Minneapolis to Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with
Disabilities Act [image: ADA25thAnniversaryLogo]
To honor the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
Minneapolis is hosting a celebration on Thursday, July 23 from noon – 3pm
in the Minneapolis City Hall Rotunda.
The event will feature speakers, recognition, performers and interactive
programming accessible to all residents.
“The ADA covers daily life activities that many take for granted -- like
employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation,
communication, parks and recreation, health services, voting, and access to
public services,” said Amanda Tempel, Vice Chair of the Minneapolis
Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities.
Besides observing the milestone, Minneapolis and its partners are focusing
on improving engagement, participation and quality of service for people
with disabilities:
- The City of Minneapolis has started a thorough Americans with
Disabilities Act evaluation of its own programs and services to identify
possible barriers to residents.
- The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is reviewing recommendations
for its Americans with Disabilities Act evaluation process.
- Every bus in Metro Transit's fleet has a lift or ramp to accommodate
wheelchairs and other mobility devices; newer vehicles have low, flat
entrances that make boarding easier for everyone.
The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990 by
President George H.W. Bush. The act was the first comprehensive civil
rights law for people with disabilities. The ADA bans discrimination on the
basis of disability in the areas of employment, public accommodation,
public services, transportation and telecommunications.
*Nominate businesses that have provided outstanding service for the
disability community*
The Minneapolis Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities would like
nominations from people in the disability community for businesses that
have provided outstanding service for this community. Click here

Outstanding businesses will be chosen from the nominations, notified ahead
of time and recognized at the July 23 celebration.
*Send your essay by July 14 about how the Americans with Disabilities Act
has impacted your life*
The City of Minneapolis requests essays from people with disabilities that
explore the question: As a person with a disability, how has the Americans
with Disabilities Act impacted your life? (The Americans with Disabilities
Act prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in
employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications and
governmental activities.) Click here

Mayor Hodges and City Employees at Somali Independence Day Festival
The Somali Independence Day Festival was held on Saturday, June 13 along
Lake Street, between Blaisedell and Grand Avenues. The festival is the
largest gathering of the Somali Community in Minneapolis bringing together
over 6,000 community members throughout the day. The Neighborhood and
Community Relations (NCR) department, along with the City’s Community
Planning and Economic Development (CPED), Human Resources, Civil Rights and
Regulatory Services departments tabled together to share information about
key City services to the community.

renaming and restructuring the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee and 26
members to The Minneapolis Advisory Committee on Aging with 17 members. The
renaming and restructuring reflects the current needs, issues and
opportunities of the aging population in Minneapolis and statewide based on
census data and national and local research and studies. The members of
the newly restructured committee will provide the oversight, monitoring and
evaluation, with the assistance from the NCR department and other
stakeholders, of the Minneapolis for a Lifetime Strategy

[image: CivilRightsMeetswithHmongeldersandLeaders]*Hmong elders and leaders
meet with the Civil Rights department:*
As an outcome of targeted outreach from the NCR department and the city’s
Election’s department, elders and leaders of the Hmong Community met with
the Civil Rights department to establish a working relationship in
providing information and access to filing discriminatory complaint. The
Hmong community also wanted to determine ways that they can work together
to have information available in the community to file complaints at Hmong
American Mutual Assistance Association, and to ensure better access to the
department. This is a great example of the ways the NCR department works
to build trust within Minneapolis communities.
*Financial Management Learning Lab*
On June 30, approximately 20 people – mostly neighborhood board treasurers
and staffers – attended NCR’s final spring learning lab. Stephanie Jacobs
of the Nonprofits Assistance Fund, CPA Mike Wilson, and the Finance
Department’s Bob Cooper presented the macro and the micro of financial
management. The lab involved case studies and answers to dozens of
questions from attendees. Plans are in the works to repeat this learning
lab soon.
Neighborhood Stories: Minneapolis neighborhood organizations continue their
focus on engaging residents and enhancing our quality of life[image:

Assoication
Through the Community Participation Program, Minneapolis neighborhood
organizations reach out to residents and other stakeholders to identify and
act on neighborhood priorities, influence City decisions and increase
involvement. Some of this work - such as creating guidelines for housing
loan programs or reviewing commercial development proposals – can be quite
detailed, meeting-intensive and time-consuming, but committed volunteers
want to ensure the community has an active voice in shaping the
neighborhood’s built environment.
Another aspect of neighborhood organizations’ work involves creating venues
where people can come together, learn from each other, and celebrate their
neighborhoods and the city. Many events have minimal costs and can be
funded largely through the Community Participation Program or donations
from area businesses. Other events serve as fundraisers for the
neighborhood organizations and for projects ineligible for City funds. A
small sampling of neighborhood events includes:
- *No Pie Charts! Only Pies! Meeting and pie potluck* – The Longfellow
Community Council makes sure that their annual meeting is anything but
boring.
- *Hotdish Revolution *– Sponsored by the Holland Neighborhood
Improvement Association, this community-wide potluck and friendly
competition brings people together around a common interest – food!
- *Tour de Camden *– This family-friendly associated Aquatennial event
sponsored by the Shingle Creek Neighborhood Association takes bicyclists
though the Camden community and treats riders to educational pit stops.
- *Cinema & Civics *– The Stevens Square Community Organization engages
attendees and with speakers, followed by music and a movie.
- Whittier Alliance’s* May Day Soiree *offers a touch of elegance while
helping raise funds for neighborhood sponsored efforts.
- The *Como Cookout* is hosted by the Southeast Como Improvement
Association welcomes students back to neighborhood each fall with a
barbeque and resource fair.
- Co-sponsored by the Nokomis East Neighborhood Association and the
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, the *Minneapolis Monarch Festival
*provides hands-on learning and highlights the Minnesota - Mexico
connection that the Monarch butterfly creates along its migration path.
- *Wedge Weekend*, sponsored by the Lowry Hill East Neighborhood
Association offers garage sales, an ice cream social and more.
- Kingfield Neighborhood Association’s *Porch Fest *promotes
neighborhood artists and provides an evening for strolling the block and
listening to music performed from front porches.
- The *Southwest Wine Tasting *fundraiser brings together area business
and residents to benefit Uptown area neighborhoods.
In addition to those with snappy titles, there are dozens of neighborhood
organization-sponsored garage sales, ice cream socials, and gatherings all
designed to bring residents together. The events display the creativity and
character of the neighborhood, and help us remember why we appreciate our
neighbors, our neighborhoods, and our city.
Minneapolis Neighborhoods elect three new representatives to the
Neighborhood and Community Engagement Commission
On Thursday, June 18th three new commission members were elected to serve
on the Neighborhood and Community Engagement Commission (NCEC).
Neighborhoods in district one, comprised of Northside neighborhoods elected
David Boyd of the Lind-Bohanon Neighborhood Association, district five
neighborhoods of the western downtown neighborhoods elected Nicholas
Cichowicz of the Bryn – Mawr Neighborhood Association and the Downtown
Minneapolis Neighborhood Association and district seven, comprised of the
central southern neighborhoods elected Antoine Martinneau of the Central
Area Neighborhood Development Organization. There was no candidate for
NCEC district 3.
Four additional NCEC members will be appointed to serve on the commission
through the City’s appointment process. The City Council will make their
final vote at the Friday, July 10th full City Council Meeting. Learn more

First phase residents: sign up for organics recycling by July 10 to get

Minneapolis Solid Waste and Recycling customers who live in the first-phase
rollout areas

can still sign up by July 10 to get green carts during the August rollout.
(For future deliveries, people can sign up any time.)
Why should you participate in the program? Here are five good reasons:
1. *You’ll reduce waste.* More than a third of our trash is organic
material that can be composted. Most families can divert up to 10 pounds of
materials to organics recycling each week.
2. *You’ll help create more compost.* Things like meat, bones, dairy
products and compostable plastics can’t go in a backyard composting bin,
but they can be collected through organics recycling and turned into
compost.
3. *You can save money.* Once you start producing less trash, you may be
able to switch to a smaller garbage cart, which will cut $3 off your
monthly bill.
4. *You’ll be a part of the sustainability trend.* More than 29,500
households have already signed up to participate.
5. *You can help improve soil quality.* Using compost returns nutrients
to the soil, reduces erosion, and reduces the needs for watering and for
chemical fertilizers.

*July 2015*
Minneapolis to Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with
Disabilities Act [image: ADA25thAnniversaryLogo]
To honor the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
Minneapolis is hosting a celebration on Thursday, July 23 from noon – 3pm
in the Minneapolis City Hall Rotunda.
The event will feature speakers, recognition, performers and interactive
programming accessible to all residents.
“The ADA covers daily life activities that many take for granted -- like
employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation,
communication, parks and recreation, health services, voting, and access to
public services,” said Amanda Tempel, Vice Chair of the Minneapolis
Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities.
Besides observing the milestone, Minneapolis and its partners are focusing
on improving engagement, participation and quality of service for people
with disabilities:
- The City of Minneapolis has started a thorough Americans with
Disabilities Act evaluation of its own programs and services to identify
possible barriers to residents.
- The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is reviewing recommendations
for its Americans with Disabilities Act evaluation process.
- Every bus in Metro Transit's fleet has a lift or ramp to accommodate
wheelchairs and other mobility devices; newer vehicles have low, flat
entrances that make boarding easier for everyone.
The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990 by
President George H.W. Bush. The act was the first comprehensive civil
rights law for people with disabilities. The ADA bans discrimination on the
basis of disability in the areas of employment, public accommodation,
public services, transportation and telecommunications.
*Nominate businesses that have provided outstanding service for the
disability community*
The Minneapolis Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities would like
nominations from people in the disability community for businesses that
have provided outstanding service for this community. Click here

for criteria and instructions. Emailed or mailed nominations must be
received by July 14.
Outstanding businesses will be chosen from the nominations, notified ahead
of time and recognized at the July 23 celebration.
*Send your essay by July 14 about how the Americans with Disabilities Act
has impacted your life*
The City of Minneapolis requests essays from people with disabilities that
explore the question: As a person with a disability, how has the Americans
with Disabilities Act impacted your life? (The Americans with Disabilities
Act prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in
employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications and
governmental activities.) Click here

Mayor Hodges and City Employees at Somali Independence Day Festival
The Somali Independence Day Festival was held on Saturday, June 13 along
Lake Street, between Blaisedell and Grand Avenues. The festival is the
largest gathering of the Somali Community in Minneapolis bringing together
over 6,000 community members throughout the day. The Neighborhood and
Community Relations (NCR) department, along with the City’s Community
Planning and Economic Development (CPED), Human Resources, Civil Rights and
Regulatory Services departments tabled together to share information about
key City services to the community.
*City’s Senior Advisory Committee gets a refreshed name and structure:*

renaming and restructuring the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee and 26
members to The Minneapolis Advisory Committee on Aging with 17 members. The
renaming and restructuring reflects the current needs, issues and
opportunities of the aging population in Minneapolis and statewide based on
census data and national and local research and studies. The members of
the newly restructured committee will provide the oversight, monitoring and
evaluation, with the assistance from the NCR department and other
stakeholders, of the Minneapolis for a Lifetime Strategy

meet with the Civil Rights department:*
As an outcome of targeted outreach from the NCR department and the city’s
Election’s department, elders and leaders of the Hmong Community met with
the Civil Rights department to establish a working relationship in
providing information and access to filing discriminatory complaint. The
Hmong community also wanted to determine ways that they can work together
to have information available in the community to file complaints at Hmong
American Mutual Assistance Association, and to ensure better access to the
department. This is a great example of the ways the NCR department works
to build trust within Minneapolis communities.
*Financial Management Learning Lab*
On June 30, approximately 20 people – mostly neighborhood board treasurers
and staffers – attended NCR’s final spring learning lab. Stephanie Jacobs
of the Nonprofits Assistance Fund, CPA Mike Wilson, and the Finance
Department’s Bob Cooper presented the macro and the micro of financial
management. The lab involved case studies and answers to dozens of
questions from attendees. Plans are in the works to repeat this learning
lab soon.
Neighborhood Stories: Minneapolis neighborhood organizations continue their
focus on engaging residents and enhancing our quality of life[image:

Assoication
Through the Community Participation Program, Minneapolis neighborhood
organizations reach out to residents and other stakeholders to identify and
act on neighborhood priorities, influence City decisions and increase
involvement. Some of this work - such as creating guidelines for housing
loan programs or reviewing commercial development proposals – can be quite
detailed, meeting-intensive and time-consuming, but committed volunteers
want to ensure the community has an active voice in shaping the
neighborhood’s built environment.
Another aspect of neighborhood organizations’ work involves creating venues
where people can come together, learn from each other, and celebrate their
neighborhoods and the city. Many events have minimal costs and can be
funded largely through the Community Participation Program or donations
from area businesses. Other events serve as fundraisers for the
neighborhood organizations and for projects ineligible for City funds. A
small sampling of neighborhood events includes:
- *No Pie Charts! Only Pies! Meeting and pie potluck* – The Longfellow
Community Council makes sure that their annual meeting is anything but
boring.
- *Hotdish Revolution *– Sponsored by the Holland Neighborhood
Improvement Association, this community-wide potluck and friendly
competition brings people together around a common interest – food!
- *Tour de Camden *– This family-friendly associated Aquatennial event
sponsored by the Shingle Creek Neighborhood Association takes bicyclists
though the Camden community and treats riders to educational pit stops.
- *Cinema & Civics *– The Stevens Square Community Organization engages
attendees and with speakers, followed by music and a movie.
- Whittier Alliance’s* May Day Soiree *offers a touch of elegance while
helping raise funds for neighborhood sponsored efforts.
- The *Como Cookout* is hosted by the Southeast Como Improvement
Association welcomes students back to neighborhood each fall with a
barbeque and resource fair.
- Co-sponsored by the Nokomis East Neighborhood Association and the
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, the *Minneapolis Monarch Festival
*provides hands-on learning and highlights the Minnesota - Mexico
connection that the Monarch butterfly creates along its migration path.
- *Wedge Weekend*, sponsored by the Lowry Hill East Neighborhood
Association offers garage sales, an ice cream social and more.
- Kingfield Neighborhood Association’s *Porch Fest *promotes
neighborhood artists and provides an evening for strolling the block and
listening to music performed from front porches.
- The *Southwest Wine Tasting *fundraiser brings together area business
and residents to benefit Uptown area neighborhoods.
In addition to those with snappy titles, there are dozens of neighborhood
organization-sponsored garage sales, ice cream socials, and gatherings all
designed to bring residents together. The events display the creativity and
character of the neighborhood, and help us remember why we appreciate our
neighbors, our neighborhoods, and our city.
Minneapolis Neighborhoods elect three new representatives to the
Neighborhood and Community Engagement Commission
On Thursday, June 18th three new commission members were elected to serve
on the Neighborhood and Community Engagement Commission (NCEC).
Neighborhoods in district one, comprised of Northside neighborhoods elected
David Boyd of the Lind-Bohanon Neighborhood Association, district five
neighborhoods of the western downtown neighborhoods elected Nicholas
Cichowicz of the Bryn – Mawr Neighborhood Association and the Downtown
Minneapolis Neighborhood Association and district seven, comprised of the
central southern neighborhoods elected Antoine Martinneau of the Central
Area Neighborhood Development Organization. There was no candidate for
NCEC district 3.
Four additional NCEC members will be appointed to serve on the commission
through the City’s appointment process. The City Council will make their
final vote at the Friday, July 10th full City Council Meeting. Learn more

First phase residents: sign up for organics recycling by July 10 to get

Minneapolis Solid Waste and Recycling customers who live in the first-phase
rollout areas

can still sign up by July 10 to get green carts during the August rollout.
(For future deliveries, people can sign up any time.)
Why should you participate in the program? Here are five good reasons:
1. *You’ll reduce waste.* More than a third of our trash is organic
material that can be composted. Most families can divert up to 10 pounds of
materials to organics recycling each week.
2. *You’ll help create more compost.* Things like meat, bones, dairy
products and compostable plastics can’t go in a backyard composting bin,
but they can be collected through organics recycling and turned into
compost.
3. *You can save money.* Once you start producing less trash, you may be
able to switch to a smaller garbage cart, which will cut $3 off your
monthly bill.
4. *You’ll be a part of the sustainability trend.* More than 29,500
households have already signed up to participate.
5. *You can help improve soil quality.* Using compost returns nutrients
to the soil, reduces erosion, and reduces the needs for watering and for
chemical fertilizers.

How did your neighborhood look decades ago? Find out with online historical
aerial photos
Minneapolis has changed a lot since the 1930s, and now you can see those
changes for yourself.
As part of a collaborative effort with the City of Minneapolis and the
Minnesota Historical Society, the University of Minnesota Libraries has
digitized more than 4,500 historical aerial photos of Minneapolis. All of
the large-scale, detailed aerial photos, dating back to 1938, are free and
available to the public at www.lib.umn.edu/apps/mhapo/index.html#mpls
