Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
with
that.
The
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
There
are
four
items
on
today's
consent
agenda
item.
One
is
set
in
a
public
hearing
for
june
8
2022
to
consider
appointments
to
the
commission
of
civil
rights
item.
Two
is
authorizing
contracts
with
neighborhood
organizations
qualifying
for
the
neighborhood's
2020
shared
resources
and
collaborations
fund
item.
A
A
Seeing
none,
I
will
move
for
approval
of
the
consent
agenda.
All
those
in
favor
say
I
I,
those
opposed
that
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
We
have
one
discussion
item
on
our
agenda
item.
Five
was
referred
back
to
this
committee
by
the
city
council
and
it
is
accepting
a
justice
assistant
grant
from
hennepin
county
to
support
police
department
and
city
attorney's
office
initiatives,
and
we
have
robin
mcpherson
here
from
the
police
department
to
present
on
this
idol.
C
For
asking
the
questions
and
having
me
back
this
morning
or
this
afternoon,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
people
here
who
can
answer
some
questions
as
well.
Mary
ellen
hang
is
here
from
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
d.c.
Eric
forrest
is
here
as
well
from
the
police
department
to
talk
about
policies
within
the
department
itself,
but
in
general
I
believe
the
questions
were
related
to
the
jag
grant
and
and
immigration
and
what
we
might
have
to
do
because
of
accepting
the
jag
grant.
C
There
are
no
stipulations
within
the
grant
itself
that
we
have
to
comply
with
any
immigration
policies,
and
actually
we
never
have
had
a
problem
according
to
the
city
attorney's
review.
But
in
addition
to
that,
the
the
biden
administration
did
terminate
the
ice
communication
requirements
once
the
biden
administration
came
into
being.
So,
if
you
have
specific
questions
again,
mary
ellen
hang
is
here
to
discuss
them
as
well
as
d.c
force.
D
D
and
in
light
of
the
mdhr
report,
which
you
know,
documents
very
extensively,
the
the
racist
and
misogynistic
history
within
mpd,
I'm
very
interested
in
knowing
you
know,
2005
to
where
we're
at
now
in
live
this
report.
How
are
these
funds
going
to
be
used
differently.
C
C
That's
happened
since
the
very
beginning
since
2005,
when
we
initially
received
the
grant
of
the
grant
money
for
the
city
attorney's
office
I'll.
Let
mary
ellen
speak
to
that,
but
that
does
go
towards
an
attorney
who
helps
out
within
the
precinct
and
information,
but
she
can
certainly
go
into
more
depth
on
that.
The
half
that
then
does
stay
within
the
police
department
itself.
C
Half
of
that
is
paid
for
usually
or
is
used
usually
for
supplies
specifically
for
a
crime
lab
and
for
other
specialty
units,
but
it's
most
often
used
for
crime
lab
our
crime
lab
uses
a
variety
of
expensive
equipment,
and
this
is
a
way
that
we
can
provide
replacement
equipment
through
these
grant
funds.
The
second
half
so
it'd
be
a
quarter
of
the
grant,
is
used
for
payroll
for
overtime
and
what
that
is
used
for
is
primarily
specific
details.
C
Related
to
violent
violence,
prevention,
and
so
the
in
order
to
use
those
funds,
a
inspector
or
commander,
would
have
a
specific
need
and
they
would
then
go
to
the
deputy
chief.
The
deputy
chief
would
approve
that,
assuming
that
there
are
funds
remaining,
and
so
that's
been
used
like
that
for
years,
and
we
anticipate
still
using
that
it
is
very
nice
to
have
those
extra
funds,
like
I
said,
especially
for
the
equipment.
D
C
C
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
vita
members
of
the
committee.
I'm
mary
ellen
hang
deputy
of
the
criminal
division.
So,
since
we've
had
this
grant,
we
have
used
this
to
fund
an
attorney
position
in
our
office
and
we
have
used
that
position
to
be
a
precinct
attorney.
Currently,
it
funds
nundy
okaranko's
position,
he's
our
community
attorney
primarily
in
the
second
and
the
fourth
precincts,
and
helps
out
in
the
other
precincts.
E
There
was
a
time
when
we
had
enough
staffing.
We
actually
had
five
community
attorneys
one
in
each
precinct
due
to
resource
needs,
we've
pulled
them
back
and
so
namdi
and
carrie
johnson,
basically
staff
all
the
precincts,
and
so
without
this
funding
timing-wise
we
would
not
have
to
cut
any
staff
in
our
office
because
we
just
found
out
one
of
our
attorneys
is
leaving
for
a
new
position.
So
we
have
an
open
spot,
so
staffing
wise,
we
won't
have
to
lay
anyone
off.
We
just
hired
three
new
attorneys,
so
we're
happy
for
that.
E
We
would
have
to
look
at
resource
allocations.
I
made
a
lot
of
changes
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
basically
creating
one
large
team
of
attorneys
to
do
all
of
the
work,
not
specializing
so
much
in
domestic
assault
and
that
primarily
with
a
lot
of
new
attorneys.
E
I
want
everyone
to
be
really
skilled
and
well
versed
in
everything
that
we
do
and
honestly,
one
of
the
things
I
learned
through
the
pandemic
is
that
the
attorneys
on
the
domestic
team
that
work
never
stopped
and
they
were
suffering
mental
health
wise
with
you,
know
all
the
body
camera
and
that-
and
I
really
came
to
appreciate
how
heavy
that
work
is,
and
so
now
we
spread
that
out
amongst
everyone,
where
you
know
they
focus
on
those
cases
once
every
you
know
10
12
weeks,
and
so
I
don't
know
that
we
would
pull
mr
okawan
crow,
but
we'd
have
to
look
at
our
staffing
needs
and
say:
do
we
need
that
body
downtown
or
do
we
need
to
leave
that
resource
out
in
the
precinct?
E
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
director
mcpherson.
I
was
wondering
if
you.
F
I'm
not
sure
who
would
be
the
right
person
to
answer
this,
so
I
was
learning
about
this
kind
of
immigration
requirement
during
commit
during
full
council
last
week,
so
that
was
kind
of
some
new
education
for
me
and
I
just
kind
of
did
a
little
bit
of
research
and
it
looks
like-
and
so
we've
had
this
jag
grant
since
2005,
so
that
obviously
predates
the
trump
administration.
The
trump
administration
introduced
this
requirement
to
notify
ice.
F
Was
there
a
period
where
that
that
wasn't
being
enforced
or
before
we
established
our
sanctuary
city
like
because
it
sounds
like
we
never
actually
honored?
That
requirement
was
that
defended
in
court,
or
did
we
kind
of
find
some
legal
basis
to
not
comply
with
that.
F
C
D
E
Thank
you
vice
chair,
payne,
council.
I
think
that
is
correct.
I've
been
here
a
long
time
and
I
don't
recall
there
being
an
issue.
E
You
know
with
officers,
you
know
inquiring
about
status
if
they're,
not
booking
them
and
then
certainly,
if
they're,
bringing
them
to
the
jail
again,
they
are
just
simply
giving
them
off
to
the
jail
and
it
would
have
been
the
jails
policy
if
they
were
inquiring
about
that
and
doing
that
it
would
not
have
been
anything
on
our
end.
I'm
not
aware
of
any
litigation
I
can
check
with
mr
nielsen.
E
I
don't
know
if
miss
neff
is
aware
of
anything,
but
I
think
essentially
you're
right.
We
were
before
the
sanctuary
city
and
then,
certainly
after
we
were
following
the
fact
that
we
are
sanctuary
city
and,
following
you
know
what
that
ordinance
required
and
then
once
we
put
the
person
into
custody
of
the
hennepin
county
sheriffs,
they
were
following
whatever
protocols
they
had
in
place.
A
D
Thank
you,
chair
vita.
I
just
had
a
follow-up
question
around.
Can
you
also
outline
some
of
the
services
that
our
attorneys
provide?
You
know
that
are
based
in
the
precincts.
Yes,.
E
Chair
vita,
council
member,
yes,
so
our
community
attorneys
are
there
for
really
kind
of
two
primary
purposes.
They
are
there
to
be
a
resource
for
mpd
to
you
know
have
someone
that
they
know
that
they
that
they
trust.
When
they
have
questions
about.
You
know
legal
practice,
legal
protocol,
they
can
they
charge
cases
they
give
the
input
on.
You
know
on
give
them
legal
advice
on
how
to
do
their
job.
E
We
do
trainings
roll
call,
trainings
other
trainings
things
like
that,
and
then
they
serve
as
a
liaison
to
the
community,
both
business-
and
you
know
just
citizens
that
live
in
there.
They
attend
a
lot
of
community
meetings
and
they
provide
information
on
cases
that
are
going
through
the
court
system.
They
answer
questions
about
the
system
in
general,
update
them
on
anything
that
you
know
that's
going
on
in
the
city
or
that,
and
so
you
know
they
they're,
and
it's
it's
really
helpful
for
us
to
have
that
presence.
E
You
know
I
was
here
in
the
office
when
we
put
the
first
community
attorney
out
in
the
fourth
precinct.
You
know
in
the
early
2000s
and
one
of
the
things
we
didn't
anticipate
happening
was
they
really
helped
build
a
relationship
between
my
office
and
mpd
and
that
was
frankly
kind
of
lacking.
We
didn't
interact
with
the
officers
until
we
saw
them
at
trial
and
we
built
that
relationship
and
we
now
were
able
to.
E
If
you
know,
if
we
see
something
concerning
or
just
this
officer
maybe
doesn't
realize
they're
making
this
mistake,
I
can
email,
nundy
or
miss
johnson
and
say:
would
you
talk
to
that
officer
and
they
can
give
them
that
feedback?
And
it's
really
created
this
nice
way
to
communicate
with
them,
give
them
feedback,
address
issues
and
be
a
resource
for
them
and
then
the
same
with
the
community?
E
A
Thank
you
both
for
this
presentation
and
answering
these
questions.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
didn't
know
that
there
would
be
this
many
questions
until
our
previous
council
member.
So
I
appreciate
you
all
reaching
out
to
me
even
before
today
and
I
had
the
pleasure
of
speaking
with
namdi
about
his
role
as
a
community
attorney.
He
is
so
passionate
about
the
work
that
he
gets
to
do
in
particular
in
north
minneapolis.
A
A
I
know
he
serves
north
and
northeast
and
I'm
sure
he
was
just
as
passionate
about
northeast,
but
he
was
overwhelmingly
passionate
about
the
relationships
he's
created
with
community
members
with
the
fourth
p
precinct
inspector,
charlie
adams
and
the
trust
building
that
they've
had
over
the
years
and
and
after
talking
to
him,
it
was
very
clear
to
me
that
a
lot
of
things
we're
not
aware
of
the
particulars
the
details
I
want
to
have
presented
in
this
committee
right,
like
I've,
reached
out
to
my
clerk
peggy
and
asks
that
we
arrange
for
alternating
presentations,
and
this
is
something
that
we
clearly
need
to
have
discussions
about.
A
When
we're
accepting
money.
Council
members
are
allowed
to
have
questions,
I
don't
want
them
to
feel
like
they
have
to
change
their
vote
to
what
I'm
voting,
but
I
want
them
to
feel
like
they're
being
heard
and
their
questions
are
being
answered,
and
so
what
I,
what
has
come
out
of
this
for
me,
is
that
I
know
like
some
of
these
things
that
are
new
to
a
lot
of
us.
A
We
need
to
have
more
discussion
about
them
in
in
committee
and
maybe
just
regular
presentations
where
council
members
can
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
day-to-day
stuff,
because
there's
so
much
going
on
like
how
many
of
us
know
that
there's
just
like
a
community-based
attorney
in
north
minneapolis,
that's
just
like
ready
to
serve
right,
like
I
didn't
know
that
until
this
came
before
my
committee
in
agenda
set,
and
then
I
asked
questions
so
I
thank
you
all
for
being
just
so
good
about
this
and
really
walking
me
and
my
team
through
exactly
what
it
is
and
giving
us
a
better
understanding
of
these
things.
