Hello:
everyone
good
afternoon
welcome.
My
name
is
jeremiah
ellison
and
I'm
the
chair
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
meeting
for
monday
may
23rd
I'll
now
have
the
clerk
call
the
roll.
C
A
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
that
we
are
also
joined
by
the
mayor.
So
thank
you
and
as
a
matter
of
fact,
our
first
item
today
is
a
public
hearing
for
the
mayor's
nomination
of
rebecca
monquist
for
city
assessor.
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I'm
really
proud
to
be
here
to
highlight
the
appointment
of
rebecca
momquist
for
another
term
as
city
assessor.
She
has
done
an
incredible
job
over
these
last
several
years
and
is
a
founding
member
of
the
women
employee
resource
group.
Here
at
city
hall,
she's
championed
inclusivity
and
compassion
in
city
hall,
I'll
note
that
she's
also
very
well
known
and
respected
nationally
and
internationally.
Among
other
assessors.
In
fact,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
a
conference.
E
It
must
have
been
three
or
four
years
ago
now,
where
the
national
assessors
group
was
actually
in
minneapolis
and
rebecca
momquist
was
really
a
centerpiece
and
has
established
herself
as
a
leader.
She
is
the
vice
president
of
the
international
association
of
assessing
officers
and
really
has
an
excellent
national
and
international,
even
reputation,
she's.
Also
the
co-founder
of
iaao's
women's
initiative
network.
E
You
can
see
her
commitment
in
everything
that
she
does
in
the
assessor's
office
and
I
think
that's
been
well
tread.
I
have
full
faith
that
she's
going
to
do
an
excellent
job
moving
forward.
I
I
thank
her
for
her
willingness
to
move
forward
with
this.
This
very
important
job
at
city
hall
and,
of
course,
council
members.
I
ask
for
your
support.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
and
consideration.
A
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
for
the
appointment
of
the
city
assessor.
I
understand
that
we
don't
have
anyone
formally
signed
up
to
speak,
but
if
anyone
would
like
to
come
up
and
speak,
you
know
maybe
freestyle
a
little
bit.
Please
check
in
with
the
clerks
or
introduce
yourself
at
the
dyess
and
we'd
be
happy
to
have
you
reflected
on
the
record
so
I'll
take
a
moment
to
see.
If
anybody
would
like
to
come
up
and
speak.
A
C
And
committee
members
and
mayor
good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
this
afternoon
regarding
my
nomination
for
the
appointment
of
city
assessor
so
to
mayor
frye.
Thank
you
again
for
your
continued
faith
and
trust
in
me
to
lead
our
amazing
team
and
the
important
work
we
do
to
ensure
fair
and
equitable
taxation.
C
C
C
C
My
passion
for
our
work
does
not
stop
at
the
city
border.
I
am
blessed
to
be
part
of
an
assessment
community
here
in
the
state
around
the
country
and
the
world.
I'm
always
looking
for
ways
to
do
our
work
better,
to
produce
more
fair
and
equitable
outcomes,
and
I'm
continually
trying
to
learn
and
find
ways
to
apply
what
other
jurisdictions
are
doing
well
to
our
work
here
in
minneapolis.
C
While
I
love
assessment
and
appraisal-
and
many
of
you
heard
me
say
that
assessing
is
my
jam,
I've
learned
that
some
something
that
I
love
just
as
much
or
sometimes
even
more,
is
to
develop
people
when
I
first
became
the
city
assessor
in
minnetonka
in
2009.
I
knew
that
I
could
do
the
job
technically.
C
C
A
lot
of
what
I've
learned,
admittedly,
has
because
has
been
because
I've
made
mistakes
and
had
to
learn
from
them.
This
has
taught
me
humility
and
maybe
relaxed
some
of
my
overly
perfectionist
ways.
I
have
gone
through
grueling
training
and
humbling
evaluation
to
become
a
national
instructor
to
teach
assessment
and
appraisal
coursework.
C
Our
staff
need
to
be
more
than
good,
appraisers
and
assessors,
because
so
much
of
the
work
we
do
includes
listening,
educating
and
being
empathetic
at
the
most
recent
council
meeting.
You
may
remember:
council
president
jenkins
spoke
about
psychological
safety
at
work.
Coincidentally,
in
a
presentation
I
was
giving
last
fall
on
unconscious
bias.
I
brought
up
psychological
safety
as
a
topic
and
it
wasn't
a
term
or
concept
that
many
in
the
room
were
familiar
with,
so
I
was
so
glad
when
council
president
named
it.
The
quote.
C
She
read
said
that
psychological
safety
is
like
oxygen
in
the
room
and
I
agree
with
this
100
percent.
I
challenge
myself
to
doing
all
that
I
can
to
ensure
our
team
is
in
is
in
a
space
where
they
feel
safe.
Do
I
get
this
right
all
the
time?
Absolutely
not.
Am
I
committed
to
still
making
it
a
priority?
Absolutely
I
am.
I
am
still
learning
I
am
committed
to
this
work.
It
is
a
work
in
progress
because
there
really
isn't
a
roadmap
and
it
is
an
iterative
process.
C
C
I
say
this
number
one
because
maybe
you're
wondering
because
you've
never
seen
any
of
our
team
and
number
two,
because
a
safe
work
environment
is
different
in
person
versus
a
hybrid
environment
versus
completely
virtually
and
each
has
its
own
challenge,
and
we
need
to
be
mindful
about
how
the
different
work
settings
impact,
how
people
feel
about
their
environment
in
any
environment.
They
need
to
feel
comfortable
asking
for
help
sharing
such
sharing
suggestions
and
challenging
the
status
quo
without
fear
of
negative
consequences
in
tandem
with
the
focus
on
psychological
safety.
C
Is
the
work
in
cultivating
creating
and
sustaining
an
anti-racist
culture?
Well
as
a
department,
we
have
just
touched
the
surface
of
this
work.
We
have
started
conversations
via
safe
spaces
and
through
team
book
readings
and
discussions
as
an
enterprise.
I
am
optimistic
and
excited
for
what
will
be
offered
for
leadership,
development
and
support
to
advance
this
work
across
the
city.
C
My
experiences
interactions
with
other
leaders
across
the
city
is
that
we
all
want
to
do
this
work
we
want
to
make
a
culture
shift
is
in
chat.
It
is
challenging,
though,
when
each
department
is
doing
this
on
their
own
oftentimes,
not
knowing
what
other
departments
are
doing.
The
work
of
this
united
enterprise
effort
with
metrics
and
accountability
is
something
we
are
all
committed
to,
because
we
can
and
we
want
to
do
better.
C
As
I
said,
I'm
humbled
and
honored
to
be
nominated
to
lead
the
department
as
this
in
the
role
of
city
assessor
and
grateful
to
our
entire
team
and
the
fantastic
work
they
do
each
day
showing
up
for
the
city.
I
am
extremely
thankful
for
the
members
of
our
leadership
team,
some
of
which
are
here
today.
C
A
A
All
right,
I
will
now
call
on
councilmember
johnson.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
assessor
long
quest
when
you
said
well,
you're
one
of
the
departments.
We
talked
to
least,
which
is
true
when
we
do
talk
with
you,
you
are
always
so
responsive
and
compassionate
towards
our
constituents
and
offer
such
a
high
quality
of
service
and
help
take
a
very
technical
topic
and
break
it
down
into
an
understandable
way.
So
strong
communication
skills
as
well,
and
I
just
want
to
say
I
really
appreciate
your
leadership
and
all
the
work
that
you
do
and
your
team
does
as
well
in
working
with
our
residents.
F
But
you
do
a
remarkable
job
of
it
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
much
I
appreciate
your
approach
and
vision
in
this
work
as
well
in
the
many
ways
that
you
step
up
and
lead
beyond
the
formal
duties
of
just
assessment
and
how
you
take
care
of
your
team
and
people
as
well
in
all
of
this.
So
I'm
happy
to
support
you
and
mr
chair.
If
it's
appropriate,
I
would
be
honored
to
move
this
appointment.
G
Thank
you,
chair
ellison.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
also
to
assessor
monquist.
I
know
you
said
that
this
isn't
a
glamorous
job,
but
you
sure
make
it
seem
like
that
when
we're
talking,
I
I
remember
the
first
conversation
we
had.
I
thought:
how
can
she
be
so
passionate
about?
You
know
the
people
who
I
had
heard
from
around
assessment.
So
thank
you
for
that.
They,
no
one
can
talk
to
you
and
not
hear
how
passionate
you
are
about
this
work
and
how
passionate
you
are
about
the
people
in
minneapolis.
G
A
Thank
you,
council
member
vice
chair
yeah,
vice
chair,
wanza
warlow.
Thank.
D
Also
got
the
chance
to
meet
you
during
our
orientation
director
marquez,
and
I
just
remember
you
presenting
yourself,
as
you
know,
with
such
a
great
positivity
and
eagerness
especially
around,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know
a
topic
around
assessing
which
often
to
first
mind,
you
don't
see
this
as
like
something
that
you
jump
out
of
bed.
D
I
you
probably
jump
out
of
bed,
but
like
we're
supposed
to
jump
out
of
the
band
and
say
I
get
to
do
this
work
and
you
talked
about
it
with
such
thoroughness
with
my
office
as
council
member
vital
noted.
You
know
this
is
something
that
you've
worked
with
my
office
in
in
helping
us
understand
such
a
very
complex
topic
and
to
be
able
to
understand
it
in
a
digestible
way.
So
I
am
absolutely
excited
to
also
support
you
and
also
you.
D
You
highlighted
the
fact
that
you
know
we're
all
your
department
is
often
one
of
the
least
that
we
come
into
contact
with
because
of
the
diligence
in
which
you
carry
out
the
quality
of
work
and
to
me
this
is
a
one.
One
example
of
you
know
a
department,
that's
truly
accountable
to
the
public
and
that
delivers
high
quality
services.
So
thank
you
for
the
work
and
your
team
that
you
do
every
day
around
such
a
very
important
topic.
I
mean
the
ways
in
which
our
tax
dollars
are
spent.
A
Thank
you
vice
chair,

nineteen
is
approved,
and
we
will
move
on
to
item
number
seven
for
discussion.
Vice
chairman.
D
Thank
you,
chair
ellison.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
for
our
staff.
From
my
understanding
this,
this
acquisition
of
the
first
precinct
police
station
comes
with
about
11.5
million
dollar
price
tag,
and
you
know,
while
I
understand
you
know,
there
might
be
a
case
to
be
made
that
we
should
be
investing
in
building
a
state
of
the
art
new
facility.
I
also
want
to
you
know,
put
this
in
the
the
current
realities
of
you
know.
We
still
are
in
the
wake
of
the
release
of
the
mdhr
report.
D
That
shows
that
our
department
is
not
meeting
basic
human
rights,
and
I
would
much
rather
see
our
committee
and
see
our
city
put
that
money
into
fixing
things
about
the
department
such
as
addressing
the
racism,
the
misogyny
and
violence
that
has
been
widely
documented
within
the
the
department
and
knowing
that
by
fixing
those
things
investing
in
them,
then
we're
doing
a
much
better
job
to
be
able
to
recruit
and
retain
quality
employees
which
have
been
documented.
D
You
know
they're
not
coming
to
our
department
because
of
these
structural
inequities
not
being
addressed
so
with
that.
I
would
like
to
know
for
whoever
staff
can
speak
to
this.
How
will
the
investment
in
this
new
facility
or
acquisition
of
it
will
actually
address
some
of
the
the
dynamics
or
structural
dynamics
raised
in
the
mdhr
report?.
A
Real
quick,
I
I
don't
want
to
undermine
the
spirit
of
the
question,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
with
our
attorneys
that
discussion
of
the
mdhr
report
is
is
a
bit
tricky
at
the
moment,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
staff
has
some
guidance
on
how
to
engage
the
question,
while
also
respecting
the
question
that
vaisher
wansli
asked
sorry.
H
Mr
chair
councilmember
wansley
warlowba
happy
to
take
questions
about
the
mdhr
report
and
process
and
have
that
in
a
privileged
conversation
outside
of
the
public
forum
for
purposes
of
this
particular
item.
I'm
not
I
I
I'm
not
sure
I
see
the
the
linkage
here
and
I
know,
staff
from
finance
and
property
services
could
answer,
probably
technical
questions
about
how
an
acquisition
works
and
the
process
involved
and
the
considerations
involved
there.
But
I
I
don't
know
I
I
they're
really
two
distinct
things
in
my
mind.
D
Okay,
thank
you
city
attorney,
I
think,
just
to
clarify
again
we're
not
digging
into
the
weeds
of
a
consent
decree
I'm
talking
about
how
in
if
this
is
procurement,
or
I'm
pretty
sure,
we've
had
I'm
assuming
our
staff
conversations
either
with
you
city
attorney
nelson,
as
well
as
mpd
around
how
they
see
this
acquisition
better
servicing
some
of
the
internal
dynamics
within
the
department.
So
I
would
be
more
interested
in
the
rationale
behind
that.
I
Well,
you
know
the
the
department
is
going
to
be
better
serving
their
precinct,
because
it's
going
to
provide
much
more
flex
space,
much
more
services
right
now.
They
are
basically
squished
into
a
nineteen
thousand
square
foot
area.
Three
thousand
square
foot
of
it
is
least
space
in
the
neighboring
building.
I
The
average
modern
police
precinct
is
around
thirty
five
thousand
square
feet,
so
they
are
really
shoehorned
into
120
year
old
building,
so
with
them
clone
more
clothes
are
located
to
the
convention
center
and
in
a
facility
that
puts
all
of
their
operations,
including
their
parking
into
one
footprint.
I
They
will
better
be
able
to
more
equitably,
serve
the
community
right
now
operationally
it's
very
inefficient
and
the
the
services
in
terms
of
parking,
for
you
know,
constituents
that
come
for
public
meetings
is
in
the
back
alley,
which
is
not
exactly
the
safest.
It's
also
blocked
numerous
times
by
neighboring
uses,
and
so
this
is
actually
going
to
have
a
frontage
where
citizens
residents
can
come
and
and
visit
the
precinct
very
easily
and
openly
and
safely.
F
I
guess
a
frustration
that
I
have
and
I
would
love
to
know
if
you
have
some
insight
on
this,
is
that
for
two
years
now,
I've
been
asking
for
some
analysis
some
intention
around
why
this
current
strategy,
with
five
precincts
versus
more
potentially
or
you're,
utilizing
substations
as
well,
and
why
are
we
just
kind
of
doubling
down
on
the
current
strategy
when
we
have
an
opportunity
to
really
reevaluate
operationally
how
we're
doing
things,
especially
at
a
time
where
we
have
the
mayor,
proposing
a
community
safety
department
which
is
going
to
have
other
functions
tied
together?
F
Is
this
the
right
path
for
us
to
pursue
when
we
might
have
other
functions
combined
in
and
then
I
do
think
there
is
also
a
question
here
around.
It
looks
like
from
the
rca
that
there's
a
hotel
built
in
with
this
police
station,
and
so
I
just
immediately
what
jumps
to
mind
is
operational
and
safety
concerns
related
to
that.
F
I
am
represented
by
the
third
precinct,
which
right
now
for
two
years
has
been
sitting
vacant
and
and
barricaded
up,
and
but
you
can
see
all
the
ash
on
the
building
right,
and
so
I
think
how
would
that
have
worked
if
there
was
a
hotel
connected
to
that
right
and
sure,
and
so,
if,
in
the
future,
we
end
up
with
a
situation
where
a
precinct
is
being,
you
know,
rendered
inoperable
in
some
way
or
targeted
in
some
way?
F
How
does
that
work
with
the
hotel
as
well,
so
there's
kind
of
two
sides
of
this
around
both
the
macro
global
level
strategy,
so
kind
of
the?
Why
now
and
what
has
been
the
intention
around
that,
and
why
haven't
we
heard
about
that
before
now,
especially
when
many
of
us
have
been
asking
over
and
over
again
what's
that
strategy?
I
I
You
know
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we're
experiencing
today
and
I
think
property
services
would
certainly
welcome
doing
a
evaluation
of
with
with
the
police
department.
I
Obviously,
in
terms
of
you
know
how
we
might
be
able
to
create
efficiencies
or
create
smaller
precincts
or
or
whatever
direction
the
consul
you
know
so
wanted
us
to
investigate
and
provide
some
sort
of
a
proposal
on
that,
but
for
this
purposes
we're
just
looking
at
a
project
that
was
in
the
capital
improvement
program
and
trying
to
get
it
executed
in
terms
of
it
being
coupled
with
a
hotel.
I
This
particular
building
is
kind
of
interesting.
It
was
a
old
high
school
many
many
years
ago.
I
think
in
the
30s
it's
poured
concrete,
and
so
the
the
separations
between
the
facilities
physically
is
really
strong.
Also,
everything
will
be
bifurcated
so
that
all
of
the
I.t
utilities
everything
will
be
isolated
for
the
mpd.
I
The
police
precinct
would
be
open
to
the
fourth
avenue
side,
which
is
a
hotel
across
the
street
too,
where
the
public
parking
is
so
in
terms
of
that
we're,
we
would
be
trying
to
separate
the
two
identities,
and
then
there
is
a
lot
of
physical
separation
in
terms
of
the
garage
and
just
the
physical
aspects
of
the
building.
F
I
don't
think
that
even
a
couple
week,
pause
in
that
regard
would
affect
a
two-year-long
project
unless
there
was
a
risk
of
losing
the
lease.
But
I
guess
I'm
more
concerned
from
a
council
standpoint
is
that
when
we've
been
asking
for
that
information-
and-
and
I
know
I
haven't-
asked
you
personally
so
you're
kind
of
on
the
spot
on
this,
so
I
want
to
try
to
kind
of
move
you
off
the
hot
seat
here
and
just
speak
more
globally,
that
I've
been
asking
property
services
for
that
information.
F
The
coordinator's
office
mpd
leadership
for
that
information
for
two
years
now,
and
we
still
don't
have
it
and
so
at
some
point
I
think
when
is
the
council
gonna
say?
Okay,
no,
we
need
this
information
now
to
move
rather
than
just
say:
oh,
we
wish
we
had
it.
We
wish
you
responded,
but
here's
our
rubber
stamp,
and
so
that's
what
I'm
worried
about
is.
It
seems
like
this
is
exactly
the
moment
where
we
say
we
need
this
information
now
to
make
an
intentional
decision
because,
like
I
said,
I'm
I
totally
get.
F
F
We
need
that
information
in
order
to
make
wise
decisions,
especially
at
a
time
when,
from
a
capital
standpoint,
we've
seen
the
impact
of
not
maybe
being
as
diligent
and
oversight
around
public
safety
or
policing
globally
as
a
city
and
what
that
has
ultimately
cost
us,
and
so
you
know,
the
last
thing
I
would
want
to
do
is
do
a
big
investment
right
now,
if
we're
suddenly
going
to
see
a
change
in
direction
or
without
the
responsibility
of
really
looking
at
our
strategies
around
this.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
johnson,
I'm
sort
of
trying
to
read
the
room
here
and
I'm
happy
to
make
a
motion
that
is
coming
to
my
mind,
but
I'm
also
happy
to
entertain
a
motion.
If
any
of
my
colleagues
have
one
I'm
inclined,
it
seems
like
there
might
be
some
energy
for
a
staff
direction
to
come
out
of
this,
and
so
I
could
make
a
motion.
A
I'm
happy
to
make
a
devotion
to
the
laya
cycle,
for
us
to
take
this
up
in
two
weeks,
obviously
would
want
to
at
least
get
the
perspective
of
property
services.
A
If
there's
a
if
there
is
an
imminent
threat
of
something
you
know,
let's
stay
in
touch
if
this
has
to
get
pulled
up
for
full
council
vote,
you
know,
but
if
it
can
tolerate
a
two-week
delay,
I
would
I
would
invite
that
I
would
make
that
motion
and
and
then
work
with
my
colleagues
one
cycle
to
come
up
with
some
kind
of
staff
direction.
I
I
I
wouldn't
say
it's
imminent,
I
would
say
it's
a
critical
item
because
of
the
the
age
and
the
compactness
of
this
particular
precinct
in
terms
of
doing
a
kind
of
a
master
plan
strategy
sort
of
a
total
kind
of
a
restructuring
evaluation.
You
know
that
would
involve
multiple
departments
and
be
a
lengthy
and
costly
exercise,
but
if
the
console
so
choose,
I'm
sure
we
would
enjoy
pursuing
that.
A
Great
council
member
john.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
appreciate
that
motion.
I
think
that
makes
sense
to
delay
one
cycle
and
just
to
have
the
you
know
these
associated
departments,
it's
not
solely
on
property
services.
I
think
mpd
is
a
piece
here.
I
think
the
mayor's
office
can
weigh
in
in
the
city
coordinator's
office.
Surely
there
must
have
been
conversation
around
the
strategy
with
the
precincts
and
the
locations
why
we
don't
do
substations,
for
instance,
broken
up
those
sort
of
things
before
now.
F
I
know
certainly
again
requested
it
over
and
over
and
over-
and
I
was
told
yes
we're
working
on
it
sort
of
a
thing,
and
so
hopefully
folks
can
pull
together.
I
know
we've
got
award
week
coming
up,
so
it'll
actually
be
three
weeks,
so
it'll
be
an
opportunity
to
pull
together,
hopefully
some
high
level
information
and
be
able
to
talk
with
the
committee
about
it.
So
we
can
feel
confident
in
moving
in
whichever
way.
Thank
you.
A
Great
I'm
happy
to
make
that
motion
and
all
those
in
favor
say:
hi
hi.
B
A
All
those
opposed,
say,
nay
and
item
number
seven
is
delayed
to
the
next
full
pogo
committee
and
then
lastly,
we
have
item
19
and
I'll
call
on
vice
chair
robin
wansley.
D
Thank
you,
chair
allison.
I
just
wanted
to
know
a
couple
things
just
for
the
public
record,
because
you
know
the
case
for
mr
stalin's
was
such
an
egregious
one
of
injustice.
It
rightfully
sparked
outrage,
and
even
just
this
past
week
I
had
constituents
asking
my
office
what
the
city
is
doing
to
ensuring
that
you
know
what
happened
to
mr
stalin's
never
happens
to
anyone
else
and,
of
course,
there's
been
lots
of
conversations
around.
D
You
know
how
the
mdhr
report
is
a
stepping
stone,
and
so
many
other
things
that
the
city
can
be
taken
up
and
responding
to
policy
changes
to
address
many
of
the
racism,
violent
behaviors
and
patterns
within
mpd.
That
was
on
full-on
display
with
this
particular
case.
So
I
also
was
you
know
disheartened
to
have
to
share
with
many
of
my
constituents
that
you
know.
We've
also
issued
a
statement
recently
just
last
week
about
us
halting
conversations
around
specifically
the
the
report
and
the
consent
decree.
D
So
actually
I
have
a
couple
questions
for
city
attorney
nielsen
around
this
just
for
the
public
record,
so
I'm
not
constantly
put
in
a
weird
position
of
telling
my
constituents.
You
know
what
basically
some
ambiguity
around
what's
happening
here,
so
I
would
like
to
put
before
you
count
city
attorney
nielsen,
who
is
part
of
these
meetings
in
terms
of
with
the
state
department.
D
My
constituents
specifically
have
been
very
frustrated
about
the
lack
of
information
on
that
also,
I
want
to
know
too
even
state
legislators,
one
from
my
award,
a
state
representative,
even
sent
a
letter
last
week
asking
the
city
to
continue
working
in
good
faith
with
the
state
department
to
continue
these
conversations.
D
So
I
also
would
like
to
know
too
what
are
the
decision-making
processes
involving
the
council
members?
Some
will
follow
up
to
that
first
question
of
who's
involved
in
these
discussions
and
also
who
what's
the
processes
around
involving
the
public.
I
know
there's
a
couple
of
people
in
my
ward:
that's
also
involved
with
some
of
the
state
stuff.
So
they
mentioned
there
was
maybe
some
community
engagement,
so
we'd
love
to
know
more
clearly.
What
are
the
public
engagement
components
around
this
process?.
A
Vice
chair,
if
I'm
happy
to
have
mr
nelson
jump
in
as
he
as
he
sees
fit,
I
did.
I
did
want
to
say
that
that
I
think
those
are
really
important
questions
and
it
dovetails
nicely
into
a
point
that
I
was
going
to
conclude
the
meeting
with
which
you
know
I've
been
trying
to
ask
a
lot
of
these
same
questions.
I
also
have
been
a
little
out
under
the
weather,
but
I've
been
most
recently
in
kant
in
communication
with
council
president.
A
I
know
the
council
president
has
the
intention
of
setting
up.
You
know
I
mean
to
speak
in
vague
terms,
a
an
apparatus
for
the
council
to
be
involved,
to
be
updated
and
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation.
A
I
I
actually
know
that
that
she's
asked
me
to
work
with
her.
I'm
happy
to
work
with
all
my
colleagues
to
to
set
up
that
structure,
and
I
know
she
has
some
intention
of
announcing
that
structure
and
what
it
looks
like
in
the
details
of
it
this
week
and
so
I'll,
be
in
conversation
with
the
attorneys
I'll
be
in
conversation
with
the
clerk's
office
about
what
that
might
look
like
exactly
and
then
and
then.
A
I
think
that
I
think
that
the
council
president's
intention
not
to
speak
for
her
too
much
is
to
get
the
council
in
a
place
where
we're
involved.
In
these
conversations.
Obviously,
the
negotiations
are
going
to
happen
between
the
executive
branch.
That's
the
way,
that's
the
way
that
that
you
know
the
the
city
structure
is
set
up,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we,
that
our
constituents
don't
deserve
answers
absolutely
and
that
and
that
there
can't
and
that
there
shouldn't
be
transparency
in
this
process.
A
There
absolutely
needs
to
be
transparency
in
this
process,
which
I
think
is
your
point
and
so
I'll.
Let
mr
nielsen
speak
if
he
wants
to
to
that
to
any
of
the
questions,
but
I
did
since
some
of
those
questions
were
answered
in
in
in
in.
In
this
conversation,
I've
been
having
with
the
council
president.
I
thought
I
would
chime
in
so.
H
Chair
ellison
council
member,
wanted,
it
was
well
said
chairless,
and
I
agree
with
everything
you
said
going
forward.
There
is
obviously
a
significant
role
for
the
council
to
play
in
in
that
report
and
any
resolution
stemming
from
that
report
for
a
whole
number
of
reasons,
and
so
yes,
you,
you
know
the
council
will
be
at
the
table.
H
H
But
in
terms
of
any
other
discussion
of
the
mdhr
report,
I'm
happy
to
have
that
offline
or
or
answer
questions
as
you
see
fit,
go
ahead.
D
D
H
Chairless
and
council
member
wants
the
world.
I
don't
know
that
I
have
the
the
full
picture
to
answer
that
question
for
you
at
this
point.
There's
obviously
public
engagement
going
on
some
of
it
initiated
by
the
state
that
the
city
will
be
participating
in,
and
I
assume
there
will
be
additional
forms
of
public
engagement
as
well,
but
but
I
I
can
get
an
answer
for
that
and
get
you
more
information.
A
Great
I'm
happy
to
move
approval
of
item
19.
and
see
no
further
discretion.
A
I
will
all
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay
and
and
before
we
adjourn,
I
guess
I'll,
just
sort
of
conclude
by
reaffirming
the
point
that
I
I
just
made,
which
is
that
some
folks
in
the
community
and
and
some
of
my
colleagues
may
have
caught
when
that
there
was
an
interest
in
having
the
state
come
and
speak
to
pogo
today,
for
for
reasons
outside
of
everyone's
control,
that
that
presentation
was
not
able
to
happen
today
and-
and
I
think
that,
what
what
is
going
to
come
to
fruition
instead,
I
think,
is
a
part
of
this
conversation
that
I've
been
having
with
the
council
president,
which
is
to
set
up
instead
of
a
one-off
presentation
for
the
state
to
come
and
and
answer
questions
from
council
instead
engaging
in
a
process
where
the
council
can
be
involved
where
the
state
can
be
and
play
an
active
role
and
where,
quite
frankly,
the
executive
committee
can
play
an
active
role
in
making
sure
that
council
is
is
up
to
date.
A
On
what
these
discussions
look
like,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
for
the
record
here
and
if
my
colleagues
have
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
it
this
week
and
for
the
sake
of
the
public.
I
just
want
folks
to
know
that
this
is
absolutely
a
conversation
that
we're
engaged
in
and
that
the
details
of
how
we're
gonna
engage
in
that
conversation
should
be
coming
forthcoming.
This
week,
oh
and
then
vice
chair.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
ellison,
just
a
quick
question,
so
we're
kind
of
doing
the
both
end
of
at
least.
If
I'm
hearing
this
right,
where
there
might
be
some
type
of
presentation
you
mentioned
earlier,
maybe
towards
the
full
council,
maybe
we're
looking
at
a
cow
type
presentation
for
everyone
and
then
some
type
of
stuff,
subsequent,
like
ongoing
yeah.
A
Yes,
so
yeah
an
initial
presentation,
there's
something
ongoing,
I
think,
is
and
something
that
would
be
at
the
full
council
we're
a
body
of
six
here
at
pogo,
and
I
think
some
of
the
consensus
was
that
this
should
really
be
a
discussion
that
the
entire
council
is
involved
in
which
I
think
is
is
valid.
So
thank
you
and
thank
my
colleagues
for
that
and
with
that
I
think
we've
concluded
all
the
business
before
us
today
and
without
any
objection.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
