Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
today
we
will
begin
hearing
presentations
from
city
departments
on
the
mayor's
2023
2024
recommended
budgets
on
the
agenda.
Today
is
the
city
attorney's
office
and
the
city's
proposed
new
legislative
branch,
which
will
include
the
city
auditor,
the
city
clerk's
office
and
the
city
council.
Our
first
presentation
will
be
from
the
city
attorney's
office.
A
D
C
You
all,
but
I
wanted
to
start
with
a
department
overview
for
the
city
attorney's
office.
I
think
by
now
many
of
you
have
a
general
understanding,
those
of
you
who
are
relatively
new
to
the
city,
and
that
is
that
we
are
roughly
divided
into
two
fairly
equal
divisions.
One
is
the
civil
division
and
you
can
see
that
we
are
broken
up
in
the
civil
division
into
two
major
teams.
C
One
is
the
client
services
team,
which
provides
all
the
general
legal
advice
for
the
city
departments
as
well
as
elected
officials,
and
then
the
other
part
is
the
litigation
team
which,
as
the
name
indicates,
provides
all
the
litigation
services
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
I
would
note
that,
unlike
a
lot
of
municipal
legal
departments,
we
generally
provide
all
of
those
legal
litigation
services
unless
there
are
specific
needs
that
require
us
to
go
outside,
such
as
conflicts
of
interest
on
the
criminal
division
side,
which
is
led
by
mary
ellen.
Hang.
C
This
is
a
short
statement
of
the
program
and
staffing
history
over
the
last
few
years.
Obviously,
for
the
current
year,
we're
allocated
107
ftes
that
purports
to
grow
to
111
in
2023
and
2024,
and
there
is
a
corresponding
budget
increase.
That
you'll
see
goes
from
the
roughly,
I
believe,
it's
18
and
or
close
to
19
million
dollars
to
roughly
the
20
million
dollars
moves
up
closer
to
that.
C
Our
mission
statement-
and
I
would
like
to
point
out
for
the
members
that
in
the
second
sentence,
particularly
where
our
work
is
centered
in
our
collaboration
with
other
clients,
system
partners
and
governmental
units
and
for
us
what
the
part
that
I
think
is
most
important
is
that
this
office
is
governed
by
the
highest
ethical
standards,
integrity
and
principles
of
justice.
C
That
is
something
that
this
office
has
taken
seriously.
I
will
tell
you
going
back
for
the
40
years.
I've
been
associated
with
the
city
that
this
ethical
standards
is
our
greatest
obligation
to
our
clients
and
to
the
community
at
large,
and
within
that
you'll
see.
There
are
two
main
goals:
one
is
to
create
a
safer
and
more
equitable
city
through
the
misdemeanor
prosecution
and
justice
system,
injustice,
reform
and
then
protect
the
city's
legal
interests
and
provide
counsel
to
the
elected
officials,
departments
and
all
the
staff
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
as
needed.
C
You
see
our
program
budget
will
grow
somewhat.
It
will
actually
actually
decreases
from
this
year,
which
is
something
that
I
haven't
actually
noticed
before.
I
made
this
statement
right
here.
The
budget
is
slightly
less
in
2023
than
it
is
in
the
current
year,
the
services
proactively
partner,
with
departments
on
the
creation
of
laws
and
policies
that
are
legally
sound.
Our
performance
metrics,
as
you
see
our
performance
metrics,
are
qualitative
rather
than
quantitative,
and
there's
a
long
history
of
that,
because
the
city
attorney's
office
has
long
viewed
a
number
of
measures.
C
The
other
of
our
primary
service
lines
is
to
minimize
the
city's
liability
and
civil
litigation
and
again
it's
a
qualitative
summary
of
the
output
of
our
work
product
as
well
as
we
do
do
some
tracking
with
resolved
cases
that
we
consider
one
versus
loss.
So
there
is
some
actual
number
tracking
in
that
particular
measure.
C
C
C
The
charging
team
for
our
requests
are
two
additional
ftes
that
would
form
a
charging
team
consisting
of
an
assistant
city
attorney
two
and
an
assistant
city
attorney
won.
C
This
would
be
a
dedicated
charging
team
and
the
idea
of
this
charging
team
would
be
to
look
at
cases
earlier
in
depth
before
they
get
very
far
into
the
criminal
justice
system.
One
of
the
things
is
we
are
aware
of:
is
the
impact
on
people
of
having
to
show
up
for
court.
You
know
loss
of
work,
finding
babysitters,
you
know
transportation.
C
Those
issues
and
the
idea
behind
this
is
that
if
we
can
have
charging
team
additional
charging
team
members,
we
can
look
at
these
cases
prior
to,
for
example,
first
appearance
or
even
pre-trials
to
try
and
minimize
the
number
of
trips
that
somebody
might
have
to
make
down
to
actually
evaluate
whether
this
is
a
case
that
we
should
be
moving
forward
with.
Is
it
a
case
that
should
be
diverted,
or
is
it
a
case
that
should
just
be
dismissed?
C
C
We
believe
that
this
will
have
a
significant
impact
to
on
our
communities
of
color
by
you
know
reducing
the
impacts
of
people
coming
down
to
court
when
it
may
not
be
necessary.
So
that's
our
primary
request
in
the
criminal
division.
C
Our
second
request
is
touches
both
criminal
and
civil
division,
so
this
is
three
ftes
ongoing
these
funds
that
partially
represent
remaining
values
from
frozen
salaries
in
2020
and
funding
of
three
repurposed
positions.
C
These
ftes
will
help
us
respond
to
the
mdhr
report,
and
those
positions
are
one:
is
an
assistant
city
attorney
in
the
criminal
division
that
would
be
defined
as
the
brady
attorney.
That
would
help
us
do
the
brady
work
in
a
faster
and
more
complete
manner.
Currently,
we
have
supervisors
that
are
doing
this
in
addition
to
their
supervisory
duties
by
having
an
additional
person
that
would
focus
full
solely
on
breeding
materials.
C
C
The
second
position
is
an
enterprise
information
management
analyst.
This
would
go
to
e-discovery.
This
would
a
person
would
cross
both
division
bounds,
but
not
surprisingly,
litigation
of
all
kinds,
whether
it's
criminal
or
civil,
has
become
more
complex.
There's
a
lot
more
electronic
data
that's
available
and
having
this
person
will
enhance
both
the
criminal
justice
portion
of
our
our
job,
as
well
as
the
civil
litigation
and
response
to
such
things
that
data
practices
request
in
the
third
position
is
an
assistant
city
attorney
two
for
the
civil
division.
C
This
person
would
primarily
be
used
to
address
whatever
arises
out
of
the
mdhr
reports
or
the
doj
reports
as
the
city
moves
forward
in
addressing
those
concerns
in
presentations.
I've
made
to
you
earlier
about
the
mdhr
report,
for
example,
and
and
consent
decreased
by
doj,
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
need
at
various
departments
in
the
city
to
staff
up
to
respond
to
the
obligations
imposed
by
those
settlement
agreements.
A
Our
city
attorney
will
now
stand
for
questions
so
to
ensure
that
all
council
members
have
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
q
a
I
can
just
put
yourself
in
queue
and
we'll
do
one
question
at
a
time
and
then
we'll
move
to
the
next
person
in
the
queue
and
you
can
get
back
in
queue.
If
you
have
another
question,
I
see
how
the
council,
member
ellison,
has
a
question.
E
Oh,
I've
got
two
and
now
I'm
debating
which
one
I,
which
one
I
should
go
with
well
the
first
question
I'll
I'll,
ask
and
then
I'll
I'll
get
myself
back
in
cues
back
on
the
the
slide,
the
civil
division
slide.
There
was
you,
you
sort
of
noted
yourself,
the
discrepancy
in
in
service
level,
so
civil,
sorry,
the
slide
before
this
one.
Do
you
know
what's
accounting
for
that
is
there?
Is
there?
Is
there?
Is
it
one
time
arpa?
E
Is
it
a
you
know,
or
you
know
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to.
You
know
get
that
clarified
because
it
was.
I
got
curious.
F
Certainly,
council,
the
the
discrepancy
is
that
there
was
a
one-time
funding
for
jones
day
last
year,
so
that
was
one
time
funding
request.
That
was
significant,
and
so
it
did
go
into
our
budget
to
cover
those
expenses.
And
so
it
looks
as
though
there's
more
of
a
fluctuation.
Those
are
the
real
numbers,
but
that's
what
that
accounts
for.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
apologies
for
being
late.
So
if
I
missed
this
discussion,
I
apologize
for
that,
but
I
know
that
we've
had
quite
a
lot
of
conversation
about
brady
materials,
and
I
know
that
part
of
that
conversation
was
around
our
systems
for
maintaining
braiding
materials.
And
so
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
speak
to
the
budgetary
impact
of
it
sounds
like
there
was
a
staff
need
to
manage
brady
materials,
but
there
also
seems
to
be
a
technology
need,
and
I
was
just
curious
if
there
was
more
specifics
around
the
need.
C
Need
is,
is
to
have
a
dedicated
person
to
do
the
brady
materials,
as
I
indicated,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
were
in
here
currently
a
lot
of
the
brady
work
is
done
by
supervisors
as
part
of
their.
You
know,
they've
squeezed
it
into
their
other
duties
and
there
would
be
a
benefit
to
have
a
person
that
would
be
dedicated
full-time
to
the
to
the
brady
issue.
I
Guess
what
we're
paying
so?
Yes,
we,
we
have
addressed
the
technology
issue.
We
have
a
solution
for
that
and
that's
being
worked
on
to
make
our
database
frankly
just
more
user
friendly
for
us,
so
we
make
sure
we
have
the
data
and
it's
accessible
with
this
dedicated
staff
person.
What
we'd
like
to
do
is
be
able
to
provide
the
brady
material
as
part
of
our
disclosures
earlier
in
the
process.
I
As
mr
ginder
said,
you
know,
a
lot
of
this
work
is
we're
trying
to
push
more
forward
at
earlier
in
in
the
process
of
someone
being
prosecuted
all
of
our
obligations.
You
know
we
certainly
disclose
at
trials
as
that's
our
obligation,
but
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
make
sure
that,
with
this
dedicated
staff,
now
working
both
a
paralegal
and
an
attorney,
we
can
make
those
brady
disclosures,
perhaps
at
the
pre-trial
and
our
hope
is
even
at
arraignment,
so
that
defense
and
individuals
representing
themselves
have
all
that
information,
so
they
can
make
informed
decisions.
I
So
that's
really.
The
focus
of
this
is
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
our
obligation,
which
we
are
but
pushing
it
much
more
earlier
in
the
system,
just
so
that
everyone
know
you
know
the
levels
of
playing
field.
Everyone
has
what
they
need,
so
we
can
make
sound
decisions
as
we
prosecute
our
cases.
E
My
question
was
related
to
brady,
and
so
I
feel
like
it
was
mostly
answered,
and
I
do
I
do
know
that
it's
come
up
as
a
as
a
point
of
critique
in
the
mdhr,
and
so
I'm
glad
to
see
us
making
those
investments.
I
do
have
a
bit
of
a
modified
question.
If
I
can
ask,
and-
and
maybe
it's
not-
maybe
it's
not
explicitly
budget
related,
but
it
might
be.
E
I
know
that
our
department
is
looking
at
looking
at
technologies
to
for
us
to
be
able
the
early
early
detection
system.
Sorry,
I
was
forgetting
the
technical
name
to
identify
when
officers
are
becoming
problems
earlier.
E
I
know
that
brady,
in
lay
terms,
is
fundamentally
there
to
help
identify
when
an
officer
might
become
a
bad
witness
and
sort
of
speaks
to
their
trustworthiness.
In
that
capacity,
is
there
any
sort
of
like
cross
department,
departmental
collaboration
between
the
investments
that
you
guys
are
making
in
in
this
person
who's
going
to
be
covering
brady
and
and
incorporating
that
in
some
way
into
the
early
detection
system
that
I
know
that
the
police
are
going
to
be
pursuing.
C
C
I
know
that
this
police
department
is
moving
forward
with
an
rfp
for
a
very
complex
early
warning
system
or
eis
system
early
intervention
system,
depending
on
the
term
people
use
that
will
pull
in
really
all
kinds
of
data
that
moves
towards
not
just
problems
but
tries
to
anticipate
problems,
looks
at
social,
mental
health,
family,
all
kinds
of
issues,
besides
work
issues,
and
I
suspect
in
that
rfp
that
there
will
be
some
touching
on
other
issues
that
come
to
the
attention
but
are
currently
we
always
move
forward
with
our
client
when
we
have
notice
of
things
that
would
be
in
dish
of
breeding
material
to
the
police
department
and
other
indicia
of
notice
problems
that
we
would
forward
that
on
a
routine
basis
to
the
police
department
and
hopefully
with
a
new
early
warning
system
or
eis,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
term
is
that
they're
using
right
now
that
that
would
be
incorporated
into
that
system.
C
E
A
All
right
now
we
have
cousin
member
rainville.
H
Thank
you,
man,
I'm
sure,
mr
ginder.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
being
proactive
in
this
budget
to
recognize
we'll
need
extra
staff
for
these
consent
degrees,
and
I
appreciate
you
looking
over
the
horizon
on
that.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
Thank
you
chair
and
just
as
a
final
comment
on
this,
you
know
our
goal
is
to
do
you
know
everything
that
we
do
is
to
do
more
than
just
meet
the
constitutional
requirements,
and
we
really
would
like
to
institute
best
practices
in
all
of
these
patterns
that
we
handle,
whether
it's
in
the
criminal
justice
system
or
in
the
civil
side,
moving
towards
the
best
practice,
so
that
you
know
we're
an
exemplar
on
how
a
municipal
government
should
move
forward
on
these
issues.
A
You
being
here
so
all
right.
Next
we
have
our
second
presentation
and
we'll
be
from
our
new
legislative
branch,
the
city
auditor's
office
and
the
city
clerk's
office.
I
will
invite
kate
redden
the
manager
of
administrative
services
for
the
clerk's
office
to
give
that
presentation.
Welcome,
miss
redden.
D
D
To
start
I'd
like
to
provide
a
bit
of
context
for
this
new
branch
of
the
city
government
in
november
2021
minneapolis
voters
proved
city
question
one.
Regarding
a
proposed
new
government
structure,
this
proposal
became
effective
december
3rd
2021
and
put
the
city
of
minneapolis
under
a
new
executive
mayor
legislative
council
system
of
government.
D
With
this
new
form
of
government,
we
essentially
see
three
major
components
to
the
legislative
department.
The
first
of
these
is
the
city
council,
which
ultimately
makes
the
laws
that
govern
the
city
and
represents
the
needs
of
the
individual
wards.
Their
roles
and
responsibilities
are
defined
in
the
city
charter
under
article
4..
D
D
This
division
also
provides
administrative
and
operational
support
to
the
entire
legislative
department.
The
city
clerk's
office
also
oversees
the
organization
of
records
and
information
assets
for
the
city.
Under
the
information
governance
division
and
we
also
administer
all
elections
for
the
city
through
the
elections,
voter
services
division.
D
They
are
legislative
policy,
analysis
and
performance
and
evaluation
and
we'll
get
into
those
proposals
a
bit
more
later
in
the
presentation
today,
the
work
of
the
city
auditor's
office
is
under
the
direct
supervision
of
the
newly
created
city
auditor
position.
Their
work
is
generally
defined
under
section
4.2
g
of
the
city
charter
and
is
under
the
direct
oversight
of
an
independent
body
known
as
the
audit
committee.
D
The
growth
that
you're,
seeing
reflected
on
this
screen
shows
only
the
salary
fringes
and
other
employment
benefits
for
these
positions
moving.
There
are
no
program
dollars
currently
being
proposed
to
enhance
this
work.
If
the
positions
move,
the
only
other
change
that
you
are
seeing
on
the
screen
is
the
creation
of
one
new
fte
position
for
the
new
city
auditor
position.
This
came
after
the
city
council
approved
its
budget
in
2022
lb,
reflected
start
in
2023.
D
And
finally,
the
elections
and
voter
services
division
has
14
fte
positions,
and
there
are
no
proposed
changes
to
this
in
the
mayor's
budget.
I
will
point
out
that
the
dramatic
changes
you
are
seeing
between
one
budget
year
to
the
next
on
the
screen
is
a
reflection
of
the
varied
needs
that
you
have
from
one
election
cycle
to
the
next.
D
So,
for
example,
what
you
would
expect
to
use
in
a
municipal
election
like
2021,
is
generally
going
to
be
a
lot
lower
than
what
you
would
expect
to
need
in
a
presidential
election
like
2020
and
2024,
when
voter
turnout
tends
to
be
at
its
highest.
This
will
be
something
we
get
into
more
later
in
the
presentation
at
this
time.
I
would
now
like
to
go
into
more
detail
regarding
what
the
mayor
is
proposing
and
funding
for
each
component
of
the
legislative
department
and
all
the
change
items.
D
First,
the
city
council
maximizes
access
to
municipal
government
oversees
city
performance
and
enables
informed
decision
making
for
community
governance,
the
13
members,
each
elected
from
a
separate
ward
work
collectively
and
in
partnership
with
the
mayor,
to
enact
local
laws,
public
policies
that
strengthen
and
preserve
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
of
the
community
as
an
extension
of
representational
duties.
Each
council
member
serves
on
outside
organizations,
associations
and
groups.
D
D
The
majority
of
this
funding
does
go
to
salary
and
wages
for
the
city,
council
and
the
ward
offices,
but
there
are
some
additional
funds
that
are
dedicated
to
shared
operational
expenses
for
the
city
council
offices
and
the
10
490
that
is
allocated
each
year
to
the
13
city
council
award
office
budgets.
I
will
share
that.
The
city
council's
currently
adopted
war
budget
guidelines
have
been
in
place
for
over
a
decade
and
seen
very
little
change
during
that
time,
and
they
do
provide
the
adopted
rules,
guidance
and
directions
for
how
these
funds
can
be
spent.
D
And
I
will
share
that.
The
mayor
is
currently
recommending
no
proposed
change
items
for
the
city
council
office.
So
at
this
time
I
would
now
like
to
invite
the
internal
audit
director
ryan
patrick
to
the
podium,
while
he's
making
his
way
up
here.
I
would
like
to
pause
for
any
immediate
questions
that
this
body
may
have.
D
H
D
J
Thank
you,
chair
koski,
council
members
of
the
budget
committee,
I'm
ryan,
patrick
I'm,
the
internal
audit
director,
not
the
city
auditor,
but
given
that
we're
covering
the
work
that
falls
under
what
is
currently
the
internal
audit
bucket,
makes
sense
for
me
to
come
up
and
present
some
of
that
information.
J
I
know
we
had
a
council
study
session
last
week,
so
some
of
the
information
was
discussed
there,
but
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
cover
it
again
in
brief
detail,
so
the
internal
audit
mission
and
goals,
that's
what
we're
focusing
on
for
this
slide
is
to
serve
the
city
and
the
public
interest
by
providing
objective
services
that
enhance
the
city's
ability
to
manage
risk,
improve
internal
controls,
optimize
efficiencies,
reduce
costs
and
and
accountability.
J
If
you
look
at
the
chart
off
to
the
right,
that
is
an
example
of
what,
under
the
new
legislative
department
city
auditor's
office,
this
this
new
branch
could
consist
of.
The
audit
committee
would
change
from
per
the
new
charter
requiring
more
appointed
members.
Rather
than
elected
members,
two
council,
four
appointed
one
park
board
directly
oversees
the
work
of
the
city
auditor,
the
current
internal
audit
staff
being
the
internal
audit
director.
That
is
me
currently
two
senior
auditors
and
two
internal
auditors.
J
J
Internal
audit
program
budget-
this
is
this-
is
our
current
core
services
is
not
anticipated
in
the
mayor's
budget.
To
change.
There's
a
slight
increase
de
minimis
increase.
The
rest
of
the
internal
audit
budget
would
remain
the
same.
Just
some
example:
projects
that
we've
worked
on
over
the
last
year
involved:
the
minneapolis
police
department,
field,
training,
officer
program,
mobile
device
management,
emergency
communications
systems,
architecture
and
we're
currently
working
on
hiring
and
promotions
in
internal
investigations.
Process
audits:
I'd
note
that
just
the
mobile
device
management
audit
led
to
the
deactivation
of
a
number
of
unused
cell
phones.
J
J
J
J
The
proposed
divisions
that
you
saw
in
in
other
slides
involve
legislative
policy
analysis
and
performance
and
evaluation.
There
are
two
divisions
within
legislative
and
fiscal
analysis.
Those
are
the
positions
that
we
discussed
at
the
study
session
last
week,
assisting
with
professional
nonpartisan
research
to
the
council
and
its
committees
taking
direction
from
the
council
in
kind
of
the
policy
formation
stage,
providing
research
back
performance
measurement
and
evaluation
will
administer
an
enterprise-wide
performance
management
program,
gather,
responsive
data
and
evaluate
enterprise
performance.
J
There
is
a
proposal
in
the
mayor's
budget
to
move
six
ftes
from
the
coordinator's
office,
one
manager
of
continuous
improvement.
That
is
not
an
opi
position,
but
has
been
detailed
to
internal
audit
for
the
past
year
to
help
work
on
some
of
the
macro
projects,
and
then
five
positions
filled
from
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation,
as
proposed
in
the
mayor's
budget.
G
G
I
think
that
what
was
highlighted
yesterday
was
some
of
the
our
capacity
constraints
to
make
that
transformation
to
a
new
performance
management
program,
and
I
think
that
I
mean
I
don't
know
that.
There's
a
question
for
you
probably
be
more
a
question
for
the
director
of
the
team,
but
I
think
we
as
a
council
as
we're.
Looking
at
the
staffing
needs
for
this
type
of
performance
data.
A
D
At
this
time,
we'll
now
move
on
to
the
city
clerk's
office
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
do
call
out
the
elections
division
as
a
separate
item,
so
that
leaves
two
divisions
in
the
city
clerk
budget.
The
first
of
these
is
legislative
support
and
administration,
which
facilitates
the
legislative
and
policy
making
process
for
the
city,
council
and
other
decision-making
bodies.
We
also
manage
administrative
services
and
internal
operations
for
the
larger
legislative
department.
D
Our
work
is
currently
divided
into
three
categories:
legislative
support,
department
operations
and
outreach
and
constituent
services.
The
other
division
is
information.
Government
governance
which
enables
the
city
to
create,
manage
and
dispose
of
information
through
policy,
consultation,
training
and
direct
services.
The
division
also
ensures
public
access
to
city
data
through
proactive
publication
partnerships
and
coordination
data
requests.
Their
work
is
primarily
divided
into
three
categories:
now:
records
and
information
management,
data
access
and
privacy
and
public
safety
information.
D
The
mayor
is
currently
proposing
a
total
2023
budget
of
7.6
million
dollars
and
2024
budget
of
7.8
million
dollars.
The
majority
of
this
growth
comes
from
the
transfer
of
up
to
five
positions
from
the
minneapolis
complete
excuse
me:
minneapolis
police
department
to
the
information
governance
division,
so
it's
just
moving
over
the
salary
wages
and
other
employment
benefits
for
these
positions.
D
The
only
other
noticeable
change
comes
from
allocation
model
changes
across
the
city
and
a
2024
change
item
which
we'll
get
into
in
a
moment
now.
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
that,
in
addition
to
the
new
mpd
positions,
we
did
make
the
decision
internally
to
transfer
some
of
our
positions
in
the
document
solution
center,
and
I
t
operations
from
one
division
to
the
other,
where
they
now
reside
in
legislative
support
and
administration
division.
D
We
do
this
primarily
for
two
reasons:
the
first
being
our
new
priority
and
focus
on
responding
to
public
safety
data
requests.
We
started
collaboration
with
the
minneapolis
police
department
in
2020
and
as
of
this
year,
with
these
new
positions,
we
now
have
sole
responsibility
for
these
cases,
which
more
than
doubles
our
workload
volume
for
data
practices
requests.
So
by
moving
these
programs
out
of
information,
governance
to
legislative
support
and
administration.
D
D
D
Now,
what
is
unique
about
the
funding
for
this
division
in
comparison
with
the
rest
of
the
legislative
department
is
that
they
typically
only
receive
a
smaller
core
budget.
The
core
services
budget
is
for
items
that
occur
regardless
of,
if
there's
an
election
or
not
so
things
that
basically
keep
the
lights
on
core
staff,
salaries,
rent
maintenance
for
our
equipment
and
a
few
other
items.
D
The
current
four-year
election
cycle
started
in
2020
with
the
presidential
election
and
was
followed
by
the
municipal
election
in
2021,
which
is
year
two
of
that
model.
We
are
currently
in
year
three
of
that
cycle
and
administering
the
2022
gubernatorial
election
and
with
indulgence
from
this
body.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
remind
everyone
that
early
voting
for
that
election
begins
in
just
nine
days.
D
Typically,
the
four-year
cycle
would
typically
next
be
followed
by
unscheduled
election
year,
which
is
typically
when
we
see
our
lowest
cost
because
we're
not
administering
any
elections.
So
again,
just
those
things
to
keep
the
lights
on
this
cycle
is
actually
being
interrupted.
In
2023
due
to
the
special
city
council,
only
election
that
we
will
be
administering-
and
this
means
we
will
not
have
our
next
true
unscheduled
year
until
2027.
D
D
Funding
from
this
change
item
will
generally
support
temporary
workers,
election
judges,
early
vote,
centers
ballot,
drop-off
locations,
supplies
and
equipment
for
137
election
day
voting
precincts
and
voter
outreach
efforts.
The
request
follows
our
previous
transfer
services
offered
in
municipal
elections,
and
it
will
essentially
achieve
our
statutory
required
duties
under
the
law.
D
The
second
change
item
for
the
elections:
division
is
4.7
million
dollars
in
one-time
funding
to
administer
the
2024
presidential
election.
This
will
include
three
separate
events:
a
presidential
nomination,
primary,
a
state
primary
and
a
presidential
general
election.
Wally's
events
are
already
scheduled.
I
think
it
is
important
for
this
committee
to
know
that
there
have
been
discussions
about
potentially
moving
up
the
prime
presidential
nomination
primary.
D
D
Now
I
think
it
will
come
as
no
surprise
to
this
body
to
hear
that
we're
fans
of
data
in
the
clerk's
office
in
the
larger
legislative
department
when
it
comes
to
election
administration.
So
when
I
hear
larger
numbers
like
multi-million
dollar
budgets,
I
like
to
break
things
down
for
a
little
more
detail.
D
The
chart
you're
seeing
on
the
screen
shows
what
the
high
level
estimates
will
get
from
the
budget
in
2023
and
2024,
and
it's
divided
based
off
of
each
of
the
election
events.
Now
these
data
points
don't
get
at
every
single
expense,
but
they
do
represent
some
of
the
largest
buckets
staffing
and
early
voting
operations.
D
Now,
if
you
remember,
elections
currently
only
has
14
fte
positions
that
are
fully
funded.
It
takes
hundreds
of
hands
day
in
and
day
out,
to
administer
each
election.
So
that's
where
we
really
rely
on
our
workforce.
The
people
that
we
hire
each
year
to
staff
the
early
vote,
centers
staff,
the
polls
and
all
the
other
programs
you
heard
about
early
voting
has
generally
been
an
area
of
preference
of
our
voters,
as
it
offers
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
how
you
cast
your
ballot.
D
It
really
expands
on
this
idea
of
meeting
voters
where
they're
at
the
other
number
I
will
emphasize
on
the
screen
is
the
previous
registered
voter
turnout
for
the
municipal
election
and
the
presidential
election.
We
generally
look
to
the
last
election
to
see
what
kind
of
turnout
we
could
expect
for
the
next
one.
Obviously,
it's
not
an
exact
science,
as
there
is
a
lot
that
goes
into
that,
such
as
the
candidates
on
the
ballot
potential
world
events
like
a
global
pandemic
or
ballot
questions,
but
it
helps
kind
of
frame
a
point
of
reference.
D
Overall,
our
plans
for
staff,
election
judges,
early
voting
sites
and
all
operations
really
follow.
The
trends
that
we
have
seen
in
recent
years
and
take
into
consideration
expected
voter
turnout.
Our
division
will
remain
diligent
in
continuing
to
review
and
modify
these
expectations
leading
up
to
each
event,
just
as
we
did
when
responding
to
the
cove
19
pandemic
in
2020
and
finally
I'll
share
a
final
reminder
until
march
2023.
D
D
D
Our
staff
has
been
pushed
to
innovate,
think
outside
the
box
and
really
produce
a
wonderful
outstanding
service
for
the
public
and
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
people
that
have
been
working
for
the
city
for
30
plus
years,
people
that
have
just
started
even
our
election
judges
that
work
for
just
one
day-
and
I
know
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
entire
leadership
team.
When
I
say
we
are
truly
grateful
for
their
work
and
everything
that
they
do
with
that.
I
would
like
to
thank
this
body
and
I'll
stand
for
any
final
questions.
A
Thank
you,
miss
redden,
and
I
appreciate
all
of
your
acknowledgements
and
letting
us
know
we
only
have
nine
days
until
voting
begins.
Let's
see
if
we
have
any
questions,
we
have
council
member
rainville.
H
D
Through
the
chair
to
council
member
rainville,
thank
you
for
that
question.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
a
strong
contingent
of
election
workers
that
come
back
year
after
year,
so
I'd
say
we
probably
have
a
base
of
about
1500
to
2000
people
that
are
going
to
come.
Regardless
of
what
election
is
on
the
ballot.
D
We
do
generally
have
areas
that
we
need
to
expand
on
and
we
really
do
prioritize
and
those
are
primarily
student
election
judges
as
the
as
they're
going
to
be
the
next
generation
to
take
over
and
those
with
language
skills,
as
we
really
want
our
polling
places
to
be
an
area
that's
open
to
everyone,
regardless
of
their
particular
needs.
In
terms
of
this
year's
election.
I
do
believe
we
are
making
our
numbers
other
than
those
areas
that
I
mentioned,
and
we
are
always
looking
forward
for
new
ways
to
engage
with
people.
K
Sorry,
I
wasn't
quick
enough.
Thank
you
for
that
great
presentation.
I
just
had
a
question
about
education
on
polling
places.
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that?
I
know
that
in
some
of
our
wards
you
know
because
of
redistricting
things
have
switched,
but
I'm
just
interested
in.
Have
you
what
kinds
of
education
or
who's
doing
that
to
provide
to
residents
if
they
have
a
new
polling
place
or
if
they
have,
if
they're
in
a
new
ward
or
district
or
whatever,.
D
Through
the
chair
to
council
member
vita,
that's
a
very
good
question
and
it
highlights
all
the
changes
that
are
happening
this
year
generally
anytime,
a
polling
place
changes.
We
do
work
with
our
partners
throughout
the
city
enterprise
to
identify
what
kind
of
extra
efforts
might
be
needed.
State
law
also
does
have
some
requirements
that
we
post
up
signage
in
the
old
polling
place
to
notify
voters.
There
is
also
a
notice
that
does
go
out.
I
am
not
sure
about
the
specific
timing,
but
that's
something
we
work
with
hennepin
county
on
to
have
go
out.
D
It's
a
little
postcard
that
shares
where
your
new
polling
place
will
be,
and
then,
finally,
every
year
we
do
send
out
a
voter
information
guide
and
any
changes
like
that
are
something
that
we're
going
to
highlight
and
starting
in
2020.
We
are
translating
that
voter
information
guide
to
other
languages
in
english.
Thank
you.

A
