A
Let
the
record
reflect,
we
have
a
quorum
colleagues,
we
have
three
items
plus
a
walk-on
that
is
in
front
of
you
and
then
committee
reports.
We
will
take
them
in
that
order.
The
three
items
on
our
published
agenda
today
will
go
first
and
then
the
walk-on
from
city
clerk,
casey
carl,
and
that
is
about
voter
services
supplements
and
then
our
reports
of
committees.
A
I'll
note.
Our
item,
that
is
about
consent,
decrees,
is
from
our
pattern
and
practices
subcommittee,
and
I
will
turn
the
meeting
over
at
that
point
to
the
subcommittee's
chair
president
jenkins,
for
that
portion
of
the
meeting
published
item.
1
is
our
regular
report
on
the
contract
awards
and
amendments
that
have
been
approved
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
by
the
ad
hoc
work
group
established
for
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
Related
expenditures,
as
is
typical
staff,
does
not
have
a
presentation
for
this
item
today,
but
is
on
hand.
Should
my
colleagues
have
any
questions.
A
I've
allowed
approximately
30
minutes
for
this
portion
of
the
meeting
up
to
that
amount,
and
my
understanding
is
that
the
presenters
would
be
happy
to
take
questions
at
any
time
you
might
have
them
during
it,
so
I'll
introduce
superintendent,
al
bangora.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
bringing
your
team
ms
wiseman
and.
E
F
F
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
two
wonderful
people
behind
me,
director,
weissman
and
also
assistant
superintendent
of
planning,
michael
schroeder
and
they'll,
be
reporting
out
through
the
powerpoint
and
this
presentation
to
you
the
work
that
we
are
doing
at
our
parks
and
I've
had
the
privilege
of
being
at
several
openings
and
seeing
the
real
impact
of
mtp
20,
what
it
means
to
our
park
system
and
to
our
users
of
our
park
system.
F
G
G
G
G
Increased
maintenance,
maximizes
the
service
life
of
our
park
assets
and
over
time
reduces
the
backlog
of
repairs
and
rehabilitation
projects,
a
reduced
background
or
backlog
results
in
a
larger
number
of
park,
assets
that
are
consistently
available
to
the
public
and,
as
we
are
five
years
in,
I
think
the
public
is
really
starting
to
notice
the
difference
in
the
and
the
impacts
in
their
communities.
G
G
G
G
The
guaranteed
minimum
amount
for
capital
improvements
was
ten
and
a
half
million
dollars,
and
that's
the
amount
that
we
had
for
both
rehabilitation
and
capital
from
the
period
of
2017
to
2021..
G
The
ordinance
requires
a
an
adjustment
to
that
guaranteed
minimum
amount
once
every
five
years,
through
a
negotiation
between
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
the
park
board,
considering
construction,
inflation
and
other
salient
factors
to
adjust
that
amount.
So
in
2021
the
mprb
and
city
council
through
concurrent
resolutions
and
ordinance
amendments
created
the
guaranteed
minimum
amount
for
the
next
five
years,
and
that
is
reflected
here
for
you
on
this
chart
the
capital
improvement
program.
G
We
adjusted
our
cip
in
2020
and
completed
a
lot
of
extra
rehab
projects
within
2020
when
we
couldn't
do
the
community
engagement
that
we
needed
to
do
for
our
capital
plan.
H
Chairman
and
the
commissioners
or
council
members,
I'm
going
to
walk
through
the
rehabilitation
program
a
little
bit
first
with
some
of
the
highlights
over
the
last
three
years,
and
then
I'll
do
the
same
for
the
capital
program
and
I'll
describe
a
little
bit
about
each
one
as
I
go
as
I
introduce
each
one.
So
the
rehabilitation
program
broadly,
is
that
program
that
we
use
to
ensure
that
the
assets
we
have
will
be
maintainable
and
playable,
usable
and
safe.
H
Until
we
can
actually
get
to
a
point
where
their
service
life
is
expired,
we
would
be
replacing
them
under
the
capital
program.
So
it's
about
meeting
critical
codes
and
park
safety
requirements
a
big
part
of
this
in
in
this
piece
of
it.
In
fact,
the
largest
proportion
of
dollars
in
the
rehabilitation
program
is
meeting
our
ada
transition
plan.
We
have
had
buildings
with
critical
failures.
We've
had
cracked
beams
in
buildings.
H
They
were
addressed
through
the
rehabilitation
plan,
so
it's
really
meant
to
go,
try
and
get
those
projects
that
are
in
need
of
more
immediate
repairs
or
replacement
until
the
time
they
can
get
to
their
their
capital
plan.
We
have
a
process
for
going
through
assessing
each
of
the
assets
that
we
rank
in
the
system
and
prioritizing
those
needs.
So
where
julie
was
talking
about
having
the
equity
metrics,
we
apply
the
equity
metrics
to
the
capital
work.
We
apply
a
priority
ranking
to
the
rehabilitation
program.
H
H
What's
happened
in
the
current
year
and
two
years
prior,
and
so
you
can
see
in
most
of
these
categories,
we've
expended
the
dollars
that
we
had
allocated
and
we're
doing
much
better
at
this
than
we
you
would
have
seen
had
you
been
on
the
council,
like
some
of
you
were
two
or
three
years
ago,
where
we
were
doing
a
lot
of
catch-up
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
actually
spend
this
amount
of
money
every
year.
H
So
you'll
note
that
most
of
these
are
fully
expended
in
in
the
2020
year,
as
we
move
into
the
2021
year,
you'll
see
that
that
number
goes
down
a
little
bit,
particularly
with
things
like
heating
and
air
conditioning.
Those
are
high
dollar
projects
that
we
actually
carry
dollars
over
from
the
previous
years
to
to
make
certain
we
can.
We
can
cover
them,
it's
similar
with
roofs,
so
we'll
carry
some
of
the
roof
projects
over
roofs
or
building
envelopes.
H
To
make
certain
that
we
can,
we
can
cover
those
we're,
also
stashing
dollars
away
in
operations
facilities,
so
where
we've
only
expended
a
little
bit,
24
000
and
change
for
operations
of
facilities,
we're
actually
stashing
some
dollars
away.
So
we
can
make
a
more
major
investment
in
in
a
future
year
on
rehabilitation
of
some
of
our
operations,
facilities.
H
2022
this
is
the
the
the
numbers
are
a
little
bit
deceiving
here
in
in
both
here
in
2022,
in
the
rehab
program
and
in
the
capital
program,
because
these
charts
were
made
in
march
when
we,
when
we
publish
our
annual
report,
so
we
are
just
getting
into
the
season
of
doing
repairs.
So
so
it's
a
little
bit
misleading
we've
actually
begun
to
spend
money,
probably
in
every
one
of
these
categories
in
2022.
H
For
the
capital
program,
this
is
where
we
apply
the
equity
ordinance
where
we
look
at
every
neighborhood
park
and
the
neighborhood
that
it's
in
we
provide
an
equity
ranking
for
those
parks,
that's
updated
every
year
and
we
allocate
those
funds
to
the
to
the
parks
with
the
current
year's
highest
ranking
on
a
rolling
basis
and
director
wiseman
noted
that
I
think
we're
through
park
number
56
of
160
some
parks
in
year,
beginning
in
year,
20
in
the
22
program
year.
H
This
is
the
list
of
projects
from
2020
and
the
you'll
see
that
some
of
these
dollars
remain
to
be
to
be
spent,
and
I
was
just
going
through
this
with
some
of
my
staff
to
try
and
understand
if
we
look
at
the
harrison
spark
studio
allocation,
that's
actually
under
construction.
Now
it
wasn't
in
march.
If
we
look
down
at
like
the
northeast
athletic
field,
improvements,
those
are
actually
under
contract
and
work
will
be
starting
there
soon
and
for
the
sumner
field.
H
It
took
us
a
little
longer
to
get
into
the
community
engagement
process
because
the
the
neighborhood
wanted
some
changes
to
a
master
plan.
So
some
of
these
have
have
reasons
why
their
the
funds
haven't
yet
been
expended.
When
we
look
at
how
we
typically
go
through
a
program
year
in
the
capital
program,
we
think
it
we
we
project
three
years
of
of
work.
Basically,
the
first
year
is
focused
on
engaging
the
community.
The
second
year
is
on
design
and
bidding,
and
the
third
year
is
on
construction.
H
So,
as
we
move
into
2021,
you
see
the
allocated
budget
portion
is
lower,
although
even
in
these
years
we
are,
we
just
put
bryn
mawr
meadows
under
contract.
H
The
the
the
projects
for
for
key
wayden
is
is
under
contract
and
we've
had
to
rebid
a
couple
of
projects
because
they
came
in
over
our
project
budget
for
like
far
far
well
in
hall
parks,
but
but
again
we're
we
continue
to
move
through
these
lists
and
you'll
see
that
when
we
get
to
this
list
next
year,
when
we're
back
in
front
of
you,
significant
additional
percentages
will
be
coming
into
the
program,
and
here
you
see
that
that
this
is
the
allocations
that
the
percent
budgeted
is
closer
to
zero.
H
Again,
reflecting
that
this
was
taken
in
march
and
I'll
note
again,
things
like
bryn,
mawr
meadows
is
under
construction,
and
we
have
other
projects
that
are
actually
moving
through
construction
now,
but
most
of
these
are
in
the
community
engagement
stage
and
you'll
see
them
moving
into
the
design
and
bidding
in
2023
when
we're
back.
H
The
last
slide
reflects
jordan
park,
and
this
is
important
because
the
prior
to
npp
20,
we
had
projects
identified
in
our
six-year
cip
and
we
wanted
to
be
faithful
to
those
communities
that
we
had
made
commitments
to.
So
this
is
the
last
of
our
projects.
Under
the
2015
or
16
cip,
and
from
this
point
forward,
all
of
the
projects
will
happen
under
the
mpp
20
ordinance,
with
equity
metrics
being
applied
for
their
priority,
and
we
would
love
to
stand
for
questions.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
say
michael
thank
you
for
coming
down
today,
assistant
superintendent,
and
I'm
just
wondering.
Are
you
having
any
problems
getting
supplies
to
to
rebuild?
We
hear
horror
stories
about
construction
materials.
Is
that
an
issue.
H
Chair
and
and
members
in
some
cases
it
has
been
and
it
started
actually.
Last
year
we
started
noticing
that
first
pricing
was
going
up
and
actually
the
the
additional
allocation
of
dollars
that
the
city
council
provided
has
helped
us
a
lot
in
overcoming
that
the
the
issue
is
timely
delivery
of
supplies.
There
are
long
lead
times
on
things
like
windows
or
it
could
be
interesting.
H
This
is
not
in
the
mpp
20
program,
but
we'll
be
going
through
a
process
of
re-roofing
the
bandshell
and
pavilions
at
lake
harriet,
and
what
we're
finding
is
some
of
the
fasteners,
we're
being
told,
will
have
an
incredibly
long
lead
time,
so
we're
starting
that
process
now,
so
that
we
can
be
constructing
over
the
winter
before
performances
start
next
year.
But
there
are.
We
are
wrestling
with
lead
time
issues
as
you
described
right.
Thank
you.
I
I
Thank
you
chair.
This
presentation
was
really
timely.
Actually,
two
weeks
ago,
at
national
night
owl,
I
had
a
couple
of
residents.
Well,
constituents
and
como
mentioned
actually
concerns
about
amenities
in
vanclee
park.
Specif
specifically,
so
it's
good
to
have
this
presentation
that
I
can
send
to
them
to
let
them
know
you
know
they're
still
ongoing
kind
of
completion
for
that
park,
and
I
think
also
it
would
just
be
good
to
get
kind
of
on
record.
You
know
how
the
equity
ordinance
is
guiding.
I
You
know
investments
and
amenities,
because
I
think
that
can
help
crystallize
like
why
certain
parks
might
look
different
than
others
and
yeah
just
for
some
of
our
constituents
to
have
that
kind
of
contextualization.
H
Chair
and
remember
that
that's
a
that's
a
great
question.
So
while
we
use
the
equity
metrics
to
determine
the
priority
for
parks,
we
we
have
every
park.
Every
neighborhood
park
in
the
system
is
now
master
planned.
So
we
have
a
general
idea
of
what
will
be
going
into
each
park
when
we
start,
but
before
we
actually
allocate
capital
dollars.
H
We
go
through
an
engagement
process,
that's
the
first
year
of
our
three-year
cycle,
and
so
we
re-initiate
with
the
community
to
make
certain
that
as
we're
dealing
now
with
one
particular
neighborhood
instead
of
a
whole
service
area
that
we
are,
we
can
as
closely
address
their
needs
as
as
possible
and
for
I
think,
you're
mentioning
vancleave
park.
We
just
had
an
opening
there
for
playground
improvements,
kind
of
sparsely
attended
until
the
neighborhood
had
their
their
kids
exploration
thing
and
that's
when
the
popsicles
came
out
and
that's
when
the
kids
came
out.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
just
curious.
I
noticed
a
couple
of
parks,
whittier,
others
that
there
has
been
no
allocations
at
all
yet
and
just
curious.
Yes,
is
that
related
to
the
supply
chain
or.
H
Chair
pomosano
and
president
jenkins,
a
different
supply
issue.
Whittier
has
suffered
because
we
don't
have
enough
project
management
staff
to
be
able
to
deliver.
It
is
one
of
the
things
we're
starting
on
this
year.
We
now
have
a
project
manager
assigned
so
that
project
is
behind
and
it's
a
staffing
issue
and
not
a
supply
chain
issue.
As
member
rainville
was
indicating.
E
H
A
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to
just
remind
my
existing
colleagues
and
and
also
my
new
colleagues.
This
is
sometimes
it
gets
confusing.
You
get
questions
a
lot
from
constituents
about
parks
that
actually
aren't
designated
as
neighborhood
parks.
A
A
While
there
is
a
plan
for
rehabilitation
of
the
bigger,
more
regional
parks
in
our
midst,
that
is
not
related
to
this
capital
investment
plan.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues?
I'm
not
seeing
any.
So.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
report,
and
now
I
will
turn
the
meeting
over
to
president
jenkins
for
item
number
three,
which
is
our
pattern
and
practices
investigations
subcommittee.
E
E
A
J
J
J
There
is
no
such
statute
in
minnesota,
but
the
department
of
mdhr
is
bringing
theirs
under
their
general
authority
under
chapter
363.
The
human
rights
act.
What
is
a
consent
decree?
It's
a
legally
binding
settlement
agreement
between
the
parties
that
submitted
to
the
court,
where
the
court
maintains
supervision
over
the
implementation
of
the
agreement.
J
So,
unlike
most
settlements,
where,
when
you
go
to
court,
you
achieve
the
settlement.
It's
done.
This
has
ongoing
supervision
in
this
case
by
the
federal
court,
over
whatever
the
consent
decree
is
one
of
the
most
significant
features
of
a
consent
decree
is.
It
involves
the
retention
of
an
independent
monitor
who
acts
on
the
behalf
of
the
court.
The
court
is
not
involved
in
day-to-day
review
or
supervision
of
any
consent,
decree
that's
entered
into
by
the
parties
instead.
J
Typically,
what
we've
seen
throughout
the
country
is
the
parties
jointly
hire
a
monitor
who
acts
on
behalf
of
the
court
to
see
that
the
settlement
decree
is
complied
with?
A
monitor
is
usually
a
team
of
people
who
have
significant
experience
both
in
police
practices,
civil
rights,
project
management,
data
analysis
and
other
related
areas,
as
I
said,
they're,
usually
jointly
selected
by
the
doj
and
the
city.
That
is
the
subject
of
the
pattern
and
practice
investigation,
often
times
through
an
rfp
process.
J
One
of
the
issues
you
know:
what
does
consent
decree
look
like
you
know:
what's
it
about
a
consent?
Decree
is
a
very
complicated
document
that
will
control
the
actions
of
a
police
department
in
a
number
of
areas
over
years,
so
what
we
see
are
extremely
complicated
documents.
This
is
a
portion
of
a
page
from
the
consent
decree
between
the
city
of
baltimore
and
department
of
justice.
The
consent
decree
itself
is
250
pages
long,
so
these
are
extremely
complex.
J
J
J
J
Consent.
Decrees,
as
this
slide
says,
the
intent
is
to
require
transformational
change
and
the
city
achieves
this
by
compliance
with
the
consent
decree
when
it
demonstrates
not
only
that
has.
It
has
implemented
all
of
the
required
foundational
improvements
in
training
in
policy
technology
and
operations,
but
that
improvement
has
translated
measurably
and
is
ongoing
throughout
the
history
of
the
consent.
Decree
and
a
number
of
these
consent-
decrees
have
lasted
a
long
time,
so
you
can
see
los
angeles
was
nine
years.
J
J
Currently,
doj,
I
think,
is
the
impression
that
they
would
like
to
have
consent
decrees
be
a
shorter
period
of
time
five
years.
The
idea
behind
the
shorter
period
of
time
is,
they
believe
the
jurisdiction
of
the
police
department
should
be
returned
to
the
local
community,
because,
during
the
consent
decree
the
city
to
a
large
degree
large
degree
loses
control
of
the
police
department.
So,
for
example,
the
mayor
who
has
the
complete
control
of
the
police
department
under
our
charter,
his
authority
is
really
limited
by
what
will
be
put
forward
under
this
consent
decree.
J
J
J
That's
one
of
the
costs
that
the
city
will
incur
as
you
move
forward
on
this
in
the
long
period
for
the
consent
decree
is
developing
and
modifying
the
metrics
that
we
use
to
measure
compliance
and
again,
this
kind
of
goes
back
to
part
of
the
beginning
is
when
parties
negotiate
the
consent
decree,
you
want
to
make
it
as
as
good
as
you
can
at
the
beginning,
so
that
you
don't
end
up
later
on
trying
to
change
terms,
because
either
side
finds
that
they're
not
workable.
J
As
you
move
through
a
consent
decree
process,
a
large
portion
of
this
process
is
developed
to
the
planning
and
the
file
planning
and
policy
phase.
There
will
be
a
significant,
significant
amount
of
time
spent
if
we
enter
into
a
consent
decree
with
the
doj
on
developing
what
are
the
proper
policies
for
the
city?
This
is
on
use
of
force,
arrests,
supervisors,
responsibility
in
reviewing
use
of
force,
the
disciplinary
process.
J
All
of
this
needs
to
be
developed
the
policies,
and
then
the
next
big
phase
is
the
training
phase.
Once
you
do
all
of
these
policies,
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
portion
of
time
where
the
city
has
to
train
not
only
the
street
officers,
but
all
the
supervisory
level
officers
on
all
of
the
new
policies,
including,
like
I
said,
force
or
arrest,
as
well
as
their
obligations
to
review
reports
and
fulfill
their
supervisory
obligations.
J
Then
there's
the
implementation
phase
where
the
the
city
is
actually
and
the
police
farm
is
actually
out
there
following
the
new
training
been
trained
in
implementing
it,
and
then
this
tracking
phase
work
are
they
on
track
on
it?
Is
there
initial
compliance
and
is
there
sustained
compliance
because
the
decree
will
be
lifted
only
if
there's
sustained
compliance
towards
the
end?
J
J
This
slide
presents
what
city
attorney
staff
has
kind
of
learned
as
they've
gone
to
meetings
with
us,
other
cities
that
have
had
consent,
decrees
or
in
the
midst
of
consent.
Decrees.
J
One
of
the
overriding
principles
is:
is
that
sustained,
meaningful
engagement
with
the
community
is
critical
to
the
success
of
a
mentorship?
Monitorship.
Excuse
me:
it's
important
to
select
monitors
who
will
implement
and
prioritize
stakeholder
input.
They
need
to
continue
to
get
community
input
as
we
go
through
the
process.
J
They
have
to
have
a
modern
communication
strategy
so
that
the
cities
can
publish
what
they're
doing
and
be
transparent,
and
so
members
of
the
community
know
what
is
going
on.
It's
also
important.
We've
heard
to
amplify
the
city
city's
successes
as
they
go
through
the
program,
and
the
important
thing
is
that
we've
heard
from
other
cities
that
have
gone
through
this
is
make
sure
that
the
terms
that
are
in
the
consent
decree
are
achievable,
because,
if
they're
not,
then
the
program
doesn't
work
and
again
that
ties
back
into
what
I
said
originally
is
that's.
J
J
J
J
M
Thank
you
tony
ginder.
I
could
be
mistaken,
but
was
there
a
pause
in
the
doj's
investigation
at
all?
I
had
heard
that
sort
of
in
passing
conversation,
and
is
that
you
know
so
because
april
of
april
2021,
which
is
what
I
think
you
said,
is
like
a
long
time.
But
how
long
was
the
pause
and
to
what
degree
did
that
affect
their
timeline?.
J
L
Chair
councilmember
allison,
there
was
a
pause
during
the
federal
criminal
prosecution
of
the
officers
involved
in
the
chauvin,
I'm
sorry,
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
and
that
delayed
their
investigation
by
several
months.
I
want
to
say
it
was
like
four
or
five
months.
There
was
a
pause.
Thank
you.
M
I
I
do
have
additional
questions.
If
the
presentation
is
over,
have
we
wrapped
the.
M
D
E
Yes,
listen.
I
do
want
to
just
note
that
we
have
council
members,
rainville,
payne
and
wansley
in
queue
as
well.
M
Okay,
after
you,
yes
I'll,
try
to
keep
all
my
questions.
Pretty
brief.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
This
is.
This
is
very
helpful.
You
know,
I
would
say
I
will
know.
I
think
it's
a.
It
is
a
little
frustrating
to
know
that,
like
with
this
comes
ballooning,
costs
lack
of
local
control,
which
almost
feel
at
least
initially
like
the
opposite
direction
that
the
community
wants
to
go
when
it
comes
to
managing
the
department.
M
But
you
know
these
are
sort
of
the
consequences
of
of
of
having
a
department
functioning
the
way
it
is
functioning.
A
couple
of
questions
that
I
had
you
know.
One
was
one
question
that
I
had
I've
like
completely
lost
my
train
of
thought.
Sorry,
I
will.
I
will
write
some
of
my
questions
down
and
then
you
can
come
back
to
me
at
the
end
council.
President.
Sorry.
E
Thank
you
councilmember
and
then
councilmember,
rainbill,
payne
and
wensley.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
attorney
gen
attorney.
I
was
giving
you
attorney
general.
I
was
going
to
give
you.
J
L
Council,
member
rainville,
there
is
a
whole
section
of
the
doj
called
the
office
of
justice
programs
that
facilitates
a
lot
of
grants
for
different
purposes,
and
one
of
their
big
sections
of
grants
is
related
to
support
for
police
departments,
particularly
police
departments
that
are
subject
to
consent,
decrees
after
pattern
and
practice
investigations.
L
It's
not
something
that
I
can
put
a
specific
dollar
amount
to,
but
they
are
in
the
business
of
providing
that
support.
Doj
consent.
Decrees
also
oftentimes
provide
what
they
call
technical
assistance
which
isn't
necessarily
financial
support,
but
it
is
expertise
in
helping
to
develop
the
capacity
to
meet
the
terms
of
the
consent
decree.
L
L
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah.
My
question
is
around.
We
know
that
we're
going
to
have
a
consent
decree
with
the
state,
and
we
know
that
the
doj
investigation
is
going
to
be
wrapping
up
likely
with
an
additional
consent
decree.
But
I've
heard
a
desire
to
have
a
single
descent
consent
decree.
Is
that
even
up
to
us
to
determine
that?
And
then
what
would
be
the
potential
conflicts
of
having
two
consent?
Decrees.
J
Councilmember
payne
we're
currently
working
towards
negotiating
a
court
approved
settlement
agreement
with
mdhr,
which
is
similar
to,
but
not
a
consent
decree,
but
the
there
is
an
expressed
concern
that
is
also
acknowledged
by
mdhr
is
if
we
enter
into
a
settlement
agreement
with
them,
and
we
have
a
consent
decree
with
department
of
justice,
how
do
we
ensure
that
there
aren't
conflicting
terms
on
that?
J
How
do
we
ensure
that,
if
there's
a
mechanism
for
expert
assessment
with
mdhr
and
there's
a
monitor
for
the
doj,
and
even
if
the
terms
are
the
same,
how
do
we
avoid
conflicting
interpretation
of
those
terms
and
moving
up
the
chain
to
the
different
judges?
If
there's
a
federal
court
judge
and
a
state
court
judge,
what
do
we
do
to
try
and
lessen
that
chance
of
conflict,
because
that
does
not
serve
either
mdhr
doj
or
the
city?
J
C
Is
there
a
risk?
C
Is
there
some
risk
that
we
may
leave
some
things
on
the
table
or
in
my
understanding
is
this
is
a
core
ordered
agreement
that
we
have
to
get
into
so
in
the
absence
of
us
being
at
the
table
in
theory
there
could
this
could
be
settled
in
a
actual
litigation
matter?
Right
so
are
we
kind
of,
if
is
the
searching
for
a
single
consent,
decree
the
perfect
being
the
enemy
of
the
good.
J
Well
kind
of
going
back
to
councilmember
ellison.
I
don't
know
that.
There's
a
perfect
solution
to
this,
because
the
goal
of
every
city
ultimately
really
is
to
avoid
being
involved
in
the
consent
decree
we're
well
past
that,
where
it
looks
like,
we
will
be
involved
in
consent.
Decrees.
So
now
our
our
obligation
is
to
handle
it
as
best
we
can
in
these
situations.
J
I'm
not
aware
of
anybody
formally
contesting
a
doj
finding
about
entering
into
a
consent
decree,
because
one
of
the
issues
of
the
consent
decree
at
least
both
parties
are
agreeing
if,
in
the
unlikely
situation,
the
city
chose
to
fight
doj
on
something
like
this.
Well,
then
you
lose
the
ability
to
negotiate
on
this,
and
you
would
just
have
an
imposed
decree
on
you.
That
would
likely
not
be
what
you
would
have
have
been
as
good
as
what
you
could
have
negotiated
when
parties
are
each
meeting
together
in
good
faith.
J
J
No
nobody's
fighting
with
mdhr
or
doj
on
this.
You
know
when
this
comes
forward,
we're
going
to
make
the
best
we
can
of
a
difficult
situation,
and
you
know,
obviously
meet
our
fiduciary
obligation
to
the
city
as
well
as
understanding
the
changes
that
have
been
met
by
the
police
department.
J
I
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
take
a
step
back
because
we,
the
last
time
we
had
a
presentation
on
the
consent
decree
process
was
back
in
june
actually
june
14th,
that
cow
meeting
where
commissioner
lucero
came
to
present
on
the
mdhr
findings.
I
So
I'm
since
then
it's
been
kind
of
radio
silence
about
where
we're
at
outside
of.
I
know
there
was
the
sharing
of
the
joint
statement
of
principles,
so
all
that
said
just
for
because
I
know
I
I
continue
to
get
questions
from
my
constituents
about
this
from
june
14th.
To
now
kind
of,
can
you
give
a
synopsis
of
what
has
transpired
around
this
process?.
J
I
can
counsel,
remember
wonzie
and
again
I
won't
go
into
confidential
settlement
discussions,
but
the
parties
have
been
meeting
on
this
with
mdhr
we've
had
a
number
of
meetings.
We
have
a
number
of
meetings
scheduled.
The
meetings
have
been
very,
in
my
mind:
productive
they've,
been
very
cooperative.
Each
side
is
trying
to
make
this
work,
and
so
that's
about
as
much
as
I
can
go
into,
but
you
should
rest
assured
that
there
is
progress
going
forward
on
this
and
that
the
parties
are
really
acting
cooperatively
and
in
good
faith.
I
My
next
question
kind
of
someone
builds
a
pun
council,
member
payne's.
Sorry,
it's
the
light.
Skin
ball,
hey
my
bad
bro,
but
builds
upon
council
member
payne's
question
around
you
know.
This
information
is
great
kind
of
a
national
overview
of
this
process,
but
I'm
still
confused
as
a
legislator.
I
What
is
this
body's
role
and
in
the
consent
decree
process
outside
of
what
you
just
named
us
having
to
assess
and
then
support
any
budget
recommendations
that
comes
along
with
the
cost
of
this
process,
which
I
think
we're
going
to
all
have
to
answer
to
our
constituents
around
this
and
how
we're
being
preventative
and
making
sure
we
don't
get
into
another
situation
where
one
department
is
costing
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars.
That's
also
leading
to
us
retracting
resources
from
other
services.
That's
needed
right
now,
but.
G
J
I
And
just
clarification
because
you
named
this
in
a
presentation,
so
there
would
be
no
outside
of
requested
presentations
like
this.
Maybe
on
you
know,
big
or
macro
level
scale.
Findings
about
consent!
Decrees!
This
legislative
body,
along
with
the
public,
won't
know,
what's
happening
around
negotiations
until
then
we
reach
the
agreement.
So
then
we're
only
approving
that
then
we
approve
the
budget
associated
with
that
and
then
the
monitor
then
will
lead
community
engagement.
Is
that
the
point
where
community
will
be
brought
into
this
process,
then.
J
Councilmember
wansley
no
community
has
been
actively
involved.
Mdhr,
for
example,
have
been
out
in
the
community
regularly
getting
community
input,
but
at
the
time
of
the
approval
by
this,
no
the
community
won't
be
involved
in
the
approval
process
by
the
council,
but
their
input
has
come
to
mdhr
throughout
their
process
leading
up
to
this
stage.
I.
I
Just
want
to
clever,
I
know
the
state
has
proactively
been
leading
on
this.
The
city
necessarily
has
not
matched,
I
think
the
level
of
engagement
around
public.
You
know
bringing
the
public
into
this
process,
so
I'm
thinking
of
that
we
won't
have
that
until
the
monitor
is
selected.
J
During
the
implementation
of
the
process,
after
there's
a
consent
decree,
then
the
public
will
be
involved
as
we
go
through
changes
in
policies
whatever
it
might
be.
Then
there
will
be
public
outreach
at
that
time
generally
through
the
monitor
to
make
sure
that
the
changes
are
in
court
with
what
the
community
desires,
but
they
will
follow
off
of
the
template.
That
is
the
consent
decree
itself
and
for
my.
I
Long-Term
council
members
who've
been
here-
I
know,
especially
through
pogo.
We
get
a
lot
of
these
type
of
joint
agreements.
Will
there
be
some
type
of
public
hearing
on
that?
Since
that's
the
other
point
of
engagement,
this
body
will
have
is
just
approving
the
agreement,
or
so
is
there
going
to
be
a
public
hearing
on
that
or
no.
J
Councilmember
wants,
if
I
understand
your
correction
correctly:
no,
there
will
be
a
presentation
for
council.
I
would
assume
would
be
closed
session
we'll
go
through
that
and
then
the
council
will
approve
or
not
approve,
but
I
assume
it
proves
the
decree
or
an
agreement
with
the
department
of
human
rights.
I
That's
really,
I
would
say
for
me,
disheartening
to
hear
of
the
the
delayed
process
of
bringing
the
public
and
when
the
public
will
have
to
fully
bear
the
cost
of
all
associated
with
this
process
and
have
bear
the
cost
of
it
through
trauma.
So
I
know
for
sure
that's
something
our
office
is
interested
in.
That's
what
we're
constantly
hearing
from
community
members
about
the
lack
of
including
the
public,
at
least
on
the
city
side,
we'll
acknowledge
the
state
department
has
been
taking
the
lead
on
that.
But
that's
that's
really
disappointing
to
hear.
J
Well
in
council
revolutions,
I
would
also
note
that,
although
it
hasn't
been
formally
related
to
any
consent,
decree
process
or
agreement
with
the
settlement
agreement
with
the
mdhr,
the
police
department,
for
example,
is
regularly
in
contact
with
community
groups.
You
may
have
witnessed
an
agreement
that,
with
the
unity
community
thing,
unity,
community
organization,
where
they've
been
involved
with
discussion
with
various
groups
of
people,
so
they've
had
input
from
community
members
in
other
settings
too.
E
I
don't
see
any
other.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
councilmember
ellison.
M
Sorry
I
put
myself
in
queue,
but
I
don't
know
if
it's
going
through
here
on
the
phone
yeah.
Sorry
for
earlier.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
patient.
So
I
had
a.
I
had
a
couple
of
questions.
One
question
was
a
was
around:
do
we
have
a
sense
of
how
many
cities
have
had
two
decrees?
You
know
I
know
that
there's
been
43
total.
That
was
a
part
of
the
one
of
the
slides,
but
do
we
know
which
cities?
M
I
know
that
some
cities
have
had
their
decrees
extended.
That
were
like
initially
supposed
to
be
five
years,
but
then
you
know
are
going
on
year,
12
or
eight.
Do
we
know
how
many
cities
have
had?
Maybe
two
decrees
in
since
the
doj
started,
doing
them.
J
Councilor
allison,
to
my
knowledge,
that
would
be
none.
M
Okay
cool.
I
thought
I
would
ask
that
because
I
know
that
some
some
of
these
degrees
have
gone
on
so
long.
I
can't
remember
when
which
slide
it
was,
but
I
know
that
there's
yeah
one
city
has
you
know
year,
12
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
you're.
M
Over
10
years
yeah,
and
that
happens
because
they're
not
they're,
not
meeting
the
standard
of
the
decree.
J
It
could
be
a
number
of
reasons:
they're
not
meeting
the
standards
of
the
agreement.
Standards
have
changed
and
they've
agreed
to
put
in
additional
terms
that
they've
tried
to
move
forward
as
additional
terms.
Community
concerns
have
come
forward.
There
could
be
several
reasons
or
they
found
that
the
original
terms
weren't
really
workable,
so
they've
had
to
change
course.
So
there
could
be
a
number
of
reasons
that
they've
extended
that
long,
but
the
goal
is
in
more
modern
terms,
for
doj
is
to
try
and
get
it
back
under
community
control.
M
Faster,
thank
you.
Speaking
of
monitors.
I
was
curious
about
how
we
sort
of
grade
or
or
or
assess
a
monitor's
background.
I
know
that
you
know
I've
heard
a
lot
of
concern
from
community
members
and
I
know
that
none
of
us
have
done
as
much
robust
community
outreach.
So
I
don't
want
to
say
that
this
is
like
what
every
constituent
thinks,
but
I've
certainly
had
a
constituent
ask
me
this
question.
M
You
know
there's
a
bit
of
a
of
a
double-edged
sword
where
law
enforcement
agencies,
even
if
they're
different
agencies
are
at
least
perceived
by
the
community,
to
sort
of
have
each
other's
back
so
to
speak,
but
are
also
probably
the
most
equipped
to
judge
and
grade
another
law
enforcement
agency's
performance.
You
know
when
we're
looking
for
a
monitor.
You
know
how
do
we
assess
that
monitor
for
bias
one
way
or
another?
M
You
know
basically,
meaning
how
do
we
assess
whether
a
monitor
is
going
to
be
completely
neutral
and
great
on
the
merits
or
whether
that
monitor
is
going
to
have.
You
know
a
lot
of
empathy
for
mpd
and
maybe
be
a
little
bit
more
lacks
in
how
they're
grading
their
progress.
J
Council
royals-
and
I
you
know-
that's,
that's
that's
a
good
question.
I
think
part
of
that
will
go
through
what
most
likely
is
like
likely
to
be
an
rfp
process
where
people
will
come
forward
or
groups
will
come
forward
seeking
to
get
the
position
of
monitor.
J
J
M
Absolutely
so
the
doj
will
have
some
input
or
in
who
the
monitor
ends
up
being
and
then
two
quick,
ques,
two
more
quick
questions.
One
is
you
know,
even
at
12
years.
Well,
that's
a
plenty
long
time,
it's
a
short
amount
of
time.
In
the
grand
scope
of
I
mean
municipalities,
existence.
M
How
do
we
ensure
you
know
or
or
what?
What
are
we?
You
know?
What's
the
mayor's
office
thinking
or
what
is
the
attorney's
office
thinking
in
terms
of
ensuring
that
we
can
continue
to
assess
you
know
our
department,
even
after
the
monitor
is
gone
even
after
the
doj
has
said:
hey
things
are
looking
great,
certainly
looking
better
than
they
did
five
years
ago,
eight
years
ago,
12
years
ago,
you
know
how?
J
Councilor
elsin,
you
know
again
a
good
question.
I
think
part
of
that
is
how
this
process
goes
through
and
what
you
leave
in
place.
If
there
are
project
managers
that
stay
in
place
that
are
retained
by
the
city
that
you
know
report
out
to
the
mayor's
office,
or
maybe
report
back
to
the
council
saying
these
id
these
things
that
we
are
tracking
they're,
still
tracking,
appropriately
we're
still
in
a
good
place.
J
M
Then
the
last
is
less
of
a
question
just
more
of
an
observation
that
really
resonated
with
me.
I
you
know
meet
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
in
my
in
in
my
ward,
who
are
both
hopeful,
but
also
maybe
a
little
bit
skeptical
about
what
kind
of
you
know
how
effective
this
will
be.
M
How
effective
any
strategy
will
be,
I
think,
that's
you
know
understandable,
considering
some
people's
engagement
with
mpd
and
accountability
and
all
of
that-
and
there
was
a
scene
in
in
the
show
we
own
the
city
that
just
came
out
recently
about
baltimore's
consent,
decree
and
there's
a
scene
between
the
doj,
invest
investigator
and
a
community
member
and
he's
asking
the
doj
a
staff
person.
M
You
know
okay,
they
violate
and
then
what
and
then
she
kind
of
walks
them
through
the
process
and
he
goes
okay
and
then
what
and
then
what
and
essentially
what
he
was
getting
at
with
the
community
member
was
getting
at
in
in
the
show.
And
what
I've
heard
a
lot
of
concern
about
is
that
the
is
that
the
the
the
ultimate
accountability
will
be
on
residence
in
the
form
of
the
expense,
but
that
you
know,
but
that
the
the
teeth
still
won't
quite
be
there.
M
And
so
I
know
that,
as
we
enter
into
this
process,
I'm
both
very
hopeful
that
we're
going
to
create
something
meaningful.
But
I
also
just
want
both
for
my
colleagues
and
the
public
and
and
for
for
for
for
all
of
us
to
just
keep
that
in
mind.
M
You
know
we
can
go
through
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
this
process,
but
we've
got
to
be
able
to
answer
those
questions
of
you
know
when
violations
of
occur
and
then
what
you
know
and
what
are
we
doing
and
how
far
are
we
willing
to
go
in
order
to
hold
institutions
accountable,
hold
ourselves
accountable
and
and
to
ensure
that
we're
not
sort
of
you
know
dragging
this
process
on,
for
you
know,
eight
years,
12
years,
if,
if
we
can,
if
we
can
sort
of
grin
and
bear
it
and
get
it
done
in
five
or
whatever
the
terms
are
so
yeah,
it
resonated
with
me,
and
so
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
I'll
be
thinking
about
as
we
enter
into
this
process.
E
Yeah
great
questions
and
I
think,
potentially
we
can
build
something
into
our
audit
process
to
oversee
the
police
department
with
large,
as
well
as
the
consent
decree,
slash
enforceable
agreement
so
that
that
could
be
one
tool
and
I
think
there
may
be
others
as
well.
Councilmember
asmin.
N
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
president.
My
question
is:
do
we
have
a
timeline,
or
can
you
guess
a
timeline
where
doj
finding
will
be
will
be
releasing?
They
will
release
that
information
and
win
this
consent
agreement
possible.
The
timeline.
J
Counselor
osman,
I'd
be
just
guessing
and
I'm
reluctant
to
do
that.
We're
hopeful
that
they're
near
the
end
of
discovery,
so
that
that
then
would
start
to
look
for
several
months
down
the
line
that
possibly
something
would
occur.
But
we
don't
know
for
sure
if
they're
done
with
discovery-
and
we
don't
know
how
long
they
might
take
to
review
this.
So
I
I'm
reluctant
to
hazard
a
guess
and
when
we
might
see
something
from
doj.
L
President,
if
the
doj
makes
findings
that
the
police
department
is
and
the
city
is
engaged
in
a
pattern
and
practice
of
unlawful
policing,
they
release
a
public
findings
report.
If
they
do
not
make
those
findings,
they
will
close
the
investigation.
There
would
not
be
a
public
report.
We
anticipate
there
being
a
findings
report
released.
N
Okay
and
one
last
question,
I
think,
just
going
back
to
the
failure
of
this
agreement
from
let's
say
the
city:
has
there
been
any
yeah,
I
think
you
talked
about
a
timeline,
continue
extending
the
consent
agreement
having
that
agreement
in
place
for
that
long.
Is
that
the
solution
or
is
there
have
do
you
have
any
example
of
other
cities
where
you
know
they
don't
comply
with
the
agreement
and
they
keep
continuing
violating
people's
rights
and
police
misconduct
and
stuff
like
that?
L
Council,
member
osman,
council
president,
the
doj
has
the
right
to
enforce
the
agreement
through
the
federal
courts
if
they
conclude
that
the
city
is
not
meeting
the
terms
of
the
agreement.
L
So
if
there
was
a
you
know,
substantial
non-compliance,
they
then
have
the
right
to
enforce
it
and
if,
if
necessary,
they
could
sue
the
city
to
get
like
injunctive
relief,
basically
to
get
the
city
to
stop
doing
what
you
know
they
conclude
are
the
the
violations.
L
You
know
the
the
federal
law
that
provides
the
doj
with
this
authority
provides
for
the
right
to
ask
the
court
for
what's
called
injunctive
relief.
So
they
can
ask
the
court
to
order
certain
things
to
happen
rather
than
like
money
damages.
L
So
really
it's
not
specified
beyond
just
the
concept
of
injunctive
relief
and
to
my
knowledge
that
hasn't
happened
in
the
past.
O
I
would
love
to
actually
start
with
talking
about
costs.
I
you
know,
I
understand
all
of
the
different
pieces
that
go
into
it
with
the
monitor
technology,
personnel
etc.
O
Like
just
how
much
money
are
we
talking
about,
and-
and
I
understand
that
you
can't
give
us
an
exact
number,
but
you
know,
are
we
talking
in
the
hundreds
of
thousands?
Are
we
talking
in
the
millions
and
mult
like
tens
of
millions
right
like
so
just
oh,
and
I
understand
that
it.
The
cost
is
also
determined
by
how
long
we
are
in
the
decree,
but.
J
Councilmember
chuck
those
costs
can
vary
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
reasonably
you
could
expect
the
cost
to
be
in
excess
of
a
million
dollars
a
year
and
maybe
well
above
that
it
can
depend
on
factors
such
as
what
is
the
status
of
the
city's
police
department
when
it
enters
into
the
consent
decree?
How
current
are
there
policies?
How
many
policies
have
to
be
changed?
J
How
much
additional
training
has
to
be
done,
and
so
the
more
prepared
a
city
is
when
it
enters
into
it.
A
decree,
for
example,
they've
been
making
efforts
to
bring
their
policies
up
to
standard
already
and
training
on
new
issues
already
that
might
have
an
impact
on
how
much
is
spent,
for
example,.
J
O
Figured
that
would
be
the
case,
so
just
over
a
million
dollars
a
year
makes
sense,
it
could
range
to
be
higher
than
that,
but
are
there
like?
Are
there
upfront
costs
that
will
be
higher
the
first
year?
And
then
you
know
it'll
it'll,
balance
out
after
that.
J
Counselor
checked,
I
that's
possible.
I
mean
depending
on,
for
example,
if
when,
when
a
personnel
hired,
you
know
if,
if
all
personnel
hired
the
first
year,
then
that
cost
will
stay
flat,
but
it's
an
initial
jump
but
it'll
stay
flat.
That's
probably
unlikely
to
happen
because,
as
we
go
through
it,
then
you
start
adding
people
as
the
program
develops.
So
there
might
be
a
smaller
cost
and
then
it
gets
a
little
bigger.
The
second
year.
O
O
That's
really
helpful,
thank
you
and
then
you
mentioned
earlier.
I
think
you
were
responding
to
somebody
else's
question
about
with
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
we
are
entering
into
or
we
will
be
entering
into
a
court
approved
settlement
agreement
and
that
it
is
different
from
a
consent
decree.
Can
you
can
you
just
help
us
understand
what
those
differences
might
be.
J
Well,
they
are
constantly
protected
they're,
very
similar
in
the
sense
that
they
will
both
be
approved
by
court
and
that
the
parties
do
agree
to
it.
It'll
be
different
in
the
sense
it's
a
state.
Instead
of
a
federal
there
will
be
others.
You
know
minor
differences
too,
but
there
is,
you
know,
an
overlay.
You
know
significant
overlay
and
what
they're
like.
O
That's
helpful,
thank
you
and
then
earlier
in
your
presentation,
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
community
engagement
being
very
crucial
in
ensuring
the
success
of
a
consent
decree.
I
from
what
I
understand
the
community
engagement.
That's
happened
in
the
development
of
or
in
the
aftermath
of
the
mdhr
investigation
has
been
something
that's
that,
like
mdhr,
has
led
on
right.
Those
community
engagement
sessions
around
the
city.
O
I
would
assume
that
the
department
of
justice
does
not
have
similar
plans
or
or
wouldn't
have
a
similar
level
of
prioritization
of
that
type
of
work
in
minneapolis,
so
one
I
could
be
wrong
about
that
and
would
love
clarification
or
you
know
what
is
our
plan
as
a
city
to
do
that
type
of
community
engagement.
J
L
I
I
don't
councilman
jonathan,
I
I
don't
know
on
what
the
doj
would
have
planned.
I
think
that
it
has
differed
quite
a
bit
in
different
cities
based
on
just
the
circumstances
there
and
a
lot
of
the
courts.
You
know
have
specific
requirements
for
what
the
court
wants
to
see
in
terms
of
public
engagement
at
all
stages.
L
It
could
be
hearings,
it
could
be
a
website.
It
could
be
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
the
the
community
engagement
process,
I
think
to
this
point-
has
been
led
by
the
minnesota
department
of
human
resources
as
their
I'm
sorry.
The
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
as
they've
been
enforcing
their
jurisdiction
and
getting
feedback
on
how
they've
concluded.
L
There's
probable
cause
that
you
know
people's
rights
under
that
act
have
been
violated,
and
so
the
community
engagement
is
kind
of
under
that
lens,
and
you
know
as
we're
the
the
subject
of
the
investigation,
that's
kind
of
the
the
perspective
on
the
community
engagement
so
far,
I
think
that'll
change
as
we
go
forward.
J
In
in
council
also,
it's
you
know.
The
investigation,
for
example
by
doj
or
mdhr,
are
their
investigations
and
they're
implementing
what
they
believe
are
the
community
desires.
And
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
they've
led
the
charge
on
this
and
they've
held
all
the
meeting
meetings
that
they
have
with
the
community,
because
it's
their
charge,
their
investigation.
O
Got
it
and
then
the
list
of
consent?
Decrees
that
that
you
shared
the
ones
that
have
ended?
I
would
imagine
that
the
the
those
consent
decrees
end
when
the
terms
that
are
negotiated
are
met,
and
I
imagine
that
the
city
attorney's
office
has
done
extensive
research
into
these
other
consent.
Decrees
in
cities.
Kind
of
around
the
country
have
have
in
that
work.
Have
you
been
able
to
find
or
capture
the
degrees
of
success
in
those
changes
like
have
the
changes
that
were
required
within
that
consent?
O
Decree
like?
Did
they
outlast
the
consent
decree?
Did
they
stay
in
place
following
the
end
of
the
consent,
decree
and
council.
J
J
That
question
depends
on
who
you
talk
in
the
very
who
you
talked
to
the
various
cities.
We've
talked
to
people
that
I
know
that
felt
that
it
has
made
significant
changes.
J
Conversely,
councilmember
ellison's
example,
people
may
not
feel
that
the
change
has
really
been
transformational,
that
there's
still
issues,
and
so
there
are
people
in
seattle
that
think
it's
been
a.
You
know
a
really
good
thing
and
there
are
people
that
kind
of
go.
You
know
we've
spent
10
years
on
this
and
we
don't
think
it's
achieved
what
we
hoped.
D
J
O
J
J
That's
more
important
than
maybe,
if
you've
checked
every
box
off
here,
but
if
the
community
feels
that
there's
been
real
change
to
me,
that's
success
and
that
you
know
there
are
ways
to
measure
that
you
know
as
you
get
towards
the
end
of
that.
You
know
surveys
other
things
and
that's
just
personally.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
thought
about
this.
Sarah,
but
that's
that's
my
idea
of
success.
If,
if
people
in
the
community
believe
that
there's
been
real
change,.
O
Got
it
and
then
like
just
a
final
question
on
like
what
has
our
communication
with
the
department
of
justice
been
like
as
we
you
know
near
the
end
of
their
investigation,
you
know
beyond
just
us
providing
them
with
all
the
materials
they
asked
for
all
the
things
that
we
did
with
the
department
of
human
rights
and
then
what's
the
communication
between
the
department
of
justice,
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
looks
like
since
we're
you
know
kind
of
it's
the
same
subject
matter
a
similar
type
of
thing.
J
E
E
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
my
colleagues
councilmember
payne.
C
C
Yeah-
and
I
mean
more
specifically,
the
question
would
be:
will
the
agreement
that
we
negotiate
with
mdhr
be
more
or
less
in-depth
compared
to
your
expected
doj
findings
and
whatever
agreement
we
would
come
to
there.
J
Counselor
pain,
I
I
can't
speak
to
other
jurisdictions,
and
the
only
thing
I
will
say
about
what
going
on
concurrently,
I
mean
we're
both
both
doj
and
mdhr
are
looking
at
the
same
factual
patterns.
You
know
same
racially
biased
delivery
of
police
services
and
those
similar
issues,
so
obviously
they
will
cover
the
same
ground
and
that's
again
why
I
originally
raised
the
concern
of
no
conflict
in
that.
E
Well,
I
don't
see
any
further
questions
and
I
will
just
direct
the
clerk
to
file
the
report
and
I
will
turn
the
chair
back
to
council
vice
president
palmisano
to
chair
the
remainder
of
the
meeting,
and
thank
you,
mr
ginder
and
ms
later,
for
this
presentation
today.
A
Thank
you,
council,
president.
Last
before
committee
reports,
we
have
the
walk-on
item
that
I
previously
mentioned
from
the
clerk's
office
regarding
voter
services.
I
will
ask
director
casey
carl,
to
provide
some
detailed
information
about
this
and
colleagues.
You've
received
this
in
your
email
from
the
city
clerk
as
well
as
the
rca
is
before
us.
K
Madam
chair,
thank
you.
I'm
casey,
carl,
the
city
clerk,
as
you
noted,
with
sincere
apologies,
but
hopefulness.
We
are
asking
for
approval
of
acceptance
of
a
donation
from
the
minneapolis
foundation,
totaling
150
000.
This
is
a
one-time
grant
with
no
match
required
by
the
city
from
the
minneapolis
foundation,
which
is
intended
to
help
bolster
voter
outreach,
engagement
efforts
led
by
the
city
and
with
our
civic
partners
throughout
the
community.
As
noted
in
your
packet,
the
focus
will
be
on
voter
outreach,
voter
registration,
voter
education
and
even
election
judge
recruitment.
K
We
are
hopeful
to
get
this
started
and,
as
you
know,
sometimes
these
grants
come
open
at
the
last
minute,
as
is
the
case
here.
The
general
election,
as
you
know,
is
tuesday
november
8th
and
the
early
voting
period
for
this
year's
general
election
starts
in
just
38
days
on
friday
september
23rd.
So,
in
order
to
support
these
efforts,
we're
hopeful
to
get
approval
of
the
acceptance
of
this
grant.
K
Some
of
the
issues
that
we
would
like
to
do
with
this
money,
then,
is
to
include
a
utility
bill
stuffer
for
all
households
in
the
september
utility
bill,
which
that
was
due.
10
days
ago,
so
we're
already
behind
our
deadline
to
get
the
stuffers
done
to
get
out
information
about
early
voting
to
all
households.
K
We
also,
as
this
body
knows,
produce
every
year,
a
voter
guide
that
goes
to
every
household
that
usually
goes
out
in
the
final
weeks
just
before
the
general
election,
so
this
year,
we'd
be
targeting
the
week
of
october
17th
to
21st
and
then
also
through
small
grants
to
our
community
partners
that
serve
especially
our
underrepresented
groups.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
total
acceptance
is
for
150
000.
It
is
a
one-time
grant
from
the
minneapolis
foundation.
No
match
is
required.
K
The
allocation
would
go
into
the
elections
and
voter
services
budget,
if
approved
by
this
body.
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
that
the
body
might
have.
A
I
Thank
you
clerk
carl.
I
from
my
understanding
I
know
doing
voter
turn
out
is
not
the
city's
role.
You've
shared
this
multiple
times.
Our
job
is
to
hold
a
free
and
fair
election
and
year
after
year,
our
amazing
elections
department
that
you
lead
up.
We
we
do
that.
It's
nationally
recognized
from
my
understanding.
We've
had
conversations
about
this.
I
So
if
the
ultimate
goal,
and
from
my
understanding
of
this
this
this
partnership
through
this
grant,
is
to
increase,
you
know
turn
out,
especially
in
areas
where
we're
might.
Where
am
I
not
seeing
that?
What
to
me,
it
seems
like
it
would
be
better
served
to
have
those
funds
go
towards
organizations
that
do
that
work.
So
could
you
share
kind
of
like
what
is
preventing?
I
You
know
the
minneapolis
foundation
from
just
doing
this,
like
working
with
community
partners,
to
do
that.
Voter
outreach
and
letting
the
city
continue
to
stick
to
our
lane
of
just
running
the
free
and
fair
elections.
Kind
of
what
prevents
that.
K
Sure,
through
the
chair,
councilman
wansley,
I'm
first
going
to
start
by
reframing.
You
talked
about
voter
turnout,
I'll
say
since
2013
and
prior
to
that,
when
I
first
came
in
2010,
I've
really
tried
to
focus
on
voter
services,
which
we
changed,
the
name
of
the
group
to
elections
and
voter
services,
because
I
do
think
there
is
a
role
for
the
city
to
play
in
terms
of
not
turnout
per
se.
I
can't
force
people
to
come
and
vote,
but
in
terms
of
engagement,
education
and
telling
people
when
and
where
and
how
they
can
vote.
K
I
remember
going
through
this
exercise
years
ago,
when
I
first
started
the
process
of
saying
we
should
be
engaged
as
a
city
in
voter
outreach
and
education.
By
saying,
as
a
corporate
example,
target
on
its
shelves
produces
or
offers
lots
of
different
brands
and
companies
which
might
be
candidates
and
questions.
They
don't
necessarily
endorse
those,
but
they
do
make
information
available
to
all
shoppers
about
when
their
store
is
open.
What
kind
of
convenience
they
have
what
hours
they're
available
the
friendliness
of
their
clerks?
I
think
that's
the
comparable.
K
I
would
make
we're
not
necessarily
pushing
voter
turnout.
We
are,
however,
through
engagement,
outreach
and
education.
Saying
hey
did
you
know
in
38
days,
early
voting
is
starting.
Here's
where
you
can
vote
early,
we're
going
to
have
additional
early
vote
locations
for
the
general
election.
Here's
where
they're
going
to
be
located,
here's
the
hours
they're
going
to
be
open.
Did
you
know
that
you
can
vote
by
mail
in
person
early
or
on
election
day?
If
you
aren't
registered
here's
how
to
do
it
by
the
way?
Here's
a
form.
K
K
That
said,
the
minneapolis
foundation
does
has
for
years
and
will
continue
to
provide
grants
directly
to
community
agencies,
I'm
hesitant
to
say
this
in
case
I'm
wrong
from
either
too
too
long
ago
from
my
memory,
which
increasingly
is
shorter
and
shorter.
But
in
my
time
I
don't
believe
the
city's
gotten.
A
grant
for
voter
outreach
and
education
from
the
minneapolis
foundation.
They
have
always
supported
community-based
groups.
I've
always
gone
and
asked
them
to
give
us
money,
and
their
response
has
heretofore
been
that's
the
city's
job
you
pay
for
that.
Out
of
the
general
fund.
K
The
mayor's
office,
I
know,
worked
really
hard
with
the
minneapolis
foundation
this
year
and
was
successful
in
getting
this
attention
for
the
city
to
say,
hey.
We
really
do
a
lot
of
that
work,
not
necessarily
around
voter
turnout
or
driving
people
to
the
polls,
but
we
do
partner
in
terms
of
that
education,
and
we
actually
already
do
through
this.
Council's
action
in
the
last
term
provide
what
I'll
call
small
grants
to
our
community
partners
so
that
they
can
go
to
that
work
too.
I
And
I
think
kind
of
just
laying
a
general
kind
of
concern.
That's
underlining
all
this
is
just
the
perception
of
us
taking
private
money
to
coordinate
a
public
service,
and
I
know
there
this
might
be
a
benevolent
or
neutral
use
of
these
private
funds
in
this
particular
instance,
but
it
it
does
lay
kind
of
this.
I
This
perception
of
you
know
political
organizations,
because
I
do
want
to
know
minneapolis
foundation
is
a
political
organization
and
them
having
some
involvement
with
what
is
supposed
to
be
a
public
service
free
from
that
type
of
political
activity
and
something
that
we
would
generally
shouldn't
want
to
do,
and
I'm
glad
that
you
brought
up
target
for
instance,
so,
just
knowing
this,
this
will
be
establishing
a
new
president
could
target
them
in
the
future
or
even
the
chamber
of
commerce.
I
know
they've
brought
forth
resolutions
before
for
gifts.
Could
they
also
extend
our
offer
to?
K
It's
this
bodies
to
determine
whether
or
not
to
accept
those
funds,
and
I
would
say
this
is
not
precedental
in
terms
of
setting
the
first
time
in
2020
we
actually
did
receive,
and
this
body
accepted
grant
funds
to
support
voter
outreach
and
education
in
the
presidential
year
election
and
and
we
actually
took
that
money
in
order
to
provide
important
services
in
terms
of
outreach
and
education
and
were
taken
to
court
for
it,
and
the
court
sustained
our
right
to
do
that.
So
I
think
that
this
doesn't
set
that
precedent.
K
We've
already
been
there
and
any
kinds
of
gifts
to
the
city
would
have
to
come
to
this
body
for
its
consideration.
So
in
this
case
it's
from
the
minneapolis
foundation,
150
000,
we're
tying
that
I
mean
150
000
is
not
going
to
get
a
slot.
We
don't
want
to
minimize
the
gift,
but
doing
two
mailers
is
probably
going
to
consume.
Most
of
that
could.
I
You
name
also
when
we
went
to
court
what
what
was
that
organization
and
I
met
with
presidents-
you
mentioned
this-
will
be
the
first
time
that
we've
entered
or
received
a
donation.
Specifically,
you
know
for
your
some
time
of
you
laboring
for
this
with
the
minneapolis
foundation.
This
will
be
the
first
time,
but
do
you
recall,
like
the
other
organization
that
took
us
to
or
that
we
were
trying
to
do
this
with
and
we
went
to
court
just
trying
to
see
if
there
are
similarities
between
those
respective
organizations.
K
The
council
member
wansley,
the
group
that
we
received
the
grant
from
in
2020-
I
can't
remember
the
official
name-
is
the
center
for
civic
technology.
It's
a
national
group
that
was
giving
out
grants
to
cities
across
the
united
states
in
the
face
of
shortages
at
local
levels
to
promote
turnout
in
a
presidential
election
year.
We
were
one
of
many
cities
that
received
funds
from
that
group
through
a
competitive
process
and
we're
grateful
to
have
those
funds
reported
that
out
to
the
body
happy
to
provide
more
information
to
you
on
on
that
specific
grant.
I
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
questions.
Thank
you
clerk,
carl
for
helping
to
explain.
This
is
not
the
first
time
we've
accepted
this
type
of
money
before
I
do
have
a
question,
though,
about
it
being
a
comeback
about
its
one-time
nature,
and
I
see
in
the
rca
that
it
does
say
we
would
expend
it
all
this
year,
but
in
the
event
that
we
don't
expend
it
all
this
year,
can
it
be
used
in
future
years
or
would
that
take
a
different
motion?
Or
I
mean
how.
K
At
the
end
of
the
year,
madam
president,
vice
president
at
the
end
of
the
year,
of
course,
any
unused
funds
is
determined
by
this
body.
What
to
do
if
that
would
be
eligible
to
be
rolled
over
for
use
next
year.
Can't
imagine
we'll
have
any
funds
left
over
from
this
amount
of
a
grant,
but
if
it
were,
then
we
would
come
before
the
body,
and
you
know
seek
that
role
over
authority.
A
Thank
you.
That's
all
the
discussion
that
I
see
on
this
topic.
I
will
try
a
voice
vote
on
this
all
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
I
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
motion
carries
thank.

Q
A
Thank
you
at
committee
of
the
whole,
as
you
know,
we'll
be
sending
forward
the
one
item
from
the
minneapolis
foundation
regarding
voter
services
efforts
this
thursday.
But
second,
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
mention
council
member
chavez,
and
I
are
in
a
lot
of
these
conversations
about
planning
future
committee
of
the
holes
at
agenda
setting,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
brief
update
on
our
government.
Restructure
efforts.
As
you
all
know,
and
thank
you
for
participating.
We've
begun
council
level
briefings
from
staff
regarding
our
current
government
structure
work.
A
A
Ask
me
anything
kind
of
review
with
a
member
of
the
charter
commission,
so
that
we
can
ask
the
charter
commission
directly
some
of
the
questions
that
we've
had
as
we
go
through
this
work
together
and
also,
I
anticipate
that
we
will
likely
have
a
public
hearing
for
the
appointee
to
city
attorney,
kristin
anderson
at
that
time,
when's
the
next
day,
wednesday
september
7th,
is
the
date
that's
currently
being
vetted
through
your
council
offices
as
the
potential
date
for
a
study
session
about
the
public
safety
departments
and
the
connectivity
between
those
departments.
A
Specifically,
the
city
clerk's
office
has
been
asking
that
we
reserve
many
of
the
wednesday
mornings
before
council
meetings
for
future
study
sessions
on
different
topics.
I've
seen
a
couple
of
them,
then
the
following
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
september
20th,
is
when
we
at
this
point
plan
to
have
enough
work
done
to
present
on
the
topic
of
government
restructure
again.
So
that
will
be
a
large
and
long
presentation,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
for
the
public
that
that's
where
we're
at
on
these
efforts.
