From YouTube: June 25, 2020 City leaders provide update
Description
Officials from the City of Minneapolis will share updates on violence prevention efforts, COVID-19 response and ongoing recovery work, among other topics. (low audio until 2:58)
B
Know
that
we
need
to
mobilize
strategies
working
with
our
community
partners
and
the
agencies
that
the
office
of
violence
prevention
works
with.
It
will
be
essential
that
we
work
in
partnership
to
develop
a
strategy
to
address
the
violence
that
we're
currently
experiencing.
One
of
those
strategies
is
some
emergency
meetings
that
we're
working
on
to
get
input
from
community,
particularly
those
who
are
doing
violence
prevention
work
on
the
ground,
because
we
believe
that
they
have
the
right
approach
and
the
voices
that
need
to
be
centered.
B
B
Lastly,
I'll
say
that
we
know
that
violence
like
other
pandemics
is,
is
a
contagious
situation
and
so
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
do
to
reduce
that
spread
and
work
with
our
partners
to
address
both
the
unrest
that
our
communities
are
feeling
the
violence
as
a
result.
So
I
will
close
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
time.
I'll
pass
it
off
to
the
next
speaker
who
I
believe
is
Luisa.
C
Hi,
my
name
is
Luisa.
Lu
is
a
last
name:
PE
SS,
a
b
ra
ND
AO,
and
I
am
the
manager
for
the
epidemiology,
research
and
evaluation
team
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis
Health
Department.
Just
to
give
you
a
quick
situational
update
on
covered
19,
as
of
today
in
Minneapolis,
has
four
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
five
cases
of
covered,
19,
of
which
hundreds
only
four
residents
have
died
related
to
covered
19
in
three
thousand.
Nine
hundred
and
sixty-seven
no
longer
need
to
be
in
isolation.
C
We
can
see
continue
to
see
its
reporting,
in
fact,
on
our
by
pop
communities,
in
the
trends
that
we
see
in
Minneapolis
mirror
those
seen
state
overall
for
in
terms
of
testing
in
the
state
testing
that
happened
in
four
community
sites
closed
yesterday
yesterday,
the
last
day
of
testing,
but
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
Health
Department,
is
working
with
our
community
partners
and
with
county
and
state
to
look
at
additional
opportunities
for
offering
free
testing
for
those
communities
that
needed
it
and
that's
all.
I
have
and
I
the
next
person.
D
Good
morning
my
name
is
omec
horrible,
its
viel
ma
and
Korbel
is
Kor.
B
is
in
Bobby
L
and
I
am
just
here
this
morning
to
give
you
the
kind
of
the
first
status
update
of
the
charge
of
discrimination
that
has
been
filed
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
against
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
as
a
standard
practice.
D
You
know
that
the
city
attorney
is
the
would
be
representing
the
city
in
a
matter
like
this,
and
the
city
attorney
Eric
Nielsen
is
here
this
morning
in
case
there
are
questions
of
questions
about
this
matter,
so
you
are
probably
all
aware
that
the
charge
of
discrimination
was
served
on
the
City
on
June,
2nd
and
that
effectively
started
a
human
rights
complaint
process.
Soon
after
that
charge
was
served,
the
Human
Rights
Commissioner
brought
a
petition
for
stipulated
injunctive
relief
to
the
district
court.
D
D
The
first
significant
date
with
regards
to
the
court
order
was
last
week
on
June
18th
and
there
were
certain
Minneapolis
Police
Department
policies
that
were
to
be
amended
and
submitted
to
the
assistant
attorney
general
and,
as
you
know,
it's
the
most
that
represents
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights.
Those
policies
pertain
to
Nick
restraints
and
chokeholds
the
duty
to
report
unauthorized
uses
of
force,
the
duty
to
intercept
crowd
control
during
protests
and
demonstration.
D
The
next
eight
is
July
third
and
that's
the
date
that
the
answer
to
the
actual
discrimination
charge
is
due
to
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
and,
as
I
said,
both
our
court
order
are
public
documents.
There
are
significant
dates
along
the
way
if
you
read
the
complaint
and
if
you
read
its
restraining
order
and
count,
you
should
be
pretty
being
able
to
do
a
pretty
good
job
of
ascertaining
when
those
different
things
are
due.
D
I
think
one
of
the
most
significant
things
that
the
Human
Rights
Department
has
passed,
the
city
for,
if
I
would
just
put
men
just
speculate,
is
on
July
30th.
The
city
attorney
shall
prepare
report
listing
the
state
laws
that
impede
public
transparency
of
police
data
and
are
prevent
the
mayor
and
the
team
of
police
are
impede.
Civilian
oversight
from
disciplining
and
terminating
police
officers
and
I
think
that
is
just
to
my
mind,
men
builder
Department
of
Human
Rights,
really
recognizing
that
reform
is
a
long,
deep
process
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
us
working
together.
D
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
Eric
Hansen,
it's
Eri,
K
Haan,
Sen
I'm,
the
city's
director
of
economic
policy
and
development
and
I'm
representing
the
Department
of
Community
Planning
and
economic
development.
I'm
gonna
keep
my
mask
on
because
I
have
a
allergy
induced
cough
and
so
I
think
it's
best
to
just
keep
it
on.
For
now,
I've
got
five
updates.
The
first
one
is
around
general
rebuilding
and
opening.
Last
week
we
reported
about
700
buildings
or
storefronts
impacted.
E
We
have
increased
that
to
1,000
storefronts
over
1,000
storefronts
of
the
140
structures
have
observable
levels
of
damage,
and
in
that
140
buildings
or
storefronts
53
buildings
were
destroyed.
31
builders,
Hemi,
your
damage,
56
buildings,
have
minor
damage
and
an
additional
885
buildings
have
been
affected
by
the
events.
After
the
killing
of
George
Floyd.
E
E
The
federal
cares
Act
allowed
for
a
$600
top
off
for
unemployment
benefits.
Those
benefits
will
expire
at
the
end
of
July,
impacting
those
on
unemployment
for
those
who
have
lost
employment
either
through
the
endemic
or
from
the
unrest
should
contact
the
state's
unemployment
insurance
system
and
the
best
way
to
contact
them
is
online
at
rui-zhi.
E
That's
you,
I,
like
unemployment
insurance
and
like
Minnesota,
Oh
RG,
calls
to
that
group
can
take
a
number
of
hours,
so
the
best
way
to
get
ahold
of
them
is
online.
The
city
is
in
the
process
of
two
disaster
declarations.
One
is
through
FEMA
on
behalf
of
the
city
in
the
county,
the
state
of
Minnesota
applied
for
disaster
declarations
for
the
federal
government
for
the
fires
caused
that
caused
damage
to
public
infrastructure.
E
The
state
in
this
disaster
declaration
will
seeing
federal
support
through
the
Small
Business
Administration,
and
we
need
businesses
help.
We
are
looking
for
in
order
for
us
to
meet
the
test.
The
declaration
and
we
need
businesses
to
report
sustained
building
damages
such
as
fire
damage
or
build
the
business
losses
or
other
damages
to
inventory
that
are
not
covered
by
insurance
or
not
fully
covered
by
insurance
or
forty
percent
of
uninsured
and
lost.
We
will
have
a
data
source
for
input
on
our
website
soon,
but
in
the
meantime,
please
call
the
small
business
team.
E
E
Finally,
I
want
to
encourage
businesses
in
Minneapolis
to
take
advantage
of
the
state
small
business
early
grant
program.
This
is
a
$10,000
grant
for
small
business,
who
have
been
impacted
by
kovat
19.
Its
designated
for
businesses
with
50
or
fewer
employees,
and
priority
will
be
giving
to
those
that
were
closed
by
executive
order
for
any
period
of
time.
E
The
state
has
set
up
minimum
pools
for
businesses
that
are
run
by
women
veterans,
people
of
color
businesses
with
six
or
fewer
employees,
and
for
those
that
are
in
indoor
retail
or
food
markets
with
an
ethnic
cultural
emphasis.
Those
patients
argue
between
those
at
the
application
period
is
between
June
23rd
and
5:00
p.m.
on
July
6.
If
you
need
more
information,
either
go
to
the
deed
website,
the
Department
of
Employment
and
economic
development,
or
call
our
small
business
team
at
six
one,
two,
six,
seven,
three:
two:
four:
nine
nine
and
I'm
available
to
answer
questions.
E
F
F
F
F
In
addition
to
accessibility
features,
the
launch
of
this
website
has
been
expedited
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
residents,
communities
and
local
businesses,
and
the
transition
will
happen
in
live
with
a
transition,
not
migration,
because
we
are
changing
our
philosophy
of
how
to
engage
with
our
residents
by
putting
them
front
and
center
and
the
philosophy
of
how
information
is
flatted
and
accessed
the
sir.
The
first
wave
will
include
our
homepage,
that
is
our
front
door
and
other
high
end
main
pages.
The
new
search
functionality,
report,
issues,
page
3-1-1,
help
page
and
other
feedback
mechanisms.
F
F
This
will
be
followed
by
additional
waves
of
content
transition
to
the
new
website
platform,
and
there
has
been
a
lot
of
engagement,
work
and
activities
put
through
that
is
reflected
through
this
work
and
work
until
you
push
it
forward
and
continue
our
engagement
with
the
public
throughout
the
life
of
the
project,
to
make
sure
that
it
continues
to
reflect
their
needs.
Thank
you.
B
Sure
so
our
Hospital
based
program
called
next
step,
is
our
two
trauma.
One
centers,
so
HCMC
and
North
Memorial
is
continuing
to
operate
and
we
have
been
able
to
add
some
staff
over
the
course
of
the
spring.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
There
were
tensions
as
a
result
of
CO
vid
and
having
staff
in
the
hospital.
But
we
anticipate-
and
we
know
this
week-
we
already
have
been
able
to
get
staff
back
into
the
hospitals
next
week,
a
more
robust
rate
we'll
be
able
to
have
folks
responding
to
bedsides
and
not
just
doing
follow-up.
B
So
we
feel,
like
that's
a
really
good
place
to
end
on
resource
because
of
the
number
and
volume
of
unfortunately
violent
incidents
that
we're
seeing
across
the
city.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
getting
appropriate
resources
post
a
very
traumatic
event
and
continue
well
beyond
when
they're
in
the
hospital.
B
So
we
do
have
reason
to
believe
that
some
of
this
violence
is
being
driven
by
groups.
We
don't
necessarily
ever
even
believe
that
anyone
who's
been
participating
in
the
service
provision
from
GBI,
although
of
course,
or
the
group
violence
intervention,
but
of
course,
we're
combing.
All
of
the
data
and
police
reports
to
ensure
that
we
could
do
the
appropriate
follow-up
and
work
with
parties
who
we
believe
are
vulnerable
to
becoming
the
next
shooter
or
the
next
victim
of
a
shooting.
Due
to
gang.
G
B
B
G
B
Naturally,
people
are
uncomfortable.
What
the
city
is
talking
to
me
is
a
very
innovative
process
and
any
time
change
is
proposed.
I
think
it's
uncomfortable
I
think
that
that
it's
thoughtful
that
both
the
mayor
and
the
council
are
developing
processes
that
take
time
to
look
at
what
a
new
vision
of
Public
Safety
might
look
like
and
where
policing
fits
into
that
new
envisioning.
B
So
people
with
group
dynamics,
in
particular
retaliatory
violence,
is
common,
so
I,
don't
think
that
we're
necessarily
looking
at
this
as
if
people
are
not
calling
the
police,
because
you
know
that's
a
reason
for
the
spike
in
violence,
I
think
retaliatory
violence.
We
know
that
her
people
hurt
people,
and
so
when
someone
has
been
impacted
and
hurt
by
violence
or
a
loved
one
of
theirs
has
been
hurt
by
violence.
B
B
So
our
intention
is
to
do
some
emergency
meetings
throughout
the
next
week
to
really
meet
with
folks
who
are
doing
violence.
Prevention
work
on
the
ground,
both
those
who
are
currently
in
partnership
with
the
city
as
well
as
people
who
we
maybe
haven't,
worked
with
us
closely,
because
we
do
believe
need
all
hands
on
deck
and
that
all
options
are
on
the
table
to
explore
what
we
can
do
in
partnership
with
community
to
address
the
current
violence.
E
So
the
question
was
around
damaged
buildings.
If
I
heard
it
correctly
and
they'd
break
down
between
city-owned
buildings
and
a
costs,
total
costs,
so
I
don't
have
the
breakdown
on
how
many
city
buildings
that
were
impacted
there
in
these
numbers,
but
we
can
get
that
broken
out
for
you.
We
have
some
infrastructure.
The
Director
of
Public
Works
last
week
talked
about
infrastructure
being
impacted
and
that's
part
of
the
FEMA
declaration
and
the
fires
that
were
impact
so
well.
We
will.
E
We
will
work
on
on
those
numbers
for
you
as
far
as
the
cost
you're
still
assessing
that
day,
most
the
damage
is
going
to
happen.
You
know,
through
insurance
companies
and
it'll,
take
some
time
to
figure
out
what
that
true
number
is.
Our
estimates
are,
you
know,
a
couple
hundred
million
dollars
and
that's
j/s
tomates
and
so
we'll
get
there
as
we
go.
E
Every
business
has
been
impacted
by
the
kovat
pandemic
and
those
losses
are
real
and
substantial
people's
communities
have
been
impacted
and
costs
of
livings
have
have
gone
up,
and
so
that
we're
categorizing
that
as
we
go,
but
those
we
won't
probably
not
have
the
true
sense
of
the
value.
But
it's
it's
it
double
or
pull
of
those
four,
it's
millions
of
dollars.
If
you
look
at
the
wealth,
that's
lost
in
community.
E
Understand
Weston:
it's
it's
what
we
heard
from
businesses
and
who's
staying
and
who's
going.
Essentially,
okay.
We,
we
were
very
fortunate
in
the
city
Minneapolis
to
have
network
of
community-based
organizations
that
have
really
strong
relationships
with
businesses
throughout
the
city.
We
continue
to
work
with
those
organizations.
We
are
hearing
a
lot
of
very
substantial
concerns
about
doing
business
in
the
city,
most
notably,
what
is
the
security
plan
for
the
city
and
how
are
they
going
to
be?
If,
if
people
do
tend
to
reopen,
how
do
they
maintain
safety?
E
The
city's
police
department
continues
to
operate
easily,
but
some
are
reluctant,
as
you
would
imagine,
to
call
9-1-1
and
we
are
encouraging
businesses.
They
want
security
to
go
with
licensed
security
companies
and
to
work
either
with
our
community-based
organizations
or
you
can
call
us
if
you
need
some
additional
assistance,
but
it's
not
not
rosy,
it
wasn't
rosy
with
the
pandemic,
and
this
is
just
exacerbated.
The
situation.
G
G
D
In
terms
of
the
detail
of
what's
being
amassed,
I
will
refer
that
over
to
the
city
attorney
from
civilian
oversight
perspective
which,
as
you
know,
is
a
division
inside
the
Civil
Rights
Department.
You
may
recall
back
in
2012,
we
went
to
the
legislature
to
ask
for
some
stronger,
a
stronger
state
statute
for
civilian
oversight
and
and
we
were
unsuccessful
there
and
and
as
a
matter
of
fact,
that
statute
was
actually
weakened.
In
that
session
we
were
asking
for,
for
some
subpoena
power.
