A
We're
gonna
get
started
here
good
afternoon
everybody.
My
name
is
Lynette
palmisano
and
I'm.
The
chair
of
Committee
of
the
whole.
We
have
a
lot
going
on
this
afternoon,
so
I've
gotta
we're
gonna
get
going
here.
I'm
gonna
call
to
order
our
regular
committee
meeting
for
Tuesday,
December,
6th
and
I'm
going
to
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll
and
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.

A
As
you
may
know,
late
afternoon
yesterday,
City
staff
responded
to
a
pretty
serious
water
main
break
up
on
2nd
Street
North.
This
water
main
break
resulted
in
some
significant
impacts
to
water
quality
and
pressure
for
our
residents,
and,
while
we're
still
continuing
to
work
to
address
that
disruption,
the
city's
public
works
department
did
Issue
a
boil
water
advisory
for
residents
in
that
impacted
area
this
morning.
A
E
F
G
A
You
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
four
items
on
the
published
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
the
quick
update
that
I
just
mentioned,
and
also
in
addition
to
our
reports
from
committees
that
met
this
cycle,
we'll
begin
with
our
public
hearing,
which
is
to
receive
and
file
public
comment
regarding
Anthony
Thompson,
the
finalist
for
appointment
to
the
ethical
practices
board.
I
want
to
note
to
my
colleagues
that
our
official
role
in
this
process
is
only
to
hold
the
hearing.
A
H
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano.
There
are
three
Minneapolis
residents
who
serve
on
the
Minneapolis
ethical
practices
board.
The
board
currently
has
one
seat
that
will
come
vacant
in
January,
it's
for
a
term
of
January
3rd
2023
through
January,
2nd
2026..
H
The
board
members
are
appointed
by
an
appointing
committee
that
set
forth
in
our
ordinance,
and
that
committee
consists
of
the
chief
judge
of
Hennepin
County
and
the
dean
of
the
University
of
Minnesota
law
school
and
the
dean
of
the
St
Thomas
School
of
Law,
and
the
process
is
such
that
when
they
make
their
finalist
recommendation,
it
comes
to
you
for
a
public
hearing.
H
I
will
forward
to
the
committee
any
comments
that
are
received
today,
any
that
have
been
received
through
the
posting.
That's
been
out
on
the
ethical
practices
Board
website
and
on
the
city
clerk's
website,
and
assuming
that
that
they
receive
those
comments
and
continue
with
their
appointment.
Then
Anthony
Thompson,
who
is
here
today
and
will
be
the
first
speaker
in
the
public
hearing,
will
be
appointed
to
serve
that
term.
I
A
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity,
clerk
I'm
going
to
ask.
Do
we
have
any
members
signed
any
people
signed
up
at
this
point
in
time
if
there?
Anyone,
if
there
is
anybody
here
that
is
not
signed
up,
you
are
welcome
to
see
the
clerk
at
the
Deus
to
sign
up.
You
would
have
up
to
two
minutes
and
I'd
only
ask
you
to
start
with
your
name
for
the
record.
Do
we
have
anybody
here
to
speak
anybody
here
to
speak,
seeing
none
I
will
now
close
the
public
hearing.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
was
just
hoping
that
Mr
Thompson
can
just
give
us
a
little
bit
about
his
background.
I
About
myself,
I've
been
a
practicing
attorney
for
well
since
2003
I
served
on
the
Fourth
Judicial
District
Ethics
Committee
for
a
period
of
several
years,
and
currently
I
am
a
senior
investigator
at
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Labor
and
Industry
investigating
licensing
violations
and
I've
been
there
since
2017.
E
Thank
you,
sir.
Did
you
go
to
law
school
in.
I
This
community
or
I
went
to
law
school
at
Hamlin,
University
I
went
to
the
University
of
Minnesota
for
undergraduate
and
I
went
to
De
La
Salle
for
high
school.
E
I
A
I
H
Thank
you,
chair
Paul
massano,
the
2021
annual
report
of
the
ethical
practices
board
was
sent
out
to
all
council
members
and
department
heads
in
November
of
or
October
of
2021,
so
2022
almost
a
year
late,
and
it
has
also
been
posted
on
the
ethical
practices
Board
website.
The
annual
report
has
three
main
subjects
that
it's
going
to
go
through.
The
first
is
ethics
education
and
every
year
since
the
ethics
code
has
been
adopted,
the
board
has
tracked
the
ethics
education
requirements
at
our
employees.
H
All
of
those
managed
to
achieve
100
compliance,
which
is
a
difficult
task
in
that
ethics.
Education
for
an
employee
occurs
once
every
three
years
and
it's
on
a
rolling
basis.
So,
three
years
from
the
date
they
took
the
training,
they
will
fall
out
of
compliance
and,
although
we've
been
working
on
it
for
many
years
to
get
an
automated
system
to
remind
these
employees
of
when
their
education
requirements
are
that
they
need
to
take
education
again.
H
There
still
is
not
an
automated
system,
and
so
it
falls
upon
the
department
track
that
and
for
me
to
remind
them
and
this
year
the
the
fact
that
we
received
the
700
compliance
I
think
is
a
good
sign,
because
I'm
hoping
for
even
more
departments
at
100
percent.
For
this
upcoming
2022
calendar
year,
the
remaining
departments
ranged
from
less
than
one
percent
out
of
compliance
to
40
percent
out
of
compliance,
which
is
a
very
broad
range
and
indicates
some
serious
issues
that
we
worked
on
during
2022.
H
So
I'm
thinking
that
this
year,
we'll
see
that
40
percent
drop
significantly
and
as
I
noted,
already
we're
continuing
to
work
with
it
and
HR
to
get
the
automated
reminders
to
employees,
because
those
are
the
ones
that
fall
out
as
elected
officials.
You
get
training
once
every
four
years
and
that's
when
you
come
into
office
and
you
usually
can't
escape
my
training
and
so.
J
H
Know
remains
in
compliance
during
their
time
here,
but
employees
it's
a
little
trickier
and
things
get
in
the
way
and
they
don't
happen
to
get
it
done.
Also,
this
year,
HR
is
working
on
the
next
iteration
of
Ethics
education.
The
code
requires
that
that
responsibility
fall
in
HRS
training
and
development
team
and
that
training
should
go
live
early
in
January,
at
least
that's
the
last
I
heard
about
that.
H
The
next
big
category
of
the
ethics
report
has
to
do
with
the
types
of
Ethics
advice
that
was
given
during
the
year
on
the
pie
chart.
If
you
can
see
the
pie
chart
on
the
screen,
you
see
that
there's
a
very
big
grouping,
light
blue.
This
is
the
first
year
that
this
has
been
such
a
large
category
and
it
was
related
to
how
do
I
file
a
complaint.
H
We
had
a
lot
of
inquiries
this
year
on
complaints
and
how
we
file
them,
and
some
of
that
is
evidence
as
well.
In
the
number
of
complaints
received
in
2021.
Those
numbers
were
up
the
usual
categories
for
inquiries
that
are
usually
the
top
three
are
usually
gifts,
which
this
time
came
in
around
15.
That's
the
red
segment
on
that
pie.
Chart
and
conflict
interest
is
always
in
the
top
three,
and
that
came
in
at
12
percent
this
year.
H
Also,
we
had
a
large
percent
of
inquiries
related
to
outside
and
post
employment
and
then
that
there,
though,
it's
a
Big
Slice
all
other
inquiries
that
combines
everything
else
that
was
less
than
a
small
percentage.
So
the
typical
range,
with
the
exception
of
an
increase
in
complaint
process.
H
The
last
slide
here
has
to
do
with
the
ethics
complaints.
Last
year
in
2021
there
were
87
new
complaints
containing
114
allegations
and
18
complaints
were
carried
over
from
prior
years.
The
top
complaint
categories
were
discrimination
and
harassment,
employee
relations
followed
second
and
then
use
the
city,
resources
and
time
and
political
activity.
H
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
see
in
the
last
year
of
or
in
2021
was
that
there
appeared
to
be
more
complaints
being
filed
that
had
no
basis
in
the
ethics
code.
Hence
the
large
number
of
employee
relations
type
complaints,
complaints
about
how
their
supervisor
is
handing
out
their
work
or
other
things
that
were
HR
related,
not
ethics,
code
related
and
then
complaints
from
the
community.
That
also
did
not
have
a
basis
in
the
ethics
code
and
those
are
the
highlights
of
the
2021
annual
report
and
I
can
stand
for
questions.
A
Thank
you
for
that
presentation,
Ms
tremel,
and
also
thank
you
for
serving
as
our
city
ethics
officer.
We
know
that
that's
not
always
an
enviable
position
and
we
can
only
imagine
the
kinds
of
Outreach
that
you
that
you
get
and
you
handle
it
all
very
professionally,
and
we
thank
you.
Is
there
any
discussion
or
comments
or
questions
from
my
colleagues.
F
Thank
you.
Susan
I,
too,
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
and
you're
put
in
a
tough
position
so
many
times
that
you
handle
with
Grace
and
dignity,
and
and
thank
you
for
your
service.
A
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
as
I
get
started
here
with
the
report.
Hopefully,
you've
all
had
a
chance
to
review
the
policy
in
front
of
you,
as
the
vice
president
mentioned.
My
name
is
Casey
Carl
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
a
city
clerk
and,
as
noted
I'm
here
today,
to
share
with
you
the
draft
policy
on
legislative
directives
and
informal
requests.
C
Thus,
the
charter
provides
specific
means
for
how
the
council
can
engage
with
the
administration
through
the
mayor
to
request
information
or
assistance
for
its
official
legislative
policy,
making
oversight
and
representative
functions.
A
formal
presentation
outlining
a
process
was
made
to
this
body
at
its
regular
meeting
on
February
8th
of
this
year
and
later
on.
March
22nd
formal
action
by
the
body
was
taken
to
direct
staff
to
prepare
a
policy
that
would
codify
a
clear
and
consistent
process
to
support
these
types
of
interactions.
C
A
copy
of
that
directive
is
provided
on
this
slide
for
your
reference
as
work
continued
on
the
Omnibus
government
structure,
ordinance,
which
consumed
most
of
this
year.
Work
on
this
policy
proposal
was
suspended.
However,
additional
refinements
to
that
initial
draft
were
made
based
on
feedback
that
staff
received
from
elected
policy
makers
and
department
heads
the
purpose
on
getting
that
feedback
was
to
refine,
to
clarify
and,
most
importantly,
to
simplify
what
was
originally
as
you'll
recall,
a
very
complex
five-step
process
that
involved
requests
and
referrals
and
resolutions
or
responses.
C
So
on
this
Slide,
the
draft
policy
would
establish
essentially
two
basic
Pathways,
to
provide
that
connection
between
the
council
and
administration
at
a
high
level.
These
two
Pathways
can
be
divided
into
formal
requests,
which
are
shown
on
the
left
side
of
the
slide
here
and
informal
requests,
those
that
are
shown
on
the
left
side.
So
some
key
distinctions
between
these
two
pathways
are
also
shown
on
the
slide.
For
example,
a
formal
request
is
what
we
would
call
a
legislative
directive.
C
A
legislative
directive
is
almost
always
going
to
be
tied
to
the
council's
official
legislative
and
policy
making
functions
as
well
as
its
formal
oversight
of
the
city
Enterprise.
It
might,
for
example,
include
requests
for
original
research,
in-depth
analysis
or
study,
formal
policy
or
program
evaluation
or
similar
scopes
of
work,
usually
in
connection
with
either
new
or
amended
local
legislation
and
public
policies.
So
basically,
these
formal
requests
are
the
things
they're
going
to
be
tied
to
the
administration
to
initiate
new
work
on
the
city's
work
with
respect
to
policies,
programs
and
projects.
C
C
On
the
other
hand,
informal
requests
are
just
that
didn't
come
up
with
a
different
name.
Informal
requests
are
informal
requests
and
these
are
requests
for
a
certain
routine
public
data,
that's
easily
available
or
which
can
be
easily
produced
so,
for
example,
data
about
the
details
of
specific
operations
or
programs
readily
available
from
the
Departments
and
classified
as
being
public
data
under
state
law.
Informal
requests
also
can
be
used
to
request
information
or
assistance
from
departments
within
their
existing
and
planned
operations.
C
I'll
go
through
each
of
those
with
a
little
more
detail.
So
we'll
start
with
informal
requests
of
these
two
Pathways
staff
is
hoping
that
this
pathway,
the
informal
request,
becomes
the
default
or
has
preference
for
the
majority
of
requests
from
council
members,
that
is
to
say
that
council
members
are
welcome
and
encouraged
to
contact
departments
with
their
requests,
either
requests
for
their
own
needs
or
on
behalf
of
their
constituents.
C
As
you
can
see
on
the
slide,
the
policy
indicates
that
informal
requests
involve
public
data
that
exists
or
is
readily
available,
as
I
mentioned,
or
which
require
only
minor
staff.
Effort
to
produce
informal
requests
also
could
involve
assistance
from
departments
which
is
particularly
helpful
for
constituent
Services
requests
that
Ward
offices
receive
when
those
requests
do
not
impact
the
normal
planned
operations
or
disrupt
or
interfere
with
the
planned
activities
of
the
department.
Informal
requests
are
typically
transactional
in
nature.
They
do
not
present
significant
or
substantive
work.
C
They
never
are
used
to
introduce
new
policies,
programs
or
priorities
or
to
make
changes
in
existing
policies,
programs
or
priorities.
Finally,
generally,
where
a
request
is
specific
to
a
ward
or
a
constituent
issue,
then
the
administration
would
provide
the
responsive
data
or
assistance
directly
to
the
inquiring
council.
Member
other
departments
would
be
engaged
as
necessary
to
ensure
that
the
response
is
comprehensive
and
complete.
However,
where
any
informal
request
does
not
does
actually
pertain
to
existing
policies,
programs
or
priorities
or
to
potential
or
anticipated
changes.
C
The
second
pathway,
as
noted
earlier,
is
the
legislative
directive
which
I've
highlighted
these
essentially
replace
the
former
use
we're
familiar
with
of
Staff
directives.
A
legislative
directive
is
a
formal
act
by
the
full
city.
Council
is
defined
under
Section
4.4
A2
of
the
city
Charter.
That
means
that
every
directive
is
also
subject
to
the
approval
or
the
veto
of
the
mayor.
Following
the
standard
legislative
process
being
more
formal
in
nature,
we
anticipate
that
directives
are
likely
to
be
used
more
for
council's
legislative
policy
making
and
oversight
functions.
C
These
needs
are
anticipated
in
sections
7.1,
H1B
and
7.1
H2
of
the
city
Charter
also
reflected
on
this
slide.
Directives
are
prepared
in
writing,
they're
generally
processed
through
the
standing
committee
system.
That
means
that
the
committee
with
subject
matter
jurisdiction
would
review
and
make
recommendations
for
final
action
and
consideration
by
the
full
city
council.
A
directive
is
adopted
by
a
majority
vote
of
those
council
members
present
and
participating
in
the
meeting
at
if
adopted
by
the
council
and
approved
by
the
mayor.
C
As
I
noted,
the
final
draft
before
the
body
incorporates
feedback
we've
received
over
many
months
from
elected
policy
makers
and
all
of
our
operating
department
heads
in
the
administration.
The
formal
details
have
been
reduced
to
an
easy
to
follow.
Two-Page
summary,
that's
included
in
the
policy,
as
shown
on
this
slide
are
driving
purpose
was
to
provide
clear,
consistent
policy
guidance
for
structured
interactions
between
the
council
and
its
committees,
as
well
as
individual
council
members
with
the
city
Administration.
C
The
legislative
directive
does
provide
a
more
formal
process
for
handling
requests
that
involve
council's
official
functions,
we're
hoping
that
the
major
majority
of
our
requests
can
be
satisfied
through
that
informal
request
process,
but
we
will,
of
course,
Monitor
and
report
back
any
policy
or
process
reforms
or
improvements
in
the
future.
We
do
hope
that
in
the
next
few
months,
we
will
further
shape
any
implementation
procedures
so
that
we
can
work
together
to
perfect
this
process
and
our
shared
understanding
of
how
it
works.
C
With
that
I've
concluded
my
presentation
Madam.
Vice
president
I
would
like
to
express
appreciation
to
our
interim
City
operations,
officer,
Heather
Johnston,
who
I
believe
yep
is
in
the
room.
She
initiated
this
policy
proposal
for
us
and
has
been
the
driving
force
behind
it
for
all
of
these
many
months
and
has
shepherded
the
internal
work
to
get
it
completed,
also
to
our
new
City
attorney
Kristen
Anderson,
and
to
managing
attorney
Susan
Trammell
who's.
A
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
I
will
move
approval
of
item
three.
Is
there
a
second
I'll
I'll
just
start
to
say
thank
you,
Ms
Johnston,
Ms,
Anderson
and
Mr
Carl
and
Miss
Trammell
for
your
work
on
this
throughout
this
year,
based
on
the
very
beginning
of
how
we
thought
we
would
draft
this,
it's
gotten
a
lot
more
succinct
and
I
think
that
that's
a
good
thing.
A
It's
been
a
bumpy
road
here
with
all
of
us
as
colleagues,
but
I
do
think
that
we've
we've
figured
it
out,
and
this
is
how
we
have
gotten
to
the
point
of
operating
and
it's
important
to
share
that
and
put
that
out
there,
so
that
the
public
is
aware
and
understands
how
we
operate
with
these
kinds
of
requests
as
well.
Council
member
Payne.
K
Thank
you,
chair,
palmisano,
I'm,
wondering
so
for
a
context.
You
know,
I
read
through
the
the
gender
member
I
read
through
the
the
Siegel
memo
and
one
of
the
you
know,
themes
like
one
memo
was
drafted
and
the
previous
government
structure
the
one
the
gender
memo
was
for
the
new
government
structure,
but
both
are
trying
to
tackle
this
division
of
power
between
executive
and
legislative
and
both
of
them
kind
of
I.
K
Think
from
memory
really
highlighted
that
there
aren't
there
isn't
a
clear
delineation
of
those
two
structures,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
overlap
and
where
we've
most
acutely
felt
that
overlap
is
around
legislative
directives
by
any
name
that
start
to
dabble
into
operational
details
and
I'm
wondering
if
this
framework
brings
more
clarity
to
that
conflict
or
it
speaks
to
it
or
if
you
could
speak
to
that
conflict.
C
Madam
chair
to
council
member
Payne's
inquiry
I'll
start
and
invite
some
of
my
colleagues
who
may
have
other
opinions
to
either
add
or
correct
me
where
I'm
wrong,
I.
Think
the
beginning
point
about
the
City
attorney
memos
that
interpret
legislative
executive
provide
that
there
are
in
many
instances
very
clear
delineations
between
what
is
legislative
and
what
is
executive.
C
There
does
become
a
point
at
which
they
come
together
and
on
those
areas
where,
where
they
come
together,
it
can
at
times
be
difficult
to
distinguish
between
what
is
legislative
and
what
is
executive,
and
there
are
tests
that
have
to
be
considered
and
ultimately
I
think.
As
a
former
interim
City
Attorney
Peter
Ginder
had
indicated
during
many
of
our
briefings.
C
It
also
seeks
to
provide
a
structured,
consistent
and
clear
bridge
between
them,
so
that
Council,
as
the
legislative
and
primary
policy-making
body
of
the
city,
Enterprise,
is
able
to
access
the
Professional
Resources
expertise,
resources,
opinions,
things
like
that
that
are
housed
in
the
administration
in
order
to
carry
out
its
official
functions.
That
voters
have
clearly
said
should
say
and
be
long
with
the
legislative
body.
So
I
do
think
that
this
policy
and
the
process
that
it
provides
as
succinct
and
simplified
as
the
attorneys
have
made.
C
It
we'll
be
very
clear
both
for
our
elected
officials,
whether
in
the
executive
or
legislative
branch
and
for
our
Administration,
the
the
department
leaders
and
certainly
the
hundreds
and
thousands
of
men
and
women
who
work
under
them
in
the
various
departments,
on
how
we,
the
entire
city
staff,
move
forward
together
to
support
each
other.
One
of
the
things
that
our
City
attorney
Christina
said
to
me
very
early
on
in
her
tenure
here
was
that
it
didn't
matter
what
your
job
title
was
where
you
were
at
what
department.
What
is
the
hurt
you
had?
C
In
the
end,
every
single
person
who
works
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
is
a
public
servant
and
we
all
have
here
the
same
Focus
which
is
serving
the
community
and
so
I
guess
at
base.
This
is
attempting
to
help
the
elected
body
who
represent
and
speak
as
the
proxy
of
the
people,
to
do
its
work,
A
system
that
they
can
count
on
consistently
to
do
that,
I,
don't
know
if
the
City
attorney
or
the
operations
officer.
K
So
if
I
heard
that
clearly,
there
are
contexts
in
which
that
separation
of
power
is
clear
and
then
there
are
contexts
where
that
separation
of
power
is
not
clear
and
it
kind
of
depends
and
how
we
navigate
that
as
a
political
process.
I.E
the
votes
right
and
having
either
enough
votes
to
override
a
veto
or
not
enough
votes
to
override
a
veto.
C
In
president
I'll
start
and
again,
I
think
that
the
City
attorney
should
weigh
in
there.
There
is
a
there
is
a
legal
question,
I
think
within
your
question
as
well.
I
I
believe
that
in
the
vast
majority
of
cases
it's
clear
what
is
legislative
and
what's
executive
I,
do
not
believe
and
and
don't
support
the
idea
that
it's
very
unclear
the
majority
of
time.
C
So
so
I
think
that
your
professional
staff
have
a
good
idea
of
what
is
within
the
realm
of
counsel
and
what's
within
the
realm
of
the
executive
branch
under
the
mayor,
which
would
be
the
Departments
and
operations
and
that
the
what
we
are
doing
and
the
why
and
for
whom,
which
our
policy
are
clearly
legislative?
How
when
where
by
whom,
how
much
it
costs
when
time
schedules
things
like
that
are
management
manage
anything:
that's
management
or
operations.
C
It's
going
to
default
to
the
mayor,
so
I
think
those
are
for
the
majority
of
cases
very
clear.
I
do
agree
that
there
are
some
situations
where
it
is
less
clear
and
it
can
default
to
a
legal
interpretation,
and
it
can
also
involve
the
political
reality.
As
you
said,
of
votes,
and
so
I
would
default
to
the
City
attorney
for
further
legal
interpretation
of
that
issue.
D
Council
committee,
chair
council
members,
I
agree
with
everything
that
that
clerk
Carl
said.
I
will
also
emphasize
that
this
policy
is
not
the
be-all
end-all
of
every
single
issue
that
we
might
come
across
in
terms
of
the
the
executive
versus
the
legislative
Authority.
This
is
really
about
how
the
council
gets
the
information
that
it
needs
from
the
from
the
administrative
to
do
its
policy
making.
There
are,
of
course,
going
to
be
other
issues
that
we
have
to
deal
with
about.
You
know
in
ordinance
or
in
other
things.
D
You
know
where
that
line
between
Administration
on
one
hand
and
and
legislating
on
the
other
hand,
fall,
but
we
really
do
think
that
that,
in
terms
of
clarity
around,
how
do
you
get
the
information
that
you
need
to?
Do
your
legislating
these?
These
two
buckets
I
think
we
couldn't
make
it
any
more
simple,
I.
Think
in
terms
of
how
do
you
engage
with
the
administration
and
and
the
way
I
sort
of
think
about
it?
D
Is
you
know
that
those
legislative
directives
and
we've
now
I
think
passed
about
three
of
them
and
they
are
really
those
those
directions
that
are
actually
asking
the
administration
to
do
additional
work
outside
of
the
normal
purview
of
the
day-to-day
services
that
they
provide
to
the
the
people
of
Minneapolis?
This
is
additional
work
that
you
want
our
experts
in
in
the
Departments
to
do
to
to
do
the
study
to
do
the
analysis.
D
Do
the
recommendations,
that's
not
part
of
their
normal
body
of
work,
and
the
charter
is
really
clear
that
that
the
council
is
not
too
directly
or
indirectly
direct
staff,
so
the
way
that
the
charter
Maps
out
to
do
this
is
actually
the
the
legislative
body
directing
to
the
mayor
and
the
mayor
either
approving
or
or
rejecting,
but
it.
D
But
if
the
mayor
approves
and
the
mayor
then
determines
what
are
the
appropriate
resources
in
the
administration
to
do
the
study
to
to
do
the
analysis,
do
the
recommendations
so
this
this
dividing
line,
really
it
tracks
the
charter
really
very
Faithfully.
The
informal
requests
are
indicated
in
in
the
charter.
The
charter
talks
about
the
council
being
able
to
seek
information
or
assistance
on
their
own
or
their
resident's
behalf,
so
again,
things
that
are
in
the
normal
scope
of
operations
of
a
department.
D
You
know
you
get
a
constituent
who
says
Hey,
My,
My
street
lights
are
out.
You
can
still
call
the
the
head
of
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
say:
hey.
Can
you
call
this
constituent
back
back
and
help
them
out
with
their
street
lights?
Absolutely
fine
for
an
informal
process,
no
problem!
You
can
still
contact
the
Department
and
ask
for
existing
public
data,
but
where
you
actually
want
the
administration
to
do
additional
work
beyond
what
they're
doing
for
the
constituents
directly
as
part
of
their
day-to-day
operations.
D
That's
where
we
go
to
the
legislative
directive,
because
it's
new
work
that
then
that
the
mayor
gets
to
determine.
Are
we
going
to
do
it
and
if
so,
how?
How?
What
are
the
resources
which
are
the
Departments
which
are
the
staffs
are?
Is
there
one
Department,
that's
overloaded,
with
other
things
and
I'm
going
to
choose
this
department
to
do
it
so
I
I
really
do
think
again.
Does
this
answer.
D
Every
single
question:
about
about
separation
of
powers,
no
separation
of
powers
is
a
a
weighty,
meaty,
legal,
legal
Theory
and,
and
we're
going
to
have
certainly
things
to
work
out.
But
in
terms
of
clarity
around
how
this
body
gets
the
information
that
you
need.
I
I
think
that
it
it
really
does
Justice
to
helping
you
all
and
helping
us
all
know
exactly
what
what
the
process
should
be.
So
I
I
hope
that
it
does
everything
that
that
you
need
in
that
regard,.
A
E
And
thank
you
Council
vice
president
and
part
of
my
questioning
has
been
addressed
by
clerk
Carl
and
City
attorney
Anderson.
E
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
I
do
want
to
just
note
that
we
have
been
having
some
conversations
about
the
potential
of
doing
some
trainings
around
these
topics.
As
the
City
attorney
indicated,
these
are
very
meaty
conversations
and
and
processes,
and
so
I
hope
that
we
are
considering
or
was
still
considering
and
exploring
those
possibilities
to
just
help
us
all
navigate
this
very
new
terrain
that
we
are
attempting
to
to
move
into
and
I
want
to.
E
Thank
you
all,
for
you
know,
work
on
this
and
this
whole
government
structure
throughout
the
entire
year
and
has
been
a
very
voluminous
body
of
work
and
appreciate
all
of
your
records.
F
E
A
Thank
you
that
item
that
item
is
approved
and
our
our
next
agenda
item
or
our
next
part
of
our
agenda,
is
from
our
race,
Equity
subcommittee,
so
as
such
I
will
now
be
turning
the
meeting
over
to
president
Jenkins
that
committee's
chair
for
that
subcommittee's,
chair
for
that
portion
of
the
meeting
council
president.
E
Thank
you,
Madam.
Vice
president
item
number
four
is
receiving
and
filing
a
report
related
to
the
ongoing
review
of
the
processes,
the
goals
surroundings,
the
Strategic
racial
equity
action
plan,
as
well
as
approving
the
extension
of
the
adapted
strategic,
racial
Equity
action
plan
or
S
reap
as
it
has
become
known.
As
and
I
see,
we
have
been
joined
by
Miss
Charisma
Smith
from
the
Department
of
race,
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging,
and
she
will
be
providing
us
with
that
presentation.
E
L
Ms
Smith
and
thank
you
for
having
me
as
we
get
the
presentation
up
and
going
there
we
go.
Thank
you
so
much.
This
presentation
is
update
in
the
Strategic
racial
Equity
action
plan.
I'm
excited
to
give
it
to
you
this
next
slide.
L
L
L
We're
going
to
look
at
some
of
the
themes
that
has
come
out
of
conversations
as
we
are
trying
to
discover
the
best
way
to
proceed
and
move
forward
with
the
Strategic
racial
Equity
action
plan.
Some
of
the
themes
that
has
come
out
of
our
conversations
with
our
colleagues
is
alignment
time,
resources
that
include
funding
systems
and
culture.
L
The
common
themes,
so,
as
the
current
term
for
the
S
reap
comes
to
a
close.
We
engage
various
process
earners
over
October
the
month
of
October
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
the
s-v
as
we
push
for
an
extension
to
the
Strategic
plan.
So
through
these
engagements
are
those
alignment
are
those
common
themes
that
we
discovered.
L
L
So
during
the
real
first,
bringing
it
real
to
the
front
and
my
mind,
it
sounds
like
a
goal
but
more
for
moving
forward,
and
this
was
someone's
statement
so
pardon
if
it
sounds
more
like
someone
trying
to
say
something
that
I'm
trying
to
remember.
Someone
said
for
Department
struggle
with
problem
identification.
So
someone
needs
to
do
it
to
come
in
and
do
it
for
them
if
they
can
identify
the
problem.
Still,
someone
needs
to
come
in
to
help
support
and
and
determine
if
that
problem
is
the
actual
problem.
L
L
So
I'm
going
to
repeat
that
for
clarity,
support
for
the
Strategic
racial
Equity
action
plan
should
consist
of
three
major
things:
money,
proprietorization
from
leadership,
backing
up
in
support
for
department,
heads
and
then.
Finally,
a
methodology
should
consist
of
consistency
across
departments
where
leadership
is
able
to
hold
employees
accountable
for
the
work
that
is
done
with
the
Strategic
racial
Equity
action
plan,
because
the
there's
a
diffused
or
what's
the
word
disaggregated,
where
everything
is
kind
of
its
own
thing
and
department,
heads
and
people
who
we
spoke
with
in
October.
L
Our
colleagues
said
that
they
want
more
inclusion
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
discuss
the
ideas
that
they
have
for
Ashby.
They
want
to
be
able
to
discuss
the
problem
identifications
that
they're
experiencing
so
here's
what
we're
experiencing
is.
Are
you
experiencing
the
same
thing?
How
are
you
resolving
and
trying
to
implement
those
resolutions
for
their
own
departments?
L
E
Thank
you,
Miss
Smith.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
councilman
rainbow?
Thank.
F
L
So
the
way
that
it
was
discussed
inside
of
our
meetings
was
departments
are
struggling
with
problem
identification.
So
more
frequent
meetings
will
help
department
heads
be
able
to
support
staff.
That's
on
the
front
line
of
the
issues
as
they're
working
to
Implement
and
bring
the
Strategic
racial
Equity
action
plan
to
life.
L
Leadership
holding
employees
accountable
and
then
there
is
which
I
think
might
speak
to
it.
A
little
bit
more
department
heads
can
then
identify
more
relevant
and
effective
metrics
of
units
and
priorities,
and
so
bringing
in
that
where
we
have
the
goals
bringing
in
the
effectiveness
for
the
metric
of
units
and
meeting
the
needs
of
the
end
user.
E
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments?
Oh
councilman

M
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
coming
in
today
and
and
giving
us
this
presentation.
I
want
to
also
extend
my
gratitude
to
your
department
for
taking
time
to
brief
all
council
members
on
what
you
were
bringing
to
us
today
and
sharing
a
little
bit
more
context.
I
think
that
was
that
was
really
important
in
helping
me
understand
the
the
background
and
all
the
information
that
you're
sharing
I.
M
You
know,
I
think
the
the
slide
from
your
presentation
that
most
caught
my
attention
was
the
solutions,
one
right
where
you
lay
out
seven,
really
Clear
Solutions,
to
address
the
feedback
you've
received
and
essentially
it
seems
like
there's,
there's
feedback,
that's
been
gathered
from
staff
and
then
it's
really
looking
at
okay.
We've
had
this
program
now
for
almost
four
years
and
how
is
it
working
and
what
what
needs
to
change
and
the
two
that
caught
my
attention?
M
The
most
are
number
four
and
number
five,
which
are
provide
funding
for
Department
implementation
of
s
reap
and
increase
Personnel
for
S,
rape,
implementation
and
tech
support,
and
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
M
It
sounds
like
when
I'm
looking
at
it,
at
least
that
feels
like
that's
actually
the
thing
that's
what
you're
asking
for
is
the
resources
and
the
people
to
be
able
to
improve
this
program,
or
at
least
that's
how
I'm
understanding
what
you've,
what
you've
shared
with
us
today,
and
you
know
it's
it's
very
it's
a
very
timely
thing
where,
in
we're
about
to
you,
know,
pass
a
budget
tonight,
you
know
knock
on
wood,
but
in
in
the
allocation
for
your
department
in
the
next
year.
M
L
N
Madam,
chair
council,
member
truck
Titan
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Charisma
Smith
for
coming
and
doing
this
presentation.
Obviously
she's
filling
in
for
a
couple
of
folks
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude
publicly
for
her
willingness
to
do
so.
N
We
have
additional
resources
for
this
work
and
trying
to
make
do
the
analysis
associated
with
S3
and
really
the
purpose
of
that
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
integrate
that
into
every
department,
and
so
the
training
resources
are
intended.
This
is
not
one
Department's
goal,
or
this
is
not
one
Department's
responsibility
and
it's
really
making
sure
that
we
have
adequate
resources
and
I
believe
in
this.
The
budget.
That's
before
you
that
the
resources
are
adequate.
E
You
said
it
councilmember
all
right.
Well,
I,
don't
see
any
other
of
my
colleagues
in
queue
at
this
time,
and
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
publicly
as
well
Miss,
Smith
or
taking
on
this
assignment.
It
is
it's
a
lot
of
work.
E
It's
really
critical
important
work
for
the
city
if
we
are
to
achieve
any
of
our
strategic
racial
Equity
action
goals,
and
so
the
department
plays
a
critical
role
in
that,
as
well
as
the
staff,
and
we
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
the
adequate
resources
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
you
you
spoke
about
in
the
presentation
and
councilmember
rainville
asked
about
was
support
from
leadership,
and
so
I
want
to
express
that
support
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
move
this
work
forward.
E
Thank
you
and
with
that
say,
no
further
discussion,
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
the
report
and
move
approval
of
item
four.
Is
there
a
second
I?
Can?
Thank
you
any
discussion.
G
G
What
a
day
the
work
in
front
of
you
all
you'll
see
work
that
was
done
with
chair,
palmisano,
Jenkins,
councilor
onesie,
our
interim
CEO
Johnson,
and
our
reib
staff.
It
has
additions
that
were
identified
in
our
strategic
planning
earlier
this
year,
so
you'll
see
Public
Health,
the
city
prioritizes
positive,
Youth
Development,
so
that
all
children
can
grow
healthy
and
safe,
and
two
environmental
justice,
the
city
prioritizes
sustainable
practices
and
renewable
sources
to
equitably
address
climate
change
while
restoring
and
protecting
our
soil,
water
and
air.
G
E
Are
there
any
comments
from
my
colleagues?
See
none
clerk,
please
call
the
world.
F
E
J
E
That
item
carries,
and
that
is
approved,
and
so
with
that
I
will
return.
The
gavel
to
council
vice
president
Paul
Masano
for
the
remainder
of
today's
meeting.
A
P
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
the
budget
committee
completed
its
markup
of
the
2023
Budget
on
December
1st.
The
committee
approved
27
amendments
to
the
general
appropriation
resolution,
as
well
as
two
legislative
directors
related
to
approved
amendments.
The
committee
forwarded
the
entire
budget
package
to
tonight's
adjourned
meeting
of
the
city
council,
which
will
begin
at
6,
05
PM,
the
city
council
will
hold
will
also
hold
its
required
truth
and
Taxation.
Hearing
at
this
meeting
and
I
anticipate.
P
The
city
council
will
take
final
action
on
the
budget
package
tonight
after
the
hearing
is
complete
council
members
pain
and
also
normally
bringing
forward
one
Amendment
to
the
general
appropriation
resolution
tonight.
This
is
a
revised
version
of
amendment
number
28
in
the
amendment
packet
that
was
considered
by
the
committee
at
the
markup
session
last
week.
The
authors
withdrew
this
amendment
at
the
meeting
in
order
to
identify
an
alternative
funding
source.
This
revised
amendment
was
sent
out
to
council
members
and
posted
in
limbs
yesterday.
Thank
you.
A
O
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
our
committee
handled
26
major
items
at
a
year-end
meeting
that
happened
last
week,
I'll
go
through
them
and
just
point
out
a
few
of
the
really
memorable
ones.
Item
number
one
has
to
do
with
expanding
pedicabs.
To
allow
for
electric
assist
item
number
two
is
an
application
from
midori's
floating
World
Cafe
item
three
is
a
a
permit
for
Camden
social
to
get
a
Sidewalk
Cafe
item
four
is
an
expansion
of
bulldog
into
Ward
one
item?
Five
is
a
relocation
of
Butcher
and
the
boar
toward
three
item.
O
Six
is
a
on
sale,
liquor
license
for
Dutch
bar
and
Ward.
One
item:
seven
is
approving
an
application
for
elusive,
which
is
a
distillery
in
Ward.
One
item:
eight
is
adopting
the
administrative
hearing
officers,
finding
a
facts
and
conclusions
recommending
denial
of
a
liquor
license
for
the
basement
in
Ward,
3.
item
nine
was
a
site
plan
review
and
appeal
and
we
denied
the
site
plan
appeal.
So
we
did
we,
we
stood
with
the
Planning
Commission
item.
10
is
a
rezoning
for
that
same
project.
The
council.
The
committee
approved
the
rezoning
item.
O
O
This
is
actually
to
allow
for
some
even
deeper
affordability
within
the
NOAA
preservation
fund
that
has
served
over
350
units
to
date.
Item
24
is
probably
the
most
major
item
on
our
agenda.
It's
also
the
most
major
item,
probably
on
the
council
agenda
in
months.
This
is
the
allocation
of
15
point.
0.58
million
dollars
in
funding
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
to
about
10
projects,
including
about
1400
units,
a
third
of
which
are
deeply
affordable,
and
unfortunately,
there
was
a
snowstorm
that
day.
O
So
many
of
the
applicants
were
unable
to
come,
but
it
is
quite
a
presentation.
Item
number
25
is
also
a
very
large
item.
This
is
preliminary
reservation
of
our
nine
percent:
low
income,
housing
tax
credits
and,
while
it
looks
like
it's
about
six
hundred
thousand
to
one
applicant
and
nine
hundred
thousand
to
another,
I
want
to
remind
everyone
that
these
tax
credits
are
sold
at
about
80
something
cents
on
the
dollar,
and
so
it
is
about
eight
times
the
contribution.
So
you
can
a
638
thousand
dollar
allocation
of
low
income.
O
Housing
tax
credits
are
sold
for
around
six
million
dollars.
So
it's
a
huge
contribution
and
this
project
is
on
the
fifth
and
Seventh
Ward
boundaries
and
council
members,
Allison
and
I
have
been
very
involved,
as
is
the
one
that's
at
Agate
housing
at
2800,
27th
Avenue
South
item
number
26.
We
haven't
had
too
many
of
these.
Yet
this
is
a
joint
meeting
of
the
mcda
operating
committee
and
the
economic
development
committee.
A
That
concludes.
That
concludes
council
member
Goodman's
report.
Thank
you
as
we
let
her
get
some
water
she'll
be
okay.
I
will
I
will.

or
amending
anything
on
any
of
these
agendas
today,
thank
you,
chair
Ellison
is
given
the
Pogo
agenda.
Are
there
any
questions
or
about
any
of
those
items?
Thank
you,
chair
Ellison,
and
everybody
on
Pogo.
That
was
a
long
one.
Next
we
have
the
public
health
and
safety
committee.
That
committee
is
chaired
by
council
member
Vita.
Thank.
R
A
K
Thank
you.
Vice
president
Paul
Masano,
we
made
a
motion
to
delay
the
police
conduct
oversight
ordinance
because
there
was
a
number
of
members
of
the
community
that
wanted
to
weigh
in
on
this,
but
frankly,
I
personally
wanted
to
be
able
to
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
on
this
I've
prepared
a
number
of
amendments
to
hand
out
today.
K
I
know
that
the
chair
does
not
want
us
to
be
doing
amendments
on
cow
today,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
these
out
for
folks
to
review
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
about
some
of
these
amendments
in
at
least
some
of
the
high
level
Spirit
of
them.
You
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
balance
of
appointments
with
counsel
relative
to
the
mayor.
I
think
that
the
mayor
has
enough
authority
over
the
department,
as
is
I,
don't
think
from
a
reform
perspective.
K
The
mayor
needs
more
influence
on
this
process.
So
what
that
one
of
my
amendments
addresses
that
one
of
my
amendments
addresses
our
data
reporting,
which
is
actually
speaking
to
one
of
the
Amendments
I
brought
forward
to
igr.
Today.
I
also
wanted
to
give
an
opportunity
for
public
hearings
around
some
of
our
policies
and
procedures
as
part
of
this
process,
and
you
know,
there's
quite
a
number
of
amendments.
K
I'm
bringing
forward
and
I
know
that
other
colleagues
have
prepared
amendments
to
bring
forward
and
I
know
that
we're
on
a
very
expedited
timeline
right
now
and
so
I'm
I'm,
maybe
perhaps
looking
for
advice
on
how
best
to
address
some
of
these
issues.
Given
the
current
timeline.
A
Thank
you,
I
do
want
to
point
out:
it's
not
it's,
not
the
chair's
privilege
to
say
whether
or
not
we
can
do
amendments
at
this
particular
meeting.
It
wasn't
posted
on
the
agenda
as
a
motion
we
were
considering.
So
it's
not
I
was
told
by
the
clerks.
It's
not
appropriate
to
then
go
into
this
motion
and
make
amendments
to
it.
Today,
however,
I
would
be
happy
for
you
to
hand
out
your
documents
and
and
share
that
information.
A
I,
think
that's
good
information
and
I
have
not
personally
had
an
opportunity
to
catch
up
with
council
president
Jenkins
about
a
meeting
we
had
just
yesterday
with
the
mayor's
office
on
this
and
I
would
just
say.
Generally
speaking,
we
are
all
still
in
conversation
and
I
invite
you
into
that
conversation.
I
would
like
a
chance
to
look
at
these
amendments
myself.
I
have
not
seen
the
suggestions
for
the
Amendments
either
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we
could
come
up
with
something
that
is
not
going
to.
A
You
know
be
about
52
iterations
to
this
proposal,
but
maybe
be
able
to
come
forward
with
some
kind
of
a
consensus
document
and
be
able
to
move
this
in
a
way
that
the
public
can
understand
and
follow
on
Thursday.
So
I
invite
you
to
go
ahead
and
briefly
share
your
amendments
and
share
them
across
the
Deus
and
with
the
clerk,
so
that
the
public
can
also
see.
K
I
will
hand
copies
out
to
the
clerk
to
distribute
I
prepared.
My
amendments
by
doing
markup
of
the
adopted
ordinance
that
included
council
president
Jenkins
amendments,
so
your
version
is
not
in
color.
So
those
look
like
a
kind
of
a
gray,
muted
tone.
President
Jenkins
amendments
and
mine
are
underlined
just
if
you
want
to
go
along,
but
for
the
discipline,
disciplinary
decision,
section
172.50
to
the
extent
permitted
by
Minnesota
statute,
section,
13.43
and
other
applicable
laws.
K
I'm,
including
we
should
be
reporting
the
the
Civil
Rights
Department,
shall
make
the
existence
and
status
of
all
complaints
promptly
available
to
the
public.
The
Civil
Rights
Department
shall
report
the
aggregate
total
of
the
number
of
complaints
filed
and
the
total
number
of
officers
implicated
because
oftentimes
there
are
more
complaints
than
the
number
of
officers
because
there
could
be
duplicates
and
the
Civil
Rights
Department
shall
report.
K
The
aggregate
total
number
of
investigatory
files
forwarded
to
the
police
department
for
disciplinary
decision
and
finally,
what
was
already
included
was
the
police
department
shall
make
disciplinary
decisions
promptly
available
to
the
public
upon
conclusion
of
any
applicable
grievance.
That
was
already
noted
on
composition
under
172.60
I.
Just
really
strongly
believe
that
there
should
be
13
Council
appointments
and
two
mayoral
appointments.
K
As
I
said,
I
think
the
mayor
has
plenty
of
influence
on
this
department
and
our
disciplinary
process,
given
the
executive
nature
of
that
office
and
so
I,
don't
think
that
we
are
restoring
any
balance
by
preferencing
mayoral
appointments
on
this
body.
I
am
including
under
our
qualification
section
that
members
of
this
committee
may
not
have
been
previously
employed
by
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
under
organization
I,
just
kind
of
clarified.
The
language
around
the
chairperson
and
vice
chairperson
of
the
commission,
shall
be
elected
by
a
majority
of
the
appointed
members.
K
Under
the
confidentiality
section
I,
my
intention
here
and
I
think
with
probably
some
assistance
with
the
attorneys,
but
my
intention
here
is
to
reflect
the
current
ordinance
around
opcr
so
that
all
members
of
the
committee
can
get
some
access
to
data.
I
I
know
that
the
specific
data
for
an
investigation
is
exclusive
to
the
review
panel,
but
I
think
that
the
full
committee
should
have
a
deeper
access
to
data,
so
that
language
is
reflected
here
and
again.
K
I
may
want
some
feedback
from
our
attorney
on
whether
or
not
this
is
the
appropriate
way
to
address
this.
But
all
members
and
contractors
paid
and
volunteers
shall
sign
a
contract
agreeing
to
comply
with
the
provisions
of
the
Minnesota
Government
data
Practices
Act
in
return.
The
city
will
afford
to
such
member
or
contractor
the
same
legal
protection
that
any
other
agent
or
employee
of
the
city
receives
who
performs
duties
within
the
scope
of
employment.
K
So
this
is
a
reflection
of
the
old
ordinance
that
we
are
intending
to
replace
and
I'm
trying
to
include
a
provision
so
that
all
the
members
of
the
committee
can
get
some
of
that
access
to
data
I
want
us
to
have
the
committee
review
and
provide
the
commission
mayor
and
council
with
impact
statements
within
within
120
days
of
a
profo
of
proposed
changes
to
all
policies,
procedures,
customs
and
special
orders
of
the
police
departments
which
govern
use
of
force
or
which
contain
elements
expressly
listed
in
federal
or
state
court
orders
or
federal
or
state
court
settlements
which
pertain
to
the
police
department.
K
So
this
is
so
that
we
are
prepared
for
whatever
policy
changes
are
coming
from,
whether
it's
the
federal
consent
decree
or
the
state
court
ordered
agreement,
so
that
this
committee
is
actually
reviewing
whatever
policy
changes
come
out
of
that
and
city
council
has
a
process
to
see
and
Elevate
some
of
those
changes
and
then
in
in
concordance
with
that
to
include
a
public
hearing
at
least
once
a
year
on
police
department
policies,
rules,
practices,
customs
and
special
orders.
K
The
commission
shall
determine
which
police
department
policies,
rules,
practices,
Customs
or
special
orders
shall
be
the
subject
of
the
hearing,
and
the
public
hearing
shall
be
conducted
by
the
city
council
committee
having
the
proper
jurisdiction
over
the
subject
matter
that
that
represents
the
Amendments.
That
I
would
like
to
bring
forward.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
Payne
I
appreciate
that
also
that
what
was
passed
out
on
the
Deus
here
were
a
series
of
amendments
from
both
council
members,
Chavez
and
chugtai.
A
A
I
appreciate
that
we
want
the
public
to
be
aware
of
all
of
these
amendments,
but
I
do
wish
that
you
would
speak
with
the
author
of
this
amendment
and
have
something
ready
for
Thursday
I'd
go
ahead
and
invite
and
just
see
who's
in
queue,
council,
member
Ellison
and
then
Chavez
and
then,
given
the
Amendments
from
council
member
chugtai,
a
brief
chance
to
speak
to
what
you
were
thinking
and
bringing
forward
councilmember
Ellison.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
so
I
I
actually
was
not
able
to
attend.
Phs
councilmember,
Goodman
and
I
were
at
a
very
important
housing
meeting
a
joint
housing
meeting
across
the
river
in
Saint
Paul
and,
and
it
was
just
one
of
those
conflicts
and
since
the
Saint
Paul
meeting
is
a
pretty
rare
meeting.
I
decided
to
go
to
that
meeting.
Q
It's
essentially
once
a
year
that
meant
that
I
missed
an
opportunity
to
get
in
front
of
this
ordinance
at
committee
and
I
know
that
that's
sort
of
sort
of
my
problem
and
not
not
my
committee
member's
problem
but
I,
was
gonna,
say
that
in
in
in
the
aftermath,
I
was
thinking.
You
know
we
always
make
amendments
when
things
come
forward.
Q
You
know
I
definitely
wanted
to
get
and
get
a
a
longer
conversation
with
the
council
president,
because
I
know
that
the
council
president
has
many
amendments
forward
and
has
a
really
strong
vision
for
this,
and
also
want
to
take
adequate
time
to
look
over
the
Amendments
from
Payne
and
Chavez
and
Chuck
Tai
I.
Think
that
there's
probably
a
lot
of
good
amendments
in
here
Council
vice
president,
you
mentioned
like
building
some
consensus,
I
think.
Q
Q
So
I
I
know
that
it
that
this
platform
is
not
the
appropriate
place
to
make
amendments,
but
I
wanted
to
when
I
wanted
to
get
a
reminder
from
the
clerk
about
whether
or
not
we
could
refer
items
back
to
committee
from
Cal
and,
if
not
I'm,
happy
to
make
that
Amendment
on
Thursday.
But
I
do
think
that
that,
since
there
does
seem
to
be
a
lot
of
work
to
still
be
done,
I'm
not
trying
to
delay
this
item.
Q
I
may
I
may
very
well
be
satisfied
with
the
item
as
written,
but
I
do
want
to
have
them
the
the
time
to
do
this.
Work
with
my
colleagues
I
know
that
that
work
is
intended
to
be
done
in
committee
and
I
I'd
I'd
like
an
opportunity
to
to
do
that.
Work.
A
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
Clerk
Carl
did
you
have
what
say
you
clerk
Carl
on
this
I
I
will
pipe
in
and
say
that
we
are.
We
want
the
attorneys
to
review
these
before
Thursday
to
make
sure
that,
even
if
there
is
a
consensus
document
and
then
other
things
that
our
colleagues
want
to
bring
forward,
that's
fine,
but
we
do
need
them
legally
reviewed
to
be
appropriate
and
it
I
guess
to
any
of
the
city.
Clerks
I.
A
C
For
me,
Madam
vice
president,
the
purpose
of
the
report,
so
standing
committees,
is
for
a
general
awareness
of
the
body,
certainly
if
there
are
substantive
amendments
coming
forward
and
proposals,
it's
appropriate
to
share
so
that
all
members
are
aware.
However,
the
committee
of
the
whole
has
no
jurisdiction
over
this
item.
It
was
referred
directly
from
public
health
and
safety
which
has
jurisdiction
to
the
full
Council.
So
it
is
not
possible
for
this
body
to
take
any
action.
It
goes
to
full
Council
on
Thursday.
C
Council,
of
course,
has
full
discretion
over
how
it
disposes
of
the
item,
including
any
and
all
of
these
amendments
that
may
be
brought
forward
at
that
time.
The
fact
that
these
council
members
have
provided
an
advanced
preview
of
that
I
think
is
great
practice
and
provides
not
only
all
council
members
but
the
public
an
opportunity
to
see
what
would
possibly
be
coming
to
the
full
Council
on
Thursday.
Q
Thank
you,
Mr
Carl
I,
then
I'll
I'll
be
in
conversation
with
all
of
you.
I'm
happy
to
review
these
I.
You
know,
I,
wasn't
I,
wasn't
totally
prepared
to
kind
of
like
review
all
of
the
potential
amendments
here
at
Cal.
Happy
to
because
that's
that's!
Q
That's
our
job
as
as
the
legislative
body
here,
but
in
order
to
more
deeply
dive
into
this
and
to
have
more
conversation,
I
would
I'll
definitely
be
preparing
a
motion
to
refer
this
back
to
committee
or
at
least
delay
it
a
cycle
to
give
us
more
time,
since
there
does
seem
to
be
a
lot
of
work
that
people
are
interested
in
doing
on
this
item
and
not
that
I
don't
have
faith
in
my
colleagues,
but
I
do
I'm
not
fully
confident
we're
going
to
do
all
that
work
with
everything
we
already
have
on
our
plate
in
the
next
two
days.
A
A
I
would
ask,
are
you
would
it
be
all
right
with
you
if
we
just
finished
through
this
queue
on
this
specific
topic?
That
way,
we
will
be
done
with
that
topic
and
then
pause.
So
next
in
Q
is
council.
Member
Chavez
and
I
would
ask
if
you're
going
to
walk
through
the
different.
If
you
could
just
really
Briefly
summarize
the
things
that
you're
bringing
forward
there
are
copies
on
the
Deus
for
interested
members,
yeah.
G
C
M
I'll
just
add
for
for
the
public
and
for
those
watching
along,
we
are
you
know.
Our
clerk
has
asked
us
to
send
in
digital
copies
of
all
of
these
amendments.
So,
though,
you
can
find
physical
copies
right
over
here.
M
M
What
I
will
do
instead
is
is
say,
like
you
know,
this
is
a
very
substantive
list
of
amendments
and
I
think
they
all
are
really
important.
They're,
responsive
and
reflective
of
the
many
many
calls
and
emails
that
I'm
sure
all
of
us
have
been
receiving
I
think
we
got
into.
We
got
to
this
place
because
the
finalized
ordinance
language
didn't
become
public
until
48
hours
before
it
was
taken
up
and
I.
M
Don't
want
us
to
make
that
same
mistake
again
of
putting
making
something
public
right
before
we
finalize
it,
and
would
just
you
know,
ask
this
body
to
really
consider
sending
this
item
back
to
committee,
where
you
know
council,
member
of
etah
who
chairs
the
committee
has
always
been
very
open
to
other
members
of
this
body
coming
and
I
would
prefer
to
to
do
that.
Instead,
as
well
pause,
there.
S
Q,
a
yes
thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
This
is
the
first
time
I'm
I'm,
seeing
even
the
original
document
and
now
there's
so
many
other
amendments,
so
I
would
definitely
agree
with
council
member
Allison
I
was
with
him
on
over
Saint
Paul
and
give
us
time
and
if
there's
opportunity
to
delay
and
come
back.
That
would
be
a
great
idea
for
for
me
and
for
the
residents
Minneapolis.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
now
we've
completed
the
conversation
on
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
agenda,
I'm,
going
to
take
a
pause
and
thank
directors,
Lane
and
Anderson
Kelleher
for
coming
as
I
mentioned
early
in
the
agenda
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
We
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
just
provide
a
brief
but
timely
update
about
the
recent
water
main
break.
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
I'm
Barrett
Lane
I'm,
the
director
of
the
Department
of
Emergency
Management.
So
thank
you
for
having
us
here
today,
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
first
to
director,
Anderson
Kelleher,
to
talk
about
the
situation
in
the
field
and
then
we'll
close
up
by
talking
about
a
little
bit
of
the
Enterprise
support
that
OEM
has
coordinated
through
the
Office
of
Public
Safety
and
the
Partnerships
that
we've
developed
in
that
space.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
director
and
help
her
with
her
exhibits.
U
U
We're
going
a
little
low-tech
today,
everyone,
but
it's
impressive-
that
staff
could
get
this
done
so
quickly
for
us.
Thank
you,
Council
vice
president.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
council
last
night,
at
about
5
30
p.m.
We
experienced
a
break
in
a
36
inch
delivery,
main
water
main
at
the
intersection.
I
do
have
a
map.
I'll
show
you
at
the
intersection
of
Second
Avenue
North
and
29th
Street,
2nd
Street,
North
and
29th
Avenue
North.
So
the
area
where
the
break
took
place
was
is
largely
industrial.
U
The
water
flow
was
about
a
class
one
rapid
last
night
coming
down
the
street
and
you
are,
you
are
seeing
we'll
we'll
have
director
Lane
turn
this
around
I
think
that
the
the
clerk
is
concerned
about
the
the
angle
for
the
TV
for
the
public
right
now,
and
so
what
what
you're
seeing
here
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
level
of
damage
it
is
somewhat
isolated,
but
we
have
lost
us.
We've
lost
parts
of
this
street,
we've
lost
sidewalk,
we've
lost,
curb
and
gutter
in
this
area.
U
The
crews
have
been
able
to
stop
the
water
from
flowing,
which
is
very
important,
and
then
they
have
also
I
want
to
show
you
this
other
photo.
That
really
gets
at
awesome
this.
This
is
this
is
the
crack
and
the
Mane.
So
this
is
a
16
foot
Main
and
it
basically
we
are
missing
a
side
of
it
in
the
end,
so
the
water
has
now
been
drained
out
of
this.
Our
crews
are
in
there
director,
bankston's
crews
are
in
there.
They
will
be
able
to
make
the
repair
to
this
pipe.
U
Fair
I
would
call
it
fairly
quickly,
because
it's
going
to
happen
in
the
next
24
to
36
hours,
the
repair
will
be
done.
The
the
biggest
consequence
right
now
that
we're
dealing
with
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
councilmember
Vita
sees
this
map.
Okay,.
U
So
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution,
when
the
pressure
drops
in
the
delivery
of
drinking
water
to
lower
than
20
psi,
we
put
on
effect
a
boil
water
recommendation
for
this
area.
You're,
probably
wondering
why
the
break
was
over
here.
Why
is
why
is
the
boil
water
over
here?
U
Director
Bankston
can
tell
you
in
great
detail
about
this,
but
it
has
to
do
with
the
fact
that
the
pumping
station
is
up
on
Lowry
and
the
area
from
26th
Avenue
North
the
water
kind
of
got,
sucked
up
and
away
and
drained
the
pressure
off
of
the
system.
So
once
that
20
under
20
psi
happens,
then
we
have
to
do
testing
and
so
right
now
there
is
testing.
That's
taking
place.
U
The
early,
even
samples
look
good
in
the
sense
that
there
was
our
our
disinfectant
was
still
in
the
system,
but
until
we
can
have
a
totally
clear
read
of
that
sample,
there
will
be
a
boil
water
for
the
affected
area.
What
that
means
is
for
drinking
and
cooking
people
need
to
boil
water
for
three
minutes.
They
have
water.
Water
is
there
in
that
area,
but
they
should
boil
the
water.
U
We
also
provided
four-
and
this
is
where
office
of
emergency
management
has
been
very,
very
helpful
in
helping
us
coordinate
with
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
to
have
at
farview
park.
Bottled
water
distribution
started
at
noon
today,
we'll
run
to
eight
tonight,
we'll
do
it
again
tomorrow,
until
we
can
get
that
all
clear
signal
so
for
people
who
it
might
be
easier
or
maybe
community
members
who
want
to
bring
some
water
to
someone
there's
80
residences
in
this
area
that
are
affected.
There
is
also
Lowry
Towers,
which
is
managed
by
the
Minnesota
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
U
We've
been
in
touch
with
the
public
housing
authority,
they
have
water,
they
had
lost
some
pressure,
they
have
distributed
notices
to
every
single
resident,
just
like
folks
from
our
water
department,
went
door
to
door
to
deliver
those
notices
to
the
80
single
family
or
duplex
residences
along
the
way.
The
other
thing
I
you
should
know
is
that
the
water
outage
right
now
is
actually
Dowling
to
24th,
and
that's
because
to
get
the
water
valve
shut
off
and
to
get
the
area
contained,
we
had
to
go
with
a
little
bit
bigger
area
there.
U
We
are
hopeful
that
we
can
start
to
bring
that
service
back
online
a
little
bit
at
a
time
to
kind
of
get
that
area
shrunk
down
and
then
be
able
to
get
to
the
both
full
repair
and
then
once
Full
Repair
happens,
there's
still
about
a
day's
worth
of
work
that
has
to
happen.
You
have
to
disinfect
the
pipe.
You
need
to
make
sure
that
it's
pressurized
and
then
we're
in
the
good
again.
U
Just
telling
you
night,
you
know
1888.
This
pipe
has
been
servicing
the
city
in
a
really
amazing
way,
and
it's
pretty
incredible.
It's
a
real
Testament
to
to
the
public
works
of
the
past,
but
we
will
have
repairs
to
do
to
the
street,
we'll
do
a
temporary
fix
right
now
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
get
to
a
longer
term
fix.
When
you
know
we
have
the
better
weather
for
doing
that.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
reached
out
with
questions.
U
Everybody
was
really
supportive
of
giving
support
to
you
know,
first
and
foremost
to
Residents
who
would
be
affected
by
this,
because
that
is
the
number
one
thing:
health
and
safety
here
and
then
secondly,
making
sure
that
we
were
protecting
the
infrastructure
as
much
as
we
can
both
of
private
businesses
and
also
making
sure
that
the
public
and
infrastructure
is
protected.
Q
U
T
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
again.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
to
show
the
partnership
that
we
have
invested
in
over
the
years,
and
certainly
since
the
reorganization
this
year,
OEM
was
notified.
Department
of
Emergency
managements
were
now
known
of
this
last
night.
Through
our
our
protocols
within
the
office
of
community
safety,
we
moved
to
our
situation,
monitoring,
which
is
our
level
three
operation
again.
T
Our
role
here
is
not
to
go
out
and
and
do
what
these
folks
are
doing,
but
to
provide
that
support
for
them
if
and
as
needed.
So
we
were
well
positioned
to
do
that.
We
had
two
major
concerns.
One
we've
talked
about
touched
on.
A
little
bit
is
with
respect
to
the
community.
Obviously
that's
our
first
concern,
but
also
the
water
pressure
had
impacted
downtown
and
this
building,
and
so
with
the
mecc
operation
that
was
here
overnight.
We
went
down
and
checked
on
them
to
make
sure
that
they
continue
to
be
able
to
function.
T
This
have
impacted
both
running
water
and
flushing
toilet
set
from
a
pressure
standpoint,
and
so
the
other
aspect
was
you
know.
Would
we
have
a
business
continuity
response
today
that
we
would
have
to
manage?
Unfortunately,
we
were
able
to
get
to
the
hard
work
of
public
works
out
in
the
field.
We
were
able
to
get
the
situation
mitigated
and
stabilized
so
that
we
could
be
all
coming
to
work
at
the
downtown
campus
here
today.
So
those
were
the
two
areas
that
that
Emergency
Management
was
concerned
about
last
night.
T
This
morning
the
director
called
and
said
we
need
to,
as
was
right,
get
bottled
water
out
to
the
community.
We
were
able
to
stand
that
operation
up
in
one
hour,
so
we
had
water
on
hand
as
part
of
our
standing
equipment
cache.
My
team
connected
with
a
public
works
team
we
reached
out
to
the
park
board
and
ultimately
supported
by
them
as
well
as
Salvation
Army.
So
again,
the
Partnerships
and
capabilities
that
we've
built
here
when
we
use
them
perform,
perform
well
into
the
benefit
of
the
community.
T
So
I
do
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come,
and
just
let
you
know
where
we're
at
with
this.
We
will
continue
to
Monitor
and
our
team
will
continue
to
provide
that
water
station.
As
long
as
we
have
a
situation
where
we
need
to
have
that
boiled
water
order
in
place,
so
that's
where
we
stand
right
now,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
council
I
believe
that
the
director
had
another
comment,
so
I
will
and
but
she's
good.
So
we'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
If
you
have
any
questions.
Thank.
Q
Thank
you
amount
of
Vice
chair
vice
president
just
wanted
to
thank
director,
Anderson
Kelleher
for
the
call
you
know.
I
know
that
this
is
in
my
ward
and
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
folks
were
affected
by
this.
Q
This
building
was
affected
by
this
colleagues
were
affected
by
the
by
the
water
pressure
issues
and
so
I'm
glad
that
you
were
able
to
get
information
out
to
people
when
something
when
you
have
a
big
infrastructure
failure
like
this,
it
can
kind
of
feel
bigger
than
everybody
and
it's
like
well,
what
do
you
do,
and
and
I
was
just
really
grateful
for
our
communication
last
night,
because
it
made
me
feel
like
I,
knew
how
to
communicate
with
constituents
and
also
that
I
knew
what
the
next
steps
were,
what
the
solutions
were,
that
thing
wasn't
going
to
geyser
for
the
rest
of
the
night,
the
you
know,
and
then
you
know
I'll
also
say
I
think
for
a
lot
of
constituents.
Q
There's
a
concern
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
discussion
we
can
have
afterwards
about.
Are
there
other?
You
know
as
we're
heading
into
the
colder
and
colder
months?
Are
there
other
sort
of
ticking
bombs
so
to
speak
infrastructure
wise
in
the
ward?
And
that's
you
know,
that's
that's
my
perspective
as
the
ward,
5
council,
member
but
I'm
sure
that
other
colleagues
maybe
have
that
concern
and
so
and
I
know
that
constituents
certainly
have
that
concern
so
so
yeah
and
that
doesn't
have
to.
Q
U
So,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
councilmember
Ellison.
It
is
in
this
case.
You
know:
we've
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
storm
water
in
this
city,
the
Central
City
Tunnel
and
the
building
of
that,
and
so
that
piping
is
much
easier
to
inspect
much
easier
to
check
its
condition.
The
issue
here
is
this:
is
our
water
delivery
system
and
it
works
24
7.
U
every
single
day
of
the
year
and,
like
I,
said
this:
1888
pipe
has
been
very
hard
working
for
us,
and
so
it
is
something
that
director
Bankston
and
her
team
are
exploring
about
how
to
do
more
inspections
in
real
time.
To
try
to
look
at
this.
I
can
also
say
that
with
cold
settling
in
we
do
see
a
number
of
more
localized
breaks
every
year,
usually
nothing.
This
large
I
mean
in
terms
of
the
36
inch
pipe
more
like
you
think
about
this.
U
Q
Thank
you
for
that
and
and
I
agree
and
so
happy
to
be
sort
of
in
partnership.
In
that
way,
and
and
I
know
that
you
know,
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
is
when
you
look
at
places
like
North
Minneapolis,
to
have
this
kind
of
infrastructure
break.
It's
not
just
about
the
infrastructure.
You
know
there
are
folks
who
live
in
North
Minneapolis,
who
are
coming
from
places
where
you
know
that
environmental,
that
environmental
racism
is
something
that
they've
experienced
before
you
know.
Q
Black
communities,
Like
Flint
Michigan
comes
to
mind
of
having
to
boil
water
and
not
it's
not.
You
know.
It's
not
safe
and
and
I
know
that
this
is
not
What's
Happening
Here.
We
have
a
great
system.
This
is
a
this
is
sort
of
like
a
freak
occurrence.
Q
Hopefully,
that's
not
going
to
occur
regularly,
but
when
you're
dealing
with
folks,
like
my
constituents,
who
have
that
deep
level
of
anxiety
when
it
comes
to
you
know,
infrastructure
failure,
environmental
racism,
you
know
that
trigger
of
like
having
to
boil
your
water
and
and
remembering
a
time
in
your
life
other
another
time
in
your
life,
where
you
maybe
had
to
do
that.
Q
Not
to
mention
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
immigrant
communities
in
Ward
five
are
real,
already
nervous
about
the
water,
and
it's
taken
a
lot
to
teach
folks
that
it's
it's
safe
to
engage
with
water
in
Minneapolis,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
you
know.
The
the
this
break
can
be
fixed
in
a
relatively
short
amount
of
time
and
then
sometimes
that
distrust
takes
a
a
a
longer
time
to
fix,
and
so
but
I
I
really
want
to
just
emphasize
how
much
I
appreciate
it.
Q
You
all's
response
the
city's
emergency
response.
Public
Works
is
response
and
I
look
forward
to
addressing
some
of
these
other
issues.
So
thank
you.
R
First,
thank
you,
councilmember
Ellison.
A
lot
of
the
concerns
you
brought
up
were
things
that
I
talked
to
constituents
about
all
night
last
night.
It
was
an
ongoing
thing
and
people
are
really
scared
when
you
say
you
need
to
boil
water
or
that
there's
an
issue
with
water.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
addressing
that.
I
should
also
probably
apologize
to
my
husband
because
I
thought
he
did
something
to
the
water.
R
When
I
got
home
yesterday
and
the
water
wasn't
working,
I
just
screamed
out.
What
did
you
do
to
the
water?
So,
oh
sorry,
Ronald.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
crit,
your
quick
response
to
this.
You
know
I
got
home
from
work
yesterday
and
it
was
a
thing
right.
Like
I
didn't
know
what
was
going
on.
R
I
started,
getting
calls
I
started
getting
text
messages
knocks
at
the
doors
what's
happening
with
the
water
and
I'm
like
what
and
you
know,
I
go
turn
the
water
on
and
it's
not
running
and
I
tell
the
whole
neighborhood.
It's
Ronald's
fault.
He
must
have
like
broke
something
or
popped.
Something
I
don't
know,
but
thank
you
all
for
the
response.
I
would
love
for
you
to
just
keep
me
posted
on.
What's
going
on.
R
This
has
been
an
ongoing
conversation
since
last
night,
since
last
evening,
there's
been
a
consistent
amount
of
calls
emails
text
messages
about
this.
This
is
a
serious
issue
for
northsiders.
Water
really
makes
people
nervous
and
as
councilmember
Ellison
mentioned,
you
know,
even
though
the
issue
is
not
what
people
had
in
Flint,
it's
hard
to
tell
people
that
anytime,
something
comes
up
about
water.
A
lot
of
communities
of
color
just
revert
to
what
they've
seen
in
the
news
about
it.
R
It
means
a
great
deal
to
me
as
a
council
member
to
be
able
to
speak
with
people
play
by
play
on
what's
Happening
and
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
and
thank
you
so
much
director,
Anderson
Kelleher
for
really
putting
it
in
perspective
and
saying
this
1888
pipe
right,
like
it's
been
doing
great
work
for
us
and
I.
Think
it's
good
for
people
to
know
that
you
know
we're
paying
attention.
We
can
address
these
things
swiftly
and
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
make
it
better.
So
thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director,
Anderson,
thank
you
for
being
so
prompt
and
thank
you
for
calling
me
last
night.
I
appreciate
that
and
with
your
team
here,
the
sooner
you
can
tell
us
how
many
other
pipes
might
be
in
danger.
The
better
you
know,
130
years
is
a
long
time
to
do
a
job,
and
maybe
we
have
other
tired
pipes
in
our
system.
So
please
let
us
know
as
soon
as
you
can
if
we
need
to
take
quicker
action,
especially
with
the
state.
E
Thank
you,
Madam,
chair,
I,
guess
first
I
had
a
question:
I
was
looking
at
the
images
that
you
displayed
and
I
couldn't
tell.
If
the
street
collapsed
and
broke
the
pipe
or
the
pipe
broke
and
disrupted
the
street.
So
I
was
wondering
how.
U
So
Madam,
chair
and
council
president
Jenkins
sort
of
like
the
chicken
egg
question
right,
but
in
this
case
it
definitely
was
that
the
the
36
inch
main
the
side
of
it.
It
it's
16
feet
long
and
we
think
about
eight
feet
of
it
or
more
was
just
it
just
was
gone,
and
so
when
that
happened,
the
pressure
of
the
situation
becomes
such
that
it
erodes
underneath
and
starts
to
take
out
the
infrastructure
above
it,
and
so
in
you
know.
U
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
also
barricaded
the
streets
off,
because
you
don't
want
to
have
a
situation
where
someone
might
inadvertently
Walk
Drive
and
be
into
one
of
these
sinkholes
very
quickly.
So
it
was
the
pipe
first
and
then
that
did
the
damage
image
to
the
infrastructure
above
it
and
around
it.
E
Wow,
thank
you
so
much
a
couple
of
the
comments
you
know
as
director
Lane
sort
of
mentioned,
this
was
kind
of
a
test
of
our
new
structure
and
it
seems,
like
you
know,
all
of
the
entities
you
name
911-311
fire
police
office
of
emergency
management.
E
Right
absolutely
and
that
that
just
speaks
volumes
to
the
importance
of
cooperation
and
in
the
spirit
of
really
working
together
to
get
our
our
city
functioning
and
moving
I,
I,
guess
I.
The
last
point
I
would
make
or
ask
the
pipe
is
1888.
He
said
I
I
kind
of
believe
that
the
maintenance
facility
that
is
currently
operating
is
from
the
same
era.
U
Madam
chair
and
president
Jenkins,
yes,
that
that
is
the
case
that
I
mean
I
will
say
that
our
supply
of
pipe
and
our
ability
to
make
this
repair
quickly
is
extraordinary
that
both
we
have
the
supplies
on
hand
and
the
expertise
in
our
in
our
Workforce
to
be
able
to
make
this.
We
didn't
have
to
call
in
somebody
else
to
do
it.
We,
your
city,
staff
and
employees,
are
doing
this
work,
but
it
is
true
now
I
will
say
that
director
Bankston
tells
me
these
cast
iron
pipes.
U
They
are
the
Workhorse
they
are,
they
can
last
for
200
years.
So
that's
why
we
are
going
to
do
of.
You
know
really
a
forensic
investigation
of
what
happened
here,
because
I
know
130
years.
It
sounds
old
to
all
of
us,
and
but
this
pipe
should
have
been
able
to
actually
do
even
more
for
us,
the
the
other
times
we've
had.
U
Some
of
these
situations
have
been
more
where
there
is
an
accident
where
a
contractor
I
think
the
the
thing
that
people
remember
is
2013
in
the
post
office
incident,
where
a
contractor
punctured
a
pipe
well
working,
and
that
caused
one
of
these
situations.
It
is
pretty
unusual
to
have
a
failure
like
this
in
one
of
these
cast
iron
pipes,.
E
Okay,
well
I
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude,
as
it's
been
stated
on
the
the
dice
up
to
this
point
for
all
of
the
efforts
from
the
multitude
of
City
departments
and
agencies,
and
thank
you
and
I
hope
we
can
get
this
resolved
for
our
residents
as
quickly
as
possible.
Thanks.
R
Thank
you,
I
was
just
wondering
if,
if
you
all
are
working
with
animal
control
to
maybe
put
out
some
messaging
for
folks,
so
they
know
that
the
pets
should
probably
have
boiled
water
also.
U
U
Know
we
have
a
limited
window
here
where
people
are
actually
paying
attention
right
at
this
moment
that
if
you're
in
the
boil
water
area,
it's
not
the
whole
city,
it's
these,
this
80
residences,
as
well
as
Lowry
Towers.
That's
where
the
Boyle
order
is
people
may
experience
some
brown
and
yellow
and
red
water
right
now
and
I
I'm
sure
you
experienced
that
councilmember
Vita,
because
when
the
system
has
these
pressure,
changes
and
the
water
starts
to
move.
U
There's
sediment
in
the
piping,
it's
usually
iron,
and
so
you
got
extra
iron
iron
water
right
now
and
what
we
encourage
people
to
do
is
to
use
the
tap
at
the
lowest
point
in
their
house
residence
wherever
they're
living
or
their
business.
Let
it
run
if
it
starts
to
run
clear,
open
all
cold
TAPS
in
the
household.
Let
them
run
for
two
to
three
minutes.
We've
actually
put
this
out
in
all
of
the
communications
we
have
that
water
is
safe
to
drink.
U
A
There
we
go
okay,
we've
got
a
good
shot
now
all
right.
Thank
you
and
I'll
just
end
by
saying
I'm,
not
seeing
anybody
else
here,
I'll
just
end
by
reiterating
it
like.
Thank
you.
This
is
really
important
to
everybody
in
the
city.
Thank
you
for
coming
and
helping
us
have
another
opportunity
to
understand
and
and
to
ask
questions.
A
You
know
you've
really
shown
director
Elaine
how
you've
made
improvements
on
internal
communication
and
cooperation
here.
Thank
you
for
stepping
in
and
assisting
public
works
with
us
we're
grateful.

K
Thank
you,

and
vice
president.
The
audit
committee
is
not
bringing
forward
anything
for
this
body
to
approve.
However,
we
did
review
our
our
audit
of
the
hiring
and
promotion
process
and
our
internal
investigation
process.
Audit
and
those
were
I'm,
told
two
of
the
biggest
audits
we've
ever
done
in
the
city's
history.
K
So,
although
we
don't
have
any
action
to
take
on
on
these
items
today
or
on
Thursday
there,
there
will
be
subsequent
actions
that
will
want
to
be
aware
of
so
might
be
worthwhile
to
go
back
and
review
the
those
audit
reports
for
yourself.
Otherwise,
we
got
an
update
from
about
the
city
auditor
and
the
reconstituted
audit
committee
status,
and
the
report
of
the
internal
auditor
and
I
will
stand
for
any
questions.
