquisition
of
the
space,
so
we
can
begin
the
process
of
determining
who
would
best
be
located
in
this
building.
E
But
the
reason
we're
mainly
doing
this
is
for
the
public,
because
the
current
building
is
insignificant
and
if
you've
been
to
the
building-
and
I
know
council
member
rainville-
goes
there
a
lot-
it's
just
not
welcoming
in
any
way
shape
or
form
to
the
general
public,
and
it
does
not
offer
the
kind
of
spaces
that
other
precincts,
whether
you
like
them
or
not,
have
offered
to
constituents
in
the
general
public.
Over
many
years
we
have
been
lucky
that
the
property
owner
here
has
been
quite
patient.
E
Over
the
past
couple
of
years,
in
helping
us
continue
to
consider
this
site,
but
at
some
point
they're
going
to
just
move
on
with
something
else,
and
the
holding
costs
of
this
property
are
quite
expensive,
and
so
this
is
something
that's
been
going
on
for
about
five
years.
The
council
members
collectively
representing
downtown
both
the
current
and
previous
council
members,
all
supported
the
move
to
this
site.
I
urge
your
vote
today.
T
I
want
to
say
I
appreciate
staff
coming
back
with
a
presentation
and
being
able
to
answer
and
satisfy
the
questions
around
this,
and,
in
particular,
I'm
happy
that
this
building
has
the
level
of
space
needed
for
some
of
that
co-location
of
services,
and
I
feel
that
my
questions
were
satisfied
at
committee,
so
that
I
could
support
this
item
today,
and
I
would
just
encourage
folks
that
want
more
information
on
this
to
watch
the
committee
video,
because
there
was
a
pretty
good
discussion
from
staff.
Thank
you.
A
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
strongly
oppose
this.
We
cannot
continue
to
treat
the
property
owner
the
way
we
have
over
this
period
of
time,
constantly
delaying
and
postponing.
If
we
determine
that
we're
going
to
postpone
this
item,
we
better
plan
on
not
having
the
site
as
an
available
option
for
us
going
forward.
It
seems
to
be
the
business
of
the
city
these
days
to
constantly
postpone
things
that
people
are
unhappy
about.
Take
a
vote.
We'll
live
with
the
outcome,
and
someone
else
can
take
this
item
on
as
their
project.
If
it
does
not
pass.
T
Well,
madam
president,
I
wasn't
in
queue,
but
since
you
called
on
me,
I
will
just
ask
councilmember
chavez
to
clarify
if
there
is
a
date
certain
on
this.
A
All
right,
colleagues,
we
have
a
a
motion
to
postpone
before
us
and
I
see
mayor
fry
is
in
queue
to
speak.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
oppose
the
motion
to
postpone
would
want
us
to
move
forward
on
this
in
the
immediacy
simply
because
this
is
something
we've
been
working
on
for
a
very,
very
long
time
as
council
member
goodman
mentioned.
This
is
something
that
I
worked
on
as
a
council
member
that
council
member
fletcher
worked
on
as
a
council
member,
the
council
member
goodman,
the
councilmember
rainville,
and
this
is
just
the
obvious
thing
to
do
as
we
need
more
space.
L
The
lease
itself
is
ending,
I
believe,
in
the
not-too-distance
future
in
2023
and
I'm
not
certain
what
the
what
a
delay
would
accomplish,
and
so
this
is
a
purchase
agreement
that
just
provides
a
location
for
the
first
precinct.
That
is
a
vast
improvement
on
the
current
one
and
would
allow
for
the
comprehensive
kind
of
public
safety
strategies
that
we've
been
talking
about,
something
that
I
support.
Q
I
too
oppose
this
motion,
it's
time
to
move
forward
with
the
new
precinct,
and
I
invite
all
our
colleagues
to
participate
in
the
programming
and
let's
use
this,
the
learnings
from
this
precinct
as
we
develop
a
third
precinct
which
we're
very
far
behind
in.
I
also
urge
my
colleagues
to
really
think
about
how
quickly
we
develop
a
site
for
the
third
precinct.
Thank
you.
S
Payne,
thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
a
theme.
I
think
that
is
kind
of
permeating
today's
agenda
and
that's
whose
concerns
and
frustrations
we're
centering
our
decisions
around,
and
I
absolutely
recognize
the
challenge
of
property
owners
sitting
on
property
that
could
otherwise
be
developed
and
what
kind
of
costs
are
absorbed
by
sitting
on
a
property
that
goes
undeveloped.
S
I'm
just
making
sure
that
I'm
centering
my
decisions
around
our
community
and
as
it
relates
to
the
role
of
our
police
and
what
kind
of
pain
and
frustration
our
community
experiences.
S
That's
what
I'm
centering
on,
and
so
when
I,
and
and
thank
you,
councilmember
rainville.
I've
also
been
to
the
first
precinct
building
when
we
did
our
ride-along
together
and
I
I
absolutely
recognized
some
of
the
challenges
of
that
building
and
I
would
say
the
thing
that
makes
it
unwelcoming
is
more
the
relationship
that
the
police
have
with
the
community
than
the
actual
physical
space
as
cramped
as
that
space
is.
I
think
that
it's
the
relationship
to
the
police
that
the
community
has.
S
That
is
the
bigger
challenge,
and
that's
the
thing
that
I
think
we
should
be
centering.
Our
decision
making
around.
E
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I'll
note
two
things.
Item
number
30
asks
for
a
report
back
on
december
5th,
so
a
one-cycle
delay
is
just
a
punitive
way
of
saying.
We
don't
want
to
do
this
because
the
analysis
isn't
coming
back
till
the
end
of
the
year
two.
E
I
would
also
take
issue
with
the
fact
that
any
one
of
us
are
not
centering
the
voices
of
the
community,
I'm
centering
the
voices
of
my
constituents
downtown,
who
would
like
to
see
us
in
a
much
more
welcoming
open
space
with
co-late
co-located
public
safety
strategies,
so
to
suggest
that
some
people
are
centering
community
and
others
are
not
is
kind
of
an
insult.
I
am
pretty
confident
I
understand
what
my
constituents
in
the
loring
park
and
downtown
communities
feel
with
regard
to
this,
and
I
believe
it's
about
people
and
it's
about
them.
E
The
current
space
has
a
problem
as
it
pertains
to
the
public
and
their
access
to
it.
I
know
that
I've
represented
this
area
a
good
long
time,
I'm
not
not
centering.
The
voices
of
the
community-
I
would
argue
my
opinion-
is
what
the
community
is
asking
for,
which
is
a
much
more
welcoming
open
and
co-located
space.
R
Thank
you
I
just.
Madam
president,
I
just
want
to
uplift
the
comments
from
council
member
payne
and
also
contextualize.
This
conversation
we've
already
approved
over
a
million
dollars
in
police
settlements
today
and
now
we're
looking
at
another
11
million
dollars
at
least,
and
we're
talking
about
centering
community
without
a
plan.
R
A
lot
of
our
work,
around
public
safety
happens
without
a
plan
and
that's
what
the
intentions
of
the
staff
direction
for
item
30
was
to
actually
give
this
body
the
space
to
do
a
credible
analysis
of
how
we're
actually
going
to
do
co-location
of
all
of
our
growing
public
safety
services,
both
armed
and
unarmed.
That
plan
is
not
there.
R
There
is
nothing
to
say
that
when
we
approve
this,
it
will
just
be
mpd
only,
and
that
gets
us
at
the
president's
and
thank
you,
council
member
goodman,
for
raising
this
also
council
member
rainville
for
the
third
precinct,
which
I'm
glad
already
my
community.
My
residents
have
already
done
the
work
to
survey
in
doorknock
and
say
that
we
do
not
want
to
see
law
enforcement
back
into
the
third
precinct
more
than
75
percent
of
those
folks
have
said
that.
R
So
I
would
like
to
see
us
actually
make
decisions
based
off
of
credible
assessments
that
we
know
our
brilliant
staff
can
do
have
done
in
the
past,
and
we
don't
have
that
plan
before
us
as
we
consider
this
item.
So
I
just
want
to
also
put
that
on
record
and
thank
you,
councilmember
payne,
for
your
comments
as
well
as
thank
you
for
raising
this
council
member
chavez.
A
So,
colleagues,
we
have
before
us
a
motion
to
postpone
for
one
cycle.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
a
roll.
B
A
B
C
A
That
item
carries-
and
I
believe
we
are-
we
have
commenced
with
the
public-
I
mean
the
pogo
report,
and
so
we
are
now
to
our
public
works
and
infrastructure.
N
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
is
bringing
forward
three
items
that
it's
recommending
for
approval
item.
One
is
granting
consent
to
the
mayor's
nomination
of
brian
tyner

the
appointed
position
of
fire
chief

Two
is
approving
appointments
to
the
commission

civil
rights,
appointments
and

The
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
is
bringing
forward
three
items
today.
The
first
is
the
stormwater
management
annual
report.
I
will
note
that
at
committee
we
amended
the
resolutions
that
are
moving
forward.
The
annual
report,
but
the
stormwater
management
program
itself
is
not
moving
forward
on
this
item.
Item
number
two:
is
the
bicycle
advisory
committee
appointments
a
number

those
and
number

three
hennepin

south
street
reconstruction
project
and
I
will

T
V
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
when
we
do
get
to
voting
for
this.
If
we
could
separate
out
item
number
three
for
individual
votes,
one
through
five
subparts.
V
A
A
Item
under
the
full
reconstruction
so
items
one
two,
three
four
and
five:
first,
we
will
take
up
item
number
one
and
is
there
any
discussion.
A
B
B
So
the
motion
I'll
call,
the
rolling
is
to
approve
item
3.1,

layout
for
the
street

no
councilmember,
rainville,
no
vice
president
palmisano.
No
president
jenkins.
C
A
K
I
apologize,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
just
take
a
second.
I
know:
there's
there's
a
bunch
of
different
items
that
are
in
front
of
us
and
I
I
sent
around
a
helpful
guide
last
night,
but
wanted
to
just
make
sure
that
that
everyone
is
clear
on
exactly
what
we
are
voting
on
today.
There
are
five
separate
items
within
the
hennepin
avenue
reconstruction
project
layout,
the
first
one
that
we
just
voted
on
is
a
amended
layout
that
that
has
been
approved.
K
This
next
item
is
around
easements
and
right
of
way,
which
is
a
very
standard
process
in
approval,
that's
associated
with
layout
approval.
K
The
third
item
is
a
repeal
of
a
one-way
just
to
make
turning
in
and
out
of
where
kowalski's
is
on
24th
and
hennepin
a
little
bit
easier
and
less
congested,
because
we're
adding
in
that
median
on
the
street
item
number
four
is
a
parking
restrictions
resolution
and
it
is
a
substitute
to
an
original
resolution.
K
K
One
to
to
make
sure
that
you
know
in
accordance
with
with
the
authority
that
council
does
have,
knowing
that,
we
can't
dictate
the
hours
of
service
that
that
metro
transit
chooses
to
to
have
that.
We
are
ensuring
that,
when
metro
transit
is
operating
bus,
rapid
transit
on
this
corridor
that
it
is
able
to
do
so
successfully
and
with
only
one
lane
of
traffic
in
either
direction,
we
don't
want
buses
potentially
needing
to
swerve
into
the
traffic
lane
to
get
around
a
parked
car
in
the
transit
lane.
K
To
only
added
that
congestion
and
backup
to
traffic
on
the
street.
And
then
second,
you
know,
as
we
have
gone
through
deliberations,
both
in
committee
in
this
council
and
then
in
the
public,
on
what
the
future
of
this
corridor
looks
like.
K
There
is
both
frustration
and
then
an
incredible
amount
of
confusion
that
I've
heard
over
the
last
few
weeks
from
from
my
constituents
and
and
business
owners
on
that
corridor,
about
what
parking
will
and
will
not
remain,
should
different
versions
of
this
resolution
pass
or
this
layout
approval
pass,
and
so,
in
a
time
of
that
type
of
confusion
and
frustration,
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
guarantee,
through
actions
that
we
are
able
to
take
and
to
codify
exactly
what
parking
is
going
to
be
available
moving
forward.
K
And
then
the
fifth
item
is
is
what
we
are
asking
to
delete,
and
this
is
a
staff
direction
that
was
brought
forward
from
last
cycle
and,
as
you'll
remember,
we
sent
this
entire
item
back
to
committee
between
committee
and
now
we
were
able
to
work
very
closely
with
our
our
public
works
chair
and
our
city
attorney's
office
to
ensure
that
the
actions
we
are
taking
are
in
accordance
with
with
the
authority
that
council
has
and
have
been
vetted
extensively
by
the
city
attorney's
office.
K
So
with
that,
I
know
that
you
know
we're.
I
think,
we're
all
we've
all
heard
about
this
issue.
Over
and
over
and
over
again-
and
I
think
we're
ready
to
to
take
a
vote
on
it.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember,
chuck
thai,
so
just
for
clarity,
we
are
deleting
the
directive
to
we're
requested
to
delete
the
directive
to
form
a
area,
parking
management
task
force.
K
So
where
it
all
came
as
one
staff
direction,
and
so
because
the
first
half
of
that
staff
direction
is,
is
no
longer
coming
forward.
We're
we're
going
to
remove
that.
But
it
is
the
intention
of
public
works.
Our
public
works
department
to
create
said
area,
parking
management
task
force,
and
then
I
don't
know
that
that
council
member
johnson
spoke
to
this.
K
But
I
will
add
that
in
the
coming
weeks,
out
of
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee,
this
council
will
see
very
specific
guidance
and
potentially
in
the
form
of
a
staff
direction,
to
both
address
this.
This,
like
the
area,
parking
management
task
force
piece
and
on
coming
back
to
to
to
us
on
and
on
directing
staff,
to
come
back
to
council,
with
a
very
clear
plan
on
on
how
we
support
this
business
corridor
through
the
reconstruction
years,
because
we
will
have
two
years
of
construction
regardless.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
we
are
now
voting
on
item
number.
Two
three
point:
two:
is
there
any
further
discussion
see
none
clerk.
Please
follow.
B
A
That
carries-
and
we
are
now
on
item
3.3,
which
is
repealing
the
one-way
street
number
266
on
fremont
avenue
south.
Is
there
any
discussion.
B
A
Our
next
item
is
that
passes.
I'm
sorry
and
then
we
will
now
be
taking
up
item
number
3.4
resolution
to
direct
the
city
engineer
to
establish
parking
restrictions
on
hennepin
avenue
between
douglas
avenue
and
west
lake
street
is.
A
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Could
someone
explain
this
a
little
more
in
detail?
Perhaps
council
member
chuck
died.
K
I'm
happy
to
do
that
and
then
so.
K
This
item
was
included
in
our
the
first
time
that
this
item
came
to
the
first
time
that
the
hennepin
avenue
reconstruction
project
came
to
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
was
on
may
19th
and
then
at
our
previous
council
meeting
we
ended
up.
You
know
sending
this
entire
package
back
to
committee
for
us
to
do
some
further
work,
which
you
can
see
reflected
here
and
now.
K
We've
brought
something
forward
that
that
we
feel
incredibly
confident
in
and
so
the
item
number
the
this
parking
restrictions
resolution
is
actually
pretty
common
for
us
to
to
do
in
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee.
Just
recently,
we
did
a
similar
parking
restriction
resolution
on
the
upper
harbor
terminal
project
on
in
that
project.
In
fact,
we
removed
parking
entirely
from
from
the
street,
and
so
when
you
read
this
resolution
here,
there
are
a
bunch
of
you
know:
180
feet
west
of
this
and
180
feet.
K
East
of
that,
the
reason
it
says
it
lays
out
these
exceptions
right
to
to
the
the
parking
resolution.
K
Restrictions
and-
and
has
these
very
specific
ones,
is
because
we
have
these
loading
zones
in
the
in
the
ten
blocks
of
where
this
reconstruction
project
is,
and
we
wanna
make
sure
that,
no
matter
what
the
future
of
this
corridor
looks
like
no
matter
what
actions
you
know
council
takes
today
and
and
may
take
in
the
future
that
the
the
loading
zones
are
guaranteed
to
be
areas
where,
where
where
people
will
be
able
to,
you
know,
park
their
cars
and
that
we
are
really
clear
on
the
the
removal
of
parking
from
the
other
10
from
the
other
areas
in
this
ten
block
corridor,
because
we
wanna
again
make
sure
we're
going
from
a
four-lane
street
down
to
two
lanes
right,
one
in
either
direction
of
traffic.
K
And
so
if
we
have
buses
like
the
the
new
metro
e
line
needing
to
swerve
out
of
the
way,
because
a
parked
car
is
in
the
transit
lane.
That
will
only
add
to
the
congestion
on
the
one
lane
of
traffic
and
and
since
we
don't
want
that.
This
is
around,
you
know
the
removal
of
congestion
from
that
street
and
this
this
restriction
resolution
itself
was
written
by
our
city
engineer,
and
the
only
thing
we
did
in
this
substitute
was
remove
the
references
to
state
aid.
K
A
K
Nope,
so
these
are
built
around
the
green
space
and
the
the
like
the
bike
lane
kind
of
moves
around.
So
it
is,
it
is
not
in
the
bus
lane
where
the
the
parking,
the
loading
zone
is,
it's
actually
outside
of
the
bus
lane,
and
so
it's
the
using
the
space
and
the
creative
use
of
the
green
space.
K
The
creative
use
of
how
you
can
you
know
kind
of
swerve,
a
bike
path
around
along
with
the
the
brt
stops
to
to
use
the
space
around
them
to
create
these
loading
zones,
and
so
they're,
actually
not
in
in
the
bus
lane,
though,
that
is
a
common
confusion
around
the
the
loading
zones.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
saying
that
clerk
please
call
the
roll.

jenkins,
aye,
there
are
eight
eyes
and
five
nays.
A
That
item
carries
in
our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
3.5
deleting
from
the
agenda
the
strat
staff
direction
directive
to
public
works.
Is
there
any
conversation
council,
member
palmisano.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
just
one
example.
This
item
number
five
of
the
amount
of
work
that
council
member
chug
thai
has
put
into
this
project
and,
while
council
member
chuck
thai-
and
I
aren't
in
agreement
on
all
five
parts
of
this
today-
I
just
would
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
just
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
that
the
extra
time
in
this
project
has
made
this
project
a
lot
better
and
to
thank
council
member
chug
thai
for
all
of
the
work
that
she
has
done.
G
A
B
A
That
item
carries
and
we
now
have
a
plan
moving
forward
on
hennepin
avenue
south,
and
that
also
completes
our
reports
from
our
standing
committees,
and
so
now
we
have
introduction
and
referral
calendar.
We
have
two
referrals
to
be
made
today
shown
on
the
agenda.
First
is
pursuant
to
the
notice
by
council
member
rainville.
A
Second,
pursuant
to
notice
by
council
member
payne,
we
will
be
introducing
and
giving
first
reading
to
an
ordinance
that
amends
regulations
related
to
paint
facilities,
equipment
and
products
containing
volatile
organic
compounds
as
a
part
of
our
environmental
protection
code,
which
will
be
referred
to
by
the
public
health
and
I'm
sorry
will
be
referred
to.
The
public
health
and
safety
committee
in
the
next
cycle
are
any
questions
from
my
colleagues
on
those
introductions.
A
All
right,
and
if
there
is
no
discussion,
I
asked
clerk
to
call
the
role.

president

There
are
13
eyes.
A
A
Junete
and
international
immigrants,
council,
member
weinsley.
R
R
I
just
want
to
name
I'm
really
proud
that
this
body
is
moving
forward
with
three
resolutions
that
in
in
in
words,
you
know,
demonstrate
our
commitment
to
making
our
city
a
more
just
and
equitable
place,
but
I
do
want
to
note
that
it's
the
votes
that
we
take,
it's
the
dollars
that
we
allocate
and
it's
the
policies
that
pass
that
truly
demonstrates
whether
or
not
we're
really
making
the
city
a
place
where
black
lives
truly
matter
well,
lgbt
qi,
folks,
really
matter
where
our
immigrants
feel
safe.
R
So
I
want
to
put
that
in
context
of
our
resolutions
are
really
good,
symbolic
stances,
but
when
our
actions
are
not
in
alignment,
it
renders
them
meaningless.
So
I
want
to
just
name
that,
and
thank
you
all
thank
you
to
the
council
members
who
brought
those
resolutions
forward,
as
you
mentioned.
Hopefully,
this
is
a
continuation
of
our
work
together
to
really
make
this
place
a
liberation
for
all
working-class
people
who
reside
in
this
city.
A
U
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
weinsley.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
those
honorary
resolutions
so.
C
A
Second,
we
have
prep
promotion
and
second-
and
I
don't.
U
B
A
That
item
carries
and
those
resolutions
are
formally
adopted
next
on
our
agenda
is
unfinished
business.
We
have
the
mayor's
nomination
of.
A
Heather
johnson
to
the
appointed
position
of
city
coordinator,
this
matter
was
postponed
from
the
last
cycle.
Following
our
public
hearing
on
this
nomination
and
before
I
opened
the
floor
to
any
comments,
I
would
invite
mayor
fry
to
make
some
remarks
and
he
has
joined
us
in
this
meeting
and
so
mayor
fry.
You
have
the
floor.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
not
sure
if
you
were
waiting
long,
but
I
appreciate
you
doing
so.
If
you
were
and
just
to
be
clear,
we
are
presently
on
the
nomination
of
our
city
coordinator
right.
So
yes,
sir,
our
our
our
city
has
been
through
quite
a
bit
over
these
last
couple
of
years
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
soul-searching
that
I
think
we've
all
done
and
that's
natural,
especially
after
everything
we've
been
through,
we've
done
it
ourselves,
we've
done
it
as
an
enterprise.
L
I
know
I've
done
it
myself
and
that's
why
today
I
want
to
start
with
this.
I
want
to
start
by
saying
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
here
on
the
city
council.
I've
had
the
chance
to
get
to
know
most
all
of
you
at
this
point,
and
I
know
that
you
do
these
jobs
with
humility
and
integrity
and
with
the
purpose
of
serving
the
general
public
in
our
city.
L
Miss
johnson
is
the
foremost
expert
in
the
administration
of
effective,
equitable
and
efficient
government
in
this
state.
I
would
gladly
put
her
resume
her
accomplishments
and
the
totality
of
the
work
that
she
has
done
up
against
any
other
person
in
this
state.
Ms
johnson,
will
lead
the
workforce
and
instill
confidence
in
residents.
Looking
at
this
local
government
and
wondering
are
things
going
to
be
different?
L
L
L
L
Those
who
have
worked
with
miss
johnson
regularly
describe
in
great
detail
the
extraordinary
emotional
intelligence
that
she
possesses
and
the
ability
that
she
commands
when
it
comes
to
both
building
and
supporting
a
team,
and
I
know
she
will
partner
in
full
with
my
office
and
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
answer
that
question
in
a
meaningful
way.
How
do
we
do
better?
L
That
is
true
city
and
community
collaboration.
Everyone
working
together
to
make
our
city
better,
and
we
have
an
opportunity
again
to
send
a
very
clear
message
that
the
public
should
have
confidence
in
us
in
this
local
government's
commitment
to
good
public
service,
to
recruiting
executive
and
excellent
leadership
who
will
deliver
and
to
honoring
the
calls
for
transformation.
And
I
know
that
is
something
that
heather
johnson
will
do.
And
so
I
ask
for
your
support
for
heather
johnson's
nomination
and
to
continue
working
together
on
some
of
the
most
foundational
goals
for
the
people
that
we
represent.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
frye.
Is
there
any
further
comments
or
discussions
from
my
colleagues.
S
As
has
been
discussed
many
times
in
in
these
halls,
racism
is
a
400-year
problem
and
we're
not
going
to
solve
it
in
a
day
and
we're
not
going
to
solve
it
around.
The
appointment
of
one
person.
S
I
graduated
with
an
engineering
degree,
not
a
lot
of
black
people.
In
that
program,
I
went
on
to
get
an
mba,
not
a
lot
of
black
people.
In
that
program,
I've
worked
in
many
corporate
spaces
being
the
only
black
person
in
those
spaces
trying
to
navigate
my
own
way
to
solving
this
problem,
trying
to
build
my
set
of
tools.
S
S
The
staff
didn't
ask
to
elevate
race
and
equity
to
a
department
that
the
staff
has
to
be
listened
to,
and
I
don't
think
we
should
be
trading
away
government
structure
options
for
votes.
I
just
don't
think
that's
what
the
path
is
here.
The
path
is
collaboration,
conversation,
empathy
and,
in
the
absence
of
being
able
to
really
listen
to
our
staff,
I
am
forced
to
take
a
vote
today.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
payne
and
next
thank
you
is
councilmember
weinsley.
R
Yesterday,
all
of
us
a
lot
well
majority
of
us
attended
the
justice
for
janitors
rally
that
took
place
right
outside
of
city
hall,
and
you
know
we
all
stood
there
in
solidarity
with
those
workers
who
have
been
organizing
and
working
in
tandem
with
many
of
you
to
create
better
safer
and
have
conditions
of
respect
at
their
workplace.
In
fact,
matt
fry,
you
led
us
in
a
pro
workers
rights
chant.
I
saw
many
of
you
raising
your
fists
in
solidarity
with
workers
rights.
R
So
I
would
like
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
the
dozens
of
people
who
are
sitting
here
and
in
that
overflow
room
and
who
have
signed
the
letter
that
all
of
us
have
seen
are
workers.
They
are
workers
asking
the
city,
their
employer
to
uphold
basic
labor
standards,
as
well
as
address,
embedded
entrenched
racism.
That
has
not
only
been
widely
noted
in
the
recent
mdhr
report
and
findings,
but
that
we
know
what's
happening
across
the
city
enterprise.
They
are
asking
to
have
safe
feet
in
their
workplace
and
to
be
respected
in
their
workplace.
R
This
is
something
that
you
all
cheered
for
just
yesterday,
so
please
don't
let
this
be
another
time
when
our
city
words,
the
resolutions
we
just
passed
do
not
align
with
the
actions
that
we
take.
I
ask
that
you
vote
in
solidarity
with
the
workers
today
and
in
addition
to
the
trading
of
government
structure
for
votes,
I
got
a
chance
mayor
fry
to
look
at
your
revised
organ
organizational
chart
where,
yes,
it
does
have
race
and
equity
listed.
R
It
also
has
the
chief
administration
officer
position,
which
you
have
already
named
publicly,
in
fact,
on
may
9th
that
you
would
like
to
hold
and
promote
director
heather
johnson
into
that
position,
a
position
that
has
not
been
approved
by
this
legislative
body.
As
of
yet
so,
there's
already
intentions
to
eliminate
the
department
where
many
of
our
staff
are
doing
phenomenal
work,
especially
around
public
safety
alternatives
where
we
are
completely
weak
in
under
its
current
leadership,
the
executive
leadership.
R
They
are
doing
phenomenal
work
that
is
being
internationally
recognized
and
we
are
proposing
to
eliminate
the
that
department
create
a
racing
equity
department
that
will
still
under
your
plan
and
your
public
commitments
will
report
to
director
heather
johnson,
that's
problematic,
and
it
continues
to
seed
distrust
of
this
city
enterprise
that
we
continue
to
lean
into
the
status
quo.
But
then,
in
our
word,
said
that
we
want
different
outcomes
and
it's
not
lining
up.
R
So
I
will
be
voting
in
solidarity
with
our
workers,
with
our
staff
of
color,
with
the
unions,
who
sent
letters
today
to
us
asking
us
to
stand
with
the
workers
that
we
also
yesterday
on
the
the
steps
of
city
hall
in
front
of
the
light
rail
said
that
we
love
we
care
and
we
want
to
make
the
city
a
pro
worker,
friendly
city.
This
is
your
time
to
show
that.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
only
respond
very
briefly.
First,
the
allegation
that
there
is
some
form
of
trading
of
votes
is
blatantly
false
and
you
can
ask
every
single
council
member
up
here.
If
there
was
ever
a
trading
of
a
government
structure
for
a
vote
that
did
not
happen.
Ask
every
single
person
up
here.
It's
blatantly
false.
Second,
we
will
be
undergoing
a
search
for
the
chief
administrative
officer
or
the
commissioner
of
public
service.
L
I
don't
remember
the
more
most
recent
term
that
we've
been
using
and,
of
course
I
would
encourage
heather
johnston
to
apply,
and
I
would
encourage
others
to
do
so
as
well.
Of
course,
council
members,
if
any
of
you
have
recommendations,
we
would
love
to
hear
them
as
well,
and
so
there
has
not
been
a
foregone
conclusion
on
that
role.
The
vote
that
you
are
taking
today,
regardless
of
what
anybody
will
say
up
here,
is
for
city
coordinator
period.
R
Last
question
mayor
frye
several
months
ago,
you
also
made
a
pledge
to
us
that
you
would
do
a
national
search
for
the
city
coordinator
position.
Has
that
happened
clearly
not
what
will
be
different?
What
is
the
guarantee
just
for
this
position?
That
did
not
happen.
Why
should
we
expect
that
you
will
carry
that
out
for
the
chief
administrative
officer
position.
L
Madam
president,
you
know
I
I
don't
believe
that
councilmember
wamsley
is
going
to
subject
herself
to
a
series
of
cross-examinatory
questions
which
I
would
be
happy
happy
to
provide.
Rather,
I
think
we
should
just
move
on
with
our
business.
I've
stated
very
clearly
what
my
intention
is
to
do.
My
commitment
is
here
publicly
publicly.
My
commitment
is
to
have
a
search
for
the
chief
administrative
officer,
I'm
not
wavering
from
that.
T
T
I
was
able
to
speak
with
our
interim
city
coordinator,
heather
johnston
and
hear
from
her
as
well.
I
have
to
say
I'm
impressed
with
how
professional
dedicated
and
hardworking
I
found
both
parties
to
be
our
staff,
who
I
respect,
who
I
have
relationships
with,
who
I
know,
are
doing
incredible,
work
in
our
city
and
as
well,
miss
johnson
who
is
professional,
dedicated
and
hardworking
as
well.
T
I
have
to
say
it's
extremely
complicated.
I've
never
seen
a
situation
like
this
before
I
know,
there's
been
past
instances
where
employees
have
spoken
out
against
appointments,
but
I
don't
think
it's
been
anything
like
this.
I
think
one
aspect
of
this
is
that
national
search
that
was
mentioned
in
a
press
release
around
this.
I
also
understand
from
the
mayor's
office
too
around
the
reasons
why
that
did
not
proceed
in
particular,
especially
in
light
of
what
voters
decided
around
the
government
structure
and
this
being
a
temporary
position.
T
What
I
wish
was
happening
is
that
we'd
be
saying:
hey,
let's
get
to
the
bottom
of
this,
let's
sort
this
out,
so
we
can
all
feel
confident
moving
forward
in
this
and
that
particularly
for
our
staff
that
they
feel
more
comfortable
with
this
appointment.
That's
not
what's
before
us
today.
It
is
our
process
today
to
consider
this
appointment.
It's
also
an
unfortunate
situation,
because
I
think
it's
going
to
be
perceived
by
some
as
picking
between
staff
and
heather
or
not
listening
to
one
side
or
the
other,
but
that's
not
the
case
here.
T
It's
the
case
here
that
we
have
professional
staff.
We
want
to
continue
doing
doing
the
work,
and
we
also
have
a
professional
city
coordinator,
who
I
want
to
give
an
opportunity
to
to
demonstrate
responsiveness
to
these
concerns
that
have
been
raised
up
to
address
them
and
to
build
trust
as
well,
and
we
need
to
work
through
these
issues.
I
know
we
have
a
facilitator
that
has
been
selected
to
do
that
and
I
think
miss
johnson
deserves
that
opportunity
to
work
with
her
staff
through
these
issues
as
well.
T
I'm
glad
mayor
fry
is
committing
to
a
national
search
for
that
administrative
officer
role.
I
think
that
is
appropriate.
I
think
that
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
frankly,
I
would
not
support
any
appointee
if
there
is
not
a
process
behind
that,
because
that
is
an
expansion
that
is
a
expansion
of
roles
that
we
have
not
seen,
and
that
will
be
arguably
the
most
powerful
role
in
the
history
of
the
city
and
that
deserves
the
absolute
best
most
qualified
candidates.
T
A
You
thank
you
councilmember
johnson
colleagues.
I
put
myself
in
queue
to
to
discuss
this
issue
a
bit
to
start
out.
I
will
be
voting
in
affirmative
to
confirm
miss
johnson
for
the
role
of
city
coordinator.
A
I
have
urged
her
as
well
as
the
mayor
to
have
a
a
full,
transparent.
A
But
I
want
to
speak
to
the
the
issue
of
workers
and
workers
rights,
because
many
of
the
people
that
that
signed
on
to
these
to
this
letter,
expressing
these
very,
very
real
concerns,
real
concerns
that
I
experienced
myself
real
concerns
that
I
think
we're
hearing
from
black
employees
and
workers
all
over
the
entire
country
that
they
are
experiencing
the
same
kinds
of
issues
that
are
being
expressed
here.
A
I
I
recognized
that
very
early
on
and
called
for
a
acknowledgement
of
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis,
and
I'm
happy
that
my
colleagues
all
voted
to
support
that
and
then
subsequently,
because
we
can't
just
name
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis.
We
have
to
do
something
about
it,
and
so
subsequently,
we
brought
forth
a
resolution
to
create
a
truth
and
reconciliation
work
group
and
that
group
began
their
work,
created
some
recommendations
and
then,
as
we
were,
moving
forward
on
those
recommendations,
we
lost
many
of
our
staff.
A
Many
who
have
signed
on
to
this
letter,
many
who
have
been
challenged
by
the
oppressive
nature
of
white
supremacy
that
permeates
our
entire
culture.
That's
present
in
every
institution
that
we
all
exist
in,
and
so
I
I
can't
in
good
conscience,
place
that
reality
on
one
person
who
has
had
this
role
for
seven
months.
A
Anti-Blackness
is
real,
it's
painful,
it's
challenging
when
you
have
to
come
into
a
workplace
and
be
expected
to
deal
with
those
challenges
at
the
same
time
that
you
are
experiencing
that
harm,
and
I
100
recognize
that
and
commit
myself
to
working
with
all
of
you
all
of
the
75
employees
that
signed
on
to
this
letter,
including
my
own
staff.
A
Many
of
those
people
who
signed
on
to
this
letter
are
my
friends,
people
they're,
not
just
colleagues.
These
are
people
who
I
have
had
long
relationships
with
prior
to
them,
even
coming
to
city
hall,
and-
and
so
I
would
just
end
my
comments
with
this
is
very
difficult
work.
A
It's
really
important
that
we
all
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
and
do
this
work
together
to
make
this
workplace
to
make
this
city
an
anti-racist
institution.
S
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
a
couple
things
I
heard
in
this
discussion
one
we're
not
tasked
with
solving
racism
in
america
with
this
decision,
we're
tasked
with
addressing
some
clearly
identified
systemic
racist
issues
within
the
coordinator's
office,
and
we
have
been
forced
into
a
yes,
no
choice
and
we
actually
have
an
option
to
directly
address
that.
I
would
have
preferred
a
process
of
which
I
was
trying
to
delay
this
to
the
point
that
we
could
get
to
a
resolution
before
we
got
to
a
vote.
S
S
S
It's
just
not
getting
to
the
core
issue.
We
really
need
to
be
listening
to
staff
if
you're
this
is
complex
as
as
councilmember
johnson
said,
it's
not
going
to
be
easy.
This
is
going
to
be
uncomfortable,
it's
so
uncomfortable
having
this
conversation,
but
we're
not
going
to
get
there
by
ignoring
staff
and
doing
things
that
on
appearance
looks
like
we're
taking
it
seriously.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
payne
councilmember
took
time.
K
You
know
I
I've
been
dwelling
on
the
way
the
mayor
started.
His
remarks
earlier
today
on
this
issue,
right
that
that
heather
johnston
is
the
embodiment
of
public
service,
and
since
we
got
into
these
chambers,
I've
been
looking
at
at
this
in
front
of
us
right.
This
list
of
names
in
front
of
us-
and
these
are
just
a
few
of
them-
they
aren't
all
of
the
names,
but
these
people
are
the
embodiment
of
public
service
too.
K
K
They're
our
workers,
but
they
are
also
our
constituents.
They
are
our
our
aides,
who
help
us
do
our
jobs
every
day,
and
I
I
recognize
so
many
names
over
here
of
people
that
don't
work
here
anymore,
but
when
I
met
them
they
did-
and
I
didn't
even
know
that
they
worked
here
right.
The
first
one,
maria
lee
is
a
constituent
of
mine.
K
I
knocked
her
door
at
one
point
during
the
election
and
one
of
the
things
she
said
to
me
was
I
work
there
and
I
think
you
could
do
a
good
job
keep
going
right.
She
was
the
first
person
who
worked
in
this
institution
who
told
me
that
they
could
support
me.
I
see
the
name.
I
see
ethan
foley
here
during
the
uprising.
He
sat
outside
midtown
global
market
and
helped
keep
it
from
burning
down
and
was
arrested.
K
I
see
mickey
line
again
who
I
have
known
since
I
was
18
years
old,
and
I
know
that
this
is
a
difficult
and
incredibly
brave
thing
for
them
to
do,
and
then
I
see
young
people
who
we
hold
up
all
of
the
time.
Our
urban
scholars
who
come
in
to
our
city,
so
many
of
our
aides,
are
our
council
members,
our
former
urban
scholars.
K
I
can't
imagine
in
my
first
week,
in
my
first
couple
of
weeks
on
a
new
job
early
in
my
career,
having
the
courage
to
to
stand
with
staff
on
such
a
contentious
thing
stand
up
to
us.
We
have
all
of
the
power
here
they're
brand
new,
and
they
have
the
courage
to
sit
here
and
do
this.
How
come
we
can't
have
their
back?
K
K
An
an
open,
transparent,
national
search
in
the
form
of
a
press
release,
and
not
just
a
commitment
made
to
us,
but
a
commitment
made
to
the
public
on
doing
a
a
thorough
search
and
coming
up
with
this
name
right
and
it
went
broken,
and
so
I'm
hearing
another
commitment-
and
I
don't
know
that
I
can
trust
that
it
won't
go
broken
again.
I
don't
know
that
I
can
trust
that
another
crisis
won't
come
up
again.
K
This
institution
we
we've
functioned
in
my
five
months
here
from
crisis
to
crisis.
There
will
always
be
a
reason
to
rush
something,
but
there
are
never
enough.
There's
never
going
to
be
enough
time.
You
know
what
I
mean
like
there's
a
commitment
that
went
broken
and
I
don't
know
that
I
can
trust
that
it
won't
again
and
then
I
will
end
with.
K
K
Is
a
choice
for
us
to
either
uphold
or
reject
white
supremacy
in
this
institution
right
and
so
again,
I
don't
think
that
that
anyone
is
saying
that
that
heather
is
responsible
for
racism.
I
think
what
we're
saying
is
that
this
is
a
choice
and
it
does
like
every
single
other
one
like
every
time
we
vote
to
to
rezone
something
where
every
time
we
give
somebody
a
liquor
license
all
of
those
choices
to
reflect
whether
we
are
upholding
or
rejecting
a
system
of
white
supremacy
and.
K
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
chuck
ty.
I
don't
see
any
other
comments
in
queue.
L
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
I
will
be
brief.
First,
in
reference
to
council
member
payne's
comments,
my
response
was
not
related
to
anything
that
you
said,
but
rather
a
statement
that
there
were
votes
traded
for
government
structure
that
was
made
by
a
different
council
member,
and
that
is
simply
not
true
and
again,
you
can
ask
every
single
other
council
member
up
here.
Second,
you
mentioned
that
creating
this
new
department
was
an
act
of
of
diversion.
L
L
That
is
literally
part
of
my
responsibility
in
charge
as
mayor
and
third
and
third
to
have
a
national
search
for
a
position
that
will
perhaps
only
be
around
for
a
matter
of
months
did
not
make
a
lot
of
sense,
and
so
rather
the
search
itself
will
be
for
the
full-time
and
permanent
position
of
the
commissioner
or
director
of
public
service.
So
I
wanted
to
just
clarify
those
items
again.
Thank
you
for
your
deliberation.
Council
members.
D
I
would
just
like
to
let
our
city
staff
know
that
I
support
you.
I
hear
you,
I
believe
your
stories
and
that
we
voting
know
on
this
today.
I
said
my
comments
at
the
last
committee
and
council
meeting,
so
I
don't
really
want
to
repeat
what
I
said
but
to
the
white
elected
officials
on
this
body.
I
would
just
ask
you
to
not
let
the
people
of
color
on
this
body
be
the
only
ones
to
vote
no
on
this.
This
is
not
an
easy
vote
and
allowing
us
to
be
the
only
ones
to
vote.
D
A
You
know
I
guess
I
I
I
do
have
to
just
follow
up.
I
really
kind
of
wanted
to
leave
this
out,
but
but
I've
had
several.
A
L
A
A
reality
in
in
this
city-
and
I
am
a
person
of
color,
I'm
a
black
woman,
a
black
trans
woman
and
I
will
be
voting
in
affirmative,
and
I
don't
think
that
we
I
I
can't
live
in
a
city,
a
society
where
my
right
to
have
my
own
opinion
is
diminished
by
other
people.
A
So
I
will
now
ask
the
clerk
to
call
around
council.
B
C
A
That
item
carries
and
now
colleagues,
we
will
move
to
the
items
that
were
postponed
early
in
our
committee
meeting
around
rezoning.
A
A
N
N
A
To
the
zoning
issues
that
were
postponed
earlier
in
the
meeting,
mr
kirk,
can
you
please
remind
us
what
those
yes.
B
Items
are
yes,
madam
president,
under
the
business
inspection,
zoning
and
housing
committee,
these
are
items
16,
17,
18
and
19
within
your
agenda
packet,
and
I
believe
that
the
city
attorney
has
some
updated
information
in
response
to
questions
or
concerns
that
were
raised
by
chair
goodman
when
she
offered
the
report
about
whether
or
not
these
matters
should
move
forward.
Given
the
recent
judicial
decision
about
the
city's
comp
plan,
2040.
A
Thank
you.
So
I'm
thinking
we
need
explanation
from
the
city
attorney.
O
Madam
president,
we
have
I've
had
some
opportunity
to
communicate
with
staff,
and
it
is
our
recommendation
that
we
postpone
those
items.
We
don't
believe
that
there's
a
real
60,
a
60-day
rule
issue,
as
we
still
evaluate
this,
we
still
think
it's
the
best
thing
to
just
postpone
those
four
items
and,
as
we
continue
to
review
the
decision.
A
B
That
mr
clark
would
entertain
a
motion,
madam
president,
entertain
or
to
postpone
for
consideration
one
cycle
item
16
17,
18
and
19.
B
A
P
Thank
you,
madam
president.
You
know,
I
know
that
there
have
been
times
before
where
the
city
is
facing
litigation
on
an
item
that
is
up
for
consideration
and
we
have
moved
forward
on
that
item
and
I'm
to
the
extent
that
you're
able
to
miss
mr
city
attorney.
Mr
kinder,
are
you
able
to
explain
why
we
feel
that
we
can't
move
forward
on
this
item.
O
Through
through
the
council
president
commissioner,
nelson
councilmember
ellison
in
reviewing
the
decision,
it
was
very
clear
that
the
order
was
to
cease
anything
any
implementation
of
the
2040
plan.
Staff
would
have
to
check
on
this
to
see
if
these
were
would
have
been
allowed
under
the
pre-existing
plan.
And
if
that
were
true,
then
there
may
be
an
opportunity
to
continue
to
move
these
forward.
O
If
this,
if
these
are
an
implementation
of
the
2040
plan,
then
we
have
these
issues
of
moving
forward.
So
staff
is
continuing
to
evaluate
that,
and
hopefully,
by
the
next
cycle,
we'll
have
a
better
answer
to
you
for
you
on
on
that
aspect
of
it.
P
Thank
you,
that's
a
that's
a
helpful
that
is
very
helpful
and
my
my
follow-up
question
would
be
I'm
assuming,
but
I
just
don't
want
to
you
know
I
don't
necessarily
know
because
the
information's
so
new,
when
will
we
be
getting
some
kind
of
briefing
on
our
pl
on
the
city's
plan
to
move
forward?
I
assume,
given
that
we
adopted
this,
we
worked
very
hard
on
it
that
we're
going
to
be
fighting
this
decision
pretty
hard.
What's
our
recourse,
or
at
least
the
timeline
for
council
being
briefed
on
the
city's
recourse.
O
Councilmember
ellison
is
in
my
discussions
with
staff
and
having
taken
just
a
quick
look
at
it
myself.
It's
a
complicated
decision,
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
review
this.
My
hope
would
be
before
next
cycle.
There
would
be
either
some
kind
of
general
presentation
for
the
for
the
council
or
some
kind
of
attorney-client
privileges
we
as
we
review
it.
O
That
will
give
you
some
direction
as
we
make
decisions
on
whether
to
have
to
appeal
this
or
start
to
to
let
it
stand
and
then
just
start
to
implement
that
decision
and
unravel
everything
that
it
means.
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you
attorney
gender.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
offer
that
we
will
have
room
in
our
agenda
for
tuesday
if
we
could
get
some
sort
of
briefing
to
members
of
the
committee.
You
know
those
of
us
that
serve
on
biz
sit
through
many
many
quasi-judicial
hearings
and
old
or
new.
It's
painful
every
time
without
questions,
so
it
would
be
worth
getting
a
briefing
on
what
we
know
when
we
know
it,
and
if
that
is,
we
don't
know
much,
but
an
explanation
of
the
decision.
That
would
be
helpful
and
then
I
know
mr
ginder.
E
O
And
if
I
may
just
update,
I
know
that
staff
is
caucusing
either
today
or
tomorrow,
to
try
to
start
spinning
ideas
on
what
this
means
and
how
to
implement
it
or
our
next
steps.

There
are
13
odds
that
passes
and
we
will
review
that
item
in
our
next
council
meeting.
Colleagues,
we
do
have
a
request
for
a
closed
session
today
to
cover
several
items,
all
of
which
are
identified
on
the
agenda
before
we
move
to
closed
session.
I'd
like
to
take
up
any
announcements.
A
First,
do
any
of
my
colleagues
have
any
announcements,
councilmember
osman.
J
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
would
like
to
let
the
president
of
minneapolis
and
also
my
colleagues
know
that
somali
week
festival
is
coming
up
it's
july,
2nd
on
lake
street
blaisdell
and
stevens
somali
week.
It's
a
long
festival
in
minneapolis
communities
around
the
world,
come
together
to
celebrate
somali
art,
somali
literature
and
somali
culture.
J
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
osman,
and
I
put
myself
in
queue
this
coming
weekend
is
minneapolis
is
host
to
afropunk,
which
is
a
international
festival
of
black
futurism,
featuring
many
performances
panel
discussions
conversations
throughout
the
weekend,
as
well
as
coinciding
with
the
june
10th
events
that
are
happening
throughout
the
city
as
a
part
of
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board
and
and
so
many
other
community-based
organizations,
so
councilmember
ellison.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
yeah.
I
definitely
want
to
second
all
of
the
juneteenth
activity.
That's
going
to
be
happening
over
this
weekend,
but
I
also
wanted
to
put
on
my
former
you
know,
chair
of
elections,
hat
on
and
just
say
that
early
voting
for
2022
for
the
2022
primary
begins.
Next
friday
june
24th
voters
can
opt
to
request
an
absentee
ballot
or
can
vote
early
in
person
at
the
city's
early

is
located
at
980
east
hennepin
avenue.
P
P
Fax,
I
encourage
everyone
to
check
that
site
out.
If
you
have
any
questions.
Our
own
city,
elections
and
voter
services
team
have
provided
lots
of
helpful
details
and
information,
as
well
as
resource
as
resources
about
how
to
vote
on
their
website,
which
can
be
accessed
at
vote.minneapolismn.gov.
P
And
so
this
is
the
first
statewide
election
after
the
2020
census,
so
every
single
state
office
is
on
the
ballot,
along
with
lots
of
important
local
offices,
including
county
attorney,
sheriff
school
board.
So
I
wanted
to
call
attention
to
these
resources
and
remind
folks
that
early
voting
begins
next
friday,
and
so
the
primary
I'll
just
say
you
know,
for
the
the
clerks
have
provided
me
very
thorough
notes
here.
P
The
primary
will
be
conducted
on
tuesday
august
9th
and
polls
will
be
open
that
day
from
7
am
to
8
p.m,
so
our
polling
places
have
changed
because
of
redistricting.
So
I
also
want
to
encourage
all
voters
to
take
time
to
review
and
verify
their
precinct
and
polling
locations.
So
you
can
do
that
at
the
city
elections
website
again
that
is
vote.minneapolismn.gov.
A
Thank
you,
customer
ellison,
councilmember
wonsley.
R
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
know
notice
of
tent
is
usually
the
space
when
council
members
share
when
they're
introducing
changes
or
additions
to
ordinances,
but
I
want
to
use
this
time
to
let
my
colleagues
know
that
next
cycle,
I
plan
to
introduce
language
to
change,
internal
policies
relating
to
data
practices
and
disciplinary
action.
The
timing
of
these
changes,
I
think,
are
very
important
to
highlight,
as
we
just
had
our
very
first
briefing
from
officials.
R
Therefore,
we
need
systemic
solutions
and
that
systemic
racism
can
only
be
addressed
through
systemic
change,
so
I'm
bringing
forward
a
policy
change
to
our
internal
system
that
I
believe,
will
better
create
accountability
and
transparency
to
the
public,
as
it
relates
to
misconduct
and
public
data.
That
said
next
week
at
pogo,
there
will
be
a
presentation
that
I
invite
all
of
you
to
you'll
be
getting
this
information
via
email
as
well.
R
That
presentation
we're
going
to
discuss
these
policy
changes
more
in
thorough
detail,
I'll
be
meeting
with
city
staff
also
to
final
live
the
language.
But
in
the
meantime,
again
in
the
next
couple
days,
you'll
receive
the
email
with
the
pogo
presentation,
information,
articles
and
research
materials
provided
by
the
presenters
and
again
just
invite
you
all
to
join
our
next
pogo
meeting
on
june
27th.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
weinsley,
and
particularly
for
the
heads
up
policy
issue
in
our
announcement
section.
Hopefully
we
can
bring
those
through
our
committee
process
as
as
laid
out
in
our
council
by
laws.
Councilmember
chuck,
tay.
K
K
In
our
term,
we
made
a
commitment
right
to
the
public,
and
you
know,
as
a
result
of
so
many
conversations
with
with
our
colleagues
with
our
attorney's
office,
that
in
this
city,
at
this
time,
we
we
lack
a
clear
policy
on
how
we
approach
and
address
unsheltered
homelessness
and
encampment
removal,
specifically,
and
in
the
absence
of
such
policy,
the
decision-making
around
that
is,
is
always
you
know
confusing
for
for
for
council
members,
for
residents,
for
constituents
for
advocacy
organizations
and
has
over
the
the
last.
K
You
know
five
months
that
I've
been
off
been
in
office
has
resulted
in
an
increased
and
escalatory
violence
towards
our
city
employees,
and
so
you
know
we
have
a
permanent
director
of
regulatory
services.
Now
we
know
very
clearly
now
that
it
is
the
regulatory
services
department
that
holds
our
encampment
response
work.
We
know
that
our
regulatory
services
director
has
made
a
really
thoughtful
decision
in
bringing
somebody
on
to
manage
the
encampment
response
work
as
well.
K
So
all
of
the
pieces
are,
you,
know,
kind
of
in
place
for
us
to
now
start
moving
forward
with
creating
formal
policy,
and
so
next
in
our
next
council
meeting
on
june
30th
council
member
chavez-
and
I
will
be
bringing
forward
notice
of
intent
to
take
on
this
work
of
encampment
response
and
and
policy
so
that
we
can
have
a
transparent
and
clear
policy
that
you
know
is
shaped
by
the
public
through
that
public
hearing
process
in
within
our
legislative
ordinance
creation
process.
K
And
then
you
know
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
this
now,
because
you
know
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
We
we
understand
that
encampments
aren't
just
something
that
you
know
our
constituents
deal
with,
or
constituents
in
in
just
ward
6
deal
with.
K
We
know
that
it's
an
across
the
city
issue
right
all
of
our
awards
have
very
unique
challenges
around
this
issue
and,
and
we
really
care
to
to
get
that
type
of
you
know,
input
and
feedback
in
in
the
the
needs
of
your
communities
on
this
specific
issue
and
also
wanted
to
put
that
on
the
on
the
public
record,
and
you
know
just
have
something
for
for
people
to
be
looking
out
for
I
know
internally,
council
member
payne
and
I
have
received
you
know,
written
and
verbal
confirmation
from
our
regulatory
services
department
as
an
example
that
the
city
you
know
temporarily
has
has
paused
on
encampment
removals,
but
we
think
that
the
the
best
path
forward
for
all
of
us
and
and
not
just
us
as
council
members,
but
the
entire
enterprise,
will
always
be
a
policy
that
is
clear
policy
that
is
transparent
and
and
led
by
the
city's
legislative
body.
A
Thank
you
for
that
heads
up
and
I
don't
see
any
further
announcements,
and
so
we
do
have
a
closed
session
ahead
of
us.
This
code
session
includes
four
litigation
matters
all
listed
on
the
agenda.
A
A
A
O
A
B
A
That
carries,
and
now
we
will
close
the
public
portion
of
our
meeting
and
convene
in
closed
session
for
the
viewing
public
I'll
note
that
the
broadcast
of
this
meeting
will
continue
and
the
council
will
reconvene
in
public
after
we've
concluded
the
closed
session.
Thank
you.
