A
A
D
Thank
you,
chair,
Vito
and
good
afternoon
committee
members.
My
name
is
Kim
Havey
I
use
pronouns.
He
him
his
and
I'm
the
director
of
sustainability
in
the
sustainability,
healthy
homes
and
environment
division
in
the
City's
health
department,
and
we
are
here
today
to
take
comments
from
the
public
on
the
climate
Equity
plan
I'm
joined
in
the
audience
by
sustainability
and
health
staff
plan
consultants
and
many
others
from
the
community
who
have
contributed
to
the
climate
Equity
plan.
D
I
want
to
sincerely
thank
all
of
those
who
have
been
involved
and
given
their
time
and
expertise
to
bring
this
plan
forward
because
it
has
been
a
year
and
a
half
process,
but
something
in
which
it's
really
really
improved,
with
input
and
support
from
the
community.
This
new
plan
is
intended
to
update
and
replace
the
2013
climate
action
plan.
D
We
are
setting
goals
to
accelerate
our
reduction
of
community-wide
greenhouse
gas
ghg
emissions,
using
the
science-based
fair
share
approach,
consistent
with
the
race
to
zero
play
judge,
which
calls
for
Minneapolis
to
accelerate
a
reduction
in
climate
pollution
to
one-third
of
our
current
emissions
by
2030
and
become
Net
Zero
ghg
by
2050..
We're
also
establishing
a
not
to
exceed
cumulative
carbon
budget
for
between
now
and
2050..
D
However,
climate
work
is
not
only
about
reducing
ghg
emissions,
it's
also
about
people
and
it's
about
improving
people's
lives,
which
is
why
we
are
leading
with
environmental
justice
in
our
climate,
Equity
goals,
strategies
and
and
actions.
For
example,
we've
set
a
goal
to
cut
in
half
by
2030
the
number
of
households
that
have
a
high
energy
burden
over
four
percent.
This
amounts
to
about
ten
thousand
Minneapolis
households,
which
more
than
75
percent,
are
people
of
color.
D
We
also
call
for
a
just
transition
to
a
clean
energy
future
that
includes
green
career,
Workforce,
training
opportunities
and
support
for
new
green
business
startups.
We
estimate
that
to
insulate
thirty
thousand
new
homes
that
are
under
insulated
and
prepare
them
for
an
electrified
future,
we
will
need
at
least
one
thousand
newly
trained
workers
by
2030..
D
These
are
just
a
couple
of
the
examples
of
the
plan's
recommended
actions
to
create
a
sustainable
resilient
community
just
for
a
little
background
on
April
19th.
After
the
presentation
of
the
working
draft
of
the
climate
Equity
plan
to
the
public
health
and
service
committee,
we
released
the
working
draft
for
the
climate
Equity
plan
and
since
then,
I've
received
over
800
comments
from
our
online
survey.
89
of
the
respondents
live
in
Minneapolis
and
responses
came
in
from
every
neighborhood
and
zip
code
in
the
city.
D
In
addition,
we
have
received
dozens
of
comments
from
our
utilities
steering
committee
members,
mn350,
fresh
energy,
other
community
groups
and
a
wide
variety
of
community
members,
through
both
in-person
meetings
with
with
council
members
and
others,
and
in
writing.
Through
letters
submitted
directly
to
sustainability.
D
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
the
proposed
timeline
is
being
adjusted
for
our
our
next
steps
in
adoption,
and
so
the
current
timeline
in
the
RCA
that
we
have
before
you
is
that
we're
proposing
to
have
the
final
plan
completed
and
submitted
for
the
July
12th
public
health
and
safety
committee,
and
this
will
give
us
time
our
staff
and
others
to
review
all
the
comments
and
make
changes
to
the
working
draft,
which
there
will
be
some
significant
changes
made
at
that
July
20
at
the
July
12th
PHS
meeting.
D
I'll
present
an
overview
of
the
changes
that
were
made
from
the
working
draft.
Based
on
the
comments.
The
final
climate
Equity
plan
draft
will
be
included
with
the
RCA,
so
the
council
will
have
time
to
review
the
document
before
the
PHS
meeting.
With
that
said,
the
plan
may
still
not
be
perfect
in
some
folks
eyes.
Its
intent
is
to
be
an
aspirational
document
that
establishes
a
pathway
toward
net
zero
ghg
emissions
by
2050..
D
D
As
one
participant
said
in
the
community,
less
listening
session,
I
quote
coming
together
to
fight
climate
change
as
the
opportunity
to
create
a
shared
sense
of
community
across
racial,
religious
and
social
boundaries.
I
truly
believe
that
is
true.
So
thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
the
comments
from
the
community.
A
E
Wansley,
thank
you,
chair,
Vita
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions
first,
regarding
just
transparency,
metrics
and
accountability.
So
the
climate
action
plan
right
now
has
minimal
timelines
included
in
bulk
of
its
strategy
proposals.
E
E
So,
if
passed
this
year,
this
plan
would
align
well
with.
Are
you
with
the
racial
Equity
Transportation
plan,
and
things
like
that?
So
just
wanting
to
know
do
staff
have
a
plan
to
include
clear
timelines
for
each
strategy
and
action
step
in
the
climate
Equity
plan
that
complements
the
timelines
that
have
already
been
passed
by
Council.
As
I
mentioned
those
plans
being
the
you
know,
the
the
ref
I
can't
want
to
go,
buy
the
acronyms
but
the
racial
Equity
Transportation
framework,
but
also
the
transportation
action
plan.
D
Chair
of
Utah
councilmember
wansley,
the
we
will
plan
to
include
a
implementation
plan
for
the
next
year
that
will
have
a
specific
timelines,
but
not
all
strategies
will
have
timelines.
There's
quite
complicated
strategies
in
there.
That'll
require
more
planning
and
also
looking
at
what
the
financial
needs
are.
That
will
require
quite
a
bit
of
analysis
as
well
too,
so
we
do
have
plans
to
move
forward
on
things
and
that
will
be
outlined
within
this
plan,
but
we're
not
currently
including
a
timeline
work
plan
for
all
strategies
in
this.
In
the
plan.
E
I
will
just
name
some
of
the
concerns
around
that
I
know.
You
mentioned
this
complicated,
but
I
mean
doing
research
on
cities
like
Boston,
for
instance,
they
have
a
robust
climate
action
plan
that
does
have
very
you
know
elaborate
strategies,
but
what
is
actually
really
great
about
theirs
is
they
do
have
that
implementation
piece?
You
know
who's
holding
the
work,
the
timeline
I,
think
in
your
draft,
you
mentioned,
or
staff,
has
recommended
that
this
will
take
five
years.
E
So
if
we
know
this
is
going
to
be
a
five
year
process-
and
this
is
similar
to
other
plans
that
we
passed,
the
transportation
action
plan
also
was
a
multi-year
plan
and
they
had
things
broken
and
broken
down
by
year.
Zero
through
three
zero
I
mean
you're
five
through
eight,
so
we've
seen
in
other
departments
that
were
able
to
break
down
these
timelines
based
off
of
our
you
know
totality
of
of
time
so
I
I
do
you
know
want
to
note
that
it
is
possible
and
it
I
I
want
to
highlight.
E
That
is
the
biggest
piece
of
fee
feedback
that
we
have
gotten
around.
What's
being
proposed
is
not
having
those
clear
timelines
and
also,
most
importantly,
who's
holding
the
work
that
way.
Community
members
just
like
what
we're
doing
with
our
strategic
racial
Equity
plan
is
broken
down
by
we
know.
Cpad
is
doing
this.
We
know
cpad
and
Public.
Works
is
doing
this.
So
again
we
have
reference
points
with
other
departments.
I
don't
know
if
you
all
are
Consulting
with
them.
E
Who
have
been
able
to
do
this
and
have
that
work
be
passed
by
this
body
and
would
like
to
see
that
reflected
in
what
is
going
to
be
our
guiding
kind
of
North
Star
around
our
climate
action
plan
so
and
also
look
into
Boston.
If
you
want,
we,
my
office
is
more
than
willing
to
like
connect
you
with
those
folks,
my
next
round
of
questions
tied
to
race,
racial
equity
and
Community
engagement,
because
that's
been
a
bulk
of
also
concerns
that
my
office
has
received
right
now.
E
While
I
do,
you
know,
agree
that
there
is
a
priority
or
top
concern
of
residents
around
the
cost
of
energy
bills,
there's
a
whole
variety
of
other
priorities
that
is
listed
in
like
the
people's
Equity
climate
plan,
around
Environmental
Solutions
and
concerns.
So
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
sense
of
how
did
we
get
to
just
recognizing
energy
bills
as
being
kind
of
the
top
one
and
and
having
that
be
reflected
in
the
Raya?
Instead
of
you
know
some
of
the
other
proposals
that
I
know.
Community
members
have
also
offered
staff.
D
Chair
view,
Town
councilmember
wansley,
there's
a
lot
to
unpack
there,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
you
know
we.
We
did
I,
consider
some
of
the
most
intentional
and
extensive
engagement
on
this
plan
of
any
plan.
That's
been
done.
We've
continued
partnering
with
Community
10
different
Community
organizations
had
listening
sessions,
feedback
sessions
and
additional
sessions
with
those
folks.
D
We
also
engage
with
a
number
of
different
Community
organizations,
as
well
as
professionals
working
in
this
field
through
work
groups
and
had
a
very
diverse
steering
committee
that
gave
feedback
so
we're
looking
at
all
and
we've
also
included
all
the
work
planning
efforts
of
the
green
zones,
which
is
also
within
our
our
sustainability
office.
So
we
really
took
a
lot
of
those
into
consideration
and
you
know
if
they're
and
then
looking
at
the
people's
climate
and
Equity
plan,
which
we
looked
at
very
closely,
we
are
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
invest.
D
Add
all
the
different
Equity
components
in
there.
You'll
see
a
lot
of
things,
for
example,
on
clean
air
and
clean
water.
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
to
think
about
clean
air
these
days,
especially
what
you
can
do
with
indoor
air
quality
in
light
of
the
forest
fires
that
are
going
on
right
now,
which
currently
the
Eric
toxicity
in
New
York
City
is
the
worst
of
any
major
city
in
the
entire
country.
Right
now,
New
Delhi
normally
takes
the
takes
the
championship
on
that.
But
yesterday
New
York
was
the
worst
in
the
entire
country.
D
So
we
need
to
break
out
our
n95s
again
because
they
do
affect
they
do
help.
Stop
the
the
input
of
that
particulate
matter,
but
I
also
think
it's
important
for
us
to
start
looking
at
things
like
air
quality
and
ensuring
clean
water
and
accessibility,
because
that's
not
necessarily
given,
but
that's
something
that's
included
in
this
plan
that
hasn't
been
included
in
other
plans
and
is
specifically
focused
on
the
rationale
we're
doing.
D
That
is
because
the
equity
components
of
the
plan-
it's
those
who
don't
have
access
to
the
cleaner
air
and
and
potentially
don't
have
access
to
clean
water
because
of
lead
pipes
or
other
things
that
we
put
a
priority
on
that
within
the
climate
Equity
plan
and
in
response
to
your
previous
questions
about
timeline
and
responsibility,
we're
moving
forward
with
some
of
those
things
and
and
I'll.
Take
those
comments
seriously
consideration.
D
Your
comments
from
earlier
today
on
as
far
as
implementation
timeline,
I,
do
think,
makes
some
sense
and
I'm
going
to
look
at
that
Transportation
action
plan
as
a
way
for
us
to
really
identify
sort
of
time
periods,
I
can't
nail
down
exactly
how
every
one
of
these
will
work,
but
I
could
give
some
generalization
I
also
have
identified
already
and
will
be
included
in
our
new
plan.
D
Who
is
going
to
be
the
main
responsible
party
for
each
and
every
one
of
the
strategies
that
are
in
there
and
what
type,
whether
it
be
a
plan
or
a
project
or
a
pilot?
Are
we?
Are
we
proposing
for
each
one
of
the
each
one
of
the
actions
we're
also
going
to
be
looking
at,
and
we
do
have
additional
information?
That's
going
to
be
more
directed
as
to
what
the
carbon
emission
reductions
will
be
by
category
I
know
some
folks.
D
It's
been
quite
it
partly
because
it
has
been
articulated
well
that
we
it's
been
confusing
to
know
like
what
our
targets
are,
because
we
don't
really
have
a
year
Target.
We
have
a
budget
Etc,
but
I'm
we're
working
on
those
and
we'll
have
some
additional
we'll
have
some
additional
clarifications
on
all
of
those
specific
targets
which
I
think
will
address
a
lot
of
the
issues
around
asbestos,
specificity
of
who's
responsible.
What's
the
actual
goal
within
each
one
of
those
and
how
we're
going
to
measure
those
I'm
hoping
to
really
make
those
improvements.
E
And
then
you
mentioned
this
too,
of
and
I've
heard
this
too,
in
working
with
our
sustainability
staff,
specifically
on
the
the
P
card
ordinance,
where
we're
trying
to
include
a
social
cost
of
carbon
and
often
hearing
you
know.
E
Yes,
there
has
been
very
intentional
engagement
with
Community
Partners
around
the
development
of
this
plan,
but
often
what
I'm
hearing
too
on
the
other
side
of
things,
is
yes,
while
we
met
with
staff,
the
feedback
that's
being
provided
provided
to
staff
is
somehow
not
being
integrated
in
the
actual
work
pieces
of
this
plan.
So
in
knowing
that
you
know,
July
12th
is
happening
in
you
know
a
couple
weeks
from
now
and
recognizing
that
there's
been
tons
of
public
comments
that
has
shared
and
reinforced
that
sentiment.
E
We've
even
got
letters
from
Union
saying
that
when
you're
talking
about
building
a
green
economy
and
a
green
Workforce,
the
very
workers
or
unions
that
represents
the
workers
that
would
carry
out
the
significant
part
of
this
plan
has
not
been
consulted
with
so
just
working
backwards
from
July
12th.
How
are
you
you
know?
Looking
you
know
week
by
week
to
really
bring
those
groups
in
to
make
sure
that
those
concerns
that
feedback
is
also
going
to
be
integrated
as
you're
continuously
modifying
this
plan.
D
Chair
of
retail
council
member
wansley
I,
this
is
part
of
the
issue
about
where
this
plan,
which
is
setting
you
know
as
a
goal
and
a
policy
sustainability.
We
are
not
the
program
implementers.
D
We
are
the
organization
that
guides
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
also
works
on
environmental
justice,
but
our
goals
are
really
set
based
on
what
we
see
as
science-based,
fair
share
targets
and
how
we
get
there
for
each
and
every
one
of
those
programs
is
something
that
needs
additional
work
so,
including,
and
one
of
those
pieces
is
this
climate
Legacy
initiative
and
the
funding.
It
has
not
been
finalized
as
to
how
the
funding
will
work.
Nor
is
it
a
one-time
deal
with
the
funding.
You
know
we're
also
looking
at
bringing
in
federal
dollars.
D
We
have
two
major
federal
grants
coming
up
in
the
fall
that
are
for
climate
pollution
reduction
and
and
for
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reductions
that
are
potentially
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
the
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars.
There
are
20
some
billion
dollars
each
one
of
those
plans,
but
we
don't
know
the
details
of
those
plans.
We
don't
know
what
exactly
they
have
not
released,
how
they
exactly
can
be
used
those
types
of
things
so,
but
they
can
be
applied
in
many
cases
to
our
building
decarbonization
and
our
housing
decarbonization.
D
So
they
could
be
part
of
the
climate
Legacy
initiative.
So,
within
this
plan
we're
saying
we
need
to
do
that
to
fully
fund
that,
and
there
will
be
a
proposal
coming
forward,
but
the
details
have
not
been
worked
out,
nor
have
they
been
finalized,
so
I'm
reluctant
to
include
that
in
this
plan,
because
that
would
potentially
delay
the
plan's
adoption
for
months,
if
not
longer,
I.
E
Will
acknowledge
around
the
funding
piece,
because
that's
that's
really
the
big
piece
around
this
plan
is.
We
could
put
all
the
robust.
You
know
goals
on
this,
but
if
we
have
no
mechanism,
that's
cleared
to
council
as
the
purse
holders
of
the
city,
how
we're
going
to
fund
it
or
for
the
public.
This
that's
the
biggest
monkey
Ranch.
E
If
we,
if
we
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
fund
this
plan,
so
I
know
you
mentioned
not
wanting
to
bring
that
information
forward
and
I've
relayed
those
concerns
too
directly
to
you
also
office
and
the
mayor's
office
around.
What
is
a
draft
of
the
climate
Legacy
initiative?
What
what
funding
streams
are
we
anticipating
to
to
be
placed,
as
you
know,
kind
of
the
feeders
for
this,
but
also
is
there
an
expectation
that
we're
going
to
be
matching
dollars
from
the
general
fund?
E
Because,
if
that's
the
case,
we
need
to
know
that,
if
we're
going
into,
you
know
that
b
and
right
now,
we
don't
have
any
information
around
that.
So
it
would
be
good
if
there's
a
draft
component
of
what
this
climate
Legacy
initiative
will
be
and
I
know.
The
public
has
asked
for
this
too
around.
How
do
we
fund
this
work
because
there's
been
years
and
years
of
putting
these
strategies
strategies
together,
but
we
don't
know
actually
on
the
implementation
side,
you
can't
Implement.
If
you
ain't
got
no
money.
So
that's
a
that's
a
problem.
E
D
D
E
Again,
just
saying
a
draft,
because
I
think
this
body
have
seen
drafted
ordinances
we've
seen
drafted
tentative
contracts
be
shared
publicly
the
Police
contract.
We
did
that
before
it
was
approved.
So
we
know
there
is
capability
for
staff
to
share
those
tentative
drives
as
you're
doing
right
now.
What
we're
discussing
is
a
draft
of
a
plan
and
we're
asking
for
feedback.
We
could
do
the
same
thing
on
the
climate
Legacy
initiative,
because
right
now,
people
are
very
concerned.
E
Are
we
actually
going
to
fund
this,
and
it
would
be
good
to
assure
the
public
that
this
thing
that
you've
been
saying
for
several
months
around
how
we're
going
to
fund
this
to
actually
see
what
that
is
because
then
we
can
say:
oh
this
makes
sense
or
again
for
this
body
who's
having
conversations
around
the
budget
and
the
budget
is
looking
Bleak
right
now
for
us
to
actually
talk
about
okay.
E
How
do
we
make
priorities
as
a
body
so
that
we
can
reach
whatever
matching
funds
that
might
be
needed
to
support
the
the
full?
You
know
funding
necessary
to
make
this
fund
successful,
so
I'm
still
very
concerned
that
at
least
there
should
be
a
commitment
to
release
this
before
the
body
is
being
asked
to
vote
on
this
plan
that
should
be
shared
with
the
public
so
that
they
know
for
this
body.
E
For
us
to
have
those
informed
conversations,
and
in
that
you
mentioned
this,
is
my
last
question
around
projected
cost
two,
because
I
would
say
that
you
know
the
lack
of
specific
specificity
around
the
strategies
is
also
very
concerning
we
don't
know
how
much
of
any
of
these
things
are
going
to
cost
and
I
know
in
conversations
with
you
in
in
the
larger
sustainability
Department
that
director
Patrick
Hamlin,
we've
asked
what
yes,
what
is
the
totality
of
this,
and
we
were
assured,
as
you
shared
today,
that
there's
extensive
financial
analysis,
that's
being
done
all
these
things
and
nothing
has
been
brought
forward
to
the
surface
so
again
that
links
to
The
Climate
Legacy
initiative.
E
What
are
you?
What
is
the
goal?
What
is
the
threshold?
That's
going
to
be
needed,
and
how
can
you
determine
that
if
we
don't
even
know
how
much
each
individual
strategy
is
going
to
cost
so
same
thing
of
just
a
lack
of
transparency
around
that
like
that,
should
also
be
included
in
modifications
along
with
the
timeline
who's
holding
this
work?
Also,
how
much
is
this
going
to
cost
that
way?
We
know
for
at
least
you
know
this
year,
2023
or
2024
2025.
E
How
much
this
body
is
going
to
have
to
you
know,
weigh
in
around
Financial
allegations,
so
I
will
just
name
I
wanted
to
put
on
the
public
record
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
was
documented,
as
you
mentioned,
in
the
800
plus
comments
that
was
submitted,
that
I've
shared
with
the
sustainability
office
directly
for
several
months
now
and
again,
to
still
be
in
a
position,
come
June
and
for
us
to
not
have
any
more
clearer
information
to
work
from,
and
this
plan
is
very
concerning
and
why
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
with
the
public
around?
E
Are
we
actually
doing
our
due
diligence
and
taking
this
serious
and
incorporating
in
a
genuine
level
the
feedback
and
the
Brilliance
that
exist
in
our
community
around
how
we
actually
make
our
city
more
climate
friendly?
So
I
really
hope
we
can
have
those
things
that
we
just
talked
about
before
we're
being
asked
to
vote
on
the
final
plan,
that's
going
to
shape
how
we
do
climate
Justice
work
for
years
and
that
that's
a
that's,
a
very
firm
encouragement
from
from
me
to
you
in
the
sustainability
office.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
think
council
member
wanzi
touched
on
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
dig
a
Little
Deeper
background
is
just
you
know:
I'm
looking
at
the
equity
piece
of
the
climate
Equity
plan,
not
just
from
you
know,
prioritizing
green
zones
and
making
sure
that
we're
addressing
some
of
those
environmental
justice
issues,
but
Workforce
Development
and
wealth,
building
and
I'm
curious
to
what
extent
you've
had
an
opportunity
to
work
with
and
also
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
like
humility.
C
We
need
to
have
as
an
institution
that
we're
not
going
to
solve
climate
action
solely
with
the
resources
of
this
institution
and
we're
gonna
have
to
partner
outside
so
I'm
curious
around
how
you've
worked
with
outside
Partners
as
it
relates
to
Workforce,
Development
or
how
we
might
be
able
to
plug
in
outside
Partners
when
it
comes
to
really
thinking
critically
about
how
we
can
be
intentional
about
how
we're
deploying
resources
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
an
equitable
wealth
building
as
part
of
this
component
and
and
I
see
some
of
our
Union
Partners
in
the
in
the
chambers,
so
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
hear
from
them.
C
As
well,
but
not
just
what
have
we
done
in
the
past
to
make
sure
that
was
being
thought
about?
But
how
can
we
make
sure
that
we're
plugging
in
outside
Partners
going
forward,
whether
it's
you
know
today's
public
hearing
or
other
points
of
Engagement
and
how
we
as
council
members,
can
make
sure
that
that
expertise
is
being
embedded
into
some
of
the
implementation,
as
we
start
getting
into
the
details?
So
if
you
just
have
any
ideas
around
how
we
can
be
productive
in
that
way,.
D
Chair
p,
veto
council
member
Payne.
We
are
right
now
doing
working
with
mcgeezy
and
and
Summit
OIC,
as
well
as
Renewable
Energy
Partners
and
the
Midwest
renewable
energy
Association
on
doing
training
around
Energy
Efficiency
and
around
solar
energy.
We
hope
that
we
can
really
expand
on
that
we're
looking
at
we're
partnering
with
our
Workforce
people,
also
within
cped,
and
trying
to
really
expand
that
component.
D
Looking
at
Sabathani
Center,
there's
some
specific
things
there
that
the
city
can
take
leadership
on
too,
as
well
like,
for
example,
being
able
to
give
a
multi-year
contracts
to
new
businesses
that
would
be
working
in
the
weatherization
or
Energy
Efficiency
sphere,
and
actually,
just
this
morning,
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
regional
directors
from
the
Americorps
which
does
Conservation
Corps,
and
they
want
to
bring
a
new
core
here,
called
the
energy
core,
specifically
working
with
people
who
are
recently
graduated,
but
maybe
also
some
that
haven't
to
form
a
group
of
young
people
that
would
be
going
through
and
doing,
energy
audits,
system
upgrades
and
buildings.
D
It
would
be
building
off
a
pilot.
That's
been
quite
successful
in
California,
so
looking
to
expand
our
partners
there
as
well.
We
also
work
closely
with
the
Center
for
Energy
in
the
environment.
We
have
a
new
program
right
now.
We
partnered
with
other
cities
as
St
Louis,
Park,
Edina
and
Eden
Prairie
to
do
an
Electrify
everything
which
is
a
guy
right
now
on
online
and
a
guide
to
how
you
can
Electrify
your
home
and
do
various
steps
as
part
of
that
we're
also
doing
training
and
incentives
with
contractors.
D
So
they
become
familiar
with
things
like
an
electric
air
source,
water,
heater
or
a
air
source
heat
pumps,
which
are
now
going
to
be
more
standardized,
and
we
hope
we
can
really
spread
the
word
about
getting
those
installed
and
we've
also
incentivized
those
and
provide
zero
percent
financing
for
those
as
well
too
they're,
also
large
rebates
available
through
the
federal
government.
So
we're
looking
to
expand
our
role
in
that
we
have
not
spent
a
lot
of
energy.
We
have
not
spent
a
lot
of
time
or
money
on
it
up
to
this
point.
D
In
time
we
have
one
person
who's
really
dedicated
within
our
division,
Marquita
keys
to
that
and
she's
got.
You
know
a
number
of
different
classes,
and
things
like
that
that
are
going
through.
One
of
the
interesting
things
is
that
the
assistant
Secretary
of
the
Department
of
energy,
David
Turk,
was
in
town
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
went
up
to
the
Northgate
Training
Center
run
by
Renewable
Energy
Partners
and
actually
went
into
one
of
the
classes.
That
Marquita
is
well.
D
She
wasn't
teaching
it
at
that
time,
but
that's
your
coordinates
and
organizes,
and
he
had
an
incredible
experience
talking
with
folks
there
who
are
all
people
of
color
who
are
looking
to
get
into
a
career
and
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
really
want
to
expand.
We
can
can't
do
all
this
work.
Not
you
know,
the
money
is
part
of
it,
but
I
see
one
of
the
other
major
constraints.
Is
we
don't
have
employees
to
do
it
with
less
than
a
three
percent
unemployment
rate?
D
We
really
got
to
dig
deeper
into
our
community
to
find
folks
who
are
underemployed
or
could
benefit
from
this
to
be
able
to
get
them
into
these
these
careers.
So
we're
hoping
that
there's
a
number
of
different
new
strategies
and
we
can
use
some
of
the
government
funds
to
give
some
folks
some
long-term
opportunities.
D
We're
also
looking
at
how
we
can
work
with
the
commercial
Corridor
Redevelopment
fund
to
be
able
to
provide
additional
funding
for
a
minority-owned
business
owners
to
buy
their
buildings
and
to
upgrade
them
so
that
they
can
get
as
close
to
Net
Zero
Energy
as
possible,
and
we're
going
to
be
going
after
a
new
Federal
grant
to
be
able
to
do
that
as
well
too.
But
we
do
have
to
do
a
lot
more
on
the
training
side
and
that's
one
of
those
things
that
needs
more
exploration
as
well.
C
Really
helpful
and
I
just
want
to
extend
an
invitation
to
I'll
speak
for
myself,
leverage
me
and
my
relationships
as
it
relates
to
partnership
outside
of
City,
Hall
and
I'm.
Sure
everybody
else
in
the
days
up
here
has
other
deeper
Connections
in
the
community.
That
I
think
is
going
to
take
all
of
us
showing
up
for
this,
so
that
we
can
be
successful.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
E
Thank
you,
chair,
Vita
I
just
wanted
to
get
fully
clear
because
I
think
it
might
have
got
lost
in
my
comments.
Could
you
just
share
what
is
the
climate
Legacy
initial
fund?
What
is
that
right
now.
D
Chair
of
detail,
councilmember
wansley,
the
climate
Legacy
initiative,
is
looking
at
different
funding
sources,
some
of
which
we
currently
already
use,
such
as
the
franchise
fee
or
P
car,
to
increase
the
amount
of
funding
we
have
coming
from
the
city
to
invest
in
the
projects
we
have
right.
Now
we
don't
have
it's
not
called
a
fund,
but
we
have
a
half
a
percent
franchise
fee
that
is
actually
dedicated
towards
sustainability
work.
D
D
Recently,
Ann
Arbor
just
passed
a
increase
in
property
taxes
for
their
climate
work
and
we've,
so
we're
exploring
all
the
different
sort
of
mechanisms,
including
Boston's
as
to
how
they
allocated
funding
for
this
in
the
case
of
Boston,
they
actually
reallocated
budget.
You
know
general
fund
budget
money
to
to
make
that
happen.
D
Ultimately,
things
like
the
franchise
vnp
card,
you
go
into
the
federal
I
mean
into
the
into
the
general
fund
and
then
because
they're,
a
a
annual
or
not
annual
appropriation
day,
ongoing
appropriation,
they'd
more
or
less
become
dedicated
to
that
particular
work.
Unless
the
council
changes
action
in
a
particular
year.
So
that's
what
we're
proposing
and
those
are
some
of
the
sources
that
were
that
we're
looking
at.
But
it's
about
like
how
we
adjusted
what's
the
and
those
are
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
Financial
Equity
legal,
what
we
can
do.
E
And
just
clever
at
least
the
two
tools
that
exist
at
the
city
right
now,
because
everything
else
is
up
in
the
air
Ira.
We
don't
know,
you
know
what
that
dedication
will
look
like
all
the
external
Government
funding
the
bonds
process.
That's
going
to
take
some
time,
but
at
least
right
now
it
seems
like
franchise
fees
and
for
p
car
Pollution
Control
annual
registration.
Those
are
the
two
primary
funding
sources
right
now
at
the
city
that
is
being
looked
at
to
do
initial
funding
rev
up
for
this.
D
Chair
of
Utah,
councilmember
wansley,
yes,
that's
correct.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again,
director
Havey,
for
this
presentation,
and
thank
you
for
acknowledging
that
this
is
not
a
perfect
plan
and
it's
a
working
plan.
You
know
it's
it's
a
good
thing
to
see
so
many
community
members
who
do
this
work
here.
I
know
you've
partnered
with
them
on
input.
I
also
want
to
say
thanks
for
acknowledging
some
of
council
member
wansley's
concerns
around
where
the
money
is
going
to
come
from
and
around
the
timeline.
A
You
know
our
goals
met
and
so
I'm
I'm,
confident
that
your
department
will
continue
to
do
that
work
and
continue
to
be
leading
in
this
work
and
finding
out
where
the
money
is
and
working
with,
Community
I
think
that's
the
most
important
thing
for
me.
It
feels
good
that
you
got
that
much
feedback
and
from
the
entire
city
you
know
so
that
means
this
is
something
that's
really
important
to
the
people
of
Minneapolis.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
them
and
including
their
ideas
and
the
work
that
they've
done
in
this
plan.
A
We're
never
going
to
make
everyone
happy
right
until
this
is
over
until
we
fixed
it,
and
so
I
I
really
do
appreciate
the
work
you've
done
and
Community
around
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
F
You,
madam
chair,
just
a
real,
quick
question:
you
had
an
estimated
cost
to
to
help
insulate
all
the
homes
in
in
Minneapolis
and
what
was
that
again?
There
was
a
20
million
dollars
or
40
million.
D
Council
member
rainville,
the
total
that
was
estimated,
which
was
part
of
our
research
study
from
the
Center
for
Energy
and
the
environment,
was
to
do
30.
000
homes
would
take
an
additional
one
billion
dollars
billion.
G
Over
usually
when
the,
when
the
thank
yous
are
getting
busted
out,
we're
wrapping
up,
but
we've
got
some
late
questions
here.
I
apologize
for
that.
Just
back
on
the
topic,
real
quick
of
the
Legacy
fund.
Do
we
know
how
much
I
guess
you
know
ballpark
what
amount
of
money
comes
in
through
those
through
those
sources
on
an
annual
basis,
or
is
our
analysis
sort
of
going
to
determine,
determine
that
but
like
at
the
moment?
What's
how
much
money
are
we
talking
about.
D
Chair
B
Town
council
member
Ellison
on
franchise
fee,
the
total
amount
of
money
that
comes
in
from
our
what
is
now
about
a
five
percent
franchise
fee,
though
it
varies
by
the
type
of
residential
commercial
or
industrial
use,
is
a
little
over
30
million
dollars
of
that
we
have
about
1.5
percent
dedicated
to
climate,
which
is
around
three
million
dollars
on
pcar
I'm,
not
quite
as
sure
on
that,
but
it
is
a
few
million
dollars,
all
of
which
is
going
back
into
programming.
D
For
you
know,
incentives
to
reduce
electrical
I
mean
sorry
to
reduce
energy
use
in
commercial
buildings,
but
also
commercial,
like
residential
buildings,
as
well
as
group
buy
programs
for
single-family
houses
where
they
come
together
to
do
solar
energy,
energy,
great.
G
D
Chair
veto
council,
member
Ellison
yeah,
that's
correct,
I
mean
we're
looking
at
right
now,
we'd
love
to
be
able
to
see
the
franchise
fee
be
less
regressive,
which
right
now
that's
all
flat
and
the
the
more
you
have
potentially
the
less
percentage
you
pay.
So
we're
looking
at
some
of
those
things,
but
residential
currently
pays
at
the
highest
level.
So
we're
really
hoping
to
see
how
we
can
maybe
move
the
needle
on
that.
D
But
at
this
point
in
time
that's
going
to
take
some
more
research
and
that's
what
we
we
do
have.
We
are
working
with
a
consultant
firm
on
that
as
well
too,
to
kind
of
look
at
different
ways
that
we
could
go
with
that
to
help
alleviate
the
or
reduce
the
regressiveness
of
that
the
fee.
Ultimately,
it
is
paid
as
rate
payers
or
citizens.
Whoever
has
a
bill
from
utilities,
does
pay
into
that
and
includes
residents
and
businesses
and
Industry
and
and
for
p
carts
a
little
it's
a
smaller
Universe.
D
It's
about
a
thousand
total
users.
Those
who
are
amid
carbon
dioxide
are
a
much
smaller
subset
of
that,
maybe
under
a
hundred.
So
it's
to
so
to
start
regulating
around
carbon
dioxide
emissions
is
because
we
get
that
information
only
from
large
emitters,
and
it
comes
from
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
agency.
It's
a
smaller
Universe
than
the
total
number
of
folks
that
pay
into
pcar.
So
that's
kind
of
what
we're
also
analyzing
and
who
pays
into
that
as
well,
too.
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
That's
that's
great
information
and
I'll
just
sort
of
join
the
course
of
thank
yous
as
well.
You
know,
I
know
that
it's
always
tough
when
you're,
you
know
we
create
policy
here
that
affects
people's
lives
right,
and
that
means
that
people
are
going
to
have
a
a
strong
interest
in
making
sure
that
we
get
it
right.
That
means
that
you
know
you
and
your
team
I
think
have
done
an
incredible
job
of
putting
this
together.
The
community
is
now
seeing
it
they're
going
to
take
that
feedback.
G
It's
the
job
of
you
know
us
to
be
thick-skinned
here
and
and
both
defend
your
work,
but
also
make
sure
that
we're
being
responsive
to
community,
and
so
just
want
to
appreciate
that
and
I
know
that
we're
I'm
excited
to
hear
what
the
community
has
to
say
as
well
and
I'm
sure
that
there's
always
ways
for
us
to
improve
things
like
engagement
and
you
know,
get
get
firmer
on
sources
of
funding
timelines.
All
those
things
we
need
to
do
that.
You
know,
as
councilmember
wansley
pointed
out,
but
also
I
just
want
to.
G
Thank
you
for
being
receptive.
You
and
your
team
putting
this
together
and
pursuing
this
work
and
I'm
excited
to
hear
what
the
community
has
to
say
as
well.
D
Ahead,
I
was
just
gonna
say.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
those
kind
words
and
I
just
reiterate
that
I'm
very
sincere
in
the
fact
that
I
want
we
want.
My
team
really
wants
to
have
the
best
plan
possible
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
so
we're
taking
all
of
these
comments
very
seriously
and
incorporating
those
knowing
there's
a
lot
of
different
sort
of
juggling.
We
have
to
do
to
put
it
all
together,
but
we're
excited
about.
We've
got
I,
think
a
really
good
foundation.
D
A
You
director
Havey,
going
to
now
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing.
If
you
haven't
signed
up
to
speak
yet,
please
see
the
clerks
to
sign
up
I'll.
Ask
you
to
state
your
name
for
the
record
and
keep
your
comments
to
two
minutes,
and
the
clerks
are
keeping
time
for
us.
I'll
go
through
the
list
of
speakers
in
the
order
in
which
they
registered
I'm
I
can
read
most
of
the
names,
but
if
I
can't,
please
forgive
me
in
advance,
the
first
person
is
Dan
McConnell.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
councilmember,
Dan
McConnell,
president
of
Minnesota,
Building
Trades,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
today
to
come
in
and
share
a
perspective
on
this
plan.
Let's
start
by
saying
as
I'd,
rather
than
a
Long
Fellow
neighborhood
and
I'm
half
of
the
14
000
members
of
the
Minneapolis
Building
Trades
and
the
70
000
members
of
the
Minnesota
Building
Trades.
H
We
have
many
that
work
and
live
in
the
city.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
personally
and
professionally
I
support
climate
equity
action,
I'm,
a
parent
of
a
young
child
I
wanted
to
inherit
a
healthy
environment
and
a
healthy
economy
that
provides
family,
supporting
job
opportunities
for
all
our
residents.
Many
of
the
members
I
represent
are
hard
at
work
today.
Building
out
green
economy
in
infrastructure
such
as
the
new
solar
array
in
Becker,
Minnesota
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
for
taking
climate
change
seriously.
H
As
I'd
like
to
say,
I
would
like
to
say
I'm
excited
about
the
document.
Unfortunately,
we're
a
little
disappointed
and
frustrated
by
the
fact
that
they've
been
drafted
without
any
input
from
labor
or
the
billing
trades
over
my
career,
I've,
often
hired
staff
say
that
they
have
an
extensive
stakeholder
process.
Unfortunately,
labor
is
often
overlooked
in
that
process.
H
It's
a
little
bit
amazing
that
a
client
plan,
that's
still
kind
of,
would
so
drastically
impact
the
lives
of
working
men
and
women
and
cannot
be
implemented
with
other
members.
I
can
make
it
all
the
way
without
any
engagement
with
labor.
In
fact,
the
word
Union
does
not
appear
once
in
the
100
page
document
as
you're
seeking
funding
I
would
know
what
the
Biden
Administration
has
prioritized
Partnerships
with
organized
labor
and
in
fact
the
grant
programs
you're
aware
of
that
would
assist
in
this
work,
give
additional
points
towards
having
labor
support.
H
H
H
H
To
sum
up,
we
support
this
initiative,
but
we
have
concerns
about
a
minute
omitting
any
engagement
with
labor
as
well
as
some
specific
revisions.
We
believe
that,
including
all
stakeholders
would
be
the
best
way
to
achieve
a
plan
that
would
be
effective
in
reaching
our
shared
goals.
As
this
plan
is
just
a
draft,
we
would
respectively
ask
for
the
opportunity
to
engage
with
staff
to
improve
the
plan,
including
incorporating
Provisions,
to
bring
individuals
from
underrepresented
communities
into
Union
careers
to
achieve
this
work.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
A
I
You,
council,
member
chair
and
council
members,
Kevin
pranas
on
behalf
of
lyona
council
members.
You
know
lyona
are
members,
build
and
maintain
the
city,
streets
and
Transit
infrastructure
in
the
water
and
sewer
and
energy
systems,
both
as
city
employees
through
local
363
and
his
construction
laborers
represented
by
local
563.
Lane,
has
been
fully
engaged
on
climate
action
from
serving
on
the
governor's
climate
advisory
Council
to
helping
craft
and
pass
both
100
carbon
free
standard
and
the
natural
gas
Innovation
act
to
turn
clean
energy
jobs
into
good
jobs
that
are
available
to
local
workers.
I
We
support
bold
climate
action
like
Mr
McConnell.
However,
we
are
deeply
disappointed
that
this
plan
was
developed
without
involvement
or
apparent
concern
for
organized
labor.
We
don't
believe
that's
consistent
with
the
way
the
city
wants
to
do
business.
Apparently
some
stakeholders
have
been
involved
for
months
or
years
While.
Others
like
us,
found
out
about
this
last
week.
Goals
are
exciting,
but
I
would
in
fact
I.
I
Think,
council,
member
wansley,
said
most
of
what
I
would
say
about
the
goals
which
is
the
goals
are
very
exciting,
but
there
are
not
Pathways
that
make
it
clear
how
those
goals
would
be
achieved
or
what
it
would
cost,
or
what
achievement
of
one
goal
could
I
do
to
undercut
achievement
of
other
goals
or
of
the
services,
the
reliability
and
affordability
of
the
services
that
our
citizens
depend
on,
and
those
are
important
things
that
need
to
be
worked
out
before
we
can
commit.
In
my
view,
for
the
city
for
goals.
I
I
would
also
like
to
talk
about
three
specific
items
of
concern:
around
affordability,
energy
burdens
about
three
things:
it's
about
efficiency,
cost
and
income,
and
here
we're
we
absolutely
need
to
invest
in
efficiency,
but
it's
also
about
keeping
costs
down,
and
we
need
to
figure
out
which
pieces
of
the
plan
push
costs
up
and
how
much
that's
going
to
affect
affordability
as
well
as
income.
Good
jobs
are
what
make
energy
bills
affordable.
There's
only
so
much.
I
We
can
do
in
the
end
to
reduce
energy
bills
compared
to
Bringing
income
to
people,
and
that's
not
part
of
this
plan.
I'd
say
second
for
replacement
of
gas
infrastructure
and
gas
connections.
It
is
unclear
what
the
plan
means,
but
if
what
the
plan
says
about
replacing
outdated
pipe
suggests
that
a
pipe
somewhere
in
the
middle
of
gas
infrastructure
starts
to
reach
the
end
of
life
and
we're
just
going
to
remove
it
and
shut
down
the
whole
infrastructure
in
entire
neighborhoods.
I
That
would
be
a
big
problem
for
the
citizens
of
Minneapolis
and
that's
not
clarified
and
finally,
in
the
franchise
agreements
with
the
utilities,
our
members
and
other
trades
work
for
those
utilities
keeping
the
lights
on,
and
we
would
really
appreciate
the
chance
to
be
part
of
those
conversations
rather
than
to
learn.
After
the
fact
what's
been
done
to
us
and
then
they'll
explain
what
the
labor
force
is.
So
we
would
ask
for
a
broader
inclusion
of
stakeholders.
We
really
appreciate
council
members
in
your
time
and
hope
to
work
together
to
create
a
plan.
A
J
Adam
Hudgins
thanks
committee
first
off.
Thank
you
for
letting
us
come
voice.
Our
concerns
with
the
program
or
with
the
plan
I'm,
a
lifelong
Minneapolis
resident
I
grew
up
all
over
Minneapolis
I
currently
live
in
councilman
Payne's
Ward
I've
been
a
member
of
local
563
for
about
18
years.
I
joined
the
laborers
union
after
an
amazing
teacher
at
North,
High,
actually
mentored
me
in
the
into
a
rewarding
career
in
construction,
local
563
members.
As
you
know,
we
live.
We
work
in
Minneapolis
and
I.
J
Think
we've
been
completely
left
out
of
the
draft
when,
when
it
comes
to
the
transition
of
our
energy
usage
and
production,
I
would
strongly
encourage
that
we
keep
in
mind
those
folks
that
have
been
successfully
and
reliably
keeping
the
lights
on
and
our
homes
warm
this
entire
time.
We
share
in
the
goals
to
achieve
affordability,
equity
and
climate
progress
and
it's
hard,
but
but
we
don't
get
there
without
engaging
workers.
J
Essentially,
so
we
we
appreciate
the
goals
we
believe
in
the
goals,
but
you
have
to
engage
workers
that
have
been
doing
the
work
and
are
going
to
do
the
work
in
the
future
in
that
progress.
In
that
change,
I
want
to
say
thanks
to
councilman
Payne,
who
had
brought
up
the
Workforce
question.
Currently,
our
our
membership
have
a
three-year
apprenticeship
program.
That's
at
no
cost
to
their
members.
J
They
can
go.
There,
learn
all
the
skills
needed
to
implement
the
program
as
you're
talking
about
it,
because
all
this
is
going
to
require
being
built
out
and
we
already
have
a
network
and
we
have
a
network
of
schools
that
we
engage
with.
We
have
a
network
of
Community
Partners,
all
over
the
state
and
in
the
city
to
bring
folks
in
that
may
not
have
had
a
route
into
construction
before
we
are
already
building
those
Pathways
that
you're
you're,
hoping
to
achieve
and
just
to
be
left
out
of.
J
The
conversation
from
the
start
has
been
disheartening,
so
we'd
encourage
that
everybody
gets
brought
to
the
table
for
the
discussion
going
forward
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
K
K
As
a
retired
teacher
I've
seen
many
young
people
get
the
message
that
the
only
way
to
be
a
useful
part
of
society
was
to
be
a
college.
Graduate
I'm
well
aware
of
the
efforts
that
the
unions
have
been
putting
forth
the
free
Pathways
for
training
and
I
applaud
council
member
Payne
and
wansley
for
looking
at
what
are
the
pathways
and
I
would
urge
you
to
make
sure
that
the
unions
that
already
have
wonderful,
Pathways
into
construction
are
being
included
in
this.
They
have
the
resources,
they
know
how
to
train
the
people.
Thank
you.
H
L
Foreign
good
afternoon,
chair
Vito
and
committee
members,
Elle
swintech,
with
CenterPoint
Energy,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
make
some
comments.
They
were
about
five
minutes
long,
so
I'm
going
into
the
cliff
version,
we've
been
here
serving
the
City
of
Minneapolis
since
1870
over
150
years.
L
We're
members
of
the
clean
energy
partnership,
in
fact
we're
co-authors
of
the
clean
energy
partnership,
and
so
I've
got
a
few
things
about
the
plan
that
we
really
think
have
some
opportunity
for
collaboration
and
then
some
other
areas
of
a
concern
with
regard
to
the
collaboration
first
and
foremost,
insulating
and
air
sealing
homes
is
the
absolute
most
important
thing
that
can
be
done
and
we
want
to
help
with
that.
Helping
low
income
and
disadvantaged
residents
energy
improve
the
Energy
Efficiency
of
their
homes
at
no
cost.
We're
all
about
that.
L
Obviously,
working
on
Commercial
and
multi-family
very
important
and
leveraging
the
clean
energy
or
excuse
me,
the
natural
gas
Innovation
act
with
regard
to
the
concerns
there
are
really
four.
First,
one
is
linking
or
attempting
to
link
the
franchise
agreements
with
climate
Equity
goals
that
neither
the
city
or
Center
Point
have
the
complete
opportunity
to
really
control.
We
think
that's
a
concern.
L
Changing
the
franchise
fee
in
a
way
that
our
our
Billing
System
cannot
handle
is
a
concern,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
that
that's
addressed
with
regard
to
the
end
of
life
prioritizing
electricity
over
and
the
life
gas
infrastructure.
As
was
mentioned,
we
can't
just
take
a
piece
of
pipe
out
of
service
without
impacting
the
entire
neighborhood
when
that
happens,
and
then,
lastly,
really
prioritizing
the
dual
fuel
gas
in
combination
with
an
air
source
heat
pump.
We
think
that's
a
great
idea.
L
M
Thank
you,
chair
vitel,
my
name
is
Rebecca
Doyle,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
and
I?
Am
the
new
director
of
community
power
a
minneapolis-based
energy
democracy?
Non-Profit
this
climate
Equity
plan
is
a
good
starting
point.
The
goals
are
good,
but
it's
not
enough.
There
is
no
plan
to
implement
to
the
scale
needed
to
achieve
these
goals
on
time.
While
this
plan
is
more
robust
than
its
2013
predecessor,
without
implementation
plans
and
accountability,
it
could
face
the
same
fate.
M
That
plan
was
a
long
list
of
actions
without
a
clear
process
for
how
it
would
be
carried
out.
As
a
result,
few
items
were
pursued
thoroughly
and
with
no
accountability
measures.
Not
only
do
we
have
little
to
show
for
it,
but
we
have
no
one
to
blame
for
ours,
but
ourselves.
What
gets
measured
gets
done?
The
plan
currently
states
that
work
on
the
goals
will
begin
quote
within
the
next
five
years.
M
End
quote:
please
add
timelines
to
the
strategies,
measurable,
outputs
and
identify
who
is
responsible
for
each
part
of
the
plan
to
increase
its
likelihood
of
success.
Mobilizing
to
meet
the
challenge
of
the
climate.
Emergency
will
take
additional
and
dedicated
funds
invested
in
an
equitable,
clean
energy
climate
resilient
transition.
The
city
is
leading
these
efforts,
but
organizations
that
residents
trust
should
be
engaging
the
communities
and
neighborhoods
directly.
M
The
community
benefit
plans
must
be
specific,
actionable
and
measurable.
Data
must
be
collected
and
reported
showing
how
the
benefits
are
directed
to
disadvantaged
communities.
Setting
this
standard
as
part
of
the
climate
Equity
plan
will
Place
Minneapolis
far
ahead
of
other
cities
competing
for
the
same
funding.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
N
N
We
have
the
summit,
we
have
solar
panel,
we
have
Marquis
I'm,
served
two
years
consecutively
on
the
North
side,
green
zone
task
force,
I'm
a
native
minnesotian
born
and
raised
here,
I'm,
the
first
black
environmental
scientist
to
graduate
with
my
degree
from
the
north
side
of
Minneapolis
dealing
with
racism
and
the
unions.
The
workforce
in
this
city
is
racist.
We
can
get
trained
all
we
want
and
when
we
people
that
look
like
me
deal
or
different
shapes
and
sizes
have
to
deal
with
racism
on
their
job
they
quit.
N
So
we
don't
have
the
people
that
have
the
capacity,
the
unions
and
these
construction
people
that
say
they
have
the
opportunity
for
our
communities,
don't
have
the
backing
to
support
People
Like
Us
I
work
very
hard,
analytically,
from
the
training
that
I
received
that
I
received
the
show
everybody
I
was
just
as
smart
as
people
that
don't
look
like
me
every
day,
I
walk
through
that
school
I
got
called
the
n-word,
but
not
just
by
the
students
but
by
the
professors.
I
was
removed
from
that
campus.
N
To
get
my
degree,
that's
how
important
this
work
was
to
me
and
to
have
the
opportunity
to
work
on
this
and
to
analytically
look
at
it
critically
and
put
input
and
the
team.
Listen
to
me
me
me
and
took
that
into
consideration.
I
want
to
say,
I'm
ashamed
of
you,
people,
Miss
Miss
Jackson
of
the
residents
in
Minneapolis
that
that's
still
excluded,
because
it
was
open
to
the
general
public,
all
the
workforce
and
everything
until
they
change
their
workers.
N
Mind
about
people
that
look
like
me,
the
women
and
the
and
and
people
different
shapes
sizes
and
color
hair
to
work
together
to
make
this
work.
We
will
always
be
at
odds,
but
they
need
to
stop
the
racism
in
these
entities
to
build
this.
A
stronger
society
and
City
we're
already
healing
from
George
Floyd,
and
this
is
the
aftermath.
O
Hello,
of
course,
I
gave
comments
to
the
plan
through
the
through
that
and
I
would
concur
with
many
of
the
people
that
reached
out
to
all
of
your
offices
about
the
need
for
specific
timeline,
specific
action
agenda,
so
not
just
a
specific
goal.
But
how
exactly
do
we
move
towards
that
goal
for
reducing
emissions?
And
things
like
that?
O
But
also
it's
timely,
as
the
director
said
today,
where
New
York
City
had
the
worst
air
quality
in
the
entire
world,
so
when
he
was
comparing
it
to
New
Delhi,
it
wasn't
in
the
entire
world.
New
York
City
had
the
worst
air
quality
because
there
are
a
series
of
wildfires
that
are
in
Quebec
that
are
directly
jet
streaming
into
New,
York
City
and
so
there's
nothing
stopping
Minneapolis
from
having
the
same
fate,
either
later
this
summer
or
next
summer,
or
any
of
the
Summers.
O
After
that,
and
so
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
last
year
about
operational
decisions
and
what
we
Center
when
we
make
those
decisions
for
the
public,
realm
and
I
would
just
I
was
thinking
about.
When
the
director
was
speaking.
It's
a
lot
cheaper.
It
saves
lives
to
have
cheap
red
paint
for
a
bus
lane,
instead
of
having
red
skies
for
the
rest
of
our
lives.
O
P
P
We
can
choose
to
fully
fund
a
robust
major
plan
to
deal
with
our
intertwined
major
challenges
of
climate
change
and
systemic
inequities.
Please
be
brave,
be
bold.
Please
commit
to
move
our
city
forward
by
fully
funding
the
10-year
climate
Equity
plan
and
begin
the
work.
Now
we
need
serious
money
and
serious
detailed
timelines.
If
we
have
that
we
have
a
chance
in
the
next
decade
that
our
city,
all
the
residents,
regardless
of
race
and
income
and
zip
code,
all
of
us
have
a
better
chance
to
live
in
a
Greener,
more
Equitable
City.
Q
Since
then,
I've
watched
this
fall
way
short
of
our
2013
plans,
75
goals
for
whole
house
Energy,
Efficiency
retrofits,
because
Excel
and
Center
Point
have
not
offered
us
the
field
tested
version
of
inclusive
financing.
Despite
several
years
of
us
asking
them
to
I
personally
collected
over
a
thousand
signatures
to
Excel
for
it
and
watch
Center
Point
refuse
to
agree
to
last
year's
pilot
Project
without
getting
a
minimum
desired
profit.
Q
Q
But
it's
been
very
hard
to
find
out
if
those
dollars
are
going
toward
the
intended
purpose
of
helping
the
energy
cost
burden.
That
teaches
us
a
valuable
lesson
for
now,
while
I
do
not
want
the
basic
framework
of
the
plan
to
be
endlessly
delayed
by
budget
negotiations,
it
needs
to
have
in
it
a
process
for
transparency
and
accountability,
and
for
that
I
have
some
suggested.
Q
A
R
R
Mayor
Frye
endorses
a
bold
vision
for
climate
inequity.
The
mayor
with
the
support
of
all
council
members
and
a
very
dedicated
climate
activists
announced
support
of
a
comprehensive
and
bold
climate
and
Equity
plan.
The
existential
Public
Health
crisis
of
a
looming
climate
disaster
can
no
longer
be
ignored.
Thank
you.
A
S
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
council
members,
my
name
is
Eliana
lippold
Johnson
I
live
in
Linden,
Hills
and
Ward
13.
I'm
about
eight
months
pregnant,
and
you
know
I've
wanted
to
be
out
in
my
garden
this
weekend.
Instead
I've
been
inside
because
of
the
air
quality
warnings
I'm
in
a
WhatsApp
group
with
about
75
other
neighborhood
moms
and
the
conversation
this
week
has
turned
to.
Does
anyone
have
a
book,
a
children's
book
picture
book
about
air
quality
or
climate
change
and
I?
Think
it's
really
critical.
S
You
know
we're
sitting
here
with
the
air
looking
like
it
does
outside
that
we
pass
a
plan
that
has
better
accountability,
measures
and
timelines
and
dedicated
funding,
and
it
would
be
absolute
Insanity
not
to
include
those
things
in
this
plan.
It's
a
big
plan
that
we're
only
revising
every
10
years.
By
that
time,
this
baby
will
be
an
element.
Entry
School
and
I.
S
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
can
talk
to
the
neighbors
and
families
in
my
group
and
say
like
this
is
something
big
and
good
that
Minneapolis
is
doing,
and
without
a
clear
funding
source
and
a
clear
timeline,
then
it
would
be
devastating
and
really
disappointing.
So
I
urge
you
to
make
sure
that
this
plan
includes
a
clear
timeline
and
a
clear
funding
source.
Thank.
A
T
Hello,
chair,
Vita,
Sean,
gershwski,
Ward
9
and
we've
been
meeting
a
lot
with
councilmember
Chavez
on
these
things
and
I'm
very
excited
about
all
of
your
talks
on
external
Partnerships,
so
councilmember
Payne
in
wansley,
I,
totally
back
you
up
on
generating
a
bunch
of
momentum
from
Beyond
the.
U
T
We
have
this
amazing
amount
of
new
federal
money
coming
through
what,
for
example,
Pete
Wyckoff
was
in
Senator
Tina
Smith's
office
is
now
working
for
Department
of
Commerce
to
help
us
figure
out
how
to
get
this
money
out.
The
door
Hennepin
County
their
board
passed
nine
eight
to
zero
their
climate
action
plans.
So
we
really
need
to
lean
on
Hennepin
County
for
their
resources,
especially
related
to
job
training,
and
then
concern
is
that
the
neighborhood
groups
are
kind
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
stay
alive
when
the
funding
is
going
away.
T
So
how
do
we
maintain
upreach
capacity
to
reach
neighbors
for
home,
weatherization
and
other
things
so
trying
to
figure
out
the
community
engagement
part
of
it?
So
on
my
feedback
here,
the
key
point
is
having
annual
report
meetings
on
accountability
for
maintaining
implementation,
something
similar
to
the
capital
long-range
Improvement
committee,
where
you
can
figure
out
where
the
money
is
going
and
what
it's
getting
done.
T
Another
aspect
is
collaborative
implementation,
so
for
every
strategy
you
can
bring
together
people
who
helped
write
the
plan,
the
non-profits
The
Advocates
and
the
unions
to
help
Implement
each
strategy
and
then,
for
example,
underneath
Marine
economy
and
Workforce.
It
would
be
good
to
know
how
much
work
are
we
getting
done
now?
How
much
for
we
want
to
get
done?
How
many
contractors
do
we
need?
How
many
workers
do
we
need
so
for
each
aspect
of
trees,
green
infrastructure,
weatherization,
solar?
You
can
figure
out
the
gaps.
V
T
W
Thank
you
for
the
past
year
and
a
half
I've
been
helping
mn350
organize
in
Ward
2
and
Ward
9.
My
boundaries
shifted,
but
I've
been
listening
to
folks
in
those
Wards,
and
the
main
thing
I
hear
is
that
everyone
is
worried
that
the
City
of
Minneapolis
isn't
going
to
step
up
in
the
big
bold
way
it
needs
to
they'll
talk
a
nice
game
like
they
always
do,
but
especially
they're
not
going
to
step
up
with
the
money.
I
have
heard
I've
read
several
independent
estimates
of
what
it
would
cost
to
insulate
Electrify
clean
Transportation.
W
All
the
things
included
in
the
plan
over
the
next
10
years.
Setting
aside
the
federal
money,
something
like
3.86
billion
dollars,
I,
don't
know
how
State
funding
fits
into
that.
But
that's
a
lot
of
money,
but
I
can
also
tell
you
that
there
are
large
entities
in
this
city
that
have
been
emitting
greenhouse
gases
for
years
without
having
to
pay
any
fees
like
they
have
to
pay
for
other
kinds
of
pollution
that
they
create.
W
There's
a
source
of
money
right
there
and
I
hope
that
all
I
think
our
fervent
wish
is
that
you
and
the
City
of
Minneapolis
will
be
bold
enough
to
stand
up
to
those
entities
that
can
afford
to
pay
and
get
the
money
that
we
need
in
a
dedicated
fund
to
make
sure
this
actually
happens
over
the
next
10
years.
It's
a
crisis
and
you
guys
have
to
come
up
with
the
money.
Everyone
I've
talked
to
is
afraid
that
the
City
of
Minneapolis
won't
and
I
really
really
hope.
You
will.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
X
Name
for
the
record
right,
hi,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Kelsey
Murphy
I
am
a
volunteer
with
m350
and
I'm,
basically,
here
to
explain
why
this
plan
is
so
important
to
me:
I
am
27
years
old.
Climate
change
is
something
that
I
have
to
factor
into
all
my
plans
for
the
future.
I
often
discuss
with
friends.
If
we
should
move
further
north
if
life
quality
would
be
better
up
there
because
of
climate
change,
because
you
know
I've
read
that
from
the
ipcc
reports
that
Minnesota
will
become
hotter
will
have
worse.
Summers
we'll
have
more
wildfires.
X
We'll
have
crop
failures.
Things
like
that,
so
we
discuss
as
friends.
Should
we
go
north?
Do
we
even
bother
saving
for
retirement,
because,
what's
that
going
to
mean
in
60
years
or
whatever,
when
we
retire,
so
I
just
wanted
to
come
here
and
reiterate
what
a
real
fear
this
is
for
people
in
My
Generation
and
just
to
really
push
everyone
here
at
the
sustainability
Department,
the
council,
everyone
involved
to
do
as
much
as
they
possibly
can
to
prevent
that
future.
From
being
you
know,
kind
of
the
terror
that
I've
been
told
about.
X
It
gives
me
a
lot
of
Hope
knowing
that
people
are
here
discussing
it
and
trying
to
make
it
good,
but
I'd
really
like
us
to
push
as
hard
as
we
can
to
make
it
as
good
as
possible.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Y
Good
afternoon,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Albee
Benson
I
live
on
Ward
one
I've
been
a
volunteer
with
mn350
organizing
on
behalf
of
people's
climate
and
Equity
plan,
thanks
so
much
to
council
member
Payne
for
meeting
with
us.
Y
I
want
to
Echo
a
lot
of
the
things
that
have
been
said
already
in
terms
of
being
concerned
about
the
timeline
of
this
plan
within
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
Isn't
quickly
enough
to
take
action
and
we
do
need
specificity
in
this
timeline.
Y
One
of
the
other
things
that
I
really
want
to
highlight
is
a
lot
of
the
federal
funds
and
other
funds
that
are
available
for
fighting
climate
change.
Right
now
are
really
focused
on
homeowners,
as
opposed
to
renters
and
I.
Think
we
have
a
real
opportunity
in
Minneapolis
to
upgrade
larger
rental
properties
as
a
part
of
this
plan,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we're
really
going
to
need
money
and
staff
at
the
city
to
implement
these
plans.
So
really
look
forward
to
seeing
more
timelines
and
more
details
about
that.
Thank.
AA
Thank
you,
madam
Council,
chair
and
members
for
allowing
us
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
you,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
not
only
my
children
and
grandchildren,
but
future
Generations
who
will
follow
us.
We
are
at
a
point
in
our
human
history
where,
frankly,
we
Face
the
eradication
of
the
human
race.
AA
Personally,
I've
invested
a
hundred
thousand

I'm
a
retired
Pastor,
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
my
own
money
to
get
an
EV
electric
charging
station
solar
panels,
but
I
can
only
do
so
much
I
did
it
to
understand
what
it
takes
to
do,
what
we
can
to
make
a
difference
so
that
future
Generations
will
simply
have
the
opportunity
to
exist.
I
beg
you
urge
you
to
find
the
funding
and
dedicate
that
funding
in
order
to
move
forward
with
this
plan.
AA
That
has
eloquent
wording
but,
as
it's
been
pointed
out
as
very
little
teeth,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
there
about
timelines
about
funding
that
takes
political
courage
and,
honestly,
it's
not
just
Republican
or
Democrats
or
Independents.
It's
all
of
us
will
be
affected
by
climate
change.
As
the
gentleman
eloquently
pointed
out,
those
not
just
in
Africa
but
on
our
borders
to
the
South,
we
get
all
upset
about
all
those
migrants
coming
here
and
angry
that
they're
doing
what
they're
doing
they're
doing
it
because
of
climate
change
in
part,
it's
up
to
us
to
act.

Thank
you,
council
members
for
taking
up
this.
This
motion,
I,
don't
have
a
ton
to
say
other
than
climate
changes,
incredibly
scary,
I
think
to
people
my
age
who
have
been
living
with
it
and
will
continue
to
live
with
it,
and
you
know
it's
not
just
about
removing
carbon
missions
from
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
Other
people
have
already
spoken
to.
You
know
the
worldwide
effects
of
this.
V
The
worldwide
effects
of
you
know
petrochemical
extraction,
so
I
really
just
want
to
say,
I
support
this
plan
and
that
there's
really
no
such
thing
as
over.
Investing
in
climate
change
mitigation.
There's
no
such
thing
as
going
too
fast,
so
I
hope
that
you
will
approve
this
plan
and
improve
on
it
and
continue
to
invest
in
this.
You
know
and
I'll
just
say.
One
thing
somebody
mentioned
mentioned
earlier:
there's
no
place
for
fossil
gas
in
a
carbon-free
future.
So
thank
you.
AE
Thank
you,
chair
Vita
members
of
the
council.
My
name
is
Brett.
Smith
I
live
in
the
13th,
Ward
and
I'm
here,
because
I'm,
a
grandfather
of
for
wonderful
grandchildren
that
I
love,
deeply
and
I
know
that
they
will
grow
up
in
the
world
that
we
are
helping
to
create
and
we
can
either
create
a
world
that
is
not
on
fire
all
the
time
and
that
does
not
face
the
inequities
that
exist
in
Minneapolis.
AE
This
plan
gives
us
a
great
opportunity
to
address
both
of
those
critical
problems:
the
problems
of
climate
and
the
problems
of
inequity
and
Injustice,
and
it's
a
twofer.
It's
a
possible
win
for
for
both
of
those
things.
The
one
problem
I
have
a
lot
of
problems.
Many
of
them
have
been
mentioned:
I
I,
love
the
ambitious
goals
and
the
visions
of
this
plan.
What
bothers
me,
the
most
I
guess,
is
that
I
don't
see
a
link,
a
clear
link
between
the
programs
and
actions
and
the
reductions
in
CO2
emissions.
AE
That
is
you
can't
trans.
As
I
read
the
plan
I
can't
tell
which
of
the
programs
gets
the
biggest
bang
for
the
buck.
I
can't
tell
which
of
the
programs
actually
lead
us
to
the
goal
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
I.
It
feels
it
feels
a
little
bit
like
a
black
box.
To
me.
We
have
a
goal.
We
have
some
programs,
but
I
don't
see
the
linkages,
so
I
hope
that
you
will
take
that
into
consideration.
You'll
pass
a
strong
as
strong
as
possible
plan
and
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
you.
Thank.
A
AF
You
thank
you.
My

Thank
you
for
this
minute.
I've
been
teaching
environmental
science
courses
at
Dunwoody
college
for
20
years
and
each
year
I
ask
my
students
to
complete
a
carbon
footprint
activity.
The
activity
gives
students
an
opportunity
to
reflect
on
their
environmental
impact,
as
individuals
most
are
surprised
to
learn
that
we
would
need
five
to
nine
Planet
Earths
to
live.
If
everyone
on
the
planet
lived
as
they
lived
myself.
AF
I
live
in
a
family
of
four,
we
have
1100
square
foot
home
I
bike
commute
three
seasons
out
of
the
year:
it's
not
an
extravagant
lifestyle,
and
yet
I
would
need
three
and
a
half
Earths
to
live.
If
everyone
lived
like
I
did.
This
exercise
shows
us
that
we
as
individuals
don't
have
meaningful
control
over
the
impact
on
our
planet.
In
my
experience
in
student
conversations
over
the
last
two
decades,
reactions
are
very
consistent.
They
don't
feel
like
they
have
control
over
the
kinds
of
Transportation.
AF
They
take
the
kinds
of
appliances
they
have
where
their
electricity
comes
from.
How
insulated
their
homes
are
so
I
just
want
to
bring
this
perspective
from
my
classroom.
Room
humbly
I
see
that
residents
are
concerned
about
climate
change
and
they
want
to
live
sustainably,
but
they
feel
trapped
in
circumstances
that
they
just
don't
have
control
over.
So
we
need
policy
so
that
we
that
more
people
can
live
in
line
with
their
values.
Thank
you.

living
the
mercy,
homes,
neighborhood,
so
y'all
know
me:
I've
come
before
you
Myriad
times
for
many
reasons,
but
energy
environment
and
Justice
are
the
most
frequent
as
one
dedicated
one
who's
dedicated
my
efforts
to
help
build
this
plan.
I
am
proud
of
much
of
it
and
grateful
to
our
partners
in
sustainability
for
their
tireless
work,
but
there
are
a
few
things
that
we
need
to
build
up.
AH
We
need
to
ensure
that
the
conversation
from
guests
is
that
the
conversion
from
gas
systems
to
full-fledged
electrification,
heat
pumps
and
District
geothermal
systems,
which
will
provide
extensive
work
for
the
very
union
workers
currently
propping
up
the
gas
industry
and
many
many
more
are
brought
to
fruition.
If
we
generate
an
inclusive
financing
system,
we
can
swiftly
accelerate
our
just
transition
to
no
cut
at
no
cost
to
the
city
and
inclusive
Finance.
AH
Sorry,
and
while
our
just
transition
fund
will
provide
the
engine
to
drive
us
forward
to
achieving
the
rest
of
our
goals,
Minnesota
just
finished
showing
the
country
what
it's
like
to
lead
towards
a
future.
We
can
eventually
be
proud
of
it's
high
time.
We
in
Minneapolis
stepped
up
and
showed
Minnesota
how
it's
done.
AH
AH
This
does
not
lend
confidence
to
the
Future
councils
that
future
councils
will
be
inclined
to
leave
the
necessary
funds
where
they
are
needed
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
goals
and
this
plan.
I
know
we
can
do
this
properly,
but
we
need
to
be
resigned
to
doing
it
in
the
right
way.
From
the
beginning
that
has
been
presented
by
many
of
the
people
in
this
room
and
we
ask
you
to
follow
their
lead.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
AI
You,
madam
chair,
could
we
pull
number
four
out
of
the
consent
just
for
some
questions
after
we
do
the
rest
just
go
ahead
and
ask
the
questions
sure
my
questions
are
about
the
performance
engagement.
Sorry,
the
partnership
engagement
fund
I
know
that
there
were
19
projects
that
were
brought
forward
a
couple
Cycles
ago.
May
17th
and
these
are
an
additional
12
projects.
So
I'm
just
curious.
Are
there
more
that
are
coming
and
do
we
know
because
I
believe
there
were
a
lot
of
total
projects
submitted?
AJ
Chair
council
member,
thank
you
for
the
question.
My
name
is
Stephen
Gallagher
I'm,
the
neighbors
program
manager
for
neighboring
community
relations,
there's
a
total
of
one
million
dollars
in
the
partnership
engagement
fund
and
we're
working
through
all
of
the
applications,
and
then
they
go
through
a
legal
review
process
and
then
we're
bringing
them
here.
Some
of
that
legal
review
is
taking
a
little
bit
more
time
because
they
were
done
in
different
languages,
so
We're
translating
the
languages
putting
them
into
the
application
and
having
legal
review
last
year.
AJ
What
we
did
is
we
brought
the
projects
forward
here.
First
and
then
we
had
a
legal,
the
legal
team
go
over
it.
We
felt
like
this
was
a
better
way
to
do
it
to
have
everything
done
completely.
We
are
expecting
one
more
to
come
through
at
the
next,
the
next
committee
meeting
with
eight
more
projects,
and
that
would
be
the
final
one.
AI
So
so
these
projects
were
vetted
by
the
city
attorney's
office,
yes,
and
so
all
of
them
move
forward
with
the
city
attorney's
office
approval,
and
did
they
all
go
through
the
normal
RFP
process
and
follow
City
guidelines,
albeit
with
some
help.
It
sounds
like.
AJ
Chair
councilmember,
we
work
with
purecurement
legal
department
and
then
through
the
ncr's
policies
and
putting
this
out.
So
this
is
the
third
year
I
believe
so.
We've
kind
of
learned
along
the
way
about
how
to
make
this
process
better
for
both
the
city
and
our
partners.
So
there's
less
confusion
and
that's
that's
the
reason
why
we're
kind
of
going
through
here
so
that
does
go
through
legal
review.
It
does
go
through
Community
review
and
then
our
staff
review
as
well.
AI
If
I
just
a
couple
more
questions,
how
are
these
these
additional
funds
get
reflected
in
overall
neighborhood
funding
in
some
increasing
ways
right,
we've
made
accommodation
for
Equity
differences
with
the
Equitable
engagement
fund.
Now
it
looks
like
we're
doubling
some
groups:
net
impact
funding,
While
others
receive
nothing
so
I'm
curious.
Are
there
not
projects
that
have
been
submitted
or
are
we
do
you
see
it
as
us,
maybe
over
correcting?
AI
How
are
we?
How
are
we
reconciling
this?
For
example,
a
few
neighborhoods
this
year,
the
Bryn
Mawr
neighborhood,
is
still
under
twelve
thousand
dollars,
but
this
just
looking
the
Wittier
neighborhood
has
six
projects
now
in
this
fund
that
are
around
272
thousand
dollars,
and
you
know
it's
hard
enough
for
us
to
spend
money
when
we
have
it.
How
are
we
kind
of
are
we?
Are
we
looking
to
balance
that
out
geographically
or
is
that
just
happenstance.
AJ
So
their
chair
council,
member,
there's
I'll,
have
two
kind
of
answers
for
this.
One
is
that
we
do
matchmaking
events
with
neighborhood
organizations
and
the
cbo's
that
are
applying
those
neighborhoods
and
cbo's
come
together
to
have
the
application
so
at
a
higher
functioning
neighborhood
like
Whittier,
that
has
multiple
staff.
They're
able
to
have
do
have
more
infrastructure
to
assist
these
CBO
organizations
and
what
we're
finding
is
more
neighborhoods
are
coming
online
as
we
go
down
as
we
continue
this
this
process.
So
we
are
hopeful
and
I
believe
it
will
happen.
AJ
Is
that
more
neighborhoods
as
we
go
down
the
road
will
will
come
on
to
assist
some
other
cbo's
and
we
try
to
to
look
at
distribution
in
different
communities,
not
necessarily
neighborhoods,
but
communities
and
spread
out
through
the
through
the
city
and
then
those
neighborhoods
who
have
really
stepped
up
to
help
out
the
cbo's
in
the
partnership
engagement
fund.
Those
are
the
ones
that
are
in
the
contracts
in
future
years,
more
neighborhoods
will
come
in
and
be
a
partner
with
these.
AI
I
hope
so
you
know,
that's
kind
of
my
point
is
that
smaller
neighborhoods
lack
the
capacity
to
then
even
look
to
do
these
kinds
of
opportunities.
So
this
this
fund
is
budgeted
at
over
a
million
dollars
next
year
and
it
benefit
it
looks
like
it
will
ultimately
benefit
13
groups,
while
the
base
funding
for
neighborhoods
across
the
whole
city
is
quite
a
bit
less
than
that
it's
a
little
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
it
benefits
over
80
neighborhoods.
So
to
me,
I
just
want
to
point
out.
AI
That
seems
a
little
bit
out
of
balance.
We
have
a
lot
of
neighborhood
groups
that
don't
receive
enough
neighborhood
funding
to
be
sustainable
over
time
and
I
hope
that
we're
gonna
see
this
imbalance
analyzed
more
in
the
upcoming
legislative
directive.
So
that's
kind
of
my
point
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
E
You
chair,
Vita,
actually
Council
vice
president
raises
and
I
did
want
to
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
remind
her
and
and
the
rest
of
this
body
that,
and
you
know
we
did
pass
the
legislative
directive
back
in
December
based
off
of
questions
around
Pathways
for
a
maintaining
Equity
within
how
we
support
our
neighborhood
associations.
E
I
know
Council.
Vice
president
palmisano
was
the
lead
author
on
that
directive,
as
well
as
councilmember,
Payne
and
I
was
co-authors
on
it,
alongside
with
councilmember
Johnson
and
councilmember
Goodman.
So
there
from
my
understanding
there
is
work
to
get
that
robust
or
comprehensive
analysis
and
I'm
looking
at
the
legislative
directive
right
now
supposed
to
come
back,
June,
15th
and
also
one
of
the
components
in
which
you,
you
know,
really
focus
your
inquiry
on
Council.
E
Vice
president
is
point
two
of
this
to
save
director
of
we
asked
staff
to
report.
You
know
the
results,
Effectiveness
and
financial
analysis
of
the
three
neighborhood
funding
programs
that
includes
the
Equitable
engagement
fund,
partnership,
engagement
fund
and
collaboration
and
share
resources
fund.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
be
able
to
dive
deeper
into
that
conversations
around
neighborhood
funding.
E
It
seems
that
June
15th,
and
we
did
name
that
you
know
we
wanted
that
information
ahead
of
budget
or
the
mayor's
budget
in
August,
so
that
we
can
have
conversations
around
what
does
it
look
like
to
discuss?
You
know
neighborhood
funding
in
regards
to
that,
so
I'm
really
glad
that
this
body
was
proactive
back
in
December
and
thinking
of
this
and
really
looking
forward
to
you
know
the
results
of
that
legislative
directive,
and
it
sounds
like
actually
like
two
weeks
so
yeah
Cherry.
AJ
Councilmember
I
believe
I
decided
to
be
closer
to
in
July.
Then
it
will
June
15th
because
there
were
some
delays
starting
out,
but
we're
doing
some
some
good
work
work
and
just
on
that
piece,
we've
reached
out
to
Kira
to
see
what
they
could
bring
for
looking
at
what
the
metrics
are
is.
AJ
Can
they
describe
this
as
a
success
or
how
to
change
the
program
to
be
more
of
a
success?
So
we
wanted
to
have
an
outside
to
someone
outside
look
at
this
program,
as
well
as
our
own
internal
pieces,
internal
staff
within
the
city.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
a
two-pronged
approach.
When
we're
looking
at
this.
A
AJ
A
Thank
you,
I'd
like
to
next
call
on
the
clerk
to
talk
about
item
five
we're
going
to
be
sending
it
back
to
staff.
So
if
you
want
to
just
give
a
overview,
Mr
clerk
that'd
be
great.
Thank.
AG
You,
madam
chair,
just
just
for
the
body
and
for
the
members
of
the
public
here
the
proposal
that
was
submitted
to
the
body
for
consideration
around
the
membership
of
the
neighborhood
revital
revitalization
policy
board
has
been
previously
acted
on
by
the
city
council.
On
two
different
occasions.
There
are
resolutions
adopted
expressing
a
policy
intent
to
expand
the
membership
of
that
body
from
a
total
of
four
representatives
of
neighborhood
groups
to
I
believe
a
total
of
eight
seats
reserved
for
neighborhood
organizations.
AG
Unfortunately,
the
difficulty
we
have
are
I'll
blame
the
clerks
and
the
attorneys.
Here
we
tend
to
be
a
little
bit
nerdy
on
paperwork
and
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department,
following
up
on
those
resolutions,
attempted
to
implement
that
intention
expressed
by
the
body,
but
the
neighborhood
revitalization
program,
as
you
know,
and
the
policy
board
was
created
subsequent
to
State
legislation
and
we
codified
through
ordinances.
The
creation
of
the
policy
board
with
the
reauthorization
of
I'll
call
it
phase.
Two
and
Mr
Gallagher
can
correct
all
my
mistakes
that
I'm
about
to
make.
AG
These
acts,
formal
acts,
work
together
from
statute
to
ordinance
and
resolution,
and
the
resolution
would
of
course
create
a
conflict
with
the
ordinance
which
stands
and
says
there
may
only
be
four
and
so
in
order
to
bring
that
forward.
We're
asking
you
to
refer
that
back
to
staff
so
that
we
can
get
the
right
paperwork
and
get
the
right
intentionality
around
that.
So
it
would
be
bringing
forward
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
code.
We
can
only
change
the
code
by
ordinance,
not
resolution,
so
I
think
there
is
a
drafting
error
in
the
code.
AG
That
said,
we
could
change
it
by
resolution.
We
really
need
to
do
that
by
ordinance.
That's
going
to
take
a
little
bit
longer
period
of
time
for
us
to
get
that
forward
and
then
also
to
bring
forward
the
I
think
I'll
call
it.
The
district
map
am
I,
correct,
Mr,
Gallagher,
the
district
map
outlining
those
seats
and
the
election
procedures
via
a
resolution,
which
is
a
policy
for
the
Enterprise,
not
merely
emotion
as
it
was
framed
up
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
little
bit
more
intentionality
and
formality.
AG
That
needs
to
be
done
in
the
documentation
to
reflect
council's
policy
intention,
not
to
say
that
those
intentions
weren't
previously
captured
by
acts
of
the
body,
but
that
we
as
staff
failed
to
bring
those
forward
in
the
right
manner.
So
we're
simply
asking
you
to
refer
that
back
to
us,
so
we
can
bring
it
forward
in
the
right
way.
I
apologize
for
that
slip
of
the
correct
paperwork
and
form
and
and
apologize
to
Mr
Gallagher
for
not
getting
him.
That
advice
in
advance.
A
Thank
you.
Clerk
Carl
I
will
move
approval
of
the
consent
agenda,
including
referring
back
item
five
to
staff,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
nay,
that
carries
in
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
Thank
you
all
so
much
and
thank
you
clerk
for
the
information.
The
next
item
is
receiving
and
filing
the
presentation
on
the
response
to
the
opioid
epidemic.
Here
to
kick
off.
The
presentation
is
Deputy
Commissioner,
Heidi
Ritchie,
welcome.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
commissioner
earlier
this
week
around
the
content
of
the
presentation,
and
we
are
having
a
discussion
around
some
of
the
changes
that
happened
at
the
state
legislature
and
we
were
debating
whether
or
not
it'd
be
beneficial
to
delay
this
presentation.
In
light
of
some
of
those
changes
that
the
state
legislature,
I,
was
just
curious.
C
If
there's
a
in
this
brief
period
of
time
since
I've
had
that
conversation
was
some
of
that
content
able
to
be
woven
into
what's
going
to
be
presented
today,
or
should
we
revisit
some
of
what
we're
going
to
see
today
in
light
of
maybe
some
deeper
analysis
of
some
of
those
changes
that
happened,
that
the
state
I
was
just
curious.
If
you
had
a
perspective
on
this
because
I'd
be
happy
to
make
a
motion
to
delay,
if
that
would
be
beneficial
to
have
that
more
complete
representation
of
the
information?
Okay,.
U
Chair
Rita
advice,
chair
paid
and
members
of
the
committee
I
think
we
did
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
Omnibus
Bill,
that
is,
that
was
passed
at
the
state.
So
we
know
that
there's
some
things
included
that
we
still
need
some
further
further
anal
analyzation
of,
but
we
did
talk
with
the
City
Attorney's
office.
We're
comfortable
going
forward
with
the
presentation,
as
we
have
it
now,
which
is
really
focused
on
this
legislative
directive
but
as
you'll
see
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
G
U
C
U
Now
excellent:
well,
my
name
is
Heidi
Ritchie
and
I'm.
The
Deputy
Commissioner
of
the
Minneapolis
health
department
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
committee
for
allowing
my
team,
the
opioid
response
team
and
myself
to
come
and
present
and
respond
to
the
staff
Direction.
It's
staff
Direction
2022-00698,
which
is
prior
to
our
legislative
directives.
So
it's
still
the
old
holdover
of
a
staff
directive.
This
directive
was
authored
by
council
member
Payne.
U
The
directive
was
to
have
the
health
department
explore
Pathways
for
supporting
a
medication-assisted
therapy
facility
and
report
back
with
options
and
recommendations
to
the
public
health
and
safety
committee.
I
will
note
that
we
had
conversations
with
the
author
and
we
kind
of
broadened
that
a
little
bit
just
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
was
a
good
understanding
of
both
the
legal
and
political
and
then
also
the
scientific
environment
around
just
some
of
the
different
types
of
facilities
that
there
are
out
there
that
address
opioid
use
disorder,
foreign.
U
So
the
statement
of
the
problem
and
you
can
go
in
many
neighborhoods
in
the
city
and
and
see
this
anecdotally
for
yourself,
but
some
numbers
with
the
rate
of
fatal
opioid
overdoses
has
increased
by
130
percent
in
Minneapolis
between
2017
and
2021
in
2021.
The
rate
for
fatal
overdoses
in
Minneapolis
was
4.6
per
10
000
residents,
the
rate
for
opioid
deaths
among
American
Indian
residents,
which
was
82.3
per
10
000
and
among
black
residents.
U
U
Harm
reduction
is
defined
as
the
range
of
intentional
Public
Health
practices
and
policies
designed
to
decrease
stigma
around
addiction
and
reduce
negative
social
and
or
physical
consequences
associated
with
substance
use
disorder.
Examples
include
syringe
exchange
and
naloxone
education
and
distribution.
U
We
have
also
heard
it
referred
to
as
medication,
assisted
therapy
or
medication
assisted
treatment,
so
those
terms
are
used.
Interchangeably
treatment
is
defined
as
the
process
for
helping
someone
struggling
with
addiction,
which
includes
detoxification
medication,
withdrawal
management,
stabilization
and
Recovery.
Comprehensive
services,
including
counseling
case
management,
peer
support,
group
support
and
residential
or
inpatient
or
outpatient.
U
Buprenorphine
with
the
brand
name
of
Suboxone
is
a
medication.
That's
been
approved
to
treat
opioid
dependence
through
mat
naloxone,
also
brand
name.
Narcan
is
a
medication
that
rapidly
reverses
opioid
overdoses.
It
is
not
treatment
for
oud,
Naltrexone
or
Vivitrol
is
a
medication
approved
to
treat
both
alcohol
use,
disorder
and
oud
generally
Naltrexone
helps
curve
cravings
and
also
addresses
the
euphoria
treatment.
U
Induction
sites
are
defined
as
places
where
those
suffering
from
oud
can
enter
into
treatment
while
being
supported
and
accompanying
through
the
initial
process
of
withdrawal,
safe
injection
sites
or
supervised
injection
sites
or
overdose
prevention
sites.
All
terms
used
interchangeably
for
the
purpose
of
this
presentation
are
places
where
people
who
use
injectable
opioids
can
do
so
without
fear
of
Overdose
prosecution
or
exposure
to
infectious
diseases.
U
AK
Thank
you,
deputy
director
and
Mr
chair
members
of
the
committee,
a
council
member
Payne,
Mr
chair.
You
pointed
out
an
interesting
development,
which
is
you
know
not
just
the
state
of
Minnesota,
but
also
the
federal
government
seems
to
be.
You
know,
signaling
intent
to
explore
the
efficacy
of
of
of
some
of.
AK
What's
in
this
presentation,
what's
being
proposed
and
I
think
science
backs
it
up,
it's
incumbent
upon
me
and
my
office
to
remind
the
committee
that
you
know
I'll
just
read
the
first
sentence
from
the
third
circuit
opinion
that
says
the
though
the
opioid
crisis
may
call
for
innovative
solutions.
AK
Local
Innovations
may
not
break
federal
law,
I
think
a
safe
injection
site
right
now,
I
think
the
doj
in
very
recent
history
did
take
legal
action
against
the
organization's
safe
house
for
proposing
to
operate
a
safe
injection
site,
so
that
is
the
state
of
the
law.
That's
a
that's
a
barrier
to
some
of
some
of
this
initiative,
but
I
understand
like
we're
we're
in
a
situation
where
things
are
in
flux.
U
At
this
time,
I'm
going
to
bring
up
Dr
Desiree
natava
he's
an
academic
Emergency
Physician,
with
over
20
years
of
experience,
working
in
large
Urban
teaching
hospitals
and
responding
to
several
Public
Health
emergencies,
he's
currently
completing
a
bush
fellowship
with
the
focus
on
improving
outcomes
and
reducing
local
disparities
in
opioid
use
disorder.
U
AL
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you.
Members
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
this
process.
The
I'll
be
talking
about
some
of
the
evidence,
along
with
the
biological
basis
of
disease
for
opiate
use
disorder
and
then
talk
through
some
of
the
recommendations
for
Best
Practices
that
we've
been
reviewing,
but
just
in
graphic
form.
We
see
that
the
rate
of
Overdose
deaths
are
increasing
year
after
year.
AL
In
order
to
best
understand
this
problem,
I
think
we
need
to
start
with
the
biological
basis
of
disease,
the
patient
perspectives,
in
order
to
understand
the
behavior
and
some
of
the
trend
lines
that
we're
seeing
so
this
simplified
graphic
of
brain
activity
helps
me
best
explain
this
if
we
think
about
normal
brain
activity
with
that
gray
stripe
the
middle
gray
stripe
most
of
us
live
our
lives
with
that,
within
that
normal
brain
activity,
the
darker
gray
style
up
top
is
the
brain
exposed
to
synthetic
opioids
or
other
illicit
stimulants,
and
the
blue
stripe
on
the
bottom
reflects
some
of
the
changes
in
the
brain
when
folks
are
exposed
to
opioids
over
time.
AL
Things
like
tolerance,
dependence
or
neurochemical
and
anatomical
changes
alterations
in
the
brain
that
we
need
to
contend
with,
and
we
need
to
understand
as
we
address
this
problem.
So,
let's
say
on
a
normal
day,
our
levels
of
dopamine
and
endorphin.
These
are
hormones
in
the
brain,
are
right
about
midpoint
or
maybe
50
percent,
in
that
Norm,
normal
or
in
that
middle
gray,
stripe
with
without
any
exposure
to
synthetic
opioids
activity
of
dopamine
and
endorphins
can
dial
up.
AL
If
you
can
think
of
a
dimmer
switch,
you
know
if
a
regular
day
is
about
50
percent,
someone
who
is
having
the
best
day
of
their
lives,
maybe
childbirth
or
their
favorite
meal,
that
dials
up
to
close
to
a
hundred
percent
in
that
middle
gray,
stripe
in
terms
of
chemicals
like
endorphin
and
dopamine
on
a
bad
day,
we
might
be
around
40
30
percent
if
the
brain
is
exposed
to
these
synthetic
opioids.
AL
That
dial
goes
up
tenfold,
so
maybe
a
thousand
percent
or
more
depending
on
the
potency
of
the
opioids,
the
effect
on
the
brain.
If
someone
comes
into
the
emergency
room
and
they
have
a
bone
sticking
out
of
their
leg,
opioids
are
a
great
intervention
to
reduce
that
pain,
almost
an
instant
relief
of
pain.
AL
So
if
someone
is
living
a
life
of
chronic
stress,
maybe
poverty
discrimination
or
childhood
Adverse
Events
and
their
brain
is
all
of
a
sudden
exposed
to
this
pill
that
provides
Euphoria
calm,
that's
an
unnatural
State,
and
but
it
helps
me
understand
why
patients
might
reach
for
that.
In
the
first
place.
The
problem
is
over
time
within
a
matter
of
days
or
even
a
week.
AL
That
effect
starts
to
wear
off
and
the
Brain
starts
to
adjust
in
the
sense
that
the
changes
lead
to
less
and
less
of
a
euphoric
high
and
more
and
more
of
a
tolerance
and
a
dependence.
So
the
natural
progression
of
disease
very
quickly.
We
start
to
see
patients
who
are
dependent
on
that
synthetic
opioid
in
their
brain.
AL
In
order
to
not
feel
these
horrible
withdrawal
States
the
within
a
matter
of
months,
people
are
no
longer
trying
to
get
high
they're
just
trying
to
escape
that
horrible
withdrawal,
State
Cravings
that
are
compared
to
someone
who's
Gone
without
water
for
a
few
days
that
level
of
craving.
AL
So
this
is
the
patient
perspective
and
experience
that
we're
seeing
in
the
emergency
room
and
that
we
need
to
understand
I.
Think
to
have
effective
interventions,
so
the
fentanyl
in
our
supply,
the
fennel
Supply
in
our
communities,
illicit
fentanyl
looks
like
counterfeit
pills.
It's
packaged,
oftentimes,
Rhema
fentanyl
marketed
towards
children,
it's
disguised
in
something
that
looks
not
as
harmful
as
it
actually
is.
So
you
can
see
when
you
know
those
early
decision.
Makings
around
am
I
going
to
reach
for
a
pill.
AL
They
may
not
even
know
that
there's
fentanyl
in
there
or
it
might
be
disguised
as
something
else,
and
we
can
see
that
with
the
counterfeit
pills
nowadays,
one
pill
can
kill.
This
is
what
happened
to
Prince
back
in
2016.
He
thought
he
was
taking
a
couple.
Vicodin
he's
actually
contaminated
with
fentanyl,
and
two
pills
were
enough
for
a
fatal
overdose.
In
that
sense,
we
just
have
a
lot
higher
supply
of
fentanyl
circulating
nowadays
or
these
counterfeit
contaminated
pills.
AL
The
interdiction
rates
from
law
enforcement,
removing
these
pills
off
the
street
are
going
up
in
back
in
2018,
I,
think,
there's
300,
000
pills
Nationwide
that
were
seized
by
law
enforcement
a
few
short
years
later.
That
number
has
gone
up
to
10
million
seized
by
law
enforcement.
So
the
supply
of
this
most
profitable
commodity
ever
invented
continues
to
go
up
through
the
roof,
and
this
data
for
me
suggests
that
we're
not
going
to
interdict
our
way
out
of
this.
AL
We
need
a
more
comprehensive,
biologically
based
response
when
it
comes
to
the
disparities
in
death
data
that
were
introduced
earlier.
This
is
another
way
of
looking
at
it
in
graphic
form,
so
Minneapolis
residents
broken
bound
down
by
different
ethnicities.
The
Orange
Line
skyrocketing
upwards
is
our
Native
American
population.
AL
That
number
is
now
two
and
a
half
times
higher
these
death
disparities
are
also
reflected
in
the
increasing
Supply,
and
our
interventions
around
naloxone
and
Narcan
and
harm
reduction
are
very
important
tools
but
they're
not
sufficient
I
view
naloxone
as
a
as
a
Band-Aid,
a
short-term
damage
control,
but
the
issue
is:
it
doesn't
break
that
cycle
of
disease
with
the
brain
activity
and
the
changes
like
tolerance
and
dependence
that
these
patients
are
struggling
with
every
day.
AL
AL
One
of
the
challenges
that
we're
seeing
with
naloxone
is
when
people
receive
naloxone
rescue,
let's
say:
they've
overdosed
they've
stopped
breathing.
They
receive
naloxone
either
in
the
emergency
department
or
the
paramedics
or
Community
member,
because
the
naloxone
kicks
them
into
the
full
depths
of
withdrawal.
That
patient
is
now
unless
they
are
offered
treatment.
Medications
like
buprenorphine
that
patient
is
now
at
very
high
risk
of
subsequent
death.
AL
In
fact,
this
data
here
shows
the
blue
bars
are
number
of
fatalities
on
the
vertical
axis
of
number
of
fatalities
on
the
horizontal
axis
that's
days
since
naloxone
rescue
here
is
an
emergency
department
setting
so
they're
able
to
track.
How
do
these
folks
do
after
they
get
the
naloxone,
and
you
can
see
it's
the
first
72
hours
after
that
rescue.
That's
the
highest
risk
of
overdose
death,
highest
lifetime
risk
of
overdose
death
for
that
patient,
and
this
is
if
they
don't
receive
treatment
on
the
heels
of
that
naloxone
rescue.
AL
This
graph
for
me
represents
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
gaps
in
our
opioid
response
in
that
90
or
more
of
people
who
struggle
with
this
condition
aren't
accessing
treatment.
Those
numbers
are
even
lower
for
opiate
use
disorder
and
even
lower
for
some
of
our
highest
risk
populations
like
indigenous
and
and
black
men
hypothes.
This
is
Countrywide
data,
also
true
in
the
U.S,
probably
higher,
with
counties
with
a
higher
income,
inequality
and
whatnot.
So
this
is
definitely
reflects
kind
of
I
think
the
biggest
challenge
that
we
have
locally.
AL
This
graph
reflects
the
you
know
the
left
hand
side,
the
various
harms
of
opioid
use.
We've
talked
about
overdose.
We
talk
about
infections,
a
lot
social
isolation
things.
This
includes
things
like
family
separation.
If
parents
get
involved
in
CPS
custody
issues
or
just
the
general
Detachment
from
society,
if
they
lose
their
gainful
employment
or
maybe
drop
out
of
school
oftentimes,
these
folks
become
unsheltered
very
isolating
disease,
with
broad
implications
like
that,
the
acquisitive
crime
that's
associated
with
financing
an
expensive
habit
like
this.
This
can
be
fifty
hundred
dollar
more
a
day,
habit.
AL
I
think
also
seen
on
a
societal
level
increasing,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
connection
is
necessarily
always
made
between
untreated
disease
and
the
variety
of
harms
like
this,
not
to
mention
incarceration
on
the
right
hand,
column
are
the
options
that
we
have
on
both
the
policy
and
the
clinical
level
to
intervene
and
respond
to
this
escalating
crisis.
The
prevention
efforts,
the
harm
reduction
efforts,
I,
think,
are
important
in
improving
over
time,
but
treatment
highlighted
in
yellow
from
my
perspective,
doesn't
get
nearly
enough
attention
or
or
visibility.
AL
When
you
look
at
the
different
options
available
to
reducing
overdose
death,
This
was
done
in
an
article
published
in
Jama
back
in
February
of
2020
right
before
the
pandemic
took
over
all
publicity.
The
by
far,
the
most
effective
way
to
reduce
overdose
deaths
is
through
medications
like
buprenorphine
methadone
is
another
older
option,
also
very
important
drug,
but
this
is
comparison
to
either
having
no
treatment
or
some
of
the
conventional
treatment
programs.
We
have
Counseling
Group
support
residential
inpatient,
outpatient.
AL
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
really,
quick
on
the
using
Narcan
for
overdose,
and
then
people
waking
up
and
withdrawal
immediately.
Is
it
common
practice
and
common
protocol
to
start
with
the
medication
assisted
therapy
if
you're
in
the
right
settings
or
is
there
a
disconnect
between
that.
AL
Yeah,
a
chair
member,
thank
you
for
pointing
that
out.
There
is
a
very
big
disconnect
with
that,
but
that's
changing
I
know
the
hospital
I
work
in
and
I
know.
There's
another
major
paramedic
ambulance
agency
in
the
metro
area.
That's
now
moving
in
that
direction
to
provide
naloxone
plus
buprenorphine
I
would
say
another
disconnect
is
in
the
education
and
the
distribution
of
the
Narcan
I.
Don't
know,
there's
enough
visibility
paid
towards
the
high
risk
after
Administration.
AL
A
F
Thank
you,
ma'am,
chair
and
I
I
would
not
want
to
shortchange
the
doctor,
so
I'm
I'm
open.
If
we
have
to
continue
this
I'm
this.
This
is
very
educational
for
me
and
I.
Thank
you
for
coming.
I
do
have
a
question,
though.
What
is
your
treatment
is
obviously
the
most
effective
way
yeah,
but
people
do
not
volunteer
for
treatment
all
the
time.
So
what
is
your
opinion
of
mandatory
treatment
versus
volunteer
treatment.
AL
The
in
fact
when
people
are
coerced
you
know,
maybe
a
family
member
is
bring
them
in
saying
you
know
giving
them
the
ultimatum
if
they're,
especially
if
it's
treatment
without
medication,
not
all
treatment
philosophies
include
medication,
but
they
might
actually
do
worse
once
they
leave
if
they
relapse
and
they
weren't
necessarily
either
supported
or
educated
or
offered
the
options
of
treatment.
AL
So
I
think
that
used
to
happen
more
often
I
think
it's
happening
less,
but
I
don't
see.
I,
think
that's,
there's
potential
to
be
more
harm
than
good
is
what
I
believe.
F
Okay,
let
me
ask
this
a
different
way:
what,
if,
what?
If
someone
was
committing
a
lot
of
crimes
because
they're
addicted,
should
treatment
then
be
part
of
a
sentence?
Would
that
help
them,
as
opposed
to
you,
know
slap
on
the
wrist
and
let
them
back
out
on
the
streets
again,
and
they
continue
their
addictions.
AL
Yeah,
if
it's
crime
to
acquire
the
substance
because
they
have
this
biological
change
in
their
brain.
AA
AL
F
AL
Could
be
any
number
of
things,
oftentimes,
exploitation
trafficking
is
a
major
component
of
you
know
the
harms
and
I
would
say
crime.
So
it's
a
yeah,
it's
a
broad-reaching
type
of
sometimes
an
opportunistic
crime.
Sometimes
it's
distribution.
There
are
numbers.
I
I
had
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
a
undercover
narcotics
officer
in
Saint
Paul,
who
spent
a
year
basically
trading.
AL
What
do
you
call
those
catalytic
converters
for
drugs
or
money
or
actually,
no
sorry,
drugs
and
guns
is
what
he
was
trading
it
for,
but
he
from
his
perspective,
a
lot
of
that
type
of
opportunistic
crime
was
happening
in
the
setting
of
drugs
and
untreated
addiction.
AL
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
will
know.
Since
you
did
say,
we
have
to
be
done
by
3.
45
I
just
want
to
put
a
motion
on
the
table
to
postpones
her
rph
at
next
PHS,
meaning
I
have
subsequent
questions
that
I
would
actually
like
to
send
ahead
or
before,
because
I
would
love
to
know
in
Minneapolis
the
breakdown
of
treatment,
centers
and
also
the
breakdown
of
that
of
inpatient
to
outpatient.
E
So
we
can
get
a
sense
of
really
what
options
are
available
because,
from
my
understanding,
there's
also
been
closures
that
has
happened
in
the
city,
so
it'd
be
good
to
know.
You
know
those
type
of
things,
so
I
at
least
went
to
put
that
motion
on
the
table,
because
this
does
feel
like
a
much
longer
conversation,
and
we
want
to
dig
deep
into
this
because
you
expressed
this
is
this
is
pretty
major
so
and.
A
Council
member
wansley
I
definitely
agree
with
moving
forward
to
the
next
meeting,
but
Dr
D
is
not
going
to
be
here,
I'm
told
by
our
Deputy
Commissioner
for
the
next
in
two
weeks,
chair.
A
Like
that,
thank
you
all
right,
so
councilmember
wansley's
motion
is
on
the
floor
to
postpone
until
the
next
cycle,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
that
carries
and
we'll
see
you
next
cycle.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
patient
with
us
and
seeing
no
further
business
before
us.
I
will
call
this
meeting
adjourned.
