Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey vetoes City Council's encampment staff directions

The mayor asked the council to resubmit its request with different wording

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday vetoed a pair of directives seeking a review of city practices on the closure of homeless encampments over their wording. The measures were passed last week by City Council.

The first, proposed by Council Member Aisha Chughtai, directed the Regulatory Services department to tally the costs and health and safety impacts of removing encampments.

The second, by Council Member Jason Chavez, directed the Office of Performance and Innovation and the Race, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Department to analyze the city's camp closure strategies - particularly the role of law enforcement - and come up with recommendations for minimizing police involvement among other best practices.
