A
On
a
happy
Springtime
to
all
my
colleagues,
it's
really
nice
to
see
that
sun
shining
isn't
it.
My
name
is
Michael
rainville
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
intergovernmental
Relations,
Committee
and
I'm,
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
meeting
for
Tuesday
April
11th
I'll
now
have
the
clerk
call
the
roll?
Please
councilmember.
C
A
We
have
eight
presidents.
Thank
you.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
one
item
today,
which
is
a
presentation
by
our
igr
team
on
Federal
and
State
actions
affecting
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I'll
null
invite
Katie
to
plinka
our
igr
director
to
introduce
her
team
and
begin
this
presentation.
E
The
legislature
is
just
returning
from
a
break
today,
which
is
partly
why
we're
all
able
to
be
here
they're
easing
back
into
things
and
prior
to
the
break.
They
did
a
lot
of
work
on
budget
bills
separately
in
the
House
and
Senate,
and
they
will
be
bringing
those
together
over
the
next
six
weeks.
So
we
are
going
to
provide
updates
on
those
budget
bills
and
budget
targets
before
we
get
into
that.
I'll
just
provide
a
couple
of
other
updates
on
where
things
stand.
E
There
have
been
about
3,
200
bills,
introduced
in
both
the
House
and
Senate.
As
of
last
week
before
they
went
on
break.
There
are
23
bills
that
have
been
passed
by
both
Chambers
and
I
have
some
highlights,
since
we
last
presented
to
you
on
some
of
the
things
that
have
passed.
E
There's
the
catalytic
converter
bill,
which
is
aimed
at
adding
more
requirements
for
scrap
metal
dealers
that
buy
the
products
and
adding
criminal
penalties
for
illegal
possession
of
catalytic
converters.
Trying
to
reduce
the
number
of
thefts.
The
House
and
Senate
also
passed
the
Minnesota
Indian
family
preservation
act,
which
is
ads
and
strengthens
protections
aimed
at
keeping
Native
American
children
within
the
foster,
foster
care
system
in
Native,
American
families.
E
Before
we
get
into
budget
Bill
updates.
We
just
wanted
to
also
update
on
a
couple
of
the
policy
bills
that
we've
been
regularly
updating
you
on
when
we're
here
to
present.
So
the
state
and
local
government
committees,
and
both
the
House
and
Senate
have
Omnibus
policy
bills.
E
The
the
bill
to
repeal
the
statute
that
established
the
municipal
building
commission
is
in
both
of
those
bills,
and
so
at
some
point
there
will
be
a
conference
committee
and
we
anticipate
that
we'll
continue
to
move
forward.
Another
provision,
that's
included
in
both
the
House
and
Senate
state
and
local
government
bills,
is
the
compensation
cap
repealing
the
local
official
compensation
cap
on
the
transportation
side.
Our
micro
Mobility
signage
bill
is
moving
and
if
you
do
have
detailed
questions
about
that,
Steve
huser
can
help
address.
E
Those
he's
been
pushing
that
along,
but
that
is
legislation
that
expands
exceptions
for
advertisement
and
right-of-way
areas
to
include
micro,
Mobility
facilities.
So
this
would
allow
the
city
to
create,
centralized
locations
and
decide
where
the
locations
can
be
to
charge
things
like
electric
scooters
or
electric
bikes,
so
that
they're
not
left
in
the
right
of
way
or
places
they
shouldn't
be.
E
We
did
work
on
a
bill
related
to
traffic
enforcement
cameras.
That
bill
is
not
moving
right
now,
but
there
is
a
provision
in
the
House
and
Senate
Transportation
budget
bills.
That
would
allow
for
a
study
around
traffic
enforcement
cameras,
and
we
do
have
authors
for
the
bills
and
have
been
talking
with
the
committee
chairs
and
anticipate
continuing
to
work
on
that
next
session.
E
And
then
the
last
policy
bill
I
was
planning
to
highlight
was
the
rental
protection
Omnibus
bills.
We
did
talk
about
that
at
our
last
presentation.
Both
of
those
bills
have
moved
through
committees
in
the
House
and
Senate
and
are
awaiting
action
on
the
floor
and
the
provisions
that
are
included
in
the
rental
protection
Omnibus
are
prohibiting
rental
discrimination
based
on
somebody
being
a
rent
having
rental
assistance.
There's
some
Provisions
related
to
pets.
It's
there's
requirements
for
landlords
to
disclose
fees
and
forbid
certain
fees.
E
E
So
now,
moving
on
to
budget
in
March,
the
budget
Target
joint
budget
targets
were
released.
So
these
are
targets
that
the
governor
and
House
and
Senate
leadership
all
agreed
to,
and
that
is
noteworthy
because
in
recent
years
at
least,
we
have
typically
seen
that
happen
in
May
very
late
in
session
It's.
Usually
the
house
has
targets
The
Summit
House
targets,
the
governor
has
his
budget.
They
each
do
their
work
and
then
they
reach
joint
Targets
later
in
session.
So
I
think
that
is
a
sign
that
there
will.
E
You
know,
agreements
will
come
together,
pretend
maybe
not
earlier,
but
maybe
in
a
little
more
smoothly
than
they
have
in
recent
years,
because
they've
already
reached
these
joint
targets.
So
just
as
a
reminder,
the
state's
budget
is
about
a
65
billion
dollar
budget.
We
do
have
a
17.5
billion
dollar
budget
surplus.
Currently,
the
targets
are
what
they
agreed
to
how
to
spend
that
Surplus,
and
so
the
targets
have
a
17.8
billion
dollar
general
fund
impact.
E
E
The
next
highest
Target
is
Debt
Service
and
capital
projects,
so
a
capital
investment
Bill.
Hopefully
then
K-12
education
and
Human
Services
and
those
two
areas
also
have
the
largest
ongoing
targets.
A
lot
of
these
other
areas
like
transportation
and
housing,
which
both
have
billion
dollar
targets.
That's
a
lot
of
one-time
spending,
because
a
lot
of
the
Surplus
is
one-time
money.
E
So
this
is
sort
of
the
largest
targets
that
are
represented
on
this
slide
and
again
those
joint
targets
were
agreed
to
and
that's
what
the
committee
chairs
then
are
working
off
of
as
they're
putting
together
their
budget
bills,
and
so
now
we're
going
to
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
about.
E
What's
in
some
of
the
House
and
Senate
budget
bills,
and
so
I'm
going
to
start
with
economic
development
and
then
I'll
hand
it
off
to
Indira
to
talk
about
housing
so
in
the
economic
development
bills,
one
of
the
big
priorities
for
the
city,
of
course
has
been
economic
recovery,
particularly
in
the
cultural
corridors
in
our
community
that
were
most
impacted
by
the
civil
unrest
after
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
in
2020..
So
both
the
House
and
Senate
bills
do
have
significant
funding
for
economic
recovery.
E
So
the
house
bill
has
62.9
million
dollars
over
the
next
two
years
for
what
they
have
called
the
empowering
Enterprise
program
and
the
empowering
Enterprise
program
will
serve
organizations
that
will
create
Local
Economic
relief
programs,
designed
with
the
primary
goal
of
assisting
communities
adversely
affected
by
the
civil
unrest,
and
also
encouraging
supporting
the
existing
entities
in
those
locations
and
encouraging
new
entities
to
locate
in
these
areas,
and
the
programs
need
to
include
Outreach
to
cultural
communities
and
support
for
micro,
Enterprises
So
within
that
62.9
million
dollars
that
the
house
has
designated
for
empowering
Enterprise
31
million
each
year
is
a
direct
appropriation
to
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
so
that
money
would
come
to
the
city
and
our
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
would
work
with
local
businesses
to
get
this
money
out
the
door
to
them
to
support
them
in
their
recovery.
E
On
the
Senate
side,
the
economic
recovery
is
addressed
through
what
they're
calling
the
promise
act
for
through
grants
and
Loans
through
the
promise
act.
The
promise
act.
The
acronym
stands
for
providing
resources,
opportunity
and
maximizing
Investments
and
striving
entrepreneurs,
so
it
would
be
50
million
dollars
each
year.
That
would
be
distributed
through
Department
of
Economic
or
employment
and
economic
development
at
the
state
and
the
grants
would
be
distributed.
Grants
and
Loans
will
be
distributed
through
partner
organizations.
E
So
some
of
those
partner
organizations
include
the
initiative
foundations
in
Greater,
Minnesota
and
NDC
in
the
metro
area
also,
and
then
the
loans
would
be
distributed
through
media
and
I'm
completely
forgetting
what
Meda
stands
for
right
at
the
moment.
E
But
I
will
look
it
up
and
tell
you
if
anyone
is
not
familiar
with
Mita,
but
those
that's
how
that
money
will
be
distributed
through
communities
under
the
Senate
bill.
So
again,
both
significant
amounts
of
funding
for
economic
recovery,
slightly
different
amounts
and
slightly
different
approaches
and
those
differences
will
be
worked
out
through
a
conference
committee.
E
Of
course,
it
is
on
the
city's
legislative
agenda
that
we
are
seeking
a
direct
appropriation
to
the
city
for
economic
recovery
efforts,
so
we
will
be
advocating
for
for
what's
in
the
house
bill
as
we
talk
with
with
committee
members
going
into
conference
committee,
but
certainly
money
for
economic
recovery
in
the
city
is
the
overarching
goal
a
couple
of
other
Provisions
in
the
economic
development
bill
that
we
know
are
of
interest
to
all
of
you.
One
is
establishing
an
office
of
Child
Care,
Community
Partnerships.
E
A
E
Cherry
Greenville
I,
it's
a
good
question.
I
I
mean
the
state
does
have
a
reserve
and
MMB.
Typically,
that
is
part
of
the
budgeting
process
that
there
is
typically
money
in
the
reserve,
but
I
don't
know
the
details
of
that
and.
F
A
I'm
sure
tell
them
to
save
a
little
bit,
okay
and
and
one
other
question:
how
are
we
doing
with
the
U.S
Bank
Stadium
mortgage
payment.
E
Yes,
that's
a
good
question
cherianville
and
council
members,
so
the
the
budget
targets
do
account
for
repaying
the
the
bonds
on
U.S
Bank
Stadium.
What
is
still
there's
still
a
lot
of
details
left
to
be
determined.
There
are
a
couple
of
different
Bills
moving,
some
that
address
the
city's
Debt
Service
obligations
and
some
that
meaning
that
our,
if
the
bonds
are
paid
off
the
city
would
no
longer
have
to
make
those
Debt
Service
payments.
Other
bills,
don't
take
that
approach.
E
So
if
the
bonds
were
paid
off,
the
city
would
still
be
paying
the
state
on
some
of
those
Debt
Service
obligations.
So
our
understanding
is
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
provision
in
the
tax
bill
like
or
likely
to
be
a
provision
in
the
tax
bill,
and
so
there
are
still
additional
negotiations
to
come
around
sort
of
the
outcome
of
U.S,
Bank
Stadium
and
what
it
means
for
Minneapolis.
E
But
it
is
addressed
in
the
targets
and
that
there
is
a
line
item
that
would
be
the
repayment
of
those
of
those
bonds.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
any
any
other
questions
I'd
like
to
record
to
reflect
that
we've
had
councilmember
Osmond,
join
us
and
councilman
Paul
Fasano.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Katie
director
to
blinko.
G
Good
morning
everybody
chair
council
members
good
morning.
My
name
is
Indira
Falana
I'm,
the
newest
government
relations
representative,
as
director
Tomica
already
mentioned,
I
will
be
presenting
or
just
a
few
different
highlights,
I'm
in
the
housing
Omnibus
budget
bill.
So
the
first
program
is
the
community
stabilization
program.
G
The
purpose
of
this
program
is
to
provide
grants
or
loans
for
the
preservation
of
NOAA
or
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
through
acquisition
and
Rehabilitation
and
the
house
proposal.
This
is
being
funded
at
150
million
dollars
and
in
the
Senate
proposal
it's
being
funded
at
100
million
and
that's
in
a
proposal.
30
million
dollars
is
going
to
be,
is
going
to
be
directly
allocated
to
the
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
G
The
next
program
is
rental
assistance,
so
this
program
is
called
the
family,
homelessness
prevention
and
assistance
program
and
is
run
by
the
Minnesota
Housing
Finance
Agency
director
Topanga,
already
mentioned
that
50
million
dollars
has
been
appropriated
from
the
legislature
to
go
into
this
fund
for
emergency
assistance.
G
So
in
the
house
proposal,
100
million
dollars
of
funding
is
being
allocated
for
this
program,
with
24
million
dollars
being
ongoing
in
the
Senate.
It's
131
million
dollars
with
20
million
of
that
being
ongoing,
so
funds
for
this
program
provides
supportive
and
financial
assistance
to
families,
Youth
and
individuals,
experiencing
homelessness
or
or
are
at
risk
of
being
homelessness,
and
then
direct
financial
assistance
may
include
covering
rent,
Utility
payments
or
other
housing
costs.
G
The
house
proposal
appropriates
150
million
dollars
to
this
program
with
the
Senate
appropriating
125
billion
dollars.
Housing
infrastructure
bonds
are
issued
through
our
state's
Housing
Finance
Agency,
and
the
funds
are
used
for
new
construction
acquisition
or
Rehabilitation
of
permanent
rental
housing.
The
house
proposal
is
appropriating
200
million
dollars
in
funding
and
cash
for
these
Bonds
in
the
Senate.
It
is
a
hundred
million
dollars.
Our
emergency
shelter
funding
is
not
in
our
housing
budget,
but
I
do
want
to
highlight
it.
G
The
next
program
is
our
high-rise
sprinkler
grant
program.
This
is
also
this
is
actually
in
both
bills
at
the
same
amount,
so
for
10
million
dollars
in
funding
in
both
the
House
and
Senate,
so
in
both
bills.
So
this
program
would
be
run
by
our
state's
Housing
Finance
Agency
in
order
to
fund.
G
Thank
you.
This
program
will
be
run
by
our
Minnesota
Housing
Finance
Agency,
in
order
to
fund
sprinkler
installation
and
in
buildings
with
housing
units
located
at
least
75
feet
above
fire
department,
vehicle
access
and
then
in
both
proposals
in
both
of
these
bills,
there
are
four
million
dollars
is
directly
appropriated
to
for
the
installation
of
sprinkler
systems
at
Seward,
Tower,
West
and
Seward
Tower
East.
G
The
next
program
is
let
safe
homes
grant
program.
This
also
would
be
run
by
our
Housing
Finance
Agency
in
the
state,
and
this
is
to
assess
and
mitigate
lead
hazards
in
rental
housing.
This
is
for
properties
built
before
1978
and
the
grants
would
be
used
for
lead,
testing
and
risk
assets
assessments.
G
Both
proposals
have
this
at
five
million
dollars
so
next
on
to
environment,
the
Minnesota
relief
program
is
a
pro
is
a
program
that
was
established
by
the
department
of
resources
in
order
to
encourage
the
planting,
maintenance
and
Improvement
of
trees
in
communities
across
the
state.
We're
also
hoping
that
this
funding
can
be
used
to
ease
the
burden
of
the
cost
for
homeowners
when
it
comes
to
removing
infected
ash
trees.
G
So
the
house
provides
21
million
dollars
in
funding
for
this
program
and
the
Senate
provides
18
million
dollars
for
this
program
and
funding
the
emerald
ash
borer,
also
known
as
EAB
response
grant
program
is
in
response
to
the
invasive
plant
pest
known
as
the
Emerald
Ash
ore,
that
is,
that
is
killing
all
ash
trees
across
the
state.
The
funding
for
this
program
would
be
used
to
properly
transport
process
and
dispose
of
wood
waste
containing
ash
tree
material.
G
Pfas
I'm
not
even
going
to
begin
to
pretend
to
know
how
to
pronounce
that
acronym,
but
there
is
a
proposal
in
both
the
House
and
Senate
that
would
ban
the
use,
prohibit
the
use
of
intentionally
added
a
pfos
in
a
variety
of
products
that
we
use
every
day.
So
this
so
pfos
is
known
to
be
a
dangerous
forever
forever.
Chemical,
that's
found
in
many
of
the
products
again
that
we
use
daily,
such
as
Cosmetics
Furniture.
G
This
pfos
band
would
apply
to
even
more
than
I'm
mentioning
now
such
as
cookware
dental
floss,
and
there
is
2.2
million
dollars
in
both
bills
in
funding
for
that
ban,
the
next
Provisions
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about
here
only
in
the
house.
So
this.
H
H
Could
one
or
two
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
emerald
ash
borer
funding
I
do
know
that
for
some
of
some
of
the
mitigation
that's
happening
at
the
park
level,
that's
that
cost
is
being
passed
on
to
homeowners
or
you
know
landowners
and
at
least
anecdotally
we're
getting
you
know,
reports
or
hearing
feedback
that
folks
are
being
displaced
by
those
costs.
Do
you
know
if
the
state
funding
is
also
going
to
be
sort
of
passed
on
to
the
folks
who
are
having
these
trees
removed?
H
G
Chair
rainville,
council,
member
Allison,
yes,
so
the
EAB
response
grant
program
is
one
attempt
at
absorbing
those
costs
from
the
homeowners
as
and
then
also
the
Minnesota
relief
program
is
also
another
attempt
at
absorbing
those
costs
for
homeowners.
So,
with
the
relief
program,
we
are
hoping
that
this
funding
can
be
used
to
use
the
cost
of
of
the
burden
for
homeowners
and.
G
Thank
you.
So
next
again,
so
these
Provisions
are
only
in
the
house,
not
in
the
Senate.
So
this
is
so
the
disposition
of
settlement
money.
This
proposal
states
that
whenever
mpca,
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
agency
recovers
more
than
250
000
from
litigation
or
settlement
agreement
regarding
a
permit
violation.
40
of
the
money
must
be
transferred
to
the
Community
Health,
Board
or
local
public
health
agency.
In
the
area
where
residents
may
have
been
exposed
to
the
pollution,
that
was
the
subject
of
litigation
or
settlement.
G
So
our
city
is
an
example
of
this,
because
in
the
past
we've
received
funds
from
a
settlement.
This
was
between
mpca
and
Northern
Metals
Recycling
up
next
cumulative
impacts.
This
is
an
environmental
justice
proposal
and
it
requires
a
cumulative
environmental
impact
analysis
to
be
conducted
for
certain
permit
decisions
that
may
affect
an
environmental
justice
area,
and
it
requires
the
mpca
commissioner
to
deny
a
permit
application.
G
If
the
analysis
shows
that
issuing
it
would
be
would
contribute
to
cumulative
adverse
environmental
stresses
in
the
area,
and
there
is
18.7
million
dollars
in
funding
for
this
proposal
again
only
in
the
house
and
the
community.
Air
monitoring
is
another
environmental
justice
proposal
and
it
establishes
a
pilot
program
in
the
pollution
control
agency
mtca
to
reward
grants
to
non-profit
organizations
located
in
the
environmental
justice
areas.
G
Partnering
with
organizations
have
having
technical
experience,
deploying
air
monitoring
networks
to
measure
the
level
of
air
pollutants
in
multiple
neighborhood
locations,
including
mobile
and
sensor-based
handheld
devices
funding
priority
Authority
is
given
to
proposed
projects
in
neighborhoods
whose
residence
experience
High
rates
of
illness
associated
with
exposure
to
air
pollution
and
there's
five
million
dollars
in
funding
for
that
proposal,
and
next
I'm
going
to
pass
it
off
to
my
colleague,
Steven
huser.
To
continue
with
the
presentation.
I
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
members
of
the
committee,
so
I've
got
the
transportation
budget
bills
to
go
over
for
you,
so
both
at
a
high
level,
the
Senate
bills,
Senate
and
House
bills
roughly
match
up
in
terms
of
total
spending.
So
in
2024
there
are
4.2
billion
dollars
being
spent
in
both
bills
and
3.8
billion
in
2025
in
the
Senate
Bill
3.7
billion
dollars
in
2025
in
the
house
bill
I'm
going
to
go
over
some
kind
of
high-level,
most
pertinent
Provisions
related
to
the
city
and
City
finances
related
to
Transportation
infrastructure.
I
So
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list
of
all
that
is
in
that
are
in
these
bills.
Msa,
the
municipal,
State
AIDS
streets
system,
funding,
the
there's
an
increase
in
that
state
funding
in
both
bills,
there's
a
higher
increase
in
the
transportation
budget
for
the
senate.
In
total,
there
are
248
million
dollars
for
MSA
in
2024
and
278
million
dollars
in
2025
in
the
Senate
and
then
236
and
271
in
the
house
Falls
respectively.
I
So
these
these,
the
MSA
program,
is
for
up
to
20
of
a
city's
designated
Street
system,
and
so
this
is
relevant
because
of
the
large
cities.
Assistance
account
that
I'll
reference
later
on
in
the
presentation,
so
both
bills
are
looking
at
new
revenues.
New
state
and
Regional
revenues
for
transportation,
both
of
the
Senate
and
House
bills,
are
contemplating
a
Metro
Regional
sales
tax.
This
would
be
a
a
point.
I
think
both
bills
have
a
0.75
percent
Regional
tax
and
that
money
would
go
to
five.
I
Six
of
the
money
would
go
to
transit
for
the
region
in
both
bills.
One-Sixth
of
the
money
in
the
Senate
bill
will
go
to
the
casa
or
the
county
state
aid
Highway
formula
money.
While
the
house
takes
an
approach
of
giving
that
1
6
of
the
money
to
the
transportation,
Advisory
board
or
tab
to
be
distributed
for
Highway,
Improvement
safety
or
active
Transportation
I
will
note
that
City
of
Minneapolis
does
have
a
seat
on
the
tab,
as
do
eight
other
cities
in
the
region.
I
The
other
new
Revenue
being
contemplated
by
both
bills
is
a
75
delivery
fee.
So
this
would
be
on
Goods
that
are
delivered
to
your
homes.
They
have
to
already
be
non
or
have
to
already
be
able
to
be
taxed,
so
clothing
would
not
qualify
for
as
something
that
would
be
taxed
for
this
delivery
fee
and
that
money
would
go
to
a
part
of
that
money
in
the
Senate
bill
goes
to
the
large
cities.
Assistance
account.
This
is
now
a
new.
I
It
would
be
a
new
account
that
would
be
created
in
statute
that
cities
over
5000
would
be
able
to
use
on
their
non-msa
portions
of
their
street
system.
So
if
a
city
has
up
to
20
percent
on
MSA
the
large
cities,
assistance
account,
funding
would
be
able
to
be
used
on
the
other
80
percent
of
a
city
street
system
that
could
be
used
for
things
like
a
pavement,
Improvement
program,
or
things
like
that
that,
hopefully,
if
these
are
dedicated
in
ongoing
funds,
cities
can
contemplate
how
to
program
that
money
into
their
City
budget.
I
In
the
on
the
Senate
side,
portion
of
that
money
goes
into
a
transportation
advancement
account
which
is
which
is
new
and
then
portion
of
that
money
also
goes
into
MSA
and
boosting
those
funds.
Both
bills
also
contemplate
a
change
to
the
registration
tab
fee
schedule,
so
they're
going
to
be
making.
I
They
are
similar
tweaks
but
I,
don't
think
they're,
they're,
quite
identical,
but
what
they're
doing
is
they're
changing
the
depreciation
schedule
for
your
vehicles
when
you
register
them
with
the
state
in
terms
of
the
the
age
of
the
car,
so
they're
they're
slowing
that
down,
so
that
you'll
kind
of,
if
you
have
a
newer
car
you'll
pay,
a
higher
registration
fee
amount
for
one
or
two
years
longer
than
you
would
otherwise,
and
then
that
money,
parts
of
that
money
are
directed
towards
the
highway
user
tax
distribution
fund,
which
MSA
comes
from
and
other
areas
and
I
think
Mr
chair.
I
It
might
be
a
good
chance
to
pause
because
that
the
revenue
raisers
are
are
probably
the
most
controversial
parts
of
the
transportation
bill.
So
if
there
are
any
console
questions,
I
can
pause
at
this
moment.
Thank.
A
I
So
the
the
city
had
a
proposal
to
the
legislature
that
would
have
asked
for
broad
Authority
to
set
up
a
camera
program
for
Speed
enforcement
and
red
lights.
We
did
have
a
we
drafted,
an
amendment
to
our
original
Bill
to
include
a
red
light
program
as
well.
I
We
had
good
conversations
with
our
authors
and
the
chairs
of
the
committee.
At
the
time
we
were
looking
at
having
some
committee
work
done
on
that
bill.
It
did
start
to
look
like.
There
was
a
lot
more
questions
that
we
were
getting
and
some
pushback
in
terms
of
concern
about
how
that
could
be
implemented.
The
chairs
of
the
of
the
transportation
committees
you
know
said.
Maybe
we
can
do
a
little
bit
more
work
for
next
session,
so
I
think
for
this
session.
I
We
we've
made
some
progress
in
changing
the
language
making
sure
we
were
working
with
those
who
had
concerns
with
our
legislation
to
try
and
alleviate
that
through
the
bill,
language
or
just
a
simple
explanation
of
what
we
have
in
mind
in
terms
of
implementing
it
in
the
city.
So
I
do
think
we're
well
positioned
for
next
session
to
to
hit
the
ground
running
right
away
when
they
reconvene
early
next
year.
C
Chair
and
Mr
Hauser
I
guess
my
question.
The
rev.
The
new
revenues
are
any
of
them
being
dedicated
to
Transit.
I
Mr
chair
council,
member
Jenkins,
so
the
Metro
Regional
region,
sales,
tax,
five
sixths
of
that
money-
is
dedicated
to
the
the
metro
area
transit
system.
So
nearly
all
you
know,
with
the
exception
of
that
one,
six
we'll
go
to
Transit.
C
I
That
it
would
be
my
understanding,
yes,
Mr,
chairman
councilmember
Jenkins,
all
right.
Thank
you
all
right,
and
so
it's
a
good
segue
into
a
Transit
provision.
That's
in
both
bills.
So
Transit
safety
has
been
a
a
topic
of
conversation
from
the
beginning
of
session
in
both
Chambers
related
to
the
transit
system.
So
both
bills
include
a
trip
program
or
a
Transit
Rider
investment
program.
What
this
program
would
do
is
it
would
fund
work
to
improve
safety
on
the
transit
system
through
what
other
Metro
regions
have
called
an
ambassador
program.
I
So
it's
contemplating
making
some
changes,
creating
a
a
rider
safety,
forgetting
the
terms
that
they're
using
for
it,
but
it's
basically
a
rules
of
conduct
for
for
Transit
that
these
ambassadors
then
would
enforce
it's
not
to
supplant
the
Metro
Transit
Police
that
operate
the
with
on
the
transit
system,
but
it'd
be
a
supplement
to
that
to
try
and
get
at
some
of
the
lower
level.
You
know
non-criminal
activities
that
make
riding
Transit
less
enjoyable
than
it
should
be.
I
Only
the
Senate
Bill
includes
the
large
City's
assistance
account
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
I
will
say
that
we've
had
conversations
with
the
house
on
the
house
side.
They
are
definitely
open
to
that
idea.
There
was
a
house
bill
that
was
heard
in
committee
that
would
have
used
a
portion
of
the
75
cent
delivery
fee
to
also
fund
that
program
and
I
know
that
there
is
support
amongst
house
members
for
that
idea
as
well.
I
Both
Transportation
bills
have
contemplated
the
Met
Council
governance
and
changes
to
how
the
Met
Council
how
the
Met
council
members
are
selected
on
the
house
side.
They
are
setting
up
a
task
force
to
then
make
recommendations
to
the
legislature
on
those
changes
and
the
there's
a
similar
committee
or
advisory
Council
that
is
set
up
on
the
Senate
side
as
well
to
do
similar
work.
I
Most
of
the
conversation
around
Metropolitan
governance
has
been
around
Transit
decisions
and
the
how
the
transit
system
operates.
But
it's
important
to
remember
that
the
Mac
console
also
takes
on
some
work
for
regional
planning,
the
Wastewater
Regional
Wastewater
system,
as
well
as
some
they
have
some
housing
work
that
the
Met
Council
does
as
well.
So,
just
something
for
the
console
to
remember
and
then
both
bodies
also
included
Northern
Lights
Express
funding
in
the
Senate
bill.
I
And
I'll
pause
there
Mr
chair,
that's
the
end
of
my
Transportation
presentation.
C
If
the
can
you
go
back,
one
slide,
please.
I
Mr,
chair
council
president,
there
were
bills
that
were
considered
and
introduced
this
session
to
that
would
have
been
that
proposed
to
have
an
elected,
Mac
Council.
Those
were
not
included
in
in
this
bill
in
in
this
and
I
know.
On
the
Senate
side,
it's
the
trans
Transportation
committee
that
had
jurisdiction
over
that.
That's
why
you're
seeing
it
in
these
Transportation
bills?
I
The
chair,
chair,
double,
has
been
an
advocate
this
session
for
that
approach.
However,
the
the
task
forces
and
commissions
that
are
being
contemplated
in
these
bills
are
merely
asking
those
those
bodies
to
then
consider
that
as
part
of
what
they
look
at
so
it
could
be
an
elected
Council.
It
could
be
a
commission
of
a
cog
or
a
council
of
governance
approach.
I
It
could
be
making
no
changes
at
all,
so
it
it's
directing
them
to
take
a
look
at
those
approaches
and
include
an
elected
Council,
but
it
doesn't
specify
what,
if
they're
angling,
for
a
specific
outcome.
Okay,.
I
All
right,
I'm
to
Public
Safety,
so
I'll
start
with
saying
that
so
both
of
the
House
and
Senate
Public
Safety
Bills
take
more
of
a
grant
funding
approach
and
I.
Don't
have
this
listed
on
the
slide,
but
the
just
for
your
awareness,
the
governor,
his
Public
Safety
budget,
did
include,
and
his
supplemental
budget
included
550
million
dollars
in
aids
to
local
governments
for
Public
Safety,
so
I
will.
Currently
we
have
not.
So
we
have
not
seen
the
the
tax
bills
in
the
House
and
Senate.
I
So
we
don't
know
if
those
aids
to
cities
and
local
governments
are
going
to
be
included,
but
in
the
public
safety
bills
they
have
not
been
included
so
far.
What
is
included
is
grant
funding.
So
in
the
Senate
side,
there's
172
million
included
for
the
office
of
Justice
programs
that
are
within
the
Department
of
Public
Safety.
I
These
are
programs
that
are
currently
in
statute.
The
city
has
applied
for
Grants
from
these
programs
in
the
past.
On
the
house
side,
there
is
some
funding
for
those,
but
there's
also
175
million
dollars
allocated
for
new
Grant
programs.
So
on
the
house
side,
there's
the
community
safety,
violent
crime,
reduction
and
clearance
support
program
that
is
funded
at
75
million
dollars,
and
then
there
is
the
100
million
dollars
for
the
community
crime
and
violence
prevention
account.
I
So
these
are
very
they're,
very
detailed
programs,
but
they
are
meant
to
be
so.
The
the
violent
crime,
reduction
and
clearance
support
program
is
in
would
be
more
funding
for
law
enforcement
case
clearance
approach,
trying
to
get
more
money
to
police
departments
to
do
crime
reduction
activities,
while
the
community
crime
and
violence
prevention
accounts
is
funding.
That
would
be
for
things
similar
that
our
Behavior
crisis
response
teams
could
potentially
be
would
be
applicable
to
that
or
our
other
crime
prevention
programs.
So
non-law
enforcement
crime
prevention
programs.
J
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I,
think
you
may
have
started
answering
my
question
because
I
was
gonna.
My
general
question
was
restrictions
on
those
funds.
Are
they?
You
know,
I
see
the
recruiting
dollars
set
aside
the
Justice
programs
grants
of
these
various
allocations,
which
ones
are
restricted
use
and
then,
which
ones
would
be
more
open
for,
like
like
you're
mentioning
behavioral
crisis
response
or
other
Alternatives
and
I?
I
I
We
would
have
to
apply
through
these
Grant
programs
in
order
to
get
them,
and
so
there
are
restrictions
in
terms
of
if
you
are
a
successful
grantee
you
would
have
to
you
know:
do
your
have
your
program
fit
within
the
criteria
you
know,
as
is
in
statute,
but
then
there
is,
you
know
it
does,
leave
some
of
that
discretion
to
DPS
to
determine,
but
as
far
as
the
questions
I
have
had
of
the
the
chairs
on
those
programs,
we
are
likely
to
some
of
the
programming
that
we
currently
do
at
the
city
would
be
a
good
candidate
for
those
Grant
programs.
I
So,
yes,
in
terms
of
like
the
grant
funding
that
would
go
to
law
enforcement
compared
to
you,
know,
violence
and
intervention
and
things
of
that
nature.
They
are
different,
Grant
programs
that
then
the
city
would
have
to
make
a
decision
about
which
to
apply
for.
I
So
there
is
also
in
both
bills:
local
government
Emergency,
Management
funding.
In
the
Senate
side
they
have
allocated
1.5
million
dollars
and
on
the
house
side
it's
two
million
dollars
that
gets
distributed
evenly
between
the
87
counties,
11
tribal
governments
and
four
cities
of
the
first
class
I'll
take
the
lower
dollar
amount.
So
if
the
1.5
million
dollars
in
the
Senate
Bill
were
to
be
law,
the
city
would
receive
approximately
fourteen
thousand
dollars.
So
slightly
more
than
that.
I
If
the
house
position
was
adopted,
so
not
nothing,
but
you
know
in
terms
of
the
scale
of
what
what
our
Emergency
Management
response
would
be
helpful,
but
not
overly
helpful.
I
There's,
also
a
law
enforcement
recruitment
being
considered
in
both
bills:
five
million
dollars
for
an
intensive,
comprehensive
peace
officer.
Education
training
account.
I
What
the
what
this
is
setting
up
is
something
similar
to
a
state
program
that
is
currently
in
law
that
the
state
patrol
uses.
The
idea
behind
this
is
to
offer
some
in
financial
incentives
for
those
who
already
have
a
two
or
four-year
college
degree
to
go
back
and
make
a
maybe
a
mid-career
change,
or
do
something
a
little
bit
different
than
maybe
they'd
anticipated
and
have
them
get
part
of
their
their
school
costs
covered
through
this,
and
then
also
contemplates
some
funding
for
retention,
so
once
they
are
hired
by
a
police
department.
I
My
one
estimate
I
have
heard
for
this
is
that
it
could
produce
roughly
100
officers,
and
this
would
be
Statewide.
So
this
would
be
something
that
the
if
a
city
so
chose
they
could,
you
know,
try
and
recruit.
One
of
these
new
officers.
I
I
will
say
that
the
Recruitment
and
Retention
issue
has
been
something
that
the
city
has
advocated
and
encouraged
the
legislature
to
comp
to
contemplate
this
session.
F
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
Mr
Hughes.
If
you
know
this,
we
already
do
this.
It's
one
of
our
paths
to
become
a
police
officer.
Can
you
so?
Can
you
tell
us
how
and
appreciate
if
you
don't
know
and
I'd
ask
somebody
in
a
different
department
how
this
would
from
what
you
just
said.
I
wonder:
is
this
something
that
that
is
about
a
new
specific
class
of
100
people
that
then
different
cities
could
try
and
choose
from?
Or
would
this
supplement
what
we
already
do
here
in
Minneapolis.
I
Mr,
chair,
councilmember
palmisano
it
would,
it
would
supplement.
So
you
know
anything
that
we're
doing.
We
could
do
in
addition
to
this.
So
if
we
so
chose
to
this
would
be
state-led
state-funded.
You
know
program
that
would
hopefully
get
those
mid-career
type
people
who
maybe
have
a
you
know
different
type
of
experience
that
could
be
applicable
to
law
enforcement,
to
try
and
make
it
reduce
the
barriers
that
they
might
face
to
make
that
change.
I
So,
for
example,
you
know
someone
who
maybe
has
been
teaching
for
10
years
decides
you
know
I,
don't
maybe
I
want
to
try
a
law
enforcement.
Maybe
and
they've
got
that
skill.
You
know
you
know
managing
people
managing
kids-
you
know
maybe
that's
applicable,
and
they
said
what,
for
you
know
some
paying
for
my
ability
to
go
and
get
this
training
or
help
me
pay
for
that
training.
I
I
would
do
law
enforcement,
but
I'm
gonna
I
decide
not
to
because
that's
too
much
of
a
barrier
for
me
I
have
a
family
I,
don't
have
the
time
this
hopefully
will.
The
idea
is
is
that
it
would
lower
that
barrier
so
that
those
folks
would
then
go
back.
Take
the
time
to
get
trained.
Do
that
intensive
training
program
funded
by
the
state
conducted
by
a
a
local
higher
ed
institution
within
the
state
and
then
have
those
candidates
that
local
law
enforcement
then
could
try
to
then
hire
and
have
come
to
their
agency.
F
I
think
I
understand,
so
we
already
do
this
today
in
Minneapolis
and
I.
Think
what
you're
saying
is.
This
would
be
a
different
program
that
people
could
also
go
into.
That
would
have
the
same
kind
of
benefits
that
we
do
in
Minneapolis,
which
is
to
pay
for
this
kind
of
training
for
mid-career,
switching
and
I
know
some
and
PD
Officers
that
have
done
that
and
exactly
that
were
a
teacher
first,
but
this
would
just
be
another
Avenue
into
that
process.
I
Mr
chair
and
councilman
yeah,
that
would
that's
my
understanding
of
it
is.
It
would
be.
You
know
a
similar
approach
to
that.
The
city
is
doing
in
a
similar
approach
that
the
state
is
already
doing
for
to
try
and
recruit
it's
it's
not
exactly
the
same,
but
it's
similar
to
a
state
patrol
program.
I
see.
I
So
the
next
provision
that
is
in
both
bills,
that
is
of
interest
to
the
city,
is
a
body
camera
policy
update
the
basics
of
this
update
to
state
law
is
that
when
there
is
a
critical
incident
there
would
be
a
five
business
day
requirement
for
the
footage,
any
body
camera
footage
of
that
incident
be
shared
with
the
deceased
person's
family
next
of
kin
in
a
14
business
day
clock
for
releasing
that
any
of
that
footage
to
the
public.
I
There
would
be
exceptions
that
a
chief
law
enforcement
officer
could
make
if
it
would
impede
an
investigation
or
or
other
good
reason
to
not
release
that
would
be
taken
into
consideration
as
well.
I
A
house
only
provision
is
a
few
Provisions
related
to
firearm
and
gun
control,
so
there
there's
Provisions
to
require
background
checks
for
firearm
purchases,
provision
to
allow
for
extreme
risk
protection
orders
and
there's
also
a
provision
in
the
bill
related
to
what
constitutes
a
fully
automatic
or
machine
gun
and
then
changes
the
the
penalties
for
that
for
the
possession
of
that
type
of
a
weapon.
I
Another
house
only
provision
is
the
law
enforcement
hate,
crew
membership
prohibition,
so
this
is
directing
the
the
statute
would
be
then
directing
the
post
board
to
make
it
so
that
law
enforcement
Personnel
could
not
be
a
member
or
associated
with
a
non-hate
group
and
I
think
that
is
all
I
have
for
Public
Safety
great.
I
D
Sharonville
and
council
members,
like
Mr,
you
just
said:
I'm
clay,
Wallwork,
seasonal,
legislative,
aide
and
I'll
just
be
going
over
some
of
the
election
updates
that
we're
seeing
in
the
legislator,
legislature
and
first
being
early
voting.
This
is
in
both
proposed
in
both
the
House
and
Senate,
and
so
this
would
for
voters.
It
would
be
very
similar
to
if
they
were
voting
on
Election
Day,
and
this
would
start
18
days
prior
to
election
day.
D
Voters
would
put
their
ballots
directly
into
the
tabulators
at
this
point
and
the
absentee
process
would
halt
for
in
person.
Another
proposal
in
both
the
House
and
Senate
is
prohibiting
election
official
intimidation.
This
would
ensure
election
officials,
administrators
election
judges
are
protected
against
intimidation
or
interference,
while
performing
their
duties
in
the
election
process.
This
also
prohibits
obstructing
election
judge
access
to
polling
places,
dissemination
of
personal
personal
information
of
election
administrators
election
judges
and
also
prohibits
tampering
with
voter
equipment.
D
Also
moving
in
both
the
House
and
Senate
is
automatic
voter
registration.
This
would
allow
individuals
to
be
registered
if
they
present
information
that
is
required
to
register
to
vote
to
certain
state
agencies
like
the
DMV
and
So.
Currently,
Minnesota
has
an
opt-in
system
where,
if
you
go
to
the
DMV,
you
can
opt
in
to
register
to
vote,
but
this
would
be
more
of
an
opt
out
system
in
both
House
and
Senate.
D
There
is
also
an
expansion
of
the
time
to
drop
off
ballots
on
Election
Day,
currently
drop-offs
by
either
a
voter
or
agent
delivery.
If
a
voter
Cannot
drop
off
their
own
ballot
is
only
until
3
pm
on
Election
Day,
and
this
would
expand
it
to
be
till
8
pm
on
Election
Day,
when
those
polls
are
usually
closed
in
the
Senate,
specifically
in
their
Finance
ominous
bill,
they
have
included
an
establishment
of
A,
ranked
Choice
voting
and
voter
engagement
advisory
task
force.
D
So
the
job
of
this
task
force
would
be
to
access
the
assess
the
adoption
of
ranked
Choice
voting
both
locally
and
Statewide.
The
house
has
a
similar
task
force
in
an
individual
build.
D
This
was
not
a
part
of
their
big
Omnibus
Bill,
and
this
task
force
would
have
their
final
report
submitted
by
2025,
with
their
assessment
of
ranked
Choice
voting,
also
included
in
both
House
and
Senate
Omnibus
bills
or
Provisions
about
trainee,
election
judges,
and
so
this
provision
would
close
a
gap
currently
in
statute
by
allowing
individuals
who
have
graduated
high
school,
but
are
not
yet
18
years
old
to
still
participate
in
the
election
process
under
a
trainee
election
in
current
statute
once
you've
graduated
high
school,
you
are
no
longer
eligible
to
be
a
student
election
judge
and
you
cannot
be
a
regular
election
judge
until
you're
18.,
so
it
just
closes
that
Gap
and
we
did
have
someone
from
the
city
testify
in
support
of
that
provision
in
both
House
and
Senate.
D
There
are
also
Provisions
that
would
require
post-secondary
institutions
to
submit
a
student
housing
list
if
students
enrolled
accept
State
financial
aid.
This
is
something
that
council
member
wansley
testified
in
support
of,
and
so
institutions
would
submit
housing
lists
of
students
who
live
in
the
institutions,
housing
or
in
the
city
or
cities
that
the
campus
is
situated
in
if
they
have
that
information
available,
and
so
the
idea
would
be
to
help
students
register
to
vote.
D
So
any
local
unit
of
government
that
has
implemented
ranked
Choice
voting
would
qualify,
and
this
can
be
used
for
public
education
campaign
on
the
use
of
ranked
Choice
voting,
and
so
the
requirements
of
this
grant
would
be
to
provide
information
city-wide,
but
must
focus
on
communities
with
language
barriers,
new
voters
or
low
voter
participation
rates.
D
And
then
the
last
Grant
is
Grants
to
improve
polling
place,
access
for
individuals
with
disabilities,
and
so
this
would
be
a
one-time
appropriation
of
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
this
money
could
go
towards
purchasing
equipment
or
for
making
Capital
Improvements
on
publicly
owned
facilities
to
again
improve
that
access
for
individuals
who
are
disabled,
and
that
is
all
I
have
I,
can
answer
any
questions.
Otherwise,
I'll
turn
it
back
to
director
Topeka.
E
All
right
well,
thank
you
to
the
igr
team
for
their
presentations.
You
can
see
everyone
is
tracking
a
lot
of
different
information
and
so
just
really
appreciative
for
the
work
that
they're
doing
to
represent
the
city
over
at
the
Capitol,
so
I'm
just
going
to
wrap
up
with
a
few
next
steps
of
what
to
expect
over
the
next
six
weeks.
E
So,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning
at
the
legislature
is
returning
for
break
today
in
the
Senate
finance
and
house,
Ways
and
Means
committees
will
be
meeting
to
pass
these
Omnibus
budget
bills
that
we
were
just
talking
about
to
the
floor,
and
then
the
House
and
Senate
will
need
to
pass
them
on
the
floor
and
then
bring
the
bills
together
to
meet
in
conference
committee.
So
all
of
that's
going
to
take
a
few
weeks,
so
we
do
expect
conference
committees
to
start
meeting
in
late
April
or
early
May.
E
The
last
day
of
session
is
May
22nd,
so
that
is
the
the
day
that
they'll
need
to
complete
their
work
and
so
I
think
it's
going
to
maybe
feel
to
us
slightly
slower
over
the
next
few
weeks,
just
because
there
aren't,
as
many
committees
meeting
and
lot
of
work
is
going
to
be
being
done
on
the
floors
and
then
it'll
be
really
fast
and
furious.
For
a
few
weeks
there,
in
late
April
and
early
may,
as
conference
committees
are
meeting
you'll
notice,
we
did
not
provide
any
updates
on
the
tax
bills
or
capital
investment
bills.
E
Today,
those
Bill
we
have
not
yet
seen
Omnibus
tax
bills.
There
was
a
capital
investment
bill
that
passed
on
the
house
floor
that
included
the
Central
City
stormwater
tunnel
did
not
pass
on
the
senate
floor,
so
we're
still
kind
of
waiting
to
see
what
the
path
is
going
to
be
for
capital
investment
over
these
next
six
weeks
of
session.
So
that
is.
That
concludes
our
update
for
today
and
happy
to
take
any
final
questions.
Otherwise
we
will
be
back
in
May
with
with
another
update
for
all
of
you.
