Location unavailable

• Approved the transportation ride share worker protections ordinance by a vote of 9-4. Amendments to add data collection and evaluation were added and the effective date was moved to May 1st, 2024.

  • Mayor Jacob Frey vetoed the ordinance the next day, and called a special meeting for March 14 to consider the veto override.
  • The council will have the votes needed to override the veto if all council members vote the same way.
  • Vote Count
  • Yes: Chowdury, Chavez, Wonsley, Payne,
  • Chughtai, Cashman, Ellison, Jenkins, Osman
  • No: Rainville, Vetaw, Palmisano, Koski

• “Returned to author” (killed) the initiative and referendum charter amendment, by a unanimous vote. Council members expressed their need for more time to consider the language and do research. Author CM Wonsley made the motion to return to author. This likely precludes the amendment appearing on the November 2024 ballot.

• Approved Effective Law Enforcement for All (ELEFA), by a unanimous vote, as the Independent Evaluator for the court enforceable settlement agreement between the City of Minneapolis, Minneapolis Police Department, and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
