NOTES.  THANK YOU, KEN. >> THANK YOU.  I'D LIKE TO EXTEND GREETINGS FROM MY COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT SERVE ON THE MINNEAPOLIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PPLE WITH DISABILITIES.  AND I'M REALLY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT AS OF LAST

10
00:02:55.050 --> 00:03:12.950
YEAR WITH THE REDESIGN OF CITY ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, WE, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A VERY, VERY, VERY LONG TIME HAD FULL MEMBERSHIP WITH A MEMBER REPRESENTING EACH OF OUR SEATS. WE EXPECT THE SAME THING TO

11
00:03:12.950 --> 00:03:30.250
CONTINUE THIS YEAR.  SO TT'S NOT DONE ALONE.  THAT WAS DONE BY EVERYONE, AND ESPECIALLYCOUNE TO THE IMPORTANT WORK.  I WANT TO JUST SAY JUST A COUPLE OF WORDS ABOUT PEOPLE THAT LIVE

12
00:03:30.250 --> 00:03:48.883
WITH DISABILITIES AND THE VALUE THEY BRING.  I DON'T NEED TO SHARE -- YOU GUYS ALL KNO THAT. BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE RECOGNIZE AND UPHOLD OUR VALUES IN WAYS THAT GO BEYOND JUST OUR DAILY WORK.  AND WHAT

13
00:03:48.883 --> 00:04:05.950
WE EACH REPRESENT INDIVIDUALLY. RESOLUTION SOUNDS REALLY SIMPLE, RIGHT.  WORDS GET MADE, PUT ON PAPER, AND THEY'RE NICE WORDS. BUT THE IMPORTANCE IS WHAT THOSE WORDS MEAN.  AND IT CODIFIES

14
00:04:05.950 --> 00:04:24.516
WHAT WE BELIEVES A CITY AND AS AN ENTITY, A MUNICIPALITY THAT REPRENTS CITIZENS OF ALL STRIPES AND SIZES AND CONDITIONS. AND FOR MY, MANY, MANY YEARS, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WERE

15
00:04:24.516 --> 00:04:41.150
NOT VISIBLE.  WE WERE KEPT SEPARATE.  WE WERE KEPT BEHIND THE SCENES.  IT WAS SHAMEFUL. THERE WAS A LOT OF NEGATIVITY ATTACHED TO LIVING WITH A DISABILITY.  ESPECIALLY A

16
00:04:41.150 --> 00:04:57.816
VISIBLE DISABILITY.  BUT LIFE HAS CHANGED.  AND WE HAVE E EDGER MANIED -- EMERGED AS OUR RIGHTS HAVE BEEN RESTORED AND FOCUSED ON TO MAKE LIFE AS EQUAL AS POSSIBLE FOR EVERYBODY. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE ARE INDEPENDENT TODAY.  WE'RE OUT

17
00:04:57.816 --> 00:05:13.916
AND ABOUT.  I DOUBT YOU GO THROUGH UR DAY WITHOUT SEEING SOMEBODY WITH A DISABILITY IN THE COMMUNITY JUST IN YOUR DAILY WORK.  WE'RE VISIBLE, WE'RE PROUD, AND THIS RESOLUTION PUTS ALL OF THAT TOGETHER AND ADDS

18
00:05:13.916 --> 00:05:30.483
THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND THE MAYOR'S VALUE OF WHAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BRING TO ALL OFUR WORK.  IT MAKES OUR CITY BETTER. IT MAKES US BETTER AS HUMAN BEINGS.  AND I'M SO PROUD TO BE REPRESENTING THE MINNEAPOLIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PEOPLE

19
00:05:30.483 --> 00:05:47.716
WITH DISABILITIES, WHICH, BY THE WAY, CELEBRATES ITS 50th YEAR OF EXISTENCE!  AS MAYOR FREY SHARED LAST NIGHT AT OUR COUNCIL MEETING, WE'RE PROBABLY ONE OF THE OLDEST AND LONGEST-STANDING DISABILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES

20
00:05:47.716 --> 00:06:05.283
IN A MUNICIPALITY IN THE U.S. THIS IS 50 YEARS OF ACCUMULATED WORK!  SO I THANK YOU.  WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE.  WE CAN'T MAKE ANYBODY DO ANYTHING.  WE'RE HERE TO ADVISE, AND THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WITH

21
00:06:05.283 --> 00:06:21.983
LIVED EXPERIENCE OF DISABILITY TO HELP US ALL BE A BETTER CITY AND A BETTER COUNCIL AND BETTER SERVE OUR CITIZENS.  I APPRECIATE BEING HERE AND YOUR WORK AND I WANT TO LIFT THAT UP. THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ]

59
00:17:12.450 --> 00:17:27.783
OUTLINE THAT.  WHILE HISTORIC P PRESERVATION IS IMPORTANT TO ME, AND IT SHOULD BE TO EVERYONE.  THIS IS A MARGINAL NOMINATION OF A PROPERTY THAT'S NOT REMOTELY UNIQUE.  IT HAPPENS TO BE LOCATED, ALSO, IN A TRANSIT CORRIDOR SURROUNDED BY

60
00:17:27.783 --> 00:17:44.483
MORE DENSE MULTIUNIT HOUSING. THIS AREA IS GROWING FAST.  AND WHILE THE CURRENT OWNER SAYS THEY HAVE NO PLANS CURRENTLY TO REDEVELOP THE PROPERTY, GRANTING THIS DESIGNATION WOULD FOREVER FORCLOSE THE POSSIBILITY IN AN

61
00:17:44.483 --> 00:18:03.250
AREA RAPIDLY GROWING TWO BLOCKS FROM THE SOUTHWEST LIGHT RAIL, AND IS ONE OF THE CITY'S BRIGHT HOUSING SPOTS.  OUT OF SEVEN SIGNIFICANT CRITERIA, ONLY ONE WAS FOUND IN THE STAFF REPORT IN LIMS.  REPORTEDLY EMBODIES THE

62
00:18:03.250 --> 00:18:19.250
SPANISH STYLE OF THE EARLY 20th CENTURY.  NOTHING OF HISTORICAL NOTE HAPPENED HERE. AND IT'S NOT A UNIQUE RESOURCE. THE STAFF REPORT ALONE DOCUMENTS 17 OTHER PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY BY THE SAME ARCHITECT,

63
00:18:19.250 --> 00:18:36.483
C.J. BART IN THE SAME STYLE, FROM THE EXACT SAME PERIOD, 1930s.  IT'S NOT A UNIQUE RESOURCE.  THE PROBLEM WITH THIS NOMINATION IS THAT IN ORDER TO, QUOTE, EMBODY THE STYLE, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BE SIMPLY ONE OF AN EXAMPLE.  BUT EMBODIMENT

64
00:18:36.483 --> 00:18:52.583
MEANS IT SHOULD BE A VERY GOOD TO EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE.  A REVIEW OF THE QUICK REVIEW OF THE STAFF REPORT HERE SHOWS THAT IT'S NOT THE CASE.  LOOK AT THE MOORISH MANSION, FOR EXAMPLE. THIS IS AN AVERAGE TO BELOW

65
00:18:52.583 --> 00:19:08.016
BUILDING ON THE DOCKET HERE TODAY IN ENVIRONMENT WHERE MANY OTHER BETTER CANDIDATES EXIST. IF THERE'S TRULY A NEED TO PRESERVE AN EXAMPLE OF SPANISH ECLECTIC, WE SHOULD FIND THE BEST EXAMPLE WE CAN SET AND FIND THAT SETS THE STANDARD OR

66
00:19:08.016 --> 00:19:25.250
EMBODIES THIS PARTICULAR STYLE. THIS ISN'T IT.  ANOTHER IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS PROPERTY AND THE OTHER DOZEN HALF OF C.J. BARTS APARTMENTS, THOSE OTHER PROPERTIES ARE LARGELY LOCATED IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.  THAT ARE NOT ON MAJOR TRANSIT ROUTES AND

67
00:19:25.250 --> 00:19:40.750
AREN'T GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.  WHILE THE AREA SURROUNDING THESE PROPERTIES LOOK LARGELY LIKE THEY DID IN THE 1930s, THE LAKE SHORE ARMS DOES NOT.  IT IS BOUNDED BY LAKE POINT CONDOS TO THE EAST, ROUGHLY 20 TO 25 STORIES.  AND SEVERAL MID RISE APARTMENT

68
00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:56.450
BUILDINGS FIVE OR SIX STORIES TO THE WEST.  IT'S ON A MAJOR TRANSIT ROUTE ALREADY, AND DESIGNATING HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE TO THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING WILL PERMANENTLY FORECLOSURE THE PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT DESIGNATED FOR THE

69
00:19:56.450 --> 00:20:13.883
AREA UNDER THE 2040 PLAN. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE URGE TO PRESERVE OUR HISTORY, THIS PARTICULAR NOMINATION CREATES MORE PROBLEMS THAN IT SOLVES. THESE APARTMENTS, IN THIS STYLE, ARE ABUNDANT.  THIS ISN'T CLOSE TO THE BEST EXAMPLE.  AND IT'S

70
00:20:13.883 --> 00:20:29.683
SETTING ON LAKE STREET HAS CHANGED.  AND MODERNIZED DRASTICALLY IN THE INTERVENING 90 YEARS.  AND THIS CAN BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.  IF WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE FEEL OF SPANISH ECLECTIC IN THE 1930s, THERE ARE BETTER PLACES TO DO IT IN

71
00:20:29.683 --> 00:20:45.883
THE CITY THAN HERE.  I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST MY COLLEAGUES JOIN WITH ME TO DENY THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION FOR THE WARD 7 PROPERTY. >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON.

72
00:20:45.883 --> 00:21:02.850
>> YES.  THANK YOU.  I SPOKE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER YESTERDAY AND ASKED THIS.  I WANT TO THE ASK AGAIN.  IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD DELAY THIS AND HAVE STAFF THINK ABOUT IT MORE?  I THINK THAT YOU TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A STRONG CASE.  AND

73
00:21:02.850 --> 00:21:20.550
THAT YOU THINK STAFF IS SOMEWHAT BEHIND IT.  AND SO I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTINGTAFF AND SUPPORTING YOU AT THE SAME TIME.  SO I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. >> NO.  WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THIS FORWARD TODAY.  JUST BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT I'VE ALREADY PUT INTO THIS AND WRITING THE FACT

74
00:21:20.550 --> 00:21:35.783
FINDING AND WORKING WITH STAFF BEHIND THE SCENES.  AND BRINGING FORWARD THE ARGUMENTS WE FEEL ARE MOST PERTINENT TO THE DECISION. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> AH, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.  IS STAFF HERE TO ANSWER

75
00:21:35.783 --> 00:21:55.883
A FEW QUESTIONS?  SO WHAT WAS -- CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH THE ORIGINAL ITEM, WHICH IS BUSINESS ITEM NUMBER 17.  THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD TO COUNCIL.  AND WHAT WAS STAFF RECOMMENDATION. >> PRESIDENT PAYNE, MEMBERS OF

76
00:21:55.883 --> 00:22:14.316
THE COUNCIL.  MY NAME IS ERIK HANSEN, DIRECTOR OF CPED.  AND I JUST WALKED IN.  SO I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT ITEM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.  I THINK IT'S THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION OF THE BUILDING ON LAKE STREET. >> YES. >> OKAY.  ALL RIGHT. IF IT WOULD -- IF I COULD GET

77
00:22:14.316 --> 00:22:31.850
SOME ASSISTANCE FROM PRESIDENT PAYNE.  COULD WE DELAY THIS AND I CAN GET STAFF FROM -- OH. THERE WE GO.  I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET HIM. [ LAUGHTER ] ALL RIGHT.  ROB. >> ROB. >> WELCOME!  I YOU CAN INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

78
00:22:31.850 --> 00:22:48.016
>> DEFER TO ROB FOR THE INFORMATION. >> THANK YOU, ERIK HANSEN. CTHANK YOU.  I BELIEVECOUNCIL MA QUESTION.  COULD YOU REPEAT IT. >> YEAH.  WHAT IS ITEM NUMBER 17.  SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS. WHAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF?  AND IF YOU CAN START BY

79
00:22:48.016 --> 00:23:02.783
INTRODUCING YOURSELF. >> SURE.  ROB SKILL LEK I CAN IN PLANNING.  THE ITEM THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING TODAY IS THE LANDMARK DESIGNATION OF LAKE SHORE ARMS APARTMENTS LOCATED AT 3026 LAKE STREET WEST.

80
00:23:02.783 --> 00:23:19.216
CONSIDERED BY THE MINNEAPOLIS HPC AT THEIR MEETING IN JUNE. AND THIS WENT IN FRONT OF BUSINESS, HOUSING, AND ZONING COMMITTE AT THE LAST MEETING. STAFF RECOMMENDING APPROVAL BASED ON A STUDY CONDUCTED OVER THE PAST YEAR FOLLOWING THE BUILDINGS NOMINATION BACK IN

81
00:23:19.216 --> 00:23:36.550
AUGUST OF LAST YEAR. SO CITY STAFF RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL AT A BUSINESS, HOUSING, ZONING COMMITTEE AND FORWARDED WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.  SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.  THIS IS, AGAIN, CONSIDERING THE LANDMARK

82
00:23:36.550 --> 00:23:54.883
DESIGNATION OF LAKE SHORE ARMS APARTMENTS. >> THA YOU.  YEAH.  I HAD A QUESTION.  BECAUSE THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING.  AND THE BUSINESS, HOUSING, AND ZONING COMMITTEE.  IT'S PART OF WHY I'M UNDECIDED ON WHAT TO DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.  I THINK STAFF HAS DONE THEIR WORK.  HAS

83
00:23:54.883 --> 00:24:12.050
DONE THEIR OWN FINDINGS.  AND THEN THE OTHER COMPONENT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE VARIETY OF OTHER BUILDINGS THAT COULD BE DESIGNATED FOR HERITAGE PRESERVATION IN THE FUTURE.  AND WHAT IMPACT THAT WOULD HAVE, IF WE WERE TO THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OTHER BUILDINGS.  AND

84
00:24:12.050 --> 00:24:29.750
WHAT IT WOULD DO TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING ACROSS THE CITY.  HOWEVER, THAT -- THOSE ARE CASE-BY-CASE SCENARIOS.  SO THAT IS NOT A DECISION WE HAVE TO DO, UMM, BUT I THINK THAT -- I DON'T KNOW IF I'M READY TO SUPPORT THE MOTION

85
00:24:29.750 --> 00:24:46.450
BROUGHT FORWARD BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER TODAY BECAUSE I NEED TO HAVE MORE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF ME.  GIVEN THAT STAFF HAS A DIFFERENT POSITION ON THIS.  SO I WOULD APPRECIATE A DELAY SO I CAN COULD HAVE MORE TIME.  BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE MORE TIME, THEN I GUESS I HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION BY WHAT I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME.

86
00:24:46.450 --> 00:25:04.400
>> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> HEY, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.  I THINK IT WAS WISE FOR US TO FORWARD THISITHOUT RECOMMENDATION TO THE COMMITTEE. I THINK ONE THING, AND JUST MY OBSERVATION, AS WE TAKE UP HISTORIC PRESERVATION ITEMS.  IS

87
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:20.633
THIS COUNCIL NEEDS TO DEVELOP ITS ABILITY TO DISCERN THESE ITEMS WHEN THEY'RE BEFORE US. THAT'S NOT TO CAST BLAME ON ANY OF US.  IT'S A VERY WONKY TYPE OF ITEM.  AND I THINK IT'S A SKILL SET THAT WE NEED TO GROW IN THE WAY WE HAVE NEEDED TO

88
00:25:20.633 --> 00:25:37.200
GROW ON OUR QUASI JUDICIAL ITEMS. I HAD A QUESTION FOR MR. SKILL LEK I CAN.  THIS IS BASED IN OUR PROCESS.  THE WAY THAT WE'RE TAKING THIS EYE UP NOW WHERE IT'S COMING BEFORE US AS A CITY

89
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:55.033
COUNCIL AND WE'RE VOTING ON IT, IS THIS RELATED TO THE ORDINANCE CHANGE WE TOOK UP LAST TERM? >> COUNCIL MEMBER PRESIDENT PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY: THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO HOW HOW LANDMARKS WERE CONSIDERED.

90
00:25:55.033 --> 00:26:11.133
THERE'S TWO PARTS TO CONSIDERING THE NDMARK.  THE FIRST IS THE NOMINATION THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN ORDER TO ITIATE THE STUDY PROCESS.  THE SECOND IS THE DESIGNATION WHICH IS BEING CONSIDERED NOW.  IT COMES WITH THE RESOLUTION FORMALLY DESIGNATING A PROPERTY TO BECOME A LANDMARK.  THAT PROCESS HAS

91
00:26:11.133 --> 00:26:26.933
CHANGED IN SOME WAYS.  BUT THE WAY LANDMARKS IS DESIGNATED IS VERY SIMILAR TO HOW IT WAS UND THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE. >> IF IT WAS ANY -- ANY LANDMARK PRESERVATION ITEM IN THE FUTURE, OR THIS ONE, IF IT WERE TO MOVE

92
00:26:26.933 --> 00:26:43.300
THROUGH, HOW DOEST THEN GO TO THE HPC?  IS THERE A TIME IN WHICH IT GOES BEFORE THEM AND THEY BEGIN WORK.  I'M TRYING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT COMES OUT OF OUR VOTE HERE.  IF IT WAS AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE, CLEARLY, IF IT WAS A VOTE IN THE NEGATIVE, IT

93
00:26:43.300 --> 00:27:01.033
WOULD JUST HALT ALL TOGETHER. BUT THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW. >> SURE.  SO IF A LANDMARK IS APPROVED FOR DESIGNATION, THEN THAT IS ESSENTIALLY A DECISN THAT LASTS IN PERPETUITY.  ANY CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY WOULD COME FORWARD FOR STAFF REVIEW OR

94
00:27:01.033 --> 00:27:16.866
HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION REVIEW.  DEPENDING ON THE SCOPE OF WORK BEING PROPOSED.  WE WOULD REVIEW CHANGES TO MAKE SURE THEY MEET THE STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION.  WILL ARE USED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY TO EVALUATE CHANGES TO THE HISTORIC PROPERTIES. IF THE LANDMARK DESIGNATION IS DENIED AND THIS IS DIFFERENT

95
00:27:16.866 --> 00:27:34.100
FROM THE PR PREVIOU ORDINANCE.  THERE'S NO LANGUAGE TO GUIDE WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.  SO IF IT IS DENIED TODAY, OR IF A DECISION IS NOT MADE, THERE'S A POSSIBILI THAT IT COULD COME BACK IN THREE YEARS TO BE RECONSIDERED WITH

96
00:27:34.100 --> 00:27:50.233
ADDITIONAL INFORMAON. >> OKAY.  AND THEN HOW MANY LANDMARK DESIGNATIONS HAVE WE TAKEN IN THE LAST -- I'LL SAY, LIKE, TWO OR THREE YEARS. >> IT'S GENERALLY ABOUT ONE TO ONE AND A HALF A YEAR, ON AVERAGE. >> RIGHT. >> IF WE'RE DOING AVERAGES.  WE BRING FORWARD FOR LANDMARK PROPERTIES.

97
00:27:50.233 --> 00:28:06.033
>> YEAH.  THANK YOU.  I APPRECIATE IT.  I THINK THE PLACE WHERE I'M SITTING, AND I APPRECIATE COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER'S WORK ON THIS. ABSOLUTELY.  I'LL NOTE, I FEEL LIKE -- LET ME KNOW IF I MISS ANYTHING.  I DIDN'T GET ANY

98
00:28:06.033 --> 00:28:22.733
INFORMATION ON THE FINDINGS AHEAD OF TIME.  WHICH I THINK WOULD HAVE BEEN VALUABLE TO SIT WITH AHEAD OF THIS MEETING.  I DO THINK IT'S NOT ATYPICAL FOR US TO TAKE OUR TIME ON HISTORICD LANDMARK DESIGNATION

99
00:28:22.733 --> 00:28:40.633
DISCUSSIONS.  I THINK THE JOHN COOK HOUSE WAS A GRE EXAMPLE OF NEEDING TO TAKE TIME FOR DISCERNMENT.  THE THING THAT GIVES ME PAUSE IS NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE TIME WITH THE CURRENT FINDINGS, NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DIG IN WITH STAFF

100
00:28:40.633 --> 00:28:55.600
AND THE FACT THAT STAFF DID PUT THIS UP FOR AN APPROVAL UNDER ONE CRITERION, WHICH IS REQUIRED.  I'M NOT OPPOSED TO VOTING THIS DOWN.  AND I'M NOT OPPOD TO VOTING THIS UP.  BUT

101
00:28:55.600 --> 00:29:12.066
I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE HAVE THE PROPER DISCERNMENT ON THIS ITEM. IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO DELAY, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE -- ONE, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TAKING ON A VOTE ON THIS TODAY.  I THINK IT'S MY BOTTOM LINE.  AND I

102
00:29:12.066 --> 00:29:27.933
THINK BASED OFF THAT, I'LL HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION IF WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS.  BUT A DELAY, I THINK, WOULD BE APPRECIATED.  I DON'T THINK IT'S ATYPICAL FOR US TO TAKE OUR TIME ON THIS.  EVEN IF IT'S JUST ONE CYCLE.  I THINK WE GOT TO BRING UP -- BUILD OUR MUSCLE ON THIS TOPIC.  BECAUSE THERE ARE GOING

103
00:29:27.933 --> 00:29:45.566
TO BE MORE ITEMS LIKE THIS THAT COME BEFORE US.  AND THEN UNDER OUR ORDINANCE CHANGE, NOW COUNCIL MEMBERS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN BRING UP ITEMS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION DESIGNATION IN THE FUTURE.  AND THAT'S A NEW CHANGE THAT WE ALSO HAVE TO BETTER

104
00:29:45.566 --> 00:30:00.133
UNDERSTAND. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. I WANT TOP REMIND THE MEMBERS, COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE.  THIS WAS A PUBLIC HEARING.  WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO, OF COURSE, HEAR FROM THE STAFF AND, ALSO, HEAR

105
00:30:00.133 --> 00:30:18.000
FROM THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING. T ACTUALLY.  HAD A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION WHERE HE KIND OF COMPARED SIMILAR APARTMENTS OUT THERE IN OUR CITY.  SAME TYPE OF

106
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:34.600
APARTMENTS.  AND I THINK MAYBE ALL OF THEM WERE NOT DESIGNATED AND EXPLAINED TO US THE UNIQUENESSES OF THIS APARTMENT. AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT.  BUT I ALSO -- WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM HIM.  BOTH SIDES.  NOT

107
00:30:34.600 --> 00:30:50.400
JUST THE COMMISSION HERE.  BUT ALSO FROM THE OWNER OF THE APARTMENTS.  WE HAD A LENGTHY CONVERSATION.  I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF DELAYING.  WE DO HAVE THE STAFF TO ANSWER THE

108
00:30:50.400 --> 00:31:07.733
QUESTIONS.  AND WE ALSO HAVE THE DAIS HERE OF THE OWNER OF THE APARTMENT.  IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE ACTUALLY KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE ITEM.  WE CAN ASK AND I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE A DECISION AND KIND OF MOVE FORWARD FROM

109
00:31:07.733 --> 00:31:25.066
HERE.  THANK YOU. >> >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> OKAY.  I GUESS WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET MORE TIME TO GET STAFF TO MAYBE CHANGE THEIR MINDS ON THIS.  WHILE YOU'RE HERE, CAN I ASK YOU.  THERE'S A CASE THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UPABOUE

110
00:31:25.066 --> 00:31:41.033
BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS TE OF ARCHITECTURE.  DO YOU SEE VALIDITY IN THAT CASE?? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. STAFF, THE WAY THAT THE FINDING IS WRITTEN IS THAT A PROPERTY WOULD EMBODY THAT SPECIFIC STYLE

111
00:31:41.033 --> 00:31:58.933
OF ARCHITECTURE.  SO IT WE DO LOOK AT EVERY SGLE PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE THE AVAILABILITY TO LOOK AT AND THE STUDIES TO SEE WHAT THE COMPARISONS ARE.  AND DECIDING IF A PROPERTY MERITS LANDMARK STATUS FOR BEING CONSIDERED IN THIS SITUATION. AN EXAMPLE OF A STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE, THROUGH THE STAFF

112
00:31:58.933 --> 00:32:15.500
BELIEVED.  SO IT UNDERSTANDING COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER'S COMMENTS ON IT.  AND THERE IS THE ABILITY TO IN THE FINDINGS, TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ANY PUBLIC COMMENT RECEIVED.  AND WITH PUBLIC COMMENT THAT'S BEEN RECEIVED.  UNDERSTAND THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER DISAGREES

113
00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:32.733
WITH STAFF'S FINDINGS WITH THE ADDITIONAL RESEARCH PROVIDED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. >> OKAY.  I GUE WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IF THIS BUILDING WOULD GET DESTROYED, WOULD THE

114
00:32:32.733 --> 00:32:49.500
CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS BE LOSING SOMETHING SPECIAL OR OTHERS THAT ARE EQUAL OR BETTER IN THIS STYLE? >> COUNCIL MEMBER PRESIDENT PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. THERE'S -- IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO -- WE HAVE NO

115
00:32:49.500 --> 00:33:04.533
KNOWLEDGE OF IT BEING DESTROYED IN THE FUTURE.  OR PLANS TO BE DEMOLISHED.  AND WE LOOK AT PROPERTIES AS THEY EXIST AND AS IT EXISTS.  STAFF DID RECO RECOMMEND --

116
00:33:04.533 --> 00:33:23.500
>> OKAY.  THANK YOU.  IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM?  SEEING NONE.  I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL ON THE MOTION TO DENY HISTORICAL DESIGNATION. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CVEZ.

117
00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:39.833
>> CAN YOU -- >> YOU WANT T TO CLARIFY THE VOTE DESTRUCTION.  WHAT WAS STATED IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAVE LISTED. >> THE MOTION IN FRONT OF YOU IS WHAT WAS DISTRIBUTED BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER, MOVED AND SECONDED, DENYING THE LOCAL

118
00:33:39.833 --> 00:33:58.166
HISTORIC DESIGNATION FOR LAKE SHORE ARMS AND APARTMENTSES. APARTMENTS.>> THANK YOU.  AN AYD DENY? >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> I DON'T WANT TO -- I DON'T

119
00:33:58.166 --> 00:34:18.166
WANT TO DENY. [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] THIS IS SO CONFUSING.  I'M SORRY.  COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> OKAY. >> MICROPHONE. >> IF I DON'T WANT TO DENY THE PRESERVATION HERE, I NEED MORE

120
00:34:18.166 --> 00:34:37.933
TIME, OBVIOUSLY.  AM I AYE THEN? >> YOU WOULD BE A NAY. >> OKAY. >> IT'S JUST THE WHOLE THING. OKAY.  NO. >> OKAY. >> CLERK WILL CALL THE ROLL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CVEZ. >> NO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARRE >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> AYE.

121

WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED BY THAT COMMITTEE'S CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY.  AND BEFORE WE MOVE ON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR CONSENT ITEMS ON THE BUSINESS AGENDA?

123
00:35:13.333 --> 00:35:32.333
>> AYE ON CONSENT AND THEN WE DID NOT TAKE UP THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION -- >> WE JUST DID. >> I WOULD LIKE TO BE RECORDED AN AYE WAS AFFIRMATIVE IN SUPPORTING THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION OR NAY.  NAY. >> OKAY. >> CLERKS, DID YOU GET THAT?

124
00:35:32.333 --> 00:35:50.066
ALL RIGHT.  NOW I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY TO GIVE THE CLIMATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT. >> THANK YOU.  I'M GOING TO LAND IT OVER TO VICE CHAIR STEVENSON, C WHO CHAIRED THAT MEETING. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR.  THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.  THE CLIMATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE IS NINE

125
00:35:50.066 --> 00:36:06.166
BRINGING FORWARD NINE ITEMS. ONE CONSIDERING THE LYNDALE AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT. TWO RESOLUTION FOR A GIFT ACCEPTANCE.  THREE A RESOLUTION FOR GIFT ACCEPTANCE FOR BROOKINGS TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVE.  FOUR RESOLUTION FOR A GI ACCEPTANCE FOR MINNEAPOLIS FOUNDATION.  FIVE

126
00:36:06.166 --> 00:36:23.200
RESOLUTIONS FOR SUPPORT FOR THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HIGHWAY 280 PROJECT.  SIX LAND SALE WEDGE POINT PARK TO MINNEAPOLIS PARK AND RECREATION BOARD.  SEVEN AUTHORIZING GRANT APPLICATIONS TO MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF

127
00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:38.366
TRANSPORTATION.  FOR 2026 FEDERAL HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.  EIGHT ACCEPTING THE LOW BID FOR WEST RIVER ROAD PHASE II PROJECT. NINE APPROVING A LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE PROPOSED CLOSURE OF

128
00:36:38.366 --> 00:36:56.233
HENNEPIN ENERGY RECOVERY CENTER. I'LL MOVE APPROVAL THE REPORT CEPT FOR ONE. >> MOVED APPROVAL OF THE REPORT, MINUS ITEM NUMBER ONE.  IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE REMAINDER OF THE REPORT?  COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> YEAH.  I WANTED TO STOP A MOMENT AND PAUSE FOR THE LITTLE VICTORIES THAT WE ARE HELPING

129
00:36:56.233 --> 00:37:12.333
FOR THE PARK BOARD.  IN THE SELLING OF THE WEDGE POINT PARK PARCELS IN THE LOWRY HILL HISTORY NEIGHBORHOOD.  SOMETHING I'VE BEEN TRACKING FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.  I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK CITY STAFF FOR THEIR WORK IN SEEING THIS THROUGH TO COMPLETION.  AND I'M

130
00:37:12.333 --> 00:37:28.633
HAPPY FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.  AND I KNOW COUIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI WOULD SHARE THOSE SAME SENTIMENTS, IF SHE WERE HERE. THIS IS A WIN FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> SORRY.  I THINK I WAS TRYING TO GET IN FIRST IN LINE FOR THE

131
00:37:28.633 --> 00:37:46.033
DISCUSSION ON THE NEXT ITEM. >> GOT YOU.  SEEING NO ONE ELSE LEFT IN QUEUE, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL ON CLIMATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT MINUS ITEM ONE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> AYE.

132
00:37:46.033 --> 00:38:05.200
>> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING.

133
00:38:05.200 --> 00:38:23.433
>> AYE. >> PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE 12 AYES. >> THOSE ITEMS CARRY.  NEXT WE'LL TAKE UP ITEM NUMBER ONE, AND I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> THANK YOU.  I'M GOING TO MOVE

134
00:38:23.433 --> 00:38:40.833
TO AMEND THIS ITEM.  THE AMENDMENT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. IT'S C & I NUMBER ONE BY STEVENSON.  THESE AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN DONE IN CLOSE

135
00:38:40.833 --> 00:38:57.166
CONSIDERATION WITH DIRECTOR SEXTON, AND WARD 10 OFFICE AND WARD 7 OFFICE, COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER'S.  SO WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO TAKE ALL THESE VOICES

136
00:38:57.166 --> 00:39:12.566
INTO ACCOUNT.  AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS APPROVAL OF THE MUNICIPAL CONSENT GOES THROUGH SMOOTHLY.  AND IS TAKING EVERYONE'S VOICE INTO ACCOUNT.

137
00:39:12.566 --> 00:39:29.766
I'LL NOTE THAT AS FOLKS CAN SEE, LIVABLE LYNDALE IS HER  AND THEY HAVE DELIVERED TO US LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF POSTCARDS IN SUPPORT OF THIS PLAN., AND MORE IN TERMS OF SAFETY AND PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE AND BUS

138
00:39:29.766 --> 00:39:48.266
IMPROVEMENTS.  AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF FOLKS, MANYROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, WHO ARE AGAINST.  AND SO TO -- GIVEN THERE'S LARGE CONTESTATION OVER THIS ITEM, I THINK IT IS RIGHT THAT WE ARE

139
00:39:48.266 --> 00:40:04.200
STRIKING A COMPRISE.  THIS COMPRISE DOES NOT GET EVERYTHING THAT I WANT, BY ANY MEANS.  AND THIS COMPRISE DOES NOT GIVE OTHERS WHO MAY DISAGREE WITH ME EVERYTHING THEY WANT, BY ANY MEANS AT ALL.  WHAT IT DOES DO,

140
00:40:04.200 --> 00:40:21.433
THIS IS APPROVING OF A DESIGN AND THE WAY WE HAVE WRITTEN OUR RESOLUTION IS APPROVING A RESOLUTION THAT HAS REALLY TAKEN EVERYBODY'S VOICE INT ACCOUNT. WE HAVE LISTENED AND WE HAVE LISTENED AND WE HAVE LISTENED. AND GIVEN THAT THIS STREET IS

141
00:40:21.433 --> 00:40:38.266
OVER 90 YEARS OLD, IT'S TIME TO BE REBUILT.  AND THIS IS THE COMPRISE THAT IS THE RIGHT COMPRISE TO DO THAT. CONSTRUCTION IS TIFLT FOR BUSINESSES.  AND I BELIEVE WE'LL BE CONSIDERING ANOTHER AMENDMENT SOON TO HELP ALLEVIATE THAT SOMEWHAT.  I THINK THIS BODY AND MAYBE THE COUNTY AND STATE

142
00:40:38.266 --> 00:40:52.166
SHOULD CONSIDER DIFFERENT WAYS TO SUPPORT BUSINESSES THROUGH CONSTRUCTION. UT I WOULD ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO PLEASE APPROVE THIS.  BECAUSE THIS IS THE COMPROMISE I THINK IS RIGHT AND I THINK WORKS FOR EVERYBODY.

143
00:40:52.166 --> 00:41:09.233
AND I'M GOING TO QUICK READ MY AMENDMENTS.  AND I'M GOING TO READ ALL THE AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.  SOME OF THEM MINE SOME OF THEM NOT. SO, ONE, IS PRIORITIZE THE PRESERVATION OF EXISTING HEALTHY

144
00:41:09.233 --> 00:41:24.566
MATURE TREES ALONG LYNDALE AVENUE.  THE SECOND ONE IS WE ARE STRIKING WITH CONSENT FROM DIRECTOR SEXTON DESIGN MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROPOSED MEDIANS TO ENSURE DRIVEWAY ACCESS AND BUSINESS OPERATIONAL

145
00:41:24.566 --> 00:41:41.400
NEEDS.  THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE'S TALKED ABOUT THEY'RE GOING TO DO ANYWAYS.  TO MAKE SURE THAT DELIVERIES CAN HAPPEN IN A SAFE MATTER.  NUMBER THREE, WORK WITH CITY STAFF AND C CORRIDOR STAKEHOLDERS TO MINIMIZE DISRUPTION TO

146
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:58.066
BUSINESSES.  AND ENSURES ACCESS DURING CONSTRUCTION TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE.  AND THEN LASTLY, OR ALMOST LASTLY, PRIORITIZE SHORTENING THE ALTERNATE DURATION OF PROJECT MAY INCLUDE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTION WORK HOURS AS

147
00:41:58.066 --> 00:42:13.766
PERMITTED BY THE MINNEAPOLIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT.  AND THEN LATER, WHEREAS, THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS SUPPORTS THE COUNTY AND ACCESSING THE FEDERAL FUNDS FROM THE PROJECT AND TIMELINE THAT IS REQUIRED TO GET THE FUNDS.  SO I WILL MOVE THIS

148
00:42:13.766 --> 00:42:31.700
AMENDMENT FOR APPROVAL. >> SECOND. >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON HAS MOVED ATT ITEM ONE FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED.  WHILE WE CAN TAKE THE AMENDMENTS UP.  SO COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON HAS MOVED TO AMEND ITEM NUMBER ONE,

149
00:42:31.700 --> 00:42:47.466
THAT'S BEEN SECONDED.  AND I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. UMM, I'LL JUST SHARE MY THOUGHTS HERE.  FIRST OF ALL, NUMBER ONE, I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION AND PROBLEM SOLVING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING BOTH IN MY DIALOGUE WITH THE WARD 10 OFFICE AND COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON IN T

150
00:42:47.466 --> 00:43:03.066
LAST FEW DAYS. REALLY, THROWING OUT THE IDEA OF TRYING TO GET SOME LANGUAGE FOR EXTENDED HOURS, ACTUALLY, SPECIFIED IN SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS, WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN.  UMM, BUT I WANT TO SAY THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE BEEN

151
00:43:03.066 --> 00:43:20.100
GIVEN ON THIS TOPIC.  AND REALLY TRYING TO SEE AND RECOGNIZE THE EFFORT THAT PEOPLE ARE MAKING TO TRY TO BRIDGE THE DIVIDE.  THAT BEING SAID, I SIMPLY CANNOT SUPPORT THE PROPOSED DESIGN CONCEPT DUE TO THE IMPACT ON OUR SMALL BUSINESSES.  THE BUSINESS

152
00:43:20.100 --> 00:43:35.366
COMMUNITY HAS OPPOSED THE PLAN AT EVERY TURN FOR SPECIFIC AND GOOD REASONS.  WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF HENNEPIN AVENUE FRESH IN THEIR MINDS.  MY WARD 7 RESIDENTS OPPOSE IT FOR SOME OF THE SAME REASONS THEY OPPOSED HENNEPIN AVENUE.  THEY DIDN'T

153
00:43:35.366 --> 00:43:52.800
LIKE THE DESIGN THERE WHEN IT WAS FIRST PROPOSED.  AND DON'T LIKE THE REALITY NOW IT'S FINISHED.  AND THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE THE SAME MISTAKES HAPPEN ON LYNDALE.  WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS?  FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE, HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES: THERE'S BEEN NO

154
00:43:52.800 --> 00:44:10.200
MEANINGFUL SPECIFIC PROTECTIONS BUILT IN FOR THE LYNDALE BUSINESSES.  WHILE RUDIMENTARY PHYSICAL ACCESS WILL BE MAINTAINED, THERE'S NO MEANINGFUL FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE CUSTOMERS.  THAT PROVED

155
00:44:10.200 --> 00:44:25.866
DEVASTATING TO THE BUSINESSES ALONG HENNEPIN.  THERE'S EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THE DYNAMIC WILL REPEAT ITSELF ON LYNDALE. THIS ISN'T JUST FOR A WEEK OR A MONTH.  IT'S TWO TO THREE YEARS. WE CAN ANTICIPATE SOME OF THE BUSINESSES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST ON LYNDALE WILL NOT BE THERE

156
00:44:25.866 --> 00:44:43.100
WHEN THE PROJECT IS OVER. SECONDLY, AS THE CURRENT COUNCIL MEMBER REPRESENTATIVE ON THE MINNEAPOLIS TREE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, I STAND WITH THE COMMITTEE IN THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE PLAN DUE TO TREE REMOVAL CONCERNS.  I WAS A PARK EXHIBITIONER DURING THE ORIGINAL HENNEPIN AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION

157
00:44:43.100 --> 00:45:00.333
WHERE DESIGNS PLAN TO REMOVE APPROXIMATELY 120 PLUS TREES. AND WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY, EXPERT STAFF AT THE PARK BOARD, AND CITY AND COUNTY AND HELP SAVE APPROXIMATELY 60 MATURE TREES IN THE PROJECT. THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH PUBLIC

158
00:45:00.333 --> 00:45:17.100
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS DO THE CONTINUAL REMOVAL AND REPLANTING CYCLE IS REALLY PART OF THE PROBLEM THAT WE ARE FACING IN AGING OUR URBAN CANOPY AND CREATING A GREATER CARBON FOOTPRINT.  ONCE THIS PROJECT IS OVER, A DIFFERENT SET OF

159
00:45:17.100 --> 00:45:33.900
PROBLEMS WILL TAKE OVER.  AS WITH HENNEPIN, TRAVEL WILL BE LARGELY CONSTRAINED TO ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION WITH LEFT-HAND SIDE TURNS TIFLT TO IMPOSSIBLE. COMMERCIAL UNLOADING WILL BE IMPRACTICAL IN SOME LOCATIONS. PARKING WOULD BECOME MORE

160
00:45:33.900 --> 00:45:52.800
LIMITED.  AND PARKING LANES WOULD BECOME MORE NARROW REVERTING BACK TO THE 9 FEET WE HAD IN THE OLD FOUR-LANE CONFIGURATION.  WHICH ACTUALLY RESULTED IN THE THEY TYPICALITY THEY TFATALITY.

161
00:45:52.800 --> 00:46:08.533
IT WILL FACE CONTINUED HEAD WINDS FROM THE END PRODUCT. THIS CITY, IN THE BUDGET ENVIRONMENT CURRENTLY, CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE UP THE ECONOMIC DRIVERS THAT WE DO HAVE. LASTLY, THE COMPLETED HENNEPIN AVENUE HAS NOT RESULTED IN A

162
00:46:08.533 --> 00:46:25.200
RENAISSANCE YET FOR OUR AREA OR STREET.  MUCH THE CONTRARY.  WE STILL HAVE VACANT STORE FRONTS, SIDEWALKS AREN'T BUSY, TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP CREATING MUCH IDOLLING IN THE CORRIDOR, AND OUR OFFICE IS CURRENTLY HEARING REPORTS OF RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS EXPERIENCING

163
00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:42.566
GREATER TRAFFIC CONCERNS AS FOLKS ARE AVOIDING HENNEPIN COMING FROM THE WEST AND SOUTH AND FINDING ALTERNATIVE ROUTES OTHER THAN HENNEPIN AVENUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS AROUND LYNDALE ARE EVEN NARROWER THAN AROUND HENNEPIN. AND MAY EXPERIENCE THE SAME

164
00:46:42.566 --> 00:46:59.633
OUTCOME.  THIS WAS A SET OF PROBLEMS PREDICTED BY MANY BEFORE THE HENNEPIN REDO. PEOPLES' LIVED EXPERIENCE AFTER COMPLETION HAS BOURN IT OUT. AND I CAN'T SUPPORT THE STRATEGY OF MAKING THE SAME CHOICES AND HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT RESULT.

165
00:46:59.633 --> 00:47:16.600
THIS IS GOING TO BE HENNEPIN PART II.  MY CONSTITUENTS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY OPPOSED, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS OVERWHELMINGLY OPPOSED, AND I FEEL OBLIGATED TO SUPPORT THEM. WITH MY VOTE, GIVING THE CLEAR COMMUNITY PREFERENCE IN WARD SEVEN.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

166
00:47:16.600 --> 00:47:32.566
>> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >>MM, THANK YOU.  I WANT TO KNOW IF THE PUBLIC WORKS STAFF IS HERE TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS.  DON'T SEE THEM.  I,

167
00:47:32.566 --> 00:47:49.933
UMM, I THINK THE POINTS COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER MADE IS VERY VALID.  THE BUSINESSES DO STRUGGLE A LOT FOR CONSTRUCTIONS.  THEY ALREADY ARE DIFFICULT SURVIVING WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING.  THE COVID, YOU KNOW,

168
00:47:49.933 --> 00:48:07.466
THE I.C.E. SITUATION.  OH, I SEE THE DIRECTOR HERE.  WELCOME, SIR.  SO THE CHALLENGE IS THERE FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.  AND AS WE GOT TO HAVE A BETTER PLAN ADDRESSING THE BUSINESSES THAT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE ACTUALLY MIGHT NOT COME BACK ON

169
00:48:07.466 --> 00:48:24.200
WHERE THEY ARE HAVING BUSINESSES NOW.  WHICH IS LYNDALE.  SO THE PROJECT IS, UMM, HAS EF AFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESSES. THAT'S A FACT.  YES, THE ROAD IS OVER 70 YEARS OLD.  I THINK FOR HAVING A BETTER DESIGN, THIS IS

170
00:48:24.200 --> 00:48:40.366
BETTER FOR THE FUTURE AND FOR THE FUTURE FOR OUR CITY.  FOR SAFETY WISE, FOR -- IT'S GOOD TOKING A KNTO ACKNOWLEDGE WE CAN SAY NO TO THAT.  I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM PEOPLE,

171
00:48:40.366 --> 00:48:55.433
I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT A CITY PROJECT.  IT'S A COUNTY PROJECT.  SO MY QUESTION TO THE DIREC DIRECTER IS, IF WE VOTED DOWN ON THE PLAN. DOES IT MEAN THE PROJECT STOPS AND NO LONGER GOING TO CONTINUE? OR DOES IT JUST THE COUNTY WILL

172
00:48:55.433 --> 00:49:13.133
JUST CONTINUE WITH THEIR PLAN? >> YEAH.  THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT.  TIM SEXTON.  OUR CURRENT INTERPRETATION BASED ON THE CITY ATTORNEYS.  AND I'LL LOOK TO THEM, MAYBE, FIRST, IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND.  BUT I

173
00:49:13.133 --> 00:49:30.666
CAN SHARE MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL INTERPRETATION THUS FAR.  IF WE DO NOT APPROVE THI THE COUNTYANNOT PROCEED WITH THE WORK.  THEY DO NEED OUR PERMISSION TO DO THE WORK WITHIN THE CITY. >> MADAM CITY ATTORNEY? >> THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, AS

174
00:49:30.666 --> 00:49:46.266
WELL. >> OKAY. >> I ASKED THE QUESTION BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE WHOLE BLUE LINE SITUATION.  THEY ALSO CAME FOR THE TRAIN.  THE CONSENT AND WHAT I HEARD BACK THEN WAS IF WE VOTED DOWN, THEY STILL

175
00:49:46.266 --> 00:50:01.866
WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE TRAIN MOVE FORWARD.  SO IT'S DIFFERENT.  DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION THE WAY I SEE IT. BUT ... YOU DON'T HAVE TO COMMENT.  THAT KIND OF CHANGED THINGS FOR ME.  YOU KNOW, AND I

176
00:50:01.866 --> 00:50:19.300
REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT VOTING FOR THIS UNTIL WE HAVE A BETTER PLAN FOR BUSINESSES.  AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY PLAN.  CAN YOU TALK ABOUT IF THERE'S ANY PLAN.  IS THERE A RECOVERY WAY OF HELPING

177
00:50:19.300 --> 00:50:36.700
THE BUSINESSES?  AND I DON'T THINK WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT. SO .. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS.  I DO APPRECIATE THE MONEY THAT'S COMING INTO OUR CITY AND HAVE THE SAFE ROADS BIKE LANE AND ALL

178
00:50:36.700 --> 00:50:52.933
THE GREAT THINGS.  WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE SMALL BUSINESSES AND THINK ABOUT HOW IT WILL AFFECT THEM.  AND MY QUESTION IS THIS, IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT, ALSO, I'D LIKE TO SEE IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE CROSS SECTION DONE WITHOUT CLOSING THE STREET?  I KNOW THEY

179
00:50:52.933 --> 00:51:08.833
CAN.  THERE'S ALWAYS A CREATIVE WAY OF GETTING THINGS DONE. I'LL LEAVE IT THERE.  THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I JUST WANTED TO TAKE SOME TIME

180
00:51:08.833 --> 00:51:25.700
TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR LYNDALE AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION. I THINK A VOTE FOR THIS IS A VOTE FOR PROGRESS FOR OUR CITY. ONE THING THAT I JUST WANT TO REALLY HAMMER HOME FOR MY COLLEAGUES AND ANYONE LISTENING

181
00:51:25.700 --> 00:51:41.966
IN THE COMMUNITY IS THIS IS 10YEAR-OLD STREET.  THIS IS 100 YEARS OLD AND STRTS HAVE AN END OF LIFE.  THERE IS A POINT IN WHICH THEY ARE NO LONGER WORKING A FOR THE

182
00:51:41.966 --> 00:51:58.333
COMMUNITY.  AND OUR COMMUNITIES DESERVE NICE THINGS.  AND LYNDALE IS FAR DUE FOR RECONSTRUCTION.  AND RECONSTRUCTION OF OUR STREETS IS A FACT OF LIFE IN A BUSY CITY LIKE THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. ESPECIALLY LYNDALE AVENUE, WHICH

183
00:51:58.333 --> 00:52:13.933
HAS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE USING IT. HOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE USING IT EACH AND EVERY DAY.  I ALSO WANT TO HAMMER HOME WHETHER WE HAVE BIKE LANES OR NO BIKE LANES OR ANY OF THE AMENITIES WE'RE PROVIDING FOR PEDESTRIANS.  IF WE TOOK ALL

184
00:52:13.933 --> 00:52:33.933
THAT OFF, THAT SAME IMPACT WOULD STILL HAPPEN WITH CONSTRUCTION FOR THE IMPROVEMES THAT ARE NEEDED IN THE STREETS. O WHAT WE'RE VOTING FOR IS NOT JUST FOR 2028 OR 2029.  IT'S FOR 2128.  I

185
00:52:33.933 --> 00:52:50.200
THINK IT GIVES US A VALUABLE PERSPECTIVE.  I ALSO WANT TO SPEAK TO THE FACT TT I HEAR FROM RESIDENTS AND CONSTITUENTS IN MY OWN WARD THAT TRAVEL TO LYNDALE AVENUE FROM RESIDENTS AND CONSTITUENTS THAT ARE ON LYNDALE AVEE, AS SOMEONE THAT

186
00:52:50.200 --> 00:53:08.433
VED OFF OF RIDGEWOOD OFF OF LYNDALE IN MY TIME AS A RESIDENT IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. THIS IS A VERY HOSTILE, VERY HOSTILE STREET FOR ALL OF THOSE THAT EXPERIENCE WALKING, BIKING, DRIVING, USING TRANSIT ON THIS

187
00:53:08.433 --> 00:53:25.466
STREET.  LYNN LAKE IS THE HIGHEST INJURY INTERSECTION IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS.  WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY, AS LOCAL GOVERNMENT, TO OUR CONSTITUENTS AND OUR COMMUNITIES TO MAKE UPDATES TO ENSURE THAT,: ONE,

188
00:53:25.466 --> 00:53:42.833
WE'RE ADDRESSING AGING INFRASTRUCTURE.  TWO, WE'RE MAKING SURE OUR STREETS ARE WELCOMING FOR ALL AND PEOPLE CAN GET AROUND.  WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE REDUCING CRASHES AND SAVING LIVES.  AND WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT IS SEEING A PROJECT BEFORE

189
00:53:42.833 --> 00:53:58.700
US THAT REALLY BRINGS INTO THE FOLD THE CONSIDERATIONS OF THOSE THAT BIKE, THOSE THAT USE TRANSIT, AND, ALSO, IMPROVENTS THAT WILL JUST MAKE IT A BETTER AND SAFER PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE, AS WELL AS IF THAT'S WHAT THEY CHOOSE.  I WANT TO

190
00:53:58.700 --> 00:54:15.200
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WAS A COMPRISE, OVERALL.  THERE WAS SEVERAL THINGS THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT DON'T PREFER TO DRIVE WANTED AND DID NOT RECEIVE. THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE A PART OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY OR ARE PREDOMINANTLY DRIVERS WANTED AND GOT OR WANTED AND DIDN'T GET.

191
00:54:15.200 --> 00:54:31.633
AND I THINK THE REALLY BIG SORT THAT HANGS OVER OUR HEAD IS THE FACT THAT 45% OF THE FUNDING THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT HAPPEN COMES FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMT.  AND I THINKWL GOVERNMENT ISN'T COMING TO SAVE

192
00:54:31.633 --> 00:54:48.233
ANY TIME SOON.  WE MIGHT AS WELL TE THE FUNDING WE HAVE, BE ABLE TO DO THIS RECONSTRUCTIONROJECT, AND MOVE FORWARD.  OR OTHERWISE WE MIGHT NOT BE GUARANTEED THE FUNDING WE NEED TO ADDRESS A STREET THAT'S BEEN AGING FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.

193
00:54:48.233 --> 00:55:02.133
AND I ALSO HEAR THE CONCERN ABOUT CONSTRUCTION BEING A DEATH NOTE TO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ITS VIBRANCY.  AND THAT'S WHY I'M BRINGING FORWARD A MOTION, AN AMENDMENT TO THE RESOLUTION, AND

194
00:55:02.133 --> 00:55:20.633
I'D LIKE TO READ IT A LOUD. BR WHEREAS: THE CITYENCOURAGES H THE COUNTY TO MINIMIZE DISRUPTION BY INCREASING ACTIVATION DURING STREET CLOSURES BY SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT OF PROAMMING SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAYTIME

195
00:55:20.633 --> 00:55:36.700
EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES, PERFORMANCES, SEATING AREAS, FOOD STALLS, INTERIM PLAZAS, AND SIMILAR USES.  AND, WHEREAS, THE APPROACH IS RECOMMENDED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS FOR TEMPORARY STREET CLOSURES

196
00:55:36.700 --> 00:55:52.366
ALLOWING CITIETO MAKE BETTER USE OF THE ROADWAYS. PARTICULARLY DURING OFF PEAK HOURS AND WEEKENDS AND CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO DRAW ATTENTION TO NEIBORHOOD BUSINESSES AND DESTINATIONS WHILE INCREASING FOOT TRAFFIC ON DESIGNATED CORRIDORS. WE CAN MAKE STREET RECONSTRUCTION SOMETHING THAT

197
00:55:52.366 --> 00:56:09.033
BRINGS COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTO THE CORRIDOR.  WE DO IT EVERY TIME WE CLOSE DOWN LYNDALE AVENUE FOR OPEN STREETS.  SO LET'S DO BEERS AND BULLDOZERS, HAVE INTERIM PLAZAS, CREATE A PLACE FOR OUR KIDS TO PLAY AND LET'S HAVE THE CITY AND THE UNTY CHIP IN.  COMMISSIONER

198
00:56:09.033 --> 00:56:25.266
MARIONREEN HIGHLIGHTED IN AN INTERVIEW RECENTLY, THIS IS SOMEING SHE'S INTERESTED IN COLLABORATING ON.  HECK, LET'S BRING THE DANCING PENCILS FROM LAKE OF THE AISLES INTO LYNDALE AVENUE TO BRING SOME OF THAT WHIMSY.  I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE A DEATH NOTE FOR THE

199
00:56:25.266 --> 00:56:41.633
BUSINESS COMMUNITY.  I THINK IT CAN BE A HUGE BOOM.  AND WE CAN REPLACE 100-YEAR-OLD INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUILD FOR THE FUTURE. >> MADAM CITY ATTORNE >> UMM, THANK YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT.  I THOUGHT I WOULD FORMALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION

200
00:56:41.633 --> 00:56:56.350
WHEN I SAID MY UNDERSTANDING WAS.  DIRECTOR SEXTON IS CORRECT THAT THE PROCESS REQUIRES APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY, WHICH, AS WE'VE INTERPRETED IT, IS THIS BODY AND

201
00:56:56.350 --> 00:57:12.800
THE MAYOR.  THERE IS A DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN THE STATUTE THAT IF WE FAIL TO APPROVE, THEN THE COUNTY MAY REQUEST THE APPOINTMENT OF A DISPUTE RESOLUTION BOARD. CONSISTING OF ONE COUNTY

202
00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:29.900
COMMISSIONER, ONE COUNTY ENGINEER, ONE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, OR ONE CITY MAYOR, ONE ENGINEER AND REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSCRIPTION TO RENEW THE PROPOSAL AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW, THE COMMISSIONER MAY APPROVE THE ESTABLISHMENT

203
00:57:29.900 --> 00:57:48.566
... RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD. SO, ESSENTIALLY, THE ANSWER IS YOU HAVE TO APPROVE IT BUT THERE IS A PROCESS AND I WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE TO BE SURPRISED IF YOU DID NOT APPROVE IT, THEN THERE COULD BE THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS.  SO HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS QUESTIONS.

204
00:57:48.566 --> 00:58:06.100
>> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. UMM, FIRST, I DO WANT TO JUST SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE CAME FORWARD, UMM, AND ADVOCATED AND ORGANIZED, UMM, ACROSS OUR CITY

205
00:58:06.100 --> 00:58:21.400
TO ENSURE THAT ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT ARE BEING HELD CONDIT ACCOUNTABLE TO THE COMMITMENTS WE'VE MADE TO IMPROVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS AND EXPAND MULTIMODAL OPTIONS FOR GETTING AROUND MINNEAPOLIS

206
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:38.200
SAFELY.  THE LYNDALE PROJECT IS COUNTY LED AS ESTABLISHED, OUR RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN ENGAGING THE CITY COUNCIL ON THIS PROPOSAL FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS.  BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THESE DECISIONS HAVE LASTING CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR CITY. MINNEAPOLIS, SPECIFICALLY, ALSO UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF

207
00:58:38.200 --> 00:58:53.933
THIS.  BECAUSE WE SET THE AMBITIOUS GOAL OF ENSURING THAT THREE OUT OF EVERY FIVE TRIPS ARE MADE WITHOUT A CAR BY 2030. AND THAT DEADLINE IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS AWAY.  SO IF WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT MEETING THAT COMMITMENT, THEN WE MUST TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE TO

208
00:58:53.933 --> 00:59:10.366
MOVE CLOSER TO THAT GOAL.  BUT UNFORTUNATELY, PROJECTS LIKE THIS HAVE REINFORCED A TROUBLING REALITY FOR MANY RESIDENTS INDICATING THAT ADOPTING BOLD TRANSCRIPTION PLANS IS ONE THING.  BUT THEN WHEN IT COMES TO ACTUALLY DELIVERING THE FRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY TO

209
00:59:10.366 --> 00:59:27.133
ACHIEVE THEM, BECOMES A WHOLE OTHER SITUATION.  THAT'S BECOMING OVERPOLITICIZED IN MANY WAYS AND THREATENS OUR ABILITY TO MEET THE GOALS.  AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN, WE'VE SEEN THAT MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS FOR PEOPLE WHO WALK, BIKE, OR RELY ON TRANSITS ARE NOT GUARANTEED

210
00:59:27.133 --> 00:59:44.366
WHEN WE DO THE MASSIVE ROAD OR RESURFACING PROJECTS.  AND THEY OFTEN ONLY HAPPEN BECAUSE RESIDENTS STAY ENGAGED, THEY SPEAK UP, AND REFUSE TO LET IMPORTANT DESIGN ELEMENTS BE QUIETLY STRIPPED AWAY I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE NORMALIZING THE PRACTICE OF

211
00:59:44.366 --> 01:00:02.333
MOVING GOAL POSTS ON WHAT A SAFE COMPLETE STREETS SHOULD LOOK LIKE.  I'M PARTICULARLY TROUBLED WITH THE LEVEL OF OPPOSITION TO INCORPORATING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN OTHER IMPROVEMENT SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS INTO OUR ROADWAYS.  AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND AND SYMPATHIZE WITH

212
01:00:02.333 --> 01:00:18.300
THE DISRUPTION THAT CONSTRUCTION CAN CREATE FOR BUSINESSES, THE NOTION THAT WE SHOULD ABANDON OR INDEFINITELY DELAY A RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT ON A CORRIDOR THAT IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS UNSAFE IS SIMPLY NOT RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP.  AND FURTHER NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS

213
01:00:18.300 --> 01:00:35.800
WHAT ONLY PROLONG UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR EVERYONE USING THE CORRIDOR.  AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, WE SHOULD BE CLEAR WITH THE PUBLIC KNOWING TO MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE WALKING, BIKING, AND TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT ONLY POOR GOVERNANCE.  IT'S ALSO INCONSISTENT WITH THE TRANSPORTATION POLICIES AND

214
01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:52.266
CLIMATE COMMITMENTS THAT THIS BODY AND THE CITY HAS MADE, UMM, TOWARDS OUR RESIDENTS. AND AT THE SAME TIME, I AGREE THAT THE AGENCIES UNDERTAKING THESE PROJECTS OF SCALE SHOULD HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES AFFECTED BY, AH, CONSTRUCTION.

215
01:00:52.266 --> 01:01:08.733
I THINK THOSE INTENTIONS ARE REFLECTED IN THE AMENDMENTS BEING BROUGHT FORWARD BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY AND STEVENSON. UMM, WE ALSO SHOULD EXPECT FROM OUR PARTNERS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ASKING OF THEM, WE SHOULD BE MODELING OURSELVES.  AND THAT'S EXACTLY

216
01:01:08.733 --> 01:01:25.700
WHY TWO YEARS AGO, I SUPPORTED COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI'S AMENDMENT TO CREATE A PILOT PROGRAM PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY MAJOR TRANSIT CONSTRUCTION.  AND THAT PROPOSAL WAS MADE USING FEEDBACK FROM OUR RESIDENTS, FROM BUSINESS OWNERS

217
01:01:25.700 --> 01:01:43.066
IN HER WARD AND GAVE MITC MINNEAPOLIS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGE THAT WE'RE REPEATEDLY RUNNING INTO. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT NEARLY $1 MILLION USED TO ADDRESS THAT VERY REAL CHALLENGE WAS REDIRECTED BECAUSE OF MPD'S

218
01:01:43.066 --> 01:02:00.200
BUDGET OVERRUNS AND THUS THE PILOT WAS NEVER IMPLEMENTED. HAD THE PROGRAM BEEN CARRIEDOUTU BE IN A MUCH STRONGER POSITION TO ASK HENNEPIN COUNTY TO PROVIDE SIMILAR SUPPORT TOBUSINE LYNDALE CONSTRUCTION.  OR RECONSTRUCTION.  BUT MY HOPE IS,

219
01:02:00.200 --> 01:02:17.000
THE COUNTY WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH BUSINESS OWNERS TO MINIMIZE CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS WHILE PRESERVING THE CRITICAL DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WOULD PROVIDE LASTING BENEFITS FOR, AGAIN, FOR OUR RESIDENTS WHO WALK, BIKE, WHO USE TRANSIT, OR OTHERWISE TRAVEL WITHOUT A CAR.  I ALSO, AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU

220
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:34.000
TO THE HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROCESS, WHO REACHED OUT TO MY OFFICE AND COUNCIL MEMBERS IF FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS.  YOUR ADVOCATE SIED A HAVE SIDE COMMUNI -- ADVOCACY CHANGE THE COURSE OF THE DESIGN.  YOU HELPED BRING FORWARD A PROPOSAL THAT

221
01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:51.166
HOPEFULLY THIS BODY CAN MOVE FORWARD AND SUPPORT TODAY.  AND I JUST WANT SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND YOUR PERSISTENCE FOR HOLDING US ACCOUNTABLE TO THE COMMITMENTS THAT WE MADE.  THANKS.  s

222
01:02:51.166 --> 01:03:05.666
COUNCIL MEMBER CHUD I ARE CHOWDHURY INTRODUCE CANNED THE AMENDMENT.  I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE IT AS AMENDED WITH BOTH AMENDMENTS.  IS THAT OKAY, MR. CLERK? >> OBJECTION IN THE BODY, WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT IN FRONT OF

223
01:03:05.666 --> 01:03:25.866
US.  WE HAD AN AMENDMENT OFFERED BY STEVENSON NO SECOND.  AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY MENTIONED SHE HAD AN AMENDMENT AND READ IT >> POINT OF ORDER.  I'M IN QUEUE

224
01:03:25.866 --> 01:03:44.300
TO TALK ABOUT THIS.  OKAY COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON HAD A SECOND. >> I SECONDED IT. >> WE DIDN'T CATCH IT. >> OKAY. >> YEAH.  YEAH.  OKAY.  WE'LL GET THROUGH THE REST OF THIS CONVERSATION AND THEN WE'LL DEAL WITH HOW WE'LL PACKAGE THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ.

225
01:03:44.300 --> 01:04:02.116
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, HI, STAFF.  WELCOME.  ONE QUESTION. CAN YOU PLEASE OUTLINE THE RISK OF DELAYS OR THE RISK OF NOT APPROVING THIS TODAY. >> WELCOME.  INTRODUCE YOURSELF, IF YOU COULD. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCIL

226
01:04:02.116 --> 01:04:19.800
MEMBER CHAVEZ, MY NAME IS FONTAINE BURRS.  A SENIOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNER WITH PUBLIC WORKS.  THE COUNTY'S DEMO DEADLINE, WHICH MEANS NEED TO HAVE FULL FINAL PLAN SETS IS JUNE OF 2027.  RISK OF

227
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:35.266
DELAY WOULD RISK THE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT. >> WOULD YOU PLEASE OUTLINE HOW MUCH MONEY THAT IS.  MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT COU LOSE $9 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT

228
01:04:35.266 --> 01:04:51.033
BY DELAYING OR VOTING AGAINST THIS, WE COULD THEN ADD INCREASED COSTS TO THE PROJECT, IS THIS CORRECT? >> COU COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAZ, THERE WOULD BE A FUNDING GAP IF THE

229
01:04:51.033 --> 01:05:08.133
FEDEL FUNDING IS LOST.  THAT IS ABOUT 45% OF THE TOTAL COST THAT WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING. >> GREAT.  THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT THIS TODAY. IF I DON'TANT TO BE IN A POSITION TO THROW OVER $9 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING.

230
01:05:08.133 --> 01:05:24.500
I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT PROJECTS LIKE THIS ALSO HELP BRING BUSINESS TO THE AREA, CUSTOMERS TO THE AREA, AND AS I TAKE THIS VOTE TODAY, I THINK ABOUT THE KIDS THAT DESERVE SAFE STREETS. THEY DON'T DESERVE

231
01:05:24.500 --> 01:05:40.400
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS UNSAFE. I WANTED TO FLAG THAT.  I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO VOTE FOR THIS.  BECAUSE I THINK THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO BE T T DELAYING THIS OR NOT APPROVING IT, THROWING AWAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, IT'S NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY AND OUR RESIDENTS.

232
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:57.633
I UNDERSTANDER THE CONCERNS THAT FOLKS HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO CONSTRUCTION.  AND SINCE THERE WAS COMPARISONS MADE TO HENNEPIN AVENUE.  I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM THAT.  I WAS PROUD TO SUPPORT A BUDGET AMENDMENT LED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI FOR $900,000 FOR SMALL BUSINESS

233
01:05:57.633 --> 01:06:13.766
CONSTRUCTION AND HARDSHIP FUND FOR HENNEPIN AVENUE AND OTHER AREAS.  WHILE THE CITY COUNCIL HELPED FUND THIS, IT WAS NEVER IMPLEMENTED BY THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION.  SO I HOPE THE COUNTY ENDS UP PUTTING SOME FUNDING INTO SUPPORTING THESE SMALL BUSINESSES AND I HOPE IT GETS IMPLEMENTED.  AND I HOPE

234
01:06:13.766 --> 01:06:29.500
THAT IT DOES GET IMPLEMENTED. BECAUSE IF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT CAME TO HENNEPIN AVENUE IT WAS NOT IMPLEMENTED WHEN THE CITY COUNCIL FUNDED IT, WE SAW MASSIVE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESSES.  THERE ARE LESSONS LEARNED.  I HOPE THAT'S ONE OF THEM. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY.

235
01:06:29.500 --> 01:06:47.366
>> THANKS, PRESIDENT PAYNE.  I WANTED TO MAKE -- I DON'T THINK IT'S MAKING A MOTION.  BUT ASKING THAT WE -- IF, UMM, COCIL MEMBER STEVENSON WOULD BE ALL RIGHT IF I HAD MYAMENDMEE THAT'S BEFORE US.  I BELIEVE WE

236
01:06:47.366 --> 01:07:03.566
CAN TAKE THAT UP AS, LIKE, A FRIENDLY ADDITION TO HIS AMENDMENT.  NO?  WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR PACKAGING THESE TOGETHER THEN? >> THAT'S A VOTE OF THE BODY. IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION, CERTAINLY, THE BODY CAN SAY WE WANT TO TAKE IT UP.  IF ANY

237
01:07:03.566 --> 01:07:21.766
MEMBER OBJECTS, IT HAS TO BE DONE BY AN AMENDMENT PROCESS. IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO MERGING THE TWO AMENDMENTS ON THE DAIS? >> ANY OBJECTION FROM THE BODY? NOT SEEING ANY.  LET'S TAKE IT UP AS A PACKAGE.  IS THAT GOOD,

238
01:07:21.766 --> 01:07:38.033
COUNCIL MEMBER? THAT WORKS FOR ME.  LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS FOR COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> SOUNDS GOOD.  COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> YES.  I'M WONDERING IF COUNCIL COULD REITERATE FOR ME ONE TIME IF WE WERE TO DENY IT, YOU MENTIONED THERE WAS ANOTHER COUNCIL THAT WAS SET UP.  CAN

239
01:07:38.033 --> 01:07:54.400
YOU REPEAT THAT. >> MADAM CITY ATTORNEY. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PRESIDENT, COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER.  SO THE STATUTE PROVIDES THAT IF THE CITY'S GOVERNING BODY DOES NOT

240
01:07:54.400 --> 01:08:12.966
APPROVE, THEN THE COUNTY BOARD MAY, BY RESOLUTION, REQUEST A DISPUTE RESOLUTION BODY THAT WOULD GATHER TOGETHER AGAIN WITH MANY DIFFERENT EMPLOYERS FROM THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES THAT WOULD GATHER TOGETHER AND REVIEW

241
01:08:12.966 --> 01:08:30.033
THE RECOMMENDATION AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. >> EK 0 THA OKAY. THANK YOU.  I DON'T WANT TO PAUSE ON THE PROJECT.  I DON'T WANT TO LOSE FEDERAL FUNDING ON THE PROJECT.  WE NEED TO MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD.  WE HAVE AGING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS

242
01:08:30.033 --> 01:08:47.766
TO HAPPEN.  I SUPPORT A LOT OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE DESIGN.  TO ME, THE MOST PRIMARY THING THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY BEFORE US AS A BOARD TO DO AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME IS TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO HOW WE HANDLE

243
01:08:47.766 --> 01:09:04.900
INFRASTRUCTURE OVERLAPPING WITH BUSINESSES IN A VERY STRONG COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.  TO TAKE THE TIME WITH A MEDIATING BODY TO SIT DOWN AND SAY, HEY, IT'S NOT XYZ THAT'S THE PROBLEM. IT'S THE PROBLEM OF HOW WE'VE

244
01:09:04.900 --> 01:09:20.433
HANDLED INFRASTRUCTURE IN PROTECTING OUR CITY REVENUE. WHEN WE GO THROUGH MULTI-YEAR PROJECTS.  THAT REALLY WE NEED AND WANT.  SO MY IDEA IS, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD

245
01:09:20.433 --> 01:09:37.066
TRUST.  CURRENTLY, WE I THINK AS A PUBLIC AND RESIDENTS HERE, CITY STAFF, COUNTY STAFF, COUNCIL MEMBER STAFF, YES, WE HEAR THE CONCERNS.  WE KNOW THAT YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BAND WIDTH TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE SHUT DOWN

246
01:09:37.066 --> 01:09:54.200
YOUR BUSINESS MIGHT CLOSE, ET. CETERA, ET. CETERA.  ALL THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN HEARING.  THE FEAR.  REAL FEAR WE'VE BEEN HEARING FROM SMALL FAMILY MEMBERS THAT RUN SMALL BUSINESSES ON THE CORRIDOR.  BUT WE SAY YES WE HEAR IT ALL AND WE'LL TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION, IN GENERAL ADDITIONS TO OUR AMENDMENT.

247
01:09:54.200 --> 01:10:10.433
LIKE WE'LL TRY TO SAVE MORE TREES OR WE'LL TRY TO MAKE UP THE TIMELINE GO FASTER.  BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NOTHING SPECIFIC.  TO ME, I SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO THE VOTE IT DOWN AND SAY NOT A BAD DESIGN.  NOT,

248
01:10:10.433 --> 01:10:27.600
YOU KNOW, GOING TO LOSE THE FEDERAL FUNDS.  BUT TAKE ONE CORE PIECE OF THE DISCUSSION AND HYPERFOCUS IT ON HOW WE CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND HAVE SPECIFIC LANGUAGES FOR OUR BUSINESS THAT DOESN'T GET THE CITY OR THE COUNTY DOING MORE THAN THEY SHOULD FOR BUSINESSES.

249
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:43.033
BUT HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFIC FOR THEM TO HANG THEIR HAT ON AND SAY, YOU KNOW, THE CITY AND THE COUNTY LISTENED.  CITY REALLY APPRECIATE HEARING ABOUT COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ AND COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY BRINGING UP THIS PILOT

250
01:10:43.033 --> 01:11:01.100
PROGRAM.  OF THE $900,000.  WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO IT. WENT AWAY.  THIS IS WHAT I'M ASKING MY COLLEAGUES TO CONSIDER AGAIN.  LET'S GO BACK TO THE TABLE.  I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WOULD FIND THE MONEY, BUT WE CAN START WITH JUST LANGUAGE AROUND EXTENDED HOURS THAT LAYS OUT

251
01:11:01.100 --> 01:11:16.933
CLEARLY WHERE WE'RE HEADING WITH CONSTRUCTION TIMELINES.  ONCE WE GET THE PHASING.  SO WE HAVE TIME.  WE HAVE TIME, IT SOUNDS LIKE, UNTIL, FORGIVE ME IF I'M WRONG, JUNE 1, 2027.  I'M, DIRECTOR.  OBVIOUSLY, WE WANT TO

252
01:11:16.933 --> 01:11:34.900
BE DONE BEFORE THEN.  WE DON'T WANT TO PUSH THE PROJECT PAST 2028 START.  THAT'S MY PLEA.  I UNDERSTAND THAT'S A LITTLE OUTSIDE THE BOX.  BUT I THINK WE ARE A BODY THAT'S WILLING TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.  AN SO

253
01:11:34.900 --> 01:11:50.633
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. OF NOT PAUSING, NOT SAYING IT'S A BAD DESIGN. NOT COMPLETE I WILLING WE'RE VOTING TO LOSE OUR FEDERAL FUNDING.  BUT VOTING TO SAY NO IN THIS MOMENT THAT WE CAN DO BETTER TO THE COUNTY AND LET'S PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER TO MAKE

254
01:11:50.633 --> 01:12:08.900
SOMETHING REALLY EXCITING TO BE A ROAD MAP FOR FUTURE MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL MULTIYEAR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT.  THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU.  A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, MAYBE, FOR THE CLERKS HERE.  I KNOW WE HAVE TWO

255
01:12:08.900 --> 01:12:26.433
DIFFERENT AMENDMENTS IN FRONT OF US.  THEY DON'T NECESSARILY MATCH.  WITH THE MERGER OF THESE, LIKE, I'M JUST -- I KNOW THIS ISN'T NORMAL THAT WE CAN KIND OF DO AMENDMENTS FROM THE DA.  BUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

256
01:12:26.433 --> 01:12:44.566
HOW THESE, LIKE, ARE WE ACCEPTING THE DELETIONS AND ACCEANCE OF ONE, MERGING THEM OVER?  LIKE, JUST KIND OF C CONFUSED HERE HOW THEY'RE GOING TOERGE TOGETHER. >> MR. CLERK. >> MR. PRESIDENT, EXACTLY AS COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON SAID. THE MOTION PENDING NOW IS THE

257
01:12:44.566 --> 01:12:58.966
COMBINATION OF THE AMENDMENT OFFERED BY COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON AND THE AMENDMENT OFFERED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHUD I ARE.  YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK AT BOTH THE DOCUMENTS IN FRONT OF YOU AND ACCEPT THE STRIKE THROUGHS AND THE UNDERLINED ADDITIONS AS

258
01:12:58.966 --> 01:13:15.766
ONE SINGLE DOCUMENT.  MY BEST ADVISE, IN TERMS OF CLARITY ON A VOTE.  SO THE RECORD IS CORRECT AND PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE VOTING ON, IS THAT WE SET THIS ASIDE.  LET THE CLERKS GO PREPARE ONE DOCUMENT THAT MERGES ALL THESE THINGS.  WE'RE LEGISLATING IN REAL TIME.  IT

259
01:13:15.766 --> 01:13:32.433
MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ALL OF THIS.  AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF ENERGY AROUND THIS RIGHT NOW. I THINK I WOULD RECOMMEND THE BODY GIVE US 10 MINUTES TO GO MERGE THOSE SO THERE'S A CLEAR SINGLE DOCUMENT IN FRONT OF YOU. WE CAN MOVE ON TO OTHER

260
01:13:32.433 --> 01:13:48.966
BUSINESS, OR IF YOU WANT TO BODY THE WISHES TO TAKE A RECESS TO ALLOW THE CLERKS TO PRODUCE THE SINGLE COMBINED DOCUMENT. EITHER OF THOSE, I THINK, WOULD BE A BETTER PROCESS FOR US.  SO THERE'S CLARITY FOR EVERYONE ON THE DAIS WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU. >> THAT'S HELPFUL FOR ME.  BUT

261
01:13:48.966 --> 01:14:05.900
IT'S THE WILL OF THE BODY. >> WE CAN TAKE -- I WOULD RECOMMEND TABLING THIS.  AND REVISITING IT ONCE THE CLERKS COME BACK PREPARED.  AND WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT COMMITTEE REPORT.  DOES THAT SOUND -- >> YEAH.  I'LL PASS IT OVER TO THE CITY ATTORNEY. >> IF COUNCIL PRESIDENT.  SORRY.

262
01:14:05.900 --> 01:14:21.400
JUST FOR POINT OF CLARIFICATION.  I'M BETTING I'M GOING TO BE HELPING WITH THIS, TOO.  THE ONLY THING, YOU KNOW, IT'S EASY TO ADD THINGS.  WHAT 50I'M CONFUSED ABOUT IS IN ONE VERSION, THE BULLET POINT

263
01:14:21.400 --> 01:14:38.866
THAT SAYS DESIGN MODIFICATION TO THE PROPOSE THE MEETINGS TO ENSURE DRIVEWAY ACCESS AND BUSINESS OPERATIONAL LEADS ONE IS STRUCK.  IN ONE VERSION.  IN THE OTHER VERSION IT'S NOT STRUCK.  IN TERMS OF THE CLERK AND I TRYING TO COME TO ONE

264
01:14:38.866 --> 01:14:55.100
DOCUMENT, SHOULD WE BE STRIKING THAT BULLET POINT OR NOT? >> CORRECT. >> CAN I MAKE A POINT OF ORDER AND POTENTIALLY A SUGGESTION FOR US HOW TO HANDLE IT? >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU.  IF IT MAKES IT

265
01:14:55.100 --> 01:15:10.800
EASIER FOR THE BODY, WHAT WE COULD DO IS IF THERE IS NOOBJECE OBJECT IF THERE IS.  WE CAN TAKE UP MY MOTION FIRST.  WHICH THE ONLY CHANGE IS MY ADDITION AND IT KEEPS THE INTEGRITY OF WHAT

266
01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:28.233
WE DID IN C & I.  AND THEN WE TAKE UP THE STEVENSON AMENDMENT. WOULD THAT WORK? >> MR. CLERK? >> I THINK THAT WAS A QUESTION FOR THE BODY.

267
01:15:28.233 --> 01:15:46.400
>> OH. >> IT WAS LARGELY A QUESTION FOR THE CLERKS AND THE CY ATTORNEY IN TERMS O YOUR CLARITY. >> OH.  I THINK IF YOU YOU'RE ASKING THE CLERKS.  I THINK THE ATTORNEY CAN PREPARE A DOCUMENT.  I THINK THE CLATY IS ON THE ITEM THAT'S EITHER IN OR STRICKEN WHAT DOES THE BODY

268
01:15:46.400 --> 01:16:01.866
WANT DO THEY WANT THE DESIGN MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROPOSED MEDIANS TO ENSURE DRIVER ACCESS AND BUSINESS OPERATIONAL NEEDS TO BE IN OR OUT OF THE COMBINED VERSION OF THE RESOLUTION. >> GOT IT.  AND AS THE AUTHOR OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT, IT'S MY

269
01:16:01.866 --> 01:16:19.250
INTENTION FOR IT TO BE IN ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON'S AMENDMENT. >> WHICH IS THE DIRECTION, I THINK COUNCIL PRESIDENT YOU SAID.  TO STRIKE THAT OUT OF THE RESOLUTION.  THAT CLARIFIES THAT ONE ISSUE.  IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF THE BODY.  THEN I THINK THE PEOPLE CAN GO DRAFT

270
01:16:19.250 --> 01:16:35.700
THAT QUICKLY. >> OKAY.  LET'S HAVE THAT HAPPEN.  AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. AND THAT WILL BE GIVE BY THE

271
01:16:35.700 --> 01:16:53.233
CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE IS BRINGING THREE ITEMS FORWARD. ONE IS A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING SOLIDARITY WITH WORKERS AT TARGET FIELD.  TWO IS AN AMPLIFIED SOUND PERMIT AND BLOCK

272
01:16:53.233 --> 01:17:11.800
EVENT PERMIT FOR THE AQUATENNIAL FESTIVAL.  AND THREE IS ALLOCATION OF FUNDS FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND TO BE GIVEN TO HERITAGE PARK FOR REPAIRS.  THIS WAS SENT FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.  WITH THAT, I'LL MOVE ALL ITEMS FOR

273
01:17:11.800 --> 01:17:27.233
APPROVAL AND THREE FOR A SEPARATE VOTE AND DISCUSSION. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY HAS MOVED APPROVAL OF THE COMMITTEE REPORT SEPARATING OUT THREE. ANY DISCUSSION?  COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU.  I WOULD LIKE TO

274
01:17:27.233 --> 01:17:45.600
SPEAK BRIEFLY TO ITEM NUMBER ONE.  IN SUPPORT OF THIS AS A PAST MEMBER OF LOCAL 17.  I SERVED ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AS A SHOP STEWARD.  I WOULD BE OUT ON THE STRIKE LINE, IF I WAS STILL DOING THAT FOR A LIVING.

275
01:17:45.600 --> 01:18:02.100
INSTEAD OF BEING UP HERE.  SO I THINK WE ALL SHOULD SUPPORT THOSE WORKERS AS THEY ENGAGE IN THEIR FIGHT.  ESPECIALLY FOR THE HEALTH CARE PORTION. >> SEEING NO ONE ELSE LEFT, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL

276
01:18:02.100 --> 01:18:21.500
ITEMS ONE AND TWO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAZ. >> AYE. >> WARREN. >> AYE. >> SHAFFER. >> AYE. >> WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> WHITING. >> AYE. >> CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> STEVENSON. >> AYE. >> RAINVILLE. >> AYE. >> VETAW. >> AYE. >> PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> AYE. >> PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> AYE. >> 12 AYES.

277
01:18:21.500 --> 01:18:35.900
>> THOSE ITEMS CARRY.  NEXT WE'LL TAKE UP ITEM NUMBER THREE AND I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE.  IT IS MY PLEASURE TODAY

278
01:18:35.900 --> 01:18:53.700
TO HAVE BEFORE YOU A REQUEST FOR THE $2.5 MILLION FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND TO SUPPORT THE RESIDENTS AT HERITAGE PARK.  I'M PLEASED TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, DIRECTOR RACHEL

279
01:18:53.700 --> 01:19:10.233
SAYERS ON THE RELOCATION PLANS IF ARE THE RESIDENTS OF HERITAGE PARK.  THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE HAD THERE. I'M GLAD TO BE ABLE TO BE

280
01:19:10.233 --> 01:19:27.633
GETTING SOME RELIEF FOR THE RESIDENTS.  AND I WANT TO KEEP THE FOCUS ON THE RESIDENTS AT HERITAGE PARK.  I WANT TO, FIRST, THANK YOU AT THIS TIME FOR THAT.  THERE'S A MOTION THAT

281
01:19:27.633 --> 01:19:43.100
IS BEFORE YOU THAT IS JUST ASKING IN THIS PROCESS.  BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S SUCH A DELICATE DANCE THAT IS AN AMENDMENT TO THIS ASKING THAT WE MOVE THE

282
01:19:43.100 --> 01:20:01.133
FOLLOWING LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE RELATED TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND FOR HERITAGE PARK THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR REGULAR SCHEDULED REPORTING FOR THE PROGRESS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.

283
01:20:01.133 --> 01:20:18.566
PROGRESS FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE RESIDENTS AND INFORMATION RELATED TO THE DISTRIBUTED FUNDS FOR REHABILITATION.  I BELIEVE WE -- CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. YES, DIRECTOR HANSEN, PLEASE

284
01:20:18.566 --> 01:20:34.283
FORGIVE ME.  THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE FUNDS DISTRIBUTED OF THIS SPECIFICALLY FOR REHABILITATION. CORRECT? >> DIRECTOR? >> PRESIDENT PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN.  THE AUTHORITY THAT WE ARE SEEKING ALLOWS FOR

285
01:20:34.283 --> 01:20:51.900
US TO PUT FUNDING INTO BOTH RELOCATI AND EMERGENCY-LIKE SAFETY REPAIRS WITHIN THE BUILDING.  AS I MENTIONED AT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ON TUESDAY, I'LL REPEAT FOR THOSE THAT DIDN'T WATCH IT.  WE ARE FOCUSED ON RELOCATION EFFORTS,

286
01:20:51.900 --> 01:21:07.633
AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE NEED THE ABILITY FOR US TO DO POTENTIAL REPAIR WORK IN THE EVENT THAT WHILE PEOPLE ARE SEEKING RELOCATION SERVICES, WE CAN ADDRESS IMMEDIATE NEEDS. THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE WANT THAT AUTHORITY.

287
01:21:07.633 --> 01:21:24.400
>> OKAY.  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT, DIRECTOR H HANSEN. THERE'S A THIRD PIECE TO THIS MOTION.  THAT IS BASICALLY DIRECTING THAT THE CITY

288
01:21:24.400 --> 01:21:40.400
ATTORNEY'S LEGAL ANALYSIS OF PATHWAYS FOR AVAILABILITY FOR THE CITY TO RECOUP THE FUNDS. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THAT RIGHT NOW.  I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE TAKEN UP AT ANOTHER TIME.  AND I'M JUST SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON THE RESIDENTS, THE

289
01:21:40.400 --> 01:21:57.516
RELOCATION PLAN, AND ENSURING THE STABILIZATION OF THE RESIDENTS AT HERITAGE PARK. ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH ANY FINANCIAL RECOUPING CAN BE TAKEN UP SOME OTHER TIME.  THAT'S NOT MY CONCERN AT THIS TIME.  MY CONCERN IS THE RESIDENTS AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR DUE DILIGENCE

290
01:21:57.516 --> 01:22:15.333
IN THAT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I WANT TO, FIRST, AS I DID ON TUESDAY, GIVE KUDOS TO COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN FOR H LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE.  WE'VE BEEN CLEAR

291
01:22:15.333 --> 01:22:30.833
ACROSS THE BOARD THAT INHUMANE CONDITIONS ARE SOMETHING WE SHOULD NOT BE NORMALIZING.  IT'S DEVASTATING YOUR RESIDENTS HAD TO ENDURE THAT.  THAT SAID, I WANT TO SAY, WE ALL HAVE ROBUST CONVERSATIONS AROUND, ONE,

292
01:22:30.833 --> 01:22:47.133
WANTING TO SUPPORT THIS $.5 MILLION ALLOCATION.  I THINK THERE THERE WILL BE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT OF MOVING THAT ITEM FORWARD.  WHERE WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME CONTINUED CONVERSATION AMONGST THE BODY BECAUSE WE WERE ASKED

293
01:22:47.133 --> 01:23:03.733
TO APPROVE $2.5 MILLION WITHIN 48 HOURS OF CONSIDERATION IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE REGULAR REPORTINFROM THE ADMINISTRATION ON HOW THE RELOCATION PROCESS IS PROCEEDING FORWARD.  HOW THE STABILIZATION PLANS THAT THIS CONTRACT OR THE

294
01:23:03.733 --> 01:23:19.633
RCA WE'RE CONSIDERING GIVES DIRECTOR HANSEN THE ABILITY TO FIGURE OUT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL THE RELEVANT ENTITIES AND STAKEHOLDERS ESSENTIALLY COME BACK TO THIS BODY AND GIVE US REPORTING ON HOW THAT PROCESS IS MOVING FORWARD.  BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN ANOTHER

295
01:23:19.633 --> 01:23:36.033
SITUATION WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS AND HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT TOOK PLACE WITH THE FIRST ALLOCATION. THAT SEGUES INTO THE SECOND MOTION BEFORE YOU.  WHERE IT DOES REQUEST THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PRESENT COUNCIL WITH A CLIENT

296
01:23:36.033 --> 01:23:52.466
PRIVILEGED MEMO.  SO ESSENTIALLY THIS IS PRETTY STANDARD PROCESS WHERE THE CITY ATTORNEY WILL TELL US WHAT WAYS IN WHICH THEY CAN RECOUP THE $2.5 MILLION.  WE HAD ROBUST CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT ON TUESDAY, AS WELL.  WHY

297
01:23:52.466 --> 01:24:09.433
AREN'T WE MOVING THROUGH THE EXISTING TENANT RELOCATION PROGRAM ALLOWING US TO RECOUP COASTS.  ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WHOLE OVERARCHING THING OF THIS DEBATE HAS BEEN THE PARTNERS PROPERTY OWNERS, SEV RECEIVERS.  THERE'S FAILURES OF

298
01:24:09.433 --> 01:24:27.866
AGENCY CHARM CHARGED WITH HOLDING RESPONSIBILITY AND FAILED TO MEET THE STANDARDS. IF WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THE PARTNERS $2.5 MILLION, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A FREEBIE.  WE HAVE

299
01:24:27.866 --> 01:24:43.966
MECHANISMS TO HOLD A PROPERTY OWNER THAT HAS RECEIVED NOT ONLY MARKET-RATE INCOME, BECAUSE THERE ARE MARKET-RATE UNITS HERE.  THEY'RE RECEIVING INCOME. THEY HAVE RECEIVED MAS MASSIVE SUBSIDIES FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AS WELL. WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

300
01:24:43.966 --> 01:24:59.633
WE'RE REWARDING A PROBLEM PROPERTY OWNER WITH $2.5 MILLION AND NOT HAVE ANY MEANS TO TRY TO RECOUP THOSE COSTS.  ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE TAKING TH THIS FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST.  WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT

301
01:24:59.633 --> 01:25:16.266
CU TO IT ALREADY.  I THINK IN A FINANCIAL PREDICAMENT WHERE WE'RE AT AS A CITY, WE'RE ALREADY $30 MILLION IN A DEFICIT.  WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO RECOUP COSTS BY ANY MEANS.  AND IF THAT ENTAILS THE CITY ATTORNEY WRITING US A FOUR OR FIVE OR

302
01:25:16.266 --> 01:25:31.533
SIX-PAGE MEMO ARTICULATING THEIR PLANS TO DO SO.  THAT'S NOT A HEAVY LIFT.  I THINK IT'S WORTH OUR DUE DILIGENCE.  I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO MOVE ALL ITEMS AS AMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND ASK FOR A SECOND. >> SECOND. >> SECOND.

303
01:25:31.533 --> 01:25:49.533
>> AND WITH THAT, I'M SO EXCITED TO SUPPORT THIS COMPREHENSIVE PACKET. >> OKAY.  COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY MOVED ALL ITEMS FOR APPROVAL. IT'S BEEN SECONDED.  SO LET ME JUST CLARIFY WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US.  WE HAVE THE

304
01:25:49.533 --> 01:26:06.033
UNDERLYING MOTION, WHICH WE TOOK UP IN C.O.W.  IT HAS THREE SUB BULLETS UNDER IT.  THE MOTION THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY MADE WAS TO ADD A SUB BULLET 3.4, THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ON

305
01:26:06.033 --> 01:26:24.166
REPORTING.  AND 3.5, WHICH IS A STAFF DIRECTION TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AROUND RECOUP. A MOTION TO THIS, CITY ATTORNEY, TO BRING FORWARD PRIVILEGED MEMO ON HOW WE MIGHT RECOUP EXPENSES.  AND I SEE

306
01:26:24.166 --> 01:26:39.400
COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN RAISING A QUESTION. >> CORRECT.  I WOULD LIKE A SEPARATE VOTE ON 3.5.  AS I STATED BEFORE, THIS IS NOT ABOUT THAT.  IF WE WANT TO THE MAKE IT

307
01:26:39.400 --> 01:26:56.000
ABOUT THAT.  WE'LL HAVE TO ASK -- TO BRING HIS HAPPY BODY TO THE TABLE.  HE NEGLECTED TO DO SO.  THE MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS THERE AT HERITAGE PARK ARE PARTICIPANTS OF MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY.  AND

308
01:26:56.000 --> 01:27:12.416
UNTIL HE DOES HIS DAMN JOB, THERE IS NO QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED TO ANYBODY ABOUT ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.  AND WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS THEN START ISSUING PEOPLE NOT ONLY BACK WHATEVER IT WAS THAT WAS LOST, BUT THEIR SECTION 8 VOUCHERS, HANDLED, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH

309
01:27:12.416 --> 01:27:30.416
ME, AND MY RESIDENTS AND THE CITY OFFICE.  WE'RE WORKING WITH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR SYSTEMS. WE'RE TAKING THE LEAD.  BECAUSE WE ARE LEADERS OF THIS CITY. THESE ARE OUR RESIDENTS.  THE END OF THAT.  THAT'S HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE HANDLED.  WE'RE NOT

310
01:27:30.416 --> 01:27:47.416
PUTTING ANY EXTRA SLIDE AND SIGNAL ON WHATEVER ELSE THAT'S HAPPENING.  I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING MORE ABOUT IT.  THAT'S THE END OF IT.  SO THE SECOND VOTE ON THAT 3.5 OR WHATEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE 2.5 THAT IS BEING UTILIZED TO SERVE MY

311
01:27:47.416 --> 01:28:03.650
UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS IN WARD FIVE, IN H HERITAGE PARK IS A NO ON THAT.  THE END. >> WHAT I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND BASED ON THE FEEDBACK, COUNCIL MEMBER.  WE TAKE UP EACH OF THESE AS SEPARATE VOTES.  SO WE'LL VOTE ON 3.4, WE'LL VOTE ON

312
01:28:03.650 --> 01:28:18.433
3.5, AND THEN BASED ON THE OUTCOME OF THAT, WE'LL TAKE THE FINAL VOTE ON THE FULL PACKAGE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO EVERYONE? >> I HAVE A QUESTION.  I SEE COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN IS LISTED AS AN AUTHOR ON THE MOTION.  IF SHE'S WITHDRAWING HER MOTION -- >> I'M NOT AN AUTHOR.

313
01:28:18.433 --> 01:28:36.083
>> OH.  YOUR NAME IS ON ... >> I'M NOT ANYMORE. >> OKA >> THE END. >> ALL RIGHT.  THANK YOU. >> RIGHT NOW ITEM 3.4, THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ON REPORTING.  THAT WILL BE THE

314
01:28:36.083 --> 01:28:54.716
VOTE THAT WE TAKE.  THE QUEUE IS FOR THE UNDERLYING MOTION.  I SEE IT.  ONCE WE GO TO ROLL CALL, WE'LL TAKE UP 3.4.  I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. REALLY APPRECIATE IT.  AND I'LL

315
01:28:54.716 --> 01:29:10.950
JUST SAY WITH THE DIFFERENT MOTIONS WE HAVE, I FEEL LIKE JUST GIVING GRACE TO EVERYBODYHI DON'T THINK ANYONE IS TRYING TO STEP ON ANYONE'S TOES.  I THINK THINGS ARE SHIFTING QUICKLY, LIKE, WE HAD O MOTION WITH THE

316
01:29:10.950 --> 01:29:26.283
LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE.  AND THEN UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY, WE WEREN'T ABLE TO HAVE A PIECE OF IT IN THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE.  AND SO IT THEN TURNED  GENERATED INTO A THIRD MOTION.  AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AND THAT'S WHY

317
01:29:26.283 --> 01:29:44.983
THE AUTHORSHIP HAS REMAINED SAME.  I WANT TO PROVIDE THE CLARITY UP FRONT AND GIVE EVERYONE A LOT OF GRACE HERE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT IN WITH RESPECT TO THE CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN AND HER OFFICE AND

318
01:29:44.983 --> 01:30:00.350
THE CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE AT HERITAGE PARK.  IS REGARDING RELOCATION OF PEOPLE AND THE 2.5 WE'LL CONTRIBUTE TO IT.  I WANT TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING ONE, WH'S THE DIVISION OF THAT

319
01:30:00.350 --> 01:30:15.950
MONEY FOR REHABILITATION OF THE BUILDING.  AND HOW MUCH IS GOING TO RELOCATION?  AND THEN I ALSO SEE THAT WE HAVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR SAYER HERE WITH US.  I WANT TO SEE, LIKE, WHAT KIND OF STEPS YOUR DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO TAKE TO

320
01:30:15.950 --> 01:30:33.816
HELP THE PEOPLE RELOCATE.  I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING A DIGNIFIED PROCESS ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW IN THIS VERY POOR AIR QUALITY SITUATION AND HEAT WAVE. I'M ALSO WONDERING IF WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO GET ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM PARTNERS LIKE THE

321
01:30:33.816 --> 01:30:53.783
RED CROSS AND JUST KIND OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.  BECAUSE MOVING 686 PEOPLE ALL AT ONCE SEEMS LIKE A REALLY HUGE FEAT.  I WOULD IMAGINE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF STEPS TO THAT.

322
01:30:53.783 --> 01:31:10.850
DIRECTOR HAS BEEN HANSEN, DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER THE FIRST PART? >> WE CAN START WITH DIRECTOR SAYER. >> DIRECTOR SAY YO SAYER. ALL RIGHT. >> GOOD MORNING.  DIRECTOR HANSEN ASKED ME TO COMMUNE KATE ON THE SPLIT OF FUNDING. SOMETHING DETERMINED THROUGH THE

323
01:31:10.850 --> 01:31:29.050
PRO PROCESS THAT WE'RE RUNNING.  I'LL SPEAK ABOUT THE PROCESS. NOTING THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN ABSOLUTELY WANT TO WORK THROUGH THE THING WITH YOU. I KNOW WE HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO CONNECT IN PERSON SINCE I CAME

324
01:31:29.050 --> 01:31:46.116
IN YESTERDAY.  I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.  LET ME TALK ABOUT HOW THIS PROCESS WORKS. YESTERDAY WE STOOD UP SOMETHING CALLED A HERITAGE PARK COORDINATION GUP.  THAT WILL CONSIST OF OPERATIONAL STAFF ACROSS CITY DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS PARTNERSE'VE ALREADY PULLE

325
01:31:46.116 --> 01:32:02.850
IN FOR CALLS LIKE R RED CROSS. IT INCLUDES COORDINATION WITH MPHA.  WE ARE USING OUR NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTE PROTOCOLS AS THE BASIS FOR THIS

326
01:32:02.850 --> 01:32:22.483
STRUCTURE.  WHAT THAT MEANS, IT BRINGS INTO PLACE REGULAR MEETINGS, REGULAR COORDINATION CALLS, AND REGULAR REPORTING. SO YOU WILL SEE ALL OF THAT START TO COME THROUGH IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  AS WE GET STAFF

327
01:32:22.483 --> 01:32:38.816
TO BE DEDICATED TO THE PARTY EFFORT.  OUR FIRST OBJECTIVE IS MEETING URGENT NEEDS OF RESIDENTS.  SO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING I WANT TO SIT DOWN WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN AND UNDERSTAND IMMEDIATE NEEDS THAT HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO HER AND HER TEAM.  MY TEAM IS ALREADY

328
01:32:38.816 --> 01:32:56.583
WORKING ON OPTIONS FOR MEETING URGENT NEEDS.  WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE.  WHILE WE WORK ON POTENTIAL PLANS FOR RELOCATION. SO, THE PLANS FOR RELOCATION, COUNCIL MEMBER, AS YOU MENTIONED.  IT'S LARGE-SCALE. IT'S BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF ANY ONE AGENCY TO DO.  SO ABSOLUTELY

329
01:32:56.583 --> 01:33:18.183
THE COUNTY IS A HUGE PARTNER IN THIS, AS WELL.  AS WELL AS MANY OTHER AGENCIES THAT WE'RE LLING IN.  SO THERE'S A LOT MORE TO COME.  JUST TO NOTE, OUR IMMEDIATE FOCUS IS ON THE URGENT NEEDS.  THANK YOU, DIRECTOR, I

330
01:33:18.183 --> 01:33:34.350
. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR.  I APPRECIATE IT.  WE'LL SEE HOW THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES ON THE ITEM.  I DO BELIEVE 100% THIS IS ABOUT THE RESIDENTS HERE AND SUPPORTING THE FOURTH WARD. I'LL SHARE THE REASON --

331
01:33:34.350 --> 01:33:50.683
APOLOGIES, FIFTH WARD. SUPPORTING THE FIFTH WARD.  AND HERITAGE PARK.  THE REASON WHY I'M INTERESTED IN FURTHERING THE DISCUSSION O THE MOTION FOR REQUEST FOR INFORMATION IS, I JUST DON'T -- I JUST FEEL LIKE

332
01:33:50.683 --> 01:34:08.416
IT'S A GREATNJUSTICE FOR A VERY WEALTHY PROPERTY OWNER TO LAY SO MUCH NEGLIGENCE ON TO THIS COMMUNITY.  AND DON'T PAY

333
01:34:08.416 --> 01:34:25.316
THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS.  YOU OWE BACK PEOPLE MONEY IN A LOT MORE. I THINK IT'S A PART OF WHAT THE MOTION GETS AT.  I'M INTERESTED IN CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION BUT WANTED TO GIVE MY THOUGHT IN REAL TIME AS THE DISCUSSION IS EVOLVING.  AND WITH RESPECT TO

334
01:34:25.316 --> 01:34:41.633
YOUR COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, AS WELL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU.  I HAVE A QUESTION FOR CLERKS AND THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.  WHO HAS THE POWER OF THE PURSE?

335
01:34:41.633 --> 01:34:59.283
>> MADAM CITY ATTORNEY? >> AH, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD ATTORNEY LEADING QUESTION.  THE CITY COUNCIL HAS THE POUR OF THE PURSE. >> THANK YOU. >> DOES AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBER HAVE THE POWER OF THE PURSE. >> AH, AGAIN, NO.  THE CNCIL

336
01:34:59.283 --> 01:35:15.116
AS A BODY. >> SO AS A BODY, WE HAVE THE POWER OF THE PURSE.  NOT AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBER. COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR MOTION.  MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT -- AND I'LL READ IT FOR THE PUBLIC. IT'S REQUESTING THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR A LEGAL

337
01:35:15.116 --> 01:35:34.216
ANALYSIS OF WHAT PATHWAYS MAY BE OR MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS RECOUP FROM THE APPROPRIATE ENTITIES, THE CITY'S COSTS RELATED TO THIS. >> IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT OF SAYING IT'S A MEMO WE'RE ASKING FOR, CORRECT. >> THAT IS CORRECT.  IT'S BEEN

338
01:35:34.216 --> 01:35:50.116
REVIEWED WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY. >> YEP. >> WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE WHEN WE'RE ASKING OR EXPANDING FUNDING AND WANTING TO NOW HOW WE CAN RECOUP THE DOLLARS BACK. >> THANK YOU.  THERE'S ASKING FOR A MEMO.  NOTHING IS HAPPENING HERE.  BUDGET DIRECTOR, CAN YOU LET US KNOW

339
01:35:50.116 --> 01:36:10.950
WHAT THE CURRENT BUDGET DEFICIT IS HEADING INTO THE EXIN YEAR. NEXT YEAR. >> DIRECTOR. >> CHAIR PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ.  DEPUTY CFO, JANE

340
01:36:10.950 --> 01:36:29.183
JANE I DID ZEN DISA.  THE CURRENT -- WE GAVE A RAKE WITH CURRENT EXPENSES AND REESTATED REVENUES ABOUT $28 TO $33 MILLION. >> THANK YOU.  WHO IS GETTING THIS $2.5 MILLION.

341
01:36:29.183 --> 01:36:46.316
>> THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A QUESTION FOR ME. >> ANYBODY.  . >> I BELIEVE THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN.  I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE FOR THE CHANGES.  IT'S ADDRESSED

342
01:36:46.316 --> 01:37:05.333
TO THE FINANCIAL RECEIVER OR OTHER PARTIES THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO ASSIST WITH THE RELOCATION. >> DIRECTOR H HANSEN.

343
01:37:05.333 --> 01:37:20.983
>> DISCENZA NAILED IT.  FOR THE RELOCATION SERVICES AND RELOCATION FUNDERS.  WE'LL BE WORKING THROUGH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROCESS THAT DIRECTER SAYER MENTIONED.  PROVIDING RESOURCES FOR RELOCATION.  SO THAT COULD BE ANY ORGANIZATIONS

344
01:37:20.983 --> 01:37:25.783
LIKE MPHA, RED CROSS, HENNEPIN COUNTY, OTHER AGENCIES THAT HELP

345
01:37:25.783 --> 01:37:52.383
WITH RELOCATION.   FAR AS IF THERE'S ANY RENOVATIONS NEEDED

346
01:37:52.383 --> 01:38:09.750
TO RELATED TO THE RELOCATION. THAT'S ACTING AS THE OWNER FOR THE PROPERTY AT THIS POINT IN TIME. >> THANK YOU.  YEAH, SO THE MOTION, AT LEAST, SINCE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING.  IT'S SO MANY VOTES HAPPENING.  AT LEAST THE MOTION I'M REQUESTING A THEM EMP MEMO IT

347
01:38:09.750 --> 01:38:27.383
SEEMS PRAGMATIC AND MAKES SENSE TO ASK FOR A MEMO TO POTENTIALLY RECOUP THE COST, IF IT'S GOING TO THE RECEIVER WHO HAS ISSUES. AND HAS REALLY MADE A BIG IMPACT TO THE RESIDENTS IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS AT HERITAGE PARK. SO I THINK WE CAN -- IF WE'RE

348
01:38:27.383 --> 01:38:43.250
GIVING AWAY $2.5 MILLION TO THE RECEIVER OR THOSE WHO HARMED THE RESIDENTS ON OUR SITE.  I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO GET A MEMO AND SEE HOW WE COULD POSSIBLY RECOUP THE COSTS.  IT'S NOT REQUIRED TO.  I THINK IT MAKES SENSE GIVEN THE BUDGET DEFICIT.  IF IT WAS RENTAL ASSISTANCE OR THE

349
01:38:43.250 --> 01:38:59.783
MONEY WAS GOING TO THE RESIDENTS, AND CASH IS GOING TO THE RESIDENTS TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR ANTI-DISPLACEMENT OR FUNDING TO MOVE INTO A DIFFERENT PLACE.  THAT'S A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.  I WOULDN'T BE INTERESTED IN RECOUPING THE COST.  IF IT'S GOING TO THE RECEIVER, I THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT WE GET THE INFORMATION TO SEE HOW WE CAN RECOUP THE

350
01:38:59.783 --> 01:39:16.283
COSTS.  IF IT'S GOING TO THOSE. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> THANK YOU.  THERE'S NO AMOUNT

351
01:39:16.283 --> 01:39:34.516
THAT CAN HELP OUR RESIDENTS THAT ARE STRUGGLING IN THE CONDITIONS.  WE'VE SEEN THE VIDEO COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN POSTED.  I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A -- I WASN'T HERE ON TUESDAY. MY APOLOGIES.  MY COMMENT IS THAT THE CITY DEPARTMENT WH

352
01:39:34.516 --> 01:39:47.283
WHO OVERSEES RENTAL LICENSING HAS TO DO BETTER.  WE HAVE 3-1-1.  WE ARE LETTING THIS GO ON.  AND THIS IS WHAT WE END UP

353
01:39:47.283 --> 01:40:10.083
WITH.   I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, THERE'S MORE APARTMENTS LIKE THIS IN OUR CITY.  THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER PROCESS THAT THE VIOLATIONS  THAT ARE BEING -- THAT HAVE GONE AND ADDRESSED.

354
01:40:10.083 --> 01:40:27.283
IF YOU NEED MORE STAFF TO DO -- SERVICES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRE INSPECTOR IS GOING THERE AND CHECKING THE BOXES NECESSARY FOR HUMAN BEINGS TO BE IN THAT CONDITION.  LET US KNOW DURING THE BUDGET.  REQUEST THOSE. WE'LL HAPPILY ADD THOSE STAFFS.

355
01:40:27.283 --> 01:40:43.383
IT'S A FAILURE ON THE CITY DEPARTMENT, IN MY OPINION.  THEY GOT TO DO BETTER.  WE HAVE TO BE AGGRESSIVE ON LANDLORDS WHO ARE ABUSING OUR RESIDENTS.  I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THE TEAM THREE

356
01:40:43.383 --> 01:40:59.383
PROPERTIES THAT COME.  COME IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL.  THE REASON WE EVEN DID THAT, FOR THEM TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. RIGHT.  YOU'RE COMING FOR A LICENSE AND WANT TO RENT IN MINNEAPOLIS.  YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS.  WE EXPECT THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR PEOPLE

357
01:40:59.383 --> 01:41:18.016
TO LIVE IN THOSE.  IN A BASIC NEED.  A LIVABLE CONDITIONS. BUT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PAYING FOR.  THIS IS SOMETHING WE GOT TO DO BETTER.  SO ENFORCING THE

358
01:41:18.016 --> 01:41:33.216
POLICIES ON THE BOOKS AND NOT JUST IGNORE IT OR NOT JUST DOCUMENT IT.   3-1-1 HAS TO BE A MEANING.  THERE HAS TO BE CONSEQUENCES.  CITY HAS TO TAKE ACTION.  WHATEVER IT LOOKS LIKE. AND WHAT I KNOW SO FAR, THE

359
01:41:33.216 --> 01:41:50.150
MPHA DOES INSPECTIONS.  AND, YOU KNOW, IN THAT ITSELF TOO I'M SURPRISED.  AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE IF AN INDIANAPOLIS HAS

360
01:41:50.150 --> 01:42:09.183
TAKEN PLACE.  IF YOU ARE PAYING THE VOUCHER OR THE RENT OF THE UNIT.  YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT. WHAT UNIT YOU'RE PAYING FOR. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE RESIDENTS ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE LEAST VOICE HERE.  WE ARE THE RESPONSIBLE OVERSIGHT

361
01:42:09.183 --> 01:42:26.050
GOVERNMENT FOR CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS.  WE HAVE TO DO BETTER AS COUNCIL MEMBERS.  I'M GLADLY HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THE BUDGET ITEMS YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT LANDLORDS THAT A

362
01:42:26.050 --> 01:42:42.783
PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT-RISK. I APPRECIATE COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN IN BRINGING THIS FORWARD. THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY ONE. I HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, COLLECTIONS OF APARTMENTS THAT HAVE HEALTH AND SAFETY VIOLATIONS IN MY WARD.  BUT THANKS A LOT.

363
01:42:42.783 --> 01:43:00.450
>> SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE. I'LL REMIND FOLKS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AS FAR AS WRAPPING OUT THE VOTES.  WE'LL TAKE UP THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE.  I'M LABELING THAT ITEM 3.4.  AFTER THAT, WE'LL TAKE UP THE MOTION TO THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR A

364
01:43:00.450 --> 01:43:16.783
PRIVILEGED MEMO.  I'LL LABEL THAT ITEM 3.5.  AFTER WE COMPLETE THE VOTES, WE'LL FINISH A VOTE OF THE FULL PACKAGE, SO WITH THAT, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL ON ITEM 3.4, THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ASKING FOR

365
01:43:16.783 --> 01:43:37.250
REGULAR REPORTING. >> AYE. [ AWAY FROM MIC ] >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> AYE. >> SHAFFER. >> AYE. >> WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> WHITING. >> AYE. >> CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> STEVENSON. >> AYE. >> RAINVILLE. >> AYE. >> VETAW. >> AYE. >> PALMISANO. >> AYE.

I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> NO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER.

367
01:43:54.750 --> 01:44:13.616
>> NO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE . >> NO. >> VETAW. >> NO. >> PALMISANO. >> NO. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> AYE. >> PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE SEVEN AYES AND FIVE

368
01:44:13.616 --> 01:44:29.883
NAYS. >> THAT CARRIES.  AND THEN NOW 'LL TAKE UP THE PACKAGE AS A WHOLE.  ITEM NUMBER 3 FOR HERITAGE PARK.  I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> GO AHEAD.

369
01:44:29.883 --> 01:44:46.316
>> IS STAFF HERE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR THE MONEY AFTER? >> WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A VOTE, MR. PRESIDENT. >> HE'S IN QUEUE.  IT'S A REASONABLE QUESTION. >> WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ASK

370
01:44:46.316 --> 01:45:03.450
QUESTIONS.  DIRECTOR HANSEN, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE THE PLAN AFTER THE FUNDING IS DISTRIBUTED.  JUST -- >> PRESIDENT PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, WE'LL BE WORKING UNDER THE DIRECTION OF DIRECTOR SAYER AND THE TEAM SHE'S ASSEMBLED.  AND THEY'LL IDENTIFY NEEDS AND THEN WE'LL WORK THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE

371
01:45:03.450 --> 01:45:19.816
PROCESS TO DESIGNATE THOSE FUNDS FOR THOSE NEEDS. >> PERFECT.  THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER -- >> JUST AUESTION. >> DID YOU SAY ME? >> UH-HUH. >> OH, THANK YOU.  I'M JUST WONDERING ABOUT THE MOTION THAT WE'RE AT NOW.  WAS THIS MADE BY

372
01:45:19.816 --> 01:45:36.983
COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN? >> MR. PRESIDENT, WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THE BODY NOW IS WHAT CAME OUT OF COMMITTEE.  SO THE MOTION THAT WAS ON THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT INCLUDED THREE SUB PARTS.  NUMBER ONE,

373
01:45:36.983 --> 01:45:52.416
THE DELEGATION OF THE AUTHORITY. THEN THE APPROVAL OF THE $2.5 MILLION FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND TO FUND THAT ACTIVITY AS ALREADY DISCUSS. AND THEN, ALSO, AN AUTHORIZATION FOR THE EXECUTION OF ANY NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO IMPLEMENT

374
01:45:52.416 --> 01:46:10.616
THAT DECISION. >> OKAY.  SO BY COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN AND SECONDED BY WHOM? >> IT WAS MOVED FOR APPROVAL DURING THE COMMITTEE REPORT. >> OKAY.  ALL RIGHT.  THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> YEAH.  JUST READING OUR

375
01:46:10.616 --> 01:46:27.316
DEFINITION HERE.  IS THIS -- ARE WE TAKING A VOTE ON THREE AS IT FITS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE SUB PARTS AS A WHOLE?  OR ONE THROUGH THREE? >> MR. PRESIDENT, I THINK IT'S -- I THINK WE'RE VOTING ON THE ITEM THAT CAME OUT OF C.O.W., PARTS ONE, TWO, THREE.

376
01:46:27.316 --> 01:46:44.616
WE DEALT WITH FOUR AND FIVE ALREADY. >> OKAY.  YEP. >> THANK YOU. >> OKAY.  SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE, DO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON?  CLERK WILL CALL THE ROLL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> AYE.

378
01:47:02.050 --> 01:47:19.383
>> THAT CARRIES.  AND THAT COMPLETES THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT.  WE HAVE THE AMENDED RESOLUTION FOR ITEM NUMBER ONE FROM C & I THAT THE CLERKS HAVE DILIGENTLY PUT TOGETHER.  AND WE CAN REVISIT THIS.  IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION

379
01:47:19.383 --> 01:47:35.083
REMAINING DISCUSSION ON ITEM NUMBER ONE FROM THE C & I REPORT, LYNDALE RECONSTRUCTION? SEEING NONE. >> DO WE NEED TO MOVE IT? >> DOES THIS NEED TO BE MOVED, MR. CLERK? >> THE STANDING MOTION THAT WE

380
01:47:35.083 --> 01:47:51.350
WERE WORKING ON AMENDING WAS ALREADY OFFERED BY STEVENSON ON BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE.  SO I ASSUME WE HAVE THE MOTION IN PLACE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> OKAY.  SO WE WILL BE VOTING ON ITEM NUMBER ONE AS AMENDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON AND

381
01:47:51.350 --> 01:48:09.050
CHOWDHURY. >> CORRECT.  WHICH IS MARKED REVISED IN YELLOW HIGHLIGHTING. >> SEEING -- COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> WHAT IS THE PLAN THAT KEEPS

382
01:48:09.050 --> 01:48:22.883
LYNDALE AVENUE THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW?  WHAT IS THAT?  IS THAT -- IS THAT THIS?  OR WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?  I'M SO CONFUSED BY ALL OF THE DIFFERENT MOTIONS THAT HAVE COME FORWARD

383
01:48:22.883 --> 01:48:41.983
ABOUT LYNDALE AVENUE.  AND IF IT -- THE DESIGN -- IF IT CHANGES ANYMORE, IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A DETRIMENT.  I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER THIS, BUT DURING THE TIME THAT WE HAD, THE EMERGENCY AT

384
01:48:41.983 --> 01:48:58.183
ANNUNCIATION.  MY KIDS ATTEND SCHOOL RIGHT ON LYNDALE AVENUE. THEY GO TO STONEBRIDGE.  THAT MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, WE ALREADY HAVE A SINGLE LANE OF FRICKEN TRAFFIC.  THERE ARE AMBULANCES

385
01:48:58.183 --> 01:49:15.250
FLYING.  TRYING TO GET PAST. AND THERE'S NOWHERE FOR CARS OR ANYONE TO GO BECAUSE YOU ARE IN ONE LANE.  YOU'RE -- THERE'S NOWHERE FOR YOU TO PULL OVER TO GET AWAY.  YOU CAN'T JUMP UP ON THE MEDIAN IN YOUR CAR, YOUR

386
01:49:15.250 --> 01:49:32.283
SUV, YOUR NOTHING.  THERE'S NOWHERE FOR YOU TO GO.  AND I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.  BECAUSE AS SOON AS I WOULD MOVE AND TRY TO MAKE A QUICK DIP TURN OFF INTO THE NEXT BREAK OF A STREET TO GET AWAY FOR THE -- LET THE EMERGENCY

387
01:49:32.283 --> 01:49:50.150
VEHICLES PASS.  I WAS -- I WOULD TRAVEL BARELY A HALF A BLOCK BEFORE HEAR COME COME -- HERE COMES SOME MORE.  THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR TRAFFIC TO GO. NOWHERE!  THEY WERE ON BOTH DIRECTIONS OF THE STREET TRYING TO HURRY UP AND GET THERE TO

388
01:49:50.150 --> 01:50:06.883
SERVICE OUR BABIES WHO WERE IN DANGER.  LEAVE THESE STREETS ALONE!  MY GOODN GOODNESS!  WE'VE DONE ENOUGH TO HENNEPIN.  THE MAIN THINGS IN

389
01:50:06.883 --> 01:50:23.250
THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, YOU GOT TO GET EMERGENCY VEHICLES THROUGH THERE.  YOU GOT TO GET TO PEOPLE QUICKLY.  THERE'S ALL OF THOSE. I GET THE TRAFFIC CALMING.  I RESPECT THE TRAFFIC CALMING.  I RESPECT THE OVERSATURATION OF OMISSIONED AIR AND ALL THE

390
01:50:23.250 --> 01:50:39.616
CUMULATIVE AIR QUALITIES.  I'M AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FELLOW. I RESPECT THAT.  THE TREE C CANOPIES, EVERYTHING.  MAN, WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE THE STREETS ALONE.  I WANT TO GO WITH WHATEVER THE PLAN IS.  THIS IS LEAVE THE STREET ALONE!  MY

391
01:50:39.616 --> 01:50:58.050
GOD!  I JUST WANT TO DRIVE DOWN -- THESE PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING AT ME.  I WANT TO DRIVE DOWN A NORMAL STREET.  AND I WANT OUR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS TO BE ABLE TO GET TO PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY.  I GET THE BIKE LANES.  I GET ALL OF THAT STUFF.

392
01:50:58.050 --> 01:51:15.050
I GET THE EVERYTHING.  I'VE BEEN TO OTHER CITIES.  THEY GOT BIKE LANES, TWO-LANE TRAFFIC ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.  ONE SIDE.  SO PEOPLE CAN MOVE AND YOUR BIKE BIKE BIKES, SCOOTERS, WHATEVER IT IS.  YOU HAVE A TWO-LANE STREET.  IT'S

393
01:51:15.050 --> 01:51:32.250
CUTE.  THEY GOT THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND EVERYTHING.  IT'S CUTE.  AND IT'S, LIKE, REAL POSH AND EVERYTHING.  LIKE, IT'S NICE.  IT'S REALLY NICE.  LEAVE THESE PEOPLE IN THE STREET ALONE!  I DON'T KNOW IS THAT THIS PLAN?  I DON'T KNOW.  I'M CONFUSED.  I JUST WANT THE PLAN

394
01:51:32.250 --> 01:51:49.416
THAT'S NO THANK YOU TO ANYMORE CHANGES TO LYNDALE.  HENNEPIN IS ALREADY STRESSFUL ENOUGH.  AND I JUST -- I JUST WANT TO LEAVE LYNDALE.  LYNDALE NORTH SIDE IS JACKED UP.  I WANT LYNDALE TO BE LEFT ALONE.  LIKE, LET LYNDALE

395
01:51:49.416 --> 01:52:05.550
BE LYNDALE!  MY GOODNESS. >> COUNCIL MEMBER -- >> THE END. >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> THA YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.  IT SEEMS LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN AND I TOTALLY AGREE THERE SHOULD BE A BUS LANE THE FULL LENGTH OF LYNDALE SO BUSES AND EMERGENCY

396
01:52:05.550 --> 01:52:22.850
VEHI VEHICLES CAN PASS QUICKLY.  UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE NOT BEING PRESENTED WITH THE PLAN.  WE'RE THE CITY AND GIVING MUNICIPAL CONSENT.  AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKE TO DRAWN UP THE PLAN MYSELF AND DEAL WITH IT AT THIS COUNCIL.  IT'S NOT HOW IT

397
01:52:22.850 --> 01:52:38.950
WORKS.  SO, YEAH.  THIS IS -- THIS IS THE PLAN.  THIS IS THE PLAN THAT THE COUNTY CAME UP WITH.  THEY LISTENED FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS TO FOLKS COMING OUT AND TALKING ABOUT THE STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, AND HOPES

398
01:52:38.950 --> 01:52:54.483
AND DESIRES FOR LYNDALE.  UMM, A LOT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.  AND I LIKE TO -- I'D LIKE TO SAY A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE AROUND THERE IN MY WARD AND IN WARD 10. PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HIT BY CARS

399
01:52:54.483 --> 01:53:11.416
AND KILLED ON THIS ROAD.  PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED, PEOPLE WHO DON'T -- DON'T CSS THE ROAD BECAUSE IT'S SO DANGEROUS. SO THEY FEEL HEMMED IN, IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AS OPPOSED TO GOING

400
01:53:11.416 --> 01:53:27.016
TO THE OTHER.  THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS WHY THE UPDATE IS HAPPENING.  I PERSONALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE IT GOES NEARLY FAR ENOUGH.  THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS TO DEAL WITH CONGESTION.  TO DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT WE'RE ALL IN HERE

401
01:53:27.016 --> 01:53:43.250
COUGHING UP A LUNG BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH SMOKE OUTSIDE BECAUSE CARBON POLLUTION HAS HEATED UP THIS EARTH TO THE POINT WHERE OUR FORESTS CAN NO LONGER EXIST IN THE WAY THE DO. I MEAN, THIS IS -- THIS IS CLIMATE ACTION RIGHT HERE.  AND

402
01:53:43.250 --> 01:54:00.916
WE ARE IN A CLIMATE EMERGENCY. SO I AM BEGGING, I'M ASKING FOR MY COLLEAGUES TO PLEASE GIVE MUNICIPAL CONSENT SO THAT WE ARE LURCH MAKING THEM DRIVE UP THE COSTS EVEN FURTHER, AND

403
01:54:00.916 --> 01:54:17.050
POTENTIALLY THREATENING THE FEDERAL FUNDS SO WE CAN BUILD THE COMPROMISED PROPOSAL. FRANKLY, DOESN'T GO NEARLY FAR ENOUGH FOR ME.  THAT'S WHAT LISTENING IS.  LISTENING IS HEARING FROM ALL SIDES OF THE COMMUNITY, ALL SIDES OF THE STAKEHOLDERS, AND COMING UP WITH

404
01:54:17.050 --> 01:54:34.183
SOMETHING THAT CAN WORK.  AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PROPOSAL IS. SO I AM ASKING, PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF MY RESIDENTS, FOR THE SAKE OF THEESIDENTS IN WARD 10, PLEASE APPROVE THIS SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH A

405
01:54:34.183 --> 01:54:51.183
SAFER, MORE LEGIBLE LYNDALE THAT GIVES TRANSIT IROVEMENTS SO THAT EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND BUSES CAN SKIRT BY WHEN THEY NEED TO.  THAT GIVES SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, THAT EXPANDS GREEN SPACE, THAT EXPANDS SIDEWALK CAFES FOR SOME OF OUR SMALL

406
01:54:51.183 --> 01:55:07.783
BUSINESSES.  THERE IS SO MUCH TO LIKE IN THIS PROPOSAL.  AND THERE'S SO MUCH THAT IT LEAVES TO BE DESIRED.  BUT I AM ASKING FOR E SAKE OF MY RESIDENTS IN WARD EIGHT AND FOR THE SAKE OF RESIDENTS IN WARD 10, THAT WE PLEASE APPROVE THIS SO WE CAN

407
01:55:07.783 --> 01:55:24.183
MOVE FORWARD IN THE MOST FINANCIALLY SOUND WAY.  AND GET THE STREET THAT WE NEED REBUILT AND GET THE STREET REBUILT AFTER 92 YEARS. >> JUST THE LAST COMMENT FOR ME

408
01:55:24.183 --> 01:55:45.483
HERE. LOOKING FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WE THINK ABOUT THEM AND THE OUTCOME AND JUST IMAGINE, THIS CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING AND WE'RE CELEBRATING, WEAVE THE SAFETY BUS LANE, ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS.

409
01:55:45.483 --> 01:56:03.283
I WAS SUGGESTING NOT TO CLOSE THE WHOLE ROAD BUT THERE IS A MAJOR PROJECT AND IT IS NOT LIKE YOU CAN OPEN ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WILL SUPPORT -- I THINK IT'S WORTH INVESTMENT. IF YOU

410
01:56:03.283 --> 01:56:18.783
LOOK AT IT, YOU KNOW, LET'S NOT FORGET OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY. I ENCOURAGE THE COUNTY AND THE CITY TO FIND A WAY TO SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES AND THE PROJECT, THE COUNTY WHO IS RUNNING THE PROJECT ACTUALLY GIVE THIS IN

411
01:56:18.783 --> 01:56:36.050
PHASES. DO IT IN A PHASE WAY THAT YOU CAN CONNECT WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, HAVE MEETINGS WITH THE COMMUNITY, HAVE BETTER SIGNAGE OF WHERE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO GO, SUPPORTING THE BUSINESSES THAT WAY AND INSTEAD OF CLOSING AND LEAVING THERE WITH YEARS, YEARS

412
01:56:36.050 --> 01:56:53.316
TO COME. I WOULD DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE THE COUNTY AND THE CITY TO FIND A WAY SO WE CAN MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF BUSINESSES, BECAUSE WE WANT THE BUSINESSES TO COME BACK. WE'RE

413
01:56:53.316 --> 01:57:08.683
BUILDING THE ROAD FOR THAT REASON, FOR PEOPLE, FOR BUSINESSES, FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BUSINESSES GET AS MUCH SUPPORT AS THEY CAN. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO, YOU KNOW,

414
01:57:08.683 --> 01:57:26.716
WORK WITH AND WITH THIS PROJECT, FINDING AMENDMENTS AND AMENDING SOME OF THE MOTIONS WE SEE WHICH ARE PRETTY IMPORTANT. OVERALL, IT'S WORTH THE INVESTMENT TO APPROVE THIS. THANK YOU.

415
01:57:26.716 --> 01:57:43.150
>> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, THANK YOU. DOES THIS ALLOW FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO GO THROUGH, ALONG WITH THE RESOLUTIONS IN FRONT OF US TODAY? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCIL

416
01:57:43.150 --> 01:57:59.983
MEMBER CHAVEZ, SENIOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNER WITH PUBLIC WORKS. THIS PLAN DOES NOT CHANGE THE LANE CONFIGURATION THAT IS OUT THERE TODAY. IT MAINTAINS FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE ROADWAY AS A CENTER TURN

417
01:57:59.983 --> 01:58:15.783
LANE, WHICH ALSO ALLOWS FOR SPACE FOR VEHICLES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES, OR FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO USE THAT CENTER TURN LANE. WHERE THERE ARE CENTER

418
01:58:15.783 --> 01:58:31.783
MEDIANS, WE WORKED WITH EMERGENCY SERVICES AND FIRE TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN BE NAVIGATED AND DRIVEN OVER, SO THEY ARE MOUNTABLE. BOTH ACROSS THE INTERSECTIONS WHERE THE MEDIAN

419
01:58:31.783 --> 01:58:49.550
SPANS THE INTERSECTION AND ALONG LYNDALE AVENUE. >> THANK YOU, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC WAS NOT GIVEN MISQUOTES ON WHAT CAN HAPPEN HERE. EMERGENCY VEHICLES CAN STILL GO THROUGH. THANK YOU. >> CNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. JUST MAYBE A QUICK NOTE FOR

420
01:58:49.550 --> 01:59:05.350
STAFF HERE AS WELL. QUICKLY, I JUST WANTED TO NOTE PARTICULARLY HOW IT GOES TO THE LOGISTICS OF THIS PLAN AS STATED. I KNOW WE KIND OF HAVE THE REMOVAL OF THE DESIGN MODIFICATION TO ENSURE DRIVE WAY ACCESS AND BUSINESS

421
01:59:05.350 --> 01:59:22.183
OPERATIONAL NEEDS. I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON NOTED THAT IS BECAUSE HENNEPIN COUNTY IS OPEN TO CHANGING THAT DESIGN OR WORKING THROUGH THAT. DOES THE DESIGN THAT IS IN FRONT OF US, BASED ON LYNDALE LAYOUT, ARE

422
01:59:22.183 --> 01:59:39.583
WE GIVING MUNICIPAL CONSENT FOR THAT SPECIFIC DESIGN OR IS IT SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT -- LIKE DOES IT HAVE TO COME BACK TO US FOR MUNICIPAL CONSENT IF THEY CHANGE THE DESIGN OF THE

423
01:59:39.583 --> 01:59:56.283
LAYOUT? >> PRESIDENT PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER, THIS IS A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT. IT'S A MINOR, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN MUNICIPAL CONSENT. IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. THE POINT IS, WITH THE MEDIANS, WHAT WE ASKED THE COUNTY TO LOOK AT IS TO ENSURE

424
01:59:56.283 --> 02:00:13.950
THAT THEY CAN FUNCTION WITH SAY LARGE DELIVERY VEHICLES, AND THOSE OPERATIONAL NEEDS ARE MET. I WANT TO BE CLEAR THOUGH THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT REDUCING OR ELIMINATING THE MEDIANS. THOSE ARE CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURES ON THE PROJECT. REMOVAL OF A MEDIAN

425
02:00:13.950 --> 02:00:30.183
WOULD CONSTITUTE A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE, WHICH WOULD COME BACK TO THE CITY. IN GENERAL, THIS IS A 30% PLAN, MORE OR LESS. IT'S SAYING WHERE THE CURBS ARE GOING TO BE, MORE OR LESS, WHAT FEATURES ARE GOING TO BE ON THE

426
02:00:30.183 --> 02:00:46.283
PROJECTS, SAY BIKE LANES, PARKING, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO THE MEDIAN CONVERSATION, WE WOULD BE ENGAGING THE COUNTY TO MAKE SURE VEHICLES CAN GET IN AND OUT AS INTENDED, SO THE CURB WHERE EXACTLY IT IS MAY MOVE, BUT IT'S NOT SAYING WHETHER OR NOT IF THERE WOULD BE A CURB.

427
02:00:46.283 --> 02:01:04.550
>> SO IT SNDS LIKE ANY MINOR CHANGES WOULD NOT NEED TO COME BAUN TO COUNCIL. SO ANYTHING OVER SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE WOULD. >> THAT IS CORRECT. I WILL ACKNOWLEDGEHAT IS A BIT OF A GRAY AREA, BUT IN GENERAL, THESE DO NOT COME BACK TO COUNCIL. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL.

428
02:01:04.550 --> 02:01:22.383
>> OKAY, SEEING NO ONE ELSE LEFT IN QUEUE, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL ON THE RESOLUTION AS AMENDED. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> NO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> NO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> COUNCILEMBER WHITING. >> AYE. >> SHOUT.

429
02:01:22.383 --> 02:01:38.883
>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >> NO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> NO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> AYE. >> PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE 8 AYES AND 4 NAYS. >> THAT ITEM CARRIES AND THAT

430
02:01:38.883 --> 02:01:55.550
COMPLETES THE CLIMATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT AND WE WILL RETURN TO OUR AGENDA. NEXT WITH THE REPORT OF OUR ENTERPRISE AND LABOR RELATIONS COMMITTEE, WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED BY ITS CHAIR COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, WE HAVE FIVE ITEMS TO BRING FORWARD

431
02:01:55.550 --> 02:02:11.450
TODAY. THE FIRST IS OUR APPOINTMENT OF THE CITY ASSESSOR. THIS IS THE NOMINATION OF REBECCA TO BE OUR CITY ASSESSOR FOR THIS NEXT TERM, ENDING JANUARY OF 2030. ITEM NUMBER 2 IS A RESOLUTION FOR THE

432
02:02:11.450 --> 02:02:28.516
FIRST QUARTER OF QUARTERLY DONATIONS, ITEM NUMBER 3 IS AN ACCEPTANCE FOR COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON'S ATTENDANCE AT A SUMMIT IN DULUTH. ITEM NUMBER 4 IS A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT FOR OUR FIREFIGHTERS,

433
02:02:28.516 --> 02:02:44.183
LOCAL 82. ITEM NUMBER 5 IS A SETTLEMENT OF A WORKERS' COMP CLAIM FOR GENEVIEVE HANSON. I WILL MOVE APPROL FOR THIS FOR REPORT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO HAS MOVED APPROVAL FOR THE REPORT. IS THERE ANY DISCUSON? SEEING

434
02:02:44.183 --> 02:03:01.483
NONE, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> COUIL MEMBER WARREN. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVE >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE.

435
02:03:01.483 --> 02:03:18.083
>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> AYE. >> PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE 12 AYES. >> THAT CARRIES AND THAT COMPLETES THE ELR REPORT. FINALLY WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EQUITY COMMITTEE WHICH WILL BE

436
02:03:18.083 --> 02:03:35.850
PRESENTED BY THE COMMITTEE'S CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT, WE'RE BRINGING FORTH THREE ITEMS. ITEM 1, CONSENT TO THE MAYOR'S NOMINATION OF KAYLA TO THE POINT OF POSITION OF CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSIONER DIRECTOR. ITEM 2, CONSIDERS THE CONTRACT

437
02:03:35.850 --> 02:03:52.950
WITH SKY DEAL FOR A PILOT PROGRAM. THIS ITEM WAS SENT FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION. ITEM 3, ACCEPTS A DONATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO FOR POLICE INSPECTOR MOLLY FISHER TO ATTEND THE POLICING LEADERSHIP ACADEMY. MOVE APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 3 AND I WILL PULL OUT FOR

438
02:03:52.950 --> 02:04:09.983
DISCUSSION ITEM 1 FOR A MOTION AND 2 FOR DISCUSSION. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ HAS MOVED ITEM 3 IN THE REPORT AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE EACH ONE OF THESE UP SEPARATELY SO COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, DO Y WANT TO MAKE A MOTION FOR ITEM NUMBER 1?

439
02:04:09.983 --> 02:04:25.350
>> I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 1 AND I WANT TO THANK DIRECTOR KAYLA FOR STEPPING UP FOR THIS FRESH TERM AS A PERMANENT CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR. I'M THANKFUL FOR HER WORK AND I

440
02:04:25.350 --> 02:04:41.383
WANTED TO SEND MY KUDOS. >> OKAY. WE HAVE ITEMS 1 AND 2 MOVED -- SORRY, 1 AND 3 MOVED FOR APPROVAL. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THESE ITEMS? COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I

441
02:04:41.383 --> 02:05:00.083
WISH I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE IT PREVIOUS TO THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CITY ASSESSOR. I HOPE THAT I CAN JUST SPEAK HIGHLY OF BOTH DIRECTOR KAYLA AND DIRECTOR

442
02:05:00.083 --> 02:05:16.983
REBECCA. REALLY EXCITED TO SUPPORTING TWO PHENOMENAL WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP WHOSE STAFF REALLY JUST LOVE WORKING FOR THE DEPARTMENTS AT THEY'R IN AND THEY'RE FGING AHEAD ON REALLY WONDERFUL WORK. I WANT TO THANK

443
02:05:16.983 --> 02:05:31.783
THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL RIGHTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO APPOINT, IT SEEMS LIKE, TODAY FOR TAKING THE TIME WITH ME AND SITTING DOWN AND REALLY TALKING THROUGH ALL OF THE THINGS YOU WORKED ON AND THE VISION FOR THE FUTURE AHEAD. I THINK IT'S AN AMBITIOUS VISION

444
02:05:31.783 --> 02:05:50.116
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO A FUTURE WHER THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT IS A FIRST RESORT FOR ALL MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY IN SEEKING JUSTICE FOR THE NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE AID IN. AS IT COMES TO REBECCA, I WANT T THANK HER FOR OUR

445
02:05:50.116 --> 02:06:06.316
MEETING. SHE BROUGHT HER WHOLE TEAM AND WE WENT THROUGH SOME OF THE WEEDS OF ASSESSMENT IN THE 12th WARD AND THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND IT WAS REALLY VALUABLE FOR ME AND MY STAFF. IT'S A REALLY, LIKE TECHNICAL

446
02:06:06.316 --> 02:06:24.416
AND CUMBERSOME LEVEL OF INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND CITY ASSESSMENTS, BUT HER TEAM DID A PHENOMENAL JOB OF EXPLAING WHAT THAT WAS AND IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO MEET THE ASSESSORS THAT DO THE JOB ON THE GROUND EACH AND EVERY DAY. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL WE'RE GETTING TO APPOINT HER AS SHE IS A LEADER

447
02:06:24.416 --> 02:06:39.950
NATIONALLY ON ASSESSMENT WORK ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND SHE ALSO IS A PROFESSOR IN THIS WORK AND SO, WE JUST HAVE SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP IN OUR CITY AND I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT THEM.

448
02:06:39.950 --> 02:06:56.950
>> SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL ON ITEMS 1 AND 3. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAV. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> AYE.

449
02:06:56.950 --> 02:07:13.766
>> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> AYE. >> PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE 12 AYES. >> THOSE ITEMS CARRY. NEXT WE WILL TAKE UP ITEM NUMBER 2, THE

450
02:07:13.766 --> 02:07:31.900
SKY DEAL CONTRACT. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. FIRST, I JUST WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN HELPING ON THIS PILOT PROJECT. THIS HAS BEEN IN THE MAKING FOR 2.5 YEA. SO, I WANT TO THANK MY TEAM, I WANT TO

451
02:07:31.900 --> 02:07:47.766
THANK D.C. CAMPBELL, WHO HAS A COUPLE OF PROMOTIONS SINCE WE STARTED THIS WORK, SERGEANT, THE PILOT FOR DRONES AND THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT, ANDY, JOHN IN THE MAYOR'S

452
02:07:47.766 --> 02:08:03.300
OFFICE, MINNEAPOLIS FIRE, REGULATORY SERVICES, PUBLIC WORKS, 9-1-1, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF US WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR 2.5 YEARS AND SO, THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE. THEN I WANT TO START MY COMMENTS OUT BY SAYING

453
02:08:03.300 --> 02:08:20.566
SINCE THE DAY I WAS COLLECTrd -- ELECTED, I MADE A COMMITMENT, TO WORK EVERY DAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS THEY FACE, FASTER POLICE RESPONSE TIMES, CLEANER STREETS, AND LESS VIOLENT CRIME. YEAR AFTER YEAR, I HAD TO TELL

454
02:08:20.566 --> 02:08:35.433
THEM THAT WE CANNOT MAKE THE PROGRESS THEY DESERVE BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH OFFICERS ON OUR STREETS. I AM TIRED OF SAYING THAT. I FOUGHT FOR SOLUTIONS, BUT CAME UP SHORT. I AM TIRED OF EXPLAINING THAT WE LOST TWO ADDITIONAL OFFICERS TO

455
02:08:35.433 --> 02:08:52.733
THE NON-FATAL SHOOTING TASK FORCE AFTER COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY'S PROPOSALS PASSED. I'M TIRED OF TELLING RESIDENTS WE LOST AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL POLICING WHEN MY COLLEAGUES VOTED TO END THE CONTRACT WITH KNEW SALEM. I'M TIRED OF EXPLAINING THAT WE CANNOT SECURE MUCH NEEDED

456
02:08:52.733 --> 02:09:09.833
ADDITIONAL CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALISTS BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE VOTES. I AM TIRED OF TELLING NEIGHBORS THEY MUST LIVE WITH THE SAFETY OPERATION CENTER IN FRONT OF THEIR HOMES BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUES ELIMINATED THE OTHER OPTION. MOST OF ALL, I AM TIRED OF WATCHING MY COMMUNITY

457
02:09:09.833 --> 02:09:26.166
ABSORB ONE LOSS AFTER ANOTHER AND THEN FACING MY CONSTITUENTS, KNOWING THEIR CONCERNS REMAIN UNRESOLVED. THEY DESERVE BTER THAN EXCUSES, THEY DESERVE RESULTS. IF I HAD THE POWERO MAKE THESE CHANGES ON MY OWN, I

458
02:09:26.166 --> 02:09:42.133
WOULD, BUT I AM NOT. I'M ONE OF 13 MEMBERS ON THE COUNCIL, MEETING WITH RESIDENTS EVERY DAY, AND THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THE RESPONSIBILITY IS ON ALL OF US TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SAFE. WHAT I AM PROPOSING IS NOT A

459
02:09:42.133 --> 02:09:56.166
PERMANENT SOLUTION, IT'S A FREE 75-DAY PILOT PROGRAM, IT'S A CHANCE TO TEST THE TECHNOLOGY, EVALUATE THE RESULTS, A DETERMINE WHETHER IT WORKS FOR OUR CITY OR NOT. I ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY

460
02:09:56.166 --> 02:10:14.666
AND ACCOUNTABILITY. SKYDIO WILL NOT HAVE THE DATA, IT REMAINS WITH THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT AND EVERY DEPLOYMENT IS DOCUMENTED THROUGH A PUBLIC DASHBOARD THAT SHOWS WHERE THE DRONE WAS USED, WHY IT WAS USED AND HOW IT WAS USED. THIS IS A

461
02:10:14.666 --> 02:10:32.033
PILOT BUILT WITH TRANSPARENCY AND PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE START. I HAVE ALSO HEARD CONCERNS ABOUT SKYDIO'S BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES BUT IF OUR STANDARD IS THAT WE CANNOT WORK WITH ANY COMPANY THAT HAS CONTRACTS WITH A FEDERAL AGENCY WHO HAS

462
02:10:32.033 --> 02:10:46.500
POLICIES WE OPPOSE, WE WILL QUICKLY FIND THAT STANDARD IMPOSSIBLE TO APPLY CONSISTENTLY. THE QUESTION BEFORE US IS, WILL THIS PILOT HELP THE PEOPLE OF MINNEAPOLIS? WILL IT OPERATE UNDER MINNESOTA

463
02:10:46.500 --> 02:11:05.700
STATE LAW AND MINNESOAPOLIS'S POLICIES AND WITH FULL TRANSPARENCY. I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS YES. WHEN I SAW THIS TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATED, I SAW A PRACTICAL WAY TO MAKE BETTER USE OF THE RESOURCES WE ALREADY HAVE. THIS IS NOT ABOUT

464
02:11:05.700 --> 02:11:22.066
REPLACING HUMAN INTERACTION, THIS IS ABOUT GIVING OUR EXISTING PERSONNEL ANOTHER TOOL TO RESPOND MORE QUICKLY AND MORE EFFICIENTLY. TODAY, THE AVERAGE POLICE RESPONSE TIME IN THE FOURTH PRECINCT IS MORE THAN 7 MINUTES. WITH THIS PILOT

465
02:11:22.066 --> 02:11:37.833
RESPONSE TIME FOR ELIGIBLE CAUSE COULD BE REDUCED TO UNDER 2 MINUTES. SO FAR THIS YEAR, THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 7,800 CALLS WHE THIS TECHNOLOGY COULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. ROUGHLY 40 CALLS EVERY DAY. THOSE ARE THOUSANDS

466
02:11:37.833 --> 02:11:55.966
OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET HELP TO RESIDENTS, FASTER WHILE ALLOWING OFFICERS TO FOCUS ON THE CALLS THAT REQUIRE AN IN-PERSON RESPONSE. TAKE THE STORY OF MR. BOB STEWART, AN 82-YEAR-OLD MARINE VETERAN IN WARD 4 RESIDENT WHO WENT MISSING FOR

467
02:11:55.966 --> 02:12:12.366
5.5 HOURS AND WAS EVENTUALLY FOUND HAVING FALLEN INTO SHINGLE CREEK. AFTER A DRONE WAS FINALLY DEPLOYED, IT FOUND HIM IN JUST 9 MINUTES. UNDER THIS PILOT PROGRAM, A DRONE COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE AIR IN UNDER 2 MINUTES,

468
02:12:12.366 --> 02:12:28.133
ONCE THE 9-1-1 CALL CAME IN INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR DEPLOYMENT. IN EMERGENCIES, MINUTES MATTER. WE CAN NEVER KNOW THE OUTCOME OF EVERY CASE BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT GETTING AYES ON A MISSING PERSON SOONER CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

469
02:12:28.133 --> 02:12:45.166
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. IF THIS PROGM SAVES ONE LIFE, IT'S WORTH TRYING. IF IT DOESN'T DELIVER THE RESULTS WE EXPECT, THAT'S WHY IT'S A 75-DAY PILOT PROGRAM. WE EVALUATE IT AND WE MAKE A DECISION BASED ON EVIDENCE. ST. PAUL, DULUTH,

470
02:12:45.166 --> 02:13:01.933
ROCHESTER, MINNETONKA, BROOKLYN PARK ARE ALREADY USING THIS TECHNOLOGY FROM THE SAME COMPANY. MEMBERS OF THIS BODY OFTEN LOOK TO THESE CITIES FOR IDEAS ON POLICIES AND PROGRAMS. MEMBERS OF THIS BODY LOOK TO DULUTH FOR BATHHOUSES AND SAFE

471
02:13:01.933 --> 02:13:17.833
BAYS. MEMBERS OF THIS BODY LOOK FOR RENT CONTROL AND NON-FATAL SHOOTING TASKS RCE. IF WE LOOK TO THEM FOR THOSE INITIATIVES, WHY DON'T WE LOOK TO THEM FOR A TOOL THEY HAVE FOUND SUCCESS WITH AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND

472
02:13:17.833 --> 02:13:33.333
CITY SERVICES. AT TIMES, IT FEELS LIKE MEMBERS OF THIS BODY ARE SEARCHING FOR REASONS TO SAY NO INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR REASONS TO GIVE THIS PILOT A CHANCE, TO MAKE THE OUTCOME OF THIS DECISION HINGE ON WHETHER A COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD

473
02:13:33.333 --> 02:13:49.600
PURCHASES EQUIPMENT FROM THE SAME COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR DECIDING WHETHER OUR RESIDENTS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO A TOOL THAT CAN IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY. AT SOME POINT, WE HAVTO DECIDE

474
02:13:49.600 --> 02:14:07.433
WHETHER OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO REJECT ANY IMPERFECT OPTION OR TO TEST IDEAS THAT CAN MAKE A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE FOR THE PEOPLE WE SERVE. THIS IS ALL ABOUT A PILOT. THAT IS ALL I AM ASKING FOR, A PILOT. THANK YOU.

475
02:14:07.433 --> 02:14:24.566
>> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANKS PRESIDENT PAYNE, I WANT TO THANK THE PUBLIC FOR ENGAGING ON THIS TOPIC. IT ALLOWED ME TO LOOK MORE DEEPLY INTO THIS TOOL. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. FIRST, BEFORE THIS WAS BROUGHT TO COUNCIL, DID

476
02:14:24.566 --> 02:14:41.766
MPD DO ANY DUE DILIGENCE ON SKYDIO'S CONTRACTS OR DO THEY SELL DRONES TO ICE OR OTHER DHS COMPONENTS? >> DEPUTY CHIEF.

477
02:14:41.766 --> 02:14:57.600
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, COUNCIL MEER CHAVEZ, I RUN THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS FOR THE DRONE PROGRAM. >> GOOD MORNING, I'M THE DRONE COORDINATOR FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS

478
02:14:57.600 --> 02:15:15.433
POLICE DEPARTMENT, COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND CHAVEZ, PRIOR TO LOOKING INTO SKYDIO, WE DID DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE. IF WE WERE TO LOOK AT EVERY OTHER COMPANY THAT WE'RE ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFICULT TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES

479
02:15:15.433 --> 02:15:31.400
OR TOOLS, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE AT ALL. WE DID LOOK INTO THEM, BUT MORE SO WE FOCUSED ON THE GOOD THEY WERE DOING AND WE FOCUSED ON THE FACT THAT THEY WERE CONTRACTED PARTNERS WITH ONE OF OUR LARGEST

480
02:15:31.400 --> 02:15:46.800
EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT. >> THANK YOU, AND IN CALIFORNIA, THEY SPENT OVER $1 MILLION IN LEGAL FEES TO WITHHOLD DRONE FOOTAGE, AND LOST AT THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT. HAS MPD REVIEWED THE PUBLIC RECORDS LAW AND HOW IT WOULD APPLY TO

481
02:15:46.800 --> 02:16:05.966
THIS FOOTAGE AND WOULD MPD BE WITHHOLDING DRONE FOOTAGE FROM THE PUBLIC? >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN TRUE LA VISTA BECAUSE WE HAVE SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE. WE HAVE

482
02:16:05.966 --> 02:16:22.400
SAFEGUARDS WITH OUR STATE LAW, WITH OUR DEPARTMENT POLICY. WHAT TRUE LA VISTA DID, THEY OPERATED THEIR DRONES UNDER A BLANKET AS IN THEY WITHHELD ALL THE DATA AS EVIDENTIARY DATA AND WHEN THE LAWSUIT CAME FORWARD, THEY WERE BASICALLY STUCK IN A TIGHT

483
02:16:22.400 --> 02:16:39.833
PLACE. WE'RE NOT LIKE TRUE LA VISTA. WE'RE ALL ABOUT TRANSPARENCY, WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC DASH BOARD, AND WE WILL ABIDE BY STATE LAW BECAUSE STATE LAW REQUIRES US TO DELETE ALL NON-EVIDENTIARY VALUE WITHIN 7 DAYS. IF THERE IS A PUBLIC DATA

484
02:16:39.833 --> 02:16:55.233
REQUEST WITHIN THE MINNESOTA STATE STATUTE, ALL DRONE VIDEO IS CONSIDERED PRIVATE DATA, HOWEVER IF THERE IS ANY VIDEO OF NON-EVIDENTIARY DATA THAT IS GOING TO BE CATEGORIZED, AND

485
02:16:55.233 --> 02:17:12.133
WITHIN SEVEN DAYS, IT HAS TO BE DELETED. IF THERE ARE PUBLIC DATA QUESTIONS WITHIN THOSE SEVEN DAYS, IT WILL BE UP TO THE RECORDS UNIT TO DETERMINE IF THEY CAN RELEASE THOSE VIDEOS. ON THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE SIDE, WE'RE GOING TO ABIDE BY STATE LAW AND THE DEPARTMENT POLICY. >> FLIGHT RECORDS SHOW THESE

486
02:17:12.133 --> 02:17:28.966
DRONES WERE LAUNCHED TO SURVEIL A JANUARY 31ST ICE OUT PROTEST IN LOS ANGELES, WHICH SAW THOUSANDS PEACEFULLY PROTEST AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. WILL MPD FOLLOW SUIT AND USE THESE DRONES TO RESPOND TO 1ST AMENDMENT PROTECTED ACTIVITIES LIKE

487
02:17:28.966 --> 02:17:46.066
PROTESTS, MARCHES, VIGILS, DEMONSTRATIONS, REGARDLESS OF CALL VOLUME. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, WE WILL NOT BE FOLLOWING SUIT. WE WILL FOLLOW WHAT STATE LAW DICTATES WE CAN DO. WE RESPECT PEOPLE'S

488
02:17:46.066 --> 02:18:03.433
1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. AS PUBLIC SERVANTS, THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE HELP PRESERVE PEOPLE'S CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES, BUT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THAT FITS STATE LAW AND OUR DEPARTMENT POLICY ALLOWS US TO, WE WILL UTILIZE THIS TECHNOLOGY TO HELP OUT THE COMMUNITY THE BEST WE CAN.

489
02:18:03.433 --> 02:18:20.400
>> A WIRED ARTICLE STATES A DRONE FOLLOWED TWO YOUNG MEN IN THEIR CAR, AT LEAST ONE OF THEM WHO IS DESCRIBED IN POLICE RECORDS BEING IDENTIFIED AS A SUSPICIOUS PERSON IN A VEHICLE AND THEN TWO MEN EMERGED ON TO A BASKETBALL COURT AND STARTED PLAYING, AND THE DRONE DEPARTED.

490
02:18:20.400 --> 02:18:36.500
HOW DOES MPD FEEL ABOUT THIS? >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, FOR AN INCIDENT LIKE THAT, WE WOULDN'T BE UTILIZING DRONES FOR A SITUATION LIKE THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR POLIES ARE, BUT I CAN ONLY SPEAK TO OUR POLICIES. WE WOULDN'T BE OPERATING DRONES IN THAT SITUATION.

491
02:18:36.500 --> 02:18:53.900
>> GIVEN THAT MANINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS SPENT MONTHS DOCUMENTING UNMARKED SURVEILLANCE AND ICE ACTIVITY, HOW COULD THIS NOT BE MISTAKEN

492
02:18:53.900 --> 02:19:11.100
FROM AERIAL SURVEILLANCE IN THE AYES OF MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS, BESIDES THE POLICE MARKINGS THAT ARE HARD TO IDENTIFY IN THE AIR. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY DETECTION SYSTEMS AT ALL. WHETHER A DRONE IS IN THE SKY, NO ONE IN THE

493
02:19:11.100 --> 02:19:26.233
CITY IS GOING TO KNOW WHETHER IT'S A POLICE DRONE, WHETHER IT'S A FEDERAL ONE, OR IT'S A RECREATIONAL USER. WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST TO THE COMMUNITY WITH CONCERNS IS THAT THEY IDENTIFY A

494
02:19:26.233 --> 02:19:42.466
DRONE IN THE AIR, THEY HAVE CONCERNS, THEY CAN CALL US AND WE CAN GO OUT THERE AND DOCUMENT IT. I AM IN CHARGE OF THE DRONE PROGRAM SO I WILL OVERSEE ALL THE REPORTS AND I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THEM THROUGH THE MARSHALS OR THE FAA. I WILL FOLLOW UP ON ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

495
02:19:42.466 --> 02:20:00.000
>> WILL DRONE DATA BE INCLUDED IN THE MPD REPORTS TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT MONITOR SO RACIALLY DISPARENT PATTERNS ARE TRACKED FROM DAY ONE AND NOT AFTER. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, ALL OF THE DATA, ALL OF THE METRICS WE

496
02:20:00.000 --> 02:20:15.600
ARE GOING TO BE DOCUMENTING, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE DOCUMENTING RACE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WE WILL BE DOCUMENTING DRONES BASED OFF OF BEHAVIORS. THAT'S WHAT STATE STATUTE DICTATES FOR US TO DO. >> OKAY, THE CONTRACT THAT MPD

497
02:20:15.600 --> 02:20:33.233
WILL BE SIGNING WITH THIS STATES THAT SKYDIO'S USE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IS GOVERNED BY THE COMPANY'S PRIVACY POLICY. THE PRIVACY POLICY STATES THAT IT DOES NOT GOVERN HOW THEY COLLECT, USE, AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO

498
02:20:33.233 --> 02:20:49.333
CUSTOMERS WHO USE THE TYPE OF SERVICE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. SO IF THE PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT GOVERN SKYDIO USE OF SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION, I

499
02:20:49.333 --> 02:21:06.566
KNOW THAT SKYDIO CLAIMED THEY WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO DATA. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT GOVERNS SKYDIO'S COLLECTION USE AND SHARING OF PERSONNEL INFORMATION THAT THEY MAY COLLECT IN ANY ANS? >> THERE IS ONLY SECONDS LEFT. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL HAVE TO RETURN

500
02:21:06.566 --> 02:21:22.833
TO THAT QUESTION. COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. ALSO, THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ FOR HIGHLIGHTING AND RAISING SOME FURTHER CONCERNS WITH SKYDIO THAT REALLY SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE CITY'S OVERALL VALUES AND I HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT ABOUT MY SKEPTICISM

501
02:21:22.833 --> 02:21:41.333
AND CONCERNS ABOUT MPD'S DRONE USE, WHICH IS WHY I BROUGHT FORWARD THE ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS US TO HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS WHEN MPD IS SEEKING TO PURCHASE NEW TECHNOLOGY, SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY, SUCH AS THE ONE WE'RE PROPOSED TO CONSIDER TODAY. THAT SAID, I DO

502
02:21:41.333 --> 02:21:58.366
THINK THAT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT AS WE GO FURTHER INTO THE ITEM TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT MPD HAS THE ABILITY TO STILL PURCHASE DRONES AND ALREADY HAVE DRONES.

503
02:21:58.366 --> 02:22:12.300
MPD CAN AND WILL LIKELY PURCHASE THEIR OWN DRONES WITH THEIR BUDGET FOR AS LONG AS THE MAYOR ALLOWS THEM TO. WE CANNOT STOP THEM AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I LEVEL SET THAT BECAUSE IF YOU STILL SEE DRONES IN THE AIR AND THINK COUNCIL TOOK UP THIS ITEM

504
02:22:12.300 --> 02:22:31.233
REGARDLESS OF THE VOTE OUTCOME, I THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THOSE. THEY DO HAVE THESE IN THEIR POSSESSION. COUNCIL HAS THE RIGHT NOW TO VOTE THIS CONTRACT DOWN, KNOWING THAT THE VENDOR HAS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF

505
02:22:31.233 --> 02:22:47.900
HAVING SOWED WEAPONS THAT KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE. THERE ARE NO REASONS TO CONTRACT WITH COMPANIES THAT SHOWN A DISREGARD TO LIFE, INCLUDING THE OCCUPATION THAT TOOK THE LIVES

506
02:22:47.900 --> 02:23:04.333
OF TWO OF OUR RESIDENTS, AND CREATED LIFELONG TRAUMA FOR A NORTH MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENT WHO WAS ALSO SHOT AND WE HAVE SEEN IN RECENT DAYS, SEVERAL OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC BE KILLED AT THE HANDS OF ICE.

507
02:23:04.333 --> 02:23:20.800
IT WOULD BE NO CHANCE WHY WE WERE ASKED TO CONSIDER THIS TODAY. [APPLAUSE]. >> THIS IS AND BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT WE'RE SEEKING OUT THAT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE VALUES OF OUR RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY. I AM NOT IN SUPPORT OF DRONES OVERALL. ONE OF THE MAIN REASON IS BECAUSE I DO NOT

508
02:23:20.800 --> 02:23:36.700
TRUST MPD'S ABILITY TO PRACTICE AND ENFORCE GOOD POLICY AROUND DATA COLLECTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S BEEN NOTE IN THE EMOTION RECENT ELEFA REPORT, WHERE THEY HAVE FOUND THAT MPD WAS NOT ABLE

509
02:23:36.700 --> 02:23:53.000
TO USE FACEBOOK IN AN ETHICAL CONSTITUTIONAL WAY. WHY WOULD WE GIVE NEW TOOLS WHEN IT'SOT VERY CLEAR AND I DON'T BELIEVE THE ELEFA REPORT SAID THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH BEING ABLE TO USE FACEBOOK EVEN AT THIS

510
02:23:53.000 --> 02:24:09.233
CURRENT MOMENT. WITH THAT SAID, EARLIER THIS YEAR O, GOING BACK TO THE FEDERAL OCCUPATION, RESIDENTS HAVE REPEATEDLY RAISED CONCERNS AROUND WHAT IS THE CITY'S RESPONSES TO SURVEILLANCE PRACTICES, ESPECIALLY IN A WAY

511
02:24:09.233 --> 02:24:24.900
WHICH WE'RE PROTECTING OUR RESIDENTS' PRIVATE DATA WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS HOSTILE AND IS USING A MULTITUDE OF INITIATIVES FROM EXTORTING INFORMATION AND POLITICAL RETALIATION TO TRY TO EXTRACT INFORMATION OF OUR RESIDENTS SO

512
02:24:24.900 --> 02:24:41.733
THEY CAN TARGET THEM. BECAUSE OF THAT, MY OFFICE ACTUALLY BROUGHT FORWARD A LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ASKING THE ADMINISTRATION HOW THEY ARE EMPLOYING DATA PRACTICES TO PROTECT OUR

513
02:24:41.733 --> 02:24:58.533
RESIDENTS AND HOLD ICE AGENTS ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY'RE VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF OUR RESIDENTS, AND IS ENGAGING IN UNLAWFUL BEHAVIOR. DESPITE BEING REQUESTED TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR POLICIES, THE FREY ADMINISTRATION DECLINED TO DO

514
02:24:58.533 --> 02:25:12.600
SO. WE'RE HAVING TO NAVIGATE A HOSTILE FEDERAL GOVERNMT AND WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE FREY ADMINISTRATION AND THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY USE THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOWCASE THAT THERE ARE THOUGHTFUL AND

515
02:25:12.600 --> 02:25:32.400
INTENTIONAL POLICIES SET UP TO CENTER THE SAFETY OF ORDINARY RESIDENTS. I DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT IN THE ABILITY TO ENTER INTO THIS CONTRACT. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A NO COST

516
02:25:32.400 --> 02:25:48.700
AFTER A 75-DAY TRIAL PERIOD WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SAY NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. THAT'S UNREALISTIC. WITH THAT, I AM GOING SO SAY NO. I WANT TO THANK THE HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS THAT REACHED OUT TO COUNCIL TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS, INCLUDING

517
02:25:48.700 --> 02:26:04.966
TO EXCESS -- CAME TO THE COMMITTEE, WE HAD THOSE TESTIFY AROUND THEIR CONCERNS REGARDING THE PILOT. RESIDENTS OVERALL DO DESERVE QUALITY PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES. I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT TOO THAT THERE ARE SO MANY

518
02:26:04.966 --> 02:26:21.133
APPROACHES WE CAN EMPLOY. COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW MENTIONED THE NON-LETHAL TASK FORCE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT IS ALL BASED IN GETTING EXTERNAL

519
02:26:21.133 --> 02:26:38.700
PARTNERS, SPECIFICALLY INVESTIGATORS TO COME AND HELP US. MANY HELP REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE AND DO SIGNIFICANT WORK TO CLOSE CASES OF UNSOLVED SHOOTINGS IN OUR COMMUNITY,

520
02:26:38.700 --> 02:26:55.433
WHICH WE KNOW IS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY, DISPROPORTIONATELY IN BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE SEEN CASE CLOSURE RATES FOR NON-FATAL GO UP BY TRIPLE PERCENTAGES.

521
02:26:55.433 --> 02:27:10.800
THAT'S LESS THAN 2 MILLION. I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE EMPLOYING DATA-BACKED SOLUTIONS, ONE THAT DOES NOT HINDER OR COMPROMISES OUR RESIDENTS' ABILITY, IT GIVES TARGETED RESOURCES TO OUR RESIDENTS. THEY ASK MPD TO USE

522
02:27:10.800 --> 02:27:27.600
YOUR RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY IN A WAY THAT MEETS THE NEEDS, THE SAFETY NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS DOES THAT. THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN GOALPOST ON THE USAGE OF THIS. WE WERE TOLD THIS COULD BE USED

523
02:27:27.600 --> 02:27:44.633
TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL DUMPING. THEN I THINK THERE WERE FURTHER CONVERSATIONS WITH LEGAL EXPERTS TO SHOW THAT MAYBE THAT DIDN'T FIT THE GUIDELINES OF THE STATE STATUTE -- >> POINT OF ORDER. COULD YOU REMIND THE AUDIENCE OF OUR

524
02:27:44.633 --> 02:28:00.233
DECORUM HERE. >> YOU INTERRUPT ME WHEN I TALK. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY HAS NOT FINISHED HER SPEECH. LET'S GIVE HER A MINUTE BACK, BUT JUST AS A GENERAL ADVISORY, COUNCIL

525
02:28:00.233 --> 02:28:17.966
RULES DO NOT PROVIDE COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING TO CONDUCT THE BUSINESS OF THE CITY, IT'S NOT A FORM FOR PUBLIC TESTIMONY OR COMMENTS UNDER THE MINNESOTA OPEN MEETING LAW, THE COMMITTEES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE

526
02:28:17.966 --> 02:28:34.400
PURPOSE OF OBSERVATION ONLY. THOSWHO PURPOSELY DISRUPT OR DISTURB THESE PROCEEDINGS AND INTERFERE WITH THE BODY'S ABILITY TO CONDUCT THE BUSINESS OF THE CITY WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. THOSE WHO REFUSE MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE CHAMBER. CLERK, CAN WE GIVE COUNCIL MEMBER

527
02:28:34.400 --> 02:28:49.300
WONSLEY ANOTHER MINUTE TO COMPLETE HER SPEECH. >> THANK YOU, I SHOULD NOT BE INTERRUPTED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE WHEN I AM SPEAKING SO I RESPECT YOU WHEN YOU SPEAK, I EXTEND THAT TO EVERYONE. I ASK FOR THE SAME CONSIDERATION. SO WITH THAT SAID, I WANT TO BE

528
02:28:49.300 --> 02:29:05.733
VERY CLEAR ABOUT MY CONCERNS AROUND THIS CONTRACT THAT I HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT ABOUT AND THAT THERE ARE TONS OF DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWS THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR US TO ENTER INTO. SO AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK OUR RESIDENTS FOR BEING BOLD AND

529
02:29:05.733 --> 02:29:22.266
PERSISTENT IN RAISING THESE CONCERNS FOR HOLDING US ACCOUNT. THIS REPRESENTS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO NOT SET A NEW PRECEDENCE IN ENTERING INTO WHAT IS A NON-NECESSARY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY THAT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH OUR VALUES, THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THE WELL-BEING OF

530
02:29:22.266 --> 02:29:38.300
OUR RESIDENTS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND I LOOK FORWARD TO VOTING NO ON THIS CONTRACT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> I AM NOT PART OF PHS COMMITTEE BUT I WATCHED THIS LONG PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD WITH

531
02:29:38.300 --> 02:29:55.466
INTEREST AND I WANTED TO ADDRESS THE SUGGESTIONS AND FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED, SPECIFICALLY FROM THE ACLU OF MINNESOTA. AS WE DEPLOY THIS NEW PROGRAM, WE HEARD CONCERNS FROM THE COMMUNITY AND GROUPS LIKE THE ACLU ABOUT BALANCING PUBLIC SAFETY AND PROTECTING PEOPLE'S PRIVACY.

532
02:29:55.466 --> 02:30:12.933
THAT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT BALANCE. THE SERGEANT MENTIONED SOME OF THIS EARLIER AND LATER WE WILL GET BACK TO COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ'S QUESTIONS, WHICH REALLY REFLECT SOME OF THE THINGS WE HEARD IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. I THINK THAT IS

533
02:30:12.933 --> 02:30:29.366
IMPORTANT. I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PILOT PROPOSAL EXCEEDS ALL THRESHOLDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE ACLU. WE ARE ALREADY BEYOND THEIR STANDARDS. MPD HAS OFFERED CLARITY ABOUT THEIR USE OF DRONES AND I WILL SHARE SOME OF

534
02:30:29.366 --> 02:30:43.766
THE SPECIFIC CLARIFICATIONS FOR THE PUBLIC. DRONES WILL BE USED TO RESPOND TO PRIORITY 0 AND 1 CALLS, SUCH AS A PERSON WITH A WEAPON, AN ACCIDENT, AN AUTO THEFT, OR SHOTS FIRED. DURING THE PILOT, A PHYSICAL SQUAD WILL

535
02:30:43.766 --> 02:31:01.400
STILL BE SENT OUT, WILL STILL BE SENT OUT. DRONES WILL NOT BE UTILIZED FOR EVERY 9-1-1 CALL AND WILL ONLY BE AUTHORIZED IF THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT AUTHORIZE THEIR USE UNDER STATE LAW. THE FEDERAL AVIATION

536
02:31:01.400 --> 02:31:18.900
ADMINISTRATION, THE FAA AND STATE LAW DO NOT ALLOW DRONES TO BE USED FOR ROUTINE PATROLS OR SURVEILLANCE, TO HAVE FACIAL RECOGNITION CAPABILITIES, OR TO BE EQUIP WITH WEAPONS. STATE STATUTE MANDATES THAT FOOTAGE

537
02:31:18.900 --> 02:31:35.433
WITHOUT EVIDENTIARY VALUE BE DELETED WITHIN 7 DAYS AND DIFFERENT FROM OUR BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE, DRONE FOOTAGE IS PRIVATE, NODATA. JUST LIKE VIDE EVIDENCE, WHETHER THAT IS

538
02:31:35.433 --> 02:31:51.966
SUBMITTED BY NEIGHBORS OR CAPTURED ON A SECURITY CAMERA, ALL DATA IS STORED IN A WAY THAT IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO MPD. WHAT IS BEFORE US TODAY IS A FREE PILOT PROGRAM. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MINNEAPOLIS TO TRIAL THIS KIND OF TECHNOLOGY,

539
02:31:51.966 --> 02:32:08.166
TECHNOLOGY THAT IS CURRENTLY USED IN ST. PAUL, MINNETONKA, ROCHESTER, DULUTH, AND BROOKLYN PARK TO DETERMINE IF IT WORKS FOR US. THE GOALS OF THIS PILOT ARE TO REDUCE OUR RESPONSE TIMES, CLEAR LOW LEVEL 9-1-1 CALLS WITHOUT OFFICERS BEING

540
02:32:08.166 --> 02:32:24.966
DISPATCHED, INCREASE SAFETY, SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY, SAFETY OF OUR OFFICERS. WE WILL BE TRACKING AND MEASURING THOSE OUTCOMES, SPECIFIC TO OUR CITY. LET'S SEE WHAT THOSE OUTCOMES ARE. WE ALL AGREE THAT DRONES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR UNIFORMED PERSONNEL BUT THIS

541
02:32:24.966 --> 02:32:41.533
PILOT PROVIDES CRITICAL SUPPORT TO A SEVERELY UNDERSTAFFED DEPARTMENT AND NOT ONLY THAT, COMMUNITY SEES SOME GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN RESPONSE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE SEEN DEMOS WITH THESE DRONES THAT DO THINGS LIKE BRING NARCAN DIRECTLY TO SOMEONE IN NEED TO

542
02:32:41.533 --> 02:32:59.266
BE USED BY A COMMUNITY MEMBER. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES. I HAVE SEEN DEMOS WHERE A DRONE DROP A FLOTATION DEVICE WITH SOMEONE STRUGGLING IN THE WATER WITH AMAZING SPEED AND ACCURACY. I WANT THAT. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES A FIRE RESCUE BOAT TO

543
02:32:59.266 --> 02:33:18.600
GET IN THE WATER IN LAKE HARRIET HARRIET? AGONIZINGLY LONG, DANGEROUSLY LONG. IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US SITTING UP HERE, PUBLIC SAFETY BROADLY DEFINED. OUR RESIDENTS

544
02:33:18.600 --> 02:33:34.000
DESERVE POLICE RESPONSE THAT IS AS SAFE AND AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE. IF TECHNOLOGY CAN CLEAR CERTAIN CALLS AND PROVIDE BETTER INFORMATION BEFORE OFFICERS ARRIVE, IT FREES UP OFFICERS TO RESPOND TO OTHER CALLS AND SERVICE THE COMMUNITY

545
02:33:34.000 --> 02:33:52.500
BETTER. OUR FIRST RESPONDERS DESERVE TO KNOW IF THEY ARE TRULY NEEDED. DRONES COULD HELP US AVOID SITUATIONS WHERE PERSONNEL ARRIVE AND ULTIMATELY NO ONE IS THERE. WE HEARD YOU DEPUTY CHIEF CAMPBELL IN YOUR PRESENTATION THAT THERE WERE

546
02:33:52.500 --> 02:34:07.300
33.5 THOUSAND PRIORITY 0 AND 1 CALLS IN THE FOURTH PRECINCT ALONE IN 2025. DRONES COULD RESPOND TO 5,000 OF THEM IN UNDER 2 MINUTES. THAT IS SIGNIFICANT. WE KNOW 5 OTHER

547
02:34:07.300 --> 02:34:23.266
CITIES IN THIS STATE UTILIZE DRONES AND THEY ARE MAKING THEIR COMMUNITIES SAFER. WE HAVE GUARDRAILS AROUND THIS PILOT PROGRAM AND THEY MEET AND EXCEED THE STANDARDS SET OUT BY THE ACLU. I WILL BE VOTING IN SUPPORT OF THIS PILOT AND I AM

548
02:34:23.266 --> 02:34:41.733
REALLY EAGER TO SEE HOW IT HELPS US TO REDUCE RESPONSE TIME AND PROTECT SAFETY OVERALL. I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE TO ESTABLISH THESE GUARDRAILS AND BRING THIS KIND OF TECHNOLOGY TO OUR DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY.

549
02:34:41.733 --> 02:34:57.900
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THIS. THE FIRST QUESTION I

550
02:34:57.900 --> 02:35:15.200
HAVE, HOW WILL THE DRONES THEMSELVES BE CONTROLLED? IS IT CONTROLLED BY HUMAN BEINGS? JUST GO THROUGH THE LOGISTICSES FOR ME. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY,

551
02:35:15.200 --> 02:35:31.300
OPERATIONALLY, THE DRONES WILL BE REMOTELY FLOWN FROM SOMEONE FROM DISPATCH. THE DRONES WILL BE OPERATED. BY SOMEONE, LIKE AN ACTUAL OFFICER FROM DISPATCH. SO

552
02:35:31.300 --> 02:35:47.600
DISPATCH WOULD GET A CALL, WE SEE IT ON THEIR SCREEN, AND THEN THEY WILL ASSIGN IT TO THE DRONE PILOT. THE DRONE PILOT WOULD RESPOND TO THAT LOCATION. WHILE IN ROUTE, AGAIN, THE CAMERA WOULD BE SET AT THE HORIZON AT 180 DEGREES. ONCE IT GETS TO THE

553
02:35:47.600 --> 02:36:04.033
SCENE, IT WILL PAN TO THE LOCATION AND DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE AREA. THAT FORMATION IS THEN RELAYED TO DISPATCH AND OFFICERS ON THE GROUND AND FROM THERE, WE CAN TAYLOR A RESPONSE, ACCORDING TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN. >> GOT IT. SO IT WILL BE OFFICERS CONTROLLING THE DRONE.

554
02:36:04.033 --> 02:36:20.133
>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> AND THEN YOU HAD SAID PREVIOUSLY THAT THESE DRONES WOULD NOT BE IDENTIFIABLE TO OTHER DRONES, IS THAT CORRECT? >> SO, COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, OUR

555
02:36:20.133 --> 02:36:35.933
DRONES CAN SEE OTHER DRONES THAT ARE BROADCASTING WHAT IS CALLED REM REMOTE ID. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S A BEACON. OUR DRONES CAN SEE THEM, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR ALL

556
02:36:35.933 --> 02:36:51.033
RECREATIONAL DRONES OUT THERE. CAN OUR DRONES SEE OTHER DRONES? THAT QUESTION IS YES AND NO, DEPENDING ON THE TYPES OF DRONES. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT RESPONSE. LET ME CLARIFY WHA MY QUESTION IS. WILL THE PUBLIC BE ABLE TO

557
02:36:51.033 --> 02:37:07.800
DISCERN BETWEEN WHAT DRONES ARE USED BY MPD COMPARED TO OTHER DRONES BY OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OR RECREATIONAL DRONES? >> SO, COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, OUR DRONES WILL BE MARKED WITH BLUE AND RED MARKINGS, SO THAT IS ONE IDENTIFIER. SO IF COMMUNITY

558
02:37:07.800 --> 02:37:24.033
MEMBERS ARE LOOKING UP AT THE SKY AND THEY SEE A DRONE, THEY WILL BE MARKED WITH MPD MARKINGS AND THEY WILL HAVE RED AND BLUE LIGHTS TO INDICATE THEY ARE POLICE DRONES. A NORMAL RECREATIONAL DRONE WILL NOT HAVE THE RED AND BLUE LIGHTS. NORMALLY THEY'RE RED AND GREEN.

559
02:37:24.033 --> 02:37:41.666
>> WILL THEY BE DISCERNED FROM OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT DRONES OR OTHER DRONES USED BY SKYDIO, SUCH AS THE ONES USED BY ICE? >> SO COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, A NORMAL PERSON WON'T BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE TWO BUT AGAIN, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO

560
02:37:41.666 --> 02:37:58.333
DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN WHAT WE HAD WITH THE 4TH OF JULY. I WORKED THAT DAY. THERE WERE MAYBE -- WE SAW 15 TO 20 DRONES AND WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY IF THEY WERE PICE DRONES OR IF THEY WERE RECREATIONAL USERS. SO FOR NOW, THERE IS NO STANDARD THAT HOLDS CITIZENS TO THAT

561
02:37:58.333 --> 02:38:15.766
STANDARD OF IDENTIFYING AND MARKING THEIR OWN DRONES. SO FOR NOW, WE JUST HAVE TO ESSENTIALLY IDENTIFY POLICE DRONES AS OUR MARKINGS OR LIGHTS WITH OUR DRONES. >> IF I MAY SPEAK TOO, FOR OUR

562
02:38:15.766 --> 02:38:31.900
IDENTIFICATION PURPOSE FOR OUR DRONES, IT GOES BACK TO THAT PUBLIC-FACING DASHBOARD. SO IF SOMEONE DOES SEE A DRONE FLYING AND THEY WANT -- THEY THINK IT'S AN MPD DRONE, THEY HAVE THE ABLE TO GO ON THE PUBLIC-FACING DASHBOARD, WHICH IS ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. WITHIN 24 HOURS,

563
02:38:31.900 --> 02:38:48.766
THEY CAN SEE THAT IS AN MPD DRONE AND WRE IT WAS FLOWN FROM AND TO, AND FOR WHAT REASON. >> OKAY, I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH BEING ABLE TO DISCERN BETWEEN OTHER LAW ENFORCEMT DRONES AND I THINK

564
02:38:48.766 --> 02:39:04.333
IT PUTS A LOTF ONUS ON EVERY DAY PEOPLE TO DO THAT DUE DILIGENCE. THAT IS JUST A QUICK COMMENT THAT I WILL MAKE. THE OTHER THING IS SINCE MPD OFFICERS WILL BE FLYING THIS DRONE AND LET'S SAY THEY GO

565
02:39:04.333 --> 02:39:22.166
OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF WHAT IS OCCURRING HERE AND DO, LET'S SAY ONE OF THE WORST-CASE SCENARIOS IS SOMEONE IS FOLLOWED AND PROFILED BY A DRONE. WHAT IS THE RECOURSE FOR COMPLAINTS FROM CITIZENS AND OTHER OFFICERS.

566
02:39:22.166 --> 02:39:38.766
>> SO COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, WE ALREADY HAVE POLICIES IN PLACE THAT DICTATE WHAT HAPPENS IF WE IMPROPERLY USE THIS TECHNOLOGY. SO, GOING OFF OF THAT, WE WOULD JUST FOLLOW OUR OWN SOPs, OUR

567
02:39:38.766 --> 02:39:54.766
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, AS WELL AS STATE LAW. >> SO IT WOULD LIKELY GO THROUGH EITHER THE OPCR OR INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS IF A COMPLAINT IS FILED ABOUT MISUSE OF DRONES BY OFFICERS, CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU. I WILL

568
02:39:54.766 --> 02:40:10.433
MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS WITH THE MINUTE AND0 SECONDS I HAVE. BASED OFF OF THAT INFORMATION, I HAVE AOT OF CONCERNS IN OUR ABILITY TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY OVER THESE DRONES, ESPECIALLY SINCE

569
02:40:10.433 --> 02:40:25.700
COMPLAINTS WILL BE MADE THROUGH INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS AND WE GOTTEN A REPORT IN OUR COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FROM THE INDEPENDENT MONITOR THAT THE LIS OR CAL BACKLOG FOR INTERNAL AFFAIRS REMAINS. WE'RE NOT INVESTIGATING THEOMPLAINTS AT

570
02:40:25.700 --> 02:40:42.366
THE RATE WE NEED TO SATISFY THE GOALS OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY ON THIS MATTER OR THE LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY THAT IS NECESSARY AND THAT IS DEEPLY TROUBLING TO ME BECAUSE YOU CAN SAY THAT IT'S

571
02:40:42.366 --> 02:40:58.666
GOING TO FOLLOW THE SCOPE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT IF IT VEERS OUT OF IT, THE RECOURSE IS SLOW, LIMITED, AND DOCUMENTED TO BE OFF TRACK BYYEARS. THE OTHER THING THAT I WILL JUST SHARE,

572
02:40:58.666 --> 02:41:15.066
DURING THE ICE OCCUPATION, TO MY OFFICE, WE HAVE 40 DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF DRONES FLYING ALL THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT RESIDENTS WERE NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY, EVEN IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAA, THE MPD AND

573
02:41:15.066 --> 02:41:31.466
HENNEPIN COUNTY, NO ONE WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEM. MY CONSTITUENTS ARE TRAUMATIZED BY DRONES FLYING OVER THEIR HOUSEHOLDS. THEY DO NOT LIKE THEM. THEY FEEL SURVEILLED. THEY HAVE BEEN FOLLOD BY DRONES. THEY HAVE HAD DRONES SHOW U BY

574
02:41:31.466 --> 02:41:48.000
THEIR WINDOWS AS LATE AS 5:00 A.M., AND THAT'S TO SPEAK SOMETHINGN THAT MY CONSTITUENTS SAY IS TRAUMATIC FOR THEM TO EXPERIENCE. WE WERE STILL UNABLE TO GET ANY RESPONSES ON WHO OPERATED THE

575
02:41:48.000 --> 02:42:04.233
DRONES. >> YOU'RE AT TIME. COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU. I A GOING TO VOTE YES ON THIS JUST LIKE I VOTED ON SOME OTHER PILOT PROJECTS WE DID. WE VOTED TO START A PILOT UNDERSTAND HOW WE CANET A HANDLE ON THAT. IT'S PERFECT FOR

576
02:42:04.233 --> 02:42:20.933
OUR APPROACH TO NON-ARMED PUBLIC SAFETY. ALSO, A PILOT PROJECT FOR NON-INJURY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. ANOTHER MOVE TOWARDS THE GOAL OF MORE AND MORE NON-ARMED PUBLIC SAFETY WORKING FOR US. THE SUCCESS OF THE

577
02:42:20.933 --> 02:42:37.300
V.C.R., THAT STARTED OUT AS A PILOT PROJECT. TOOT VOTE FOR THIS TODAY WOULD BE A REAL LOSS FOR OUR COMMUNITY, NOT JUST IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS WHERE WE CAN HOPE TO START THIS, BUT FOR THE WHOLE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. AS I CONTEMATED THE INFORMATION WE

578
02:42:37.300 --> 02:42:54.966
RECEIVED AFTER ALL THESE WEEKS, THE ONE THING THAT HAS COME TO MY MIND TIME AND TIME AGAIN, IF THIS DRONE PROJECT WAS IN PLACE WHEN WE HAD THE HORRIBLE SHOOTING IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS WHERE OFFICER MITCHER WAS

579
02:42:54.966 --> 02:43:12.000
KILLED, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A DRONE TO ADVISE HIM OF THE DANGER. THE PERSON HE WENT TO HELP KILLED HIM. A DRONE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THAT. I HOPE THAT MY COLLEAGUES SEE THAT WE NEED TO GATHER THIS DATA AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING LAW BASED ON

580
02:43:12.000 --> 02:43:28.933
FACT, NOT FEAR. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> YEAH, CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY THAT THE RHYTHM OF THE DRONE USE. ARE THEY GOING TO BE RESTRICTED TO WARD 4 OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE PILOT IN OTHER

581
02:43:28.933 --> 02:43:46.566
WARDS? I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY. CAN YOU SPEAK AND I MAY HAVE MISSED THAT AND REITETE THAT FOR ME. >> SO PAYCOUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE A

582
02:43:46.566 --> 02:44:02.733
COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER, IT CONTAINS TWO DRONES, AND WILL ONLY OPERATE WITHIN WARD 4. >> GREAT, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THE WARD 4 COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THIS AREA HAS TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY AND LEADERSHIP TO STEP UP AND SAY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MY COMMUNITY WANTS. THIS IS SOMETHING I AM

583
02:44:02.733 --> 02:44:19.366
FAMILIAR WITH AND I'M COMFORTABLE WITH. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON IT FOR 22.5 YEARS. I THINK WE SHOULD RESPOND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE PRIVACY OF HER LEADERSHIP IN THIS TEST. SHE IS FOR IT, JUST LIKE WE'RE SUPPORTING COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN IN HERITAGE PARK, I THINK WE OWE

584
02:44:19.366 --> 02:44:37.366
IT TO OUR COLLEAGUES FOR HER WORK TO ALLOW THIS TO MOVE FORWARD AND SEE HOW HER RESIDENTS RESPOND TO THIS AND LOOK AT THE DATA THAT COMES BACK. I UNDERSTAND THE FEAR AND THE MORAL ARGUMENTS AROUND

585
02:44:37.366 --> 02:44:55.000
SURVEILLANCE AND WHERE IT WAS USE IN VARIOUS CONFLICTS AND FEDERAL CONTRACTS. I GET IT. THERE IS A MORAL ARGUMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE JUST AS STRONG OR STRONGER. WE ARE MUNICIPAL LEADERS FOR THE CITY OF

586
02:44:55.000 --> 02:45:11.500
MINNEAPOLIS. WE NEED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE CITIZENS OF OUR CITY, RIGHT HERE. IF IT'S PROVEN THAT IT CAN SAVE LIVES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT WE ARE FRIENDLY WITH, DULUTH, ET CETERA, THEN I THINK WE DESERVE IT TO COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW TO

587
02:45:11.500 --> 02:45:27.866
SUPPORT HER IN THIS TRIAL AND GET THE DATA. I BELIEVE THE MORAL ARGUMENT TO USE DRONES TO HELP SAVE LOST CHILDREN AND ADULTS, DRONES THAT COULD BE USED AS A FORCE MULTIPLIER FOR

588
02:45:27.866 --> 02:45:43.400
MPD WHEN WE'RE SHORT OFFICERS, DOING MORE WITH LESS, DRONES THAT CAN BE USED AS FIRST RESPONDERS IN UNUSUAL SITUATIONS THAT TAKE TIME AS WE MENTIONED WITH THE WATER RESCUES, AND TAKES AN ELEMENT OF DANGER AWAY FROM THOSE WHO ARE FIRST ON

589
02:45:43.400 --> 02:46:00.966
SCENE. THAT IS A MORAL ARGUMENT I WILL STAND BEHIND FOR THE CITIZENS OF MINNEAPOLIS. I AM THE MOTHER OF A FIRST RESPONDER, I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS DRONE PILOT. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LISTENED

590
02:46:00.966 --> 02:46:20.533
TO THE MEETING A COUPLE WEEKS AGO ABOUT THIS DRONE PILOT PROGRAM. AS YOU CAN SEE, MY NAME IS ON THE CO-AUTHOR. I MADE THE

591
02:46:20.533 --> 02:46:36.166
COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE HELPFUL. I DID CHANGE MY MIND. I WILL TELL YOU WHY I CHANGED MY MIND. NUMBER ONE, I STRONGLY SUPPORT THE PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS IS THE BEST

592
02:46:36.166 --> 02:46:55.033
TOOL THEY HAVE TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS WHY I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS SKYDIO PILOT BECAUSE IT MUST INCLUDE TRUST, ETHICS, AND ACCOUNTABILITY. THOSE ARE MY CORE BELIEFS. WE

593
02:46:55.033 --> 02:47:13.933
ARE HUMAN BEINGS WITH ETHICS. I TALKED TO THE ASSISTANT CHIEF, OUR POLICE LEADERSHIP, AND I EXPRESSED TO THEM I DO SUPPORT POLICE HAVING A TOOL THAT CAN HELP OUR RESIDENTS WHEN THERE ARE CALLS. THEY ALREADY HAVE BO

594
02:47:13.933 --> 02:47:26.433
CAMERAS ON THE BUILDINGS. NOW THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CAMERA IN THE SKY. I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT, RIGHT? IF WE HAVE A POLICY AROUND IT AND A STRONG LEADERSHIP THAT CAN PROTECT

595
02:47:26.433 --> 02:47:45.150
THOSE CONCERNS AND RIGHTS, BUT SKYDIO SUPPLIES DRONES TO THE MILITARY, WHO COMMITTED A GENOCIDE AGAINST PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. THAT IS NOT MY OPINION, THAT IS U.N. HUMAN

596
02:47:45.150 --> 02:48:02.216
RIGHTS OFFICE. LOOK IT UP. THEY ALSO WORK WITH ICE DEPARTMENT, HOMELAND SECURITY ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT SURVEILLANCE. NOBODY KNOWS MORE THAN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, WHAT HAS TAKEN

597
02:48:02.216 --> 02:48:23.516
PLACE IN OUR CITIES. BRINGING OFFENDERS THAT TIES TO MILITARIZED OPERATIONS INTO OUR CITY UNDERLINES THE TRUST THAT WE ARE TRYING TO REBUILD WITH THE CITY, ESPECIALLY IN MAJOR BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS, BLACK

598
02:48:23.516 --> 02:48:40.650
IMMIGRANTS, MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS. I DO NOT TRUST THE SKYDIO. AND I WILL NOT ALLOW FOR THEM TO ARRIVE HERE IN OUR CITY. I SUPPORT EXPLORING TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN HELP, INCLUDING DRONES,

599
02:48:40.650 --> 02:48:58.183
IN OUR FIRST RESPONSE, BUT ONLY WITH A VENDOR THAT HAS NO CONTRACT WITH MILITARIES THAT ARE KILLING OTHER PEOPLE. IT MIGHT BE FAR AWAY, BUT IT IS SEEN ON YOUR PHONES AND WE HAVE

600
02:48:58.183 --> 02:49:15.583
EXPERIENCED LAST WINTER WHAT ICE DID TO OUR COMMUNITY. THOSE DRONES WERE HOVERING ON TOP OF YOU WHEN YOU WERE PROTESTING AND EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS. THESE

601
02:49:15.583 --> 02:49:32.916
ARE THE REASONS WHY I AM VOTING AGAINST AND IT DOES NOT MEAN, LET ME JUST SAY THIS, I AM VO VOTING BECAUSE NOBODY SUPPORT IT, PUBLIC SAFETY THAN ME. SINCE I CAME IN 2020, PUBLIC SAFETY HAD BEEN IN THE CONVERSATION, I

602
02:49:32.916 --> 02:49:48.950
HAVE SUPPORTED OUR POLICE OFFICERS, I HAVE SUPPORTED THE CONSENT DECREE, ALL THIS CHANGE WE NEED TO DO. SO THIS DOES NOT

603
02:49:48.950 --> 02:50:04.416
MEAN WE'RE AGAINST THE POLICE. IT DOES NOT MEAN WE'RE AGAINST PUBLIC SAFETY. TAKING A STAND ETHICALLY AND MORALLY IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I THINK, FOCUSING ON THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, WHAT WE HAVE SEEN,

604
02:50:04.416 --> 02:50:20.916
99% OF THE PEOPLE THAT CAME HERE ARE CLOSE TO THAT, IT'S BECAUSE THEY CARE, RIGHT? WE ARE DISCUSSING THEIR TAXES, THEIR CITY, AND WE SHOULD CONSIDER

605
02:50:20.916 --> 02:50:37.316
THAT. SO THE REASON I'M VOTING AGAINST IT IS BECAUSE OF THE SKYDIO BASICALLY WORKING WITH ICE THAT TERRORIZED MY COMMUNITY AND ALSO WORKING WITH A GENOCIDE MILITARY GOVERNMENT THAT

606
02:50:37.316 --> 02:50:52.850
CONTINUES TO KILL INNOCENT CHILDREN. THAT IS NOT MADE UP, THAT IS A FACT. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. >> I WANTED TO NOTE THAT WE WERE JOINED BY MAYOR FREY AND I WILL RECOGNIZE HIM.

607
02:50:52.850 --> 02:51:08.850
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY. THE ETHICAL AND MORAL STANCE THAT I AM TAKING IN SUPPORT THIS PILOT IS ON BEHALF OF OUR CONSTITUENTS THAT NEED RESPONSE FROM A POLICE OFFICER OR A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS

608
02:51:08.850 --> 02:51:26.316
US TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN REAL-TIME. THIS PROGRAM, WHICH IS MODELED AFTER DOZENS OF OTHER PROGRAMS IN MAJOR CITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND IN MINNESOTA HAS SHOWN TO SAVE LIVES AND REDUCE THE NUMBERS OF CALLS THAT OUR POLICE OFFICERS

609
02:51:26.316 --> 02:51:42.783
NEED TO GO TO. THEY BOTH REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNNECESSARY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND RESIDENTS AND ALSO IMPROVE THE RESPONSE TIME AND THE TIME THAT OFFICERS NEED TO SPEND ON EACH INDIVIDUAL CALL. LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT THIS

610
02:51:42.783 --> 02:52:00.316
LOOKS LIKE PRACTICALLY. A CALL COMES IN FROM A CONSTITUENT SAYING THAT THERE IS AN INDIVIDUAL ON THE CORNER WITH A GUN. WE CAN SEND A DRONE OUT TO THAT LOCATION SOMETIMES WITHIN

611
02:52:00.316 --> 02:52:15.683
60 SECONDS AND THAT DRONE, THROUGH THE CAMERA FOOTAGE, CAN THE OUR POLICE OFFICERS THAT IT'S NOT A GUN AT ALL, IN FACT IT'S A CELL PHONE. THAT FOOTAGE CAN ALERT THE POLICE OFFICER THAT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY

612
02:52:15.683 --> 02:52:31.416
WALKING INTO A VERY DANGEROUS WHERE THEY MAY NEED TO HAVE THEIR HAND ON A GUN. THAT FOOTAGE CAN LET US KNOW AHEAD OF TIME THAT IN FACT THAT POLICE OFFICER IS NOT NEEDED AT ALL AND THEY CAN INSTEAD TEND TO A FAR MORE CRITICAL AND DANGEROUS

613
02:52:31.416 --> 02:52:47.883
SITUATION THAT IS HAPPENING PERHAPS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AWAY. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS NOT NOVEL IN USE BY CITIES. IT IS PRESENTLY USED IN DULUTH, ROCHESTER,

614
02:52:47.883 --> 02:53:04.516
BROOKLYN PARK, MINNETONKA, AND ST. PAUL. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS BEING USED BY NEW YORK CITY, PHILADELPHIA, ATLANTA, LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, CHICAGO, DENVER, AND I COULD GO ON. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS ALSO IN SO MANY

615
02:53:04.516 --> 02:53:20.950
RESPECTS A PART OF THE FUTURE OF WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT IS GOING BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO GET TO A LOCATION FASTER, HELPS SOMEBODY SOONER, AND S, ALSO SAVE LIVES, WHICH BECOMES ALL THE

616
02:53:20.950 --> 02:53:36.316
MORE IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE DOWN OVER 200 OFFICERS WHERE WE HAVE FEWER OFFICERS PER CAPITA THAN VIRTUALLY ANY CITY IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY AND WE NEED TO BE USING OUR TIME AND OUR DOLLARS AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. SO COUNCIL MEMBERS ON MANY

617
02:53:36.316 --> 02:53:53.916
OCCASIONS HAVE RIGHTEOUSLY ASKED FOR GRATEATER SERVICE, FOR QUICR RESPONSE, FOR MORE ATTENTION TO VICTIMS AND THEIR NEEDS. THIS GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DO EXACTLY THAT. COUNCIL MEMBERS, I

618
02:53:53.916 --> 02:54:09.550
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT WILL HELP OUR RESIDENTS. I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT WILL HELP YOU PROVIDE THE CONSTITUENT SERVICE THAT YOU DEMAND OF OUR ADMINISTRATION. THIS IS NOT A SMALL ITEM. IT IS

619
02:54:09.550 --> 02:54:26.883
IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S A FREE PILOT. IT'S A FREE PILOT. IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IN THAT IT GIVES US THE TESTING GROUND FOR FREE WHERE YES, WE CAN EXPAND,

620
02:54:26.883 --> 02:54:43.083
IN FULL TRANSPARENCY, WE WANT TO. VIRTUALLY EVERY CITY IN THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO BE ULTIMATELY GOING IN THIS DIRECTION, I BELIEVE. I DON'T THINK THAT MINNEAPOLIS SHOULD HAVE OUR OWN RESIDENTS AS

621
02:54:43.083 --> 02:55:00.416
COLLATERAL DAMAGE BECAUSE OF GEE POT -- GEOPOLITICS. WE'RE NOT SENDING -- [GAVEL]. >> PLEASE DON'T INTERRUPT. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

622
02:55:00.416 --> 02:55:16.916
REFUSING THIS PILOT, I DON'T BELIEVE SENDS A MESSAGE TO ISRAEL. IT DOES MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY SAFETY TO OUR RESIDENTS IN THIS CITY AT THIS

623
02:55:16.916 --> 02:55:32.916
POINT IN TIME. I RESPECT ALL OF THE ARGUMENTS HERE, INCLUDING THOSE THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH. MY ASK TODAY THOUGH IS THAT WE FIND A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER, TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE AND THE

624
02:55:32.916 --> 02:55:49.516
SAFETY THAT I BELIEVE RESIDENTS, AND BY EXTENSION, COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE DESERVING OF. THIS PILOT, THIS PROGRAM WAS NOT ENTERED IN A HALF HAZARD FASHION. AS COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW CAN ATTEST, I'M SURE SHE WOULD

625
02:55:49.516 --> 02:56:07.016
HAVE LIKED IT TO COME FORWARD EARLIER, YEARS AGO. WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THIS. I'M GRATEFUL TO OUR POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE DONE DUE DILIGENCE TO PUT TOGETHER THE PLAN, ADDRESS

626
02:56:07.016 --> 02:56:24.883
CONCERNS, UNDERSTAND THE LAW. I AM IMPRESSED BY THE WORK. I ASK THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS IMPORTANT PILOT AND THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE SAFETY IN THE IMMEDIACY TO RESIDENTS THAT NEED IT. THANK

627
02:56:24.883 --> 02:56:41.250
YOU COUNCIL MBERS. >>OUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT CONCERNS WITH ICE ARE NOT GEOPOLITICS. SURVEILLING ICE OUT PROTESTS USING THESE DRONES IS

628
02:56:41.250 --> 02:56:57.150
NOT GEOPOLITICS. SURVEILLING PEOPLE WHO ARE PLAYING BASKETBALL IS NOT GEOPOLITICS. HAVING CONCERNS ABOUT THE USE OF THESE DRONES IS NOT GEOPOLITICS, IT IS JUST CONCERNS WE HAVE ABOUT SURVEILLANCE IN OUR CITY. I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT COMMENT. GOING BACK TO MY

629
02:56:57.150 --> 02:57:13.016
QUESTION AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE CONTRACT STATES THAT SKYDIO'S COLLECTION USE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IS GOVERNED BY THE COMPANY'S PRIVACY POLICY. THE COMPANY'S PRIVACY POLICY SAYS IT DOES NOT GOVERN HOW THEY DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR

630
02:57:13.016 --> 02:57:29.583
CUSTOMERS WHO USE THIS TYPE OF SERVICE, WHICH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. SO IF THE PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT GOVERN SKYDIO'S USE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND THE CONTRACTS MENTION PRIVACY RIGHTS, MENTIONING THE PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH DOESN'T GOVERN HERE BASED

631
02:57:29.583 --> 02:57:45.283
ON MY READING, SKYDIO CLAIMED THEY WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO DATA. MY QUESTION IS WHAT GOVERNS SKYDIO'S COLLECTION USE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION THEY MAY COLLECT. >> SO COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, WITH

632
02:57:45.283 --> 02:58:00.433
REGARDS TO THE DATA COLLECTION, THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT, AS WELL AS OUR CITY ATTORNEYS. INITIALLY WHEN WE SAW THE CONTRACT, WE REWORDED IT THAT WAY SO THEY WOULD HAVE NO SAY IN HOW WE COLLECT OUR DATA. SO WE WOULD SET THE

633
02:58:00.433 --> 02:58:17.433
PARAMETERS ON HOW WE WOULD DOCUMENT THESE INCIDENTS, AND THEN FROM THERE THEY ARE JUST HELPING US BASICALLY SET DIFFERENT PARAMETERS TO HELP US OUT. >> SO IT WOULD BE SET AFTER IF THIS WERE TO GET APPROVED? >> FOR ALL OF THE DATA?

634
02:58:17.433 --> 02:58:33.266
>> YES. >> SO, WE WOULD COLLECT ALL OF THE DATA IN-HOUSE AND THEN WE WOULD PRESENT IT TO COUNCIL. >> I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE GUARDRAILS HERE. >> WHAT GUARD RAIL? I'M CONFUSED. I AM GOING TO THE NEXT

635
02:58:33.266 --> 02:58:48.533
ONE BECAUSE I HAVE LIMITED TIME. IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG DURING THE PILOT OR A DATA BREACH, THE CONTRACTS SEEMS LIKE IT GIVE IT IS CITY NO MEANINGFUL RECOURSE, THE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT DOESN'T APPLY TO ANY OF THE SERVICES OFFERED ON THE TRIAL

636
02:58:48.533 --> 02:59:04.400
PILOT OR BETA BASIS. NEITHER THE WARRANTY OR THE DAO WARRANTY UNDER THE TRIAL PERIOD AND SKYDIO'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO A CITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS CAPPED AT

637
02:59:04.400 --> 02:59:21.500
THE AMOUNT THE CITY PAID SKYDIO, WHICH IN THIS INSTANCE, IT'S A FREE TRIAL SO IT'S $0. I AM CONCERNED THAT WE WILL BE FLYING THIS TECHNOLOGY THAT CONTRACTED AWAY OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATIONS.

638
02:59:21.500 --> 02:59:38.466
CAN YOU EXPLAIN UNDER SKYDIO'S TERMS IF A DRONE CRASHES OR CAUSES A DATA BREACH DURING THIS TRIAL, WHAT IS SKYDIO'S ACTUAL FINANCIAL LIABILITY TO THE CITY AND CAN THEY CONFIRM WHETHER THAT LIABILITY IS 0?

639
02:59:38.466 --> 02:59:55.000
>> SO COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, WITH REGARDS TO DATA BREACHES THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, I KNOW THERE ARE CONCERNS. HOWEVER, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY DOCUMENTED CASES THAT I AM AWARE OF ANY DATA BREACHES. HOWEVER, WE ARE WORKING CLOSELYITH OUR I.T.

640
02:59:55.000 --> 03:00:13.400
UNIT AND WE WILL DEAL WITH IT AS IT COMES. FOR NOW, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY DOCUMENTED CASES, AGAIN, WHEN WE'RE UTILIZING THESE DRONES, WE'RE GOING THROUGH AXON, AND WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN USINEING AXON.

641
03:00:13.400 --> 03:00:31.100
EVERYTHING GETS UPDATED THROUGH THEIR SERVERS. >> SECTION 12.2, SKYDIO WILL NOTIFY THE CITY BEFORE COMPLYING WITH A LEGAL DEMAND FOR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BUT ONLY IF LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE. THIS CONTRACT NEVER DEFINES WHAT COUNTS AS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. IT DESCRIBES HOW THAT INFORMATION MUST BE HANDLED

642
03:00:31.100 --> 03:00:48.933
BUT NOT QUALIFIES. SECTION 6 PROHIBITS CUSTOMERS FROM USING SKYDIO DRONES AS WEAPONS, LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR INJURIES. THIS HAS AN EXCEPTION FOR LAWFUL GOVERNMENT ACTION. THAT PHRASE IS NOT DEFINED. WHAT MAKES AN

643
03:00:48.933 --> 03:01:04.466
ACTION LAWFUL FOR A GOVERNMENT TO USE TO CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY, OR WHO MAKES THAT DETERMINATION. THE CITY'S STANDARD CONTRACT DON'T APPLY TO SKYDIO UNLESS SEPARATELY NEGOTIATED IN WRITING THAT INCLUDES ANY COMMITMENTS WE MIGHT WANT FROM SKYDIO AROUND

644
03:01:04.466 --> 03:01:21.433
DATA SHARING GUARDRAILS WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN IT COMES TO ICE ACTIONS, CONSISTENT WITH OUR ORDINANCE, AND SECTION 3.3 CONFIRMS SKYDIO COLLECTS METADATA, AND IMPROVES SKYDIO'S

645
03:01:21.433 --> 03:01:37.833
CURRENT AND FUTURE PRODUCTS. THAT DOESN'T SPECIFY WHEN OR HOW OFTEN THIS IS GENERATED. LASTLY I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO USE THE FLIGHT FOOTAGE WE HAVE HERE. >> YOU ARE AT TIME. COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT PAYNE. I

646
03:01:37.833 --> 03:01:55.066
JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT I AM ENTERING INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD THIS DOCUMENT SUPPLIED BY SKYDIO CALLED PREVIOUS SALES QUESTIONS THAT ANSWERS SEVERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT SKYDIO'S CONTRACTING WITH THE IDF. SO THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. I THINK EVERYONE DESERVES TO KNOW THAT. THERE ARE

647
03:01:55.066 --> 03:02:10.800
SEVERAL CONTRADICTIONS WITHIN THIS DOCUMENT AND IT HIGHLIGHTS THAT SKYDIO IS NOT JUST A SURVEILLANCE COMPANY, BUT IT IS A CORACTOR OF THE WARD. THEY

648
03:02:10.800 --> 03:02:26.733
DO PLAN TO DO SO. I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT OFF THE TOP THERE WAS A MASSIVE SECURITY BREACH JUST THIS LAST WEEK IN SAN FRANCISCO. THIS WAS UNDER THE OPERATION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTNT. SO IT COULD HAPPEN HE

649
03:02:26.733 --> 03:02:42.833
IN ANOTHER MAJOR CITY. WE SHOULDN'T TAKE THAT LIGHTLY. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IS THE FACT THATE STILL DIDN'T ANSWER THE ACCOUNTABILITY QUESTION. THERE VIUALLY IS NOT A WAY TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY ON BREACHES OF THIS SCOPE THAT OUR DEPARTMENT MA HAVE AND THERE HAS BEEN A

650
03:02:42.833 --> 03:03:00.533
PATTERN AND PRACTICE OF MISUSE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THERE JUST HAS BEEN AND WE HAVE THE HISTORICAL BACKLOG. HOW WOULD WE GET RECOURSE? SO, I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR, I AM A NO. THERE HAVE BEEN VERY FEW TIMES WHERE I HAVE

651
03:03:00.533 --> 03:03:17.066
FELT ABSOLUTELY APPALLED AND DISGUSTED BY AN ITEM THAT HAS COME BEFORE ME. I JUST -- LIKE IT IS MY HONEST TRUTH, ESPECIALLY AS A DAUGHTER OF SURVIVORS OF GENOCIDE AND THE

652
03:03:17.066 --> 03:03:33.633
GRANDDAUGHTER OF A LAW ENFORCEMEN OFFICER WHO HAD TO REVOLT AGAINST A GENOCIDAL COUNTRY, IT WAS PAKISTAN AT THE TIME, BACKED BY U.S. MILITARY AID, IT DOES JUST RUN SUPER DEEP AND ANY PARTICIPATION IN

653
03:03:33.633 --> 03:03:49.766
SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY THAT PARTICIPATES IN GENOCIDE ULTIMATELY AIDS AND ABETS AND MY PARENTS DIDN'T COME HERE FOR ME TO SIT ON THIS BODY AND SANITIZE ANY OF MY FEELINGS SURROUNDING

654
03:03:49.766 --> 03:04:06.100
THIS AND MY DEEP HISTORY. THIS ACTION IS MORALLY NKRUPT. IT'S AN ABYSMAL MISTAKE. NOTHING IS FREE. THIS COSTS THE TRUST OF OUR RESIDENTS, THIS COSTS US VALUABLE, VALUABLE INFORMATION.

655
03:04:06.100 --> 03:04:23.333
THIS COSTS US PEOPLE'S SENSE OF FREEDOM. CONSTITUENTS ARE CRYING OUT ALL OF THE TIME, WORRIED ABOUT SURVEILLANCE AND THE IMPACTS OF THIS ICE OCCUPATION EXACERBATING THIS. THIS WAS

656
03:04:23.333 --> 03:04:40.000
FUNDED, THIS ORGANIZATION WAS FUNDED BY THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL OF $514,000 IN 2025 FOR IMMIGRATIONS CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT. I UNDERSTAN WHY SOME MEMBERS OF THIS BODY MAY NOT CARE ABOUT THE RELATIONS TO

657
03:04:40.000 --> 03:04:57.233
THE I.D.F. A ISRAEL RELATED TO THE GENOCID IN PALESTINE. WE ARE TALKING ALSO ABOUT IMMIGRATION CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT. WE CANNOT GOING THROUGH AN ICE OCCUPATION, AND SAY F-ICE, TURN

658
03:04:57.233 --> 03:05:13.066
AROUND AND THE BUILD OUT OUR SUEILLANCE STATE AND SAYING WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SWEETHEART DEAL WITH THE COMPANY THAT IS WORKING WITH ICE, THE SAME ORGANIZATION THAT KILLED OUR NEIGHBORS, BRUTALIZED OUR COMMUNITY, AND SURVEILLED EACH

659
03:05:13.066 --> 03:05:32.733
AND EVERY ONE OF US. THOSE ARE FACTS. I THINK THERE IS SO MUCH TO CONSIDER. I KEEP HEARING THIS IS GOING TO SOLVE OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO

660
03:05:32.733 --> 03:05:48.166
SILVER BULLET TO SOLVE OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PROBLEMS. WE WOULDN'T BE OVERSPENDING OUR BUDGETS IF THAT WASN'T CLEAR. I WANT TO DISPEL THAT ILLUSION THAT A FREE PILOT IS GOING TO SOLVE OUR PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES. I THINK THAT IS UNFAIR TO THE

661
03:05:48.166 --> 03:06:10.000
COMMUNITY TO SET UP THAT PREMISE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I HAVE RECEIVED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF CONSTITUENT FEEDBACK

662
03:06:10.000 --> 03:06:27.666
ON THIS ISSUE, IN FAVOR AND AGAINST THIS PILOT. I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HAS COME WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSU I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS ISSUE TODAY AND THIS PILOT TODAY AND I WANT TO TALK THROUGH IT. I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL

663
03:06:27.666 --> 03:06:44.566
MEMBER VETAW FOR HER LEADERSHIP ON THIS. MY COLLEAGUES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE MADE EXTREMELY VALID POINTS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF A OGRAM LIKE THIS. THE CIVIL LIBERTY CONCERNS, THE OVER-POLICING CONCERNS, THE

664
03:06:44.566 --> 03:07:00.350
CONCERNS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE SOURCING THESE DRONES FROM PARTICULARLY WITH THE ISSUES WITH THE IDF AND WITH DHS AND ICE. A GENERAL HESITANCY TO INTRODUCE THIS KIND OF TENOLOGY AS IT RELATES TO DATA PRIVACY, DATA RETENTION, AND

665
03:07:00.350 --> 03:07:18.300
ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES IN THE BUSINESS OF POLICING AND PUBLIC SAFETY. I BELIEVE IT'S ENTIRELY VALID. I TAKE THOSE CONCERNS SERIOUSLY AND THINK THAT ISSUE ALONE IS WHY WE AS A BODY SHOULD WORK TO FIGURE THOSE OUT. WITH

666
03:07:18.300 --> 03:07:34.400
THAT, IF THIS BODY WERE TO COMMIT THEMSELVES TO A PAID CONTRACT WITH THIS OR ANY OTHER DRONE FIRST RESPONDER CONTRACT, I WOULD N BE SUPPORTING THI MOON. BEFORE THE CITY COMMITS ITSELF TO SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO A PROGRAM SUCH AS THIS, I

667
03:07:34.400 --> 03:07:50.366
THINK MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES AGREE THAT WE NEED A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF THE DATA THAT SUPPORTS ITS EFFECTIVENESS AND WHETHER OUR CURRENT ORDINANCES AND OVERSIGHTS ARE SUFFICIENT TO LIMIT THEIR USE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. I THINK WHAT WE

668
03:07:50.366 --> 03:08:08.566
HAVE SEEN, WHETHER IT'S EFFECTIVE OR NOT EFFECTIVE IS THROUGH A PROGRAM SUCH AS THIS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE POLICS ARE STRONG ENOUGH. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE DATA FROM OTHER MINNESOTA CITIES THAT EMPLOY PROGRAMS SUCH AS THIS, INCLUDING ST. PAUL,

669
03:08:08.566 --> 03:08:24.000
WHICH SEEM TO SUPPORT A LEVEL OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS, BUT WE HAVE ALSO SEEN ACROSS THIS COUNTRY AN ABILITY FOR POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND JURISDICTIONS TO ABUSE PROGRAMS AND TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS THIS. SO IF WE ARE GOING

670
03:08:24.000 --> 03:08:38.666
TO COMMIT OURSELVES TO A PROGRAM LIKE THIS, I THINK WE WOULD NEED A FULL LEVEL OF INFORMATION IN FRONT OF US TO MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION. LUCKILY, WE ARE NOT COMMITTING OURSELVES TO A PERMANENT PAID CONTRACT TODAY.

671
03:08:38.666 --> 03:08:56.033
WE ARE VOTING TO APPROVE A TIME LIMITED PILOT THAT COST ESSENTIALLY $0. THERE IS N SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH, THAT'S ENTIRELY TRUE. I THINK SKYDIO PROBABLY CLEARLY BELIEVES THAT IF THIS CITY WENT FORWARD WITH A PROGRAM SUCH AS THIS, THAT WE

672
03:08:56.033 --> 03:09:11.233
WOULD BE SO IMPRESSED BY THE RESULTS THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO APPROVE A PAID CONTRACT. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY PERMANENT CONTRACT, ANY PAID PROGRAM WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO THIS CITY COUNCIL FOR A FULL VOTE, A FULL SEPARATE VOTE. THIS

673
03:09:11.233 --> 03:09:29.033
KIND OF PILOT, I BELIEVE, CAN GIVE US HARD DATA ABOUT THE POTENTIAL USES OF EFFECTIVENE OF DRONES OR THE OPPOSITE, OR THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF A PROGRAM LIKE THIS FOR A FIRST RESPONR'S PROGRAM IN MINNEAPOLIS AND HELP US AGAIN MAKE A LONG-TERM INFORMED

674
03:09:29.033 --> 03:09:46.800
DECISION ON EFFECTIVENESS. MY REASONING FOR SUPPORTING THIS MOTION IS THAT I THINK IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE OUR CITY SAFER AND SAVE LIVES, A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE POLICE REFORM PROCESS, I BELIEVE IS

675
03:09:46.800 --> 03:10:04.566
REMOVING OFFICERS IN SITUATIONS WHICH THEIR BIAS OR SPONTANEOUS DECISION MAKING DRIVES THEIR THINKING. MORE OR LESS, I BELIEVE YOU CAN'T TRAIN YOUR WAY OUT OF HUMAN FALLIBILITY. SO, WHILE WE TRAIN OFFICERS, WE ALSO HAVE TO ADVANCE ALTERNATIVES TO

676
03:10:04.566 --> 03:10:20.700
TRADITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. AN OFFICER SPEEDING TOWARDS A SHOTS FIRED CALL THAT CAN BE REROUTED BECAUSE A FIRST RESPONDER DRONE REVEALS THAT ACTUALLY NO SHOTS WERE FIRED AND THEY WERE JUST FIREWORKS, I BELIEVE LOWERS THE TEMPERATURE. DRONE PROGRAMS WHEN

677
03:10:20.700 --> 03:10:38.366
DONE WITH STRINGENT RESTRICTIONS, PRIVACY PROTECTIONS, I BELIEVE CAN PROVIDE ON THE GROUND INFORMATION THAT REDUCES THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN OFFICER'S ARRIVAL ESCALATING A SITUATION OR PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT AN OFFICER'S RESPONSE IS ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY. OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS

678
03:10:38.366 --> 03:10:55.566
ON THE NORTH SIDE WHERE THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE DEPLOYED CLEARLY BELIEVE THAT IT COULD SAVE LIVES. I THINK AT LEAST SOME DEFERENCE SHOULD BE SHOWN TO OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT REPRESENT COMMUNITIES THIS WILL

679
03:10:55.566 --> 03:11:12.066
HAVE THE MOST IMPACT. WITH THAT, AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SEEN AND GROWN UP IN THIS THICITY. IT IS REALLY HARD FOR , THE MORAL ARGUMENTS OF WHAT IS COMING UP HERE. I TRULY HEAR IT. I BELIEVE

680
03:11:12.066 --> 03:11:28.433
THE OBLIGATION THAT IS IN FRONT OF ME AS A MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL MEMBER IS TO REDUCE THE HARM FOR MY RESIDENTS. IF THAT IS THE CASE, IF THIS SAVES ONE LIFE OF AN UNARMED BLACK MAN IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS BECAUSE

681
03:11:28.433 --> 03:11:43.000
INSTEAD OF AN OFFICER GOING INTO THAT CALL, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE AS MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS NEED TO TAKE SERIOUS. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS LIVE IN THIS CITY FORY ENTIRE LIFE, I HAVE HAD FRIENDS, TEAMMATES WHO HAVE BEEN LOST TO

682
03:11:43.000 --> 03:11:59.400
GUN VIOLENCE ON THE NORTH 150SI ON THE SOUTH SIDE EVERY SINGLE CORNER OF THIS CITY. IF THIS CAN SAVE ONE OF THEIR LIVES, IT IS WORTH IT. IF THIS -- NOT EVEN ST SAVE THEIR LIVES, IF THIS

683
03:11:59.400 --> 03:12:16.900
GIVES A FAMILY THE ABILITY TO FIND SOME LEVEL OF JUSTICE, SOME LEVEL OF HEY, THIS IS THE PERSON THAT INJURED MY LOVED ONE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER. IF WE APPROVE THIS

684
03:12:16.900 --> 03:12:35.800
PILOT PROGRAM, WHEN IT EXPIRES IN 75 DAYS, I WILL BE LOOKING EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY CLOSE AT THE RESULTS AND AT EVERY SINGLE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK I BELIEVE HAS TO BE AROUND A PROGRAM LIKE THIS BECAUSE I THINK WHILE WE HAVE STATE SAFEGUARDS AND

685
03:12:35.800 --> 03:12:54.966
GUARDRAILS IN PLACE, I DON'T THINK THEY GO FAR ENOUGH. I WANT TO THANK THOSE WHO REACHED OUT TO THIS COUNCIL BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE ARE VALID POINTS ACROSS THIS DAIS AND I AM ENCOURAGED THAT THIS CITY AND THAT MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES ARE

686
03:12:54.966 --> 03:13:15.833
PUTTING WEIGHT TO THOSE CONVERSATIONS. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE COUNCIL MEMBER

687
03:13:15.833 --> 03:13:34.866
VETAW FOR YOUR RESEARCH THE LAST 2.5 YEARS AND ALL THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT WORKED HARD WITH YOU ON THIS PROJECT. IT IS REALLY INTERESTING WHEN MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE HAD INITIALLY STARTED SHARING WITH ME THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING SHE WAS WORKING ON. I WAS VERY, I WAS

688
03:13:34.866 --> 03:13:51.300
VERY PROUD OF HER BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I KNOW THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED. THERE IS THE FACT THAT WE AS AVERAGE

689
03:13:51.300 --> 03:14:04.266
AMERICANS ARE ON CAMERA 35 TO 45 TIMES A DAY. YOU'RE ON CAMERA. SOMEONE IS ALWAYS WATCHING WHAT'S GOING ON, WALKING DOWN THE STREET, FROM THE RING CAMERAS, HERE THERE, WHAT HAVE YOU. NO ONE IS ASKING WHERE THAT

690
03:14:04.266 --> 03:14:23.166
INFORMATION AND DATA IS STORED. NO ONE IS ASKING WHERE ALEXA AND SIRI, WHO IS TRACKING YOU, WHERE THEY ARE STORING THE DATA ON WHERE THEY ARE TRACKING YOU,

691
03:14:23.166 --> 03:14:42.300
WHAT YOU'RE DOING, WHAT'S GOING ON. NO ONE IS ASKING WHO APPLE AND SAMSUNG IS SELLING THEIR PHONES TO. EVERYONE HAS THE SAME

692
03:14:42.300 --> 03:14:59.400
THINGS, LEVI'S AND NIKES TOO. IT'S THE SAME STUFF. WE'RE NO DIFFERENT THE PEOPLE IN THOSE PLACES ARE NOT ASKING WHAT'S HAPPENG IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS OR MINNESOTA. THEY'RE NOT

693
03:14:59.400 --> 03:15:18.000
STANDING UP FOR WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER HERE WHEN THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR IMMEDIATE COMMUNITIES. THEY'RE NOT SAYING DO YOU SELL THAT CUP TO A GIRL IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS? IF SO, I

694
03:15:18.000 --> 03:15:36.800
AM NOT SURE I WANT TO BUY IT. NO ONE IS SAYING THAT BUT US AND THAT'S CKY. WHEN WE HAVE SERIOUS THINGS AT STAKE HERE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON TO BUILD IMBETTERMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND OURSELVES. DRONES

695
03:15:36.800 --> 03:15:52.500
DON'T SHOOT AT PEOPLE UNLESS THEY ARE ARMED WITH A WEAPON. THESE ONES AREN'T. THEY'RE NOT READING YOUR TEXT MESSAGES, BUT YOUR PHONE DOES. THEY'RE NOT LISTENING TO YOUR CONVERSATIONS

696
03:15:52.500 --> 03:16:10.633
UNLESS THEY'RE ARMED WITH AUDIO. THEY'RE GOING TO REPORT ON INCIDENT. THAT'S ALL THEY'RE DOING TO SAY IF THE COAST IS CLEAR SO EMERGENCY OFFICIALS LIKE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN

697
03:16:10.633 --> 03:16:24.466
PULL UP BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO THAT UNTIL THE COAST IS CLEAR, UNTIL THEY KNOW IT'S AN ALL CLEAR, TO SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE. THAT'S IT. I'M JUST ASKING FOR

698
03:16:24.466 --> 03:16:41.300
LIFESAVING OPPORTUNITIES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT IS SUCH A CHALLENGING THING TO THINK ABOUT. MAYBE UNTIL IT'S YOU AND YOU NEED A LIFESAVING MEASURE, YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT

699
03:16:41.300 --> 03:16:57.933
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN THAT IMMEDIATE MOMENT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE, T PREVENT SOMETHING FROM HAPPENING, TO GO ONE STEP FURTHER. I KNOW YOU CAN HECKLE

700
03:16:57.933 --> 03:17:14.100
AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND IT'S FINE AND COOL. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY WHO ARE ASKING FOR THESE THINGS. THERE ARE PEOPLE

701
03:17:14.100 --> 03:17:31.033
IN MY COMMUNITY WHO ARE OPPOSED TO IT. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO A LOT OF THINGS TOO. IT'S A TEST. IT'S TO FIGURE OUT, IT'S RESEARCH. THE BIGGEST THING

702
03:17:31.033 --> 03:17:46.666
THAT IS INTERESTING TO ME IN MY RESEARCH WITH SKYDIO IS THAT THEIR DRONES ARE PRETTY WEAK. ACTUALLY, THE DRONES THAT YOU HAVE AT THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE ALLEGED TO BE A LOT BETTER THAN SKYDIO'S DRONES.

703
03:17:46.666 --> 03:18:05.400
SO WE'RE GETTING A WASHED OUT VERSION RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THE VERSIONS YOU HAVE. WHY AREN'T WE USING THOSE? >> I'LL SPEAK TO THAT.

704
03:18:05.400 --> 03:18:20.866
>> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE AND COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, THE REASON WHY WE'RE NOT GOING WITH OUR CURRENT MANUFACTURER OF DRONES IS BECAUSE A FEW YEARS AGO, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAME UP WITH BASICALLY AN ACT THROUGH THE NDA. BECAUSE OF THIS

705
03:18:20.866 --> 03:18:37.233
AUTHORIZATION ACT, IT BASICALLY QUESTIONED OUR CURRENT FLEET OF DRONES RIGHT NOW. WE UTILIZE DGI DRONES AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS BASICALLY SAYING THEY WANT TO PUT A STOPPAGE ON FCC LICENSES. SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE, EVERY DRONE,

706
03:18:37.233 --> 03:18:54.533
WHENEVER THEY COME THROUGH CUSTOMS, GETS PROVIDED AN FCC LICENSE. BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS QUESTIONED THAT OUR CURRENT FLEET OF DRONES, WHICH IS DGI HAS POTENTIAL SECURITY CONCERNS, THEY PUT A STOPPAGE ON FCC

707
03:18:54.533 --> 03:19:11.600
LICENSES FOR DGI PRODUCTS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE OPTING TO GO WITH MORE NDA COMPLIANT DRONES, WHICH ARE ACKNOWLEDGE TO BE MORE SAFE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. >> SO THE DRONES THAT YOU CURRENTLY ARE USING ARE FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN THESE DRONES?

708
03:19:11.600 --> 03:19:28.366
ALLEGEDLY. >> ALLEGEDLY. [LAUGHTER]. >> OKAY. WELL, WE ARE GETTING A KNOCK OFF. HECK, LET'S TRY THE KNOCK OFF FOR 75 DAYS. I WILL TAKE THE KNOCK OFF FOR 75 DAYS. THANK YOU.

709
03:19:28.366 --> 03:19:43.766
>> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> KNOCK OFF FOR 75 DAYS, THAT SOUNDS GREAT. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CONTEXT THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING THIS IN. I HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS, SO BEAR WITH ME. THE FIRST IS THIS MORNING WE HEARD HONORARY

710
03:19:43.766 --> 03:20:00.933
RESOLUTION ABOUT THE 250th ANNIVERSARY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. SO, IT GOT ME THINKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR FOUNDING DOCUMENTS. SO I JUST WANT TO READ THE 4TH AMENDMENT. THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BE SECURE I THEIR PERSONS, HOUSES, PAPERS, AND EFFECTS AGAINST

711
03:20:00.933 --> 03:20:18.000
UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED AND NO WARRANT SHALL ISSUE BUT UPON PBABLE CAUSE SUPPORTED BY OATH OR AFFIRMATION AND PARTICULARLY DESCRIBING THE PLACE TO BE SEARCHED AND THE PERSONS OR THINGS TO BE SEIZED. WHILE THE COURTS MAY NOT HAVE

712
03:20:18.000 --> 03:20:34.400
FOUND SKYDIO AND SURVEILLANCE DRONES AS EXPLICITLY ILLEGAL TO ME, IT STRIKES ME AS UN-AMERICAN. THIS IS NOT WITHIN OUR CULTURE. THIS IS NOT WITHIN OUR TRADITION TO ALLOW THIS KIND

713
03:20:34.400 --> 03:20:50.866
OF SURVEILLANCE AND IT RUBS ME THE WRONG WAY AND IT RUBS A GREAT, GREAT NUMBERF MIGHT CONSTITUENTS THE WRONG WAY. COU CLEARLY LAID O THE LEVEL OF SURVEILLANCE THAT WE'RE UNDER NOW AND HOW DISTURBING IT IS. IT

714
03:20:50.866 --> 03:21:07.866
IS DISTURBING THAT AMAZON IS NSTANTLY LISTENING TO YOU. IT'S DISTURBING THAT I'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MY PARTNER AB CHILDREN AND THEN GET BABY ADS MOMENTS LAR. THAT'S

715
03:21:07.866 --> 03:21:22.933
DISTURBING. IT'S DISTURBING THAT ICE WAS ABLE TO USE CAMERAS IN OUR CITY TO FOLLOW US DURING THIS RECENT, VERY RECENT OCCUPATION TO REPORT, BRUTALIZE,

716
03:21:22.933 --> 03:21:41.100
AND MURDER OUR ANYBODIES. -- NEIGHBORS. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD ADD TO THAT PROBLEM. SO WHAT CONTEXT ARE WE CONSIDERING THIS IN? IN THE CONTEXT OF MINNEAPOLIS IN 2026. IN MINNEAPOLIS 2026, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAME IN AND OCCUPIED

717
03:21:41.100 --> 03:21:59.366
OUR CITY, THEY HIJACKED OUR PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEMS, AND USED THAT INFORMATION TO STEAL OUR NEIGHBORS AND MURDER OTHER NEIGHBORS. I BELIEVE IT'S NAIVE TO THINK THAT ICE WON'T GET ACCESS TO THE DATA FROM SKYDIO. I CAN'T TELL YOU ECTLY HOW

718
03:21:59.366 --> 03:22:13.966
THEY WOULD GET IT. IT JUST SEEMS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THEY WOULD GET IT, PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT DATA BREACH OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO, I BELIEVE. LASTLY, AGAIN, WE ARE CONSIDERING THIS

719
03:22:13.966 --> 03:22:31.100
IN THE CONTEXT OF A PLACE AND TIME. SKYDIO HAS HELPED PROSECUTE A GENOCIDE IN GAZA. THAT ALONE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INNOCENT LIVES AND I DON'T THINK

720
03:22:31.100 --> 03:22:48.933
WE SULD BE PARTY TO AN ORATION, TO A COMPANY THAT SAYS THEIR TECHNOLOGY USED TO PROSECUTE GENOCIDE IS FINE WITH THEM. SO EACH OF THESE LEVELS OF CONTEXT ALONE FRANKLY IS ENOUGH FOR ME. I HAVE TO BE FULLY HONEST WITH MY CONSTITUENTS.

721
03:22:48.933 --> 03:23:05.533
WHEN THIS FIRST CAME UP, THERE WAS SOME SPECULATION ON WHETHER IT WOULD BE USED TO CATCH PEOPLE DOING THE SMASH AND GRABS THAT WE EXPERIENCE AND ALL ACROSS THE CITY. AT THE TIME, IT WAS A LOT IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. SO I WAS ACTUALLY REALLY CONSIDERING

722
03:23:05.533 --> 03:23:21.933
THIS. I WAS THINKING MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. WHEN WE LISTEN TO THE CONTEXT THAT WE' IN, THE CONTEXT OF AN AMERICAN TRADITION OF FREEDOM FROM GOVERNMENT REPRESSION THAT IS SO UNDER THREAT RIGHT NOW. THE CONTEXT OF A FEDERAL OCCUPATION

723
03:23:21.933 --> 03:23:39.600
AND THE LACK OF DATA SECURITY, AND THE REAL THREAT THAT THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL OCCUPATION, WHETHER AROUND OUR ELECTIONSR ANOTHER SURGE TO STEAL MORE OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND THE CONTEXT THAT THE COMPANY THAT WE'REANTING TO DO

724
03:23:39.600 --> 03:23:55.266
BUNESS WITH PARENTS IN GENOCIDE. THESE THINGS. SO I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS. I WON'T SUPPORT IT. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WOLEY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHING

725
03:23:55.266 --> 03:24:12.666
THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN MENTIONED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO CONSIDER IS Y KNOW, WHEN WE'RE SIDCITING OTHER COUNTRIES AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHICS FOR OUR REASON OF NOT WANTING TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS WITH

726
03:24:12.666 --> 03:24:29.333
QUESTIONABLE GOVERNMENTS AND ENTITIES WHEN THEY DON'T SHOW UP FOR US. I JUST HAD TO SHA MY OWN TESTIMONY THAT CONTRASTS THAT. IN 2020, WHEN GEORGE FLOYD WAS KILLED, THOUSANDS OF US WERE

727
03:24:29.333 --> 03:24:44.966
IN THE STREETS BEING TEAR GASSED BY THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT, I RECALL PALESTINIAN ORGANIZERS REACHING OUT AND ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS FOR THOSE OF US, BLACK FOLKS TO LEARN HOW

728
03:24:44.966 --> 03:25:01.366
WE COULD TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER WHEN WE WERE BEING TEAR GASSED, HOW TO TREAT MUNITION WOUNDS, AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE THINGS THEY EXPERIENCED DAY AFTER DAY EVEN MORE WHILE LIVING UNDER APARTHEID CONDITIONS. SO I DON'T

729
03:25:01.366 --> 03:25:17.466
HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE. I REMEMBER SEEING EVEN UNDER THOSE APARTHEID AND SEGREGATED CONDITIONS, THEY USED THE WALL THAT THE STATE OF ISRAEL HAS USED AS A BARRIER TO CONFINE THEM TO SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS,

730
03:25:17.466 --> 03:25:34.366
EVEN IN THOSE MOMENTS OF US EXPER EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE MOST GRAVEST TRAJDYES THAT THIS CITY HAS SEEN NEXT TO THE FEDERAL OCCUPATION. THEY PAINTED MURALS OF GEORGE FLOYD AND SO MANY

731
03:25:34.366 --> 03:25:50.533
PICTURES OF MINNEAPOLIS IN SOLIDARITY WITH US AND MADE THE CONNECTION OF THE OVER-POLICING BECAUSE MANY OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE ALONGSIDE THE IDF, MADE THE CONNECTIONS TO SAY WE KNOW THE INJUSTICE AND ABUSES WE SUFFER

732
03:25:50.533 --> 03:26:07.800
HERE AND BY THE HANDS OF A FASCIST STATE OF ISRAEL, WE KNOW YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THAT UNDER YOUR RACIST POLICING SYSTEM AS WELL. FOR ME, THAT IS THE REASON WHY I THINK OF THOSE FOLKS WHEN I BROUGHT THE CEASEFIRE

733
03:26:07.800 --> 03:26:24.033
RESOLUTION, WHERE WE EXPLICITLY NAMED AS PART OF THAT RESOLUTION THAT WE WOULD NOT ENTER INTO CONTRACTS OR AGREEMENTS THAT HELP TO FUND AND SUPPORT THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA. THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOMENTS WHERE WE GET TO ACT IN ALIGNMENT

734
03:26:24.033 --> 03:26:40.600
WITH THAT RESOLUTION WE PASSED AND WHEN MAY FREY VETOED IT. I NNOT RESONATE WITH THAT, THAT SENTIMENT IN MY EXPERIENCE. ALSO, I WANTED TO NAME THE

735
03:26:40.600 --> 03:26:57.100
OPPOSITION IS NOT ROOTED IN A VOCAL MINORITY. WE HAD IN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EQUITY COMMITTEE RECEIVED OVER

736
03:26:57.100 --> 03:27:12.333
300 PETITION SIGNATURES, NOT BY MY RESIDENTS, IN WARD 2, NOT BY WARD 9, ALL WARD 4 AND 5, NORTH MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS. THESE PETITIONS HAVE, AND I WILL FORWARD THEM IF THEY ARE NOT

737
03:27:12.333 --> 03:27:28.300
ENTERED INTO THE RECORD, INTO OUR FILE SO THEY CAN BE RECORDED TO SW WHO WAS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THIS PILOT LONG BEFORE WE CONSERED IT AND WHILE WE WERE CONSIDERING IT IN COMMITTEE. I WANTED TO NAME IN TERMS OF WHEN

738
03:27:28.300 --> 03:27:45.700
I AM THINKING OF MY VOTES, I CANNOT SAY OTHER COUNTRIES, OTHER DEMOGRAPHICS WHO HAVE BEEN OPPOSED, WHO KNOW WHAT IT FEELS CONDITIONS, WHY THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR ME. THAT HAS NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE. I ALSO AM GRATEFUL

739
03:27:45.700 --> 03:28:00.766
FOR THOSE NORTH MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS WHO DID COME FORWARD AND SHARED THEIR OPPOSITION WHEN THEY ARE BEING NAMED AS RATIONAL FOR MOVING THIS FORWARD. SO, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT BEFORE WE MOVE INTO FURTHER DISCUSSION

740
03:28:00.766 --> 03:28:17.300
AND VOTE, BUT YEAH. THAT'S ALL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. SO, I AM AWARE THAT THERE WERE SOME NORTH MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS WHO CAME HERE, ALONG CERTAINLY PEOPLE FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE

741
03:28:17.300 --> 03:28:36.500
CITY TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS. I WANT TO BE CLEAR HERE THAT THERE ARE RESIDENTS, THERE ARE BUSINESS OWNERS, THERE ARE BUSINESS OWNERS OF NORTH MINNEAPOLIS WHO ARE CERTAINLY OKAY WITH THIS PILOT PROJECT. WE WOULD NOT BE MOVING FORWARD HAD

742
03:28:36.500 --> 03:28:52.266
WE KNOWN THAT THE NORTH SIDE WAS COMPLETELY AGAINST THIS. ACTUALLY, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED IN SEVERAL POLICE PRECINCTS. THE NORTH SIDE COUNCIL MEMBER JUST DECIDED THAT WE WOULD BE THE ONES BRAVE

743
03:28:52.266 --> 03:29:10.966
ENOUGH TO BRING THIS FORWARD BECAUSE WE KNEW THIS IS WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO, I AM DOING THIS ON BEHALF OF MY CONSTITUENTS. CLEAGUES, I LISTENED CAREFULLY TO YOUR CONCERNS AND REASONS AND MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE NO. I KEEP

744
03:29:10.966 --> 03:29:25.866
COMING BACK TO THE SAME QUESTION, HOW AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS DECISION TO THE PEOPLE I REPRESENT? HOW AM I EXPLAIN TO THE RESIDENTS THAT CALL MY OFFICE EVERY DAY, OFTEN MULTIPLE TIMES WITH CONCERNS THAT THIS PROGRAM COULD HELP

745
03:29:25.866 --> 03:29:43.733
ADDRESS, THAT WE ARE CHOOSING TO NOT EVEN GIVE A CHANCE, THAT MY COLLEAGUES ARE FOCUSED ON EVENTS HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD AND NOT THE NEEDS OF EVERY DAY PEOPLE HE IN MINNEAPOLIS WHO ELECTED U US, WHO ELECT US TO SERVE. I

746
03:29:43.733 --> 03:29:59.333
CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIOUS GIVE THEM THE ANSWER WE ONCE AGAIN SAID NO. THE OBJECTION TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, AROUND THE WORLD, OR HALFWAY ACROSS THE WORLD, NEITHER CHANGES THE QUESTION BEFORE US. THE QUESTION

747
03:29:59.333 --> 03:30:13.566
BEFORE US IS HOW MINNEAPOLIS WILL USE THIS TECHNOLOGY UNDER MINNESOTA STATE LAW AND MINNEAPOLIS POLICIES WITH MINNEAPOLIS RETAINING THE DATA, PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY, AND COUNCIL OVERSIGHT. THAT IS THE DECISION

748
03:30:13.566 --> 03:30:32.833
WE'RE MAKING TODAY. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TELL THE GRANDMOTHER THAT WASARJACKED TAKING HER KIDS TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING THAT WE CARE ABOUT HER. I WANT TO TELL THE FATHER WHOSE AUTISTIC CHILD WHO KEEPS LEAVING

749
03:30:32.833 --> 03:30:49.766
THE HOUSE TO GO TO HISAVORITE PARK IN THE NORTHEAST THAT OUR LLEAGUES CARE ABOUT THEM. I WANT TO TELL THE PEOPLE THAT HEAR GUNSHOTS EVERY DAY, AND HAVE BULLETED HOLES IN THA HOMES AND CARS THAT MY COLLGUES CARE ABOUT THEM. I WANT TO TELL THE BLIND COUPLE

750
03:30:49.766 --> 03:31:07.633
WHO LIVES IN THE McKINLEY NEIGHBORHOOD, WHO ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY THAT MY COLLEAGUES CARE ABOUT THEM. I WANT TO TELL THE BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE SPENDING $5,000 TO $25,000 EVERY MONTH TO KEEP REMOVING ILLEGAL DUMPING

751
03:31:07.633 --> 03:31:23.033
AND GARBAGE FROM THEIR PARKING LOT WHILE ALREADY STRUGGLING TO KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN THAT MY COLLEAGUES CARE ABOUT THEM. I WANT TO TELL THE PEOPLE IN VICTORY THAT CALL 9-1-1 BECAUSE THEY SEE A SUSPICIOUS PERSON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, POSSIBLY WITH

752
03:31:23.033 --> 03:31:39.433
A WEAPON THAT MY COLLEAGUES CARE ABOUT THEM. I WANT TO TELL THE FAMILY IN SHINGLE CREEK WHO ARE WATCHING THEIR CAR GET STOLEN WHILE THEY'RE SITTING AT THE DARREN -- DINNER TABLE THAT MY COLLEAGUES CARE ABOUT THEM. I WANT TO TELL THE WOMAN THAT

753
03:31:39.433 --> 03:31:55.100
MOVED FROM THE CLEVELAND NEIGHBORHOOD FROM ECUADOR WHO WAS ROBBED AT GUNPOINT WHILE WAITING AT THE BUS STOP THAT MY COLLEAGUES CARE ABOUT HER. WHAT I AM ASKING YOU COLLEAGUES IS SIMPLE, GIVE THIS A CHANCE. I'M ASKING YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE

754
03:31:55.100 --> 03:32:11.666
CHALLENGES MY COMMUNITY FACES TO RECOGNIZE THE VOICES OF RESIDENTS I REPRESENT AND TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IF THIS SOLUTION CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AT ITS CORE, THIS IS A REQUEST TO TRY, TO PUT OUR

755
03:32:11.666 --> 03:32:27.766
RESIDENTS FIRST, TEST WHETHER IT'S POSSIBLE AND LET THE RESULTS GUIDE US. I AM NOT IN NO WAY ASKING YOU TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS, A FINAL DECISION. I'M ASKING FOR A CHANCE TO TRY. I AM ASKING FOR YOU TO TAKE ALL THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE FOR 2.5 YEARS, ALL

756
03:32:27.766 --> 03:32:44.966
THE CALLS THAT WE GOTTEN, THAT WE KNOW COULD HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WISHED SOMEONE COULD HAVE SHOWED UP OR SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THEY WERE AT THEIR WORST.

757
03:32:44.966 --> 03:33:01.666
COLLEAGUES, I'M ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING PATIENT AND LISTENING TO

758
03:33:01.666 --> 03:33:14.533
US. I SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL HELP COMMUNITY SAFETY, INCLUDING DRONES. I WOULD SAY GO BACK TO YOUR LEADERSHIP AND COME UP WITH BETTER PLAN OTHER THAN

759
03:33:14.533 --> 03:33:35.700
SKYDIO. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT FOR ME. IT'S EFFECTED BY MY COMMUNITY HERE, SO I REALLY WANT TO TAKE THE TIME AND SAY I SPOKE TO THE MPD LEADERSHIP TO EXPRESS MY STAND. I DO SUPPORT PUBLIC

760
03:33:35.700 --> 03:33:51.633
SAFETY. I SUPPORT COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. I JUST CAN'T DO THIS -- WE CAN'T -- WE JUST CAN'T DO THIS BASED ON THE SAFETY SIDE OF IT. I THINK THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER WAYS THAT WE

761
03:33:51.633 --> 03:34:09.600
CAN SECURE THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS AND DEALING WITH COMPANIES THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF ETHICAL QUESTIONS IS THERE. THERE WAS AN INTERVIEW, A QUOTE, YOU CAN DO A LITTLE RESEARCH. THAT'S HOW I STUDIED

762
03:34:09.600 --> 03:34:27.433
IT. THERE IS A QUOTE FROM THE CEO THAT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE LIMIT OF ETHICS OF SURVEILLANCE, HE REFUSED TO

763
03:34:27.433 --> 03:34:46.866
LIMIT ETHICAL SURVEILLANCE AND COMPANIES LIKE THAT SHOULD NOT BE DEALING WITH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. AGAIN, PLEASE COME BACK. I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN SUPPORT BUT NOT THIS WAY. THANK YOU AGAIN.

764
03:34:46.866 --> 03:35:02.533
>> COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT AS I AM MAKING MY DECISION, I AM NOT LOST HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD. I'M IN THE CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHE DADS WERE DRAGGED OUT OF

765
03:35:02.533 --> 03:35:18.600
THE HOUSEND DRAGGED INTO I DETENTION FACILITIES. IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE GREEN CENTRAL, STUDENTS WERE FORCED TO STAY HOME AND THEY LIVED UNDER TOXIC FEAR FOR MONTHS. IN MY

766
03:35:18.600 --> 03:35:35.733
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IN THE CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD, WHERE RENEE GOOD WAS MURDERED BY OUR GOVERNMENT, AND WHERE MY CONSTITUENT ALEX PRETTI WAS EXECUTED FOR LOVING HIS NEIGHBOR. SO WHEN I MAKE MY DECISION, I AM ROOTED DEEPLY IN

767
03:35:35.733 --> 03:35:54.133
MY COMMUNITY, WITH MY WARD, AND MY CONSTITUENTS. >> SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A MOTION ON THE TABLE. IS THERE A MOTION FOR THIS ITEM? >> SO MOVED.
