A
C
A
President,
there
are
five
members
present.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
with
that.
The
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
The
first
item
we
have
on
our
agenda
is
the
appointment
of
the
fire
chief.
We
have
three
public
hearings
on
our
agenda
today.
The
first
is
considering
the
appointment
of
brian
tyner
for
the
position
of
fire
chief.
A
E
Okay,
hello,
everybody
I'm
here
today
my
son,
shantario
aquas
rodriguez
was
a
victim
of
gun
violence,
october
9
2017
in
little
earth
projects.
He
suffered
a
gunshot
wound
to
the
head
just
this
past
week.
He
walked
across
the
stage
and
graduated
high
school.
E
Since
this
has
happened,
I
have
been
been
wanting
to
change
the
gun
laws
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
I
think
it's
very
important
I
feel
like
if
there's
stricter,
gun
laws
that
maybe
it
wouldn't
be
happening
as
much.
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
the
suspects,
the
people
that
do
it.
They
just
get
a
slap
on
the
hand,
basically
the
people
that
the
person
that
shot
my
son
got
seven
years
and
it'll
be
five
years
this
year,
that
it
happened
and
he's
probably
out
already.
E
E
I
just
don't
think
it's
fair
that
a
child
has
to
go
through
through
what
my
son
experienced.
He
had
to
learn
to
walk
again,
just
so
many
different
things.
It's
been
a
lot
of
trauma
and
sorry
just
a
lot
for
our
family,
and
I
just
this
is
my
first
time
speaking
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
today
and
be
his
voice,
because
I've
been
as
an
advocate
ever
since
this
has
happened.
E
A
F
Overall,
notably,
he
has
pioneered
a
number
of
programs
throughout
his
time.
You've
all
heard
about
the
ems
pathways
program,
which
has
really
helped
enhance
diversity
within
the
fire
department
itself
during
his
career
he's
also
held,
I
think,
just
about
every
single
position
that
you
can
hold
under
the
in
the
fire
department,
which
I
think
speaks
to
the
true
breadth
of
his
experience
and
the
work.
F
Also,
knowing
what
firefighters
deal
with
on
a
daily
basis,
he's
prioritized
the
health
of
his
employees
and
thoughtfully
worked
to
provide
leadership,
opportunities
and
growth
opportunities
for
those
within
both
his
administration
and
within
the
department
broadly,
and
he's
also
worked
to
optimize
department
response
times,
which
requires
quite
a
bit
of
collaboration
with
between
the
stations
and
also
between
a
number
of
different
entities
within
city
government.
F
One
specific
example
here
of
chief
tyner's
work
is
his
early
adoption
of
some
some
new
technology
which
would
protect
both
firefighters,
as
well
as
their
families
from
the
carcinogenic
particulate
that
oftentimes
will
cling
to
uniforms
so
it'll
cling
to
uniforms
and
and
get
into
people's
skins
and
oftentimes
cause
cancer.
And
if
you
go
back
five
or
or
ten,
and
certainly
fifteen
and
twenty
years,
it
was
almost
a
style
that
you'd
keep
the
soot
on
the
equipment.
F
Well,
after
a
fire
took
place,
and
you
know,
the
whole
notion
was:
we've
been
through
a
lot
and
it's
almost
a
medal
of
honor
in
some
cases,
and
I
think
what
has
been
properly
recognized
is
the
that
honor
is
largely
displaced
when
it
caused
cancer,
and
so
chief
tyner
has
fostered
a
number
of
different
technological
improvements.
That
will
make
sure
that
our
extraordinary
firefighters
that
are
running
towards
a
burning
building
that
are
running
towards
danger
when
the
rest
of
us
would
shy
away
that
they
are
safe
themselves.
F
And
so
those
are
just
a
few
examples
of
the
extraordinary
leadership
that
we've
seen
from
chief
tyner
he's
an
excellent
chief
he's
a
truth.
Teller
he's
someone
that
that
I
trust
deeply
as
a
as
a
colleague
and
an
excellent
member
of
our
team
here
at
the
city
enterprise
and
for
those
reasons,
and
for
so
many
more,
it's
really
an
honor
to
nominate
chief
brian
tyner
to
serve
this
next
term
as
chief
of
the
fire
department,
and
I
know
chief,
that
you
will
continue
to
serve
with
excellence.
A
A
G
Thank
you
very
much
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
I'd
really
like
to
start
by
expressing
my
sincere
gratitude
for
this
nomination
and
the
confidence
that
the
council,
the
mayor,
the
public
and
my
team
has
shown
in
my
leadership
to
this
point
in
my
tenure
as
fire
chief
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
I
feel
extremely
blessed
and
honored
to
have
been
given
the
privilege
to
lead
and
serve
a
great
department
filled
with
talented
individuals
in
this
city.
G
The
reason
I
say
this
city
is
because
this
is
the
city
that
I
grew
up
in,
and
this
is
the
city
that
I
love,
if
approved,
for
the
upcoming
four-year
term.
I
pledge
to
each
of
you
to
continue
to
serve
the
city
and
lead
this
department
through
the
lens
of
my
personal
values,
which
are
honesty,
integrity
and
fairness.
G
G
So
while
I'm
up
here
I'll
stand
for
questions,
but
before
I
do
I'd
like
to
take
the
time
to
introduce
my
top
management
team.
G
And
I'll
just
go
across
here:
deputy
chief
of
administration,
michael
terry.
G
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
don't
have
any
questions
I
just
want
to
just
say:
I'm
I'm
really
honored
and
happy
to
support
you.
I
think
that
your
leadership
has
been
tremendous
here
and
not
just
your
role
as
fire
chief,
but
even
in
challenging
the
city
when
it
comes
to
black
history
month
and
when
it
comes
to
your
commitment
to
making
sure
that
everybody
in
our
city
feels
seen
and
that
everybody's
history
is
respected.
Everybody's
legacy
is
respected
here
in
minneapolis.
It's
it's
really
tremendous.
H
Your
your
energy
and
your
good
mood
is
infectious.
I
know
that
as
somebody
who
is,
you
know
often
feeling
a
little
bit
stressed
out.
I
know
that
everybody
in
the
enterprise
probably
feels
that
way
whenever,
whenever
I
run
into
you,
I
can't
help
but
but
leave
with
a
smile
on
my
face.
H
You've
got
a
really
great
energy
to
you,
and
I
know
that
you
bring
that
to
your
team,
and
so
you
know
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
at
least
from
the
sample
in
the
room
at
least
like
70
percent
of
your
department
appears
to
be
bald,
which
I
appreciate
you
know
and.
I
J
H
And-
and
I
just
can't
express
enough
how
much
I
I
appreciate
your
department
and
your
leadership
in
the
department,
so
thank
you
so
much
chief.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
chief.
I
will
be
voting
for
you.
I
think
you've
done
a
great
job,
your
knowledge
of
the
job,
your
experience
and
your
concern
for
your
your
staff,
as
you
showed
not
only
your
command
staff,
but
your
everyday
firefighters,
it's
so
important
to
support
your
workers,
and
you
do
that.
So
good
luck
as
we
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
D
D
I
didn't
know
you
that
well,
in
terms
of
being
you
know,
a
fire
professional,
I
just
knew
you
was
like
one
of
the
most
welcoming
people
in
city
hall
that
made
this
place
feel
like
a
great
place
to
work,
and
then
I
was
excited
when
you
got
appointed
to
chief,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
be
able
to
formally
vote
for
you
as
a
council
member.
So
looking
forward
to
it.
Thank.
L
Thank
you,
chair
vita
super
excited
to
support
this
as
well.
Chief
tyner.
If
you
was
not
a
firefighter,
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
stand-up
comedy
because
you
are
also.
L
I
remember
you
called
me
out
during
our
orientation
and
again
you
just
have
such
a
beautiful
energy
that
you
bring
into
the
space
and
very
grounding
and
a
reminder
of
you
know.
Your
program
is
one
of
well.
Your
department
is
one
of
the
best
examples
of
public
service
that
we
provide
to
our
residents
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
L
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
and
as
councilmember
ellison

and
making
sure
everyone
in
our

and
you're

the
hem
of
that
leadership.
So

L
A
You
councilmember
weinsley,
I'm
going
to
first
read
comments
from
council
vice
president
palmisano.
She
wasn't
able
to
make
it
today,
but
she
wanted
me
to
read
a
statement
for
her.
She
is
proud
to
support
the
nomination
for
you,
chief
tyner.
She
knows
that
she
says
I
know
chief
tyner
to
be
a
dedicated
public
servant
who
has
provided
exceptional
leadership
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
A
I
look
forward
to
our
continued
partnership
and
realizing
his
vision
for
safe,
responsive
and
an
equitable
city
that
was
council
vice
president
palmisano,
and
for
me
I
I'm
just
so
excited
this
is
like
a
full
circle
moment
in
my
life
I
was
in
my
office
and
I
cannot
believe
I'm
going
out
to
a
city
council
meeting
to
vote
on
brian
tyner
being
the
chief
of
the
fire
department.
This
is
just
such
a
wonderful
moment
for
me.
You
and
your
team.
You

this.
A
You
all
supported
my
niece
through
the
pathway
programs
dominique
vital
and
she
had
she
got
a
job
and
you
encouraged
her.
You
were
like
a
father
to
her
and
made
sure
that
she
completed
that
program
and
that
just
meant
so
much
to
my
family,

I
appreciate
that

I
see
you,
no
matter
where
it
is.
You
are
just
the
light
and
that's
a
good
and
a
bad
thing.
A
L
A
Your
attention
to
detail
in
our
wards,
specifically,
as
I
said,
I
asked
you-
we
had
a
fire
at
a
gas
station
and
the
chief
on
his
time
off
went
over
to
talk
to
the
people,
the
most
nice
conversation
in
the
world
with
these
people,
the
most
compassionate
person
you
know,
went
there
to
talk
to
them
and
ask
them
to
put
it
out,
and
I
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
I
thank
you
for
your
energy.
You
are
always
so
so
positive
every
time.
A
I
see

matter
what,
even
if
it's
I
remember
when
the
high
school
blew
up
on
my
block
in
south
minneapolis
and
you
were
just
a
ray
of
sunshine
out
there,
helping
family,
helping
people.
I
appreciate
you
so
much
and
I
I
can't
wait
till
the
full
council
meeting
to
vote
for
this
nomination.
Thank

management.

is
considering

appointment
of

lane
to

After

up.
A
The
clerk
has
not
provided
me

a

seeing

so
we're
going

this
item

to
our
next
meeting.
The
third
item
is
the
commission
on
civil
rights
appointments?
A
M
Thank
you
so
much
jere,
vita
and
council
members.
I
appreciate
you
having
us
here
today.
My
name
is
kayla
macanandiara
and
I'm
the
director
of
the
complaint
investigations
division
in
the
civil
rights
department
and
we
are
the
division
that
has
the
pleasure
of
providing
the
staff
support
to
the
civil
rights
commission.
M
Recent
projects
that
the
commission
has
worked
on
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
type
of
work
that
they
do.
They
collaborated
with
the
mayor's
office
to
establish
a
stop
the
gun
violence
day.
They've
also
done
work
around
equity
in
home
ownership,
given
awards
to
community
members
who
lead
in
civil
rights
areas
across
the
city,
and
then
they
also
assist
in
reviewing
appeals
of
discrimination
cases,
as
well
as
facilitating
public
hearings
regarding
discrimination,
cases
that
come
through
our
office.
M
Those
interviewed
included
staff
from
across
the
the
department,
as
well
as
we
invited
council
council
staff
and
the
mayor's
office
to
participate
as
they
were
able,
and
we
also
encouraged
and
allowed
four
current
commissioners
to
be
a
part
of
that
interview
process
as
well.
So
that's
just
a
little
background
on
the
process.
M
We're
really
excited
about
the
slate
of
candidates
that
we
have
to
propose
today.
It's
12
out
of
the
21
folks
on
the
commission.
So
this
is
a
pretty
big
group
of
folks
that
we're
hoping
can
get
appointed
here.
I'm
going
to
go
through
each
of
the
candidates
and
provide
just
a
brief
background.
I'll
also
provide
their
award,
as
well
as
the
proposed
seat
that
they
would
fill
on
the
commission,
and
then
we
do
have
a
couple
folks
that
are
here
that,
like
would
like
to
make
a
statement
regarding
their
candidacy.
M
So
when
I
get
to
them
on
the
list,
I'll
pause
ask
them
to
come
up
if
they'd
like
and
then
I'll
move
on
to
the
rest
of
the
folks
on
the
list.
Any
questions
before
I
get
into
who's
actually
on
the
list,
great
all
right.
So
first
we
have
mark
stagnanti,
he's
from
ward
11
and
has
proposed
to
fill
seat
one.
This
is
a
reappointment,
so
mr
sunyani
has
been
on
the
commission
for
about
a
year
and
a
half.
M
Now
he
is
a
licensed
attorney,
served
on
the
giving
committee
at
thompson
reuters
and
was
an
early
participant
in
books
for
africa,
he's
interested
in
serving
in
his
attorney
capacity
to
support
the
commission's
efforts
to
promote
and
protect
civil
rights.
Next
we
have
latonya
reeves
from
ward
7
and
proposed
to
fill
seat
five.
This
is
a
new
appointment.
M
M
Next,
we
have
ryan
peterson
from
ward
11
proposed
to
fill
seat
8..
This
is
an
attorney
seat.
Mr
peterson
is
a
licensed
attorney,
created
a
program
providing
debt
collection,
defense
and
conciliation
court
he's
passionate
about
tenant
rights
and
fair

A
A
N
N
That's
how
the
statute
reads,
and
that's
nuts,
and
someone
should
say
so
so
I'm
saying
it
to
ask
for
public
input
on
recommended
employ
appointees,
while
keeping
from
the
public
the
reasons
those
people
want
to
serve
on
the
commission
and
the
issues
they
feel
the
commission
should
address
is
wacky
and
when
some
government
practice
is
wacky,
it
would
help
if
elected
officials
would
point
that
out
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You
is
there
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
speak
on.
This
item
see
no
one
else
wishing
to
speak
on
this
item
I'll
now
close
the
public
hearing
I'll
give
the
floor
to
any
nominees
president
that
would
like
to
address
the
committee.
Please
just
step
forward
and
nominees.
If
you
want
to
speak
step
forward,
say
your
name.
O
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
latonya
reeves,
I'm
one
of
the
nominees
for
appointment.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
I've
been
working
in
many
of
us
for
a
long
time.
I've
born
and
raised
here
in
north
minneapolis.
I
have
a
lot
of
things
I
want
to
work
on.
There
are
some
things
that
need
to
happen
in
minneapolis
and
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
serving
on
this
commission.
Thank.
P
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
ryan
peterson.
I
have
been
a
resident
of
minneapolis
for
the
past
11
years
and
also
lived
in
the
city.
When
I
attended
the
university
of
minnesota,
I
love
this
city
and
I
believe
it's
a
privilege
to
live
here.
Unfortunately,
we
know
that
not
all
residents
share
in
the
privileges
of
living
here.
P
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
entertaining
my
nomination
and
appointment
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city,
the
city
staff,
for
their
rigorous
and
thoughtful
interview
process.
If
appointed
it's
my,
if
appointed,
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
city
staff
in
that
role.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
I
While
I've
only
lived
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
for
the
past
five
years
on
my
application
and
that's
a
great
question
that
the
gentleman
answered
or
brought
up
earlier
about
our
applications,
I
made
clear
and
brought
forward
about
my
background
and
my
experience.
I'm
a
native
of
arkansas
growing
up
in
central
arkansas.
One
thing
that
we
have
classically
and
I've
always
heard
about
and
have
been
taught
about,
is
what
happened
in
1957
at
little
rock
central
high
school.
While
I
did
not
attend
central
high
school,
I
played
basketball
against
them.
I
I'm
6'6
in
case
you
wanted
to
know
and
visiting
that
school
is
quite
moving.
It's
quite
a
moment
for
me,
and
that
is
something
that
has
always
carried
forward
with
me.
I
have
school
teacher
parents
in
public
schools
as
well
as
brother
and
sister-in-law,
who
continue
to
teach
in
arkansas
the
three
of
us.
It
was
instilled
in
us
to
have
a
sense
and
a
duty
of
responsibility
to
be
advocates
where
we
can
how
we
can
and
in
the
roles
in
which
we
serve
daily.
I
A
Well,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
on
the
civil
rights
on
the
commission
of
civil
rights
to
everyone
who
spoke
and
all
of
those
who
have
been
nominated.
Are
there
any
questions
from
committee
members,
council,
member
ellison.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
kind
of
your
your
exact
point,
which
is
that
you
know
you
guys
are
stepping
up
into
this
role
at
a
time
when
civil
rights
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
you
know
people
are
questioning,
you
know
how
much
are
we
serious
about
making
sure
that
we
are
enforcing
people's
civil
rights
and
giving
people
their
their
basic
dignity
here
you
know.
Certainly
this
council
is
committed.
H
You
all
are
stepping
into
this
into
this
role
and
showing
your
commitment
to
your
city,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
your
service,
some
of
you
I've
heard
of
some
of
you
I
haven't,

support
the
staff's
recommendation
and

all
are
stepping
up
to
serve
and
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
I'm
also
happy
to
move
approval
of
this
item
whenever
we
wrap
discussion
as
council.
So
thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
man,
I'm
sure
mr
bradford,
I'm
the
council
member
in
the
third
ward,
and
I
would
really
enjoy

you
for
a
coffee,
perhaps
some
weekends.
So

don't
interfere
with
your
work
and
I'll
just
hand
you
my
cards,

call
the
office
and

regarding

with
organizations

partnership,
development
fund,
orion,
fine
and
steve
gallagher
from
neighborhood
and
community
relations
will

process

Thank

Q
Hi
good
afternoon,
sir
vita
and
council
members,
this
is
an
exciting
day
for
y'all
there's
not
too
many
times.
I
hear
someone
getting
a
round
of
applause
for
being
an
appointed
official
and
brian
tyner
is
a
wonderful
individual,
and
so
we
are
here.
My
name
is
stephen
gallagher,
and
I
am
the
neighborhood's
program
manager
and
policy
specialist
with
neighborhood
and
community
relations.
Q
Q
We
were
asked
to
present
on
the
shared
resources
and
collaboration
fund
and
its
history
as
it's
relatively
new
for
many
council
members
about
three
years
ago,
the
department
set
out
to
redefine
redefine
its
its
relationship
with
neighborhoods
with
community-based
organization
and
residents,
and
find
a
funding
or
new
relationship
with
the
city
commonly
referred
to
as
neighbors
2020.
Q
Additionally,
the
partnership
fund
has
also
followed
the
minneapolis
comprehensive
plane
in
the
goals,
along
with
their
strategic
racial
equity
action
plan
goals
built
built
in
as
an
expected
outcome,
so
we're
able
to
manage
or
bring
together
a
lot
of
city
policies
in
the
development
of
this
of
this
fund.
Q
So
these
engagement
sessions
identified
issues
as
as
such,
such
as
recognizing
gaps
and
representation
between
our
engagement
partners,
a
need
to
solidify
cross
partnerships
and,
finally,
the
need
to
fund
these
partnerships
for
them
to
grow
and
organically,
come
together
for
a
better
engagement
process
within
within
the
city.
Q
Hence
resulted
in
the
in
the
partnership
engagement
program.
2021
was
the
first
pilot
year
of
this
program.
It
had
a
budget
of
210
000
in
2022
the
amount
increased
to
750
000
next
year.
It's
scheduled
to
go
up
to
a
million
dollars
in,
and
I
should
also
note
that
this
program
is,
unlike
any
others
in
the
in
the
country,
other
governmental
institutions,
entities,
municipalities
have
called
us
to
ask.
How
did
you
create
neighbors
2020?
Q
How
are
you
able
to
include
equity
in
in
your
focus
and
equity
lens
and
your
focus,
and
I
can
think
of
12
13
different
cities
that
have
asked
and
now
are
starting
to
copy
the
minneapolis
model.
So
I
think
is
it's
really
impressive
and
I
think
that's
something
that
we
don't
give
ourselves
enough.
Credit
for
in
the
city
were
actually
looked
at
as
leaders
around
the
country,
so
keep
in
mind
with
this,
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
introduce
aria,
fine,
neighborhood
support,
specialist
and
we'll
stand
for
questions
afterwards.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
R
Thank
you,
steve
chair
council
members.
My
name
is
arya
fine,
I'm
a
neighborhood
support
specialist
at
neighborhood
community
relations
department
here
at
the
city,
and
I
have
the
privilege
of
being
the
lead
on
the
partnership
engagement
fund.
So
as
steve
shared
I'm
going
to
share
just
a
little
bit
about
this
program,
it's
the
second
year
of
funding
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
just
really
briefly.
This
is
a
program
that
started
last
year
as
part
of
the
neighborhoods
2020
program.
We've
had
a
lot
of
interest
from
community-based
organizations.
R
R
We
were
able
to
fund
17
projects
in
seven
of
the
11
minneapolis
communities,
with
a
focus
on
equity.
As
you
can
see
in
the
list
here,
we've
had
focuses
in
youth
leadership,
economic
empowerment,
community
building
safety
infrastructure,
environmental
advocacy
and
community
health.
I'll
mention
the
photos
you
see
in
the
slideshow
are
from
some
of
our
2021
partners.
Last
year's
program
got
started
a
little
bit
later
in
the
year
than
this
one
is,
and
so
most
of
those
contracts
started
in
late
fall,
and
so
those
are
really
starting.
R
So
I
want
to
share
a
little
bit
about
the
this
year's
application
process
and
and
review
process.
As
this
is
a
new
program,
we
learned
a
lot
of
lessons
from
the
pilot
year
last
year
and
even
before
that,
as
steve
mentioned
as
part
of
several
years
of
engagement
with
community
members
and
city
staff,
about
what
does
this
next
phase
of
funding,
neighborhoods
and
communities
look
like
here
at
the
city.
So
we
focused
on
accessibility
for
communities
within
minneapolis
and
we
really
thought
about
intentionally
what
it
how
to
include
oral
immigrant
and
non-english
speaking
communities.
R
So
I'm
going
to
touch
on
just
a
couple
of
things
we
put
into
consideration
as
we
thought
about
our
application
process.
First,
we
made
sure
that
our
application
and
our
info
sessions
were
available
in
multiple
languages.
We
wanted
to
really
have
a
ability
for
organizations
doing
work
on
the
ground
in
a
language
other
than
english
to
be
able
to
follow
through
our
process
start
to
finish
in
their
own
language.
R
One
way
we
did,
that
is
by
having
an
initial
interest
form
if
you've
ever
applied
or
organization
that
applied
to
philanthropic
foundations.
We
have
letters
of
interest,
we
really
simplify
this.
We
allow
texting
or
just
a
phone
call
or
an
online
form
to
just
get
folks
on
our
radar.
It
allowed
us
to
be
proactive
in
inviting
them
out
to
some
of
our
info
sessions.
Our
events,
it
allowed
us
to
reach
out
to
them
to
explain
some
of
the
requirements
on
some
of
the
technical
details
and
to
help
them
navigate
if
needed.
R
R
One
of
the
things
we
found
through
that
interest
form
is
that
a
majority
of
a
large
number
of
community-based
organizations
don't
have
existing
relationships
with
our
neighborhood
network.
We
have
a
robust
neighborhood
network
throughout
minneapolis
70
neighborhood
organizations
that
have
been
funded
for
many
years,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
as
this
is
called
the
partnership
fund,
that
we
were
facilitating,
fostering
building
those
collaborative
connections
between
community-based
organizations
and
our
neighborhood
organizations.
R
This
allowed
a
supplement
for
folks
and
allowed
more
reviewers
that
might
not
see
just
reading
applications
as
their
songs
through,
but
to
be
able
to
have
that
supplement
of
a
video
to
see
the
work.
That's
being
done,
hear
about
the
work,
that's
being
done
and
then
be
able
to
meaningfully
evaluate
proposals.
R
We
were
also
able
to
do
that
in
language,
and
so
this
is
again
a
high
priority
to
identify
that
not
everybody
comes
with
english
as
their
first
language,
and
so
we
were
able
to
allow
that
as
a
process
in
language.
One
component
of
that
was
to
allow
folks
if
they
were
interested-
and
we
had
a
couple
this
year
and
a
couple
last
year
apply
completely
via
the
video
interview.
We
asked
all
the
questions
that
would
be
on
a
written
application.
R
We
were
then
able
to
translate
and
transcribe
that
into
a
full
written
application
again,
making
it
accessible
and
more
inclusive.
The
last
thing
about
that
is.
We
were
then
able
to
use
our
review
committee
process
to
also
be
in
language.
We
had
english
somali
spanish
and
among
committee
members,
so
that
they
could
evaluate
applications
that
were
in
language
or
impacted
their
specific
community,
again
prioritizing
accessibility
to
a
broader
range
of
our
residents.
R
I
was
already
speaking
to
this,
but
the
review
process
involved
22
reviewers
this
year,
five
city,
employees
and
17
community
members,
those
community
members,
as
I
mentioned,
consisted
of
various
ethnic
communities
also
ages
and
expertise.
They
did
a
community
review
process
that
then
went
to
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
staff
who
did
a
final
review
and
recommendation.
Obviously
we
have
city
requirements
and
you
know
sort
of
on
the
legal
and
financial
side
that
need
to
be
considered,
and
so
we
are
putting
forward
today
from
ncr
our
recommendations.
R
So
today
we're
recommending
31
applications
from
the
pool
that
apply
this
year.
These
projects
are
in
every
community
in
minneapolis.
They
applicants
have
identified
language
abilities
in
10,
different
languages,
so
doing
work
in
in
different
cultural
communities.
Those
projects
focus
on
on
a
broad
kind
of
level,
youth,
empowerment
healing
and
addressing
trauma,
civic
engagement,
community
building,
creative
community-led
spaces
and
a
variety
of
others,
but
those
are
kind
of
the
big
picture
ones
and
we're
really
proud
of
this
process.
R
We
really
see
it
as
something
that
was
developed
by
community
led
by
community,
and
it
is
again
centering
community.
This
is
a
lot
to
read,
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
on
the
list.
This
is
the
31
applications
organizations
that
are
applying
in
your
rca
documents
that
you
have
before
you
is
more
details
about
the
funding,
requests,
the
organizations
and
the
specific
projects,
and
so
with
that.
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
your
time.
R
A
L
Member
weinsley,
thank
you,
chair
vita.
This
is
more
so
just
a
shout
out
to
one
of
the
organizations.
That's
on
the
list
do
nora
foundation.
While
it's
nyam
award,
it's
pretty
adjacent
to.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
do
a
tour
of
their
food
distribution
center
a
couple
months
ago,
so
really
excited
to
see
this
be
supported.
Also,
dunord
was
a
really
key
partner.
L
During
the
uprising
where
myself,
I
was
involved
in
a
lot
of
the
mutual
aid
work
that
was
happening
around
the
third
precinct
and
they
were
such
a
key
partner
in
helping
us
get
food
supplies
out
to
residents
during
the
times
when
stores
were
not
accessible
and
for
them
still,
two
years
later,
continuing
their
work
for
showing
up.
L
K
R
So
they
are
also
the
cedar
riverside
athletic
program.
Okay,
I
think
the
names
are
a
little
bit
interchangeable.
I
think
that
be
that
neighbor
is
the
text,
the
name
of
their
textbook.
K
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
commend
you
for
making
this
such
an
accessible
process.
That
was
one
of
our
questions.
A
couple
weeks
ago,
I
was
like
what
did
that
process
look
like
and
to
see
the
links
that
you
made
it
accessible
and
you
know
being
able
to
text
or
send
a
video
instead
of
having
to
write.
I
think
that
was
a
very
innovative
approach
to
this,
so
that
that
makes
me
very
happy
so
really
glad
to
see
that.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
also
for
the
community
partnerships
that
you've
been
working
at
and
thank
you
both
so
much
seeing
no
further
discussion,
I'll
move
for
approval
of
this
item,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
I
I,
those
opposed
that
carries,
and
this
item
is
approved
and
will
be
forwarded
to
next
week's
council
meeting
for
final
action.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
S
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
good
afternoon
council,
thank
you
for
having
us.
This
will
be
a
presentation
with
an
evidence-based
evaluation
of
the
minneapolis
violence
interrupter
model.
We
are
joined
by
the
head
of
our
epidemiology
team
from
the
health
department,
who
is
plugging
in
the
presentation
and
while
she's
doing
that.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
council
and
acknowledge
that
this
will
likely
be
my
last
time
before
you.
S
As
you
all
know,
I
am
leaving
my
post
here
at
the
city
to
take
a
position
with
john
jay
college
in
new
york
city
as
the
deputy
director
of
the
national
network
for
safe
communities.
So
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
the
continued
support
of
those
of
you
who
have
been
very
supportive
and
look
forward
to
continued
partnership
with
the
city
as
a
technical
assistance
provider
on
the
group,
violence,
intervention
strategy
and
hope
that
our
relationships
continue
to
flourish.
S
S
Alrighty,
so
let's
get
started
with
the
first
slide,
I'll,
be
doing
a
high
level
overview
of
the
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
model,
and
then
I
will
turn
it
over
to
luisa
to
talk
about
evaluation,
so
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
This
is
a
high-level
slide
of
that
work.
Is
an
office
focused
on
a
public
health
approach
to
violence,
prevention
and
keeping
community
members
safe?
S
We
work
to
prevent
violence
and
support
those
impacted
by
violence
and
to
help
individuals
and
communities
heal
from
violence.
I
think
that's
a
very
important
and
key
component
that
sometimes
gets
overlooked,
and
we
do
that
through
three
primary
approaches.
Those
are
our
evidence-informed
strategies,
one
of
which
you'll
hear
about
today,
our
capacity
building
and
innovation
portfolio.
S
We
really
believe
in
that
work
and
much
like
our
partners
in
ncr
believe
in
the
brilliance
of
minneapolis
and
it's
through
our
innovation
and
capacity
building,
work
that
we're
able
to
fund
homegrown
ideas
and
then,
lastly,
our
roots
are
in
youth,
violence
prevention.
As
many
of
you
know,
our
work
started
with
the
blueprint
for
action
to
prevent
youth
violence,
which
was
a
plan
focused
on
reducing
youth,
homicides
and
gun
violence,
and
so
we
continue
to
maintain
work
in
that
arena.
S
S
Their
focus
is
on
preventing
shootings
by
identifying
and
mediating
potentially
lethal
conflicts
and,
following
up
to
ensure
that
conflicts
do
not
reignite.
So
again,
the
focus
is
de-escalation
through
relationships
and
being
able
to
compel
people
to
change
their
behavior
that
might
lead
to
shootings
or
other
violence.
S
S
A
public
health
approach
looks
at
multiple
layers
of
involvement
and
being
able
to
engage
not
only
at
the
individual
level,
with
the
people
that
we
serve,
but
really
changing.
The
community's
value
system
and
beliefs
about
violence
is
an
important
long-term
goal,
so
our
local
iteration
coordinates
a
public
health
driven
strategy
that
treats
violence
like
a
contagion,
as
many
of
us
have
learned
through
covid,
violence
can
be
prevented.
S
We
rely
on
the
influence
and
relationships
held
by
credible
messengers,
many
of
whom
you
see
in
the
room.
These
are
folks
who
are
working
on
the
ground
almost
every
day
in
the
communities
that
you
all
represent,
and
across
minneapolis
to
build
relationships
with
people
who
are
high
risk
for
becoming
a
victim
or
a
perpetrator
of
gun,
violence,
people
who
have
perhaps
been
a
perpetrator
or
a
victim
of
gun.
S
Violence
in
the
past,
because
we
know
that
violence
begets
violence
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
every
iteration
that
we
can
to
prevent
the
next
shooting.
We
recognize
that
when
something
bad
happens,
law
enforcement
needs
to
step
in
our
goal
is
to
do
that.
Work
before
the
bad
thing
happens
to
de-escalate
the
conflict.
Before
the
bad
thing
happens,
we
again
draw
inspiration
from
evidence,
forms
models
such
as
care
violence
and
in
2021.
S
S
So
violence
interrupters
it's
important
to
give
a
better
understanding
of
what
violence
interrupters
do
and
what
they
don't
do.
Violence
interrupters
do
detect
potentially
violent
situations
via
their
outreach
in
specific
parts
of
the
city.
They
provide
support
and
resources
to
people
who
are
victims
of
violence
or
involved
or
at
high
risk
for
being
involved
with
violence,
and
they
use
informal
mediation,
non-physical
conflict
resolution
and
violence,
interruption
tactics
that
they've
been
trained
in
to
cool
down
violence.
They
mobilize
community
to
reject
violent
norms.
S
Violence
interrupters
do
not
carry
firearms,
they
do
not
provide
any
law
enforcement
function.
I
think
that
historically,
because
we're
still
learning
these
new
systems
of
public
safety,
there
can
be
a
bit
of
conflation
that
we
think
violence.
Interrupters
are
here
to
replace
police
or
to
do
the
work
of
police.
That
is
not
their
function.
They
are
not
responders.
S
They
are
here
to
prevent
violence
from
happening
and
intervene
at
its
onset.
They
also
do
not
respond
for
service,
so
they
are
not
911
or
311
deployable.
Again,
that's
an
important
note
to
make
because
I
think
sometimes
people
believe
that
they
can
call
and
make
that
kind
of
a
request
through
9-1-1.
S
I
know,
there's
even
been
some
confusion
as
we're
building
out
the
model,
with
our
officers
around
how
to
request
the
services
of
interrupters
interrupters
work
in
specific
geographic
neighborhoods,
as
they're
listed
on
the
side
of
the
screen
and
they're
building
relationships
and
deploying
to
the
areas
based
on
the
community's
needs
and
based
on
information
around
hot
spots
for
gun
violence.
So
they're
not
deploying
based
on
a
9-1-1
call
like
an
emergency
responder,
you
could
think
of
them
as
secondary
responders.
B
Thank
you
sasha.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair
vice
chair
council
members.
So,
as
director
cotton
mentioned,
minneapolis
is
based
on
cure
violence,
which
is
an
evidence-based
violence.
Prevention
model,
evaluation
of
violence
reduction
associated
with
cure
violence
has
been
done,
however,
usually
not
until
two
to
three
years
into
the
implementation
of
that
program.
B
So
the
reason
I'm
saying
that
is
because
the
data
that
we're
present
that
I'm
presenting
here
today
is
not
going
to
look
at
shooting
decree
shootings
decreases
or
violent
crime
decreases,
but
to
look
at
changes
that
we
expect
to
see
throughout
the
program.
B
So
as
part
of
our
planning,
we
have
continued
to
better
define
our
intervention.
What
the
goals
and
objectives
of
the
program
are
to
create
a
logic
model
and
a
theory
of
change
model
for
the
program
and
to
conduct
data
collection,
to
highlight
what
improvements
are
needed.
What
achievements
have
been
accomplished
and
to
use
that
data
to
exchange,
to
expand
our
theory
of
change,
and
so
this
progress
report
that
we're
reporting
on
is
just
a
an
initial
piece.
A
first
step
in
that
evaluated,
evaluative
process.
B
This
is
the
theory
of
change
model
and
is
just
to
just
is
specific
to
the
outreach
work
of
the
violence.
Interrupters.
Not,
it
does
not
include
other
buckets
of
work
that
comprise
minneapolis
such
broader
community,
like
broader
community
engagement
activities
and
restoration
activities.
B
What
this
model
shows
is
that
we
expect
that,
by
having
ongoing
presence
of
violence
interrupters
in
engagement
with
community
members,
that
this
will
lead
to
increased
levels
of
trust,
increased
use
of
resources
and
services
opportunities
for
de-escalation,
and
that
will
continue
to
lead
to
the
eventually
decreases
in
violence.
B
So
now
we
come
to
the
pro
report
planning
process
and
in
terms
of
thinking
of
what
is
it
that
we
need
to
know?
What
is
it
that
we
want
to
know?
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
very
clear
in
what
the
goals
of
this
progress
report
were,
that
the
questions
we
were
asking
actually
got
us
the
information
that
we
were
looking
for,
and
so
we
had
a
an
iterative
process
of
developing
the
report
that
included
the
ovp
staff,
our
evaluation
staff
and
then
provided.
B
B
So
the
progress
report
looked
at
the
first
six
months
of
implementation.
We
were
looking
for
what
were
some
key
activities
in
short-term
outcomes
from
the
first
six
months.
What
were
some
highlights
that
the
teams
the
organizations
had
seen
and
what
were
some
opportunities
and
challenges
that
they
had
also
observed
in
the
first
six
months
of
implementation
and
the
data
collection,
looked
at
the
implementation
period
between
may
15th
and
december
31st
of
2021,
and
there
were
questions
both
quantitative
and
qualitative
so
that
we
could
get
the
story,
not
just
the
numbers.
B
B
So
we
just
ask
that
the
organizations
speak
with
the
the
submit
one
single
report
per
organization
that
they
discuss
the
questions
with
their
violence,
interrupter
teams
and
then
summarize
the
data
in
a
single
report.
So
there
was
a
survey
tool
that
was
distributed
and
then
all
seven
organizations
completed
it
in
early
2022..
B
So
now
to
get
at
some
of
the
data
we
currently
had.
The
seven
organizations
had
151
violence,
interrupters
working
that
were
dedicated
to
the
minneapolis
outreach
initiative.
These
were
individuals
that
spoke
multiple
languages
that
came
from
different,
diverse
communities
and
were
working
in
diverse
communities.
B
B
As
a
way
to
track
in
the
reach
and
activities
associated
with
minneapolis,
we
asked
organizations
to
report
on
contacts
and
mediations.
These
are
two
of
the
strategies
used
and
a
contact
is
defined
as
engagement
with
individuals
at
high
risk
of
being
a
victim
or
perpetrator
of
violence,
and
in
that
context
you
might
exchange
some
information.
You
might
provide
some
services,
you
might
provide
a
referral
about
for
some
some
service
that
is
needed
in
terms
of
contacts
organizations
reported
over
8
900
contacts,
and
these
are
not
contacts
with
unique
individuals.
B
They
continue
to
work
to
increase,
support
and
trust
with
the
community,
which
is
one
way
to
do
the
to
you
know
it's
very
important
in
terms
of
doing
this
work
using
relationships
to
refer
individuals
at
risk
of
violence,
to
treatment
and
engaging
and
connecting
minneapolis
youth
to
caring
adults,
in
addition,
also
securing
jobs
for
those
individuals
at
risk
of
violence.
We
know
that
employment
is
a
protective
factor
in
terms
of
people
not
engaging
in
violence.
B
So
here
are
some
examples
of
those
accomplishments
connecting
individuals
to
opportunities
to
develop
skills
that
allow
for
new
opportunities
is
a
protective
factor
against
violence.
In
this
case,
we
push
for
peace
was
able
to
place
149
people
into
their
commercial
divers
license
program
which
allows
those
individuals
to
get
that
that
training
and
then
pursue
opportunities.
B
We
also
asked
the
organizations
to
tell
us
what
they
have
been
hearing
from
the
community
on
the
field,
about
both
the
organization
itself
and
the
minneapolis
initiative
as
a
whole,
and
so
some
of
the
feedback
was
that
the
community
is
appreciative
of
the
organization's
presence,
the
consistency,
the
visibility
having
familiar
faces,
doing
the
work
that
that
presence
provides
a
sense
of
safety
and
strong
in
that
violence.
Interrupters
have
been
able
to
develop
strong
partnerships
with
businesses.
B
Some
of
the
areas
in
which
there's
improvement
is
still
needed
needing
to
clarify
who
and
what
is
the
minneapolis
collective?
What
is
what
it
is
that
it
does
and
who
exactly?
It
is
as
well
as
relationship
to
law
enforcement,
and
we
need
to
continue
the
work
so
that
that
trust
with
community
continues
to
build
some
challenges
that
were
identified
by
the
organizations
and
by
the
violence.
Interrupters
was
a
lack
of
safe
physical
locations
for
doing
their
work,
so
this
is
outreach.
People
are
out
in
the
field,
but
at
times
it's
important.
B
You
know
if
you're
de-escalating,
if
you
need
to
separate
or
relocate
someone,
where
do
you
take
them?
Where
is
there
a
safe
place
to
have
that
conversation
or
to
provide
a
service
so
that
being
one
of
the
challenges,
as
well
as
myths
about
who
minneapolis-
and
this
goes
back
to
you-
know-
defining
what
is
the
minneapolis
initiative,
so
the
team
being
seen
as
an
extension
of
law
enforcement
or
being
thought
of
as
snitches
as
well?
You
know,
building
trust
is
an
intensive
process.
B
We
need
it
requires
consistency
and
we
need
to
continue
having
folks
out
there.
We
also
asked
about
gaps
that
were
that
were
still
apparent,
as
the
work
was
being
done,
and
so
here
are
some.
Both
there
were
some
both
some
resource
gaps
and
programmatic
gaps
that
were
identified
so
more
real-time
resources
in
terms
of
emergency
response,
emergency
resources,
sustained
funding
for
personnel.
So
that
we're
not
always
you
know
thinking.
B
So
this
is
just
our
first
progress
report.
There
is
there
are
many
next
steps
to
our
evaluation
and
we
will
continue
so
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
an
overview,
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
exploratory
research,
to
expand
our
theory
of
change,
to
include
the
broader
community
engagement
activities,
as
well
as
some
of
the
restoration
activities.
B
B
How
the
does
this
model
support
that?
How
can
we
hear
directly
from
those
that
are
engaging
in
the
program,
so
the
participants?
How
can
we
get
some
information
from
them,
as
well
as
from
the
communities
where
the
work
is
being
done
and
then
just
looking
to
ways
to
streamline
data
collection
so
that
it's
not
a
burden
on
the
organizations
doing
the
work,
as
well
as
increasing
the
frequency
and
really
continuing
to
look
for
how
we're
going
to
do
this
long-term
evaluation.
B
These
are
just
some
references
for
our
work
and
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
minneapolis
us.
Violence,
interrupters
and
team
leads
for
all
the
work
that
they're
doing
the
ovp
staff
for
their
work
and
support,
and
then
my
research
and
evaluation
staff,
especially
my
colleague
angela
oaks,
who
could
not
be
here
today,
but
who
is
the
lead
evaluator
on
this
project?
S
Thank
you,
luisa,
for
that
overview
of
our
six-month
evaluation
plan.
At
this
time
we
do
have
violence
interrupters
here
who
would
like
to
offer
some
insights
about
their
work?
I
will
ask
them
to
come
up
one
at
a
time.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
wants
to
volunteer
to
go
first.
Miss
connie
rhodes
appears
to
be
volunteering
to
go
first
from
restoration.
A
Madam
chair
vita,
and
thank
you
all
who
serve
on
this
committee
for
this
opportunity.
Thank
you,
director,
sasha
cotton,
the
office
of
violence
prevention
for
this
amazing
opportunity
to
serve
our
community.
For
me,
this
work
is
more
than
a
job.
It's
been
my
life's
work
for
the
past
25
years,
faith,
prayer,
passion,
my
lived
experience,
the
lived
experience
of
our
credible
messengers,
our
violence,
interrupters
our
case
managers
and
the
trauma
work
that
we've
done
as
an
organization.
A
A
Having
worked
that
next
step
with
farger
shahir
working
with
gunshot
wound
victims
like
we
danielle
just
spoke
spoke
about
really
makes
me
make
me
wanted
to
made
me
want
to
do
more,
so
this
opportunity
came
along
and
we
were
chosen
to
do
it,
and
so
we're
really
happy.
This
particular
picture
is
our
our
team
right
here
with
rain
or
shine
we
out
there,
and
so
we
always
say
we
out
here
we
out
here,
and
I
want
to
talk
about
our
experience
for
many
of
our
of
our
violence
interrupters.
A
They
were
once
out
in
the
streets
doing
some
of
the
things
that
our
young
people
are
doing,
turned
their
lives
around
and
are
now
reaching
back
for
them,
and
so
what
we've
seen
is
building
that
trust
using
the
cure.
Violence
model
way
has
really
been
transformative
to
the
young
people,
who
were
once
shooters.
A
For
example,
we
have
a
young
man.
Just
this
just
happened
the
other
day
he
was
getting
ready
to
shoot.
He
had
two
guns,
two
guns,
not
one
two
and
he
was
getting
ready
to
shoot
another
young
man
over
a
dispute
and
our
violence
interrupters
stepped
in
right
there.
They
could
have
ran
because
hey
he,
he
raided
he
ready
to
pop
okay
and
they
talked
him
down.
They
were
able
to
de-escalate
him
and
able
to
get
him
and
what
we
found
out
when
we
talk
to
him
further,
because
we
don't
just
push
him
aside.
A
We
say
you
know,
let's
talk,
let's
find
out.
Why?
Because
there's
always
a
reason
why
he
lost
three
brothers
on
broadway
to
gun
violence,
and
so
he
said
I
don't
even
care,
no
more
ma'am,
I
don't
even
care,
but
we
were
able
to
get
him
to
say.
Well,
let
us
talk
to
you,
so
we
do
part
of
the
cure
violence
about.
I
know
I
have
a
long
time
so
proud
of
the
cure.
Violence
model
is
to
do
participant
to
get
the
participants
to
enroll
in
programs
and
get
them
to
show
them
a
different
way.
A
So
he
is,
he
signed
up
and
so
we're
like
wow.
You
know
what
I
mean
and
so
that
really
hit
home
for
me,
as
I
was
sitting
there
that
I
want
you
all
to
know
that,
even
though
the
numbers
may
be
a
certain
number
because
of
the
violence
interrupters
in
this
room
and
the
case
managers
in
this
room,
the
outreach
workers
that
number
would
be
higher.
A
So
I
want
you
to
know
because
on
the
street
this
is
happening
all
the
time
and
on
lorry
and
logan,
where
we
we
have
really
developed
a
strong
rapport,
we've
seen
a
decrease
in
the
gun
violence.
I
had
one
of
my
guys
kind
of
tech,
savvy
kind
of
look
at
the
numbers
and
see
where
they
are.
I
know
they're
not
like
epidemiology
numbers,
but
but
also
we've
noticed
that
four
of
those
young
men
now
have
jobs.
A
They
were
out
there
every
day,
so
now
they
can't
be
out
there
every
day
because
they
have
jobs.
So
you
know
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
thank
you
for
the
public
safety,
just
doing
the
extra
work
going
beyond
above
and
beyond,
and
thank
you
for
the
resources
to
hire
these
credible
messengers
so
that
we're
on
the
street.
A
T
I
just
like
to
go
back
to
when
I
first
started
doing
this
work
as
a
violence
interrupter
where
we
started
with
you,
know
a
very,
very
small
budget,
and
not
so
large
of
a
team
to
like
many
many
people.
I
spoke
up
here
at
this
mic
where
you
know
I
get
emotional
about
this
because
you
know
it's
personal
for
me
doing
this
work.
I
lost
a
lot
of
family
members
and
best
friend
of
gun
violence,
so
I
take
it
very
serious
and
I'm
passionate
about
it.
T
So
when
I
started
this
work,
we
were
out
on
out
on
the
street
six
days
a
week,
sometimes
out
there
seven
days
a
week
with
no
shelter,
no
type
of
indoor
to
do
any
programming
or
anything
so
we're
out
there
on
the
streets.
You
know
some
of
the
same
team,
that's
out
here,
two
years
from
two
years,
two
years
right,
almost
two
years.
T
So
what
I
want
to
speak
about
is
the
importance
and
of
partnership
and
just
having
people
from
the
outside
supporting
the
workers
as
well
the
city
of
minneapolis.
We
started
with
nothing
right
now.
Today,
I
can
say
I've
partnership
with
many
different
organizations,
minneapolis
public
school
board,
hennepin
county,
even
ramsey
county
and
different
small
private
organizations.
T
That
work
has
been
the
work
that
my
team
and
I
have
been
doing,
has
been
tremendous
and
having
a
great
impact.
Some
of
these
numbers
are
way
off.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
work
we
do
are
done
in
the
dark.
There's,
not
a
lot
of
light
that
gets
shared
on
some
of
the
work
that
we
do
do
and
it's
beyond
just
being
a
violence.
Interrupter!
It's
about!
Educating
our
youth.
T
You
know
it's
a
lot
of
lack
of
in
the
communities
right
now,
a
lot
of
lack
of
leadership,
a
lot
of
lack
of
education,
so
these
teams,
my
team
back
here
and
these
other
violence
interrupters.
Well,
we
are
in
the
community.
We
are
hope.
Yes,
you
know
we're
our
mentors,
we're
our
big
brothers
we're
our
big
sisters.
T
T
You
know
our
work
needs
to
be
supported.
T
She's.
You
know
responsible
for
engaging
a
lot
of
young
women
out
there.
A
lot
of
the
young
women
that's
been
giving
me
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
challenges
and
she's
been.
You
know
a
great
deal
of
help.
For
that
reason,
you
know
I
like
to
you
know,
invite
her
up
here,
so
she
can
share
a
few
few
words,
but
you
know
I
really
really
like
for
you
guys
to
you
know
just
come
out
there,
invite
you
guys
to
come
and
see
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
out
there.
T
You
know
right
now
today,
like
I
said
the
work
have
evolved
and
have
grown
so
much.
I
have
my
own
resource
center
now
on
lake
street
2020
2222
east
lake
street,
so
you
guys
are
welcome
to
come
by
and
see
some
of
the
work
that
we
do
there.
You
know
I
got
a
contract
with
the
minneapolis
public
schools.
As
I
mentioned,
I
got
kids
in
there
on
the
daily.
T
You
know,
and
they
tell
me
how
important
the
work
is
that
we're
doing
and
how
much
is
needed
and
then
what
they
tell
me
is
is.
Finally
somebody
is
doing
something
you
know
and
hearing
that
from
them,
kids
are
just
it
just
it
just
hurts
my
heart,
you
know
and
I'm
glad
to
be
able
to
be
one
of
those
individuals
to
give
them
some
hope.
That's
why
touch
outreach
stands
for
teaching
our
urban
communities?
Hope
that's
what
that
stands
for.
You
know,
because
sometimes
it's
just
about
a
physical
touch.
T
You
know
sit
down
and
have
a
conversation
with
some
of
these
young
men
they're,
not
just
gang
members
they're,
not
just
young
thugs,
they're
human,
sometimes
you
just
got
to
give
them,
give
them
an
ear.
Let
them
talk
and
you'll
find
out
a
lot
from
them.
You
know
so
I'm
just.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity.
I
appreciate
you
know
all
the
work
that
you
guys
do
you
know
I
just
appreciate
being
here.
I
will
let
yolanda
say
a
few
words.
Thank
you.
J
Yolanda
royster,
thank
you
to
everyone
to
the
chair
and
to
the
council
members
and
to
sasha
cotton
and
ovp
everyone
on
our
teams.
We,
we
thank
the
city
for
the
opportunity
to
actually
be
out
in
the
streets.
A
lot
of
people
don't
want
to
be
in
the
streets.
They
don't
want
to
be
the
train
station
where
people
are
shooting
up
drugs
where
people
are
are
pulling
out
knives
over.
J
I
believe
that
the
youth
they
they
are
our
future,
and
so,
if
we
can
get
them
to
change
their
thought
process
now,
because
they'll
be
here
in
10
or
15
years,
and
we
need
to
depend
on
them
to
train
their
offspring
in
the
correct
way.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
on
the
teams
are
either
ex-gang
members
or
you
know
some
drug
dealers.
J
What
you
read
in
your
textbook
is
totally
different
than
your
life
experience,
and
experience
is
the
best
teacher.
We're
told
this
every
day
by
participants
that
the
relationships
that
we've
built
with
them
have
made
them
think
twice
about
committing
acts
of
violence.
But
again
it's
easier
said
than
done.
You
can't
just
pop
up
in
the
community
and
you
have
no
idea
what
the
beef
is
between.
J
You
know:
gang
members
on
opposing
sides,
or
even
just
different
blocks,
excuse
me
and
just
expect
them
to
listen
to
you
when
you
have
no
credibility
and
again
when
you've
been
through
situations
in
life,
you
can
relate
to
those
people
that
have
and
try
to
get
them
to
see
that
there's
a
better
way,
we're
walking
examples
of
it.
You
know
everyone
on
these
teams.
J
We
all
have
families
but
we're
out
there
as
often
as
we
can
be,
because
we
want
to
be
because
we
understand
that
the
community
is
our
family
as
well,
and
we
have
to
start
from
the
outside
in,
and
you
know,
I
don't
know
all
the
politics
of
it
all,
but
I
just
know
that
we
need
to
be
out
there,
because
the
relationships
that
we've
built
are
important
and
we
have
stopped
a
lot
of
murders,
a
lot
of
shootings
and
stabbings
that
would
have
happened.
Had
we
not
been
out
there
so
yeah.
J
S
I
know
we're
short
on
time.
We
have
a
few
more
team
leads.
I
also
want
to
highlight
that
miss
connie
rhodes
works
a
float
team
that
covers
both
north
and
parts
of
downtown
and
muhammad
abdullah
will
touch.
Outreach
covers
downtown
and
lake
street.
I'd
like
to
ask
metro
youth
diversion
to
come
to
the
mic.
Please.
C
C
It's
a
great
pleasure
to
be
here
to
represent
metro
youth,
metro,
youth,
metro,
youth
mission
is
to
create
partnership
with
with
youth,
their
family,
youth
service
providers,
community
stakeholders
for
the
advancement
and
the
well-being
of
our
youth
with
community
and
stakeholder
input.
We
have
developed
an
incorporated
concept
of
community
partnership,
the
application
of
science-based
knowledge,
science
based
knowledge
of
substance,
abuse
reduction
and
the
development
of
outcome,
driven
prevention
strategy
to
address
the
increased,
the
increasing
trend
of
substance,
abuse
and
opioid
use
among
our
youth.
C
Our
philosophy
is
to
provide
safe
and
supportive
structured
environment
that
promotes
the
importance
of
person-centered
thinking
and
individual
growth.
We
believe
the
effects
of
opioid
abuse
has
led
to
the
increased
crime
and
violence
in
our
cities
in
our
neighborhoods,
the
multifocal
approach,
the
multifocal
and
holistic
approach
addresses
the
opioid
use
and
violence
issues
that
our
youth,
their
families
and
our
community
as
a
whole
has
are
facing.
Over
the
past
year.
It
has
been
pleasure
to
work
with
director
cotton
and
her
wonderful
team
to
introduce
the
minneapolis
initiative
to
our
communities.
C
Additionally,
metro
youth
has
collaborated
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
health
department
to
incorporate
opioid
prevention
program
and
naloxone
training
and
distribution
into
our
minneapolis
initiative
strategy.
The
combinations
the
combination
of
these
programs
has
already
proven
to
be
effective
in
our
community.
On
several
occasions,
our
team
members
has
witnessed,
or
have
witnessed,
opioid
overdose
incidents
and
were
able
to
administer
narcans
to
revive
our
community
members.
C
C
I
I
do
once
again
want
to
thank
sasha
and
her
wonderful
team
bringing
this
this
minneapolis
violence,
interruption,
initiative
to
our
city
and
our
to
our
neighborhoods.
Thank
you.
S
U
Mr
vito,
oh
it's
right
there,
my
partner,
just
you
know,
I
contemplated
what
I
wanted
to
say
when
I
came
up
here
as
it
pertains
to
why
it's
so
important
for
these
teams
to
be
able
to
continue
to
do
this
work.
U
U
In
the
lower
harvest
areas
of
minneapolis,
we
talk
about
how
they
have
or
how
we
have
been
impacted
due
to
the
lack
of
economics
right.
So
the
first
thing
is
understand.
This
funding
allows
these
organizations
to
hire
men
and
women
that
live
in
those
communities
in
those
very
communities
in
which
we
are
trying
to
not
be
the
but
to
be
a
part
of
it
right.
U
One
of
the
things
I
sought
out
to
do
when
I
started
my
organization
was
to
be
a
voice
for
the
individuals
that
don't
have
a
voice.
I
just
got
back
from
washington
dc
two
weeks
ago.
I
got
sequestered
to
come,
speak
at
the
on
the
hill
as
it
pertains
to
what
we
see
every
day
in
our
young
men
and
women
that
we
serve
and
that's
mental
health
instabilities
right.
U
U
See
we
don't
talk
about
half
the
things
that
we
encounter
when
we
out
there
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
We
don't
even
talk
about
half
of
it.
We
don't
even
share
half
the
information,
see
councilmember
mr
ellison.
He
knows
firsthand
been
out
there
in
the
trenches
with
us
talking
to
those
young
men
with
his
great
dane,
and
you
know
all
that,
so
he
kind
of
get
a
first
hand.
So
the
first
thing
I
encourage
you
guys
to
do
is.
U
That's
what
it
does,
I'm
at
1300
lagoon
at
xavier's
employment
and
training
center,
where
we
do
so
many
other
things
outside
of
trying
to
have
a
presence
in
the
community,
because
it
is
two
different
things.
Intravenous
is
after
something
already
has
happened,
one
of
the
things
we
don't
talk
about.
We
helped
them
37,
funerals
that
we
did
and
we
was
a
part
of
we
helped
finance.
U
U
U
Well,
that's
what
I
thought
he's
been
in
the
truck
now
for
a
year
and
a
half,
he
got
four
other
trucks
and
he
has
hired
four
other
men
that
came
through
the
same
program
he
came
through
and
that's
how
and
that's
why
it's
so
important
for
us
to
be
out
there
see
we're
not
out
there
saying,
don't,
sell
the
drugs.
Don't
do
this,
don't
do
it!
No!
We
out
there
saying
hey.
U
U
Right
get
to
know
some
of
these
organizations.
Man
because,
like
I
said
man,
this
this
work
is
not
easy.
It's
not
easy.
I
got
a
couple
of
team
members
that
want
to
come
share
a
few
things
with
you.
I
know
we
showed
on
time,
but
it's
important
for
you
to
hear
I'm
gonna
start
with
my
sister
that
is
started
with
the
organization
about
a
year
ago
and
she
was
doing
outreach
about
three
weeks
ago
and
something
that
touched
her
heart
that
she
said
she
wanted
to
share
with
y'all
today.
U
So
I
wanted
to
give
her
the
opportunity
so
to
all
the
council
members.
This
is
a
new
platform
for
me.
I've
never
spoken
in
front
of
council
members
or
anything
to
that
magnitude.
So
I
wasn't
trying
to
be
rude,
but
I
thank
you
guys
for
the
support
that
you
have
given
in
my
prayers
that
you
continue
to
do
that,
because
our
communities
need
it.
They
need
it
very
well.
They
need
a
very
bad.
V
Name
is
bridget
last
name
noelle.
I
just
started
with
the
organization
back
in
december,
I'm
from
the
corporate
side
of
working
and
banking
and
stuff
like
that.
V
When
I
came
and
my
brother
called
me-
and
you
know
I
got
a
job
here
for
you
and
would
you
like
to
you
know,
come
in
and
do
it
I
said
yeah.
Let
me
come
in
and
see
what's
going
on,
I'm
glad
I
did
I'm
from
a
different
era.
I
was
raised
different,
so
things
were
different.
You
know
my
grandmother
raised
us.
V
There
was
rules
and
regulations
rules
you
had
to
follow
and
you
didn't
you
paid
for
that.
You
got
punished
for
that,
but
it's
different
now
that
I
found
out
so
anyway.
Let
me
get
back
to
what
I
was
going
to
say
about
the
outreach
I
started
doing
outreach
because
I
work
in
office.
I
deal
with
the
youth
for
hennepin
county.
I
am
the
executive
director
over
that
program,
so
I
get
to
see
the
referrals
and
the
crimes
that
they
have
committed
when
they
come
in
to
the
office.
V
So
I
basically
more
are
in
the
office.
So
the
guys
that
go
out
and
do
irish,
I
said
I'm
gonna
go
out
there
and
see.
You
know
see
what
it's
all
about.
You
know
to
see.
What's
going
on,
so
I
went
out
and
I've
been
going
out
ever
since
I
love
it.
I
used
to
you
know,
like
I
said,
coming
from
the
corporate
side
and
dylan,
you
sit
at
a
desk
all
day,
looking
at
a
computer,
putting
in
numbers
doing
your
job.
V
When
I
got
out
there,
I
really
got
to
see
what
they
deal
with
on
a
day-to-day
basis
and
it's
a
lot
it's
a
lot
and
I
got
to
meet
people,
wonderful
people,
the
youth
I
work
with
very
intelligent
young
men,
very
educated.
You
would
you
you
know.
Just
things
happen
in
life,
they
followers
or
they
want
to
be
the
head
of
the
group.
You
know-
and
you
know
they
just
want
to
talk
to
somebody
about
that.
So
the
outreach
program
is
very,
very
important.
Like
I
said,
I've
met
a
young
lady.
V
We
were
out
over
there
on
broadway
and
we
were
out
there
doing
outreach
and
we
met
a
young
lady.
She
was
looked
like
just
dressed
in
everything
like
nothing
was
wrong
and
she
was
living
in
her
car
living
in
her
car,
and
we
wouldn't
have
never
known
that
if
we
had
not
had
that
communication
or
able
to
talk
to
her
put
her
in
a
hotel
fed,
her
gave
her
what
she
needed
and
we
keep
in
contact
with
our
people.
V
V
You
know
I'm
from
a
family
that
had
drugs
involved
alcohol
involved.
So
when
you
see
that
you
want
to
help-
and
you
see
how
you
can
be
a
part
of
that-
so
I
just
hope
everything
goes
that
way.
Y'all
keep
that
for
available
for
that.
We
know
for
them
to
be
able
to
do
that
for
these
organizations
for
everyone
here.
So
I
just
hope
that
that
you
know
that
continues
because
I
will
be
out
there
when
I'm
not
in
office,
doing
work
I'll
be
out
there,
but
anyway.
W
Hello
council,
how
you
doing
cheerwoman
my
name
is
pharaoh
merritt
coming
from
the
south
side
of
chicago
to
not
be
long-winded,
but
to
express
you
why
the
outreach
and
things
of
that
magnitude
are
important
is
because
we
did
not
have
those
opportunities
growing
up
like
most
of
the
gentlemen
and
women
that
work
in
other
outreach
groups.
We
were
those
kids
who
didn't
have
someone
to
come
speak
with
us.
All
we
did
have
was
somebody
well,
here's
a
pistol,
here's
some
dope,
here's
some
weed
so
on
and
so
forth.
W
So
now
these
children-
we
saying
well,
we
need
you
to
stop
doing
these
things,
but
we're
not
offering
them
anything.
So
sometimes
it
breaks
my
heart
to
hear
the
different
groups
come
up
here
and
it
seems
like
we
quibbling
over
table
scraps
when
this
shouldn't
even
be
a
discussion.
It
should
be
like
if
these
are
kids-
and
this
is
our
future,
then
why
are
we
arguing
about
any
type
of
funding
for
anything
when
these
women
and
gentlemen
are
outside?
W
Doing
all
of
this
work
and
another
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
about
since
the
inception
of
this
country,
we
have
taught
and
perpetuated
hate,
hating
self-loathing
and
look
at
those
people
and
looking
down.
Well,
we
have
to
understand
that
we're
the
group
that
was
hated
on
the
poor,
the
disenfranchised,
the
youth,
the
young,
we're
not
rich
and
powerful.
W
So
we
ask
that
the
people
that
are
responsible
for
sad
laws
can,
like
my
boss,
said,
come
and
just
see
what
we
do
observe
the
fact
that
we
saved
the
18
year
old,
woman's
life
from
jumping
out
the
window.
On
the
ninth
floor,
we
stopped
the
boy
hug,
the
boy
till
we
put
the
gun
down.
He
was
about
to
kill
another
boy,
three
feet
away
from
him.
He
didn't
even
know,
but
we
hugged
life
back
into
him.
W
We
see
these
gentlemen
and
women
out
there
every
night
we
we
watch
them
leave
and
when
they
leave,
then
the
gunshots
happen.
So
we
know
they're
effective.
They
don't
do
it
while
they're
there
we
had
four
days
off
the
four
days
off.
We
had.
It
was
four
murders
and-
and
I
hate
to
be
talking
about
money,
but
I'm
sorry,
we
need
it.
That's
just
what
it
is.
W
In
order
to
be
effective,
we
have
to
have
the
revenue
to
be
able
to
offer
these
different
programs
and
services
for
these
kids
out
here,
because
other
than
that
I
can
go,
give
me
a
five
dollar
percocet
and
I'm
gone.
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
the
walls
of
the
world.
I'm
not
even
here
I
don't
exist,
and
all
I
got
to
do
is
beg
for
five
more
dollars,
which
is
probably
gonna.
Take
me
two
minutes,
and
now
I'm
high
again.
W
S
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
patience.
I
we
apologize
that
we
took
a
long
time,
but
we
do
feel
like
this
was
really
important
for
you
all
to
hear
again.
Thank
you
for
my
time
and
eight
years
spent
with
the
city,
and
we
are
happy
to
stand
for
questions
to
myself
louisa
or
to
any
of
our
speakers.
K
K
So
I
have
several
questions
the
first
one
is:
could
you
explain
in
detail
why
one
of
your
methodologies
is
to
not
to
respond
to
calls
for
service.
S
So
it's
not
a
matter
of
it
being
our
methodology.
Our
work
is
not
responsive
based,
that's
not
what
we
do
in
the
same
way
that
a
nurse
is
not
running
out
onto
a
scene.
Our
function
is
not
that
and
we
are
following
the
cure
violence
model,
and
that
is
not
a
part
of
the
model.
We
are
not
intended
to
be
responders
to
scenes.
We
are
intended
to
build
relationships
that
prevent
those
scenes
from
happening.
So
there
are
people
in
places
who
are
trained
to
do
that
scene.
S
Work
self-deploying
to
scenes
can
be
very
dangerous,
and
so
it's
important
as
we
build
out
the
model
if
being
dispatched,
is
something
that
the
city
feels
is
important.
I
think
it's
something
worth
evaluating
and
deciding
whether
or
not
we
want
to
do
it,
but
it
is
not
a
part
of
the
evidence-based
model
that
we're
replicating,
and
in
this
inception
we
need
to
start
using
that
base
and
then
we
can
grow
and
adapt
as
it's
built
out.
K
So
we're
very
innovative
here
in
minneapolis,
and
perhaps
we
want
to
look
into
that
and
I'm
just
thinking
of
an
incident
not
too
long
ago
on
broadway
and
lindell,
there
was
a
shooting
and
a
crowd
formed
and
there
there
was
request
to
have
some
violence
interrupters
there
under
this
current
model.
That
did
not
happen,
but
I
would
think
you
know
in
a
situation
like
that,
if
it
was
possible
to
defuse
it.
S
S
L
S
S
Absolutely
and
we're
actually
working
with
dispatch
so
that
they
are
able
to
call
us
directly
if
inadvertently,
law
enforcement
makes
a
request
over
the
dispatch
that
they
know
how
to
reroute.
That
call
so
we're
looking
at
city
systems,
but
dispatch
is
a
intricate
world
and
adding
another
layer
of
response
for
them
is
work,
and
so
we
have
to
develop
that
system.
K
Okay,
great,
thank
you
next
question
is
you
had
mentioned
earlier
in
your
presentation
that
the
goal
is
to
change
norms
around
the
use
of
violence?
Do
you
have
what's
your
professional
opinion
on?
Is
that
gonna
happen
in
a
year
two
years,
a
generation.
S
So
shifts
and
cultural
norms
certainly
come
in
iteration,
so
they
take
time
they
take
relationship
they
take
rapport.
Building
the
public
health
approach
looks
at
the
individual,
the
familial
or
social
and
then
the
community
level.
We
believe
that
our
work
at
this
point
six
months
into
our
full
model
is
certainly
having
impacts
at
the
individual
level.
You
heard
a
number
of
our
interrupters
talk
about
the
impact
that
they're
having
in
getting
people
to
put
down
guns
and
change
their
lives,
whether
that's
through
employment
or
programmatic
opportunities.
S
I
think
to
see
that
societal
and
community
level
those
kinds
of
shifts
take
time
and
only
being
in
the
full
model
for
less
than
a
year.
Now
I
think
it's
going
to
take
us
some
time
to
see
those
community
norms
change,
but
they
happen
through
consistency,
so
dropping
off
and
picking
back
up
will
certainly
only
harm
that
kind
of
an
implementation.
K
Great,
thank
you
and
madam
chair
one
one
last
question,
so
this
this
is
the
report
from
last
year
that
you're
giving
us
now
this.
This
is
the
data
that
I'm
going
to.
S
B
J
K
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,.
S
And
response
to
council,
madam
chair
councilmember
ellison,
we
push
for
peace
director,
wanted
to
make
a
comment
about
the
data
or.
U
I
don't
know,
but
council
member,
mr
rain
brainville
correct.
You
just
asked
a
question
as
to
a
timeline
right.
I
think
that's
also
a
part
of
the
problem
see
we
want
these
unexpected.
We
want
these
unrealistic
expectations
of
what
we're
doing
when
we
have
a
100-year
problem
in
a
black
community
right.
This
violence,
ain't
just
started.
This
violence
has
been
happening
in
our
community
right.
So
while
we
would
love
to
be
able
to
say,
hey
man,
we
gonna
drop
the
percentage
of
shootings
on
broadway
and
lindell
75.
U
That's
not
realistic,
and
to
be
wholeheartedly
and
open
and
honest
with
you.
If
we
stop
one,
we
did
a
good
job,
so
I
just
I
did
that,
like
I
was
sitting
there
and
and-
and
the
lord
put
that
on
my
heart
immediately
that
I
just
because
I
think
that's
also
a
part
of
the
problem
government
entities
put
funding
out
there
and
they
expect
these
unrealistic
expectations
and
that's
just
not
realistic.
U
It's
not
things
take
time
right.
Just
30
years
ago
we
didn't
have
black
council
members
things
take
time,
I'm
not
trying
to
be
funny.
Listen,
I'm
not
trying
to
be
funny.
I'm
not
I'm
not
I'm
not
trying
to
be
funny.
This
is
not
a
black
and
white
issue
for
me,
but
what
I'm
saying
is
like
this
is
a
part
of
the
problem
they
put
money
out
here
and
then,
when
they
don't
see,
you
know
these
expectations
and
then
next
you
know
they
want
to
take
the
well.
No,
no!
No!
No!
No,
no
like
please.
U
U
It's
extraordinary
right,
so
yeah
it's
going
to
take
time
and
not
just
my
prayers
that
we
we
have
that
mindset
and
and
again
whether
I'm
a
part
of
the
team
or
not
whether
we
push
for
pieces
of
part
of
our
office
of
violence
prevention
moving
forward
or
not
whomever
get
this
opportunity
to
have
this
platform
give
them
the
time
that
they
need
to
continue
to
do
the
work
that
they
already
started.
That's
my
prayer!
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know
unless
have
direct
questions
and
more
just
wanted
to
just
reflect
on
the
the
the
program
and
and
my
my
inner,
my
engagement
with
it
and
thank
the
work,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
that
you
said
look
cure.
Violence
is
one
of
the
models.
It's
the
models
that
it's
the
model
that
you
know
the
health
department
is
engaged
in,
but
it's
not
the
only
model.
I
see
you
know
my
girlfriend.
Lisa
clements
is
in
the
audience.
H
I
want
to
acknowledge
her
because
she's
done
this
work
for
a
long
time,
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
the
the
groups
in
the
room
who
are
really
saving
lives
in
a
tremendous
way.
Trey
you,
you
said:
if
we
save
one,
that's
a
good
thing.
You
save
one
you've,
probably
prevented
a
whole
cycle
of
violence
right
and
so,
and
so,
and
so
even
just
the
one
at
a
time
is
more
than
just
one
at
a
time,
and
I
just
wanted
to
hold
that
up.
H
You
know
a
few
other
things
I'll
say
is,
and
I
don't
talk
about
this
a
lot
because
you
know
I
try
not
to
you
know,
make
make
my
time
up
here
on
on
on
the
bench
about
me
all
the
time.
But
you
know
what,
when
I
was
a
freshman
in
high
school,
I
had
a
really
good
friend
killed
on
west
broadway,
and
you
know
I
you
know
I
I
I
think
about.
H
I
hear
the
work
that
you
guys
do
and
I
lived
my
basically
my
whole
childhood
on
west
broadway
and-
and
I
think
about
that
moment
it
was
about
0
405,
like
what,
if
we
had
what,
if
we
had
what,
if
what
if
trey
was
on
the
corridor
right,
those
are
the
things
that
I
think
about.
You
know.
Obviously
this
work
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
it
has
to
take
root
right,
the
office
being
formed
in
2018
right
the
works,
the
work.
H
Right
the
work
precedes
that
a
little
bit,
but
the
office
itself
wasn't
created
until
2019.
You
know
this
this
it's
taken
our
other
public
safety
initiatives
and
and
and
departments
a
lot
longer
than
that
to
take
root.
This
program
needs
some
time
to
take
root
and
I
think
that
that's
really
important,
and
so
I
wanted
to.
Thank
you
all.
Thank
you
guys
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
I
love
to
see
the
data.
H
I
love
seeing
the
data
come
before
us
because
it
it
sort
of
gives
us
a
glimpse
into
the
impact
that
you're
having
right,
and
I
think
that
it's
really
fair.
You
know,
and
I
would
encourage
my
colleagues
right
like
I
think
that,
like
you
know,
even
just
when
it
the
question
of
when
are
you
guys,
responsive
and
when
are
you
not
responsive
and
who
are
you
responsive
to
you
know,
those
kinds
of
questions
can
really
become
clarified.
H
When
you
know
you
spend
it,
you
spend
an
evening
on
one
of
these
corridors
or
one
of
these
corners
with
the
teams,
and
so
thank
you
guys
for
the
work
that
you
do
and,
and
it's
just
incredible
to
see
you
guys
in
here
I
see
a
former
student
of
mine
and
a
good
friend
of
mine.
You
know
in
the
minneapolis
shirts
and
I'm
a
little
surprised
to
see
her
it's
great
to
see
you
doing
this
work
too.
So,
thank
you
guys
again
and
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say.
L
Thank
you,
chair
vital,
so
I
am
most
excited
about
our
unarmed
public
safety
work
that
we
get
to
lead
here,
and
this
is
one
aspect
of
it
through
obp
and
also
a
dynamic
of
that
is
the
opposite
side
of
that.
I
see
on
a
committee
where
we
review
and
approve
millions
of
dollars
in
legal
settlements
related
to
our
armed
services
of
taxpayer
dollars,
and
we
are
not
getting
the
services
that
I
think
many
of
you
come
out
and
intervene
and
provide.
So
that
said,
I
would
love
to
know.
L
Do
you
have
numbers
about
the
money
that
has
been
spent
on
legal
settlements
or
worker
comps
related
claims
for
ovp,
rop
ovp
staff.
S
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
wansley,
all
interrupters
are
contractors
or
employees
of
non-profits
who
receive
funds
to
provide
these
services
through
the
city
of
minneapolis's
office
of
violence
prevention.
There
have
been
zero
claims
against
the
city
or
those
non-profits
related
to
death
or
workers.
Comp
due
to
the
you
know,
any
incidents
that
would
have
happened
on
the
job.
L
Thank
you
for
crystallizing
that
the
other
one
is.
I
I
love
for
the
opportunity
for
us
to
uplift
the
work,
as
I
believe,
chief
steiner,
highlighted
of
as
well
as
our
neighborhood
partnerships
director.
We
are
becoming
renowned
nationally
for
this
work.
I
think
you
just
mentioned
from
world.
We
pushed
from
peace
that
you
were
out
in
dc.
This
program
has
been
recognized
by
the
white
house
administration.
L
S
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
warren
wansley
minneapolis
is
identified
by
the
biden
administration
as
one
of
16
cities
working
at
a
high
level
on
the
issue
of
violence
prevention
in
a
comprehensive
way,
and
we
had
a
visit
from
that
delegation
just
over
a
month
ago.
I
believe
one
of
the
highlights
of
that
visit
is
that
they
spent
time
with
each
of
our
teams
on
the
ground,
and
the
feedback
has
been
very
supportive
and
uplifting.
S
It's
giving
us
context
for
opportunities
to
make
shifts
and
changes
so
to
think
about
how
we're
setting
our
teams
up
and
organizing
them
in
a
way
where
they
can
be,
as
impactful
there's
deep
recognition
that
this
work
is
underfunded
by
the
biden
administration,
typically
to
support
a
team
you're
looking
at
upwards
of
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
team
right
now,
our
teams
are
receiving
275
thousand
dollars,
so
it's
less
than
half
of
what
would
be
recommended.
So
that's
one
of
the
the
pieces
of
feedback
that
we've
received
from
our
white
house
delegation.
S
That
being
said,
they
are
highly
impressed
with
the
work
that
we've
been
able
to
do
the
relationships
that
they
see
on
the
ground
and
the
opportunity
here,
as
mentioned
by
the
director
of
epidemiology
in
minneapolis,
we've
only
been
doing
this
work
in
a
non-piloted
way
for
six
months.
It
usually
takes
upwards
of
two
years
to
do
a
retroactive
look
at
outcomes,
but
we
are
seeing
significant
relationship,
development
impact
in
community
and
outcomes
for
the
people,
we're
able
to
serve,
which
is
impressive,
and
our
numbers
of
contacts
and
mediations
have
been
mentioned
as
highlights
as
well.
L
Thank
you
for
that,
and
just
last
question
more
so
of
a
comment
too.
Thank
you
for
raising
this
in
the
the
research
part
of
some
of
the
challenges
in
terms
of
or
or
or
gaps.
Well,
no,
challenges
and
improvements.
Areas
of
improvement
of
you
know
still
this
association
with
law
enforcement
and
how
that
compromises.
A
lot
of
the
work
that
I
think
these
groups
are
doing,
to
build
trust
with
the
community
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
share
with
you
at
our
last
meeting
is
and
unfortunately,
yeah.
L
But
this
transparency
piece-
I
I
know
at
that
time-
we
had
the
the
infamous
like
cup
incident
and,
most
recently,
what
was
brought
to
my
attention
was.
We
also
had
a
worker
that
was
not
on
ovp
time
that
went
out
to
encampment
and
was
associated
with
mpd,
bringing
them
to
carry
out
eviction
so
making
sure
we're
crystallizing
making
clear
you
know,
at
least
with
the
cups
cubs
incident.
I
believe
the
organization,
let
that
gentleman
go
not
sure
where
that
stands
with
the
the
eviction
piece.
L
But
I
do
want
to
note,
like
that's
a
big
interest
of
my
office,
is
making
sure
we're
working
together
to
further
clarify
that
transparency
of
when
we're
on
ovp
time,
that's
ovp
what
happens
in
other
contracts
and
how
we're
leveraging
accountability
like
making
those
lines
very
clear
for
the
public.
S
And
that
is
thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
weinsley,
that
is
one
of
the
key
pieces
of
actionable
items
that
we're
working
on
with
the
white
house
is:
how
do
we
crystallize
this
work
if
these
folks
are
not
working
exclusively
with
and
for
us?
So
if
we
contract
with
agencies
and
there's
a
set-aside,
because
there's
an
affordability
to
do
that
kind
of
work,
we
can
carve
out
10
or
15
full-time
staff
from
an
organization
and
delegate
that
they're
only
doing
work
for
minneapolis
with
the
kind
of
budgets
that
we're
able
to
allocate.
S
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
speak
to
some
of
the
work
that
you're
doing
in
and
around
the
school
system
and
kind
of
the
distinction
between
youth
violence
group
violence
and
then
how
that
intersects
with
our
school
system
and
how
we
can
kind
of
expand
that
work,
which
you
know
also
acknowledging
this
capacity
issue.
S
Thank
you,
councilman
for
paying
for
the
questionnaire
committee,
chair,
pain
committee
council
committee,
co-chair
pain,
no.
S
Pain,
you
know
it
could
be
a
long
afternoon,
sir.
Yes,
two
of
our
teams
are
working
strategically
with
minneapolis
public
schools
to
provide
some
support
during
after
school
hours,
recognizing
that
there
is
some
deficits
in
communities
around
community
safety
resources
and
that
it's
not
always
the
most
appropriate
fit
to
have
armed
security
having
familiar
faces
from
community
who
are
contracted
to
not
be
necessarily
in
the
school,
but
in
and
around
the
building
after
school.
Let
out
to
make
sure
that
students
are
able
to
get
to
buses
and
cars
safely.
S
Those
kids
who
are
walking
to
schools
are
able
to
get
to
and
from
where
they
need
to
get
to
safely,
so
we're
working
with
three
schools-
that's
patrick
henry
north,
high
and
south
right
now.
The
team
that
works
for
south
is
touch
and
they've
also
established
some
really
meaningful
relationships,
above
and
beyond
that
contract
with
that
building
and
are
doing
some
really
great
stuff.
You
know
week
in
open
gyms
and
other
things
that
has
really
bridged
a
gap
for
young
people
in
that
community.
S
A
A
I
have
a
couple
questions
really
quickly
and
I
I
want
to
thank
you
all
so
much
for
coming
today
and
providing
this
presentation
publicly,
because
I
get
lots
of
questions
about
your
work
in
in
the
community
and
I
think
it's
great
that
we're
recognized
nationally
for
the
work
that
we're
doing,
but
I
think
it's
most
important
that
the
taxpayers
of
minneapolis
understand
what
is
happening
with
the
money,
so
it's
important
that
they
hear
it
from
you
all
and
they
hear
the
data
about
what's
happening.
You
know,
I
know
that
it.
A
What
20
years
ago
there
there
probably
wasn't
this
many
black
people
on
the
city
council,
but
I'm
I'm
just
like
all
of
you
are
I'm
not
I'm,
not
the
council
member
who
you
know
has
been
born
with
a
silver
spoon
in
my
mouth,
real
recognized,
real.
I
know.
What's
going
on
in
these
streets
right,
I
came
from
the
all
gill
gardens
projects
in
chicago
tray,
so,
like
I
I
mean
I'm
just
saying.
I
know
what's
going
on,
I
see
it.
I
walk
outside
every
single
day.
I
live
in
this
community.
A
I
see
miss
connie,
I
see
you
know
whoever
is
patrolling,
but
I
know
that
I
think
it's
our
job
to
teach
people
what
it
is
we're
doing.
Just
because
one
assumes
that
people
know
it's
not
true
and
it's
different.
It's
different
in
every
department
right,
like
it's
our
job,
to
tell
people
what
we're
doing
in
our
streets
in
our
community,
and
so
this
isn't
you
know
a
couple.
People
got
up
and
made
comments
about
like
funding.
A
This
isn't
a
platform
to
you
know
make
you
all
feel
like
you
have
to
sing
and
dance
for
money.
This
is
for
us
to
have
an
understanding
of
the
work
that
is
being
done
in
our
communities.
All
of
this
work
is
valuable.
People
need
to
see
what
value
this
brings.
People
need
to
literally
hear
it
from
the
horse's
mouth
that
hey.
I
walked
up
to
a
young
man
who
needed
housing
resources,
and
I
was
able
to
do
that.
You
know
I
was
able
to
connect
them
and
there's
follow-up.
A
People
need
to
hear
that
a
hundred
or
so
men
who
were
maybe
in
the
community
doing
nothing
now
have
cdl
license
and
are
probably
truck
drivers.
People
need
to
see
that
people
have
highs
lows.
Ups,
downs.
If
we
don't
have
these
conversations,
we're
never
going
to
fix
any
of
this.
None
of
this
is
going
to
happen
overnight.
A
I
love
it
I'm
here
for
it,
I'm
always
gonna
support
it,
but
I
do
I'm
gonna
just
keep
on
going
back
to
it's,
not
just
about
me
and
it's
not
about
you
all
who
are
doing
the
work.
We
live
in
a
city
of
a
half,
a
million
people
and
they
want
to
know
where
every
single
penny
they
put
into
taxes
goes
to.
So
we
have
to
have
this
platform.
People
people
need
to
know
and
we
need
to
know
the
differences.
You
know.
A
One
of
the
things
that
comes
up
often
is
how
you're
deployed
you
just
talked
about.
You
know
you,
don't
you
you're,
not
a
911
response,
you
go
so
how?
How
does
one
do
do
they
call
you
director,
cotton
or
do
they
call?
Is
there
a
direct
number
that
people
call
if
there
is,
you
know
something
that
happens
and
we
need
some
type
of
intervention.
S
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Madam
chair
per
the
model.
Interrupters
are
not
deployable,
so
people
shouldn't
be
calling
for
those
services.
Our
goal
is
that
our
interrupters
are
building
relationships
in
the
community
and
are
present
in
the
places
where
they
are
needed.
That
being
said,
as
we
build
out
this
model,
we
want
to
incorporate
those
relationships
with
people
who
might
need
to
make
those
kinds
of
calls,
which
is
why
we've
shared
phone
numbers
of
our
interrupter
team
leads
as
well
as
my
direct
line
with
the
inspectors
and
leadership
of
the
police
department.
S
Cards
and
flyers
are
often
dropped
at
local
businesses
that
these
teams
are
working
in,
but
it
is
not
intended
to
be
a
response.
Is
it
intended
to
be
a
presence?
If
that's
a
point
of
clarity,
that's
helpful.
So
much
like
a
nurse
or
someone
might
be
in
community
doing
their
work,
but
you
can't
call
9-1-1
and
ask
for
them.
I
think
that
there's
a
bit
of
a
gap,
so
we
have
policing
that
is
9-1-1
deployable.
We
now
have
the
behavioral
health
unit
that
is
9-1-1
deployable.
S
These
folks
are
not
911
deployable,
they
are
doing
the
relationship-based
work
to
de-escalate
conflict,
as
it
happens
in
the
communities
that
they
work
in.
What's
in
between
is
probably
someone
who
can
do
conflict
resolution
work
on
a
deployable
basis,
but
the
city
has
not
funded
or
asked
for
that.
No.
A
I
get
that
part,
but
I
mean
like
me
personally:
I've
went
to
a
crime
scene
and
I've
seen
interrupters
there
and
it
wasn't
like
in
my
area.
Their
down.
Lottery
typically,
is
where
I
see
them,
or
I
see
them
on
broadway,
but
I've
seen
them
at
the
crime
scene
of
somewhere.
That
is
not
the
typical
like
area
that
they're
deployed
in
how
did
they
get
there.
S
So
I'm
sorry
thank
you
for
the
question
madam
chair
inspectors
do
make.
Those
calls
the
front
office
does
make
those
calls
when
we
receive
those
calls.
We
are
happy
to
mobilize
our
teams
to
respond,
and
we
do
that,
and
we
are
doing
our
very
best
to
ensure
that
leadership
in
the
police
department
has
access
to
those
numbers
and
can
make
those
calls
when
they
feel
like
it's
necessary.
A
S
S
They
should
be
wearing
a
uniform.
The
exception
is
that
we
have
huge
gaps
in
ordering
uniforms.
There
are
lots
of
chain
of
command
problems
around
the
uniforms
that
you
see
these
folks
wearing.
Some
of
them
have
had
these
uniform
pieces
for
over
a
year
as
they're
a
staff
turnover.
It
is
very
difficult
with
our
procurement
process
to
purchase
items.
We
sat
on
an
invoice
for
almost
three
months
for
jackets
that
we
ordered
in
february.
S
So
there
are
some
logistical
issues,
because
this
work
is
new,
so
whereas
an
officer
can
go
and
just
walk
into
the
store
where
they
have
a
credit
and
purchase
their
items
in
their
size
and
what
they
need.
There's
not
a
system
like
that
for
this
work,
so
some
of
these
things
still
yet
need
to
be
systematized
to
make
them
most
efficient
so
that
our
work
is
consistent.
A
Thank
you
and
then
my
last
question.
So
you
know,
we've
talked
about
we've
met
about
this
and
we've
talked
about
the
the
groups
being
put
in
certain
areas.
How
does
that
change?
Like
say
you
know
one
area
that
they've
been
working
on
they've
made
it
all
better
now
and
there's
something
else
going
on
somewhere
else
in
ward
4..
What
how
do
you
switch
up
or
how
are
decisions
made
about
where
they're
going
to
be.
S
You
know
collections
of
people
who
are
gathering
who
appear
to
be
group
or
gang
involved,
because
we
want
to
be
in
the
places
with
the
most
high
risk
individuals.
We
also
certainly
take
calls
through
3-1-1
or
directly
from
our
office
by
community
members.
If
they
have
an
area
of
concern,
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
interrupters
will
show
up
that
day,
but
we
will
take
those
calls
into
consideration
as
we're
doing
rerouting.
S
Also,
our
interrupters
are
from
the
communities
that
they
serve
so
they're,
also
developing
those
relationships
and
navigating
space
based
on
what
they're
hearing
in
the
street
as
they're,
engaging
with
the
clients
that
they
serve.
So
if
they
hear
hey,
it's
really
popping
up
here,
they're
gonna,
you
know
put
some
effort
in
having
people
go
to
that
area.
They're
also
deployed
to
crime
scenes
by
law
enforcement.
S
If
we
get
that
call
through
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
so
when
a
child
dies
or
there's
a
massive
scene,
we
are
totally
willing
and
happy
when
an
inspector
or
deputy,
chief
or
chief
calls
us
and
says
we
could
really
use
some
additional
support
here.
The
community
is
really
struggling.
We
will
pull
resources
from
community
areas
that
are
maybe
quieter
to
deploy
those
resources
to
a
crime
scene
or
an
area.
That's
just
experienced
a
critical
incident
to
make
sure
we
can
cover
the
needs
in
that
community.
S
A
You
thank
you
all
so
much
any
further
discussion
seeing
no
further
business.
Thank
you
so
much
director
cotton
and
thank
you
for
all
your
service
in
the
future.
I
hope
that
we
continue
to
work
together,
seeing
no
further
business
before
us
and
without
objection.
I
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
