AND THE BIOCHAR [4:55] PRODUCTION FACILITY BID, WHICH I'M EXCITED ABOUT. I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE [5:01] TWO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS.

AND WE DO HAVE OUR LABOR RELATIONS [5:13] DIRECTOR HERE, AS WELL. SO WE'LL HAVE THEM SPEAK TO THAT [5:18] AFTERWARDS. SO SEEING NO ONE ELSE IS IN QUEUE TO SPEAK TO ANY OF THE ITEMS, I'M NOT SEEING IT. [5:26] I'LL MOVE APPROVAL FOR ALL ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. EXCEPT ITEMS TWO AND THREE. I'M [5:33] SORRY, WAS THAT CORRECT, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> YES. >> WITH THAT -- ACTUALLY, A [5:38] VOICE VOTE.

[5:51] TWO AND THREE, I'LL INVITE OUR DIRECTOR OF LABOR RELATIONS COME [5:58] UP. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, YOU CAN PROCEED WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. THANK YOU, [6:05] DIRECTOR. I WAS LOOKING AT THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR [6:11] '25, '26, AND' 27. 4% FOR 2025, [6:18] 4% FOR 2026, AND 3% FOR 2027. WILL THAT BE APPLIED [6:26] RETROACTIVELY IN THE FORM OF BACK PAY. >> COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, THAT'S CORRECT. ONCE THE CONTRACT IS COMPLETE, AND ON TO [6:33] IMPLEMENTATION, THE CONTRACT'S BACK PAY WILL BE RETROBACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTRACT, WHICH WILL BE ONE MONTH '25. [6:39] >> THANK YOU. HOW DID YOU LAND ON 3% FOR '27? I NOTICED IT WAS A DIP IN THE INCREASE IN COST OF [6:46] LIVING. AND I'M ACTUALLY CONCERNED THAT OUR COST OF LIVING IS GOING TO GO UP EVEN [6:53] DRAMATICALLY GIVEN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. IF THERE'S ROOM FOR [6:58] RENEGOTIATION IF COST OF LIVING CHANGES BY THAT DATE. >> COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. FOR 3%, [7:05] LABOR RELATIONS SURVEYS ARE PEER JU JURISDICTIONS. THE [7:10] MARKET CONDITIONS ARE AFFORDABILITY AND THE POPULATION AND SUCH. THERE'S A LOT THAT [7:15] GOES INTO COST OF LIVING. IT JUST ISN'T -- IT HAS INCREASED OVER THE YEARS, SO WHAT YOU'RE [7:21] SEEING IN 3% IS EVEN AN INCREASE IN RECENT YEARS. AND SO IF [7:26] CONDITIONS DO CHANGE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS THROUGH A LABOR RELATIONS NEGOTIATIONS, THAT'S [7:31] SOMETHING WE WILL ADDRESS AT THAT TIME. NORMALLY IT'S IN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS. >> UH-HUH. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR [7:37] THE RESPONSE. I'M JUST GLAD TO SEE, ESPECIALLY WITH ASFCE THE [7:43] GRANT HERE. I KNOW IT WAS YEARS IN THE WORKS. CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT AND THANK YOU. I'LL [7:49] MOVE BOTH THESE FOR APPROVAL. >> ALL RIGHT. I WILL SECOND THAT. SO WE CAN DO A VOICE VOTE [7:57] ON ITEMS TWO AND THREE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. [8:03] OPPOSED -- ALL RIGHT. AYES HAVE IT AND THOSE WILL BE FORWARDED TO FULL COUNCIL. NEXT WE HAVE [8:10] OUR SECOND QUARTER UPDATE FROM THE RACIAL EQUITY INCLUSION AND BELONGING DEPARTMENT. I'LL ASK [8:22] DIRECTOR CORBETT TO COME UP AND START THEIR PRESENTATION FOR US. [8:39] >> GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR WONSLEY AND COUNCILMEMBERS. DIRECTOR PRINCE CORBETT. PROVIDING AN [8:47] UPDATE AROUND QUARTER 22025, WHICH INCLUDES SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE EXECUTED [8:54] IN 2025. AS WELL AS FUTURE WORK WE HAVE COMING UP IN THE 2025 [9:00] THAT WE'LL BE WRAPPING UP. SO I START THESE PRESENTATIONS [9:06] OFF WITH A REMINDER OF THE CHAPTER 21 OF THE CITY ORDINANCES. ESTABLISHING THE [9:11] DUTIES OF THE DEPARTMENT. IT PROVIDES A DEFINITION FOR RACIAL EQUITY, THE DEFINITION FOR THE [9:16] RACIAL EQUITY ACTION PLAN, ESTABLISHES THE DUTIES OF THE REIB DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS THE [9:21] DUTIES OF ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY WITH REGARDS TO RACIAL EQUITY IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. [9:30] SPECIFICALLY WITHIN CHAPTER 21, THERE ARE TWO MAJOR DUTIES OF THE REIB DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS [9:36] DEVELOPING AND ADAPTING A RACIAL EQUITY FRAMEWORK THAT PROVIDES VISION, PURPOSE, AND DEFINITIONS TO GUIDE DEPARTMENTS. AS WELL [9:42] AS COORDINATING AND SUPPORTING EFFORTS BY ALL DEPARTMENTS TO INCREASE RACIAL EQUITY IN ALL [9:48] THE CITY DOES. SO UNDER SECTION TWO, THERE ARE 12 SPECIFIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT [9:53] OUR DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. SO HERE ARE THE FIRST SIX. WHICH IS ASSISTING AND [9:59] COLLABORATION WITH PERTINENT DEPARTMENTS. I DO NOTE THAT FOR DUTY NUMBER TWO, AROUND [10:06] INCREASING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS, THAT'S A POTENTIAL CONFLICT WITH NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY RELEASES D [10:12] RELEASE -- RELATIONS DEPARTMENT. THEY DO A LOT WITH COMMUNITY RELATIONS. A LOT OF OUR WORK WE [10:18] FOCUS ON IN 2025 AND 2026 IS PRIMARILY WORKING WITH HR [10:23] DEPARTMENT AND DESIGNING THERE'S A BROAD TRAINING AND CAPACITY-BUILDING CURRICULUM FOR ALL CITY EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE [10:30] ENTERPRISE. AS WELL AS ASSISTING ALL DEPARTMENTS IN THEIR EQUITY PRINCIPLES AND [10:36] DEVELOPING ANALYTICAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT ALL DEPARTMENTS. SO THESE ARE THE FIRST SIX OF THE [10:41] DUTIES. THEN THE FINAL SIX, WE DO HAVE A LOT. I'M NOT GOING TO GO IN DEATH WITH -- [10:48] DETAIL WITH ALL OF THEM. WORKING ON AND SUPPORTING OF AN [10:55] ANALYZING DATA. IDENTIFICATION OF OPPORTUNITIES. THESE ARE JUST 12 OF THE MANY DUTIES OUR [11:01] DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. SO JUST SOME GENERAL PROGRAMMING [11:06] UPDATES THAT WE HAVE FOR YEAR 2025. THIS IS ONE THAT I FORGOT [11:12] TO INCLUDE IN OUR LAST UPDATE. THE NATIONAL DAY OF RACIAL [11:17] HEALING, WHICH IS -- WHICH WAS JANUARY 21, 2025. NATIONAL DAY OF RACIAL HEALING IS THE TUESDAY [11:24] AFTER MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY. AND THIS YEAR WAS THE TUESDAY AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S INAUGURATION DAY, AS WELL. WE [11:31] HAVE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT THAT WAS STARTED IN 2022, WITH MULTIPLE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS [11:38] ACROSS THE TWIN CITIES AREA. CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, SAINT PAUL, BLOOMINGTON, BROOKLYN PARK, [11:43] HENNEPIN, AND RAMSEY COUNTY. AND HOW WE STRUCTURE THESE EVENTS FOR NATIONAL DAY OF RACIAL HEALING, IN THE PAST, IS [11:50] THAT THERE'S AN EMPLOYEE EVENT THAT WE OFFER VIRTUALLY TO ALL EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONS IN THE AFTERNOON. [11:56] AND THEN IN THE EVENING, WE HOST A COMMUNITY VIRTUAL EVENT THAT IS OPEN TO ANY RESIDENT. AND [12:01] THIS YEAR, WE HAD 221 EMPLOYEES FROM THOSE JURISDICTIONS REGISTERED. 165 WHO ATTENDED. [12:08] AND THEN FOR THE COMMUNITY EVENT, 461 REGISTERED AND 40 A [12:13] ATTENDED. ALL TOGETHER SLIGHTLY OVER 450 INDIVIDUALS WHO [12:18] ATTENDED THIS ONE-DAY EVENT. THIS YEAR WE HAD, FOR 2025, OUR [12:25] FEATURE SPEAKER WAS A PROFESSOR OF OJIBWE STATE UNIVERSITY. WE DID A SURVEY ART THAT AND HAD [12:33] 138 RESPONDENTS. AND SOME OF THE DATA IS THERE FOR YOU TO SEE. SO OVERALL, MOST PEOPLE [12:38] SATISFIED WITH THE OVERALL EVENT. AND THEN THE LENGTH OF THE EVENT. AND SOME OF THE FEEDBACK WAS AROUND [12:45] COMMUNICATING THE EVENT TO THEN SATISFACTION WITH EVENT MARKETING. THIS WAS BECAUSE LAST YEAR WE HAD A LATE START IN [12:52] PLANNING. BUT THE JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING, INCLUDING RACIALTY EQUITY, [13:00] WITHIN THOSE JURISDICTIONS. WE HAD THE 2026 KICKOFF MEETING LAST WEEK. SO WE'RE PLANNING [13:05] AHEAD AND EARLY FOR A COLLABORATIVE 2026 EVENT. AND, ALSO, OUR DEPARTMENT IS [13:13] RESPONSIBLE FOR HOSTING OR PLANNING A GEORGE FLOYD REMEMBRANCE EVENT FOR EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. [13:20] AND THIS YEAR WE HAD A PANEL DISCUSSION FEATURING THE POLICE [13:25] ON BLACK MEN PROJECT. THE POLICE AND BLACK MEN PROJECT WAS STARTED IN 2017. AND THE [13:31] MISSION IS A GROUP OF MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICERS, PRIMARILY FROM THE FOURTH [13:37] PRECINCT, AND BLACK COMMUNITY MEMBERS, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS OF TRUST TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY [13:42] SAFETY. SO THIS YEAR WE HAD A VIRTUAL EVENT THAT WAS OPEN FOR EMPLOYEES. WE HAD 184 CITY [13:49] MINNEAPOLIS EMPLOYEES WHO R REGISTERED AND 131 WHO ATTENDED. [13:54] AND THE PANEL DISCUSSION FEATURED SOME OF THE OFFICERS FROM THE PRECINCT FOURTH [14:01] PRECINCT WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT AS WELL AS SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS. UMM, OVERALL, AH, THE FEEDBACK -- WE [14:08] DID A SURVEY AFTERWARDS AND PEOPLE APPRECIATED THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE EVENT. [14:13] PEOPLE REALLY WANTED TO SEE MORE ENGAGEMENT OR SHARING OF DIFFERENT INITIATIVES, LIKE [14:19] THIS, HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND WE HAD THE EVENT THAT WAS JUST ON TEAMS. IT WAS [14:26] EASIER TO DO VIRTUALLY. BUT, ALSO, FEEDBACK ON PEOPLE WANTING HYBRID LIKE IN-PERSON AND [14:32] VIRTUAL OPTION, AS WELL. AND SO FOR THE POLICE AND BLACK [14:37] MEN PROSPECT, AS WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS HIGHLIGHTED IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PROJECT WHO WENT DOWN TO [14:44] MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR TO TOUR THE LEGACY MO MUSEUM, THE ROSA PARKS [14:54] ME SEUM. WE WENT TO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. WE HAD A LOT OF [15:00] CONVERSATION AROUND IMPACTS OF RACISM, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND POLICE. AND IT WAS AN EYE-OPENING EXPERIENCE FOR A LOT [15:06] OF OFFICERS THAT WENT DOWN THERE. SO THAT WAS SOME OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT OVER THE [15:12] PANEL DISCUSSION FEATURED FOR THIS YEAR. AND, IN ADDITION, [15:18] ONE OF THE REQUESTS WE GOT FROM 3-1-1 DEPARTMENT. TO FACILITATE [15:24] BURNING SPACE CONVERSATIONS FOR SOME OF THEIR STAFF PEOPLE THE [15:29] WEEK OF MAY 25th. SO WE FACILITATED THREE RACIAL HEALING [15:35] SAFE EMBRACE SPACE CONVERSATIONS WITH ABOUT 47 STAFF FROM 3-1-1 [15:40] AND THEN FACILITATING ANOTHER SERIES COMING UP LATER THIS [15:46] MONTH AT REQUEST. AND SO I ALSO SHARED A QUOTE FROM THE 3 [15:52] 3-1-1 DIRECTOR I RECEIVED AFTERWARDS OF FACILITATING CONVERSATIONS. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR FACILITATING THE SAFE [15:58] SPACE CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR STAFF. I'VE HEARD SUCH MEANINGFUL REFLECTIONS FROM [16:03] STAFF. YOUR PRESENCE TRULY MADE A DIFFERENCE. CREATING ROOM FOR HONESTY, VULNERABILITY, AND CARE [16:09] IS POWERFUL WORK. YOUR ABILITY TO GUIDE US THROUGH THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH EMPATHY AND [16:15] THOUGHTFULNESS HELPED OUR TEAM FEEL SEEN, HEARD, AND SUPPORTED. THESE MOMENTS OF CONNECTION STAY WITH PEOPLE. THEY [16:20] STRENGTHEN TEAMS, AND HELP BUILD A MORE COMPASSIONATE AND INCLUSIVE CITY. [16:27] ALSO, AS REMINDER AND CONNECTING TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT, OR THE ORGANIZATIONAL [16:34] ASSESSMENT WE DID WITH RESEARCH AND ACTION LAST YEAR. ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE REPORT IS FOR OUR DEPARTMENT TO [16:39] FACILITATE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE SICKLES FOR CITY EMPLOYEES [16:45] ORGANIZATION. WE'RE BUILDING ON AND CONNECTING TO THE ASSESSMENT [16:51] REPORT. THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF DIFFERENT INITIATIVES INTERNALLY FOR STAFF [16:57] PEOPLE. AND, ALSO, INCLUDING AN UPDATE AROUND OUR PROJECT AND [17:03] INITIATIVE. SO STORY CORPS. IS A NATIONAL NONPROFIT [17:08] ORGANIZATION, AND THEY WORK TO CAPTURE INDIVIDUAL STORIES AND COLLECTIVE STORIES THROUGH AT [17:15] THE AMERICAN FOLK LIFE CENTER AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. WITH STORY CORPS. THEY'RE NATIONALLY [17:21] RECOGNIZED. THEY CENTER COMMUNITY VOICE AROUND DIFFERENT INITIATIVES AND THEY HAVE [17:27] RECORDED MILLIONS OF STORIES OF FOLKS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THIS WAS PART OF OUR TRUTH [17:32] HEALING AND RECONCILIATION EFFORT AND RECOGNIZING THAT ONE OF THE FOUR STEPS, THE FOUR-STEP [17:39] PROCESS AROUND TRUTH, HEALING, AND RECONCILIATION IS TRUTH TELLING AND SEEKING TO [17:45] UNDERSTAND. THIS GAVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THEIR VOICE AROUND THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD, THE AFTERMATH THAT [17:50] HAPPENED WITH THE CIVIL UNREST, AND THEN THE REACTIONS AROUND POLICE REFORM. SO WITH THIS [17:59] INITIATIVE WE HAVE, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AT ANY TIME, CAN GO ON [18:04] TO STORY CORPS.'S WEBSITE AND RECORD THEIR INTERVIEWS OR STORIES. INTERVIEW FRIENDS, [18:09] FAMILIES, AND LOT OFFED ONES AND HAVE THEIR STORIES PERMANENTLY CAPTURED. WE HAD A LAUNCH EVENT [18:15] MARK 12 AT THE CAPRI THEATER WITH 61 PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED. AND THAT EVENT IN MARCH LAUNCHED [18:22] OUR TELLING OF OUR PARTNERSHIP. PROVIDED AN OVERVIEW OF STORY TELLING, AND INTRODUCED STORY [18:29] CORPS.'S METHODOLOGY. LATER THAT WEEK, WE HAD A RACIAL LITERACY WORKSHOP. WE HAD [18:36] DR. HOWARD STEVENSON, WHO WAS IN ATTENDANCE AT THE WORKSHOP. THE 42 PEOPLE ATTENDED. AND THE [18:41] CONTENT AROUND STORY TELLING, IDENTITY MAPPING, AND DISCUSSIONS ON RACE, SYSTEMS, AND POWER. [18:49] SO PART OF THE WORK WE HAVE WITH STORY CORPS. IS THAT FOR MAY 13 [18:55] THROUGH THE 23rd, THEY HAD THE MOBILE AIR STREAM BOOTH. INDIVIDUALS COULD HAVE SIGNED UP [19:01] FOR -- WE HAD 50 INTERVIEW SLOTS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO SIGN UP FOR. WE HAD 79 INDIVIDUALS WHO [19:07] COMPLETED THE INTEREST FORMS. AND 50 INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED. AND OF THOSE, 38 INTERVIEWS WHO [19:14] WERE COMPLETED AND UPLOADED FROM THE 50 THAT WERE A SCHEDULED. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING WITH STORY [19:21] CORPS. TO DEVELOP THREE AUDIO CARDS. FROM THOSE 38 [19:26] INTERVIEWS, WE'RE NARROWING DOWN TWO THREE OF THE MOST COMPELLING INTERVIEWS THAT ALIGN TO THE [19:32] THEMES AROUND OUR STORY CORPS. INITIATIVE. THEY'LL TAKE THOSE INTERVIEWS, ANYWHERE FROM 30 TO [19:38] 40 MINUTES, AND CUT THEM DOWN TO THREE-MINUTE AUDIO CARDS. AND WE'LL HAVE THREE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE. AND COMING UP, [19:45] MID TO LATE SEPTEMBER, WE'LL HAVE A COMMUNITY LISTENING EVENT. WE'LL BE DEBUTING THE [19:51] AUDIO CARDS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC. AND I'LL SAY, ONE OF THE THINGS WITH STORY CORPS. [19:56] IS THAT OUR WORK AROUND STORY TELLING, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO SHARE THEIR TRUTH, DOES NOT STOP [20:02] ONCE THE LISTENING SESSION IS DONE. THERE'S A PERMANENT ONLINE ARCHIVE WHERE [20:07] INDIVIDUALS, ANY RESIDENT, CAN RECORD THEIR INTERVIEW, THEIR STORY WITH THEIR FRIEND, FAMILY [20:12] MEMBER, ORLOVED ONE. AROUND THE IMPACT OF THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD, THE CIVIL UNREST, AS WELL [20:18] AS POLICE REFORM. ON STORY CORPS.'S WEBSITE AT ANY TIME, IN [20:25] PERPETUITY, SO LONG AS THE WEBSITE IS STILL ACTIVE. AND THEN THE FINAL UPDATE IS AROUND OUR TRUTH, HEALING, AND [20:34] RECONCILIATION TRAINING AND LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SESSION UPDATES. SO I WANTED TO START, THIS IS [20:39] ACTUALLY A SLIDE FROM WHEN WE HAD TO DO OUR BUDGET UPDATE. IT WAS AROUND TRUTH, HEALING, AND [20:45] RECONCILIATION CURRICULUM. AND, REALLY, THE ACTIVITIES WERE DESIGNED, IMPLEMENTING LEARNING [20:50] SESSIONS FOCUSED ON REPAIRING HARM, THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION, AND THEN WE INCLUDED THE GENDER AND RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT [20:57] ASSESSMENT. THE REPAIR HARM MODEL IS THE PROCESS. IT'S A [21:02] FOUR-STEP PROCESS THAT I'LL GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT LATER. AND THIS INFORMATION WAS TAUGHT TO [21:09] DIRECTORS THROUGH THE METAMORPHOSIS ANTIRACIST LEADERSHIP PROGRAM. SOME OF THE FEEDBACK FROM EMPLOYEES AROUND [21:16] METAMORPHOSIS IS THAT LEADERS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION, IT'S GREAT THEY'RE GETTING LEARNING [21:22] AND DEVELOPED BUT NEEDED TO BE CASCADED DOWN TO THE EMPLOYEES. AND THE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS [21:29] EMPLOYEES AS WE GET CLOSER TO ROLLING OUT AND LAUNCHING. [21:35] SO OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE METRICS ARE THE NUMBER OF TRAINING SESSIONS CONDUCTED, ATTENDANCE RATES, WE GO ONED [21:43] ASSESSMENTS FOR EACH LEARNING MODULE. WITH THOUGHTFUL CON [21:53] CONFRONTATION MODEL, IT IS A PHASED APPROACH AIMED AT [22:00] REDUCING AND STOPPING RACIALIZED HARM. THOUGHTFUL CON [22:05] CONFRONTATION CAN BE USE UTILIZED WHEN RACIAL HARM IS [22:12] HAPPENING. WHEN BIAS IS AT PLAY. MICROAGGRESSIONS OR POWER [22:20] AND BALANCES PREVENT INDIVIDUALS FROM ADVOCATING FOR THEMSELVES. THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION IS NOT [22:25] ABOUT CALLING PEOPLE OUT. IT'S ABOUT INTERRUPTING HARMFUL PATTERNS OF LEARNING AND [22:31] ACCOUNTABILITY. AND THIS IS THE FOUR-STEP THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION MODEL FOR EMPLOYEES THAT WE'LL BE SHARING [22:37] WITH EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION. CLARIFYING, CO-CREATING, CALLING IN, AND [22:42] THEN CONFRONTING. IT'S ABOUT WHEN THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN THE MOMENT, HOW DO WE AS [22:49] INDIVIDUALS, PEOPLE, LEADERS CONFRONT THE ACTS OF RACISM, SEXISM, AND CLASSISM AS THEY ARE HAPPENING IN THE MOMENT. [22:57] AND THIS IS THE REPAIR HARM MODEL A FOUR-STEP PROCESS. SO [23:04] RACIALIZED HARM REFERS TO WAYS IN RACIAL BIAS, RACISM, AND [23:10] SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES MANIFEST IN WORKPLACES AND ORGANIZATIONAL SETTINGS. IT TALKS ABOUT OVERT RACISM, COVERT RACISM, [23:15] STRUCTURAL RACISM, AND CULTURAL RACISM ARE SOME OF THE CONTENT THAT INDIVIDUALS LEARN ABOUT. [23:21] HARM SHOULD BE REPAIRED WHEN IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED. WHEN THERE IS READINESS ON BEHALF OF THOSE [23:26] BEING HARMED TO HAVE -- WHEN PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED INTO [23:32] HARM REPAIR. PEOPLE HAVE THE HARM WANT TO ENGAGE, AND WHEN SYSTEMIC CHANGES ARE POSSIBLE. AND ALWAYS NOTE THIS IS NOT A [23:38] LINEAR PROCESS. AT THE BOTTOM. SO WE MAY START WITH TRUTH [23:43] TELLING, MOVE TO SEEK TO UNDERSTAND, AND MOVE BACK TO TRUTH TELLING. THIS IS THE FRAMEWORK WE'LL BE SHARING IN [23:49] TRAINING DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE ON. [23:54] I WANTED TO SHARE A HIGH-LEVEL TIMELINE. THIS WAS SHARED LAST TIME. WE'RE DIRECTLY ON TIME. [24:01] QUARTER THREE OF 2025 WHICH STARTS THIS MONTH. WE'RE LAUNCHING OUR TRAINER SESSION. WE'LL HAVE A WEB-BASED LEARNING [24:08] GOING LIVE LATER THIS QUARTER. AND THEN START A PHASE ROLLOUT [24:13] IN-PERSON TRAINING WORKSHOPS FOR EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION IN Q4 OF 2025. [24:20] WITH THESE LEARNING CONTENT MODELS, WHAT'S INCLUDED IS A READINESS ASSESSMENT. SO [24:25] THROUGH A WEB-BASED MODEL, EMPLOYEES WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTIONNAIRE THAT [24:31] TELLS THEM -- ASSESSES THEM AT WHICH MODULE THEY SHOULD START AT. ONE, TWO, THREE, OR FOUR. [24:38] THERE'S ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING CONTENT, WORKSHOP FACILITATION MATERIALS. SO THE [24:45] TRAINER-TO-TRAINER IS THE WORKSHOP MATERIALS THAT INDIVIDUALS GOING THROUGH THE TRAINING WILL HAVE. AND THEN [24:51] THERE'S THE AT-A-GLANCE, AND MEETING-IN A-BOX. THE MEETING IN A BOX IS FOR LEADERS WHO ARE [25:00] EMPLOYS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION CAN HAVE SOME TRAINING AROUND THEY FACILITATING HARMS [25:07] AROUND RAY RACE AND RACISM. THEY CAN DOWNLOAD MATERIAL AND [25:15] FACILITATE A THOUGHTFUL CONVERSATION. FOR THEIR OWN [25:22] TEAMS. SO WITH THE LEARNING CONTENT, ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE THE LEARNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. SO WITH [25:28] THE REPAIR HARM AND THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION, LEARNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. HERE YOU SEE THE LEARNING GOALS AND [25:34] OBJECTIVES FOR THE REPAIR HARM AND THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION LEARNING MODULES. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SHARE WITH YOU [25:39] ONE OF THE FOUR CASE STUDIES INCLUDED IN THE MODULE THAT EMPLOYEES MAY GO THROUGH WHEN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE [25:45] LEARNING EXPERIENCE. AND THIS IS A CASE STUDY, IT'S [25:50] FICTIONALIZED. ALL NAMES, EVENTS, AND SITUATIONS HAVE BEEN FABRICATED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF [25:56] FOUR. SO THE PROBLEM: DURING A COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD MEETING, A NEW CITY [26:03] INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS WERE DISCUSSING CONTRACTING AND [26:09] HIRING STRATEGIES FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. A SENIOR PROJECT CONSULTANT RESPONDED TO A QUESTION ABOUT WHY THERE ARE SO [26:15] FEW MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES WORKING ON CITY PROJECTS. WE HEARD THE BEST [26:21] CONTRACT IS FOR THE JOB. AND WE IF WE START FOCUSINGEN RACE AND GENDER TOO MUCH, WE'LL END UP [26:27] LOWERING OUR STANDARDS. THE NUMBERS ARE WHAT THEY ARE WAS THE RESPONSE FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE. THE COMMENT [26:34] LANDED POORLY IN THE ROOM. SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS SHIFTED UNCOMFORTABLLY WHILE OTHERS [26:41] VOICED THEIR FRUSTRATION. THE REPAIR HARM MODEL AND THOUGHTFUL [26:47] CONFRONTATION INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS GO THROUGH THE CASE STUDY AND HAVE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HOW TO APPLY THE REPAIR HARM AND THOUGHTFUL [26:53] CONFRONTATION MODEL TOLL SCENARIOS LIKE THAT. SO THEY ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION, THEY GO [26:58] THROUGH THE MOMENT OF CONFRONTATION, THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSES AND ESCALATION, ADDRESSING HARM, AND [27:04] ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES. AND THEN LONG-TERM IMPACT AND CHALLENGES. AND INCLUDED IN THE [27:10] TRAINING, WE WILL HAVE THE GENDER AND RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT. AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE LEARNING GOALS AND [27:17] OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES FROM THAT LEARNING MODULE. SO THE GENDER AND RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT [27:23] ASSESSMENT IS MORE THAN AN ASSESSMENT TOOL. IT'S A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO EMBEDDING EQUITY INTO OUR SYSTEMS AND [27:30] INSTITUTIONS. THROUGH IT, WE ASSESS HOW POWER AND PRIVILEGE INFLUENCE OUTCOMES, ENSURING OUR [27:36] DECISIONS DO NOT INADVERTENTLY [27:42] REENFORCE EXISTING DISPARITIES. IT'S A STRUCTURED FRAMEWORK DESIGNED TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF [27:47] POLICIES, PROGRAMS, AND DECISIONS ON DIFFERENT GENDER AND RACIAL GROUPS. AND IT IS A FOUR-STEP PROCESS OF DETERMINING [27:55] OUTCOMES AND STAKEHOLDERS, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND NARRATIVES, MEASURING BENEFITS [28:00] AND BURDENS, AND EVALUATING AND BEING ACCOUNTABLE. SO THERE'S A WHOLE SEPARATE LEARNING MODULE [28:08] FOR THE GREIA. WE ARE LAUNCHING TRAIN THE TRAINER OR TQ [28:14] COMPONENT. THIS EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION WHO WILL -- BEING TRAINED TO [28:21] FACILITATE LIVE IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS. WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES, ALL STAFF FROM REIB IN ASSISTANCE. [28:26] REPRESENTATIVE FROM HR LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, REG SERVICES, AND PUBLIC WORKS. ALL TOGETHER [28:32] ABOUT 17 EMPLOYEES. WE HAD THE FIRST TQ SESSION JULY LAST WEEK. [28:39] THE PAST MONDAY. AND THE FINAL DISCUSSION IS SCHEDULED TO WRAP UP AT THE END OF AUGUST. SO THIS COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING IS A [28:45] SUPPORT STAFF IN DEVELOPING LIVE WORKSHOPS. AND THIS TRAINER [28:50] COMPONENT CONSISTS OF TWO -- SIX TWO-HOUR TRAINING SESSIONS. AND INCLUDES DETAILED GUIDANCE ON [28:56] THE THOUGHTFUL REPAIR MODEL, GENDER AND RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT [29:04] ASSESSMENT. AND THE FINAL PIECE I HAVE FOR YOU ALL IS JUST A QUICK WALK [29:11] THROUGH AROUND THE COMPONENTS AND THE ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING. [29:20] ALL THE T THE CONTENT IS THE IN THE LEARNING LAB. EVERY [29:26] EMPLOYEE HAS ACCESS TO THIS. IT'S VIDEOS THAT ARE A PART OF THE LEARNING LAB. THERE'S THE [29:32] INDIVIDUAL MODULE. SO THE JOURNEY STARTS HERE WITH MODULE [29:38] ONE, TWO, AND THREE. THERE'S REPAIRING HARM, THOUGHT ABOUTFUL CONFRONTATION. THERE'S A [29:44] SEPARATE LEARNING MODEL ON THE GENDER AND RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT [29:49] ASSESSMENT. IT INCLUDES FOUR STUDIES. THERE'S "AT A GLANCE." MODELS IN A GLANCE. THERE'S [29:56] FAQS. UNDERSTANDING THAT SOME EMPLOYEES -- SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS. WE GATHERED [30:02] SOME FREQUENT I WILL ASKED FREQUENTLY ASKED. THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE MODEL. [30:09] ALL EMPLOYEES HAVE ACCESS. AND THEN FOLKS FROM OUR DEPARTMENT WILL BE ABLE TO OFFER LIVE [30:16] IN-PERSON FACILITATED TRAINING SESSIONS. SO AFTER EMPLOYEES MAY GO THROUGH THE WEB-BASED [30:21] CONTENT, THEY CAN CALL OUR DEPARTMENT UP AND REQUEST A LIVE IN-PERSON TRAINING. THERE MAY BE SOME OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE [30:28] CAN FACILITATE TO THE BROADER EMPLOYEES. SOME TRAINING SESSIONS. SO THERE'S WEB-BASED [30:35] LEARNING AND LIVE IN-PERSON TRAINING. THIS IS AN INSIDE [30:50] LOOK AT THE INTERWORKINGS OF THE REPAIR HARM MODULE. SO THINGS [30:58] INDIVIDUALS WILL COVER ON THE ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL SLIDE. WITH [31:04] THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CORBETT. [31:12] JUST LOOKING, FIRST, TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY BEFORE I GET -- OH, I SEE VICE CHAIR PALMISANO. [31:19] >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CO [31:25] CORBETT, FOR THE PRESENTATION. I RECALL YOU SAYING LAST YEAR AND THE BEGINNING HERE THAT THE FOCUS OF REIB IS TO BE INTERNAL [31:34] FACING. CHANGING THE CULTURE AND THE NORMS OF OUR ENTERPRISE, RIGHT, TO THEN GO AND ADDRESS [31:42] RACIAL CHALLENGES AND REPAIR IN ALL THE THINGS THEY DO. >> UH-HUH. [31:47] >> AND I TRULY DO SEE THIS HAPPENING. I TRULY DO SEE THIS [31:53] HAPPENING IN THINGS LIKE THE 3-1-1 CONVERSATIONS, IN THE [31:58] METAMORPHOSIS TRAINING, AND THE GEORGE FLOYD REMEMBRANCE, AND THE TRAIN THE TRAINER WORK. BUT [32:06] I SEE SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES, LIKE STORY CORPS. IS KIND OF THE EXAMPLE YOU GAVE ARE PARTIALLY [32:12] OR ALMOST ENTIRELY EXTERNAL FACING. AND SO I'M JUST CURIOUS [32:19] HOW DO YOU SEE THAT AS THE HEAD OF THIS DEPARTMENT? DO YOU FEEL YOUR WORK IS BEING PULLED IN TWO [32:25] SEPARATE DIRECTIONS? OR DO YOU [32:31] FEEL LIKE THIS IS EFFECTIVE? LIKE, DOES IT MEET YOUR VISION STATEMENT WHEN YOU GO BACK TO IT? BECAUSE I FIND YOU TO BE [32:36] VERY GROUNDED IN HOW YOU START AND PRESENT THE WORK OF YOUR DEPARTMENT. DO YOU FEEL [32:44] PULLED IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS OR AM I SEEING IT WRONG? >> THANK YOU CH. BACKGROUND [32:51] AROUND STORY CORPS. STORY [32:56] CORPS. WE STARTED THE PROJECT AND INITIATIVE. CONVERSATIONS [33:02] STARTED LAST APRIL OR MAY. IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY FUNDS THAT REIB RECEIVED [33:07] FOR TRUTH, HEALING, AND RECONCILIATION. THERE WAS PARAMETERS HOW THE PUBLIC SAFETY FUNDS CAN BE UTILIZED. HAS TO [33:14] BE CONNECTED TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND TRUTH, HEALING, AND [33:19] RECONCILIATION. TRYING TO FIND THE BEST WAY TO FIND SOMETHING FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT [33:24] ENGAGES COMMUNITY. LIKE AROUND THE PUBLIC SAFETY FUNDS IS WHY THAT IS EXTERNAL FACING. AND [33:32] SAY, I DON'T HAVE ANY MAJOR PLANS OF DOING A LOT OF EXTERNAL KIND OF EVENTS FOR COMMUNITY. [33:39] THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST ONE, BESIDES THE NATIONAL DAY OF RACIAL HEALING AS THE ONE WE'RE [33:44] PARTNERING WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS. SO I WILL SAY, BEGINNING TO MAKE THIS SHIFT FROM DOING AT LOT OF [33:52] EXTERNAL-FACING THINGS OUR DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN DOING, TO BEING MORE INTENTIONAL WITH SUPPORTING ALL THE DEPARTMENTS [33:57] AND EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. WHY IS YOU SEE MORE INTERNALLY. STORY CORPS. WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST MAJOR [34:04] EXTERNAL INITIATIVE WE PLAN ON DOING. >> NOW I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. THE PSA MONEY. SO THANK YOU FOR [34:12] THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE EX EXPLANATION. >> UMM, I DID PUT MYSELF IN [34:18] QUEUE. AND, ACTUALLY, VICE CHAIR PALMISANO, YOU TEED UP -- WELL, A COMMENT. AND THEN HAVE [34:24] A QUESTION. UMM, BUT DEFINITELY IN THIS PRESENTATION SEE THE TRUTH, HEALING, AND [34:31] RECONCILIATION WORK, WHICH I KNOW MY OFFICE HAS BEEN PART OF THIS COUNCIL IN REALLY DEDICATING A LOT OF OUR TIME TO [34:38] FUND AND ADVANCE THIS AT THE REQUEST OF OUR RESIDENTS. TO SEE THIS THROUGH AND SEEING IN [34:44] THIS PRESENTATION OF THE YEAR IT'S ABSOLUTELY FOCUSED FORWARDS [34:50] THE INTERNAL, UMM, ENTERPRISE SIDE OF THINGS. AND I THINK THAT CORRELATES WITH REIB'S ALSO [34:58] CHANGING ORIENTATION TO FOCUS MORE ON INTERNAL. AND I ABSOLUTELY DO SEE, AGAIN, IN [35:03] THIS PROCESS, THE EXTERNAL PIECE BEING NEGLECTED. I HAD TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL [35:10] TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION WORKER RECOMMENDATIONS. THEY NAMED -- THEY WANTED AN EXTERNAL PROCESS. [35:15] AND THERE WAS, ACTUALLY, CONFLICT AROUND WHETHER OR NOT THE CITY SHOULD HAVE A ROLE IN LEADING THAT PROCESS. AND I [35:22] WILL NAME THAT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT I REGRET IN THIS WORK OF SUPPORTING THIS BEING [35:30] MOSTLY INTERNAL FOCUSED AND NEGLECTING THE EXTERNAL. ONE OF [35:35] THE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVING A TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION TO HAVE THAT VEHICLE [35:40] FOR RESIDENTS. REGULAR RESIDENTS TO ACTUALLY BE PART OF THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE CITY COME TO TERMS. NOT JUST ONGOING [35:49] HARMS COMMITTING BUT PAST. AND I WILL NAME THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING [35:55] ON USING OUR REFORM ABC PROCESS. THEY'RE CLEAR IN THE ASK. IT [36:02] DID GET OVERLAPPED IN SOME OF THIS. I GET STAFF NEEDING TRAINING. IT DOES FEEL LIKE AN [36:08] HR PROCESS MORE THAN ANYTHING HOW TO GIVE THEM TO A PLACE WHERE MAYBE THEY COULD, "YES, WE [36:16] DID RACIST THINGS AND STILL ARE." THOSE ARE MANIFESTED IN [36:22] THE PRESENTATION. AND PARTICULARLY THE DISPARITIES THAT IS SEEN THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAMS. THAT'S BEING LED OR [36:30] INITIATED THROUGH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. OR THE PROGRAMS WE ALSO DO WITHIN THAT IMPACTS OTHER EMPLOYEES OF COLOR. SO I [36:36] WILL NAME THAT'S A GAP THAT I'M SEEING IN THIS WORK. I FEEL LIKE I'VE ALWAYS NOTED THAT AND [36:42] WANTED TO SEE MORE EXTERNAL, UMM, LEADERSHIP ON THIS PROCESS. AND RECOGNIZING OUR OWN INTERNAL KIND OF GAPS. AND [36:50] I'M -- UMM, I JUST WANTED TO REGROUND, ALSO, THE CONVERSATION OF, LIKE, PSA IS A PIECE OF IT. [36:56] BUT IT CAME FROM 2021 WHERE THE CITY AND VICE CHAIR PALMISANO, YOU WAS HERE FOR THE PROCESS, [37:02] WHERE THE CITY BROUGHT TOGETHER RESIDENTS TO SAY "HOW SHOULD WE LEAD THE PROCESS" AND GAVE A [37:08] PRESENTATION WITH RECOMMENDATIONS. AND JUST LOOKING ALMOST FOUR YEARS LATER, NOT ALL OF THOSE HAVE BEEN [37:13] ENACTED. SO WANTED TO NOTE THAT. THIS IS AN ONGOING [37:20] CONVERSATION HOW WE CAN REVAMP. AND ONCE AGAIN, IT FEELS LIKE AN HR MATTER OF MORE TRAINING FOR [37:26] STAFF. I'M INTERESTED OF HOW THIS CAN ACTUALLY BE INTEGRATED INTO THE RCA PROCESS. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE HAD [37:32] CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT ON. SPECIFICALLY OVERSIGHT AND [37:37] EVALUATION. TO SAY HOW WE CAN START TRACKING THAT IS WHEN STAFF FILLS OUT THE RCA FOR [37:43] PROGRAMS AND PROSPECTS AND CONTRACTS THEY'RE ASKING THE BODY TO CONSIDER TO SEE HOW THEY'RE BEING INTENTIONAL OF HOW THEY'RE [37:49] ADDRESSING RACIAL AND ECONOMIC AND GENDER DISPARITIES. ARE YOU HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE [37:54] LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT HOW WE CAN FORMALIZE THIS? IN ADDITION TO THE MORE TRAINING ACTIVITIES [38:01] THAT YOU ALL ARE HONING IN ON WITH EMPLOYEES. >> AH, YES, CHAIR WONSLEY. UMM, [38:09] SO, YES. I AM IN A COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE. WE JUST MET A COUPLE OF [38:14] MONTHS AGO WITH REGARDS TO THE RCA AND THE REIA, AS WELL. SO I [38:21] UNDERSTAND THAT THE CLERK'S OFFICE IS JUST KIND OF BEGINNING TO LOOK AT REVAMPING THE [38:27] PROCESS. LIKE WITHIN THE RCA. ONE OF THE PIECES OF FEEDBACK THAT WAS SHARED, LIKE, AROUND [38:33] THE CURRENT REIA FOR THE RCA IS MANDATORY PROCESS. KIND OF IN [38:39] PLACE AROUND THE REIA. WHEN IT COMES TO CHANGES AROUND THIS IS WHAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THE [38:44] CLERK'S OFFICE. IF THERE'S CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT THE CURRENT PROCESS. LIKE, IT HAS TO COME FROM THE [38:50] CLERK'S OFFICE. UNDERSTANDING WITH LIMS, ET. CETERA. WE ARE WORKING ON THAT. AND THERE'S A WAY OF TAKING THE GREIA PART OF [38:59] THIS AND INCORPORATING THAT IN THE CHANGES THAT THE CLERK'S OFFICE IS WORKING ON. AND I WILL SAY, IN ADDITION, UMM, I'M [39:07] WORKING ON GETTING OUR ORGANIZATION TO UNDERSTAND. SO [39:12] A REIA IS A RACE EQUITY TOOL. THE TOOL IS JUST A SET OF QUESTIONS TO HELP INDIVIDUALS [39:18] THINK THROUGH THE RACIAL EQUITY IMPACTS OF A DECISION. AND IT SHOULD BE A RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT [39:24] STATEMENT INSTEAD OF, LIKE, FORCED QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO ANSWER. AND THE QUESTIONS HELP GUIDE PEOPLE TO [39:30] WHAT SHOULD GO, LIKE, IN THE STATEMENT. SO WORKING ON SOME, LIKE, ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE [39:35] CHANGE AROUND UNDERSTANDING FOR EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE ENTERPRISE, LIKE, A RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT [39:41] NOTE OR STATEMENT. VERSUS A RACIAL EQUITY TOOL. SO WE HAVE LEARNINGS AND TRAININGS COMING UP P AND THIS TRAINING, AS WELL, [39:47] IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN FACILITATE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE TO WRITE THE RCAS. SO [39:54] THERE'S CONNECTING PIECES AND, YES, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE LEGISLATIVE BODY AND THE CLERK'S OFFICE. >> AWESOME. AND THEN, UMM, I'LL [40:01] MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW UP WITH, UMM, CLERK KARL, TOO, TO SEE HOW WE CAN SUPPORT IN THAT WORK. I [40:07] THINK THIS HAS BEEN A MULTIYEAR, UMM, DESIRE IN TERMS OF, UMM, [40:12] HAVING MORE -- AND I WOULD SAY, ACTUALLY, THE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN HELPFUL AND USUALLY THE QUESTIONS HAVE STEMMED FROM OUR [40:19] STRATEGIC PLANS. WHERE WE SET GOALS AROUND DISPARITIES. AND NOW WE'VE HAD RECENT LEGAL [40:26] DECISIONS, ARE FROM OUR CITY'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS PUT THE PROCESS IN QUESTION. SO I THINK [40:32] THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT COME -- OR CHANGES THAT IS GOING TO ACCOMPANY NOT JUST THE REVAMP, [40:38] BUT IF WE'RE INTEGRATING COMPONENTS FROM THE GREIA INTO THAT, TOO. SO INVITATIONS OPEN [40:44] FOR COLLEAGUES WHO WANT TO BE PART OF THE PROCESS OR THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR CLERK'S OFFICE, TOO. SO WITH THAT, I'M [40:49] NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE IN QUEUE. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CORBETT, FOR THE PRESENTATION. I WILL [40:55] ASK THE CLERKS TO RECEIVE AND FILE THAT PRESENTATION. WE'LL [41:04] GO TO THE LAST ITEM, WHICH IS A CLOSED SESSION. SPECIFICALLY REGARDING OUR LABOR NEGOTIATIONS [41:11] INVOLVING THE POLICE OFFICER FEDERATION. AND BEFORE I MOVE TO CLOSE THE MEETING, I WILL [41:17] RECOGNIZE THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PROVIDE THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE REQUESTED CLOSED SESSION. [41:22] >> THANK YOU, CHAIR WONSLEY. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS CONSIDERATION OF STRATEGY FOR LABOR NEGOTIATIONS INVOLVING THE [41:30] MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICER'S FEDERATION. CONSIDERATION OF NEGOTIATIONS STRATEGIES OR DISCUSSION AND REVOULEZ BOAR [41:36] NEGOTIATION PROPOSALS MAY BE HELD IN A CLOSED SESSION UNDER MINNESOTA STATUTES SECTION [41:43] 13D03. IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE MEETING TO THE PUBLIC, MAJORITY OF THE COMMITTEE MUST VOTE TO CLOSE THE MEETING. AND DECIDING [41:49] WHETHER TO CLOSE THE MEETING FOR LABOR NEGOTIATION STRATEGY, THE COMMITTEE SHOULD WEIGH THE RIGHT [41:54] OF THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING, AGAINST THE NEED OF THE CITY TO RESERVE THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ITS LABOR [42:01] NEGOTIATION STRATEGY. . >> >>: THANK YOU, CITY ATTORNEY.
