no
complaints,
311
calls
or
police

associated
with
this

There
are
no

The
licenses
and
consumer

division
recommends
approval
of
an
on
sale,
liquor
with
Sunday
sales
and
limited
entertainment,
and
this
concludes
my
presentation
at
this
time.
I
will
stand
for.
A
I
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Karina
Rowe
I'm,
the
general
manager
of
the
France
44
event,
space
I've
worked
at
France
44
for
nearly
10
years
and
have
been
part
of
the
Education
team
and
events
for
quite
a
few
years
as
well,
and
so
this
is
just
one
more
step
into
that
realm
for
us
to
kind
of
expand
our
offerings
for
public
education
for
wine,
beer,
Spirits,
cheese
and
food,
but
also
public
other
events
and
private
events
as
well
and
corporate
Gatherings
as
well.
I
B
G
A
Opposed
that
item
is
approved.
We'll
now
move
on
to
item
number
nine
I'm
going
to
propose
that
we
have
a
staff
report
and
then
I
had
promised
Miss
gross,
that
she
could
speak
and
I
am
going
to
honor
that
promise
so
we'll
let
this
and
actually
I
I
think.
Maybe
three
people
could
speak
for
two
minutes
and
you
can
just
or
you
could
speak
for
six
minutes.
However,
you
decide
you'd
like
to
handle
it.
This
is
not
a
public
hearing,
so
people
other.
A
I
am
fine
with
that.
There's
not
that
many
people
signed
up
you
each
will
have
two
minutes
after
the
staff
presentation.
I'll,
keep
in
mind,
it's
not
a
public
hearing,
so
other
people
didn't
have
the
opportunist
gross.
A
It's
okay.
During
a
public
hearing,
that's
noticed
widely
in
the
public
and
people
who
want
to
speak
to
those
issues
are
told
to
come.
In
this
case.
Other
people
were
precluded
from
speaking
so
I
just
want
to
note
that
it's
not
like
an
official
public
hearing,
but
I
am
because
it's
not
a
long
group
of
people
out
of
respect
for
you,
I
am
going
to
let
anyone
that
was
on
this
list
and
I.
A
J
Good
afternoon
I'm
Alfred
Port
I'm,
the
director
of
housing
policy
and
development
at
the
Department
of
community
plan
and
economic
development.
I
come
before
you
with
several
recommendations
related
to
City
County
Joint
strategy
to
respond
to
homelessness
on
April
26
2002
2022
cities,
County
staff
presented
a
receive
and
file
report.
This
committee
outlined
your
joint
strategy
for
responding
to
homelessness
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
Today's
presentation
is
a
result
of
ongoing
discussions
between
staff
from
staff
from
both
entities
related
to
creating
efficiencies
in
the
delivery
system.
J
County
staff
approached
responding
to
a
persons
experiencing
on
shelter
homelessness
with
the
following
principles.
Everyone
experienced
experiencing
on
shelter,
homelessness
is,
is
vulnerable
and
deserving
of
being
treated
with
dignity
and
respect
and
in
accordance
with
their
rights.
Every
effort
must
be
made
to
connect
people
to
Housing,
Shelter
and
services.
J
Encampments
represent
a
serious
health
and
safety
risk,
particularly
for
those
staying
within
the
encampment
and
do
not
represent
a
dignified
form
of
shelter.
To
this
end,
the
best
carry
out
these
principles
in
an
efficient
and
effective
manner.
We
agree
that
the
county
should
lead
all
service
provision
and
the
city
should
support
capital
projects
that
help
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness.
This
is
led
by
seeped
and
then
uphold
its
regulatory
responsibilities
around
Land
Management,
which
is
led
by
Rec
services,
with
support
from
other
departments
to
implement
this
strategy.
J
The
first
recommendation
is
to
authorize
the
renewal
of
the
existing
mou
with
the
county.
Hennepin
County
and
the
City
of
Minneapolis
have
coordinated
the
responsibilities
for
managing
and
supporting
the
office
to
end
homelessness.
Through
a
series
of
memorandum
of
understanding,
the
mayor
has
proposed
75
000
to
support
the
office
to
end
homelessness
in
the
2023's
budget,
and
that
represents
nine
percent
of
the
Staffing
budget.
J
66
percent
of
that
is
supported
by
the
county
and
the
remaining
25
percent
is
funding
through
the
department,
U.S
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
The
current
memorandum
of
understanding
expires
on
December
31st,
2020,
2022
and
staff
recommends
to
mou
be
authorized
for
three
years
through
December
31
2025..
J
The
Federal
Emergency
Solutions
Grant
provides
annual
funding
to
the
city
that
may
be
used
for
a
variety
of
programmatic
purposes
related
to
homelessness
response,
including
essential
Services,
Street
Outreach,
rapid
housing
and
Capital
Improvements
in
2022.
The
city
received
nearly
950
thousand
dollars
through
the
regular
ESG
funds
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we're
coming
to
the
table
with
with
four
recommendations.
Essential
services
staff
recommends
that
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
ESU
funds
be
transferred
to
Hennepin
County
to
be
awarded
to
shelter
provided
provider
for
essential
Services
case
management.
J
J
Street
Outreach
in
September
2021
cpet
staff
and
collaboration
with
the
county
staff
released
an
RFP
for
three
hundred
thousand
dollars,
150
000
of
the
Federal
Emergency
Solutions
Grant,
and
a
required
match
which
we
used.
General
funds
to
match
those
those
funds
to
issue
an
issue.
An
RFP
and
we
selected
a
Vivo
to
provide
Street
Outreach
Services
through
December
2022.
J
City
also
used
some
of
the
emergency
stabilization
I
mean
emergency
Solutions,
Grant
coveted
dollars
to
support
aicdc
to
provide
similar
Services
through
March
of
2023
to
ensure
an
efficient
delivery
of
services.
Staff
recommends
that
the
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
transferred
to
Hennepin
County
and
they
enter
into
a
contract
with
a
Vivo
in
2023,
and
then
the
management
of
of
the
street
Outreach
contracts
be
transferred
to
Hennepin
County,
including
the
remaining
months
of
the
existing
of
Vivo
and
C
aicdc
aicdc's
contracts
under
rapid
re-housing.
J
As
a
result
of
this,
our
recent
rfps
tab
do
not
believe
that
we
should
be
using
the
ESG
funds
for
Capital
Service
Capital
needs
because
of
the
amount
of
resources
that
we
have
put
out
to
support
this
effort.
Instead,
staff
plans
to
allocate
nearly
six
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
dollars
to
Hennepin
County
for
Rapid
re-housing,
as
allowed
under
the
council,
approved
joint
Power,
Center
Powers
agreement
and
then,
lastly,
the
Aviva
Village
operations
we
have
provided
the
city
has
provided
two
trends
for
shelter
operations
in
2020
and
2021.
J
Avivo
has
received
funding
from
commit
funding
commitments
from
the
state
and
Hennepin
County
for
2023
in
an
amount
of
1.8
million
dollars
each
and
then
in
2024.
There's
a
commitment
of
1.8
million
dollars.
I'm
from
Hennepin
County
staff
recommends
directing
1.2
million
dollars
in
Community
Development
block
print
covet
dollars
to
fund
a
vivos
shelter
operations
recognizing
this
commitment.
This
means
that
our
combined
funds
will
reach
Aviva's
public
Target
of
3.6
million
dollars
in
2023,
but
fall
short
by
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
2024..
J
Staff
also
recommends
that
the
city
enters
into
a
joints:
power
agreement
with
Hennepin
County
for
Hennepin
County
to
manage
the
country
contract
with
a
Vivo
on
on
the
city's
behalf.
Hennepin
County
already
has
a
shelter
operations
contract
with
a
Vivo,
Village
and
Hennepin
County
has
the
staff
and
expertise
and
resources
to
manage
shelter
operations
contract.
J
B
Thank
you,
Mr
port,
for
this
presentation.
You
know,
I
I
know
that
a
lot
of
folks
are
in
the
room
here
to
address
the
closures,
but
I
wanted
to
get
your
opinion.
You
know
the
way
that
I
read
these
items
and
my
understanding
of
these
items.
Would
you
say
that
what
we're
here
voting
on
today
is
about
addressing
the
Upstream
Solutions
when
it
comes
to
the
underlying
reasons
that
people
end
up
out
on
living
in
an
encampment
or
living
out
or
end
up
houseless?
B
How
would
you
characterize
sort
of
what
we're
voting
on
here
today?
Just
because
I
know,
a
lot
of
people
have
a
lot
of
disagreements
and
they'll
speak
to
them
about
how
specifically
about
closures
and
yeah
sure.
J
Goodman
councilmember
Ellison.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
a
carryover
from
the
report
that
we
did
in
April
of
of
on
this
year.
We
are
trying
to
ensure
that
there
is
efficiencies
in
our
delivery
system,
for
us
to
Pro,
have
resources
and
provide
services
as
well
as
the
county
doing
same.
It
seems
to
us
that
it's
not
the
best
use
of
our
of
our
resources
so
trying
to
collaborate
and
bring
those
resources
together
where
they
are
better
suited
to
provide
the
services.
F
J
We
are
we're
asking
that
our
1.2
million
dollars
be
layered
with
Hennepin
County's
1.8
in
2024,
but
recognizing
that
in
2024
we're
talking,
1.2
plus
1.8,
that's
3
million
dollars
in
in
2023
is
3.6,
so
the
reference
there
was
it
where
the
Delta
between
those
two
Awards
would
be
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Great.
F
Thank
you
for
the
answer
and
I
I
do
see
a
representative
from
Vivo
Village
and
I'm
very
happy
to
vote
for
this
today.
So
thank
you
for
coming
down.
K
Was
on
me
I
just
did
it
right
now,
so
that
was
my
fault.
Thank
you,
chair
Goodman,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
director.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
folks
in
this
room
today,
who
are
mostly
here
to
in
response
to
the
recent
evictions
that
have
been
happening
here
across
Minneapolis,
but
I
do
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
good
work
that
was
presented
on
this
presentation.
K
The
Vivo
Villages
specifically
that
has
now
permanently
housed
100
people,
it's
a
big
celebration
that
I
think
a
lot
of
us
can
celebrate
here
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
and
it
shows
why
a
housing
first
approach
is
much
needed
here
in
Minneapolis
support
with
mental
health
support
addiction,
job
referrals,
a
bridge
to
housing,
an
approach
that
I
think
Minneapolis
can
be
leading
on
in
in
this
country.
K
I
know
that
my
office
is
working
closely
with
commissioner
Conley
Senator,
Forte
and
representative
Holden
Hassan
and
figuring
out
how
we
can
expand
that
funding,
whether
it's
through
of
evivo
or
different
organization.
So
we
can
build
a
a
tiny
Villages
here
in
South
Minneapolis.
That
I
think
is
very
much
desperately
needed
with
that
said,
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
I
do
have
one
specific
question
in
regards
to
the
first
item.
I
saw
that
it
said
one
I
was
very
happy
to
hear
the
engagement
component.
K
It
said
that
we
engaged
125
non-profits,
Faith
business
partners
and
other
government
entities,
as
I
was
reading
through
the
RCA
one
thing
that
I
missed
and
maybe
I
missed
it
on
my
end.
So
maybe
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
director,
it
didn't
mention
the
engagement
done
with
our
unhoused
houseless
or
homeless
individuals.
Can
you
explain
a
little
bit
of
the
engagement
through
these
contracts
that
we're
proving
today
that
we
have
done
with
our
on-house
community
members.
K
And
this
is
specifically
to
the
first
one,
which
should
be
the
agreement.
Extension
between
Hennepin
County,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
regarding
the
office
to
end
homelessness,
Dr.
M
Thank
you,
chair,
Goodman,
councilmember
Chavez.
Thank
you
for
questions
very
close
to
my
heart.
Yes,
the
engagement
with
people
with
lived
experience
of
homelessness
is
absolutely
Central
to
our
work.
I
would
actually
call
out
I
mean
the
work
of
Evo
Village
avivo
did
around
a
Viva
Village
in
the
development
of
It
Came,
very
much
in
community
Consulting,
with
people
on
what
kind
of
adjustments
were
needed
to
develop
a
kind
of
shelter
program.
M
The
people
who
had
historically
opted
out
of
what
existed
would
be
feel
able
to
opt
into
and
that
would
better
meet
their
needs
moving
forwards.
That's
but
one
example.
I
would
also
call
out
the
street
voices
of
change
advocacy
group
I
and
my
team
attend
their
meeting
on
at
least
to
buy
a
weekly
rotor.
M
They
developed
some
years
back
a
shelter
Bill
of
Rights,
which
has
become
kind
of
a
foundational
document
for
our
transformational
work
with
the
shelter
providers,
in
particular
when
we
brought
forward
recommendations
related
to
that
shelter,
Bill
of
Rights
that
the
County
Board
of
Commissioners,
the
street
voice
of
change
group
advised
us
that
our
number
one
priority
should
be
case
management.
That
shelters
are
not
the
answer
to
homelessness.
Housing
is
that
people
need
help
towards
long-term
solutions.
That
is
where
we
as
Hennepin
County
have
doubled
down.
M
You
heard
there's
one
of
the
items
within
this
package
is
essential.
Services
are
currently
funding,
Simpson
shelter
that
will
transfer
over
and
a
Hennepin
will
manage
alongside
our
own
contracts,
but
we've
also
expanded
our
own
case
management
team
to
more
than
30
people
who
are
just
closing
in
this
year
on
their
300th
person,
move
from
homelessness
to
permanent
housing.
M
So
that
really
arose
out
of
that
interaction
with
the
street
voices
of
change
group
along
the
way
we
have
developed
a
lived
experience,
Advisory
Group
and
a
youth
action
board
every
hiring
for
a
senior
position
in
my
team
and
every
funding
decision
we
take.
Now
we
make
sure
the
representatives
of
the
lived
experience,
Advisory,
Group
and
or
the
youth
action
board,
depending
on
the
focus,
are
a
part
of
that
decision-making
process,
so
that
is
really
at
Central
to
the
work
of
the
office.
M
K
You
so
much
thank
you
and
then
I
guess
my
last
question
I'll
try
to
make
it
simple,
but
it's
in
regards
to
maybe
you
director,
in
regards
to
these
contracts,
specifically
that
we're
approving
today.
Is
there
any
place
you
can
direct
me
towards
in
the
contracts
where
it
talks
specifically
about
encampments
I'm,
not
sure
that
mostly
I
know
where
councilman
or
Ellison
was
just
talking
about
the
high
level
approach.
K
Maybe
you
know
building
housing,
these
tiny
Villages,
but
is
there
anywhere
in
these
contracts
that
you
may
be
able
to
direct
me
towards
a
response
to
encampments
the
reason
I
guess
I
can
explain
a
little
bit
more.
My
my
reasoning,
I
know
that
part
of
helping
people
transition
to
permanent
housing
or
that
bridge
to
housing
is
making
sure
that
people
have
dignity.
One
thing
that
I
that
I
hope
in
these
contracts
or
the
work
that
we
can
be
doing
here,
is
people's
personal
belongings
and
the
reason
I'm.
K
Bringing
that
up
right
now
is
that,
right
now,
in
the
past
two
weeks,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
people's
personal
belongings
and
I
know.
This
is
not
your
work
director.
So
this
is
not
directly
towards
you:
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
a
place
on
this
contract
where
we
can
see
our
response
to
encampments
and
how
we
can
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
that
and
then
I
can
ask
a
few
questions.
Based
on
that.
A
We're
here
to
talk
about
these
contracts,
so
the
answer
is
either
yes
or
no,
and
if
it's
no,
then
that
I
don't
see
us
talking
about
the
issue
in
response
to
encampments
here.
So
if,
if
the
answer
is
yes,
please
share
that
with
us.
The.
J
Street
Outreach
the
work
that
our
street
Outreach
team,
as
well
as
our
engagement
with
our
partners,
do
Provide
support
to
individuals
in
unsheltered
spaces.
K
J
K
You
and
then
the
last
question,
I
guess
who
in
my
office
can
I
talk
to
I
guess
when
it
comes
to
these
specific
contracts,
I
know
we're
going
to
approve
them
today.
I
think
they're
great
contracts
to
begin
with,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
important
that
Council
offices
do
work
as
these
contracts
move
forward.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
my
office
can
set
up
a
meeting.
I,
don't
know
if
it's
director,
Brennan
or.
N
Thank
you,
chair
good
men,
I
have
a
series
of
questions,
and
you
can,
you
know
tap
in
the
the
right,
the
right
staff
to
answer
them,
as
as
we
go
through
them,
but
I'll
start
with
the
easiest
one
first
I
know
earlier
this
year
we
were
told
that
the
city's
homelessness
response,
work
and
encampment
response
work
was
being
Consolidated
under
regulatory
Services.
N
J
Chair
Goodman,
council
member,
the
the
reason
that
I'm
bringing
the
forth
this
these
recommendations
are.
These
resources
are
housed
within
the
housing
policy
and
development
budget,
and
these
are
contractual
relationships
and
thus,
on
my
my
bringing
these
forward.
N
Sounds
good,
thank
you
and
then
you
know
speaking
to
to
the
timing
of
these
items,
they're
coming
to
us
after
a
series
of
pretty
violent,
encampment
evictions.
That's
why
we
see
so
many
so
many
residents
joining
us
here
today.
N
Can
you
speak
to
why
these
items
are
coming
to
us
now
and
what
sort
of
relation
do
they
have
do?
These
items
have
to
the
city's
approach
to
encampments.
I
know
you
spoke
to
the
homeless
or
the
street
Outreach
team
as
one
of
those
pieces,
but.
J
Councilmember
Goodman,
chair,
I'm,
sure,
Goodman,
council
member,
the
timing
of
this
in
relation
to
encampment
closures
are
not
interrelated.
As
you
know,
the
process
in
which
the
the
reports
are
due
into
the
limbs
or
our
informational
information
management
system
pre-occurred
prior
to
the
closure
of
of
the
encampment.
J
So
the
timing
for
from
from
my
perspective,
ties
into
the
ongoing
discussions
that
we've
been
having
with
our
Hennepin
with
our
partners,
and
we
believe
that
the
recommendations
that
are
that
we're
bringing
forth
are
creating
the
most
efficient
and
most
effective
way
for
us
to
deliver
this.
This
service.
N
I
appreciate
that-
and
you
know,
I
can
I
can
see
and
understand,
especially
after
your
presentation,
the
importance
of
funding
these
Partnerships
with
Hennepin
County,
as
they
are
far
better
equipped
to
to
carry
out
this
work.
N
N
But
can
you
speak
to
the
cost
of
the
city's
other
response
to
encampment
work,
I?
Think
I'm,
particularly
interested
in
knowing
the
cost
of
encampment
evictions
and
where
those
dollars
are
are
allocated
is
that
within
cped
is
that
somewhere
else.
J
The
purpose
of
my
coming
year
today
was
to
bring
forth
these
recommendations
and
I'm
unable
to
speak
to
that
we
can
work
with
the
other
departments
within
the
city
and
Garner
that
information,
if
you,
if
you,
if
that's
a
desire,
thank.
N
You
yeah
I,
appreciate
that,
and
then
you
know,
since
coming
to
the
to
the
city,
I
know
I
have
another
council
members
have
been
repeatedly
told
that
you
know
straight
Outreach
workers
visit
each
encampment
resident
and
offer
services
and
connection
to
service
workers
and
providers
prior
to
carrying
out
if
an
eviction
of
of
that
encampment,
but
then
speaking
directly
to
encampment
residents.
N
There
are
countless
examples,
particularly
from
this
most
recent
round
of
evictions
of
residents
who
were
not
offered
Services
and
since
one
of
the
contracts
in
front
of
us
is
explicitly
about
Street
Outreach
workers,
I'm
wondering
if
you
might
be
able
to
speak
to
why
why
that
experience
has
has
changed
or
why
that
policy
or
practice
has
changed.
J
Goodman
councilmember
I
don't
believe
that
the
the
process
has
changed
here
there
there.
J
In
addition
to
our
the
the
contracts
that
that
are
before
you,
there
are
staffed
within
Rec
services
and
with
the
with
the
county
that
go
out
and
engage
individuals
in
these
spaces.
So
I
I'm
unable
to
speak
to
you,
know
the
details
of
of
what
occurred
in
with.
N
Regards
thank
you
and
then
getting
to
the
to
the
end.
I
just
have
one
or
two
more
questions
in
your
presentation.
N
You
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
I,
think
you
described
it
as
a
serious
health
and
safety
risk
that
encampments
pose
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
speak
to
the
health
and
safety
risks
of
encampment
evictions
and
I
bring
this
up
because
just
a
short
amount
of
time
ago,
I
had
extensive
conversations
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health,
in
which
they
shared
their
concerns
about
the
way
evictions
exacerbate
Health
outcomes
for
for
for
homeless
individuals
at
encampments,
and
particularly
the
way
in
which
evictions
exacerbate
the
HIV
and
AIDS
epidemic
among
homeless
individuals.
N
J
Chair
Goodman,
councilmember,
I,
think
I.
Think
your
choice
of
talking
with
health
was
sound.
I
believe
that
the
conditions
at
encampments
are
not
a
safe,
nor
is
it
healthy
for
for
for
individuals,
I
was
at
the
I
was
at
the
encampment
when
the
closure
occurred
and,
from
my
perspective,
I,
don't
believe
that
we
would
we
are
we
would
it
it's
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
allow
individuals
to
live
in
that
environment.
J
It's
it's
there
were.
There
were
rats
there
were
it
it?
It's
not.
It's
not
it's.
In
my
mind
that
was
not
true.
A
N
Your
turn
I'll
just
final
question
I
appreciate,
need
to
wrap
up,
and
then
can
you
speak
to
the
the
health
and
safety
risks
of
you
know:
governmental
response
Partners,
particularly
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
when
it's
when
it's
in
the
city
and
then
Hennepin
County,
not
having
not
bringing
in
emergency
like
water
and
sanitation,
resources
to
encampments
and
the
way
in
which
that
might
exacerbate
the
health
and
safety
risks
that
you're
detailing.
J
Chair
Goodman,
councilmember,
shaktai
I'm,
going
to
remind
us.
The
purpose
of
my
coming
year
was
to
speak
to
the
recommendations
that
I
brought
forth.
The
the
overarching
request
that
you're
making
I
I
would
prefer
that
we
have
this
conversation
in
more
detail
where
I'm,
better
equipped
and
bring
the
other
resources
that's
necessary
to
address
the
questions
that
you're
asking
I.
A
The
next
thing
we're
going
to
do
I
am
going
to
move
into
asking
the
six
people
who
signed
up
to
speak
earlier
to
each
have
two
minutes.
The
order
in
which
you
signed
up
is
the
order
in
which
I
think
it's
appropriate
for
you
to
speak.
I'll
read
the
names
of
the
people
who
are
on
the
list.
It
starts
with
Miss
gross,
then
miss
nazad,
Mr,
Hobbs
I'm.
A
Just
want
to
let
them,
let
me
finish
the
list,
if
that's
okay,
Ms
Groves,
Mr,
Atkin
and
Ms
means
so
that
would
be
the
six
people
who
are
speaking
you
each
have
two
minutes.
I
think
you
might.
E
For
a
second
listen
when
we
as
when
this
meeting
started
at
the
time
this
meeting
started,
another
encampment
was
being
raided
and
shut
down
that
encampment
held
10
families
who
are
on
waiting
lists
to
get
into
these
services
that
you
all
are
supposedly
going
to
apply
funding
for,
and
it's
a
good
thing
that
you're
going
to
apply
funding
for
these
services.
But
they
are
not
the
answer.
We
cannot
have
people
wandering
the
streets
sleeping
on
sidewalks
in
unsafe
conditions,
while
they
wait
a
year
or
longer
for
these
Services.
E
It
is
important
that
we
allow
encampments,
especially
the
encampments
of
five
encampments
that
have
been
shut
down
the
last
week
and
a
half
some
of
them
had
curfews.
Some
of
them
had
stores
for
people
to
get
what
they
needed.
There
was
safety
built
in
people
form
encampments
because
they
need
safety
and
they
do
it
in
groups,
and
it.
E
Minneapolis
Police
to
shut
these
listen
to
how
they
shut
down
the
encampment
on
the
Bloomington
and
28th.
They
walked
up
to
the
tents
at
the
crack
of
dawn
and
sliced,
their
tents
open
with
a
knife.
Now,
if,
if
you
didn't
like
something,
I
was
doing,
you
couldn't
take
a
wrecking
ball
to
the
side
of
my
house
and
knock
a
hole
in
there.
How
the
hell
is
the
city?
Okay,
doing
this
stuff,
we
have
to
stop
the
Minneapolis
Police.
G
L
B
E
Give
this
space
now
and
I'm
going
to
take
them
and
I'm
telling
you
something
now,
but
Minneapolis
Police
has
got
to
be
stopped.
You
know
what
is
happening
with
what
they're
doing
through
these
encampments
is
disgusting.
It's
horrible!
How
do
you
go
up
to
somebody's
housing,
the
only
housing
they
have
the
first
night
of
the
coldest
night
of
this
year
and
you're,
going
to
slash
the
hell
out
of
their
tent
leave
them
without
a
tent
sleeping
bags,
their
medication,
their
IDs?
E
All
of
this,
this
is
contact
by
our
Minneapolis
Police
I'm,
a
taxpayer
in
this
goddamn
town.
I
am
not
okay.
With
this,
the
Minneapolis
Police
have
to
be
stopped
and
then,
when
people
are
asking
them,
what
are
we
supposed
to
do?
They
say:
go
get
in
the
shelter
people
are
calling
up
the
shelter
hotline.
There
are
no
beds,
there's
nowhere
for
people
to
go.
They
told
people.
If
we
see
you
on
27th
Street
East
of
Bloomington
you're
getting
arrested
for
your
existence,
not
because
you
committed
a
crime.
What
do
they
expect
people
to
do?
E
A
E
E
L
L
Me
and
a
team
of
organizers
reached
out
to
these
guys
formally
incarcerated
guys
and
were
able
to
get
them
temporarily,
housing
and
also
legal
representation
and
new
jobs,
because
better
Futures
were
employing
most
of
their
jobs.
We
have
a
list
of
Demands.
We
need
these
guys
who
was
this
place
security
deposits
by
Hennepin,
County,
parole
office
and
better
Futures,
who
had
a
contract
with
Hennepin
County?
We
need
their
deposits
returned
immediately.
We
need
emergency
funding
for
these
guys.
They
were
promised
permanent
placement
through
better
Futures.
We
need
them
permanently
placed.

Q
Q
People
should
not
have
to
camp
on
the
steps
of
City
Hall
to
have
attention
on
the
inhumane
practices
of
the
city
of
the
MPD
of
the
county,
but
that's
what
it's
taken.
People
should
not
have
to
spend
their
time
in
this
chamber
trying
to
be
heard,
trying
to
make
it
through
in
Robert's
Rules
right
to
be
able
to
have
basic
housing
and
their
Humanity
respected.
Q
But
that's
where
that's
right,
but
that's
where
we're
at
right
now
so
I'm
here
speaking
to
you
today,
both
as
representatives
of
Business
Development
and
economic
development,
because
the
best
thing
you
can
do
for
the
economic
development
of
this
city
is
to
get
everyone.
Housing
and
the
best
thing
you
can
do
is
to
reverse
gentrification
and
council
members
check
Tai,
Ellison,
Chavez
I,
see
you
out
there,
fighting
council
members,
goodvin
and
rainbow
I
know
you
have
the
ear
of
the
mayor.
Q
You
all
have
the
power
to
create
change
here
today
and
it
shouldn't
take
all
of
these
people
standing
up
here
to
be
heard
right
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
you
know
it's
budget
season
right.
You
all
know
I'm
all
about
the
budget,
and
we
had
the
cped
representative
up
here
talking
about
1.8
million
dollars
for
Aviva
right
guess
what
percentage
that
is
of
the
MPD
budget.
Anyone
yeah
one
percent,
one
percent.
Q
A
R
Hello,
my
name
is
Damon
Hobbs
I've
been
homeless
for
probably
five
six
years
now.
My
first
encampment
was
28th
and
Hiawatha.
That.
L
R
and
Metro
Police
Department
decided
to
fence
us,
they
took
away
our
privacy,
they
took
away
our
freedom
and
they
continuously
shut
down
our
camps.
R
R
R
It's
not
right,
it's
not
fair.
We
do
know
that
we
have
to
do
better
as
a
community,
but
we
can't
do
it
if
we're
forced
to
look
bad.
You
know
like.
R
P
Two
minutes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
My
house
currently
is
residing
on
the
front
steps
of
this
building
right
now,
as
we
speak,
everything
I
own
I,
don't
even
have
shoes
on
right
now
is
being
taken
by
the
police.
We
are
being
evicted.
We
are
given
a
notice
that
says:
there's
no
camping
or
sleeping
on
City
Hall
property
I'm,
not
camping,
I'm
living
here,
because
the
city
provides
nothing
in
resources.
P
P
All
of
us
have
a
right
to
be
housed
to
have
a
place
where
we
can
raise.
Our
family
is
a
place
where
we
can
rest
our
heads
a
place
where
we
can
even
just
have
resources
available
to
us,
but
every
time
the
police
come
especially
in
the
encampment
evictions,
where
they
come
in
force.
A
hundred
officers
in
with
SWAT
support
coming
to
evict
a
dozen
people
in
tents
who
have
nothing
and
they
take
away
every
belonging.
They
have,
they
have
five
minutes.
They
can't
take
their
tents,
which
is
the
only
shelter
we
have.
P
People
are
dying
out
here,
the
if
you
are
at
any
of
these
encampments
and
you
see
what
happens
after
an
eviction
notice,
and
you
see
the
amount
of
of
pain
and
addiction
that
just
increases
to
Crazy
levels
and
people
are
dying
out
here,
because
there
is
no
support
when
55
in
seven
days,
and
that
is
directly
related
to
what
is
going
on
here.
You
are
putting
your
money
and
faith
in
organizations
that
are
not
really
informed
by
people
who
they're
trying
to
serve.
If
you
give
someone
something
they
don't
need.
P
Is
that
a
good
thing?
It
isn't
it
becomes
trash,
it
becomes
something
they
don't
they.
They
can't
do
anything
with.
You
need
to
ask
people
who
are
out
here
what
works
for
them.
You
need
to
find
dignified
housing
that
has
nothing
to
do
that,
isn't
dependent
that
isn't
dependent.
We're
going
to
move
on
to
you
know
a
question:
where
can
I
go
I'm
here?
There
is
nowhere.
I
can
legally
rest
today,
there's
nowhere.
I
can
go
to
sleep.
There
is
nowhere.
P
G
P
M
P
E
E
Those
three
evictions:
last
week
we
called
there
was
not
a
single
bed
to
be
had
in
the
county.
S
L
E
S
Of
all,
my
name
is
Angelique
Marie,
bowmaster
and
I
met.
Two
of
you,
I
know
personally
for
sure.
Just
recently,
first
thing,
I
got
to
say
is
I'm
all
about
facts,
not
fictions,
and
the
facts
are
this
right.
Remember
that
young
gentleman
was
up
here
saying
they
offer
places
to
put
your
your
belongings
and
stuff
like
that.
It
is
fiction
because
the
facts
are
only
today
less
than
an
hour
before
I
met,
you
guys
is
the
first
time
that
was
ever
offered
to
any
of
us
and
that's
not.
Okay.
S
Another
fact
is,
do
what
you
say:
bottom
line
good,
bad
right
or
wrong.
If
you
can't
make
it
happen,
tell
somebody
you
can't
make
it
happen.
I
know
for
facts
that
me
and
probably
I,
don't
know.
24
other
people
helped
out
we'll
go
all
the
way
back
to
the
park
board.
Okay
and
then
it's
the
city's
problem.
Then
it's
the
County's
problem.
Then
it's
the
state's
problem,
it's
all
of
our
problems.
This
is
everybody's
problem
and
something
there
needs
to
be
a
change.
S
Maybe
the
change
could
be
these
people
over
here
thinking
they
know
everything.
Maybe
they
should
come
down
to
earth
and
speak
and
engage
with
people
and
actually
let
them.
You
know
what
I
mean
help
us
help
you,
so
we
can
have
a
better
future
for
everyone.
I
mean
you
guys
understand
that
help
us
help
you
guys
for
a
better
tomorrow.
It's
not
about
typically
me
or
my
children,
but
my
grandchildren,
my
great-grandchildren.
S
O
A
S
The
resources
that
the
people
at
the
North
North
Loop
encampment,
had
to
make
money.
You
guys
stole
and
nobody
will
tell
us
where
they
are
okay.
These
were
resources
that
had
10
people,
doing
Lawns,
doing
snow
removal,
everything
and
nobody
can
tell
us
where
they
are,
and
why
is
that?
S
E
E
O
Hi
y'all
just
keep
returning
to
the
same
strategies
handling
this
issue.
Instead
of
coming
to
the
table
with
the
community,
you
do
not
listen
to
the
community
who
actually
have
real
world
solutions
for
this
because
they're
in
it
they
live
it
and
you
don't
want
to
listen.
How
can
you
and
to
the
sir
that
was
speaking
earlier?
How
can
you
judge
undignified
when
you
give
nothing
and
Destroy
everyone's
belongings?
O
Why
do
you
spend
money
on
fences
in
loudspeakers
and
and
all
these
anti-homeless
measures,
like
all
the
leading
benches,
the
Bobcats
everything
hundreds
of
thousands
on
these
evictions
on
encampments,
that
we
pay
for
I
do
not
want
to
pay
for
genocide.
On
my
neighbors,
it's
genocide.
It's
acts
of
genotype.
This
is
stolen
land,
a
majority
of
homeless
people
are
people
of
color
indigenous.
This
is
not
fun.
O
B
So
I
I'm
I'm,
committed
to
staying
after
I'm,
committed
to
staying
after
we
and
I
want
to
listen
to
every
single
one
of
you
guys
that
are
down
here.
Thank
you
guys
for
coming
here
today.
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
before
we
lose
Quorum
that
we
make
sure
that
we're
this
is
this.
These
here
are
some
of
the
Upstream
Solutions.
It's
not
everything.
B
B
The
public
I
mean
but
I
once
we
that'll
happen,
no
matter
that'll
happen,
no
matter
what,
if
we
lose
Quorum
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
gonna
make
the
motion
I'm.
B
Item
nine
and
then
I
and
then
I
will
I
will
come
and
listen
to
the
rest
and
I'll
ask
the
clerks
to
call
the
roll
I
want
to
make
sure
we
get
through
this
before
we
lose
Quorum,
because
then,
then
testimony
will
be
over
either
way.
