You
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
four
items
on
our
published
agenda
today,
as
well
as
reports
of
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle.
Our
first
item
is
an
update
on
federal
legislative
activities
from
the
office
of
U.S
representative
ilhan
Omar.
We
have
representative
Omar
here
with
us
today,
herself
and
before
she
begins
I'd
like
to
invite
my
colleague
council
member
Johnson,
to
introduce
her
thank.
F
You,
madam
chair,
and
it's
just
so
exciting,
to
have
congresswoman
Omar
with
us
today.
Normally
we
would
be
meeting
in
intergovernmental
relations
to
receive
an
update
and
working
with
her
office
on
the
timing.
We
thought
it
made
sense
for
a
committee
of
the
whole
for
this,
so
we're
very
grateful
for
her
time
today.
F
So
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
that,
and
so
we're
excited
for
our
updates
today
and
just
looking
down
the
line
and
seeing
smiles
from
my
fellow
colleagues.
So
the
congresswoman
is
certainly
a
partner.
I
know
for
you
as
well,
and
so
we're
just
really
grateful
to
have
her
here
today.
So,
thank
you
congresswoman
for
being
here
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
hosting
this
space,
so
that
we
can
receive
these
updates.
E
G
Well,
thank
you
so
much
council
president
palmisano
for
for
having
me
and
thank
you
so
much
council
member
Andrew
Johnson
for
that
wonderful
introduction
good
afternoon
to
you
all
City
Council
Members.
It
is
an
honor
to
be
back
here,
I,
remember,
being
an
aide
for
council
member
Andrew
Johnson
and
doing
that
intergovernmental
work
and
helping
arrange
then
Congressman
Keith
Ellison
to
come
and
give
those
updates.
G
G
I
serve
on
the
education
and
labor
Committee
in
Congress.
I
also
serve
as
the
number
two
Democrat
on
the
budget
Committee
in
Congress
I
formally
served
on
the
foreign
affairs
committee,
but
that
work
still
continues,
as
we've
established
a
working
group
to
be
able
to
carry
on
some
of
the
work
that
we
used
to
do
on
that
committee.
Since
covet,
it's
been
really
incredible
to
partner
with
you
all
to
deliver
nearly
300
million
dollars
in
Revenue
to
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
so
that
you
all
can
deliver
a
necessary
resources
to
our
constituents.
G
G
Many
of
you
reached
out
and
said
here
are
the
things
we
need
for
you
to
work
on
in
order
for
our
communities
to
be
served,
whether
it
was
working
with
council
member
Andrew
Johnson
in
trying
to
get
emergency
services
for
folks
who
were
recipients
of
snap
making
sure
that
they
were
able
to
use
their
resources
to
order
from
online
vendors
like
Amazon
I
just
got
a
really.
Thank
you
a
grateful.
G
I've
always
said
that
we
have
to
feed
our
children's
bellies
before
we
feed
their
brains,
and
that
is
definitely
getting
done
not
only
in
Minnesota
but
six
other
states
because
of
that
work.
I
also
remember
that
we
all
worked
collectively
together,
I,
remember
Robin
and
others
Aisha
sorry
for
the
first
names
working
with
some
of
them
to
to
look
at.
How
can
we
create
a
nationwide
eviction
moratorium
and
we
were
able
to
get
that
to
get
that
done
and
fighting
for
a
student
debt
cancellation
other
works.
G
But
then
we
got
lucky
in
2020
by
electing
President
Biden
and
we
had
two
of
our
most
successful
years
as
members
of
Congress
by
passing
a
bipartisan
gun.
Violence
prevention
program
with
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
benefited
from
I
worked
with
you
all
and
the
mayor
in
delivering
50
million
dollars
in
doj
Grants
for
the
next
step
program.
G
I
also
was
able
to
to
pass
things
like
the
inflation
reduction
act.
Many
of
you
are
champions
of
our
environments
and
making
sure
that
we're
fighting
against
environmental
justice
and
we
were
able
to
deliver
resources
to
do
that
in
our
incredible
legislature,
is
matching
those
resources.
So
there's
going
to
be
incredible,
work
getting
done.
I
was
just
with
the
mayor
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
where
we're
creating
an
initiative
where
communities
are
able
to
have
the
resources
that
they
need
in
order
to
apply
for
these
grants,
because
we
all
know
the
communities
that
we
serve.
G
To
make
sure
everybody
is
being
touched,
that
there
is
collaboration
happening
across
communities,
whether
it's,
the
Native
American
community.
That
historically
been
impacted
by
addiction,
whether
it's
working
with
our
new
communities,
which
Usman
and
I
belong
to
the
Somali
community.
That
has
really
historically
never
dealt
with
with
addiction
and
struggles
in
trying
to
find
new
language
trying
to
understand,
and
as
parents
we've
been
in
the
Forefront
and
trying
to
help
a
lot
of
the
kids
that
we're
seeing
on
on
the
ground.
G
And
that
is,
is
something
that
both
feels
important
to
me
as
as
a
representative
federally,
but
also
as
a
community
member
and
and
as
a
mother,
and
really
appreciated
the
partnership
from
Jeremiah
and
an
Osman
and
and
Jamal
in
in
delivering
that.
We've
been
able
to
also
try
to
work
around
crime
prevention
and
Interruption.
G
So
we
think
of
ourselves
as
our
partners
in
in
that
regard,
trying
to
use
the
power
of
the
purse
that
Congress
has
to
try
to
direct
directly
deliver
on
behalf
of
our
communities
and
then
one
another.
Incredible
thing
happened
which
is
trying
to
bring
back
earmarks.
We
have
a
new
name
for
it.
It's
called
Community,
Project
funding.
G
You
know
if
that
works
for
the
Republicans,
then
that's
fine
with
me
and
we've
used
that
opportunity
to
really
look
at
where
in
our
communities
is
there
a
Gap
in
funding
which
Community
organizations
are
working
on
the
ground
to
address
the
critical
problems
that
we
have
in
our
communities
and
try
to
say?
Okay,
these
projects
can
be
funded.
Here's
what
you
need!
G
We
will
have
a
liaison
in
our
office
to
help
you
fill
those
grants,
a
Grant
application,
so
that
we
are
able
to
make
the
case
for
you
and
we've
now
delivered
25
projects
in
the
fifth
to
the
tune
of
41
million
dollars,
and
over
10
million
of
that
has
gone
to
just
North
Minneapolis.
It's
funding
like
the
food
incubator
at
neon.
It
is
things
like
funding
the
North
Commons
in
the
renovations
that
they
need
and
the
expansion
it
is.
G
You
know,
funding
Community
food
shelves
in
North
Minneapolis
like
Shayla,
to
try
to
make
sure
that
our
communities
are
being
served
or
looking
at
energy
sustainability
with
the
renewable
energy
projects.
So
we
are
laser,
focused
in
in
doing
that
work.
Now
we
have
10
more
projects
in
the
pipeline
and
I'm
happy
to
report.
G
It's
a
three-bedroom,
multi-family
housing
that
will
go
into
the
Seward
neighborhood,
and
that
is
my
favorite,
not
only
because
we
know
that
our
newer
communities
are
going
to
benefit
from
that
multi-family
housing
and
Seward
Specialists
is
really
important,
but
also
the
the
Project
Lead
is
a
former
High
School
classmate
of
mine,
and
so
it
just
makes
that
that
that
collaboration
more
personal,
because
we
are
able
to
bring
resources
to
the
communities
that
we
are
born
of
and
the
communities
that
that
raised
us
to
be
able
to
do
that.
G
I
know
that
most
people
think
of
the
federal
government.
As
you
know,
the
resources
it
it
provides,
but
it's
also
a
place
where
you
have
to
get
your
passport
from
it's
the
place
where,
if
you're
a
veteran,
you
apply
for
your
veteran
services
and
benefits.
It's
the
place
where
our
seniors
get
the
resources
that
they
need.
G
It's
where
folks,
who
are
living
with
disability
access
resources,
and
so
our
office
Liaisons
with
the
federal
agencies
to
directly
make
sure
those
community
members
get
the
resources
that
they
need,
and
the
other
big
thing
that
we
work
on
as
an
office
is
try
to
make
sure
your
postal
services
are
not
interrupted.
Everybody
needs
that
and
I
know.
We've
had
interruptions,
not
just
in
Minneapolis
I.
G
Think
you
and
I
council
member
Johnson
were
at
a
senior
housing
where
they
were
talking
about
some
of
that
Interruption
happy
to
report
that
we've
been
able
to
to
fix
that.
But
a
lot
of
our
other,
smaller
municipalities
are
also
struggling
with
that,
and
so,
if
you
hear
from
community
members
and
constituents
within
your
award
who
have
seen
an
interruption
in
their
delivery,
please
let
us
know,
because
we
can
try
to
expedite
and
fix
and
troubleshoot
in
that
regard.
That
goes
for
all
of
the
other
services
that
we
liaison
with
as
well.
G
The
other
thing
that
our
office
does
outside
of
those
Services
is
have
Liaisons
for
the
municipalities
that
that
we
serve
Minneapolis,
obviously
encompasses
majority
of
the
constituents
that
we
serve,
and
so
your
liaison
is
our
chief
and
our
district
director,
so
you
get
to
and
so
make
sure
that
you
are
reaching
out
to
Gene
hire
who's
here.
Where
are
you
who
is
our
district
director
and
I?
Know?
G
Many
of
you
know
Conor
McNutt,
who
is
our
chief
of
staff
to
be
able
to
expedite
whether
you
need
something
personally
as
a
constituent
or
your
constituent
reaches
out
to
you
and
doesn't
know
that
they
can
reach
out
to
us.
We
are
there
to
help
with
that.
I
will
take
some
questions
if
you
all
have
any.
H
Thank
you
so
much
congresswoman
Omar
for
being
here
and
for
your
partnership
in
continuing
to
help
the
City
of
Minneapolis
to
grow.
It's
been
a
long
journey
from
our
days
as
policy
aids
to
your
Ascension
to
the
state
house
and
now
to
our
nation's
capital,
and
so
just
want
to
really
appreciate
your
support.
H
I
do
want
to
correct
the
record
a
little
bit
since
this
is
being
recorded
and
and
transcribed
that
I
myself
am
the
council
president,
the
chair
Council
vice
president,
but
just
wanted
that
to
be
noted
in
the
transcript.
So,
but
no
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
the
support
that
you
have
brought
not
only
to
the
city
but
directly
to
Ward
8
and
the
support
for
the
Savannah
Community
Center
and
the
the
solar
panel
training.
H
B
I'll
go
ahead
and
say
it's
not
just
at
sabathany
I
really
appreciate
you
coming
out
to
every
Community
I've
received
information
about
events
that
you're
having
near
us
but
over
in
St,
Louis
Park,
but
also
you
came
and
jumped
into
one
of
my
recent
word
Forums
on
climate,
and
that
was
terrific.
I,
really
appreciate
the
work
of
you
and
director
Jean
hired
to
really
help
you
get
out
into
the
community
when
you're
in
town.
We
appreciate
that
next
we
have
council,
member
wansley.
I
Thanks
so
much
chair,
palmisano
congresswoman
Omar
have
a
couple
of
questions
in
terms
of
you
mentioned
Ira.
We
just
had
a
really
good
presentation
on
that
earlier
in
our
policy
and
government
oversight
Committee
just
around
some
opportunities
that
we
get
to
pursue
in
supporting
some
of
our
robust
climate
climate
work,
climate
change,
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
here
at
the
city.
I
Can
you
speak
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
IRA
or
the
iija
opportunities
and
and
funding
possibilities
that
you're
really
excited
about
and
would
like
to
continue?
You
know
working
in
attendant
with
the
city
on.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
that
question.
I
I
will
just
say
that
we
do
a
webinar,
so
if,
if
you
or
any
organization
or
individuals
within
your
words
is
interested,
Nikki
in
in
our
office
leads
a
webinar
so
that
people
understand
when
what
the
schedule
is
for
different
grants,
whether
people
can
individually
benefit
things
like
solar
and
that
kind
of
work,
that's
being
funded
by
the
inflation
reduction
act
or
or
it's
it's
things
like
addressing
EJ
and
harm
there.
G
There
are
just
really
fast
opportunities
for
for
folks.
There's
resilience
work
and
you
know
we
would
love
to
to
be
able
to
to
provide
that
that
webinar
to
you
all
as.
I
Well,
that
would
be
awesome.
I
know
there
was
lots
of
conversations
around
what
are
some
of
those
opportunities,
additional
opportunities
that
we
have
not
applied
to
and
it'll
be
great
if
we
get
the
information
on
that
webinar
second
question:
a
big
priority
of
my
office
and
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
number
of
our
Statewide
and
County
leaders
or
is
around
public
housing
and
I
know.
This
has
also
been
a
key
priority
of
you
in
your
office
as
well
and
just
interested
to
know.
I
You
know
what
are
some
of
the
efforts
you're
looking
to
lead
on
at
the
national
level,
especially
addressing
the
under
investment
in
section
nine
grants
and
and
addressing
the
fair
cloth
amendment
that
has
limited
our
ability
to
develop
public
housing
units,
but
would
love
to
just
hear
about
some
of
the
work
that
you're
excited
about
or
know
that's
going
to
be.
Moving
in
the
upcoming
session
around
public
housing.
G
Yeah
I
mean
I,
I,
don't
know
about
excited
but
as
as
you
and
I
have
have
talked
previously,
I
introduced
the
homes
for
all
legislation,
some
some
years
back
and
it
does
repeal
the
fair
cloth
Amendment
because
that
it
that
has
been
the
the
the
the
the
detrimental
blockage
in
building
right.
New
new
public
housing
I
know
that
we've
tried
to
get
around
it
and
find
loopholes.
G
But
we
essentially
do
need
to
actually
amend
that
in
in
order
for
us
to
have
a
robust
investment
in
building
new
public
housing.
G
With
the
current
majority,
I
can't
say,
I'm
excited
that
there
is
going
to
be
opportunities
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that.
But
if
I
were
to
think
in
the
future,
let's
say
you
know
the
next
cycle.
There
might
be
some
opportunities
if
we
are
to
get
the
house
back
and
and
maintain
the
Senate
we
nicely,
you
know,
keep
a
president
that
will
be
able
to
to
do
that
with
us.
G
There's
been
Investments
that
are
still
out
there
through
the
covet
pieces
of
legislation,
there's
pieces
within
the
inflation
reduction
act
that
invest
in
in
housing
and
we're
seeing
some
of
the
matches
that
are
happening
with
the
state.
Legislature's
passage
of
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
investments
in
in
housing
that
our
state
has
ever
had
and
I
would
say
you
know
we.
G
We
had
a
a
housing
task
force
in
the
last
three
and
a
half
years
that
use
that
was
shared
by
Mike,
Howard,
representative
Mike,
Howard
and
representative
Haisha
Gomez,
and
so
many
of
the
pieces
of
legislation
that
went
into
their
sort
of
homes
for
all
legislation
and
that
hundred
billion
dollar
investment
that
they
have
made.
G
Or
is
it
one
one
billion
dollar
investment
that
has
come
out
of
some
of
the
work
that
that
we
did
in
that
housing
task
force?
We
also
had
for
three
and
a
half
years,
a
green
New,
Deal
task
force
and
some
of
the
pieces
of
legislation
in
in
regards
to
protecting
our
our
environment
and
addressing
climate
change
that
I
pushed
for
with
the
help
of
Senator
Tina
Smith
in
the
inflation
reduction
act.
G
And
what
folks,
like
representative
horse
representative
Frank
hornstein,
have
been
able
to
push
for,
has
also
come
out
of
that
hornstein
was
the
chair
of
our
Green
New
Deal
task
force
as
well
awesome,
so
we've
been
trying
to
do
Partnerships
and
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
look
at
you
know
things
that
could
possibly
pass
on
a
federal
level,
but
also
thinking
about
what
is
it
that
Minnesota
needs
and-
and
you
know
what's
specific
to
us,
so
that
we
can
try
to
tailor
some
of
those
resources
and
legislation
here
as
well.
Awesome.
I
Yeah
I
would
definitely
love
to
keep
conversations
going
around
the
fair
clothing
way
in
which
the
City
of
Minneapolis
can
work
with
our
Statewide
delegation
to
advance
conversations
around
Amendments
repeals
of
that
because,
as
you
noted,
like
900
units
are
not
enough.
That
cap,
when
we
have
just
the
the
massive
housing
crisis
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
and
we
know
public
housing
has
been
one
of
the
most
effective
tools
towards
supporting
people
and
keeping
them
housed
and
one
of
the
most
affordable
housing
systems
we
have
in
in
the
state.
I
So
any
way
that
we
can
protect
and
expand.
That,
of
course,
would
love
to
be
in
conversations
with
you
as
you
go,
and
to
your
legislative
space
and
Advance
those
conversations
with
your
colleagues
on
the
same
aisle
or
on
the
opposite
aisle.
So
look
forward
to
being
in
touch
with
you
about
that.
Yeah.
G
We
actually
were
successful
twice
in
passing,
an
amendment
to
repeal
the
the
for
cloth
Act
and
it
died
in
in
the
Senate
it
was.
G
It
was
taken
out
and
once
we
had
the
the
trifecta
we
weren't
able
to
to
do
that
and,
and
so
I
I
do
hope
that
we
will
stay
on
it
and
we
do
plan
to
continue
to
introduce
amendments
to
different
pieces
of
legislation
to
try
to
at
least
get
that
piece
in
and
I
hope
at
some
point
that
that
we'll
go
through
I
would
say
I'm
exceptionally
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
expanded
the
level
the
number
of
vouchers
that
existed.
G
G
G
Think
some
of
you
also
put
in
a
little
bit
of
money
in
in
that
as
well
and
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
we've
done
with
the
community
funding
project
which
I'm
proud
of
for
for
my
staff
for
thinking
of
this
and
doing
this,
is
that
we
we
looked
to
people
like
representative
Lee
and
said
here's
a
list
of
things
we
funded.
G
They
they
have
gaps
so
with
the
Surplus.
Can
you
all
fill
that
and
majority
I
would
say,
like
95,
of
the
projects
that
we
funded
federally
have
received,
match
and
and
should
be
able
to
fulfill
their
goal
of
finishing
on
time.
B
J
You
councilmember
Osman.
Oh
thank
you
congresswoman
for
being
here
and
really
great
to
hear
the
work
you
have
done
for
the
community.
I
do
want
to
say
that.
Thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
public
housing.
We
have
a
lot
of
high-rise
building
here
and
most
people
that
live
in
those
Minneapolis
housing
are
vulnerable
adults
and
and
for
them
it
means
a
lot.
As
you
remember,
I
remember:
I
participated
in
a
round
table
with
secretary
fudge,
who
came
here
to
hear
directly
from
the
community,
and
you
know
City
Minneapolis.
We
have
housing
crisis.
J
You
have
seen
folks
that
aren't
housed
that
are
living
in
cold
areas
and
in
my
world
and
just
places
like
San
Francisco
is
where
we
are
assembling,
and
we
can
all
see
that
if
we
had
affordable
housing
and
people
are
housed,
their
lives
can
get
can
get
better.
We
try,
in
the
city
level,
to
you,
know,
find
different
tools
like
and
stabilization
and
and
so
on,
to
find
a
way
to
House
people
and
without
common
is,
as
you
mentioned
and
and
and
redesign
work
is
really
what
we
want
to
see.
J
A
large
apartment
comes
with.
Thank
you
for
for
your
commitment
and
I
was
also
I'll,
be
a
epidemic
I.
Thank
you.
As
you
mentioned,
we
have
in
our
community,
especially
Native
American
east
African
Community
are
dealing
with
a
lot
more
than
any
other
things
when
people
think
about
your
epidemic,
they
think
about
all
areas,
but
right
here
in
City,
Riverside
and
little
Earth
is
what
we're
dealing
with
you
know.
You
see
the
folks
that
are
dealing
with
this
and
they
need
as
much
resources
as
they
can.
J
They
can
especially
programming
education
and
normalize
in
mental
health
in
our
community.
Those
dollar
and
those
resources
are,
will
go
a
long
way.
I
can
see
the
transition
for
the
last
three
years
from
see
the
Riverside
Community
people
are
getting
educated
and
using
Narcan
training.
Now
the
moms
can
use
Narcan
training,
and
that
is
something
that
we
need
to
focus
on
more
and
lastly,
I
want
to
thank
your
office
for
really
coming
to
the
community
and
doing
immigration
Clinic.
J
You
know
we
have
money,
folks
that
are
undocumented,
that
are
dealing
with
a
lot
of
immigration
issues,
and
your
office
has
been
very
helpful
to
even
for
our
artists
to
to
make
that
connection
and
I
do
want
to
ask
you
that
I
know
the
state.
J
We
have
taken
steps
like
driver
license
for
all
and
so
on,
but
is
there
any
plan
for
undocumented
immigrants
and
it's
not
just
Southern
border,
but
people
are
coming
from
as
far
as
Africa
or
different
part
of
Europe
to
and
they're
coming
in
as
undocumented
and
and
that
struggle
is
still
happening
for
them,
not
finding
jobs
and
not
even
having
because
pandemic
brought
us
backlog
and
people
are
not
getting
the
appointments
they
need
to
get
their
Asylum
approved
and
so
on.
If
there's
anything
that
you'd
like
to
add.
K
J
G
So
to
the
to
the
opioid
thing:
I
I,
I
I
it
it
is,
it
is
I.
I
visited
a
sober
house
today
in
Columbia,
Heights
and
I
was
sharing.
They
asked
to
share.
You
know
what
it
meant
for
our
community
to
be
dealing
with
this
opioid
crisis
in
the
Fentanyl
and
and
I
share
two
two
stories.
G
One
is
the
fact
that
my
13
year
old
son,
has
lost
friends
and,
and
the
second-hand
trauma
of
of
experience
that
as
a
child
is,
is
something
that
that
no
parent
wishes
on
another,
and
second,
was
what
you
just
said:
the
the
optimistic
piece
of
of
our
community
being
able
to
recognize
that
this
is
a
problem
that
we
can't
just
sweep
it
under
the
rug
that
we
have
to
have
these
conversations.
G
We
have
to
holistically
come
together
and
we
have
to
find
the
resources
in
order
to
save
our
children's
lives
and
to
save
one
another,
and
so
thank
you
for
for
being
instrumental
in
in
that
work
as
as
well.
G
The
immigration
crisis,
really
you
know,
is,
is
different
when
you
and
I
immigrated
from
from
Africa
right.
Most
people
today
are
not
being
displaced
by
a
conflict,
they're
being
displaced
by
climate
they're,
being
displaced
by
traffickers,
and
we
are
seeing
people
at
our
Southern
border
that
are
not
Central,
Americans
or
South
Americans
we're
seeing
them
come
from
all
over
the
world
and
one
of
the
things
that
our
office
has
done.
Ali
I,
don't
know.
G
If
he's
here,
our
Deputy
District,
director
and
Nikki,
who
leads
our
immigration
work,
is
to
try
to
to
build
an
apparatus
around
immigration
attorneys
and
to
have
a
conversation
with
them
about
what
the
needs
are
to
be
able
to
directly
get
the
support
that
people
need,
because
we
understand
that,
if
you
are
arriving
in
Minnesota
Minnesota
is
not
a
state
that
is
out
there.
Thinking
about
people
who
are
Asylum
Seekers
right.
G
We
we
are
not
a
Frontline
Community,
and
so
how
do
we
get
our
immigration
resource
communities
to
now
think
of
themselves
that
way,
because
throughout
the
country
now
every
Community
is
a
Frontline
Community,
and
so
we've
worked
with
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
the
county,
and
these
immigration
attorneys
and
and
services
to
try
to
help
them
make
sure
that
they
are
filling
out
their
applications
to
seek
Asylum
correctly.
G
You,
you
and
I,
know
one
one
wrong
thing:
Can
can
get
you
deported.
There
are
people
who
have
rightful
claims
and
do
not
have
the
the
language
ability
they
don't.
They
don't
have
a
way
to
share
their
narrative.
They
don't
have
a
full
understanding
of
what
our
Asylum
systems
are.
G
They
are
not
attorneys,
so
they
can't
you
know,
represent
and
advocate
for
them
for
themselves
in
the
way
in
which
you
would
expect,
and
so
our
job
has
been
to
try
to
be
in
that
mindset
of
a
Frontline
Community
to
to
try
to
reach
and
intercept
folks,
as
the
community
identifies
them
to
us
to
say
how
can
we
help
you
get
the
resources
that
you
need
so
that
you
are
able
to
start
working
through
this
process
in
a
way
that
is
effective
and
in
a
way
that
can
try
to
make
sure
that
you
don't
end
up
in
a
Detention
Center
or
you
don't
get
deported
back,
and
so
we
can
share
a
little
bit
more
on
that.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Congresswoman
just
wanted
to
put
something
on
your
radar
since
you're.
Here
today
we
have
Canadian
Pacific
lines
that
run
through
Ward
four.
Just
today,
I
got
messages
from
parents
that
eight
buses
were
stuck
behind
the
Rail
lines
and
the
kids
couldn't
get
to
school.
On
time.
There
were
special
needs,
kids
on
the
buses,
it's
really
hot
outside.
L
So
it's
a
problem
that
my
office
has
been
working
on
for
quite
some
time,
just
wanted
to
put
on
your
radar
that
will
be
reaching
out
to
your
office
from
for
some
help
and
some
support,
and
it
is
a
top
priority
for
word.
For
I
mean
this
railroad
literally
divides
our
Ward
there's
no
way
around
it
when
we
have
traffic
other.
You
know,
projects
going
on
in
the
ward
on
94
or
Osseo
road
right
now
was
down,
and
so
it's
become
extremely
proper,
problematic.
L
We've
heard
from
emergency
vehicles
that
you
know
they've
lost
time
trying
to
get
around
and
I've
met
with
MnDOT
and
I've
also
met
with
Senator
klobuchar's
office.
But
MnDOT
did
ask
me
to
reach
out
to
your
office
at
our
last
meeting,
so
we'll
be
in
touch
and
looking
for
some
support
on
for
now.
Some
short-term
plans,
but
long
term,
some
of
the
billions
of
infrastructure
dollars
that
are
allocated
to
Railroad
lines
for
North
Minneapolis.
G
Most
certainly
thank
you
for
for
racing
that
that
concern
and
yeah
we
look
forward
to
helping
you
with
that.
Obviously,
that
is
something
that
we
can
certainly
liaison
with
and
more
so
our
our
office
for
the
delegation
does
sit
on
the
inter
relational
council
with
with
Canada,
and
so
we
should
be
able
to
work
on
on
both
sides
of
that.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
being
here,
congresswoman
and
so
really
on
it's
honor
to
serve
with
you
and
to
be
in
community
with
you
so
frequently.
Some
of
my
colleagues
have
already
touched
on
this
and
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
put
a
pin
on
it.
You
know
there's
this
major
disinvestment
in
public
housing
that
happened
around
the
Reagan
Era
and
at
the
same
time
there
is
a
huge
disinvestment
in
supportive
institutions
and
for
good
reason,
I
think.
D
At
the
time
a
lot
of
those
mental
health
institutions
had
a
lot
of
abuses,
or
just
they
were
really
poorly
managed,
but
I
see
a
big
gap
in
our
community
around
more
Supportive
Housing
in
that
regard
and
I'm.
This
is
less
a
question
and
more
of
you
know,
I'm
working
with
representative
Noor
at
the
state
level,
who's
chairing
the
Human
Services
committee,
but
I
think
the
federal
level
also
needs
to
step
up
when
it
comes
to
supportive
institutions
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
work
together
on
that
in
the
future.
G
We
were
Heights
at
motions,
supportive,
transitional
housing
and
and
it's
a
place
where
men
and
women
can
get
the
resources
that
they
need
to
both
deal
with
mental
health
crises
with
trauma
with
addiction,
and
it
also
serves
as
a
transitional
housing
as
well.
For
folks
who
were
formerly
incarcerated,
I'll
be
honest
with
you,
the
the
federal
resources
are
there,
so
you
know
I
mean
we'll
continue
to
push
for
more.
It's
about.
You
know
the
the
the
state
figuring
out.
You
know
where
those
allocations
are
going
to
be
made.
G
G
We
understood
that
there
was
a
huge
need,
and
so
there's
just
been
an
influx
of
resources,
and
it's
about
the
creativity,
creativity
of
the
state,
the
counties
and
and
the
city
in
collaboration
with
communities
that
provide
these
resources
and
trying
to
make
sure
those
resources
are
there,
and
you
know,
Muhammad
representative
Mahmoud
Noir
has
been
really
incredible
in
in
trying
to
think
that
through
representative
Hassan
as
well-
and
those
are
great
collaborations
for
you
to
be
working
with
and
I
know
that
commissioner
Conley
as
well
has
has
been
a
really
champion
in
that
space
as
well.
G
D
G
G
You
know
you
just
got
to
make
sure
that
your
state
and
your
municipalities
and
and
the
counties
that
you
represent
are
taking
advantage
of
of
of
the
resources
and-
and
you
know
we-
we
work
really
hard
to
try
to
make
sure
that
the
gaps
are
closed
in
in
that
space,
and
so
we,
you
know,
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
the
other
representatives
and
the
county
commissioner,
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
happens
as
well.
Absolutely.
M
Thank
you
manager,
congresswoman.
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
down
the
fact
that
you've
come
into
our
Chambers.
This
tells
volumes
about
your
willingness
to
work
for
us
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
your
funding
on
the
public
safety
housing
climate
and
especially
the
opioids
in
in
my
ward,
the
Third
Ward
look
forward
to
helping
other
residents
in
public
housing.
Improve
I
have
buildings
there
that
were
built
in
the
60s
and
70s.
M
They
need
Windows
roofs
flooring,
but
the
opioid
crisis
is
what
we
as
a
city
have
to
deal
with
first
and
foremost,
but
we
just
don't
have
that
help
and
to
know
that
the
federal
government
is
helping
and
I
do.
Take
your
advice
to
to
heart
that
we
have
to
work
with
the
state
in
the
county
get
those
Services
delivered,
but
nothing
is
shaping
our
city
more
than
this
drug
crisis,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
helping
on
that.
It's
it's
greatly
appreciated.
G
Of
course,
of
course,
really
appreciate
that
I
I
would
say
on
the
housing
front
as
well.
I
think
council
member
were
semi-alluded
to
to
that
earlier
that
we
had
secretary
fudge
here,
and
you
know
we
we
hope
to
to
bring
her
back,
but
does
have
a
lot
of
resources.
They've
been
able
to
to
provide
some
of
those
resources
with
with
the
request
and
the
the
creativity
of
Abdi
warsane
and
trying
to
to
ask
for
for
some
of
those
resources,
but
there's
still
more
and
I.
G
Don't
want
us
to
be
greedy
as
a
city
that
I
want
us
to
continue
to
make
the
the
real
big
asks
from
the
federal
government,
because,
if
we're
not
getting
that
those
resources,
it
means
that
there's
other
communities
that
that
are
getting
an
access
of
it
and
we
want
to
get
our
fair
share.
F
But
you
know,
I
am
so
gratefully
mentioned
the
covid
response
and
the
money
specifically
for
cities-
and
you
know
I,
want
to
emphasize
for
my
colleagues
how
desperate
that
situation
was
that
the
first
tranches
of
money
to
go
out
the
door
did
the
paper
paycheck
protection
and
the
individual
stimulus
checks.
But
a
lot
of
people
in
Congress
said
that
cities
you're
on
your
own.
F
We
owe
a
huge
debt
of
gratitude
to
you
for
that,
and
I
was
glad
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
about
how
responsive
you
are
I
agree
in
the
partnership
in
community
as
well
and
I
think
it.
It
deserves
to
be
underscored
because
it
is
a
big
deal
because
you
represent
over
700
000
residents.
You
also
hold
prominent
leadership
positions
as
well,
yet
you're
very
easy
to
get
a
hold
of.
Please
keep
that
up.
F
Please
continue
to
set
that
bar
High
because
it
really
matters,
and
it's
really
really
important
for
the
work
that
we
do
up
here
and
then
to
my
colleagues.
I
just
want
to
give
a
note
of
encouragement
to
bring
forward
those
ideas
around
what
can
happen
at
a
federal
level
to
the
congresswoman.
She
has
proven
that
she
can
get
it
done
and
one
example.
F
Yet
many
folks,
especially
those
receiving
support,
they
were
forced
to
go
out
into
the
stores
and
expose
themselves
at
a
time
when
we
didn't
know
what
was
going
to
happen
right
and
we
there
was
tremendous
fear
in
that
legislation
was
an
idea
that
came
in
from
a
constituent
we
passed
on.
You
ran
with
it
and
I
believe
it
protected.
What
about
40
million
Americans?
F
And
that's
that's
one
idea,
and
that
came
from
constituents
through,
and
so
please
continue
to.
You
know,
use
our
congresswoman
as
a
resource
for
those
ideas.
It
is
so
exciting
to
see
and
then
on
the
constituent
front.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
as
well
for
all
your
efforts
on
this
I
know.
I
had
one
constituent,
for
instance,
that
who
was
the
the
only
child
and
their
mother
had
a
heart
attack.
They
were
an
immigrant.
F
They
needed
to
be
able
to
travel,
to
go,
help
and
support
their
mother
in
another
country
and
they
were
being
told
by
our
government.
No,
they
couldn't
do
that,
couldn't
be
there
to
support
their
mother
and
you
were
able
to
step
up
and
you've
done
that
on
multiple
cases
you
and
your
team
have
been
able
to
at
a
real
individual
level,
provide
that
support
for
people
in
Minneapolis
at
some
of
their
most
desperate
important
moments,
Crossroad
moments
in
their
their
lives,
and
so
I
know
you
know.
F
Thank
you
as
well
for
the
personal
cost
that
comes
with
this
work,
and
you
know
it's
you're.
You
are
a
first,
whether
that's
what
you
chose
or
not
the
first
Somalian
Congress,
the
first
Muslim
woman
in
Congress
and
you've
got
this
tremendous
magnifying
glass
on
everything
you
say
and
do
you're
under
the
microscope.
F
You're
vilified
and
people
Target,
you
and
and
I
know,
that's
a
tremendous
cost
for
you
and
your
family,
but
you're
stepping
up
to
serve
every
day
and
I,
just
I'm
so
grateful
for
it,
and
so
as
I
wrap
up
my
time
in
office.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
that
you've
done
the
ways
that
you
lead
and
your
friendship
throughout
the
years.
G
Thank
thank
you,
so
so
much
and
and
I
I
think
to
to
Andrew's
point
I
mean
you
know
it
is
look
at
this
as
you
all
being
the
first
people
most
of
our
constituents
right,
I,
I
always
used
to
say
all
politics
is
local.
G
You
know,
Emily,
you
might
be
more
stopped
at
a
grocery
store
than
than
me
right.
I
I'm
four
days
a
week
in
in
DC
voting,
I'm
home
three
days
a
week.
I
might
not,
for
a
couple
of
weeks,
make
it
to
the
grocery,
but
you're
you're
there
on
a
daily
basis.
G
So
the
constituent,
that's
you're,
interacting
with,
might
have
a
need
and-
and
we
get
to
fulfill
fulfill,
that
need
and
so
think
about
our
office
in
that
way,
that
it
is
a
partnership
that
these
constituents
that
we
collectively
serve
I,
know
you
and
we'll
reach
out
to
you
and
like
do
not
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
us
and
there's
always
ideas
right.
We
we
co-govern,
we
collaborate
with
with
folks.
G
I
do
give
credit
if
you
do
pass
on
an
idea,
and
so
please
do
not
hesitate
to
reach
out
I
know
that
there's
many
of
you,
you
know
whether
it
is
a
council
member,
Osman
or
Jeremiah
Ellison
or
Aisha
shaktai
or
Andrew
Jensen
in
Elliott,
Payne
Jenkins.
There's
many
of
you
who
do
like
regularly
text
or
stop
me
to
say
you
know,
can
like
here's,
what
we're
working
at
City
Hall,
here's,
what
we're
stuck
on!
Can
you
look
at
this?
You
know
here's
a
talking
points
for
this
conversation.
G
I
remember
when
the
debt
ceiling
conversation
was
happening,
I
drew
is
texting
me
and
he's
like.
G
You
should
approach
it
from
this
angle
and
it's
helpful
right
because
you
know
we
we
get
stuck
in
a
bubble
of
Like
Us
Versus
Them
there,
and
we
don't
have
that
much
here,
and
so
when
you're,
just
thinking
about
human
beings
and
not
just
the
politics
of
of
the
conversation,
it
does
humanize
and
it
makes
it
easy
for
us
to
to
break
through,
and
so
yes,
please
think
of
of
us
as
partners
for
you
at
City,
Hall
and
and
reach
out.
G
It's
a
tiny
City,
not
the
tiniest
City
I
represent,
but
it's
a
tiny
City
and
you
know
we
we
make
the
rounds
to
every
city
council
that
we
represent
in
every
city
to
give
them
updates
and
get
feedback
and
be
in
in
conversations
with
them
outside
of
doing
our
mayor's
lunches
and
other
ways
to
try
to
connect
and
serve
the
the
needs
of
our
assured
constituents.
So
so
yeah,
please
reach
out
and
find
ways
to
collaborate
with
us.
B
B
B
Oh
I'm,
sorry
yeah
I
had
it
wrong.
My
apologies
item
number
two
is
our
legislative
Department
update
I
can
read
we're
going
to
be
getting
a
report
on
the
national
landscape
of
oversight
and
operation
structures
and
other
locales,
so
I
have
Mr
Andrew
Hawkins
from
the
Department
of
City
auditor
to
give
that
presentation,
but
I'll
suggest
that
our
city,
auditor,
Ryan
Patrick,
will
probably
start
us
off
go
ahead.
N
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano
council,
president
Jenkins.
If
you
recall,
this
report
was
provided
to
you
some
time
ago,
we're
now
fulfilling
the
presentation
component
of
that
and
for
that
I'm
going
to
have
Andrew
Hawkins
present
and
then
we'll
provide
just
a
very
brief
auditor
update
at
the
end
of
that
presentation.
So
without
further
ado,
it's
a
hard
act
to
follow,
but
we'll
try
our
best.
Thank.
O
O
I
can
wait
until
everybody
has
the
updated
presentation.
The
core
of
it
should
be
the
same,
as
most
of
you
probably
remember.
This
was
initially
slated
to
be
presented
to
the
Council
on
I
believe
June
28th.
There
were
a
number
of
items
that
day,
so
it
went
a
little
long,
and
so
we
ended
up
delaying
this
until
now.
O
Just
for
the
context,
this
was
initially
the
first
presentation
or
the
first
presentation
and
report
that
was
prepared
by
the
city,
Auditor's
new
office
of
policy
and
research
or
sorry
policy,
research,
division,
and
so
the
idea
with
you
know,
with
this
I
think
project
was
to
kind
of
serve
as
a
pilot
for
figuring
out
how
we
can
best.
O
You
know,
look
into
and
review
topics
that
are
identified
by
Council
and
come
back
and
provide
kind
of
a
high
level
landscape
analysis
again
kind
of
using
the
analogy
of
the
you
know:
50
000
feet,
you
know
overview
I,
think
that's
what
this
was
intended
to
be.
You
know
we
identified
a
number
of
cities
in
terms
of
the
scope
of
review
to
kind
of
get
an
idea
for
what's
out
there.
As
far
as
you
know,
what
what
are
their
legislative
operations
look
like
and
then
kind
of?
O
How
do
they
compare
to
what
we
currently
see
in
the
city?
You
know
the
intent
was
not
to
be
prescriptive.
This
isn't
you
know
that
we're
going
to
look
at
this
city,
and
this
is
what
we
should
adopt,
or
this
city
has
something
that's
worse
or
better.
It's
I
think
it
really
simply
was
just
to
understand
kind
of
what's
out
there
and
how
is
everybody
else
doing
this
work
as
we
find
ourselves
in
this?
You
know
new
government
structure
so
that
we
can
kind
of
best
situate.
O
Again,
just
getting
into
definitions,
the
way
that
we
chose
to
split
out
these
kind
of
the
various
functions
and
roles
that
we
see
within
a
legislative
Department
that
I
believe
have
been
kind
of
adopted.
More
broadly
now
for
us,
as
we
talk
about
this
work
as
a
whole,
we're
into
two
groups,
one
of
them
is
legislative
oversight,
and
that
would
be
any
entity
responsible.
O
You
know
or
reporting
to
council
or
another
non-administrative
body
that
provides
research
oversight,
audits,
investigations
again
any
other
service
intended
to
review
and
provide
information,
that's
necessary
for
you
all
to
ensure
there's
accountability
for
the
operations
of
City
programs.
The
other
component
would
be
legislative
operations
and
that's
going
to
be
any
entity,
that's
responsible
to
council
or
other
non-administrative
bonding
that
provides
services
necessary
for
the
successful
operation
of
the
legislative
process,
records
management,
civic
participation
and
then
indirect
support
of
all
of
your
offices.
O
O
To
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
cities
that
we
looked
at
the
average
population
of
the
cities
with
681
000.
As
far
as
census
regions,
we
had
five
that
fell
within
the
West
three
of
those
Pacific
two
mountain
three
in
the
midwest
three
in
the
Northeast
and
three
in
the
South.
O
We
tried
kind
of
deliberately
just
to
pull
from
a
number
of
areas
across
the
country
just
to
see
if
there's
kind
of
a
need
now
clear
patterns
or
Trends,
with
how
operations
you
know
exist
in
one
part
of
the
country
that
they
may
not
in
another
city
council
size,
a
familiar
number
to
all
of
you.
13
was
actually
the
average
Council
size
for
what
we
looked
at.
O
I
was
also
looking
forward
to
some
of
the
revisions
that
are
happening
in
some
of
the
cities
where
they
were
revising
their
structures
and
how
many
council
members
may
be
allocated
and
then
removing
Nashville.
That
was
a
temporary
city
council,
City
County
operation
at
head
40..
O
Looking
at
the
some
of
the
general
numbers
for
legislative
oversight
in
terms
of
a
policy
and
research
function,
there
was
11.
11.6
was
like
the
average
FTE
that
was
allocated
to
divisions,
departments
kind
of
within
that
Council
legislative
structure
that
had
some
some
form
of
responsibility
for
legislative
analysis,
policy
policy,
making
policy,
research,
fiscal
research
as
well
as
any
oversight
component
and
then
80
of
the
cities
that
we
reviewed
had
clearly
established
offices
for
Council
policy
and
or
fiscal
research
and
Analysis.
O
There
were
some
cases
that
we
can
get
into
later,
where
there
was
a
clear
delineation
between
those
functions
or
some,
where
it's
merged,
there's
some,
where
it's
part
of
maybe
a
larger
body,
that
kind
of
encompasses
what
might
be
three
different
groups
within
our
city
or
any
others,
but
that's
something
we
can
break
down
as
we
continue
on
the
office
of
City
auditor
and
again,
this
was
an
attempt
to
capture
what
you
probably
know
to
be
the
internal
audit
function
within
the
division
of
internal
audit.
O
Looking
at
the
legislative
operations
for
what
encompasses
kind
of
something
similar
to
what
we
see
with
the
clerk's
office
function,
I
was
45
was
the
average
FTE,
and
that
includes
records
and
elections
offices.
One
of
the
things
that
definitely
jumped
out
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
there
was
an
increased
focus
on
data,
transparency
and
election
Integrity
for
reasons
I'm
sure.
But
you
know
very
clear
to
everybody.
O
That's
been
a
very
heightened
area
Focus
over
the
last
few
years,
so
that
did
seem
to
be
an
area
that
was
being
built
out
based
on
just
review
of
budgets
and
presentations
that
were
coming
out
of
these
groups
and
very
in
the
various
cities
that
we
looked
at
for
Council
offices.
The
average
was
50
as
far
as
the
FTE
allocations.
O
We
did
try
to
remove
council
members
when
we
were
able
to
just
so
that
we
could
isolate
the
actual
dedicated
staff
and
then
again
removing
San
Diego
is
a
bit
of
an
outlier,
so
removing
that
it
does
go
down
to
42
FTE.
A
distinct
Administrative
Office
for
Council
was
one
of
the
common
threads
that
we
found
just
to
centralize.
The
operations
of
sort
of
the
administrative
operation
of
council
and
I
believe
that's
actually
something
that
the
city
is
currently
pursuing.
O
So
that's
good
news
we're
on
track
there,
but
again,
I
think
a
lot
of
this.
It
ranged
into
where
it
was
located
between
office
of
council,
presidents,
Central,
Council
offices,
city
clerk
again
so
just
kind
of
reinforcing
that
I
think
it's
potentially
less
important,
where
some
of
the
things
are
located
and
more
important
understand
what
their
role
is,
who
they
report
to
and
what
their
kind
of
responsible
scope
of
authority
is.
O
Now
we
can
get
into
more
of
the
details
again
with
this
I
understand
it's.
This
is
a
lot
of
information.
This
isn't
kind
of
intended
to
be
that
very
high
level
overview.
If
anybody
has
any
questions,
I'm
absolutely
happy
to
stop
during
the
course
of
the
presentation
and
speak
to
what
I
can
we
also
I
know?
I
would
certainly
suspect
that
there
might
be
some.
You
know.
O
Follow-Up
requests
after
this
that
might
want
to
you,
know,
I,
think,
isolate
and
build
out
on
some
components
of
this
that
might
be
of
interest
to
the
council.
So.
B
You
might
want
me
to
stop
you
as
there
might
be.
O
So,
looking
at
the
city
and
legislative
structure
overview,
like
I
said
we
looked
at
14
cities
15,
including
our
own.
As
far
you
know
in
terms
of
population
it
you
know
it
does
vary
up
and
down.
We
have
a
number
of
cities
that
are
going
to
be
larger
and
we
have
a
number
of
cities
that
are
going
to
be
smaller.
This
is
to
reinforce
my
point.
That's
why
this
wasn't
intended
to
be
prescriptive.
O
We
understand
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
differences
across
cities
as
far
as
what
their
Scopes
and
responsibility
are.
You
know
what
their
populations
look
like,
what
their
constituency
looks
like,
but
it
still
does
help
to
understand.
I
mean
if
you
break
it
down
per
capita.
You
know
what
we're
looking
at
in
terms
of
what
they're
allocating
towards
these
different
functions.
O
For
the
legislative
oversight
overview,
this
is
one
where
you
can
kind
of
see
that
you
know
this
is
an
attempt
to
break
down
what
we
currently
have
both
in
the
city,
as
well
as
across
the
board,
with
some
of
these
other
localities
that
we
looked
at
under
the
policy
and
research
and
fiscal
oversight
umbrellas.
This
is
something
I
alluded
to
previously.
You
see
that
there
is
I
mean
again
starting
with
San
Diego.
We
have
the
office
of
the
independent
budget.
O
Analyst
that's
responsible
for
review
of
the
budget
following
the
budget
office
under
the
mayor's
office.
Preparing
it
I
mean
I
feel
like
something
that
we're
again
very
familiar
with.
O
You
have
the
office
of
central
staff
in
Seattle,
which
is
one
kind
of
one
of
those
combined
another
one
of
those
combined
offices
where
you
have
a
policy
and
research
component
that
can
either
be
tied
into
the
budget
or
it
can.
It
can
exist
independently,
but
it's
again
under
one
umbrella,
because
that
group's
also
doing
that
analysis
of
again
that
kind
of
fiscal
monitoring,
monitoring
and
evaluation
review
of
the
budget
after
it's
been.
You
know
after
the
mayor's
budget
has
been
presented.
So
there's
some
things
in
there.
O
That
I
think
we
see
that
are
similar
to
some
structures
that
we
either
have
or
are
in
the
process
of
building
out
right
now
within
our
own
City,
but
yeah
again
going
back.
We
have
the
console,
Services
legislative
reference,
you
know
in
Baltimore
and
Milwaukee,
then
we
have
a
number
of
cities
where
they
actually
did
have
more
of
a
delineation
between
the
policy
and
research
and
the
the
fiscal
oversight
component
with
Columbus
New
Orleans
Jacksonville,
and
that's
where
you
have
again
the
treasurer
function
that
exists
under
console.
O
You
have
a
council
fiscal
office
in
New
Orleans,
that's
responsible
for
providing
that
fiscal
analysis
on
behalf
of
council
once
the
budget
has
made
its
way
to
them:
Albuquerque
policy,
evaluation
and
development
services.
That's
one
of
the
ones
I
talked
about
where
it's
kind
of
that
part
of
the
larger
Council
services
that
encompasses
some
of
the
functions.
I
think
you'd
see
more
in
our
clerk's
office
within
the
city.
O
Just
so
again,
just
reinforcing
that
I
think
it
matters
a
lot
less
where
things
necessarily
fall
as
opposed
to
understanding
what
they
do
and
where
their
reporting
structures
are
looking
at
audit.
Again,
this
is
one
we're
up
and
down.
It
does
vary.
You
know
quite
a
bit.
There
are
a
number
of
places
where
you
know
I
think
audit
itself
can
be
located.
You
know
either
independently
under
Council
or
somewhere
it's
under
the
executive.
But
then
you
know
the
thing
that
remained
common
across
the
board
is
that
it
has
that
independent
reporting
function.
O
So
you
know
that's
the
whole
orc
church
can
be
deceiving
at
times,
so
I
think
it's
always
important
to
understand
where
some
of
these
you
know
where
some
of
these
things
fall
doesn't
necessarily
reflect
where
their
lines
are,
reporting
might
exist
and
then
that,
again,
that
additional
auditing
or
investigative
Authority,
that
was
one
two
up
and
down,
can
very
wildly.
We
have
a
number.
There
are
a
couple
of
cities
where
they
have
an
inspector
General
function.
O
That
might
might
be
one
person,
two
people
and
you
know
a
number
where
there
were
very
similar
entities.
O
You
know
that
you
know
may
overlap
at
some
point
as
far
as
what
they're
looking
at
in
terms
of
you
know
whether
it's
investigation
of
fraud,
waste
and
abuse
like
that
might
be
overseen
by
audit,
but
it
could
also
be
overseen
by
their
Inspector
General
function
and
then
there's
also
some
of
these.
Where
you
know
the
actual
audit
group
might
be
a
subset
of
you
know
an
ombudsman
or
a
controller,
or
something
like
that,
where
they
just
elected
to
locate
it
there
for
whatever
reason,
but
the
function
remained
the
same.
O
And
then
again,
going
into
just
a
legislative
operations
overview,
we
tried
to
pull
out
again
as
much
as
we
can
through
a
pretty
comprehensive
review
of
again
materials
that
were
produced
by
you
know
each
of
these
cities
by
multiple
budgets.
O
You
know
articles
kind
of
everything
that
was
available
to
try
to
capture
as
clear
a
picture
of
this
as
possible.
You
do
see
again,
we
have
you
know
with
the
clerk's
office
function
and
Council
FTE.
There
were
times
where
some
of
those
are.
O
You
know
co-mingled
within
one
part
of
either
Council
or
clerk,
but
provide
that
similar
service
and
then
the
other
one
will
be
pulled
out
where
we
were
able
to
was
elections,
and
this
one
is
again
there's
some
that
kind
of
a
head
scratch
here
where
you
know
you
have
again
like
elections
in
Nashville
38,
but
then
there's
also
allocations,
I,
think
that
are
coming
in
from
different
parts
of
whether
it's
a
county
or
state,
because
then
you
jump
down
to
Denver
and
it
goes
up
to
101.,
so
I
think
it
again.
O
O
And
then
just
getting
into
the
takeaways
there
were
a
couple
of
things.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
stressed
before
wrapping
this
up,
and
one
of
them
is
that
the
role
of
legislative
oversight
can
take
a
lot
of
different
forms.
Like
I
said
there,
you
know,
there's
a
number
of
different
names
that
are
thrown
out
there
in
terms
of
who's
responsible.
For
you
know
the
investigations
of
fraud,
waste
and
abuse
audits
policy,
and
you
know,
like
who's,
researching
policy
who's.
O
Looking
at
the
financial
aspect,
you
know
of
the
operations
of
a
city,
you
know,
Additionally,
you
know,
adding
resources
to
a
legislative
body
is
a
very
distinct
process,
I
think
across
the
board.
Looking
at
these
cities,
the
addition
of
something
somewhere
does
not
mean
the
removal
of
it
somewhere
else
again.
It
certainly
can
but
I
think
that's
something
that
I
did
want
to
note,
because
I
feel
like
so
often
it's
you
know
where
we.
O
When
we
look
at
things,
we
look
at
them
from
the
scope
of
overlap
and
it's
like
well,
that's
you
know,
that's
what
I
do,
but
a
lot
of
these
cities
have
been
very
good
on,
especially
the
Departments
when
you
go
to
the
whether
it's
their
website
their
budget
language,
with
making
it
very
clear
that
you
know
that.
Well,
they
might
do
something
very
similar.
O
Here's
you
know
there's
a
clear
line
of
when
something
might
end
when
they
might
take
over
and
who
they're
reporting
it
to
and
what
their
function
is
and
then
I
think
that
the
key
part
of
that
is
actually.
You
know
the
third
ball
that
I
want
to
hit
on,
and
that's
that
groups
can't
operate
in
a
vacuum.
The
need
for
collaboration
across
an
Enterprise
was
a
consistent
finding.
If
you
have,
you
know
some
of
these
structures,
you
had
the
executive
budget
office
that
prepares
the
mayor's
budget,
and
then
you
had
a
Council
budget
office.
O
That's
responsible
for
the
handoff,
like
those
two
groups,
are
still
collaborating.
You
know
the
entire
time,
while
the
budget's
being
developed,
otherwise
you're
handing
something
off
and
you're
kind
of
forcing
the
other
group
to
start
at
you
know
step
one
at
which
point
things
can
become
adversarial,
understandably
very
quickly.
So
I
think
that
you
know
the
more
that
these
groups
were
able
to
collaborate,
the
more
successful
it
seemed
like
they
were.
O
As
far
as
understanding
kind
of
you
know,
even
though
you
do
something
similar,
it's
like
I've
done
my
job
I'm
handing
this
off
to
you
or
the
ability
to
support
you
know
more
broadly
across
an
Enterprise
was
something
that
seemed
like
it
was
fairly
critical
and
then
the
last
piece
is
just
continuous
Improvement
and
continuation.
Earth
I'm
sorry
start
that
over
continuous,
continuous
evaluation
and
Improvement
allows
structures
to
evolve,
and
so
I
think
the
idea
behind.
That
is
some
of
that.
O
You
know
whether
it's
through
the
policy
lens
or
through
the
you
know
the
oversight
and
evaluation
lens
that
this
you
know,
we're
never
done.
I
think
you
know
the
idea
behind
a
lot
of
this
work
is
to
understand
what's
out
there,
so
that
I
think
you
all
can
be.
You
know
in
the
best
position
to
you,
know,
adopt
the
structures
that
are
necessary
in
order
to
do
the
work
that
you're
all
tasked
with
doing.
However,
once
we
Implement
those
changes,
it's
you
know
it's
critical
to
note
that
that's
not
the
end
of
it.
O
I
mean
at
that
point.
There
needs
to
be
this
continuous
review
process
where
we're
able
to
identify
where
things
are
working
where
they're
not-
and
you
know
where
we
can
go
from
here
in
order
to
continue
to
build
this
out
to
be
as
effective
as
it
possibly
can.
O
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
I'm
over
here
trying
to
import
your
PDF
tables
so
because
I,
what
I
really
want
to
see
is
I
want
to
try
to
compare
apples
to
apples
as
much
as
possible.
So
I'd
love
to
see.
D
You
know
some
ratios
of
number
of
Staff
per
council
member
number
number
of
Staff
per,
you
know
capita
and
then
maybe
number
of
Staff
per.
You
know
dollar
of
budget
right
like
so.
What's
the
budget
difference
between
each
of
these
jurisdictions
and
then,
given
that
as
a
proxy
for
the
overall
workload,
it
means
a
rough
rough
proxy,
but
that
would
be
something
I'd
be
interested
to
see.
Society
there
just
take
your
raw
spreadsheet
information
and
start
doing
the
math
myself
or,
if
that's
something
that
could
be
easily
put
together.
O
No
council
member
paint
I
have
like
I,
definitely
appreciate
the
question
and
of
good
news.
Some
of
it
will
be
covered
by
the
city
auditor,
just
a
more
continuing
to
build
up
the
website
for
our
group
and
one
of
the
things
specific
to
this
project
kind
of
serving
as
that
pilot,
and
knowing
that
it's
very
data
heavy
and
there's
a
lot
of
that
breakdown.
That's
going
to
be
helpful.
O
This
is
something
we're
trying
to
create
a
data
dashboard
for
it
that
will
allow
you
to
do
all
of
that
where
you
can
adjust
per
capita,
you
can
adjust
per
budget
and
with
the
idea
being
that
a
it's
probably
quite
helpful
for
this
in
general,
but
also
just
to
see
certified
how
that's
received
by
the
council
in
terms
of
if
this
is
something
that
we'd
like
to
see
going
forward.
As
we
do
these,
you
know
continued
research
reports
that
you
know
usually
will
be
fairly
data
heavy.
O
Does
it
help
to
kind
of
provide
that
independent
ability
for
Council
to
sort
of
sit
with
it
themselves
and
break
it
down
in
those
various
aspects?
So
that's
absolutely
I
mean
you're
more
than
welcome
to
start
on
your
honesty
if
it
matches
up,
but
that's
something
that
we're
working
on
right
now.
Yeah.
N
Thank
you,
chair,
Paul
Masano.
Just
a
brief
update
from
the
city
auditor
related
to
kind
of
ongoing
motion.
We
have
to
report
back
on
our
activities
and
developments
for
the
policy
and
research
division.
You
all
received
the
email
for
me
with
the
link
to
the
standardized
request
process
for
services,
the
consultations
policy
briefings
Etc
again.
N
In
those
conversations
we
had
about
legislative
process,
one
of
the
things
that
repeatedly
came
up
was
an
easy
on
Route
into
it,
so
that
that
link
and
that
that
smartsheet,
that
it
takes
you
to
should
be
an
easy
way
for
us
to
set
up
a
consultation
when
you're
ready
to
chat
with
us
about
work.
N
We
are
in
the
process
of
figuring
out
how
we
can
provide
staff
support
to
committees
recognizing
we
have
a
limited
number
of
staff
and
a
lot
of
work
goes
on
in
the
Committees,
those
being
the
Workhorse
of
the
council,
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
support
that
and
figuring
out
that
process
now
we're
working
on
policy
and
procedure,
documentation
to
kind
of
be
the
undergrad
for
how
we
do
this
work.
N
Consistent
work,
product
and
transparency
tends
to
follow
when
you
have
plans
and
procedures
for
what
you're
doing
so
documenting
the
process
as
we
test
it
out
really
important
to
us
and
we're
working
on
that
currently
and
Mr
Hawkins
mentioned
the
new
web
page
we're
working
on
a
complete
website,
revision
for
our
city
auditor,
page
easier
way
to
house
reports
more
interactive
components
when
possible
for
reports,
so
that
is
in
the
works,
hopefully
to
be
complete
in
the
near
future.
N
You
saw
those
positions
both
in
what
you
recommended
to
the
mayor
and
what
was
recommended
back
so
now
we
have
kind
of
that
work
delineated
in
into
the
budget
work
plan,
so
assisting
the
budget
committee
chair
to
develop
the
framework
timeline,
Key
activities
for
the
current
budget
committee
and
then
aligning
a
potential
budget
committee
work
plan
with
the
Charger
and
required
steps
of
the
council
to
see
how
we
can
and
the
consultant
we
have
for
assistance
with
financial
analysis,
can
best
support
the
council
and
its
General
budget
process
and
primarily
been
working
with
a
budget
chair
on
those
activities
really
working
to
break
that
work
out
and
delineate.
N
Those
two
two
separate
functions
in
the
coming
months
with
that
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
our
update,
any
other
new
ones
that
came
up.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
appreciate
the
updates.
I
was
curious.
How
many
web
forms
submissions
you've
received
from
Council
Members
so
far
on
your
intake
process,
it's.
N
F
Yeah,
that's
fair,
you
know,
and
I
might
just
offer
some
encouragement
of
to
evaluate
that
process.
I'm
sure
you
will
but
I
know,
I
had
looked
at
it
because
I've
been
thinking
of
a
couple
of
things
and
didn't
know
if
they
fit
neatly
in
one
box
or
the
other,
and
then
there
was
an
email
address.
F
I
could
reach
out
to
for
additional
Consulting,
and
you
know
at
least
from
my
personal
standpoint
and
granted
I'm,
not
everyone
up
here,
because
I've
been
I've
been
around
for
a
fairly
long
time,
so
I'm
used
to
doing
it
a
certain
way
but
I
think
especially
with
a
new
process
like
this,
the
more
hand-holding,
probably
the
better,
because
so
much
of
probably
how
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
operate.
F
If
they're
like
me,
is
just
picking
up
the
phone
and
talking
with
somebody
more
informally,
rather
than
submitting
formal
requests
for
things
and
filling
out
different
boxes
and
trying
to
pack
it
in
one
versus
the
other
in
estimating
hours,
and
so
there
there
might
be
a
way
to
transition
more
so
into
the
form.
But
that's
just
my
personal
take
on
it
and
it
sounds
like
you'll.
Continue
to
evaluate
which
I
evaluate
which
I
think
is
great.
N
Yeah
I'm
chair
palmisano
and
council
member
Johnson.
Yes,
we
thought
about
it
from
a
Data,
Tracking
standpoint
kind
of
a
Work
Management,
but
we'll
continue
to
refine
it
and
we
sent
out
that
explainer
along
with
it,
but
more
more
hand-holding.
We're
we're
always
here.
If
you
want
to
give
us
a
call
team
stop
by
the
office,
we're
here
to
help
so
happy
to
walk
anyone
through
it
and
and
figure
out
what
what
tools
work
for
you,
because
that's
we're
here
to
support
you.
That's
not
the
right
way!
M
Thank
you
manager,
my
I'm,
having
some
I.T
problems
today,
so
I
can't
queue
up,
but
just
a
a
brief
question.
It
appears
that
in
our
budget
process,
we're
transitioning
from
kind
of
a
top-down
approach
where
the
mayor
does
it
and
it
gives
it
to
us
to
react
and
what
I'm
reading
between
the
lines
is
that
we
need
to
collaborate
more
in
earlier
with
the
mirror
on
the
budget.
Is
that
a
fair
statement
to
make.
N
It's
a
great
question
and
I,
don't
know
necessarily
I'd
I'd
phrase
it
that
way,
I
think
as
we
build
out
our
resources
to
support
you
in
the
budget
process,
you'll
have
more
opportunities
for
collaboration,
so
us
and
the
city
auditor's
office,
whether
we're
working
on
audit
projects
or
policy
and
research,
everything
centers
around
collaboration.
We
have
to
work
with
the
administration
as
they're,
frequently
the
holders
of
the
data
they're
the
people
working
directly
on
those
things.
N
So
as
our
work
and
whether
it's
policy
and
research
or
oversight
and
evaluation
work
happens,
continuing
to
Foster
that
sense
of
collaboration
to
to
get
you
the
information
you
need
in
that
independent
way,
it's
going
to
be
absolutely
necessary.
We're
still
building
out
that
process.
Very
much,
though
thank.
M
I
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano,
this
cross
com,
comparison
and
Analysis
of
respective
cities
and
their
legislative
departments
is
a
extremely
helpful
tool
as
we're
working
to
build
up
our
own
legislative
Department.
I
The
information
in
the
presentation
also
showed
that
we're
still
pretty
far
behind
many
of
our
peers
when
it
comes
to
Staffing
in
particular,
and
how
that
then
can
impact
I
would
love
to
see
that
broken
down
to
of
the
house.
Staffing
ratios
someone
to
build
upon
council
member
Payne's
comments.
I
How
that
also
factors
into
you
know
impacts
on
delivering
of
policy
that
protects
the
health
and
safety
and
economic
stability
of
those
respective
cities,
from
being
able
to
have
fiscal,
analyzes
done
and
all
those
things,
but
I
believe
this
made
it
clear
that
we're
still
starting
still
very
much
at
the
beginning
of
this
process
and
as
we're
continuing
to
talk
about
how
we're
building
up
our
legislative,
Department
I'll
love
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
how
other
cities
are
also
conducting
legislative
oversight.
I
This
is
a
area
of
council
Authority,
which
I
think
was
somewhat
highlighted
even
in
this
presentation.
That
seems
to
be
the
least
developed
right
now,
and
oversight
still
feels
fairly
like
a
vague
concept,
and
it's
not
always
clear
how
we
use
that
within
our
own
authorities
as
council
members,
and
how
does
that
factor
into
working
with
our
legislative
Department.
I
So
just
thinking
of
you
know
are
there
mechanisms
that
you
came
across,
that
other
cities
are
you
leaning
into,
and
you
know
exercising
that
particular
arm
of
their
Authority,
especially
making
sure
that
we're
in
compliance
with
our
legislative
work
I
just
know
recently
we
had
a
constituent
reach
out
to
our
office
about
public
report
requirements
around
the
ccpo
ordinance
that
have
not
been
met
for
several
months
and
just
thinking
of
like
that's
another
example
of
legislation
where
it
was
passed
and
then
right
now
it
feels
like
it's
out
of
compliance
on
the
executive
side,
so
not
sure
how
we
will
we
go
about
correcting
that,
outside
of
just
being
like
Oh
forwarding
an
email
to
like
a
department
head,
so
would
love
to
know
how
other
cities
are
somewhat
addressing
like
that
middle
ground
of,
like
you,
do
your
jobs.
I
N
And
chair
palmisano
council
member
wansley,
we've
been
thinking
about
it
kind
of.
N
At
this
moment,
with
the
resources
that
we
have
hide
closer
to
the
budget
process,
so
for
our
limited
resources,
the
Professional
Services
dollars
were
very
closely
tied
to
assisting
the
council
with
its
oversight
responsibilities
as
it
pertains
to
the
budget,
how
we
build
Out
Future
structures.
Certainly
a
number
of
other
cities
have
have
have
varying
kind
of
departments,
divisions
within
their
their
legislative
side
of
the
aisle
that
perform
oversight,
functions
and
distinguishing
that
from
audit
you
know
is
important
to
audit
is
a
different
tool.
N
It's
not
necessarily
a
tool
of
the
council,
but
it
does
provide
useful
information
to
council.
There
are
more
direct
oversight,
mechanisms,
tied
tied
to
legislative
functions,
and
so
you
see
some
of
those
appear
in
the
report.
Mr
Hawkins
has
certainly
wrote
the
report
so
he's
far
more
experienced
in
that
regard
than
I
am,
but
to
say
that
that
is
something
that
we
will
build
out
over
time.
I
know
when
we
initially
were
drafting
the
government
structure,
changes
and
the
Omnibus
ordinance.
N
There
were
a
number
of
changes
kind
of
at
the
end
and
we
still
had
that
that
term
oversight
and
support
of
the
budget
within
the
city,
Auditor's
policy
and
research
division.
So
as
we
clarify
those
things
and
start
divving
up
kind
of
what
goes
where,
where
we
provide
that
support,
I
think
it'll
become
that
much
clearer
over
time.
I
And
just
for
clarification,
there
weren't
mechanisms
for
some
of
the
other
cities
that
you
examined
where
they
do.
Let's
say:
yes,
they
have
budget,
that's
where
they're
leaning
in
and
it
seems
like
you
all-
are
going
to
be
focusing
your
time
with
our
legislative
Department
around
the
budget
piece
in
terms
of
legislation.
You
mentioned
that
kind
of
a
TBD
on
our
end,
but
are
there
other
cities
that
are
or
have
models
in
place
or
infrastructures
where
they
are
doing
that
oversight?
Yeah.
N
I
think
certainly
initially
on
budget
right
now,
because
that's
what
that's
where
we're
at,
but
in
the
future,
more
of
a
focus
on
the
impacts
of
policy
and
legislation
is
certainly
something
that
oversight
could
tackle
again.
I'm
going
to
defer
to
Mr
Hawkins
more
for
details
from
the
report.
O
How
can
we
craft
this?
What
does
this
look
like?
What
might
it
cost
once
something
once
something
is
implemented?
That's
where
you
have
that
oversight
piece
that
comes
in
and
that's
where
it's
going
to
be
tied
to
the
fact
that
you
don't
you
have
you
know
budgetary
Authority,
and
so
that's
where
I
think
the
evaluation
comes
in.
Is
you
know
at
some
point
whether
it's
six
months
a
year?
You
know
two
years,
you
know
where
you're
going
back.
It's
like
okay,
we
did.
The
thing
you
know
now
is
the
thing
working.
O
What
do
the
thing
caused?
Is
the
thing
doing
what
we
wanted
it
to
and
so
I
would
think
you
know.
Ultimately
that
would
probably
be
where
we're
you
know
hopefully
aspire
to
go
in
terms
of
where
other
cities
are
currently
at
I
think
it
does
vary
depending
on
I.
Think
the
entity
you're
looking
at
with
some
of
their
like
Council
fiscal
offices,
you'll
see
them
working
with
and
even
some
of
them.
You
know,
they'll
work
they'll
still
work
directly
with
the
kind
of
that
overarching
budget
Department
in
terms
of
doing
the
evalu.
O
You
know
the
ongoing
evaluations
of
a
program.
You
know
where
it's
like.
We
need
this.
Much
for
the
you
know.
I
need
this
much
to
run
my
program.
You
know
you
sign
off,
they
get
the
money.
What
happens
so,
six
months
later,
it's
kind
of
coming
back
before
you
know
with
a
budget
committee,
you
know
Council,
whoever
it
might
be
and
having
to
kind
of
walk
through
whether
it's
the
individual
department
or
whether
it's
that
actual
group
that's
like
well,
we
looked
at
this
they've
spent
this
much.
O
Here's
where
we
thought
we'd
be
here's
where
we're
at
so
I
think
that
you
know
with
resources,
obviously
comes
more
of
the
ability
to
do
that
on
a
more
consistent
basis.
Also
I
mean
it
probably
comes
no
surprise,
but
with
an
increased
focus
on
public
safety
and
accountability.
You
do
see
a
number
of
these
IG
departments
I
previously
presented
to
all
of
you
on
a
consent,
decree
landscape.
O
Those
are
things
that
came
out
of
either
consent,
decrees
or
you
know,
incidents
or
I
think
you
know
resident
demand
where
they
built
out
kind
of
this
oversight
function.
That's
just
kind
of
that
additional
piece.
O
O
So
that's
certainly
something
that
we
saw
I
know
again
like
Seattle's
one
that
comes
to
mind.
That
came
right
out
of
the
consent
decree
where
they
built
out
that
IG
function.
That
was
kind
of
part
of
that
overall
accountability
process.
O
But
then
I
think
there
were
a
number
of
other
ones.
Whether
I
think
Bono
Baltimore,
which
was
another
city
I've
talked
to
you
about,
has
that
IG
function.
O
N
I
think
also
just
one
last
point
on
that
we
do
have
that
office
of
Performance
Management
or
Performance
Management
Innovation,
so
we're
not
here
to
replace
departments
themselves
doing
their
own
evaluations,
creating
their
own
metrics
work
plans.
This
is
more
more
tailored
to
council's
needs.
So
just
want
to
be
clear
too,
that
respecting
that
work
and
that
ongoing
development
of
that
function
gonna
serve
a
lot
of
good
tools
for
metrics
and
and
performance.
So.
B
Awesome.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation,
I'm,
not
seeing
anybody
else
in
queue
or
down
the
line,
so
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
file
that
report.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
We're
going
to
be
taking
items
number
three
and
four
together
since
they're
related
item
number
three
is
receiving
and
filing
a
report
on
potential
options
for
co-locating
the
police
department
currently
assigned
to
the
third
precinct
item.
Four
is
authorizing
an
amendment
to
the
purchase
agreement,
parking
lease,
reciprocal
easement
and
operating
agreement
and
related
agreements
with
the
11
11
Partners
LLC
for
the
turnkey
acquisition
of
a
new
first
Precinct
Police
Station
at
1101
3rd
Avenue,
South
I'll,
invite
director
Barbara
O'brien
our
finance
and
Property
Services
Department
director
to
present
on
this
item.
P
E
P
Thank
you,
chair
Paul,
massano,
council
members,
I
am
Barbara
O'brien
director
of
Property
Services
I'm
before
you
today
to
provide
an
update
and
an
off
and
offer
a
proposal
for
your
request
through
the
legislative
directive
that
was
given
to
me,
July
18th
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
per
the
directive,
Property
Services
has
considered
a
co-location
of
mpd's
third
precinct
staff,
along
with
other
precincts.
P
I
can
tell
you
that
we
looked
at
the
other
precincts
within
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
due
to
geographic
location
or
size
constraints,
there
were
very
quickly
ruled
out
and
the
other
opportunity
had
already
been
surfaced
about
looking
at
Century
Plaza,
and
so
we
our
focus
our
report
and
our
recommendation.
Our
offering
is
primarily
focused
on
co-locating
the
third
precinct,
with
the
first
precinct
as
it's
as
it
is
being
built
out
at
Century,
Plaza.
P
Among
the
deficiencies
and
challenges
at
this
temporary
site
are
inadequate
space
for
MPD
third
precinct
staff
to
function
again.
The
building
was
an
office
building
and
although
we
did
some
minor
retrofitting
to
provide
them
with
a
location
temporarily
it
it's
really
challenging
for
them
to
function.
There's
they
have
the
community
response
team
and
a
crime
prevention
team
that
are
also
challenged
to
function
in
that
facility.
P
P
We
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
things
in
flight
and
in
consideration
right
now
for
for
programming
related
to
MPD,
and
this
would
allow
space
for
that
to
happen.
P
P
I
want
to
be
clear
that
both
Precinct
functions
will
have
independent,
dedicated
space
separate
from
one
another.
The
first
precinct
will
continue
is
designed
and
is
in
construction,
and
it
will
continue
to
be
programmed
for
the
ground
floor
and
our
lower
level
and
ground
floor
or
lower
level
first
floor,
which
is
how
it's
described
by
the
developer.
P
The
third
precinct
would
occupy
the
third
and
fourth
floors,
and
we
would
have
the
center
floor
floor
two
as
a
undeveloped
shell
space
that
we
would
be
able
to
have
flexibility
in
the
future
of
width,
The,
Joint
location
would
provide
improved
Public
Access
for
both
precincts
security,
officing
storage
and
community
space,
which
doesn't
exist
currently
with
the
third
precinct.
P
And
this
is
an
overview
of
the
current
development
contract.
City
currently
has
a
contract
for
two
Floors
Plus
a
mezzanine.
This
is
space
for
first
precinct
did
and
brrt,
which
is
the
bike.
Rapid
response
function
that
MPD
has
it's
a
purchase
through
contract,
condo
development
and
private,
secure
parking.
P
P
Before
you
is
a
fit
plan,
so,
as
you
can
see,
Century
Plaza
is
a
very
large
building
and
parking
is
in
the
center.
The
second
third
and
fourth
floors
are
in
White
and
the
spaces
that
would
not
be
part
of
Minneapolis
City
of
Minneapolis
condo
contract
are
shown
in
Gray,
so
it
demonstrates
that
it's
just
a
portion
of
the
building,
the.
P
Schedule
is,
we
are
working
with
the
terms
agreement
and
we
have
that
it's
part
of
the
discussion
this
afternoon.
Should
this
be
approved.
We
will
move
right
into
design.
We
believe
that
we've
learned
a
lot
of
lessons.
We
know
the
building
now
because
we've
been
working
with
consultants
and
our
developer
for
over
a
year,
and
we
believe
that
the
design
work
would
go
quite
quickly.
P
B
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
either
of
these
items?
Number
three
or
number
four
council
member
wansley
thank.
I
You
chair
palmasano,
just
a
quick
thing
before
I
have
or
go
into
the
substance
of
my
questions,
and
this
is
probably
for
the
clerks.
I
didn't
see
the
presentation
on
limbs.
Will
this
be
added
to
its
after
we're
done?
Okay,
awesome
great!
Thank
you,
director,
O'brien,
for
this
presentation.
The
first
question
that
I
have
would
be,
as
you
noted
it,
that
the
third
precinct
wouldn't
be
relocated
until
early
2025..
I
I
know
constituents
asked
me
like
in
the
time
being,
then,
where
will
the
precinct
be
located?
Will
it
just
stay
at
its
current
location?
Okay,
awesome
also,
really
good
follow-up
from
our
prior
presentation
around
the
legislative
department,
but
also
just
process
around
cold
location
in
the
evaluation
of
the
outcomes
from
that
site.
I
know
this
legislative
directive,
I
think
was
only
rap
supposed
to
wrap
up
today,
but
will
there
be
an
ongoing
evaluation
of
kind
of
how
that
site
is
functioning
Beyond?
This
legislative
directive.
P
Yeah
absolutely
and
that's
kind
of
part
and
parcel
of
having
that
additional
floor.
P
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
are
happening
today
and
MPD
will
look
different
a
year
from
now,
two
years
from
now
and
having
that
flexibility
allows
us
to
evaluate
not
just
that
site
and
how
those
two
precincts
are
functioning.
But
how
are
other
precincts
function,
how
we,
how
we
evolve,
and
so
absolutely
yes,
we'll
be
looking
at
it
repeatedly
to
see
how
we
can
make
it
better
and.
I
I,
don't
know
in
terms
of
what
a
committee
would
be
the
best
to
receive
those
ongoing
presentations,
probably
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
It
might
still
be
Cal,
but
I
can
imagine.
This
could
go
if
Pogo
still
exists
or
PHS,
but
a
commitment
to
having
those
regular
updates
through
a
committee
process
so
that
we
can
know
kind
of
like
what
the
outcomes
are
and
yeah
that'd.
P
Be
great,
I
would
be
happy
and
frankly
quite
excited
to
do
that.
That's
the
kind
of
work
that
I
love
to
do
and
we
currently
Property
Services
reports
through
fsam,
and
so
we
do
regular
evaluations
and
report
outs
about
things
that
are
going
on
in
all
of
our
facilities
across
the
board.
And
so
I
would
imagine
that
it
would
show
up
there,
but
it
certainly
could
be
brought
through
Pogo,
which
is
usually
where
we
go
and.
I
I
You
know
receive
addendum
to
that
led
to
to
get
those
regular
updates
on
so
I'll
follow
up
with
you
too
I
know
it's
been
kind
of
lost
because
pmis
in
transition
mode
and
look
forward
to
connecting
with
their
new
director
too
about
how
we
could
have
an
update
on
this
next
year
or
two
I
look
forward
to
it
awesome
and
then
last
question.
So
in
the
budgetary
piece-
and
you
highlight
that
so
the
mirrors
recommended
capital
budget
includes
about
10
million
for
the
third
precinct
in
2024
and
then
20
million
in
2025.
I
So,
as
you
highlighted,
that's
30
million
and
then
not
including
the
500
000
from
you
know,
previous
years
in
the
purchase
agreement
in
the
RCA
for
this
site,
The
Proposal
estimates
that
it'll
take
about
19
million
dollars.
Additional
to
you
know,
add
those
those
additional
floors
and
parking
spaces.
I
So
it
seems
like
approving
this
will
reduce
the
capital
budget
needed
for
the
third
precinct
from
30
million
to
just
about
a
19
million
dollar
figure,
with
the
savings
of
around
11
million.
Is
that
about
correct.
P
I
think
it's
about
correct,
I,
honestly,
we'll
have
to
map
it
out
and
then
there's
the
other
piece
that
we
hope
to
still
find
some
form
of
reimbursement
for
the
third
precinct.
We
will
still
pursue
that,
although
it
may
not
be
a
guarantee,
so
it
could.
That
could
also
play
into
it.
Oh.
P
Accountable
dollars,
and
at
this
point
I
would
have
to
just
tell
you
that
I
will
follow
up
with
that
I
mean
they're.
We
we
have
no,
no
solid
confirmation
on
that.
I
Right
so
off
develop
awesome
and
again
we
could
work
with
you.
I
know
we're
working
with
the
interim
CEO
on
the
rollout.
The
next
phase
around
what
happens
at
the
third
precinct,
along
with
council
member
Chavez
and
really
getting
a
sense
of
it's
good
to
know
there
might
be
11
million
dollars
to
support
whatever
that
process
is,
but
just
wanted
to
get
clarity
on
like
what
happens
with
capital
dollars.
When
you
underspend
your
budgets
typically.
P
Well,
I
I
mean
we
have
the
opportunity
to
roll
it
into
other
projects
within
the
capital
program
that
have
been
identified.
So
I
haven't
experienced
that
yet
here
in
the
city,
but
but
that
is
the
process
in.
I
The
states
within
the
capital
program
account.
Okay,
that's
good
to
know,
glad
and
hope
that
this
could
be
a
new
experience,
but
that's
good
to
know
and
have
knowledge
of
so
thank
you
and
yeah,
we'll
absolutely
follow
up
on
that
fantastic.
Thank
you.
Awesome.
A
P
We
are
currently
we
have
to
have
an
address,
so
once
we
have
the
address,
then
we
can
start
the
application
process
for
it.
We
believe
that
it
will
be
there
we're
waiting
for
an
address
to
give
them
all
right.
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
B
B
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor,
please
signify

saying
aye,
aye,
aye
