C
Thank
you,
chair,
Elson
I,
just
had
a
question
about
number
16.
Is
that
all
right
to
ask
that
now
or.
A
Yeah
go
ahead
and
ask
I'll:
hopefully
we
have
someone
in
the
chamber
who
can
answer,
but
if
not,
we
can
always
follow
up.
Okay,.
C
Yeah,
my
question
is
just
that:
it
seems
that
this
is
the
fourth
contract
increase
that
we've
done,
I
believe
for
this
project.
So
I
was
just
wondering
if
someone
could
speak
to
this
I.
Think
in
the
past,
we've
had
some
more
detail,
and
so
I
was
just
wondering
if
anybody
was
here
to
help
us
understand
a
little
bit
more
of
Why
We
are
continuing
to
see
the
repeated
increase.
A
Do
we
have
staff
in
the
chamber
who
can
answer
questions
on
item
number
16.?
It
does
not
look,
doesn't
look
so
but
I
I
can
ask
staff
to
follow.
A
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilman
murkowski,
councilmember
wansley.
D
Thank
you,
chair
Ellison
I
had
a
question
around
item
three
related
to
the
capital
project
appropriation.
Do
we
have
someone
from
Property
Services
or
it
might
be
MPD?
Who
could
speak
to
this
item?.
E
Chair
Ellison
council
member
wansley,
I'm
Adam
Blum
with
the
budget
office,
depending
on
the
nature
of
the
question
I,
might
call
on
a
counterpart
from
Property
Services.
To
answer
thank.
D
You
so
much
Adam
I
just
had
a
clarifying
question.
So
is
this
for
that
Capital
Investments.
Is
this
additional
request
of
dollars?
I
I
think
I
couldn't
reconcile
an
agenda
setting
if
we
were
saying
we
had
originally
approved
if
it
was
6
million
for
this
investment
project,
but
there's
a
need
for
additional
million
dollars.
So
just
trying
to
reconcile
the
case
for
that.
Yes,.
E
D
F
Charles
and
and
vice
chair
wansley,
without
with
what
we
know
today
and
working
together
with
the
developer
that
we're
working
on
this
project,
that's
the
the
path
that
we're
on
so
yeah.
Really.
This
is
just
moving
from
when
the
development
agreement
was
signed
to
win
the
original
budget.
This
is
forwarding
that
million
dollars
to
make
that
work
as
the
budget
was
set
up
before
the
development
agreement
was
signed.
So
this
is
aligning
those
two
pieces
together:
okay,.
D
And
asking
I
might
need
your
help
again,
Adam,
because
I
know
you
mentioned
that
18
million,
because
I
know
there
was
also
Investments,
as
conversations
are
happening
around
the
third
precinct,
for
instance,
that
there
were
18
million.
Allocating
you're
saying
this.
18
million
is
just
for
this
Precinct.
Just
the
first
precinct
correct.
D
So
just
wanted
to
slack
for
folks.
We've
got
a
couple
capital
projects
that
are
going
to
be
substantial
around
our
Precinct,
so
just
wanted
to
flag
that.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Vice,
chair
wansley.
Are
there
any
further
questions
on
the
consent
agenda?
It
doesn't
look
like
it.
Thank
you
all.
So
much
for
answering
questions
from
Council.
We've
got
additional
questions
from
the
vice
chair.
Alongside
oh.
D
A
Vote
so
item
three
has
been
pulled
so
on
items
one
two
and
four
through
eighteen
us
then
then
let's
call
the
roll
on
that
oh
yeah
voice.
Sorry,
all
those
in
favor
of
passing
items,
one
two
and
four
through
eighteen
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
all
those
posts
in
a
the
consent
items
are
approved
and
then
now
we
have
item
three
which
we
can
call
to
roll
on.
Unless
there's
any
additional
conversation
all
right.
Let's
call
the
roll
on
item
three
council
member.
B
A
All
right,
and
then
we
have
a
few,
a
few
more
just
notes
to
things.
I
wanted
to
note
before
we
move
on,
but
I
do
see
that
council
member
Chavez
has
put
himself
in.
G
A
On
item
16.
yep
noted,
so
those
items
are
approved
before
we
move
on
to
our
presentations.
I
wanted
to
note
for
the
public
and
for
my
colleagues
that
we
had
previously
postponed
two
salaried
positions
related
to
the
director
of
partnership
and
Outreach,
and
the
appointed
position
of
police
reform
and
implementation
senior
advisor.
A
Those
pending
items
have
been
redirected
to
the
budget
committee
as
a
result
of
a
legislative
directive
at
our
May
25th
council
meeting,
and
so
budget
will
be
meeting
tomorrow
and
June
13th
at
1
pm
to
discuss
those
items
as
a
part
of
its
agenda
and
I
believe
there
should
be
a
presentation
on
regarding
the
legislative
director
that
should
be
coming
to
that
as
well,
and
so
any
future
appointed
positions.
A
Items
that
might
have
previously
come
through
Pogo
will
now
be
going
through
the
budget
committee
since
we're
now
starting
to
have
budget
committees
from
from
this
point
to
the
end
of
the
year.
So
I
just
wanted
that
to
be
noted.
For
my
colleagues
and
for
the
public
we
we
next,
we
have
a
presentation
related
to
master
contracts
with
various
vendors
for
temporary
staffing
services
for
various
City
departments
and
divisions
and
I'll
now
invite
staff
to
begin
their
presentation
on
this
item.
H
H
You
know
most
most
City
departments,
certainly
not
all,
but
but
many
City
departments
always
have
over
I
mean
I've,
been
with
the
city
for
24
years.
I've
always
noticed
to
be
utilizing
Staffing
Services
of
some
sort
at
the
city.
You
know
it
depended
on
whether
or
not
it
was
long-term
or
short
term,
but
for
the
use
of
staffing
agencies.
Particularly
many
of
them
are
very
short-term
rapid
deployment
needed
of
a
Personnel
temporary
Personnel,
but
they
tend
to
be
used
for
things
like
special
projects
that
aren't
associated
with
a
full-time,
budgeted
position.
H
Unexpected
absences
things
like
leave
of
absences
or
FMLA,
where
you
can't,
you
know,
replace
an
employee.
You
just
need
you
know
two
to
three
four
month
service
or
sort
of
a
surge
capacity
for
special
events,
I
would
say
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
we
have
had
a
heightened
need
for
temporary
services,
for
everything
from
you
have
had
a
surge
in
sort
of
short-term
Project
work
and
temporary
needs
due
to
the
arpa
funded
special
projects
and
the
temporary
staff
needed
to
staff
those
positions.
H
H
Those
have
really
led
the
way
to
Bringing
on
more
temporary
staff,
while
permanent
jobs
are
posted
and
filled.
And
you
know
the
use
of
temporary
staffing
agencies
is
really
a
very
effective
and
efficient
way
to
bring
staff
on
board
in
a
very
quick
manner.
Rapid
deployment.
We
can
oftentimes
fill
those
positions
and
get
someone
in
seat
within
a
week,
and
then
they
also
have.
We
have
a
few
staffing
agencies
that
provide
very
specialized
skills.
H
You
know:
staff
with
very
specialized
accounting
skills
and
government,
accounting
and
I.T
related
skills
as
well.
So
we
specifically
looked
for
vendors,
who
could
provide
those
some
of
those
specialized
skills
as
well
yeah
in
the
past,
City
departments
have
always
when
they've
needed
the
use
of
in
the
services
of
temporary
staffing
agencies,
they've
just
sort
of
independently
contracted
for
those
Services
themselves
individually,
one
by
one,
you
know,
and
they
all
sort
of
recreate
the
process.
H
In
the
wheel,
over
and
over
and
over
again
and
then
even
really,
knowing
which
staffing
agencies
provide
really
good
outstanding
services
and
recruiting,
and
so
this
process
is
to
centralize
that
Master
Contracting
and
it
gives
departments
quick
access
to
a
pool
of
vetted
agencies
and
a
really
coordinated
process
to
utilize.
Those
services.
H
Some
of
the
selection
criteria
used
really
the
the
alignment
to
the
scope
of
services,
as
stated
in
the
RFP
sort
of
the
experience
of
their
staff
and
the
types
of
occupational
groups
that
they
have
Staffing
for
the
capacity
and
sort
of
their
bench
strength.
How
many
you
know
individuals
do
they
have
ready
to
be
deployed
at
any
given
time
their
billing
rates,
both
really
high
and
really
low
and
and
frankly,
references
from
current
clients
and
and
their
their
their
satisfaction
with
the
services
that
they
provide.
H
All
of
the
vendors
that
we
selected
the
five
vendors
they're,
all
local
or
have
local
offices.
They
all
have
experience
working
with
governmental
entities
and
kind
of
really
understand
right.
The
the
needs
that
we
have
and
the
types
of
roles
that
we
have.
H
The
vendors
all
of
the
vendors
can
provide
really
a
vast
array
and
a
multitude
of
Occupational
types
and
skill
sets
some
examples.
They
all
have
clerical
administrative,
Financial,
Human,
Resources,
I.T,
customer
service,
Health,
Care
related
legal
and
payroll,
just
to
mention
some,
some
of
them
specialize
in
certain
areas.
For
instance,
22nd
century
Technologies
provides
a
lot
of
I.T
Staffing
services,
but
they
do
have
capacity
for
other
types
of
work
as
well.
H
We
have
oh
I
believe
there
are
three
City
departments
currently
who
are
looking
for
Staffing
Services
through
temporary
agencies
for
some
very
specialized
skill
sets.
So
we
are
they're
looking
forward
to
these
getting
approved
and
getting
folks
on
board
as
soon
as
possible,
and
then
we
have
also
created
a
centralized
process
for
the
work
order
requests
and
then
we
can
coordinate
that
through
human
resources
and
procurement,
both
from
a
a
need
perspective
and
then
really
a
centralized
relationship
management
with
the
five
temp
agencies
through
human
resources.
H
D
H
Now
I
understand
that
the
city
clerk's
office
finance
and
we
are
also
looking
for
potentially
a
class
comp
specialist
in
human
resources
picture.
D
And
with
the
17
vacancy
rates
that
we
have
I
know
we're
getting
a
presentation
tomorrow
through
budget,
but
it
seems
like
it
might
be
a
short
presentation
around
just
how
FTE
structures
have
been
established,
I'm
interested
to
know
if
we've
seen
certain
trends
of
certain
departments
needing
you
know
more
of
these
temp
services,
as
we're
trying
to
you
know,
fill
up
FTE
positions
across
the
city,
entreprize
to
hopefully
decrease
that
17
vacancy
rate.
H
Being
being
in
Talent
acquisition
myself
a
lot
of
the
vacancy
rate,
a
good
proportion
of
it
is
in
law
enforcement,
which
you
know
is
not
something
that
you're
going
to
utilize
the
staffing
service
for,
but
I
would
say
that
those
where
departments
where
there's
been
an
increased
workload
Finance,
for
instance,
accounting
positions,
payroll,
has
always
been
a
big
one
and
it
apparel
needs
to
get
out
and
if
they
have
four
unanticipated
resignations
or
you
know
all
of
a
sudden.
Somebody
needs
to
be
out
on
a
leave
of
absence.
H
They
need
a
quick
deployment
to
bring
someone
on
to
get
payroll
completed,
so
they
will
often
use
the
services
of
a
staffing
company.
The
attorney's
office
has
used
quite
a
few
in
the
past
for
things
like
paralegal
services
or
legal
support,
Specialists,
occasionally
even
bringing
in
an
entry
level
attorney
on
a
for
a
special
project.
H
A
Thank
you,
Vice,
chair
councilmember.
Thank.
C
C
Have
you
seen
that
due
to
the
rates
or
is
that
or
have
we
or
are
we
utilizing
this
type
of
service
and
in
full
disclosure?
This
is
the
exact
this
is
the
career
I
came
from
was
a
staffing
and
Consulting
agency
so
help
deploy
people.
So
that's
just
the
Curiosity
of
knowing,
like
you
know,
is
this
million
dollars
per
organization.
Has
that
been
typical,
or
is
this
kind
of
a
new
new
budget
amount.
H
Charleston
councilmemberkowski,
there
hasn't
been
a
really
great
way
to
quantify,
as
each
individual
department
has
contracted
with
their
own
temp
service.
You
know
agency
over
probably
the
past
I
think.
The
last
time
we
had
Master
contracts
in
place
was
about
10
years
ago,
but
generally
speaking,
as
we've
worked
with
procurement
to
pull
some
of
those
contracts,
a
million
dollars
is
probably
not
typical,
I
would
say
over
the
last
three
years.
You
know
during
the
pandemic
and
we've
needed
folks.
It's
been
really
really
tough.
Getting,
especially
if
it's.
H
If
it's
an
on-site,
you
know
fully
not
remote
position.
They
have
utilized
those
Services
being
able
to
even
temp
agencies
have
been
having
labor
shortages
too.
I
would
say
that
it's
probably
higher
here,
then
we
would
probably
need,
but
again,
we've
not
had
a
a
ready
pool
of
staffing
agencies
ready
to
go
for
a
department
for
quick
ease.
H
I
think
we
will
probably
see
more
utilization
of
the
staffing
temp
agencies
than
we
have
on
over
the
last
10
years,
where
the
typical
process
would
have
been
for
HR
to
open
up
a
temporary
position
and-
and
just
you
know,
recruit
and
solicit
our
own
and
I
would
say
over
the
last
probably
six
months,
where
we've
done
that.
We've
gotten
very,
very
few
candidates
interested
in
temporary
positions
outside
of
a
staffing
agency.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
That's
that's,
really
helpful
and
yes,
I
mean
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
smart
way
to
augment
our
teams
and
I
support.
This
fully
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
understand
and
I
do
think
the
way
we
work
and
the
the
way
our
environment
is
right
now
with
vacancies
that
this
is
a
you
know,
a
healthy
way
to
be,
like
I,
said,
augmenting
our
teams
and
supporting
them.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councilmember
murkowski,
we've
got
a
few
questions
from
Vice,
chair
wansley,
but
I
did
want
to
allow
the
clerk
just
to
chime
in
real
quick.
J
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I
was
asking
for
the
organization
only
to
add
on
to
what
was
said
here
by
Miss
Krueger.
The
clerk's
office
does
take
a
lot
of
advantage
of
these
types
of
Master
contracts
and
have
been
pushing
for
it
for
a
number
of
years.
As
you
might
imagine,
the
seasonal
Staffing
that
we
need
for
elections
in
terms
of
just
general,
administrative
and
clerical
support
is
significant.
J
We
also
have
experienced
that
over
the
years
in
the
ward
offices,
where,
because
there
are
only
two
aides,
when
we
have
a
need
immediately
for
helping
to
Resource
Ward
offices
with
some
temporary
help
that
is
helpful
to
us,
we
also
have
very
specialized
assistance
in
our
information
governance
division
that
helps
with
data
practices.
These
are
attorneys
who
understand
the
government,
data
practices,
law
and
so
finding
those
people
paralegals
and
attorneys
to
come
into
that,
and
we're
always
having
the
need
for
project
managers
for
special
projects
that
crop
up.
J
The
council
is
asking
us
to
take
on
so
having
the
ability
to
work
off
these
Master
contracts.
Not
only
provides
us
with
that
qualified
support
that
is
vetted
by
these
agencies
and
through
our
human
resources
department,
which
all
25
of
our
departments
can
take
advantage
of.
It
really
streamlines
the
process.
It
makes
it
faster
and
more
efficient,
absent
these
Master
contracts.
J
The
way
that
process
works
is
I,
go
to
HR,
I,
say:
I,
have
a
need:
I
work
with
HR
human
resources
to
develop
a
request
for
services
that
has
to
go
out
through
the
competitive
procurement
process.
There's
several
months,
just
reviewing
the
bids
and
the
processes,
and
then
we
have
to
interview
and
select
someone,
and
by
the
time
we've
got
someone
on
it's
not
inconceivable
that
we've
taken
three
or
four
months
just
to
find
a
temp
so
having
these
Master
contracts,
although
I
I
do
acknowledge,
they
are
quite
large,
as
Ms
Kruger
indicated.
J
This
was
I
think
a
very
positive,
successful
story
for
the
Enterprise
to
talk
about
how
we
really
leverage
these
contracts
in
a
way
that
enables
the
Departments
to
quickly
and
and
more
nimbly
move
towards
these
needs,
as
we
still
address
our
permanent
staffing
issues,
which,
of
course,
the
audit
that
came
in
very
late
last
year
said
this
is
a
top
concern
for
the
city
and
so
not
to
downplay
the
significance
of
vacancies
and
Recruitment
and
full-time
employment.
This
specialized
need
to
fill
a
very
definite
need
across
the
Enterprise
that
has
felt
significantly.
J
A
Thank
you
for
that
perspective.
Mr
Clark,
Vice,
chair
wensley,.
D
Thank
you,
chair
I
was
saying
just
I'm
trying
to
get
to
the
fiscal
note
on
the
RCA,
but
I
recall,
typically
what
city
budgets
or
Department
budgets
there's
usually
allocations
for
contractual
services.
So
just
thinking
of
again
recognizing
you
know
the
five
million
dollar
price
tag,
but
just
thinking
of
the
financial
piece
are
the
respective
departments
using
their
either
contractual
Services
dollars
that
often
they
have
access
to
that.
This
body
approve
that
is,
that
being
used
to
then
fund
these
vendors
where's
charge
chair.
H
Ellison
Vice,
chair
wansley,
that
is
true,
so
they're
in
the
fiscal
analysis.
It
is
each
each
department
pays
for
their
own
and
it
would
come
out
of
their
non-personnel
contractual
services
and
when
the
work
orders
come
through
in
this
decentralized
process,
both
through
human
resources
and
then
through
procurement,
is
to
ensure
that
there's
that
funding
there
as
well
as
to
look
at
you
know
the
spend
over
a
three-year
time
period,
to
see
if
there's
some
Trends
and
themes.
D
Awesome-
and
it
does
seem
like
you-
acknowledge
that
in
your
slide
to
of
you
know,
coming
out
of
pre
post
covid
and
posts
with
quotation
marks,
where
we
of
course
seen
in
2020
this
growing
rate
around
vacancies
at
the
city
and
I
think
clerk
are
always
that
of
you
know.
This
is
a
significant
problem
that
we're
faced
with
in
our
entreprize
right
now,
but
just
seeing
did
you
recognize
any
patterns
where
we
utilize
these
Services
less?
It
seems
like,
for
maybe
some
departments.
D
It
was
pretty
consistent
and
needing
you
know
this
particular
you
know
short-term
service,
but
are
we
seeing
necessarily
an
increase?
You
know
pulse
covet.
H
Chair
Olson,
Vice,
chairman
wansley,
that's
a
really
good
question.
I
guess
I
would
say
that
where
I
have
seen,
the
need
for
temporary
has
been
either
Grant
funds
received.
H
Or
and
those
those
are
in
certain
areas,
you
know,
for
instance,
the
the
regulatory
service
department
received
some
big
grants
a
few
years
ago
for
extra
Code,
Compliance
or
okay,
come
from
the
old
world
called
traffic
control
right.
D
H
From
from
MnDOT
right
due
to
bridge
closures,
and
so
the
need
for
for
Traffic
Control,
they
had
probably
25
positions
and
again
they
were
that
short
term.
We
needed
somebody
for
six
months
or
or
for
a
year,
so
you
could
have
utilized.
You
know
temporary
staff
agencies
that
way
as
well
women.
We
did
a
massive
recruitment
campaign
and
and
hired
them,
but
we
could
have
utilized
it
in
that
particular
way.
I
think
if
we
would
have
had
Master
contracts,
other
departments
again
I
do
see
Trends.
They
typically
need
someone.
H
D
And
thank
you
for
flagging
the
grant
piece
I'm,
just
knowing
with
some
of
the
you
know,
Statewide
developments
where
there's
likely
going
to
be
maybe
departments
going
after
some
of
those
grants.
Also
just
thinking
of
the
inflationary
reduction
act
we're
going
to
see
at
some
point
some
federal
dollars
coming
in
to
sustainability.
So
again
these
Grant
pieces
and
might
not
have
you
know
the
long-term
Staffing
available,
because
some
of
them
are
short-term.
You
know
one-time
funding.
D
A
Thank
you,
my
sure,
wansley
and,
and
then
thanks
to
all
my
colleagues
thank
you
to
clerk
Carl
for
the
context
around
like
why
this
is
a
really
important
direction
for
us
to
be
moving
in
I
had
like
one
one
question,
just
kind
of
related.
If
there's
any
relation
between
these
temp
services
and
the
vacancy
rate,
do
we
ever
see
folks
moving
into
permanent
positions
when,
when
we've
hired
them
from
these
positions,
you
know
poaching
folks,
so
to
speak?
Do
we
see?
Does
that?
Does
that
happen?
A
I
guess
when
we
see
people
do
a
good
enough
job,
yeah.
H
All
of
these
vendors
also
have
attempt
to
hire
sort
of
formulas,
and
so
one
of
our
selection
criteria,
too,
was
looking
at
those
that
have
sort
of
the
the
smallest
charges
and
formulas
for
that
for
that
temp
to
hire
service.
Yes,
right.
A
Great
I
mean
I,
think
it's
for
that
reason,
and
a
lot
of
the
context
that
the
clerk
gave,
but
I
think
this
is
really
kind
of
a
feel-good
story
for
the
Enterprise
for
us
to
be
able
to
consolidate
this
this
work
and
and
streamline
our
ability
to
deliver
services
and
get
people
in
these
roles.
So
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
I'm
not
seeing
any
further
questions
from
my
colleagues.
Thank.
A
All
right,
seeing
no
further
discussion
on
this
item.
I
will
move
this
item
for
approval.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye.
C
A
All
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
that
item
is
approved.
Next
we
have
a
presentation
related
to
a
contract
with
Hennepin
Healthcare
System
Inc
for
Reproductive
Healthcare
Services
I'll
now
invite
staff
to
begin
their
presentation.
A
K
So,
as
you're
very
aware,
the
2023
budget
included
one-time
funding
of
300
000
to
support
Minneapolis
residents
ability
to
access
abortion
care
after
the
overturning
of
roll
v.
Wade
Council
also
requested
a
thirty
thousand
dollar
hold
back
to
support
reproductive
or
culturally
relevant
reproductive
health
education
and
through
some
internal
conversations
at
the
health
department.
We,
it
was
requested
that
the
hold
back
be
increased
to
a
hundred
thousand
to
actually
support
two
organizations
at
fifty
thousand.
K
So
during
quarter
one
we
conducted
two
competitive
processes,
one
for
the
culturally
relevant,
comprehensive
sex,
ed
and
one
for
comprehensive
reproductive
Health
Access
funding.
K
For
the
larger
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
reproductive
Health
Access
funding,
we
had
two
organ
organizations
apply
and
we
intend
to
fund
Hennepin
Health
Care
they're
between
us
program,
which
provides
essential
access
to
confidential
reproductive
and
sexual
health
care
at
all
of
their
Primary
Care
Community
clinics
for
youth
in
young
people.
K
K
So
the
short-term
outcomes
expected
are
about
10
new
patients
a
week
with
an
anticipated
caseload
of
200
patients.
At
the
current
time
since
the
beginning
of
this
year,
there's
been
111
patients
receiving
abortion
Care
at
Hennepin.
K
A
You
michelia
we've
got
a
few
questions.
I'll
call
on
Vice,
chair
wansley,.
D
And
first,
thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
I
was
really
excited
to
see
this
come
through
to
Pogo
as
really
a
tangible
kind
of
materialization
of
of
the
work
that
this
body
did
early.
You
know
last
year
after
the
follow,
Roe
v,
Wade
and
I
just
want
to
also
uplift
councilmember
Chuck
Tai.
D
Both
her
and
I
work
very
closely
to
get
this
allocation
and
get
the
formation
of
abortion
access
fund
at
the
city
level
and
also
working
with
our
partners
at
the
county,
who
also
have
an
abortion
access
fund
too,
and
have
that
be
moved
through,
not
only
the
Marin's
budget,
as
you
noted,
but
also
to
see
that
cultural
relevancy
piece
be
strengthened
and
I
believe
that
was
through
a
council
member
Osmond's
efforts
too.
So
just
want
to
say
you
know
this
is
really
exciting
to
see.
D
You
know
this
work
be
moved
forward
and
do
doing
so
with
a
crucial
partner
with
some
of
the
neighborhood
groups
that
you
reference
for
the
cultural
relevant
piece,
but
also
with
Hennepin
Health
that
has
a
far
larger.
You
know
jurisdiction
than
us
to
actually
really
get
residents
into
these
services
and
really
excited
about
that
post,
Aftercare
piece
to
let
folks
know
you
know
you
do
not
have
to
go
through
this
experience
Alone
and
that
there
are
Supportive
Services
for
you.
D
So
I
was
so
excited
to
see
this
I
hope
at
you
know
future
public
health
and
safety
committee.
We
can
get
the
follow-up
on
this
once
data
starts
coming
in
and
really
just
be
proud
of
this
work
that
you
know
we
showed
up
for
in
a
time
where
a
many
many
of
our
leaders
did
not
nationally
and
many
of
our
residents
were
feeling
a
great
deal
of
Despair
about
their
reproductive
options
in
our
city.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
work
in
making
this
possible
and
getting
some
really
great
Partners
involved.
I
K
I
K
A
Right,
councilmember,
Johnson.
L
Thank
you
Mr
chair,
and
this
is
sparked
off
of
something
the
vice
chair
said
so
I
I
actually
wasn't
aware
that
the
county
had
an
abortion
access
fund.
L
Do
you
can
you
provide
these
Hills
over
what
they're
using
it
for,
and
maybe
where
I'm
going
with
this
in
case,
it
was
helpful
to
understand
is
that
the
county
is
responsible
for
funding
Hennepin,
Health
Care.
My
understanding
is
that
happen.
Healthcare
is
underfunded
overall,
broadly
and
there's
lots
of
need
within
the
system
and
I
know
multiple
staff
over
there
and
the
burnout
levels,
and
all
of
that-
and
so
you
know,
obviously
it's
good
to
see
more
fun
and
go
to
end
up
in
healthcare,
but
I'm
curious.
L
K
Chair
Ellison
and
council
member
Johnson
I
am
not
sure
exactly
what
their
own
abortion
fund
would
be.
They
just
started
implementing
abortions
at
two
of
the
nine
clinics
in
like
the
past
year
since
Roe
fell.
Basically
so
I'd
be
happy
to
get
some
more
context
for
you
and
get
back
to
you
and.
D
So,
actually
that
Minneapolis
LED
on
it-
and
it
wasn't
until
after
the
mayor
included
this
item
in
his
budget-
that
the
henna
band
Commissioners
decided
to
move
forward
with
their
own
abortion
access
fund
I,
think
that
was
approved
in
the
fall.
This
came
forward
in
August
from
my
understanding
they
allocated
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
towards
their
abortion
access
fund
and
also
from
my
understanding,
there
was
a
lot
of
close
collaboration
between
our
accounting
Partners
in
the
city
to
really
figure
out.
D
How
do
we
streamline
these
abortions
because
they're
really
they're
new?
This
was
the
first
type
of
fund
established
for
both
governmental
agencies,
so
collectively
the
goal
was
to
bring
in
about
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
see
how
this
goes
and
now
that
we
have
a
lot
of
resources
at
this
day.
I'm
pretty
sure
we'll
talk
through
that
igr.
What
would
it
look
like
to
scale
up
and
expand
the
type
of
resources
based
off
of
how
this
partnership
goes?
L
L
Yeah,
thank
you.
Vice,
chair,
wansley
and,
and
you
know,
I-
think
kind
of
the
critical
question
I
have
too
is
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
Hennepin
County
gonna
ultimately
increase
the
funding
over
Hennepin
Health
Care.
You
know
if
my
understanding
is
I
really
I,
don't
want
to
Bosh
the
numbers
but
like
even
at
a
per
capita
level.
L
If
you
look
at
some
other
major
cities,
I
I
think
we're
or
other
major
County,
Hospital,
Systems
I
think
hadn't
been
Health
cares
at
least
underfunded
by,
like
tens
or
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars,
annually
massive
shortfall
and
so
I'm
I'm
curious
about
that
and
ultimately
I
hope
that
what
we
see
from
the
county
is
more
investment
within
this
safety
net
healthcare
system,
which
is
really
critical
for
residents
that
they
rely
on
all
across
our
city
for
many
different
Services
as
well,
and
so
my
line
of
questioning
is
less
about
about
this
fund
and,
more
so
around
generally
kind
of
been
Healthcare
System
and
the
level
of
funding
that
they
receive.
L
And
then
I
did
have
another
follow-up
question:
can
you
help
us
get
a
sense
around
so
you're
talking
about
workflow
process,
Improvement,
basically
and
and
I
think
Vice,
chair
wansley,
might
have
answered
this
to
a
degree.
K
Arlington
and
council
member
Johnson
right
now,
because
the
between
us
program
already
has
kind
of
these
connections
across
the
system
because
they
go
in
and
really
work
with
these
different
Clinic
sites
to
become
more
adolescent,
Health,
friendly,
so
they're,
already
kind
of
know
the
people
within
the
within
the
clinics.
K
It
made
sense
to
to
house
this
new
person
within
that
program
because
and
actually
I
think
the
thought
is
there
is
someone
there
that's
already
kind
of
started
doing
this
work,
but
they're
really
trying
to
streamline,
get
people
in
that
need
the
service
or
think
that
they
need
this
service.
They
want
to
know
what
their
options
are
and
there's
just
no
process
there
right
now.
So
it's
to
have
this
better
kind
of
care
coordination
again,
there's
only
two
clinics
that
are
actually
providing
abortion
care
across
online.
K
K
Is
that
there's
just
a
lot
of
kind
of
confusion
right
now
about
how
to
easily
get
where
they
need
to
go
and
find
the
right
providers?
I,
don't
know
if
I
answered
your
question.
L
H
K
Yeah,
my
understanding
is
that
kind
of
out
of
the
care
that
a
couple
of
folks
over
there
have
they're
just
doing
it,
because
it
needs
to
be
done
sure.
H
K
They've
kind
of
started
this
process,
and
then
there
was
this
opportunity
to
actually
get
funding
for
a
year
and
their
hope
is
to
really
get
it
figured
out
by
the
end
of
the
year
so
that
they
have
kind
of
a
solid
system
over
there
to
ensure
this
type
of
care.
Great.
L
Thank
you
and
I
have
one
last
question.
Mr
chair,
and
this
is
I-
knew
that
when
there
were
conversations
before
this
was
even
included
in
the
budget,
there
were
legal
concerns
around
directly
funding
abortions
themselves
using
taxpayer
dollars,
and
it
doesn't
sound
like
that's
going
to
be
the
case
here.
This
is
just
about
helping
this
underfunded
system
kind
of
been
Health
Care
with
actual
process
Improvement.
How
you
deliver
that
care
coordination
for
patients.
K
Council
or
chair
Allison
council
member
Johnson-
yes,
because
there
was
a
lot
of
public
purpose
expectations
around
this
money.
This
was
one
way
to
have
this
type
of
fund
work
without
providing
direct
reimbursement.
You
know
to
to
patients,
it's
really
about
funding
this
person's
position
to
assist
in
this
coordination
and
the
aftercare
so
and
I'm
sure
the
City
attorney
here
could
answer
any
other
questions
about
that.
K
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Johnson
and
then
Vice
chair
wansley.
Did
you
still
have
additional
there?
You.
D
Go
oh
yeah.
This
isn't
relevant
to
you
but
again
since
we
have
igr
tomorrow
and
we
have
the
chair
of
igr
I
think
it
would
be
great
and
I'm
pretty
sure
director
topinka
will
go
through
some
of
the
Investments,
hopefully
through
the
public
option,
around
Healthcare
and
hopefully
seeing
that
Investments
go
to
our
Public
Health
Care
Centers
like
Independence,
so
yeah.
You
know
to
address
the
very
things
that
you
highlight
of
the
underfunding
that
has
happened
across
all
of
our
public
institutions.
D
So
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
about
that
part
and
if
there's
ways
in
which
that
again
those
grants,
that's
going
to
be
opening
up
Statewide
how
it
actually
helps
to
supplement
this
type
of
work
too.
Because
again
these
were
one-time
funds,
so
making
sure
there's
continuity.
You
know
continuity
after
they're
done,
so
we
can
keep
having
that
type
of
intentional
coordination,
because
I
think
that's
also
being
reconciled
at
the
state
that
we
likely
will
have
folks
coming
to
Minneapolis
and
coming
to
Minnesota
to
seek
abortions.
D
And
how
are
we
having
you
know,
responsive
health
care
sense
systems,
that's
going
to
be
ready
for
that
influx,
and
hopefully
this
is
one
of
the
ways
we
can
definitely
support.
Residents
here
also
be
in
mind,
like
those
changing
dynamics
of
folks,
see
us
as
island
or
of
Refuge
for
providing
quality
abortion.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
about
the
public
health
Investments.
That's
going
to
tend
to
that
reality
that
we're
currently
in.
A
Not
seeing
any
further
questions,
I
just
want
to
Echo
the
the
thank
you
on
this
partnership.
I
know,
a
couple
of
my
colleagues
have
have
have
have
thank
you
for
the
partnership
and
we're
get
we're
talking
about
just
the
contract
here
right
I
know
we
haven't
actually
gotten
through
services
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
hopefully
we
can
get
that
follow-up.
A
You
know
a
year
from
now,
maybe
we'll
be
in
public
health
and
safety.
Talking
about
some
of
the
successes
that
we've
had
here
and
again,
this
is
one
of
those
things
like
our
previous
item
that
we
could
have
just
easily
passed
on
consent,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
and
I,
and
the
Vice
chair
wansley
thinks
it's
really
important
that
we
talk
about
these
kinds
of
things
that
the
public
is
going
to
have
interest
in.
A
Maybe
we
will
at
some
point
see
abortion
access,
even
direct
funding
as
a
as
a
a
a
a
public
purpose
that
we
can
use
funds
for
in
the
meantime,
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
way
for
us
to
fund
these
Partnerships
get
moving
on
this
work
and
again
just
really
happy
to
see
this.
This
contract
coming
through
committee
today,
so
that
we're
gonna
take
our
vote
and
thank
you
again
for
the
presentation.
Thank.
A
Seeing
no
further
discussion,
I
will
move
this
item
for
approval,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
that
item
is
approved
with
that.
We've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
community
today
and
if
there's
no
objections,
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
