Public Safety during Trials

City leaders provided a briefing March 1 for the City Council on preparations for the upcoming Derek Chauvin trial. 
The Minneapolis Police Department is part of Operation Safety Net, which brings together local and state law enforcement agencies under a unified command to respond to any civil unrest interrupting peaceful protests during the upcoming trial. 
Throughout the trials, the City’s communications and engagement teams will be working with partners from multiple jurisdictions in a joint information system to keep the public informed using a coordinated communications and engagement strategy. Our goal is to create multiple channels to share timely and relevant information, and receive ongoing feedback from the community.

Mpls parks!
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) voted at its Jan. 6 meeting to extend the period for public comment on its draft Parks for All 10-year comprehensive plan to July 18, 2021.

Among other things, the MPBR is proposing an expansion in its mission beyond environment and recreation, a new vision for the Grand Rounds, and that considerations such as affordable housing, fiscal sustainability, and indigenous communities play a role in disposing of parklands.

CIDNA's priorities for the parks include maintenance, expanded tree canopy, improved water quality, and opportunities to enjoy natural areas and wildlife.

What are your park priorities?

Minneapolis unveils new vaccination web tool
The City of Minneapolis has developed a new web tool to help residents find information in multiple languages on the current status of the vaccination rollout, what to expect when getting the vaccine, and the safety of getting a vaccine.
The web tool includes:
  • The up-to-date status of the phased vaccination rollout. It shows which groups of people are being vaccinated now and which groups are next.
  • Detailed information about: the COVID-19 vaccines available, the safety of receiving the vaccine and what people need to know before, during and after a vaccine appointment.
  • An acknowledgement of past trauma for those who have experienced discrimination in medicine and vaccinations. This web tool is one effort in the City’s commitment to ensure equity, justice and transparency in distributing the vaccinations.
  • A form for community organizations and other groups to request a Minneapolis Health Department speaker to address common vaccine questions and concerns. The form is in four languages.
People should also check back for more web functions yet to be added, which could include a mapping tool to find vaccination locations and an interactive quiz to find out if they are eligible.
