The board agreed to receive and file the draft work plan and signaled preference that the position coordinate with existing city departments rather than duplicate existing finance work.

Vice President Cree Stinson described the hiring process: the first round of interviews and questionnaires for candidates had concluded, and a second round of interviews was being scheduled for two finalists. Stinson said she volunteered to sit on the second interview panel for continuity and said she expects the board will find \"a really good fit.\" \"This is looking really good for us,\" Stinson said, and she added that the new staffer should have access to professional development resources similar to other city employees.

The mayor cautioned that some items proposed for the work plan might duplicate material already produced by the finance department, such as mapping dollar flows, debt and levy reporting, and budget projections. The mayor suggested that, where reports exist, the new staffer should use or coordinate with department-produced materials rather than repeat the work. \"It's not that it shouldn't be presented here, it certainly can be but that work is already done by the finance department and the concern is that we would just be having duplicative work,\" the mayor said.

Several commissioners said the new staffer could coordinate with finance and other departments to receive tailored, digestible briefings for the board rather than the full, detailed reports the finance department already prepares. Commissioners said that approach would speed distribution of information to board members and make meetings more efficient.

The clerk confirmed the board would \"receive and file\" the draft work plan; the transcript does not record a formal roll call vote on that action. Board members emphasized that the final work plan should clarify professional development expectations for the position, articulate coordination with intergovernmental relations and finance, and prioritize preparing BET-specific, abridged versions of finance reports.

There was no formal adoption of a hiring decision recorded in the transcript; the board discussed the job duties, interview schedule, and a plan to return with a more formal proposal to approve once candidates and job details are finalized.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 26, 2025 Board of Estimate and Taxation","oneSentenceSummary","Members discussed a proposed full-time staff position for the Board of Estimate and Taxation, reviewed the job analysis questionnaire (JAQ) duties, reported interview progress, and agreed to receive and file a draft work plan while asking staff to coordinate with finance.","taxTitle","Minneapolis City, Hennepin County, Minnesota","taxId",3498,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6082205,"Board of Estimate and Taxation approves charter resolution to add seventh member and rename body",292,234000,526000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2939076-e998df8b28d900b2924681d585acef24&start=234&end=526","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2939076-e998df8b28d900b2924681d585acef24/thumbnail_234000.jpg","/articles/6082205/Minneapolis-City/Hennepin-County/Minnesota/Board-of-Estimate-and-Taxation-approves-charter-resolution-to-add-seventh-member-and-rename-body","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082205-0cea7f99d68058536d3c92e997d5037d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168668&Signature=jCnUEoTJv5lyNwQuqSEna4tLjooNEWanBAcrqH9bdvRVZKLRHqQ0bpyR7rv5Tdl5CajX~Fm4DBX5BV29mKlVCi7DJp2EHjjkCCzTwNTvNgP~dJk12EIinEVdnocsukgtV7MHGYrmtMSf1ijfbeeV1JajbiDDFave3G27i1yu1A2aeLNXAbw9qWvBWT9cNswuMXDH79uNmNE~SksUUfBZ3ZOSiKlpftoOS1pe8~P-n54MJi61BNy20lrvjnRNAihZVF1j-63ggwqfjeLgpISvJFUxWchoJj-1RVQjvhY8LdjdZeD08UDOMZxpEDRFZFYbOPXfm4VNJ1JFUeF5kFGz8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Minneapolis Board of Estimate and Taxation voted to adopt a proposed charter resolution asking the City Council to pursue a charter amendment that would add a seventh member to the board, make that seat an additional elected public member, and change the board's name to better reflect its current duties.

President Steve Brandt, president of the Board of Estimate and Taxation, said the amendment is \"essentially threefold\" and explained the measure is intended to give the board a tie-breaking number of members and to make the additional member an elected position alongside the two existing elected members. \"The purpose of the amendment is essentially threefold,\" Brandt said, summarizing the proposal.

Commissioner Priest Benson said she supported adding another member to provide \"fair and equitable representation\" and described independent oversight and decision-making as increasingly important. \"I speak in support, especially to adding another member,\" she said.

The board moved the resolution and the clerk called a roll. The transcript records the roll call with the following votes: Commissioner Frey: Aye; Commissioner Abeni: absent; Commissioner Payne: Aye; Commissioner Chugtai: Aye; Vice President Cree Stinson: Aye; President Steve Brandt: Aye. The clerk recorded \"There are 5 ayes.\" The board did not record a named mover or seconder for the resolution in the transcript beyond a general \"So moved\" and \"Second.\" The action was adopted and the board president noted he would sign the paperwork after the meeting.

The resolution follows an earlier attempt last May in which the Charter Commission declined to endorse the changes. Brandt said the alternative route is for the City Council to ask the Charter Commission to reconsider the amendment or to place the board's original proposal on a ballot if the Charter Commission again declines to assent. The transcript records the board adopting the motion to send the proposed charter resolution forward for consideration by the City Council and the Charter Commission.
