This
time
I
will
call
on
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
B
F
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
am
very
excited
to
read
this
resolution
today,
honoring
a
long
time,
city
leader
mike
kennedy
for
all
of
his
contributions.
I
am
just
quickly,
maybe
I'll,
just
and
okay,
there
we
go.
I
have
to
get
the
resolution
up
on
my
screen,
but
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
it
was
in
my
eight
and
a
half
years
mike
has
been
just
a
really
great
leader
within
the
public
works
department.
F
He
has
provided
a
ton
of
stability
to
that
department
over
time
where,
in
eight
and
a
half
years,
we've
seen
a
number
of
different
public
works
directors
cycle
through,
and
his
team
under
his
leadership,
has
consistently
shown
up
to
ensure
that
our
city
is
safer,
healthier
and
more
prosperous,
as
people
are
able
to
get
around.
Particularly
most
of
you
know
him
from
his
role
when
it
comes
to
snow
and
ice
removal
across
the
city
being
that
we
are
a
winter
city.
This
is
an
incredibly
incredibly
important
role
to
play.
F
Maybe
you
haven't
had
a
ton
of
interaction
with
mike,
but
for
those
of
us
that
have
been
around
a
while,
he
is
always
so
responsive
and
so
accessible
and
is
willing
to
share
a
lot
of
detail
and
provide
that
detail
in
a
way
that
respects
and
informs
those
who
receive
it,
whether
it's
constituents
or
whether
it's
policymakers,
so
they
can
come
to
their
own
conclusions
based
off
all
the
information,
so
he's
been
very
responsive,
great
communicator
and
really
worked
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
providing
his
solid
of
service
and
high
quality
of
services
possible,
and
so
he
is
leaving
some
big
shoes
to
fill
over
in
public
works
and
we're
certainly
better
off.
F
And
frankly,
everyone
in
the
city
is
better
off
as
a
result
of
his
leadership
over
this
time,
and
you
know
I
attended
mike's
retirement
party
yesterday
over
at
our
hiawatha
campus
and
I
have
to
say
how
fun
it
was
to
hear
all
of
these
stories
from
those
that
really
got
to
work
with
him
day
in
and
day
out
and
just
the
the
person
behind
all
of
this
work
right
and
it
was
pretty
cool
and
I'll
share.
An
anecdote
that
I
don't
think
is
captured
in
the
resolution.
F
But
that
mike
happens
to
be
of
his
hobbies
is
growing
extremely
large
pumpkins,
like
500
pound
pumpkins,
which
I
thought
personally
is
pretty
impressive
and
pretty
cool
to
learn
about
interest
like
that,
and
so
it
is
a
an
honor
to
be
able
to
share
this
resolution
with
you
all
which
I
will
now
read.
F
And
whereas
mr
kennedy
supervised
the
care
and
permitting
of
several
city,
plazas
and
green
spaces,
including
the
lowering
greenway
pv,
plaza
chicago
mall,
pioneers
and
soldiers,
memorial,
cemetery,
the
35w
triangle
and
the
35
w
bridge
memorial.
And
whereas
mr
kennedy
was
a
member
of
the
american
public
works
association.
F
Winter
maintenance
subcommittee
for
nearly
20
years
served
on
the
nicolet
mall
advisory
board
for
17
years
before
it
was
incorporated
into
the
downtown
improvement
district
and
taught
a
class
for
the
last
15
years.
At
the
minnesota
chapter
of
the
american
public
works.
Association's
public
works
leadership,
academy
and
whereas
mr
kennedy
will
be
deeply
missed
by
the
city's
elected
officials
and
fellow
members
of
the
public
works
department.
F
I
know
if
we
were
in
committee
chambers
today.
B
There
would
be
a
loud
thunderous
applause
for
mr
mike
kennedy
for
his
dedicated
years
of
service
to
the
city,
to
the
residents
of
this
city
and-
and
I
I'm
just
gonna,
hold
my
my
congratulatory
remarks
until
we
hear
from
council
member
goodman.
E
Just
really
really
upset
personally
devastated
that
someone
who
has
been
so
instrumental
to
the
city
could
actually
think
about
retiring,
because,
ultimately,
the
term
public
service
is
what
mike
kennedy
has
been
all
about.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
him
for
all
of
my
20-something
years
on
the
city
council,
most
directly
on
the
nicolet
mall
advisory
board,
and
he
was
one
of
the
most
instrumental
players
in
turning
that
into
the
d.I.d.
E
But
I've
also
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with
him
on
nicolette
mall,
the
I-35
memorial,
pv,
plaza
and
all
of
the
public
plazas
and
open
spaces
that
he
has
been
in
charge
of.
But
what
makes
mike
so
incredible
and
unique
is
that
he
has
grown
a
team
of
wonderful
people
who
have
taken
his
commitment
to
public
service
to
a
whole
new
level
and
everyone.
I've
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with
on
his
team
has
carried
on
that
spirit
of
public
service
that
we
often
don't
hear
enough
about.
E
People
who
came
to
the
city
30
years
ago
did
so
because
they
wanted
to
work
for
the
public.
Mike
is
an
engineer
he
could
have
worked
for
any
kind
of
engineering,
consulting
firm
or
left
us
to
do
so
and
make
more
money
years
ago,
but
instead
he
has
committed
almost
his
entire
professional
career
to
making
sure
that
the
citizens
and
visitors
and
workers
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
had
a
great
experience.
E
E
I
am
personally
devastated
that
he's
retiring,
but
I
do
understand,
because
I'm
away
at
a
funeral
today
that,
if
you
don't
leave
while
you
can
and
care
for
your
family
and
friends
and
remember,
what's
important
work,
isn't
everything
and
and
mike
is
entitled
to
be
able
to
leave
at
the
highest
of
all
possible
notes,
because
his
commitment
to
the
city
is
really
the
kind
of
leadership
that
others
in
public
works
have
embraced
and
taken
on.
E
These
are
folks
who
have
worked
during
the
pandemic
and
during
the
most
difficult
of
times
in
the
worst
of
weather,
where
more
people
yell
at
them
than
give
them.
Congratulations
mike
has
risen
above
all
of
that
and
trained
an
incredible
team
of
people
in
public
works
that
do
this
work
on
a
daily
basis
to
carry
on.
I
wish
you
the
very
best
my
friend,
you
have
been
the
fixer,
the
consoler,
the
leader
that
we
have
asked
you
to
be
for
all
of
these
years.
E
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
goodman,
and
I
don't
see
anyone
else
in
queue
at
the
moment.
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
as
the
as
kirk
carl
indicated
at
the
top
of
the
call
top
of
the
meeting
that
everyone
is
having
some
significant
computer
challenges
and
councilmember
johnson's
internet
went
out,
I
hope
he
is
going
to
be
able
to
rejoin
us
very.
D
B
B
All
right,
I'm
not
sure,
what's
going
on
there,
but
my
your
your
commitment
to
keeping
the
city
moving
in
the
most
challenging
of
times
is
beyond
commendable,
and
sometimes
I
I
I
think
it
is
pretty
close
to
miraculous.
I
mean
you
know.
We
have
had
snow
events
that
just
pile
up
day
after
day
after
day,
and
yet
the
city
of
minneapolis
continues
to
function.
B
I
have
been
in
other
cities
and
when
it
snows
two
or
three
inches
the
entire
town
shuts
down-
and
I
I
have
never
witnessed
that
in
minneapolis
in
my
40
plus
years
of
living
here,
and
so
I
I
know
you
have
been
at
the
helm
of
that
for
a
number
of
those
years,
and
I
can't
thank
you
enough.
Congratulations
on
your
tremendous
service
to
the
city
and
and
all
the
things
that
council
member
goodman
named
as
well
as
councilmember
johnson
anytime.
B
I've
called
you
with
a
constituent
complaint
regarding
snow
or
ice
or
sidewalks.
You
were
have
always
been
able
to
provide
a
rational,
detailed
explanation
of
what
is
going
on
if
it
was
a
mishap.
We
have
gone
back
out
and
taken
care
of
those
issues,
and
that
is
a
testament
to
your
leadership
and
commitment
to
the
city
and
its
residents,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
sir
and
yeah.
B
I'm
sure
you're
going
to
have
grow
a
lot
more
500
pound
pumpkins
in
the
future.
Congratulations-
and
I
will
offer
councilmember
johnson
opportunity
to
finish
up
his
remarks.
F
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
My
apologies,
mr
kennedy.
Internet
connection
issues
are
a
hazard
of
this
virtual
world
that
we
are
in,
so
I
hope
I
I
was
able
to
get
through
all
of
the
resolution
there
before
finishing
off
by
saying
you
know
it's,
unfortunately,
because
this
virtual
world
we're
not
in
person,
but
I
know
that
if
we
were,
we
would
have
the
entire
room
standing
and
applauding
your
service
right
now.
It
truly
is
remarkable
and
truly
is
commendable
and
appreciate
all
of
it
and
wish
you
all
the
best
moving
forward.
B
G
Well,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
president,
and
members
of
the
council.
This
is
actually
quite
overwhelming.
G
G
I've
just
enjoyed
working
with
you
all
over
the
the
years,
some
of
you
it's
been
many
many
years
and-
and
I
sorry
that
I
won't
have
a
chance
to
work
very
much
with
the
the
new
council
members,
because
there's
still
lots
of
work
to
do
and
I'd
be
happy
to
to
help
out
councilmember
goodwin.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
kind
words.
G
It's
always
been
an
adventure
with
you,
but
I've
always
really
enjoyed
working
with
you.
It's
been
great.
We
have
done
a
lot
of
really
good
things
to
help
people
and
that's
what
we're
all
here
about.
Also
thank
you
for
reminding
everybody
that
I
don't
do
this
alone.
G
G
I
I've
always
thought
of
working
with
everybody
and
including
you
to
do
what
we
do
for
this
city
and
it's
it's
just
been
a
pleasure.
So
thank
you
very
much
to
all
of
you
for
the
very
kind
words.
I
wish
you
the
best
of
luck
and
moving
this
city
forward.
G
B
Thank
you
mike.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
service,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
public
works
director
anderson
kelleher
is
on
the
call,
but
if
she
is,
I
would
offer
her
an
opportunity
to
share
some
remarks
as
well,
and
I
see
she
is
on
the
call
so
director
you
have
to
applaud.
H
Madam
president,
thank
you
so
much
and
I
want
to
just
say
that
I
was
really
heartbroken
when
I
agreed
to
come
to
the
city
and
then
almost
immediately,
they
told
me
mike
kennedy's
retiring.
He
is,
he
is
the
definition
of
public
servant
and
I
think
that
yesterday
we
had
a.
H
We
had
a
staff
level
celebration
for
him
and
it
was
really
so
touching
to
hear
so
many
people
talk
about
what
he
had
as
the
measure
for
himself
to
be
a
good
boss,
and
I
think
every
single
person
in
that
room
knows
mike
that
you
have
been
the
best
boss
and
they
appreciated
your
leadership.
I
met
a
president.
I'm
just
gonna
read
a
couple
excerpts
from
a
couple.
H
Other
directors
who
worked
with
mike
quickly
and
I
can't
read
the
whole
thing
because
you
know
there's
references
to
really
fun
things
too
so,
but
I'm
gonna
first
read
an
excerpt
from
robin
hutchinson
and
what
she
wrote
to
mike
a
little
highlight.
H
So
robin
wrote
that
first
of
all,
of
course,
wishes
for
mike's
retirement
and
really
fond
memories.
She
wrote
some.
Some
of
these
experiences
were
quite
funny,
most
of
them
about
your
loyalty
to
the
department
and
the
people
of
minneapolis.
H
Not
only
did
you
lead
the
best
team
in
the
country
you
took,
the
heat
like
nobody's
business
minneapolis
is
forever
better
because
of
your
work
here
and
you
leave
a
lasting
legacy
of
people
who
will
continue
your
principles
of
service
and
fairness,
and
that
was
from
former
director
robin
and
then
one
of
his
longest
serving
directors
that
he
served
with,
and
we
also
learned.
H
I
think
I
think
it
was
right
that
steve
kotke
helped
recruit
you
to
the
city
or
you
recruited,
steve
kotke,
to
the
city,
and
so
I'm
just
going
to
read
this
paragraph
mike
you've
been
a
great
engineer
and
an
excellent
executive
level
manager
for
the
public
works
department.
H
B
Absolutely
comments
are
very
well
deserved,
and
so
thank
you
once
again,
mr
kennedy
and
next
on
our
agenda.
We
have
a
resolution
honoring
the
2022
international
transgender
day
of
visibility,
and
I
will
share
that
resolution
and
colleagues
and
residents.
You
know,
as
we
know
this
past
few
years
have
been
really
challenging
for
our
transgender
communities,
particularly
young
children,
who
are
being
attacked
at
in
multiple
state
legislatures,
as
well
as
at
the
federal
government
level,
including
our
own
state.
B
And
you
know,
we
must,
as
a
community,
stand
with
these
young
people
with
their
parents
and
families
and
with
all
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people.
And
some
of
you
may
be
aware
that
in
november
it
is
transgender
day
of
remembrance.
B
It
is,
in
its
previous
term,
the
city
of
minneapolis
made
history
as
the
first
city
in
the
united
states
to
have
two
black
openly
transgender
council
members
elected
to
his
body,
and
whereas
minneapolis
was
the
first
city
in
the
united
states
to
ban
discrimination
based
on
transgender
identity
when
it
amended
its
civil
rights
ordinance
in
1975
by
adding
language
banning
discrimination
based
on
having
or
projecting
a
self-image
not
associated
with
one's
biological
determination
at
birth
and
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
continued
to
make
efforts
to
reduce
the
significant
disparities
in
employment,
health
care,
safety,
housing
and
access
to
public
spaces,
as
well
as
all
other
areas,
largely
through
the
transgender
issues.
B
B
It's
something
I
never
imagined
when
I
came
out
over
30
years
ago
as
a
transgender
person
that
I
would
even
be
accepted
into
society
at
all,
let
alone
being
able
to
access
and
be
a
part
of
the
some
of
the
most
important
discussions
that
this
city
has.
It
is
beyond
measure
the
the
impact
that
I
think
my
elevation
to
this
role
will
have
on
future
generations,
and
it
is
my
hope
that
not
only
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
people,
but
all
people
be
themselves
be
their
authentic
selves.
B
That
is
the
message
that
I
share
with
all
the
young
people
in
my
life
and
the
that's
the
message
that
I
will
lead
for
young
people
as
they
try
to
make
their
way
through
this
world
today,
and
so
thank
you,
colleagues
for
for
this
opportunity
to
to
lift
up
the
transgender
day
of
visibility.
I
I
I
The
resolution
recognized
ramadan
is
important,
because
muslims
can't
count
on
days
that
are
important
to
us
being
on
holidays
on
the
calendar.
So
it's
it's
powerful.
It
is
so
it
is
powerful
and
important
for
us
to
see
the
city
recognizing
what
is
such
a
holiday
important
to
us
for
us
in
addition
to
this
resolution
in
support
of
ramadan,
we
are
also
publicizing
that
the
call
to
prayer
can
be
broadcasted
in
minneapolis.
I
It
was
all
legal
for
our
muslims
and
mosques
can
broadcast
a
call
to
prayer
between
the
time
is
permitted.
J
Thank
you
so
much
and
and
madam
president,
and
thank
you
so
much
and
council
de
jamal
osman
and
all
councils
council
members
and
distinguished
attendees
of
this
meeting.
My
name
is
yusuf
abdullah,
and
I
am
the
director
of
islamic
association
of
north
america
and
we
have
our
office
here
right
here
in
minneapolis.
I
am
actually
now
speaking
from
the
office
in
on
hiwata,
I'm
35,
and
not
that
far
from
the
you
know
the
city,
the
city
of
the
the
center
of
the
city.
J
So
we
really
appreciate
and
very
thankful
to
the
council
members,
the
president
and
everyone
else
on
this
opportunity
of
recognizing
the
month
of
ramadan
the
muslim
is
in
existence
and
and
and
the
right
to
practice
their
religion,
their
faith.
Like
any
other
faith
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
it
is
a
great
city,
it's
a
very
diverse
city,
and
now
it
is
the
time
to
show
more
of
that
of
diversity,
especially
at
the
time
of
ramadan.
J
It
is
very
important
for
us
as
muslims
and
to
commemorate
and
remember
those
who
are
have-
and
you
know
less,
to
eat
those
who
are
thirsty.
Those
who
are
suffering
and
to
recognize
the
humanity
and
the
human
suffering
and
to
be
empathetic
about
that,
and
that
is
the
whole
purpose
of
fasting
in
the
months
of
ramadan,
and
it's
also
a
great
opportunity,
and
I'm
really
I'm
very
excited
and
delighted
that
we
are
welcoming
this
ramadan
with
the
support
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
allowing
the
muslims
to
call
for
adam
a
call
to
prayer.
J
A
call
to
prayer
is
a
spiritual
call,
and
that
shows
inclusion.
The
muslims
are
included,
celebrated,
are
welcomed
and
respected
and,
like
anyone
else
are
you
know
and
feeling
home
that
we
are
home
here
is
home.
Minneapolis
is
home
and
minneapolis
is
the
leader
of
all
the
cities
in
the
states
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
So
we
are
really
very
grateful
and
thankful
to
all
of
you
that
this
ramadan
will
be
able
to
call
for
adam
out
loud
and
open,
and
also.
J
And
I
will
I'm
very
delighted
and
excited-
and
I
really
thank
everyone
here
who
work
and
on
this
resolution
and
put
efforts
in
it,
and
I
hope-
and
this
will
add
a
value,
a
greater
value
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
it
will
show
a
for
a
a
good
and
inclusion
of
of
all
neighbors
into
the
process
of
living
together
in
prosperity,
peace,
love
and
harmony.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
really
appreciate.
B
Thank
you.
Iman
abdullah,
and
I
will
recognize
council
member
chuck
tai
to
offer
some
remarks.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wanted
to
you
know
I
wanted
to
start
by
actually
thanking
council
member
for
bringing
this
resolution
forward
today.
I'm
really
proud
to
be
a
muslim
person
on
this
council
and
be
one
of
three
muslims
serving
in
this
council,
a
historic
number
that
we've
never
seen
before.
K
You
know
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
ramadan.
If
that's
okay,
you
know,
I
know
we.
We
frequently
talk
about
ramadan
as
a
time
for
reflection,
a
time
for
us
to
look
inwards
at
where
we
are
and
how
we
got
here
and
and
where
we
want
to
go.
K
It's
also
a
time
for
reflection
as
a
community,
and
I
have
always
found
ramadan
to
be
a
time
to
practice
self-discipline,
it's
a
as
a
as
a
child
who
moved
around
all
of
the
time
and
felt
very
disconnected
from
the
concept
of
community
ramadan
and
being
a
part
of
the
muslim
faith
and
being
a
part
of
something
that
is
bigger
than
me.
That
was
my
lifeline.
K
That
was
my
connection
to
this
community
and
it
always
has
been-
and
I
know
it's
that
for
so
many
people
in
our
community-
and
you
know
adan
and
call
to
prayer.
It
is
it's.
What
brings
us
into
the
world
right
when
muslim
children
are
born?
The
first
thing
we
do
is
we
read
on
to
them
and
when,
when
they
pass
away,
we
do
the
same
thing,
and
so
we
come
into
this
world
with
with
call
to
prayer.
We
leave
this
world
with
call
to
prayer.
K
We
start
every
morning
at
fajr
morning,
prayer
with
with
that
same
call,
and
we
end
each
night
in
that
same
way,
and
so
that's
the
significance,
I
think,
of
of
what
adan
or
call
to
prayer
really
means
in
our
community,
and
I'm
really
thankful
for
the
work
that
you
know.
K
Council
member
swan
has
done
in
in
bringing
that
into
the
conversation
we're
having
in
the
city
and
in
this
council
right
now-
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
a
really
big
deal-
that
we
have
been
able
to
figure
out
that
in
this
city
it
has
always
been
legal
to
do
adan
during
the
daytime,
and
I
know
that
that's
not
enough.
I
know
that
we
haven't,
we
don't
have
fajr
yet,
and
that
is
how
we
start
our
day.
K
That
is
how
we
start
our
lives
and
I'm
really
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
my
muslim
colleagues,
our
our
muslim
community
and
all
other
council
members
and
our
mayor
and
our
city
administration,
and
you
know
our
state
government
on
making
this
right
so
that
it
is
okay
to
be
muslim
any
time
of
day,
so
that
we
tell
our
children
that
we
are
willing
to
fight
for
them,
and
we
tell
our
community
that
we
actually
do
belong.
K
So
I
wanted
to
just
add
that
in
here
and
and
bring
bring
those
words
just
to
say
that
I
think
it's
a
big
deal
that
we
are
doing
a
resolution
today
and
and
putting
a
statement
out
saying
that
we
support
this
muslim
community.
I
hope
the
next
step
is
backing
that
up
with
policy
and
backing
that
up
with
action,
and
I'm
I'm
just
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
and
with
this
community
and
with
with
jamal
and
jeremiah
on
making
it
happen.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
also
wanted.
I
wanted
to
just
go
on
record
and
you
know
share
my
appreciation
of
both
council
member
osman
councilmember
thai,
for
your
beautiful
words
and
your
testimony
here
today,
and
you
know
just
bringing
this.
You
know
resolution
forward.
I
know
that
many
of
the
constituents
in
my
ward,
as
well
as
my
staff,
is
really
appreciative
of
having
a
resolution
that
honors
their
most
sacred.
L
You
know
aspects
of
their
lives
and
for
our
city
to
also
show
that
we
value
the
diversity
that
you
know
encompasses
our
city
and
our
very
diverse
communities,
and
to
make
space
for
that
even
with
you
know,
allowing
recognition
for
the
need
for
prayer.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all,
for
you
know,
ushering
our
city
into
you
know
or
sending
a
again
these
new
standards,
so
what
it
means
to
have
a
vibrant
and
equitable
multi-racial
democracy
is
initiatives
like
this.
That
really
affirms
it.
L
So
thank
you
both
for
making
this
happen.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
next
and
q
is
council
member
chavez.
M
Thank
you
so
much
madam
chair
and
imam,
and
I
just
want
to
really
thank
my
colleagues,
councilmember
osman,
councilmember
chug,
working
together,
we're
in
and
and
and
and
working
with
me
and
and
and
and
really
councilmember
osmond's
leadership
on
this
is
has
been
tremendous.
M
I
know
that
when
I
first
came
on
to
the
council,
councilmember
warsami-
and
I
you
know
we
we
joked
about
you
know
now
we
finally
have
a
muslim
caucus
on
the
council
and
and
and
we
never
really
made
too
much
about
it.
M
You
know
it
was
kind
of
just
this
thing
that
was
that
was
kind
of
said,
but
but
maybe
understated
between
us
and
now
here
we
are
a
few
years
later
and
we
have
a
legitimate
caucus
here
that
wants
to
work
together
that
wants
to
se
and
and
and
customer
warsaw,
and
I
work
work
together
really
well,
but
just
not
on
these
issues,
and
so,
if
it
wasn't
for
councilmember
osmond's
leadership
and
councilmember
chittai
sort
of
pursuing
this,
you
know
I
I
think
that
I
would
have
even
remained.
M
I
would
have
allowed
my
faith
to
be
something
that
continues
to
go
known,
but
understated,
and
this
has
really
challenged
me
even
to
to
be
more
open
about
it,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
celebrating
our
community
here
to
make
sure
that
ramadan
is
not
just
something
that
I'm
going
through
or
that
we're
going
through
quietly
in
the
in
the
halls
of
of
city
hall
here.
M
But
it's
something
that
that
our
city
is
sharing
it's
an
experience
and
that
it's
an
experience
that
our
city
is
sharing
with
us.
And
so
again.
Just
want
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
for
their
support
and
especially
just
want
to
lift
up
my
gratitude
for
the
leadership
of
of
the
muslim
caucus
here
with
councilmember
osman
and
councilman
chipton.
B
Thank
you
councilmember,
and
I
just
put
myself
in
queue
and
and
I'll
be
very
brief.
You
know
just
wanna
just
note
that
this
you
know
this
resolution
and
and
the
previous
one
and-
and
so
many
others
throughout
our
term,
really
illustrates
how
important
representation
is
representation
matters,
and
so,
when
we
have
diverse
communities
represented
in
these
spaces,
we're
able
to
elevate
the
the
the
issues.
B
The
concerns,
the
the
joys,
the
challenges
that
these
communities
are
facing
and
bring
them
into
an
awareness
so
that,
as
a
councilmember
chuck
thai
indicated,
we
can
begin
to
create
policies
and
and
programs
and
initiatives
to
to
continue
to
integrate
and
move
those
communities
forward.
Next,
I
will
call
on
council
member
chavez.
N
N
O
And
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
very
quick
welcome
to
joseph
and
thank
you

taking
your
time
this
morning
to
speak
with
us
on
behalf
of
all
the
muslim
friends
of
the
third
ward,
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
make.
I
I
want
to
say

this
resolution

I
especially
want
to
shout
out
to

become
a
very
good
friend
and
helps
me
understand
the
issues
that
are
important
to
the
muslim
community
in
my
ward.
So

B
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,
for
that
report.
Is
there
any
discussion,
and
I
do
see
councilmember
johnson
in
queue
to
speak,
to
item
number
29.
F
B
I
I
certainly
will
pull
that
I
do.
I
will
ask
my
colleagues:
are
there
other
items
that
we
would
like
to
pull
for
discussion
and
if
so,
we
can
maybe
pull
those
now
and
take
separate
votes
on
those
items.
Noting
that
item
number
29
has
been
full,
are
there
any
others.
B
Motion
by
council
member
ellison,
excluding
item
29,
so
we
will
colleagues
will
be
voting
on
items
one
through
28
and
30.
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll.
B
Thank
you,
council
membership.
N
Thanks
president
jenkins
and
claire
casey
carl,
I
just
want
to
get
clarification
on
the
message
on
the
chat.
I
do
know
that
I'm
going
to
be
voting
against
item
number
26.
So
is
it
in
your
favor
that
we
pull
it
out
or
just
say
that
I'm
gonna
vote
for
one
through
25
and
vote
against
26..
I
just
wanted
clarification
on
the
message
on
the
chat.
C
Madam
president,
I'm
fine
with
that
single
item
being
a
difference
on
the
role.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
checking.
B
Thank
you
councilmember
chavez
and
clerk
carl,
and
so
we
will
continue
with
our
roll
call
on
items
1-28
and
item.
C
Council
member
chavez.
D
O
I
D
B
B
Second,
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
johnson
to
delay
the
the
vote
on
item
number
29
properly.
Second,
it
and.
F
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
share
my
reasoning
for
this
and
my
requested
colleagues
on
this.
So
just
the
other
day
at
our
pogo
committee,
we
had
a
very,
very,
very
lengthy
presentation
with
really
tremendous
levels
of
detail
in
it
related
to
this
contract,
our
labor
negotiation
process.
All
that
I
really
commend
our
labor
director.
I
thought
it
was
an
unprecedented
level
of
transparency
for
the
public
and
insight
into
this
process.
F
That
said,
it
was
also
less
than
48
hours
ago
that
that
presentation
happened.
It
was
approximately
two
hours
long.
It
is
a
lot
of
information
to
digest
and
not
surprisingly,
there
are
a
lot
of
follow-up
questions,
including
some
that
I
will
say.
I
personally
want
to
take
into
consideration
around
the
vote
on
this
as
we're
doing
these
follow-ups.
I'm
guessing
many
of
my
colleagues
today
are
probably
ready
to
vote
on
this,
and
I
certainly
appreciate
that.
F
I
also
think
this
contract
is
one
that
has
been
heavily
watched
and
scrutinized
by
the
public
and
was
frankly
a
major
point
of
conversation
amongst
the
public
and
policy
makers
and
candidates
for
office
last
year,
and
so
I
do
think
it
makes
sense
to
give
the
public
a
little
more
time
to
digest
all
of
the
information
to
engage
with
their
council
members.
With
additional
comments
to
ask
follow-up
questions
as
well.
I
think
that's
a
courtesy
we
should
extend
to
the
public.
F
In
this
case
this
is
a
two-week
delay,
and
that's
so
I
think
the
impact
would
be
minimal
and
also,
I
think,
not
allowing
that
time
for
more,
essentially
the
public
to
review
that
information
and
to
engage
with
us
also
has
an
impact
as
well
at
a
time
where
trust
is
very
important
around
this
topic,
and
so
I
would
encourage
my
colleagues
to
support
this
just
so.
We
can
make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
chance
to
review
this
information
in
full.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
madame,
oh,
not
on
camera
here.
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
also
want
to
just
say
I
will
be
supporting
the
the
res
the
motion
that
councilmember
johnson
is
bringing
forward
today.
I
want
to
know
you
know
for
the
public
record,
I
did
bring
a
motion
to
pogo
to
allow
a
public
comment
period
along
with
the
delay
as
well,
but
that
failed,
but
I'm
more
than
happy
to
support
this
avenue
for
allowing
some
very
you
know,
I
think,
crucial
public
input
on
one
of
the
most.
L
You
know
monumental
tools
of
accountability
that
we
can
have
right
now,
especially
being
almost
two
years
out
from
the
the
murder
of
george
floyd
by
npd
and
the
the
historic
uprising
that
followed.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
councilmember
johnson
on
strengthening.
You
know
future
processes
around
how
we
allow
the
public
to
weigh
in
on
our
contracts,
but
really
excited
that
we
can
have
this
motion
on
the
floor
today
to
really
allow
that
public
necessary
public
feedback
on
this,
this
very
important
contract.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
wesley
rolabar,
councilmember,
chad,.
K
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
I
just
wanted
to
quick
speak
to
council
member
johnson's
motion
here
today.
K
You
know
I
personally
will
just
add
that
I
know
a
lot
of
us
asked
really
thorough
questions
that
reflected
the
public
engagement
that
we've
received
from
our
constituents
on
on
the
on
the
context
and
the
the
contract
and,
what's
in
front
of
us,
I
will
say
I
remember
asking
really
specific
questions
that
required
follow-up
from
our
our
labor
relations
director
on
the
record
and
again
this
was
less
than
48
hours
ago.
K
I
think
you
know
director
atkinson
has
done
an
excellent
job
of
coming
to
our
committee
and
of
of
doing
his
job
to
the
best
of
his
ability,
and
I'm
really
appreciative
of
him
and
and
all
of
the
work
that
he
did
on
on
this
contract.
I
think
that
it's
it
you
know
he.
K
I
have
not
received
follow-up
to
questions
that
I
believe
are
very
important
regarding
the
the
decision
making
here,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
I
plan
to
to
support
council
member
johnson's
motion
just
wanted
to
flag
that
we
did
ask
specific
questions
on
the
public
record.
K
We
did
ask
for
follow-up
on
those,
and
I
know
I
haven't
received
that
and
that
isn't
to
hold
anybody
at
fault,
it's
just
to
say
like
it
they're
they
haven't
had
reasonable
time
to
do
all
of
the
other
things
in
their
day-to-day
jobs,
our
staff
and
and
also
provide
that
type
of
follow-up.
So
I
want
to
give
our
staff
that
that
time
too,.
B
Thank
you
house,
member
chuck,
councilman
mccaskey.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
appreciate
and
understand
councilmember
johnson's
need
to
give
the
community
more
time
to
learn
and
understand
and
give
comment
on
the
tentative
agreement.
This
agreement
was
brought
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
on
march
7th,
and
I
I
supported
a
postponement
for
two
weeks,
then
to
allow
for
transparency
and
space
for
the
community
to
learn,
understand
and
comment.
It
was
really
important
to
me
that
we
had
all
of
that
time.
D
So
in
the
days
since
our
last
decision
to
postpone
the
ward
11
office
had
nine
opportunities,
both
in
person
and
virtually
between
my
community
meetings,
neighborhood
meetings
and
in
open
office
hours
to
connect
and
discuss
this
tentative
agreement.
Those
nine
meetings
gave
the
community
time
to
ask
questions
and
give
comment.
D
In
addition,
we
have
received
dozens
of
emails
and
voicemails.
In
regards
to
this
tentative
agreement.
I
have
listened
cared
and
I
have
taken
the
time
to
understand
the
community's
perspective.
I
also
had
the
time
to
meet
with
the
director
of
labor
three
times
in
the
past
two
weeks.
So
at
this
time
I
believe
that
we
are
in
a
space
where
we
can
take
a
vote
on
this
tentative
agreement
today.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
time.
I
appreciate
it.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
mccoskey.
Is
there
any
other
folks
in
cube.
B
Cnn,
you
know
I
will.
I
will
just
note
that
I
am
challenged
to
support
councilmember
johnson's
motion
and
I
did
support
the
the
the
motion
to
postpone
and
and
we
had
that
we
had
a
presentation
from
our
labor
relations
staff
that
I
did
think
was
very
thorough
and
informative.
B
B
This
contract
is
over
two
and
a
half
years
overdue,
and
I
believe
that
as
a
council,
we
can
work
together
to
create
more
transparency
and
processes
for
community
engagement
and
involvement
in
our
labor
negotiations
as
we
move
forward,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
a
delay
today
is
going
to
impact
or
or
or
change
the
the
information
that
we've
already
received,
and
so
with
that
stated,
I
will
go
ahead
and
ask
to
call
a
role
on
council
member
johnson's
motion
to
postpone.
D
P
L
C
P
B
So
that
motion
fails,
and
so
now
we
will
move
to
the
to
item
number
29,
which
is
the
labor
contract
with
mpd.
Is
there
any
discussion.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
right
now
and
share
that
I'll
be
voting
against
this
contract.
L
This
is
the
first
vote
on
the
contract
since
george
floyd,
as
I
noted
as
someone
who
did
not
run
on
police
reform
but
ran
on
public
safety
beyond
policing,
you
know,
even
I
recognized
that
this
contract
was
the
opportunity,
as
we
were
told
by
many
of
those
some
of
you
who
ran
on
police
reform
as
well
as
the
mayor
that
this
contract
would
be
one
of
the
areas
in
which
we
could
create
new
standards
of
accountability
for
all
of
our
law
enforcement
personnel
and
the
contract
that
we're
about
to
vote
on
is
not
reflective
of
that.
L
It
makes
no
changes
to
disciplinarian
actions,
no
changes
to
misconduct
and
the
idea
that
we're
just
recruiting
or
using
this
as
a
tool
to
recruit
more
officers
to
address
low
staffing
levels,
without
also
considering
the
fact
that
through
pogo,
we
are
literally
paying
out
millions
of
dollars
every
two
weeks
because
of
the
failures
of
our
law
enforcement
officers
to
uphold
their
oath
to
serve
and
protect
everyone
equitably.
L
So
it's
this
contract
is
even
inherently
anti-reform
for
those
who
believe
that
is
the
pathway
towards
delivering
a
new
and
better
model
of
public
safety
to
our
residents
and
also
knowing
that,
as
someone
with
a
labor
background,
it's
very
clear
that
this
contract
and
those
at
the
bargaining
table
missed
a
very
key
opportunity,
including
our
mayor,
and
I
know
this
is
now
a
holland
he
came
in
halfway
through.
But
it's
really
unfortunate
that
you
know
for
two
years
the
community
shared
all.
L
That
says
that
mpd
will
strive
to
be
better
at
race
and
equity,
and
that's
just
also
a
slap
in
the
face
of
any
idea
that
you
know
we
can
move
forward
with
completely
overhauling
mpd.
So
I
just
want
to
say
you
know.
However,
people's
voting
on
this,
like
knowing
this
such
a
new
standard
for
the
world
right
now
that
is
watching
minneapolis
and
how
we
move
forward
on
our
public
safety
initiatives.
L
How
do
we
come
or
rise
above
from
the
ashes
that
that
you
know
trans
scented
across
the
city
in
the
wake
of
george
floyd,
and
I
do
not
want
to
vote
for
a
contract
like
this
that
will
essentially
put
more
blood
on
every
one
of
our
hands
because
we
failed
to
do
anything
to
reign
in
one
of
the
most
dysfunctional
police
departments
in
the
country.
So
I
hope
people
take
that
into
account
when
you're
voting
for
this,
but
I
absolutely
will
not
be
supporting
this
contract
today.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah.
I
wanted
to
thank
director
atkinson
on
helping
walk
me
through
the
process
that
has
brought
us
here,
and
it
has
been
many
years
in
the
making.
I
want
to
echo
some
of
the
sentiments
that
council
member
onesie
warlock
has
shared
around
this.
This
negotiation
happened
before
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
and
it's.
Q
What
we're
voting
on
today
is
an
agreement
that
is
completely
blind
to
the
reality
of
what
we
just
lived
through
over
the
last
two
years,
and
I
really
do
think
that
we
are
at
a
crossroads
when
it
comes
to
the
future
of
public
safety
in
our
city,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
complexity
to
this-
that
we
really
need
to
address
that
wasn't
addressed
in
the
negotiations
of
this
contract
happened
in
january
of
2020,
and
what
I
would
really
like
to
see
going
forward
is
some
sort
of
way
to
bring
the
realities
that
we
lived
through
over
these
last
two
years
into
our
next
agreement.
Q
If
this
is
a
yes
or
no,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
as
an
evolution
to
how
we
are
approaching
labor
relations
and
the
police
department
is
more
robust
accountability
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
really
helpful
for
director
atkinson
to
walk
me
through
was
how
how
discipline
is
managed
when
we
come
to
these
contract
agreements
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
really
informative.
Q
Is
that
the
best
way
to
manage
our
policies
around
discipline
are
in
documents
outside
of
the
contract,
so
that
we
can
have
a
continuous
learning
and
a
continuous
improvement
approach
to
that.
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
see
to
support
a
contract
is
a
robust
set
of
supporting
documents
to
really
deliver
on
the
accountability
that
we
still
have
not
addressed
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
and
so
my
hope
today
is
that
we
can
start
this
process
of
really
evolving
this.
This
contract
negotiation.
Q
B
Thank
you
councilmember
next,
thank
you.
It's
councilmember,
osman.
I
Oh,
thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
have
learned
a
lot
about
public
employee
laws
during
this
process
and
knowing
more,
doesn't
really
make
me
any
happier
to
take
this
vote.
Of
course,
there's
much
about
this
contract.
That
leaves
us
that
leaves
me
wanted
more,
but
talking
to
our
director
and
and
others
and
having
the
time
to
review,
we
don't
get
the
leverage
to
deny
the
contracts.
I
We
send
the
city
arbitration
process
that
is
binding
and
which
doesn't
really
promise
any
better
outcome.
In
my
opinion,
I'm
voting
yes,
but
I
will
be
considering
many
more
things
that
I
have
learned
through
this
review
and
process,
and
I
will
consider
and
worked
on
oversight
of
potential
departments
of
public
safety
and
police
departments
and
continuing
to
find
a
way
to
have
a
department
that
serving
for
our
community
and
making
it
better
every
day
to
keep
our
community
safe
and
just
yep.
I
That's
all
I
have
to
add
and
thank
you
so
much
appreciate
it.
M
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'll
be
voting
against
the
contract
today
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
spell
a
few
of
them
out
here.
You
know
we
ask
our
staff
to
give
us
a
competent
work
product
within
the
paradigm
that
exists
and
holland.
Atkinson
has
done
that
here,
the
the
task
of
changing
that
paradigm.
M
That's
our
job,
that's
the
council's
job,
and
I
believe
that
we
owe
it
to
our
constituents
to
take
a
vote
today
to
begin
the
work
of
changing
that
paradigm,
and
I
believe
that
it
will
be
difficult
a
vote
today.
I
I
fear,
sets
up
future
councils
to
be
in
the
exact
same
position
that
we
are
today.
I'm
hearing
that
my
I'm
reading
that
my
camera's
not
on
there's
no
obstruction
in
it.
M
So
I'm
I
apologize
if
people
cannot
see
me
what's
to
prevent
future
council
in
2025
or
2026
from
being
in
this
exact
same
scenario,
where
negotiations
have
stalled,
where
we've
sort
of
reached
an
impasse
and
and
and
and
we're,
and
they
are
voting
for
a
contract
with
the
promise
that
the
next
one
will
be
better.
But
the
next
one
is
where
the
the
real
work
will
begin.
The
substantive
work
will
begin.
M
I
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
say
if
we
do
not
like
the
contract
that
is
before
us,
we
will
vote
it
down,
because
if
we
don't
take
that
step,
then
we're
proving
that
we
never
will
actually
vote
a
contract
down
if
it
doesn't
meet
the
terms
that
our
community
has
been
asking
for.
That
councils
have
been
asking
for
and
and
in
that
sense
we
will
continue
to
perpetuate,
I
think,
a
status
quo.
M
I
do
think
that
there
are
reasonable
good
governance
reasons
to
vote
for
the
contract.
I'll
admit
that
here,
but
I
think,
all
of
those
reasons
still
land
us
right
back
where
we
are
now
in
the
future.
M
Our
opportunity
to
do
something
real
and
substantive
on
the
contract
is
here.
I
know
that
binding
arbitration
is
a
scary
prospect
for
for
all
of
us,
but
we
don't
know
that
it
will
produce
a
worse
outcome
than
what
we're
getting
here.
We
don't
know
that
for
a
fact,
and
I
think
that
we
are
teaching
both
the
community
future
councils,
certainly
the
police
federation-
that
we
will
approve
anything
that
they
put
before
us.
M
So
for
that
reason,
so
that
we
can
hopefully
begin
to
change
this
paradigm
hopefully
begin
to
strengthen
our
our
position
on
the
contract
into
the
future.
I'm
going
to
be
voting
against
this
today.
M
The
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
we
have
heard
a
lot
about
what
people
hoped
to
get
from
this
contract.
We've
heard
a
lot
about
what
people
hope
to
get
out
of
our
relationship
with
mpd,
as
some
of
my
earlier
colleagues
noted
is
not
the
greatest
relationship
right
now
and
potentially
it's
never
been
the
greatest
relationship
between
the
city,
our
community
and
mpd.
M
M
Some
of
that
doesn't
rest
on
the
contract
alone,
but
I
do
think
that
we
are
putting
ourselves
in
a
position
to
perpetuate
the
status
quo
well
into
the
future,
not
only
for
future
council
members
but
for
future
labor
relations,
directors
and
given
how
short
these
turnarounds
are,
you
know,
hopefully,
holland
is
still
at
the
helm,
because
I
think
that
he's
done
a
great,
a
great
job
here,
but
again
it's
his
job
to
produce
a
competent
work
product
within
the
paradigm
that
exists
and
he's
done
that
it's
our
job
to
change
that
paradigm,
and
I'm
urging
that
we
do
that
here.
M
So,
thank
you
so
much
and
that's
all
I
have
for
today.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison
and
I
did
put
myself
in
queue
and
I
will
state
up
top
that
I
will
be
voting
to
support
this
contract
today
and
I'm
voting
to
support
this
contract
because
we
have
been
at
the
table
negotiating
with
this
labor
union,
this
this
bargaining
union,
for
over
two
and
a
half
years.
B
Many
of
the
items
that
had
that
led
to
the
impasse
that
put
us
into
mediation
were
absolutely
the
recommendations,
the
desires,
the
hopes,
the
dreams
that
we
heard
from
community
that
we
asked
our
labor
negotiators
to
bring
into
the
conversation
and
we
reached
the
impasse.
B
I
I
think
you
know
that
we
go
if
this
contract
is
voted
down.
It
goes
to
arbitration
yeah,
there's
no
guarantee
that
we
will
lose
anything
but
there's.
B
We
absolutely
know
that
we
won't
gain
anything
from
it.
It
at
this
point
in
the
negotiation
voting
down
the
contract
to
me
seems
like
a
symbolic
gesture,
and
we
this
is
not
the
moment
for
that
symbolism.
We
must
work
together
to
create
a
process
to
get
community
input
to
have
that
level
of
transparency
that
people
are
hoping
for
into
the
future
at
the
next
on
the
next
union
contract
and
those
negotiations
will
begin
the
moment.
This
contract
is
adopted
discipline.
B
You
know,
someone
mentioned
the
george
floyd
incident
and
accountability.
Those
officers
were
held
accountable.
Those
officers
are
serving
time
in
jail.
Those
officers
have
been
convicted
of
federal
civil
rights
crimes,
and
so
there
has
been
accountability.
In
that
instance,
there
have
been
several
other
instances
where
there
has
been
little
or
no
accountability.
B
However,
in
the
past
five
years
we
heard
from
the
mayor
from
our
labor
directions
from
the
former
chief
that
there
has
been
discipline
and
enacted,
and
so
many
of
the
officers
that
potentially
would
have
been
disciplined
have
since
left
the
force.
B
B
I
believe
that
managerial
control
is
probably
our
best
option
for
discipline,
because
when
we
put
discipline
in
the
contract,
then
that
takes
away
our
flexibility
to
continue
to
grow,
evolve
and
develop
discipline
disciplinary
actions
as
they
are
as
they
arise,
and
so
for
that,
for
those
reasons
you
know,
I've
talked
to
labor
experts
from
around
the
country.
B
Members
here
in
the
in
the
city-
and
I
think
rejecting
this
contract
has
potential
for
other
labor
relations
issues
to
arise
and
I'm
not,
I
don't
think
that's
healthy
for
our
city,
and
so
I
see
in
cube
council
members,
johnson,
wesley,
worlabot
and
chuck
thai.
So
I
will
turn
the
floor
over
to
councilmember
johnson.
B
F
You
and
like
others,
I
have
found
this
one
to
be
challenging
this
contract.
That's
before
us
and
just
to
state
up
front,
I
will
be
supporting
this
contract
today,
though,
as
councilmember
osman
noted,
I'm
not
happy
about
it
I'll
state.
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
pay
our
employees
competitively,
and
that
goes
for
officers
as
well
they're
out
there
responding
to
calls.
F
They
are
a
needed
part
of
our
public
safety
system
in
my
opinion,
and
we
should
be
paying
them
competitively,
and
so
that's
not
the
issue
that
I
take
with
this
contract,
and
I
also
think
it's
worth
noting
as
well
that
at
a
time
of
mass
hiring
that
we
really
do
want
the
best
candidates
possible
to
come
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
to
apply
for
jobs,
and
so
I
think
this
is
an
important
component
of
that
as
well.
F
I
will
say
it's
not
without
some
regret
that
this
contract,
or
particularly
the
bonuses,
are
moving
first
without
bonuses
that
have
also
been
identified
for
firefighters,
our
9-1-1
operators
and
the
other
front
line
workers
in
our
city
who
have
gone
through
so
much
during
the
pandemic.
F
I
am
committed
to
fighting
for
bonuses
for
those
employees
as
well
and
for
all
of
our
employees
who
have
stepped
up
and
taken
on
so
much
more
over
these
past
two
years.
They
deserve
bonuses
as
well,
and
I
hope
that
they
know
that
they
have
people
on
the
council
fighting
for
them
in
that
process,
whether
that's
the
arpa
funding
or
through
our
other
contract
negotiations.
F
I
will
say
my
issues
with
this
contract
are
due
to
the
lack
of
substantive
change
in
it
in
terms
of
the
actual
discipline
measures
or,
more
specifically,
managerial
authorities.
You
know
they're
this.
F
This
contract
has
been
billed
in
some
cases
by
elected
officials
as
a
nearly
impenetrable
barrier
to
holding
officers
accountable
for
instances
of
racism
or
bad
behavior
in
the
fact
that
there's
such
little
change
in
this
that
it's
just
very
minor
language
tweaks,
I
think,
is
extremely
concerning,
and
I
understand
the
public
being
upset
about
it
or
many
members
of
the
public
being
upset
about
it,
and
I
am
as
well.
F
I
also
wanna
lift
up
what
councilmember
payne
said
about
the
fact
that
this
was
negotiated
before
george
floyd
was
murdered
and
so
you're
not
seeing
reflected
in
the
scope
everything
that
we
have
gone
through
over
the
last
two
years.
However,
I
will
note
that
certainly
the
police
department,
as
an
institution's
performance
and
instances
of
police
violence,
were
certainly
issues
before
george
floyd
was
murdered
as
well
and
were
absolutely
a
part
of
the
conversation
too.
I
will
say
the
meeting
the
other
day
at
pogo
was
extremely
illuminating.
F
I
encourage
members
of
the
public
to
take
the
time
to
watch
that
two-hour
meeting.
Some
of
the
things
that
are
that
were
highlighted
on
the
record
at
that
meeting
that
are
factored
into
my
vote
today
is
the
fact
that
voting
no
does
not
send
this
back
to
the
bargaining
table.
F
F
In
terms
of
the
language,
I
also
want
to
point
out
a
very
important
fact
that
was
raised
in
that
pogo
meeting,
which
is
that
the
feedback
provided
by
council
members
by
the
mayor
to
our
labor
negotiation
team,
the
decisions
over
which
of
those
changes
or
amendments
we'd
like
to
see
in
the
contract.
Those
decisions
were
not
made
by
elected
officials.
F
I
think
that's
really
critical
and
important
to
highlight,
because
I
think
that
shows
or
demonstrates
one
of
the
opportunities
that
exists
moving
forward
patients
in
order
to
ensure
that
the
community's
voice
and
perspective
is
reflected
in
these
contracts,
as
well
as
creating
a
process
to
actually
capture
community
feedback
which
council,
member
onesie,
warloba,
and
I
are
working
on
and
have
some
draft
language
together
and
will
be
pursuing
moving
forward
is
what
does
a
process
look
like
to
capture
amendments
that
the
community
would
like
to
see
so
that
they
can
be
fully
vetted
and
considered
and
brought
into
the
conversation
at
city
hall
in
the
most
formal
manner
possible.
F
I'd
also
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention,
though
I
can't
mention
specific
details
about
it,
but
that
we
did
have
a
closed
session
related
to
the
contract
and
what
was
shared
in
there,
even
though
I'm
not
allowed
to
speak
about
it.
F
What
is
certainly
on
my
mind
today
in
terms
of
the
advice
and
guidance
that
we
received
in
considerations,
I
want
to
wrap
up
and
finally
say
this:
I
think
the
contract,
while
it
is
important
and
it
doesn't
matter-
is
also
way
too
often
used
as
the
scapegoat
for
failures
of
management
and
failures
of
leadership
to
hold
bad
behavior
the
hold
officers
responsible
for
their
bad
behavior
in
a
consistent
way.
I
do
believe
that
will
come
out
in
and
I'm
guessing.
I
don't.
F
I
obviously
haven't
seen
the
reports,
but
I'm
guessing
that
will
be
in
the
reports
that
we
ultimately
see
from
the
investigations
both
from
the
department
of
human
rights
and
the
department
of
justice,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
consistently
emphasize
that
fact
or
focus
on
that
fact
that
you
know,
while
this
contract
matters,
it
is
also
not
a
substitute
for
an
involved
management
involved
leadership
that
holds
officers
accountable
in
a
consistent
way
when
they
are
misbehaving
or
when
they
cause
harm
within
our
community.
F
L
I
will
note
that
I
really
hope
my
colleagues
who
ran
and
championed
police
reform
will
take
the
opportunity,
after
you
vote
in
favor
of
this
contract,
to
really
either
say
you're
actually
for
police
reform
or
if
this
is
really
not
what
you're
serious
about,
and
I'm
saying
this
very
directly,
because
I'm
not
seeing
a
shipping
goal
post
around
what
this
contract
is
and
what
it
isn't.
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
deflection
about
this
contract
will
not
usher
in
the
reforms
that
is
necessary
to
overhaul
our
very
dysfunctional
police
department.
L
Right
now-
and
I'm
saying
this
is
a
shifting
goal
post,
because
I
want
to
read
a
quote
from
a
letter
that
I
know
all
of
y'all
received
last
night
from
a
former
actual
mayoral
candidate
about
how
even
in
2020
mayor
frye,
went
on
good
morning
america
and
said
I
quote:
we
have
difficulty
both
terminating
and
disciplining
officers
and
then
getting
that
termination
or
discipline
to
stick.
He
then
goes
on
to
say
the
elephant
in
the
room.
L
Councilmember
councilmember
rainville,
I
was
speaking.
I
have
the
floor.
There's
no
attacks,
I'm
reading
a
direct
quote.
Please
do
not
interrupt
me.
I
will
never
interrupt
you
during
your
speaking
portion.
So
thank
you.
Let
me
finish
seb.
Let
reset
finishing
that
sentence.
The
elephant
in
the
room
is
the
police
union
is
the
collective
bargaining
agreement.
L
So
basically
there
has
been
a
shifting
goal
post
around
this
contract
has
actually
been
a
barrier
to
reforms
that
I
think
many
of
us
have
said
that
we
want
to
see
happen
within
mpd
and
now
we're
saying
that
no.
This
sets
us
up
to
do
the
opposite,
and
I
know
there's
only
a
couple
of
us
on
council
who
has
a
labor
background,
but
I
also
do
know
and
working
very
extensively
for
unions
for
quite
some
time
is
that
arbitration
will
not
set
us
up
to
get
the
opposite
of
what
we
want.
L
We
have
full
oversight
as
council
to
shift
how
our
negotiations
team
go
into
arbitration.
By
saying
that
we
do
not
support
the
lowest
threshold
you
can
set
for
one
of
the
most
dysfunctional
departments
and
staff
that
we
have
right
now
that
even
since
george
floyd
have
went
on
to
kill
several
black
people
even
recently
in
february
with
the
murder
of
mayor
locke,
this
also
does
not
set
us
up
to
attract
the
best
qualified
candidates
for
law
enforcement.
L
L
In
fact,
even
when
constituents
reach
out
to
have
more
transparency
about
what
you're
doing
on
your
job,
we
will
even
notify
you
about
who
those
constituents
are
we'll
give
you
their
identities
so
that
you
can
do
with
that
information
whatever
you
will
so
to
say
that
we
don't
have
any
skin
in
the
game
to
set
ourselves
up
for
a
better
position
to
leverage
a
stronger
contract
that
actually
gets
that
many
of
the
police
reforms
that
many
of
you
support
it's
completely
inaccurate
and
to
say
that
you
support
this,
but
think
that
we
have
no
other
options
on
the
table.
L
B
I
want
to
remind
my
council
members
to
please
exercise
decorum
and
respect
for
our
all
of
our
humanity.
We
have
the
reason
why
we
have
13
members
on
this
council
is
because
we
all
bring
diverse
ideas
to
the
table
there.
There
is
no
reason
in
my
mind
to
cast
dispersions
on
the
members
of
this
body
because
of
their
ideals
and
opinions
and
how
they
interpreted
interpret
the
information
that
is
brought
before
us
to
make
decisions
to
represent
this
city.
B
Please,
please,
colleagues
refrain
from
personal
attacks.
I
I
beg
you.
We
we
had
an
entire
agreement
that
we
would
work
together
and
respect
each
other's
opinions.
B
This
this
is
unacceptable
and
we
really
need
to
stick
to
the
issues.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
chug,
thai.
K
So
I
you
know,
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
coming
from
coming
from
a
labor
background
and
having
a
lot
of
familiarity
with
the
process
of
contract
negotiations,
the
process
of
being
unable,
like
the
employer
and
the
workers
being
unable
to
reach
agreement,
the
process
of
mediation,
arbitration
and
the
fact
that
it
is
frequently
construed,
especially
when
we
talk
about
the
police
federation
as
as
something
that,
as
as
this
like
big
scary
thing
that
is
impossible
to
overcome,
or
that
locks
us
into
making
decisions.
K
That
just
are
it's
just
not
true,
and
so
you
know
I
wanna,
I
I
tried
the
best
I
could
to
understand
what
the
benefit
of
this
contract
was
as
employers
as
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
to
the
best
of
my
ability,
based
on
the
conversations
I
had
with
director
atkinson.
What
I
got
was
this
contract,
as
it
exists.
K
Right
now
allows
us
to
attract
officers
into
the
minneapolis
police
department,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
failure
in
in
in
our
city
broadly
right
to
understand
why
workers
go
into
the
workplace,
why
they
choose
a
profession,
why
they
exercise
collective
bargaining
rights.
It's
not
about
money,
it's
not
just
about
money
right,
like
our
compensation,
is
a
large
part
of
why
we
go
to
work
every
day.
It's
a
large
part
of
what
allows
us
to
live.
K
Our
lives
pay
our
rent
pay,
our
mortgage
do
whatever
and
it
is
not
what
keeps
us
in
a
workplace
like
the
being
supported
in
your
workplace
being
treated
with
dignity
and
respect
knowing
that
you're
in
a
culture
that
is
not
toxic,
and
that
is
going
to
like
help
you
grow
in
your
career
and
in
your
profession.
K
Knowing
that
you
know
you're
going
to
be
treated
fairly
and
equitably
in
your
workplace,
that's
what
helps
keep
people
in
their
profession,
and
so,
in
my
opinion-
and
you
know,
I
think,
in
the
opinion
of
a
lot
of
labor
experts,
this
this
contract
is
about
us
trying
to
throw
money
at
a
problem
when
the
problem
is
actually
much
much
deeper,
and
you
know-
and
I
think
that
I
think
that
that
we
have
to
start
standing
up
for
the
future
of
our
city.
K
We
have
to
start
standing
up
for
the
type
of
culture
that
we
want
to
build
in
in
as
as
the
employers
here,
and
that
this
this
contract
is
not
doing
what
we
think
it's
intended
to
do,
and
so
you
know
I
I
plan
to
vote
against
it.
N
Thanks
council
president
jenkins,
I
just
want
to
say
a
couple
things:
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
conversations
that,
if
we
vote
this
down,
we
will
lose
statements
of
support
from
the
city
or
from
our
police
department
actually
to
advance
race
and
equity
within
the
police
department.
I
don't
think
that
should
be
a
bargaining
trip.
I
think
that
the
minneapolis
police
department
should
want
to
advance
race
and
equity
without
that
being
a
bargaining
chip,
then
that
means
for
me
and
a
lot
of
the
people.
N
I
represents
that
we
need
to
do
deep
digging
on
why
this
is
even
part
of
a
bargaining
trip
when
it
should
be
just
the
case.
Are
the
police
department
should
want
to
advance
racing
equity?
It
should
not
be
something
that's
on
the
table.
Should
we
not
move
forward
with
this
contract
today.
I'm
also
concerned
that
we
are
giving
police
officers
data
on
who
puts
data
requests
on
them.
I
know
that
this
is
state
law,
but
state
law
doesn't
require
us
to
send
it
to
police
department
officers
without
them
asking
for
it.
N
They
can
ask
for
that,
and
that
is
very
concerning
to
people's
data
privacy
as
well
then.
Lastly,
last
year
I
worked
at
the
state
legislature
and
we
were
pushing
for
a
build
state
legislature
to
condemn
and
ban
white
supremacy
within
police
departments
across
the
state,
and
I
expected
minneapolis
to
lead
on
this
issue
and
before
I
sign
into
any
contract
with
the
union,
I
need
to
see
leadership
from
the
police
department
to
condemn
this
work.
N
Work
that
the
minnesota
police
and
police
officers
association
was
not
willing
to
do
not
willing
to
ban
white
supremacy
within
our
police
departments
across
the
state.
Our
police
department
here
in
minneapolis
needs
leadership
that
is
willing
to
ban
white
supremacy
across
our
state
and
across
our
own
department.
Thank
you
and
I
will
be
voting
against
this
contract.
L
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
First
of
all
I
want
to
thank
director
atkinson
for
all
the
time
that
he
spent
answering
my
questions
in
regards
to
this
contract.
I
am
voting
to
approve
this
contract.
I
feel
like
we
are
too
far
down
the
road
on
this
one.
It's
been
in
the
making,
since
2019
going
to
binding
arbitration,
will
likely
result
in
a
less
favorable
outcome
for
the
city.
State
law
ties
our
hands
in
a
lot
of
ways
with
this
contract.
L
We
have
another
chance
at
this
in
the
near
future
and
we
will
start
negotiating
in
2020
the
we
will
start
negotiating
the
2023
contract
soon.
I
also
want
to
add
that
whomever
our
next
chief
is
is
going
to
play
a
huge
role
in
how
we
discipline
our
officers.
I
personally
want
to
focus
on
doing
the
real
work
that
is
needed
and
delaying
or
voting
this
contract
down
does
not
allow
for
that.
L
B
L
L
D
B
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
president,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
has
three
items
that
it
is
recommending
for
consideration
at
today's
council
meeting
item
number
one
is
accepting
the
minnesota
department
of
health
grant
amendment
for
maternal
child
health
federal
home
visiting
item
number
two
is
accepting
the
mississippi
watershed
management
organization,
grant
for
erosion
and
sediment
control
enforcement
and
item
number
three
is
authorizing
a
grant
application
to
the
minnesota
division
of
homeland
security
and
emergency
management,
to
support
prevention,
preparation,
mitigation
response
and
recovery
efforts
from
acts
of
terrorism
and
other
hazards.
B
Council,
member
vital,
has
moved
the
committee
report
for
approval.
Is
there
any
discussion
council
member
chavez.
N
Thank
you,
president
jenkins
and
councilman
rita.
I
just
want
to
get
clarification
if
this
department
of
homeland
security
is
working
with
ice
or
any
cve,
or
if
you
can
just
get
clarification
on
what
number
three
actually
does.
B
Hello,
I
believe,
come
oh
council
member
vital
may
be
frozen.
Is
there
any
staff
available
on
the
call
to
answer
council
member
chavez's
question.
C
Council
president,
I
don't
know
that
we
have
anyone
from
the
submitting
agency
on
the
call.
I
can
certainly
attempt
to
find
someone
that
could
join
the
meeting
quickly
and
I
would
also
direct
the
council,
member,
as
I
am
attempting
to
do
right
now
to
access
the
background
materials
that
are
in
the
limbs
file
on
this
just
to
see
if
there
might
be
any
mentions,
specifically
of
particular
federal
agencies
that
might
be
involved
in
the
scope
of
work.
N
Yeah
and
I
was
reading
through
the
documents
last
night,
I
couldn't
necessarily
see
everything
and
I
didn't
see
anything,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
if
there
was
sometimes
it's
not
written
on
documents,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
not
voting
for
anything.
That's
either
gonna
continue
to
work
with
ice
or
work
with
cbe
that
tends
to
criminalize
my
east
african
and
muslim
neighbors.
So.
B
I
will
note
that
we
have
past
resolutions
in
the
past
to
limit
our
work
with
ice
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
I'm
not
sure
about
this
particular
grant.
So
so.
N
I
guess
we
can
probably
follow
up.
I
just
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
and
just
because
I
don't
have
enough
information
in
front
of
me,
but
I
guess
we
can
probably
just
follow
up
with
conversations
with
city
staff
on
this.
Thank
you.
K
Oh,
can
I
just
quit
correct
myself,
I'm
so
sorry,
no
one
item
three.
I
O
L
B
F
Madam
president,
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
is
bringing
forward
eight
items
today.
The
first
three

are
project
approvals
and
assessments.
The
first

cheatham
and
standish
residential
street
resurfacing.
The
second
is
for
the
legions
like
residential
street
resurfacing,
and
the
third
is
for
the
luella
anderson
neighborhood
project
phase.
Two.
The
fourth

is
a
grant
application
to
the
council
regional
solicitation
for
federal
transportation
funds.
The

is
a
variance
request

municipal
state
aid
standards
for
hennepin

F
The

appropriation
and
revenue
increase
related
to
franklin

west
street
reconstruction
project.
The

is
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
the
park
board
and
hennepin
county
for
land
conveyance,
and
the
eighth
item
is
a
large
block
event
permit
for
rock
the
garden.
B
Councilmember
johnson
has
moved
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee's
report.
Is
there
any
discussion.
P
P
I
D
B
B
The
next
excuse
me
and
there's
just
one
item
today,
a
motion
by
councilmember
johnson
pursuant
to
notice
to
introduce
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
regulations
related
to
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure
in
new
development
as
part
of
the
policies
adopted
as
part
of
the
minneapolis
2040
plan
and
referring
that
matter
to
the
business,
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee.
Are
there
any
questions
on
that
referral.
P
P
D
D
D
B
That
carries,
and
the
matter
has
been
referred
to
the
biz
committee
in
the
next
cycle.
We
have
three
honorary
resolutions
today
which
were
presented
at
the
start
of
our
meeting.
If
there's
no
further
discussion
on
those
resolutions,
I
would
entertain
a
single
motion
to
adopt
all
three
of
our
honorary
resolutions
today.
So.
P
B
Second,
we
have
a
proper
motion
and
second
is
there:
any
discussion
want
to
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
wall.
C
D
D
O
D
B
That
carries
in
those
honorary
resolutions
have
been
adopted.
Colleagues,
we
have
a
motion
or
a
motion
was
submitted
and
included
on
today's
published
agenda
related
to
my
proposal
to
create
a
housing
and
rent
stabilization
work
group.
B
B
B
Some
council
members
would
like
to
avoid
delay
by
spending
the
next
few
months
directly
crafting
a
policy
proposal
and
having
that
completed
in
time,
to
submit
to
the
voters
in
this
year's
general
election.
B
What
that
would
mean
is
not
the
creation
of
a
work
group
to
engage
a
community
in
developing
these
policies,
but
instead
it
would
fall
to
the
council,
working
with
professional
staff
to
craft
a
policy
and,
through
our
regular
legislative
process,
provide
opportunities
for
the
public
to
testify
on
that
proposal
through
public
hearings.
B
Clearly,
we
have
two
very
solid
options
of
moving
forward.
The
voters
here
have
given
us
the
the
power
to
propose
a
rent,
stabilization
policy,
how
we
do
that,
whether
by
engaging
the
community
or
by
tackling
that
work,
ourselves
is
really
the
question
that
is
before
us
now
and
respect
for
my
colleagues
and-
and
I
immediately.
B
You
know
acquiesced
to
the
request
to
postpone
this
motion
for
one
cycle
so
that
they
are
able
to
put
forth
alternative
proposal.
This
matter
will
then
return
to
our
full
council
at
our
regular
meeting
on
april
14th.
At
that
time,
the
council
will
need
to
decide
which
of
those
options
it
wishes
the
city
to
pursue.
B
That
decision
will
commit
us
as
a
body
to
that
direction.
I
will
entertain
any
comments,
thoughts
or
discussion
from
my
colleagues
before
I
direct
the
clerk
to
postpone
this
item
to
the
next
council
meeting.
Is
there
any
discussion.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
start
by
just
for
the
public
record
thanking
our
council
president.
I
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
her
last
night
and
she
was
very
kind
and
gracious
in
allowing
for
a
delay
on
this
motion.
K
You
know,
I
think
all
all
of
us
have
differing
opinions
on
what
rent
stabilization
policy
can
look
like
and
the
process
that
we
pursue
to
do
that,
and
you
know,
I
think,
I'm
of
the
I'm
of
the
opinion
that
there
is
a
way
for
us
to
meaningfully
create
a
process
that
centers
community
engagement
to
to
put
this
policy
on
the
ballot
this
year.
K
I
wanted
to
bring
forward
a
substitute
motion
and
you'll
see
that
in
our
next
council
cycle,
but
part
of
the
conversation
I
had
with
with
com
with
the
council
president
last
night
was
not
wanting
to
make
this
a
rushed
motion
that
came
before
you
before
we
had
a
chance
to
engage
on
it,
so
want
to
like
one
thank
the
council
president
for
for
entertaining
me
on
this
and
then
to
give
all
of
you
a
heads
up
and
give
our
public
a
heads
up.
That
might
be
watching
along
and
asking.
K
Why
are
we
delaying
this
another
cycle
that
you
know
I'll
I'll
be
working
with
all
of
you
on
on
figuring
out
what
the
substitute
motion
will
look
like
and
then
we'll
get
a
chance
to
vote
on
on
it
as
a
body
and
do
it
you
know
one
after
the
other,
so
want
to
give
that
heads
up
to
the
public
and
to
to
colleagues
and
that
we'll
have
some
really
good
work
ahead
of
us
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
B
Thank
you
councilman
richard
thai.
Is
there
any
further
discussion.
B
Is
there
any
further
discussion
you
know
before
I?
I
asked
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on
postponing
this.
This
motion,
which
I
firmly
believe
that
we
should
do.
I
will
note
that
you
know
I've.
I've
heard
from
many
many
stakeholders,
renters
residents,
who
believe
that
a
community
work
group
is
really
a
great
option
for
us.
It
would
provide
that
kind
of
input
and
transparency
and
engagement
that
that
we
all
discuss
and
talk
about.
B
B
We
we
can
do
that
as
well,
and
so
you
know-
and
I
I
just
will
comment
briefly-
that
you
know
I
I
agree
to
this
out
of
respect
for
council
member
chuck
thai,
and
you
know
I'm
I'm
trying
to
model
that
level
of
respect
for
each
and
every
one
of
our
colleagues
and
when
we
devolve
ourselves
into
to
you
know
name
calling
casting
dispersions
on
each
other.
B
We
we
feed
into
the
the
deep
divisions
that
are
present
in
our
community
in
our
country
and
and
clearly
around
the
world,
as
we
see
wars
breaking
out
around
the
world,
and
so
you
know,
I
hope
that
this
body
can
actually
contribute
to
a
more
respectful
discourse
to
really
tackle
the
very
different,
differing
ideas
on
and
the
important
issues
that
are
facing
our
community.
B
Call
the
roll
on
on
this
side.
I
L
I
think
there
might
be
some
confusion
on
my
end
clerk
carl
and,
madam
president,
are
we
voting
on
the
motion
for
you
to
delay.
D
I
D
P
B
That
item
carries
and
just
got
a
message
from
council
member
johnson
that
the
internet
went
out
again
and
he
is
attempting
to
reconnect.
B
B
D
D
D
P
D
I
P
B
Colleagues,
well
I'm
sorry
that
item
carries
and
that
motion
is
approved.
My
apologies.
Next
we
have
the
unfinished
business
pertaining
to
the
hiawatha
campus
project.
At
our
last
meeting,
the
council
did
approve
a
motion
by
council
member
chavez
that
would
have
rescinded
the
prior
council
action
to
allow
for
alternative
site
development
proposals.
That
action
was
vetoed
and
returned
by
the
mayor
with
his
objections
and
given
that
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
advise
us
of
our
procedures
on
that
detail.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
under
charter,
section
4.4
c
and
in
accordance
with
council
rule
8
section
8.
This
is
an
automatic
motion
to
reconsider
the
veto
of
the
mayor
on
the
prior
council
action.
The
question
before
the
body
now
is:
shall
the
decision
of
the
council
stand
notwithstanding
the
veto
of
the
mayor?
If
two-thirds
of
the
membership
vote
in
the
affirmative,
which
is
nine
affirmative
votes,
then
that
veto
is
overturned.
C
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk,
is,
I
will
entertain
a
conversation
from
councilmember
chavez.
E
N
Want
to
ground
us
by
saying
that
we
are
a
native
land,
the
first
people
of
this
land,
the
original
people
of
this
land
and
the
decisions
should
be
made
with
and
for
our
indigenous
neighbors.
Always
this
project
must
center
them
and
they
must
be
a
part
of
that
decision
making
with
whatever
decision
we
come
up
with.
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
veto
of
the
mayor
at
this
very
moment,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
that
this
is
not
the
end
of
the
urban
form.
N
Nor
is
it
the
end
of
the
dreams
of
my
neighbors.
My
office
is
in
close
conversations
with
community
members
in
east
phillips,
who
deserve
a
shot
to
prove
themselves
with
councilmember
johnson
wisconsin,
murkowski,
mayor
frye
city
staff
and
my
colleagues
on
next
steps
with
hope
of
bringing
something
back
at
the
next
full
council
meeting.
N
That
will
give
my
community
the
shop
that
they
deserve
a
shot
at
an
urban
farm,
a
shot
at
bringing
back
jobs
to
this
area
and
a
shot
to
live
another
day,
and
I
expect
to
work
in
good
faith
to
get
this
accomplished.
So
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
motion.
The
I
would
not
be
supporting
the
veto,
but
do
expect
to
work
and
bring
something
back
in
the
next
two
weeks.
B
Thank
you
and
I
will
note
that
council
member
johnson
has
joined
us.
I
did
allow
council
member
chavez
to
speak
because
it
was
his
motion.
However,
a
veto-
and
I
will
confirm
this
with
the
clerk-
I
don't
believe,
is
a
debatable
item
and-
and
so
consequently,
we
must
just
take
the
roll
call
on
this
and
so
councilmember
ellison.
I
see
you
in
queue
and
please
realize
that
there
is
no
attempt
to
stifle
your
voice,
and
I
see
you
have
a
clarified
question.
B
So
please
ask
your
question,
sir.
M
All
right,
thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
the
clerk.
Is
the
item
before
us
to
uphold
the
mayor's
veto,
or
is
the
item
before
us
to
deny
the
mayor's
veto
just
trying
to
figure
out
the
inherent
motion
before
us,
because.
C
C
If
you
want
to
override
the
mayor's
veto-
and
you
want
the
prior
action
that
was
brought
by
councilmember
chavez
to
stand,
then
you
vote.
Yes,
that
would
be
overturning
the
mayor's
veto.
A
no
vote
would
allow
the
mayor's
veto
to
rule
and
would
defeat
the
council
action.
So
yes
upholds
the
veto
and-
and
no
I'm
sorry,
I
think-
shall
the
decision
of
the
council
is
a
yes.
So
a
yes
vote
is
to
support
the
chavez.
M
P
B
E
C
P
B
That
carries
and
that
veto
is
sustained
new
business
under
the
order
of
new
business.
We
have
a
nomination
from
the
mayor
to
appoint
alberta
gillespie
to
the
position
of
civil
rights
director
under
council
rules.
This
nomination
will
be
referred
to
the
standing
committee
with
subject
matter
jurisdiction
for
the
purposes
of
conducting
a
public
hearing.
B
The
committee
in
this
case
is
the
public
health
and
safety
committee.
So
without
objection
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
refer
this
matter
to
that
committee
in
the
next
cycle
for
the
scheduling
of
a
public
hearing.
B
Next,
we
have
update
to
our
public
health
emergency
resolution.
As
I
mentioned
the
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
it's
time
for
the
council
to
resume
its
meetings
in
person
at
city
hall.
While
the
world
continues
to
adapt
to
covet
19,
we
need
to
move
forward
with
the
new
normal,
and
that
includes
returning
to
in-person
meetings
at
city
hall,
and
I
will
recognize
the
clerk
to
explain
the
amendment
that
is
before
us.
C
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
there
is
a
resolution
in
front
of
the
body
you
should
have.
A
copy
of
this
resolution
is
being
amended
to
provide,
as
the
president
explained,
for
a
phased
return
to
in-person
meetings
here
in
the
council
chamber
at
city
hall.
The
very
last
paragraph,
which
is
all
underscored
showing
the
new
text
to
be
added,
reflects
the
fact
that,
with
positive
risk
indicators
decreasing
in
terms
of
the
spread
and
likely
spread
of
covid
within
hennepin
county,
we
are
proposing
to
return
to
public
meetings
here
at
city
hall.
C
C
And
so
there
is
a
provision
that
allows
for
the
return
to
in
person
to
be
extended
to
those
independent
bodies
appointed
boards
and
commissions
and
other
advisory
groups
according
to
a
schedule
that
would
be
set
by
the
city
clerk
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions
or
or
further
comments
that
might
be
raised
by
the
council
in
response
to
this
latest
action
to
return
to
a
new
or
next
normal
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
Are
there
any
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
the
resolution
with
the
further
revisions
introduced
by
the
clerk.
Is
there
a
second.
B
B
B
Operation
of
business
to
this
unknown
virtual
reality
that
we
have
all
found
ourselves
sort
of
forced
into
that
being
said,
you
know
I
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
and
thank
our
employees
for
their
flexibility
and
ambidextries
ambidextrousness.
B
If
that
is
a
word
to
be
able
to
adapt
and
and
shift
and
change,
and
in
in
my
mind
I
know
in
in
my
office,
I
can
state
that
you
know
there
has
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
professionalism
and
work,
and
I
think
that
has
been
exhibited
throughout
the
entire
city
to
keep
our
city
moving
forward
in
this
remote
environment.
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
and
thank
everyone
for
their
involvement.
B
This
is
the
the
last
time
that
we
will
have
this
opportunity
to
have
our
meetings
while
wearing
our
slippers,
and
that
stated,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the.
D
D
I
D
P
B
That
resolution
is
adopted
and
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
provide
updated
notices
for
meetings
impacted
by
this
change,
trust
the
clerk
and
the
technical
team
will
be
working
to
ensure
a
smooth
transition
and
we'll
be
providing
more
updates
to
council
members
in
the
coming
days.
I
do
want
to
just
announce
for
the
public.
We
are
happy
to
to
receive
you
back,
but
as
we
noted,
this
is
going
to
be
our
quote
new
normal
or
next
normal,
and
you
know
that
is
gonna.
Have
it's
gonna
look
different?
We
will
have.
B
We
will
be
trying
to.
You
know
address
some
of
the.
B
Distance
requirements
that
have
been
stated
as
well
as
you
know,
providing
opportunities
to
try
to
help
keep
everyone
safe.
So
we'll
be
hearing
more
and
more
about
this
in
in
coming
days.
Next,
in
order
of
business
is
announcement,
madam
madam.
C
President,
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
with
your
indulgence
very
quickly.
I
had
a
chance,
in
the
intervening
period
of
time,
to
follow
up
with
the
director
of
our
emergency
management
office.
Mr
barrett
lane
on
the
item
number
three
under
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
and
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
timely
respond
to
some
of
the
questions
that
were
asked
about.
This
particular
grant
application
to
the
minnesota
division
of
homeland
security
and
emergency
management,
and
so
I
simply
wanted
to
confirm
that
I
did
speak
to
mr
lane.
C
This
is
a
grant
application,
so
it's
not
authorizing
acceptance
of
the
grant
funding,
but
simply
authorizing
the
acceptance
of
that
grant
application
for
a
total
of
nine
hundred
four
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
it's
to
be
used
over
an
18
month
period
to
support
the
city's
efforts
in
terms
of
planning
for
preventing
mitigating
and
responding
to
emergencies,
disasters
and
other
hazards-
and
I
understand
from
mr
lane
to
the
specific
question
about
whether
or
not
this
application
involves
any
interaction
or
participation
from
ice
or
immigration
related
agencies
at
the
federal
level
council
member
chavez.
C
Most
of
this
funding
is
actually
to
fund
staff
and
staff
level
activities
in
terms
of
the
preparations
that
go
into
updating
the
city's
emergency
response
operations,
plans
and
those
types
of
procedures,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
for
all
of
you
and
put
that
on
the
record.
If
it
does
result
in
a
change
to
the
vote,
then
we
can
go
through
that
process,
but
I
wanted
to
at
least
put
that
on
the
record
since
it
was
asked-
and
unfortunately,
mr
barrett
lane
couldn't
join
us
to
provide
that
answer.
C
He
is
quite
busy
today
with
other
efforts
that
took
his
time,
but
I
was
able
to
get
up
in
touch
with
him,
and
I
wanted
to
clarify
that
if
there
is
an
interest
in
going
back
and
reconsidering
that
motion,
madam
president,
I'm
happy
to
walk
us
through
that
as
well.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk,
and
I
see
councilmember
chavez
has
turned
on
his
camera.
Did
you
have
a.
N
Yeah,
I
would
say
yeah
thanks
president
jenkins
and
clerk.
I
would
love
if
we
can
redo
that
bow,
and
I
would
be
changing
my
vote
after
that
clarification.
B
You
all
righty,
thank
you.
You
know,
I
will
entertain
the
reconsideration
of
item
number
three
from
the
public
safety
and
health
committee
and
ask
the
clerk
to
without
further
discussion,
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
world
so.
C
D
D
D
D
B
So
that
item
carries
and
now
we
will
reconsider-
item
number
three
on
the
public
health
and
safety
committee.
Is
there
any
further
discussion.
D
D
D
I
I
D
P
P
B
That
item
carries
and
for
the
record
I
want
to
note
that
councilmember
rainbill
left
to
attend
a
a
previously
scheduled
meeting.
Next
order
of
business
is
announcements.
Do
any
of
my
colleagues
have
any
announcements,
councilmember
johnson.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
wanted
to
use
the
announcement
section
just
to
speak
to
my
vote
around
the
mayoral
veto
on
this,
because
it
actually
ties
into
what
you
talked
about
earlier,
and
I
really
appreciate
all
of
the
conversation
around
decorum
and
emphasizing
the
importance,
and
so
I
thought
this
was
actually
important
for
me
to
speak
to
my
reasoning,
because
it
ties
directly
into
what
you
said.
But
you
know
I'm
happy
to
stand
with
councilmember
chavez
and
with
the
community
on
this.
F
I'm
also
happy
to
work
with
the
mayor
in
good
faith,
on
a
compromise
related
to
this
and
a
path
forward
for
the
community
to
have
a
shot
at
this
space.
The
reason
why
I
did
not
sustain
the
veto
and
voted
on
the
override
of
the
veto
is
actually
because
in
the
past,
when
I
have,
as
a
result
of
working
with
colleagues,
found
that
the
only
option
forward
is
a
particular
motion,
for
instance
supporting
a
compromise
around
the
community.
F
Those
votes
have
actually
been
brought
up
by
colleagues
before
to
suggest
that
I
haven't
stood
with
the
community
that
I
haven't
been
fighting
since
I
was
elected
in
2014
for
this
community
to
have
a
shot
at
this
site
and
when
that
kind
of
behavior
happens
when
we,
for
instance,
take
colleagues
past
votes
and
drag
them
out
and
try
to
describe
motives
or
use
them
against
each
other.
It
damages
trust
and
it
creates
a
toxic
working
environment
and
in
this
case
my
vote
on.
F
This
was
a
direct
result
of
both
in
the
last
term
and
I
believe
in
this
term,
as
well
people
bringing
up
my
past
votes
and
in
in
trying
to
imply,
as
a
result
that
I
somehow
didn't
stand
with
the
community.
When
I
have
the
entire
time,
and
so
I
thought,
based
off
of
all
the
conversation
around
decorum
and
the
value
of
that.
This
was
an
important
point
to
raise
for
colleagues
to
consider.
F
I
really
value
working
with
all
of
you
and
I
want
to
continue
to
work
with
all
of
you
in
good
faith
and
respect
our
differences
with
each
other,
because
we're
going
to
have
them.
But
the
important
thing
is
that
we
continue
to
share
our
perspectives
and
work
respectfully
with
one
another
to
continue
to
advance
the
interests
of
the
people
of
minneapolis.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember,
johnson,
and
and
to
your
point
I
think
it
is
important
to
note
that
and
as
as
council
member
chavez
noted,
this
is
not
the
end
of
the
the
conversation
and
we
will
be
working
together
with
community
members,
the
mayor
and
public
works
director
and
and
others
to
to
really
come
up
with
a
plan.
I
think
that
will
ultimately
bring
a.
B
Win
win
for
the
entire
community
community,
as
well
as
our
city
and
so
upholding
the
mayor's
veto
allows
us
the
opportunity
to
to
move
forward
with
those
efforts.
Are
there
any
other
announcements.
B
Are
there
any
further
announcements
with
nothing
further
to
come,
be
for
the
the
council,
as
we
have
completed
all
the
items
on
our
agenda?
If
there's
no
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned
and
thank
you
all,
and
I
hope
that
you
all
have
a
a
great
weekend.
