ITEM IS A BUNDLE THAT APPROVES THE BLOCK PERMIT FOR THE AQ AQUACENTTENIAL. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWURY. I WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE

40
00:11:12.371 --> 00:11:28.087
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF TARGET ELD WORKER ALMOST 500 WORKERS ARE STATIONED AT TARGET FIELD AND ARE SPECIFICSPE SPECIFICALLY EMPLOYED BY THE DELAWARE COMPANY. I'M GRATEFUL T SEE MANY MEMBERS

41
00:11:28.087 --> 00:11:44.937
IN THE CHAMBERS, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. THESE WORKERS SERVE THE FOOD AND BEVERAGES THAT ARE INTEGRAL TO THE FAN EXPERIENCE AND ECONOMIC SUCCESS OF THE TWINS AND TARGET FIELD. WORKERS ARE CURRENTLY IN CONTRACT NEGOTIATION SEEKING A CONTRACT THAT INCLUDES LIVING WAGES AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH

42
00:11:44.937 --> 00:12:00.920
CARE. UNFORTUNATELY, DELAWARE NORTH HAS NOT REACHED T FAIR CONTRACT THAT GRANTS WORKERS THE WAGES AND BENEFITS THAT THEY DO DESERVE. AND WORKERS WERE FORCED TO EVEN STRIKE EARLIER THIS SUMMER. AND I FELT VERY HONORED TO JOIN

43
00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:18.136
THEM ON THE PICKET LINES AND JOIN THEM IN SOLIDARITY PUSHING FOR A FAIR CONTRACT. TARGET FIELD IS OVERSEEN BY THE MINNESOTA BALLPARK AUTHORITY. IT'S ALSO HOME TO THE MINNESOTA TWINS AND IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS A CORNER STONE OF

44
00:12:18.136 --> 00:12:35.387
THE ATHLETIC AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPE IN MINNEAPOLIS. THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS HAS ADOPTED POSITIONS SUPPORTING LIVING WAGES, AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE, UNION REPRESENTATION, DIGNIFIED WORKPLACES AND COLLECTIV BARGAINING FOR ALL WORKERS.

45
00:12:35.387 --> 00:12:51.170
TOWN.E A UNION-FRIENDLY CITY AND AND WE'VE ALSO IN ALIGNMENT WITH THESE POSITIONS HAVE ADOPTED AS A BODY, SIMILAR RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTING WORKERS, BE IT AT DELTA AIRLINES, MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS, MINNEAPOLIS PARKS AND RECREATION, AS WELL AS THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.

46
00:12:51.170 --> 00:13:06.952
AND I THINK THAT INDICATES THE COLLECTIVE OBLIGATION THAT WE HAVE AS COUNCIL MEMBERS AND AS VALUES IN OUR OWN BACKYARD, E SPECIFICLY IN THIS CASE RELATED TO TARGET FIELD. SO IN LIGHT OF THAT, I AUTHORED THIS RESOLUTION BEFORE YOU THAT

47
00:13:06.952 --> 00:13:25.037
ESTABLISHES A POSITION, A FORMAL MINNEAPOLIS TO SUPPORT AND EXTEND SOLIDARITY TO TARGET FIELD WORKERS AND SPECIFICALLY THE RESOLUTION URGES DELAWARE NORTH, THE TWINS, AND TARGET FIELD TO NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH

48
00:13:25.037 --> 00:13:40.552
FOR A FAIR CONTRACT THAT UPHOLDS THE MINNEAPOLIS VALUES AND THE CITY FORMAL POSITIONS IN SUPPORT OF LIVING WAG AND DIGNIFIED WORKING CONDITIONS. SO WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE THIS ITEM FORWARD FOR APPROVAL AND ASK FOR A SECOND. >> SECOND.

COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY SAID, EXPRESSES SOLIDARITY AND SUPPORT FOR TARGET FIELD WORKERS AND URGES DELAWARE NORTH COMPANY TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH AND TO AGREE TO A FAIR CONTRACT. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALL IMPORTANT. MINNEAPOLIS IS A UNION TOWN. AND THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING

51
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:31.403
THAT NEEDS TO GET ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. NSLEY FOR BRINGING THIS BER FORWARD. >> THANK YOU. NEXT I'LL GO TO COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU. I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MEMBERS OF LOCAL 17 HERE. I WAS A MEMBER FOR 23 YEARS. I WAS A SHOP STEWARD, TICKET

53
00:14:50.155 --> 00:15:05.471

56
00:15:38.537 --> 00:15:56.321
SO THAT IS INCLUSIVE OF THE AQUATENNIEL ITEM AS WELL. I MOVE THAT FOR APPROVAL. COULD I GET A SECOND ON AT? >> SECOND. >> EXCELLENT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AY [CHORUS OF AYES] THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY.

57
00:15:56.321 --> 00:16:15.073
AND THE MOTION IS CARRIED. ALL RIGHT COUNCIL MEMBERS, NEXT ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE, YOU'LL SEE IT AS ITEM NUMBER THREE, BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO TAKE IT UP REALLY QUICK. IT'S THE POSTPONEMENT ITEM BEFORE WE MOVE TO DISCUSSION. I'LL MOVE T POSTPONE ITEM

58
00:16:15.073 --> 00:16:32.824
NUMBER THREE TO OUR MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 15TH. THIS IS BECAUSE STAFF NEEDS MORE TIME TO ISSUE A RESPONSE TO THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE. AND I THINK I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOR THE PUBLIC THAT IS TRACKING THIS ITEM REGARDING INFORMATION ON MINNEAPOLIS

59
00:16:32.824 --> 00:16:47.306
POLICE DEPARTMENT SPENDING IN 2025, THIS WAS INITIALLY PRESENTED IN MAY. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS AND ANEXTENSION WAS REQUESTED FOR THIS MEETING.

60
00:16:47.306 --> 00:17:04.689
AND UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WAS NOT COMPLETED. THEINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE SHARED WITH US IN AGENDA SETTING THAT'S LARGELY DUE TO THE LEADERSHIP CHANGE UP AND NEEDING TO HIRE I THINK STAFF FOR FINANCIAL

61
00:17:04.689 --> 00:17:21.239
SUPPORT TO ACTUALLY GET US THE INFORMATION. TH IS THE LAST EXTENSION IN CONSULTATION WITH COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI'S OFFICE THAT I'LL BE WILLING TO GRANT FOR COMMITTEE.

62
00:17:21.239 --> 00:17:39.158
D THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THIS WOULD BE ENOUGH TIME TO ISSUE THE ADEQUATE RESPONSE. SO LOOKINGORWARD TO THAT. I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. TO THIS ITEM.O ADD MORE CONTEXT

63
00:17:39.158 --> 00:17:55.407
I'M LOOKING AT LIMS, IT SAID THAT THE REPORT WAS DUE MAY 19, 2026. NOW IT IS JULY 14, 2026, ALMOST TWO MONS LATER. WE HAVE IN MANY INSTANCES GONE

64
00:17:55.407 --> 00:18:12.090
HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EQUITY COMMITTEE WHERE THE ADMINISTRATION FAILSO REPORT ON TIME FOR OUR LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES ONE PARTICULAR ITEM I AM THINKING ABOUT IS AN ITEM THAT WAS AUTHORED BY COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. AND SHE THEN HAD TO SUBMIT TWO FOLLOW-UP REQUESTS BECAUSE THE

65
00:18:12.090 --> 00:18:27.806
ADMINISTRATION HASAILED TO RESPOND TO IT. SO THAT'S A TOTAL OF ONE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ASKING FOR INFORMATION. TWO FOLLOW-UP REQUESTS TO THE ADMINISTRATION. REPORTED TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EQUITY COMMITTEE. I'M USING THIS TIME TO TALK ABOUT HOW ADMINISTRATION IS

66
00:18:27.806 --> 00:18:43.655
HAVING THIS PATTERN OF FAILING TOEPORT BACK ON LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE WHICH PURSUANT TO CITY CHARTER SECTION 7.1H2, THE MINNEAPOLIS COUNCIL HAS THE AUTHORITY TO GET THIS INFORMATION. AND I AM FLAGGING THIS FOR CONCERNS, BECAUSE I HOPE THIS IS

67
00:18:43.655 --> 00:18:59.938
THE LAST TIME THAT THE ADMINISTRATION FAILS TO REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON INFORMATION THAT IS DULY MEANT TO GET INTO OUR HANDS SO WE CAN BE GOOD POLICYMAKERS AND USE OUR DUAL AUTHORITY TOO OVERSIGHT

68
00:18:59.938 --> 00:19:16.755
OVER WHAT THE CITY HAS AUTHORITY OVER I HOPE THIS IS THE LAST TIME. BUT I WILL SAY THAT I AM FRUSTRATED THAT THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CITY COUNCIL REQUESTS INFORMATION, WE SHOULD BE GETTING THAT INFORMATION. >> NEXT, WE'LLO TO

69
00:19:16.755 --> 00:19:32.437
COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. I, AS A CO-AUTHOR ON THIS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE WITH COUNCILMEMR CHUGHTAII JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ON THE DELAYS

70
00:19:32.437 --> 00:19:48.720
IN THIS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE PASSION THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE FOR THIS, BUT I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT FOLKS HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH US ABOUT THE DELAYS. THERE'S BEEN A MAJOR TRANSITION

71
00:19:48.720 --> 00:20:05.770
IN THIS DEPARTMENT AND THE PERSON WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE AND WHO COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI AND I HAD ASKED TO PRESENT THIS INFORMATION IS NO LONGER WITH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. AND THAT IS NOT THE ONLY TRANSITION THAT'S HAPPENE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS IN THIS

72
00:20:05.770 --> 00:20:21.419
PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GOES ON THE RECORD THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THE'S ANY FUNNY BUSINESS OR ANYBODY TRYING TO STALL SOMETHING. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF TRANSITIONS GOING ON BEHIND THE ENES AND I'M CONFIDENT THAT

73
00:20:21.419 --> 00:20:37.001
WE'RE GOING TO GET THE INFORMATION. I CERTAINLY HAVE SAID PUBLICLY THIS IS INFORMATION I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET FOR A LONG TIME. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. BUT THE CONVERSATION FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS BEI WITHHELD. AND THAT'S NOT HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.

74
00:20:37.001 --> 00:20:55.053
I THINK THERE'S JUST BEEN A LOT OF TRANSITION AND EXPECTATION THAT SPECIFIC PEOPLE PRESENT THIS INFORMATION TO US. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO T SEPTEMBER TIMELINE THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE FOR US TO GET THE

75
00:20:55.053 --> 00:21:11.636
INFORMATION. AND I HOPE THEN IN THAT COMMITTEE THAT COLLEAGUES DO ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI AND I WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO REALLY WER ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS LEGISLATIVE FORWARD TO A REALLY ROBUST DISCUSSION IN SEPTEMBER WHEN

76
00:21:11.636 --> 00:21:28.987
IS INFORMATION IS PRESENTED TO US. >> NEXT WE'LL GO TO COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ RAISED IN TERMS OF NOT SEEING LEGISLATIVEIRECTIVES

77
00:21:28.987 --> 00:21:48.006
BEING COMPLIED WITH BY THE ADMINISTRATION. I'VE SEEN THAT PLAY OUT IN ALMOST TWO DIFFERENT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES AS YOU KNOW THAT ALLOWS THIS BODY T RECEIVE INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN MAKE INFORMED POLICY AND BUDGETAR

78
00:21:48.006 --> 00:22:03.455
DECISIONS. ESPECIALLY WHERE WE'RE DISCUSSINGUR CURRENT BUDGET LANDSCAPE WHERE WE'RE IN A $30 MILLION ESTIMATED O PROJECTED DEFICIT. AND WE KNOW THAT $23 MILLION OR SO OF THAT IS COMING FROM MPD. WE NEED TO BE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS OF HOW WE GOT THERE AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO

79
00:22:03.455 --> 00:22:19.971
THIS BUDGET CYCLE TO MITIGATE FURTHER FINANCIAL STRAIN THAT'S BEING ADVANCED BY MISMANAGEMENT WITHIN THIS DEPARTMENT. SO I THINK MANY OF US REALLY WANT TO RECEIVE THIS INFORMATION. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT TRANSITION IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ALSO

80
00:22:19.971 --> 00:22:36.288
UNDER THE CURRENT INTERIM LEADERSHIP, SOME OF THIS INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY WITH THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AS WELL AS BUDGET FROM MY UNDERSTANDING SHOULD BE ABLE TO READILY PROVIDE SOM OF THESE REPORTS THAT WE ACTUALLY GET AROUND OVERTIME. SO JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THAT ISN'T BEING COORDINATED OR ADHERED TO.

81
00:22:36.288 --> 00:22:55.439
BUT THE PNT THAT COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ MADE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO ADDRESS THIS, I ALSO BROUGHT FORWARD AND I BELIEVE YOU SUPPORTED THIS AS A COLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE THAT I THINK LARGELY THE CITY ATTORNEY IS TAKING UP SO WE CAN

82
00:22:55.439 --> 00:23:10.922
UNDERSTAND WHAT AUTHORITY WE HAVE TO BETTER APPROACH THE ADMINISTRATION AROUND GETTING THESE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES FULFILLED SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR JOBS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S PLANNING TO COME

83
00:23:10.922 --> 00:23:28.072
FORWARDITH THAT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE OR THE STAFF IN GENERAL ON AUGUST 3RD. WE'LL FOLLOW UP TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT ALSO IS PRESENTED ON BECAUSE THAT'S ONE IN ITSELF THAT WAS DELAYED AS WELL. I AT LEAST WANTED TO NOTE THAT HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HAPPEN IN A PRESENTATION TO THIS BODY AND

84
00:23:28.072 --> 00:23:46.491
THAT THIS BODY AS A COUNCIL CAN HAVE MORE OPTIONS ON HOW WE CAN HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATIONHAT WE REQUEST AND APPROVE TOGETHER. SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME FOLLOW UP ON THAT. >> THERE IS NO ONE ELSE IN

85
00:23:46.491 --> 00:24:01.105
QUEUE. SO WITHOUT OBJECTION, I WILL MOVEO POSTPONE THIS ITEM. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. [CHORUS  AYES] THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THE MOTION CARRIES AND IT IS POPONED TO THE SEPTEMBER 15TH MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE

86
00:24:01.105 --> 00:24:17.221
WHOLE. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO WAIT TO JUSTAVE THE CHAMBER CLEAR. >> MADAM CHAIR. >> YES? >> MADAM CHAIR, SORRY. I CAN'T GET IN QUEUE RIGHT NOW. BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION I

87
00:24:17.221 --> 00:24:34.005
FORGOT IT WASN'T WRITTEN ON THE SHEET BUT WE DID -- >> YOUR MIC JUST WENT OUT. >> WE DID AT ELR COMMITTEE THIS CYCLE DO THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE REAPPOINTMENT OF REBECCA LOMQUIST AS THE CITY ASSESSOR

88
00:24:34.005 --> 00:24:51.222
AND I DIDN'T SAY THAT ON THE COMMITTEE REPORT. I DIDN'T READ THAT, BUT I PLAN TO BE BRINGING THAT FORWARD FOR APPROVAL ON THURSDAY. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO.

89
00:24:51.222 --> 00:25:07.305
OKAY. NOW WE WILL BE RECEIVING A RESPONSE TO THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE REGARDING HERITAGE PARK. AND ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS AN ACTION ITEM DISCUSSED THAT ALLOCATES $2.5 MILLION FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND TO

90
00:25:07.305 --> 00:25:22.753
THIS PROJECT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A NOTE T THE PUBLIC. I THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT THAT UNFOLDS IN THI CONVERSATION. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF EXIGENT AND ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT'S LEADING TO A WALK ON ITEM FOR

91
00:25:22.753 --> 00:25:38.336
$2.5 MILLION. IT'S HIGHLY IRREGULAR. AND I THINK WE'LL GET INTO THAT DISCUSSION. AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO GIVE A THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER WARREN FOR HER WORK AND COMMUNICATION ON THIS.

92
00:25:38.336 --> 00:25:57.222
AND WH THAT, I WILL HAVE ERIC HANSEN, THE DIRECTOR OF CPED STT THE PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM. WELCOME DIRECTOR. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY,

93
00:25:57.222 --> 00:26:12.670
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS ERIC HANSEN, I AMHE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND I WANT TO START FIRST BY ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT YOU SAID, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR CPED TO BRING SOMETHING OF THIS

94
00:26:12.670 --> 00:26:27.919
MAGNITUDE IN FRONT OF THE COMMITTEE OF E WHOLE. AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT THE PRESENTATION YOU'LL SEE WILL EXPLAIN WHY WE ARE BRINGING THIS IN SUCH AN ATYPICAL FASHION. I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE RESPONSE

95
00:26:27.919 --> 00:26:44.101
TO THE HERITAGE PARK LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE AND REQUEST $2.5 MILLION IN EMERGENCY FUNDING FOR LIFE SAFETY REPAIRS AND RECATION SUPPORTS AT HERITAGE PARK. I AM JOINED IN THE CHAMBS TODAY BY LEADERS FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, REGULATORY SERVICES,

96
00:26:44.101 --> 00:27:00.418
AND PUBLIC WOR DEPARTMENT, WHO ARE ON HAND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR THE PRESENTED INRMATION. I WOULD ASK THAT YOU ALLOW FOR ME TO COMPLETE THE PRESENTATION ON BOTH OF E ITEMS AND THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS FROM THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS -- THE PROPER

97
00:27:00.418 --> 00:27:15.900
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS. WE HAVE A GROWING PROPERTY CONDITION PROBLEMT HERITAGE PARK THAT IS IMPACTING 685 PEOPLE IN 212 HOUSEHOLDS. THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING INTENSELY OVER THE PAST SIX

98
00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:32.216
MONTHS WITH THE COURTRDERED RECEIVER PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY AND FUNDERS TO IDENTIFY WAYS TO REHABILITATE HERITAGE PARK. IT IS A COMPLEX PROBLEM THAT WE ARE SOLVING. IT COMES FROM YEARS OF UNDERINVESTMENT INTO THE RENTAL

99
00:27:32.216 --> 00:27:49.100
COMPONENT OF THE PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS UNDERINVESTMENT HAS LEFT THE BUILDINGS IN A STATE OF DISREPAIR TO THE POINT WHERE THE CITY HAS COME TO THE CONCLUSION TO PROVIDE DIRECT ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE CURRENTLY LIVING AT HERITAGE PARK TO FIND NEW STABLE AND SAFE PLACES TO LIVE.

100
00:27:49.100 --> 00:28:05.516
IN MY PRESENTATION, I WILL PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND ON HERITAGE PARK, RESPOND TO THE DIRECT QUESTIONS OF THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE, AND DISCUSS T REQUESTED EMERGENCY FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE AT RITAGE PARK. BEFORE I BEGIN, I WANT TO

101
00:28:05.516 --> 00:28:21.633
COGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER WARREN FOR HER STEADFAST ADVOCACY FOR THE PEOPLE IN THESENITS AND HER INVALUABLE PARTNERSHIP WITH CPED AND THE STAFF TEAM, AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AS WE DEVELOP THIS PLANND ENGAGE RESIDENTS AT HERITAGE PARK.

102
00:28:21.633 --> 00:28:38.917
THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. HERITAGE PARK IS A 440 UNIT MIXED INCOME RENTAL COMMUNITY THIS WARD 5. IT WAS DEVELOPED IN FOUR PHASES. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT ON THE MAP. CURRENTLY, ONLY 212 OF THOSE

103
00:28:38.917 --> 00:28:54.432
UNITS ARE OCCUPIED WITH AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 685 PEOPLE LIVING IN THOSE UNITS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF HERITAGE PARK IS A RESULT OF A COURORDERED CONSENT DECREE FROM THE PULLMAN V.CISNEROS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

104
00:28:54.432 --> 00:29:08.579
FROM THE 1990s WHICH ALLEGED THATUBLIC HOUSING AND SECTION 8 IN THE CITY PERPETUATED RACIA AND LOW INCOME SEGREGATION AND AL

105
00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:30.034
ALLOWED RESIDENTS TO LIVE IN -- HOUSING CONDITIONS. THE MAP SHOWS THE FOUR RENTAL HOUSING COMPONENTS OWNED BY SEPARATE SUBSIDIARIES OF

106
00:29:30.034 --> 00:29:45.049
MBS BUILT THESE HOUSING UNITS BETWEEN 2002 AND 20. AS ONE OF THE DEFENDANT PARTIES TO THE CONSENT DECREE, THE CITY PARTICIPATED IN THE PLANNING, SITE READINESS, AND FUNDING ACTIVITIES FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF HITAGE PARK.

107
00:29:45.049 --> 00:30:04.035
THE CITY ITIALLY INVESTED $4.3 MILLION IN FUNDS AND ADDED HOUSING TAX CREDITS INTO THE DEVELOPMENT. OTHER FUNDERS TO THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT INCLUDE MINNESOTA HOUSING, HENNEPIN COUNTY, FAMILY HOUSING FUND,ND THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

108
00:30:04.035 --> 00:30:20.051
URBAN DEVELOPMENT OR HUD. THEY PROVIDE SECTION 8 VOUCHERS CONTRIBUTIONS CONTRACT OR ACC CONTRACT TO FUND OPERATIS AND ONGOING CAPITAL NEEDS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.

109
00:30:20.051 --> 00:30:37.101
200 OF THE 440 UNITS ARE PUBLIC HOUSING. AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE SECTION 8 VOUCHERS. HERITAGE PARK RIGHT NOW IS IN A COURT-ORDERED RECEIVERSHIP TO THE OWNER'S FAILURE TO PAY THE FIRST MORTGAGE.

110
00:30:37.101 --> 00:30:53.317
CERTIS FINANCIAL LLC SERVES AS THAT RECEIVER AND WOULD RECEIVE ANY GRANTS FOR REHABILITATION AN EXECUTE REQUIRED REPAIRS. THEY ACT AS THE OWNER AT THIS POINT IN TIME. CERTIS CONTINUES TO COMPLETE DUE DILIGENC TO DETERMINE REPAIR

111
00:30:53.317 --> 00:31:10.267
NEEDS AT HERITAGE PARK. STAFF IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH CERTIS AND THE MPHA THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND HAS ENGAGED HENNEPIN COUNTY AND OTHERUNDERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE REHABILITATION ANDRELOCATION PLANNING. THE CITY'S PRIMARY ROLE RIGHT NOW AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE

112
00:31:10.267 --> 00:31:26.250
CONSENT DECREE WHICH IS ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD ARE TO SUPPORT AND MONITOR THE EXISTING SUBSIDY FUNDING, PROVIDE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PHASES, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN PUBC INFRASTRUCTURE,

113
00:31:26.250 --> 00:31:41.332
ADDITIONALLY LICENSING AND MAINTENANCE REGULATION. WE WILL RESPOND TO THE SEVEN QUESTIONS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. YOU ASKED STAFF TO RESPOND TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE BY JULY 28TH.

114
00:31:41.332 --> 00:31:57.248
THE BODY URGED STAFF FOR QUICKER RESPONSE IF POSSIBLE WHEN THE FULL COUNCIL APPROVED THIS DIRECTIVE IN JUNE. RESPONDING TO THAT REQUEST AND GIVING THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CONDITIONS THAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT, WE ARE PRESENTING THIS INFORMATION AHEAD OF THE

115
00:31:57.248 --> 00:32:13.831
DEADLINE. OUR RESPONSES TO THE QUESTN POSED REFLECT THE BEST DATA STAFF HAS AVAILABLE. AND POSSESS RIGHT NOW DURING A VERY FLUID SITUATION. IN SOME CASES, RESPONSES RELY ON DATA FROM EXTERNAL PARTNERS.

116
00:32:13.831 --> 00:32:30.881
WE DID OUR BEST TO RETRIEVE THAT INFORMATION AND PROVIDE A RESPONSE. STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING DAILY WITH CERTIS TO BEST UNDERSTAND THE REPAIR AND REHABILITATION NEEDS AT HERITAGE PARK. IT IS A COMPLEX PUZZLE BALANCING REPAIRS OF THE UNITS, ASSESSING

117
00:32:30.881 --> 00:32:47.498
THE INTEGRITY OF THE OVERALL BUILDING ENVELOPE AND STRUCTURE, AND DEFINING THE NEEDS FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF THE GROUNDS, STORMWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES, AND FIXTURES LIKE LIGHTING AND PLAYGROUNDS. WE SEEM TO LEARN MORE EVERY DAY ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AT HERITAGE PARK.

118
00:32:47.498 --> 00:33:02.980
FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE CENTER OUR ATTENTION ON THE 685 PEOPLE WHO LE AT HERITAGE PARK ENSURING THEY HAVE SAFE, STABLE HOUSING. IF THAT'S NOT AT HERITAGE PARK, THEN WE NEED TO HELP THEM FIND IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

119
00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:19.396
THE EMERGENCY FUNDING ACTION WILL DISCUSS LATER IN THE PRESENTATION ADDRESSES THEIR NEEDS FIRST AS WE CONTINUE TO DETERMINE A STRATEGY TOOMPLETE THE REPAIR PUZZLE WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE WEEKS TO COMPLETE, MONTHS TO DESIGNATE

120
00:33:19.396 --> 00:33:33.944
FUNDING TO MEET THE REPAIR NEEDS, AND YEARS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. THERE ARE 76 RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND THEY CURRENTLY

121
00:33:33.944 --> 00:33:50.161
MAININ ACTIVE RENTAL LICENSES. PRIOR TO 2025, E CITY INSPECTION ACTIVITIES WERE PRIMARILY COMPLAINT DRIVEN. MEAN CONCERNS REPORTED BY RESIDENTS. AS CONDITIONS AT THE PROPERTY BECAME MORE CONCERNING,

122
00:33:50.161 --> 00:34:06.277
REGULATORY SERVICES SHIFTED TO A PROACTIVE APPROACH BEGINNING IN OCTOBE2025 THE CITY CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE PROPERTY-WIDE INSPECTION AND INSPECTED EVERY OCCUPIED UNIT WHERE RESIDENTS PROVIDED CONSENT TO ALLOW FOR ENTRY. THOSE INSPECTIONS IDENTIFIED

123
00:34:06.277 --> 00:34:22.193
SIGNIFICANT MAINTENANCE AND HOUSING CODE ISSUES. SINCE OCTOBER, INSPECTORS HAVE OPENED 93 ENFORCEMENT CAS DOCUMENTING 975 CODE VIOLATIONS. TO DATE, 111 VIOLENCES HAVE BEEN CORRECTED AND CLOSED.

124
00:34:22.193 --> 00:34:38.742
84 CASES REMAIN OPEN REPRESENTING 863 VIOLATIONS THAT CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED BY REGULATORY SERVICES. ONE INDICATOR IS THAT THE SERVICE REQUESTS HAVE DECLINED SINCE THE PROACTIVE INSPECTIONS BEGAN, SUGGESTING THA MORE

125
00:34:38.742 --> 00:34:52.924
ISSUES ARE BEING IDENTIFIED AND ADDRESSED THROUGH THE CITY'S SYSTEMATIC INSPECTION PROCESS RATHER THAN WAITING FOR INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINTS. OUR WORK CONTINUES UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE AND PEOPLE HAVE SAFE,

126
00:34:52.924 --> 00:35:08.606
HEALTHY HOUSING. THE CITY'S RESPONSE IS ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN INSPECTION THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. HOUSING LIAISONS HAVE WORKED ALONGSIDE REGULATORY SERVICES INSPECRS, MEETING DIRECTLY

127
00:35:08.606 --> 00:35:25.890
WITH RESIDENTS, CONNECTING FAMILIES WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES, AND HELPING FAMILIES NAVIGATE WHAT HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT AND UNCERTAIN SITUATION. LAST FALL WE PARTICIPATED IN A COMMUNITY MEETING ALONG WITH FORMER RESIDENT ADVOCATE

128
00:35:25.890 --> 00:35:43.373
ORGANIZATION USI TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. AS REINSPECTIONS CONTINUE, HOUSING LIAISONS ARE BROUGHT IN WHENEVER APPROPRIATE TO REDUCE NUMBER OF CITY STAFF ENTERING THE UNITS WHILE ENSURING RESIDENTS CONTINUE TO RECEIVE SUPPORT. R DEPARTMENTS REMAIN IN CLOSE

129
00:35:43.373 --> 00:35:58.155
COMMUNICATION SO THAT RESIDENTS CAN QUICKLY ACCESS ASSISTANCE WHEN NEEDED. WHEN ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION IS APPROPRIATE, WE WORK COLLECTIVELY WITH RESIDENTS AND THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TO HELP RESOLVE ISSUES.

130
00:35:58.155 --> 00:36:13.971
MORE RECENTLY, CITY STAFF HAS JOINED COUNCILMEMBER WARREN IN THREE COMMUNITY MEETINGS ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AT HERITAGE PARK AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE THE MMUNITY MEMBERS AS WE WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS OF RELOCATION.

131
00:36:13.971 --> 00:36:31.255
SINCE THE COURT APPOINTED A RECEIVER, CITY STAFF HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH BOTH CERTIS AND THE NEW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TEAM. TOGETHER, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED AN INSPECTION SCHEDULE, PRIORITIZED

132
00:36:31.255 --> 00:36:48.706
REPAIRS, AND DEVELOPED TIMELINES. ANOTHER PRIORITY IS RETURNING VACANT UNITS INTO SERVICE. MANY VACANT APARTMENTS REQUIRE EXTEIVE REHABILITATION BEFORE THEY CAN SAFELY HOUSE RESIDENTS. ADDRESSING THESENITS REQUIRE BOTH IMMEDIATE REPAIRS AND

133
00:36:48.706 --> 00:37:04.788
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL STRATEGIES THAT SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION RATHER THAN TEMPORARY FIXES. THIS COORDINATED EFFORT AMONG THE RECEIVER, MP, AND HUD AND OTHER PARTNERS IS ESSENTIAL TO STABILIZING THE LONG-TERM HEALTH

134
00:37:04.788 --> 00:37:21.205
OF HERITAGE PARK. THE CITY HAS MADE FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS IN THE RECENT PAST IN ADDITION TO THE $4.3 MILLION IN DEFERRED FINANCING AT T BEGINNING OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT. WE HAVE PUT IN HUNDREDS OF

135
00:37:21.205 --> 00:37:37.321
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR TO HELP WITH LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS, SECURITY UPGRADES, PARKING LOT REPAIRS, REHABILITATION OF VANT UNITS OR UNIT TERMS, FURNACE REPLACEMENT, WEATHERIZATION IMP INVESTMENTS FOCUSED ON HEALTH AND SAFETY.

136
00:37:37.321 --> 00:37:54.872
WE ALSO HAVE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MINNESOTA HOUSINGITH $5.125 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING FOR REPAIRS. AND $3 MILLION EARMARK THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HUD FOR ONGOING REPAIRSS WELL AS

137
00:37:54.872 --> 00:38:11.889
ONGOING OPERATING AND CAPITAL EXPENSES SUPPORT FROM MPHA. THERE IS NO SINGLE FUNDING SOURCE THAT WILL SOLVE THE CHALLENGES FOR HERITAGE PARK. AND SUCCESS WILL DEPENDN A THOUGHTFUL, COORDINATED INVESTMENT STRATEGY WITH

138
00:38:11.889 --> 00:38:29.573
MULTIPLE SECTOR PANERS. HERITAGE PARK ENTERED A COURT ORDERED RECEIVERSHIP IN DECEMBER OF 2025. WHEN CEIS FINANCIAL WAS APPOINTED TO HELP STABILIZE THE PROPERTY. THE RECEIVER ISORKING CLOSELY

139
00:38:29.573 --> 00:38:44.522
WITH ALL OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED TO DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE TO DO A PROPERTY ANALYSIS OF PROPERTY NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF THE PRERTY, FIGURE OUT A FUNDING/FINANCING PLAN, AND PRODUCE A COMPREHENSIVE STABILIZATION STRATEGY.

140
00:38:44.522 --> 00:39:02.105
WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CERTUS AND THE MPHA ON THAT PROCESS AS WE TALK ABOUT RELOCATION. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS AN EVOLVING SITUATION ABOUT NEEDS. WE ARE EVALUATING A THRESHOLD

141
00:39:02.105 --> 00:39:18.656
QUESTION OF ARE THE REPAIRS NEEDED EXCEEDING THE COST OF JUST REBUILDING THE BUILDING. AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, WE CAN'T SWER THAT THRESHOLD QUESTION. BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL BE AT THE CENTER OF OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH CERTUS, MPHA, AND THE STAFF

142
00:39:18.656 --> 00:39:36.707
TEAM THAT IS WORKING ON THIS. THEREFORE, DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A STABILIZATION PLAN WILL REQUIRE SOME ADDIONAL TIME. AND IT WILL REQUIRE BUY IN BY THE DISTRICT COURT, THE RECEIVER, LENDERS, PUBLIC

143
00:39:36.707 --> 00:39:52.823
FUNDE STAKEHOLDERS. ONCE WE WOULD GET FUNDING IN PLACE, WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S -- BEFORE WE CAN GET FUNDING IN PLACE, WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE BUDGET WOULD BE AND WHAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE. GIVEN WE'VE ANSWERED THAT

144
00:39:52.823 --> 00:40:08.271
THRESHOLD QUESTION THAT THE BUILDINGS ARE WORTH BEING SAVED. AND THEN WE WOULD GO THROUGH CONTRACTING, BIDDING, AND REDEVELOPMENT, AND REHAB UNTIL THE PROJECTS COMPLETED. THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, CPED'S ROLE IS TO HELP COORDINATE WITH

145
00:40:08.271 --> 00:40:23.353
OUR PARTNERS, MONITOR PROGRESS ANDELP IDENTIFY FUNDING SOLUTIONS THAT HELP SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHILE IMOVING LIVING CONDITIONS FOR THE RESIDENTS. OUR GOAL IS NOT TO ADDRESS TODAY' ISSUES, BUT THE POSITION FOR HERITAGE PARK'S LONG-TERM SUCCESS.

146
00:40:23.353 --> 00:40:42.840
AND THAT WILL KE TIME. NUMBER SIX,NOTHER IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS EFFORT INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING THE PUBLIC PROPERTIES INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC WORKS MAINTAINS RECORDS

147
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:58.255
RELATED TO THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. BUT DOES NOT POSSESS THE COMPREHENSIVE ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT FOR THE ENTIRE SITE OF HERITAGE PARK. WE ARE WORKING AS STAFF TO IDENTIFY THOSE DOCUMENTS FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER INCLUDING

148
00:40:58.255 --> 00:41:14.638
ENGINEERING REPORTS AND TECHNICAL ASSESSMENTS THAT WERE CONDUCTE OVER YEARS BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT AND OVER THE YEARS OF THE DEVELOPMEN THOSE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INTO THE CITY'S HANDS BY THE END OF JULY. WE WILL BE COLLECTING THOSE AND THOSE THAT ARE PUBLIC, WE WILL

149
00:41:14.638 --> 00:41:29.620
SHARE WITHHE COUNCIL. THE RECEIVER WHO HAS BEEN WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY AND TRANSPARENTALLY WITH THE CITY STAFF HAS INDICED A WILLINGNESS TO AUTHORIZE THE RELEASE OF ALL OF THE REPORTS ALLOWING FOR EVERYBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERITAGE PARK.

150
00:41:29.620 --> 00:41:51.675
SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PRIVATE O PROPERTY ISSUES WE'VE DISCUSSED AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. PUBLIC WORKS CONTINUES TO

151
00:41:51.675 --> 00:42:08.358
MAINTAIN STREETS, SIDEWALKS, BIKE FACILITIES, STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE, LIGHTING, FIRE HYDRANTS THAT SURROUND HERITAGE PARK. RECENT WORK INCLUDES ADA PEDESTRIANIZATION IMPROVEMENTS, ROADWAY RESURFACING WHICH I

152
00:42:08.358 --> 00:42:22.072
BELIEVE IS HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK, ORMWATER MAINTENANCE, LED LIGHTING UPGRADES, AND ROUTINE INSPECTIONS FOR ALL FIRE HYDRANTS. THESE PUBLIC ASSETS WILL REMAIN IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITIONS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE MAINTAINED REGARDLESS OF WORK OCCURRING ON

153
00:42:22.072 --> 00:42:42.025
THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CONCERNS INVOLVES MOISTURE INTRUSION. AND THE CONDITIONS THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO MOLD. REGULATORY SERVICES ADDRESSES THE UNDERLYING HOUSING CODE

154
00:42:42.025 --> 00:42:57.641
VIOLATIONS THAT CREATED THESE CONDITIONS INCLUDING WATER INTRUSION, DEE -- DETERIORATING BUILDING CONDITIONS AND OTHER CONCERNS. CURRENT ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

155
00:42:57.641 --> 00:43:13.891
REMAINS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CITY'S RENTAL PROPERTY VLATIONS DASHBOARD TO PROVIDE FURTHER TRANSPARENCY THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS WORKING ALONGSIDE REGULATORY SERVICES TO SUPPORT RESIDENTS WHILE LONG-TERM BUILDING REPAIRS MOVE

156
00:43:13.891 --> 00:43:27.971
FORWARD. CURRENT EFFORTS INCLUDE PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, CONNECTING FILIES WITH ASTHMA CONTROL SUPPLIES SUCH AS HEPA

157
00:43:27.971 --> 00:43:48.926
VACUUMS, DEHUED MID FIEERS, AIR FILTERS, MATTRESS COVERS. MORE COMPREHENSIVE BUILDING ENVELOPE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL OCCUR AFTER CERTUS COMPLETES ITS MOLD ASSESSMENT AND CREATES A

158
00:43:48.926 --> 00:44:05.008
STRATEGY. THAT BRINGS US TO THE FUNDING REQUEST. THE CONDITIONS AT HERITE PARK ARE TO A POINT WHERE WE NEED TO DECOUPLE THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE AND THE OPERTY CONDITIONS HAPPENING WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT, AS YOU HEARD, THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPTY WHICH WE ANSWERED IN THE -- ATTEMPTED TO ANSWER IN

159
00:44:05.008 --> 00:44:19.856
THE RESPONSES TO THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ARE GOING TO TAKE TIME. THAT'S TIME THAT PEOPLE IN HERITAGE PARK DO NOT HAVE. WE ARE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY ASKING FOR US TO REDIRECT $2.5 MILLION OF AFFORDABLE

160
00:44:19.856 --> 00:44:37.374
HOUSING TRUST FUNDS INTO TOWARDS HERITAGE PARK. AND WE WOULD WANT TO USE THOSE FOR TWO ELIGIBLE USES. AND I'M GOING TO PRIMARILY FOCUS ON WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE USED FOR WHICH IS RELOTION ASSISTANCE.

161
00:44:37.374 --> 00:44:54.524
WE KNOW THAT 212 RESIDENTIAL HOUSEHOLDS WILL TAKE TIME AND MONEY FOR THEM TO FIND NEW, SAFETY PLACES TO LIVE. IT IS A PROCESS THAT THE CITY WILL HAVE TO STAND UP ALMOST AKIN TO AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE THAT WE HAD WITH THE

162
00:44:54.524 --> 00:45:13.810
ANNUNCIATION SHOOTING OR THE OPERATION METRO SURGE RESPONSE. WE ARE WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT TO DEVEL THAT PLAN AND WE NEED RESOURCES TO HELP THE PEOPLE AT HERITAGE PARK. THE OTHER SOURCE OF FUNDING OR

163
00:45:13.810 --> 00:45:29.259
THAT WOULD BE AUTHORIZED WITH THIS ACTION WOULD BE TO HELP WITH EMERGENCY REPAIRS. WE WOULD HAVE A FOCUS ON EMERGENCY REPAIRS THAT ARE ONLY IN EVENT OF US NEEDING TO DO THOSE REPAIRS WHILE WE'RE TRYING TO RELOCATE PEOPLE.

164
00:45:29.259 --> 00:45:46.242
WE ARE NOT TRYING TO INVEST INTO HERITAGE PARK IF WE DON'T KNOW THE THRESHOLD QUESTION OF IF THIS BUILDING IS WORTH SAVING. THAT IS CONVERSATION THAT WE NEED TO HAVE CALMLY AND COLLECTIVELY WITH E MULTIPLE FUNDERS, THE OWNER, THE COURT

165
00:45:46.242 --> 00:46:01.591
ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING, AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE AT HERITAGE PARK FIRST. THE AUTHORITY THAT WE'RE SEEKING TODAY ALSO GRANTS ME THE -- DELEGATES THE AUTHORITY TO ME TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS AROUND THE

166
00:46:01.591 --> 00:46:18.075
FINAL SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE USE OF THESE FUNDS SO THAT WE CAN MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE WILL BE WORKING UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, AND THE OTHER FUNDERS. WE HAVE ASKED THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY TO HELP

167
00:46:18.075 --> 00:46:35.191
US WITH THE RELOCATION PLANNING AND TO BE AEAD AGENCY IN FINDING NEW PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE. THIS IS A WAY FOR US AS A STAFF TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. THE IDEA HERE IS TO HAVE IN THE

168
00:46:35.191 --> 00:46:56.212
NEXT NUMBER OF DAYS TO WEEK A PLAN AND THEN TO START ADMINISTERING RELOCATION ASSISTANCE AS SOON AS WE HAVE A PLAN TO EXECUTE.

169
00:46:56.212 --> 00:47:13.463
HEART IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY ABOUT WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. BECAUSE IT  NOT CPED OR THE CITY'S -- IT IS NOT OUR TYPICAL COURSE OF WORK TO HAVE TO RESCUE A PROJECT LIKE HERITAGE PARK.

170
00:47:13.463 --> 00:47:30.080
AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US, FROM THE STAFF PERSPECTE, TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU ABOUT HOW FOCUSED WE ARE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AT HERITAGE PARK AND HOW THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE SITUATION. IT WILL HAVE A CONSEQUENCE ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND.

171
00:47:30.080 --> 00:47:46.763
BUT IIS MORE IMPORTANT FOR US TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THESE CONDITIONS NOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION LATER THIS YEAR. WITH THAT, ALONG WITH THE STAFF THAT ARE IN THE ROOM, I'M OPEN

172
00:47:46.763 --> 00:48:04.014
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR HANSEN. AND THEN MEMBERS, WE'LL GO INTO DISCUSSION SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. FIRST WE HAVE IN QUEUE COUNCIEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR.

173
00:48:04.014 --> 00:48:18.695
I HAVE SOM QUESTIONS AUT SLIDE SEVEN IF YOU WANT TO PULL THAT UP, PLEASE. SO IT LOOKS LIKE AS A CITY, WE'VE INVESTED 2.5 -- OR EXCUSE

174
00:48:18.695 --> 00:48:35.479
ME $4.3 MILLION IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS IN THISRIVATE SECTOR PROJECT. AND NOW WITH THIS ADDITIONAL $2.5 MILLION, IT WILL BE $6.8 MILLION ALMOST $7 MILLION. DOES THIS STOP THE BLEEDING? ARE WE GNG TO CONTINUE THAT?

175
00:48:35.479 --> 00:48:52.796
THAT'S ABOUT $2 MILLION A YEAR WE'RE GIVINGHIS PROJECT. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT NEEDED, DON'T GET ME WRONG. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE, THE TABLE MIGHT BE A LITTLE CONFUSING. $4.3 MILLION WAS THE INITIAL INVESTMENT OF THE CITY BACK IN THE EARLY 2000S.

176
00:48:52.796 --> 00:49:08.511
SO THAT'S IN A DEFERRED LOAN. THE ARTICULATION OF IESTMENTS IN '22-'26, THOSE ARE INDIVIDUAL YEARLY CONTRIBUTIONS. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A

177
00:49:08.511 --> 00:49:26.063
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, A MIXED-INCOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTO NEED TO GO BACK TO PUBLIC AGENCIES FOR ADDITIONAL RESOCES. WE WERE HOPING THAT THIS WAS A WAY TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF GETTING UNITS TURNED.

178
00:49:26.063 --> 00:49:42.145
WE WERE NOTICING THAT MORE AND MORE OF THE UNITS WERE VACANT BECAUSE THEY WEN'T HABITABLE SO WE WERE TRYING TO GET THEM BACK ON BECAUSE IF YOU CAN HELP GET A OCCUPIED UNIT, YOU HAVE AN OCCUPIED HOUSING UNIT IN A TIME WHEN PEOPLE NEED SAFE HOUSING AND YOU GET REVENUE TO HELP WITH THE STABILITY OF THIS

179
00:49:42.145 --> 00:50:01.297
DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT'S THE RATIONALE BEHIND 3,' AND 25. THE $2.5 MILLION DOES NOT STOP THE BLEEDING. THE $2.5 MILLION GIVES US RESOURCES WHERE WE'LL HAVE TO

180
00:50:01.297 --> 00:50:17.581
ASK THE COUNTY, MPHA, AND OTHERS IF THEY CAN HELP FUND IT AS WELL. IT'S A VERY FLUID SITUATION SO I'M NOT ABLE TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE'LL BE SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT YET. BUT THE $2.5 MILLION IS TO ADDRESS THE LIVING CONDITIONS OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE, AFTER

181
00:50:17.581 --> 00:50:35.098
WHICH THERE IS A FULL CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN AT HERITAGE PARK. AND THAT'S A FULL RECAPITALIZATION OF HERITAGE PARK. AND THAT WILL BE IN THE TEN OF AND IN THAT, THERE'S POTENTIAL REQUESTS FROM PUBLIC ENTITIES FOR FUNDING.

182
00:50:35.098 --> 00:50:51.648
THE $5.125 MILLION THAT COMES FROM MINNESOTA HOUSING IS CONTEMPLATED AS ONE OF THOSE SOURCES F THE MAJOR REHAB OF HERITAGE PARK. BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME,E'RE JUST TRYING TO SETTLE WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE AND HOW THE PEOPLE ARE LIVING AND THEN HE THOSE

183
00:50:51.648 --> 00:51:08.098
CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE THEY'LL BE VERY COMPLICATED. I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT HERITAGE PARK RIGHT NOW SEEMS TO BE LIKE CONSTRUCTING A THREE DIMENSIONAL PUZZLE AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THAT THOUGHTFUL AND BEING MINDFUL OF THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT AND WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE PUBLIC INVESTMENT IF ANY WHEN IT COMES

184
00:51:08.098 --> 00:51:23.346
TO HERITAGE PARK. BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT ON THE BACKS OF THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE NOW. >> THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT THE PEOPLE COME FIRST BECAUSE OF COURSE I'M SURE ALL OF US SHARE THAT CONCERN. ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE FOR FINANCES, HOW MUCH DS THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING

185
00:51:23.346 --> 00:51:39.862
AUTHORITY SAY THEY HAVE OPER OPERATING AND REPAIR SUPPORT ONGOING? WHAT DO THEY PUT INTO THIS? LIKE A YEARLY FIGURE OR TOTAL OF E LAST FOUR YEARS? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE, WE DID

186
00:51:39.862 --> 00:51:59.149
NOT HAVE THAT SPECIFIC NUMBER PUT INTO THE RESPONSE. WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU IN ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSE WITH THAT NUMBER. >> OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU. TODAY.LL BE VOTG FOR THIS >> THANK YO NEXT WE HAVE IN QUEUE IS

187
00:51:59.149 --> 00:52:15.531
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR.. I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR HANSEN, FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE LEGISLATIVE

188
00:52:15.531 --> 00:52:32.081
DIRECTIVE THAT I SUBMITTED EARLIER ASKING ABOUT THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE HOUSING INSPECTIONS AND OTHER REGULATORY ACTIVITY AT HERITAGE PARK. PAST, CURRENT, AND FUTURE

189
00:52:32.081 --> 00:52:50.667
RESIDENT OUTREACH EFFORTS SUMMARY AND COORDINATION EFFORTS RECEIVER AND THE CURRENT PROPERTY MANAGER ONLINE MAINTENANCE. I WANTED TO GO BACK TO WHERE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE RENTAL

190
00:52:50.667 --> 00:53:08.218
LICENSING WITH HERITAGE PA. HOW WAS A RENTAL LICENSE ISSUED IN 2025 AND WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR REMOVAL OF THAT LICENSE IN 2019? JUST SO THAT THIS INFORMATION HERE GOES ON THE RECORD. CAN I GET SOMEBODY TO ANSWER

191
00:53:08.218 --> 00:53:23.800
THAT QUESTION PUBLICLY FOR ME, PLEASE? >> CHA CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. I'M GOING TO DEFER TO DIRECTOR

192
00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:39.916
VELASQUEZ ABOUT THAT. >> THANK YOU KINDLY, SIR. CAN YOU BRING YOUR MIC DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. >> I'M A LITTLE BIT SHORTER THAN DIRECTOR HANSEN. SO THE QUESTION HOW IS THE RENTAL LICENSE ISSUED IN 2025?

193
00:53:39.916 --> 00:53:57.133
AND WHAT LED UP TO E REMOVAL OF THE RENTAL LICENSE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY INPLACE. SO FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE LAND ITSELF IS OWNED BY MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY. SO WHEN OUR RENTAL LICENSING

194
00:53:57.133 --> 00:54:14.083
INSPECTORS CONDUCT OUR ANALYSIS, WE LOOK FOR RENTAL LICENSING AND LOOK TO S WHETHER A PROPERTY REQUIRES RENTAL LICENSING. IT APPEARS LIKE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S McCORMICK BARREN

195
00:54:14.083 --> 00:54:29.766
THAT OWNS THE BUILDINGS, THE STRUCTURES ON TOP OF PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY'S LAND. SO WE HAVE BEEN WORNG FOR QUITE SOME TIME WITH THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY TO GAIN RENTAL LICENSING FOR ALL OF THEIR PORTFOLIO. AND HADT REACHED THAT POINT

196
00:54:29.766 --> 00:54:45.248
UNTIL THE STATE LEGISLATURE MADE A CHANGE IN 2024 REQUIRING ALL PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ENGAGE IN RENT OF HOUSING DWELLING UNITS TO HOLD A VALID RENTAL LICENSE WITHIN THE JURISDICTION WHICH

197
00:54:45.248 --> 00:55:00.997
THEY OPERATE. THAT'S WHAT LED -- AND THE EFFECTIVE DATE ON THAT WAS JANUARY OF 2025. THAT'S WHAT LED US TO LICENSE THAT ENTIRE PTFOLIO IN 2025. AND WHEN THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY PROVIDED US WITHHEIR ENTIRE ROSTER OF THEIR

198
00:55:00.997 --> 00:55:18.581
PROPERTIES AND LOCATIONS, THIS LOCATION WAS ABSENT FROM THEIR ROLES. THAT'S WHEN WE SAW THAT THERE WAS A GAP AND WENT BACK TO McCORMICK BARREN AND LICENSED THEM. >> OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

199
00:55:18.581 --> 00:55:35.665
AND WHAT WERE THE CONDITIONS BASED ON THE INSPECTION REPORT SUMMARY THAT WAS PROVIDED AND ALSO PRESENTED AT THE COMMUNITY MEMBER MEETINGS THAT I HELD AT SUMMIT ACADEMY OIC, THERE IS AN INSPECTION REPORT THAT GOES

200
00:55:35.665 --> 00:55:51.680
ALONG WITH HOW RENTAL LICENSES ARE ISSUED BASED ONROPERTY INSPECTIONS. SO BEING THAT WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CURRENT CONDITIONS ARE AND THE DRASTIC MEASURES AND MEANS THAT WE HAVE

201
00:55:51.680 --> 00:56:08.898
TO NOW TAKE AND EMBARK UPON AS A CITY THAT THESE THINGS DID NOT OCCUR OVERNIGHT, THAT IT TOOK YEARS FOR THE DECAY, IT TOOK YEARS FOR THE MOLD TO BE AS PREVALENT AS IT IS. I AM DEFINITELY TRYING TO

202
00:56:08.898 --> 00:56:25.982
UNDERSTAND WHY DID IT TAKE LITTLE OLD MEASLY ME TO COME HERE AND SIT ON THIS COUNCIL AND BE ELECTED FOR INDIVIDUALS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS AT HERITAGE PARK. SO HOW WAS THAT LICENSE ISSUED AND INSTRUMENTED? HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

203
00:56:25.982 --> 00:56:41.397
THANK YOU. >> CERTAINLY. CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, AS WE THOUGHT THIS WAS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, THE AGREEMENT WITH PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY IN RESPONSE TO A PRIOR LAWSUIT THAT WAS SETTL WAS

204
00:56:41.397 --> 00:56:58.981
THAT THE CITY WOULD HANDLE COMPINTS. SO WE WOULD RECEIVE COMPLAINTS WE WERE NOT CONDUCTING PROACTIVE RENTAL LICENSE INSPECTIONS AT THAT TIME. SO AS WE RECEIVED THESE COMPLAINTS, WE WOULD GO AND INSPECT THEM AND PASS THE INFORMATION TO THEUBLIC

205
00:56:58.981 --> 00:57:15.265
HOUSING AUTHORITY AS WELL AS TO McCORMICK BARR. >> SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME, COLLEAGUES, BECAUSE I NEED TO HEAR THIS VERY CLEAR. YOU SAID YOU WENT AND CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION AND THEN PASSED THAT IORMATION ON TO

206
00:57:15.265 --> 00:57:31.613
MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY? SO ARE YOU EXPLAINING TO ME THAT THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS HAD NO JURISDICTIONAL OVERSIGHT OVER ENSURING THAT THOSE BUILDINGS WERE PAR AND NOT SUB PAR? LIKE YOU'RE DOING AN INSPECTION ON A PROPERTY.

207
00:57:31.613 --> 00:57:48.665
AND YOU SEE THAT IT IS IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION, AND YOU PASS THAT INFORMATION ON TO SOMEBODY ELSE, THERE'S NO ACTION THAT HAPPENS AT THAT TIME? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE SAYING HERE? >> WHEN WE CONDUCT THE COMPLAINT

208
00:57:48.665 --> 00:58:04.981
INSPECTION, WE ELUATE THE VALIDITY OF THE COMPLAINT TO VERIFY THAT YES, IT'S FNDED OR NO, IT'S NOT. IF IT'S FOUNDED, WE PASS THAT INFORMATION OVER TO E PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR RESOLUTION. AS WE BELIEVE TT THEY WERE THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY JUST AS WE

209
00:58:04.981 --> 00:58:20.630
WOULD FOR MARKET RATE OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY, WE PASS IT ON TO THE MANAGEMENT FOR RESOLUTION. AND IT WAS THEIR ACTION, SINCE THEY ALSOAVE THEIR OWN INSPECTIONS PROTOCOL TO FOLLOW THROUGH TO RESOLUTION, BUT WE

210
00:58:20.630 --> 00:58:36.746
DID NOT HAVE ANY SORT OF AUTHORITY TO GO IN AND VERIFY THATHE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. >> SO HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, WE HAVE A RENTAL TIERING SYSTEM. SO KNOWING THAT THERE WERE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT CAME IN PRIOR TO WHEN THE LICENSE WAS

211
00:58:36.746 --> 00:58:54.697
REMOVED AND THEN REINSTATED AND WHAT HAVE YOU, THE CASE IS, SO WHAT TIERING WAS THIS PROPERTY ISSUED A LICENSE AT AT THE TIME THAT A TIERED LICENSE WAS ISSUED? AND HOW MANY OF THOSE UNITS IN

212
00:58:54.697 --> 00:59:10.680
2025 UP UNTIL CURRENT HAS MINNEAPOLIS WALKEDINTO? HOW MANY INSPECTIONS ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN PERFORMED? >> COUNCIL MEMBER, I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION READILY

213
00:59:10.680 --> 00:59:27.263
AVAILABLE, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY RESPOND TO THAT QUESTION. >> OKAY. SO THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE DELIVERY OF MY LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE REQUEST. AND I'M JUST GOINGO SAY THAT. THE WHOLE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF ME PUTTING THIS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE OUT HERE AS I WAS BEGINNING TO DIG DEEP INTO THE

214
00:59:27.263 --> 00:59:43.145
ISSUES THAT WERE UNFOLDING AT HERITAGE PARK WAS SO THAT THERE WAS A TRACK RECORD OF UNDERSTANDING AND THAT PEOPLE IN OUR CITY DEPARENTS AND EVERYWHERE ELSE WAS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY AS IT PERTAINED TO

215
00:59:43.145 --> 00:59:58.661
WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT HERITAGE PARK. SO I BELIEVE MY COLLEAGUES TALK ABOUT INCOMPLETE DELIVERY OR DELAYED DELIVERY. I UNDERSTAND THE MEA OF WHERE WE ARE NOW. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN'T GO BACKWARDS. BUT IN US GOING FORWARD, RIGHT,

216
00:59:58.661 --> 01:00:15.845
IN US IMPLEMENTING DIRECT CHANGE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EVERY PUBLIC DLAR THAT HOLDS AN ASSIGNMENT HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS THATOMES FROM EVERY TAXPAYER, I WANT TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS THOROUGH

217
01:00:15.845 --> 01:00:32.728
INSPECTIONS THAT ARE DONE ON EVERY PROPERTY THAT IS OUT HERE AND EXISTING BEFORE RENTAL LICENSING IS ISSUED. AND THAT INDIVIDUALS AND RESIDENTS ARE NOT OVERLOOKED IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CPED AND REGULATORY SERVICES IS

218
01:00:32.728 --> 01:00:49.212
AS TIGHT AS A OG'S BOTTOM. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I DON'T SEE THAT EXISTING. AND THAT IS WHY THIS RIGHT HERE IS NOT JUST UPSETTING FOR ME, BUT IT IS DAMAGING TO MY COMMUNITY. THAT WE ARE REVISITING THESE HARMS AGAIN.

219
01:00:49.212 --> 01:01:05.328
THAT THE PAIN AND PERPETUATION OF MARGINALIZATION AND DISTRUST AND DAMAGE TO FAMILIES CONTINUES TO CYCLE ITSELF OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHILE WE PLAY A GAME OF PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.

220
01:01:05.328 --> 01:01:21.310
I APOLOGIZE TO THE RESIDENTS OF MY WARD. BECAUSE NOW AS I'M SITTING IN THIS SEAT, I MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M OPPOSING EVERYTHING THAT I RAN FOR. BECAUSE I'M HAVING TO BACKTRACK

221
01:01:21.310 --> 01:01:39.728
BEHIND PEOPLE AND GO DO SUBSEQUENT INSPECTIONS MYSELF. AND I CAN'T TRUST THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND RULATORY SERVICES. THAT I HAVE TO SHOW UP ON THE SITE WHILE THEY'RE CUTTING OPEN

222
01:01:39.728 --> 01:01:57.413
BUILDINGS SO I CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE TRUTH IS BNG TOLD TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND THE CONITUENTS OF MY WARD. THAT I HAVE TO WALK THROUGH BUILDINGS AND CLIMB STAIRWELL

223
01:01:57.413 --> 01:02:12.962
WHERE THERE'S NO HEAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MY CONSTITUENTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS. AND THAT THEY'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH. AND I SIT AT A COMMUNITY MTING WITH ABOUT 80 OR SO OF MY RESIDENTS LAST NIGHT, AND

224
01:02:12.962 --> 01:02:29.078
LISTENED TO THEM TELL STORIES ABOUT HOW THE ONLY PEOPL LIVING IN AN EIGHT UNIT BUILDING BY THEMSELVES AND THEIR HOMES ARE RIDDLED WITH RATS AND THEY'RE BEING HELD HOSTAGE IN THEIR BEDROOMS BY RATS. AND THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THEIR

225
01:02:29.078 --> 01:02:44.961
STOVES. AND THEIR CEILINGS ARE HANGING. AND THEY HAVE CALLED AND THEY'VE REACHED OUT A NUMBER OF TIME NOT JUST SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, BUT WAY BEFORE A LONG TIME AGO.

226
01:02:44.961 --> 01:03:00.977
THEN I HEAR PEOPLE SIT AND SAY HOW THEY'VE LOST THEIR HOUSING VOUCHER AND BEEN RETALIATED AGAINST. FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LIVING CONDITIONS. FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAFETY AND THE SANCTITY OF A PLACE THAT

227
01:03:00.977 --> 01:03:16.592
THEY SHOULD CALL HOME. A DOOR THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CLOSE, TO SHUT OUT THE ILLS OF THE WORLD AND FEEL SAFE. THAT THEY ARE ENDANGERED AND

228
01:03:16.592 --> 01:03:32.775
ENTRAPPED WITH THEIR SHOULDERS PENT UP AGAINST THE WALL WITH NOWHERE ELSE TO GOECAUSE THEIR LOW INCOME, MODERATE OR NO INCOME. THAT THEY ARE PUNISHED AND

229
01:03:32.775 --> 01:03:48.858
REPROVED FOR NOT HAVING THE MEANS AND FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE DESERVING OF. THIS IS SICKENING.

230
01:03:48.858 --> 01:04:08.311
THIS HURTS ME EXTREMELY BAD. AND I KNOW IT HURTS THE CONSTITUENTS OF THIS WARD. IT SHOULD HURT EVERY TAXPAYER HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS.

231
01:04:08.311 --> 01:04:23.993
TO KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE RIGHT HERE WHERE WE SAY WE STAND UP F OUR NEIGHBORS. I HAD THREE DIFFERENT TRANSLATORS THERE LAST NIGHT. MOTHERS SITTING THERE SAYING

232
01:04:23.993 --> 01:04:38.507
ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH TO THE HOSPITAL AND TELLING PEOPLE AT THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND TELLING MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY AND CALLING 311 WITH THE CITY FOR YEARS.

233
01:04:38.507 --> 01:04:55.024
PELE WITH NOW CANCER DIAGNOSES. PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THERE CURRENTLY ON OXYGEN MACHINES. PEOPLE WHO A SIGNING ROI'S WITH ME. AND IF I CAN WALK IN THERE AND SEE THIS, I'M TRYING TO

234
01:04:55.024 --> 01:05:11.440
UNDERSTAND IS IT JUST- VISION OR HAS EVERYBODY ELSE GOT THE SAME ONE I GOT. BECAUSE THISS DISRESPECT. IT'S INHUMANE.

235
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:27.122
I'M FIGHTING FOR THE $2.5 MILLION BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT, THE RELOCATION OF THE 686 RESIDENTS AT HERITAGE PARK NEEDS TO BE TREATED WITH THE MOST

236
01:05:27.122 --> 01:05:43.072
DELICATE CARE EVER KNOWN TO MAN. I'VE WALKED IN THOSE UNITS AND GONE IN TO SEE A LOT OF THOSE RESIDENTS. AND I KNOW NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN THERE BUT ME. AND AIN'T NOBODY ELSE COMING.

237
01:05:43.072 --> 01:06:01.724
I KNOW THAT. I WANT PEOPLE TREATED WITH DIGNITY ANDESPECT BEFORE THEY'RE COUNTED ON A SHEET OF PAPER LIKE A NUMBER. I WANT YOU TO HEAR AND EXAMINE

238
01:06:01.724 --> 01:06:18.774
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR CRIES AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS AND GIVE THEM THE SAME RESPECT THAT YOU'D GIVE YOUR OWN CHILD, PARENT, OR WHOEVER IT IS THAT'S VALUABLE IN YOUR LIFE.

239
01:06:18.774 --> 01:06:34.123
YOU BETTER TREAT THEM THEXACT SAME WAY OR BETTER. OR I PROMISE IT WILL BE HELL TO TELL THE CAPTAIN. I'M NORTH SIDE. AND I'M GOING TO BE THERE. THIS IS JUST THE WORST OF THE WORST IN MY WARD.

240
01:06:34.123 --> 01:06:50.239
JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. BUT I SUGGEST SOMEBODY CLEAN IT UP QUICK OR YOU GONNA GET SICK AND TIRED OF ME.

241
01:06:50.239 --> 01:07:08.357
THE END. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN. NEXT IS COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO ECHO COUNCILMEMBER WARREN'S LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU

242
01:07:08.357 --> 01:07:25.407
RAISED, I'M ALSO STRUGGLING TO COMPREHEND BASED OFF OF TH PRESENTATION THAT WE JUST RECEIVED FROM STAFF. AND ALSO I KNOW MAYOR FREY RELEASED A PRESS STATEMENT AFFIRMING WHAT WE ALSO HEARD TODAY THAT THE CITY ONLY BECAME

243
01:07:25.407 --> 01:07:41.090
AWARE OF THE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS AT HERITAGE PARK STARTING LAST YEAR. AND AS YOU HIGHLIGHTED, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS 311 REPORTS THAT RESIDENTS HAVE SUBMITTED OVER THE YEARS DOCUMTING AND TRYING TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE

244
01:07:41.090 --> 01:07:56.472
HORRIBLE AND JUST UNACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS THAT THEY'VE BEEN LIVING IN. AND I'M ALSO TRYING TO GET SOME UNDERSTANDING AND THIS LEADS TO MY FST QUESTION OF -- AND I HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR ACTUAL EXISTING HOUSING CODE.

245
01:07:56.472 --> 01:08:14.690
SO CAN SOMEONE, IF IT'S CPED O REGULATORY SERVICES AFFIRM TO ME, ARE WE SAYING THAT NOTHING IN OUR HOUSING HOLD, I'M LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AROUND DIRECTOR'S DETERMINATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE. AND IT LISTS IN THIS SECTION THE

246
01:08:14.690 --> 01:08:31.440
DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT THE DIRECTOR THEMSELVES CAN TAKE OR EVEN GE TO COUNCIL WHEN A RENTAL OR BUILDING OR DWELLING UNIT FAILS TO MEET OUR LICENSING STANDARDS. AND IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM SHOULD MOST OF THESE UNITS HAVE

247
01:08:31.440 --> 01:08:45.821
MET THAT LICENSING STANDARD. AND THAT'S THE NT QUESTION THAT I'M GOING TO GET TO. BUT I'M TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF ARE WE SING OR BASED OFF OF YOU ALL'S FEEDBACK THAT NOTHING IN OUR HOUSING CODE COULD BE ENFORCED PRIOR TO 2025 WHEN IT

248
01:08:45.821 --> 01:09:03.672
CAME TO HERIGE PARK? ANDHILE YOU'RE MULLING THAT OVER, I'M JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT TOO FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S ONE PIECE HERE WHERE THE DIRECTOR OF REGULATORY SERVICES

249
01:09:03.672 --> 01:09:20.389
WHEN THEY FIND A RENTAL DWELLING THAT DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN SECTION 244.1920, THAT ESSENTIALLY THE LICENSE HOLDER OR APPLICANT CAN BE GIVEN 60 DAYS TO CORRECT THE DEFECTS.

250
01:09:20.389 --> 01:09:35.971
I THINK WE ARE LONG PAST 60 DAYS. AND THEN ALSO THE DIRECTOR COULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROCEED IMMEDIATELY FOR DENIAL, NONRENEWAL, REVOCATION OR REMOVAL OF THAT LICENSE BASED ON THAT SECTION.

251
01:09:35.971 --> 01:09:52.521
AND I'M NOT SEEING AN EXEMPTION IN OUR CODE ANYWHERE FOR PUBLIC HOUSING. BUT I WANTED TO GET A SENSE OF BASICALLY WAS THIS NOT ABLE TO BE APPLIED PRIOR TO 2025? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY, ESSENTIALLY THAT'S CORRECT. SINCE THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY HELD NO RENTAL

252
01:09:52.521 --> 01:10:07.769
LICENSE, WE COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH MANY OF THOSE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT YOU SPEAK OF OF THE DIRECTOR'S DETERMINES OF NONCOMPLIANCE BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO HOLD A RENTAL LICENSE WITH THE CITY AND WERE OUTSIDE OF OUR JURISDICTION.

253
01:10:07.769 --> 01:10:23.718
>> SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE COULD -- THAT MEANT THERE WAS NO INSPECTIONS BEING CARRIED OUT BY THE CITY THOUGH WE WERE RECEIVING 311 REPORTS? >> WE WERE COMPLETING COMPLAINT-BASED INSPECTIONS WHEN WE RECEIVED THEM THROUGH 311. AND THEN PASSED THE INFORMATION

254
01:10:23.718 --> 01:10:39.134
OVER BASED OFF OF OUR INSPECTION OF THOSE COMPLAINTS. THOSE WERE PASSED OVERO THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY. AND THEN PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORY HELD THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REMEDY THOSE DIFFERENT SITUAONS AND CONDUCT

255
01:10:39.134 --> 01:10:54.783
THEIR OWN INSPECTIONS. >> SO AS THE OVERSIGHT BODY OF MPHA, I KNOW THEY REPORT DIRELY TO HUD, BUT IN THAT INSTANCE, WAS THERE NO CORRECTIVE MEASURES OUTSIDE OF SUBMITTING COMPLAINTS OVER TO MPHA THAT YOU ALL COULD TAKE UP

256
01:10:54.783 --> 01:11:11.600
WHEN WE SAW OR WHEN YOU LEARNED THAT CORRECTE ACTIONS WERE NOT BEING MADE AS IT PERTAINS TO IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF THOSE UNITS? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY, ESSENTIALLY THAT'S CORRECT.

257
01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:27.149
WE COULD PAS THE COMPLAINTS OVER. IT WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE TION. AS WE RECEIVED FURTHER COMPLAINTS, IT BECAME THE CYCLE. >> WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO NOTE A STAFF MEMO FOLLOW UP ON THIS.

258
01:11:27.149 --> 01:11:42.898
BECAUSE I DO RECALL WE ACTUALLY WERE SUED, I RECALL A LAWSUIT WHERE WE WERE SUED BECAUSE OF THE CITY'S LACK OF INSPECTIONS ON PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS AND WAS FOUNDHAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSPECTING THEM. AND THISAS WAY PRIOR TO 2025.

259
01:11:42.898 --> 01:11:59.248
SO IF THERE'S ALREADY A LEGAL PRECEDENCE THAT WAS DETERMINED WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WAY PRIOR TO 2025 I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE DISCREPANCY HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS ANY UNDERSTANDING RIGHT OFF THE BAT YOU CAN REFER TO, OR IF YOU CAN GIVE THIS IN A

260
01:11:59.248 --> 01:12:15.030
STAFF FOLLOW-UP MEMO WHICH REGARDLESS I WILL NOTE. UNLESS ARE YOU, DIRECTOR, AWARE >> I WOULD LOVE TO GET THAT IN WRITING THOUGH, SO WE SHOULD GET THAT IN A MEMO. >> I'M AWARE OTHE MIRABELA CASE.

261
01:12:15.030 --> 01:12:31.914
WHICTH OUTCOME OF THAT WAS THAT WE WOULD DO THE COMPLAINT INSPECTIONS FOR MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY. BECAUSE PRIOR TO THAT POINT, WE DID NOT CONDUCT ANY INSPECTIONS ON MPHA PROPERTIES. >> AND WHAT YEAR WAS DATED FOR THAT? THE LAWSUIT WAS 2021, AND I BELIEVE THE SETTLEMENT WAS LATE

262
01:12:31.914 --> 01:12:46.127
'21 TO '22. >> SO WE DO HAVE A LEGAL SETTLEMENT THAT POTENTIALLY IN 2021 SO AHEAD OF 2025, THAT GAVE US THE ABILITY TO INSPECT MPHA'S UNITS. SO IT SOUNDSIKE AGAIN SOME

263
01:12:46.127 --> 01:13:04.612
FOLLOW UP ON THAT THEN OF WHAT WAS THE ISSUE THEN STILL? >> WE WERE AUTHORIZED TO DO COMPLAINT-BASED INSPECTIONS, NOT THE PROACTIVE INSPECTIONS, NOT TO FOLD THEM INTO OUR RENTAL LICENSING STRUCTURE, ONLY COMPLAINT BASED THROUGH 311.

264
01:13:04.612 --> 01:13:21.696
>> SO COMPLAINTS MEANING THEN YOU WOULD ONLY DO YOU RECEIVE A COMPLAINT AND THEN YOU JUST RELAY THAT COMPLAINT TO MP I'M ASSUMING THEN UNDER THAT? >> WE WOULD RECEIVE THE COMPLAINT THROUGH 311, INSPECTORS, OUR COMPLAINT-BASED

265
01:13:21.696 --> 01:13:40.315
INSPECTORS WOULD GO ON SITE AND EVALUATE WHETHER THE ISSUE WAS FOUNDED OR NOT, REPORT THE ISSUE TO THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC TO CORRECT.HORITY WITH AN ORDER AND THEN THE ISSUE WAS PASSED TO THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND RESOLVE THE

266
01:13:40.315 --> 01:13:56.998
ISSUE. >> DO YOU KNOW BETWEEN 2021, AGAIN YOU ALREADY HE THE FIGURES FOR 2025. BUTETWEEN 2021 WHEN THAT SETTLEMENT WAS FINALIZED IN 2025, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WERE FILED? >> ANECDOTALLY I CAN SAY VERY

267
01:13:56.998 --> 01:14:15.584
FEW COMPLAINTS WERE RECEIVED SPECIFICALLY THROUGH 311. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANTED BECAUSE THERE WERE NO DOLLARS INSTED INTO OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS TO TRY AND MAKE SURE PEOPLE WERE AWARE THAT THEY HAD THIS SYSTEM AND IT WAS AVAIBLE TO THEM.

268
01:14:15.584 --> 01:14:31.967
>> AND ARE STAFF -- I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, TENANTS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN MAKE COMPLAINTS? >> CORRECT, COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN ALSO MAKE COMPLAINTS. >> KNOWING THIS N'T SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT. WE HAVE A STAFF MEMBER WHO SITS

269
01:14:31.967 --> 01:14:47.883
ON THE BOARD OF THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY WHERE I'M ASSUMING THAT COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR SFF WHO WAS ALSO MADE AWARE OF THESE CONDITIONS AT HERITAGE PARK, ALSO THE MPHA COMMISSIONERS THEMSELVES, WERE THERE NO COMPLAINTS MADE BY THOSE STAFF MEMBERS OR COMMISSIONERS RELATED TO HERITAGE PARK?

270
01:14:47.883 --> 01:15:04.499
>> I'M NOT ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, IF OTHERS ARE. I C'T ANSWER THAT. >> OR DIRECTOR -- YOU HAVE BEEN THE MEMBER OR DIRECTOR HANSEN. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY, ONE OF

271
01:15:04.499 --> 01:15:21.082
THE CHALLENGES WE HAD AS A CITY STAFF TEAM WAS GETTING INFORMATION OUT OF THE OWNER ABOUT PROPERTY CONDITIONS. AND SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING, WHILE REGULATORY SERVICES WAS ABLE TO START INSPECTING IN

272
01:15:21.082 --> 01:15:36.798
2025, WE WERE NOTIVEN THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROPERTY CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT WAS GOING ON AT HERITAGE PARK WE HAVE LEARNED MORE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS WITH THE RECEIVER

273
01:15:36.798 --> 01:15:53.482
THAN THE COLLECTIVE SIX YEARS PRIOR TO THAT. AND THAT'S THE CHALLENGE THAT WE D OVER THE YEARS IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. SO N HAPPENING, WE NEED TO ACT. >> SO YOU ALL DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY ANECDOTAL INFORMATION EVEN PRIOR TO, AS STAFF?

274
01:15:53.482 --> 01:16:10.832
>> COUNCILMEMBER OR CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY, WE WERE RECEIVING INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONDITIONS IN HERITAGE PARK TO THE EXTENT OF HOW BAD IT WAS WE DID NOT HAVE TT TECHNICAL DATA UNTIL WE STARTED -- >> BUT AGAIN, I TNK WHY I'M

275
01:16:10.832 --> 01:16:27.548
ASKING FOR THE REPRESENTATION ON MPHA BECAUSE WITHIN THAT WE'RE SAYING IT'S KICKING THE CAN DOWN TO MPHA AND SAYING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE RESOLVED TSE MATTERS. WE HAVE STAFF AND WE HAVE A BOARD THAT THIS COUNCIL APPOINTS ON MPHA, THE COMMISSIONERS, NO

276
01:16:27.548 --> 01:16:44.232
ONE RAISED COMPLAINTS FORMALLY TO STAFF, ESPECIALLY INSPECTIONS. >> COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNLMEMBER WONSLEY, SO THE WA I WOULD SAY THAT IF WE TALKED TO MP, MPHA HAS

277
01:16:44.232 --> 01:17:00.415
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS AND MPHA UNITS WITHIN HERITAGE PARK, BUTHEY DO NOT OWN THE HERITAGE PARK, THAT IS OWNED BY McRMICK BARREN SALAZAR. WE WERE GETTING AS DIRECTOR VELASQUEZ SAID, WE WERE GETTING COMPLAINTS, THEY WERE RESPONDING

278
01:17:00.415 --> 01:17:15.397
TO THOSE COMPLAINTS, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW THE TOTALITY OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTIES UNTIL WE WE ABLE TO GET INSPECTIONS AND INFORMATION FROM CERTUS AS WE'VE BEEN WORKING OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF MONTHS. >> THIS IS JUST AGAIN A COMPLETE OVERSIGHT THAT'S NOT GETTING AT TH CORE FROM MY UNDERSTANDING.

279
01:17:15.397 --> 01:17:32.080
I'M ASKING FOR A COMPLAINT, MPHA COMMISSIONER OR THE STAFF COULD HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT USING THE EXISTING TOOL WE HAD GIVEN BY THAT LEGAL PRECEDENCE IN 2022, WHY THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR STAFF TO ALSO GO IN AND SAY OR COMMISSION THEMSELVES --

280
01:17:32.080 --> 01:17:48.730
ESSENTIALLY WHAT COUNCILMEMBER WARREN DID. AND TO USE A SIMPLE PHONE CAMERA AND SAY OH THIS IS REALLY CRAPPY. I'M ASSUMING THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. THAT THE QUESTION. MOVING FORWARD TO 2025 THEN, LOOKING ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE, I SAW NEARLY EVERY RENTAL LICENSE

281
01:17:48.730 --> 01:18:04.679
IN HERITAGE PARK HAD A TIER ONE RENTAL LICENSE. MEANING THE BEST. EXCEPT FOR 20 UNITS THAT WERE TIER 2 AND 6 UNITS THAT WERE TIER THREE. BUT AGAIN THE OTHER 200 UNITS THERE RECEIVED A TOP TIER LICENSE FROM THE CITY.

282
01:18:04.679 --> 01:18:19.795
SOMEONE PASE WALK ME THROUGH HOW YOU ALL CAME TO DESIGTE THESE AS TIER ONE? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBE WONSLEY, I'M APRIL

283
01:18:19.795 --> 01:18:37.345
BOGART, THE DIRECTOR OF INSPECTION SERVIC. WHEN WE -- THE TIERING SYSTEM USES A TWO YEAR LK BACK AT A HISTORY OF VIOLATIONS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE TIER. AND I BELIEVE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTIES AT HERITAGE PARK WERE GIVEN A 1D TIERING

284
01:18:37.345 --> 01:18:52.660
WHICH IS OUR DEFAULT WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO ASSIGN ANY OTHER TIER. IN SOME CASES WE HAD CONDUCTED ENOUGH COMPLAINT IPECTIONS THAT WE HAD ENOUGH OF A HISTORY THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A TWO IN SOME CASES.

285
01:18:52.660 --> 01:19:10.312
BUT I BELIEVE MOST OF THEM ARE A 1D, MEANING DEFAULT. >> SO WITH YOUR TIERING PROCESS, DOES THAT NOT AUTOMATICALLY ENTAIL AN INSPECTION SO YOU CAN VERIFY YOURSELVES? >> IT DOES NOT. THE TIERING PROCESS INVOLVES A TWO-YEAR LOOK BACK, AND IN THIS CASE, WE DID NOT HAVE A TWO YEAR

286
01:19:10.312 --> 01:19:25.460
HISTORY OF INSPECTIONS AT TS PROPERTY. >> BUT KNOWING THIS, YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO QUOTE UNQUOTE INSPECT THE PROPERTIES IN 2025, KNOWING THE UNIQUE CONDITIONS THAT YOU WILL ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR TO LOOK BACK, YOU DID NOT DO AUTOMATIC INSPECTIONS? >> WE DID NOT. >> OKAY.

287
01:19:25.460 --> 01:19:41.776
AND THAT SA, I WILL NAME AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN VOCAL ABOUT THE CITY'S TIERING PROCESS AND HOW IT ALLOWS SOME LDLORDS TO SCAPE THROUGH AND GET RENTAL LICENSES AND ALLOW RESIDENTS TO LIVE IN DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS,

288
01:19:41.776 --> 01:19:57.058
HEARING THAT MAKES ME QUESTION FURTHER HOW WE'RE APPROACHING OTHER UNITS THAT ARE JUST TIER ONE AND OUR TIERING SYSTEM. MY OTHER MAJOR CONCERN AROUND THIS IS CAN SOMEONE SPEAK TO WHY ARE WE GIVING THE RECEIVER WHO

289
01:19:57.058 --> 01:20:13.742
HAS ALSO FUMBLED IN THE HANDLING OF THIS PROPERTY, WHY ARE WE GIVING THEM $2.5 MILLION IN HOPES OF THE STABILIZATION PLAN AS OPPOSED TO USING THE CITY'S TENANT RELOCATION ASSISTANCE

290
01:20:13.742 --> 01:20:30.858
PROGRAM WHICH FOR MY NEWER COLLEAGUES, TH PROGRAM ALLOWS IN CONDITIONS LIKE THAT THAT WE'RE SEEING FOR THE CITY TO FR STABILIZED HOUSING CONDITIONS FOR TENANTS LIVING IN PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED BY THE CITY AND ARE NOT MEETING UP TO

291
01:20:30.858 --> 01:20:46.007
OUR HOUSING CODE AND THEN WE THEN GO AFTER THE LANDLORD TO RECOUP THE COST. WE ARE NOW GIVING THIS MONEY OVER TO THE RECEIVER DIRECTLY WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS PROACTIVELY AND HAVE FLED TO DO SO SO NOW WE'RE HAVING TO COME IN.

292
01:20:46.007 --> 01:21:03.325
WHY ARE WE NOT USING OUR OWN PROGRAM? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY, GOOD QUESTION. ONE OF THE THINGS I FAILED TO MENTION DURING THE PRESENTATION, IT WAS A MISS ON MY HAND. THERE ARE TWO ELIGIBLESERS OF THE FUNDING.

293
01:21:03.325 --> 01:21:20.408
THERE IS CERTUS FINANCIAL RECEIVER FOR REPAIRS AND REHABILITATION COSTS FOR HERITAGE PARK. AND THOSE WOULD BE RELATED TO SOMETHING THAT'S AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THAT WE'RE LOOKINGAT. WE WILL BE USING FUNDING FOR A

294
01:21:20.408 --> 01:21:36.491
RELOCATION SERVICE PROVIDER, TO UR POINT, FOR THE RELOCATION SERVICES. WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING OUT THAT PLAN WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND THE CITY APPARATUS, HENNEPIN COUNTY AND OTHERS. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS

295
01:21:36.491 --> 01:21:53.341
FUNDING, REVENUES TO RECLAIM FUNDING. WE'RE BEING VERY HONEST WITH YOU. RIGHT NOW HERITAGE PARK OPERATES AT LIKE A DEFICIT OF $200,000 A MONTH. SO RECLAIMING THAT FUNDING IS PROBABLY LESS LIKELY. WE WILL USE THE TOOLS WE HAVE IF

296
01:21:53.341 --> 01:22:09.391
WE CAN TO RECAPTURE THAT BUT THE IDEA IS CERTUS WOULD NOT DO THE RELOCATION, AND I DID NOT MAKE THAT CLEAR. >> AND WE COULDN'T, BECAUSE I ALSO KNOW UNDER THE TENAN RELOCATION PROGRAM, IT ALLOWS US TO SUE AND LITIGATE FOR

297
01:22:09.391 --> 01:22:26.641
RECOUPING OF COSTS. WE COULDN'T SUE THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY OWNERS TO RECOUP THAT COST THEN? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY, THAT IS A LEGAL QUESTION I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TO ANSWER. >> WITH THAT, I WILL NAME SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING, BECAUSE I

298
01:22:26.641 --> 01:22:41.356
REALIZE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN QUEUE. OF COURSE I'M MORE THAN HPY TO SUPPORT US TAKING ACTION TO GET RELOCATION OF THE 200 PLUS RESIDENTS WHO HAVE NEVER -- SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAD TO SUFFER UNR THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY'RE LIVING UNDER IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IT'S A FUMBLE ON

299
01:22:41.356 --> 01:22:58.739
THE CITY'S SIDE, THE MPHA, EVERYONE INVOLVED WHOLLOWED THISO GO FORWARD FOR MY YEARS. JUST A MASSIVE FUMBLING. SO OF COURSE I SUPPORT THE ACTION. I WILL BE WORKING WITH COUNCILMEMBER WARRENND ALSO FOLLOWING UP AND DEFINITELY

300
01:22:58.739 --> 01:23:14.122
HARASSING STAFF TO FIGURE OUT TWO PIECES. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE CITY ON THE PIECE OF TH TENANT RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND USE THAT AS A TOOL AS OPPOSED TO GIVING IT TO THE PLAYER WHO IS LITERALLY PUTTING

301
01:23:14.122 --> 01:23:31.005
US IN THIS PREDICAMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I WOULD ALSO LIK TO KNOW, MAYBE THIS IS A STAFF FOLLOW UP, OP I DON'T KNOW WHY WE CAN'T USE CONTINGENCY FUNDING ALSO AS A SOURCE. WE HEARD ABOUT ALL OF THE IMPACTS THAT WOULD BE MADE TO THE AFFORDABL HOUSING TRUST AS

302
01:23:31.005 --> 01:23:48.055
WE KEPT MAKING CUTS TO IT TO RESPOND TO OPERATION METRO SURGE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE NOT USING CONTINGENCY FUNDS, THIS LLS UNDER AN EMERGENCY EXPENSE WE DID NOT SEE AS A CITY. I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH COUNCILMEMBER WARREN ON

303
01:23:48.055 --> 01:24:04.572
EXPLORING THAT AHEAD OF THURSDAY. I JUST WANT TO NOTE THA FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, ST ECHOING YOUR LEADERSHIP. ALSO FOR BLOWING THE WHISTLE ON THIS. YOU DID WHAT MANY STAFF WHO GOT PAID TONS OF MONEY TO DO FAILED TO DO. AND YOU ALSO DEMONSTRATED THE

304
01:24:04.572 --> 01:24:22.423
POWER OF COUNCIL USING OUR OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY, BE IT WITH A PHONE, WITH GOING AND DOING DOOR KNOCKS, WITH CONNECTING WITH OUR RESIDENTS AND SEEING HOW THEY'RE LIVING REPEATEDLY AN BRINGING ATTENTION TO IT. AND WHILE IT MIGHT BE

305
01:24:22.423 --> 01:24:37.939
UNCOMFORTABLE, MANY OF US HAVE FACED PUSHBACKS WHEN WE'VE DONE THESE THINGS. THIS IS JUST A TESTAMENT TO YOUR LEADSHIP AND YOUR CONST CONSTITUENTS, SPECIFICAY BLACK FOLKS WHO SHOULDN'T BE GIVEN THE WORST AND DESERVE QUALITY, AND

306
01:24:37.939 --> 01:24:54.355
AFFORDABLE AND DIGNIFIED HOUSING. AND I HOPE IN THE MIDST OF ALL 'RE DOING, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO, NOT JUST FOR HERITAGE PARK, BUT FOR EVERY SINGLE RESIDENTS. SO I WANT TOCHO KUDOS TO YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. I'M NEXT IN QUEUE. I JUST WANTED TO START OFF BY

307
01:24:54.355 --> 01:25:11.940
SAYING THA I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW ANGRY I AM RIGHT NOW. AND THAT PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE GRIEF, THE ANGER, THE FRUSTRATIO THAT I'VE SEEN MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE GO ROUGH.

308
01:25:11.940 --> 01:25:28.323
AND PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE PAIN OF THE CONSTITUENTS IN THERE. I THINK IT'S REAY IMPORTANT TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN HERITAGE PARK AND WHAT THAT'S LOOKED LIKE. THERE'S MOLD EVERYWHERE. IT'S ON THE WALLS. COUNCILMEMBER WARREN SHARED A LOT OF THOSE DETAILS WITH ME AND MY TEAM.

309
01:25:28.323 --> 01:25:47.508
THERE IS BROKEN PLUMNG. THERE'S CLOTHING TTED TO THE FLOOR. THERE'S PEOPLE SITTING BY THEMSELVES IN A ONE UNIT BUILDING. THERE'S PEOPLE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH DUE TO THE MOLD. THERE'S HOLES IN THE CEILING.

310
01:25:47.508 --> 01:26:04.125
AND THE LIST JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON. I INK THE VIDEO THAT COUNCILMEMBER WARREN POSTED ON HER OFFICIAL SIDE FACEBOOK DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB OF ILLUSTRATING JUST IN PART HOW DEPLORABLE AND UNDIGNIFIED THOSE

311
01:26:04.125 --> 01:26:19.540
CONDITIONS ARE. AND THERE'S NO WAY. THERE'S NO WAY THAT THAT COULD HAPPEN I JUST A SINGLE YEAR. THIS IS A COMPOUNDING ISSUE FOR SURE. I HAVE A LOT OF FRUSTRATION WITH

312
01:26:19.540 --> 01:26:36.991
HOW WE'RE PROCEEDING. I AM SUPPORTIVE OF GETTING THE HELP THAT NEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO THE HERITAGE PARK RESIDENTS. BUT I AM CONCERNED IN THE WAY TH WE ARE MOVING ABOUT HOW

313
01:26:36.991 --> 01:26:52.607
CARING FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE THERE. WE'RE HAVING A DISCUION ABOUT A $2.5 MILLION ALLOCATION ON THE FLY ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE THIS WAS BROUGHT TO US LAST MINUTE, HIGHLY IRREGULAR. AND I SAY THAT NOT TO BLAME

314
01:26:52.607 --> 01:27:08.756
ANYBODY, BUT TO SAY THAT PUTS THIS COUNCIL IN A DIFFICULT POSITION BY THE ADMINISTRATION. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT POSITION TO BE IN. ONE THING THAT I'LL JUST NOTE RIGHT UP ATHE TOP, THERE NEEDS

315
01:27:08.756 --> 01:27:23.737
TO BE BETTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ALL OF US HERE IN THE CITY. CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR'S OFFICE, AND OUR DEPARTMENTS. D I'M NOT SEEING THAT HAPPEN CURRENTLY. AND THE PLACE THAT I CAN POINT TO IS IT'S EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING THAT WE HAVE THIS LAST MINUTE

316
01:27:23.737 --> 01:27:38.719
ITEM COMING BEFORE US AND THERE'S A PRESS RELEASE SENT OUT BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A BRIEFING OR A CHANC TO GO THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE. AND QUOTE IN THAT PRESS RELEASE

317
01:27:38.719 --> 01:27:55.102
IT SAYS THE 20-YEAR-OL COMPLEX FELL INTO DISREPAIR LAST YEAR. THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE. AND IT GIVES ME PAUSE ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE ARE SENDING OUT TO CONSTITUENTS BEFORE WE GET TO HAVE A CONVERSATIO TOGETHER BEFORE COUNCIL MEMRS

318
01:27:55.102 --> 01:28:12.953
WHO HAVE TO VOTE ON $2.5 MILLION TO HELP RESIDENTS. OUR ABILITY TO STAND UP AND SAY THAT WE ACTUALLY DID OUR JOB. TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS MATTER. SO A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE KIND OF GOING INTO THIS. DIRECTOR HANSEN YOU SAID THAT

319
01:28:12.953 --> 01:28:29.170
THERE ARE 286 RESIDENTS THAT WILL NEED TO BE RELOCATED. IS THAT ACCURATE? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, TO THE BEST OF OUR INFORMATION, 686 RESIDENTS IN 212 HOUSEHOLDS. >> 212 HOUSEHOLDS.

320
01:28:29.170 --> 01:28:45.653
>> 686 RESIDENTS ACCORDING TO THE RECEIVER. >> HOW MANY OF THOSE UNITS ARE IN DISREPAIR? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE PRECISE DATA OF WT THE

321
01:28:45.653 --> 01:29:04.538
LEVELS OF CONDITIONS ARE. BUT WE'RE TO THE POINT WHERE IN ORDER FOR US T REALLY MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF WHATREPAIRS NEED TO HAPPEN, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THERE HAVE A PLACE TO BE AND THEN WE CAN COINUE THAT WORK. WE'VE HAD MOLD INSPECTORS OUT .

322
01:29:04.538 --> 01:29:21.155
LAST WEEK. WE'RE GIVING A SECOND OPINION THIS WEEK, CERT BROUGHT OUT A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER YESTERDAY AND TODAY. WE HAD OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL OUT THERE SHADOWING AND OFFICIALS FROM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SHADOWING THAT WORK.

323
01:29:21.155 --> 01:29:36.671
REGULATORY SERVIS HAS BEEN SHADOWING THE MOLD INSPECTIS. WE'RE CONTINUING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COITIONS. WE'RE STARTING TO ANSWER THAT THRESHOLD QUESTION OF IS IT WORTH SAVING THE BUILDINGS OR NOT. WE HAVE NOT ANSWERED THAT QUESTION, AND UNTIL WE HA THAT

324
01:29:36.671 --> 01:29:53.087
QUESTION, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STRATEGY WOULD BE FOR HERITAGE PARK AND THE BUILDINGS. SO WE WAN TO DECOUPLE THE PEOPLE FROM THE BUILDINGS. >> SO SINCE WE ARE RELOCATING INDIVIDUALS, DOES THAT MEAN WE ARE REVOKING THE RENTAL LICENSE? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, WE ARE NOT TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE MADE

325
01:29:53.087 --> 01:30:08.970
THAT DECISION. EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE. I HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON STANDING UP THE RESPONSE FOR RELOCATION AND THEN THOSE OTHER THINGS WOULD COME AFTER THAT. WE'RE FOCUSED -- MY CONVERSATIO DIRECTOR SAYERBOUT HOW TO STRUCTURE WHAT A RESPONSE WOULD

326
01:30:08.970 --> 01:30:25.620
LOOK LIKE, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE FOR 212 INDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDS ALL WITH THEIR UNIQUE NEEDS, WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE A FORCE OF STAFF THAT WOULD WORK ON IT IN A COORDINATED WAY WITH OUR COLLEAGUES AT THE MINAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY AND

327
01:30:25.620 --> 01:30:41.769
HENNEPIN COUNTY TO SEE WHAT WE COULD DO TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GETTING THERE AND THEN THOSE THINGS WOULD COME LATER. AS I SAID, THIS IS A VERY FID SITUATION. SO NOT EVERYTHING IS ANSWERED AT THIS POINT INTIME. >> I REALLY RECOMMEND WE FIND A WAY WHERE WE CAN BOTH DECOUPLE THE PEOPLE FROM THIS AND HELP

328
01:30:41.769 --> 01:30:56.751
THEM AND REVOKE THAT LICENSE OR AT LEAST NOT GIVE THEM A 1D TIERING STATUS. >> UNDERSTOOD.

329
01:30:56.751 --> 01:31:13.000
>> DO YOU KNOW OF THE UNITS THAT ARE THERE, IF THEY'RE THE STATUS OF BEING CONDEMNED OR CONDEMNABLE? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT DAT NOW. >> IS THERE ANY PRELIMINARY INFORMATION? >> I'M A LAYPERSON, IT'S BAD.

330
01:31:13.000 --> 01:31:29.616
IT'S BAD. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ENGAGING WITH REGULATORY SERVICES, BUT ALSO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF THE BUILDING. THE TECHNICAL REPORTS, THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING REPORTS THAT WILL BE COMING OUT THIS WEEK TO GET AN ASSESSMENT OF

331
01:31:29.616 --> 01:31:45.166
WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE AT THAT DECISION POINT. >> DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE HERE AND WILL BE RELOCATED ARE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE SECTION 8 VOUCHERS?

332
01:31:45.166 --> 01:32:02.683
>> CHA CHOWDHURY, I DON'T HAVE THIS PRECISE NUMBER OF SECTION 8 VOUCHER HOLDERS. I KNOW THERE ARE00 PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY UNITS WITHIN IT. AND I'M JUST GOING TO -- ABOUT

333
01:32:02.683 --> 01:32:18.799
160 ADDITIONAL UNITS WITH SECTION 8. >> I'LL ASK FOR A FOLLOW UP JUST FOR THE PRECISE NUMBER BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS THAT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE CARE. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE

334
01:32:18.799 --> 01:32:34.715
CARE FROM THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, CERTUS, AND THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY. DID YOU ASK MPHA TO COME HERE TODAY TO BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO THIS BODY? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, WE DID ASK

335
01:32:34.715 --> 01:32:49.896
FOR THEIR PRESENCE IN THE MEETING, BE YOU THEY DE -- BUT THEY DECLINEDO COME. >> DID THEY GIVE A REASON WHY THEY DECLINED TO COME? >> THEY DID NOT. I DO NOT HAVE THE REASONS. >> THEYID NOT GIVE A REASON FOR WHY?

336
01:32:49.896 --> 01:33:07.815
>> I DO NOT HAVE THE REASONS. >> I THINK THAT'S DEEPLY CONCERNING THAT MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY IS NOT HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AT HERITAGE PARK SINCE THERE ARE TENANTS THAT USE

337
01:33:07.815 --> 01:33:22.430
SECTION 8 VOUCHERS AND THIS IS ON MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY LAND AND ALL OF THE COMPLAINT-BASED INSPECTIONS AS WE LEARNED WERE GETTING PASSED OFF TO MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY. I'LL ALSO SHARE, I THINK THERE'S

338
01:33:22.430 --> 01:33:40.747
A LOT OF TIME BETWEEN 2025 AND A COMPLAINT-BASED INSPECTION COULD HAVE INDICATED I YOU WENT INTO THAT BUILDING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING COMPLETELY WRONG GOING ON. AND I GUESS I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION IF THE COUNCIL MEMBER

339
01:33:40.747 --> 01:33:58.199
OF THE WARD WILL ALLOW ME TO ASK HER, CERTUS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THE ROOM. BUT YOU'VE HAD COMMUNICATIONS WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS. I'M REALLY STRAINING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR ROLE HAS BEEN IN THIS AND I THINK WE'RE

340
01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:15.249
FAILING TO FULLY UNDERSTOOD THEIR ROLE IN THE DERELICTION OF DUTY IN THE PROPERTY? IS THERE ANYINSIGHT YOU CAN PROVIDE? >> AT THIS TIME MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY IS NOT INTERESTED I TAKING THE LEAD ON

341
01:34:15.249 --> 01:34:32.566
THE RELOCATION OF INDIVIDUALS BEING REMOVED FROM THERE INTO ADDITIONAL HOUSING. AND ALSO CERTUS ALSO SENT ME A MESSAGE AND TOLD ME THAT THEY

342
01:34:32.566 --> 01:34:49.950
DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE LEAD ON ANY HOUSING OR RELOCATION AT THIS TIME. AND I THINK JUST BEING QUITE FRANK, I'M GOING TO SAY THIS, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT INTERESTS IN THIS OJECT AND IN THIS ROLE.

343
01:34:49.950 --> 01:35:06.366
WHERE MY INTEREST IS IN THE CONSTITUENTS AND THE SAFETY OF THE FAMILIES IN THERE. YOU GOT TO KIND OF LOOK AT THIS SITUATION LIKE THIS; A PROPERTY IS IN RECEIVERSHIP. IF THERE'S NO LONGER ANYONE

344
01:35:06.366 --> 01:35:22.850
LIVING THERE, THEN IS THERE A NEED FOR SOMEBODY TO RECEIVE ANYTHING? THERE'S NOT A NECESSITY. SO THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT VESTED INTEREST. AND THEY'RE SAYING OH YEAH, IT'S BAD, BUT IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

345
01:35:22.850 --> 01:35:38.632
BUT IT'S BAD AND I'M GOING TO T KNOCKED ON EVERY DOOR IN HERITAGE PARK MORE THAN ONCE. >> I'LL JT SHARE WITH YOU, DIRECTOR, AND JUST EVERYONE HERE

346
01:35:38.632 --> 01:35:55.416
THAT'S A PART OF THIS, I FIND IT DEEPLY STRIKING THAT CERTUS DID NOT REACH OUT TO THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AS THINGS WERE FALLING APART FOR US TO HELP IN ADDRESSING THIS SOONER. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, I DO WANT TO CLARIFY. WE HAVE BEEN IN ALMOST DAILY

347
01:35:55.416 --> 01:36:13.801
CONVERSATIONS WITH CERTUS. THEY HAVE REACHED OUT TO US. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM . I WANT TO SAY THAT IT'S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE CHANGE IN INFORMATION SHARING SINCE CERTUS HAS TAKEN OVER FROM THE OWNER OF MBS.

348
01:36:13.801 --> 01:36:30.951
I DON'T WANT TO PAINT CERTUS AS SOMEDY WHOASN'T PROACTIVE. THEY'VE BEEN VERY TRANSPARENT, VERY OPEN TO US. THEY SHARED ALL OF THE INFORMATION I SHARED EARLIER ABOUT SOME OF THE TECHNICAL REPORTS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO UNCOVER. THEY'RE GOING TO SIGN OFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE PUBLIC.

349
01:36:30.951 --> 01:36:48.035
SO WE'VE HAD A VERY CONSTRUCTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP. THEY ARE IN A CHALLENGING POSITION. THEY ARE A RECEIVER FROM THE COURT. TH HAVE A DUTY, FIDUCIARY DUTY TO THAT ROLE. AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO HELP

350
01:36:48.035 --> 01:37:04.184
THEM FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE THIS COMPLICATED PROCESS AND PROJECT. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT T WORKING RELATIONSHIP IS STRONG WITH CERTUS AND THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. >> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT INFORMATION. THEY TOOK OVER EARLIER --

351
01:37:04.184 --> 01:37:20.934
>> IN . >> 2025. OKAY. SO IN THIS A ACTION, WE'RE

352
01:37:20.934 --> 01:37:37.384
DELEGATING AUTHOTY TO YOU FOR FUTURE FINANCIAL ACTIONS, CORRECT? WHO ARE WE DELEGATING IT FROM? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, IN TYPICAL CITY COUNCIL FASHION, THAT WOUL BE SOMETHING WE WOULD COME BACK TO YOU FOR ALLOCATION OF FUNDING FOR CONTRACTING AND THAT SORT OF

353
01:37:37.384 --> 01:37:53.033
THING. THE DELEGATION OF THIS AUTHORITY WOULD DO IT THROUGH AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS. WE'D STILL HAV AN APPROVAL PROCESS, IT'S CALLED A DIRECTOR'S REPORT AS OPPOSED TO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION.

354
01:37:53.033 --> 01:38:09.483
THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE AUTHORITY THAT YOU DELEGATED TO ME DURING THE RESILIENCY FUND EARLIER IN THE OPERATION METRO SURGE. WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT DELEGATION SO THAT WE CAN MOVE QUICK. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. THE THING THAT GIVES ME A LITTLE BIT OF PAUSE ON THAT IS I THINK

355
01:38:09.483 --> 01:38:26.233
WE LOSE A NECESSARY TOUCHPOINT ON PUBLIC COMMUNICATION AND A PLACE FOR US TO DISCUSS. I JUST WOULD LIKE SOME CONTEMPLATION ON HOW WE WOULD GO ABOUT THAT. AND I ALSO ASK FOLLOWING THIS MEETING, YOUR DEPARTMENT AND THE

356
01:38:26.233 --> 01:38:42.115
COO'S OFFICE WORK ON SCHEDULING BRIEFINGS WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON WHAT'S GOING ON. AGAIN LIKE WE'VE GOT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THESE RCA'S LAST NIGHT. SO WE NEED TO HAVE FURTHER COMMUNICATION. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, I WILL

357
01:38:42.115 --> 01:38:58.832
ACKNOWLEDG IF YOU GRANT US THIS DELEGATION, WE WILBE REONDING TO THE FULL COUNCIL ON ALL OF THE ACTIONS THAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH COUNCILMEMBER WARREN ON THE RELOCATION PLAN SHE IS A VERY STRONG PARTNER IN

358
01:38:58.832 --> 01:39:14.181
THIS WORK,RUSTED BY THE COMMUNITY. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THAT WORKING RELATIONSHIPITH HER AND HER OFFICE. AND AS FAR AS COMMUNICATIONS, MUCH LIKE THE RESILIENCY PLAN, WE WILL BE COMMUNICATING TO YOU. AND THEN I WILL APOLOGIZE AGAIN,

359
01:39:14.181 --> 01:39:31.231
THIS IS NOT THE SITUATION THAT CPED LIKES TO WORK UNDER. EVEN IN THE LAST WEEK SINCE AGENDA SETTING FOR THIS COMMITTEE MEETING, THE CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED UP UNTIL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AND SO WE HAVE BEEN KIND OF

360
01:39:31.231 --> 01:39:48.515
THE INFORMATION WE KNOW.N WITH AND IT'S NOT SOMETHI THAT WE HOPE TO BE A PATTERN FOR US. COUNCIL NEEDS TO KNOW.HAT THE BU WE'VE BEEN WORKI AS HARD AS POINT WHERE WE CAN ASSESS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, IDENTIFY SOME

361
01:39:48.515 --> 01:40:05.265
RESOURCES AND GET THE PLANNING TO ASSIST PEOPLE AT HERITAGE PARK. >> WILL YOU COMMIT TO REACHING OUT FOR BRIEFINGS? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> I'M ALMOST DONE HERE AND THEN I'M GOING TO PASS IT TO COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. I'LL JUST START BY SAYING THA THIS IS AN ENTIRE SYSTEM

362
01:40:05.265 --> 01:40:21.748
BREAKDOWN. OVER MANY YEARS. AND I THINK A PIECE OF WHAT NEEDS TO COME TO LIGHT IS WHO WAS ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE THE PUBLIC DESERVES TO KNOW. TH RESIDENTS HERE DESERVE TO KNOW. AND THERE'S A LEVEL OF JUSTICE THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT. AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYONE

363
01:40:21.748 --> 01:40:38.332
THAT HAS TAKEN FULL THROATED ACCOUNTABILITY. BUT THE NEEDS TO BE. BECAUSE THIS HAS GONE ENTIRELY WRONG. AND WE NEED TO UERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENED. THE LAST THING THAT I WIL SAY IS WE SHOULD LOOK INTO HOW WE CAN RECAPTURE FUNDING.

364
01:40:38.332 --> 01:40:54.948
FOR RELOCATION ASSISTANCE. WE NEED TO. WE CANNOT IN THIS TYPE OF BUDGET SITUATION AS THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS DOLE OUT $2 $2.5 MILLION, CANNIBALIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND THAT WE USE TO MAKE PROJECTS

365
01:40:54.948 --> 01:41:10.363
HAPPEN. AND I'M INTERESTED IN EXPLORING WHAT COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY OUGHT FORWARD OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S ABOUT TO RECAPTURE FUNDING THROUGH LITIGATION IF NECESSARY. I THINK McCORMICK BARREN HAS

366
01:41:10.363 --> 01:41:28.448
FUNDS ONSSETS THAT HE OWES TO THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS IF WE'RE ABOUT TO DOLE SOMETHING OUT. AND I WILL JUST SAY, PLANT THE SEED THA I'M INTERESTED IN US IF WE CAN MAKE A RECAPTURE PLAN AND JUST IN GENERAL FOROOKING INTO THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS.

367
01:41:28.448 --> 01:41:44.865
BECAUSE I'M NOT INTERESTED IN CANNIBALIZING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND BECAUSE McCORMICK BARREN CREATED AN ENTIRE DERELICTION OF DUTY AND NOW WE'RE FRONTIN THE BILL. COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ.

368
01:41:44.865 --> 01:41:58.278
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS AS WELL. DIRECTOR, THE MAYOR'S PRESS RELEASE SAID THE 20-YEAR-OLD BUILDING COMPLEX FELL INTO DISREPAIR LAST YEAR AND THE

369
01:41:58.278 --> 01:42:17.598
COURT APPOINTED RECEIVER TOOK RECEIVERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. DO YOU AGREE THIS FELL INTO >> THE WAY I READ THAT SENTENCE WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, THE 20-YEAR-OLD PROJE FELL INTO

370
01:42:17.598 --> 01:42:33.513
DISREPAIR. LAST YEAR THERE WAS A COURT APPOINTED RECEIVER. MAYBE I READ THAT WRONG. BUT I DO NOT AGREE THAT IT FELL INTO DISREPAIR LAST YEAR >> THIHAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MANY YEARS. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR STAFF IS AWA THIS ISN'T AN

371
01:42:33.513 --> 01:42:49.563
ISSUE THAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR. THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS SAID INSPECTORS HAD CONDUCTED BUILDING BY BUILDING INSPECTIONS OF MORE THAN 400 UNITS BEGINNING IN DECEMBER OF 2025. IS THAT ACCURATE? IS THAT TRUE? >> COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, THAT WOULD

372
01:42:49.563 --> 01:43:06.579
BE THE INSPECTIONS DONE BY REGULATORY SERVICES. >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, TRUE.ILMEMBER CHAVEZ, THAT IS WE BEGAN INSPECTIONS IN OCTOBER OF 2025. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. SO OCTOBER 2025, EVEN EARLIER. OKAY GREAT.

373
01:43:06.579 --> 01:43:22.362
SO IUESS NINE MONTHS. I THOUGHT IT WAS EIGHT MONTHS. BUT NINE MONTHS LATER WE NOW HAVE THIS PRESENTATION BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUE, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, USED HER PHONE TO BLOW THE WHISTLE. WHY DID IT TAKE THIS MANY MONTHS LATER TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL TO LET US KNOW THIS ISSUE WAS

374
01:43:22.362 --> 01:43:37.043
HAPPENING? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION TO ASK. SO THE CITY HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE FORMER OWNER, McCORMICK BARREN, NOT VERY PRODUCTIVELY.

375
01:43:37.043 --> 01:43:53.626
I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. THEY'D NOTIFD THE CITY THAT THERE WAS CONDITIONS, SUB STANDARD CONDITIONS AT HITAGE PARK, AND WE WERE WORKING ON IT. AND WE NEEDED VERIFICATION. SINCE THE RECEIVER TOOK OVER IN DECEMBER, THERE'S BEEN A FLOOD

376
01:43:53.626 --> 01:44:08.742
OF INFORMATION. AND SO W HAD BEEN WORKING TOWAS WHAT THIS COMPLEX PROJECT OF CANOU REPAIR IN PLACE, CAN YOUAKE

377
01:44:08.742 --> 01:44:24.958
IMPREMENTS, WHAT IS FIRST THE EXTENT OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE KNOWING THAT THE CONDITIONS IN HERITAGE PARK, AND CAN YOU DO THAT WITH FOLKS IN PLACE OR NOT?

378
01:44:24.958 --> 01:44:42.209
AS RECENTLY AS TWO WEEKSGO FOR EXAMPLE, CNCIL MEMBER, WE WERE LOOKING AT ONE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT HAD SIX UNITS FULLY VACANT. AND THAT WAS BEING USED POTENTIALLY AS A TN AND YOU'D MOVE PEOPLE INTO THAT BUILDING AND CLEAR UP SOME OF THE OTHER

379
01:44:42.209 --> 01:44:58.624
BUILDINGS, MOVE THEM BACK AND FORTH. DO SOME SHUFFLING OF TENANTS. AT THAT TIME WHEN THEY STARTED LOOKING AT THAT BUILDING, THAT'S WHEN THEY UNCOVERED MOLD BEHIND THE WALLS. THEY FOUND WATER INFILTRATING THE WINDOWS. THEY FOUND FAILURES IN THE

380
01:44:58.624 --> 01:45:14.073
WINDOWS. AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THAT STOPPED THAT CONDITION. THE PATH THAT WE WERE TAKING WITH RESPECT TO THE WORK WITH CERTUS WAS DEPLOYING THE

381
01:45:14.073 --> 01:45:31.024
$5.125 MILLION, WORKING ON A SHORT-TERM, NEAR-TERM APPROACH TO IT. IT WOULD BE LIKE WHAT'S THE EMERGENCY, THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, THE ROOFING, THE SIDI. THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE WORKING ON UNTIL WE DISCOVERED THE MOLD

382
01:45:31.024 --> 01:45:47.273
INFESTATION INTO BEHIND THE WALLS. AND SO FROM THAT POINT IN TIME, KIND OF CHANGED. SO WE WERE WORKING TOWARDS CONVERSATIONSND REQUESTS FOR

383
01:45:47.273 --> 01:46:03.522
FUNDING FOR THE MAJOR PN WITH A DISCUSSION ABOUT NEAR TERM WHICH WOULD HAVE BEENROOFING, SIDING, AND UNIT TURNS UNTIL LAST WEEK. AND NOW WE'RE TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE JUST CONTINUING TO LEARN MORE. AS WE LEARN MORE, WE KNOW MORE,

384
01:46:03.522 --> 01:46:20.373
AND AS WE KNOW MORE, WE HAVE TO DO MORE. >> THANKYOU. THAT'S NEARLY NINE MONTHS AGO. WHAT STRUCTURAL CHANGES ARE BEING MADE SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN? >> COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY AND COUNCILMEMBER AVEZ, THAT'S

385
01:46:20.373 --> 01:46:38.791
ANOTHER EXCELLENT QUESTION TOO. WE'RE IN THE CRISIS MODE OF THIS SITUATION AND WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF THE RESIDENTS OF HERITAGE PARK. WE AREOLLECTING INFORMATION. WE ARE IN THE INFORMATION COLLECTING PHASE. BUT NOW WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE TO A

386
01:46:38.791 --> 01:46:55.041
POINT WHERE WE NEED TO WORK ON RELOCATION. AND THEN WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IN PLACE AND THE A RL ANALYSIS OF WHERE THIS WENT SOUTH AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE PROVEMENTS. THAT HAS TO HAPPEN AFTER WE

387
01:46:55.041 --> 01:47:12.692
FOCUS ON THE WELLBEING OF THE RESIDENTS. >> HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WERE MADE IN 2025? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMB AT REG SERVICES. THEY DON'T KNOW H MANY COMPLAINTS WERE MADE, BUT WE CAN

388
01:47:12.692 --> 01:47:29.709
LOOK INTO THAT. >> I THINK THAT'S RELY IMPORTANT. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THIS CASE IS NOT ISOLATED. ERE ARE MANY OF US THAT HAVE MANY CONCERNS WITH HOW INSPECTIONS HAPPEN ACROSS THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. IS THERE ANY PLAN FOR DIRECTOR

389
01:47:29.709 --> 01:47:46.492
VELASQUEZ TO INCREASE LICENSE FEESO HELP US HIRE MORE INSPECTORS? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DEFER TO REG SERVICES ABOUT THE ANSWER TTHAT QUESTION. >> THROUGH THE CHAIR,

390
01:47:46.492 --> 01:48:03.509
COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, DIRECTOR VELASQUEZ HAD TO STEP OUT. WE ARE RIGHT NOW HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT OUR RENTA LICENSING FEES. WE DID INCREASE RENTAL LICENSING FEES ACROSS THE BOARD BY 10% LAST YEAR. AND THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING NOW. >> I THINK WE NEED TO INCREASE IT A LOT MORE, IF WE'RE GOING TO

391
01:48:03.509 --> 01:48:19.258
BE ABLE TO HIRE MORE INSPECTORS ACROSS THE CITY. WE KNOW PARTICULAR AREAS OF OUR CITIES ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY HOW INSPECTIONS ARE HANDLED. DO WE HAVE A PLAN ON THE CURRENT TIERING SYSTEM? >> THROUGH THE AIR, YES, WE

392
01:48:19.258 --> 01:48:36.075
HAVE BEEN EMBARKING ON A LENGTHY PROCESS TO REVISE OUR TIERING SYSTEM AND THAT WORK CONTINUES. >> AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS CASE THAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT TODAY WHICH IS HAPPENING ACROSS OUR CITY IN GENERAL AS WELL IS A REMINDER OF HOW MUCH QUICKER WE HAVE TO BWORKING ON BOTH

393
01:48:36.075 --> 01:48:54.894
TIERING SYSTEMS. DO WE KNOW HOW MANY HOUSEHOLDS HAVE BEENUNCTIONING WITHOUT HEAT OR WATER THIS YEAR? THERE? >> I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION AT HAND.

394
01:48:54.894 --> 01:49:11.745
>> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIEMBER CHAVEZ, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A WATER SERVICE ISSUE. BUT I CAN LOOK AT THE RNACES. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ON OUR REPAIR LIST. >> SO I GUESS FOR HEAT, DO WE KNOW OR NO? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBK INTO THAT INFORMATION.

395
01:49:11.745 --> 01:49:27.393
WE'LL HAVE TO ASK THAT. >> I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMRTANT IF WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW MANY HOMES DON'T HAVE BASIC NECESSITIES, THAT'S A CONCERN. I GUESS FOR STAFF, WHY DID IT TAKE A VIDEO FROM MY COLLEAGUE RATHER THAN THE CITY'S OWN INSPECTION PROJECT TO FORCE A

396
01:49:27.393 --> 01:49:44.910
PUBLIC CONVERSATION AROUND THIS? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, UNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, THAT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT. I WAS ON THAT TOUR WITH THE COCIL MEMBER WHERE SHE WAS

397
01:49:44.910 --> 01:50:02.128
ABLE TO TAKE THAT VIDEO. WE AS A STAFF WERE WORKING TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE. BUT A PICTURE TELLS THE STORY OF A THOUSAND WORDS. AND THAT WAS, I THINK, AN

398
01:50:02.128 --> 01:50:19.212
IMPORTANT PART OF THE STORY OF HERITAGE PARK TO BRING FORWARD IN FULL COLOR WHAT THE CONDITIO ARE AT HERITAGE PARK, AND WHETHER WE AS A CITY, DECIDE IF THAT'S AN ACCEPTABLE PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE OR NOT. AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE AS A

399
01:50:19.212 --> 01:50:35.495
CITY WILL AGREE THAT THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS AND THAT IS WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION. >> WHAT IS THE ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE TO THE NAACP'S LETTER? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, I DO NOT

400
01:50:35.495 --> 01:50:51.177
HAVE THE OFFICIAL ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSE TO THE NAACP LETTER. >> IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD FOLLOW UP. IF THE CITY, IF WE AS A BODY ARE ALLOCATING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND, WHICH I THINK WE SHOULD BE USING CONTINGENCY FUNDING, BUT I WANT

401
01:50:51.177 --> 01:51:06.926
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION. IF WE USE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO REPLENISH IT WITH THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE FUNDING FROM THOSE IMPACTED BY OPERATION METRO SURGE? >> I WANT TO SAY TO YOU THE

402
01:51:06.926 --> 01:51:21.641
ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS YES. I DO WANT TO JUST BE THE WAY THE COUNCIL HAS ALLOCATED THATFUNDING, $1.8 MILLION HAD A REQUIREMENT

403
01:51:21.641 --> 01:51:38.057
FOR A HIGHER AREA MEDIAN INCOME CAP. AT HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE COUNTY. WE STARTED HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY IN HER OFFICE ABOUT THAT. SO YOU'RE GOING TO EXPECT TO SEE LIKELY COUNCIL ACTION SO THAT WE

404
01:51:38.057 --> 01:51:54.474
CAN CONTRACT THAT $1.8 MILLION. BUT THERE'S NO EXPECTATION FOR THE CITY OR CPED TO USE THAT MONEY FOR BACKFILLING. WHAT WILL HAPPENSE WILL HAVE $2.5 MILLION FEWER FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION IN 2026. >> THANK YOU.

405
01:51:54.474 --> 01:52:10.723
AND THAT WAS MY HOPE. I JUST WANTED TO ASK PUBLICLY SO WE CAN HOLD THOSE ACCOUNTABLE IF THAT PLA CHANGES. I WILL SAY THAT I JUST WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN FOR BEING RELENTLESS FOR HER CONSTITUENTS

406
01:52:10.723 --> 01:52:26.739
IN WARD 5. I THINK IT'S IMPORTAN USE THE TOOLS WE HAVE AS A CITY TO SUPPORT THE RESIDENTS IN HERITAGE PARK. WHAT I HAVE HEARD IS JUST DEEPLY CONCERNING. IT MAKES ME CONCERNED FOR WHAT THIS MEANS FOR RENTAL UNITS ACROSS THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN AUDIT ABOUT

407
01:52:26.739 --> 01:52:43.089
HOW WE DO INSPECTIONS IN GENERAL IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. BECAUSE I'VE HAD MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH SOME BUILDINGS WHERE THERE'S BEEN INSPECTIONS, NOTHING IS AN ISSUE, BUT THE CONSTITUENTS TELL ME THAT THERE STILL IS ISSUES. AND I THINK THAT MEANS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A COMPLETE OVERHAUL ON HOW WE DO THIS WO.

408
01:52:43.089 --> 01:52:59.438
SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT. SO THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN FOR BRINGING THIS ISSUE MY ATTENTION. I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS MOTION TODAY. AS WE HEAD TO FULL COUNCIL, I HOPE THERE IS A BETTER CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT FUNDING STREAM WE COULD USE. I THINK CONTINGENCY FUNDING IS AN ADEQUATE USE OF FUNDING.

409
01:52:59.438 --> 01:53:14.420
IT'S AN EMERGENCY. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE USING THAT WAY IT DOESN'T HAVE AN IMPACT ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING STOCK. SO THAT IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT I WOULD AT LEAST PUT OUT THERE. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. NEXT WE HAVE COUNCILMEMBER VETAW.

410
01:53:14.420 --> 01:53:29.936
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. FIRST OFF, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER WARREN FOR THIS WORK. I THINK YOU CALLED ME MAYBE A HOUR BEFORE YOU PUT THE VIDEO OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WE PROBABLY TALKED AN HOUR.

411
01:53:29.936 --> 01:53:46.852
AND SO THAT DAY WHEN YOU CALLED I SAID WE GOT TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF HERITAGE PARK. IT'S COOL TO HAVE THE VIDEO AND SHOW IT. BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? AND AS YOU KNOW, I WAS A LITTLE

412
01:53:46.852 --> 01:54:04.704
RVOUS ABOUT THE VIDEO BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO KNEW HOW BAD IT WAS.MENT AND I SO I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE RIGHT NOW BEFORE US LIKE WHAT WE CAN DO AS A CITY. AND I COMPLETELY SUPPORT YOU. I APPRECIATE HOW YOU'VE BUILT

413
01:54:04.704 --> 01:54:20.353
THIS TABLE OF PEOPLE TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT WE ALL NEED TO DO. WHAT OUR PART IS. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE LEADING THIS WORK BECAUSE I CAN HEAR AND SEE SOME THINGS HAPPENING THAT HAPPEN

414
01:54:20.353 --> 01:54:36.035
OFTEN WHEN YOU'RE A NORTH SIDE COUNCIL MEMBER, OTHERS TEND TO TELL YOU HOWO DO YOUR STUFF. SO I REALLY DO WT YOU TO HOLD FIRM TO DOING THINGS THE WAY THAT YOU KNOW YOUR CONSTITUENTS WANT TO SEE THEM BEING DONE. OTHERS HAVE IDEAS, THAT'S GREAT,

415
01:54:36.035 --> 01:54:51.484
BUT YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ALL OF US WHAT THOSE PEOPLE AT HERITAGE PARK AND WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE DO. YOU KNOW WHAT JUSTICE LOOKS LIKE TO THEM. THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF JUSTICE THEY NT. AND SO I REALLY AM PROUD OF YOU. I'M SO PROUD THAT SIX MONTHS ,

416
01:54:51.484 --> 01:55:08.834
THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE AT. LIKE YOU'VE COME HERE TO WORK FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS. YOU'VE COME HERE WITH A VOICE FOR THEM. THAT'S WHAT THEY SEND YOU HERE TO DO. THEY SEND YOU HERE TO BE THE VOICE OF THEM. IF YOU FAIL, YOU HAVE TO FACE THEM. NOT ANYONE ELSE UP HERE. SO I'M SO PROUD OF YOU FOR

417
01:55:08.834 --> 01:55:25.350
COMING UP HERE ANDEPRESENTING YOUR WARD. AND REPRESENTING PEOPLE AT THEIR ABSOLUTE WORST. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, THE . AND YOU AND I HAVE SEEN IT, WE KNOW IT. THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN RUMORS CIRCULATING. THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN THIS TALK ON

418
01:55:25.350 --> 01:55:42.769
THE NORTH SIDE HERITAGE PARK IS ALL OF THESE THING THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS. YOU CANRIVE DOWN OLSEN HIGHWAY D SEE THE ROOF OF SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS. THERE WAS ONE THAT HAD A FIRE AND WAS JUST KIND OF SITTING FOR YEARS. WE LIVE THERE SO WE KNOW.

419
01:55:42.769 --> 01:55:58.217
AND WE KNOW WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND SO I'M JUST SO PROUD OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH SUCH A TERRIBLE THING AND TRYING TO FIX IT. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU REMAIN THE LEADER IN FIXING IT.

420
01:55:58.217 --> 01:56:15.400
AND THAT YOU LEAD NOT ONLY THIS COUNCIL, BUT ALSO THIS STAFF AND THE ADMINISTRATION. I ALSO DON'T WANT THIS TO BECOME A POLITICAL FIGHT. BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE HEARD TODAY IS 686 PEOPLE NEED TO BE RELOCATED. I DON'T CARE WHAT PRESS RELEASE

421
01:56:15.400 --> 01:56:30.950
GOT RELEASED TODAY. I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT A PRESS RELEASE OR ANYTHING ELSE. 686 PEOPLE NEED TO BE RELOCATED. THAT'S WHAT MATTERS TO ME. NOT WHAT THE MAYOR SAID. NOT WHAT I SAID. NOT WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAID.

422
01:56:30.950 --> 01:56:48.300
THIS IS 686 PEOPLE WHO NEED SOMEWHERE TO LIVE. SOMEWHERE TO LAY THEIR HEAD. THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. AND GUESS WHAT THERE NOT CARING ABOUT, A PRESS RELEASE OR WHAT WE'RE IN THIS ROOM TKING ABOUT IF IT'S NOT ABOUT

423
01:56:48.300 --> 01:57:05.218
SOLUTIONS FOR THEM AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK THE ONE THING THAT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT, AND I KNOW COUNCILMEMBER WARREN KNOWS THIS AND OTHERS, IS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO VE IN THERE WHO ARE TERRIFIED AND THE WAY WE'RE TALKING IS EVEN MORE TERRYING. I'VE HAD PEOPLE APPROACH ME THAT

424
01:57:05.218 --> 01:57:22.801
LIVE THERE AND SAY, YES, THIS HAS BEEN LIKE A SPOTLIGHT ON US. PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP TO WHERE WE LIVE WITH CAMERAS AND TALKING TO US AND SCARING OUR KIDS. AND LIKE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE STILL LIVE HERE. THIS IS A COMMUNITY. THIS IS A REALLY BIG PLACE IN

425
01:57:22.801 --> 01:57:38.751
NORTH MINNEAPOLIS WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE. AND IT'S NOT EVEN JUST THIS PLACE, THERE ARE OTHER APARTMENTS AROUND THERE AND THE AVERAGE PERSON DOESN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HERITAGE PARK, CECIL NEWMAN, CITY VIEW, THIS ENTIRE AREA.

426
01:57:38.751 --> 01:57:54.233
SO THERE'S BEEN AN INVASION ON THIS AREA THAT WE AS LEADERS HAVE TO BE COGNIZANTF AND RESPECTFUL OF. THAT THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE. EVEN IN HERITAGE PARK. THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRE FACILITY OVER THERE. THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE THAT

427
01:57:54.233 --> 01:58:10.816
YOU' MOVING OUT IS NOT EVERYONE THAT LIVES THERE. THERE ARE HOMEOWNERS THERE. THERE ARE TOWN HOMES THERE, THERE'S SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THERE THAT ARE ALL A PART OF HERITAGE PARK. AND THERE IS A LOT OF FEAR IN THESE PEOPLE ABOUT THE WAY WE CONDUCT OURSELVES.

428
01:58:10.816 --> 01:58:27.166
AS NOT ONLY ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT A CITY ENTERPRISE. SO WE'VE GOT TO BE MINDFUL OF IT. I'M SUPPORTING COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, SHE'S THE LEADER ON THIS. AND WE NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT SHE'S SAYING HERE. SHE IS OVER THERE EVERY DAY ALL DAY.

429
01:58:27.166 --> 01:58:43.716
TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE. TRYING TO EASE WHAT IS HAPPENING. THIS IS SERIOUS. SOMEONE, IT'S NOT EASY TO BE A WHISTLE BLOWER. THAT'S WHY IT'S A NAME FOR IT. SHE'S THE PERN BRAVE ENOUGH TO MAKE THE VIDEO.

430
01:58:43.716 --> 01:58:59.932
BUT THERE'S PEOPLE WHO TOLD HER TO COME ANDAKE A VIDEO. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE WHO H THE FORESIGHT TO SAY TO HER, HEY, COME OVER HERE, SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT COULD HAPPEN. WITHOUT KNOWING IF THE NEXT DAY,

431
01:58:59.932 --> 01:59:17.083
THEY WERE GOING TO BE ON THE STREETS. BECAUSE CAN GUARANTEE YOU, WE DON'T HAVE 212 AVAILABLE APARTMENTS OR HOUSING OPTIONS IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS RIGHT NOW. AND GUESS WHAT'S HARD, TO SAY YOU GOT TO MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

432
01:59:17.083 --> 01:59:33.866
YOU GOT TO MOVE OUT OF YOUR KID'S SCHO DISTRICT. YOU GOT TO MOVE AWAY FROM YOUR CHURCH. YOU GOT TO MOVE AWAY FROM YOUR AUNTIE WHO BABYSITS FOR YOU, AND YOU WALK TO HER HOUSE. NOW YOU GOT TO FIGURE OUT TRANSPORTATION TO GET YOUR KIDS FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE'RE

433
01:59:33.866 --> 01:59:50.750
GOING TO FIND 212 HOUSEHOLDS, IF THAT IS THE ACTUAL NUMBER, TO RELOCATE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA. SO I REALLY DO. WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL THAT THE ARE HUMANS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING AND LEADING IS NOT FIGHTING.

434
01:59:50.750 --> 02:00:08.267
LEADING IS NOT POLITICIZING A REAL LIFE TRAGEDY THAT IS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. LEADING IS CERTAINLY NOT BLAMING. LEADING IS TING WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND MAKING IT BETTER CERTAINLY, BUT BLAMING IS GOING TO GET US NOWRE.

435
02:00:08.267 --> 02:00:24.617
WE NEED TO FIX THIS NOW AND COME BACK TO BLAMING LATER IF THAT'S YOUR THING. BUT WE CERTAINLY HAVE TO GET FROM UP UNDER THIS RIGHT NOW. WE NEED TO SPEND EVERY SINGLE BIT OF ENERGY, TIME RESOURCES WE HAVE ON FIXING THIS RIGHT NOW FOR THESE 686 PEOPLE. AND THAT NBER FEELS VERY FLUID

436
02:00:24.617 --> 02:00:40.165
TO ME. I FEEL LIKE THAT NUMBER CAN CHANGE BY THE END OFHIS DAY. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE AND I KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. AND SO I REALLY DON'T WANT US TO LOSE SIGHT. I THINK WE ALL PBABLY FEEL ANGRY TOWARDS SOMEBODY OR FEEL

437
02:00:40.165 --> 02:00:57.817
LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL OR SOMETHING IS RESPONSIBLE. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT TO USE MY ENERGY ON. I REAY WANT US TO FOCUS AS A CITY ON HOW WE DO BETTER. HOW WE MAKE THIS BETTER RIGHT NOW. AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND FIGURE OUT THE SYSTEM AND ALL OF TH OTHER THINGS. BUT WE'VE GOT TO FIX IT.

438
02:00:57.817 --> 02:01:11.897
SHE CALLED ME A MONTH AGO NOW ABOUT THAT VIDEO. THAT MEANS WE'RE 30 DAYS BEHIND OR HOWEVER MANY DAYS THAT WAS ON MAKING THIS BETTER FOR PEOPLE. SO I REALLY DO WANT US TO FOCUS ON LIKE HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING

439
02:01:11.897 --> 02:01:29.314
TO DO THIS, AND SO, DIRECTOR, WHAT IS THE PLAOR HOW WE'RE GOING TO RELOCATE PEOPLE? LIKE WHAT IS THE TIMELINE? IF WE VOTE ON THIS ON THURSDAY AND THE MONEY IS THERE, HOW DO WE DO THIS? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, WE ARE

440
02:01:29.314 --> 02:01:45.764
STANDING UP A TEAM TO DEVELOP A STRUCTURE. AND IT WILL BE WORKED TOGETHER Y MANAGEMENT. WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY THAT'S GOING TO BE GIVI SOME PLANNING ASSISTANCE

441
02:01:45.764 --> 02:02:04.116
AND HOPEFULLY FINANCIAL RESOCES AND TECHNICAL STAFF. WE'RE GOG TO LIKELY HAVE TO ASSIGN, DELEGATE SOME STAFF FROM OTHER JOBS TO WORK ON THIS. THIS IS AN ENORMOUS SET UP. BUT I THINK YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IF YOU WERE UP AT THE EMERGENCY

442
02:02:04.116 --> 02:02:20.165
OPERATIONS CENTER DURING THE RESPONSE TO ANNUNCIATION OR OPERATION METRO SURGE, IT WILL BE SOMETHING TO THA LEVEL. >> I MN WHAT'S THE TIMELINE THOUGH? HAVE YOU ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON IT? >> WE'VE ALREADY STARTED SCOPING OUT THE FRAMEWORK.

443
02:02:20.165 --> 02:02:36.215
WE'LL BE DOING THAT OVER THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEK WE'LL BE STARTING TO SET UP THE PLANNING AND HOPEFULLY WE HAVE MORE TO REPORT. I DON'T WANT TO OVERPROMISE ANYTHING. BUT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER THE STRUCTURE AS WE SPEAK. >> AND THEN WHERE DID THE

444
02:02:36.215 --> 02:02:51.230
$2.5 MILLION NUMBER COME FROM LIKE WHAT ARE WE CONFIGURINGOR FAMILIES? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, THIS IS REPURPOSED MONEY. WHEN WE FIRST WERE TALKING TO THE RECEIVER A FEW WEEKS AGO BEFORE WE WERE AWARE OF THE

445
02:02:51.230 --> 02:03:08.514
EXTENT OF THE MOLD, THIS WAS EMERGENCY, THEY NEEDED A GRANT FOR SOME EMERGENCY REPAIRS. WE ARE FOCUSED ON FURNACES, UNIT TURNS ANDROOFING. AND THAT COST WAS IN THE BALLPARK OF $3 MILLION. THE CITY HAS ALREADY

446
02:03:08.514 --> 02:03:25.797
APPROPRIATED IN THE CPED BUDGET HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR HERITAGE PARK FOR THIS YEAR. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE $2.5 MILLION COMES. AS WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS FOR THIS RCA, WE KEPT THAT NUMBER STATIC.

447
02:03:25.797 --> 02:03:42.013
WE'RE CONSULTING WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF BENEFITSHAT TYPICALLY THE PEOPLE TYPICALLY GET WITH RELOCATION. AND IT SEEMS IN LINE. WE'RE LOOKING FOR POTENTIALLY SO

448
02:03:42.013 --> 02:03:58.497
COUNTY AND THE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY. WEE ASKED THEM ALSO TO MATCH THE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE. >> SO THE RELOTION DOLLARS THOUGH FOR THESE FAMILIES ISN'T JUST LIKE WE'VE FOUND YOU AN APARTMENT. THE RENT AND THE DEPOSIT IS THIS AMOUNT. WE'RE GOING TO PAY TO DO THAT.

449
02:03:58.497 --> 02:04:14.679
WITH HAVING TO MOVE.SOCIATED >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, IT'S MORE COMPLICATED AND COMPLEX THAN WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. TO YOUR POINT, IT'S YOU HAV 212 UNIQUE HOUSEHOLDS THAT HE

450
02:04:14.679 --> 02:04:33.465
THEY'RE DIFFERENT SIZES OF HOUSEHOLDS, PEOPLE WITH PETS, PEOPLE WITH HEALTH CONDITIONS, PEOPLE WHO ARE TRANSIT DENDENT. EVERYBODY HAS A UNIQUE SITUATION, AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TAKING THE UTMOST IN FINDING WHERE THEY SHOULD BE.

451
02:04:33.465 --> 02:04:49.748
AND WHAT EXPENSES. SO WE WERE GO DEVELOPING ALSO WHAT ALL OF THE EXPENSES WOULD BE SO IT'S NOT JUST A SIMPLE FIRST MONTH'S LAST MON PLUS A DAMAGE DEPOSIT. IT'S WHATOES IT TAKE FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD ANDHAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL BE WORKING ON.

452
02:04:49.748 --> 02:05:06.365
>> SO LAST NIGHT, I KNOW, THERE WAS A COMMUNITY MEETING HOSTED BY COUNCILMEMBER WARREN AND A LOT OF YOU CAME. I GUESS I'MURIOUS TO KNOW HOW YOU LEFT IT WITH FOLKS YESTERDAY. WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM WAS GOING TO HAPPEN LAST NIGHT? LIKE WHAT ARE NEXT STEPS FOR THE

453
02:05:06.365 --> 02:05:21.079
COMMUNITY? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, SO MAYOR FREY WAS IN ATTENDANCE. MAYOR FREY MADE SOME OPENING REMARKS EXPLAINING TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WERE IN

454
02:05:21.079 --> 02:05:38.130
ATTENDANCE THAT THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND HE HAS DIRECTED US TO PRIORITIZE AND RESOURCE THE RELOCATION OF HOUSEHOLDS AT HERITAGE PARK. WE WERE FRANK WIT THEM ABOUT WE WERE COMING TO THE COUNCIL FOR

455
02:05:38.130 --> 02:05:53.211
FUNDING TODAY. AND WE WILL BE DEVELOPING THE PLAN AND WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN TO GET THAT INFORMATION. AND COUNCILMEMBER WARREN WHO WAS THE HOST OF THAT MEETING COMMUNICATED, IF I MAY, TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE ANOTHER COMMUNITY MEENG

456
02:05:53.211 --> 02:06:09.828
NEXT WEEK. SO WE'RE PROBABLY GOI TO HAVE A REGULAR CADENCE OF COMMUNICATIONS AS THINGS BECOME AVAILABLE AND WE FIND OUT WHAT OUR POINTS OF CONTACT, WHAT KD OF RESOURCES WE CAN OFFER, WHAT RESOURCE CENTERS WE CAN

457
02:06:09.828 --> 02:06:27.012
POTENTIALLY STAND UP AT HERITAGE PARK SO PPLE CAN GET THEIR QUESONS ASKED. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING PEOPLE'S CONCERNS AND FEARS ABOUT THIS. WE KNOW THAT T WHO HAVE LIVED I HERITAGE PARK SINCE IT OPENED. THIS IS THEIR HOME. THIS IS WHERE THEY LIVE. THIS IS THEIR COMMUNITY.

458
02:06:27.012 --> 02:06:44.329
AND THIS IS REALLY A SHOCKING SITUATION TO BE IN. AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S TRAUMATIC, AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TAKINGHE CARE TO MAKE SURE WE MEET THEIR NEEDS AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE MEET THOSE. >> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. AND YOU DID ANSWER MY QUESTION AROUND, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND

459
02:06:44.329 --> 02:07:00.512
IF YOU'VE SET UP A MECHANISM SEPARATE SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO CALL 311 AND FILTER THROUGH THAT. BUT LIKE A HERITAGE PARK HOTLINE IS WHAT I'M SAYING. SOMETHING WHERE PEOPL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT ABOUT THINGS SPECIFICALLY.

460
02:07:00.512 --> 02:07:17.229
>> COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY A COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, YES. WE'R FIGURING OUT THAT. WHILE 311 IS THE FRONT DOOR FOR EVERYBODY CAN USE THAT, WE ARE D NOT EXPECTING THAT TO BE THE PRIMARY COMNICATION TOOL. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION, WE'LL HAVE TO

461
02:07:17.229 --> 02:07:33.511
UNDERSTAND WHO'SHERE AND REACH OUT TO THEM AS OPPOSED TO HAVING THEM REACH OUT TO US. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. NEXT WE'LL GO TO COUNCILMEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. AND THANK YOU, DIRECTOR.

462
02:07:33.511 --> 02:07:49.928
I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. BUT I WANT TO KIND OF START, FIRSTLY, IT IS NOT I THINK LOST ON ME. AFTER COUNCILMEMBER WARREN BROUGHT THIS FORWARD TO US, I DID SOME RESEARCH HERE ON THE HISTORY OF HERITAGE PARK.

463
02:07:49.928 --> 02:08:07.679
THAT HERITAGE PARK WAS BUILT THROUGH A COURT-MANDATED CONSENT DECREE BECAUSE OF HOW BAD THE STANDARDS WERE FOR A HISTORIC NORTH SIDE SECTION 8 AND

464
02:08:07.679 --> 02:08:24.830
GOVERNMENT-FUNDED HOUSING. SO HERITAGE PARK WAS BROUGHT ABOUT THROUGH A CONSENT DECREE CRITICIZING AND HOLDING TO THE FIRE A PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM

465
02:08:24.830 --> 02:08:43.181
THAT TALKED ABOUT THE CITY'S PERPETUAL LIVING STANDARDS FOR SUBSTANDARD HOUSING CONDITIONS. AN WE BUILT A CONTINUANCE OF THAT SAME EXACT CONDITION. AND IT JUST IS REALLY, REALLY HARD FOR ME TO WRAP MY HEAD

466
02:08:43.181 --> 02:09:00.365
AROUND THE CONTINUANCE OF THESE SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS BASED ON A LAWSUIT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO AVAIL THE NORTH SIDE OF THESE CONDITIONS. AND SO I THINK THAT JUST THE HISTORY OF IT, I THINK, IS HELPFUL FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW. THAT THIS ISN'T JUST SOME

467
02:09:00.365 --> 02:09:16.248
VERSION OF A PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY THAT WE WANTED , BY THE GOODNESS OF THE HEART OF GOVERNMENT TO COME THROUGH. BUT THIS WAS ACTUALLY MANDATED BECAUSE OF HOW BAD THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE BEFORE THIS. AND SO JUST WANTED TO KIND OF START THERE.

468
02:09:16.248 --> 02:09:31.062
AND THE QUESTION FOR YOU, DIRECTOR, THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS DO WE HAVE ANY LEVEL OF -- D I KNOW YOU SPOKE TO IT A LITTLE BIT THAT THIS IS A MASSIVE INVESTMENT OR THERE WILL HAVE TO BE A MASSIVE INVESTMENT INTO THE PAIR AND REALLOCATION

469
02:09:31.062 --> 02:09:47.746
OF FUNDING FOR US TO GET TO THIS TO A VERSI OF LIVABILITY. DO YOU HAVE ANY ESTIMATE OF WHAT THAT TOTAL COST IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE TO MAKE HERITAGE PARK MORE OR LESS LIVABLE? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY,

470
02:09:47.746 --> 02:10:03.862
COUNCILMEMBER WHITING, THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR RESEARCH. WE CAN SHARE MORE INFORMATION ABT THE HISTORY OF HERITAGE THE CONSENT DECREE.RESTED AND AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE

471
02:10:03.862 --> 02:10:20.111
HA TO HIT THAT THRESHOLD QUESON. ARE THE REPAIRS THAT ARE REQUIRED EXCEEDING THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. WE ARE NOT THAT -- WE DO NOT HAVE THAT MUCH INFORMATION. SO THE WAY I THINK ABOUT IT IS

472
02:10:20.111 --> 02:10:37.162
IN MAGNITUDES AS OPPOSED TO PRECISION. AND WE'RE THINKING TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS THAT ARE NEEDED. BUT YOU'D ALSO NEED THEN A RECAPITALIZATION PROGRAM OR STRUCTUR SO THAT YOU CAN

473
02:10:37.162 --> 02:10:53.945
FINANCE THE REPAIRS AND THEN STABILIZE THE OPERATIONS OF HERITAGE PARK. AND THAT EXCEEDS THE COST. SO THE RAW COS AND THEN ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO TO GET TO THE REPAIRS WILL EXCEED THAT. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF

474
02:10:53.945 --> 02:11:09.861
MONEY. >> OKAY. AN THEN REALLY THE ONLY REASON I ASK IS IF WE ARE PUTTING $2.5 MILLION INTO -- INOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S ELIGIBLE USE RELOCATION.

475
02:11:09.861 --> 02:11:25.377
BUT IF WE'RE PUTTING $2.5 MILLION INTO THE REPAIRS OF A FACILITY OF A HOUSING PROJECT THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO EITHER TAKE IT ALL DOWN OR REPAIR IT, I THINK -- ARE THE REPAIRS BECAUSE IT'S THE

476
02:11:25.377 --> 02:11:41.059
LIVABILITY KIND OF PIECE, KIND OF THE EMERGENCY LIVABILITY PIECE? I GUESS THAT'S THE ONE QUESTION FOR US TO DO. >> COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WHITING, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WHAT YOU'RE PROVIDING IN THE QUESTION THAT YOU'RE ASKING IS

477
02:11:41.059 --> 02:11:57.676
AUTHORITY TO PUT FUNDI INTO RENOVATIONS, EMERGENCY LIFE-SAVING RENOVATIONS AND REPAIRS AN RELOCATION. IT IS OUR INTENT TO FOCUS PRIMARILY ON RELOCATION. THE REASON WARE ASKING FOR THAT OTHER REPAIR IS BECAU TO YOUR POINT, WE HAVEN'T ANSWERED

478
02:11:57.676 --> 02:12:14.993
THAT THRESHOLD QUESTION. SO WE DON'T WANT TO INVEST MONEY IN SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NOT BE SALVA SALVAGEABLE. BUT WE'RE NOT TO THAT POINT YET. TO DO BECAUSE IT HAS IMMEDIATE HEALTH RISK OR SAFETY RISK T SOMEBODY, THEN WE WANT TO HAVE THAT LATITUDE.

479
02:12:14.993 --> 02:12:30.709
BUT OUR FOCUS IS ON THE RELOCATION COMPONENT OF THIS. AND OE WE HAVE RELOCATED, THEN IT WILL BE THE STRUCTURED CONVERSATION WITH FUNDERS AND THE OWNER AND HOW THAT RECEIVER PROCESS WORKS ABOUT WHAT IS THE THRESHOLD QUESTION. THAT STUF THE TECHNICAL WORK WILL CONTINUE.

480
02:12:30.709 --> 02:12:46.624
IT'S NOT LIKE IT STOPS. WE'LL HAVE THE TECHNICAL STAFF WORK ON IT. BUT THE FOCUS OF THE ADMINISTRATION, THE FOCUS OF ED, FOCUS OF THE CITY IS GOING TO BE ON THE RELOCATION EFFORTS AN SETTING THAT UP. AND THEN WE CAN WORK ON THAT OTHER STUFF AS IT COMES UP. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR.

481
02:12:46.624 --> 02:13:03.008
AND THE LAST NOTE TO IT. I JUST WANT TO AGAIN REITERATE COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES AS WELL. I THINK WE'VE SEEN COUNCILMEMBER WARREN DO MORE WORK FOR THIS COMMUNITY TN DECADES OF AGREEMENTS, REPORTS, REGULATORY

482
02:13:03.008 --> 02:13:20.424
FRAMORKS, IN SIX MONTHS. AND SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN. AND PLEASE, CONTINUE TO TAP US IN WITH WHERE IT IS.

483
02:13:20.424 --> 02:13:35.907
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WHITING. NEXT WE HAVE IN QUEUE COUNCILMEMBER STEVSON. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. I WANTED TO THANK YOU, COUNLMEMBER WARREN, FOR BEING THE FIRST AND/OR LAST LINE OF

484
02:13:35.907 --> 02:13:51.823
DEFENSE FOR YOUR COTUENTS. YOU AND I ARE LEARNING IN REALTIME THAT ROLE. AND I APPRECIATE YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP AND FOR NOT GIVING UP ON YOUR PEOPLE. I'M GLAD TO SEE US RESPONDING TO THIS URGENTLY. OF COURSE I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE MONEY TO GO AND RELOCATE FOLKS

485
02:13:51.823 --> 02:14:08.973
OUT OF HERITAGE PARK. THE SOUTH SIDE IS WITH YOU. PEOPLE ON THE SOUTH SIDE HAVE LIVED IN DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS. AND NONE OFHEM HAVE REACHED THE GRANDIOSITY OF WHAT YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE WITH YOU AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE

486
02:14:08.973 --> 02:14:26.191
SURE THAT THE FOLKS IN HERITAGE PARK ARE TAKEN CARE OF. AND THAT THERE'S JUSTICE FOR THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT WE, THE CITY, ARE THENES LEFT HOLDING THE BAG HERE, EVEN THOUGH MPHAWNS THE LAND AND

487
02:14:26.191 --> 02:14:42.073
McCORMICK AND SALAZAR AND SOMETHIN ELSE HAVE SPENT THE LAST TWO DECADES MAKING MONEY OFF OF THESE BUILDINGS. YEAH, I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE ONLY TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO CARE AT THE END OF

488
02:14:42.073 --> 02:14:58.022
THE DAY ABOUT WHETHER HERITAGE PARK IS LIVABLE AND THAT'S THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN HITAGE PARK AND THAT'S THEITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. AND I THINK WE JUST NEED TO REC THERE REALLY ARE ONLY THOSE TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE OR THOSE TWO GROUPS WHO WILL AT THE VERY END

489
02:14:58.022 --> 02:15:14.206
OF THE ROAD WHICH WE'RE AT NOW IN TERMS OF THE LIVABILITY OF HERITAGE PARK,CTUALLY CARE ABOUT WHETHER HERITAGE PARK SUCCEEDS. SO WE NEED TO ACT ACCORDINGLY W. SO TO ME, THAT SAYS THAT IF WE'RE PUTTING PUBLIC DOLLA IN, THE PUBLIC NEEDS CONTROL.

490
02:15:14.206 --> 02:15:29.887
EITHER THAT OR THE RESIDENTS THEMSELVES NEED CONTROL OVER THE BUILDINGS, THE CONDITIONS, THE NANCES. BECAUSE THE RESIDENTS AND THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS SEEM TO BE THE ONLY TWO GROUPS WHO CARE AB CONTINUES AND CONTINUES

491
02:15:29.887 --> 02:15:53.811
CCESSFULLY. TWO MORE THINGS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PERFE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO USE CONTINGENCY FUNDS A NOT SPIKE OUR ABILITY TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING THIS YEAR. IT SEEMS LE AN UNEXPECTED

492
02:15:53.811 --> 02:16:08.993
THATE ARE GOING TO BE SEEKING THIS MONEY BACK FROM McCORMICK SALAZAR AND WHOEVER ELSE. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PUT THIS SITUATION TOGETHER AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO BE PAYING THIS. TH PROFITED FOR THE LAST TWO DECADES.

493
02:16:08.993 --> 02:16:25.109
THEY CAN FIND THAT MONEY FOR US ONCE WE FRONT THE MONEY FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS. AND LASTLY, I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'RE ALL AGREEING THAT THIS TYPE OF LIVG CONDITION IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND I HOPE THAT AS WE LOOK OUND THE CITY AND WE FIND OTHER FOLKS LIVING IN THESE

494
02:16:25.109 --> 02:16:42.193
TYPES OF CONDITIONS THAT WE CAN HAVE A SIMILARLY TYPE OF POWERFUL RESPONSE TO REMEDYING THEIR TERRIBLE LIVING CONDITIONS AND PUTTING IN THEYPE OF POLICY AND THE TYPE OF INVESTMENT THAT WE NEED FOR EVYBODY ACROSSHE CITY WHO ARE LIVING UNDER THE CONDITION

495
02:16:42.193 --> 02:16:57.775
THAT SLUM LORDS HAVE PUT THEM IN TOET JUSTICE AND GET A LIVING SITUATION THAT'S WORTHWHILE FOR ANY HUMAN BEING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. NEXT IS COUNCILMEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR.

496
02:16:57.775 --> 02:17:14.993
FORE I MOVE THIS FORWARD WITH RECOMMENDATIONS, CAN I GET A SECOND? WITHOUT RECOMMENDATIONS, CAN I GET A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> UM, I HAVE JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY

497
02:17:14.993 --> 02:17:30.908
IN THE BEGINNING OF ME FIRST LEARNING ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT HERITAGE PARK,HE VERY FIRST THING THAT I ASKED FOR WAS A MOLD INSPECTION. AND A MOLD INSPECTION REPORT. AND I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME THAT THE CITY DID NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY OR THE FUNDS OR THE FINANCING AND THAT WAS NOT

498
02:17:30.908 --> 02:17:47.525
SOMETHING THAT THEITY OF MINNEAPOLIS DID. AND THAT MAYBE THEY COULD GO TO HOME DEPOT AND GET SOME TEST STRIPS AND SEE IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN. SECOND THING THAT I ASKED FOR WAS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER'S REPORT.

499
02:17:47.525 --> 02:18:04.109
WITH RESPECT TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE BUILDINGS. BECAUSE THERE ARE 38 ROOFS WITH HOLES IN THEM. THAT HAVE BEEN IN THAT CONDITION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

500
02:18:04.109 --> 02:18:19.224
WHICH STILL LEADS ME TO REALLY STRUGGLING TO TAP INSIDE OF MY BRAIN OF HOW IT IS THAT MY GREAT CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ISSUED A RENTAL LICENSE TO A PROPERTY THAT IS IN THATEPLORABLE OF A

501
02:18:19.224 --> 02:18:35.840
CONDITION. THAT THE OVERSIGHT AND THE POWER FOR BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURE THAT ARE WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS AND JURISDICTION HAVE TO MEET A SPECIFIC CODE COMPLIANCE, AND WE

502
02:18:35.840 --> 02:18:50.187
AR RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CODE COMPLIANCE. THAT CODEOMPLIANCE WAS NOT MET. IT IS STILL NOT BEING MET AT HERITAGE PARK. AND I MEAN, TO WALK INTO A

503
02:18:50.187 --> 02:19:07.305
BUILDING AND TASTE MOLD, TO SMELL THE ROT OUTSIDE OF A BUILDING. TO SMELL IT. IT SMELLS LIKE DECAYING FLESH. IT REALLY DOES. LIKE I SENT SECURITY TO GO CAN

504
02:19:07.305 --> 02:19:24.355
YOU DO A WELFARE CHECK BECAUSE SOMETHING JUST DOESOT SMELL RIGHT AROUND HERE. THE SAD PART WAS 168 HVAC UNITS WERE REPLACED OVER THE WINTER BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE THERE WITH NO HEAT IN DECEMBER WHEN THE RECEIVER ARRIVED. HE ARRIVED THE 4th OF DECEMBER,

505
02:19:24.355 --> 02:19:40.405
THE HVAC UNITS WERE REPLACED WITHIN THAT FIRST 2 TO 3 WEEKS, LIKE RIGHT OVER THE TIME THAT PEOPLE WERE CELEBRATING GOOD OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THERE WERE CHILDREN INSIDE OF THESE APTMENT UNITS AT HERITAGE PARK THAT WERE FREEZING.

506
02:19:40.405 --> 02:19:58.022
SPACE HEATERS PRESENTING FIRE RISKS AT HERITAGE PARK. A TIME WHEN WE COULD HAVE CAME TOGETHER AS A CITY THEN, THIS WAS BEFORE I WAS ELECTED, AND SAID HEY, HERE'S LIFE SAVING MEASURE. LET'S GIVE THEM OUT OF THERE.

507
02:19:58.022 --> 02:20:14.572
AND I UNDERSTAND, DIRECTOR HANSEN, THAT YOU ARE SAYING,OU KNOW, THIS $2.5 MILLION, THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH THIS IN THIS RCA IS THAT I APPRECIATE CERTUS, THEY'VE BEEN SO HELPFUL AND RESPONSIVE AND

508
02:20:14.572 --> 02:20:29.787
ALL OF THOSE THINGS. THEY'VE PROVIDED US WITH A LOT OF TRANSPARENCY AROUND A LOT OF THINGS. GOOD GUYS. APPRECIATE THEM. THE EXTENUATING HEALTH CONCERNS RIGHT NOW, TO ME, IS THESE 94

509
02:20:29.787 --> 02:20:46.571
AND 97 DEGREE HEAT WAVESHAT WE HAVE HAD AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SENIORS IN THOSE BUILDINGS WITH OXYGEN TANKS THAT DO NOT HAVE ANY COOL AIR FWING THROUGH THERE AND THEY'RE SITTING IN MOLD. DAMP MOISTURE, CONDENSATION,

510
02:20:46.571 --> 02:21:01.552
FESTERING, HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING. HEARD THESE STORIES LAST NIGHT. I DIDN'T ADVERTISE MY COMMUNITY MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT FOR ADVERTISEMENT BECAUSE MY CONSTITUENTS ARE NOT ON DISPLAY.

511
02:21:01.552 --> 02:21:17.936
THEY ARE NOT ADVERTISED. THAT IS UNHUMANIZING. AND I DON'T WANT ANYBODY PICKING THEM APART LIKE PIECE O OLD WHATEVER. NOT INTERESTED IN THE MEDIA

512
02:21:17.936 --> 02:21:34.351
BEING  THERE. GET YOUR STORY ELSEWHERE. THESE ARE PPLE'S LIVES. SO I'M CURIOUS AS TO FIND OUT WHAT SITUATION DO YOU THINK WILL BE EXTENUATING ENOUGH BEFORE WE START MOVING PEOPLE INTO HOTELS

513
02:21:34.351 --> 02:21:50.701
AND GETTING THEM OUT OF THOSE SITUATIONS ON THIS ONE-WAY TICKET, PUTTI PEOPLE'S THINGS INTO STORAGE UNITS AND HELPING THEM START THE PATH OF RECOVERY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT'S NEEDED RIGHT NOW. EVERY TIME IT RAINS, I CAN'T

514
02:21:50.701 --> 02:22:10.388
SLEEP. WHEN IT'S HOT LIKE THIS, I AM PISSED OFF. BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT MY RESIDENTS AND THE CHILDN ARE GOING THROUGH IN HERITAGE PARK.

515
02:22:10.388 --> 02:22:25.637
I KNOW. BECAUSE I'M OVER THERE. BEEN TAKING ZERTEX D LE

516
02:22:25.637 --> 02:22:43.888
TICTACS JUST SO I CAN BREATHE AND GET THROUGH THIS. THE FACT THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A COOLING CONDITION OVER THERE, HAD A NINE MONTH PREGNANT MAMA STAYING ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF A UNIT IN BUILDING, EIGHT-PLEX, BY

517
02:22:43.888 --> 02:23:00.672
HERSELF, IN THAT BUILDING, THE ONLY RESIDENT, BABY DUE IN ONE WEEK. SHE GOT TORING HER FRESH NEW BABY HOME TO THAT ENVIRONMENT. WOULD YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR FRESH NEW BABY HOME IN THERE,

518
02:23:00.672 --> 02:23:15.286
DIRECTOR HANSEN? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, NO. >> SO, LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT. I WANT SOME JUSTICE FOR THE

519
02:23:15.286 --> 02:23:33.037
CONSTITUENTS OF MY WARD. AND I WANT THEM TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT. THERE IS NOT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW THAT CEUS NEEDS FROM US IN THE IMMEDIACY TO P A BAND AID ON

520
02:23:33.037 --> 02:23:49.020
ANOTHER BULLET WOUND OVE IN HERITAGE PARK. THE ORIGINAL NUMBERS FOR MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES THAT WE WERE SOFTLY FLUFFING UP AND AROUND, I KNOW THERE WAS A QUESTION EARLIER ABOUT WHAT WE THOUGHT

521
02:23:49.020 --> 02:24:06.170
THE CAPITAL AMOUNTS WERE GOING TO BE. PROBABLY ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT ROUGHLY A $35 MILLI CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. BUT NOW WITH THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED WITH REGARDS TO THESE BUILDINGS PRETTY MUCH BEING GUTTED DOW TO THE

522
02:24:06.170 --> 02:24:22.587
ENVELOPE, TO THE STUDS, YOU KNOW. AND THE AMOUNT OF ROOF REPAIR, AND THE STREET PAVING, THE FOAM THAT THEY SAID THAT THEY'RE GOING TO UTILIZE UNDERNEATH THE STEPS AND THEONCRETE IN ORDER

523
02:24:22.587 --> 02:24:38.435
TO LIFT IT AND RAISE IT, AND BALANCE IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, UNTIL THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE STRUCTURAL, YEAH WE'RE LOOKING AT OVER $100 MILLION. AND JUST SO WE KEEP IN MIND, THE

524
02:24:38.435 --> 02:24:58.122
HOME AND CONSENT DECREE WAS $118 MILLION. MPHA INPUTTED $27.8 MILLION. HUD DENOTED $16 MILLION. RIGHT? CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS $4.3 MILLION. DID McCORMICK BARREN SALAZAR

525
02:24:58.122 --> 02:25:13.237
COME TO THE TABLE WITH ANY MONE? THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A $225 MILLION DEVELOPMENT, 900 HOMES IN TOTALITY. 900 HOMES AS WE SAW INHIS PRESENTATION RIGHT HERE WERE NOT DEVELOPED.

526
02:25:13.237 --> 02:25:28.953
WHAT BAG DID HE COME WITH? McCORMICK BARREN SALAZAR WAS SUED IN 2018 IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, CLINTON V. PEABODY, CHECK THAT OUT. SUED 2021, 2023 IN SAN FRANCISCO

527
02:25:28.953 --> 02:25:49.473
EAST PLA FOR AGAIN MORE OF THE SAME DEPLORABLE LIVING CONDITIONS THAT WE'RE EXPERIENNG HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. AND IN 2022 IN NEW ORLEANS, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SETTLEMENT FOR FAIR HOUSING VIOLATIONS.

528
02:25:49.473 --> 02:26:06.924
WHAT WE SEE RHT HERE IS A DEVELOPER THAT HAS A HABITUAL PRACTICE OF BAD BUSINESS. WHAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT'S IN MY POWER HERE AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, REPRESENTATIV OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, IS

529
02:26:06.924 --> 02:26:24.942
DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE HABITUA PRACTICE OF BAD BUSINESS. I'M N INTERESTED IN PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT TRULY INTERESTED AND INVESTED IN MY COMMUNITY DOING

530
02:26:24.942 --> 02:26:42.159
ABSOLUTELY ANYTHG THAT HAS TO DO WITH BUILDING ANYTHING IN MY COMMUNITY. I'LL HAVE A LARGE GLASS OF NO THANK YOU WITH A SIDE OF PLEASE MOVE AROUND. SO THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. I THINK TH WE DO HAVE SOME

531
02:26:42.159 --> 02:26:57.108
EXTREMLY EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THERE. AND DIRECTOR HANSEN, YOURSELF, AND EVERYONE WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE MEETING LAST NIGHT HEARD FIRSTHAND WHAT THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE. I'M GOING TO LET THIS BE ONRD

532
02:26:57.108 --> 02:27:16.026
RAH -- ON RECORD. MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, YOU NEED TO RETURN THE SECTION 8 VOUCHERS OF THE RESIDENTS WHO YOU RETALIATED AGAINST AND REMOVE THEIR SECTION 8 AND HOUSING VOUCHERS BACK TO THEM. WE'VE GOT PEOPLE LIVING IN

533
02:27:16.026 --> 02:27:31.075
HOTELS THAT ARE DISPLACED WITH THEIR CHILDREN THAT NEED THEIR VOUCHERS BACK. SO YOU NEED TO GIVE THEM BACK TO THEM, BECAUSE YOU WERE WRONG, NOT THEM. THE END. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMB WARREN. COLLEAGUES, IS THERE ANY FURTHER

534
02:27:31.075 --> 02:27:49.593
DISCUSSION? JUST CHECKING MY QUEUE. WE DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. THE MOTION BEFORE US IS TO MOVE THIS FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMM RECOENDATION. I'LL MAKE THE POINT THAT I THINK TO STAFF, I THINK IT WOULD BE

535
02:27:49.593 --> 02:28:07.244
VALUABLE FOR YOU TO BE PRESE AT THE COUNCIL MEETING AND THAT WOULD BE INCLUSIVE OF ALL DEPARTMENTS. I THINK IT WOULD ALSO BE VALUABLE TO HAVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT LOOPED INTO THE CONVERSATION AS WELL. I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING WE DIDN'T TOUCH BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH TO COVER HERE TODAY.

536
02:28:07.244 --> 02:28:24.595
SO WITH THE MOTION FRO COUNCILMEMBER WARREN TO MOVE THIS FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THAT MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. ALL RIGHT.

537
02:28:24.595 --> 02:28:40.845
NOW, WE'LL BE RECEIVING A PRESENTATION THAT -- SOY, I'M A LITTLE OUT OF SCRIPT. LONG PRESENTATION. NOW I'LL RETURN -- OKAY. WE'RE MOVING INTO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS OF COMMITTEE.

538
02:28:40.845 --> 02:28:58.862
I'LL TURN THE MEETING OVER TO COUNCILMEMBER WHITING, THE CHAIR OF T SUBCOMMITTEE  -- SETTLEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE. I'LL ALSO SHARE WE HAVE CAPTIONING UNTIL 4:30.

539
02:28:58.862 --> 02:29:15.979
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT DECREE SUBCOMMITTEE WHICH RESIDES WITHIN THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. THIS HAS BEEN OUR SECOND MEETING OF THIS SUBCOMMITTEE. MEMBERS, WE WILL NEXT BE PICKING UP ITEM NUMBER TWO WHICH WE ARE RECEIVING A PRESENTATION FROM

540
02:29:15.979 --> 02:29:33.797
EFFECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT F ALL OR ELEFA. ELEFA IS AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES AS THE OFFICIAL INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR OVERSEEING THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT'S COMPLIANCE WITH TH

541
02:29:33.797 --> 02:29:51.048
MDHR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. ELEFA IS AN EXPER IN CIVIL RIGHTS POLICING ANDT'S ROLE IS TO OBJECTIVELY MONITOR MINNEAPOLIS POLICE'S PROGRESS. THE PURPOSE IS TO MEASURE THE

542
02:29:51.048 --> 02:30:06.730
CITY'S PROGRESS TOWARDS SYSTEMIC REFORM AND BUILD COMMUNITY TRUST IN POLICING THE REPORT THAT WE WILL HAVE TODAY IS ELEFA'S MOST RECENT SEMIANNUAL REPORT WHICH COVERS THE PERIOD OF OCTOBER 1, 2025, THROUGH MARCH 31, 2026.

543
02:30:06.730 --> 02:30:23.747
AND JUST TO NOTE HERE, THIS IS THE FIRST OF WHAT WE HOPE TO BE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PRESENTATIONS AFTER EACH SEMIANNUAL REPORT FROM ELEFA AND SO I WILL PASS IT OVER TO OUR

544
02:30:23.747 --> 02:30:40.965
INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR, DID DOUGLAS, AND DELIVER THIS PRESENTATION. I ALS WANT TO THANK MR. DOUGLAS FOR THE QCK TURNAROUND AS WE ASKED FAIRLY QUICK AND YOU CAME AND MADE IT A POINT TO BE HERE. SO I APPRECIATE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

545
02:30:40.965 --> 02:30:58.182
>> CHAIR WHITING, THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU ALL DAY. >> IF YOU'RE ABLE TO HAVE THE MIC RIGHT THERE. PERFECT. THANK YOU. >> THIS TAKESE BACK TO ONE OF OUR EARLY PUBLIC MEETINGS WHERE DEMSTRATED MY INABILITY TO STAND IN ONE PLACE AND TALK WITHOUT PACING.

546
02:30:58.182 --> 02:31:13.330
BUT TNK YOU ALL FOR ALLOWING ME TO APAIR TO -- APPEAR TODAY. WE APPRECIATE IT. THE WORK WE DO CAN'T BE DONE IN ISOLATION. WE HAVE TO BE PART OF AN ECOSYSTEM THAT WILL DRIVE TRSPORTATION AND SUSTAIN IT AFTER WE LEAVE.

547
02:31:13.330 --> 02:31:29.980
SO I AND OUR TEAM, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE INTEREST THAT YOU'VE ALL SHOWN AND THE SUPPORT YOU'VE GIVEN US. I'LL ALSO NOTE I CAME FROM WASHINGTON D.C. I APPRECIATE YOU ARRANGING THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY FOR MY COMFORT, BUT REALLY YOU

548
02:31:29.980 --> 02:31:44.962
SHOULDN'T HAVE. SO I DO HAVE A FEW SLIDES HERE TO WALK US THROUGH.

549
02:31:44.962 --> 02:32:02.779
SO SIMPLY FOR OUR AGENDA. VERY SIMPLY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROCESS, WHERE WE ARE OVER THE FIRST TWO YEARS, AND THEN OF COURSE WHERE WE'LL BE GOING OVER THE NT TWO YEARS. THIS INVITATION COMES AT A GOOD TIME BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING ON

550
02:32:02.779 --> 02:32:18.028
OUR REVISED EVALUATION PLAN FOR YEARS 3 AND 4. SO THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO UPDATE ALL OF YOU. IF I CAN JUST START WITH PROCESS. AS CHAIR WHITING EXPLAINED,

551
02:32:18.028 --> 02:32:36.213
WE'RE THE INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR. OUR ROLE IS -- OUR ROLE SIMPLY

552
02:32:36.213 --> 02:32:52.396
PUT IS TO  THREE THINGS. WE MONITOR, WE COACH AND REPORT. I WORK WITH A TEAM OF ABOUT A DOZEN SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS. AND THEY LEND THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND GUIDANCE AND INSIGHTS TO HELP THE CY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ACHIEVE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SETTLEMENT

553
02:32:52.396 --> 02:33:12.482
AGREEMENT. IF I CAN ZOOM OUT HOWEVER FOR A MOMENT, WHAT WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT IS INSTITUTIONAL CHAN AND TRANSFORMATION. SO WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE IS STUDIES AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE ELEMENTS THAT GO INTO

554
02:33:12.482 --> 02:33:28.265
A SUCCESSFUL TRANSFORMATION. AND WE FOLLOW THAT MODEL IN OUR WORK. IT INFORMS WHAT WE DO, IT GUIDES WHAT WE DO. WE FOLLOW A PATH. SO JUST BRIEFLY THOSE KEYS ARE YOU HAVE TO HAVE AENSE OF URGENCY TO HAVE A GREAT TRANSFORMATION. AND THAT OF COURSE IS VERY TRUE HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS.

555
02:33:28.265 --> 02:33:46.183
YOU HAVE TO FORM A POWERFUL COALITION. AND YOU HAVE THAT IN MINNEAPOLIS AS A BIG PART OF THE REASON THAT WE WE SELECTED BECAUSE OF BROAD COMMUNITY SUPPORT. THERE HAS TO BE A VISION FOR CHANGE AND THAT'S CAPTURED SPECIFICALLY IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, BUT MORE BROADLY IN THE DEMANDS FOR

556
02:33:46.183 --> 02:34:06.070
CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND WE DO THAT IN LARGE PART THROUGH OUR PUBLIC MEETINGS AND APPEARING BEFORE YOU. WE HAVE TO EMPOWER OTHERS TO ACT ON THE VISION, AND WE DO THAT BY EMPOWERING PEOPLE IN THE DEPARTME AND IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

557
02:34:06.070 --> 02:34:21.985
AND SOME OF WHAT I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT TODAY FALLS INTO THAT CATEGORY OF SHORT-TERM WINS. AS YOU BUILD THOSE WINS, YOU CONSOLIDATE THOSE GAINS, YOU EXPAND THEM, AND ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE CULTURE CHANGE. AND YOU WANT TO ANCHOR THE CHANGES YOU'VE MADE IN A NEW AND SUSTAINABLE CULTURE.

558
02:34:21.985 --> 02:34:37.735
SO IN THE BIG PICTURE, THAT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. IT'S WHY THIS TAKES SO LONG BECAUSE IT'S HARD AND THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PIECES. BUT IN THE CATEGORY OF SMALL WINS, BUT IMPTANT WINS, LET ME

559
02:34:37.735 --> 02:34:52.216
HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THEM. THERE ARE MANY MORE LISTED IN OUR MT RECENT REPORT. BUT SOME OF THE KEY ACHIEVEMENTS ARE THE FULL USE OF FORCE POLICY SUITE, USE OF FORCE IS ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS AND ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT BROUGHT US HERE.

560
02:34:52.216 --> 02:35:08.632
SO THAT'S THE SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT. WE'VE ALSO APPROVED POLICIES FOR NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICING AND MISCONDUCT. ON THAT ONE WE'RE WORNG ON A CORRECTIVE ACTION MATRIX. SIMILARLY STOP SEARCH CITATION, AND ARREST POLICIES

561
02:35:08.632 --> 02:35:25.549
ARE LARGELY APPROVED. I THINK THERE THE ONE WE'RE WORKING ON IS WARRANTS. AND A POLY AND RESOURCE HUB HAS BEEN LAUNCHED THAT WILL MAKE POLICIES MORE ACCESSIBLE TO OFFICERS. I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MINUTE.

562
02:35:25.549 --> 02:35:41.798
WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON THE TRNING, WHERE THE TRAINING NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED. THE DEPARTMENT WIDE USE OF FORCE TRAINING HAS BEEN DELIVERED AND THAT POLICY IS NOW LIVE. CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINING, REFRESHMENT TRAINER SUPERVISOR

563
02:35:41.798 --> 02:35:56.980
LEADERSHIP TRAINING HAS BEEN DELIVERED AS WELL AS OFFICER WELLNESS AND EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM TRAINING. ON THE OPERATIONAL SIDE, THE PEER SUPPORT TM HAS GROWN.

564
02:35:56.980 --> 02:36:13.397
IT'S CRITICAL INCIDENTS AND HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. THERE ARE NOW SIX PUBLIC-FACING DASHBOARDS. THE DATA SYSTEMS PLAN HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED ALTHOUGH THAT HAS BEEN A LONG PATH.

565
02:36:13.397 --> 02:36:28.946
AND WE CONDUCTED COMMUNITY AND OFFICER SURVEYS IN JUNE. AND WILL BE REPORTING ON THOSE LATER THIS SUMMER. WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF APPROVED POLICIES, I'M NOT GOING

566
02:36:28.946 --> 02:36:46.796
TO GO INTO THIS LIST, I JUST WANTED TO SUMMARIZE SOME OF THOSE I HAVE IN THE KEY ACHIEVEMENTS. WE HAVE APPROVED A NUMBER OF POLICIES. THERE'S WORK CONTINUING. THESE POLICIES ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WHICH IS A

567
02:36:46.796 --> 02:37:02.779
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS WITH US AND DHR AS WELL AS THESE. SO THERE'S A LOT GOING ON ON THE POLICY FRONT. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE AND WE'VE DONE THIS IN OUR PUBLIC MEETING SO SOME OF THE BENEFICIAL

568
02:37:02.779 --> 02:37:20.564
CHANGES THAT THESE NEW POLICIES PUT IN PLACE. SO THE OLD ESCALATION POLICY WAS MUCH VAGUER ABOUT DE-ESCALATION, IT WAS MUCH ME MORE DISCRETIONARY TO THE OFFICER.

569
02:37:20.564 --> 02:37:36.079
THEY SHALL ATTEMPT TO USE IT WITH YOU IT WASN'T A SPECIFIC POLICY, IT'S MUCH CLRER. SWORN MEMBERS HAVE A CLEAR AFFIRMATIVE DUTY TO DE-ESCALATE. MEMBERS SHALL NOT USE TACTICS THAT UNNECESSARILY ESCALATE AN ENCOUNTER OR CREATE A NEED FOR FORCE. AND EXPANDEDIST OF

570
02:37:36.079 --> 02:37:50.660
DE-ESCALATION TECH KNEEINGS AND TACTICS TIED -- TECHNIQUES AND TACTICS TIED TO TRAINING CONCEPTS. WE OBSERVED THE USE OF FORCE TRAINING, IT WAS REALLY QUITE GOOD. THERE ARE MANY MORE EXAMPLES I COULD GIVE YOU, BUT THAT'S JUST A SENSE OF IT.

571
02:37:50.660 --> 02:38:08.979
BUT THESE POLICIES WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THIS IS A SCREENSHOT AND A GIF, I GUESS, SHOWING YOU THERE IS A NEW POLICY HUB. AND THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT BECAUSE ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE THINGS WE'VE HEARD FROM THE OFFICERS IS THAT THE

572
02:38:08.979 --> 02:38:24.428
POLICIES WERE TOO LONG AND TOO INACCESSIBLE. THEY WERE JUST IN A LONG MANUAL. SO NOW THIS IS AN ONLINE PLATFORM AND THE OFFICER OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC CAN GO TO. IF YOU NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING

573
02:38:24.428 --> 02:38:41.244
ABOUT A POLICY, FOR EXAMPLE HERE THE DUT TO DE-ESCALATE, YOU CAN CLICK RIGHT ON IT. WITHIN THE POLICY ITSELF, I YOU HOVER OVER A DEFINED TERM, IT POPS UP. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE RECEIVED FROM OFFICERS, WILL THESE POLICIES BE MORE CONCISE?

574
02:38:41.244 --> 02:38:57.060
WELL THE TRUTH IS THE POLICIES ARE NOT MORE CONCISE, BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO BE CONCISE AND COMPREHENSIVE AND CLEAR ALL AT ONCE. BUT THE REAL QUESTION, I THINK THEY'RE ASKING, IS ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY. ARE THESE POLICIES GOING TO BE MORE ACCESSIBLE.

575
02:38:57.060 --> 02:39:14.177
AND THROUGH THE POLICY HUB, THE ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY YES. TH'LL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS THROUGH THEIR VEHICLES, THROUGH THEIR PHONES. AND THE POLICIES ARE CLEARER. SO WE BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL FIND THIS TO BE A MEANIFUL IMPROVEMENT FOR THE DEPARTMENT BUT ALSO FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE.

576
02:39:14.177 --> 02:39:31.227
SO THE PATH TO COMPLIANCE HAS THREEEY ELEMENTS. FIRST POLICIES WHERE WE'VE BEEN PUTTING A LOT OF OUR ATTENTION. AND WE'LL MOVE INTO TRAINING INCREASINGLY. AND THEN ULTIMATELY ACCOUNTABILITY WHICH IS THE LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT BECAUSE THE POLICIES AND

577
02:39:31.227 --> 02:39:47.143
TRAINING REALLY DON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF IT DOESN'T TRANSLATE TO CHANGE ON THE STREET. AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT ACCOUNTABILITY. WE DO THAT THROUGH AUDITS. AND WE'LL BE CONDUCTING REGULAR AUDITS. WE'LL START A USE OF FORCE AUDIT THIS YEAR NOW THAT THE TRAINING

578
02:39:47.143 --> 02:40:03.326
HAS BEEN COMPLETED. BUT THERE ARE OTHER FORMS OF ACCOUNTABILITY, THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS AND MISCONDUCT INVESTIGATION SYSTEM IS CRITICAL TO THAT. I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE. AND OF COURSE CLOSE SERVISION IS ALSO CRITICAL TO ENSURING

579
02:40:03.326 --> 02:40:18.241
THAT OFFICERS UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DO AND HELP THEM DO IT AND THEN HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY DO NOT. SO THERE ARE CHALLENGES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGES OVER

580
02:40:18.241 --> 02:40:36.560
THE FIRST FEW YEARS AS DOCUMENTED. IN OUR REPORT, FIRST THERE'S BEEN STAFFING SHORTAGES AND TURNOVER THAT'S BEEN MOST ACUTE IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS UNIT, ALSO A FACTOR IN THE OFFICER HEALTH AND WELLNESS UNIT. BUT IT'S ALSO BEEN AN ISSUE OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.

581
02:40:36.560 --> 02:40:52.175
MORE GENERALLY AS ONE WOULD EXPE THERE'S ALWAYS SOME TURNOVER. THE BIG ONE HAS BEEN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS BACKLOG AND THE REVIEW BOTTLENECKS. AS YOU SEE IN MY LAST REPORT, THERE REALLY HAS BEEN VIRTUALLY NO MEANINGFUL PROGRESS ONTHAT.

582
02:40:52.175 --> 02:41:09.759
THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE THAT WE OBSERVED PREVIOUSLY THAT REALLY CAME TO A HEAD IN OUR WE TALKED ABOUT THE POLICY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. ALTHOUGH I FEEL MUCH BETTER OUT THOSE. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF LESSONS LEARNED, EFFICIENCIES ACHIEVED,

583
02:41:09.759 --> 02:41:25.875
IMPROVEMENTS MADE. AND I FEEL IT IS WORKING MUCH BETTER, SO I FEE OPTIMISTIC THAT OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, WE'LL SEE POLICIES DEVELOPED AND APPROVED AT FASTER RATE THAN DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS. TRAININGUALITY AND DELIVERY GAPS. WE'VE SEEN ISSUES OF TURNOVER

584
02:41:25.875 --> 02:41:42.125
AND LACK OF INTERNAL COORDINATION OR ALNMENT. THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE REALLY BEGINNING TO FOCUS ON NOW AS WE INCREASINGLY MOVE FROM POLICIES INTO TRAINING. SO THAT WI BE A MAJOR AREA OF FOCUS FOR US OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

585
02:41:42.125 --> 02:41:57.607
THE TECHNOLOGY AND DAT SYSTEMS, YOU CAN'T RUN A MODERN POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT ROBUST TECHNOLOGY AND DATA SYSTEMS. AND THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN MUCH SLOWER THAN WE HAD HOPED. BUT THAT WILL BE KEY TO IMPLEMENTING AND SUSTAINING ANY

586
02:41:57.607 --> 02:42:13.189
OF THE CHANGES OR ALMOST ALL OF THE CHANGES UNDER THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. AND FINALLY, ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE D LEADERSHIP WE'VE COMMENTED ON THE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF OFFICERS, LACK OF CMUNICATION FROM DEPARTMENT LEADERS ABOUT WHAT THIS PROCESS

587
02:42:13.189 --> 02:42:29.706
IS, ITS IMPORTANCE AND WHAT IT WOULD MEAN FOR OFFICERS. WE WOUL CHANGE. I SHOULD PROBABLY PAUSE JT TO NOTE THAT THESE CHALLENGES ARE FROM THE FIRST TWO YEARS. AS WE ALL KN, THERE HAS BEEN A LEADERSHIP CHANGE IN THE DEPARTMENT. WE'RE ENCOURAGED BY WHAT WE'VE SEEN.

588
02:42:29.706 --> 02:42:45.355
IT'S VERY EARLY, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE CRITICISM AND WE'RE NOT YET PICKING UP OBSERVATIONS AB ABOUT --.

589
02:42:45.355 --> 02:43:02.238
SO I'M SURE MY OF IF NOT ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE OF OUR CRITICISMS OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS. WE HAD BEEN REPORTING ON THAT AND EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN ABOUT IT IN EACH OF OUR REPORTS. THEACKLOG IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. AND AS WE'VE SAID IT'S SERIOUS

590
02:43:02.238 --> 02:43:20.556
FOR THE PUBLIC, BUT IT'S SERIOUS FOR OFFICERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINTS MONTHS BUT IN MANY CASES YEARS. SO THIS SLIDE SIMPLY REALLY CAPTURES WHAT WE HAD REPORTED OVER TIME. BUT JUST TO BE CANDID, IT WAS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THAT WE

591
02:43:20.556 --> 02:43:37.307
SORT OF CAME TO THE POINT THAT WHATEVER CHANGES HAD BEEN PROMISEDND CHANGES THAT WERE REALLY MAKING NO DIFFERENCE, AND IN FACT IT DID NOT EVEN SEEM THAT THEY WERE REALLY DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE CHURN QUITE

592
02:43:37.307 --> 02:43:53.223
FRANKLY. AND THAT'S WHEN WE BECAME VERY POINTED IN OUR CRITICISM IN OUR MOST RECENT REPORT. THIS SLIDE JUST GIVES YOU AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE TIMELINES AND DELAYS WE'VE SEEN IN THE CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR

593
02:43:53.223 --> 02:44:11.074
INTERNAL AFFAIRS AND OPCR. THE ROOT CAUSES THAT WE'VE SEEN ARE VENDOR STAFF ATTRITION, AND SLOW FOLLOW-UP ON CONFIGURATION REQUESTS, PARTICULARLY IN THE FIRST YEAR. THE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY SLOW IN

594
02:44:11.074 --> 02:44:25.755
ARTICULATING WHAT IT NEED FROM THE SYSTEM AND THAT WAS THE FIRST STEP IN THAT PROCESS. THE PROJECT WAS UNDERRESOURCED. AND IT WAS, THE CURRENT VENDOR, THE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHI

595
02:44:25.755 --> 02:44:40.870
DEPRIORITIZED THE PROJECT IN FAVOR OF A PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE VENDOR. BUT THERE HAD BEEN A LK OF COMMITMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT TO DRIVING THESE REALLY CRITICAL SYSTEM CHANGES. WE ALSO NOTE HERE THAT THE EARLY

596
02:44:40.870 --> 02:44:58.889
INTERVENTION SYSTEM PHASE TWO DEPLOYMENT HAS BEEN PAUSED DUE TO STAFFING TURNOVER AND LEADERSHIP CHANGES. WE HOPE THAT WILL BE RECTIFIED SOON. D THAT THAT WILL GET BACK ON TRACK.

597
02:44:58.889 --> 02:45:14.671
OUR LAST REPORT, WE MADE A SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HOPE THE CITY WILL ACT ON. SOME OF THEM THEY ALREADY HAVE. IN FACT THIS FIRST ONE, REASSESS PERSONAL CAPACITY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, THEY'VE BEGUN TO DO THAT. THE DEPARTMENT HAS ASK OUR TEAM FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON

598
02:45:14.671 --> 02:45:30.854
THE STAFFING AND INTERNAL AFFAIRS UNIT. AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT OTHER ISSUES TO HOPEFULLY ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND THE RIGHT ALIGNMENT OF ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

599
02:45:30.854 --> 02:45:46.969
ESTABLISHING CLEAR SUPERVISORY AUORITY AND REPORTING. AS YOU MAY KNOW, THERE'S THIS ODD CONSTELLATION, THERE'S THE MPD IMPLEMENTATION UNIT, THERE'S THE CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPLEMENTATION UNIT. OF COURSE THEY'RE THE SUBJECT

600
02:45:46.969 --> 02:46:03.820
MATTER EXPERTS THEY NEED TO TALK TO. AND OFTEN IT WAS UNCLEAR WHAT THE ROLES WERE AND WHERE THE AUTHORITY LAY. AND THAT JUST LED TO DELAYS AND INEFFICIENCIES. SO WE ARE HOPING THAT THAT IS CLARIFIED.

601
02:46:03.820 --> 02:46:20.937
SUPPLEMENT COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION CHANNELS. THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT SMALL WORK STREAMS HERE. AN THERE ARE BIG MEETINGS WITH MANY GROUPS. BUT SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO GET A FEW PEOPLE IN THE ROOM TALKING TO EACH OTHER. THIS IS ALL WITHIN MPD TO GET A LINE ON WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO

602
02:46:20.937 --> 02:46:36.352
MOVE THINGS FORWARD. NOW THAT THAT WAS NOT HPENING AS IT SHOULD. AND NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED. THERE E A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION UNDER THE AGREEMENT. BUT NOT ALL OF THEM SEEM TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT

603
02:46:36.352 --> 02:46:53.069
THEIR ROLE IS, HOW IT FITS IN. MANY OF THEM HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES BEYOND IMPLEMENTATION. SETTING PRIORITIES AND MAKING SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND HOW IT FITS IN HAS BEEN LACKING. AND WE HOPE THAT THAT WILL IMPROVE AND WE'VE RECOMMENDED

604
02:46:53.069 --> 02:47:08.985
THAT THE DEPARTMENT TAKE STEPS TO DO THAT. STANDING MEETING TIMES. AGAIN, SOMETIMES WE OBSERD DELAYS JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE BUSY AND THEY COULD NEVER GET ALL OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE

605
02:47:08.985 --> 02:47:25.534
ROOM. WE'VE DONE THAT. WE HAVE MEETINGS WITH THE PARTIES ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WE HAVE STANDING POLICY MEETINGS. STANDING DATA MEETINGS SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW WE HAVE AN HOUR. THIS IS THE THING THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS NEXT AND WE'VE ENCOURAGED THE DEPARTMENT TO DO MORE OF THAT. AND TN KEEP DEPARTMENT

606
02:47:25.534 --> 02:47:41.818
PERSONNEL INFORMED. WE FOUND THAT OFFICERS KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT ITS IMPLEMENTATION AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT THEM. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT VUUM LEADS TO MORALE ISSUES AND CONFUSION AND MISINFORMATION.

607
02:47:41.818 --> 02:47:59.902
SO WE WOULD HOPE THE DEPARTMENT WOULD ESTABLISH BETTER LINES OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE RANK AND FILE ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT WORK. SO WHERE DO WE GO IN YEARS 3 AND 4? SO YOU SEE IN THIS SLIDE, WE

608
02:47:59.902 --> 02:48:17.987
GENERALLY HAVE USED THIS CONSTRUCT OF THE FOUNDATION, EVALUATION, AND COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION. FIRST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN FOUNDATIONAL. SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL BEGIN SLOWLY TO TRANSITION TO THE

609
02:48:17.987 --> 02:48:36.472
EVALUATION PHASE. BUT TO BE CLEAR THE FOUNDION PHASE HAS GONE SLOWER THAN WE THOUGHT. MAJORITY OF GOALS WERE NOT MET FOR THE REASONS I DISCUSSED. BUT WE ARE BEGINNING TO

610
02:48:36.472 --> 02:48:51.221
STAGE.TION TO THE EVALUATION AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE'LL BE DOING AUDITS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE'LL DO A USE OF FORCE YOU HAD IT NOW. AND THERE ARE NEW POLICIES IN WE KNEW THAT THINGS WERE BAD. THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT US HERE. SO WE DIDN'T DO AUDITSUST TO TELL US WHAT WE KNEW.

611
02:48:51.221 --> 02:49:07.803
WE DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL A NEW POLICY HAS BN ADOPTED, TRAINED ON, AND IMPLEMENTED. WE WAIT 3 TO 6 MONTHS FOR OFFICERS TO GET USED TO IT AND THEN WE'LL START AUDITING. WE WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THERE ARE HIGHER LEVELS OF NONCOMPLIANCE EARLY ON, AND YOU

612
02:49:07.803 --> 02:49:23.820
FOCUS ON THE EDUCATION NECESSARY FOR OFFICERS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S EXPECTED. SO WE'LL DO THOSE AUDITS ON A RECURRING BASIS AS WE MOVE TO COMPLIANCE. AND THEN FINALLY, THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT SPECIFIES WHAT

613
02:49:23.820 --> 02:49:40.369
CONSTITUTES COMPLIANCE AND THAT WILL BE THE FINAL STAGE OF THIS WHEREE MAKE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND ULTI ULTIMATELY -- IF THE PARTIES DON'T AGREE, THEN JUDGE JANICE WILL DECIDE ULTIMATELY IF THE

614
02:49:40.369 --> 02:49:57.186
DERTMENT HAS MET ITS RESPONSIBILITY UNDER THE AGREEMENT. THERE'S NO NUMERICAL MEASURE FOR THAT. THE AGREEMENT SPECIFICALL SAYS WE DON'T USE PERCENTAGES. THAT MAKES SENSE. SO IT'S A MH MORE QUALITATIVE

615
02:49:57.186 --> 02:50:12.969
PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT THAT WE'LL BE MAKING. SO THE SPECIFIC THINGS, PRIORITIES FOR YEARS 3 AND 4, WE HAVE TO COMPLETE THE REMAINING POLICIES, STANDARD OPERATING

616
02:50:12.969 --> 02:50:29.352
PROCEDURES, AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT SUPERVISORS IMPLEMENT AND REINFORCE AROVED POLICIES. WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON REDUCING THESE AOUNTABILITY BACKLOGS. WE HOPE THAT THAT WILL HAPPEN IN YEAR THREE AND NOT CONTINUE TO YEAR FOUR.

617
02:50:29.352 --> 02:50:45.802
WE WANT TO DEPLOY THE EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM AND IMPROVE THE WELLNESS RESOURCES AND WORKFORCE SUPPORT SYSTEMS. WE'LL BE EXPANDING OUR AUDITS AND COMPLIANCE REVIEWS, STRENGTHENING DATA SYSTEMS, DASHBODS AND REPORTING.

618
02:50:45.802 --> 02:51:00.616
AND THEN ULTIMATELY OR ADDITIONALLY, WE WANT TO SUSTAIN COUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY. YOU'LL NOTE HERE ON THE SLIDE THAT ONLY TWO PARTS, POLICY AND BODY-WORN AND ANY CAR CAMERAS

619
02:51:00.616 --> 02:51:18.834
ACHIEVE LIKELY T ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITHIN THE INITIAL FOUR YEAR AGREEMENT. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE HERE WITHIN THE FIRST TWO YEARS, WE APPROVED A FACILITIES PLAN THAT CALLED FOR A NEW TRAINING CENTER. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT HASN'T BEEN FUNDED. SO THE CITY WILL -- TO ACHIEVE

620
02:51:18.834 --> 02:51:36.418
COMPLIANCE -- WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT MEETS THE OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S A CALL THAT WE DON'T MAKE. WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT THE CURRENT TRAINING FACILITIES ARE JUST WOEFULLY INADEQUATE FOR THE NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT OR THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, AS YOU KNOW. THEY'RE IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,

621
02:51:36.418 --> 02:51:52.635
. IT'S NOT IN ANY WAY CONFIGUREABLE TO E NEEDS OF A BIG CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT. EVEN IF IT WERE POLICE PROPERTY, THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS UNIT IS NOT THERE. THE TRAINING PLAN CALLED FOR A

622
02:51:52.635 --> 02:52:08.951
SING SOURCE OF TRAINING WHICH WOULD BRING NOT ONLY MPD, BUT ALSO FIRE, EMS. WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH SORT OF THE ULTIMATE PUBLIC SAFETY ECOSYSTEM THAT YOU WANT TO SEE. IN A CITY.

623
02:52:08.951 --> 02:52:25.535
AND IT ALSO CALLED FOR THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS UNIT TO BE HOUSED THERE WITH TRAINING WHICH WE BELIEVE IS A VERY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIP. BACK AT OUR LAST PUBLIC MEETING, A WOMAN STOOD UP VERY ELOQUENTLY

624
02:52:25.535 --> 02:52:42.785
TALKED ABOUT THE TRAUMA THAT THE OFFICERS IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD HAD EXPERIENCED. AND SHE TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING CARE OF OUR OFFICERS MENTAL HEALTH. MOST IMPRESSIVELY THOUGH TO ME, SHE MADE THE LINK.

625
02:52:42.785 --> 02:52:59.001
SHE SAID BECAUSE THE OFFICERS WHO ARE TRAUMATIZED REPEAT THEIR AUMA ON US. SO OFFICER HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS CRITICAL TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND TO PROTECTING THE PUBLIC. SO WE DON'T LOOK AT THIS

626
02:52:59.001 --> 02:53:16.185
NARROWLY AS SOMETHING FOR OFFICERS. TRAINING OFFICERS TO DO THE THINGS WE DEMAND OF THEM TO DO REQUIRES A FACILITY OR CONFIGURATION EQUAL TO THAT TASK. SO THAT WILL BE SOMETHINGHAT WE WILL BE EXPECT TO GO SEE FROM

627
02:53:16.185 --> 02:53:34.603
THE CITY IN THIS NEXT PHASE. A FEW NEXT STEPS. SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE CONDUCTED COMMUNITY AND OFFICER SURVEYS. WE'LL BE RELEASING THOSE LATER THIS SUMMER. 'LL PROBABLY DO IT IN A VIRTUAL MEETING SO THAT THE PUBLIC AND EVERYONE WILL HEAR

628
02:53:34.603 --> 02:53:51.254
IT. OUR YEAR 3 AND 4 EVALUATION PLAN WILL ALSO BE RELEASED THIS SUMMER. AND WE DO A LOT WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN ADDITION TO OUR REGULAR PUBLIC MEETINGS WHICH ARE RY WELL ATTENDED. WE MEET WH OTHER GROUPS, SMALL GROUPS INDIVIDUALS.

629
02:53:51.254 --> 02:54:08.170
SO WE TRY AND SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING TO FOLKS HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE PROCESS AND TO HEAR T. I THINK THAT'S REALLY IT. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THIS. IT'S BEEN A TOUGH SLOG, BUT I WILL SAY PERSONALLY I AM AS

630
02:54:08.170 --> 02:54:24.987
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THI PROCESS AS I HAVE BEEN AT ANY STAGE IN IT. I AM ENCOURAGED BY WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE NEW LEADERSHIP. AND I'M REALLY SEEING IN THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, THEY' BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THIS PROCESS AND THE ENGAGEMENT IN OUR MEETINGS IS --E GET 60 TO 80 PEOPLE. THE QUESTIONS ARE GOOD.

631
02:54:24.987 --> 02:54:43.139
THEY'RE CONSTRUCTIVE. MEMBERS OF OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS SHOW UP SO IT BECOMES A DISCUSSION OF ISSUES. AND THAT, I THINK, IS TAKING US DOWN THE ROAD TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE WHICH IS CREATING AN ECOSYSTEM AROUND THE PICE DEPARTMENT SO THAT WHEN WE'RE

632
02:54:43.139 --> 02:54:59.521
GONE, ALL OFOU ARE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND HOLD IT ACCOUNTABLE AND WE' START TO GO SEE THAT HAPPEN. SO I RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S TAKEN LONGER THAN PEOPLE WOULD HAVE WANTED AND PROBABLY LONGER THAN PEOPLE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, BUT IT IS HAPPING. AND WE'RE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT IT. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

633
02:54:59.521 --> 02:55:17.073
THANK YOU. >> YES, AND THANK YOU, MR. DOUGLAS. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR THE WORK AS IT RELATES TO TSE PROGRESS REPORTS AS WELL. I KNOW IT'S HELPFUL FOR MYSELF AND I KNOW A LARGE NUMBER OF MY COLLEAGUES AS WELL. AND SO WITH THAT, COUNCIL

634
02:55:17.073 --> 02:55:32.054
MEMBERS, I KNOW WE HAVE A FEW OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE THAT HAVE QUESTIONS. SO WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO OUR COLLEAGUES HERE AND SO FIRST ON OUR LIST IS COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR WHITING. I WANT TO FIRST START BY EXPRESSING MY FRUSTRATION WITH

635
02:55:32.054 --> 02:55:48.571
MPD'S LACK OF PROGRESS REGARDING THE STATE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. AND MY REGARDS WITH ELEFA WITH REGARDS TO HOW LONG THEY REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCI IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN THE SIGNATION OF THE CHIEF FOR

636
02:55:48.571 --> 02:56:04.153
ELEFA TO SPEAK UP. RESIDENTS ARE PAYING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY NOT SILENCE. I HOPE ELEFA IS MORE PROACTIVE IN REACHING OUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A PUBLIC DEBACLE FOR YOU TO SPEAK UP TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTABILITY AND

637
02:56:04.153 --> 02:56:19.935
ADDRESS THE CONRNS THAT MY CONSTITUENTS IN THE 9th WARD HAVE. HERE ARE SOME CONCERNING HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS REPORT AND POLICE LACK OF PROGRESS. ONE THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS. TWO, THERE'S NO MEANINGFUL PROGRESS WHEN IT COMES TO

638
02:56:19.935 --> 02:56:36.051
CONCERNS ABOUT MPD'S LACK OF PROGRESS TO REDUCE ITS INTERNAL AFFAIRS CASE BACKLOG. THREE, PROGRESS TOWARD INFLUENCING AN EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM HAS ALSO STALLED DUE TO MANAGEMENT WEAKNESS AND PERSONNEL TURNOVER. FOUR, POLICY AND TRAINING

639
02:56:36.051 --> 02:56:52.735
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES AT AN UNEVEN PACE. FIVE, THE CITY HAS NOT ACHIEVED MANY OF ITS GOALS IT SET OUT FOR THE YEARS 1 AND 2 FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS AND PROGRESS. THAT'S JUST A FEW TNGS HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS REPORT. AND I'M GOING TO REREAD THE LAST PART I SAID OUT LOUD BECAUSE I

640
02:56:52.735 --> 02:57:10.085
HOPE PEOPLE HEAR IT AND HOW IT'S FRUSTRATING. THE CITY HAS NOT ACHIEVED MANY OF THE GOALS SET OUT FOR YEARS 1 AND TWO FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS. 1 AND 2. WE'RE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY TO

641
02:57:10.085 --> 02:57:25.634
HAVE SOME WORK ON POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY AND REFORM AND NOING IS HAPPENING. THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS ALSO SAID THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND MPD REMAIN FAR FROM ACHIEVING THE TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE NECESSARY TO THE ROOT CAUSES OF RACE-BASED POLICING AND POINTED

642
02:57:25.634 --> 02:57:42.718
TO MPD CONTINUING TO HAVE FLAWED ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS. STILL. AND WHERE IS MPD? IF THEY CAN COME IN THIS ROOM PLEASE TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS, THESE ARE NOT GOING TO BE JUST DIRECTED AT YOU. VICTIMS OF POLICE VIOLENCE AND

643
02:57:42.718 --> 02:57:59.335
NEIGHBORS DESERVE A LOT BETTER. WONDERING IF MPD OR THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION IS HERE TO ANSWER SOME OF MY QUESTIONS BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND IT'S GOING TO BE DIRECTED AT YOU OR THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION AND MPD AND EVERYBODY BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES WE HAVE YOU HERE IN THESE CHAMBERS

644
02:57:59.335 --> 02:58:14.416
TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE. FIRST, THE REPORT SAYS THERE ARE OBSERVATIONS THAT SOME INDIVIDUALS LACK AN APPRECIATION OF HOW THEIR WORK RELATES TO OTHER IMPLEMENTATION TASKS OR HOW OTHERS DEPEND ON THEIR WORK TO MEET THEIR IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITIES.

645
02:58:14.416 --> 02:58:31.433
IT ALSO APPEARS TO US THAT SOME INDIVIDUALS, AND THIS IS WHAT THE REPORT SAYS, WHO HAVE IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITIES DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR WK RELATES TO WHAT? WHATS BEING DONE TO ADDRESS THIS? IF YOU CAN ANSWER THIS, WHAT OVERSIG WE LEE FA

646
02:58:31.433 --> 02:58:50.019
ARE YOU DOING, IF MPD, IF SOMEONE CAN COME IN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MPD IS NOT IN THE REPORT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, I THINK Y ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. WE'RE HOPING TO GET A CONSISTENT STATUS REPORT ON THE REFORM WORK

647
02:58:50.019 --> 02:59:08.570
FROMMPD THEELVES AND THEY CAN REPORT TO THIS BODY. WE'RE WORKING ON THE KAY -- CADENCE, SORRY ABOUT THAT. >> MY QUESTIONS WERE PHRASING IT TOWARDS MPD WHO ARE FAILING TO

648
02:59:08.570 --> 02:59:24.420
ADDRESS AND MEET OUR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS, COMPLETELY. >> SO LET ME START WITH THIS. WE MET WITH MANY OF YOUR

649
02:59:24.420 --> 02:59:40.369
COLLEAGUES, WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU. SO AN OPEN INVITATION AND ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO FACITATE INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS OR APPEAR HERE REGULARLY. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT. A CENTRAL PART OF OUR ROLE IS TO GET THE WORD OUT AND IF

650
02:59:40.369 --> 02:59:56.752
THERE IS ANY PERCEPTION THAT WE'RE RELUCTANT TO DO THAT, LET ME CLARIFY. I APOLOZE FOR IT. WE'RE NOT ONLY HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU, WE'RE EAGER TO MEET WITH YOU. W WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS PROCESS.

651
02:59:56.752 --> 03:00:13.068
WITH RESPECT TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR REPORT AND THE FORCED RESIGNATION OF CHIEF O'HARA, TO BE CLEAR, WE GAVE THIS REPORT TO THE CITY, THE MAYOR, AND THE CHIEF, CHIEF O'HARA PRIOR TO HIS RENOMINATION

652
03:00:13.068 --> 03:00:28.883
AND PRIOR TO THE SCANDALS THAT LED TO HIS MISCONDUCT, I SHOULD SAY, THAT LED TO HIS FORCED RESIGNATION. IN FACT, PRIOR TO GIVING THEM THE REPORT, I MET WITH BOTH THE MAYOR AND THE CHIEF TO TELL THEM WHAT WE WOULD BE REPORTING. SO TO BE CLEAR, IT

653
03:00:28.883 --> 03:00:45.567
WASOT HIS FORCED RESIGNATION THAT TRIGGERED THIS REPORT BUT WE HAVE A CADENCE WE ISSUE TWO REPORTS A YEAR AND WHEN WE ISSUED THIS ONE, WE FULLY EXPECTED CHIEF O'HARA WOULD BE THE CHIEF.SO, THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT HIS DEPARTURE THAT ALTERED

654
03:00:45.567 --> 03:01:02.017
THE TIMING OR THE LANGUAGE IN OUR REPORT. AS TO THE DEFICIENCIES YOU JUST RETED, I THINK MY SHORT ANSWER, AT LEAST INITIALLY, IS THAT WE AGREE. WE

655
03:01:02.017 --> 03:01:19.568
RERTED THEM. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY. I CAN SAY THAT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES, BUT I DON'T THINK I'M THE RIGHT PERSON TO ADDRESS EVERYTHING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DONE OR WHAT THEIR PLANS

656
03:01:19.568 --> 03:01:36.585
ARE. >> I WANT TO BE CLEAR, I AM NOT SAYING THAT THE DEBACLE IS WHAT LED TO WHAT WAS IN THE REPORT. I'M SAYING THAT ELEFA MADE COMMENTS PUBLICLY AND DID NOT BRIEF COUNCIL. THERE WERE NO

657
03:01:36.585 --> 03:01:53.435
CONVERSATIONS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS PERTAINING TO WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PUBLICLY. I WANTED TO MENTION THAT. WHEN DID YOU GIVE THIS INFORMATION TO THE MAYOR? YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT. >> WE GAVE THE MAYOR THE REPORT AND THE CITY, I BELIEVE CHAIR

658
03:01:53.435 --> 03:02:11.286
WHITING AND COUNCILEMBER CHAVEZ ON MAY 11th AND PROBABLY PRIOR TO THAT, I HAD MET WITH THE CHIEF AND WITH THE MAYOR. >> SO YOU HAD ALREADY TALKED TO THE MAYOR IN A MEETING THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. >> YES. >> AND HE WAS STILL RENOMINATED?

659
03:02:11.286 --> 03:02:28.203
OKAY THANK YOU. >> CAN I ALSO, I WANTED TO ADDRES-- I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENT. GENERALLY I DON'T TALK TO THE MEDIA. I AM NOT AUTHORIZED TO TALK TO THE MEDIA UNLESS THE PARTIES GIVE THEIR

660
03:02:28.203 --> 03:02:44.453
CONSENT. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WILL ONLY LEARN ABOUT OUR WORK THROUGH THE MEDIA. SO, WHILE WE DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS OR PRESENT OUR WORK THROUGH THE MEDIA, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE PARTIES HAVE ALLOWED US TO SPEAK TO THE MAYOR AND THE RESIGNATION OF

661
03:02:44.453 --> 03:03:03.238
CHIEF O'HARA WAS ONE OF THOSE TIMES BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A MATTER OF PUBLIC CONCERN AND WE COULD SEE THE NARRATIVE ABOUT WHAT DID THE MONIT KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT AND WHEN ONLY REAL STATEMENT I MADE ABOUT

662
03:03:03.238 --> 03:03:21.723
THE CHIEF. I USED THE WORD NON-ALLY. I WILL SAY AND I SAID IT, JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT, THE QUESTION WAS MOVING FORWARD, WILL PROGRESS BE MADE? IAS SAYING THAT YES, THERE ARE A T OF PEOPLE WORKING VERY HARD TO IMPLEMENT THIS AGREEMENT IS WHAT WE SAID IN OUR REPORT. I

663
03:03:21.723 --> 03:03:38.072
SAID, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CHIEF O'HARA WAS NOT ALWAYS AN ALLY. IT WAS ONLY THAT LATER PIECE I RECALL THAT WAS REALLY QUOTED, WHICH LED MANY PEOPLEO THINK I WAS MAKING A BROADER STATEMENT THAN IAD INTENDED. TO BE

664
03:03:38.072 --> 03:03:53.956
CLEAR, IT IS TRUE. LOOK AT THE CRITICISMS IN OUR REPORT. THOSE FALL DIRECTLY AT THE FEET OF THE CHIEF. IT WOULD BE UNFAIR TO SAY HE DIDN'T CONTRIBUTE AT ALL TO THE PROCESS. MANY OF THE CHANGES THAT HAPPENED HAPPENED UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP AND HE MADE SOME

665
03:03:53.956 --> 03:04:10.672
CHANGES EVEN BEFORE OUR ARRIVAL. SO, IT IS FAIR TO SAYE WAS NOT ALWAYS AN ALLY IN THE PROCESS, IT WAS TOO STRONG TO SAY HE WAS NEVER AN ALLY IN THE PROCESS, AND TO YOUR BROADER CONCERN UNDERLYING YOUR QUESTION, WE

666
03:04:10.672 --> 03:04:27.556
GENERALL SPEAK THROUGH OUR REPORTS AND OUR PUBLIC MEETINGS, WE DON'T DO IT THROUGH THE MEDIA. SO WE DON'T MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENTS TO THE MEDIA. YOU WILL NOT LEARN OF OUR WORK THROUGH THAT CHANNEL. >> THANK YOU. THE REPORT SAYS

667
03:04:27.556 --> 03:04:44.206
THERE ARE OBSERVATIONS THAT SOME INDIVIDUALS LACK AN APPRECIATION OF HOW THEIR WOR RELATES TO OTHER IMPLEMENTATION TASKS OR OTHERS DEND ON THE WORK TO MEET THE IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITIES. IT APPEARS TO US THAT SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE IMPLEMENTATION

668
03:04:44.206 --> 03:05:01.256
RESPONSIBILITIES DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR WORK RELATES TO THE AGREEMENT OVERALL. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONEO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN? THAT IS OUTLINED IN THE REPORT. >>HAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MBER CHAVEZ, I HAVE SOME SENSE THAT THE CITY AND THE DEPARTMENT ARE

669
03:05:01.256 --> 03:05:19.041
WORKING TO TIE MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER THE WORK DONE BY THE VARIOUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT. I DON'T REALLY KNOW THE DETAILS OF THAT AND I SHOULD SAY THAT, OUR REPORT IS FAIRLYRECENT, S I THINK THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON

670
03:05:19.041 --> 03:05:36.225
TH. OTHER THAN MY SENSE OF THE MEETINGS WE HAD, FOR EXAMPLE, IN GETTING READY FOR A VALUATION PLAN, WHEN WE LOOKED BACK AT THE PLAN FOR YEAR 1 AND 2, YOU'RE RIGHT. MANY OF THE GOALS WERE NOT MET. A BIG PART OF THAT

671
03:05:36.225 --> 03:05:51.640
UNREALISTIC. I THINK THE CITY DIDN'T APPRECIATE AT THE TIME. MOST CITIES HAVE NOT BEEN THROUGH THIS, SO THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW HARD ITOULD BE TO REVISE POLICIES AND HOW LONG THE PROCESS WOULD TAKE, AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT FRUSTRATE TIMETABLES. SO, IN PREPARING FOR

672
03:05:51.640 --> 03:06:08.290
THIS PLAN, WE SAT DOWN WIT THEM AND WE WENT THROUGH THEIR TIMETABLES AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THEM AND THEY WORKED TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE MUCH MORE REALISTIC. SO OUR TIMELINE WILL

673
03:06:08.290 --> 03:06:25.340
BE MORE RELIABLE THAN THE TIMELINE SET FORTHN THE INITIAL PLAN. SO T THAT SENSE, I HAVE A SENSE THAT THEY TAKEN STEPS TO BETTER ALIGN PERSONNEL WITH THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE KNOW WHAT

674
03:06:25.340 --> 03:06:41.890
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. I DON'T HAVE A VERY GRANULAR. >> THE REPORT SHOWS NO MEANINGFUL PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE UNDER THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS BACKLOG. MPD HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS FOR YEARS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAD SPECIFILLY CHANGED IN

675
03:06:41.890 --> 03:07:01.710
MPD'S APPROACH AND WHY WE AS CONSTITUENTS SHOULD EXPECT A WHAT IS THE CHANGE THAT WILL SS HAPPEN AS A RESULT? WE KNOW THAT A LACK OF PROGRESS IN THIS IS A LACK OF JUSTICE. >> I KNOW SOME OF THE CHANGES.

676
03:07:01.710 --> 03:07:18.526
SO FIRST, THE LIEUTENANT THAT IS INVOLVED IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS. SO FAR, I AM IMPRESSED OF HIS ASSESSMENT OF THE PBLEMS AND THE NEED FOR CHAN. IN FACT, TO RESTORE SOME SYSTEMS THAT WERE IN PLACE WHEN HE WAS IN CHARGE

677
03:07:18.526 --> 03:07:33.508
AN THAT LAPSED WHEN HE MOVED. SO THAT IS AN ENCOURAGING SIGN. AS I MENONED EARLIER, I BELIEVE THEY HAVE ASKED US FOR TECHNICA ASSISTANCE TO LOOK AT THEIR STAFFING, THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS UNIT IS UNDERRESOURCED.

678
03:07:33.508 --> 03:07:51.360
SO, WE ARE PROVIDING ADVICE THERE. I HAD SOME INITIAL MEETINGS, SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO AUGNT THE PERSONNEL. >> THEY HAVE A PLAN TO ELIMINATE THE BACKLOG BY 2026 BUT SET NO DEADLINES. DO YOU KNOW WHY THAT IS THE CASE? HAS MPD COMMITTED

679
03:07:51.360 --> 03:08:10.145
TO SPECIFIC MILESTONES AS OF TODAY? >> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBE CHAVEZ, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THAT WAS THE CASE. I HAVE NOT SEE A NEW PLAN. I BELIEVE ONE MAY BE IN THE WORKS. >> THE EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM

680
03:08:10.145 --> 03:08:25.393
REQUIREMENT OF PROGRESS UNDER THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROCESS HAS STALLED DUE TO MANAGEMENT WEAKNESS AND PERSONNEL TURNOVER. WHAT IS THE CURRENT TIMELINE TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS? >> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, I BELIEVE THE FORMER

681
03:08:25.393 --> 03:08:41.142
CHIEF WAS MT DIRECTLY ACCOUNTABLE, FOR HE MADE THE PERSONAL ASSIGNMENTS. H ALLOWED OR MADE THE TRANSFERS AND THINGS OF THE PERSONAL TURNOVER.

682
03:08:41.142 --> 03:08:59.594
>> ON POLICY AND TRAINING DEVELOPMENT, FLAGGED ACRS MULTIPLE REPORTS NOW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS UNEVENNESS THAT IS FRUSTRATING TO OUR CONSTITUENTS? IT'S INDICATED IN YOUR REPORT. >> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ,O LOOKING BACK OVER THE

683
03:08:59.594 --> 03:09:15.544
TWO YEARS, INHE FIRST YEAR, WE WORKED HAR WITH THE CITY TO SORT OF RESTRUCTURE AND REALIGN HOWHE POLICY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WORKED. THE POLICY VELOPMENT PROCESS REQUIRES MPD TO DEVELOP A POLICY THAT MEETS THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT'S TERMS

684
03:09:15.544 --> 03:09:30.458
AND THEN TO WORK WITH OR COLLABORATE WITH US AND WITH MDHR TO ENSURE THAT T POLICY MEETS THE AGREEMENT'S REQUIREMT. THAT IS A LONG, HARD PROCESS. WHAT WE OFTEN

685
03:09:30.458 --> 03:09:47.609
FOUND WAS THE QUALITY -- IN THE FIRST YEAR, WE PARTICULARLY FOUND THA THE QUALITY OF DRAFT POLICIES THAT CAME TO US WERE NOT WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I THINK CANDIDLY IN THE MEETINGS WITH THE PARTY, THERE WERE INEFFICIENCIES, A LOT OF THINGS WENT BACK AND FORTH. YOU KNOW,

686
03:09:47.609 --> 03:10:04.592
WE WOULD GET DOCUMENTS THAT HAD EXTENSIVE 20 PAGES OF JUST RED LINES THAT YOU ARE SLOGGING THROUGH. THERE WERE HARD TIMES HEDULING MEETINGS. WE REALLY WORKED HARD TO ADDRESS THOSE. I THINK WE MADE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT PROCESS. I HOPE WE WILL SEE THE FRUITS OF

687
03:10:04.592 --> 03:10:22.677
THOSE LABORS IN THE COMING TWO YEARS. >> THEY SAID THAT THE CITY REMAINS FAR FROM TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE TO ADDRESS ROOT CAUSES OF RACE-BASED POLICING. WHAT IS THE PLAN OF ACTION TO ADDRESS THAT?

688
03:10:22.677 --> 03:10:37.124
>> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS A MEANS TO AN END. THE MDHR AGEMENT, THE INVESTIGATIVE FINDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO GET TO RACE-BASED POLICING. >> CAN YOU REPEAT THAT AGAIN? I MISSED IT.

689
03:10:37.124 --> 03:10:53.641
>> THE OVERALL GOAL, I THINK AND INTENT OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS TO ELIMINATE RACE-BASED POLICING. HOW WE DO THAT IS THROUGH POLICIES, TRAINING, SUPERVISION, AND ACCOUNTABILITY. YOU KNOW, THOSE

690
03:10:53.641 --> 03:11:09.991
SUPPORTIVE TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS. SO, LET ME GIV YOU AN EXAMPLE IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RACE-BASED POLICING. WHAT WE WANT TO FIRST MAKE SURE IS THAT THERE IS REASONABLE SUSPION FOR A STOP. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE POLICY IS FOLLOWED SO THAT WHEN WE AUDIT A DO EVERY STOP,

691
03:11:09.991 --> 03:11:26.107
WE CAN LOOK TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY ENCOUNTER FOLLOWS IS POLICIES. THE THERE WILL BE THE MUCH MORE CHALLENGING JOB OF LOOKING AT DISPARITIES, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX AREAS IN POLICING. SO, THE WAY WE GET TO THE END OF ELIMINATING

692
03:11:26.107 --> 03:11:40.188
RACE-BASED POLICING IS THROUGH THE MEANS OF THE RIGHT POLICIES, THE RIGHT TRAINING, AND THE RIGHT ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS. >> THE SEMI-ANNUAL REVIEW FROM

693
03:11:40.188 --> 03:11:55.303
THE MDHR DOCUMENTED IN ITS APRIL 22, 2022, FINDINGS THAT THE CITY AND MPD HAVE FLAWED ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS, THEY ARE DELAYED OR OPAQUE. THIS IS CONCERNING. WHAT IS BEING DONE

694
03:11:55.303 --> 03:12:13.888
ABOUT IT? AGAIN, THAT WAS YEARS AGO. >> I AGREE. WE WERE VERY POINTED IN O REPORT. THATYSTEM IS BROKEN. IT REMAINS BROKEN. WE'RE

695
03:12:13.888 --> 03:12:31.639
WORKING TO FIX IT. THERE IS A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE CULTURE OF THE DEPARTMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. >> THAT'S THE HONEST. I'M WAITING FORLEFA TO BE PUBLIC ABOUT IT. I HOPE THAT ELEFA IS WORKING TO REBUILD TRUST WITH TH COMMUNITY. I THINK THE

696
03:12:31.639 --> 03:12:47.755
CONSTITUENTS THAT I REPRESENT ARE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH ELEFA AND HOW FORTHCOMING THEY HAVE BEEN WITH INFORMATION, ABOUT THE PROGRESS WE HAVE DONE AS A CITY. IT'SERY CLEAR THAT WE ARE FAILING TO ADDRESS AND MEET THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE. WHEN WE ARE FAILING TO

697
03:12:47.755 --> 03:13:04.505
MEET OUR GOALS FOR YEAR ONE AND YEAR TWO, AND WE'RE IN 2026, THAT IS A DEEP CONCERN. I THINK ETHER MPD WAS INVITED TO THIS MEETING OR NOT, THE FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE PERSON FROM MPD OR THE CITY ADMINISTRATION IN THIS ROOM TO HEAR T

698
03:13:04.505 --> 03:13:20.955
QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE AS COUNCIL MEMBERS, TO HEAR THE CONCERNS WE HAVE AS COUNCIL MEMBERS IS CONCERNING. I REPRESENT THE AREA WHERE GEORGE OYD WAS MURDERED. MY CONSTITUENTS HAVE MANY CONCERNS THAT YOU KNOW, DECADES LONG OF POLICE VIOLENCE THAT HAVE BEEN FORCED UPON THE PEOPLE I

699
03:13:20.955 --> 03:13:36.804
REPRESENT PROUDLY. WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS A LACK OF, MY OPINION, COMPLIANCE WITH THE SETTLEMENT MEETING YEARS ONE AND TWO GOALS, THAT SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. IT IS DISAPPOINTING THAT THE

700
03:13:36.804 --> 03:13:52.754
ADMINISTRATION OR MPD IS NOT WILLING TO BE IN THIS MEETING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS I HAVE ABOUT HOW WE'RE FAILING TO MEET THE COMMITMENTSOR POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY. I WANTED TO EXPRESS THAT TODAY AND I HOPE ELEFA DOE THE WORK TO REBUILD

701
03:13:52.754 --> 03:14:09.570
TRUST, AT LEAST I WILL SPEAK FOR MY CONSTITUENTS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ AND I WOULD NOTE TOO -- LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A FEW DROP OFF HERE AS WELL. WE ONLY HAV FOUR SPEAKERS LEFT. I THINK WE HAVE CAPTIONING UNTIL 5:30, SO

702
03:14:09.570 --> 03:14:25.553
JUST HAVING THAT MINDFUL FOR COLL COLLEAGUES. COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU CHAIRND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. MY QUESTION, JUST A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR TO MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT

703
03:14:25.553 --> 03:14:40.334
THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMPLAINT BUT I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE PRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO WHAT IS BEING DONE IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT OFFICERS THAT ARE COMING TO WOR FOR OUR DEPARTMENT DO NOT HAVE A NUMBER

704
03:14:40.334 --> 03:14:56.784
OF INFRACTIONS IN THEIR SIDE SHIELD WHE BEING EMPLOYED WITH OUR POLICE DEPTMENT HERE. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT? >> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, THAT'S NOT AN AREA I CAN SPEAK TO. IT'S NOT WITHIN THE

705
03:14:56.784 --> 03:15:12.266
SCOPE OF OUR WORK. IT'S AN IMPORTANT QUESTION AND IT'S GOING TO GO TO CHANGES AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE RECRUITMENT AND HIRING PROCESS IS NOTITHIN THE SCOPE OF OUR WORK.

706
03:15:12.266 --> 03:15:31.686
>> SO THAT IS IN THE PURVIEW OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS BEING DISCUSSED? IS THA SOMETHING THAT IS WRITTEN INTO THE PLAN, WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT -- BECAUSE I THINK THAT TWO THINGS

707
03:15:31.686 --> 03:15:47.602
CAN BE TRUE. SOME ARE TRAINING DEFICIENCIES AND SOME ARE LEARNED HAVIOR AND BEHAVIOR PRACTICES, RIGHT? SO IF YOU HAVE DIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN

708
03:15:47.602 --> 03:16:05.787
REMOVED OR ASKED TO LEAVE FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE WHAT WE HAD IN THIS SITUATION HERE. DOES THAT OFFICER HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE RWARD, RETRANSFER TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT ACCEPTS HIM, DOESN'T SEE WHAT WAS IN HIS SIDE SHLD. NOW

709
03:16:05.787 --> 03:16:23.170
WE INHERIT A PROBLEM WIT SOMEONE WHO MAY NOT BE, YOU KNOW, ABREAST TO THE CULTURE AND THELIMATE THAT WE ARE DILIGENTLY WORKING SO HARD TO DEVELOP AND ACHIEVE HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS OF

710
03:16:23.170 --> 03:16:40.054
INTEGERABLE OFFICERS THAT NOW WE GOT SOMEBODY WHO IS NOT FM HERE, DOESN'T KNOW HERE, AND IS BRINGING A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF LAWLESSNESS HERE THAT WOULD IN TURN ADD TO THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS

711
03:16:40.054 --> 03:16:57.772
COMPLAINTS WE HAVE. I WANT TO NIP THE -- I WANT TO DO AN INTERVENTION, RIGHT? WHERE WE DOT HAVE THOSE TYPES OF THINGS BEING INDOCTRINATED INTO OUR SYSTEMS HERE. >> SO CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL

712
03:16:57.772 --> 03:17:14.655
IT'S NOT WITHIN OUR PURVIEW TO LOOK AT THE RECRUITMENT AS A GENERA MATTER, YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. THE DEPARTMENT SHOULD NOT BE HIRING OFFICERS THAT HAVE MEANINGFUL INFRACTIONS IN OTHER SCREEN FOR THOSE AND NOT HIRE THOSE PEOPLE. ON THE NARROW

713
03:17:14.655 --> 03:17:29.736
QUESTION OF OUR ROLE IN THAT IT'S NOT WITHIN OUR PURVIEW, BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT POINT. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT'S IN THE CONSENT DECREE THAT THE MAYOR

714
03:17:29.736 --> 03:17:46.287
HAS COMMITTED TO IMPLEMENTING, BUT WE'RE NOT YET WORKING ON THAT. SO, IF IT'S THERE, IT'S NOT COMING FROM MY MIND. I ALSO WANTED TO ADDSS OTHER POINTS YOU MADE ABOUT TRAININGND I

715
03:17:46.287 --> 03:18:03.104
WANT TO TALK ABOUT CULTURE. SO I WANT TO IMPROVE THE CUURE. A GOOD CULTURE WEEDS OUT BAD ACTORS. A BAD CULTURE AMPLIFIES BAD ACRS. WHEN YOU GET THE RIGHT CULTURE, YOU WILL WEED OUT THE PEOPLE CAUGHT IN TRAING OR

716
03:18:03.104 --> 03:18:17.585
CAUGHT IN THE FIELD TRAINING OFCER PIECE OF THEIR TRAINING, AND EACH ARE IN OUR PURVIEW. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED IS THE FIELD OFFICER AINING, OPERATING PROCEDURES.

717
03:18:17.585 --> 03:18:36.270
SO THAT THOSE INSTITUTIONAL CHANGES WILL IN PART ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF BAD OFFICERS COMING INTO THE DEPARTMENT >> UH-HUH. AND NOW WE WANT TO TREAD LIGHTLY ONTHAT. THAT'S

718
03:18:36.270 --> 03:18:54.155
KIND OF A MURKY WATER. WE KNOW DEREK CHAUVIN WAS A FIE TRNING OFFICER. COME ON NOW. >> WE DO INDEED. >> THAT WATER IS A LITTLE MURKY. >> THAT'S WHY IT HAS TO CHANGE. >> RIGHT. SO IN ENSURING THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ELEVATED TO

719
03:18:54.155 --> 03:19:09.270
POSITIONS OF DIRECT INSTRUCTION AND LEADERSHIP, RIGHT? IF THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FRACTIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED, THAT ARE ALLEGATIONS, AS WE ARE

720
03:19:09.270 --> 03:19:26.020
SITTING WITH ALL OF THESE, OVER 300-PLUS INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN EFFECTIVELY RESPONDED TO, WHICH I AM HOPING THAT WE DO OBTAIN SOMEONE WHO IS A VERY DEDICATED AND COMMITTED INTERNAL AFFAIRS

721
03:19:26.020 --> 03:19:42.670
INVESTIGATOR THAT HAS THE PRIVILEGE OF SITTING WITH THE DEPARTMENT MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS. I'M HOPING THAT WILL BE THE CASE HERE SO THAT WE CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF SOME OF THESE ISSUES BECAUSE THEN THAT NCERNS ME. IF THERE ARE NO

722
03:19:42.670 --> 03:19:59.753
DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL WHO HAVE CARRIED OUT, YOU KNOW, SOME BEHAVIO THAT HAVE AWARDED COMPLAINTS, THEN PEOPLE THINK THEY SKATED BY THE SYSTEM, RIGHT? SO, NO ONE SAW ME DO IT I HID MY HAND. LET

723
03:19:59.753 --> 03:20:15.269
ME TRY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. WE DON'T WANT MORE OF THE SAME. WE JUST REALLY WANT BETTER FOR PEOPLE AND I WANT TO SEE PEOPLE WIN AND BE GREAT.HANK YOU FOR THAT. I REALLY HOPE THAT WE CAN WRITE SOMETHING IN AND ENSURE THAT OFFICERS THAT ARE COMING TO

724
03:20:15.269 --> 03:20:31.719
US FROM OTHER PLACES, YOU KNOW, LIKE 13 COLONIES AND EVERYWHERE ELSE, THAT WE ARE GETTING WHAT WE NEED AND THEY DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF BACK BURNERED BEHAVIORS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER

725
03:20:31.719 --> 03:20:50.071
WARREN AND TO YOUR POINT, AS DIRECTOR DOUG NOTICED, THE HIRING PIECE IS IN NOT IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMEN THERE ARE A FEW PARAGRAPHS ABOUT THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLE I WOULD NOTE TOO COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF YOU

726
03:20:50.071 --> 03:21:06.520
NEED TO TAKE OFF, WE'RE ON THE VERGE OF LOSING QUORUM HERE. >> THANK YOU CHAIR WHITING. A FEW OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE HIGHLIGHTED A FEW OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO COMMENT ON. IT'S BEEN A FRUSTRATION. A NUMBER OF US HAVE SPOKEN AT LENGTH,

727
03:21:06.520 --> 03:21:26.273
ESPECIALLY LAST TERM AROUND EL ELEFA'S HANDLING OF LACK OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PUBLIC, WITH THE LACK OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THIS AND FIGHT WITH WORKING WITH COUNSEL PRESIDENT PAYNE LAST SCHEDULED FOR ELEFA TO COME BEFORE THIS BODY. WE HAD A

728
03:21:26.273 --> 03:21:42.223
NUMBER OF CONCERNS BASED OFF THE PROGRESS REPORT AND HOW THINGS WERE HANDLED. SO, I AM HAPPY THAT WE'RE FINALLY ABLE TO HAVE A PRESENTATION. THIS CHAMBER IS FOLLOWING THE SECOND PROGRESS REPORT YOU DID THIS YEAR THUS FAR. I DO WANT TO ECHO THE SENTIMENTS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER

729
03:21:42.223 --> 03:21:59.240
CHAVEZ HAS RAISED IN MY STAFF ATTENDED ONE OF THE RECENT COMMUNITY MEETINGS WHERE THE FRUSTRATIONS WERE LOUDLY EXPRESSED AS WELL AND YOU MADE NOTE OF THAT. I ALSO WANT TO ECHO INTERIM AFFAIRS. --

730
03:21:59.240 --> 03:22:14.655
INTERNAL AFFAIRS. THE DYSFUNCTIONAL INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISI SIGNALS TO OTHER OFFICERS, EXISTING OFFICERS WITHIN THE DERTMENT, PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO WORK HERE, THAT MISCONDUCT CAN BE

731
03:22:14.655 --> 03:22:30.938
TOLERATED. THERE IS NO FORMAL PROCESSES OF ACCOUNTABILITY TO HANDLE THOSE THINGS WHENHEY COME UP. THE FACT THAT IT LEADS TO A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WHO DO WANT TO COME FORRD AND I WANT TO KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN SUED WHEN

732
03:22:30.938 --> 03:22:48.555
WE HAD OFFERS COME FORWARD IN THE PAST. THEY FACED RETALIATION FOR DOING SO TO HOLD THEIR FELLOW OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE, HAVING A DYSFUNCTIONAL IA LED US TO HAVE A CULTURE WHERE WE'RE IN

733
03:22:48.555 --> 03:23:03.971
A PREDICENT OF VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF BLACK AND INDIGENOUS RESIDENTS. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT THE CITY SHARED AS THEIR RATIONAL FOR WHY NO CORRECTIVE ACON WAS TAKEN, EVEN AFTER

734
03:23:03.971 --> 03:23:21.121
YOUR FIRST REPORT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN DETAILED IN MULTIPLE REPORTS NOW. SO WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT WAS THE CITY'S RATIONAL FOR NOT TAKING MORE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION ON THAT. >> CHAIR WHITING AND COUNCIL

735
03:23:21.121 --> 03:23:37.271
MEMBER WONSLEY, FIRST LET ME TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE OF APPEARING BEFORE THE COUNCIL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE SOURCEF THAT MISCOMMUNICATION OR MISPERCEPTION. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WILLING TO MEET, MAYBE

736
03:23:37.271 --> 03:23:54.121
ATTRIBUTING IT TO WE'RE NOT FROM HERE AND NOT KNOWING HOW IT WORKS. WE'VE APPEAD EVERY TIME WE HAVE BEEN ASKED, WE NOTIFIED THE COUNCIL, AND WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WILLING TO COME AND I'M

737
03:23:54.121 --> 03:24:11.205
GLAD WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY. NOW WE ALSO OFFERED TO MEET INDIVIDUALS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. LET ME BE CLEAR GOING FORWARD, WE ARE EAGER TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE COUNCIL AND ALL OF YOU AND

738
03:24:11.205 --> 03:24:28.722
THE COMMUNITY. IN TERMS OF THE LACK OF PROGRS IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS, WHEN I SPOKE WITH CHIEF O'HARA ABOUT THESE ISSUES, IT WAS T EXPLANATIONS WERE

739
03:24:28.722 --> 03:24:43.404
ATTRIBUTED, I THINK THERE WERE THREE. SOME WERE THAT HE DID BRING IN PEOPLE IN THE HOPES THAT THEY WILL IMPROVE THE SITUATION. THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT AND I DON'T THINK IT'S ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE INDIVIDUALS.

740
03:24:43.404 --> 03:25:00.554
IT WAS THE CULTURE. THE CHIEF EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT PERSONNEL, HAVING THE PEOPLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE HE WAS VERY FOCUSED ON CRIME FIGHTING AND R

741
03:25:00.554 --> 03:25:16.903
ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND I TOLD THEM IT'S APPLES AND ORANGES IN OUR VIEWS WHEN IT COMES TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATIONS AND OFFICS ON THE STREET. IN ANY EVENT, YOU CAN'T SACRIFICE ONE FOR THE OTHER. THAT'S THE

742
03:25:16.903 --> 03:25:33.320
CHALLENGE TO GET BOTH OF THOSE THINGS DONE. HE DISCUSSED MORALE AND MAKING THESE CHANGES ON

743
03:25:33.320 --> 03:25:55.242
MORALE, WHICH IS NOT DEFENSIVABLE CANDIDLY. SO I THIS WITH THE PERSONAL CHANGES, WHEN THEY HAPPENED, THISS THE SOLUTION. NOW THINGS WILL GET

744
03:25:55.242 --> 03:26:10.257
BETTER. >> THANK YOU, I AM TRYING TO SPEED THROUGH SOME OF THE REST OF MY QUESTIONS. THERE ARE FEW FOLKS IN QUEUE. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE DEADLINE WE HAVE FOR WHEN WE HAVE CLOSED CAPTIONERS

745
03:26:10.257 --> 03:26:26.439
UNTIL 5:30. THE NEXT QUESTION, AS YOU HIGHLIGHTED, THIS BODY HAD EXTENSIVE DEBATE AROUND THE LLNESS, COMMUNITY SAFETY AND LLNESS CENTER, AND OFTEN TIMES WE LEARNED THAT ELEFA WAS USED AS A PLACE TO SAY THIS WAS

746
03:26:26.439 --> 03:26:43.991
MANDATED. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THE COMMENTS YOUSKED FOR ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION. FIRST, ANYWHERE IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRES US TO PURCHASE, IN THIS CASE THE CITY WAS SEEKING A $40 MILLION

747
03:26:43.991 --> 03:26:59.874
SETTLEMENT. DO WE HAVE TO PURCHASE A WHOLE NEW FACILITY? >> NO, IT'S NOT PRESCRIBED IN THE SETTLEMENT. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT WAS NOT OFTEN COMMUNICATED ACCURATELY FROM THE CITY. IN YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON PAGE 8, I BELIEVE, WHERE YOU SAID WE

748
03:26:59.874 --> 03:27:16.023
SHOULD MAINTAIN THIS AS PRIORITY, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT OR FROM MYNDERSTANDING HOW WE CAN RELATE TO YOU, CAN THE CITY ALSO BRING YOU MODIFIED FACILITY

749
03:27:16.023 --> 03:27:32.373
PLANS THAT ADDRESSES THE EXPLICIT NEEDS OF ITS OFFICERS. >> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, THE CITY'S OBLIGATIONS TO MEET

750
03:27:32.373 --> 03:27:49.656
THE TERMS OF THE SETTLENT AGREEMENT. SO, YES. I AM NOT -- I WOULDN'T SUGGEST THAT THE TRAINING CENTER IS NECESRILY THE ONLY WAY, BUT TO BE CAID, I AM NOT SURE BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW, THAT I AM AWARE OF OTHER

751
03:27:49.656 --> 03:28:06.206
GOOD OPTIONS. THEYAY BE OUT THERE. SO, YES, IF THE CITY HAS AN ALTERNATIVE THAT FULFILLS THE REQUIREMENTS OFHE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. >> SOE CAN BRING AN ALTERNATIVE. IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, IT DOES NOT RUIRE

752
03:28:06.206 --> 03:28:22.523
US ACQUIRING A NEW FACILITY IN ITSELF. >> IT DOE NOT, BUT IT DOES DESCRIBE AN ASSESSMENT BEING DONE AS TO THE BEST WAY TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT. THA IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ASSESSMEN

753
03:28:22.523 --> 03:28:37.638
>> THE ASSESSMENT THAT THE CITY PROVIDED THE ASSESSMENT THA THE CITY EXECUTED PER THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. YOU GHLIGHTED THAT. THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRES THAT WE DO A

754
03:28:37.638 --> 03:28:52.419
FAC FACILITIES REQUIREMENT. WE CAN ALSO SAY GIVE US ADDITIONAL OPT FOLLOWED THE COMMUNITY'S SAFETY PROCESS. WHAT WE HEARD WAS THIS IS GOINGO GIVE OFFICERS MASSAGE ROOMS. THIS IS GOING TO

755
03:28:52.419 --> 03:29:08.902
GIVE OFFICERS SIMULATIONS AND IT DID NOT CONNE EXPLICITLY TO WHAT ARE THE HOURS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN OUR CURRE CONSENT DECREE, WHAT TRAINING OR ADHERED TO. SO IT WAS TO BE ESSENTIALLY A BLANKET CANVAS AS

756
03:29:08.902 --> 03:29:24.985
OPPOSED TO ACTUALLY OUTLINING WHAT WAS CREDIBLY NEEDED.O WHAT I WANT TO GET AT IS THAT YOU HIGHLIGHT THIS, ALTERNATIVE PROPOSALS COULD BE BROUGHT FORWARD FOR CONSIDERATION, IN ORDER TO MEET THE NEEDS O OUR FACILITY'S IMPROVEMENTS.

757
03:29:24.985 --> 03:29:42.069
>> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, YES. >> OKAY, NEXT PIECE, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ HIGHLIGHTED THIS. WHAT IS VERY JARRING ABOUT THIS REPORT IS INITIALLY THE VERY FIRST REPORT THAT WE SAW IN THAT

758
03:29:42.069 --> 03:30:00.988
WAS COMPLETELY REITERATE IN MULTIPLE PRESS RELEASES AND NEWS ARTICLES IS WHEN YOU SHARED THAT IT'S FURTHER AHE IN THIS FIRST YEAR THAN ANY OTHER CITY WE ARE AWAROF, THAT WAS ELEFA'S COMMENTS AND THIS REPORT SAYING

759
03:30:00.988 --> 03:30:17.504
THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND THE MINNESOTA POLICE DEPARTMENT REMAIN FAR FROM ACHIEVING THE TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF RACE-BASED POLICING. I THINK THAT SIGNALS ALSO FOR A LOT OF THE FRUSTRATION THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN HEARING, WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR OR A YEAR AND A HALF, HOW DID WE GO

760
03:30:17.504 --> 03:30:38.091
FROM THAT'S TO THIS. HOW DID ELEFA SEE THESE THINGS FALL SHORT? SO YOU MENTIONED QUALITATIVE METRICS AS BEING T DETERMINATION OF HOW TO ISSUE PROGRESS. CAN YOU SPECIFY A LITTLE B MOR OF WHAT THAT

761
03:30:38.091 --> 03:30:55.742
METRICS THAT YOU ARE EMPLOYING. >> CHAIR WHITING AND COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, IT'S N JUST QUALITATIVE MEASURES. THERE ARE QUANTITATIVE MSURES AS WELL. THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT SAYS HOWEVER WE N'T MEASURE COMPLIANCE, SURELY QUANTITATIVE

762
03:30:55.742 --> 03:31:12.726
BY A PERCENTAGE.HAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. SO, IT'S LESS ESCRIPTIVE. I WOULDN'T SAY NUMBER OF POLICIESAPPROVED. E THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT WE WILL CERTAINLY LOOK AT WHEN WE DO AUDITS. WE WILL LOOK A

763
03:31:12.726 --> 03:31:28.475
PERCENTAGES THAT MAY NOT DRIVE THE FINAL COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION, JUSTO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. IF YOU TRAIN 95% OF OFFICERS IN USE OF FORCE, YOU SAY 95% IS PRETTY GOOD. IF YOU HAVE 5% OF OFFICERS ON THE

764
03:31:28.475 --> 03:31:43.857
STREETS THAT ARE NEVER TRAINED, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THERE ARE 5% THAT HAVE BEEN ON VACATION, LEFT T DEPARTMENT, ARE NEW. SO YOU WOULD LOOK AT THE REASONS FOR THAT UNTRAINED PERCENTAGE, WHATEVER IT IS, AND YOU WOULD

765
03:31:43.857 --> 03:32:00.440
LOOK AT WHAT CORRECTIVE ACTION IS THE CITY TAKING TO MAKE SURE THAT ULTIMATELYLL OFFICERS ARE APPROPRIATELY TRAINED IN U OF FORCE. IN A DIFFERENT AREA, SOME LIKE STOP, SEARCH, AND ARREST OFFICERS, THESE CONCEPTS GET GUE WHEN YOU'RE STOPPING A CAR

766
03:32:00.440 --> 03:32:16.290
AND YOU GET MANY OFFICERS DOING THAT. THEN YOU MIGHT REALLY BE VERY HARD TO GET 90% COMPLIANCE ON WT A PAT DOWN, VERSUS AN ARREST SEARCH INCIDENT TO

767
03:32:16.290 --> 03:32:31.905
ARREST. THAT'S THE THING WE SEE. SO YOU GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE GRACE. I'M NOT SURE THERES ANY DEPARTMENT IN THE COUNTRY THAT OFFICERS GET THAT RIGHT 90% OF THE TIME. SO, THAT IS WHAT I WAS SAYING. IT HAS TO BE CONTEXT SPECIFIC. LET ME JUST SAY

768
03:32:31.905 --> 03:32:48.088
BRIEFLY ON THE ARK, OUR JOB IS TOEVALUATE AND SHARE WHAT WE FOUND. MINNESOTA WAS OFF TO A GOOD START, THEY WERE ORGANID, THEY HAD A PLAN. AS WE REPORTED

769
03:32:48.088 --> 03:33:04.271
OVER THE SUBSEQUENT REPORTS, PARTICULAR IN THE ISSUES OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS, THAT DETER DETERIORED. THAT WAS PRESENT IN THE SLIDE. WE WERE DOCUMENTING THIS PROCESS ALL ALONG THE WAY. IT'S NOT AS IF WE SAID SOMETHING IN YEAR ONE AND

770
03:33:04.271 --> 03:33:21.288
PIVOTED TO SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN YEAR TWO. WE DID REPORT THE PATH ALONG THE WAY. >> YEAH, I THINK IT'S THE RAPID DETERIORATION OF WHAT WAS PERCEIVED AS A STRONG START

771
03:33:21.288 --> 03:33:36.303
LEADING TO THE NEXT PIECE THAT YOU HIGHLIGHTED IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF ONE, THAT HINDRANCES YOUR SCENE, IS THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN CLEAR SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY AND REPORTING ESTABLISHED ALONG WITH STANDING MEETINGS FOR ALL THOSE

772
03:33:36.303 --> 03:33:53.786
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WORK. I THINK THAT WAS JARRING TO SEE. I KNOW IN THIS BODY, WN IT PERTAINS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS, WE DEVOTED STAFFING POSITIONS TO THIS, WE HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY TOLD THERE IS A ROBUST IMPLEMENTATION UNIT THAT IS IN CHARGE OF THIS WORK AND ALSO WE

773
03:33:53.786 --> 03:34:10.504
KNOW THAT THERE IS A CHIEF, THERE IS AN OFFICE OF SAFETY COMMISSIONER, A THERE IS MAYOR JACOB FREY THAT OVERSEES THIS. HOW DO WE GET TO PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO CHAIN OF COMMAND? I

774
03:34:10.504 --> 03:34:27.988
DON'T THINK THAT IS A QUESTION YOU COULD ANSWER THAT IS LEADING TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ SAID. I THINK THOSE ARE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF THEMSELVES OF HOW ARE WE ABSENT OF MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES AS YOU CITED. THE LAST QUESTION I WANTED TO RAISE AS IT RELATES TO

775
03:34:27.988 --> 03:34:43.503
IA AND MISCONDUCT ISOOKING AT WHAT HAPPENED WITH FORMER CHIEF O'HARA WHERE THE ADMINISTRATION DID NOT PUT HIM ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE AS OTHER JURISDICTIONS HAVE DONE, WHEN MISCONDUCT AEGATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE. I WANTED TO KNOW

776
03:34:43.503 --> 03:34:59.152
ARE YOU ALL ADVISING ABOUT ANY POTENTIAL EXAMPLES OF POLICIES TO THE FREY ADMINISTRATION ON HOW THEY CAN MAK SURE THAT IS NOT REREPEATED, TO HAVE ACTUAL CLEAR MISCONDUCT PROCESS THAT

777
03:34:59.152 --> 03:35:14.401
OUTLINES LEAVE REQUIREMENTS WHEN MISCONDUCT ALLOCATIONS ARE BEING ADVANCED FOR MPD OFFICERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RANK AND FILE. >> THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES, THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON CURRENTLY WITH THE CITY.

778
03:35:14.401 --> 03:35:32.085
>> OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT. I WILL CONCEDE TO THE NEXT QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. FOR THE EXPEDITED QUESTIONS, I KNOW WE HAVE TWO MORE MEMBERS LEFT AND WE ARE AGAIN CLOSE TO LOSING QUORUM HERE. IILL PASS IT OVER TO COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE.

779
03:35:32.085 --> 03:35:47.667
>> THANK YOU CHAIRWHITING. I WANT TO SHAREN APPRECIATION FOR YOUR OPTIMISM AND AN APPRECIATION FOR YOUR ATTEMPTS AT REMAINING NEUTRAL AND OBJECTIVE. I THINK THOSE THINGS

780
03:35:47.667 --> 03:36:04.684
ARE A LITTLE BIT INTENTION. AS WEO INTO YEARS THREE AND FOUR, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU FOR IS THAT INDEPENDENT AND OBJECTIVE TRUTH TELLING OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. I THINK TH OPTIMISM CAN SOMETIMES,

781
03:36:04.684 --> 03:36:20.233
WHAT WE ULTIMATELY NEED FRO OUR INDEPENDENT MONITOR IS CREDIBILITY. I THINK WHAT COUNCIL MEMB WONSLEY WAS HIGHLIGHTING, YOU KNOW, MOST IMPRESSI DEPARTMENT WE HAVE EVER SEEN IN A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO FAILING TO MEET THE

782
03:36:20.233 --> 03:36:36.716
CORE FOUNDATIONAL JECTIVES. THAT IS A CREDIBILITY RISK, RIGHT? AS WE GET INTO YEAR 3 AND 4, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW ARE POLICIES IN PLACE ON PAPER, IT'S NOT THAT WE TRAINED TO THOSE

783
03:36:36.716 --> 03:36:51.698
POLICIES, BUT HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S TRANSLATING TO MEANINGFUL CHANGE ON THE GROUND IN THE COMMUNITY ON HOW OFFICERS ARE CONDUCTING THEMSELVES? I THINK AT I WANT TO UNDERSTAND AS WE GET INTO YEAR THREE, WHAT IS

784
03:36:51.698 --> 03:37:09.782
THAT CRITERIA WE'RE USING FOR EVALUATION AND AUDIT. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IF YOU HAVE A MEANINGFUL DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO APPROACHES, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CREDIBLE SOURCE OF TRUTH. OBJECTIVELY OUR FORMER CHIEF INTERFERED IN AN

785
03:37:09.782 --> 03:37:25.398
INVESTIGATION THAT WAS SITTING IN IA, WHICH YOU HIGHLIGHTED HAS BEEN A DETERIORATING FUNCTIONALITY WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT, WHICH TRANSLATES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CHAIN OF COMMAN TO SAY THAT YOU DON'T NEED TOAKE INVESTIGATIONS

786
03:37:25.398 --> 03:37:39.546
SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE PERSON AT THE TOP CERTAINLY DOESN'T. THAT'S WHAT THAT COMMUNICATES. WE APPRECIATE THE OPTIMISM AUT PROGRESS, BUT I THINK WHAT WE NEED IS CREDIBLE TRUTH ABOUT THAT OGRESS. AND THE CREDIBLE

787
03:37:39.546 --> 03:37:56.530
TRUTH IS THAT WE HAD A CHIEF UNDERMINING ANY CONCEPT OF ACCOUNTALITY AT A CULTURAL LEL. SO, IF YOU CAN JUST SPEAK TO YEAR 3ND 4 ON AUDIT AND HOW YOU WILL MAINTAIN CREDIBILITY AS

788
03:37:56.530 --> 03:38:14.280
IT RELATES TO SOME OF THOSE EXERCISES. >> CHAIR WHITING AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, I APPRECIAT THE CONCERN. I DON'T KNOW THAT OPTIMISM IS CONSISTENT WITH THINK ABOUT IT, IF YOU LOOK AT OUR REPORTS, I THINK THEY

789
03:38:14.280 --> 03:38:30.863
DEMONSTRATE OUR OBJECTIVITY. IN THE FIRST REPORT, THE CITY WAS HAPPY WITH WHAT WEAID ABOUT THEM. YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS REPORT, LESS SO. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE WILL LIKE WHAT WE SAYND ANOTHERIDE MIGHT NOT. OUR JOB IS TO SHARE WHAT WE SEE. WHEN I

790
03:38:30.863 --> 03:38:49.682
SAY OPTIMISM, I APPRECIATE THE TRAUMA THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN THROUGH AND THE SKEPTICISM. AS I SAID PUBLICLY, MANY PEOPLE THINK OF USS THE RECENT PROMISE TO BE BROKEN. WE TAKE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO S THIS THROUGH SERIOUSLY. IT IS ALSO

791
03:38:49.682 --> 03:39:05.365
TRUE AND WE SAY IT IN PART, WE WORK EVERY DAY WITH PEOPLIN E DEPARTMENT WHO ARE REALLY WORKING HARD TO GET THIS DONE, SOME WHO CAME TO THE DEPARTMENT TO GET THIS DONE. I DON'T WANT TO BE UNFAIR TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT'S WHY IN MY ANSWER, IN THE MEDIA WAS SOMETIMES THE CHIEF

792
03:39:05.365 --> 03:39:22.849
WAS NOT ALWAYSN ALLY, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THE DEPARTMENT IS NO COOPERATING. I THINK THERE IS A BALANCE THERE. THERE ARE SOME LIMITS ON THE Y WE REPORT. WE ONLY WRITE TWO REPORTS A YEAR, SO WE ONLY HAVE THOSE TWO OPPORTUTIES TO COVER A LOT OF CHANGE. WE DO HAVE THREE PUBLIC MEETINGS AND WHEN

793
03:39:22.849 --> 03:39:38.999
MEET WITH PEOPLE, WE TELL THEM WHAT'S GOING ON. SO, I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS IN THE PROCESS. I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT OUR FINDINGS, WE STAND BY THEM AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE COULD REASONABLY SECOND GUESS THEM. TO

794
03:39:38.999 --> 03:39:58.685
TU TO YOUR BROADER QUESTION ABOUT -- >> AUDITS VERSUS EVALUATIONS. >> THANK YOU, AUDITS. WHEN WE DO AUDITS, WE WILL LOOK. IF WE'RE DOINGSEARCHES, LET'S LOOK AT

795
03:39:58.685 --> 03:40:16.636
SEARCHES. WE WILL LOOK AT ARCTICABLE SUSPICION, WAS THERE PROBABLE CAUSE, WAS THERE PROCEDURAL JUSTICE? WE GO THROUGH AN ELARATE CHECKLIST OF ALL OF THE ELEMENTS THAT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ADDRESSES.

796
03:40:16.636 --> 03:40:31.384
THEN WE TAKE A SAMPLE OF PORTS, BODY WORN CAMERAS, THEN WE REVIEWHEM ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY MEET THOSE ELEMENTS. THAT WOULD BE ON THE PERFORMANCE PIECE WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT OFFICERS DO ON T STREET.

797
03:40:31.384 --> 03:40:48.267
OTHERW SYSTEM. IT'S OFF? IS IT ON NO >> YES. >> THERE WE GO. SORRY. I MUST HAVE BUMPED IT. SO THAT IS HOW WE DO TSE AUDITS AND WE SHARE THE METHODOLOGY AND THE RESULTS SO

798
03:40:48.267 --> 03:41:03.082
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT. >> THEN A FOLLOW UP IS AS IT PERTAINS TO RACE-BASED POLICING, HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT A METHODOLOGY TO BRING CREDIBILITY

799
03:41:03.082 --> 03:41:18.932
AROUND WE AREN COMPLIANCE WITH SO OF THE ASPECTSF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. >> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE, WE WILL BE LOONG AT IT HERE. DON'T KNOW THAT ANYE

800
03:41:18.932 --> 03:41:36.549
HAS COME UP WITH A WIDELY ACCEPTED WAY OF LKING AT DISPARITIES, BUT IT IS SOMETHING -- WE LOVE TO BE THE FIRST. THERE ARE DIFFERE WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT AND WE WILL BE ASSESSING ALL OF THOSE. >> AND MY LAST QUESTION, WE HAVE BEEN PUSHING THIS ADMINISTRATION

801
03:41:36.549 --> 03:41:53.466
TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO GET TO A FINALIZED DISCIPLINE MATRIX. WHAT IS THE HOLD UP? WHEN CAN WE EXPECT ONE? I THINK I AM LOSING PASHSZ AND I THINK WE NEED A HARD TIMELINE. I AM AT A LOSS ON WHAT TO DO. WHAT TOOLS DO YOU

802
03:41:53.466 --> 03:42:10.316
HAVE TO GET US TO A DISCIPLINE MATRIX, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO HAVING SOME WAY OF ACCOMMODING THE CHIEF'S ROLE AND WHEN THE CHIEF NEEDS DISCIPLINE. >> CHAIR WHITING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, THE

803
03:42:10.316 --> 03:42:27.333
INVESTIGATIONS ARE GOING TO BE DONE BY THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY THERE. THEY'RE WORK ON THOSE POLICIES AND THE CHIEF HAS TO BE HELD TO THE SAMEOLICIES AS THE DEPARTMENT. THAT'S ONE PIECE. ON THE CORRECTIVE ACTION MATRIX,

804
03:42:27.333 --> 03:42:44.183
THE EXISTING MAY TTRIX HAD TOO DISCIPLINARY LEVELS AND THERE WAS TOO MUCH DISCRETION, SO WE HAVE WORD WITH THE CITY. WE NOW HAVE A FRAMEWORK. I THINK IT HAS SEVEN LEVELS, WHICH WE THINK IS APPROPRIATE. NOW THEY'RE DOING THE WORK TO SORT OF FILL EACH OF THOSEUCKE WITH WHAT

805
03:42:44.183 --> 03:43:01.067
OFFEES, WHAT KIND OF PENALTIES, AND THEY WILL COME BACK. THE WO WORK IS UNDERGOINGE DO HAVE WEEKLY MEETINGS WHERE WE UPDATE NEXT STEPS AND WE MARCH THROUGH A SPREADSHEET, IF YOU

806
03:43:01.067 --> 03:43:15.815
WILL, FOR EACH TASK AND LOOK AT THE NEXT ACTION AND WHAT IS THE DATE FOR THE NEX ACTION, AND WE SEE HOW WE'RE TRACKING. WE'RE MONITORING IT CLOSE AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THE FILL IN FOR THE EXACT VIOLATIONS FOR EACH LEVEL

807
03:43:15.815 --> 03:43:32.832
OF THE MATRIX TO BE PROVIDED FOR US. >> I AM GOING TO END IT THERE SO MY OTHER COLLEUES CAN GET THEIR QUESTIONS IN. >> THANK YOU. AS WELL COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> THANK YOU. I CLICKED THE

808
03:43:32.832 --> 03:43:56.856
WRONG BUTTON. THANK YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU AND THEN A COUPLE OF COMMENTS IN GENERAL THAT I WILL BE LOOKING AT YOU BUT THEY WON'T BE TO YOU. FIRST OFFIN THE PRESENTATION YOU SAID THAT SOMETHING WAS HELD

809
03:43:56.856 --> 03:44:12.171
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE VENDOR. THE WAY IT WAS LAID OUT, IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WANTED TO GIVE A CONTRACT TO A PREFERRED V VENDOR, WHICH SOUNDEDIKE CORRUPTION. WANTE TO HEAR FROM YOU. >> CHAIRHITING AND COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, I DIDN'T MEAN CORRUPTION IN ANY WAY. THEY WERE

810
03:44:12.171 --> 03:44:27.654
IN THE EARLY STAGES AS THEYERE SORTING WHICH WAY TO GO. DIERENT VENDORS OFFICER DIFFENT PACKAGES AND SYSTEMS. I >> SO IT RAISED RED FLAGS FOR ME AROUND THAT AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT'S NOT THE CASE. >> NO, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME

811
03:44:27.654 --> 03:44:45.705
TOLARIFY THAT. THAT WAS N I ANY WAY MY INTENT. >> THANK YOU. THEN, I GUESS THIS IS NOT A QUESTION FOR YOU. ONE THAT THEY WERE NOT HOLDING ED IS STANDING MEETINGS AND I AM JUST REALLY AT A LOSS. LIKE WE HAVE

812
03:44:45.705 --> 03:45:03.289
STANDING MEETINGS FOR EVERYTHING. EVERYONE HAS STANDING MEETINGS FOR EVERYTHING. I MEAN THIS IS LIKE - THIS IS BEFORE THE BASELINE.O I AM FRANKLY AT A DEEP LOSS. YEAH, THERE WAS A LOT OF VERY CONCERNING THINGS IN

813
03:45:03.289 --> 03:45:22.841
THIS AND ALL OF THE THINGS IN YOUR PRESENTATION AND YOUR REPORT THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED THAT WE'RE NOT IN THE PATH TO 2028 TO HAVE COMPLETE POLICY STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THAT'S THE ONE I COULD

814
03:45:22.841 --> 03:45:41.260
WRITE DOWN BEFORE THE SLIDE FLIPPED. IT'S HIGHLIGHTING TO , AND THIS IS NOT TO YOU SIR, THIS IS HIGHLIGHTING TO ME WHO IS NOT I THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW. COMMISSIONER BARNETT COULDN'T BE HERE, THE MAYOR, OR SOMEONE FROM

815
03:45:41.260 --> 03:45:57.744
HIS OFFICE COULDN'T BE BHERED TO BE HERE, THE INTERIM CHIEF OF POLICE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO BE HERE. THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS ON THIS BODY WHO COULDN' BOTHERO STAY OR BE HE. IT'S REALLY HIGHLIGHTING FOR ME THE

816
03:45:57.744 --> 03:46:15.395
IMPORTANCE THIS HAS FOR OTHER PEOPLE. WE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS AND NOW THE ABSENCE OF CERTAIN FOLKS IS SCREAMING LOUDLY. THE FRUSATION YOU'RE SENSING FROM

817
03:46:15.395 --> 03:46:31.978
ME IS COMING FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE EXPERIENCE OF MY COMMUNITY. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF IT BEING AGAINST POLICY FOR MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICER TO SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE HEAD WITH A RUBBER BULLET, YET THAT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE THAT

818
03:46:31.978 --> 03:46:48.227
POLICY WAS IN PLACE AND NO DISCIPLINE HAS EVER BEEN LEVIED AGAINST THIS OFFICER. MY COMMUNITY, ONE OF MY CONSTITUENTS WAS MURDERED BY ICE AND THEY THOUGHT MPD WAS GOING

819
03:46:48.227 --> 03:47:03.576
TO PROTECT THEM FROM ICE AND THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. YEAH, SO GEORGE FLD, I REPRESENT MUC OF GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE, BUT NOT THE ACTUAL SPOT THAT HE WAS MURDERED, BUT THE REST OF IT. YOU KNOW, MY COMMUNITY AND

820
03:47:03.576 --> 03:47:19.658
MYLF, WE ARE JUST SITTING HERE EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF PROGRESS AND THE LACKF ATTENTION. THEOLKS IN THIS ROOM CAN'T SEE THAT THE SEATS

821
03:47:19.658 --> 03:47:35.707
ARE EMPTY, NO ONE IS HERE.'M NOT TALKING ABOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WHAT IF WE HAD A QUESTION WE WANTED TO ASK MPD? I MEAN A SINGLE QUESTION THAT WE WANTED TO ASK AND HAVE ANSWERED, AND THEY ARE NOT HERE. THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, OTHER FOL FROM THE ADMINIRATION, THEY WERE

822
03:47:35.707 --> 03:47:51.257
HERE FORARLIER ITEMS. THIS IS THE LOWEST HANGING FRUIT TO MAKE PROGRESS. THIS IS THE LOWEST HANGING FRUIT TO MAKE AGREEMENTS

823
03:47:51.257 --> 03:48:09.709
ON THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND YET HERE WE ARE. I AM FLABBERGASTED, I AM DISMAYED, I'M A LOT OF THINGS. YEAH, I HAVE SOME OTHER THINGS WRITTEN DOWN THAT MAYBE I WILL HAVE TO SKIP BUT I GUESS I JUST WANT TO

824
03:48:09.709 --> 03:48:24.724
REITERATE THAT THE MESSAGE I AM RECEIVING BY NOBODY BEING IN THIS ROOM TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IS THAT THIS DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM. IF THAT IS NOT THE CASE, THEN I ENCOURAGE THOSE FOLKS TO BE IN THIS ROOM NEXT

825
03:48:24.724 --> 03:48:44.009
T DISAPPOINTED. THANK U FOR THE REPORT. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING OUR QUTIONS. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANKS CHAIR WHITING. AS WE WANTED TO CHALLENGE THE NOTION THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY IS JUST ON THE CHIEF AND THAT BECAUSE

826
03:48:44.009 --> 03:49:00.159
THE CHIEF, THERE WAS A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP, THE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED, THAT IS NOT TRUE. THAT IS HOW WE WILL LEAD TO MORE CONSENT DECREES IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S AN EXCUSE AND EXCUSES ARE NOT ACCOUNTABILITY. I READ THROUGH THE ORDINANCES, THE CHIEF OF POLICE IS UNDER THE

827
03:49:00.159 --> 03:49:17.042
DIRECTION OF THE MAYOR AND I AT LEAST WANTED TO MENTION THAT SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR TO ELEFA THAT JUST BECAUSE AND TO MY COLLEAGUES, JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A NEW CHIEF DOES NOT MEAN THE ISSUE IS SOLVED. SO I JUST WANT

828
03:49:17.042 --> 03:49:32.792
TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. THERE IS THE ROLE OF THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. WHAT IS THEIR ROLE IN THIS? I WANT TO ECHO THE CONCERNS THAT MAYBE WE SULD DELAY THIS ITEM A CYCLE SO WE CAN HAVE FOLKS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION ANSWE OUR QUESTIONS NEXT WEEK. SO I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO DELAY THIS

829
03:49:32.792 --> 03:49:48.841
CYCLE, SO THEY CAN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS NEXT WEEK. >> SECOND. >> THIRD. >> DO WE HAVE -- I MEAN. >> AND I JUS LIKE TO NOTE, A PIECE ON THAT, THE HOPE FOR THIS

830
03:49:48.841 --> 03:50:04.156
PRESENTATION ITSELF IS ECIFICALLY WE WILL HAVE TWO OPPORTUNITIES BAKED IO THIS COMMITTEE, PARTICULARLY ASK QUESTIONS OF OUR INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR, PARTICULARLY ON HOW THEY WORK THROUGH AND COME TO THE DECISIONS TT ARE IN THE

831
03:50:04.156 --> 03:50:19.538
REPORTS AN TALK THROUGH ANY OF THE EVALUATIVE PROCESSO GET TO THIS POINT WHERE WE'RE SEEING WITH MPD. I SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS AS MY COLLEAGUES HERE, PARTICULARLY ABOUT INFORMATION D BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF

832
03:50:19.538 --> 03:50:37.490
MPD. WE ARE WORKING WITH MPD SPECIFICALLY, THAT INTERNALLY THEY HAVE A REFORM STAT, SORRY, WITH INTERNAL MEETING. THE DO THOSE MONTHLY.HE HOPE FOR THIS BODY, WE ARE WORKING AGAIN ON THE CADENCE NOW, BUT HAVING

833
03:50:37.490 --> 03:50:54.073
THOSE BAKED INTO THIS COMMITTEE, IN THIS BODY, SO THAT WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS OF MPD IN A SPACE THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE WORK PARTICULARLY THAT ELEFA DOES. I THINK THE HOPE FOR THIS

834
03:50:54.073 --> 03:51:12.391
SPECIFICALLY WE -- WITH ELEFA, TO ASK ABOUT INDEPENDENT EVALUATION AND THE DAY-TO-DAY WORK THAT MPD DOES. SO, THAT IS WHY WE DELINEATED THE TWO VERSIONS OF THAT, SO THAT WE

835
03:51:12.391 --> 03:51:30.443
HAVE TIME AND AMPLE TIME, THE HOPE IS BIMONTHLY TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS ON REFORM WORK OF MPD IN A SPECIFIC SETTING WITH MPD HE AND THE HOPE AGAIN IS R THE CHIEF TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS AND PRESENT THAT. THEN

836
03:51:30.443 --> 03:51:46.625
AGAIN, ASK FOR A VENUE W WITH ELEFA TO ASK MONITORING QUESTIONS THAT ARE ABOVE AND OUTSIDE THE BROER CONTEXT. JUST THAT PIECE THERE, I KNOW THAT AS WE ARE WRAPPING UP HERE SPECIFICALLY, I GUESS WE HAVE A

837
03:51:46.625 --> 03:52:03.509
MOTION BEFORE US, RIGH >> I GUESS WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET AT IS THAT THIS IS ABOUT ELEFA BUT THE CITY HAS A ROLE HERE, THE ADMINISTRATION, MPD, THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, NO ONE IS HERE IN THIS ROOM. IT IS LITERALLY EMPTY. WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REPORT. HOW

838
03:52:03.509 --> 03:52:19.025
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTABILITY I WE CAN'T ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND WHAT IS MY OPINION IS FAILING TO MEET OUR AGREEMENT GOALS OF YEAR ONE AND TWO. I WANT THE ADMINISTRATION TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS. MPD NEEDS TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS. IS THAT

839
03:52:19.025 --> 03:52:35.874
GOING TO BE THE AGENDA NEXT WEEK? MY REASON FOR DELAYING THIS ITEM IS TO THAT WE CAN GET ANSWERS NEXT CYCLE. ANOTHER WAY TO ADDRESS THIS IS PUTTING IT ON THE AGENDA, WHICH I'M HAPPY TO SUBMIT AN R.C.A. OR COUNCIL

840
03:52:35.874 --> 03:52:52.458
REQUEST TO COME IN NEXT WEEK. THE EASIER THING, DELAYING THIS CYCLE SO THAT MPD CAN ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS NEXT CYCLE. THAT'S MY REAS FOR DELAY. >> IF THAT IS THE WILL OF THE BODY, LET'S HAVE A CONVERSAT AS WELL OUTSIDE OF THE SETTING HERE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CADCE

841
03:52:52.458 --> 03:53:08.540
IS HELPFUL TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS, PARTICULARLY FOR MPD. I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAMEAGE HERE OF WANTING D AND SPECIFIC MEMBERS FROM THE ENTERPRISE TONSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REPORT. >> I THINK IF WE HAVE IT NEXT CYCLE, THAT WILL BE GREAT AND THEN WE FIGURE OUT THE CADENCE

842
03:53:08.540 --> 03:53:23.155
AFTER THAT. I'M HAPPY TO WITHDRAW THE MOTION IF IT CAN BE ON THE AGENDA. >> WE'RE IN DISCUSSION WITH MPD LEADERSHIP AT THE MOMENT SO I THINK THAT WOULD BEOMETHING THEY WOULD BE OPEN TO. COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?

843
03:53:23.155 --> 03:53:42.374
>> NO, I WAS JUST SAYING WE HAVE FIVE MINUTES. >> WE SURE DO. WE WILL WRAP UP WITH THAT. I THINK WE WILL ASK U MR. DOUGLAS FOR THE PRESENTION. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME BEING HERE TO RECEIVE --

844
03:53:42.374 --> 03:53:56.889
MAYBE NOT. >> I THINKHE MOTION IS STILL THE TABLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN WITHDRAWN. I WILL SAY MY OPINION. WHY DO WE WANT TO WORK ON AN R.C.A. IF WE DON'T HAVE TO? LET'S JUST TAKE THIS TO THE

845
03:53:56.889 --> 03:54:13.973
NEXT CYCLE AND THEN ELEFA PRESENTERS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE NEXT TIME AROUND. THAT COULD BE ADMINISTR SHOULD SAVE OURSELVES SOME WORK. >> AND COUNCIL MEMBER, THE ONLY WORD FOR ME AND THIS MAY BE A ESTION FOR THE CLERK'S OFFICE

846
03:54:13.973 --> 03:54:30.422
IF WE MOVE FORWARD -- SORRY, DELAY THIS CYCLE, DOES THE TOPIC ONLY HAVE TO REMAIN GERMANE TO THE HOPE IS THAT WE COULD ASK K ANY VERSION OF QUESTIONS FOR MPD, SO THAT'S WHY I THINK IF WE REMOVE IT, IT COULD BE OUTSIDE

847
03:54:30.422 --> 03:54:50.476
JUST THE ELEFA PRESENTATION. THAT IS MY WORRY, THAT IT WOU PRESENTATION. CIFIC TO THE ELEFA >> I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC TO THE TITLE. OKAY.

848
03:54:50.476 --> 03:55:07.692
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE NEXT CYCLE, WHICH IS LITERALLY I THINK JULY 28TH, THERE IS A REPORT OR AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA THAT WILL ALLOW US TO ASK FOR AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS OF THE ELEFA REPORT THAT SHOWS WE'RE COMPLETELY FAILING. THAT'S IT.

849
03:55:07.692 --> 03:55:25.377
>> OUR HAPPY IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET IT ON THE AGENDA. >> OKAY, SO THAT WILL BE ON THE OTHER OPINION. >> CAN I JUS SAY THIS? I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW WHOEVER IT IS THAT YOU NEED TO GET THOSE ANSWERS OM, THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE WHO YOU

850
03:55:25.377 --> 03:55:41.860
ARE REQUESTING TO BE HERE. BECAUSE YOU CAN ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT HAS KNOWS ANSWERS ARE NOT QUESTIONED TO BE HERE, YOU WON'T GET THE ANSRS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. >> STEVENSON. >> YEAH, I THINK REPORT IS

851
03:55:41.860 --> 03:55:57.542
EXPANSIVE AND SPECIFIC ENOUGH. I WOULD PREFER THAT WE JUST MOVE THIS TO THE NEXT CYCLE AND WE CAN STICK EXCLUSIVELY TO THE REPORT/PRESENTATION, AND THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER, WE CAN

852
03:55:57.542 --> 03:56:14.125
HAVE ADDITIONAL, WHICH I PREFER. MY STRONG PREFERENCE IS THAT WE STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL MOTION AND JUST POSTPONE. >> YEP, IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE BODY. >> YES, LET'S JT SAY WE FIND OUT FROM THE CLERK AFTER COUNCIL THAT WE NEED TO SUBMIT AN

853
03:56:14.125 --> 03:56:30.442
R.C.A., LET'S DO THAT. >> EXACTLY. SO DO WE HAVE TO REVE SINCE IT WAS WITHDRAWN? >> IT'S A MOTION TO CONTINUE ONE CYCLE. IT'S STILL ON THE TABLE. JUST DO VOICE ONE THEN. >> TNK YOU. >> CLERKS, IF W ARE ABLE TDO A VOICE VOTE, THAT WOULD BE

854
03:56:30.442 --> 03:56:46.291
WONDERFUL. ALL THOSE INFAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. [AYES EXPRESSED] >> THAT I PASSED. WONDERFUL. THEN I WILL PASS IT BACK TO OUR CHAIR. >> WITHOUT OBJECTION,E ARE ADJOURNED.

855
