June is Pride Month, a time to recognize the history, strength, and contributions of our LGBTQIA plus residents and neighbors.

Next week, June 19th is Junth. Junth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

We celebrated the success of 79 young people who graduated or earned their GED while receiving county services in foster care, teen hope, or the juvenile justice system.

To honor this anniversary, we're creating and supporting programs that highlight the state, local, indigenous histories.

Henipin County is proud to be recognized as the 2026 Minnesota Safety and Health Conference with the Governor's Workplace Safety Award. So excited. We earned the Gold Achievement Award for our strong performance.

We're just so close to the reality of this project. We're at 90% design kind of for this second time.

over half the residents in the corridor. Um this isn't just an add-on. This is a need to have half of the residents don't have cars. This is the most transit reliant community sets of communities in the state.

I just couldn't agree with your remarks more and want to underscore what you said about 85% or more than 85% municipal consent um for this project like there's just enormous interest from the community and community leaders in this project.

I also want to underscore the climate impacts of having uh light rail and as part of our system and I think that's going to be my final point is a system.

Are moving ahead with um contracts and uh uh retaining a consultant to assist with the vetting and finding of candidates for the uh Henipin Healthcare Systems uh professional board.

There can be such a difference in services available depending on where you live even though a crime is a crime is a crime.

What this will do is establish um a way to recognize community members for doing work that's important to um the county.

The county does receive about $25,000 for our participation in this voluntary program.

Is there a way in which we respond to the data and in which case highlight a statistic that we might be responding to?

We don't provide a specific response. We simply put the data out there for people to see. So, it's really about transparency.

I'm very interested in the public safety portion specifically understanding the relationship of of the metrics here by municipality.
