BUT I WILL INVITE OUR COO MARGARET ANDERSON-KELLIHER TO START US OFF. WELCOME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, VICE CHAIR KOSKI, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. IT'S GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. THESE
ITEMS ARE ITEMS FROM 2025 THAT WERE IN THE BUDGET. THEY ARE EARMARKS, THEY ARE COUNCIL DIRECTED SPENDING IN SOME CASES. WE HAVE NOTED PARTICULARLY THE EARMARKS IN THIS. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT. VICE CHAIR KOSKI, LATE ON FRIDAY, YOU ASKED ABOUT
METRICS, SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BEGOOD TO GET A COUPLE THINGS OUT OF THE WAY ABOUT THE METRICS AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT OF THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS. SO PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IS A PROCESS THAT NEEDS DATA TO GO WITH US, AND WHAT YOU'RE GOG --
WITH IT, AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THIS PRESENTATION IS A STATUS UPDATE ON THESE 2025 BUDGETED ITEMS. AS EVERYONE CAN REMEMBER, THE BUDGET WAS ENACTED IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, SO IN
MANY CASES, THERE IS NO DATA AVAILABLE YET FOR THESE ITEMS. WE WILL TRY TO NOTE THAT FOR YOU WHERE THERE IS DATA AVAILABLE AND METRICS AVAILABLE THAT GIVE US SOME IDEA, BUT WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH A MEMO ON THAT SO THAT
THE COUNCILMEMBERS CAN HAVE THAT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE REALLY NEED SIX MONTHS TO 12 MONTHS OF DATA TO BE ABLE TO KNOW IF THE PERFORMANCE METCS ARE WORKING. NOW THERE ARE OTHER PERFORMANCE METRICS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, TO
ALL OF YOU AS WELL. AND RIGHT NOW ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO LOOK AT THE MAYORAL DASHBOARD OF PRIORITIES THAT HAS ON IT ALREADY COMMUNITY SAFETY, UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS RESPONSES, CLIMATE ACTION,
RECRUITMENT, OPIOID RESPONSE, AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY. AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF MEASURES OUT ON THAT. SOME OF THOSE CORRESPOND TO THESE ITEMS, BUT THESE ITEMS ARE DISTIT FROM LAST YEAR'S BUDGET. AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S
AWARE OF THAT. SO TODAY'S ORD IS THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE THAT SLIDE BECAUSE THE CITY ATTORNEYAD NO CHANGES TO THEIR BUDGET LAST YEAR. AND THEN COMMISSIONER BARNETTE WILL COME UP AND SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THE FICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. I
WILL THEN RETURN AND TALK ABOUT A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT HAD EITHER ONE TO FOUR OR FIVE CHANGES SM. AND THEN I'LL BE JOINED BY MY COLLEAGUES COMMISSIONER CHAPLAIN SWEGZ
DEPUTY CEO HJELLE SINCE DIRECTOR HANSEN IS ON A MUCH EARNED VACATION, AND THEN DIRECTOR SEXTON IS ALSO HERE. SINCE THOSE THREE ITEM AREAS, HEALTH, AS WELL AS CPED AND THE PW LINE
ITEM, PUBLIC WORKS LINE ITEM HAVE MANY, MANY ITEMS, WE ASK THE DEPARTMENT HEADS TO BE HERE TO PRESENT IN PERSON. SO WE WILL GET STARTED. AGAIN, THE CITY ATTORNEY HAD NO CHANGES TO
THEIR BUDGET OTHER THAN WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED. IT WAS RELATIVELY FLAT BUDGET FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. NO INCREASES. AND I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE, COMMISSIONER BARNETTE.
>> WELME, COMMISSIONER. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR KOSKI AND OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS. GOOD AFTERNOON. I WILL START WITH
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE NO BUDGET ITEMS. THERE FOR EMERGENCY MAPPING LT -- MANAGEMENT AND THAT IS THE SAME FOR EMERGENCYCS
WELL. POLICE OF COURSE HAVE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT I WILL GO THROUGH. AS YOU KNOW, THE AUDIT COMPLIANCE CAPACITY IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. IF YOU VIEWED ELEFA'S COMMUNITY
PRESENTATION OR WERE PRESENT FOR THAT PRESENTATION, THERE THEYGOD THE IMPORTANCE OF IT IS THAT MPD BE ABLE TO AUDIT ITSELF, SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE WERE TWO
FTEs FOR 2025, AND THEN WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO IN 2026. THOSE TWO IN 2025 ARE COMPLIANCE SPECIALISTS. THE NEXT BOX DOWN,
THE FIVE FTEs THERE IS FOR THE CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION ANALYSIS EVALUATION AND MONITORING OF OUR TRAINING CPLIANCE. OUT OF THOSE FIVE POSITIONS, WE'VE HIRED ONE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
SPECIALIST, THREE CIVILIAN INSTRUCTORS, THE JAQ IS COMPLETED, AND WE'RE WORKING ON AN LOA WITH THE UNION. ONE OTHER POSITION, THE TRAINING COORDINATOR POSITION, THE JAQ
HAS BEEN COMPLETED, AND THE POSTING HAS BEEN UP SINCE JULY 21st ON THAT ONE. AS FAR AS THE NEXT ITEM, THE TWO FTEs THERE HAVE BEEN HIRED. THOSE WERE TO BACKFILL TWO CIVILIAN
INVESTIGATOR POSITIONS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN HIRED. ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE. AS YOU KNOW, IN 2025 THE CITYOOK AN APPROACH SIMILAR TO
HENNEPIN COUNTY TO REPLICATE SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS THEY DID IN RESPONSE TO UNSHELTERED RESIDENTS, AND SO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT GOT SOME MONEY I BELIEVE ALSO REC SERVICES AND
PUBLIC WORKS IN THEIR PUBLIC SOLID WASTE GOT SOME IN COORDINATION TO OUR RESPONSE HERE, AND THE MONEY THAT W USED IN MPD WAS TO GET SOME MOBILE LIGHTS AND CAMERAS THAT
ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO MPD. NEXT IS AN FET. W WE'VE HIRED THAT POSITION, AND THAT WAS FOR THE CRIME SPECIALIST THERE. THE
LAST BOX THERE, THE FIVE FTEs FOR CIVILIAN INVESTIGATORS, THREERE THOSE POSITIONS HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWED, TWO ARE PENDING A RESOURCE EVALUATION. AS YOU KNOW,WO POSITIONS WERE
TAKEN OUT AT MPD I BELIEVE TO ND THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE OR MOVE TO THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT WH WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT LOSS. THEN WE MOVE ONTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AS YOU KNOW, A BEHAVIORAL CRISIS
RESPONSE PROGRAM WAS TRANSFERRED TO FIRE. THAT TRANSFEHAS BEEN COMPLETE. I THINK COMING UP THIS THURSDAY TO FULL COUNCIL, THEY'LL BE THE BCR CONTRACT EXTENSION THROUGH AUGUST OF
2026, AND SO THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU. NEXT FOR FIRE IS THE SAFER GRANT. THAT GRAMENT AS -- AS YOU KNOW THAT GRANT IS
FOR THREE YEARS. THAT GRANT WILL END I APRIL OF 2026 SO WE'LL NEED FUNDING FOR THOSE 15 FIREFIGHTERS THAT THE GRANT HAS FUNDEDED FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND THAT'LL BE IN THE MAYOR'S 2026 BUDGET. MOVING ON
TO NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY. AS YOU KNOW IN NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY, BECAUSE I BELIEVE SEVERAL CONTRACTS HAVE COME THROUGH AS PART OF THE MASTER CONTRACT, SO THOSE FIRST COUPLE THAT YOU SEE THERE, WHITTIER, PUBLIC SAFETY RESPONSE, THE MID-TOWN PHILLIPS
BALANCE PREVENTION AND SAFETY SERVICES, THE LONGFELLOW NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY INITIATIVE, AND THE HIAWATHA NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE INITIATIVE, ALL OF THOSE ARE PART OF THAT MASTER CONTRACT
INHE LAST MONTH OR TWO. THE LAST TWO ITEMS THERE, LET EVERYONE ADVANCE WITH DIGNITY, THAT CONTRACT -- THAT HAS BEEN DONE. ALSO THE STAFF CAPACITY WHERE YOU SEE TWO FTEs WERE TRANSFERRED TO NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY. THOSE POSITIONS HAVE
BEEN HIRED. THAT WAS THE BUSINESS DATA ANALYSIS -- ANALYST AND ALSO THE CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR. FOR T OFFICE
OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, ON THUS SLIDE YOU'LL SEE AT THE START, THE SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES WORK GROUP $25,000 THERE HAD COME FROM
ALSO -- WELL LET ME BACK UP MAYBE EXPLAIN IT BETTER. IF Y LOOK AT THE SECOND BOX WHERE IT SAYS CAPACITY BUILDING, THERE W WOULD ASK FOR $50,000 IN THE 2025 BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAD SPENT
ABOUT $100,000 IN 2024 AROUND ENGAGEMENT, WE DID LOT OF ENGAGEMENT AROUND THE SAFETY CENTERS WITH AMANDA HARRINGTON BEING THE DIRECTOR OF DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION. SO OUT OF THAT,
$25,000 WAS APPROPRIATED TO THE SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITY WOR GROUP. THAT WORK GROUP I BELIEVE WILL HAVE THEIR FIRST MEETING THIS MONTH, AND THE REMAINDER OF THE 25 -- OF THE
$50,000 WILL CONTINUE TO USE IN THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FOR THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOTED THERE, WE'LL DO SUPPLIES AND SOME OPERATION EXPENSES AND PRINTING MATERIALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, LIKE WE'VE DONE
BEFORE. THE BACKGROUND CHECK, WE CONTINUE DOING THOSE THINGS WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS. WE MOVED AND PURCHASED SOFTWARE AND IMPLEMENTED THAT SOFTWARE. IF YOU OR YOUR STAFFAVE DONE ANY
OF THOSE BACKGROUND CHECKS, YOU USED TO GET A NICE SIZE BINDER PAPER BINDER TO FILL OUT. WE'VE MOVED THAT SO THAT IT CAN BE DONE ELECTRONICALLY. WE CAN CAPTURE THAT DATA, COLLE IT,
STORE IT AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE MPD APPLICANTS THAT WAY. NEXT TWO POSITIONS THAT WERE TAKEN LAST YEAR WERE BACKFILLED FROM THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. THAT'S DONE. THE LAST
ITEM HERE IS THE NIGHTTIME SAFETY STRATEGIES. WHAT WE DID THIS YEAR WAS WE WORKED WITH MINNEAPOLIS DID TO SCALE BACK OR SCALE DOWN THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT LIVE. E'VE WORKED
WITH OUR INSPECTORS IN UPTOWN AND DINKY TOWN TO INCREASE SOME PATROLS THERE. ALSO WE'RE LOOKING WITH THE U ON SOME OF THEISAFETY INITIATIVE AS WELL. THAT COMPLETES MY PORTION.
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I'M GOING TO JUST, JUST DO QUESTIONS FOR YOU AT THIS TIME, SO THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO -- >> THAT'S FINE. >> -- HANG AROUND FOR A BIT. I SEE COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE IS IN QUEUE. >> TNK YOU, VICE CHAIR KOSKI. YEAH, I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE
SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR BCR. I KNOW THAT THE CONTRACT WAS UNDER ACTIVE NEGOTIATION. IT WAS KIND OF UNCLEAR ON HOW WE MIGHT IMPLEMENT THAT AMENDMENT. CAN YOU JUST UPDATE, YOU KNOW, ARE WE INCORPORATING THOSE PROGRAM COSTS INTO THE NEW CONTRACT? WERE WE ABLE TO DO AN
APPROPRIATION MIDSTREAM? I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE TECHNICAL PLACE WE'RE AT ON THAT. >> CHAIR KOSKI, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, WHAT WE DID WAS THE CONTRACT FOR BCR HAD A
MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR EACH YEAR, SO IT'LL COME TO YOU I THINK THURSDAY IN WHICH WE TOOK THE $945,000 TO INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT SO THAT WE COULD EXCEED THE FUNDING FOR BCR. IN
OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH BCR, THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT WHAT CAN THEY PRESENT FOR ONE TIME FUNDING. I THINK THERE WAS MAYBE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING OR CONFUSION THAT THIS WAS ONE-TIME
FUNDING, AND SO WE'RE WORKING TO FIGURE THAT OUT RIGHT NOW. IF THAT'S HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. >> OKAY. I'LL JUST KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT THAT ACTION LOOKS LIKE IN THE NEXT CYCLE OR SO. >> YES, YES. >>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMBER CASHMAN? >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR KOSKI.
APOLOGIES I GOT HE LITTLE BIT THROUGH YOUR PRESENTATION, COMMISSIONER, SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN JUST REMIND ME WT HAPPENED WITH THE FIFTH PRECINCT CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALIST THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR I DO SEE ONE FETHIRED HERE IN THE CHART. THIS IS ON PAGE 8. HOWEVER.
YOU KNOW, I, YOU KNOW, LIVE IN THE FIFTH PRENCT AND HAVE CHECKED THE WEB SITE OFTEN AND TALKED TO CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALIST AND SEEN THAT A NEW CRIME PRENTION SPECIALIST HAS BEEN LISTED OBAMA WEB SITE OR INTRODUCED IPCOMMUNITIES SO I'M
JUST WONDERING WHERE THAT'S AT. >> LET ME BOW GO BACK TO THAT ONE. >> YES. >> I KNOW THAT MY NOTES, I'M SORRY, CHAIR, CHAIR KOSKI.
COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, MY NOTES JUST SHOWS THAT THAT POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED. I WILL TRY TO GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU BECAUSE IT SAYS CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALIST, THAT POSITION'S BEEN HIRED FOR. SO. >> CAN YOU SHARE THEIR NAME OR CONTACT INFORMATION WITH ME?
>> THAT'S ALL I HAVE F FOR RIGHT NOW. >> NOT TODAY BUT NOTE THAT ONE FOR FOLLOW-UP SO THAT WE CAN START TO WORK WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL. YES. >> OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COLLEAGUES FOR THE
COMMISSIONER? I AM NOT SEEING ANY, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. AND I'LL JUST NOTE BECAUSE IF Y MIGHT BE LEAD, I'LL ADD TO THE MEMO -- LEAVE, I'LL ADD TO THE MEMO THE COO INDICATED THAT WOULD JUST LIKE TO CONNECT THE PROGRESS TO
THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES OF METRICS THAT WERE IN THE BUDGET BOOK. ANY AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE AND UNDERSTANDING THE, MONTH 8. UNDERSTANDING AND SOME THINGS
GOT STOPPED LAST MONTHO IF WE COULD GET AN UPDATE PER EACH OF THESE CHANGE ITEMS ON THATHAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> YES, CHAIR. >> I'LL MAKE SURE I GET THAT MEMO TO THE -- ANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE CHA KOSKI, I'M RETURNING UP HERE. I DID WANT
TO TALK ABOUT THE CODE THAT YOU HAVE. SO ANYTHING GREEN IS IN PROGRESS. IT IS STILL ACTIVELY IN PROGRESS, IN SOME CASES IT'SS IT'S PARTWAY THROUGH A PROJECT. IF YOU SEE A STAR OVER THE GREEN, THAT MEANS WE CONSIDER
THAT ITEM COMPLETE. IT MAY NOT HAVE A LOT OF DATA WITH IT YET, BUT IT IS COMPLETE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF EITHER HIRE HAS BEEN MADE, OR AN ITEM HAS BEEN PURCHASED. WHATEVER'S BEING NOTED. YELLOW WOULD INDICATE
THAT WE ARE RUNNING INTO SOME ISSUES ON BUDGET ITEM FROM LAST YEAR, AND RED WOULD MEAN THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIK IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE IN 2025. SO I WILL
CONTINUE ON FOR EVERYONE, THAT LITTLE KEY IS ACTUALLY IN THE FRONT OF THE PRESENTATION AS WELL. O YOU KNOW, CATCH US UP, SORRY THAT WAS LITTLE FAST. THANK YOU FOR $30,000 IN
CAPACITY BUILDING IN THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC SERVICE. WE'VE BEEN USING THAT FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR TEAM AS WELL AS COACHING IN SOME CASES AS, ANDHEN ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE TOOLS WE NEED TO DO
OUR WORK FOR THE CITY. SO WE, WHEN THESE OFFICES WERE SET UP, I CAN YOU CAN SEE A THEME THERE BETWEEN OCS, OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, AND OPS, THEY DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHT ABOUT THE OTHER AUXILZY BUDGET ITEMS THEY
WOULD NEED. 3-1-1 SERVICE CENTER HAD TWO POSITIONS BUDGETED FOR THE NEW SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER. THIS HAS A LITTLE BUT OF A DIFFERENT CODE BECAUSE IT'S ON TRACK BUT THAT IS NOT GOING
TO OPEN THIS YEAR, SO WE ARE HOLDING THAT. THOSE RESOURCES, D JUST HANGING ONTO THEM UNTIL WE ARE READY TO HIREOR THOSE POSITIONS. THIS IS PART OF WHAT MAKES THIS A FULL SERVICE CENTER IS HAVING THE 3-1-1 SERVICES
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ARTS AND CULTURE HAD A FEW PROGRAMS THAT WERE FUNDED LAST YEAR. THE CIVIC ARTS PROGRAM AND THAT HAS BEEN DISBURSED FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS, INCLUDING ARTS

TOGETHER, AND SO I WANT TO THANK TRUDY IN OUR OFFICE, MOLLY IN OUR OFFICE WHO DID A LOT OF WORK ON THIS, JANE DISENSA A AS OUR BUDGET DIRECTOR AND HER TEA TO ASSIST US AND OF COURSE ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND THEIR
>> THANK YOU. WE HAVEYOU. COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, AND THANK YOU, MS. ANDERSON-KELLIHER FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW WELL ORGANIZED IT IS. IT'S VERY EASY
FOR US TO UNDERSTAND. I'M IN QUEUE SINCE DIRECTOR CHAPLAIN'S QUESTIONS. M QUESTIONS START WITH HIM ON SL SLIDE 33. SOME OF THESE CHANGES THAT W SAW IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY WERE FROM BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT
CAME THROUGH LAST YEAR. AND WE WERE AWARE OF THE IMPACTED FUNDING SOURCE. IN OTHERS THEY WERE LESS CLEAR, SO I FEEL THAT I WOULD BENEFIT, EVERYONE WOULD BENEFIT FROM A BETTER UNDERSTANDING FOR THE APPROPRIATIONS AND EARMARKS
WITHIN A DEPARTMENT, HOW THAT ENDED UP IMPACTING SERVICE DELIVERY OR DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS. LIKE DID IT END UP BEING A GOOD TRADEOFF OR DID SOMETHING ELSE SUFFER THAT WE WERE UNAWARE OF WHEN WE DID THIS DURING THE BUDGET. SO DIRECTOR CHAPLAIN, BACK ON SLIDE 33,
THERE HAD BEEN TWO EARMARKS AND YOU CALLED THEM O WITHIN HEALTH. THEY WERE CARBON FEES. THIS IS ONE I HAD SUPPORTED, THIS IS FOR P-CARD AND IT'S SITS STUDY AND I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW WERE THESE EARMARKS
HANDLED IN YOUR DEPARTMENT AND WHAT WAS IMPACTED BY THAT CHANGE? >> YEAH, COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO, VICE CHAIR KOSKI. THE EARMARKS WERE DESIGNED TO HELP SUPPORT CONTRACTING FOR BRAWN ANDHEN ALSO HIRING THE
POSITION FOR THE CARBON FEES AS WELL WHICH IS WHAT WE DID. WHAT WE'RE DOING. >> RIGHT BUT DIRECTOR WHAT I'M ASKING IS THAT MONEYAD TO BE PULLED FROM SOMEWHERE IN YOUR DEPARTMENT. WE WEREONSPECIFIC AS TO WHERE TO TAKE IT FROM, SO
I'M CURIS WHERE THAT MONEY CAME FROM WITHIN YOUR DEPARTMENT, AND I SEE DIRECTOR HANLON HERE TO HELP.
>> PATRICK HANLON, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. SO THE FUNDING THAT WAS USED TO EARMARK THESE POSITIONS, IT REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE COULD DO IN
TERMS OF GEN COST SHARE WORK OR SOME OF THE OTHER WORK RELATED TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY, SOLAR, THAT KIND OF WORK. SO THE, THE CHANGE IN EARMARK MADE FOR A REDUCTION IN THOSE TYPES
OF PROJECTS. EXACTLY HOW MANY, I WOULDN'T KNOW, BUT IT DID REDUCE THE FUNDING. WE TYPICALLY, TAKE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT BETWEEN THOSE TWO 270. >> 275 ABOUT. >> YEAH I WOULD SAY PROBABLY ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS IN
REDUCTION IN INVESTMENTS IN THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS, AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT POSITION WOULD BE COMING ON BOARD SOON, AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO USE THAT STUDY FM BRAWN TO INFORM OUR FEE STUDY THAT WOULD B COMING FORWARD LATER THIS YEAR.
>> YEAH. THANK YOU. THE IMPACTS OF THIS WOULD BE MUCH FURTHER OUT IN TERMS OF WHAT WES YEAR VERSUS OUR P-CARD PROGRAM ONCE UP AND RUNNING IS GAUCHE TO HELP IMPACT -- GOING TO HELP IMPACT OUR CITY, SO THANK YOU
FOR THAT. MY NEXT QUESTION WAS ACTUALLY FOR CPED, SO I GUESS I'M ASKING DCOOHJEL LE, I'M JUST REMIND MY COLLEAGUES CPED HAD A LOT OF CHANGES, 31 TOTAL CHANGES AND OVER $18 MILLION WORTH OF
CHANGES IS WHAT IS. BUT I SPECIFICALLY RECALL DIRECTOR HANSEN INDICATING AT THE TIME THAT ONE AMENDMENT
REMOVED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM CODE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, AND THAT WAS VERY CONCERNING TO HIM, AND HE SAID AT THE TIME HE ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT TAKE THAT MONEY FROM CODE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AND WOULD HAVE TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. AND SO IT'S VERY POSSIBLE YOU
DON'T KNOW MR MR. HJELLE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT EARMARKS, AND WHAT OTHER SERVICES ANDPERATIONS WERE IMPACTED AS A RESULT OF IT. >> VICE CHAIR KOSKI AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO, I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS STANDING HERE.
I KNOW ONE OF THE EARMARKED ITEMS IS COMING TO THE COUNCIL FO AN UPDATE AND THAT WOULD LIKELY BE A PLACE -- THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THE CPED TEAM*.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> DO YOU WANT A FORMAL MEMO? >> I THINK SO, THAT WAY WE'RE ALL AWARE OF IT. >> CLERKS CAN YOU NOTE THAT? DO YOU WANT HER TO REPEAT THAT, PLEASE. >> YES, PLEASE. >> I'M CURIOUS HOW THE
REDUCTION, THE PROPOSED REDUCTION TO CODE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ENDED UP BECAUSE DIRECTOR HANSEN HAD SAID HE ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT AFFORD A REDUION FROM THAT PART OF HIS BUDGET, AND MR. HJELLE SUGGESTED THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING
COMING FORWARD TO COUNCIL FOR IT IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION AS TO HOW ALL OF THAT WORKED OUT. THANKS. >> AND I'LL GIVE DIRECTOR SEXTON A PASS THIS TIME. >> A RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. I
HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR REG SERVICES AND CPED. ALLCOO HJELLE OR COO KELLIHER ON REG SERVICES. I WAS JUST WONDERING WITH T UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE, ONE FTE AND ONE IN PROGRESS, WHAT NUMBER DOES THAT BRING US TO FOR THIS
DEPARTMENT'S OR THIS PROGRAM'S STAFF LEVEL FOR UNSHELTERED HOLESSNESS RESPONSE. >> VICE CHAIR COCKY, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, CAN YOU LL ME SLIDE NUMBER SO I CAN GET IT BACK UP? >> 27.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE 5.0 ON STAFF. >> OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YEAH, JUST A BRIEF COMMENT ON THAT. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE HELPFUL JUST FROM A USER EXPERIENCE AND FROM A CONSTITUENT SERVICES PERSPECTIVE OF BEING ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THIS TEAM AND HAVING THEM REALLY
ON SCENE VERY QUICKLY TO HELP THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CAMPING SOMEWHERE IN THE WARD, SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE KUDOS TO THAT TEAM AND THEIR WORK. MY NEXT QUESTIONS ARE FOR CPED, SO THE FIRST ONE IS FROM PAGE 35.
NICOLLET PROGRAMMING, IT SAYS 150,000. I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT THAT WAS GOING TOWARDS AND WHERE IT IS IN THE BUDGET. >> VICE CHAIR KOSKI, COUNCILMEMBER CAS CASHMAN. THE NICOLLET AIVATION IS TO
FUND A STUDY FOR AN INDOOR YOUTH CENTER, PLAYGROUND, SOMETHING OF LIKE THAT, ALLOCATION AND IDEAS.
WE ARE FINALLY FUNDING -- >> THANK YOU. SECOND ONE IS STABLE HOME AND STABLE SCHOOLS EXPANSION, PAGE 8, THIS WAS COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY AND BUDGET CIR CHUGHTAI, MAYBE OTHER AUTHORS ON THIS AMENDMENT. CHAVEZ AND PAYNE, SO YOU KNOW MORE THAN WILLING TO HEAR FROM
YOU ALL TOO, BUT I DO RECALL FROM MY RECOLLECTION THAT THIS WAS TO EXPAND STABLE HOME, ABLE SCHOOLS TO SERVE MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN, I SEE ON PAGE 38 IT DOES SAY IN PROGRESS BUT I KIND OF HEARD YOUAY THAT YOU'RE STILL FIGURING OUT HOW TO
SPEND THAT MONEY. AND SO COULD YOU GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON WHAT THE EXPANSIONO SERVE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL L LOOK LIKE? >> VICE CHAIR COCKY, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, MY UNDERSTANDING IS BASED ON THIS
LARGE GROUP PARTNERIP THAT IS PUTTING THIS PROGRAM ON, THEY ARE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE AND SEEING THIS FISCAL CLIFF, AND FORE DECIDING TO EXPAND SOMETHING THAT HAS A CLIFF IN FRONT OF IT, THEY ARE TRYINGO FIGURE OUT THE BEST NEXT STEPS TO MAKE SURE THE CURRENT PROGRAM IS SUSTAINABLE.
>> OKAY, THANKS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SE I UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY BECAUSE IT DOES SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE ALL NEED TO BE AWARE OF AND TRYING TO SOLVE FOR WITH SUCH SUCCESSFUL AND IMPACTFUL PROGRAM WITH SO MANY PARTNERS AND REALLY
IMPORTANT SERVICE OF HELPING OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL FAMILIES ACCESS HOUSING SO I JUST WANTED TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT AND BRING IT TO OUR AENTION AS SOMETHING TO WORK ON IN THE LONG-TERM. AND THEN JUST THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD BUT JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL SO
MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION. YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD, AND CHANGING OUR BUDGET OR CITY BUDGET TO REFLECT EMERGING NEEDS COMING FROM THE COMMUNITY I THINK IS IMPORTANT. SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU KNOW OUR JOB AS REPRESENTATIVES IS TO IDENTIFY THOSE NEEDS AND TRY TO
AMEND THE BUDGET ACCORDINGLY T FIT WHAT OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE RAISING TO OUR ATTENTION, AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY GREAT WORK THAT'S COME IN JUST A FEW MONTHS OUT OF THIS YEAR, AND SO IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE ALL THOSE
GREEN CIRCLES AND ALL THEPROGRE. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. MY QUESTION IS FOR DIRECTOR SEXTON. YOU SAID WE WERE GOING TO HAVE $400,000 GO BACK BECAUSE THE OPEN STREETS, OUR STREETS
APPLICATION WASN'T AWARDED, SO I'M WONDERING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THA $400,000. >> VICE CHAIR KOSKI, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. SO THE $400,000 WAS ORIGINALLY FROM OUR GENERAL SORT OF GENERAL MAINTENANCE FUNDING, SO THAT
WOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THINGS LIKE PLOWING SNOW, POTHES, FILLING POTHOLES, SO THAT'S GOING BACK TO THAT FUNDING SOURCE. >> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR, DIRECTOR. GREAT SO MORE POT POTHOLES FILLED, MORE SNOW PLOWING HAPPENING WITH
THAT $400,000. >>ORRECT. >> LOVE IT. THANK YOU. >> ALL GHT. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COLLEAGUES? I'M NOT SEEING ANY. SO I JUS WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO CITY STAFF AND LEADERS FOR PREPARING
ALL OF THIS. I KNOW IT'S A TREMENDOUSIFT, BUT I THINK IT'S SO HELPFUL FOR US TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT AND PROGRESS, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE SHOWING TO THE PUBLIC HOW THEIR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT. SO IT'S GREAT AGAINO SEE ALL THE
GREAT PROGRESS, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK TO MAKE THAT TRANSPARENT FOR US. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THIS REPORT, AND WITH THAT, WE'VE CONCLUDED ALL BUSINESS TO
