deep
love
for

biked
over
one
summer
day,
to
give

She
was
a
true
inspiration
and

G
Her
work
in
cooperative
housing,
special

and
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
her
founding
of
the
neighborhood

network,
all
of
which
later
inspired
her

run,
to
represent

minneapolis
city,
council
and
whereas
astori
meade
was
elected

Her

and
whereas

gave

personal
attention
to

city
matter,
brought
to
her,
which
showed
the
never-ceasing
effort

wholeheartedly

Member

For

dory

was
admired
by
fellow
city
council

she
had
lifelong
friendships.
For
the
welcoming
environment,
she
created
the
unique
style
she
had

the
wisdom

whereas
asked
dory,

after
serving
as
council
member
to

continued
to
serve
the
city

minneapolis
through
leading

drafting
of
a
small
area
plan
for
nicolette
island
east
bank
neighborhood
and
through
guiding
the
falls
and
pinnacle
homeowners.
G
C
C
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
guess
at
my
age
I
never
thought
I
would
see
the
day
when
so
many
of
my
colleagues
would
pass
away,
and
it
is
it's
a
bit
alarming
and
unnerving.
To
be
honest,
I
worked
with
dorae
in
my
first
term
on
the
city,
council
and
everything
everyone
has
said
about
her
rings
very
true
to
me,
but
one
thing
that
hasn't
been
said
is
dorae.
Had
this
incredible
personal
sense
of
style
that
I
really
loved
and
admired.
I
She
moved
downtown
into
the
third
ward,
a
number
of
years
back,
primarily
because
she
wanted
to
be
closer
to
everything
going
on
and
also
her
and
her
husband
ron.
Our
big
were
big
bikers
they
had
one
of
those
two-person
bikes
and
they
would
take
them
all
over
the
country
and
the
world
on
bike
trips.
She
was
a
bike
advocate
well
before
it
was
popular
and
she
really
walked
the
talk
or
bike
to
the
bike.
I
As
it
would
be
said,
she
was
an
incredible
character
and
a
wonderful
leader
on
the
minneapolis
city
council,
like
so
many
of
us
and
those
before
us.
She
really
led
with
her
heart
and
she
will
be
very,
very
deeply
missed
and
I
I
feel
bad
a
lot
of
people
on
the
council
now
didn't
really
get
a
chance
to
know
her.
I
She
wasn't
political
really
in
the
years
following
her
retirement,
but
if
you
read
up
on
the
work
she
has
done
and
had
done
as
it
pertains
to
transportation
and
transportation
planning,
it
was
well
beyond
the
point
we
were
at
at
the
time.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
few
personal
reflections
about
dorae
because
she
meant
so
much
in
my
life.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
J
J
C
D
F
Resolution,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
am
I
wasn't
planning
to
read
this
today,
but
I'd
be
happy
to
my
apologies
as
it's
going
to
be
up
on
my
screen
a
little
above
the
camera
here.
So
it's
going
to
look
like
I'm
looking
up
into
the
sky,
this
resolution
honors
our
chief
mederia
eredando
for
his
service
and
dedication
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
F
As
a
patrol
officer
on
june
19
1989
and
during
his
tenure.
Our
chief
served
as
police
officer
sergeant,
lieutenant
inspector
commander,
deputy
chief
and
assistant
chief
and
chief
arredondo,
was
appointed
by
mayor
betsy
hodges
to
police
chief
on
august
22nd
2017
was
reappointed
to
police
chief
by
mayor
jacob
fryon
in
2019.
F
F
He
led
the
mpd
to
provide
safety
to
citizens
and
visitors
to
the
city
during
the
super
bowl
and
the
ncaa
final
four.
We
as
a
city
are
eternally
grateful
for
chief
aerodondo's
integrity
and
dedication
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
better
now
for
chief
aerodondo's
tenure
with
the
minneapolis
police
department.
F
So
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
do
hereby
in
recognition
of
his
significant
contributions
to
the
city
and
his
stewardship
of
our
police
department
present
this
resolution
to
the
chief
together
with
our
most
sincere
thanks
and
appreciation,
as
well
as
our
best
wishes
for
the
future.
I
understand
that
the
chief
might
be
online,
in
which
case
hello,
and
we
miss
you
already.
Chief.
C
You
have
just
been
an
outstanding
stellar
city
servant
and
your
contributions
will
never
go
unnoticed
and
will
always
be
deeply
appreciated,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service
chief.
I
I
do
miss
you
already.
We
have
been
friends
and
colleagues
for
the
better
part
of
20
years
now
and
it's
just
been
an
extraordinary
privilege
to
get
to
know
you
as
a
human
being
and
as
well
as
the
leader
of
the
minneapolis
police
department.
J
J
D
A
D
C
And
whereas
the
department
identifies
trendsetters
in
the
areas
of
business,
criminal,
justice,
education,
economic
development,
health,
philanthropy,
housing
and
government
and
define
them
as
history
makers
at
home
and
whereas
the
department
also
recognizes
the
kinship
of
the
work
of
trend,
setting
history
makers
to
those
who
are
legacy
trailblazers
and
whereas
to
support
and
foster
our
own
history
makers
at
home.
In
the
city
of
minneapolis
enterprise,
an
employee
resource
group
to
support
black
employees.
C
The
people
of
color
and
people
of
color
in
this
city,
and
whereas
the
city
council
in
2020,
adopted
a
resolution
establishing
the
truth
and
reconciliation
process
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
a
working
group
comprised
of
city
staff,
those
who
have
knowledge
of
reconciliation
and
healing
processes,
a
community
and
community
residents
studied
the
meaning
of
reconciliation
and
researched.
Different
models
of
truth
and
reconciliation
commissions
believed
to
be
the
first
of
its
kind
to
focus
on
healing,
with
both
historically
black
american
descendants
of
slavery
and
the
american
indian
communities.
C
The
work
of
this
body
will
help
create
a
truth
and
reconciliation
commission
to
begin
implementing
specific
solutions
to
the
specific
harms
that
created
and
perpetuate
racial
disparities
among
both
groups
and
each
year.
We
will
continue
to
highlight
dedicated
black
leaders
in
minneapolis
and
the
twin
cities
region,
and
we
celebrate
a
historic
first
for
minneapolis
this
year
with
six
black
city
council.
Members.
C
K
I
am
available,
madam
president,
and
members
of
the
city
council.
I
thank
you
sincerely
for
this
resolution.
I
find
black
history
month
and
this
time
of
the
year
to
be
an
exciting
time,
because
it's
a
time
that
we
have
set
aside
to
really
celebrate,
explore
and
learn
about
black
heritage
and
black
history.
K
Black
history
is
not
just
in
itself
in
a
vacuum,
but
it's
really
also
a
part
of
american
history,
and
so
in
that
way
I
think
it's
very
important.
Black
history
is
not
just
the
past,
but
it's
also
the
present,
as
evidenced
by
the
current
makeup
of
our
city
council
and
our
council
president,
all
historic.
First.
K
You
mentioned
that
we
have
six
new
black
or
six
black
city
council
members
and
seven
new
city
council
members,
and
so
you,
seven
new
city
council
members,
may
not
know
this.
But
last
year,
when
we
accepted
this
resolution,
I
issued
a
challenge
and
I
call
it
the
black
history
month
challenge
and
that
challenge
is
that
each
committee
head
or
committee
chair,
I
should
say,
begin
each
meeting
this
month
with
one
black
history
fact
from
that
particular
day.
K
So,
for
example,
on
this
day
in
black
history,
and
then
you
mention
at
least
one
black
history
fact
to
get
us
started.
I
looked
up
a
few
january.
27Th
is
actually
a
difficult
day.
I
had
to
dig
really
deep
for
these,
so
most
days
are
a
lot
easier,
but
on
this
day
in
black
history
in
1890,
canadian
boxer,
george
dixon
becomes
the
first
black
world
champion
when
he
stopped
english,
bantamweight
champ,
edwin,
nunk
wallace.
Remember
him
in
18
rounds
in
london,
england,
that's
when
they
that's.
K
When
fights
were
fights
in
1987
whitney
houston
became
the
first
female
singer
of
any
color
to
debut
to
debut
an
album
at
number.
One
on
the
billboard
chart
in
1988
mike
tyson
knocked
out
michael
spinks
in
91
seconds
to
retain
the
undisputed
heavyweight
crown.
I
remember
that
I
barely
had
time
to
build
my
tacos
before
it
happened.
I
almost
missed
it
in
1991
supreme
court
justice,
thurgood
marshall,
the
first
black
jurors
to
sit
on
the
nation's
highest
court,
announced
his
retirement.
K
He
was
replaced
by
the
second
black
jurist
to
sit
on
the
supreme
court
justice
clarence
thomas.
So
with
that,
I
just
want
to
really
thank
you
for
this
resolution.
We
have
a
lot
of
events
planned
in
partnership
with
hennepin
county
for
black
history
month,
and
I
hope
that
you
will
be
able
to
attend
those.
We
kick
it
off
tomorrow
and
then
we're
gonna
have
events
each
thursday
at
12
o'clock.
So
if
you
can
join
us,
please
do
and
thank
you
very
much.
C
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
You
know
for
me
on
a
personal
level
every
year
during
black
history
month,
I
use
it
as
a
time
of
reflection
and
I'm
not
just
reflecting
on
our
history,
but
I'm
also
always
wanting
to
focus
on
imagining
what
our
black
future
looks
like,
and
this
is
always
just
that
reminder
to
make
sure
that
I
am
recognizing
how
far
we've
come
and
how
far
we
still
need
to
go,
and
I'm
just
grateful
that
we
have
this
opportunity
to
have
that
moment
of
reflection.
L
And
then
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
comment
about,
and
then
I
didn't
realize
until
just
now
that
and
then
had
just
gotten
started
when
I
started
working
at
the
city
as
a
contractor-
and
I
remember
going
to
my
first
mbn
meeting
as
a
contractor.
Not
knowing
if
I
was
welcome,
is
not
a
technically
full-time
staff
person
and
it
was
one
of
the
most
welcoming
spaces
that
I've
ever
actually
occupied
professionally.
M
Thank
you
so
much
presidents
jenkins,
and
also
thank
you
so
much
chief
tyner,
for
you
know
your
contributions
as
well.
As
you
know
what
council
member
payne
shared
our
mbn
staff
who
made
this
resolution
possible?
You
know
I
the
fact
that
we
do
have
this
historical
moment
where
we
have
six
black
elected
leaders
of
so
many
sacrifices.
So
many
fights
so
many
you
know
violent.
You
know
interactions
with
the
state
to
make
moments
like
this
happen,
and
I
just
want
to
fully
give
credit
to
the
ancestors,
especially
black
ancestors.
M
I
can't
neglect
this
moment
without
amplifying
one
of
the
ancestors
who've
has
authorized
my
footsteps
and
getting
to
this
moment
and
being
able
to
make
transformative
change
on
the
behalf
of
not
just
working
class
people,
but
black
folks,
especially-
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
quote
that
guides
my
work
by
the
revolutionary
fred
hampton
who's,
also
a
chicago
native,
and
basically
I
think
this
quote
really
guides
the
work
of
our
council
as
well
in
in
any
public
servants.
That's
really
looking
to
make
true
racial
and
economic
change.
M
M
We
say
we're
not
going
to
fight
capitalism
with
black
capitalism,
but
we're
going
to
fight
it
with
socialism,
and
I
think
folks
might
have
different
opinions
about
socialism,
but
I
think
all
of
us
here
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
everyone
has
public
housing
or
the
housing
that
they
deserve
in
need.
Everyone
is
here
committed
to
making
sure
that
everyone
has
the
economic
means
to
take
care
of
themselves
and
their
families.
C
C
H
C
Wonderful
acknowledgement,
and
yes,
two
very
dear
friends
of
mine
and
mentors
and
colleagues
in
this
work
and
they're
still
putting
in
revolutionary
work
as
we
speak
today.
So
thank
you
for
that
recognition
and
I
hope
to
see
you
all
at
many
of
the
the
black
history
month,
celebrations
that
will
occur
over
the
next
few
weeks.
C
C
And
whereas
the
city
has
frequently
demonstrated
his
commitment
to
addressing
these
injustices,
passing
ordinances
to
raise
the
minimum
wage
to
15
per
hour,
providing
paid
sick
and
safe
time
to
low
wage
workers,
collecting
lost
wages,
providing
protection
to
adult,
entertainers
and
freelancers.
Establishing
the
navigation
center
to
provide
immediate
housing
for
the
unhoused.
C
One
research
indicated
seven
and
ten
black
employees
filed
for
unemployment
claims
during
the
coveted
19
pandemic,
compared
to
a
little
more
than
one
in
three
non-hispanic
white
employees,
some
of
whom
also
found
themselves
in
precarious
working
conditions,
making
them
very
vulnerable
to
exploitation
and
preyed
upon
by
traffickers
and
whereas
services
to
sexually
exploited
individuals
and
human
trafficking
victims
across
minneapolis
practically
doubled.
As
a
result
of
the
covet
pandemic.
C
All
of
these
further
underscore
the
existing
economic
and
social
societal
inequities
as
among
the
root
causes
of
human
trafficking,
and
whereas
the
city
acknowledges
the
disproportionate
impact
of
covet.
19
of
the
copen
19
pandemic
has
had
on
black
indigenous
latinx
communities
of
color
cultural
communities
and
those
identifying
as
lgbtqia
plus
and
has
invested
650
000
in
american
rescue
act
plan

So
during
this
order
of
business,
each
of
the
standing
committees
will
report
on
the
matters
that
have
been
referred
to
them
and
provide
their
recommendations
for
this
body's
consideration.
As
the
clerk
has
reminded
us,
committees
do
not
have
the
separate
or
independent
or
independent
power.
The
purposes
of
our
committees
is
to
help
develop.
We
find
and
then
offer
recommendations
on
matters
for
consideration
by
the
federal
council.
C
It
is
the
council,
as
the
city's
legislative
and
policy-making
body
that
has
the
final
decision-making
authority
standing
committee
reports
are
called
an
alphabetical
order
to
make
the
report
and
the
chair
offers
the
report
on
behalf
of
the
entire
committee.
Those
committee
reports
are
linked
to
the
agenda
and
available
to
the
public
through
through
our
limb
system,
because
reports
are
offered
by
the
entire
committee.
A
second

not
needed
to
any
of
those
recommendations
actually
offered
from
a
committee.
C
The
chair
moves
adoption
of
the
committee's
report
with
recommendations
on
behalf
of
the
committee.
If
any
kind
of,
if
any
council
member
wishes
to
have
an
item
separated
from
the
committee
report
for
further
discussion
or
amendment,
we
can
and
will
accommodate
that
request.
Otherwise,
we
will
act
on
the
entire
report.
As
each
committee
with
a
single

the
first

will
be
offered
by
our

Thank
you,
president
jenkins.
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
speak
on
item
13
urban
canopies
for
the
como
community
center.
I'm
just
so
excited
to
have
this
in
ward
2,
and
I
really
just
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
commend
the
residents
who
spent
a
number
of
years
developing
a
plan
to
preserve
this
beautiful
historic
building
and
develop
it
into
a
community
asset.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
and
really
just
amplify
how
we're
excited
to
have
this,
be.
You
know,
preserved
right
here
in
ward,
2.
E
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
really
quickly
to
item
number
three
and
offer
a
couple
of
comments.
So
item
number
three
was
was
regarding
a
property
on
2400
stevens
avenue,
which
is
in
the
heart
of
the
whittier
neighborhood
in
ward
10.,
and
you
know,
wanted
to
wanted
to
just
lift
up
and
thank
our
the
our
neighborhood
organization,
the
whittier
alliance,
who
did
extensive
community
outreach
regarding
this
property
and
the
use
of
building
a
women's
shelter
on
this
vacant
property
that
that
is
on
2400,
stevens
avenue.
E
So
just
really
want
to
thank
them
for
their
their
work
in
engaging
with
the
community
and
then
sending
a
letter
of
support
that
was
unanimously
approved
by
their
by
their
board
to
to
us,
and
then
you
know
want
to
just
lift
up
that.
This
is
something
that's
that's
really
important,
because
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
open
up
the
shelter
quickly
because
we
use
infrastructure
that
that
already
exists
in
the
area.
E
E
We
all
know
that
homelessness
is
a
very
complicated
issue
and
I'm
really
proud
to
live
in
and
and
represent
a
community
where
we
take
seriously
our
responsibility
as
active
participants
in
addressing
a
really
complicated
issue
by
opening
up
and
welcoming
in
our
neighborhood
shelter
that
that
is
specific
to
a
group
of
people
and
in
our
commitment
to
making
sure
that
every
person
deserves
deserves
dignified
housing.
So
that's
all
I've
got.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
wanted
to
just
make
some
comments
on
item
number
11,
this
historic
designation
of
fire
station
24
and
first
I
want
to
say
thank
you,
madam
president,
for
your
continued
ongoing
early,
steady
support
throughout
this
process
as
a
partner
in
this
effort.
There's
so
many
people
to
thank
around
this
from
judge
lejeune
lange
who
has
really
been
a
champion
around
this
designation.
O
My
colleagues
on
the
committee,
the
planning
commission,
the
property
owner
and
everybody
who's
been
a
part
of
this
process.
So
ward
12
has
quite
an
extensive
remarkable
black
history
of
contributions
from
black
community
members
from
black
city
employees,
and
this
is
yet
another
opportunity
to
honor
that
history
and
I'm
really
proud
of
this
moment,
especially
thinking
about
our
resolution
earlier
that
we're
taking
this
time
to
do
this.
O
O
O
We
are
going
to
rightfully
remove
that
name
from
being
honored
in
our
city
and
instead
lift
up.
The
name
of
john
cheatham
was
arguably
or
likely,
the
first
black
firefighter
in
our
city
and
the
first
black
fire
captain
in
our
service,
who
is
really
deserving
of
that
honor
and
faced
tremendous
hardship
and
racism
and
hates,
despite
his
generosity
and
compassion
towards
the
people
of
our
city
and
all
this
contributions
and
service.
So
thank
you
again
for
everyone
involved
in
this.
C
I
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
want
to
concur
with
my
colleagues
comments
about
the
very
important
items
in
their
award
and
also
offer
a
moment
of
thanks
to
my
constituent,
judge,
lejeune
lang,
who
has
really
made
the
changes
that
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
the
designation
of
fire
station
24
possible,
and
I
commend
her
incredible
work
on
this.
I
actually
signed
up
to
speak
on
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
I
It
often
goes
overlooked
by
members
of
the
council,
but
it
is
not
overlooked
by
the
dozens
of
developers
and
non-profit
community
development
partners
that
we
are
working
with
today
that
we're
allocating
16.7
million
dollars
to
assist
in
financing
over
750
units
of
affordable
housing
in
our
city,
with
a
majority
of
them
being
for
people
who
are
at
30
percent
or
lower
of
the
area
median
income.
We
have
the
good
fortune
to
partner
with
an
incredible
non-profit
and
for-profit
community
committed
to
adding
housing
to
our
community.
For
those
who
are
most
in
need.
I
There
are
a
number
of
wonderful
projects
that
are
being
funded
as
a
result
of
this
and
as
the
result
of
the
allocation
of
nine
percent
tax
credits.
A
very
important
partnership
is
emerging
with
cavalry
lutheran
church
to
build
affordable
housing
right
in
the
shadow
of
george
floyd
square.
Today
we
take
an
action
that
culminates
in
a
year's
worth
of
work
by
our
staff,
combined
with
years
of
work
by
the
non-profit
and
for-profit
partners
who
are
working
on
these
and
critical
projects.
I
I
I
want
to
thank
the
council
members
who
have
worked
so
hard
on
these
projects,
advocating
for
them
to
happen
in
the
awards
that
they
represent
most
especially
council
member
ellison,
who
has
three
of
these
projects
in
his
ward
that
I
share
a
border
with
and
has
welcomed
with
open
arms.
These
kinds
of
projects
that
are
so
important
to
our
community.
I
The
one
project
in
the
queue
in
the
seventh
ward
did
not
get
funded
in
this
cycle,
and
what
that
says
is
there
are
probably
a
half
a
dozen
or
a
dozen
other
very
worthy
projects
coming
through
the
pipeline
in
the
2023
cycle.
I
look
forward
to
collaborating
with
all
of
you
and
our
professional
staff
on
moving
these
items
forward,
as
we
continue
to
do
our
part
to
finance
truly
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
C
Thank
you
so
much
council,
member,
good
man
and
I
put
myself
in
queue
to
to
speak
to
that
item
as
well,
certainly
am
thrilled
about
the
the
fire
station
and
our
continued
recognition
of
living
and
past
black
history,
as
well
as
all
of
the
other
items
that
have
been
highlighted
on
this
agenda,
which
was
is
a
very
exciting
report
that
you're
bringing
forward
today.
Councilwoman
goodman
so
really
excited
to
to
vote
in
the
affirmative
on
this.
C
One
of
those
one
of
those
items
was
affordable
housing
and
we
are
able
to
now
bring
that
project
to
fruition.
In
ward
8-
and
so
I
do
want
to
just
and
both
of
those
projects
had
tremendous
community
engagement
and
support,
I
participated
in
in
each
of
those.
You
know
highlighting
champion
supporting
those
those
projects
and
those
efforts.
I
think
you
know,
as
we
reopen
nikola,
which
is
gonna,
be
a
very
exciting
project.
C
Acknowledging
recognizing
and
supporting
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
community
members
and
not
in
a
way
that
sets
them
apart
from
our
community
but
actually
includes
them
in
the
heart
of
our
redevelopment
efforts,
our
reopening
efforts
and
our
revitalization
efforts,
and
so
I'm
just
really
thrilled
to
vote
for
this
committee's
recommendations
today
and
encourage
all
my
other
colleagues
to
to
vote
in
support
of
this
as
well.
And
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
world
council.
G
H
H
G
F
C
That
carries
and
that
report
is
adopted,
but
I
think
if
we
were
in
council
chambers,
there
would
actually
be
a
round
of
applause
for
this
this
agenda,
but
we
are
still
in
a
virtual
world
right
now.
Our
next
report
is
from
our
committee
of
the
whole,
which
will
be
presented
by
the
chair.
Vice
president
palmisano.
F
L
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
wanted
to
speak
on
item
number
three,
the
expired
ordinances
and
make
a
motion
to
bring
forward
the
small
and
underutilized
business
program
applicability
to
contract
amendment
ordinances.
Item
number
16
within
that
document,
as
a
co-author
with
president
jenkins
and
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
join
council
vice
president
palmisano.
As
a
co-author
on
the
item,
number
22
surveillance
ordinance
by
fletcher
has
two
items.
D
M
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I'm
speaking
in
regards
to
item
number
one
on
rules.
A
key
piece
of
this
particular
rule
setting
was
pushing
for
a
new
standardized
process
around
creating
work
groups,
and
I
am
supportive
of
that.
I
believe
that
it
will
help
bring
more
working-class
people
into
the
process
by
clarifying
and
making
it
more
transparent
and
it
referring
to
these
work
groups.
M
But
we
should
also
be
clear
because
one
of
these
work
groups
cover
a
particular
issue
and
we
should
be
clear
that
rent
control
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
key
issues
that
this
council
takes
up
and
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
discussion
around
creating
a
rent
control
work
group
which
is
part
of
what
led
to
the
creation
of
the
standardized
process
overall,
and
I'm
excited
about
that.
But
I
also
want
to
go
on
record
now
that
you
know,
based
on
the
provisions
that's
going
to
pass
today.
M
So
I'm
excited
to
work
with
my
colleagues
to
move
forward
with
a
rent
control.
You
know
with
rent
control
and
passing
a
strong
policy
through
relevant
channels,
and
I
again
want
to
go
on
record.
I
do
not
believe
that
the
rent
control
work
group
is
necessarily
the
most
effective
channel
for
that,
but
I
am
excited
to
go
in
favor
of
the
standardized
work
group
process
today.
So
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
record
and
thank
you.
N
G
A
H
B
F
C
P
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
has
seven
items
to
bring
before
the
council
today.
Item
number
one
is
a
contract
contract
with
health
equity
inc
for
health
reimbursement
arrangements.
Item
number:
two:
is
the
non-represented
employee
salary
schedule.
Item
number
three:
is
the
politically
appointed
employee
salary
schedule?
P
Item
number:
five
is
a
contract
with
friends
for
the
falls
for
negotiation
of
a
potential
acquisition
of
the
property
of
the
property
adjacent
to
the
upper
st
anthony,
lock
and
dam
item
number
six
is
a
grant
from
the
minneapolis
downtown
improvement
district
to
fund
downtown
strategic
justice,
partnership
and
item
number.
Seven
is
a
legal
settlement
workers
compensation
claim
and
with
that
I
will
move
approval
of
the
committee
report.
D
M
M
That
proves
that
this
initiative
is
actually
helping
connect
people
to
the
needed
services
that
we
know
many
unhoused
residents
really
need,
but
also
needing
more
data
to
see
how
this
initiative
has
helped
to
reduce
its
participants
overall
contact
with
the
criminal
justice
system,
I
mean
moving
us
and
how
does
it
help
move
us
away
from
criminalizing
homeless
individuals
or
unhoused
neighbors?
So
I
wanted
to
put
that
on
public
record
today.
C
P
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
I'll
be
voting
for
the
entire
agenda,
but
just
wanted
to
affirm
that
a
lot
of
members
of
the
of
the
committee
had
some
questions
about
this
item.
I
think
that
you
know
I
plan
on
doing
some
follow-up
with
the
attorney's
office
and
and
and
possibly
even
the
did
just
to
get
a
just
to
get
a
sense
of
you
know
what
what
are
the
kind
of
returns
that
we're
getting
from
from
this
partnership?
N
Council
president
yeah,
I
just
want
to
share
my
similar
concerns,
while
I'll
be
supporting
this
today,
we
do
have
meetings
scheduled
next
week
to
follow
more
on
the
data
that
this
does
not
continue
to
criminalize
our
youth
and
data
that
this
project
will
prevent
youth
from
being
in
sent
into
the
criminal
justice
system
so
I'll
be
supporting
this
today.
But
I
do
have
my
concerns
and
I
look
forward
to
my
meeting
next
week
in
regards
to
this.

L
L
Since
this
came
on
to
our
agenda,
where
I
have
gotten
some
assurances
from
our
police
department
that
you
know
our
precinct,
inspectors
really
do
get
to
control
those
resources,
but
I
want
to
get
down
to
the
root
cause
of
this
from
a
policy
perspective.
If
our,
if
our
precinct
inspectors
need
more
flexibility,
if
they
need
the
capacity
to
bring
officers
online
via
overtime,
I
think
we
should
be
addressing
it
through
that
and
staffing
and
doing
a
deeper
analysis
of
staffing.
L
I
just
feel
really
uncomfortable
with
having
this
as
a
standard
approach
of
using
private
money
to
influence
our
public
safety
apparatus,
but
I'm
going
to
end
up
supporting
this
today,
because
this
is
a
contract
that
was
already
in
motion.
I
know
how
hard
it
is
to
navigate
our
contracting
obligations
at
the
city,
as,
as
you
know,
anyone
who
wants
to
contract
with
the
city.
L
I
want
to
actually
take
this
as
an
opportunity
to
put
on
the
public
record
that
we
should
be
looking
at
this
policy
more
deeply
and
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
Deep
analysis
before
seeing
another
one
of
these
contracts
come
before
us.
So
I
just
wanted
to
gonna
vote
yes
on
this,
but
I
vote
yes
with
hesitation
and
with
a
call
to
action
to
do
a
deeper
analysis
of
our
staffing
levels
and
how
we
bring
in
those
outside
dollars
to
inform
our
public
safety.
M
N
Hi,
I
also
just
want
to
stay
for
the
public
record
while
I'll
be
supporting
this
motion
today.
I
do
have
concerns
of
doing
this
moving
forward.
I
would
like
to
see
more
data
in
regards
to
how
this
can
keep
communities
safe.
I
also
do
want
to
state
my
concerns
that
richer
neighborhoods
can
have
access
to
police
department
resources
when
a
lot
of
our
neighborhoods
are
struggling
with
safety.
N
So
it's
an
equity
issue
for
me,
along
with
the
conversation
of
police
shortages
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
knowing
that,
with
this
conversation
happening
that
we
are
still
sending
out
police
resources
to
give
neighborhoods
that
have
more
money
than
poorer
neighborhoods
here
in
the
state
of
minneapolis,
so
I'll
be
supporting
this.
But
I
have
my
concerns.
Moving
forward
and
council
member
payne
I'd
love
to
work
with
you
on
this
issue
as
well.
G
H
I
M
E
E
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
council
member
chuck
thai's
comments
about
this
concept
of
privatization,
and
you
know
analogy
I
was
thinking
about
as
I
was
going
through,
this
decision
was:
do
we
have
a
similar
program
for
filling
in
potholes?
Do
we
have
a
similar
program
for
plowing
streets?
L
G
H
B
I
C
O
Madam
president,
the
public
works
infrastructure
committee
brings
forward
eight
items
today.
The
first
is
project
project
designation
for
the
2022
street
resurfacing
program.
The
second
is
a
contract
amendment
for
mattress
collection,
recycling
services.
The
third
is
a
contract
amendment
for
the
johnson
street
northeast
reconstruction
project.
The
fourth
is
a
contract
amendment
for
rental
of
additional
traffic
control
devices.
The
fifth
is
a
contract
amendment
for
cleaning
and
landing
of
water
mains.
The
sixth
is
a
bid
for
cured
and
placed
pipe
materials.
O
B
G
H
I
C
This
section
of
the
agenda
is
for
initial
notice
of
the
intent
by
one
or
more
council
members
to
bring
forward
an
ordinance,
as
required
under
our
charter
and
city
council
rules.
Each
ordinance
follows
a
very
detailed
process.
The
process
begins
with
the
notice
of
introduction,
which
is
always
made
at
a
meeting
of
the
full
council.
C
This
morning
we
have
one
such
notice
to
make,
and
that
is
the
short-term
rentals
ordinance
is
reflected
on
the
agenda
council
member
osman
gives
notice
of
his
intent
to
introduce,
at
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
federal
council,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
housing
maintenance
code
to
amend
certain
provisions
found
in
chapter
244
related
to
short-term
rental
dwelling
units.
That
notice
is
hereby
given.
No
further
action
is
required
at
this
time,
and
the
next
order
of
business
is
our
resolutions.
There
were
a
total
of
four
resolutions
before
us
today.
C
We've
already
had
the
formal
presentations
of
these
items
at
the
beginning
of
our
meeting,
and
at
this
time
I
will
ask
if
there
are
any
final
comments
on
the
honorary
resolutions
and
if,
before
I
take
comments
from
my
colleagues,
I
would
note
that
I
made
a
confusing
statement
about
tomorrow's
black
history
month.
Events.
They
will
all
be
virtual.
C
B
H
G
C
C
This
is
not
common
for
us,
but
this
order
allows
for
the
consideration
of
matters
that
have
returned
for
this
body's
further
consideration
and
action.
Today
we
have
three
such
items
on
the
agenda.
They
all
pertain
to
the
conditional
use
permit
for
multiple
sites
on
property
generally
located
in
the
4900
block
of
france
avenue
south
these
matters
were
held
over
from
the
last
term
and
are
subject
to
timelines
dictated
by
state
statute.
I'll,
ask
council,
member
goodman
to
provide
context
for
the
body
and
then
offer
any
motion
related
to
these
three
items.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
first
move
all
three
items
and
then
give
you
a
sl,
a
short
explanation:
the
50,
the
france
50
project
is
a
five-story
mixed
use,
building
with
45
dwelling
units
and
some
commercial
located
essentially
on
the
4900
block
of
france.
There's
three
actions
before
us
today.
I
The
the
last
item
has
to
do
with
the
rezoning.
We
extended
the
60-day
review
period
by
an
additional
60
days
from
december
6
to
february
4th
2022.
But
on
december
1st
we
received
a
citizen
petition
requesting
an
eaw
for
the
france
project,
and
the
city
council
approved
the
determination
that
an
eaw
was
not
required
at
its
regular
meeting
on
december
10th.
So
the
citizen
petition
paused
the
60-day
clock
for
the
land
used.
I
Application,
therefore,
were
required
now
to
act
on
the
appeals
and
rezoning
applications,
and
if
we
don't,
they
will
be
deemed
approved
all
of
those
appeals,
and
so
it's
important
for
us
to
conduct
the
business
based
on
the
state
law
as
it
pertains
to
the
60-day
rule
in
this
meeting,
which
is
why
we
haven't
sent
it
back
to
committee.
I
will
note
it
was
a
previous
group
of
city
council
members
on
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
and
the
decision
of
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
at
that
time
on
these
motions
was
unanimous.
Q
B
H
I
F
C
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
As
this
body
is
aware,
since
march
16th
of
2020,
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
been
operating
under
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency
tied
to
coven,
and
that
emergency
was
extended
at
the
organizational
meeting
in
january
this
year
by
the
body.
In
addition
to
the
overall
emergency
declaration,
the
mayor
has
the
authority,
both
under
state
statute
and
local
codes,
to
issue
emergency
regulations
from
time
to
time
prescribing
certain
actions
that
must
be
or
cannot
be
taken.
D
The
mayor
has
issued
a
number
of
those
each
one
of
those
is
brought
before
this
body
for
its
action
to
ratify
and
extend
those
emergency
regulations
throughout
the
term
of
the
declared
emergency
period.
Since
our
organizational
merit
meeting,
the
mayor
has
issued
two
additional
emergency
regulations.
C
O
You,
madam
president,
I
had
asked
for
some
information
on
the
data
used
to
make
this
decision.
I
frankly
have
had
a
bit
of
a
challenge
with
scheduling
connecting
with
the
right
people
to
get
a
full
understanding
of
that
information.
So
at
this
point
I'm
gonna
abstain
on
this
item,
but
just
wanted
to
mention
that
for
the
record,
thank
you.
A
G
H
B
F
C
Next
we
have
announcements,
and
I
do
want
to
note
that
we
have
a
closed
session
today,
so
I
would
move
the
order
of
announcements
first
so
that
we
can
dispense
with
any
announcers.
Before
closing
the
meeting
so
see,
we
have
a
few
announcements.
Council
members
chavez
followed
by
councilmember
johnson.
N
Thanks,
council
president,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
knew
for
those
watching
at
home,
and
our
fellow
councilmembers
here
that
tomorrow
january,
28th
and
9pm
is
a
deadline
to
apply
for
the
rent
and
help
from
the
state
of
minnesota.
So
if
you
or
your
loved
one
or
your
neighbor
is
experiencing
hardship
due
to
this
pandemic
and
need
assistance
to
pay
your
rent
or
utility
bills,
you
can
be
eligible
for
covert
19,
emergency
rental
assistance
and
you
can
apply
online
at
rent,
help,
dot,
dot,
sorry,
renthelpmn.org
and
again.
N
O
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Well,
the
pandemic
has
disrupted
our
lives
in
many
ways,
both
big
and
small,
but
one
of
the
pieces
that
I
personally
miss
about
these
virtual
meetings,
even
though,
by
the
way
for
the
public
watching
most
council
members
are
back
in
the
office,
but
these
meetings
still
end
up
happening
virtually
at
this
point
due
to
the
declared
state
of
emergency.
O
C
E
E
In
regards
to
the
nomination
of
our
public
of
a
public
works
director,
we
are
experiencing
a
new
version
of
what
these,
what
what
the
proper
confirmation
process
or
the
confirmation
process
of
a
department
head,
looks
like,
and
this
is
our
first.
This
is
our
very
first
one
and
so
for
anyone
watching
along.
You
know
I
would
just
encourage.
I
would
just
encourage
folks
to
either
direct
questions
that
they
might
have
in
regards
to
this.
E
E
C
Any
further
announcements
I
I
guess
I
will
reiterate
that
all
black
history
months
celebrations
will
be
virtual,
not
in
the
rotunda
in
city
hall.
So
I
know
there
were
some
questions
about
that.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
don't
make
the
trek
down
to
the
city
hall,
anticipating
a
live
event.
Everything
will
be
virtual.
C
C
Q
Thank
you,
president
jenkins.
As
you
noted,
the
next
items
on
the
agenda
are
the
cases
of
tony
webster
versus
the
minneapolis
police
department,
city
of
minneapolis
and
kathy
joe
call
in
his
official
capacity
as
statutory
responsible
authority
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
the
minneapolis
police
department,
as
well
as
the
case
of
barrie
at
all
versus
the
city
of
minneapolis.
At
all,
these
cases
are
in
active
litigation
in
federal
court
and
your
lawyers
wish
to
discuss
with
the
council
litigation
strategy
and
or
settlement
possibilities.
C
Thank
you,
city
attorney,
router,
and
with
that
I
will
move
that
our
meeting
be
closed
as
authorized
under
the
provisions
of
the
open
meeting
law,
specifically
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d,
.05,
subdivision
3b
for
the
purpose
of
discussing
litigation
matters
with
the
city
attorney.
I
have
a
second.
B
H
F
F
C
That
carries,
and
we
will
now
close
the
public
portion
of
our
meeting
and
convene
in
closed
session
for
the
viewing
public.
I
will
note
that
the
broadcast
of
this
meeting
will
continue
and
the
council
will
reconvene
in
public
after
we
have
concluded
the
closed
session.
For
my
colleagues,
please
use
the
separate
link
for
the
closed
session
to
join
that
part
of
the
meeting.
Thank
you.
D
C
D
C
I
C
G
D
I
C
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourn,
but
before
I
do,
I
just
want
to
say
that
every
day
is
black
history
day
in
america,
and
but
certainly
we
recognize
that
february
is
the
month
that
all
americans
can
revel
and
celebrate
in
the
contributions
of
african
americans
to
this
country.
Thank
you.
Everyone
have
a
great
weekend.
I
hope
everybody
can
get
some
sustenance
to
sustain
their
their
minds,
their
bodies
and
their
spirits.
After
this
very
long
marathon
meeting
take
care.
Everyone.
