We'll
form
it
this
way:
councilmember
payne.
C
D
E
B
President
jenkins
is
coming
chair,
palmisano
present.
Thank
you.
A
That's
12
members
present
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
colleagues,
we
have
two
items
on
the
published
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
a
walk-on
from
council
members,
chavez
and
koski
and
then
committee
reports.
First
order
of
business
will
be
the
arpa-related
expenditures.
We
have
finance
staff
here
if
there
are
any
questions.
A
Our
second
item
is
an
item
from
our
new
pattern
and
practice
investigation
subcommittee,
for
which
I
will
turn
the
meeting
over
to
those
committee
chairs
president
jenkins
or
council
member
ellison
for
that
portion
of
the
meeting
we
have
commissioner
lucero
joining
us
for
60
minutes
or
one
hour
of
her
time
today.
Her
presentation
is,
I'm
gonna,
guess
about
20
minutes
and
this
she's
nodding
in
an
agreement,
and
this
will
probably
leave
time
for
just
a
couple
of
questions
per
council
member.
A
F
A
Thank
you.
I've
anticipated
up
to
30
minutes
for
that
and
then
finally,
the
reports
of
the
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle.
This
puts
us
at
a
projected
meeting
of
approximately
two
hours
and
I'm
just
trying
to
manage
to
that.
As
I
know,
we've
had
some
very
long
committee
of
the
whole
meetings
and
I
just
want
to
help
set
people's
expectations
and
things
that
people
have
to
get
to
from
here.
A
So
first
item
number
one
is
our
regular
report
of
the
contract
awards
or
amendments
that
have
been
approved
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
by
the
ad
hoc
work
group
established
for
the
american
rescue
plan
act
related
expenditures.
Staff
does
not
have
a
presentation
for
this
item
today,
but
is
on
hand
if
there
are
any
questions.
Are
there
any
questions
for
staff.
A
A
Welcome,
commissioner
lucero
and
team
and
I'll
be
back
in
60
minutes
and
I'll,
give
notice
to
public
works
that
will
begin
their
presentation
at
approximately
2
pm,
so
council,
member,
oh
and
actually,
council.
President
jenkins
is
on
her
way
in
council
member
ellison.
Did
you
maybe
want
to
just
introduce
our
guest
and
then
we'll?
Have
the
council
president
take
over.
G
G
I
think
it's
really
important
that
the
council
be
involved
in
this
discussion.
Be
a
part
of
this
discussion.
G
Obviously,
we've
all
been
following
it
in
the
news,
and
we
understand
that
by
and
large
it's
going
to
be
the
mayor's
office,
the
executive
office
that
engages
primarily,
but
I
think
that
the
council
does
play
a
critical
role
in
helping
the
public
understand
what
these
findings
mean
and
and
to
this
point
I
believe
the
report
was
released
on
april
27th.
If
I've
got
the
date
wrong.
G
Okay,
I
think
I've
got
that
right
and,
and
the
council
hasn't
in
a
formal
way
engaged
with
the
state
on
these
findings,
which
is
why
the
council
president-
and
I
extended
this
invitation-
created
the
subcommittee
and
extended
this
invitation
to
commissioner
lucero,
so
that
we
so
that
the
council
could
formally
engage.
Commissioner
lucero
was
gracious
enough
to
accept
our
invitation
here.
G
She's
a
guest
here
in
in
our
city
chambers,
and
I'm
really
honored
and
excited
to
to
to
have
them
here
excited,
maybe
is
the
wrong
term,
but
I'm
certainly
glad
that
they
accepted
our
invitation,
and
so
with
that,
I'm
happy
to
hand
the
meeting
over
to
the
council
president
and
and
invite
our
guests
up
to
begin
their
presentation.
D
Thank
you,
councilmember,
ellison
and-
and
I
do
just
want
to
extend
my
gratitude
to
you
and
staff
for
helping
to
create
this
subcommittee
and
and
trying
to
bring
some
transparency
to
our
constituents
and
the
public,
and
so
with
that
said,
I
will
invite
commissioner
lucero
to
provide
us
with
the
report
good
afternoon.
H
Okay,
great,
okay,
wonderful,
so
my
name
is
rebecca
lucero
and
I'm
the
commissioner
for
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights,
and
I
just
want
to
start.
Let's
see
I'm
going
to
do
this
myself
here.
H
Okay,
so
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
is
the
state's
civil
rights
enforcement
agency.
We
have
been
in
existence
for
55
years
this
year
and
we
are
charged
with
upholding
the
civil
rights
of
minnesotans
under
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
Here
are
our
three
duties
that
are
laid
out
and
today
we're
talking
about
the
first
duty
investigating
charges
of
discrimination
and
this
specific
investigation
into
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
the
minneapolis
police
department.
H
H
So,
on
june
1st
2020,
we
did
that
we
launched
a
comprehensive
pattern
of
practice
investigation
into
the
city
of
minneapolis
to
determine
if
the
minneapolis
police
department
engages
in
a
pattern
or
practice
of
race
discrimination
in
violation
of
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
Now,
because
this
is
an
investigation
into
the
city
and
mpd.
H
These
find
these
findings
only
are
about
minneapolis
and
they're,
not
about
anywhere
else
across
the
state,
and
this
is
a
pattern
or
practice
investigation
only
so
what
does
that
mean?
We
get
asked
a
lot.
What
does
a
pattern
of
practice?
Investigation
mean,
and
it
means
that
this
is
not
about
an
individual
or
several
individuals.
It's
not
about
an
incident.
H
H
It's
intended
only
to
be
illustrative
of
the
patterns
that
do
exist
so
today.
What
I'll
do
is
I'll
provide
information
about
what
this
investigation
consisted
of?
What
are
the
findings
of
this
investigation
and
talk
about
where
we
are
with
next
steps
and
how
we
are
negotiating
a
consent
decree
with
the
city
and
what
that
looks
like.
H
Now
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
start
this
conversation
out
by
talking
about
the
temporary
court
order
that
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
obtained
within
about
a
week
of
announcing
this
investigation,
this
temporary
court
order
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
hard
work
of
city
council
members,
the
city
administrator.
At
the
time
the
mayor
was
just
really
the
chief.
H
It
was
just
all
of
us
working
late
into
the
night
over
over
many
days,
and
there
was
it
resulted
in
early
and
significant
public
safety
changes
in
minneapolis,
so
you'll
see
here
all
many
of
the
measures
that
are
in
the
tro,
but
one
clear
example
was
the
requirement
that
the
city
implement
a
policy
banning
all
choke
holds
and
neck
restraints.
There
is
no
exception
to
this
policy.
H
Another
example
here
is
that,
at
the
time
the
court
order
was
entered,
there
was
at
least
65
completed,
completed
police
misconduct,
investigations
that
were
awaiting
the
police
chief's
review.
At
least
four
of
those
cases
were
over
200
days
old.
This
information
was
brought
forward
in
part
with
the
the
accountability
systems,
I
think
was
opcr
and
ia.
People
who
brought
this
forward
that
this
was
implemented
as
part
of
the
tro,
because
after
the
tro
was
implemented
after
the
temporary
court
order
was
implemented.
The
police
chief
quickly
moved
on
this
backlog
and
final
discipline.
H
So
what
has
taken
other
cities
years
to
implement?
We,
we
all
of
us
here
the
city
council,
here
the
mayor's
office.
We
did
that
in
the
first
week
of
the
investigation,
and
that
was
the
first
week
of
the
investigation.
So
now
I'd
like
to
talk
about
what
we've
been
doing,
what
we
did
since
as
part
of
the
investigation,
so
the
team
of
investigators
conducted
a
comprehensive
investigation
that
looked
at
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
the
minneapolis
police
department
over
the
past
10
years.
H
We
wanted
to
make
sure
we
got
this
right
and
we
did
our
homework
so
you'll
see
here
right,
alongs
and
interviews
with
many
mpd
officers.
It
occurred
in
every
precinct
in
person
all
during
the
height
of
covid.
We
really
owe
the
rank
and
file
of
the
mpd
a
lot
of
gratitude
for
their
forthcoming
and
honest
feedback.
H
We
heard
recurring
themes
about
the
need
for
tools,
resources
and
strong
leadership,
which
is
really
essential
for
success.
You'll
see
here
that
the
team
of
investigators
watched
approximately
700
hours
of
body,
worn
camera
footage.
They
observed
87
hours
of
academy
training
and
reviewed
480,
000
pages
of
city
and
mpd
documents
such
as
training
materials
policies,
assessments,
emails,
social
media
and
discipline
records.
H
I
specifically
want
to
hold
space
for
the
over
2
200
community
members,
who
we
interviewed
or
provided
reports
to
our
agency
about
their
experiences.
There
was
15
listening
sessions
included
many
hosted
by
organizations
and
neighborhood
associations
across
minneapolis,
and
we
also
did
this
work
with
nationally
recognized
recognized,
policing
experts.
H
So
we
worked
with
policing
practice
experts
at
21cp
solutions,
many
of
whom
formerly
served
as
police
chiefs
around
the
united
states.
We
worked
with
a
renowned
policing,
statistician,
that's
greg,
ridgway
he's
a
professor
of
criminology
and
statistics
at
the
university
of
pennsylvania
and
he's
the
chair
of
the
department
of
criminology
he's
the
best
when
it
comes
to
policing
data
in
the
country.
H
This
investigation
would
also
not
have
been
possible
without
the
team
of
lawyers
and
staff
that
we
also
worked
with
at
kirkland
and
alice.
They
provided
a
tremendous
amount
of
pro
bono
support.
This
includes
support
from
lisa
madigan,
the
former
illinois
attorney
general
who's,
currently
the
partner
at
kirkland
and
ellis.
H
So
it
was
with
this
amount
of
work
that
we
found
that
the
the
city
and
mpd
engages
in
a
pattern
or
practice
of
race
discrimination
in
violation
of
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
H
Prime
is
primarily
caused
by
an
organizational
culture
that
can
be
described
in
three
ways:
first,
a
flawed
flawed
training,
which
emphasizes
a
paramilitary
approach
to
policing.
Second,
deficient
accountability;
systems
that
are
designed
to
not
hold
officers
accountable
for
misconduct
and
therefore
failed
to
hold
officers
accountable
for
misconduct.
H
And,
lastly,
former
and
current
city
and
mpd
leaders
who
have
not
collectively
acted
with
the
urgency,
coordination
and
intentionality
necessary
to
address
racial
disparities
in
policing
to
improve
public
safety
and
increase
community
trust
and
you're.
Going
to
hear
me
come
back
to
this
the
importance
of
coordinated
and
sustained
action
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
movement,
but
to
move
forward
successfully.
We
need
coordinated
and
sustained
action
move
moving
forward.
H
H
So
here
we
go
in
the
investigation.
The
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
looked
at
when
mpd
officers
used
force,
so
every
police
department
uses
force,
but
officers
should
not
use
more
severe
force
against
black
people.
In
fact,
it's
discriminatory
and
therefore
it's
unlawful
to
do
so
now.
Our
findings
show
that
in
minneapolis,
mpd
officers
use
more
severe
force
against
black
people
than
white
people.
In
similar
circumstances.
H
Now
we
analyze
traffic
stops
because
they
are
one
of
the
most
common
ways
that
mpd
officers
and
community
members
interact.
If
you
or
someone
you
know
was
pulled
over
by
an
mpd
officer
from
january
of
2017
through
2020,
then
your
stop
or
their
stop
is
reflected
in
this
data.
Around
traffic
stops-
and
here
we
found
that
mpd
officers
are
more
likely
to
stop
vehicles
with
people
of
color
and
indigenous
individuals
and
that
they
treat
black
and
white
community
members
differently
once
they
have
pulled
somebody
over.
H
So
mpd's
data
shows
that
mpd
officers
are
more
likely
to
stop
a
car
with
people
of
color
and
indigenous
community
members
when
their
race
is
visible
during
daylight
hours
compared
to
when
it
is
dark
outside
okay.
So
why
does
it
matter
that
we
look
at
daylight
versus
night?
That's
what
this
chart
is
showing
and
it
matters,
because
during
daylight
hours
it
is
more
possible
to
see
someone's
race
or
ethnicity.
H
H
So
mpd's
data
shows
that
officers
are
more
likely
to
stop
black
community
members
for
longer
search
black
community
members,
cite
black
community
members
use
force
against
black
community
members
and
arrest
black
community
members
during
a
traffic.
Stop
then
white
community
members
in
similar
circumstances,
I'll
just
note
here
that
our
data
did
not
mpd's
data.
Sorry,
this
is
mpd's.
Data
did
not
contain
sufficient
data
for
a
similar
analysis
of
latino,
asian,
indigenous
or
other
racial
groups.
H
However,
as
you
can
see,
mpd
did
have
data
to
analyze
looking
at
black
individuals,
and
so
that's
what
the
data
shows
here
again,
it's
important
to
stress
that
these
patterns
existed
throughout
the
city,
so
none
of
this
can
be
explained
or
excused
away
by
one
precinct,
and
I
want
to
take
a
moment
here
to
talk
about
the
methodology
behind
the
analysis.
How
did
we
determined
that
race
is
the
likely
reason
for
this
difference?
H
Now?
Most
of
the
time,
you
see
analysis,
that's
really
looking
at
proportionality-
and
you
say:
okay,
since
black
individuals
comprise
approximately
19
percent
of
the
minneapolis
population,
anything
over
19
percent
of
all.
Let's
talk
about
searches
of
all
searches
conducted
by
mpd
officers
of
black
individuals
would
be
disproportionate,
okay,
and
so
that's
what
you
see
here
from
january
1st
2017
to
may
24th
2020
mpd's
data
shows
that
78
of
all
searches
conducted
by
mpd
officers
were
searches
of
black
individuals
or
their
vehicles
in
mpd's
five
precincts.
H
This
is
a
pretty
substantial
proportion
disproportionality
here,
but
despite
the
substantial
disproportionality
of
searches,
we
sometimes
hear
from
city
and
mpd
leaders
as
well
as
mpd
officers,
that
this
disproportionality
is
due
to
factors
other
than
race.
So
you'll
hear
look
mpd
officers
patrol
the
parts
of
the
city
that
have
more
crime,
so
geography
is
the
primary
reason
for
this
disparity.
H
So
to
consider
this,
we
did
additional
analysis
that
looked
at
what
happens
with
mpd
officers
and
black
community
members
in
similar
circumstances
with
white
community
members.
So
we
did
this
apples
to
apples
analysis
to
see
if
black
people
and
white
people
in
the
same
situations
are
treated.
The
same
says
this
apples
to
apples
analysis.
H
Now,
let's
talk
about
covert
social
media.
Now,
law
enforcement
agencies
may
have
legitimate
reasons
to
track
social
media
activity
and
police
officers.
Police
departments
may
specifically
have
a
reason
to
use
covert
social
media,
especially
if
it's
a
clear
investigative
purpose
to
advance
public
safety.
H
However,
a
review
of
mpd's
covert
social
media
accounts
from
at
least
january
2010
through
december
2020
demonstrates
that
mpd
officers
used
covert
or
fake
social
media
accounts
to
surveil
and
engage
black
individuals,
black
organizations
and
elected
officials
unrelated
to
criminal
activity.
This
means,
without
a
public
safety
objective.
Now
what
is
a
covert
account?
H
So,
let's
talk
about
this
mpd
officers
used
mpd's,
covert
social
media
accounts
to
conduct
surveillance
unrelated
to
criminal
activity
and
to
falsely
engage
with
black
individuals,
black
leaders
and
black
organizations
in
one
post,
an
mpd
officer
used
a
covert
account
to
pose,
as
a
black
community
member,
to
send
a
message
to
a
local
branch
of
the
naacp
criticizing
the
group.
This
is
an
illustrative
example
of
the
pattern
and
practice
that
existed
across
the
board
here
and
mpd
officers
also
used
mpd
covert
accounts
to
send
private
messages,
criticizing
elected
officials.
H
H
Police
officers
can
use
covert
social
media
for
a
clear
investigative
purpose
to
advance
public
safety
and
police
departments
that
use
covert.
Social
media
must
have
clear
procedures
and
accountability.
Mechanisms
in
place
to
ensure
that
covert
social
media
use
has
a
close
nexus
to
a
true
public
safety
objective
and
is
not
being
used
in
a
discriminatory
manner.
H
Oh,
let's:
let's
talk
about
racist
and
misogynistic
and
disrespectful
language.
Now,
according
to
body,
worn
camera
footage,
discipline,
records
statements
from
community
members
and
interviews
with
mpd
officers
and
prosecutors,
some
mpd
officers
and
supervisors
use
racist,
misogynistic
disrespectful
and
offensive
language.
They
use
this
language
to
everyone,
to
criminal
suspects,
to
witnesses,
to
bystanders
and
to
fellow
mpd
and
city
employees.
H
We're
going
to
return
to
the
slides
about
how
this
pattern
of
race
discrimination
is
caused
by
organizational
culture,
and
this
is
because
it
is
created
and
demonstrated
through
consistent
behavior
now
mpd
maintains
an
organizational
culture
where
officers
consistently
use
racist,
misogynistic
and
otherwise
disrespectful
language
importantly
mpd
does
not
and
has
not,
through
the
10-year
period
uniformly
and
consistently
held
officers
accountable
for
using
this
language,
which
reinforces
this
kind
of
organizational
culture.
Now
this
consistent
behavior
manifests
and
reinforces
this
culture.
H
Okay,
so
we're
coming
back
to
this
slide
that
you've
already
seen.
But
let's
talk
specifically
about
this
organizational
culture,
starting
with
training
and
here
mpd's
data
shows
that
mpd
officers
are
using
unnecessary
and
excessive
force
that
they
are
escalating
situations
instead
of
de-escalating
situations
and
that
there
is
race-based
policing
occurring.
H
So
it
is
not
surprising
that
trainings
are
infused
with
a
paramilitary
approach
and
warrior
mindset,
given
the
data,
although
the
city
formally
banned
official
warrior
style
training
in
2019
as
mayor
frye,
that
did
that
much
of
mpd's
current
trainings
continue
to
embed
this
warrior
mindset
in
its
officers
on
the
very
first
day
of
the
academy,
training
in
2021
police
recruits
were
told,
instant
and
unquestioned.
Compliance
is
an
order
now.
H
H
H
The
choice
to
eliminate
these
trainings
in
is
concerning,
and
these
the
elimination
of
these
trainings
also
happened
after
this
investigation
was
launched
now
trainings
are
important
because
they
are
where
the
culture
of
mpd
is
taught
how
culture
norms
are
reinforced
and
what
happens
when
officers
violate
these
culture
norms,
and
here
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
found
that
mpd's
trainings
reinforce
a
culture
that
exhausts
exacerbate
a
pattern
of
race-based
policing.
H
And
I'm
going
to
start
by
talking
about
how
supervisors,
tacitly
or
directly
approve
inappropriate
and
potentially
unlawful
behavior.
So
let
me
give
you
an
example
that
illustrates
the
pattern
of
supervisors
approving,
inappropriately
and
potentially
unlawful
behavior.
H
So
this
example
here
is
an
mpd
officer
who
comes
into
a
bedroom
to
find
an
unarmed
black
14
year
old
sitting
on
the
phone
on
the
floor
playing
with
his
phone.
The
mpd
officer
demands
that
the
kid
stands
up,
but
the
kid
doesn't
do
so
fast
enough
for
the
officer
now.
All
of
this
is
happening
very
quickly.
H
Now
following
this
incident,
the
supervisor
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about
here-
the
supervisor
reviewed
the
file
and
approved
this
use
of
force
and
said
there
was
no
violations
of
policy
or
law
by
deeming
this
officer's
use.
Of
force
appropriate,
the
supervisor
effectively
authorized
the
officer
to
continue
using
such
egregious
force
in
the
future.
H
Then,
if
an
investigation
were
to
occur
and
in
the
example
I
just
highlighted,
no
investigation
occurred,
but
if
one
were
to
occur,
investigators
regularly
fail
to
properly
investigate
a
significant
percentage
of
police
misconduct
cases.
This
includes
misconduct,
cases
where
there
may
be
problems
with
race
discrimination.
H
Next
mpd
fails
to
consistently
hold
officers
accountable,
for
instance,
if
an
investigation
does
occur,
oftentimes
officers
are
supposed
to
receive
coaching,
but
the
investigation
found
that
37
percent
of
the
time
officers
were
supposed
to
receive
coaching.
The
supervisors
simply
did
not
coach
the
officers.
That
means
the
officers
did
not
get
that
support,
that
they
needed
resources
and
training
that
they
needed.
They
also
did
not
receive.
They
need
the
training,
resources
and
support
to
be
successful.
H
And,
finally,
when
disciplined
decisions
go
to
arbitration-
and
it
is
rare-
it
is
about
20
in
the
last
10
years
for
discipline.
They
are
often
reduced.
They
are
often
reduced
due
to
preventable
factors
within
the
city
and
mpd's
control,
so
one
arbitration
case
particularly
demonstrates
how
there
are
factors
within
the
city
and
mpd's
control
that
often
impact
arbitration
outcomes.
H
H
H
H
I
think
yeah
leadership
is
critical.
It's
critical
to
bringing
about
organizational
change
and
addressing
race-based
policing.
It's
the
coordinated
and
sustained
leadership
that
is
critical
and
through
our
investigation,
former
and
current
city
and
mpd
leaders
acknowledge
over
and
over
again
that
there
is
a
problem
with
mpd's
organizational
culture
that
results
in
racial
disparities
and
over
the
10
years
that
our
investigation
looked
at.
There
were
many
instances
where
city
and
mpd
leaders
acted,
for
instance,
as
I
mentioned,
minneapolis
banned,
warrior
style,
training
for
police
officers
in
some
cases.
H
This
statement
really
does
speak
to
the
scope
of
the
challenge
that
lies
ahead,
the
the
need
for
that
coordinated
and
sustained
work
that
lies
ahead.
So,
let's
talk
about
what's
next,
the
process
does
not
start
or
end
with
these
findings.
The
city
has
made
and
to
this
day,
continues
to
make
efforts
to
address
these
concerns,
and
there
are
lots
of
changes
that
the
city
can
make
and
is
making
that
do
not
require
modifications
to
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
or
state
law.
H
H
It's
a
but
unlike
previous
efforts
to
reform
policing
in
minneapolis
a
consent
decree
is
a
legally
binding
agreement
that
the
parties
are
required
by
law
to
follow
and
I'll
just
highlight
for
you.
This
one
pager
that
says
court
enforceable
agreement
between
the
minneapolis
department
of
human
rights
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
So
it
talks
about
what
a
consent
decree
process
is
in
detail,
and
so
it
lays
out
specific
changes
that
the
city
and
mpd
will
be
required
to
make
to
address
the
pattern
of
race,
discrimination
and
violation
of
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
H
It's
issued
by
a
judge.
So
it's
the
judge
that
holds
parties
accountable
and
monitors
that
report.
Progress
directly
to
the
court,
and
I
think
what
the
most
important
thing
about
all
of
this
is:
it
lives
on
past
all
election
cycles,
which
provides
for
that
sustained
action
that
is
necessary
for
success.
H
So
it's
not
subject
to
the
whims
and
the
challenges
that
we
are
all
under
with
election
cycles
there
at
the
bottom
of
this
one
pager
are
topics
for
court
enforcement
court
enforcement
agreements,
whereas
you
can
see
great
alignment
with
what
the
city
is
working
on
and
cares
about.
H
H
There
are
also
going
to
be
opportunities
throughout
july
and
august
for
engagement
events
and
sessions
that
those
are
being
hosted
by
the
minnesota
justice
research
center
and
those
should
be
up.
We
should
have
the
dates
for
those
up
soon.
I
think
there's
going
to
be
five
for
sure
and
throughout
july
I'm
happy
to
share
those
with
each
of
you.
H
So,
of
course,
I
started
this
presentation
by
talking
about
how,
following
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
there
was
demands
and
discriminatory
policing
practices
that
reverberated
across
the
world.
Those
demands
remain
just
as
urgent
today,
and
I
think
it's
just
important
to
end
by
talking
about
how
race-based
policing
is
unlawful.
D
Thank
you,
commissioner,
and
thank
you
to
your
team
for
all
of
your
efforts
in
compiling
this
comprehensive
report,
and
I,
in
light
of
time
I
know
you
indicated
that
you
had
some
engagements
you
need
to
get
to.
I'm
gonna
open
it
up
for
questions
from
my
colleagues,
but
also
just
want
us
to
be
judicious
and
respectful
of
commissioner's
time,
and
we
likely
need
to
limit
one
or
two
questions
per
council
member
so
that
we
can
accommodate.
G
Thank
you,
president
jenkins.
I
am,
I
gotta
ask
so
many
questions
and
I
wanna
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
today
to
be
here.
G
I
know
that
the
public
is
probably
extremely
curious
about
the
content
of
of
of
what
you've
presented,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
some
questions
about
the
process
that
we're
in,
because
I
do
think
that
this
process
has
been
really
misunderstood
by
myself
by
the
public
by
my
colleagues
and
so,
and
so
my
questions,
I'm
gonna
keep
them
they're
kind
of
compound
questions,
so
I'm
gonna
keep
it
as
short
as
I
possibly
can.
G
But
first
I
wanted
to
say
the
a
lot
of
what
you
have
presented
has
been
sort
of
referred
to
as
a
report,
but
it
is
not
actually
a
report.
Could
you
describe
what
this
document
this
public
document
is.
H
Sure,
thank
you
councilmember
ellison,
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
provided
here
is
a
civil
rights
investigation
process
that
lays
out
the
investigation
process
that
we
use
for
all
of
the
investigations
that
we
that
we
do
for
our
cases
here,
and
so
this
is.
This
is
broadly
speaking.
But
what
might
be
helpful
to
note
is
that
these
are
findings.
H
These
are
probable,
cause
findings
that
we
have
done
after
completing
an
investigation
so
where
you're
going
to
see,
that
is
right
here
on
the
determination
here
we
issued
a
determination
finding
probable
cause
or
no
probable
cause.
So
that's
where
we
are
here,
and
here
we
found
probable
cause
that
there
are
violations
of
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
So
we
completed
our
investigation.
H
We
have
found
that
there
are
violations,
and
then
there
are
next
steps,
as
part
of
this,
where
we
are
right
now
is
where
I'm
talking
about
like
pre-litigation
settlement
conversation
so
where
you'll
see
that
is
laid
out
is
called
conciliation
and
the
nomenclature
of
of
the
agency
right
now.
So
this
is
not
a
report.
Reports
are
where
people
where
people
do
they
look
at
things
and
they
make
their
recommendations
to
you
and
you
decide
what's
going
to
happen
next.
These
are
violations
of
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
H
We've
issued
a
probable
cause
finding
and
therefore
we
we
are
an
enforcement
agency,
and
then
we
have
to,
like
any
enforcement
agency,
have
to
move
to
remedy
these
violations
of
the
law
under
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
G
And
so
these
are
probable
cause
findings
which
I
think
is
really
important
for
us
to
understand
them.
That
way,
but
also
we
are
not
the
city
and
the
the
the
state.
We
are
not
in
active
litigation
right
now,
correct
correct.
How
would
you
describe
this
process
this
stage
of
the
process
and
then
I'll
sort
of
wrap
up
after
that
question.
H
So
right
now,
the
department
of
human
rights
is
seeking
to
negotiate
a
consent
decree
and
we
talked
what
that
looks
like,
but
it's
a
court
enforceable
agreement
with
the
city,
and
so
this
is
you
know,
settlement
discussions
and
you,
you
folks,
regularly,
are
looking
at
settlement
discussions
for
all
sorts
of
different
reasons
across
the
city
and
parties
engage
in
these
type
of
discussions
to
avoid
costly
and
protracted
litigations
and
really
get
to
the
work
get
to
work.
To
address
these
serious
problems
of
race-based
policing,
that's
undermining
public
safety
in
minneapolis.
H
G
And
so
thank
you
I'll
wrap
up
there.
I
just
wanted
to
for
the
layperson
you
know
which
includes
me.
You
know,
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
understand
these
are
findings.
Our
options
are
to
settle
or
go
to
court,
and
I
and
I
think
that
often
the
report-
the
I
almost
got
a
report
myself.
I
think
these
findings
have
been
made
to
be
to
feel
more
convoluted
than
that,
but
really
that's.
I
want
us
to
understand
it
in
as
simple
a
terms
as
possible.
So
thank
you.
Madam
president,.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you,
commissioner
lucero
for
being
here,
so
we
have
also
hanging
over
our
head,
this
department
of
justice
investigation,
as
well
with
an
undetermined
timeline
associated
with
that,
and
we
know
that
we
have
before
us,
and
I
think
that
was
a
really
great
clarification
for
me.
C
Like
findings,
not
report,
we
have
very
clear
findings
in
front
of
us
that
we
need
to
respond
to,
of
which
the
consent
decree
sounds
like
that
is
the
appropriate
response
versus
litigation,
which
raises
the
question
of
there
being
potentially
more
than
one
consent
decree,
one
from
the
state
and
one
from
the
department
of
justice
and
my
so.
My
first
question
is:
is
it
possible
to
have
more
than
one
consent
decree
and
then,
if
the
answer
to
that
is
yes,
what
potential
conflicts
or
risks
are
associated
with
those
overlapping
consent?
Decrees
or?
H
Councilman
councilmember
payne.
Thank
you
for
those
questions,
so
I
think
I
just
want
to
first
further
clarify
that
our
investigation
was
looking
only
at
violations
for
the
minnesota
human
rights
act,
so
we
have
no
jurisdiction
on
any
federal
violations
and
the
department
of
justice
is
looking
only
at
federal
violations
and
they
have
no
jurisdiction
on
any
state
violations,
and
so
I
have
so
that
that
you
one
could
be
in
violation
of
both
state
and
federal
laws.
H
Here
there
are
violations
of
the
minnesota
human
rights
act
and
we
are
looking
at
we're
looking
for
settlement
discussions
around
that
there
can
always
be
two
violations
that
have
occurred
and
two
remedies
that
come
out
of
that
which
could,
of
course
include
two
consent.
Decrees.
Now
there
are
always
potential
logistical
questions
that
can
occur
from
that
and
we
should
sit
down
and
have
conversations
around
that,
and
that
is
exactly
what
we
intend
to
do,
and
it
sounds
like
the
city's
intending
to
do
that
too.
H
So,
right,
that's
exactly
where
we
should
be.
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
the
the
department
of
justice
started
their
investigation
on
their
federal
issues.
11
months
after
we
started
ours
and
they
stopped
their
investigation
during
their
during
some
of
the
criminal
trials
that
they
were
working
on
as
well
so
and
they
are
still
in
active
discovery
and
are
still
reviewing
information,
so
the
conversation
I'll
be
having
today
would
be
very
different.
H
If
you
had
two
findings
in
front
of
you,
I
don't
have
those
and
you
don't
have
those
I
don't
know
when
they'll
be
done,
and
I
don't
know
what
they
will
do
when
they
are
done.
What
I
do
know
is
that
there
are
violations
of
the
minnesota
human
rights
act
and
we
are
moving
forward
to
enforce
under
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
Any
logistical
challenge:
we
can
and
should
have
conversations
around.
I
I
I'll
just
ask
the
ones
that
I
get
asked
the
most.
I
first
want
to
say
thank
you
for
acknowledging
that
mpd
officers
participated
in
this
process.
People
asked
me
more
often
than
I
expected
like
were
officers
forthcoming
with
information.
Did
they
you
know,
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
about
things
that
are
going
on
in
in
mpd
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
acknowledging
that.
My
first
question
is
about
the
covert
social
media.
H
Sure
so,
all
of
our
findings
that
we
have
about
covert
social
media
are
laid
out
in
the
determination.
I
don't
know
what
page
is
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
that's
where
you'll
find
all
of
that
information.
I
think
we
lay
out
that
there's
a
real
problem
with
oversight
and
accountability
and
want
to
talk
about
some
solutions
about
making
sure
that
there's
both
proactive
policies
in
place
and
then
really
good
tracking
processes,
as
well
as
some
auditing
processes,
to
prevent
there
to
be
any
problems
moving
forward.
I
Thank
you
and
then
my
last
question
is
what
expertise
and
resources
on
police
reform
can
mdhr
offer
the
city
going
forward.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
question,
so
we
actually
work
with
the
exact
same
experts,
policing,
experts
that
the
doj
works
with
so
21cp,
for
instance,
and
greg
ridgeway
are
the
same
policing
experts
that
the
doj
works
with
regularly
the
21cp
are
policing
chiefs
from
across
the
country.
They're
really
well
respected,
and
we're
excited
to
have
them
meet
with
the
police
officers
directly.
They
were
actually
supposed
to
meet
with
the
police
officers
in
every
precinct
here,
but
it
was
the
height
of
covid,
and
so
we
just
could
not
make
it
happen.
H
So
we
tried
a
different
tactics
which
is
like
hey:
does
anyone
just
want
to
come
in
and
meet
with
our
investigators?
It
was
totally
voluntary
if
anyone
would
come
in
and
we
found
many
officers
wanting
to
come
in
and
have
those
investigations,
but
for
this
next
phase
it
is
really
important
that
they
talk
directly
to
the
police,
chiefs
and
police
experts
themselves,
so
we
will
be
bringing
21
cp
and
also
we're
just
in
a
different
stage
of
the
pandemic,
which
I'm
very
grateful
for.
Thank
you.
J
You,
madam
president,
I
first
want
to
just
thank
council
president
jenkins,
as
well
as
council
member
ellison,
for
bringing
this
public
forum
together
as
one
individual.
I
can
speak
for
the
rest
of
my
fellow
council
members.
J
I've
received
much
of
the
information
and
updates
and
developments
around
this
process
through
our
media,
so
I
find
out
at
the
same
time
as
many
of
our
constituents
do,
so
I'm
really
glad
that
we
have
this
opportunity
as
a
subcommittee
on
this
legislative
body,
to
continue
discussing
this
crucial
work,
and
I
look
forward
to
many
more
meetings
and
then
finding
out
ways
how
to
support
the
continuation
of
of
the
discussion
in
this
public
forum.
Next.
H
Great,
so
thank
you,
council
member
for
that
question.
So
we
believe
we
need
to
move
urgently
to
meaningfully
address
the
serious
problems
of
race-based
policing.
That's
undermining
public
safety
in
minneapolis.
So
I'd
like
to
see
us
move
forward
meaningfully
this
summer
and
into
the
fall
here.
I
don't
have
specific
dates
for
you
at
this
time,
but
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
conversation
with
the
city
on
tuesday
to
continue
to
move
that
conversation
forward.
J
Thank
you,
commissioner,
lucero,
and
thank
you
for
raising
this
meeting
on
tuesday
june
21st,
and
especially
since
I
read
the
public
letter
you
sent
to
the
mayor's
office
last
week
that
outlined
you
know
what
is
expected
from
the
city
in
terms
of
attending
these
meetings,
to
continue
this,
this
very
crucial
conversation,
so
that
we
can
reach
a
place
where
we,
where
we
can
have
a
strong
settlement.
But
in
that
letter
you
stated
very
clearly.
J
You
know
that
mdhr
requests
that
the
city
and
I'm
reading
from
the
letter
request
that
the
city
brings
a
team
comprised
of
the
mayor's
office,
the
public
safety
team,
the
police
chief
city
council
president
or
her
designee,
the
director
of
the
minneapolis
department
of
civil
rights
and
legal
counsel,
who
are
able
to
discuss
these
issues
and
develop
a
coordinated
and
sustained
solutions
to
address
the
serious
issues
of
race
discrimination
that
are
undermining
public
safety.
This
said,
I
actually
have
a
question
for
our
city
attorneys,
and
I
see
the
mayor's
office
is
not
represented
here.
J
So
it's
going
to
have
to
go
to
you.
Can
you
confirm
that
every
one
of
the
individuals
that
had
what's
initially
listed
in
that
letter
will
be
in
attendance
next
tuesday
june
21st.
K
Through
the
chair,
councilman
wambley,
we
are
still
reviewing
that
letter
and
we
we're
still
making
determinations
who
will
be
present
at
that
meeting.
We
want
to
be
conscious
con
conscious
about
who
attends
how
to
make
the
most
efficient
use
of
the
people
that
do
attend,
as
well
as
the
time
of
the
commissioner,
and
so
we're
still
evaluating
that,
but
we
intend
to
move
forward
with
people
that
can
start
the
process
moving
forward
expeditiously,
as
the
commissioner
indicated
earlier,.
J
And
just
as
a
quick
follow-up,
so
it
sounds
like
there
is,
and
I'm
going
to
assume
some
coordinated
effort
and
making
sure
that
the
stakeholders
that
were
either
named
in
this
letter-
hopefully
those
named
in
this
letter,
will
be
at
this
meeting.
But
can
you
share
who
is
responsible
for
ensuring
that
the
people
on
the
city
side
see
the
leadership
who
are
necessary
to
be?
There
will
be
there
who
is
leading
that
charge.
J
And
sorry
last
question:
when
you
said
council
city
attorneys,
who,
on
the
the
council
body,
will
be
part
of
leading
that
conversation
of
who
can
be
at
that
table.
K
Councilman,
I
indicated
our
discussions
with
outside
counsel
internal
city
staff,
the
mayor's
office.
We
will
come
up
with
what
we
do,
what
we
believe
to
be
the
proper
group
for
the
first
meeting
as
we
outline
the
process
as
we
move
forward.
As
I
indicated,
we
want
to
be
respectful
of
everybody's
time
and
make
this
the
most
efficient
process
and
the
most
efficient
meeting
that
we
can
on
tuesday.
So
we
can
start
getting
into
the
timeline
that
the
commissioner
indicated
earlier.
K
D
And
I'll
just
confirm
that
I
will
be
there
too.
Seemingly
that's
in
question,
so
I
plan
to
be
there.
Are
you
done
with
your
questions?
Councilman
watson,
yes,
councilmember,
rainbill,.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
commissioner,
luciano.
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
down
here
in
person
I
I
know
we
all
have
time
and
you're
absolutely
right.
These
face-to-face
meetings,
the
relationship
buildings,
what's
so
important
to
heal
our
city.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
I
just
have
one
question:
does
your
office
have
any
experience
of
developing
a
consent?
Degree
managing
that
with
the
city
that
also
has
a
department
of
justice
consent
decree
hanging
over
the
head
so
to
speak?
L
I
share
council
member
payne's.
You
know
questioning
how
do
we
get
through
this.
H
Sure
so,
thank
you
so
much
so.
First
off.
Let
me
let
me
just
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
rebecca
lucero
or
lucero.
If
the
r
rolling
is
a
challenge,
so
really
appreciate
the
question,
so
we
have
extensive
experience
with
settlements
of
all
types
which
includes
consent.
Decrees,
so
we've
done
multiple
of
them.
Last
year
alone
the
question
around
the
department
of
justice,
so
it
might
be
helpful
to
note
that
the
department
of
justice
has
only
done
about
14
15
of
these
kind
of
consent.
H
Decrees
over
the
past
couple
decades
themselves,
so
these
aren't
incredibly
common
across
the
board.
So,
if
they're
issuing
a
consent
decree,
these
are
settlements
that
they're
entering
into
with
cities
and
they've
done
this
across
the
across
the
country
and
states
have
not
really
done
these
kinds
of
things.
Now
you
might
remember
that
when
we
brought
this
charge
of
discrimination,
the
department
of
justice
was
not
moving
on
any
similar
kinds
of
pattern
of
practice
investigations
and
we
launched
this
investigation
at
that
moment,
looking
only
at
violations
of
the
state
law.
H
So
if
we
were
to
enter
into
a
settlement,
which
is
our
intention
around
the
minnesota
human
rights
act,
it's
only
and
our
jurisdiction
is
only
around
the
minnesota
human
rights
act.
If
the
federal
government
were
to
choose
to
enter
into
a
settlement-
and
I
don't
even
know
that
they
would-
and
I
don't
know
what
kind
that
they
would
enter
into,
it
would
be
for
federal
jurisdictions.
H
Only
so
there
can
be
multiple
reasons
that
somebody
has
enforcement
actions
against
them
for
the
same
reason
think
about
somebody,
for
instance,
who
has
violations
of
state
and
federal
law
and
they're
in
their,
for
instance,
facing
criminal
liability
or
somebody
who
has
an
environmental
issue
that
they're
facing
both
federal
and
state
litigation,
and
they
have
remedies
that
they
have
to
clean
up
it's
fairly
common
for
people
to
have
multiple
enforcement
areas
or
requirements
that
they
face.
H
I,
for
instance,
used
to
work
for
twin
cities,
habitat
for
humanity,
and
we
would
have
requirements
both
from
the
state
government
and
from
the
city.
They
would
have
conflicting
requirements
sometimes
or
at
least
complications,
and
you
know
what
we
would
do
is
we
would
build
those
homes.
H
We
know
you
have
multiple
issues
where
you
build
roads
and
houses
and
everything
there's,
but
we
can
figure
those
logistical
challenges
out.
L
Okay,
so
I
apologize
for
mispronouncing,
your
name.
H
No,
no,
that's
fine,
it
happens
regularly
and
I
just
I
just
go
ahead
and
say
it
again:
it's
not
a
problem
at
all.
L
And
please
walk
away
from
here
knowing
how
how
we
view
this
so
seriously,
but
we
also
understand
how
complex
it
is,
so
we
have
to
manage
both
your
organization
as
well
as
the
department
of
justice.
Thank
you.
D
F
Thank
you,
president
jenkins,
and
juan,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
Commissioner
lucero,
I
have
a
few
questions
for
you
before
I
begin,
but
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
say
how
appreciative
I
am
of
your
hard
work,
and
I
was
a
latina
working
in
this
field
is
not
easy.
You've
probably
had
many
pushback
from
many
institutions
for
the
work
that
you're
doing,
but
a
lot
of
us
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
appreciate
the
work
that
you
are
doing.
It's
work
that
we've
known
for
years.
That
has
happened.
F
We
are
not
surprised
by
it,
but
what
we
do
next
and
the
actions
we
take
as
a
city
is
what
is
going
to
be
really
important
to
actually
move
forward
and
getting
this
consent
degree
done
sooner
I'll
repeat
sooner
rather
than
later,
as
only
latino
representing
my
community
on
this
council,
I
have
a
sense
of
duty
to
deliver
and
respond
to
a
lot
of
these
actions.
Based
on
the
findings
from
this
report,
I've
been
disappointed.
I'm
not
surprised
hearing
what
the
latino
community
has
been
pictured
as
from
these
racial
slurs
and
discrimination
in
this
report.
F
F
I
have
a
few
questions.
I'll
do
two
of
them
actually
to
respect
the
council
president's
wishes.
I
want
to
get
a
better
understanding,
at
least
your
professional
opinion,
on
what
this
process
should
look
like
for
the
city
and
state
to
address
the
findings
of
this
investigation
and,
in
my
opinion,
it's
imperative
that
we
get
to
this
consent
decree
as
soon
as
possible.
H
Sure
so
I
I
think
it's
just
really
important.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I
think
it's
just
really
important
to
stress
that
we
did
not
get
here
overnight
and
it
was
not
one
person
or
one
group
or
one
entity.
The
police
need
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
H
The
council
needs
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
The
mayor's
office
needs
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
It's
going
to
take
all
of
us
to
do
coordinated
and
sustained
work
to
move
forward,
and
so
that
is
what
I
believe
needs
to
happen
is
we
need
to
sit
down,
have
meetings
with
all
of
the
people
who
have
knowledge
of
it,
and
so
the
reason
I
believe
that,
for
instance,
the
head
of
the
minneapolis
department
of
civil
rights
needs
to
be
theirs
because
she
oversees
opcr
and
has
a
deep
understanding
of
the
accountability
systems.
H
The
police,
chief
or
designee
needs
to
be
there
because
they
have
because
they
oversee
ia
as
well
as
all
of
the
processes.
I
appreciate
the
desire
to
do
it
at
the
right
time
and
have
the
right
people
there,
but
I
would,
I
would
say
we
just
need
to
sit
down
and
that
is
going
to
happen
and
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
those
conversations.
F
F
H
Thank
you
for
the
question,
so
you
are
represented
by
council,
and
so
I
was
asked
to
be
here
today.
If
you're
asking
me
back
in
the
future,
we
can
see
if
that
makes
sense,
but
I
would
really
defer
you
to
your
to
your
accountable
and,
and
I
know,
there's
been
some
transition,
so
I
would,
I
would
ask
for
grace
and
patience
with
anyone
who's
going
through
transition,
but
that's
they're
there
for
you.
D
Thank
you
councilmember
chavez.
I
do
want
to
just
clarify.
It
is
not
my
wishes
or
desire
to
try
to
shut
anybody
down.
Commissioner
lucero
indicated
that
she
has
an
hour
to
be
here
and
which
is
why
I'm
requesting
succinct
and
direct
questions,
and
so
councilmember
palmisano
council
vice
president
palmisano
has
ceded
her
time,
and
so
next
I
will
call
on
councilmember
osman.
E
I
will
share
my
time
and
just
say
that
I'm
very
concerned
about
what
I
have
read
from
the
report
and
your
presentation
and
this
year
we
do
expect
another
report
from
justice
department
of
justice,
and
that
might
be
even
worse
news
that
will
be
revealed
to
us.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
for
coming
out
today.
D
H
Okay,
I'm
okay,
right
now
it
looks
like
there.
They
moved
something
for
me
here,
but
I
I
I
would
just
like
to
to
see
so.
I've
got
a
few
more
minutes.
We're
okay,.
D
H
J
D
To
ensure
that
our
colleagues,
that
our
constituents,
that
the
residents
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
timely
updates
from
you
and
your
team,
as
well
as
from
our
own
attorneys,
and
considering
that
we
know
we
have
a
department
of
justice
investigation,
that's
ongoing.
This
committee
will
be
standing
in
order
to
provide
updates
and
informational
sessions
to
to
all
of
our
colleagues.
D
So
I
appreciate
your
willingness
to
to
come
back
to
this
committee
at
some
point
in
time
and
and
share
whatever
updates
that
may
be
available.
Council
member
chuck,
tay.
D
Yeah,
well,
I
I
was
just
going
to
say,
given
the
fact
that
we
do
have
commissioner
lucero's
time
constraints.
We
also
have
additional,
really
important
discussions
to
have
on
this
committee
as
well.
So
absolutely
thank
you.
M
I
also
you
know
want
to
extend
the
same
note
of
gratitude
from
all
of
my
colleagues
here
for
the
extensive
amount
of
work
that
you
did
to
document
in
a
legitimate
manner,
probably
for
the
first
time
the
significant
degree
to
which
racial
discrimination
is
experienced
by
minneapolis
residents
at
the
at
the
hands
of
of
people
who
are
supposed
to
be
there
to
protect
them
and
care
for
them
and
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
times
in
their
lives.
M
With
that
said,
I
actually
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
back
and
forth.
I've
heard
a
few
times
around
your
request
around
regarding
specific
city
leaders
being
at
the
table,
and
I
think
what's
implied
in
there
is
perhaps
there
is
a
mismatch
in
who
is
at
the
table
right
now
in
the
productiveness
of
the
conversations.
M
So
can
you
just
for
the
record?
So
all
of
us
are
on
the
same
page.
Just
tell
us,
you
know
who
is
at
the
table
in
the
previous
meetings
between
mdhr
and
the
city
representing
your
organization
and
representing
ours.
H
H
We
have
you
know
our
policing
experts.
We
have
our.
Certainly,
of
course,
our
legal
counsel.
We
have
everyone
ready
to
to
go
to
have
these
thoughtful
conversations.
H
I'm
really
thinking
a
lot
about
the
conversations
we
had
around
the
temporary
restraining
order.
There
are
conversations
that
I
would
not
have
been
ready
for
around
the
auditing.
It
was
council
vice
president
paul
masano,
who
had
really
good
thoughts
around
the
auditing
and
many
things
that
we
weren't
able
to
get
in.
H
How
and
when
those
conversations
happen,
though,
does
not
have
to
happen
on
tuesday,
and
I
think
that
we
can
have
that
ground
like
that
initial
setting
conversation
on
tuesday
and
then
have
those
additional
conversations
with
those
right
people
moving
forward.
So
I
think
what
matters
is
that
we're
having
the
conversation
and
then
we'll
figure,
the
rest
of
it
out.
Yeah.
M
Thank
you
for
that.
I
have
heard
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
need
for
urgency
in
moving
forward
with
negotiations
and
moving
forward
towards
figuring
out
what
what
exactly
goes
into
a
consent
decree.
I
wonder
if
you
can
speak
just
a
little
bit
more
to
that
urgency
and
that
incentive.
M
So
can
you
tell
us
what
sort
of
incentive,
financial
and
otherwise
the
the
city
or
or
even
perhaps
the
city's
residents
have
in
the
negotiation
of
a
consent
decree
and
what
the
cost
is
again,
monetary
and
or
otherwise,
of
waiting
to
to
take
action
in
this
way?
And
then
I
wonder
if
you
can,
if
you
can
just
compare
that
a
little
bit
to
what
how
that
incentive
differs
for
outside
counsel
representing
either
party
in
in
these
negotiations,
sure
so.
H
I
think
that
the
reason
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
should
be
taking
this
very
seriously
and
is
taking
this
very
seriously
is
because
there's
a
shared
desire
to
address
the
serious
problems
of
race-based
policing
that
is
undermining
public
safety
in
minneapolis
to
your
additional,
very
specific
questions,
I'm
going
to
defer
to
your
legal
counsel
to
answer
those
questions
for
you.
Thank
you.
K
To
the
chair,
there
are
a
number
of
costs
that
are
at
issue
here,
there's
the
moral
cost
of
the
city,
not
moving
forward
with
this.
There
are
financial
costs
that
we've
witnessed
in
in
legal
settlements,
so
there
are
there's
a
wide
variety
of
the
kind
of
costs
that
impact
the
city
here
and,
as
I've
indicated
to
some
of
you,
there
are
also
costs
involved.
As
we
go
through
the
consent
decree,
there
will
be
costs
for
monitors.
K
There
are
a
lot
of
ongoing
costs,
but
I
think
the
important
thing
to
share
here
or
is
that
we
share
with
commissioner
lucero-
is
that
there
is
a
desire
to
address
this
problem
head
on
and
to
do
it
correctly
at
the
beginning,
so
that
all
of
the
costs,
financial,
moral
and
otherwise
in
the
future
are
minimized,
and
so
that's,
at
least
for
the
time
that
I'm
here
that's.
My
commitment
to
this
body
is
that
we
want
to
move
this
forward
and
consider
all
of
those
costs,
financial
and
otherwise
that
impacts
the
city
and
its
communities.
K
If,
if
I
may,
I
think
that
is
a
pretty
minor
part
of
the
calculation
here
I
understand
from
the
commissioner
that
they
have
pro
bono
outside
counsel.
K
D
Thank
you
once
again,
commissioner
lucero
for
your
willingness
to
come
here
today
and
you've
indicated
that
you
are
willing
to
to
continuously
address
this
committee
in
the
future,
potentially
as
well
as
thanks
to
your
team
and
staff
who
have
created
this
document.
That
is
a
series
of
findings.
D
We
have
been
erroneously
calling
it
a
report,
but
thank
you,
council,
member
ellison
and
and
commissioner
for
clarifying
that
this
is
a
set
of
findings,
and
so
with
that
and
seeing
no
other
no
further
questions.
I
am
going
to
ask
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
this
set
of
findings.
D
We
typically
do
that
with
reports,
but
and
thank
you
and
I'm
certainly
looking
forward
to
seeing
you
next
tuesday
in
person
as
well.
As
you
know,
subsequent
conversations
related
to
addressing
this
deeply
concerning
issue
for
the
betterment
of
public
safety
in
our
community.
A
Thank
you
council
president.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
going
to
be
the
hiawatha
campus
expansion,
conversation
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
council
member
chavez
to
run
this
portion
of
the
meeting.
F
Thanks
melissa,
good
time,
trepa,
masano
and
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
walk
this
item
on.
I
have
made
my
vision
for
the
future
of
the
east
phillips
site
very
clear.
While
there
has
been
a
variation
of
support
on
the
original
proposal,
I
am
still
committed
to
getting
the
best
possible
outcome
for
my
community
here
in
east
phillips,
who
I
support
unequivocally
and
have
worked
with
them
all
year
on
the
fight
for
environmental
justice.
F
There
have
been
many
different
plans
and
efforts
before
this
council,
and
even
during
and
before
my
time
here
and
now
we
are
all
trying
to
find
a
solution
that
works
for
everyone
for
the
city
and
for
my
neighbors,
where
we
can
rebuild
the
trust
of
my
community,
where
we
can
address
the
pollution
in
my
neighborhoods
and
we
can
bring
economic
opportunity
and
make
this
urban
form
a
reality.
And
today
is
a
step
towards
that,
and
I
am
very
appreciative
of
that.
This
is
a
step
where
my
community
can
be
heard
and
will
be
supported.
F
F
But
most
importantly,
I
want
to
thank
my
neighbors
in
east
phillips
for
the
continued
fight
for
environmental
justice.
We
would
not
even
be
here
discussing
this
today
without
their
advocacy
for
doing
what
is
just
and
right
for
east
phillips.
So
with
that,
if
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
slide,
the
agenda
will
be
talking
about
some
background
on
the
high
wattage
public
works
campus,
an
update
on
ongoing
conversations,
the
working
proposal
for
ebny,
the
high
water
public
works
campus
and
training
facility.
F
The
next
steps
on
the
working
proposal
a
little
bit
about
the
background
and
project
history
in
1991,
the
public
works,
comprehensive
facility
master
plan
was
completed
in
2011
city
council
authorized
discussions
with
ruth
people
for
acquisition
in
2010
phase.
One
of
the
hiawatha
master
plan
is
complete,
with
the
remodel
of
the
north
end
of
the
site.
F
In
2016,
the
city
council
authorized
the
purchase
of
the
roof
depot
building
and
property.
Again
in
2016,
the
city
took
ownership
of
the
roof
depot
building
and
property.
In
2018,
the
city
council
approved
the
master
plan
and
the
project
began.
In
2021,
the
city
council
approved
a
revised
master
plan.
F
Setting
aside
approximately
three
acres
for
community
development
and
now
moving
forward
the
current
city
council
term
council
members,
myself
culturally
costing
councilmember
johnson
met
with
mayor
jacob
fry
who
is
here
today,
department
directors
after
the
veto,
to
discuss
alternative
proposals
on
a
way
to
move
forward
together
and
then
council
members,
mayor,
frye
department,
directors
and
representatives
of
ebony
and
ward
9
community
members
began
to
work
towards
alternative
proposals.
F
Moving
forward
anticipated
actions
that
this
body
will
be
taking.
The
city
council
will
consider
the
final
proposal
at
the
next
council
full
council
meeting,
not
the
one
coming
up
on
thursday,
but
the
following
on
june
30th,
2022,
ebny
and
mayor
fry,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
will
meet
on
june
27th
to
discuss
this
proposal
forward.
F
Mayor
frye
will
consider
the
final
proposal.
If
this
body
chooses
to
approve
it
and
then
the
city
of
minneapolis
will
continue
collaborating
with
ebony
and
warning
community
members
as
we
move
forward
to
that
future
together,
the
two-week
comment
period
is
really
critical,
we'll
be
my
colleague
customer
classy
will
be
explaining
that
component
towards
the
end,
but
did
want
to
mention
that
that
will
also
happen.
F
I
think
somebody
else
had
that
for
the
update
and
ongoing
conversations,
I
personally
have
meetings
with
ebony
every
friday
at
8
30
a.m.
Me
and
my
team
get
up
early
in
the
mornings
and
continue
to
work
with
east
phillips,
neighbors
hearing
their
concerns
and
their
what
they
need
to
be
able
to
be
supported
in
this
entire
process.
F
And
then
council
members
have
been
having
update
meetings
with
ebony
and
community
leaders.
We've
had
many
informational
meetings
and
then
we
had
a
great
proposal
meeting
with
city
leadership
in
this
process,
east
phillips
neighbors
did
meet
with
the
mayor
and
department
leadership
and
they
were
able
to
get
a
lot
of
commitments
and
support
in
that
conversation,
which
will
be
expanded
on
the
meeting
on
the
27th
as
well.
A
N
Vice
president
council
president
chair
chavez,
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
and
present
this
proposal.
I
know
this
is
a
walk-on
issue.
I
hope
this
is
a
walk-off
win
for
both
the
community
and
the
city.
I
know
a
little
baseball
humor
there
in
the
middle
of
this,
so
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
hiawatha
campus
plan.
This
slide
shows
you
that
we
are
in
this
plan
now,
carving
out
three
acres.
N
That
would
be
available
to
epni
to
be
able
to
develop
in
an
exclusive
rights
situation.
I
also
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
portion
right
above
the
pink
and
on
the
edge
of
the
yellow,
color,
we'll
also
have
on
the
city
part
of
the
property.
This
part
that
says
existing
site,
public
works
yard
will
be
the
portion
where
the
new
training
center
will
go,
and
the
training
center
is
a
very
important
part
of
this
plan
and
to
everyone
to
the
community
to
the
city.
All
of
us
and
we're
excited
to
bring
that
back
together.
N
So
some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
working
on
both
in
public
works,
working
with
our
colleagues
in
cped,
as
well
as
in
property
services,
are
ways
to
make
this
a
very
beneficial
proposition
to
the
community.
Frankly,
and
so
allowing
35
percent
of
the
roof
depot
site
currently
to
be
available
for
community
use.
N
The
project
is
going
to
be
remediated
per
the
mpca
and
minnesota
department
of
agriculture
rules,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
that's
important-
and
we
have
now,
as
of
today,
been
able
to
fully
provide
the
remediation
plan
to
both
the
community,
the
500
and,
I
think,
around
70
pages,
and
to
anyone
else
who
needed
it.
They
now
have
that
in
tone.
We
could
talk
about
that
if
we
need
to.
But
I
know
this
is
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
faster
presentation.
N
The
roof
depot
site
currently
does
not
meet
current
storm
water
management.
As
you
can
imagine,
this
building
has
not
been
used
for
a
number
of
years,
so
it
is
not
properly
tied
in
this
site
will
have
proper
storm
water
management
and
it
will
also
meet
all
regulatory
requirements
to
improve
the
water
quality.
In
the
watershed,
that's
important
here,
this
site
has
been
polluted
for
a
number
of
years,
and
so
it's
a
very
careful
process
that
we
have
to
go
through.
N
The
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
will
support
the
city's
green
fleet
policy
and
electrification
policy,
and
we
are
going
to
follow,
but
one
of
our
things
that
we
have
been
discussing
with
communities
going
above
and
beyond
in
terms
of
our
electric
fleet
replacement
here,
and
so
this
is
a
this
community.
N
The
community
of
east
phillips
has
been
a
challenged
community,
both
air,
pollution-wise
and
other
pollutants,
and
we
know
this
very
well,
and
so
our
commitment
is
to
move
as
quickly
as
possible
for
electrification
of
the
light
and
medium
duty
fleet
to
be
able
to
get
those
tailpipe
emissions
out
of
the
air.
N
N
N
So
again,
the
benefit
here
is
that
we
are
also
going
to
prepare
those
three
acres
to
be
able
to
be
hooked
up
to
the
storm
water
system
to
be
clean,
ready
for
development.
N
The
new
public
works
building
is
a
community
bicycle
facility
also
have
a
great
bicycle
room
for
our
employees,
which
is
part
of
the
strategy
to
get
people
to
change
their
trips
of
how
they
are
coming
to
the
facility,
but
it
also
will
have
the
benefit
of
having
access
for
the
community
to
the
public
facing
side
of
that
bicycle
facility.
N
Public
art
will
be
at
the
facility
as
well
in
the
surrounding
area,
with
a
community-based
steering
committee
and
the
I
think
some
of
the
important
parts
of
this
community
benefit
deal
are
really
around
this
exclusive
development
rights.
I'd
say
this
is
one
of
the
things
and
the
mayor
can
speak
to
this
councilman
chavez
can
speak
to
this,
that
this
is
a
huge
breakthrough
in
where
we
are
today,
as
well
as
the
consideration
for
the
write
down
of
the
sale
or
lease
price.
N
We
are
working
on
that
with
the
attorneys
to
make
sure
that
this
three
acres
or
35
percent
of
the
property
does
not
trigger
a
repayment
of
the
water
fund,
but
that
we
can
work
this
out
for
the
community
in
such
a
way
that
they
don't
have
that
burden
on
them,
and
I
don't
know
if
I
think
I
might
be
up
to
mine
one
more
all
right.
We
also,
as
the
city
are
going
to
support
epnis,
seeking
a
state
allocation
in
support
of
development
at
the
site
and
even
going
beyond
that.
N
N
This
is
important
that
we
also
are
recognizing
the
south
side
green
zone
and
as
we're
working
on
the
public
works
training
facility
and
the
building
there's
going
to
be
ongoing
communication.
This
is
not
just
asking
all
of
you
to
do
something
and
take
an
action,
and
then
we
go
back
apart.
It's
really
important
that
we
have
ongoing
good
communication
and
council
member
chavez's
office
is
going
to
be
a
very
important
part
of
that.
We
also
know
that
we'll
be
having
some
very
regular
meetings
with
the
community,
especially
as
we
go
into
this
next
stage.
N
N
I
think
property
services
and
public
works
sees
this
as
a
partnership
to
be
able
to
keep
eyes
on
the
ground
of
what's
happening
and
be
able
to
make
sure
that
you
know
all
the
remediation
plans
are
being
followed
well
and
then
finally,
working
working
to
conduct
community
education
sessions
in
the
public
works
building
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
train
facility.
So
there
are
a
number
of
things
we
can
do
here.
N
Another
thing
the
community
has
expressed
is
real
interest
in
partnership
with
the
department
of
health
in
the
city
to
work
on
some
of
the
both
ongoing
environmental
justice
issues
things
people
face
in
their
home
as
well
as
things
that
people
face
outside
their
home,
and
so,
mr
chair.
That
concludes
my
portion,
and
I
will
stand
by
for
questions.
O
There's
still
one
more
segment
of
the
of
the
presentation,
certainly
we
can
do
questions
now
or
we
can
do
questions
after.
I
finish.
O
O
The
portion
of
my
deck
is
related
to
additional
commitments
that
were
made
after
this
june
3rd
meeting
that
we
had
with
council
members
with
director
and
with
some
community
members
regarding
the
next
steps
for
this
particular
project,
and
I
really
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
give
a
big
thank
you
to
councilmember
chavez
for
his
work
with
community
for
to
council
member
koski
for
her
work,
helping
to
facilitate
this
process
and
a
big
thank
you
as
well
to
director
kelleher
for
her
leadership
and
on
the
logistics.
K
O
P
Great
thank
you,
council
and
mayor.
We
just
have
one
slide
here
that
we
would
like
to
address,
and
that
would
be
a
part
of
this
sort
of
more
global
action,
and
that
would
be
that
the
should
the
council
choose
to
grant
exclusive
development
rights
to
ep.
I
it
would
be
contingent
on
dismissal,
with
prejudice
of
all
pending
legal
actions
in
this
area.
P
It
was
not
a
proposal
that
triggered
mandatory
environmental
review.
We
did
we
wanted
to
do
it,
but
so
so
that
action
is
out
there
as
well
and
so
as
the
slide
notes,
sort
of
for
lack
of
a
better
word.
The
deal
here
would
involve
dismissal
of
those
pending
legal
actions
as
well.
O
Thank
you,
mr
nielsen,
and
my
apologies
for
jumping
the
gun
on
that
one.
That
is
indeed
an
important
slide.
Is
the
dismissal
of
that
suit
and
is
one
of
the
main
pieces
that
this
whole
agreement
is
contingent
upon.
So,
as
I
mentioned
on
june
3rd,
we
met
with
council
members
with
director
kelleher
with
epni
and
some
ward
9
leaders,
and
we
charted
a
path
forward,
and
indeed
this
has
been
a
a
long
road.
O
But
over
the
last
few
months,
we've
really
had
the
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
a
group
of
people
and
try
to
find
some
areas
of
of
both
consensus,
but
even
have
a
better
and
improved
route
forward
where
we're
getting
multiple
victories.
At
the
same
time,
and
and
through
those
conversations,
we
work
to
arrive
at
the
shared
vision
that
we're
presenting
and
that
shared
vision
has
been
enhanced.
Yet
again,
following
the
meeting
that
we
had
on
june
3rd,
so
to
move
on
to,
I
believe,
slide
16.
O
First,
we're
committing
to
accelerating
the
deployment
of
electric
vehicles
at
the
site,
and
this
was
in
response
to
some
of
the
health
concerns
that
community
members
brought
up
and
we
heard
from
the
community,
and
we
would
also
like
to
pilot
a
solar
charging
pod
at
the
current
facility
and
again
these
are
additional
improvements
or
benefits
that
we've
added.
Since
that
meeting
slide
17
is
next.
We
work
to
further
limit
the
number
of
parking
spaces
at
the
site.
Again,
that
was
in
response
to
some
concerns
from
neighbors.
O
So,
in
addition
to
the
removal
of
those
parking
spaces
that
are
outlined
on
the
slide,
we're
also
exploring
some
options
to
include
different
hybrid
models
that
may
this
is
hybrid
working
arrangements
that
we
may
be
able
to
utilize.
That
would
further
reduce
the
number
of
of
cars
that
would
be
going
to
the
site
and
again
just
from
a
common
sense
perspective
for
each
person
that
arrives
in
a
vehicle.
That's
actually
two
trips,
one
there
and
one
back
home.
O
O
And
finally,
we
heard
interest
from
the
community
about
having
access
from
their
three
acre
portion
to
the
greenway
itself
and
we're
going
to
do
that
through
a
widened
sidewalk
with
some
green
space
in
the
boulevard
and
that's
planned
to
ensure
that
this
connection
is
made.
And
then
finally-
and
this
kind
of
has
already
been
mentioned.
But
the
some
people
wanted
access
to
the
remediation
plan.
O
There
is
an
extensive
remediation
plan
that
will
involve
both
the
city's
facility,
as
well
as
the
facility
that
could
would
ultimately
be
run
by
community
members
and
we
will
be
undergoing
a
significant
remediation
and
while
the
logistics
and
technicalities
of
that
plan
are
far
beyond
my
pay
grade,
that's
certainly
something
that
we
can
set
up
an
opportunity
for
them
to
hear
directly
from
experts
on
the
subject
matter
as
to
how
the
remediation
will
take
place
again,
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
has
gone
into
this
and
I
believe
I'm
turning.
Q
Q
Q
Q
F
You
councilman
cossi,
thank
you,
everyone
for
being
here
today
and
being
a
part
of
this
long
journey.
I
know
it
has
been
a
long
road,
but
I
know
the
continuous
conversations
with
my
community
here
in
ward
9
has
been
really
critical.
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
comment
period,
looking
forward
to
the
meeting
on
the
27th
and
looking
forward
to
doing
something
really
important
for
for
my
community
here
in
east
phillips
that
deserves
it.
E
E
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
the
process
that
we
got
here
today,
we're
not
really
debating
anymore
in
a
way
because
now
we
have
the
city,
our
city
leaders
coming
together
and
coming
up
and
listening
to
community
and
coming
up,
and
that
happened
because
of
your
leadership,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
do
have
a
question
about
training
facility.
I'm
I'm
really
happy
director
to
hear
the
training
facility.
It's
really
wonderful!
E
It's
what
I
was
always
looking
for
the
training,
the
water
facility,
we're
building
here
the
workers
that
usually
work.
There
are
not
people
from
this
community.
You
know
it's
because
of
that
lack
of
opportunity.
We
don't
have
east
african,
latino
or
native
american
that
are
doing
jobs
that
require
public
works,
jobs
or
water
facility
jobs.
So,
in
this
training
facility
I
do
like
to
see
public
works,
jobs
and
water
facilities,
specifically
those
kind
of
jobs
and
not
just
really
throwing.
Oh.
E
This
is
a
training
facility
where
it
will
not
only
focus
on
this
on
this
job.
So
why
I
say
that,
because
if
you
want
to
become
a
public
works
job-
and
you
want
to
do
a
heavy
lifting
or
or
a
different
type
of
required,
different
type
of
skills
and
those
kind
of
training
facilities
are
not
close
to
our
city.
You
have
to
travel,
maybe
a
couple
hours
to
get
that
training.
E
So
I
want
to
expose
this
training
to
you
know
the
youth
that
live
here
and
you
see
the
riverside
or
ward
9
or
you
know
little
earth
in
that
area.
So
how
can
you
could
you
tell
me
more
about
what
pacific
training
will
have
in
that
area?.
N
So,
mr
chair
and
council
member
osman,
I
think
that
a
lot
of
people
had
done
some
thinking
about
the
training
facility
before
it
had
gone
out
of
the
plan
last
year.
But
I
do
know
and
agree
with
you
that
many
of
the
training
facilities
that
are
available
to
people
to
do
jobs
in
public
works
exist
outside
of
the
city
and
it's
always
been
a
little
bit
of
a
curious
thing
for
me
as
well.
To
know
that
we
don't
have
this
sort
of
facility
in
the
city.
So
now
we
will
have
it.
E
Oh,
thank
you
so
much.
It's
well-paying
jobs,
it's
the
jobs
that
are
there
will
be
engineers
and
facility
workers
in
this
area.
In
the
future.
We
want
to
make
sure
those
people
are
from
the
community.
So
let's
work
towards
that,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
do
also
want
to
talk
about
the
community
development.
It's
it's
it's
great
to
hear
the
ep.
I
is
working
on
that.
I
also,
I
think,
having.
E
Things
I
heard
was
garden
bike
facility
and
arts
and
different
things
like
that.
I
think
it's
very
important
to
really
also
ask:
how
do
we
get
there?
We,
what
do
we,
you
know
the
native
american
east
african
latino
community
that
lived
there
what's
really
important
to
them
at
this
moment,
you
know
for
having
these
three
acres
to
build.
E
That
is
a
question
or
a
thought
for
ep
and
I
and
where
they
go
in
with
this,
but
yeah
just
want
to
kind
of
make
that
comment
and
again
thank
you,
council
member
chavez
for
your
leadership
and
council
member
koski
for
working
on
this
thanks.
F
Want
to
thank
you,
councilman
osman,
I
think
we're
all
very
excited
about
these
good
job,
training
opportunities
and
the
green
workforce.
That
can
happen
in
this
area,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
councilman,
johnson
and
councilmember
koski
have
been
really
supportive
of
this
from
the
beginning.
I
know
that
at
least
I
got
a
lot
of
mentorship
from
councilmember
johnson,
since
I
began
my
term
to
help
me
through
this
entire
process.
F
I
would
be
remiss
to
say
without
mentioning
his
support
has
been
part
of
the
reason
we
are
here
today
as
well,
and
the
support
of
my
friend
and
colleague
councilman
kasi,
being
here
and
helping
me
by
my
side,
this
entire
process,
so
them
two
have
been
instrumental
in
making
sure
that
we
can
hear
east
phillips
neighbors
as
well
and
making
sure
that
we
can
get
this
done.
But
this
training
opportunity
is
really
important.
It's
going
to
be
big
for
east
phillips,
it'll
be
big
for
the
surrounding
areas,
not
just
these
phillips.
F
D
Thank
you
councilmember
chavez
and
I
am
just
thrilled
to
see
this
kind
of
cooperation
between
the
council
and
the
mayor
between
the
community
and
the
city.
D
In
this
day
and
age
throughout
the
country,
throughout
our
city,
every
single
issue
is
divided
and
so
to
see
this
kind
of
collaboration
coming
forward
is,
is
just
really,
I
think,
important
and
and
dare
I
say,
delightful
to
really
see
people
actually
working
together
and
overcoming
this
dirty
word
has
become
a
dirty
word
compromise
and
you
know
to
to
know
that
all
sides
are
being
her
and
and
recommended
and
listened
to
on
behalf
of
the
entire
city-
and
you
know
I
I
reintroduced
this
conversation
last
term,
because
I
understood
that
this
could
help
bring
our
city
together,
and
so
I
do
want
to
just
compliment
and
express
my
gratitude
to
councilmember
chavez,
koski
and
johnson
and
and
mayor
frye,
and
also
the
community
members
for
stepping
up
and
being
a
part
of
this
conversation
and
recognizing
the
benefit
of
this
training
facility.
D
This
water
maintenance
facility
to
not
only
that
community
but
to
the
entire
city.
I
do
want
to
just
confirm
that
we
are
not
going
to
leave
out
african
americans
in
this
process
because
I
keep
hearing
about
immigrant
communities
and
I
think
everybody
should
have
those
opportunities,
including
african
african-american
soap,
and
I
was
pleased
to
hear
commissioner
director
anderson
kelleher
state
that
we'll
be
looking
at
a
two-mile
radius,
so
that
residents
of
ward
8
can
benefit
from
this
as
well.
D
And
so
I'm
I'm
really
thrilled
to
see
this
development
and
hope
we
can
have
more
great
conversations
around
everyone
benefiting
in
other
issues
that
are
facing
our
council
as
well.
Thank
you.
F
R
Thank
you
chair
chavez
and
I
just
want
to
express
similar
sentiment
as
council
president
jenkins.
You
know
this
issue
as
long
as
I've
been
on,
council
has
continued
to
come
back
before
us,
this
question
of
roof
depot
and
it
seems
like
there's,
been
twists
and
turns
throughout
my
entire
tenure
on
this,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
celebrate
prematurely
because
we've
been
we've
celebrated
in
the
past
and
and
found
ourselves
only
on
to
the
next
chapter
with
this.
R
R
What
can
we
do
together
and
that's
a
big
difference
and
I
hope
it
is
used
as
a
model,
as
council
president
jenkins
said,
moving
forward
for
how
we
approach
city
business
and
while
we're
not
across
the
finish
line,
yet
with
a
compromise
here,
it's
it
absolutely
is
worth
stopping
at
this
pivotal
moment
in
recognizing
just
how
far
we
have
come
and
and
how
we
can
learn
from
this
experience
today
moving
forward,
and
so
I
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
all
of
your
leadership
on
this.
Thank
you.
F
F
I
think
the
mayor
is
right
on
when
he
said
that
this
is
a
collaboration
and
a
step
forward
for
the
new
way
that
we
govern
in
in
city
hall
and
how
we
should
be
working
together
to
address
what
the
future
needs
of
our
residents
are
and
appreciate.
Your
your
service
to
our
community
councilman
johnson
appreciate
the
mayor's
service
to
my
community.
Here,
it's
really
critical
in
a
way
how
we
can
do
and
collaborate
in
the
future
of
how
city
hall
should
be
so.
J
Thank
you
chair
chavez.
I
really
just
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
speak
directly
to
the
community
who,
through
their
due
diligence
for
fighting
for
this
project,
for
this
vision
for
the
past
eight
years.
J
The
reason
why
we're
even
constantly
revisiting
this,
the
community
that
helped
build
a
very
strong
and
broad
and
diverse
coalition
around
an
exemplary
project
council
member
johnson,
you
mentioned
the
twists
and
turns
of
that
same
community
having
brought
not
only
majority
support
from
the
public
in
in
east
phillips,
community
and
just
residents
all
across
the
city,
but
also
was
able
to
get
this
city
council
to
also
demonstrate
majority
support
for
it,
which
was
then
vetoed,
unfortunately,
by
the
mayor
several
months
ago
and
as
what
was
acknowledged
on
sunday
at
our
community
meeting,
recognizing
that
where
we're
at
while
I
know
this
is
not
the
vision,
it's
below
what
you
all
advocated
for
and
what
you
deserve.
J
I
want
you
to
know
and
speaking
directly
to
you
that
please
don't
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
be
discouraged.
There
was
lots
of
those
feelings
on
sunday
around.
You
know
what
is
the
purpose
of
of
engaging
and
moving
forward,
and
I
hope
you
all
do
not
ever
stop
fighting
for
this
vision
with
what
is
before
you
in
terms
of
a
plan.
J
I
know
it
would
be
easy
to
walk
away
and
experience
feelings
of
of
when
you
fight
it's
not
worth
it,
but
you
have
demonstrated
so
much
power
and
you
are
just
getting
started
with
where
we're
at
in
this
in
this
phase,
and
it
brings
to
mind
a
quote
from
dr
martin
luther
king,
where
he
says
the
moral
arc
of
history
is
long,
but
it
bends
towards
justice
and
the
work
that
you
have
done
for
the
past
eight
years
has
has
helped
to
bend
that
arc,
and
I
want
to
just
note
that,
as
for
the
past
year
and
a
half
that
I've
gotten
to
know
councilmember
chavez
in
the
community,
like
I'm
here,
to
support
you
and
making
your
vision
possible
for
this
site.
J
I
know
many
of
us
who
have
shared
this
thus
far
on
this
diet.
It's
also
in
support
of
you-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
years
of
labor
and
resilience
in
this
process,
so,
regardless
of
whatever
happens,
because
you're
right,
there's
still
twists
and
turns.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
commitment
for
fighting
for
our
bipark
residents
and
fighting
for
the
just
and
equitable
and
anti-racist
environments
that
every
single
one
of
our
residents
deserve
and
you've
done
it
so
beautifully.
O
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
there's
a
number
of
differences
I
think
about
this
time
around
and
yes,
we
have
been
going
through
this
process
on
this
particular
issue
for
somewhere
in
the
range
of
nine
years,
and
there
have
been
quite
a
few
positions,
quite
a
few
iterations
of
the
plan
that
we've
gone
through
since
that
point.
O
A
Thank
you
so,
just
to
summarize,
this
walk-on
item
begins
a
community.
O
A
Cycle
and
we
will
be
looking
to
take
action
on
this
on
june
30th
at
the
council
meeting
on
june
30th
correct,
correct
great,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
this
item.
Finally,
we
have
reports
from
the
standing
committees
on
matters
to
be
considered
by
the
full
council.
This
thursday,
we'll
begin
with
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
chaired
by
council
member
goodman.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
is
bringing
21
items
forward
for
approval
on
thursday
items.
1
two
three
four

are
all

current

Item
number
six
is
a
change
in
our
ordinance
with
regard
to
revoking
or
cancelling
rental
licenses.
S
In
the
past,
the
process
was
that
it
was
kind
of
a
street
three
strikes
in
your
out
process
and
that
worked
for
a
period
of
time,
but
now
it
seems
to
be
more
obvious
that
it
would
be
more
renter
friendly
to
not
just
automatically
revoke
licenses
for
bad
players
but
to
try
to
work
on
a
case-by-case
basis
and
that's
the
suggestion.
Regulatory
services
has
made
and
that's
the

just
say.
I'm
I'm
hearing
that
it's
important.
G
We
move
this
item
forward,
but
there
have
been
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
item,
and
so
I
was
just
wondering
if,
if
there
was
a
city
attorney
that
could
help
walk
us
through
this
item,
it
was
quite
uncontroversial
at
committee,
but
has
since
sort
of
come
up
and
may
even
be
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
quasi
judicial
in
some
manner
or
but
I
I
guess
I'll
defer
to
the
to
the
attorneys
if
they
have
any.
I
insights
into
item
number
12.
P
Council,
member
ellison-
I
I
don't
know
a
lot
about
this,
so
I
may
have
to
defer
to
director
kelleher.
The
the
the
issue
here,
though,
is
that
you
have
a
recommendation
from
the
prc
committee
to
grant
these
these
additional
licenses
to
an
additional
company.
I
can
say
that
this
is
an
and
an
issue
that
should
that
be
denied
where
the
potential
for
litigation
is
probably
high,
and
there
would
be
some
considerations
that
I
would
like
to
discuss
with
you
not
in
a
public
forum.
Should
that
be
a
direction.
G
I
only
called
you
up
to
share
to
explain
some
just
because
there
was
some
desire
to
refer
this
item
back
to
committee,
but
it
feels
like
that
is
not
advisable
by
our
by
our
attorneys
and
so,
and
so
I
won't
be
asking
that
this
item
be
returned
back
to
committee,
and
I
apologize
to
my
colleagues
who
I
had
previous
discussions
with,
as
I
was
initially
open
to
going
that
route
item
number
13
is
the
I-35w
and
lake
street
transit
access
project,
reapproving
appropriations
and
bonding
for
construction
improvements,
road
roadway,
resurfacing
and
streetscape
component
item
14
is
approving
legal
settlements
for
steve
meldahl
versus
the
city
of
minneapolis.
G
G
Item
number
17
is
also
approving
a
legal
settlement
with
communities
united
against
police
police
brutality
versus
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
these
are
in
fact
two
different
items.
Items
19
through
28
are
legal
settlements
related
to
workers,
compensation
claims.
G
Oh,
that
might
have
been
a
slight
type.
Did
I
say
27
or
28
items
19
through
27
are
legal
settlements
related
to
workers,
compensation
claims
item,
28
is
considering
the
waiver
of
conflict
of
interest
for
frederickson
and
byron
and
item
number
29
is
considering
contracts
for
the
acquisition
of
the
first
precinct
police
station
and
then
item
30
is
a
staff
direction
for
the
analysis
of
future
property
needs
by
police
by
the
police
department
and
unarmed
public
safety
workers
and
I'll
stand
for
any
questions
on
these
items.
A
I
You,
madam
vice
president,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
will
be
bringing
forward
three
items
for
consideration
at
this
week's
council
meeting
item.
One
is
granting
a
consent
to
the
mayor's
nomination
for
brian
tyner
to
be
appointed.
The
position
of
fire
chief
item
two
is
approving
appointments
to
the
commission
on
civil
rights
and
item
three
is
authorizing
contracts
with
organizations
for
the
partnership,
engagement
fund,
I'll
stand
for
questions
on
these
items.
A
R
R
The
second
item
are
a
number
of
appointments
to
the
bicycle
advisory
committee,
and
the
third
item
relates
to
the
hennepin
avenue
south
reconstruction
project
layout
approval,
easements
and
repealing
associated
one-way
street
and
parking
restrictions.
I
will
note
for
colleagues
that
hadn't
tuned
into
the
committee
that
the
committee
did
amend
the
layout
for
hennepin
avenue
south
street
reconstruction
project
to
reflect
no
parking
in
the
dedicated
transit
lanes.
R
I
know
that
there
was
an
email
as
well
sent
out
to
council
members
with
that
amendment
and
before
the
committee,
and
I
would
encourage
you
if
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
check
out
the
committee's
proceedings.
There's
extensive
discussion
as
well,
and
so
that's
something
that
you
can
reference
too
and
I
will
stand
for
any
questions
that
can
be
or
that
council
members
may
have.
A
Thank
you,
I'm
also
not
seeing
any
questions
from
that
committee.
Colleagues,
we
have
a
very
large
agenda
in
front
of
us
at
this
committee
meeting
on
at
our
full
council
meeting
on
thursday,
but
with
this
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
committee
the
whole
today.
I
do
look
forward
next
time
to
getting
back
to
our
government
restructure
conversations,
and
that
is
what
will
be
on
on
point
for
the
next
committee
of
the
whole
meeting.
It
was
important
to
make
space
for
these
other
conversations
today.
So
thank
you.
Everyone.
