F
Thank
you,
chair
vita.
I
just
had
a
couple
questions
regarding
item
one
and
two
and
actually
seven
as
well,
but
in
terms
of
items
two.
It
would
be
really
good
if
we
have
any
staff
who
can
speak
to
the
efficacy
of
this
task
force.
You
know
I
recognize
human
trafficking
as
a
significant
concern
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we're
taking
it
up
here
and
collaborations
with
other.
F
You
know
governmental
jurisdictions,
of
course,
always
interested
to
know
at
how
mpd
strives
to
deliver
effective
supports
in
areas
like
this
but
yeah.
I
wanted
to
know
if
there's
any
staff,
who
can
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
this
task
task
force
also,
what
are
some
of
the
progress?
Metrics,
that's
going
to
be
shaping
this
work
and
if
there's
any
ways
in
which
you
know,
council
members
here
on
this
committee
can
also
support
them
in
meeting
some
of
those
metrics.
G
Committee,
chair
and
council
member,
we
have
several
people
here
from
the
police
department,
including
emily
olson,
who
is
the
analyst
on
this
task
force
and
I'm
sure
she'd
be
happy
to
answer
your
questions.
Emily.
H
Hi
I'm
lieutenant
olsen,
I'm
the
sex
crimes,
lieutenant
also
I'm
the
lieutenant
of
the
human
trafficking
sex
trafficking
task
force,
as
well
as
the
predatory
offender
registration
unit
and
susan
webb
as
the
analyst
who's
assigned
to
the
bureau
of
criminal
apprehension,
she's
contracted
through
mpd
to
the
task
force.
H
So
I
would
say
that
what
we're
doing
currently
and
why
we
have
this
task
force
is
there's
a
large
population
that
is
high
risk,
especially
in
our
encampments,
we're
seeing
that
there's
a
large
population
that
is
unserved
and
we
are
seeing
a
lot
of
sex
trafficking
and
human
trafficking,
and
so,
in
order
to
reach
out
to
them,
we
use
utilize
susan
webb
quite
a
bit
to
find
them
and
then
to
maintain
contact
with
them.
H
To
find
them
is
difficult
and
then
to
maintain
contact
with
them
is
even
more
difficult.
So
that's
why
we
have
the
task
force.
We
also
use
this
task
force
to
then
in
turn,
try
and
find
the
perpetrators
and
to
take
them
off
the
street.
We
use
online
and
I'm
sorry
online
measures
to
try
and
mitigate
some
of
those
circumstances
for
metrics.
I
do
have
them
report
back
to
me
after
details,
so
for
instance,
because
I
have
a
for
instance,
they
did
a
detail
on
the
24th
of
march
and
they
were
used
well.
H
Actually,
I'm
going
to
have
you
speak
to
what
they
did,
but
they
were
able
to
arrest
four
people
and
they
did
that
through
ramsey
county.
So
they
do
it
through
multiple
counties.
It
isn't
just
minneapolis
or
hennepin
county.
They
do
go
throughout
the
state
and
they
do
these
details.
I
would
say,
on
average
about
once
a
month
to
try
and
use
the
perpetrator
rather
than
the
victim,
but
most
of
the
time
it
comes
to
our
reports
as
well
as
reaching
out
through
other
social
service
agencies.
I
So
we
do
have
those
kind
of
things.
Those
numbers
as
far
as
metrics
goes
that
we
could
show-
and
we've
been
a
part
of
this
task
force
for
the
last
four
years
and
we
were
primarily
funded
by
ojp
grant
funding
and
because
of
a
cut
in
the
funding,
which
only
brings
our
grant
through
june
of
2023
this
year
or
sorry
next
year.
I
But
that's
why
the
additional
funding
is
on
the
table
and
then
to
speak
to
emily's
point
last
week
we
did
a
detail
and
last
we
have
three
different
types
of
details,
but
we
did
a
juvenile
demand,
suppression
detail.
So
that's
where
we
target
people
who
are
looking
to
have
sex
with
a
15
year
old.
I
And
so
that's
the
other
type
of
detail
that
will
perform
very
regularly
and
those
are
the
details
where
a
lot
of
the
traffickers
and
the
cases
come
from
those
trafficking
cases,
but
primarily
it's
vulnerable
youth
that
are
victims.
So
that
is
our
main
focus.
F
Thank
you
you
both.
I
absolutely
would
love
to
see
a
presentation
on
this
specific
area.
I
think
it's
the
under
you
know
publicized
area
of
our
public
safety
work,
especially
in
thinking
of
how
many
you
know,
as
you
mentioned,
vulnerable
youth,
those
who
face
housing,
insecurity,
end
up
being
trafficked,
so
would
love
to
see
some
of
the
ways
in
which
our
city
is
working
to
address
a
very
significant
concern.
So
absolutely
thank
you
for
providing
more
context
on
that.
I
Yeah
and
then
one
thing
that
we
say
in
our
unit
is:
human
trafficking
is
the
most
underreported
crime
in
the
biggest
growing
criminal
enterprise.
So
that's
you
know,
although
numbers
don't
always
show
it's
a
lot
of
work
behind
the
scenes
to
develop
the
cases.
F
Yes,
we'll
love
to
learn
more
about,
as
you
mentioned,
I
see
in
on,
on
the
same
part,
with
domestic
violence
rates,
again
very
targeted,
and
often
we
don't
hear
about
it,
there's
so
much
under
reporting,
but
especially
with
the
pandemic,
knowing
that
we're
also
if
there
is
if
the
rates
were
reported,
would
probably
be
extremely
high,
so
would
love
to
learn
more
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
at
the
city.
You
know
to
really
address
such
an
underreported
public
safety
issue.
F
B
Oh
no,
we
thank
you
councilmember.
I
believe
we
have
staff
on
for
item
number,
seven.
F
Thank
you
so
much
chair
guitar.
I
just
had
a
clarifying
question.
If
staff
could
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
the
program,
of
course,
I
went
on
the
website,
but
noticed
that
there
hasn't
been
much
information
updated
on
it
about
the
program
since
2017.,
so
would
love
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
like
the
current
leadership,
the
programming
that's
being
offered.
You
know
what
what's
currently
the
funding
streams
and
and
services
that
they
provide,
especially
you
know
before
we
designate
them
as
an
eligible
provider.
B
J
Yeah,
chair
vito,
this
is
council
member,
juan
st
borlaug.
This
is
josh
shaffer
from
the
health
department.
Just
so
I'm
looking
at
the
correct
number
on
the
agenda.
This
would
be
the
master
contract
with
one
family.
One
community
correct.
F
J
Okay,
so
I
don't
know
if
I
can
specifically
address
anything,
that's
programmatic,
simply
because
the
master
contract
as
we
establish
it,
is
just
an
administrative
tool
that
tells
us
that
an
organization
meets
the
administrative
and
eligibility
criteria
can
meet
the
city's
insurance
standards
and
compliance
with
procurement
policies
and
then
allows
us
to
go
forward
with
contracting
with
that
organization
at
such
times
as
we
would
have
funds
available
for
a
specific
program.
J
So
this
master
contract
itself
does
not
guarantee
any
funds
to
the
organization.
It
simply
allows
us
to
contract
with
them
when
funds
would
become
available
up
to
that
listed,
not
to
exceed
amount
of
one
million
dollars
through
2025.
J
Yeah
so
every
five
years
we
develop
an
eligible
providers
list
and
we
use
that
list
to
contract
with
organizations
generally
those
those
organizations
that
apply
to
this
list
are
ones.
We've
worked
with
in
the
past
have
a
long
history
with,
but
we
will
get
some
new
organizations
on
that
list
and,
like
I
said,
the
master
contract
itself
is
just
the
administrative
mechanism
for
contracting
with
them.
During
that
period
of
eligibility.
B
E
K
B
Eyes
that
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved
now
onto
our
discussion
agenda
item
11
is
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
on
the
340b
drug
pricing
program
from
representatives
of
illini
health
and
abbott
northwestern
hospital
and
we're
going
to
have
a
presentation.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
K
All
right
good
afternoon,
thank
you,
committee,
chair
and
council
members.
K
All
right
so
I'd
like
to
like
to
kick
off
by
providing
a
brief
overview
of
abbott
northwestern
hospital,
which
is
located
at
800,
east
28th
street
in
minneapolis
and
I'll
follow
up
with
a
quick
overview
of
the
340b
drug
pricing
program
and
how
the
memorandum
of
understanding
plays
an
important
role
in
maintaining
eligibility
for
the
program.
K
So
annually
abbott
northwestern
serves
a
wide
range
of
patients
and
has
a
wide
range
of
services
offered
in
the
community,
several
of
which
are
listed
here.
So,
as
you
can
see,
annually
we
serve
over
200
thousand
patients
and
their
families
and
includes
a
payer
mix,
which
is
forty,
four
percent
public
and
fifty
six
percent
private.
K
A
few
of
the
of
the
main
services
are
listed
on
your
on
your
screen.
There
you
can
see
offering
cardiovascular,
med
surge,
mental
health,
addiction,
services,
mother,
baby
oncology,
orthopedist
trauma,
emergency
care,
women's
health
and
those
are
just
to
name
a
few.
So
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
different
services
being
provided
out
of
our
abbott
northwestern
campus
next
slide.
Please.
K
So
the
340b
drug
pricing
program
is
a
federal
government
program
administered
by
the
health
resources
and
services
administration,
also
known
as
hersa.
It
is
important
to
point
out
here
that
this
is
a
federal
program
and
there
is
no
direct
financial
relationship
with
the
city
of
minneapolis.
K
The
program
entitles
certain
entities
to
access
discounted
prices
for
outpatient
medications
and
avid
northwestern
qualifies
due
to
caring
for
a
high
number
of
low-income
patients.
The
savings
from
the
program
allow
abbott
northwestern
to
provide
expanded
services,
many
of
which
were
listed
on
the
on
the
previous
slide.
K
Hersa
does
require
as
part
of
eligibility,
a
memorandum
of
understanding
between
the
hospital
and
the
local
government.
The
memorandum
of
understanding
is
abbott
northwestern's
commitment
to
continue
providing
free
and
reduced
cost
health
care
services
to
the
indigent,
uninsured
and
underinsured
residents
of
minneapolis
and
the
surrounding
communities
next
slide.
Please.
K
K
K
That
number
was
very
significant:
13.3
million
there,
a
lot
of
applications
for
free
or
reduced
cost
services,
so
in
2020
you
can
see
it
was
over
20
000
applications
received
at
our
abbott
northwestern
campus,
and
then
we
also
do
offer
a
free
drug
program
and
in
2020
the
total
amount
for
the
drug
program
was
a
little
over
150
000..
D
So,
as
jeremy
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
abbott's
community
engagement
when
we
think
about
our
commitment
to
the
neighborhood
and
all
of
minneapolis,
we
really
think
about
how
we're
caring
for
community,
both
inside
our
facilities
and
outside
the
facility
in
the
community
itself,
in
terms
of
how
we
are
caring
for
the
community
inside
our
facilities.
We
are
part
of
the
next
step
program,
which
is
one
of
the
minneapolis
office
of
violence,
preventions
programs.
D
We
joined
this
program
last
year
and
have
really
been
working
to
build
it
up.
In
the
last
year,
we've
seen
about
42
patients
have
already
come
through
our
emergency
department
and
have
been
enrolled
in
this
program,
and
we
are
starting
to
see
some
really
successful
steps
coming
out
of
this.
So
we
are
looking
forward
to
participating
in
this
going
forward
as
well.
D
We've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
like
your
own
health
department
has
focusing
on
covid19
response
and
one
of
the
components
we've
done
is
community
vaccine
clinics.
We've
held
a
number
of
clinics
inside
our
office
space.
Our
corporate
office
headquarters
are
inside
the
midtown
exchange
building
located
at
the
corner
of
lake
street
in
chicago
in
south
minneapolis.
D
Our
employees
aren't
in
that
facility
right
now,
so
we
really
turn
that
into
a
clinic
to
an
extent,
and
so
we
vaccinated
more
than
4
000
south
minneapolis
residents
in
that
facility,
and
we
are
currently
offering
weekly
covet
vaccination
clinic
inside
that
facility
right
now,
in
partnership
with
a
couple
of
mdh
contracted
partners,
we're
really
starting
to
kind
of
work
on.
How
do
we
get
the
folks
who
are
not
accessing
vaccination?
Yet
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
success
right
now?
We've,
I
think
in
the
last
month
we've
done
about
400
vaccines.
D
One
of
the
things
I
heard
from
community
partners
right
after
the
pandemic
hit
and
schools
kind
of
shut
down
was
that
there
were
a
lot
of
students
in
the
minneapolis
public
schools
specifically
who
did
not
have
access
to
their
teachers
because
they
didn't
have
connectivity
at
home.
Home
was
not
a
quiet
place
to
go
to
school,
and
so
we
ended
up
working
with
a
couple
of
community
partners
and
opened
up
our
office
space
in
this
picture.
D
D
We
work
quite
closely
with
them
really
looking
at
kind
of
chronic
health
management,
and
so
we've
had
this
partnership
for
almost
15
years.
At
this
point-
and
we
are
a
strong
supporter
of
that
program-
we
are
also
run
a
program
called
the
early
youth
eye
care
program.
The
eye
program
runs
out
of
our
philips
eye
institute.
D
We
screen
all
of
the
students
in
the
minneapolis
public
schools
for
vision
issues.
They
get
screened
every
other
year.
So
last
year
we
did
about
16
000
vision
screenings.
Any
students
who
screened
positive
for
needing
an
intervention
for
a
vision,
related
issue
is
either
referred
to
a
follow-up
care
through
their
own
insurance
and
if
they
don't
have
insurance,
we
bring
our
kirby
pocket
imobile
out
and
we'll
provide
them
any
needed
vision
services
on-site
at
their
school.
D
If
they
need
surgical
intervention,
we
provide
that
in
our
facilities
free
of
charge,
we
also
work
have
a
program
called
free
bikes
for
kids,
where
we
collect
bikes
from
the
public
every
year
and
we've
given
about
out
about
500
bikes
to
kids
every
spring
and
summer.
We
are
gearing
up
to
do
that
again
this
summer.
D
So
last
summer
we
worked
quite
closely
with
the
minneapolis
park
board
and
distributed
bikes
through
the
park
board
this
year,
we're
going
to
work
quite
closely
with
the
park
board
again
and
focus
on
the
greenway
and
really
get
bikes
into
the
kids
hands
of
kids
who
live
near
the
greenway
in
our
by
our
campus
and
then
we've
been
a
proud
supporter
and
long
time
partner
of
the
midtown
global
market.
We
see
their
success
closely
tied
to
our
success,
and
so
we
are
continue.
D
We
are
proud
to
continue
to
support
them
next
slide,
please,
and
so
more
than
22
million
dollars
has
in
cash.
It's
actually
been
donated
to
minneapolis-based
organizations,
schools
and
partners.
Since
2009,
it's
a
comes
in
at
about
2.5
million
a
year
is
how
much
money
we
give
out
to
organizations
to
allow
them
to
do
the
work
that
they
do
in
community,
which
we
know
supports
the
health
of
all
of
us
next
slide.
D
Please,
and
the
other
way
we
really
are
working
at
supporting
the
community
is
really
the
investment
in
our
space
and
how
that
is
going
to
help
revitalize
the
phillips
neighborhood
abbott
northwestern
is
in
the
process
of
going
through
a
tremendous
revitalization
of
the
campus.
We
have
been
in
this
neighborhood
for
more
than
140
years.
Some
of
our
facilities
are
quite
old
and
so
we're
in
the
process
of
upgrading
our
facilities.
D
The
three
buildings
that
you
see
on
the
screen,
the
new
central
utility
plant
and
the
transportation
hub
are
both
projects
that
are
in
the
works
already,
and
the
new
surgical
and
critical
care
pavilion
is
something
that
will
be
coming
in
the
next
few
months.
You
as
council
members
will
start
to
see
these
projects
come
before
you
for
approval,
and
so
just
kind
of
this
is
part
of
our
commitment
to
the
neighborhood.
D
We've
had
many
discussions
with
community
about
these
projects
and,
as
we
have
these
conversations,
we
just
reiterate
our
commitment
to
the
phillips
neighborhood,
how
we
are
investing
in
our
infrastructure
and
we
will
continue
to
serve
this
community.
We
also
talked
about
how
we
will
remain
within
our
current
geographic
footprint.
This
is
something
that
is
very
important
to
the
neighbors
who
live
around
us
and
we
have
maintained
our
commitment
to
them
that
we
will
not
buy
up
any
additional
property
in
any
facility
infrastructure.
Revitalization,
we
need
to
do.
D
We
will
do
within
our
own
footprint
already.
We
are
also
quite
proactive
in
sharing
information
and
we're
trying
to
encourage
two-way
communication
with
our
neighbors
so
that
they
always
feel
like
they
have
the
ability
to
reach
out
to
us
and
hear
that
their
their
concerns
are
heard
and
we're
committed
to
incorporating
it
and
advancing
environmental
sustainability.
The
transportation
hub
the
picture
in
the
middle
is
going
to
have
a
solar
roof
on
it.
It
is
going
to
have
20
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
inside
of
it.
D
It's
we're
really
working
at
our
community
on
our
campus
to
how
are
we
improving
the
finance
or
the
sustainability
and
the
carbon
footprint
of
the
entire
campus?
We
also
are
committed
to
creating
work
opportunities
for
our
local
community.
I
know
this
is
an
extremely
important
priority
for
the
neighbors
we
have
heard
this
over
and
over.
D
So
we're
also
talking
about
prioritizing
contracting
with
women
and
minority-owned
business
operations,
local
sourcing,
workforce
development
programs-
all
of
these
are
very
important
and
are
kind
of
a
foundation
of
our
revitalization
programs
and
finally,
we
actively
work
to
help
revitalize
the
lake
street
corridor
in
the
surrounding
area.
Part
of
that
22
million
dollars
that
I
mentioned
in
the
previous
slide.
Part
of
that
is
really
focused
on.
How
do
we
support
the
community
to
ensure
that
all
of
us
are
healthy,
and
I
think
this
is
my
final
slide.
So
I
think
next
slide
is
questions.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
had
a
question
on
your
contracting
with
women.
In
my
in
my
non-businesses.
Do
you
have
a
formal
process
of
rfp
that
you're
using?
Are
there
any
cert
database
or
other
databases
you're
using
to
source
contractors,
or
are
you
going
out
into
the
community
and
engaging
folks
to
find
them.
D
So
I
will
tell
you
that
this
process
for
us
is
brand
new
to
these
projects
that
we
are
starting.
So
we
are
still
very
much
building
this
program.
Our
two
current
projects
that
are
already
in
the
works
we're
the
first
projects
to
ever.
Have
women
minority
owned
business
requirements
as
a
part
of
the
contractual
that
we
have
with
our
general
contractors,
and
so
it
is
very
much
still
being
built.
D
I
know
that
the
contractors
that
we
are
working
with
are
very
much
part
of
the
community
and
are
doing
local
sourcing
and
also
working
on
some
of
those
other
components
that
you
mentioned.
So
if
I
would
be
happy
to
follow
up
with
you
afterwards,
if
you
have
ideas
like
I
said,
this
is
still
something
we're
very
much
building
and
we
would
love
to
have
suggestions
if
you
have.
E
B
B
On
to
the
next
item,
item
12
is
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
from
the
civil
rights
department,
labor
standards
division.
We
have
brian
walsh
here
to
kick
off
this
item.
Thank
you,
brian.
L
L
So
I'm
here
to
present
an
annual
report
of
labor
standards
enforcement,
our
the
efforts
of
our
division
and
the
outcomes
I'm
going
to
really
quickly
kind
of
gloss
over
the
background,
but
just
to
remind
you
why
we
exist
and
where
we
come
from
and
what
is
the
the
information
that
I'm
going
to
present
today
and
then
I'll
dig
in
a
little
bit
deeper
on
what
exactly
it
is
that
we
do
both
in
outreach
and
the
the
really
the
meat
of
our
of
our
work
in
our
enforcement
next
slide.
L
So
to
remind
you,
what
are
the
city's
labor
standards?
They
are
the
sick
and
safe
time,
ordinance
the
minimum
wage,
ordinance,
the
wage
theft,
ordinance,
freelance
worker
protections
and
the
right
to
recall
ordinances.
These
are
all
relatively
new
effective,
really
the
first
one
was
sick
and
safe
time
in
2017
and
then
about
one
year
after
that,
every
other
every
consecutive
year
since
then,
we've
added
other
labor
protections.
L
The
enforcement
of
each
one
of
those
ordinances
is
a
complaint
based
mechanism
inside
the
civil
rights
department
and
that's
what
my
team
works
on.
This
annual
report
is
required
by
ordinance.
That's
why
I'm
here
today
and
I
will
in
a
moment,
get
into
the
sorts
of
complaints
that
we
receive
and
and
what
we
do
with
those
next
slide
before
I
get
to
the
complaints
and
the
enforcement.
Another
huge
part
of
our
work
is
often
kind
of
overlooked.
L
Is
the
outreach
and
engagement
that
we
do
and
actually
that's
that's
the
next
slide,
this
one
I'll
just
mention
really
quickly,
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
the
substance,
because
that's
not
really
what
this
presentation
is
about,
but
just
to
remind
folks
that
large
business
minimum
wage
is
going
to
hit
15
this
july,
1st
1350
for
small
businesses,
our
sick
and
safe
time
ordinance
requires
a
minimum
amount
of
paid
sick
leave
for
provided
by
employers
to
employees
all
across
the
city
and
then
wage
theft.
L
Return
really
refers
to
any
sort
of
under
underpayment
of
employees
again
based
on
the
physical
location
of
the
employee,
while
the
employee
is
performing
work
anywhere
across
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Next
slide,
please,
okay,
this
is
the
outreach
and
engagement.
It
really
is
a
big
part
of
what
we
do.
L
The
first
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
are
all
of
all
of
the
information
tools:
rules,
fillable
templates,
checklists
sample
policies,
all
of
that
information
that
we
put
up
on
our
website
and
we
have
different
pages
for
second
save
time,
minimum
wage,
wage
theft
etc.
L
L
Compared
to
previous
years,
we
focused
a
lot
more
on
sort
of
canvassing
and
and
proactive
sort
of
site
visits
to
a
lot
of
workplaces,
as
opposed
to
previous
years,
where
it
were
more,
I
would
say,
presentations
that
were
sort
of
broad
communication
and
in
2021
we
focused
a
little
bit
more
on
sort
of
deeper
levels
of
engagement,
maybe
not,
as
the
total
number
of
people
reached,
is
probably
comparable,
but
probably
a
deeper
level
of
engagement
in
2021.
L
You
can
see
that
those
the
the
overall
number
of
events
spiked
a
bit
next
slide.
L
Please
then,
besides
our
proactive
engagement,
actually
at
workplaces
and
in
community,
we
also
receive
a
lot
of,
and
when
we
do,
that,
we
try
to
again
drive
questions
and
employees
and
employers
to
our
website
to
find
more
information
and
get
really
be
able
to
dig
into
the
details
and
answer
their
questions
there
with
all
the
materials
that
we
provide
on
the
website,
then,
if
employees
or
employers
are
not
able
to
find
their
answer
there
or
they
have
follow-up,
questions
want
to
clarify
or
oftentimes
want
to
show
us
what
their
policies
are
and
ask
us,
or
in
get
feedback
and
assurance
that
they
are
in
fact,
in
compliance,
many
times,
employers
and
employees
reach
out
to
us
and
that's
what
this
slide
captures.
L
If
you
look
across
the
top
minimum
wage,
you
can
save
time
wage
that
the
different
themes
you'll
see
that
sick
and
safe
time
sticks
out,
as
probably
the
the
most
complicated
of
of
the
ordinances
that
we
enforce
and
that's
where
we
do
receive
most
or
the
bulk
of
of
our
questions
and
over
the
years
we've
received
since
2017
you
can
see
year
over
year.
L
There
are
fewer,
thankfully,
questions
about
sick
and
safe
time
from
employers,
which
I
take
as
a
good
sign
that
there
are
fewer
questions
coming
in,
although
still
many
but
fewer
and
and
hopefully
less
more
clarity
around
exactly
what
is
required
next
slide.
L
The
this
just
kept.
This
shows
the
web
traffic
users
page
views
that
we
have
on
all
of
our
websites.
It's
just
sort
of
a
shorthand
way
that
I
try
to
quantify.
What
is
the?
What
is
the
result
of
all
of
the
effort
that
we
put
on
outreach
and
education
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
tens
of
thousands
of
views,
page
views
in
the
range
of
70,
000
and
2021
and
in
the
range
of
50
000
users.
So
so
certainly
information
is
is
getting
out
there
next
slide.
L
Please
then
changing
themes,
changing
sort
of
roles
of
our
division
from
that
outreach
and
engagement.
Now,
looking
specifically
at
enforcement
and
again
as
complaint
based,
which
means
any
employee
or
really
anyone
across
the
city
can
file
a
complaint
with
our
division,
either
online
by
calling
311
or
by
walking
into
city
hall
and
filing
with
us
in
person.
This
here
on,
this
slide
captures
the
numbers
the
number
of
complaints
filed.
L
You
can
see
that
it
rose
a
bit
in
2021.
I
think
that
that
is
a
direct
reflection
of
the
additional
investigator
that
we
added
halfway
through
2021.
We
now
have
a
total
of
three
investigators,
a
plus
myself
and
one
admin
next
slide.
L
Please
this
slide
captures
the
types
of
complaints
that
we
receive
and
what
I
would
point
out
here
on
this
slide
is
the
left
sort
of
third
of
those
bars
all
illustrate
or
or
describe
different
types
of
sick
and
safe
time
issues
or
problems
and
similar
to
a
few
slides
ago,
where
I
was
pointing
out
that
we
received
a
lot
of
questions
and
clarification
around
the
sick
and
safe
time.
The
paid
sick
leave
ordinance
here
you
can
see
that
the
most
common
complaint
that
we
receive
is
also
related
to
the
sick
and
safe
time.
L
This
slide
captures
the
all
of
the
complaints
that
we
receive
and
shows
you
from
which
industries
we
are
receiving
them
and
again.
These
are
mostly
well
almost
all
complaints
filed
by
employees,
alleging
violations
of
of
their
rights
or
their
co-workers
rights.
This.
What
I
would
point
out
on
this
slide
2021
is
in
the
lower
left.
L
Restaurant
and
food
service
is
where
we
have
spent
really
an
outsized
portion
of
our
time.
That
is
the
blue
part
of
the
pie.
However,
as
you
move
around
to
2020
and
2021,
the
blue,
the
blue
slice
of
the
pie,
there
gets
quite
a
bit
smaller
and
that
just,
I
think,
shows
some
improvement
across
the
restaurant
and
food
service
industry,
and
it
also
reflects
the
the
realities
of
the
pandemic
when
many
restaurants
work
or
closed
next
slide,
please
this.
L
This
shows
the
outcomes
of
investigations
and
2021
is
on
the
bottom.
What
I
look
for
on
this
slide
are
the
top
two
of
the
four
bars
the
purple
and
the
orange
the
the
top
one,
and
what
I
look
for
is
that
the
purple
that
there
are
more
settlements
than
there
are
claims
that
are
unsubstantiated.
L
What
I?
What
I
think
that
that
reflects
is
a
relatively
good
investment
of
our
scarce
enforcement
resources,
showing
that
that
we
were
abe
that
where
we
chose
to
investigate,
we
did
more
often
than
not
find
violations
and
we're
able
to
remedy
them
next
slide,
please.
L
This
is
sort
of
the
the
takeaway
of
all
of
the
settlements
that
we
entered
into
with
employers
across
workplaces
for
the
entire
year.
The
left
half
of
the
slide
are
the
dollars
collected,
the
back
wages
owed
that
we
were
able
to
collect
for
workers
and
then
the
right
side
of
the
slider.
L
The
total
number
of
workers
that
would
not
have
received
either
sick
and
save
time
which
been
paid
all
that
they
were
owed
or
or
received
the
minimum
wage,
but
for
an
investigation
performed
out
of
our
office,
and
you
can
see
during
the
pandemic
in
2020
things
really
dollars
collected
workers
affected
really
dropped
and
that's
partly
a
reflection
just
in
our
sort
of
approach
to
enforcement
during
the
pandemic,
but
then
in
2021
it
starts
to
tick
back
up
and
final
point
on
this
is
in
2021
it's
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
collected
and
that's
all
paid
directly
to
workers
over
1
000
workers
received
that
money
back
wages
owed
and
penalties
next
slide.
L
L
L
That
really
help
point
us
towards
and
act
as
liaisons
between
government
us
and
the
most
vulnerable
workers
that
are
mo
more
likely
to
suffer
from
violations
and
and
more
likely
to
suffer
a
more
egregious
violations,
so
identifying
not
just
where
we
receive
the
most
complaints
from,
but
where
violations
and
the
most
egregious
violations
are
actually
occurring
is
a
really
really
important
concept
really
for
any
enforcement
agency.
That
has
to
rely
on
complaints
filed
and
we
look
to
our
worker
centers
to
help
help
us
identify
again
where
violations
are
are
occurring.
L
A
lot
of
the
focus
this
year
is
just
raising
awareness
of
the
relatively
new
wage
theft,
ordinance
that
expands
our
enforcement
authority
beyond
minimum
wage
and
paid
sick
leave
and
then
finally,
always
work
very
closely
with
our
partners
on
the
workplace
advisory
committee,
a
cross-section
of
stakeholders
that
includes
folks,
like
representatives
from
target
main
street
alliance,
eureka
recycling.
Several
worker
centers
seiu,
afl,
cio,
etc,
so
I'll
pause
there
take
a
deep
breath.
L
That's
all
of
the
information
that
I
have
on
slides,
but
I
am
certainly
willing
to
answer
any
questions
if
anybody
has
any
thank
you.
E
What
do
you
think
is
the
biggest
limiting
factor
in
terms
of
being
able
to
clear-
or
I
guess
maybe
a
starting
question
is:
do
you
have
a
challenge
with
investigations
and
if
so,
what
would
be
the
limiting
factor
to
clearing
whatever
backlog
of
investigations
you
have?
Is
it
a
lack
of
investigators
or
lack
of
awareness
that
employees
and
workers
can
actually
file
a
complaint.
L
Yeah
great
question:
thank
you,
councilmember
payne.
We
we
don't
have
a
big
backlog.
We
are
really
careful
to
sort
of
invest
whatever
we
time,
whatever
maximize
whatever
resources
we
have
just
to
spend
every
you
know
every
staff
hour
that
we
have
and
allocate
them
across
all
of
the
complaints
that
we
receive,
while
also
reserving
time
to
work
closely
closely
with
our
worker
centers
proactively.
L
It
is
true,
and
I
and
I
think
this
is
sort
of
what
your
question
is
getting
at-
that
there
are
many
more
instances
of
wage
theft
and
sub-minimum
wage
and
paid
sick
leave
that
are
occurring
across
our
economy
that
we're
not
receiving
complaints
about,
in
other
words,
there's
a
lot
of
unresolved
and
and
and
uncollected
back
wages
owed
to
workers
and
and
so
what
you
know,
what
are
the
barriers
for
us
to
do
more
and
to
get
at
more
of
that
and
sort
of
achieve
higher
levels
of
compliance
across
the
city.
L
You
know,
I
think
the
you
know
the
number
one
thing
is
just
the
capacity
of
the
division.
I
mean
certainly
raising
more
and
better
and
deeper
awareness
is,
is
a
really
big,
a
big
part
of
it,
and
then
you
know
and
then
being
being
able
to
to
just
conduct
more
investigations
and
more
more
deeply
and
thoroughly
conduct
those
those
investigations.
So
so
I
guess
to
answer
your
question.
The
short
answer
is
that
capacity
is
really
the
number
one.
The
number
one
I
suppose
barrier
to
to
doing
even
more.
F
Thank
you,
chair
vita,
and
thank
you
director
wash.
I
was
really
excited
for
this
presentation.
As
many
folks
might
be
aware,
I
got
to
work
very
closely
along
with
my
fellow
staffers
celeste
robinson,
on
getting
the
15
minimum
wage
pass,
and
that
was
a
long
fight.
So
I'm
glad
we
get
to
sit
here
and
celebrate
the
fact.
You
know
that
it's
going
to
be
going
to
full
15,
at
least
for
large
businesses
this
summer
and
recognizing
we
still
got
way
far
behind
on
the
wages.
F
That's
actually
needed
for
ordinary
people
right
now,
but
really
grateful
for
this
presentation
also,
especially
around
wage
theft.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
a
press
conference
yesterday
with
service
workers
at
blaze,
pizza
that
worked
with
you
all
and
basically
getting
an
audit
of
their
wages
and
discovered
that
they
were
old.
F
You
know
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
back
pay
along
with
you
know,
earn
sick
and
safe
time
hours
as
well
and
to
me,
when
you
talk
about
this,
this
dynamic
of
capacity
just
recognizing
the
appreciation
for
some
of
the
workers
rights
centers
that
you
talked
about,
like
rock
minnesota,
played
a
pivotal
role
in
stepping
up
as
a
co-enforcement
with
our
civil
rights
support
department
to
provide
those
supports
for
our
workers,
and
I
know
that
especially
around
the
university
area,
where
we're
talking
about
under
reporting,
knowing
that
lots
of
students
are
probably
also
in
a
similar
predicament
where
they're
stuck
in
in
in
employment.
F
You
know,
environments
where
they're
noticing
their
wages
are
not
acting
up
their
time.
That
they're
accruing
is
not
adding
up
and
also,
and
often
aren't
aware
of
the
resources
that's
available
for
them
and
even
in
the
case
of
blaze,
it's
a
friend
of
one
of
the
employees
just
raising
have
you
ever
heard
of
rock
minnesota.
You
know
and
saying
reach
out
to
them,
so
you
know
any
way
in
which
our
offices
can
be.
F
You
know
of
support
in
raising
the
profile
of
these
services
to
our
constituents,
especially
those
that
we
know
are,
are
very
vulnerable.
You
know
working
class,
especially
black
women
students
who
often
face
themselves
in
these
very
precarious,
like
employment
situations,
so
that
you
all
are
able
to
you
know
hopefully
grow
your
capacity
with
the
support
of
council
to
really
make
sure
people
are
getting
the
full.
You
know
dignified
wages
that
they
earn
and
deserve.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
work.
F
I
know
enforcement's
such
an
important
part
of
many
of
these
workers
rights
policies
that
we're
moving
forward
at
the
city
and,
of
course,
any
way
in
which
we
can
support
the
the
continuous
enforcement
of
this,
so
that
we
can
really
be
a
worker,
friendly
city.
I
think
you
know
the
best.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation,
but
I
also
had
a
quick
clarifying
question
on
the
the
slide
where
you
you
know,
talked
about.
F
Well,
you
did
a
breakdown
of
the
you
know:
2021
2022,
some
of
the
the
industries
and
in
2020
and
2021.
Specifically,
we
saw
the
other
parts
grow
if
you
can
share
a
little
bit
about
like
what
what
is
actually
in
capture
when
you
speak
of
other
yeah.
L
Sure,
yeah
council
member,
wants
the
world
about.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
comments
and
your
question
in
2021
and
it
it's.
We
divide
up
all
the
industries
by
nate's
codes
and
which
is
just
to
say
that
there's
a
lot
of
them,
and
so
if
I
tried
to
slice
it
into
a
million
different
slices,
the
graph
would
be
hard
to
read,
but
the
biggest
pieces
of
other
in
2021
were
actually
education
jumped
up
and
manufacturing
retail.
Most
definitely,
and
probably
those
three
were
the
biggest
pieces
of
others.
L
Certainly
retail
and
I
know
for
sure
education
during
2021,
which
overall,
it
is
a
huge
part
of
the
economy.
So
it's
it's
probably
not
a
surprise
that
there
are
complaints
coming
from
that
sector.
L
Good
question
yeah
council
member
wesley:
what
about
in
2021?
It
was
mostly,
if
I'm
not
mistaking
like
k-12,
and
there
were
several.
There
were
several
investigations
involving
charter
schools,
and
I
don't
know
if
that
was
perhaps
some
employee,
organizing
that
that
raised
awareness
in
that
particular
kind
of
sub
sector,
but
yeah
we,
we
definitely
did
some
work
there
in
2021.
F
That
is
really
good
to
know,
especially
as
a
ward
that
has
a
high
concentration
of
charter
schools,
yeah,
very
insightful
yeah.
Thank
you
for
providing
some
clarity
on
that
question.
In
all
the
work
you
do.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you,
mr
walsh.
For
all
of
this.
This
is
a
continued
effort
that
has
lots
of
new
interest
from
all
of
our
new
council
members,
and
you
know
from
the
conversations
and
then
implementation
of
wage
theft
efforts,
I'm
curious
about
education
and
targeted
education,
and
just
you
know
this
information
in
front
of
us
about
where
the
complaints
came
from
or
the
initiation
of
investigations
came
from.
I'm
curious.
M
Where
might
you
want
to
target
that
type
of
education?
I
just
think
you
have
some
special
insight
with
having
worked
on
this
for
the
past
few
years.
L
L
The
number
one
thing
on
my
wish
list
would
be
more
and
better
and
deeper
capacity
buildings,
specifically
among
smaller
businesses.
The
smaller
businesses,
almost
by
definition,
are
not
going
to
have
a
hr
department,
a
payroll
department.
You
know
a
legal
department
that
sort
of
capacity
and
so
there's
just
sort
of
a
a
natural.
L
I
guess
a
higher
learning
curve
and
just
a
lower
capacity,
organizational
capacity
amongst
smaller
businesses
that
that
I
think
we
really
really
strive
to
be
sensitive
to,
and
it
also
means
that
there
are
more
of
of
them,
because
there
there
are
many,
many
smaller
employers
that
might
only
have
a
few
employees,
but
we
do
the
best
we
can
to
to
get
the
word
out
and
then
help
build
capacity.
L
And
that's
really
the
the
trick
that
I'm
that
I
spend
a
lot
of
time,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
more
and
better
and
deeper,
is
not
only
just
raising
awareness
of
the
existence
of
the
ordinances
but
really
equipping
small
businesses
with
the
with
the
with
the
ability
and
sort
of
the
capacity
to
to
do
it,
and
that's
kind
of
a
lot
of
the
impetus
behind
all
the
the
different
tools
that
we
put
on
our
website
to
try
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible
and
as
sort
of
plug
and
play
as
possible.
L
But
in
the
end
payroll
can
be
kind
of
complicated,
and
so
it
it
does.
Take
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
to
sit
down
with
a
small
business
owner
and
sort
of
walk
them
through
everything
step
by
step.
M
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
have
been
hearing
a
lot
from
small
business
owners
about
their
interest
and
from
a
couple
asking
if
you
know,
based
on
ways
that
their
business
has
been
hit
with
supply,
chain
issues
and
supply
problems
and
inflation
that
they
are
struggling.
They
are
asking
us
to
hold
the
wage
increase
coming
up
going
up
now.
M
I'd
say
that
I
haven't
heard
that
from
many
small
businesses,
but
that
it
tells
me
that
they're
getting
the
message
they
know.
What's
they
do.
They
are
getting
educated
on
what
it
is
we're
asking
them
to
do.
So.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
That
line
of
questions
just
made
me
think
about
our
business
technical
assistance
program,
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
know
if
any
of
those
btap
providers
are
providing
any
of
this
additional
education
or
helping
some
of
those
smaller
businesses
navigate
some
of
these
new
regulations
around
worker
protections.
L
Council
member
payne,
thank
you.
I
do
believe
that
the
last
year
or
two
there
has
been
a
real
effort.
I
believe
davis
senseman
is
still
a
b-tap
provider.
I
hope
that's
true,
but
they
did
add
some
sort
of
legal
assistance.
L
There
might
even
be
a
a
special
name
for
the
sort
of
sub
program
of
btab,
but
there
is,
there
is
technical
assistance.
I
know
for
sure
that
is
available
through
at
least
one
or
two
of
the
btap
providers,
specifically
around
legal
assistance
and
compliance.
So
thank
you
for
that
question.
I
think
that's
a
really
good
point.
