    Land Acknowledgement: As we meet here today, we are reminded that Minneapolis is situated on the homelands of the Dakota people. An area that is steeped in rich Indigenous history, it is home to Indigenous people from more than 30 different nations. As a City, we have a responsibility to care for the land on which we live and work and all its natural surroundings. This stewardship is an integral part of our involvement in this commission, and we honor it as we begin our meeting. We now open this space to discuss ways in which we can support Indigenous people in our community.

    Announcements

    HOURCAR is launching an exciting new project which will provide shared EVs and EV charging infrastructure to residents of apartments and condominiums where none is currently available. The project - including the cost of construction and the cost of the vehicles - will be significantly underwritten by a partnership between HOURCAR and Xcel Energy with support from the US Department of Energy and is available at very low cost to participating site hosts. If you are a multifamily property owner, developer, or manager and have a site that meets our criteria or a city official looking to expand carsharing and electric vehicle options to your area we would love to talk to you!
