BEFORE WE BEGIN THE MEETING, I WANT TO OFFER A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO THE [0:30] MEMBERS, PUBLIC, AND STAFF THESE MEETINGS ARE BROADCAST LIVE TO ENABLE GREATER PUBLIC [0:36] PARTICIPATION. THESE BROADCASTS INCLUDE REAL TIME CAPTIONING AS A FURTHER METHOD TO INCREASE THE [0:41] ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR PROCEEDINGS TO THE COMMUNITY. THEREFORE ALL SPEAK NEEDERS TO BE MINDFUL OF [0:48] THE RATE OF OUR SPEECH IS OUR CAPTIONERS CAN FULLY CAPTURE AND TRANSCRIBE ALL COMMENTS FOR THE [0:53] BROADCAST. WE ASK ALL SPEAKERS TO MODERATE THE SPEED AND CLARITY OF THEIR COMMENTS. AT THIS TIME, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO [1:00] CALL THE ROLL TO INT VERIFY THE PRESENCE OF A [1:06] QUORUM. >> PAYNE. >> PRESENT. >> WONSLEY. >> PRESENT. [1:12] >> RAINVILLE IS ABSENT. VIE TALL. >> PRESENT. >> ELLISON. [1:18] >> HERE. >> OSMAN. >> HERE. >> CASHMAN. >> PRESENT. >> JENKINS IS ABSENT. >> CHUGHTAI. [1:23] >> PRESENT. >> KOSKI. >> PRESENT. [1:29] >> PALMISANO. >> PRESENT. >> RAINVILLE. >> PRESENT. [1:34] >> VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY IS ABSENT. CHAIR CHAVEZ. >> PRESENT. [1:39] >> 11 MEMBERS PRESENT. >> WE HAVE A QUORUM. THANK YOU. [1:44] BEFORE WE BEGIN THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE'LL TAKE UP THE CONSENT AGENDA. THE FIRST ITEM [1:50] WE HAVE IS SETTING A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR OUR NEXT MEETING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS REGARDING THE CITY SEPARATION [1:56] ORDINANCE AND CITY EMPLOYEE AUTHORITY AND IMMIGRATION MATTERS. THIS PERIOD WILL BE ON [2:02] AUGUST 5th AT 1:30 THE SECOND ITEM IS A PASSAGE OF A RESOLUTION CALLING ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ON THE [2:08] CAMPAIGN OF MASS DEPORTATIONS AND FAMILY SEPARATIONS. I'LL [2:20] MAKE THE FIRST COMMENTS. I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT ITEM NUMBER [2:26] THREE. EXCITED TO BRING FORWARD THE RESOLUTION CALLING ON THE [2:31] TRUMP CAMPAIGN TO END ITS CAMPAIGN OF MASS DEPORTATIONS AND FAMILY SEPARATIONS WITH [2:36] COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY AND OSMAN. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE IMMIGRANT DEFENSE NETWORK [2:43] WHICH ESTABLISHED THIS YEAR AND IN ALLIANCE OF OVER 90 IMMIGRANT OF LEGAL FAITH AND COMMUNITY [2:49] ORGANIZATIONS DEDICATED TO PROTECTING AND ADVANCING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE [2:54] STATE OF MINNESOTA. WE SNOW T KNOW THE SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL WILL BE BRINGING FORWARD [3:02] SIMILAR RESOLUTIONS AND ENCOURAGE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES ACROSS THE STATES AND COUNTRY TO DO THE SAME. ONE THING I WANT [3:08] TO MENTION, AS WE MOVE FORWARD THIS RESOLUTION, IS THAT THERE ARE MANY FAMILIES IN THIS CITY [3:13] AND IN THIS STATE AND IN THIS COUNTRY THAT ARE AFRAID TO GO TO SCHOOL. I MENTIONED THIS [3:18] YESTERDAY AT AN EVENT I WAS AT. MANY OF IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE [3:25] FEARFUL TO GETTING THEIR EDUCATION BECAUSE THE FEAR THAT I.C.E. MIGHT BE -- AND THE [3:30] COMMUNITY -- OR FEAR THEIR PARENTS MIGHT BE TAKEN AWAY WHILE THEY'RE AT SCHOOL. AS WE THINK ABOUT THE WAYS THAT WE [3:37] NEED TO IMPROVE OR UNJUST IMMIGRATION SYSTEM, IT'S IMPORTANT TO CENTER THE KIDS AND [3:42] THE STUDENTS AND THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING IMPACTED FROM THESE INHUMANE ACTIONS FROM [3:48] THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR [3:55] AUTHORS OF THE RESOLUTION HAD A TIME TO SPEAK, IF THEY WOULD WANT. FIRST PERSON ON QUEUE IS [4:01] COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> OH. THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE FIRST ITEM OF THE PUBLIC [4:06] COMMENT. BUT FEEL FREE TO CONTINUE ON WITH COAUTHORS. >> PERFECT. THANK YOU. IF [4:15] NOBODY ELSE IS ON CUE. >> VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU. I'LL KEEP THE REMARKS BRIEF. UMM, I WANT TO [4:21] SAY I HAVE REALLY APPRECIATED ALL OF THE MINNEAPOLIS [4:27] RESIDENTS, UMM, IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BEGAN. [4:33] REACHING TO THE COUNCIL OFFICES AND PUSHING THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS TO DO BETTER BY THE [4:38] IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. YOUR VOICE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THIS MOMENT. UMM, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, [4:45] STATE GOVERNMENT, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU THAT YOU WANT GOVERNMENT TO STEP UP TO PROTECT OUR IMMIGRANT [4:50] COMMUNITY MEMBERS. STRONGER SEPARATION ORDINANCE, UMM, E EFFORTS TO MAKE PATHWAY [4:56] TO CITIZENSHIP BETTER, STANDING UP AGAINST XENOPHOBIA AND ISLAM PHOBIA. YOU HAVE A VOICE AND [5:03] ROLE IN NEIGHBORS IN DOING THAT AND SHARING THAT IN YOUR [5:08] NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, BLOCK PARTIES, APARTMENT BUILDINGS. WORDS AND ACTIONS, THEY CARRY WEIGHT IN THIS MOMENT. IT IS A [5:15] RATHER SCARY TIME IN OUR COUNTRY, BUT AS A CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, I SEE THE WAYS IN WHICH EVERYONE IS TRYING TO FIND [5:21] WAYS TO LEAN IN AND BECOME MORE RESILIENT. AND MY HEART JUST GOES OUT TO OUR IMMIGRANT [5:26] COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO EVERY SINGLE DAY ARE JUST FIGHTING TO [5:32] THRIVE IN OUR CITY. TO SURVIVE IN OUR CITY. OFTENTIMES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PUSHED TO BE INVISIBLE. AND I WANT TO SAY [5:39] YOU ARE NOT INVISIBLE. YOU ABSOLUTELY MATTER. AND WE, AS A CITY COUNCIL AND A LOCAL [5:45] GOVERNMENT, WE'LL PUSH ALONGSIDE YOU TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT CITY -- THE CITY OF [5:51] MINNEAPOLIS STAYS TO ITS VALUES OF BEING A WELCOMING CITY. AND THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO ADD. [6:00] [APPLAUSE] OK >> OKAY. NEXT UP COUNCILMEMBER [6:05] WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. I WANTED TO SPEAK TO ITEM NUMBER 2, WHICH IS THE IMMIGRATION [6:12] ENFORCEMENT PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, WHICH TODAY WILL BE VOTING ON SETTING THAT FOR [6:18] AUGUST 5th, 2025. FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO COME AND SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS, THEIR [6:24] FEELINGS REGARDING THE CITY'S CURRENT SEPARATION ORDINANCE. AND, ALSO ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC [6:29] TO WATCH THE PRESENTATION THAT WE RECEIVE FROM CITY STAFF, SPECIFICALLY MINNEAPOLIS POLICE. [6:37] REGARDING HOW THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR SEPARATION ORDINANCE. UMM, AND I KNOW MUCH OF THE FEEDBACK THAT [6:44] WE RECEIVED FROM THAT PRESENTATION AND COUPLING THAT WITH THE HORRIBLE EVENTS THAT [6:50] TRANSPIRED ON EAST LAKE STREET ON JUNE 3rd WHERE WE NOW KNOW THE OWNERS OF THE VERY BUSINESS [6:56] THAT WAS TARGETED WERE UNDER I.C.E., UMM, CUSTODY AND [7:02] DETENTION. AND WE WERE TOLD MANY TIMES I.C.E. WAS NOT PRESENT. I.C.E. WAS NOT INVOLVED. SO THAT HAS PUT IN TO [7:10] QUESTION HOW WE ARE TRULY ENFORCING AND STANDING BEHIND OUR SEPARATION ORDINANCE. AND I [7:16] KNOW RESIDENTS WANT TO SHARE THOUGHTS AROUND THAT. AND AS COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY HIGHLIGHTED, WAYS IN WHICH WE [7:22] CAN STRENGTHEN OUR CURRENT SEPARATION ORDINANCE SO THE EVENTS THAT UNFOLDED ON JUNE 3rd NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. [7:28] AND E ARE NOT BEING COMPLICIT IN THE SEPARATION OF OUR IMMIGRANT FAMILIES. AND COMPLICIT WITH [7:33] THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. [ APPLAUSE ] THAT IS TARGETING OUR IMMIGRANT [7:39] COMMUNITIES. SO I ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO TURN OUT AUGUST 5-th. THAT WOULD BE AN [7:44] OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND TO ALLOW THIS BODY TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WE'RE PURSUING LEGISLATIVE [7:51] STEPS TO, AGAIN, HOPEFULLY RECTIFY THOSE HARMFUL ACTIONS [7:56] THAT TOOK PLACE. SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. SEEING NO ONE [8:02] ELSE ON QUEUE, I'LL MOVE APPROVAL TO SET THE PUBLIC HEARING PERIOD FOR AUGUST 5th, [8:08] AND MOVE APPROVAL OF THE IMMIGRANT FAMILIES RESOLUTION. AND IF THE CLERK CAN PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THAT. [8:14] >> COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE. WONSLEY. >> AYE. [8:19] >> RAINVILLE. >> AYE. >> VETAW. >> AYE. >> ELLISON. >> AYE. >> OSMAN. [8:25] >> AYE. >> CASHMAN. >> AYE. >> JENKINS. >> AYE >> CHUGHTAI. >> AYE. [8:30] >> KOSKI. >> AYE. >> PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> PAYNE. >> AYE. [8:35] >> VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> CHAIR CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> 13 AYES . NO NAYS. [8:43] >> THANK YOU. THAT MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES. [8:49] AH, NOW WE'LL TAKE UP THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. THIS ITEM IS AN ORDINANCE RELATED TO THE POLICE CONDUCT OVERSIGHT. [9:02] BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, I WANT TO WELCOME UP MICHELLE PHILIPS AND KRISTIN [9:08] ANDERSON TO SPEAK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE CHANGES IN THE ORDINANCE. WELCOME. [9:13] >> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR CHAVEZ, VICE CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THE [9:19] CITY COUNCIL. THE ORDINANCE CHANGES BEING ADDRESSED TODAY ARE TO TITLE IX, CHAPTER 172 OF [9:25] THE MINNEAPOLIS CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATED TO THE FIRE AND POLICE PROTECTION, POLICE CONDUCT OVERSIGHT. THE CHANGES [9:33] TO THE ORDINANCE YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU ARE THE FIRST STEP IN ADDRESSING SOME OF THE UNCLEAR [9:40] LANGUAGE. THE CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE, 1 172.20D, THE [9:47] AUTHORS AND STAFF INCLUDED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE TRACKING AND PRODUCTION OF DATA, AS THAT RESPONSIBILITY DOES NOT [9:54] SOLELY LIE WITHIN THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT. AND SECTION [10:00] 172.30C DATA SHARING, THIS SECTION WAS EDITED AS TO ENSURE ALL CCPO MEMBERS, AND MEMBERS OF [10:07] THE PUBLIC, HAD ACCESS TO STATISTICAL DATA TO INFORM THEIR [10:12] WORK. CONSENT DECREE REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL DATA REPORTING. [10:17] THIS PROVISION WILL ALIGN, AS WELL AS THE POLICY AND RESEARCH UNIT OF OPCR THAT SUPPORTS THE [10:25] CCPO AS OUTLINED IN PARAGRAPH 339 OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. [10:31] IN SECTION 172.40, REVIEW PANEL, CLARIFICATION FOR THE [10:36] MAKEUP OF THE REVIEW PANELS WAS ADDED TO ENSURE TH THAT AT LEAST ONE SEATED CCPO MEMBER IS [10:42] ON EACH REVIEW PANEL. IT MUST ALSO BE NOTED THE REVIEW PANELISTS VOLUNTEER A LOT OF [10:49] TIME, ENERGY, AND EFFORT IN REVEALING CASE FILES AND INFORMATION TO PREPARE FOR THE [10:56] PANELS. THEREFORE, WE CLARIFIED THAT PANELISTS WOULD BE PAID $50 [11:02] PER CASE PER REVIEW PANEL SESSION. OPPOSED TO MULTIPLE CASES IN ONE SESSION. SECTION [11:13] 172.60, CCPO ADDS FIVE PANELISTS WHO WILL SERVE AS TEMPORARY CCPO [11:20] MEMBERS, SHOULD A VACANT SEAT ARISE ON THE COMMISSION. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX TO ALLOW FOR [11:27] THE CCPO REVI RECRUITMENT TO RUN THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE [11:32] COURSE AND A ACTUALLY PERMANENT CCPO MEMBER WILL BE SEATED. THE [11:38] FIVE PANELISTS WILL BE RECRUITED FOR THE PURPOSES OF ENSURING THAT WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS [11:44] TO HAVE PANEL REVIEWS REGULARLY TO ENSURE THERE IS NOT A BACKLOG [11:50] AT THE FEET OF THE PANEL. THIS PROVISION WILL STAY IN EFFECT WHEN THE PRIOR TEMPORARY [11:55] AMENDMENT THAT ADDED THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSIONERS CENSUS AT THE END OF THE YEAR. [12:01] ADDITIONALLY, THIS SECTION CLARIFIES THE REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBERS TO ADHERE TO APPLICABLE [12:09] POLICIES, TRAINING, ATTENDANCE, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND PROVIDE [12:14] FOR A FORFEITURE SECTION OUTLINING A CCPO MEMBER NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY REFERENCED [12:21] POLICIES AND/OR PROCEDURES OR REQUIREMENTS OF THE BODY WILL HAVE THEN FORFEITED THEIR SEAT. [12:27] IT IS MADE CLEAR THAT THE CCPO MEMBERS MAY REQUEST STATISTICAL [12:32] DATA AND MOM MAZED CASE [12:37] SUMMARIES. WITHIN THE LEGAL PARAMETERS IS OUTLINED BY THE [12:43] CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. LASTLY, IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE THERE IS [12:48] ADDITIONAL -- AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE CITY, [12:55] SECTION 172.20 AUDITS WITH ADDED TO THE CHAPTER. THIS SECTION [13:01] OUTLINES THAT THE CITY AUDITOR HAS THE INDEPENDENT AUTHORITY, AS SET FORTH IN THE CHARTER, TO [13:07] AUDIT POLICE SERVICES AND POLICE CONDUCT OVERSIGHT SYSTEMS, WHICH IS INCLUSIVE OF ITS OVERARCHING [13:14] AUTHORITY TO AUDIT ANY DEPARTMENT OR PROGRAM WITHIN THE CITY. I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS [13:22] EITHER BEFORE AND AFTER PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. I'LL FIRST PASS [13:28] IT TO COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. JUST FOR THE PUBLIC, JUST TO HAVE A [13:34] LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. I ORIGINALLY OPENED UP CCPO FOR [13:39] AMENDMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TERM. AND IT IT WAS FOLLOWING SOME STRENGTHENED LAW [13:45] AT THE STATE LEVEL. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE LEARNED AS WE STARTED THIS WORK, IS THAT THERE [13:52] ARE SOME BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTING THE STRONGER STATE LANGUAGE AT THE CITY LEVEL BECAUSE OF THE CHARTER. AND SO [13:57] THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT I'M GOING TO BE INTERESTED IN CONTINUING TO WORK ON, OBVIOUSLY, A CITY CHARTER [14:03] AMENDMENT IS A MUCH BIGGER LIFT THAN AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. SO WHILE WE HAVE THE BOOKS OPEN, WE WORKED WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL [14:10] STAFF. I MET WITH MY COMMISSIONER AT THE TIME, I MET WITH THE CHAIR OF CCPO. WE [14:17] HOSTED A COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSION TO TRY TO GATHERING FEEDBACK AROUND WHAT WAS WORKING AND WHAT WASN'T WORKING. AND [14:23] ONE OF THE BIGGEST AREAS THAT WE IDENTIFIED WAS JUST THE VOLUME [14:28] OF CASES THAT THE BODY NEEDS TO REVIEW. AND JUST THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THESE VOLUNTEERS HAVE [14:34] TO BE ABLE TO SIT IN FRONT OF THE REVIEW PANELS. AND SO AS WE THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN [14:39] STRENGTHEN THIS THROUGH CHARTER AMENDMENT, WE CAN STILL MAKE THE BODY BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN TERMS [14:45] OF AT LEAST ITS CAPACITY TO REVIEW THESE CASES. I WANT TO GROUND US IN SOME REAL TRUTH [14:52] THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE LIMITS TO WHAT A CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD CAN DO. THE AUTHORITY OF [14:59] DISCIPLINE IS VESTED IN THE CHIEF AND THE OVERSIGHT IS THE [15:05] MAYOR'S OVERSIGHT ALONE. CITY COUNCIL DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE THE TYPE OF [15:10] PERSONNEL DECISIONS AROUND DISCIPLINE AND WHETHER THE MATRIX IS ACCURATE AND WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE HOLDING PEOPLE TO THE DISCIPLINE MATRIX. THOSE [15:17] ARE THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE CAN DO BY ORDINANCE. AND I WANT TO REMIND OURSELVES THAT WE DO HAVE THE [15:24] AUTHORITY INSTITUTIONALLY TO HOLD OUR DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTABLE. THAT AUTHORITY SITS WITH THE CHIEF AND MAYOR. SO I'M HOPING [15:30] THESE AMENDMENTS HELP TO MAKE IT A MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT BODY FOR REVIEW, I WANT TO [15:37] GROUND US IN THE HARD CONSTRAINTS AROUND BOTH OUR CHARTER AND THE AUTHORITY THAT IS GOING TO BE LIMITED WITHIN [15:44] ORDINANCE. SO JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT BACKGROUND. >> THANK YOU. I'M TRYING TO SEE [15:50] IF ANYBODY ELSE IS ON QUEUE. OKAY. I DID WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE [15:56] WE'VE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE. DID I MISS ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. [16:04] COUNCILMEMBER JENKINS. I HAD -- SORRY. COUNCILMEMBER YES AND [16:11] THEN CHOWDHURY WERE REFLECTED. OKAY. GREAT. AWESOME. I WANT TO THE REMIND THE PUBLIC, AS COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY SAID, [16:17] THERE WOULD BE PUBLIC HEARING ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ON AUGUST 5th. THE RESOLUTION [16:22] DID PASS, IN CASE FOLKS MISSED IT. I WANT TO CLARIFY FOR THE [16:29] PUBLIC. NEXT UP, PROCEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU [16:37] HAVEN'T SIGNED UP, THE SIGN UP LIST IS UP THERE. I HAVE FOLKS [16:43] HERE. TWO MINUTES TO SPEAK. PLEASE ANNOUNCE YOUR NAME, IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK. I'LL [16:49] FIRST CALL UP HOWARD. [16:54] >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL CHAIR CHAVEZ, COUNCILMEMBERS. I KNEW WHEN MICHELLE PHILIPS WAS COMING [17:01] TO US, SHE'S WHAT MINNEAPOLIS NEEDED. BECAUSE SHE'S -- SHE KNOWS BALTIMORE, SHE KNOWS [17:08] OAKLAND. AND SHE KNOWS THE CIVIL RIGHTS RIGHT NOW -- I TOLD [17:13] OMAR, WE'RE IN AN EPISODE OF "STAR WARS" AND YOU'RE A YESJEDI. WE CAN'T LOOK TO [17:22] THE DOJ. WE NEED A ROBUST CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT. CASE IN POINT, I BROUGHT YOU ALLISON -- [17:30] JANET WILLIAMS. WE'RE STILL SEEKING JUSTICE FOR ALLISON. THAT'S ON FILE. JANET TOLD ME [17:40] THERE WAS AN 11-YEAR-OLD RUNNING AROUND LOOKING FOR NARCAN BECAUSE A 17-YEAR-OLD WAS OVERDOSING. THEY WENT TO AN MPD [17:47] OFFICER. THE OFFICER SAID "I'M NOT CALLING IT IN. YOU CENTER [17:53] HAVE TO CALL IT IN." THAT 17-YEAR-OLD WAS REVIVED. BUT THE OVERSIGHT NEEDS TO DO RETRAINING OF OUR FIRST [17:59] RESPONDERS. THOSE OFFICERS DID NOT HAVE NARCAN ON THEM. THE OFFICER REFUSED TO CALL IT [18:05] IN, THAT 17-YEAR-OLD COULD HAVE DIED THAT'S WHY WE NEED A ROBUST CIVIL RIGHTS, ROBUST OVERSIGHT. [18:13] SO PLEASE LOOK INTO THAT. I'VE ASKED O'HARA GOMEZ TO FIND OUT WHO THE OFFICER WAS WHO WOULD [18:20] NOT CALL IT IN. >> THANK YOU. NEXT UP WE HAVE [18:25] MICHELLE GROSS. WELCOME. [18:39] >> THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR CHAVEZ AND MEMBERS. MY NAME IS MICHELLE GROSS, [18:45] PRESIDENT OF COMMUNITY UNITED AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY AND [18:50] WARD 7 RESIDENT. I'M HERE SPECIFICALLY TO THE ORDINANCE PROPOSAL. AND, UMM, I'D LIKE TO [18:55] FIRST START WITH, UMM, 172.20, [19:00] UMM, D1, WHICH IS TECHNICAL-SOUNDING NAMES. BASICALLY, THE, UMM, THERE'S A [19:06] LIST OF DATA THAT MUST BE REVEALED BY THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT AND/OR POLICE DEPARTMENT. WHICH I THINK IS A [19:12] GOOD ADDITION. BUT I WOULD ADD SOMETHING ELSE TO THIS ORDINANCE. I WOULD ADD THAT IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION [19:18] THAT'S LISTED, I WOULD ADD THE NAMES OF THE SUBJECT OFFICERS, THEIR BADGE NUMBERS, AND THEN FOR ANY COMPLAINTS THAT ARE [19:25] SUSTAINED, DISCIPLINED, AND PASSED THE PERIOD, ACTUAL DISCIPLINED. THIS WOULD ENABLE THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW THE FULL DEPTH OF WHAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO [19:31] KNOW UNDER THE DATA PRACTICES ACT, FOR ANY COMPLAINT, AND PREVENT US FROM HAVING TO DO [19:38] REQUESTS TO GET THE INFORMATION. I'D ADD THAT. UNDER 172.30C2, [19:44] YOU'VE GOT IN HERE THAT THE RECORDS -- THAT PROVISION IS BEING REMOVED. THAT IS A REAL [19:50] PROBLEM. THE REASON IT'S A PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE, UMM, PANEL MEMBERS ONLY SIT ON A FEW PANELS [19:56] EACH. THEY DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION THEY NEED ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS IN ORDER TO ALLOW THEM TO SEE THE TRENDS THAT ARE [20:01] NEEDED TO WORK ON POLICY. SO I'D RECOMMEND REMOVING THAT STRIKE THROUGH ABOUT THE [20:09] ANONYMIZED RECORDS. THEY SHOULD GET THE RECORDS. ON THE, UMM, -- WHOOP. SORRY, GOT TO [20:15] KEEP UP WITH MY PAGES HERE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS ON 172.60. YOU'VE [20:22] GOT THAT, UMM, AGAIN, THEY HAVE TO -- THAT THE -- THAT THE DUTY IS TO ENGAGE IN RESEARCH AND STUDY AND PROVIDE POLICY [20:28] RECOMMENDATIONS. THAT'S A GREAT THING FOR THEM TO DO! THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF COMBINING THE [20:33] HEARING PANELS WITH THE, UMM, THE FORWARD-FACING COMMISSION MEMBERS. PUTTING THAT FUNCTION [20:38] ALL TOGETHER. BUT, AGAIN, CANNOT BE DONE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A WIDE BREADTH OF -- [20:44] MAY I FINISH A LITTLE BIT MORE. >> 10 SECONDS. >> TWO MORE LITTLE THINGS. >> YOU CAN E-MAIL IT. [20:51] >> 172.602C. THAT PANEL MEMBERS [20:56] ARE OR COMMISSION MEMBERS HAVE CERTIFICATION. THAT PRECLUDES. [21:04] [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] THAT MEANS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE CUSTOMERS OF THE BODY [21:09] CANNOT BE COMMISSIONERS ON THIS BODY. FINALLY, LAST THING, UMM, [21:15] UNDER 172.40, LETTER A. IT SAYS "EACH PANEL SHALL BE CONSISTENT OF FIVE PANELISTS AND LIST TWO [21:22] OFFICERS." WE SHOULD GET RID OF OFFICERS ON THE PANELS. A LOT OF OFFICERS ON THE PANELS -- [21:28] >> MICHELLE, MICHELLE, SUBMIT -- [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] [21:38] [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] WE APPRECIATE IT, MICHELLE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DAVE. [21:44] >> CHAIR CHAVEZ, I WAS GOING TO GO FOR A POINT OF ORDER ON THE TIME. BUT, MICHELLE, I'LL LOOK [21:49] FOR YOU AFTER THE MEETING. >> OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. >> WE APPRECIATE THOSE PUBLIC [21:56] COMMENTS BE SUBMITTED SO WE CAN READ THEM. HIE, DAVE. >> HI. >> MY NAME IS DAVE BIKKING, WARD [22:03] 8. I WAS A MEMBER OF THE CIVILIAN REVIEW AUTHORITY BACK A LONG TIME AGO WHEN IT EXISTED. [22:09] AND I'VE BEEN CLOSELY FOLLOWING CIVILIAN REVIEW SINCE THEN. WE [22:17] HAVE OPPOSED THE CREATION OF THE OPCR IN 2012 AND THE CCPO [22:25] ORDINANCE IN 2022. BOTH WERE DESIGNED TO FAIL, AND BOTH HAVE [22:31] FAILED BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. THEY DO NOT FUNCTION AS TRUE [22:37] CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT. THE CCPO, IN PARTICULAR, HAS BECOME [22:42] TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO SCRAP IT AND [22:50] START OVER WITH A MODEL THAT ACTUALLY SERVES THE COMMUNITY. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS MERELY [22:56] REARRANGE THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC. THE OPCR AND THE CCPO [23:03] ARE DOMINATED BY THE POLICE AND THE CITY STAFF. IN PARTICULAR, THE POLICE HAVE ONE UNDUE [23:10] INFLUENCE ON THE PANEL DECISIONS DUE TO THEIR AUTHORITY, EXPERIENCE, AND LONG HISTORY OF [23:17] JUSTIFYING AND EXCUSING POLICE MISCONDUCT AND POLICE CULTURE. [23:23] AT THE VERY LEAST, THE POLICE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE PANELS. [23:28] UMM, THE RESULT OF ALL THIS IS THERE'S BEEN REMARKABLY [23:34] DISCIPLINE FOR MISCONDUCT. WHAT LITTLE DISCIPLINE THAT HAS BEEN IMPOSED IS LARGELY AN EXPEDITED [23:42] CASES, IN WHICH THE OFFICER ADMITS TO THE MISCONDUCT, THUS [23:49] BYPASSING THE REVIEW PANEL PROCESS. OR IN CASES WHERE THE OFFICER HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF A [23:54] CRIME. CONSISTENT DISCIPLINE IS IMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR PUNISHMENT, BUT MORE SO -- [24:02] [ BEEP ] FOR ESTABLISHING A DETERRENT AND CHANGING CULTURE. THE CURRENT SYSTEM COMES NOWHERE CLOSE. AND [24:09] TWO MINUTES COMES NOWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT. >> THANKS, DAVE. IF YOU CAN [24:16] SUBMIT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. E-MAIL TO CITY COUNCIL, THAT'S HELPFUL. I'M GOING TO ASK FOLKS TO PLEASE STICK TO THE TWO [24:22] MINUTES. WHEN I GIVE SOMEONE EXTRA TIME, THAT MEANS I WANT TO BE FAIR AND I'M GOING TO GIVE SOMEBODY ELSE MORE TIME. I NEED [24:28] US TO STICK TO TWO MINUTES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT UP, WE HAVE KEITH. [24:44] >> THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. I'M SPEAKING AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN. I'VE SPOKEN BEFORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY [24:53] OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY. I HAVE A BIG TRUST ISSUE AND, OBVIOUSLY, I'M NOT ALONE IN [24:59] THAT. WE'VE SEEN OVER 30 YEARS OF HISTORY WITH COMMUNITY REVIEW [25:06] BOARDS, IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, FAILING FORWARD. AND WE -- I -- I CAN'T EVEN FATHOM A DEPARTMENT [25:14] THAT PROMOTES AN OFFICER WHO COULDN'T EVEN RESTRAIN HIMSELF [25:20] FOR 10 SECONDS WITHOUT SHOOTING SOMEBODY TO DEATH AS BEING THE HEAD OF THE USE OF FORCE. [25:28] TRAINING. SO ... YEAH. ACCOUNTABILITY -- ACCOUNTABILITY [25:33] AND EARNING THE TRUST OF THE PUBLIC? I DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING IN MY LIFETIME. AND [25:40] UNTIL THAT SORT OF BEHAVIOR IS CORRECTED, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING ANYWHERE. SO I GOT TO [25:46] SAY. AND I LOOK FOR JUSTICE FOR [25:52] AMIR LOCKE. >> SUBMIT YOUR NAME FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD. >> THAT'S OKAY. >> NEXT UP, WE HAVE CHRISTINA. [26:02] >> I THINK I SIGNED UP ON THE WRONG SHEET. WHEN IT'S TIME FOR DYKES AGAINST DEPORTATION, CALL [26:08] MY NAME AGAIN. [ LAUGHTER ] WHAT ISL I'LL SAY IS, THAT [26:14] PUBLIC HEARING IS NEXT CYCLE. >> NO TALKING ABOUT IT TODAY. >> THAT CAN BE CONFUSING ON THE PUBLIC AGENDA. SO TODAY WE [26:21] VOTED FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. THAT'S ON AUGUST 5-th. THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT! FOR THE [26:26] PUBLIC TO KNOW 1:30:00 P.M. ON AUGUST 5th IN THIS ROOM. THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT. AND, [26:32] CAROL, ARE YOU HERE FOR THE SAME THING? FOR AUGUST 5th OR [26:37] TODAY? >> HELLO. CAN YOU HEAR ME? MY NAME IS CAROL ENGELHART. WARD [26:47] 10, 50 YEARS AN RN. I TRAINED PEOPLE TO HOW TO RESPOND 9-1-1. UNTIL GEORGE FLOYD WAS MURDERED, [26:53] I WAS CONFIDENT THE RIGHT ACTION WOULD BE DONE. I APPLAUD WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW. A MONTH AGO, I [27:01] HAD A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE SOMEBODY WAS GOING DOWN 42nd SPEEDING LIKE 70 OR 80 [27:07] 80 MILES PER HOUR AND SIDESWIPED MY CAR. THE PAR ME [27:14] PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED. THE POLICE WERE CALLED. THEY WERE KIND AND RESPECTFUL. I WANT [27:20] THE STAFFING WE HAVE FOR POLICE. I WANT THE POLICE WE HAVE NOW BUT I WANT THEM TO BE HELD [27:26] ACCOUNTABLE. AND I WELCOME THE CHARTER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE NEED SERIOUS CHANGES. BUT ONE THING THAT BOTHERS ME, I'M [27:32] GOING TO SAY, FOR EVERY POLICEMAN THAT DOES A GOOD JOB, [27:37] LET'S BE THANKFUL. LET'S BE THANKFUL! I THINK WE'VE ENDED UP WITH THIS ATTITUDE OF, [27:45] "ALWAYS SEEING THE WRONG." AND I'M HERE TO SAY LET'S STAND UP TO THE WRONG AND LET'S GET THIS [27:52] PASSED! THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] DO WE HAVE ANY MORE PEOPLE [28:01] SIGNED UP TOP TESTIFY? ALL RIGHT. ANY DISCUSSIONS OR [28:11] QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS. COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU. I KNOW I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH COUNCIL [28:17] PRESIDENT PAYNE REGARDING THIS. I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO DELAY ONE CYCLE. I SHARED THIS [28:24] IN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE, BUT, AND THIS WAS BROUGHT UP DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, AS WELL, IN TERMS OF [28:30] WHAT ARE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY STEPS THAT THE COUNCIL CAN DO WITHIN OUR AUTHORITY IN RESPONSE [28:38] TO THE PUBLIC AND ALL OF US LEARNING WE REPEATED A PATTERN THAT LED TO GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH [28:45] BY PROMOTING ANOTHER OFFICER INTO A POSITION OF LEADERSHIP. UMM, AND DOING THAT IN THE SAME [28:51] CASE WITH SERGEANT HANNEMANN AND KNOWING THAT ACTIONS -- THE [28:57] ACTIONS OF THAT OFFICER LED TO THE DEATH OF AMIR LOCKE, AS WELL. SO THIS GIVES US A [29:03] LEGISLATIVE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. I KNOW A NUMBER OF US ARE MEETING WITH COMMUNITY ADVOCATES IN THE NEXT WEEK. UMM, [29:09] ESPECIALLY FAMILIES WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY POLICE VIOLENCE AROUND WAYS IN WHICH WE COULD INCORPORATE SOME OF THEIR [29:15] FEEDBACKS AND SUGGESTIONS INTO THIS ORDINANCE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A CYCLE TO BE ABLE TO REFINE OUR AMENDMENTS. WORK [29:21] WITH STAFF, WORK WITH THE AUTHORS, UMM, AROUND BRINGING THOSE AMENDMENTS FORWARD. AND A [29:28] CYCLE ALLOWS US DO THAT. WITH THAT, I WILL. >> I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. [29:34] >> OKAY. >> THANK YOU, FIRST. LAST CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT. SO SEEING NO ONE WISHING TO [29:40] SPEAK, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU. SO I WILL MAKE A [29:45] MOTION TO DELAY BY ONE CYCLE. TO TAKE THIS UP FOR CONSIDERATION. >> I'LL SECOND THAT. [29:52] >> COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, ARE YOU ON QUEUE? >> NOT WITH REGARDS TO THE [29:59] MOTION BUT THE UNDERLYING ORDER ORDINANCE. QUESTION FOR [30:05] DIRECTOR PHILIPS. DID YOU DETAIL HOW WE'LL RECRUIT AND SELECT THE CIVILIAN REVIEWERS? >> IT WILL BE THE -- SORRY. [30:12] MICHELLE PHILIPS, DIRECTOR OF CIVIL RIGHTS. IT WOULD BE THE SAME, UMM, RECRUITMENT PROCESS [30:18] WE HAVE TO DO FOR CCPO MEMBERS. WE'LL PUT IT OUT AND IT'S AS OUTLINED IN PARAGRAPH 337 OF THE [30:24] SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE MUST DO A DIVERSE RECRUITMENT. >> OKAY. >> HAPPY TO SHARE THAT [30:29] RECRUITMENT PLAN WITH YOU, IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT ALREADY. >> OKAY. WILL THERE BE ANY, AH, [30:35] ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OTHER THAN WHAT'S REQUIRED OF CCPO MEMBERS? >> YES. THERE'S ADDITIONAL [30:41] ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS THAT IS SET FORTH IN THE ORDINANCE. BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE [30:47] ELIGIBLE TO DO ANY TYPE OF CASE WITH THE PANELISTS. SO THAT ALSO INCLUDES, AH, REVIEW PANEL [30:54] CASES THAT HAVE DATA. THOSE FOLKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO [30:59] PASS, UMM, THE APPROPRIATE TRAININGS, AS WELL AS THE APPROPRIATE BACKGROUND. CCPO MEMBERS, TO BE SEATED ON THE [31:06] COMMISSION, ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO SO. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. UMM, YEAH, [31:14] HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS MOTION, AS WELL, TO DELAY ONE CYCLE. AND JUST THANKS TO THE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS. [31:19] THANK YOU TO YOU. >> THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS [31:25] FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO FURTHER [31:32] DISCUSSIONS, LET ME -- ON THE MOTION TO DELAY THIS TO THE NEXT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING, [31:38] ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? ANY ABSTENTIONS? AND THAT MOTION CARRIES. NOW I'LL [31:46] RETURN THIS MEETING TO COUNCILMEMBER PRESIDENT PAYNE AS THE CHAIR OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE. [31:52] >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. FIRST ITEM AUTHORIZES AN INCREASE TO THE CONTRACT WITH [31:59] DLG CONSULTING AND ADVISORY SERVICES. THEY PROVIDE EXTERNAL INVESTIGATOR SERVICES TO THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION OF THE [32:05] POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND I BELIEVE MPD STAFF IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE ITEM. DO ANY COLLEAGUES HAVE [32:11] ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS? SEEING NONE. I'LL ASK [32:19] THE -- OH. >> MR. CHAIR, I'M SORRY. IT'S NOT ALLOWING ME -- ANY OF US. THERE'S NO MAIN MOTION TO PUT [32:25] OURSELVES INTO QUEUE. BUT I -- I AM -- THERE WE GO. I AM JUST [32:33] CURIOUS, DID WE, IN INDEED, GET THE BACKLOG CLEARED IN JUNE? [32:40] >> IS THERE SOMEONE HERE THAT CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION? [32:49] >> WELCOME. THE COMMANDER, INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION UNIT. WE WERE SEATED IN THE [32:56] OVERFLOW ROOM. I DIDN'T HEAR THE QUESTION, PLEASE. >> UMM, THANK YOU. MR. CHAIR, UMM, I'M JUST CURIOUS, DID WE, [33:03] INDEED, PREVIOUSLY GET THE BACKLOG CLEARED, AS WE HAD EXPECTED TO BY JUNE. >> YES, THE BACKLOG IS CURRENTLY [33:09] CLEARED RIGHT NOW. UMM, HOWEVER, WITH THE CURRENT STAFFING THAT WE HAVE, WITHIN THE FORCE INVESTIGATION UNIT, [33:15] UMM, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE AMOUNT OF CASES THAT'S DEVELOPED EVERY MONTH. WE ARE [33:21] UNDER CONTRACT WITH DLG UNTIL JUNE OF 2026. WE'RE PROPOSING TO INCREASE THE FUNDING TO BE [33:28] ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE WORK FLOW THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO COME IN. EFFECTIVE THE END [33:33] OF AUGUST, WHEN THE FORCE POLICY CHANGES, OUR NUMBER OF LEVEL II FORCE REVIEWS WILL REQUIRE A [33:40] FULL QUALITY ASSURANCE REVIEW OF EACH USE OF FORCE WILL MORE THAN DOUBLE FROM 33 A MONTH TO 72 A [33:47] MONTH. WE NEED THE ASSISTANCE OF DLG TO KEEP UP WITH OUR CASE LOAD UNTIL WE'RE ABLE TO BUILD THE SIZE OF THE UNIT. [33:53] >> THANK YOU. THAT'S HELPFUL INFORMATION. IT GIVES ME CONFIDENCE TO KNOW THAT WE WERE [33:58] ABLE TO CLEAR THE BACKLOG, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SENSE OF WHAT THE SIZE OF ADDITIONAL HELP [34:03] LOOKS LIKE HERE. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. >> COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, [34:09] PRESIDENT PAYNE. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN WHY THE NEW POLICY IS EXPECTED [34:14] TO DOUBLE THE RATE OF REVIEWS FROM 33 TO 72. >> YES. EFFECTIVE WITH THE NEW [34:20] FORCE POLICY, TAKE DOWNS ARE CONSIDERED A LEVEL I USE OF FORCE BECOMES LEVEL II USES OF [34:26] FORCE. THAT'S GOING TO BRING OUR LEVEL II USES OF FORCE THAT WILL REQUIRE A FULL QUALITY [34:31] ASSURANCE REVIEW FROM 30 TO 33 A MONTH TO APPROXIMATELY 72 A MONTH. SO MORE THAN DOUBLING [34:37] THE AMOUNT OF QARS WE'LL HAVE TO COMPLETE EVERY MONTH. >> AND HOW -- DID YOU ANALYZE [34:45] HOW WE CAN DO THIS, UMM, WITHIN OUR OWN CAPACITY? AND IF THAT WOULD BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE [34:51] RATHER THAN CONTRACTING IT OUT TO DLG. >> YES. SO, UMM, UNDER THE -- SO I'LL LET YOU KNOW, WE [34:57] CURRENTLY HAVE FOR STAFFING NOW. WE HAVE ONE COMMANDER, ONE LIEUTENANT, TWO SERGEANT [35:05] INVESTIGATORS, THREE CASE INVESTIGATORS, AND NO ANALYSTS AND NO ADMIN SUPPORT. UNDER THE [35:10] CURRENT POLICY, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, UMM, WE WOULD NEED TO ADD TWO SERGEANT [35:16] INVESTIGATORS AND FOUR CASE INVESTIGATORS, IN ADDITION TO A BWC ANALYST AND ADMINISTRATION [35:22] SUPPORT. WITH THE NEW POLICY GOING INTO EFFECT, THEN WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT A TOTAL OF SEVEN [35:28] SERGEANTS AND 11 INVESTIGATORS, IN ADDITION TO THE ANALYSTS AND THE ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT. THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD NEED FOR [35:35] STAFFING WITH OUR UNIT UNDER THE NEW POLICY, WHEN IT GOES INTO EFFECT TO KEEP UP WITH THE CASE LOAD. [35:40] >> OKAY. SO YOU WOULD ANALYZE IT WOULD COST MORE TO ADD THE POSITIONS THAN THE TOTAL $ [35:50] $1.7 MILLION CONTRACT OF THIS CONSULTING? >> WELL I HAVEN'T PERSONALLY CRUNCHED THE NUMBERS. THAT'S UP [35:56] TO THE IMPLEMENTATION UNIT TO FIGURE IT OUT. IT'S A BRIDGE TO GET US UNTIL WE CAN STAFF OUR UNIT ADEQUATELY. [36:01] >> OKAY. IS THERE A PLAN FOR THAT? >> YES. THERE IS. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK [36:08] YOU. >> YEP. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU FOR THAT [36:16] PRESENTATION. AND SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. [36:21] >> SO MOVED. >> IS THERE A SECOND. >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY "AYE." [36:28] OPPOSED SAY "NAY." ABSTENTIONS? THE AYES HAVE IT. AND THAT [36:34] CARRIES. NEXT WE HAVE A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH BENCHMARK SOLUTIONS TO AMEND THE [36:39] SCOPE OF SERVICES IN ORDER TO INCLUDE A PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT MODULE FOR MPD SERVICES. I'LL [36:46] WELCOME UP NICK BARKLEY TO GIVE THE CONTRACTUAL PRESENTATION ABOUT THE AMENDMENT. WELCOME. [36:55] >> THANK YOU, CHAIR AND COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS NICK. I MANAGE THE EARLY INTERVENTION [37:01] SYSTEM HERE AT THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND JUST TOO MAKE SURE, CAN EVERYBODY SEE THE PRESENTATION? EXCELLENT. [37:07] EXCUSE ME. SO I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY ASKING TO AMEND THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH [37:14] BENCHMARK ANALYTICS FOR THE EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM TO INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL MODULE THEY PROVIDE, WHICH THEY CALL [37:21] PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. THE CONTRACT CURRENTLY IN PLACE IS FOR $2,275,000 OVER FIVE YEARS. [37:29] WE'RE SEEKING AN AMENDMENT TO ADD ANOTHER 1,409D -FOR THE [37:37] ADDITIONAL OF THE MODULE FOR THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, IT IS BROKEN DOWN [37:43] OVER FIVE YEARS WITH AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $27,370 FOR [37:49] THE ADDITIONAL MODULE. THE MODULE DOESN'T CHANGE ANY OF THE OTHER BENEFITS THAT WE HAVE WITH [37:55] THIS CONTRACT, IN TERMS OF HOSTING OR ANY FEES OR IMPLEMENTATION FEES OR CHANGE [38:03] ORDER FEES. THOSE ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THE TOTALITY OF THE EXISTING CONTRACT. THIS WOULD SIMPLY BE FOR AN EXPANSION OF [38:09] SERVICES ALLOWED WITHIN THE CONTRACT. WHY ARE WE LOOKING FOR THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT [38:15] MODULE? THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS. ONE, THE CURRENT WAY WE DO PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS AT [38:21] THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT OR THE [38:29] LANGUAGE OF THE CONSENT DECREE, WHEN WE HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO IMPLEMENT AS WRITTEN. THE [38:34] SYSTEM IS HIGHLY CONFIGURATION TO THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THE [38:41] POLICING PROFESSION. IT'S, AGAIN, VERY CHANGEABLE AND NO COSTS ARE INCURRED BY THE CITY [38:47] FOR MAKE ANY OF THE CHANGES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PRECINCT WANTS [38:52] TO TRACK CERTAIN MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE OVER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, THEY WOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE A SPECIFIC [39:00] PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT OR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION QUESTION OR FORM FOR WHATEVER IT IS THEY'RE LOOKING TO TRACK. IT [39:06] WILL BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FIRST SIGN MODULE, THIER [39:11] INTERVENTION SYSTEM, AS PART OF OVERALL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND EVALUATION. JUST RECENTLY [39:17] PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS HOUSED WITHIN EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM FOR THE PURPOSES OF KEEPING ALL [39:23] OF OUR PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS IN ONE PLACE. AND THIS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF [39:30] SYSTEMS THAT OUR SUPERVISORS, IN PARTICULAR, ARE REQUIRED TO OPERATE WITHIN THE DAY-TO-DAY [39:37] FUNCTIONS OF THEIR SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES. IT ALSO INCREASES THE ADDITION OF THE MODULE WOULD INCREASE THE [39:43] PROBABILITY THAT WE WOULD ACHIEVE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT COMPLIANCE ON TIME, AS IT RELATES TO PERFORMANCE [39:48] MANAGEMENT. UMM, THE ADDITION OF THIS MODULE DOES MEET SEVERAL [39:56] REQUIREMENTS OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, AS IT PERTAINS TO [40:02] PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND ALLOW FOR THE COMPLIANCE TO OCCUR WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED DEADLINE [40:07] SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT. AND WITH THAT, WITH I STAND FOR [40:14] QUESTIONS. >> COLLEAGUES, ANY REQ [40:22] QUESTIONS? HOW ARE WE MANAGING EI S PRIOR TO THE SYSTEM? >> EIS, EXCUSE ME, CHAIR, [40:30] THROUGH COMMITTEE. EIS HAS BEEN MANAGED, UMM, PRIOR TO BENCHMARK [40:36] THROUGH A SERIES OF EXCEL SPREAD SHEETS AND WORD DOCUMENTS AND E-MAIL. THAT HAVE BEEN, YOU [40:42] KNOW, KIND OF LIVING IN DIFFERENT AREAS ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE. WERE DIRECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO [40:47] CONTINUE OPERATING IN FASHION UNTIL WE HAVE THE SYSTEM. THIS PARTICULAR MOOD YULE IS SEPARATE [40:52] FROM THE FIRST EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM. BUT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR EVALUATION AS [40:59] PART OF THE FIRST SIGN EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM. >> SO THEN AS A FOLLOW UP, DO [41:05] YOU ENVISION, UMM, TRYING TO ADOPT YOUR CURRENT WORK FLOWS IN THIS KIND OF HODGEPODGE OF [41:11] DOCUMENTS AND TOOLS. ARE YOU GOING TO TRY TO INCORPORATE ALL THE WORK FLOW INTO THE [41:16] CENTRALIZED SYSTEM? OR ARE THEY GOING TO KIND OF LIVE PARALLEL WITH EACH OTHER? >> YES, GOOD QUESTION, CHAIR. [41:22] AND COMMITTEE, THE BIG WIN, FROM [41:27] MY POINT, IN ADDING THIS MODULE, IS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL ELEMENTS WITHIN THE SETTLEMENT [41:33] AGREEMENT THAT REQUIRE SUPERVISOR CHECK INS ON A STANDARD BASIS. SOME OF IT IS MONTHLY. SOME IS QUARTERLY. [41:40] SOME OF IT IS ANNUALLY. HAVING THE MOOD YULE IN PLACE WILL DO A [41:45] COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE, REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SYSTEMS AN OFFICER OR SUPERVISOR NEEDS TO WORK IN. [41:50] TWO, ALLOWING FOR THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS TO BE BUILT WHILE ACCOMPLISHING OTHER [41:56] REQUIRED CHECK INS. IN THEORY, BEING IF WE DID GET THIS RIGHT, UMM, THOSE MONTHLY CHECK [42:03] INS WILL BUILD UPON THEMSELVES TO MAKE THE ANNUAL EVALUATION MUCH MORE STREAMLINED AND MORE [42:08] EFFICIENT. SO THE LONG ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS, YES, IT [42:13] WILL CONSOLIDATE AND MAKE THE PROCESSES MORE EFFICIENT. >> COOL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR [42:19] COMMENTS? COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY MY [42:30] UNDERSTANDING ON THE CONTRACT ITSELF AND JUST THE BUDGET [42:35] ALLOCATION. SO THIS SPECIFIC ITEM THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, IT'S [42:41] FOR AN AMOUNT OF $109,000 AND SOME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. AND [42:48] IT COMES FROM A BASE CONTRACT THAT WAS PASSED THROUGH THIS COUNCIL OF $.4 MILLI [43:00] $2 2.4 MILLION OR A LITTLE BIT [43:07] OVER THAT. >> THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S AN AMENDMENT TO THE ALREADY-EXISTING CONTRACT. IT'S NOT A NEW CONTRACT. >> GREAT. IT'S PULLING FROM THE [43:14] ALLOCATED AMOUNT THAT ALREADY EXISTS. OKAY. THANK YOU. >> YES, MA'AM. >> I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. [43:20] >> SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. [43:27] >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> THAT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR [43:33] SAY "AYE." OPPOSED SAY "NAY." ABSTENTIONS? THAT ITEM [43:40] CARRIES. THE NEXT ITEM WE HAVE HERE IS AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT [43:46] WITH WELLNESS THAT FITS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. HERE TO SPEAK MORE ON THE ITEM [43:51] IS MPD MANAGER OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS MEREDITH MRYTYR. AND [44:08] COMMANDER REISDORFER. >> THANK YOU. I'M THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS MANAGER FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. [44:14] I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY TOO PRESENT ON THE CONTRACT WITH WELLNESS THAT FITS AND PROVIDE A [44:20] BIT MORE CONTEXT. SO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT [44:26] DECREE STATE FOR THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY TO OFFER THEY ORED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO [44:31] OFFICERS, INCLUDING TRAUMA INFORMED CARE, SUBSTANCE USE, STRESS MANAGEMENT, PEER SUPPORT, CRISIS COUNSELING, AND TRAINING [44:38] AREAS. IN ADDITION, THE CONSORTIUM RESEARCH TEAM, THE INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR, WHO [44:43] PROVIDED THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT REQUIRED BY THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A VAST IMPROVEMENT IN MENTAL [44:48] HEALTH SERVICES. LEFA REQUIRED WE ACT ON THE [44:55] CONSORTIUM'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICES IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE DECREE AND AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, THE CITY [45:01] RECOGNIZES THE NEED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO MPD OFFICERS THAT MAY EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO SIGNIFICANT [45:07] DANGER, HIGH-STRESS, AND A WIDE SPECTRUM OF HUGE TRAGEDY. MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL [45:13] WELLNESS ARE CRITICAL TO JOB PERFORMANCE AND GENERAL SAFETY. [45:19] WE KNOW LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL FACE EXTRAORDINARILY [45:24] PSYCHOLOGICAL DEMANDS AND OFTEN RELUCTANT TO SEEK SUPPORT. [45:29] THEREFORE, THE CITY MUST SECURE A MENTAL HEALTH MANAGER THAT GROUNDS THEIR WORK IN BUILDING TRUST AND ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH [45:35] SERVICES THAT ARE INTEGRATED, FLEXIBLE, AND TRAUMA INFORMED. [45:41] CITY COUNCIL HAD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED A SIMILAR CONTRACT FOR [45:46] 2023 TO 2025 WITH OPTIONS FOR TWO ADDITIONAL YEARS FOR A TOTAL ANNUAL COMPENSATION TO NOT [45:52] EXCEED AROUND $950,000. HOWEVER, THE SERVICES RENDERED BY THE VENDOR DID NOT MEET OUR [45:57] NEEDS AND HAVE BEEN DETERMINED THEY WILL NOT FULFILL THE NEEDS OUTLINED IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT DECREE. [46:04] WE ARE REQUESTING NOW SIMILAR CONTRACT WITH INCREASED SERVICES TO FULFILL THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT DECREE [46:11] REQUIREMENTS. THE CURRENT VENDOR CONTRACT WILL EXPIRE AT THE END OF 2025, AND THE NEW [46:16] CONTRACT WITH WELLNESS THAT FITS WILL ENSURE THERE ARE NO INTERRUPTIONS TO SERVICES PROVIDED TO MPD MEMBERS. AND [46:24] THEN JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND AROUND WELLNESS THAT FITS. UMM, THEY ARE A COLLECTIVE OF LICENSED MENTAL [46:30] HEALTH PROFESSIONALS THAT SPECIALIZE IN SERVING FIRST RESPONDERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT [46:36] ACROSS MINNESOTA, BUT PRIMARILY IN THE TWIN CITIES METRO ■AREA. THEY OFFER COMPREHENSIVE, CULTURALLY MINDFUL, AND [46:42] RESPONSIVE CARE THAT WOULD PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL CARE TO MPD STAFF AND LOVED ONES. THE [46:49] CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE DRAFTED BETWEEN WELLNESS THAT FITS AND THE CITY FOCUSES ON THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT [46:56] DECREE REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING TRAUMA INFORMED CARE, PEER SUPPORT TEAM CLINICAL [47:01] ASSISTANCE, AND CONSULTATION, AND DEVELOPING, REVIEWING, RECRUIT AND IN-SERVICE TRAININGS. WELLNESS THAT FITS [47:08] IS REQUIRED TO FOLLOW ALL ADA, HIPPAA AND LEGAL GUIDELINES. [47:13] WE'LL HAVE A THREE-YEAR BUDGET CAP OF $2.76 MILLION, AND THE TOTAL COMPENSATION SHALL NOT [47:20] EXCEED $.6 MIL [47:26] 4.6 MILLION. TO GIVE A BREAK DOWN, WE HAVE THEM LISTED ON THE [47:31] SLIDE. AN ESTIMATED 4,000 COUNSELING SESSIONS PER YEAR. THERE'S GOING TO BE ACCESS TO [47:38] OVER 24/7 PHONE LINE OFFERING SUPPORT AND REFERRAL SERVICES TO MPD EMPLOYEES AND LOVED ONES. [47:43] THERE WILL BE PEER SUPPORT TEAM, CLINICAL CONSULTATION, AND OVERSIGHT BY A CLINICAL LEAD. [47:48] THERE WILL BE URGENT TRAUMATIC BRIEFING SESSIONS AS WELL AS MAJOR OPERATIONS AND MULTIPLE [47:55] INCIDENT SUPPORT SYSTEMS. AND APPOINTMENTS. ANNUAL WELLNESS CHECK IN APPOINTMENTS, AS NEEDED [48:00] OR WANTED. FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES, WHICH WILL BE AN ARRAY OF OFFERINGS SUPPORT GROUPS, [48:06] FAMILY NIGHTS, AND TRAINING SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO LOVED ONES OF FIRST RESPONDERS. THEY [48:12] WILL ALSO BE FACILITATED AN ESTIMATED 40 TRAININGS PER YEAR ON PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT, [48:18] RESILIENCY, AND TRAUMA. AND, LASTLY, PROVIDING CLINICAL CONSULTATION AND PRESENTATIONS [48:24] FOR DEPARTMENTAL SUPPORT, AS REQUESTED AND NEEDED. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THIS [48:30] PRESENTATION. AND CONSIDERING THE CONTRACT. AND I WELCOME, OF COURSE, ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU [48:36] HAVE. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. I'M GOING BACK TO SLIDE THREE. [48:44] UMM, AND THE SPECIFICS OR BULLET POINTS AROUND SERVICES RENDERED [48:50] DID NOT MEET OUR NEEDS. IF YOU CAN SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN TERMS WHAT WAS MISSING HA-HA [48:55] AND THE PREVIOUS CONTRACT THAT WAS NOT MET. >> YEAH. YEAH. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. GREAT QUESTION. [49:01] SO, UMM, WELL, FIRST OFF, SO, OF COURSE, BEING UNDER SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT DECREE, THERE WERE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS [49:07] THAT HAVE TO BE MET WITHIN THE CONTRACT. SO THEY'RE JUST [49:13] JU GENERALLY UNIQUE NEEDS THAT ARE PROVIDING MORE [49:19] EXCEPTIONAL HIGH-LEVEL OF SERVICES AND RESPONSE THAT JUST KIND OF ALREADY LIMITS THE TYPE OF VENDORS THAT CAN RESPOND AS A [49:24] WHOLE TO THE NEEDS OF MPD. WELLNESS THAT FITS HAS THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE AND MEET [49:30] OUR NEEDS. AND SO THEY'RE AN AGENCY THAT STILL KIND OF HAS [49:35] THE LATITUDE TO TAKE IN IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK AND IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT THOSE CHANGES, MAYBE VERSUS COMPARED [49:40] TO, LIKE, LARGER-SCALE NATIONAL CLINICS. RIGHT. THE SERVICES WILL ALSO BE BETTER [49:45] ACCOMPLISHED. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE 24/7 LINE IS A NECESSARY [49:50] REQUIREMENT OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE GUARANTEED THEY CAN PROVIDE TO [49:56] US AND HAVE PROVIDED ELEMENT STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS OF HOW THEY WILL IMPLEMENT THAT. AND THEN, [50:04] ALSO, THEY HAVE -- THEIR CLINICAL LEAD IS KIND OF ONE OF THE TOP FOLKS IN THE STATE FOR [50:09] PEER SUPPORT CONSULTATION. AND SO SHE REALLY PROVIDES A LEVEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERTISE AND [50:16] PREVENTION THAT, I THINK OUR TEAM WOULD LOVE TO BE SEEN AND APPLIED TO MPD. [50:22] >> AWESOME THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. >> THANK YOU.. >> AND THEN GOING OVER TO SLIDE [50:27] SIX, WHERE IT SAYS AT THE TOP "ESTIMATED 4,000 COUNSELING [50:33] SESSIONS PER YEAR." CAN YOU SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF IN TERMS OF HOW WE'LL BE CAPTURING THE [50:38] USAGE OF THOSE. OR, LIKE, INFORMATION, AROUND THAT. >> OH, SURE. UMM, YES. SO JUST [50:44] TO GIVE A QUICK BACKGROUND OF WHY I SAID 4,000 COUNSELING SESSIONS PER YEAR. SO WHAT I [50:50] DID, I CONSULTED THE NIH NUMBERS AROUND JUST GENERAL NATIONAL [50:56] NUMBERS OF FOLKS THAT ACCESS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND ON AVERAGE IT'S ABOUT 20 TO 25% OF [51:01] THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT WILL ACCESS SPECIFICALLY COUNSELING. IT'S HIGHER FOR PSYCHIATRIC [51:07] CARE. AND SO THEN WE LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF AVERAGE COUNSELING SESSIONS TO SEE, YEAH, THAT [51:13] MARKED MENTAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. SO DEMANDING ON T -- DEPENDING ON TYPE OF [51:19] THERAPY BEING USED, IT GENERALLY TAKES 10 TO 20 SESSIONS TO SEE [51:24] MARKED CLINICAL IMPROVEMENT. BASED ON THE INFORMATION AND THE NUMBER OF STAFF AT MPD, WE KIND OF WORKED OUT A ROUGH ESTIMATE [51:30] OF WHAT POTENTIALLY COULD BE THE UPWARDS NUMBER PER A YEAR OF COUNSELING SESSIONS. I WILL [51:36] JUST SAY, IN MY PROFESSIONAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCE, IT PROBABLY [51:42] WON'T GET TO 4,000. TO BE SAFE, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO BASE IT ON THE NUMBERS AND THE DATA WE HAVE. TO GET BACK TO YOUR [51:49] OTHER QUESTION, OR THE MAIN QUESTION ABOUT HOW WE'LL BE TRACKING THAT DATA. SO, OBVIOUSLY, CONSIDERING THE [51:55] IMPORTANCE OF HIPPAA AND CONFIDENTIALITY, AND WANTING TO HOLD TRUE TO THAT, WE ARE [52:01] ALREADY IN TALKS WITH WELLNESS THAT FITS -- AND THIS WAS PART OF THEIR PROPOSAL TO US -- OF HOW THEY WERE GOING TO TRACK [52:07] DATA THAT WOULD BE GIVEN TO US SO WE COULD OF COURSE, REPORT OUT THE USAGE OF INFORMATION. [52:14] BUT WOULDN'T COMPLETELY DEIDENTIFY. JUST FOR BASIC, [52:19] WE'LL BE TRACKING NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE UTILIZING SPECIFIC SERVICES. SO WE WENT [52:25] EVER KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE NAME OF THE PERSON THAT'S USING OAR OR EVEN THE RANKS OR ANYTHING [52:32] LIKE THAT. >> DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S QUARTERLY UPDATES YOU'LL BE RECEIVING? AND I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE [52:39] 25% AVERAGE BASED ON THE NIH FIGURES. I WAS THINKING THAT, TOO. WE CAN'T, OF COURSE, LIKE, [52:46] RECEIVE SENSITIVE OR CONFIDENTIAL OR PERSONNEL INFORMATION. DO WE HAVE A [52:52] METRIC THAT WE'RE REACHING THAT IS BAKED INTO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AROUND 25% OF THE [52:57] 4,000 OR, LIKE, SO EVEN JUST SEEING HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY MAKING [53:02] USE OF THE TOTALITY OF THE SERVICE. >> YEAH. YEP. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER. SO [53:09] THERE ISN'T A SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT THAT'S BAKED INTO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE A SPECIFIC GOAL THAT WE'RE [53:15] SUPPOSED TO GET TO. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'LL A LITTLE BIT BASED AS A CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANYONE AND [53:22] EVERYONE ACCESSING SERVICES. ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE FREE AND ACCESSIBLE. THAT BEING SAID, UMM, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, [53:29] WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING WITH WELLNESS THAT FITS, TRYING TO DO A CAMPAIGN THAT ADDRESSES [53:34] THE STIGMA AND CULTURAL MISTRUST AND FEAR OF FOLKS HAVING ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION. DID THAT [53:44] ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? >> AND THE REPORTING AND THE FREQUENCY OF THAT? >> SO SORRY ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. AT MINIMUM, IT'S GOING TO [53:49] BE QUARTERLY. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I PERSONALLY WOULD WORK [53:55] WITH DR. BRITTANY, THE DIRECTOR OF WELLNESS THAT FITS, TO POTENTIALLY TO DO MONTHLY BUT FORMALLY AT MINIMUM, IT'LL [54:01] BE QUARTERLY. >> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. THOSE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE, PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> THANK YOU. [54:07] >> SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. >> SO MOVED. [54:14] >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY "AYE." OPPOSED SAY "NAY." ABSTENTIONS? [54:21] THAT CARRIES. AND I WILL RETURN THE CHAIR BACK TO COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ FOR OUR STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS. [54:26] >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE. WE'LL FINISH IT OFF WITH [54:32] COMMITTEE REPORTS. FIRST, I'LL PASS IT TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENTERPRISE OVERSIGHT [54:38] COMMITTEE.
