President
palmisano
present,
that's
ten
members
present.
A
A
I
think
I
didn't
want
her
getting
all
offended
next
to
me.
I
wanted
to
note
that
council
member
osman
regrets
missing
today's
meeting.
He
needed
to
leave
just
a
few
minutes
ago
to
attend
to
a
very
urgent
situation
in
his
ward.
Our
thoughts
are
with
him,
so
please
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
three
items
on
the
published
agenda
today.
A
In
addition
to
our
reports
to
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle,
we
will
begin
with
our
public
hearing,
which
is
the
consideration
of
the
mayor's
nomination
of
kristin
anderson
to
the
appointed
position
of
city
attorney
for
a
term
ending
january
of
2026
and
so
to
introduce
this
item.
We've
been
joined
by
mayor
frye
welcome
and
I'm
happy
to
invite
him
to
speak
on
behalf
of
his
nomination.
Welcome
mayor.
F
Madam
vice
president,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
madam
president,
council
members
honored
to
be
here
today
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
appointment
to
a
four-year
term
for
city
attorney
and
kristin
anderson.
This
is
one
that
I'm
extraordinarily
proud
of.
We
got
a
top-notch
individual
at
a
time
when
we
most
certainly
need
the
help.
Her
decades
of
experience,
specifically
in
government
law,
has
enabled
her
to
build
an
incredible
reputation
and
is
known
around
the
state
as
an
incredible
legal
mind.
F
Employment
law
is
perhaps
the
one
that
gets
the
most
attention
and
the
one
that
has
the
most
work
of
of
any
other.
So
this
this
work
is
is
one
where
she
essentially
functions
as
a
gender
general
counsel
for
the
entire
state
enterprise,
which
is
a
very,
very
big
job
and
then
for
nearly
14
years.
Prior
to
her
present
job.
F
F
The
last
several
years
have
shown
that
the
city
will
need
a
fighter
in
its
corner
and
the
skill
legal
leadership
in
this
new
cabinet
that
we
are
creating
and
miss
anderson
comes
equipped
to
lead
minneapolis
forward
in
all
capacities.
I'm
so
grateful
that
miss
anderson
has
taken
up
this
extraordinary
challenge
to
serve
as
our
next
city
attorney.
This
is
a
job
that
ain't
easy,
but
she
is
most
definitely
up
for
the
task.
F
A
Thank
you,
mayor
frye.
At
this
time,
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
for
the
appointment
of
city
attorney,
after
which
I'll
ask
ms
anderson.
If
she
wants
to
speak
and
invite
council
members,
my
colleagues
to
speak
and
entertain
any
motions
to
move
this
forward,
I
understand
we
have
seven
people
signed
up
at
this
point
in
time.
If
there's
anyone
here
who
has
not
signed
up
but
wishes
to,
you
are
welcome
to
see
the
clerk
at
the
deus
to
sign
up.
G
G
G
Kristin
is
clearly
an
excellent
attorney
and
public
servant,
but
she's
also
a
great
leader
of
people
and
a
terrific
colleague.
She
approaches
her
work
with
energy
and
enthusiasm
for
the
positive
role
that
government
can
play.
She
leads
by
example,
and
works
harder
than
anyone
else.
She
conducts
herself
with
integrity
and
is
a
role
model
for
others.
She
is
a
positive
and
supportive
colleague
who
earned
the
confidence
and
respect
of
leaders
across
state
government
during
her
tenure.
A
Thank
you
next
signed
in
here
we
have
dory
leland,
but
it
also
seems
that
maybe
you
were
here
to
speak,
not
on
the
appointment
of
city
attorney,
but
oh
yeah,
another
matter.
This
is
also
related
to
the
appointment
of
city.
Okay,
thank
you.
Welcome,
dory
and
following
dory
we
will
have
tim
o'malley.
H
H
Accountability
isn't
just
something
that
kristen
talks
about
it's
who
she
is
and
it's
what
she
does.
I
could
give
you
a
million
examples
of
this,
but
I'll
focus
on
just
one.
A
few
years
ago
we
had
a
a
situation
where
an
employee
was
terminated
for
sexual
harassment
and
an
arbitrator
put
the
individual
back
to
work.
Part
of
the
reason
why
they
went
back
to
work
is
because
they
found
some
issues
with
how
we
had
done
the
internal
investigation.
H
Looked
internally
and
said
you
know,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
work
to
improve
the
quality
of
our
internal
investigations
and
over
the
past
two
years,
she's
made
it
her
mission,
one
of
many
to
improve
how
we
do
investigations
there's
now
a
14
module
course
that
covers
the
wide
array
of
how
to
do
internal
investigations
in
a
way
that
honors
the
rights
of
everybody
who's
involved
in
the
process,
but
also
gives
dignity
and
respect
to
anybody
who
is
there.
H
H
There
are
so
many
examples
that
I
could
give
you
that
demonstrate
kristen's
dedication
to
transparency
and
accountability,
and
so
for
entirely
self-serving
reasons.
I
wish
I
could
tell
you
that
I
oppose
this
nomination,
because
I'm
really
going
to
miss
working
with
her.
Her
influence
is
everywhere
and
in
everything
that
and
everything
that
we
do
she's
truly
one
of
the
most
trusted,
respected
and
beloved
members
of
state
government,
and
I
urge
you
to
vote
in
favor
of
her
nomination.
I
I
I've
known
her
for
over
20
years,
and
I've
worked
professionally
her
in
a
number
with
her
in
a
number
of
different
settings.
I'd
like
to
mention
three
of
those
settings.
Briefly.
As
a
result
of
my
experiences
in
working
with
her,
I
think
I've
been
able
to
develop
a
very
informed
opinion
on
her
qualifications
for
this
job.
I
My
career
has
primarily
been
in
law
and
law
enforcement.
I
served
at
the
city,
federal
and
state
level
as
a
law
enforcement
officer,
including
24
years
at
the
minnesota
bureau
of
criminal
apprehension.
I
started
there
as
an
agent
and
in
2010
resigned
as
superintendent
kristen
anderson
was
at
the
attorney
general's
office
during
those
years.
We
worked
very
closely
on
a
number
of
civil
matters.
Employment
law
matters
a
number
of
lawsuits
and
she
was
a
tremendous
assistance
to
us
throughout
that
early.
I
I
Those
two
experiences,
those
two
settings.
I
know
that
miss
anderson
is
smart,
strategic
and
practical
she's,
a
rock
solid
litigator.
She
knows
how
to
use
her
skills
judiciously
for
a
greater
good.
It's
one
thing
to
prevail
on
the
law.
It's
another
thing
to
solve
problems.
She
has
an
ability
to
to
not
only
use
the
law
as
it
should
be,
but
also
to
solve
those
problems
in
the
short
term
and
to
prepare
for
long
term
so
that
when,
when
they
don't,
when
those
kinds
of
things
come
up,
they
don't
recur
over
and
over.
I
I
was
hired
as
part
of
a
comprehensive
reorganization
at
the
catholic
church
to
address
the
horrendous
sexual
abuse
crisis
that
came
to
light
here.
A
few
years
back,
I
was
asked
to
look
at
both
short-term
and
long-term
solutions.
A
key
component
of
that
was
to
use
well-talented
skilled,
highly
qualified
lay
people
independent
of
the
church.
We
formed
a
voluntary
advisory
board.
Ms
anderson
said
that
she
was
served
on
that
board
and
did
for
the
last
six
seven
years
along
with
10
other
people.
A
Thank
you,
mr
o'malley.
I
have
to
cut
you
off
just
to
keep
everybody's
time
equal
here.
Next,
we'll
you'll
hear
from
howard
dotson
and
after
howard,
myron
france.
J
J
J
J
J
K
K
For
almost
six
years,
ms
anderson
and
I
worked
together
at
mmb
where
she
was
a
key
member
of
the
led,
the
leadership
team,
her
responsibilities
as
a
mayor
enumerated
general
counsel,
employment,
council
and
state
ethics
officer.
During
this
time
I
learned
the
value
of
miss
anderson's
leadership,
her
legal
talents,
knowledge
of
the
law,
counseling
skills,
sometimes
to
me
common
sense
and
her
devotion
and
dedication
to
public
service.
As
an
experienced
legal
advisor,
ms
anderson
understands
the
critical
and
sensitive
role
of
legal
counsel
in
the
public
sector.
K
Ms
anderson
advised
us
that
the
senate
vote
to
approve
the
voted
to
approve
the
agreements,
but
the
additional
language
was
not
legally
effective.
We
were
able
to
implement
those
contracts.
I'd
just
like
to
close
by
saying
that
I
recommend
miss
anderson
for
city
attorney
and
I
know
she's
spent
countless
hours
in
support
of
public
service
and
she'll
continue
to
do
so.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
L
L
Commissioner,
I
worked
closely
with
ms
anderson
speaking
from
my
personal
experience
as
a
close
colleague,
I'd
like
the
council
to
know
a
few
things
about
miss
anderson,
first
she's,
a
tremendous
public
servant,
she's
dedicated
her
career
and
has
brought
many
gifts
and
talents
to
bear
in
in
order
to
make
minnesota
a
better
place
and
I'm
confident
she'll
do
the
same
as
city
attorney
she's
worked
for
years
in
government.
She-
and
I
work
closely
on
a
few
key
policy
initiatives.
L
The
first
was
implementing
the
state's
first
ever
executive
order
on
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
that
former
commissioners
fran
spoke
about,
which
helped
to
pave
the
way,
reshaping
everything
from
hiring
practices
to
contracting
in
state
government.
The
second
was
reforming
state
policies
and
practices
on
sexual
harassment,
and
the
third
was
on
paid
family
leave
implementation
for
state
employees
a
few
years
back
under
governor
mark
dayton's
leadership.
These
efforts
happened
in
no
small
part
due
to
kristin's
leadership
and
that's
in
addition
to
her
legal
work
and
the
legal
work
we
did
together
and
that's.
L
The
second
thing
I
want
to
highlight
about
krista
and
she's,
a
brilliant
public
lawyer.
Being
a
public
lawyer
is
a
really
unique
role
representing
a
unit
of
government.
It's
not
only
challenging,
but
it
is
also
for
the
novel
and
complex
issues,
but
it's
also
one
where
your
advice
is
regular,
regularly
subject
to
public
scrutiny
and
she
has
handled
that
brilliant
brilliantly
for
years
and
has
become
known
on
a
bipartisan
basis
as
a
lawyer
to
respect
so
with
that
I'll
close
by
just
saying
personally
and
professionally.
L
M
Thank
you,
my
name's
sam
clark.
I
was
a
member
of
the
mayor's
interview
committee
as
well.
I'm
going
to
do
my
best
to
finish
before
that
beep
ends
and
also
just
to
add
two
points
that
I
haven't
heard
fully
hit
on
yet,
which
is
first
kristin
is
someone
who
understands
the
role
of
a
government
lawyer.
You
can
read
the
resume
all
day
long,
but
I've
had
some
substantive
conversations
with
her,
and
you
know
it's
my
experience
that
you
all
don't
want
to
hear.
M
No
from
your
lawyers,
you
want
to
hear
a
yes,
but
or
you
know,
this
is
how
we
can
get
where
you
want
to
get
to.
This
is
someone
who's
demonstrated
that
she
can
do
that
and
then?
Secondly,
the
only
other
point
I'd
make
is
kristen's
someone
who
is
committed
to
building
relationships.
M
She's
already
started
that
work
with
little
old
me
from
across
the
river,
but
you
know
that's
building
relationships
with
you
all
as
policy
makers,
it's
building
relationships
with
her
colleagues
in
the
office.
I
see
some
of
them
back
here,
doing
the
important
work
of
of
reforms
and
it's
building
relationships
with
community
which
to
me
might
be
the
most
important
with
all
due
respect.
But
it's
my
experience
that
the
community
justice
means
being
there
before.
Something
goes
wrong,
and
this
is
someone
who
understands
that.
M
So
those
are
the
only
two
points
I'll
make
yeah.
You
got
a
great
candidate
here
in
front
of
you
and
we
made
the
mayor's
job
pretty
difficult.
We
had
a
lot
of
great
candidates,
but
he
made
he
made
the
right
choice.
So
I'm
just
here
in
support.
A
N
N
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
people
who
came
here
today
to
support
my
candid
candidacy,
I'm
trying
to
not
get
teary
to
hear
all
of
these
wonderful
words
of
support
for
my
candidacy
and
for
my
practice
in
the
public
sector.
I
want
to
thank
the
search
committee.
All
of
them
are
talented
lawyers
from
both
the
public
and
private
sectors
for
their
commitment
to
the
city
and
the
time
that
they
took
to
vet
all
the
candidates.
N
I
am
so
grateful
to
mayor
frye
for
his
nomination,
his
vote
of
confidence
in
me
to
fill
this
important
role
at
this
critical
time
for
our
city,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
each
and
every
single
one
of
you
spent
the
time
to
meet
individually
with
me
to
just
get
to
know
who
I
am
as
a
person
to
listen
to
who
who
I
am
and
what
I
want
to
bring
to
this
role
and
to
share
with
me
your
vision
for
what
you
need
in
the
person
who
fills
this
position,
and
I
am
very
very
grateful
for
the
time
that
you've
spent
article
1,
section
1
of
the
minnesota
state
constitution
provides
that
government
is
instituted
for
the
security
and
benefit
and
protection
of
the
people.
N
Those
experiences
and
many
others
allowed
me
to
develop
my
skills
as
a
litigator,
an
advocate
and
an
advisor
helping
to
serve
the
public
interest
at
minnesota
management
and
budget
for
the
past
eight
plus
years
as
enterprise
employment
law,
council,
general
counsel
and
state
ethics
officer.
I
had
the
privilege
to
be
the
legal
advisor
to
policy
makers
across
the
state
enterprise.
N
In
my
role,
I
provide
advice
to
agencies
to
ensure
compliance
with
anti-discrimination
laws,
laws
that
protect
individuals
with
disabilities,
laws
that
protect
state
employees
abilities
to
care
for
themselves
and
their
families.
When
they're
sick.
I
provided
legal
support
when
the
state
developed
its
paid
parental
leave
policy,
which
was
a
pioneer
amongst
employers
at
the
time.
N
N
N
The
project
involved
working
with
stakeholders
to
understand
how
sexual
harassment,
uniquely
harms
communities
of
color
and
individuals
with
disabil
disabilities,
developing
legislative
proposals
to
increase
transparency
for
victims
of
workplace
harassment,
which
unfortunately,
did
not
pass
and
developing
sexual
harassment,
prevention,
training
for
all
state
leaders
and
all
state
employees
incorporating
feedback
from
engagement
with
victims
rights
advocates.
This
is
training
which
all
employees
must
take
every
year.
N
If
you
ever
have
the
opportunity
to
take
the
training,
you
may
discover
that
not
only
was
I
the
content
creator,
but
I
was
also
the
voice
talent
as
state
ethics
officer.
I
helped
overhaul
our
code
of
ethics
policy,
so
it's
now
stronger
and
provides
better
guidance
to
employees
about
their
obligation
to
always
act
with
loyalty
to
the
public
interest.
N
This
is
what
I
want
to
bring
as
a
manager
of
the
office
of
the
city
attorney.
The
lawyers
paralegals
and
administrative
staff
who
serve
the
city
in
the
city.
Attorney's
office
are
fantastic
and
they
are
here
because
they
love
the
city
for
the
staff
of
the
office.
I
want
to
create
a
culture
of
empowerment,
an
environment
where
they
can
bring
their
whole
selves
to
work.
N
N
N
As
a
public
lawyer,
I
know
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
my
client
will
be
the
city
and
the
people
of
minneapolis
that
entails
transparently
providing
my
best
legal
advice
and
interpretation
to
policy
makers.
I
have
done
this
throughout
my
career
and
state
government,
even
when
policymakers
have
different
perspectives
from
each
other.
N
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you,
ms
anderson,
for
being
willing
to
step
into
this
very,
very
active
and
important
role
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I'm
I'm
curious.
Your
last
comment.
You
talked
about
the
ability
to
be
able
to
to
you
know
represent
the
city,
the
mayor's
office,
the
the
council.
N
Chair
palmisano,
president
jenkins.
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
question.
I
I
do
understand
that
that
the
city
is
going
through
some
change
in
terms
of
of
kind
of
getting
its
its
feet
wet
and
getting
some
organization
around
this
new
government
structure,
and
so
you
now
have
both
an
executive
branch
and
a
legislative
branch
a
little
bit
more
specifically
defined
than
you've
than
you
have
had
in
the
past.
N
I
have
had
the
privilege
to
represent
all
three
branches
of
state
government,
particularly
at
the
attorney
general's
office.
That
was
part
of
my
job
to
equally
represent
all
three
branches
of
government
and
any
any
of
their
legal
needs,
and
I
think,
as
a
public
lawyer,
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
early
on
in
our
public
service
career
is
who
is
the
client
the
client
for
me
right
now,
is
the
state
of
minnesota
writ
large
and
the
people
of
minnesota
here.
N
If
I'm
I'm
privileged
enough
to
get
this
position
again,
that
my
client
would
be
the
city
and
all
of
you
are
acting
as
as
decision
makers
and
policy
makers.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
city
is
the
client
and
so
there.
There
is
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
as
an
experienced
and
hopefully
good
public
lawyer,
that
that
I'm
I'm
very
well
experienced
in
in
managing
the
ability
to
give
legal
advice
to
again
the
different
branches
of
government
honoring,
the
rules
of
professional
responsibility.
N
I
I
think
that
I
have
had
the
ability
to
gain
a
lot
of
credibility
at
the
state
by
being
an
honest
actor
by
being
transparent
and
acting
with
integrity,
so
that
you
know
that
when
I
give
you
legal
advice,
I'm
not
giving
different
legal
advice
depending
on
who's.
Asking
me
that
I'm
giving
my
legal
advice,
based
on
my
true
and
and
fair
interpretation
of
of
what
the
law
is,
which
doesn't
mean
that
I
never
changed
my
advice.
N
N
I
listen
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
do
as
a
public
sector
lawyer
is
really
sit
down
and
try
to
listen
to
my
client
and
understand
what
their
approach
is
and
why
they
think
that
perhaps
I
I've
come
to
a
different
conclusion
and
if,
after
listening
to
all
the
facts
and
listening
to
other
people's
perspectives,
if
it
causes
me
to
change
my
opinion
I'll
say
so,
and
I'll
explain
to
anybody
who
had
given
a
previous
different
opinion.
The
reason
why
I
changed
my
opinion
is
because
I
learned
more
information.
N
So
that's
that's
my
general
approach.
I
am
a
very
collegial
a
lawyer.
I
do
care
a
lot
about
my
clients,
I'll
just
share
one
one
thing:
when,
when
you
leave
a
job,
people
tend
to
come
reach
out
to
you
and
say
nice
things
about
you
and,
and
one
hr
leader
said
something
to
me
in
the
last
week
that
that
really,
I
think,
kind
of
speaks
to
this,
and
that
was
you
know,
kristin.
I
appreciate
your
legal
advice,
not
only
because
I
think
your
answers
are
legally
sound,
but
also
because
of
your
approach.
N
You
try
to
understand
and
empathize
and
understand
the
big
picture
of
where
your
client
is
coming
from,
and
that's
what
I
would
bring
to
you
all
and
trying
to
give
my
best
legal
advice
to
again
the
council
to
the
mayor
to
the
department
heads
you
can
you
can
count
on
me
to
give
again
that
transparent
and
honest
legal
advice,
as
as
issues
come
up.
D
Thank
you,
miss
anderson
and,
I
guess
just
a
follow-up.
Mr
clark
stated
that
you
take
a
creative
approach
to
trying
to
get
to.
Yes.
N
It's
not
uncommon
for
a
policy
maker
to
want
to
do
x
and,
and
sometimes
we
find
that
that
folks
have
decided
that
x
is
the
right
course
without
necessarily
knowing
what
the
what
the
options
are.
There
have
been
circumstances
where
the
acts
that
the
policymaker
wanted
to
get
get
to
was
not
completely
legally
sound.
N
So
my
approach
in
that
circumstance
is
to
number
one
explain.
I
don't
know
if
you
you
heard
that
I
do
a
lot
of
training
in
my
job,
and
so
a
piece
of
me
is
kind
of
the
natural
teacher.
So
so
part
of
my
approach
to
that
is
explain
to
the
policy
maker.
N
But
we
could
get
to
y,
which
is
right
next
to
x,
and
we
can
do
it
in
this
manner
in
this
manner
in
this
manner
and
give
options
to
my
clients
so
that
they
can
get
as
close
to
x
as
they
possibly
can
in
as
legally
sound
a
manner
as
possible.
In
my
experience,
there
are
situations
where,
where
we
can
set
things
up
as
we
as
we
develop
policy,
so
that
things
are
the
most
defensible
that
we
possibly
can
have
them
be
and
together
again
with
the
policy
makers,
we
we
tweak
policy.
C
Miss
anderson
you've
actually
spoken
to
one
of
my
key
concerns,
which
is
around
how
you're
going
to
approach
this
kind
of
transition
period
and
then,
hopefully,
a
more
mature
version
of
our
new
structure
of
government,
and
I
think
you
speaking
to
always
having
the
people
as
your
client,
as
kind
of
your
focus
is
a
really
strong
way
of
navigating
some
of
that
complexity,
which
gets
to
another
one
of
my
concerns,
which
is
you
know,
one
of
the
most
sensitive
legal
issues
that
we're
facing
right
now
is
not
just
our
response
to
the
findings
from
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights,
but
also
the
ongoing
investigation
by
the
department
of
justice
and
to
patterns
and
practices
within
our
police
department,
and
I
think
in
serving
the
people.
C
I
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
looking
at
some
of
our
outside
counsel,
one
of
one
of
the
areas
I've
been
very
concerned
about
is
our
representation
by
jones
day
as
a
law
firm,
your
interests
are
with
the
people,
I'm
not
entirely
sure
which
interests
jones
days
are
aligned
with.
You
know,
reading
reporting
about
some
of
their
long-time
relationship
to
the
federalist
society,
a
multi-decade
effort
to
flip
the
supreme
court,
which
they've
successfully
been
able
to
do
which
overturned,
roe
v
wade.
C
They
they
think
in
long
term,
and
they
have
a
very
seemingly
big
picture
scope
of
what
they're
trying
to
transform
the
world
into
that.
Frankly,
frightens
me,
and
so
I
don't
know
that
jones
day
has
our
interests
in
mind
in
the
way
that
you
have
our
interests
in
mind,
and
so
I'm
curious
as
to
how
you'll
approach
these
types
of
relationships
with
outside
counsel
that
maybe
don't
have
that
kind
of
grounding
and
serving
the
people.
N
Chair
palmisano,
council
member
payne,
thank
you
thank
you
for
that
question,
obviously
not
being
part
of
the
city.
Yet
I
can't
speak
to
exactly
what
role
jones
day
is
playing.
You
know
what
their
representation
has
been
like.
You
know.
I
know
that
they're,
a
large
national
law
firm
and
and
do
have
some
areas
of
expertise.
N
Okay,
so
what
I
can
talk
to
you
about
is
my
pr
approach,
you're
right
as
a
public
lawyer,
I
do
know
who
my
client
is.
I
promise
you.
I
will
never
abdicate
that
responsibility
and
I
never
have.
I
have
a
lot
of
experience
at
minnesota
management
and
budget
working
with
you
know
what
I'd
call
outside
counsel
sort
of
being
the
in-house
counsel
to
outside
counsel.
I
am
very
active,
I
don't
let
someone
go
forth
with
a
strategy
that
I
think
is
is
inappropriate
for
my
client.
N
I
think
that
any
of
my
clients,
probably
in
the
room,
can
tell
you
that
I'm
no
shrinking
violet
that
I
understand
who
my
client
is.
I
work
really
hard
to
understand
what
is
in
the
best
interest
of
my
client,
and
I
I
don't
abdicate
that
responsibility
in
this
role.
I
would
be
a
very
you
know.
One
of
my
priorities
obviously
would
be
to
jump
in
and
really
dig
into
the
negotiations
with
mdhr
and
the
the
doj
investigation,
and
I
I
plan
to
lead
that
effort.
I
do
need
help
absolutely,
and
there
are.
O
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano.
I
just
have
three
questions,
but
I'll
start
with
a
comment,
so
I
do
want
to
note.
The
city
attorney
has
an
incredibly
important
role
to
play
in
the
city
on
enterprise
and
making
sure
that
we're
actively
combating
policies
and
practices
that
allow
minneapolis
to
be
one
of
the
worst
cities
in
the
nation
as
it
relates
to
racial
inequities
and
while
I've
been
on,
you
know,
council,
for
a
short
period
of
time.
O
Now,
nine
months
it's
been
frustrating
to
see
what
I
believe
are
some
systemic,
problematic
behaviors
with
the
city
attorney's
office
as
it
relates
to
police
as
council
member
pain.
You
know
related.
Some
of
these
problematic
behaviors
have
even
been
documented
in
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
findings
that
also
found
that
the
city
attorney's
office
has
played
a
role
in
enabling
enabling
you
know
the
racist
and
violent
practices
that
have
existed
within
mpd,
at
least
over
the
course
of
their
10-year
analysis.
O
So
much
so,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
this
council
has
voted
on
many
lawsuits
related
to
police
misconduct
and
taxpayers
have
had
to
foot
the
bill
for
these
legal
settlements,
and
that
said,
I
have
a
major
concern
about
the
ability
of
the
city
attorney's
office
to
provide
assistance
and
support
and
mitigation.
N
Chair
palmisano,
council
member
wansley,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Since
I'm
not
at
the
city,
I
can't
speak
to
what
mitigation
practices
are
happening
right
now,
but
again
similar
to
how
I
answered
council
member
payne's
question.
I
can
tell
you
about
my
approach
as
an
employment
lawyer,
the
idea
of
accountability
and,
frankly,
a
state
ethics
officer.
The
idea
of
accountability
and
holding
public
servants
accountable,
has
always
been
at
the
forefront
of
of
my
legal
practice
at
the
state.
N
One
of
the
things
that
we've
we've
done
a
lot
at
the
state
is
really
try
to
insert
legal
services
along
the
road.
You
know
my
intent
is
to
always
support
good
officers,
but
for
the
folks
who
are
are
not
following
the
rules.
Accountability
is
key
and,
frankly,
a
huge
measure
of
prevention.
So
one
of
the
things
that
I've
done
at
the
state
is
just
like.
N
Here
the
we
have
a
unionized
workforce
and
a
unionized
work
environment
that
has
due
process
requirements,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I've
done
is
really
try
to
imbue
legal
services
along
the
chain.
So
that
investigations
are
as
comprehensive
and
provide
as
much
due
process
as
possible.
And
ms
leland
talked
about
that.
A
little
bit
working
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
legal
advice
for
decision
makers
so
that
they're
making
good
decisions
about
discipline.
N
I
think
that
speaks
volumes
to
to
the
folks
that
that
that
are
there
that
accountability
piece
again
is
something
that
I've
spent.
A
lot
of
time
at
the
state
trying
to
shore
up
and
and
something
that
I
would
want
to
look
at
the
processes
and
and
to
the
extent
that
that
I've
got
ideas
of
how
to
shore
up
those
processes
of
accountability.
O
Thank
you
second
question,
so
it's
been
also
clear
that
we
need
standardized
policies
within
the
city
to
identify
officers,
as
you
name
some
of
the
bad
actors,
those
who
engage
in
high-risk,
behaviors
and
intervene
before
that
behavior
reaches
a
point
of
a
lawsuit
which
also
around
alberta
arbitration
process
like
that's
too
late
for
a
person
to
be.
You
know,
so
many
things
should
have
been
addressed
before
going
to
that.
O
N
Palmisano
councilman
member
wansley,
of
course,
all
of
the
departments
will
be
be
my
client
and
again,
you
know
approach
wise
as
enterprise
employment
law
council.
This
is
this
is
exactly
the
sort
of
stuff
that
I've
been
working
on
at
mmb
for
for
the
statewide
enterprise,
making
sure
that,
frankly,
supervisors
and
managers
are
well
trained
on
on
how
to
do
discipline
and
discharge.
N
A
lot
of
what
I've
done
at
the
state
is
trading,
but
also
a
lot
of
what
I've
done
at
the
state
is
giving
real-time
legal
advice
to
managers
and
supervisors
when
they've
got
a
problem
and
making
sure
that
they've
got
that
legal
support
so
that
they
know
what
the
next
steps
are,
how
to
do
it
in
as
strong
of
a
way
as
possible,
so
that
again,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
any
any
discipline.
That's
actually
taken
is,
is
upheld.
O
N
N
I
understand
that
the
city
attorney's
office
is
working
on
enhancing
its
brady
database.
So
it's
it's
more
robust
and
searchable.
One
of
the
things
that
that
you
know,
I
think
I
talked
about
with
many
of
you-
is
that
I'm
a
very
relational
person
relationships
both
with
my
clients,
and
I
think
sandy
clark
talked
about
it.
Relationships
with
the
community.
N
A
big
piece
of
that
is
also
relationships
with
other
jurisdictions,
and
I
know
that
that
the
city
attorney's
office
and
that
kind
of
the
all
of
the
brady
disclosures
a
lot
of
that
hinges
on
the
relationship
between
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
hennepin
county.
And
so
I
I
was
fortunate
enough
that
I
was
actually
in
the
mall
with
my
daughter,
and
I
got
a
call
from
mike
freeman
who's
already
offered
to
to
sit
down
and
and
build
that
relationship
and-
and
there
are
two
fantastic
candidates
for
hennepin
county
attorney.
N
I
want
to,
if
I'm
lucky
enough,
to
get
this
appointment
in
very,
very
short
order
to
meet
with
all
three
of
them
and
and
talk
with
them
about
about
their
perspectives
and
really
strengthen
that
relationship
amongst
amongst
our
jurisdictions
and
and
and
frankly,
as
sami
sort
of
pointed
out
also
reaching
across
the
river
and
talking
with
our
our
colleagues
in
in
all
the
surrounding
metro
areas
about
how.
How
do
you
do
this?
How
do
we,
how
do
we
learn
from
each
other
and
and
do
all
of
this
better.
E
P
Tomasano
and
thank
you
for
being
here,
I
know
councilmember
payne
mentioned
our
work
with
jones
day,
which
was
touching
part
of
my
first
question,
which
was
in
regards
to
your
opinion,
about
contracting
with
outside
legal
counsel,
especially
when
we
have
talented
city
staff
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
That
can
do
the
same
work.
N
Chair
palmisano
councilman
member
chavez,
I
am
at
a
disadvantage,
not
knowing
you
know,
frankly,
the
the
backgrounds
and
experiences
of
the
of
the
folks
in
the
city
attorney's
office.
If
we
need
assistance
from
outside
counsel,
then
we'll
we'll
need
to
have
have
that
assistance,
but
I
do
want
to
get
in.
You
know
one
of
my
priorities.
N
I've
got
a
lot
of
priorities
and,
and
it's
going
to
be
really
busy
if
I
get
appointed,
but
one
of
my
priorities
is
to
sit
down
with
the
folks
in
our
office
and
and
really
get
to
know
them
and
get
to
know
what
their
experiences
are.
You
know
what
what
skills
and
and
backgrounds
they
have
to
bring
to
bear
just
from
a
sort
of
a
a
taxpayer
steward.
N
If
we've
got
the
the
resources
within
the
office,
then
that
would
certainly
be
my
preference,
but
I
also
want
to
be
realistic
that
some
of
the
things
that
that
we're
dealing
with
particularly
with
the
department
of
justice
is
nuanced
stuff,
and
it
may
be
that
there
are
not
folks
in
the
office
that
that
have
that
experience
again.
As
I
answered
council
member
payne,
I
will
absolutely
make
sure
that
whatever
external
legal
services
that
that
the
city
receives
are
are
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city,
I
will
not
abdicate
that
role.
P
P
I
guess
one
of
my
questions
and
a
little
background
regards
to
that
specific
charges
can
add
to
the
deportation
of
a
lot
of
undocumented
people
here
in
minneapolis.
Would
you
support
implementing
a
process
to
consider
immigration
consequences
within
the
charging
decisions
in
the
city
attorney's
office.
N
Chair
palmisano
council
member
chavez-
and
we
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
in
our
in
our
one-on-one
meeting.
I
am
very
well
aware
that
that
the
stakes
are
much
much
higher
for
our
undocumented
residents
and
I'm
very
very
sensitive
to
that
fact.
I
know
that
the
city
attorney's
office
has
a
really
interesting
diversion
program.
N
If
I'm
actually
hired
for
this
position,
I
really
want
to
dig
into
that
and
see
if
there
are
ways
that
we
can
strengthen
that
diversion,
you
know
folks,
shouldn't
shouldn't
be
in
a
position
of
of
ruining
the
rest
of
their
lives
frankly,
because
of
decisions
made
out
of
out
of
youth
or
or
that's
that
sort
of
thing,
particularly
non-violent
crime.
So
I
really
want
to
look
into
the
diversion
programs
as
really
a
way
of
of
doing
that
sort
of
community
rebuilding.
N
That's
the
most
effective
thing
when,
when
folks,
who
who
violates
community
standards
can
can
make
amends
and
and
within
the
community
and
have
the
ability
to
to
you,
know,
make
a
life
for
themselves
without
having
criminal
background
that
that
that
really
hangs
over
their
neck
and
and
you
know,
either
leads
to
potential
deportation
or
inability
to
get
job
and
housing
and
all
of
those
things.
And
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
address
that
through
the
diversion
program.
Q
Chair,
I'm
really
excited
that
that
you're
here
today
and
I
I
really
appreciate
all
of
the
different
folks
who've
worked
with
you
over
the
course
of
your
career
coming
in
and
telling
us
a
little
bit
about
their
relationship
to
you
in
the
time
that
I
spent
with
you.
Q
I
really
see
the
way
in
which
you
prioritize
relationship
building
and-
and
that's
something-
that's
really
important
to
me
as
well-
and
I'm
thrilled
to
to
see
someone
in
this
role
who
wants
to
prioritize
that
and
then
I
think
councilmember
payne
mentioned
this
earlier,
but
I
was
really
moved
by
by
hearing
you
say
that
you
know
you're
always
looking
out
for
for
the
people
and
they
are
ultimately
the
the
clients
that
you
want
to
to
protect
and
serve.
Q
So
I
want
to
talk
about
two
different
pieces.
The
first.
This
is
a
this
is
a
case
I
think
going
back
to
november
of
2020.
Q
So
shortly
after
the
presidential
election
in
2020,
there
was
a
group
of
646,
so
nearly
700
people
that
walked
onto
the
I-94
highway-
and
you
know
there
wasn't
anyone
stopping
these
people
from
from
entering
the
highway,
as
we
previously
have
seen
in
in
cases
like
this,
and
so
you
know,
a
group
of
people
walked
onto
I-94
and
then
were
blocked
from
from
leaving
that
highway.
Q
Subsequently,
this
group
of
people
was
held
on
the
highway
for
upwards
of
six
hours,
and
this
is
something
that,
like
the
state,
was
highly
involved
in,
along
with
like
hennepin
county,
sheriffs
and
and
the
minneapolis
police
department.
So
there's
multiple
law
enforcement
bodies
that
are
involved,
and
then
you
know
all
of
these,
these
people-
I
wasn't
you,
know
transparently.
I
was
one
of
the
people
that
was
on
that
highway
that
day
and
and
ended
up
being
arrested.
Q
That
day
in
the
past
right,
there
have
been
other
similar
cases
where
people
were
arrested.
Activists
have
been
arrested
for
for
going
on
to
a
highway,
but
what's
previously
been
different,
is
that
there's?
You
know
we
see
dispersal
orders.
Given
we
see,
people
have
the
opportunity
to
leave
the
highway
if
they
want
to
usually
anyone
who's
arrested,
is
you
know,
cited
and
released,
and
then,
following
that
lots
of
most
of
the
time,
these
charges
end
up
getting
dropped
with
the
exception
of
a
handful.
Q
But
in
this
specific
instance,
what
was
unprecedented
was
that
there
was
no
dispersal
order.
Given
anybody
who
wanted
to
leave
the
highway
was
not
allowed
to
to
leave
and
was
held
there
for
a
number
of
hours,
and
then
most
of
these
these
people
were
prosecuted.
Q
I
know
you
weren't
here
for
for
this
case
at
all,
but
we
know
that
our
former
city
attorney,
you
know,
told
a
handful
of
prominent
activists
in
the
twin
cities
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
chose
to
to
prosecute
these
individuals
as
a
result
of
a
lot
of
political
pressure
from
from
the
governor's
office
and
from
the
public
safety.
Q
Commissioner
at
the
state,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
I
want
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
whether
you
would
be
open
to
dropping
the
charges
for
for
these
individuals
and
then
broadly.
I
want
to
know
what
your
vision
is
for.
Honoring
people's
first
amendment
rights
to
protest
and,
and
you
know
not
having
criminal
records
attached
to
people
for
for
doing
for,
for
you
know,
participating
in
activities
like
this.
N
Chair
palmisano
council
member
chug
thai,
without
knowing
more
about
the
situations
and
the
individual
situations,
I
I
can't
commit
to
you
one
way
or
the
other
about
you
know
what
I
would
or
will
do
in
terms
of
those
charges.
I'm
certainly
happy
to
take
a
look
at
that
if
I'm
appointed.
N
Generally
speaking
from
a
you
know
my
my
commitment
to
the
first
amendment
again
as
a
public
sector
lawyer,
I
have
a
great
and
strong
commitment
to
the
first
amendment.
I
do
understand
that
sometimes
we
have
really
difficult
situations
where
we
have
to
balance
people's
first
amendment
rights
on
one
hand
and,
on
the
other
hand,
safety
and
a
really
really
dangerous
situation,
and
how
you
prevent
that
sort
of
dangerous
situation
from
happening
in
the
future.
Q
N
N
I
I
do
aim
to
sammy
clark
gave
me
actually
amazingly
good
advice
and
that
was
early
get
out
and
talk
to
community
leaders
and
not
just
in
minneapolis,
because
we
are
no
longer
just
you
know
an
island
to
ourselves,
but
also
get
out
and
talk
to
community
leaders
in
st
paul
and
in
the
twin
cities,
metro
area.
That's
something
that
I
really
really
want
to
do.
So
we
establish
a
relationship.
N
You
know
it
to
me.
It
goes
a
long
way
when,
when
problems
arise,
when
you've
actually
had
the
ability
to
to
know
each
other
a
little
bit
and
know
and
establish
that
you
are
credible
and
that
you're
somebody
who
can
be
trusted
so
that
when
things
are
difficult,
we
come
at
it
knowing
that
that
there
is
an
honorable
actor
on
the
other
side.
N
So
I
really
want
to
get
out
into
the
community
and
would
love
your
assistance
in,
in
your
words,
to
have
those
introductions
with
the
community
leaders
so
that
we
can
really
start
building
a
a
relationship.
Q
That's
really
wonderful,
thank
you
and
then
the
second
piece
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
the
way
in
which
we
support.
We,
the
city
and
the
city.
Attorney's
office
supports
survivors
of
violence,
whether
it's
gun,
violence,
sexual
violence
and
and
and
other
forms.
I
was
you
know.
Q
I
know
that
one
of
the
folks
who
came
to
testify
on
your
behalf
earlier
talked
a
lot
about
a
specific
case
that
that
you
handled
around
a
sexual
harassment
case,
and
you
know
that
person
getting
their
job
back
through
arbitration
and
what
that
taught
you.
I
was.
Q
I
really
appreciate
that
I
want
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
how
we
want
to
as
a
city
prioritize
prosecuting
perpetrators
of
these
forms
of
violence
and
how
we
treat
survivors,
who
we're
working
with
in,
in
these
cases,
with
care
and
dignity
and
respect.
Q
And
specifically,
I
want
to
call
your
attention
to
this
multi-part
star
tribune
piece
that
was
written,
I
think
mostly
in
2018,
and
it
talked
about
the
way
in
which
survivors
of
sexual
violence
are
treated
throughout
the
process
of
reporting,
whether
it's
by
a
police
departments-
and
there
were
multiple
instances
of
of
cases
with
the
minneapolis
police
department
that
were
referenced,
as
were
you
know,
and
other
law
enforcement
bodies
were
included
in
this
as
well,
but
how
how
people
are
treated
throughout
investigation
and
then
the
way
that
these
cases
when
they're
prosecuted
are
are
handled.
Q
And
mostly
you
know,
the
devastating
part
of
this
piece
was,
you
know,
a
bunch
of
of
people,
residents
of
minneapolis
walking
away
from
a
really
traumatic
experience
that
happened
to
them
with
more
trauma
at
the
hands
of
people
who
were
really
supposed
to
intervene
and
get
some
justice
for
for
them.
N
Chair
palmisano,
council
member
chug
thai.
Thank
you
for
that
question
again.
Can't
comment
on
on
what
the
city
city
does.
I
I
do
think
that
just
looking
at
my
own
history
and
the
work
that
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
is
sexual
harassment,
prevention
and
obviously
it
doesn't
come
in
in
the
context
of
of
crime.
N
So,
that's
that's
something
that
that
I
learned
about
and
really
have
a
deep
and
fundamental
appreciation
for
in
terms
of
what
the
city
can
do
to
kind
of
shore.
Up
again,
I
don't
know
what
what
the
city
is
doing,
but,
but
I
do
think
a
piece
of
this
is
really
really
good
training,
so
that
folks,
who
are
interacting
with
with
victim
survivors,
understand,
trauma,
trauma,
enforced
response,
understand
cultural
mechanisms
that
that
may
make
certain
folks
more
vulnerable
to
to
harassment
to
violence.
N
I
think
that
kind
of
training
is
really
an
invaluable
thing
to
really
to
you
know
I
don't
think
anybody's
coming
at
it
from
from
being
a
bad
actor.
It's
just
sometimes
out
of
just
not
knowing,
and
I
think
that
that
you
know
the
ability
to
train
folks
and
really
get
the
aha
moment.
N
Kind
of
like
I
had
in
in
my
work,
is
really
really
important
and
once
you
sort
of
understand
what
trauma
looks
like
and
and
what
the
vulnerabilities
are
to
be
able
to
have
some
like
good
training,
to
understand
that
and
then
how
to
navigate
that.
R
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
I'm
wondering
if
the
public
hearing
is
closed.
It
is
we've
closed
the
public.
Thank
you.
Then,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
kristen
anderson
as
the
mayor's
choice
for
council
approval
to
serve
as
the
next
count
city
attorney
and
I'd
like
to
speak
to
that
motion.
If
I
may.
R
It
has
always
been
a
position
approved
by
the
mayor
and
the
city
council,
and
that's
why
we're
here
today,
every
department
head
is
an
important
part
of
the
large
puzzle,
that
is
the
city
enterprise,
but
the
city
attorney
is
truly
unique
in
that
there
are
multiple
hats
that
have
to
be
worn.
You
are
going
to
be
the
attorney
for
the
enterprise
that
consists
of
multiple
departments,
probably
22
or
so
different
departments,
with
hundreds
of
different
business
lines
and
over
four
thousand
employees.
R
As
a
result
of
being
the
attorney
for
the
city,
you
will
make
decisions
and
drive
a
staff
team
that
serves
boards
commissions
and
independent
organizations
and
agencies
that
oversees
contracts
in
various
departments
and
otherwise
keeps
all
of
our
employees.
As
many
of
my
colleagues
have
said
out
of
legal
trouble,
so
in
addition
to
being
probably
the
largest
public
law
firm
in
the
state
of
minnesota,
maybe
except
for
the
attorney
general's
office,
we
are
so
privileged
to
have
some
incredible
people
who
work
in
our
city,
attorney's
office.
R
So
what
kinds
of
things
should
we
think
about
when
determining
who
the
city
attorney
should
be
to
me?
It's
not
really
about
how
you
have
acted
in
your
previous
roles,
but
the
relationships
you
build
and
how
you
approach
the
work
and
I've
heard
that
said
by
council
member
chug
tai.
I've
heard
that
said
today
by
council,
member
wansley
and
as
well
as
the
others
who
have
spoken.
But
really
this
is
a
job
that
requires
an
exceptional
public
lawyer
and
many
people
have
come
today
and
others
have
made
calls
and
comments
to.
R
Let
us
know
what
an
incredible
public
lawyer
you
are
when
I
look
at
you,
I
think
you're
so
young.
Yet
you
have
this
incredible
experience
for
someone
who's
been
out
of
law
school
for
22
years.
You
have
been
committed
to
the
rule
of
law
and
to
the
constitution
and
the
oath
that
you
took
when
you
became
a
lawyer.
R
I
often
wonder
if
we'll
be
able
to
hire
these
incredible
top
talent,
leaders
in
the
country
and
in
the
state-
and
you
standing
here
today
have
proved
to
me
that
the
city
is
resilient,
that
we
have
the
ability
to
attract
incredible
talent.
We
have
it
in
the
office
now
and
the
addition
of
you
kristin
anderson
as
the
next
city
attorney,
one
of
only
less
than
50
people
have
ever
had
this
job
in
the
history
of
the
city
makes
me
really
proud.
R
I'm
really
proud
to
be
able
to
have
had
an
opportunity
to
get
to
know
you.
I
think
you
will
fall
in
the
footsteps
of
jay
heffern
and
susan
siegel
and
peter
ginder
and
the
others
who
have
done
this
incredible
job.
I
am
proud
to
be
able
to
move
this
motion
today
and
urge
my
colleagues
to
vote
yes
for
kristin
anderson,
because
her
commitment
to
public
law
cannot
be
questioned.
Thank
you.
S
S
Thank
you
so
much
miss
anderson.
I
know
we
were
just
able
to
meet
briefly,
but
what
I
will
say
is
everything
I
felt
during
the
time
you
sat
in
my
office.
Your
former
colleagues
or
current
colleagues
have
just
said
today,
so
thank
you
for
being
authentic
and
thank
you
for
really.
You
know
speaking
to
what
we
need
to
hear
and
not
what
we
want
to
hear
today.
I
really
appreciate
that.
S
I
told
you
in
my
office
that
even
when
it's
hard
for
me
to
take,
I
want
a
city
attorney
who
tells
me
the
truth
who
tells
me
to
back
down
who
tells
me
that's
not
going
to
work,
and
you
assure
me
that
that
is
who
you
are,
and
I
believe
you
you
know
that
that
means
a
great
deal
to
me.
I
believe
you,
our
city,
needs

and

they're

then
number
17
is

ordinance
updates
from
our
staff,
and
with
that
I
will
stand
for
questions
or
discussion.
O
Thank
you,
so
I
at
least
wanted
to
speak
on
the
receive
and
foul
items
number
17..
I
want
to
note
that
we
did
have
a
public
hearing
on
the
uav
or
drone
usage
program
by
mpd
and
phs
about
two
weeks
ago
and
that
public
hearing
showed
that
there's
a
deep
level
of
concern
amongst
our
community
about
the
usage
of
these
drones.
O
I
do
want
to
note
you
know,
since
the
mayor
is
a
sole
authority,
over
mpd
council
cannot
delay
or
limit
mpd's
use
of
drones
and
they've
also
have
already
decided
to
do
the
implementation
of
this
in
our
within
legal
statute.
To
do
so,
but
that
being
said,
the
council
does
have
authority
in
moving
forward
a
standardized
surveillance
policy
that
will
provide
many
of
the
safety
mechanisms
that
hopefully
are
in
alignment
with
what
the
community
asked
for
at
that
public,
hammering
and
over
the
past
couple
years.
All
that
said.
O
Actually,
today
in
policy
and
government
oversight,
our
committee
meeting,
we
took
the
initiative
to
request
an
update
from
staff
on
the
status
of
overarching
surveillance
framework
that
their
development
with
the
leadership
of
council
vice
president
president
palmisano
and
council
president.
O
Sorry,
council,
member,
hey
who's
been
a
long
day
that
meeting
allowed
for
further
discussion
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
say
that
I'm
working
with
both
council
members
on
a
staff
direction
to
bring
forward
this
thursday
to
initiate
the
process
of
hopefully
moving
ordinance
forward
and
giving
some
thoughts
of
what
those
parameters
can
look
like
in
in
consultation
with
our
staff.
So
I
look
forward
to
you,
know
continuing
engaging
the
public
and
my
colleagues
on
this
important
issue
and
super
excited
to
you
know
hopefully
have
an
ordinance
that
can
be
considered
soon.
A
S
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
