“THANK YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAIN. I don't know if there's a rash of break-ins that are happening in Hawthorne community over in North Minneapolis, but I have one of these alarm systems that whistles at people when they are in your zone. So you can set up in your app what your zone is about where you want it to alert you. So it was funny because, not funny like ha-ha, but it was strange because just yesterday I sent a video, a copy of the video to one of my constituents who had told me just literally right up the street from his house where someone had broken into his home just like not even…”

“Thank you. I was wondering, does this include like fire alarms and things like that, medical alert devices and stuff like that? Because people have those things in their home too. So if a fire alarm goes off in someone's home, you want it to be loud enough to where a neighbor next door could hear right especially if someone may be living alone or whatever else the case is and you want it to be an annoying sound so that someone knows to call for help in the event that maybe you can't right so i'm trying to is does this can you answer that for me please yes absolutely so council president payne”

“Yeah, but if a motion sensor device, I mean, you can adjust the settings. The point is you can adjust the settings, that it doesn't pick up a rabbit or a squirrel or a butterfly or a bird, right? You can have it so that it detects people or, you know what I'm saying, a package, right? Right. So like my security system will say, yes, there's been a package delivered or there is a person lingering in your you know what I mean? Like so I know someone is at my door or whatever else the case is. But then if someone then breaks in. and there is a glass break, yeah, that thing's going to sing like,…”

“And that would be fully allowed. So those those medical emergency and medical alert things. But as far as the cameras whistling at somebody or saying, we see you, you're being watched, you're being observed, making those because that's what it typically does. or makes a chiming sound.”

“Thank you, President Payne. I want to say that this sounds really good and I am excited to hear that this is coming forward. Animals are a lot of times emotional support for individuals and definitely serve as a healing mechanism for individuals who may be just as impacted or anyone, period. I don't think that there should be any additional fees around having those animals. When you have an emotional support animal, even when you're living in specific housing, you don't have to pay those additional pet deposits or whatever else the case is, and this removes a great deal of barriers. I would…”

“I RESPECT THAT, COUNCIL COLLEAGUE PALMASANO, AND I something that you have a broad vision for, and I would like to see this board and commissions be successful. As a new council member, these things were just brought to my understanding per the report of the chair in our budget committee meeting, and I truly would like to support, but I don't feel like I have enough information I did have a conversation with our CMC and talk to them about, you know, how boards and commissions could be better introduced to new council members so that we have a well-informed decision.

“OK, thank you for that clarification, clerk, because he made a lot of the chair when he came and presented, made a lot of recommendations and saying we want to do this and it's got to be this and it needs to be that. And so I'm in honesty, I'm confused at this moment as to what it is that we're saying that we're doing, what it means to be. to what it was to be one who's on first who's on 3rd I'm not exactly sure but I want to make a well-informed decision about this and there were a lot of recommendations and requests that the chair when he presented before budget that he stated and this was…”

“Thank you for that, Director Hanson. I just want to state that all 211 residents of Heritage Park deserve a very human-centered support in relocation assistance. And that we have, I understand that SRF currently does not have a standing contract, but neither do any of the organizations that have shown up and been present in supporting the residents of Heritage Park. And that is notable. And so I want to ensure that, again, this is a very human centered and very delicate approach and that all of the autonomy that is centered around choice, family support, schools, transportation, you know,…”

“FORWARD. FORWARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. It pains me to know that there is language that is marginalizing and disenfranchising members of our community because of the simple fact, and like I said this at our Committee of the Whole meeting, I don't know any aliens. I've never seen any before in my life. These are residents of our city.
