A
You
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum,
I
did
hear
from
council
member
Osman
and
he's
handling
some
constituent
needs
in
his
Ward
after
last
night's
fire
at
the
mosque.
So
we
wish
him
well
in
that
we
have
two
items
on
the
published
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
reports
of
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle,
I.
A
Hang
on
this
doesn't
seem
to
match
item
number.
One
is
our
regular
report
on
contract
Awards
and
amendments
that
have
been
approved
over
the
last
couple
weeks
by
the
ad
hoc
work
group
established
for
American
Rescue
plan
act
dollars.
Staff
as
usual,
doesn't
have
a
presentation
for
this
item,
but
is
on
hand
if
there
are
any
questions
from
my
colleagues.
Are
there
any
questions
for
staff
council,
member
wansley.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
palmisano,
more
sort
of
a
comment.
D
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
shout
out
touch
Outreach
last
month,
clue
out
Sue,
council
member
Chavez
for
organizing
a
community
meeting
on
Public
Safety
on
the
public
transit
line
where
on
the
touch
scene
was
there
I'm
at
that
meeting
over
75
residents
spoke
about
how
they
wanted
more
of
a
presence
from
these
unarmed
responders
on
trains
and
buses,
because
they
do
feel
like
they
help
create
a
safer
environment
for
everyone,
and
many
residents
call
for
increased
funding
to
support
this
kind
of
work.
D
So
I
was
super
glad
to
see
this
contract
be
expanded
for
touch
as
well
as
other
violence,
prevention
and
intervention
services.
So
I
just
wanted
to
shout
out
our
staff
for
continuing
their
expansion
and
pursuit
of
that
work,
as
well
as
council
member
Chavez
for
creating
opportunities
for
our
residents
needs
to
be
met
through
our
unarmed
safety
responders.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
vice
president
and
I
would
like
to
invite
our
City
attorney
Anderson,
to
provide
us
with
a
brief
level
set
of
where
we
are
in
the
mdhr
settlement
process
and
how
that
informs
the
discussion
on
on
the
item,
which
is.
F
Thank
you.
Council
president
council
members,
I'll
just
give
you
a
brief
update
on
what
is
going
on
in
the
settlement
process
between
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
and
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
F
As
you
know,
several
weeks
weeks,
back,
I
did
a
longer
presentation
to
you
about
what
was
in
the
settlement
agreement
and
what
the
process
would
be
from
there
so
kind
of
pick
it
up
from
there.
After
council's
approval
of
the
settlement
agreement,
the
agreement
was
fully
executed
by
by
the
parties
and
as
I,
described
to
you
at
that
point.
F
In
time,
the
human
rights
Department
filed
a
new
lawsuit
with
a
new
complaint
again
an
all
old
allegations,
but
a
new
complaint,
along
with
the
settlement
agreement
and
a
joint
motion
from
both
parties
for
the
court
to
enter
the
settlement
agreement
as
an
order.
Since
that
time,
we
have
now
gotten
a
Judicial
assignment,
it's
Judge,
Karen
yanish,
who
is
the
same
judge
that
was
presiding
over
the
action
from
back
in
2021,
with
a
temporary
restraining
order.
F
So
the
parties
had
actually
asked
for
the
temporary
restraining
order
action
and
this
new
action
to
be
combined
because
they
are
very
connected
with
each
other
in
the
settlement.
Agreement
will
actually
settle
that
temporary
restraining
order
action.
So
it's
now
all
been
Consolidated
and
assigned
to
judge
yanish.
The
parties
have
asked
for
a
scheduling
conference
and
we're
just
awaiting
scheduling
at
this
point
in
time,
as
we
wait
for
the
court
process,
we're
working
on
on
a
number
of
things
and
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
few
kind
of
upcoming
deadlines.
F
Again,
all
of
these
deadlines
in
the
settlement
agreement
are
hinged
off
of
that
date
of
Court
approval,
which
at
this
point
in
time
we
don't
know
what
that
date
will
be,
but
some
some
near-term
deadlines
that
we've
been
working
really
hard
on.
First
deadline
that
comes
up
in
the
settlement
agreement
is
that,
14
days
after
the
effective
date
again,
the
date
of
the
the
court
approves
the
settlement
agreement.
F
We
must
publish
an
RFP
for
the
independent
evaluator,
we're
very
very
far
down
the
road
on
that
we've
got
the
RFP
drafted
and
approved,
and,
and
so
that
will
be
ready
to
go
in
a
timely
way,
a
few
other
short-term
deadlines
that
will
come
up
60
days
from
the
effective
date.
We
must
create
and
staff
implementation
units
within
the
MPD
and
the
city
with
the
skills
and
abilities
necessary
to
facilitate
implementation
and
compliance
with
the
agreement.
I
know
MPD
has
done
a
lot
of
work
in
standing
up
that
implementation
unit.
F
My
office
has
done
a
lot
of
work
in
standing
up.
My
office's
implementation
unit,
60
days
from
the
effective
date.
Mpd
must
establish
a
web
page
which
is
available
in
multiple
languages
to
receive
Community
comments
about
policies
and
practices.
Work
on
that
webpage
is
already
underway
and
then
the
last
short
term
deadline
60
days
from
the
effective
date,
MPD
will
hold
at
least
three
public
engagement
sessions
on.
Remember
those
topics,
the
the
use
of
force
policy,
the
non-discrimination
in
policing
policy,
stop
searches
and
arrests
and
then
Mission,
Vision
Values.
So
that's
a
near-term
deadline.
F
I
know
MPD
in
my
office
are
working
hard
on.
You
know
what
that
that
Community
engagement
process
will
look
like,
but
we
will
be.
You
know
the
the
I
guess
good
thing
about
about.
Having
all
of
this.
You
know
the
settlement
agreement.
We
know
what
the
contents
are
even
before
it's
approved
by
the
court.
F
We've
got
the
ability
to
kind
of
get
going
on
this
work
and
we're
doing
that
so
so
that
that's
the
update
date,
obviously
not
not
a
huge
update,
and
we
will
obviously
once
we
actually
get
get
more
information
from
the
court
about
timeline
process.
Etc
I
can
certainly
report
back.
E
Thank
you,
City
attorney,
Anderson
and
I.
Do
want
to
just
acknowledge
this
committee.
This
subcommittee's
co-chair
council
member
Ellison.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
if
we're
thank
you
for
the
update,
City
attorney
Anderson
just
wanted
to
speak
really
quickly
on
the
staff
directive
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
and
I
wanted
to
speak
in
favor
of
it.
I
think
that,
oh,
it's
not
in
front
of
us.
Okay,
cool
and.
E
D
Thank
you,
Council
party,
Jenkins
and
keeping
in
mind
with
what
just
clerk
Carl
just
shared
I,
would
like
for
us
to
consider
the
legislative
directive
that
is
currently
on
our
parents
and
practice
subcommittee
and
move
approval
for
that.
I
E
G
Allison
yep,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
staff.
Direction
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
things
when
it
comes
to
the
budget
that
we
are
used
to
taking
up
during
the
budget
season.
Certainly
you
know
we're
used
to
taking
up
things
like
the
levy
and
all
that,
but
this
is
an
item
that
we
are
not
used
to
taking
up.
G
This
is
going
to
be
a
unique
this
year
and
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
prepare
ourselves
as
ahead
of
time
as
possible.
I've
seen
some
of
the
communication
between
council
member
wansley's
office
and
and
MPD.
It
sounds
like
there's
not
huge
resistance
or
conflict
and
being
able
to
provide
this
information
and
again,
you
know
nobody
wants
to
see
us
shortchanging
any
department,
but
we
also
don't
want
to
see
this.
G
This
settlement
agreement
get
used
as
sort
of
like
a
a
reason
to
sort
of
run
wild
either.
I.
Think
an
analysis
well
ahead
of
time
can
really
support
us
in
in
understanding
what
we're
dealing
with
what
the
cost
is
going
to
be
for
residents
long
term
and
help
us
make
budget
decisions
as
we
as
we
head
into
budget
season
in
the
fall
I.
Think
the
earlier
we
get
this
information
in
front
of
us
the
better
again
this
is.
G
This
is
a
unique
kind
of
consideration
that
we're
going
to
have
to
make
and
I
think
that's
why
it's
smart
for
us
to
get
as
ahead
of
it
as
possible.
E
Have
a
few
more
people
in
queue,
but
I
did
want
to
hear
from
Mr
Harrison
from
the
budget
office
to
just
help
us
understand
what
may
be
some
implications
with
this
legislative
director.
Sure.
H
Yes,
thank
you,
council,
president
I
think
as
we
as
as
we
in
the
finance
department
and
in
the
budget
office
review
this
legislative
directive
as
regards
the
consent
decree,
the
settlement
agreement,
I
think
one
thing
that
stands
out
is
that
you
know
we're
generally
speaking,
always
supportive
of
comprehensive
financial
analysis.
H
I
think
that's
a
question
that
we're
very
used
to
asking
about
as
part
of
our
annual
budget
process
and
decisions,
we're
always
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
financial
impacts
of
decisions
and
what
that
may
mean
for
the
city
later
are
being
taken
into
account.
As
as
we
go
through
these
processes.
What
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
make
a
really
strong
recommendation
to
the
committee
to
Leverage
The
the
city's
annual
budget
process
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
H
This
is
work
that
staff
are,
you
know,
going
to
be
working
on
completing
as
part
of
our
annual
budget
process
and
will
be
built
into
their
work
plans,
unlike
a
couple
of
other
instances
of
very
important
questions
that
are
being
asked
of
Staff
or
have
been
asked
of
Staff
in
a
in
a
public
format,
I'm
thinking
specifically
of
the
homeless.
Encampment
response
and
the
rent
stabilization
work,
where
you
know
we
also
needed
to
produce
some
significant
and
well-founded
financial
analysis
to
help
Council
explore
these
issues.
Unlike
those,
this
is.
H
This
is
a
potential
question
that
is
absolutely
going
to
be
addressed
via
the
annual
budget
setting
process,
because
the
Departments
are
going
to
be
affected,
know
they're,
going
to
need
resources
in
order
to
to
respond
to
the
settlement
agreement
in
the
coming
year.
So
we're
we're
very
assured
that
all
of
the
Departments
are
going
to
be
affected
by
this
are
going
to
be
considering
what
their
needs
are
going
to
be
and
elevating
those
needs
through
the
annual
budget
process.
H
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out,
unlike
other
questions
that
needed
to
be
very
directly
asked
of
Staff
in
order
to
produce
this
financial
analysis.
This
is
something
that
staff
are
already
thinking
about
and
preparing
to
complete
as
part
of
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
update
this
coming
this
coming
August
and
just
another
note
on
the
work
plan
too.
That's
going
to
be
involved
and
required
of
Staff
in
order
to
I
think
produce
those
recommendations
for
the
mayor
to
bring
forward.
H
In
his
August
15th
budget
address,
you
know
we're
looking
at
departments
spending
a
considerable
portion
of
May
and
June
really
bringing
forward
their
proposals
connecting
with
each
other,
trying
to
understand
the
best
possible
approaches
to
this
work
and
I
understand
that
a
lot
of
those
approaches
are
still
being
determined,
bringing
those
forward
in
proposals
and
then
really
adjusting
and
reviewing
and
refining
those
proposals
throughout
the
month
of
July,
so
that
Council,
so
that
via
the
mayor's
budget
process,
then
we
have
something.
H
That's
very
well-formed,
something
that's
been
thought
through
to
to
a
much
greater
degree
than
I
think
we
would
get
if
we
brought
something
if
we,
if
we
invited
staff,
to
try
and
bring
forward
something
right
now.
So
just
those
those
two
main
considerations.
We
have
a
budget
process
we're
able
to
leverage
that
process.
I.
H
Think
staff
are
already
planning
as
part
of
their
work
this
year,
to
really
use
that
budget
process
to
help
answer
some
of
these
questions
that
I've
seen
in
this
legislative
directive
and
my
strong
recommendation
would
be
for
the
committee,
the
council,
to
utilize
that
process
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
Is
there
anything
else?
I
can
answer.
C
E
D
You
council
president,
as
the
author
of
this
legislative
directive,
I
just
wanted
to
First,
do
some
level
setting
and
hopefully
respond
to
some
of
the
things
that
Robert
just
raised
and
I
know
some
of
the
concerns
that
Council
vice
president
has
raised
in
agenda
settings
that
maybe
some
other
colleagues
might
speak
to.
But
first
many
of
you
are
aware.
I've
spoken
about
this
legislative
director
for
the
past
several
weeks.
D
Now,
since
we
approve
the
legal
settlement
and
just
want
to
reiterate
the
goal
of
this
legislative
directive
is
to
give
us
the
information
that
we
need
to
make
informed
decisions
about
the
fiscal
impacts
of
this
mdhr
settlement
agreement.
D
I
think
we
all
know
it's
going
to
take
resources
to
implement
the
required
changes
and
we
need
to
be
fiscally
responsible
and
make
sure
that
the
settlement
agreement
is
not
a
blank
check
to
MPD
as
Robert
somewhat
highlighted.
I
do
want
to
note
that
last
year
and
we
approved
this
in
the
beginning
of
the
budget
conversations-
the
budget
office
actually
gave
Council
a
presentation
that
included
information
for
consent,
decree
planning
in
that
presentation,
and
if
you
look
I'm
more
than
happy
to
send
this
out
in
our
team's
chat.
D
But
in
that
presentation
it
was
noted
that
there
will
be
reserves
for
two
million
dollars
in
2023
3
million
dollars
in
2024,
set
aside
for
the
coming
state
and
federal
consent.
Decrees.
There
was
also
a
8.5
million
dollars
recommended
for
Public
Safety
change
items
related
to
City,
initiated
reforms,
so
it
seems,
like
we've,
already
approved
these
recommendations.
There
was
already
discussions
and
decisions
with
the
mayor's
office
of
some
figures
around
what
this
might
cost.
So
I
think
this
legislative
directive
goal
is
to
really
have
this
body
get
clarity
on
how
we
came
to
those
numbers.
D
D
The
mayor
has
talked
about
these
figures
publicly
and
in
press
conferences,
I'm
still
unsure
how
we
came
up
with
these
numbers,
but
now
that
the
city
has
formally
entered
into
a
settlement
agreement
I
think
it's
time
for
the
council
to
get
very
specific
about
what
changes
are
being
implemented,
especially
since
City
attorney
Anderson
just
laid
out
a
pretty.
You
know
clear
timeline
that
we're
going
to
be
expected
to
bring
implementation
teams
forward
and
getting
ready
to
approve
our
rfps
for
our
independent
evaluator.
D
So
we
really
need
to
be
thinking.
How
do
we
Finance
these
Provisions
in
the
efficient
and
fiscally
responsible
way?
I
also
want
to
highlight
an
equally
important.
Dynamic
residents
are
frustrated
by
the
fact
that
the
city
has
spent
hundreds
of
millions
of
taxpayers
dollars
on
misconduct,
settlements,
PTSD
claims
and
Staffing
minimums.
That's
it.
We
do
owe
it
to
our
residents
to
show
them
that
we
are
taking
the
cost
of
the
settlement
agreement
seriously
and
that
we
are
going
to
be
enacting.
These
changes
in
the
most
cost
efficient
strategic
way
possible.
D
So
this
LD
is
the
way
to
help
us
get
all
of
that
information
to
do
exactly
that
now
to
Circle
back
to
some
of
the
concerns.
I
know
Council
vice
president
raised
during
an
agenda
setting
and
I
I
will
know,
I,
don't
know
what
specific
items
in
the
LD
that
you're
referring
to,
but
I
will
specify
in
our
conversations
in
the
agenda
setting
where
there
were
some
questions
raised
specifically
item
four
in
this
legislative
directive.
D
D
D
It's
also
widely
known
that
over
the
past
three
years
again,
we've
spent
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
on
you
know
other
police
misconduct
and
PTSD
all
those
things,
but
that
fiscal
burden
has
laid
primarily
on
the
shoulders
of
taxpayers,
while
mpd's
200
million
dollar
budget
has
remained,
we
remained
largely
intact
and
untouched.
So
for
these
reasons,
community
members
have
contacted
my
office
regularly
with
concerns
of
how
the
city
can
basically
stop
the
financial
bleeding
that
MPD
has
caused.
D
They
do
recognize
that
every
million
dollar
that
you
know
we
pay
out
in
misconduct
is
a
million
dollars
that
could
have
went
towards
a
city,
service
or
program.
So
as
the
purse
holders
for
the
city,
our
residents
are
looking
to
us
to
stop
the
financial
bleeding
that
MPD
is
causing
and
finding
ways
to
adapt.
Mpd's
existing
budget
to
accommodate
these
incoming
costs
around
the
consent,
decree
and
implementation
process
is
one
clear
way.
D
We
can
do
that
in
regards
to
item
five
on
the
legislative
directive
that
asks
for
updated,
FTE
count
on
MPD
officers,
who
are
on
active
duty
and
regularly
scheduled
to
work.
As
for
the
number
of
officers
who
are
out
on
leave
anticipated
recruits
in
2023
and
expected
retirees
in
2023,
2024
2025.
having
this
information
is
important,
because
the
settlement
agreement
requires
MPD
leadership
and
reconcile
officers
to
undergo
a
wide
range
of
trainings.
D
I
want
to
recognize
these
trainings
will
cost
money
and
that
cost
will
differ
depending
on
our
staffing
levels
and
training
for
800
officers
will
be
more
expensive
than
training
for
500
officers.
So
we
should
have
anticipated
numbers
as
I
know.
We're
all
excited
to
begin
implementation
of
the
supplement
agreement
and
since
contracts
are
going
to
be
coming
to
this
committee,
pretty
soon
I
want
the
council
to
have
some
sense
of
costs
associated
with
Staffing
levels
that
we
should
be
anticipating.
Also
last
around
item
number:
six,
which
requests
fiscal
information
related
to
cross
jurisdictional
resources.
D
Lastly,
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
who
have
shared
positive
feedback
and
are
very
excited
to
collaborate
on
this
further
I
want
to
thank
also
City
attorney
Anderson
and
MPD
leadership.
As
council
member
Ellison
raised
staff
has
not
raised
any
red
flag
about
this.
They
have
all
affirmed
our
office.
They
can
provide
every
item
of
information
requested
in
this
legislative
directive,
so
our
staff
is
ready
to
give
us
this
information
and
get
to
work
with
us.
So
we
can
have
this
and
I
thank
them
for
helping
shape
this
LD.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah
as
I
read
through
this
legislative
directive,
I
just
kind
of
reflecting
back
to
the
mayor's
budget
address
last
year
in
August,
and
at
that
time
it
was
very
unclear
if
we
would
have
a
consent
decree
with
the
state.
If
we'd
have
a
court-ordered
settlement
agreement,
would
we
have
a
independent
monitor
or
a
independent
evaluator?
You
know
we.
J
We
now
have
kind
of
a
lot
more
Precision
around
the
language
of
what
some
of
these
interventions
are
supposed
to
look
like,
but
at
that
time
we
basically
had
to
take
a
guess
at
other
jurisdictions
around
how
much
this
might
cost
to
do
this
and
we
weren't
sure
if
we
were
going
to
have
multiple
consent.
Decrees
that
are
competing
with
each
other
that
are
duplicating
the
need
for
resources
to
meet
the
needs
of
these
competing
consent.
J
Decrees,
while
we
fast
forward
today,
we
know
a
lot
more
now
and
we
don't
have
to
get
do
so
much
guesswork
around
what
it's
going
to
take
to
be
able
to
execute
this
agreement
and
I
think
it
would
be
really
helpful
for
us
to
have
a
little
more
Precision
than
that
two
to
three
million
dollar
set
aside
that
we
presented
when
we
had
a
lot
less
knowledge
about
what
was
going
to
be
involved
in
this
agreement,
and
so
even
hearing
that
you
know
14
days
from
the
date
of
execution,
we
have
to
have
an
RFP
published
I'm,
pretty
sure
we
probably
know
the
dollar
figure
for
the
RFP
at
this
point,
right
I
think
the
public
should
know
what's
involved
in
that
Con
in
in
that
RFP,
for
our
independent
evaluator
from
the
state.
J
We
still
don't
know
what
the
cost
is
going
to
be
for
an
independent
monitor
for
the
doj
consent.
Decree
years
ago,
the
polad
foundation
had
offered
up
money
to
fund
an
early
intervention
system.
I,
don't
think,
we've
ever
actually
implemented
that
I'm
curious
about
what
the
budget
implication
is
around
bringing
those
outside
dollars
in
to
help
Implement.
J
Think
us,
as
a
body
who
is
responsible
for
this
budget,
should
really
have
that
information
and
I
know
that
we
do
have
a
budget
process,
but
we
are
largely
left
out
of
that
budget
process
as
it
currently
exists
today,
at
this
stage
of
the
process,
we
will
be
involved
in
the
budget
process
much
further
down
the
line,
but
I
think
we
have
some
timelines
that
are
coming
up
really
quickly
around
implementation
and
we're
still
Flying
Blind
when
it
comes
to
our
understanding
of
what
resources
we
need
and
need
to
consider,
especially
as
it
relates
to
potentially
overlapping
requirements
between
the
state
and
the
doj,
and
so
I'd
like
to
know
as
much
as
we
can
know,
at
least
at
the
state
level
and
I'm
still.
J
Maybe
this
is
a
question
for
our
City
attorney:
I'm,
not
sure
if
the
doj
is
going
to
be
more
intensive
or
less
intensive
than
mdhr's
requirements,
so
there
there
may
be
actually
less
of
a
need
for
the
the
resources.
Now
that
we
know
is
what
we
know
about
the
the
states
that
settlement
agreement,
which
I
think
we
would
all
agree,
is
pretty
strong.
J
If
we
meet
the
Baseline
needs
to
effectuate
the
state
settlement
agreement
that
might
take
off
some
burden
from
the
the
federal
consent
decree,
depending
on
the
outcome
of
that
it's
speculative.
So
maybe
I
won't
ask
that
question
of
the
City
attorney,
because
I,
don't
I
won't
force
you
to
speculate,
but
I
think
we
are
Beyond
speculation
when
it
comes
to
what
we
need
to
know
for
the
state
settlement.
J
Agreement
and
I
think
that
we,
as
a
body
who's
responsible
for
appropriating
taxpayer
dollars,
should
have
as
much
information
as
we
need,
because
we
all
know
this
is
actually
going
to
be
a
multi-year,
possibly
decade-long,
set
of
tasks
that
we're
going
to
have
in
front
of
us,
and
we
didn't
know
much
when
we
approved
the
budget
last
year.
We
know
a
whole
lot
more
now
and
I
think
it's
a
time
for
us
to
actually
put
that
increase
knowledge
into
our
hands
when
it
comes
to
understanding
the
budget
implications.
J
So
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this
legislative
directive
and
I
would
hope.
This
was
a
non-controversial
set
of
questions
to
ask
of
around
police
accountability.
K
Investigations
subcommittee
also,
while
this
legislative
directive
absolutely
touches
on
matters
of
the
patterns
and
practice,
investigation
subcommittee,
it
more
so
touches
on
matters
of
the
budget
committee
and
it
specifically
relates
to
the
city
of
minneapolis's
budget,
so
I
think
addressing
it
through.
The
budget
committee's
process
on
the
budget
committee's
timeline
is
also
appropriate.
K
I
understand
that
council
members
want
to
be
fiscally
responsible
and
make
fiscally
responsible
decisions,
but
we
will
not
be
making
those
decisions
until
December
20
of
23
here
and
through
the
2024
supplement
budget
process.
Council
members
will
have
this
information
well
in
advance
and
for
those
reasons,
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
legislative
directive
and
I
urge
my
fellow
council
members
to
do
the
same.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
You
know
I
want
to
first
start
by
thanking
council
member
wansley
for
so
much
due
diligence
that
I
see
reflected
in
this
work.
I
I
from
the
from
what
what's
in
front
of
us
today,
I
see
the
efforts
that
that
you
and
your
office
made
to
engage
with
staff
and
make
sure
that
you
are
asking
the
right
set
of
questions
to
get
the
right
set
of
answers
to
help.
This
body
then
make
really
really
thoughtful
decisions
and
I
I'm,
really
thankful
for
you
doing
that.
L
I
I
I
held
a
community
meeting
in
Ward
10
a
couple
weeks
ago
now,
talking
with
with
constituents
about
the
settlement
agreement,
I
believe
I'm,
the
only
one.
That's
done
that
so
far
and
I
had
a
lot
of
Ward
10
residents
and,
and
surprisingly,
like
a
good
chunk
of
Ward
11
residents
that
came
and
the
number
one
question
that
I
was
asked
and
I
felt
like
I
had
no
real
answer
to
was:
okay,
I
get
this.
This
is
good.
How
much
is
this
gonna
cost
us
and
what?
L
What
resources
is
it
going
to
take
to
implement
these
things?
You
know
I've
heard
the
city
say
we're
going
to
do
this,
we're
going
to
do
that,
and
it
doesn't
happen
on
the
timeline,
because
you
who
didn't
allocate
resources
properly
to
to
make
the
thing
happen
and
that
that
question
came
from
two
different
places.
It
was
both
from
I
want
to
see
this.
L
L
I
appreciate
the
the
the
comments
I've
heard
about
going
through
the
the
city's
budget
process.
That's
going
to
come
up
later,
this
fall
and
winter
I
think
from
I've
gone
through
one
budget
process
like
the
majority
of
this
Council
has,
and
the
budget
process
is
the
culmination
of
months
of
work
right
like
the
budget
office
and
the
the
finance
department
works
year-round.
L
You
are
working
constantly
with
departments
on
on
keeping
track
of
our
money,
whether
what
we
allocated
and
how
it's
being
spent,
but
by
the
time
we
get
a
finalized
budget
document.
It
is
mostly
set
in
stone
in
our
1.66
billion
dollar
budget.
Last
year
we
moved
around
three
million
dollars
the
budget
isn't
going
to
change
by
the
time
it's
presented
to
us,
and
decisions
have
already
been
made
about
where
resources
are
being
allocated
and
those
decisions
are
made
behind
closed
doors
right.
We
don't
see
the
thought
process
that
goes
into
it.
L
We
see
the
finalized
product
that
and
then
the
responsibility
of
Department
directors
stops
being
to
is
starts.
The
responsibility
of
Department
directors
in
our
budget
process
in
the
departmental
presentations
process
in
the
Amendments
process
is
to
come
to
us
and
defend
their
budget,
and
that
is
that
is
not
a
place
for
us
to
be
making
neutral
decisions
from
receiving
non-partisan
information
that
is
neutral,
that
is
fact-based
and
that
isn't
isn't
making
directors
or
staff
think
about.
L
We
need
to
be
in
the
position
to
objectively
look
at
how
much
the
implementation
of
this
consent
decree
is
going
to
cost
both
in
terms
of
dollars
and
staff
and
start
to
think
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
now,
so
that
by
the
time
we
get
to
a
proposed
budget
by
the
time
we
get
to
amendments
by
the
time
we
get
to
adopting
the
budget,
we
have
had
a
lot
of
time
to
understand
the
information
to
figure
out
where
the
resources
are
going
to
get
allocated
and
to
do
that
work
thoughtfully
instead
of
at
the
11th
Hour.
L
E
Thank
you
councilman
next
thing,
Q
is
council
member
wansley
on
her
second
speech
on
this
item.
Thank.
D
You,
council
president,
also
just
want
to
thank
council
member
Chuck
Tai.
D
You
shared
a
lot
of
sentiments
that
I
wanted
to
raise
around
the
budget
process
and
why
it
makes
sense
for
us
in
this
committee
that
we
have
created
to
do
the
follow-up
work
around
specifically
our
legal
settlements
in
the
consent
decree
for
us
to
get
the
information
in
a
timely
manner
versus
waiting
until
the
end
of
the
year.
D
For
us
to
make
decisions
that
largely
will
already
be
made
and
I
will
name
is,
is
being
made.
We
already
approved
a
budget
just
last
year,
2023,
where
there
was
already
already
consent.
Decree
planning
happening
we're
putting
funds
in
reserves.
You
know
so
we're
already.
Let
me
say
the
mayor's
office.
D
The
executive
side
has
been
doing
that
work,
it's
time
for
us
to
also
be
able
to
provide
Clarity
to
our
constituents,
especially
if
we're
going
to
be
doing
similar
things
of
Hosting
consent,
decree
meetings
and
answering
this
very
you
know
important
question
of
how
are
taxpayers
going
to
fund
the
implementation
of
the
7
men
agreement,
so
it
could
be
successful,
but
do
so
in
efficient
and
responsible
way.
So
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
that
information
as
early
as
possible.
D
There's
nothing
wrong
with
getting
information
early,
especially
when
our
staff
and
I
want
to
emphasize
that
staff.
That
has
been
a
part
of
these
conversations
that
have
helped
shape
this
legislative
Department,
reiterating
MPD
leadership
and
the
city
attorney's
office
have
all
said
they
can
provide
this
information.
So
there's
no
issue
around
staff.
We
already
have
apparently
budget
allocations
around
this
there's
I'm
assuming
staff
has
you
know,
information
of
how
they
got
to
those
figures,
so
that
information
should
be
readily
available.
D
So
all
of
this
information
staff
is
ready
to
come
to
the
table,
come
to
council
and
present
to
help
us
be
able
to
make
the
best
informed
decisions
before
these
rfps
and
contracts
come
forward
to
us
for
consideration.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
there
is
no
problem.
Staff
is
like
let's
go
now.
Is
the
decision
lies
the
feet
of
Council
of
like
our
we
ready
to
meet
them
there.
D
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
and
thank
you,
council
member
again
Chuck
Tai
for
emphasizing
how
budget
would
not
necessarily
be
the
best
place
to
just
Host
this.
This
conversation
when
we
can
get
this
information
really
soon
and
staff
are
really
excited
to
provide
that
information.
E
H
Yeah
I
seem
to
have
more.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Council
president
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
no
question
on
the
matter.
I.
H
H
We
had
a
plan
last
year
for
how
we
were
going
to
handle
those
costs
and
that
was
integrated
into
2023
in
a
more
specific
way
and
then
in
2024,
just
in
our
General
Financial
Planning,
making
sure
that
we
had
some
approximate
resources
available,
and
so
I
want
to
be
clear
that
you
know
we
we
do
know
some
of
those
we
know.
A
lot
of
this
is
in
development
right
now,
and
it's
by
no
means
staff's
proposal
that
that
information
not
be
available
to
the
committee
and
the
subcommittee
just
as
part
of
that
work.
H
H
That
is
fully
considered
for
this
committee
and
for
any
part
of
the
any
part
of
the
city's
annual
budget
setting
process
is
a
significant
effort
and
so
asking
staff
to
really
accelerate
their
work
plans
to
try
and
pull
together.
These
costs
ahead
of
that
August
15th
date
to
me
feels
like
a
stretch
and
that's
why
I
recommend
for
those
costs
for
future
years,
allowing
staff
to
use
the
full
budget
process
essentially
to
pull
that
together
and
then
you
know,
perhaps
the
committee
can
follow.
Follow
along
with
that
process.
H
Ask
information
as
the
consent
decree
work
continues,
maybe
solicit
information
from
staff
when
we
get
to
the
mayor's
budget
recommendation.
That
would
be
an
easy
place
for
staff
to
I
think
pull
together.
Those
requests
for
additional
funding
for
future
years.
But
again,
that's
a
it's.
A
significant
effort.
I
can't
really
speak
on
behalf
of
those
other
departments,
but
from
what
I
have
seen
in
the
budget
offices
that
takes
a
lot
of
time
for
staff
to
pull
these
things
together.
H
So
we're
talking
about
the
City
Attorney's
office,
we're
talking
about
MPD,
we're
talking
about
multiple
departments
that
are
going
to
be
a
affected
by
the
need
to
pull
together
this
comprehensive
analysis
and
be
responsive
to
it.
I
really
just
want
to
speak
to
the
the
benefit
of
using
as
much
time
as
we
have
this
year
without
delaying
the
work
of
counsel
or
this
subcommittee
or
without
stopping
the
subcommittee
from
getting
good
information
from
staff
about
what
is
happening
right
now.
H
That
would
preclude
this
committee
from
getting
updates
on
what
we
currently
have
in
the
budget
and
what
we
are
currently
seeing
as
part
of
our
settlement
agreement.
Response
I
think
those
are
very
separate
questions.
I
again.
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
when
I
read
this
legislative
directive
and
I
see
the
the
request
for
comprehensive
financial
information
and
budget
information
for
coming
here.
That's
the
part
that
I
see
as
requiring
additional
staff
effort
and
significant
time
and
that's
my
recommendation-
is
to
use
the
annual
budget
process
to
pull
that
information
forward.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Harrison
and
yeah
I
mean
I
think
if
staff
has
data
that
they
are
willing
to
share
I
I'm,
not
sure
why
they
are
not
sharing.
C
E
With
you,
council,
member
so
and
and
we
can
ask
them
to
do
that-
hello.
I
I
Legislative
body
this
is
work
that
we
get
to
do
I,
think
for
police
accountability
and
how
much
taxpayers
will
have
to
pay
is
not
disruptive.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do
so.
I
just
want
to
thank
councilman
wansley
for
always
bringing
these
conversations
to
light
and
not
just
praying
and
hoping
that
this
work
is
going
to
get
done.
I
have
done
that
in
the
past
and
that's
how
work
gets
killed
here.
Our
constituents
deserve
answers.
It's
clear
that
councilman
onesie
throughout
this
whole
entire
process
anytime.
She
brings
legislative
directors
forward.
I
Her
work
is
intended
to
get
killed,
whether
it's
an
agenda
setting
behind
closed
doors
or
right
now,
and
it's
frustrating
to
see
that
happen
in
full
front
in
the
public.
This
should
not
be
controversial.
I,
don't
know
why
people
are
always
trying
to
stop
her
work.
People
can
vote.
No,
then
just
explain
to
your
constituents.
Well
you're
gonna
vote
now.
E
Thank
you,
sir.
Please
address
the
council.
M
M
Robert
has
clearly
stated
that
getting
the
information
for
what's
already
in
the
budget
is
not
a
problem.
We
could
certainly
do
that.
What's
challenging
is
the
projection
for
future
years.
That's
included
in
the
legislative
directive.
M
The
budget
office
works
very
hard
with
all
departments
to
put
together
a
budget
proposal,
and
it
takes
months
to
put
that
together.
So
what
you're
asking
the
budget
budget
division
to
do
is
create
a
supplemental
process
just
for
consent,
degree,
work
and
that's
extremely
challenging,
given
how
many
staff
work
in
the
budget
office.
So
what
he's
asking
is
we'll
provide
you
what
we
already
have,
but
please
include
any
future
projections
through
the
budget
process
to
eliminate
that
dual
process
that
the
budget
office
would
need
to
do
to
make
those
legislative
directive
effective.
M
E
Thank
you,
thank
you,
Mr
and
then
can
you
just
answer
when
and
I
think
Mr
Harrison
alluded
to
this,
but
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
will
be
available.
August
15th.
H
H
Before
December
and
this,
this
Council
will
have
opportunity,
via
the
the
budget
committees
process
this
year,
also
to
ask
for
updates
from
departments
I
believe
we
have
a
date
in
July.
Our
departments
will
be
coming
forward
and
bringing
forward
progress
on
the
the
new
budget
items
that
they
received
this
past
year,
and
then
departments
will
also
be
coming
back
to
present
on
their
proposed
budget,
as
alluded
to
in
September
and
October
of
this
year,
as
well.
Just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
those.
E
Thank
you,
Mr
Harrison.
Next,
in
queue
is
council
member
Ellison.
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Just
a
few
questions.
One
was
around
the
budget
projections
that
we
have
so
far.
You
know
the
mayor
was
attempting
to
kind
of
put
together
this
biennial
model
that
we're
now
sort
of
figuring
out
what
that
means,
and
and
I
know
that
we
put
together
these
budget
projections
around
the
consent.
Decree
back
when
we
had
very
limited
information,
we'd
had
nothing
signed.
We
couldn't
even
really
discuss
things
publicly.
G
H
Yes,
president
Jenkins
councilmember,
Allison
I
think
that
is
accurate
to
State.
You
know
when
we
included
these
numbers
in
the
budget.
We
had
the
limited
information
that
is
available
since
then,
the
settlement
agreement
has
been
has
been
signed
and
we're
seeing
actual
concrete
costs.
H
As
a
result
of
that
agreement
and
I
think
to
reference
back
to
a
couple
of
points,
one
of
the
challenges
is
just
you
know:
what
are
those
future
costs
now,
as
we're
really
wading
into
this
information,
trying
to
understand
the
impacts
on
the
city
and
trying
to
understand
I
think
some
of
the
decision
points
that
are
going
to
be
coming
up
through
too
as
part
of
this
process
for
the
executive
and
for
the
legislative
branches
of
the
city?
You
know,
where
are
these
decision
points
going
to
be
coming
up?
H
I
think
we'll
see
those
affecting
where
we'll
see
those
affecting
the
amount
of
resources
that
are
going
to
be
needed
to
respond
to
the
settlement
agreement.
G
Thank
you
and
I
would
just
add
that
I
I
do
think
that
there
that
this,
that
the
reason
it's
worthwhile
for
us
to
be
especially
transparent
about
and
I
know
that
the
budget
process
is
a
transparent
process,
but
the
reason
I'm
passionate
about
that
would
be
especially
transparent
about
this
process
is
because
it's
a
you
again.
It's
a
unique
situation
and
I
do
think
that
it
comes
that
it
comes
with
unique
interest
from
the
public
and
so
and
I
I.
Think
that
that's
that's.
G
Why
I'm
supporting
the
staff,
Direction
and
I
think
that
if
colleagues
have
you
know,
amendments
were
welcome
to
sort
of
you
know.
Well,
you
know,
vote
on
those
amendments
or
discuss
those
amendments,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
whether
council
members
can
privately
get
information
from
staff.
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
the
discussion
that
we're
having
here
I
think
it's
about
how
we're
being
transparent
with
the
public
on
an
issue
that
is
of
particular
interest
to
the
public.
So
that's
all.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
think
actually,
council
member
Ellison
spoke
to
some
of
the
comments
I
wanted
to
share,
but
I
actually
did
want
to
directly
address
your
question
of
if
this,
if
staff
is
so
readily
willing
to
share
this
information,
why
not
just
get
it
directly
from
them?
Two
council,
member
Chavez,
is
a
point.
That's
not
true
for
all
of
us
on
this
body.
Some
of
us
do
send
emails
requesting
information
and
we
don't
get
it
from
staff.
J
Think
that's
really
important.
And
then
the
second
comment
I
wanted
to
make
is
I.
Think
that
we
really
need
to
rethink
what
our
budget
process
is.
It's
a
very
mature
process
that
has
existed
for
a
very
long
time
under
an
old
government
structure
in
which
the
mayor's
sole
Authority
used
to
be
over
the
police
department
and
over
the
recommended
budget.
That
was
the
primary
lever
of
the
mayor's
office
to
influence
the
direction
of
this
institution.
J
That's
no
longer
the
case
and
so
I
think
this
prioritization
of
the
mayor's
recommendation,
although
is
specified
in
the
city
Charter.
So
there
are
some
Charter
requirements
around
our
budget
process,
but
I
think
our
role
in
this
process
needs
to
be
reevaluated.
J
Given
the
shift
in
government
structure,
so
I
think
we
should
move
forward
with
the
legislative
directive,
both
from
the
perspective
of
providing
that
very
clarifying
interface
between
us
as
decision
makers
around
the
budget
and
the
executive
branch,
and
also
we
should
be
thinking
more
deeply
about
our
budget
process
and
what
roles
city
council
has
to
play
as
we
move
through
that
budget
cycle.
E
L
President
I
think
we're
I
I
want
to
I,
think
we're
in
the
growing
pains
part
still,
and
we
probably
will
be
for
several
years
to
come.
I
know
in
our
adopted
budget
for
this
year.
L
There's
there's
money
set
aside
for
us
to
hire
a
fiscal
analyst
within
the
legislative
department,
and
if
we
were
in
a
place
today
where
we
already
had
that
resource
this,
that's
who
this
legislative
directive
would
likely
be
would
likely
be
directed
to
and
then
like
the
the
staff
member
within
the
legislative
Department
would
be
able
to
pull
this
information
together.
Unfortunately,
that's
not
the
place
we're
in
right
now
and
so
we're
working
with
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
with
what
we
have
I
want
to
just
clarify
a
thing.
L
I
heard
earlier,
I'm,
not
sure
where
it
came
from,
but
just
so
we're
clear.
This
legislative
directive
is
not
directed
towards
the
budget
Department,
that's
not
who
it's
sent
to
it's
actually
sent
to
the
mayor.
The
mayor
decides
who
it's
going
to
go
to
now,
if
the
budget
office
or
finance
and
Property
Services
or
whoever
it
is
that
the
mayor
would
then
decide
to
give
the
directive
to
were
to
say
you
know,
I,
our
our
office
doesn't
have
the
capacity
we
can't
take
this
project
on.
L
Maybe
you
can,
you
know,
give
it
to
a
different
person.
We
don't
we
don't
get
to
oversee
that
process.
That's
that's
entirely
administrative,
that's
entirely
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
executive
branch,
and
so
unfortunately
we
don't
get
to
be
the
Arbiters
of
whether
this
work
comes
to
the
budget
office
or
not.
That's
the
mayor.
Should
this
item
pass
today.
That's
a
great
piece
of
feedback
to
bring
to
the
mayor's
office.
To
then
figure
out.
L
You
know:
where
does
this
go
on
the
priority
list,
or
does
it
even
come
to
your
office
or
you
know,
should
it
go
to
MPD
and
their
their
Finance
director?
Should
it
go
to
the
city
attorney's
office?
Those
unfortunately,
are
choices
that
are
out
of
our
our
realm
of
control,
so
I
just
I
wanted
to
make
that
clarification.
I
also
see
there
are
a
number
of
items
on
on
this
legislative
directive
that
explicitly
wouldn't
go
to
the
budget
office.
They
would
go
to
MPD
the
city,
attorney's
office
procurement
and
so
I.
L
Just
you
know,
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
about.
You
know
when
we
say
when
we
talk
about
the
capacity
of
Staff.
We
are
implying
that
there
are
a
lot
of
different
staff
involved.
I
understand
it.
Can
it
can
be
really,
it
can
be
really
difficult
to
be
in
the
position
of
having
to
represent.
You
know
everyone
in
in
the
in
the
place
that
you're
in
director
right
now,
but
again,
Our
intention
is
never
to
overburden
a
department.
L
E
H
Mr
Harrison,
yes,
president,
Jenkins
and
I
do
just
want
to
be
extra
clear.
You
know
the
budget
office
recognizes
a
lot
of
this
work.
Would
you
know
very
potentially
land
with
the
the
budget
office,
but
I
think
our
overall
recommendation
is
really
geared
toward
the
number
of
Staff
within
the
Departments
that
are
potentially
going
to
be
impacted
by
this,
and
so
it
you
know
the
concern
about.
H
You
know
our
own
capacity
to
support
this
work.
I
think,
is
you
know
it's
it's
founded,
but
more
broadly,
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
speak
to
the
work.
That
departments
would
need
to
do
to
respond
to
just
the
forward-looking
that
projection
element
of
the
legislative
directive
at
it
as
it's
currently
written,
because
you
know
we're
we're
the
budget
office,
we're
not
going
to
be
the
subject
matter.
H
Experts
on
on
any
of
this
we're
going
to
be
relying
on
and
working
with
and
departments,
will
be
working
directly
on
response
to
this
legislative
directive,
and
so
this
is
going
to
more
impact.
I
think
the
Departments
that
would
be
asked
to
respond
to
this
and
that's
where
again
I'm,
making
that
recommendation
departments
are
going
to
be
doing
this
work.
H
It's
going
to
be
more
than
just
one
Department
affected
by
this,
and
as
directed
or
as
written
in
the
legislative
directive
really
are
asking
for
that
work
to
happen
on
an
accelerated
timeline
and-
and
that's
where
we're
saying
you
know,
could
we
please
use
the
use
the
process,
the
Department's,
already
kind
of
plan
and
out
in
order
to
make
that
response
just
wanted
to
offer
that
clarification?
Thank
you.
N
You,
madam
president,
and
I,
appreciate
your
comments
about
the
concern
with
staff
capacity.
That's
one
that
I
certainly
share
as
well
around
this
I
appreciate
councilmember,
Ellison's
idea
or
mentioning
around
how
this
should
be
presented,
perhaps
separately.
That's
something
that,
given
the
concerns
around
staff
capacity
I
would
be
interested
in
on
or
after
August,
15th
I
think.
N
It
makes
sense
after
listening
to
this
discussion,
for
it
to
go
through
our
typical
budget
process,
but
to
have
that
information
pulled
out,
then
on
or
after
August
15th
and
have
a
separate
presentation
for
the
council.
I
think
would
make
a
lot
of
sense.
That
way,
it
elevates
it
publicly
and
there
can
be
a
more
robust
discussion,
because
I
think
this
information
is
important.
N
Information
to
have,
and
lastly,
I
would
just
share
my
own
personal
perspective,
just
in
general
within
the
Enterprise
is
that
I
have
not
been
able
to
always
get
information
when
I
go
and
request
it
of
staff,
and
it
there
certainly
is
I've
heard.
The
word
said
at
this
meeting.
A
learning
curve
and
I
agree
with
that.
N
So
I,
don't
think
this
is
unique
to
City,
Hall
I
think
that's
part
of
being
involved
in
a
large
organization
and
what's
really
essential
with
that
is
building
relationships
and
I
do
have
concerns
around
how
staff
directions
when
we're
not
being
sensitive
to
the
concerns
of
Staff
around
capacity
things
like
that,
how
that
can
ultimately
harm
these
relationships
and,
frankly,
just
make
it
harder
to
get
the
information
that
we
need,
and
that
said
to
council
member
Chavez's
point
we're
also
a
legislative
body.
N
We
do
have
authority
around
this,
so
I
don't
want
to
say
we
should
never
utilize.
That
I
think
there
are
times
and
places
for
that,
but
I
think
in
this
case,
looking
at
everything
that
makes
sense
to
for
me
not
to
vote
for
this
staff
Direction,
but
to
support
efforts
in
getting
this
information
before
the
committee.
At
or
after
August
15th
thank
you.
K
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
I
I
hear
the
the
need
to
have
this
information
parceled
out,
for
as
we
go
through
our
budget
committee
process
and
I
commit
to
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
do
that
and
Elevate
that
and
I
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
the
budget
committee's
process
and
I
I
have
shared
this
year's
budget
committee
process
via
email
with
everyone,
and
although
of
course,
I
am
absolutely
open
to
discussions
of
how
we
can
continue
to
improve
that
I
have
made
some
adjustments
actually
to
the
budget
process.
K
This
year,
I
actually
only
had
one
council
member
respond
to
me
afterwards,
just
to
discuss
the
process
that
I
laid
out
so
I
I
encourage
my
council
members
to
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
that
email.
It
went
to
both
you
and
your
staff
and
happy
to
connect
about
any
questions
that
you
might
have
as
we
move
forward
on
that
process
too.
Thank
you.
