Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
and
so
council
members
yesterday
we
received
a
briefing
on
the
litigation
matter
of
the
state
of
Minnesota
by
Rebecca
Lucero,
commissioner
of
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
I
will
now
call
on
the
City
attorney
Kristen
Anderson,
to
provide
a
summary
of
the
proposed
settlement
agreement
good
morning.
Thank.
C
Today,
I
want
to
present
to
you
the
court
enforceable
settlement
agreement
that
has
been
negotiated
between
the
Department
of
Human
Rights
and
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
present
it
to
you
for
a
vote
today
for
approval
of
the
agreement.
I
want
to
start
my
presentation
with
a
little
bit
of
background
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today
and
then
I
want
to
actually
walk
you
through
the
sections
of
the
agreement,
to
give
you
a
very,
very
high
level
overview
of
of
what's
in
the
agreement.
C
So
as
as
you
all
know-
and
we
had
this
presentation
before
the
subcommittee
patterns
and
practices
subcommittee
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
but
I'll
just
go
back
to
some
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about.
So
in
the
summer
of
2020,
the
human
rights
Department
filed
a
charge
and
launched
an
investigation
into
Minneapolis
policing
practices.
Some
of
those
practices
dating
back
to
2010
were
under
review.
C
The
mdhr
investigation
continued
for
a
period
of
time
with
full
cooperation
from
the
city,
the
city,
producing
Witnesses
and
documents
to
the
human
rights
department
and
then
in
April
April
27
2022.
The
human
rights
Department
issued
its
probable
cause
findings
report
finding
that
the
city
and
MPD
engaged
in
a
pattern
and
practice
of
racially
discriminatory
policing.
C
So
beginning
that
summer
we
entered
the
city
and
mdhr
entered
into
a
joint
statement
of
principles
that
was
signed
by
the
commissioner
Lucero
mayor
fry
and
council
president
Jenkins
setting
forth
principles
that
would
govern
the
negotiations
of
the
Court
enforceable
settlement
agreement
that
that
is
what
I'm
presenting
to
you
here
today
and
we
made
took
great
pains
to
distinguish
in
that
document
between
the
court
enforceable
settlement
agreement.
C
That
would
be
this
agreement
in
State
Court
versus
a
federal
consent
decree,
which
is
the
the
legal
document
that
is
potential
to
come
with
the
Department
of
Justice
and
ensure
that
there
is
not
conflict
between
the
state
settlement
agreement
and
a
potential
future
Federal
consent
decree.
C
After
that
point
in
time,
the
city
and
mdhr
negotiated
the
settlement
agreement
that
is
before
you
today
since
August
of
2022
over
30
times
of
almost
all
full
day,
in-person
sessions,
the
parties
negotiated
in
good
faith.
Our
negotiations
have
concluded
with
a
settlement
agreement
that
is
on
the
agenda
for
approval.
C
C
These
are
the
terms
that
mdhr
negotiated
with
the
city
in
order
for
the
city
to
avoid
being
sued
and
litigating
taxpayer
litigation
against
mdhr,
so
taxpayer-funded
litigation,
while
the
community
obviously
could
not
be
at
the
negotiating
table
and
the
negotiations
were
confidential,
as
all
legal
negotiations
are
and
we're
not
in
a
position
to
go
back
to
mdhr
and
renegotiate
the
terms
based
on
public
feedback.
I
think
it's
important
for
everyone
to
know
that
Community
input
was
absolutely
taken
into
account
in
the
agreement
itself.
C
The
human
rights
Department
conducted
multiple
engagement
sessions
with
both
community
and
officers
and
Community
will
see
terms
in
the
agreement
that
reflect
their
feedback.
The
terms
are
cognizant
of
the
needs
of
the
community
and
the
needs
of
the
officers
and
I
think
it's
important
to
mention
that
MPD
leadership
was
also
present
during
most
of
the
negotiation
sessions.
C
The
agreement
was
thoroughly
negotiated,
intentional
thoughtful
and
responsive
on
par
on
the
parts
of
both
the
city
and
the
human
rights
Department.
Additionally,
community
and
officer
engagement
are
really
baked
into
the
agreement's
requirements
going
forward,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
MPD
policy,
which
I
will
touch
on
more
later.
C
C
The
settlement
agreement
is
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
is
the
first
in
the
country
to
have
a
a
settlement
agreement
at
the
state
level.
We
may
be
the
first
city
who
will
have
a
agreement
both
at
the
state
level
and
at
the
federal
level
level,
although
that
has
not
not
yet
come
to
two
for
fruition.
C
Under
the
agreement,
we
will
be
required
to
demonstrate
compliance
to
an
outside
entity
called
The
Independent
evaluator
in
the
agreement,
ensuring
accountability,
so
I
just
want
to
very
briefly
step
through
the
provisions.
In
the
the
agreement
itself,
there
are
13
parts
to
the
agreement,
part
one
it's.
The
introduction
has
the
legal
Provisions
that
are
found
in
every
settlement.
Agreement
acknowledges
that
MPD
has
undertaken
important
changes
to
its
policies
and
the
agreement
is
intended
to
build
on
those
changes.
C
The
second
part
of
the
agreement
is
the
process
for
reviewing
up
and
updating
MPD
policy.
This
is
where
Community
engagement
will
be
seen
in
in
a
major
portion
of
this
settlement
agreement
as
it's
being
implemented.
Community
engagement
is
a
critical,
critical
part
to
complying
with
the
settlement
agreement.
When
MPD
has
at
the
beginning,
there
will
be
a
review
of
MPD
policies.
C
Mpd
will
have
a
web
page
that
will
actually
take
in
community
comments
and
MPD
is
going
to
be
required
to
take
into
account
and
consider
all
Community
feedback
and
important
policies
relating
to
non-discriminatory
policing,
use
of
force,
stop
searches
and
arrests
and
also
will
be
required
to
present
those
policies
to
the
community.
C
In
three
different
meetings
in
three
different
locations
of
the
the
city
annually,
the
MPD
will
conduct
a
review
of
the
policies
and
any
future
policy
changes
will
require
a
repeat
of
this
website
and
through
community
community
meetings
in
different
areas
of
the
city.
C
Part
three
is
non-discriminatory,
policing,
pretty
straightforward,
prohibits
discrimination,
prohibits
retaliation
and
protects
all
protected
classes
under
the
law.
This
investigation
from
mdhr
was
a
racial
discrimination
patterns
and
practices
investigation,
but
we
all
thought
it
was
important
to
make
clear
that
all
legally
protected
classes
are
protected
from
discrimination
and
retaliation.
C
C
Part
7
talks
about
training
requires
a
comprehensive
training
plan
to
be
developed
that
will
actually
be
reviewed
and
authorized
by
the
independent
evaluator.
It
requires
enhanced
training.
Both
development,
delivery
and
evaluation
requires
training
for
officers
for
field
training
officers
for
supervisors,
for
investigators
and
for
9-1-1
dispatch
and
even
provides
for
trainees
to
give
feedback
evaluating
their
trainers.
C
C
Excuse
me
part.
10.
works
works
together
with
the
community
Commission
on
police
oversight.
Ordinance
that
this
body
passed
very
recently
to
create
an
updated
framework
for
accountability
and
oversight.
This
section
provides
protocols
and
deadlines
for
investigations
done
by
Internal
Affairs
by
the
office
of
police
conduct,
review
and
also
human
resources.
C
C
Part
12
talks
about
the
independent
evaluation
and
implementation
of
this
agreement.
The
agreement
requires
MPD
to
have
an
implementation
unit,
and
the
kind
of
the
key
to
all
of
this
is
the
independent
evaluator.
The
the
settlement
agreement
provides
the
selection
process
for
the
independent
evaluator,
which
will
involve
a
presentation
by
the
finalists
to
the
community,
at
least
at
two
public
meetings.
C
The
independent
evaluators
term
under
the
settlement
agreement
is
four
years.
Cities
around
the
country
have
not
achieved
full
compliance
in
that
amount
of
time
and
frankly,
it
would
be
highly
atypical
if
we
did,
but
we
need
a
deadline
and
a
goal
to
strive
for.
C
At
the
point
of
four
years,
there
will
be
a
comprehensive
evaluation
by
the
independent
evaluator
who,
of
course,
is
going
to
be
evaluating
us
throughout
and
posting
that
information
on
the
independent
evaluators
website,
but
at
the
four-year
Mark,
we'll
be
doing
a
comprehensive
evaluation
to
determine
whether
we
are
in
full
and
substantial
compliance.
If
we're
not.
C
If
we
can
show
that
we
are
in
full
and
substantial
compliance
with
some
things,
then
Those
portions
of
the
agreement
could
be
terminated,
but
until
we
are
in
full
and
substantial
compliance,
we
will
keep
going
with
this
work,
and
this
work
needs
to
last
beyond
this
agreement
to
achieve
full,
effective
compliance.
Not
only
must
we
just
show
that
we
have
changed
our
policies,
but
we
also
have
to
train
relevant
personnel
and
also
hold
folks
accountable
for
carrying
out
the
requirements.
C
This
section
also
accounts
for
the
possibility
that
we
may
have
a
consent
decree
with
the
Department
of
Justice.
If
that
happens,
then
mdhr
and
the
city
have
agreed
to
modify
this
settlement
agreement
if
necessary.
So
there
are
not
conflicting
Provisions
between
this
agreement
and
a
doj
consent
decree
so
that
the
city
can
comply
with
both.
C
In
addition,
mdhr
and
the
city
have
agreed
that
there
will
be
only
one
person
or
entity
one
monitor
one
independent
evaluator
to
evaluate
compliance
with
both
this
agreement
and
any
doj
consent
decree,
and
the
last
section
is
definitions
of
Simply,
a
glossary
of
terms,
so
I
want
to
shift
to
what
our
next
steps
will
be.
So
the
first,
of
course,
is
to
put
this
agreement
to
vote
by
this
body.
C
C
So
once
all
of
these
documents
are
filed,
the
court
process
takes
over
I
assume
that
there
will
be
a
court
hearing.
I,
don't
know
when
it
will
be.
That
is
all
in
the
hands
of
the
Court.
It
will
all
the
process
and
what
that
looks
like
and
the
timing
will
all
be
up
to
the
court,
but
once
we,
if
this
body
approves
a
settlement
agreement,
then
that's
when
the
court
process
will
will
begin.
A
Thank
you,
madam
City
attorney
and
I
will
move
the
settlement
of
all
claims
asserted
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
by
Rebecca
Lucero,
commissioner
of
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
and
set
forth
in
the
statement
agreement
further
that
the
city
attorney's
office
is
authorized
to
execute
and
file
any
documents
necessary
to
effectuate.
This
settlement
may
I
have
a
second
to
this
motion.
Second,
this
motion
has.
D
A
Seconded
at
the
council
vice
president-
and
we
have
a
few
of
my
colleagues
in
queue
for
comments,
council
member.
E
Osman,
thank
you.
Madam
president,
good
morning
yesterday,
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
closed
sessions
to
understand
what
this
settlement
is
to
communicate
with
my
residents
and
the
people
in
Minneapolis.
E
E
This
shows
us
that
away
and
a
bath
to
move
forward
and
to
correct
mistakes
we
have
made,
and
the
MPD
have
made
I
believe
that
presidents
deserve
to
be
treated
with
respect
with
dignity
and
feel
that
they
are
part
of
every
society
in
that
lives
in
City
of
Minneapolis.
The
way
we
do
policing
has
been
wrong.
E
I
do
believe
the
process
I
do
trust
the
new
leadership
and
the
way
we
head
into
when
it
comes
to
policing,
but
it's
going
to
cost
us.
A
lot
of
money
is
going
to
cost
the
city
a
lot
of
money,
but
what
I
rely
on
the
most
is
this
Independence
evaluation
we
talked
about
and
this
monitors
to
keep
us
continue
working
to
do
the
right
thing.
E
C
E
E
E
E
F
You,
madam
president,
we
councilman
Osmond
you're
correct.
We
did
have
a
very
long
session
yesterday.
We
spent
about
six
hours,
answering
questions,
asking
questions,
getting
answers
and,
in
particular,
I
want
to
thank
attorney
City
attorney
Anderson,
an
attorney
lady
thromboire
in
the
room
today
and
assistant
chief
Amelia
Huffman,
it's
very
clear
that
you
spent
a
lot
of
time.
This
is
a
well
thought
out
agreement
and
I
I.
Thank
you
for
representing
the
city's
interests
and
the
citizens
interests
as
the
settlement
took
shape.
So
thank
you
for
your
hard
work.
F
It's
acknowledged
what
you've
done
is
allowed
us
to
have
our
citizens
protected
and
then
allow
for
when
the
Department
of
Justice
comes
in
with
the
consent
decree
and
we
can
merge
those
two,
but
most
of
all
what
you
have
with
through
your
hard
work
and
what
I
will
vote
on
today
is
that
we're
going
to
move
forward
and
we're
going
to
heal
the
city
and
we're
going
to
have
21st
policing
that
respects
everybody
that
provides
safety
for
all
and
I'm
I'm,
so
proud
of
your
work
and
I'll
be
voting
for
this
today
in
the
affirmative.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Just
wanted
to
Echo
some
of
the
thank
yous
that
some
of
my
colleagues
have
handed
out
are.
There
was
a
very
good
question
for
those
at
home
written
in
the
audience.
D
Did
you
guys
read
this
entire
document
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
in
a
pretty
short
turnaround,
our
attorneys
made
sure
that
every
single
body,
every
single
member
of
this
body,
did
read
the
entire
document,
which
is
usually
there's
not
so
much
hand
holding,
but
our
attorneys
took
it
upon
themselves
to
say:
hey
look.
We
have
to
know
how
we're
moving
forward
and
we
have
to
know
this
body
has
to
understand
what
this
document
contains,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
our
attorneys
for
that.
D
I
want
to
thank
the
team
for
making
sure
that
the
entire
Council
does
have
a
good
sense
of
what
is
in
this
document
and
was
able
to
have
all
of
our
questions
answered
about
this
I
also
want
to
say
that
there
have
been
a
lot
of
folks
reaching
out
to
members
of
the
council.
Saying
hey,
look
this
thing's
moving
really
fast.
We
we
there
needs
to
be
a
public
hearing.
I
agree:
there
needs
to
be
a
public
hearing,
but
I.
D
Don't
think
that
this
body
is
the
one
to
hold
that
public
hearing,
we
would
not
be
able
to
effectuate
any
input
we
got
from
Community.
Here
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
add
anything
and,
and
so
I.
This
is
a.
This
is
litigation.
D
This
is
while
this,
while
I
do
believe
in
this
work
and
I
do
think
that
this
is
going
to
result
in
something
really
good.
This
is
not
the
result
of
this
is
not
something
good
that
we're
doing.
This
is
the
culmination
of
bad
things.
The
city
and
the
police
department
have
done,
and
so
there
will
be
opportunity,
I
believe,
and
maybe
our
attorneys
could
speak
to
this
for
the
public.
D
There's
a
will
be
an
a
possibility
for
the
public
to
give
some
kind
of
input
to
the
courts
as
my
understanding,
and
so,
if
there's,
if
it's
appropriate,
to
sort
of
spell
out
what
those
what
those
opportunities
could
be
I
would
invite
our
attorneys
to
to
spell
that
out,
but
but
I
just
wanted
to.
D
Let
the
folks
in
the
room
know
that
we
agree
that
the
public
should
have
input,
but
since
this
body
would
not
be
able
to
add
or
change
anything
at
this
point,
I
think
it
would
be
misleading
for
us
to
hold
a
public
hearing
and
then
say
thanks.
C
Council
president
council
member
Ellison,
council
members,
we
don't
actually
know
what
the
core
process
is
going
to
look
like
that
really
is
in
the
hands
of
who,
whichever
judge
is
assigned,
we
don't
actually
know
which
judge
will
be
assigned
to
the
matter,
but
that
the
court
will
have
to
determine
what
what
the
process
looks
like
I
am
I,
can't
imagine
that
we
won't
have
a
hearing
on
this.
Obviously,
all
Court
hearings
are
public,
but
what
what
kind
of
you
know
input?
D
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
I
have
a
hopefully
a
series
of
questions
for
our
City
attorney.
So
if
it's
okay
with
you
to
have
her
come
up.
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
just
wanted
to
follow
up
really
quick
on
council
member
Ellison's
question
I,
understand
that
we
have,
and
neither
party
has
any
any
say
or
any
control
over
the
process
that
the
court
sets
up.
Is
there
a
way
for
for
us,
as
as
one
of
the
parties
in
in
this
in
this
settlement
agreement?
In
order
for
us
to
request
a
a
public
hearing
be
held
by
the
by
the
judge,
that's
assigned.
C
To
this
case,
council
president
council
member
I
think
the
parties
would
have
to
make
some
sort
of
joint
joint
motion
again.
I
think
that
we
need
to
get
the
judicial
assignment,
and
you
know
what
normally
happens
in
these
matters
is
that
there's
a
scheduling
conference
with
with
the
court,
so
I
would
want
to
feel
out
exactly
what
sort
of
which
which
judges
is
assigned
and
and
what
kind
of
court
process
you
know
the
judge
is
thinking
of,
and
then
think
about.
You
know
is
that
an
appropriate
joint
motion
to
make
yeah.
G
I
I
appreciate
that
we
would
want
to
move
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
I
I,
see
that
the
the
commissioner
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human,
Rights,
Michelle
Lucero,
is
is
here,
and
a
lot
of
the
the
decision-making
body
is
here
too,
and
so
just
for
for
people
who
are
in
the
audience
for
people
who
are
watching
along
I
would
hope
that
we
we
would
want
to
ask
the
court
to
to
hold
some
sort
of
public
hearing
to
allow
for
public
testimony.
G
But
perhaps
when
it's
in
front
of
a
judge,
there
is
some
some
room
for
the
court
to
to
as
they're
finalizing.
This
order
am
I
understanding
this
legal
process
correctly,
there's
room
for
them
to
make
minor
changes.
C
So,
council,
president
Jenkins
I
I,
don't
think
that
the
court
can
make
changes
to
the
agreement.
I
mean
this
is
a
negotiated
agreement
between
the
parties,
so
I
would
would
not
anticipate
that
the
court
would
be
making
changes
got.
G
It
understood
thank
you
and
then
just
one
more
question
going
back
to
your
presentation
earlier
and
I.
G
You
know:
I
really
agree
that
the
the
changes
we
see
in
this
in
this
settlement
agreement,
where
we
are
requiring
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
with
every
policy
change
they
make
to
do
an
extensive
Community
engagement
process,
everything
from
allowing
45
days
of
of
comment
period
for
any
Resident
to
to
share
feedback
and
then
to
hold
Community
meetings
accessible
in
multiple
languages
if
I'm,
remembering
correctly
at
accessible
times
of
day
for
residents.
G
Those
are
those
are
really
significant
changes
and
it's
a
way
of
doing
community
engagement
that
we
at
the
city
don't
have
a
lot
of
skills
around
and
I
think
we
often
receive
criticism
from
from
residents
in
the
city
on
all
from
all
perspectives
telling
us
you
know,
you're,
not
really
good
at
listening
to
people
you're,
not
really
good
at
doing
community
engagement
and
whether
we
think
it's
fair
or
not.
That
is
a
fair
way
for
residents
to
feel
so.
G
I
know
that
that
we
as
a
city
didn't
conduct
Community
engagement
in
a
formalized
setting
before
we
were.
We
started
negotiating
the
terms
of
this
agreement,
but
I
do
understand
that
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
did
I
went
to
one
of
the
sessions
that
was
held
in
in
my
ward
and
found
it
to
be
very
thorough,
and
very
it
very
like
a
good
experience
for
the
community
members
that
that
showed
up
too.
G
C
Council
excuse
me,
council,
president
and
council
member
Shantae
MBR
mdhr
continues
to
have
a
role
with
the
city
in
partnership
with
the
city
really
throughout
the
term
of
the
settlement
agreement,
for
example,
policy
changes
and-
and
you
know
to
be
clear-
the
policy
changes
that
we're
talking
about
are
on
use
of
force,
non-discriminatory
policing,
stops,
searches
and
arrests,
and
then
on
the
Mission,
Vision
Values
and
goals
of
the
the
MPD.
So
those
policies
will
be
you
know.
C
Whenever
we
make
policy
changes,
mdhr
will
get
to
weigh
in
on
those
policy
changes
and,
very,
very
importantly,
the
independent
evaluator
is,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
one
who
will
say
yes
or
no
on
on
whether
the
policy
changes
comply.
So
it
did
that's
true
with
a
training
plan
that
we
come
up
with.
You
know.
Training
is
a
huge
piece
of
this
again.
It's
it's
about.
C
So
mdhr
will
be,
you
know
we
will
be
in
Partnership
and-
and
you
know
we-
we
really
have
established
a
relationship
of
mutual
respect
throughout
this
process
and
I
I,
assume
and
and
believe
that
that
relationship
will
continue.
We
will
be
working.
C
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
So
for
decades,
residents
have
told
the
City
of
Minneapolis
that
MPD
was
abusive
and
racist
police
force.
Last
year,
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
affirmed
this
that,
for
at
least
10
years,
MPD
had
committed
brutal
and
systemic
acts
of
racism,
misogyny
and
violence.
H
The
legal
settlement
that
is
before
us
this
morning
is
also,
as
our
City
attorney
highlighted,
unprecedented
opportunity
to
complete
a
overhaul
of
MPD,
which,
again
for
over
10
years,
MPD
and
city
leaders
have
consistently
deferred
responsibility
for
the
inhumane
actions
of
MPD.
H
The
lack
of
political
will
to
take
responsibility
for
MPD
is
why
we
are
in
this
position
today.
This
legal
settlement
formally
and
legally
prevents
City
leadership
from
deferring
that
responsibility
anymore
and
I
hope
this
settlement
is
a
wake-up
call
for
city
leaders
who
the
public
has
watched
rubber
stamp.
H
While
we
complete
this
legal
settlement,
council
do
have
a
couple
of
things
that
they
can
do,
such
as
continuing
to
create
and
Champion
comprehensive,
unarmed
Safety
Services
like
the
behavioral
crisis
response
team,
traffic
enforcement
and
violence
interrupters.
This
settlement
is
also
our
City
attorney
highlighted
also
affirmed
that
these
efforts
have
positively
impacted
our
current
public
safety
system.
So
Council
has
the
opportunity
to
continue
supporting
these
programs
and
ensure
that
we're
reducing
the
outsized
role
that
MPD
has
played
in
our
public
safety
system.
H
The
terms
because
I
know
this
has
been
the
biggest
piece
of
contention
that
the
public
has
not
been
able
to
see
this
settlement
in
its
full
entirety
and
I'm,
hoping
as
City
attorney
mentioned,
that
it
will
be
made
readily
available
to
the
public.
Once
we
take
the
vote
on
this
and
the
mayor
versus
John
Hancock
on
it
I
know,
community
members
will
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
it,
and
one
thing
that
I
want
to
name
clearly
is
that
the
terms
of
this
agreement
does
not
mean
a
blank
check
to
MPD
working
class.
H
Taxpayers
have
footed
the
bill
for
1.5
billion
dollars
of
mpd's
budget
over
the
last
10
years,
and
that's
just
the
budget.
We
have
to
also
consider
the
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
misconduct,
settlements
in
addition
to
more
than
25
million
dollars
in
pts.
These
settlement
claims
by
officers
and
what
have
these
dollars
got
in
Residence
a
department,
that's
systematically
violates
human
rights
and
MPD
has
thus
demonstrated
clearly
that
money
alone
cannot
fix
something
that
is
broken.
H
They
have
proven
that
more
dollars
do
not
correlate
to
more
Public
Safety
by
allowing
MPD
to
operate
recklessly
for
over
a
decade.
We
have
effectively
enabled
MPD
to
essentially
defund
the
city,
and
we
as
a
city
needs
to
be
transparent
about
the
costs,
who
will
bear
it
and
clearly
outline
what
residents
should
receive
as
a
benefit.
H
Taxpayers
have
made
it
very
clear
that
they
are
fed
up
with
footing
the
bill
for
mpd's
misconduct.
There
will
be
costs
associated
with
completing
the
terms
of
this
settlement
agreement,
but
I
want
to
ensure
that
we
are
managing
those
costs
in
a
way
that
minimizes
the
amount
that
working-class
people
have
to
pay
to
correct
the
city's
failures.
H
So
when
we
talk
about
resources
and
what
MPD
will
be
coming
to
us
asking
in
order
to
get
into
compliance
with
this
settlement
agreement,
we
need
to
make
sure
this
body
is
doing
this
in
a
fiscal,
fiscally
responsible
way
in
consideration
of
our
residents.
So
for
these
Reasons
I'm,
letting
the
public
know,
I
will
be
bringing
a
legislative
directive
to
the
April
11th
cow
meeting,
so
that
council,
members
and
the
public
can
have
the
crucial
information
they
need
to
make
informed
decisions
about
the
next
steps
and
actions
around
the
settlement
agreement.
H
Every
single
person
in
leadership
in
this
city
should
take
this
work
extremely
seriously.
The
agreement
that
we
are
voting
for
today,
as
City
attorney
highlighter,
will
impact
the
lives
of
our
residents
for
years
to
come.
So
I'm
going
to
conclude
my
comments
with
saying
that
I
I
don't
take
this
lightly
and
I
am
committed,
as
I've
demonstrated
throughout
my
first
term
took
working
tirelessly
with
our
residents
with
Public
Safety
experts,
Grassroots
groups
and
City
staff,
towards
ensuring
that
we
do
complete
every
single
provision
in
this
settlement.
A
Thank
you.
Councilmember
next
in
Q,
is
councilman
robita.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
First
highlight
several
people
who
have
done
a
great
job
of
getting
us
here
where
we
are
today.
First
I
want
to
thank
assistant
chief
Huffman
who's
done
a
lot
of
work
behind
the
scenes.
Who's
taught
my
office
a
great
deal
about
these
type
of
agreements.
Who've
put
a
lot
she's
put
a
lot
of
these
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
in
place
already
a
lot
of
things
behind
the
scenes.
I
Folks,
don't
know
about
assistant
chief
Huffman
had
began
last
year,
and
so
I
really
want
to
thank
her
for
her
Brilliance
in
this
process
and
the
work
that
she's
doing
to
get
the
Department
on
the
right
track.
Also,
I
want
to
thank
the
unity,
Community
mediation
team
who
has
worked
alongside
Chief
Huffman
and
who
highlighted
a
lot
of
the
the
changes
that
we
need
to
make
years
ago
decades
ago
and
have
been
working
behind
the
scenes
to
make
sure
that
we
get
there
and
then
just
our
city
staff.
This
has
been
a
long
process.
I
You
all
have
done
great
work
to
get
us
to
where
we
are
today.
That's
even
outside
agencies,
who've
provided
input
on
this
process
and
where
we
need
to
be
today.
So,
thank
you
all
so
much.
You
know.
There's
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us.
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this
today.
I
think
the
the
citizens
of
Minneapolis
deserve
better
A.
Lot
of
the
work
have
been
has
been
done
and
our
department
is
on
board
for
getting
this
work
done.
I
trust
that
the
people
who
are
here
today
want
this.
I
We
all
want
better
policing
in
our
city.
We
all
want
better
outcomes
for
the
residents
of
Minneapolis
and
the
people
who
visit
Minneapolis,
I
I
haven't
witnessed
any
resistance
to
this
so
I'm
proud
to
say
that
that
we're
all
on
board.
We
want
better.
We
want
this
four
years
from
now
we're
in
this
particular
agreement
for
four
years.
Four
years
from
now,
we
want
to
be
able
to
say
we
did
better.
I
We
were
in
a
challenging
time
we
weren't
doing
great,
and
now
we
are
so
I'm
grateful
to
the
leadership
in
the
city
at
the
mdhr,
who
acknowledged
that
we
have
to
do
better
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
everyone
who
wants
to
work
on
this,
including
community
members
who
don't
feel
like
they're
being
heard
in
this
process.
There
are
so
many
opportunities
for
people
to
be
heard
in
this
process
moving
forward.
That
is
a
part
of
the
work
we
have
to
do.
I
We
have
to
make
sure
that
the
community
is
on
board
with
the
changes
that
are
happening
and
with
anything,
we're
doing
moving
forward.
It's
on
it's
in
the
spotlight.
This
is
a
public
process.
Now,
after
we
vote
on
this,
every
single
step
we
make
is,
after
we
vote
on
this,
every
single
step
we
make
it's
going
to
be
on
it's
out
there
for
everyone
to
see.
So
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
we're
we're
here
today.
This
is
this
is
an
unprecedented
time
for
our
city
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Let
the
record
reflect
that.
We
have
been
joined
by
council
member
Johnson
for
this
meeting
and
next
in
queue
is
council,
member
Payne.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Miss
Anderson
would
you
be
able
to
speak
to
the
next
steps
if
this
body
word
did
not
accept
this
agreement,.
C
Council
president
council
member
Payne,
if
this
body
were
to
not
approve
the
agreement,
I
don't
know
but
I.
Imagine
that
mdhr
will
move
forward
with
filing
that
lawsuit
in
any
event,
and
we
will
either
be
in
litigation
in
in
mdhr's,
lawsuit
and
or
back
to
the
bargaining
table.
J
And
so
there'd
be
a
good
chance
that
this
would
have
to
go
in
front
of
a
jury
trial,
and
would
you
suspect
we
would
get
Stronger
set
of
Provisions
weaker,
set
of
Provisions
or
can't
say.
C
Council,
member
council
president
council,
member
Payne,
I,
I
I,
don't
know,
and
that's
that's
the
the
beauty
of
a
settlement
agreement
is
the
known
we
and
having
a
say
frankly
in
in
our
in
our
future.
C
When
the
court
process
occurs,
we
we
don't
know,
you
know
that
the
court
could
determine
that.
Some
of
the
claims
don't
have
Merit
and
we'd
wind
up
with
something
less
it's
possible
that
the
court
would
would
decide
something
more
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
an
unknown
and
and
again
I
mean
the
reason
why
entities
settle
legal
claims
is
is
to
to
get
the
known
and
start
the
work.
I
mean.
Frankly,
my
biggest
concern
is
the
work
needs.
The
work
has
already
started.
We
need
to
start
in
Earnest.
C
We
can't
get
that
independent
evaluator
up
and
running
I
mean
there's
no
point
to
it.
Unless
we
have
a
settlement
agreement,
you
know,
and
obviously
we've
got
a
process
with
doj
that
may
be
coming,
but
we
don't
know
when
so
so.
I,
don't
know.
If
that
answers
your
question.
No.
J
It
does
and
I
actually
share
your
concern,
because
this
is
actually
the
easiest
part
of
this
process
and
as
somebody
who
has
read
all
100
plus
pages
of
it,
I'm
having
a
hard
time,
imagining
stronger
Provisions
than
what
have
been
negotiated
to
this
point,
and
even
if
we
could
theoretically
turn
this
agreement
down.
Sue
it
out
in
court
have
a
judge
that
felt
more
aligned
with
stronger
Provisions
in
a
jury
that
agreed
with
that.
J
We
still
would
need
to
get
to
work,
and
that
would
add
additional
time
to
doing
that
work
and
so
I'm.
Thank
you
for
providing
that
clarification
and,
like
I
said
this
document
is
a
starting
point,
but
for
us
to
really
deliver
on
this.
It's
going
to
take
not
just
the
commitment
of
this
body,
but
it's
going
to
take
the
commitment
of
the
administration
and,
frankly,
the
entire
city,
to
support
a
better
future
around
policing.
J
D
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Sorry
I'll
keep
my
next
remark
short
just
because
I
said
a
couple
of
thank
yous
had
a
bit
of
a
question,
but
I
did
want
to
thank
the
mdhr
Team
who's
here
today
for
initiating
this
and
I.
D
Also
just
wanted
to
you
know
as
I'm
sitting
here,
and
you
know
this
documents
making
me
reflect
on
kind
of
how
how
we
got
here,
obviously
there's
a
there's
a
whole
decades
worth
of
information
of
how
we
got
here,
but
for
all
of
the
thank
yous
that
we
could
give
that
we
should
give
to
our
staff
and
to
mdhr
for
for
finalizing
this
agreement.
I
want
to
point
out
that
you
know
a
major
person.
D
A
major
reason
that
we're
where
we
are
today
is
is
because
of
the
actions
of
Derek
shelvin
is
because
of
the
murder
of
George,
Floyd
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that
you
know
is
not
a
criticism,
because
I
spoke
earlier
as
well,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
been
mentioned
so
far
here
in
this
chamber
and
I
think
that
it
needs
to
be
mentioned.
When
we
talk
about
this,
the
student,
this
this,
this
litigation
did
not
manifest
out
of
nowhere.
D
D
But
that's
what
that's
what
started
this,
and
so
you
know,
while
I'm
proud
of
the
work
that
that
our
staff
have
done
to
get
us
here,
proud
of
the
work
that
the
mdhr
team
has
done
to
get
us
here
and
while
I
think
this
document
would
do
a
lot
of
good
it's
hard
for
me
to
say
that
I'm
proud
of
this
document,
because
it's
a
reflection
of
just
how
wrong
things
have
been
in
our
city
for
so
long.
D
So
just
wanted
to
around
us
in
that
remind
myself
of
that
and
and
hopefully,
as
we
think
of
this,
it
it'll
we
can
think
of
it
less
of
as
a
as
a
as
a
good
thing,
we're
doing
and
a
necessary
thing
that
we
should
have
really
started
a
long
time
ago.
So
that's
all.
Thank
you.
Madam
president,.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Ellison,
and
thank
you
for
lifting
up
the
the
name,
and
this
is
the
legacy
of
George,
Floyd
and,
and
hopefully
many
more
to
come.
Next
in
Q
is
councilmember
Chavez
council.
K
We
cannot
talk
about
moving
forward
without
acknowledging
our
past
and
asking
for
forgiveness.
Part
of
this
consent
decree
states
that
the
city
and
MPD
did
not
admit
to
mdhr's
findings.
You
want
to
know
who
would
agree.
Disagree
with
that,
the
victims
of
those
who
were
killed
by
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
Fong,
Lee,
Jamar,
Clark,
Justine,
Damon,
George,
Floyd,
Amir,
lock
and
the
conscious
others
that
will
never
be
forgotten
here
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
K
These
are
just
some
of
the
few
things
that
were
in
the
findings
in
June
of
2023,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
returned
to
the
negotiation
Table
after
skipping
out
on
meetings
to
advance
this
consent
decree
today,
I
want
to
let
my
constituents
know
why
I'm
voting
for
this
I'm
voting
for
this,
because
we
are
guilty.
We
are
guilty
of
having
a
police
department
with
a
history
of
racist
and
discriminatory
practices
that
lacks
accountability
and
discipline.
K
There
are
some
few
key
Provisions
that
are
a
victory
to
our
community
in
here,
but
we
need
to
understand,
like
I
said
earlier,
that
we
need
to
go
beyond
that.
The
limitations
of
pre-texal
stops
the
prohibition
of
questioning
or
client
passengers
to
produce
identification,
the
prohibition
of
MPD
from
searching
a
car
or
individual
based
on
the
smell
of
marijuana.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
say
I
I
would
be
remiss
I
I
noticed,
commissioner
Lucero
in
the
room
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
coming
down
today
to
help
us
move
forward.
I
I
know
your
staff
has
worked
very
hard
and
your
presence
here
is
very
meaningful.
So
thank
you
for
helping
us
start
this
journey
towards
healing
our
city.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
councilmember,
Johnson,.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
for
staff,
probably
the
City
attorney
on
this
one.
First,
when
can
the
public
read
the
final
agreement?
If
this
is
approved
today,.
L
Great,
thank
you
and
then
this
would
probably
be
a
question
for
commissioner
Alexander
how
large
of
a
team
around
how
many
ftes
do.
We
imagine
will
be
needed
to
implement
this
agreement.
A
M
Council,
member
Johnson,
thank
you
for
your
question.
Unfortunately,
the
chief
is
not
here
this
morning,
which
he
should
be,
but
let
me
say
this:
it
is
my
understanding
is
about
27
ftes
that
will
be
required
for
this
work
to
be
done.
So
it's
going
to
be
quite
intensive,
we're
looking
forward
to
it
he's
looking
forward
to
it.
That's
the
charge
he's
been
given
to
make
sure
that
we
move
this
process
along
in
a
way
that's
going
to
be
Equitable
and
fair
to
this
community
and
across
this
entire
Enterprise.
M
In
the
comments,
certainly
I've
heard
from
each
one
of
the
council
members
this
morning,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
commitment
and
and
I
think
it's
also
important
that
everything
that
you
said
has
been
heartfelt
and
we're
going
to
do
everything,
certainly
that
we
can,
with
support
of
of
of
counsel
in
this
community
and
our
and
Personnel
within
our
Police
Department
as
well
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
we
all
move
together
together
to
correct
the
wrongs
that
certainly
and
clearly
have
been
evidenced
in
this
community
over
time.
M
Long
before
many
of
us
have
taken
positions,
we're
in
now
so
I
look
forward
to
to
to
this
and
where
we're
going
with
it,
because
I
think
it's
an
opportunity.
Councilmember
Johnson
with
these
27
ftes
and
the
enthusiasm
that
we
all
are
are
going
to
proceed
with
to
make
sure
that
this
city
gets
what
it
needs
and
what
it
deserves
from
Public
Safety
is
outlined
by
council,
member
wansley
and
Chavez
and
Payne.
L
You,
commissioner,
thank
you,
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
worked
on
this,
and
it
was
a
Monumental
effort
from
our
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
to
our
city,
attorney's
office,
the
police
department,
the
coordinator's
office
staff,
all
throughout
the
Enterprise.
You
know
there
are
a
lot
of
community
engagement
along
the
way
as
well
and
asking
Community
for
their
thoughts,
and
so
many
interviews
with
both
current
and
former
Personnel
outside
perspective.
L
So
it
really
is
a
Monumental
effort
to
get
to
this
point
today
around
any
sort
of
suggestion
of
a
delay.
I
understand
the
reasoning
and
the
rationale
that
has
been
communicated.
I
do
personally,
though,
I
think
this
is
a
pretty
unique
case.
L
This
is
just
an
up
or
down
vote,
and
given
the
good
policy
in
this
I,
don't
imagine
anyone
voting
no
against
this
whole
package
of
good
policy
and
we've
also
had
multiple
checks
and
balances
along
the
way
and
we'll
continue
to
as
well
through
the
court
system
as
it
comes
to
implementation
of
this
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
something
that
commissioner
Alexander
said
around
this
27
FTE.
In
order
to
implement
this
I
think
that's
a
great
thing.
L
Those
are
folks
that
are
going
to
be
tasked
with
ensuring
that
MPD
is
consistent
in
their
operations,
is
implementing
best
practices
and
that
all
Personnel
within
MPD
are
performing
at
a
high
level.
I
do
have
some
regret
that
those
Personnel
doing
that
work
were
not
put
in
place
years
ago
under
a
previous
police
Administration.
L
But
I
want
to
thank
commissioner
Alexander
and
chief
O'hara
for
their
leadership
and
to
the
administration
for
their
leadership
around
this
issue,
of
changing
the
way
that
we're
managing
the
department,
because
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
what
we
need
to
ultimately
change
MPD
and
transform
it
into
what
it
needs
to
be
for
our
city
and,
lastly,
I
want
to
say
now
it's
on
us
to
Resource
and
support
these
efforts
in
this
agreement,
and
I
am
committed
to
doing
so
and
I
hope.
L
We
can
continue
to
support
leadership
in
implementing
these
changes,
because
today,
while
it
is
the
end
of
coming
to
a
consent
decree,
it
is
the
beginning
of
the
work
that
is
all
contained
within
it.
So,
thank
you
again
to
everyone
who
is
a
part
of
this
I
support
this
item
today
and
I'm
glad
to
join
my
colleagues
in
voting
for
it.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Johnson
I
do
want
to
just
correct
the
last
statement.
This
is
an
enforceable
agreement,
not
a
consent
decree,
but
it
is,
as
you
stated,
the
beginning
of
a
journey
that
we
all
should
be
on
councilmember.
G
President,
so
I
I,
you
know
before
thinking
any
any
of
our
staff
or
our
partners.
I
just
want
to
start
with
a
a
sincere,
a
sincere
apology
to
to
victims
of
of
police
brutality
and
police
violence
in
our
in
our
city,
in
our
community,
their
families
and
our
community.
Broadly
that
have
all
experienced
so
much
trauma.
G
Last
several
decades,
at
the
at
the
hands
of
our
city
and
of
our
of
our
Police
Department
I'm,
really
really
optimistic
that
we
have
a
document
that
has
some
teeth
to
it.
That's
going
to
hold
us
accountable
and,
and
not
just
our
police
department,
but
everyone
in
this
city
accountable.
G
I
do
want
to
take
a
second
though,
to
to
thank
our
our
City
attorney
Kristen
Anderson.
G
When
you
came
into
this
role,
you
just
took
bring
us
to
the
negotiating
table
with
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
really
seriously,
and
you
kept
us
there
and
you
kept
making
progress
and-
and
we
wouldn't
have
gotten
to
this
moment
with
without
your
tireless
work-
thank
you
so
so
much
and
then
to
our
our
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights,
commissioner
Rebecca
Lucero
for
first
believing
the
people
of
Minneapolis
when
they
said
there
is
a
pattern
of
racism
within
this
department
and
then
for
investigating
it
and
for
publishing
it
so
thoroughly.
G
G
I've
read
this
entire
144-page
document.
It's
been
a
really
long
couple
of
days
and
there
are
some
really
important
and
frankly,
life-changing
life-saving
things
in
in
this.
In
this
consent,
decree
in
this
court
enforceable
settlement
agreement.
G
First,
there's
an
end
to
the
the
police
department
searching
a
car,
an
individual
based
on
the
smell
of
marijuana
and
and
to
pretext
stops
like
broken
tail
lights
and
tinted
windows
and
end
to
training
on
excited
delirium
and
and
a
requirement
to
do
community
engagement
on
changes
to
policy
in
the
areas
that
our
City
attorney
outlined
earlier.
G
The
ability
for
the
people
in
Minneapolis
to
to
have
input
in
selecting
the
independent
evaluator
that
is
going
to
come
in
which
inherently
I
believe
builds
in
accountability
for
for
that
monitor
with
with
residents
in
our
city
and,
frankly,
I
think
this
document
is
a
shift
in
in
the
power
dynamics
that
exists
right
now,
where
we
have
just
one
or
two
people
who
are
who
are
truly
in
charge
and
have
decision-making
power
over
our
police
department
and
and
instead,
bringing
in
other,
experienced
and
independent
and
empowered
decision
makers
with
legitimate
decision-making
power
and
and
and
ability
to
to
make
these
critical
changes
in
our
city.
G
So
I'm
really
excited
to
to
support
this.
This
item
today
and
and
really
thankful
to
colleagues
for
all
of
our
our
hard
work
over
the
last
couple
of
days,
I
know
it's
been
in.
It's
been
difficult
to
really
really
dig
in
and
make
sure
we
understand
what's
happening
and
and
to
make
the
best
decision
we
can,
with
the
information
that
we
have
in
this
moment,.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
next,
thank
you.
It's
council
member
wisely.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
couple
of
follow-up
things.
So
I
know:
council,
member
Johnson
just
raised
Staffing
and,
and
commissioner
Alexander
spoke
to
her.
H
I
do
want
a
name
yesterday
that
Chief
O'hara
did
state
that
he
was
in
Council
and
hopefully
that
gets
uploaded
to
Lim
2
of
our
fully
updated
staffing
chart
so
that
the
public
can
see
what
Staffing
levels
will
look
like
in
consideration
of
the
implementation
team
in
all
of
the
divisions
that
fall
under
MPD,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
he
will
follow
up
and
get
that
to
all
of
us
and
also
update,
what's
already
on
Lambs
from
the
presentation
that
he
gave
to
Cal
a
couple
weeks
ago.
H
Second,
I
also
want
to
know
around
further
engagement
on
this
body
around
this
process.
I
have
asked
council
president
Jenkins
and
council
member
Jeremiah
Ellison,
who
both
co-chair
the
patterns
and
practice
subcommittee
to
bring
forward
a
plan
for
us
to
have
regular
updates
around
this.
That's
also
I'm
going
to
have
conversations
with
the
city
attorney
to
make
sure
that
the
independent
evaluator
is
also
going
to
be
held
to
account
to
be
part
of
those
conversations.
H
That
way
again,
the
public
is
not
xed
out
in
how
we
do
these
next
steps,
so
I've
gotten
support
or
her
support
from
Council
president
and
council
member
Ellison
around
making
sure
that
our
patterns
and
practice
committee
is
very
robust
in
how
we
talk
about
this
and
have
discussions
of
how
this
council
is
going
to
approach
that
process
and
making
sure
we
meet
the
provisions
that's
outlined
in
this
agreement.
H
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
again
the
fiscal
analysis
piece,
that's
something
that
I'm
absolutely
going
to
be
bringing
forward
because
folks
do
not
need
to
I
think
we
keep
hearing
about.
Yes,
we
need
to
fund
what
is
listed
in
this
agreement,
but
again
we
that
does
not
mean
we
need
to
continue
to
bankrupt
our
city
for
just
one
Department.
H
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
approaching
this
in
the
most
fiscally
responsible
way
and
making
sure
that
we're
evaluating
existing
resources
and
if
there's
a
way
in
which
this
process
can
fit
within
those
existing
resources
around
Public
Safety.
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
those
key
factors
that
we
discussed
during
our
briefing
yesterday
and
that
I'll
be
continuing
to
follow
up
with
our
colleagues
to
ensure
that
the
public
is
engaged.
There's
better
transparency
around
this
and
making
sure
that
your
pockets
ain't
gonna
continue
being
hurt
because
of
police
misconduct.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
wansley
I,
put
myself
in
queue
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
can
add
any
more
to
what
has
already
been
stated.
I
I
want
to
Echo
the
thank
yous
to
all
of
the
the
folks
that
have
worked
diligently
to
bring
this
document
to
fruition.
A
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
harms
that
have
been
done
to
our
community,
not
only
in
this
community.
Here
in
Minneapolis,
though
this
is
what
we're
talking
about
here,
but
all
throughout
the
country,
and
so
you
know
the
comments
around
Council
Members,
wisely
Chavez,
choktai
Ellison
are
all
accurate
and
correct,
but
this
is
a
road
map
to
correcting
some
of
those
problems
and
it's
a
historic
day.
A
A
historic
vote
and
I
will
now
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
Rome.
B
A
That
item
passes
and
with
that
we
have
completed
our
business
for
today
before
I
a
joined.
This
meeting
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
today,
March
31st
is
international
transgender
date
of
visibility
and
I'm,
proud,
as
the
president
of
this
body,
to
say
that
transgender
lives
are
affirmed,
respected
and
honored
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
with
nothing
further
to
come
before
this
Council
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone
have
a
great
weekend.
N
I
got
guys
that
I
can
count
on

I'm
down
in
a
hole,
I
got
guys
that
are
up
above
making
sure
everything's
fine
checking
on
me,
making
sure
I'm,
fine
and
making
sure
everybody
on
the
crew
safe.
The
