the
mayor's

The
budget
committee,
under
the
leadership
of
council
member
Koski,
conducted
a
public
hearing
at
its
first
meeting
on
November
10th
and
the
Bull
City
Council
conducted
a
second
public
hearing
on
November
15th.
A
Tonight's
hearing
provides
the
community
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
that
proposed
budget
in
part
based
on
information
that
was
included
in
the
property
tax
notices
from
Hennepin
County,
as
well
as
information
that
has
been
made
available
by
the
city
this
past
week,
the
budget
committee
conducted
a
markup
of
the
mayor's
budget
proposal.
A
total
of
25
amendments,
including
a
series
of
technical
amendments,
were
approved
during
the
markup
session.
A
A
So
if
you
haven't
already
done
so,
and
you
do
plan
to
speak
as
a
part
of
tonight's
public
hearing
I
invite
you
to
step
over
to
the
clerk
and
and
or
outside
and
register.
Now
before
we
open
the
floor
to
comments,
I
will
recognize
our
budget
director
Amelia
Krueger,
who
will
provide
a
brief
summary
of
the
proposed
budget.
Miss
Cooper.
I
Thank
you,
president
Jenkins
and
council
members.
I
am
going
to
ground
Us
in
what
we're
here
to
discuss
tonight
before
we
start
hearing
from
the
public,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
budget
process
and
the
city
spending
and
revenue
changes
that
were
part
of
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
first
thing
I
just
want
to
discuss
is
what
is
the
budget
made
up
of
as
a
whole
that
we're
here
to
discuss
so
there's
three
main
components?
The
first
is
what
services
and
outcomes
does
the
city
and
its
departments
provide
to
residents?
I
That
is
the
program
narrative
section
of
our
budget
book.
So
when
you're
looking
at
the
documents
we
release
about
our
budget
for
2023
and
2024
plan
you're
going
to
see
program
narratives,
describing
each
bit
of
work
that
the
city
does
and
the
services
provided
to
Residents.
The
next
section
is
change
item
narratives,
so
where
the
mayor's
budget
and
where
the
adopted
budget.
I
The
last
piece
is:
how
are
we
planning
into
the
future,
so
our
five-year
Financial
Direction
lays
out
our
planned
Levy
increases
spending
and
revenues
for
the
next
five
years
so
that
we
can
be
really
transparent
about
what
is
our
future
look
like
aside
from
just
the
budget
year
that
we're
here
to
amend
and
adopt
tonight
budget
process?
So
we
we
kick
this
off
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
January
through
March
is
when
the
budget
team
will
start
putting
together
what
we
call
the
current
service
level
budget.
I
This
takes
the
people
and
program
that
were
adopted
last
year
and
pushes
them
into
the
budget
year.
Most
of
that
funding
is
static,
stays
the
same,
but
we
do
inflate
for
things
like
health
care
costs,
Personnel
increases
and
some
other
inflationary
costs,
then
that
moves
to
decision
making
with
the
mayor
over
the
summer
deliberating
proposals
that
come
from
City
departments.
I
The
mayor
makes
decisions
and
proposes
his
Budget
on
August
15th,
that
is
in
our
City's
Charter.
Then
we
move
into
budget
hearings
where
each
department
will
present
a
deep
dive
of
their
proposed
budget,
including
any
new
changes
to
city
council
and
at
the
end
of
September,
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
will
meet
and
set
the
maximum
Levy.
So
at
that
point
the
city
council,
through
amendments
to
the
budget,
could
decrease
the
levy,
but
they
can't
make
increases
to
it
above
what
is
adopted
by
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation.
I
After
that
they're,
the
city
council
continues
its
work
hearing
from
budget
from
department
heads
they
deliberate
and
make
their
own
amendments
to
the
budget.
They
hear
from
the
public.
The
two
earlier
hearings,
as
mentioned
by
council
president
on
November
10th
and
the
15th,
and
then
amendments
are
made
by
city
council
and
that
meeting
happened
last
week
on
December,
1st
and
2nd
December
1st.
We
got
it
all
done
in
one
day.
I
I
I
New
spending
in
that
proposed
budget
falls
into
the
following
categories
that
you
can
see
on
the
slide:
City
capacity
and
performance,
Public,
Safety,
affordable
housing,
climate
and
public
health
and
economic
inclusion.
So
all
of
the
recommendations
made
by
the
mayor
and
then
amended
by
Council
will
be
available
in
all
of
our
budget
documents
broken
into
those
goal,
areas
on
the
revenue
side
of
things.
I
This
also
includes
a
plan
for
1.71
billion
in
revenues,
looking
ahead
into
2024,
which
includes
about
1.65
billion
in
new
revenues
and
60
million
dollars
worth
of
planned
use
of
fund
balance,
the
property
tax
levy,
so
the
property
tax
levy
is
the
largest
single
source
of
Revenue
that
comes
into
the
general
fund.
The
mayor's
recommendation
included
a
6.5
increase
in
the
property
tax
levy
in
2023
and
a
planned
6.2
percent
increase
in
2024.
I
property
taxes.
How
each
individual
property
owner
feels
this
increase
depends
on
a
lot
of
different
factors.
So
the
in
2022
moving
into
2023,
we
saw
a
strong
increase
in
the
values
of
residential
property
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
and
we
saw
a
leveling
out
or
slight
decline
in
commercial
properties.
So
this
leads
to
a
slight
shift
from
commercial
on
to
residential
property
owners
and
underlying
Dynamics
like
that,
are
what
lead
to.
I
I
If
you
want
more
information
about
how
the
proposed
Levy
impacts,
different
kinds
of
properties
and
property
owners
in
different
parts
of
the
city,
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
the
levy
impact
estimator
available
on
our
City's
website.
The
city
assessor's
office
has
put
that
together.
That
is
a
tool
that
you
can
use
to
understand
how
that
6.5
Levy
is
felt
by
different
Property
Owners
across
the
city,
and
that
is
a
picture
of
what
it
looks
like.
I
So
one
final
note:
we
are
moving.
We
are
preparing
a
two-year
budget,
so
that
means
in
the
budget
documents
before
Council
in
the
presentations
that
we've
heard
from
departments
you've
heard
about
the
2023
proposed
budget,
as
well
as
a
plan
for
2024..
The
2023
amounts
will
be
appropriated
by
Council
and
signed
into
the
mayor.
That's
what
tonight's
proceedings
are
about.
The
2024
amounts
are
planned
and
will
be
the
basis
for
the
2024
budget
process
because
of
this
presented
plan.
I
Next
year's
process
will
be
brief,
enabling
departments
to
do
a
deeper
dive
on
things
like
Service
delivery
management
and
the
supplemental
budget
process
will
focus
on
reforcasting
our
revenues
with
the
best
information
we
have,
as
well
as
addressing
any
new
must-do
spending
items.
The
next
two-year
budget
cycle
will
begin
in
2024
and
we'll
cover
25
and
26..
A
A
A
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
will
be
taking
speakers
in
the
order
that
they
are
registered.
If
you
would
like
to
testify,
I
invite
you
to
register
your
name
with
the
clerks
at
the
table
outside
in
the
hallway.
Every
speaker
should
have
an
assigned
number.
We
will
be
calling
Speakers
by
number,
because
we
are
limited
on
the
available
seating
in
this
room.
There
is
an
overflow
room
across
the
hall
in
room
319.,
where
public
can
monitor
this
meeting
each
registered
speaker
will
be
given
two
minutes
to
address
the
council.
A
A
If
you
have
written
comments
or
materials
to
submit.
Please
give
those
to
the
clerks
at
the
registration
table.
We
have
printed
comment
forms
available
for
the
registration
table
if
you'd
like
to
submit
your
comment
on
this
proposal
and
that
and
have
that
included
in
the
public
record
on
this
matter.
A
A
We
have
a
range
for
interpretation
for
those
who
may
need
assistance
to
participate
in
tonight's
hearing.
If
you
require
access
assistance,
please
let
us
know
we'll
have
ASL
interpreters
available
as
well
as
interpreters
for
those
who
speak
Spanish,
Somali
and
Mom,
and
with
that
we
have
a
total
of
30
speakers
for
tonight's
hearing,
and
with
that
we
are
ready
to
open
the
public
hearing.
A
Latoro
and
I'm
sorry
I'm
gonna
really
be
challenged
with
names
and
I
hope
that
people
forgive
me
ahead
of
time
or
I'm
asking
for
people
to
forgive
me
ahead
of
time,
but
Latonya
Reeves
is
it
Reeves
first
Speaker
second
speaker
is
Amy.
Blumenshine
next
is
Stacy
pepero
Tanya,
Tracy
and
Dan
McConnell
Latonya.
J
In
adopting
this
proposal
to
cut
the
ongoing
funding
to
the
police
budget,
you
are
risking
the
lives
of
those
in
our
community
by
reducing
resources
in
a
community
that
is
already
hurting
you
hired
Dr
Alexander
for
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
You
brought
in
a
new
police
chief
from
New
Jersey
to
make
significant
changes
in
our
city
to
keep
us
safe
and
to
reduce
crime,
increase
accountability
and
to
work
magic
in
a
systematic
with
our
systematic
issues
and
our
public
safety
measures,
especially
policing.
You
cannot
responsibly
ask
for
this
and
decrease
their
budget.
J
You,
as
the
city
council,
need
to
address
our
concerns,
not
divert
money
and
then
ask
for
it
all.
You
want
miracle
workers
on
a
reduced
budget.
As
someone
who
works
in
public
safety,
we
cannot
continue
to
do
more
with
less
unless
the
results
you
want
don't
align
with
your
stated
goals
to
keep
us
safe,
we
don't
need
more
Administration.
We
need
people
patrolling
the
streets.
Thank
you.
K
So,
let's
take
two
minutes
to
note
the
scandalous
extraction
of
our
common
treasure
out
of
our
community
for
war,
preparation
in
2021,
Federal,
taxpayers
of
Minneapolis,
just
us
sent
at
least
1.1
billion
dollars
to
war
preparation.
Consider
how
that
money
could
fund
needs
in
our
neighborhoods,
for
instance,
I'd
like
to
fund
the
people's
climate
and
Equity
plan
to
create
healthy
homes
and
green
jobs,
shrink
the
racial
and
economic
wealth
Gap
and
provide
actual
security
for
future
Generations.
K
But
the
Pentagon
figures
keep
getting
higher
this
year,
782
billion
proposed
next
year,
847
billion,
and
it's
even
worse,
because
nobody,
especially
the
Auditors,
can
account
for
where
60
of
that
money
allocated
was
spent.
Why
do
we
tolerate
this?
The
Pentagon
has
the
distinction
of
being
the
only
U.S
government
agency
to
have
never
passed
a
comprehensive
audit,
and
you
know
that
that
encourages
waste
and
fraud.
The
Pentagon
is
also
Exempted
from
any
counting
of
its
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
K
Thank
you.
City
of
Minneapolis
for
adopting
very,
very
ambitious
greenhouse
gas
emission
reduction
goals.
Last
fall.
Thank
you,
2021
Council
for
passing
the
back
from
the
brink
resolution,
which
calls
for
support
of
the
treaty
on
the
prohibition
of
nuclear
weapons
and
other
Common
Sense
policies
to
prevent
nuclear
disaster.
While
saving
money-
and
you
know
the
prioritizing
War
preparation
comes
home
in
our
community
in
ways
that
many
have
been
trained
and
armed
to
use.
K
L
Hi,
my
name
is
Anastasia
papera
I
go
by
Stacy,
I
live
in
Saint
Paul,
but
I
am
a
proud
senior
plumbing
inspector
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
I'm.
Here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
c-pad
construction
code,
Services
field
inspectors,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
a
diverse
construction
industry
that
brings
in
billions
in
Revenue
annually,
permitting
and
Licensing
fees
for
projects
in
Minneapolis
brought
in
over
42
million
dollars
in
this
last
year
and
for
every
project
undertaken
every
remodel,
refurbished
or
newly
built
building
construction
code.
L
Inspectors
are
on
site
to
ensure
that
work
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
meets
state
and
local
building
codes
and
to
ensure
that
installations
and
structures
are
safe
for
use
and
habitation
be
at
home
or
hospital.
A
business
or
high-rise
a
sports
arena
or
a
City
Public
Works
building
Minneapolis
has
some
of
the
most
stringent
job
requirements
for
building
inspectors
of
any
of
the
metro
area.
L
M
Madam
president
mayor
fry
council
members,
my
name
is
Tana
Tracy
I'm,
a
senior
mechanical
spec
inspector
in
South,
Minneapolis,
Ward,
9
resident
construction
code,
Services
field
inspectors
are
just
that
field
inspectors.
We
have
continued
to
work,
meeting,
face-to-face
with
contractors,
business
owners
and
homeowners
through
the
pandemic
and
social
unrest,
often
acting
as
the
face
of
the
city,
While
others
stayed
behind
closed
doors.
M
We
have
been
working
under
an
expired
contract
since
January
1st
of
this
year,
while
negotiating
with
the
city
with
little
progress
after
reaching
an
impasse.
After
months
of
negotiations
in
September,
the
parties
agreed
to
mediation
on
November
21st.
The
city
sent
the
mediation
team
back
to
their
co-workers,
with
an
offer
that
was
unanimously
rejected
by
the
inspectors
as
it
neither
addresses
a
market
adjustment
nor
keeps
Pace
with
inflation,
and
the
rising
wages
others
in
the
industry
are
receiving.
M
A
vote
to
strike
has
also
been
approved
by
our
members,
while
Minneapolis
has
experienced
revenue
and
budget
budget
fluctuations
over
the
past
three
years.
Overall,
there
has
been
a
steady
climb
in
the
number
of
building
permits
issued,
as
well
as
an
increase
in
revenue
generated
by
those
permits,
but
while
the
workload
for
the
building
inspectors
has
gone
up,
our
wages
have
continued
to
fall
further
behind
those
of
inspectors.
M
In
surrounding
municipalities,
we
do
not
want
to
strike,
but
we
need
a
market
adjustment
that
will
bring
Minneapolis
inspector
wages
in
line
with
municipalities
around
us,
and
that
is
appropriate
for
the
level
of
training
and
expertise
we
bring
to
our
jobs
every
day
and
that
will
make
it
possible
for
us
to
hire
and
retain
high
quality
inspectors.
That
will
have
the
skills
necessary
to
continue
ensuring
that
the
construction
projects
undertaken
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
meet
the
code
requirements
set
by
the
city,
state
and
Country.
M
N
Thank
you,
president
Jenkins
air
fry
and
call
the
members
Dan
McConnell
resident
of
Ward
12.
I
just
want
to
start
by
congratulating
you
all
on
your
work
to
fund
the
important
work
of
the
city
on
all
the
initiatives
that
move
our
city
forward.
I'm,
especially
appreciative
of
the
funding
to
finish
installing
sprinklers
in
our
high
rises
update
our
street
lighting
and
I'm
hopeful
that
a
solution
can
be
found
to
fund
the
call
enforcement
for
labor
standards,
but
I'm
here
tonight
with
my
inspectors
group.
N
As
you
know,
we've
been
in
negotiations
since
January
and
we're
here
to
remind
you
that
our
your
employees,
who
you
rely
on
to
carry
out
the
work,
have
their
budgets
too
or
hopefully
we
can
come
an
agreement
on
Friday
and
avoid
a
strike
which
are
members
of
unanimously
authorized.
None
of
us
want
to
strike,
but
it's
our
only
recourse
unless
your
labor
relations
can
recognize
the
need
for
the
city
to
keep
up
with
inflation
and
peer
cities
like
St,
Louis,
Park,
Edina,
Blaine,
Plymouth,
West,
St,
Paul,
Chanhassen,
Egan
and
Woodbury.
N
Each
of
these
cities
pay
their
inspectors
more
than
City
Minneapolis
by
an
average
of
3.81
cents
an
hour,
8.8
percent
when
you
factor
inflation.
On
top
of
that,
you
can
see
why
the
city's
own
audit
department,
just
yesterday,
reported
that
the
city
is
falling
behind.
It
is
not
competitive
in
the
current
labor
Marketplace.
N
O
When
I
see
our
tax
dollars,
paying
Minneapolis,
Public
Works
employees
to
bulldoze
tents
and
the
belongings
of
our
unhoused
neighbors,
like
they
did
last
October.
That
does
not
make
me,
as
a
citizen,
feel
safer
when
I
see
our
tax
dollars,
paying
Minneapolis
police
officers
in
full
riot
gear
to
evict
our
unhoused
neighbors.
That
does
not
make
me
feel
safer.
That
makes
me
feel
terrified
what
I
want
is
to
live
in
a
city.
O
When
we
see
people
suffering
on
the
streets
in
a
freezing
cold
night,
we
say
yes,
our
tax
dollars
are
going
to
alleviate
suffering,
not
prolong
it.
We're
not
just
the
citizens
of
our
city,
but
the
systems
say
come
in
from
the
cold.
There
is
more
than
enough.
There
are
resources
to
share.
We
have
enough
to
house
everyone
feed
everyone
fund,
everyone.
If
you
have
the
moral
courage
to
pass
the
budget,
that
will
do
so,
I
looked
on
the
website.
It
says
the
office
to
end
homeless.
O
Business
is
getting
a
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
increase
so
that
the
annual
amount
is
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
annually
that
we're
contributing
to
end
homelessness.
The
police
have
projected
expenses
for
the
next
season
of
195
million
Mr
Mayor,
you
campaigned
on
ending
homelessness.
Show
me
you're
serious,
move.
A
million
dollars
find
the
money
figure
out.
Please
how
to
do
it
so
that
we
can
live
in
a
city
where
I
know
if
the
needs
of
the
most
marginalized
are
met,
then
I
know
my
needs
will
be
taken
care
of
too
Minneapolis
city
council.
O
P
P
One
reason
given
is
that
some
council
members
seem
to
be
upset
that
a
small
funding
was
a
which
is
a
drop
in
the
bucket
of
the
inflated
police.
The
budget
budget
was
going
to
go
to
fund
Municipal
ID,
because
you
have
a
complete
failure
to
understand
that.
Having
access
to
an
ID
is
actually
a
safety
issue
for
your
residents
and
it's
actually
dangerous
to
not
have
one.
P
Also,
you
walk
around
pretending,
you're
concerned
about
data
which
completely
points
out
that
you
are
telling
your
immigrant
residents
that
you
don't
think
they
are
smart
enough
to
make
their
own
decisions
about
their
Futures.
Your
no
vote
against
Municipal,
ID
and
funding.
It
is
not
only
dangerous
to
your
residents.
It's
also
very
condescending
us
I'm,
especially
disappointed
with
my
council
member
council
member
Jenkins.
We
met
with
you
as
mirac
I
was
in
that
room
personally
in
2018
before
you
were
elected.
When
you
said
you
supported
Municipal
ID,
you
voted
for
municipality
Municipal
ID
in
2018.
P
P
Q
Yeah,
my
name
is
DJ.
I
live
in
Ward,
seven
I
just
wanted
to
speak
here
as
a
concerned.
Community
member
in
the
city
where
George
Floyd
was
literally
murdered.
The
city
and
state
hasn't
even
pretended
to
give
us
watered-down
half
measures
instead
making
sure
that
we
don't
have
another
George,
Floyd,
Dante,
Wright,
Amir,
lock
or
Tecla.
Q
All
they
have
done
in
the
last
two
years
is
is
give
raises
to
these
people
who
keep
claiming
that
they're
more
traumatized
than
the
people
that
they
threw
tear
gas
at
and
shot
in
the
head
with
rubber
bullets
permanently
disabling
several
people.
Now
here
we
are
with
the
second
round
of
raises,
since
creating
this
worldwide
Uprising
and
the
best
this
Council
can
do
is
create
more
fake
Solutions
like
ccop
or
I,
guess,
I
should
say
fake
CPAC,
which
is
this
oversight
committee
that
has
no
teeth
and
will
fail
to
give
us
accountability.
Q
That
CPAC
will
give
us.
We
need
to
stop
giving
money
to
the
cops
all
they're
doing
is
terrorizing
bipoc
folks,
while
evicting
our
unhoused
neighbors.
No
one
is
saying,
while
Victor
are
unhoused
neighbors,
so
no
one
is
saying
that
the
encampments
or
the
solution,
what
we're
asking
until
y'all
find
a
solution.
Y'all
need
to
let
these
people
live
in
their
houses
and
stop
evicting
them
when
it's
six
degrees
outside.
Q
R
R
You
may
be
aware
that
two
members,
the
two
directly
elected
members
of
the
board
of
estimate,
did
propose
a
reduction
in
the
levy
that
was
proposed
by
the
mayor
of
almost
a
full
percentage
point.
It
wasn't
that
we
wanted
less
money
to
be
spent
in
the
budget
overall
was
that
we
wanted
the
proportion
from
the
property
tax
reduced
and
shifted
in
the
direction
of
the
substantial
budget
Reserve
that
the
city
enjoys
as
of
the
end
of
the
third
quarter
cities
year-end
budget
Reserve
is
projected
to
amount
to
almost
twice
almost
twice
the
17
percent.
R
The
typical
Homestead
owner
next
year
will
pay
a
10
percent
higher
city
property
tax
in
Ward
four,
it
will
be
18.8
percent
if
you
adopt
the
mayor's
proposal
and
in
Ward
5,
who
will
be
14
percent,
but
the
the
state
does
provide
five
at
least
property
tax
credits
for
minnesotans
people
can
use
to
reduce
their
bill.
I've
prepared
a
cheat
sheet
that
lists
them
all.
In
general,
the
lower
your
income
and
the
higher
your
increase,
the
more
you're
going
to
stand
to
benefit
and
I
will
leave
these
out
on
the
table
outside.
S
Also,
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
nation
needs
to
be
respected.
Not
circumvented
by
this
body
and
our
city,
we've
received
740
donations
to
stop
the
Hiawatha
expansion.
We've
received
the
support
of
every
environmental
justice
group
in
the
city,
the
entire
state
representative
level
all
oppose
a
Hiawatha
expansion.
This
is
an
amazing
opportunity
to
create
something
so
seize
the
moment
and
do
what's
right
and
and
put
Minneapolis
back
on
the
map
as
being
Progressive.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
T
T
and
I
just
want
to
quote
from
the
resolution.
Creating
the
Minneapolis
green
zones,
which
are
to
achieve
racial
Equity,
prevent
gentrification
support,
Community,
develop
Economic
Development
and
strengthen
the
health
of
communities
that
face
the
cumulative
impacts
of
environmental
pollution
as
well
as
social
and
political
and
economic
vulnerability
to
include
community-led
planning,
prioritization
of
homegrown
development
and
Community
ownership
of
the
green
zone,
initiatives
that
are
Innovative,
creative,
courageous,
flexible
and
adaptive.
The
Hiawatha
campus
Expansion
Project
makes
a
mockery
of
these
promises.
T
Far
from
strengthening
the
health
of
the
communities
of
the
South
Side
green
zone,
it
would
bring
more
pollution
at
every
stage
to
a
neighborhood
already
overburdened
with
pollution
during
demolition.
It
would
expose
underground,
arsenic
to
the
air
and
the
water
during
operations.
It
would
bring
air
pollution
from
more
than
from
3
000
additional
vehicle
trips
a
day
to
a
neighborhood.
With
some
of
the
highest
rate
of
fatal
car
crashes
in
the
city,
far
from
being
flexible
and
adaptive,
city
leaders
have
refused
to
make
any
significant
changes
to
their
plans
to
address
the
community's
concerns.
T
U
Hello,
everyone,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Ashley
worthpetrick
I
use
she
her
pronouns
and
I'm
a
resident
of
Minneapolis
in
ward
10..
Thank
you
all
for
your
service
to
community
I'm,
also
here
today,
with
the
Minnesota
Freedom
fund.
But
I've
also
worked
for
local
non-profits
serving
people
who
have
experienced
trauma
for
over
a
decade.
U
We
know
what
contributes
to
safety
and
it's
hope,
hope
in
a
good
future
hope
in
a
future
belonging
housing
having
examples
of
getting
your
needs
met
without
using
violence
or
abuse
of
power,
education,
youth
programming
and
mental
health
support,
so
I'm
asking
for
funding
alternatives
to
policing,
because
we
want
safety
and
we
know
what
contributes
to
safety,
for
example,
fully
funding,
affordable
housing
and
mental
health
support,
contributes
to
safety
and
also
things
like
victim
services
and
a
community
attorney
and
the
other
really
brilliant.
Thoughtful.
U
Intentional
amendments
brought
by
council
member
wansley
I've
been
outside
the
jail
greeting
people
upon
release
when
they
come
out
and
they
ask
right
away.
Do
you
know
anything
about
housing,
support
or
jobs
or
legal
support?
That
shows
me
that
people
know
what
contributes
to
their
own
safety
and
safer
communities.
People
who
are
trying
to
abide
by
conditions
of
release
and
rebuild
more
stability
in
their
lives,
they're
asking
for
housing,
jobs
and
legal
support
that
should
tell
us
something.
We
also
need
council
members
to
have
more
resources
to
research.
U
We
should
be
doing
this
work
based
on
research
and
there's
plenty
of
elected
officials
on
this
Council
today
who
have
brilliant
opportunities
for
more
safety,
and
they
need
the
research
to
do
that
work.
Lastly,
another
valuable
tool
to
gain
access
to
supports
is
identification.
We
know
people
need
IDs
for
access
to
shelter
and
housing.
Opening
a
bank
account
obtaining
medication,
registering
children
for
school,
and
we
also
know
that
ID
is
and
other
important
documents
are
things
that
people
lose
during
violent
encampment
evictions.
Thank.
W
W
W
I
urge
you
to
put
them
put
the
people's
money
where
your
support
is.
People
are
waiting
for
you
all
to
act.
They
need
to
open
bank
accounts
to
be
admitted
to
hospitals,
to
obtain
their
prescription
drugs
to
register
their
children
for
school,
to
interact
with
the
criminal
legal
system
to
obtain
an
identification
that
matches
their
gender
identity.
W
In
order
for
this
oversight
to
have
any
impact
in
our
community,
it
needs
to
be
funded.
It
needs
to
be
funded
for
the
resources
for
the
training
and
the
support
to
be
effective
in
its
important
role.
Finally,
I
cannot
stress
enough
the
importance
of
affordable
housing
right
now.
I
am
assisting
my
elderly
mother
and
my
disabled
sister
in
moving
closer
to
me,
so
that
I
can
help
them
more
they're
both
on
fixed
incomes
and
have
not
been
able
to
find
affordable
housing.
W
Fortunately,
my
husband
and
I
are
in
a
position
where
we
can
step
in
and
ensure
that
they
do
not
become
homeless.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
in
Minneapolis
who
don't
have
that
option
so
I
implore
you
all
to
take
action
and
to
fund
affordable
housing,
the
oversight
commission
and
the
municipal
ID
program.
Thank
you.
Thank.
X
There
are
all
kinds
of
mental
health,
mental
mental
disease.
That's
going
on
in
these.
You
know
on
these
young
people.
Some
of
them
are,
you
know,
drug
related.
There
are
all
kinds
of
black
living
mental
health
issues
among
the
somalis
youth
in
that
area.
Opioid
is
really
epidemic
in
that
area,
particularly
near
Carmel,
Mall
and
the
vicinity
is
nearby.
X
If
there's,
if
there
isn't
any
help
with
this
issue,
the
drug
will
be
will
continue
to
be
out
of
control
and
will
continue
to
lose.
Many
young
lives
view
is
working
with
the
magical,
Center
and
Imam
Kanan
City
of
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
and
as
well
as
ucmt
and
young
young

of
other

organizations
to
help
Somali

to

violence.
X
Y
Thank
you
by
the
president,
I'm
here
just
to
say:
I'm,
Al,
flowers,
I'm,
an
African-American
I'm,
an
I'm,
a
descendant
of
slave
I,
know
who
I
am
and
I
want
to
say.
I
watched
through
this
process
when
George
Floyd
got
killed
and
I
watched
people
raise
money
off
our
back
nationally
black
live
matter,
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars,
he'll
reclaimed
the
block
black
Vision
Collective
over
30
million
dollars.
Y
The
refund
group
that
just
got
up
here
talking
letting
people
out
that
did
rape,
people
and
and
did
other
things
so
miss
me
with
that
I'm
I'm,
saying
to
this
Council
and
I'm,
trying
to
say
to
the
governor
and
to
this
state
and
to
African-Americans.
The
only
way
we're
going
to
get
recognized
is
by
saying
who
we
are
the
ones
that
don't
want
us
to
say.
Who
we
are
is.
Is
people
that's
in
government?
That's
saying
it,
but
you
could
say
Latino.
Y
You
could
say
Native
American,
you
could
say
Asians,
you
can
say
Somali,
you
could
say
Liberian
Nigerian,
but
but
you
can't
say
African-American
because
there's
something
wrong
with
that.
When
we,
when
we
went
when
the
mayor
was
running
for
office,
we
was
best
friends,
mayor
Lou.
He
was
best
friends
because
we
had
to
because
I
wouldn't
talk
about
defunding,
a
police
department
that
was
going
to
hurt
our
community.
Y
We
was
best
friends,
then,
and
y'all
got
to
recognize
I'm
sitting
up
here,
saying
that
you
got
to
recognize
who
we
are,
because
you
can't
say
it
when
you
say
all
them
other
names,
everybody
say:
oh
yeah
yeah.
As
soon
as
you
say,
African-Americans,
oh,
no,
oh,
no,
and
then
you
turn
the
camera.
You
got
the
camera.
The
camera
ain't
working
today
because
they
know
I
was
going
to
say
something
good.
You
know
that's
what
it's
about
I'm
talking
about
my
people
and
I
and
I
and
I.
Y
Look
when
they
when
Cedric
Alexander
came
up
here
and
most
minority
council
members
voted
against
this
African-American
man,
who
had
a
exemplary
a
record,
but
it's
okay
he's
still
here
and
we
and
some
people
believe
in
them,
like
we
believe
in
the
chief
y'all
win
six
13-0
there,
but
it's
something
about
African-Americans
that
people
can't
recognize
and
we
got.
We
must
begin
to
recognize
our
community,
we
gotta
say
if
we're
African-American
descendant
to
slave.
It's
all
right.
That's
who
I
am
thank.
Y
Z
Perhaps
we
would
be
in
order,
we
lost
a
freedom
fighter
about
a
week
or
so
ago
in
the
name
of
John
turnipsey
that
died,
giving
his
life
y'all
for
this
city
and
for
us
to
meet,
and
not
at
least
take
20
or
30
good
seconds
to
recognize.
That
I
think
is
a
is
a
miscarriage
of
justice
and
so
Madam
president.
If
I'm
not
out
of
line,
could
you
all
please
do
that
in
memory
of
John
turnipsy.
Z
Thank
you
so
much
since
George
Floyd,
we've
probably
had
well
over
300
homicides
over
a
thousand
shootings
and
over
88
percent
of
those
are
from
people
of
color
African-Americans
in
particular,
and
mostly
male.
The
environment
that
has
been
created
is
so
toxic
right
now
that
I
don't
know
what
you
all
are
going
to
do
this
past
summer,
young
lady,
who
was
killed
down
that
in
the
U.S
bank,
shot
in
the
stomach
severed
her
spine,
the
minute
the
police
showed
up,
the
people
attacked
the
police,
and
our
group
had
to
intervene
right
after
that.
Z
A
14
year
old
boy
was
shot
over
North
by
somebody
driving
by
when
we
got
to
the
scene.
They
were
ready
to
attack
the
police
and
the
police.
Hadn't
done
anything,
you
guys
have
a
toxic
environment.
Whoever
created
it.
I
know
not
here's.
What
I
can
tell
you
you're
going
to
have
to
eventually
deal
with
it
right
over
there
in
jdc
you,
you
got
a
14
year
old
girl
she's
been
prostituting,
since
she
was
seven
because
her
mother
sold
her
that's
what's
happening
in
this
city.
Z
Just
last
week
you
had
an
11

shot
y'all,
and
when
we
pulled
up
everything
on
his

page
he's
throwing
gang
signs,
you
all
got
a
Monumental
problem
that
you
have
to
look
at
and
examine.
It
will
never
ever
be
dealt
with
By
ignoring
it.
It
will
not
be
dealt
with
by
putting
all
of
the
attention
upon
the
police,
because
it's
quiet
as
it's
kept.
The
people
that
I
bury
y'all
has
not
been
shot
by
the
police.

Good
evening
my
name
is
Veronica
Mendez,
more
I
am
the
co-director
of
setul
center
of
Workers
United
in
struggle.
I
live
in
Ward
8
in
a
council
president
Jenkins
Ward
and
our
offices
are
right.
Our
property
line
is
shared
by
council
president
Jenkins
and
councilmember
Chavez
I'm
very
grateful
to
many
of
you
in
the
past
for
partnering
with
us
to
do
this
call
enforcement
work
that
has
made
such
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
so
many
of
the
lowest
paid
black
and
brown
workers
in
our
city.
AC
It's
been
critical,
as
we've
done
the
incredible
work
of
passing
laws
that
actually
protect
workers
rights
to
make
sure
that
the
most
vulnerable
workers
are
actually
receiving
the
rights
that
they
fought
for
and
that
they
won.
This
is
the
work
that
helps
us
do
that.
We
know
anecdotally,
that
the
folks
who
call
into
the
city
on
their
own
are
folks
that
work
in
unions
are
predominantly
white.
Folks
are
folks
that
are
not
the
most
vulnerable
folks
and
the
folks
that
are
actually
in
Industries
with
the
highest
violations
are
not
calling
it
on
their
own
they're.
AC
Looking
to
the
support
of
their
communities,
they're
in
part
partnership
with
organizations
like
sethul,
like
rock,
like
new
Justice
project,
and
that
we
play
a
critical
role
in
making
sure
that
workers
are
just
at
least
even
being
paid,
what
they're
supposed
to
be
paid
and
on
top
of
that
developing
leadership
with
workers
so
that
they
can
actually
stand
up
for
themselves.
We
don't
want
to
have
a
city
where
workers
just
always
have
to
rely
on
someone
else
to
to
Advocate
on
their
behalf.
AC
We
want
a
city
where
workers
can
stand
up
for
themselves
where
they
know
their
rights
where
they
know
how
to
go
and
talk
to
their
employer
and
say
hey.
This
isn't
right.
This
is
how
I'm
supposed
to
be
paid
these
I'm
supposed
to
have
sick
days.
That's
what
we're
trying
to
build
here
and
in
partnership
with
the
city
with
the
Civil
Rights
department
and
labor
standards
enforcement
division.
AC
AD
So
when
these
community
members
get
sick
and
our
neighbors
get
sick,
where
do
they
end
up
and
who
takes
care
of
them?
You
see
stopping
this
RFP
to
demolish
the
roof.
Depot
is
preventative
medicine.
What
health
professionals
need
from
you
in
order
to
continue
to
deliver
care
is
for
officials
to
listen
to
the
voices
of
scientists
and
health
professionals
to
prioritize
the
health
of
the
people
and
also
prioritize
their
own
health.
AD
Many
of
the
Direct
effects
of
demolition
of
the
roof
Depot
will
not
manifest
until
years
down
the
line.
Even
if
we
stop
this
right
now,
the
Legacy
and
effects
of
current
air
pollution
and
racism
have
impacted
a
generation
of
people
who
aren't
even
conceived
yet
the
most
at
risk
are
the
elderly,
disabled
youth,
infants
and
The
Unborn,
and
when
we
look
at
recommendations
from
the
original
Health
assessment
for
the
South
Side
Green
Zone,
it's
very
interesting
you'll
see
it
says
to
reduce
trucks
and
heavy
Vehicles
yeah.
AD
AD
And
also
when
you
pull
up
a
map
of
the
cancer
burden,
areas
of
Minneapolis-
and
you
put
it
right
on
top
of
a
map
of
where
there's
a
highest
density
of
people
of
color
and
black
and
Indigenous
folks,
it
becomes
really
hard
to
tell
which
one
is
which
now
you've
heard
our
stories
of
loss
and
sacrifice
and
I
want
to
tell
you
right
now
that
these
stories
are
precious.
We
aren't
exposing
ourselves
like
this
to
ban
plastic
straws.
AD
AE

However,
the
Public
Works
plan
here
would
not
repair
years
of
racist
policies.
The
plan
would
not
even
abandon
racist
policies.
This
plan
would
continue
racist
policies.
Why?
Because
of
others
have
said,
the
Public
Works
plan
here
would
dump
yet
another
polluting
Source
into
the
East
Phillips
neighborhood,
a
community
predominantly
of
color,
which
already
has
some
of
the
highest
rates
of
industrial
pollution
and
illness
related
to
pollution.

All
you
can
think
about
is
drawing
breath
literally
and
it's
terrifying
for
people
around
you,
because
they
can't
do
anything.
They've
got
to
sit
and
watch
you.
Asthma
is
terrifying.
It's
also
sometimes
fatal,
and
the
research
shows
that
high
levels
of
air
pollution
can
cause
asthma
in
both
children
and
adults.
AF
Children
living
in
areas
with
high
pollution
are
more
at
risk
and,
if
you're
exposed
to
high
levels
of
pollution
when
you're
pregnant,
whether
you
have
asthma,
yourself
or
not,
your
baby
could
be
much
more
likely
to
develop
asthma.
East
Phillips
has
among
the
highest
levels
of
pollution
in
the
state.
It
also
has
some
of
the
highest
levels
of
asthma
in
the
state
and
I
have
a
family
member
who
suffers
from
asthma.
She
would
be
impacted
by
this
expansion
that
the
city
would
put
another
polluting
Source
in
this
already
disproportionately
affected.
Neighborhood
makes
no
sense.
A
AG
Foreign,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Dan
Turner
I
live
in
the
Seward
neighborhood,
not
far
adjacent
to
the
east,
Phillips
neighborhood
and
I'm.
Here
to
ask
that
you
remove
Public
Works
budget
item,
wtr
18,
the
Hiawatha
campus
expansion,
the
current
plan
to
demolish
the
roof,
Depot
Arsenic
and
all
is
a
deal
to
further
pollute
A
working
class
neighborhood
for
the
convenience
of
cutting
down
travel
time
for
city
worker
workers.
AG
The
history
of
this
country
is
one
of
stealing
land
and
passing
pollution
on
to
communities
with
less
power.
Environmental
racism,
black
brown
and
Indigenous
communities
have
been
bearing
the
brunt
of
American
ecocide
for
centuries.
The
plan
to
demolish
the
roof
Depot
against
the
wishes
of
the
East
Phillips
neighborhood,
represents
a
continuation
of
that
problem.
AG
Not
only
is
the
demolition
demolition
plan
unfair,
it's
also
kind
of
ridiculous.
In
light
of
how
the
city
itself
had
drafted
an
alternative
plan
to
expand
its
current
facility
and
this
alternative
plan
is
both
cheaper
and
didn't
involve
constructing
in
a
residential
area,
not
that
the
city
ever
wanted
us
to
know
about
it.
AG
AG
AH
The
community
has
so
thoughtfully,
put
forward
their
recommendation
and
layers
of
concern
with
a
priority
to
not
disturb
the
base
soil.
That
is
there
that
contains
arsenic
which
could
slowly
leak
into
the
Mississippi
River
and
disturb
pristine
habitat,
and
they
have
tried
to
offer
the
community
a
vision
that
has
an
alternative
to
Industrial
sites
and
then
adding
more
cars
passing
through
the
neighborhood.
But
we're
not
here
to
specifically
talk
about
things
or
resources.
What
the
people
of
East
Phillips,
who
are
overburdened
so
I,
want
to
ask
you
some
questions.
AH
Would
you
choose
to
live
in
a
neighborhood
where
you
have
twice
the
chance
of
developing
an
illness
or
cancer
simply
as
a
result
of
growing
vegetables
in
your
own
yard?
If
you
know
someone
who
lives
in
South
Minneapolis,
specifically
in
East
Phillips,
would
you
feel
comfortable
with
the
value
of
their
home
being
decreased?
If
arsenic
contaminates
their
yard,
would
you
feel
comfortable
moving
forward
if
you
knew
there
was
an
alternative
site,
as
has
been
mentioned
to
this
one,
and
feel
comfortable
with
arsenic
being
disturbed
in
that
soil?
AH
Is
it
just
for
East
Phillips
for
this
neighbor
to
Neighborhood
to
take
on
more
of
a
burden
of
the
pollution?
If
the
answer
is
no,
we
implore
you
to
honor
the
vision
and
the
health
of
this
community
in
the
Eastfield
neighborhood
to
honor
the
green
zone
and
to
seek
an
alternative
for
the
city's
operations
and
transportation
sites.
AI
Good
evening
Larry
Crawford
I'm
from
the
Como
neighborhood
in
Wards,
one
and
two
I'm
here
to
speak
against
the
budget's
proposed
reduction
in
association
funding
and
speak
in
favor
of
a
base
funding
amount
decades
ago,
the
city
made
an
enlightened
decision,
looking
Beyond
infrastructure
and
Public
Safety,
looking
Beyond
development
of
the
downtown
Center.
It
wanted
to
promote
Vitality
of
the
neighborhoods
by
a
way
of
supporting
neighborhood
associations
to
create
the
necessary
activities
and
vitality
where
people
live
in
the
city.
AI
The
neighborhood
associations
have
helped
the
neighborhoods
Thrive
and
be
vital
through
challenges
like
a
2008
recession
and
the
pandemic.
The
proposed
budget
would
decimate
financial
support
for
the
associations,
with
cuts
up
to
50
percent.
As
you
can
see,
working
class
neighborhoods
would
not
have
associations
going
forward
of
the
87
existing
neighborhood
associations.
Wealthy
affluent
neighborhoods,
of
course,
would
continue
to
enjoy
that
benefit
that
betrays
the
idealism
and
the
commitment
to
residential
neighborhoods
that
the
city
made
many
decades
ago.
AI
If
the
association
is
supporting
Community
celebrations,
if
the
association
is
providing
newsletter
and
other
communication
services
to
the
neighborhood,
give
it
that
base
level,
then,
on
top
of
that
add
on
additional
incremental
funding
for
City
goals
such
as
Open
Access,
renter
access,
Equitable
engagement
and
so
on,
add
additional
funding
on
top
of
that
base
in
terms
of
blocks
of
five
or
ten
thousand
dollars,
so
that
these
associations
can
meet
the
the
necessary
minimum
requirements
to
survive
and
support
your
residential
neighborhoods.
Thank
you.

I
represent
myself,
I
speak
for
many
I
believe
you
know,
I'm
concerned
with
all
the
bike
paths
that
are
being
created
throughout
the
city,
in
particular
the
one
that
has
been
worked
on
at
this
time
on
Bryant
Avenue
and
the
inconvenience
is
that
it's
caused.
The
people
that
have
lived
there
and
I
pose
the
question.
Someone
came
to
your
doors
one
day
and
they
said
we're.
Taking
your
parking
in
front
of
your
house.
Hope
you
don't
mind.
AJ
It's
an
inconvenience,
especially
for
those
that
are
older,
there's
a
limited
number
of
parking
spots
on
that
street.
So
that
was
one
thing
there
Hennepin
Avenue
and
we
can't
speak
to
what
they're
trying
to
do
over
in
Summit
Avenue.
But
it's
a
big
concern.
You
know
it's
like
that.
The
tail
wagging
the
dog-
and
it
concerns
me
greatly
that
our
tax
money
is
being
spent.
AJ
AJ
If
we
have
a
Christmas
party,
we
had
about
three
spots
out
there:
it's
really
an
inconvenience,
that's
being
created
and
and
I'm
just
wondering
how
many
ideas
to
revise
this
plan
were
taken
into
consideration
when
this
was
being
developed.
So
just
think
about
your
elderly
parents.
You
know
your
your
young
daughters
that
have
to
walk.

Hello,
my
name
is
Montana
Hirsch
and
I
am
here
with
the
Minnesota
immigrant
rights
action
committee.
We
had
several
demands
of
the
city
and
we
brought
two
of
them
to
these
budget
hearings,
funding
the
implementation
of
a
municipal
ID
and
to
create
a
fund
for
immigration
related
expenses
from
Minneapolis
immigrants,
including
DACA
renewals.
AK
Thank
you
to
all
the
Thousand
residents
from
across
all
Wards
who
signed
our
petition
asking
you
to
fulfill
these
demands,
and
we
appreciate
the
council
members
who
sat
with
us
to
discuss
these
Community
demands
as
well.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
doing
what
is
right
and
adding
funding
for
immigration
expenses
into
the
city
budget.
Our
hope
is
that
this
will
offer
a
vital
Lifeline
for
the
high
cost
of
being
an
immigrant
in
the
U.S.
This
is
a
victory
for
immigrants
here
and
hopefully
other
cities
in
Minnesota
will
follow
suit.
AK
On
funding
Municipal
ID
I
must
express
my
utter
disappointment
in
the
council
members
who
voted
against
this,
especially
after
having
already
passed
the
ordinance
for
municipal
D,
Municipal
idea
in
2018..
It
feels
like
a
slap
in
the
face
from
Council
Members,
rainville,
Vita,
Goodman,
Jenkins,
Koski,
Johnson
and
palmisano,
because
this
is
a
popular
program
among
our
community
across
all
Wards
and
Beyond
The
Immigrant
communities
of
Minneapolis.
In
the
end,
if
you
say
you
support
immigrants
in
Minneapolis
and
that
you
believe
in
something
like
Municipal
ID
in
Theory,
without
implementation
or
funding,
you
stand
for
nothing.
AL
Hi,
my
name
is
Janine
Patterson
and
I
live
in
McKinley
area.
Mckinley
neighborhood
I've
been
in
my
home
for
32
years
up
until
the
last
two
years,
things
were
going
really
great.
For
me,
we
had
police
officers
that
would
come
by
they
wave
they
check
and
see
how
we
were
doing
the
rock
that
I
live
on.
Most
of
the
people
are
elderly,
I
mean
I'm
61,
so
I
guess
they
can
put
me
in
that
category.
But
every
night
myself,
my
son
and
three
other
people
on
the
Block.
AL
We
protect
our
block
because
we
lost
over
about
300
police
officers,
so
they're
not
able
to
come
so
we
protect
the
elderly.
We
I
myself,
went
and
got
have
two
big
German
Shepherds.
They
look
like
wolves,
I'm
licensed
to
carry
we
go
out,
we
take
turns,
go
walk
the
block
to
make
sure
nothing
is
happening
to
anyone.
AL
AL
So
I
every
day
when
we
get
up
I,
tell
my
son
it's
another
day
at
night
right
now,
I'm
sure
he's
walking
the
block
protecting
him.
So
please
think
about
all
of
these
people
who
can't
get
have
the
police
get
there,
get
to
them
fast
enough
to
protect
them.
I
don't
want
to
do
this.
It's
not
my
job
but
I'm,
making
my
job
because
I'm
going
to
protect
the
people
on
my
block.
A
AM
I
mean
quite
impossible
on
30th
Avenue
North,
which
is
in
my
backyard
literally
I,
see
it
straight
off.
My
deck
I
have
been
privy
to
have
drug
dealers
who
literally
park
there
all
day
long
all
night,
long
sleep
in
their
cars
who
literally
camped
there
all
day,
all
night
bringing
prostitutes,
addicts,
shootings
and
I
watch
people
get
high
shooting
up
smoking
crack
the
whole
nine
yards
I've
witnessed
numerous
ODS,
where
I've
had
to
call
the
police,
which
quite
a
few
of
them,
have
been
quite
fatal.
AM
AM
in
911
operators
tell
me
to
keep
calling
but
I
have
officers
who
call
me
back
to
tell
me
to
stop
calling
quote
unquote,
No
one's
coming,
because
we
don't
have
anybody
so
because
I've
been
I've
allowed
officers
to
use
my
home
as
stakeouts
I've.
Given
multiple
pictures,
we
have
cameras
that
do
not
work
and
have
not
worked
on
my
block
I've
contacted
my
politicians,
sent
them
emails
and
have
not
heard
back
from
them.
I've
been
threatened
by
these
people
because
I
called
the
police
and
they
know
it's
me.
They've,
threatened
and
attacked.

My
elderly
neighbors

been
able

move
one

He
moved

he
had
to
move
his

were
attacking

as
well,
so
with
a
decrease
in

the

is
only
going

I
request
that
you
reconsider
your
decision
and
put

on

of
taking

away.

Thank

Keith
McCarron,

I'm
sure
he'll
come
as
no
surprise
that
I
stand
in
opposition
to
the
increased
funding
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
There
has
been
no
decrease
funding,
they're
making
more
in
budgetary
expenses
than
they
were
when
they
murdered
George
Floyd.
AN
So
enough
we
went
from
world
famous
police
from
a
nine-minute
public,
lynching
of
George
Floyd
to
a
nine-second
murder
of
Amir,
lock
to
a
nine
hour
sniper
rifle
assassination
of
techley
sunburg.
This
department
has
been
the
recipient
of
a
72-page
report,
excoriating
them
for
violating
basic
human
rights
and
now
are
being
investigated
by
one
of
the
highest
law
enforcement
agencies
in
the
land,
the
Department
of
Justice.
They
will
be
under
not
one
but
two
consent,
decrees,
and
yet
they
get
increased.
AN
Funding
for
drones,
increase
funding
for

cameras.
Meanwhile,
we
have
2312
Lindale,
a
slumlord
who
owns
seven
properties,
whose
heads
4
four
fires.
In
six
months,
the
city
instead
focuses
on
sending
these
violent,
brutal
cops
out
to
encampments,
to
take
away
the
tiny
this
little
bit
of
property
in
violation
of
Wilhelmina
rights,
Federal
ruling
about
destroying
and
banning
property.
Instead,
they
go
out
there
and
do
that.
These
things
are

Okay,
so
today,
I
just
want
to
pretty
much
speak
to
everybody
on
the
console
and
mayor.
Think
about
why
you
guys
are
here,
why
you
have
your
jobs
and
that
is
to
represent
the
people
in
your
District
and
what
I've
been
hearing
lately
is
all
districts
are
equal
and
what
the
majority
of
the
people
are
saying
about.
One
issue
is
that
there
needs
to
be
better
resources
for
everyone.
AO
AO
People
don't
know
how
to
use
the
computers.
I
think
you
guys
should
just
maybe
think
about
I,
don't
know.
Paint
everybody's
water
bill
for
a
month
use
some
of
the
money
for
that.
Give
people
a
hands
up,
not
a
handout
quit
destroying
lives.
Just
because
you're,
a
coach,
surfinger
you're
living
with
your
parents
or
your
grandparents
does
not
mean
you're,
not
homeless,
and
just
because
you
make
fifty
dollars
more
a
month,
you
have
no
resources
available
to
you
in
Hennepin
County
only
and
what
does
that?
What?
What
are
you
teaching
people?
AO
Oh
quit
your
job,
so
you
can
be
on
the
welfare
or
be
in
the
system.
It's
just
making
the
Youth
of
today
crazy
and
nuts
mayor
fry
honor.
Your
word
I've
seen
you
two
times
personally
in
the
past.
I,
don't
know
three
years
you
you
owe
me
a
boot,
that's
for
sure,
quick,
closing
encampments
down
what
are
people
going
to
do?
The
past
two
days,
I've
been
out
there,
helping
people
get
shelter
and
stuff
like
that,
just
because
you're,
cold,
surfing
or
living
with
your
your
parents
does
not
mean
you're,
you're,
not
homeless,.

Hi,
my
name
is
Lucifer
moss
and
I
am
here
on
the
behalf
of
mirac
I'm,
just
kind
of
echo
some
thoughts
from
other
mirac
members
earlier
this
evening.
I
again,
I
am
with
the
Minnesota
immigrants
rights
action
committee
to
continue
to
push
for
a
program
of
justice
for
safety
of
immigrants
to
Minneapolis.
AP
I'd
first
like
to
thank
the
council
for
what
they
for
doing
what
is
right
and
adding
funds
for
immigration
expenses
into
the
city
budget.
Our
hope
is
that,
with
this
offer,
we'll
offer
a
vital
Lifeline
for
high
cost
of
being
an
immigrant
in
the
U.S.
This
is
a
victory
for
immigrants
here
and
hopefully
other
cities
in
Minnesota
will
follow
in
creating
such
programs
available
following
your
such
creating
programs
available
to
their
immigrant
residents.
AP
On
the
other
hand,
the
municipal
ID,
we
do
want
to
express
our
utter
disappointment
to
the
council
members
who
voted
against
the
funding
for
its
implementation.
Initial
Hades
was
passed,
I
believe
in
2018,
but
nothing
was
ever
implemented,
so
it
had
already
tested
organ
ordinance
and
it
is
a
slap
in
the
face
from
Council
Members,
rainville,
Vita,
Goodman,
Jenkins,
Koski,
Johnson
and
palamiso,
because
this
is
a
popular
program
amongst
our
community
across
all
Wards
and
is
beyond
the
Immigrant
communities.
We've
had
very
very
speakers
speak
about
the
unhoused.

Hello,
Miguel
Hernandez,
my
family
lives
in
Ward,
8.
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
mirac,
and
also
for
immigrants
who
can't
be
here
to
speak,
who
don't
just
don't
believe
they
can
speak
because
they're
not
being
represented,
I
speak
directly
to
or
date
City
councilor
Jenkins.
You
have
shown
multiple
times
that
you
do
not
stand
with
immigrants.
You
voted
that
way.
You
voted
for
against
municipality
and
the
funding
that
has
happened
this
just
this
week.
AQ
I
spoke
with
a
handful
of
you
about
it
or
with
your
offices
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
time.
I
spoke
with
City
concert,
Vita,
specifically
with
you,
and
we
shared
about
the
things
that
happen
to
immigrants
and
you
voted
against.
Municiple
ID
I
do
not
appreciate,
as
a
group
being
told
that
one
thing
would
happen
in
another.
Doesn't
I
would
like
to
continue
this
work?

Good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Jacqueline
Zhang
I'm,
a
resident
of
ward,
3
and
I'm,
testifying
on
behalf
of
Asian
American
organizing
project,
a
nonpartisan
non-profit,
led
by
young
Asian
Americans
concentrated
in
Wards
two
four
and
five
I'm
here
today.
To
tell
you
about
the
ways
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
impacts,
young
Asian,
Americans
Asian
Americans
are
currently
the
least
likely
out
of
all
bipod
groups
to
report
hate
crimes
to
the
police,
one
in
three
Hmong
Americans
in
Minnesota
report
being
discriminated
by
the
police.
AR
For
the
past
six
months,
a
team
of
young
researchers
at
aop
have
been
talking
to
Asians
on
the
ground
about
their
experience
of
MPD.
We've
heard
stories
of
dehumanizing
arrests
for
peaceful
protesting,
physical
abuse
by
officers
and
racial
stereotyping.
Public
safety
policy
should
be
Community,
Based
and
data-driven,
and
increasing
mpd's
budget
is
neither
more
representation.
AR
More
cops
and
better
training
will
never
fundamentally
heal
and
protect
our
communities
fund
us
not
more
cops
and
see
how
we
can
Thrive
we're
calling
for
increased
funding
for
the
office
of
violence,
prevention,
youth
programs
and
behavioral
crisis
response
teams,
as
young
people
who
will
bear
the
brunt
of
the
consequences
of
the
worsening
climate
crisis.
We're
also
calling
for
climate
plans
like
the
Minneapolis,
Green,
New,
Deal
and
just
transition
fund
to
be
fully
funded.
AR
Lastly,
I
want
to
call
for
a
participatory
budgeting
process
so
that
Asian
Americans
were
often
overlooked
and
ignored
by
politicians
can
have
their
voices
heard
in
2020
and
beyond.
Our
city
had
the
opportunity
to
radically
reimagine
community
safety
and
racial
Justice
in
ways
that
no
other
city
in
America
has
we
had
the
opportunity
to
adopt
Innovative
and
community-led
Public
Safety
policies
and
be
a
national
leader
in
these
initiatives.
AR
I
think
many
of
those
here
today
would
agree
that
we
have
largely
failed
in
this
I
understand
that
it
is
easy
to
protect
the
status
quo,
but
the
status
quo
is
killing
our
community.
In
this
last
stretch
of
the
budgeting
process,
I
hope
you
will
consider
Funding
community-based
Solutions
that
will
give
us
the
return,
the
resources
to
protect
and
care
for
each
other.
Thank
you.
AS
and
I'm
here
today
in
solidarity
with
the
Minnesota
immigrant
rights
action
committee
I'm
here
in
adamant's,
support
of
their
fight
for
justice
and
safety
for
immigrants
in
the
city.
Mirak
has
previously
raised
demands
to
fund
the
implementation
of
Municipal
ID
and
create
a
fund
for
immigrant
immigration
related
expenses
for
Minneapolis
immigrants,
including
DACA
renewals,
at
prior
budgetary
meetings.
AS
These
demands
have
large-scale
support
among
the
people
of
the
city,
one
of
those
proposals
you
have
passed
already,
that
for
adding
funds
for
DACA,
renewals
and
other
vital
funding
to
advance
immigrants,
rights
in
the
city
to
the
city,
budget
and
I.
Thank
those
of
the
city
council
who
passed
this
as
for
municipal
ID.
I
am
truly
and
utterly
disappointed
and
ashamed,
and
the
council
members
who
voted
against
the
funding
of
its
implementation,
especially
after
it
has
already
been
previously
passed
in
2018,
but
remains
to
be
implemented
and
funded.
AS
When
this
demand
is
rooted
in
the
people
has
support
among
immigrant
communities
in
this
city
and
Beyond,
and
you
stand
in
the
way,
no
matter
what
empty
phrases,
thoughts
and
prayers
you
share
on
the
issue.
If
you
continue
to
stand
in
the
way
of
Justice
on
this
issue,
you
make
clear
that
you
do
not
serve
the
people
of
this
city.
Thank
you.

But
this
Council
still
chooses
to
not
acknowledge
the
fact
that
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
has
done
more
harm
than
good
I've.
Personally,
I
live
in
Ward

Council,

I've
personally
seen

other
programs
such
as
we
push

do
more
in

last

in

Very
dear,
a
very
dear

mine,
Kevon
was
murdered
on
Broadway
in
an
attempt
to
apprehend
someone
who
had
committed
a
hit
and
run
and
killed
like
not
killed

injured.
A
young

and
her

The
person
who
murdered
Kevin

apprehended
by

I
also
seen
older

in
a

run
that
was
not
apprehended
by
Minneapolis
Police.
We
pushed
for

apprehended
this
person
also,
but
Minneapolis
city
council
pushes
to
fund
a
murderous
police
department,
but
not
invest
in
community.
Thank
you.
AU
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Kristen
Crabtree
I
use
she
her
pronouns
and
I
live
in
Powderhorn
neighborhood
on
Ward
9.
I'm
here
as
a
parent
in
Minneapolis
and
as
a
victim
Survivor
of
assault,
domestic
violence
as
well
as
robbery
at
gunpoint
and
direct
targeted
harassment
by
MPD
and
yes,
I
have
the
badge
numbers
and
the
names
of
the
officers
from
the
third
precinct
that
have
done
it
and
finally,
I'm
a
Survivor
of
navigating
oppressive
Justice
systems
that
survivors
of
crime
are
often
forced
to
work
through
and
that
was
created
to
serve.
AU
Not
people
like
me,
but
people
with
money
and
property.
The
reductions
in
mpd's
2023
budget
that
have
been
proposed
are
a
small
portion
of
the
195
million
proposed
by
mayor
Jacob
fry.
The
proposed
2023
budget
is
still
larger
than
the
187
million
allocated
to
the
Department
of
2022,
so
I
want
to
level
set
us
all
in
the
facts.
It
is
our
job
to
care
for
one
another
I'm
here
to
express
support
for
council
member
wansley's
proposed
amendment
to
divert
funding
from
the
peace
Pathways
program
under
to
the
victim
Services
study
and
pilot
program
under
PMI.
AU
This
is
not
a
cut,
as
Minneapolis
has
other
recruitment
programs
and
the
Explorers
program,
which
resulted
in
abuse
towards
our
young
people
is
defunct.
We
have
a
pending
consent
degree.
We
have
a
Department
of
Human
Rights
findings,
not
to
mention
two
MPS
graduates
who
experienced
abuse
at
the
hands
of
our
officers
in
the
Explorers
program
when
they
were
young
and
in
high
school.
Those
two
have
been
public
about
this
and
testified
multiple
times
before
this
body.
AU
Mpd
simply
does
not
have
its
house
in
order.
It
is
not
appropriate
nor
wise
to
bring
this
program
into
our
schools.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
it
is
irresponsible,
it
is
dangerous
and
it
ensures
perpetuation
of
violent,
abusive
practices
towards
our
children.
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
that
Amendment
and
do
what's
right.
AV
AV
I
was
a
member
and
president
of
the
Armitage
neighborhood
association
for
15
years
and
for
six
years,
I
represented
Southwest
Minneapolis.
As
an
elected
member
of
the
neighborhood
community
engagement
commission,
our
neighborhood
associations.
As
many
past
and
present
council
members
can
attest,
provided
invaluable
opportunity
for
Minneapolis
residents
to
participate
within
and
improve
their
neighborhoods
serve
as
a
first
step
to
holding
elected
office
and
work
as
Liaisons
between
Minneapolis
residents
and
their
government,
and
they
provide
the
city
with
countless
volunteer
hours
to
help
it
achieve
its
many
goals.
AV
As
a
recent
Star
Tribune
article
described
at
the
current
and
requested
future
funding
levels,
most
neighborhood
associations
will
cease
to
exist.
Granted
some
neighborhood
associations
will
continue
a
self-funded
entity
entities,
but
most
particularly
those
in
neighborhoods
who
need
their
associations.
The
most
will
vanish.
As
someone
who
participated
in
the
neighborhood's
2020
process,
including
interviewing
neighborhood
leaders
from
Saint
Paul
to
Seattle,
who
always
said
we
want
what
you
have
I
saw
how
Minneapolis
residents
want
to
need
their
associations
and
know
that
if
we
lose
them,
we'll
never
get
them
back.
AV
Granted.
Neighborhood
associations
are
not
perfect,
but
I
believe
the
problems
that
they're
trying
to
solve
are
city-wide
problems,
not
just
neighborhood
issues.
Issues
and
the
city
should
not
starve
the
very
associations
that
work
so
hard
with
so
few
resources
to
help
the
city
achieve
its
goals
and
I
also
want
to
mention
that
tomorrow
is
the
81st
anniversary
of
Pearl
Harbor.
Thank
you.

Hello,
my
name
is
Jay
Randolph
I'm,
the
director
of
neighborhood
and
organizational
development
at
the
Phillips
West
neighborhood
organization,
and
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
the
proposed
budget
could
affect
the
stability
of
the
70
plus
neighborhood
organizations
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
as
well
as
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
in
the
city.
This
proposed
budget
could
potentially
set
back
the
work
of
many
manyapolis
neighborhood
organizations
from
Community
Gardens
to
rental
discounts
to
housing
loans.
That's
what's
at
stake
in
this
budget.
AW
What
we
are
seeing
now
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
is
yet
another
wave
of
defunding
of
these
programs
that
were
already
defunded
and
independently
operated
through
neighborhoods.
The
Phillips
West
neighborhood
organization
is
not
against
nor
in
favor
of
the
proposed
directive.
However,
we
do
request
that
neighborhood
organizations
are
included
in
this
review
because
we
know
our
programs
better
than
anyone
else.
We
know
that
our
what
our
community
members
want
and
how
to
build
towards
those
goals.
AW
We
ask
for
a
transparent
review
process,
should
this
directive
be
approved
and
to
be
included
in
every
stage
of
this
review,
We
Believe
in
our
continued
partnership
with
the
city
and
the
council,
and
hope
that
we
can
all
come
together
to
find
a
solution
for
the
issues
that
neighborhood
organizations
have
been
facing
due
to
budget
cuts
for
years,
it's
time
to
invest
in
the
self-determination
of
neighborhoods
and
center,
the
voices
of
those
who
already
reside
there.
Thank
you.
A
A
I
do
want
to
sincerely
thank
everyone
who
came
tonight
and
participated
in
these
public
hearings,
including
all
of
those
who
chastise
many
of
my
myself
and
my
colleagues
about
the
ways
that
we
take
our
votes.
We
appreciate
your
engagement
in
this
really
important
work
because
it
helps
to
move
our
community
forward
at
this
time.

Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
was
going
to
see
if
our
director
of
Public
Works
was
here,
but
I
do
not
see
her
right
now.
I'm,
not
sure.
Oh
I
see
her
saying
somebody's
saying
that
she's
coming
I'd
just
like
to
ask
her
a
couple
questions.
So
if
we
could
just
give
her
a
moment,
I
see
she
has
arrived
been
a
busy
day
for.
D
BA
Madam
president
councilman
murkowski
and
council
members,
I
appreciate
councilmember,
wansley
being
so
passionate
about
this
issue.
However,
doing
this
in
this
way
to
really
allocate
within
the
Public
Works
budget
earmarking,
essentially
the
money
within
Public
Works
budget
will
mean
again
that
there
are
things
that
we
will
not
be
able
to
do
so.
I
think
this
is
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
item
and
that
is
approximately
two
service
worker
positions
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
fill.
BA
Then
this
coming
year,
which
we
are
trying
to
get
back
to
what
I
would
say,
is
pre-pandemic
levels
in
our
service
levels.
The
Department
of
Public
Works
is
very
interested
in
continuing
to
develop.
This
idea
and
pilot
around
snow
and
ice
clearance
called
a
snow
ambassador
program,
but
we
are
not
ready
to
do
that,
yet
it
needs
Capital
cost
to
it
for
both
equipment.
BA
It
has
potentially
ongoing
not
just
one
time
but
ongoing
Personnel
costs,
and
so
the
effect
of
this
amendment
is
a
reallocation
cut
to
what
we
plan
on
doing
in
the
next
two
years,
and
although
we
we
commit
to
continuing
to
work
on
this
idea
going
forward,
that's
what
we
presented
in
the
public
works
committee
last
week,
the
full.
What
we
think
is
the
total
for
one
year
of
this
program
is
218
000
in
ongoing
expenses
and
at
least
4
forty
five
thousand
dollars
in
equipment.
G
D
Yeah,
nothing
else
for
you,
director,
I,
just
wanted
to
note.
You
know
to
my
colleagues
as
chair
of
the
budget
committee
I
set
due
dates
for
all
draft
amendments
and
final
amendments
to
ensure
that
all
amendments
were
prepared
before
and
ready
to
for
consideration
at
the
markup
meetings.
The
budget
director
made
herself
available
to
meet
with
council
members
to
review
draft
amendments
starting
October,
27th
and
cons.
D
Members
were
to
meet
with
the
budget
director
by
November
22nd
to
review
draft
amendments
and
were
to
submit
final
amendments
to
the
budget
director
and
I
by
November
23rd
at
5
PM.
The
due
dates
have
passed
and
our
markup
meetings
have
passed.
This
amendment
is
being
brought
before
the
city
council
after
market
meetings,
with
less
than
24
hours
notice
at
the
city
council
meeting
in
which
we
are
set
to
adopt
the
2023
budget.
The
budget
director,
the
City
attorney
the
city
clerk's
office,
have
had
less
than
24
hours
to
review
the
amendment.
D
AY
Where
we
can
talk
about
Capital,
Improvement
Staffing,
we
will
actually
have
some
data
to
know
what
it
will
look
like
to
run
a
municipal
program.
This
came
from
our
own
staff
in
our
limbs
in
the
game.
This
is
on.
This
came
from
them
on
October
19th.
It
came
from
them
again
just
last.
Thursday
and
I
also
want
to
correct
the
comment
that
councilmemberkowski
raised
about
this
coming
in
after
markup.
AY
On
October
19th,
one
of
the
explicit
commitments
that
I
asked
of
our
Public
Works
leadership
is:
could
we
also
have
a
financial
analysis
of
what
a
pilot
program
could
cost
in
preparation,
specifically
for
Budget
markup?
That
financial
analysis
was
not
provided
until
December
1st
right
after
we
finish
budget
markup,
so
last
Thursday.
AY
There's
no
legislative
rule
anywhere
that
says,
Council
cannot
bring
walk-on
items
on
on
in
moments
like
this
before
a
vote,
so
I
also
want
to
push
back
on
that,
but
nevertheless
that
is
the
reason
why
AI
I'm,
bringing
forward
this
moment
and
knowing
that
we
just
got
a
financial
analysis
with
a
recommendation
from
our
own
staff
to
do
a
pilot
analysis
in
2023
just
last
Thursday,
so
just
reflecting
ongoing
work,
ongoing
conversations.
None
of
this
is
surprising.
We've
literally
been
doing
a
public
works
work
plan
since
the
beginning
of
the
Fall.
AY
We
have
the
study
session
October
19th,
which
also
yielded
a
presentation
for
the
public
on
December
1st
I'm,
really
proud
of
that
work,
and
this
is
just
codifying
those
commitments
that
our
Public
Works
leadership
said
they
were
already
going
to
do
with
existing
resources.
In
that
study
session.
Our
commissioner
Margaret
Anderson
Keller
here
named
that
we
could
use
existing
resources
to
strengthen
clearance
of
The
Pedestrian
priority
Network.
AY
They
also
named
that
we
could
be
looking
at
how
we
can
explore
Pilots
that
would
strengthen
infrastructure
and
we're
also
an
ice
removal
for
residents
with
disabilities
as
well
as
residents
who
are
singers.
So
this
is
all
again
work
that
our
own
staff
has
recommended
as
a
council
member
I'm,
just
literally
coming
through
on
the
back
end
and
saying
hey,
you
have
a
15
million
dollar
plus
budget.
AY
Here's
a
way
to
earmark
some
existing
resources
to
do
the
work
that
you
say
you
can
do
in
2023,
so
that
we
can
have
a
more
comprehensive
analysis
to
better
plan
for
a
larger
program
in
2024..
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
some
of
those
Corrections
on
the
record
and
name
that
this
work
has
been
happening
for
several
months
and
is
not
last
minute.
BB
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
have
been
a
huge
proponent,
around
sidewalk
snow
and
ice
clearance
over
the
years
and
continue
to
be
and
have
worked
with
the
Department
on
how
we
improve
this
and
I
wish.
This
was
an
amendment
that
I
could
support
tonight.
If
we
had
a
different
Source
on
this,
it
would
be
one
that
I
could
support.
I
don't
feel
like
I
can
support
this,
though,
because
it's
an
earmark
within
the
Department's
general
fund.
Frankly,
if
we
start
taking
that
approach,
there
would
be
a
lot
of
earmarks
of
Department
funding.
BB
That
I
think
all
of
us
would
bring
forward
on
this,
and
you
know
well,
an
amendment
adds
some
certainty
around.
A
pilot.
I
will
also
say
that
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
paths
still
open
to
us
for
a
pilot,
whether
that's
working
within
discretionary,
that
we
have
left
over
whether
that's
working
with
our
partners
within
Community,
who
have
stepped
up
time
and
again
to
provide
city
funding
for
different
projects,
whether
that's
doing
bench
testing
at
a
much
smaller
scale,
which
we
can
learn
from
and
then
really
inform
a
pilot
moving
forward.
BB
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
options
open
to
continue
advancing
this
work
without
having
the
consequence
of
impacting
other
important,
vital
city
services.
So
that's
why
I
personally
won't
be
supporting
this
motion
today
and
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
really
carefully
consider
our
Public
Works
directors
thoughts
on
this.
BB
We
want
to
ensure
that
our
department
leaders
have
the
resources
they
need
to
needed
to
deliver
on
the
services
that
our
residents
expect
and
I
certainly
think
it's
appropriate
for
the
council,
as
a
body
to
figure
out
how
we
get
improved
sidewalks
known
ice
clearance.
I.
Just
don't
think
this
particular
strategy
from
a
financial
decision
standpoint
is
the
right
approach.
Thank
you.
H
H
Just
you
know.
During
markup
we
passed
two
amendments
that
I
can
think
of
off
the
top
of
my
head,
in
which,
in
a
13-0
vote
this
body
decided
to
earmark
money
within
an
existing
Department.
One
of
those
was
an
amendment
that
I
authored
earmarking
additional
money
for
neighborhood
traffic
calming
within
the
public
works
department,
and
at
that
time
none
of
us
were
concerned
with
this,
because
this
department
has
a
large
enough
budget
that
we
can
use
its
existing
dollars.
H
Its
existing
allocation
to
set
aside
a
tiny
fraction
of
its
budget
for
a
project
that
matters
to
us
and
to
our
constituents
and
I'm
excited
to
support
it.
I'm
really
thankful
that
we
are
are
going
to
move
forward
with
this
work
and
take
it
to
the
next
step
and
like
ready
to
move
on
to
the
to
the
next
one.
After
this.
AY
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yes
I
just
want
to
also
just
correct
for
the
record
again
what
I'm,
bringing
for
is
literally
a
reflection
of
what
Public
Works
have
named
publicly
as
recommendations
on
how
to
move
forward.
They
recommend
it.
Let's
do
a
pilot
analysis
for
2023
to
really
get
a
sense
of
how
we
can
roll
out
a
successful
program
in
2024
the
things
that
councilmember
Johnson
just
named.
AY
We
can't
do
any
analysis,
data
metrics
without
a
pilot
period
to
evaluate-
and
we
need
to
earmark
the
resources
that
again
on
public
record,
are
Public
Works
leadership
name.
They
were
planning
to
do
anyways,
so
I
just
want
to
name
I'm.
This
amendment
is
reflective
of
many
of
the
commitments
that's
in
these
limbs
presentations
that
our
staff
has
said
that
they're
ready
to
do,
and
also
thank
you,
council,
member
Chuck
Tai,
for
highlighting
how
this
Falls
in
alignment
with
presidents
is
that
we
set
with
the
markup
around
the
one
that
you
brought
forward.
AY
BA
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
that
Public
Works
provided
the
number
last
week
at
committee,
but
we
also
were
very
clear
I.
Remember
it
very
clearly:
I
had
a
exchange
with
council
member
Payne
about
this
that
we
really
need
new
resources
to
start
a
new
program.
This
is
not
something
it's
different
than
neighborhood
traffic
calming
which
we
have
been
doing
and
we
have
a
program
around.
This
is
a
brand
new
program
and
we
need
new
resources,
not
carving
out
money
out
of
our
current
budget.
A
AY
AZ
D
G
A
BC
Think
it
comes
to
president
Jenkins
I
just
wanted
to
share
my
reasoning
of
why
I'm
supporting
this
amendment
I
received
a
lot
of
calls
and
emails
just
when
we
had
the
snow
emergency
from
residents
in
ward,
6
and
Ward
9
saying
how
we
need
to
support
like
cleaning
our
roads
from
all
this
snow.
So
people
with
disabilities
can
roll,
so
people
can
walk,
and
so
people
aren't
being
hit
by
all
these
cars
that
are
driving
recklessly.
So
in
a
public
works.
The
Public
Works
briefing
that
we
have
in
that
room
over
there.
BC
There
was
conversations
that
we
can
use
current
Public
Works
dollars
to
redirect
These
funds
into
this
pilot
program.
That
conversation
was
said
out
loud.
We
can
watch
the
hearing,
it
was
made
public
and
this
simply
just
guarantees
that
we
can
actually
make
sure
that
this
program
that
we're
talking
about
actually
happens
next
year.
So
with
that
I,
don't
think
anybody
else
is
going
to
speak
and
we
can
just
take
the
boat.
A
F
B
AZ
AZ
They
got
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars,
total
Opera
funding
and
so
I
think
you
know
we
really
need
to
vote
with
our
values
here,
really
prioritize
some
of
the
needs
of
the
workers.
We've
heard
from
a
lot
of
workers
today
and
around
some
of
the
harms
that
do
exist
out
there
and
I
think
making
ongoing
investment
in
the
enforcement
of
the
worker
protections
that
we
have
passed
as
a
body
is
going
to
really
reflect
those
values
strongly.
So
I
ask
for
your
support
today
and
I.
A
BD
BD
It's
helping
those
folks
imagine
coming
to
a
strange
country
that
you
don't
speak
their
language.
Now
you
get
to
make
a
living,
and
but
you
don't
know
your
rights,
you
don't
know
your
loss.
My
office
gets
money.
Contacts
money
calls
a
couple
weeks
ago.
I
got
a
call,
someone
who
got
fired
or
no
any
no
due
process
at
all
they're,
not
a
union
but
my
office.
How
can
I
help
those
folks?
You
know?
BD
You
know
it
will
be
helpful.
We
already
fund
organizations
that
protect
tenants
rights.
You
know
eviction
prevention.
This
is
almost
similar
even
greater
to
have
a
co-inforcement
organizations
to
really
do
a
Labor
Standard
enforcement
decision.
We
have
money
money,
immigrants
in
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
the
state
of
Minnesota.
Look
at
the
data.
Immigrants
bring
so
much
value
to
the
state
and
to
the
city,
it's
time
for
our
laws,
and
our
budget
reflects
on
that.
So
please,
my
colleagues
support
this
I
know
we
don't
all
agree
where
the
source
is
coming
from.
BD
BE
BE
I
support
this
motion
today,
I
really
want
to
pre
I,
really
want
to
appreciate
the
authors.
For
you
know,
working
with
me,
working
with
everyone
to
to
figure
out
an
appropriate
source
and
I
know
that
there
is
a
feeling
that
this
is
a
can
that
we
can
kick
down
the
road
a
little
bit.
A
little
bit
away
is
if
I
felt
that
way.
I
wouldn't
have
asked
us
to
bring
this
back
today.
BE
I
would
have
just
voted
against
it,
the
day
of,
but
I
think
that
this
isn't
a
can
that
we
shouldn't
that
we
should
be
kicking
down.
The
road
I
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
this
has
ongoing
funding
now,
and
we
should
secure
that
now
and
so.
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
join
me
as
somebody
who
was
not
fully
in
support
of
the
previous
motion.
D
V
Madam
president
councilmemberkowski
I
think
we're
we're
at
a
point
in
Human
Resources,
where
they,
just
they
do
have
a
high
vacancy
rate.
I
will
acknowledge
that
the
problem
is
is
that
we
really
need
to
continue
some
of
these
new
positions,
or
some
of
these
positions
were
designated
to
do
things
like
work
on
the
audit
findings
that
we
just
had.
There
were
a
lot
of
audit
findings
for
those
of
you
on.
The
audit
committee
are
very
aware
of
that.
V
As
you
all
know,
we
can't
continue
to
move
forward
on
our
other
initiatives
unless
we
can
start
getting
our
human
resources
department
functioning
at
a
high
level
and
they
are
functioning
it
as
much
as
they
can
at
a
very
high
level,
given
their
low
Staffing
levels
and
I.
Think
that
an
additional
cut
at
this
point
in
time
will
be
very
challenging
for
the
Department,
especially
given
that
we
would
like
to
dedicate
those
resources
to
some
of
these
new
audit
findings
to
really
improve
our
processes
and
move
the
department
forward.
V
We
have
a
new
leader,
hopefully
coming
in
in
January,
and
we
don't
want
to
hamstring
that
person
as
they're
trying
to
move
the
department
forward,
so
it
would
I
think
it
would
be
very
difficult.
We
certainly
have
a
supplemental
budget
coming
up
next
year,
so
we
don't
have
to
wait
two
full
years
in
order
to
ensure
ongoing
funding.
My
understanding
is
that
this
initiative
is
funded
through
arpa
funds
for
the
next
two
years,
and
so
we
could
still
make
the
the
council
could
still
make
the
decision
to
have
ongoing
funding
before
that
funding
runs
out.
D
Thank
you
may
ask
just
a
quick
follow-up.
Yes,
and
this
might
be
to
the
to
the
budget
director
Emilia
criver,
if
you
kind
of
alluded
a
little
bit
to
this
already
interim
Court
capacity
coordinator,
but
I'm
curious.
If
you
could
just
speak
to
the
arpa
funding
that
has
been
allocated
to
co-enforcement
and
then
what
has
been
allocated
for
2023
for
call
enforcement
as.
I
Well,
yep
president
Jenkins
and
chairkovsky
council
members,
so
for
co-enforcement
within
the
Department
of
Civil
Rights,
we
have
182
000
in
ongoing
funds
in
23
and
onward
in
the
budget
out
of
our
general
fund.
We
also
appropriated
in
June
through
the
arpa
phase,
two
process,
750
000
for
co-enforcement,
and
that
money
has
to
be
spent
before
the
end
of
2024
and
I.
Believe
staff
and
civil
rights
are
getting
ready
to
bring
that
RFP
through
in
the
next
couple
weeks.
I
So
those
funds
haven't
been
spent
yet
but
are
sort
of
in
in
motion
on
their
way
out
the
door
to
be
rfped
in
the
current
year
in
2022,
the
co-enforcement
and
civil
rights
has
369
thousand
dollars
in
the
general
fund
budget
and
that's
the
amount
that
councilmember
Payne's
Amendment
would
bring
them
up
to,
and
so
the
so
there's
the
current
general
fund
going
down
to
182
000
in
the
budget.
But
that's
750
000
of
arpa
funds
is
also
was
appropriated
this
year
and
can
be
spent
through
the
end
of
2024.
BC
Council
president
Jenkins,
thank
you.
People
of
color
and
immigrants
are
always
told
to
wait.
Their
turn
I
want
to
thank
councilmember,
Payne
and
councilman
Osman
for
working
with
community
and
for
funding
the
funds.
For
this
you
worked
longer.
You
worked
long
hours
and
went
through
many
different
versions.
To
get
this
to
a
better
place.
BC
BC
BC
BC
BC
Council
president
Jenkins
and
myself
share
border
over
satul
is
the
tool
is
in
the
board
of
Ward
8
and
Ward
9
in
the
south
side
of
Minneapolis,
just
for
everybody
to
know
and
I'm
proud
to
support
the
south
side
of
Minneapolis.
By
supporting
this
amendment,
reporting
workers
cannot
be
kicked
down
the
road
when
we
have
the
resource
to
do
it
today
and
right
now,
in
this
body,
no
one
should
ever
be
round
from
a
check.
BC
BC
AZ
AZ
We
need
to
start
putting
the
most
marginalized
people
first
in
our
decision-making
process
and
I.
Think
everybody
on
this
Deus
agrees
that
we
want
a
very
strong
HR
capability
in
the
enterprise.
We
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
challenges
there
and
that's
reflected
in
the
Investments
that
we've
given
HR
through
arpa
as
well
again:
seven
million
dollars
in
one
Amendment
1.5
million
dollars
in
another
amendment
in
arpa
funds.
AZ
That
is
a
reflection
of
our
commitment
to
supporting
our
HR
department
and
helping
to
navigate
through
what
is
a
Black
Swan
event
when
it
comes
to
any
organization
having
to
absorb
uncertainty
and
I.
Think
that
we've
met
that
uncertainty
with
our
investments
earlier
this
year
with
arpa
funds
and
so
I'm
very
committed
to
finding
new
Revenue
sources
to
fund
this
type
of
work.
I'm
just
asking
us
to
prioritize
our
most
marginalized
community
members.
H
Figuring
this
out
and
the
reality
is,
there's
no
good
place
to
take
money
from
and
it's
hard,
no
matter
what
we
choose
to
do,
and
you
know
we
have
a
large
vacancy
rate
in
HR
and
we've
made
massive
massive
arpa
investments
in
HR
and
I'm,
not
saying
HR
is
not
important,
I'm,
not
saying
we
need
to
get
in
the
way
of
fully
Staffing.
It
I'm
saying
that
we
have
some
of
the
strongest
labor
Protections
in
the
city.
H
There
has
been
a
compelling
reason
for
us
to
not
dedicate
larger,
ongoing
funding
to
this,
and
we
can
do
that
right
now,
without
significant
burdens
to
our
existing
work
and
without
getting
in
the
way
of
of
you,
know
important
programs
or
policies
that
that
that
money
is
accounted
for.
It's
200,
it's
less
than
200
000
I,
think
we
I
think
we
can
make
do
and
I
think
we
can
get
co-enforcement
up
and
show
that
this
is
an
ongoing
program
that
we
take
really
seriously.
This
is
work
that
matters
to
us.
Thank
you.
H
G
D
I'm
bringing
forward
this
legislative
directive
so
that
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
can
work
together
towards
the
goal
of
ongoing
funding
for
the
co-enforcement
program
in
the
2024
budget.
I
am
fully
supportive
of
the
co-enforcement
program
and
I
believe
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
are
as
well
so
I'm
hopeful
that
in
taking
time
to
do
an
assessment
and
consider
all
options
for
sustainable
ongoing
funding,
we
can
find
a
way
forward
that
we
can
all
support.
BC
Q
I
think
yes,
thank
you.
President
trumpets
I
just
have
a
few
questions
for
a
customer
cost
on
this
legislative
directive.
Customer
costly.
Can
you
help
me
understand
the
difference
between
console
number
wansley,
bringing
forward
an
amendment
that
you
said
she
couldn't
because
it
was
last
minute
and
this
legislative
directive
that
we
just
found
out
about
right
now.
D
D
BC
Then
and
I
can't
think
of
customer
classic
and
then
did
you
work
on
this
legislative
director
with
both
authors
or
customer
Osman
and
council.
Member
pan
and
I
want
to
be
clear.
I
support
this
legislative
directive,
but
it
just
felt
like
the
previous
Amendment
failed
for
ongoing
funding
now,
because
this
was
brought
forward
at
the
last
minute,
which
I
support
but
I'm
just
I'm
just
wondering
what
work
was
done
to
work
with
the
authors
of
the
previous
amendment
to
bring
this
forward.
D
Thank
you.
Customer
Chavez
I
did
speak
to
councilman
Osman
and
let
him
know
I
was
bringing
this
forward
and
later
this
afternoon,
I
did
talk
to
councilmember
Payne,
but
we
did
not
work
collaboratively
on
this.
I
did
have
a
discussion
about
you
know
the
ACT
their
amendments
together,
but
then
brought
this
and
and
brought
this
forward
to
make
sure
that,
if
indeed
there's
were
not
to
pass
that,
we
still
were
doing
the
work
to
make
sure
that
I
think
the
end
goal
of
the
continued
and
ongoing
funding
still
happens.
All.
BC
Right
and
one
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
consider
Casio
I
am
very
supportive
of
this
I
think
it
is
really
important
that
we
do
this
I
just
think
it
would
have
been
great
to
pass
a
member
of
the
customer
awesome.
Customer
Payne
worked
on
together,
along
with
this,
to
make
sure
that
we
can
move
forward
together.
BE
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
think
in
general.
My
first
reaction
is
that
this
is
something
that
I
would
support,
but
it
does
feel
a
little
bit
like
not
the
appropriate
venue.
I
think
councilman
murkowski
described
it
as
a
reaction,
and
it
feels
much
like
a
reaction.
I
know
that
something
like
this
usually
would
have
a
lot
of
Department
involvement
or
would
be
maybe
referred
to
a
specific
committee.
BE
You
know:
I
know
that
when
we've
raised
rates
in
the
past,
for
you
know
for
different
things,
housing
related
fees,
whatever
those
things
have
come
through.
What
is
now
the
biz
committee.
I
know
that
there's
an
element,
the
co-enforcement
element
certainly
has
a
I,
could
see
a
space,
a
PHS
for
this,
and
so
just
sort
of
wondering
if
this,
if
this
is
the
right,
Avenue
or
if
the
appropriate
parties
have
been
involved
to
help
craft,
this
I'll
probably
support
it
either
way.
BE
AY
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
name
why
I'm
not
supporting
this
legislative
directive,
I,
think
community
members,
especially
workers
who
are
very
explicit
in
what
they
asked
us
to
support.
They
asked
us
to
support
allocations
for
co-enforcement.
They
didn't
ask
us
to
study
it.
It's
very
clear.
They
know
what
the
issue
is.
We
need
to
allocate
money
which
they
asked
us
to
do
that.
Council,
member
Payne
and
Osman
brought
forward
to
reflect
that
very
explicit
ass.
AY
That
I
know
many
of
the
workers
who
have
been
at
both
public
hearings
and
have
met
with
many
of
you
that
ask
you
to
step
in
up
and
do
this.
They
asked
us
to
give
them
Pepsi,
and
this
legislative
directive
is
getting
them
Sam's,
color
from
Dollar
General.
That
is
not
what
they
asked
for.
So
I
will
not
be
supporting
this.
AY
We
don't
have
to
continue
this
theme
of
being
our
thoughts
and
prayers
Council
when
community
members
are
asking
us
to
honor
commitments-
and
this
has
been
an
ongoing
commitment
for
quite
some
time
so
I
will
not
be
supporting.
This
will
love
to
see
us
in
another
time.
Maybe
human
resources,
which
I
will
name
every
department,
has
discretionary
budgets
that
they're
going
to
be
tapping
into
next
year
to
do
whatever
they
want.
So
they
can
most
definitely
bring
forward
this.
C
C
Member
Koski
actually
took
the
time
to
reach
out
to
me
as
someone
who
chairs
Biz
and
ask
me
about
business,
license
fees
as
a
specific
source,
and
it
seems
to
me
that,
although
we
generally
don't
want
to
be
punitive
businesses
that
have
trouble
treating
their
workers
right
should
be
held
accountable
and
that
potentially
would
be
a
good
future
Source
going
forward.
So
I
appreciate
councilmember
koski's,
thoughtful
response
to
this,
because
she
not
only
reinforced
that
the
ongoing
money
is
there.
She
reinforced
a
very
large
amount
of
one-time
money.
C
Is
there
she
came
up
with
a
potential
source
to
fund
this
in
the
future
and
followed
the
process,
as
we've
been
directed
with
these
staff
directions
that
are
now
called
legislative
directions.
So
I
think
her
intent
was
fair.
Not
many
people
talk
to
me
about
their
budget
amendments
or
staff
directions,
but
councilman
murkowski
did
and
I
am
happy
to
take
this
issue.
Up
In
The
Biz
committee,
especially
given
the
makeup
of
the
committee
that
includes
council
members,
Ellison
and
Osman
I
think
this
is
worthy
of
support.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Goodman
and
I
did
put
myself
in
queue
and
was
going
to
emphasize
some
of
the
the
very
things
that
you
have
named.
We
have
funded
code
enforcement.
There
is
ongoing
funding
for
it
and
we
need
to
figure
out
what
is
the
best
source
of
ongoing
funding
in
the
future,
and
so
we're
not
studying
whether
or
not.
This
is
a
good
idea
to
do
we're,
trying
to
figure
out
what
is
the
best
way
to
fund
this
process.
A
Ongoing
I
happen
to
think
businesses,
nefarious
businesses
that
are
withholding
people's
wages
or
not
paying
them
for
overtime,
etc,
etc,
is
actually
a
a
much
more
appropriate
source
of
ongoing
funding
than
our
severely
challenge
human
resource
department,
which
we
need
in
order
to
even
do
the
work
I
mean.
If
we
want
to
hire
people
to
shovel
the
snow
they
got
to
go
through
HR.
A
AZ
Thank
you,
madam
president,
seeing
as
I
didn't
get
an
opportunity
to
connect
with
councilmember
kosky
on
this
prior
to
it
being
displayed
I'm
wondering
if
the
author
would
accept
a
friendly
Amendment,
a
couple
friendly
amendments,
one
is
I,
don't
think
we
should
narrow
this
just
strictly
to
the
750
000
arpa
funding.
I
think
that
narrowing
statement,
if
we
just
did
a
strikethrough
of
from
the
750
000
arpa
funding
and
we
just
are
assessing
data
and
metrics
resulting
from
the
co-enforcement
program.
AZ
I
think
that
is
just
makes
it
so
that
we're
studying
the
program
and
then
secondarily
to
council
president
and
Council
council
member
Goodman's
point
we
have
ongoing
funding.
The
goal
is
to
find
sustainable
sources
for
increasing
that
allocation
of
ongoing
funding.
So
if
you
would
accept
those
two
amendments,.
D
AZ
BB
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
in
the
interest
of
friendly
amendments,
I
notice
in
here
it's
a
report
back
to
the
budget
committee,
but
I
notice,
Council
member
Goodman
mentioned.
Maybe
the
biz
committee
would
be
willing
to
take
this
up
and
I.
Don't
know
that
the
budget
committee
will
be
meeting
because
special
meetings
so
just
gonna,
throw
that
out
there.
BB
D
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
while
I
I
appreciate
that
I'm
I'm,
a
member
of
the
biz
committee
I'm
more
than
happy
to
have
this,
come
to
a
committee
that
I
would
get
to
work
on
more
closely.
But
co-enforcement
is
a
like.
This
work
lives
in
the
labor
standards,
division,
which
is
a
division
under
our
civil
rights,
Department
Civil
Rights
reports
to
public
health
and
safety,
which
feels
like
the
far
more
appropriate
committee
to
send
this
to
because
we
are
studying
co-enforcement
very
broadly
as
a
as
the
topic
here.
H
D
G
A
B
Madam
president
I
think
it's
assessed
data
and
metrics
on
the
operation
and
performance
of
the
co-enforcement
program
and
assess
options
for
sustainable
ongoing
funding
beyond
the
182
630,
including
the
Civil
Rights
Department's
2023
based
budget,
including,
but
not
limited
to
business.
License
fees
present
the
assessment,
including
an
update
on
the
progress
towards
the
goal
of
increasing
ongoing
funding
for
the
code
enforcement
program
to
the
Minneapolis
city
council's
public
health
and
safety
committee.
No
later
than
May
31st
2023.
BE
Did
just
want
to
ask
the
clerks
real
quick
just
because
there
does
seem
to
be
two
parts
of
this.
One
is
kind
of
policy,
the
other
one
is
funding,
sources
and
I.
Think
a
part
of
the
discussion
has
been
the
the
pa.
The
the
policy
portion
of
this
probably
does
so
is
supposed
to
go
to
PHS,
but
the
funding
discussion
is
probably
going
to
go
through
through
through
business
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
I'm,
not
offering
any
changes
here.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
clarification.
Committees
can
refer
to
other
committees
right.
BE
D
BC
AC
B
President
I
think
I
would
offer
the
following
in
response
to
councilmember
Ellison's
request
or
for
information,
and
that
is
first
and
foremost
the
council
rules
vest
the
responsibility
for
making
referrals
in
the
council.
President
of
the
council
president
makes
referrals
based
on
what
this
body
has
adopted
as
the
subject
matter
jurisdictions
of
its
several
standing
committees.
It's
the
responsibility
of
the
council
president
to
make
those
referrals.
The
body,
of
course,
has
the
ultimate
say
in
where
those
referrals
go.
B
So
if
a
referral
is
made
specific
in
this
directive,
then
that's
where
this
issue
will
go.
Standing
committees
of
course,
have
a
regular
cycle
of
meetings
in
each
two-week
Council
cycle
which
accommodates
business
as
we
have
them.
We
also
know
already
that
the
budget
committee
plans
to
reconvene
next
year
beyond
the
usual
process,
to
take
up
issues
that
that
the
budget
chair
has
indicated
she
is
interested
in
pursuing
and
and
with
the
body's
input.

A
AZ
AY
Yeah,
it's
just
some
follow-up
because
I'm
getting
emails
about
the
vote,
we
just
stuck
around
snow
and
ice.
So
if
you
are
a
senior
with
disability
or
have
disabilities
or
live
in
high
traffic
areas
that
are
not
being
cleared,
please
call
3-1-1.
Also
contact
public
works
with
some
of
your
concerns
that
way,
they
can
record
that
internally
and
hopefully
do
something
about
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
because,
yes,
I
know
this
was
a
clear
ask
from
community
members
that
we
failed
to
rise
to
the
occasion
for
tonight.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
feel
the
need
to
just
say
something
as
we
await
the
results
of
the
Georgia
election.
Thank
you
without
being
reprimanded
by
the
City
attorney
for
saying
that
out
loud
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
all
of
the
new
council
members
on
getting
through
a
process
that
can
be
very
difficult.
It
took
me
about
six
years
to
even
understand
the
city's
budget
process.
I
didn't
serve
on
ways
and
means.
I
wasn't
really
all
that
interested
at
that
time.
C
Let's
say
and
it
seemed
like
we
were
able
to
do
so
with
a
good
level
of
respect
and
admiration
for
each
other
and
I
was
a
bit
worried
about
coming
back
in
person
and
having
this
process
drag
out
and
become
very
negative
and
then
have
a
whole
year
to
work
with
people.
That
could
have
been
very
difficult.
C
But
that
was
not
even
remotely
the
case,
and
so
I
want
to
just
give
a
couple
of
thank
yous,
we'll
start
with
the
council
president,
who
I
think
set
the
meeting
off
tonight
in
a
very
positive
and
loving
and
kind
way,
and
she
reminds
me
all
of
the
time
of
the
importance
and
loving
kindness
in
this
work
and
I'm
really
pleased
with
the
way
that
you
handled
that
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Koski.
C
As
a
new
member
of
the
council,
it's
very
difficult
to
Shepherd
a
process
like
this
forward
and
I
think
you
did
so
with
intelligence,
Grace,
dignity
and
cooperation.
I
appreciate
the
way
you've
handled
it.
You
are
to
be
rewarded.
Your
Council,
your
cop
constituents,
have
no
idea
what
kind
of
work
this
takes
in
order
to
lead
a
process
through
in
a
fair
way,
with
all
of
the
various
council
members
and
I.
C
Congratulate
you
for
that,
and
then
lastly,
I
just
want
to
congratulate
everyone
who
has
worked
on
this
process
from
the
staff
to
the
people
who
came
to
speak
to
all
of
the
council.
Members
who
brought
amendments
I
even
brought
one
for
like
the
first
time
in
many
years,
and
it
I
just
really
will
walk
out
of
here
tonight,
feeling
really
happy
about
what
happened
in
Georgia
and
also
about
this
budget
and
our
imprint
on
it.
C
If
there
was
a
question
about
whether
or
not
we
should
accept
everything
that
the
mayor
wanted,
we
clearly
answered
that
we
have
our
own
ideas
too,
but
we
accepted
a
lot
of
what
the
mayor
wanted
as
well
and
so
I
feel
like.
It
is
a
moment
to
celebrate
that
we
got
as
close
as
we
could
to
agreement.
We
didn't
agree
on
everything,
but
we
will
be
back
mid-year
and
next
year
to
do
similar
things.
So,
congratulations
to
you
all.
It's
very
difficult
work.
C
D
Echo
my
sincere
gratitude
to
all
of
us
here
on
this
diocese
and
all
of
my
colleagues
for
this
process
and
I
just
appreciate
being
a
new
council
member
and
being
the
chair
of
budget.
It
was
a
whole
new
world,
so
it
was
nice
to
understand
that
even
councilmember
Goodman
didn't
get
it
until
her
sixth
year.
So.
D
I'm,
not
gonna,
let
that
one
go,
but
you
know
I
just
also
have
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
council.
Vice
president
palmisano,
she
was
the
vice
chair
of
of
the
budget
committee
and
really
helped
teach
me
and
Shepherd
me
along
and
support
through
this
entire
process,
and
so
I
couldn't
have
done
it
without
you.
D
Also
a
thanks
to
my
team
I
feel
like
I'm,
like
on
the
Golden
Globes
here
to
my
to
my
team,
Melissa
and
Corrine,
and
then
also
to
our
city
staff,
to
budget
and
finance,
just
an
incredible
collaboration
that
we
have
had
and
to
our
city,
attorneys.
I.
Don't
think
that
I've
been
told
many
times
that
we've
never
had
this
type
of
collaboration
before
so
I'm.
D
So
we
couldn't
do
it
without
you
and
of
course
you
know,
councilmember
Goodman
said
to
the
mayor
too,
for
and
his
team
for
extending
that
collaboration
and
connectedness
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
doing
this
again
and
you
will,
you
will
see
many
other
budget
committee
meetings
pop
up
throughout
the
year,
because
I
have
a
lot
of
ideas
in
ways
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
support
this
process
and
support
our
community
and
our
city
and
the
people
and
our
community
here.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
everybody.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
be
very
brief,
so
councilmember
Costco
I
would
also
like
to
be
added
to
that
legislative
agenda.
With
your
approval,
I
I
have
served.
I
did
serve
for
35
years
of
my
neighborhood
group
and
I
understand
the
wisdom
that
comes
out
of
the
neighborhood,
so
I
would
be
honored
if
you'd.
Allow
me
to
attach
my
name.
D
E
AX
E
A
The
budget
office,
the
the
just
amazing
amount
of
Corporation
and
cooperation
that
it
takes
for
us
to
get
here
and
do
our
jobs
and
I'm
I'm,
really
grateful
and
I
think
we
are
doing
the
work
of
the
people
and
moving
our
city
forward.
So
thank
you
all
and
with
that
we
have
no
further
business
before
us
and
I
will
clear
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
