IT'S THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE THE THIRD PRECINCT POLICE OPERATIONS SPACE IN THE ONE ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR THE FIRST PRECINCT. SO IN THE FACILITY LOCATED AT 1101 THIRD AVENUE SOUTH. I'LL MOVE THAT FORWARD. THANKS. [25:00] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT. COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO HAS MOVED THAT COMMITTEE'S REPORT. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I SEE IN QUEUE COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI. [25:00] Council Member Emily Koski: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY STAFF HERE. WE RECEIVED THIS INFORMATION LESS THAN 48 HOURS AGO SO I'M STILL DIGESTING SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE HEARD AND WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS SOMEBODY HERE. I SEE THAT OUR INTERIM CFO IS HERE. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS. [25:36] President Andrea Jenkins: GOOD MORNING, DIRECTOR JOHNSTON. [25:36] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): GOOD MORNING, MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI. I'M PINCH HITTING FOR BARBARA O'BRIAN WHO IS IN LABOR NEGOTIATIONS RIGHT NOW. SO. [25:51] Council Member Emily Koski: QUESTION I HAD, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD CLARIFY THE $30 MILLION PROJECTED COST, IF THAT IS FOR THE THIRD PRECINCT BUILDOUT ONLY OR FOR BOTH THIS FIRST AND THE THIRD PRECINCT TOTAL AT THE CENTURY PLAZA BUILDING. [25:51] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI, THAT IS FOR THE THIRD PRECINCT ONLY. AND AS YOU WILL RECALL, BOTH PRINTINGS NEED TWO FLOORS, BUT THE AGREEMENT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER IS THAT WE WOULD PURCHASE ALSO THE EXTRA THIRD FLOOR FOR THIRD PRECINCT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T USE ONE FLOOR OF A FIVE-FLOOR BUILDING. SO THAT IS FOR THIRD PRECINCT ONLY. [26:34] Council Member Emily Koski: OKAY. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN ANSWER THIS OR NOT OR IF IT'S MORE OF A BARBARA QUESTION, BUT COULD YOU MAYBE HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT TO THAT AMOUNT? IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THE RENOVATION OF THE FORMER THIRD PRECINCT WAS AN ESTIMATE OF $10 MILLION, AND THEN THE PROJECTION TO BUILD AN ENTIRE NEW BUILDING WAS ABOUT 20 TO $30 MILLION. SO I'M JUST CURIOUS TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE GET TO $30 MILLION IN BUILDING OUT TWO TO THREE FLOORS IN A BUILDING. [27:06] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI, THIS REALLY HAS TO DO WITH THAT EXTRA FLOOR THAT WE'RE NOT USING FOR THE THIRD PRECINCT INITIALLY. WE CAN USE THAT FOR OTHER ITEMS. WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON BUILDING THAT OUT RIGHT AWAY. ESSENTIALLY HOW THIS DEAL WAS REACHED IS THAT WE HAD BEEN IN NEGOTIATIONS AND HAD REACHED AN AGREEMENT ON THE FIRST PRECINCT SO THE FIRST TWO FLOORS. AND WE FORECASTED WITH THE PROPERTY NEGOTIATED WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT WE WOULD GET THE SAME PRICE FOR THE ADDITIONAL FLOORS, SO WE'RE GETTING MORE SPACE THAN WE NEED FOR THE PRECINCT BUT LET ME BE CLEAR, WE HAVE OTHER SPACE NEEDS WE COULD USE THAT ADDITIONAL FLOOR FOR. [27:48] Council Member Emily Koski: OKAY. AND THEN AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AND POSSIBLY THE OTHER COLLEAGUES HERE THAT THIS IS BEING BUILT AS A TEMPORARY SPACE FOR THE THIRD PRECINCT OFFICERS, WHICH I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF MAKING SURE THEY HAVE A BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS THAN WHAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE, BRINGS THEM CLOSER TO THE THIRD PRECINCT. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW, SINCE THIS IS A TEMPORARY SPACE AND AS WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE CO-LOCATIONS AND SAFETY SUBCENTERS, WHAT HAPPENS SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE LINE WITH THIS BUILDOUT? ARE WE ABLE TO PIVOT QUICKLY AND UTILIZE THE INVESTMENT THAT WE HAVE AND WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR [28:34] THOSE POTENTIAL FLOORS TO PIVOT AND UTILIZE THOSE IF NEEDED OR BASICALLY WILL IT BE EASY FOR US TO PIVOT AND UTILIZE THIS INVESTMENT? [28:34] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI, LET ME JUST SAY IT'S TEMPORARY, IT'S NOT INTENDED TO BE A PERMANENT LOCATION BUT IT'S LONG-TERM TEMPORARY. SO WE'RE INTENDING IT WILL PROBABLY BE TEN YEARS. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION THAT WE'RE DOING IN TERMS OF WHAT THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES LOOKS LIKE. THAT WILL TAKE A LONG PERIOD OF TIME SO WE WANT TO HAVE OUR EMPLOYEES IN GOOD SOLID SPACE UNTIL THAT POINT IN TIME. IS IT GOING TO BE EASY TO PIVOT? YES, ACTUALLY BECAUSE WE WILL BE CONDOIZING THE SPACE SO WE COULD VERY EASILY, WE WILL ESSENTIALLY OWN THE INTERIOR LIKE YOU DO WITH A CONDO. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS WE COULD JUST REPURPOSE THAT AS BASE FOR ANOTHER USE, WHETHER -- IT COULD BE SOME OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT. IT COULD BE ANIMAL CONTROL, IT COULD BE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. IT COULD BE -- WE HAVE ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO THAT SPACE, OBVIOUSLY [29:45] THE BUILDOUT, IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT THE USE WILL BE. [29:45] Council Member Emily Koski: OKAY. THANK YOU. [29:45] President Andrea Jenkins: COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [29:45] Council Member Andrew Johnson: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I APPRECIATE COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI RAISING THESE QUESTIONS AND I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE, INTERIM C.O.O. JOHNSTON. YOU KNOW, I'M DIGESTING THIS AS WELL. I WOULD OFFER A QUICK COMMENT THAT I DON'T THINK TEN YEARS IS PROBABLY THE EXPECTATION FOR CONSTITUENTS. I THINK THEY WOULD LIKE THE THIRD PRECINCT RETURNED SOONER TO THE ACTUAL THIRD PRECINCT, THOUGH I AGREE WITH COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI, THAT WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING HERE FOR OUR OFFICERS. MY QUESTION WOULD BE -- I GOT A [30:31] COUPLE QUESTIONS, HERE. SO, HOW MUCH ARE WE PAYING PER FLOOR? WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR JUST THE REAL ESTATE, PERIOD, VERSUS THE ACTUAL BUILDOUT ON THE INTERIOR? [30:31] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, WE'RE PAYING ROUGHLY $10 MILLION PER FLOOR, BUT THAT INCLUDES THE BUILDOUT. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S SEPARATED OUT BECAUSE THE ARRANGEMENT IS THE CONDO, SO WE'RE NOT TECHNICALLY BUYING THE BUILDING. SO I CAN SEE IF WE CAN GET A BREAKDOWN ON THAT. BUT SORT OF THE BROAD ANSWER IS ABOUT $10 MILLION PER FLOOR. [31:02] Council Member Andrew Johnson: GOT YOU. AND THEN YOU TALKED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO PIVOT TO OTHER SPACES. DO WE HAVE THAT NEED FOR THAT KIND OF SPACE? WE JUST HAVE BUILT THIS PUBLIC SERVICE BUILDING. MOVING IN THAT TRAJECTORY WITH A CONSOLIDATED CAMPUS, BY THE WAY WE ALSO SAW A SHIFT TO MORE HYBRID WORKING, WORK FROM HOME, WHERE ARE WE AT IN TERMS OF A NEED ASSESSMENT ON SPACE? [31:43] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, WE ARE CONSTANTLY REASSESSING OUR SPACE NEEDS, AND THIS WILL BE PART OF WHAT WE DO AS WE DO AN EVALUATION OF THAT. WE HAVE FORTUNATELY OR UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE A LOT OF REAL ESTATE HERE IN THE CITY, AND SOME OF THAT IS VERY OLD. I MENTIONED ANIMAL CONTROL. THERE'S FACILITIES, AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM OTHER COMMITTEES THAT THERE'S A LOT OF NEED FOR ADDITIONAL -- WE'RE TAKING IN A LOT MORE ANIMALS THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST SO WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL SPACE IN THAT REGARD. THE WORKFORCE ITSELF DOES FLUCTUATE FROM TIME TO TIME. WE STILL HAVE RIGHT NOW WE ARE UNDERSTAFFED IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR EXAMPLE, SO WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL SPACE THERE. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW [32:29] OUR WORKFORCE EVOLVES. YOU ARE RIGHT, WE HAVE A MINIMUM OF TWO DAYS A WEEK IN THE OFFICE REQUIREMENT SO WE DO STILL HAVE NEEDS FOR IN THE OFFICE. I DON'T SAY NOT AT WORK, WORK IN THE OFFICE, BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING FROM HOME. BUT I WOULD ALSO CLARIFY THAT A FULL 63, 65% OF OUR WORKFORCE IS FULL TIME. FULL TIME IN THE OFFICE. AND SO WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET OUT OF THE NEED FOR SPACE, BUT WE HAVE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT NEEDS AND WE DO THOSE ASSESSMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS. [32:53] Council Member Andrew Johnson: DO WE HAVE SPARE SPACE RIGHT NOW IN OUR PUBLIC SERVICE BUILDING THAT'S NEW AND IF SO, HOW MUCH? [33:09] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, WE DO HAVE AT LEAST ONE FLOOR. AND I'M NOT SURE, I THINK IT'S JUST ONE FLOOR BUT IT MAY BE TWO. I CAN CONFIRM THAT AND GET BACK TO YOU OR I MIGHT GET SOME INFORMATION SHORTLY. [33:26] Council Member Andrew Johnson: GOT YOU. SINCE WE DON'T OWN THE BUILDING ITSELF, WHAT ARE -- IF WE MOVE INTO THE FUTURE AND WE SAY, OKAY, NOW WE'VE MOVED THE THIRD PRECINCT BACK TO THE ACTUAL THIRD PRECINCT, AND WE ACTUALLY REALIZE WE DON'T NEED THIS SPACE, ARE WE ABLE TO RECOUP COSTS, ABLE TO RESELL THE SPACE? [33:50] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, GOOD QUESTION, YES, WE CAN SELL THE CONDO SPACE AT ANY POINT IN TIME THAT WE DON'T NEED IT. [33:50] Council Member Andrew Johnson: GOT YOU. THANK YOU. AND THEN I THINK THAT'S THE END OF MY QUESTIONS. IT'S JUST IT'S A LOT TO PROCESS FRANKLY, THAT TIMELINE. I MEAN THAT'S LONGER THAN I'VE BEEN AROUND ON THIS COUNCIL. SO THAT'S A LONG TIME SO, I GUESS I'T KIND OF LOOKING TO MY COLLEAGUES TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING ANY REACTIONS TO THIS AND HOW THEY'RE PROCESSING IT AS WELL, BECAUSE THE VOTE IS RIGHT BEFORE US NOW. AND I THINK IT'S A LOT TO TAKE IN. YES. [34:29] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, I DID GET CONFIRMATION THAT WE DO JUST HAVE ONE FLOOR REMAINING IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE CENTER, PUBLIC SERVICE BUILDING, EXCUSE ME, AND THAT'S THE SEVENTH FLOOR, AND THAT HASN'T BEEN BUILT OUT YET. SO THAT IS OUR ONE REMAINING FLOOR THAT'S AVAILABLE. WE DON'T EXPECT THE THIRD PRECINCT OFFICERS TO BE ABLE TO BE IN THAT NEW SPACE UNTIL 2025. SO JUST TO KIND OF LEVEL SET, WE'LL HAVE THE FIRST PRECINCT OFFICERS IN THERE NEXT YEAR BUT WE NEED ADDITIONAL TIME TO GET THE THIRD PRECINCT OFFICERS IN THERE. IT DOES SEEM LIKE A LONG TIME, BUT AS YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE THINGS TAKE TIME, AND WE WANT TO DO THIS RIGHT. AND WHAT WE [35:15] HEARD VERY CLEARLY FROM THIS COUNCIL IS WE WANT TO TAKE SOME TIME AND REEVALUATION HOW WE PROVIDE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES IN THIS CITY AND SO THIS WILL ALLOW US THE TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND THAT WE DO THAT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CITY. [35:37] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. NEXT IN QUEUE IS COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [35:37] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS JUST FEELS LIKE A REALLY BIG DECISION TO MAKE AND REALLY SUDDEN. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE ANSWERS THAT WERE GIVEN TODAY AROUND THE $30 MILLION AND STILL A FEW IN INVESTMENT IN THE THIRD PRECINCT. I KNOW THAT IT DOESN'T -- MY WARD IS NOT A PART OF THE THIRD PRECINCT, BUT I WANT TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, AND THIS DOESN'T FEEL THAT WAY FOR ME. THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE we're GOING TO BE ASKING THE PEOPLE OF MINNEAPOLIS TO PAY NOW AND TO PAY LATER FOR A FUTURE PROJECT DOWN THE ROAD. SO I WON'T BE SUPPORTING THIS TODAY. [36:25] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: I HAVE THE FOURTH PRECINCT WHO COULD DEFINITE USE SOME UPGRADES AND SOME MONEY FOR SOME PROJECTS THERE. AND I THINK IT JUST WOULD BE A BAD LOOK TO INVEST ALL OF THIS INTO THIS PRECINCT AND KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME FUTURE INVESTMENTS. I APPRECIATE THE ANSWERS, BUT AS I SAID BEFORE, IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING. AND I CAN'T -- I MEAN, I HAVEN'T EVEN PROCESSED WHAT HAS BEEN SAID HERE ABOUT THE THIRD PRECINCT, AND TWO OF THE THIRD PRECINCT COUNCILMEMBERS HAVE SPOKEN, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY MAY HAVE SOME OF THE SAME FEELINGS THAT I HAVE AROUND THE MONEY AND THE USE AND IF WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING THE [37:12] BANG FOR OUR BUCK OUT OF A SPACE THAT WE DON'T EVEN OWN. AND DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE RESALE VALUE COULD BE AFTER MAKING $30 MILLION IN INVESTMENT? [37:12] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, A COUPLE COMMENTS THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESALE VALUE WILL BE IN TEN YEARS. WE CERTAINLY KNOW THERE WILL BE VALUE. THAT'S A GREAT LOCATION IN TERMS OF FOR OFFICE SPACE OR OTHER USES. AND SO I MEAN WE DO OWN THE INTERIOR SPACE, THAT CONDO ARRANGEMENT. SO I CAN'T SPECULATE RIGHT NOW ON WHAT THE VALUE OF THAT IS. I DO ALSO WANT TO MENTION YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY -- THIS IS WHY WE FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO HAVE THIS SORT OF LONG-TERM MIDTERM SOLUTION AND THAT'S WHY WE TALK ABOUT TEN YEARS TO GET THE VALUE OUT OF THAT SPACE. AND SO TO YOUR POINT ABOUT BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE THAT'S WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AS A MIDTERM SOLUTION SO THAT IT IS A FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE, BEING FINANCIALLY PRUDENT. AND THAT'S KIND OF AN EQUIVALENT OF WHAT WE WOULD DO WITH RENTING IS WHAT THE EQUATION WE'RE DOING. THE OTHER PIECE IS I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SOME RESOURCES TO MAKES AT THE FOURTH PRECINCT AS WELL. [38:31] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: IT'S PROBABLY A COMMENT. PEOPLE ARE WORKING FROM HOME NOW. SO HOW WILL ARE WE DETERMINING THAT SOMEBODY WOULD WANT THIS SPACE? AND ISN'T IT EMPTY NOW? NOBODY'S BEEN IN IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME? OR IS IT BEING FULLY USED? [38:49] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, WHEN YOU SAY IT, ARE YOU REFERRING TO... [38:49] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: THE BUILDING, THE ACTUAL. [38:49] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): WHICH BUILDING? I'M SORRY. [38:49] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: THE CENTRAL PLAZA. [38:49] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, IT'S NOT BEING USED RIGHT NOW OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT FOR THE FIRST PRECINCT. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE USING FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR VERY SOON. [39:12] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: RIGHT. BUT SO NOBODY WAS RUNNING TO GET IN THERE BEFORE THIS. [39:12] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE WAS INVOLVED IN THE BIDDING PROCESS, BUT IT WAS EMPTY. CORRECT. [39:12] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: OKAY. THANK YOU. [39:29] President Andrea Jenkins: COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI. [39:29] Council Member Emily Koski: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. JUST KIND OF LISTENING TO THIS CONVERSATION AND HEARING ABOUT THE I'D SAY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS I THINK THAT PEOPLE STILL HAVE, AT THE TABLE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DELAY THIS VOTE SO THAT WE HAVE TIME. I THINK YOU DESCRIBED THAT WE ARE DOING THIS SO THAT WE HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THIS. AND I THINK HEARING SOME OF THESE STAGGERING DOLLARS AND TRYING TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IF YOU FEEL THAT THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE, IF ONE CYCLE OR TWO CYCLES WOULD BE BEST, BUT I'M OPEN TO EITHER [40:14] OF THOSE, JUST SO THAT WE CAN GET ENOUGH TIME. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME COUNCILMEMBERS THAT ARE IN THE IN TOWN RIGHT NOW TOO, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO HAVE THAT SPACE TOO. SO I'M ASKING YOU IF YOU THINK ONE CYCLE OR TWO CYCLES IS WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. [40:33] Heather Johnston (Interim City Operations Officer): COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS, COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI, THE SOONER WE CAN GET A DECISION THE SOONER WE CAN GET STARTED WITH THE BUILDOUT, THE CONTRACTOR WON'T BEGIN THAT UNTIL THERE'S A DECISION MADE. SO I THINK THE STAFF WOULD PREFER ONE CYCLE. BUT IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS WE'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT THOSE ARE. I DO THINK WE CAN GET SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT TO COUNCILMEMBER VETAW'S QUESTIONS, THAT'S OCCURRING, BECAUSE THERE IS DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING AROUND THERE. SO I'M HAPPY TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THAT IF THAT'S WHAT THE BODY CHOOSES. BUT ANY DELAY IS GOING TO BE A DELAY IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO GET AROUSERSES IN THERE AS WELL. [41:11] Council Member Emily Koski: OKAY. I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THEN TO DELAY THIS ONE CYCLE TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST EXPLORE THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE AND ASK DEEPER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE BRING THIS BACK FORWARD. [41:11] Council Member Andrew Johnson: SECOND. [41:26] President Andrea Jenkins: SO, COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI HAS MOVED TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM FOR ONE CYCLE. IT'S BEEN SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. AND WE HAVE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS IN QUEUE. FIRST IS COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO. [41:45] Council Vice President Linea Palmisano: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. WAS JUST CONFERRING WITH MY COLLEAGUE COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. I DON'T THINK THAT POSTPONING ONE CYCLE AND TRYING TO DO BRIEFINGS WITH EVERY COUNCILMEMBER FOR A $30 MILLION DECISION THAT SEEMS A BIT RUSHED HERE MAKES SENSE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO REFER THIS BACK TO COMMITTEE, SO BACK TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FOR A DEEP DIVE DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSAL AND OPTIONS. [42:08] Council Member Aisha Chughtai: SECOND. [42:08] Council Vice President Linea Palmisano: THANK YOU. I THINK THAT WE DO NEED TO KIND OF FINISH THIS OFF IN PUBLIC. THERE'S MAYBE SOME CONFUSION AND MAYBE WE RUSHED THAT DISCUSSION A LITTLE BIT AT COMMITTEE THIS WEEK, AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE. BUT I THINK THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE THESE OPTIONS LAID OUT SO THAT EVERYBODY HERE ON THIS DAIS IS CLEAR. IT'S USUALLY HARD TO GET ALL OF THOSE OTHER BRIEFINGS SCHEDULE AND DONE IN ONE CYCLE. SO THAT IS MY SUBSTITUTE TO THIS MOTION. THANK YOU. [42:33] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO HAS MOVED A SUBSTITUTE MOTION. AND IT HAS BEEN SECONDED. I WILL CONFER WITH THE CLERK ON PROCEDURAL. [42:48] City Clerk Casey Carl: MADAM PRESIDENT, I SAW A LOT OF HEAD NODS ON THAT. AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BETTER OPTION EASIER IS FOR KOSKI TO REMOVE HER POSTPONEMENT AND JUST PUT THE ONE AMENDMENT IN FRONT OF THE BODY, WHICH IS THE DIRECTOR TO REFER THIS BACK TO COMMITTEE. [43:09] President Andrea Jenkins: ARE YOU AMENABLE TO THAT SUGGESTION? [43:09] Council Member Emily Koski: YEP. [43:09] President Andrea Jenkins: COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI HAS AGREED TO WITHDRAW HER MOTION. AND WEFT SUBSTITUTE MOTION BY COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO TO REFER THIS ITEM BACK TO COMMITTEE. THERE HAS BEEN A PROPER SECOND. AND I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. [43:36] Council Member Aisha Chughtai: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I REALLY APPRECIATE COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI FOR MAKING -- LISTENING TO THE FEEDBACK FROM COUNCILMEMBERS AND MAKING A MOTION TO NOT TAKE ACTION ON THIS TODAY AND TO THE COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT. I GUESS WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THE COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT WHO CHAIRS THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ALONG WITH COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ WHO'S THE VICE-CHAIR THERE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS MOTION TO REFER THE ITEM BACK TO COMMITTEE DOESN'T RESULT IN US TAKING IT UP IMMEDIATELY AT THE NEXT MEETING. THE TWO OF YOU SET THE AGENDA ALONG WITH STAFF. AND SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATE TIME THEN TO STILL DO THAT SAME WORK OF DOING [44:22] COUNCILMEMBER BRIEFINGS ALONG WITH A MORE THOROUGH DISCUSSION IN COMMITTEE ON THIS ISSUE IN PUBLIC SEEMS APPROPRIATE TO ME. SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT REQUEST OR PUT THAT ON YOUR RADAR, BECAUSE THEN JUST REFERRING IT TO COMMITTEE AND IF IT SHOWS UP AT THE NEXT COMMITTEE'S AGENDA, IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS US DELAYING ONE CYCLE. [44:44] City Clerk Casey Carl: MADAM PRESIDENT, WHEN WE REFER BACK IT WILL SHOW UP UNDER THE RULES IN THE NEXT COMMITTEE AGENDA FOR PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY AND NOTICE PURPOSES BUT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ACTION IS REQUIRED. I WANT TO BE CLEAR, IT WILL SHOW UP ON THE AGENDA. [45:00] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [45:00] Council Member Andrew Johnson: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO MY COLLEAGUES ON THIS AS WELL. I THINK THIS IS A FAST-MOVING ITEM. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S A PRIORITY FOR THE COUNCIL. SO STAFF ARE BEING RESPONSIVE AS WELL IN PUTTING TOGETHER PLANS AROUND THIS. AND I ALSO THINK WE'RE ALL TRYING TO DIGEST THIS AS WELL, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US THAT REPRESENT WARDS WITHIN THE THIRD PRECINCT, AND REALLY WANT SERVICE BACK IN THE THIRD PRECINCT AND RESTORED. [45:29] Council Member Andrew Johnson: AND WE RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR TEMPORARY LOCATION FOR OUR OFFICERS AND ARE ALSO JUST TRYING TO JUGGLE AND BALANCE ALL THESE COMPETING PRIORITIES HERE AND BE GOOD STEWARDS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SLIGHTLY UNUSUAL FOR AN ITEM TO CROP UP AT COUNCIL WITH DISCUSSION AND ASKING QUESTIONS OF STAFF LIKE THIS, I THINK IT WARMS MY HEART THAT MY COLLEAGUES ARE OPEN TO THIS AND REALLY BEING GOOD STEWARDS WITH THESE DECISIONS. SO THANK YOU.. [46:08] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. I DID PUT MYSELF IN QUEUE UNDER THE ORIGINAL ITEM. BUT I THINK I WILL SPEAK TO THE MOTION TO REFER TO COMMITTEE, WHICH I SUPPORT THAT MOTION AND WILL BE VOTING TO SUPPORT THAT. HOWEVER I DO WANT TO STATE AS A COUNCILMEMBER THAT ALSO HAS MUCH OF MY WARD IN THE THIRD PRECINCT THAT WE DO NEED TO HAVE A CONVENIENT LOCATION FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. IF AND WHEN WE DO RELOCATE THE THIRD PRECINCT, WE WILL STILL AS WE CONTINUE TO REIMAGINE PUBLIC SAFETY, THE FIRST PRECINCT WILL BE THERE. AND THAT COULD BE A [47:22] SPACE TO HAVE THIS POTENTIALLY HAVE THIS BROAD COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER THAT WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THAT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED IN SOME OF THE REPORTS THAT WE HAVE HAD ON THIS ITEM. AND SO I DON'T SEE THIS AS SORT OF WASTEFUL INVESTMENT. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BRING US INTO THIS FUTURE OF PUBLIC SAFETY THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN HOPING TO TRANSFORM INTO. AND WITH THAT SAID, I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER VOICES IN QUEUE ON THE PALMISANO MOTION TO REFER BACK TO COMMITTEE. SO I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [48:13] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE. [48:13] Council Member Michael Rainville: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [48:13] Council Member Andrew Johnson: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. [48:13] Council Member Jamal Osman: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: KOSKI. [48:13] Council Member Emily Koski: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: CHUGHTAI. [48:13] Council Member Aisha Chughtai: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: CHAVEZ. [48:13] Council Member Jason Chavez: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO. [48:13] Council Vice President Linea Palmisano: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: PRESIDENT JENKINS. [48:13] President Andrea Jenkins: AYE. [48:13] City Clerk Casey Carl: THERE ARE NINE AYES. [48:28] President Andrea Jenkins: THAT CARRIES. AND SO THAT ITEM WILL BE RETURNED TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. AND THERE WILL BE COUNCILMEMBER BRIEFINGS BY STAFF IN THE INTERIM AS WELL, WHICH BRINGS US TO -- THAT WAS THE ONLY ITEM ON THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT, RIGHT? AND SO THE NEXT COMMITTEE REPORT IS THE POLICY GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. AND THAT REPORT WILL BE PRESENTED BY COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. YEAH. [49:11] Council Member Jason Chavez: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THE POLICY AND GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IS BRINGING FORWARD 14 ITEMS FOR APPROVAL AND ONE FOR DELETION FOR THE AGENDA.

ITEM 15 IS APPROVING A LEGAL SETTLEMENT WITH KEITH VERSUS JAMEZ AND WITH THAT I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF ALL ITEMS ACCEPT FOR 7 WHICH I'M MOVING TO DELETE. IF YOU [51:02] REMEMBER COUNCILMEMBER AND CHAIR ELLISON MENTIONED EARLIER THIS WEEK THAT STAFF REACHED OUT TO REQUEST THIS ITEM BE DELETED SO HE MOVED TO DELETE IT I'LL STAND BY FOR ANY QUESTIONS. [51:19] President Andrea Jenkins: CHAVEZ HAS MOVED THE POGO COMMITTEE REPORT. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I WILL NOTE THAT IT'S REQUESTED TO REMOVE ITEM NUMBER 7. THE CHAIR WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. [51:19] Council Member Aisha Chughtai: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 6 WHICH IS THE BID FOR DEBRIS REMOVAL AT 2312 LYNDALE AVENUE SOUTH. THIS IS A SITE THAT THERE WAS A MASSIVE FIRE AT IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, AND IT FOLLOWED AN INVESTIGATION BY THE ATF OF THIS SITE. AND THERE'S BEEN ESSENTIALLY A GIANT PILE OF RUBBLE HERE THAT HAS BEEN THERE NOW FOR NINE MONTHS WHILE THE [52:05] PROPERTY OWNER AND THE CITY AND THE PROPERTY OWNER'S INSURANCE COMPANY HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS DEBRIS REMOVED. REALLY, REALLY GRATEFUL TO OUR STAFF AT REGULATORY SERVICES AND FINANCE AND PROPERTY SERVICES AND CPED ON WORKING ON THIS SITE, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT THE CITY HAS DECIDED TO STEP IN HERE AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS DEBRIS GETS REMOVED. WE ARE ACTUALLY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE FOR WHEN THIS BID IS SUPPOSED TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL MEAN THAT THE WORK ON THIS WILL START SOONER AND WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE COLD MONTHS SET IN. SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE [52:51] COMMENT ABOUT THAT. [52:51] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE POGO COMMITTEE REPORT? SEEING NONE. CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE POGO COMMITTEE REPORT, RECOGNIZING THAT WE ARE DELETING ITEM NUMBER 7. [53:10] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER VETAW.

AND THE CLERK -- AND THAT COMMITTEE'S REPORT IS ADOPTED. I DO HAVE COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI IN QUEUE AND WILL RECOGNIZE HER NOW. [57:22] Council Member Aisha Chughtai: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I APOLOGIZE. I WANTED TO JUST GO BACK IF IT'S AMENABLE TO THE BODY AND CORRECT MY VOTE ON THE BUSINESS INSPECTIONS HOUSEING AND ZONING COMMITTEE'S REPORT FOR ITEM NUMBER 2 AND ASK THAT I BE MARKED AS A NO ON THAT ITEM. [57:44] President Andrea Jenkins: IS THERE ANY OBJECTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES ON COUNCILMEMBER'S CHUGHTAI'S CHANGING OF THE VOTE SEEING NONE, WE WILL ACCEPT THAT. COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. [58:01] Council Member Jason Chavez: COUNCILMEMBER PRESIDENT JENKINS, I WAS ON THE SAME VOTE. [58:01] President Andrea Jenkins: I'M SORRY. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU, SIR. [58:01] Council Member Jason Chavez: I ALSO WANT TO BE MARKED AS A NO ON ITEM NUMBER 2. [58:17] President Andrea Jenkins: IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ CHANGING HIS VOTE ON ITEM NUMBER 2? SEEING NONE, WE WILL ACCEPT THAT CHANGE. SO, THAT COMPLETES THE REPORTS FROM OUR STANDING COMMITTEES. NEXT WE HAVE THE NOTICE OF ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION. THERE ARE THREE NOTICES. THE FIRST BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON TO AMEND TITLE 13, THE LICENSING CODE RELATED TO TAXICAB REGULATIONS. [58:56] President Andrea Jenkins: THE SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER VETAW TO ALSO AMEND THE LICENSING CODE REGULATED BY THE REGULATION -- I'M SORRY, RELATED TO THE REGULATION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS. AND THE THIRD BY COUNCILMEMBERS CHUGHTAI AND PAYNE TO AMEND TITLE 2, THE ADMINISTRATION PORTION OF THE CODE RELATED TO THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE OFFICE OF THE CITY AUDITOR. THESE NOTICES ARE HEREBY GIVEN AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS RESOLUTIONS. [59:32] Council Member Andrew Johnson: PRESIDENT. I'M IN QUEUE. [59:32] President Andrea Jenkins: MY APOLOGIES. COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [59:32] Council Member Andrew Johnson: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANT TO SPEAK QUICKLY ON ITEM NUMBER 1, THIS TAXICAB ORDINANCE. THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ITEM UNDER UNFINISHED BUSINESS AROUND TRANSPORTATION RIDE SHARE WORKER PROTECTION. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE NO ONE CONFLATED THOSE TWO AS SOMEHOW RELATED WHEN IT COMES TO WORKER PAY OR WHAT HAVE YOU. THIS EFFORT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON WITH REGULATORY SERVICES SINCE BEFORE THIS TRANSPORTATION RIDE SHARE WORKER PROTECTION ORDINANCE WAS STARTED. AND IT'S IN RESPONSE TO FEEDBACK FROM TAXICAB COMPANIES, WHICH ARE MOSTLY IMMIGRANT OWNED, WHEN THESE TNCS CAME ON TO THE SCENE, THEY REALLY PUT A LOT OF THESE COMPANIES OUT OF BUSINESS AND OUR EXISTING CODE AROUND TAXICABS HAS A NUMBER OF REGULATIONS AND BARRIERS THAT MAKE IT HARD FOR TAXICABS TO COMPETE SPECIFICALLY THINGS LIKE DRESS CODE, HIGHER LICENSE FEES, THERE'S A MINIMUM NUMBER OF CABS THAT A COMPANY CAN HAVE WHICH [1:00:44] MAKES IT REALLY HARD FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. SO THE GOAL AROUND THIS IS NOT FOCUSING ON THE WORKER PROTECTION SIDE BUT REALLY FOCUSING ON HOW DO WE HELP THESE SMALL IMMIGRANT-OWNED BUSINESSES AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO DO BUSINESS IN THE CITY AND TO SERVE THEIR CUSTOMERS AND TO ULTIMATELY BE SUCCESSFUL AND NOT DRIVEN OUT BY THESE TNCS. SO THAT'S THE EFFORT HERE. I'M HAPPY TO TALK WITH ANY COLLEAGUES ABOUT THIS. I'M SURE STAFF ARE HAPPY TO DO THAT AS WELL. WE MET BROADLY WITH THE INDUSTRY TOO AND HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS LEADING UP TO THIS. SO I'M EXCITED TO BRING THIS ITEM FORWARD. THANK YOU. [1:01:11] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS RESOLUTIONS. WE HAVE ONE HONORARY RESOLUTION THAT WAS READ AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON THE HONORARY RESOLUTION? SEEING NONE, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THAT RESOLUTION. [1:01:47] Council Member Jamal Osman: SO MOVED. [1:01:47] Council Member Jason Chavez: SECOND. [1:01:47] President Andrea Jenkins: CLERK CALL THE ROLL. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: VETAW. [1:01:47] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: RAINVILLE. [1:01:47] Council Member Michael Rainville: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: JOHNSON. [1:01:47] Council Member Andrew Johnson: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: OSMAN. [1:01:47] Council Member Jamal Osman: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: KOSKI. [1:01:47] Council Member Emily Koski: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: CHUGHTAI. [1:01:47] Council Member Aisha Chughtai: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: CHAVEZ. [1:01:47] Council Member Jason Chavez: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO. [1:01:47] Council Vice President Linea Palmisano: AYE. [1:01:47] City Clerk Casey Carl: PRESIDENT JENKINS. [1:02:02] President Andrea Jenkins: AYE. [1:02:02] City Clerk Casey Carl: THERE ARE NINE AYES. [1:02:02] President Andrea Jenkins: THAT CARRIES. AND THAT RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED. NEXT COLLEAGUES WE HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS. THAT PERTAINS TO THE TRANSPORTATION RIDE SHARE WORKERS PROTECTION ORDINANCE WHICH WAS VETOED AND RETURNED BY THE MAYOR WITH HIS OBJECTIONS. I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO ADVISE US ON THE PROCEDURES ON THAT VETO. [1:02:25] City Clerk Casey Carl: MADAM CHAIR, AS YOU NOTED THE MAYOR RETURNED THIS ORDINANCE WITH HIS VETO AND HIS OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AS REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 4.4C3 OF THE CITY CHARTER AND ACCORDINGLY THAT MATTER IS NOW PRESENTED FOR AUTOMATIC RECONSIDERATION BY THE BODY, IT'S NOT OPEN TO DEBATE OR AMENDMENT BUT THE QUESTION IS IMMEDIATELY PENDING AS FOLLOWS: SHALL THE DECISION OF THE CITY COUNCIL STAND NOTWITHSTANDING THE VETO OF THE MAYOR TO OVERRIDE THE VETO REQUIRES AT LEAST THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTES OF TWO-THIRDS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE BODY, THAT'S NINE AFFIRMATIVE VOTES ARE NEEDED. OTHERWISE THE MAYOR'S VETO IS SUSTAINED. SO A YES ON THIS VOTE IS A VOTE TO OVERRIDE THE MAYOR'S VETO, A NO [1:03:12] VOTE IS A VOTE TO SUSTAIN THE VETO. AND UNLESS THE BODY HAS NEED OF FURTHER CLARIFICATION, I'M READY TO CALL THE ROLL. [1:03:12] President Andrea Jenkins: ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATIONS REQUIRED FROM THE CLERK? COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. [1:03:27] Council Member Aisha Chughtai: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I BELIEVE WE DON'T HAVE NINE MEMBERS PRESENT HERE TODAY. SO JUST TO CLARIFY, THE NUMBER IS STILL NINE VOTES? [1:03:27] City Clerk Casey Carl: THROUGH THE PRESIDENT, YES, THE CHARTER SAYS IT'S TWO-THIRDS OF THE BODY OF THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE BODY. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT THERE ARE ABSENCES FROM THE BODY. IT STILL REQUIRES NINE TO OVERRIDE. [1:03:54] President Andrea Jenkins: ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE OF THIS, CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. [1:03:54] City Clerk Casey Carl: VETAW. [1:03:54] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: NO. [1:03:54] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE. [1:03:54] Council Member Michael Rainville: NO. [1:03:54] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [1:03:54] Council Member Andrew Johnson: NO. [1:04:09] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. [1:04:09] Council Member Jamal Osman: AYE. [1:04:09] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER KOSKI. [1:04:09] Council Member Emily Koski: NO.

[1:04:09] Council Member Jason Chavez: AYE. [1:04:09] City Clerk Casey Carl: VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO. [1:04:09] Council Vice President Linea Palmisano: NO. [1:04:09] City Clerk Casey Carl: PRESIDENT JENKINS. [1:04:09] President Andrea Jenkins: AYE. [1:04:09] City Clerk Casey Carl: THERE ARE FOUR AYES AND FIVE NAYS. [1:04:28] President Andrea Jenkins: THAT FAILS. AND THE VETO STANDS. AND SO WE HAVE NEW BUSINESS. AND WE RECEIVED THE MAYOR'S NOMINATION OF ENRIQUE VELAZQUEZ TO THE APPOINTED POSITION OF DIRECTOR OF REGULATORY SERVICES I WILL MOVE TO REFER THAT NOMINATION TO THE BUSINESS INSPECTIONS AND HOUSING AND ZONING COMMITTEE FOR THE STUDYING OF A PUBLIC HEARING AS REQUIRE BY COUNCIL RULES. MAY I HAVE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION? [1:05:09] Council Member Michael Rainville: SECOND. [1:05:09] President Andrea Jenkins: ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [1:05:09] Council Member Andrew Johnson: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I ACTUALLY WANTED TO SPEAK ON THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS ITEM ON THIS TRANSPORTATION RIDE SHARE WORKER PROTECTION ORDINANCE. I KNOW THE MAYOR'S OFFICE DID SEND OUT A LETTER AROUND THEIR INTENTIONS AND NEXT STEPS AND WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THE COUNCIL ON PASSING AN ORDINANCE ON THIS. AND I KNOW THAT EVEN NEXT WEEK COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN AND MYSELF AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A COMPROMISE OR TRY TO COME UP WITH A COMPROMISE IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THIS WORK AND BE ABLE TO GET SOMETHING PASSED YET THIS YEAR FOR OUR [1:05:56] RIDE SHARE WORKERS. AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR THOSE WATCHING THAT THEY KNEW THAT THIS MATTER ISN'T SETTLED, THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE CONTINUING WORK ON THIS. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE OR BROADLY OR PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE RECOGNIZES THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM HERE AND THERE'S WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THAT THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION. AND SO I'M COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH COLLEAGUES ON THAT AND I KNOW THAT THIS BODY IS INTERESTED IN DOING THAT WORK AND APPRECIATE FOLKS WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP TOGETHER ON THIS ONE. [1:06:30] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. AND SO I DID HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THE APPOINTMENT DIRECTOR OF REGULATORY SERVICES, ENRIQUE VELAZQUEZ. [1:06:57] Council Member Andrew Johnson: SECOND. [1:06:57] President Andrea Jenkins: ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? SEEING AS WE HAVE A PROPER MOTION BEFORE US AND A SECOND, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. [1:07:12] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [1:07:12] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: AYE.

[1:07:12] President Andrea Jenkins: AYE. [1:07:12] City Clerk Casey Carl: THERE ARE NINE AYES. [1:07:12] President Andrea Jenkins: THAT CARRIES. AND THAT NOMINATION IS REFERRED TO THE BIZ COMMITTEE FOR THE SETTING OF A PUBLIC HEARING IN THE NEXT CYCLE. COLLEAGUES, DO WE HAVE -- WE DO HAVE A REQUEST FOR A CLOSED SESSION TODAY, BUT BEFORE WE MOVE TO CLOSED SESSION, I'D LIKE TO TAKE UP ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS FIRST. DO ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THIS MORNING? ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS? COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE. [1:07:57] Council Member Michael Rainville: THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I JUST WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE HOLY CROSS CHURCH FESTIVAL WILL BE THIS WEEKEND IN NORTHEAST MINNEAPOLIS. LOTS OF GOOD FOOD, MUSIC AND DANCING. [1:08:14] President Andrea Jenkins: WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, DID YOU HAVE YOUR HAND? [1:08:14] Council Member Jason Chavez: I DON'T.

THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THIS SETTLEMENT. [1:20:48] President Andrea Jenkins: COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI HAS MOVED THIS ITEM IS THERE A SECOND? [1:20:48] Council Member Jamal Osman: SECOND. [1:20:48] President Andrea Jenkins: ARE THERE ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. [1:21:03] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [1:21:03] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: AYE. [1:21:03] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [1:21:03] Council Member Andrew Johnson: AYE. [1:21:03] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. [1:21:03] Council Member Jamal Osman: AYE. [1:21:03] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE. [1:21:03] Council Member Elliott Payne: AYE.

AND BEFORE WE ADJOURN THIS MEETING, I RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAD BEEN JOINED BY COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE. AND I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE TO MAKE A REQUEST TO THE BODY. [1:21:37] Council Member Elliott Payne: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I FIRST WANT TO APOLOGIZE. I HAD TO MISS THE EARLIER PART OF THE MEETING BECAUSE I HAD TO ADDRESS SOME FAMILY MATTERS, BUT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER SO THAT I CAN HAVE MY RECORDED FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD. [1:22:16] City Clerk Casey Carl: I THINK THE MOTION TO CLARIFY IS A MOTION FROM COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE TO RECONSIDER THE VOTES ON ALL MATTERS TAKEN FROM THE COMMITTEE REPORTS TODAY AND TO ENTER IN HIS VOTE ACCORDINGLY. THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER NEEDS TO PASS FIRST AND THEN IF THE BODY PASSES THAT MOTION WE WOULD ASK COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE TO TELL US HIS VOTE SO WE CAN RECORD THOSE BEFORE WE ADJOURN THE MEETING. [1:22:16] Council Member Jason Chavez: SECOND. [1:22:16] President Andrea Jenkins: SO, WE HAVE MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE TO RECONSIDER IT'S BEEN SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. AND WE HAVE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS IN QUEUE. COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON AND THEN COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT. [1:22:48] Council Member Andrew Johnson: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M SURE THAT THE CLERK IS ALREADY ON TOP OF THIS. I'M USED TO WHEN A MOTION TO RECONSIDER OCCURS WE ALL HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS, RIGHT? [1:22:48] City Clerk Casey Carl: THROUGH THE PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, YOU ARE CORRECT. THE PROPER PROCEDURE WOULD BE TO TAKE UP A RECONSIDER ON EVERY VOTE WE TOOK AND DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE PRESIDENT FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE BODY UNLESS THERE'S ANY OBJECTION WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THIS SORT OF OMNIBUS MOTION FOR RECONSIDERING ALL THE VOTES. IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION THAT ONE VOTE WILL APPLY, SORT OF AS A CONSENT AGENDA PROCESS TO ALL THE VOTE. AND THEN COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE WILL GIVE US HIS VOTE AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE DURING THE MEETING AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO RECORD THAT BEFORE WE ADJOURN. [1:23:31] Council Member Andrew Johnson: AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, SO OUR VOTES WON'T CHANGE, OR WE WON'T HAVE TO VOTE ON THE PACKAGE OF OTHER ITEMS? [1:23:31] City Clerk Casey Carl: NO. UNLESS SOMEONE OBJECTS AND WE WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCEDURE, OTHERWISE THIS IS FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE BODY TO TAKE ONE VOTE TO ALLOW COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE THAT PRIVILEGE. [1:23:51] Council Vice President Linea Palmisano: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I GREATLY APPRECIATE FAMILY MATTERS AND ALSO TO THAT END, YOU KNOW THAT I MUST DECLARE IF WE'RE NOT TRYING TO MISS ANYTHING AROUND HERE, I HAVE BEEN LATE TO A MEETING BECAUSE I WAS IN A CLOSED SESSION AND NOT ABLE TO TAKE VOTES ONE TIME IN THE PAST. AND SO WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. SO I'M WONDERING IF WE ARE SETTING A PRECEDENT HERE IN THAT WE WILL ALWAYS ALLOW THIS FOR EVERYBODY AND AGAIN, I'M SYMPATHETIC TO COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE'S SITUATION, AND I WOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND VOTE YES ON THIS, BUT I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PRECEDENT WE'RE SETTING HERE FOR THE FUTURE. [1:24:32] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I WOULD SAY THAT THE PRECEDENT IS ONLY SET TO THE EXTENT THAT HAD BODY GREASE THAT THIS IS A GOOD PROCESS FOR US TO FOLLOW AND THAT DOING THIS ON THIS ONE TIME OCCASION FOR THE REASONS EXPRESSED DOESN'T ESTABLISH A PRECEDENT. [1:24:48] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, MR. CLERK. COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [1:24:48] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I GUESS I JUST WANTED TO KNOW KIND OF SIMILAR, IS THIS LEGAL? YOU CAN MISS THE MEETING AND THEN COME LATER AND VOTE? [1:25:04] City Clerk Casey Carl: MADAM PRESIDENT, I WILL QUICKLY JUMP IN TO SAY PROCEDURALLY, NOT LEGALLY, THIS IS NOT A QUESTION OF THE LAW. THIS IS A QUESTION OF THE BODY'S RULES AND PROCEDURES. AND THAT PROCEDURALLY COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE HAS AN EQUAL MEMBER OF THE BODY, HAS A RIGHT, THE MEETING HAS NOT ADJOURNED. IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT QUESTION IF THE MEETING HAD ADJOURNED. HE'S JOINED THE MEETING. HE HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY. HE HAS THE RIGHT TO REQUEST A RECONSIDERATION OF EVERY VOTE AND WE COULD GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS OR FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE BODY WE CAN MAKE THE RECONSIDERATION MOTION ONE TIME AND ALLOW HIM TO EXPRESS THAT VOTE. IT'S A MATTER OF DO WE WANT TO DO EVERY SINGLE VOTE OR ONE. BUT HE HAS THE RIGHT TO REQUEST THE BODY TO CONSIDER THAT RECONSIDERATION. [1:25:50] President Andrea Jenkins: DOES THAT SATISFY YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW? I DO THINK THERE'S A QUESTION OF WILL THE VOTES CHANGE THE OUTCOMES ON ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED? [1:26:16] City Clerk Casey Carl: MADAM PRESIDENT, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE, HE HAS YET TO PUBLICLY DECLARE HIS POSITION ON EACH OF THE VOTES WE TOOK BUT VERY QUICKLY WE WERE ABLE TO CONSULT BEFORE THE BODY RECONVENED HERE PUBLICLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HIS ADDITION OF VOTE ON ANY ITEM CHANGES THE OUTCOME AS IT WAS ALREADY REPORTED DURING THE MEETING. [1:26:39] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU. SO NOW WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE TO RECONSIDER. SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. WE'VE HAD DISCUSSION. I THINK FOR CLARITY, CAN WE JUST ONE LAST TIME, WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON IN TERMS OF RECONSIDERATION? [1:27:07] City Clerk Casey Carl: THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER IS A MOTION TO OPEN BACK UP THE AGENDA AS IT WERE, ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCLOSED BY VOTES OF THE COUNCIL. THE PURPOSE OF THE MOTION IS RESTRICTED TO ALLOWING ONE MEMBER, COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE, TO PUT ON RECORD HIS VOTE ON EACH OF THOSE ITEMS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONDUCTED. SO IT'S A ONE-TIME MOTION TO OPEN UP THE AGENDA SO THAT COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE CAN BE RECORDED AS VOTING ON THOSE ITEMS. AGAIN, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF ANY VOTE AS IT WAS DECLARED AND REPORTED IN THE MEETING BUT GIVES HIM THAT ABILITY TO DO SO PRIOR TO ADJOURNING THIS MEETING. [1:27:45] President Andrea Jenkins: SO, EVERY THEN DO WE GO THROUGH EACH COMPLETE REPORT AND RECORD THE VOTE? [1:28:03] City Clerk Casey Carl: WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT IF THIS MOTION PASSES. IF THIS MOTION PASSES WE WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE. COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE WILL TELL US HOW HE IS VOTING ON EACH THOSE ISSUES AND WE'LL BE DONE. [1:28:03] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, MR. CLERK. SO WE ARE NOW VOTING ON THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER. CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. [1:28:18] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [1:28:18] Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw: AYE. [1:28:18] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON. [1:28:18] Council Member Andrew Johnson: AYE. [1:28:18] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. [1:28:18] Council Member Jamal Osman: AYE. [1:28:18] City Clerk Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE. [1:28:18] Council Member Elliott Payne: AYE.

[1:28:18] City Clerk Casey Carl: CHAVEZ. [1:28:18] Council Member Jason Chavez: AYE. [1:28:18] City Clerk Casey Carl: VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO. [1:28:18] Council Vice President Linea Palmisano: AYE. [1:28:18] City Clerk Casey Carl: PRESIDENT JENKINS. [1:28:18] President Andrea Jenkins: AYE. [1:28:49] City Clerk Casey Carl: THERE ARE NINE AYES. [1:28:49] President Andrea Jenkins: THAT CARRIES. AND WE WILL NOW HEAR FROM COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE AS TO HIS VOTES ON THE ISSUES THAT HAVE COME BEFORE THIS BODY TODAY. [1:28:49] Council Member Elliott Payne: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS VOTING AYE ON ALL ITEMS EXCEPT FOR THE BIZ ITEM NUMBER 2. [1:29:04] City Clerk Casey Carl: AND AYE ON THE OVERRIDE? [1:29:04] Council Member Elliott Payne: CORRECT. [1:29:04] City Clerk Casey Carl: JUST FOR THE RECORD, ALSO ON UNFINISHED BUSINESS NUMBER 1 AN AYE VOTE? [1:29:04] Council Member Elliott Payne: YES, CORRECT. [1:29:04] City Clerk Casey Carl: AND AGAIN, MADAM PRESIDENT AND FOR THE BODY, THE VOTES THAT HE JUST EXPRESSED DO NOT CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF ANY OF THE ITEMS, INCLUDING THE TWO THAT WERE PULLED OUT AND SPECIFIED. [1:29:23] President Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU. ON BIZ 2. WITH THAT, WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR BUSINESS TODAY. AND WITH NOTHING FURTHER TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND WITHOUT OBJECTION, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
