B
I
will
also
note
that
the
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law
at
this
time.
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
D
C
B
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
before
we
begin
this
meeting
today.
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
because
chief
tyner
has
challenged
council
members
to
open
each
meeting
with
a
fact
for
black
history
month.
I'm
glad
to
take
up
this
challenge
and
and
talk
today
about
claudette
colvin,
who,
nine
months
before
rosa
parks,
famously
refused
to
relinquish
her
seat,
was
also
riding
a
public
bus
home
from
school.
B
After
a
long
day,
she
was
just
15
years
old
when
a
white
passenger
boarded
on
the
bus
and
the
bus
driver
ordered
claudette
to
give
up
her
seat.
Claudette
refused,
as
she
later
told
newsweek
I
felt
like
serger
truth
was
pushing
down
on
one
shoulder
and
harriet.
Tubman
was
pushing
down
on
the
other.
I
was
glued
to
my
seat.
B
B
So
we
recognize
and
thank
the
heroic
and
brave
efforts
of
claudette
colvin.
Today
there
are
two
items
on
our
consent
agenda
committee
members
which
I
will
read
for
the
record.
The
first
is
amending
the
2022
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions
to
reflect
a
lowered
project
costs
for
the
nikolai
avenue
bridge,
and
the
second
is
passage
of
a
resolution
amending
our
previous
resolution
entitled
approving
and
ranking
the
2022
capital
budget
request
and
submitting
requests
to
the
commissioner
of
management
and
budget.
B
B
And
I
believe
that
councilmember
koski.
E
B
F
Morning,
good
morning,
chair,
johnson
and
councilmember
koski
brought
jelly
interim
director
of
public
works.
Yes,
on
the
point
of
the
lowered
projected
cost
just
a
little
bit
of
background
large.
These
large
bridges,
especially
something
like
this
with
a
large
concrete
arch
bridge,
is
kind
of
budget
busters
in
our
capital
budget
and
one
of
the
things
we've
done
as
we've
looked
at
kind
of
opportunities
with
the
federal
infrastructure
stimulus,
we've
advanced
the
work
on
the
nikola
avenue
bridge
to
be
ready
for
that.
F
I
think
over
the
course
of
of
kind
of
moving
that
forward
quickly.
We
that
60
million
number
is
more
consistent
with
what
the
10th
avenue
bridge
costs
came
in
at
is:
we've
kind
of
reviewed,
the
scope
of
the
plan
and
and
what
we
expect
the
work
to
be
we're
estimating
more
of
a
34
million
dollar
project.
F
So
just
as
we've
refined
the
project,
you
know,
and
the
good
news
is
we're
coming
down
in
costs
and
then
with
the
state,
bonding
restrictions
for
a
project
like
this,
we
would
be
requesting
half
of
that
amount.
So
that's
how
we
got
to
the
two
new
numbers.
E
I
appreciate
that
and
then
one
other.
This
is
more
of
a
comment
that
I'd
just
like
to
make
chair
johnson,
but
I'm
hoping
that
at
a
future
date
I'd
like
this
body
to
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
our
state's
current
legislative
agenda
and
working
with
our
intergovernmental
relations
team
to
push
the
state's
no
knock
warrants
law
and
data
practice
law
as
it
relates
to
body
camera
footage.
E
I
believe
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
move
ground,
as
our
delegation
recently
expressed
a
willingness
to
move
or
get
creative
with
the
data
practice
law
as
it
currently
stands,
and
I
also
note
that
the
governor
has
expressed
the
need
and
interest
for
continued
reform
for
a
no
knock
warrant.
So
I
hope
that
we
can
add
this
to
a
future
meeting
and
work
together
prior
to
that.
So
I
just
it's
less
of
a
addressing
these
consent
items
but
more
of
a
comment
so.
B
G
I
I
was
just
going
to
echo
the
comments
of
council
member
koski
that
we
are
at
a
really
pivotal
pivotal
moment
on
this
body
in
the
wake
of
the
killing
of
amir
lock,
and
we
recognize
that
many
of
the
reforms
that
need
to
happen
need
to
go
through
state
legislature,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
took
this
opportunity
for
this
first
meeting
of
our
igr
committee
to
really
think
deeply
about
how
we
can
work
together
as
a
body
to
ensure
that
that
policy
agenda
is
moving
forward.
G
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
payne,
and
I
I
appreciate
both
you
and
councilmember
koski
for
speaking
on
this
and
know
that
you
are
speaking
as
well
on
on
behalf
of
other
council
members
too,
who
share
this
sentiment
and
that
there
is
a
very
prominent
intergovernmental
relations
role
in
this
work.
I
see
we
have
council,
member,
chuck,
thailand,
q,
council,
member.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
you
know
really
appreciate
both
council
member
koski
and
councilmember
payne's
comments,
and
it
appears
like
that's
very,
very
well
received
by
by
you
as
well,
and
so
you
know
like
still
a
new
council
member
here,
so
just
asking
to
understand
better.
Is
there
a
way
for
us
to
be
able
to
add
that
to
our
to
our
like
igr,
like
legislative
priorities
in
our
meeting
today,
or
would
that
be?
Would
that
be
like
the
incorrect
way
of
going
about
doing
this?.
B
So
what
we'll
plan
on
doing-
and
I
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
both
councilmember
koski
and
councilmember
payne
prior
to
this
meeting,
so
our
teams
are
going
to
be
meeting
after
this
meeting
and
working
with
our
intergovernmental
relations
team
on
identifying
key
authors
over
at
the
legislature
and
working
with
them
on
bill
language,
and
then
I
know
that
there
is
interest
in
introducing
or
supporting
legislation
over
at
the
legislature,
and
then
we
will
subsequently
amend
at
a
future
meeting
our
intergovernmental
relations
legislative
agenda.
So
it's
it
yeah.
B
It
is
a
great
question,
though,
because
there
it
can
both
happen.
We
can
both
amend
before
legislation
is
introduced
and
also
afterwards
as
well.
So
it
gives
us
that
flexibility-
and
we
also
have
a
number
of
existing
positions
that
really
support
in
our
legislative
agenda.
Transformational
change
around
public
safety
already
that
we
can
leverage.
So
there
is
not
a
delay
in
working
to
to
push
around
these
efforts,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
this
up.
B
Thank
you
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
council
members.
I
will
officially
move
the
two
items
on
the
consent
agenda,
any
other
comments
or
questions
not
seeing
any.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
A
H
E
A
H
A
A
D
B
We
have
a
state
legislative
update
from
our
intergovernmental
relations
staff
as
well
as
city
partners
who
are
here
joining
us
today,
so
we're
excited
to
have
some
guests
here.
We
were
originally
planning
on
having
intergovernmental
relations.
Director
fatima
moore
lead
this
presentation,
but
unfortunately
she
is
out
sick
today.
So
we
are
all
wishing
director
moore
a
speedy
recovery
and
in
her
place,
will
be
mr
huser
from
the
igr
team
to
introduce
our
presenters.
So
I
will
let
him
begin
welcome.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair
again
yeah.
This
is
steve
huser
with
the
intergovernmental
intergovernmental
relations
team.
Director
moore
sends
her
regrets
for
not
being
able
to
present
to
you
this
morning.
I
do
want
to
say
too
that
igr
looks
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
on
you
know,
making
any
necessary
changes
to
our
legislative
agenda
and
priorities.
I
I
So,
looking
at
my
screen,
I
do
see
if
there
should
be
another
powerpoint
if
we
could
get
the
other
powerpoint
queued
up.
Thank
you
and
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
I
So
today
I
get
to
introduce
both
the
gary
carlson
who's,
the
director
of
the
government
affairs
for
the
league
of
minnesota
cities
and
patricia
almond,
who
is
the
director
of
metro
cities.
I
have
worked
closely
with
both
of
them
for
several
years
now,
so
I'm
really
happy
that
they
get
to
present
to
you
all
today
and
I
think
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
will
start
with
gary
carlson
and
I
believe
anne
finn
is
also
available
to
present
to
all
of
you.
So
I
leave
it
to
you
gary.
J
Well,
thank
you,
steve
and
thank
you,
members
of
the
city
council.
My
name
is
gary
carlson,
as
steve
indicated,
and
I
work
at
the
league
of
minnesota
cities.
I've
been
with
the
league
for
31
years
now
and
actually
I
started
my
career
in
the
government
relations
department
at
the
city
of
minneapolis
back
in
1983
1984,
and
so
I
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
city
hall
on
the
m
floor
and
I'd
love
to
get
back
there
in
person.
So
hopefully
we'll
be
back
in
person
in
the
near
future.
J
Here
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
much
about
the
league,
we
are
one
of
49
state
leagues
around
the
country
formed.
We
were
formed
in
1913,
really
as
an
adjunct
to
the
university
of
minnesota,
and
really
we
started
as
an
educational
institution
to
try
to
bring
professionalism
to
city
governance,
and
that's
still
our
largely
our
mission.
Today
we
do
represent
837
of
the
state's
854
cities.
J
The
largest
non-member
of
those
17
that
are
not
members
is
under
130
population
and,
to
be
honest,
if
they
call
with
a
question
on
running
their
city
or
a
question
about
a
legislative
issue,
we
certainly
help
them
out.
So
we
feel
that
virtually
every
city
is
a
member
and
we
treat
them
all
like
members,
regardless
of
whether
they
voluntarily
contribute
to
our
organization.
J
I
should
say,
and
thank
councilmember
johnson.
He
also
serves
on
our
board
of
directors,
and
in
that
role
he
gets
to
basically
run
our
organization
and
he
gets
to
participate
in
our
policy
development
process
as
well,
because,
ultimately,
our
policies
are
adopted
by
our
board
of
directors.
I
also
want
to
thank
steve
and
fatima.
Your
team
is
great
to
work
with.
J
They
are
very
involved
in
our
policy
development
process,
which
is
our
own
democratic
process
whereby
we
form
our
policy
positions
for
the
upcoming
year,
and
I
would
invite
any
of
you
who
would
like
to
join
any
of
our
policy
committees
to
reach
out
we'd
love
to
have
involvement
of
our
cities.
We
usually
get
a
150
to
175
city
officials
from
across
the
state
who
participate
in
shaping
our
policy
platform
every
year.
J
Very
briefly,
too.
In
addition
to
providing
legislative
representation
for
our
member
cities,
we
do
a
lot
of
other
things.
We
work
with
your
legal
team
on
various
legal
issues.
We
have
a
an
amicus
program
that
where
we
have
lawsuits
that
reach
the
appeals
and
the
supreme
court
level,
we
we
will
intervene
on
behalf
of
cities,
writing
amicus
briefs
and
trying
to
influence
the
outcomes
of
some
of
that
important
those
important
court
decisions.
J
We
do
a
lot
of
conference
and
training
events.
I
won't
get
into
too
many
of
those
details.
Last
week
we
had
a
newly
elected
conference
really
teaching
new
city
officials
from
across
the
state,
the
ins
and
outs
of
being
a
city
council
member
laws
that
you
have
to
abide
by
and
so
forth.
J
J
I
work
on
taxation
and
state
aid
issues
on
pension
and
workers,
compensation
issues
and
finn
who
will
join
us
in
a
minute.
Is
our
transportation
and
public
safety
expert
and
she's
been
working
on
those
issues
for
cities
for
22
years
now,
just
briefly,
some
of
our
policy
priorities
this
this
year
that
I
just
want
to
bring
to
your
attention.
J
One
of
the
biggest
issues
is
obviously
housing
and
tools
for
cities
to
respond
to
the
housing
needs
across
the
state.
This
has
become
a
huge
issue
for
our
member
cities
and
it's
it's.
It
ranges
from
preservation
of
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
to
construction
of
new
market
rate
and
workforce
housing.
J
Our
cities
are
really
struggling
and
our
businesses
are
struggling
to
find
housing
for
people
and
on
this
issue
we
are
working
on
what
we're
calling
the
housing
preservation
or
the
housing
spectrum
package
that
we're
working
with
representative
alice
houseman
from
saint
paul
on
that
will
provide
additional
tools
for
cities
to
respond
to
housing
needs,
and
that
includes
additional
housing,
infrastructure,
bonds
for
single
and
multi-family
projects.
J
We
also
are
well
aware
that
the
private
market
is
has
resulted
in
a
lot
of
corporations
and
corporate
investors
purchasing,
affordable,
single-family
housing
and
we'd
like
to
find
the
solution
to
keeping
that
out
there
for
an
affordable
housing
option
for
individuals
rather
than
having
the
corporations
purchase
those
properties.
So
we're
working
on
a
mechanism
that
will
basically
try
to
preserve
the
affordable
housing
that
is
out
there
and
prevent
it
from
being
snapped
up
by
corporate
investors
and
converted
into
necessarily
rental
housing
properties.
J
J
We
haven't
seen
as
many
of
those
attempts
this
year,
but
we
will
continue
to
monitor
legislative
introductions
and
and
oppose
preemption
or
mandates
that
come
down
that
prevent
us
from
basically
responding
to
local
needs
and
then
the
other
major
issues
that
I
work
on
before
I
turn
it
over
to
anne
finn
are
the
tax
and
aid
issues,
and
this
year
one
of
the
major
issues
we're
working
on
is
a
is
a
program
that
well
actually
ms
nelman,
who
will
be
speaking
in
a
minute,
has
been
working
closely
with
me
as
well.
J
But
we
are
at
about
the
decennial
census,
update
for
the
local
government
aid
formula
and
that
that
program
provides
over
564
million
dollars
of
state
resources
for
cities
across
the
state
and
minneapolis
is
a
recipient
of
those
funds
as
well,
and
we
are
working
on
a
challenge
that
was
leveled
by
the
tax
chairs
in
the
house
and
senate
to
revamp
that
formula,
maybe
make
it
work
a
little
bit
better
and
actually
tune
it
up,
because
most
of
the
data
that
goes
into
that
system
is
based
on
the
2013
update
that
was
enacted
by
the
legislature.
J
J
That
is
a
big
issue
and
we
really
do
need
to
make
sure
that
the
funding
level
for
local
aid
continues
to
at
least
provide
cities
with
assistance
and
and
funds.
That
program
is
languished.
We
just
last
in
the
last
two
years,
finally
returned
the
funding
level
to
local
government
aid
to
the
level
that
was
last
at
at
its
peak
in
2002.
J
So
we
really
are
working
hard
to
secure
additional
funding
for
that
program.
It's
important
it's
flexible
and
it
is
the
lifeblood
for
many
of
our
cities
in
providing
services
to
their
residents
and
then
finally,
one
other
project
that
I'm
working
on
with
ms
nowman
and
other
city
groups
is
is
a
sales
tax
exemption
issue,
and
you
already
just
talked
about
some
of
the
infrastructure
projects.
J
J
The
governor
has
included
our
proposal
in
his
supplemental
budget,
and
this
would
save
cities
and
estimated
both
cities
and
counties
an
estimated
70
million
dollars
a
year
that
we
are
right
now
paying
in
sales
tax
to
the
state
of
minnesota
on
those
important
infrastructure
projects
that
we
undertake
with
contractors.
So
we're
hopeful.
We
can
get
that
one
across
the
finish
line
this
year.
J
K
Thank
you,
chair,
johnson
and
good
morning.
Everyone,
as
gary
said
I'd
like
to
just
brief
you
on
a
public
safety
issue
that
we've
been
spending
quite
a
bit
of
time
on,
and
that
is
public
safety
duty,
disability
and
particularly
the
trends
around
post-traumatic
stress
disorder,
duty
disabilities.
K
That
number
the
number
of
folks
that
have
taken
duty
disabilities
for
ptsd
has
tripled
in
the
last
three
years,
and
we
know
that
this
is
a
statewide
issue,
we're
hearing
from
our
small
cities,
our
regional
centers
and,
of
course,
our
big
cities.
About
this.
We
are
doing
a
few
different
things.
Well.
First
of
all,
I
should
say
that
that
we're
really
troubled
by
the
trends
both
because
this
is
a
a
human
issue
and
we
want
to
take
care
of
our
public
safety
employees.
K
If
we
can
get
them
back
to
work,
so
the
league
is
taking
a
couple
of
approaches.
One
is
that
we
actually
have
an
fte
and
internally
at
the
league,
that
is
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
education
and
prevention.
K
So
there
are
things
we
can
do
outside
of
the
legislative
arena
that
we're
working
really
hard
on,
but
at
the
at
the
capitol
this
year
we
are
planning
on
introducing
a
bill,
it's
being
drafted
and
probably
will
be
available
for
review
in
the
next
week
or
so.
We
are
working
closely
with
representative
jamie
long
and
also
with
senator
jeff
howe.
On
the
senate
side,
our
bill
will
probably
have
three
major
components.
K
If
that's
at
all
possible,
we
think
that's
the
best
outcome
for
the
individual
and
the
employer
and
the
community,
and
we
do
know
through
a
lot
of
research.
That's
been
done
that
mental
injuries
are
very
treatable
and
do
not
have
to
be
career,
ending
in
every
situation,
so
we're
pushing
forward.
We
should
have
a
bill
number
for
you
in
the
next
probably
two
weeks.
I
would
say
we
will
get
the
language
and
get
that
circulated
with
the
right
folks,
labor
folks
and
leaders,
and
then
get
that
bill
jacketed
and
introduced.
B
Wonderful,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
before
we
move
on
in
the
presentation
from
council
members.
B
So,
mr
hughes
are,
we
are
we
moving
now
to
mrs
naumann.
I
Yes,
mr
chair,
we
can
move
to
miss
nominee
and
we
can
advance
the
slide
too.
All
right.
B
Perfect
and
and
before
we
do,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
our
league
of
minnesota
city
league
of
minnesota
city's
partners
in
all
of
this
work
and
one
of
the
things
just
for
committee
members
is
bringing
in
these
partners
today
to
really
help
share
what
they're
doing
in
the
work
that
they're
doing,
but
also
to
help
in
thinking
about
how,
as
council
members,
how,
as
city
leaders,
we
can
work
even
closer
with
our
wonderful
partners
who
are
really
champions
out
there
for
these
common
issues
that
we
face
in
cities.
B
So
I
see
we've
got
council
member
rainville
in
the
queue
with
a
comment
or
question
before
we
move
on
councilmember.
D
J
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
rainville,
the
the
bill
that
we
are
working
on
with
representative
houseman
and
representative
herr
is
actually
it
actually
has
been
introduced.
House
file,
two
eight
eight
zero
and
it
does
include
a
provision
that
would
would
impose
an
excise
tax
on
corporate
purchases
of
of
homes.
I
I'd
have
to
defer
to
daniel
lightfoot
on
our
staff.
J
He's
been
the
one
working
closely
with
representative
houseman
and
representative
herr
on
this
particular
piece
of
the
of
the
equation,
but
we
know
this
is
a
huge
issue
for
not
only
you
know
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
saint
paul,
but
even
some
of
our
suburban
communities
are
seeing
this
same
trend,
so
we're
hoping
to
get
that
bill
heard
fairly
quickly
in
the
session.
J
D
B
Thank
you
any
additional
comments
or
questions
before
we
move
on
not
seeing
any
well
we're
gonna
welcome
today,
patricia
naumann
from
metro
cities.
Welcome
the
floor
is
all
yours.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
It's
very
good
to
see
you
and
and
to
see
all
of
you
on
the
committee.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
to
present
to
you
this
morning
and
I'll
be
brief,
but
my
name
again
is
patricia
allman,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
metro
cities.
Our
legal
name
is
still
the
association
of
metropolitan
municipalities,
but
we
did
do
a
branding
change
several
years
ago
because
that's
17
syllables
and
it
gets
caught
up
in
all
the
capital
acronyms.
L
So
we
are
metro
cities
for
short,
but
sometimes
you
might
hear
us
just
called
amm
and
we
are
still
legally
the
amm.
So
metro
cities
does
represent
the
shared
interests
of
cities
across
the
metropolitan
areas.
The
seven
county
region
is
our
jurisdiction
and
we
do
represent
those
shared
interests
in
front
of
the
legislature,
the
executive
branch
and
also
the
metropolitan
council,
and
I
will
touch
on
our
unique
relationship
with
the
council.
L
In
a
moment,
metro
cities
is
governed
by
a
19-member
board
of
directors,
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
entitled
to
two
seats
on
our
board.
Currently,
fatima
moore,
your
igr
director
has
a
seat
on
the
board
and
in
next
week
the
board
of
directors
will
appoint
a
council
member
andrea
jenkins
to
our
board
of
directors.
So
we
look
forward
to
wreck
to
welcoming
you
council
member
jenkins
next
week.
L
I
also
just
want
to
briefly
recognize
steve
huser
he's
a
former
staff
person
at
metro
city,
so
you're
very
fortunate
to
have
him
on
your
team
as
well,
and
I'm
happy
to
still
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
steve
in
the
government
relations
arena.
L
So
just
very
briefly,
and
some
of
our
policies
I'll
be
very
brief
here,
but
the
similar
to
the
league's
process.
Our
policies
are
developed
by
the
consensus
of
the
membership
and
metro
cities
has
a
review
of
those
policies
every
summer
and
then
the
policies
are
developed.
The
review,
developed
vetted
by
consensus
and
then
they're
approved
by
the
full
membership.
L
So
just
very
briefly,
also
metro
cities
does
a
couple
of
just
general
pieces
of
information.
Metro
cities
does
have
statutory,
appointing
authority
to
two
regional
bodies,
the
transportation
advisory
board
and
the
technical
advisory
committee
that
advises
the
the
tab.
Those
are
two
responsibilities.
We
take
very
seriously
and
have
been
long-standing
statutory
responsibilities
for
the
association.
L
Just
very
briefly,
on
the
metropolitan
council.
Metro
cities
does
play
a
unique
role
in
the
local
government
advocacy
community
in
its
representation
of
the
shared
interests
of
cities
at
the
metropolitan
council.
It
was
a
key
reason
that
the
association
was
created
in
1974
and
it
remains
a
very
key
mission
of
the
association
today
and
what
that
means
is
we
really
are.
I
would
characterize
that
relationship
as
watchdog
partner,
you
know,
sort
of
collab.
L
We
work
in
coordination
very
a
lot
a
lot
of
times
in
coordination
with
the
met
council,
but
we
are
also
are
the
watchdog
to
make
sure
that
regional
policies
take
into
account
the
needs
of
cities
when
they
are
being
made,
and
that's
a
a
very
important
role
for
the
association.
So
oftentimes
you'll
see
us
reporting
or
issuing
alerts
on
things
going
on
at
the
council,
as
well
as
the
legislature.
L
Metro
city's
as
a
metro,
wide
association
does
really
take
a
you
know.
We
lobby
on
statewide
issues
that
basically
have
metropolitan
significance.
So
these
are,
is
you
know
we
take
that
sort
of
metrocentric
view
of
the
world
when
we
are
out
advocating
for
your
interest
to
make
sure
that
you
know
at
the
state
capitol.
Certainly,
there
are
lots
of
tensions,
lots
of
issues,
lots
of
divides.
L
We
do,
you
know,
monitor
bills,
to
to
make
sure
that
you
know
sometimes
we're
opposing
bills,
we're
looking
out
to
defend
your
interests
at
the
capitol
other
times.
We
are
advancing
bills
that
basically
are
in
the
interests
of
making
sure
that
cities,
you
know
largely
have
the
tools
and
resources
that
they
need
to
function
this
year.
L
Some
of
our
priorities
do
include
specific
funding
for
metropolitan
cities
in
the
area
of
local
sewer
infrastructure.
This
is
for
cities
to
mitigate
influential
infiltration.
This
is
a
metro
cities
initiative.
We've
had
initiatives
every
year
for
probably
the
past
decade
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
benefited.
I'm
very
happy
to
say
very
happy
to
see
that
the
city
has
been
able
to
benefit
from
that
funding.
L
I
think
we've
secured
a
little
bit
over
20
million
dollars
over
the
last
10
years
for
that
particular
funding,
and
that's
an
issue
where
metro
cities
are
compelled
by
the
metropolitan
council
to
make
improvements
to
their
infrastructure
to
manage.
Basically,
what
is
clean
water
flowing
into
the
regional
wastewater
pipe,
so
our
bills
have
been
to
provide
you
with
some
assistance
in
those
efforts.
L
As
mr
carlson
pointed
out,
work
on
the
local
government
aid
formula
is
has
been
undertaken
by
the
league
metro
cities
and
the
coalition
of
greater
minnesota
cities.
It
is
time
for
that.
Look,
basically
metro
city's
position.
Yeah
with
that
statewide
formula
is
to
make
sure
that
metro
area
cities
are
getting
as
fair
of
a
shake
as
possible.
L
The
distribution
is
highly
geared
toward
rural
minnesota
for
some
very
important
reasons,
but
our
job
is
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
metro
cities
don't
get
lost
in
that
equation,
and
that
certainly
includes
the
city
of
minneapolis,
as
mr
carlson
pointed
out,
the
issue
of
house
issues
that
relate
to
housing,
both
on
funding
and
protecting
your
rights
as
a
city
to
make
decisions
on
behalf
of
your
city
with
you
know,
the
necessary
tools
and
resources
is
a
huge
issue
for
us
this
year
and
we
will
be
working
very
closely
again
both
to
protect
your
authority
and
also
to
make
sure
that
you
have
appropriate
funding.
L
I
will
maybe
just
stop
there
for
now.
We've
got
a
number
of
other
priorities.
We
probably
have
over
80
policies
and
I
just
again
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here.
I
am
a
resident
of
minneapolis
as
well
northeast
minneapolis
in
particular.
I
have
deep
family
roots
here,
so
it's
nice
to
be
presenting
to
the
city
council.
That
represents
me.
So
thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair
members.
I'd
be
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
B
Wonderful
well,
thank
you.
So
much
for
that
presentation
and
you
were
aren't-
are
not
kidding
about
these
policies.
I
mean
I've
seen
the
books
of
read
through
them
of
all
the
policies
that
you're
pursuing.
So
it
is
a
tremendous
effort
and
takes
a
ton
of
work.
I
will
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
from
committee
members,
not
seeing
any.
So.
Thank
you
so
much
again
for
that.
We
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
metro
cities
does
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
mr
huser.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
gary
patty
and
ann
for
presenting.
I
really
enjoy
working
with
all
three
of
them.
So
next
slide.
Please.
I
So,
mr
chair
and
members,
I'm
gonna
do
an
overview
of
the
legislative
session
for
you
and
so
to
start
off.
So
the
2022
legislative
session
began
january.
31St
by
statute,
it
is,
is
required
to
end
may
23rd
some
of
the
top
issues
that
will
be
that
we
are
anticipating
and
so
far
has
been
bearing.
You
know
that
the
legislature
will
consider
are
covet
19
response,
public
safety
issues.
I
One
thing
to
keep
in
mind
for
this
session
is
that
there
is
a
statewide
election
this
year
for
governor,
as
well
as
all
of
the
state
representatives
and
state
senators
are
also
running
for
reelection
in
2022,
so
it
is
important
for
us
as
igr
staff,
and
I
think
for
all
of
you
to
just
be
aware
that
a
lot
of
the
work
that
is
happening
at
the
capitol
is
is
with
an
eye
towards
the
2022
election
as
well.
I
The
minnesota
legislature
is
divided
government
with
the
republican
majority
in
the
senate
and
a
dfl
majority
in
the
house.
Next
slide,
please.
I
So
the
state
does
currently
have
a
7.7
billion
dollar
state
budget
surplus.
There
will
be
an
update
at
the
end
of
this
month.
It's
called
the
february
forecast
and
you
know
we
should
have
an
updated
number
on
what
the
surplus
actually
is.
So
I
I
can't
tell
you
today,
you
know
whether
that
number
is
going
to
go
up
or
down,
but
it
is
likely
to
be
different
than
the
7.7
number
that
we
currently
are
working
on
in
even-numbered
years
is
usually
predominantly
a
bonding
or
end
a
policy
year.
I
I
There
will
likely
be
more
policy
proposals
this
session
than
than
maybe
last
year
and
just
to
keep
in
mind
that
the
state
budget
is
funded
for
a
biennium.
So
that's
a
two-year
budget
cycle.
I
I
They
are
proposing
some
child
care
assistance
and
more
funding
for
education,
they're,
also
proposing
affordable
housing
and
homelessness.
You
know
funding
and
are
also
asking
the
state
to
pay
for
paid
sick
or
allow
for
paid
sick
and
safe
time
for
all
for
for
all
workers
and
then
to
give
the
some
bonus
pay
to
frontline
workers,
and
there
is
a
100
million
dollar
proposal
from
the
house
dfl
on
public
safety
and
I'll
talk
more
about
that
later
on.
I
In
my
presentation,
the
senate,
gop
surplus
spending
plan
is
very
much
targeted
towards
tax
cuts.
These
include
eliminating
the
social
security
tax
and
adding
tax
credits
for
parents.
These
are
in
some
of
these
tax
credits,
I
believe,
are
related
towards
education
as
well.
They
do
have
an
education
plan
and
they
do
have
a
package
of,
I
believe,
six
bills
related
to
public
safety.
I
Some
of
them
are
for
funding
for
more
law
enforcement,
as
well
as
trying
to
recruit
and
retain
law
enforcement
officers,
and
I
think
I've
got
a
future
slide
that
I
can
present
on
that
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
so
governor
wallace
has
presented
a
supplemental
budget
proposal
as
well.
His
proposal
is,
is
for
fiscal
years
22
to
25.
I
I
55
million
for
the
challenge
program,
2.2
million
for
transitional
housing,
3.3
million
dollars
for
the
opioid
overdose
prevention
and
hiv
prevention
for
people
experiencing
homelessness
and
32
million
dollars
in
the
homeownership
down
payment
assistance
program.
Next
slide.
I
The
governor's
proposal
related
to
taxes
and
taxes,
transportation
and
environment
includes
700
million
dollars
in
taxpayer
rebates
to
minnesotans
650
million
roughly
to
provide
some
non-federal
matching
dollars
as
part
of
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
or
the
iija
federal
bill
that
was
just
passed.
I
His
proposal
includes
200
million
dollars
for
the
blue
line,
light
rail
extension
project,
2.9
million
dollars
for
pfast
grants
or
per
floral
alkaloids.
So
these
are
the
forever
chemicals
in
in
water
and
then
54
million
dollars
for
adaptation,
action
and
water
storage
grants
to
local
governments
next
slide.
Please.
I
The

so
these
would
be

bill
proposal

a
2.73
billion
dollar
capital
investment
proposal.
It
includes
273.5

local

This
includes
three

the
five

I
The

I
I
I
I
I
I
Ten
million
dollars
are

the
opiate
epidemic
response,
grants
and
two
point:
five
million
dollars
or
are

body

and
there
are
some
various

related
to
civilian
oversight
and
an
expansion
of
the
post
board
authority
included
as
policy
provisions
in
this
bill
next
slide.
I
The
senate
gop
also
released
a
package
of
bills
related
to
public
safety.
Their
bills
call
for
65
million
dollars
to
bolster
the
the
peace
officer,
recruitment
efforts
across
the
state.
They
call
for
a
million
dollars
for
the
department
of
public
safety
to
carry
out
a
public
awareness
in
law
enforcement
careers
marketing
campaign.
I
I
I
Well,
both
the
all
the
the
governor,
the
house
and
the
senate
are
all
have
a
public
safety
proposal,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
a
variation
in
the
approaches
being
taken
specifically
between
the
house
and
the
senate.
I
So
looking
ahead
so
later
this
month,
we
we
will
have
a
february
forecast
with
updated
budget
numbers
for
the
state.
That
is
what
those
will
be
the
numbers
then
that
the
legislature
uses
to
negotiate
any
supplemental
budget.
I
I
So
there
will
be
the
members
themselves
will
know
exactly
who
their
constituencies
are
at
that
time
when
those
maps
are
released
and
there
is
a
scheduled
spring
recess
that
will
run
between
april
9th
and
april
18th
this
session-
and,
I
believe,
is
there
one
yeah
I'll
pause
there.
That's
the
end
of
my
presentation
and
mr
cheryl
I'd
be
happy
to
try
and
answer
any
questions.
B
You,
mr
huser,
really
appreciate
all
that
detailed
information,
there's
obviously
so
much
going
on
at
the
legislature.
So
it's
really
great
to
have
that
depth
of
information
and
to
see
the
different
priorities
as
we
interface
with
that
work,
I
will
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
from
committee
members
on
any
of
this
presentation.
B
Well,
I
am
not
seeing
any
so
for
that
presentation.
Thank
you
again.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
presentation,
and
then
we
will
move
on
to
our
last
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
a
report
regarding
the
federal
legislative
update.
So
I
will
turn
that
over
to
you,
mr
huser,
as
well.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
happy
to
introduce
mla
tranter,
who
is
our
lead
lobbyist
for
our
federal
government
relations
and
she'll,
give
you
a
presentation
on
in
a
federal
update.
So
thank
you.
Emily.
A
M
Thank
you,
chair
johnson,
thank
you
for
having
me
and
thank
you
members
of
the
council.
I
am
emily
trainor.
I
am
the
lead
lobbyist
for
federal
government
relations
at
primacy
strategy
group
privacy
is
our
team.
Is
your
federal
relations
team.
We
are
a
50
50
joint
partnership
between
lockridge
grinnell,
now
in
which
is
the
law
firm
based
in
minneapolis
and
synergetic
endeavors
of
firm
in
st
paul.
So
our
team
and
me
specifically
have
been
the
federal
lobbyist
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
M
M
Certainly,
you
know
go
in
depth
into
a
lot
of
this,
but
I,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
to
give
you
a
sort
of
broader
sense
of
where
we
are
at
the
snapshot
in
time
and
and
what
we
see
as
next
steps
and
then
I
would
be
thrilled
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
So
next
side
slide
please.
M
So
there
are
four
major
pieces
of
legislation
that
for
local
governments,
that
kind
of
the
collective
we
are
tracking
for
funding
for
for
opportunities
to
partner
and
get
resources
from
the
federal
government.
And
again
these
are
just
the
sort
of
big
pockets.
Big
big
big
pieces
that
we're
watching
right
now
and
these
build
on
the
major
pieces
of
legislation
that
were
passed
in
response
to
the
coveted
pandemic,
including
the
cares
act
and
american
rescue
plan
arpa,
which
are
still
being
that
those
fundings
are
still
coming
out.
M
The
city
is
still
engaging
with
them.
Your
teams
are
are
needing
to
meet,
make
reports
and
meet
criteria,
and
we
actually
just
got
the
final
ruling
on
the
american
rescue
plan
dollars
just
a
few
weeks
ago
in
terms
of
the
from
the
treasuries
from
guidelines.
So
there's
a
lot
of
funding
coming
in,
but
looking
forward
there
are.
M
There
are
these
for
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
iija,
it's
a
great
acronym,
buildback,
better
act,
which
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
status
update
on,
and
then
the
current
fiscal
year
budget
and
next
year's
fiscal
budget.
So
next
slide,
please
so
the
iija,
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
was
signed
into
law
by
president
biden
on
november
15th
of
last
year,
and
it
is
an
in
a
stunning
investment
into
infrastructure.
M
It
is
basically
double
1.2
trillion
dollars,
total
in
funding
for
infrastructure,
which
is
one
half
of
that
was
a
baseline
authorization
for
five
years,
and
then
they
plus
up
the
bill
by
another
500
million
billion.
Excuse
me
billion
dollars
for
projects
and
just
in
for
nationwide
investments.
Just
some.
Some
key
highlights
roads
and
bridges.
400
billion
infra
grants
which
are
which
are
transportation,
grants
that
local
governments
can
go
for
it's
8
billion
and
raise
grants
to
7.5
billion
and
those
are
over
the
life
of
the
bill.
M
But
it
represents
double
that
amount
and
that's
what
it's
authorized
at
and
there
is
certainly
in
budget
in
past
budgets
there.
They
have
come
back
for
more
on
those
fundings
because
they
are
really
great
sources
for
local
governments
to
move
forward
major
projects
and
just
specifically
to
minnesota
in
that
bill.
Roads
and
highways
will
receive
0.4.5
bridges,
302
million
there'll
be
100
million
for
broadband,
8.
or
808
million
for
public
transportation,
infrastructure
for
water,
680
million
airports,
297
million
cyber
security,
17
million
and
then
a
wildfire
protection.
M
But
some
of
these
will
be
particularly
like
with
the
electrical
vehicle
charging
networks,
there
will
be
new
opportunities
to
request
directly
from
the
federal
government,
so
we
are
watching
that
closely
and
making
sure
that
we
are
working
with
staff
to
identify
every
opportunity
that
makes
sense
for
the
city
to
engage
with
and
and
make
sure
that
the
pathways
to
funding
for
priority
projects
are
clear.
Next
slide,
please.
M
So
then
I
also
wanted
to
just
give
a
status
update
on
buildback,
better.
A
M
You
likely
know
buildback
better,
was
president
biden's
vision
for
economic
stimulus
and
and
economic
development,
and
was
to
be
at
at
first
just
a
trillions
and
trillions
of
dollars
that
has
been
pared
down
in
in
iterations
of
the
bill
and
in
negotiations,
and
just
as
you
know,
the
hope
was
that
this
would
pass
in
the
house
which
it
did
last
year
and
then
the
senate
would
pass
it
by
a
5150
margin
because
they
could
pass
it
by
budget
reconciliation,
which
essentially
is
just
because
it's
funding
they
would
not
need
us.
M
However,
the
moderate
senators
from
west
virginia
and
arizona
senators,
mansion
and
cinema
have
both
not
agreed
to
to
the
current
or
reiterations
of
this
of
this
bill
and
because
of
that,
they
wouldn't
even
be
able
to
reach
a
majority,
and
so
that
really
the
the
cards
are
in
their
hands
on
on
this
piece
of
of
legislation,
and
so
president
biden
did
acknowledge
last
month
that
likely
this
overhaul,
which
again
just
it's,
not
infrastructure,
it's
more
human
infrastructure.
M
So,
on
health
care,
education,
child
care
with,
like
the
child
tax
credit
and
also
subsidized
child
care
before
before
school
school
years,
and
then
a
lot
of
investment
in
climate
and
on
taxes
and
immigration
laws.
M
He
acknowledged
that
this
likely
won't
pass
in
its
current
form
and
would
have
to
be
sort
of
chopped
up
or
passed
in
pieces
and
the
most
likely
of
those
pieces
that
would
move
forward
would
be
titles
on
the
climate
and
energy
because
of
the
because
those
are
of
some
interest
to
senator
manchin
and
senator
cinema
in
terms
of
their
their
priorities
to
their
to
their
constituents.
M
They
are
certainly
you
know,
intent
on
still
moving
this
forward
in
in
in
different
iterations.
However,
the
recent
announcement
of
justice,
stephen
breyer
that
he
was
retiring,
is
going
to
take
up
a
lot
of
the
focus
for
the
rest
of
this
spring
and
summer,
because
the
hope
is
that
a
nominee
will
come
out.
They
will
have
hearings
and
they
would
be
they
will
be
put
forward
this
year.
So
that
is
where
we
are
with
buildback
better.
M
It's
certainly
not
how
I
think
the
leadership
in
the
senate
and
house
wanted
this
to
go,
but
they
are,
they
are
still
pushing
very
hard
to
move
pieces
of
it
next
slide.
Please.
M
So
then,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
finally,
as
status
update
of
where
we
are
at
with
the
just
the
normal
fiscal
year.
The
budget
is
supposed
to
pass
every
year
september,
30th
and
and
fund
that
fiscal
year.
However,
in
my
memory
we
I
we've
never
met
that
deadline
or
congress
has
never
met
that
deadline
and
instead,
typically
operates
on
a
continuing
resolution
until
until
differences
can
get
worked
out.
M
So
right
now
we
are
on
a
continuing
resolution
for
the
current
fiscal
year,
we're
operating
on
that
which
is
extends
till
february
18th.
Just
this
morning,
it
was
noted
that
that
they
will
likely
have
to
pass
another
continuing
resolution
through
march
11th
just
to
fund
this
year's
this
year's
spending
bills
and
and
over
a
government
shutdown.
M
So
that
will
likely
happen,
and
the
hope
is
is
that
that
bill
will
pass
and
fund
us
through
then
september,
so
that
we
can
get
going
on
the
on
next
year's
bill
or
this
year,
which,
which
would
start
again
october
1st
of
2022,
and
that
will
be
fiscal
year
2023.
M
and
just
wanted
to
note
that
congressionally
directed
spending
or
earmarks
which
the
city
participated
in
that
process
last
year,
the
ones
that
were
included
in
the
house
version
of
the
bill
and
then
other
pieces
that
were
supported
by
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Those
will
not
be
funded
until
an
agreement
on
this
fy
2022
package
is
is
met.
But
though,
at
this
point
they
are
expected
to
be
included
next
slide.
Please.
M
So,
on
fiscal
year,
2023
budget,
the
next
steps
that
we
anticipate
are
that
the
president
will
deliver
his
state
of
the
union
address
on
march
1st,
which
he
plans
to
then
outline
his
proposed
budget
congress
will
then
and
depending
on
where
they
are
at
with
the
current
budget,
will
then
follow
suit
and
the
house
subcommittees
and
senate
subcommittees
will
put
forward
their
plans
and
and
then
hopefully
meet
the
deadline
of
september
30th
or
then
likely
extend
for
continuing
resolution.
M
So
we
will
likely
participate
again
in
a
congressionally
directed
spending
process,
which
is
essentially
the
process
where
cities
and
local
governments
and
nonprofits
can
work
through
their
members
of
congress
to
request
projects
that
will
be
directly
funded
to
the
city.
So
it's
not
programmatic.
It's
not
grants.
It's
an
ear
mark
out
of
the
total
budget
that
funds
direct
projects
and
the
city
has
participated
in
this
process.
Over
the
years.
M
There
was
a
moratorium
from
2000
seven
until
2008
until
last
year,
and
that
process
just
started
again
so
looking
forward
to
working
with
staff
on
that
as
well.
Next
slide,
please.
M
So
those
are
the
four
big
pieces
that
I
wanted
to
cover
today
and
really
happy
to
answer
questions.
I
know
it's
a
lot
of
information.
We
are
working
very
closely
with
staff
on
a
daily
weekly
basis
to
make
sure
that
we're
pacing
on
all
of
these
changes
and
engaging
when,
when
necessary
and
advocating
for
the
city's
needs
so
happy
to
answer
questions
and
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
today.
B
B
I
am
not
seeing
any
so
thank
you
again
and
really
appreciate
all
of
your
work.
On
behalf
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
report
and
with
that
colleagues,
we
have
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee
today
and
hearing
no
objections.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
