Good
afternoon
my
name
is
lenny
palmisano
and
I'm
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole,
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
a
regular
committee
meeting
for
tuesday
january
25th.
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record.
This
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
section
13d
.021
due
to
the
declared
local
state
of
public
health
emergency.
B
C
F
B
That's
12
members
present
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
colleagues,
as
our
city
clerk
highlighted
to
you
in
some
emails
earlier
this
week.
This
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
is
a
little
bit
unusual
since
we're
expecting
to
take
action
on
a
few
items.
We
usually
just
do
receiving
files
at
this
kind
of
a
meeting,
but
so
we
have
three
items
on
the
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
regular
reports
of
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
city
council
rules
of
order
revision.
G
Good
afternoon,
madam
vice
president
and
committee
members,
may
please
the
committee.
My
name
is
casey
carl.
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
as
clerk
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
and,
as
the
chair
had
indicated,
I'll,
be
making
a
staff
presentation
today
on
all
three
of
the
items
that
are
on
today's
agenda.
Each
of
these
serves
in
some
small
way
as
an
extension
of
this
body's
organizational
meeting,
which
was
conducted
on
january
10th.
So
on
this
first
slide,
what
you'll
see
is
a
chart.
This
is
a
fairly
straightforward
item.
G
It
is
an
amendment
to
the
council
rules
to
incorporate
the
system
of
standing
and
special
committees
that
was
approved
as
part
of
the
organizational
meeting.
However,
it
was
approved
as
a
separate
item,
so
these
changes
are
now
being
proposed
to
be
codified
in
the
council
rules
under
rule
four
section:
two,
that's
reflected
on
page
five
of
the
copy
of
the
rules
that
were
included
in
your
briefing
materials.
G
So,
as
shown,
staff
have
gone
ahead
and
included
the
current
standing
committees
and
special
committees
that
are
shown
on
this
chart.
That
includes,
of
course,
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee.
The
committee
of
the
whole,
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
and
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee,
as
well
as
our
special
committees
on
budget
and
intergovernmental
relations
staff,
have
also
updated
references
throughout
the
document
to
the
subcommittees
that
were
established
under
the
auspices
of
the
committee
of
the
whole.
G
That
includes
our
race,
equity
subcommittee
and
the
government
structure
subcommittee.
So
these
details
then,
are
included
in
the
rules
as
part
of
this
amendment
and
they
are
actually
taken
from
resolution
number
2022
r1,
which
was
the
act
adopted
at
the
organizational
meeting
which
created
these
standing
and
special
committees
for
this
term.
So
I
believe
that
these
changes
to
the
rules
are
fairly
self-explanatory.
G
In
addition,
however,
we
had
a
proposal
that
was
presented
by
president
jenkins
that
was
first
introduced
to
the
council
at
the
organizational
meeting
related
to
a
concept
for
work
groups.
President
jenkins
provided
more
detail
about
her
concept
in
an
email.
This
past
friday.
Essentially
work
groups
would
be
formed
to
provide
for
community-centered
development
of
policy
proposals
on
specific
issues.
So
as
one
example,
a
work
group
could
be
created
and
tasked
with
developing
one
or
more
proposals
on
a
subject
matter
of
housing
and
rent
stabilization
at
a
conceptual
level.
G
The
proposal
is
that
the
mayor
and
council
together
would
create
a
work
group
and
appoint
members
from
various
representative
stakeholder
groups.
This
work
group
would
then
be
given
a
specific
charge.
It
would
be
supported
by
relevant
city
departments
and
staff,
and
it
could
also
be
provided
with
additional
resources
by
the
city
in
order
to
conduct
its
assigned
work
once
a
proposal
or
proposals
had
been
finalized.
G
Those
would
then
be
submitted
to
the
full
council
for
its
consideration
and
addressed
through
the
standard
legislative
process
by
council
and
mayor,
and
so
while
there
are
no
specific
details
on
what
a
housing
and
rent
stabilization
work
group
might
look
like.
The
purpose
today
is
simply
to
get
support
from
council
on
the
concept
of
work
groups
that
was
described
by
president
jenkins.
G
This
slide
reflects
how
the
council's
operating
structure
would
be
impacted
with
the
addition
of
work
groups,
so
you
can
see
that
these
are
subordinate
bodies
created
by
the
council,
but
not
a
part
of
its
standing
committee
system.
As
you
can
see,
this
chart,
then
depicts
work
groups
aren't
part
of
the
committee
system,
but
are
in
addition
to
it,
but
they
would
have
a
direct
reporting
link
to
the
council.
G
G
So
this
slide
shows
the
language
I
circulated
this
morning
as
a
potential
incorporation
into
the
rules.
It
shows
a
new
section
under
rule
4,
which
deals
with
committees
in
those
types
of
bodies,
and
it
would
add
very
generic
details
about
working
groups,
very
consistent
details
about
how
those
groups
are
created
and
operate,
that
draft
language
is
shown
on
this
slide
and,
as
I
mentioned,
I'd
circulated
it
to
you
this
morning.
G
This
amendment
would
not,
in
and
of
itself,
create
a
work
group
again.
It
would
simply
establish
a
consistent
means
of
creating
work
groups,
and
it
simply
codifies
that
in
the
rules,
if
the
council
chooses
to
actually
go
forward
and
create
a
work
group,
that
would
be
a
separate
process.
So,
specifically,
this
draft
language
provides
that
the
council
may
permissively
create
work
groups
by
resolution
for
the
purpose
of
studying,
providing
advice,
making
recommendations
or
preparing
policy
proposals
on
subject,
matters
that
are
referred
to
them
by
the
council.
G
Finally,
what
this
language
tries
to
capture
and
provide
consistency
on
is
that
each
work
group
would
need
to,
through
its
resolution,
contain
certain
minimum
content,
and
that
would
include,
for
example,
the
purpose
organization
and
objectives
of
each
work
group.
The
subject
matter
to
be
referred
to
the
work
group,
the
scope
and
parameters
within
which
the
work
group
is
to
operate,
as
well
as
any
specific
tasks
to
be
achieved
or
deliverables
to
be
provided
the
membership
and
method
of
selection
and,
finally,
the
timeline
in
which
the
work
group
must
complete
its
work.
G
So
with
that,
madam
vice
president,
this
slide
summarizes
the
requested
action
from
staff
for
committee
today,
specifically,
as
this
shows
we're
looking
for
approval
to
adopt
the
amendments
to
council
rules
related
to
standing
in
special
committees.
This
was
reflected
in
the
briefing
materials
previously
circulated
and
simply
addresses
the
special
and
standing
committees
already
adopted
at
the
organizational
meeting.
G
H
B
B
Thank
you
next,
I
invite
council
president
jenkins
for
questions
or
comments.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
am
so
thank
clerk
carl
for
that
presentation.
J
I
wanted
to
just
clarify
on
the
rule
change
around
our
committee
structure
that,
in
the
event
that
we
go
back
to
full-time
in
the
office,
we
may
want
to
revisit
that
council
structure
and
clarifying.
Is
that
a
possibility?
J
But
certainly
I
know
you
mentioned
that
you
know
in
in
future
terms
we
can
revisit
this
committee
structure
as
well,
so
just
wanted
to
kind
of
clarify
that
and
then.
Secondly,
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
reiterate
around
the
work
groups
that
today,
as
as
the
clerk
I
I
think,
adequately
explained
today-
we're
we're
really
approving
a
concept.
J
I
have
spoken
with
several
of
my
colleagues
and
receive
input
written
input
from
some
folks
and
I
know
expect
to
get
written
input
from
others.
All
of
those
ideas
will
be
incorporated
to
to
some
extent.
We
we
will
work
together
to
create
the
details
as.
J
Sort
of
indicated
in
item
number
three
on
this.
I
don't
think
I've
ever
seen
a
staff
directive
towards
the
council
president
before,
but
it's
first
time
for
everything
I
suspect,
and
but
that
would
include
consultation,
input,
direct
and
indirect
from
my
colleagues
on
what
those
particulars
will
be.
So
I
just
wanted
to
establish
that
we
will
all
be
involved
in
creating
what
how
many
people
are
involved
in
the
work
group.
J
What's
the
process
for
us
nominating
people
to
be
on
the
word
group,
etc,
so
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
is
indicated
up
front
and
people
have
that
understanding.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
B
Thank
you.
I
don't
think
there
was
anything
for
the
city
clerk
to
respond
to
on
that.
K
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair.
I'm
really
glad
to
see
a
standardized
process
and
know
that
this
process
will
help
us
to
be
more
transparent
and
actually
invite
more
working-class
people,
the
constituents
that
we
all
represent
to
be
very
fully
engaged
in
this
process.
As
we
try
to
co-create.
Some
of
you
know
meaningful
policies
around
key
areas
of
work
that
we're
moving
at
the
city
level.
Just
a
clarifying
question
that
I
did
want
to
put
out
in
relation
to
that
staff.
K
Director
of
three
you
know
earlier
this
week
before
our
conversation
shifted
to
a
worker
creation
process,
or
this
concept
that
we're
discussing
there
was
a
discussion
of
a
possible
process
of
creating
a
rent
control
work
group
in
particular
that
was
going
to
pass
the
broadest
out.
You
know
outline
of
this
work
group
and
have
it
go
through
biz
for
development
of
the
details
of
that
work
group
in
terms
of
like
timeline,
the
scope
of
work.
K
I
just
want
to
get
clarity
that,
with
the
standardized
process
we're
discussing
right
now,
all
of
those
details
will
be
determined
in
full
council
rather
than
in
committees.
I
just
want
to
get
full
clarification
on
that.
B
G
Madam
vice
president,
it
certainly
goes
through
a
committee
and
it's
the
council's
decision
on
where
that
goes,
matters
that
relate
to
housing
and
and
zoning.
Those
types
of
matters
have
been
delegated
through
the
council's
creation
of
committees
to
the
biz
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee.
Housing
is
in
the
name,
so
it
could
be
appropriately
referred
to
biz
matters
that
relate
to
the
council
as
a
body
and
the
reason
why
we're
here
today
at
committee,
the
whole
used
to
be
done
by
our
elections
and
rules
committee.
G
We
don't
have
an
elections
and
rules
committee.
The
rules
was
referred
to
council
council
operations,
council
as
a
body
and
those
have
been
absorbed
into
the
new
concept
of
committee,
the
whole,
so
another
body
to
refer
to
could
be
committee
of
the
whole.
I
will
note,
though,
that
no
committee
has
the
power
to
take
any
action.
Committees
are
merely
bodies
to
make
recommendations,
all
power
vests
in
the
council
and
so
whether
referred
to
biz
or
to
committee
the
whole.
G
Ultimately,
the
the
proposal
will
have
to
be
approved
by
council
at
a
full
council
meeting,
and
so
it's
just
a
matter
I
think
of
where
we
think
the
appropriate
referral
body
would
be.
Referrals
are
made
by
the
council
president,
and
so
I
would
defer
to
her
in
terms
of
which
direction
she
thinks
is
most
appropriate,
whether
that's
through
the
biz
committee
or
through
the
committee
of
the
whole.
G
I
think
that
the
council,
vice
president
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting
committee
of
the
whole,
tends
not
to
be
a
committee
that
takes
action,
and
so
maybe
that's
the
determining
factor
for
biz,
but
because
this
does
relate
to
the
body
itself
to
the
operations
of
the
council.
That
seems
to
be
an
obvious
exception
to
that
that
sort
of
standard
procedure
and
would
certainly
give
I
think,
weight
to
having
the
matter
handled
at
committee
of
the
whole
either
way.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
question
is
related
to
council
member.
Once
you
were
low
buzz,
and
that
is
if
this
is
a
standard
process.
Did
we
want
to
codify
that?
It
always
goes
through
a
subject
matter
committee,
or
did
we
want
to
codify
that?
It
always
goes
through
the
committee
of
the
whole,
or
would
we
not
want
to
codify
which
committee
it
goes
through
and
my
thought
process
here
or
at
least
line
of
inquiry
is
around.
D
You
know
we
have
a
very
kind
of
specific,
topical
matter
around
housing
policy,
but
in
the
future,
if
this
is
going
to
be
a
general
rule,
there
may
be
some
subject
matters
that
don't
necessarily
cleanly
fit
into
one
committee
or
another,
and
it
may
be
beneficial
to
consider
making
committee
of
the
whole
as
being
the
standard,
but
it
was
just
something
I
was
reflecting
on
and
then
an
additional
question
I
had
in
on
the
previous
slide.
D
I
believe
we
made
reference
to
both
council
and
the
mayor's
office
making,
maybe,
as
a
couple
slides
earlier,
making
appointments
to
these
work
groups,
and
I'm
just
wondering
from
like
a
consistency
and
standardization
approach.
G
Madam
chair,
if
you'd
like
I'll,
take
a
stab
at
the
to
questions
as
I
understood
them
and
if
I've
misinterpreted
them
councilmember,
please
correct
me.
The
first
question
I
think
you
asked
me
was
around
codifying
a
home
base
for
the
creation
of
work
groups.
I
think
clearly
the
council
has
that
ability.
G
I
can
tell
you
historically
during
my
12
years
here,
committees
have
not
been
established
in
any
kind
of
a
permanent
capacity,
so
you'll
notice
that
the
one
place
committees
are
established
in
the
council
rules
and
council
structure
can
and
does
change
with
each
new
successive
term.
So
I
didn't
want
to
be
prescriptive
in
regulating
that,
because,
while
it
may
make
sense
now
to
bring
this
to
committee
of
the
whole,
there
might
be
another
group
that
is
much
more
aligned
with
an
existing
standing
committee
and
the
council
would
agree.
It
goes
there.
G
So
the
language
I've
drafted
for
the
rules
related
work
groups
is
open-ended.
It
would
be
determined
by
the
council.
I
will
point
out
that
in
council
rule
four
section
one
where
it
talks
about
committees.
It
does
say
the
council
president
leads
this
issue,
so
the
council
president,
is
the
one
and
that's
why
the
directive,
such
as
it
is,
is
to
the
council
president.
G
The
council
president,
brings
forward
these
proposals
for
the
bodies,
consideration
and
ultimate
action,
so
I
think
the
better
practice
given
my
history
is
to
leave
that
a
bit
open
again.
Each
workgroup
would
be
created
by
a
resolution,
and
so
each
resolution
would
identify
that
home
base,
whether
that's
committee
of
the
whole
or
another
committee,
based
on
whatever
the
committee
structure,
might
be
at
that
time,
which
leads
into
the
next
question.
G
I
believe
councilmember
payne,
which
was
you'd,
asked
about
details
on
who
makes
the
different
appointments
and
selections
and
again,
I
think,
that's
something
that's
determined
in
the
details
that
would
be
contained
in
the
resolution
that
prescribes
each
body
so
rather
than
try
and
anticipate
what
every
single
work
group
we
might
create
would
be.
I
simply
tried
to
provide
a
consistent
framework
which
allowed
maximum
flexibility
for
the
council
within
very
broad
parameters.
I
I
hope
that
answered
your
two
questions.
If
I
didn't,
let
me
know.
B
Thank
you.
I
think
I
want
to
just
reiterate
what
clerk
carl
just
said,
which
is
that
it
it
doesn't
really
matter
and
that
the
actual
vote
taken
on
this
is
taken
at
full
council
anyway,
and
I
also
could
certainly
appreciate-
and
I
appreciate
your
thinking
about
this-
deeply-
that
based
on
different
subject
matters,
whether
it's
the
number
of
actual
appointed
seats
by
the
mayor
or
the
council,
it
might
differ.
B
It's
also
my
full
expectation
that
the
council
president
is
working
with
the
mayor's
office
in
these
kinds
of
things
that
we're
collaborating
on
these
kinds
of
work
groups,
as
we
want
the
mayor's
support
in
giving
us
resources
for
these
work
groups
and
also,
ultimately,
his
signature
at
the
end
of
our
process
as
well.
So
I
I
think
the
public
wants
us
to
be
working
together
on
these
two
council
members,
chuck
guy.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
have
a
a
series
of
questions,
so
I'll
start
at
the
top
and
we
can
work
through
them.
If
that's
okay,
mr
clerk,
as
you
were
going
through
your
presentation,
there
was
a
slide.
I
think
it
was
one
of
the
first
few
where
we
saw
that
list
of
standing
committees
and
the
quorum
in
each
of
them.
F
When
I'm
looking
at
the
documentation
that
is
provided
the
supplementary
materials
in
the
publicly
posted
agenda,
the
list
of
standing
committees
does
include
committee
of
the
whole,
but
in
the
presentation
the
committee
of
the
whole
is
not
listed
as
one
of
the
the
standing
committees
and
I'm
sure
that
that's
just
an
accident,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that
in
case
you
know
someone's
watching
this
along
and
isn't
actually
looking
at
the
materials,
and
so
just
for
clarification.
G
Through
the
chair,
I'll
say
that
the
committee
of
the
whole
is
in
fact
included
in
the
rules,
I'm
looking
online
at
my
copy
here,
and
it
says
committee
of
the
whole
right
under
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning.
It
says
that
the
membership
includes
all
13
council
members
in
the
quorum
is
seven,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
we
missed
it
on
this
slide,
but
it
is
in
fact,
in
your
official
rules.
F
Awesome,
thank
you
and
then,
as
you
were,
going
through
the
slide
on
concept,
the
concept
proposal,
there
was
a
piece
in
there
that
wasn't
included
in
one
of
the
it
wasn't
written
in
the
concept
proposal
in
the
broad
overview
that
you
were
going
over
before
the
section
five
slide.
But
you
just
mentioned
all
the
way
at
the
end
that
these
work
groups
may
be
provided
with
resources
so
that
they
are
able
to
do
the
work
that
they
are
tasked
with.
F
But
I
I
just
wonder
like
what
just
can
you
speak
more
to
to
that?
And
can
you
speak
more
to
like
when
there
are
when
these
work
groups
may
be
provided
with
resources?
If
that
would
happen
at
the
creation
of
the
work
group
and
you
know
or
if
over
the
course
of
the
time
that
they
are
completing
the
tasks
that
were
assigned
to
them,
perhaps
they
you
know,
come
back
to
us
and
say
hey.
We
need
some
more
resources
in
order
to.
F
You
know
work
with
this
group
so
that
we
can
complete
the
tasks
that
were
assigned
to
us
at
the
timeline
that
they
were
assigned
to
us
and
and
what
type
of
action
would
be
needed
from
council
there
right
would
we
need?
Is
there
a
certain
dollar
amount
that
requires
approval
by
council
or.
G
I'm
not
sure
madam
chair
council,
member
chuck
thai,
I
would
say
it's
a
big
issue
and
a
larger
question
I'll,
try
and
address
that.
As
briefly
as
I
can.
Certainly
the
council
in
creating
these
work
groups
through
the
resolution
could
identify
in
advance
working
with
staff
the
need
for
certain
resources,
consultants,
facilitators
operating
dollars.
Things
like
that.
So
it
might
be
something
that,
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
cycle
that
creates
a
body
we
would
know-
and
we
could
include
that
into
the
resolution
allocate
and
appropriate.
G
G
It
also
is
quite
possible
that,
during
the
life
of
a
work
group,
an
identified
need
for
additional
resources
could
be
raised
and
brought
forward
through
the
appropriate
department
staff,
and
that
would
come
either
within
the
supporting
department's
budget,
that
within
existing
policies
that
this
body
sets
that
that
department
could
then
use
its
resources
to
help
support
that
body
or
it
may
need
a
request
of
counsel
either
because
there
isn't
an
allocation
or
because
policies
would
require
us
to
come
back
to
the
body.
G
G
Certainly
there
are
mechanisms
for
us
to
address
that
and
in
terms
of
the
how
those
things
are
done
using
the
standard
processes
that
the
departments
use
to
bring
business
matters
before
the
council
on
a
routine
basis
in
terms
of
contractual
authority
that
are
delegated
to
departments
within
certain
spending
limits
or
performance
policies
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
there
there
are
a
variety
of
enterprise-wide
policies,
procedures
that
dictate
how
the
business
operations
are
handled
and
those
would
apply
to
this
as
well.
F
And
then
just
for
clarification's
sake
on
on
those
spending
limits
and
and
the
existing
policy
that
we
have
that
helps
us
that
creates
the
framework
for
for
how
we
implement
this.
I
wonder
if
you
could
just
point
us
to
where
we
would
go
to
to
find
what
those
spending
limits
are
that
trigger.
G
F
G
F
F
Let
me
just
pull
up
this
specific
language
here
again,
real
quick
one
of
the
pieces
in
section
five
that
we
address
is
that
the
work
groups
are,
you
know,
operating
separately
from
the
council
system
of
standing
in
special
committees
and
that
as
a
means
of
centering
community
in
the
process
of
addressing
complex
subjects
in
a
consistent
public
and
accessible
manner.
So
my
hope
is.
F
We
can
just
quick
clarify
the
consistent
public
and
accessible
manner,
so
does
that
refer
to
does
consistent
public
inaccessible
refer
to
the
way
in
which
the
work
group
completes
its
tasks
so
open
meetings,
for
example,.
G
Madam
chair
and
to
council
member
chuck
thai
I've
used
this
broadest
language
here
in
the
rules
not
to
constrict
or
restrict
the
council's
hands
and
creating
these
groups,
but
my
intention
behind
that-
and
it's
good
to
put
it
in
the
public
record
so
that
there
is
a
shared
understanding.
First
and
foremost,
is
a
consistent
process.
We
have,
as
a
city,
been
inconsistent
in
the
manner
of
creating
similar
types
of
groups
over
the
12
years
that
I've
been
with
the
city
as
an
example,
so
this
clearly
states
that
each
worker
would
be
created
by
a
resolution.
G
That
resolution
is
an
independent
legislative
act.
It
would
set
forth
all
of
the
details
for
each
workgroup
that
is
created
and
provide
that
sort
of
consistency.
So
we
could
ensure
that
we
understand
what
is
the
purpose
of
a
worker.
What
is
its
charge?
Its
official
mission,
if
you
will
the
parameters
in
which
it
operates,
how
many
seats
who
appoints
them?
What
is
their
term?
I
think
that
sort
of
consistency
is
good
from
a
policy
making
perspective,
but
also
good
in
terms
of
our
public
access
which
leads
into
the
next.
This
is
a
public
process.
G
G
Finally
accessible
to
me
can
mean
many
things,
one
of
which
is
that
these
work
groups
would
be
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
which
means
that
their
meetings
would
be
public
notices
would
be
provided
to
the
public
agendas
would
be
made
available.
Any
reports
or
documents
that
aren't
otherwise
restricted
under
state
or
local
laws
would
be
available
and
we
would
treat
them
much
as
we
would
the
appointed
boards
and
commissions
that
we
establish
also
by
ordinance
of
resolution
under
our
city
code.
G
So,
although
these
are
not
codified
within
municipal
code,
they
are
codified
in
the
rules
in
a
little
bit
more
informal
manner,
but
do
provide
that
similar
type
of
consistent
public
framing,
so
that
the
community
is
able
to
have
access
notice
and
be
involved
in
the
work
of
these
bodies.
I
hope
that
answered
your
question.
F
It
did
and
then
would
that
seem
with
that
same
framework.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
clarifying
that
in
so
much
detail.
Would
that
same
framework
then
apply
to
the
creation
of
the
work
group
itself.
G
I'm
sorry
through
the
chair,
councilman
chuck
ty,
the
the
process
by
which
the
resolution
comes
forward,
of
course,
is
subject
to
those
things,
because
this
is
the
council
act
and
the
council
is
subject
to
the
open
meetings
act.
The
council
is
subject
to
government
records.
The
council
is
subject
to
data
practices
and
so
notices
of
meetings
and
things
like
that.
So
yes,
the
the
process
of
bringing
forward
a
resolution
to
create
a
work
group
is
subject
to
the
same
types
of
requirements
that
I
just
described.
F
So
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
this
a
little
bit
more
than
if
we're
today
directing
council
president
jenkins
to
bring
forward
a
proposal
for
this
work
group
to
us
does
the
the
work
that
goes
into
and
it's
extensive
that
goes
into
creating.
That
resolution
need
to
happen
in
a
public,
accessible
and
consistent
manner.
G
Through
the
chair
to
council
member
checktime,
that
depends
on
how
the
drafting
is
done
by
the
council
president
and
the
staff
and
others
who
are
assisting
her.
Obviously,
the
council
president
herself,
as
an
individual
elected
official,
is
not
subject
to
the
open
meetings
act.
That's
a
quorum
of
the
body,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
we
do
delegate
to
the
council
president,
the
responsibility
for
making
these
decisions.
G
She
certainly,
as
she
noted,
consults
with
her
peers,
consults
with
the
city,
attorneys
other
department
managers
and
executives
the
mayor's
office,
so
that
a
final
draft
can
be
quickly
put
together.
That
draft
then
has
to
be
submitted
to
the
body
once
that
draft
is
put
into
the
legislative
process,
it's
subject
to
notice
requirements,
agendas,
public
access,
transparency
and
any
action
taken
by
any
committee
or
a
quorum
of
the
committee.
With
respect
to
that,
then
becomes
subject
to
the
laws
that
apply
in
terms
of
notice,
timing,
public
meetings,
disclosures
and
data
practices.
F
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair,
my
last
question,
and
then
I'm
done
is
just
in
reference
to
what
council
member
payne
brought
up
earlier
around
the
referral
to
the
committee
with
the
subject
matter,
expertise
and-
and
I
know
mr
clerk-
you
just
mentioned
that
that
was
to
that-
was
at
the
discretion
of
the
the
council
president,
and
I
wonder
if
well
you
know,
for
the
public
record,
you
would
consider
having
her
just
share
an
opinion.
B
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
did
hopefully
indicate
initially
that
I
plan
to
include
input
voices
recommendations
to
the
extent
possible
I
mean
we
have
to
have
a
process,
that's
going
to
yield
some
positive
results
and
so
having
a
unwieldy
process.
To
get
to
that
delays
are
our
opportunity
to
get
to
the
goal.
J
I
do
think
that
moving
through
the
committee
process,
which
is
how
we
really
should
treat
all
of
the
policies
that
we
are
making-
that's
why
our
committees
exist
is
probably
the
best
of
approach
in
this
matter,
which
you
know
I
I
don't
think
it's
gonna
take
any
longer
per
se
than
bringing
it
to
the
committee
of
the
whole.
So
I
would
my
preference
would
be
going
through
the
committee
process
and
then
subsequently.
J
Discussion
and
committee
of
the
whole
and
then
vote
on
as
a
council
as
a
full
council.
That
would
be
my
practice.
F
I
really
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
so
much
council
president,
mr
clerk
and
madam
chair.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
going
to
ask
a
question:
that's
a
little
bit
shifting
gears,
but
in
our
agenda
packet
we
have
the
council
rules
and
in
chapter
eight
section
four
note
22.
This
is
on
the
topic
of
voting
on
council
actions
and
in
this
there
is
the
descriptor
of
taking
action
on
legislation,
administrative
acts,
resolutions
and
orders
to
agencies
and
staff
by
directive,
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
this
language
is
accurate
to
the
changes
that
were
voted
in
during
the
last
election
over
government
structure.
D
G
Make
a
stab
at
it
madame
chair,
councilmember
payne,
is
pointing
to
the
annotations
that
are
not
actually
part
of
the
rules.
These
are
annotations
that
help
to
illustrate
or
explain
the
rules,
and
so
I
believe,
if
I'm
following
you
correctly,
counselor
you're
on
page
19
and
you're,
looking
at
note
22,
which
refers
to
details
that
explain
voting
procedures,
it
talks
about
the
types
of
actions
that
council
takes
legislation
by
ordinance
administrative
acts
generally
by
resolution,
orders
to
agencies
and
staff
by
directives.
G
Things
like
that
and
the
short
answer
to
that
is
that
no,
the
charter,
amendment
number
184,
which
is
the
executive
mayor
legislative
council,
makes
no
change
in
that
those
are
not
city-specific
details.
Ordinances
are
defined
by
state
law
nationally,
even
as
municipal
statutes,
resolutions
are
administrated
in
nature.
They
don't
rise
to
the
formality
and
stature
of
an
ordinance
motions
directives.
Orders
things
of
that
kind
are
all
inter
changeable.
G
They
refer
to
official
actions
that
are
taken
by
a
vote
that
are
not
otherwise
termed
ordinances,
laws
or
resolutions
which
are
broadly
called
policies.
So
the
note
and
the
detail
there
in
note
number
22
on
page
19
doesn't
change
merely
because
of
the
charter.
Amendment.
B
I'm
not
seeing
anybody
further
in
queue
I'll
just
pause.
One
moment
to
see
if
anyone
has
any
other
discussion
seeing
none.
I
will
ask
clerk
blanford
to
please
call
the
roll
on
item
number
one.
D
C
B
B
Thank
you
that
passes
and
that
item
is
approved.
All
three
of
those
parts
of
that
item
is
approved.
Next,
we
have
item
two:
it's
the
the
appointment
of
council
members
to
various
external
boards
commissions
and
committees,
and
I
will
again
invite
mr
casey
carl,
our
city
clerk,
to
give
the
presentation
on
this
item.
Mr
clerk.
G
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
you
noticed
there
are
a
number
of
local
regional
state
and
even
national
organizations
to
which
the
council
appoints
its
members
to
represent
the
city
of
minneapolis.
The
majority
of
these
assignments
are
reflected
in
the
draft
resolution
that
was
circulated
and
included
with
your
briefing
materials.
There
do
remain,
however,
a
handful
more
that
have
not
been
fully
vetted
and
therefore
are
not
ready
for
action
today,
but
staff
will
bring
forward
those
final
assignments
in
a
future
cycle
consistent
with
council
rules.
G
The
council
president
makes
these
assignments
of
the
various
appointments
of
council
members
to
external
agencies,
and
that
has
been
subject
to
approval
by
the
body
staff
have
prepared.
As
I
noted
the
draft
resolution
which
would
effectuate
these
assignments
to
various
agencies,
I
would
like
to
offer
my
sincere
thanks
to
ruth
olson
in
your
office,
madam
vice
president,
and
to
our
ethics
officer,
susan
trammell,
who
have
done
incredible,
work
to
review,
refine
and
correct
this
list
of
appointments
over
the
years.
This
list
has
not
been
maintained.
It
was
not
curated.
It
was
riddled
with
errors.
G
Ms
olsen
and
ms
travis
spent
hours
working
to
correct
the
list
to
track
down
the
bylaws,
the
enabling
legislation
creating
these
bodies
and
to
confirm
the
number
of
seats,
the
appointments
and
how
those
processes
are
done.
I
am
deeply
appreciative
to
them
for
their
extra
work
in
order
to
tackle
this
challenge,
because
it
was
a
quite
significant
challenge
and
they
did
it
in
short
order.
G
But
with
that
I
am
happy
to
respond
to
specific
questions.
The
committee
may
have
about
these
appointments.
Otherwise,
as
shown
on
this
slide,
staff
is
requesting
approval
of
those
assigned
appointments
of
council
members,
as
reflected
in
the
resolution,
and
also
further
direction
to
the
clerk
to
notify
those
agencies
of
these
new
and
updated
assignments.
Finally
authorizing
the
clerk
to
update
the
roster
as
needed
to
reflect
any
additions,
corrections
or
other
changes
over
time.
B
I
will
move.
I
will
move
approval
of
item
number
two:
okay,
councilmember
johnson
seconds.
It
is
there
any
discussion.
Council,
president
jenkins,.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
want
to
just
really
offer
my
gratitude
and
appreciation
to
your
staff
member
ruth
olsen,
as
well
as
our
ethics
officer
city
attorney,
susan
trammell,
for
their
extraordinary
work
in
helping
to
produce
this
document,
and
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
really
bringing
bringing
this
work
together.
J
Significant
brain
power
and
thought
process
and
city
priorities
to
to
the
region,
to
the
state
and
and
even
on
as
clerk
carl
mentioned
on
the
national
level.
That
said,
and
and
to
your
point,
mr
clerk,
there
are
still
a
number
of
outstanding.
J
Bodies,
organizations
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
completely
track,
one
of
which,
and-
and
I
will
I
won't
add
this
today-
but
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
it's
out
there
and
that
we
will
be
bringing
this
back
as
we
determine
what
other
outside
boards
and
commissions
external
agencies
that
we
might
want
to
be
a
part
of,
but
one
of
which
is
the
i35w
solutions.
J
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
work
group
or
a
task
force,
but
it's
a
standing
body,
and
I
know
that
there
are
some
dues
associated
with
it,
that
the
city
has
paid,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
having
our
voice
there,
so
that
will
be
at
another
appointment
coming
down
the
pike
as
well
as
as
others
I
do
want
to
just
really
encourage
all
of
my
colleagues
and
you
know
to
to
to
pay
as
close
attention
to
these
external
agencies
and
bodies
as
you
can.
J
It
really
is
important
for
us,
as
the
city
of
minneapolis,
to
show
up
in
these
spaces
and
express
our
point
of
view.
Our
priorities
for
the
city,
and
but
not
only
that
but
to
be
able
to
you
know,
help
the
region,
the
metropolitan
region
be
as
successful
as
it
can
be.
We
all
live
thrive
and
work
together.
J
Unfortunately,
challenges
problems,
coronavirus
doesn't
really
know
boundaries
and
city
limits,
et
cetera,
and
so
it's
really
important
that
we
are
engaged
with
our
neighbors
across
boundaries
and
issues
that
we
are
at
those
tables.
So
I
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
willing
and
eager
to
step
into
these
roles
and
want
to
be
able
to
support
you
all
in
this
work
as
to
the
extent
that
we
can
and
looking
forward
to
a
great
term,
both
internally
and
externally.
B
Thank
you.
I
put
myself
in
cue
also
just
to
share
a
couple
of
words
about
this
first,
I
just
want
to
appreciate
all
of
the
assignments
and
appointments
here
today.
I
really
appreciate
my
colleagues
all
stepping
up
to
help
share
the
work
you're,
not
all
on
your
your
favorite
things
that
you
most
came
here
to
want
to
do,
but
these
are
external
agencies
and
bodies
where
minneapolis
has
a
seat
at
the
table,
and
it's
important
for
us
to
be
there
to
help
further
and
extend
the
work
and
and
common
goals
of
our
of
our
city.
B
We
really
worked
hard
on
this
list.
It
started
if
you
might
remember
quite
a
bit
broader
and
we
pared
it
down
to
where
we
needed
and
had
by
bylaws
or
articles
in
court
of
incorporation
of
these
agencies
had
a
seat
to
a
point
at
the
table.
By
doing
this,
the
council
president
and
I
are
not
suggesting
that
you
not
go
and
join
other
conversations
happening
in
your
own
communities.
B
We
certainly
are
we're
just
trying
to
be
very
specific
about
where
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
a
continued
presence
it.
You
know
a
focus
on
our
own
work,
like
the
council
president
said
in
participation
at
these
things
is
what's
going
to
help
us
further
the
goals
of
the
city
in
ways
that
we
can't
just
do
as
a
city
hall
operating
separately.
B
When
we
have
a
seat
at
the
table,
it
is
extremely
important
for
us
to
be
there.
I
want
to
also
thank
the
clerk's
office
for
the
first
time
for
being
willing.
After
all
of
this
work,
to
take
it
up.
B
The
third
part
of
this
motion
is
to
take
it
up
and
to
own
it
in
the
clerk's
office
is
something
that
we
do
need
to
have
appointed
people
at
so
item
number
three
to
keep
this
updated
from
time
to
time
to
reflect
any
additions
or
changes
as
council
president
jenkins
mentioned,
there
are
a
couple
here
that
just
weren't
ready
to
bring
forward
the
cycle
and
most
of
the
rest
of
those
are
mndot
projects
that
are
happening
in
our
community
there's.
Perhaps
several
the
35w
one
is
one
of
is
one
of
them.
B
A
J
J
H
B
G
You
and
finally,
madam
vice
president,
as
provided
under
section
9
of
rule
9
and
the
council's
rules,
all
ordinances
resolutions
and
other
matters
that
are
introduced
in
the
prior
term,
but
which
remain
undisposed
at
the
beginning
of
a
new
elective
term
are
set
to
expire
automatically.
The
clerk
is
charged
with
bringing
forward
a
list
of
such
matters
to
be
reviewed
by
the
council,
and
I
have
circulated
that
list
to
the
council
prior
to
this
meeting.
G
The
council
then
may
react
by
reintroducing
and
re-referring
such
matters
to
the
appropriate
committees
in
the
new
structure
of
the
new
term
or
allow
those
matters
to
expire
and
be
deleted
from
the
system.
This
slide
shows
that
there
were
a
total
of
30
ordinances
that
were
identified
as
being
introduced
in
the
2018-2021
term
of
council,
which
remained
undisposed
as
of
january
1
of
this
year,
reflected
on
this
chart.
G
So,
as
you
can
see,
I
did
have
approximately
12
of
these
noted.
I
will
say
that
it's
my
understanding.
We
don't
have
the
most
recent
version
of
that,
and
so
some
council
members
may
wish
to
clarify
where
I
have
failed
to
capture
that
on
this
chart,
which
will
be
helpful
for
us,
so
that
the
clerks
can
make
sure
that
the
final
action
forwarded
to
council
on
thursday
does
adequately
represent
those
that
are
being
reintroduced.
G
I'll
move
to
the
next
slide
and
I'll
say
that
the
action
being
requested
here
is
to
approve
those
matters
that
are
being
requested
by
individual
council
members
to
be
reassigned
to
them
as
primary
authors
or
co-authors,
to
reintroduce
those
matters
and
re-refer
them
to
the
appropriate
standing
committees
in
the
new
term
and
those
that
are
not
claimed
then
are
otherwise
set
to
expire
and
be
deleted
from
the
system
if
they
were
undisposed
from
the
previous
term.
And
so
those
are
the
actions
requested
in
the
motion
and
with
that.
B
B
Second
council.
President
jenkins
seconds
it
now
for
any
discussion,
council
member
chuck
die.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
know
mr
the
city
clerk
referred
to
this
just
a
minute
ago,
but
there
are
three
items
to
my
understanding
that
we
only
see
one
author
listed
here
that
have
co-authors
per
the
list
that
that
the
clerk
circulated,
and
so
those
are
item
number
10.
The
boards
and
commissions
ordinance
that
is
co-authored
by
council.
F
Vice
president
pomsano
and
then
item
number
17,
the
affordable
housing
rate
of
first
refusal,
ordinance
that
is
co-authored
by
council
member
ellison
and
then
the
item
number
30
the
tenant
protections
ordinance
that
is
co-authored
by
me.
B
B
G
It
is
madam
chair.
You
are
correct,
however,
as
council
member
shaktai
just
indicated
on
the
internal
documentation.
There
is
an
indication
of
co-authors
and
some
of
those
that
were
submitted
due
to
my
own
error,
didn't
get
noted
on
the
internal
document,
and
I
and
when
she
asked
me
about
that,
I
said
it's
good
to
clarify
on
the
record
so
that
this
recording,
which
also
is
a
public
record,
helps
ensure
that
the
clerks
me
more
than
anyone
don't
allow
those
items
to
slip
through
the
cracks.
G
So
while
it
is
true
that
we
track
on
the
primary
author,
we
also
list
any
co-authors
on
the
ordinance
itself
as
it
moves
through
the
body.
So
I
appreciate
that
clarification
and
confirmation
of
of
our
discussion,
council,
member
chuck,
thai
and
we'll
make
sure
that
we
note
that
on
the
documents
as
they
move
forward
to
council
on
thursday.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
kurt
carl
for
that
presentation.
I'm
just
curious,
so
there's
a
there's,
a
few
items
that
are
listed
here
that
I
want
to
try
to
get
more
information
on
like.
Where
are
we
in
the
process?
Example?
J
Short-Term,
rentals,
I'm
really
interested
in,
and
I
can't
recall
if
we
took
action
on
the
verb
ban,
even
though
I
know
most
for
sales
have
ceased
in
the
cities,
but
want
to
know
what
our
policy
is.
So
what's
the
process,
if
we
vote
here,
do
we
have
till
thursday
to
kind
of
figure
out
some
of
these
other
ordinances,
whether
they
need
authors
or
if
they
are,
they
had
been
acted
upon
and
we
just
weren't
able
to
to
clean
them
out
is
that
the
process.
G
Madam
chair
to
council
president's
inquiry,
I
myself
have
received
several
inquiries
from
council
members
about
a
number
of
these
different
items
and
as
an
example,
the
very
first
item
that
has
had
regular
questions
number
two
on
the
list:
inclusionary
zoning,
affordability
enforcement.
G
My
understanding
and
talking
with
staff
from
the
community
planning
economic
development
department
is
that
the
likeliest
reason
that
this
remains
on
the
list
of
undisposed
items
is
not
because
the
council
did
not
act
on
an
inclusionary
zoning
and
affordability
policy.
It
did
in
fact,
in
the
last
term,
it's
that
often
times
when
we
give
notice
of
ordinances
staff,
might
open
up
or
give
notice
of
multiple
titles
and
multiple
chapters
so
that
the
work
can
proceed
in
bulk.
However,
in
the
end,
no
ordinances
were
actually
brought
forward.
G
That
amended,
this
specific
title
and
this
specific
chapter
and
we
failed
to
return
it
to
author
return
to
author-
is
the
minneapolis
method
of
closing
out
that
notice,
and
so
many
of
these
are,
I
I
believe
in
talking
with
our
cped
staff
fall
in
that
category
of
they
were
given
notice
and
opened
up
for
a
potential
amendment
and
then
were
not
needed,
but
by
all
means
to
your
specific
question.
This
is
simply
a
proposal
from
this
committee
and
between
now
and
council's
action
on
thursday.
G
If
there
is
found
to
be
a
need
for
any
of
these
that
are
not
claimed
today,
we
could
bring
those
forward
at
council
on
thursday
amend
that
on
the
floor
of
council
to
make
sure
that
any
of
these
issues
that
are
still
in
queue
right
now
are
not
expired,
even
if
they
are
expired.
Madam
president,
as
you
know,
and
I
think
are
giving
a
heads
up
to
all
of
your
colleagues-
it's
not
that
these
matters
can't
be
reintroduced.
G
It's
that
the
process
would
take
a
little
bit
longer,
because
these
are
already
in
flight
in
queue,
and
so
you
know,
notice,
introduction
first
reading
and
referral.
Don't
need
to
be
made
on
these,
and
so,
if
we
accidentally
do
let
any
of
these
expire,
certainly
any
council
member
could
bring
them
forward
again.
It
just
would
take
the
full
process
rather
than
the
expedited
process.
So
if
I
anticipated
one
of
those
points
so
hopefully
I
answered
your
questions
and
reaffirmed
the
point
you
were
making.
J
Thank
you
clerk,
carl
you
you
did
all
the
above
and
then
you
went
a
step
further
and
reassured
my
colleagues
that
if,
in
fact
there
are
items
on
here,
you
want
to
regulate
paint
booths
or
make
sure
that
we
have
seasonal
outdoor
permits.
J
B
D
C
J
B
Council
members,
the
items
carries
next,
or
rather
last
but
not
least,
we'll
receive
the
reports
from
the
standing
committees
on
matters
to
be
considered
by
the
full
council.
This
thursday,
a
little
bit
of
an
explainer
for
our
new
colleagues
at
every
committee
of
the
whole
meeting,
there's
a
section
for
report
outs
by
committees.
It's
usually
the
last
thing
on
the
agenda,
and
this
is
just
a
time
for
each
standing
and
special
committee
to
report
out
their
work
during
the
current
cycle.
B
That's
going
to
be
under
formal
consideration
by
the
full
council,
so
it
gives
all
council
members
a
chance
to
notify
colleagues
of
any
questions
or
significant
issues
or
perhaps
motions
or
amendments
to
items
that
might
be
brought
forward
to
the
full
council
on
thursday.
It's
the
appropriate
time,
if
you're
going
to
bring
a
change
or
a
motion
to
something
that
was
already
done
at
committee.
So
again,
there's
no
action
taken
on
these
items
today,
the
committee
of
the
whole.
These
reports
are
just
submitted
directly
to
the
full
council
for
its
consideration.
B
This
is
just
a
preview
of
sorts
so
that
everybody
understands
and
are
informed
and
have
a
chance
to
to
think
through
any
of
the
major
concerns
or
issues
etc.
So
committee
reports
are
generally
given
by
the
chair
of
the
respective
committee
in
the
event
that
the
chair
is
unavailable.
B
We
ask
the
vice
chair
to
be
there
to
do
it
and
finally,
if
both
of
them
can't
show
up
we'll
just
try
and
get
a
member
of
the
committee
to
be
able
to
read
the
report,
so
this
time
we
will
begin,
we
always
go
in
the
same
order.
We'll
begin
with
the
first
meeting
on
every
bi-weekly
cycle,
which
is
our
biz
committee,
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
chaired
by
councilmember
goodman.
E
Good
afternoon,
madam
president,
vice
president
members
of
the
committee,
the
committee
will
be
bringing
22
items
forward
for

is

and
we
did
have
a
very
nice
presentation
by
staff
on
all
of
the
projects
that
are
receiving
funding
for
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
for
2021
and
as
well
as
our
9
tax
credits.
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
questions
on
any
of
those
items.
J
I'm
usually
not
putting
myself
in
queues
as
much,
but
I
did
have
a
question.
Madam
chair
for
chair
goodman.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
an
affordable
housing
project
that
is.
J
Adjacent
to
george
floyd
square
at
3901,
chicago
avenue,
48
units
of
deeply
affordable
housing
at
30
was
one
of
the
projects
that
is
receiving,
affordable
housing
trust
fund
allocation.
I'm
I'm
really
thrilled
about
that.
I
mean
that
is
going
to
help
us
with
this
housing
crisis
that
we
have
in
our
city,
affordability,
crisis,
to
be
more
accurate,
so
really
thrilled
about
that,
but
also
wanted
to
ask
about
fire
station
number
14.
Where
is
that
located
the
historic
designation.
E
Can
invite?
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
pretty
sure
that
I
have
to
get
up
to
that
item
and
the
report
is
attached
to
the
committee.
I'm
pretty
sure
that
this
is
the
designation
of
the
fire
station
that
was
acknowledged
way
back
in
time
is
where
african-american
fire
station
firefighters
were
assigned
to,
and
I
don't
mean
that
in
a
positive
way,
yeah.
E
J
J
J
Actively
engaged
community
process
around
this
led
by
judge
lejeune,
lange
and
others,
and
so
I'm
just
thrilled
to
see
this
item
on
the
agenda
this
this
term.
Thank
you,
manager,.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I'm
glad
that
president
jenkins
raised
this
one
I'll
speak
more
to
it
on
friday,
but
just
a
really
exciting
historic,
designation,
and
I
appreciate
the
committee's
work
on
this.
It's
long
overdue.
The
recognition
of
these
black
firefighters
in
our
community
and
all
the
many
contributions
they
made
so
again,
I'll
speak
more
on
friday,
but
I'm
glad
that
it
got
a
shout
out
here
at
committee
of
the
whole
as
well
and
appreciate
all
the
work.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
goodman,.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
also
wanted
to
just
announce
I
thought
perhaps
councilmember
johnson
would
do
so
that
the
dike
avenue
renaming
is
coming
up
in
the
next
cycle
as
well.
So
these
are
items
that
had
been
worked
on
for
a
long
period
of
time,
but
left
over
so
just
wanted
to
know.
Members
of
the
committee
will
see
that.
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
has
seven
items
to
forward
to
the
full
council.
We
took
up
eight
items,
but
one
of
those
items
was
referred
to
staff,
so
the
seven
items
that
we'll
be
bringing
forward
one
is
a
contract
with
health
equity,
inc
for
health,
reimbursement
arrangements,
flexible
spending
accounts
and
transportation
administration
services.
I
I
Six
is
a
grant
from
the
minneapolis
downtown
improvement
district
or
did
to
fund
the
downtown
strategic
justice
partnerships
and
seven
is
a
legal
settlement.
Workers
comp
claim
so
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
Thank.
B
A
I
It
was
item
seven
during
committee
because
we
had
eight
items,
but
it's
item
six
here,
because
we're
only
forwarding
seven
so
yeah
so
items
six.
We
had
a
conversation
regarding
the
strategic
justice
partnership.
I
Again
this
is
a
in
a
a
grant
that
we're
receiving
from
the
did
and
and
and
this
action
in
particular
was
a
clerical
one-
just
to
increase
the
amount
that
we
were
receiving.
But
the
discussion
that
we
had
at
committee
was
regarding
some
of
the
outcomes
of
the
strategic
justice
partnership.
I
know
a
lot
of
council
members,
including
myself,
had
some
questions
about.
You
know
what
what
were
we
seeing
from
this?
I
It's
a
program
designed
to
reduce
recidivism,
which
is
obviously
one
of
the
city's
goals
and
we're
just
curious
to
know
what
were
some
of
the
measurables
eric
nielsen
was
there,
but
wasn't
the
best
equipped
attorney
to
to
answer
our
questions.
But
I
think
a
lot
of
us
are
going
to
be
following
up
with
the
attorney's
office
and
the
criminal
division,
to
ask
some
of
the
questions
that
came
up
in
committee
and
possibly
maybe
even
bring
a
presentation
forward
to
a
future
pogo
committee
meeting.
I
So
that
was
the
discussion
and
and
happy
to
expand
on
it
more.
But
that
was
the
the
overview
of
the
discussion
that
we
had
at
committee.
B
Thank
you.
You
know
one
thing
that
might
seem
a
little
out
of
place
because
they
end
up
being
essentially
public
safety.
Kinds
of
things
is
a
lot
of
that
work
on
new
alternative
methods
to
address
and
enhance
public
safety
in
our
environment
actually
is
the
hard
work
of
our
city,
attorney's
office
and
the
city
attorney's
office
is
what
goes
into
this
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
So
that's
why
you're
hearing
that
topic
take
place
there.
So
thank
you
for
hosting
that
discussion.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
At
our
first
public
health
and
safety
committee,
we
had
we
considered
11
items
for
the
council's
approval.
L
I
will
note
that
all
of
these
items
were
we
got
a
unanimous
vote
on
all
of
these
items
out
of
committee
and
the
first
item
is
the
minnesota
department
of
health
grant
for
vaccination
incentive
program
item
two:
the
minnesota
department
of
health
workforce
development

L
Item

to
bloomberg
philanthropies
for
the
biochar
project.
Item
number:
five:
is
the
minnesota
department
of
public
health
service
grant

services

national
association
of
county
and
city
officials

poisoning
prevention
strategies
better
known
as

item
number?
Seven?
Is
the
health
department
master
contract

L
Pica

clinic

with
special

district
number

number

contracts
with
century
college
and
hennepin
technical
college
for
police
cadet
training.
Item
number
10
is
the
contract
amendment
with
the
league
of
minnesota,
city's
insurance,
trust
for
patrol
a
peace
officer,
accredited
training
online
subscription
and
then
finally,
item
number
11.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
bring
forward
some
context
from
some
discussion.
We
had
in
committee
about
item
number
three,
the
contract
with
minneapolis
safety
initiative.
D
This
item
is
associated
with
a
buyback
program
where
organizations
can
directly
contract
with
the
minneapolis
police
department
to
do
additional
patrols,
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
bring
this
forward
as
a
point
of
discussion,
because
we
do
have
a
large
context
around
some
staffing
shortages
within
the
police
department,
and
there
is
some
tension
here
with
the
ability
for
organizations
to
add
additional
workload
to
the
department.
That's
stretched
pretty
thin,
and
so
something
to
just
consider
with
this
is
there.
It
is
voluntary.
D
So
that
means,
if
you
know
we
don't
have
the
staff
capacity
to
fulfill
this
contract.
The
the
you
know,
the
department
wouldn't
be
required
to
sign
those
patrols,
but
at
the
same
time
one
thing
that
we
may
want
to
consider
is
our
staff
burnout,
and
we
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
problems
right
now
with
disabilities,
and
we
know
that
mental
health
is
a
huge
challenge
within
the
department
and
so
something
that
I'm
considering
and
that
we
all
should
think
deeply
about.
D
Is
you
know
what
are
our
staffing
levels
in
the
department
and
are
we
stretching
the
the
staff
that
we
do
have
too
thin
with
these
additional
contracts?
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
forward
as
context
to
some
of
the
discussion
that
we
had,
while
in
committee.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
see
that
this
is
noted
in
the
staff
report
for
phs
as
well,
but
something
that
I
want
to
highlight
in
the
space
where
there's
an
indication
of
a
staff
presentation
from
robin
mcpherson
as
well
as
officer
fisher
from
the
minneapolis
police
department.
Around
item
number
nine
in
terms
of
our
contract
with
century
college
and
hennepin
tech
around
our
cadet
training
programs.
K
Something
that
our
office
really
looks
forward
to
working
with
every
single
council
member
on
is
actually
doing
a
field
trip
to
specifically
hennepin
tech.
Primarily,
as
you
know,
we
want
to
be
intentional
as
a
the
role
that
the
city
has
as
a
vendor
that
we're
leveraging.
K
You
know
that
role
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
highest
quality
of
service
from
you
know
the
organizations
and
businesses
that
we're
contracting
with,
and
this
one
is
really
key
because
officer,
derek
chavin
and
officer
tao,
who
were
involved
with
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
went
through
hidden
pentax,
basically
cadet
training,
program
and
they've
committed
since
in
doing
the
overhaul
of
their
programming-
and
I
think
you
know,
as
partners
with
them-
is
our
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
you
know
they
are
moving
forward
in
that
process.
K
So
there
is
going
to
be
a
presentation
there
is
going
to
be.
You
know
a
covis,
safe
trip,
so
to
say
to
hindu
pentax
where
we
can
actually
engage
with.
You
know:
executive
leaders
and
staff
there
around
what
is
that
overhaul
process?
K
So
again,
I
just
want
to
extend
that
invitation,
we're
working
with
robert
mcpherson
and
officer
fisher
to
get
that
schedule,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
overhaul
and
changes
are
really
being
implemented
in
a
meaningful
way
so
that
we
don't
replicate
the
type
of
you
know,
officer
trainings
that
led
to
that
great
tragedy
of
you
know,
may
2020..
So
I
at
least
just
want
to
highlight
that
component
of
the
phs
agenda.
B
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
With
public
works,
an
infrastructure
committee
has
eight
items
to
bring
forward
to
council.
The
first
is
the
project
designation
for
the
2022
street
resurfacing
program.
Items
number
two,
three
four
and
five
are
all
contract
amendments.
One
is
for
mattress
collection
and
recycling.
H
Another
is
for
a
street
reconstruction
project.
Another
is
for
additional
traffic
control
devices
and
then
another
is
for
cleaning
and
lining
of
water
mains.
Then
items
six,
seven
and
eight
are
all
bids.
One
is
for
or
item
number
six
is
for
cured
in
place.
Pipe
seven
is
for
light
duty,
collision
and
mechanical
repairs
and
eight
is
for
hydraulic
hose
fittings.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
any
questions.
The
last
piece
of
the
thursday
council
meeting,
as
you
know,
we'll
have
the
three
items
that
we
actually
went
through
at
committee
of
the
whole
today,
but
that
completes
our
readout.
So
with
that
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee
today
and
without
any
objections,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
