[0:26] **Elliott Payne**: GOOD AFTERNOON AND HAPPY PIE DAY. MY NAME IS [ELLIOTT PAYNE], I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL. I'M GOING TO CALL THIS ORDER -- I'LL CALL TO ORDER THIS SPECIAL MEETING FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 14TH AND WE'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL TO PROVE THE PRESENCE OF A QUORUM. (ROLL CALL.) **Casey Carl**: THERE ARE 13 MEMBERS PRESENT. [1:07] **Elliott Payne**: LET THE RECORD REFLECT, WE HAVE A QUORUM. THERE'S ONE ITEM BEFORE US TODAY AS REFLECTED IN THE MAYORAL CALL FOR THIS SPECIAL MEETING TO CONSIDER THE MAYOR'S VETO OF ORDINANCE 2024-009 FROM THE MARCH 7TH COUNCIL MEETING THAT AMENDED PROVISIONS ESTABLISHING MINIMUM DRIVER COMPENSATION. I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO ADVISE US OF OUR PROCEDURES ON THAT VETO. [1:32] **Casey Carl**: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. AS YOU NOTED, ORDINANCE 2024-009 AMENDS THE CITY'S LICENSES AND BUSINESS REGULATIONS CODE IN TITLE 13 TO ESTABLISH MINIMUM COMPENSATION FOR TRANSPORTATION RIDE-SHARE WORKERS. ALL CONTAINED IN LIMS FILE NO. 2024-00146. IT WAS RETURNED WITH THE MAYOR'S VETO TOGETHER WITH HIS OBJECTIONS TO THAT ACT. [1:54] PURSUANT TO THE CITY CHARTER, AN ACT VETOED BY THE MAYOR IS RETURNED FOR AUTOMATIC RECONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL TO DETERMINE IF THE COUNCIL WILL OVERRIDE THE MAYOR'S VETO AND PASS ITS ORIGINAL ACT NEVERTHELESS THE MAYOR'S OBJECTIONS. UNDER THAT RULE, THE RECONSIDERED ACTION IS PLACED BEFORE THE BODY IN THE SAME FORM. THAT MEANS WITH NO DEBATE, NO FURTHER AMENDMENT. [2:18] AND THE IMMEDIATE PENDING QUESTION TO BE DECIDED IS AS FOLLOWS: SHALL THE DECISION OF THE CITY COUNCIL STAND NEVERTHELESS THE VETO OF THE MAYOR. IF TWO-THIRDS OF THE CITY COUNCIL VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, THE MAYOR'S VETO IS OVERRIDDEN AND THE ORIGINAL ACT PASSED BY COUNCIL IS ADOPTED. THAT MEANS AN OVERRIDE REQUIRES AT LEAST A MINIMUM OF 9 AFFIRMATIVE VOTES; OTHERWISE, THE MAYOR'S VETO IS SUSTAINED AND THE ORIGINAL ACT FAILS. [2:44] IN SHORT, THE COUNCIL NEEDS 9 AFFIRMATIVE VOTES TO PASS THE ORIGINAL ACT AGAIN. WITH THAT, MR. PRESIDENT, I'M READY TO CALL THE ROLL ON THE RECONSIDERATION. **Elliott Payne**: THANK YOU, MR. CARL. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CLERK ON THIS PROCEDURE? OKAY. [3:00] TO RESTATE, A VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE IS TO OVERRIDE THE VETO. A NAY VOTE WOULD BE TO SUSTAIN THE VETO. I WILL HAVE THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. (ROLL CALL.) **Casey Carl**: THERE ARE 10 AYES AND 3 NAYS. [3:38] (APPLAUSE.) **Elliott Payne**: THAT CARRIES AND THE VETO IS OVERRIDDEN. (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.) PLEASE -- PLEASE -- PLEASE. [3:54] WITH THAT WE'VE COMPLETED OUR BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND WITHOUT OBJECTION THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
