Or
chronic
fatigue
syndrome
and
that
presentation
will
be
by
council
vice
president
palmisano
and
council
member
vital.
B
Hello
good
morning
welcome
billy
and
leanne.
If
you
want
to
join
us
up
here,
that
would
be
great
council
member
vita
and
I
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
patient
advocate,
billy,
hanlon
and
and
we
he
has
been
meeting
with
us
and
others
on
the
city
council
and
really
helping
to
educate
us
about
his
experience.
B
And
anybody
who
suffers
with
me
cfs
and
kind
of
what
it
means
internationally
and
nationally
we're
starting
to
have
more
of
these
conversations
because
we're
starting
as
a
nation
to
see
the
impacts
of
long
covid
on
our
workforce.
We're
starting
to
see
the
health
costs
of
it.
We're
starting
to
really
begin
to
see
and
be
more
aware
of
the
people
who
are
are
being
left
out
right
or
feeling
dismissed
and
neglected,
and
and
not
being
able
to
take
care,
be
taken
care
of
by
the
way
that
we
do
health
care
right
now.
B
So
we
council,
member
vita,
and
I
felt
it
important
to
recognize
this
day.
It
also
happens
to
be
the
international
day
of
mecfs
awareness
and
billy
is
going
to
share
with
us.
Mrs
sorry,
mr
hanlon
is
going
to
share
with
us
a
couple
of
comments
of
his
own
after
this
resolution,
but
I
I
will
just
I'll
start
by
reading
the
resolution
and
here's
councilmember
vito's
cup,
so
recognizing
may
12th.
That's
today.
2022
is
the
myalgic
encephalomyelitis
chronic
fatigue
syndrome.
B
International
awareness
day
me
is
commonly
known
as
chronic
fatigue
syndrome
or
mecfs
and
is
a
devastating
multi-system
disease
that
causes
dysfunction
of
the
neurological
immune,
endocrine
and
energy
metabolism
systems.
Whereas
mecfs
is
understood
to
be
an
inability
to
properly
generate
energy
within
cells
and
whereas
mecfs
changes.
B
Whereas
the
cause
remains
unknown.
There
is
no
diagnostic
test,
no
fda,
approved
treatment
and
no
cure,
whereas
increased
awareness
and
education
can
help.
Patients
receive
timely,
appropriate
and
compassionate
medical
care,
whereas
this
awareness
day
seeks
to
raise
awareness
related
to
the
disease
and
the
very
real,
highly
debilitating
effect
that
this
disease
can
have
on
those
suffering
from
it.
B
And
whereas
patients
advocates
and
researchers
are
stating
the
dire
need
for
government
attention
to
this
disease,
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
a
long
history
for
respect
and
inclusion
striving
to
provide
superior
access
to
health
care
to
all
its
residents.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
do
hereby
honor
and
recognize
may
12,
as
mecfs
international
awareness
day
in
an
effort
to
raise
awareness
of
mecfs
and
highlight
the
dire
need
for
research
and
government
funding
I'll.
Let
council
member
vita
say
a
few
words
and
present
you
with
the
resolution.
C
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
all
and
thank
you.
Mister.
Thank
you.
Billy
sorry
and
I
can't
remember
her
name
leanne.
Thank
you.
Leanne
leanne
is
seated
but
she's
here
as
a
parent
to
a
child
who
suffers.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
today,
too,
we're
wearing
blue
today
in
honor,
and
so
thanks
for
all
the
energy
you
put
into
making
me
aware
of
this.
As
the
chair
of
public
health,
I
appreciate
the
time
you
spent.
Thank
you.
D
E
D
Member
paul
masano
culture,
member
vita,
for
their
support
in
championing
this
resolution,
and
just
really
for
all
the
council
before
me
today
on
your
support
with
this,
especially
the
wearing
of
blue,
goes
so
far,
and
so
much
for
our
community
yeah
and
what
I
just
want
to
say
here
today
and
you
know
I'm
33
years
old,
I'm
a
proud
resident
of
minneapolis
ward
13..
D
When
I
was
28
years
old
in
2017,
I
got
struck
with
an
acute
viral
like
illness
that
that
that
virus
left
just
lasting
impacts
and
manifestation.
That
rendered
me
disabled,
that
impacted
to
neurological
manifestations,
immunological
deficiencies
and
really
impacted
my
quality
of
life,
and
so
I
just
wanted
everyone
before
here
today
and
on
this
day
of
recognition,
know
that
there's
so
much
profound
loss
felt
physically,
financially
personally
and
socially,
and
I
just
know
that
minneapolis
and
minnesota,
you
know
we
really
can
do
more
to
bridge
the
gaps
and
reduce
the
inequities
for
this
patient
population.
D
So
my
call
to
action.
I
have
just
three
calls
to
action
today
and
really,
I
just
think
first,
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
centers
of
excellence
in
minnesota.
Currently
the
treat
lunkovid
act-
that's
in
the
south
in
the
senate
in
the
house
includes
language
for
that
it
would
really
be
a
area
where
it
could
perform
clinical
care
could
carry
out
research.
D
It
would
help
with
education
and
outreach,
and
that
would
really
just
identify
the
gap
that
in
minnesota
we
struggle
to
have
access
to
equitable
care
on
the
majority
of
the
clinicians
and
researchers
dedicated
to
this
field
are
on
the
east
and
west
coast.
So
really
we
just
feel
medically
abandoned
where
we
are
in
this
part
of
the
country
and
in
the
greater
midwest.
So
that
would
be
the
first
really
big
objective
that
we're
going
for
is
any
support
to
help
start
the
dialogue,
whether
at
the
university
of
minnesota,
mayo
clinic
or
any
elsewhere.
D
So
we
there's
really
misplaced
stigma
that
we
need
to
address
and
really
just
try
to
help
this
empty
bench
of
trained
physicians,
knowledgeable
on
this
disease,
so
that
patients
can
turn
to
and
then
last
I'd
advise
if
we
could
ever
get
support
with
a
city
or
state
task
force
to
really
lead
a
coordinated
effort
to
address
these
unprecedented
challenges
and
unmet
needs,
as
we
know
again
that
our
prevalence
is
on
tragically
only
significantly
increasing
as
this
threat
as
this
pandemic
has
shed
light
on
these
virally
triggered
viral
onset,
long-term
conditions,
and
I'm
just
so
grateful
for
your
support.
A
Wow,
thank
you,
colleagues,
and
I
do
want
to
just
note
I'm
wearing
blue
today
myself
in
honor
of
this
day
and
just
note
the
fact
that
I
too
live
with
chronic
fatigue
syndrome,
and
you
know
it's
a
challenge
and
I'm
glad
to
know
that
there
are
people
and
organizations
out
there
that
are
working
to
bring
awareness
and
attention
to
these
issues.
So
thank
you,
council
members
for
that
presentation.
A
Our
next
resolution
is
in
honor
of
asian,
american
and
native
hawaiian
pacific
islanders
heritage
month
or
api
month,
and
that
presentation
will
be
provided
by
council
member
chuck
thai.
F
All
right,
I
think
this
is
going
to
work
now
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much
good
morning,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here
today
to
present
this
resolution
commemorating
this
this
very
important
month.
I
am
a
proud
first
generation
american
to
two
asian
american
parents.
Both
of
my
parents
are
pakistani.
I
grew
up
in
a
mixed
status,
family
and
I'm
really
excited
and
thankful
for
our
staff.
Who've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
putting
this
resolution
together.
F
I
I'm
really
proud
to
represent
this
community
on
the
council
and
in
in
our
minneapolis
policy
making,
and
I
know
that
there's
an
increase
in
violence
towards
our
community
over
the
over
the
last
couple
of
years-
and
I
know
growing
up
in
post-9,
11
america
and
in
the
legacy
of
the
war
on
terror
that
we
can't
fight
violence
with
violence.
F
The
only
way
we
can
do
it
is
with
with
care
and
with
love
and
by
building
community
and
one
of
the
ways
we
can
do,
that
is
by
holding
up
and
honoring
our
heritage
and
and
holding
up
our
humanity
for
people
to
see
and
recognize
and
honor,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
continue
the
work
with
our
staff
who've
led
on
this
resolution
to
make
minneapolis
both
a
workplace
and
a
community
that
honors
people's
dignity
and
where,
where
where
our
staff
especially
know
that
we
don't
just
care
about
the
work
that
you
produce,
but
the
the
people
that
you
are
and
the
lives
that
you
lead
and
that
you
bring
to
your
work
every
day.
G
F
I'll
invite
our
our
our
speakers
to
come
up
with
us,
wonderful
and
then
we'll
face
this
way.
F
We're
learning
together,
it's
great,
so
this
is
honoring
asian
american

native
hawaiian
pacific

whereas
the
united

represents
hundreds
of
national,
ethnic

tribal
identities,
including
many
politically
unrecognized
ethnic
groups,
multiracial
and
multi-ethnic
peoples,
and
whereas
the
diverse
aanhpi
community
includes
united

from
war-torn
countries.
F
Asylum

E
A
And
the
this
resolution
is
in
honor
of
all
of
the
employees
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
who
provide
the
services
necessary
to
to
make
our
city
the
best
city
that
it
can
be,
and
that
goes
down
from
to
every
department,
because
we
all
share
the
burden
of
of
being
public
servants
to
this
community.
A
And
so
the
resolution
declaring
the
month
of
may
as
public
service
recognition
month
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
reads.
Whereas
public
employees
are
responsible
for
providing
planning,
implementing
and
responding
to
public
service
needs
in
our
community
and
whereas
all
people
benefit
from
the
public
service
provided
by
dedicated
public
employees
and
whereas
public
service
is
a
noble
calling
where
people
choose
to
spend
a
portion
or
all
of
their
careers
building
community
contributing
to
the
public
good
and
improving
the
well-being
of
our
communities.
A
Thank
you
to
all
of
the
employees
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
to
my
colleagues
on
this
diocese
here
today.
A
It
has
been
an
incredibly
challenging
time
to
be
in
municipal
government,
and
I
think
in
government
generally,
and
so
I
I
just
want
to
offer
my
sincere
gratitude
to
all
of
our
employees
for
their
continued
efforts
to
make
this
a
great
city.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
council
president
members
of
the
council,
just
a
few
comments.
Each
year
we
do
have
a
star
awards
committee
and
they
provide
recognition
for
our
employees
in
2021.
We
provided
176
awards
for
our
employees.
I'm
very
excited
to
continue
that
work.
We
have
a
committee
that
represents
nearly
every
single
department
and
nearly
every
single
employee
resource
group.
So
it's
very
well
represented.
L
We
will
have
a
special
star
awards
ceremony
on
may
24th.
This
will
be
in
the
public
service
building
room
100,
and
we
will.
We
have
chosen
some
very
special
superstars
from
the
folks
that
received
awards
last
year.
Very
excited
about
that.
We
have
some
very,
very
good
awards,
just
thinking
about
the
last
two
years
as
an
employee
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
a
resident,
it
has
been
a
very
difficult
time
and
I
think
about
all
the
employees
that
choose
to
come
here
and
serve
community.
L
A
A
G
G
I
am
honored
today,
as
the
vice
chair
of
public
works
to
be
honoring.
Our
public
works
employees
by
today,
by
declaring
the
week
of
may
15
2022
a
national
public
works
week,
whereas
the
american
public
works
association
will
celebrate
the
62nd
annual
national
public
works
week,
which
will
be
held
the
third
week
in
may,
with
the
theme
ready
and
resilient,
and
whereas
national
public
works
week
is
celeb,
is
a
celebration
of
the
public
works.
G
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
acknowledges
the
significant
daily
contribution
that
the
employees
within
the
public
works
department
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
provide
to
the
citizens
and
businesses
throughout
the
city
during
national
public

Thank

So

for
being
here.
M
So,
council,
president
council,
vice
president
council
members
vice
chair
koski
of
public
works
and
infrastructure.
I
want
to
accept
this
on
behalf
of
the
over
a
thousand
workers
who
work
in
public
works
every
day,
and
this
morning
they
are
out.
I
got
my
first
report
at
about
5
a.m
of
the
cleanup
that
is
happening
across
our
city.
M
We
are
grateful
that,
although
this
is
one
of
the
most
direct
hit,
storms
we've
had
in
a
while,
the
damage
is
quite
contained
actually,
and
so
I
want
to
say
that
I
think
no
better
example
than
today
of
the
work
that
we
do
every
day
we
are
doers
in
our
department
and
we
like
to
work
directly
with
you
as
we
get
the
work
done.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
passing
this
resolution.
M
A
Director
anderson
kelleher,
I
just
had
the
the
street
sweeping
crews
come
by
my
house
this
morning,
so
even
while
they
were
cleaning
up
the
other,
the
aftermath
of
the
storm,
the
the
work
to
continue
to
keep
our
streets
clean
is
right
on
on
track.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
and
all
of
the
employees
of
public
works
division
for
their
committed
service
to
the
city.
A
So
that
concludes
our
presentations
and
we
have
a
few
comments
from
colleagues,
council,
member,
japanese.
N
Thanks
president
jenkins,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
director
to
you
and
your
team.
I
woke
up
this
morning
and
they
were
already
outside
helping
out
all
over
in
the
corker
and
neighborhood,
and
I
know
last
night
I
mean
you
were
talking
on
the
phone
from
some
concerns
from
constituents,
and
you
were
very
helpful
and
I
appreciate
the
service
that
you
bring
to
our
city.
N
A
K
A
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
as
well
as
we
have
been
joined
by
councilmember,
chug
thai
as
well.
Colleagues.
The
agenda
for
today
is
before
us
and
before
we
adopt
the
agenda,
I
would
like
to
just
identify
and
pull
three
items
which
will
be
held
until
later
in
the
meeting
when
mayor
frye
is
able
to
join
the
council,
those
items
being
the
appointment
of
tom
holt
to
the
public
housing
authority
as
part
of
the
biz
committee
report
number
two,
the
employee
safety
policy
resolution.
A
From
the
pogo
committee
and
number
three,
the
four
department
head
nominations
all
included
under
new
business.
With
that
I
will
ask
my
colleagues:
are
there
any
other
amendments
to
the
agenda.
J
A
I
would
say
none.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
this
agenda
so.
B
A
Second,
that
carries
and
I'm
sorry
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
world.
A
Carries
the
agenda
is
adopted.
The
first
item
is
acceptance
of
the
minutes
from
our
regular
meeting
on
april
28th,
may
I
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
minute
so
move.
Second,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role

A
N
A
O
Thank

work

already
doing
item

is
the

listed
below
item

I
will
defer
to
council
president
jenkins.
This
is
the
commemorative
street
name
change
and
item
number.
Eleven
is
a
rezoning
with
that.
I
will
move
items

through

through

for

this

A
Thank

councilmember

Are

comments
from
my
colleagues.
A
Any
questions
c9.
I
will
just
note
the
commemorative
street
name,
change
of
chicago
avenue
between
37th
street
east
and
39th
street
east.
The
commemorative
street
name
will
be
the
george
flory
george
perry,
floyd
jr
place.
A
And
we're
we're
changing
that
from
george
floyd
perry,
junior
place
to
george
perry,
floyd
square
once
again
on
chicago
avenue,
between
37
street
and
39th
street
east.
A
P
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
just
went
to
speak
on
item
number
nine,
the
b
tab
allocation
to
community
groups.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
was
excited
to
see
this
fund
funding
go
directly
to
those
community
groups,
especially
you
know,
knowing
that
btap
is
a
crew,
it's
just
crucial
for
businesses
and
by
allocating
this
funding
to
groups
with
language
and
cultural
specificity
specificity.
P
We
have
a
much
better
chance
of
getting
those
resources
into
the
direct
hands
of
black
small
business
owners
who
make
this
city
so
vibrant.
I
think
we
all
agree
on
that
one.
So
I
just
wanted
to
name
my
appreciation
for
that
specific
funding
measure
towards
the
btac.
A
K
M
K
A
B
Actually,
I'm
going
to
present
that
today.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
The
committee
of
the
whole
brings
forward
one
item
today.
It
is
the
reproductive
health
care
and
abortion
rights
resolution,
with
my
gratitude
to
council
member
juansley
warlobo,
who
helped
us
to
put
together
a
great
presentation
and
in
an
effective
resolution
that
we
had
some
discussion
on
on
tuesday
and
also
very
capably
chaired
by
council
member
chavez.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
vice
president
and
my
apologies
council.
Vice
president
palmisano
has
moved
the
committee
report.
Is
there
any
discussion.
P
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
again
echo
just
my
support
our
gratitude
for
the
support
that
I
receive
overwhelmingly
from
my
fellow
council
members
around
this
resolution.
P
P
I
this
resolution
would
not
be
before
us
without
their
help
and
their
expertise,
so
I
want
to
uplift
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
just
as
I
noted
on
tuesday,
knowing
that
this
is
just
one
step
of
many
and
addressing
you
know
so
many
aspects
of
the
broader
reproductive
rights
movement
and
making
sure
that
you
know
this
city
actually
remains
a
safeguard
site
for
reproductive
rights
and
bodily
autonomy.
P
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
appreciate
the
work
of
council
member
wansley
laurel
about
to
pull
the
resolution
together.
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
this
over
the
past
25
years.
Of
course,
and
I've
been
thinking
about
it
a
lot
over
the
past
week,
and
I
want
to
throw
out
this
idea
and
if
anyone
is
interested
in
working
with
me
on
it,
you're
welcome
to
do
so.
I'm
wondering
if
we
shouldn't
amend
the
city
civil
rights
ordinance
to
include
as
a
protected
class
those
persons
providing
are
seeking
access
to
abortion
and
reproductive
health
services.
O
O
So
I
want
to
throw
out
there
that
I
want
to
do
something
I
know,
and
I
don't
think
anyone
here
doesn't
or
maybe
some
are
less
comfortable
and
that's
okay,
but
those
of
us
that
want
to
do
something.
This
might
be
a
path
forward
and
I'm
going
to
spend
some
time
thinking
about
it,
and
I
would
urge
my
colleagues
who
are
interested
to
connect
with
me
later.
Maybe
we
can
take
yet
another
step.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
goodman,
and
as
well
as
councilmember
ellison
for
that
little
bit
of
levity,
but
also
it
really
points
to
the
fact
that
you
don't
have
to
be
a
woman
to
be
a
feminist
right,
and
so
thank
you.
I
put
myself
in
queue
just
to
acknowledge
this
resolution
and
thank
council
member
weinsley
warlob
for
bringing
it
forward
and
the
community
groups
that
participated.
A
I
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
reproductive
rights
are
and
and
the
movement
for
reproductive
rights
includes
the
rights
for
lgbt
identified
people
for
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
people,
because
really
what
is
going
on
at
the
national
level
and
what
has
been
happening
over
the
past
50
plus
years
since
roe
v
wade
has
been
was
made.
A
Law
by
the
supreme
court
has
been
an
attack
on
people's
abilities
to
have
autonomy
over
their
own
bodies,
and
so
we
have
to
recognize
the
intersections
of
these
attacks
on
women
on
communities
of
color
on
trans
and
gender,
non-conforming
commun
communities,
and
so
once
again
thank
you,
council
member,
weinsley
warlover
for
bringing
forward
this
resolution
and
also
councilmember
goodman
for
offering
to
to
further
codify
this
as
a
city
that
is
welcoming
and
supportive
of
reproductive
rights.
A
K
A
That
carries
and
that
report
is
adopted.
Our
next
committee
report
is
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
and
that
report
will
be
presented
by
the
vice
chair.
I
hope
council,
member
monsley
warlabah.

A
Thank
you,
council
member
councilmember
wants
me.
Rollerblade
warloba
has
moved
this
committee's
report.
Is
there
any
discussion
council
member
chavez.
K
A
The
entire
report
sans
19
through
24
items,
19
19
through
24,
as
well
as
a
request
by
mayor
frye,
to
hold
a
discussion
on.
A
A
And
we
have
discussion
from
council
member
a
question
or
comment
from
councilman.
A
Okay,
right
and
so.
P
J
K
A
That
I
am
carries,
and
I
will
now
call
on
council
member
chavez
to
speak
to
items
19
22.
N
A
All
it
was
going
to
okay
councilmember
ellison.
Did
you
want
to
speak
prior
to
that
vote.
Q
Yes,
I
would
like
to
move
approval
because
I
think
that
hasn't
quite
happened
yet
I
would
like
to
move
approval
of
items
19
20,
21
and
22.,
and
then
I'm
happy
to
speak
on
these
items
just
a
little
bit.
I
know
they
were
forwarded
without
recommendation.
So
that's
that's.
My
recommendation
is
that
we
approve
these
items
and
then
the
only
thing
I
would
say
further
is
that
you
know
I.
Q
I
continue
to
sort
of
share
frustration
with
the
public
and
with
my
colleagues
who
feel
challenged
by
these
worker
compensation
claims
I
have.
I
will
remain
and
continue
and
and
have
supported
the
passage
of
these
workers
compensation
claims,
and
so
I
want
to
explain
both
why
I
I
support
my
colleagues
who
are
protesting
against
them,
but
also
explain
why
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
pass
this.
This
work.
Q
One
is
that
you
know
we're
dealing
with
some
state
law
that
requires
us
to
pay
these
out
in
a
way
that
I
think
really
is
unfair,
and
that
is
not
an
issue
that
minneapolis
faces
alone.
That
is
an
issue
that
every
single
city
in
the
state
of
minnesota
is
facing.
Q
Because
of
some
state
policy
that
we
have
state
policy,
basically
making
it
really
accessible
and-
and
I
actually
think
it's
fine
for
it-
to
be
accessible
for
workers
to
get
access
to
ptsd,
but
in
every
other
instance
of
workers,
compensation
folks
have
to
prove
that
they
are
taking
steps
to
better
themselves
if
they
break
their
leg.
If
they
do
anything
else-
and
that
is
not
the
case
when
it
comes
to
these
ptsd
claims-
and
I
think
that
we
should
be
requiring
that
folks
show
that
they're
taking
steps
to
improve
their
injury.
Q
Regardless
of
that
injury.
And
so
that's
why
I
I
support
the
the
protests
that
my
colleagues
have
taken,
but
I
do
want
to
also
highlight
that
we
have
to
pay
these
claims
and
often
when
these
votes
come
up,
we're
talking
about
paying
the
the
settlement
amount
or
we're
talking
about
paying
a
higher
amount.
And
that's
really
the
debate.
That's
before
us.
Q
I
think
that
in
a
in
world,
where
in
a
city
where
we
are
having
to
pay
out
a
lot
of
money
to
the
police
department,
one
way
or
another,
whether
it's
through
these
worker
compensation,
claims,
whether
it's
through
you
know
the
budget,
anything
that
these
settlements
offer
an
opportunity
for
us
to
save
taxpayers
some
money.
I
think
that
that's
incredibly
important
and
I
think
that
we
have
an
obligation
to
honor
the
work
of
our
staff
and
pass
these
these
claims.
Q
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
point
just
because,
just
because
I
I
I
I
see
that
these
issues
have
become
a
bit
of
a
proxy
for
our
our
inability
to
get
some
to
get
some
accountability
in
mpd.
But
we
can't
but
that,
but
but
we
can't
allow
ourselves
to
fully
make
these
worker
compensation
claims
a
proxy
for
police
accountability.
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
to
say
that
if
anything
I've
said
is
is
out
of
step
or
out
of
line.
Q
I
would
I
would.
I
would
invite
the
city
attorneys
to
to
correct
me,
but,
but
I
think
it's
really
important-
that
we
pass
these
claims,
while
also
recognizing
the
frustration
that
the
public
has
and
that
some
of
my
colleagues
have
about
the
fact
that
we've
had
to
pay.
So
many
of
these
that's
all.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,
and
before
we
move
on
to
the
other
council
members
in
queue,
is
there
a
second
for
council
member
ellison's.
C
A
There
is
a
motion,
improper
second
discussion
council
member,
chuck
time.
F
Yeah
just
a
couple
of
things.
So,
first
of
all,
I
believe
that
council
member
chavez,
when
he
made
that
motion
to
pull
the
items
out
it
was
for
items
19
through
22
and
I
see
item
23
included
as
one
of
the
ones
that's
been
pulled
out.
So
just
want
to
flag
that
for
people.
I
know
that.
F
There's
a
proper
motion
in
a
second
right
now
and
don't
want
to
go
back
and
mess
things
up,
but
flagging
that
23
is
included
here
and,
and
it
shouldn't
be,
or
that
was
it
wasn't
the
intention
for
it
to
be
included.
F
And
then
you
know,
I
I
think
I
I
have
an
appreciation
for
council
member
ellison's
comments
and
certainly
an
appreciation
for
the
work
that
our
employees
and
staff
do
to
to
to
work
through
these
legal
settlements
and
and
bring
us
items
for
for
us
to
approve
and-
and
I
I
understand
that
the
barrier
that
we're
we're
facing
isn't
our
own
internal
policy,
but
rather
state
policy.
That
compels
us
to
do
certain
things.
F
F
State
barriers
are
frequently
cited
as
the
prohibitive
thing
in
in
us
carrying
out
the
will
of
the
public,
the
will
of
so
many
of
our
constituents
and
people
who
are
impacted
day
to
day,
and
you
know,
certainly
I'm
I'm
happy
to
call
it
a
protest
vote,
I'm
happy
to
call
it
whatever
people
feel
comfortable
with,
but
I
can't
feel
comfortable
with
rubber,
stamping
and
continuing
to
rubber
stamp,
something
that
I
know
and
I
believe
isn't-
is
broken
and
it's
not
working
and
and
and
is
costing
our
taxpayers
just
a
ridiculous
amount
of
money.
F
So
I
never
speak
to
these
when
when
they
come
up,
but
but
you
know,
since
council
member
ellison
brought
this
up,
I
just
you
know.
I
think
I
wanted
to
to
add
that
context
and
and
don't
really
feel
the
need
to
to
speak
to
this
again.
But
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
member
councilmember,
rawan's
league.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
council
member
checked,
I
also
just
kind
of
summarized
many
of
my
my
sentiments
around
these
legal
settlements.
I
don't
see
this.
As
you
know,
it's
simply
a
proxy
to
substituting
accountability
over
mpd,
we're
very
clear.
That's
not
within
the
terrain
of
our
legislative
authority,
that's
within
the
executive,
but
this
is
a
way
in
which
we
can
leverage
some
legislative
authority
and
work
with
our
staff
with
our
city
attorneys
to
figure
out.
Where
are
other
ways
in
which
we
can
address
these
settlements.
P
How,
as
even
council
member
ellison
named
what
are
some
of
the
parameters
that
we
can
take
up
on
the
policy
end
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
verification
process
around
how
claims
are
being
solicited
to
demonstrate
amongst
those
who
are
recipients
of
these
claims,
where
they
are
in
their
recovery
journeys?
Because
again,
there
is
lots
of
concerns
about
why
we
are
spending
millions
of
dollars
on
these
settlements.
It's
unclear
and
has
been
raised
in
this
this
space.
P
Before
of,
is
this
being
used
as
a
tool
to
avoid
discipline,
action,
and
so
there's
lots
of
concerns
around
how
these
settlements
are
being
utilized.
The
advisory
behind
it
as
well,
so
I
think
it's
within
the
absolute
you
know
legislative
authority
within
this
body
to
not
just
say
we're,
taking
a
protest
vote,
but
actually
to
say
we
need
to
create
some
some
substantial
changes,
alongside
with
our
staff,
with
the
executive
branch,
who
has
direct
oversight
over
mpd
to
make
sure
that
taxpayers
dollars
aren't
going
towards
officers
and
in
19
through
22.
P
P
That's
facing
not
only
this
body,
but
our
constituents
every
single
day
in
the
crisis
of
public
safety
that
we're
experiencing
right
now,
so
I
at
least
wanted
to
know
that,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
our
appropriate
staff
members,
our
attorneys
and
hopefully
coming
up
with
some
innovative
ways
to
really
strengthen
or
create
some
different
alternatives
around
these.
These
legal
settlements.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
next
and
cuba's
council
member
chavez.
N
I
would
just
like
to
thank
council
president.
I
would
just
like
to
push
back
on
the
notion
that
this
is
a
protest
vote.
I
think
at
this
very
moment
we're
in
closed
sessions
every
week
for
full
council
on
police
misconduct,
we're
in
closed
sessions
giving
millions
of
dollars
because
of
what
our
police
department
is
doing
and
we're
always
here
in
full
council
voting
on
police
settlements
when,
instead,
we
can
use
millions
of
dollars
to
invest
in
our
young
people
in
our
city
to
change
the
life
in
the
direction
of
what
is
happening
to
minneapolis.
N
A
Thank
you
councilmember
chavez
I
will
before
I
ask
the
kirk
to
call
the
role.
I
will
acknowledge
the
presence
of
mayor
frye,
who.
A
The
council
meeting
and
I
will
now
ask
the
clerk
to
to
call
a
role
on
items
19
through
22.
23.
K
Yes,
the
president
clarified
the
previous
vote
and
23
was
not
included
in
order
to
vote
on
23.
We
now
need
to
do
it
now,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
perhaps
council
member
chavez
did
not
say
number
23.
When
I
asked
for
clarification,
the
council
president
said
that
we
were
voting
on
items
1
through
22.,
so
23
needs
to
be
included
here.
If
we're
going
to
vote
on
it,
I'm.
A
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
Please
call
the
world
council.
K
A
Those
items
carry
and
the
report
the
entire
report
is
now
adopted.
Next
up
is
the
report
from
our
public
health
and
safety
committee.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
sir
carl,
if
you
could
change
my
vote
on
number
23
si.
Thank
you,
madam.
A
A
All
right,
so
we
will
now
return
back
to
item
number
24
from
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
report.
That
item
was
pulled
until
I
believe
until
the
mayor
arrives.
So
item
number
24.
A
E
I
would
briefly
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
just
to
be
clear.
This
is
the
workplace
safety
resolution.
Yes,
that's
correct!
Thank
you.
Colleagues,
thank
you
all
for
having
me
join
today
and
very
much
appreciate
your
willingness
to
shift
up
the
schedule
so
that
I
can
be
here
to
speak
to
it.
Throughout
the
the
first
quarter
of
this
year
I
have
received
a
disturbing
number
of
phone
calls
and
text
messages
and
emails
regarding
employees
who
have
had
their
lives
literally
threatened
due
to
safety
concerns
and
and
violence.
E
In
our
city
we
have
had
traffic
control
agents
had
gun
guns
pulled
on
them.
We've
had
people
that
are
just
trying
to
do
their
jobs
and
whether
that's
filling
potholes
or
inspecting
properties,
or
ensuring
safety
and
traffic
our
employees
deserve
to
feel
safe.
More
importantly,
and
perhaps
most
importantly,
there's
honor
in
this
work,
there
is
honor
in
the
work
that
each
and
every
one
of
our
four
thousand
plus
employees
do
every
day
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
are
honored
in
doing
it.
A
Cnn,
I
will
just
comment
that
I
too
strongly
support
workers
safety.
All
of
our
residents
of
minneapolis,
including
our
employees,
deserve
to
have
a
safe
and
supportive
workforce.
I
mean
workplace
and
many
of
our
for
many
of
our
employees.
Their
workplace
is
in
our
streets
and
our
communities,
and
so
we
must
do
all
that
we
can
to
help
keep
those
employees
healthy
and
safe,
while
performing
their
duties
on
behalf
of
the
residents
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so
I
I
support
this
resolution
as
well
and
see
no
further
comments.
Q
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
I
know
that,
like
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
work,
I'm
sure
this
is
this
is
an
enterprise-wide
problem,
but
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
a
lot
of
the
workers
that
the
mayor
mentioned
are
are
in
a
handful
of
departments,
and
I
know
regulatory
services
is
one
of
those
departments
where
employees
are
out
in
the
streets
they're
out
in
our
community,
and
I
just
wanted
to
commend
our
director.
Q
Q
I
just
wanted
to
to
hold
that
up
and
to
thanks
to
ray
for
her
leadership
and
and
all
of
our
directors
for
bringing
this
forward
for
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention
and
for
affirming
that
their
their
their
compassion
and
their
care
for
their
for
their
employees.
That's
all.
K
A
That
item
carries
and
that
resolution
is
adopted.
Next
is
our
report
from
our
I'm
sorry,
councilmember
checktime.
C
The
mayor
was
on
camera
with
the
tulips.
It
was
like
the
perfect
shot
of
him.
I'm
so
sorry,
thank
you.
Madam
president,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
has
two
items
that
is
being
recommended
for
approval
today.
The
first
item
is
accepting
a
2021
justice
assistance
grant
for
for
police
department
and
city
attorney's
office
support,
and
the
second
item
is
approving
the
revised
comprehensive
general
emergency
management
plan
with
that.
Madam
president,
I'll
move,
approval
of
these
items.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
vito,
councilmember
vital,
has
moved
this
committee's
report.
Is
there
any
discussion
council,
member
chuck.
F
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
would
just
like
to
pull
out
item
number
one
for
discussion.
A
You're
ready,
thank
you
councilmember
chuck
ty.
Is
there
any
further
discussion.
K
A
That
item
carries-
and
our
next
item
for
discussion
is
item
number
one
from
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
the
2021
justice
assistance
grant
for
police
department
and
city
attorney's
office
support.
That's
what
we're
talking
about.
F
I
just
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
justice
assistant
grant
report,
it's
frequently
known
as
the
jag
report,
and
it
came
into
attention
a
few
years
ago
in
the
public
when
hennepin
county
year-over-year
was
accepting
these
reports
and
then
telling
telling
us
that
the
there's
a
stipulation-
that's
usually
attached
to
this
report
through
the
federal
government
that
that
says
that
cities,
when
they
accept
this
money
when
they
accept
this
grant,
have
to
assist
the
federal
government
in
carrying
out
immigration,
related
policies
so
carrying
out
deportations
and
there
you
know
throughout
the
morning
we've
been
in
a
little
bit
of
a
back
and
forth
on
whether
that
stipulation
still
exists.
F
Whether
we
know
that
that's
going
to
be
the
case
in
this
report,
but
we
know
that
approval
of
of
this
grant
means
that
that
we
then
trigger
the
stipulations
of
the
contract
that
we
enter
into
with
the
federal
government.
And
we
don't
know
exactly
what's
included
in
that,
but
once
it's
approved,
we're
kind
of
you
know
bound
by
whatever,
whatever
the
federal
government
tells
us.
So
you
know,
we've
got
eric
nilsson
here
from
the
city.
F
Attorney's
office,
you
know
he
spoke
with
me
just
a
little
bit
about
the
changes
to
these
federal
stipulations
since
the
since
the
biden
administration
has
taken
power,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
invite
mr
nielsen
up
to
share
a
little
bit
with
us
and
help
us
confirm
that
we
are
not
we're
not
going
to
be
complying
with
the
federal
government
and
carrying
out
immigration,
related
policies
and
the
deportations
of
our
neighbors.
Thank
you.
R
You
good
morning,
council
president
jenkins
up
yes
casey.
I
know
we're
we're
told
not
to
touch
these.
I
think
all
right,
okay,
all
right!
Better!
Okay!
Is
this
okay!
Thank
you.
Council,
president
jenkins,
councilmember
chuck
die
yeah.
So
as
these
questions
just
arose
this
morning,
I'm
gonna
have
to
give
you
an
answer,
that's
largely
from
my
recollection
from
previous
years,
because
this
question
has
come
up
somewhat
regularly
over
the
last
few
years.
I
think
the
best
person
to
answer
this
is
probably
our
best
position
to
answer
it.
R
For
this
current
year
is
probably
mpd
finance
director,
robin
mcpherson
I'll,
say
this-
that
I'll
I'll
be
sure
to
to
check
on
the
requirements
for
this
year
and,
if
there's
anything
that's
concerning,
I
will
get
back
to
to
the
council,
but
but
in
the
past
no,
this
under
the
trump
administration
there
were
certain
certification
elements
that
were
added
to
the
application
process
that
were
concerning
to
elected
officials.
R
It's
my
understanding.
The
biden
administration
has
largely
rolled
all
of
those
back
and
and
and
that
it
in
terms
of
authorization
to
you,
know,
accept
the
grant.
You
know
we're
going
to
be
certain
to
review
all
that
before
before.
So
just
your
authorization
today
doesn't
mean
the
money
automatically
comes
in
I'll.
Just
say
this:
that
the
the
the
city,
the
jail,
is
run
by
the
county.
R
The
county
is
the
grantee
that
accepts
this
money
and
acts
as
the
fiscal
agent
and
then
distributes
it
to
the
sub-grantees
of
which
minneapolis
is
one
of
them,
and
so
the
notion
that,
if
the
city's
portion
of
this
money
would
go
away
that
this
would
somehow
affect
change
in
some
way
between
the
interaction
at
the
jail
between
federal
ice
officials
and
the
county
is
disingenuous.
R
The
sheriff
runs
the
jail
it's
a
county
jail,
so
so
that
that
argument
from
whatever
sectors
that
you
might
hear
that
is
is
not
entirely
true,
and
so
with
that
I'll
just
say
that
the
the
the
analysis,
the
analysis
in
the
past
has
been
that
this
grant
does
not
affect
our
separation,
ordinance,
the
validity
of
that
ordinance
or
our
status
as
a
as
a
sanctuary
city,
and
it
is
important
for
the
city
attorney's
office,
because
because
it
does
fund
one
of
our
community
attorney
positions
in
the
criminal
division.
F
I
really
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
so
I
believe
I
heard
this
from
you,
but
just
asking
more
clearly
that,
as
this
contract
is
being
carried
out,
we
would
we
would
if,
if
there
are
stipulations
that
are
included,
that
impact
our
our
separation
ordinance
in
any
way
or
could
impact
our
separation
ordinance
and
and
our
our
status
as
a
sanctuary
city,
in
any
way
that
you
will
come
back
and
report
that
to
council.
A
Thank
you,
mr
nielsen
council
member
chavez.
N
Thank
you
so
much
council
president.
I
just
want
to
ask
maybe
some
clarifications.
I
was
doing
some
research
over
this.
I
think
in
2017
the
department
of
justice
announced
that
it
would
withhold
federal
grants
from
state
and
local
jurisdictions
applying
to
the
fiscal
year
2017
justice
assistant
grant,
which
is
this
specific
grant,
I
think,
is
byron.
I
don't
know
how
to
say
his
name,
but
it's
bey.
N
They
would
be
forced
to
do
that
and
I
think
in
2019
the
ninth
circuit
upholded
blocking
grants
to
sanctuary
cities
and
just
want
to
know
if
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
to
that,
and
the
reason
why
it's
important
to
me,
if
you
is
you
know,
ward
9
has
one
of
the
biggest
undocumented
communities
in
the
entire
state
of
minnesota,
and
my
worry
is
that,
while
I
do
have
confirmation
from
your
office
that
we
won't
be
deporting
our
immigrant
neighbors,
I
do
fear
that
this
can
open
a
gateway.
N
R
Council
president
jenkins
council
member
chavez-
I
you
know,
I'm
not
I'm
not
prepared.
I
I
don't
I,
you
know
the
questions
came
up
this
morning
and
I'm
just
just
trying
to
answer
largely
from
recollection
happy
to
look
at.
If
you
have
specific
questions
would
like
to
to
pass
those
on
you.
Could
you
know
we
could
we
could
set
some
a
meeting
up?
If
you
want
to
email
me,
that's
fine!
R
I
will
get
back
to
you
as
soon
as
possible,
again
just
to
reiterate
that
you
know
the
the
the
in
terms
of
the
interaction
at
the
jail,
the
questions
that
are
asked
and
that
intersection
between
jail
officials
and
federal
officials
that
occurs
at
the
jail
and
it's
a
county,
jail
and
and
and
that's
the
sheriff
that
runs
that
so
it
does
not
affect
the
work
or
the
validity
of
our
separation,
ordinance
and
and
what
our
police
are
required
to
comply
with
in
the
field
that
this
none
of
this
affects
that
the
status
of
that.
N
I
would
say
that
I
don't
feel
comfortable
supporting
this
at
this
very
moment,
but
I
would
just
ask
and
please
that
you
work
closely
with
my
office
here
in
ward
9
as
we
move
this
forward,
because
it's
something
that
is
really
important
to
my
heart
and
the
people
I
represent,
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do.
Thank
council.
A
Thank
you,
council
member
wesley,
wallaby.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
had
more
concerns
about
this
grant
of.
I
believe,
and
please
correct
me
if
I'm
I'm
wrong.
Our
or
mpd
has
received
this
grant
since
2005.,
and
just
noting,
since
you
know
the
release
of
the
dhr
report,
it
looks
at
a
pretty
extensive
period
in
which
we
have
failed
to
rise
to
the
occasion
of
really
addressing
so
many
of
the
shortcomings
that
that
exists
within
mpd
around
racialized
dynamics,
gender
dynamics.
P
So
I'm
more
so
interested
in
you
know,
since
the
past
17
years,
what's
going
to
happen
differently
with
the
usage
of
this
grant,
that
will
shape
better
outcomes
from
what
was
identified
in
this
pretty
damning
department
of
human
rights
report.
So
for
that
basis
alone,
I'm
not
supporting
that
this
grant
today,
but
I
at
least
wanted
to
name
that
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
raising
also
the
concerns
and
the
connections
around
how
this
can
impact
and
has
impacted
our
immigrant
communities
in
the
past.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
weinsley
warlobah
and
say
no,
what
I'm
sorry
councilmember
b-town.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
None
of
this
came
up
in
committee,
so
I'm
a
little
taken
aback
by
the
conversation
we're
having
so
I'd
rather
move
it
back
to
committee
at
this
point,
so
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
this
and
get
more
clarity
around
this.
I
I
had
no
idea
that
we
would
have
this
banter
in
full
council
on
this,
because
it
came
out
of
committee
with
a
unanimous
vote
and
we
didn't
have
discussion
this
robust
discussion
on
this
item.
So
I'd
rather
see
it
come
back
to
committee,
please
I.
A
Would
second
that
so,
is
that
a
motion
council
member
v1?
Yes,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
proper
second
to
return.
This
item
item
number
one
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
report
to.
J
A
None
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
a
role
on
that.
A
That
carries
and
that
item
will
return
to
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
for
its
next
cycle.
And
so
finally,
we
have
the
report
from
our
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
and
that
report
will
be
presented.
A
F
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
is
bringing
forward
four
items
for
approval
today.
The
first
one
is
authorizing
the
submittal
of
grant
applications
to
the
minnesota
department
of
transportation
for
2022
federal
highway
safety
improvement
program
funds.
The
second
is
accepting
a
grant
from
the
mcknight
foundation
for
the
midwest
climate
and
energy
program.
F
The
third
is
authorizing
subordinate
funding
agreement
number
seven
with
the
metropolitan
council
to
reimburse
the
city
for
construction
costs
related
to
the
metro,
green
line
extension
project
and
the
fourth
is
authorizing
subordinate
agreement
or
subordinate
funding
agreement
number
eight.
I
apologize
with
the
metropolitan
council
to
reimburse
the
city
for
the
relocation
of
traffic
signal,
fiber
optic
infrastructure
related
to
the
metro,
green
line
extension
project.
I'm
happy
to
move
approval
of
all
of
these
items.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
chug,
thai
councilmember,
chuck
thai,
has
moved
approval
of
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee.
Is
there
any
discussion.
K
O
A
O
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
am
proud
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
appointment
of
tom
hock
to
be
the
chair
of
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
board
of
directors
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
There
is
no
greater
resource
for
those
most
in
need
of
housing
who
live
and
sometimes
suffer
at
30
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
and
as
paying
to
live
in
public
housing.
Public
housing
is
a
resource
that
is
so
incredibly
valuable
that
its
stewardship
is
incredibly
important.
O
Abdi
warsami,
our
former
colleague,
has
moved
over
to
the
public
housing
authority
and
made
incredible
strides
in
order
to
improve
the
authority's
operation
and
be
extremely
sensitive
to
the
concerns
of
residents.
As
we
have
seen
in
committee
and
then
council
over
the
past
couple
of
months,
he
has
moved
forward
on
increasing
the
number
of
opportunities
for
people
to
live
in
single-family
homes,
to
the
tune
of
about
85
units.
He's
worked
to
preserve
the
elliott
twins,
a
property
that
used
to
be
in
my
ward,
that
is
now
on
council
member
osmonds
ward.
O
O
He
has
been
respected
and
also
a
contact
for
mr
warsame,
who
is
the
director,
and
he
has
had
a
distinguished
career
working
in
the
city
as
well
as
the
deputy
director
at
the
old
mcda,
as
the
founder
of
the
hennepin,
theater
trust
and,
quite
frankly,
as
a
candidate
for
mayor
against
our
current
mayor.
O
So
some
might
think
that
the
current
mayor
would
not
dig
into
who
would
be
the
best
person
if
potentially
they
were
opponents,
but
this
mayor
has
determined
that
many
of
the
people
who
have
run
against
him
over
time
have
incredible
value
to
add
in
the
organization.
I
think
it
was
a
very
wise
move
for
the
mayor
to
appoint
mr
hoke.
I
think
it
was
a
wise
move
for
mr
hoke
to
accept
this
appointment.
I
will
note
as
chair.
It
is
a
massive
amount
of
work.
O
It
is
an
unpaid
position
and
it
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
really
need
someone
who
is
knowledgeable
about
how
public
housing
works.
Smart
enough
to
understand,
what's
happening
at
hud,
compassionate
enough
to
feel
for
the
residents
and
ultimately
committed
enough
to
ensure
that
this
very
valuable
resource
stays
healthy,
funded
and
our
residents
are
happy
participating
and
living
in
public
housing.
I
am
thrilled
that
he
has
agreed
to
serve
in
this
capacity.
O
O
Members
of
the
biz
committee
will
have
the
opportunity
to
see
those
appointments
through
the
open
appointments
process
in
the
coming
months.
I
believe
we
have
at
least
two
appointments
to
make,
and
I
know
we
will
be
doing
our
due
diligence
to
take
a
look
at
the
balance
of
the
people
on
the
board
and
appoint
people
who
create
balance,
diversity
and
inclusion
in
this
very
important
board.
So
I
urge
of
yes
vote
because
I
believe
that
mr
hoke
is
highly
experienced
in
this
regard
and
I
am
proud
the
mayor
has
nominated
him.
P
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
see
appointments
as
an
opportunity,
especially
knowing
the
conditions
and
reputation
of
our
public
housing
authority.
P
I
see
this
as
an
opportunity
for
us
through
appointments
to
reflect
on
the
type
of
commissioner
that
would
and
can
strengthen
the
credibility
of
our
public
housing
institution
and
the
type
of
protections
and
services
that
it
provides
to
so
many
of
our
residents,
many
of
which
are
still
extensive
on
an
extensive
waitlist
and
for
me
I
see
that
appointment
as
being
or
a
commissioner
ideal,
commissioner,
would
be
someone
who
has
direct
experience,
especially
in
this
crucial
time,
and
that
direct
experience
can
be
more
so
than
an
actual
public
housing
resident,
and
for
those
reasons
I
would
not
be
supporting
this
appointment.
P
I'm
a
little
bit
familiar
with
tom
hope's
background.
I
know
there
you
are
a
landlord.
I
know
you've
been
a
long
time.
You
know
actor
in
our
political
landscape,
as
councilmember
goodman
noted,
and
also
know
that
you've
had
prior
experience
with
our
public
housing
association
and,
more
so
have
some
experience
around
the
the
painful
passage
of
the
homan
decree,
which,
for
many
public
housing
residents,
feel
actually
helped
to
kick
off
the
privatization
of
public
housing.
P
So
I
recognize
also
in
the
last
decade
there
has
been
a
pattern
of
appointees
with
ties
to
being
property
owners
and
developers
and
they're
being
put
in
positions
of
a
power
over
our
public
assets
like
public
housing,
and
I
think
again
that
the
last
the
last
thing
that
we
need
at
this
current
juncture
of
our
public
housing
institution
in
terms
of
oversight
and
being
able
to
tend
to
the
needs
of
public
housing
residents.
I
think
the
last
thing
we
need
is
another,
long-time
political
actor.
P
We
need
direct
representation
from
those
who
experience
the
shortcomings
of
the
institutions
who
are
committed
to
not
only
protecting
the
the
services
that
it
provides,
but
the
institution
itself
and
that's
going
to
work
with
council
members
like
ourselves
to
also
expand
the
supports
that
it
receives
because,
yes,
you
are
absolutely
right.
Council,
member
goodman
federally
there's
limited
support,
that's
happening
for
our
public
housing
institutions,
so
I
know
there
is
an
expansive
list
of
housing
advocates,
especially
those
who
are
public
housing
residents
of
themselves
in
our
community.
P
Who
have
that
commitment
who
want
to
strengthen
our
public
housing
institutions
who
are
excited
to
work
with
us
about
growing
the
landscape
of
our
public
housing
apartments
and
portfolios,
and
specifically
not
in
segregated
areas
of
the
city.
They
would
like
to
grow
it
all
across
the
city,
so
we
can
have
units
in
ward
13
as
much
as
we
do
in
ward,
5
or
as
in
in
war
ii.
So
I
really
would
have
liked
to
seen
this
be
a
opportunity
to
have
that
representation
be
brought
forward.
P
I
look
forward
to
also
seeing
that,
when
those
appointments
come
through
our
legislative
end
to
have
someone
who
is
directly
rooted
and
receive
these
services
to
really
govern
one
of
the
the
few
remaining
public
assets
that
we
have.
So
for
those
reasons
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
appointment.
A
Thank
you,
council
member
councilmember,
azmin.
T
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I,
as
someone
who
is
most
my
residents,
majority
of
the
public
housing,
is
located
in
ward
6
and,
as
you
mentioned,
that
there's
a
huge
lack
of
funding
on
on
the
properties
as
historically
there
has
been
safety
concern
for
the
residents
that
live
there.
This
resident
are
very
low
income
families,
seniors
people
with
disabilities
and
they
rely
on
proper
housing
and,
as
I
talked
to
the
director
public
housing
and
people
that
have
worked
in
public
housing,
people
that
live
in
the
public
housing
there.
T
I've
always
mentioned
that
finding
a
way
to
improve
the
quality
of
of
of
the
housing
they
live
in.
I
didn't
know
tom
hawks
before
the
committee.
I
asked
him
few
questions
and
and
what
I
wanted
to
see
and
what
I
want.
T
The
answers
I
wanted
to
hear
is:
would
we
be
able
to
create
more
units,
expand
public
housing
throughout
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
also
find
a
new
way
of
funding
public
housing,
minneapolis
public
housing,
not
just
federally,
but
also
finding
other
ways,
and
I
was
very
satisfied
with
his
answers
and-
and
I
I
think
that
putting
someone
in
this
kind
of
leadership
position.
It
has
to
be
someone
with
experience
and
someone
that
can
bring
more
revenue
and
create
a
better
environment
for
for
my
resident
and
for
the
resident
of
minneapolis
public
housing.
T
So
I
will
be
supporting
and
for
for
his
selection,
and
I'm
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
talk
about
a
way
to
improve
many
of
the
housing.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
proud
to
move
tom
hoak's
name
forward
as
an
appointment
for
the
new
chair
of
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
As
has
already
been
stated,
he's
got
extensive
experience.
E
He
is
willing
to
do
the
work
and
that
experience
and
work
is
necessary,
ultimately
to
make
the
changes
that
I
think
everybody
up
here
is
advocating
for
which
is
making
sure
that
the
units
are
of
habitable
condition,
one
and
two
we
have
more
of
them.
As
has
been
mentioned,
our
federal
government
has
consistently
underfunded
public
housing,
since
basically
the
80s
that
lack
of
funding
has
led
to
severe
repercussions
both
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
for
the
residents
that
live
in
that
public
housing
every
single
day.
E
That's
on
all
of
us
to
change
and
the
implication
that
somehow
taking
a
bolder
stance
will
minimize
the
the
detriment
that
we've
experienced
over
the
last
40
years
at
the
at
in
this
particular
position.
It's
just
dead
wrong.
E
Tom
hope
has
been
known
to
be
that
kind
of
leader
and,
if
we're
going
to
disqualify
somebody
because
of
their
past
political
involvement,
I
would
expect
that
to
be
the
objective
criteria
for
all
appointments
moving
forward
by
the
way,
I
think
that
should
not
be
the
criteria
people
who
are
involved
in
politics.
Many
people
who
are
involved
in
politics
are
involved
in
politics
because
they
want
to
make
the
city
a
better
place.
E
That
is
the
case
with
tom
hoke.
That
is
the
case
with
countless
other
individuals,
and
I
don't
think
that
he
should
be
disqualified
for
the
very
same
reason
that
you
wouldn't
disqualify
others,
and
so
I
ask
for
your
support
on
this
he's.
An
excellent
candidate
he'll
do
good
work
for
mpha
and
I'm
proud
to
support
him.
O
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
note
for
the
record
that
the
public
housing
authority
board
has
eight
current
members
to
our
residents
of
public
housing
so,
and
I
believe
one
I
for
sure
one
of
them
is
our
appointment.
I'm
not
sure
if
one
of
them
is
also
the
mayor's
appointment,
I'll
note
over
half
the
board
is
women
and
almost
all
of
the
board
are
either
women
or
people
of
color.
O
So
it
seems
like
at
this
point
the
council
and
mayor
have
done
a
pretty
good
job
of
looking
at
how
to
balance
these
various
appointments.
I'll
also
note
as
council
member
wansley
warlubba
did,
but
I
see
it
a
bit
differently.
I
would
not
use
the
painful
passage
of
the
holman
decree
as
exactly
historically
accurate.
O
The
holmen
decree
happened
before
I
came
on
to
the
council,
so
we
could
make
a
joke
about
how
long
ago
that
was,
but
it
was
before
my
time
on
the
council.
But
when
I
started
on
the
council,
I
was
one
of
the
people
tasked
with
trying
to
put
the
pieces
back
together
as
it
pertained
to
building
out
heritage
park,
which
many
would
view
as
an
enormous
success,
because
in
the
passage
of
the
homeland
degree
and
the
consent
decree
that
followed,
every
person
who
wanted
to
stay
in
minneapolis
did.
O
But
many
did
not
many
east
africans
and
others
moved
to
the
suburbs
and
created
vibrant
communities
out
in
the
suburbs
as
a
result
of
that
decree,
which
gave
them
locational
choice.
So
we
assume
that
everyone
who
lives
in
public
housing
wants
to
live
where
they
are,
but
ultimately
they
want
to
have
options
throughout
the
metro
area
and
we've
seen
very,
very
vibrant
communities
with
section
8
certificates
and
project-based
section
8
happening
in
the
suburbs.
O
And
so
ultimately,
while
holmen
was
painful
in
the
sense
that
the
public
housing
authority
stepped
forward
and
said
they
had
a
history
of
not
being
able
to
place.
People
where
they
wanted
to
be
holmen
was
put
in
place
to
allow
for
that
placement
in
locations
other
than
where
holmen
was.
And
then
we
created
heritage
park
for
those
who
wanted
to
stay.
F
Yeah,
I
just
you
know,
want
to
add
a
couple
of
comments
to
this
conversation.
That's
been
happening
here.
F
You
know
I'm
in
deep
agreement
that
tom
hoke
is
someone
who
comes
with
extensive
experience
in
in
understanding
the
landscape
on
public
housing
and
ensuring
that
you
know
he's
got
the
experience
working
with
the
federal
government
with
our
state
partners,
with
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
his
in
his
tenure
at
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
a
couple
of
things
that
I'll
note
you
know
I
had
the
chance
to
to
meet
with
tom
following
our
public
hearing.
I
know
we
were
short
on
time.
F
I
he
answered
a
lot
of
questions
and
you
know
I.
I
know
that
we
only
had
two
people
apply
for
this
appointment.
I
understand
the
the
landscape,
but
the
the
reality
is.
You
know
a
couple
of
things
that
I
find
concerning
one
that
in
the
public
hearing
we
heard
tom
describe,
you
know
what
we
need
to
do
to
protect
our
our
portfolio
of
public
housing
and
and
deeply
affordable
housing
units,
and
I
think
it's
it's
a
little
concerning
that.
F
Somebody
who
wants
to
be
the
board
chair
of
the
public
housing
authority
isn't
necessarily
sure
that
the
investment
we
need
to
be
making
right
now
is
in
public
housing.
I
I
absolutely
you
know,
and-
and
he
could
continue
to
make
that
point
by
saying
you
know
we
need
to
work
with
all
of
these
other
partners
and
he's
not
wrong
about
that.
We
absolutely
do
we
need
to
work
with
our
non-profit
partners.
F
We
need
to
work
with
with
the
state
government
and
the
federal
government,
but
the
you
know
I
would
want
to
see
a
board
chair,
who's
gonna
advocate
for
increasing
our
stock
of
public
housing
and
the
maintenance
of
that
and
then
I'll
add
just
a
little
bit
on
the
holman
decree
and
the
consent
decree
that
came
out
of
it.
F
This
this
there
was
an
extensive
study
that
was
that
was
done
and
published
in
2002
on
the
on
the
holman
v
cisneros
case,
and
then
the
consent
decree
that
came
out
of
it.
That
dug
in
a
little
bit
more
on
the
suburban
choice,
piece
right.
The
idea
that
we
need
to
give
people
the
choice
to
live
wherever
they
want
to,
because
you
know,
I
think,
council,
good
council
member
goodman
is
right.
F
Not
every
person
who
lives
in
public
housing
wants
to
live
in
the
neighborhood
they're
in
and
the
study
was
was
con,
concluded
that
the
idea
of
suburban
choice
and
and
people
flocking
to
the
suburbs-
just
wasn't
true.
F
In
fact,
the
majority
of
residents
who
who
left
the
the
the
700
units
that
were
destructed
as
a
result
of
this
decree,
lived
within
three
miles
of
where
they
were
before,
except
they
moved
around
a
lot
more
frequently
and
that
giving
people
the
choice
to
live
wherever
they
want
to
giving
somebody
a
voucher
and
saying
all
right.
F
You
can
go
live
wherever
you
want
to
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
they're
going
to
get
to
be
able
to
go,
live
in
edina
or
minnetonka
or
any
other
suburb,
because
the
the
place
where
they're
going
has
to
accept
that
voucher.
The
community
that
they're
going
into
has
to
accept
that
they
are
coming
right
and
it
changes
the
reality
of
a
person's
in
a
family's
conditions.
When
you
know
they're
trying
to
move
to
a
different
community,
but
it
you
know
it's
because
they
want
their
kids
to
be
in
better.
F
Schools
want
to
be
in
a
different
environment
but
the,
but
there
isn't
access
to
all
of
the
other
things
that
they
need
to
make
their
lives
work
right.
Can't
shop
at
a
london
buyer
leaves
because
you
can't
pay
two
dollars
for
cilantro,
because
you're
used
to
paying
70
cents
and
that's
what
your
budget
accounts
for
and
so
the
the
reality
is.
F
There
were
mixed
results
from
from
the
holman
consent
decree
and
and
that's
true
for
every
big
thing
that
we
work
on,
and
so
I
just
I
want
to
push
back
against
this
notion
that
that
the
decree
resulted
in
in
this
massive
suburban
choice
and
flock
to
people
living
in
whatever
community.
They
wanted
to
that's
just
straight
up,
not
true.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
chuck
taye
nixon
q
is
council.
Member
wants
lee
wallaby.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
just
also
want
to
give
thanks
to
councilmember
chuck
thai
for
giving
a
a
nice
little
101
on
the
home
and
decree
and
the
actual
impacts
of
it.
I
also
want
to
scrutinize
this
bit
of
it
is
important
about
the
candidates
and
the
appointees
political
background,
and
in
terms
of
when
we're
using
decision-making
power
to
put
them
in
places
where
they
can
oversee
our
public
institutions.
P
The
reason
why
is
even
more
important
now
is
considering
the
possible
conditions
that
led
to
the
resignation
of
the
chair
which
tom
hulk
is
replacing,
so
it
is
very
important
that
we
realize
or
have
a
understanding
of
the
connections
of
political
interests
and
expertise
that
our
candidates
are
affiliated
with,
especially
when
we're
coming
into
making
decisions
about
public
institutions,
which
we
know
at
this
city
enterprise
have
very
very
just
limited
credibility
right
now
in
the
eyes
of
the
public.
So
it's
absolutely
rightfully
so
for
us
to
really
interrogate
a
bit
about
what
is
the
background?
P
What
is
the
credibility?
How
is
this
person
going
to
add
to
the
credibility
or
lessen
the
credibility
of
our
public
assets?
So
that's
absolutely
an
important
thing,
and
also
I
want
to
know
for
this
legislative
body.
If
we
are
saying
that
two
public
housing
residents
out
of
the
eight
member
board
is
pretty
sufficient
in
representing
the
26
000
public
housing
residents
that
live
in
minneapolis,
the
bar
is
low,
and
I
would
like
to
see
more
than
half
of
that.
We
have
received
presentations
before,
or
I
hope
in
in
your
conversations
with
wasa.
P
So
I
would
love
to
see
that
to
grow
expansively,
because
that
is
what
democratic
representation
would
then
reflect
of
the
actual
population
that
is
serving
and
that
the
appointee
that
we're
considering
today
is
not
that
individual.
It
does
not
reflect
the
actual
base
of
working-class
people
that
this
institution
serves
and
who
are
really
excited
to
help
strengthen
the
credibility
of
it
and
such
a
vulnerable
moment.
That
is
in
right
now.
A
Is
there
any
further
discussion?
I
will
state
for
the
record
that
I
am
in
support
of
this
nomination.
A
I
do
believe
that
mr
hope
brings
a
wealth
of
experience
in
navigating
hud
and
our
federal
partners,
which
I
think
is
critically
important
at
this
time
when
we
really
need
resources
to
support
public
housing
in
public
housing
has
to
be
a
major
part
of
our
affordable
housing
response
for
for
residents
who
are
struggling
to
to
meet
the
30
of
area,
medium
house,
house
income,
and
so
for
those
reasons
I
I'm
supporting
this
nomination.
A
I
do
think
that
we
have
resident
boards
at
all
of
our
public
housing
facilities
that
provide
input
to
the
mpha
board,
and
so
I
I
do
think
that
there's
representation
from
actual
residents
of
those
public
housing
facilities,
and
so
I
am
going
to
be
in
support
of
this
nomination
as
well,
and
would
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
K
H
A
Yeah,
I'm
sorry,
it
came
in
right
when
I
was
referring
to
the
clerk
councilmember
ellison.
Are
you
wanting
to
speak
to
this
item.
Q
Yeah
I'll
keep
it
really
short
and
I
apologize.
I
did
put
my
name
in
late,
so
I
was
gonna.
You
know
not
bother,
but
I
appreciate
the
time
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
am
gonna
be
supporting
this
nomination.
It
is
not
that
I
don't
I'm
not
without
my
criticisms
of
tom
hoke.
I
originally
when
I
heard
his
name
up
for
discussion.
Q
I
was
a
little
bit
confused
just
because
I
know
of
his
work
with
the
hennepin
theater
trust
and
wasn't
aware
of
some
of
his
history,
but
I
think
that
there's
really
one
basic
reason
why
I'm
finding
it
appropriate
at
this
time
to
support
his
nomination
and
that's
because
our
public
housing
stock
it
quite
frankly
is-
is
in
an
existential
crisis
and
the
people
who
are
in
charge
of
keeping
it
alive,
former
council,
member
warsami
and
his
team.
They
want
the
support
they
want
the
support
of
tom
hook.
Q
That's
really
simple
analysis
for
me.
I
didn't
you
know
with
all
due
respect
to
tom.
I
didn't
support
him
when
he
ran
for
mayor.
I
hope
that's
okay
and
I,
but
I
do,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I've
taken
some
time
to
really
understand
his
his
history
with
public
housing
and
I've
got
to
have
some
respect
for
that
tom
hoke
for
better
or
worse.
Q
He
is
there
in
a
volunteer
capacity
to
lend
his
expertise
in
finding
funding
and
into
aid
the
people
who
are
responsible
for
keeping
public
housing
alive
during
this
existential
crisis
that
public
housing
is
in.
Q
That's
all,
I'm
sure
that
he
will
bring
his
whole
personality,
but
truth
is,
is
that
in
this
role
he
is
not
being
asked
to
bring
his
whole
self
he's
being
asked
to
bring
his
expertise
in
public
housing,
and
so
the
people
who
are
and
and
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say,
is
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
he's
going
to
be
the
board
chair,
but
he
is
not
going
to
be
in
charge.
Q
Abdi
warasami
is
in
charge.
His
team
are
are
working
through
the
due
diligence
to
keep
the
public
housing
stock
alive.
They've
shown
that
they
are
quite
skilled
at
playing
in
what
I
would
refer
to
as
a
really
really
bad
sandbox.
Q
That
the
federal
government
has
created
for
them
they're,
building
more
units
at
a
time
where
that
maybe
seems
kind
of
impossible,
and
so,
and
so
I
trust
that,
regardless
of
what
my
criticisms
might
be
of
tom
hook
as
somebody
who's
involved
in
politics
in
our
city,
regardless
of
all
of
that,
that
the
the
people
who
are
in
charge
are
going
to
understand
exactly
what
kind
of
relationship
they
want
to
have
with
with
somebody
on
the
board
and
that
they
know
exactly
what
kind
of
expertise
they
need,
what
kind
of
perspectives
they
need
and
what
kind
of
perspectives
they
don't
need,
and
so
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
I.
Q
A
K
Nay,
councilmember
ellison
aye
council.
Vice
president
palmisano
aye,
president
jenkins
aye.
There
are
nine
eyes
and
three
nays.
A
That
item
carries
and
colleagues
we
will
now
move
to
the
new
business
portion
of
our
agenda
and
and
come
back
to
the
resolutions.
We
have
four
nominations
offered
by
the
mayor
for
charter
department,
head
positions,
the
city
coordinator,
the
director
of
regulatory
services,
the
director
of
cped
and
the
city
assessor.
E
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
am
extremely
excited
to
move
these
four
department
heads
forward
for
your
consideration:
heather,
suray,
andrea
and
rebecca.
They
are
extremely
talented
people.
They
are
dedicated
public
servants
both
to
their
teams
and
their
cities
and
they're
the
right
people
in
this
particular
moment,
and
these
four
women
exemplify
excellence
in
everything
they
do
and,
to
be
frank,
we
are
really
lucky
to
have
them
for
an
enterprise
that
has
for
so
long
relied
on
white
men
as
charter
department
heads
in
these
positions.
E
Now
we
have
none
left
and
that's
not
a
dig
on
white
men,
but
more
an
affirmation
of
the
incredible
women
that
occupy
these
roles.
They
occupy
them
because
of
their
talent
because
of
their
expertise
and
their
ability
to
manage
extremely
difficult
situations,
which
they
have
shown
time
and
time
again,
especially
over
the
last
several
months
and
year,
working
alongside
them.
I
have
seen
firsthand
their
unmatched
talents
and
dedication
to
the
the
city
and
the
staff
specifically,
and
I
appreciate
your
time
and
I
ask
for
your
support.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
frye,
councilmember,
payne,.
S
I
want
to
share
my
personal
story
in
history
in
city
hall,
I
started
in
city
hall
as
a
contractor
in
2016
in
the
coordinators
department,
and
the
reason
I
am
at
the
dais
today
speaking
is
because
of
a
pretty
toxic
history
of
the
culture
of
the
coordinator's
office,
and
that
was
a
systemic
problem
that
became
very
acute
following
the
murder
of
george
floyd.
S
I
was
working
on
a
a
team,
a
black
led
team,
and
it
was
extraordinarily
traumatizing
and
challenging
to
work
for
the
city
in
the
wake
of
that
tragedy,
and
one
of
the
things
that
inspired
me
to
run
was
this
recognition
that
this
city
can
be
better
and
it
needs
to
be
better
and
that
some
of
the
problems
that
we're
facing
culturally
within
our
city
actually
stems
from
the
top.
It
stems
from
the
inherent
conflict
of
power
structures
between
a
mayor's
office
and
a
council
body.
It's
not
about
this
mayor,
and
it's
not
about
this
body.
S
S
And
I
know
that
a
lot
of
my
former
colleagues
don't
feel
supported,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
know
they
are
supported
and
deeply
supported.
Because
we've
been
through
a
lot
as
a
city.
We've
been
through
a
lot
as
an
enterprise
and
there's
not
a
lot
of
black
led
teams
within
the
city
and
of
the
black
lead
teams
that
we
have
had.
S
A
Thank
you
councilmember
payne,
next
and
cuellar's
council
member
wants
leeward.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
before
I
get
to
the
second
kind
of
concern
council
member
payne
braced
a
couple
of
things-
and
this
is
connected
to
the
appointment-
that
we
discussed
as
I've
noted
the
city
enterprise
and
our
reputation,
especially
following
the
wake
of
george
floyd,
is
in
one
of
the
most
precarious
positions.
P
I
think
it's
ever
been,
and
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
look
at
who
is
committed
to
making
the
enterprise
be
not
only
reflective
of
the
diverse
working-class
communities
that
we
serve,
but
also
are
committed
to
the
values
of
carrying
out
anti-racist.
P
Measures
so
that
not
only
externally
we're
seeing
you
know
in
a
different
light
in
in
in
terms
of
our
our
history
and
our
commitment
towards
anti-racist
values,
but
that
needs
to
also
be
committed
internally
and
there's
been
again
a
pattern
where
that
has
not
happened,
and
I
think
it
would
be
very
intentional
of
us
if
we
not
consider
our
appointment,
especially
in
light
of
some
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
by
our
staff
for
the
city
coordinator's
office.
At
this
current
juncture,
I
think
we
should
put
that
on
pause.
P
We
should
also
be
looking
to
open
up
to
a
national
search,
because
what
I
don't
want
to
happen
is
what
we're
seeing,
quite
frankly,
the
executive's
office
mayor
frye,
did
with
mpd.
We
have
a
interim
police
chief
who
was
named
in
a
racial
discrimination,
lawsuit
of
a
outgoing
police
chief,
the
black
police
chief.
I
do
not
want
to
see
us
utilize
a
similar
practice,
knowing
that
there
is
tons
of
concerns
about
toxicity
around
racist
work
environments
across
all
departments
in
the
city
enterprise.
P
So
we
have
an
opportunity
right
now
to
display
some
some
lessons,
hopefully
that
we've
or
reflections
from
the
past
two
year
period
that
we
are
not
committed
to
supporting
or
being
incomplicit
as
what
was
named
in
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
report.
It
named
that
many
of
the
leadership
that
has
been
here
during
the
juncture
of
that
report
that
10
year
period
was
aware
of
the
toxic
dynamics,
the
racist
dynamics
that
existed
within
the
mpd.
It
also
notes
that
that
extends
across
also
all
city
enterprise
departments.
P
So
we
have
the
opportunity
to
not
be
complicit
to
continue
to
lean
into
what
we
know
creates
racist
dynamics
for
not
only
our
employees
here,
but
also
for
the
constituents
that
we
serve.
So
I
would
like
us
to
not
actually
consider
this
appointment
at
this
current
time.
Until
we
get
more
information,
I
realize
that
hr
is
leading
a
robust
process
with
our
staff
who
have
named
these
concerns.
P
P
P
So
I
do
not
feel
comfortable
moving
forward
with
the
appointments,
at
least
in
the
city
coordinators
realm.
I
also
find
it
interesting
that
the
public
hearing
is
also
being
referred
to
the
committee
of
the
whole
when
the
city
coordinator's
office
reports
to
pogo
the
policy
and
government
oversight
and
the
appointment
of
reg
services,
director
garnett,
as
well
as
with
doc,
director
brennan.
P
Those
appointments
are
moving
through
the
appropriate
committees
of
biz
and
for
some
reason,
unlike
number
four,
the
city
assessor,
which
also
reports
to
pogo
I'm
seeing
on
the
city
coordinators
apartment
public
hearing,
is
being
moved
to
cal,
so
that
even
raises
some
red
flags
to
me
of
why
we
are
we're
changing
a
a
procedural
process.
That's
not
applicable
to
the
rest
of
the
appointments.
P
So
with
that,
I
will
leave
my
comments
there.
I
would
like
to
not
take
this
appointment
up.
I
think
it
would
be
a
disservice
to
us
or
those
of
us
who
are
saying
we're
really
committed
to
building
the
reputation
of
our
enterprise
as
being
more
equitable
as
being
more
just,
and
that
needs
to
be
reflective,
not
just
in
the
external
work
that
we
do.
But
it
has
to
start
at
the
home
base
and
it
has
to
start
internally.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
next
and
q
is
council.
Vice
president
paul
masano.
B
B
This
body
is
meant
to
be
a
deliberative
one,
and
I
encourage
each
of
us
to
dig
deeply
on
this
and
ask
yourself
if
these
levels
of
attack
on
a
person's
character
by
a
majority
of
people
who
would
simply
have
no
way
of
assessing
this
person's
character,
is
a
good
or
appropriate
way
to
approach.
The
serious
work
of
governing
ms
johnson
has
demonstrated
excellence
in
every
role
she
has
ever
served
in
including
this
one
moments
like
these
are
going
to
define
our
ability,
as
a
city
enterprise,
to
recruit
the
most
talented
people
into
our
city.
B
F
Yeah,
I
honestly
can't
believe
that
I'm
the
one
saying
this,
but
you
know
we're
just
referring
each
of
these
appointments
to
committees.
That's
all
we're
doing
here.
I
don't
really!
I
you
know.
While
I
appreciate
the
comments
that
all
of
my
colleagues
have
made,
those
are
very
appropriate
for
the
hearing
and
those
are
very
appropriate
for
when
we
take
a
vote
to
bring
it
back
to
this
body
for
approval.
F
But
at
this
time
I
really
think
that
we
gotta
like
wrap
it
up
and
we
gotta
move
on.
We
gotta,
you
know
refer
these
to
committees.
Personally,
I
think
it's
great
that
we're
gonna
bring
director
interim
director
johnston's
appointment
to
takao,
where
every
single
one
of
the
members
of
this
body
serves
and
we
can
all
participate
in
the
hearing,
and
so
that
being
said,
I
think
it's
it's
time
for
us
to
wrap
it
up
and
refer
these
to
committee
and
move
on.
Q
Yeah
sorry
yeah,
I
all
I
was
gonna
say
is
is
is
is
essentially
what
councilmember
richard
said
that
it
might
be,
it
might
be
appropriate.
You
know,
I
I
you
know.
I've
been
out
with
kova,
so
I
haven't
I'm
not
all
the
way
caught
up
with
with
some
of
the
discussion
that
we're
having
here,
but
it
might
be
appropriate
to
vote
against
an
appointee,
but
it's
not
appropriate
to
deny
an
appointee
by
the
mayor,
a
hearing,
and
so
we
should
we
should
give.
We
should
give
them
all
that.
A
You
thank
you.
Councilmember
ellison,
council
member
wands
league.
P
And
moving
forward
with
the
public
hearing
again
can
a
clerk
or
staff
member
address
the
question
that
I
raised
earlier
as
to
why
the
city
coordinators
appointment
is
not
being
routed
to
pogo,
where
it
does
directly
report
to
like
the
other
appointees.
Yes,
can
someone
share
that.
A
Yeah
I
I
would
appreciate
your
your
comments.
I
will
only
state
that,
in
reference
to
councilmember
chuck
thai,
it
gives
the
entire
body
an
opportunity
to
to
be
a
part
of
this
discussion
and
and
vote
on
it
as
well.
But
please
share
your
your
insights.
Madam.
K
President
I'll
attempt
to
be
brief-
that's
not
my
normal
manner,
but
historically,
when
I
started
as
clerk
in
2010,
all
appointments
went
to
the
ways
and
means
committee.
So
six
members,
not
even
half
of
the
body,
considered
every
appointment
and
made
recommendations
to
the
full
council,
and
it
was
that
body
that
made
all
recommendations
which
gave
the
ways
and
means
committee
a
little
bit
extra
oomph.
They
were
the
only
ones
who
were
able
to
consider
the
mayor's
budget
and
they
were
the
only
ones
that
got
to
consider
the
mayor's
nominations
to
department
head
positions.
K
I'm
sorry
where
the
departments
reported,
however,
the
two
positions
of
city
coordinator
and
city
attorney,
being
responsible
for
an
enterprise-wide
operation
were
deemed
to
be
something
that
needed
to
be
taken
up
by
the
full
body
so
to
all
13
council
members
equally
had
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
during
the
public
hearing
process
on
what
might
be
considered
the
top
two
staff
positions,
the
city
coordinator
and
the
city
attorney,
and
so
that
has
been
our
practice
for
a
number
of
years
now
the
other
department
heads
have
continued
to
be
the
public
hearings
conducted
by
those
committees
of
council
that
exercise
oversight
of
those
department
functions.
K
But
we
have
consistently
ensured
that
both
for
the
coordinator
and
the
attorney
that
all
13
council
members
have
an
equal
opportunity
to
be
present
and
to
participate
in
that
initial
process.
Since
the
committee's
recommendation
almost
always
forms
at
least
the
basis
of
council's
decision-making
process,.
A
Thank
you
clerk
carl.
Is
there
any
other
discussion.
A
I
put
myself
in
cue
and
you
know
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
myself
and
I
think
others
of
us
on
this
body
have
received
some
deeply
concerning.
A
Comments
allegations
concerns
from
current
city
staff
and
and
former
city
staff
and
interns
and
consultants,
etc,
specifically
about
the
city
coordinators
office
and
many
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
identified
relate
to
past
city,
coordinator
offices
or
respective
city
coordinator
leaders,
and
I
think
it's
an
unfair
assessment
to
place.
Those
concerns
on
the
current
interim
city
coordinator.
A
Some
of
the
concerns
have
been
mentioned
about
the
return
to
work,
which
was
a
a
edic
mandate
by
the
mayor.
If
you
will,
and
so
the
city
coordinator's
role
is
to,
and
enroll
of,
every
director
is
to
implement
the
policies
that
we
put
forward,
and
so
I've
worked
with
interim
director
johnston
in
many
roles
and
have
found
her
to
be
dedicated,
responsive
no-nonsense
go
get
the
job
done.
A
One
of
the
first
conversations
we
had
when
she
returned
as
the
interim
city
coordinator,
is
that
we
must
have
a
race
and
equity
director
as
soon
as
possible
and
interim
director
johnston
started
that
search
and
brought
in
ms
taisha
green,
who
is
in
the
audience
today
and
has
come
in
the
door,
challenging
the
systems.
The
the
the
past
inequities
that
have
been
present
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
A
Challenging
to
these
systems
right
that
would
have
been
a
very
easy
step
to
make,
but
instead
she
made
this
choice
and
I'm
thrilled
that
ms
green
is
here
and
has
had
the
opportunity
to
create
a
staff
to
begin
this
really
important
work
of
holding
ourselves,
our
city
accountable,
and
so
consequently,
I
will
be
voting
to
move
these
nominations
to
the
appropriate
committees
for
a
public
hearing,
so
we
can
have
a
more
in-depth
conversation
around
the
appropriateness
of
these
directors.
A
Psychological
safety
is
like
oxygen
in
the
room
when
it
is
missing.
We
all
think
about
it
because
we
feel
unsafe.
It
is
not
psychologically
safe,
psychological
safety
for
people
if
people
can
only
voice
what
you
want
to
hear.
The
goal
is
not
to
be
comfortable.
It
is
to
create
a
climate
where
people
can
speak
up
without
fear.
A
Psychological
safety
begins
with
admitting
one's
own
mistakes
and
welcoming
criticism
for
others,
and
I
want
to
be
clear.
That
is
not
my
words.
That
is
a
quote
from
adam
grant,
who
is
a
leading
expert
in
in
workplace
safety,
and
so
I
want
to
challenge
all
of
our
nominees
to
come
back
with
plans
during
these
nomination
public
hearings
about
how
they
intend
to
address
the
deep
systemic
challenges
that
exist
in
each
and
every
one
of
the
departments
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and,
quite
frankly,
throughout
all
institutions
in
our
communities.
A
But
we
can
only
deal
with
the
institution
that
we
all
represent
and
that's
here
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
So
my
challenge
is
to
to
to
encourage
these
nominees
to
bring
to
come
forward
with
plans
on
how
they
intend
to
address
the
the
items
that
I
name
particularly.
A
For
ms
johnston,
I
mean
there
are
some
specific
issues
that
have
been
raised
and
I
think
those
issues
deserve
a
a
a
robust
plan
for
how
you
intend
to
address
those
concerns
that
have
been
brought
bored
by
staff.
And
so
I
don't
see
any
other
comments
or
questions
in
queue.
And
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
wrong.
A
Forward
that
those
nominations
to
those
committees
is
there
a
second
second:
is
there
any
discussion,
cnn
I'll,
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
world.
K
A
That
carries
and
knows,
nominations
will
be
forwarded
to
the
appropriate
committees
for
public
hearing.
A
And
next
we
will
move
to
the
we'll
go
back
to
resolutions
which
there
are
four
resolutions
today,
three
of
which
were
presented
at
the
beginning
of
today's
meeting,
and
at
this
time
I
will
ask.
Are
there
any
final
comments
on
those
honorary
resolutions
listed
on
the
agenda.
A
I
see
some
comments
in
the
chat
and
we
presented
the
resolutions,
but
we
did
not
formally
adopt
them.
So
I
move.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
those
resolutions
so
moved.
Second,
thank
you
is.
J
J
J
A
That
item
carries
and
those
resolutions
are
adopted
with
that
colleagues,
we
do
have
a
request
for
a
closed
session.
This
closed
session
includes
two
litigation
matters:
those
of
colleen
ryan
and
arthur
knight
versus
the
city
of
minneapolis.
U
Yes,
thank
you,
president
jenkins.
The
next
items,
as
you
noted
on
the
agenda,
are
the
cases
of
colleen
ryan,
vs
city
minneapolis
and
the
litigation
matter
of
arthur
knight
versus
the
city
of
minneapolis.
These
cases
are
an
active
litigation
in
a
state
agency
and
state
court.
The
lawyers
wish
to
discuss
with
the
council
litigation
strategy
and
or
settlement
possibilities.
U
Accordingly,
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law
minnesota
statute,
section
13d,
.05,
subdivision
3b,
the
council
may
upon
a
proper
motion,
close
the
meeting
for
the
purposes
of
attorney-client
communication
and
considering
the
motion.
The
council
should
weigh
the
right
of
the
public
to
know
what
its
government
is
doing
against
the
need
of
the
city
to
preserve
the
confidentiality
of
its
discussions
with
its
attorneys.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
city
attorney,
router,
prior
to
voting
to
close
the
meeting.
I
do
want
to
just
note
because
of
the
the
length
of
our
meeting.
If
there
are
any
announcements
that
colleagues
would
like
to
make
before
we
move
into
closed
session,
and
I
do
see
council
member
vital
and
councilmember
wansley
warlobah
in
queue.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
really
quickly.
I
want
to
thank
my
council
colleagues,
the
mayor's
office
ncr,
the
clerk's
office,
a
special
thank
you
to
ray
dean
and
zach
farley.
I
hosted
five
community
listening
sessions
around
the
police
chief
search
and
some
of
my
colleagues
showed
up
and
had
really
good
conversations
with
the
residents
of
minneapolis.
C
I
consider
them
successful
listening
sessions
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
little
time
to
thank
everyone
who
supported
the
ward
4
team
in
making
that
happen
for
the
residents
of
minneapolis
and
then
the
second
thing
is,
I
don't
know
if
everyone's
seen
it,
but
there
was
a
flyer
that
had
been
sent
around
with
employees
names
on
it
and
after
looking
at
that
flyer,
it
felt
like
a
threat
to
me,
and
I
just
want
to
say
to
the
staff
that
was
named
on
that
flyer.
I'm
so
sorry
you
don't
deserve
that.
C
Your
families
don't
deserve
that
and
we
can
do
better
than
that.
We're
broken
enough
in
this
city.
The
last
thing
we
need
is
threats
on
our
employees,
families
for
doing
the
job
that
we
ask
them
to
do
as
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so
I
just
want
to
end
by
saying
that
I
appreciate
you
all
of
our
staff
and
I
stand
with
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
vitale.
I
did
have
an
opportunity
to
attend
one
of
those
public
comment
sessions
and
founded,
as
you
stated,
very
successful,
very
meaningful
input
on
the
police
search
process.
So
thank
you
and
your
staff
and
and
all
the
city
staff
that
helped
to
make
those
public
input
sessions.
Successful.
P
Madam
president,
I
had
two
just
in
light
of
us
passing
the
resolution
on
reproductive
rights,
one
to
uplift
the
event
that's
actually
happening
tonight
from
unrestrict
minnesota,
they're
gonna
be
bringing
together
a
panel
from
rep
of
representatives
from
pro-choice,
minnesota,
planned
parenthood,
minnesota
and
some
other
coalition
partners
to
really
talk
about
the
impacts
of
roe
v
wade
and
and
what
we
can
do
as
ordinary
people,
as
you
know,
organizers
in
our
communities
to
show
up
for
protecting
reproductive
rights
and
reproductive
service
access
in
a
post,
roy
america
or
world
right
now.
P
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
folks
could
check
out
unrestrict
minnesota.
They
have
more
information
about
that
panel
and
also
I
want
to
name
too.
I
know
a
number
of
us
attended
the
only
community
engagement
event
of
the
community
safety
work
group
from
the
mayor's
office
last
night.
They
named
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
community
to
provide
comments
up
until
next
wednesday
around
recommendations.
P
They
would
like
to
see-
and
I
really
am
grateful-
that
they
amplified
that,
so
it
might
be
best
for
mayor
frye
to
share
how
folks
can
relay
those
comments
to
either
his
office
or
to
the
group,
since
they
only
have
like
a
week
left-
and
I
know
from
the
outpour
of
just
support
or
attendees
who
came
last
night
again,
many
of
which
was
my
fellow
council
members.
It
was
some
anxiety
about
us.
Even
you
know,
breaking
quorum,
I'm
glad
clark,
carl
wasn't
there.
P
We
would
have
gotten
in
trouble,
but
I
know
community
really
was
interested
in
and
finally
being
part
of
of
shaping
this
report
and
are
looking
forward
to
be
able
to
provide
comments
on
that.
So
I
want
to
uplift
that
too.
A
You
for
those
comments
and
announcements
councilmember
wants
to
worldwide.
It
was
great
to
see
many
of
our
colleagues
out
last
night
to
hear
directly
from
community
about
recommendations
for
public
safety
continuum
beyond
policing
and
and
that's
that's
what
I
will
take
away
from
that
conversation.
Last
night
council
member
council
vice
president
palmisano.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
do
want
to
recognize
that
I
think
we
all
saw
the
news
this
morning
that
mr
router
has
decided
to
not
seek
reappointment,
and
so
he
will
be
ending
up,
leaving
us
as
city
attorney
and
mr
router.
I
just
want
to
be
the
first
one
to
thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
city
and
for
dutifully
serving
this
council,
the
mayor
and
the
enterprise
and
the
residents
of
minneapolis.
B
Your
time
as
city
attorney
brought
this
department
one
step
further
in
its
work
around
writing
historical
wrongdoings,
and
I
see
some
of
them
come
in
to
to
honor
you.
This
is
especially
apparent
in
your
work
in
establishing
the
city's
justice
project
to
eliminate
racial
covenants
that
were
built
into
the
deeds
of
homes
throughout
our
city.
Amongst
other
initiatives,
this
is
really
important
work
that
sometimes,
I
think,
gets
lost
in
all
the
other
moving
pieces
within
your
department,
but
it
is
vital
to
advancing
our
equity
goals
as
a
city.
B
Many
of
us
that
have
served
last
term
on
city
council
got
to
know
jim
actually
during
our
first
efforts
on
the
working
families
agenda
safe
and
sick
time
in
minimum
wage
kinds
of
ordinances
he
jumped
into
our
workplace
advisory
committee
with
both
feet.
He
then
was
in
the
private
sector
working
for
target
as
their
council.
B
I
think
he
brought
his.
What
we
found
out
is
his
usual
tendency
to
dive
in
and
ask
her
questions
and
and
inspire
community,
particularly
in
this
case,
the
private
sector
community,
to
join
in
enthusiastically
to
walk
past
jim
on
the
street
is
to
know
that
he
has
plenty
of
stylish
flair
right.
He
seems
like
someone
that
would
be
interesting
to
know,
but
to
know
jim
professionally
is
to
know
him
more.
B
Personally,
he
brings
that
personal
touch
into
everything
he
does
and
we
all
know
his
own
story
about
growing
up
in
a
unique,
diverse,
neighborhood
in
chicago
and
working
in
large
cities
like
detroit
and
chicago
about
how
he
met
his
wife,
all
the
kinds
of
things
that
you
actually
get
to
know
about
someone
when
you
know
them
as
a
friend
and
that's
how
he
lives
his
life.
So
it's
no
wonder
why
he
has
so
many
relationships
that
he's
been
able
to
connect
us
to
across
other
levels
of
government
and
also
across
the
country.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
palmisano.
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
see
my
emails
and
consequently
miss
that
message.
A
So
I
am
quite
taken
aback
by
your
comments
and
I,
while
I
try
to
gather
myself
or
comments,
I'm
just
going
to
call
on
mayor
frye
and
then
councilmember,
osman
and
and
I'll
share
some
thoughts
afterwards.
E
U
E
But
you
chose
to
lead
in
service
and
I
think-
and
I
am
forever
grateful
and
our
city
is
forever
grateful
and
as
councilmember
palmisano
mentioned,
this
has
not
been
your
first
endeavor
with
the
city,
I'm
certain.
It
won't
be
your
last
your
work
around
minimum
wage
and
earn
sick
and
safe
time
and
really
unapologetic
push
to
diversify
the
legal
community
here
in
minneapolis,
which
is
something
that
you've,
I
think,
championed
throughout
your
your
your
time.
As
an
attorney,
it
makes
a
huge
difference.
E
Early
on,
you
demonstrated
a
willingness
to
lead
in
new
ways,
embedding
a
higher
a
high
caliber
attorney
in
the
city.
The
city's
police
misconduct
investigations,
which
we
know
has
already
expedited
some
of
the
disciplinary
decisions.
You've
championed
cutting
edge
initiatives
like
the
lead
program
on
lake
street.
E
You've
stayed
at
the
negotiating
table
on
behalf
of
your
client
through
some
extraordinarily
challenging
moments.
Jim
mr
router,
you
you've
been
there.
We
so
deeply
appreciate
your
work
and,
on
behalf
of
this
great
city
and
its
residents,
thank
you
for
your
services
and
best
wishes
best
wishes
in
your
next
chapter.
T
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
james,
I'm
in
unique
position
on
the
council,
I'm
not
a
newly
elected
of
council
and
also
I'm
not
a
seasoned
season.
As
my
other
colleagues
I
came
in
about
20
months
ago,
and
you
know
it
took
me
a
while
to
learn
the
curve
and
it's
been.
It's
been
really
a
great
experience.
T
T
You
know
leadership
on
the
council
and
being
part
of
of
the
of
the
city
attorney.
T
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
work
he
has
done
and
leading
our
city,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
to
especially
last
couple
years
that
have
been
tough
for
for
our
city.
So,
oh,
thank
you,
sir
appreciate
it.
G
Thank
you,
president
jenkins.
I
just
also
wanted
to
thank
mr
router
for
your
dedication
to
the
city.
I
am
a
new
council
member
and
mr
rudder
even
came
was
one
of
the
first
directors
that
reached
out
to
me
to
connect
came
over
to
the
11th
ward,
just
to
really
understand
who
I
was.
We
didn't
really
talk
much
about
the
the
city
we
talked
about,
who
we
are
were
as
people
and
I
think,
as
vice
president
palmisano
said.
G
A
N
Yeah
I
just
want
to
take
some
things.
President
jenkins
takes
some
time
to
bluff
the
work
that
you've
done
with
the
lead
program
and
how
you
make
sure
that
lake
street
is
going
to
be
able
to
have
some
services
on
public
safety,
and
I
know
that
without
you
and
your
amazing
team's
work
that
that
thing
that
is
going
to
happen
to
the
lakes
recorder
would
not
be
possible.
So
I
just
want
to
uplift
the
work
and
say
thank
you
for
your
service
and
you'll
be
missed
here
at
city
hall
and
appreciate
everything.
N
A
C9,
oh
well,
I
will
turn
the
floor
over
to
clerk
carl
for
some
comments.
Let
me
help
on
the
department,
leadership,
team.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president,
jim
on
behalf
of
your
department
head
colleagues,
many
of
whom
just
found
out
this
morning.
This
news,
I
I
wanted
to
at
least
offer
our
collective
thanks
and
appreciation
for
all
your
work
and
to
my
other
department,
head
colleagues.
K
I
I
don't
think
this
is
out
of
line
and
I
don't
mean
to
diminish
their
work,
but
the
city
coordinator
and
the
city
attorney
have
the
two
hardest
bursts
in
this
entire
enterprise
because
of
the
work
they
do
and
because
of
the
needs
for
them
to
manage
and
support
not
only
22
operating
departments,
the
entire
day-to-day
service
delivery
of
this
enterprise,
but
also
our
elected
officials,
the
mayor
and
the
council,
and
you've
done
a
good
job
of
balancing,
so
many
conflicting
demands
and
needs
and
expectations
across
this
enterprise
and
within
the
community
in
your
short
tenure
here.
K
A
Thank
you,
clerk
call.
Next
in
q
is
councilmember
weinsley
lullaby.
P
Yeah
to
end
on
a
happier
note
too,
I
wanted
to
extend.
Apparently
it
was
birthday
week
here.
So
I
wanted
to
say
happy
birthday
to
ken
michael
who's,
an
amazing
clerk.
We
have
two
clerks
and
then
also
to
you,
council
council,
president
jenkins,
it's
nice
to
know
that
you
know.
J
P
A
And
next
thing
to
you
is
councilman
chuck
that
is
this
related
to
the
city
attorney.
Okay,
great
all,
right.
F
All
right
just
wanted
to
offer
real
quick
that
our
city
attorney
is
also
a
constituent
lives
in
the
tenth
ward
and
so
excited
to
transition
from
you
being
our
our
attorney
and
and
to
just
being
a
constituent
that
I'll
represent
very
proudly
and
an
offer
that
I
think
you
are
one
of
the
the
few
people
in
the
city.
F
Who
always
will
talk
through
my
my
very
complex
questions
at
times
with
with
a
lot
of
grace
and
and
have
been
open
to
just
just
offering
your
team
as
a
resource.
At
all
times,
you've
got
an
excellent
team
and
we're
excited
to
continue
to
to
work
with.
E
A
Offer
an
opportunity
for
deputy
city
attorney
nielsen
to
offer
a
few
comments.
President.
R
Jim
and-
and
I
say
this
from
the
most
humble
part
of
my
heart,
because
I'm
gonna
use
the
we
in
speaking
about
the
city
attorney's
office
team,
but
we
wanna.
Thank
you
so
much
for
leading
our
office.
R
As
some
of
you
know
jim
and
I
have
a
kinship-
I
I
served
as
interim
city
attorney
for
almost
a
year
prior
to
jim
arriving
and
can
say
that
it
is
a
very
difficult
job
and
if,
as
people
know
about
jim,
this
is
an
individual
who
loves
the
city
of
minneapolis
he's
as
a
resident
and
as
a
public
servant.
As
he's
proven,
he
loves
the
city
and
and
that's
through
thick
and
thin.
He's
he's
he's
committed,
and
I
know
he
still
will
be
in
his
next
endeavor.
R
So
I'll
say
it
on
a
personal
level,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
us
can
appreciate
this
too.
The
one
thing
that
I
really
appreciate
about
appreciate
about
you,
jim,
is
knowing
how
difficult
that
job
is
and
the
pressures
that
can
come
from
all
sides.
He
came
every
day
with
a
positive
attitude.
There
was
always
light
coming
from
jim.
When
I
would
talk
to
him
even
in
you
know
really
stressful
days.
That's
we
need
that.
We
really
do
it
helps
us
carry
forward,
and
so
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
nielsen,
for
those
heartfelt
comments.
I
I
put
myself
in
queue
just
to
you
know
acknowledge,
I
think,
council
member
council,
vice
president
palmisano,
said
during
tumultuous
times,
but
but
I
think
that's
an
understatement.
We
have
probably
experienced
more
legal
challenges
than
any
time
in
the
history
of
this
city.
I
would
speculate
and
and
when
you
took
this
role,
we
were
in
the
midst
of
that
and
and
you.
A
Took
the
the
mayor's
offer
to
to
join
this
team,
I
I
can
only
assume
that
he
begged
you
to
come
and-
and
you
took
him
up
on
that
offer-
I
am
really
grateful
for
your
service
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I
know
that
you
do
love.
This
city
also
know
that
we
share
a
love
for
another
great
city
in
america,
chicago
we.
We
both
were
born
and
bred
there,
and
you
brought
a
lot
of
the
the
the
strong
shoulders
wendy
city.
A
I
can
get
it
done
attitude
to
to
this
work
here
at
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
yeah.
I
just
learned
about
your
departure
sitting
here
on
the
dice
and
so
I'm
deeply
shocked,
I'm
at
a
loss
for
words,
but
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
much
appreciated.
A
So
next
colleagues,
we
will
move
to
a
closed
session,
which
we
will
hear
from
our
city
attorney
and
attorneys
there,
and
the
city
attorney
has
stated
why
we
are
moving
to
a
closed
session,
and
so
I
will
entertain
emotion.
A
I'm
sorry
has
that
motion
been
seconded.
A
Yes,
so
the
city
attorney
has
moved
that
we
closed
the
meeting
and
I
will
entertain
a
second
second.
Thank
you
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll
council.
K
K
A
K
K
A
H
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president.
While
I
