A
2
of
the
american
rescue
plan
act
funds
with
the
help
of
our
budget
office.
We
have
a
packet
prepared
of
amendments
before
us.
I
want
to
note
from
my
colleagues
and
the
public
that
today
we
will
only
consider
the
amendments
in
the
printed
packet.
Any
additional
amendments
will
be
brought
to
our
second
markup
session.
That's
scheduled
for
this
friday
may
20th
at
10.
Am
we
will
have
a
hard
stop
of
12
30
today,
so
that
we
can
be
completed
in
advance
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
which
is
meeting
at
1
30?
A
A
Any
questions
I
also
want
to
recognize
that
we
have.
President
jenkins
has
arrived
and
council
member
payne
as
well.
Okay
with
that,
the
first
item
in
our
packet
is
not
a
motion,
but
rather
an
update.
So
after
reviewing
the
recruitment
retention
and
hiring
support
proposal,
I
worked
with
director
taisha
of
the
department
of
race
and
equity,
taisha,
green
sorry
of
the
department
of
race
and
equity
and
director
patience,
ferguson
of
the
department
of
human
resources,
to
update
the
language
in
the
recruitment
retention
and
hiring
support
proposal.
A
These
changes
included
edits
to
the
problem
statement,
so
that
it
includes
all
reasons
why
the
city's
ability
to
hire
recruit
and
retain
have
been
impeded
and,
more
specifically,
overall
view
of
minneapolis
and
the
racial
uprising
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd
edits
to
the
proposed
action
detail
to
include
additional
language
about
intentionally
targeting
black
indigenous
people
of
color
and
lgbtqia
candidates
and
edits
to
the
racial
equity
impact.
To
reflect
that
we
need
to
do
more
than
just
recruit
racially
diverse
candidates.
A
B
Immerse
take
my
my
mask
off.
We
are
in
fully
support
of
the
edits
to
this
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
our
colleagues
throughout
the
enterprise
to
really
work
to
make
this
a
racially
equitable
workforce,
and
so
I
really
don't
have
any
more
comments
on
that.
I
think
that
it
just
reinforces
the
need
for
us
to
be
intentional
and
deliberate
as
we
move
forward
in
this
new
normal,
and
that
is
going
to
take
the
collective
responsibility
of
every
single
person
in
the
enterprise
to
make
our
dreams
a
reality.
A
C
Actually,
I'm
bringing
a
revision
to
this
item
for
our
friday's
budget
markup
session
to
reflect
some
of
the
changes
that
I've
basically
have
come
into
a
consensus
with
council
member
vita,
as
well
as
some
of
our
our
city,
attorneys
about
moving
that
funding,
specifically
for
a
database
in
the
city
attorney's
office.
So
I
do
want
to
note
that,
while
we're
discussing
this,
there
won't
be
a
vote
taken
on
this
until
friday
when
we
bring
that
revision.
C
But
I
at
least
wanted
to
offer
some
comments
about
why
we're
bringing
this
forward
and
the
intentionality
behind
it.
So
I
know
our
city
attorneys
take
the
reporting
of
brady
materials
very
seriously
and
after
conversations
with
staff,
it's
clear
that
you
know
overall,
their
overall
capacity
to
to
rise
to
compliance
within
the
brady
disclosure
is
greatly
tied
to
capacity
and
resources.
C
There's
also,
this
added
complexity
that
we're
all
experiencing
right
now
in
minneapolis
of
tons
of
public
scrutiny
and
balancing
the
demands
of
transparency
and
private
data,
and
as
well
as
knowing
that
some
of
that
is
dependent
upon
amongst
external
agencies
as
well.
So
this
funding
essentially
will
allow
the
city
attorney's
office
the
ability
to
receive
deliverable
proposals
in
the
form,
as
we
will
talk
about
on
friday
of
a
database
database
that
will
support
their
internal
systems
as
well
as
strengthen
the
overall
integrity
of
the
city
enterprise.
C
The
decision
to
fund
this
proposal
from
the
human
resource
fund
is
because
you
know
I
believe
this
proposal
supports
the
overall
mission
of
these
funds,
which
is
to
recruit
to
retain
employees,
especially
in
the
wake
of
our
the
current
poor
impression
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
with
employees
due
to
the
racial
uprising
and
the
murder
of
george
floyd.
I
also
want
to
emphasize
again
that
my
office
has
been
in
conversations
with
the
city
attorney's
office
and
with
recent
changes
to
staffing.
C
You
know
this.
This
particular
support
will
be
really
really
crucial
to
strengthening
the
capacity
of
that
that
department.
In
this
this
current
moment,
so
of
course
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
support
this
amendment,
especially
with
us
being
a
collaborative
partner
with
the
city
attorney's
office
with
our
fellow
council
members
about
how
we
can
build
newer,
more
just
systems
as
it
pertains
to
braiding
materials,
and
that
said
again,
bringing
us
a
revised
version
of
this
on
friday
to
reflect
some
of
the
changes
that
has
come
from
those
conversations.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
did,
since
we
have
the
city
attorney's
office
would
like
to
invite
mary
allen.
Hang
ms,
hang
to
to
come
and
speak
a
little
bit
to
it.
I
did
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
council
member
wansley
warloba
about
her
amendment,
and
it
was
my
understanding
after
we
spoke
that
we
already
do
this,
but
that
there
is
an
opportunity
to
look
to
the
future
here
and
maybe
replace
an
aging
system,
and
so
ms
hang,
could
you
help
us
understand?
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I'm
mary
ellen,
hang,
I'm
the
criminal
deputy
in
the
city,
attorney's
office,
chair
koski,
council,
member
promisano
and
councilmember
wanzi
warburla.
First,
thank
you
for
what
you
said.
Yes,
my
office
takes
our
obligation
very
seriously.
We
had
a
really
great
conversation
with
your
staff
yesterday
and
I
appreciated
having
the
opportunity
to
to
have
that
conversation.
F
F
They
have
gone
down
and
reviewed
the
files
in
ia
and
opcr
to
make
sure
that
we
have
updated
information
and
that
we
are,
you,
know,
meeting
our
disclosure
obligations.
The
issue
with
our
current
database
is
it.
It
was
built
by
one
of
our
attorneys
because
we
realized
we
needed
to
gather
this
information
and
then
we
needed
to
have
it
accessible
so
that
we
could
meet
our
discovery
obligations
and
it
was
built.
I
don't
know
exactly
why
he
did
it,
but
he
built
it
in
the
access
database
and
I'm
not
very
familiar
with
that.
F
So
that's
a
big
concern
for
us,
so
I
think
to
have
funds
to
explore
whether
we
could
set
this
up
on
a
different
platform
and
then,
unfortunately,
when
we
did
look
at
possibly
doing
that
internally,
the
real
issue
for
our
data
became
there's
no
easy
way
to
just
copy
it
out
of
the
access
database,
so
we're
going
to
actually
need
to
hire
someone
most
likely
to
actually
physically
type
all
that
data
back
into
a
new
database,
and
I
don't
have
the
staffing
capacity
right
now.
You
know
to
do
that.
F
F
We
have
an
assigned
paralegal
who
sends
that
to
the
court
under
a
protective
order,
and
once
that
protective
order
is
signed
that
gets
disclosed
to
the
defense,
they
have
access
for
the
limited
purpose
of
the
court
case,
and
then
you
know
we
obviously
argue
about
whether
it's
admissible
relevant
all
of
that
stuff.
So,
even
if
we
could
create
a
database
that
partners
presumably
say
public
defense
or
other
prosecuting
agencies
like
the
county,
that
would
need
it's
only
going
to
contain
the
public
data.
F
I
don't
see
how
we
would
be
able
to
put
in
so
it
would
be
a
partial
database
at
best.
So
I
think
making
sure
that
we
have
a
robust
database
and
the
resources
to
to
do
this
work
fully.
We
have
just
recently
assigned
a
new
attorney
starting
june
1
sierra
amelia's.
Her
whole
assignment
is
going
to
be
brady
work
to
work
under
tim
and
chris,
we
are
going
to
increase
our
review
of
the
police
and
opcr
files
to
at
least
monthly,
possibly
more
as
her
work
allows
and
we're.
F
Certainly
you
know,
brady
is
a
trial
right
and
we
certainly
fulfill
that
right
at
all
of
our
trial
stages.
When
we
get
motions
at
pre-trial,
we
obviously
comply
with
those
we're
hope
with
with
resources.
Do
I
think
it's
a
bad
idea
to
discuss?
Should
we
be
doing
this
work
further
upstream
in
the
criminal
process?
Absolutely,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
to
be
had
by
that.
But
again,
as
the
council
member
indicated,
it's
it's
really
resource
intensive.
It's
really
labor
intensive
work
to
review
these
files,
make
a
determination
of.
E
D
You
chair
koski,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
council,
member
wansley
worlobay,
and
I
had
some
conversations
about
this
and
I
had
some
concerns
because
we
already
have
an
existing
database
and
I
don't
want
to
reinvent
the
will.
I
want
to
make
sure
whatever
is
brought
forward
on
friday,
so
thank
you
for
pulling.
This
is
really
going
to
help
staff
and
not
make
it
more
complicated
and
that
we
take
an
opportunity
to
work
with
our
partners,
who
are
doing
the
same
things
to
figure
out
what
is
working
best
for
them
also.
D
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
whatever
comes
forward
on
friday,
but,
as
I
said,
I
don't
want
to
make
this
harder
for
staff.
I
want
this
to
if
we
have
a
database.
I
want
us
to
be
able
to
support
this
long
term.
This
doesn't
feel
like
I
mean
these
are
opera
dollars,
so
it
feels
like
a
short-term
fix
with
these
dollars.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
pathway
to
continuing
because
we're
at
a
space
now
where
the
database
is
outdated.
D
F
If
I
could
add
one
thing,
thank
you
for
that
council,
member
vita,
chair,
koski
council.
We
are
also
looking
at
trying
to
re-uh
to
bring
a
new
case
management
system
into
our
office.
Our
case
management
system.
We
were
one
of
the
first
prosecutor
offices
to
have
a
case
management
system.
It
was
built
in
2006..
F
I
I
have
been
here
25
years,
so
I
was
part
of
that
process,
and
I
said
I
am
not
the
I.t
person.
I
married
someone
who
likes
that
stuff,
so
I
don't
have
to
think
about
it,
and
so
we
built
the
best
system
we
could
with
what
was
on
the
market.
Things
have
obviously
changed
a
lot
in
20
some
odd
years
and
there
are
much
better
products
out
there.
F
So
that
is
something
that
we
are
working
towards
and
talking
to
it
about
trying
to
basically
get
a
more
updated
case
management
system,
and
the
reason
that's
relevant
to
this
discussion
is
whatever
we
convert
the
brady
database
into.
We
want
to
make
sure
it
can
integrate
into
that
system
to
again
make
us
more
efficient
with
this
work.
F
So
we
have
the
information
that
we
need
and
I
think
we
we're
going
to
need
to
change
the
access
system
to
do
that
whatever
and
that
we
end
up
with
as
a
case
management
system
when
that
happens
down
the
line
in
a
few
years.
But
I
think
now
is
the
time
to
look
at
some
of
the
way
we've.
The
way
evidence
has
changed
has
changed
our
work
tremendously.
We
didn't
do
sharepoint
sharing
of
videos
or
any
of
that
stuff
even
five
years
ago,
and
we're
using
technology
to
make
sure
we're
meeting
those
obligations.
F
A
Thank
you
and
I
put
myself
in
queue
just
to
follow
up
a
quick
question
around
the
funding
stream.
So
I
understand
we're
asking
for
200
000:
do
you
feel
that
that's
adequate
for
this
initial,
consulting
services
or
startup
or-
and
I
should
say,
is
this?
Are
there
going
to
be
additional
ongoing
funding
needed
for
this
so,
and
I
guess
also
is
arpa
funding,
then
the
appropriate
place
for
us
to
be
looking
for
this
type
of
funding
for
the
work
that
I'm
hearing
you
describe.
F
Chair
koski
fellow
council
members-
I
I
don't
know
for
sure
if
the
funding
will
be
enough
or
to
I
think,
that's
for
others
who
can
decide
like
what
platform
should
we
use
and
then
what
resources
it
would
take
to
actually
build
that
and
then
obviously
there
would
be
some
cost
to
the
staff.
You
know
if
we
had
to
hire
someone
temporarily
to
come
in
and
work
in
our
office
to
transfer
that
data.
C
Yes,
thank
you.
So
much
again,
as
I
noted
the
revisions
that
we're
looking
to
bring
forward
on
friday
is
absolutely
geared
towards
getting
the
supports
to
our
city,
attorney's
office.
That
has
you
know
shared.
This
is
a
great
need,
especially
in
times
of
staffing
capacity,
and
also
again,
with
the
spotlight
on
minneapolis
with
that
mdhr
report,
and
it
highlighted
specifically
some
of
the
brady
disclosures
and
the
violations
around
it.
C
I
think
our
staff
are
like
again
they
take
the
serious
if
this
is
a
small
thing
that
we
can
do
to
make
sure
you
get
the
support
you
need
for
us
to
be
in
compliance
and
to
address
this.
This
particular
thing
in
that
report
I
think,
like
this
is
a
a
win-win
for
everyone,
and
I
really
look
forward
to
again
gaining
the
support
of
my
colleagues
to
really
support
our
staff
and
leading
some
of
this
great
work
and
getting
us
up
to
compliance
with
the
the
brady
data
act.
C
So
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
much
more
contacts
and
again
like
for
being
in
conversations
with
our
office.
You
know
this
is
a
complex
thing.
I
did
not
know
much
prior
to
the
the
human
rights
report
and
you
you
helped
break
this
down
for
us
and
also
helped
us
understand
how
we
can
better
support
you
in
this
process.
So
again,
the
revisions
will
be
reflective
of
you
know,
making
sure
you
all
have
access
to
the
resources
that
you
can
to
get
the
best
quality
database.
A
A
C
Also,
this
relates
to
council
member
jamal
osman,
as
their
award
is
also
impacted
by
the
third
precinct.
So
this
this
basically
is
to
help
the
city
fulfill
a
role
in
continuing
the
conversations
that
community
has
asked
of
us
around.
You
know
what
the
redevelopment
of
the
third
precinct
will
look
like
community
has
stepped
up
in
the
space
where
we
have
not.
Apparently
there
was
promises
to
do
continuous
community
engagement
around
the
third
precinct
a
couple
years
ago.
C
That
has
not
happened,
and
a
coalition
of
businesses
and
neighborhood
associations
and
residents
again
have
rise
to
the
occasion
to
hold
several
community
conversations
over
the
past
two
weeks.
Hundreds
have
participated,
and
many
of
them,
just
as
we
saw
on
monday,
where
they
had
their
in-person
meeting,
has
asked
the
city
to
support
them
because
they're
volunteering
their
time
to
hold
these
conversations
around
the
redevelopment
aspects
of
the
site.
They
would
like
the
city
to
take
that
on
and
do
so
in
partnership
with
those
community
members.
C
So
again,
this
is
the
opportunity
for
us
to
do
that.
Work
to
do
so
in
a
way
that
acknowledges
that
there
are
still
lots
of
racial
trauma
about
that
site.
There's
still
lots
of
justifiable.
You
know
distrust
about
how
the
city
might
move
forward
with
that
site.
So
here's
an
opportunity
to
bring
in
that
independent
outside
facilitator
to
really
help
the
city
and
our
community
partners
be
on
the
same
page
about
what
we
would
like
to
see.
You
know
happen
within
that
space.
C
G
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
have
a
question
with
the
city
staff.
Whoever
has
been
over
looking
or
responsible
keeping
up
this
site.
I
know,
as
a
cousin
member
mentioned,
that
racial
trauma
it
had
in
our
community
this
site,
I'd
like
to
get
an
update.
What
has
been
done?
What
role
did
the
city
place
ever
since
the
civil
unrest
and
the
place
has
been
closed?
I
know
it's
very
important
to
really
not
just
live
it
and
keep
it
the
way
things
are
on
the
side,
but
what
engagement
has
hasn't
been
done
in
the
community?
H
We
did
talk
about
last
year
on
the
search
of
finding
a
new
third
precinct
location,
because
remember
former
council
members
and
also
council
president.
I
know
we
had
a
discussion
about
what
this
site
would
look
like
and
how
important
it
is
to
to
make
sure
the
communities
are
engaged.
So
hazard
has.
Has
there
been
any
work
done
by
the
staff
when
it
comes
to
community
engagement.
A
D
You
chair
koski,
just
a
couple
quick
questions.
I'm
wondering
where
this
number
came
from
like
why.
Why
is
it
a
hundred
thousand
dollars?
Is
there
I
mean
we're
talking
about
money?
Is
there
a
budget
breakdown
of
what
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
going
to
be
used
exactly
for?
Do
we
have
staff
or
like
a
location
that
we're
paying
for
to
have
these
community
conversations?
D
I'd,
be
very
interested
in
knowing
how
we're
gonna
use
this
money
and
where
the
like,
the
number
came
from,
do
we
have
a
number
of
meetings
we're
going
to
be
hosting?
Are
we
going
to
pay
community
members?
Are
we
putting
out
flyers?
I
don't
know.
I
just
need
to
understand
where
the
number
came
from.
What
are
we
using
it
for
a
line-item
budget
on?
A
C
So
I
think
we
looked
at
what
has
been
passed,
as
you
know,
prior
presidents,
and
actually
we
looked
at
a
contract
that
the
city
coordinators
office
issue
actually
related
to
pillsbury
united,
which
also
brought
in
an
independent
facilitator
to
support
some
of
the
community
conversations
around
the
upper
harbor
terminal.
So
I
think
we
looked
at
that
as
a
model
again.
We
trust
that
the
city
coordinators
office,
which
we've
been
in
conversations
with
this,
is
not
a
new
type
of
proposal.
C
They,
you
know
issue
in
partnership
with
ncr
many
contracts
to
do
community
engagement,
so
I
actually
defer
to
their
expertise
to
be
able
to
work
with
community
members
to
set
those
metrics,
it's
a
final
vendor
that
can
incredibly
fulfill
those
metrics.
So
again
we
looked
at
past
presidents
around
the
figure.
That's
the
typical
amount
that
we
extend
in
these
rfps
for
these
particular
processes
again
naming
pillsbury
united
as
just
one
example
and
yeah
we're
absolutely
willing
to
print
out.
C
C
So,
since
the
beginning
of
the
year,
the
community
has
invited
and
worked
with
specifically
the
city
coordinators
as
well
as
cpes,
so
director
brennan,
has
also
been
part
of
those
conversations
around.
You
know
their
roles
and
in
playing
the
key
decision
making
or
occupying
a
key
decision
making
space
around
what
what
the
future
of
that
site
is.
So
again,
these
have
been
the
staff
that
has
worked
closely
with
community,
thus
far
around
these
discussions.
C
Again,
this
request
comes
directly
from
the
community-
I'm
not
here
to
impose
any
other
requests
on
that
community.
They
have
simply
asked
us-
and
you
can
speak
to
the
city
coordinators
as
well
as
the
staff
from
cpa
who's
been
present.
That
community
have
asked
basically
for
the
city
to
simply
have
some
community
engagement
facilitated
conversations
around
this
site.
C
Specifically,
of
course,
if
there's
an
ask
for
that
component,
I'm
pretty
sure
you
know,
as
the
facilitator
works
with
the
community
that
will
come
up,
but
I
don't
feel
comfortable
imposing
something
that
was
not
asked
by
the
comp
community
directly
or
of
our
staff
onto
amendment.
This
is
literally
rooted
in
conversations
for
the
past
several
years
around
this
and
are
reflective
of
the
ads
that
we
heard
even
just
this
monday.
J
Chair
coffee,
thank
you,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
onesie
worldwide
for
this
amendment.
The
third
precinct
is
located.
The
third
piece
of
building
is
located
in
the
ninth
ward
and
I've
had
multiple
conversations
with
a
lot
of
the
people
that
I
represent,
and
one
thing
has
been
very
clear
and
it's
that
people
want
our
city
to
take
action
on
what
this
site
is
going
to
look
like
whether
people
want
it
to
be
the
same
police
station
to
be
coming
back
or
they
want
something
different.
J
I
think
it's
been
very
clear
from
the
conversations
that
we
had
on
monday
and
the
week
before
online
is
that
people
want
our
city
to
take
action,
and
I
think
this
helps
us
move
towards
that
right
direction,
and
I
think
I
appreciate
your
your
comment.
Councilman
rainbow.
I
would
just
say
that
I
think
that
conversation
of
where
the
third
precinct
will
be
at
is
a
second
conversation
that
needs
to
happen.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
this
conversation.
J
The
conversation
right
now
that
community
community
members
want
to
have
is
whether
they
want
the
same
police
station
at
the
same
location
or
we're
going
to
do
something
different
to
reimagine.
What
is
happening
in
that
location?
That
has
a
lot
of
trauma,
and
I
my
opinion.
I
made
that
very
clear
with
my
constituency.
I
think
we
can
do
something
for
our
youth
to
invest
back
into
the
people
that
live
around
the
area,
but
I
will
be
supporting
this
motion
today.
J
A
A
C
Put
myself
back
on,
I
see
director,
heather
johnson
also
just
stepped
into
the
room.
If
I
know
there
were
some
questions
that
I
think
also
could
have
been
related
to
her
around,
you
know
why
we
chose
this
amount.
The
presidents
for
this
type
of
thing,
if
we
wanted
to
also
give
director
johnson
the
opportunity
to
also
speak,
especially
since
they
were
also
present
at
the
meeting
on
monday
and
the
prior
meeting.
K
K
A
G
I
M
L
A
A
N
N
Our
labor
standards,
not
unlike
business
regulations
of
all
kinds
at
every
level
state
federal
et
cetera,
require
a
particular
outcome,
for
example,
provide
a
particular
amount
of
paid
sick
leave
to
employees.
That's
an
outcome.
What
the
law
doesn't
explain
or
doesn't
require
of
businesses
or
doesn't
explain,
is
how
to
get
to
that
outcome.
N
That's
again
not
unlike
any
other
kind
of
business
regulation
and
that
sort
of
framework
is
comfortable,
familiar
and
reasonable
for
medium
and
large
size,
businesses,
for
example,
that
have
hr
departments,
payroll
providers,
compliance
personnel,
etc.
They
they
understand
that
there
are
a
variety
of
ways
to
get
there
and
it
really
depends
upon
the
pers
sort
of
the
personal
preference
of
the
business
and
how
these
requirements
fit
into
sort
of
existing
systems
within
the
business.
The
challenge,
however,
is
for
really
small,
our
smallest
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
that
either
don't
have
that
hr
department
payroll.
N
I
come
across
these
types
of
questions
and
challenges
with
our
smallest
businesses
all
the
time
and
as
as
do
really
any
department
of
labor,
all
sorts
of
business
regulation
enforcers
again
at
any
level
across
the
entire
country.
What
I've
never
seen
is
a
model
where
we
actually
step
in
and
sort
of
cross,
that
line,
if
you
will
from
just
stating
what
is
required
to
actually
helping
our
smallest
businesses
get
there.
N
That's
what
this
pilot
proposes
to
to
try
to
do,
and
I'm
really
excited
about
the
potential
and
and
to
pay
attention
to
sort
of
how
what
the
outcomes
of
this
pilot
might
be
and
what
that
really
tells
us
listening
throughout
the
pilot
very
intentionally
to
our
smallest
business
owners
and
the
participants
of
the
pilot
to
tell
us
what
it
is
that
they
need.
And
what
are
the
barriers
that
they
face.
O
Me
and
I'll,
just
briefly
at
first,
you
know,
director
walsh,
has
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this
and
thank
you
to
the
council
member,
but
this
is
a
way
of
making
sure
that
we
have
compliance
without
hurting
small
businesses,
and
so
it's
exciting
to
be
able
to
offer
support
so
that
we're
not
putting
an
undue
burden,
but
we're
also
making
sure
that
our
workers
are
being
treated
fairly.
And
so
this
is
an
innovative
and
creative
way
of
building
trust
and
relationships
with
our
small
businesses.
O
B
We
feel
that
this
is
an
incredible
investment
to
support
the
economic
development
of
these
businesses.
Many
of
them
who
operate
on
a
shoestring
budget
anyway,
and
we
have
given
them
some
compliance
and
some
some
compliance
obligations
to
be
able
to
give
them
the
support
that
they
need.
So
that
ensures
the
viability
hopefully
of
the
businesses
that
they
they
they
are
are
doing.
It's
only
a
small
amount
and
we
are
happily
behind
this
proposal
and
fully
supported.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
amendment
from
my
colleague
councilmember
koski.
Over
the
past
few
terms,
we've
made
a
number
of
changes
to
strengthen
our
local
economy
and
protect
workers
rights,
but
those
do
come
with
additional
tracking
steps
or
challenges,
especially
for
small
businesses.
E
I
appreciate
the
attention
that
this
amendment
has
on
making
protections
and
improvements
for
workers
easier
to
implement.
So
often
it's
not
my
intent.
It's
the
first
hand,
struggles
of
learning,
new
regulations
and
implementing
them.
At
the
same
time,
I
know
our
own
hr
department
had
had
difficulty
implementing
those
to
get
into
compliance
because
we
were
using
older
systems
and
it
wasn't
going
to
be
able
to
take
this
new
functionality.
E
C
Thank
you
cherykovsky.
I
also
just
wanted
to
state
my
support
for
this
amendment.
As
someone
who
worked
very
closely
and
often
was
on
the
opposite
side
of
this
diocese
around
the
15
minimum
wage
policy
fight,
I'm
really
excited
to
see
this
as
a
proactive
way
of
supporting
our
businesses
to
be
in
compliance
with
some
of
the
the
more
progressive
workers
rights
policies
that
we
pass.
So
I
want
to
you
know
thank
you
koski
for
bringing
this
forward.
C
C
Many
of
the
the
owners
that
I
speak
with
they're,
often
the
cooks,
the
the
servers,
the
managers
and
they
don't
have
dedicated
staff
like
some
other
corporate
businesses,
to
work
on
payroll,
to
make
sure
that
you
know
they're
tracking
earnings
and
save
time
wages
and
benefits.
So
I'm
really
excited
that
we're
proactively
taking
this
approach
to
to
work
with
businesses
to
get
in
compliance
with
some
of
these
amazing
and
progressive
policies
that
we
get
to
pass
within
this
legislative
body.
A
Thank
you,
council
members,
and
thank
you
for
those
who
are
have
spoke
up
and
support,
and
thank
you
for
the
directors
for
being
here
and
collaborating
together
to
make
this
motion
and
this
amendment.
I
really
appreciate
it
so
with
that.
We
have
this
amendment
before
us
and
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
rule.
L
A
G
Thank
you
chairposky.
Yes,
I
am
introducing
an
amendment
to
the
mayor's
recommended,
a
proposal
in
the
amount
of
160
thousand
dollars
to
invest
in
expanding
our
mental
health
response
through
our
behavioral
crisis
team.
This
is
going
to
be
moving
160
000
of
the
million
dollars
recommended
for
police
to
the
city
coordinator's
office
to
acquire
these
vans
and
expand
the
behavioral
crisis
team.
G
In
late
april
we
got
our
first
presentation
and
report
out
for
the
performance
of
the
bcr
response,
and
it's
been
a
really,
I
would
say,
phenomenal.
Success.
Responding
to
1600
calls
in
just
over
three
months,
I'm
diverting
88
percent
of
those
calls
from
what
would
have
otherwise
been
a
police
response.
G
If
we
didn't
have
this
capability,
but
it's
also
important
to
note
that
we
weren't
able
to
make
it
to
several
calls,
because
we
are
operating
with
two
vans
currently
across
the
entire
city
and
by
expanding
this
we're
going
to
be
able
to
respond
to
more
calls
more
quickly,
and
this
is
really
exasperated
by
the
circumstances
of
kovid,
because
we
are
in
the
mental
health
crisis
right
now.
You
know
across
our
entire
society
but
acutely
here
in
minneapolis,
and
we're
also
dealing
with
a
lot
of
significant
supply
chain
challenges
because
of
kovid.
G
And
so,
if
we
want
to
be
able
to
expand
the
mental
health
team,
we
have
to
get
the
order
for
vans
in
right
away
because
it's
a
pretty
long
lead
time
to
get
delivery
of
of
that
equipment.
And
so
I'm
very
excited
about
this
opportunity
and
I'll
I'd.
Invite
brian
smith
up
to
speak
to
it.
If
he
so
chooses.
A
I
will
just
do
a
few
comments
and
then
we
can
ask
director
smith
to
come
up
as
well,
but
so
thank
you,
consumer
payne.
I
appreciate
this.
I'm
proud
to
be
co-authoring.
This
motion
to
me
this
motion
is
how
we,
as
the
budget
committee
and
as
a
city
council,
support
expansion
of
the
behavioral
crisis
response
teams.
A
A
In
order
for
us
to
continue
to
grow
the
behavioral
crisis,
response
teams
and
hopefully
reach
a
point
where
we
can
offer
24
7
service,
we
need
to
invest
in
the
resources
that
the
bcr
teams
will
need
to
make
that
happen,
and
so
that
is
supporting
the
addition
of
these
two
vans.
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
I
check
in
with
the
third
and
fifth
precinct
inspectors
on
a
bi-weekly
basis,
and
they
have
on
multiple
occasions,
communicated
to
me
how
much
of
an
asset
and
a
helpful
resource
the
bcr
teams
are.
A
Additionally,
I
have
on
multiple
occasions,
touch
base
with
director
smith
to
get
updates
on
the
progress
of
the
bcr
teams
and
have
been
continuously
impressed
by
their
work.
This
motion
is
something
I
enthusiastically
will
support
and
defend,
and
I
hope
we
can
count
on
our
fellow
council
members
to
do
the
same
so
with
that.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion?
D
Not
a
question
just
a
quick
comment:
I'm
happy
that
you
and
councilmember
payne
brought
this
forward.
We
had
a
presentation
in
public
health
and
safety,
and
the
team
told
us
that
this
was
a
barrier
for
them,
that
they
didn't
have
enough
transportation,
that
they
could
use
additional
support
in
that
area.
I've
also
talked
to
director
smith
about
this,
and
the
first
thing
he's
I
talked
to
him
about
additional
services
and
he
said
right
away.
We
need
more
vans.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
the
both
of
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
E
So
maybe
mr
smith
can
help
clear
us
up.
I,
with
respect
to
the
chair
of
the
public
safety
committee.
It
was
my
understanding
that
our
behavioral
crisis
teams
are
still
working
on
staffing
up
to
meet
their
current
service
level.
Expectations
of
two
teams-
working
24,
7,
seven,
all
seven
days
of
the
week.
P
P
P
We
also
with
those
two
used
vans.
If
one
of
them
is
out
of
commission
which
that
has
happened,
that
means
we
can't
provide
the
service
so
we're
the
only
911
service
right
now
in
the
city
that,
if
something
happens
to
one
of
the
vehicles,
the
public
just
doesn't
get
that
service,
because
we
don't
have
a
backup.
P
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
scaling
up
to
get
to
a
point
where
we
can
be
one
van
per
precinct,
that
if
something
happens
with
our
vans,
we
have
a
backup
because
currently
we
again
are
in
use
vans
and
we
don't
even
have
a
backup
when
we
scale
up.
So
if
we
have
money
in
the
budget
to
scale
up
to
a
third
van
and
a
fourth
van,
we
just
need
to
have
vans
for
lack
of
a
better
term
on
deck.
P
P
P
E
Madam
chair,
thank
you
and
I
thank
you
for
the
nuance
in
that
response.
I'd
like
to
think
somewhere
in
our
fleet,
we
could
retrofit
appropriate
backups
for
this.
It
is
an
important
service
that
we're
offering
I
I
do
ultimately
support
the
goal
of
having
a
dedicated
team
per
precinct,
I'd
like
to
get
that
as
soon
as
possible,
but
it
seems
like
it
would
also
be
appropriate
to
fund
these
vehicles
at
the
same
time
we're
committing
to
staffing
them
through
the
budget
process.
E
P
The
only
other
option
that
we
had
was
to
buy
used
vehicles
until
the
new
vehicles
could
be
purchased
and
retrofitted,
because
they're
customized
vehicles
they
have
to
have
lifts
for
people
who
are
in
wheelchairs
for
people
who
have
different
needs.
They
have
to
also
be
retrofitted,
for
when
we
go
out
to
the
street,
and
people
have
children
who
are
having
a
behavioral
crisis
or
something
like
that
to
be
able
to
have
a
child
seat
and
be
able
to
strap
people
in
a
chair
that
folds
up.
P
So
you
can
move
in
and
actually
have
a
conference
with
people
on
the
van.
So
it's
really
like
impossible
to
retrofit
number
one.
We
didn't
have
existing
vehicles
to
even
attempt
to
do
it
with
them.
So
right
now
we
just
snatched
chairs
out
of
stuff
and
put
tools
in
that
we
need,
but
yeah
we
attempted
that
we
just
didn't
have
the
vehicles.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
knew
that.
H
H
H
P
We
will
be
fully
staffed,
24
7
by
the
fall
at
the
latest
with
the
current
staffing
and
the
current
budget
that
we
have,
and
so,
when
those
vans
come,
we
will
be
able
to.
Those
vans
will
be
full
just
like
the
current
vans
are
full
now,
except
for
the
overnight
for
saturday
and
overnight
for
sunday,
and
so
that's
what
we're
working
on
hiring
for
now
and
going
through
the
entire
process,
background
checks
and
everything
to
make
sure
we
have
those
people.
P
H
P
H
L
A
Q
Q
Due
to
the
fear
of
of
confrontation.
We
have
nationwide
data
from
that
same
survey.
That
shows
a
disproportionate
impact
based
along
lines
of
race.
So
when
asked
if
they
had
experienced
harassment,
interrogation
or
assault
in
restrooms
36
of
american
indian
respondents,
32
percent
of
multi-racial
respondents,
29
of
asian
respondents,
29
of
middle
eastern
respondents,
28
of
latinx
respondents,
27
percent
of
black
respondents
and
50
of
undocumented
respondents,
said
yes
to
having
experienced
harassment,
interrogation
or
assault
in
restrooms
that
compares
to
25
of
white
respondents
who
who
had
experienced
the
same.
Q
This
work
has
been
developed
based
on
the
recommendations
of
the
city's
transgender
equity
council,
which
were
built
out
of
listening
sessions,
centering
black
indigenous
people
of
color,
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
residents.
Should
this
motion
pass.
Implementation
will
increase
the
number
of
safe
restrooms
for
our
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
residents
and
those
using
the
restroom
with
a
caretaker
or
with
a
parent
last
fall.
Our
council
passed
a
staff
direction,
encouraging
our
city
staff
to
research,
the
feasibility
of
requiring
all
single
stall
restrooms
and
the
city
in
city
licensed
buildings
to
be
gender
neutral.
Q
These
funds
are
going
to
cover
mailings
to
city
licensed
establishments,
encouraging
that
they
make
their
singles
to
all
restrooms,
gender-neutral
and
purchase
of
gender-neutral
restroom
signs.
In
order
to
take
that
logistical
burden
off
of
in
updating
those
signs
off
of
establishments
themselves
and
helping
alleviate
that
and
close
the
gap.
Specifically,
this
allocation
will
cover
mailings
to
be
included
in
establishment's
license
and
utility
billings,
which
encourage
encourage
them
to
put
gender-neutral,
restroom
signage
on
their
single-stall
restrooms.
Q
The
proposal
has
concrete
benefits
for
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
residents,
especially
black
indigenous
people
of
color,
who
are
trans
and
gender
nonconforming
and
residents
who
need
to
use
the
restroom
with
a
caretaker
which
often
our
residents
with
disabilities
and
or
children
using
the
restroom
with
with
a
parent.
During
our
first
budget
committee
meeting
the
minneapolis
convention
center
director,
jeff
johnson
who's
here,
presented
on
the
meet
minneapolis
budget
and
shared
the
urgent
need
to
bring
people
residents
and
visitors
to
patronize
minneapolis
businesses
as
we
recover
from
the
covet
19
pandemic.
Q
This
is
a
topic
that
tracked
trachtenberg
from
the
department
of
the
city,
coordinators,
division
of
race
and
equity
and
enrique
velazquez
from
business
licensing
in
our
ncpad,
presented
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
earlier
this
term
they're
both
here
today,
I'll
actually
ask
them
to
to
come
up
and
briefly
introduce
themselves
in
their
work
and
they'll,
be
here
to
answer
any
help,
answer
any
questions
or
add
clarity
or
layers
of
details
that
that
I
may
have
missed
so
track
and
enrique.
If
I
can
ask
you
to
come
up
and
introduce
yourselves.
R
R
I
will
just
highlight
the
transgender
equity
council,
which
is
one
of
the
city's
appointed
boards,
that
I
staff
had
their
monthly
meeting
last
week
was
really
excited
to
hear
that
this
was
in
the
arpa
proposed
amendments
and
I
think
plans
to
reach
out
to
council
to
voice
their
support
later
this
week
as
well.
But
I'm
really
excited
to
see
something.
S
Q
You
stan
for
any
questions
and
then
I'll
just
add
one
more
thing
before
we
turn
it
over
to
our
colleagues.
I
know
we
have
council
president
jenkins
and
q,
but
want
to
add
that
to
the
point
that
that
track
just
made,
it's
really
important
that
we
have
robust
appointed
boards
and
commissions
that
that
people
in
our
community
feel
like
are
a
way
for
them
to
show
up
and
participate
in
our
city
government,
and
we
make
that
stronger.
Q
When
we
take
the
input
and
the
requests
that
they
bring
to
us
and
we
fund
them,
we
turn
them
into
policy
and
we
honor
the
fact
that
people
are
volunteering
their
time
to
to
make
our
city
better.
So
this
is
one
way
for
us
to
build
trust
with
a
marginalized
community,
and
and
it's
not
that
big
of
a
lift
for
us.
So
with
that,
we
will
stand
for
questions.
A
M
M
Whenever
we
go
into
public
spaces,
we
see
long
lines
of
women
waiting
to
use
the
restrooms
and
very
brief
encounters
of
males
in
those
restrooms,
and
so
this
to
me
is
a
universal
application
that
will
have
a
tremendous
benefit
for
all
the
residents
of
minneapolis,
and
so
I
would
just
ask
councilmember
chuck
ty
if
I
would
could
be
a
co-author
of
this
motion
and
and
I'm
happy
to
support
this
either
way.
Thank
you.
M
Q
A
Okay,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
do
anything
official,
but
I
appreciate
both
of
you
supporting
this
and
co-authoring,
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
thank
council
member
chug
thai
for
bringing
this
motion
forward
and
now
co-authoring
with
president
jenkins
and
to
thank
truckenberg
and
enrique
here
for
the
amount
of
work
that
went
into
getting
this
proposal
ready,
and
I
will
wholeheartedly
be
voting
to
support
this
motion
today.
So.
M
A
L
M
A
A
That
motion
carries
all
right,
so
we
now
have
three
remaining
motions:
left
motion:
seven
from
council
member
onesie,
warlabah
motion,
seven
from
council
member
chavez
in
motion.
Eight,
oh
wait
did
I
say:
seven:
yes,
seven,
eight
from
council
member
onesie
warlabah
this
morning,
councilmember
juansay
willaba.
Let
me
know
that
she's
working
with
fellow
council
members
to
edit
motion
seven
and
motion
eight
and
would
like
consideration
of
these
motions
to
be
postponed
to
the
markup
meeting,
which
will
be
on
friday,
the
twentieth
at
ten
a.m.
Council,
member
onesie
willow.
A
J
A
A
A
So
before
we
adjourn,
I
just
want
to
remind
my
fellow
council
members
that
the
deadline
for
motions
to
be
considered
for
the
markup
meeting
on
friday
is
tomorrow,
thursday
may
19th
at
noon.
So
final
versions
of
motions
must
be
submitted
to
both
the
budget
director
and
myself.
At
that
time,
I'm
going
to
repeat
that
final
versions.
