[1:39] I'LL ALSO -- REMIND MY COLLEAGUES THAT WE'RE USING SPEAKER MANAGEMENT TODAY, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU SIGN

[1:47] IN. THE SINGLE ITEM ON OUR AGENDA TODAY IS AN UPDATE REGARDING MUD YEAR CHANGE ITEMS TO THE BUDGET. THERE WILL BE

[1:53] SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS SPEAKING, BUT I WILL INVITE OUR COO

[2:02] MARGARET ANDERSON-KELLIHER TO START US OFF. WELCOME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, VICE CHAIR KOSKI, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.

[2:08] IT'S GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. THESE ITEMS ARE ITEMS FROM 2025 THAT

[2:20] WERE IN THE BUDGET. THEY ARE EARMARKS, THEY ARE COUNCIL

[2:25] DIRECTED SPENDING IN SOME CASES. WE HAVE NOTED PARTICULARLY THE EARMARKS IN THIS. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT. VICE CHAIR KOSKI,

[2:30] LATE ON FRIDAY, YOU ASKED ABOUT METRICS, SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BEGOOD TO GET A COUPLE THINGS

[2:36] OUT OF THE WAY ABOUT THE METRICS AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT OF THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS. SO

[2:44] PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IS A PROCESS THAT NEEDS DATA TO GO WITH US, AND WHAT YOU'RE GOG -- WITH IT, AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING

[2:50] TO SEE IN THIS PRESENTATION IS A STATUS UPDATE ON THESE 2025 BUDGETED ITEMS. AS EVERYONE CAN

[2:57] REMEMBER, THE BUDGET WAS ENACTED IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, SO IN

[3:04] MANY CASES, THERE IS NO DATA AVAILABLE YET FOR THESE ITEMS. WE WILL TRY TO NOTE THAT FOR YOU

[3:10] WHERE THERE IS DATA AVAILABLE AND METRICS AVAILABLE THAT GIVE

[3:15] US SOME IDEA, BUT WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH A MEMO ON THAT SO THAT

[3:20] THE COUNCILMEMBERS CAN HAVE THAT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE

[3:26] REALLY NEED SIX MONTHS TO 12 MONTHS OF DATA TO BE ABLE TO

[3:31] KNOW IF THE PERFORMANCE METRICS ARE WORKING. NOW THERE ARE OTHER PERFORMANCE METRICS THAT

[3:37] ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, TO ALL OF YOU AS WELL. AND RIGHT NOW ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO

[3:43] LOOK AT THE MAYORAL DASHBOARD OF PRIORITIES THAT HAS ON IT ALREADY COMMUNITY SAFETY,

[3:48] UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS RESPONSES, CLIMATE ACTION,

[3:55] RECRUITMENT, OPIOID RESPONSE, AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY. AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF MEASURES OUT ON THAT. SOME OF THOSE

[4:00] CORRESPOND TO THESE ITEMS, BUT THESE ITEMS ARE DISTINCT FROM LAST YEAR'S BUDGET. AND JUST

[4:10] WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S AWARE OF THAT. SO TODAY'S ORDER IS THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE

[4:15] THAT SLIDE BECAUSE THE CITY ATTORNEY HAD NO CHANGES TO THEIR BUDGET LAST YEAR. AND THEN

[4:23] COMMISSIONER BARNETTE WILL COME UP AND SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. I WILL THEN RETURN AND TALK ABOUT

[4:29] A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT HAD EITHER ONE TO FOUR OR FIVE

[4:36] CHANGES SM. AND THEN I'LL BE JOINED BY MY COLLEAGUES

[4:43] COMMISSIONER CHAPLAIN SWEGZ DEPUTY CEO HJELLE SINCE DIRECTOR

[4:49] HANSEN IS ON A MUCH EARNED VACATION, AND THEN DIRECTOR SEXTON IS ALSO HERE. SINCE THOSE THREE ITEM AREAS, HEALTH,

[4:58] AS WELL AS CPED AND THE PW LINE

[5:04] ITEM, PUBLIC WORKS LINE ITEM HAVE MANY, MANY ITEMS, WE ASK THE DEPARTMENT HEADS TO BE HERE

[5:09] TO PRESENT IN PERSON. SO WE WILL GET STARTED. AGAIN, THE

[5:18] CITY ATTORNEY HAD NO CHANGES TO THEIR BUDGET OTHER THAN WHAT WAS

[5:25] RECOMMENDED. IT WAS RELATIVELY FLAT BUDGET FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. NO INCREASES. AND I'M GOING TO

[5:30] TURN THIS OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE, COMMISSIONER BARNETTE.

[5:38] >> WELCOME, COMMISSIONER. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR KOSKI AND

[5:43] OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS. GOOD

[5:48] AFTERNOON. I WILL START WITH

[5:57] EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE NO BUDGET ITEMS THERE FOR EMERGENCY

[6:04] MAPPING LT -- MANAGEMENT AND THAT IS THE SAME FOR EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER, 9-1-1 AS

[6:11] WELL. POLICE OF COURSE HAVE

[6:17] SEVERAL ITEMS THAT I WILL GO THROUGH. AS YOU KNOW, THE AUDIT COMPLIANCE CAPACITY IS IMPORTANT

[6:24] FOR THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. IF YOU VIEWED ELEFA'S COMMUNITY

[6:31] PRESENTATION OR WERE PRESENT FOR THAT PRESENTATION, THERE THEY

[6:38] GOT A QUESTION ABOUT AUDIT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF IT IS THAT MPD BE ABLE TO AUDIT ITSELF, SO

[6:43] YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE WERE TWO FTEs FOR 2025, AND THEN WE'RE

[6:53] ASKING FOR TWO IN 2026. THOSE TWO IN 2025 ARE COMPLIANCE

[7:00] SPECIALISTS. THE NEXT BOX DOWN, THE FIVE FTEs THERE IS FOR THE

[7:11] CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION ANALYSIS EVALUATION AND MONITORING OF OUR TRAINING COMPLIANCE. OUT OF

[7:16] THOSE FIVE POSITIONS, WE'VE HIRED ONE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

[7:23] SPECIALIST, THREE CIVILIAN INSTRUCTORS, THE JAQ IS COMPLETED, AND WE'RE WORKING ON

[7:30] AN LOA WITH THE UNION. ONE OTHER POSITION, THE TRAINING

[7:36] COORDINATOR POSITION, THE JAQ HAS BEEN COMPLETED, AND THE POSTING HAS BEEN UP SINCE

[7:43] JULY 21st ON THAT ONE. AS FAR AS THE NEXT ITEM, THE TWO FTEs

[7:49] THERE HAVE BEEN HIRED. THOSE WERE TO BACKFILL TWO CIVILIAN

[7:56] INVESTIGATOR POSITIONS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN HIRED. ONTO THE NEXT

[8:04] SLIDE. AS YOU KNOW, IN 2025 THE CITY TOOK AN APPROACH SIMILAR TO

[8:10] HENNEPIN COUNTY TO REPLICATE

[8:15] SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS THEY DID IN RESPONSE TO UNSHELTERED RESIDENTS, AND SO THE POLICE

[8:23] DEPARTMENT GOT SOME MONEY I BELIEVE ALSO REC SERVICES AND

[8:28] PUBLIC WORKS IN THEIR PUBLIC SOLID WASTE GOT SOME IN

[8:34] COORDINATION TO OUR RESPONSE HERE, AND THE MONEY THAT WAS USED IN MPD WAS TO GET SOME

[8:42] MOBILE LIGHTS AND CAMERAS THAT ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO MPD. NEXT

[8:50] IS AN FET. WE'VE HIRED

[8:56] THAT POSITION, AND THAT WAS FOR

[9:01] THE CRIME SPECIALIST THERE. THE LAST BOX THERE, THE FIVE FTEs

[9:07] FOR CIVILIAN INVESTIGATORS, THREE ARE THOSE POSITIONS HAVE

[9:15] BEEN INTERVIEWED, TWO ARE PENDING A RESOURCE EVALUATION. AS YOU KNOW, TWO POSITIONS WERE

[9:22] TAKEN OUT AT MPD I BELIEVE TO FUND THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE OR MOVE TO THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, SO

[9:32] WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT LOSS. THEN WE MOVE ONTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AS YOU KNOW, A BEHAVIORAL CRISIS

[9:40] RESPONSE PROGRAM WAS TRANSFERRED TO FIRE. THAT TRANSFER HAS BEEN

[9:47] COMPLETE. I THINK COMING UP THIS THURSDAY TO FULL COUNCIL, THEY'LL BE THE BCR CONTRACT

[9:55] EXTENSION THROUGH AUGUST OF 2026, AND SO THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU. NEXT FOR FIRE IS

[10:08] THE SAFER GRANT. THAT GRAMENT AS -- AS YOU KNOW THAT GRANT IS FOR THREE YEARS. THAT GRANT

[10:15] WILL END IN APRIL OF 2026 SO WE'LL NEED FUNDING FOR THOSE 15 FIREFIGHTERS THAT THE GRANT HAS

[10:22] FUNDEDED FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND THAT'LL BE IN THE MAYOR'S 2026 BUDGET. MOVING ON

[10:30] TO NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY. AS YOU KNOW IN NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY,

[10:36] BECAUSE I BELIEVE SEVERAL CONTRACTS HAVE COME THROUGH AS PART OF THE MASTER CONTRACT, SO

[10:42] THOSE FIRST COUPLE THAT YOU SEE THERE, WHITTIER, PUBLIC SAFETY

[10:47] RESPONSE, THE MID-TOWN PHILLIPS BALANCE PREVENTION AND SAFETY SERVICES, THE LONGFELLOW

[10:54] NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY INITIATIVE, AND THE HIAWATHA NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY INITIATIVE, ALL OF THOSE

[10:59] ARE PART OF THAT MASTER CONTRACT

[11:06] IN THE LAST MONTH OR TWO. THE LAST TWO ITEMS THERE, LET EVERYONE ADVANCE WITH DIGNITY,

[11:13] THAT CONTRACT -- THAT HAS BEEN DONE. ALSO THE STAFF CAPACITY

[11:18] WHERE YOU SEE TWO FTEs WERE TRANSFERRED TO NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY. THOSE POSITIONS HAVE BEEN HIRED. THAT WAS THE

[11:24] BUSINESS DATA ANALYSIS -- ANALYST AND ALSO THE CONTRACT

[11:33] ADMINISTRATOR. FOR THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, ON THUS

[11:44] SLIDE YOU'LL SEE AT THE START, THE SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES WORK GROUP

[11:54] $25,000 THERE HAD COME FROM ALSO -- WELL LET ME BACK UP MAYBE EXPLAIN IT BETTER. IF YOU LOOK AT THE SECOND BOX WHERE IT SAYS CAPACITY BUILDING, THERE WE

[12:04] WOULD ASK FOR $50,000 IN THE 2025 BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAD SPENT

[12:10] ABOUT $100,000 IN 2024 AROUND

[12:19] ENGAGEMENT, WE DID LOT OF ENGAGEMENT AROUND THE SAFETY CENTERS WITH AMANDA HARRINGTON BEING THE DIRECTOR OF DESIGN AND

[12:25] IMPLEMENTATION. SO OUT OF THAT, $25,000 WAS APPROPRIATED TO THE

[12:30] SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITY WORK GROUP. THAT WORK GROUP I

[12:36] BELIEVE WILL HAVE THEIR FIRST MEETING THIS MONTH, AND THE

[12:42] REMAINDER OF THE 25 -- OF THE $50,000 WILL CONTINUE TO USE IN

[12:48] THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FOR THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOTED

[12:55] THERE, WE'LL DO SUPPLIES AND SOME OPERATION EXPENSES AND PRINTING MATERIALS AND THINGS

[13:00] LIKE THAT, LIKE WE'VE DONE BEFORE. THE BACKGROUND CHECK,

[13:07] WE CONTINUE DOING THOSE THINGS WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS. WE

[13:14] MOVED AND PURCHASED SOFTWARE AND IMPLEMENTED THAT SOFTWARE. IF YOU OR YOUR STAFF HAVE DONE ANY

[13:19] OF THOSE BACKGROUND CHECKS, YOU USED TO GET A NICE SIZE BINDER

[13:26] PAPER BINDER TO FILL OUT. WE'VE MOVED THAT SO THAT IT CAN BE DONE ELECTRONICALLY. WE CAN

[13:35] CAPTURE THAT DATA, COLLECT IT, STORE IT AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE MPD APPLICANTS THAT WAY.

[13:43] NEXT TWO POSITIONS THAT WERE TAKEN LAST YEAR WERE BACKFILLED FROM THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY

[13:48] SAFETY. THAT'S DONE. THE LAST

[13:54] ITEM HERE IS THE NIGHTTIME SAFETY STRATEGIES. WHAT WE DID THIS YEAR WAS WE WORKED WITH MINNEAPOLIS DID TO SCALE BACK OR

[14:03] SCALE DOWN THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT LIVE. WE'VE WORKED

[14:11] WITH OUR INSPECTORS IN UPTOWN AND DINKY TOWN TO INCREASE SOME

[14:19] PATROLS THERE. ALSO WE'RE LOOKING WITH THE U ON SOME OF THEIR SAFETY INITIATIVE AS WELL.

[14:25] THAT COMPLETES MY PORTION. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I'M GOING TO JUST, JUST DO QUESTIONS

[14:32] FOR YOU AT THIS TIME, SO THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO -- >> THAT'S FINE. >> -- HANG AROUND FOR A BIT. I

[14:38] SEE COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE IS IN QUEUE. >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR KOSKI. YEAH, I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE

[14:45] SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR BCR. I KNOW THAT THE CONTRACT WAS UNDER ACTIVE NEGOTIATION. IT WAS KIND

[14:51] OF UNCLEAR ON HOW WE MIGHT IMPLEMENT THAT AMENDMENT. CAN YOU JUST UPDATE, YOU KNOW, ARE

[14:57] WE INCORPORATING THOSE PROGRAM COSTS INTO THE NEW CONTRACT? WERE WE ABLE TO DO AN

[15:03] APPROPRIATION MIDSTREAM? I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE TECHNICAL PLACE WE'RE AT ON THAT.

[15:09] >> CHAIR KOSKI, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE, WHAT WE DID WAS

[15:16] THE CONTRACT FOR BCR HAD A MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR EACH YEAR, SO

[15:24] IT'LL COME TO YOU I THINK THURSDAY IN WHICH WE TOOK THE

[15:30] $945,000 TO INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT SO THAT WE COULD EXCEED THE FUNDING FOR BCR. IN

[15:39] OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH BCR, THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT

[15:46] WHAT CAN THEY PRESENT FOR ONE TIME FUNDING. I THINK THERE WAS MAYBE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING OR

[15:53] CONFUSION THAT THIS WAS ONE-TIME FUNDING, AND SO WE'RE WORKING TO

[15:58] FIGURE THAT OUT RIGHT NOW. IF THAT'S HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. >> OKAY. I'LL JUST KEEP AN EYE

[16:04] ON WHAT THAT ACTION LOOKS LIKE IN THE NEXT CYCLE OR SO. >> YES, YES.

[16:09] >>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN? >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR KOSKI. APOLOGIES I GOT HERE LITTLE BIT

[16:15] THROUGH YOUR PRESENTATION, COMMISSIONER, SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN JUST REMIND ME WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE FIFTH PRECINCT

[16:20] CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALIST THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR. I DO SEE ONE FETHIRED HERE IN THE CHART.

[16:26] THIS IS ON PAGE 8. HOWEVER. YOU KNOW, I, YOU KNOW, LIVE IN THE FIFTH PRECINCT AND HAVE

[16:33] CHECKED THE WEB SITE OFTEN AND TALKED TO CRIME PREVENTION

[16:38] SPECIALIST AND SEEN THAT A NEW CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALIST HAS BEEN LISTED OBAMA WEB SITE OR INTRODUCED IPCOMMUNITIES SO I'M

[16:45] JUST WONDERING WHERE THAT'S AT. >> LET ME BOW GO BACK TO

[16:51] THAT ONE. >> YES. >> I KNOW THAT MY NOTES, I'M

[16:57] SORRY, CHAIR, CHAIR KOSKI. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, MY NOTES

[17:04] JUST SHOWS THAT THAT POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED. I WILL TRY TO GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU

[17:10] BECAUSE IT SAYS CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALIST, THAT POSITION'S BEEN

[17:15] HIRED FOR. SO. >> CAN YOU SHARE THEIR NAME OR CONTACT INFORMATION WITH ME? >> THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR

[17:21] RIGHT NOW. >> NOT TODAY BUT NOTE THAT ONE FOR FOLLOW-UP SO THAT WE CAN START TO WORK WITH THIS

[17:29] INDIVIDUAL. YES. >> OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COLLEAGUES FOR THE

[17:34] COMMISSIONER? I AM NOT SEEING ANY, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[17:40] APPRECIATE IT. AND I'LL JUST NOTE BECAUSE IF YOU MIGHT BE LEAD, I'LL ADD TO THE MEMO --

[17:48] LEAVE, I'LL ADD TO THE MEMO THE COO INDICATED THAT WOULD JUST LIKE TO CONNECT THE PROGRESS TO THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES OF METRICS

[17:55] THAT WERE IN THE BUDGET BOOK. ANY AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE AND UNDERSTANDING THE, MONTH 8.

[18:07] UNDERSTANDING AND SOME THINGS GOT STOPPED LAST MONTH SO IF WE COULD GET AN UPDATE PER EACH OF

[18:13] THESE CHANGE ITEMS ON THAT THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> YES, CHAIR. >> I'LL MAKE SURE I GET THAT MEMO TO THE -- THANK YOU.

[18:18] THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE CHAIR KOSKI, I'M RETURNING UP HERE. I DID WANT

[18:26] TO TALK ABOUT THE CODE THAT YOU HAVE. SO ANYTHING GREEN IS IN

[18:32] PROGRESS. IT IS STILL ACTIVELY IN PROGRESS, IN SOME CASES IT'S IN CONTRACTING, IN OTHER CASES IT'S PARTWAY THROUGH A PROJECT.

[18:39] IF YOU SEE A STAR OVER THE GREEN, THAT MEANS WE CONSIDER THAT ITEM COMPLETE. IT MAY NOT

[18:47] HAVE A LOT OF DATA WITH IT YET, BUT IT IS COMPLETE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF EITHER HIRE HAS

[18:52] BEEN MADE, OR AN ITEM HAS BEEN PURCHASED. WHATEVER'S BEING

[18:58] NOTED. YELLOW WOULD INDICATE THAT WE ARE RUNNING INTO SOME ISSUES ON BUDGET ITEM FROM LAST

[19:05] YEAR, AND RED WOULD MEAN THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE

[19:10] IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE IN 2025. SO I WILL

[19:16] CONTINUE ON FOR EVERYONE, THAT

[19:22] LITTLE KEY IS ACTUALLY IN THE FRONT OF THE PRESENTATION AS WELL. SO YOU KNOW, CATCH US UP,

[19:28] SORRY THAT WAS LITTLE FAST. THANK YOU FOR $30,000 IN

[19:35] CAPACITY BUILDING IN THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC SERVICE. WE'VE BEEN USING THAT FOR LEADERSHIP

[19:40] DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR TEAM AS WELL AS COACHING IN SOME CASES AS,

[19:47] AND THEN ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE TOOLS WE NEED TO DO OUR WORK FOR THE CITY. SO WE,

[19:55] WHEN THESE OFFICES WERE SET UP, I CAN YOU CAN SEE A THEME THERE BETWEEN OCS, OFFICE OF COMMUNITY

[20:01] SAFETY, AND OPS, THEY DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHT ABOUT THE

[20:07] OTHER AUXILZY BUDGET ITEMS THEY WOULD NEED. 3-1-1 SERVICE

[20:14] CENTER HAD TWO POSITIONS BUDGETED FOR THE NEW SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY

[20:20] CENTER. THIS HAS A LITTLE BUT OF A DIFFERENT CODE BECAUSE IT'S ON TRACK BUT THAT IS NOT GOING

[20:26] TO OPEN THIS YEAR, SO WE ARE HOLDING THAT. THOSE RESOURCES, AND JUST HANGING ONTO THEM UNTIL

[20:34] WE ARE READY TO HIRE FOR THOSE POSITIONS. THIS IS PART OF WHAT MAKES THIS A FULL SERVICE CENTER

[20:41] IS HAVING THE 3-1-1 SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ARTS

[20:50] AND CULTURE HAD A FEW PROGRAMS THAT WERE FUNDED LAST YEAR. THE CIVIC ARTS PROGRAM AND THAT HAS

[20:57] BEEN DISBURSED FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS, INCLUDING ARTS

[21:03] LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, STATE OF BLACK DESIGN, NATIONAL INDEPENDENT VENUE ASSOCIATION

[21:08] CONFERENCE, AND OTHERS. AND WE CAN GET A BREAKDOWN OF THAT FOR YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT IN

[21:14] TERMS OF EACH OF THOSE THINGS. WE ALSO HAD THE MUCH LOVED

[21:19] VIBRANT STOREFRONTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICTS FUNDING, AND THAT HAS BEEN GOING VERY WELL.

[21:27] $700,000 OF THAT HAS BEEN DISBURSED AT THIS POINT. WE RECEIVED OVER 275 APPLICANTS FOR

[21:33] THE PROGRAM FOR THAT $700,000, AND OBVIOUSLY WE COULDN'T FUND

[21:39] ALL OF THOSE PROPOSALS. THERE

[21:45] ALSO IS JUST A LITTLE UNDER $500,000 THERE THAT IS GOING TO BE REMAINING FUNDS THAT THE ARE

[21:50] GOING TO ALSO BE ARTS ACTIVATIONS, VIBRANT STORE FRNTSZ RELATED WORK. AND THEN

[21:57] ALSO THE ART PRESERVATION AT GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE THAT'S BIP GOING ON ONGOING. JUST GIVE ME

[22:05] ONE SECOND TO CATCH MYSELF UP.

[22:11] ONE MORE ITEM FOR ARTS AND CULTURE. AND THAT IS THE COALS

[22:17] CENTER OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING AND I KNOW YOU, THE COUNCIL JUST ACTED ON CONTRACT FOR A NEW OPERATOR, BUT WE DO

[22:23] HAVE SOME OTHER EXPENSES RELATED TO THAT. OBVIOUSLY HOLDING THE

[22:30] BUILDING FOR THE YEAR. MAKING SURE IT SAID SECURE AND SAFE AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS AS WELL AS

[22:36] WORKING WITH THIS PROJECT OF MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE

[22:43] CONTINUED DANCE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS IN DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS AND SURROUNDING AREA, AND THEN

[22:50] THE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THE PUBLIC THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING FOR THE DANCE PROGRAM THAT WAS

[22:56] PART OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT WHEN COLE'S OPENED. THIS

[23:02] FUNDING WENT TOWARD -- $350,000 OF THIS WENT TOWARDS KEEPING THAT GOING DURING THIS

[23:11] YEAR. LET'S SEE. ASSESSING THERE WERE NO CHANGES.

[23:18] COMMUNICATIONS, CULTURAL MEDIA PROGRAMMING, AND THIS IS

[23:23] UNDERWAY. THIS WAS AN INCREASE MEANT TO MAINTAIN THE EXPANSION OF THE EAST AFRICAN CULTURAL

[23:29] MEDIA FUNDING, AND THAT IS ONGOING. WORK. CIVIL RIGHTS

[23:35] HAD A NUMBER OF ITEMS. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH BACKGROUND

[23:42] CHECKS. THE BACKGROUND CHECKS WERE PARTICULARLY FOR AND THAT

[23:48] CONTRACT WAS EXECUTED IN MARCH. FOR OPCR STAFF TO WORK WITH HR

[23:55] FOR INCOMING STAFF MEMBERS. THERE'S ALSO THE SMALL BUSINESS HIGH ROAD LABOR STANDARDS

[24:02] PROGRAM AND PROJECT, AND THAT CONTRACT WAS EXECUTED AND

[24:08] AMENDED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD

[24:14] DEVELOPMENT CENTER FOR THAT. EIGHT SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN SERVED ALREADY, AND WE CAN GET

[24:19] YOU MORE DETAIL ON THAT. CIVIL RIGHTS TRAINING AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT. THIS OF

[24:26] COURSE HAS BEEN VERY IMPORTANT FOR OPCR AS WELL AS MAKE SURE

[24:32] THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH -- MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE NATIONAL PARTNER, THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CIVIL

[24:39] RIGHTS OVERSIGHT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAININGS THAT WE BROUGHT IN AFTER THE RESET OF

[24:45] THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT. AND THEN THERE'S A NUMBER OF FUTURE TRAININGS ALSO PLANNED TO

[24:51] BE DONE WITH THESE RESOURCES. AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAVE THE

[24:57] LABOR STANDARDS DIVISION AND THE COENFORCEMENT WORK THAT IS ONGOING WITH CTUL, AND MORE THAN

[25:06] 1,000 HOURS HAVE BEEN LOGGED ON THAT, AND 500 HOURS LOGGED IN

[25:14] NAVIGATION SERVICES FOR CONCERNS TO CONNECT THEM WITH THE LABOR STANDARDS DIVISION OF CIVIL

[25:20] RIGHTS. FINANCE AND PROPERTY SERVICES HAD TWO ITEMS. THE

[25:25] MOBILE SECURITY TEAM, AND THOSE

[25:31] FOUR EMPLOYEES HAVE ALL BEEN HIRED AND ARE WORKING WITH US, AND THE FIRST PRECINCT CUSTODIAL

[25:37] STAFFING, WHICH AS YOU ALL KNOW, WHEN WE BRING A NEW BUILDING ONLINE, WE ALSO HAVE TO ACCOUNT

[25:42] FOR THE SERVICES THAT GO WITH IT, LIKE CUSTODIAL, AND SO THAT IS WHAT THIS IS GOING TOWARDS.

[25:50] THE FIRST PRECINCT IS JUST GETTING UP AND RUNNING, SO THAT CUSTODIAL STAFFING IS GETTING

[25:55] ROLLING RIGHT NOW. HUMAN

[26:01] RESOURCES HAD A CAPACITY BUILDING POSITION THAT THEY NEEDED, AND THAT POSITION IS THE

[26:07] LABOR RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE, AND ADDITIONAL LABOR REP THAT

[26:14] WAS CREATED, AND THAT POSITION HAS BEEN HIRED AND THAT PERSON IS WORKING WITH US. I WANT TO GO BACK ON JUST ONE

[26:21] ITEM. I, WHEN I READ IT I DID THINK I HAD SEEN SOMETHING FROM

[26:26] KAYLA ON THIS THAT ACTUALLY 37 BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN ASSISTED

[26:32] UNDER THE SYBIL RIGHTS SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM NOW, AND I THINK THOSE ARE STRONG NUMBERS.

[26:40] WHEN WE WERE FIRST WRITING THIS, WE BELIEVED IT WAS EIGHT BUT IT ACTUALLY IS 37. INFORMATION

[26:47] TECHNOLOGY. SO DATA SAFETY PUBLIC SAFETY DATA

[26:53] TRANSFORMATION PROJECT. THIS POSITION, ONE OF THESE POSITIONS IS IN THE JAQ PROCESS RIGHT NOW.

[27:00] SO THREE ARE IN PROCESS. ONE WILL BE SLATED OUT INTO 2027. SO THREE PEOPLE WILL START IN

[27:07] 2025. AND THEN THERE'LL BE A 2027 START DUE TO KIND OF WHERE

[27:13] THE WORKLOAD IS IN THAT TRANSFORMATION. AND THEN AS WELL AS ENTERPRISE-WIDE

[27:19] CONFERENCE ROOM MODERNIZATION AND SUPPORT, THAT FTE IS IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW. IGR HAD

[27:29] VERY SMALL ADJUSTMENT FOR THE CLIMATE LEGACY INITIATIVE. THIS, AND STILL IMPORTANT TO US

[27:36] BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE THROUGH THE IIJA, AND WE ARE ROLLING

[27:46] THAT INTO OUR EXISTING CONTRACT WITH OUR CONTRACTOR WHO DOES WORK TO HELP US FIND THOSE

[27:53] DOLLARS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

[28:00] NCR. THERE ARE A FEW ITEMS HERE. AND I'M GOING TO DO THIS ONE TOO JUST BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS OUR LONGEST SLIDE OF

[28:07] ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE ONE THAT HAS, YOU KNOW, LIKE 20 ITEMS OR 30 ITEMS. SO THE LABOR WELCOME

[28:14] CENTER. WE ARE WORKING WITH PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS. THE RFP WILL BE RELEASED IN

[28:19] SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. WHICH IS JUST NEXT MONTH. BLUE LINE

[28:26] LRT ANTI-DISPLACEMENT WORK, THE RFP IS STILL SET YET FOR THIS SUMMER. IT'S GOING TO BE RELEASED IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST

[28:34] YET. SENIOR SERVICES AND COMMUNITY NAVIGATORS. EIGHT

[28:39] ORGANIZATIONS WERE SELECTED FOR CONTRACT AWARDS THAT WERE AUTHORIZED BY THE COUNCIL.

[28:45] IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES, THIS ADDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO OUR

[28:52] CAPACITY, AND IS WELL UNDER CONTRACT. AND THEN DRIVERS

[28:58] LICENSE EDUCATION AND ACCESS, TWO ORGANIZATIONS WERE SELECTED FOR CONTRACT AWARDS TO ASSIST US

[29:04] WITH THAT WORK. PMI, PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND

[29:11] INNOVATION, HAD BOTH THE SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES GAP ANALYSIS. THIS IS A, THIS IS

[29:20] FUNDING FOR ONE YEAR OF THE EMBEDDED SOCIAL WORKER AS WELL AS OTHER WORK AROUND THE SAFE

[29:28] AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES, THE PROJECT TEAM SPECIFICALLY MADE A

[29:35] TRIP TO CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, TO SHADOW THE

[29:40] SIBILLION CRASH INVESTIGATORS THERE. AND THAT HAPPENED IN JULY. SO MORE INFORMATION WILL BE COMING ON THAT. AND THEN WE

[29:47] HAD A NUMBER OF PSA BACKFILL POSITIONS HERE AS WELL THAT

[29:53] NEEDED TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR FROM PREVIOUS BUDGET ACTIONS. NO

[30:01] INCREASED TO RACIAL EQUITY INCLUSION AND BELONGING. REG

[30:07] SERVICES. REGULATORY SERVICES HAD THREE ITEMS. THE UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS

[30:12] RESPONSE, THERE WAS AN FTE HIRED THERE. ANOTHER IS IN PROCESS

[30:18] CURRENTLY. AND THEN THE AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP PRESERVATION PROGRAM, CONTRACT

[30:25] HAS BEEN AWARDED IN JUNE, AND THEN WE WILL START THE RFP

[30:30] PROCESS ON ANOTHER PORTION OF THIS MONEY GOING FORWARD THAT IS

[30:36] A CROSSOVER THAT WILL INCLUDE

[30:41] CDBG FUNDS AS WELL AS FINANCES WORKING ON A PORTION OF THIS.

[30:49] SAFE WORKING PILOT PROJECT HAS NOT STARTED PENDING COUNCIL ORDINANCE AMENDMENT THAT WILL

[30:54] ALLOW FOR OUTDOOR PARKING.

[31:01] DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO TRAFFIC CONTROL. SO THAT IS WHY THAT IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW YELLOWS IN THIS WHOLE REPORT IN TERMS OF

[31:08] BUDGET ITEMS.

[31:20] PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. >> THANK YOU. WELCOME,

[47:45] I THINK I'LL JUST WAIT UNTIL PUBLIC WORKS FINISHES AND THEN I'LL GO TO QUESTIONS FOR EVERYONE. WELCOME, DIRECTOR.

[47:53] >>> THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR KOSKI, COUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS TIM SEXTON. SERVE AS DIRECTOR OF

[47:58] PUBLIC WORKS. SO WE HAVE IN PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE 2025 BUDGET

[48:04] WE HAD 11 CHANGE ITEMS TO WORK THROUGH. I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THAT ALL 11R ON TRACK. THEY

[48:10] WERE A COMBINATION OF GENERAL FUND, ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AND CLIMATE LEGACY INITIATIVE FUNDED

[48:17] ITEMS. OOPS. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT, SO STARTING WITH OUR

[48:24] TRAFFIC SAFETY CAMERAS, LITTLE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS, WAS

[48:29] ADDED TO FUND IMPLEMENTATION OF TRAFFIC SAFETY, THE TRAFFIC SAFETY CAMERA PILOT THAT WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE LEGISLATURE

[48:35] LAST YEAR. AS PART OF OUR GOAL TO REDUCE TRAFFIC DEATHS AND

[48:40] SERIOUS INJURIES ON OUR STREETS WE'RE STARTING WITH SPEED SAFETY CAMERAS, THIS YEAR I THINK FOLKS

[48:45] HAVE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THIS I HOPE, BUT FIVE CAMERAS ARE PLANNED TO BE ROLLED OUT IN

[48:51] SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. SO THAT REMAINS ON TRACK MORE TO COME IN

[48:58] 2026 WHERE WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY A $1.9 MILLION BUDGET. THE GOAL ULTIMATELY FOR THAT PROGRAM I

[49:05] WILL MENTION IS TO BE COST NEUTRAL AS THERE IS A REVENUE

[49:10] COMPONENT THAT WILL BEGIN OVER TIME. NEXT ITEM WE HAVE SURFACE WATER AND SEWER. STAFFING

[49:17] SUPPORT. AND THIS IS REALLY TRIGGERED BY ADDITIONAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FROM THE MINNESOTA

[49:23] POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY AND EPA. SO WE NEED TO DO MORE WORK AROUND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

[49:29] BEST PRACTICES AND PERMIT REQUIREMENTS. SO WE ARE ON TRACK TO HAVE SEVEN POSITIONS

[49:35] HIRED TO MEET THOSE NEW REQUIREMENTS. ALL ARE HIRED OR IN PROCESS: FOR EV CHARGING THAT

[49:42] WAS FUNDED THROUGH THE CLIMATE LEGACY INITIATIVE, THIS IS MEANT TO SUPPORT AND EXPAND ELECTRIC

[49:48] VEHICLE CHARGING THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WORK IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY TO INSTALL ONE TO THREE

[49:54] NEW EV CHARGING HUB SITES BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR.

[50:00] ANOTHER CLIMATE LEGACY INITIATIVE FUNDED EFFORT WAS AROUND ZERO WASTE PLANNING, AND

[50:05] THE GOAL OF THIS ONE WAS TO REALLY EVALUATE ZERO WASTE FUNDING AND SUSTAINABILITY

[50:11] ACTIVITIES AND INVEST IN LOCAL WASTE REDUCTION PROJECTS TO PREVENT, YOU KNOW, REUSABLE, RECYCLABLE, AND COMPOSTABLE

[50:17] MATERIALS FROM ENTERING OUR WASTE STREAM. ALLOWING US TO GET TO THAT ZERO WASTE FUTURE.

[50:23] THERE ARE THREE PARTS OF THAT EFFORT, ALL THREE ARE UNDERWAY. IT INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING WHAT A

[50:29] ZERO WASTE FUNDING MECHANISM COULD LOOK LIKE MOVING FORWARD. COMMUNITY WASTE REDUCTION

[50:35] GRANTS, SO FUNDING COMMUNITY GROUPS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN IDEAS AND HELP US UNDERSTAND THAT PATH FORWARD BASED ON SORT

[50:42] OF A BOTTOM UP APPROACH TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING AROUND ZERO WASTE,

[50:47] AND DOING A RECYCLING AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. NEXT EWE HAVE AN

[50:53] EARMARK AROUND UN UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE CLEAN-UP. THIS IS

[51:00] MEANT TO COVER EQUIPMENT AND STAFF TIME FOR ENCAMPMENT SITE MAINTENANCE AND CLEAN-UP. SO WE

[51:06] HAVE PURCHASED A BOBCAT WHICH IS A SMALL TRACT VEHICLE WITH A SCOOP ON THE FRONT ALONG WITH

[51:14] FUNDING FOR FOUR PEOPLE AT A QUARTER TIME EACH TO DO THAT WORK. NEXT UP WE HAVE AN

[51:26] ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENTS. SO

[51:32] WE HAVE THESE PRIVATE LEAD SERVICE LINES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IT'S A HUGE EXPENSE TO REPLACE THO, THOSE, SO

[51:40] SO FAR WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCES. THIS POSITION IS TO HEPPE HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE, AND

[51:45] HELP GET THEM SORT OF, HELP THEM TO COMPLETE THAT WORK SO THAT

[51:50] WOULD FUND ONE WATER LOSS SPECIALIST IN OUR WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES DIVISION TO SUPPORT THAT LEAD SERVICE LINE

[51:56] REPLACEMENT WORK. THE POSITION WAS HIRED IN APRIL, AND IS

[52:01] CURRENTLY WORKING IN THE FIELD. NEXT WE HAVE A PUBLIC SERVICE --

[52:08] EXCUSE ME, PUBLIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENT LOW BARRIER EMPLOYMENT PILOT. THIS IS A NEW

[52:17] PROGRAM. THE EARMARK DIRECTED US TO CREATE A NEW PILOT PROGRAM TO HIRE ADULTS WHO ARE

[52:23] ENCOUNTERING HOUSING INSTABILITY AND WORKING WITH THOSE, THAT ORGANIZATION OR THOSE PEOPLE TO CLEAN UP TRASH, GRAFFITI, AND DO

[52:29] OTHER CLEAN CITY TYPE OF WORK, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH SIDE

[52:34] GREEN ZONE. NOW THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM SO WE ARE PLANNING TO POST THAT RFP THIS FALL, AND

[52:42] INTO -- ENTER INTO AGREEMENT BY THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR. WE DO HAVE $285,000 THAT WAS

[52:50] ALLOCATED FOR THIS WORK. WE DO NOT EXPECT TO SPEND THAT FULL AMOUNT THIS CALENDAR YEAR, BUT

[52:55] IF WE GET -- WE DO PLAN TO HAVE A CONTRACTOR UNDER CONTRACT ON

[53:01] BOARD SO THAT THOSE FUNDS COULD BE ROLLED FORWARD. NEIGHBORHOOD

[53:08] TRAFFIC CALMING. SO THIS $1.5 MILLION WAS MET TO COMPLETE

[53:13] MORE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECTS. I THINK MANY

[53:19] OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS BUT THIS IS CONSTRUCTION OF SPEED HUMPS AND TRAFFIC CIRCLES. THIS WORK IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

[53:25] WE ARE WORKING ACTIVELY ON 49 PROJECTS ON NEIGHBORHOOD

[53:30] STREETS, 127 SPEED HUMPS, 13 TRAFFIC CALMING CIRCLTZ, FIVE BOLLARD BUMPOUTS, THOSE ARE IN PROGRESS, AND STARTING THIS

[53:37] FALL, WE HAVE SEVEN LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED ON MUNICIPAL STATE

[53:42] STREETS, THESE ARE HIGHER VOLUME STREETS. THAT WE HAVE SEVEN LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED FOR

[53:48] CONSTRUCTION THIS FALL. DINKY

[53:53] AFTER DARK, THIS IS A PEDESTRIAN SCALE LIGHTING PROJECT WHERE

[53:59] $500,000 WAS EARMARKED TO ADD LIGHTING IN THE MARCY HOMES NEIGHBORHOOD INCLUDING DINKY

[54:05] TOWN. WE UPDATED THE PEDESTRIAN SCALE MAP THAT WAS A REQUIREMENT IN ORDER FOR US TO SPEND MONEY IN THAT LOCATION. WE'RE CURRENTLY INSTALLING THOSE

[54:10] LIGHTS RIGHT NOW. IT'S ABOUT 29 LIGHTS KIND OF ON UNIVERSITY,

[54:15] KIND OF BETWEEN UNIVERSITY AVENUE SOUTHEAST, 5th AVENUE SOUTHEAST, BETWEEN 11th AND 13th. SO IN THAT DINKY TOWN

[54:23] AREA, WORK IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. IT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

[54:31] RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES. THIS WAS, IT HAS THE UNIQUE IDENTIFIER ON THAT ONE WITH THE BOX AROUND THE GREEN CIRCLE.

[54:38] THIS IS $400,000 THAT WAS MOVED FROM STREET MAINTENANCE TO BE USED AS A LOCAL MATCH FOR THE

[54:46] NONPROFIT OUR STREETS IF THEY RECEIVED A RECONNECTING

[54:51] COMMUNITIES GRANT. THEY DID NOT GET THE GRANT, SO THE MONEY REMAINED IN PUBLIC WORKS TRANSPORTATION MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR, SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO

[54:57] USE THAT FOR DAILY MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. AND FINALLY, THERE

[55:05] WAS A EARMARK FOR ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR, SCOOTER, AND MOBILITY AID AND PHONE CHARGING

[55:11] STATIONS FEASIBILITY STUDY. SO THIS LOOKED AT HOW THE CITY CAN SUPPORT CHARGING PHONES, ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIRS, SCOOTERS,

[55:16] AND MOBILITY AIDS AROUND THE CITY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, SIMILAR TO HOW YOU MIGHT THINK

[55:21] ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES CHARGING AROUND THE CITY. SO THAT WORK

[55:28] STARTED JULY 13th AND IS ON TRACK TO GO COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE YEAR. THAT IS THE FINAL PUBLIC WORKS CHANGE ITEM. AND I

[55:34] GUESS TURN IT OVER TO THE COO. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. WELCOME BACK.

[55:39] >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR KOSKI. AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE CHANGE ITEMS FROM 2025 ARE ALMOST 100%

[55:48] ON TRACK, AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE STAFF TEAMS WHO'VE BEEN WORKING ON

[55:53] THESE ITEMS. I ALSO WANT TO THANK A FEW PEOPLE FOR HELP ON THIS PRESENTATION. IT TAKES A

[56:00] LOT OF PEOPLE TO PULL THIS TOGETHER, AND SO I WANT TO THANK

[56:05] TRUDY IN OUR OFFICE, MOLLY IN OUR OFFICE WHO DID A LOT OF WORK ON THIS, JANE DISENSA A AS OUR

[56:14] BUDGET DIRECTOR AND HER TEAM TO ASSIST US AND OF COURSE ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND THEIR SUPPORT STAFF. THANK YOU.

[56:32] >> THANK YOU. WE HAVE COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, AND THANK YOU, MS. ANDERSON-KELLIHER

[56:37] FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW WELL ORGANIZED IT IS. IT'S VERY EASY

[56:46] FOR US TO UNDERSTAND. I'M IN QUEUE SINCE DIRECTOR CHAPLAIN'S

[56:53] QUESTIONS. MY QUESTIONS START WITH HIM ON SL SLIDE 33. SOME OF THESE CHANGES THAT WE SAW IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY

[56:58] WERE FROM BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT CAME THROUGH LAST YEAR. AND WE

[57:09] WERE AWARE OF THE IMPACTED FUNDING SOURCE. IN OTHERS THEY WERE LESS CLEAR, SO I FEEL THAT I WOULD BENEFIT, EVERYONE WOULD

[57:15] BENEFIT FROM A BETTER UNDERSTANDING FOR THE APPROPRIATIONS AND EARMARKS

[57:21] WITHIN A DEPARTMENT, HOW THAT ENDED UP IMPACTING SERVICE DELIVERY OR DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS. LIKE DID IT END UP

[57:26] BEING A GOOD TRADEOFF OR DID SOMETHING ELSE SUFFER THAT WE WERE UNAWARE OF WHEN WE DID THIS DURING THE BUDGET. SO DIRECTOR

[57:35] CHAPLAIN, BACK ON SLIDE 33, THERE HAD BEEN TWO EARMARKS AND YOU CALLED THEM OUT WITHIN

[57:40] HEALTH. THEY WERE CARBON FEES. THIS IS ONE I HAD SUPPORTED, THIS IS FOR P-CARD AND IT'S

[57:46] SITS STUDY AND I'M JUST

[57:52] CURIOUS HOW WERE THESE EARMARKS HANDLED IN YOUR DEPARTMENT AND

[57:57] WHAT WAS IMPACTED BY THAT CHANGE? >> YEAH, COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO, VICE CHAIR KOSKI.

[58:03] THE EARMARKS WERE DESIGNED TO HELP SUPPORT CONTRACTING FOR

[58:10] BRAWN AND THEN ALSO HIRING THE POSITION FOR THE CARBON FEES AS WELL WHICH IS WHAT WE DID. WHAT WE'RE DOING.

[58:15] >> RIGHT BUT DIRECTOR WHAT I'M ASKING IS THAT MONEY HAD TO BE PULLED FROM SOMEWHERE IN YOUR

[58:21] DEPARTMENT. WE WERE NONSPECIFIC AS TO WHERE TO TAKE IT FROM, SO

[58:27] I'M CURIOUS WHERE THAT MONEY CAME FROM WITHIN YOUR DEPARTMENT, AND I SEE DIRECTOR

[58:35] HANLON HERE TO HELP.

[58:44] >> PATRICK HANLON, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. SO THE FUNDING THAT

[58:53] WAS USED TO EARMARK THESE POSITIONS, IT REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE COULD DO IN

[58:59] TERMS OF GREEN COST SHARE WORK OR SOME OF THE OTHER WORK

[59:06] RELATED TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY, SOLAR, THAT KIND OF WORK. SO THE, THE CHANGE IN EARMARK MADE

[59:13] FOR A REDUCTION IN THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS. EXACTLY HOW MANY,

[59:18] I WOULDN'T KNOW, BUT IT DID REDUCE THE FUNDING. WE

[59:24] TYPICALLY, TAKE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT BETWEEN THOSE TWO 270.

[59:30] >> 275 ABOUT. >> YEAH I WOULD SAY PROBABLY ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS IN REDUCTION IN INVESTMENTS IN

[59:35] THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS, AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT POSITION WOULD BE COMING ON

[59:41] BOARD SOON, AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO USE THAT STUDY FROM BRAWN TO INFORM OUR FEE STUDY

[59:48] THAT WOULD BE COMING FORWARD LATER THIS YEAR. >> YEAH. THANK YOU. THE IMPACTS OF THIS WOULD BE MUCH

[59:55] FURTHER OUT IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET DONE THIS YEAR VERSUS OUR P-CARD PROGRAM

[1:00:01] ONCE UP AND RUNNING IS GAUCHE TO HELP IMPACT -- GOING TO HELP IMPACT OUR CITY, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. MY NEXT QUESTION WAS

[1:00:08] ACTUALLY FOR CPED, SO I GUESS I'M ASKING DCOOHJEL LE, I'M JUST

[1:00:15] REMIND MY COLLEAGUES CPED HAD A LOT OF CHANGES, 31 TOTAL CHANGES AND OVER $18 MILLION WORTH OF

[1:00:20] CHANGES IS WHAT IS.

[1:00:36] BUT I SPECIFICALLY RECALL DIRECTOR HANSEN INDICATING AT THE TIME THAT ONE AMENDMENT

[1:00:44] REMOVED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM CODE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, AND THAT WAS VERY CONCERNING TO HIM, AND HE SAID

[1:00:51] AT THE TIME HE ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT TAKE THAT MONEY FROM CODE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AND WOULD HAVE TO LOOK ELSEWHERE.

[1:00:56] AND SO IT'S VERY POSSIBLE YOU DON'T KNOW MR MR. HJELLE, DO

[1:01:05] YOU KNOW WHAT EARMARKS, AND WHAT OTHER SERVICES AND OPERATIONS

[1:01:10] WERE IMPACTED AS A RESULT OF IT. >> VICE CHAIR KOSKI AND

[1:01:15] COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO, I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS STANDING HERE. I KNOW ONE OF THE EARMARKED

[1:01:21] ITEMS IS COMING TO THE COUNCIL FOR AN UPDATE AND THAT WOULD LIKELY BE A PLACE -- THAT'S

[1:01:28] CERTAINLY SOMETHING I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THE CPED TEAM*. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

[1:01:39] >> DO YOU WANT A FORMAL MEMO? >> I THINK SO, THAT WAY WE'RE ALL AWARE OF IT.

[1:01:46] >> CLERKS CAN YOU NOTE THAT? DO YOU WANT HER TO REPEAT THAT, PLEASE. >> YES, PLEASE. >> I'M CURIOUS HOW THE

[1:01:52] REDUCTION, THE PROPOSED REDUCTION TO CODE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ENDED UP BECAUSE DIRECTOR HANSEN HAD SAID

[1:01:58] HE ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT AFFORD A REDUCTION FROM THAT PART OF HIS

[1:02:04] BUDGET, AND MR. HJELLE SUGGESTED THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING COMING FORWARD TO COUNCIL FOR IT

[1:02:11] IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION AS TO HOW ALL OF THAT WORKED OUT. THANKS.

[1:02:16] >> AND I'LL GIVE DIRECTOR SEXTON A PASS THIS TIME.

[1:02:22] >> ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR REG

[1:02:27] SERVICES AND CPED. ALL DCOO HJELLE OR COO KELLIHER ON REG

[1:02:33] SERVICES. I WAS JUST WONDERING WITH THE UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE, ONE FTE AND ONE IN PROGRESS, WHAT NUMBER

[1:02:39] DOES THAT BRING US TO FOR THIS DEPARTMENT'S OR THIS PROGRAM'S STAFF LEVEL FOR UNSHELTERED

[1:02:47] HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE. >> VICE CHAIR COCKY, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, CAN YOU TELL ME SLIDE NUMBER SO I CAN

[1:02:53] GET IT BACK UP? >> 27. >> OKAY. THANKS.

[1:03:02] >> DIRECTOR VELASQUEZ BEHIND YOU. >> OH, ALL RIGHT, HERE YOU ARE, ALL RIGHT. EXCELLENT.

[1:03:09] >> WELCOME. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, VICE CHAIR KOSKI. I BELIEVE IT WAS COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY WHO ASKED THE QUESTION.

[1:03:15] >> CASHMAN. >> COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, SORRY, I COULDN'T HEAR. ENRIQUE VULAZ

[1:03:22] QUESTION, DIRECTOR OF REGULATORY SERVICES. SO IN ADDITION OF THESE TWO STAFF MEMBERS, THAT BRINGS OUR HRT TEAM UP TO --

[1:03:31] CURRENTLY WE HAVE 5.0 ON STAFF. >> OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[1:03:37] YEAH, JUST A BRIEF COMMENT ON THAT. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE HELPFUL JUST FROM A USER EXPERIENCE AND FROM A CONSTITUENT SERVICES PERSPECTIVE

[1:03:44] OF BEING ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THIS TEAM AND HAVING THEM REALLY ON SCENE VERY QUICKLY TO HELP

[1:03:49] THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CAMPING SOMEWHERE IN THE WARD, SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE KUDOS TO THAT

[1:03:55] TEAM AND THEIR WORK. MY NEXT QUESTIONS ARE FOR CPED, SO THE

[1:04:01] FIRST ONE IS FROM PAGE 35. NICOLLET PROGRAMMING, IT SAYS

[1:04:08] 150,000. I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT THAT WAS GOING TOWARDS AND WHERE IT IS IN THE BUDGET.

[1:04:15] >> VICE CHAIR KOSKI, COUNCILMEMBER CAS CASHMAN.

[1:04:20] THE NICOLLET ACTIVATION IS TO FUND A STUDY FOR AN INDOOR YOUTH

[1:04:32] CENTER, PLAYGROUND, SOMETHING OF

[1:04:37] LIKE THAT, ALLOCATION AND IDEAS.

[1:04:45] WE ARE FINALLY FUNDING -- >> THANK YOU. SECOND ONE IS STABLE HOME AND STABLE SCHOOLS

[1:04:53] EXPANSION, PAGE 8, THIS WAS COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY AND BUDGET CHAIR CHUGHTAI, MAYBE OTHER AUTHORS ON THIS AMENDMENT.

[1:05:01] CHAVEZ AND PAYNE, SO YOU KNOW MORE THAN WILLING TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL TOO, BUT I DO RECALL FROM MY RECOLLECTION THAT THIS

[1:05:07] WAS TO EXPAND STABLE HOME, STABLE SCHOOLS TO SERVE MIDDLE

[1:05:14] SCHOOL CHILDREN, I SEE ON PAGE 38 IT DOES SAY IN PROGRESS BUT I KIND OF HEARD YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE STILL FIGURING OUT HOW TO SPEND THAT MONEY. AND SO COULD

[1:05:23] YOU GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON WHAT THE EXPANSION TO SERVE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL L LOOK LIKE?

[1:05:30] >> VICE CHAIR COCKY, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, MY UNDERSTANDING IS BASED ON THIS

[1:05:38] LARGE GROUP PARTNERSHIP THAT IS PUTTING THIS PROGRAM ON, THEY ARE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE AND SEEING THIS FISCAL CLIFF, AND BEFORE DECIDING TO EXPAND

[1:05:45] SOMETHING THAT HAS A CLIFF IN FRONT OF IT, THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST NEXT STEPS

[1:05:50] TO MAKE SURE THE CURRENT PROGRAM IS SUSTAINABLE. >> OKAY, THANKS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I

[1:05:56] UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY BECAUSE IT DOES SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE ALL NEED TO BE AWARE OF AND TRYING TO SOLVE FOR WITH SUCH

[1:06:06] SUCCESSFUL AND IMPACTFUL PROGRAM WITH SO MANY PARTNERS AND REALLY IMPORTANT SERVICE OF HELPING

[1:06:12] OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL FAMILIES ACCESS HOUSING SO I JUST WANTED TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT AND BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION AS

[1:06:17] SOMETHING TO WORK ON IN THE LONG-TERM. AND THEN JUST THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD BUT

[1:06:23] JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION. YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A RAPIDLY

[1:06:29] CHANGING WORLD, AND CHANGING OUR BUDGET OR CITY BUDGET TO REFLECT EMERGING NEEDS COMING FROM THE

[1:06:34] COMMUNITY I THINK IS IMPORTANT. SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU KNOW OUR JOB AS REPRESENTATIVES IS TO

[1:06:39] IDENTIFY THOSE NEEDS AND TRY TO AMEND THE BUDGET ACCORDINGLY TO FIT WHAT OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE

[1:06:45] RAISING TO OUR ATTENTION, AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY GREAT WORK THAT'S COME IN JUST A FEW MONTHS

[1:06:51] OUT OF THIS YEAR, AND SO IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE ALL THOSE GREEN CIRCLES AND ALL THE

[1:06:59] PROGRESS. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. MY

[1:07:05] QUESTION IS FOR DIRECTOR SEXTON. YOU SAID WE WERE GOING TO HAVE $400,000 GO BACK BECAUSE THE

[1:07:12] OPEN STREETS, OUR STREETS APPLICATION WASN'T AWARDED, SO

[1:07:18] I'M WONDERING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT $400,000. >> VICE CHAIR KOSKI,

[1:07:23] COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. SO THE $400,000 WAS ORIGINALLY FROM OUR

[1:07:28] GENERAL SORT OF GENERAL MAINTENANCE FUNDING, SO THAT WOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF

[1:07:34] THINGS LIKE PLOWING SNOW, POTHOLES, FILLING POTHOLES, SO THAT'S GOING BACK TO THAT

[1:07:41] FUNDING SOURCE. >> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR, DIRECTOR. GREAT SO MORE POT POTHOLES FILLED,

[1:07:48] MORE SNOW PLOWING HAPPENING WITH THAT $400,000. >> CORRECT. >> LOVE IT. THANK YOU.

[1:07:54] >> ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COLLEAGUES? I'M NOT SEEING ANY. SO I JUST WANT

[1:08:00] TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO CITY STAFF AND LEADERS FOR PREPARING

[1:08:05] ALL OF THIS. I KNOW IT'S A TREMENDOUS LIFT, BUT I THINK IT'S SO HELPFUL FOR US TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT AND PROGRESS, AND

[1:08:13] MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE SHOWING TO THE PUBLIC HOW THEIR TAXPAYER

[1:08:18] DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT. SO IT'S GREAT AGAIN TO SEE ALL THE GREAT PROGRESS, AND THANK YOU

[1:08:24] FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK TO MAKE THAT TRANSPARENT FOR US. SEEING

[1:08:31] NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THIS REPORT, AND WITH THAT, WE'VE CONCLUDED ALL BUSINESS TO

[1:08:38] COME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE TODAY. WITH NO OBJECTION, WE STAND ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
