Mayor, Council, City Attorney, Independent Budget Analyst, City Clerk Comment:
CC-1: Councilmember von Wilpert addressed the tragic and politically motivated attack that occurred over the weekend. She mentioned Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed and another lawmaker, Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife are recovering from multiple gunshot wounds in the hospital. Councilmember von Wilpert noted luckily the suspect, who had a list of over 40 elected officials to target, was apprehended.
She stated it's very scary to think that just because we want to be involved in public office, we are subjecting ourselves to danger. Councilmember von Wilpert emphasized the need to end violence and uphold peaceful democratic values.

Council President LaCava adjourned the meeting at 9:34 p.m.
