A
This
morning
we
have
two
resolutions
to
present
which
we
will
do
before
taking
up
our
regular
order
of
business
in
the
first
resolution
will
be
presented
by
council
members,
wansley
and
Chavez,
and
it
is
a
resolution
honoring
victims
of
police
brutality
and
council
members.
Wansley
and
Chavez
will
present
that
resolution
and.
B
Then,
thank
you.
Council
president
I'd
also
like
to
invite
council
members,
Jeremiah
Ellison,
council
member
Aisha,
Chuck
Tai
to
also
and
council
member
Payne,
to
join,
to
read
the
resolution
with
me.
B
Also
I
would
like
to
invite
toshira
and
Jerome.
We
have
Representatives
here
who
serve
families,
who've
been
impacted
by
police
brutality,
so
I
would
like
to
invite
you
to
come
up
and
stand
alongside
us.
B
Thank
you
so
much
toshira
for
joining
us
and
also
I
just
want
to
highlight
you
know
I
wanna
say
thank
you
to
the
families
who
also
aren't
here
with
us
today,
as
we
honor
the
Life
of
George
Floyd
and
the
third
anniversary
of
his
murder,
By
Minneapolis
Police,
and
in
light
of
that,
knowing
that
we
have
such
a
extensive
dark
history,
around
police
brutality
in
our
city
and
the
list
of
impacted
families
is
just
far
too
long.
B
So
I
just
want
to
reaffirm
my
commitment
to
our
community
to
our
families.
Who've
been
impacted
by
this
and
the
fights
for
our
comprehensive
public
safety
system
that
does
not
create
victims
and
survivors
and
making
sure
that
you
all
receive
the
highest
quality
of
Public
Services
that
goes
beyond
policing.
B
I
also
want
to
highlight,
you
know.
All
of
us.
Take
our
position
seriously.
Is
those
who
are
standing
here
with
our
impacted
families
and
make
sure
you
continue
to
hold
our
feet
to
the
fire
about
building
accountable
public
safety
system,
because
it
is
the
lack
of
political
will
that
got
us
to
this
moment
to
the
moment
where
George
Floyd
was
lynched
in
front
of
the
world,
and
so
many
other
family
members
who
did
not
receive
Justice
in
the
traditional
sense.
So
I
just
want
to
publicly
make
that
declaration.
B
Because
far
too
long
in
Minneapolis,
we
make
symbolic
gestures
about
what
needs
to
happen
around
policing
and
there's
no
follow-through
on
the
action
piece.
So
in
light
of
that,
I
asked
my
fellow
council
members
who
read
the
resolution.
If
you
could
take
two
sentences,
each.
That
would
be
great,
but
the
title
of
the
resolution
is
honoring:
victims
of
police
brutality
and
their
families
and
communities.
B
Three
years
after
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
by
Minneapolis
police
officer,
Derek
Chavez,
whereas
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
brought
International
attention
to
the
practices
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
But
George
Floyd
was
not
the
first
person
treated
with
violence
or
killed
by
the
Minneapolis
Police.
D
Whereas
dozens
of
residents
have
sued
the
city
for
alleged
police
misconduct
and
whereas
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
paid
millions
of
dollars
to
settle
lawsuits
brought
by
individuals
against
Minneapolis
police
officers
and
whereas
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
found
probable
cause
at
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
engages
in
a
pattern
or
practice
of
discriminatory
race-based
policing,
Indianapolis
police
officers
use
higher
rates
of
more
severe
Force
against
black
individuals
compared
to
White
individuals.
In
similar
circumstances,.
E
And
whereas
the
mdhr
found
that,
in
a
statistically
representative
sample
of
use
of
force
files
from
January
1st
2010
to
December
31st
2020
Minneapolis
police
officers
used
unnecessary
and
inappropriate
levels
of
force
in
28.6
percent
of
incidents
in
which
they
recorded
using
force
and
in
76.5
percent
of
incidents
in
which
another
Minneapolis
Police
Officer,
inappropriately
used
Force.
Another
officer
should
have
but
failed
to
intervene.
B
Some
of
the
physical,
emotional
and
psychological
trauma
that
individuals
may
sustain
from
encounters
with
police
may
not
be
visually
evident,
but
can
have
long-standing
impacts.
Nonetheless,
and
whereas
some
individuals
do
not
survive
encounters
with
police
and
whereas
the
lives
lost
and
the
trauma
and
violence
experienced
by
community
members
due
to
encounters
with
police
are
costly
consequences
of
systemic
racism
and
policing
in
this
country
and
whereas
victims
of
police
brutality
are
fathers,
mothers,
children,
siblings,
neighbors
and
Friends
students,
workers,
artists,
athletes
and
community
community
leaders
and
some
of
our
fellow
residents
and.
C
Whereas
police
brutality
can
forever
change
the
lives
of
not
only
only
the
victim
but
also
their
family
and
community,
and
whereas
police
brutality
and
violence
can
have
negative,
can
negatively
impact
residents,
families
and
diverse
communities
across
Minneapolis.
And
whereas
all
residents
deserve
to
feel
safe
in
Minneapolis,
including
safe
from
misconduct
or
excessive
force
by
police
officers
and.
E
And
whereas
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
have
entered
into
a
settlement
agreement
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
and
have
agreed
to
implement
sufficient
processes
to
identify
and
intervene
early
to
prevent
police
misconduct
and
brutality
from
occurring.
And
whereas
residents
play
a
vital
role
in
holding
the
city
accountable
to
following
through
on
the
Minneapolis,
the
city
of
minneapolis's
promises
to
fulfill
the
requirements
of
the
settlement
agreement
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights,
which
are
designed
to
prevent
race-based,
discriminatory
policing
and
excessive
uses
of
force.
B
G
After
our
loved
ones
are
stolen,
then
we
have
to
fight
the
truth
of
what
really
happened
to
our
loved
one
and
I'm
very
grateful,
because
this
showed
acknowledgment
today
with
George
Floyd,
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
the
world
had
no
choice
but
to
acknowledge
that
murder
of
that
black
man,
but
with
so
many
more
of
us
communities,
United
against
police
brutality,
has
documented,
where
there's
been
almost
500
bodies
at
the
hands
of
law
enforcement.
Here
in
the
state
of
Minnesota,
since
the
year,
2000.
G
G
The
reason
the
reason
that
I
founded
family
support
in
families
against
police
violence
as
a
support
group,
was
to
give
direct
support
to
families
that
do
not
have
support
when
their
loved
ones
are
stolen
at
the
hands
of
law
enforcement
where
it.
If
your
loved
one
is
stolen
by
a
regular
civilian
here
in
Minnesota,
there's
support,
but
if
your
loved
one
is
killed
by
law
enforcement,
your
loved
one
is
not
assumed
to
be
a
victim
and,
as
we've
seen
with
George
Floyd,
philando
Castile
and
many
others
that
they
clearly
were
victims.
G
If
there's
almost
500
bodies
at
the
hands
of
law
enforcement,
there
is
co-workers
children,
wives,
mothers
that
are
impacted
and
hurting
by
this.
What
we
see
with
George
Floyd,
it's
not
the
result.
The
uprise
that
we've
seen
was
not
the
result
of
only
one
life.
It
was
many
more
lives
that
came
before
him
and
after
him
that
have
been
failed
to
be
acknowledged
and
it's
time,
but
not
only
the
acknowledgment.
Now,
it's
time
to
work
together
to
figure
out
how
will
we
build
a
relationship
with
the
impacted
Community?
G
G
People
are
still
being
killed
at
the
hands
of
law
enforcement,
so
the
last
thing
I
want
to
say,
because
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
time
is
that
I
started
this
support
group,
but
it
turned
into
a
non-profit
organization
to
help
people
with
funeral
costs
to
help
people
with
therapy
costs
to
help
people
with
a
place
to
come
a
safe
place
to
come,
where
they
could
tell
their
reality
and
their
truth
without
having
the
backlash
and
we
work
really
hard.
G
But
the
main
point
was
to
be
the
support
that
I
didn't
have
when
Justin
was
stolen
away
from
me
and
my
son,
when
they
sat
outside
my
home
and
followed
me
and
I
seen
a
2009
lynching,
his
skull
was
cracked
in
half.
He
had
dog
bites
on
his
body,
he
was
he
was
lynched
in
this
state,
and
these
are
modern
day
lynchings.
G
It
is
not
about
being
against
police,
it
is
not
about
hating
police,
it
is
about,
right
is
right
and
wrong
is
wrong.
We
are
aware
that
there
are
some
good
officers
out
there
on
the
street
and
I
do
believe
that
in
my
heart,
but
we
must
all
be
held
accountable,
it's
time
for
us
to
come
together
as
a
people
as
human
beings
to
do
right
by
each
other,
because
it
is
only
what
we
do
for
one
another,
that's
going
to
last
in
the
end.
A
Thank
you,
colleagues
for
presenting
that
resolution
and
I
do
want
to
just
offer
my
sincere
condolences
once
again
to
you
Tashara,
and
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
are
doing.
Supporting
families
who
have
experienced
these
losses
as
a
result
of
police
violence.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
before
we
move
to
the
next
honorary
resolution.
A
A
I
live
two
blocks
away
from
38th
and
Chicago
personally,
and
as
a
20-year
20-plus
year
resident
of
that
Community
I've
been
working
all
those
years
to
really
try
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
at
38th
in
Chicago
long
before
the
murder
of
George
Floyd,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
towards
Solutions
rooted
in
healing
in
Community,
Development
and
I'm,
confident
that
together
we
can
get
to
a
permanent
Memorial
process
that
centers
community
and
healing
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
thank
some
of
the
people
that
are
doing
the
hard
work
every
day
at
George,
Floyd
Square
see
you
I
stand
with
you
and
while
I
know,
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list.
A
I
want
to
just
shout
out
a
few
people,
particularly
ethropic
Burnett,
who
has
lived
with
Compassion,
Care
and
determination
at
George,
Floyd
square
and
recently
was
celebrated
with
the
well-deserved
North
Star
Award
I
want
to
thank
our
community
members,
healers
caretakers
preservationists
and
groups
like
The,
George,
Floyd,
Global,
Memorial
and
I,
see
Janelle
Austin
here
today
and
thank
you.
I
also
heard
your
comments
on
NPR
this
morning.
A
So
thank
you
for
continuing
to
stand
in
this
space
and
uplift
this
community
in
the
ways
that
you
do
and
Preserve
the
the
images
the
offerings,
the
artwork,
the
the
life
that
people
are
bringing
to
the
square
I'm
going
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
our
Public
Work
Works
crew
and
staff,
who
are
working
on
the
ground
and
really
leading
these
difficult
processes
to
create
projects
that
include
really
contentious.
Community
conversations
and
engagement
takes
all
of
us
to
come
together
and
and
do
this
work.
A
So
with
that
in
mind,
I
wanna
us
to
take
a
moment
of
silence
and
that
moment
of
silence.
I'm
gonna
ask
the
clerks
to
help
me
with
the
timing,
a
nine
minute
and
29
second
moment
of
silence.
A
A
A
H
H
A
A
Thank
you,
everyone,
those
that
day,
May
25th
2020,
those
9
minutes
and
29
seconds,
were
some
of
the
most
difficult
nine
minutes
in
my
entire
life,
and
so
next
I.
The
chair
will
recognize
council
member
wansley
as
we
prepare
to
present
the
next
resolution.
B
B
Thank
you
Janelle.
Thank
you
for
everything
you
do
in
the
Square
on
behalf
of
George
Floyd's
family,
for
keeping
and
maintaining
the
sacredness
of
that
space,
where
we
witness
George
Floyd,
be
killed
for
nine
minutes
and
20
yeah.
So
I
would
like
to
present
you
with
this
resolution
before
we
transition
to
the
next,
because
you
deserve
that
recognition
too.
B
B
Those
who
aren't
aware
Janelle
Austin
is
one
of
the
caretakers
of
George
Floyd
Square
in
the
memorial
and
just
wanting
to
present
you
also
with
this
resolution
and
allow
you
have
the
floor
to
share
any
comments
that
you
think
this
body.
Our
city
should
hear
at
the
moment,
but
I
just
wanted
to
also
take
the
opportunity
to
honor
the
work
that
you've
done
in
continuing
the
fight
for
justice,
not
just
for
George
Floyd,
but
for
so
many
who
also
haven't
been
recognized
in
the
traditional
Justice
way
so
yeah.
H
H
H
H
H
A
A
Yeah,
our
next
resolution
is
declaring
June,
2023,
lesbian,
gay
trans,
bisexual
transgender,
queer,
two-spirit,
intersex
and
asexual
pride
month
and
I
was
going
to
invite
all
the
members
of
soji
to
come
up
and
I
see
you
all
are
here.
So
thank
you.
Maybe
we
can
come.
Some
can
come
on
this
other
side
as
well.
D
So
many
welcoming
organizations
and
places
of
worship,
businesses,
neighborhoods
schools,
events
and
more
and
whereas
Minneapolis
has
benefited
from
the
service
of
towns
of
numerous
lgbtq
two-spirit
Sia
elected
officials
on
the
city,
council
and
park
and
recreational
board
and
the
board
of
estimate
Taxation
and
then
both
the
Minnesota,
House
and
Senate,
as
well
as
countless
appointed
officials
in
the
city,
employees
and
whereas
Minneapolis
annually
plays
host
to
the
Twin
Cities
lgbtq
Pride
Celebration
and
the
city's
largest
outdoor
Festival,
in
which
Loring
Park
is
turned
into
a
forum
for
celebrating
lgbtq
plus
pride
and
those
including
allies
who
work
for
it.
D
And
whereas
the
United
United
States
Senate,
is
review.
Reviewing
the
equality
act,
which
would
increase
protections
related
to
sexual
orientation
and
gender
identity
to
the
City
of
Minneapolis
supporting
its
Passage.
Whereas
in
December
2022
mayor
Jacob,
Frye
signed
an
executive
order
which
prohibits
All,
City
departments
and
City
staff
from
taking
any
enforcement
action
against
providers
or
individuals
exercising
their
right
to
gender
reforming
care
in
Minneapolis.
The
order.
D
The
order
also
affirms
the
rights
to
minors
living
apart
from
their
parents
to
make
their
own
medical
decisions
regarding
gender,
affirming
Health
Care,
whereas
in
2019
the
city
banned
conversion
therapy
for
minors,
and
earlier
this
year,
Governor
Tim
wall
signed
legislation
to
enshrine
the
right
to
gender,
affirming
care
into
law
and
other
bans
and
another
ban
of
conversion
therapy.
A
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolve
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
do
hereby
declare
June
as
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual
transgender,
queer,
two-spirit,
intersex
and
asexual
pride
month
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
and
that
residents
and
visitors
are
encouraged
to
participate
in
the
numerous
activities
celebrating
LGBT
qia
Plus
pride
month
in
the
city
and
in
the
ongoing
work
leading
Minnesota
towards
full
lgbtq
2
s.
I
a
equality.
I
A
For
people
with
a
womb
seeking
Reproductive
Rights
Health
Care,
this
is
a
city
that
welcomes
and.
D
I
did
want
to
take
this
moment
to
call
On
Target
Corporation
to
do
better.
They
do
have
headquarters
here
in
Minneapolis
and
they
recently
are
taking
away
some
pride
merchandise
from
their
stores.
Across.
The
Nation
and
I
call
on
all
corporations
in
our
country
that
have
been
using
rainbow
capitalism
to
make
a
profit
of
our
community
and
now,
when
their
profits
are
in
danger,
they're
taking
away
our
own
Pride
merchandise,
I
think
that
is
unacceptable.
I
So
we
are
all
invited
to
join.
It
will
be
noon
on
the
Templar
training
center
in
the
public
service
building
you'll
hear
more,
there
will
be
more
information,
but
it's
an
ongoing
conversation.
Things
are
just
beginning
to
be
learned
about,
and
resources
are
beginning
to
be
developed
and
we
hope
you'll
join.
A
A
F
You
might
remember
that
I
think
a
cycle
ago
brought
forward
a
legislative
directed
directed
towards
the
clerks
and
the

around
ftes
and
us
getting
some
information
and
a
little
bit
more
transparency,
and,
through
some
conversation
with
a
few
of
my
colleagues,
including
councilman,
murkowski
and
wansley
I,
think
we
found
some
ways
to
strengthen
that
ask,

so
we
are
here
to
kind
of
resubmit,
the
legislative
directive
with
a
few
additions,
a
few
more
specifics,
and
and
that's
that's
all
so
it
might
look
really
familiar,
but
there's
a
few
changes
and
but
it
it.

The
spirit
of

is
still
the
same.
We're
looking
for
this,
this

on
how
we're
going
about

moving
forward
on
new

A
L
Morning,
Madam
president
members
of
the
council,
I'll
need
to
need
to
lifter
my
report
for
the
funeral
of
council
member
Pat
Scott,
who
was
the
city
council
member
who
had
this
job
immediately
before
me.
She
passed
away
in
just
a
week
or
so
ago,
and
her
funeral
is
at
St
Mark's
Cathedral
this
morning
and
I
just
feel
it's
very
important
for
the
city
to
show
up
for
a
former
council
member
and
wanted
to
mention
it
here
as
well,
and
thank
you

your
patience

way.

councilmember

Thank.
D
You
council,
president
Jenkins
I,
want
to
bring
awareness
to
the
Lively
discussion
we
had
in
the
best
committee.
I
know
that
staff
had
concerns
with
the
Amendments
that
councilman
Chuck,
Tai
and
I
brought
forward
that
prioritized
more
units
in
the
scoring
card
for
30
Ami,
for
folks
that
use
vouchers
and
for
folks
that
are
homeless,
I
am
bringing
two
motions
forward
today.
That
I
would
like
to
move
together
as
one
package.
D
The
first
is
to
revert
back
to
staff
recommendations,
but
still
including
youth
in
the
Equitable
criteria
and
the
second
legislative
directive
that
would
conduct
a
comparison
of
what
the
changes
that
the
biz
committee,
the
majority
of
this
committee,
approved
last
week,
and
what
it
would
have
looked
like
with
this
new
scoring
criteria
with
including
scorecards
like
a
triple
five
increase
in
preservation.
D
Last
year,
only
28
percent
of
our
affordable
housing
units
were
four
units
of
30
percent
of
Ami
or
below,
and
that
number
has
only
decreased
with
ones
that
actually
officially
closed.
I
still
stand
with
the
work
that
the
biz
committee
moved
forward
with,
but
I
am
changing
course
today
to
honor
the
work
that
staff
did,
which
I
do
appreciate
when
you
represent
a
big
community
that
is
unhoused
that
lives
below
the
poverty
line
is
struggling
with
housing.
You
know
that
you
can't
just
rubber
stamp
everything
that
comes
before
you
in
this
body.
D
D
So
with
that
I'll
move
approval
of
the
two
limits
that
I
have.
If
there's
questions
I'm
happy
to
answer
them,
I
do
want
to
say,
though,
that
I
think
that
this
body
and
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
to
work
together
to
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do,
whether
it's
through
affordable
housing,
trust
fund,
to
figure
out
the
mechanisms
that
we're
going
to
do
to
increase
our
affordable
housing
Supply
and
when
I
say,
affordable
housing
I
mean
for
those
units
of
30,
Ami
or
below.
A
Thank
you,
councilman
Chavez,
the
chair
will
recognized
councilmember
Goodman,
I'm,
sorry,
councilmember,
Ellison,
I.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
wanted
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilmember
Chavez.
You
know,
I
was
a
supporter
of
the
initial
Amendment
and
I
think
that
it
through
some
discussion
it.
It
takes
a
lot
of
leadership.
F
It
takes
a
lot
of
courage
to
both
assert
the
values
that
councilmember
Chavez
was
asserting
in
in
that
meeting
and
as
a
council
member,
but
also
to
recognize
when
you're
dealing
with
a
highly
technical
issue,
and
you
need
just
a
little
bit
more
information
to
proceed
forward
in
the
way
that
you
want
and
to
make
sure
that
you're
getting
the
outcomes
that
you
want
and
I
think
that's
what
council,
member
Chavez
and
Chuck
and
I
are
doing
here,
and
so
just
wanted
to
to
name
that
and
appreciate
the
the
the
the
conversation
that
we've
had
and
and
I'll
be
supporting
this
motion
today.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
also
support
the
amendment
the
council
member
Chavez
has
brought
forward
this
morning,
but
I
want
to
first
start
by
thanking
staff
and
all
of
the
folks
in
the
community
that
are
actually
doing
this
work
on
a
daily
basis
to
build
this
very
important
resource
for
our
residents,
which
is
affordable
housing.
One
of
the
main
changes
staff
made
in
the
staff
recommendation
was
to
offer
points
for
30
units
and
then
to
offer
more
points
for
more
30
units.
L
So
it's
important
to
know
that
this
change
was
made
based
on
the
staff
recommendation
and
I'm,
not
sure
that
that
was
explained
well
enough
in
the
presentation
which
is
potentially
what
caused
this
ripple
effect
of
making
a
change
that
would
have
added
points
for
30
units
without
asking
for
more
30
units.
That's
the
place
we're
at
right
now,
that
is
what
council
member
Chavez
is
supporting
today.
The
second
point
I
want
to
make
is
adding
youth
to
the
list
for
threshold
criteria.
L
I,
believe
is
a
really
good
change,
because
I
spent
a
good
part
of
my
career
working
at
on
youth
link,
housing
for
40,
homeless,
Youth,
and
this
is
a
population
that
is
often
left
out
of
the
prioritization
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
rise
up
that
population,
because
if
we
can
start
early
housing
young
people,
hopefully
they
will
have
a
life
of
housing,
not
a
life
of
homelessness.
So
I
think
that's
a
very
good
change
and
I'm
supportive
of
It.
L
Ultimately,
in
the
end,
we
can
rank
them
both
ways
and
I
think
that
the
truth
will
come
out.
But
one
thing
to
be
aware
of
is
that
in
this
very
complicated
funding
strategy,
some
funds
can
only
be
used
for
some
uses
and
some
funds
for
other
uses.
So
a
big
chunk
of
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
is
Community.
Development
brought
black
grant
money
that
can
only
be
spent
on
preservation.
L
So
we
have
a
built-in
set-aside
essentially
for
preservation
as
a
result
of
the
funding
source
and
so
I
think
it's
okay
to
analyze,
adding
some
points
for
that.
But
the
fact
that
you
can't
use
that
money
for
new
construction.
Basically
drives
us
funding
source
for
preservation,
including
projects
like
Heritage,
Park
and
little
Earth,
which
are
in
need
of
preservation
funding
in
this
round
as
almost
an
immediate
situation.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
think
the
staff
have
done
an
incredible
job.
L
I
appreciate
the
exercise
everyone's
gone
through
to
understand
that
the
scoring
is
a
statement
of
our
values.
It's
also
a
statement
of
what
we're
asking
developers
to
do
and
the
big
change
made
made
by
staff
in
this
cycle.
Was
you
get
extra
points?
If
you
build
extra
30
units,
you
don't
just
get
points
for
building
30
units
anymore.
That's
the
Baseline!
Thank
you.
M
You,
madam
president,
I
too,
will
vote
for
this
and
councilmember
Chavez.
Thank
you
for
this
extra
transparency
and
recognizing
our
staff
involvement,
as
well
as
the
involvement
of
the
developers
and
other
government
agencies.
I
see
director
Brennan
there
and
your
staff
has
done
a
great
job,
pushing
us
along,
and
we
look
forward
to
more
information.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
faith
community
are
here
today.
We
really
appreciate
all
you're
doing
and
bear
wish
with
us
on
the
be
patient.
You
know
this
is
a
great
idea.
M
We
just
have
to
go
through
a
little
bit.
More
it'll
still
be
a
great
idea
at
the
end
of
the
day.
So
thank
you
for
coming
down
today
and
last
of
all
thank
you.
Councilmember
Goodman,
your
your
wisdom
and
guiding
us
through
this
process.
You
do
a
great
job
as
chair
of
that
committee,
so
thank
you.

There
are
13
eyes.
A
The
next
item
is
item
number
12.
and
it
is
a
I
believe.
L
L
Is
the
law
long
awaited
and
much
needed
ability
for
the
city
city
to
fulfill
its
obligation
to
eliminate
the
conflicts
between
our
current
2040
plan,
zoning
code
and
comp
plan?
I,
never
thought
I
would
see
the
day
where
I
would
have
my
name
on
as
an
author
for
anything
associated
with
2040.
So
I
first
want
to
thank
our
staff
for
doing
incredible
work,
I
believe
in
you
and
the
work
that
you've
done
so
much
so
that
I
put
my
name
on
this
plan.
L
Despite
the
level
of
misinformation
that
has
been
out
there
with
regard
to
what
the
land
use
rezoning
study
is
doing.
At
this
moment
it
has
been
a
terrible
stressor
for
the
planning,
staff
and
and
system
to
have
so
many
changes
have
to
come
through
because
we
were
not
able
to
get
this
portion
of
the
plan
done
and
I'm
very
happy
we're
at
a
point
now,
where
we're
just
simply
focusing
on
what
uses
are
allowed
within
each
of
the
different
categories.
Everybody
did
not
get
what
they
want.
I
would
have
liked
to
make
change.
L
Two
and
I
will
have
to
get
in
line
with
everyone
else
who
would
like
to
make
account
plan
change,
but
we
are
getting
a
big
chunk
of
work
done,
hopefully
taking
some
pressure
off
of
our
staff
and
the
planning
divisions.
You
know
the
board
of
adjustment,
the
Planning
Commission
and
ultimately,
the
committee
that
half
of
us
serve
on,
so
we
won't
see
as
many
appeals,
so
we're
I'm
going
to
move
this
forward.
L
But
I
do
want
to
note
that
council
member
Allison,
who
has
done
a
massive
amount
of
work
on
the
environmental
justice
portions
of
this
plan
and
he's
been
very
engaged
in
this
for
a
long
period
of
time.
As
a
small
amendment
to
section
525.420,
Section
3,
you
all
have
it
in
front
of
you:
it
adds
the
words
a
principal
electricity
generated,
use
or
generation
use.
I,
don't
know
if
you
do
want
to
speak
to
this,
sir
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
the
amendment
and
also
then
move
the
main
motion
on
item
number
12..
L
F
Well,
I'll,
second,
that
if
it
needs
a
second
and
thank
you,
councilmember,
Goodman
and
and
yeah
it's
a
small
change.
I
want
to
thank
again
staff
for
really
diving
deep.
You
know
these
can
be
very
technical
things.
F
You
know
you
can
you
can
try
to
make
a
change
and
and
not
understand
that
the
change
that
you're
making,
especially
with
something
that
comes
around
every
10
years
or
so,
and
so
you
know,
I-
really
felt
passionate
about
diving
into
this
environmental
justice
work
and
figuring
out
where
it
was
appropriate
in
the
land
use
for
zoning
study
to
to
to
make
those
changes.
I
had
a
lot
of
help
from
community
members.
Some
of
them
are
here:
I
had
a
lot
of
support
from
staff.
F
Helping
me
understand
the
documents,
so
thank
you
to
staff.
Thank
you
to
community
members
who
helped
educate
me
on
this
and
I'm
happy
to
make
this
change
and-
and
that's
all
so
thanks.
O
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
and
thanks
good
chair
Goodman
for
for
that
I
do
have
a
question.
I
think
Steph
did
everything
they
can
to
educate
me
and
explain
this
process,
and
also
some
of
my
residents.
Ventura
Village
had
great
ideas.
They
had
in
mind
that
I
talked
to
the
staff
about
and
I
know,
I'm,
not
bringing
any
amendment
to
anything
like
that.
O
But
I
do
want
to
ask
if
the
change
that
are
taking
place
today,
there
will
be
opportunity
for
class
members
or
even
a
residents
for
bringing
ideas
to
to
edit
in
the
future
or
to
add
what
goes
in
there
or
whatnot
or
is
this
is
just
a
if
you
can
answer.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
plan
is
a
living
breathing
document,
and
so
we
will
always
be
looking
at
what
kinds
of
technical
mistakes
there
might
have
been.
What
kinds
of
policy
mistakes
there
might
have
been.
Just
in
today's
agenda,
we
already
approved
two
things
that
we're
looking
at
as
it
pertains
to
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
changes,
so
it's
an
it's
an
iterative
document
and
so
I
mean
we're
not
looking
to
like
add
20
changes
to
it
in
the
next
six
months.
L
We
kind
of
want
to
see
how
it
plays
out,
but
of
course
the
council
is
always
open
and
encouraged
to
look
at
changes.
We've
looked
at
you
know,
from
serving
on
the
committee.
We've
determined
that
alleys
that
are
properties
that
don't
have
alleys
might
be
too
close
to
other
properties,
and
so
there
could
be
a
problem
with
that.
We'll
look
at
that.
So
staff
is
keeping
a
long
list
of
potential
changes,
and
this
is
not
the
final
say.

We
are

one
item
forward.
It's
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
settlement
agreement,
fiscal
analysis
that
has
two
items:
a
legislative
director
requesting
a
comprehensive
fiscal
analysis
with
a
potential
cost
impacts
of
the
mdhr
settlement
agreement
and
a
request,
the
city
auditor,
to
conduct
an
analysis
of
the
operating
and
fiscal
impacts
that
can
be
expected
as
a
result
of
the
mdhr
settlement
agreement.
I
move
for
approval.

Are
that
carries
a

I
do
want
to
thank
Council
vice
president
and
council
member
Chavez
for
helping
me
out
while
I
attended
to
my
biology,
and
our
next
committee
report
is
the
policy
government
oversight
committee
and
it
will
be
presented
by
the
chair,
councilmember
Ellison.
F
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
is
bringing
forward
21
items
for
approval.
One
is
a
gift
acceptance
for
the
Minnesota
section
of
the
American
Water
Works
Association
of
registration,
travel
and
lodging
expenses.
Two
is
gift
acceptance
from
the
Minnesota
State
Association
of
Narcotics
investigators
of
registration
and
lodging
expenses.
Three
is
a
gift
acceptance
from
the
Bureau
of
Criminal
apprehension
of
travel
expenses.
Four
is
a
gift
acceptance
from
the
National
Association
of

Health
officials
of

diem

F
Real
quick
I
do
want
to
say
that
if
folks
are
noticing
a
considerable
spike
in
gift
acceptances
and
the
clerks
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
but
I
believe
it's
because
we're
trying
to
consolidate
those
through
one
committee,
I
think
before
you
would
get
just
a
few
in
every
committee,
so
it
never
really
seemed
like
there
were
that
many.
But
that's
the
explanation
of
that.
We're
not
all
of
a
sudden
getting
a
huge
surge
in
gift.
Acceptances
overall
is
my
understanding.
All
right,

an
update
on,
and
it
was
very
informative
and
good
news.
So
with
that
I
will
move
approval
of
all
these
items.
A
A
Seeing
none
I
will
just
note
on
item

really
to

I
think
this
is
an
important
work
for
the
city
to
be
engaged
in,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
see
no
further
comments.
I
will
ask
the

to
call
the
wrong.

B
Thank
you,

I
know
often
we
don't
do
acknowledgment
of
all
of
the
great
staff
that
who
support
or
who
supports
Us
in
doing
this
legislative
work
and
serving
the
the
residents.
B
You
know
that
in
our
respective
words
and
across
the
city,
but
I
really
just
want
to
take
our
opportunity
to
acknowledge
the
labor
and
and
labor
of
love
and
support
that
both
council
member
Chavez
staff,
as
well
as
my
own
staff,
poured
into
making
sure
that
we
brought
forward
this
very
timely,
honorary
resolution
around
honoring,
the
victims
of
police
brutality
and
also
supporting
the
families
who
came
and
received
them.
B
I'm,
sorry
that
we
missed
it,
but
several
of
George
Floyd's
relatives
also
came
a
couple
of
minutes
after
we
wrapped
up
and
they
relayed
their
gratitude
for
this
body.
Acknowledging
those
harms
as
what
was
Echo

I'm.
So
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
our
staff,
who
also
poured
a
lot
of
work
into
making
sure
this
resolution
came
forward
and
for
our
families
to
join
us
this
morning
to
receive
that
resolution.
B
A
Thank
you,
councilmember

I
wholeheartedly
agree
and
would
offer
my
thanks
and
gratitude
to
all
of
the
staff,
including
my
own,
who
who
worked
diligently
on
the
second
resolution
that
we
presented
today,

stand
in

do
this
work
each

every
day

support
the
constituents
and
residents
of
the
City

Vice
president
Paul
massano
aye,
president
Jenkins
hi.
There
are
12
eyes.
A
That
carries
those
resolutions
have
been
adopted.
The
next
order
of
business
is
a
motion
under
a
new
business
today
and
I
will
recognize
council
member
Chuck
Tai
to
introduce
her
staff
directive
relating
to
the
rent
stabilization
policy.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
This
motion
before
you
today
is
regarding
rent
stabilization
policy.
Rent
stabilization
is
an
issue
that
City
policy
makers
have
been
working
on
for
years.
This
is
truly
a
long
time
coming
in
October
2019,
the
city
council
voted
to
commission
an
economic
impact
analysis
evaluating
rent
stabilization
as
a
component
of
housing
policy
that
eventually
produced
what
we
now
know.
As
the
cura
study
on
run
stabilization,
which
was
presented
to
the
council
in
a
study
session
in
February
of
2021.
E
in
August
2021,
the
council
and
mayor
approved
a
rent
stabilization
Charter
amendment
in
the
form
of
ballot
question
three
to
put
on
the
ballot
for
voter
consideration.
The
voters
approved
this
Charter
amendment
in
November
of
2021,
following
that
in
April
2022,
this
body
created
the
rent
stabilization
work
group,
a
body
of
25
members
to
deliberate
on
this
issue
and
provide
the
council
with
recommendations
of
a
rent,
stabilization
policy
framework.
E
Its
members
were
approved
at
the
end
of
July
and
included
important
stakeholders
like
renters
landlords,
affordable
housing
providers,
developers
and
financial
interests.
The
work
group
met
from
September
through
December
of
last
year
and
at
the
end
of
their
deliberations,
they
voted
with
a
56
percent
majority
voting
in
favor
to
recommend
framework
five
to
this
body,
then,
on
April
18th
staff
came
to
the
council's
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
to
present
their
analysis
of
the
work
group's
recommendation,
along
with
an
analysis
of
framework
seven
which,
as
we
know,
was
not
recommended
by
the
work
group.
E
This
discussion
continued
to
the
following
meeting
and
we
spent
approximately
three
hours
of
the
biz
committee's
time
devoted
to
discussing
this
issue
over
the
last
few
weeks,
this
city
council,
the
city
council,
has
conducted
a
robust
and
extensive
process
to
get
to
this
point
on
a
rent,
stabilization
policy.
This
process
has
included
policy
makers,
it
has
included
stakeholders
and,
most
importantly,
it
has
included
the
residents
that
we
all
serve.
Who
live
in
this
city?
E
Now
it's
time
for
us
to
take
some
next
steps.
As
clerk
Carl
outlined
in
the
May
2nd
Biz
meeting,
our
staff
is
now
waiting
for
this
body
to
give
them
a
direction
on
policy
so
that
they
can
draft
the
ordinance
and
ballot
language.
This
motion
before
you
today
has
been
vetted
by
the
city,
clerk's
office
and
the
city
attorney's
office.
E
It's
important
to
understand
how
sensitive
the
timeline
for
action
on
this
issue
is
because
of
state
law.
Any
final
policy
has
to
be
put
back
on
the
ballot
for
approval
by
the
voters.
E
Last
year
we
considered
a
path
that
allowed
the
council
to
deliberate
on
the
policy
and
put
something
on
the
ballot
last
year.
That
was
not
the
direction
that
we
felt
comfortable
going
in.
Yet.
Instead
we
created
a
work
group
and
our
unwanted
industry,
experts
and
stakeholders
to
make
policy
recommendations
to
us,
and
our
attention
was
always
to
take
their
recommendation,
move
it
through
the
council's
legislative
process
and
put
it
on
the
ballot
for
voters
to
make
the
final
decision
for
us
to
do
that.
E
This
year
we
have
to
send
finalized
ballot
language
to
Hennepin
County
by
August
25th,
for
the
ballots
to
be
printed
in
time
with
how
many
meetings
we
have
left
between
now
and
that
deadline.
We
have
we
are
out
of
time,
and
that
means
should
this
item
pass
today
at
our
next
council
meeting
on
June
15th.
We
would
give
notice
of
introduction
to
introduce
an
ordinance
related
to
this
matter.
Then,
at
our
council
meeting
on
June
28th,
we
would
do
the
first
reading
and
referral
to
Biz
committee.
E
After
that,
at
the
June
July
11th
Biz
committee
meeting,
we
would
potentially
set
a
public
hearing
for
the
following
meeting
and
refine
the
ordinance,
assuming
that
this
draft,
which
is
based
on
this
motion,
is
ready
for
consideration.
Then
on
July
25th
we
would
potentially
hold
a
public
hearing
and
consider
amendments
and
refinement.
There
would
be
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
any
member
to
bring
amendments
for
consideration
to
refine
the
policy
and
because
of
the
significance
of
the
policy
both
for
the
city
and
for
residents.
E
We
may
need
to
continue
to
do
amendments
and
refinements
to
the
ordinance
at
our
August,
8th
Biz
committee
meeting
and
if
not,
the
refined
policy
would
be
Advanced
to
the
August
3rd
council
meeting,
where
we
would
have
another
opportunity
for
every
policy
maker
here
to
amend
and
refine
the
ordinance
before
it
goes
to
the
mayor,
and
if
the
policy
remains
in
the
biz
committee
for
a
second
meeting,
then
it
would
come
to
the
August
17th
meeting.
Where
again,
we
would
have
the
opportunity
for
amendments
and
refinement.
E
August
17th
is
the
last
scheduled
meeting
before
the
deadline
to
put
something
on
the
ballot
this
year.
To
be
clear,
this
motion
is
not
final
policy.
It
directs
the
city
attorney's
office
to
draft
ordinance
language
which
would
ultimately
need
to
go
through
our
regular
ordinance
creation
process.
That
means
this
body
will
have
multiple
opportunities
to
influence
the
outcome:
I
I
me
and
council
member
Osman
based
this
motion
off
of
the
expert's
recommendation,
both
from
the
cura
research
and
the
rent
stabilization
work
groups
recommendation.
E
E
Rest
assured
that
there
are
going
to
be
plenty
of
opportunities
for
that
in
the
coming
months
in
our
ordinance
creation
process,
both
at
the
committee
and
Council
level
and
then
I
just
wanted,
because
this
is
a
new
process
and
way
of
policy
making
that
this
body
is
experiencing
right
now,
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
to
direct
to
the
clerk.
If
that's
okay
with
you.
A
E
Okay,
so
Claire
Carl
like
knowing
again
that
this
is
an
unfamiliar
process
for
all
of
us.
Can
you
please
add
any
information
I
may
have
missed
about
about
the
process,
and
can
you
share
the
impact
of
this
body
potentially
advancing
emotion
that
doesn't
include
specific
components
of
the
policy

E
Why
emotion
is
needed
for
the
city
attorney's
office
to
draft
an
ordinance
and
specifically,
why
an
individual,
Council
council
member
can't
just
ask
our
attorneys
to
work
with
us
to
draft
something
and
then
finally,
can
you
and
or
the
City
attorney
clarify
why
the
council
is
able
to
direct
the
city
attorney's
office?
While
we
cannot
direct
other
departments
or
staff
in
the
administration.
J
That
framework
then
sets
out
Direction
specific
to
the
City
attorney
on
what
should
be
included
in
the
policy
and,
by
extension,
what
should
not
be
that
ensures
that
this
pre-work
at
the
beginning
of
the
process,
has
a
majority
of
the
council
in
support
of
the
basic
tenets
of
what
would
be
a
rent
stabilization
policy
in
the
form
of
an
ordinance
so
that
before
they
begin
drafting
work
that
may
or
may
not
ultimately
come
to
fruition
with
a
majority
vote
that
time
isn't
wasted.
J
As
you
pointed
out,
we
are
under
very
strict
statutory
time
period
that
we
may
not
affect,
and
so
by
August
25th.
We
must,
if
a
question
is
to
go
to
the
voters
this
year,
take
final
action,
and
that
includes
not
only
a
final
action
by
this
body.
Excuse
me,
but
also
consideration
by
the
mayor
and
any
reaction
by
the
council
if
there's
a
veto,
so
all
of
that
has
to
be
planned
into
the
schedule
before
August
25th
and
working
with
you
as
you've
outlined
quite
well.
J
There
will
literally
be
an
action
every
cycle
from
now
until
that
time.
The
motion
that
we
put
in
front
of
you
is
to
provide
that
direction
to
make
sure
that,
from
the
beginning,
in
full
transparency,
both
to
all
all
the
policy
makers
in
the
body
as
well
as
the
public
who
you
represent,
there
is
clarity
about
what
is
the
actual
policy
you're
advancing
and
putting
forward.
J
That
would
be
very
important,
of
course,
for
the
public,
if
they're
going
to
have
any
meaningful
impact
at
all
at
a
public
hearing
stage
that
the
draft
ordinance
provide
those
details,
you
asked,
could
we
put
forward
an
ordinance,
for
example,
that
had
sort
of
blanks
that
could
be
filled
in
later?
J
What
meaning
would
be
provided
by
that?
The
the
details
are
in
those
blanks
and
so,
for
example,
a
cap.
The
specific
that
is
in
the
cap
needs
to
be
in
the
draft-
that's
shared
with
the
public
so
that
the
public
can
provide
meaningful
input
to
the
body
before
we
take
final
action,
as
you
pointed
out
that
doesn't
stop
the
body
itself
from
refining
and
perfecting
the
process.
J
But
at
this
initial
stage
all
stakeholders,
internal
and
externality,
are
going
to
know
what
that
draft
policy
would
would
include,
as
it
comes
out
of
the
very
first
step,
so
I
think
that
would
explain
why
I
think
that's
important
and
why
this
is
different.
I
will
also
say
this
is
allowing
us
to
Pilot.
If
you
will
the
reformed
legislative
process,
we've
already
talked
to
in
front
of
this
body
publicly
that
part
of
the
process
in
the
past
has
been
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
happens
behind
the
scenes,
not
visible
or
accessible
to
the
public.
J
This
puts
that
work
in
the
public
sphere
in
the
council
chamber
in
full
view
of
everyone,
so
I
think
that's
also
an
important
to
make
and
then
I
think
you
asked
about
why
you
are
able
to
direct
the
City
attorney
specifically,
but
not
others
in
the
administration.
I'll
start
and
certainly
will
defer
to
the
City
attorney
because
we're
speaking
about
her
role.
But
as
we've
talked
about
for
the
last
year
and
a
half
on
government
structure,
the
City
attorney
of
all
25
departments
is
unique
and
it's,
unlike
any
other
department.
J
The
city
attorney
is
by
City
chartered
named
the
attorney
for
the
city
as
an
Enterprise.
The
City
attorney
is
the
attorney
for
the
mayor
for
the
city
council,
for
All
City
departments
and
for
all
City
boards
and
commissions,
with
the
one
exception
of
the
Park
Board
of
Commissioners,
and
so
because
of
that
we
have
to
be
careful.
Are
we
the
body
you,
the
body
talking
to
the
the
attorney
in
her
capacity
as
your
attorney,
or
are
you
talking
to
her
in
the
capacity
as
the
city's
attorney?
J
That's
under
the
administration
of
the
mayor,
in
this
case
you're
giving
direction
to
your
attorney
to
do
work
that
is
well
within
the
legislative
sphere.
Legislative
drafting
of
Apollo
see.
So
that's
why
this
is
somewhat
different
and
I
did
consult
with
the
attorney
on.
Should
this
be
in
the
form
of
a
legislative
directive,
how
this
body
connects
to
the
administration
through
the
mayor,
or
should
it
be
some
other
form
as
when
you
direct
your
Clerk
and
your
auditor?
J
R
All
right
and
council
president
members
of
the
the
committee
I
mean
of
the
of
the
council.
R
Clerk
Carl
is
100
right
and,
if
you,
if
you
recall
the
legislative
directive
policy
that
that
this
body
adopted
earlier
in
I,
guess
it
was
2022
now
explicitly
excluded
from
the
policy
request
for
legal
assistance
from
the
office
of
the
City
attorney
for
exactly
this
sort
of
thing,
because,
as
clerk
Carl
stated
under
the
charter
of
the
City
attorney,
is
the
attorney
for
the
city
writ
large
and
exclusively
the
attorney
for
the
city,
and
so
in
terms
of
being
that
the
council,
as
a
body
being
able
to
get
your
ordinances
drafted.
O
You
so
much
Madam,
president
and
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Mirage
Tai
for
her
work.
This
is
something
that
is
important
to
our
residents.
O
Housing
is
a
human
right,
and
one
thing
we
cannot
do
is
stay
quiet
and
not
move
forward.
I
think
residents
have
spoken
through
the
ballot
process
where
they
passed
four
council
members
to
discuss
and
have
a
conversation
about
this
I
know
we
run
out
of
time.
But
one
thing
we
cannot
do
is
just
stay
quiet.
O
Our
residents
expect
us
to
do
something
and
at
least
discuss
and
bring
something
forward,
and
we
were
a
we.
We
hired
a
work
group.
We
spend
money
for
this
work
group
to
meet
three
months
to
come
up
some
suggestions
and
they
came
up
framework.
Seven,
five
and
seven,
and
this
bullet
points
that
we
made
can
be
changed
and
that's
the
process
we're
talking
about.
We
want
to
be
able
to
say
what
is
the
best
way
forward
to
move
where's,
the
best
way
to
move
forward
being
a
pro-render
and
making
sure
that
we
are
creating.
O
You
know
more
opportunity
for
people
to
stay
their
homes.
You
can
use
an
example
of
Ward
6.
We
have
encampments
everywhere
and
worse
and
they
continue
getting
evicted
and
moving
around
moving
around
summer
winter
doesn't
matter
what
the
weather
is.
O
O
N
She
also
knows
that
I,
don't
believe
that
we
should
start
with
these
components,
so
I
won't
be
voting
for
it
today.
I
am
supportive
of
a
rent
stabilization
policy
that
predict
protects
against
price
gouging
and
unreasonable
and
predatory
rent
increases,
one
that
protects
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
works
in
partnership
with
all
of
our
other
initiatives
to
build
and
preserve,
affordable
housing
of
all
types.
N
What
I
cannot
support
is
a
policy
with
no
flexibility
or
one
that
eliminates
development
in
our
city,
which
means
we
aren't
replacing
the
affordable
housing
we're
losing
to
age
or
to
a
growing
population.
Rent
control
has
to
strike
a
balance
between
protecting
renters
from
unreasonable
practices
and
not
becoming
an
impediment
to
new
housing,
as
we
Face
a
nationwide
housing
crisis.
The
last
thing
we
need
is
less
access
to
housing.
N
St
Paul
has
made
significant
changes
to
their
voter,
approved,
rent
control
policy
after
development
screeched
to
a
halt
in
their
City.
They
were
forced
to
acknowledge
that
an
inflexible
policy
provided
real
challenges
and
additional
burdens
on
renters,
so
I
think
we
need
a
targeted
approach
with
any
policy
in
Minneapolis
and
I
am
committed
to
ensuring
we
take
the
time
to
craft
that
approach
and
get
real
and
practical
to
help
our
City's
renters.
Thank.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah
I
do
want
to
say
that
I'll
be
supporting
this
motion
today
and
I
want
to
thank
council
members,
chictai
and
Osman
for
for
leading
on
us
and
getting
us
here.
I
do
want
to
say
you
know:
we've
got
to
start
with
some
kind
of
Baseline.
We've
got
to
start
with
some
kind
of
specifics,
and
you
know
like
with
any
policy
making
process.
There
will
be
plenty
of
moments
for
discussion.
F
There'll
be
plenty
of
moments
for
changing
the
policy
along
the
way,
and
so
you
know,
given
that
councilmember
chick
Tai
and
Osmond
worked
on
this
policy.
They
put
a
framework
that
they
support
and
and
and
and
said
that
we
should
start
from
there.
That
does
not
mean
that
this
is
the
final
framework.
It
doesn't
mean
that
this
cannot
be
amended.
It
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
get
new
information
and
so
I
do
think.
We
should
support
this
today,
especially
given
that
there
is
so
much
flexibility
between
here
and
getting
this
on.
F
The
ballot
I
do
support
the
framework
that
they've
laid
out
here,
but
I
also
understand
that
not
everyone
on
the
body
does
and
I
just
want
to
reassure
folks
that
there
is
flexibility
in
this
process.
F
And,
lastly,
you
know
again:
it's
it's
timing
is
is,
is
is
critical
here
and
so,
given
that
this
is
really
a
question
about
whether
we're
going
to
take
this
up
this
year
or
not
and
I
think
that
I
think
that
we
should
take
this
up
this
year.
And
so
again,
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
for
bringing
this
forward
and
I'll
be
supporting
I'll,
be
supporting
it.
D
President
Jenkins,
thank
you.
I
want
to
begin
by
saying
thank
you
to
customer
Chuck,
Tai
and
councilmember
Osman
for
bringing
this
motion
forward
and
wanted
to
give
a
little
data
in
my
ward
as
a
regards
to
this
policy
in
2021
70.82
of
my
world
voted
in
favor
of
authorizing
the
city
council
to
regulate
rents
on
private
residential
property
in
the
state
of
Minneapolis
by
ordinance
and
then
29.18
voted.
No.
This
doesn't
even
include
the
undocumented
community
members
in
my
ward,
that
cannot
vote
but
fundamentally
believe
that
we
advance
civilization
policy
right
now.
D
Folks
that
cannot
vote
that
support.
This
policy
desperately
need
it
right
now.
I
wanted
to
repeat
that,
because
that
is
one
of
the
most
vulnerable
communities
we
have
in
the
entire
city
and
state
and
the
rising
rents
that
they're
being
forced
to
deal
with
is
leaving
many
homeless
many
without
food
and
many
without
the
resources
that
they
desperately
need.
D
The
ninth
ward
is
the
most
racially
diverse
award
in
the
entire
city
of
Minneapolis,
so
this
data
should
not
surprise
anyone
that
people
of
color
fundamentally
believe
that
we
need
rent
control.
Now
our
communities
of
color
and
immigrants
and
families
are
being
squeezed
from
all
their
money,
while
the
people
on
top
continue
to
profit
off
our
backs.
D
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
these
doors
and
my
constituents
fundamentally
believe,
at
least
in
Ward
9.
They
do
that
housing
is
a
human
right
and
that
people
deserve
to
stay
in
their
homes,
but
they
also
believe
that
we
need
to
do
more
as
a
city,
we
need
rent
control
now,
but
we
also
need
a
tenant
opportunity
to
purchase.
We
also
need
more
funding
for
the
right
to
council
and
we
need
to
increase
who
actually
qualifies
for
it,
because,
right
now
it
doesn't
qualify
for
the
people
that
need
the
most.
D
B
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
also
would
like
to
thank
council
members,
Chuck,
Tai
and
Osman
for
bringing
this
motion
forward.
B
I
have
always
supported
passing
a
strong
rent
control
policy
with
a
three
percent
cap
and
no
exemptions
or
no
exceptions,
because
that
is
the
policy
that
will
protect
the
most
vulnerable
renters
in
our
city
and
actually
reign
in
the
out
of
control
housing
market
without
loopholes
for
developers
and
corporate
landlords
to
exploit.
B
Over
the
last
year,
there
have
been
attempts
to
delay
Side,
Track
and
discredit
a
rent
control
policy
from
moving
forward,
but,
as
many
of
my
colleagues
have
shared
so
far,
you
know
at
this
point
is
really
a
question
of
political
will
and
it's
a
political
decision.
Either
we
move
forward
with
framework
five
or
we
don't.
B
We,
as
elected
officials,
are
ultimately
responsible
for
taking
a
stance
on
policy
issues
and
I
support
framework
five,
because
I
believe
that's
the
right
policy
for
our
city
and
after
a
year
of
convoluted
delays,
we're
mentors
just
deserve
a
straight
answer
about
whether
this
council
is
going
to
move
forward
with
the
strong
right
control
policy
or
not,
but
I
want
to
name
I.
Our
residents
have
been
clear
of
what
they
want
to
see
us
do.
Over
7
76
000
residents
voted
in
2021
to
give
this
body
a
mandate
to
pass
rent
control.
B
The
work
group
that
we
form
also
supported
a
strong
policy
in
framework
five
I
will
also
name
in
my
ward.
The
student
government
of
the
University
of
Minnesota
formally
supported
framework
five
I,
also
want
to
briefly
address
the
mischaracterizations
that
we
often
hear
about
the
impacts
of
rent
control,
especially
those
that's,
grounded
in
what
took
place
in
Saint.
Paul
I
want
to
be
very
clear
of
the
pulling
out
of
developers
in
St
Paul
from
producing
units.
B
That
was
a
capital
strike
that
was
intentionally
used
to
make
sure
that
elected
officials
who
are
actually
beholden
or
attempting
to
be
beholden
to
their
residence
and
addressing
our
unaffordable
housing
market,
and
you
know
wanting
to
move
forward
with
modest
regulations
that
was
an
attempt
to
put
them
in
their
place
and
to
stall
any
movement
or
any
policy
see
development
that
actually
regulated
our
current
unaffordable
housing
market.
So
that
was
the
intentional
Capital
strike.
B
We
heard
the
same
thing
with
the
15
minimum
wage
several
years
ago,
where
businesses
like
Target,
came
all
up
inside
of
City
Hall
and
said
the
sky
was
going
to
fall
and
zombies
would
take
over
the
city
if
we
pass
a
minimum
wage
policy
that
would
end
poverty,
wages
for
workers
and
already
know
we
got
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
The
Federal
Reserve
is
going
to
give
a
presentation.
That's
literally
saying
the
same
thing.
B
10
years
later,
and
people
need
more
than
15
at
this
moment,
but
I
divert
that
we
often
hear
profit-driven
interest
always
saying
regulations
that
actually
protect
people.
Then
profits
is
going
to
harm
them
because
they're
saying
that
as
a
threat
to
their
profits,
but
we're
not
here
to
serve
the
interest
of
those
who
only
want
to
cultivate
and
create
Pockets
I
mean
profits,
we're
here
to
serve
our
residents
and
also
want
to
know
in
Saint
Paul.
After
that
Capital
strike
those
developers
came
back.
B
2022
was
a
record
year
for
the
development
of
multi-family
housing
construction
permits
in
St
Paul.
So,
let's
ground
our
discussion,
you
know,
as
we
move
forward
with
this
in
the
facts.
I
also
just
want
to
name
again:
exemptions
and
exceptions
are
bad
for
renters
I
can
speak
for
War
Two.
We
have
an
extremely
high
turnover
near
the
U,
which
means
that
vacancy
d
control
will
exempt
massive
amounts
of
housing.
B
In
my
ward
same
with
new
construction
exempting
recent
construction
with
me,
what
me,
nearly
half
of
some
neighborhoods
in
Ward
2,
would
be
completely
unprotected
from
rent
gouging
or
rent
Heights.
So
it's
very
clear.
We
need
a
strong
policy
that
protects
renters,
and
that
means
a
three
percent
with
no
exemptions
or
exceptions,
periods
and
I
extend
gratitude
to
council
members,
Chuck,
Tai
and
Osmond
for
kick-starting
the
legislative
process.
That
will
help
us
to
hopefully
deliver
that
strong
policy
that
residents
have
been
looking
to
this
body
to
deliver
for
several
years
now.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I
did
have
myself
in
queue,
but
I
will
recognize.
Council
member
Payne.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wanted
to
Echo
some
of
the
sentiments
that
councilmember
Chavez
shared.
We
need
this
policy,
we
need
this
now.
We
need
to
start
this
timeline
to
get
this
policy
on
the
ballot
this
year
and
it's
not
the
only
policy
we
need
to
protect
renters
and
it's
not
the
only
policy.
We
need
to
have
a
healthy
housing
market
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
right
now
we
have
a
fully
dysfunctional
housing
market
and
that's
clear
whether
you're
a
renter
or
shopping
for
a
home.
C
I
think
rent
control
is
a
really
foundationally
important
tool,
but
it's
not
the
only
thing
that
we
need
right
now
to
solve
our
housing
crisis
and
I
think
you
know,
in
my
conversations
with
you,
know
some
of
the
most
skeptical
stakeholders
in
this
conversation,
that
being
some
of
our
developers,
we
saw
from
the
cura
study
that
a
cap
on
rents
of
three
percent
wouldn't
really
be
a
threat
to
their
business
model.
C
They
don't
frequently
raise
rents
more
than
three
percent,
but
for
some
of
our
most
marginalized
Community,
those
numbers
are
out
of
control,
and
so
the
worry
that
the
developers
have
are
around
access
to
Capital
and
the
as
council
member
ones
is
discussing
Capital
strike.
That
might
happen
when
institutional
investors
are
spooked
Away
by
elected
people
who
put
their
residence
first
and
I.
Think
the
answer
to
that
is
to
not
not
the
answer
to
that
isn't
to
not
pass
a
policy.
C
The
answer
to
that
is
to
solve
it
with
more
policy
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
take
a
stronger
role
in
these
Capital
decisions
and
have
something
like
a
municipal
bank
so
that
we
can
actually
fund
these
developments
in
a
way
that
the
private
Market
is
just
uninterested
in,
because
the
profits
aren't
what
they
want
it
to
be.
So
I
think
we
need
to
just
usurp
that
and
put
put
ourselves
at
the
in
the
driving
seat
when
it
comes
to
our
housing
market
and
I.
C
Think
it's
possible
to
do
that
through
something
like
a
municipal
bank
and
I'll
also
Echo,
my
colleague
council
member
Ellison
of
today.
We
are
voting
on
moving
forward,
we're
not
making
hard
commitments,
but
we
need
to
have
something
to
start
with,
and
we've
already
asked
so
much
of
our
community
Through,
bringing
together
the
work
group.
It
was
a
very
thoughtful
cross-section
of
our
community
and
cross-section
of
stakeholders.
This
is
our
starting
point.
Let's
get
this
ball
rolling.
C
We
can
do
the
work
of
policy
makers
through
this
formal
process
and
we
we
have
to
start
now
if
we
want
to
make
that
deadline
this
year.
So
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this
policy
and
I'm
going
to
be
encouraging
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
to
support
this
policy
and
I'll
echo.
My
colleague,
council
member
Goodman
today
is
not
the
day
to
do.
The
work
of
of
committee
work
today
is
the
day
to
start
the
process,
so
we
can
do
that.
Work
and
I.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Payne
and
I
will
just
state
that
I'm
grateful
for
council
member,
Chuck,
Tai
and
Osman
bringing
this
motion
forward
today
to
begin
the
process.
We
absolutely
do
need
to
get
something
on
the
ballot
this
year
so
that
our
voters
can
weigh
in
on
this.
A
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
authors
for
their
work
related
to
this
and
their
willingness
to
bring
forward
something
on
run.
Stabilization
I
certainly
am
interested
in
seeing
a
policy
pass
and
seeing
rent
stabilization
in
our
city
and
I
would
like
to
see
something
this
year.
I
don't
support
framework.
Five
I
want
to
recognize
the
home
to
stay
Coalition
and
Isaiah
for
all
the
work
they've
done
around
trying
to
build
a
consensus.
Q
It's
my
understanding
that
they're,
just
from
conversations
of
elected
officials
that
they've
made
from
the
Coalition
that
there
was
a
three
percent
policy
that
would
have
more
support
on
this
Council
than
I
think
we
will
see
today
and
that
policy
could
have
been
the
one
being
brought
forward.
Q
I
also
wish
that
we
had
had
more
conversations
around
this
I
know
that
one
of
the
authors
I
spoke
to
several
months
ago.
Briefly
for
a
few
minutes
in
my
office,
the
other
one
called
me
yesterday
to
have
a
direct
conversation
for
the
first
time
about
this.
I
hope
that
we
can
start
having
more
conversations
as
well
as
this
body
tries
to
build
consensus.
Q
I,
don't
support
version
framework,
five
for
a
number
of
reasons,
and
all
those
reasons
relate
to
it
being
bad
for
tenants
for
renters.
The
first
is:
it
will
reduce
Supply
creation
by
adding
risk
to
new
construction
projects.
Q
Q
It
will,
frankly,
increase
rent
for
renters
by
incentivizing
all
landlords
to
maximize
the
rent
increases,
particularly
because
of
the
no
banking
to
the
full
amount,
three
percent
which,
on
a
thousand
dollar
a
month
unit,
is
an
additional
360
dollars
a
year,
which
is
a
huge
amount
of
money.
That's
comparable
in
many
cases
to
several
weeks,
if
not
a
month
of
groceries
for
an
individual
and
between
the
impacts
it
will
have
on
both
demand
and
also
the
exceptions
around
large
Capital
expenditures
being
passed
through
past
through
it
will
fuel
gentrification.
Q
Those
are
serious
concerns,
I,
have
about
framework
five
I
believe
we
can
move
forward,
a
policy
that
does
the
most
to
maximize
protections
for
renters
without
creating
these
unintended
consequences
and
I
hope
that
there's
work
after
this
today
to
have
those
direct
conversations
and
I
trust.
My
colleagues
will
engage
around
that
and
and
do
that
work.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Councilmember
Johnson
very
well
spoken.
I
will
also
be
voting
no
on
this
today
and
and
I
do
appreciate
the
authors
bringing
this
forward.
M
But
when
we
talk
about
our
capitalization
strike,
that's
a
very
real
real
issue,
and
that
happened
in
Saint
Paul,
and
it
was
not
until
there
were
great
modifications
made
to
their
rent
policy
that
the
building
became
again
and
money
in
this
day
and
age
can
be
moved
around
very
rapidly
and
and
people
will
not
invest
in
housing
in
our
community
if
they
are
not
allowed
their
rate
of
return.
M
That's
why
you're
seeing
all
the
building
in
Denver
Albuquerque
that
money
just
won't
come
here
anymore,
so
I,
look
forward
to
the
discussion
and
I
I
appreciate
the
democracy
and
the
transparency
that
discussion
will
happen,
but
today
I
will
not
be
voting
for
this,
and
if
this
were
to
get
on
our
plate,
the
mayor
will
veto
it.
So
that's
another
consideration.
We
have
to
think
about
as
we
move
forward.
So
so
thanks
again,
councilmember
Chuck
Dai.
Thank
you,
council
member
Osman,
but
I
will
not
be
voting
for
this
today.
P
You,
madam
president,
I
too,
will
not
be
supporting
this
today.
I
think,
what's
been
happening
around
the
rank.
Stabilization
conversation
is
that
black
and
brown
people
are
believing
that
this
three
percent
cap
and
a
lot
of
these
other
things
are
somehow
going
to
benefit
them,
and
there
is
nowhere
in
this
country
where
rent
control
or
rent
stabilization
policies
benefit
people
who
look
like
me,
and
the
people
who
are
it's
just
become
like
this
fear
tactic,
to
make
people
think
somehow
this
will
help
them.
P
This
type
of
policy
is
going
to
help
people
who
can
afford
rents.
What
we
need
here
is
an
opportunity
for
pay
more
pay
for
people.
We
need
some
type
of
supplemental
income
for
people.
That
is
how
they're
going
to
benefit
in
housing.
That
is
how
we
get
people
out
of
encampments.
People
need
to
make
more
money.
We
need
to
be
there
for
them
financially,
not
by
these
types
of
policies.
Look
at
New,
York,
City,
look
at
San
Francisco.
If
you've
ever
been
there
most
of
the
people
that
you
see
living
in
the
streets.
P
Look
like
me:
they
live
homeless
because
of
these
types
of
policies.
This
is
not
going
to
benefit
the
people
of
Minneapolis
I
want
to
have
conversations
with
my
colleagues
about
how
we
help
black
and
brown
people
in
this
city
into
Home
Ownership
into
being
able
to
grow
their
families.
This
policy
will
only
benefit
you
where
you
currently
live.
If
you
have
more
children,
if
you
have
family
members
that
have
to
move
into
you
move
in
with
you
once
you
move
you,
you
I
mean
that
rent
control
policy-
it's
it's
not
for
you
anymore.
P
You
got
to
pay
way
more
rents,
your
landlords
might
not
be
taking
care
of
the
properties
like
you
need
to,
and
I
feel
like.
This
is
just
going
to
push
a
lot
of
black
and
brown
people
who
love
the
City
of
Minneapolis
into
first
tier
suburbs.
We
can
no
longer
have
that
we
deserve
to
live
in
the
city.
We
deserve
to
have
access
to
city,
transportation
and
other
things,
and
this
is
not
it.
I
want
to
have
real
conversations,
Stop,
scaring
people
and
to
believing
that
rent
control
is
going
to
help
them.
B
I
absolutely
agree
with
some
sentiments
raised
by
both
council
member
vitan,
even
council,
member
Payne
I
think
we
all
collectively
agree
that
rent
control
is
just
one
piece
of
a
larger
solution,
or
you
know
array
of
solutions
that
we
need
to
move
forward
to
address
the
fact
that
our
city
is
being
increasingly
unaffordable
for
Working
Class
People,
but
as
you
highlight
it,
for
black
and
brown
folks,
but
also,
as
you
noted
most
folks,
who
are
facing
House
housing
insecurity
who
are
living
in
our
in
campus
right
now,
do
look
like
us
look
like
me
and
you
and
that's
under
our
current
housing
market
and
I,
also
know
in
New
York.
B
There's
folks
who
look
like
me
and
you
who
can
stay
there
right
now.
As
you
know,
all
the
rents
around
there
basically
cost
your
firstborn
child.
The
only
reason
why
they
are
able
to
stay
there
is
because
of
the
policies
that
Working
Class
People,
like
those
who
are
in
our
audience,
fought
for
like
rent
control.
That
is
giving
them
longevity
in
cities
like
that
as
well.
So
I
I
want
to
highlight
the
very
things
that
you're
laying
out
the
worst
case.
Scenarios
is
happening
under
our
current
housing
market.
B
Black
and
brown
people
have
been
priced
out
of
their
neighborhoods
in
North
Minneapolis,
where
we
know
in
War,
4
70
of
single-family
homes
are
owned
under
a
monopoly
of
one
of
the
largest
Real
Estate
Investors
that
actually
caused
the
housing
crash
of
2008
and
then
strip
wealth
from
the
black
folks
that
you
and
I
we
can't
we
came
here
to
serve
so
here's
a
way
to
do
a
full
circle
of
giving
them
the
protections
that
the
market
does
not
care
to
provide
them,
that
big
landlords
and
property
developers
do
not
care
to
provide
them,
because
the
things
that
you
laid
out
is
happening
right
now.
B
Encampments
are
happening
every
day.
Black
and
brown
folks
have
to
go
out
to
the
suburbs,
because
that's
the
only
place
where
they
can
live.
That
is
happening
right
now
and
if
we
don't
do
our
array
of
solutions
like
rent
control,
fully
funding
a
public
housing,
Levy
I
would
love
to
work
with
you
too.
B
If
you're
talking
about
increasing
minimum
wages
and
not
afraid
of
the
you
know,
sky
falling
down
as
Target
told
us,
let's
do
25
dollars
hour
like
let's,
let's
kick
all
the
solutions
forward,
then,
if
we
really
want
to
talk
about
the
ways
in
which
economic,
basically,
economic
divestments
poured
intentionally
into
black
and
brown
folks
has
made
it
so
that
they
can't
even
live
in
the
cities
that
they
build,
that
they
basically
help
function,
so
I'm
all
on
board
for
working
on
array
of
solutions.
B
This
is
one
piece
of
it
unless
you
know
pour
all
this
energy
and
discussion
towards
figuring
out
how
we're
going
to
move
the
next
around
housing
around
minimum
wages
around
making
sure
people
get
clean,
air
there's
a
whole
comprehensive
work,
a
list
of
options
or
a
list
of
policies
that
this
body
can
take
up
and
could
have
been
taken
up
this
past
year,
but
folks
didn't
have
the
will
to
do
so.
We
could
do
that
now,
so
I'm
I'm
here
for
it.
So
thank
you
for
raising
that.
A
F
You
know
in
the
last
couple
of
years
since
I've
been
on
on
this
Council
I've
done
a
lot
of
work,
some
of
it
right
alongside
the
council
president
as
well
on
anti-displacement
policy.
Anti-Gentrification
policy
had
a
lot
of
discussions
with
a
lot
of
council
members
and
a
lot
of
Advocates
around
the
country
around
around
policies
like
rent
stabilization
I
will
say
that,
through
probably
hundreds
of
hours
of
discussion
today
might
be
the
first
time
that
I've
heard
someone
claim
that
these
policies
do
not
help
black
and
brown
people.
F
That's
absurd,
and,
and
it's
the
first
it's
the
first
time.
No
information
just
said
it,
and
so,
and
so
I
I
wanted
to
say
that,
and
it's
it's
not
appropriate.
It's
the
only
it's
the
only
thing
that
you've
heard
on
this
diet
that
actually
was
explicitly
fear-mongering.
F
It's
the
only
thing
on
this
diet
that
you've
heard
today,
that's
explicitly
fear-mongering
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
I
I
was
hoping
we
could
just
sort
of
take
this
vote,
but
when
crazy
things
are
said
in
this
dies,
I
think
it's
it's
it's
important
that
we
go
ahead
and
correct.
The
record
all
right,
that's,
okay,
the
the
other.
F
The
other
thing,
the
other
thing
that
I
want
to
say
is
that
the
people,
the
people
who
have
done
the
most
to
fight
gentrification,
the
people
who
have
who
have
been
doing
this
work
and
advocating
for
this
work
for
years,
are
not
us
on
this
dice,
but
it's
The
Advocates
and
some
of
the
people
in
this
room.
F
They
know
gentrification
and
anti-gentification
policy
better
than
any
of
us,
they're
advocating
for
a
policy
and
I
think
that
we
should
not
be
disingenuous
in
saying
we
know
what
will
and
will
not
generate
gentrification
when
the
people
who
do
the
work,
the
people
who
know
it
the
best
are
advising
us
and
and
and
I
think
it's
I
think
I
think
it's
our
our
role
to
listen.
That
doesn't
mean
that
the
final
policy
has
to
look
like
it's
laid
out
here.
F
We're
going
to
have
that
debate,
but
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
say
we
know
what
gentrification
is
when
we're,
not
the
ones
who
are
who
have
been
The
Advocates
and
the
knowledge
bearers
on
that.
The
people
in
the
audience
The
Advocates
out
in
the
street
have
been
so
I
felt
like.
It
was
necessary
to
say
that,
after
some
of
the
comments
that
were
made
today,
councilman.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
just
come
back
to
what
this
is
all
about.
I
represent
word
10
and
80
renter
Community,
with
the
second
highest
density
of
renters
in
the
city.
In
the
last
couple
of
months,
more
than
ever
in
my
year
and
a
half
here,
my
office
is
working
on
constituent
case
work
where
tenants
are
facing
unbelievable
hikes.
We're
talking
about
30
and
40
percent.
E
Rent
hikes
I've
never
seen
that
in
in
early
2021,
even
when
we
had
just
or
in
early
2022,
when
we
had
just
passed
question.
Three
research
tells
us
that
rent
regulations
have
been
effective
at
achieving
two
goals.
The
first
is
maintaining
below
Market
rent
levels,
and
the
second
is
moderating
price
appreciation
generally
places
with
stronger
rent
control
programs
have
more
success,
preventing
large
price
appreciation
than
weaker
programs
do.
E
This
is
why
it's
one
tool
in
a
toolbox
of
policies
to
intervene
in
the
housing,
affordability
and
displacement
crisis
residents
in
the
city
are
facing.
It
is
one
of
the
most
powerful.
We
know
that
renters
deserve
the
same
stability
in
housing
costs
that
homeowners
have
in
the
form
of
a
mortgage.
Investment
in
other
policies
has
not
kept
pace
with
the
severity
of
the
crisis.
That's
one
of
the
core
problems
we're
facing.
E
In
total
this
year,
we've
we've
invested
11
million
dollars
in
programs
like
guaranteed
basic
income,
stable
home,
stable
schools
and
the
affordable
housing.
Trust
fund
and
I
am
really
excited
to
work
with
all
of
you
to
find
money
to
significantly
increase
our
investment
in
these
existing
programs.
As
as
important
interventions
in
addressing
the
crisis
that
we're
facing,
we
absolutely
should
do
more.
E
On
top
of
the
existing
programs,
we
should
Advance
a
tenant
opportunity
to
purchase,
which
is
work
that
began
in
2021
and
is
is
is
happening
right
now,
council,
member
Ellison
and
I
author,
our
our
ordinance
on
tenant
opportunity
to
purchase
one
of
the
reasons.
Staff
hasn't
been
able
to
devote
as
many
resources
to
completing
that
policy
is
because
we
told
them
to
go
and
staff
the
Run
stabilization
work
group
right.
E
We
should
absolutely
increase
our
investment
in
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
We
should
Advance
a
public
housing
Levy
and
invest
in
full
service,
Community
Schools
across
our
city,
and
address
food
security
and
invest
more
in
stable
home,
stable
schools
and
guaranteed
basic
income
and
the
4D
program
and
consider
Municipal
banking.
These
things
together
are
going
to
address
and,
and
things
beyond
that
that
we
don't
know
about
yet
together
are
going
to
address
the
the
severe
crisis
that
we're
we're
in
and
our
residents
are
in.
E
For
me,
this
is
about
reacting
to
what
I'm
seeing
happening
to
my
constituents
in
this
moment
and
to
and
to
to
advance
a
policy
that
is
in
front
of
us
this
year,
but
I
absolutely
agree
that
there
is
a
lot
more
that
we
can
do
and
what
I
hear
is
a
lot
of
agreement
on
this
body
in
in
working
on
those
things
together,
which
is
really
exciting,
especially
as
we
head
into
budget
season
this
year.
Thank
you.
P
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
say
I.
Think.
What's
ridiculous?
Is
that
council
members
who
are
going
to
benefit
from
this
kind
of
policy
no
I
mean
like
this?
Is
this
is
going
to
benefit
council
members
who
make
six
figures
figures,
not
people
who
live
in
Ward,
four
that
make
forty
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
period.
That's
ridiculous!.
K
J
N
A
That
motion
carries
and
staff
will
begin
to
work
on
that
ordinance.
J
Before
we
depart
from
this
item,
if
you
would
indulge
me,
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
talk
about
next
steps
since
we're
talking
about
a
very
tight
timeline
for
a
ballot
question
with
the
approval
of
this
item.
Of
course
it
goes
to
the
mayor.
This
is
an
active
Council.
The
mayor
can
approve
or
not
approve
this
action.
We
have
time
within
the
schedule
that
we've
lined
out
for
the
council
to
reconsider.
If
the
mayor
does
veto
this
action,
however,
I
think
and
I
won't
speak
for
them
they're
at
the
diocese.
J
The
attorneys
now
know
that
the
body
wishes.
You
know
this,
this
work
to
proceed
and
they
will
begin
the
process
of
drafting
the
ordinance
aligned
with
this
process.
In
the
next
Council
cycle.
We
will
begin
the
legislative
process
in
this
item.
That
starts
with
notice
as
council
member
Sugg
Tai
indicated
in
her
first
comments
following
notice
would
be
the
formal
introduction
and
referral
to
the
biz
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee,
where
it
will
remain,
as
the
body
has
the
opportunity
to
perfect
so
in
terms
of
next
steps
after
the
formal
introduction
referral.
J
At
that
time,
amendments
could
come
forward
so
when
this
is
on
the
agenda
in
two
cycles
at
the
introduction
first
reading
and
referral
process,
it's
up
for
another
vote.
That's
the
next
formal
vote
by
this
body
on
the
process
and
amendments
would
be
in
order
at
that
time.
Once
it's
referred
to,
the
biz
committee
amendments
can
be
brought
forward
at
that
time
as
well.
The
bids
committee
would
be
the
body
that
will
conduct
the
public
hearing
required
on
the
ordinance.
J
The
public
will
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
at
that
public
hearing
and
give
their
pers
viewpoints
on
that
policy
proposal.
Council
will
have
a
chance
to
refine
again
at
Committee
in
response
to
public
input,
so
the
Amendments
could
come
forward
after
that.
Public
hearing
is
closed.
Then
it
gets
referred
to
full
Council
for
council's
final
action.
I
will
remind
everyone
that,
because
this
is
both
a
policy
and
a
ballot
question
which
we
don't
do
often,
there
are
two
very
separate
actions
that
are
companion
items.
J
The
policy
on
rent
stabilization
would
be
an
ordinance,
as
we
have
said
several
times
here
year,
if
approved
ultimately
by
voters
that
gets
codified.
Unlike
ballot
questions,
we've
referred
in
the
past,
however,
this
is
not
an
amendment
to
the
city
Charter.
This
is
actually
the
people
of
the
city,
the
voters,
if
they
approve
it
amending
our
code
of
ordinances,
what
are
in
effect
our
Municipal
statutes,
something
we've
not
done
as
a
city
prior.
So
if
that
passes,
we
would
be
amending
the
code.
J
That
would
be
the
ordinance,
but
a
ballot
question
by
state
law
must
be
referred
to
voters
in
the
form
of
a
resolution.
So
a
companion
item
will
go
forward
with
the
ordinance
and
the
attorneys
will
need
to
work
with
Council
to
determine
the
language
that
actually
gets
referred
to.
Voters
the
language
that
will
show
up
on
the
ballot.
J
That's
separate
from
the
ordinance
both
of
those
the
ordinance
and
the
resolution
must
pass,
can
only
pass
with
at
least
a
majority
vote
of
the
body,
meaning
there
must
be
at
least
seven
affirmative
votes
for
the
ordinance
and
seven
affirmative
votes
for
the
resolution.
Both
both
of
those
separate
items
are
also
subject
to
the
mayor's
approval
or
veto,
and
so
in
work
talking
with
councilman
Osman,
as
I
said
briefly
at
the
beginning,
we
are
anticipating
that.
J
Opportunity
for
further
refinement
and
Perfection
through
both
amendment
by
this
body,
input
from
the
public
at
the
public
hearing,
which
will
be
conducted
by
the
committee
of
reference
but
I
think
the
first
piece
to
start
with
is
now
that
there
is
consensus
from
the
body
around
the
components
of
that
policy.
The
attorneys
can
begin
the
process
of
drafting
that
and
that
will
expedite
the
work
of
having
that
ready
when
it's
referred
to
biz
for
the
public
hearing.
So
just
one
outline
that
procedures
and
appreciate
that
time.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
clerk
I
do
want
to
just
remind
my
colleagues.
We
all
have
the
rules
of
the
quorum
posted
up
in
front
of
us.
I
would
ask
that
we
all
please
respect
those
rules.
I,
as
the
chair
can
only
remind
you.
It
is
your
responsibility,
as
elected
members
of
this
body,
to
adhere
to
those
rules.
Thank
you.
A
We
will
now
proceed
to
consider
the
added
items
under
new
business
I'll
call
on
council
member
Ellison
to
introduce
the
proposed
legislative
director
authored
by
council
members,
Ellison
Koski
wansley
related
to
a
request
from
the
mayor
for
information
and
data
related
to
Personnel
actions.
Council
member
Allison.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
this
this
item,
as
I
said
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
is
very
similar
to
legislative
directive
that
I
brought
forward
a
cycle
ago
directed
towards
the
clerks
in
the
audit.
Department
I
think
this.
We
as
we
sort
of
started
digging
into
the
work.
F
We
realized
that
some
of
this
work
was
going
to
need
to
be
provided
by
other
departments
with
on
the
executive
side,
and
so
it
always
feels
great
when
some
of
your
when
your
colleague
comes
to
and
says
hey
great
legislative
directive,
but
I've
got
a
way
that
we
can
improve
it
and
that's
exactly
what
councilmemberkowski
did
she.
F
She
had
some
ideas
on
how
we
could
strengthen
the
previous
directive,
and
so
that
is
that's
reflected
in
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
here
and
so
I
can
stand
for
questions,
but
also
happy
to
have
councilmemberkowsky
and
councilmember
wansley
speak
on
the
item
as
well.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
explain
how
we
got
here,
at
least
how
I
got
here
today
when
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
received
a
presentation
on
the
Personnel
related
request
regarding
the
appointed
position
in
the
office
of
community
safety,
the
director
of
partnership
and
Outreach.
It
was
mentioned
that
the
funding
for
this
position
came
from
a
vacant
crime
prevention,
specialist
FTE
that
was
moved
to
OCS
in
the
city's
2023
budget.
K
So
I
took
a
look
at
the
city's
2023
budget
book
to
check
and
there
was
no
change
item
listed
under
OCS
that
showed
that
we
moved
a
vacant
crime
prevention
specialist
to
OCS.
So
then
I
met
with
finance
and
Property
Services
to
check,
and
it
turns
out
that
yes,
a
vacant
crime
prevention,
specialist
FTE
that
was
moved
to
OCS
in
the
city's
2023
budget,
without
a
change
item
and
without
it
being
mentioned
in
the
department
presentation,
so
it
to
put
it
plainly.
K
A
vacant
crime
prevention,
specialist
FTE,
was
moved
to
OCS
in
the
city's
2023
budget,
and
this
body
approved
it,
but
we
had
absolutely
no
way
of
knowing
that's
what
we
did.
I
was
under
the
impression
that
all
but
one
of
the
crime
prevention
Specialists
were
moved
from
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
to
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
However,
what
actually
happened
was
that
some
of
the
crime
prevention
Specialists
were
moved
to
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
and
then
some
were
moved
elsewhere.
K
Now,
I'll
remind
my
colleagues,
we
have
policies
in
place
that
are
supposed
to
prevent
this.
We
have
policies
in
place
that
require
that
this
body
approve
the
moving
of
any
ftes
between
departments,
but
this
was
put
into
the
city's
2023
budget
without
this
body
knowing-
and
so
we
approved
this
without
knowing
this
happened
in
multiple
cases
today,
I
just
spoke
about
one
of
these
instances,
but
it
has
happened
across
several
departments.
K
Ftes
were
moved
in
the
city's
Minneapolis
2023
budget,
with
little
to
no
transparency
being
provided
to
the
city
council
and,
frankly,
what's
done
is
done,
but
before
we
move
forward,
this
body
must
be
provided
with
all
of
the
information
we
deem
necessary
to
make
the
decisions.
We're
asked
to
make
and
I
want
to
be
clear.
This
legislative
directive
is
not
about
any
specific
Personnel
related
request.
It
is
not
about
any
specific
position
or
any
specific
person
is
about
creating
transparency
where
transparency
is
sorely
lacking.
This
is
about
us,
creating
transparency
in
our
decision
making.
K
Our
city
staff
has
already
been
working
diligently
to
provide
the
information
requested
in
the
previous
legislative
directive
and
I
think
our
city
staff
for
their
work.
Thus
far,
however,
as
new
information
has
come
to
light
throughout
this
conversation,
it's
become
clear
that
we
need
additional
information
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
make
informed
decisions
moving
forward,
and
that
is
why
this
legislative
directive-
and
that
is
what
this
legislative
directive
attempts
to
provide.
K
If
our
city
staff
don't
have
the
capacity
to
provide
the
information
requested
in
the
outline
timeline.
I
do
invite
City
staff,
who
I
do
not
see
here
today
right
now,
but
to
come
forward
with
what
a
reasonable
timeline
might
be,
but
I'll
note
that
my
position,
Remains
the
Same
I,
don't
believe
that
we
as
a
body
should
take
further
action
regarding
Personnel
related
requests
until
we
have
provided
we've
been
provided
with
this
information
and
Beyond
this
legislative
directive.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
also
say
thank
you
to
co-authors,
council,
member
Koski
and
Ellison,
as
well
as
clerk
Carl
for
your
work
on
this.
B
Many
of
you
are
aware
that
I've
been
raising
questions
about
ftes
and
how
they're
being
created
and
modified
as
part
of
our
overall
government
restructure
process
for
many
months
now,
and
some
of
those
questions
and
and
conversations
I
do
believe,
laid
the
foundation
for
this
legislative
directive.
It's
very
clear.
In
order
for
this
Council
to
to
do
our
duties
on
oversight
and
budgeting,
we
need
up-to-date,
in-depth
information
on
Staffing
and
that's
what
this
legislative
directive
gets.
Us
that's
been
something
that
again
throughout
our
entire
government.
You
know
restructure
process.
B
We
have
not
gotten
that
information,
because
we
kind
of
rushed
through
it
in
a
haphazard
way,
and
we
didn't
resolve
key
questions
about
how
we
were
organizing,
not
only
our
city
government,
but
how,
in
the
ways
in
which
these
positions
would
be
factoring
to
it,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
know
that
we
aren't
like
that.
This
is
the
byproduct
of
many
many
conversations.
B
Many
many
questions
that
have
not
been
tended
to
over
the
past
year
and
this
legislative
directive
aims
to
somewhat
correct
pieces
of
that
by
ensuring
that
the
council
and
the
public
has
a
high
level
overview
of
All
Staffing
changes
and
how
they
fit
together
and
I.
Look
forward
to
using
this
as
a
tool
to
help.
You
know:
Council
use
our
full
autonomy
and
authority
over
the
budget
as
we're
thinking
of
how
do
we
use
a
taxpayer
dollars
and
programs
that
we
get
to
create
or
support
in
meeting
the
needs
of
our
residents.
B
So
again,
just
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
and
staff
for
helping
bring
what
has
been
a
year
worth
of
conversation
and
discussion
finally
into
something
tangible.
D
Our
council
president
Jenkins
I,
just
want
to
thank
councilor
Koski
once
in
Ellison
and
the
clerk
for
working
on
this.
In
my
ward
in
Ward
8
and
Ward
12,
we
actually
had
an
empty
sitting.
Crime
prevention
specialist
for
years
and
because
of
the
shifting
of
this
I,
had
to
work
with
the
chief
to
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
find
funding
to
make
sure
that
this
position
was
temporarily
filled
because
of
the
way
this
shifted.
So
it
was
very
difficult.
D
It
took
more
than
10
different
meetings
with
different
staff,
the
chief
and
because
of
the
work
we
were
able
to
do
with
the
chief
and
his
commitment
to
getting
this
position
filled.
We
were
able
to
fill
that
out
and
we're
going
to
be
having
a
crime
preventive
specialist
soon
in
the
part
of
Ward,
8,
9
and
12.
That
has
been
without
one
for
years.
H
Q
Could
turn
it
on
there?
We
go
all
right.
My
microphone
button
isn't
working
we'll
we'll
check
that
out
after
the
meeting,
but
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
and
I
want
to
thank
the
authors
for
bringing
this
forward
and
I
really
appreciate,
really
really
really
appreciate
their
work
on
this
and
bringing
this
to
light
and
I.
Don't
know
if
there
are
any
plans
from
the
administration
to
provide
an
explanation
to
the
council
around
this,
but
I
think
that
that
is
due
to
the
council
and
that
we
should
have
an
understanding
of
why.
Q
A
J
Councilmember
Johnson
aye
councilmember,
Osman,
aye,
council
member
Payne,
aye
council,
member
Koski,
aye
council
member
aye,
council
member
Chavez,
aye
council
member
Ellison,
aye
council
member
Vita,
I
council
member
rainville,
aye
council
member
wansley
aye.
Vice
president
palmisano
aye,
president
Jenkins.
Okay,
there
are
12
eyes
that.
J
Madam,
president,
again
just
so
we're
clear
with
the
body
and
the
clerk's
office
will
certainly
follow
up
and
provide
notice,
but
part
of
this
action
was
rescinding
Prior
directives
that
had
been
issued
related
to
personal
actions
and
also
directing
that
any
and
all
Personnel
actions
here
forward
go
to
the
budget
committee
centralizing
all
of
those
requests
to
the
body
to
its
budget
committee,
which
is
all
13
council
members
I
just
wanted
to
highlight.
J
This
should
then
eliminate
Personnel
matters
going
from
one
committee
to
the
next
and
should
centralize
all
of
those
functions
into
the
budget
committee,
where
the
body
setting
all
13
members
as
a
committee
can
take
those
up,
and
so
we
also
are
eliminating
I,
think
one
or
two
prior
directives
and
consolidating
that
into
this
directive.
So
when
we
get
our
update
from
the
administration
and
the
status
of
legislative
directives,
that
means
we'll
have
Just
One
Direction
related
to
Personnel
actions.
A
Thank
you,
clerk
Carl
colleagues,
we
have
completed
all
business
on
our
agenda
and
I
will
take
up
any
announcements.
Do
any
of
my
colleagues
have
any
announcements
today.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
did
want
to
I
went
to
two
events
with
some
of
our
employees.
The
first
was
this
morning
at
six
a.m.
Over
at
the
new
Public
Works
Garage
on
University
and
27th
and
I
was
looking
for
my
fellow
Northeast
council
member
there,
council,
member,
Payne
and
I
look
forward
to
bringing
you
over
there
maybe
another
day
at
six
a.m,
but.
M
I
I,
oh
and
I
would
be
remiss
that
I
I
was
joined
by
council
member
Koski.
So
thank
you,
Emily
for
coming
up
from
the
south
side
to
spread
some
cheer,
but
in
a
very
serious
note
that
was
the
crew
that
Emily
and
I
talked
to
was
the
rubbish?
Haulers,
the
solid,
solid
waste
yard
waste
Organics
and
we
had
the
chance
to
thank
them
for
their
service
to
to
view
the
the
facilities,
the
newest
facility
from
Public
Works,
which
really
AIDS
in
their
retention.
M
And
so
that
was
a
very
a
good
morning
for
me
and
for
council
member
Koski
to
thank
those
employees
and
last
night
I
attended
a
Police
Graduation.
M
We
have
15
more
members,
young
women,
young
men,
Brave
young
women,
young
men
to
service
and
in
the
spirit
of
one
of
our
speakers
earlier
today
that
a
council
member
wansley
had
brought
in
who
encouraged
us
to
all
work
together
to
bring
peace
and
to
not
have
another
terrible
brutality
incident
in
our
city,
whether
it's
George,
Floyd
or
anyone
else,
and
and
in
that
Spirit
of
working
together.
M
I
I
would
like
our
fellow,
my
fellow
council
members,
to
acknowledge
the
importance
of
the
police
department
and
the
fact
that
they
put
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day
as
well.
Last
Friday
I
went
to
the
ceremony
honoring
all
the
police
officers
who
have
been
killed,
the
line
of
duty,
and
that
was
very
touching
people.
Our
officers
endanger
themselves
every
day
as
part
as
part
of
our
Public
Safety
solution,
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
brave
women
and
men
in
our
our
Police
Department.
M
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
have
the
floor
here
and
all
of
us
realize
that
violence
affects
all
of
us
and
all
of
our
professions
every
day
and
it's
our
job.
It's
our
number
one
job
is
to
have
public
safety
for
our
citizens.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
rainville
I
too,
attended
that
graduation
last
night
and
congratulated
the
15
new
police
officers
and
reminded
them
that
they
must
become
a
part
of
the
community
and
not
stand
apart
from
the
community.
The
terror
recognized
council
member
wansley
thank.
B
You,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
you
know
today
is
the
anniversary
of
George
Floyd's,
Murder
By
on
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
and
in
light
of
that
Community
member,
some
of
whom
spoke
today
and
received
the
resolution
they're
going
to
be
gathering
at
George
Floyd
square
at
8pm
to
hold
a
candlelight
vigil
and
I,
encourage
my
colleagues
and
the
public
to
join
as
we
honor
the
Life
of
George
Floyd,
the
community
that
has
continued
to
uphold
his
life
in
the
value
that
it
had
in
our
community
before
Derek
Chavin
decided
to
exercise
Authority
in
taking
his
life
and
also
standing
with,
as
we
did
this
morning,
many
of
the
families
who
did
not
have
a
darnella
Frasier
in
their
life
that
recorded
their
murders
and
have
yet
to
receive
any
type
of
formal
justice.
B
So
that's
going
to
be
happening
to
Naya
George
for
a
square
from
8
to
10
p.m.
There's
also
going
to
be
a
rise
and
remember
a
festival
at
the
square
on
Saturday.
There's
just
numerous
opportunities
over
the
next
several
days
to
be
in
community
where
our
residents,
as
they
not
only
grieve
but
celebrate
the
Life
of
George
Floyd
and
dig
down
in
our
commitment
to
censoring
them
and
also
digging
down
the
commitment
to
not
continually
to
allow
the
pattern
of
Derek
chavins
to
exist
in
our
police
force.
B
So
I
want
to
hold
them,
particularly
in
light
on
this
day
and
hope
to
see
some
of
you
all.
There.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
wansley.
You
will
certainly
see
me
there,
as
those
events
are
happening
in
Ward,
8
and
so
I
was
going
to
actually
announce
those
events
myself.
So
thank
you,
I
appreciate
it.
I
I
will
just
note
that
June
is
pride
month
and
there
are
many
events
that
will
be
happening
celebrating
Pride,
including
the
pride
festival
which
will
be
held.
A
Sunday
June
25th
from
11
A.M
to
2,
P.M
and
I
am
working
on
trying
to,
along
with
Council
Barbara
Goodman
and
others,
to
ensure
that
the
city
council
can
have
a
a
dedicated
spot
in
that
parade,
and
so
please
stay
tuned
for
that.
Are
there
any
other
announcements.
A
Say
none.
We
have
completed
all
of
our
business
today
and
with
nothing
further
to
come
before
this
Council
and
without
objection.
This
meaning
is
adjourned.
