A
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
michael
rainville
and
I'm
the
vice
chair
of
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee.
I'm
cheering
today,
because
council
member
andrew
is
out
on
parental
leave,
so
wish
him
the
best
with
his
new
child
and
with
me
at
the
diocese.
Are
council
members
elliot
payne,
robin
walmsley
jason
chavez,
lenny
palmisano,
I
should
go.
Excuse
me,
aisha,
I'm
sorry.
I
should
chuck
thai
emily
koski.
A
Councilmember
allison
jamal
lisa
goodman
and
my
my
dear
friend
from
the
fourth
ward-
oh
god,
I'm
sorry
latricia
vita.
I
am
so
nervous.
Thank
you
for
bearing
with
me
this.
I
I
apologize
for
not
remembering
your
names,
so
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum,
and
today
we
have
three
items
on
the
agenda,
including
our
regular
legislative
update.
So
first
we
have
a
congent
item
and
we
will
dispense
with
that
congenital
item
with,
with
the
passage
of
a
resolution
expressing
unity
with
the
people
of
ukraine.
A
I
would
like
to
offer
us
here
see
no
no
discussion,
I'd
like
to
move
forward
with
the
vote,
but
I
would
like
to
let
our
council
members
know
that
I
did
have
a
nice
conversation
with
our
immigration
and
refugee
affairs
director
and
our
our
city
has
a
welcome.
400
afghan
refugees
and
150
of
them
are
children
in
our
school
system.
A
Soon
this
ukrainian
crisis,
we
will
also
see
they
expect.
A
very
large
immigration
in
my
ward
is
a
lot
of
my
friends
and
neighbors
from
the
ukraine
and
and
the
descendants
of
refugees
from
the
ukraine.
So
it's
very
important
that
this
resolution
is
passed
and
I
will
be
asking
ors
kramarczyk,
who
is
a
leader
in
the
in
the
ukrainian
community
to
come
and
accept
this
resolution
at
our
council
meeting,
so
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
of
us
opposed
name.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
C
Okay,
perfect:
oh
there
we
go
good
morning,
chair
rainville
and
council
members
for
the
record.
My
name
is
fatima
moore
and
I'm
the
director
of
intergovernmental
relations
for
the
state
of
minneapolis
and
perhaps
similar
to
you
to
rainville,
I'm
also
a
little
nervous
but
excited
at
the
same
time
that
we're
in
person
and
and
doing
this.
So
forgive
me
if
I
have
any
hip
hiccups
along
the
way
as
well.
C
They
became
a
thing
again
in
2021
and
we
received
information
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
that
congress
will
be
engaging
in
the
process
again
so
we'll
be
presenting
on
the
work
that
igr
has
been
doing
with
departments
in
soliciting
project
ideas
that
could
be
recommended
through
the
earmarks
process
for
the
2023
budget
cycle.
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
begin
with
our
presentation.
C
C
The
first
was
a
deadline
that
ensured
that
any
bill
that
was
going
to
be
moving
through
to
the
end
of
of
session
made
it
through
one
committee
and
then
subsequently
other
committees,
so
that
by
last
friday,
a
bill
needed
to
make
it
and
be
sitting
either
heard
or
ready
to
be
heard
in
a
finance
committee
in
the
house
and
senate.
So
the
legislature
has
done
that
work.
C
C
We
know
that
session
ends
on
may
23rd,
and
so
we
have
approximately
five
weeks
left
for
legislators
to
decide
on
what
will
be
passed
at
the
end
of
session
for
for
some
context,
the
legislature
funded
the
state
for
the
biennium
last
year.
So,
although
we
are
at
this
point
where
we
have
a
almost
projected
10
billion
dollar
budget
surplus
technically,
the
legislature
does
not
need
to
spend
additional
funding
because
state
departments
are
funded
at
a
at
an
appropriate
level.
C
C
C
C
There
are
some
activities
that
individual
individuals
are
are
not
able
to
capture
tax
benefits
from,
and
so
this
house
bill
essentially
attempts
to
conform,
so
that
people
are
not
having
to
pay
additional
money
for
dollars
that
they
receive
from
the
federal
government
as
well.
The
bill
also
includes
some
income
tax
rebates.
C
It
expands
the
the
the
eligibility
for
income
tax
rebates.
It
also
includes
a
working
family
tax
credit
as
well
expanding
that
that
provision-
and
it
establishes
a
local,
affordable
housing
aid
program
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
cities
are
eligible
for
these.
These
dollars,
so
the
city
of
minneapolis.
If
this
bill
were
to
pass
to
pass,
for
example,
we'll
see
about
a
1.9
million
dollar
appropriation
from
the
state
in
this
new
affordable
housing
program,
the
bill
also
makes
some
social
security
changes
it.
C
C
The
the
house
bill,
I
believe,
sets
it
at
us
at
75k.
So
if
you
are
making
75k,
you
essentially
not
be
taxed
up
to
75k,
you
would
not
be
taxed
on
that.
The
bill
also
includes
a
state
aid
that
we
receive
from
from
minnesota
local
government
aid
every
10
years.
Local
government
aid
for,
for
many
reasons,
it's
recalculated
and
the
last
time
that
the
the
formula
to
determine
how
much
cities
get
from
local
government
aid
was
recalculated
in
about
10
years
ago.
C
Unlike
the
house,
the
senate,
the
current
senate
tax
bill
addresses
two
issues.
Only
the
chair
of
the
senate
tax
committee
did
say
that
this
is
one
tax
bill
and
that
an
additional
tax
bill
is
going
to
be
to
be
released,
one
they
go
once
they
go
back
into
session,
so
this
tax
bill
essentially
addresses
two
issues:
one,
it
completely
eliminates
a
social
security
tax
and
then
it
makes
those
federal
conformity
that
are
quite
similar
to
what
the
house
is
doing
in
their
bill
as
well.
D
C
Chair
and
council
member
onesie-
but
I
don't
have
that
that
number
in
front
of
me
right
now,
but
I
can
get
that
to
you.
We
are
certainly
a
net
contributor.
We
are
original
a
regional
player
generally,
and
so
there
are
a
lot
of
taxes
that
the
the
state
of
minnesota
collects
from
individuals,
businesses
et
cetera
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
But
I
can
get
that
information
to
you.
A
A
So
so
clear
robin
is
right.
We
we
contribute
a
lot
of
money
to
the
state
of
minnesota,
but
yet
we
get
very
little
in
return
and
I
think
that's
an
important
number
to
understand,
but
I'm
asking
in
the
past,
as
our
lobbyists
have
put
that
effort
forward,
that
that
knowledge.
How
is
that
received
at
the
state.
C
C
C
However,
we
have
a
split
legislature
right
now,
so
we
have
a
senate,
that's
led
by
republican
leadership
and
the
house,
that's
led
by
democratic
leadership.
Ultimately,
they
have
to
find
the
agreement,
and
so
we
haven't
been
at
the
point
where
there
is
an
agreement
that
really
outsizes
the
benefits.
That's
the
city
of
minneapolis
at
to
the
state
because
of
politics,
politics
just
essentially
play
into
the
mix.
D
Thank
you
for
that
and
just
to
build
upon
chair
rainville's
question
and
how
does
that
factor
as
you're
revisiting?
I
know
you
mentioned
you're
working
with
the
league
of
minnesota
twin
cities
to
really
revisit
how
we're
reshaping
the
lga-
and
I
guess
so-
is
that
going
to
be
brought
into
considerations
then,
with
that
that.
C
Chair
terrenville
council
member
onesie
world
about
yes,
one
of
the
many
changes
that
are
being
considered
in
the
the
formula.
The
reformulation
process
is
housing
housing
stock,
as
well
as
the
number
of
low-income
housing.
Because
again
we
do
know
that
within
the
city
of
minneapolis
we
are,
we
have
a
lot
of
acute
needs
and
it's
needs
related
to
housing,
food
access,
jobs,
education
et
cetera.
So
those
that's
why,
as
this
formula
is
being
revisited,
it's
really
important
that
we
are.
C
And
I'll
move
on
to
the
next
slide:
oh
no
housing,
so
housing
housing,
another
really
big
issue,
and
while
housing
is
an
issue,
definitely
most
acute
in
the
city.
There's
beginning,
there's
a
beginning
recognition
that
housing
issues
are
being
experienced
statewide
as
well,
and
so
because
of
that
we're
starting
to
see
much
more
funding
allocated
to
housing
at
the
state
of
minnesota.
C
A
pool
of
funds
at
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
and
developers
who
build
affordable
housing
access
is
the
housing
infrastructure
bonds
program
through
minnesota
housing
finance
agency.
This
bill
proposes
to
increase
hivs
by
400
million.
It
also
proposes
to
increase
fifth
by
fifth
by
50
million,
to
develop
a
new
program
that
supports
first
time
generation
home
buyers,
so
people
whose
families
in
the
past
have
not
been
able
to
become
homeowners.
This
is
a
really
targeted
program
to
help
those
individuals
essentially
become
homeowners.
C
A
sort
of
gap
financing
fund
at
minnesota,
housing
finance
agency
as
well
is
the
challenge
program.
This
bill
proposes
to
add
20
million
to
that
program.
Additionally,
family
homeless
assistance
programs.
This
is
a
program
that
focuses
on
families
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
with
children,
15
million
to
that,
and
then
the
homework
starts
at
home
program,
which
is
very
similar
to
another
program
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
allocates
10
million
dollars
to
that
program.
In
addition,
the
city
has
a
local
housing
trust
fund,
and
this
is
actually
the
second
if
this
were
to
pass.
C
This
was
this
would
be
the
second
year
ever
that
the
state
would
offer
funds
to
a
local
government's
local
housing
fund
program,
and
so
the
bill
proposes
7
million
to
that
program
and
in
addition
to
that,
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
on
tenant
protections
and
tenant
rights,
and
so
you'll
see
that
there
are
quite
a
few
provisions
that
make
it
into
the
bill.
This
is
not
inclusive
of
all
the
the
bills
that
have
dealt
with
tenant
protections,
but
there
are
some
heat
code
requirements
included
in
the
policy
provision.
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair
rainbow.
I
will
note
too
we're
still
in
a
pandemic.
I
know
lots
of
constituents,
probably
all
across
our
wards
have
struggled
with
paying
particularly
their
rents
and
mortgages,
and
I
know
specifically
the
rent
help
minnesota
program
was
very
crucial
in
providing
rental
assistance
to
so
many
working-class
households
and
was
very
disheartened
that
our
lawmakers
did
not
see
it
necessary
to
continue
that.
Has
that
resurfaced
at
all?
I
know
I've
been
contacted
by
numerous
stakeholder
groups
to
say
we
need
to
continue
funding
rental
assistance.
It's
specifically
through
that
program.
C
Actually
one
of
our
delegation,
members,
representative
agbaje,
is
the
chief
author
of
a
bill
that
looks
at
increasing
emergency
rental
assistance,
though
you'll
you'll
see
and
the
omnibus
bills
in
the
house
and
senate.
None
of
those
provisions
are
included.
Emergency
rental
assistance
is
not
included
in
the
omnibus
bills.
That's
not
because
of
lack
of
interest
or
lack
of
desire.
There's
a
different
strategy
there
to
move
it
likely
as
a
standalone
as
an
individual
bill,
as
opposed
to
including
it
in
an
omnibus
bill.
C
E
Thanks
to
rainbow
and
director
moore
just
want
to
ask
last
year
we
were
able
to
pass
a
bill
that
would
require,
like
high-rise
buildings,
to
have
sprinklers
in
them
at
the
state,
and
I
was
wondering
if
this
year,
the
house
omnibus
bill
includes
any
funding
for
that
to
happen
for
enforcement
or
maybe
at
the
federal
level,
but
we
can
touch
on
that
offline.
I
guess
just
trying
to
figure
out
if
there's
any
funding
this
year
for
that
yeah.
C
Chair
rainville
and
councilman
chavez,
yes,
representative
noor
has
the
bill
in
the
house,
and
senator
dietzig
has
the
bill
in
the
senate
and
the
there
was
a
there
was
a
provision
that
was
included
in
an
a
bill
last
year
in
an
omnibus
bills,
and
I
can't
recall
what
it
is
exactly
and
I
can
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
that,
but
the
bill
the
bill
required
certain
high-rises
to
be
retrofitted
with
sprinklers.
It
did
not
appropriate
funding
this
year.
F
C
That
also
provide
services
so
separate
from
the
the
structure
that
houses
an
individual
who
ex
who
is
experiencing
homelessness,
but
also
to
help
pay
for
the
the
individuals
who
are
offering
some
of
those
support
services
regarding
the
shelter
piece
that
is
included
in
the
in
a
in
that
that
could
be
included
in
a
house
bonding
bill,
bonding
bills,
typically,
move
separate
from
agency
fund
funding
bills,
and
that's
yet
to
be
a
bonding
bill
is
yet
to
be
determined.
That
typically
happens
at
the
end
of
session.
C
However,
the
governor
has
proposed,
I
believe,
72
million
for
emergency
shelter,
capital
funding
to
help
with
upgrading
existing
shelters,
as
well
as
to
build
new
shelters.
There's
also
some
funding
in
the
health
and
in
the
health
and
human
services
on
the
biz
bills
through
a
program
called
the
emergency
support
services
program
that
pays
for
shelters,
shelter,
providers
and
then
there's
an
additional
program
as
well,
which
I'll
I'll
touch
on
once
I
get
to
that
portion.
So
yes,
that's.
Certainly
a
discussion
point.
G
C
Yeah,
chair
and
council
member
chuck
thai
definitely
they're
you're,
absolutely
correct
it
really
even
prior
to
2022.
There
were
discussions
around
what
could
be
happening
in
this
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
around
rent
stabilization,
rent
control,
those
terms
are
used,
entertained,
interchangeably
and
in
the
senate
side.
There's
a
lot
of
chatter
and
legislation.
That's
moving
around
rent
control
and
particularly
preempting
cities
from
enacting
any
rent
control
policies.
C
Retro
enact
policies
that
retroactively
preempt,
a
city,
so,
for
example,
there
is
a
bill
by
the
chair
of
the
housing
committee
in
the
senate.
That
essentially
does
does
that
it
would.
It
would
be
such
that
if
the
bill
were
to
pass
even
though
minneapolis
ballot
measure
passed
in
november,
it
proact
it
retroactively
has
a
date
of
I
believe
2020,
and
so
that
would
essentially
negate
the
city's
rent,
stabilization
policy
and
I'll
I'll
direct
you
to
what
the
senate
bill.
C
The
senate
omnibus
bill
includes,
because
it
does
essentially
include
that
there
is
a
a
provision
that
preempts
cities,
so
the
two
cities
that
currently
have
rent
controls
are
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
st
paul.
There
have
been
hearings
on
it.
The
city
has
submitted
a
letter.
We've
also
had
our
our
staff
from
our
the
housing
division
within
cpet
testify
as
well
on
what
our
policy
currently
says,
which
we
don't
have
a
policy
yet
and
also
attempting
to
offer
data
around
what
what
the
rental
housing
landscape
looks
like
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
G
C
You
know
chair
and
council
member
chuck
thai
anything's
possible
at
the
end
of
session,
especially
toward
the
end
of
session,
where
things
are
extremely
intense.
Now
they
become
even
more
intense,
and
so
there
could
be
little
opportunities
here
and
there
for
a
legislator
to
attempt
to
sneak
in
a
policy
a
policy
provision
even
on
the
senate
floor
or
on
the
house
floor.
So
we
are
very
vigilant
and
are
watching
extremely
closely
to
ensure
that
the
city's
rights
are
protected
on
all
issues,
not
not
not
only
on
rent
control.
A
C
All
right,
we'll
briefly
touch
on
what's
in
the
senate,
because
as
you'll
see
they're
really
there,
there
aren't
as
many
provisions
in
the
senate
side,
the
senate
does
include
give
50
million
in
fiscal
year
23
for
housing
across
the
board
and
that's
10,
10
million
for
workforce
and
affordable
housing,
homeownership
and
then
there's
a
new
home
ownership
development
program.
It's
not
targeted
at
affordable
home
ownership,
it's
just
generally
home
ownership,
developer
development
program
and
that's
35
million
moving
on
to
policies
in
addition
to
the
rent
control
preemption
the
senate.
C
C
In
addition,
there's
nine
million
in
grant
to
local
public
health
for
emergency
preparedness.
This
was
this
is
not
the
case
prior
to
covid.
Local
public
health
did
not
have
this
level
of
accessibility
to
fund.
So
if
this
were
to
pass,
it's
going
to
go
a
really
long
way
to
ensuring
that
we're
prepared
for
future
emergencies
as
well.
School-Based
clinics,
there's
300
367
k
allocated
for
those
those
those
programs
and
then,
in
addition,
5
million
for
food
support
grants
for
food
shelves.
Food
banks
and
meal
supports
again
a
recognition
that
there's
just
been.
C
C
There
are
some
policy
changes
around
telehealth
and
televisions
to
basically
make
sure
that
those
kinds
of
services
are
covered
by
medical
assistance
and
then
the
bill
also
establishes
the
department
of
behavioral
health
and
then
specifies
certain
duties
for
the
commissioner
under
the
bill,
so
not
as
much
related
to
the
program
and
funding
and
as
you'll
see
when
we
move
through
the
remaining
slides
as
well.
That
I
think
I
stated
this
before
and
forgive
me
forgive
me
if
I
didn't,
but
the
there
are
two
different
positions
in
the
legislature.
D
Thank
you,
sarah
randall,
in
relation
to
this
particular
section,
and
I
know
from
working
closely
with
the
the
state
legislature.
Last
year
we
often
loop
in
child
care
support
with
the
you
know,
our
public
health
cert
in
human
services
so
want
to
see
if
there's
any
movement
on
that,
I
know
I
work
closely
with
a
coalition
last
year
of
child
care
providers.
Who've
named
time
and
time
again,
they
are
not
receiving
the
funding
that
they
need,
or
you
know,
subsidies
that
they
need
to
provide
quality.
D
You
know
and
persistent
child
care
to
working-class
families
and
I'm
pretty
sure
many
of
us
have
probably
been
contacted
by
our
constituents
also
about
just
the
shortage
of
staffing
for
our
centers.
So
I
want
to
know
if
there's
any
movement
on
that,
I
know
I
even
worked
on
a
bill
around
like
also
increasing
workforce
standards
for
child
care
providers.
So
we'll
love
to
know
if
there's
any
yeah
action
happening
around
that.
C
Yeah,
chair
to
rainville
and
councilman
councilmember
onesie
world
about
their
child
care
and
child
care.
Affordability
is
one
of
the
top
issues
at
the
legislature,
and
so,
while
you
don't
see
it
listed
here,
we
we
would
need
multiple
slides
to
list
all
the
things
that
are
included
in
in
all
of
these
bills.
C
There
there's
provisions
in
the
health
and
human
services
bill
for
child
care,
particularly
there's
also
provisions
in
the
the
house,
jobs
bill
for
some
of
the
workforce,
readiness
and
I
believe
that
may
be
included
in
the
jobs
on
the
this
bill
slide
as
well.
So
I
can
provide
more
information
to
you
about
what
specifically
is
is
included,
but
child
child
care
cost
is,
is
an
in
the
worker
shortage
as
a
really.
So
that
is
really
one
of
the
top
issues.
D
D
C
Yeah,
chair
rainville
and
council
member
onesie
warlabah
t
the
the
recent
teacher
strike
was
certainly
a
high-level
topic
at
the
legislature
as
well,
and
one
of
our
delegation,
members,
representative,
dabney
chairs,
the
house,
education
committee
and
so
he's
been
really
engaged
in
their
bill.
I
we
did
not
include
a
slide
on
on
the
education
piece,
because
there
really
isn't
a
lot
of
provision
related
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
those
those
those
in
that
omnibus
bill.
But
I
can
provide
more
information
to
you.
C
D
C
As
well
yep,
absolutely
a
chair,
const
member
I'll,
we'll
provide
those
information
to
you
and
chair
move
to
the
next
slide
jobs
all
right.
So
there
has
been
obviously
a
lot
of
discussion
on
workforce
shortages
on
in
many
different
careers.
The
house
job
bill
proposes
to
allocate
175
million
dollars
in
new
funds
in
20
in
fiscal
year.
2023
a
portion
of
those
would
go
to
the
local
workforce
board
through
the
rc,
our
community
planning
and
economic
development
department.
C
We
have
there's
a
staff
member
there
who
is
a
part
of
the
local
workforce
board
and
we've
been
working
with
them
to
advocate
for
more
program,
more
programming
dollars
that
can
be
focused
to
our
our
local
workforce
boards,
because
they're
the
ones
talking
with
the
individuals
who
are
looking
for
for
jobs.
They
can
clearly
identify
the
kinds
of
trainings
that
are
needed,
etc,
and
so
the
bill
proposes
20
million,
which
is
for
the
first
time,
that's
pretty
pretty
amazing
20
million
coming
to
a
local
workforce
board.
C
C
C
C
C
That
is
currently
stated
in
the
program,
and
so
that
was
because
there
were
legislators
in
the
agency.
Frankly
just
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
who
still
had
needs,
but
because
of
the
really
strict
requirements
didn't
get
any
of
the
funds
because
they
didn't
have
funds
to
really
match
the
state's
fund
as
well.
So
that's
why
you
see
these
these
programs.
Here.
C
On
the
senate
side,
the
senate
parks
appropriates
roughly
279
thousand
dollars.
The
senate
appropriates
175k
to
study
the
adequacy
of
current
benefit
levels
that
are
available
currently
to
disabled
or
injured
police
officers,
firefighters
and
state
troopers.
The
bill
also
provides
50k
for
a
grant
program
with
horses
to
help
with
experience,
experiential
learning
and
mental
health
therapy
for
first
responders.
H
C
Chair,
terry
rainville
and
council
president,
the
bill
increases
well
I'll
pause
and
then
start
back
last
year,
the
legislature
allocated
funds
to
the
program.
The
first
round
of
funds
went
out,
I
wouldn't
say,
fall
of
2021
and,
most
recently
within
the
last
month.
I
believe
the
second
round
of
funds
were
released.
C
There's
no
more,
since
the
second
round
of
funds
are
out
there,
there's
currently
no
more
dollars
in
the
program,
so
the
legislature
is.
The
house
is
proposing
to
allocate
an
additional
20
million
to
the
program
for
future
rounds
of
sub
sub
allocation
and
to
allow
the
commissioner
to
determine
so
they
give
him
discretion.
They
give
the
current
commissioner
the
discretion
to
determine
if
that
match
requirement
is
waived
or
not.
C
C
I'm
not
well
versed
on
all
of
the
chair
and
and
come
to
prison.
I'm
not
well
versed
on
the
the
the
details
of
the
program
and
exactly
how
the
match
requirements
go.
I
do
know
that
for
if,
if
you
have,
if,
if
a
business,
for
example,
instead
of
minneapolis
wanted
to
access
the
funds,
there's
some
difficulty
in
you
utilizing
arpa
funds
for
it
because
of
the
the
strict
requirements
at
the
federal
level.
C
D
Thank
you,
chairman
randall,
and
director
moore.
I
just
have
three
questions,
but
also
one
to
start
by
saying.
Thank
you
for
your
work
around
the
small
business.
You
know
avid
have
advocacy
component
in
my
ward.
You
know
we
have
many
businesses
who
were
either
destroyed
and
continued
to
be
impacted
financially
from
the
devastation
that
took
place
when
mpd
killed.
D
George
floyd
and
you
know
everything
that
took
place
around
the
third
precinct,
and
I
know
I
get
contacted
pretty
frequently
by
our
small
businesses
who
have
received
little
to
no
support
from
this
particular
initiative
and
other
supports
that
is
apparently
in
existence.
So
thank
you
for
your
work
and
trying
to
strengthen
and
expand
resources,
direct
resources
to
small
business
owners
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
D
I
know
I've
been
in
conversations
with
our
city
attorneys
to
do
a
small
business
public
hearing
in
my
ward,
with
some
of
those
folks
to
let
them
know
what
resources
are
available
to
them.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
that.
The
three
questions
that
I
had
was:
is
there
any
movement
around
increasing
allocations
to
the
frontline
workers
fund?
I
know
there
was
one
billion.
D
Last
year
many
essential
workers
are
still
struggling
and,
as
you
mentioned,
even
with
child
care,
we're
experiencing
staffing
shortages
all
across
the
state,
because
people
don't
want
to
go
to
work
and
earn
poverty
wages
in
the
midst
of
a
a
pandemic,
that's
still
very
financially
devastating
for
most
working
class
people.
The
second
question
that
I
had
was
actually
around
some
of
the
the
dynamics
I'm
seeing
around
the
senate's
proposal.
With
lots
of
you
know
higher
education
support
for
those
entering
into
law
enforcement.
D
We
recognize
there's
staff
shortages,
that's
happening
all
across
different
industries.
Are
we
providing
similar
or
are
there
conversations
to
extend
similar
supports,
for
instance,
to
again
with
the
teachers
we
just
had
a
strike
with
the
esps.
Our
schools
are
facing
staff
shortages.
Are
they
providing
student
debt
support
for
those
to
bring
them
into
the
field?
We
know
their
staffing
shortages
and
hospitals.
I
went
to
zumba
last
night,
actually
in
council,
member
vitals,
ward
and
they're
experiencing
staffing
shortages
of
custodians
for
our
after-school
centers.
D
Here's
an
opportunity
to
support
them
as
well.
So
is
there
any
discussion
around
how
we're
also
using
dollars
to
also
you
know,
bring
support
to
other
workers
in
different
industries
who
can
use
help
with
higher
education
with
professional
development,
to
get
them
not
only
into
these
fields
but
to
also
retain
them.
C
C
What
those
priorities
look
like
and
how
they
translate
into
legislation,
looks
completely
different,
and
so
for
the
house
side,
you'll
see
that
there
are
individual
bills
that
that
have,
for
example,
the
speaker
named
as
the
chief
author
or
leadership
named
as
the
chief
author
that
are
not
included
in
these
larger
omnibus
bills
and
those
are
to
be
carried
as
stand
stand-alone
bills.
Those
are
the
caucus's
priorities,
so
those
have
been
those
are
have
been
heard
through
committees
and
are
awaiting
end
of
session
from
when
negotiation
happens
and
similarly
you're
you're
absolutely
right.
C
What
we
are
seeing
in
the
senate
side
is
we're,
seeing
support
for
workers
and
those
workers
are
the
kinds
of
workers
that
are
are
that
are
getting
support
and
that
you're
hearing
more
about
our
you
know:
law
enforcement
careers
higher
paying
jobs
careers
as
opposed
to
our
low
income,
low
wage
workers,
so
that
discussion
is
happening.
It'll
continue
to
happen
even
alongside
these
omnibus
bills
moving,
but
will
ultimately
if
decisions
are
made
on
those.
C
You
know
there
was.
There
was
an
agreement
in
2021
as
well
on
the
front
line
workers
pay
and
ultimately
there
was
a
work
group
that
was
put
together
to
determine
the
calculation,
how
exactly
how
much
each
worker
was
going
to
get
and
the
work
the
work
group
members
were
unable
to
find
agreement
on
that,
so
that
that
is
now
back
at
the
legislature
and
all
legislators
again
are
determining
exactly
what
the
calculation
is
going
to
look
like
and
if
there's
even
going
to
be
an
ability
to
pass
that
frontline
workers
pay.
C
Secondly,
oh
I
believe
I
I
answered
part
of
your
question
around
the
the
senate's
bills
that
are
that
you're
you're
hearing
a
lot
more
of.
However,
they
also
do
have
some
provisions
that
are
related
to
funding
for
higher
paying
jobs
or,
if
you'll,
see
in
some
of
the
other
bills.
There
are.
There
are
programs
that
they're
they're
allocating
limited
dollars
to
that
help
with
developing
businesses
and
manufacturing
businesses
et
cetera.
Just
not
those
that
we
see
mostly
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
E
Oh
chair
rainbow,
thank
you
and
director
moore
before
I
became
a
council
member.
I
actually
worked
on
this
committee,
so
I
worked
for
representative
nor
an
omnibus
bill
that
we
passed
in
2021.
So
I
do
know
that
this
work
isn't
easy
and
I
do
appreciate
the
work
that
you're
doing
for
all
of
us
at
the
state
legislature
when
it's
very
split
and
it's
hard
to
get
anything
done
from
political
ideologies.
E
I
was
just
wondering
the
governor
went
on
like
street
and
talked
about
the
20
million
main
street
funding,
and
I
know
that
funding
is
oftentimes
very
difficult
for
our
communities
and
you
touched
based
on
that
a
little
bit.
But
I
was
wondering
that
when
that
passes,
because
I
do
expect
that
to
pass,
would
we
be
willing
and
able
to
work
with
our
city
of
elected
officials,
the
ones
at
the
state
legislature,
the
minneapolis
ones,
to
figure
out
what
the
requirements
and
descriptions
can
be.
E
If
we
can
change
that
because
we
can
pass
it,
but
we
can
also
change
the
description
once
that
passes
to
make
sure
that
it's
more
accessible
to
our
communities
of
color
and
our
communities
that
oftentimes
can't
have
access
to
these
funds.
You
touch
base
on
that,
but
wondering
if
there's
work
we
can
do
after
once.
It
passes
to
make
sure
that
it's
accessible.
C
C
There
are
some
elections
related
provisions
in
this
bill
as
well,
and
I'm
just
going
to
highlight
on
some
of
the
top
ones.
For
you,
the
bill
would
require
a
minimum
number
of
voting
locations
for
ballot
boxes
based
on
the
number
of
voters
in
a
jurisdiction
ballot
box
ballot
boxes
were
passed
in
the
biennial
budget
in
2021,
and
so
this
this
provision
essentially
helps
to
ensure
that
a
certain
number
are
located
in
within
a
a
distinct
radius.
C
C
Bill
also
ensures
that
state
statutes
comply
with
the
federal
equal
rights
amendment
and
it
expands
some
public
funds
of
some
ability
for
local
governments
around
bond
investments,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
high
level
things
are
included
in
this.
The
house
stake
of
an
elections
bill
on
the
senate
side.
The
bill
appropriates
50
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2023
it
allocates
six
million
dollars
of
those
funds
for
grants
to
local
governments
to
live
stream
ballot
boxes.
C
This
is
a
requirement
that
was
added
in
the
elections
bill
last
year
and
so
now
they're
providing
six
million
dollars
to
help
support.
Some
of
the
costs
of
life
live
streaming
ballot
boxes.
If
a
local
government
decides
to
utilize
those
the
bill
also
makes
one
million
grand
one
time
to
local
governments
for
absentee
boxes
for
absentee
ballot
boxes
and
makes
changes
to
how
non-governmental
entities
like
nonprofits,
for
example,
label.
C
Voter
information
that
you
receive
during
an
election
in
their
mail
mailboxes
so
as
to
clarify
what
are
official,
for
example,
an
official
mail-in
mail-in
ballot
as
opposed
to
what
is
an
informational
campaign
material
related
to
a
said
issue,
but
that
a
non-profit's
supporting
or
opposing
the
bill
also
establishes
the
ballot,
a
ballot
board,
a
board
of
valid
observers.
And
then
it
makes
several
other
changes
to
absentee
ballots.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
report.
I'm
not
sure
which
slide
my
two
questions
come
in
so
I'll
just
ask
now
it
might
have
been
taxes.
It
could
be
finance,
I'm
interested
in
where
our
effort
to
change
the
boundaries
for
the
downtown
taxing
district
landed,
and
my
second
question
has
to
do
with
some
communications.
I
I've
had
with
various
legislators
in
the
minneapolis
delegation
surrounding
this
issue
of
the
stadium
bonds
being
paid
off
and
our
ability
to
be
relieved
of
the
150
million
dollar
contribution
that
no
one
left
on
this
council
now
supported
just
to
be
clear
and
the
the
way
that
we
could
reuse
that
150
million
dollars
towards
economic
development
on
lake
street
in
other
areas.
So
when
I
have
legislators,
calling
me
asking
me
if
I
think
this
is
a
good
thing
to
do,
it
means
something's
happening
behind
the
scenes.
C
The
the
state
legislature
passed
a
law
a
couple
of
sessions
ago,
and
I
can't
recall
exactly
which
session
I
want
to
say,
maybe
2019
that
required
local
governments
if
they're
going
to
be
making
any
changes
to
existing
tax,
local
tax
laws
or
creating
new
ones
that
there
there
were
steps
that
had
to
be
taken.
One
of
the
first
steps
included
the
local
government's
council
passing
a
resolution
addressing
said
tax
change.
C
After
that
resolution
was
passed.
It
then
would
need
to
be
submitted
to
the
chairs
of
the
tax
committee
in
the
house
and
senate
and
then
and
by
a
certain
deadline
as
well
after
that
is
when
then,
you
begin
working
on
legislation
to
to
do
what
essentially
you're
going
to
do
so.
I've
been
working
with
our
finance
folks
and
our
cped
folks,
our
our
teams
to
determine
what
that,
where
they're
they're
determining
what
that
new
boundary
will
be,
and
I
believe
it's
going
to
be
coming
to
the
council
relatively
soon
as
well.
C
I
think
perhaps
the
first
year
that
I
started
working
for
the
city
and
at
that
point
we
were
working
with
senator
dietzig
as
well.
To
you
know,
have
her
be
the
chief
author
of
the
senate
bill,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
there
was
a
there
was
a
there
was
a
recommendation
that
the
the
council
should
determine
that
boundary
first
and
then
come
to
the
legislature
with
that
boundary.
So,
while
we
are
five
weeks
out
of
session,
I'm
not
certain
that
it's
going
to
be
feasible
to
get
this
done
this
session.
C
But
I
do
know
that
we
are
in
the
works
with
our
finance.
Folks
and
communicating
about
what
that
boundary
should
be
working
with
the,
as
well
as
working
with
the
the
department
of
revenue
to
help
assess
what
that
new
tax
capacity
is
going
to
be
for
businesses
that
are
for
the
expansion
of
of
the
boundary
and
the
businesses
that
are
going
to
be
included
in
there.
I
Mr
chair,
so
it's
disappointing
that
this
has
been
on
our
agenda
for
a
really
long
time
and
we're
still
hearing
that
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
haven't
been
done.
I've
met
with
finance
staff
twice,
so
I'm
confident
that
the
boundary
has
been
set
and
agreed
to.
So
I'm
somewhat
surprised
that
this
is
not
moving
anywhere
and
for
my
colleagues
just
to
understand
what
this
means,
the
boundary
for
the
downtown
taxing
district
was
developed
more
than
20
years
ago,
before
all
of
downtown
was
actually
developed.
I
So
now
we
have
a
situation
where
some
of
the
businesses
in
the
north
loop
pay
the
extra
3
tax
and
right
across
the
street.
They
don't
so
it's
become
an
issue
as
it
pertains
to
like
first
avenue
paying
the
tax,
but
the
fillmore
doing
the
exact
same
thing:
eight
blocks
away,
not
paying
the
tax,
and
so
this
is
a
issue
of
equity
and
fairness
within
these
businesses.
No
one's
talking
about
jumping
the
boundary
to
add
other
awards.
I
This
is
primarily
within
the
second,
the
third,
seventh
and
fifth
wards,
and
it's
to
try
to
have
businesses
of
like
concern
paying
the
same
tax.
So
the
monte
carlo
is
paying
the
extra
three
percent,
but
parlor's,
not
free
house
is
not,
but
mercury
was
because
the
there
was
no
and
it's
no
one's
fault.
I
mean
downtown
grew,
thank
goodness
over
time
and
now
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
have
everyone
paying
about
the
same
thing
and
potentially
drop
the
rate
a
little
bit
so
that
there
is
more
equity
within
these
various
businesses.
I
So
I'm
somewhat
surprised
that
we're
now
even
a
year
out,
hopefully
we'll
see
more
concerts
this
year
and
it
won't
be
up
to
full
speed,
but
I
would
say
by
the
end
of
the
pandemic,
maybe
when
the
convention
business
starts
coming
back,
it's
really
something
we
should
be
pushing,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
move
this
a
little
bit
faster
than
the
four
years.
It's
been
on
our
legislative
agenda
with
no
work.
I
C
Chair
terry
rainville
and
councilman
councilmember
goodman,
if
I
can
clarify,
while
the
policy
position
has
been
on
our
ledge
agenda,
the
clear
boundary
and
details
around
what
that
boundary
is
hasn't
been
developed
until
I
would
say
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
and
so
now
that
we
actually
have
a
drawn
out
an
updated,
drawn
out
boundary.
Now
we
can
go
to
department
of
revenue
and
say:
hey
here.
Are
these
boundaries?
Here
are
the
businesses
that
are
going
to
be
included
in
there
and
also
to
your
point
council,
member
goodman.
C
We
also
want
to
ensure
that
the
the
tax
capacity
doesn't
increase,
but
that
it'll
likely
decrease
slightly
since
the
boundary
will
be
expanded.
More
people
will
be
paying
this
this
this
tax
and
therefore
the
the
I
mean,
I
would
say
the
tax
burden
essentially
is
spread
out
more,
but
we
didn't
have
a
boundary
until
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago.
C
C
The
bill
on
the
senate
side
is
chaired
by
senator
rosen.
She
was
the
the
chief
author
of
the
stadium,
the
vikings
bill
when
it
was
originally
created,
and
the
house
bill
is
chief
author
by
chair
nelson
he's.
Actually,
the
the
chair
of
the
state
gov,
the
state
gov
committee
as
well.
We've
been
in
discussions
with
both
of
them
around
what
the
bill
ultimately
does.
What
the
bill
seeks
to
do
is
it
would
when
the
bond
are
ready
to
be
called
in
2023.
C
The
state
would
ultimately
reduce
its
share
of
debt
to
the
bond,
so
the
the
three,
the
364
million
that
the
state
paid,
would
be
reduced
to
some
lower
amount
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
We
paid
150
million.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
share
of
the
bonds
are
also
lowered,
so
that
there
is
purity,
if
the
state's
going
to
be
reducing
its
share
of
the
bonds.
C
It's
365,
then
the
150
that
this
that
the
state
that
the
city
paid
is
also
reduced
at
a
similar
rate,
and
so
that's
the
discussion
that
we've
been
in
with
them.
There
hasn't
been
any
decision
quite
yet
on
what
to
do.
We've
had
meetings
with
finance
we've
had
meetings
with
our
city
coordinators
office
as
well.
We've
had
I've
had
conversations
with
individual
legislators
as
well.
C
I've
communicated
with
senator
rosen
I've
worked
with
senate
council
so
that
we
can
determine
a
language
that
ultimately
is
put
into
this
bill
if
it
passes
so
that
minneapolis
benefits
from
any
refinancing
that
happens
with
the
bill.
What
what
we
are
seeing
with
the
with
the
stadium
stadium
refinance
fund,
which
the
stadium
refinance
fund
was
created
for
such
this
moment.
If
and
when
it
was
an
opportune
time
that
the
legislature
could
pay
off
the
debt
early,
they
would
be
able
to
utilize
some
of
these
funds
to
pay
it
off.
C
C
C
C
It
offers
quite
a
few
grants
which
local
governments
are
eligible
and
can
apply
for
one
of
them
is
a
local
community
safety
grant,
so
that
would
it
would
appropriate
55
million
dollars
to
groups
who
are
working
on
community
safety
programming.
It
would
also
offer
10
million
dollars
for
co-responder
grants,
15
million
for
investigation
grants.
This
would
be
to
law
enforcement,
1.5
million
to
to
combat
the
increase
in
sex
trafficking,
11
million,
I'm
sorry,
1
million
for
youth
intervention
programs,
1.5
million
for
local
emergency
management
grants.
C
95
million
would
be
to
create
a
new
public
safety
innovation
board
and
then
that
board
would
then
be
able
to
grant
out
a
portion
of
the
95
million
to
grantees
who
are
seeking
funds.
The
bill
also
appropriates
500
000
to
establish
and
fund
the
office
of
missing
and
murdered
black
women
and
girls.
It
offers
5
million
in
grants
for
body
worn
cameras.
C
C
It
provides
20
million
for
peace
officer
and
recruitment,
47
million
for
retention
bonuses
for
peace
officers,
3
million
for
youth
intervention
programs,
a
million
each
for
a
peace
officer,
recruitment
campaign
and
also
funding
to
fund
some
of
the
pathways
to
policing
programs.
It
creates
quite
a
new,
quite
a
few
new
crimes.
D
Thank
you,
chair
rainville
just
had
two
questions,
so
I
know
at
the
council
level,
especially
around
some
of
our
community
safety
initiatives,
there's
been
lots
of
questions
raised,
especially
in
public
health
and
safety
committee
around
you
know.
How
are
we
setting
higher
standards
around
accountability
of
the
groups
that
we're
working
with
the
deliverables
that
they're
producing
for
our
communities?
I'm
always
interested?
If
there's
you
know
existing
presidencies
that
we
can
model
ourselves
after,
particularly
at
the
state
level,
do
is
there
any
vetting
or
accountability
accountability
measures?
D
B
D
Of
us
interested
in
moving
that
work
forward
here
on
the
council
to
possibly
model
afterwards
or
or
make
some
tweaks
the
second
question
on
the
senate
side,
I'm
actually
interested
where
there's
20
million
dollars
in
peace
officer
recruitment.
Where
would
that
go
towards?
I
know
there
was
three
of
us
council
members
who
participated
in
the
tour
of
hennepin
tech
about
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
and
they
produced
about
50
of
officers
statewide.
C
Chair
terry
rainville
and
councilmember
onesie
robot,
so
I'll
I'll
start
with
your
last
question.
First,
the
20
million
dollar
for
peace
officer
recruitment
would
go
to
local
law
enforcement
groups
and
then,
secondly,
I
believe
your
question
was
related
to
the
local
community
safety
grants
that
the
house
is
offering.
C
You
know
in
our
discussions
with
with
the
the
chair
of
the
public
safety
committee
and
some
of
his
committee
members,
as
well
as
staff
within
the
city,
there's
a
lot
of
learnings
from
the
city
of
minneapolis
that
really
led
to
the
development
of
this
this
program.
There
is
also
a
recognition
that
there
needs
to
be
more
streamlined,
communication
and
collaboration
so
that
local
law
enforcement
understand
and
know
who
some
of
these
groups
are
that
are
essentially
delivering
community
safety
programs,
and
so
in
the
in
the
program,
description
of
the
public
safety
and
innovation
board.
C
H
C
Chair
rainville
and
come
to
president.
Yes,
I
can
answer
that
question
precisely
because
that
is
because
there
was
a
previous
initiative
that
did
pass
and
forgive
me
because
all
of
my
years
are
really
meshing
into
one.
But
I
want
to
say
it
was
passed
in
2019
a
similar
office.
So
there
is
an
existing
office
already
for
murdered
and
indigenous
women
and
girls,
and
so
this
essentially
is
a
mirror
of
a
similar
initiative,
but
for
black
women
and
girls.
B
H
C
Council,
chair
tour,
greenville
council
president.
There
are
new
crimes
that
are
created
and
some
of
those
crimes
increase
are
in
comparison
to
existing
crimes
of
similar
measures
that
the
level
of
penalties
are
increased
for
some
of
these
crimes
so,
for
example,
the
crime
of
fleeing
an
officer
in
a
negligent
manner.
C
C
C
C
the
bill
appropriates
3.7
million
to
operate
a
car
theft
prevention
program
that
includes
measures
like
decoy
cars
that
local
law
enforcement
can
can
access
in
response
to
the
increase
in
these
types
of
activities
definitely
locally,
but
also
statewide
the
program.
The
fund,
the
bill
also
appropriates
200k
to
the
auto
theft
prevention
program.
C
The
bill
requires
unrelated
public
safety,
homeowner
associations
before
they
begin
to
foreclose
on
a
home
to
notify
a
homeowner
for
non-payment
of
rent.
This
is
a
an
occurrence
that
we
were
seeing
increasingly
over
the
last
two
two
years
and
so
work
with
some
of
the
associations
and
the
minnesota
homeownership
board
and
other
other
groups
to
ensure
that
there's
some
notice
to
homeowners
before
they
see
foreclosure
notices.
The
bill
also
attempts
to
discourage
the
theft
of
catalytic
converters
by
limiting
their
possession
and
sale
through
certain
scrap
metal
businesses
it
it
does
exist.
C
It
does
exempt
registered,
scrap
dealers
from
seeing
any
penalties
if
they
are,
if
they
are
purchasing
a
catalytic
converter
from
someone
who
has
a
license.
This
is
an
initiative
that
that
it's
an
it's
an
initiative.
That's
been
underway
at
the
legislature
for
the
last
three
years
now
to
address
the
increase,
really
the
rapid
increase
and
how
easy
it
is
to
for
an
individual
to
remove
your
catalytic
converter
from
your
car
and
the
cost
then
to
replace
it
as
well.
A
Thank
you,
director,
moore.
Are
there
any
additional
questions
from
the
council,
see
no
further
discussion,
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
report
and
our
second
discussion
item
three
is
a
presentation
regarding
the
2023
congressionally
directed
spending
I'll
now
invite
intergovernment
relations
director?
No,
I
see
we
have
someone
new
to
do
that.
J
J
How
it's
relevant
to
today's
conversation
is
that
we
needed
to
wait
until
march
to
actually
know
that
the
ear
marks
from
last
year
were
really
really
happening,
and
so
now
we're
at
a
point
from
the
ear
marks
from
last
year,
where
we're
waiting
to
figure
out
okay.
Now,
how
do
we?
How
do
we
get
a
check
for
the
one
project
we
had
last
year,
so
the
earmarks
were
included
in
that
process
and
then
I'll
just
note.
J
I
think
we
were
hoping
that
after
year,
one
people
would
recognize
that
we
need
to
build
more
time
into
this
process
and
a
different
level
of
information,
but
it
appears
that
that
did
not
change
for
this
year,
so
we're
on
an
extremely
accelerated
timeline
where
we
essentially
have
a
two-week
window
from
the
time
they
officially
said.
Yes,
we're
doing
earmarks
here's,
you
know
we're
publishing
the
opportunity
for
you
and
then
the
deadlines
that
are
quickly
approaching.
J
So
we've
been
scrambling
to
work
internally
here
at
the
city
and
igr.
You
know
in
general,
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
is
trying
to
take
advantage
of
any
resource.
We
can,
from
you
know
federal
government
or
state
to
to
advance
city
projects,
so
we're
facilitating
this
to
see
if
we
have
city
projects
that
could
take
advantage
of
this.
J
So,
just
some
more
this
kind
of
background,
the
amount
that
congress
spends
on
discretionary
spend
is
no
more
than
one
percent
of
discretionary
spending
that
could
be
up
to
a
billion
dollars
worth
of
earmarks.
From
my
understanding,
there
are
very
specific
accounts
available
for
this
process
and
it
varies
on
the
senate
and
the
house
side.
J
So
it's
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
have
to
come
together
to
have
a
successful
earmark,
and
we
will
talk
more
about
that
in
general.
The
idea
with
your
mark
ii
is
that
you're
ready
to
spend
it
when
you
get
it,
but
this
is
another
area
too,
where
there
can
be
differences
depending
on
where
your
body
is
coming
from
and
what
the
expectations
are.
So
it's
really
a
puzzle.
J
J
I
think
when
you
are
the
government
already
and
you're,
if
you're
bringing
something
that
is
that
the
city
is
doing
it
already
kind
of
checks
that
box
in
some
sense,
but
in
general
it
should
be
community
supported
and
as
far
as
transparency
of
the
process,
I'm
just
acknowledging
that
the
requests
that
go
into
the
system
you
know
are
very
public
and
when
our
members
decide
which
projects
to
advance.
All
of
that
is
very
open
to
the
public.
J
J
J
J
So
there
seems
to
be
a
there's
kind
of
a
part
where
they
lose
some
control
over
it.
And
so
we
would
really
need
them
to
go
the
extra
mile
for
a
couple
things
in
order
to
try
to
rein
in
and
maintain
that
as
a
priority
out
of
the
hundreds
of
requests
from
the
state
where,
whereas
it
seems
on
the
house
side
as
long
as
the
projects
are
really
appropriate
for
the
earmark
that
what
the
house
member
selects
is
more
likely
to
then
stick
at
the
end
of
the
entire
process.
J
So
those
were
the
kind
of
what
we
articulated
as
priorities.
Last
year,
nine
of
the
11
projects
we
put
all
11
every
viable
city
project,
goes
into
the
system
because
there's
so
much
unpredictability
too
about
as
we
go,
we
keep
learning
more
about
what's
competitive
and
so
on
so
nine
out
of
the
eleven.
Then
our
senators
said
we
will.
J
We
will
support
these
and
we'll
move
them
on
to
the
next
step
and
then
one
of
the
11
representative
omar
added
to
her
list,
which
was
woodah
commons,
so
that
project
is
in
seward
and
it
is
affordable.
Housing
with
multi-family
housing
units
that
are
more
suitable
for
large
immigrant
family
needs,
and
it
was
also
a
woman
and
by
poc
developer
from
I
think,
newer
industries
who
was
leading
that
work.
So
that
was
what
was
funded
last
year,
although
we're
still
waiting
for
the
details
on
when
the
check
is
coming.
J
So
I
think
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
at
the
end
of
this
process,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
wonderful
things
supported
whether
it's
the
city
enterprise
or
things
that
we
care
about
outside
the
enterprise.
So
last
year
you
know
sprinklers.
For
public
housing,
north
commons
park,
sabathany
center
had
some
building
renovations,
hennepin
healthcare,
east
lake
clinic
yeah,
there's
a
very
extensive
list
of
what
got
funded.
J
All
right,
so,
as
far
as
the
process
that
we
use
again,
igr
is
just
trying
to
facilitate
and
coordinate
to
see.
Do
we
have
projects
that
the
enterprise
should
ask
for
some
support
on?
So
once
again
we
went
to
the
departments
and
said
we
have
this
really
short
notice
process.
Again
we
have
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
questions
that
we
know.
We
still
have
answers
to.
Do
you
have
something
that's
really
ready
to
go.
You
know
that
has
you
know
that
is
maybe
building
on
something
you're
already
doing.
J
J
J
So
at
the
end
of
that
process
we
ended
up
with
nine
projects
you
see.
Did
I
skip
something?
No,
okay.
We
ended
up
with
nine
projects
that
we
thought
met
basic
viability,
standards
so
again.
Major
factors
here
were
kind
of
readiness
to
go
and
also
seem
like
a
match
for
the
earmarks
process
in
general.
We
think
there's
potential
that
they
could
tap
into
that
so
and
I'm
gonna
try
to
give
the
quick
high-level
description
of
these
and
then
and
then
in
some
cases,
staff
is
here
to
answer
questions
all
right.
J
So
the
community
development
corporation
would
by
fully
supporting
the
development
of
that
community-based
development
corporation
it
they
can
establish
themselves
and
the
program
and
everything
necessary
to
essentially
guide
all
the
elements
of
the
strategic
plan,
so
we're
kind
of
creating
the
foundation.
That's
going
to
carry
all
that
work
forward
with
this
one.
J
J
J
Plymouth
avenue
apartments
is
63,
affordable,
housing
units
in
north
minneapolis,
that
is
in,
I
believe,
the
willard
hay
neighborhood
and
it's
been
identified
as
an
area
that
is
gentrifying
and
this
project
is
intended
to
make
sure
that
there's
housing
that
is
affordable
to
people
who
live
in
the
community-
and
I
don't
know,
if
someone's
here
to
speak
to
that,
but
there's
a
lot
more
detail
behind
that.
One
as
well.
J
J
The
next
item
is
replacement
police
radios.
So
again,
our
understanding
on
this
is
that
the
federal
government
is
mandating
that
certain
radios
that
are
commonly
used
in
government
be
upgraded
to
involve
a
certain
amount
of
encryption,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
understand
we're
going
to
have
to.
J
You
know
deal
with,
because
it's
a
mandate
there
are
needs
for
radios
in
other
parts
of
the
city
from
fire.
To
you
know
reg
services
as
well,
but
the
account
that
is
available
in
the
earmarks
process
is
for
law
enforcement
technology,
and
so
the
five
million
dollar
need
that
exists.
Citywide
for
radios,
we're
asking
for
and
I'm
sorry
I
do
have
the
numbers
for
these.
J
J
This
again
was
explained
to
us,
as
building
on
some
exist,
existing
programs
that
are
done
in
the
police
department
to
give
people
who
are
interested
in
a
law
enforcement
career
opportunities
to
learn
more
through
paid
internships.
You
know
so
they
they
work
with
step
up,
and
then
they
have
a.
They
also
have
an
explorer
program,
and
that
leads
into
other
avenues
for
those
who
want
to
explore
this
career.
J
J
The
next
one
is
school-based
clinics
city
minneapolis,
supports
clinics
that
are
located
in
some
minneapolis
high
schools
to
provide
mental
health
services
and
as
well
as
some
medical
services
and
right
now
there
are
a
few
extra
staff
that
are
being
funded
through
a
federal
grant
that
came
through
the
state
to
increase
a
few
staff
positions
in
high
school.
So
I
think,
there's
a
couple:
nurses,
a
medical
assistant
and
a
mental
health
professional,
and
so
this
request
would
seek
to
continue
those
jobs
when
they
end
in
june.
J
But
there's
always
like
there's
a
gap
in
that
process
where
there
can
be
a
need
for
capital
that
is
not
really
being
addressed
yet,
and
so
the
request
for
this,
which
is
another
two
million
dollar
request,
would
support
this
effort
and
help
fill
that
that
gap
that
can
be
a
barrier
to
doing
the
abatement.
Necessary
final
item
on
this
list
is
ada
pedestrian
ramps.
J
So,
as
I
men
mentioned
earlier,
when
we
do
submit
these
into
the
senate
process,
we
we
do
need
to
rank
them,
and
you
know
I.
I
think
that
the
ranking
has
limited
value
at
the
end
of
the
day,
because
because
this
whole
thing
is
such
a
puzzle
in
terms
of
determining
which
things
are
going
to
get
to
the
finish
line
and
which
things
are
ultimately
competitive,
it's
we're
still
almost
in
an
iterative
process
with
everybody,
and
we
are
working
very
closely
with
senator
smith
and
klobuchar
and
with
representative
omar's
office.
J
J
So,
in
order
to
really
determine
if
we
need
to
put
a
ranking
on
these,
you
know
and
what
you
know,
what
can
we
tell
about
them
and
how
we
should
potentially
rank
them.
So
we
had
discussions
with
our
federal
lobbyists
and
we
talked
to
staff
for
our
federal
delegation
and
in
those
conversations
we
were
really.
J
That
is
one
that,
because
it
was
on
our
list
last
year,
we've
had
extensive
conversations
with
our
members
and
they
very
much
encouraged
us
that
that
should
be
a
high
priority
and
that
they're,
very
supportive
tech
pathways.
I
think
in
general,
people
are
very
interested
in
providing
something
opportunities
for
our
youth
and
and
workforce
development
in
its
own
category
is
also
something
people
value.
J
So
this
seemed
like
a
good
project
and
with
both
of
these
projects,
another
element
of
their
ranking
highly
for
us
is
that
they're
they're
going
to
go
to
an
account
where
they're
seen
as
very
competitive
in
that
account
and
similar
types
of
projects
have
been
funded
in
those
accounts.
So
it
gives
us
some
reason
to
believe
that
these
are
have
a
chance
and
then
final
one.
We
would
prioritize
against
the
plymouth
avenue
apartments.
J
We
got
a
lot
of
feedback
that
people
really
wanted
an
affordable
housing
related
proposal,
and
we
have
one
so
and
of
course
I
mean
the
fact
that
wadog
was
funded
last
year
as
evidence
that
it's
it's
a
competitive
type
of
project
to
bring,
and
then
before
I
go
to
questions
okay,
so
I
discussed
this
topic
of
like
needing
to
put
a
ranking
on
projects
for
the
senate
process.
Again.
I
really
think
that
it's
got
very
a
limited
amount
of
weight
really
as
far
as
what
the
value
of
putting
that
ranking
is.
J
But
what
we
would
propose
to
do
is
put
them
in
in
this
order,
and
this
order
represents
that
mostly
that
technical
viability
was
a
huge
factor
here
like
are
these
a
good
fit
for
this
process
was
a
huge
factor
here,
but
then
the
stuff
that
rose
to
the
top
is
stuff.
That
is
a
good
fit
for
the
process
and
is
also
something
that
we
really
heard
from.
Our
delegation
matches
their
interests
and
priorities.
Very
well
so
that's
kind
of
why
something's
rose
to
the
top.
J
But
we
got
some
pretty
direct
feedback
that
there's
a
couple
reasons
why
that
one's
actually
not
good
for
an
earmark
and
the
feedback
was
that
there
are
basically
other
funding
streams
that
that
congress
might
see
as
available
already
for
this
type
of
thing
and
and
with
the
ear
market
they
might
trying
to
look
for
projects.
Maybe
that
don't
fit
an
available
funding
stream
and
in
fact,
like
that
reasoning,
actually
factors
into
why
the
three
that
are
at
the
bottom
are
at
the
bottom.
J
J
So
there's
you
know
this
is
some
of
the
factors
that
went
into
this.
The
police
requests
are
kind
of
in
the
middle
here.
Saint
paul
had
requests
through
this
process
last
year.
That
basically
are
very
similar
to
this
to
these,
and
therefore
we
do
know
that
they
are
competitive
projects
and
technically
viable
projects
so
again,
and
then
the
stuff
on
the
top
was
things
that
we
thought
were
technically
viable
and
reflected
the
most.
J
D
No
go
ahead.
Please
thank
you,
chairman
rainville,
and
thank
you
council.
President
jenkins,
I
just
had
a
quick
question
in
terms
of
the
process
of
determining
viable
projects.
You
mentioned
in
one
of
these
slides
that
primacy
strategy
group
just
interested
it
kind
of
their
role
in
helping
us
assess
viable
projects.
J
Yeah,
so
their
role
there
was
to
really
help
on
the
the
side
of
the
equation.
Where
we
were,
we
were
trying
to
determine.
Does
this
match
the
earmark
process
in
general
again?
Is
there
an
account
that
is
a
match
for
this?
You
know
kind
of
the
appropriateness
of
the
request
for
that
process,
so
they
didn't
really
have
you
know
the
ability
to
weigh
in,
on
the
other
question
that
we
were
asking
in
igr
when
we
were
discussing
with
each
department,
which
is
kind
of
like,
is
this
ready
to
go?
J
J
H
Like
our
state
legislature,
as
well
as
at
the
federal
level,
we
know
that
things
are
are
really
divided
and
you
guys
continue
to
to
to
work
full-throated
and
trying
to
bring
resources
and
positive
outcomes
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
So
thank
you
to
the
igr
team,
led
by
director,
moore
and
yeah,
keep
up
the
good
work.
J
J
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
just
want
to
echo
some
of
the
sentiments
that
I
heard
from
the
council
president
got
a
chance
to
see
our
igr
team
first
hand
working
in
dc
and
and
talking
to
our
legislative,
our
federal
partners
there
and
the
advocacy
is
tremendous,
and
I
think
that
the
work
is
is
really
good
and,
and
I'm
excited
to
see
this
list
and
I'm
excited
to
see.
You
know
we
sat
in
meetings
where
you
know
folks
were
encouraging
us
to
take
on.
K
You
know
some
of
the
policing
things
that
we
see
on
this
list
and
I
got
to
see
the
team
saying
yeah.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
asking
for
things
like
these
alternatives,
like
the
prop,
like
the
nature,
the
nature
code,
project
and
and
and
stuff
like
that.
So
just
want
to
thank
you
all
director,
moore
lauren
olsen.
K
Thank
you
guys
so
much
for
your
advocacy
and
all
the
work
that
you
do,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
whether
it's
issues
like
the
issues
that
my
colleague
councilmember
goodman
brought
up,
that
you
guys
are
the
team
that
we
can
really
rely
on
so
to
handle
those
things
and
to
lean
in
and
to
do
that
due
diligence.
So,
thanks
again
and
that's
all-
I
wanted
to
say.
E
E
I
wanted
to
highlight
the
38th
street
and
how
much
change
that
could
bring
to
both
the
council
president
and
my
in
my
award
and
the
difference
it
can
make
in
the
george
ford
square
area
and
how
much
work
that
you
all
do
is
very
much
appreciated
and
knowing
that
our
city's
taking
accessibility
very
seriously,
adding
this
to
on
the
ada
pedestrian
ramp
is
very
important
too.
So,
thank
you
all
for
the
work
you're
doing,
and
it's
very
much
appreciated
here
on
the
council.
A
I
see
no
further
discussion
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
report
and
with
that
we've
concluded
all
our
business
to
come
before
the
committee
today
and
hearing
no
objection,
I
will
declare
this
media
adjourn
and
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
patience
with
me
as
this
is
my
first
chair
and
I
stumbled
a
little,
but
thank
you
for
sticking
with
me.
Thank
you.
