[23:33] ORGANIZATION. WWERE FOUNDED

[23:34] IN 1987 AT THE HEIGHT OF THE

[23:36] H.I.V.-AIDS CRISIS. A TIME WHEN

[23:40] OUR COMMUNITIES WERE QUITE

[23:42] LITERALLY DYING ALL AROUND US.

[23:44] WHEN GOVERNMENT LOOKED THE OTHER

[23:46] WAY, NOT JUST IGNORING OUR

[23:48] NEEDS, BUT ACTIVELY SAYING THAT

[23:49] THIS WAS A PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T

[23:50] NEED TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE IT WAS

[23:52] OURS.

[23:53] AND THE ONLY PEOPLE WE COULD

[23:55] LOOK TO WERE OURSELVES.

[23:56] WE DIDN'T HAVE ELECTED LEADERS

[23:59] THESE PUBLIC OFFICES. WE

[24:02] DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME KIND OF

[24:03] ADCACY VOICES AT THE TABLES

[24:05] SITTING THERE TODAY, BUT WE

[24:06] BUILT FROM A PLACE OF BELIEF.

[24:09] KNOWING OUR COMMUNITIES HAD

[24:12] POWER.

[24:14] STANDING TOGETHER COULD MOVE

[24:16] MOUNTAINS.

[24:17] KNOWING THAT WE COULD GET

[24:34] THE NAMES WE DON'T KNOW, WE

[24:36] DON'T TALK ABOUT, ARE MEMBERS OF

[24:39] THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

[24:41] PEOPLE SITTING IN DETENTION

[24:43] CENTERS RIGHT NOW WHO ARE

[24:44] WONDERING WHAT THEIR FUTURE

[24:45] LOOKS LIKE, WHO CALL THIS CITY

[24:47] HOME.

[24:53] CONNECTION AND POWER OF

[24:55] COMMUNITY EXTENDS BEYOND JUST

[24:57] US.

[25:19] COMMUNITIES THAT WE CAN BELIEVE

[25:22] FOR US AND THAT SUPPORT US AS

[25:25] FULL PEOPLE.

[25:29] AS AN LGBTQ PERSON IS A POSITION

[25:32] OF REAL JOY AND REAL POWER.

[1:05:08] PALMISANO.

[1:05:08] >> MR. PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE

[1:05:09] » MR. PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE

[1:05:09] TO JUST ADDRESS WALK-ON ITEMS AT

[1:05:11] FULL COUNCIL IN GENERAL.

[1:05:15] WHILE ALL FIVE OF THESE ITEMS

[1:05:17] THAT I DIDN'T SEE UNTIL 6:00

[1:05:20] P.M. LAST NIGHT HAVE MERIT, ONLY

[1:05:22] ONE OF THEM, THE SAFER GRANT, I

[1:05:24] SEE IS TRULY TIME SENSIVE.

[1:05:27] THERE IS NO REASON THE OTHERS

[1:05:28] COULDN'T WAIT AND BE PUT THROUGH

[1:05:30] A NORMAL COMMITTEE PROCESS.

[1:05:32] AT OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING

[1:05:34] SESSIONS, WE AGREED TO NMS AND

[1:05:36] PRACTICES THAT ALLOW US TO

[1:05:38] FOLLOW KNOWN AND PREDICTABLE

[1:05:40] PROCESSES.

[1:05:40] AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH

[1:05:41] MEETING, WE TALK ABOUT ENABLING

[1:05:43] PUBLIC PARTIPATION BETTER.

[1:05:45] I'M NOT HERE TO HOLD ON THESE

[1:05:48] ITEMS UP, AND I WILL CERTAINLY

[1:05:49] AGREE TO ADD THEM TO THE AGENDA

[1:05:51] HERE TODAY, BUT I THINK WE NEED

[1:05:53] TO START THE CONVERSATION ABOUT

[1:05:56] HOW WE CODIFY OUR STRATEGIC

[1:05:59] CONDUCT AGREEMENTS.

[1:06:00] I WILL REMIND MY COLLEAGUES THAT

[1:06:02] IN CALIFORNIA THERE'S AN OPEN

[1:06:04] MEETING LAW CALLED THE BROWN A

[1:06:05] THAT REQUIRES AGENDAS OF PUBLIC

[1:06:08] BODIES LIKE OURS TO BE PUBLISHED

[1:06:10] 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

[1:06:12] AND ABSENT AN EMERGENCY, THERE

[1:06:14] ARE NO ADDITIONAL ITEMS ALLOWED.

[1:06:19] NOW, I DON'T THINK THAT'S

[1:06:22] NECESSARY, BUT IN THE PAST,

[1:06:23] FORMER COUNCIL PRESIDENTS MADE

[1:06:25] IT CLEAR WHAT CRITICAL MEANS AND

[1:06:26] WHAT A WALK-ON AT FULL CITY

[1:06:29] COUNCIL MEANS.

[1:06:29] THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN LEVEL OF

[1:06:31] RISK IF WE DON'T WALK SOMETHING

[1:06:32] ON AND GET THAT BUSINESS

[1:06:34] FINALIZED.

[1:06:36] I THINK WE SHOULD WORK ON

[1:06:37] SOMETHING THAT SUITS US HERE IN

[1:06:39] 26.

[1:06:39] THIS LEVEL OF WALK-ON ITEMS MEAN

[1:06:43] THAT STANDARDS AND DEADLINES

[1:06:46] AND, FRANKLY, COMMITTEE MEETINGS

[1:06:47] ARE SIMPLY OPTIONAL.

[1:06:49] IT MEANS THE PUBLIC CAN'T RELY

[1:06:51] ON PUBLICLY POSTED AGENDAS.

[1:06:53] PRESIDENT PAYNE, I WOULD LIKE TO

[1:06:54] WORK WITH YOU ON THIS IN THE

[1:06:58] FUTURE.

[1:06:58] >> HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON

[1:07:00] » HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON

[1:07:00] THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ.

[1:07:01] >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT

[1:07:02] » THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT

[1:07:02] PAYNE.I WOULD LIKE TO ADD

[1:07:03] CONTEXT TO WHAT THE ITEMS ARE SO

[1:07:05] THE PUBLIC KNOWS. THE TRUMP

[1:07:08] ADMINISTRATION AND THE HOUSE

[1:07:10] REPUBLICANS AND SENATE MAJORITY

[1:07:11] LED BY REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS

[1:07:12] JUST PASSED A NEARLY $70 BILLION

[1:07:16] FUNDING BILL FOR I.C.E. AND

[1:07:20] BORDER PATROL.

[1:07:21] THAT WAS JUST FINALIZED A COUPLE

[1:07:22] DAYS AGO.

[1:07:23] AND ONE OF THE RESOLUTIONS I AM

[1:07:26] SAYING THIS BODY KUZ NOT SUPPORT

[1:07:28] THAT ACTION. I DON'T WANT TO

[1:07:29] WAIT FOR THIS WEEK FOR THIS BODY

[1:07:31] TO SAY COLLECTIVELY UNITED THAT

[1:07:33] WE OPPOSE I.C.E. AND THIS

[1:07:37] FUNDING, SO THAT IS CONTEXT FOR

[1:07:38] ONE OF THEM. THE OTHER ONE, WE

[1:07:40] HEARD MANY NEIGHBORS TESTIFY

[1:07:41] WHEN IT CAME TO THE ASSESSMENTS

[1:07:43] FOR GEORGE FLO SQUARE AND THE

[1:07:44] PROJECT.

[1:07:44] THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE THAT

[1:07:45] I'M BRINGING FORWARD AS A

[1:07:47] WALK-ON IS ASKING FOR AN UPDATE

[1:07:48] ON THE PLAN FOR THE 38th STREET

[1:07:50] THRIVE PLAN.

[1:07:51] AND AN UPDATE ON THE BUDGET

[1:07:52] AMED

[1:07:54] ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY AND A CITY

[1:07:55] COUNCIL IN DECEMBER.

[1:07:56] SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE RESPONSIVE

[1:07:58] TO THE CONCERNS THAT COMMUNITY

[1:07:59] MEMBERS ARE ADVOCATING FOR,

[1:08:01] WHICH IS WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR 38

[1:08:03] STREET THRIVE? WHAT ARE WE

[1:08:03] DOING WITH THE FUNDING WE

[1:08:05] ALLOCATED IN DECEMBER? AND THE

[1:08:06] LAST WALK-ON IS A WALK-ON FOR

[1:08:08] THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT REACHED

[1:08:09] OUTO MY OFFICE.

[1:08:10] AND IF I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE

[1:08:11] TO ALERT THEM THAT IF THIS

[1:08:13] WASN'T PASSED TODAY, IT LIKELY

[1:08:14] WOULD MEAN THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE

[1:08:16] TO APPLY TO A GRANT APPLICATION,

[1:08:18] SO THAT IS VERY MUCH IMPORTANT.

[1:08:19] I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR

[1:08:21] PROTOCOL AND RULES AND STUF

[1:08:22] BUT I THINK CONTEXT MATTERS.

[1:08:23] AND IN THIS CONTEXT, I.C.E.

[1:08:27] LITERALLY IS GETTING A $70

[1:08:29] BILLION CHECK FOR OUR -- FROM

[1:08:32] OUR COUNTRY TO IMPACT OUR

[1:08:34] UNDOCUMENT NEIGHBORS.

[1:08:35] COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAME HERE AND

[1:08:37] TOLD US, WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT

[1:08:38] THE 38th STREET THRIVE PLAN? WE

[1:08:40] HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

[1:08:42] I'M ASKING FOR A PLANND

[1:08:43] UPDATE.

[1:08:44] AND THE STAFF FROM THE FIRE

[1:08:45] DEPARTMENT IS ASKING THEM TO

[1:08:46] APPLY FOR THE GRANT APPLICION.

[1:08:47] SO I WANT TO GIVE CONTEXT OF

[1:08:49] WHAT THE ITEMS ARE, AND I AM NOT

[1:08:50] THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS TODAY.

[1:08:52] THERE ARE MANY OTHERS.

[1:08:53] >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY.

[1:08:54] » COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY.

[1:08:54] >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.

[1:08:55] » THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.

[1:08:55] I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THE

[1:08:57] PROCEDURAL ANGLE AND ALSO

[1:08:59] HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WE'RE

[1:09:03] MAKING -- A PROBLEM OUT OF

[1:09:05] NOTHING ACTUALLY IN THIS CASE.

[1:09:09] WALK-ON'S IS ALLOWABLE IN OUR

[1:09:11] LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

[1:09:12] I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'SEEN

[1:09:14] STATED THAT IT'S NOT.

[1:09:15] IT IS, OF COURSE, PREFERRED THAT

[1:09:17] WEOVE WORK THROUGH OUR

[1:09:19] RESPECTIVE COMMITTEES, BUT WHAT

[1:09:20] I WILL NAME AND MAYBE THIS IS A

[1:09:23] MOMENT OF REFLECTION FOR THOSE

[1:09:24] WHO DON'T RELATE TO THE

[1:09:25] COMMITTEES AS MH OR PUSH WORK

[1:09:27] THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE

[1:09:28] COMMITTEES AS MUCH, BUT I WILL

[1:09:30] NAME EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:09:33] WHO ARE BRINGING WALK ON'S HAVE

[1:09:34] MOVED SUBSTANTIAL WORK THROUGH

[1:09:36] COMMITTEES THAT WE ARE TAKING UP

[1:09:38] TODAY AND ARE CONTINUOUSLY

[1:09:40] PRODUCING POLICIES, BUDGET

[1:09:43] APPROPRIATIONS, ALL IN RESPONSE

[1:09:44] TO THE URGENT NEEDS OF THEIR

[1:09:46] RESPECTIVE CSTITUENTS AND THAT

[1:09:48] INCLUDES MYSELF. I AM PROUD OF

[1:09:50] THE FACT THAT WE HAVE COUNCIL

[1:09:52] MEMBERS WHO CAN DO BOTH-AND.

[1:09:54] THEY CAN MOVE WORK AND MOVE

[1:09:55] PRESTATIONS AND CREATE SPACES

[1:09:57] FOR COMMUNITY WITHIN THEIR

[1:09:58] RESPECTIVE COMMITTEES.

[1:09:59] AND ALSO SAY, HEY, WE'RE HEARING

[1:10:01] THINGS IN BETWEEN THAT, LET'S

[1:10:02] BRING THAT TO THE FOREFRONT OF

[1:10:03] THE FULL COUNCIL A HAVE THAT

[1:10:05] BE PART OF OUR AGENDA.

[1:10:07] ALSO PROCEDURALLY, EVERY SINGLE

[1:10:09] COUNCIL MEMBER IN ORDER FOR US

[1:10:09] TO DO A WALK-ON HAS TO WORK WITH

[1:10:11] THE CITY ATTORNEY, THE CITY

[1:10:13] CLERK, SO IT IS VERIFIED.

[1:10:15] IT WILL BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA

[1:10:16] AFTERWARDS, SO AGAIN, I THINK

[1:10:18] THIS IS ONE WHERE WE'RE CREATING

[1:10:20] ISSUES OUT OF NOTHING.

[1:10:23] AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO

[1:10:25] OUR COLLEAGUES WHO CONSTANTLY DO

[1:10:26] HOLD A HIGH STANDARD OF BEING

[1:10:28] SOME OF THE MOST PRODUCTIVE

[1:10:29] COUNCIL MEERS ON THIS BODY,

[1:10:31] AND THAT IS WHY YOU SEE WALK

[1:10:33] ON'S AND WHY YOU SEE ROBUST

[1:10:35] COMMITTEE AGENDAS FILLED WITH

[1:10:39] LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES, BUDGET

[1:10:40] APPROPRIATIONS, AND THOSE ARE

[1:12:49] RESEARCH AND OVERSIGHT DIVISIO

[1:12:51] OF THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT TO

[1:12:54] RESEAR A POTENTIAL CONTAMINATE

[1:13:03] ACCEPTANCE FROM STRIVE TOGETHER

[1:13:05] TO ATTEND THE STRIVE TOGETHER

[1:13:06] 2026 POLICY SUMMIT AND CITY

[1:13:25] I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT

[1:13:27] SOMETHING ABOUT THE GIFT

[1:13:28] ACCEPTANCE THAT I THINK IS A

[1:13:29] GOOD PRACTICE AS WE'RE TRYING TO

[1:13:33] STAY WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF

[1:13:36] OUR FINANCIAL POLICY ABOUT GIFT

[1:13:38] ACCEPTANCES COMING AHEAD.

[1:13:41] I WAS ABLE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS

[1:13:44] WITH STAFF ABOUT THE TRAVEL FOR

[1:13:46] DIRECTOR TOPINKA, AND WE WERE

[1:13:48] ABLE TO MOVE INTO A COMMITTEE,

[1:13:51] DATE OF THE TRAVEL, SO WE COULD

[1:13:53] AT LEAST HAVE A FORM OF CONSENT

[1:13:54] FROM TS BODY AHEAD OF TRAVEL.

[1:13:56] AND I THINK THAT WAS A WAY FOR

[1:13:59] US TODDRESS SOMETHING VERY

[1:14:02] NIMBLY AND JUST TAKE

[1:14:03] PORTUNITIES IN COMMITTEE.

[1:14:05] AND I THINK -- I THINK THAT

[1:14:06] SHOULD BE RARE, BUT IT IS A WAY

[1:14:09] FOR US TO FURTHER WORK TOGETHER

[1:14:11] ON ADDRESSING GIFT ACCEPTANCES,

[1:14:14] ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE COMING

[1:14:15] CLOSEO DEADLINE.

[1:14:17] THERE IS PLENTY COMMITTEE

[1:14:20] OPPORTUNITIES AND I THINK THAT'S

[1:14:22] SOMETHING AS LEADERSHIP YOU

[1:14:24] SHOULDLSO CONSIDER IN TERMS OF

[1:14:26] MAKI SURE WE FEEL ORGANIZED

[1:14:27] ABOUT THAT MOVING FORWARD. SO

[1:14:28] JU WANTED TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE

[1:14:30] FOR THAT SINCE WE HAVE BEEN

[1:14:32] TALKING ABOUT GIFT ACCEPTANCE

[1:14:33] AND FINANCIAL POLICY THE LAST

[1:20:41] THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN SO

[1:20:43] EXTREMELY PAINFUL FOR EVERYE

[1:20:44] INVOLVED. THERE WAS LITTLE TO

[1:20:46] NO TRANSPARENCY ON MAJOR

[1:20:48] DECISIONS AND STEPS, COMMUNITY

[1:20:50] INPUT IS TOUTED ANDDERIDED,

[1:20:54] POSITIONS ARE FOUGHT IN THE

[1:20:54] MEDIA AND OVERFLOWING IN

[1:20:56] COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

[1:20:57] THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS STARTED

[1:20:58] ALL OF THIS WITH THE MURDER OF

[1:21:01] GEORGE FLOYD AND THEN WAS TASKED

[1:21:02] WITH FACILITATINGHE PROCESS OF

[1:21:04] RE-IMAGINING, REBUILDING AND

[1:21:06] TRYING TO HEAL THE COMMUNITY.

[1:21:08] THAT RECIPE FOR DISASTER HAS

[1:21:10] YIELDED SO MUCH ONGOING PAIN,

[1:21:13] DELAY, AND TRUST BREAKDOWN.

[1:21:15] COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ELECTED

[1:21:17] OFFICIALS, GEORGE FLOYD'S

[1:21:18] FALY, AND MOVEMENTS HAVE BEEN

[1:21:19] PITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER AND

[1:21:21] BETWEEN EACH OTHER.

[1:21:22] THIS VOTE TO DENY THE

[1:21:24] RECOMMENDATION IS PAINFUL AS

[1:21:24] WELL.

[1:21:26] BUT IT IS ALSO THE RIGHT THING

[1:21:26] TO DO.

[1:21:28] THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PLAN OR

[1:21:29] TIMELINE FOR THE PEOPLE'S WAY.

[1:21:32] COMMUNITY INPUT WASCLEAR. THIS

[1:21:33] WAS NOT THE PATH FORWARD. AND

[1:21:35] IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE TIME

[1:21:36] TO GET COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, WE

[1:21:38] SHOULD FOLLOW IT JUST LIKE WE

[1:21:40] DID WITH THE STREET

[1:21:40] RECONSTRUCTION.

[1:21:42] NOT INCLUDING GEORGE FLOYD'S

[1:21:44] FAMILY I NOT THE RIGHT PATH.

[1:21:47] C.M. CHAVEZ, COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:21:48] CHAVEZ AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO

[1:21:50] THE MAYOR TO SIT DOWN AND TALK

[1:21:52] ABOUT A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD ON

[1:21:54] THIS ON THE SAME PAGE. OUNCIL

[1:21:57] MEMBERS HAVE REACHED OUT AND

[1:21:59] THE IMPASSE IN HELPING OUR

[1:22:01] COMMUNITY MOVE TOGETHER. THANK

[1:22:02] YOU.

[1:22:04] SO I'M ASKING MY COLLEAGUES TO

[1:22:06] VOTE YES TO DENY THIS

[1:22:07] RECOMMENDATION. AND THEN I'M

[1:22:09] ASKING FOR FOLKS IN CITY HALL

[1:22:10] AND THE COMMUNITY TO PUT OUR

[1:22:13] BATTLES AN I SIDE AND WORK

[1:22:15] TOGETHER AND NOT AGAINST EACH

[1:22:18] PEOPLE'S WAY AND THE 38th E, THE

[1:22:19] CORROR ARE CRUCIAL TO OUR

[1:22:21] CITY'S STORY AND OUR FUTURE. WE

[1:22:23] CAN FIGURE THIS OUT TOGETHER.

[1:22:26] COUNCIL MEMBERS, COMMUNITY

[1:22:26] MEMBERS, GEORGE FLOYD'S FAMILY

[1:22:28] AND PARTNERS.

[1:22:39] OSMAN. COLLEAGUES, I WANT TO

[1:22:40] BEGIN BY REMINDING US THAT

[1:22:42] GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE IS A SACRED

[1:22:45] SPACE, AND THAT THE COMMUNITY

[1:22:46] BUILT THE PEOPLE'S WAY THROUGH

[1:22:47] YEARS OF GRIEF, ORGANING AND

[1:22:48] HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. THE

[1:22:52] PROCESS INTO THE SELECTION OF

[1:22:53] DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS MUST BE

[1:22:55] TRANSPARENT AND IT NEEDS TO HAVE

[1:22:56] COUNITY BUY-IN ORDER TO BE

[1:22:59] SUCCESSFUL.

[1:23:00] OUR COMMUNITY WAS

[1:23:02] PROMISED THAT THE SELECTION OF

[1:23:03] THE DEVELOPER WOULD BE MADE IN

[1:23:04] MAY 2025 FORHE PEOPLE'S WAY AT

[1:23:06] GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE.

[1:23:08] UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE HEARD

[1:23:09] MANY FRUSTRATIONS FM COMMUNITY

[1:23:11] MEMBERS ACROSS DIFFERENT BELIEFS

[1:23:12] HERE THAT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN,

[1:23:14] AND THATT IS FRUSTRATING.

[1:23:16] MUCH OF THE FEEDBACK THAT MY

[1:23:18] OFFICE HAS RECEIVED SINCE A

[1:23:21] DECISION WAS MADE HAS BEEN

[1:23:22] FRUSTRATION AND DISTRUST IN THE

[1:23:23] PROCESS.

[1:23:24] AND IN APRIL 2025 THE CITY OF

[1:23:26] M

[1:23:27] THE RESULTS OF A CITY

[1:23:29] COMMISSIONED SURVEY TO

[1:23:30] UNDERSTAND STAKEHOLDER OPINIONS

[1:23:32] ON THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE

[1:23:33] PEOPLE'S WAY. THE SURVEY

[1:23:34] RESULTS SHOWED US THAT THE PATH

[1:23:38] BEING USHERED TODAY A THIS

[1:23:38] VOTE TODAY IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT

[1:23:40] WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND IT ALSO

[1:23:43] YEAR LATER. NTED TO US UNTIL A

[1:23:44] THAT BEING SAID, I THINK IT IS

[1:23:46] IMPORTANT THAT WE FIGURE THIS

[1:23:49] OUT. COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON

[1:23:50] AND RI URGING OUR CLEAGUES TO

[1:23:52] DENY THIS PROPOSAL, BUT ARE

[1:23:54] BEING CLEAR WE WANT TO FIGURE

[1:23:55] THIS OUT SOONER RATHER THAN

[1:23:58] LATER. WE REACHED OUT TO MAYOR

[1:24:00] FREY THIS WEEK, ASKED FOR A

[1:24:02] MEETING, AND WE ALL AGREED TO

[1:24:03] DISCUSS THE NEXT STEP

[1:24:05] MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN DO THIS

[1:24:07] UNITED TOGETHER AS WE FIGURE

[1:24:08] THAT OUT. SO WE HOPE THAT YOU

[1:24:10] ALL WOULD JOIN US HERE IN WARD

[1:24:12] EIGHT AND WARD NINE VOTING TS

[1:24:13] DOWN.

[1:24:14] AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN US TRYING

[1:24:19] » A RIGHT. NEXT I'LL

[1:24:19] RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:24:21] WONSLEY.

[1:24:21] >> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT

[1:24:22] » THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT

[1:24:23] OSMAN. SO WHEN THE CITY

[1:24:24] PURCHASED THE SITE, IT MADE A

[1:24:26] PUBLIC COMMI TONIGHT THE

[1:24:27] COMMUNITY THAT THEY WOULD

[1:24:30] PARTICIPATE IN REPAIRTIVE

[1:24:33] JUSTICE AND HONOR THIS SITE TO

[1:24:34] BE TRANSFORMED INTOOTH A

[1:24:36] PERMANENT MEMORIAL AND A HUB FOR

[1:24:38] RACIAL HEALING.

[1:24:39] AN THAT WAS A PROMISE THAT THE

[1:24:41] CITY MADE THAT IF THE COMMUNITY

[1:24:44] ENGAGED WITH THE CITY IN A

[1:24:46] GENUINE WAY T CITY WOULD NOT

[1:24:48] JUST LISTEN BUT TAKE THE LEAD OF

[1:24:49] THE COMMUNITY.

[1:24:50] YET THE CITY ABSOLUTELY FUMBLED

[1:24:52] THIS PROCESS FROM START TO

[1:24:54] FINISH.

[1:24:55] AND I HAVE SPENT MY ENTIRE TIME

[1:24:57] ON CITY COUNCIL DOING THOROUGH

[1:24:59] OVERSIGHT OVER THE FREY

[1:25:00] ADMINISTRATION'S OCUREMENT

[1:25:01] PROCESSES, BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN

[1:25:03] A CONTRACT MISHANDLE IN THE

[1:25:05] UNIQUE WAY THAT THIS ONE WAS.

[1:25:08] THE PROCESS HAS AS A RESU OF

[1:25:10] THIS MISHANDLING, HAS BEEN

[1:25:13] DISCREDITE AND THERE IS NO

[1:25:16] JUSTIFIABLE REASONS TO EXPLAIN

[1:25:17] THE MANY DISCREPANES THAT HAVE

[1:25:20] TAKEN PLACE.

[1:25:21] THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE

[1:25:23] PEOPLE'S WAY AS COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:25:24] CHAVEZ NOTED WAS ACTUALLY

[1:25:25] SUPPOSED TO WRAP UP AND BE

[1:25:27] COMPLETED LAST MAY, BUT THE FREY

[1:25:29] ADMINISTRATION WENT GST AND

[1:25:30] THERE WAS NO DECISION MADE.

[1:25:32] AND THIS PROMPTED AN OUTPOURING

[1:25:34] OF OUTREA FROM COMMUNITY

[1:25:36] MEMBERS, COUNCIL MEMBERS, ABOUT

[1:25:37] WHY THE CITY HAD DELAYED

[1:25:39] ANNOUNCING A DEVELOPER, AND THAT

[1:25:40] THEY ALSO HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A

[1:25:42] THING HAPPEN WITH OTHER

[1:25:44] CONTRACTS.

[1:25:45] AND THE FREY ADMINISTRATION

[1:25:46] DIDN'T PROVIDE REASONING TO

[1:25:48] COUNCIL MEMBERS, SO WE HAD NO

[1:25:49] ANSWERS TO GIVE TO COMMUNITY.

[1:25:50] THERE WAS A CLEAT SHUTDOWN OF

[1:25:54] SHUTDOWN OF INFORMATION TO THE E

[1:25:55] COUNCIL, MMUNITY, AND

[1:25:56] APPLICANT WHO IS SPENT TIME AND

[1:25:58] THEIR RESOCES ACTUALLY

[1:25:59] ENGAGING IN WHAWAS SUPPOSED TO

[1:26:00] BE A VERY AUTHENTIC AND SERIOUS

[1:26:03] PROCESS ABOUT HOW WE TRANSFORM

[1:26:05] THE PEOPLE'S WAY INTO A RACIAL

[1:26:07] HEALING HUB.

[1:26:10] AND I'M ALSO -- I WILL NOTE, I

[1:26:12] AMUNARE OF ANY OTHER CITY

[1:26:15] R.F.P. HAVING A ONE-YEAR DELAY

[1:26:18] OFNNOUNCING A SELECTION AS WE

[1:26:19] SAW BE PLAYED OUT I THIS CASE.

[1:26:21] NOW DESPITE THE PROMISES FOR

[1:26:22] THIS TO BE RESTORATIVE AND

[1:26:24] REPAIRTIVE PROCESS, WE ARE NOW

[1:26:26] IN A SITUATION WHERE THE

[1:26:27] ADMINISTRATION DECIDED TO IGNORE

[1:26:28] THE COMMUNITY.

[1:26:29] AND COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE BEING

[1:26:30] ASKED IF THIS ELECTION WAS DUE

[1:26:34] THERE IS NO OTHER PLAUSIBLE SE

[1:26:36] REASON FOR WHY THIS --

[1:26:37] >> PLEASE DON'T ASCRIBEMOTIVE.

[1:26:39] » PLEASE DON'T ASCRIBEMOTIVE.

[1:26:39] >> AND THE CITY STAFF HAS

[1:26:42] » AND THE CITY STAFF HAS

[1:26:42] PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED THEY DON'T

[1:26:44] BELIEVER THE PLAN BROUGHT

[1:26:45] FORWARD BY THE CHOSEN VENDOR,

[1:26:47] AGAPE, THAT THEIR DEVELOPMENT

[1:26:48] PLAN IS FEASIBLE. THE COMMUNITY

[1:26:49] SURVEY ALSO CONVEYED A REFERENCE

[1:26:52] FOR ANOTHER DEVELOPER AND WITH

[1:26:54] ALL THESE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, MAYBE

[1:26:58] BEYOND HOW THIS RECOMMENDATION

[1:26:59] GOT BEFORE US TODAY. I WANT TO

[1:27:01] RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS

[1:27:02] SIGNIFICANT HARM DONE BY THE

[1:27:04] ADMINIRATION IN THESE ACTIONS

[1:27:06] BECAUSE IT FOSTERS FURTHER LACK

[1:27:09] OF CREDIBILITY AND TRUST BETWEEN

[1:27:11] THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY.

[1:27:13] AND THIS IS ALSO WHY I DID NOT

[1:27:17] WONT TO SEE THE CITY BE THE

[1:27:19] FINAL DECION MAKER IN THIS

[1:27:20] SELECTION BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE

[1:27:22] A GOOD TRACK RECORD OF

[1:27:23] DELIVERING ON PROMISES TO

[1:27:24] COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHEN IT COMES

[1:27:25] TO THE HANDLING OF SITE

[1:27:28] SELECTIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN

[1:27:31] THERE'S -- ISSUES AROUND RACIAL

[1:27:33] HARM AT HAND.

[1:27:36] AND THE PROPOSAL BEFORE US TODAY

[1:27:39] ESSENTIALLY -- IT'S REFLECTIVE

[1:27:41] OF THOSE BROADER PROBLEMS WITHIN

[1:27:44] THE CITY.

[1:27:45] AND THE PPOSAL IN ITSELF ALSO

[1:27:49] HAS BEEN FOUND TO NOT BE BOTH

[1:27:51] FISCALLY AND LEGALLY VIABL IN

[1:27:53] ADDITION TO NOT BEING IN

[1:27:54] ALIGNMENT WITH THECOMMUNITY'S

[1:27:58] THIS SITE. E CITY'S VISION FOR

[1:27:58] I WANT TO NAME THAT I'VE BROUGHT

[1:28:02] MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE MANY

[1:28:05] INADEQUACIES THAT WE HAVE SEEN

[1:28:06] PLAYED OUT IN THE PROCUREMENT

[1:28:08] PI

[1:28:11] AUDITOR. I LOOK FORWARD TOED A

[1:28:13] VANCING NEXT STEPS -- TO

[1:28:15] ADVANCING NEXT STEPS BECAUSE

[1:28:16] THEY SHOULD NOTAPPEN AGAIN AND

[1:28:17] THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN

[1:28:18] THE FIRST PLACE. IN THE

[1:28:21] MEANTIME, COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE

[1:28:23] ALREADY SUGGESTED PATHWAYS

[1:28:24] FORWARD. I KNOW I AM COMMITTED

[1:28:26] TO WORKING WITH MY COLLEAGUES TO

[1:28:27] DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO

[1:28:28] HONOR THE COMMITMENTS THAT HAVE

[1:28:32] SQUARE HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED, I DO

[1:28:35] HOPE THE FREY ADMINISTRATION

[1:28:36] TAKES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO

[1:28:38] STEN AND PROPOSE ACTIONS THAT

[1:28:39] DO REFLECT WHAT RESIDENTS HAVE

[1:28:41] BEEN DEMANDING A ORGANIZING

[1:28:43] AND HAS ACTUALLY WORK

[1:28:45] COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE CITY TO

[1:28:46] ACCOMPLISH FOR YEARS. THAT'S

[1:28:49] IT.

[1:28:50] >> COUNCIL MEMBER TAW.

[1:28:51] » COUNCIL MEMBER TAW.

[1:28:51] >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.

[1:28:54] » THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.

[1:28:54] YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER REALLY SAID

[1:28:56] MUCH ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AT

[1:28:58] GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE BECAUSE IT'S

[1:29:00] NOT MY WARD, AND I REALLY DO

[1:29:03] RESPECT THAT THE LEADERS WHO

[1:29:04] WERE ELECTED TO SERVE THAT AREA

[1:29:06] HAVE BEEN VOCAL, HAVE BEEN --

[1:29:10] YOU KNOW, ENGAGING US, AND THANK

[1:29:12] YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ AND

[1:29:15] STEVENSON FOR THIS LAST WEEK.

[1:29:16] JUST HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH

[1:29:18] ME ABOUT THE FUTURE OF GEORGE

[1:29:20] OYD SQUARE, AND HOW YOU WANT

[1:29:22] TO WORK COLLECTIVELY TO DO

[1:29:24] SOMETHIN

[1:29:25] I WILL SAY THAT'M VERY

[1:29:27] DISAPPOINTED IN WHERE WE ARE

[1:29:29] TODAY O THI PARTICULAR

[1:29:30] BUILDING.

[1:29:33] I HAVE REALLY HOPED THAT AS A

[1:29:35] CITY, AS AN AREA, I GO TO GEORGE

[1:29:38] FLOYD SQUARE AND IT IS A PLACE

[1:29:39] OF ACCEPTANCE. IT'S A PLACE OF

[1:29:41] LOVE. IT'S A PLACE OF UNITY.

[1:29:42] AND I WAS REALLY HOPING THAT

[1:29:45] THIS PROJECT WOULD HAVE

[1:29:47] REFLECTED THAT. LO, UNITY,

[1:29:49] AND ACCEPTANCE. AND THERE ARE

[1:29:50] GROUPS THAT HAVE DONE PHENOMENAL

[1:29:53] WORK IN THAT AREA FOR SIX YEARS

[1:29:57] TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU WALK

[1:29:59] THERE, THAT'S WHAT Y FEEL.

[1:30:00] THAT'S WHA YOU SEE. AND I

[1:30:02] THOUGHT THIS PROJECT COULD BE

[1:30:03] THAT.

[1:30:03] I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AN

[1:30:05] AMAZING THING FOR US TO COME

[1:30:07] GETHER ON NOT ONLY AS A CITY,

[1:30:10] BUT THE WOMEN, THE PEOPLE WHO

[1:30:11] WERE THERE PROTECTING AND

[1:30:15] PRESERVING THE LEGACY OF THE

[1:30:17] VIOLENCE THAT'S HAPPENED THERE.

[1:30:19] AND THEIMPACT.

[1:30:21] AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT

[1:30:25] AGAPE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY

[1:30:26] ARE ONE OF MANY WHO COULD DO

[1:30:28] THERE ARE SO MANY BRILLIANT

[1:30:31] FOS OVER THERE WHO ARE

[1:30:34] HURTING, WHO HAVE A VISION, AND

[1:30:35] I JUST THINK SOMETIMES WHEN

[1:30:38] WE'RE GRIEVING AND WHEN THINGS

[1:30:41] ARE ALYS HEIGHTENED IN THE

[1:30:42] CITY PLAYS A ROLE IN THAT.

[1:30:44] THIS STUFF NEVER COMES OUT,

[1:30:46] LIKE, IN UNITY. WE HAVEN'T DONE

[1:30:48] YOU ALL RIGHT. AND MOST OF YOU

[1:30:50] ARE HEREODAY BECAUSE YOU'RE

[1:30:51] STRESSED ABOUT ANASSESSMENT.

[1:30:52] AND THAT'S NOT OKAY. THERE'S SO

[1:30:56] MANY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN

[1:30:57] PROLONGED AND POLITICIZED, AND

[1:30:59] THIS IS THE ONE THING WE CAN'T

[1:31:00] LET THAT HAPPEN AS A COMMUNITY.

[1:31:05] LOST HIS LIFE. IF YOU EVER TALK

[1:31:06] TO ME, YOU ASK ANYONE, I'VE

[1:31:11] ALWAYSSAID, THINK THAT THIS

[1:31:13] SPACE SHOULD BE THE DONIELA

[1:31:16] FRAZIER YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER

[1:31:17] WITH A COMMUNITY GARDEN ON THE

[1:31:19] ROOFTOP TO TEACH KS HOW TO

[1:31:21] GARDEN. AS A GARDENER, I WOULD

[1:31:22] LOVE TO SHOW KIDS HOW TO GROW

[1:31:25] DAHLIAS OR SOME OFY FAVORITE

[1:31:27] FLOWER. WE NEED A COMMUNITY

[1:31:29] ROOM THERE. PARAGRAPH I HAVE A

[1:31:30] VISION, BUT YOU ALL DO, TOO.

[1:31:31] WHAT I WANT OUT OF THIS IS FOR

[1:31:34] US TO TRULY COME TOGETHER.

[1:31:36] THIS IS HOW YOU SHOW PEOPLE HOW

[1:31:38] TO GET THINGS DONE. .

[1:31:40] THIS IS THE ONE PROJECT THAT WE

[1:31:42] CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER IN LOVE

[1:31:45] AND COLLORATION. AND REALLY

[1:31:47] BUILD SOMETHING AMAZING ON THIS

[1:31:49] CORRIDOR THAT REFLECTS ALL OF

[1:31:50] US.

[1:31:55] THAT REFLECTS WHAT OUR CITY HAS

[1:31:57] BEEN THROUGH AND THE FUTURE OF

[1:31:59] AND THIS IS IT. WE HAVE TO STOP

[1:32:01] FIGHTING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE TO

[1:32:04] STOP POLITICIZING IT.

[1:32:05] WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER AND SAY

[1:32:06] WE'RE GOING TO SHOW THE WORLD.

[1:32:07] WHEN THEY COME TO THIS AREA,

[1:32:09] WE'RE GOING TO SHOW THE WORLD

[1:32:10] THAT SOMEBODY TERRIBLE HAPPENED,

[1:32:12] BUT LOOK WHAT WE BUILT OUT OF

[1:32:13] IT. AND I KNOW WE CAN DO IT.

[1:32:15] I BELIEVE IN EVERY SINGLE PERSON

[1:32:22] THAT HAS STEPPED FOOT IN THAT

[1:32:24] AREA AND SPENT TIME AND BUILDING

[1:32:25] WHAT IS THERE NOW F

[1:32:27] I THINK OF THE CELEBRATIONS YOU

[1:32:28] ALL HAD IN THE LAST COUPLE OF

[1:32:30] WEEKS.

[1:32:30] WE NEED A PLACE WHERE WE CAN

[1:32:31] HAVE A CELEBRATION WHENEVER W

[1:32:33] DECIDE TO.

[1:32:34] IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE INEMORY

[1:32:36] OF THE DAY THA AGEDY.

[1:32:37] WE NEED TO JUST SAY FRIDAY,

[1:32:38] WE'RE CELEBRATING. ON THE

[1:32:40] CORNER OF 38th AND CHICAGO.

[1:32:42] AND WE NEED A SPACE THAT IS

[1:32:44] SAFE, THAT ISWELCOMING, THAT IS

[1:32:47] LOVING, THAT BRINGS AND SHOW

[1:32:48] CASES THIS COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

[1:32:50] SO I'VE COMMITTED TO WORKING ON

[1:32:53] THIS.

[1:32:56] I'M COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE

[1:32:58] EVERY SINGLE PERSON OVER TRE

[1:32:59] IS ARD. WE DON'T ALWAYS GET

[1:33:00] EV

[1:33:02] WE C DO THIS. I REALLY

[1:33:04] BELIEVE IN THE COMMUNITY. I

[1:33:05] BELIEVE IN THE STRENGTH OF US.

[1:33:09] I BELIEVEHAT WE CAN GET IT

[1:33:12] FUNDED. I BELIEVE WE'RE ALL

[1:33:13] GOING TO CELEBRATE.

[1:33:14] ERE'S GOING TO BE A HUGE

[1:33:16] RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY.

[1:33:17] IT WILL BE THE PLACE.

[1:33:19] AS A NORTH SIDER, I WANT IT TO

[1:33:23] BE THE PLACE WE CAN GO TO. I

[1:33:24] KNOW WE WE CAN DO IT. WE'RE

[1:33:26] GOING TO DO IT.

[1:33:27] THE ONLY REAN I AM SPEAKING

[1:33:29] HERE TODAY IS BECAUSE I WANT YOU

[1:33:30] ALL TO KNOW THAT THIS

[1:33:32] SOMETHING WE'RE ON.

[1:33:34] WE WILL VER, EVER, ER FORGET

[1:33:37] WHAT HAPPENED TO GEORGE FLOYD.

[1:33:39] BUT HIS MEMORY CAN BE ELEVATE

[1:33:41] THIS SPACE, AND I THINKE

[1:33:43] ALL OWE IT TO HI HIS FAMILY,

[1:33:45] THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO CAPTURED THE

[1:33:48] VIDEO, TO SHOWS WHAT HAPPENED.

[1:33:50] WHERE IS SHE IN THIS

[1:33:52] CONVERSATION?

[1:33:52] SHE'S A YOUNG WOMAN IN OUR

[1:33:56] COMMUNITY, AND I WOULD LOVE FOR

[1:33:57] US T SIT DOWN WITH HER AND ASK

[1:33:59] HER, WHAT IS HER LEGACY? SHE

[1:34:01] GAVE SOMETHING TO US.

[1:34:02] WHATRE WE GIVING BACK TO HER

[1:34:04] AS A COMMUNITY? THIS IS ABOUT

[1:34:07] US COLLECTIVELY, AND I WANT THIS

[1:34:08] TO BE A CELEBRATION FOR OUR

[1:34:09] COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT.

[1:34:11] EVERYBODY WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, WE

[1:34:13] DESERVE SOMETHING SPECTACULAR

[1:34:14] THAT WILL HELP US TO NEVER

[1:34:16] FORGET WHAT HAPPENED TO US AND

[1:34:19] WHAT -- THIS IS WHAT SHOW CASES

[1:34:20] US IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE,

[1:34:22] BUT WE SHOWED THE WORLD HOW WE

[1:34:23] COME TOGETHER IN SUPPORT OF EACH

[1:34:25] OTHER.

[1:34:25] AND I WANT THIS TO ULTIMATELY BE

[1:34:28] THAT.

[1:34:28] I AM DEEPLY COMMITTED TO MAKING

[1:34:30] SURE THAT EVERYTHING I SAID

[1:34:45] >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER.

[1:34:47] » COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER.

[1:34:47] >> WELL, THANK YOU, COUNCIL

[1:34:48] » WELL, THANK YOU, COUNCIL

[1:34:48] MEMBER VETAW, FOR REALLY CASTING

[1:34:50] A VISION OF WHERE WE CAN HEAD

[1:34:52] TOGETHER IN UNITY.

[1:34:55] AND MY SIMPLE POINT THAT I WANT

[1:34:56] TO BRING FORWARD AT THIS POINT

[1:34:59] IN TIME IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE

[1:35:01] ALL HAVE RESNSIBILITY FOR

[1:35:03] MOVING THIS FORWARD TOGETHER.

[1:35:04] AND THAT MEANS THAT WE NEED TO

[1:35:10] AND LEAN INTO THE REPRESENTATION

[1:35:11] OF WARDS EIGHT AND WARDS NINE.

[1:35:14] AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE A VISION

[1:35:17] FOR, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

[1:35:20] REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT

[1:35:21] THIS IS THE TIME TO LEAD.

[1:35:23] THIS ISHE TIME TO GET YOUR

[1:35:25] TEAM, IF WE MAKE THIS MOTION TO

[1:35:28] DENY, THIS IS THE TIME TO MOVE

[1:35:30] FORWARD IMMEDIATELY.

[1:35:32] WE CANNOT HAVE ANY FURTHER

[1:35:34] DELAY. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO

[1:35:36] WONDER WT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

[1:35:38] IF THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT STEP

[1:35:40] FROM THOSEHAT ARE AT THE FRONT

[1:35:41] LINE ELECTED REPRESENTATION FROM

[1:35:43] YOUR POINT OF VIEW, THEN WE'VE

[1:35:45] GOT TOEALLY MOVE FORWARD.

[1:35:47] AND THAT'S MY COMMITMENT TO THE

[1:35:50] COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN CONTINUE

[1:35:51] TO MOVE THIS FORWARD IN A TIMELY

[1:35:53] FASHION AND NOT CONTINUE TO HAVE

[1:35:56] DELAYS.

[1:35:57] BUT THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO

[1:35:59] HAS WORKED ON THIS, FOR ALL THE

[1:36:00] COMMUNY MEMBERS, AND I LOOK

[1:36:03] FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO

[1:36:06] CELEBRATE SOMETIME TOGETHER IN

[1:36:07] THIS SPACE.

[1:36:09] >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO.

[1:36:12] » COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO.

[1:36:12] >> IMPORTANTLY, I JUST WANT TO

[1:36:15] » IMPORTANTLY, I JUST WANT TO

[1:36:15] REITERATE WHAT WAS ALREADY SAID

[1:36:16] BUT THOSE THAT REPRESENT THIS

[1:36:18] IMMEDIATE AREA BECAUSE IT

[1:36:19] DESERVES REITERATION.

[1:36:22] YOU REACHED O OUT THE WORK

[1:36:23] TOGEER ON HOW TO STILL MOVE

[1:36:27] NOT TO STALL IT FOR ANOTHER

[1:36:29] YEAR, BUT HOW TO MOVE IT

[1:36:31] FORWARD, ALBEIT IN A DIFRENT

[1:36:32] WAY THAN THE MOTION THAT WAS

[1:36:33] BROUGHT FORWARD TODAY.

[1:36:34] THE CITY PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY

[1:36:36] IN 2023. SOMETIMES I NEEDED TO

[1:36:37] BE REMINDED OF THAT BECAUSE I

[1:36:41] REALLY WASN'T THAT LONG AGO.

[1:36:43] IT HAS TAKEN US THREE YEARS TO

[1:36:45] GET TO THIS POINT, AND I

[1:36:48] UNDERSTAND THERE ARE COMPETING

[1:36:50] VISIONS AND CHOICES THAT AT SOME

[1:36:52] POINT HAD TO BE MADE.

[1:36:54] AND I DO APPRECIATE THE MAYOR

[1:36:55] AND CITY STAFF F MAKING A

[1:36:58] CHOICE.

[1:36:59] I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DEVELOPMENT

[1:37:00] THAT WILL BRING ECONOMIC

[1:37:03] INVESTMENT AND OPPORTUNITY TO

[1:37:04] THIS COMMUNITY, AND HOPEFULLY

[1:37:05] EVEN SE AFFORDABLE HOUSING,

[1:37:07] BUT MY FEAR ABOUT DENYING THIS

[1:37:10] ITEM, THIS PAST COUPLE WEEKS,

[1:37:12] WOULD BE TO BE STARTING OVER

[1:37:13] AGAIN.

[1:37:15] BUT I HAD SOME VERY GOOD

[1:37:17] CONVERSATION WITH COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:37:19] STEVENSON ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY.

[1:37:21] I'LL BE VOTING IN ACCORNCE

[1:37:23] WITH THAT CONVERSATION.

[1:37:23] I WONDER IF THERE IS A WAY TO

[1:37:28] SALVAGE THIS AND MOVE FORWARD IN

[1:37:32] SHORT ORDER.

[1:37:34] I'D LIKE TO KNOW AFTER YOU HE

[1:37:36] THOSE CONVERSATIONS, WHAT WE

[1:37:38] SHOULD DO DIFFERENTLY. HOW WE

[1:37:40] SHOULD OPEN UP PROPOSALS.

[1:37:44] I THINK WE NEED IDEAS OF OTHERS

[1:37:47] WITH EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPMENT.

[1:37:48] THIS IS A VALUABLE SITE FOR THE

[1:37:50] COMMUNITY, AND I WANT US TO

[1:37:52] UTILE IT TO ITS FULLEST

[1:37:53] CAPACITY.

[1:37:57] >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING.

[1:37:58] » COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING.

[1:37:58] >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE,

[1:37:59] » THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE,

[1:37:59] AND THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES.

[1:38:03] I THINK RIGHTLY AND IF CORRECTLY

[1:38:06] NOTED, THIS IS A MOMENT

[1:38:07] PARTICULARLY FOR COLLABORATION

[1:38:08] AND UNITY ON THIS SPECIC SPOT.

[1:38:10] I THINK ALL OF US IN THE CITY OF

[1:38:12] MINNEAPOLIS UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS

[1:38:14] SITE MEANS TO MANY OF US.

[1:38:15] I KNOW MANY OF US GOT INTO

[1:38:18] PUBLIC SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE

[1:38:22] MURDER OF GEGE FLOYD.

[1:38:23] PARTICULARLY, I WANT TO TALK

[1:38:24] ABOUT THE LOGISTICS OF WHAT THIS

[1:38:27] DOES. SO THERE IS CONFUSION

[1:38:28] AROUND WHAT THIS DENIAL ACTUALLY

[1:38:30] DOES, AND WT MOVING FORWARD

[1:38:33] WITH THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT OR

[1:38:36] SORRY, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD

[1:38:37] DO.

[1:38:40] AND IF THIS PROPOSAL AS

[1:38:42] RECOMMENDED MOVED FORWARD, AGAPE

[1:38:44] WOULD HAVE TWO YEARS AND THEN UP

[1:38:46] TO AN EXTRA YEAR TO KIND OF

[1:38:49] DEVELOP OUT A SITE.

[1:38:51] ATTACHED TO THAT JUST LOOKING AT

[1:38:52] OUR TERM SHEETS, THIS IS NOT AN

[1:38:56] UNSOPHISTICATED DEVELOPMENT.

[1:38:57] THIS REQUIRES A LOT OF

[1:38:59] ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION ALG

[1:39:01] WITH KIND OF THE PERMITTING

[1:39:02] PROCESS THAT CAN TAKE YEARS TO

[1:39:05] KIND OF BLD OUT A DEVELOPMENT

[1:39:06] OF THAT.

[1:39:09] AND SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THESE

[1:39:11] THING, WE ALSO HAVE TO

[1:39:12] UNDERSTAND WE DON'T WANT TO SET

[1:39:14] UP COMMUNITY SETUP OR VERSION OF

[1:39:16] DEVELOPMENT, THE CITY'S VERSION,

[1:39:20] DEVELOPMENT TO BE -- TO KIND OF

[1:39:21] NOT MEET WHAT THIS ACTUALLY

[1:39:22] SHOULD BE.

[1:39:23] AND SO I THINK WHEN WE SPEAK

[1:39:24] ABOUT THIS AND SEEING THIS AS IT

[1:39:28] SOUNDS LIKE THIS WILL PROBABLY

[1:39:29] MOVE FORWARD WITH A DENIAL,

[1:39:32] MAKING SURE IN CONVERSATION WITH

[1:39:34] COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON AND

[1:39:35] COCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ ALONG WITH

[1:39:36] THE MAYOR, WE FIGURE OUT HOW

[1:39:38] BEST TO SET THIS UP FOR SUCCESS.

[1:39:40] I THINK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US

[1:39:42] IN THIS ROOM ON THIS DAIS WANTS

[1:39:44] TO SEE THIS MOVE FORWARD IN A

[1:39:46] WAY THAT IS SUCCESSFUL, LIKE

[1:39:48] COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW SAID.

[1:39:50] THAT MEETS THE MOMENT AND IS

[1:39:52] SPECTACULAR IN THAT.

[1:39:53] AND SO I THINK WE ALSO HAVE TO

[1:39:54] COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING THAT

[1:39:57] THIS IS A PROCESS AND LOGISTICS

[1:40:01] THAT IS DEEPER THAN JUST, HEY,

[1:40:03] LET'S FIGURE THIS OUT.

[1:40:05] THIS IS REQUIRED A LEVEL OF

[1:40:08] UNDERSTANDING ANDXPERIENCE

[1:40:09] THAT WILL MEET THIS DEVELOPMENT

[1:40:13] BECAUSE THIS I A SITE THAT HAS

[1:40:15] A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS AROUND IT

[1:40:16] AS WELL. SO I KNOW I AM LOOKING

[1:40:18] FORWARD TO THOSE HEARING ABOUT

[1:40:19] THOSE CONVERSATIONS, AND I KNOW

[1:40:20] THIS BODY IS AS WELL, S THANK

[1:40:22] YOU.

[1:40:26] I'LL KP MY REMARKS BEF. I

[1:40:28] SPOKE TO THIS IN THE CLIMATE AND

[1:40:30] INFRTRUCTURE COMMITTEE, AND

[1:40:33] I'M SEEING SEVERAL OF THE

[1:40:34] COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WERE AT

[1:40:35] THE MEETING HERE AGAIN.

[1:40:37] THANK YOU FOR COMING TO CITY

[1:40:38] HALL.

[1:40:39] I KNOW IT IS REALLY OUT OF THE

[1:40:41] WAY, AND IT'S BEEN A TOUGH WEEK

[1:40:44] OVER AT THE SQUA, SO I JUST

[1:40:45] APPRECIATE YOU COMING BACK DOWN

[1:40:47] HERE.

[1:40:47] AND AGAIN, LIKE I HOPE WE CAN

[1:40:50] COME TOGETHER I A MOMENT OF

[1:40:54] SOMETHING POSITIVE, AND

[1:40:55] SOMETHING IGHT RATHER THAN

[1:40:58] HAVING TO CONTINUE TO MUL

[1:41:00] THROUGH CONFLICT AND COMMUNITY

[1:41:02] FEELING UNHEARD.

[1:41:03] LIKE I SAID, IN CLIMATE AND

[1:41:06] INFRASTRUCTURE, COMMUNITY NEEDS

[1:41:06] TO GET A BREAK.

[1:41:09] THIS AREA, THE BLACK COMMITY,

[1:41:11] THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY,

[1:41:13] EVERNE THAT'S IN 38th AND

[1:41:15] CHICAGO NEED TO GET A BREAK.

[1:41:16] AND THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS

[1:41:18] ABSOLUTELY HAS A ROLE IN

[1:41:19] PROVIDING THAT. JUST WANT TO

[1:41:21] TAKE A SECOND TO THANK COUNCIL

[1:41:23] MEMBER CHAVEZ AND COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:41:26] STEVENSON. THEY REALLY HAVE

[1:41:26] BEEN UP HERE TALKING TO EH AND

[1:41:29] ERY COUNCIL MEMBER AND TRYING

[1:41:30] TO MOVE US FORWARD.

[1:41:32] A FEW THINGS THAT I FEEL IS

[1:41:36] RELY NECESSARY IS THERE NEE

[1:41:37] TO BE JUST BETTER COMMUNICATION

[1:41:40] AND LEANING IN WITHIN THE CITY

[1:41:43] HERE

[1:41:43] OUR CPED DEPARTMENT, OUR PUBLIC

[1:41:45] WORKS DEPARTMENT, CITY COUNCIL,

[1:41:46] MAYOR'S OFFICE, AND I THINK

[1:41:48] THERE IS A FRICTION THERE THAT

[1:41:50] COMMUNITY IS ULTIMATELY FEELING.

[1:41:52] SO THAT NEED TO BE NUMBER ONE.

[1:41:53] THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY FOR US

[1:41:55] TO STREAMNE A WAY FOR US TO DO

[1:41:58] THIS POSITIVELY AND THAT IS THE

[1:41:59] WORK THAT IS ON US.

[1:42:01] AND THE OTHER THING THAT I HEAR

[1:42:04] IS THAT COMMITY NEEDS TO BE A

[1:42:04] PART OF THE DECIDING THE PROCESS

[1:42:08] IN TERMS OF SELECTING THE

[1:42:10] ORGANIZATION, THE ORGANIZATIONS

[1:42:11] HOWEVER THIS WILL GO FOR THE

[1:42:13] PEOPLE'S WAY. THERE NEEDS TO BE

[1:42:16] MORE COLLABORATION.

[1:42:18] AND THE OTHER THING, AND WHERE

[1:42:20] MY SUPPORT FOR DYING THIS

[1:42:22] APPLICATION TODAY COMES FROM IS

[1:42:25] THE SURVEY RESULTS WERE VERY

[1:42:28] CLEAR.

[1:42:28] THIS DOES NOT HAVE DEMOCRATIC

[1:42:31] SUPPORT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

[1:42:31] AND IT'S THE PEOPLE'S WAY, AFTER

[1:42:34] ALL.

[1:42:35] AND THERE ISN'T CLEAR CONSENSUS.

[1:42:37] AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING

[1:42:38] MA OF US CAN AGREE, AND I

[1:42:40] THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING.

[1:42:42] WE NEED TO DO THIS RIGHT. THIS

[1:42:44] HAS TO HAVE THE TRUST OF THE

[1:42:45] COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE CITY OF

[1:42:46] MINNEAPOLIS CANNOT SUPPLEMENT

[1:42:47] THAT TRUST. THE CITY OF

[1:42:48] MINNEAPOLIS HAS BEEN A PART OF

[1:42:50] BREAKING THAT TRUST.

[1:42:50] AND LASTLY, ONE THING WE CAN DO

[1:42:54] AND ONE THING I'M HOPING WE WILL

[1:42:57] DO TODAY IS LOOKING AT THAT

[1:42:59] SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.

[1:43:00] WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT

[1:43:02] IN OUR NEXT COMMITTEE REPORT,

[1:43:03] BUT ALSO BRINGING INVESTMENT

[1:43:05] INTO 38th AND CHICAGO.

[1:43:07] IT'S BEEN A VERY, VERY LONG

[1:43:08] TIME. IT'S TIME FOR THE CITY TO

[1:43:10] PUT THE MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH

[1:43:11] IS AND MAKE IT HAPPEN AND DO IT

[1:43:14] IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE

[1:43:14] COMMUNITY.

[1:43:18] >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN.

[1:43:19] >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT

[1:43:21] » THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT

[1:43:21] PAYNE. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION

[1:43:34] LOOKING TO VOTE YES OR NO, I

[1:43:37] MEAN, IS THIS GOING TO SRT

[1:43:38] THIS PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN ON

[1:43:41] BEHALF OF WHAT'S HAPPENING?

[1:43:45] CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE ME WITH

[1:43:47] CONTEXT OF WHAT EXACTLY IS --

[1:43:49] BECAUSE I'M CONFUSED RIGHT AT

[1:43:50] THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT. AND I

[1:43:51] JUST NEED SOME CLARITY.

[1:43:53] >> SO VOTING YES ON THE DENIAL

[1:43:56] » SO VOTING YES ON THE DENIAL

[1:43:56] WOULD END THIS PROCESS. AND

[1:43:58] THEN WE COULD DO THE SAME

[1:43:59] PROCEN

[1:44:01] ENTIRELY NEW PROCESS. WE COULD

[1:44:03] DO SOMETHING ELSE.

[1:44:04] SO A VOTE YES IS TO END THIS

[1:44:08] CURRENT PROCESS. A VOTE NO IS

[1:44:10] TO CONTINUE THIS CURRENT

[1:44:10] PROCESS.

[1:44:13] THAT'S THE DECISION WE HAVE

[1:44:16] BEFORE US.

[1:44:16] >> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE

[1:44:24] » OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE

[2:08:20] MY RECOLLECTION ON THE CHARTER

[2:08:52] I'M SEEING IT'S -- IT'S THE

[2:08:54] WHOLE REPORT DELETING ITEM

[2:08:55] NUMBER TWO, RIGHT?

[2:09:02] » I WANTED TO SPEAK TO ITEM

[2:09:02] ONE, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY

[2:09:03] AGREEMENTS ORDINANCE. THIS IS

[2:09:06] BASICALLY RESTRICTING LAW

[2:09:07] ENFORCEMENT THAT WE DO JOINT

[2:09:08] POWERS AGREEMENT WITH. THE CITY

[2:09:10] OF MINNEAPOLIS MOVING FORWARD

[2:09:11] FROM CONCEALING THEIR FACE WITH

[2:09:14] A MASK. I AM PROUD TO CO-AUTHOR

[2:09:17] THIS WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ

[2:09:19] AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHI.

[2:09:21] WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIMEN

[2:09:23] THIS WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEYS.

[2:09:25] UMM, TALKI TO THE MAYOR'S

[2:09:27] OFFICE, TALKING TO THE SHERIFFS,

[2:09:28] AND I THINK IT'S IT REALLY

[2:09:30] IMPORTANT THAT WE, ASOCAL

[2:09:32] GOVERNMENT, TAKE A VERY LOCAL

[2:09:34] STAND AND HAVE POLICY ON THE

[2:09:35] BOOK THAT SAY IF YOU COVER YOUR

[2:09:39] FACES, LAW ENFORCEMENT,

[2:09:39] ESPECIALH

[2:09:42] I.C.E. AGENTS COVERING THEIR

[2:09:43] IDENTITY AND LITERALLY BREAKING

[2:09:45] THE LAW. AND ATTACKING OUR

[2:09:46] COMMUNITIES. IT BREAKS DOWN

[2:09:48] TRUST AND IT IS

[2:09:50] NOT SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY

[2:09:51] CAN LIVE WITH. ESPECIALLY IN

[2:09:52] THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. WHERE

[2:09:53] WE HAVE SEEN SO MUCH HARM WHEN

[2:09:56] THERE ISN'T TRANSPARENCY AND

[2:09:58] ACCOUNTABILITY FROM OUR LAW

[2:09:59] ENFORCEMENT. AND I THINK THIS

[2:10:00] IS ONE VERY NARROW AND SMALL

[2:10:02] STEP THAT WE'RE TAKING FORWARD.

[2:10:04] EN IT COMES TO THE FUTURE

[2:10:06] JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS, I THINK

[2:10:07] THAT THERE IS MORE THAT WE NEED

[2:10:08] TO DO. I'M GLAD THIS

[2:10:11] LEGISLURE TOOK SOME ACTION

[2:10:13] AROUND BANNING MASKING. AND I

[2:10:16] ALSO, UMM, WANT TO UPLIFTHE

[2:10:18] PROVISION THAT FOR US WITH JOINT

[2:10:21] POWERS AGREENTS, EVEN IN COLD

[2:10:23] WEATHER, WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A

[2:10:25] REASON DUE TO ILEMENT WEATHER

[2:10:26] TO COVER FACES, WE'RE REQUIRING

[2:10:29] THAT THE NAME AND BADGE NUMBER

[2:10:31] OF AN OFFICER IS AFFIX ON THE

[2:10:35] MASK. SO THERE'S THE

[2:10:36] TRANSPARENCY AND THAT

[2:10:39] ACCOUNTABILITY. UMM, BECAUSE WE

[2:10:40] SAW IN REALTIME, THE HORRORS OF

[2:10:44] WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND HOW IT

[2:10:46] CREATES ANXIETY, DISTRUST, AND

[2:10:47] AR WITHIN OUR COMMUNITYHEN

[2:10:48] WE DON'T HAVE IT. ESPECIALLY

[2:10:51] FOR OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.

[2:10:56] >> MADAM CITY ATTORNEY.

[2:10:58] » MADAM CITY ATTORNEY.

[2:10:59] >> YEAH. COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

[2:11:01] » YEAH. COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

[2:11:01] COUNCIL MEMBERS, JUST FOLLOWING

[2:11:02] UP ON THE QUESTION THAT COUNCIL

[2:11:06] MEMBER CHUGHTAI RAISED. SO, THE

[2:11:09] CHARTER SAYS IF AN OFFICE HAS

[2:11:11] BEEN VACANT FOR AT LEAST 90 DAYS

[2:11:13] OR 30 DAYS IN THE CASE OF A

[2:11:14] POLICE CHIEF AND THE MAYOR

[2:11:16] FAILED TO NOMINATE A SUCCESSOR,

[2:11:18] OR IF THE MAYOR HAS NOMINATED

[2:11:21] THREE CANDIDATES THAT THE

[2:11:22] COUNCIL REJECTED, THE COUNCIL,

[2:11:24] MAY BY A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBER,

[2:11:28] NAME THREE CANDIDATES WHICHHE

[2:11:30] MAYOR MUST NOMINATE ONE. I

[2:11:34] AGENDA IS NOT A SAME AS AROM THE

[2:11:35] REJECTION. AND, ALSO, WE'RE NOT

[2:11:38] WITHIN THE VACANCY PERIOD. SO

[2:11:45] ...

[2:11:46] >> COUNCIL MEMBE CHUGHTAI, THAT

[2:11:48] » COUNCIL MEMBE CHUGHTAI, THAT

[2:11:48] ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?

[2:11:50] >> AH, IT DOES, MR. PRESIDENT.

[2:11:52] » AH, IT DOES, MR. PRESIDENT.

[2:11:52] AND SO, THEN, I'M WONDERING WHY

[2:11:55] WE, ,AVE DECIDED TO MOVE

[2:11:56] FORWARD WITH BE DELETING THIS

[2:11:58] ITEM FROM THE AGENDA INSTEAD OF

[2:12:00] DENYING THE NOMINATION. SINCE

[2:12:02] WE RECEIVED, LIKE, A DUTIFUL

[2:12:04] NOMINATION THAT WENT THROUGH OUR

[2:12:06] PROCESS. AND CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE

[2:12:08] AINLY CHANGED. UMM, BUT IT

[2:12:12] SOUNDS LIKE IN ORDER FOR THIS --

[2:12:14] IT SOUNDS LIKE THE NOMINATION IS

[2:12:17] BEFORE US UNTIL WE DISPOSE OF

[2:12:18] IT. AND SO SHOULDN'T WEOVE TO

[2:12:22] DENY IT INSTEAD?

[2:12:24] >> AH, I SEE -- I'M GOING TO

[2:12:26] » AH, I SEE -- I'M GOING TO

[2:12:26] CALL ON THE CLERK.

[2:12:27] >> MR. PRESIDENT, THIS IS A

[2:12:29] » MR. PRESIDENT, THIS IS A

[2:12:29] PROCEDURAL PCE FOR US. FORMER

[2:12:32] CHIEF O'HARA RESIGNED HIS

[2:12:33] POSITION. IT'SN OUR AGENDA

[2:12:35] BECAUSE THE NOMINATION WAS MADE.

[2:12:36] BUT THAT NOMINATION NO ACTION

[2:12:38] THIS BODY CAN TAKE ON THAT WOULD

[2:12:40] BE ANYTHING TO DELETE FROM THE

[2:12:41] AGENDA. I'LL REMIND PEOE

[2:12:43] DELETE FROM THE AGENDA SO WE,

[2:12:44] THE CLERKS, PROCEDURALLY CAN

[2:12:46] CLOSE THE FILE AND TAKE IT OUT

[2:12:47] OF LIMS. THAT'S WHY WE PUT IT

[2:12:49] IN FRONT OF YOU. THERE'S

[2:12:50] NOTHING TO ACT O BECAUSE THE

[2:12:52] NOMINATION IS NULL AND VOID WHEN

[2:12:53] THE OFFICER IN QUESTION RESIGNED

[2:12:55] THE POSITION. SO I THI THAT

[2:12:56] OUR ACTION TAY ON DELETING IT

[2:12:58] SEPARATE FROM THE QUESTION

[2:12:59] YOU'VE ASKED, COUNCIL MEMBER, TO

[2:13:01] THE CITY ATTORNEY. WHICH IS

[2:13:04] THE NUMBER OF NOMINATIONS THATND

[2:13:06] ARE ALLOWED TO BE MADE.

[2:13:10] >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY.

[2:13:13] » COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY.

[2:13:13] >> YEAH. I THINK MAYBE THIS IS

[2:13:15] » YEAH. I THINK MAYBE THIS IS

[2:13:15] A QUESTION FOR THE CITY CLERK.

[2:13:16] I THINK FORE, FEELS IMPORTANT

[2:13:18] TO UNDERSTAND PROCESS AND, LIKE,

[2:13:21] ADHERE TO THE CHARTER PROCESSES

[2:13:23] WE HAVE LAID OUT AS IT COMES TO

[2:13:25] E NOMINATIONS. AND WE'VE HAD

[2:13:27] DISCUSSIONS ABOUT, AND I'M NOT

[2:13:29] TRYING TO PICK FIGHTS BUT I WT

[2:13:30] TO GET IT RIGHT. WHERE DOES IT

[2:13:34] SAY THAT IN POLICY THAT ONCE AN

[2:13:37] OFFICER RESIGNS, A NOMINATION IS

[2:13:39] NULL AND VOID? IS THAT CODIFIED

[2:13:42] SOMEWHERE?

[2:13:44] >> MR. CLERK?

[2:13:44] » MR. CLERK?

[2:13:44] >> THROUGH THE PRESIDENT, I

[2:13:46] » THROUGH THE PRESIDENT, I

[2:13:46] DON'T KNOW IF OF ANYTHING THAT

[2:13:47] IS CODIFIED THAT WOULD SPEAK TO

[2:13:49] YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTION. THE

[2:13:50] FACT OF THE MATR, THOUGH,

[2:13:52] REGARDLESS OF POLICY, IS THAT A

[2:13:54] NOMINATION WAS MADE. THE PERSON

[2:13:56] WHO WAS NOMINATED RESIGNED.

[2:13:57] THEY'RE NO LONGER EVEN AN

[2:13:59] PLOYEE. THEY'RE NOT IN

[2:14:00] CONSIDERATION. THE MAYOR HAS A

[2:14:02] DUTY TO BRING A NEW NOMINATION.

[2:14:04] THE QUESTION THAT COUNCIL MEMBER

[2:14:05] CHUGHTAI ASKED THAT THE ATTORNEY

[2:14:06] WAS ADDRESSING, I THINK, IS A

[2:14:07] SEPARATE QUESTION. THE DELETE

[2:14:09] FROM THE AGENDA IS A PURELY

[2:14:11] PROCEDURAL ISSUE TO TAKE IT OFF

[2:14:12] THE AGENDA, TO CLOSE THE FILE,

[2:14:14] AND SEPARATE THAT OFF THE

[2:14:15] AGENDA. BECAUSE WHEN TNGS

[2:14:16] COME IN FRONT OF US, IT'S IN

[2:14:18] FRONT OF US TO DEAL WITH.

[2:14:19] THERE'S NOTHING THE BODY CAN DO

[2:14:21] ON A NOMINATION OF BRIAN O'HARA

[2:14:24] THE PIECE OF CHIEF OF POLICE.

[2:14:29] HE'S RESIGNED. SO I THINK IT'S

[2:14:31] NOT A MATTER OF A POLICY. IT'S

[2:14:33] JUST PROCEDURALLY. THAT'S WHY I

[2:14:34] SAID THIS ISN'T A CHARTER ISSUE.

[2:14:36] IT'S NOT A CITY POLICY ISSUE.

[2:14:38] IT'S CLEANING UP OUR OWN AGENDA

[2:14:40] SO WE DON'T KEEP AN ITEM OUT

[2:14:41] THERE. AS YOUNOW, IF WE DON'T

[2:14:43] PUT THINGS, POSTPONED TO A

[2:14:45] CERTAIN DAY, IF WEEAVE THINGS

[2:14:47] ON, ITEMSILL CONTINUE TO COME

[2:14:50] UP ON TH AGEND THIS ITEM HAS

[2:14:51] NO VALUE TO THE COUNCIL BECAUSE

[2:14:53] THERE'NOTHING TO ACT ON.

[2:14:54] >> OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I FEEL

[2:14:55] » OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I FEEL

[2:14:55] LIKE THIS DISCUSSION IS

[2:14:57] IMPORTANT. AND I WANT TO BE

[2:14:59] CLEAR, LIKE, I THINK I'M RIGHT

[2:15:01] IN HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT

[2:15:02] THIS. BECAUSEE, AS A GROUP,

[2:15:04] AND AS A CITY, AS ELECTED

[2:15:07] LEADS, HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE

[2:15:11] CONVERSATION TOGETHER ABOUT THE

[2:15:12] RESIATION OF THE CHIEF. AND I

[2:15:14] THINK WE DO NEED TO HAVE THAT.

[2:15:17] BECAUSE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

[2:15:18] DEAL. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO

[2:15:19] COME TOGETHER ON FIGURING OUT

[2:15:22] HOW TO APPOINT THE NEXT CHIEF OF

[2:15:24] POLICE, WRE GOING TO NEED TO

[2:15:26] HAVE THIS CONVERSATION. I HAVE

[2:15:27] ALSO SHARED THAT WITH THE MAYOR.

[2:15:28] I FEELIKE THAT WAS A

[2:15:30] PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION. BUT

[2:15:30] THIS IS A FIRST PLACES THAT

[2:15:31] WE'RE HAVING IT. THE OTHER

[2:15:33] POINT THAT I WANT TO THE MAKE IS

[2:15:35] THAT WITHIN THE CITY CHARTER,

[2:15:37] THE COUNCIL HAS TO REJECT AN

[2:15:41] APPOINENT FOR IT TRIED TO

[2:15:42] HAPPEN. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING

[2:15:44] THAT -- AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE

[2:15:46] GOG TO NEED TO HAVE THREE

[2:15:47] TRIES. I HOPE WE DON'T. BUT,

[2:15:49] LIKE, ON PRINCIPLE, LIKE, THIS

[2:15:51] WE

[2:15:55] E

[2:15:56] IF WE DELETE, THAT'S MY

[2:15:58] UNDERSTANDING. I'MOT MAKING

[2:15:59] AN ALTERNATIVE MOTION, BUT IT'S

[2:16:02] JUST WE'VE HAD SO MANY

[2:16:03] CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE RULES,

[2:16:05] OUR CITY ATTORNEY HAD TO WEIGH

[2:16:08] IN. I DON'T THINK IT'S, LIKE,

[2:16:10] SOMETHING THAT IS WISE TO JUST,

[2:16:12] LIKE, PASS BY. AND BETTER

[2:16:15] UNDERSTANDING THIS CHAER

[2:16:18] PROCESS.

[2:16:21] >> BEFORE I CALL ON COUNCIL

[2:17:16] OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I'M

[2:28:02] MAYOR HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO

[2:28:03] VETO. I HE VETOES, AND IT

[2:28:07] COMES BACK AND THE VETO IS NOT

[2:28:12] OVERDDEN. JUST LIKE IN

[2:28:18] COMMISSIONER BAR BARNETTE'S

[2:28:25] SITUATION. IF HE DOESN'T VETO

[2:28:27] OR HE VETOES AND IT COMES BACK

[2:28:29] TO THE BODY, AND THE BODY

[2:28:31] OVERRIDES THE VETO. THEN IT IS

[2:28:34] A REJECTION. AS I SIT HERE

[2:28:36] TODAY, I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD

[2:28:37] COUNT AS ONE OFHE THREE.

[2:28:40] THAT'S, I THINK THERE ARE SORT

[2:28:42] OF TWO DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON

[2:28:43] IN THAT PARAGRAPH THAT I READ.

[2:28:44] ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE VACANCY

[2:28:47] TRIGGERS, LIKE, YOU HAVE TO

[2:28:49] MAKE -- START MAKING NOMINATIONS

[2:28:53] T

[2:28:53] EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE VACANCY

[2:28:55] PERIOD, IFHERE IS A NOMINATION

[2:28:57] AND IT'S LEGALLY FULLY REJECTED,

[2:28:59] IT WOULD COU AS ONE OF THE

[2:29:02] THREE. DOES THAT?

[2:29:04] >> YES.

[2:29:04] » YES.

[2:29:04] >> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

[2:29:12] AND DOES IT -- IF IT IS -- IF IT

[2:29:16] IS -- IF THE -- IF THE MOVEMENT

[2:29:19] THAT GOES TO THE MAYOR AS A

[2:29:21] DENIAL, AND IT IS VETOED AND IT

[2:29:23] DOESN'T ACHIEVE THE TWO-THIRDS

[2:29:26] MAJORITY TO BE OVERRIDDEN, DOES

[2:29:28] IT STAY ON OUR AGENDA? DOES IT

[2:29:31] COME BACK SIMILAR TO WHAT IS

[2:29:33] HAPPENING WITH COMMISSIONER

[2:29:35] BARNETTE?

[2:29:35] >> AH, PRESIDENT, COUNCIL

[2:29:39] » AH, PRESIDENT, COUNCIL

[2:29:52] OR THE MAYOR COULD WITHDRAWAL.

[2:29:55] >> WITHDRAW.

[2:29:55] » WITHDRAW.

[2:29:57] . OKAY. HELPFUL. THANK

[2:30:06] WOULD WE WANT TO LIMIT THE

[2:30:27] NOMINATION BEFORE THE BODY OF A

[2:30:29] PERSON WHO HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF

[2:30:31] ABUSING THEIR POWER IN MANNERS

[2:30:36] AND ARE THE REASON THAT --

[2:30:40] THAT -- THAT, AH, U MAL

[2:30:45] ULTIMATELY, AT LEAST THE MAY

[2:30:46] HAS SHARED THE DISCUSSION THAT

[2:30:48] TOOK PLACE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND

[2:30:49] THE FORMER CHIEF THAT IT IS WHAT

[2:30:53] RESULTED IN THE -- I HIS, AH,

[2:30:56] IN THE CHIEF'S RESIGNATION. I'M

[2:30:57] CONCERNED WITH MAKING SUR THAT,

[2:31:00] AH, THIS BODY IS TAKING

[2:31:02] DISPOSITIVE ACTION. TAKING

[2:31:03] FINAL DELIBERATIVE ACTION, UMM,

[2:31:07] TO -- TO -- TO DENY THE

[2:31:10] APPOINTMENT OF SOMEONE WHO

[2:31:12] HAS -- HAS VERY CLEARLY MISSED

[2:31:14] THE MARK OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE

[2:31:15] A PUBLIC SERVANT. HAT IT MEANS

[2:31:18] TO LEAVE HERE IN THE CITY OF

[2:31:19] MINNEAPOLIS. AND WHAT ITEANS

[2:31:22] RESPONSIBILITY IN ENSURING THE

[2:31:24] SATY OF THE 400,000 PLUS

[2:31:29] PEOPLE THAT CALL MINNEAPOLIS

[2:31:30] HOME. I DON'T HAVE A PERSONAL

[2:31:32] GRIPE TO PICK ABOUT LIMITING

[2:31:34] ANYONE'S OPTIONS. I WOULD HOPE,

[2:31:35] ACTUALLY, THE NEXT NINATION

[2:31:36] FOR THE CHIEF OF POLICE THAT

[2:31:37] COMES BEFORE US IS ONE THAT IS

[2:31:40] THE PRODUCT OF, AH,

[2:31:43] COLLABORATION AND DISCUSSION

[2:31:43] WITH THE COUNCIL. THAT'S ALL I

[2:31:45] ACTUALLY REALLY WT. BUT I --

[2:31:50] PREVIOUS ACTIONS, AT LEAST IN MY

[2:31:51] TIME HERE, THAT, AH, THAT VERY

[2:31:56] CLEARLY REJECT THIS TYPE OF

[2:31:59] BEHAVIOR AND CONDEMN IT. AND SO

[2:32:01] I WANT THAT REFLECTED IN -- IN

[2:32:04] SUCH AN IMPORTANT CHOICE BEFORE

[2:32:06] US, TOO.

[2:32:17] TO BE ABLE TO NOT LIT THE

[2:32:21] INFLUENCE OF THIS BODY ON A

[2:32:23] SMALLER NUMBER OF CHOICES THAT

[2:33:20] PERIOD. THERE WAS NO VACANCY.

[2:33:22] ONCE HE RESIGNED, THE POSITION

[2:33:23] BECAME VACANT. AND UNDER THE

[2:33:26] CHARTER YOU KNOW, THE I HAVE

[2:33:29] VACANCY PERIOD FOR THE

[2:33:30] CHIEF IS 30 DAYS WITHIN THAT

[2:33:33] PERIOD OF TIME. THE MAYOR, IF

[2:33:36] HE DOESN'T MAKE A NOMINATION,

[2:33:37] THAT WOULD OPEN UP THE

[2:33:38] OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNCIL TO

[2:33:42] NOMINATE A SLATE OF THREE. OR,

[2:33:45] WITHIN THAT TIME, THERE ARE

[2:33:47] THREE REJECTED CANDIDATES, YOU

[2:33:48] KNOW, THAT WOULD ALSO OPEN UP

[2:33:52] THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE THE

[2:33:57] OF VOTE BY THE ENTIRE BODY TO

[2:33:59] PRESENT A SLATE OF THREE OR MORE

[2:34:00] TO CHOOSE FROM. OBVIOUSLY,

[2:34:01] THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY THA THE

[2:34:03] COUNCIL HAS. IT'S NOT A

[2:34:04] MANDATORY THING. AND SO IF THE

[2:34:07] COUNCIL WANTS TO GIVE THE MAYOR

[2:34:11] ADDITIONAL TIME TO DO A FULL

[2:34:15] COMPREHENSIVE, THOUGH SEARCH

[2:34:15] AND HIRING PROCESS, YOU KNOW,

[2:34:49] CANDIDE WITHIN 30 DAYS, THAT

[2:35:06] MUST CHOOSE ONE. SO THE

[2:35:31] MAYBE AMEND MY WORDS A LITTLE

[2:35:32] B

[2:35:33] SO, ONCE THERE'S A VACANCY, AND

[2:35:35] THERE IS. THERE WAS AS OF THE

[2:35:40] CHARTER SAYS IF AN OFFICE HASE

[2:35:42] BEEN VACANT FOR 30 DAYS IN THE

[2:35:45] CASE OF THE POLICE CHIEF AND THE

[2:35:47] MAYOR HAS FAILED TO NOMINATE A

[2:35:49] SUCCESSOR. SO I WAS WRONG.

[2:35:51] IT'S NOT A SUCCESSFUL

[2:35:52] NOMINATION. HAS TO MAKE THE

[2:35:53] NOMINATION OF A SUCCESSOR. OR

[2:35:56] IF THE MAYOR HAS NOMINATED THREE

[2:35:58] CANDIDATES, THE COUNCIL HAS

[2:35:59] REJECTED. SO TWO DIFFERENT

[2:36:01] WAYS. THEN THE COUNCIL MAY, BY

[2:36:03] A MAJORITY OF ITS MEMBERSHIP,

[2:36:06] NAME TEE OR MORE CANDIDATES

[2:36:08] FROM WHOM THE MAYOR MUST

[2:36:09] NOMINATE ONE. SO MY

[2:36:10] INTERPRETATS

[2:36:13] THAT DURING THIS VACANCY PERIOD.

[2:36:16] THIS 30-DAY VACANCY PERIOD, THE

[2:36:19] YOR -- IF THE MAYOR MAKES A

[2:36:20] NOMINATION. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO

[2:36:22] BE SUCCESSFUL -- DOESN'T HAVE

[2:36:23] TO, LIKE, FINISH. BUT IF THE

[2:36:25] MAYOR MAKES A NOMINATION DURING

[2:36:27] THE 30-DAY PERIOD, IT STAVES OFF

[2:36:29] THE COUNCIL'S OPPORTUNITY TO

[2:36:31] NAME A SLATE. BUT EVEN IF THE

[2:36:34] MAYOR DOESN'T MAKE A NOMINATION

[2:36:36] WITHIN THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, IT'S

[2:36:39] ALWAYS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT AT

[2:36:41] COUNCIL HAS TO VOTE ON AND NAME

[2:36:43] A SLATE OF THREE. BUT THE

[2:36:45] COUNCIL DOES NOT HAVE TO AVAIL

[2:36:47] ITSELF OF THAT OPPORTUNITY. IT

[2:36:49] COULD DETERMINE THAT IT'S GOING,

[2:36:51] YOU KNOW, IT'S IN THE BEST

[2:36:52] INTEREST OF THE CITY TO HAVE A

[2:36:54] FULL, YOU KNOW, NATIONAL SEARCH

[2:36:55] AND A THOROUGH RECRUITME

[2:36:57] PROCESS AND GIVE THE MAYOR MORE

[2:37:00] TIME THAN THE 30 DAYS. DOES

[2:37:03] THAT MAKE SENSE?

[2:37:04] >> THANK YOU. YEAH. I DON'T

[2:37:05] » THANK YOU. YEAH. I DON'T

[2:37:05] THINKHAT THE OUTCOME THAT WE

[2:37:07] WANT HERE IS RHING A PROCESS

[2:37:11] IN RECRUITING A NEW NOMINATION.

[2:37:13] I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.

[2:37:16] >> AH, I ADDED MYSELF TO QUEUE

[2:37:18] » AH, I ADDED MYSELF TO QUEUE

[2:37:18] TO SPEAK TO THE MOTION TO DENY.

[2:37:21] THAT'S BECAUSE, UMM, I THINK

[2:37:23] THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE

[2:37:24] LETTER OF THE LAW AND THEN

[2:37:25] THERE'S THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.

[2:37:28] AND OUR CHARTER, THE SPIRIT OF

[2:37:29] IT, IS TO SAY THAT THE MAYOR AND

[2:37:33] THE CITY COUNCIL NEED TO COME

[2:37:34] TOGETHER AND AGREE. AND THAT'S

[2:37:38] WHY THERE IS THIS PROSION FOR

[2:37:41] COUNCIL CONSENT FOR THE MAYOR'S

[2:37:43] NOMINATIONS. WHAT WE'VE LEARNED

[2:37:45] WITH PREVIOUS NOMINATIONS THAT

[2:37:46] WERE DENIED IS THAT C THEY CAN

[2:37:49] BE PLACED IN LIMBO. IF WE WERE

[2:37:50] TO DELETE IT, THAT ALSO DOESN'T

[2:37:52] COUNT. S IT WOULD BASICALLY

[2:37:54] CREATE A CONDITION IN WHICH

[2:37:55] THERE'S ACTUALLY NO POINT OF

[2:37:57] HAVI THIS PROVISION IN OUR

[2:37:59] CHARTER FOR THREE ATTEMPTS. IF

[2:38:02] NOTHING THAT THE COUNCIL DOES

[2:38:04] COUNTS AS AN ATTEMPT, THEN THAT

[2:38:06] CHARTER PROVISION IS IRRELEVANT.

[2:38:08] WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE

[2:38:09] SPIRIT OF THAT CHARTER

[2:38:10] PROVISION. THE SPIRIT OF THAT

[2:38:13] CHARTER PROVISION, TO ME, IS

[2:38:15] THAR

[2:38:16] PROCESS THE MAYOR WANTS TO USE.

[2:38:18] IT'S THE MAYOR'S PREROGATIVE ON

[2:38:19] WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO PULL

[2:38:22] UP THE CONTACT IN THEIR ROLODEX

[2:38:25] TO BRING FORWARD A NAME OR WORK

[2:38:27] COLLABORATIVELY WITH CITY

[2:38:27] COUNCIL TO IDENTIFY A NAME.

[2:38:29] EITHER WAY, IT'S THE MAYOR'S

[2:38:31] PREROGATIVE TO BRING A NAME

[2:38:32] FORWARD. AND THEN IT'S THE

[2:38:33] COUNCIL'S PREROGATIVE TO EITHER

[2:38:35] ACCEPT OR DENY THAT NAME. AND

[2:38:39] IF A DENIAL DOESN'T COUNT WHEN

[2:38:42] IT GETS VETOED, IT ALMOST FEELS

[2:38:44] LIKE THAT THERE'S NO REASON FOR

[2:38:45] THE PROVISION. AND IF DELETING

[2:38:47] FROM THE AGENDA DOE'T COUNT,

[2:38:49] THEN IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.

[2:38:51] SO I WANT US TO ACTUALLY LIVE BY

[2:38:53] THE SPIRIT OF THE CHARTER

[2:38:55] PROVISION OF THREE ATTEMPTS BY

[2:38:58] RECORDING THIS AS ATTEMPT NUMBER

[2:39:01] ONE THROUGH A FORMAL DENIAL.

[2:39:03] AND I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL

[2:39:05] MEMBER VETAW.

[2:39:06] >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.

[2:39:09] » THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.

[2:39:09] I'MO CONFUSED ABOUT -- HA,

[2:39:12] ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.

[2:39:13] BECAUSE IT SMS LIKE THERE'S,

[2:39:15] LIKE, FOUR DIFFERENT THINGS

[2:39:16] GOING ON. SO ONE WOULD BE TO

[2:39:21] JUST DENY THIS AND MOVE ON. THE

[2:39:28] OTHER IS, WE'RE MAKING THE MAYOR

[2:39:31] SIGN OFF ON THE FACT THIS HE

[2:39:34] NOMINATED O'HARA AND IT DIDN'T

[2:39:37] GO THROUGH. LIKE, THAT'S

[2:39:39] ANOTHER PORTION OF THIS. LIKE,

[2:39:40] OR HE HAS TO VETO A NOMINATION

[2:39:42] FOR SOMEONE THAT'S NOT EVEN HERE

[2:39:45] ANYMORE. LIKE, THAT'S THE PART

[2:39:46] I'M STUCK AT. AND THEN THE

[2:39:48] OTHER TWO PIECES ARE THIS 30-DAY

[2:39:51] THING. DON'T WE HAVE AN

[2:39:53] OPPORTUNITY TO DO A NATIONAL

[2:39:55] SEARCH? AND THAT COULD TAKE 60

[2:39:58] DAYS. I MEAN, WE DON'T KNOW HOW

[2:39:59] LONG A NATIONAL SEARCH CLD

[2:40:01] TAKE. SO, LIKE, IS THE ACTION

[2:40:04] WE'RE TAKING TODAY TAKING THAT

[2:40:05] OFF THE TABLE? OR IS THAT STILL

[2:40:41] PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE

[2:40:43] CONFUSING PIECES OF THE CHARTER.

[2:40:45] I'LL TELL YOU. BUT THE WAY

[2:40:46] THAT THE CHARTER WORKS IS, ONCE

[2:40:49] THERE'S A VACANCY, FOR THE

[2:40:54] POLICE CHIEF, DURING A 30-DAY

[2:40:56] PERIOD, IF T MAYOR DOESN'T

[2:40:57] MAKE A NOMINATION, OR IF THE

[2:41:03] MAYOR HAS ALREADY HAD THREE

[2:41:06] NOMINEES REJECTED. LIKE LEGALLY

[2:41:08] AND COMPLETELY REJECTED DURING

[2:41:11] THAT 30-DAY TIME PERIOD, IT

[2:41:14] TRIGGERS, AGAIN, AN OPPORTUNITY

[2:41:17] FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, BY A

[2:41:20] MAJORITY VOTE OF ALL THE

[2:41:21] MEMBERS, TO DECIDE, HEY, WE'RE

[2:41:22] GOING TO PUT FORWARD THREE OR

[2:41:26] MORE CANDIDATES FROM WHICH THE

[2:41:28] MAYOR HAS TO CHOOSE..

[2:41:32] >> GOT IT. OKAY. COLLEAGUES, I

[2:41:34] » GOT IT. OKAY. COLLEAGUES, I

[2:41:34] REALLY HOPE THAT W CAN JUST GO

[2:41:35] BACK TO THE PROCESS THAT THE

[2:41:38] COMMUNITY IS FAMILIAR WITH AND

[2:41:40] WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH. AND I --

[2:41:43] AL

[2:41:47] YOR ON THIS. I TOTALLYITH THE

[2:41:49] UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION

[2:41:51] AROUND FINDING OUT WHO'S

[2:41:52] NOMINATED IN THE NEWS AND NOT

[2:41:54] HAVING CONVERSATIONS BEFORE TT

[2:41:56] HAPPENED. I'M REALLY HOPING

[2:41:58] THAT ALL OF US ARE GOING TO WORK

[2:41:59] TOGETHER. I KNOW THAT THE MAYOR

[2:42:01] HAS ASKED MYSELF AND COUNCIL

[2:42:03] MEMBER OSMAN TO SIT ON THE

[2:42:05] COMMITTEE TO HELP RECRUIT A NEW

[2:42:08] POLICE CHIEF AND TO BE A PART

[2:42:10] OF THAT PROCESS. WE'VE BOTH

[2:42:13] AGREED TO DO THAT. I THINK ALL

[2:42:16] MY COLLEAGUES KNOW, PREVIOUSLY

[2:42:19] WHEN I WAS A PART OF THAT, NOT

[2:42:20] ONLY DID I ENGAGE EVERY SINGLE

[2:42:22] ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES, BUT THE

[2:42:24] COMMUNITY IN THE BEST WAY I

[2:42:25] COULD. IAD LISTENING SESSIONS

[2:42:27] THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF

[2:42:28] MINNEAPOLIS TO HEAR FROM

[2:42:30] COMMUNITY. SO, I HOPE THAT WE

[2:42:33] CAN GO TO THE PROCESS WHERE

[2:42:36] COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S

[2:42:36] GOING ON. COMMUNITY HAS TIME TO

[2:42:39] UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.

[2:42:41] AND, TO ME, THAT'S DOING A

[2:42:42] SEARCH. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT

[2:42:43] HAS TO BE A NATIONAL SEARCH.

[2:42:45] BUT HAVING A PROCESS WHERE

[2:42:47] THERE'S A COMMITTEE OF FOLKS WHO

[2:42:49] ARE REVIEWING WHA THE CITY

[2:42:52] WANTS IN THE NEXT CHIEF. AND

[2:42:54] THE MAYORS WORKING WITH US TO

[2:42:57] NOMINATE THE RIGHT CANDATE.

[2:42:59] AND THAT THERE'S A PROCESS WHERE

[2:43:01] WE GET TO INTERVIEW THIS PERSON

[2:43:03] WHO NOMINATED. I'M CERTAINLY

[2:43:04] HOPING THAT W DON'T HAVE TO GET

[2:43:07] TO THREE FAILED NOMINATIONS

[2:43:08] BEFO WE HAVE A DECISION. SO I

[2:43:10] REALLY DO HOPE WE CAN STICK TO

[2:43:12] THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE FAMILIAR

[2:43:14] WITH. AND MAKE COMMUNITY A BIG

[2:43:16] PART OF THIS. AS THEY HAVE BEEN

[2:54:08] CHAPTER 342 REGULATING OPERATION

[2:54:13] NOTICE IS HEREY GIVEN AND NO

[2:54:15] FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED AT

[2:54:16] THIS TIME. COUNCIL MEMBER

[2:54:18] WONSLEY HAS AELATED ITEM IN

[2:54:19] FRONT OF US. SO I WILL CALL ON

[2:54:21] HER TO INTRODUCE THAT ITEM AND

[2:54:22] MR

[2:54:24] WONSLEY.

[2:54:25] >> YES. THANK YOU PRE,

[2:54:28] » YES. THANK YOU PRE,

[2:54:28] PRESIDENT PAYNE. I WANT TOP

[2:54:29] SHARE TO SHARE.

[2:54:34] HAVE SEEN WAYMO CARS ON THE

[2:54:37] STREET MAPPING IN MINNEAPOLIS.

[2:54:43] HOPING TO LAUNCH AS SOON AS THIS

[2:54:43] FALL. THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS

[2:54:45] THAT COME UP WHEN WE THINK ABOUT

[2:54:47] AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. FIRSTND

[2:54:49] FOREMOST, ONE THAT IS REALLY

[2:54:51] IMPORTANT IS WHAT IS GOING TO

[2:54:53] HAPPEN TO WORKERS ON WHO RELY ON

[2:54:55] DRIVING RIDE SHARE FOR INCOME TO

[2:54:56] SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES.

[2:54:58] AUTOMATION THREAT IS TO DISPLACE

[2:55:00] THE WORKERS AND PUSH THOUSANDS

[2:55:01] OF WORKING FAMILIES INTO

[2:55:02] POVERTY. A FEW YEARS AGO, THE

[2:55:04] MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL TOOKN

[2:55:06] EUBER AND LYFT, WE BELIEVED THAT

[2:55:08] MINNEAPOLIS DRIVERS TOLD HAVE

[2:55:09] BEEN EARNING AND SHOULD EARN

[2:55:11] MINIMUM WAGE EQUIVALENT WHEN

[2:55:13] WORKING FOR MULTIBILLIO THAT

[2:55:15] ARE SILICON VALLEY COMPANIES.

[2:55:16] THE SAME DRIVERS, MANY OF WHOM

[2:55:18] ARE WORKE OF COLOR, MEMBERS OF

[2:55:20] COMMUNITIES TARGETED BY

[2:55:21] OPERATION METRO SURGE, ARE

[2:55:23] ASKING THE MINNEAPOLIS CITY

[2:55:24] COUNCIL TO PROTECT THEM FROM

[2:55:25] LOSING THEIR INCOME ALL

[2:55:26] TOGETHER. BECAUSE TECH

[2:55:29] BILLIONAIRES WANT TOP AUTOMATE

[2:55:30] THEIR JOBS. AS LOCAL

[2:55:33] LEGISLATORS OUR JOB IS TO

[2:55:35] PROTEC VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES

[2:55:36] TO BUILD A PRO-WORKER ECONOMY

[2:55:38] WHERE EVERYONE CAN THRIVE. AND

[2:55:39] THERE SO MANY, AGAIN,

[2:55:40] OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW

[2:55:42] AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES MIGHT IMPACT

[2:55:43] NOT JUST OUR WORKERS, UMM, BUT,

[2:55:46] ALSO INFRASTRUCTURE. OUR PUBLIC

[2:55:50] E

[2:55:50] AND CLIMATE EQUITY GOALS. AND

[2:55:52] LOCA GOVERNMENT DOESN'T NEED TO

[2:55:53] BE PASSIVE AND ASSUME THESE

[2:55:54] IMPACTS ARE INEVITABLE. WE HAVE

[2:55:57] THE RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK WITH

[2:55:58] OUR COMMUNITY AND CITY STAFF AND

[2:56:00] EACH OTHER TO PASS RESPONSIBLE

[2:56:02] REGULATION THAT CREATES A CITY

[2:56:03] WHERE WORKERS AND RESIDENTS COME

[2:56:05] BEFORE CORPORATE PROFITS. AND

[2:56:07] THAT'S WHY MYSELF, VICE

[2:56:08] PRESIDENT OSMAN, AND COUNCIL

[2:56:10] MEMBER CHAVEZ AND CHOWDHURY

[2:56:12] BRINGING FORWARD THE NOTICE AND

[2:56:13] STAFF DIRECTIVE. PECIFICALLY

[2:56:14] TO THE NOTICE, UMM, IT'S RELATED

[2:56:16] TO BUSINESS LICENSING FOR

[2:56:18] AUTOMATED VEHICLES FOR

[2:56:20] COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. AND WE ALL

[2:56:21] KNOW THAT THIS IS JT THE FIRST

[2:56:23] STEP OF THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

[2:56:24] AND THAT IS WHY THERE'S NOT

[2:56:26] SPIFIC POLICY LANGUAGE

[2:56:27] INCLUDED. THAT IS WHY WE'RE

[2:56:28] ALSO BRINGING FORWARD A STAFF

[2:56:30] DIRECTIVE, WHICH YOU ALL HAVE

[3:00:30] LAID OUT TIMELINE WITHIN THE

[3:00:32] LIMS FILE THAT HAS DIFFERENT

[3:00:34] STOPS IN WHICH THE CITY OF

[3:00:35] MINNEAPOLIS WILL TOUCH ON THIS.

[3:00:36] THE FIRST WILL BE, I BELIEVE, IN

[3:00:39] JULY. AT THE COMMITTEE OF THE

[3:00:41] WHOLE. AT THE PLANNING

[3:00:42] MMISSION. AND THEN IT WILL

[3:00:43] OPEN UP THE 60-DAY COMMENT

[3:00:45] PERIOD FOR THE PUBLIC. AND THEN

[3:00:48] G

[3:00:48] AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION. IN

[3:00:52] BETWEEN THAT WORK AND COMING TO

[3:00:53] COUNCIL, WE'LL HAVE

[3:00:55] OPPORTITIES FOR OUR CPED TEAM

[3:00:58] AND OUR, UMM, LEGISLATIVE

[3:00:59] RESEARCH TEAM TO REALLY EDUCATE

[3:01:01] US AS COUNCIL MEMBERS. WITH THE

[3:01:04] EA OF LEARNING LABS. WE,

[3:01:06] OBVIOUSLY, HAVE THE STAFF

[3:01:07] DIRECTIVE THAT'S GOING TO COME.

[3:01:09] AND THEY'VE AGREED CPED AND

[3:01:12] WORK TOGETHER COLLABORATIVELY ON

[3:01:13] THIS. AS WE WORK TO EDUCATE

[3:01:15] OURSELVES ON THIS ISSUE.

[3:01:16] BECAUSE DATA CENTERS, I DON'T

[3:01:18] THINK ANY OF US CAN SAY WE'RE

[3:01:20] EXPERTS. THERE'S A LOT OF

[3:01:21] LEARNING CURVE. BUT IT'S ALSO

[3:01:24] IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE

[3:01:25] THE PUBLIC AND BUILD OUT A

[3:01:27] STRONG REGULATORY FRAMEWORK THAT

[3:01:30] IS RIGHT FIT FOR OUR CITY AND

[3:01:32] PUTS THE PUBLIC' INTEREST IN THE

[3:01:34] CENTER. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO

[3:01:35] THAT. I BELIEVE, ALSO, JUST SO

[3:01:37] PEOPLE CAN PUT IT AS THEIR,

[3:01:39] LIKE, NORTH STAR WHEN WE TAKE

[3:01:40] THE FINAL VOTE. IT'S LISTED IN

[3:01:42] THE TIMELINE. WE'RE AIMING FOR

[3:01:45] NOVEMBER 12th, I BELIEVE.

[3:01:47] SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER. CORRECT

[3:01:51] ME IF I'M WRONG. BUT IT'S ALL

[3:02:36] COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO WAS

[3:02:38] ENGAGED IN THAT PROCESS OF

[3:02:42] HAPPENING JUNE 23rd, I. THAT IS

[3:02:43] BELIEVE. CPED ANDRO STAFF IS

[3:02:47] GETTING THEIR OWN PRIVATE TOUR

[3:02:48] OF SLEEP NUMBER. I'M EXCITED

[3:02:50] ABOUT THE WK MOVING FORWARD.

[3:02:51] IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR

[3:02:54] CITY TO RESET SOME OF THE

[3:02:56] COMMERCIAL EVALUATIONS IN OUR

[3:02:58] DOWNTOWN CORE. WHEN WE SAW THE

[3:03:00] CHANGE EVALUATION ON SLEEP

[3:03:01] NUMBER, IT IS SOBERING. TO

[3:03:03] THINK OF WHAT IMPACT THAT COULD

[3:03:06] HAVE ON SOME OF OUR RESIDENTIAL

[3:03:09] MARKET RELIEVING SOME OF THAT

[3:03:11] PROPERTY BURDEN OR TAX STRESS.

[3:03:13] SO THANK YOU. WE'RE LOOKING
