Let
the
record
reflect
we
have
a
quorum
today
we
will
continue
hearing
presentations
from
City
departments
on
the
mayor's
2023
and
2024
recommended
budgets
on
the
agenda.
Today
is
neighborhood
and
community
relations,
Public
Works
and
racial
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging.
Our
first
presentation
is
from
neighborhood
and
community
relations,
better
known
as
NCR
I've
allocated
up
to
45
minutes
for
this
presentation
and
the
corresponding
q
a
if
we
reach
45
the
45
minute,
Mark
I'll
give
notice
a
five-minute
grace
period,
after
which
we
will
move
on
to
the
second
presentation.
E
Morning,
good
morning
my
name
is
Karen
moan
I'm
interim
director
of
neighborhood
and
community
relations.
Today,
I'm
presenting
on
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
NCR
department
for
2023-24.
E
I,
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
taking
time
today
to
hear
about
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
items
and
about
the
work
of
our
department.
As
a
chair,
Koski
noted,
neighborhood
and
community
relations,
Is
oftentimes
referred
to
as
NCR
so
I'll
be
using
that
term,
mostly
throughout
the
presentation
before
I
get
started
too
much.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
have
a
number
of
my
colleagues
here
from
the
NCR
Department
who
are
here
to
support
our
budget
presentation.
E
Ncr
connects
the
community
to
the
city
and
the
city
to
the
community.
We
do
this
by
engaging
underrepresented
communities
by
supporting
the
city's
network
of
neighborhood
organizations
by
ensuring
access
to
city
services
for
residents
with
disabilities
or
limited
English
proficiency
through
the
work
of
our
office
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
affairs,
and
by
connecting
residents
and
organizations
with
Community
safety
resources.
E
E
Here
you
see
ncr's
organizational
chart.
This
shows
how
our
department
is
structured
internally
to
achieve
our
goals
at
the
very
top.
You
see
that
NCR
reports
to
the
city,
administrator
of
communications
and
engagement
on
the
right
hand,
side
the
blue
box,
is
under
internal
Services,
include
staff
that
support
the
work
of
the
department
and
all
of
our
program
areas
to
the
left
of
that
there
is
a
blue
box
representing
the
office
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
affairs
and
under
the
deputy
director,
there
are
three
green
boxes
that
represent
program
areas
of
the
department.
E
E
There's
also,
there
was
one-time
funding
provided
in
2022
that
is
not
available
in
23
and
Beyond.
Additionally,
there
were
some
general
fund
overhead
charges
and
some
several
cost
elements
in
salary
and
Fringe
that
were
updated
to
more
accurately
reflect
actual
Personnel
costs.
Moving
forward.
E
E
In
essence,
this
is
an
accounting
fix
in
the
bottom
table.
You'll
see
the
current
and
proposed
Staffing
for
NCR.
The
decrease
in
Staffing
illustrates
the
move
of
the
crime
prevention
specialists
into
other
departments.
With
this
shift,
NCR
will
not
have
a
dedicated
Community
safety
program
area.
Moving
forward
for
today's
presentation,
I'm
going
to
focus
on
the
three
other
program,
areas
that
remain
in
our
department
in
2023
and
Beyond.
E
Before
I
go
into
depth
on
our
program
areas
and
proposed
budget
items,
I
do
want
to
note
that
in
the
presentation
today,
I'm
going
to
I've
highlighted
a
few
of
our
metrics
that
we
track,
but
it
will
not
be
a
comprehensive
update
on
all
of
the
metrics
that
we
use
to
report
out
on
our
work.
Our
dashboard
for
Equitable
engagement
has
a
more
comprehensive
list.
E
This
image
here
is
of
that
dashboard
and
that
can
be
found
on
ncr's
website,
along
with
the
quantitative
metrics.
We
also
include
narratives
and
qualitative
descriptions.
So,
if
you
have
not
already
I
would
invite
you
to
check
out
our
website,
and
you
can
see
all
of
the
metrics
that
we
use
to
track
our
our
work.
E
I
also
want
to
note
that,
along
with
other
departments,
NCR
has
been
working
with
the
office
of
performance
and
Innovation
to
identify
meaningful
ways
to
measure
the
impact
of
our
work,
we're
still
in
the
process
of
that
and
in
2023
I,
anticipate
that
we'll
be
and
continue
to
work
on
that,
including
updating
the
dashboard
to
reflect
those
new
metrics.
E
We
are
grateful
to
Brian
Smith
and
his
team
for
working
with
us
on
that,
and
so
now
our
three
program
areas
I'm
gonna,
be
discussing
the
mayor's
recommended
budget,
which
includes
two
new
change
items.
So
there's
three
program
areas
and
two
new
change
items
that
I'll
be
discussing
today.
First,
access
and
Outreach,
the
goals
of
this
program
are
to
assure
City
programs.
E
The
office
of
immigrant
Refugee
Affairs
worked
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Saint
Paul
and
the
Chambers
of
Commerce
for
both
cities
to
finalize
the
journey
to
belonging
in
the
Twin
Cities
report.
This
report
is
significant
in
that
it
provides
recommendations
to
how
our
city
can
assure
our
immigrant
and
Refugee
residents
have
full
access
to
contribute
to
and
benefit
from
being
part
of
our
community.
E
E
E
We
anticipate
the
need
for
these
services
will
not
only
continue
to
grow
in
volume,
but
that
the
complexity
of
the
cases
will
also
continue
to
deepen
the
chart
on
the
right
shows.
The
number
of
complaints
and
inquiries
received
relating
to
accessibility
as
protected
by
the
federal
American,
with
Disabilities
Act,
commonly
known
as
the
Ada.
E
E
E
Here's
an
additional
breakdown
of
how
we
spent
those
funds
the
pie
chart
on
the
left
hand,
side
side
shows
total
expenditures
in
2021,
broken
down
by
departments
the
pie
chart
on
the
right
hand.
Side
shows
the
number
of
hours
of
interpretation
services
that
were
provided
by
City
departments
in
2021.
This
is
just
one
example
of
how
those
funds
were
spent.
E
Remote
interpreting
includes
phone
or
video
interpreting
provided
during
individual
interactions
between
residents
and
City
staff.
So
you
can
imagine
this
represents
individual
interactions
between
residents
and
3-1-1
the
police
department,
Utility
Billing,
our
city
attorney's
office,
you'll,
note
too,
that
of
the
32
languages
provided
in
2021
Spanish
Somali
hmong
and
aromo
continue
to
be
the
most
commonly
used
services.
E
E
The
City
of
Minneapolis
has
an
estimated
population
of
over
ten
thousand
people
who
may
be
eligible
for
U.S
citizenship,
but
have
not
yet
taken
the
last
step
to
file
their
application.
One
of
the
identified
barriers
to
taking
that
last
step
is
the
filing
the
cost
of
the
filing
fee
for
the
application.
E
This
pilot
program
supports
ncr's
goal
that
immigrant
and
Refugee
residents
have
equal
access
to
participate
in
Civic
life.
Our
Target
over
time
is
to
increase
the
number
of
naturalized
citizens
annually.
With
this
pilot
program,
a
significant
barrier
will
be
addressed
and
we
estimate
that
at
least
30
households
annually
will
be
able
to
complete
their
application.
E
E
E
E
Some
of
the
metrics
that
we
collect
to
discuss
our
work
includes
the
number
of
people
who
attend
the
city's
annual
community
connections
conference
and
the
number
of
City
staff
that
attend
at
least
one
learning
lab.
Thank
you.
This
slide
reflects
those
two
metrics
the
chart
on
the
left
shows
the
attendance
at
the
community
connections.
Conference
NCR
has
been
tracking
this
since
2012,
and
you
can
see
that
attendance
continues
to
grow
every
year.
E
E
E
Along
with
our
community
connections
conference
and
our
learning
lab
series
being
back
in
person,
I
want
to
know
that
the
cultural
Community
engagement
Specialists
were
invited
to
be
the
keynote
presenters
at
the
International
Association
for
public
participation
Midwest
conference
this
year.
E
They
were
invited
specifically
to
talk
about
and
present
on
their
learning
lab
series,
two
main
bodies
of
work
that
our
department
produces
the
lifetime
for
aging
action
plan
and
the
American
Indian
memorandum
of
understanding
are
both
currently
in
process
and
being
updated
and
along
with
updating
the
lifetime
for
aging
action
plan,
the
city
received
an
award
from
AARP
for
completing
the
original
five-year
cycle
of
our
action
plan.
E
E
E
Our
city
is
located
on
lands
that
were
most
recently
inhabited
by
the
Dakota
people,
and
today
there
are
more
than
30
different
tribes
represented
here.
The
mou
is
entered
into
agreement
with
the
Metropolitan
Urban
Indian
directors,
a
group
of
organizations
that
focus
on
and
are
led
by
the
American
Indian
Community.
E
In
order
to
implement
the
work
of
the
mou
throughout
the
year,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
provides
funding
for
Staffing
and
work
led
by
Community
with
this
budget
item.
The
annual
allocation
to
support
this
work
will
increase
by
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
to
a
total
annual
allocation
of
ninety
six
thousand
dollars
at
the
core
of
this
goal
is
to
address
the
disparities
that
disproportionately
impact
our
American
Indian
Community
in
the
areas
of
housing,
Public,
Safety,
Health,
employment
and
economic
development.
E
We
also
collect
data
on
the
number
of
hours.
Volunteers
are
engaged
at
the
very
local
neighborhood
level
by
these
organizations
before
providing
data
on
those
two
measures.
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
here
to
acknowledge
a
couple
of
things.
So
first
I
believe
this
might
be
one
area
where
we
spend
some
more
time
in
2023
really
looking
at
our
metrics.
E
E
But
today
we
are
working
together
with
our
neighborhood
organizations
to
implement
these
new
program
goals.
The
vast
majority
of
organizations
are
working
towards
these
shared
goals
and
have
met
program
requirements
and,
in
addition,
our
department
has
successfully
transitioned
from
the
special
Revenue
tax,
increment
Finance
funding
source
onto
the
general
fund.
E
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
NCR
funds
and
arranges
audit
services
for
neighborhood
organizations-
this
is
done
both
to
provide
oversight
as
well
as
to
protect
public
assets
and
neighborhood
organization
boards.
Audit
Services
can
include
Financial
reviews
agreed
upon
procedures,
Audits
and
audit
audit
Readiness
reviews.
E
E
And
I
know
that
you
all
know
this,
but
neighborhood
organizations
do
much
of
their
work
through
the
hundreds
of
volunteers
who
serve
on
their
boards
on
their
committees
and
Lead
activities
in
their
communities.
Volunteers
respond
to
the
community
needs
and
do
much
of
the
work.
Examples
of
this
include
Neighborhood,
cleanups,
Community
Gardens,
offering
programs
for
our
youth
seniors
our
immigrants
every
year.
There's
an
incredible
amount
of
volunteer
time
invested
in
our
communities
through
these
organizations.
E
A
Thank
you,
director
Mo.
We
will
move
on
to
our
q,
a
portion
so
to
ensure
that
all
council
members
have
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
Q.
A
college
members
may
put
themselves
in
queue
to
ask
one
question
at
a
time
after
which
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
in
queue.
Council
members
may
put
themselves
back
in
queue
to
ask
another
question:
if
desired,
so
our
first
in
queue,
we
have
council
member
Goodman.
Thank.
G
F
Try
to
narrow
it
down,
I,
really
appreciate
your
report
and
seeing
this
presentation
says
to
me
that
this
department
is
woefully
underfunded.
These
are
some
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
do.
Engage
the
community
and
I
feel
like
we're,
nickel
and
diming
it,
and
it
would
be
to
our
council
members
disadvantage
to
allow
that
to
happen.
In
this
new
government
structure.
F
We
need
a
robust
system
of
engaging
the
community,
so
we
can
understand
where
they're
coming
from
to
be
ever
be
better
able
to
make
policy
decisions
about
about
what
should
be
happening
in
the
city.
So
I
would
first
say
just
looking
at
immigration,
Ada
language,
Services
neighborhoods.
These
are
all
things
that
could
use
much
bigger
budgets
and
I.
F
Like
I
said:
I
have
20
questions,
but
I
will
just
narrow
in
on
the
thing
that
has
been
the
b
in
my
Bonnet
for
the
better
part
of
15
years,
which
is
this
abandonment
of
neighborhood
groups
and
the
fact
that
the
total
amount
of
money
that
we
could
only
agree
on
and
council
members,
Gordon
and
Johnson
and
I
have
been
really
outspoken
about.
This
was
about
you
know,
give
or
take
10
million
in
my
ward.
Neighborhood
groups
are
getting
ten
thousand
dollars.
F
I
wouldn't
do
any
of
the
work
here.
The
city's
asking
me
to
do
for
ten
thousand
dollars
we're
saying
and
if
there's
a
variance,
hear
that
and
if
there's
a
zoning
issue
hear
that
and
if
there's
a
crime
and
safety
issue
deal
with
that
and
the
neighborhood
signs
and
now
Public
Works
has
given
them
all
of
the
traffic
calming
work
to
review.
So
we're
asking
them
to
do
all
of
this
work
and
we're
telling
them
we'll
give
them
ten
thousand
dollars
for
it.
I'm
hearing
they
just
don't
want
to
do
it.
F
Some
of
these
neighborhoods
could
simply
raise
ten
thousand
dollars
and
not
have
to
deal
with
the
audit
of
the
boards.
The
audit
of
City
funds
and
the
paperwork
that's
required
in
order
to
even
get
this
measly
ten
thousand
dollars.
So
my
question
is:
why
are
we
not
using
the
NRP
fund
balance
over
time
to
put
into
giving
direct
support
to
Neighborhood
groups?
And
what
can
we
do
to
get
to
that
point?
And
if
you
could
share
what
the
fund
balance
is
this
program
closed
like
12
years
ago
and
isn't
there
I
don't
know?
F
E
Chairkowski
council
member
Goodman
I
appreciate
the
question
first,
thank
you
for
acknowledging
the
work
of
our
department.
I
know
that's
very
meaningful
to
myself,
but
especially
all
of
our
staff
that
are
doing
the
work
on
a
daily
basis.
I
really
appreciate
that,
regarding
the
fund
balance
I
believe
Stephen
Gallagher.
The
manager
of
the
neighborhood
team
is
hovering
behind
me
to
jump
in
on
this
question,
but
I'll
take
the
first
go
at
it
and
then
ask
him
to
provide
any
more
in-depth
details
on
it.
E
You
mentioned
the
NRP
fund,
balance
and
I
believe
what
you're
referencing
is
the
17
million
dollars
that
that
is
left
in
the
NRP
fund
balance
and
those
were
funds.
Just
so
everyone's
aware.
Those
are
funds
that
came
out
of
the
previous
funding
cycle,
that
was
revenue
generated
through
a
multi-jurisdictional
tax,
increment
Finance
District
that
included
the
City
of
Minneapolis
along
with
Hennepin
County,
our
school
board,
our
Parks
Board
and
I
can
never
remember
the
fifth
entity
and
the
library
board.
E
At
that
point
it
was
a
separate
Library
board,
and
so
all
of
those
government
jurisdictions
agreed
to
take
the
revenue
and
instead
of
bringing
that
back
into
their
budget,
to
creating
a
special
Revenue,
a
special
Revenue
source
to
fund
our
neighborhood
organization
city-wide
and
to
council
member
Goodman's
point
when
that
sunsetted,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
did
decide
to
continue
investing
in
our
neighborhood
organizations
at
the
at
that
point
and
in
this
proposed
budget
at
4.1
million
dollars,
which
was
substantially
less
than
the
original
NRP
fund
Source
was
creating
I.
E
Think
that's
a
good
question
about
what
the
city
is
going
to
do
with
those
funds
and
I.
Think
part
of
the
complication
with
that
is
those
funds
have
been
allocated
to
neighbor
organizations.
Those
neighborhood
organizations
may
not
have
allocated
the
funds
for
any
activities
themselves
or
contracted
those
funds,
so
they
are
indeed
sitting
there
in
the
unspent
unspent
fund.
E
At
this
point,
I
think,
in
order
to
and
I
am
going
to
ask
Stephen
to
jump
up
here
and
provide
clarification,
I
think
in
order
to
make
changes
to
how
those
funds
are
spent
so
to
council,
member
Goodman's,
Point
recapturing
those
funds
and
considering
redistributing
those
funds.
My
understanding
is,
we
actually
would
need
approval
from
those
other
government
jurisdictions.
E
C
A
H
H
So
far
we
have
14
billion
476
000
in
uncontracted,
unspent
funds
and
then
funds
that
have
been
contracted
but
unspent,
so
neighborhoods
have
figured
out
where
they
want
to
spend
these
funds,
but
just
haven't
been
there's
about
11
Point,
six
million
dollars
for
a
total
of
26
million
dollars
in
the
fund
balance,
there's
a
significant
number
there.
H
It
should
be
noted
that
a
lot
of
the
there's,
many
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
any
NRP
funds
remaining
and
there's
some
that
have
a
high
high
amount
and
if
you
look
at
the
neighborhoods
that
have
the
higher
amounts.
Essentially,
those
neighborhoods
are
where
we
would
like
to
invest
the
funds
in
underrepresented
communities
and
and
also
provide
more
assistance
to
those
neighborhoods
through
through
the
department
I
it's
more
complicated
than
us
just
coming
through
and
saying
we
want.
We
would
recommend
allocating
These
funds
back
to
the
program.
H
It
would
need
to
go
through
legal
review,
which
the
city
attorney's
office
has
indicated
that
there's
some
significant
issues
with
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
I
Well,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
care.
I
appreciate
your
presentation
and
I
was
really
surprised.
We're
not
doing
as
much
fund
as
your
department
deserves
on
the
poll
and
I
welcome
the
program.
The
new
program
that
you
presented
here,
welcoming
the
new
immigrant
becoming
a
U.S
citizen.
It's
it's
a
long
process
and
really
the
city
and
City
Department
that
really
taken
the
steps
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
are
accessing
and
have
access
to
best
way
to
citizenship.
So
that
was
that
is
wonderful
thing
to
to
do.
I
I
do
want
to
mention
that
the
neighborhood
organizations
do
a
lot
of
work,
but
I
do
have
about
maybe
six
neighborhood
organizations
in
my
district.
Some
are
really
doing
wonderful,
wonderful
work
and
amazing
engagement
with
the
residents
and
and
the
work
they
do
and
some
are
struggling
with.
You
know
leadership
and
a
way
to
I
wanted
to
ask
you:
what
is
your
oversight
when
it
comes
to
make
sure
neighborhood
aren't
functioning
correctly
and
they
getting
as
much
help
from
the
residents
and
what
is
the
city
oversight
on
that?
I
Making
sure
that
you
know
we
are
funding,
I'm
glad
that
we're
funding
the
neighborhood
in
my
district,
but
what
kind
of
oversight
do
we
have
and
also
the
last
comment?
I
want
to
make
your
steps?
Wonderful,
especially
the
specialist
East
African
specialists
has
been
wonderful
Badoo
and
since
she
came
in
it's
just
has
been
a
lot
of
grateful
to
East
African
neighbors
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
all
your
staff,
especially
foreverdul
on
that.
Thank
you.
E
Council
chair
Caskey,
council
member
azman,
thank
you
for
acknowledging
the
work
of
all
of
our
staff.
I
appreciate
that
and
special
call
outs
regarding
the
question
of
what
type
of
oversight
does
the
city
or
the
NCR
have
on
our
neighborhood
organizations?
E
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
neighborhood
organizations
are
private,
independent,
non-profit
organizations
and
we
respect
their
autonomy,
meaning
that
it
really
is
up
to
them
and
their
individual
boards
to
make
decisions
about
their
organizations
have
their
own
bylaws
that
they,
so
each
organization
has
their
own
set
of
bylaws
that
they
have
to
follow,
and
they.
This
is
one
of
the
beautiful
thing
of
neighborhood
organizations,
they're
structured
in
a
way
that
meet
the
unique
Dynamics
and
culture
of
their
individual,
neighborhood
or
neighborhoods.
E
So
with
that,
there
is
not
really
one
set
that
we
hold
them
accountable
to
in
terms
of
how
they
do
that.
What
we
do
hold
them
accountable
to
is,
do
they
one
and,
first
and
foremost,
have
they
met
all
the
legal
requirements
of
being
a
private,
independent
nonprofit
organization,
and
do
they
have
bylaws
that
are
in
place
and
are
they
themselves
following
their
own
bylaws?
E
But
there
is
that
complexity
is
really
the
beautiful
part
of
neighboring
organizations
that
they
each
get
to
have
their
own
culture
and
bylaws,
in
addition
to
assuring
that
they
meet
all
the
requirements
of
a
non-profit
organization
and
all
of
the
requirements
to
contract
with
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
the
financial,
the
legal
requirements.
We
also
have
programmatic
standards
that
we
hold
them
to
so
looking
at
their
annual
membership
meetings
and
making
sure
that
they're
not
creating
unnecessary
barriers
to
people
participating
and
becoming
members
or
leaders
in
their
organization
that
they
are
being
transparent.
E
With
how
they're
spending
these
dollars
I
would
say,
we're
moving
into
a
little
bit
more
of
trying
to
not
necessarily
have
oversight
but
to
provide
more
capacity.
Building
support
for
some
of
these
organizations
to
make
sure
that
they
themselves
have
the
capacity
to
manage
a
healthy
non-profit
organization.
Right
now,
for
example,
we're
looking
at
offering
a
QuickBooks
training
for
all
of
our
neighborhood
organizations,
just
identifying
that
some
of
these
very
simple
capacity
requirements
these
organizations,
it's
not
that
they
don't
want
them.
It's
just
that.
E
E
I
would
say.
Lastly,
we
have
with
the
NRP
dollars.
Those
are
very
different.
Those
have
state
requirements
and
they're
I
think
are
volumes
and
volumes
of
rules
around
how
to
spend
those
funds
what's
allowable
and
what's
not
allowable.
E
So
we
work
closely
with
the
Department
of
Finance
and
development
and
the
city
attorney's
office
to
assure
that
any
use
of
those
funds
meets
City
standards,
and
so
it's
much
more
of
a
programmatic
oversight
that
we
take
and
the
them
serving
as
a
private,
independent
nonprofit
We
just
require
that
they
submit
the
paperwork
to
us
that
they're
Meeting
those
requirements
that
really
is
up
to
them
and
their
board
to
have
oversight
of
their
organization.
B
This
is
a
perennial
concern
with
these
organizations
and
I
know
in
the
previous
two
three
budgets:
we've
done
kind
of
stop
Gap
measures
to
pull
from
various
funds
in
order
to
do
one-time
funding,
but
I
think
what
we
really
need
is
to
address
this
through
ongoing
funding
in
one
way
or
another
in
the
budget,
I
mean
I,
can't
imagine
any
other
non-profit
frankly
putting
grants
aside
where
there
are
generating
creating
approving
their
budgets
and
then
waiting
for
their
primary
source,
in
many
cases,
the
city
to
pass
our
budget
later
on
and
not
having
that
Surety
and
it
always
being
up
to
the
whims
of
whoever
happens
to
be
in
office
at
a
given
time.
B
It's
a
really
dysfunctional
way
to
operate.
It
certainly
and
understandably
so,
causes
a
lot
of
anxiety,
because
if
you
don't
know
if
money's
coming
through
or
not,
and
even
for
instance,
in
past
years,
when
we've
done
these
top
Gap
measures,
so
do
you
as
an
organization,
do
you
set
your
budget
based
off
of
what
we've
amended
and
provided
in
past
years?
B
Or
do
you
base
your
budget
off
of
what
the
mayor
is
proposing
here
and
that
can
be
a
really
significant
difference
in
terms
of
the
base
funding
and
it
really
affects
performance
and
I've,
seen
the
impacts
of
neighborhoods
who
are
really
operating
at
the
minimum
and
how
it's
hurt
their
ability
to
go
out
and
do
that,
engagement
and
community
and,
more
importantly,
to
provide
services
in
programming
that
really
improves
the
quality
of
life
and
meets
residents
where
they're
at
and
what
their
needs
are
very
specific
to
local
circumstances,
geography
and
and
communities
and
in
demographics
and
so
I
think
it's
really
unfortunate.
B
I
don't
put
that
at
all
on
the
department.
I
look
at
this
body
and
think
you
know
this
is
really
on
us
to
step
up
and
try
to
get
a
permanent
fix
in
here.
It's
it's
amazing.
When
you
have
this
many
organizations,
the
diversity
of
work,
that's
being
accomplished
in
the
amount
of
ways
that
community
members
are
engaging
and
that
frankly,
leaders
are
also
developing
and
growing
within
our
city,
and
so
this
is
a
program
that,
over
the
years
and
decades
is
really
delivered
across
Minneapolis
and
I.
B
Think
we
got
to
be
looking
at
the
funding
piece
as
as
a
more
or
how
do
we
get
there
more
sustainably
sustainably,
moving
forward
so
I
know.
In
past
years
we
looked
at
one-time
funding.
You
know,
that's
certainly
still
an
option
and
something
I'm
very
much
interested
in
exploring,
but
if
we
can
also
identify
ways
to
incorporate
ongoing
funding
or
correct
it
moving
forward
into
the
future
I
think
that
would
be
wise
of
this
body
to
do.
Thank
you.
E
Councilmember
Johnson
thank
you
for
noting
that
I
think
I
think
inherent
in
one.
What
you're
pointing
out
also
is
the
shift
from
the
special
Revenue
fund
onto
the
general
fund.
The
special
Revenue
had
the
ability
to
roll
over
funds
on
an
ongoing
basis.
The
general
fund
is
an
annual
allocation,
so
I
think
councilmember
Johnson
you're.
E
We're
hopeful
that,
at
the
very
least,
the
4.1
million
stays
constant
in
that
so
that
at
least
neighborhood
organizations
can
budget,
anticipating
that
moving
forward
and
there's
some
consistency,
I
think
even
the
idea
of
moving
on
to
a
biennium
budget
might
offer
us
the
opportunity
to
think
about
how
we
can
extend
our
current
annual
contracts
on
the
general
fund
into
an
ongoing
basis
to
provide
a
little
bit
more
planning
ability
for
neighborhood
organizations.
Yeah.
B
Thank
you
and
I'll
just
note
for
colleagues,
especially
my
new
colleagues,
you
know
the
4.1
well,
that
was
a
continuation
of
the
pool
that
was
available
before
neighborhoods
2020..
The
funding
requirements
actually
around
Community
organizations
ultimately
meant
that
the
amount
available
for
neighborhoods
specifically
was
decreased,
I.
B
Think
in
the
what
like
3.1
million
dollar
range,
something
like
that
and
so
neighborhoods
have
had
a
substantial
cut
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
funds
available
and
then,
on
top
of
that,
with
the
base,
funding
and
reallocations
off
of
the
formula
it's,
it
has
had
a
very
significant
effect
on
some
organizations.
Thank
you.
A
J
And
I
would
love
to
probably
get
this
through
Pogo
as
a
follow-up,
but
some
of
the
comments
raised
by
my
colleague,
specifically
Goodman,
councilmember
Goodman
and
councilmember
Johnson
as
it
relates
to
redistribution
of
funds
from
my
understanding
and
this
might
be
overlooked.
Neighborhood
2020
played
a
pivotal
role
in
how
we
re-evaluated
allocations
of
resources
under
the
guise
of
making
sure
that
Equity
was
at
the
Forefront
of
how
our
neighborhood
associations
were
organized
across
the
city.
J
That
process
came
about
also
because
there
was
a
extensive
pattern
in
our
city
where
CERN
neighborhood
groups
have
more
resources
than
others,
especially
in
parts
of
our
cities
that
are
predominantly
black
and
brown
immigrant
and
working
class
and
making
sure
those
neighborhood
associations
that
also
have
been
running
on
shoestring
budgets
for
numbers
of
years.
J
We're
also
able
to
receive
adequate
funding,
so
it
would
be
good
to
know
if
some
of
these
funding
measures
is
also
related
to
the
neighborhood's
2020
process,
and
my
question
is
more
so
related
to
out
of
that
process.
It
seems
like
there
was
a
creation
of
some
very
intentional
funds
to
support
again
Equity
work
to
encourage
neighborhood
groups
to
do
that.
J
Intentional
collaboration,
especially
with
un
under
you,
know,
served
communities,
especially
like
renters,
so
saying,
encourage
which
I
want
to
know
in
in
Minneapolis
and
probably
actually
across
the
U.S
neighborhood
associations
have
the
tendency
of
being
demographically,
more
whites,
more
representative
of
Home
homeowners,
and
there
is
that
disconnect
of
like
the
diversity
that
has
happened
across
you
know
most
Urban
cores.
J
I
would
like
to
see
ongoing
funds
maybe
be
dedicated
to
there,
especially
again,
the
collaboration
fund
I've,
seen
a
lot
of
neighborhood
groups,
use
that
as
an
opportunity
to
partner
with
newer
demographics
in
their
communities,
again
renters
to
say
like
how
are
we
doing
advocacy
for
tenants?
How
are
we
again
doing
some
of
the
work
around
immigrant
services,
so
yeah
would
like
to
know
the
status
of
some
of
those
funds
Council.
E
Chair
Caskey,
council
member
wansley,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Yeah
you,
the
neighborhood
2020,
did
look
at
a
handful
of
the
things
that
you're
referencing
so
and
I.
Don't
want
to
get
too
in
depth
on
it,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
provide
updates
individually
or
at
a
separate
Council
presentation
on
the
update
of
the
neighbor
2020
implementation.
E
But
yes
to
your
point,
when
the
Tiff
District
was
sunsetting,
there
was
kind
of
an
internal
analysis
of
how
the
previous
rounds
of
funding
had
been
spent
and
also
with
the
knowledge
that
we
have
today
of
understanding
how
to
do
better
moving
forward
and
what
came
out
of
that
was
a
the
neighborhoods
2020
program
areas,
including
the
neighborhood
Network
fund,
which
has
been
referenced
earlier
about
the
that's.
A
a
black
fund.
I
would
say
it's
ten
thousand
dollars
per
neighborhood.
Everyone
gets
the
same
amount.
E
E
So
we
have
this
new
funding
formula
with
the
Equitable
engagement
really
designed
to
equitable
distribute
the
funds
through
the
city
from
our
perspective,
as
as
a
City
of
Minneapolis,
and
then
you
reference
the
partnership
funding,
which
is
what
councilmember
Johnson
was
mentioning
that
the
there
was
one
million
put
aside
for
the
partnership
funding
and
again
this
all
really
grew
out
of
a
multi-year
engagement
effort
with
neighborhood
organizations.
E
I
want
to
highlight
to
not
take
money
away
from
neighborhood
organizations.
It
was
really
designed
at
the
core
to
create
these
support.
Healthy
Partnerships
at
the
very
local
level,
understanding
that
there
is
no
one
single
non-profit
that
can
engage
everybody
meaningfully,
that
we
all
bring
different
strengths
to
how
we
engage
folks
and
really
for
the
city
prioritizing.
As
you've
mentioned,
our
renters,
our
communities
of
culture
are
are
lower.
E
No
income
community
members
that
have
the
least
amount
of
access
I
would
also
are
undocumented
community
members
who
have
the
least
amount
of
access
into
our
city
I'm
in
the
least
amount
of
trust
in
the
city.
So
we
really
prioritize
those
communities
and
the
partnership.
Brands
really
is
a
way
to
support
the
partnership
between
neighborhood
organizations
and
those
organizations
at
the
very
local
level.
This
is
a
brand
new
program,
and
do
we
have
learning
from
it?
Yet?
Yes,
we're
in
our
first
year
of
actual
implementation.
E
This
year,
we're
up
to
31
grants
of
750
000
that
were
put
out
to
organizations
next
year
will
be
up
to
1
million.
We
have
learning
internally.
We
continue
to
learn
about
how
to
best
structure
the
RFP
and
really
have
this
be
a
meaningful
experience
for
neighborhood
organizations
and
our
different
Community
organizations,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
learn
from
that.
We
are
more
than
happy
to
come
back,
perhaps
after
a
budget
or
maybe
during
budget.
E
If
you
have
time
to
do
a
full
update
on
where
we're
at
with
the
funding
for
those
programs
and
some
of
the
impacts
that
we're
seeing
already
out
in
community
from
that
funding,.
A
C
F
F
Works
is
asking
neighborhoods
to
manage
their
traffic
calming
process
well.
Why
would
they
do
that?
What's
their
motivation
to
do
that,
if
they
don't
even
have
the
base
funding
and
in
my
word,
they're
all
volunteers,
so
I
just
I'm
wondering
how
we're
going
to
react
to
neighborhoods,
saying
10
000
bucks
that
doesn't
help
us
do
anything.
The
requirements
cost
25
000..
What
what
should
I
advise
them
that
it's
okay
and
then
I
guess.
Lastly,
I
would
say
if
there
are
other
council
members
who
are
interested
in
figuring
out
how
to
fix
this
base.
F
E
Council,
member
Goodman,
I'm
gonna
just
actually
go
back
to
a
slide
and
say
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
the
neighborhoods
2020
work
was
some
of
you
were
here:
councilmember
Goodman.
E
You
were
here
and
I
think
what
council
did
was
very
intentional
by
clearly
stating
and
giving
our
department
the
goal
that
our
city,
not
only
funds
these
neighbor
organizations
but
you'll,
see
the
the
second
goal
statement
is
that
we
have
a
city-wide
network
of
place-based,
Engagement
organizations
known
as
neighborhood
organizations,
so
you've
highlighted
a
a
goal
that
we
have
to
implement,
which
is
assuring
that
each
neighborhood
is
represented
by
a
recognized
neighborhood
organization.
E
My
Hope
Is
that
through
this,
that
we
don't
have
organizations
that
decide
to
step
away
now.
I
will
first
and
foremost
note
that
as
private
independent
nonprofit
organizations
they
have
the
the
right
and
the
ability,
just
as
any,
of
our
non-profit
Partners
do
in
the
city.
If
they
choose
to
not
meet
our
program
requirements
to
not
participate
in
our
program
absolutely,
but
it
it
still
would
leave
us
with
the
hole
that
you
recognize,
which
is.
E
We
have
an
obligation
to
given
the
council
directive
that
to
have
a
city-wide
network
of
neighborhood
organizations,
so
we
would
have
to
work
through
that
I
understand
the
pressure
that
you're
under
in
terms
of
hearing
from
your
neighbor
organizations
about
the
ten
thousand
dollar
allocation
allocation,
I'm,
not
sure
I,
think
the
response
is
a
little
bit
more
complicated.
E
I
would
say
in
the
short
term,
is
NCR
staff
is
available
to
assist
these
organizations
and
what
ways
we
can
to
help
them
understand
how
to
implement
the
funding
that
they
have
and
to
do
work
successfully,
given
the
limited
resources
that
they
have?
The
second
is
I.
Think
one
area
that
we
have
discussed
moving
forward
is
recognizing
that
the
City
of
Minneapolis
continues
to
invest
in
our
organizations
is
what
are
ways
that
we
can
support
other
organizations
or
jurisdictions
for
compensating
our
organizations
for
the
work
that
they're
doing.
E
E
I
would
just
also
note
that
there,
along
with
the
three
program,
areas
that
we
pointed
out
earlier,
the
fourth
that
came
out
of
the
neighborhood
2020
program
is
the
shared
resources
fund
and
I
appreciate
council
members
putting
that
program
in
place
and
funding
it.
That
really
is
designed
to
support
organizations
at
the
very
local
level.
This
pressure
on
resources
for
our
nonprofits
is
being
felt
across
all
of
our
organizations.
E
I
think,
and
certainly
my
history
and
non-profits
has
shown
that
there's
an
interest
at
times
in
figuring
out
what
are
ways
to
more
effectively
do
your
work
and
we
don't
always
fund
the
organizations
for
that
kind
of
internal
review
and
what
city
council
here
did
is
actually
provide
funding
to
or
these
neighborhood
organizations,
if
that
is
something
that
they
are
interested
in
doing
figuring
out
ways
administratively
to
be
more
effective
in
partnering,
with
other
neighborhood
organizations
to
reduce
cost.
Overall,
there
is
funding
available
for
that.
E
K
You
chair
Koski,
thank
you
interim
director,
Mo,
thanks
to
you
and
Stephen
for
a
really
good
meeting
last
week
and
clarifying
lots
of
things
for
myself
and
my
team
around
neighborhood
groups.
My
question
I'm
still
really
confused
about
how
Tiff
funding
is
used.
My
question
is
about
who
is
the
final
decider
on
how
these
neighborhood
groups
gets
to
use
this
money.
E
So
the
NRP
funds,
again
as
I
reference,
were
established
at
the
state
legislature
with
the
agreement
of
five
government
jurisdictions
and
at
that
point
understanding
that
city
council
wasn't
the
only
source
of
of
decision
making
over
that
entity
at
something
called.
The
NRP
policy
board
was
established
that
NRP
policy
board
ultimately
is
the
board
that
has
oversight
of
those
funds
and
the
NRP
policy
board
has
representatives
from
all
five
jurisdictions,
still
yep
all
five
jurisdictions.
E
There
are
representatives
from
your
colleagues
that
participate
in
that
and
when
there
are
questions
about
the
use
of
funds
or
neighborhood
organizations
that
want
to
move
funds
from
one
program
area
into
another,
those
go
before
the
NRP
policy
board,
who
ultimately
have
the
decision-making
authority
over
those
funds,
and
we
anticipate
that
will
continue
as
long
as
there
are
NRP
funds
that
remain.
E
Councilmember
Vita
correct
the
17
million,
plus
an
additional
23
million.
We
did
not
discuss.
That's
part,
it's
that's
been
allocated
by
neighbor
organizations,
but
not
contracted,
so
that
that
has
a
little
bit
more
of
less
flexibility
with
it
but
correct
the
17
million
dollars.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
A
L
Thank
you,
chair,
kosky
and
interim
director
Mo.
You
know,
I
I
just
want
to
just
re-emphasize
the
comments
from
councilmember,
wansley,
I
I
think.
Every
time
we
have
a
discussion
about
equity
in
our
city
and
and
redistributing
funds
to
be
more
Equitable,
then
we
always
come
up
with
this
conversation.
L
Around
equality
and
equality
is
providing
every
organization
with
the
same
resources.
Equity,
however,
recognizes
that
there
have
been
some
inequities
in
the
past
and
how
do
we
redress
those
and-
and
we
didn't
necessarily
just
arbitrarily
decide
this
process?
We
went
out
to
the
Center
for
Urban
and
Regional
Affairs.
They
did
a
study
and
came
back
with
the
the
data
and
the
research
that
showed
that
historically,
the
distribution
of
NRP
funds
had
been
inequitable.
D
L
E
Jerry
Caskey
council
president
Jenkins
I,
appreciate
that
and
I
think
I
would
just
Echo
what
you
said,
which
is
I.
Think
the
previous
city
council
took
their
time
and
it
was
a
long
time
and
then,
including
sending
our
department
back
out,
to
continue
doing
more
work
on
the
neighborhoods
2020
program,
but
where
we
landed
was
an
equitable
distribution
of
those
Resources
with
clear
goals
and
our
Equitable
engagement
program
area
that
is
coupled
with
our
neighborhood
Network
fund
and
together.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
want
to
be
really
clear.
I,
don't
think
anyone
up
here
has
argued
for
a
quality
of
funds
that
they're
equally
distributed,
or
anything
like
that
and
many
times
throughout
this
conversation,
I've
sung
the
Praises
of
amending
the
formula
to
make
it
more
Equitable.
In
fact,
I
was
on
the
work
group
that
led
the
effort
around
that.
B
So
I
want
to
draw
a
clear
distinction,
because
sometimes
honestly,
it
feels
like
we're
getting
gas
lit
up
here
whenever
we
raise
concerns
around
the
fact
that
for
ten
thousand
dollars,
it's
not
reasonable
to
do
all
the
things
that
are
expected
in
that
in
that
requirement
that
we
put
on
neighborhoods
for
that
funding.
The
the
core
concern
here
that
keeps
getting
raised
is
around
the
overall
pool
of
funding
and
increasing
the
pie.
If
we
do
that
through
our
racial
Equity
formula,
that
will
distribute
more
funds
to
communities
that
have
historically
received
less.
B
That
would
not
only
help
help
repair
and
restore
harm,
but
that
would
also
help
address
the
issues
around
the
base,
funding
which
are
truly
an
issue.
You
know
I
I,
truly
can't
imagine
for
ten
thousand
dollars.
Anyone
going
out
and
saying:
okay,
I
am
going
to
deal
with
all
the
financials.
All
the
bylaws
and
compliance
I
am
going
to
go
out
and
engage
thousands
and
thousands
of
residents.
I
am
going
to
host
all
of
these
meetings
and
manage
boards
and
do
elections.
B
B
If
we
want
that,
we
need
to
fund
like
we
mean
it,
and
it's
on
this
body,
not
on
NCR
staff.
It's
on
this
body
for
the
amount
of
pool,
and
that
was
brought
up
this
whole
time.
The
work
of
cura
was
fantastic.
The
work
of
the
staff
was
fantastic.
The
new
formula
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
also
we
cannot
underfund
the
overall
pool,
because
that
has
consequences.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director,
Mo.
Thank
you
for
coming
in
and
presenting
to
us
really
appreciate
the
the
conversation
here
today.
I
just
want
to
correct
one
quick
thing:
this
is
less
directed
towards
you
and
just
a
couple
of
comments.
I
heard
made
earlier
regarding
the
neighborhood
traffic
calming
process.
G
So
you
know
this
is
something
Public.
Works
has
been
working
on
for
a
really
long
time.
They
came
in
actually
earlier
this
year
to
present
in
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee.
I
know,
six
of
us
are
members
of
that,
and,
and
others
are
not,
but
just
to
be
clear.
The
neighborhood
traffic
calming
process
does
not
involve
approval
by
neighborhood
organizations.
G
This
was
included
in
the
initial
draft
of
the
new
neighborhood
traffic
calming
process
where
neighborhood
organizations
would
have
a
role
in
filtering
down
those
requests
and
and
ultimately
have
a
lot
more
decision-making
power
on
which
requests
were
were
ultimately
considered
by
the
city.
That
is
no
longer
the
case,
because
the
overwhelming
feedback
that
Public
Works
received
from
neighborhood
organizations
was
no.
We
don't
want
to
have
a
role
in
this.
That
was
the
right
call
by
the
way,
but
to
be
clear.
G
Neighborhood
organizations
do
not
have
a
role
in
approving
traffic
calming
applications
that
is
done
by
our
professional
staff,
and
so
there
isn't
an
additional
burden,
that's
placed
on
on
neighborhood
organizations
and
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
clear
on
that,
including
lots
of
neighborhood
organizations.
That
watch
along
for
this
presentation
and
perhaps
might
receive
the
wrong
or
might
receive
incorrect
information
wanted
to
correct
that.
A
All
right,
we
have
finished
up
our
q.
A
I
have
learned
that
next
year
we
will
give
you
an
hour
and
we
haven't
even
gotten.
E
A
A
All
right,
our
second
presentation
today
is
from
Public
Works
I've,
scheduled
an
hour
for
this
presentation
and
Q
a
so
I
now
invite
director
Margaret
Anderson
Kelleher
to
give
that
presentation.
Welcome
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
patience.
As
we
finished
up
our
first
presentation,
I'm
grateful
for
your
flexibility
and
patience
so.
M
Well,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
good
morning,
still
glad
to
be
with
all
of
you
always
an
opportunity
to
learn,
and
so
that's
what
I
was
doing
out
in
the
hallway
learning
a
lot
more.
M
So
today
we
are
going
to
present
our
mayor
recommendations
for
both
general
fund
and
a
number
of
the
internal
service
funds.
So,
let's
see
oh
you're,
doing
it.
Okay,
great
thanks
thanks
Brett.
First,
our
department
overview.
M
So
this
is
our
our
high
level
overview.
We
have
nine
divisions.
We
are
at
a
little
under
a
thousand
ftes
right
at
the
moment
and
we
can
move
on
to
the
program.
Staffing
summary.
So
this
is
what
the
budget
recommendation
looks
like.
You
can
see
here
that
the
23
24
budget
has
some
slight
growth
in
it.
M
I
would
tell
you
that
that
slight
growth
is
really
focused
on
bringing
back
services
to
a
service
level
before
the
pandemic,
and
that's
been
the
major
focus
of
the
mayor's
recommendations
this
year
and
I
will
note
where
those
are
as
well
as
where
a
couple
other
items
are
at
so
It's
always
important
to
look
at
how
many
vacancies
do
we
have
in
public
works
we're
at
about
14
percent
that
is
slightly
higher
than
we
usually
are
for
vacancies,
and
one
of
the
things
that
happens
in
public
works
is
that
many
folks
start
in
like
a
service
level,
one
worker
and
then
they
get
promoted
and
often
promoted
inside
public
works,
and
so
this
this
can
create
a
little
bit
of
the
Gap
in
some
of
these
areas.
M
We
are
excited,
though,
that
people
find
a
career
in
public
works,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
major
things
that
we
are
working
on.
We
are
right
now
in
the
hiring
process
for
20
people.
We
had
a
very
large
spring
hire
of
45
Public
Service
workers,
a
public
works
service
workers,
and
then
we
also
have
some
funding
for
interns,
temporary
and
seasonal
positions
about
10
folks.
M
So
we're
going
to
keep
moving
here
because
it
is
a
big
area
with
nine
different
divisions,
so
the
Public
Works
Administration,
that
is
led
by
deputy
director
Brett
jelly
and
deputy
director
Brian
Dodds
and
myself
I,
do
want
to
say
right
now,
A
big,
thank
you
to
our
finance
manager.
Vicki
troswick,
where's
Vicki
over
here
Vicky,
is
key
to
helping
us
make
this
presentation
today
and
to
keep
us
running
smoothly
all
year
long.
So
I
really
want
to
say
thanks
to
her.
M
So
here
you
can
see
that
we
really
have
in
our
mission
in
the
administration
side
of
this.
The
work
around
employee
safety,
best
practices
OSHA
as
well
as
HR,
and
this
is
important
to
us.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
working
with
each
division
to
increase
our
number
of
bipac
and
female
applicants.
Public
Works
is
an
area
where
both
bypoc
people
and
people
who
identify
as
female
are
underrepresented
still
today.
So
we
can
move
forward.
M
The
transportation,
planning,
design
and
Engineering
area
really
encompasses
a
couple
of
areas
that
you
are
all
familiar
with,
so
you
are
often
familiar
with
Transportation
Planning
and
programming,
Jenny
hager's
division
as
well
as
Ted
transportation,
engineering
and
design,
and
that's
Don,
Elwood's
area
and
I
think
that
they're
in
the
room
well,
Don
is
in
the
room
right
now,
and
so
here
you
can
see
that
we,
we
have
a
number
of
things.
This
is
where
we
also
have
the
transportation
engineering
design,
Capital
staff
that
they
build.
M
Our
Capital
programs-
and
this
is
really
the
whole
area-
is
about
the
transportation
system,
both
addressing
climate
issues
as
well
as
how
we
move
reaching
the
vision,
zero
goals.
These
two
areas
are
so
important
in
in
that
way,
I
think
to
put
a
finer
point
on
it.
Looking
at
fatal
crashes
in
Minneapolis,
the
goal
of
vision,
zero
is
to
have
zero
fatal
crashes
for
all
users,
pedestrians,
folks,
riding
a
bicycle
as
well
as
people
driving
in
a
vehicle,
and
so
we
have
work
to
do
here.
But
we're
excited
about
this
work.
M
M
M
We
collaborate
a
lot
with
other
City
departments
on
this
outside
agencies,
agencies
like
Hennepin
County
MnDOT,
to
be
able
to
make
make
all
of
these
things
happen,
and
we
really
pride
ourselves
in
trying
to
deliver
that
Speedy
service
around
things
like
pothole,
repair
and
snow
and
ice,
and
you
are
going
to
see
the
change
item
here.
This
is
one
of
our
change
items.
M
This
allows
us
to
really
be
able
to
add
back
in
and
restore
our
full-time
equivalents
for
General
benefits
in
both
the
summer
and
the
winter
and
I
want
to
tell
you
what
exactly
that
means.
So
in
the
summer
it
will
help
us
be
able
to
deliver
on
our
seal
coating
goals,
and
we've
talked
to
many
of
you.
The
folks
on
pwi
are
well
aware
of
this,
that
we
have
a
goal
to
seal
coat,
our
streets
every
10
to
12
years
and
then
at
the
30-year
Mark.
M
We
also
know
that
in
the
snow
area
we
have
only
been
able
recently
to
clear
alleys
when
there's
a
when
there's
a
declared
snow
snow
emergency.
This
money
would
help
us,
in
the
winter,
be
able
to
rent
more
equipment
to
contract
with
some
others
as
well
and
to
be
able
to
clear
those
alleys
on
a
more
regular
basis.
This
is
an
important
livability
issue
for
residents
to
be
able
to
have
a
clear
alley.
M
We
never
want
to
see
those
alleys
look
like
a
Grand
Canyon
type
situation,
and
this
is
an
important
piece
of
making
sure
that
travel
can
happen
and
then
those
ends
of
the
alleys
are
clear
as
well
all
right,
Transportation
operations
and
Mobility
also
the
traffic
area.
So
many
of
you
know,
Alan
Klugman
has
been
the
interim
director
working
in
this
area,
so
this
is
all
the
traffic
and
parking
divisions.
This
is
not.
Enforcement
I
got
to
hear
the
director
of
regulatory
Services
presentation
yesterday
and
she
was
talking
about
the
enforcement
side.
M
This
is
really
the
installation
of
things
like
parking
meters
parking
zones
working
with
residents.
It
also
has
a
few
other
areas
in
it:
Bridge
inspection,
the
right-of-way
office,
special
assessments
and
utility
connections,
and
so
there
are
some
change
items
in
this
area
and
we're
going
to
get
to
those
in
just
a
moment:
I
think
okay
and
the
mobility
hubs
as
well.
M
So
our
one
of
our
larger
change
items
is
actually
a
capital
item
and
I
know.
This
is
a
area
of
great
interest
for
many
council
members
and
for
a
lot
of
residents,
and
that
is
the
area
of
Street
lighting,
and
so
here
we
have
and
I
know.
This
map
is
just
it's
busy,
but
if
you
focus
in
on
the
blue
and
the
little
bit
of
pink
area,
I'm
going
to
explain
what
these
are
so,
first
of
all
again
Capital
dollars,
we
have
in
the
Blue
Area
these
areas.
M
M
They
had
water
dam
damage,
freeze,
thaw
cycles
and
they
do
not
work
anymore,
and
so
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
in
these
areas.
In
2023,
Stephen
square
and
Loring
Heights,
we
would
be
replacing
75
lights
in
area
2
in
2023,
Loring,
Park,
Stevens,
Square,
Loring,
Heights,
123
lights,
that's
198,
total
replacements,
2023.
M
2024.
We
we
need
to
ramp
up
to
this
work
and
be
able
to
deliver
on
it.
Area
3
is
Como.
100
lights
would
be
fully
replaced.
That
means
every
part
of
the
system
area:
four
Saint
Anthony
West
and
Saint
Anthony
East
33
lights
area,
5,
St,
Anthony,
White,
Saint,
Anthony,
West,
another
24
lights,
the
near
North
Hall,
Park
area,
40
lights
area.
7
is
Marcy
homes
that
has
about
74
lights
to
it
and
area
8.
The
near
North,
Bethune
Park
area
has
51
lights.
M
That
would
be
a
total
of
322
lights
in
2024,
so
that
is
overall
520
direct
Berry
systems
totally
replaced
with
this
funding.
The
also
we
have
some
the
pink
area.
Pink
shaded
area
is
the
Marcy
homes
university
area.
That
area
is
actually
above
ground
replacement,
so
not
quite
as
extensive
and
there
that's
163
lights.
So
this
is
important
to
Residents
and
I
just
want
to
emphasize.
This
is
probably
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we've
been
hearing
about.
M
I
know
that
many
of
you
have
an
interest
in
it
and
we
really
want
to
be
able
to
deliver
on
this
on
behalf
of
our
residents
in
the
city
all
right.
We
also
have
another
change
item
and
that's
contractual
services,
and
that's
being
that
is
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
First
of
all,
we
have
some
inflationary
costs
out
there
with
street
lights,
signals
and
sign
materials.
We
also
have
another
portion
of
that
that
is
pole,
painting
repairing
signs
Bollard
replacing
where
we
have
bollards
on
the
street
and
Street
Market
Mark
markings.
M
So
we
would
be
able,
with
this
change
item,
to
hire
two
electricians:
one
engineering
Tech,
two
one
engineering,
Tech
three
and
a
maintenance
crew
leader
this.
This
is
still
an
area
that
has
some
pressure
on
it
because
of
inflation
because
of
the
cost
of
electricity
going
up,
but
we
do
believe
that
we
could
deliver
on
all
of
these
items
with
this
change
item.
M
The
next
area
is
our
EV
work,
so
pardon
me
so
here,
Minneapolis
and
St
Paul
are
working
together
and
working
together
to
support
public
EV
charging.
This
is
really
important
because
we
need
to
make
sure,
as
we
are
doing
things
like
having
electric
car
share,
that
there
is
a
good
charging
Network
out
there
and
fast
Chargers
as
well.
So
this
is,
this
is
going
to
provide
us
with
the
resources
to
do
a
few
things.
First
of
all
prepare
and
document
the
EV
plan.
M
So
now
we're
going
to
move
to
the
utilities
and
internal
service
funds
that
are
under
public
works,
so
first
we'll
start
with
potable
water.
Our
director
Annika
Bankston,
is
here
today,
Annika
is
over
here,
and
so
this
budget
item
includes
water
treatment
and
distribution
for
the
entire
system.
It
includes
the
increase
of
1.5
FTE
in
this
budget,
and
I
just
have
to
pause
here
and
say
I.
Think
in
the
news
we
have
seen
how
critical
it
is
to
continue
to
invest
in
both
the
capital
and
the
people
of
this
area.
M
I
do
want
to
mention
we
actually
had
and
I
don't
know
if
our
employee
is
still
there,
but
we
had
an
employee
who
is
in
Jackson
Mississippi
from
this
division,
helping
them
get
their
system
back
up
and
running
through
the
Federal
Emergency
Management
System,
so
sanitary
sewer
and
director
Angie
Kraft
is
here
and
this
of
course
many
of
you
have
heard
about
big
capital
projects
here,
but
this
is
also
a
critical
area
for
us.
M
In
terms
of
being
able
to
avoid
those
sanitary
backups
and
actually
meet
or
exceed
our
federal
state
and
local
regulatory
requirements
and
then
replace
the
ongoing
infrastructure
issues
that
we
have
God
and
storm
water,
which
is
also
under
director,
craft
and
I,
think
council,
member
chug
Tai
might
recognize
this
location
from
earlier
in
the
week.
This
is
the
brand
new
segment
of
Franklin
that
was
opened
and
what
you're
seeing
on
the
slide
is
an
important
part
of
storm
water
management.
M
It's
a
really
I
think,
what's
cool
about
this
area
is
they're
going
through
an
iterative
process
to
to
work
on
how
to
collect
storm
water
and
management
in
a
way
that
is
greener,
that
is
better,
and
so
those
little
placement
of
the
pavers
and
the
rocks
help
catch
things,
but
it
gets
the
water
to
run
off
and
then
water,
this
area
of
green
infrastructure.
We
are
doing
more
of
that
in
the
system,
and
this
is
a
great
team.
M
Who's
been
working
on
it,
so
this
is
really
an
area
where
we
need
to
staff
up
a
bit.
23
would
be
four
ftes
two
in
storm
water,
one
in
sanitary,
one
in
capital
planning
and
then
in
24,
4,
ftes
out
of
the
storm
water
fund,
okay,
Solid,
Waste
and
Recycling.
Many
of
you
know
the
director
Dave
herberholtz.
M
So
first
of
all,
there's
been
some
worker
comp
increases
in
this
area
as
well
as
we
are
looking
to
help
help
our
city
be
the
cleanest
city
in
America.
So
don't
don't
switch
yet
I
just
want
to
talk
about
you're,
seeing
a
tick
tock
video
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
can
I
ask
chair
how
many
people
have
seen
The
Tick
Tock
video,
this
Tick
Tock
video?
D
M
Today,
this
team
is
super
creative
about
what
they're
doing
and
this
Organics
Tick
Tock
video
has
had
over
over
now
20
000
people
love
it
and
over
almost
2500
shares
so
being
creative.
With
the
resources
we
have
to
educate
the
public
about
Organics
is
really
been
great
for
the
growth
of
the
program
and
helping
divert
that
organic
matter
out
of
the
waste
stream
and
go
to
composting
okay.
M
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
want
to
do
in
our
budget
next
year
is
work
on
work
further
on
the
clean
city
concept
and
making
Minneapolis
the
cleanest
city
in
the
country.
Austin
Texas
has
a
program
like
this.
There
are
a
few
others,
but
many
of
you
know
that
if
you
are
not
in
a
single
family
residence
or
if
you're
in
a
residence
that
has
more
than
four
units
in
it,
you
do
not
pay
into
our
system
of
being
able
to
get
your
trash
collected.
M
We
can
then
really
work
on
things
like
zero
waste
activities.
We
can
work
even
more
on
illegal
dumping
issues
that
have
actually
grown
again
recently
and
so
Waste
Services
for
City
events
even
being
able
to
do
that.
This.
This
study
will
help
us
bring
back
to
you.
The
policy
makers,
options
and
ideas
for
getting
that
done.
M
I
just
want
to
cover
the
utility
fees.
There
is
in
this
budget
proposal,
the
two-year
budget
proposal
a
very
slight
overall
increase
in
utility
fees.
It's
would
be
4.1
percent
or
four
dollars
and
58
cents.
That
would
happen
over
all
of
the
utilities,
water,
sanitary
sewer,
storm
water
and
Solid,
Waste
and
Recycling,
and
we
could
talk
more
about
that.
M
There
were
losses
to
the
sanitary
sewer
Revenue
due
to
covid
that
we
are
still
recovering
from,
and
we
are
on
a
path
to
recover
from
that,
but
it
does
mean
lost
revenue
and
therefore
we
do
need
to
keep
these
funds
whole.
Overall
Fleet
operations
is
our
final
area
Division
and
we
have
a
new
director
there.
Chris
Royston
Chris
is
watching
online
Chris.
M
Oh
Chris
is
in
the
room,
hi
Chris
nice
to
see
you
all
right.
Director
Royston
has
joined
us
from
the
Metropolitan
Council.
We
are
delighted
to
have
him.
He
has
expertise
in
both
having
worked
for
XL,
Energy
and
then
many
years
at
the
Met
Council
and
so
very
excited
to
have
him
on
the
team.
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
we
actually
run
the
fleet
we
purchased
the
fleet.
We
maintain
the
fleet
for
most
of
the
city.
The
exception
is
actually
Dave's
area
of
garbage
trucks.
M
We
let
the
they
do,
self-manage
their
purchases
and
maintenance
of
those.
But
this
includes
everything
in
terms
of
from
fire
trucks
to
police
cars,
to
the
public
works
vehicles
and
the
regulatory
Services
vehicles
and
Beyond.
So
right
now
we
are
are
experiencing
fuel
price
increases,
no
surprise
based
on
what
everyone
feels
and
sees
out
there,
and
so
we've
had
a
little
under
a
million
dollars
higher
in
fuel
costs.
We
also
are
working
hard.
M
We
we
can't
make
that
supply
chain
move
faster
right
now,
but
we
do
have
aggressive
plans
for
replacing
these
vehicles
to
become
electric
vehicles.
The
I
believe
the
first
order
for
an
electric
fire,
mostly
electric
fire
truck,
was
placed
by
fire
through
us,
and
so
there
are
some
really
good
developments
here.
M
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
our
best,
and
so
things
like
the
reduce
idling
policy
of
the
city
has
been
important
both
from
a
public
health
standpoint,
as
well
as
from
a
saving
money
standpoint,
and
we
will
continue
to
push
the
hardest
on
this
area
of
electrification
as
the
supply
chain
opens
up
and
we
can
get
vehicles
in
here.
That
is
the
end
of
my
presentation,
Madam,
chair
and
happy
to
take
questions.
A
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
director,
Anderson
first
I
want
to
start
by
just
acknowledging
Alan
Klugman
in
a
heartfelt
thank
you
for
your
work
on
that
Washington
Avenue,
North,
pedestrian
Safety
project.
It's
very
proud,
I
was
very
proud
yesterday
at
the
community
meeting,
when
our
organization
was
very
well
prepared,
as
opposed
to
the
other
agency
that
we're
working
with.
So
thank
you,
a
very
quick
question:
Margaret.
What
should
I
tell
the
neighbors
whose
street
lights
are
out
and
they're
not
scheduled
to
be
fixed
until
23
or
24.
M
So
Madam
chair
and
council,
member
rainville,
so
you're
speaking
to
an
area
that
has
a
total
outage,
then
correct.
M
And
that
I
think
you
know
we
need
to
work
together
to
see
if
there's
any
short-term
options
available,
that
for
the
public
in
those
areas
to
be
able
to
get
them
lit
up
again.
But
the
the
challenge
is
no
replacement
of
bulb,
will
do
it
and
so
I
don't
know
if
Alan
I
I
think
that
we
need
to
work
together
with
you
for
that
period
of
time,
where
we
are
in
between
now
and
total
fixture
replacement,
total
system
replacement.
M
N
B
You,
madam
chair
and
I,
really
appreciate
the
presentation.
I
thought
very
well
done.
My
question
might
be
more
for
Miss
Bankston.
It's
on
the
portable
water
slide.
I
know
that
we
have
priority
around
Fire,
Safety
Systems,
so
fire
hydrants
and
flow
capacity
with
the
re-linings.
Where
are
we
at
with
that
like
how
much
more
is
left?
B
When
are
we
going
to
get
through
that
so
that
all
the
fire
hydrants
are
able
to
flow,
and
also
then
open
up
some
of
that
capacity
for
more
of
the
water
quality
issues
that
we're
seeing
I
know
that
that
was
also
in
study,
so
I
guess
kind
of
where's.
The
study
at
too
in
that
regard.
O
Madam,
chair,
councilmember
Johnson.
Thank
you
so,
as
you
alluded
to
just
a
little
more
background,
so
we've
been
testing
the
fire
hydrants
throughout
this
the
Minneapolis
system
to
analyze
the
flow
rate
that
comes
out
of
them,
and
that
is
a
way
for
us
to
assess
the
condition
of
the
distribution
water
mains
that
Supply
those
hydrants.
So
we
made
it
through
another,
probably
25
percent
of
the
city
this
summer.
O
So,
looking
forward
to
more
questions
about
that
on
Thursday,
but
that's
part
of
our
ramping
up
the
overall
Capital
program
for
water
distribution,
improvements
to
hopefully
get
to
about
right
now,
we're
averaging
around
eight
miles
of
water
in
the
main
line
per
year,
we're
hoping
to
ramp
that
up
to
15
to
20
miles
line
per
year.
O
B
And
just
a
follow-up
or
clarification
on
that,
so
that's
really
helpful
information,
I
guess
at
so.
We
still
have
20
remaining
on
the
study
at
the
current
rate
and
kind
of
what
you're
forecasting
in
terms
of
what
we
might
expect
to
find
there
approximately.
How
many
miles
are
do
we
expect
still
to
go
just
to
knock
out
and
take
care
of
all
the
fire,
hydrant
related
issues
and
flow
issues?
We.
J
Thank
you,
chair,
Koski
director.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
a
couple
Investments
around.
Is
this
Transportation
operation?
No,
no!
That's
not
it
improving
roads
and
Trails,
especially
building
upon
the
study
session
that
we
just
had
around
snow
and
ice
removal.
I'm
really
excited
about
the
presentation.
You'll
be
bringing
back
to
pwi
around
ways.
J
We
can
support
efforts
around
making
sure
our
streets
are
safer,
especially
during
the
Arctic
Jungle
of
winter
that
all
of
us
have
to
endure,
but
one
question
that
I
had
was
related
around
lighting
I.
Think
during
arpa
we
saw
this
was
a
major
priority
for
this
body
and
really
excited
to
see
some
intentional
Investments
be
poured
into
this
I'm.
More
so
interested
though,
and
it
kind
of
piggybacks
to
council
member
rainville's
question
around
what
was
the
process
for
determining
the
allocation
of
Lights?
I
will
note,
you
know
the
university
area.
J
Como
there's
been
a
lot
of
course.
Justifiable
concerns
from
parents,
I
mean
students
around
Lighting
in
that
area
and
just
would
like
to
know,
know
kind
of
yes.
What
was
the
thought
process
for
rolling
out?
You
know
light
allocations
in
2023
and
2023
I
mean
2024
in
those
designated
areas.
M
So
Madam
chair,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
council,
member
wansley,
so
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
do
just
a
little
bit
on
arpa
because
you
all
did
and
the
mayor
recommended
and
approved
1.3
million
dollars
of
the
arpa
dollars
to
both
convert
city-wide
lights,
to
LEDs,
to
work
on
the
backlog
where
lighting
was
just
out,
but
the
system
didn't
have
to
be
totally
replaced,
as
well
as
doing
a
little
bit
of
that
work
in
Lorraine,
Heights,
Steven
square
area
for
the
pre-work.
That
needs
to
be
done.
M
M
We
cannot
really
get
ahead
on
lighting
until
we
replace
these
systems.
This
is
just
sort
of
like
a
gigantic
Boulder
in
the
middle
of
the
road
for
our
system.
If
we
don't
replace
these,
we
can
never
get
to
the
you
know,
500
and
some
lights
that
are
completely
out.
I.
Think
that,
on
the
university
area,
you
know
many
of
on
the
east
side
of
this
slide.
There
are
many
neighborhoods
in
the
university
area
that
will
be
touched
by
this
or
directly
impacted
and
with
the
purple
and
the
pink
pink
red.
M
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Have
so
many
questions
in
your
department
and
but
I'm
limited
to
ask
one
question.
I
will
just
say
thank
you
for
highlighting
the
lights.
I
I
talked
about
Stephen,
Square
being
dark,
and
now
it's
a
priority
to
you
and
I
appreciate
that,
but
there's
so
many
other
areas
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
that
are
dark
that
are
neighborhood
in
my
district
that
are
very
dark
and
we
just
have
to
find
a
way
to
survey
these
neighborhood
and
clearly
be
the
city.
Services
has
to
be
fair
to
our
community.
I
say
that
so
many
times
improving
streets
that
are
that
are
dealing
with
encampments
that
are
dealing
with
so
many
other
challenges.
I
You
know
there
are
some
areas
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
that
are
clean
and
there
are
some
areas
that
are
very
trashy,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
really
as
a
department
as
a
city.
We
are
paying
attention
to
those
and
not
just
going
by
our
addition,
normal
schedule
of
pick
up
trashes
but
other
places
that
need
the
trash,
pickup
and
also
the
I
would
say
graffiti
has
been
a
problem
in
in
my
neighborhood,
especially
on
Franklin.
I
Businesses
are
contacting
us
and
highlighting
that
hey
we're
doing
our
part,
we're
cleaning
our
areas,
but
we
have
city-owned
polls
or
areas
that
have
been
graffiti
for
a
long
time.
So
what
are
you
doing
on
addressing
some
of
these
areas?
This
neighborhood
that
need
more
additional,
are?
I
Are
you
putting
more
work
towards
that,
or
are
you
just
going
by
what
three
one
one
or
what
you
know
what's
reported,
or
are
we
really
putting
our
attention
more
to
poor
neighborhood
that
they
need
additional
support.
M
So
Madam,
chair,
councilmember,
Osman
I
think
that
I
will
start
at
kind
of
the
most
basic
level,
and
that
is
there
I
think
there's
not
a
week
that
goes
by
where
there
is
not
a
call
for
additional,
particularly
trash
removal
services
in
the
city
on
the
public,
right-of-way
or
in
a
publicly
owned
space,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we
take
very
seriously
and
try
to
correct
within
a
very
short
period
of
time
about
that
24
to
48
hour
cycle,
sometimes
even
faster.
M
It
really
kind
of
can
depend
on
the
the
crew
level
and
The
Shift
level
at
the
time
the
call
comes
in.
But
that
is
something
that
we
take
very
seriously.
The
graffiti
issue
is
something
that
I
think
I'm
I'm
gonna,
two
things
one
is
the
city
can
remove
graffiti
on
city
property,
and
one
of
the
things
you
see
in
this
proposal
is
this
green
City
proposal.
We
already
have
a
clean,
City
crew
that
Dave
oversees
that
kind
of
can
come
out
and
do
things
in
a
quick
way.
M
But
frankly,
we
do
not
have
enough
resources
to
properly
attack
the
level
of
trash
and
graffiti
that
we're
seeing
right
now
and
illegal
dumping
on
public
lands
and
so
being
able
to
have
that
study
and
come
back
to
you
with
policy
and
funding
proposals
and
to
the
mayor
is
going
to
be
very,
very
important
to
solving
the
long-term
problem.
I
think
education
is
key
here,
I
mean
we
do
get
calls
from
time
to
time
about
private
businesses
that
have
graffiti
on
them
and
you
identified
it
properly.
Councilmember
Osmond,
the
city
does
not
remove
that
graffiti.
M
That
has
to
be
the
business
owner's
responsibility
and
so
trying
to
work
with
those
business
owners
to
provide
them
resources,
whether
it's,
the
graffiti
removal
paint,
whether
it's
things
that
are
available
to
do
that.
But
I
think
we
have
both
a
very
basic
level
problem
and
that
is
removing
trash,
illegal
dumping
and
things
that
are
happening
on
the
street
right
now
and
then
really
getting
to
that
vision
of
the
cleanest
city
in
America.
By
working
on
this
clean
City
study
and
fee.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
wansley
is
up
next,
then
we
have
Vita
and
then
Payne
so
customer
monthly.
J
Thank
you
kind
of
a
follow-up
question
to
lighting.
As
you
have
the
visual
component
here.
I
know,
that's
something
that
our
residents
have
also
where
my
constituents
have
asked
about
like
if
there
was
any
way
to
have
a
public
interfacing
dashboard
where
they
can
also
work
with
3-1-1s.
Maybe
you
know
map
out
where
these
lights
are.
Like
you
see
here
so
I
wanted
to
see.
J
You
know
if
there's
ever
been
a
fiscal
analysis
or
or
synopsis
of
how
much
a
public
or
lighting
public
dashboard
could
actually
cost
so
that
we
can
have
that
transparency
and
also
support
the
constituent
service
aspect
of
I.
Think
the
Public
Works.
You
know
the
infrastructure
that
I
think
we
all
care
about.
M
So
Madam,
chair
and
council,
member
wansley
I
think
more
ways
of
sharing
the
information
that
we
have
is
a
really
great
idea.
I
think
that
one
way
that
can
be
done
is
through
3-1-1,
with
and
I
believe
that
you
can
actually
on
3-1-1
as
a
resident.
M
I
I
happen
to
be
a
frequent
user
of
the
app
and
when
I'm
frequently
using
the
app
I
get
notified
when
other
people
are
reporting
things
in
the
areas
I've
reported,
so
that
can
be
just
about
anywhere
in
the
city,
and
it
also
allows
you
to
take
a
look
at
what
those
reports
are
I
think
we
could
work
with
that
data
to
see
if
it's
easily
understandable
and
then
also
make
sure
that
we're
working
as
these
particularly
large
areas
of
total
replacement
are
happening,
that
people
can
see
that
dashboard.
They
can
understand.
M
K
Thank
you,
chair
Koski,
and
thank
you
director,
Anderson
Calder,
for
the
presentation,
councilmember
Osman
kind
of
asks.
Some
of
my
question,
but
I
first
want
to
say
I'm
excited
about
us
being
the
cleanest
city
in
the
country.
It
would
be
even
more
exciting
if
you
added
the
brightest,
cleanest
city
in
the
country.
All
these
lights
really
need
to
be
fixed,
that
that
would
be
awesome
in
line
with
us.
You
know
having
that
goal
of
being
the
cleanest
city.
K
Graffiti
is
a
really
big
thing
in
my
neighborhood
in
particular,
and
I'm,
just
wondering
if
Public
Works
has
ever
thought
about
partnering
with
local
artists
A
lot
of
times
when
you
do
go
out
and
clean
up
the
graffiti,
it
gets
tagged
again
almost
immediately
because
of
the
paint
that
we
use.
You
know
we
just
give
them
a
brand
new
clean
surface
to
put
new
art
on
so
I'm
just
wondering
in
this,
but
this
budget
I
know
we
have
a
study
but
like
how
do
we
do
that?
K
How
can
we
fix
it
so
that
you
partner
with
local
artists
or
local
young
people,
so
that
we
can
get
murals
or
something?
You
know
that
is
about
the
neighborhood
on
these
spaces,
where
we
know
will
be
constantly
tagged
if
we
continue
to
clean.
M
Them
so
Madam,
chair
and
council
member
Vita
I,
like
your
expansion
of
lighting
into
that
you
know
you,
you
and
I
have
talked
a
lot
about
this
program
of
get
lit,
Minneapolis,
which
I
think
is
a
clever
and
catchy
way
to
talk
about
lighting.
I.
Think
that
with
the
Clean
City
study,
we
definitely
can
look
at
Best
Practices
about
how
to
keep
that.
You
know
tagging
graffiti
down
and
really
engage
I
mean
we
are
a
very
artistic
Community.
M
As
we
all
know,
we
have
lots
of
people
who
I
think
could
provide
leadership
and
lots
of
organizations
juxta
others
who
could
help
us
be
able
to
make
something
into
something
visually.
You
know
pleasing,
but
also
culturally
relevant
for
communities.
I.
K
Agree
and
I
also
just
think
you
know,
with
some
of
the
businesses
who
it's
not
our
responsibility
to
clean,
but
as
a
city,
if
we
had
this
service
to
offer
to
them,
that
would
give
them
some
ease
too,
because
their
experience
in
what
we
do
when
they
clean
it
up.
Someone
just
comes
and
re-text.
So
maybe
we
create
a
portfolio
of
artists
and
give
that
to
the
business
owners
and
say
hey.
This
is
who
you
can
reach
out
to
to
get
this
fixed
once
and
for.
M
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
director,
Anderson
Kelleher
I
was
curious.
If
you
could
speak
to
some
of
the
criteria
or
decision
making
around
Contracting
Services
versus
managing
them
in-house
and
you
know,
is
it
a
capacity
issue?
Is
it
a
seasonality?
Is
it
a
Specialty,
Service
I'm
just
curious
about
how
we
weigh
those
decisions.
M
So,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
councilmember
Payne.
I
would
say
that
you
know
it
is
interesting
because
my
my
past
experience
at
MnDOT
that
MnDOT
was
largely
a
contracted
service
out
for
the
building,
construction
and
and
largely
maintenance
of
the
roadways
in
the
state
and
other
things
here
in
the
city,
we're
much
more
of
a
blended
model,
the
folks
that
are
working
for
Joe
powman.
M
You
know
they're
out
there
plowing
the
streets
in
the
winter,
but
they're
doing
street
reconstructions,
they're,
doing
seal
coding,
so
I
think
when
it
comes
down
to
it
really
gets
to.
How
much
can
we
deliver
in
one
season
and
where
do
we
have
then
a
employment
gap
or
a
skills
Gap?
And
that's
when
we
get
into
you
know
Contracting
with
folks
who
either
have
particularly
more
folks
they
can
work
with
or
a
particular
skill
set
that
we
don't
have
in-house
to
be
able
to
utilize.
D
A
follow-up,
if
I
may
do
you
have
either
a
philosophy
or
goal
as
it
relates
to
in-house
versus
Contracting.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director.
It's
two
respond,
namely
to
the
neighbors,
are
blacked
out
with
their
street
lighting.
Is
that
a
a
capacity
issue?
Do
you
need
more
funding?
Is
it
more
staff?
How
can
we
again
be
more
Nimble
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
these
neighborhoods
that
are
in
the
dark,
so.
M
Madam,
chair
and
councilmember
rainville
I
think
you
know.
The
first
thing
is
what
you
did
do
through
the
federal
funding,
the
arpa
funding
to
be
able
to
help
us
start
to
attack
the
backlog
of
the
easy,
the
the
low-hanging
fruit,
which
is
the
replacement
of
bulbs,
or
maybe
one
small
piece,
I-
think
that
when
we're
talking
about
those
neighborhoods
who
the
blue
and
pink
neighborhood
I
think
Brett's
gonna
throw
it
back
up
here.
So
we
can
look
at
it.
M
You
know
that
that
issue
is
really
what
we're
talking
about
here
in
the
capital
budget,
because
we
need
the
money
to
do
it.
There
there's
no
way
we
can
fix
this
problem
without
the
resources
to
go
in
there
and
totally
replace
these
systems.
So
you
know
I
want
to
get
that
backlog
of
lighting
down
to
a
what
I
would
eventually
and
I
don't
know
what
the
date
of
this
is.
A
F
You
director,
Kelleher
I've,
been
getting
tons
of
reports
of
Lights
being
fixed,
so
I
wanted
to
say
that
publicly
that
it's
clear
that
work
is
happening
because
just
this
week,
I
had
two
different
constituents
around,
like
the
Isles
and
in
the
24th
Street
area
say
that
their
lights
were
fixed
and
there
were
six
of
them,
so
it
wasn't
insignificant
and
that's
also
the
park
boards
property
that
we've
taken
responsibility
for
making
sure
those
lights
are
fixed,
so
I
the
backlog
is
working
because
you're,
where
I'm
getting
more
and
more
reports
about
it.
F
My
question
has
to
do
with
the
neighborhoods
and
the
individuals
who
paid
for
street
light
replacement
and
now
we're
coming
through
and
saying
to
others.
You
don't
have
to
pay
for
it
like
councilman,
rainville
and
I
have
talked
about
this
somewhat
unfair.
To
say
the
university
should
get
all
sorts
of
lights
that
they
don't
have
to
pay
for
when
in
neighborhoods
in
my
ward,
they
wanted
pedestrian
lights
and
they
got
assessed
for
it.
F
I'm
wondering
how
your
department
views
that,
because
I
don't
know
how
I
would
sell
to
my
neighborhood
Bryn
Mawr,
let's
put
in
pedestrian
level
lights
and
do
the
petition
process
to
get
everyone
to
do
it.
While
at
the
University
we're
saying,
go
ahead
and
put
in
three
million
dollars
worth
of
lights
and
the
property
owners
are
not
being
assessed.
M
So
Madam
chair,
councilmember
Goodman
I
mean
first
of
all.
Let's
be
clear.
No
one
is
putting
three
million
dollars
worth
of
Lights
in
the
university
and
not
assessing
someone
right
now.
The
university
did
a
study
it
could
cost
between
1.8
and
north
of
2
million
dollars
for
a
new
lighting
system
that
you
know,
I
think
we're
in
negotiation
with
the
university
about
what
that
looks.
M
Like
the
lighting
policy
needs,
an
update,
and
so
I'd
first
say
that
to
everyone
here
and
I
know:
council,
member
Osmond
knows
this
very,
very
well
that
when
the
Stephen
Square
Loring
Heights
neighborhood,
when
we
went
out
with
the
required
petition
to
be
able
to
have
the
assessment
done
less
than
10
percent,
less
than
10
percent
came
back
as
a
yes,
we're
not
going
to
make
progress
unless
we
update
this
policy,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
as
a
department.
M
We
want
to
bring
forward
a
new
policy
to
you.
Policy
makers-
and
you
know,
I-
think
that,
looking
at
something
around
25
assessment,
maybe
what
we
are
looking
at,
but
we
will
be
bringing
that
forward,
and
the
important
part
of
this
I
think
that
this
is
hard.
I
mean
it's
always
hard.
When
there's
a
change,
it's
a
little
like
it
made
me
think
of
student
loan
debt
relief.
You
know,
folks,
who
say
I
paid
for
it.
I
paid
off
my
loans.
Why
this
I
think
with
lighting?
M
A
Okay,
I
am
not
seeing
any
further
questions
from
my
colleagues.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
being
here
welcome
to
the
city
I.
Thank
you,
there's,
obviously,
there's
so
much
that
you
do
I
wrote
this
little
quote
down
here.
The
base
of
having
a
city
is
public
works.
So
on
that
note,
thank.
A
P
Our
department
mission
is
the
mission
of
the
newly
named
racial
Equity.
Inclusion
and
belonging
department
will
be
to
promote
racial
Justice,
Equity
inclusion
throughout
the
city
and
Minneapolis
the
City
of
Minneapolis
through
policy
development,
culture
building
and
Community
engagement.
P
So
last
time
you
saw
me,
my
team
did
not
look
like
this,
so
it
has
expanded.
We
have
added
two
truth:
the
reconciliation
program
managers
and
administrative
analysts,
who
is
a
transfer
from
the
coordinator's
office,
A
administrative
assistant
and
a
senior
advisor
to
human
trafficking
and
exploitation.
P
P
P
P
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
much
for
your
presentation,
we'll
now
move
on
to
our
question
and
answer
time.
I
see
we
have
council
member
wansley
first
in
queue,
and
then
we
have
President
Jenkins.
J
Thank
you,
director,
green
I
just
had
a
question
about
this
40
000
anti-racist
curriculum
I
shared
this
in
the
the
comments
that
I
made
about
government
restructure
last
week
that
my
office
has
been
contacted
by
labor
groups
about
their
particular
concerns
about
this
training
and
even
have
proposed
exempting
our
employees
about
the
from
partaking
in
this
training.
P
I
believe
chair,
Caskey,
councilmember,
Wesley
I
believe
that
the
money
for
HR
is
for
some
type
of
di
programming
that
they're
going
to
do
what
I'm
doing
is
anti-racism
training
and
anti-racism
work
and
anti-racism
policy
creation.
So
it's
it's
a
little
different,
so
I
think
that
HR
still
has
that
money
for
for
their
Dei
stuff.
As
far
as
what
this
trading
will
do,
we
are
looking
to
make
sure
that
all
employees
of
the
Enterprise
have
some
basic
and
grounding
understanding
of
what
anti-racism
is.
We
all
have
a
shared
language
shared
understanding.
P
So
when
situations
arise,
they
can't
say,
there's
not
one
employee
is
going
to
be
able
to
say
I
didn't
know
that
I
was
being
racist.
Oh
I
didn't
know
that
that
was
racist
or
I
didn't
know
that
that
was
biased.
I
didn't
know
that
was
discriminating.
They
won't
be
able
to
say
that,
because
they're
being
provided
with
the
information
and
the
tools
to
know
that
so
4
500
employees
is
what
we're
trying
to
to
train
and
we
have
allocated
forty
thousand
dollars.
Your
question
was:
is
that
enough
money?
P
No,
it's
not,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
I.
Don't
I
never
want
money
to
be
the
deciding
factor
of
how
I
move
forward
in
any
of
my
work,
so
we
have
to
be
a
really
creative,
incredibly
creative,
of
how
we're
going
to
do
this.
My
assistant
right
now,
Vanessa
bonabo,
is
working
on
how
we're
going
to
put
forth
the
training
for
4
500
people
with
forty
thousand
dollars.
A
All
right
next,
we
have
council
president
Jenkins.
L
P
L
P
That's
how
I
that's,
how
I
understood
it?
Sorry,
Council
chair,
Caskey,
council,
president
Jenkins,
that's
how
I
understood
it
so
when
I
came
in
I
was
told
you
can
hire
four
people,
but
also
there
were
some
other
things
that
were
happening
at
that
time.
That
allowed
me
to
hire
more
than
four
one
example
is
the
truth
or
reconciliation
managers.
They
are
paid
for
with
the
Opera
dollars,
so
they
don't
count
in
this
number.
P
So
there
are
some
people
that
I
have
on
my
team
that
have
not
counted
towards
this
number
that
the
people
who
came
from
the
coordinator's
office.
They
don't
count
towards
this
number
either
as
far
as
I
understand,
so
it
will
be
eight
full-time,
regular
employees
in
the
reib.
As
far
as
I
understand
it.
P
Not
12.,
if
you
include
like
the
the
10,
the
two
from
coordinator's
Office,
the
two
from
the
truth
of
reconciliation,
which
is
Arbor
dollars.
D
L
Yeah,
that's
it
for
now.
Thank
you.
A
K
You
chair,
Koski,
hello,
director,
green
I,
just
have
a
question
about
the
the
Strategic
racial
Equity
action
plan.
Are
you
saying
that
that
is
a
full-time
staff
person
who
is
going
to
oversee
that
work
and
is
that
an
ongoing
position.
P
Yes,
so
this
person
will
be
working
on
esri,
the
Rio
and
the
equity
report
that
by
my
staff,
is
now
creating
with
collaboration
with
OPI.
So
this
person
will
be
that
ongoing
support
so
that
we
can
start
getting
Rios
that
are-
and
this
is
not
a
disc
to
anyone
else
that
are
properly
done.
Maria
should
read
like
a
a
literature
review
and
most
reads
that
are
submitted.
Do
not
read
that
way,
so
this
person,
whoever
they
are,
will
help
other
department
heads
make
sure
that
they're
submitting
their
risks
in
a
proper
way.
K
Thing
or
always
ongoing,
it's
ongoing
okay.
So
this
is
just
the
ask
for
this
budget
and
you
will
hire
this
person
and
this
person
will
be
one
of
the
ftes
in
your
department.
Absolutely.
P
And
this
person,
so
the
budget
is
for
2023
to
just
get
that
person
onboarded
and
hired,
and
then
the
2024
and
2025
you
see
a
little
step
increase
I,
think
that
is
accounting
for
the
step
increase
that
that
person
would
acquire
from
being
an
employee.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
to
Dr
Green.
Building
on
this
reap
conversation.
You
know,
one
of
my
hopes
is
the
outcome
of
sweep
is
to
have
some
sort
of
programmatic
dollars
invested.
Are
you
envisioning
those
coming
from
the
Departments
that
are,
you
know
the
subject
matter
that
a
sweep
goal
might
be
around
or
do
you
envision
having
to
come
back
and
making
requests
for
program
dollars
in
the
future.
P
Chairkowski
councilmember
Payne
I,
I
Envision,
coming
back
to
council
and
asking
for
more
funding
for
any
programs
related
to
esri
because
they
don't
think
it's
not
fair,
but
I
I
think
it
will
be
a
harder
battle
to
go
to
department,
heads
and
ask
hey.
Can
you
give
me
forty
thousand
here
twenty
thousand
there
ten
thousand
here
to
make
sure
s
Reap
is
successful.
P
Chairkowski
councilmember
Payne
I
would
say
that
that
is
totally
I.
It
will
be
the
purview
of
of
the
city
council
to
to
do
that.
L
P
Chairkowski
council
president
Jenkins,
your
the
answers
to
both
of
those
questions
is
yes,
so
the
S
reap,
as
it
sits
now,
I
believe
it
was
mostly
held
by
OPI
and
with
Jonathan
Jonathan
was
like
the
leader
trying
to
get
everybody
involved
in
esri
planning,
so
this
person
will
not
replace
Jonathan
but
basically
take
over
and
try
to
guide
the
work
in
a
very
different
way.
Coming
up
with
different
problem
statements,
helping
those
those
leaders
figure
out
what
problem
areas
their
teams
will
attack
and
making
sure
that
they're
racially
just
racially
Equitable.
P
One
of
the
things
that
I
noticed
in
looking
at
the
S
read
presentations
was
most
of
a
lot
of
people
came
to
this
diocese
and
they
had
their
s
reap
goals
as
green
racism
is
still
here,
so
nobody
should
be
agreeing
ever
until
we
eliminate
that.
So
that
was
one
of
the
problems
that
I
saw
and
I
hope
that
the
way
that
we
guide
this
program
moving
forward
that
will
be
able
to
actually
address
racism
in
all
areas.
L
Okay,
yeah
I
mean
just
for
clarity:
the
division
at
the
time
the
vision
of
race
and
Equity
was
in
charge
of
the
Strategic
racial
Equity
action
plan
and
subsequently
that
that
team
left
and
somehow
OPI
subsequently
Jonathan
as
you
named,
was,
was
bringing
that
forward.
But
it
was
always
intended
to
be
and
it
began
as
an
effort
of
the
division
of
race
and
equity
and.
L
L
I
think
it
was
determined
people
are
we
working
on
making
progress,
yeah,
I
think
you're
right.
Racism
has
not
been
overcome
to
this
point.
P
Chairkowski,
council,
president
Jenkins,
you
are
right
if
we
do
hold
that
as
a
measure,
it
is
insurmountable
and
it
will
outlive
us
all
and
I
think
that
what
is
more
important
is
that
we
are
dropping
those
seats
so
that
other
Generations
can
carry
on
in
this
fight
towards
racial
justice.
But
we
can't
lower
the
bar
just
so
that
we
can
see
measures
of
progress.
We
have
to
keep
that
bar
as
high
as
it
possibly
can
be
so
that
someday
we
can
actually
reach
it.
P
P
Think
that
the
journey
is
more
important
than
a
destination
in,
in
that
case
like,
if
you
take
one
step
and
you
still
have
ten
thousand
more
to
go,
you
haven't
really
made
that
much
progress.
But
if
you
take
one
step
and
you
and
you
understand,
you
have
ten
thousand
more
to
go,
even
though,
if
even
if
you
only
make
it
to
the
5
000
Mark,
and
somebody
else
has
to
pick
up
that
mantle
and
take
it
the
rest
of
the
five
thousand.
That's
progress.
L
The
manaco
debate
on
this
dice,
but
thank
you,
director,
Greene.
J
Speaking
of
s,
rape
I
do
want
to
know
I've
been
in
conversations
with
both
council
member
Chavez
and
I
also
believe
our
clerk
specifically
Casey
Carl,
and
also
have
Luke
council
president
in
on
this
conversation
around.
We
know
s
reap.
That
was
something
that
we
reviewed
very
early
in
our
tenure
and
I
can
say.
J
Probably
most
most
of
us
was
not
fully
attentive
to
what
was
going
on
during
that
presentation
that
Jonathan
actually
delivered
and
we're
already
at
a
mark
where
that
our
current
S3
plan
is
up
for
expiration
by
the
end
of
this
year,
and
we
do
as
a
body
have
a
choice
in
front
of
us
to
have
to
either
renew
it
or
let
it
expire
and
I.
Think
that
also
couples.
J
If
we
decide
to
renew
it,
what
council,
member
Payne
raised
of,
how
are
we
actually
going
to
allocate
dollars
to
implement
that
as
well?
So
I
do
want
to
know
like
that
is
also
should
be
happening
in
in
the
immediate,
like
couple
weeks
where
this
body
will,
hopefully,
through
the
race
and
Equity
Committee
of
Cal,
get
a
chance
to
renew
this
commitment
to
our
S3
priorities.
To
reevaluate
it
and
again
keep
that
bar
High
I
think
again
from
early
on
I.
J
Don't
even
think
no
one
understands
what
that
bar
is
maybe
outside
of
council
member
Jenkins,
since
you
were
here,
but
I
can
honestly
say
most
folks
during
that
orientation
was
looking
very
glassy-eyed
and
it's
time
for
us
to
like
refocus
on
what
those
S3
priorities
are,
especially
in
knowing
that
racism
is
inherently
and
continues
to
be
a
problem
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
its
Enterprise
and
outside
of
this,
these
walls
as
well
so
I'm
really
excited
for
that.
Maybe
the
staff
member
I
think
is
charisma.
J
Who's
been
championing
that
in
racing
Equity
I'm
really
excited
for
her
presentation,
maybe
Jonathan's
as
well,
for
us
to
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
renew
that
and
strengthen
that
work
in
2023.
That's
the
most
immediate
commitment
that
we
can
make
right
now.
I'm
still
super
excited
about
that.
J
P
Chairkowski
councilmember
wansley.
Yes,
thank
you.
I
know
that
we
are
slated
to
give
some
presentation.
We've
been
working
with
Council
president's
office
to
get
that
on
the
agenda
about
extending
s
reap
and
yes
and
I
see
it.
Jonathan
has
just
walked
into
the
room.
He
must
have
knew.
We
were
talking
about
so
yeah.
We're
definitely
planning
to
do
that
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
get
that
extended,
and
then
we
will
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
actually
make
a
difference
here.
Thank.
A
You
all
right,
I
am
not
seeing
any
further
questions
from
my
colleagues.
So
thank
you
so
much
director
green
for
being
here
and
I
appreciate
all
of
the
efforts
that
you
put
in
to
help
us
understand
and
I
look
forward
to
the
work
that
you
continue
to
do
so.
Thank.
J
It
is
funny
that
our
OPI
staff
just
walked
in
and
just
getting
this
presentation
from
race
and
Equity.
Now
that
you're
a
department
I,
was
actually
interested
in
knowing
as
a
budget
chair.
How
are
we
approaching
OPI
now
that
they're
a
department
when
they
presented
in
front
of
us
they
were
still
a
division.
We've
now
passed
government
restructuring
as
we're
moving
into
the
mark
of
phase
it'll,
be
good
to
know
how
we're
going
to
either
have
them
present.
I.
J
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
wansley
I
was
just
asked
about
this
late
last
night
and
then
came
into
work
had
a
chance
to
call
the
director
Smith,
but
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
connect
yet
so
hope
to
be
able
to
do
that
soon.
Here
and
shortly.
J
A
Great
all
right,
thank
you
so
much
director
green
I
appreciate
you
being
here,
and
so
you
know
further
discussion
at
this
point.
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
the
presentation.
I
just
want
to
recognize,
though,
that
council
president
Jenkins
Council
vice
president
palmisano
councilmember,
wansley,
councilmember,
Ellison
customer
checked
I
did
join
us
here
too.
So
our
next
budget
committee
meeting
is
scheduled
for
Thursday
October
27th
at
10
A.M.
A
These
will
be
our
final
presentations
before
we
head
into
the
public
hearings
and
markup
at
Thursday's
meeting
we
will
hear
presentations
related
to
the
park
board,
the
capital
budget
and
the
the
assessing
Department,
with
that
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee
date.
Without
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
