14
is
a
joint
powers
agreement
with
the
state
of
minnesota
to
provide
law
enforcement,
support
to
the
minneapolis
police
department.
C
C
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
this
agreement
seems
to
be
a
consequence
of
the
mpd
contract
that
we
just
voted
for
before
going
on
a
very
extensive
and,
I
hope,
nourishing
work
week
for
most
of
y'all.
But
one
of
the
dynamics
about
this
is
the
bca
is
being
contracted
for
investigative
support,
which
I
know
is
a
critical
need
for
mpd,
and
not
only
mpd
but
all
of
successful
law
enforcement
agencies
across
the
nation.
C
But
I
would
like
to
point
out
earlier
this
year
the
mpd
staffing
study
that
was
presented
to
those
of
us
who
sit
on
public
health
and
safety.
That
study
highlighted
staffing
issues
within
the
department
and
one
of
the
key
ones
is
the
70-30
ratio
in
the
mpd
contract,
which
means
that
investigation
staff
is
chronically
depleted
in
order
to
meet
certain
numbers
of
beat
officers.
C
The
recently
approved
contract
will
continue
to
perpetuate
the
staffing
crisis
and,
unfortunately,
it
seems
that
this
joint
agreement
appears
to
basically
be
compensating
for
that
lack
of
officers.
That's
needed
to
do
this
crucial
work
I
want
to
share.
Personally,
I
don't
feel
good
about
relying
on
the
state
to
fill
in
the
gap
that
we
have
created.
You
know
with
this
existing
contract.
C
A
D
A
E
E
E
E
E
E
We
continue
to
meet
our
fund
balance
and
net
position,
reserve
requirements
as
set
by
policy
and
all
but
two
of
our
major
funds
and
those
two
funds.
Again
I
mentioned
earlier
the
parking
fund
we're
seeing
impacted
by
a
decrease
in
revenue
related
to
the
kova
19
pandemic,
and
then
the
sanitary
sewer
fund
is
under
its
minimum
cash
balance
due
to
planned
capital
investments.
E
E
E
So
here's
some
details
about
how
we
got
to
that
over
collection.
So
again
we
finished
the
year
just
over
budget.
We
do
typically
collect
more
than
we
expect
or
more
than
we
budget
so
2021
we
collected
100.7
percent
of
the
budget.
Historically,
we
would
look
at
about
103
percent
of
budget,
so
good,
but
not
as
good
as
recent
history.
Of
course,
recent
history
was
fairly
historic
and
and
very
good,
so.
E
The
next
slide
is
a
bar
chart
and
some
numbers
related
to
our
major
expenditures
by
category
or
by
department.
I'm
sorry!
These
are
the
major
departments
within
the
general
fund.
Here
again,
you've
got
the
expenditure
budget.
What
was
actually
spent
and
then
whether
that
was
over
under
the
budgeted
amounts
bottom
right
corner
of
the
chart.
You
can
see
we're
17.1
million
dollars
underspent
for
the
end
of.
E
E
Well,
the
next
few
slides
are
going
to
group
the
remaining
funds
in
the
presentation
together
because
we
think
of
them
kind
of
collectively
as
as
fund
types.
So
the
first
fund
type
here
is
special
revenue
fund.
As
the
name
implies
this,
these
funds
are
used
to
account
for
the
proceeds
of
specific
revenue
sources.
E
E
E
The
next
slide
a
bunch
of
information.
This
is
cash
and
fund
balance
by
by
specific
or
individual
fund
comparing
2020
year
end
to
2021,
and
then
you
can
see
which
funds
went
up
and
down,
of
course,
about
two-thirds
of
the
way
down
there.
The
grants
fund
you
can
see
had
that
large
increase
in
cash,
which,
like
I
mentioned,
was
a
large
reason
for
the
increase.
E
The
next
group
of
funds
collectively
we'll
talk
about
are
the
internal
service
funds.
These
funds
are
used
to
account
for
goods
and
services
provided
internally
to
other
city
funds
and
departments
again.
The
second
bullet
point
is
a
list
of
those
funds
that
we're
reporting
on
in
this
report.
Collectively,
the
net
position
of
these
funds
at
year
end
2021
increased
about
11
million
from
where
we
were
at
the
end
of
2020.
E
E
Okay
and
then
the
final
group
of
funds
collectively,
we
think
about
these
enterprise
funds.
Sometimes
sometimes
we
refer
to
them
as
the
business-like
funds.
These
are
the
funds
that
the
operations
sell,
goods
and
services
to
external
third
parties.
They
include
those
funds
listed
there
under
the
second
bullet
point,
so
you
know
utility
funds,
etc.
E
E
That's
actually
a
very
small
decrease
from
where
we
were
at
the
end
of
2020
and
again
I
mentioned
the
parking
fund
falls
into
this
group,
so
revenue
losses
there
and
some
spending
down
in
the
water
fund
contributed
to
that
cash
decrease
and
again,
the
slide
here
shows
fund
by
fund
performance,
comparing
2020
to
2021
and
again
you
can
see
which
specific
funds
went
up
or
down
right
there.
So
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation.
A
Thank
you,
mr
hodges,
and
I'm
gonna
see.
If
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
following
your
presentation,
I've
got
a
few
questions.
One
is.
I
noticed
that
our
our
bond,
that
was
the
bond
rating
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
and
I
saw
that
two
agencies
had
increased
our
bond
rating,
which
is
good
news,
especially
after
the
last
couple
of
years
that
we've
had.
A
I
won't
pretend
to
know
all
that
goes
into
the
bond
rating,
but
I
do
know
that
the
self-insurance
fund
and
our
ability
to
to
to
keep
the
self-insurance
fund
you
know
robust
is
is
is
a
factor
in
our
ratings
there.
You
know
in
my
first
term
we
had
you
know
about
47
million
dollars
in
large.
Settle.
You
know
between
two
large
settlements
that
we
paid
out
that
came
out
of
the
the
self-insurance
fund.
A
E
Chair
elson,
thank
you.
That's
a
good
question.
So
the
the
note
on
that
first
slide.
There
was
about
the
outlook
for
the
bond
rating,
so
the
city's
bond
rating
has
actually
been
the
same,
the
official
rating
but
they're
just
they
change
the
way
that
they
predict
our
future
to
look
like
in
that
case.
So,
yes,
the
the
self
insurance
fund
activity.
E
A
And
then,
and
then
my
other
question
is,
did
has
our
spending
out
of
the
self-insurance
fund
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
at
all
impacted
our
ability
to
do
it?
It
kind
of
looks
like
it
hasn't,
but
I'm
just
curious
has
our
has
payments
out
of
itself
insurance
fund
or
the
activity
of
the
self-insurance
one
at
all
impacted
service
levels
in
the
last
couple
of
years
that
the
city's
able
to
provide
so
like?
A
E
Chair
ellison,
I
think
the
specific
amounts
of
contributions
from
other
funds.
I
would
have
to
to
get
back
to
you
after
the
meeting
on.
But
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
before,
the
general
fund
was
experiencing
record
levels
of
revenue
in
the
years
leading
up
to
the
pandemic,
and
so
that
allowed
us
some
amount
of
flexibility
when
it
came
to
funding
self-insurance
self-insurance
needs.
E
And
so
that's
where
we
saw
in
2021
an
action
to
move
27
million
dollars,
specifically
from
the
general
fund
to
the
self-insurance
fund,
to
help
defray
that
specific
cost
and
then
going
forward.
Of
course,
we're
continuing
to
be
planful
with
how
we
allocate
those
charges
to
the
funds
to
make
sure
that
we're
no
we're
not
impacting
one
more
or
more
more
than
another
cool.
A
C
Thank
you,
chair
ellison.
I
just
had
a
question
in
regards
to
the
special
revenue
funds.
If
we're
anticipating
any,
you
know
differing
impacts
on
some
of
the
the
programs
listed
in
this.
As
you
mentioned,
the
opera
funds
you
know
accounted
for
a
large
portion
of
this
increase
as
we're
moving
into
spending
the
remainder
of
those
upper
funds
going
to
2020.
Do
we
anticipate
any
negative
impacts
without
that
supplemental
income.
D
E
There's
a
little
bit
more
chair,
allison
councilman
chavez,
so
yeah.
When
we
finish
when
we
don't
spend
funds
in
the
general
fund,
they
they
basically
fall
to
the
bottom
line.
We
say
which
means
they're
available
for
reappropriation
into
2022,
which
is
part
of
the
rollover
resolution
that
was
in
this
meeting
as
well,
but
then
yeah
it.
It
becomes
available
for
future
spending.
Perfect.
A
All
right
so
I'll
take
a
moment
to
see
if
we
have
any
further
questions
and
I'm
not
seeing
any
further
questions
from
colleagues
and
so
seeing
no
further
discussion.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
report
and
mr
hodges
thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation
all
right.
Lastly,
or
maybe
not
quite
lastly,
we're
on
item
18,
which
is
referring
to
staff
in
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation,
the
public
safety
department
charter
amendment,
as
introduced
by
council
member
payne.
A
B
C
Yeah,
thank
you
clerk
casey
and
thank
you
chair
ellison.
So,
as
you
see,
we've
made
some
changes,
but
just
a
little
context
around.
You
know
the
intentionality
behind
bringing
some
of
these
changes
behind
the
staff
directive.
I'm
really
excited
that
you
know.
At
the
council
level,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
move
forward
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
council
member
payne.
With
introducing
this
amendment.
C
Through
its
introduction,
we
as
a
council
actually
have
the
opportunity
to
set
a
new
standard
of
demonstrating
the
city's
ability
to
provide
public
safety
services
with
high
professional
and
ethical
standards.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
repair
broken
relationships
between
our
residents
as
well
as
the
city
of
minneapolis.
C
I
think
we
all
can
agree
that
we
need
to
better
coordinate
and
fully
fund
non-police
public
safety
programs,
and
also
we
agreed
that
you
know
housing.
Multiple
programs
within
one
department
is
the
best
way
to
do
that,
but
I
also
want
to
acknowledge.
We
all
can
agree
that
mpd
has
some
serious
work
to
do
in
order
to
regain
the
public,
trust
and
credibility.
C
We
should
be
very
honest
with
our
selves
in
intentional
about
the
realities
that
exist
within
mpd
right
now,
even
as
we're
having
this
conversation,
this
whole
lord,
is
it
morning
and
this
afternoon,
even
this
afternoon,
we're
having
this
discussion
like
we're,
still
waiting
to
hear
back
from
you
know
the
state
departments
of
human
rights,
as
well
as
the
department
of
justice
around
you
know,
recommendations
that's
going
to
be
coming
from
their
ongoing
investigation.
So
personally,
you
know
based
off
of
the
conversations
that
I've
had
with
my
constituents.
C
I
feel
that
you
know
a
key
component
of
this
staff
directive.
Is
you
know,
making
sure
that
we
have
the
intentional
integration
of
mpd?
So
personally,
it
makes
sense,
for
you
know
me
for
mpd
to
move
into
this
new
department
of
public
safety
after
they've
completed
some
of
this
deep
structure
and
cultural
changes
that
many
of
these
reports
are
going
to
prescribe
over.
You
know
the
coming
weeks
or
months,
and
also
you
know
believe
that
to
integrate
them
before
we
do,
that
of
integrating
these
recommendations.
C
To
integrate
them
beforehand
would
basically
be
showing
the
public
that
the
city
is
not
interested
in
a
good
faith
effort
to
transform
our
police
force.
I'm
also
concerned
that
integrating
mpd
before
they
do
these
necessary
changes.
It
could
damage
the
reputation
of
our
other
city
employees,
who
work
extremely
hard
to
provide
ethical
and
quality
standards
to
the
public.
C
So
one
of
the
key
pieces
why
we
have
mpd
and
looking
at
the
integration
of
the
the
minneapolis
police
department,
you'll
see
that
in
the
proposed
amendment,
it's
largely
behind
that
intentionality
and
this
is
in
section
b.
So
you
know.
Furthermore,
I
also
want
to
highlight
you
know
it
will
be
in
my
understanding,
illogical
to
integrate
mpd
into
this
new
department
immediately,
because
voters
were
also
clear
in
november
that
they
wanted
the
mayor
to
continue
to
have
sole
authority
over
mpd.
C
They
did
not
want
the
police
to
have
14
bosses,
and
that
was
expressed
in
the
results
in
relationship
to
question
one
and
two,
so
we
should
honor
the
voters
wishes
by
allowing
the
mayor
as
the
sole
authority
over
mpd
to
work
on
overhauling,
as
he's
promised
to
do,
and
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
support
with
these
upcoming
recommendations
to
help
guide
that
process.
Voters
also
emphasize
that
the
city
needs
a
both
an
approach
to
public
safety.
C
This
proposal
meets
that
request
and
allows
the
city
council
to
fully
utilize
our
legislative
authority
over
this
department
in
a
way
that
would
not
be
possible
for
mpd,
especially
if
it
was
initially
included.
So
I
just
want
to
lay
out
my
thinking
behind.
You
know
the
changes
that
we
proposed
here,
and
I
also
know
that
I
want
to
see
all
options
be
put
on
the
the
table
for
us
to
consider,
which
is
what
this
staff
director
will
allow
us
to
have.
C
B
D
C
Like
months
ago,
it
was
crazy
to
believe
we're
only
three
months
in,
but
that
came
up
several
weeks
ago
and
one
of
the
clearest
and
top
recommendations
that
the
report
made
was
to
allow
the
city
to
for
the
city
to
provide
more
space
for
the
community
to
give
input
and
participate
in
conversations,
especially
as
it
relates
to
public
safety.
So
I'm
glad
that
this
could
be
a
stepping
stone
to
do
that.
C
So
just
laying
the
context
out
here
and,
of
course
around
for
questions
and
that's
all
oh
and
then
adding
a
new
amendment
to
this,
because
I
did
want
to
be
intentional.
After
speaking
to
some
of
you
about
the
the
dates
in
which
we're
asking
for
a
report
back
on
this,
I
do
want
to
make
amendments
for
section
c
where
right
now
it
says,
may
23rd
2020.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member,
wansley,
worlabah
and
yes,
I
see
the
tech
team
is
now
adjusting
it,
so
the
public
can
see
the
the
entirety
of
the
of
the
document,
including
point
d.
I
I
think
I'm
gonna
try
to
take
this
in
order.
I
believe
we
had
councilmember
chavez.
Did
you
is
that
your
name?
Okay?
That
is
great,
then
we
have
council,
member
vital
with
the
question.
F
Thank
you,
chair
ellison,
so
thank
you,
councilmember
wansley
wallabaugh
for
the
the
the
I
guess
the
analysis
of
how
this
is
going
to
work.
What
what's
confusing
to
me
is
that,
if
we're
asking
for
staff
direction,
how
do
we
have
so
much
of
this
already
determined
like
we
already?
If
we're
gonna
do
some
staff
direction?
F
We
already
have
departments
that
we
want
to
put
in
this
if
this
is
coming
from
a
place
of
community
like
where
was
community
at
on
the
front
end
of
this
discussion
to
say
that
they
want
fire
department,
office
of
violence,
prevention
or
any
of
these
departments
that
are
listed
here
as
a
part
of
this
staff
direction.
That
would
be
my
first
question
and
the
question
that
I
keep
getting
from
community
over
and
over
again
is
how
does
this
department
of
public
safety
better
serve
the
people
of
minneapolis?
F
F
Just
really
some
concrete
answers
I
can
give
to
my
constituents
because
since
it
was
introduced
again,
it
is
a
big
topic
in
ward
4
and
with
this,
not
including
the
police,
but
you
do
have
departments
that
could
be
recommended
to
be
put
in
this.
So
maybe
it
could
include
the
police
department
after
the
analysis.
But
those
are
my
questions.
How
is
this
better
going
to
serve
the
people
of
minneapolis
and
how
have
we
determined
that
these
departments
should
be.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair
ellison.
Thank
you,
councilmember,
vital
in
terms
of
your
first
question,
in
terms
of
where
community
input
was
provided
in
shaping
it
particularly
section
a
so
as
I
noted
the
intentionality
behind
highlighting
these
specific
departments
was
basically
coordinating
our
non-armed
public
safety
services.
So
I
think
this
actually
helps
crystallize
for
the
public.
C
What
other
public
safety
services
that
doesn't
require
a
sworn
peace
officer
to
come
and
address
their
concerns,
like
what
other
options
are
available
on
the
table
for
them
at
the
city,
and
this
is
also
part
of
the
intentionality
behind
the
staff
directive.
We
recognize
that
all
of
these
departments
that
are
listed
are
fragmented
across
the
city
enterprise,
which
has
prevented
coordinated
and
streamlined.
C
You
know
administration
of
these
services
to
a
greater
scale
of
our
residents,
which
gets
at
that
question
number
two:
the
fact
that
we
have
our
mental
health
behavior
team
in
one
department
we
have
ovp
in
a
different
department,
at
least,
if
we're
moving
forward
with
centralizing
these
services,
then
residents
know
if
I
call
9-1-1,
which
we
also
include
in
this
department.
Then
they'll
have
options
for
fire
to
come
and
do
some
of
the
existing
work
that
they're
doing
around
opiate.
You
know
responses
our
crime
prevention
specialist.
C
C
Actually,
we
would
like
to
seal
both
end,
and
this
gets
at
that.
How
do
we
move
forward
with
mpd
remaining
intact,
while
it's
over,
you
know
being
overhauled,
and
how
do
we
also
move
forward
with
centralizing
many
of
the
existing
services
that
we
already
have?
That's
currently
fragmented?
That
leads
to
issues
around
understaffing
and
under
funding.
So
this
is
a
really
good
opportunity
to
finally
streamline
and
set
that
new
standard
of
public
safety
for
all
of
our
residents.
C
That,
as
you
know,
in
our
public
health
and
safety
committee,
we've
constantly
been
called
to
rise
to
that
that
that
action
at
the
at
least
legislative
level-
and
this
is
a
stepping
stone
to
do
so
and
then
the
other
dynamic
that
you
raised
in
terms
of
this
all
being
figured
out
prior
hand.
I
would
not
necessarily
that's
say:
that's
accurate
in
this
case
of
again
we're
outlining.
What's
already
here,
I
think,
having
community
input
is
part
of
the
amendment
piece
to
d,
where
this
is
the
opportunity
to.
C
Finally,
you
know
take
that
stepping
stone
to
provide
a
public
comment
period
on
a
plant
on
actually
some
concrete
proposals
to
respond
to
that
our
staff
will
get
the
opportunity
to
produce
for
the
public
and
to
give
them
adequate
time
to
say.
Well,
no,
this
don't
sound
right.
Maybe
we
need
to
be
looking
at
something
else,
so
I
think
we're
also
very
intentional
in
this
proposal
of
also
including
that
public
comment
period
so
that
you
know
constituents
in
your
ward.
C
A
And
you
know
I
would
I
would
just
add
you
know
I,
when
I'm
looking
at
the
document.
I
see,
I
see
the
term
analysis
on
this
document
a
number
of
times,
and
so,
when
we're
seeing
the
departments
that
are
listed,
I
think
I
read
it
as
an
analysis
of
what
this
thing
might
look
like
and
the
listing
of
the
departments
and
the
material
that's
on
the
staff
direction
really
gives
people
something
to
react
to
so
that
they're
not
looking
at
a
blank
page.
A
A
G
Thank
you,
chair
ellison
and
councilmember
onesie
oliver,
for
putting
on
this
presentation.
I
prepared
some
thoughts
about
the
agenda
item.
So
when
we
originally
postponed
the
staff
directive,
it
was
because
a
few
hours
later
at
committee
of
the
whole,
we
were
scheduled
to
have
a
presentation
by
the
government
structure
subcommittee
that
included
the
mayor's
proposed
executive
reorganizational
plan.
This
presentation
outlined
the
mayor's
direction
regarding
the
creation
of
a
department
of
community
safety
for
the
public.
G
G
G
My
primary
disagreement
is
that
it
directs
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
to
create
an
ordinance
establishing
a
department
of
public
safety
that
does
not
include
the
minneapolis
police
department
in
item
one.
The
list
of
potential
departments
to
be
included
in
the
department
of
public
safety
intentionally
does
not
include
the
minneapolis
police
department.
G
In
conversations
over
the
past
two
weeks,
I've
repeatedly
expressed
that
I
believe
the
mpd
should
be
explicitly
included
in
the
list
of
those
listed
departments,
so
that
at
a
bare
minimum,
opi
would
have
to
provide
an
analysis
on
whether
or
not
mpd
should
be
included
in
the
department.
But
this
staff
directive
does
not
reflect
that
request
and
the
background
analysis
for
the
staff
directive
includes
direction
that
the
minneapolis
police
department
shouldn't
be
included
in
this
new
department
upon
creation,
with
no
further
explanation
as
to
if
or
when
it
should
be
included
in
the
new
department.
G
So
it's
very
clear
to
me
that
the
staff
directive
directs
opi
to
create
a
proposal
for
a
department
of
public
safety
that
does
not
include
mpd.
Despite
what's
been
said,
this
is
not
a
both
and
approach.
A
both
and
approach
is
an
approach
where
we
both
reform
the
minneapolis
police
department
and
invest
in
alternative
responses.
G
While
we
also
make
sure
that
we
are
building
a
system
that
allows
the
mpd
to
effectively
and
efficiently
perform,
911
and
investigatory
services,
the
approach
in
the
staff
directive
takes
no
action
to
reform
the
mpd.
This
staff
directive
takes
action
to
reform
every
partner
in
our
public
safety
system,
except
the
mpd.
G
My
constituents
and
the
constituents
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
have
made
it
clear
that
they
want
to
see
deep
and
structural
change
within
the
police
department.
So
it's
unclear
to
me
why
we
would
take
the
opportunity
that
we
have
to
create
that
change
and
blatantly
ignore
it.
I've
repeatedly
advocated
for
culture
change
within
the
mpd.
G
G
G
That's
why
I
cannot
vote
to
recommend
or
forward
the
staff
directive
to
city
council
for
the
sake
of
our
constituents
and
for
the
sake
of
the
future
of
the
city
of
minneapolis.
It's
time
for
us
to
get
on
the
same
page
and
start
working
together
to
create
the
deep
transformational
change.
We
all
know
needs
to
happen.
C
C
Section
b
says:
provide
an
analysis
on
implementation
and
potential
phase
and
process
for
identified
departments.
At
section
c,
it
says,
evaluate
possible
integration
of
the
minneapolis
police
department.
So,
in
that
very
sentence,
it
says
we
will
also
have
staff
bring
back
reports
on
what
an
integration
process
looks
like
for
our
armed
services.
So
again
we
are
outlining
in
the
staff
directive
some
clear
parameters
for
our
staff
to
report
back
to
us
on
about
what
this
new
department
can
look
like.
C
We
absolutely
need
to
invest
in
public
safety
alternatives,
and
we
also
need
to
keep
the
police
tax
and
do
the
work
that
you
talked
about
reform.
They
also
made
it
clear
in
question
one
who
should
be
leading
up
the
charge
to
reform
mpd,
which
is
again
the
mayor
and
leading
and
having
sole
authority
to
to
move
forward
with
that
work.
Council
cannot
and
we
do
not
have
authority
to
move
for
any
overhaul
over
mpd
and
this
staff
analysis
gets
at
that
dynamic.
C
It
honors
what's
currently
passed
by
voters
in
november
of
our
current
government
structure
that
was
supported
by
voters
and
it
does
move
us
towards
a
both
an
approach
where
mpd
can
absolutely
still
do
the
work
of
reforming
and
overhauling
itself,
and
they
could
do
that
with
the
only
person
who
has
the
charter
authority
over
them,
which
is
the
mayor,
and
it
also
allows
us
so
we're
not
doing
14
bosses.
Again.
C
C
How
do
we
actually
bring
them
into
this
department
and
set
them
up
for
a
strong
foundation,
and
the
staff
directive
gets
at
that,
and
I
want
to
highlight
two
staff
directives-
and
I
shared
this
with
you:
councilmember
koski
are
pretty
routine
and
a
pretty
you
know
standard
practice
of
council
members
in
exercising
our
legislative
authority.
This
is
not
contentious.
This
is
literally
saying
staff.
Can
you
help
us
do
our
jobs?
None
of
us
have
a
proposal
on
this
table
of
how
to
create
a
new
department
of
public
safety.
C
That's
actually
going
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
residents.
This
allows
our
staff
to
do
their
jobs
and
support
us
in
doing
our
jobs,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
office,
and
really
building
something
strong
in
setting
an
ethical
standard
for
a
new
model
of
public
safety
and
ira,
rather
have
the
opportunity
to
react
and
respond
and
ask
deeper
questions.
When
we
have
a
presentation
in
front
of
us
like
we
was
just
delivered
a
couple
you
know
minutes
ago
to
then
have
ongoing
conversations
about
what
shouldn't
be
included.
C
What
should
be
done
like
we
don't
have
that
right
now,
and
this
should
be
a
non-controversial
matter,
a
staff
director.
That
literally
says,
can
you
help
us
figure
this
out
and
there's
already
a
baseline?
We
already
have
these
services,
we
already
know
they're
underfunded,
they're,
understaffed,
they're,
spread
out
amongst
the
city
on
for
enterprise.
We
know
mpd
is
going
through
a
lot
and
it's
going
to
take
some
intentional
time
for
the
mayor
and
the
new
police
chief
to
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
implement
so
many
other
recommendations.
C
We
can
do
that
simultaneously
and
be
intentional
and
stay
in
our
respective
lanes,
while
also
collaborating
to
deliver
this
new
standard
and
again
this
is
the
stepping
stone
to
get
us
there
and
it's
a
stepping
stone
that
reaffirms
support
for
what
voters
decided
in
november
around
the
both
end.
So
thank
you
for
those
comments.
Of
course,
you
know
we've
been
in
conversations
about
where
we
disagree
and
again
it's
fine
to
disagree.
A
All
right,
so
there
is
a
motion
to
approve
the
staff
direction.
Is
there
any
further
discussion?
You
know
I
actually
will
just
put
myself
in
queue
right
before
we
take
the
vote.
Just
I
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
a
few
things
are
important.
One
is
that
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion,
the
staff
direction
here,
and
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
do
the
same,
and
I
and
I
wanted
to
just
sort
of
lay
out
a
few
things
one
is.
A
There
may
be
differences
in
vision
between
members
of
this
body,
13
members
of
this
body
and
the
mayor
on
how
to
move
forward
on
certain
things.
That's
going
to
happen,
it's
bound
to
happen
and
when
it
comes
time
to
vote
on
on
an
ordinance
on
on
on
something
that
might
go
on
the
ballot
to
voters.
Those
differences
will
have
to
be
reconciled
by
that
time.
A
But
if
there
are
differences
in
vision
and
what
we're
doing
is
preparing
an
analysis,
we
are
the
legislative
body.
I
know
that
question
one
did
not
come
with
a
plan.
I
know
that
question
one
didn't
come
with
any
meat
on
its
bones
and
we're
figuring
that
out
and
we're
sort
of
building
the
plane
as
we
fly
it,
but
we,
but
we
do
know
that
we're
the
legislative
body
and
that
the
mayor
is
going
to
come
with
his
ideas.
A
A
That,
in
essence,
is,
is,
is
looking
for
us
to
create
an
analysis
of
what
this
might
include
to
create
an
analysis
of
what
this
could
look
like
moving
forward.
Do
I
think
that
we,
if
council
members,
want
to
work
with
councilmember
payne,
councilmember,
swansea
worleva,
to
begin
reconciling
those
differences
before
the
full
council?
I
think
that's
appropriate
too.
I
think
we
can
get
started
on
that
work
like
as
soon
as
this
meeting.
A
You
know
you
know
wraps
up,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that
that
those
disagreements
are
going
to
be
a
part
of
it.
Those
those
differences
in
vision
are
going
to
be
a
part
of
it
and
that
they
will
get
reconciled
one
way
or
the
other
and
that
we
don't
have
to
necessarily
foreclose
a
council
member's
vision.
Just
because
it
is
you
know
not
fully
fleshed
out
a
staff
direction.
A
Is
us
pursuing
the
fleshing
out
the
fully
fleshing
out
of
an
idea.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
I
I
think
that
this
I
think
that
there
is
a
a
lot
to
react
to
in
the
staff
direction.
I
think
that
there's
an
emphasis
on
on
analysis
that
I
think
is
really
important
and
that
really
defines
the
staff
direction,
and
so
those
are
the
reasons
that
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
it.
Those
are
the
reasons
I
think
it's
worth
supporting
you
know.
D
A
We
close-
I
just
want
to
just
thank
everybody
for
coming
to
our
first
pogo
meeting,
that's
entirely
in
person,
and
I
know
that
that's
like
a
weird
thing
after
a
heated
heated
discussion,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
clerks
for
all
of
the
support
and
the
tech
team
for
all
the
support
that
that
we've
gotten
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
You
know
and-
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
patience
and
in
the
rough
start
that
we
got
here.
A
I
was
kind
of
used
to
the
virtual
format
and
sort
of
forgot
that
I'm
as
the
chair.
I
can
kind
of
just
proceed
into
this
thing
as
needed.
So
thank
you,
everybody.
I
look
forward
to
being
on
the
diocese
more
often
and
and
seeing
you
all
in
here.
More
often,
if
there's
any
other
note
from
the
cl,
if
there's
nothing
else
from
anyone
and
seeing
no
further
business
