INCREDIBLE WAY TO START OUR FULL COUNCIL MEETING. TODAY WE'RE PASSING A RESOLUTION CELEBRATING LATINO HERITAGE MONTH. WHEREAS THE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH IS CELEBRATED IN THE UNITED STATES FROM SEPTEMBER 15TH TO OCTOBER 15TH AND THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS CELEBRATES IT AS LATINO HERITAGE MONTH AND WHERE THE TERM LATINO, LATINA, LATINX ARE USED AS DIVERSE ETHNIC GROUP REPRESENTED DURING LATINO HERITAGE MONTH.

[2:38] Jason Chavez: STATEWIDE THERE IS ABOUT 345,000 PEOPLE IDENTIFIED AS HISPANIC OR LATINO IN MINNESOTA. THAT MEANS 6% OF THE STATE'S POPULATION AND NATIONWIDE THERE ARE 62 MILLION LATINO FOLKS IN THE U.S. OR ALMOST 19% OF ITS POPULATION. AND WHEREAS MANY IN THE MINNEAPOLIS LATINO COMMUNITY INCLUDE INDIVIDUALS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES, NATURALIZED CITIZENS IMMIGRANTS REFUGEES AND MIXED STATUS FAMILIES WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CITY'S CULTURE, ECONOMY, AND NEIGHBORHOODS AND DESERVE TO FEEL SAFE, VALUED AND WELCOME. [3:08] Jason Chavez: AND WHEREAS DESPITE CHALLENGES SUCH AS HEIGHTENED IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THE LATINO, LATINA COMMUNITY IN MINNEAPOLIS CONTINUE TO DEMONSTRATE ITS RESILIENCE, CREATIVITY THAT STRENGTHENS THE CITY. [3:24] Jason Chavez: AND THIS IS ALSO A TIME TO AFFIRM THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS'S COMMITMENT TO BEING A WELCOMING CITY TO ALL RESIDENTS REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS AND TO UPLIFT THE HOPE AND SENSE OF BELONGING IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AND WHEREAS MANY LATINOS AND LATINAS HAVE MADE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORLD INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TAKING AN OPPORTUNITY THIS MONTH TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE WHO HAVE DONE SO IS AN INSPIRATION FOR ALL OF US. [3:47] Jason Chavez: WHEREAS, OUR LEADERS INCLUDING IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE ADVOCATES IN MINNEAPOLIS WORK EVERY DAY TO DEFEND THE DIGNITY AND RIGHTS OF THEIR COMMUNITY, ARTISTS, EDUCATORS AND CULTURAL LEADERS FROM OUR COMMUNITY, MANY OF WHOM ARE IMMIGRANTS AND CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANTS SHARE THEIR STORIES AND CREATIVITY BUILDING BRIDGES OF BELONGING ACROSS MINNEAPOLIS. [4:08] Jason Chavez: AND WHEREAS UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, OUR COMMUNITY HAS CONTINUED TO SUFFER ACROSS THE COUNTRY DUE TO HARMFUL POLICIES TARGETING OUR COMMUNITIES. YET WE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN RESILIENT AND FIERCE IN UPLIFTING OUR COMMUNITIES AND HOLDING STRONG TO OUR VALUES OF HOPE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

ON BEHALF OF OUR LOCAL WORKFORCE BOARD, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DECLARING SEPTEMBER AS OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MONTH AND FOR RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS WORK TO OUR CITY. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IS MORE THAN HELPING PEOPLE FIND JOBS. IT'S ABOUT CREATING OPPORTUNITIES, HELPING RESIDENTS BUILD THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED, SUPPORTING BUSINESSES AND FINDING THE TALENT THEY NEED TO GROW AND STRENGTHENING OUR LOCAL ECONOMY FOR EVERYONE. [15:36] Dr. Watson: OUR PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS REACH ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.

BY DECLARING SEPTEMBER AS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MONTH, YOU SHINE A LIGHT ON THE INVESTMENTS WE'RE MAKING TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH MEANINGFUL CAREERS AND EMPLOYERS WITH THE SKILLED TALENT THAT THEY NEED. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IS ABOUT MORE THAN TRAINING. IT'S ABOUT BUILDING THRIVING COMMUNITIES. [17:07] Community Partner: TOO MANY RESIDENTS STILL FACE BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT, BUT TOGETHER WE CAN REMOVE THOSE OBSTACLES. WHEN WE DO, WE STRENGTHEN ECONOMIC MOBILITY, FOSTER EQUITY, AND ENSURE EVERY MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED.

THESE ITEM NUMBER 3 AND 7 ARE JUST TWO GIFT ACCEPTANCES FROM THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENTERPRISE COMMITTEE REPORT, THEY ARE UNIQUE TO ME AND THE REASON I'M PULLING THEM IS THESE ARE BOTH GIFT ACCEPTANCES THAT ARE COMING FOR APPROVAL BEFORE THE BODY AFTER THE GIFT HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED AND HAS HAPPENED. [34:39] Aisha Chughtai: WE HAVE A REALLY CLEAR CITY ADOPTED POLICY THAT OUTLINES HOW GIFT ACCEPTANCES WORK AND THERE ARE FEW TYPES OF THINGS THAT REQUIRE A HIGHER THRESHOLD OF SUPPORT FROM THIS BODY FOR APPROVAL AND THEY ARE THINGS THAT DEMONSTRATE A HIGHER JUST BAR THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEARED. [35:08] Aisha Chughtai: AND THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUE THAT I HAVE SEEN ON THE ADMINISTRATION ENTERPRISE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WHERE WE HAVE GIFT ACCEPTANCES THAT ARE COMING IN AFTER THE GIFT HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED AND SOMETHING THAT'S A REALLY CLEAR VIOLATION OF OUR CITY POLICY. [35:32] Aisha Chughtai: AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN RAISED IN COMMITTEE SEVERAL TIMES, COUNCIL SEVERAL TIMES. AND I THINK FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE IMPORTANCE AND THE URGENCY OF FOLLOWING OUR ADOPTED POLICY IS JUST NOT BEING RECEIVED OR UNDERSTOOD. [35:55] Aisha Chughtai: SO I WANTED TO MAKE A POINT TO PULL THESE ITEMS AND STATE THAT LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THAT FROM HERE ON OUT, I'T NOT GOING TO EVER BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A GIFT ACCEPTANCE THAT IS RETROACTIVE. SO I'LL BE VOTING AGAINST THESE ITEMS AND THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. [36:14] Elliott Payne: SEEING NO ONE ELSE LEFT IN QUEUE, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL.

AND THAT COMPLETES THE REPORTS OF OUR STANDING COMMITTEES OTHER THAN BIS ITEM NUMBER ONE WHICH IS THE SEVEN POINTS INCLUSIONARY ZONING TIF PLAN. I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI. [45:33] Aisha Chughtai: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE BODY'S FLEXIBILITY WITH MOVING THIS ITEM TO THE END OF OUR AGENDA AND I AM REALLY EXCITED TO MOVE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM AND ASK FOR A SECOND. [45:55] Aurin Chowdhury: SECOND. [45:55] Elliott Payne: THIS ITEM HAS BEEN MOVED FOR APPROVAL AND HAS BEEN SECONDED. I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY. [46:13] Aurin Chowdhury: THANK YOU SO MUCH, PRESIDENT PAYNE, COLLEAGUE, OUR STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING REALLY, REALLY HARD TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A SOLID AGREEMENT. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THIS PROJECT MOVE FORWARD. AND WE HAD A SHORT DISCUSSION IN BUSINESS, HOUSING, AND ZONING ABOUT ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH PREVAILING WAGE FOR THE WORKERS THAT WILL BE BUILDING THIS PROJECT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK DIRECTOR HANSEN TO COME UP THROUGH THE CHAIR. [46:31] Elliott Payne: DIRECTOR HANSEN, WELCOME. [46:31] Aurin Chowdhury: THANK YOU, DIRECTOR HANSEN. I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF YOU COULD SHARE WITH US IN THE AGREEMENT WHAT WILL BE THERE TO REQUIRE COMPLIANCE WITH THE PREVAILING STATE WAGE AND CITY CODE? [46:59] Eric Hansen: COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE AND CHOWDHURY, IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE THIS MORNING TO TALK ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT TO REDEVELOP THE SEVEN POINTS PROJECT IN UPTOWN. AS WE ALL KNOW UPTOWN HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH A MINUTE AND THIS IS A VERY POSITIVE THING FOR US TO SEE, DENSIFYING A CORNER. AND WE'RE HAPPY WE'RE GETTING TO THIS POINT. [47:25] Eric Hansen: THE QUESTION YOU ASKED ABOUT PREVAILING WAGE, WE HAVE A CITY POLICY, LOCAL POLICY ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THE TRADES WHEN THEY'RE GETTING CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS ARE GETTING PAID WHATEVER EVERYBODY ELSE IS GETTING PAID IN THEIR SPECIFIC TRADE AND THAT'S WHAT PREVAILING WAGE IS. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S AN INTEREST TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS ARE GETTING THE WAGES THAT THEY'RE DUE AND THEY HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO PROACTIVELY AND REGULARLY SUBMIT PAYROLLS TO OUR CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT SO WE CAN MONITOR AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS GETTING PAID APPROPRIATELY. [48:05] Eric Hansen: CPED WILL BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH CIVIL RIGHTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE MONITORING THIS PROJECT. THERE'S A SET OF GUIDELINES THAT WILL GO INTO CONTRACT AROUND THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AGREEMENT WITH DORAN AROUND MONTHLY MONITORING THAT CIVIL RIGHTS HAS ARTICULATED IN WRITING. SO WE'LL BE MONITORING IT THROUGH REGULAR CONTRACTS THROUGH OUR CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT, CPED WILL BE COLLABORATING WITH THOSE EFFORTS. [48:51] Aurin Chowdhury: GREAT, SO JUST TO SHORTEN IT UP IN THIS AGREEMENT THERE IS GOING TO BE THE MONITORING THAT OCCURS WITH CIVIL RIGHTS IN SEVERAL PROJECTS TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S COMPLIANCE WITH THE PREVAILING WAGE, AND IT'S PROACTIVE MONITORING. ONE THING TO PUT ON THE RECORD, I'M UNCLEAR ON IF IT'S GOING TO BE BIWEEKLY OR MONTHLY. I ALSO SEE OUR CIVIL RIGHTS DIRECTOR IS HERE, AND MAYBE YOU OR HER COULD SPEAK TO THE MECHANISM IN WHICH MONITORING WILL OCCUR. [49:06] Eric Hansen: COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE AND CHOWDHURY, I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER TO THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL RIGHTS FOR THE SPECIFIC TACTICAL EXPERIENCE THAT THEY WILL HAVE. WELCOME DIRECTOR. [49:21] Alberder Gillespie: THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBERS, APPRECIATE YOU ALLOWING US TO SPEAK TO THIS. I'M GOING TO DEFER TO OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR WHO IS MOST SPECIALLY IN TUNED WITH THESE ISSUES TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. [49:21] Deputy Director (Civil Rights): THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE AND COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY. SO WITH THIS CONTRACT, WE WILL MEET WITH THEM MONTHLY TO TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT, ACTIVITIES ON THE PROJECT. THE CONTRACTORS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY EITHER BIWEEKLY OR WEEKLY AND THEN REPORT THAT THE SAME WAY. WE WOULD REVIEW THE PAYROLLS THAT THEY SUBMIT TO US, AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES, WE WOULD RESOLVE ANY ISSUES ON THE CONTRACT. [50:03] Aurin Chowdhury: I'M GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF A NOTE FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY THAT IT IS BIWEEKLY PAY. [50:18] Deputy Director (Civil Rights): OKAY, SOME CONTRACTORS CHOOSE TO PAY WEEKLY, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPORT BIWEEKLY AND THEN WE WOULD MEET WITH THEM MONTHLY IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES AND TRY TO RESOLVE THOSE ISSUES. [50:18] Aurin Chowdhury: WONDERFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO CPED AND CIVIL RIGHTS AND OUR CITY ATTORNEYS FOR WORKING ON THIS. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT DORAN HAS AGREED TO THIS AND IS WILLING TO WORK IN GOOD FAITH TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS PROJECT IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY OUR COMMUNITY AND THE WORKERS THAT ARE GOING TO SHAPE IT. [50:40] Elliott Payne: THANK YOU. VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI. [50:40] Aisha Chughtai: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I JUST WANT TO JOIN COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY IN EXPRESSING SINCERE APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE FOR OUR STAFF THAT HAVE WORKED WITH US SO DILIGENTLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THESE OVER THE COURSE OF THIS MORNING JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO APPROVE SOMETHING THAT IS IN LINE WITH WHAT WE KNOW OUR COMMUNITY IS ASKING FOR, WHAT WE KNOW OUR MINNEAPOLIS VALUES ARE AND OUR UPTOWN VALUES ARE. THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL. AND I SINCERELY CANNOT THANK DIRECTOR HANSEN AND BOTH THE DIRECTORS FROM CIVIL RIGHTS WHO ARE HERE ALONG WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR WORKING TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK. [51:39] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. [51:39] Katie Cashman: THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I WANTED TO ECHO MY THANKS FOR COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY AND COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI FOR WORKING ON THIS IN THE LAST 12 HOURS OR SO. AND REALLY THANK THE STAFF AT CPED FOR MOVING TO ADVANCE THIS PROJECT. WE HAVEN'T HAD A BIG HOUSING PROJECT IN UPTOWN FOR A LONG TIME. AND IT'S NOT WITHOUT CITY INTERVENTION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CITY IS PLAYING A HUGE ROLE IN SPURRING DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. [52:15] Katie Cashman: THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT HOUSING PROJECT. THERE ARE GOING TO BE 20% OF THE UNITS AT 50% AMI. SO AFFORDABLE. 46% OF THE UNITS WILL BE AT 40% AMI. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S A REALLY HEALTHY MIX OF HOUSING TYPES AND AFFORDABILITY WITHIN THIS BUILDING THAT'S COMING TO THE CORNER OF 31st AND HENNEPIN. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THAT WE'RE ABLE TO UPHOLD OUR PREVAILING WAGE AND MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE IS BEING COMPENSATED FAIRLY TO THE TRADES WHO WITHOUT THEM THIS COULDN'T BE POSSIBLE. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT WE'RE MOVING THIS TODAY AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY GOOD NEWS FOR UPTOWN. [53:00] Elliott Payne: SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL ON BIS ITEM ONE. [53:16] Casey Carl: COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [53:16] LaTrisha Vetaw: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: ELLISON. [53:16] Jeremiah Ellison: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: KOSKI. [53:16] Emily Koski: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: JENKINS. [53:16] Andrea Jenkins: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: PALMISANO. [53:16] Linea Palmisano: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: CHOWDHURY. [53:16] Aurin Chowdhury: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: CASHMAN. [53:16] Katie Cashman: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: OSMAN. [53:16] Jamal Osman: AYE. [53:16] Casey Carl: RAINVILLE. [53:31] Michael Rainville: AYE. [53:31] Casey Carl: CHAVEZ. [53:31] Jason Chavez: AYE. [53:31] Casey Carl: COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI. [53:31] Aisha Chughtai: AYE. [53:31] Casey Carl: PRESIDENT PAYNE. [53:31] Elliott Payne: AYE. [53:31] Casey Carl: THERE ARE 12 AYES. [53:48] Elliott Payne: THAT ITEM CARRIES. AND THAT COMPLETES ALL ITEMS ON OUR COMMITTEE AGENDAS. THE NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS IS NOTICE OF BUSINESS. WE HAVE TWO NOTICES TO INTRODUCE AT OUR NEXT MEETING, THE SUBJECT OF ORDINANCES AMENDING APPENDICES C2 AND D2 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES MODIFYING THE GAS AND FRANCHISE FEE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE NOTICES? VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI? [53:48] Aisha Chughtai: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. JUST WOULD LIKE TO NOTE FOR OUR CLERKS HERE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A COAUTHOR ON THESE TWO NOTICES. EXCITED TO WORK OUR LEADERS ON THE CLIMATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE TO ADVANCE THIS REALLY IMPORTANT WORK. [54:25] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [54:25] LaTrisha Vetaw: THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS IN COMMITTEE. AND MY COMMENTS AROUND THIS IS REALLY TO CAUTION US ABOUT THE BURDEN THAT THESE ADDITIONAL FEES CAN HAVE ON SOME RESIDENTS. I KNOW IT CAME UP THAT IT MIGHT JUST BE A FEW DOLLARS. BUT FOR SOME THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. AND SO I JUST WANT US TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AND KNOW THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE TOP CONVERSATION FOR ME. I KNOW THIS IS JUST THE NOTICE, BUT THIS IS ANOTHER BURDEN ON MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY ONES IN WARD 4 WHO ALREADY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE PAYING OUT A LOT OF MONEY AND THINGS ARE JUST GETTING LESS AFFORDABLE. [55:25] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. [55:25] Linea Palmisano: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I AGREE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE'S ANOTHER PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN MIND AND WE WERE CAUTIONED BACK IN 2023 THAT AN INCREASE COULD DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY MOST DISADVANTAGED WHO WE ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF ENERGY COST BURDEN. YOU KNOW, TWO OF THE GOALS OF OUR CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN ARE TO ENSURE ALL OUR 1 TO 4 HOMES ARE ADEQUATELY INSULATED AND WEATHERIZED BY 2040 IN THE GREEN ZONES. [56:04] Linea Palmisano: AND THE SECOND ONE BEING ELIMINATE THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH A HOUSING ENERGY BURDEN OVER 6% BY 2030. SO WE AREN'T IN 2040, AND WE'RE NOT IN 2030. BUT THAT IS STILL AN AMBITIOUS, THOUGH MEASURED WORTHY, GOAL. IN OUR CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN, IT SHOWS THAT RESIDENTS OF SOME PARTS OF OUR CITY INCLUDING IN COUNCILMEMBER VETAW'S WARD IN THE JORDAN NEIGHBORHOOD PAY ON AVERAGE 19.5% OF THEIR MONTHLY INCOME FOR UTILITY BILLS. 19.5%. THAT IS THEIR HOUSING ENERGY BURDEN. SO I'M SURE THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF OUR RESOURCES HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED SO FAR TO WEATHERIZE THEIR HOMES. BUT WE ARE FAR FROM FINISHED AND THIS WOULD ONLY MAKE US FURTHER BEHIND. THANK YOU. [56:55] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER JENKINS. [56:55] Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I HAVE TO CONCUR. AND I GUESS I WOULD JUST ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, UTILITY COSTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISING PARTICULARLY WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. AND ALSO THE CUTTING OF SUPPORTS FOR UTILITY PAYMENTS, IT IS GOING TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WE ARE STATING WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. [57:50] Andrea Jenkins: AND I'VE BEEN EXPRESSING THIS CONSISTENTLY ALL ALONG. AND I THINK WE ARE ON A GOOD PATH NOW, BUT TO SORT OF CREATE MORE OF A UTILITY COST BURDEN, I THINK IT WILL HAVE NEGATIVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL REALLY IMPACT THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE. [58:26] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. [58:26] Katie Cashman: THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I JUST WANT TO COUNTER THIS NARRATIVE. BECAUSE I THINK THESE INVESTMENTS THAT THE CITY MAKES ARE HOW WE LOWER ENERGY COSTS FOR THE FAMILIES LIVING IN THE GREEN ZONES IN WARD 4 AND WARD 8, BOTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND THE NORTH SIDE. AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE REALLY STRONG WEATHERIZATION AND RETROFITTING PROGRAMS AT THE CITY. HOWEVER, THEY'RE NOT FUNDED AT THE LEVEL THAT THEY NEED TO BE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE BENEFITS THAT ARE IN OUR CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN TO REDUCE THE ENERGY BURDEN BY 2030 AND TO WEATHERIZE AND RETROFIT ALL 1 TO 4 UNIT BUILDINGS BY 2040. [59:04] Katie Cashman: IF WE ARE GOING TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, WE NEED FUNDING TO DO IT. AND THESE FRANCHISE FEES ARE NOT RAISING THE BILLS ON UTILITY PAYERS, IT'S ACTUALLY THE UTILITY'S DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO RAISE BILLS ON THEIR RATE PAYERS. AND THAT GETS APPROVED BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. AND SO THIS IS WHAT THE CITY HAS IN OUR TOOLBOX IN ORDER TO GENERATE THE FUNDING FROM THE UTILITIES IN ORDER TO DO THIS WORK, AND WE ARE ALL DEEPLY COMMITTED TO THIS WORK. I KNOW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU VOTED YES ON THE CLIMATE AND EQUITY PLAN IN 2023. IF WE'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS, WE NEED TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT FUNDING IT. AND THAT'S WHAT THE ORDINANCE CHANGES ARE INTENDED TO DO. [59:53] Elliott Payne: SEEING NO ONE ELSE LEFT IN QUEUE, THAT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME. THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS THE INTRODUCTION AND REFERRAL CALENDAR. WE HAVE THREE ITEMS TODAY. FIRST, PURSUANT TO NOTICE, I MOVE TO INTRODUCE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR FIRST READING AND REFERRAL TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE AMENDING PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE JOINT DISPARITY STUDY, EXPIRATION OF THE CHAPTER AND ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM. [1:00:39] Elliott Payne: SECOND, PURSUANT TO NOTICE COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY MOVES TO INTRODUCE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OFFENSES MISCELLANEOUS CODE FOR POSSESSION, STORAGE, AND USE OF FIREARMS. AND FINALLY, COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI INTRODUCES AN ORDINANCE TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE ADDRESSING ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS AND EXEMPTIONS. CAN I HAVE A MOTION? [1:00:55] Aisha Chughtai: SO MOVED. [1:00:55] Jason Chavez: SECOND. [1:00:55] Elliott Payne: IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY. [1:00:55] Aurin Chowdhury: I'LL BE VERY QUICK JUST SO MY COLLEAGUES ARE AWARE WHAT I'M NOTICING. OBVIOUSLY OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN DEEPLY IMPACTED BY THE SCOURGE AND PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMIC THAT IS GUN VIOLENCE. OUR HEARTS CONTINUE TO BE WITH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THE FAMILIES OF ANNUNCIATION, THOSE IMPACTED AT 29TH AND CLINTON AND OF COURSE THE MASS SHOOTINGS THAT TOOK PLACE RECENTLY JUST A WEEK AGO, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. [1:01:32] Aurin Chowdhury: THIS IS AN EFFORT FOR US TO START PROACTIVELY WORKING ON LOCAL LEVEL GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION THAT CAN BE ENACTED ONCE STATE LAW THAT PREEMPTS US IS LIFTED. WE HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD. WE LIKELY HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION THAT THE GOVERNOR WILL CALL AND OUR STATE LEGISLATORS IN THE SENATE HAVE ALREADY STARTED A WORKING GROUP WHERE THEY ARE LOOKING AT SEVERAL BILLS AND HAVING DISCUSSIONS AND SEVERAL OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE SHOWNUP MANY TIMES TO SHARE THEIR STORIES AND GIVE TESTIMONY ON HOW THEY HAVE BEEN IMPACTED. [1:02:12] Aurin Chowdhury: AND SO OUR INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS TEAM IS TRACKING THIS AND WE ARE ALSO LOCKING ARMS WITH OTHER CITIES, THE CITY OF ST. PAUL IS ALSO DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR. SO I'M REALLY GLAD THAT THIS IS BEING INTRODUCED AND REFERRED TODAY, AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR SUPPORTING THIS WORK AND REALLY GRATEFUL TO ALL OF THE ADVOCATES THAT HAVE BEEN SHOWING UP TO OUR CITY HALL AND TO OUR COMMUNITY. [1:02:41] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER JENKINS. [1:02:41] Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. AND I JUST WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY FOR BRINGING THIS NOTICE FORWARD TODAY. I WORKED WITH THE POLICY AND RESEARCH TEAM EARLIER THIS YEAR TO TRY AND BRING A VERY SIMILAR PROPOSAL FORWARD AND, YOU KNOW, WAS TOLD THAT WE WERE PREEMPTED BY THE STATE TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. SO I'M JUST HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN PROCEED WITH SOME LOCAL MEASURES TO TRY TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE AND GUN OWNERSHIP IN OUR COMMUNITIES. [1:03:32] Andrea Jenkins: AND HOPEFULLY, COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY, WE CAN ADD IN GUNS IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS LIKE CITY HALL WHICH IS, I THINK THERE'S A DISCUSSION ABOUT BANNING GUNS AT THE STATE CAPITOL FINALLY.

[1:05:38] Linea Palmisano: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT KNOWN IN THE SPIRIT OF GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION THAT THERE'S AN EVENT GOING ON OF AN UPDATE AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATION WHERE WE'LL GET, COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL GET STATUS ON A LEGISLATIVE CLOSED SESSION FROM LOCAL POLITICAL LEADERS AND HAVE SOME OTHER CONVERSATION. IT'S TONIGHT FROM 7:00 TO 9:00 AT WHAT USED TO BE CALLED SOLOMON'S PORCH AND NOW IS THE MARAKI CENTER AT 100 WEST 46TH STREET. SO IT'S 7:00 TO 9:00 MORE OF A DROP IN TYPE THING. IT'S PRETTY EASILY FOUND ONLINE. [1:06:21] Linea Palmisano: BUT YOU'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE, WORK IN SMALL GROUPS TO TAKE SOME MEANINGFUL TYPE OF ACTION, PARTICIPATE IN A COMMUNAL PROJECT, BANNER MAKING PROJECT AND HOPEFULLY FEELING A LITTLE BIT MORE EMPOWERED RIGHT NOW ON THE EFFORT FOR GUN VIOLENCE. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT THIS EFFORT IS BEING PUT ON BY THE SOUTHWEST ALLIANCE FOR EQUITY AND THEY'RE CONNECTED TO THE MOMS DEMAND ACTION IN EVERY TOWN FOR GUN SAFETY GROUPS. AND SO THAT'S WHO IS SPONSORING THIS EVENT TONIGHT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. I WANTED TO SHARE THAT, THOUGH I WON'T BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY MAKE IT DUE TO A FAMILY COMMITMENT. THANKS. [1:07:02] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER JENKINS. [1:07:02] Andrea Jenkins: THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I GUESS I WOULD JUST ANNOUNCE THAT ON SATURDAY IT'S THE TRANSFORMING FAMILIES IS HOSTING AN EVENT CALLED THE DAY OF THE TRANSGENDER CHILD. AND IT IS, YOU KNOW, IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE ATTACKS ON THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY YOUNG PEOPLE, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE STAND UP AND SUPPORT THIS MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO SUPPORT THEM IN RECEIVING LIFE-SAVING HEALTH CARE AND SUPPORT. [1:07:53] Andrea Jenkins: AND SO, JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT WILL BE HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND. THERE'S A LOT OF RUMORS THAT THERE WILL BE SOME EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT ARE COMING DOWN THAT WILL BE POTENTIALLY ADDING LEFT-LEANING GROUPS INCLUDING LGBT ORGANIZATIONS AND SPECIFICALLY TRANSGENDER ORGANIZATIONS AS TERRORIST GROUPS. HOPE THAT THOSE RUMORS ARE NOT TRUE, BUT WE CERTAINLY NEED TO STAND UP FOR THESE COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU. [1:08:24] Elliott Payne: COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE. [1:08:24] Michael Rainville: THANK YOU.
