A
I
will
place
myself
on
stack.
I
see
counselor
member
chavez
and
then
I
will
be
on
stack
as
well.
E
Thank
you,
chair,
onesie
warlord.
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
number
18..
I
just
had
a
quick
question.
I
do
know
it
is
a
legal
settlement,
so
we
may
not
be
able
to
get
into
much
details,
but
I
just
want
to
figure
out
if
this
was
in
relation
to
the
lawsuit
from
attorney
general
keith
ellison,
which
I
believe
he
won
over
the
landlord
and
just
want
to
get
a
little
bit
more
clarification
on
this.
F
Thank
you,
chair
wansley,
worleba,
councilmember
chavez,
and
I
I
would
be
happy
to
speak
with
you
in
greater
detail
about
this,
but
no
this
this
this
does
not.
This
is
mr
meldah
exercises
his
right
to
appeal
various
assessments
on
his
rental
properties
on
an
annual
basis
and
as
long
as
I've
been
in
the
office.
This
is
something
that
he
does
on
each
year
and
in
this
case,
because
these
are
so
fact
dependent
each
and
every
one
there
was
one
that
was
the
reference.
F
250
assessment
was
incorrectly,
it
was
assessed
for
work
that
had
had
been
done,
pre
already
and
then
there's
a
an
additional
portion
of
the
proposed
settlement
that
involves
a
property.
That's
on
the
vacant
building
registration
list
in
which
he
is
seeking
to
rehab
that
and
the
settlement
provides
a
little
more
pressure
so
to
speak
in
terms
of
the
assessment
of
the
vbr
fee
and
and
his
right
to
appeal
that
as
we
go
forward,
should
he
not
meet
the
deadline
to
rehabilitate
the
property.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
chavez.
I
also
put
myself
on
stack.
I
had
comments
for
two
items
which
I
won't
be
voting
in
favor
of
today.
I
also
want
to
note
that
you
know
the
information
that
I'm
about
to
discuss
is
public.
I
literally
did
a
google
search
and
this
information
came
up,
but
I
will
be
voting
no
on
item
21,
specifically
because
in
2017
there
was
actually
a
star
tribune
article
about
downtown
nightlife.
A
Where
officer
johnson
told
a
reporter
that
quotation
marks
here,
he
said
you
know
he
sometimes
feel
like
he
spends
the
better
part
of
the
night
macing
people
and
it's
a
good
night
when
I
don't
have
to
mase
anybody.
So
you
know
there
was
already.
I
would
see
in
this
case
some
continuous
usage
of
aggressive.
You
know
utilization
of
chemical
weapons
that
are
now
theoretically
banned,
and
it
is
also
part
of
a
tactic
to
you
know
not
continuing
to
escalate
incidents
when
our
enforcement
personnel
are
engaging
with
constituents.
A
Also,
on
item
number
23,
I
want
to
raise.
You
know
in
2016
again
this
is
all
searchable
on
our
great
internet
in
2016
officer
river
was
the
supervisor
for
well
of
officer,
christopher
writer,
who
kicked
the
somali
man
in
the
face,
breaking
his
nose
and
giving
him
a
traumatic
brain
injury,
and
then
ryder
went
to
kick
another
person
in
the
head
the
following
year.
That
victim
is
mr
osmond,
who
sued
the
city
for
four
million
dollars.
Not
only
was
you
know,
officer
rider
named
in
this
incident.
A
The
the
report
also
says
that
you
know
they
failed
to
to
train
writer
on
the
use
of
appropriate
force
in
arresting
suspects
and
for
being
persistently
and
deliberately
indifferent
towards
the
civil
rights
violations
by
his
police
officers.
So
again,
noting
this
record
of
enforcements
that
personnel
that
has
engaged
in
misconduct
and
has
also
placed
the
city,
enterprise
and
financial
liability-
and
you
know
us
now
having
to
deal
with
that
through
paying
out
millions
of
dollars
in
taxpayers
dollars.
A
You
know,
I,
I
think
we
should
be
absolutely
doing
something
different
around
this
in
addressing
the
roots
of
these
misconducts
in
the
loan
calls.
So,
for
those
reasons
I
won't
be
supporting
those
two
items
outside
of
that,
is
there
any
additional
discussion.
A
A
You
got
a
couple
right:
okay,
so
we're
gonna.
Do
a
roll
call.
Is
there
specific
items
that
you
would
like
to
do
it
for
so
items
one
through
eighteen?
Prior
till
we
get
to
legal
settlement?
Oh.
D
B
Okay,
council,
member
vito.
C
D
B
Okay,
so
we
have
two
eyes
on
our
assuming.
We
have
two
eyes
on
nineteen
through
twenty
two
and
two
nails
on
19-22
and
we
have
four
eyes
on
23.
B
23
carries
19-22,
do
not.
A
G
H
Yeah,
madam
chair,
since
those
two
items
did
not
get
approved,
I
would
a
new
motion
would
be
in
order
at
this
point,
such
as
a
motion
to
send
forward
without
recommendation
or
to
deny.
A
Okay,
I
see
councilmember
vital,
would
like
to
make
a
motion.
C
D
D
A
Emotion
cares
all
right
so
now
we're
at
the
portion
where
we
have
discussion.
We
have
three
items
for
our
discussion.
The
first
will
be
a
discussion
item
receiving
and
fouling
the
report
of
the
2022
local
board
of
appeal
and
equalization
and
the
passage
of
a
resolution
approving
the
assessed
valuations
with
that
said,
I
now
invite
our
city
assessor,
rebecca
monquist.
Please
correct
me
once
you
reach
the
podium,
I'm
pretty
sure
I
just
butchered
your
name,
my
apologies
about
that,
but
please
feel
free
to
start
your
presentation.
G
G
G
For
this
year's
local
board,
we
follow
the
same
or
similar
procedures
and
processes
that
we
used
for
both
the
2020
and
2021
local
boards,
as
they
were
virtual
as
well.
Interestingly,
the
local
boards
in
2020
were
some
of
the
first
meetings
to
go
virtual
and
it
was
also
one
of
the
last
to
remain
virtual.
This
year,
we
work
very
closely
with
the
city
clerk
team,
as
we
develop.
Agendas
prepare
scripts
on
board
the
board
members
and
satisfy
all
of
the
very
many
statutory
required
aspects
of
the
local
board.
G
This
was
the
timeline
leading
up
to
and
during
the
local
board
on
march
10th,
the
local
board
was
established,
the
policies
and
procedures
were
approved
and
three
board
members
were
approved
and
appointed
to
serve.
We
mailed
the
2022
notices,
evaluation
and
classification
on
approximately
march
18th,
a
fourth
board
member,
was
appointed
on
april
15th.
G
G
While
we
still
receive
paper
applications,
the
primary
tool
for
collecting
applications
is
our
online
application.
This
is
the
fourth
year
leveraging
this
technology.
It
provides
the
opportunity
not
just
only
for
property
owners,
to
submit
an
appeal
online
as
well
as
attach
all
their
supporting
information,
but
from
an
administrative
perspective,
allows
us.
Real-Time
reporting
on
case
counts
and
board
status.
G
Moving
into
some
board
statistics,
there
were
over
1
500
valuation
increase
inquiries
received
by
our
team.
That's
just
up
from
just
over
1
000.
Last
year,
approximately
40
percent
of
those
were
resolved
by
staff
before
an
actual
appeal
was
received
or
required,
and
the
other
60
did
complete
an
appeal
application.
G
Breaking
these
counts
down.
Even
further
of
the
890
appeals
we
received
just
over
25
percent
were
resolved
by
the
team
10
days
or
more
before
the
board
convened
and
did
not
require
board
action.
State
statute
dictates
that
an
appeal
resolved
10
days
or
less
prior
to
the
convene
of
the
board
does
require
formal
board.
Action
of
the
remaining
646
appeals
that
required
board
action.
G
This
is
a
diagram
of
the
workflow
and
the
case
counts.
So
again
we
see
we
mail
out
125
000
value
notices.
Each
year
we
received
1,
500
inquiries,
or
so
resulting
in
890.
Formal
appeals
of
those
on
the
left.
244
were
resolved
by
staff
10
days
before
or
more.
There
were
407
that
were
concurred
with
staff
10
days
or
less
before
the
board
and
239
were
appeals,
heard
and
acted
on
by
the
board
and
then
on.
The
far
right
illustrates
those
334
recommendations
from
cedar
aisle
cone
condominiums
that
I
mentioned
previously.
G
It
is
a
look
at
how
many
formal
appeals
we
received
versus
quantifying
the
work
for
staff
and
the
board,
as
you
will
see
in
the
other
slides.
The
appeal
count
is
up
from
last
year,
but
we
were
definitely
expecting
that
this
slide
breaks
down
the
appeal
count
by
the
major
property
types
groupings
being
residential
with
the
most
number
of
appeals,
as
we
would
expect.
However,
we
still
did
have
160
appeals
that
were
commercial,
industrial
or
apartment.
These
are
much
more
complex
appeals.
G
G
This
is
an
illustration
of
both
the
total
estimated
market
value
appealed
by
ward,
as
well
as
the
case
count
by
ward.
The
green
bars
represent
the
market
value
and
the
blue
line
represents
the
case
count.
You
can
see
here
that
ward
7,
followed
by
ward
13
had
the
highest
case
count.
However,
ward
7
and
wards
10
had
the
greatest
value
appealed.
G
G
G
G
The
next
step
in
the
appeal
process,
if
a
property
owner
does
not
agree
with
the
board,
is
to
appeal
to
the
hennepin
county
board
of
equalization.
These
hearings
will
go
back
in
person
in
june
and
we'll
talk
more
about
that
in
a
moment
and
as
of
last
week,
midweek.
My
statistics
are
a
little
delayed
here.
There
were
36
minneapolis
cases
registered
for
the
county.
Our
appraisal
team
continues
to
work
on
these.
They
do
not
move
over
to
the
county
appraisal
staff.
G
G
Again,
the
next
step
is
the
county
board
and
they
convene
on
june
13th.
The
contact
information
is
here.
In
addition,
another
appeal
application
process
is
that
all
property
owners
can
always
appeal
to
the
minnesota
state
tax
court,
and
so
the
valuation
or
the
deadline
for
the
january,
2nd
2022
valuation
deadline
is
actually
not
until
april
of
2023.
G
A
To
make
sure
I
pronounce
it
right,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation.
I
want
to
open
up.
You
know
the
period
for
discussion.
I
see
council
member
vita.
C
Thank
you,
chair
weinsley.
Thank
you
for
this
presentation.
This
has
been
a
big
deal
in
ward,
4.,
lots
of
facebook
tags
for
me
on
these,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
information
you've
shared
today.
It
gives
me
a
lot
to
work
with
when
talking
with
people
about
the
process
and
the
timeline.
So
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
I
also
appreciate
your
willingness
to
teach
me
offline.
C
You
know
this
is
very
new
to
me
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
explain
to
people
how
this
process
work,
why
it's
important
and
what
they
can
do,
because
most
most
people,
you
know
they
reached
out
about,
of
course,
how
much
money
they
have
to
pay.
You
know
it
being
raised
the
the
amount
of
money
for
their
taxes
being
raised,
and
I
just
think
it's
important
for
people
to
understand
like
how
this
process
works.
C
Why
that
dollar
amount
is
that
dollar
amount
and
to
have
an
opportunity
to
appeal
if
they
don't
think
it's
right,
because
there
were
quite
a
few
people
who
said
what?
How
did
this
happen?
I
just
bought
my
house
for
this
amount.
How
can
it
be
assessed
at
this?
You
know
amount,
so
thank
you
again
for
your
willingness
to
teach
me,
so
I
can
teach
the
people
of
war
for
about
this
process.
Thank
you.
G
A
A
All
right:
well,
let's
take
up
the
motion
to
move
this
resolution
forward.
If
we
can
call
a
roll
on
the
votes,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
aye,.
A
Which?
Oh
the
resolution
for
the
the
appeals.
A
A
We
have
our
staff
member
here
interim
director
of
our
city,
coordinator's
office,
heather,
johnson
and
additional
staff-
to
provide
a
brief
presentation
on
this
item.
So
thank
you
both
I'll
leave
it
up
to
you
now.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
members,
dan
mcconnell,
I'm
not
actually
staff,
I'm
co-chair
of
the
city's
labor
management
committee,
a
role
I
recently
took
on
about
three
months
ago,
so
bear
with
me
I'm
new
at
this
as
well
so
proud
of
that
or
actually
in
addition
to
that,
I'm
a
the
business
manager
for
the
minneapolis
building
construction,
trades
council
and
a
resident
award
too.
I
So
we've
heard
over
the
last
several
months,
concerns
from
city
employees
around
their
safety
out
and
about
working
through
the
city
and
there's
been
some
unfortunate
events
that
have
been
publicized
that
we
don't
want
to
get
into
necessarily
all
the
details
on.
But
we
brought
forward
this
resolution
through
the
lmc
committee
over
a
couple
months
of
work,
drafting
and
coming
up
with
the
language.
That's
before
you
and
really
ask
on
behalf
of
the
city's
employees
that
they
hear
strongly
from
their
employer
that
their
safety
is
important
to
their.
J
Thank
you,
as
mr
mcconnell
said.
What
brought
us
here
today
is
that
the
increase
in
the
number
of
violent
incidents
being
experienced
by
our
staff,
particularly
with
public
works
and
traffic
control
we
have,
as
mr
mcconnell
said,
we've
been
working
over
the
past
few
months,
really
to
find
a
way
to
acknowledge
what
is
happening
to
our
employees
and
to
make
sure
that
they're
getting
the
support
that
they
need.
J
J
Instead,
we
decided
to
make
some
changes
to
the
resolution
to
talk
really
more
specifically
about
the
joint
responsibility
between
the
community
and
our
employees.
Traffic
control
is
one
of
the
most
diverse
teams
in
our
city
and
they
are
being
subjected
to
increasing
amounts
of
violence.
We
want
that
to
stop.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
employees
feel
safe
in
the
field
and
in
the
workplace.
This
resolution
is
their
first
step
to
its
first
attempt
to
do
better
for
our
employees
and
to
work
more
collaboratively
with
our
labor
partners.
J
To
do
so,
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
both
rebuild
trust
with
our
employees,
as
well
as
with
our
community,
and
we
want
to
acknowledge
the
mutual,
the
responsibility
and
the
mutual
safety
that
responsible
for
mutual
safety
that
we
have
we
want
to.
As
I
said,
this
is
the
first
step
in
that
process,
and
we
thank
you
and
for
your
support
and
letting
employees
know
how
much
we
appreciate
the
work
that
they
do
during
these
difficult
times.
Thank
you.
A
C
C
This
year
we
had
someone
come
plow
in
the
streets
and
was
caught
in
the
middle
of
gunfire
we've
had
I
mean
we
get
the
emails
as
council
members,
at
least
I
do,
and,
and
I
know
what
people
are
faced
with
and
the
fact
that
they
show
up
every
day
and
still
do
that
job
knowing
that
they're
putting
their
selves,
possibly
at
risk.
The
least
that
I
can
do
as
a
council
member
is
acknowledge
that
I
care
about
what
happens
with
them
as
an
employee
of
the
city.
C
So
I
appreciate
whoever
thought
that
this
was
a
good
idea,
thanks
for
being
thoughtful
like
sometimes
you
just
need
to
feel
acknowledged
as
a
person,
a
lot
of
our
work
as
council
members
or
as
staff
for
huge
enterprises
like
the
city.
It
goes
unnoticed,
it's
a
selfless
job.
You
you
just
show
up
every
day
and
no
one
says
thank
you,
and
so
I
personally
want
to
thank
every
single
city,
employee.
I
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
whoever
decided
we
should
acknowledge
our
staff
in
this
way.
C
So,
thank
you
all
so
very
much
and
thank
you
to
our
labor
partners,
who
are
making
sure
that
their
workers
are
being
represented
strongly
that
they're
being
acknowledged
they're
out
there
every
day
putting
themselves
at
risk,
and
I
appreciate
that
I
appreciate
the
partnership
dan
and
I
also
appreciate
that
these
people
keep
showing
up.
Thank
you
all
so
so
so
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
vita.
I
have
my
stuff
on
stack
and
then
I
see
you're.
Turning
there
we
go
costume.
You
gotta
be
quick,
we're
capturing
these,
so
you
know
I'll
also
be
supporting
this
resolution,
but
I
also
have
a
couple
comments
about
it.
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
just
being
sober
about
the
moment
that
we're
in
that
you
know
many
of
our
employees
here
will
only
be
safe
when
the
public
perceives
them
as
servants
of
a
community
who
are
trustworthy
and
that
are
not
acting
with
violence
and
racial
bias.
A
As
what
was
indicated
in
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
report,
I
I
know
that
many
of
us
are
here
committed
to
working
towards
re
building
that
public
trust
with
the
enterprise
when
it
comes
to
all
of
the
departments
in
which
we
have
oversight
over.
As
you
know,
within
our
legislative
authority,
which
unfortunately
does
not
include
mpd,
we
know
that's
in
the
mayor's
jurisdiction,
but
also
knowing
again
the
so
the
the
elephant
in
the
room
is.
A
We
have
a
dysfunctional
department
within
mpd
that
is
largely
contributing
to
the
illegitimacy
of
many
of
the
great
work
that
many
of
our
other
city
departments
are
doing
in
our
community.
And
you
know
the
public
constantly
tells
us
that
they
do
not
feel
safe
around
some
of
our
staff
who
wear
the
badge,
the
city
of
minneapolis
logo,
and
that's
unfortunate.
You
know
it's
not
about.
A
I
think
in
many
of
these
cases
the
respect
for
the
individual
city,
employees,
but
it's
more
so
about
the
institution
that
they
represent,
and
this
is
what
we
even
heard
from
unarmed
responders
just
several
weeks
ago
in
our
public
health
and
safety
committee,
where
they
said
you
know
when
they
go
out
to
a
call
and
they're
wearing
their
city
of
minneapolis
badge,
they're
often
met
with
tons
of
defensiveness
the
walls.
The
barriers
go
up,
and
you
know
when
they're
able
to
finally
connect
at
a
personal
level.
A
We
see
those
or
they
see
those
walls
go
down.
So
I
think
you
know
it's
largely
reflective
of
a
lot
of
the
misconduct
and
the
the
aggression
that
our
employees
are
experiencing
on.
You
know
in
their
day-to-day
jobs.
It's
often
reflective
of
just
a
lot
of
the
failures
that
we've
continue
to
make
around
creating
change
around
our
public
safety
department.
A
So
I
would
love
you
know
to
continue
working
with
our
fellow
council
members
to
pass
policies
that
actually
ensure
the
greatest
standards
of
service
to
all
of
our
residents,
that
you
know
that
can
go
from
whether
you're
providing
public
safety
services
to
providing
garbage.
You
know
collection.
A
You
deserve
the
greatest
quality
and
the
most
ethical
quality
of
standards
there,
and
and
that's
the
first
step
in
actually
re
gaining
the
published
trust,
so
that
they
also
know
that
that
trust
can
be
translated
into
their
interactions
with
our
and
city
employees,
so
I'll
be
supporting
that,
but
also
recognize.
There
is
another
piece
that
even
you,
director
johnson
acknowledged.
A
We
have
to
do
a
lot
of
work
in
rebuilding
that
public
trust
and
how
that
relates
to
our
the
the
safety
of
much
of
all
of
our
city
employees,
and
with
that
I
see
council,
member
koski
also
on
the
deck.
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
I
had
an
opportunity
to
sit
in
a
snow
plow
for
several
hours
this
winter
and
got
a
chance
first
hand
to
connect
with
some
of
the
individuals
and
do
a
tour
of
the
facility
and
the
number
one
thing
that
they
talked
about
as
a
concern
was
their
safety
as
as
being
out
in
the
vehicles
and
being
out
around
our
minneapolis
constituents.
D
They
don't
get
to
see
me
and
all
of
us
here
in
in
city
hall,
but
they
see
so
many
of
our
dedicated
workers
out
doing
everything
that
they
can
in
order
to
make
our
city
work
well
and
be
proud,
and
I'm
really
grateful
today
that
we
are
making
sure
that
we
are
going
to
be
supporting
them
in
this
way.
So
thank
you
for
doing
this.
A
Awesome,
I
don't
see
anyone
else
on
the
docket
for
comments,
I'm
seeing
no
further
discussion,
I'll
move
approval
for
all
of
those
in
favor
say
I
I
that
motion
carries
so
last
item
on
the
discussion.
Roll
call
is
item
25.
Actually,
let
me
switch
that
here.
A
Thank
you,
the
municipal,
sorry,
collective
bargaining
agreement
for
our
minnesota,
our
yeah
minnesota
public
employees
association.
My
apologies
about
that.
Do
we
have
our
staff
all
right
director
atkinson!
Thank
you.
So
much
for
joining
us
lee
lead
the
way
here.
K
Good
afternoon,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
committee
members
and
vice
chair.
My
name
is
holland
atkinson.
I
have
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
the
director
of
labor
relations
for
the
city.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
serve.
What
I
have
for
you
today
is
a
collective
bargaining
agreement.
What
we're
seeking
is
the
authorization
for
new
collective
bargaining
agreement
between
the
minnesota
public
employees
association.
They
are
known
as
mnp,
and
that
is
representing
the
911.
K
This
particular
agreement
is
for
january
1st
of
22,
so
at
the
beginning
of
this
year,
and
it
would
conclude
on
december
31st
of
2024,
and
this
would
be
consistent
with
the
terms
and
the
executive
summary
attached
inside
of
the
committee
notes,
and
it
would
be
for
authorizing
myself
the
director
to
implement
the
terms
and
conditions
of
this
agreement,
and
I've
been
asked
just
to
give
a
high
level
overview
and
I'd
like
to
do
that
vice
chair,
if
you,
if,
if
you
please
this
particular
group,
it's
not
large,
but
a
very
impactful
group,
there's
58
members
in
this
particular
bargaining
unit,
but
these
are
the
folks
that
take
the
911
calls
and
this
agreement.
K
K
Its
total
compensation
is
viewed
as
competitive
the
recruitment
we
are
experiencing
increased
difficulties
due
to
these
market
pressures
and
there's
a
number
of
these
particular
emergency
dispatch
centers
throughout
the
metro,
and
so
this
particular
market
is
it's
important
to
the
city,
because
it
represents
a
a
strong
entry
point
for
a
lot
of
our
bipac
and
female
employees
inside
of
the
city.
They
come
through
right
in
this
particular
unit
and
it's
a
group
we
want
to
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
elevate
and
make
sure
that
they
have
a
promotional
line
as
well.
K
So
to
that
point,
this
particular
group
has,
in
terms
of
the
demographics,
approximately
21
percent
people
of
color
and
then
72
percent
female.
So
again,
like
I
said
this
is
a
female
dominated
role.
This
particular
bargaining
unit
no
concerns
identified
regarding
its
performance
management,
no
other
concerns
identified
in
general.
Now
this.
K
What
we've
brought
forward
is
a
three-year
agreement
for
january
1st
of
22
through
december
31st
of
2024,
as
I
said,
and
to
get
into
the
economics,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
more
important
things
that
was
negotiated
in
this
one
I'll
go
year
by
year.
In
the
year
22
it
was
a
2.5
increase
to
the
general
wages,
and
that
includes
any
premiums
and
their
longevity
schedule.
K
This
was
the
same
in
23.,
a
2.5
increase
for
that
year
and
then,
finally,
in
24
also
a
2.5
percent,
but
importantly
with
this
group,
they
were
impacted
by
the
postcovid
negotiation
pattern.
So
in
fact
they
were
the
group
that
brought
forward
a
their
last
agreement
into
interest
arbitration
and
that
award
is
set.
The
pattern
for
the
city
of
one
percent
in
2020
and
one
and
a
half
percent
general
increases
in
21.,
so
they
did
receive
those
increases.
K
There
were
other
bargaining
units
that
had
agreed
prior
to
when
the
when
the
pandemic
hit
and
all
these
things.
So
we
had
a
real,
disjointed
pattern
in
the
city
and
it
was
important
for
us
to
restore
that
internal
equity
for
this
particular
bargaining
unit
and
the
six
others
that
were
also
impacted
post
pandemic,
which
is
why
you
see
that
we
have
an
internal
equity
letter
of
agreement
as
the
fourth
bullet
point
on
this,
and
that
is
for
a
0.75
percent
increase
in
april
of
23
and
another
0.75
increase
in
april
of
24.
K
There
were
a
number
of
model
language
improvements
that
were
included
in
here.
We
were
able
to
finally
include
juneteenth
into
the
list
of
holidays.
As
you
know,
this
was
already
something
the
city
had
done,
but
we
do
have
to
restore
it
or
we
have
to
implement
it.
In
for
every
agreement,
we
also
modified
their
holiday
hours,
they
had
88,
and
so
that
reflected
the
previous
number
of
holidays,
but
we
upped
it
to
96
to
reflect
the
current
number
of
holidays.
K
There
was
an
update
to
the
fmla
language,
just
model
language,
where
we
direct
people
towards
our
website.
K
We
added
some
additional
language
regarding
flex,
time
and
telecommuting,
which
we're
trying
to
improve
overall
and
open
up
some
options.
Just
in
case
it
does
become
something
that's
available
to
this
group.
In
the
future
we
altered
the
inclement
weather
notice.
We
removed
wcco
as
being
the
only
way
that
people
can
check,
because
people
check
often
through
other
ways
other
than
am
radio
nowadays,
and
we
also
made
an
improvement
regarding
job
when
we
do
job
study
classifications
on
when
pay
can
be
implemented.
K
That's
a
model,
language
improvement,
and
finally,
we
reflected
that
there
are
now
two
classifications
in
in
the
since
the
last
agreement.
This
particular
bargaining
unit
used
to
be
one
single
class,
but
we
split
it
into
two
now,
it's
those
that
take
the
call
and
those
that
dispatch.
So
it's
two
different
levels,
and
that
is
the
executive
summary
for
this.
But
I
stand
for
questions
vice
chair.
A
D
Chair
director
excellent,
I
just
had
a
quick
question:
I'm
curious
to
know
how
the
they
came
up
with
a
thousand
dollar
retention
incentive
and
if
that's
been
something
that
we're
just.
I
guess
I'm
curious
to
know
how
they
came
to
that.
That
dollar
amount.
K
Advice
here
wants
lebron
laba
councilmember
koski.
Thank
you
for
that
the
so
the
thousand
dollars
was
part
of
a
total
package,
so
after
the
whole
economics
was
put
together.
That
was
really
where
what
we
were
able
to
work
together
with
the
available
budget
constraints
that
we
had.
D
A
Put
my
stuff
on
stack,
I'm
really
excited
to
see
this
package
before
us.
I
know
several
of
us
council
members
recently
did
a
tour
of
9-1-1
where
we
got
to
hear
and
see
for
ourselves.
Just
you
know
the
immense
amount
of
work
and
intentionality
that
goes
into
their
work
to
meet
the
comprehensive
needs
of
of
our
our
residents,
and
they
are
very
much
understaffed
and
also
it's
an
intensive.
You
know
recruitment
process,
also
verification
process.
Just
the
level
of
the
intensity
of
the
training
process
to
be
you
know
become
a
9-1-1.
A
Dispatcher
was
just
really
fascinating
to
be
able
to
observe
and
really
wishing
we
had
many
of
those
you
know
qualification
factors
and
preparatory
factors
for
many
of
our
other
staff.
I
was
also
really
excited
to
see
the
thousand
dollar
essential.
Considering
you
know
this
body
also
approved
recently
the
mpd
or
well
the
the
bargaining
tentative
agreement
for
our
law
enforcement
personnel,
which
had
a
seven
thousand
dollar
incentive.
A
So
I
wish
I
could
see
this
number
higher,
but
I'm
glad
that
there
is
a
sense
of
towards
retaining
these
very
crucial
public
safety
workers
as
well.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
supporting
this
and
when
to
put
that
on
public
record,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
A
Well,
that's
it!
Thank
you
so
much
director
atkinson
for
your
presentation,
yep
vice.
K
Chair
might
make
one
more
statement.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
you
said
about
the
intensity
of
the
work
product,
that
this
particular
bargaining
unit
executes
every
day.
It's
very
difficult
work
and
the
city
would
not
function
successfully
without
them
they're
a
vital
public
service,
and
these
are
vital
public
servants.
K
I
also
have
spent
the
night
in
this
particular
call
center
and
it's
a
real
eye-opener
how
technical
and
fast
and
difficult
this
work
is-
and
I
just
wanted
to
also,
as
the
director
of
this
just
go
on
record
and
saying
that
it
was
a
privilege
to
work
with
this
particular
bargaining
unit
and
ensure
that
they
had
these
economic
improvements.
A
Thank
you,
director,
atkinson
with
that
we
have
no
other
questions.
Oh.
A
Oh
yes,
with
that,
I
am
going
to
move
forward
for
us
to.
You
know,
carry
this
motion
to
floor
council.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
aye!
Oh,
we
are.
A
There's
no
name
so
that
motion
carries
any
other
questions
before
we
adjourn.
Oh
all,
right,
I
see
council
member.
E
A
D
B
E
All
right,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
just
change.
My
vote
on.
I
previously
had
made
a
vote
to
vote.
I
on
21
20
20.
19.
Looking
at
my
spreadsheet,
I
voted
in
favor
of
four
items
on
the
last
motion.
I
just
want
to
change
my
vote
to
instead
of
voting
and
forward
all
four
of
them
to
vote
no
on
21
and
22..
E
A
You,
okay,
so
we're
going
to
take
up
the
motion
made
by
councilmember
chavez
to
reconsider
those
two
items.
I
mean
you
have
those
two
items,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye.
E
A
Aye
and
then
all
those
in
opposition
say,
nay,
nay,
all
right,
so
we're
in
tutu.
So
new
motion
could
be
to
keep
these
on
the
agenda
for
pogo.
For
next
consideration,
no
motion
all
right.
Well,
those
will
then
be
on
our
next
agenda
for
pogo
at
our
next
meeting
for
consideration.
A
I
will
note
in
that
case
that
I
know
I've
been
in
conversations
with
our
attorneys
about
getting
a
presentation
on
legal
settlements.
I
know
this
has
been
a
conversation.
Many
of
our
council
members
several
have
raised,
including
council
member
chavez,
so
would
love
to
work
with
our
staff
to
get
that
presentation.
Teed
up
and
I
see
ken
yes,
madam.
H
Chair
just
a
clarification,
I
just
spoke
with
the
city
clerk,
so
our
understanding
is
that
the
motion
that
the
body
just
voted
on
was
a
motion
to
reconsider
and
it
appeared.
The
motion
to
reconsider
did
not
carry
okay.
So
then,
the
body's
original
motion
to
send
forward
without
recommendation
would
still
have
have
succeeded
and
the
items
would
be
forwarded
to
council
without
recommendation.
Awesome.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
Ken
also
will
note
too
we'll
continue
to
well
I'll
follow
up
with
you
directly.
I
know
our
attorneys
have
offered
to
bring
for
a
presentation
on
this
specific
item
for
the
public,
so
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
make
that
happen
here
in
pogo,
but
with
that
I
think
that
concludes
all
of
our
our
business.
So
I
get
to
bang
the
gavel.
We're
done.
