Council
members.
This
meeting
is
for
the
purpose
of
organizing
the
body
for
the
conduct
of
business
in
the
coming
two-year
term.
This
meeting
is
convened
pursuant
to
notice,
as
required
by
law.
That
notice
was
included
in
the
transition
calendar
adopted
december
10
2021
and
which
was
posted
to
the
city's
website.
B
Members,
there
are
a
few
items
that
were
submitted
too
late
to
be
included
in
the
published
agenda.
Those
items
have
been
circulated
to
the
council
members
last
week.
A
draft
resolution
has
been
shared
this
morning.
Accordingly,
I
am
asking
for
a
motion
to
adopt
the
agenda,
which
would
include,
as
part
of
an
addendum
a
draft
resolution
related
to
the
existing
local
public
health
emergency,
as
well
as
three
regulations
promulgated
last
week
by
mayor
frye
related
to
that
emergency.
B
Also,
an
item
from
the
mayor
nominating
a
new
public
works
director
to
be
referred
to
committee.
Those
items
would
be
added
at
the
conclusion
of
planned
business
on
the
agenda
as
agenda
items
under
new
business
numbered
six
and
seven
to
be
addressed.
After
all,
other
items
on
the
agenda
have
been
disposed.
B
F
G
B
That
motion
passes
the
eyes,
have
it.
The
agenda
is
adopted
and
now
council
members.
The
first
item
of
business
is
the
election
of
members
for
this
body's
officers
as
set
forth
in
council
rule
2,
section
1a.
The
officers
of
council
include
president
vice
president
and
clerk.
We
will
begin
with
the
election
of
president
in
terms
of
procedure.
I
intend
to
administer
the
election
for
both
president
and
vice
president.
We
will
follow
the
same
procedure
for
both
offices.
That
procedure
will
be
as
follows.
B
First,
I
will
open
the
floor
to
nominations.
After
all,
nominations
have
been
made.
The
nominating
period
will
be
closed
once
the
nomination
period
is
closed.
No
further
nominations
will
be
accepted.
Second,
after
the
nominations
period
is
closed.
We
will
proceed
to
take
the
vote
by
roll
call.
There
will
be
a
separate
vote
on
each
nominee.
We
will
consider
an
act
on
each
nominee
in
the
order
it
was
received.
Voting
will
be
done
by
roll
call,
and
the
clerk
will
call
the
role
in
numerical
order
by
wards.
B
B
E
B
A
B
E
B
I
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
honored,
to
support
the
nomination
of
council
member
jenkins
as
our
next
council
president.
Her
thoughtful
guidance,
creativity
and
years
of
trailblazing
are
going
to
inform
how
our
government
functions
going
forward
under
this
new
structure
and
I'm
hopeful,
we
can
advance
a
unified,
progressive
agenda
for
minneapolis
together.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
want
to
quickly
express
my
excitement
about
this
nomination.
I've
had
an
opportunity
on
the
last
term
on
the
last
council,
as
majority
leader,
to
work
very
closely
with
then
vice
president
jenkins
and
she's
just
a
pleasure
to
work
with,
and
I
really
appreciate
her
leadership,
and
I
know
that
she
will
do
fantastic
in
the
role.
D
Thank
you,
mr
clark.
I
too
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
am
so
excited
about
supporting
council
member
jenkins.
Today
we
have
over
a
12-year
relationship.
We've
done
some
amazing
work
in
public
health
and
also
on
the
park
during
my
term
on
the
park
board
and
her
serving
as
a
council
member.
I'm
super
excited
to
support
her
today
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
council
member
jenkins
in
the
future,
as
the
president
of
the
minneapolis
city
council.
Thank.
B
K
L
K
L
M
Yes,
I
do
want
to
congratulate
andrea
jenkins.
It's
been
honored
working
with
you
with
short
time,
and
I
look
forward
on
your
experience,
your
leadership
and
really
excited
to
be
that
you,
you
will
be
the
council
president
in
the
next
coming
years
and
also
I'm
all
excited
for
everyone,
everyone
new,
that's
joining
us
on
the
console.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
council
member
jenkins
on
being
nominated
to
this
office.
I
know
we're
in
a
really
exciting
moment,
as
a
city
right
now
and
working
on
the
issues
that
are
most
impacting
minneapolis
residents,
starting
with
the
issue
of
rent
control.
I
know
that's
something
that
she's
really
excited
to
work
on
and
partner
with
with
minneapolis
residents
and
minneapolis
leaders,
and
in
making
that
happen,
and
of
course
it
would
be
lasting
me
to
not.
H
H
A
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
I'm
just
honored
to
support
council
vice
president
andrea
jenkins,
I
think
we're
in
a
moment
where
we
elected
the
majority
people
of
color
in
the
history
of
the
minneapolis
city
council
and
I'm
excited
to
lead
besides
that
leadership
and
excited
to
show
my
support
for
councilmember
jenkins.
E
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
clark.
I'm
also
excited
to
support
council
vice
president
of
andrea
jenkins,
for
the
presidential
seats
of
our
council.
I'm
really
more
so
excited
to
collaborate
with
you,
as
well
as
all
of
our
council
members
on
some
key
issues.
That's
facing
our
city,
like
a
strong
three
percent,
rent
control
policy,
making
sure
we're
prioritizing
public
safety
measures.
E
As
mayor
frye
highlighted
today
that
are
not
just
you
know,
police
focused
and,
and
we're
going
beyond
that,
and
also
on
a
number
of
issues
that
I
know
in
packs,
black
and
brown
and
immigrant
constituents
that
we
all
care
about
in
this
city
so
excited
to
dig
into
some
very
inspiring,
empowering
and-
and
we
know
at
times,
messi
worked.
So
thank
you.
B
F
C
F
F
F
N
F
B
K
Thank
you,
mr
clerk
man.
It's
so
difficult
to
participate
from
from
my
phone,
but
I
am
happy
to
nominate
council
member
elliott
payne
to
the
office
of
vice
president.
I
think
councilmember
payne
is
a
tremendous
leader,
a
fighter
for
social
justice,
and
I
believe
he
would
serve
well
as
a
vice
president.
E
Yes,
thank
you,
oh
my
camera
there.
Thank
you,
mr
clark.
I
also
would
like
to
second
councilmember
ellison's
motion
to
nominate
elliott
hayne.
I'm
super
excited
about
this.
I've
worked
with
elliott
already.
You
know
during
our
time
since
being
elected
on
creating
collaborative
ways
to
advance
strong
rent
control
efforts
for
this
council.
I
know
he
brings
a
ray
of
just
expertise
when
it
comes
to
public
safety.
E
Alternative
solutions,
haven't,
you
know,
played
an
instrumental
role
in
creating
the
mental
health
responders
team,
which
has
been
so
widely
received
across
our
city
in
a
time
where
we're
looking
for
robust
and
innovative
solutions
to
our
public
safety
crisis,
so
I'm
so
excited
to
support
elliott
and
knowing
that
he's
gonna
drive
leadership,
that's
gonna
address
with
all
of
us
and
unite
all
of
us
around
some
key
issues.
That's
impacting
our
city,
such
as
housing
and
and
public
safety.
So
I'm
I'm
looking
forward
to
supporting
him
as
our
next
council.
B
O
B
B
Seeing
no
one
in
queue
and
not
hearing
anyone
rising
to
the
occasion,
I
will
close
the
nominating
period
for
the
office
of
vice
president.
Before
we
proceed
to
a
vote,
I
will
open
the
floor
to
general
discussion.
Are
there
any
comments
from
members
on
the
nominations?
We
will
begin
with
the
nomination
for
council
member
payne
representing
ward
one
council,
member
wansley
warlow.
E
E
We
also
have
the
opportunity,
as
you
know,
the
council
that
has
the
the
largest
poc
majority
to
really
have
leadership
in
in
this
moment
that
reflects
the
diversity
of
our
city
and
reflects
the
commitment
to
the
issues
that's
facing
our
most
diverse
communities
and
working
class
people
I
mean,
I
know,
that's
been
elliot.
Elliott
is
committed
to
making
sure
that
all
of
our
residents
are
guaranteeing
housing.
E
It
has
made
the
bull
move
to
stand
for
a
three
percent
rent
control
policy
he's
been
deeply
invested
in
looking
at
how
we
can
create
more
just
solutions
when
it
comes
towards
public
safety
as
his
work
as
a
staffer,
so
even
creating
this
president
before
he
even
stepped
foot
into
office,
and
that
is
the
type
of
leadership
that
we
need
in
such
a
monumental
moment.
Right
now.
On
that
diverse,
innovative,
thoughtful
and
and
people-led
commitment
to
solutions,
that's
really
going
to
address
our
city's
long-standing
inequities.
H
H
Vice
president
elect
council
member
payne
as
our
next
vice
president.
You
know
I
I
represent
ward
10,
which
is
a
80
winter
community.
We
are
made
up
of
workers,
we're
made
up
of
renters.
We
are
made
up
of
people
who
depend
on
transit
to
get
from
place
to
place,
and
I
think
it
really
matters
to
have
someone
who
has
shown
a
commitment
to
those
issues
and
prioritizing
those
issues
in
in
leadership,
and
then
you
know
I'm
just
I'm.
H
K
Elliott
is
somebody
who
is
representing
ward,
one,
which
is
on
the
north
side
of
the
city,
and
I
think
that
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
potential
for
the
north
side
of
the
city
to
become
a
little
bit
more
united
under
eliot's
leadership.
I
think
often
people
kind
of
think
of
you
know.
You've
got
the
south
side,
you've
got
the
north
side
and
then
there's
north
east
right,
distinct
from
north
minneapolis.
K
Obviously,
we
share
a
lot
of
policy
similarities
and
I'm
super
excited
to
work
on
issues
of
economic
justice,
issues
of
rental
protections
and
rent
control
to
close
the
home
ownership
gap
that
we
have
between
black
homeowners
and
immigrant
homeowners
and
and
white
homeowners
in
our
city,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
support
to
support
elliot's
nomination,
and
you
know
last
term
I
was,
I
was
somehow
frequently
mistaken
for
councilmember
cunningham.
We
had
to.
K
We
had
to
deal
with
that,
and
so
the
only
thing
that
maybe
I
would
lament
about
council
councilmember
payne's
term
is
that
is
that
I
think
that
we're
we're
we're
in
for
being
mistaken
for
one
another,
quite
a
bit
other
than
that.
I'm
very
excited
to
support,
elliot
payne,
and
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
join
me
in.
A
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
got
elected
by
the
people
of
the
ninth
ward,
so
I
could
always
bring
their
voices
to
the
house
of
power
because
for
too
long
our
voices
have
not
been
heard.
They've
been
diminished
and
left
behind,
and
I
have
an
obligation
to
my
constituents
to
deliver
on
the
priorities
that
no
longer
make
us
invisible.
A
Councilmember
payne
reached
out
to
me
about
the
priorities
of
the
ninth
ward
and
how
he
would
lead
this
council
in
this
critical
time
in
our
city,
which
means
addressing
and
making
sure
that
we
have
gun
violence,
prevention,
censoring
racial
justice,
immigration,
justice
and
rebuilding
our
cultural
district.
Especially
here
in
the
ninth
ward.
He
committed
to
me
that
he
will
prioritize
and
censor
the
most
diverse
ward
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
making
sure
that
the
ninth
ward
is
no
longer
being
left
behind
in
our
city
government.
A
To
me,
it
matters
who
we
elect
in
leadership
when
we
have
a
historical
moment
where
we
elected
the
most
people
of
color
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
for
the
city
council
in
history,
and
it
matters
to
me
that
the
people
that
represent
me
look
like
me
and
now.
The
people
that
I
represent
can
see
themselves
in
the
city
council
and
in
our
leadership,
I'm
proud
to
support
councilmember
payne
for
vice
president.
B
D
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
I
am
excited
to
vote
for
council
member
palmisano
as
vice
president.
Again
I
have
a
long
history.
Eight
or
nine
years
now,
I've
known
councilmember
pamasano
met
her
as
a
person
who
was
working
on
public
health
policy
down
at
city
hall.
I
I
just
have
great
memories
of
councilmember
palmisano,
making
the
days
that
our
youth
from
north
minneapolis
were
at
city
hall,
just
extremely
magical,
taking
time
out
of
her
day
to
show
them
around
to
speak,
to
them
directly
to
hear
their
voices.
D
I
appreciated
that
so
much
because
so
many
of
those
young
people
had
never
had
any
of
those
experiences
and
a
little
more
history.
I
you
know
I
recently
served
on
the
park
board
and
council
member
palmisano
and
I
got
to
know
each
other
a
lot
better.
When
we
worked
on
the
biennial
budget
from
the
park
board
level,
she
didn't
really
have
to
engage
me
as
the
chair
of
administration
and
finance
on
the
park
board.
D
She
could
have
went
ahead
and
done
it
on
her
own
at
the
city,
but
instead
she
decided
that
she
would
engage
the
park
board
and
what
an
amazing
engagement
it
was.
She
taught
me
so
much
about
the
city
budget.
I
knew
about
the
park
board
budget.
She
was
so
patient
with
me
and
took
so
much
time
with
me
and
connected
me
to
at
the
city
so
that
I
could
learn
more.
She
was
super
passionate
about
that
budget.
D
I
can't
recall
another
person
who
talked
about
a
budget
so
passionately
who
was
so
engaged
who
went
line
by
line
with
me.
No
matter
what
time
of
day
I
had
a
question,
she
answered
the
questions
for
me
and
then
after
I
won
the
election
council.
Member
palmisano
was
the
first
person
to
come
to
me
and
say
hey.
What
are
you
interested
in?
What
is
the
people
in
ward
4
want?
What
are
you
hearing
at
the
doors?
What
do
people
want
to
know
about
city
hall?
How
can
I
help
you?
D
How
can
I
support
you
in
this
work?
That
is
exactly
when
you
need
what
you
need
when
you're
newly
elected
I'm
supporting
council
councilmember
palmisano,
because
not
only
does
she
represent
her
ward
she's
open
to
the
idea
of
listening
and
learning
from
others
in
my
ward
as
well,
and
I've
physically
seen
her
in
my
ward,
working
and
talking
to
people,
and
that
means
a
great
deal
to
me
as
the
new
elected
council
member.
So
again
I'm
supporting
councilmember
palmisano,
because
I've
seen
her
build
those
bridges.
B
J
J
Me
one
of
the
really
key
critical
components
of
these
roles
is
somebody
that
has
deep
experience
up
on
the
third
floor.
That
has
that
knowledge,
not
just
from
working
at
city
hall,
but
working
within
council
offices
to
be
able
to
handle
really
the
byzantine
business
that
comes
through
leadership,
and
I
know
that
firsthand
having
served
as
the
majority
leader
and
now
what
seems
kind
of
remarkable,
that
being
one
of
the
senior
most
council
members
on
the
council.
J
J
I
think,
if
we
look
at
now,
council
president
jenkins,
she
served
for
a
very
significant
amount
of
time,
many
years
in
the
council
offices
and
not
just
serving
in
the
council
offices,
but
for
council
leadership
as
well,
and
I
believe,
was
prepared
for
the
role
of
vice
president
last
term.
I'm
not
going
to
sugarcoat
it.
J
You
know
if,
if
you
are
looking
at
this
body
and
first
off,
let's
put
in
context,
this
is
one
of
the
left
most
bodies
in
the
entire
nation
in
terms
of
the
municipal
government
and
99
of
the
issues
or
actions
this
council
takes.
We
do
so
unanimously,
so
there's
only
a
handful
of
times
where
we
tend
to
have
divided
goats
on
this
council
and
usually
they're
over
controversial
or
really
big
issues.
And
you
know
on
most
of
those
I
have
probably
voted
the
other
way
than
council
member
paul
masano.
J
J
That
is
really
important
work.
She
works
very
hard
in
that
and
I
think
that,
because
of
that,
and
really
considering
all
the
factors
that
she
will
do
a
good
job
as
vice
president
and
that's
why
I
support
her
in
this
role
and
appreciate
her
willing
to
step
up
in
this
moment,
and
then
you
know,
as
we
have
had
individual
conversations
with
those
interested
in
serving
in
this
role.
J
I
really
want
to
say
I
appreciate
her
support
on
or
appreciate
her
focus
on
supporting
the
city
council
and
I
know
that's
not
always
easy.
When
we
talk
about
those
issues,
we
disagree
on,
and
I
have
seen
her
work
in
a
professional
manner
as
budget
chair,
for
instance,
working
to
keep
that
neutrality
to
make
sure
that
the
processes
and
the
procedures
are
fair
for
all
council
members,
even
at
times
where
she
significantly
disagrees
with
the
direction
or
an
outcome.
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
do
really
appreciate
my
colleague
elliot
payne.
J
I'm
excited
about
the
issues
that
he
is
excited
about
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
with
him
on
those
everything
from
racial
justice.
Transformational,
change
in
public
safety,
climate
change,
affordable
housing,
helping
those
that
are
homeless
and
all
the
other
issues
that
are
before
us
in
this
really
critical
moment
and
is
through
our
committees
through
the
work
at
committees
that
we
are
able.
N
I
I
I
We
have
a
lot
of
unresolved
trauma,
a
lot
of
unresolved
unresolved
tensions
in
our
city,
and
I
just
been
really
excited
about
no
matter
how
the
vote
works
out
that
we've
engaged
in
this
deeply
that
we
leaned
into
these
challenges,
and
we
all
rose
to
this
moment
to
really
lead
for
our
city,
and
I
just
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
before
this
body
for
such
a
such
a
monumental
vote.
I
really
appreciate
it.
P
P
P
I
think
making
sure
that
we
are
following
all
of
the
the
council
rules,
the
state
rules,
and
I
I
know
that
you
guys
know
that
we
also
sort
of
uphold
the
constitution
of
the
united
states.
And
so
I
want
us
to
be
assured
that
those
responsibilities
are
well
covered.
While
we
work
on
the
the
policy
issues
that
everyone
has
expressed
deep
interest,
concern
and
and
willingness
to
get
done.
B
Thank
you
council
president.
Are
there
any
further
comments
from
council
members
not
seeing
anyone
in
queue
not
hearing
anyone
jump
in?
Therefore,
council
members,
we
will
move
to
a
vote.
As
noted
earlier
in
the
election
procedure.
The
first
vote
will
be
taken
on
the
nomination
of
council
member
elliot
payne,
representative
of
ward
1,
to
the
office
of
vice
president.
The
motion
will
be
to
approve
and
elect
council
member
elliot
payne
councilmember
from
ward
1
to
the
office
of
vice
president
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
councilmember.
P
B
That
motion
fails.
The
next
motion
is
on
the
nomination
of
lennae
palmisano
councilmember,
representing
the
13th
ward,
to
the
office
of
vice
president.
So
we
will
take
a
vote
on
that
motion,
which
is
the
motion
to
elect
council
member
palmisano
from
the
13th
ward
to
the
office
of
vice
president
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
L
F
C
F
B
P
P
P
P
P
In
fact,
there
is
a
majority
of
women
on
this
council,
though
it
is
not
the
first
time
there
have
been
many
or
multiple
majority
women
councils
throughout
our
recent
history,
but
collectively
we
represent
almost
all
of
the
most
populous
ethnicities
in
our
community
sans
our
native
american
community,
and
that
my
friends
puts
the
onus
on
us
to
ensure
that
that
voice.
That
perspective
is
authentically
in
the
room
we
have
christian
muslim,
jewish
faiths
represented.
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
Q
My
interest
here
is
to
help
provide
that
glue
and
our
decorum
of
respect
and
working
together,
even
when
we
are
in
disagreement,
will
lead
us
to
great
places.
Our
chosen
president,
andrea
jenkins,
will
be
that
guide.
Madam
president,
I
look
so
forward
to
working
with
you
together
this
term
and
in
in
this
new
way.
Thank
you
for
all
of
these
words.
You
just
spoke.
Q
Q
I
think
that
the
officer's
vote
today
represents
our
community.
Our
community
is
divided,
and
the
election
last
november,
as
the
president
mentioned
earlier,
clearly
showed
that
we
are
13
different
wards
and
even
more
different
perspectives,
but
we're
one
city
and
we
will
treat
each
other
with
respect
and
learn
to
govern
together
in
our
one
city.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
P
P
The
clerk's
office
has
prepared
a
packet
that
includes
the
various
resolutions
and
motions
that
are
associated
with
each
agenda
item
which
you
should
have.
There
are
a
total
of
five
items
under
new
business
which
are
numbered
in
your
packets,
as
nb
1
through
nb5.
Then
there
are
three
ordinances
ordinance
introductions
listed
as
irc
one
through
three.
I
will
take
a
moment
to
recognize
council
member
goodman
and
then
subsequently
councilmember
payne.
O
P
I
B
Clark,
please
I'm
sorry,
madam
president,
as
you
well
know,
the
next
item
of
business
is
actually
item
number
two
under
election.
This
is
a
process
of
appointing
a
city
clerk.
Then
it
will
move
forward
to
new
business
item
number
one,
which
is.
The
first
item,
is
related
to
the
standing
subcommittees
or
companies
and
standing
committees,
and
to
that
question
I
think
we
should
defer
until
that
question
is
before
the
body
right
now
before
the
body
is
the
appointment
of
city
clerk.
G
Q
P
P
The
clerk
is,
the
secretary
of
the
municipal
corporation
is
responsible
for
administering
elections
and
managing
corporate
information
assets
and
also
serves
as
the
body's
clerk
and
parliamentarian,
and
you
know
I
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
again
on
this
council
the
extraordinary
efforts
that
mr
carl,
as
the
clerk
and
the
clerk's
team
in
managing
our
elections
process,
managing
all
the
data
and
information
of
the
fast-moving
actions
of
our
councils.
That
sometimes
don't
always
coincide
with
the
the
wishes
and
desires
of
the
clerk.
P
J
Madam
president,
and
here
here
on
your
words
for
the
clerk
and
the
clerk's
team,
I
mean
they
keep
the
trains
running
truly
at
city
hall
and
literally
facilitate
democracy
and
our
transparency
for
the
public
and
make
this
job
possible.
And
I
know
they
work
long
hours,
many
weekends
and
it
is
a
fantastic
department
in
no
small
part
because
of
the
leader
at
the
top
of
that
department.
Casey
carl,
who
is
just
a
pleasure
to
work
with
and
offers
fantastic
advice
and
makes
the
whole
show
happen.
The
whole
thing
happened
in
case.
L
R
R
P
Thank
you
councilmember,
ellison
and
yeah.
We
have
a
pretty
big
election
cycle
coming
up
this
year,
so
glad
to
know
that
we
have
an
amazing
team
to
to
help
guide
us
through
and
as
councilmember
johnson
known,
it
continuously
upholding
democracy
in
our
community,
I'm
so
member
payne
and
then
councilmember
vital.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
as
somebody
who's
worked
at
the
staff
level
in
city
hall,
I
know
all
too
well
how
complex
this
organization
can
be,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that,
as
now
an
elected
official,
it
is
so
clear
how
much
hard
work
goes
into
making
this
city
function
and
be
as
transparent
as
possible,
and
I
celebrate
casey
carl
and
all
of
his
efforts
and
even
in
getting
prepared
for
this
meeting.
I
D
Thank
you,
president
jenkins.
I
am
so
excited
to
support
the
nomination
of
mr
casey
carl.
This
experience
has
been
great
because
we're
being
prepared
for
it,
I
had
not
factored
in
that
we
would
have
a
month
of
orientation
and
I
am
so
grateful
for
it.
I
am
so
excited
about
the
days
to
come,
because
I
feel
prepared,
I
feel,
like
I
have
a
team
of
people
there
to
support
me
to
guide
me
to
mentor
and
help.
So
thank
you
to
mr
carl
and
the
clerk's
office.
D
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
also
excited
to
support
casey
for
clerk.
Again,
I
think
I'm
the
only
one
here
who
has
the
distinct
privilege
of
being
elected
three
times
to
my
position
of
city
council-
and
I
am
so
just
at
all
at
how
casey
was
able
to
pull
together
the
elections
team
to
create
such
a
fair
and
democratic
and
just
smooth
process,
and
that's
just
been
extended
throughout
all
of
our
council.
E
P
L
C
F
P
P
That
motion
carries,
and
mr
carl
has
been
appointed
city
clerk.
Congratulations
to
you,
mr
carl.
It
truly
is
a
pleasure
serving
and
working
alongside
of
you
and
look
forward
to
to
to
great
things
to
come.
Colleagues.
The
first
item
of
new
business
is
a
resolution
establishing
our
operating
structure
for
the
coming
term.
This
is
item
nb1
in
your
packets
under
council
rules.
The
president
appoints
council
committees,
subject
to
the
vote
of
the
body.
P
For
the
record,
I
will
state
that
the
standing
committees
I
have
pro
proposing
includes
the
following:
so
a
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
or
biz
led
by
council
member
goodman
as
the
chair
with
council
member
osman,
as
vice
chair,
the
members
of
this
committee
would
include
councilmember,
rainbill,
ellison
chavez
and
chuck
thai.
This
committee
will
provide
oversight
for
business,
licensing
permitting
and
regulatory
functions,
housing
and
housing
policy,
land
use
and
zoning
policy
and
related
administrative
and
quasi-judicial
functions
and
community
and
economic
development
matters.
P
A
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
led
by
council
member
johnson
as
its
chair
with
council
member
koski,
as
the
vice
chair
members,
will
include
council,
member
payne,
wansley,
warlobah
veto
and
chuck
thai.
This
committee
provides
oversight
for
all
aspects
of
our
communities,
infrastructure
grid
to
the
broadest
sense,
including
public
works,
the
built
environment
and
those
functions
and
services
upon
which
the
city
builds
develops
and
operates,
etc,
as
well
as
broadband
capacity
and
information
technology
as
a
part
of
that
grid.
P
We
also
have
a
standing
policy
and
government
oversight
committee,
which
will
be
led
by
council
member
ellison
as
its
chair
with
council
member
weinsley
warlabah.
As
the
vice
chair
members
will
include
council
members,
vital
chavez,
koski
and
johnson.
This
committee
provides
oversight
for
all
aspects
of
general
government
operations,
not
otherwise
assigned
to
a
separate
standing
committee,
which
is
largely
focused
on
enterprise
management
functions
and
includes
elections.
P
Finally,
the
committee
of
the
whole,
which,
as
stated
in
our
rules,
is
chaired
by
the
vice
president
council
member
palmisano
council
member
chavez
will
be
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee.
All
committee
members
are
part
of
the
committee
of
the
home.
This
body
primarily
acts
as
a
board
of
review
for
all
reports
and
recommendations
by
the
standing
and
special
committees
prior
to
any
formal
action
by
the
full
council.
P
The
committee
of
the
whole
will
also
have
two
important
subcommittees
as
a
part
of
this
structure,
which
includes
the
race
and
equity
subcommittee
that
I
will
chair
and
the
government
structure
subcommittee
that
vice
president
palmisano
will
chair.
Both
subcommittees
will
meet
at
the
call
of
the
respective
chairs
to
address
business
as
necessary.
P
For
my
newer
colleagues,
I
would
like
to
just
explain
that
the
purpose
of
standing
committees
is
to
review
to
refine
and
recommend
actions
for
consideration
and
action
by
the
full
council.
I
believe
that,
focusing
on
smaller
number
of
standing
committees,
we
can
add
in
the
flexibility,
in
our
schedules,
for
other
forums,
to
allow
council
to
address
new
and
emerging
and
future
focused
items,
and
so
that
we
can
incorporate
more
time
to
work
in
our
wards
and
to
interact
with
our
constituents.
P
P
That
are
more
significant
long-range
and
important
policy
issues
before
us.
Those
include
rent,
stabilization
and
public
safety
reform,
and
so
these
working
groups
would
include
council
members,
the
mayor
members
of
the
public
key
representatives
from
operating
departments
in
the
city's
administration,
so
that
we
can
come
together,
collaborate
on
developing
policy
proposals
and
and
then
introduce
that
work
through
our
standing
committee
systems.
P
L
P
E
P
G
P
H
H
P
P
H
Just
can
I,
if
it's
okay,
I'm
happy
to
get
go
back
into
if
that's
okay,
I
I
might
just
follow
quick
follow-up
on
that,
is
I
I
know
in
the
next
two
week
cycle.
We
will
figure
out
what
the
logistics
look
like.
Will
we
will
that
happen
through
committee?
Will
that
happen?
But
will
you
be
doing
that
in
consultation
with
us
and
with
a
lot
of
partners,
I'm
sure,
but
who
is
moving
this
in
the
next
two
week
period?
Will
we
you
know
like?
P
J
You,
madam
president,
and
I
want
to
pick
you
back
up
those
comments
and
just
say
I
appreciate
this
being
brought
up
in
this
meeting
and
the
questions
that
were
asked
around
this,
and
I
appreciate
the
urgency
around
this
issue
and
in
diving
in
and
developing
out
the
details
and
my
personal
hope
that
we
have
something
that
can
be
on
the
ballot.
This
fall.
D
F
A
G
F
F
P
So
that
item
carries
and
the
resolution
establishing
standing
and
special
committees
for
the
council
for
the
coming
term
has
been
adopted
before
we
proceed.
I
would
just
want
to
confirm
that
the
consensus
of
this
body
is
for,
for
me
is
in
consultation
with
yourselves
and
other
staff
to
develop
a
more
formal
outline
for
the
proposed
working
groups
and
then
submit
that
to
your
consideration
for
in
the
next
cycle.
P
J
N
P
And
thank
you,
colleagues.
So
the
next
item
is
approval
of
the
calendar
for
our
regular
meetings
of
the
city
council
and
our
committees
for
the
2022-23
term.
This
is
noted
as
item
nb2
in
your
packets.
This
reflects
the
operating
structure
that
we
just
approved
in
the
prior
action.
May
I
have
a
motion
to
adopt
the
calendar.

Colleagues.
The
next
item
is
the
resolution,
which
establishes
a
plan
of
succession
for
the
offices
of
mayor
and
council
president,
as
required
under
the
city
charter
council
rules
and
the
relevant
provisions
of
our
municipal
code.
This
is
listed
as
item
in
b4
in
your
packets
may
have
a
motion
to
adopt
that
resolution.
F
D
F
F
F
P
P
The
next
item
is
the
appointment
of
council
members
to
the
audit
committee.
This
is
listed
as
nb5
in
your
packets
and
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
provide
a
brief
explanation
about
this
proposal,
since
it
involves
a
temporary
matter
pending
further
action
on
the
voter
approved
government
structure
amendment
to
the
city
charter.
Mr
clerk,
would
you
please
provide
that
explanation.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
As
this
body
is
aware,
and
the
council
president
just
noted,
voters
did
approve
a
change
in
the
government
structure
by
charter
amendment
in
november
transitioning
to
an
executive
mayor
and
legislative
council
form
of
government.
As
part
of
that
amendment,
the
council
is
required
to
establish
and
appoint
an
independent
audit
committee.
The
composition
of
that
audit
committee
is
dictated
under
the
charter
amendment
prior
to
that
charter
amendment.
However,
the
council
had
previously
established
an
independent
audit
committee
by
ordinance,
which
is
codified
under
section
17.90
of
the
municipal
code.
B
There
are
some
conflicts
between
the
new
charter
provisions
and
the
existing
code.
Therefore,
this
body
will
need
to
amend
the
code
provisions
to
bring
us
into
compliance
with
the
new
charter
mandate
with
respect
to
that
audit
committee,
while
that
work
on
a
new
ordinance
proceeds,
the
existing
audit
committee
continues
in
force
to
provide
continuity
in
the
city's
audit
function
and
its
oversight
of
the
internal
auditor.
So
this
is
a
necessary
temporary
action
to
ensure
continuity
of
government
operations
under
the
existing
code
provisions.
B
The
council
president
appoints
two
members
to
the
audit
committee
and
designates
the
committee's
chair.
The
third
council
member
serves
ex-officio
as
the
chair
of
the
council's
ways
and
means
committee
which,
under
the
new
approved
structure,
would
be
the
budget
committee.
The
body
assigned
responsibility
for
budgetary
and
financial
management
functions.
The
president
has
indicated
she
plans
to
appoint
council
members
paul
masano
and
payne
as
the
two
members
of
the
body
to
the
audit
committee
and
designated
council
member
palmisano.
As
chair
of
the
audit
committee.
B
As
budget
committee
chair,
councilmember,
koski
serves
automatically
in
the
third
council
seat
on
the
committee.
I
estimate
that
staff
will
be
prepared
to
bring
forward
a
draft
ordinance
within
the
first
quarter
of
this
year
for
consideration
and
final
action
of
the
council.
That
ordinance
would
then
provide
for
the
alignment
between
the
new
charter
provisions
and
the
existing
code
in
order
to
reconstitute
the
audit
committee,
as
well
as
the
internal
structure,
operation
and
functions
of
the
new
office
of
city
auditor
that
it
completes
my
explanation.
Madam
president,.
P
C9,
I
I'm
presenting
my
appointments
to
the
audit
committee
as
reflected
in
items
in
b5
your
pockets.
This
is
not
an
action
of
the
full
body,
but
appointments
made
by
the
council
president
so
I'll.
Congratulate
those
members
who
have
been
appointed
to
the
audit
committee
encourage
the
audit
committee
to
move
quickly
on
recommendations
on
how
to
restructure
that
independent
body
to
align
with
the
new
government
structure
that
has
been
approved
by
the
voters
and
that
completes
our
action
on
items
listed
under
new
business
on
the
agenda.
P
P
These
accidents
are
included
in
every
organizational
meeting
as
a
means
of
expediting
the
noticing
and
referral
of
these
routine
matters
coming
during
the
coming
term.
This
action
essentially
opens
these
chapters
to
routine
reoccurring
actions.
I
would
like
to
take
one
vote
on
all
three
of
these
introductions.
P
P
A
Q
F
F
P
Thank
you
and
that
item
carries
colleagues
that
completes
the
organizational
business
for
our
meeting.
We
do
have
addendum
items
that
were
added
as
amendments
to
the
agenda
noted
by
the
clerk.
These
items
are
submitted
by
the
mayor
and
pertain
to
his
nomination
of
a
new
public
works
director
and
to
some
emergency
regulations
tied
to
the
city's
existing
public
health
emergency
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
present
each
of
these
items
for
us
and
to
provide
the
context
of
the
action
that
is
requested
of
the
council.
Mr
clerk.
B
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
As
you
said,
mayor
frye
has
taken
several
actions
with
respect
to
the
ongoing
local
public
health
emergency,
which
was
first
declared
in
march
of
2020.
This
past
week,
the
mayor
issued
three
new
emergency
regulations
and
also
requested
that
the
council
take
action
to
extend
the
date
of
the
existing
emergency,
which
is
set
to
expire
february
13th
under
applicable
state
and
local
laws
and
policies.
The
mayor
may
proclaim
regulations
under
a
declared
emergency
which
are
in
force
for
a
period
of
not
to
exceed
30
days.
B
The
council,
however,
may
extend
and
continue
those
emergency
regulations
by
formal
action.
Thus,
it
has
been
our
continuing
practice
throughout
this
emergency
period
to
bring
forward
all
of
the
mayor's
emergency
regulations
that
are
proclaimed
and
to
have
those
ratified
and
extended
by
formal
action
of
the
city
council,
so
that
each
of
those
emergency
regulations
continue
to
apply
throughout
the
duration
of
the
declared
emergency
period.
Staff
have
therefore
prepared
a
draft
resolution
for
council
that
would
achieve
this
objective.
B
That
resolution
numbered
2022
r-004,
which
was
circulated
earlier
this
morning,
is
proposed
to
extend
the
period
of
the
city's
local
public
health
emergency.
It
also
ratifies
and
extends
the
three
emergency
regulations
that
were
issued
just
last
week
by
mayor
frye.
For
the
record,
I
will
summarize
those
three
regulations.
Regulation
number
one
re-establi
establishes
a
mandate
for
masks
or
facial
coverings
to
be
worn
in
all
indoor
public
locations.
This
regulation
became
effective
january.
6Th
regulation
number
two
enables
local
businesses
within
set
parameters
to
temporarily
expand
their
premises
for
operations.
B
This
regulation
became
effective
january
7th
and
is
to
continue
for
a
period
of
not
to
exceed
45
days
after
the
declared
emergency
period
does
expire
and
finally,
regulation
number
three,
which
updates
the
city's
existing
vaccination
and
testing
policy
and
which
became
effective
on
january
7th.
Madam
president,
that
completes
my
summary
of
those
items
tied
to
the
city's
existing
local
public
health,
emergency
and
emergency
regulations.
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
questions,
otherwise
it
would
be
in
order
at
this
time
for
the
council
to
take
action
on
the
draft
resolution
prepared
by
staff.
I
P
This
is
actually
taking
the
mayor's
nomination
and
forwarding
it
to
the
appropriate
committee
for
a
public
hearing,
and
that
committee
would
be
the
public
works
committee
chaired
by
councilman
johnson
and
which
you
are
a
member
of.
So
yes,
we
will
have
a
public
hearing
and
a
very
public
process
on
the
nomination
of
number
two,
but
we
are
talking
about
the
emergency
declaration
at
this
particular
moment.
Are
there
any
questions
about
the
mayor's
emergency
declarations
at
all.
P
B
F
P
F
F
F
I
F
F
P
F
F
F
F
P
And
that
item
carries
and
will
be
forwarded
to
the
appropriate
committee
for
the
setting
of
a
public
hearing
to
address
that
appointment
and
the
final
item
on
our
agenda
is
announcements
and
before
I
just
you
know
end
with
my
concluding
comments.
Are
there
any
general
announcements
from
our
council
members
and
just
for
clarity?
P
Announcements
can
be
events
that
are
occurring
in
your
community
in
your
ward
in
the
city
generally
other
items
of
import
that
you
think
are
important
for
the
residents
of
minneapolis
to
be
aware
of,
for
example,
this
coming
monday.
We
don't
have
any
more
public
meetings,
but
will
be
the
birth
date
of
one
of
the
most
influential
americans.
E
Thank
you
for
that.
Madam
president,
I
just
would
like
to
say
you
know,
in
light
of
this
meeting,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
collaborating
with
everyone
on
a
number
of
issues.
That's
facing
our
city.
I
think
one
of
the
key
and
most
immediate
ones
is
actually
tomorrow
and
council
member
ellison's
award.
E
There's
going
to
be
a
eviction
happening
there
amongst
our
unsheltered
residents.
I
would
love
if
many
of
my
council
members
could
join.
You
know
that
eviction
process
and
actually
encouraging
you
know
the
mayor's
office
and
all
city
leaders
to
delay
until
we
actually
have
a
permanent
plan
of
housing
for
every
single
one
of
those
residents
of
that
encampment,
and
that
includes
for
the
other
two
enchantments,
that's
going
to
be
evicted
over
the
coming
weeks.
E
This
is
the
opportunity,
as
we
all
talked
about
in
over
the
past
weeks,
of
engaging
the
public
and
really
learning
what
our
constituents
key
issues
are,
and
I
think
one
of
the
best
ways
is
to
meet
them
where
there
are
so
that
eviction
is
set
to
go
at
six
in
the
morning
at
the
near
north
encampment,
I'm
more
than
willing
to
share
additional
information
via
email
with
every
single
one
of
you
and
would
really
love
to.
You
know
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
residents
there.
E
P
Cnn
that
completes
all
the
items
on
our
agenda
for
our
organizational
meeting
before
we
adjourn,
I
do
want
to
just
repeat
my
deepest
most
sincerest
and
humblest
appreciation
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
what
is
truly
an
honor
you
you,
you
fulfilled
my
first
grade
teacher's
fantasy
of
me
becoming
president,
and
I
know
that
my
mother
is
is
very,
very
proud
as
well.
So
so
thank
you
all.
P
I
just
want
to
reiterate
how
excited
I
am
to
get
started
with
you
on
the
work
that
we
will
no
doubt
accomplish
together.
We
have
so
much
to
do
and
I'm
confident
that
working
together,
we
will
achieve
great
things,
so
let
collaboration
cooperation
community
be
our
constant
guides
and
this
work
together
in
our
partnership
with
the
mayor
and
the
city
administration.
P
Today,
as
well
as
last
monday,
and
I
I
know
if
I
tried
to
go
down
the
list
and
name
everybody.
I
would
really
miss
all
of
the
people
who
have
contributed,
but
just
know
that
we
know-
and
we
recognize
all
of
you
who
have
contributed
mightily,
including
our
own
staffs,
that
have
stepped
up
and
helped
to
serve
as
guides
as
as
just
organizers
I
mean
I
was
reading
my
emails
last
night
and
the
team
from
ward
9
put
together
an
amazing
visual
for
how
to
attend
the
inauguration
today.
P
So
we
just
want
to
especially
shout
out
the
mayor's
office,
the
clerk's
office
and
and
and
that
team,
as
well
as
our
incredible
teams,
from
the
communications,
finance
and
property
services,
information
technology,
the
city
coordinators
office
and
everyone
who
came
together
to
make
this
day
special,
not
only
for
us
as
city
council
members,
but
for
our
families,
who
have
traveled
near
and
far
to
to
be
with
us
to
celebrate,
encourage
us
to
support
us.
And
so
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
and
with
that
colleagues,
we
have
completed
all
of
our
business.
