A
A
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Lynette
palmisano
and
I'm.
The
chair
of
Committee
of
the
whole
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
committee
meeting
for
Tuesday
September
19th.
We
have
a
long
agenda
and
for
those
that
are
watching
remotely,
we
have
a
number
of
people
in
the
room
here.
At
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
and
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
E
A
Colleagues,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
full
agenda
with
several
big
items
today:
I'd
like
to
pull
up
item
six
and
for
those
of
us
in
the
audience
who
are
here
for
item
six,
which
is
related
to
the
proposed
co-location
of
the
first
and
third
police
precincts
at
the
Century
Plaza
building,
which
you'll
recall,
was
referred
back
from
the
council
meeting
in
the
last
cycle
to
this
committee.
A
Our
last
formal
action
on
this
matter
was
to
authorize
the
location
of
the
first
police
precinct
at
Century
Plaza,
the
first
precinct
that
action
is
moving
forward.
The
more
recent
proposal
to
co-locate
the
third
precinct
at
the
same
site
has
generated
a
lot
of
concern
about
timeline,
costs,
pros
and
cons
of
that
approach
in
comparison
to
the
city's
long-term
vision
for
the
future,
with
respect
to
precincts
and
safety,
centers
or
hubs
that
might
be
created
and
might
be
operated
in
a
holistic
manner
that
would
best
serve
the
needs
of
our
community.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
issues
surrounding
the
third
precinct
and
we
are
in
the
midst
of
a
number
of
briefings
and
discussions,
and
we
are
clearly
not
in
a
position
to
resolve
those
today,
after
completing
a
series
of
briefings
for
Council
Members
since
our
last
council
meeting
I
think
what
is
abundantly
clear
is
that
the
majority
of
this
body
is
not
ready
to
advance
a
proposal
that
will
Garner
majority
support.
There
are
so
many
questions
well,
I
appreciate
that
the
mayor
Wishes
the
council
to
focus
on
the
options
that
have
been
presented.
A
Those
are
all
important
considerations
and
we
shouldn't
feel
rushed
into
making
quick
decisions
on
these
significant
matters.
If
any
of
my
colleagues
disagree,
I
will
reframe
my
intention
as
a
motion
to
be
considered
by
the
body
I'd
like
to
get
this
item
concluded.
So
the
committee
can
focus
its
attention
on
the
rest
of
our
agenda
today,
which
is
large
and
has
a
lot
of
other
important
discussions.
F
G
Yeah,
so
just
for
clarity,
you
have
made
a
motion.
A
I
could
reframe
this
as
a
motion,
if
you
would
like
me
to
do
so,
and
we
could
take
a
vote
on
it
if
there
are
objections
from
my
colleagues
about
this
proposal,
but
this
is
how
I
per
this
is.
How
I
have
heard
the
conversations
that
have
been
going
on
this
is
where
I
think
we're
ready
to
act
and
I
know.
We
are
in
an
urgent
position
to
need
to
know
how
we
don't
delay
the
relocation
of
the
first
precinct.
While
we
continue
to
have
these
conversations
about
the
Third.
G
I'm
really
confused
I
I,
don't
think
I've
been
a
part
of
any
of
these
broad
conversations
that
have
been
going
on
and
the
statement
that
you
read
indicates
that
there
has
been
consensus,
built
and
and
I'm,
not
sure
where
that
consensus
was
determined
or
how
it
was
determined.
G
G
A
Thank
you,
council
president.
We
applaud
your
leadership
and
that
was
a
unanimous
action
which
was
to
explore
a
third
way
to
explore,
not
relocating
a
third
precinct
at
Lake
in
Hiawatha,
not
choosing
the
second
location,
where
we
did
Community
engagement
of
26th
and
Hiawatha,
but
to
take
a
look
and
examine
this
third
way.
As
we
came
and
learned
more
details
about
the
third
precincts
co-location
with
the
first
precinct
and
what
those
costs
and
timeline
would
entail.
A
That's
when
we
started
to
that's
when
things
started
to
get
a
lot,
broader
I,
don't
think
it.
There
is
no
broad
consensus.
I
have
not
spoken
with
all
of
you
at
all,
but
from
the
briefings
as
I
understand
them
from
the
conversations
I
have
had
individually
with
other
council
members
think
as
far
as
we
will
be
able
to
get
to
today
in
this
item,
number
six,
which
is
about
the
third
precinct,
would
be
to
make
sure
that
we
ensure
that
the
first
precinct
doesn't
fall
off
of
a
timeline
of
relocation.
A
So
I
will
go
ahead
and
make
this
motion
and
then
I
see.
There
are
other
people
in
queue.
Also
wanting
to
speak.
I
move
to
reaffirm
the
council's
prior
decision
to
locate
the
first
police
precinct
at
Century
Plaza
into
postpone.
Further
consideration
of
the
existing
options
related
to
the
location
of
the
third
police
precinct
I
would
need
a
second
second.
H
So
we
have
a
long
agenda.
I
hope
we're
not
going
to
debate
this
endlessly.
I
put
my
name
in
try
to
try
to
respond
to
council
president
Jenkins
concern
that
we're
not
moving
forward
at
all.
What
we're
saying
is
we're
not
moving
forward
with
the
first
precinct
location
and
co-location,
because
it
wasn't
a
proposal
about
co-location.
Co-Location
means
sharing
of
all
of
the
things
to
bring
down
the
price.
This
was
like
building
two
precincts
in
one
building
and,
let
me
repeat,
two
floors
well
actually
and
then
a
third.
H
I
You,
madam
chair
and
I,
just
really
appreciate
the
emotion
and
agree
with
your
sentiment
around
Council
president
Jenkins
I
mean
I
applaud
her
for
bringing
forward
a
really
creative
solution
and
it
had
the
full
support
of
the
council
to
explore
it.
I
thought
it
made
sense
to
explore
it
and
we've
got
the
numbers
back.
We've
got
the
full
picture
now
and
like
councilmember
Goodman
I
do
not
support
30
million
dollars
10
years
zero
Community
engagement
by
the
way
around
this,
and
it's
supposed
to
be
a
temporary
solution.
I
I
I'm
saying
it
was
I
was
able
to
identify
another
site
that
can
work
as
well,
so
we've
got
multiple
options,
but
none
of
that
is
a
is,
is
negates
the
need
for
a
real
public
process
around
what
the
precinct
should
look
like
and
generally
where
it
should
be
located
in
the
community
and
all
of
the
other
work
that
we've
already
discussed.
That
I'm
glad
to
see,
for
instance,
our
chief
moving
forward
with
in
terms
of
his
engagement
sessions
and
I,
think
this
work
is
not
something
that
needs
to
take
a
year.
I
This
is
something
that
can
happen
over
the
coming
months
and
we
can
make
a
ton
of
progress
on
that
and
for
officers
who
are
currently
operating
out
of
a
temporary
location.
They
deserve
to
have
the
upgrades
updates
to
that
space
so
that
it
is
more
functional
for
them
and
is
able
to
better
meet
their
needs,
and
we
also
need
to
be
moving
forward
and
have
that
I
think
pressure
on
us
as
a
body
that
the
sitting
needs
the
pressure
on
it
in
order
to
continue
working
towards
a
permanent
home
in
the
third
precinct.
I
So
thank
you
for
the
motion
and
I
want
to
thank
council
president
again
for
bringing
forward
this.
It's
and
that's
what
we
need
frankly
on
this
and
other
issues
is
more
creative
ideas.
More
willingness
to
think
outside
the
box
try
to
bring
things
forward
and
you
know
what
we
explore
them
and
not
every
one
of
them
we're
going
to
move
forward
with,
but
we
need
more
of
that.
So
I
really
applaud
that.
Thank
you.
A
D
G
A
Thank
you.
That
item
carries
and
that's
as
far
as
we're
going
to
be
able
to
go
today
on
item
number
six,
so
coming
back
to
the
order
of
the
published
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
reports
from
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle,
there's
also
a
proposed
walk-on
from
council
member
wansley
related
to
a
gift
acceptance
council
member
wants
either
you
want
to
briefly
introduce
that
item.
Yes,.
F
Thank
you,
Council.
Vice
president
I
would
like
to
make
the
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
to
include
this
gift
acceptance.
We
weren't
able
to
get
it
to
Pogo,
because
one
Fair
wage
just
informed
me
about
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
Chicago
council
members
about
their
one
Fair
wage
proposal
and
also
recognizing
that
Minneapolis
has
been
a
one
Fair
wage
City
for
several
years
now
and
have
not
practiced
a
tip
credit
for
quite
some
time
being
able
to
speak
very
favorable
about
why
Chicago
should
move
forward.
F
So
we
just
got
informed
of
that
this
week,
so
we
was
advised
by
clerks
to
bring
this
gift
acceptance
to
Cal
in
light
of
not
being
able
to
get
it
through
to
Pogo
prior
to
agenda
setting.
So
that's
the
context
for
it
and
I'm
motion
to
add
it
to
the
agenda,
preferably
under
consent.
A
Thank
you
I'll,
second,
that
so
the
agenda
will
be
amended
to
add
this
matter
as
a
discussion
item
or
as
a
consent
item
on
our
agenda.
Madam.
A
I'm,
sorry,
as
a
consent
item
are
on
our
agenda
I'm,
not
seeing
any
further
discussion
on
this
so
on
the
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
and
approve
this
item
on
consent,
along
with
the
Minnesota
ballpark
Authority
appointment.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
I
I
any
opposed
that
carries
in
the
agenda
with
the
amended
motion
for
this
gift
acceptance,
as
well
as
the
Minnesota
ballpark
Authority
appointment
is
approved.
A
We'll
begin
with
our
well
I
apologize.
We've
done
that
now,
we'll
start
with
our
Truth
and
Reconciliation
update
clerk
am
I
in
the
right
place.
Do
we
want
to
talk
about
there's.
A
A
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
receive
and
file
that
item.
Our
next
item
is
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
update.
This
relates
to
a
proposed
high-level
overview
of
an
implementation
plan
for
Truth
and
Reconciliation,
including
deliverables
action
items
and
metrics
of
success
through
December
of
2023
I.
Believe
Robert
Sayers
from
the
Department
of
racial
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging
is
starting
off.
That
presentation
welcome
Mr
Sayers.
K
Good
afternoon,
chair,
Paul
Manzano,
president
Jenkins
and
committee
as
a
whole
I
actually
have
a
quick
introduction.
I
would
like
to
make
and
give
a
warm
welcome
to
our
new
director
of
racial
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
Prince
Corbett
who's
in
this
space
with
us
today,
but
I
wanted
to
introduce
him
and
I'm
going
to
be
introducing
Malaysia
Abdi.
Who
is
going
to
do
our
presentation
on
Truth
and
Reconciliation
today,
so
I
welcome,
Malaysia,
Abdi
who's,
a
program
manager
for
Truth
and
Reconciliation
and
Donis
chosa
who's.
A
L
L
L
Before
we
delve
into
the
progress
he
made
and
future
step
towards
a
Reconciliation
process,
it's
a
shameful
to
understand
how
we
got
here
in
October,
2020,
the
city
council,
Yan
and
the
Sleep
class
a
groundbreaking
resolution.
This
resolution
called
for
the
establishment
of
a
Truth
and
Reconciliation
work
group.
L
Their
mandate
was
to
explore
the
formation
of
a
Truth
and
Reconciliation
process
within
our
city,
with
a
particular
focus
on
creating
a
truth
or
Reconciliation
Commission
fast
forward
to
June
2021.
The
worker
presented
a
significant
update
to
this
Council
that
came
forward
with
recommendations
that
touched
upon
several
critical
elements
of
a
Truth
and
Reconciliation
process
in
Minneapolis.
I
will
share
a
high-level
overview
of
the
recommendations
on
the
next
slide.
L
Components
of
the
recommendation
included,
but
were
not
limited
to
creating
identity
definitions
and
a
focus
for
the
process.
The
work
group
examined
the
experiences
of
American
Indians
and
black
African
descendants.
They
drew
from
the
narratives
of
each
group's
historical
experiences
nationally
within
Minnesota
and
in
Minneapolis.
In
doing
so,
definitions
were
created
for
each
group.
Black
Africa
descendants
are
defined
as
people
whose
ancestors
were
brought
to
North
America
from
Africa
on
the
duress
of
enslavement.
Before
1865.
L
as
people,
we
have
suffered
physical,
psychological,
civil
and
social
harm
over
400
years
through
policies
that
harm
our
wealth
and
our
well-being.
Yet
still
we
want
to
know
who
will
pay
reparations
on
my
soul
as
Jill
Scott's.
Her
own
title
song
reminds
us
for
American
Indians.
The
City
of
Minneapolis
sits
on
the
land
Claim
by
the
U.S
under
an
unratified
treaty
with
Dakota
communities.
L
Many
people
are
unaware
that
indigenous
people
still
exist,
leading
to
biases
in
various
institutions,
including
the
court
and
other
government
bodies.
The
term
American
Indian
is
tied
to
the
federal
law
and
recognition
of
tribal
nation's
Sovereign
status,
but
it
doesn't
capture
their
Rich
history,
spiritual
significance
or
the
Deep
connection
to
this
land.
This
term
carries
a
complex
history
of
misidentification,
marginalization
and
Erasure
by
federal
government.
L
L
L
The
work
group
will
know
that
progress
towards
the
vision
is
taking
place
based
on
redress
and
reparations
on
the
account
of
harm
committed
against
American
Indians
and
black
African
descendants,
as
well
as
a
reduction
of
disparities
in
inequities
that
exist
because
of
this
harm.
It
is
only
when
these
things
are
in
place
that
reconciliation
can
ever
be
possible
evaluation
and
other
reporting
mechanisms
will
be
needed
to
establish
a
baseline
to
measure
the
city's
progress
on
meeting
these
things
over
time.
L
L
L
Although
the
city
convening
and
governing
the
commission
will
allow
for
a
stronger
position
for
the
commission
to
wield
the
City's
power
in
implementing
changes,
a
detriment
is
that
the
Enterprise
will
choose
to
do
the
absolute
minimum
to
meet
any
statutory
requirements.
Secondly,
outside
groups
will
not
have
the
power
to
have
the
city
change.
Therefore,
it
will
require
additional
work
to
ensure
the
community
trusts
the
city
govern
process.
L
The
work
group
felt
hiring
an
organization
to
govern.
The
commission
is
the
best
opportunity
to
engender
trust
from
the
community,
which
will
require
the
city
to
transfer
some
level
of
authority
to
the
commission
to
compel
the
city
to
be
responsible
and
accountable.
No
further
discussions
were
made
regarding
the
hybrid
option.
L
L
I
would
like
to
provide
a
high-level
overview
of
the
recommended,
essential
practices
that
are
vital
to
an
authentic
truth
or
reconciliation
process.
These
practices
have
been
carefully
designed
to
ensure
a
comprehensive
and
effective
approach
to
addressing
historical
injustices
and
fostering
healing
and
Reconciliation
within
our
community.
L
First
to
create
a
platform
for
healing
the
reconciliation
process
serves
as
a
platform
for
the
American
Indian
and
black
Africa
descendant
communities
to
openly
share
their
experiences
and
narratives
surrounding
traumatic
harm.
It
provides
a
safe
and
respectful
environment
where
these
communities
can
voice
their
stories,
which
are
often
marginalized
or
silenced.
L
Acknowledging
harm
and
accountability
essential
to
this
process
is
the
city's
public
recognition
of
past
harms.
This
recognition
goes
beyond
mere
acknowledgment.
It
includes
a
formal
and
public
apology.
Moreover,
it
entails
the
development
of
a
concrete
plan
that
allocates
dedicated
Financial
Resources
to
address
historical
injustices.
L
L
Lastly,
involving
perpetrators
and
institutions,
a
Hallmark
of
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission
is
the
inclusion
of
perpetrators
of
harm
institutions
and
individuals
and
positions
of
power.
These
stakeholders
must
actively
participate
in
the
truth-telling
process.
Furthermore,
they
are
expected
to
commit
to
reading
and
making
a
public
statement
regarding
the
findings
of
the
commission.
This
ensures
that
those
responsible
for
past
injustices
are
held
accountable
and
the
role
in
the
process
of
reconciliation
is
both
meaningful
and
transparent.
L
L
The
overall
goal
of
the
resolution
is
to
address
the
harms
that
have
perpetuated
racial
disparities
by
implementing
solutions
that
prioritize
black
African
descendants
and
American
Indians.
The
commission
will
interview
perpetrators
and
victims
to
understand
the
harm
inflicted
by
the
Minneapolis
city
government
against
black
Africa
descendants
and
American
Indian
communities
aiming
to
facilitate
reconciliation.
This
may
involve
policy,
budget
policy
and
budgetary
recommendations,
public
apologies
and
commitments
to
prevent
future
harm.
The
final
report
will
be
submitted
to
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
L
It
is
recommended
by
the
work
group
that
the
Minneapolis
commission
focuses
on
the
experiences
of
black
Africa
descendants
and
American
Indians
and
to
adhere
to
the
essential
practices
outlined
in
the
17-page
recommendation.
This
is
a
non-partisan.
This
is
a
non-partisan
commitment
to
Justice
accountability
and
healing.
We
urge
this
Enterprise
to
take
this
process
seriously
without
shortcuts
or
political
interference.
L
Committing
to
this
process,
both
financially
and
politically,
will
enable
our
city
to
collectively
chart
a
path
forward,
fostering
ownership
belonging
and
Civic
engagement
vice
president
palmisano
and
committee
members.
Up
until
this
point,
we
have
provided
you
with
a
comprehensive
overview
of
the
recommendations
crafted
by
the
work
group
over
the
course
of
eight
months.
These
recommendations
serves
as
a
foundational
framework
with
reflective,
extensive
research,
dialogue
and
Collective
wisdom.
So
I
would
like
to
thank
the
work
group
for
the
contributions
to
this
work.
L
L
Moving
on
to
November
2023
will
conduct
a
series
of
focus
groups.
This
step
is
vital,
as
it
will
help
us
gauge
our
residents,
awareness
and
understanding
of
historical
harms
and
a
truth
or
reconciliation
process
by
December
of
2023
we
will
have
conducted.
We
will
have
concluded
this
phase.
It
is
during
this
time
that
we
will
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
our
action
plan.
The
data
and
feedback
we
collect
throughout
this
process
will
be
instrumental
in
shaping
our
actions
for
the
year
2024.
L
L
These
stories,
experiences
and
perspectives
will
form
the
final
report
approaching
the
summer
of
2028.
The
commission
will
work
diligently
to
develop
a
presentation
of
their
final
report
to
the
city
council.
This
Presa.
This
presentation
will
represent
years
of
collected
testimonies
and
recommendations
for
redress.
L
L
In
our
Collective
Journey
towards
reconciliation,
investments
in
capacity
building
and
Communications
will
be
crucial
for
the
success
of
this
resolution.
These
Partnerships
are
not
merely
an
expense;
they
are
morally
imperative
and
strategic
for
five
distinct
reasons.
First,
expertise
and
credibility.
L
Reconciliation
and
Truth
telling
require
a
profound
understanding
of
historical
contexts,
cultural
nuances
and
trauma-informed
approaches.
External
organizations
bring
an
impartial
Outsider
perspective,
ensuring
message
carriers
receive
training
from
subject
matter,
experts
to
facilitate
difficult
and
triggering
conversations.
L
Secondly,
resource
efficiency.
While
our
internal
staff
are
committed
to
this
process,
we
must
recognize
the
unparalleled
value
that
an
external
organization
brings,
building
equivalent
expertise
in-house
would
be
resource
extensive
and
time
consuming.
Leveraging
external
expertise
allows
us
to
maximize
the
impact
of
our
resources,
while
benefiting
from
established
best
practices,
ensuring
efficient
use
of
taxpayer
funds,
Community,
resilience,
message,
carriers,
often
Community
leaders,
elders
and
youth-
possess
the
trust
and
credibility
needed
to
engage
residents
in
discussions
about
our
painful
history
and
a
path
towards
reconciliation.
L
Trust
is
a
precious
commodity
and
message
carriers
serve
as
a
force
multiplier.
Equipping
them
with
the
necessary
training
ensures
our
community
leads.
This
transformational
process,
fostering
authenticity
and
cultural
sensitivity
to
do
any
less
would
be
a
disservice
to
our
residents
and
a
missed
opportunity
to
harness
the
power
of
our
community's
most
trusted
voices.
L
L
Assessing
staff's
understanding
of
racism
and
racial
Equity
provides
insight
for
resource
allocation,
targeted
interventions
and
systemic
progress
tracking
progress.
Lastly,
narrative
change.
Our
City's
division
demands,
dismantling
divisive,
narratives,
storytelling
and
narrative
change
partner
will
craft
narratives
that
resonate
with
all
residents,
fostering
unity
and
empathy
by
finding
shared
truths.
This
investment
supports
a
continuous
communication
campaign
that
builds
transparency
and
Trust
over
the
long
term.
L
In
conclusion,
these
strategic
Partnerships
represent
the
required
investment
in
expertise,
Community
resilience,
data-driven
decision
making
and
narrative
change.
The
rationale
for
these
Partnerships
stems
from
the
essential
practices
recommended
by
the
work
group
and
is
responsive
to
the
state
of
our
city
and
Resident
needs.
L
The
retention
of
dedicated
Truth
and
Reconciliation
program
managers
is
their
Strategic
investment
in
guiding
our
city.
Through
this
process.
These
managers
will
ensure
that
the
commission's
efforts
are
methodical,
impactful
and
reflect
our
shared
vision.
The
retention
of
program
managers
showcases
our
commitment
to
the
commission's
success.
Beyond
political
Cycles,
instilling
confidence
within
our
residents.
L
At
the
core
of
this
work
lies
a
critical
component
capacity
building,
as
stated
by
the
work
group
for
the
first
time
in
history,
a
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission
will
address
two
distinct
communities:
black
African
descendants
and
American
Indians.
Cross-Cultural
learning
will
create
Dynamic
learning
spaces
for
histories
to
be
recognized,
building
power
within
and
across
communities.
This
pillar
is
Paramount
in
advancing
a
shared
understanding
of
a
Reconciliation
process.
L
Their
profound
impact
and
the
integral
role
of
stakeholders
in
addressing
historical
Harms
by
building
capacity
will
level
the
playing
field
allowing
stakeholders
to
engage
in
the
process
on
equal
footing.
Without
a
doubt,
increasing
capacity
contributes
to
the
enduring
success
of
this
resolution
through
skill
building
and
knowledge
sharing,
we
build
a
foundation
of
resilience
and
unity,
safeguarding
our
community
against
future
injustices.
L
L
Transparency
is
the
Cornerstone
to
trust
in
government,
as
you
all
may
know,
on
July
17,
2023,
racial
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging,
and
the
health
department
administered
an
enterprise-wide
racial
Equity
survey.
The
survey
was
intended
to
provide
a
data-driven
approach
for
inform
recommendations
and
departmental
work
to
embed
racial
Equity
across
the
Enterprise.
L
We
have
received
close
to
1
764
responses
and
based
on
some
of
the
responses.
It
is
evident
that
this
Enterprise
has
deep
rooted
work
to
do
to
rectify,
pass
and
current
wrongs,
foreign
establishing
a
shared
understanding
with
residents.
The
success
of
this
process
hinges
on
the
active
involvement
and
support
of
our
residents.
Establishing
a
shared
understanding
with
residents
is
fundamental
to
engagement
and
the
process
through
focus
groups.
We
create
access
points
for
residents
to
actively
participate,
to
influence
the
process
and
to
share
their
stories
with
dignity.
L
Lastly,
collecting
feedback:
this
process
must
be
rooted
in
the
unique
needs
and
perspectives
of
Minneapolis
residents.
Collecting
resident
feedback
ensures
that
our
approach
is
community-led,
creating
a
safe
space
for
residents
to
provide
input,
Fosters
inclusivity
and
belonging.
Ensuring
that
those
who
have
been
most
harmed
are
heard
and
respected.
L
Feedback
from
these
residents
from
our
residents
is
instrumental
in
shaping
an
effective
reconciliation
process
that
resonates
with
residents
and
is
reflected
in
their
lived
experiences.
This
will
assist
with
developing
new
storytelling
strategies
that
will
enable
us
to
challenge
dominant
narratives
to
promote
a
more
accurate
understanding
of
our
shared
history.
L
The
2023
budget
allocations
is
not
just
appropriate:
it
exemplifies
a
Strategic
investment
in
LA
in
the
launch
of
a
Reconciliation
process
that
demands
sustained
dedication.
Each
line
item
within
the
budget
serves
a
distinct
purpose.
Refining
the
process
is
scope
and
enhancing
capacity,
both
within
our
organization
and
externally.
L
Given
the
estimated
seven-year
timeline
for
this
process,
communication
efforts
take
precedent
as
top
priority.
We
recognize
the
immense
responsibility
we
bear
as
stewards
of
public
funds.
By
tying
our
financial
investments
directly
to
outcomes,
we
can
ensure
that
the
funds
are
utilized
in
a
manner
that
allows
with
that
aligns.
With
our
commitment
to
accountability
and
transparency,
we
will
closely
monitor
the
progress
and
pursuit
of
the
desired
outcomes,
while
proactively
mitigating
potential
harms
and
adhering
to
the
procurement
process.
L
L
L
L
Vice
president
palmisano
and
committee
members
I
want
to
express
my
deepest
gratitude
for
your
time,
commitment
and
engagement
in
this
important
conversation
about
Truth
and
Reconciliation
As
Leaders
of
our
city.
You
hold
the
power
to
guide
us
towards
a
future
that
honors
the
lived
experiences
of
black
Africa
descendants
and
American
Indian
communities
and
to
repair
the
harm
caused
by
this
Enterprise
in
the
spirit
of
reconciliation.
I
encourage
each
of
you
to
reflect
on
what
this
Enterprise
is
truly
willing
to
reconcile.
L
Let
us
be
brave
enough
to
face
our
shared
history
and
work
together
to
heal
the
wounds
that
still
linger.
Let
us
lead
with
openness,
curiosity
and
integrity,
sending
an
example
for
all
residents
to
follow.
We
have
reached
out
to
each
office
to
offer
individual
meetings
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
you
to
seek
Clarity
and
ask
questions
together.
We
have
the
power
to
make
an
impact
on
our
city
that
could
be
revolutionary.
L
Minneapolis
has
been
a
global
leader
for
racial
Reckoning,
so
Why
Stop
Now.
Let
us
embark
on
this
path
with
courage,
determination
and
compassion,
knowing
that
the
Legacy
we
create
today
will
shape
the
future
of
our
city
for
generations
to
come
as
I
reflect
on
my
time
in
this
position,
I
have
been
pushed
in
ways.
I
couldn't
imagine
I
trust
that
each
of
you
will
make
the
right
decision
and
I
stand
here
to
ask
you
to
not.
M
G
G
I
am
thrilled
to
see
this
presentation
as
the
author
of
the
original
ordinance
that
created
this
resolution,
I'm
sorry
that
created
this
work
group
and
sat
through
each
and
every
one
of
those
meetings
for
eight
months,
because
our
Society
our
city,
this
Enterprise
has
deep
systemic
racism
at
its
core,
and
that
is
the
work
that
we
have
to
root
out
as
a
community,
and
we
can't,
as
you
so
eloquently
stated
in
your
presentation,
we
can't
apologize
for
what
we
don't
know
right.
G
So
we
have
to
have
the
truth,
and
you
know
one
thing
that
there
there
is
truth
and
there
is
reconciliation,
but
in
between
that
there
has
to
be
some
recompense
before
we
can
reconcile,
and
so
that
is
inherent
in
a
Truth
and
Reconciliation
process.
G
Though
I
know,
our
neighbors
in
Saint
Paul
have
explicitly
stated
that
they
are
creating
a.
G
I'm
sorry,
my
brain
is
maybe
a
little
foggy
right
now,
but
they
are
creating
a
somebody
help
me
with
the
word:
it's
a
reparations
committee.
Thank
you.
Prince
I
appreciate
that
Mr
Corbett
director
of
orbit,
and
so
as
we
think
about
these
Commissioners
as
we
go
through
this
process.
G
G
So
thank
you
both
for
this
presentation
and
you
know
even
more
directly
thank
you
for
involving
yourselves
in
this
work
as
African
African-American
as
Native
Americans.
We're
not
only
in
leading
this
work,
but
we
have
been
directly
impacted
by
these
systems
of
Oppression
and
racism
and
so
to
step
into
that
work
with
those
experiences
is.
G
A
challenge
that
must
be
recognized
and
understood
as
well,
so
thank
you
for
being
willing
to
step
into
this
space
and
help
to
lead
this
process,
while
still
dealing
with
the
oppressive
systemic
racism,
that
is,
the
United
States
of
America.
So
with
that,
I'll
save
my
time.
F
Thank
you,
Cheryl
palmisano,
just
a
couple,
quick
questions
in
terms
of
the
message
carriers,
just
knowing
we
have
something
somewhere
in
the
comms
Department
called
influencers
that
received
a
lot
of
criticism,
but
had
the
same
idea
of
and
granted,
it
was
tied
towards
the
Derek
Chavin
trial,
I
believe,
but
the
idea
that
we
would
have
credible,
Community
leaders
come
out
and
share
and
host
meetings
to
make
sure
information
was
being
shared
accurately
and
again,
knowing
that
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
very
little
trust
right
now
in
the
public.
F
So,
let's
you
know
work
with
those
who
do
so
much
pushback
on
that,
though,
of
saying
putting
the
city
basically
using
folks
in
the
community
who
do
have
credibility
because
they
show
up
for
their
neighbors
in
an
authentic
way,
using
them
as
Shields,
so
I'm
interested
in
knowing
are
there
some
intentional
thought
process
processes
that
you
all
as
program
managers
or
our
eib
have
considered
and
making
sure
we're
not
setting
up
message:
Carriage,
Carriers
and
kind
of
a
similar
predicament
that
the
quote-unquote
influencers
experience
via
the
comms
Communications
Department
kind
of
roll
out.
M
We
discussed
quite
a
bit
is
making
sure
that
we're
not
you
know
just
getting
information
from
the
community,
but
what
we
really
want
to
do
is
really
ensure
that
we're
using
their
voices
so
that
it
can
help
us
really
inform
that
commission
and
what
the
what
they
What
the
residents
believe
will
be
beneficial
for
them.
When
it
comes
to
creating
commission
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
add
to
that.
L
Yeah
I
would
just
like
to
add
thank
you
for
mentioning
that
and
we'll
be
sure
to
look
at
how
things
have
happened
in
the
past,
just
to
make
sure
that
they
don't
happen
in
the
future.
But
thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention.
Council,
member
and.
F
Also
I
was
just
glad
that,
having
a
very
open
and
transparent
selection
process
for
the
message
carriers,
because
I
also
believe
with
the
influencers
process,
it
was
not
a
democratic
process,
but
more
so
Hand
selected
Community
leaders
that
everyone
has
their
own.
You
know
reputations
out
in
the
community,
so
just
making
sure
that
there
is
a
democratic
and
transparent
process
in
which
carriers
are
being
selected.
F
My
next
question-
and
this
might
actually
be
more
relevant
for
our
interim
coo,
but
you
mentioned
the
building-
was
it
building
a
more
anti-racist
Minneapolis
employee
survey
that
was
carried
out
over
the
summer
I?
Don't
believe
this
body
has
received
any
follow-up
or
information
about
the
results
from
that
survey?
Do
you
all
know
if
that's
if
it's
finalized,
it
sounds
like?
F
There
has
been
some
data
assessment
points
that
you
reference
from
the
report
and
it
seems
like
it
would
be
very
helpful
for
this
bodies
also
be
able
to
maybe
get
a
receiving
file
of
that
report.
K
Council,
member
onesie
that
that's
correct,
the
survey
has
happened.
We
are
gathering
Gathering
and
collecting
data.
We
did
get
a
really
strong
response
with
1700
folks
responding
and
things
are
all
over
the
board.
However,
we
want
we
before
we
re,
we
report
out
on
it.
K
K
They
are
currently
going
through
all
of
the
responses,
a
number
of
which
that
again
are
on
polar
opposite
ends
of
response.
For
the
most
part,
we
had
a
very,
very
positive
feedback
and
response
from
the
employees
across
the
Enterprise,
a
number
of
which
that
really
supported
the
survey
happening,
but
we
also
have
a
number
of
employees
across
the
Enterprise
that
were
in
the
polar
opposite
end
and
wanting
to
be
pulled
off
of
the
all
employee,
email
lists
and
everything.
A
J
Good
afternoon
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
as
indicated,
my
name
is
Casey.
Carl
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
a
city
clerk
I'm
joined
today
by
assistant,
City
attorney,
Andrea
Neff
and,
as
the
chair
indicated,
we're
here
to
present
a
series
of
proposed
policy
reforms
related
to
The,
Creation,
Administration
and
operation
of
the
city's
appointed
boards
and
commissions,
which
we
often
collectively
refer
to
as
the
city's
ABCs.
J
Today,
the
city
has
a
total
of
approximately
57
different
appointed
boards
and
commissions.
These
bodies
address
a
variety
of
Municipal
topics
that
range
from
aging
to
the
Arts,
from
environmental
and
sustainability
issues,
housing,
Workforce,
Development
to
Public,
Health
and
even
land
use
and
Zoning,
to
name
just
a
few.
In
your
briefing
materials,
you
should
find
a
copy
of
the
draft
ordinance,
as
well
as
a
full
report
that
captures
the
history
and
scope
of
this
work.
That
covers
more
than
the
past
decade.
J
I'd
like
to
start
by
expressing
my
appreciation
to
president
Jenkins
Who
is
the
primary
sponsor
of
this
reform.
As
noted
in
the
report,
this
work
began
in
Earnest
back
in
2009
under
then
Council
vice
president
lilgren.
It
continued
in
subsequent
Council
terms,
with
leadership
from
former
Council
vice
president
Glidden
and
then
last
term
with
then
Council
vice
president
Jenkins,
and
in
the
most
recent
term,
of
course,
as
president
taking
sponsorship
of
the
ordinance,
Ms,
Neff
and
I
will
be
covering
the
details
of
the
draft
ordinance.
J
However,
at
a
conceptual
level,
I
wanted
to
draw
your
attention
to
some
of
the
principles
that
are
expressed
in
the
first
section
of
the
ordinance
and
what
you'll
see
there
is
that
we've
identified
the
principles
of
openness
and
partiality,
competitive,
Recruitment
and
Equity
as
a
means
of
guiding
the
city's
work
with
respect
to
its
boards
and
commissions.
The
proposed
reforms
seek
to
create
a
consistent,
predictable
and
transparent
framework
within
which
boards
are
created.
Members
are
appointed
and
boards
and
commissions
operate
in
their
public
meetings.
J
All
done
in
an
alignment
with
these
overarching
principles
before
we
get
into
the
details.
I'd
also
like
to
provide
some
context
for
today's
presentation.
Council
will
recall
that
this
ordinance
was
reintroduced
at
the
beginning
of
this
term.
That
was
last
January
and
I
noted
council
president
has
assumed
authorship,
but
that
this
work
has
been
going
for
more
than
a
decade
when
it
was
reintroduced.
This
proposal
was
referred
to
the
council's
policy
and
government
oversight
committee,
which
has
General
jurisdiction
over
the
subject
of
appointed
boards
and
commissions.
It
has
remained
in
that
committee's
position
since
then.
J
After
the
conclusion
of
today's
presentation,
the
matter
will
be
before
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee,
and
we
would
anticipate
the
committee
would
set
the
date
for
a
public
hearing
on
the
ordinance
in
a
future
cycle.
Following
that
public
hearing,
then
the
committee
would
have
the
opportunity
to
Perfect
The
Proposal
through
the
regular,
regular
amendatory
process
before
submitting
its
recommendation
to
the
full
Council
and
I'll
cover
more
of
those
timeline
issues
at
the
conclusion
of
the
presentation,
but
I
wanted
to
explain
why
we
are
presenting
this
to
the
committee
of
the
whole.
J
Today,
the
city's
appointed
boards
and
commissions
or
ABC's
play
a
vital
role
in
community
engagement,
in
my
opinion,
I
think
they
offer
one
of
the
most
visible
ways
for
the
public
to
meaningfully
participate
in
the
city's
decision-making
processes.
This
slide
describes
some
of
the
ways
that
are
more
common
for
boards
and
commissions
to
engage
in
the
work
of
the
city
Enterprise
so,
for
example,
boards
and
commissions
do
assist
in
formulating
public
policy
and
in
transforming
policy
into
action
plans.
J
They
provide
a
forum
to
address
public
interest
in
Community
Affairs,
to
build
consensus
on
issues
and
to
allow
the
public
to
address
specific
proposals.
They
study
a
variety
of
issues
referred
to
them.
They
review
and
analyze
proposals,
and
they
make
recommendations
on
specific
subject
matters
and
finally,
they
help
to
oversee
and
provide
input
on
the
delivery
of
government
projects
and
programs,
no
matter
how
they
might
be
created,
no
matter
what
they
might
be
called
all
of
the
city's
boards
and
commissions
share
a
few
factors
in
common.
J
J
Every
commission,
Advisory
Board
working
group,
Etc,
that's
created
by
the
mayor
in
the
council,
is
charged
with
helping
the
city
to
plan
the
future
of
the
community
and
that
work
is
highly
prioritized
by
elected
officials
still
with
the
various
forms
that
these
bodies
can
and
do
take
combined
with
many
factors
that
impact
their
performance,
including
applicable
laws,
policies
and
political
preferences.
Each
board
and
commission
is
in
many
ways
unique
and
just
as
no
two
cities
are
exactly
alike.
J
Over
the
past
two
decades,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
attempted
to
maximize
the
value
of
its
boards
and
commissions,
recognizing
the
benefit
these
bodies
create
for
engagement,
for
participation
and
for
the
advancement
of
core
tenets
of
local
democracy.
The
various
initiatives
and
programs
that
have
been
Advanced
during
the
past
20
years
can
very
broadly
be
divided
into
two
streams
of
work.
First
programs
and
initiatives
aimed
at
diversifying
representation
in
ABC
memberships,
so
that
the
members
better
reflect
the
multiple
communities
that
make
up
the
city.
J
While
significant
attention
has
been
paid
to
the
first
stream
of
work
with
successes
reported
on
a
regular
basis
to
this
body,
less
attention
has
been
paid
to
the
behind
the
scenes
work
involved
in
administering
the
day-to-day
functions
of
boards
and
commissions.
Therefore,
in
response
to
long-standing
directives
from
Council
staff
is
finally
bringing
forward
those
proposed
policy
reforms
that
are
intended
to
standardize
policies,
Implement
uniform
procedures
and
ensure
consistent
operations
of
all
of
the
boards
and
commissions
across
the
Enterprise.
J
In
the
next
section
of
the
presentation,
we'll
highlight
the
policy
reforms
that
are
included
in
the
draft
ordinance
for
ease
of
reference.
You'll
find
a
list
of
all
of
those
proposals,
starting
on
page
18
of
the
full
report.
In
your
briefing
materials,
that
section
is
labeled
summary
of
Reform
proposals,
and
it
includes
a
numbered
list
from
1
to
11..
J
So
this
slide
then
summarizes
all
of
our
reforms
into
some
very
large
categories.
Miss
Neff
is
going
to
go
over
each
of
these
in
a
bit
more
detail
in
just
a
minute
before
I
turn
the
podium
over
to
her
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
describe
these
in
very
general
terms.
First
and
foremost,
the
centerpiece
of
our
policy
reforms
is
the
creation
of
a
classification
system
for
boards
and
commissions.
J
This
proposed
classification
system
is
important
so
that
the
city's
elected
policy
makers
can
more
discreetly
create
direct
and
control
the
work
of
specific
boards
and
commissions
by
type
and
to
adopt
policies
that
would
apply
to
boards
and
commissions,
according
to
their
classification.
Currently
Minneapolis
does
not
have
a
classification
for
boards
and
commissions.
So,
as
a
result,
any
policies
related
to
boards
and
commissions
must
either
apply
generally
to
all
of
our
boards
and
commissions.
J
Equally
or
a
policy
must
be
specifically
tailored
to
address
the
needs
of
a
single
body
of
the
city's
57
different
boards
and
commissions.
The
proposed
classification
system
would
simplify
policy
making
with
respect
to
the
boards
and
commissions
and
enable
them
to
be
placed
into
a
category
determined
by
a
combination
of
factors.
J
Three,
the
scope
of
authority,
that's
delegated
to
an
exercise
to
buy
the
body
and,
finally,
fourth,
the
general
functions
or
responsibilities
of
the
body.
The
proposed
ordinance
also
reaffirms
the
city's
long-standing
commitment
to
its
open
appointments
policy,
which
was
first
adopted
in
1976
and
clarifies
those
procedures
and
also
reaffirms
the
roles
and
responsibilities
of
council
and
mayor
as
the
city's
appointing
authorities.
J
The
proposed
ordinance
also
establishes
service
expectations
and
service
restrictions
for
individuals
appointed
to
boards
and
commissions.
These
expectations
and
restrictions
are
intended
together
to
reinforce
the
premise
that
the
ability
to
serve
and
contribute
to
the
city's
decision-making
requires
opportunity.
So
these
service
expectations
and
restrictions
are
intended
to
ensure
that
those
opportunities
are
available
for
the
broadest
section
of
the
community
as
possible.
J
The
ordinance
also
designates
the
city
clerk
as
the
executive
secretary
to
all
boards
and
commissions,
unless
provided
otherwise
by
some
applicable
law.
This
allows
the
city
clerk
to
set
and
enforce
consistent
standards
for
the
operation
of
boards
and
commissions
the
conduct
of
meetings,
regardless
of
classification
and
similar
functions.
J
The
ordinance
provides
for
a
standard
set
of
bylaws
and
meeting
rules
that
could
be
customized
as
necessary.
With
pre-approval
from
the
council
and
finally
in
recognition
for
the
need
for
greater
alignment
between
Enterprise
goals
and
priorities
that
are
set
by
the
mayor
and
Council,
the
proposed
ordinance
would
require
that
certain
ABCs
submit
annual
work
plans
to
identify
the
work,
that's
aligned
with
City
goals
and
priorities,
as
well
as
well
as
a
year-end
report
detailing
their
accomplishments
against
those
goals.
J
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
assistant,
City
attorney
Neff
as
I
said,
and
invite
her
to
provide
a
more
detailed
summary
of
the
specific
Provisions
in
the
draft
ordinance
and
again
as
she
moves
through
her
presentation.
A
copy
of
that
full
draft
ordinance
is
included
for
your
reference
under
exhibit
a.
G
Yeah
no
I,
just
thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
comments
before
we
hear
from
Ms
Neff
I
want
to
thank
Council
I,
mean
I'm,
sorry,
clerk
Carl
for
your
persistence
and
diligence
in
this
matter,
which
you
noted
it
has
been
through
multiple
terms
on
the
council.
G
You
mentioned
two
of
my
former
bosses
and
and
I
worked
on
these
issues
as
a
policy
Aid
I
do
want
to
say
that,
throughout
all
this
time
we
have
made
several
improvements
to
the
process,
including
diversifying
boards
and
commissions,
which
was
a
very
sore
Point.
Prior
to
this
work
also,
we
have
coordinated
the
appointment
times
and
the
application
times.
G
You
know
in
Prior
years,
all
the
boards
and
commissions
would
have
different
application
processes,
Etc
and
we've
sort
of
system
systematized.
That,
and
so
this
is
a
culmination
of
many
years
of
work,
but
also
many
years
of
improvement
to
this
process
as
well
and-
and
this
will
be
probably
not
the
final
step,
because
process
Improvement
has
to
be
continuous.
However,
it
would
be
a
very
important
aspect
to
the
Improvement
of
our
boards
and
commissions
and
including
City
residents
in
the
decision
making
of
its
city
government.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
I,
promisano,
just
quick
or
Carl.
Are
there
currently
guidelines
that
are
established
for
defining
what
inactive
means
in
terms
of
that
Clause
of
sun
setting?
You
know
inactive
ABCs.
J
Through
the
chair,
councilor
wansley,
we
don't
have
an
official
definition
of
an
inactive
board
within
limbs.
We
do
have
a
section
of
inactive
boards,
meaning
boards
that
haven't
met
either.
They
have
no
members,
they
don't
have
enough
members
to
form
a
quorum,
they
haven't
had
meetings,
and
so
we've
moved
them
into
a
category
of
inactive.
J
N
N
First
attending
to
sections
10,
20
and
10
40.,
these
address,
ABC
creation
and
classification
classification
system
is
the
heart
of
this
proposed
reform.
Ordinance.
Section
1020
establishes
a
five-tier
classification
system
that
will
group
our
existing
boards
and
commissions
into
five
groups
generally
based
upon
their
enabling
legislation,
their
purpose,
their
level
of
authority,
and
that
will
enable
us
going
forward
to
have
policies
that
apply
to
certain
types
of
groups,
but
not
to
all
groups
or
not
to
other
groups.
N
So
that
really
does
form
the
the
heart
of
this
this
beginning
of
more
reforms
that
will
make
our
internal
processes
more
streamlined
in
the
future.
N
And
if
you
are
curious
about
how
any
particular
group
is
classified
into
this
five-tier
system.
As
clerk
Carl
referenced,
there
is
a
reform
ordinance
report
that
was
attached
to
the
materials
for
this
meeting
toward
the
end
in
exhibit
B.
It
lists
each
of
our
current
boards
and
commissions
and
how
they
would
be
classified
into
the
tier
system
going
forward.
N
Part
of
part
of
this
ordinance
that
we're
proposing
will
then
begin
applying
that
tier
system,
because
the
majority
of
those
reforms
will
apply
immediately
to
tiers
three
and
four,
some
also
to
tears
to
tier
two,
because
these
things
apply
differently
to
different
types
of
bodies.
N
The
ordinance
also
identifies
the
details
that
will
be
required
to
create
a
new
ABC,
including
listing
its
purpose,
its
Authority.
What
topics
it
it
is
dedicated
to
with
some
specificity
and
that
the
purpose
of
giving
each
group
a
specific
type
of
authority
is
so
that
we
know
that
what
they're
doing
and
they're
not
all
doing
the
same
thing.
Or
you
know
it
will
give
us
a
level
of
stability
that
we
have
not
previously
had
in
our
the
creation
of
our
ABCs.
N
The
ordinance
also
provides
there
will
be
a
regular
review
process
every
three
years
where
information
is
brought
before
the
city
council
to
advise
you
as
to
whether
what
these
groups
are
doing,
whether
they're
continuing
to
provide
value
to
the
city.
If
not,
what
adjustments
might
be
made
so
that
they
can
continue
to
be
valuable
to
the
city
and
to
achieve
your
objectives
and
then,
finally,
to
council,
member
wansley's
previous
question.
N
It
does
provide
for
automatic
sun
setting
of
ABCs
when
those
groups
are
not
otherwise
required
by
law
and
they
haven't
convened
a
meeting
for
24
months.
So
this
is
not
going
to
automatically
get
rid
of
anything.
That
is
continuing,
but
merely
provides
a
method
of
us
cleaning
up
the
books,
no
longer
having
groups
that
just
are
no
longer
meeting
or
no
longer
interested
in
meeting.
N
Moving
on
to
several
additional
sections
of
the
ordinance,
specifically
10
50
through
1080.,
these
do
address
ABC,
Recruitment
and
appointment
and
section
1050
will
look
very
familiar
to
this
group
as
it
is
our
open
appointments
to
process
very,
very
similar
to
what
currently
exists
in
chapter
14.180.
So
the
open
appointments
process
is
not
going
away.
It
is
being
picked
up
and
moved
from
chapter
14
to
chapter
10.
and
those
that
currently
use
this
process
will
continue
to
do
so.
You'll
see
that
it
remains
substantively
unchanged
in
terms
of
how
we
will
do
those
appointments.
N
Traditionally,
under
this
new
ordinance,
appointments
will
be
made
for
consistent,
defined
terms,
which
are
tracked
to
the
seats
for
each
body
and
not
to
the
individual
that
holds
that
seat,
and
this
provides
for
consistency
when
the
membership
changes,
the
seat
isn't
constantly.
The
term
isn't
constantly
changing
with
the
individual.
N
These
sections
also
provide
for
certain
onboarding
and
orientation
requirements
following
appointment,
but
prior
to
beginning
work
on
the
ABC.
Each
member
must
complete
orientation,
including
ethics,
education,
which
is
currently
required,
but
often
not
attended
to
immediately,
and
this
will
provide
that
it
must
be
attended
to
before
service
on
the
border.
Commission
signing
an
oath
of
office
again
required
by
state
law,
but
this
provides
consistency
and
Clarity
that
it
will
happen
right
away
and
then
signing
a
participant
agreement
to
ensure
that
everyone
is
on
the
same
page
about
our
expectations
of
our
board
and
commission
members.
N
N
N
N
Members
who
are
seeking
elective
office
must
take
a
leave
of
absence
while
they
campaign
and
finally,
no
City
elected
officials
or
current
members
of
our
staff
can
hold
seats
on
a
body
unless
otherwise
required
by
law.
As
there
are
a
couple
situations
where
the
law
requires
that
the
seat
be
held
by
a
current
city
council
member,
for
example-
and
this
does
not
mean
that
our
staff
won't
be
involved
in
any
way.
Instead,
what
it?
N
What
it
means
is
those
voting
seats
are
reserved
for
members
of
the
community,
and
it
is
anticipated
that
the
staff,
the
staff
members,
would
continue
to
be
assigned.
As
part
of
their
duties
to
attend
meetings
to
provide
logistical
support
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
without
taking
a
membership
a
seat
on
the
on
the
group
away
from
the
community
members.
N
Section
10
100
does
establish
some
requirements
for
consistency
of
ABC
meetings
where
this
is
applicable.
Abcs
will
abide
by
a
consistent
set
of
bylaws
and
rules
which
will
be
brought
before
the
city
council
for
approval
before
they
apply
now.
Any
group
that
to
which
this
section
applies,
which
has
a
business
need
to
have
an
exception
from
those
rules,
could
then
bring
a
request
for
an
exception
also
before
this
body
to
say
hey.
This
is
why
this
section
doesn't
work
for
us.
N
N
This
section
also
provides
that,
as
is
currently
the
case,
ABCs
will
adopt
a
schedule
of
regular
meetings
which
will
be
posted
online
so
that
the
public
is
fully
informed
of
where
and
when
they're
meeting
special
meetings
are
permitted
with
three
days,
public
notice
and
then
finally,
similar
to
requirements
that
we
currently
have
ABC
meetings
must
be
open
to
the
public.
They
must
be
conducted
in
government-owned
buildings
and
the
facilities
in
which
they're
located
must
be
ADA
Compliant
again,
because
these
are
public
meetings.
We
want
the
public
to
be
fully
able
to
attend
and
participate.
N
Ordinance
section
1090
designates
the
city
clerk
as
the
young
executive
secretary
for
ABC's,
unless
otherwise
provided
by
law
in
that
enabling
legislation
for
the
body
and
in
that
capacity,
the
city
clerk
is
responsible
for
administering
the
process
of
the
open
appointments.
Obviously
you
are
the
appointing
authorities,
along
with
the
mayor's
office,
but
the
process
is
is
to
be
overseen
by
the
clerk.
N
The
clerk
will
also
ask
the
executive
secretary,
maintain
official
rosters,
ensure
that
required,
notices
and
meetings
are
notices
of
meetings
are
given
oversee
record,
keeping
such
as
making
sure
that
there
are
minutes
making
sure
that
agendas
are
posted
and
otherwise
making
sure
that
records
are
kept
as
required
by
law.
Additionally.
N
The
clerk
as
executive
secretary
were
a
plan
and
conduct
the
ABC
orientation
program
and
provide
Operational
Support
to
the
staff,
and
this,
of
course,
is
without
exclusion
to
the
staff
supporting
each
body
providing
additional
training,
which
it's
anticipated,
that
that
would
continue
occurring
and
would
be
highly
encouraged.
But
this
will
ensure
that
there's
a
minimum
initial
level
of
Ed
of
education
for
each
new
ABC
member
or
returning
ABC
member
about
what
the
roles
of
boards
and
commissions
are.
N
And
then,
finally,
ordinance
the
ordinance
sections,
1090
and
10
110
provide
for
the
city
council
and
the
mayor's
office
to
receive
far
more
regular
reports
than
has
been
currently
the
practice
to
a
lot
ensure
that
each
of
these
bodies
is
aligning
itself
with
City
goals
and
priorities.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
One
of
the
provisions
named
in
your
presentation
is
around
the
requirement
to
hold
host
a
meeting
at
a
city-owned
property.
C
C
One
of
their
theories
of
accessibility,
Beyond
ADA
compliance
is
where
the
meetings
are
held
and
they
would
like
the
opportunity
to
host
those
meetings
in
community
on
occasion
and
I'm
concerned
I'm
a
concerned
about
whether
or
not
the
language
and
I
haven't
gotten
a
chance
to
read
fully
the
language.
If
that
excludes
that
opportunity
or
if
there
might
be
a
provision
for
an
exception,
given
some
parameters
but
the
other
piece
to
that
as
well,
which
it
might
be
less
of
a
ordinance
language,
conversation
and
more
of
a
budget
conversation.
C
But
it
could
be
a
number
of
things,
but
the
ability
to
participate
remotely
or
in
a
hybrid
setting
and
I
know
that
part
of
that
is
from
like
a
facilities,
AV
Equipment
capacity
perspective,
but
I'm
wondering
if
what
what
I
don't
want
to
do
is
have
the
ordinance
language
exclude
those
future
possibilities,
whether
it's
a
hybrid
option
or
a
meeting
in
community
that
is
ADA
Compliant.
N
Chair
of
palmisano
and
council
member
thanks
for
those
questions,
I'll
address
them
separately,
because
I
think
you've
asked
two
separate
but
related
questions.
First,
as
to
the
feedback
that
that
ABC,
staffers
and
members
would
like
to
meet
other
than
in
City
Hall.
N
For
example,
we
have
expanded
the
language
of
the
ordinance
from
additional
initial
drafts,
which
said
that
the
meetings
would
take
place
in
city-owned
facilities,
and
it
now
reads
that
they
will
take
place
in
government
owned
or
leased
facilities,
and
that
opens
things
up
in
a
couple
different
possible
ways,
while
still
maintaining
control
of
making
sure
our
meetings
are
inappropriate.
Places
first
government
owned
would
expand
this
to
including
things
like
the
libraries
or
the
schools,
obviously
assuming
that
they
they
are
amenable
to
that.
N
N
N
If
that
was
the
desire
of
the
staff
working
in
conjunction
with
the
facilities
staff
to
do
that,
so
it
it
does
open
up
options,
well,
maintaining
the
city's
ability
to
control
the
spaces
and
make
sure
that
they're
suitable
and
not
just
chosen
in
an
ad
hoc
fashion,
so
I
hope
that
answers
that
first
question
I'll
jump
to
the
second
one
regarding
either
hybrid
or
remote
meetings.
N
The
ordinance
does
provide
that
there
will
be
that
meetings
will
be
held
in
a
physical
space
and
that
require
that
is
to
make
sure
that
the
part
can
participate.
So
it
does
rule
out
the
possibility
of
the
fully
remote
meeting
where
there
would
be.
You
know
just
a
bunch
of
members
gathered
on
teams,
but
no
opportunity
for
the
public
as
for
hybrid,
it
does
not
rule
that
in
or
out
in
the
future.
N
C
That
that's
really
helpful
and
I
think
the
government
owned,
or
at
least
definitely
adds
some
flexibility.
I'm
also
I
have
an
appetite
for
approved
locations
right.
So
you
can't
ad
hoc
just
choose
hey.
We
want
to
meet
at
this
location,
but
it
may
be
beneficial
for
us
to
have
some
kind
of
language
to
accommodate
a
process
where
we
would
at
least
have
to
approve
a
location
prior
to
being
utilized,
even
if
it's
not
government
owned
release,
but
that's
just
my
feedback,
but
thank
you.
O
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
thanks
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
I.
Think,
though,
you
actually
perhaps
answered
some
of
my
questions
because
some
of
the
concerns
I
had
I
have
Ward
11,
residence
and
obviously
I
know
we
all
do
on
the
Committees
on
people
with
disabilities
and
the
Committees
on
aging,
and
both
have
reached
out
to
me
in
kind
of
an
understanding
of
the
accessibility
for
themselves.
O
A
Foreign,
thank
you
I'm,
not
seeing
anybody
else,
anyone
else
in
cute
as
anyone
else
wanting
to
speak
on
this
item.
A
I
do
want
to
mention
that,
as
was
said,
oh
I'm,
sorry,
council,
member
Johnson,
Madam.
I
A
J
Thank
you,
Madam,
chair
and
I'll,
be
as
quick
as
I
can
so
on.
This
slide
we're
showing
the
first
of
next
steps.
The
today's
presentation
was
the
first
step.
We
have
had
briefings,
of
course,
with
policymakers,
department,
leaders
and
ABC
staff
for
the
past
several
months,
but,
as
I
said,
we
wanted
to
have
this
public
briefing
so
that
the
committee
had
a
level
set
as
we
get
ready
with
all
13
council
members
before
the
proposal
advances
in
the
legislative
process,
as
shown
on
this
Slide.
J
The
next
formal
action
is
for
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
to
set
the
date
for
a
public
hearing.
This
timeline
assumes
that
the
setting
of
that
public
hearing
could
happen
at
the
Pogo
committee's
next
meeting,
which
is
October
2nd
again.
That's
just
setting
the
date
for
the
public
hearing,
it
could
mean
the
soonest
the
public
hearing
could
be
conducted
would
be
in
the
following
cycle,
which
would
be
on
October
16th
following
the
close
of
the
public
hearing.
J
The
Pogo
committee
would
have
the
chance,
as
I
mentioned,
to
perfect
the
draft
ordinance
through
the
amendment
process
and
forward
its
Report
with
recommendations
to
the
full
Council,
the
soonest,
that
the
city
council
would
then
be
able
to
take
up.
The
draft
ordinance,
as
reported
from
the
Pogo
committee,
would
be
at
its
regular
meeting
on
October
19th.
J
The
ordinance
has
been
drafted
to
delay
the
effective
date
should
it
be
adopted
until
July
31st
of
2024..
So,
unlike
other
ordinances,
we've
built
in
a
six-month
approximate
delay
period.
The
reason
that's
important
to
us
shown
on
this
slide
is
that
within
the
adoptive
date
and
the
effective
date
next,
July
staff
needs
to
complete
several
actions,
some
of
which
are
shown
here.
That
includes
developing
templates
for
ordinances
and
resolutions
to
create
new
ABCs
that
are
standardized
according
to
those
requirements
that
Ms
Neff
mentioned.
J
Drafting
new
resolutions
to
re-establish
our
existing
advisory
boards,
classified
in
tier
three
designing
and
implementing
a
new
and
improved
ABC
orientation
program,
reviewing
updating
and
delivering
training
to
our
board
and
commission
staff
to
support
this
transition
under
the
new
policy
and
then
finally,
of
course,
future
phases
to
plan
for
Beyond
2024
that
we
would
consider
shown
on
this
slide.
So
the
work
over
this
past
decade,
as
the
council
president
mentioned,
is
cumulative.
We
have
made
incremental
processes
to
improve
the
administration
of
boards
and
commissions.
J
D
Thank
you,
manager,
I
simply
wanted
to
be
added.
As
author
I
send
my
thanks
to
both
the
clerk
and
attorney
you've
done
great
work
and
it's
very
much
appreciated.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
You
know,
as
Claire
Carl
mentioned,
beginning
in
2009,
with
the
work
of
council,
member,
Robert,
lilligrin
and
then
following
forward
with
Council
vice
president
Glidden
and
then
council
president
Jenkins
council,
president
Jenkins
is
the
through
line
on
all
of
this
work
clerk
Carl.
We
appreciate
your
work
and
efforts
and
support.
We
appreciate
this
being
a
place
we
can
discuss
this
in
public
and
hopefully
level
set
for
the
many
people
who
maybe
sit
on
these
boards
and
commissions
and
are
looking
for
more
information.
This
is
that
place
to
get
that
information.
A
I
do
have
a
number
of
people
who
have.
Let
me
know.
They
too
would
like
to
co-author
this
important
revision
of
how
we
ask
for
formalized
public
participation
in
these
boards
and
commissions,
and
those
authors
include
council,
member
Vita,
rainville,
Ellison,
Johnson
Goodman
and
myself
I've,
just
given
those
over
to
the
clerk
in
a
team's
message
and
that's
what
I've
got.
Are
there
other
questions
or
comments
or
anybody
that
wants
to
speak.
J
Council
vice
president,
just
before
I
close
I
would
also
like
to
just
point
out
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
my
comments.
There
are
two
streams
that
run
in
parallel
for
boards
and
commission
reform,
one
of
which
deals
with
the
diversification
of
memberships
that
scope
of
work,
which
has
really
been
the
primary
focus
of
the
Enterprise,
continues
to
this
day
within
every
other
year.
Survey.
Voluntary
demographic
survey
by
members,
the
results
of
which
are
brought
forward
and
reported
from
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department.
J
I
believe
to
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
soon
and
would
sort
of
tease
out
that
I
think
that
report
will
show
continuing
improvement
over
the
last
two
decades,
as
well
as
both
policy
makers
and
staff
work
to
ensure
that
our
applicant
pools
meet
the
demographic
of
the
community
and
reflect
the
community
and
that
the
appointments
made
by
the
mayor
and
the
council
are
more
and
more
matching
those
priority
factors
that
have
been
identified
so
stay
tuned
for
the
report
from
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
about
that
scope
of
work,
which
is
related
to
all
of
our
work
on
boards
and
commissions.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
again
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
my
appreciation
to
staff
and
clerk
Carl
and
his
team
assistant
to
the
attorney
Neff
for
the
work
put
forward.
Also
I
want
to
appreciate
and
welcome
my
colleagues
as
co-authors
on
this
it.
It
shows
that
there
is
Broad
support
for
this
ordinance
and
change,
and
so
welcome
welcome
all
of
you
to
be
co-authors
on
this
important
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
seeing
no
further
discussion
all
declare
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
please
file
that
report
and
I'll
move
to
refer
this
item
to
the
policy
government
and
oversight
committee
for
the
purpose
of
setting
a
public
hearing.
Is
there
a
second?
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
that
carries
in
this
item
has
been
referred
to
the
next
policy
government
and
oversight
committee,
which
is
October
2nd
for
the
purpose
of
setting
a
public
hearing.
A
P
Thank
you
for
having
me
chair,
palmisano,
Vice,
Chavez
council,
president
Jenkins,
and
the
committee
of
the
whole
Council
I
am
here
today
to
give
this
presentation
for
this
work,
because,
over
three
years
ago,
former
Minneapolis
City
of
Minneapolis
staff
were
responsible
for
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
and
after
his
murder,
the
third
precinct
former
ability
net
three
thousand
Minnehaha,
experienced
the
extensive
fire
damage.
P
The
building
is
still
structurally
sound,
but
third
precinct
officers
have
been
operating
out
of
different
locations
for
over
three
years
now
earlier,
this
spring
I
was
involved
in
an
engagement
effort
with
other
Departments
of
the
city,
as
well
as
a
consulting
firm
D
young
Consulting.
To
explore
two
different
Precinct
options.
We
presented
a
report
at
Committee
of
the
whole
on
July
18th
10
days
later.
P
You
all
is
a
city
body,
as
city
council
body
voted
12
to
1,
to
eliminate
any
further
police
shoots
at
the
3000
in
Minnehaha
building,
and
so
what
I'm
presenting
to
you
today
are
some
of
the
next
steps
forward
at
that
building.
With
the
understanding
that
it
will
not
be
used
in
perpetuity
for
police
use,.
P
So
there's
a
few
items
that
are
occurring
in
2023
as
well
as
a
few
in
2024
in
2023,
so
in
Q3,
right
now,
finance
and
Property
Services
is
exploring
and
confirming
funding
to
clean
up
the
three
thousand
Minnehaha
building
I'll
talk
to
that
further
in
the
next
slide,
they're
also
starting
a
Property
Disposition
process
to
assess
what
what
city
uses
could
be
utilized
at
that
facility.
P
It's
still
a
city-owned
building
and
then
on
my
side
with
the
Office
of
Public
Service,
we're
working
with
D
young
Consulting
for
our
project
timeline
for
phase
two
engagement,
as
well
as
a
developing.
A
work
group
for
the
building
with
community
members
in
2024,
finance
and
private
Services
is
projecting
a
cleanup
of
the
site,
and
then
we,
an
Office
of
Public
Service,
would
be
conducting
Community
engagement
with
D
young
Consulting.
P
So
from
a
finance
and
Property
Services
standpoint,
they
are
doing
a
Property
Disposition
analysis
process
that
is
ongoing
and
should
be
concluded
towards
the
end
of
this
month
and
that
basically
explores
what
other
city
services
could
be
utilized
at
that
building
other
than
police
shoots.
As
you
all
are
aware,
there's
a
variety
of
services
that
the
city
conducts
a
variety
of
facilities
and
staff,
and
so
we're
exploring
what
could
those
uses
be?
P
That
is
anticipated
to
conclude
later
this
month,
they're
also
in
the
process
of
planning
for
a
cleanup
of
the
site,
so
that
would
remove
the
boarded
up.
Windows,
eventually
remove
the
barriers,
the
fencing
Etc
and
just
improve
the
visibility
of
that
site.
We
still
have
no
plans
for
what
would
be
actually
put
within
that
building
and
that's
what
this
future
engagement
is
about.
But
at
least
from
a
from
a
visibility
Community
standpoint.
P
We
would
be
removing
a
lot
of
the
barbed
wire
and
things
like
that
from
The
Office
of
Public
Service
side,
we
are
under
contract.
We
have
a
contract
with
Dion
Consulting.
They
did
the
phase
one
engagement.
They
were
here
and
presented
to
you
all
with
me.
In
July
of
of
this
year,
I
mean
we're
developing
a
work
group
and
that
work
group
would
be
exploring
other
other
community
uses
of
the
site
and
they
would
be
tasked
with
presenting
a
recommendation
around
those
uses.
P
So
we're
exploring
the
city
uses
of
the
site
and
then
in
future,
engagement
with
the
community
uses
of
the
site
could
be
in
some
type
of
hybrid
model.
It's
still
in
the
very
early
phases
of
forming
that
work
group.
We're
hoping
to
have
their
work
group
formed
by
the
end
of
this
year,
have
their
work
group
starting
to
meet
having
focus
groups
and
then
ultimately,
Community
meetings
later
next
year
and
then
reaching
recommendations
around
how
to
use
that
site
moving
forward.

you,
madam
chair,

thank
you

that
presentation

overview
I'm

curious.
When
will
the
worked

take
down
the
fencing
begin,
we're
using
the
window
boarded.

Yeah
I'll
pull
up
someone
from
finance
and
Property
Services
to
speak
through
that.
