B
Resolutions
to
present
which
we
will
do
before
taking
up
our
regular
order
of
business
and
the
first
resolution
is
honoring
the
life
and
service
of
Jamar
Whitlock,
and
we
have
a
number
of
his
family
here
today
with
us
today.
So
I'm
gonna
come
down
and
read
the
resolution
and
it'll
take
me
a
moment
to
get
down
there,
but
the
family
can
join
me
at
the
front
of
the
podium
here.
B
B
C
B
Morning
so
this
resolution
honoring
the
life
and
service
of
Jamar
Whitlock,
whereas
Jamar
Whitlock
a
dedicated
public
servant.
Long
time,
City
of
Minneapolis
employee,
an
active
member
of
his
community,
was
born
February
22nd
1977
in
the
central
neighborhood,
where
he
was
also
raised
and
passed
away.
November
25th
2022
at
the
age
of
45.
B
and
whereas
the
Whitlock
family's
deep
ties
to
the
central
neighborhood
include
a
family-owned
dry
cleaning
business
on
38th
and
Nicollet
in
the
late
50s
and
60s.
That
would
eventually
close
due
to
the
construction
of
I-35w,
prominent
contributors
to
the
Arts
and
Cultural
scene
in
the
Minneapolis
metropolitan
area,
including
some
who
participated
in
the
local
Grammy,
award-winning,
Ensemble
Sounds
of
Blackness
and
whereas
Tamar,
who
had
a
love
for
his
City
and
Community,
began
his
career
in
public
service
early.
B
Sorry,
where's
Jamar
was
loyal
and
always
made
time
for
the
kids
in
the
neighborhood
by
orchestrating
games
and
activities,
including
football
games
at
the
field
that
is
now
Richard,
Greene
Central
School
and
is
remembered
as
the
big
brother
to
all
in
the
community
and
whereas
Tamar
graduated
from
a
historically
black
college
Tennessee
state
where
he
doubled
majored
in
physics
and
Mathematics
excelled
in
engineering.
And
at
this
excuse
me
at
the
same
school,
attended
by
Oprah
Winfrey,
finding
his
passion
for
physics.
B
He
was
a
mentor
a
leader
to
many
employees
and
made
significant
contributions
to
the
process,
improvements
for
the
CAD
software
upgrades
and
as
built
process.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with
and
was
always
dedicated
to
doing,
the
best
work
possible
and
whereas
Jamar
was
a
beloved
Son
uncle
and
Godfather
at
the
time
when
his
sister
passed
away
and
her
father
after
that
Jamar
stepped
up
to
play
a
significant
role
in
the
lives
of
his
nieces,
nephews
and
God
children.
D
And
whereas
on
December,
18
1990,
the
United
Nations
adopted
an
International
Convention
on
the
protection
of
the
rights
of
all
migrant
workers
and
members
of
their
families.
And
whereas
the
international
migrant
state
offers
an
opportunity
to
recognize
the
contribution
and
human
rights
of
migrants
worldwide
and
here
at
home
and
more
fully
understand
the
Dynamics
of
migration.
E
Minneapolis
Works
to
promote
and
Foster
welcoming
environment
for
all
individuals,
regardless
of
race,
ethnicity
or
place
of
origin,
gender
identity
or
religious
affiliation,
and
whereas
advancing
the
human
rights
for
all
residents,
including
individuals
who
migrate
from
abroad
to
new
lives
in
Minneapolis,
is
one
way
to
honor.
The
value
embodied
in
the
United
United.
E
And
whereas
in
2022,
action
is
an
initiated
undertaking
by
the
city
that
Advance
the
human
rights
for
all
residents,
including
pursuit
of
Unicef.
Child

F
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
do
hereby
recognize
December,
10
2022
as
human
rights
day
and
December
18
2022
as
International
migrants
Day
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
We
further
invite
City
residents
to
recognize
these
two
occasions
by
learning
about
the
universal
Declaration
of
Human
Rights
and
the
International
Convention
on
the
protection
of
the
rights
of
all
migrant
workers
and
the
members
and
members
of
their
families,
sharing
this
information
with
others
and
identifying
additional
tangible
ways
to
honor
and
uphold
the
rights
identified
in
these
documents.
F

G
G
My
heartfelt
thanks
to
everyone
for
passing
the
resolution
on
human
rights
and
international
migrants
day
as
a
city,
employee
and
a
resident
of
Cedar
Riverside
I
am
deeply
grateful
for
the
commitment
to
protecting
and
I'm
holding
the
fundamental
rights
of
all
individuals.
Human
rights
and
the
rights
of
immigrants
are
not
to
it's
not
really
hard
to
understand.
G
They
are
everyday
Concepts
that
apply
to
our
day-to-day
life
right
to
freedom
of
movement,
freedom
of
speech,
the
right
to
practice
our
religion,
alhamdulillah,
enjoy
our
families,
pursue
in
education,
the
right
to
pursue
Asylum,
the
right
to
rest
and
Leisure
the
right
to
practice
in
our
country's
government.
The
passage
of
this
resolution
really
sends
a
powerful
message
to
our
community
and
the
council's
commitment
to
promoting
equality,
non-discrimination
and
respect
for
human
rights.
G
It
also
shows
that
the
council
is
taking
concrete
steps
to
ensure
that
these
whites
are
protected
and
supported.
I
am
proud
to
be
part
of
a
community
that
values
and
protects
human
rights
and
I'm,
confident
that
the
council's
actions
today
in
honoring
Human,
Rights,
Day
and
international
migrants
day,
as
well
as
a
commitment
of
resources
through
the
city's
budget,
that
protect
and
uphold
the
rights
of
all
cities
residents
and
also
to
make
a
real
difference
in
the
lives
of
many
people
in
our
community.

I
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted

resolution
would
not

B
A
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
this
Committee
of
the
whole
brings
forward
two
items
for
Action
this
cycle:
that's
the
Enterprise
policy
on
legislative
directives
and
informal
requests.
We
had
a
presentation
and
some
discussion
on
this
at
Council
and
also
our
strategic
race,
Equity
plan
action,
update,
approving
the
extension
and
updating
the
policy
priority
goals.
I'll
move
both
of
those
items
forward
for
approval.
B
J
L
J
J
B
M
You,
madam
president,
the
intergovernmental
Relations
Committee
is
bringing
two
items
forward
today
on
a
report.
The
first
is
authorizing
contracts
with
Frederickson
and
Byron,
Hilton,
advocacy
and
law
and
Primacy
group
for
legislation,
representative
services,
and
the
second
item
is
approving
the
2023
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions.
I'll
move
approval
of
these
two
items.
B
L
C
B
L
C
L
So
I
don't
support
moving
forward
with
this
particular
contract
with
this
group
at
this
time
and
we'll
be
voting
no
on
this
item.
In
regards
to
this
amended
motion
that
I'm
bringing
forward
there's
two
amendments
that
I'm
bringing
the
first
demonstrates
support
for
critical
policies,
that
is
in
alignment
with
the
city's
climate
in
transit
goals.
I
would
like
to
you
know
note
that
the
city
supports
legislation
to
enact
a
Statewide
vehicle
called
Mouse
travel
reduction
goal.
L
L
Additional
language
in
this
also
includes
support
for
efforts
to
report
repair,
the
historic
and
ongoing
harm
of
the
highway
projects
and
support
for
legislation
to
amend
State
processes
for
transportation,
project,
Planning,
Development
and
environmental
review
to
better
incorporate
the
intersectional
impacts
of
Transportation
projects,
including
impacts
on
environmental
justice,
racial
Equity,
climate
accessibility,
Economic,
Opportunity
and
Community
connectivity.
I.
Think
many
of
us
are
aware
that
there
are
two
Highway
removal
projects
that
I
know.
L
One
I
do
want
to
give
some
context
for
my
second
amendment
that
I'm
bringing
forward,
which
is
a
response
to
worker
demands
around
the
poor
working
conditions
that
Uber
and
Lyft
drivers
have
to
work
under
I
know.
Many
of
us
have
seen
these
workers
come
to
City
Hall
and
have
asked
us
many
times
to
support
them
in
recent
months.
I
know
that
those
workers
are
also
having
really
productive
conversations
with
the
Minneapolis
delegation,
and
there
is
supporting
my
state,
reps
and
and
lawmakers
to
make
this
a
priority.
L
This
session
I
believe
a
formal
inclusion
of
the
support
in
our
own
legislative
policy
shows
a
commitment
to
ensuring
that
all
of
our
workers
are
protected,
and
especially
our
contract
or
get
workers
who
are
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
workers
in
our
our
country.
Right
now,
so
I
am
very
interested
in
pursuing
a
local
policy.
M
You,
madam
president,
and
I've
I'm,
sort
of
processing
these
in
real
time.
I
know
councilmember
wansley's
office
sent
these
out
yesterday
late
in
the
afternoon.
So
this
morning
that
was
my
first
time.
Checking
these
out
and
so
I
had
a
chance
to
communicate
with
igr
staff
around
this
as
well
to
understand
kind
of
the
conversations
that
went
into
this
and
where
this
is
at
and
so
for.
Colleagues,
you
know
their
recommendation
is
on
the
first
one.
M
They
talked
with
Public
Works
the
item
in
bold
the
language
in
bold
they
are
supportive
of
including,
and
they
recommend
the
additional
language
that
we
hold
off
on
that
and
continue
internal
and
external
discussions
both
for
Uber
and
Lyft
and
then
as
well.
These
other
items
on
here
you
know
I
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
the
intent
to
councilmember
ones,
and
so
perhaps
you
could
clarify
if
you're
in
tension
with
the
first
motion
is
to
include
all
of
the
language
on
the
page
or
if
it's
just
the
Bold
section.
L
Thank
you,
councilmember
Johnson,
so
in
our
conversations
and
I
do
want
to
know,
we've
been
in
extensive
conversations
with
igr
staff
about
the
construction
of
the
language.
From
our
understanding,
what
will
be
included
in
our
legislative
packet
would
be
the
bolded
information.
If
you
all
take
a
look
at
the
legislative
agenda
that
we
prepared
after
every
state
it
kind
of
legislative
gold.
There
is
text
there.
That
explains,
that's
that's
for
the
larger
packet
in
itself,
but
the
bowl
would
be
incorporated
and
we
got
support
from
that.
L
L
What
would
be
bolded
on
this
case
would
be
support
for
transportation,
Rideshare
workers,
Uber
and
Lyft
drivers.
Again,
we
constructed
this
language
in
Partnership
and
conversations
with
the
Minneapolis
delegation,
which
is
several
weeks
ago,
held
a
press
conference
with
the
lift
and
Uber
Association
saying
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
priority
for
them.
So
we
just
wanted
to
reflect
that.
The
city
is
also
shares
a
commitment
in
working
with
our
Minneapolis
delegation
to
advance
this
critical
workers
rights
forward.
L
So
that
would
be
the
part
and
I'm
sorry,
that's
not
voted
on
the
Second,
Amendment
and
again
same
kind
of
pretense.
You
know
whatever
language
that
igr
would
like
to
opt
in
in
that
larger
legislative
packet
to
you
know,
add
additional
contacts
I
defer
to
their.
You
know,
expertise
on
that,
but
we
were
told
to
include
that.
M
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
so
I.
You
know
it's
helpful
to
have
the
additional
thoughts
on
here.
I
think,
for
the
intents
and
purposes
of
modifying
the
legislative
agenda,
and
just
looking
at
page
nine
of
where
that
is
that
there's
a
number
of
bullet
points
and
we
can
see
kind
of
how
essentially
they're
one
one
line
in
some
cases
they
wrap
but
I
think
certainly
it
would
be
appropriate
to
have
the
language
that
says,
support
legislation
to
enact
a
Statewide
vehicle
miles,
traveled
VMT
reduction
goal.
M
So
that's
the
addition
and
it
looks
like
councilmember
onesies,
confirming
that
that
I
I
would
be
supportive
of
that
motion.
I
on
the
second
motion.
I
would
not
be
supportive
of
moving
that
forward
at
this
time,
but
would
remind
folks
that
we
are
going
to
have
additional
igr
meetings
coming
up.
They
got
put
out
on
your
calendar.
M
It
is
very
typical
that
during
the
legislative
session,
we
do
oftentimes
multiple
times
update
the
legislative
agenda,
as
there
are
developments
that
occur,
and
so
we
would
have
ample
time
to
have
that
discussion
over
this
intention,
both
internally
and
externally,
to
come
up
with
some
additional
language
that
could
be
brought
forward
at
a
later
time.
So
that's
that's.
What
I
would
encourage
my
colleagues
to
do
on
these
two
motions.
B
B
B
Also
Memorial
Highway
should
absolutely
be
reclaimed
in
the
name.
The
name
itself
is
called
a
highway
and
it's
running
through
our
residential
communities,
and
we
have
another
Highway
that
serves
the
same
purpose,
394
and
so
I.
Certainly
I
think
that
we
need
to
change
that,
but
stepping
into
this
I-94,
slash,
Rondo
project
I,
think
is
a
bit
premature
at
this
particular
time.
B
B
L
L
Thank
you.
So
actually,
there
is
a
total
of
four
amendments.
Clerk
Carl
just
helped
to
note
that
so
on
the
first
page,
you
will
see
the
three
bullet
points.
Those
basically
highlighted.
Both
it
would
be
included
under
our
current
transportation
and
transit
system
policies,
which
currently
is
on
page
nine
of
our
our
legislative
packet.
L
Several
of
us,
including
myself,
sit
on
the
rethinking
94
committee,
where
we're
really
like
in
real
time
debating
out
how
we're
going
to
move
forward
in
a
more
restorative,
Equitable,
anti
racist
way
of
rethinking
how
we're
doing
a
highway
infrastructure,
and
we
have
considered
both
the
Rondo
Bridge,
as
well
as
the
Twin
Cities
Boulevard
project,
in
a
number
of
other
Highway
modifications.
Those
are
currently
being
considered
by
that
body.
L
Right
now
and
there's
been
thousands
and
thousands
of
folks
who
have
articulated
very
clearly
and
I
want
to
know
also
County
and
and
Statewide
leaders
of
knowing
that
these
are
not
in
opposition
with
each
other.
The
Rondo
Bridge
stops
in
Rondo
and
St
Paul
and
then
will
leave
the
highway
in
place
for
the
rest
of
our
communities,
which
runs
through
my
War,
runs
through
council
member
Osmond's
war,
council
member,
as
well
as
council,
member
Ellison
and
council
member
Vitas
work.
L
Basically,
the
wars
that
have
the
largest
concentration
and
density
of
black
and
brown
Working
Class
People,
and
that
we
know
are
bringing
in
environmental
pollutants
to
those
particular
communities
as
well.
So
we
have
an
opportunity
to
rectify
those
particular
environmental
and
racist
challenges
for
those
communities,
while
also
acknowledging
the
harm
that
has
happened
to
the
Rondo
Community
when
city
leaders
at
that
time
decided
to
make
the
decision
to
run
a
highway
through
that
predominantly
black
community.
So
I
don't
see
these
as
conflict
in
with
each
other.
L
If
we
give
gig
workers
basically
benefits
of
full-time
employees,
then
that
takes
away
their
autonomy
as
get
Workers
give
workers
does
deserve
the
same
level
of
benefits
than
any
as
any
full-time
employee.
That's
that's
non-negotiable
and
I.
Think
we've
had
on
going
ongoing
conversation
about
the
ways
in
which
workers
are
ripped
off
in
the
city
just
early
just
Tuesday,
when
we
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
for
co-enforcement
and
knowing
that
mostly
immigrants,
black
and
brown
workers,
some
of
the
most
lowest
paid
workers
in
the
city
are
constantly
having
their
wages
be
stolen
from
them.
L
This
is
also
included
in
our
get
Workers
the
Lyft
and
Uber
drivers
who
literally
came
up
here,
occupied
mayor
Fry's
office
by
the
hundreds,
and
they
literally
name
these
things.
These
are
not
Robin's
proposals.
These
are
the
workers
who
are
being
ripped
off,
who
are
not
getting
any
the
amounts
of
of
money
that
they
are
earning
for
these
multi-billion
dollar
companies
and
they're
working
80
90
hours
each
week,
and
they
still
can't
afford
to
pay
their
rent.
L
They
can't
take
care
of
their
children
and
they
can't
even
get
health
care
when
they're
being
attacked,
while
they're
driving
and
Servicing
workers
of
Minneapolis.
So
the
least
we
can
do
is
show
that
we
support
our
Statewide
legislators,
who
are
also
going
to
be
making
this
a
priority
to
make
sure
our
workers,
regardless,
if
you're
a
gig
worker
regardless.
L
If
you
wash
windows,
if
your
hospitality
workers
you
deserve
Baseline
benefits
period,
so
I
think
this
is
another
opportunity
for
us
to
show
our
continued
support
for
workers
as
a
city,
and
this
is
reflective
of
what
those
workers
asked
of
us
time
and
time
again.
You
probably
just
got
an
email
about
it
like
a
couple
days
ago
we're
a
Lyft
and
Uber
drivers
early,
say,
city
city
Minneapolis.
We
want
you
to
show
up
with
us,
and
this
is
a
small
way
in
which
we
can
demonstrate
that.
M
M
I
will
be
supporting
that
today.
For
the
other
three,
my
suggestion
is
rather
than
saying:
hey
they're,
not
ready,
now
I'm
going
against
them.
Did
we
actually
refer
them
back
to
the
igr
committee.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
material
behind
each
one
and
we
can
work
with
staff
and
we
can
refine
and
get
those
incorporated
into
our
legislative
agenda.
M
So
it
is
my
intent
that
for
the
other
three
items,
I
will
move
that
we
refer
those
back
to
the
igr
committee,
I,
I,
guess,
I'm
looking
to
I
know
the
queue's
kind
of
stacking
up.
We've
got
lots
of
different
motions,
because
I'm
I'm
wanting
to
take
a
moment
here,
maybe
to
work
with
the
council
president
and
the
clerk
on
how
we
sort
that
out.
M
B
Let
me
just
confirm
I
know
because
there's
a
number
of
people
in
queue,
our
folks
in
queue
to
discuss,
item
number
one
I'm,
seeing
a
lot
of
no's
and
so
I
think
for
clarity.
Let's
take
up
item
number
one
on
the
igr
committee
report,
which
is
the
contract
with
Frederickson
Byron,
hilden
advocacy
and
law
and
Primacy
Group
LLC.
C
J
B
K
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
as
to
where
we're
at
I
agree
with
council
member
Johnson
with
regard
to
the
process
on
this
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
94
runs
directly
through
the
Seventh
Ward
as
well,
and
also
that
city
leaders
at
the
time
did
not
encourage
highways
to
break
up
neighborhoods.
That
was
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
so
I.
Wasn't
here
then
I
know
contrary
to
popular
belief.
I've
been
here
for
60
years.
E
K
I,
don't
think
we
should
suggest
that
city
leaders
at
that
time
were
doing
something
purposely
to
break
up
neighborhoods
either
and
I
do
accept
the
fact
that
we
need
to
make
changes
because
it's
destroyed.
Many
neighborhoods
I
will
point
out.
It
broke
my
own
neighborhood
in
half
Bryn
Mawr,
which
has
394
running
through
it.
It
broke
Loring,
Park
and
Loring
Heights
in
half,
and
then
the
damage
of
the
tunnel
which
came
through
downtown,
broke
Loring,
Park
and
Lowry
Hill
in
half.
K
So
there
have
been
many
areas
that
have
been
wronged
and,
quite
frankly,
thousands
and
thousands
of
rental
units
destroyed
in
the
central
part
of
downtown
as
a
result
of
the
damage
of
building
this
highway.
The
way
they
did
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
comments
and
strongly
support,
councilmember,
Johnson's
path
forward.
E
E
I
guess
you
know
app
that
came
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
they
don't
get
regulated
at
all.
The
residents,
I
would
say.
89
of
residents
in
Minneapolis
that
drive
are
minority
communities.
I
attended
a
protest
or
I
guess
Gathering
to
talk
about
the
challenges
and
the
problems
they
face
in
Bloomington
over
300
residents
show
up.
There
were
so
many
issues,
they
have
discussed
wage
theft,
insurance
fraud,
Miss
College,
Miss,
classification
of
drivers,
independent
contractors,
a
safety
issue
and
wrongfully
deactivation
of
drivers.
E
E
We
as
a
city.
We
have
to
be
up
front
of
for
this
resident
and
protecting
their
rights.
We
have
discussed
in
depth
yesterday
about
co-enforcement.
This
is
something
we
can
do
and
we
can
direct
our
steps
to
Take
the
Lead
money
residents.
Here
are
drivers.
Drivers
are
live
in
City
of
Minneapolis,
so
we
regulate
everything
else,
but
we
do
not
regulate
Uber
and
this
state
doesn't
really
regulate
any
of
it.
E
They
get
away
with
it
for
many
things
they
are
very
powerful,
but
it's
time
for
us
to
stand
up
for
this
resident
resident
has
showed
up
money.
Drivers
have
show
up
in
our
city,
many
of
you
have
spoken
to
to
them,
and
so
there's
real
issues
here.
So,
let's,
let's
just
be
up
front
and
making
sure
that
we
are
addressing
this
issue.
Thank
you,
council
president.
O
J
Defer
to
council
member
Johnson
on
the
intent,
but
I
tried
to
capture
in
the
chat
that
I
literally
just
sent,
as
you
asked
that
I
think
there
are
four
proposed
amendments
from
council
member
wansley
that
have
been
packaged
into
two
pieces
of
paper.
Three
of
the
amendments
are
on
page
one.
There
is
a
separate
Fourth
Amendment
on
the
second
page,
I
believe
councilmember
Johnson
said
in
talking
with
the
igr
team.
There
is
support
for
the
first
proposed
amendment,
which
is
the
bolded
language.
J
On
the
first
page
of
the
wansley
amendment
packet
that
says,
support
legislation
to
enact
a
Statewide
vehicle
miles,
traveled
VMT
reduction
goal
councilmember
Johnson
has
said
we
should
probably
vote
on
that
and
take
items.
Two
three
and
four.
The
remaining
three
amendments
proposed
and
refer
those
back
to
the
igr
committee
for
further
work.
I
believe
that's
what
he
said
is
that
the
four
emotions
are
in
front
of
you
now
he
has
suggested
voting
on
item.
One
igr
team
supports
that
adding
that
now
and
sending
the
other
three
back
to
the
igr
committee
for
further
work.
B
O
B
J
D
President
nice
Jeremiah
I
took
a
Lyft
ride
about
two
months
ago.
I
was
here
to
a
city
council
meeting
where
I
ended
up
being
right
on
time,
and
the
Lyft
driver
told
me
why
I
was
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
helping
our
Lyft
drivers
and
then
one
week
later,
consumer
Osman
was
able
to
work
with
a
whole
bunch
of
Lyft
drivers
right
outside
City
Hall,
demanding
that
the
City
of
Minneapolis
take
action
to
protect
gig
workers.
They
were
outside
of
Mayor
Fry's
office.
D
They
came
to
our
offices
and
said
that
we
need
to
take
action
now.
I
am
very
happy
that
consumer
wanzi
today
is
giving
the
consult
an
opportunity
to
vote
on,
supporting
or
Lyft
and
Uber
drivers
and
I.
Think
that,
as
you
all
know,
the
legislative
recession
of
the
state
begins
January
3rd.
We
don't
have
committees
in
the
city
Minneapolis
until
after
January,
3rd
or
January
3rd.
D
We
need
to
be
able
to
work
this
month
of
December
with
our
legislative
body
and
the
state
level
to
make
sure
that
we
show
them
that
we
stand
with
their
Lyft
and
Uber
drivers
and
I
don't
want
to
send
a
message
to
a
legislative
body
that
at
this
moment,
this
Council
isn't
ready
to
take
the
vote.
I
want
to
send
a
strong
message
that
we
want
to
support
them
now.
If
we
want
to
make
an
amendment
to
councilmember
1st
Amendment,
we
can
make
that
amendment
in
January
when
the
legislative
session
has
already
begun.
D

J
Councilmember

aye

Osmond,

There
are
13
eyes.
B
L
Thank
you
Bob
president
I
just
want
to
reflect
and
also
a
motion.
What
councilmember,
Chavez
I
would
rather
just
take
the
votes
right
now,
all
three
remaining
votes,
and
if
those
that
don't
move
forward
yes,
I,
definitely
agree
with
councilmember
Johnson's
suggestion
to
bring
them
back
to
the
committee,
but
I
think
today
will
be
good
to
take
the
votes
in
underline
what
councilmember
Chavez
has
raised,
that
the
session
begins
on
January
3rd.
L
So
it
would
be
good
to
have
these
priorities
kind
of
finalized
before
then,
and
then
yes,
we
can
absolutely
make
subsequent
amendments
to
them.
So
I
would
like
to
see
the
remaining
three
be
taken
up
for
a
vote.
I
also
want
to
know
very
quickly
in
considering
the
efforts
to
report.
The
historic
and
ongoing
harms
of
the
highway
I
do
want
to
know
this.
This
Council
actually
passed
a
resolution
in
support
of
this.
L
So
knowing
that
there
has
been
ongoing
work
amongst
this
body
amongst
this
entrepreneur
to
also
say
we
absolutely
need
to
be
rethinking
94
in
a
way
that
doesn't
exasperate
those
harms
that
many
of
us
have
talked
about,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make.
That
motion
to
reflect
that
I
would
like
the
three
to
be
considered
and
voted
on
today.
M
Madam
chair
and
maybe
I'll
be
explicit
about
this,
because
I
I
don't
want
to
get
accused
of
anything
like
councilman.
Murkowski
was
the
other
day,
but
while
we
all
have
the
right
to
bring
forward
amendments
at
full
Council,
so
we
all
have
the
right
and
I'm
not
questioning
that
we
did
communicate
a
process
for
an
explicit
reason
so
that
there
would
be
advanced
notice
for
Council
Members.
M
This
out,
I
understand
the
committee
work
and
frankly,
work
over
at
the
legislature
has
already
begun,
but
that
doesn't
stop
council
members
from
working
with
our
delegation.
Our
delegation
cares
about
these
issues
as
well.
They're
happy
to
start
that
work
in
parallel
in
the
city
to
add.
In
the
legislative
support
and
so
I
think
procedurally
I
understand
the
desire
to
vote
and
then
move
to
committee,
but
I
frankly
think
that
gets
it
backwards.
M
If
this
isn't
ready
to
go
at
this
point,
which
is
what
we're
hearing
from
our
staff
I
really
do,
think
we
need
to
follow
the
appropriate
process,
because
I,
don't
think
it's
good
governance
to
just
take
things
that
aren't
ready
according
to
our
staff
that
deviated
from
the
process
that
was
well
communicated
out
to
folks,
even
if
we
still
have
that
right
to
do
it.
Just
because
we
have
a
right
doesn't
mean
it's
necessarily
right.
M
The
approach
that
we're
taking
and
so
I
am
going
to
move
that
we
actually
do
send
all
three
of
these
to
the
igr
committee.
I
think
that's
the
appropriate
vote
to
take
first,
if
that
fails,
and
people
want
to
take
separate
votes
on
stuff
and
then
afterwards
try
to
send
it
back.
You
know
fine,
but
I
think
this
is
the
appropriate
approach.
So
I
am
going
to
make
that
substitute
motion
to
send
all
three
items
to
the
igr
committee.
Q
L
Thank
you,
I'm,
not
a
president.
I
just
want
to
note
a
theme
that
I've
seen
happen
here,
multiple
times
as
councilmember
Johnson
raised.
There
is
a
process.
Yes,
there's
always
a
process,
but
guess
what
working
class
people's
lives
don't
revolve
around
process?
We
work
with
igr
Staff
last
Wednesday
to
have
comments
about
our
legislative
agenda,
be
reflected
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we
just
voted
in
favor
of
that
guess.
L
What
get
Workers
lives
still
continue
in
between
those
deadlines,
as
well
as
the
work
that
we
did
around
budget,
and
we
were
asked
that
this
is
a
priority
for
my
workers.
Our
gig
workers
are
lifting
Uber
driver
workers
that
they
would
like
to
see
prioritize.
So
that's
great
that
we
like
to
use
for
seizures,
but
I'm
here
to
represent
Working
Class
People
in
this
amendment
is
reflected
of
that
is
reflective
of
the
urgency
of
now
not
in
January.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
be
able
to
take
the
vote
today.
L
It's
okay,
if
you
feel
uncomfortable
with
taking
maybe
an
uncomfortable
vote,
but
that's
your
decision.
Workers
asked
us
to
move
things.
Working
Class
People
said
hey.
Let's
take
a
stance
around
how
we
approach
Highway
removal.
We
have
the
ability
to
do
that
today
again.
Also,
if
people
can
please
limit
your
Whispers
acquire
them
now,
really
just
trying
to
be
respectful
and
share
like
legit
we're
literally
like
One
mic
here,
please
can
we
just
have
one
conversation?
Please
there
we
go
basic
level
or
decorum,
so
that
is
it.
L
That's
all
I'm
asking
this
should
not
even
be
a
debate
to
say,
let's
reflect
priorities
that
Working
Class
People
have
asked
of
us
in
this
current
moment
today
and
not
use
a
weaponized
procedure
as
a
way
to
like
dismiss
that,
especially
when
it's
being
brought
forward
by
consistently
members
of
color.
So
I
do
want
to
note
that.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
say:
I
I,
I
I'm,
prepared
to
vote
for
this
today
and
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
I
would
typically
support
the
substitute
motion.
I
think
that
councilmember
Johnson
makes
a
lot
of
good
points
and
I
think
he
makes
those
points,
and
this
recommendation
in
good
faith.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
got
to
say
you
know
we
are
here
to
do
the
work,
and
that
includes
following
process
and
understanding
the
process
and
I
appreciate
all
the
council
members
that
brought
forward
many
amendments
to
the
legislative
agenda
yesterday
who
followed
the
process,
including
council
members
of
color.
Thank
you.
B
N
J
B
I
J
B
P
Q
B
Can
we
just
do
a
Voice
vote
on
that
all
in
favor,
okay
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed?
No,
the
eyes
have
it
item
number
three
support
legislation
to
amend
the
state
process
for
transportation,
project,
Planning,
Development
and
environmental
review
to
better
incorporate
the
intersectional
impacts
of
Transportation
projects,
including
impacts
on
environmental
justice,
racial
Equity,
climate
accessibility,
Economic,
Opportunity
and
Community
connectivity.
N
K
B
L
M
I
I
would
suggest
that
council
member
wants
that.
If
you
look
at
the
legislative
agenda,
no
other
company
is
mentioned
in
there,
so
I
don't
think
we
want
to
set
the
precedent
of
starting
to
call
out
individual
companies
in
our
legislative
agenda
and
instead
also
by
the
way
I
would
hope
that
all
these
things
being
proposed
are
proposed
to
all
Rideshare
companies,
not
just
Uber
and
Lyft,
and
so
that's
another
reason
to
do
this.
Well,.
L
R
Council
president
council
members
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
that
we
currently
have
our
ordinance
is
referring
to
Transportation
Network
companies,
title
13
of
the
Minneapolis
code
of
ordinances,
so
that
may
be
a
a
different
moniker
that
might
fit
for
this.
Rather
than
calling
out
specific
companies.
N
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
think
we
should
you
know
if
we're
trying
to
get
away
from
specific
companies
I
think
it's
not
just
Transportation
Network
companies
is
that
the
language
it's
all
gig
work.
It's
not
just
Uber
Lyft,
it's
doordash,
it's
I,
didn't
name
them.
There's
a
number
of
these
companies
and
I
think
we
should
make
this
language
as
expansive
as
possible
for
all
of
the
workers
that
are
really
at
the
whims
of
a
bunch
of
venture
capitals.
J
We
had
a
motion
which
is
to
approve
number
four.
There
was
an
amendment
made
and
seconded
that's.
What's
in
front
of
the
body
I'll
remind
you,
there's
no
such
thing
as
friendly
amendments.
We
make
them,
but
that's
when
the
there's,
no
one
who
objects,
there's
no
such
thing
as
a
friendly
Amendment.
So
we
have
an
amendment.
It
was
seconded
to
change
the
language
in
what
is
number
four
to
support
for
transportation.
Rideshare
workers
ride
share
driver
protections,
that's
what
I
captured.
J
The
attorney
has
suggested
that
ride
share
should
be
changed
to
Transportation
Network
companies
to
align
with,
what's
currently
in
our
code,
certainly
defer
to
the
body
to
make
sure
that
our
language
aligns
with
the
code.
But
that's
the
motion.
The
amendment
that's
before
us,
certainly
another
one
could
be
made
if
that
Amendment
doesn't
pass.
Okay.
F
J
B
J
Council
member
wansley
aye
councilmember
Johnson
I'm,
saying
councilmember
Osman
aye
councilmember
Payne,
aye,
councilmember,
Council
membership
time,
aye,
council,
member
Chavez,
aye
council
member
Ellison,
aye
council
member
Vita,
aye
councilmember,
rainville
aye
councilmember
Goodman
abstain.
Vice
president
palmisano.
I
M
M
I
think
it
would
require
a
more
substantial
rewrite
in
order
to
really
be
applicable
to
Gig
workers,
which
I
think
is
a
great
intent,
and
what
I
would
like
to
see
and
frankly
is
why
I
referred
this
back
to
committee,
but
that
wasn't
the
will
of
the
body,
and
so
because
of
that,
I
will
probably
abstain
on
the
overall
motion,
because,
frankly,
I
think
the
language
is
sloppy.
It
doesn't
meet
the
level
of
Standards.
M
I
would
have
for
a
legislative
agenda
and
I
think
that
it's
going
to
need
if
it
passes,
which
it
seems
like
it
will
I
think
we're
frankly
going
to
have
to
double
back
work
with
staff
to
try
to
clean
it
up
and
I.
Just
don't
think.
That's
a
good
way
to
put
our
best
foot
forward
with
our
work
is
passing
stuff,
that's
kind
of
language,
wise,
half-baked,
even
if
the
intent
is
great
I
think
this
body
has
a
responsibility
to
do
more
than
that,
but
that's
just
my
opinion
on
it.

B
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
run
to
race
a
couple
things
about
items
33
and
items
34,
especially
since
I
got
some
follow-up
on
them.
Since
our
Pogo
meeting
on
Monday
item
number
three,
which
is
the
legal
settlement
of
Scott
Meyer
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I,
do
want
to
highlight
that
this
settlement
is
related
to
an
MPD
officer
who,
through
a
resident
cell
phone
off
a
bridge
when
the
resident
attempted
to
film
the
officer
during
the
summer
of
2020.
The
update
the
or
the
question
that
I
asked
was.
L
L
Since
then,
again,
I
have
gotten
confirmation
that
it
is
the
same
officer
who
posted
hostile
and
violent
threats
towards
Somali
residents
on
Facebook,
and
this
is
really
a
very
timely
conversation.
Since
you
know
many
of
us
are
having
to
consider
changes
to
the
ccpo
ordinance
and
even
just
this
week.
You
know
there
was
an
officer
who
was
just
finally
identified
for
that
Infamous
documented
spraying,
peaceful
protesters
and
journalists
while
driving.
L
I
do
also
want
to
note
that
officer
lodick
had
two
complaints
that
went
through
the
civilian
review,
Author
Authority,
two
complaints
went
through
the
office
of
police
conduct,
review
and
four
through
Internal
Affairs.
None
of
these
resulted
in
a
discipline.
Again.
This
is
information.
You
can
research
yourself,
so
I
just
want
to
know
again.
This
is
just
continually
doubling
down
on
the
failures
of
around
accountability
of
our
officers
and
to
really
help
rebuild
trust.
L
We're
going
to
have
to
acknowledge
those
failures
and
really
do
a
lot
to
ensure
safeguards
are
incorporated
into
this
new
ccpo
ordinance
so
that
we're
not
constantly
having
to
do
this
again,
paying
out
settlements
that
could
proactively
be
prevented
if
we
held
horrible
officers
or
officers
that
are
abusing
residents
accountable
in
the
first
place.
So
I
did
want
to
provide
some
clarification
on
those
two
things
since
our
Pogo
meeting
just
to
be
Like,
These
Are.
The
officers,
in
fact
that
have
done
some
pretty
grave
or
great
thing
towards
our
residents.
P
P
These
these
workers,
compensation,
claims
and
and
and
I,
also
want
to
highlight
that
a
part
of
the
reason
we're
in
this
boat
is
because
of
some
State
Law
changes
that
are
relatively
recent
and
we're
not
the
only
city.
That's
been
gutted
by
these.
The
and
that's
my
term
by
these
worker
compensation
claims
because
of
the
state
law
change,
and
so
you
know,
I
continue
to
vote
for
them,
because
my
understanding
is
that
we
are
we're
sort
of
locked
in
we're
either
paying
more
or
paying.
P
B
B
N
Payne,
thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
build
off
of
what
council
member
Ellison
was
talking
about
and
kind
of
integrate
it
with
some
of
the
concerns
council.
Member
wansley
is
Raising
and
I
see
these
agenda
items
as
our
bi-weekly
reminder
of
how
broken
our
accountability
systems
are,
and
this
is
the
price
we
pay
for
having
that
broken
accountability
system,
so
I'm
really
hopeful
that
we
take
this
as
such
and
help
this
guide
and
influence
our
work
around
fixing
our
broken
accountability
systems.
C
I
O
B
Q
Q
B
B
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
pulling
item.
One
I
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
around
it.
I
know
that
a
number
of
us
felt
like
we
were
a
little
behind
in
that
discussion
and
wanted
to
have
a
little
bit
more
input
from
Community
wanted
to
understand
everyone's
potential
amendments
that
were
coming
forward,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to.
P
Thank
you
for
pulling
that
item
and
I
look
forward
to
doing
a
deeper
dive
on
that
and
being
able
to
hopefully
create
some
kind
of
consensus,
consensus,
Amendment
or
or
consensus
package
that
moves
us
forward.
It
really
is
something
work
that
we
should
be
celebrating
and
as
a
as
a
as
a
whole
body.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
and
that's
all
and
then
I
guess
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
I.
P
You
know,
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
around
these
buyback
programs
and
I'm
I'm
I
probably
will
Vote
for
This
buyback
today
and
but
I'm
also
excited
to
see
the
staff
the
direction
that
we're
going
to
be
moving
in
that
potentially
eliminates
those
I
think
it's
an
important
discussion.
I've
been
looking
for
a
systemic
way
for
us
to
address
this
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
that's
on
the
agenda
today.
So
thank
my
colleagues
for
that.
N
You,
madam
president,
yeah
I
also
wanted
to
thank
you
for
moving
this
to
an
next
week.
We
had
really
substantive
conversations.
I
I
had
a
both
West
City
attorney
and
with
Council
leadership,
and
it
was
the
type
of
conversation
that
I
was
hoping
that
we
would
be
able
to
have
influence
the
language
of
the
ordinance
and
I
I
I'm,
hoping
that
that
is
exactly
the
case
here.
N
I
also
wanted
to
just
kind
of
you
know,
raise
one
of
the
topics
of
conversation,
because
I
just
want
us
to
be
out
in
in
in
the
the
light
of
day.
Just
was
around
the
critical
importance
of
membership
of
of
this
commission
and
I
I'm,
hoping
that
we
as
a
body
can
really
think
critically
about
who
is
a
member,
how
they
are
appointed
and
also
how
they're
removed
and
what
under
what
circumstances,
and
so
because
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
I.
N
One
of
the
challenges
of
this
is
there's
a
tension
between
the
urgency
of
fixing
our
broken
accountability
system
and
the
anticipation
of
what
may
be
coming
forward,
both
from
the
state
and
federal
government,
and
so
we're
trying
to
be
we're.
Trying
to
get
ahead
of
some
of
those
actions,
while
moving
with
urgency
and
I
think
that
I
appreciate
that
we're
trying
to
balance
that
by
at
least
giving
a
little
bit
more
time
to
have
some
of
these
substantive
conversations
and
then
I
have
some
comments
on
the
buyback.
N
Should
I
wait
until
we
have
that
conversation
and
get
back
in
queue?
Or
do
you
want
to
hear
okay,
I
I
brought
forward
this
legislative
directive
around
BuyBacks,
because
I've
always
had
what
was
that
I've
I've
just
been
I've
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
program.
I've
heard
we
we've
I've
been
able
to
get
a
little
bit
of
feedback
from
our
department
leadership
around
some
of
the
considerations
they
have
and
taking
on
these
contracts.
But
it's
never
been
completely
clear
and
it's
never
been
up.
N
You
know
a
on
paper
public
policy
about
this,
and
so
the
intent
of
my
legislative
directive
is
really
to
understand.
What
is
the
impact
of
these
contracts?
Are
there
members
of
our
community
that
are
getting
better
service
than
other
members
of
our
community
because
of
their
access
to
wealth
and
I'm,
hoping
that
the
set
of
legislative
directive
will
be
able
to
give
us
much
more
clarity
around
some
of
those
questions
and
help
guide
our
policy
around
whether
we
even
do
these
contracts
anymore?
N
But
if
you
know,
there's
not
disparate
impact,
I'm
happy
to
entertain
this
type
of
mechanism
for
managing
police.
But
that's
why
I'm,
bringing
that
legislative
directive
forward
I'll
be
abstaining
on
the
actual
contract
before
us
today,
because
I
want
to
see
answers
to
those
questions
through
that
legislative
directive.
So.
A
You,
madam
chair
I,
don't
want
my
council
member
Payne,
said
it
well
in
the
ccpo
I
appreciate
the
conversations
we've
been
having
I
appreciate
the
Amendments
that
are
out
there,
and
we
continue
to
have
conversations
about
where
there
might
be
consensus
to
make
additional
changes
to
this,
and
thank
you,
council,
member
Payne,
for
those
conversations
on
your
legislative
directive.
I
also
wanted
just
to
say,
I
appreciate
using
the
formality
of
our
new
legislative
directive
process
to
closely
examine
the
buyback
work.
I
think
it's
very
deserving
of
it.
So
that's
all.

J
B
L
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
the
public
while
I'm
not
supporting
this
item,
which
has
justifiably
garnered
a
lot
of
scrutiny.
This
entire
year,
I
absolutely
see
BuyBacks
as
completely
contrary
to
the
goal
of
a
comprehensive
and
effective
city-wide
safety
system,
instead
of
looking
strategically
at
our
resources
and
determining
how
to
use
them
for
the
best
possible
good,
they
instead
allow
wealthier
neighborhoods
to
buy
additional
Public
Services
and
create
this
pay-to-play
model
where
the
more
money
you
and
your
neighbors
have
the
more
services
you
can
get.
L
That
is
fundamentally
unfair
when
it
comes
to
any
City
service,
whether
it's
you
know
regarding
police
or
snow
plowing
or
even
infrastructure
repairs,
so
I
believe
absolutely
supporting
this.
This
initiative
continuously
is
fundamentally
in
opposition
to
the
vision
and
goals
of
this
comprehensive
public
safety
system
that
we
are
trying
to
develop
in
this
current
moment
and
will
not
be
supporting
it.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
glad
you
rightly
acknowledge
the
use
of
buyback
has
historically
been
in
neighborhoods
that
have
had
high
challenges
and
high
crime
and
paid
for
by
a
neighborhood
associations
over
the
course
of
history.
There's
also
been
a
lot
of
this
buyback
for
sports
facilities,
bars
and
restaurants
and
others
who
have
used
it
to
get
extra
policing
over
time.
K
I
obviously
support
this
today
and
ask
you
for
your
vote.
However.
I
do
support
council
member
Payne's
analysis
of
this,
because
I
for
many
years
have
been
raising
the
question
of
overtime
and
how,
in
particular,
how
it
is
allocated
and
who
does
the
allocation
and
what
is
our
level
of
responsibility
and
legal
analysis.
So
I
do
think
that
it
is
time
to
look
at
this
I
respect
the
way
that
council
member
Payne
has
handled
this,
but
I'm
not
going
to
undermine
the
one
time.
K
I
have
one
in
my
ward
and
they
can
finish
theirs
out.
While
we
do
this
study
and
they
have
been
instructed
by
the
mayor's
office
and
me
as
well
as
probably
other
council
members
that
have
spoken
to
some
of
these
folks-
that
once
we
have
a
new
policy
in
place,
they
will
be
expected
to
abide
by
it
and
so
I
appreciate
your
support.
I
also
appreciate
the
work
of
council
member
Payne.

Yeah,
thank
you

President
Jenkins
just
want
to
let
you
all
know:
I've
been
working
with
the
city
attorney
and
our
city
clerk
and
customer
truck
time,
along
with
customer
viton,
the
mayor's
office
on
bringing
forward
legislative
directive
on
the
first
public
health
and
safety
committee,
starting
in
2023
on
the
sub
minimum
wage
for
people
with
disabilities.
D
So
at
this
moment
our
current
minimum
wage
allows
people
with
certain
disabilities
to
be
paid
below
the
15
minimum
wage
that
we
have
and
basically
we're
working
on
legislative
directive
that
will
allow
us
to
hear
the
feedback
from
the
state
legislature.
They
have
a
report
coming
to
us
in
February
of
2023,
so
our
staff
will
be
able
to
present
on
that.
B
L
You,
madam
president,
in
the
theme
of
supporting
workers
this
week.
I
do
want
to
just
extend
an
invitation
to
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
public
to
join
Amazon
workers,
as
well
as
the
Minneapolis
Airport

a
solidarity
action,

going

be

four
o'clock

Basically,

Bezos.

you,

seeing
that
the
city
council
meeting
has
been
adjourned
I'm,
going
to
begin
the
mcda
operating
committee
meeting.
This
mcda
operating
committee
was
the
city's
development
agency
until
our
cped
department
was
established
in
2003.
It
still
exists
as
a
separate
legal
entity
for
certain
limited
purposes,
and
a
small
number
of
c-pad
items
actually
require
approval
by
the
mcda's
board
of
commissioner
Commissioners,
which
we
all
serve
as
in
addition
to
a
regular
Council
approval.
K
K
A
quorum
has
been
achieved
for
the
meeting
this
morning.
We
have
three
items,
including
the
adoption
of
the
agenda,
the
acceptance
of
the
minutes
from
the

of
December

2021,
as
well
as
item
number
four,
which
is
the
resolution
authorizing
the
finance
officer
to
approve
alternative
interest
rate
formulas
to
replace
Libor.
What
is
the
commission's
pleasure,
commissioner?
