and respect, where differences

50
00:03:55,734 --> 00:03:57,360

56
00:04:04,976 --> 00:04:06,245

00:04:15,822 --> 00:04:17,623
justice and human dignity that

64
00:04:17,623 --> 00:04:19,291

00:04:19,291 --> 00:04:20,593
word reminds us to seek wisdom,

66
00:04:20,593 --> 00:04:22,461
to pursue justice, to love

67
00:04:22,461 --> 00:04:24,300
mercy, and to walk humbly. MAY

68
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:25,970

69
00:04:25,970 --> 00:04:26,698

70
00:04:26,698 --> 00:04:28,670

could tell the council more

268
00:09:50,425 --> 00:09:51,893

269
00:09:51,893 --> 00:09:53,261

00:09:53,261 --> 00:09:54,896

386
00:12:59,816 --> 00:13:01,484
am in support of it as it is

387
00:13:01,484 --> 00:13:02,786
written, uh, at this time. So I

388
00:13:02,786 --> 00:13:04,454
wanted to just provide some

389
00:13:04,454 --> 00:13:05,355
additional clarity. So what I

390
00:13:05,355 --> 00:13:06,890
want to do, I just want to

391
00:13:06,890 --> 00:13:08,580
recap my understanding and you

392
00:13:08,580 --> 00:13:08,191
can fill in the gaps. I don

393
00:13:08,191 --> 00:13:09,625
t

394
00:13:09,625 --> 00:13:11,160
want to take a lot of time. Uh,

395
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,620
there were obviously some, some

396
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:15,298
concerns from the community in

397
00:13:15,298 --> 00:13:17,200
regards to this particular, uh,

398
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,735
rezoning. And so I just wanted

399
00:13:18,735 --> 00:13:20,704
to provide some information to

400
00:13:20,704 --> 00:13:22,872
address those. Uh, the first

401
00:13:22,872 --> 00:13:24,941
aspect of that, uh, it was

402
00:13:24,941 --> 00:13:27,341
originally planned to rezone

403
00:13:29,112 --> 00:13:31,615
again, about 123 acres from Lee

404
00:13:31,615 --> 00:13:33,750
to h. I. And part of that, uh,

405
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:36,150
rezoning, per my understanding,

406
00:13:36,453 --> 00:13:37,787
was one, uh, addressing, uh,

407
00:13:37,787 --> 00:13:39,220
temporary storage. And then

408
00:13:39,220 --> 00:13:40,691
another aspect was some

409
00:13:40,691 --> 00:13:41,725
building, uh, modifications

410
00:13:41,725 --> 00:13:44,725
there. So those were two

411
00:13:45,195 --> 00:13:46,963
things. Uh, so the current, uh,

412
00:13:46,963 --> 00:13:48,197
recommendation, which was

413
00:13:48,197 --> 00:13:48,532
revised, which I again, I

414
00:13:48,532 --> 00:13:48,865
m in

415
00:13:48,865 --> 00:13:50,634
approval, I

416
00:13:50,634 --> 00:13:52,769
m in, um, agreement

417
00:13:52,769 --> 00:13:55,769
with is to reduce that

418
00:13:56,373 --> 00:13:58,475
rezoning, uh, down to 61 acres.

419
00:13:58,475 --> 00:13:58,975
And that would be for the area

420
00:13:58,975 --> 00:13:59,710
there where they

421
00:13:59,710 --> 00:14:01,710
re actually

422
00:14:02,145 --> 00:14:03,946
going to build the extension of

423
00:14:03,946 --> 00:14:05,716
the steel fab, uh,

424
00:14:05,716 --> 00:14:06,683
manufacturing. All right. In

425
00:14:06,683 --> 00:14:07,651
addition to that, there were

426
00:14:07,651 --> 00:14:08,520
some concerns with the Rose

427
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,520
s

428
00:14:10,954 --> 00:14:11,955
Lake, uh, bed possibly being

429
00:14:11,955 --> 00:14:12,589
touched. And then there

430
00:14:12,589 --> 00:14:14,391
s a

431
00:14:14,391 --> 00:14:16,391
conservative, uh, conservation

432
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,610
district out there. And then

433
00:14:18,610 --> 00:14:19,263
beyond that, there was a layer

434
00:14:19,263 --> 00:14:21,131
of trees there and just

435
00:14:21,131 --> 00:14:22,266
providing some visuals. Uh, so,

436
00:14:22,266 --> 00:14:22,899
as currently met, the Rose

437
00:14:22,899 --> 00:14:24,802
s

438
00:14:24,802 --> 00:14:25,903
Lake Lake bed will not be

439
00:14:25,903 --> 00:14:26,970
touched. The conservation

440
00:14:26,970 --> 00:14:29,306
district, they have agreed to

441
00:14:29,306 --> 00:14:30,774
keep that in place, uh, as

442
00:14:30,774 --> 00:14:31,740
Yes, COUNCILMAN. That

443
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:31,475
s all

444
00:14:31,475 --> 00:14:32,842
correct.

445
00:14:32,842 --> 00:14:34,444
All right. And then thirdly,

446
00:14:34,444 --> 00:14:36,212
this should address the aspect

447
00:14:36,212 --> 00:14:36,881
of ownership. Uh, this isn

448
00:14:36,881 --> 00:14:37,181
t

449
00:14:37,181 --> 00:14:38,682
this isn

450
00:14:38,682 --> 00:14:39,349
t an odd, uh,

451
00:14:39,349 --> 00:14:39,950
situation. It

452
00:14:39,950 --> 00:14:41,318
s something that

453
00:14:41,318 --> 00:14:42,386
actually occurs very frequently

454
00:14:42,386 --> 00:14:42,753
within real estate, where if

455
00:14:42,753 --> 00:14:44,454
someone doesn

456
00:14:44,454 --> 00:14:46,156
t necessarily,

457
00:14:46,156 --> 00:14:49,159
uh, own a property, they can do

458
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:51,610
an affirmation of an affidavit

459
00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:52,663
of ownership. Is that correct?

460
00:14:52,663 --> 00:14:54,297
Correct. That happens almost

461
00:14:54,297 --> 00:14:54,865
every rezoning. We do.

462
00:14:54,865 --> 00:14:55,732
Yes. And it

463
00:14:55,732 --> 00:14:56,400
s not just big

464
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:56,900
organization, it

465
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:57,200
s smaller

466
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,101
ones. It

467
00:14:58,101 --> 00:15:00,710
s smaller businesses

468
00:15:00,710 --> 00:15:01,272
as well. And basically I just

469
00:15:01,272 --> 00:15:01,572
wanted the community know it

470
00:15:01,572 --> 00:15:02,506
s

471
00:15:02,506 --> 00:15:03,307
hey, I want to I

472
00:15:03,307 --> 00:15:05,175
m wanting to

473
00:15:05,175 --> 00:15:06,377
buy this land before I buy it.

474
00:15:06,377 --> 00:15:08,120
I want to make sure that I can

475
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,245
do what I need to do with it.

476
00:15:08,245 --> 00:15:09,212
And it

477
00:15:09,212 --> 00:15:10,814
s no different than if I

478
00:15:10,814 --> 00:15:12,160
was opening a a salon or

479
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,117
something, somewhere. I want to

480
00:15:13,117 --> 00:15:15,153
make sure that I can get that.

481
00:15:15,153 --> 00:15:17,121
So that had just been, uh, in

482
00:15:17,121 --> 00:15:19,356
place, uh, thirdly, fourthly,

483
00:15:19,356 --> 00:15:21,558
and the last aspect, part of a

484
00:15:21,558 --> 00:15:23,860
small portion of their

485
00:15:23,860 --> 00:15:26,960
operations, uh, would be moved

486
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:27,197
from the front of Steel Fab,

487
00:15:27,197 --> 00:15:28,699
which is right there, located

488
00:15:28,699 --> 00:15:30,768
near one of my Whispering Pines

489
00:15:30,768 --> 00:15:32,536
community, uh, to the back. So

490
00:15:32,536 --> 00:15:33,471
that was a plus for this

491
00:15:33,471 --> 00:15:33,637
particular community. I

492
00:15:33,637 --> 00:15:33,771
ve,

493
00:15:33,771 --> 00:15:35,771
I

494
00:15:36,607 --> 00:15:37,842
ve spoken with, uh, those of,

495
00:15:37,842 --> 00:15:39,576
uh, Whispering Pines, and we

496
00:15:39,576 --> 00:15:40,778
just had our Hillandale West

497
00:15:40,778 --> 00:15:42,913
meeting as well. And I know

498
00:15:42,913 --> 00:15:44,982
some of the individuals, uh,

499
00:15:44,982 --> 00:15:46,160
did go to the zoning commission

500
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,518
as well to voice their

501
00:15:47,518 --> 00:15:48,619
concerns. And so I just wanted

502
00:15:48,619 --> 00:15:48,853
to provide that. So if there

503
00:15:48,853 --> 00:15:49,887
s

504
00:15:49,887 --> 00:15:50,321
any aspects that I

505
00:15:50,321 --> 00:15:51,221
ve missed

506
00:15:51,221 --> 00:15:53,424
that would provide some

507
00:15:53,424 --> 00:15:54,725
clarity, uh, on some things, if

508
00:15:54,725 --> 00:15:55,493
you would do that, that, that

509
00:15:55,493 --> 00:15:56,193
would I would greatly

510
00:15:56,193 --> 00:15:57,928
appreciate it.

511
00:15:57,928 --> 00:15:59,530
I think, COUNCILMAN, you you

512
00:15:59,530 --> 00:16:00,297
covered it pretty well right

513
00:16:00,297 --> 00:16:00,531
there. I think you

514
00:16:00,531 --> 00:16:00,665
ve you

515
00:16:00,665 --> 00:16:02,367
ve

516
00:16:02,367 --> 00:16:04,802
been pretty much involved in

517
00:16:04,802 --> 00:16:05,936
this, uh, for a while. So, you

518
00:16:05,936 --> 00:16:06,904
know, well what

519
00:16:06,904 --> 00:16:08,806
s been going on

520
00:16:08,806 --> 00:16:09,340
and what the concerns are out

521
00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:10,575
there.

522
00:16:10,575 --> 00:16:10,842
Okay. All right. And, MR.

523
00:16:10,842 --> 00:16:12,100
Mayor, I

524
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:12,710
ll be ready to make a

525
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:13,444

534
00:16:25,790 --> 00:16:27,258
evidence based submitted and

535
00:16:27,258 --> 00:16:28,759
findings that the rezoning is

536
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:30,294
consistent with the future land

537
00:16:30,294 --> 00:16:32,664
use plan, as demonstrated by

538
00:16:32,664 --> 00:16:34,165
the attached consistency and

539
00:16:34,165 --> 00:16:34,999
reasonable statement.

continuation of a special use

554
00:17:08,566 --> 00:17:10,602
permit. Um, that, uh, we heard

555
00:17:10,602 --> 00:17:11,736
a few weeks back, um, asked

556
00:17:11,736 --> 00:17:14,139
this item to be pulled for a

557
00:17:14,139 --> 00:17:16,108
separate vote. Um, special use

558
00:17:16,108 --> 00:17:18,543
permit just to our audience.

559
00:17:18,543 --> 00:17:20,512
Uh, are basically governed by,

560
00:17:20,512 --> 00:17:22,800
uh, state statute, which says

561
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,490
that there are a number of

562
00:17:24,490 --> 00:17:26,985
findings of facts. Six in this

563
00:17:26,985 --> 00:17:29,985
case, um, that, uh, sworn

564
00:17:31,490 --> 00:17:34,490
testimony in, uh, uh, evidence,

565
00:17:35,627 --> 00:17:37,596
uh, either support or, uh, or

566
00:17:37,596 --> 00:17:40,799
do not support or build a case

567
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:42,234
to support or not support, um,

568
00:17:42,234 --> 00:17:43,835
these findings and facts for

569
00:17:43,835 --> 00:17:45,370
counsel. So counsel wanted a

570
00:17:45,370 --> 00:17:47,939
separate vote for this for

571
00:17:47,939 --> 00:17:49,741
consent. Um, and uh, with that

572
00:17:49,741 --> 00:17:51,777
can entertain a motiono

573
00:17:51,777 --> 00:17:52,744
consider this item unless there

574
00:17:52,744 --> 00:17:53,812
were some further questions.

575
00:17:53,812 --> 00:17:55,246

00:19:29,308 --> 00:19:31,444

presentation now. Thank you.

643
00:20:05,678 --> 00:20:08,780
Good evening, MR. Mayor.

644
00:20:08,248 --> 00:20:09,282
Members of the council. Um, my

645
00:20:09,282 --> 00:20:09,549
name is Scott Walters. I

646
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,840
m with

647
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,952
the development Services

648
00:20:12,952 --> 00:20:15,756
department. Uh, this will be a

649
00:20:15,756 --> 00:20:17,356
short presentation on possible

650
00:20:17,356 --> 00:20:19,625
text amendments to our sign

651
00:20:19,625 --> 00:20:21,561
code specifically related to

652
00:20:21,561 --> 00:20:23,961
wall mounted signage, window

653
00:20:24,970 --> 00:20:26,299
signage, and the downtown two

654
00:20:26,299 --> 00:20:27,967
district. Um, the council has

655
00:20:27,967 --> 00:20:29,236
already seen this presentation

656
00:20:29,236 --> 00:20:32,236
once before at their work

657
00:20:32,705 --> 00:20:34,340
session on JUNE the 1st. Um,

658
00:20:34,340 --> 00:20:36,610
the original presentation had

659
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:38,644
seven examples of those seven

660
00:20:38,644 --> 00:20:40,447
examples, four were selected by

661
00:20:40,447 --> 00:20:44,470
the council to move forward for

662
00:20:46,419 --> 00:20:48,188
public hearing. The staff

663
00:20:48,188 --> 00:20:50,423
presented the four examples to

664
00:20:50,423 --> 00:20:52,992
the Planning Commission, um, at

665
00:20:52,992 --> 00:20:54,361
their JULY 21st meeting, uh, as

666
00:20:54,361 --> 00:20:56,496
part of the public hearing

667
00:20:56,496 --> 00:20:58,298
process and to get their

668
00:20:58,298 --> 00:20:59,632
recommendations tonight, we

669
00:20:59,632 --> 00:21:01,601
bring it back before the

670
00:21:01,601 --> 00:21:04,100
council. Uh, for your

671
00:21:07,307 --> 00:21:09,343
consideration. Uh, the first

672
00:21:09,343 --> 00:21:11,277
example in this is, uh, for

673
00:21:11,277 --> 00:21:11,511
mounted signage. And

674
00:21:11,511 --> 00:21:12,512
what we

675
00:21:12,512 --> 00:21:14,647
re doing with this

676
00:21:14,647 --> 00:21:15,949
example is we would remove the

677
00:21:15,949 --> 00:21:17,784
five sign limit that we

678
00:21:17,784 --> 00:21:19,119
currently have in place. Uh,

679
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,519
and then building mounted

680
00:21:21,855 --> 00:21:24,900
signage would only be regulated

681
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:25,759
by the wall area of each side

682
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:28,759
of the building using the

683
00:21:29,463 --> 00:21:31,264
increased allowance below. Um,

684
00:21:31,264 --> 00:21:33,533
the way it reads, unless

685
00:21:33,533 --> 00:21:35,350
otherwise stated, the permitted

686
00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:37,438
copy area for building mounted

687
00:21:37,438 --> 00:21:39,206
signage shall be calculated as

688
00:21:39,206 --> 00:21:39,940
the greater of either. Um.

689
00:21:39,940 --> 00:21:41,940
Currently it

690
00:21:42,976 --> 00:21:45,376
s 1 to 1. We would

691
00:21:48,649 --> 00:21:50,417
increase that to 1.5 to 1, and

692
00:21:50,417 --> 00:21:51,451
the second one is 10%

693
00:21:51,451 --> 00:21:53,851
currently. And that would

694
00:21:55,555 --> 00:21:57,858
increase to 15%. The next is

695
00:21:57,858 --> 00:21:59,560
the downtown two district. Uh,

696
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,861
this would remove the downtown

697
00:22:00,861 --> 00:22:02,662
two districts from the

698
00:22:02,662 --> 00:22:04,931
limitations of the subsection

699
00:22:04,931 --> 00:22:06,900
below. Uh, and it would place

700
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:09,536
or allow the two district to

701
00:22:09,536 --> 00:22:11,539
use the same standards as all

702
00:22:11,539 --> 00:22:13,539
other nonresidential districts

703
00:22:13,741 --> 00:22:16,141
for building. Building mounted

704
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:19,110
signage currently, the two

705
00:22:20,314 --> 00:22:22,750
district is, uh, limited to one

706
00:22:22,750 --> 00:22:25,750
exterior building of sign per

707
00:22:27,955 --> 00:22:30,625
street front. Example f is

708
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:32,225
windows, signage, and this

709
00:22:32,225 --> 00:22:34,762
would remove the limitation on

710
00:22:34,762 --> 00:22:36,964
window signage related to walls

711
00:22:36,964 --> 00:22:40,200
that have wall signage. Um, it

712
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,769
would increase to 100% coverage

713
00:22:41,769 --> 00:22:43,604
of the glazed area of every

714
00:22:43,604 --> 00:22:45,873
window and door on all sides of

715
00:22:45,873 --> 00:22:47,975
the building. Um, and as a side

716
00:22:47,975 --> 00:22:49,843
note, the d2 district is

717
00:22:49,843 --> 00:22:52,246
already regulated in the same

718
00:22:52,246 --> 00:22:54,181
as all other nonresidential

719
00:22:54,181 --> 00:22:56,484
districts for windows, signage.

720
00:22:56,484 --> 00:22:58,118
Um, below is the current

721
00:22:58,118 --> 00:23:01,118
standards, as you see scratched

722
00:23:01,289 --> 00:23:02,790
out, uh, 50% of the cumulative

723
00:23:02,790 --> 00:23:04,992
square footage of the glazed

724
00:23:04,992 --> 00:23:07,992
area. Um, that would increase

725
00:23:09,197 --> 00:23:10,464
to 100%. Um, and we would take

726
00:23:10,464 --> 00:23:12,200
away, as it says, down there

727
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,301
below, shall not exceed the

728
00:23:14,301 --> 00:23:16,438
square footage of an installed

729
00:23:16,438 --> 00:23:17,238
wall sign. And what that really

730
00:23:17,238 --> 00:23:17,805
means is if there

731
00:23:17,805 --> 00:23:20,205
s a wall sign

732
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:23,100
up there smaller, then what is

733
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:24,779
allowed for the glazed area.

734
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:26,647
Then you would have to stick

735
00:23:26,647 --> 00:23:29,184
with the signage size of the

736
00:23:29,184 --> 00:23:30,251
wall sign instead of the. So we

737
00:23:30,251 --> 00:23:32,353
were removed. Both of those

738
00:23:32,353 --> 00:23:35,353
standards and increase it to

739
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:37,623
100%. Coverage. Our last

740
00:23:39,727 --> 00:23:41,596
example um, and this example,

741
00:23:41,596 --> 00:23:43,698
we removed the five sign limit

742
00:23:43,698 --> 00:23:46,698
for building mounted signs per

743
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:49,570
building or tenant space. Allow

744
00:23:49,570 --> 00:23:51,705
full wall coverage of all

745
00:23:51,705 --> 00:23:53,608
building walls. So basically a

746
00:23:53,608 --> 00:23:55,643
wall wrap, whether it was one

747
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:57,545
big sign encompassing the whole

748
00:23:57,545 --> 00:23:59,147
side of the building or or a

749
00:23:59,147 --> 00:24:02,830
wall of the building, uh, or

750
00:24:02,830 --> 00:24:03,151
multiple signs, um, on any one

751
00:24:03,151 --> 00:24:05,153
side or all sides of the

752
00:24:05,153 --> 00:24:07,188
building. And the only

753
00:24:07,188 --> 00:24:08,556
regulating um requirement would

754
00:24:08,556 --> 00:24:10,124
be that they would be they

755
00:24:10,124 --> 00:24:11,592
would be required to have a

756
00:24:11,592 --> 00:24:15,192
sign permit for any sign that

757
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:22,433
they did place on the building.

758
00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:23,872
The recommendations on JULY

759
00:24:23,872 --> 00:24:25,807
21st, uh, the Planning

760
00:24:25,807 --> 00:24:27,909
Commission met and voted five

761
00:24:27,909 --> 00:24:30,909
zero to recommend the City

762
00:24:30,979 --> 00:24:32,914
Council approve example and c

763
00:24:32,914 --> 00:24:34,849
as presented below is the

764
00:24:34,849 --> 00:24:38,860
example b as we showed in the

765
00:24:38,860 --> 00:24:40,589
first slide. An example c, um,

00:26:18,955 --> 00:26:22,555
Pleasure to be with you here

00:26:26,562 --> 00:26:26,996
tonight.

814
00:26:26,996 --> 00:26:27,262

00:26:30,133 --> 00:26:31,601
pdf. I got it now, I did that,

819
00:26:31,601 --> 00:26:35,201

821
00:26:37,873 --> 00:26:38,700
so you have before you. We

822
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:39,175

00:26:39,175 --> 00:26:40,943
happy to be back again with

824
00:26:40,943 --> 00:26:42,946
another applicant for the Candu

825
00:26:42,946 --> 00:26:44,946
performance financing program.

826
00:26:45,148 --> 00:26:45,915
Uh, tonight we have one project

827
00:26:45,915 --> 00:26:46,820
in front of you, but I think

828
00:26:46,820 --> 00:26:46,916
it

829
00:26:46,916 --> 00:26:47,250
s a really great one, the

830
00:26:47,250 --> 00:26:47,617
one that we

831
00:26:47,617 --> 00:26:49,252
ve been working

832
00:26:49,252 --> 00:26:51,530
with for some time. As you MAY

833
00:26:51,530 --> 00:26:52,121
recall, this program was

834
00:26:52,121 --> 00:26:52,354
developed to advance city

835
00:26:52,354 --> 00:26:53,522
s

836
00:26:53,522 --> 00:26:55,692
goal of increasing the number

837
00:26:55,692 --> 00:26:57,961
and diversity of local vendors

838
00:26:57,961 --> 00:26:59,729
available to you and

839
00:26:59,729 --> 00:27:00,797
institutional, uh, uh,

840
00:27:00,797 --> 00:27:02,498
institutions here in the

841
00:27:02,498 --> 00:27:04,133
community. Importantly, it is

842
00:27:04,133 --> 00:27:05,468
designed to address the typical

843
00:27:05,468 --> 00:27:07,360
barriers that keep small

844
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:08,710
companies from growing,

845
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:09,505
especially those in low and

846
00:27:09,505 --> 00:27:11,240
moderate income communities.

847
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,209
And it overcomes the hurdles of

848
00:27:12,209 --> 00:27:12,375
traditional lending. It

849
00:27:12,375 --> 00:27:14,375
s

850
00:27:15,277 --> 00:27:16,145
administered by the 501 c3, and

851
00:27:16,145 --> 00:27:17,347
we have a number of partners

852
00:27:17,347 --> 00:27:18,481
that have worked with us

853
00:27:18,481 --> 00:27:18,648
throughout this process, and

854
00:27:18,648 --> 00:27:20,149
we

855
00:27:20,149 --> 00:27:22,118
ll continue to. We launched

856
00:27:22,118 --> 00:27:23,620
with $5 million, 2.5 million

857
00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:25,288
from the city, 2.5 million from

858
00:27:25,288 --> 00:27:27,490
the state, and job creating

859
00:27:27,490 --> 00:27:29,959
businesses can apply for up to

860
00:27:29,959 --> 00:27:31,427
$750,000 worth of funding. Uh,

861
00:27:31,427 --> 00:27:32,940
I would say today a good time

862
00:27:32,940 --> 00:27:33,229
to say now

863
00:27:33,229 --> 00:27:35,399
s a great time to

864
00:27:35,399 --> 00:27:37,366
apply. Uh, go to, uh, can do

865
00:27:37,366 --> 00:27:37,634
carolina.Com and you can, uh,

866
00:27:37,634 --> 00:27:37,834
and we

867
00:27:37,834 --> 00:27:38,435
ll, we

868
00:27:38,435 --> 00:27:39,235
ll share the link

869
00:27:39,235 --> 00:27:39,436
in a moment there. But we

870
00:27:39,436 --> 00:27:40,870
ll be

871
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:41,871
making a push to encourage

872
00:27:41,871 --> 00:27:43,306
people to apply for our next

873
00:27:43,306 --> 00:27:44,775
round of funding. But if the

874
00:27:44,775 --> 00:27:46,776
company creates the required

875
00:27:46,776 --> 00:27:48,378
jobs, the funds are treated as

876
00:27:48,378 --> 00:27:48,545
a forgivable loan, meaning they

877
00:27:48,545 --> 00:27:49,745
don

878
00:27:49,745 --> 00:27:50,647
t accrue interest. And they

879
00:27:50,647 --> 00:27:52,916
t company move forward

880
00:27:52,916 --> 00:27:54,684
and grow. We had 29 unique

881
00:27:54,684 --> 00:27:56,452
businesses apply, uh, working

882
00:27:56,452 --> 00:27:58,288
through those. We had 17

883
00:27:58,288 --> 00:28:00,900
candidates that were within the

884
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:02,458
qualified areas or qualified as

885
00:28:02,458 --> 00:28:03,460
into the type of business they

886
00:28:03,460 --> 00:28:04,600
were. Even though we can

887
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:04,861
t fund

888
00:28:04,861 --> 00:28:06,563
non-profits, a lot of

889
00:28:06,563 --> 00:28:07,664
non-profits ask, uh, seven

890
00:28:07,664 --> 00:28:09,499
projects were submitted to the

891
00:28:09,499 --> 00:28:11,234
investment committee. Uh, six

892
00:28:11,234 --> 00:28:11,534
of those went forward with one,

893
00:28:11,534 --> 00:28:13,690
I think we

894
00:28:13,690 --> 00:28:14,271
re, uh, to seed our

895
00:28:14,271 --> 00:28:15,772
partner for reviewing of the

896
00:28:15,772 --> 00:28:16,907
financial due diligence. And we

897
00:28:16,907 --> 00:28:18,708
had one project that met the

898
00:28:18,708 --> 00:28:20,610
scoring criteria for this round

899
00:28:20,610 --> 00:28:22,145
of funding. Uh, just as a

900
00:28:22,145 --> 00:28:23,513
reminder, the air is in blue

901
00:28:23,513 --> 00:28:24,214
and it does change and has

902
00:28:24,214 --> 00:28:24,947

903
00:28:24,947 --> 00:28:26,850

906
00:28:30,521 --> 00:28:31,989

are yellow to moderate income

908
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,561

909
00:28:37,561 --> 00:28:40,630

00:31:38,243 --> 00:31:38,910

1013
00:31:38,910 --> 00:31:40,910

Thank you sir.

1015
00:31:41,813 --> 00:31:42,947
Yeah.

00:31:42,947 --> 00:31:43,181
Thank you. Thank you. And I

1017
00:31:43,181 --> 00:31:43,448

00:31:43,448 --> 00:31:44,182
sure he

1019
00:31:44,182 --> 00:31:46,218
s happy to answer any

1020
00:31:46,218 --> 00:31:47,485
questions either now or, uh,

1021
00:31:47,485 --> 00:31:47,819
during or after the public

1022
00:31:47,819 --> 00:31:49,320
hearing that

1023
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,455
s required. Uh, we

1024
00:31:50,455 --> 00:31:51,589
do respectfully request that

1025
00:31:51,589 --> 00:31:52,891
you approve these funds. I

1026
00:31:52,891 --> 00:31:55,291
think importantly for folks,

1027
00:31:56,940 --> 00:31:57,295
these are to buy the items that

1028
00:31:57,295 --> 00:31:58,463
allow a company to grow that

1029
00:31:58,463 --> 00:32:00,565
typically would require a line

1030
00:32:00,565 --> 00:32:02,660
of credit or some sort of debt

1031
00:32:02,660 --> 00:32:03,836
instrument that adds interest

1032
00:32:03,836 --> 00:32:04,937
costs, makes it very hard to

1033
00:32:04,937 --> 00:32:06,400
purchase equipment, pay the

1034
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,773
debt, pay your people, do the

1035
00:32:07,773 --> 00:32:07,973
work and wait to get paid. And

1036
00:32:07,973 --> 00:32:08,874
that

1037
00:32:08,874 --> 00:32:10,409
s what the program is

1038
00:32:10,409 --> 00:32:12,110
designed to do to allow them to

1039
00:32:12,110 --> 00:32:14,246
get the assets they need to

1040
00:32:14,246 --> 00:32:15,380
grow. And for people looking

1041
00:32:15,380 --> 00:32:18,283
for more information they go to

1042
00:32:18,283 --> 00:32:19,885

00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:35,255
case, so should we know? I have

1147
00:34:35,255 --> 00:34:36,880
good faith in this project. And

1148
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:36,489
actually, in all of the

1149
00:34:36,489 --> 00:34:36,923
companies we

1150
00:34:36,923 --> 00:34:38,558
ve been working

1151
00:34:38,558 --> 00:34:40,930
with. But should someone try to

1152
00:34:40,930 --> 00:34:40,727
do something like sell our

1153
00:34:40,727 --> 00:34:41,161
vehicle, they wouldn

1154
00:34:41,161 --> 00:34:42,696
t be able

1155
00:34:42,696 --> 00:34:43,897
to do that without, uh,

1156
00:34:43,897 --> 00:34:44,831
without, you know, actually,

1157
00:34:44,831 --> 00:34:46,466
they would not be able to do

1158
00:34:46,466 --> 00:34:47,467
that legally. So we do the

1159
00:34:47,467 --> 00:34:48,702
right things. We can. But we

1160
00:34:48,702 --> 00:34:49,503
also know that these are small

1161
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:50,103
businesses. There

1162
00:34:50,103 --> 00:34:50,669
s risk

1163
00:34:50,669 --> 00:34:51,204
involved and they

1164
00:34:51,204 --> 00:34:52,638
re trying to

1165
00:34:52,638 --> 00:34:53,840
grow. But it is. We also work

1166
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,509
with seed. And then when

1167
00:34:55,509 --> 00:34:56,876
companies need training or

1168
00:34:56,876 --> 00:34:58,445
upskilling, we work with the

1169
00:34:58,445 --> 00:34:59,450
hub at fsu or applicants who

1170
00:34:59,450 --> 00:34:59,980
maybe aren

1171
00:34:59,980 --> 00:35:01,281
t ready yet. So we

1172
00:35:01,281 --> 00:35:02,348
do have a variety of different

1173
00:35:02,348 --> 00:35:02,748
partners throughout.

1174
00:35:02,748 --> 00:35:04,840
Great. I

1175
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:04,317
m glad to hear that

1176
00:35:04,317 --> 00:35:05,351
and I

1177
00:35:05,351 --> 00:35:06,419
m ready to vote. Mayor.

1178
00:35:06,419 --> 00:35:07,754
All right, I have a couple more

1179
00:35:07,754 --> 00:35:08,588
questions. Councilmember

1180
00:35:08,588 --> 00:35:09,990
McNair.

1181
00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:11,724
And I just wanted to say,

1182
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:14,270
before we vote to MISTER

1183
00:35:14,270 --> 00:35:16,270
Carlos, congratulations,

1184
00:35:16,162 --> 00:35:16,296
because you do have my vote and

1185
00:35:16,296 --> 00:35:17,564
I

1186
00:35:17,564 --> 00:35:18,898
m excited for you, you and

1187
00:35:18,898 --> 00:35:19,632
your new staff.

1188
00:35:19,632 --> 00:35:21,167
All right, all right.

1189
00:35:21,167 --> 00:35:22,535
You said we do have a team of

1190
00:35:22,535 --> 00:35:24,700
experienced financial

1191
00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:25,380
volunteers that sit on our

1192
00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:26,305
steering committee. And

1193
00:35:26,305 --> 00:35:27,907
Michelle Scott here is the one

1194
00:35:27,907 --> 00:35:29,750
that has to check off and sign

1195
00:35:29,750 --> 00:35:30,109
off on any piece of paper that

1196
00:35:30,109 --> 00:35:30,844
comes in before it gets

1197
00:35:30,844 --> 00:35:32,278
anywhere.

1198
00:35:32,278 --> 00:35:33,460
Yeah. All right. Councilmember

1199
00:35:33,460 --> 00:35:34,614
McMillan.

1200
00:35:34,614 --> 00:35:35,916
Yeah. Thank you, MR. Mayor.

1201
00:35:35,916 --> 00:35:37,384
Yeah. Encouraged by. This

1202
00:35:37,384 --> 00:35:38,819
program. I definitely want to

1203
00:35:38,819 --> 00:35:40,987
see a grow in more applicants.

1204
00:35:40,987 --> 00:35:42,356
Accepted. Uh, question for robo

1205
00:35:42,356 --> 00:35:43,256
and then a question for MISTER

1206
00:35:43,256 --> 00:35:43,923
Camden. Uh, I

1207
00:35:43,923 --> 00:35:45,759
ll go with MISTER

1208
00:35:45,759 --> 00:35:46,960
Camden first. How did you find

1209
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,228
out about this? Uh, this

1210
00:35:48,228 --> 00:35:49,229
program would encourage you to

1211
00:35:49,229 --> 00:35:49,863
apply, and then I

1212
00:35:49,863 --> 00:35:51,665
ll go ahead

1213
00:35:51,665 --> 00:35:53,100
and give you my my question.

1214
00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:53,800
Uh, robo, my question for you

1215
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,335
is just what

1216
00:35:55,335 --> 00:35:57,735
s the the most

1217
00:35:57,871 --> 00:35:59,673
common reason for denial for

1218
00:35:59,673 --> 00:36:01,673
applicants?

1219
00:36:01,775 --> 00:36:03,977
Well, uh, I was just searching

1220
00:36:03,977 --> 00:36:05,946
on the, uh, Fayetteville

1221
00:36:05,946 --> 00:36:06,246
website, and I found it. I

1222
00:36:06,246 --> 00:36:07,180
really didn

1223
00:36:07,180 --> 00:36:09,150
t understand what

1224
00:36:09,150 --> 00:36:09,182
it was. And then I think, I

1225
00:36:09,182 --> 00:36:10,117
don

1226
00:36:10,117 --> 00:36:12,286
t know if it was Shayla at

1227
00:36:12,286 --> 00:36:13,821
the time, but I reached out to

1228
00:36:13,821 --> 00:36:14,822
one of the, uh, the people in

1229
00:36:14,822 --> 00:36:16,957
the organization. They were

1230
00:36:16,957 --> 00:36:18,240
able to inform me. So. And then

1231
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:19,926
we just started filling out

1232
00:36:19,926 --> 00:36:20,995
paperwork and going through the

1233
00:36:20,995 --> 00:36:22,995
whole process.

1234
00:36:23,130 --> 00:36:23,564
Okay. Glad that you did. Thank

1235
00:36:23,564 --> 00:36:25,564
you.

1236
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:26,534
And I think today I would say

1237
00:36:26,534 --> 00:36:27,400
that, uh, it

1238
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,503
s not so much

1239
00:36:29,503 --> 00:36:29,837
denial as in, and this is

1240
00:36:29,837 --> 00:36:30,403
something we

1241
00:36:30,403 --> 00:36:31,405
re working really

1242
00:36:31,405 --> 00:36:32,339
hard on by identifying

1243
00:36:32,339 --> 00:36:33,974
businesses and sending out

1244
00:36:33,974 --> 00:36:34,975
mailers, now trying new ways to

1245
00:36:34,975 --> 00:36:36,430
get the word out. And we need

1246
00:36:36,430 --> 00:36:38,946
as much help as possible on

1247
00:36:38,946 --> 00:36:40,714
that. This fund is targeted for

1248
00:36:40,714 --> 00:36:42,490
small, existing businesses to

1249
00:36:42,490 --> 00:36:42,350
help them grow like you

1250
00:36:42,350 --> 00:36:43,484
ve got

1251
00:36:43,484 --> 00:36:43,784
right here, a person who

1252
00:36:43,784 --> 00:36:44,585
s got

1253
00:36:44,585 --> 00:36:45,720
full time, you know, working

1254
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:46,200
full time with the employees in

1255
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,121
that we

1256
00:36:47,121 --> 00:36:47,588
ve had, uh, I

1257
00:36:47,588 --> 00:36:47,989
d say the

1258
00:36:47,989 --> 00:36:48,388
challenge we

1259
00:36:48,388 --> 00:36:48,555
ve had is we

1260
00:36:48,555 --> 00:36:50,555
ve

1261
00:36:50,758 --> 00:36:51,910
had a large number of people

1262
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:52,393
that haven

1263
00:36:52,393 --> 00:36:53,794
t yet really gotten

1264
00:36:53,794 --> 00:36:53,928
started and set up. So we

1265
00:36:53,928 --> 00:36:55,429
ve

1266
00:36:55,429 --> 00:36:57,732
been working to try to get them

1267
00:36:57,732 --> 00:36:59,466
the tools they need to become a

1268
00:36:59,466 --> 00:37:01,466
fully incorporated operating

1269
00:37:02,369 --> 00:37:04,380
business versus a secondary

1270
00:37:04,380 --> 00:37:04,204
contract work. And so that

1271
00:37:04,204 --> 00:37:05,500
s

1272
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:06,540
really been the challenge for

1273
00:37:06,540 --> 00:37:07,108
the vast majority of folks that

1274
00:37:07,108 --> 00:37:07,507
have come in. They haven

1275
00:37:07,507 --> 00:37:09,507
t been

1276
00:37:09,577 --> 00:37:10,812
ready yet. Uh, we have some

1277
00:37:10,812 --> 00:37:11,913
people that have come back and

1278
00:37:11,913 --> 00:37:13,714
been able to grow through that,

1279
00:37:13,714 --> 00:37:15,382
and others we feel very

1280
00:37:15,382 --> 00:37:16,684
confident they will be able to.

1281
00:37:16,684 --> 00:37:20,870
Sometimes they want to take a

1282
00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:20,321
step from step one to step 14,

1283
00:37:20,321 --> 00:37:21,550
and we

1284
00:37:21,550 --> 00:37:22,223
ve been working to try

1285
00:37:22,223 --> 00:37:24,592
to help them get into something

1286
00:37:24,592 --> 00:37:25,960
around step five and six before

1287
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,261
they come back. And, you know,

1288
00:37:27,261 --> 00:37:28,663
look for this bigger project.

1289
00:37:28,663 --> 00:37:29,663
So it takes a lot of time. But

1290
00:37:29,663 --> 00:37:30,998
also to the other side is we

1291
00:37:30,998 --> 00:37:33,167
have a lot of early, earlier

1292
00:37:33,167 --> 00:37:33,635
stage companies. I know I feel

1293
00:37:33,635 --> 00:37:34,836
confident there

1294
00:37:34,836 --> 00:37:36,370
s a lot of

1295
00:37:36,370 --> 00:37:37,438
businesses that are out there

1296
00:37:37,438 --> 00:37:38,907
doing the work every day and

1297
00:37:38,907 --> 00:37:39,840
are trying to keep up with

1298
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,775
everything they have to do to

1299
00:37:40,775 --> 00:37:40,975
keep their business going. That

1300
00:37:40,975 --> 00:37:42,210
haven

1301
00:37:42,210 --> 00:37:43,110
t yet heard about this. I

1302
00:37:43,110 --> 00:37:44,612
think your business is a

1303
00:37:44,612 --> 00:37:47,120
perfect example. Uh, even

1304
00:37:47,448 --> 00:37:48,349
business. How long now? Since

1305
00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:49,116
2019. So he

1306
00:37:49,116 --> 00:37:50,284
s a perfect fit for

1307
00:37:50,284 --> 00:37:50,451
this when it first came out.

1308
00:37:50,451 --> 00:37:51,185
N

1309
00:37:51,185 --> 00:37:52,620
t until the second

1310
00:37:52,620 --> 00:37:53,721
round where he was able to hear

1311
00:37:53,721 --> 00:37:54,622
about it. So I think, you know,

1312
00:37:54,622 --> 00:37:56,591
I think we just need to get the

1313
00:37:56,591 --> 00:37:57,825
word out to qualifying existing

1314
00:37:57,825 --> 00:37:59,660
businesses. We have other

1315
00:37:59,660 --> 00:38:00,995
programs for startups. We have

1316
00:38:00,995 --> 00:38:02,263
other grant programs for really

1317
00:38:02,263 --> 00:38:02,997
big companies. But this is

1318
00:38:02,997 --> 00:38:03,431
unique in the sense it

1319
00:38:03,431 --> 00:38:05,232
s for a

1320
00:38:05,232 --> 00:38:05,967
small existing business to help

1321
00:38:05,967 --> 00:38:07,402
them grow.

1322
00:38:07,402 --> 00:38:10,305
Right. Thank you. Thank you.

1323
00:38:10,305 --> 00:38:13,800
And, uh, MR. Godwin again, uh,

1324
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,675
good work. Very impressive. Um,

1325
00:38:14,675 --> 00:38:16,445
Robert, when we when we first

1326
00:38:16,445 --> 00:38:17,579
talked about this, it was a gap

1327
00:38:17,579 --> 00:38:18,647
that needed to be filled

1328
00:38:18,647 --> 00:38:19,146
because as you said, there

1329
00:38:19,146 --> 00:38:19,347
s

1330
00:38:19,347 --> 00:38:20,115
there

1331
00:38:20,115 --> 00:38:21,449
s something here,

1332
00:38:21,449 --> 00:38:22,451
regardless of what stage your

1333
00:38:22,451 --> 00:38:22,984
business in and if it

1334
00:38:22,984 --> 00:38:24,452

1335
00:38:24,452 --> 00:38:24,886
conceptual idea, you have the

1336
00:38:24,886 --> 00:38:25,320

1342
00:38:32,527 --> 00:38:34,629
that that people need when you

1343
00:38:34,629 --> 00:38:36,300
first start, then you have

1344
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:38,200
those who have been in business

1345
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:38,533
who learn the trade, but now

1346
00:38:38,533 --> 00:38:39,501
they they

1347
00:38:39,501 --> 00:38:41,403
re ready to grow and

1348
00:38:41,403 --> 00:38:43,238
scale, which is MISTER Godwin.

1349
00:38:43,238 --> 00:38:43,972
And then you have our community

1350
00:38:43,972 --> 00:38:44,172
development. So there

1351
00:38:44,172 --> 00:38:45,941
s

1352
00:38:45,941 --> 00:38:47,943
something along the way, uh,

1353
00:38:47,943 --> 00:38:49,477
regardless of what size your

1354
00:38:49,477 --> 00:38:50,645
business is that, that, uh,

1355
00:38:50,645 --> 00:38:52,847
some of these services in the

1356
00:38:52,847 --> 00:38:54,650
community that are available to

1357
00:38:54,650 --> 00:38:55,750
you, uh, again, we just want to

1358
00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:55,950
encourage people to apply.

1359
00:38:55,950 --> 00:38:57,752
There

1360
00:38:57,752 --> 00:38:58,953
s a success story for, I

1361
00:38:58,953 --> 00:39:01,890
think maybe the first one we

1362
00:39:01,890 --> 00:39:02,558
approved, uh, the local

1363
00:39:02,558 --> 00:39:03,725
contractor, she bought

1364
00:39:03,725 --> 00:39:05,127
additional equipment with it.

1365
00:39:05,127 --> 00:39:06,895
And now my understanding is she

1366
00:39:06,895 --> 00:39:07,796
just got recently awarded a $4

1367
00:39:07,796 --> 00:39:09,231
million contract.

1368
00:39:09,231 --> 00:39:10,365
The usda grant from the North

1369
00:39:10,365 --> 00:39:11,567
Carolina. Right. Going to be

1370
00:39:11,567 --> 00:39:14,690
able to grow up and have, uh,

1371
00:39:14,690 --> 00:39:15,570
16 employees. Now, uh, vast,

1372
00:39:15,570 --> 00:39:16,605
exceeding quickly exceeding

1373
00:39:16,605 --> 00:39:18,390
their job creation

1374
00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:19,608
expectations. And I have a

1375
00:39:19,608 --> 00:39:20,909
feeling, well, Carlos has five

1376
00:39:20,909 --> 00:39:21,109
years to get it because we

1377
00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:21,977
didn

1378
00:39:21,977 --> 00:39:23,812
t want it to be a burden

1379
00:39:23,812 --> 00:39:24,479
on compliance for the company.

1380
00:39:24,479 --> 00:39:25,470
I have no doubt he

1381
00:39:25,470 --> 00:39:26,214
s going to

1382
00:39:26,214 --> 00:39:26,614
meet those numbers much faster

1383
00:39:26,614 --> 00:39:28,283
than that.

1384
00:39:28,283 --> 00:39:28,450
So. Fantastic. Well, look, I

1385
00:39:28,450 --> 00:39:29,317
don

1386
00:39:29,317 --> 00:39:31,530
t want to delay this any

1387
00:39:31,530 --> 00:39:31,720
further. Council, COUNCILMAN

1388
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:33,222

1389
00:39:33,222 --> 00:39:35,990
Uh, what can you tell us when

1390
00:39:35,990 --> 00:39:37,920
the next cycle for applications

1391
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,920
can come in?

1392
00:39:39,628 --> 00:39:40,996
We if we get a large influx, we

1393
00:39:40,996 --> 00:39:42,998
tend to run as a group. But you

1394
00:39:42,998 --> 00:39:44,199
can apply any time. Okay. So

1395
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:44,500
and now is a perfect time

1396
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:45,400
because we

1397
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,902

1398
00:39:46,902 --> 00:39:47,870

1460
00:41:25,268 --> 00:41:26,870

1494
00:42:20,189 --> 00:42:22,189
Yeah, yeah.

1495
00:42:23,159 --> 00:42:26,159

1498
00:42:31,468 --> 00:42:32,936
increase from 2025, with APRIL

1499
00:42:32,936 --> 00:42:35,936

1500
00:42:37,507 --> 00:42:40,507
months. Uh, 4452 of those calls

1501
00:42:41,678 --> 00:42:44,780

1502
00:42:44,648 --> 00:42:46,648
false alarms, 1018 service

1503
00:42:47,651 --> 00:42:49,819

00:42:49,819 --> 00:42:51,488

1505
00:42:51,488 --> 00:42:54,240

1506
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:56,192

1507
00:42:56,192 --> 00:42:58,195

1508
00:42:58,195 --> 00:42:58,394

help you, uh, identify any

1513
00:43:08,572 --> 00:43:10,240
issues. Uh, the response times

1514
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:11,742
stay consistent with the total

1515
00:43:11,742 --> 00:43:13,743
response time average of seven

1516
00:43:13,743 --> 00:43:15,311
minutes and 31 seconds, which

1517
00:43:15,311 --> 00:43:17,247
is well under our eight minute

1518
00:43:17,247 --> 00:43:18,549
expectation. Uh, I want to give

1519
00:43:18,549 --> 00:43:20,116
special attention to the

1520
00:43:20,116 --> 00:43:22,152
decrease in alarm handling

1521
00:43:22,152 --> 00:43:23,954
time. Uh, we thank MISS Reid

1522
00:43:23,954 --> 00:43:25,689
and her staff for being very

1523
00:43:25,689 --> 00:43:27,458
efficient. Uh, calls are being

1524
00:43:27,458 --> 00:43:29,360
turned out of our 911 center.

1525
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,960
An average of one minute and

1526
00:43:33,363 --> 00:43:35,466
three seconds. And chief calls

1527
00:43:35,466 --> 00:43:37,234
are being turned out of our 911

1528
00:43:37,234 --> 00:43:40,834
center. And an average of one

1529
00:43:42,739 --> 00:43:44,174
minute and three seconds. Uh,

1530
00:43:44,174 --> 00:43:45,509
before we go any further on

1531
00:43:45,509 --> 00:43:47,110
statistics, I need to share

1532
00:43:47,110 --> 00:43:48,645
with you that the us Fire

1533
00:43:48,645 --> 00:43:50,470
Administration has changed how

1534
00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:51,982
we collect and report data as

1535
00:43:51,982 --> 00:43:54,180
the fire service, uh, what was

1536
00:43:54,180 --> 00:43:55,119
known as Infers, which is the

1537
00:43:55,119 --> 00:43:57,119
National Fire Incident

1538
00:43:57,254 --> 00:43:58,923
Reporting System, is now near

1539
00:43:58,923 --> 00:44:00,724
us, which is the National

1540
00:44:00,724 --> 00:44:02,559
Emergency Response Information

1541
00:44:02,559 --> 00:44:03,194
System. Say that three times

1542
00:44:03,194 --> 00:44:04,228
fast.

1543
00:44:04,228 --> 00:44:06,228
Mm.

1544
00:44:06,464 --> 00:44:09,800
Uh, this change took place in

1545
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,369
JANUARY of 26. So several areas

1546
00:44:11,369 --> 00:44:12,904
that we previously tracked are

1547
00:44:12,904 --> 00:44:14,271
no longer tracked and some have

1548
00:44:14,271 --> 00:44:15,873
been manipulated and some are

1549
00:44:15,873 --> 00:44:17,341
collected different. So for

1550
00:44:17,341 --> 00:44:17,508
about the next 2 or 3 quarters,

1551
00:44:17,508 --> 00:44:18,576
you

1552
00:44:18,576 --> 00:44:19,543
re going to see some things

1553
00:44:19,543 --> 00:44:19,710
that MAY be skewed. But I

1554
00:44:19,710 --> 00:44:21,710
ll

1555
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,515
try my best to, uh, to point

1556
00:44:24,515 --> 00:44:26,483
those out to you. All right, so

1557
00:44:26,483 --> 00:44:29,287
for our fire statistics, there

1558
00:44:29,287 --> 00:44:31,122
were 317 fire responses in the

1559
00:44:31,122 --> 00:44:33,122
second quarter. 68 those

1560
00:44:33,257 --> 00:44:35,459
were structure fires. 12 of

1561
00:44:35,459 --> 00:44:37,262
those started in the kitchen.

1562
00:44:37,262 --> 00:44:39,397
Sadly, there was one civilian

1563
00:44:39,397 --> 00:44:41,198
fire fatality and nine civilian

1564
00:44:41,198 --> 00:44:42,333
injuries. There were seven

1565
00:44:42,333 --> 00:44:44,333
firefighter injuries.

1566
00:44:44,335 --> 00:44:45,537
Thankfully, all minor sprains

1567
00:44:45,537 --> 00:44:48,537
and strains and things like

1568
00:44:48,540 --> 00:44:50,308
that. The percentage of fires

1569
00:44:50,308 --> 00:44:53,110
confined to the room of origin

1570
00:44:53,110 --> 00:44:55,647
is at 57%, which is one of the

1571
00:44:55,647 --> 00:44:57,815
things one of the changes, uh,

1572
00:44:57,815 --> 00:44:59,317
previously we would identify

1573
00:44:59,317 --> 00:45:02,353
fires as starting in the Room

1574
00:45:02,353 --> 00:45:04,289
of origin contained to the

1575
00:45:04,289 --> 00:45:05,823
building of origin, or did it

1576
00:45:05,823 --> 00:45:06,240
get to an exposure? Well,

1577
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:07,240
that

1578
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:10,240
s changed now. Now you

1579
00:45:12,764 --> 00:45:14,764
just report 25%, 50%, 75% or

1580
00:45:15,333 --> 00:45:16,668
100% loss. So that throws that

1581
00:45:16,668 --> 00:45:17,468
out. Um, what we

1582
00:45:17,468 --> 00:45:19,604
re going to do

1583
00:45:19,604 --> 00:45:20,372
from now on is, of the confined

1584
00:45:20,372 --> 00:45:20,739
room of origin. We

1585
00:45:20,739 --> 00:45:22,739
re going to

1586
00:45:23,608 --> 00:45:23,809
count in our 25% damage. Uh,

1587
00:45:23,809 --> 00:45:25,376
that

1588
00:45:25,376 --> 00:45:29,576
s the best way we can find

1589
00:45:30,581 --> 00:45:34,181
to track that. The dollar saved

1590
00:45:36,454 --> 00:45:38,623
ratio was at 94.33%. Uh, we had

1591
00:45:38,623 --> 00:45:40,580
a some significant fire losses

1592
00:45:40,580 --> 00:45:41,626
this quarter, which brought

1593
00:45:41,626 --> 00:45:45,226
that number down a little bit.

1594
00:45:45,229 --> 00:45:47,498
Uh, that was 2.2.68 1 million

1595
00:45:47,498 --> 00:45:48,533
in total fire loss. Um, six of

1596
00:45:48,533 --> 00:45:50,501
the structure fires were

1597
00:45:50,501 --> 00:45:52,204
intentionally set, and we had

1598
00:45:52,204 --> 00:45:54,406
three lithium ion battery

1599
00:45:54,406 --> 00:45:56,174
fires. Uh, we did use one of

1600
00:45:56,174 --> 00:45:57,776
our fire blankets. We had a

1601
00:45:57,776 --> 00:45:59,344
lithium ion battery fire in the

1602
00:45:59,344 --> 00:46:01,446
back of a tractor trailer. It

1603
00:46:01,446 --> 00:46:03,115
was a total of, uh, batteries

1604
00:46:03,115 --> 00:46:05,617
that were were taken off on us.

1605
00:46:05,617 --> 00:46:09,817
And we were we used our, uh,

1606
00:46:09,988 --> 00:46:12,570
our fire blanket. The top three

1607
00:46:12,570 --> 00:46:14,192
fire losses were the, uh, hotel

1608
00:46:14,192 --> 00:46:16,528
fire on Sycamore Dairy Road.

1609
00:46:16,528 --> 00:46:16,929
Uh, this picture is is awesome

1610
00:46:16,929 --> 00:46:17,729
to me, but I

1611
00:46:17,729 --> 00:46:18,897
m a fireman. It

1612
00:46:18,897 --> 00:46:20,465
probably scares the heck out of

1613
00:46:20,465 --> 00:46:21,933
a bunch of people, but one of

1614
00:46:21,933 --> 00:46:25,360
the occupants took this out of

1615
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,805
their window. Um, that morning,

1616
00:46:26,805 --> 00:46:28,473
uh, the second fire was a

1617
00:46:28,473 --> 00:46:29,975
residential fire on Adolphus

1618
00:46:29,975 --> 00:46:31,510
Road. And then we had a farm

1619
00:46:31,510 --> 00:46:34,446
equipment fire on Stony Point

1620
00:46:34,446 --> 00:46:35,681
Road. You

1621
00:46:35,681 --> 00:46:38,450
ll see a decrease in

1622
00:46:38,450 --> 00:46:39,718
ems calls. Um, this is also

1623
00:46:39,718 --> 00:46:40,919
another part of that near us

1624
00:46:40,919 --> 00:46:43,422
where some calls are now

1625
00:46:43,422 --> 00:46:45,822
reclassified as service calls.

1626
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:47,492
Uh, overdose responses and

1627
00:46:47,492 --> 00:46:49,492
Narcan administration continue

1628
00:46:51,963 --> 00:46:54,199
to trend down. Our hazmat team

1629
00:46:54,199 --> 00:46:56,368
had a busy as excuse me, had a

1630
00:46:56,368 --> 00:46:57,870
busy quarter. Um, natural gas

1631
00:46:57,870 --> 00:46:58,971
response has increased almost

1632
00:46:58,971 --> 00:47:00,205
triple. We don

1633
00:47:00,205 --> 00:47:02,400
t know why there

1634
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:02,207
was no smoking gun. Um, but

1635
00:47:02,207 --> 00:47:03,800
we

1636
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,244
re going to continue to

1637
00:47:05,244 --> 00:47:06,479
monitor that. And our hazmat

1638
00:47:06,479 --> 00:47:07,880
team is actually right now

1639
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,616
getting ready to go to Harnett

1640
00:47:10,616 --> 00:47:10,816
County, uh, for a Co call. So

1641
00:47:10,816 --> 00:47:11,350
they

1642
00:47:11,350 --> 00:47:12,217
re busy. They

1643
00:47:12,217 --> 00:47:14,217
re always

1644
00:47:15,870 --> 00:47:16,489
moving. Uh, moving on to our

1645
00:47:16,489 --> 00:47:18,889
most important pieces, our

1646
00:47:19,858 --> 00:47:21,494
human capital, our personnel.

1647
00:47:21,494 --> 00:47:23,362
We held our sixth annual women

1648
00:47:23,362 --> 00:47:24,830
in the fire service day. Uh,

1649
00:47:24,830 --> 00:47:26,131
this is when we invite women

1650
00:47:26,131 --> 00:47:27,700
interested in the fire service

1651
00:47:27,700 --> 00:47:29,868
to the training center. Uh,

1652
00:47:29,868 --> 00:47:31,703
they kick all the males out.

1653
00:47:31,703 --> 00:47:32,771
Our female officers and

1654
00:47:32,771 --> 00:47:33,905
firefighters are there to

1655
00:47:33,905 --> 00:47:35,400
answer their questions. They

1656
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:36,409
walk them through the physical

1657
00:47:36,409 --> 00:47:38,544
agility test, helped them with

1658
00:47:38,544 --> 00:47:39,745
interview skills, and basically

1659
00:47:39,745 --> 00:47:40,913
show them what it takes to be a

1660
00:47:40,913 --> 00:47:41,213
firefighter and what it

1661
00:47:41,213 --> 00:47:43,213
s all

1662
00:47:45,170 --> 00:47:46,418
about. It was actually a really

1663
00:47:46,418 --> 00:47:49,540
good quarter for us in regards

1664
00:47:49,540 --> 00:47:50,856
to separations. Uh, this chart

1665
00:47:50,856 --> 00:47:51,690
looks a little dramatic. Um,

1666
00:47:51,690 --> 00:47:53,659
bu only had two

1667
00:47:53,659 --> 00:47:56,590
resignations and one retirement

1668
00:47:56,996 --> 00:47:59,131
in the second quarter. At the

1669
00:47:59,131 --> 00:48:00,767
end of the quarter, we only had

1670
00:48:00,767 --> 00:48:01,700
one vacancy, which was a permit

1671
00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:03,535
technician and fire

1672
00:48:03,535 --> 00:48:05,137
inspections. We filled that,

1673
00:48:05,137 --> 00:48:06,472
but unfortunately, we are

1674
00:48:06,472 --> 00:48:09,342
starting to see an increase in

1675
00:48:09,342 --> 00:48:11,410
resignations over the summer.

1676
00:48:11,410 --> 00:48:12,911
Uh, our demographics remain

1677
00:48:12,911 --> 00:48:14,130
very similar to quarter one

1678
00:48:14,130 --> 00:48:14,413
simply because we didn

1679
00:48:14,413 --> 00:48:15,782
t lose

1680
00:48:15,782 --> 00:48:18,317
many people and we only hired

1681
00:48:18,317 --> 00:48:21,317
one inspector. Uh, we can

1682
00:48:21,488 --> 00:48:23,755
continue to currently be at 26%

1683
00:48:23,755 --> 00:48:25,755
underrepresented population.

1684
00:48:26,926 --> 00:48:28,694
Our staff completed over 32,000

1685
00:48:28,694 --> 00:48:32,198
hours of training in the second

1686
00:48:32,198 --> 00:48:32,599
quarter. Um, moving on into the

1687
00:48:32,599 --> 00:48:34,599
fire marshal

1688
00:48:35,234 --> 00:48:37,634
s office, our fire

1689
00:48:38,538 --> 00:48:40,538
inspectors completed 1038 new

1690
00:48:41,307 --> 00:48:43,707
plan reviews, did 323 new

1691
00:48:46,450 --> 00:48:48,450
construction inspections, 3471

1692
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,480
maintenance inspections, and

1693
00:48:50,917 --> 00:48:52,886
discovered 7242 fire code

1694
00:48:52,886 --> 00:48:54,354
violations. Luckily, most of

1695
00:48:54,354 --> 00:48:56,422
those are education and fixed

1696
00:48:56,422 --> 00:48:58,725
right there. Um, very few

1697
00:48:58,725 --> 00:49:00,893
require a fine or any kind of

1698
00:49:00,893 --> 00:49:03,293
additional action. Uh, we

1699
00:49:03,896 --> 00:49:06,296
issued 143 new certificate of

1700
00:49:06,299 --> 00:49:08,670
occupancies and distributed 106

1701
00:49:08,670 --> 00:49:10,670
educational flyers to

1702
00:49:10,570 --> 00:49:13,390
businesses. Here are the top

1703
00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:14,908
five fire code violations that

1704
00:49:14,908 --> 00:49:16,543
we find. Portable fire

1705
00:49:16,543 --> 00:49:18,678
extinguishers are still number

1706
00:49:18,678 --> 00:49:20,681

00:49:20,681 --> 00:49:23,681
wiring and hazards being number

1708
00:49:24,550 --> 00:49:26,419
two. And last but certainly not

1709
00:49:26,419 --> 00:49:29,419
least is our community risk

1710
00:49:30,390 --> 00:49:32,790
reduction folks. Uh, we

1711
00:49:35,195 --> 00:49:36,863
interacted with 9999 residents,

1712
00:49:36,863 --> 00:49:37,970
and I was like, really? You

1713
00:49:37,970 --> 00:49:38,164
couldn

1714
00:49:38,164 --> 00:49:40,667
t find one more person

1715
00:49:40,667 --> 00:49:41,868
to go talk to? But, uh, they

1716
00:49:41,868 --> 00:49:42,690
gave me the real number. So

1717
00:49:42,690 --> 00:49:43,470
that

1718
00:49:43,470 --> 00:49:47,670
s what it is. Uh, we were

1719
00:49:47,708 --> 00:49:49,420
at 104 community events, 392

1720
00:49:49,420 --> 00:49:51,442

00:49:54,681 --> 00:49:56,681

1729
00:50:12,699 --> 00:50:15,702

No, I think you said you said

1755
00:51:01,982 --> 00:51:04,850

fire inspections. Second

1762
00:51:15,730 --> 00:51:17,730
quarter. It

1763
00:51:18,565 --> 00:51:20,565
s got years 22, 24,

1764
00:51:23,370 --> 00:51:26,370
25 and 26. Yes, yes. So you

1765
00:51:26,607 --> 00:51:30,440
have a huge increase in fire

1766
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,312
code violations from 25 and 26.

1767
00:51:32,312 --> 00:51:35,312
It doubled. Why is that?

1768
00:51:37,251 --> 00:51:38,486
Our inspections doubled. Um, if

1769
00:51:38,486 --> 00:51:40,187
you look at the new

1770
00:51:40,187 --> 00:51:41,455
construction inspections, none

1771
00:51:41,455 --> 00:51:41,656
of those were reported. We

1772
00:51:41,656 --> 00:51:43,656
didn

1773
00:51:43,691 --> 00:51:45,326
t do them in 24 and 25.

1774
00:51:45,326 --> 00:51:47,495
And our plans reviews have

1775
00:51:47,495 --> 00:51:49,663
almost doubled as well. Um, due

1776
00:51:49,663 --> 00:51:51,299
to the additional staff, um,

1777
00:51:51,299 --> 00:51:52,700
and a lot of those are found in

1778
00:51:52,700 --> 00:51:52,901
the new plans reviews when

1779
00:51:52,901 --> 00:51:54,335
they

1780
00:51:54,335 --> 00:51:56,271
re going through the, the

1781
00:51:56,271 --> 00:51:59,106
reviews and they say, hey, with

1782
00:51:59,106 --> 00:52:01,442
this, you need a riser here or

1783
00:52:01,442 --> 00:52:04,345
something over here that counts

1784
00:52:04,345 --> 00:52:04,846
as a violation. Really? Yes,

1785
00:52:04,846 --> 00:52:05,847
sir. It

1786
00:52:05,847 --> 00:52:07,480
s just because it has

1787
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,283
to be noted. But it

1788
00:52:08,283 --> 00:52:08,449
s no, it

1789
00:52:08,449 --> 00:52:10,449
s,

1790
00:52:10,485 --> 00:52:11,719
you know, people and education.

1791
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,119
Oh yeah. The maintenance

1792
00:52:16,570 --> 00:52:17,580
inspections are the 3471. Those

1793
00:52:17,580 --> 00:52:19,260
are the ones that are on the

1794
00:52:19,260 --> 00:52:21,195
three, four and five year cycle

1795
00:52:21,195 --> 00:52:22,663
where we go into the, uh, the

1796
00:52:22,663 --> 00:52:23,531
business and, and get them

1797
00:52:23,531 --> 00:52:24,198
squared away.

1798
00:52:24,198 --> 00:52:25,767
Okay.

1799
00:52:25,767 --> 00:52:27,201
All right. Council member, uh,

1800
00:52:27,201 --> 00:52:28,235
Jones and then mayor pro tem.

1801
00:52:28,235 --> 00:52:29,303
Thank you, MR. Mayor.

1802
00:52:29,303 --> 00:52:31,139
Uh, first, thank you all for

1803
00:52:31,139 --> 00:52:32,840
what you do. Um, was able to

1804
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,750
attend some of the car safety

1805
00:52:34,750 --> 00:52:35,276
events that you partnering with

1806
00:52:35,276 --> 00:52:36,911
the state and others with. You

1807
00:52:36,911 --> 00:52:39,180
all do a good job. I just

1808
00:52:39,180 --> 00:52:40,248
appreciated the engagement that

1809
00:52:40,248 --> 00:52:41,983
you have with the community,

1810
00:52:41,983 --> 00:52:43,180
how responsive they were. And I

1811
00:52:43,180 --> 00:52:44,419
think a lot of them were

1812
00:52:44,419 --> 00:52:46,287
surprised. They were like, oh,

1813
00:52:46,287 --> 00:52:47,655
the fire department is out

1814
00:52:47,655 --> 00:52:48,657
here. So you are doing a lot of

1815
00:52:48,657 --> 00:52:49,557
things. So I run a really,

1816
00:52:49,557 --> 00:52:51,250
really thank you all in the

1817
00:52:51,250 --> 00:52:52,927
community is really, really,

1818
00:52:52,927 --> 00:52:54,195
uh, appreciative of you. Uh, my

1819
00:52:54,195 --> 00:52:55,797
question is quick now, maybe

1820
00:52:55,797 --> 00:52:57,366
premature asking this. If so,

1821
00:52:57,366 --> 00:52:59,367
you can just say so and we get

1822
00:52:59,367 --> 00:52:59,868
it. Um, later in the year. Uh,

1823
00:52:59,868 --> 00:53:00,602
I see you

1824
00:53:00,602 --> 00:53:02,403
re doing a good job

1825
00:53:02,403 --> 00:53:04,406
with your staffing and your

1826
00:53:04,406 --> 00:53:06,474
retention, um, as well. And I

1827
00:53:06,474 --> 00:53:08,276
know you mentioned some things,

1828
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:11,179
uh, at this moment, what are

1829
00:53:11,179 --> 00:53:13,982
your plans or what is in place

1830
00:53:13,982 --> 00:53:16,982
to, uh, address the over

1831
00:53:17,185 --> 00:53:17,986
higher, uh, situation?

1832
00:53:17,986 --> 00:53:19,187
Um, we

1833
00:53:19,187 --> 00:53:21,290
ve been working with,

1834
00:53:21,290 --> 00:53:23,240
uh, budget, and we think we

1835
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:23,225
have a solution. Um, we

1836
00:53:23,225 --> 00:53:23,926
re

1837
00:53:23,926 --> 00:53:24,425
going to we

1838
00:53:24,425 --> 00:53:24,593
re moving. We

1839
00:53:24,593 --> 00:53:25,994
re

1840
00:53:25,994 --> 00:53:28,394
actually moving forward with

1841
00:53:30,832 --> 00:53:32,700
our second, um, class of 2026

1842
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:32,935
that will start in SEPTEMBER.

1843
00:53:32,935 --> 00:53:34,103
Uh, we

1844
00:53:34,103 --> 00:53:35,770
re going to on board the

1845
00:53:35,770 --> 00:53:36,370
over hires. Um, and we

1846
00:53:36,370 --> 00:53:37,305
re going

1847
00:53:37,305 --> 00:53:39,207
to work closely with budget to

1848
00:53:39,207 --> 00:53:40,375
make sure, um, we can handle

1849
00:53:40,375 --> 00:53:40,709
that because we

1850
00:53:40,709 --> 00:53:41,743
re, we

1851
00:53:41,743 --> 00:53:43,479
re, um,

1852
00:53:43,479 --> 00:53:45,879
realizing some vacancies and

1853
00:53:46,415 --> 00:53:47,950
some coming. Um, or

1854
00:53:47,950 --> 00:53:48,283
retirements. So they

1855
00:53:48,283 --> 00:53:48,584
re going

1856
00:53:48,584 --> 00:53:49,217
to they

1857
00:53:49,217 --> 00:53:51,286
re going to flush

1858
00:53:51,286 --> 00:53:52,988
themselves out. The the concern

1859
00:53:52,988 --> 00:53:56,588
we have is probably for the,

1860
00:53:57,580 --> 00:53:58,727
um, first class of 2027, um, we

1861
00:53:58,727 --> 00:53:59,795
MAY not be able to to bring the

1862
00:53:59,795 --> 00:54:00,795
over higher zone. It just

1863
00:54:00,795 --> 00:54:01,896
depends on what the numbers

1864
00:54:01,896 --> 00:54:02,565
look like.

1865
00:54:02,565 --> 00:54:04,330
Okay.

1866
00:54:04,330 --> 00:54:05,200
Okay. Understood. I think we

1867
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:05,968
can address that at that time.

1868
00:54:05,968 --> 00:54:06,268
Thank you so much.

1869
00:54:06,268 --> 00:54:06,935
Thank you.

1870
00:54:06,935 --> 00:54:08,300
All right. Mayor Pro.

1871
00:54:08,300 --> 00:54:08,437
Tem.

1872
00:54:08,437 --> 00:54:09,538
Uh.

1873
00:54:09,538 --> 00:54:09,771
Just to piggyback.

1874
00:54:09,771 --> 00:54:11,673
Off of.

1875
00:54:11,673 --> 00:54:14,242
What my colleagues said about

1876
00:54:14,242 --> 00:54:15,877
the partnership with state, uh,

1877
00:54:15,877 --> 00:54:16,311
community Services, I went out

1878
00:54:16,311 --> 00:54:18,311
there.

1879
00:54:19,214 --> 00:54:22,814
And seen one of your events

1880
00:54:22,951 --> 00:54:24,853
about the child car seats and a

1881
00:54:24,853 --> 00:54:26,655
grandpa and a papa like me did

1882
00:54:26,655 --> 00:54:27,756
not realize that the car seat

1883
00:54:27,756 --> 00:54:29,624
that I had installed was

1884
00:54:29,624 --> 00:54:30,259
installed. Wrong.

1885
00:54:30,259 --> 00:54:30,593
Papa.

1886
00:54:30,593 --> 00:54:31,893
So I

1887
00:54:31,893 --> 00:54:33,162
m glad thatent out to

1888
00:54:33,162 --> 00:54:33,395
that event. And I don

1889
00:54:33,395 --> 00:54:34,630
t know

1890
00:54:34,630 --> 00:54:35,498
who the young lady was, but she

1891
00:54:35,498 --> 00:54:38,233
corrected me. How do you get

1892
00:54:38,233 --> 00:54:40,200
that information out? Because I

1893
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,404
had asked, uh, Shakeshaft a few

1894
00:54:42,404 --> 00:54:43,872
questions about why that, uh,

1895
00:54:43,872 --> 00:54:45,700
exercise only lasted a couple

1896
00:54:45,700 --> 00:54:45,207
of hours. And how come we

1897
00:54:45,207 --> 00:54:47,207
didn

1898
00:54:47,843 --> 00:54:48,430
t publicize that? More? So

1899
00:54:48,430 --> 00:54:49,846
Papa

1900
00:54:49,846 --> 00:54:51,180
s like me around the city

1901
00:54:51,180 --> 00:54:52,815
can take their cars and get

1902
00:54:52,815 --> 00:54:53,115
them inspected for the child

1903
00:54:53,115 --> 00:54:53,682
seats that

1904
00:54:53,682 --> 00:54:54,383
s carrying their

1905
00:54:54,383 --> 00:54:56,383
loved ones.

1906
00:54:56,485 --> 00:54:57,486
Well, I got the guy right here,

1907
00:54:57,486 --> 00:54:58,120
so he can, uh, I

1908
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,321
ll take the

1909
00:54:59,321 --> 00:55:01,457
beating if there is one, but he

1910
00:55:01,457 --> 00:55:03,250
can give you the information.

1911
00:55:03,250 --> 00:55:04,393
So that particular event that

1912
00:55:04,393 --> 00:55:06,262
you were at was part of

1913
00:55:06,262 --> 00:55:07,596
training new car seat techs. So

1914
00:55:07,596 --> 00:55:09,699
that class was a week long

1915
00:55:09,699 --> 00:55:11,600
class which included a two hour

1916
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,535
car seat checking station for

1917
00:55:13,535 --> 00:55:15,305
us to test our new techs at,

1918
00:55:15,305 --> 00:55:16,439
uh. However, there have been,

1919
00:55:16,439 --> 00:55:16,672
uh, since that day, there

1920
00:55:16,672 --> 00:55:18,400
s

1921
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,174
been three more events there

1922
00:55:19,174 --> 00:55:20,275
between the target parking lot

1923
00:55:20,275 --> 00:55:20,676
and the Harris Teeter parking

1924
00:55:20,676 --> 00:55:21,443
lot. They

1925
00:55:21,443 --> 00:55:22,678
re pushed out through

1926
00:55:22,678 --> 00:55:22,812
our social media, and they

1927
00:55:22,812 --> 00:55:23,446
re

1928
00:55:23,446 --> 00:55:23,880
pushed out through our

1929
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:24,547
partners. It

1930
00:55:24,547 --> 00:55:25,581
s not just the

1931
00:55:25,581 --> 00:55:26,715
Fayetteville Fire Department.

1932
00:55:26,715 --> 00:55:28,851
You have the North Carolina

1933
00:55:28,851 --> 00:55:29,218
Safe Kids coalition. Hope Mills

1934
00:55:29,218 --> 00:55:29,852
Fire Department

1935
00:55:29,852 --> 00:55:31,870
s been out to

1936
00:55:31,870 --> 00:55:31,954
help us. Uh, Fayetteville

1937
00:55:31,954 --> 00:55:32,388
police have been out there to

1938
00:55:32,388 --> 00:55:32,988
help us. So it

1939
00:55:32,988 --> 00:55:33,956
s pushed out

1940
00:55:33,956 --> 00:55:34,156
through all of our social

1941
00:55:34,156 --> 00:55:35,758
media

1942
00:55:35,758 --> 00:55:37,293
s Fort Bragg fire as

1943
00:55:37,293 --> 00:55:38,795
well. So all of our partners

1944
00:55:38,795 --> 00:55:40,430
are pushing out the flyers and

1945
00:55:40,430 --> 00:55:41,831
the info and the businesses.

1946
00:55:41,831 --> 00:55:43,232
Our local business community

1947
00:55:43,232 --> 00:55:44,233
between Target and Harris

1948
00:55:44,233 --> 00:55:45,468
Teeter and all these folks

1949
00:55:45,468 --> 00:55:46,703
stepping up to welcome us to

1950
00:55:46,703 --> 00:55:47,300
their properties. We

1951
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:47,770
re going

1952
00:55:47,770 --> 00:55:47,970
to meet the people where

1953
00:55:47,970 --> 00:55:49,605
they

1954
00:55:49,605 --> 00:55:51,107
re at. I can put it out on

1955
00:55:51,107 --> 00:55:51,308
social media all day long.

1956
00:55:51,308 --> 00:55:52,108
We

1957
00:55:52,108 --> 00:55:52,575
re going to go to where you

1958
00:55:52,575 --> 00:55:53,109
are, where you

1959
00:55:53,109 --> 00:55:53,543
re shopping with

1960
00:55:53,543 --> 00:55:53,876
your family. We

1961
00:55:53,876 --> 00:55:54,311
re going to

1962
00:55:54,311 --> 00:55:55,412
find you.

1963
00:55:55,412 --> 00:55:56,146
Great job, I appreciate that.

1964
00:55:56,146 --> 00:55:57,180
Thank you. Sir.

1965
00:55:57,180 --> 00:55:58,281
Uh, Chief Dave, one more

1966
00:55:58,281 --> 00:56:00,684
question. You talked about the

1967
00:56:00,684 --> 00:56:01,751
lithium battery blankets, I

1968
00:56:01,751 --> 00:56:03,453
believe when I first got on

1969
00:56:03,453 --> 00:56:04,920
council, you told me that they

1970
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,323
were mainly used for parking

1971
00:56:06,323 --> 00:56:07,690
decks, and I said you had three

1972
00:56:07,690 --> 00:56:10,226
of them being used for two

1973
00:56:10,226 --> 00:56:12,795
questions. Two parts. One. Does

1974
00:56:12,795 --> 00:56:14,297
every department have one boss?

1975
00:56:14,297 --> 00:56:16,599
Three questions. Two, do you

1976
00:56:16,599 --> 00:56:18,635
need more? And three, what do

1977
00:56:18,635 --> 00:56:20,837
you do when you have a

1978
00:56:20,837 --> 00:56:23,473
emergency and a blanket is not

1979
00:56:23,473 --> 00:56:24,440
available? Because. Because let

1980
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:24,975
me back up. Because I know the

1981
00:56:24,975 --> 00:56:25,608
phone that we

1982
00:56:25,608 --> 00:56:26,900
re supposed to

1983
00:56:26,900 --> 00:56:26,943
use, you can

1984
00:56:26,943 --> 00:56:27,343
t use anymore

1985
00:56:27,343 --> 00:56:28,412
because it

1986
00:56:28,412 --> 00:56:29,779
s hazardous from

1987
00:56:29,779 --> 00:56:31,415
that mistake.

1988
00:56:31,415 --> 00:56:32,749
Yeah. Well, we we continue to

1989
00:56:32,749 --> 00:56:35,149
learn about lithium ion

1990
00:56:35,318 --> 00:56:36,987
batteries every day. Um, I

1991
00:56:36,987 --> 00:56:37,854
think question one was where

1992
00:56:37,854 --> 00:56:39,256
are they? There

1993
00:56:39,256 --> 00:56:40,623
s one on every

1994
00:56:40,623 --> 00:56:42,425
other floor, in every parking

1995
00:56:42,425 --> 00:56:44,600
deck in the city to include the

1996
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:45,996
hospital. The hospital came on

1997
00:56:45,996 --> 00:56:46,195
and partnered with us, and

1998
00:56:46,195 --> 00:56:47,563
there

1999
00:56:47,563 --> 00:56:47,764
s one in every battalion

2000
00:56:47,764 --> 00:56:49,764
chief

2001
00:56:49,999 --> 00:56:52,168
s vehicle in the city.

2002
00:56:52,168 --> 00:56:54,304
Um, there are two big to go on.

2003
00:56:54,304 --> 00:56:56,106
Our regular fire trucks without

2004
00:56:56,106 --> 00:56:57,730
remodeling the whole truck. And

2005
00:56:57,730 --> 00:56:58,642
we know those things are

2006
00:56:58,642 --> 00:57:00,677
expensive enough as they are.

2007
00:57:00,677 --> 00:57:01,611
Um, so the battalion chief can

2008
00:57:01,611 --> 00:57:02,112
get to wherever they

2009
00:57:02,112 --> 00:57:04,112
re needed

2010
00:57:04,314 --> 00:57:07,351
really quick. And we have some

2011
00:57:07,351 --> 00:57:07,684
spare. So the the question is

2012
00:57:07,684 --> 00:57:08,685
we don

2013
00:57:08,685 --> 00:57:08,985
t need anymore right

2014
00:57:08,985 --> 00:57:10,620
now. We

2015
00:57:10,620 --> 00:57:11,155
re good. What was your

2016
00:57:11,155 --> 00:57:12,122
third part?

2017
00:57:12,122 --> 00:57:12,889
That was it. That was all full

2018
00:57:12,889 --> 00:57:13,623
up.

2019
00:57:13,623 --> 00:57:15,259
Okay.

2020
00:57:15,259 --> 00:57:15,458
Um, and we had used it. They

2021
00:57:15,458 --> 00:57:15,659
re

2022
00:57:15,659 --> 00:57:17,327
they

2023
00:57:17,327 --> 00:57:18,695
re multi-use. Um, they

2024
00:57:18,695 --> 00:57:21,131
were designed for a car fire.

2025
00:57:21,131 --> 00:57:24,731
My biggest concern, as we were

2026
00:57:25,702 --> 00:57:27,638
learning, um, battery vehicles

2027
00:57:27,638 --> 00:57:27,804
is when they start burning, you

2028
00:57:27,804 --> 00:57:29,506
can

2029
00:57:29,506 --> 00:57:32,175
t put them out in a timely

2030
00:57:32,175 --> 00:57:34,311
manner. And those concrete, um,

2031
00:57:34,311 --> 00:57:36,213
buildings, they do. You degrade

2032
00:57:36,213 --> 00:57:38,281
the concrete, they spall, you

2033
00:57:38,281 --> 00:57:40,617
can lose the building. So that

2034
00:57:40,617 --> 00:57:40,785
was the the first goal. But as

2035
00:57:40,785 --> 00:57:42,785
we

2036
00:57:43,119 --> 00:57:43,554
re learning and moving, um,

2037
00:57:43,554 --> 00:57:44,121
you know, we

2038
00:57:44,121 --> 00:57:44,522
re getting more

2039
00:57:44,522 --> 00:57:45,355
creative.

2040
00:57:45,355 --> 00:57:47,240
You just made me think of

2041
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:47,190
another question, chief. Uh, I

2042
00:57:47,190 --> 00:57:47,724
don

2043
00:57:47,724 --> 00:57:49,826
t know if you know the

2044
00:57:49,826 --> 00:57:52,763
answer or not, but a while ago,

2045
00:57:52,763 --> 00:57:53,930
it was a bomb threat, and I d that the police

2046
00:57:53,930 --> 00:57:56,400
department had to go through

2047
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,200
the county to get a sniffing

2048
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:58,703
dog. Well, I asked the police

2049
00:57:58,703 --> 00:57:58,902
department that question.

2050
00:57:58,902 --> 00:57:59,804
That

2051
00:57:59,804 --> 00:58:00,137
s okay. Yeah, yeah, my

2052
00:58:00,137 --> 00:58:00,471
dogs don

2053
00:58:00,471 --> 00:58:01,672
t sniff.

2054
00:58:01,672 --> 00:58:03,672
Yeah, I got.

2055
00:58:03,874 --> 00:58:04,608
They make people feel better.

2056
00:58:04,608 --> 00:58:05,676
Thank you. Chief.

2057
00:58:05,676 --> 00:58:06,376
All right.

2058
00:58:06,376 --> 00:58:06,911

00:59:18,783 --> 00:59:20,184
JANUARY through JUNE 30th of

2093
00:59:20,184 --> 00:59:23,784
this year. Hold on. Let me

2094
00:59:30,795 --> 00:59:30,929
find. There we go. As you

2095
00:59:30,929 --> 00:59:32,929

2096
00:59:33,631 --> 00:59:36,334

2097
00:59:36,334 --> 00:59:38,103
persons, um, crime, property

2098
00:59:38,103 --> 00:59:38,336
crimes, felony arrests. You

2099
00:59:38,336 --> 00:59:40,336
ll

2100
00:59:40,838 --> 00:59:42,730
see pretty much in terms of our

2101
00:59:42,730 --> 00:59:42,941
numbers, um.

2102
00:59:42,941 --> 00:59:43,441
Broken down.

2103
00:59:43,441 --> 00:59:44,409
See, the person

2104
00:59:44,409 --> 00:59:46,809
s crime is up

2105
00:59:47,780 --> 00:59:48,179
12. About 12%. I

2106
00:59:48,179 --> 00:59:50,147
ll show the

2107
00:59:50,147 --> 00:59:51,616
slides, um, that are coming

2108
00:59:51,616 --> 00:59:54,160
afterwards. That will explain

2109
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:55,453
where the increase is at. But

2110
00:59:55,453 --> 00:59:55,853
in all reference, you

2111
00:59:55,853 --> 00:59:57,388
ll see

2112
00:59:57,388 --> 00:59:59,391
that overall, our crime is

2113
00:59:59,391 --> 01:00:02,991
down, but we have an increase

2114
01:00:03,728 --> 01:00:05,296
of 97 incidents. And again, uh,

2115
01:00:05,296 --> 01:00:06,865
that will be explained on the

2116
01:00:06,865 --> 01:00:07,265
next slide here. Uh, you

2117
01:00:07,265 --> 01:00:09,330
ll see

2118
01:00:09,330 --> 01:00:09,667
our violent crime. You

2119
01:00:09,667 --> 01:00:11,667
ll see

2120
01:00:13,838 --> 01:00:15,838
for 2025 to 2026, we

2121
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,840
re at 54%

2122
01:00:18,376 --> 01:00:20,878
less in terms of our homicides

2123
01:00:20,878 --> 01:00:22,413
and victims, 46%.

2124
01:00:22,413 --> 01:00:22,847
So again, I want to make sure

2125
01:00:22,847 --> 01:00:24,847
to press her.

2126
01:00:26,170 --> 01:00:27,853
That, yes, 54% less. Um, in

2127
01:00:27,853 --> 01:00:30,853
terms of, uh, incidents and

2128
01:00:31,323 --> 01:00:33,723
also. 15, 46% in terms of

2129
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,895
victims of homicides. And then

2130
01:00:36,895 --> 01:00:39,498
also we have a 29% decrease

2131
01:00:39,498 --> 01:00:41,700
also on rape. And, uh, we

2132
01:00:41,700 --> 01:00:43,835
continue to, um, lower our

2133
01:00:43,835 --> 01:00:45,236
aggravated assault, but our

2134
01:00:45,236 --> 01:00:47,238
Achilles heel right now are the

2135
01:00:47,238 --> 01:00:50,800
simple assaults. Um, where you

2136
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,177
see here is about 18% out. And

2137
01:00:52,177 --> 01:00:53,211
then overall, you can look at

2138
01:00:53,211 --> 01:00:54,120
total persons. It

2139
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,120
s up about

2140
01:00:59,217 --> 01:01:01,587
12% across the board from 25 to

2141
01:01:01,587 --> 01:01:03,355
26. Here again it reiterates

2142
01:01:03,355 --> 01:01:05,157
our numbers regarding

2143
01:01:05,157 --> 01:01:05,757
homicides. Uh, one of the

2144
01:01:05,757 --> 01:01:07,192
things that we

2145
01:01:07,192 --> 01:01:09,592
d like to tout

2146
01:01:10,929 --> 01:01:13,265
in terms of the average, um,

2147
01:01:13,265 --> 01:01:16,265
solvency rate across the United

2148
01:01:16,902 --> 01:01:18,902
States, about1%. Fayetteville

2149
01:01:21,390 --> 01:01:23,439
Police Department has 100% of

2150
01:01:23,675 --> 01:01:24,376
our clearance, 100% clearance.

2151
01:01:24,376 --> 01:01:26,780
So we

2152
01:01:26,780 --> 01:01:27,880
re doing that unit is

2153
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,116
doing a phenomenal job in terms

2154
01:01:31,116 --> 01:01:33,185
of, um, solving these crimes in

2155
01:01:33,185 --> 01:01:36,785
terms of, um, those that have

2156
01:01:39,892 --> 01:01:41,660
been victimized. During our

2157
01:01:41,660 --> 01:01:41,827
aggravated assaults. Again,

2158
01:01:41,827 --> 01:01:42,828
you

2159
01:01:42,828 --> 01:01:44,596
ll see these numbers in

2160
01:01:44,596 --> 01:01:47,800
terms of where we are in these

2161
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,200
misdemeanors. But yet we have,

2162
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:50,336
um, 16% decrease where we

2163
01:01:50,336 --> 01:01:51,303
re

2164
01:01:51,303 --> 01:01:53,720
partnering with the Phoenix

2165
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:54,773
Center to provide a wraparound

2166
01:01:54,773 --> 01:01:56,375
service. We also have our

2167
01:01:56,375 --> 01:01:58,775
officers and detectives that

2168
01:01:58,911 --> 01:02:01,314
are do follow up, uh, to ensure

2169
01:02:01,314 --> 01:02:03,716
that those victims are will not

2170
01:02:03,716 --> 01:02:05,484
be a repeat in terms of being a

2171
01:02:05,484 --> 01:02:08,484
victimization in terms of the

2172
01:02:10,189 --> 01:02:12,324
domestic violence. As you see

2173
01:02:12,324 --> 01:02:15,324
here, our sound thinking or

2174
01:02:15,428 --> 01:02:17,730
ShotSpotter, where we had 213

2175
01:02:17,730 --> 01:02:19,431
alerts through this period with

2176
01:02:19,431 --> 01:02:21,831
eight guns recovered, eight

2177
01:02:23,535 --> 01:02:25,935
arrested and 317 shell casings

2178
01:02:29,409 --> 01:02:29,742
recovered. A property crimes.

2179
01:02:29,742 --> 01:02:30,843
As you

2180
01:02:30,843 --> 01:02:32,779
ll see, these numbers

2181
01:02:32,779 --> 01:02:34,647
are also impacted, especially

2182
01:02:34,647 --> 01:02:34,814
on our motor vehicle where

2183
01:02:34,814 --> 01:02:36,814
we

2184
01:02:37,617 --> 01:02:38,684
re down 23%. You

2185
01:02:38,684 --> 01:02:40,684
ll see we

2186
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,621
actually had a team that came

2187
01:02:42,621 --> 01:02:44,560
together with a task force to

2188
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,459
address when we were starting

2189
01:02:46,459 --> 01:02:47,694
to have a trend, and, uh, that

2190
01:02:47,694 --> 01:02:49,262
particular task force really

2191
01:02:49,262 --> 01:02:49,695
made an impact in our numbers.

2192
01:02:49,695 --> 01:02:50,563
So you

2193
01:02:50,563 --> 01:02:52,598
ll see that here

2194
01:02:52,598 --> 01:02:55,598
reflected on this slide. And

2195
01:02:56,969 --> 01:02:58,471
also our robbery down 21%. Uh,

2196
01:02:58,471 --> 01:03:01,700
you know, in terms of these

2197
01:03:01,700 --> 01:03:02,575
robberies, uh, when our patrol

2198
01:03:02,575 --> 01:03:04,343
arrived, we also have our

2199
01:03:04,343 --> 01:03:06,743
capers, our Crimes against

2200
01:03:06,913 --> 01:03:08,348
persons unit that also respond.

2201
01:03:08,348 --> 01:03:08,814
And so with that, they

2202
01:03:08,814 --> 01:03:10,814
re able

2203
01:03:11,117 --> 01:03:13,352
to come out there and track any

2204
01:03:13,352 --> 01:03:14,354
suspects, live as soon as you

2205
01:03:14,354 --> 01:03:14,554
know, when they get there, then

2206
01:03:14,554 --> 01:03:15,621
they

2207
01:03:15,621 --> 01:03:16,923
ll start, um,

2208
01:03:16,923 --> 01:03:18,624
investigating that particular

2209
01:03:18,624 --> 01:03:18,892
case. And many times they

2210
01:03:18,892 --> 01:03:20,560
re

2211
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,462
able to get and arrest those

2212
01:03:22,462 --> 01:03:24,970
suspects. So therefore, you all

2213
01:03:24,970 --> 01:03:24,330
know that many times it

2214
01:03:24,330 --> 01:03:25,798
s going

2215
01:03:25,798 --> 01:03:27,166
to be 1 or 2 individuals in the

2216
01:03:27,166 --> 01:03:28,969
city that are committing these

2217
01:03:28,969 --> 01:03:29,135
repeat robberies. So therefore

2218
01:03:29,135 --> 01:03:31,135
we

2219
01:03:31,271 --> 01:03:33,272
re being effective by by

2220
01:03:33,272 --> 01:03:33,473
utilizing our capers unit. And

2221
01:03:33,473 --> 01:03:34,340
they

2222
01:03:34,340 --> 01:03:37,940
re doing a great job as

2223
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,149
well. Next here is our juvenile

2224
01:03:43,149 --> 01:03:44,817
data. As you know, um, this is

2225
01:03:44,817 --> 01:03:45,952
across the nation but also

2226
01:03:45,952 --> 01:03:46,352
within our state. We

2227
01:03:46,352 --> 01:03:47,820
ve

2228
01:03:47,820 --> 01:03:49,756
received calls from other

2229
01:03:49,756 --> 01:03:49,923
chiefs, uh, in terms of what

2230
01:03:49,923 --> 01:03:51,724
we

2231
01:03:51,724 --> 01:03:51,892
re doing, uh, of course,

2232
01:03:51,892 --> 01:03:53,560
you

2233
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:54,270
ll see here the biggest

2234
01:03:54,270 --> 01:03:55,128
change that you

2235
01:03:55,128 --> 01:03:57,528
ll see in terms

2236
01:03:59,165 --> 01:04:01,000
from 25 to 26 is our field

2237
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:01,401
contacts with juveniles. It

2238
01:04:01,401 --> 01:04:03,401
s

2239
01:04:04,905 --> 01:04:05,104
up 43%. Now, you also see that

2240
01:04:05,104 --> 01:04:07,104
that

2241
01:04:07,874 --> 01:04:08,575
s reflective from 25 to 26

2242
01:04:08,575 --> 01:04:09,760
in terms of what we

2243
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:10,430
re doing

2244
01:04:10,430 --> 01:04:12,430
and seizing. We

2245
01:04:12,379 --> 01:04:14,379
re seizing 105%

2246
01:04:15,248 --> 01:04:17,851
more weapons. We seized um,

2247
01:04:17,851 --> 01:04:19,285
almost 70% more drugs from

2248
01:04:19,285 --> 01:04:21,655
juveniles. But at the same

2249
01:04:21,655 --> 01:04:23,223
time, you also decrease in

2250
01:04:23,223 --> 01:04:25,325
breaking and entering, uh,

2251
01:04:25,325 --> 01:04:27,725
among juveniles by 30, almost

2252
01:04:28,962 --> 01:04:30,497
32%. And also our motor vehicle

2253
01:04:30,497 --> 01:04:32,499
theft has really been impacted.

2254
01:04:32,499 --> 01:04:35,435
Also with this, uh, encounters

2255
01:04:35,435 --> 01:04:37,300
that we have now almost 52%

2256
01:04:37,300 --> 01:04:39,403
decrease in motor vehicle

2257
01:04:39,874 --> 01:04:41,675
thefts. So these are how we are

2258
01:04:41,675 --> 01:04:43,743
encountering and making an

2259
01:04:43,743 --> 01:04:46,746
impact in terms of, uh, crimes

2260
01:04:46,746 --> 01:04:49,746
with juveniles. Now, this slide

2261
01:04:51,510 --> 01:04:53,854
here illustrates the crimes and

2262
01:04:53,854 --> 01:04:55,789
contacts with uh juveniles

2263
01:04:55,789 --> 01:04:58,789
during the curfew time. Uh,

2264
01:04:59,593 --> 01:05:01,495
which is 11 A.M. Or 11 P.M. To

2265
01:05:01,495 --> 01:05:01,962
6 A.M.. And if you

2266
01:05:01,962 --> 01:05:02,395
re watching

2267
01:05:02,395 --> 01:05:02,863
and seeing what

2268
01:05:02,863 --> 01:05:03,864
s happening

2269
01:05:03,864 --> 01:05:05,132
with some of our other

2270
01:05:05,132 --> 01:05:05,465
municipalities, they

2271
01:05:05,465 --> 01:05:07,367
re

2272
01:05:07,367 --> 01:05:09,670
actually looking at, um,

2273
01:05:09,670 --> 01:05:11,305
changing their time from 11 or

2274
01:05:11,305 --> 01:05:13,774
looking at starting at early to

2275
01:05:13,774 --> 01:05:14,841
9 P.M.. So, but at this time,

2276
01:05:14,841 --> 01:05:17,177
we have right now where you

2277
01:05:17,177 --> 01:05:19,780
see, you have 38 contacts with

2278
01:05:19,780 --> 01:05:20,113
those 16 years in a and below,

2279
01:05:20,113 --> 01:05:21,849
where we

2280
01:05:21,849 --> 01:05:23,849
ve had 17 incidents

2281
01:05:24,284 --> 01:05:26,684
with 22, uh, incidents that

2282
01:05:26,721 --> 01:05:28,956
were charged, and 17 of these

2283
01:05:28,956 --> 01:05:29,223
are involving juveniles. And

2284
01:05:29,223 --> 01:05:31,910
then you

2285
01:05:31,910 --> 01:05:32,660
ll see the, uh,

2286
01:05:32,660 --> 01:05:33,761
reference to the the different

2287
01:05:33,761 --> 01:05:35,730
incidents that have taken

2288
01:05:35,730 --> 01:05:38,566
place. Now, we actually had a

2289
01:05:38,566 --> 01:05:40,966
total of 55 contacts during

2290
01:05:41,340 --> 01:05:42,869
this time period. But once we

2291
01:05:42,869 --> 01:05:44,371
engage with these individuals,

2292
01:05:44,371 --> 01:05:44,672
always be, you know, be aware

2293
01:05:44,672 --> 01:05:45,906
that we

2294
01:05:45,906 --> 01:05:47,709
re always utilizing

2295
01:05:47,709 --> 01:05:49,911
either a reasonable suspicion

2296
01:05:49,911 --> 01:05:51,245
or probable cause before we we

2297
01:05:51,245 --> 01:05:53,800
are engaging with these

2298
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:54,482
individuals. And, you know,

2299
01:05:54,482 --> 01:05:54,715
again, this is where I state

2300
01:05:54,715 --> 01:05:56,450
that we

2301
01:05:56,450 --> 01:05:58,850
re not approaching any

2302
01:05:58,850 --> 01:05:59,253
of these individuals just based

2303
01:05:59,253 --> 01:05:59,453
on because we think that

2304
01:05:59,453 --> 01:06:01,453
they

2305
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:03,324
re 16 or below. And just

2306
01:06:03,324 --> 01:06:04,525
to show that reflection, when

2307
01:06:04,525 --> 01:06:05,326
we do encounter some of these

2308
01:06:05,326 --> 01:06:06,527
individuals, we

2309
01:06:06,527 --> 01:06:08,927
ve had a total

2310
01:06:10,531 --> 01:06:12,900
of 55 and we had about ten of

2311
01:06:12,900 --> 01:06:15,135
them were 17 years of age. So

2312
01:06:15,135 --> 01:06:17,438
that was above. And also seven

2313
01:06:17,438 --> 01:06:19,640
were adults. So many times this

2314
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:19,908
kind of reflects, again, that

2315
01:06:19,908 --> 01:06:21,208
we can

2316
01:06:21,208 --> 01:06:23,177
t really tell what their

2317
01:06:23,177 --> 01:06:24,879
age is until we actually have

2318
01:06:24,879 --> 01:06:26,747
some type of reason to, you

2319
01:06:26,747 --> 01:06:28,315
know, engage with them, uh,

2320
01:06:28,315 --> 01:06:30,715
through reasonable suspicion or

2321
01:06:31,319 --> 01:06:32,190
probable cause. Here

2322
01:06:32,190 --> 01:06:34,190
s our

2323
01:06:34,622 --> 01:06:36,391
school resource program. As you

2324
01:06:36,391 --> 01:06:38,493
see, we have the 18 certified

2325
01:06:38,493 --> 01:06:40,661
SROs. Of course. Uh, today was

2326
01:06:40,661 --> 01:06:40,828
the first day of school. And so

2327
01:06:40,828 --> 01:06:41,663
we

2328
01:06:41,663 --> 01:06:43,865
re going to be up and

2329
01:06:43,865 --> 01:06:45,266
ramping up. And one, one change

2330
01:06:45,266 --> 01:06:45,433
is different in terms of how

2331
01:06:45,433 --> 01:06:47,235
we

2332
01:06:47,235 --> 01:06:47,569
re looking at our numbers.

2333
01:06:47,569 --> 01:06:49,337
Uh, you

2334
01:06:49,337 --> 01:06:49,637
ll see, uh, previous

2335
01:06:49,637 --> 01:06:51,637
year we

2336
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:52,874
ve done it as the

2337
01:06:52,874 --> 01:06:53,275
school year, but now we

2338
01:06:53,275 --> 01:06:54,342
re just

2339
01:06:54,342 --> 01:06:55,376
going to do it as a calendar

2340
01:06:55,376 --> 01:06:56,244
year just to keep it

2341
01:06:56,244 --> 01:06:56,578
consistent, because that

2342
01:06:56,578 --> 01:06:57,813
s how

2343
01:06:57,813 --> 01:06:59,247
we usually track all the rest

2344
01:06:59,247 --> 01:07:03,447
of our numbers. So we just want

2345
01:07:03,685 --> 01:07:05,119
to have that consistency.

2346
01:07:05,119 --> 01:07:06,755
Again, just this slide

2347
01:07:06,755 --> 01:07:08,755
demonstrates our partnership

2348
01:07:08,923 --> 01:07:09,424
with our federal partners. And

2349
01:07:09,424 --> 01:07:10,725
have you

2350
01:07:10,725 --> 01:07:10,892
ll see here our atf.

2351
01:07:10,892 --> 01:07:12,892
We

2352
01:07:13,270 --> 01:07:14,663
ve uh we had six federally

2353
01:07:14,663 --> 01:07:16,331
sentenced uh, during this

2354
01:07:16,331 --> 01:07:18,499
during this quarter, uh, four

2355
01:07:18,499 --> 01:07:20,468
federally indicted and 48

2356
01:07:20,468 --> 01:07:22,137
firearms seized. So with those

2357
01:07:22,137 --> 01:07:23,738
48 firearms seized, those are

2358
01:07:23,738 --> 01:07:24,572
all charged federally through

2359
01:07:24,572 --> 01:07:26,208
the atf.

2360
01:07:26,208 --> 01:07:26,575
And as you said, six federal

2361
01:07:26,575 --> 01:07:27,809
centers. I

2362
01:07:27,809 --> 01:07:29,809
m saying 13.

2363
01:07:29,978 --> 01:07:31,146
So six federally sentenced.

2364
01:07:31,146 --> 01:07:31,713
This is with atf.

2365
01:07:31,713 --> 01:07:33,648
Okay, okay.

2366
01:07:33,648 --> 01:07:35,783
This is specifically with atf.

2367
01:07:35,783 --> 01:07:38,386
Um, for federally indicted and

2368
01:07:38,386 --> 01:07:39,654
48 firearms charged federally.

2369
01:07:39,654 --> 01:07:41,823
And then between our federal

2370
01:07:41,823 --> 01:07:44,660
partners of dea, fbi, and the

2371
01:07:44,660 --> 01:07:47,620
us marshals, we, uh, sentenced

2372
01:07:47,620 --> 01:07:49,620
seven federally, 17 federally

2373
01:07:50,131 --> 01:07:52,531
indicted with 28 firearms and

2374
01:07:53,168 --> 01:07:54,602
nearly 600,000 in currency and

2375
01:07:54,602 --> 01:07:57,200
asset seized with those

2376
01:07:57,973 --> 01:07:58,740
partners. Here, you

2377
01:07:58,740 --> 01:08:00,740
ll see our,

2378
01:08:01,477 --> 01:08:02,644
uh, vice narcotics suppression

2379
01:08:02,644 --> 01:08:04,379
of of note. You

2380
01:08:04,379 --> 01:08:05,480
ll see, um,

2381
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:06,800
meth. Uh, we

2382
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:06,214
re we

2383
01:08:06,214 --> 01:08:07,716
re

2384
01:08:07,716 --> 01:08:10,716
definitely rising in terms of

2385
01:08:10,886 --> 01:08:12,654
seizures of meth. And also

2386
01:08:12,654 --> 01:08:15,540
marijuana. Uh, the marijuana

2387
01:08:15,190 --> 01:08:17,492
was, um, a result of a federal

2388
01:08:17,492 --> 01:08:19,194
case that we had with dea. So

2389
01:08:19,194 --> 01:08:20,862
therefore we had a pretty good

2390
01:08:20,862 --> 01:08:23,262
seizure from that particular

2391
01:08:23,365 --> 01:08:26,365
case, which also increased what

2392
01:08:27,202 --> 01:08:27,936
we had from 25 to 26. But

2393
01:08:27,936 --> 01:08:28,170
across the board, we

2394
01:08:28,170 --> 01:08:30,390
re

2395
01:08:30,390 --> 01:08:31,740
starting to see an increase in

2396
01:08:31,740 --> 01:08:34,740
meth across the community in

2397
01:08:35,377 --> 01:08:37,846
terms of usage. These are our

2398
01:08:37,846 --> 01:08:39,315
numbers here. Uh, for our 901

2399
01:08:39,315 --> 01:08:39,514
communications center. You

2400
01:08:39,514 --> 01:08:41,416
ll

2401
01:08:41,416 --> 01:08:42,284
see, uh, 911 calls. We

2402
01:08:42,284 --> 01:08:44,284
ve

2403
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,422
processed, uh, 125,000 plus

2404
01:08:47,422 --> 01:08:47,823
calls. And between that and our

2405
01:08:47,823 --> 01:08:48,824
admin, you

2406
01:08:48,824 --> 01:08:50,824
re almost pressing

2407
01:08:51,590 --> 01:08:52,394
up to a 200,000 calls. Calls

2408
01:08:52,394 --> 01:08:55,394
for service or dispatch is

2409
01:08:55,764 --> 01:08:57,333
about a, um, just over 103,000

2410
01:08:57,333 --> 01:08:58,670
calls. So, uh, we

2411
01:08:58,670 --> 01:08:59,835
re

2412
01:08:59,835 --> 01:09:01,835
continuously pushing forward

2413
01:09:05,274 --> 01:09:06,742
with our number one center. Uh,

2414
01:09:06,742 --> 01:09:07,410
one thing that we

2415
01:09:07,410 --> 01:09:09,410
ve been

2416
01:09:11,460 --> 01:09:12,948
having, uh, in terms of traffic

2417
01:09:12,948 --> 01:09:13,482
enforcement, and we

2418
01:09:13,482 --> 01:09:14,450
re hoping

2419
01:09:14,450 --> 01:09:15,851
that these numbers are being

2420
01:09:15,851 --> 01:09:17,719
reflective of what we are being

2421
01:09:17,719 --> 01:09:21,324
able to do in the community. So

2422
01:09:21,324 --> 01:09:22,825
if you see in 2025, we had 14

2423
01:09:22,825 --> 01:09:25,270
fatalities resulting in these

2424
01:09:25,270 --> 01:09:27,330
crashes, uh, and now we have

2425
01:09:27,330 --> 01:09:28,798
nine. And then as far as the,

2426
01:09:28,798 --> 01:09:30,566
the, uh, fatalities, the

2427
01:09:30,566 --> 01:09:32,835
numbers were 16 last year when

2428
01:09:32,835 --> 01:09:35,838
we have nine on there as well.

2429
01:09:35,838 --> 01:09:36,710
So I hope this is reflective of

2430
01:09:36,710 --> 01:09:37,390
what we

2431
01:09:37,390 --> 01:09:40,390
re doing in terms of

2432
01:09:40,376 --> 01:09:42,579
slowing traffic down and making

2433
01:09:42,579 --> 01:09:43,479
sure that, um, you know, those

2434
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:44,547
that are coming through here

2435
01:09:44,547 --> 01:09:45,147
understand that you need to

2436
01:09:45,147 --> 01:09:45,447
slow down when you

2437
01:09:45,447 --> 01:09:46,749
re coming

2438
01:09:46,749 --> 01:09:47,683
through the city of

2439
01:09:47,683 --> 01:09:48,150
Fayetteville. Then you

2440
01:09:48,150 --> 01:09:50,150
ll see

2441
01:09:50,352 --> 01:09:52,355
the, uh, the circumstances that

2442
01:09:52,355 --> 01:09:54,355
contributed, that contributed

2443
01:09:55,391 --> 01:09:58,391
to the, uh, these fatalities,

2444
01:09:58,994 --> 01:10:01,731
as you see there in 2025, ten

2445
01:10:01,731 --> 01:10:03,299
of them, ten of those incidents

2446
01:10:03,299 --> 01:10:05,367
were speeding that contributed

2447
01:10:05,367 --> 01:10:08,367
to those fatalities, uh, for

2448
01:10:09,105 --> 01:10:10,206
this year, we have five. So I

2449
01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:13,206
believe the message is getting

2450
01:10:13,743 --> 01:10:16,412
out there on here is our

2451
01:10:16,412 --> 01:10:17,446
traffic. Uh, stop reporting

2452
01:10:17,446 --> 01:10:18,414
where you see, we

2453
01:10:18,414 --> 01:10:20,414
re all almost

2454
01:10:22,585 --> 01:10:24,120
2500 stops. 23,400 more stops

2455
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:24,420
than last year. Again, that

2456
01:10:24,420 --> 01:10:25,621
s

2457
01:10:25,621 --> 01:10:25,789
with the increase of what we

2458
01:10:25,789 --> 01:10:27,789
re

2459
01:10:28,458 --> 01:10:28,624
doing. Also with our personnel.

2460
01:10:28,624 --> 01:10:29,692
We

2461
01:10:29,692 --> 01:10:31,694
re having more personnel on

2462
01:10:31,694 --> 01:10:33,563
the street so that we can be a

2463
01:10:33,563 --> 01:10:36,168
lot more proactive versus being

2464
01:10:36,168 --> 01:10:37,533
reactive. Again, you

2465
01:10:37,533 --> 01:10:39,533
ll see the

2466
01:10:39,535 --> 01:10:41,535
demographics regarding the

2467
01:10:41,637 --> 01:10:43,306
vehicle stops, vehicle searches

2468
01:10:43,306 --> 01:10:46,906
in between there. If you look

2469
01:10:46,909 --> 01:10:48,645
at 25 among all three of the

2470
01:10:48,645 --> 01:10:48,945
demographics, the numbers isn

2471
01:10:48,945 --> 01:10:50,614
t

2472
01:10:50,614 --> 01:10:52,382
really changing. Now what you

2473
01:10:52,382 --> 01:10:54,884
will see, uh, there was an

2474
01:10:54,884 --> 01:10:56,453
increase in, uh, vehicle stops,

2475
01:10:56,453 --> 01:10:59,590
but you also see that there was

2476
01:10:59,590 --> 01:11:01,257
a decrease in, in searches, but

2477
01:11:01,257 --> 01:11:03,159
we still have maintained the

2478
01:11:03,159 --> 01:11:04,927
same numbers across the board.

2479
01:11:04,927 --> 01:11:07,327
Uh, between all three

2480
01:11:13,603 --> 01:11:15,438
demographics. This is one of

2481
01:11:15,438 --> 01:11:15,972
our the, uh, initiatives

2482
01:11:15,972 --> 01:11:16,973
the governor

2483
01:11:16,973 --> 01:11:18,973
s highway safety

2484
01:11:19,109 --> 01:11:21,744
program, where speed kills and

2485
01:11:21,744 --> 01:11:24,744
no, the limit 2026 and these

2486
01:11:24,881 --> 01:11:26,516
particular, um, uh, traffic and

2487
01:11:26,516 --> 01:11:26,683
enforcement activities, you

2488
01:11:26,683 --> 01:11:28,683
ll

2489
01:11:28,885 --> 01:11:31,388
see that we, uh, had over 600

2490
01:11:31,388 --> 01:11:32,823
citations issued with, uh,

2491
01:11:32,823 --> 01:11:34,823
speeding being the

2492
01:11:36,759 --> 01:11:38,695
overwhelming, um, uh, citation,

2493
01:11:38,695 --> 01:11:40,397
uh, during or violation during

2494
01:11:40,397 --> 01:11:42,397
these particular, um,

2495
01:11:47,637 --> 01:11:49,573
encounters. Here we are, our

2496
01:11:49,573 --> 01:11:51,108
Internal Affairs unit, where

2497
01:11:51,108 --> 01:11:54,444
you look at our numbers, uh,

2498
01:11:54,444 --> 01:11:56,380
use of force, uh, has increased

2499
01:11:56,380 --> 01:11:56,980
by ten. Uh, but then you

2500
01:11:56,980 --> 01:11:58,449
ll see

2501
01:11:58,449 --> 01:11:58,648
the most number, the number

2502
01:11:58,648 --> 01:11:59,316
that

2503
01:11:59,316 --> 01:12:01,318
s going to stick out to

2504
01:12:01,318 --> 01:12:02,419
you right now is our internal

2505
01:12:02,419 --> 01:12:04,419
departmental, uh,

2506
01:12:04,487 --> 01:12:04,688
investigations. And, uh, that

2507
01:12:04,688 --> 01:12:06,688
s

2508
01:12:06,690 --> 01:12:08,224
been as a result of, uh,

2509
01:12:08,224 --> 01:12:09,593
officers not appearing at

2510
01:12:09,593 --> 01:12:10,294
court. So we

2511
01:12:10,294 --> 01:12:12,294
re holding our

2512
01:12:12,362 --> 01:12:12,529
officers accountable, and and

2513
01:12:12,529 --> 01:12:14,980
we

2514
01:12:14,980 --> 01:12:15,650
re just making sure that

2515
01:12:15,650 --> 01:12:15,532
they understand that it

2516
01:12:15,532 --> 01:12:16,834
s

2517
01:12:16,834 --> 01:12:17,968
critical for them to be at

2518
01:12:17,968 --> 01:12:18,602
court. So, uh, you

2519
01:12:18,602 --> 01:12:20,437
ll see the

2520
01:12:20,437 --> 01:12:20,704
numbers being reflected, and

2521
01:12:20,704 --> 01:12:22,205
then you

2522
01:12:22,205 --> 01:12:24,205
ll see our

2523
01:12:24,308 --> 01:12:26,308
exonerations, uh, sustained.

2524
01:12:27,478 --> 01:12:30,478
And, uh, complaints, voters and

2525
01:12:35,850 --> 01:12:37,850
unfounded allegations. Again,

2526
01:12:37,187 --> 01:12:38,856
this slide again, will reflect

2527
01:12:38,856 --> 01:12:40,958
in terms of the the biggest,

2528
01:12:40,958 --> 01:12:42,293
um, uh, stand out is the

2529
01:12:42,293 --> 01:12:43,327
suspensions. And again, the

2530
01:12:43,327 --> 01:12:43,460
majority of those are what

2531
01:12:43,460 --> 01:12:45,460
s

2532
01:12:45,829 --> 01:12:48,829
driving those are failing to

2533
01:12:53,237 --> 01:12:55,973
appear to court. As you see,

2534
01:12:55,973 --> 01:12:56,240
our department mental staffing

2535
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,240
and that

2536
01:12:58,842 --> 01:13:01,612
s uh, as of AUGUST

2537
01:13:01,612 --> 01:13:01,779
12th. And, uh, if you see,

2538
01:13:01,779 --> 01:13:03,779
we

2539
01:13:04,181 --> 01:13:06,150
re in the 90s in every one

2540
01:13:06,150 --> 01:13:08,319
of these categories, every one

2541
01:13:08,319 --> 01:13:10,688
of these categories. And if you

2542
01:13:10,688 --> 01:13:13,900
notice our numbers last year

2543
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:14,692
around this time, we were at 64

2544
01:13:14,692 --> 01:13:14,992
vacant positions, and we

2545
01:13:14,992 --> 01:13:15,926
re at

2546
01:13:15,926 --> 01:13:16,627
32 now. But that

2547
01:13:16,627 --> 01:13:18,627
s with the

2548
01:13:18,896 --> 01:13:20,731
eight additional that that was

2549
01:13:20,731 --> 01:13:23,267
added. So we would actually be

2550
01:13:23,267 --> 01:13:24,335
at, I want to say at 23. So, so

2551
01:13:24,335 --> 01:13:26,471
you see, uh, we

2552
01:13:26,471 --> 01:13:28,471
re well into

2553
01:13:29,273 --> 01:13:31,108
um, the uh, in that, in that

2554
01:13:31,108 --> 01:13:32,143
down range in terms of reducing

2555
01:13:32,143 --> 01:13:33,770
our numbers, we

2556
01:13:33,770 --> 01:13:34,679
re projecting

2557
01:13:34,679 --> 01:13:38,616
based on what we see right now,

2558
01:13:38,616 --> 01:13:40,718
we have about 17 or 18 that are

2559
01:13:40,718 --> 01:13:41,850
in the pipeline. And we

2560
01:13:41,850 --> 01:13:41,252
re

2561
01:13:41,252 --> 01:13:42,287
we

2562
01:13:42,287 --> 01:13:42,520
re projecting that by

2563
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,221
JANUARY

2564
01:13:44,221 --> 01:13:46,190
s class, we will have

2565
01:13:46,190 --> 01:13:46,391
every vacancy filled.

2566
01:13:46,391 --> 01:13:48,391
That

2567
01:13:49,270 --> 01:13:50,862
s also head on. Sir.

2568
01:13:50,862 --> 01:13:51,462
Yeah.

2569
01:13:51,462 --> 01:13:52,960
Very good. Let

2570
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:53,331
s first time

2571
01:13:53,331 --> 01:13:53,731
that I can remember that being

2572
01:13:53,731 --> 01:13:55,330
the case.

2573
01:13:55,330 --> 01:13:55,266
And and you know, there

2574
01:13:55,266 --> 01:13:55,466
s

2575
01:13:55,466 --> 01:13:56,868
there

2576
01:13:56,868 --> 01:13:57,368
s a lot of, you know, in

2577
01:13:57,368 --> 01:13:57,735
terms of what we

2578
01:13:57,735 --> 01:13:57,902
re doing,

2579
01:13:57,902 --> 01:13:59,838
we

2580
01:13:59,838 --> 01:14:01,505
re also, you know, um,

2581
01:14:01,505 --> 01:14:03,441
attracting a lot of laterals.

2582
01:14:03,441 --> 01:14:04,800
And those laterals are critical

2583
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:04,942
because we

2584
01:14:04,942 --> 01:14:06,744
re able to get them

2585
01:14:06,744 --> 01:14:08,847
on the street anywhere from

2586
01:14:08,847 --> 01:14:09,581
four weeks to six weeks, you

2587
01:14:09,581 --> 01:14:10,480
know? So that

2588
01:14:10,480 --> 01:14:10,615
s how we

2589
01:14:10,615 --> 01:14:11,582
re able

2590
01:14:11,582 --> 01:14:11,983
to do that. But we

2591
01:14:11,983 --> 01:14:13,884
re also

2592
01:14:13,884 --> 01:14:15,190
doing some innovative, uh,

2593
01:14:15,190 --> 01:14:15,220
recruiting in terms of we

2594
01:14:15,220 --> 01:14:17,220
re

2595
01:14:17,955 --> 01:14:19,290
bringing in canines from other

2596
01:14:19,290 --> 01:14:21,125
states. People are applying

2597
01:14:21,125 --> 01:14:22,927
from Connecticut, you know, to

2598
01:14:22,927 --> 01:14:23,661
become a k-9 officer here in

2599
01:14:23,661 --> 01:14:24,929
Fayetteville. We

2600
01:14:24,929 --> 01:14:26,865
re attracting

2601
01:14:26,865 --> 01:14:29,340
officers from New York, uh,

2602
01:14:29,340 --> 01:14:31,435
Kentucky. I mean, we have a

2603
01:14:31,435 --> 01:14:31,670
really wide scope in terms of

2604
01:14:31,670 --> 01:14:32,603
what we

2605
01:14:32,603 --> 01:14:32,771
re attracting and we

2606
01:14:32,771 --> 01:14:34,138
re

2607
01:14:34,138 --> 01:14:34,339
bringing them here. So what

2608
01:14:34,339 --> 01:14:36,740
that

2609
01:14:36,740 --> 01:14:38,576
s doing is helping us

2610
01:14:38,576 --> 01:14:40,878
increase the level of

2611
01:14:40,878 --> 01:14:42,180
experience from, you know, like

2612
01:14:42,180 --> 01:14:43,648
I said, when we first got on

2613
01:14:43,648 --> 01:14:46,884
here, uh, when I first got on

2614
01:14:46,884 --> 01:14:49,210
here last year, 75% of our

2615
01:14:49,210 --> 01:14:51,523
officers had five years or less

2616
01:14:51,523 --> 01:14:53,240
of experience. Wow. So now with

2617
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:54,960
attracting and bringing in

2618
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:56,461
these, uh, laterals, uh,

2619
01:14:56,461 --> 01:14:57,496
laterals that have left and

2620
01:14:57,496 --> 01:14:58,300
came back. So we

2621
01:14:58,300 --> 01:14:59,297
re really

2622
01:14:59,297 --> 01:14:59,464
making an impact. And what

2623
01:14:59,464 --> 01:15:01,300
we

2624
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:02,166
re being able to do and, and

2625
01:15:02,166 --> 01:15:04,369
some of these innovative

2626
01:15:04,369 --> 01:15:05,737
programs. So I know patrol is,

2627
01:15:05,737 --> 01:15:05,904
is really happy to see what

2628
01:15:05,904 --> 01:15:06,872
we

2629
01:15:06,872 --> 01:15:10,275
re going to be able to do in

2630
01:15:10,275 --> 01:15:12,110
terms of 15, uh, officers per

2631
01:15:12,110 --> 01:15:12,310
squad. So then now that is

2632
01:15:12,310 --> 01:15:13,511
that

2633
01:15:13,511 --> 01:15:13,679
s going to entail that

2634
01:15:13,679 --> 01:15:14,913
we

2635
01:15:14,913 --> 01:15:16,848
ll be able to be proactive

2636
01:15:16,848 --> 01:15:17,150
and not only reactive, and then

2637
01:15:17,150 --> 01:15:18,830
we

2638
01:15:18,830 --> 01:15:20,719
ll be able to bring back our

2639
01:15:20,719 --> 01:15:21,853
cert team as well to, you know,

2640
01:15:21,853 --> 01:15:23,555
to deal with any kind of

2641
01:15:23,555 --> 01:15:25,790
projects that we MAY have in

2642
01:15:25,790 --> 01:15:26,240
the community. So again, we

2643
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:26,191
re

2644
01:15:26,191 --> 01:15:28,191
we

2645
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:29,428
re definitely in a great

2646
01:15:29,428 --> 01:15:29,561
spot in terms of what we

2647
01:15:29,561 --> 01:15:30,629
re

2648
01:15:30,629 --> 01:15:32,964
looking at right now.

2649
01:15:32,964 --> 01:15:34,799
Okay.

2650
01:15:34,799 --> 01:15:35,934
Again, this is our departmental

2651
01:15:35,934 --> 01:15:37,969
staffing. Of course, you know,

2652
01:15:37,969 --> 01:15:40,539
we are in a very transient

2653
01:15:40,539 --> 01:15:43,740
community where we have a

2654
01:15:43,740 --> 01:15:45,244
significant, um, a lot of our,

2655
01:15:45,244 --> 01:15:47,979
uh, employees are also, um,

2656
01:15:47,979 --> 01:15:50,820
military connected. So many

2657
01:15:50,820 --> 01:15:51,649
times we have those that, um,

2658
01:15:51,649 --> 01:15:52,918
when, you know, their spouses

2659
01:15:52,918 --> 01:15:53,819
ready to PCs, we

2660
01:15:53,819 --> 01:15:55,688
re also losing

2661
01:15:55,688 --> 01:15:56,856
those good employees. And, you

2662
01:15:56,856 --> 01:15:58,890
know, then we have some that

2663
01:15:58,890 --> 01:16:00,725
come in, so but we always take

2664
01:16:00,725 --> 01:16:01,593
them and, you know, but we

2665
01:16:01,593 --> 01:16:02,795
understand have that

2666
01:16:02,795 --> 01:16:04,630
understanding that this is a

2667
01:16:04,630 --> 01:16:07,300
transient community with Fort

2668
01:16:07,266 --> 01:16:09,101
Bragg. So but we always value,

2669
01:16:09,101 --> 01:16:11,370
uh, the experience, that those

2670
01:16:11,370 --> 01:16:14,970
employees bring to us, um, day

2671
01:16:15,875 --> 01:16:18,770
in and day out. For those that

2672
01:16:18,770 --> 01:16:21,770
are unaware, in APRIL we

2673
01:16:21,180 --> 01:16:22,140
launched our Faith pd podcast.

2674
01:16:22,140 --> 01:16:23,315
And so we

2675
01:16:23,315 --> 01:16:25,500
re utilizing these to

2676
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:26,419
kind of make sure and put that

2677
01:16:26,419 --> 01:16:27,954
narrative out there in terms of

2678
01:16:27,954 --> 01:16:30,890
our local policing, our

2679
01:16:30,890 --> 01:16:31,357
department priorities, and

2680
01:16:31,357 --> 01:16:32,891
letting people know the people

2681
01:16:32,891 --> 01:16:34,793
behind the badge and also a

2682
01:16:34,793 --> 01:16:37,129
professional staff. So, uh, you

2683
01:16:37,129 --> 01:16:39,980
can catch it. Uh, I believe the

2684
01:16:39,980 --> 01:16:41,233
second Friday of each month,

2685
01:16:41,233 --> 01:16:43,202
either on Spotify, Apple or

2686
01:16:43,202 --> 01:16:43,569
iHeart and YouTube. So we

2687
01:16:43,569 --> 01:16:44,203
re

2688
01:16:44,203 --> 01:16:44,437
getting out there. We

2689
01:16:44,437 --> 01:16:45,704
re going

2690
01:16:45,704 --> 01:16:46,906
to try to have that, that,

2691
01:16:46,906 --> 01:16:49,408
that, that, that voice out

2692
01:16:49,408 --> 01:16:50,209
there. MR.. Uh, Ferguson, I

2693
01:16:50,209 --> 01:16:50,343

2694
01:16:50,343 --> 01:16:51,343

01:16:51,343 --> 01:16:52,578
going to get you on there so

2696
01:16:52,578 --> 01:16:55,481

2697
01:16:55,481 --> 01:16:55,948
Martin.

2698
01:16:55,948 --> 01:16:56,915

running in the rain. We were

2712
01:17:16,703 --> 01:17:17,503
running the rain. That was that

2713
01:17:17,503 --> 01:17:17,704
was a tough one.

2714
01:17:17,704 --> 01:17:18,771

2769
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,437
staff is doing, and of course,

2770
01:18:56,437 --> 01:18:58,905
the council with, uh, putting

2771
01:18:58,905 --> 01:19:01,740
in the budget to help, uh, give

2772
01:19:01,740 --> 01:19:04,740
additional dollars to pull our

2773
01:19:04,678 --> 01:19:06,579
men and women in, uh, I got a

2774
01:19:06,579 --> 01:19:09,160
couple of questions. One, when

2775
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:10,750
you said about the lateral

2776
01:19:10,750 --> 01:19:12,619
folks are coming in, you said

2777
01:19:12,619 --> 01:19:13,621
some are coming back.

2778
01:19:13,621 --> 01:19:15,621
Yes, sir.

2779
01:19:16,957 --> 01:19:17,991
And first, explain what that

2780
01:19:17,991 --> 01:19:18,792
meant.

2781
01:19:18,792 --> 01:19:20,792
So we

2782
01:19:21,162 --> 01:19:23,830
ve had officers that were

2783
01:19:23,830 --> 01:19:25,933
previously employed with sfpd

2784
01:19:25,933 --> 01:19:28,933
that went on to other

2785
01:19:29,169 --> 01:19:30,771
departments or, uh, sought

2786
01:19:30,771 --> 01:19:32,706
employment, uh, in another

2787
01:19:32,706 --> 01:19:34,441
career field. But they are also

2788
01:19:34,441 --> 01:19:35,175
coming back now to the police

2789
01:19:35,175 --> 01:19:35,876
department.

2790
01:19:35,876 --> 01:19:36,977
So we

2791
01:19:36,977 --> 01:19:39,914
re looking more and more

2792
01:19:39,914 --> 01:19:40,114
inviting to support them coming

2793
01:19:40,114 --> 01:19:41,150
back.

2794
01:19:41,150 --> 01:19:41,215
I believe. So they

2795
01:19:41,215 --> 01:19:41,448
re they

2796
01:19:41,448 --> 01:19:42,215
re

2797
01:19:42,215 --> 01:19:42,516
getting the message. They

2798
01:19:42,516 --> 01:19:42,817
re

2799
01:19:42,817 --> 01:19:43,918
seeing what

2800
01:19:43,918 --> 01:19:46,287
s going on, sir?

2801
01:19:46,287 --> 01:19:49,887
Yeah. Explain to me what you

2802
01:19:50,224 --> 01:19:50,490
met, uh, on the k-9. You

2803
01:19:50,490 --> 01:19:52,490
re

2804
01:19:52,759 --> 01:19:54,962
getting, uh, some canine folks

2805
01:19:54,962 --> 01:19:55,196
that are coming in lateral, and

2806
01:19:55,196 --> 01:19:55,963
I don

2807
01:19:55,963 --> 01:19:57,131
t know if this is getting

2808
01:19:57,131 --> 01:19:58,165
ready to be a dumb question

2809
01:19:58,165 --> 01:20:00,902
here, but in front of you, you

2810
01:20:00,902 --> 01:20:02,303
said canine. And, uh, a guy

2811
01:20:02,303 --> 01:20:04,205
homeowner that owns German

2812
01:20:04,205 --> 01:20:06,205
Shepherds. I immediately

2813
01:20:07,700 --> 01:20:07,642
thought about the dogs. Also,

2814
01:20:07,642 --> 01:20:08,876
when they

2815
01:20:08,876 --> 01:20:11,276
re coming in lateral.

2816
01:20:11,278 --> 01:20:11,845
Is that just the individual?

2817
01:20:11,845 --> 01:20:13,845
So we

2818
01:20:14,181 --> 01:20:16,784
ve actually have two, um,

2819
01:20:16,784 --> 01:20:18,452
two candidates that have

2820
01:20:18,452 --> 01:20:19,386
canines that they want to bring

2821
01:20:19,386 --> 01:20:20,688
those canines with them.

2822
01:20:20,688 --> 01:20:21,550
Okay, okay, okay.

2823
01:20:21,550 --> 01:20:21,856
It wasn

2824
01:20:21,856 --> 01:20:22,223
t so that

2825
01:20:22,223 --> 01:20:22,857
s that

2826
01:20:22,857 --> 01:20:23,157
s you

2827
01:20:23,157 --> 01:20:24,250
know, that

2828
01:20:24,250 --> 01:20:25,826
s really when you

2829
01:20:25,826 --> 01:20:28,328
can bring on a team like that.

2830
01:20:28,328 --> 01:20:28,630
Right? Offhand no training. You

2831
01:20:28,630 --> 01:20:29,364
know, they

2832
01:20:29,364 --> 01:20:31,432
ll just have to, you

2833
01:20:31,432 --> 01:20:33,233
know, get some of the, um,

2834
01:20:33,233 --> 01:20:34,869
standards in terms of how we do

2835
01:20:34,869 --> 01:20:37,272
things and our, our, our

2836
01:20:37,272 --> 01:20:38,339
policies and SOPs, but pretty

2837
01:20:38,339 --> 01:20:39,573
much they can hit the ground

2838
01:20:39,573 --> 01:20:40,374
running when it comes to stuff

2839
01:20:40,374 --> 01:20:42,374
like that.

2840
01:20:42,710 --> 01:20:45,710
Okay. Now close to getting

2841
01:20:45,946 --> 01:20:50,746
close to my end here. Uh, go to

2842
01:20:50,985 --> 01:20:53,985
your slide with, um, sound

2843
01:20:54,255 --> 01:20:56,655
thinking. Yeah, sound thinking,

2844
01:20:57,826 --> 01:21:00,226
uh, shots spotter JANUARY

2845
01:21:01,295 --> 01:21:03,398
through JUNE of 26. Give say

2846
01:21:03,398 --> 01:21:04,499
those numbers out loud. Uh,

2847
01:21:04,499 --> 01:21:04,665
once again, because I don

2848
01:21:04,665 --> 01:21:06,166
t

2849
01:21:06,166 --> 01:21:07,235
want to mix them up, even

2850
01:21:07,235 --> 01:21:10,710
though I see what I see in

2851
01:21:10,710 --> 01:21:13,642
front of me. Tell me the, um,

2852
01:21:13,642 --> 01:21:15,443
the support with the sound

2853
01:21:15,443 --> 01:21:16,778
thinking, uh, ShotSpotter for

2854
01:21:16,778 --> 01:21:17,778
that time of the

2855
01:21:17,778 --> 01:21:18,546
recoveries.

2856
01:21:18,546 --> 01:21:20,546
So hold.

2857
01:21:24,252 --> 01:21:26,652
On just a minute.

2858
01:21:27,756 --> 01:21:28,220
So out of the 213 alerts, we

2859
01:21:28,220 --> 01:21:30,220
ve

2860
01:21:30,425 --> 01:21:33,425
had eight guns recovered, eight

2861
01:21:35,290 --> 01:21:36,597
individuals arrested and 317

2862
01:21:36,597 --> 01:21:37,499
shell casings that are also

2863
01:21:37,499 --> 01:21:38,199
recovered.

2864
01:21:38,199 --> 01:21:38,833
Okay, so that

2865
01:21:38,833 --> 01:21:39,501
s been a big

2866
01:21:39,501 --> 01:21:41,501
plus.

2867
01:21:41,636 --> 01:21:43,438
It will. And one of the things

2868
01:21:43,438 --> 01:21:45,172
for us, we understand that this

2869
01:21:45,172 --> 01:21:45,640
is just one tool in our

2870
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:46,700
toolbox.

2871
01:21:46,700 --> 01:21:47,842
Right?

2872
01:21:47,842 --> 01:21:49,644
Right. Um, but but as we

2873
01:21:49,644 --> 01:21:51,346
continue moving forward and

2874
01:21:51,346 --> 01:21:52,714
collecting these shell cases,

2875
01:21:52,714 --> 01:21:54,515
those will help us connect the

2876
01:21:54,515 --> 01:21:54,716
dots on, you know, whether

2877
01:21:54,716 --> 01:21:56,451
there

2878
01:21:56,451 --> 01:21:57,919
s aggravated assaults,

2879
01:21:57,919 --> 01:21:59,354
shooting into occupied

2880
01:21:59,354 --> 01:21:59,554
dwellings or vehicles. And

2881
01:21:59,554 --> 01:22:00,856
that

2882
01:22:00,856 --> 01:22:02,691
s what we continue to just

2883
01:22:02,691 --> 01:22:04,159
kind of hold on because it is

2884
01:22:04,159 --> 01:22:05,727
going to connect the dots when

2885
01:22:05,727 --> 01:22:07,261
we get an individual or we

2886
01:22:07,261 --> 01:22:10,365
seize the weapon. And at that

2887
01:22:10,365 --> 01:22:11,833
time we can pin or connect the

2888
01:22:11,833 --> 01:22:13,101
nexus to those individuals with

2889
01:22:13,101 --> 01:22:14,402
those weapons and those

2890
01:22:14,402 --> 01:22:15,370
previous incidents.

2891
01:22:15,370 --> 01:22:15,503
Yes, sir. Thank you. I don

2892
01:22:15,503 --> 01:22:17,500
t

2893
01:22:17,500 --> 01:22:18,239
want to take up all the time. I

2894
01:22:18,239 --> 01:22:20,642
know my colleague is going to

2895
01:22:20,642 --> 01:22:22,711
have some questions. I was also

2896
01:22:22,711 --> 01:22:25,581
looking over at the juvenile

2897
01:22:25,581 --> 01:22:26,281
data report, and I

2898
01:22:26,281 --> 01:22:28,281
m glad to

2899
01:22:28,683 --> 01:22:30,520
hear, uh, because of negative

2900
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:30,385
things that have have been

2901
01:22:30,385 --> 01:22:32,385
said. I

2902
01:22:32,387 --> 01:22:35,290
m glad to hear that.

2903
01:22:35,290 --> 01:22:37,526
Until you come up on a young

2904
01:22:37,526 --> 01:22:38,594
adult, uh, that

2905
01:22:38,594 --> 01:22:40,662

2906
01:22:40,662 --> 01:22:40,896

2907
01:22:40,896 --> 01:22:42,130
s

2908
01:22:42,130 --> 01:22:44,132
needed about that particular

2909
01:22:44,132 --> 01:22:46,568
person, not just running up on

2910
01:22:46,568 --> 01:22:49,704
them. So it was good to hear

2911
01:22:49,704 --> 01:22:51,407
that. And also wanted to say

2912
01:22:51,407 --> 01:22:51,539
congratulations to you. I don

2913
01:22:51,539 --> 01:22:51,841

through Fayetteville, they know

2935
01:23:23,639 --> 01:23:24,206
that they need to slow down.

2936
01:23:24,206 --> 01:23:25,741
Uh, but I

But school started today.

Yes, sir.

2948
01:23:42,458 --> 01:23:43,392
Might want to think about that.

2949
01:23:43,392 --> 01:23:44,660
Uh.

2950
01:23:44,660 --> 01:23:45,761
Sir, I already tell you. Uh,

2951
01:23:45,761 --> 01:23:47,263
Chief Wallace already has

2952
01:23:47,263 --> 01:23:47,630
plans. About what? What

2953
01:23:47,630 --> 01:23:48,998

2955
01:23:51,990 --> 01:23:52,468
this morning, and, uh, he

2956
01:23:52,468 --> 01:23:54,704

2957
01:23:54,704 --> 01:23:55,971

2958
01:23:55,971 --> 01:23:56,172
you know, in terms of that as

01:23:56,172 --> 01:23:57,472
well.

2960
01:23:57,472 --> 01:23:58,407
Well, let me just say this, uh,

2961
01:23:58,407 --> 01:23:59,341
I was talking with the mayor

2962
01:23:59,341 --> 01:24:01,444
this morning. I was telling him

2963
01:24:01,444 --> 01:24:02,811
I was going out, uh, to one of

2964
01:24:02,811 --> 01:24:04,800
my hot spots in the school

2965
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:05,915
zone, and I was glad to see

2966
01:24:05,915 --> 01:24:07,550
that, uh, Chief Hunt had his

2967
01:24:07,550 --> 01:24:08,685
people out there at Stony Point

2968
01:24:08,685 --> 01:24:10,720
and Century that we talked

2969
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:12,955
about. MR. Mayor, we got about

2970
01:24:12,955 --> 01:24:16,125
that traffic. Yeah. Uh, I just

2971
01:24:16,125 --> 01:24:16,292
want our citizens to know that

2972
01:24:16,292 --> 01:24:17,426
we

2973
01:24:17,426 --> 01:24:20,563
re going to do all we can to

2974
01:24:20,563 --> 01:24:21,964
make sure our kids are safe in

2975
01:24:21,964 --> 01:24:23,332
school zones and outside of

2976
01:24:23,332 --> 01:24:25,234
school zones, not just this

2977
01:24:25,234 --> 01:24:26,536
year, but every year. Uh,

2978
01:24:26,536 --> 01:24:27,570
speaking of that, I wanted to

2979
01:24:27,570 --> 01:24:29,205
make sure you gave some props

2980
01:24:29,205 --> 01:24:30,740
to your crime prevention

2981
01:24:30,740 --> 01:24:32,175
specialist, because I think the

2982
01:24:32,175 --> 01:24:33,276
reason the motor vehicle theft

2983
01:24:33,276 --> 01:24:34,444
Break-Ins has went down.

2984
01:24:34,444 --> 01:24:36,145
Because every time I turn

2985
01:24:36,145 --> 01:24:37,480
around, they are emphasizing

2986
01:24:37,480 --> 01:24:38,181
motor vehicles. Lock your

2987
01:24:38,181 --> 01:24:38,748
vehicle up and don

2988
01:24:38,748 --> 01:24:39,615
t leave your

2989
01:24:39,615 --> 01:24:40,716
guns in your cars.

2990
01:24:40,716 --> 01:24:42,510
The 9 P.M. Routine.

2991
01:24:42,510 --> 01:24:43,386
The 9 P.M. Routine. I mean,

2992
01:24:43,386 --> 01:24:44,787
they recycle it over and over

2993
01:24:44,787 --> 01:24:46,589
and over again. I know my

2994
01:24:46,589 --> 01:24:48,658

2995
01:24:48,658 --> 01:24:48,824
McNair recognized one, uh, I

2996
01:24:48,824 --> 01:24:49,659
can

2997
01:24:49,659 --> 01:24:51,728
t remember what her name

2998
01:24:51,728 --> 01:24:53,620
was, but all of them need to be

2999
01:24:53,620 --> 01:24:53,930
recognized for the great job

3000
01:24:53,930 --> 01:24:55,465
that they do at all these

3001
01:24:55,465 --> 01:24:56,732
communities that we have across

3002
01:24:56,732 --> 01:24:58,634
the entire city, uh,

3003
01:24:58,634 --> 01:25:00,303
emphasizing that, yes, the

3004
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:03,273
second one is for, uh, Chief

3005
01:25:03,273 --> 01:25:05,208
Hunt. We just renewed our sro

3006
01:25:05,208 --> 01:25:06,743
contract. Are we meeting our

3007
01:25:06,743 --> 01:25:07,710
obligations with how many SROs

3008
01:25:07,710 --> 01:25:09,145
we need to have in the high

3009
01:25:09,145 --> 01:25:10,580
schools, the junior high

3010
01:25:10,580 --> 01:25:11,481
schools and elementary schools

3011
01:25:11,481 --> 01:25:12,181
and so forth and so on?

3012
01:25:12,181 --> 01:25:13,830
Yes, sir.

3013
01:25:13,830 --> 01:25:14,184
And what is the next

3014
01:25:14,184 --> 01:25:17,184
requirement that we have? We

3015
01:25:17,220 --> 01:25:18,521
have how many schools?

3016
01:25:18,521 --> 01:25:20,457
33.

3017
01:25:20,457 --> 01:25:20,657
And we only have 18 SROs, I

3018
01:25:20,657 --> 01:25:21,358
think.

3019
01:25:21,358 --> 01:25:23,358
Yes, sir.

3020
01:25:23,526 --> 01:25:25,428
So is it still shared services?

3021
01:25:25,428 --> 01:25:26,729
It I mean, right now the, uh,

3022
01:25:26,729 --> 01:25:27,931
Cumberland County sheriff, uh,

3023
01:25:27,931 --> 01:25:29,766
Cumberland County School System

3024
01:25:29,766 --> 01:25:30,867
is paying for that. And so

3025
01:25:30,867 --> 01:25:31,902
there will be some talk in

3026
01:25:31,902 --> 01:25:34,902
terms of adding at least

3027
01:25:35,304 --> 01:25:36,539
another three, uh, here. Um,

3028
01:25:36,539 --> 01:25:37,774
when when we come up to that

3029
01:25:37,774 --> 01:25:38,976
point. Yes, sir.

3030
01:25:38,976 --> 01:25:39,475
Last question I was going to

3031
01:25:39,475 --> 01:25:40,100
ask you, but I

3032
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:41,744
m gonna ask you,

3033
01:25:41,744 --> 01:25:43,212
do we have dogs? Uh, bomb

3034
01:25:43,212 --> 01:25:43,914
sniffing dogs.

3035
01:25:43,914 --> 01:25:44,614
We have one.

3036
01:25:44,614 --> 01:25:44,982
We have one.

3037
01:25:44,982 --> 01:25:46,450
Yes, sir.

3038
01:25:46,450 --> 01:25:46,649
All right. Thank you, chief.

3039
01:25:46,649 --> 01:25:47,184
That

3040
01:25:47,184 --> 01:25:47,951
s all I know. Yes, sir.

3041
01:25:47,951 --> 01:25:50,530
Thank you, MR. Mayor.

3042
01:25:50,530 --> 01:25:51,388
All right. Thank you,

3043
01:25:51,388 --> 01:25:52,389
Councilmember Jones.

3044
01:25:52,389 --> 01:25:53,857
Thank you, MR. Mayor. Very

3045
01:25:53,857 --> 01:25:55,492
quick. Thanks for the report.

3046
01:25:55,492 --> 01:25:57,394
Provided some excellent

3047
01:25:57,394 --> 01:25:58,628
information. Uh, just to make

3048
01:25:58,628 --> 01:26:00,797
sure I got that correctly.

3049
01:26:00,797 --> 01:26:02,966
Homicides are down over a

3050
01:26:02,966 --> 01:26:03,900
little over 54%. Is that

3051
01:26:03,900 --> 01:26:04,902
correct? That is correct. All

3052
01:26:04,902 --> 01:26:05,969
right. Now, I wanted to bring

3053
01:26:05,969 --> 01:26:07,370
that forward because a lot of

3054
01:26:07,370 --> 01:26:08,772
times I hear in the community

3055
01:26:08,772 --> 01:26:10,206
and they when you hear about

3056
01:26:10,206 --> 01:26:10,407
homicide and it

3057
01:26:10,407 --> 01:26:11,700
s it

3058
01:26:11,700 --> 01:26:12,809
s in the

3059
01:26:12,809 --> 01:26:13,844
media and it gets attention, I

3060
01:26:13,844 --> 01:26:16,913
get it. And it gives the

3061
01:26:16,913 --> 01:26:18,481
perception that it happens a

3062
01:26:18,481 --> 01:26:20,417
lot. I know one is too many. I,

3063
01:26:20,417 --> 01:26:21,786
I totally understand that. Uh,

3064
01:26:21,786 --> 01:26:22,190
but it gives the perception

3065
01:26:22,190 --> 01:26:23,587
that it

3066
01:26:23,587 --> 01:26:25,389
s consistently

3067
01:26:25,389 --> 01:26:25,990
occurring. And so I, I

3068
01:26:25,990 --> 01:26:27,490
m glad

3069
01:26:27,490 --> 01:26:29,493
that you brought that statistic

3070
01:26:29,493 --> 01:26:30,728
up, uh, for that. So I really,

3071
01:26:30,728 --> 01:26:32,129
really am glad for, uh, for

3072
01:26:32,129 --> 01:26:32,829
that, especially with your

3073
01:26:32,829 --> 01:26:33,330
clearance rate. That

3074
01:26:33,330 --> 01:26:34,798
s

3075
01:26:34,798 --> 01:26:36,867
phenomenal. And I want to tie

3076
01:26:36,867 --> 01:26:38,636
that in to the sound thinking a

3077
01:26:38,636 --> 01:26:39,770
lot of my areas that some of

3078
01:26:39,770 --> 01:26:41,272
them, they wish they had it in

3079
01:26:41,272 --> 01:26:44,808
their areas as well, but they

3080
01:26:44,808 --> 01:26:46,777
were, uh, for the most part in

3081
01:26:46,777 --> 01:26:47,878
support of it. Once they kind

3082
01:26:47,878 --> 01:26:48,178
of understand. I think you did

3083
01:26:48,178 --> 01:26:49,146
it. I don

3084
01:26:49,146 --> 01:26:51,315
t think you did a

3085
01:26:51,315 --> 01:26:54,117
good job with elaborating, such

3086
01:26:54,117 --> 01:26:56,190
as the shell casings and how

3087
01:26:56,190 --> 01:26:58,221
you MAY not see that immediate

3088
01:26:58,221 --> 01:27:00,157
effect, but through the process

3089
01:27:00,157 --> 01:27:01,625
of your investigation, it might

3090
01:27:01,625 --> 01:27:03,930
be six months down or whatever

3091
01:27:03,930 --> 01:27:04,361
it is, it could lead to

3092
01:27:04,361 --> 01:27:06,497
something. So I think that that

3093
01:27:06,497 --> 01:27:08,499
is a benefit, uh, of that. So

3094
01:27:08,499 --> 01:27:10,601
my two, three quick questions

3095
01:27:10,601 --> 01:27:13,637
for you, uh, in regards to the

3096
01:27:13,637 --> 01:27:16,370
youth context, um, you

3097
01:27:16,173 --> 01:27:17,641
mentioned the reasonable

3098
01:27:17,641 --> 01:27:18,943
suspicion, probable cause

3099
01:27:18,943 --> 01:27:20,578
aspect. Could you just give

3100
01:27:20,578 --> 01:27:22,120
give us an idea, give the

3101
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,382
public an idea of what that

3102
01:27:24,382 --> 01:27:26,782
potentially looks looks like.

3103
01:27:28,753 --> 01:27:30,955
So what that looks like is not

3104
01:27:30,955 --> 01:27:31,422
one. One call comes in, says,

3105
01:27:31,422 --> 01:27:33,422
hey, there

3106
01:27:33,424 --> 01:27:35,424
s two suspicious,

3107
01:27:36,527 --> 01:27:39,527
um, subjects, uh, pulling car

3108
01:27:39,697 --> 01:27:42,697
handles. And in the community

3109
01:27:43,340 --> 01:27:45,203
on the street, we arrive there,

3110
01:27:45,203 --> 01:27:46,471
we see two individuals matching

3111
01:27:46,471 --> 01:27:46,804
that description. That

3112
01:27:46,804 --> 01:27:48,804
s when

3113
01:27:50,410 --> 01:27:51,142
we approach them. Then we

3114
01:27:51,142 --> 01:27:52,343
determine that there are

3115
01:27:52,343 --> 01:27:52,643
juveniles and they

3116
01:27:52,643 --> 01:27:52,810
ll that

3117
01:27:52,810 --> 01:27:54,810
s

3118
01:27:55,813 --> 01:27:57,481
how they get, um, you know,

3119
01:27:57,481 --> 01:27:58,549
related I our statistics.

3120
01:27:58,549 --> 01:28:00,285
Understood, understood. And

3121
01:28:00,285 --> 01:28:01,952
again, I know there MAY be some

3122
01:28:01,952 --> 01:28:03,854
nuances, but just I wanted to

3123
01:28:03,854 --> 01:28:05,389
share that just to, uh, let

3124
01:28:05,389 --> 01:28:05,656
folks know I really don

3125
01:28:05,656 --> 01:28:07,492
t

3126
01:28:07,492 --> 01:28:09,327
believe uh, and again, this is

3127
01:28:09,327 --> 01:28:11,329
me, uh, that that you all are

3128
01:28:11,329 --> 01:28:12,864
out there just looking, uh,

3129
01:28:12,864 --> 01:28:13,998
just randomly doing it. And you

3130
01:28:13,998 --> 01:28:14,899
stated that. So I appreciate

3131
01:28:14,899 --> 01:28:16,101
that because I wanted to bring

3132
01:28:16,101 --> 01:28:18,670
some clarity with that. Number

3133
01:28:18,670 --> 01:28:20,710
two, uh, as it relates to, uh,

3134
01:28:20,710 --> 01:28:22,107
vehicle searches, I do get a

3135
01:28:22,107 --> 01:28:23,410
lot of this question from our

3136
01:28:23,410 --> 01:28:23,208
residents. They said, well,

3137
01:28:23,208 --> 01:28:23,541
we

3138
01:28:23,541 --> 01:28:24,809
re we

3139
01:28:24,809 --> 01:28:26,809
re smelling marijuana

3140
01:28:28,790 --> 01:28:30,790
at stoplights. So,

3141
01:28:30,915 --> 01:28:31,916
hypothetically, someone stops

3142
01:28:31,916 --> 01:28:33,451
you, stop somebody for

3143
01:28:33,451 --> 01:28:35,187
equipment violation or

3144
01:28:35,187 --> 01:28:36,955
something. Is that that smell

3145
01:28:36,955 --> 01:28:39,955
of marijuana? Is that consider

3146
01:28:40,191 --> 01:28:41,659
a reasonable cause to acts, you

3147
01:28:41,659 --> 01:28:42,193
know, act or however you want

3148
01:28:42,193 --> 01:28:43,928
to ask.

3149
01:28:43,928 --> 01:28:45,463
About probable cause to go

3150
01:28:45,463 --> 01:28:46,640
ahead and ask, yes, yes you

3151
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:47,532
did.

3152
01:28:47,532 --> 01:28:48,933
Okay, okay. And I know it MAY

3153
01:28:48,933 --> 01:28:50,435
seem like a cop, but a lot of I

3154
01:28:50,435 --> 01:28:50,936
get a lot of those questions.

3155
01:28:50,936 --> 01:28:51,870
And that

3156
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:53,371
s some of the things

3157
01:28:53,371 --> 01:28:55,373
that I on the other part of it,

3158
01:28:55,373 --> 01:28:55,774
uh, some were saying, well, you

3159
01:28:55,774 --> 01:28:56,541
know, they can

3160
01:28:56,541 --> 01:28:58,900
t really if they

3161
01:28:58,900 --> 01:28:59,770
stop me, you know, if they

3162
01:28:59,770 --> 01:29:00,512
smell it, it they can they

3163
01:29:00,512 --> 01:29:01,680
really ask me to search my

3164
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,680
vehicle or things of that

3165
01:29:05,150 --> 01:29:07,185
nature. So I just wanted..

3166
01:29:07,185 --> 01:29:07,585
Yes. At that point. Yes.

3167
01:29:07,585 --> 01:29:08,653
All right.

3168
01:29:08,653 --> 01:29:10,521
Thank you. Thank you. And

3169
01:29:10,521 --> 01:29:11,622
lastly, uh, how are your ears?

3170
01:29:11,622 --> 01:29:12,790
I know you all used some data

3171
01:29:12,790 --> 01:29:15,126
and things of that nature and

3172
01:29:15,126 --> 01:29:16,594
and just feedback, uh, areas

3173
01:29:16,594 --> 01:29:18,863
that you plan for your

3174
01:29:18,863 --> 01:29:20,799
speeding, uh, speeding

3175
01:29:20,799 --> 01:29:21,566
campaign. How are how are those

3176
01:29:21,566 --> 01:29:22,968
determined?

3177
01:29:22,968 --> 01:29:25,337
So a lot of those are based on

3178
01:29:25,337 --> 01:29:27,306
the calls from the, the

3179
01:29:27,306 --> 01:29:29,740
citizens here, the residents

3180
01:29:29,740 --> 01:29:31,760
here. Uh, a lot of the times

3181
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:33,780
you all receive, uh, complaints

3182
01:29:33,780 --> 01:29:34,746
as well. And so we, we go ahead

3183
01:29:34,746 --> 01:29:36,548
and target based on the

3184
01:29:36,548 --> 01:29:37,816
feedback that we are receiving

3185
01:29:37,816 --> 01:29:38,884
in terms of where the calls are

3186
01:29:38,884 --> 01:29:39,318
coming from. And that

3187
01:29:39,318 --> 01:29:41,318
s where

3188
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:43,655
we direct our resources to.

3189
01:29:43,655 --> 01:29:45,356
Absolutely. So, uh, and this is

3190
01:29:45,356 --> 01:29:47,292
a I, I do thank you for that.

3191
01:29:47,292 --> 01:29:49,494
I, I would like to put out

3192
01:29:49,494 --> 01:29:51,664
there, uh, Rosehill road and I

3193
01:29:51,664 --> 01:29:53,650
want to give you your, uh,

3194
01:29:53,650 --> 01:29:53,265
staff a lot of credit. I

3195
01:29:53,265 --> 01:29:55,265
ve

3196
01:29:56,368 --> 01:29:58,937
seen a increased presence along

3197
01:29:58,937 --> 01:30:00,472
Rose Hill Road. I mean, very,

3198
01:30:00,472 --> 01:30:02,274
at very strategic times in the

3199
01:30:02,274 --> 01:30:04,476
morning, midday, afternoon, I,

3200
01:30:04,476 --> 01:30:04,743
see them out there. Uh, so i

3201
01:30:04,743 --> 01:30:05,744
know that

3202
01:30:05,744 --> 01:30:07,179
s a major cut

3203
01:30:07,179 --> 01:30:09,582
through, uh, for some areas,

3204
01:30:09,582 --> 01:30:10,615
so. But definitely, uh, put

3205
01:30:10,615 --> 01:30:10,783
that on your radar. I know it

3206
01:30:10,783 --> 01:30:12,217
s

3207
01:30:12,217 --> 01:30:13,452
already out there. So with the

3208
01:30:13,452 --> 01:30:14,420
increased signage that they

3209
01:30:14,420 --> 01:30:16,188
have out there and some other

3210
01:30:16,188 --> 01:30:17,255
things that were done, uh, I

3211
01:30:17,255 --> 01:30:18,490
just wanted to put that out

3212
01:30:18,490 --> 01:30:19,291
there. But thank you so much.

3213
01:30:19,291 --> 01:30:20,426
Thank you.

3214
01:30:20,426 --> 01:30:22,294
Thank you, sir.

3215
01:30:22,294 --> 01:30:24,930
Oh, yeah. All right. Thank you.

3216
01:30:24,930 --> 01:30:26,132
Uh, Councilmember McMillan.

3217
01:30:26,132 --> 01:30:27,300
Thank you, MR. Mayor. Thank

3218
01:30:27,300 --> 01:30:28,401
you, chief. I appreciate all

3219
01:30:28,401 --> 01:30:31,670
you do. And thank you for this

3220
01:30:31,670 --> 01:30:34,139
report. Um, I had a question

3221
01:30:34,139 --> 01:30:37,243
about how we track, how we

3222
01:30:37,243 --> 01:30:38,677
track traffic, stop data. Um,

3223
01:30:38,677 --> 01:30:40,120
earlier this year, earlier this

3224
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:41,881
summer, the governor signed a

3225
01:30:41,881 --> 01:30:43,882
budget that did not include a

3226
01:30:43,882 --> 01:30:44,483
general statute that

3227
01:30:44,483 --> 01:30:46,252
s been in

3228
01:30:46,252 --> 01:30:47,553
place since 2002. Uh, the

3229
01:30:47,553 --> 01:30:49,422
really forced departments

3230
01:30:49,422 --> 01:30:51,891
across North Carolina to track

3231
01:30:51,891 --> 01:30:53,793
incidents by race. Uh, to be

3232
01:30:53,793 --> 01:30:54,994
able to look at disparities,

3233
01:30:54,994 --> 01:30:57,263
especially in policing and

3234
01:30:57,263 --> 01:30:57,796
traffic stops, as you know, in

3235
01:30:57,796 --> 01:30:59,310
Fayetteville, it

3236
01:30:59,310 --> 01:30:59,365
s, uh, it

3237
01:30:59,365 --> 01:31:00,667
s

3238
01:31:00,667 --> 01:31:02,735
caused us to see that there are

3239
01:31:02,735 --> 01:31:03,102
some disparities. Uh, we

3240
01:31:03,102 --> 01:31:04,270
ve

3241
01:31:04,270 --> 01:31:06,572
dealt with driving while black

3242
01:31:06,572 --> 01:31:07,640
as, as a, as a result, you

3243
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:09,309
know, some of those

3244
01:31:09,309 --> 01:31:10,843
disparities. I wanted to hear

3245
01:31:10,843 --> 01:31:11,144
from you. What what your

3246
01:31:11,144 --> 01:31:13,144
department

3247
01:31:13,279 --> 01:31:15,314
s take is on, uh, on

3248
01:31:15,314 --> 01:31:17,517
the loss of this requirement

3249
01:31:17,517 --> 01:31:18,884
and what your is in

3250
01:31:18,884 --> 01:31:20,190
terms of continuing to track

3251
01:31:20,190 --> 01:31:22,190
this data.

3252
01:31:22,588 --> 01:31:24,958
Yes, sir. So when we received

3253
01:31:24,958 --> 01:31:26,893
that information, uh, for us,

3254
01:31:26,893 --> 01:31:28,428
it was also we were surprised

3255
01:31:28,428 --> 01:31:30,664
that that actually went ahead

3256
01:31:30,664 --> 01:31:32,665
and passed, uh, but, uh, from

3257
01:31:32,665 --> 01:31:35,201
us, after discussing with my

3258
01:31:35,201 --> 01:31:37,603
staff and we had a

3259
01:31:37,603 --> 01:31:39,172
overwhelming, um, uh, agreement

3260
01:31:39,172 --> 01:31:39,839
in terms of, for us as a

3261
01:31:39,839 --> 01:31:40,239
department, it

3262
01:31:40,239 --> 01:31:42,239
s going to

3263
01:31:42,375 --> 01:31:44,100
continue to be in our policy so

3264
01:31:44,100 --> 01:31:45,245
that we have that transparency

3265
01:31:45,245 --> 01:31:47,246
for the community and maintain

3266
01:31:47,246 --> 01:31:48,414
that trust. So for us as a

3267
01:31:48,414 --> 01:31:48,581
department, even though it

3268
01:31:48,581 --> 01:31:48,748
s

3269
01:31:48,748 --> 01:31:49,949
it

3270
01:31:49,949 --> 01:31:52,252
s no longer a requirement,

3271
01:31:52,252 --> 01:31:54,787
we will be continuing the

3272
01:31:54,787 --> 01:31:56,188
traffic stop reports as part of

3273
01:31:56,188 --> 01:31:57,824
our requirement. And everything

3274
01:31:57,824 --> 01:31:59,659
that we do as a department.

3275
01:31:59,659 --> 01:32:02,429
I appreciate hearing you say

3276
01:32:02,429 --> 01:32:04,430
that, uh, in public, uh, also

3277
01:32:04,430 --> 01:32:06,566
would ask the council to think

3278
01:32:06,566 --> 01:32:07,300
about what we can do to ensure

3279
01:32:07,300 --> 01:32:07,701
that possibly that

3280
01:32:07,701 --> 01:32:08,601
s an

3281
01:32:08,601 --> 01:32:08,768
ordinance or something that

3282
01:32:08,768 --> 01:32:10,768
s

3283
01:32:11,505 --> 01:32:12,705
solid, uh, especially in light

3284
01:32:12,705 --> 01:32:14,700
of how things are changing

3285
01:32:14,700 --> 01:32:15,842
legislatively at the state.

3286
01:32:15,842 --> 01:32:18,444
State level. Uh, I also wanted

3287
01:32:18,444 --> 01:32:21,114
to ask chief about, uh,

3288
01:32:21,114 --> 01:32:22,916
information on the sro program.

3289
01:32:22,916 --> 01:32:24,985
Uh, we had a discussion earlier

3290
01:32:24,985 --> 01:32:27,286
this year about, uh, what an

3291
01:32:27,286 --> 01:32:29,686
awesome responsibility it is,

3292
01:32:29,989 --> 01:32:33,393
uh, to have police officers, a

3293
01:32:33,393 --> 01:32:34,761
uniformed, uh, in schools and

3294
01:32:34,761 --> 01:32:36,830
also how we need to take some

3295
01:32:36,830 --> 01:32:38,197
safeguards and understand what

3296
01:32:38,197 --> 01:32:40,333
impacts that has on our

3297
01:32:40,333 --> 01:32:42,102
students, especially. And I

3298
01:32:42,102 --> 01:32:44,370
want to make a request tonight.

3299
01:32:44,370 --> 01:32:46,306
Um, uh, if you look at slide

3300
01:32:46,306 --> 01:32:48,909
ten, it does show, uh, some

3301
01:32:48,909 --> 01:32:49,843
some responses. Uh, it does

3302
01:32:49,843 --> 01:32:51,245
show some very basic

3303
01:32:51,245 --> 01:32:53,245
information about our

3304
01:32:53,480 --> 01:32:54,681
interaction. Uh, but the point

3305
01:32:54,681 --> 01:32:56,650
that I brought up earlier this

3306
01:32:56,650 --> 01:32:59,486
year that I think data would

3307
01:32:59,486 --> 01:33:00,754
allow us to look at, uh, is how

3308
01:33:00,754 --> 01:33:03,900
this could impact the school to

3309
01:33:03,900 --> 01:33:05,250
prison pipeline and having, uh,

3310
01:33:05,250 --> 01:33:07,160
juveniles, kids and students

3311
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:08,695
who are justice impacted, uh,

3312
01:33:08,695 --> 01:33:10,364
and how important it is to

3313
01:33:10,364 --> 01:33:10,897
track that. So there are some,

3314
01:33:10,897 --> 01:33:11,965
uh, there

3315
01:33:11,965 --> 01:33:14,365
s some measures like

3316
01:33:15,202 --> 01:33:16,603
school based or race arrests,

3317
01:33:16,603 --> 01:33:17,270
number of citations.

3318
01:33:17,270 --> 01:33:18,839
Say that again, sir.

3319
01:33:18,839 --> 01:33:19,873
Uh, school based arrests.

3320
01:33:19,873 --> 01:33:20,206
School based like tracking

3321
01:33:20,206 --> 01:33:20,907
that.

3322
01:33:20,907 --> 01:33:22,907
Okay.

3323
01:33:23,444 --> 01:33:24,745
Tracking citations? Yes, sir.

3324
01:33:24,745 --> 01:33:26,680
Tracking the number of court

3325
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,680
referrals that come through the

3326
01:33:29,983 --> 01:33:31,510
sro program, especially, uh,

3327
01:33:31,510 --> 01:33:33,153
track and use of force

3328
01:33:33,153 --> 01:33:34,888
incidents with our students.

3329
01:33:34,888 --> 01:33:37,900
And then, uh, and then those

3330
01:33:37,900 --> 01:33:37,691
same type of racial breakdowns

3331
01:33:37,691 --> 01:33:38,580
to ensure that we

3332
01:33:38,580 --> 01:33:38,959
re not

3333
01:33:38,959 --> 01:33:40,760
repeating some racial

3334
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:42,396
disparities that that exist on

3335
01:33:42,396 --> 01:33:43,864
the broader level. Okay. Uh, I

3336
01:33:43,864 --> 01:33:43,998
would like to see those. And

3337
01:33:43,998 --> 01:33:44,931
I

3338
01:33:44,931 --> 01:33:45,866
m sure more of my colleagues

3339
01:33:45,866 --> 01:33:47,634
will be interested in seeing

3340
01:33:47,634 --> 01:33:49,370
that on a on a quarterly basis.

3341
01:33:49,370 --> 01:33:50,704
Okay. And just so you know, to,

3342
01:33:50,704 --> 01:33:53,474
for, you know, I, I actually

3343
01:33:53,474 --> 01:33:54,942
had one of the SROs that was

3344
01:33:54,942 --> 01:33:55,976
talking, uh, he actually came

3345
01:33:55,976 --> 01:33:57,912
from the county and

3346
01:33:57,912 --> 01:34:00,912
transitioned over, uh, to the

3347
01:34:01,882 --> 01:34:03,851
city. And, um, you know, one of

3348
01:34:03,851 --> 01:34:05,519
the I don

3349
01:34:05,519 --> 01:34:07,621
t think the public

3350
01:34:07,621 --> 01:34:09,456
really knows how much of an

3351
01:34:09,456 --> 01:34:11,592
impact it has in terms of

3352
01:34:11,592 --> 01:34:13,194
having these SROs in our

3353
01:34:13,194 --> 01:34:15,950
schools, because he had he told

3354
01:34:15,950 --> 01:34:17,980
me a story of one of his, one

3355
01:34:17,980 --> 01:34:20,234
of the students, um, in the

3356
01:34:20,234 --> 01:34:22,770
school that she never spoke to

3357
01:34:22,770 --> 01:34:25,206
him. And at one time there was

3358
01:34:25,206 --> 01:34:27,609
an incident where, uh, he had

3359
01:34:27,609 --> 01:34:28,943
to restrain her from and, you

3360
01:34:28,943 --> 01:34:31,450
know, a fight that was going on

3361
01:34:31,450 --> 01:34:34,782
in the school. Uh, and she was

3362
01:34:34,782 --> 01:34:36,684
very, very, um, disruptive. Um,

3363
01:34:36,684 --> 01:34:38,252
and but he maintained

3364
01:34:38,252 --> 01:34:40,154
continued speaking with that

3365
01:34:40,154 --> 01:34:41,355
young lady. By the time the end

3366
01:34:41,355 --> 01:34:43,791
of the school year came out,

3367
01:34:43,791 --> 01:34:45,326
she came and hugged him. And

3368
01:34:45,326 --> 01:34:47,194
for him, it was just one of

3369
01:34:47,194 --> 01:34:48,696
those things where he sees the

3370
01:34:48,696 --> 01:34:51,320
difference in it. I mean, and

3371
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:53,734
this is happening across our

3372
01:34:53,734 --> 01:34:55,270
schools, but nobody ever really

3373
01:34:55,270 --> 01:34:56,400
knows that because we

3374
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:57,872
re not

3375
01:34:57,872 --> 01:34:59,674
talking about that publicly.

3376
01:34:59,674 --> 01:35:01,643
And I just also want to make

3377
01:35:01,643 --> 01:35:02,643
sure that we do a better job in

3378
01:35:02,643 --> 01:35:03,878
making sure that we are

3379
01:35:03,878 --> 01:35:05,212
highlighting a lot of these

3380
01:35:05,212 --> 01:35:06,470
positive encounters that are

3381
01:35:06,470 --> 01:35:06,214
happening because it

3382
01:35:06,214 --> 01:35:07,815
s

3383
01:35:07,815 --> 01:35:07,982
happening every day. We just

3384
01:35:07,982 --> 01:35:08,516
don

3385
01:35:08,516 --> 01:35:08,916
t, you know, we don

3386
01:35:08,916 --> 01:35:10,352
t hear

3387
01:35:10,352 --> 01:35:10,851
about them, and we only hear

3388
01:35:10,851 --> 01:35:12,190
about when it

3389
01:35:12,190 --> 01:35:13,121
s negative. So I

3390
01:35:13,121 --> 01:35:15,990
just want to make sure that we

3391
01:35:15,990 --> 01:35:17,692
also take some, you know, that

3392
01:35:17,692 --> 01:35:19,294
opportunity to also highlight

3393
01:35:19,294 --> 01:35:21,129
when when the good things are

3394
01:35:21,129 --> 01:35:23,164
also happening with our SROs.

3395
01:35:23,164 --> 01:35:24,231
As well. And I think we also

3396
01:35:24,231 --> 01:35:26,301
saw one of the good things,

3397
01:35:26,301 --> 01:35:28,270
chief, tonight and hearing you,

3398
01:35:28,270 --> 01:35:29,971
uh, underscore the importance

3399
01:35:29,971 --> 01:35:31,772
of having probable cause and

3400
01:35:31,772 --> 01:35:33,141
reasonable suspicion, the

3401
01:35:33,141 --> 01:35:34,475
suspicion, uh, prior to

3402
01:35:34,475 --> 01:35:36,475
approaching any individual,

3403
01:35:36,511 --> 01:35:37,579
regardless of age here. And I

3404
01:35:37,579 --> 01:35:39,647
appreciate that that is a part

3405
01:35:39,647 --> 01:35:40,248
of the enforcement, uh, and

3406
01:35:40,248 --> 01:35:40,781
part of what we

3407
01:35:40,781 --> 01:35:42,160
re passing on

3408
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:43,840
to our officers as they go out

3409
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:44,185
into the field. So thank you

3410
01:35:44,185 --> 01:35:44,485
for saying that publicly as

3411
01:35:44,485 --> 01:35:45,120
well.

3412
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:46,187
Yes, sir.

3413
01:35:46,187 --> 01:35:46,921
All right. Thank you,

3414
01:35:46,921 --> 01:35:48,389
COUNCILMAN Davis.

3415
01:35:48,389 --> 01:35:49,791
Thank you, MR. Mayor. Uh, first

3416
01:35:49,791 --> 01:35:51,426
of all, thank you, sir, for the

3417
01:35:51,426 --> 01:35:53,940
presentation. Um, I think I

3418
01:35:53,940 --> 01:35:54,462
wanted to speak towards the

3419
01:35:54,462 --> 01:35:56,231
speeding. Um, you guys have

3420
01:35:56,231 --> 01:35:57,132
been on a tremendous job,

3421
01:35:57,132 --> 01:35:57,265
almost to the point where I

3422
01:35:57,265 --> 01:35:58,466
m

3423
01:35:58,466 --> 01:35:59,701
scared to leave my house now.

3424
01:35:59,701 --> 01:36:00,100
Okay, to be honest with you,

3425
01:36:00,100 --> 01:36:00,301
but I don

3426
01:36:00,301 --> 01:36:00,502
t speak.

3427
01:36:00,502 --> 01:36:00,702
That

3428
01:36:00,702 --> 01:36:00,968
s that

3429
01:36:00,968 --> 01:36:01,102
s what we

3430
01:36:01,102 --> 01:36:01,336
re

3431
01:36:01,336 --> 01:36:01,570
trying.

3432
01:36:01,570 --> 01:36:02,671
I don

3433
01:36:02,671 --> 01:36:02,937
t speak, by the way. Um,

3434
01:36:02,937 --> 01:36:04,937
but.

3435
01:36:05,173 --> 01:36:05,607
What are you scared for, MR.

3436
01:36:05,607 --> 01:36:07,442
Mayor?

3437
01:36:07,442 --> 01:36:08,576
Um, I do want to ask you,

3438
01:36:08,576 --> 01:36:10,778
though, um, there was a

3439
01:36:10,778 --> 01:36:12,380
comment, made a question asked

3440
01:36:12,380 --> 01:36:13,915
at the, uh, coffee with the

3441
01:36:13,915 --> 01:36:16,551
mayor this morning in reference

3442
01:36:16,551 --> 01:36:18,153
to, um, officers having to meet

3443
01:36:18,153 --> 01:36:19,454
a quota on giving out tickets.

3444
01:36:19,454 --> 01:36:21,423
Could you speak to that so that

3445
01:36:21,423 --> 01:36:23,823
we can, you know.

3446
01:36:24,159 --> 01:36:25,661
Absolutely, absolutely no quota

3447
01:36:25,661 --> 01:36:27,395
with tickets. Okay. That that

3448
01:36:27,395 --> 01:36:28,396
does not exist. Thank you. That

3449
01:36:28,396 --> 01:36:30,396
does not exist.

3450
01:36:30,598 --> 01:36:31,733
Thank you. All right, um,

3451
01:36:31,733 --> 01:36:33,350
before we go to round two for

3452
01:36:33,350 --> 01:36:34,469
Mayor pro tem, I did have a

3453
01:36:34,469 --> 01:36:37,239
couple of things I want to say.

3454
01:36:37,239 --> 01:36:39,108
One. Um, chief, thank you for

3455
01:36:39,108 --> 01:36:40,876
the thoroughness in the report.

3456
01:36:40,876 --> 01:36:41,843
I want I wanted to point out

3457
01:36:41,843 --> 01:36:44,460
something for the for the

3458
01:36:44,460 --> 01:36:44,579
listening audience that, you

3459
01:36:44,579 --> 01:36:46,140
know, we

3460
01:36:46,140 --> 01:36:47,282
ve heard from two of

3461
01:36:47,282 --> 01:36:48,216
the three components of public

3462
01:36:48,216 --> 01:36:48,484
safety tonight. We

3463
01:36:48,484 --> 01:36:50,484
ve heard

3464
01:36:50,485 --> 01:36:52,154
from fire from police. I see,

3465
01:36:52,154 --> 01:36:54,220
uh, MR. Jones back there with

3466
01:36:54,220 --> 01:36:56,258
Oakes. The combination of what

3467
01:36:56,258 --> 01:36:58,927
you all are doing are leading

3468
01:36:58,927 --> 01:37:01,830
to these positive numbers that

3469
01:37:01,830 --> 01:37:03,866
homicides almost in half, that

3470
01:37:03,866 --> 01:37:05,901
these juvenile related issues

3471
01:37:05,901 --> 01:37:07,870
that we have, uh, are trending

3472
01:37:07,870 --> 01:37:08,136
in the right way. And so, you

3473
01:37:08,136 --> 01:37:09,138
know, we

3474
01:37:09,138 --> 01:37:11,538
ve gone through some

3475
01:37:11,573 --> 01:37:13,375
tough times to make some tough

3476
01:37:13,375 --> 01:37:13,742
decisions. But, you know,

3477
01:37:13,742 --> 01:37:14,810
numbers don

3478
01:37:14,810 --> 01:37:15,770
t have an opinion.

3479
01:37:15,770 --> 01:37:16,545
They don

3480
01:37:16,545 --> 01:37:16,845
t have an affiliation.

3481
01:37:16,845 --> 01:37:17,379
They don

3482
01:37:17,379 --> 01:37:17,613
t they don

3483
01:37:17,613 --> 01:37:17,747
t they

3484
01:37:17,747 --> 01:37:19,747
re

3485
01:37:20,316 --> 01:37:22,170
not biased. Their numbers. And

3486
01:37:22,170 --> 01:37:23,818
these are factual numbers that

3487
01:37:23,818 --> 01:37:25,320
say that the combination of

3488
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:27,123
these things are working

3489
01:37:27,123 --> 01:37:28,900
together for a good outcome.

3490
01:37:28,900 --> 01:37:29,792
And I want to make sure we

3491
01:37:29,792 --> 01:37:30,726
point that out from, you know,

3492
01:37:30,726 --> 01:37:32,127
the sound thinking and

3493
01:37:32,127 --> 01:37:33,195
ShotSpotter we had, you know,

3494
01:37:33,195 --> 01:37:34,297
there was some public concern

3495
01:37:34,297 --> 01:37:34,630
about that, but you

3496
01:37:34,630 --> 01:37:36,980
re getting

3497
01:37:36,980 --> 01:37:36,698
guns off the street. We

3498
01:37:36,698 --> 01:37:38,133
ve seen

3499
01:37:38,133 --> 01:37:39,668
arrests that come out of that.

3500
01:37:39,668 --> 01:37:41,503
And and I want to make sure we

3501
01:37:41,503 --> 01:37:42,872
highlight that the sro program,

3502
01:37:42,872 --> 01:37:44,540
when we recently renewed that

3503
01:37:44,540 --> 01:37:45,441
it was concerned that it was

3504
01:37:45,441 --> 01:37:46,909
somehow going to have a

3505
01:37:46,909 --> 01:37:47,176
negative impact. What I

3506
01:37:47,176 --> 01:37:48,310
m

3507
01:37:48,310 --> 01:37:48,977
seeing and I want to turn to

3508
01:37:48,977 --> 01:37:49,411
this slide while I

3509
01:37:49,411 --> 01:37:50,846
m saying

3510
01:37:50,846 --> 01:37:53,482
this, if you could, the school

3511
01:37:53,482 --> 01:37:54,817
resource officer program slide,

3512
01:37:54,817 --> 01:37:58,417
I want the public to follow

3513
01:38:00,423 --> 01:38:02,525
this for a minute. Uh, think it

3514
01:38:02,525 --> 01:38:02,692
slide number. It says ten, but

3515
01:38:02,692 --> 01:38:04,692
it

3516
01:38:04,727 --> 01:38:07,563
s page five. In the overall

3517
01:38:07,563 --> 01:38:10,563
scheme of things. Yeah. So

3518
01:38:13,370 --> 01:38:14,904
basically the orange is 22 is

3519
01:38:14,904 --> 01:38:15,538
reports. Yeah. That

3520
01:38:15,538 --> 01:38:16,572
s incident

3521
01:38:16,572 --> 01:38:20,172
reports okay. And then it calls

3522
01:38:21,277 --> 01:38:24,246
for service okay. And so the

3523
01:38:24,246 --> 01:38:26,916
comparison from year to year

3524
01:38:26,916 --> 01:38:29,916
where is that that component.

3525
01:38:30,319 --> 01:38:31,821
Because because you, you have a

3526
01:38:31,821 --> 01:38:33,890
calls for service versus

3527
01:38:33,890 --> 01:38:35,424
incident report. So how do you

3528
01:38:35,424 --> 01:38:35,625
compare uh year to year on

3529
01:38:35,625 --> 01:38:36,426
that.

3530
01:38:36,426 --> 01:38:38,261
So we

3531
01:38:38,261 --> 01:38:39,929
re into our second year

3532
01:38:39,929 --> 01:38:40,763
of doing this now. And so now

3533
01:38:40,763 --> 01:38:41,797
as I stated, we we

3534
01:38:41,797 --> 01:38:43,797
re changing

3535
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,200
up our numbers from how we

3536
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:47,690
were. We were first doing it

3537
01:38:47,690 --> 01:38:48,638
from AUGUST.

3538
01:38:48,638 --> 01:38:51,380
From school calendar year.

3539
01:38:51,141 --> 01:38:51,841
So I would say probably the end

3540
01:38:51,841 --> 01:38:52,108
of this year, then we

3541
01:38:52,108 --> 01:38:53,710
ll be

3542
01:38:53,710 --> 01:38:55,178
able to get, you know, full

3543
01:38:55,178 --> 01:38:55,545
year and then start making a

3544
01:38:55,545 --> 01:38:55,745
comparison.

3545
01:38:55,745 --> 01:38:56,746
So it

3546
01:38:56,746 --> 01:38:58,615
ll be a solid 12 month

3547
01:38:58,615 --> 01:39:00,216
comparison. Right? Okay. Okay.

3548
01:39:00,216 --> 01:39:03,487
All right. That was one of the

3549
01:39:03,487 --> 01:39:05,288
questions. And then two, um I

3550
01:39:05,288 --> 01:39:07,824
saw that uh, on your on your

3551
01:39:07,824 --> 01:39:10,824
gun seizures. Uh, I wrote

3552
01:39:11,695 --> 01:39:15,895
myself a note on that. Um, you

3553
01:39:16,432 --> 01:39:20,320
had. There out of the traffic

3554
01:39:21,505 --> 01:39:23,340
stops, 20, 25, there were 167

3555
01:39:23,340 --> 01:39:24,574
guns collectively seized. And

3556
01:39:24,574 --> 01:39:26,376
of course, these are illegal

3557
01:39:26,376 --> 01:39:27,644
weapons. Not not legal weapons.

3558
01:39:27,644 --> 01:39:28,578
Right. Or does this count

3559
01:39:28,578 --> 01:39:30,800
everything? Well, why would you

3560
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:32,282
see a legal weapon?

3561
01:39:32,282 --> 01:39:34,151
It could be if if it was used

3562
01:39:34,151 --> 01:39:34,650
in a crime or it wasn

3563
01:39:34,650 --> 01:39:35,919
t, you

3564
01:39:35,919 --> 01:39:37,687
know, it had to been some type

3565
01:39:37,687 --> 01:39:39,890
of crime. So some.

3566
01:39:39,890 --> 01:39:42,290
Prompted decision. Right. So

3567
01:39:43,260 --> 01:39:44,261
167 case last year 143 this

3568
01:39:44,261 --> 01:39:46,496
year. These are just from the

3569
01:39:46,496 --> 01:39:49,496
vehicle searches. Now does that

3570
01:39:50,667 --> 01:39:51,869
also include uh or any of these

3571
01:39:51,869 --> 01:39:53,470
statistics in any of these

3572
01:39:53,470 --> 01:39:54,304
other categories, like where it

3573
01:39:54,304 --> 01:39:56,673
says the number of weapons

3574
01:39:56,673 --> 01:39:58,909
recovered from ShotSpotter? Um,

3575
01:39:58,909 --> 01:39:59,976
so the is there a possibility

3576
01:39:59,976 --> 01:40:01,211
that you responded to a

3577
01:40:01,211 --> 01:40:02,713
ShotSpotter alert? But it also

3578
01:40:02,713 --> 01:40:04,681
shows up on a on a vehicle?

3579
01:40:04,681 --> 01:40:07,681
Stop it. Probably not. Correct.

3580
01:40:08,318 --> 01:40:10,487
Well, probably a chance, but I

3581
01:40:10,487 --> 01:40:12,289
mean, what we did, we kind of

3582
01:40:12,289 --> 01:40:14,658
isolated the ShotSpotter and

3583
01:40:14,658 --> 01:40:15,759
made that specific, uh, on

3584
01:40:15,759 --> 01:40:17,394
those particular sides. So

3585
01:40:17,394 --> 01:40:19,429
where you see the eight, eight

3586
01:40:19,429 --> 01:40:21,650
weapons that were seized, that

3587
01:40:21,650 --> 01:40:21,965
was specifically to

3588
01:40:21,965 --> 01:40:22,967
ShotSpotter.

3589
01:40:22,967 --> 01:40:23,466
Gotcha. Because I

3590
01:40:23,466 --> 01:40:24,368
m just trying

3591
01:40:24,368 --> 01:40:24,701
to get a collective total

3592
01:40:24,701 --> 01:40:25,536
because that

3593
01:40:25,536 --> 01:40:25,702
s a lot of guns.

3594
01:40:25,702 --> 01:40:26,670
It

3595
01:40:26,670 --> 01:40:28,438
s coming off the street

3596
01:40:28,438 --> 01:40:31,375
between what I saw from the

3597
01:40:31,375 --> 01:40:32,750
juvenile report, which was, um,

3598
01:40:32,750 --> 01:40:33,176
and I don

3599
01:40:33,176 --> 01:40:34,745
t know if if the

3600
01:40:34,745 --> 01:40:36,647
public is tracking that, but

3601
01:40:36,647 --> 01:40:37,881
cities across the country, I

3602
01:40:37,881 --> 01:40:39,683
talked to mayors all the time.

3603
01:40:39,683 --> 01:40:41,518
There has been an influx of

3604
01:40:41,518 --> 01:40:42,920
guns in the availability of

3605
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:43,870
guns. And this is huge that

3606
01:40:43,870 --> 01:40:43,320
you

3607
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:44,922
re you

3608
01:40:44,922 --> 01:40:46,922
re scoring, you

3609
01:40:47,824 --> 01:40:47,992
know, 130, 40 guns in traffic.

3610
01:40:47,992 --> 01:40:48,659
You

3611
01:40:48,659 --> 01:40:49,259
re getting some from

3612
01:40:49,259 --> 01:40:49,560
ShotSpotter. You

3613
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:50,995
re getting

3614
01:40:50,995 --> 01:40:52,362
others from from other sources.

3615
01:40:52,362 --> 01:40:54,164
So you want to speak to that.

3616
01:40:54,164 --> 01:40:54,331
So in terms of this so let

3617
01:40:54,331 --> 01:40:56,331
s

3618
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:56,734
say for this traffic stop. So

3619
01:40:56,734 --> 01:40:57,835
I

3620
01:40:57,835 --> 01:41:00,771
ll give you an example. You

3621
01:41:00,771 --> 01:41:02,740
could have a an alert that that

3622
01:41:02,740 --> 01:41:06,343
goes off on the street here in

3623
01:41:06,343 --> 01:41:08,743
Fayetteville. Um and officers

3624
01:41:09,613 --> 01:41:11,448
respond to that alert. And

3625
01:41:11,448 --> 01:41:12,115
within the alert there was a

3626
01:41:12,115 --> 01:41:12,583
uh, maybe let

3627
01:41:12,583 --> 01:41:14,552
s say there was a

3628
01:41:14,552 --> 01:41:16,530
non woman call that accompanied

3629
01:41:16,530 --> 01:41:18,550
it and say, hey, there was a a

3630
01:41:18,550 --> 01:41:19,990
vehicle, um,n this area

3631
01:41:19,990 --> 01:41:21,959
looking, you know, stopping.

3632
01:41:21,959 --> 01:41:25,930
And so then we have a vehicle

3633
01:41:25,930 --> 01:41:27,231
that would, um, respond. And in

3634
01:41:27,231 --> 01:41:29,967
the course of responding to

3635
01:41:29,967 --> 01:41:30,934
that ShotSpotter alert, they

3636
01:41:30,934 --> 01:41:32,803
went ahead and stopped this

3637
01:41:32,803 --> 01:41:34,371
vehicle. Gotcha. So then now

3638
01:41:34,371 --> 01:41:35,973
you stop that vehicle, and then

3639
01:41:35,973 --> 01:41:38,209
now you determine that it was a

3640
01:41:38,209 --> 01:41:41,209
crime, whether, uh, related to

3641
01:41:41,879 --> 01:41:43,647
a break in or possible, um,

3642
01:41:43,647 --> 01:41:45,182
other, uh, possession of

3643
01:41:45,182 --> 01:41:46,851
marijuana or anything in there.

3644
01:41:46,851 --> 01:41:50,451
And then now you recover a

3645
01:41:50,888 --> 01:41:53,324
weapon. So now that particular

3646
01:41:53,324 --> 01:41:53,958
incident is included in all

3647
01:41:53,958 --> 01:41:54,759
these traffic.

3648
01:41:54,759 --> 01:41:56,227
Right? I understand.

3649
01:41:56,227 --> 01:41:57,662
I understand, but you also have

3650
01:41:57,662 --> 01:41:58,830
what we have the the

3651
01:41:58,830 --> 01:41:59,797
ShotSpotter. So we

3652
01:41:59,797 --> 01:42:01,797
ll do was

3653
01:42:01,799 --> 01:42:03,267
tie that specifically to that

3654
01:42:03,267 --> 01:42:05,203
which is that separate slide.

3655
01:42:05,203 --> 01:42:07,304
But I would say that all that

3656
01:42:07,304 --> 01:42:09,507
data is encompassed in the

3657
01:42:09,507 --> 01:42:12,343
traffic stop report. That MAY

3658
01:42:12,343 --> 01:42:13,978
have been, um, uh, under or

3659
01:42:13,978 --> 01:42:15,814
from a ShotSpotter alert.

3660
01:42:15,814 --> 01:42:16,130
Gotcha. All right. Well, um,

3661
01:42:16,130 --> 01:42:16,781
that

3662
01:42:16,781 --> 01:42:18,316
s all the questions I

3663
01:42:18,316 --> 01:42:20,351
have. I, I just think that, you

3664
01:42:20,351 --> 01:42:20,918
know, and then, uh, I guess the

3665
01:42:20,918 --> 01:42:21,653
last piece, I

3666
01:42:21,653 --> 01:42:24,653
ll say, I want to

3667
01:42:24,722 --> 01:42:26,900
I want to one, um, publicly,

3668
01:42:26,900 --> 01:42:27,826
uh, commend the participation

3669
01:42:27,826 --> 01:42:29,360
of the parents. Right. That

3670
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:31,329
that in the curfew, there was a

3671
01:42:31,329 --> 01:42:33,799
lot of concern about that. But

3672
01:42:33,799 --> 01:42:34,466
what we see in the numbers,

3673
01:42:34,466 --> 01:42:35,133
again, numbers don

3674
01:42:35,133 --> 01:42:37,133
t have an

3675
01:42:39,136 --> 01:42:42,136
opinion. And, uh, that, um,

3676
01:42:42,173 --> 01:42:44,573
drug seizures are up 70%,

3677
01:42:45,444 --> 01:42:48,444
weapons up, uh, 105%. So in

3678
01:42:48,814 --> 01:42:51,182
other words, from 19 to 39, uh,

3679
01:42:51,182 --> 01:42:53,318
weapons from 19 last year to 39

3680
01:42:53,318 --> 01:42:56,387
this year. Um, and that, uh,

3681
01:42:56,387 --> 01:42:58,456
break break ins are down 31%.

3682
01:42:58,456 --> 01:43:01,426
Uh, and uh, motor vehicles are

3683
01:43:01,426 --> 01:43:02,527
down 51%. So, uh, thank you. To

3684
01:43:02,527 --> 01:43:04,563
the parents that are

3685
01:43:04,563 --> 01:43:06,464
participating to just help us

3686
01:43:06,464 --> 01:43:08,766
help keep some accountability

3687
01:43:08,766 --> 01:43:10,680
in place. And and thank you to

3688
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:10,201
and the way this fits in and

3689
01:43:10,201 --> 01:43:10,402
I

3690
01:43:10,402 --> 01:43:11,270
ll, I

3691
01:43:11,270 --> 01:43:13,237
ll get ready to pass

3692
01:43:13,237 --> 01:43:14,839
the mic over to my colleagues.

3693
01:43:14,839 --> 01:43:15,873
But the way this fits into the

3694
01:43:15,873 --> 01:43:17,842
overall scheme of things, the

3695
01:43:17,842 --> 01:43:20,178
way your departments work

3696
01:43:20,178 --> 01:43:23,480
together, is that also, MR.

3697
01:43:23,480 --> 01:43:25,283
Jones is going around the city,

3698
01:43:25,283 --> 01:43:27,886
uh, creating programs that are

3699
01:43:27,886 --> 01:43:29,421
alternatives for these kids.

3700
01:43:29,421 --> 01:43:30,322
Uh, or some of our people in

3701
01:43:30,322 --> 01:43:31,557
this community that have

3702
01:43:31,557 --> 01:43:32,900
alternatives. So it

3703
01:43:32,900 --> 01:43:33,291
s working

3704
01:43:33,291 --> 01:43:34,626
together. Thank you. And good,

3705
01:43:34,626 --> 01:43:36,494
good, good work for and thank

3706
01:43:36,494 --> 01:43:36,628
you for the report tonight. So

3707
01:43:36,628 --> 01:43:37,729
I

3708
01:43:37,729 --> 01:43:38,964
ll go to, uh, Council Member

3709
01:43:38,964 --> 01:43:39,998
McNair for the first round. And

3710
01:43:39,998 --> 01:43:41,320
then we have second round

3711
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:41,166
lights.

3712
01:43:41,166 --> 01:43:42,467
I

3713
01:43:42,467 --> 01:43:44,200
m ready to make a motion.

3714
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:45,604
Okay, let me let me catch your

3715
01:43:45,604 --> 01:43:47,239
colleagues. Mayor Pro tem.

3716
01:43:47,239 --> 01:43:48,940
Thank you, MR. Mayor. Um, I

3717
01:43:48,940 --> 01:43:50,943
just had a comment and one

3718
01:43:50,943 --> 01:43:52,845
question that I forgot. Uh, we

3719
01:43:52,845 --> 01:43:54,713
were talking about SROs, and I

3720
01:43:54,713 --> 01:43:57,216
had an opportunity to speak to

3721
01:43:57,216 --> 01:43:58,918
Jack Britt students and 71st

3722
01:43:58,918 --> 01:44:00,386
students this year. I talked to

3723
01:44:00,386 --> 01:44:01,820
the principal, Doctor Tillman

3724
01:44:01,820 --> 01:44:03,756
and Jack Britt and Doctor King

3725
01:44:03,756 --> 01:44:05,524
over at Cindy. First. They

3726
01:44:05,524 --> 01:44:06,250
applaud the SROs in the great

3727
01:44:06,250 --> 01:44:07,250
jobs that they

3728
01:44:07,250 --> 01:44:09,425
re doing. When I

3729
01:44:09,628 --> 01:44:11,730
spoke to 71st High school, uh,

3730
01:44:11,730 --> 01:44:13,499
seniors during their graduation

3731
01:44:13,499 --> 01:44:15,467
practice, the sro was at the

3732
01:44:15,467 --> 01:44:16,802
door giving out pounds to all

3733
01:44:16,802 --> 01:44:18,303
300 students that was

3734
01:44:18,303 --> 01:44:19,405
graduating that year. I thought

3735
01:44:19,405 --> 01:44:20,172
that was a testament to the

3736
01:44:20,172 --> 01:44:20,973
great job that they

3737
01:44:20,973 --> 01:44:22,541
re doing.

3738
01:44:22,541 --> 01:44:23,643
Uh, speaking of schools, my

3739
01:44:23,643 --> 01:44:26,378
question I forgot to ask

3740
01:44:26,378 --> 01:44:28,470
earlier is we had a battalion

3741
01:44:28,470 --> 01:44:29,381
of CEOs coming here about some

3742
01:44:29,381 --> 01:44:31,117
complaints a couple of months

3743
01:44:31,117 --> 01:44:31,750
ago. Have all their concerns

3744
01:44:31,750 --> 01:44:31,983
been addressed? I can

3745
01:44:31,983 --> 01:44:33,319
t even

3746
01:44:33,319 --> 01:44:34,854
remember what they were.

3747
01:44:34,854 --> 01:44:35,854
The concern is that the

3748
01:44:35,854 --> 01:44:38,254
speeding, the careless and

3749
01:44:38,323 --> 01:44:40,426
reckless driving in the the,

3750
01:44:40,426 --> 01:44:42,494
um, during Norton school zones

3751
01:44:42,494 --> 01:44:44,396
so that that that issue is, is

3752
01:44:44,396 --> 01:44:45,965
still being addressed in terms

3753
01:44:45,965 --> 01:44:48,601
of with our traffic department

3754
01:44:48,601 --> 01:44:50,690
and enforcement out there. Now,

3755
01:44:50,690 --> 01:44:52,710
the commission just recently

3756
01:44:52,710 --> 01:44:53,672
met and, um, we

3757
01:44:53,672 --> 01:44:56,410
re on track to

3758
01:44:56,410 --> 01:44:57,377
get the approval with all the

3759
01:44:57,377 --> 01:44:59,110
standard operating procedures

3760
01:44:59,110 --> 01:45:00,212
and everything else and how it

3761
01:45:00,212 --> 01:45:02,381
will be consistent throughout

3762
01:45:02,381 --> 01:45:04,851
the state. Um, by JANUARY is

3763
01:45:04,851 --> 01:45:07,253
what we believe. Um, yeah,

3764
01:45:07,253 --> 01:45:09,188
JANUARY of this upcoming year.

3765
01:45:09,188 --> 01:45:10,389
Um, we believe that the

3766
01:45:10,389 --> 01:45:12,392
approvals and everything else

3767
01:45:12,392 --> 01:45:13,192
will be done by the commission,

3768
01:45:13,192 --> 01:45:13,860
and then we

3769
01:45:13,860 --> 01:45:15,962
ll be able to

3770
01:45:15,962 --> 01:45:17,960
implement the school zones and

3771
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:18,631
the red light cameras.

3772
01:45:18,631 --> 01:45:19,932
And how many Tecos are we short

3773
01:45:19,932 --> 01:45:22,332
for this school year?

3774
01:45:22,502 --> 01:45:25,502
So our numbers fluctuate. We

3775
01:45:27,307 --> 01:45:29,410
have about 65, um, on average,

3776
01:45:29,410 --> 01:45:29,209
and those fluctuate because

3777
01:45:29,209 --> 01:45:30,843
it

3778
01:45:30,843 --> 01:45:31,277
s a part time position. So

3779
01:45:31,277 --> 01:45:32,111
therefore we

3780
01:45:32,111 --> 01:45:32,277
re always if

3781
01:45:32,277 --> 01:45:33,812
you

3782
01:45:33,812 --> 01:45:35,281
ll see um regarding when

3783
01:45:35,281 --> 01:45:35,481
our, our our turnover, that

3784
01:45:35,481 --> 01:45:37,481
s

3785
01:45:37,583 --> 01:45:39,983
probably our highest turnover

3786
01:45:39,986 --> 01:45:41,354
within the department. Um, for

3787
01:45:41,354 --> 01:45:42,655
one reason or the other.

3788
01:45:42,655 --> 01:45:43,823
But if we have residents that

3789
01:45:43,823 --> 01:45:45,291
look for some part time work

3790
01:45:45,291 --> 01:45:46,325
for $20 an hour, we can show

3791
01:45:46,325 --> 01:45:47,693
enough. Use your manpower.

3792
01:45:47,693 --> 01:45:49,829
Thank you. Chief. Yes, sir.

3793
01:45:49,829 --> 01:45:50,997
All right. Councilmember

3794
01:45:50,997 --> 01:45:52,997
McMillan, second round.

3795
01:45:53,132 --> 01:45:54,601
Yep. Thank you, MR. Mayor. Um,

3796
01:45:54,601 --> 01:45:56,469
chief, one of the things that

3797
01:45:56,469 --> 01:45:58,204
kept me engaged, uh, over the

3798
01:45:58,204 --> 01:46:00,600
years with council was pushing

3799
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,308
to ensure we had a humane

3800
01:46:02,308 --> 01:46:04,277
response, uh, to to crime, to

3801
01:46:04,277 --> 01:46:06,677
mental health response, uh,

3802
01:46:06,846 --> 01:46:09,246
mental health crisis. Um,

3803
01:46:09,883 --> 01:46:12,283
according to police scorecard

3804
01:46:13,530 --> 01:46:15,488
scorecard.Org. Um, we remain

3805
01:46:15,488 --> 01:46:16,857
and and have been for a while.

3806
01:46:16,857 --> 01:46:18,391
Uh, near the top of the list in

3807
01:46:18,391 --> 01:46:20,693
terms of small cities in North

3808
01:46:20,693 --> 01:46:23,693
Carolina and a statistic called

3809
01:46:24,463 --> 01:46:26,733
a deadly force per arrest. Uh,

3810
01:46:26,733 --> 01:46:27,433
and, you know, there

3811
01:46:27,433 --> 01:46:28,134
s there

3812
01:46:28,134 --> 01:46:29,502
s

3813
01:46:29,502 --> 01:46:31,671
some people who have died over

3814
01:46:31,671 --> 01:46:33,340
the years. Uh, Jada Johnson is

3815
01:46:33,340 --> 01:46:35,542
one of them. Adrian Roberts and

3816
01:46:35,542 --> 01:46:37,110
another one, Joshua Oxendine.

3817
01:46:37,110 --> 01:46:38,277
Uh, and questions about whether

3818
01:46:38,277 --> 01:46:41,248
or not we could have had a

3819
01:46:41,248 --> 01:46:43,350
different response. Uh, when I

3820
01:46:43,350 --> 01:46:45,118
see the numbers of use of force

3821
01:46:45,118 --> 01:46:46,453
going up, uh, from last year,

3822
01:46:46,453 --> 01:46:48,288
this year, of course, I have

3823
01:46:48,288 --> 01:46:48,655
that same concern. I wonder

3824
01:46:48,655 --> 01:46:49,622
that we didn

3825
01:46:49,622 --> 01:46:51,958
t move far enough

3826
01:46:51,958 --> 01:46:52,225
policy wise to address that.

3827
01:46:52,225 --> 01:46:53,590
Um, I

3828
01:46:53,590 --> 01:46:55,459
m wondering what your

3829
01:46:56,296 --> 01:46:59,896
take is on the increase. I

3830
01:47:00,334 --> 01:47:02,803
think it was from 37, 37 to 47,

3831
01:47:02,803 --> 01:47:04,104
27% increase in use of force.

3832
01:47:04,104 --> 01:47:05,606
What does that mean for us as a

3833
01:47:05,606 --> 01:47:06,473
city? And what are we doing to

3834
01:47:06,473 --> 01:47:08,473
to address that?

3835
01:47:08,475 --> 01:47:10,430
Okay. So I can start with I

3836
01:47:10,430 --> 01:47:11,678
know today we actually had a

3837
01:47:11,678 --> 01:47:13,114
meeting with Chief Wallace and

3838
01:47:13,114 --> 01:47:15,810
Officers, Office of Community

3839
01:47:15,810 --> 01:47:16,750
Safety Director Jones, and

3840
01:47:16,750 --> 01:47:18,319
coming up with plans and

3841
01:47:18,319 --> 01:47:20,719
strategies for the alternative

3842
01:47:21,922 --> 01:47:23,657
response. So as, uh, OKs gets

3843
01:47:23,657 --> 01:47:23,824
their teams together, then

3844
01:47:23,824 --> 01:47:25,590
we

3845
01:47:25,590 --> 01:47:27,594
re going to have a better

3846
01:47:27,594 --> 01:47:29,163
approach in addressing, uh,

3847
01:47:29,163 --> 01:47:30,530
some of these issues with those

3848
01:47:30,530 --> 01:47:32,265
that are in mental health

3849
01:47:32,265 --> 01:47:33,767
crisis. But unfortunately,

3850
01:47:33,767 --> 01:47:35,502
right now, when those calls

3851
01:47:35,502 --> 01:47:37,237
come out, we are the only

3852
01:47:37,237 --> 01:47:40,140
answer until we can get some of

3853
01:47:40,140 --> 01:47:42,776
these other resources in place.

3854
01:47:42,776 --> 01:47:45,579
I would also, uh, state in

3855
01:47:45,579 --> 01:47:48,448
terms of there are multiple,

3856
01:47:48,448 --> 01:47:50,848
multiple incidents that occur

3857
01:47:50,984 --> 01:47:53,984
every day in this city

3858
01:47:54,221 --> 01:47:54,655
regarding mental health crisis.

3859
01:47:54,655 --> 01:47:56,230
But you don

3860
01:47:56,230 --> 01:47:56,557
t hear about them

3861
01:47:56,557 --> 01:47:57,224
and you don

3862
01:47:57,224 --> 01:47:58,692
t hear about them

3863
01:47:58,692 --> 01:48:00,527
because been successful

3864
01:48:00,527 --> 01:48:02,897
in being able to mitigate those

3865
01:48:02,897 --> 01:48:04,598
situations. So the ones that

3866
01:48:04,598 --> 01:48:06,533
you do here are the ones where

3867
01:48:06,533 --> 01:48:08,402
we have the unfortunate, uh,

3868
01:48:08,402 --> 01:48:09,603
situations such as that you

3869
01:48:09,603 --> 01:48:10,137
relayed, but there

3870
01:48:10,137 --> 01:48:11,672
s always

3871
01:48:11,672 --> 01:48:13,674
some other circumstances that

3872
01:48:13,674 --> 01:48:16,430
not everybody is aware of also.

3873
01:48:16,430 --> 01:48:20,243
But I will tell you that we

3874
01:48:20,347 --> 01:48:21,916
have a, a an excellent, um, uh,

3875
01:48:21,916 --> 01:48:23,684
officers, in terms of how we

3876
01:48:23,684 --> 01:48:25,852
deal with these situations.

3877
01:48:25,852 --> 01:48:28,989
Just this past week, we had,

3878
01:48:28,989 --> 01:48:31,292
uh, barricaded subjects. You

3879
01:48:31,292 --> 01:48:32,993
know, no one knows about this,

3880
01:48:32,993 --> 01:48:35,830
but we deal with that, and we

3881
01:48:35,830 --> 01:48:37,432
are are utilizing our, our

3882
01:48:37,432 --> 01:48:38,933
particular, uh, tactics and

3883
01:48:38,933 --> 01:48:41,936
everything to make sure that we

3884
01:48:41,936 --> 01:48:43,871
have a safe outcome for our

3885
01:48:43,871 --> 01:48:46,473
officers as well as those in

3886
01:48:46,473 --> 01:48:49,176
those crisis. So it happens so

3887
01:48:49,176 --> 01:48:50,978
many times, but our public is

3888
01:48:50,978 --> 01:48:54,282
unaware of it, and we deal with

3889
01:48:54,282 --> 01:48:56,851
that on a day, day by day, uh,

3890
01:48:56,851 --> 01:48:59,253
occasion. So, um, I believe,

3891
01:48:59,253 --> 01:49:01,456
you know, we, we do the best we

3892
01:49:01,456 --> 01:49:03,258
can, but, you know, future and

3893
01:49:03,258 --> 01:49:04,692
future wise with when Oaks gets

3894
01:49:04,692 --> 01:49:05,527
on, you know, get their

3895
01:49:05,527 --> 01:49:06,494
staffing. We

3896
01:49:06,494 --> 01:49:07,762
re looking forward

3897
01:49:07,762 --> 01:49:10,398
to being able to address those

3898
01:49:10,398 --> 01:49:11,650
issues in even better ways as

3899
01:49:11,650 --> 01:49:13,650
well.

3900
01:49:13,368 --> 01:49:15,690
Right? Yeah, I appreciate that.

3901
01:49:15,690 --> 01:49:16,570
Looking forward to tracking the

3902
01:49:16,570 --> 01:49:18,970
numbers and seeing those

3903
01:49:20,508 --> 01:49:21,375
numbers come down. Um, um,

3904
01:49:21,375 --> 01:49:21,709
downrange. There

3905
01:49:21,709 --> 01:49:23,478
s something

3906
01:49:23,478 --> 01:49:25,213
called storyboard reporting,

3907
01:49:25,213 --> 01:49:27,715
uh, where are we get in this,

3908
01:49:27,715 --> 01:49:29,518
uh, this habit of holding up

3909
01:49:29,518 --> 01:49:31,918
examples. Good, good news

3910
01:49:33,870 --> 01:49:35,123
stories, anecdotes, and maybe

3911
01:49:35,123 --> 01:49:37,491
emphasize those a little bit

3912
01:49:37,491 --> 01:49:39,427
more than the the the data. Uh,

3913
01:49:39,427 --> 01:49:40,762
would love to continue to hear

3914
01:49:40,762 --> 01:49:42,960
the good news stories about the

3915
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,333
things that your, your force is

3916
01:49:45,333 --> 01:49:47,502
doing on the streets. Um, uh,

3917
01:49:47,502 --> 01:49:50,772
and especially a shift in our

3918
01:49:50,772 --> 01:49:52,507
approach to how we engage with

3919
01:49:52,507 --> 01:49:52,974
citizens. But also, we

3920
01:49:52,974 --> 01:49:54,974
d love

3921
01:49:55,944 --> 01:49:57,745
to see data like use of force,

3922
01:49:57,745 --> 01:49:59,114
uh, that, that matches, you

3923
01:49:59,114 --> 01:50:00,582
know, that shift in terms of

3924
01:50:00,582 --> 01:50:00,782
policy and council member.

3925
01:50:00,782 --> 01:50:02,317
Time

3926
01:50:02,317 --> 01:50:04,185
s up. Second round. All

3927
01:50:04,185 --> 01:50:04,519
right. Uh, Councilmember Jones,

3928
01:50:04,519 --> 01:50:05,554
I think it

3929
01:50:05,554 --> 01:50:07,356
s your first round.

3930
01:50:07,356 --> 01:50:08,222
Is your light on? Are you ready

3931
01:50:08,222 --> 01:50:08,891
to vote?

3932
01:50:08,891 --> 01:50:09,357
You ready to vote?

3933
01:50:09,357 --> 01:50:10,792
Oh, no.

3934
01:50:10,792 --> 01:50:12,600
Just a quick, quick. Yeah, I

3935
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:12,227
was waiting.

3936
01:50:12,227 --> 01:50:13,280
She

3937
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:14,796
s got a motion.

3938
01:50:14,796 --> 01:50:17,990
Okay. All right. Very quickly.

3939
01:50:17,990 --> 01:50:18,366
Uh, I just wanted to find out,

3940
01:50:18,366 --> 01:50:20,668
uh, chief, about your the

3941
01:50:20,668 --> 01:50:22,370
mental health support for your

3942
01:50:22,370 --> 01:50:23,705
staff. I mean, I know you all

3943
01:50:23,705 --> 01:50:26,475
do. A you encounter a lot of

3944
01:50:26,475 --> 01:50:28,244
things. Uh, and your officers

3945
01:50:28,244 --> 01:50:29,611
and other staff, they have

3946
01:50:29,611 --> 01:50:30,712
families, too, that they have

3947
01:50:30,712 --> 01:50:32,548
to go on to. So can you just

3948
01:50:32,548 --> 01:50:33,649
speak to how what is that look

3949
01:50:33,649 --> 01:50:34,916
like right now? And I know

3950
01:50:34,916 --> 01:50:35,950
there MAY be some opportunities

3951
01:50:35,950 --> 01:50:37,118
in the future, but what what

3952
01:50:37,118 --> 01:50:38,420
does that look like?

3953
01:50:38,420 --> 01:50:40,922
Right now? We have our

3954
01:50:40,922 --> 01:50:43,322
chaplains program. Uh, whenever

3955
01:50:44,159 --> 01:50:46,161
we have a critical incident, we

3956
01:50:46,161 --> 01:50:46,362
we call our chaplains, and they

3957
01:50:46,362 --> 01:50:47,830
they

3958
01:50:47,830 --> 01:50:50,265
ll come out 2 or 3:00 in

3959
01:50:50,265 --> 01:50:51,967
the morning, um, when we have,

3960
01:50:51,967 --> 01:50:53,668
you know, critical incidents

3961
01:50:53,668 --> 01:50:56,400
that officers are dealing with.

3962
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:57,773
And so we, we have that

3963
01:50:57,773 --> 01:50:59,675
partnership with them. We also

3964
01:50:59,675 --> 01:51:02,311
have our peer support program

3965
01:51:02,311 --> 01:51:04,413
as well, where we monitor how

3966
01:51:04,413 --> 01:51:05,848
many critical incidents that

3967
01:51:05,848 --> 01:51:06,982
actually happens with our

3968
01:51:06,982 --> 01:51:07,683
officers. And then we

3969
01:51:07,683 --> 01:51:09,351
ll make

3970
01:51:09,351 --> 01:51:11,860
sure and reach out to them to

3971
01:51:11,860 --> 01:51:12,555
get them, uh, any counseling

3972
01:51:12,555 --> 01:51:13,756
services or requests for

3973
01:51:13,756 --> 01:51:16,156
counseling services. But you

3974
01:51:16,191 --> 01:51:18,260
also know we received a grant

3975
01:51:18,260 --> 01:51:19,940
for a licensed cli social

3976
01:51:19,940 --> 01:51:20,960
worker. So we

3977
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:22,331
re in the process

3978
01:51:22,331 --> 01:51:23,499
of, of getting that that all

3979
01:51:23,499 --> 01:51:25,601
laid out so that we can do

3980
01:51:25,601 --> 01:51:27,769
that. Advertisement and have

3981
01:51:27,769 --> 01:51:28,570
that person on, on, on board

3982
01:51:28,570 --> 01:51:29,805
full time.

3983
01:51:29,805 --> 01:51:30,239
Thank you so much. Thank you,

3984
01:51:30,239 --> 01:51:31,407
MR. Mayor.

3985
01:51:31,407 --> 01:51:32,540
Yes, sir. COUNCILMAN Hondros,

3986
01:51:32,540 --> 01:51:33,876
first round.

3987
01:51:33,876 --> 01:51:35,544
Yes, sir. Thank you, MR. Mayor.

3988
01:51:35,544 --> 01:51:36,579
Thank you. Chief, um, and my

3989
01:51:36,579 --> 01:51:37,680
colleague to my right here

3990
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:39,515
stole my thunder a little bit.

3991
01:51:39,515 --> 01:51:40,883
But this this question was for,

3992
01:51:40,883 --> 01:51:43,386
uh, Chief Dove and and Chief

3993
01:51:43,386 --> 01:51:45,421
Brian, are we doing all that we

3994
01:51:45,421 --> 01:51:47,857
can to support our women and

3995
01:51:47,857 --> 01:51:49,191
men in uniform? And as my

3996
01:51:49,191 --> 01:51:51,591
colleague mentioned, um, you

3997
01:51:52,261 --> 01:51:54,763
know, we dial 911, you know, in

3998
01:51:54,763 --> 01:51:56,565
the worst moments of our life,

3999
01:51:56,565 --> 01:51:58,668
right? And you guys respond and

4000
01:51:58,668 --> 01:51:59,568
you deal with that. So as a

4001
01:51:59,568 --> 01:52:01,937
council, are we doing

4002
01:52:01,937 --> 01:52:04,139
everything we can to support,

4003
01:52:04,139 --> 01:52:05,875
um, again, the men and women

4004
01:52:05,875 --> 01:52:07,100
and men in the uniform and, and

4005
01:52:07,100 --> 01:52:07,310
our number one operators, I

4006
01:52:07,310 --> 01:52:09,310
mean, they

4007
01:52:09,678 --> 01:52:12,215
re on the call that

4008
01:52:12,215 --> 01:52:14,615
sometimes ends tragically. So

4009
01:52:15,718 --> 01:52:18,200
what can we do to support, um,

4010
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:19,855
both agencies. And again, the

4011
01:52:19,855 --> 01:52:20,723
nine, 11 operators.

4012
01:52:20,723 --> 01:52:21,224
I would say it

4013
01:52:21,224 --> 01:52:22,892
s one of those

4014
01:52:22,892 --> 01:52:25,270
things where when we we come to

4015
01:52:25,270 --> 01:52:27,597
you and request the support,

4016
01:52:27,597 --> 01:52:29,365
where resources that, you know,

4017
01:52:29,365 --> 01:52:31,267
and I would say, you know, just

4018
01:52:31,267 --> 01:52:33,200
continue and supporting us. Um,

4019
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:35,237
but it takes more than council

4020
01:52:35,237 --> 01:52:37,707
the community, the community is

4021
01:52:37,707 --> 01:52:39,442
critical in terms of the morale

4022
01:52:39,442 --> 01:52:41,411
of our officers. So, for

4023
01:52:41,411 --> 01:52:43,179
example, uh, this weekend, on

4024
01:52:43,179 --> 01:52:45,148
Saturday, uh, Lewis Chapel

4025
01:52:45,148 --> 01:52:45,314
Missionary Baptist Church, the

4026
01:52:45,314 --> 01:52:47,314
men

4027
01:52:47,717 --> 01:52:48,952
s ministry, they served our

4028
01:52:48,952 --> 01:52:51,154
officers, all our first

4029
01:52:51,154 --> 01:52:51,988
responders, fire fighters. This

4030
01:52:51,988 --> 01:52:54,190
weekend. They served them

4031
01:52:54,190 --> 01:52:56,726
lunch. And, you know, the the

4032
01:52:56,726 --> 01:52:58,995
morale. And just to have, um,

4033
01:52:58,995 --> 01:53:00,530
you know, the community come in

4034
01:53:00,530 --> 01:53:02,432
on their, you know, on their

4035
01:53:02,432 --> 01:53:04,100
own dime and, and on their time

4036
01:53:04,100 --> 01:53:05,435
off to come and serve those

4037
01:53:05,435 --> 01:53:06,669
officers. So those type of

4038
01:53:06,669 --> 01:53:08,438
things are what we need from

4039
01:53:08,438 --> 01:53:08,872
our community. And it

4040
01:53:08,872 --> 01:53:10,872
s very

4041
01:53:11,740 --> 01:53:11,341
much appreciated. So I can

4042
01:53:11,341 --> 01:53:13,341
t,

4043
01:53:13,343 --> 01:53:13,576
you know, just tell you in, in

4044
01:53:13,576 --> 01:53:14,344
what we

4045
01:53:14,344 --> 01:53:15,912
re doing in terms

4046
01:53:15,912 --> 01:53:17,614
continue to having support.

4047
01:53:17,614 --> 01:53:20,500
When you see our officer, we

4048
01:53:20,500 --> 01:53:21,384
get we continuously get, uh,

4049
01:53:21,384 --> 01:53:23,319
atta boys, what we call in the

4050
01:53:23,319 --> 01:53:24,687
military where people call or

4051
01:53:24,687 --> 01:53:26,790
they send. I just received a

4052
01:53:26,790 --> 01:53:28,258
letter today where people in

4053
01:53:28,258 --> 01:53:29,592
the community, they send in and

4054
01:53:29,592 --> 01:53:31,561
let us know, and we make sure

4055
01:53:31,561 --> 01:53:34,364
and relay that message to the

4056
01:53:34,364 --> 01:53:36,660
officers. We had a call from an

4057
01:53:36,660 --> 01:53:37,968
elderly man that actually was

4058
01:53:37,968 --> 01:53:39,937
talking about our cadets that

4059
01:53:39,937 --> 01:53:41,938
stopped and helped him. Uh, two

4060
01:53:41,938 --> 01:53:44,341
weeks ago, he left a voicemail.

4061
01:53:44,341 --> 01:53:46,710
So we were making sure. So when

4062
01:53:46,710 --> 01:53:48,778
we get these calls, all of that

4063
01:53:48,778 --> 01:53:51,470
helps in terms of the morale

4064
01:53:51,470 --> 01:53:52,616
and the the mental health, uh,

4065
01:53:52,616 --> 01:53:53,883
capacity in terms of knowing

4066
01:53:53,883 --> 01:53:57,530
that, hey, you know, that your

4067
01:53:57,530 --> 01:53:58,421
community has your back.

4068
01:53:58,421 --> 01:54:00,900
Real quick, MR. Mayor, since

4069
01:54:00,900 --> 01:54:01,758

week or week before last.

4077
01:54:08,399 --> 01:54:08,865
So we didn

4079
01:54:10,330 --> 01:54:12,690
because it happened during this

4080
01:54:12,690 --> 01:54:13,303

4082
01:54:13,803 --> 01:54:14,904

I just wanted you to know that

4084

4261
01:59:13,239 --> 01:59:13,406

4273
01:59:29,255 --> 01:59:32,855
Not mad with that. All right.

4274
01:59:33,559 --> 01:59:36,290
Council any um, uh, comments or

4275
01:59:36,290 --> 01:59:38,264
questions. I think we covered a

4276
01:59:38,264 --> 01:59:40,800
little bit upstairs, but but

4277
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,800
basically, um, you MAY have

4278
01:59:44,570 --> 01:59:46,172
covered it. Um, tonight, uh,

4279
01:59:46,172 --> 01:59:48,108
this is the approval of this,

4280
01:59:48,108 --> 01:59:49,209
uh, MR. Yates, was there a

4281
01:59:49,209 --> 01:59:52,209
component that you needed to

4282
01:59:53,713 --> 01:59:55,882
explain or, um, no. Okay.

4283
01:59:55,882 --> 01:59:56,382
Like MISS Murray, to address

4284
01:59:56,382 --> 01:59:57,516
some of the budget.

4285
01:59:57,516 --> 01:59:58,284
MR. Yates had been the one we

4286
01:59:58,284 --> 01:59:58,751
were working on. How you doing,

4287
01:59:58,751 --> 01:59:58,885
MISS Murray?

4288
01:59:58,885 --> 01:59:59,485
I

4289
01:59:59,485 --> 02:00:01,485
m doing.

4290
02:00:01,988 --> 02:00:03,857
Fine.

4291
02:00:03,857 --> 02:00:04,824
Are there any questions for me?

4292
02:00:04,824 --> 02:00:05,225
Oh, no. I just wanted to make

4293
02:00:05,225 --> 02:00:06,726
sure it wasn

4294
02:00:06,726 --> 02:00:08,194
t. So. Basically,

4295
02:00:08,194 --> 02:00:10,263
uh, with this. This is, uh,

4296
02:00:10,263 --> 02:00:12,465
this is kind of a a new phase

4297
02:00:12,465 --> 02:00:12,699
as well. Site prep it, and and,

4298
02:00:12,699 --> 02:00:13,633
uh, we

4299
02:00:13,633 --> 02:00:15,469
ll move here. I think

4300
02:00:15,469 --> 02:00:16,703
you talked to us about, uh,

4301
02:00:16,703 --> 02:00:17,804
that the expenses related to

4302
02:00:17,804 --> 02:00:20,390
this will be tracked

4303
02:00:20,390 --> 02:00:21,908
separately. And, uh, the, the

4304
02:00:21,908 --> 02:00:23,710
other or the older expenses,

4305
02:00:23,710 --> 02:00:25,212
uh, that that particular

4306
02:00:25,212 --> 02:00:26,779
bucket, uh, for lack of a

4307
02:00:26,779 --> 02:00:28,548
better word, will be reconciled

4308
02:00:28,548 --> 02:00:29,749
and closed out. So this this

4309
02:00:29,749 --> 02:00:31,585
phase will have it separate

4310
02:00:31,585 --> 02:00:32,219
line of expenses and and costs.

4311
02:00:32,219 --> 02:00:32,418
Correct?

4312
02:00:32,418 --> 02:00:33,687
That

4313
02:00:33,687 --> 02:00:33,987
s correct. Okay. We

4314
02:00:33,987 --> 02:00:35,722

02:00:37,491 --> 02:00:38,458

4324
02:00:44,965 --> 02:00:48,565
Thank you, MR. Mayor. Thank you

4325
02:00:48,868 --> 02:00:49,736
Dan. And, uh, cfo. I appreciate

4326
02:00:49,736 --> 02:00:51,400
you all coming up. So the

4327
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:54,400
question I asked of acm

4328
02:00:56,376 --> 02:00:58,110
upstairs was the cpo 20, 1934,

4329
02:00:58,110 --> 02:01:01,611
in our agenda packet, as well

4330
02:01:01,782 --> 02:01:04,284
as cpo 2027 one, um, which is,

4331
02:01:04,284 --> 02:01:06,860
as you stated, closing out. Um,

4332
02:01:06,860 --> 02:01:07,870
cfo Murray, the the old project

4333
02:01:07,870 --> 02:01:08,455
and starting this new one. But

4334
02:01:08,455 --> 02:01:10,223
can you speak a little bit to

4335
02:01:10,223 --> 02:01:11,992
the funding of those numbers?

4336
02:01:11,992 --> 02:01:14,261
Uh, how much have we spent to

4337
02:01:14,261 --> 02:01:14,427
date on that project, the one

4338
02:01:14,427 --> 02:01:15,896
we

4339
02:01:15,896 --> 02:01:17,931
re closing out? How much are

4340
02:01:17,931 --> 02:01:19,666
we transferring over? And, um,

4341
02:01:19,666 --> 02:01:21,666
those thi please?

4342
02:01:24,671 --> 02:01:27,107
Yes. Um, sorry. So, um, the

4343
02:01:27,107 --> 02:01:28,608
original project, when it was

4344
02:01:28,608 --> 02:01:31,608
brought before council, was for

4345
02:01:32,546 --> 02:01:35,516
a total of 11.4 million. Um,

4346
02:01:35,516 --> 02:01:38,185
almost 11.5 of that. We had a

4347
02:01:38,185 --> 02:01:40,585
general fund transfer of 1.2

4348
02:01:41,388 --> 02:01:44,892
ish. Um, and we did a financing

4349
02:01:44,892 --> 02:01:45,590
for 10.3. So of that funding,

4350
02:01:45,590 --> 02:01:47,590
we

4351
02:01:49,931 --> 02:01:51,365
ve spent a little over $7.6

4352
02:01:51,365 --> 02:01:51,766
million. So that

4353
02:01:51,766 --> 02:01:51,898
s what we

4354
02:01:51,898 --> 02:01:53,534
re

4355
02:01:53,534 --> 02:01:55,350
going to be closing out in this

4356
02:01:55,350 --> 02:01:55,169
particular project. And we

4357
02:01:55,169 --> 02:01:56,671
re

4358
02:01:56,671 --> 02:01:59,373
going to transfer the remaining

4359
02:01:59,373 --> 02:02:01,675
funds, which is $3.8 million,

4360
02:02:01,675 --> 02:02:03,744
into a new capital project. Um,

4361
02:02:03,744 --> 02:02:05,179
along with some bond premium

4362
02:02:05,179 --> 02:02:07,414
that we received from the

4363
02:02:07,414 --> 02:02:10,414
issuance of the first tranche

4364
02:02:11,619 --> 02:02:12,987
of the $97 million referendum.

4365
02:02:12,987 --> 02:02:14,388
Um, if you remember, earlier

4366
02:02:14,388 --> 02:02:15,122
this year, we issued $40

4367
02:02:15,122 --> 02:02:15,522
million, and we

4368
02:02:15,522 --> 02:02:17,522
re going to

4369
02:02:17,724 --> 02:02:19,861
take some of that premium. And,

4370
02:02:19,861 --> 02:02:22,630
um, assign it to this

4371
02:02:22,630 --> 02:02:23,298
particular project in order for

4372
02:02:23,298 --> 02:02:24,965
us to move forward.

4373
02:02:24,965 --> 02:02:26,567
In. The premium came from rate

4374
02:02:26,567 --> 02:02:27,802
reductions, and our stellar

4375
02:02:27,802 --> 02:02:30,170
credit. Is that right?

4376
02:02:30,170 --> 02:02:32,173
The premium did not come from

4377
02:02:32,173 --> 02:02:34,975
rate reductions. Okay. Um, the

4378
02:02:34,975 --> 02:02:37,111
bond premium, um, essentially,

4379
02:02:37,111 --> 02:02:39,380
um, when the city, um, decides

4380
02:02:39,380 --> 02:02:41,315
to issue bonds and we issue

4381
02:02:41,315 --> 02:02:42,984
bonds at a premium, that is

4382
02:02:42,984 --> 02:02:45,186
because the rate on our bonds

4383
02:02:45,186 --> 02:02:47,855
is higher than what the market

4384
02:02:47,855 --> 02:02:49,230
is currently. So they give us

4385
02:02:49,230 --> 02:02:50,491
additional money or they pay

4386
02:02:50,491 --> 02:02:52,593
additional money on the face

4387
02:02:52,593 --> 02:02:52,827
value of the bonds. Essentially

4388
02:02:52,827 --> 02:02:54,161
what we

4389
02:02:54,161 --> 02:02:54,461
re doing is we

4390
02:02:54,461 --> 02:02:55,864
re

4391
02:02:55,864 --> 02:02:56,300
getting upfront money, but

4392
02:02:56,300 --> 02:02:57,265
we

4393
02:02:57,265 --> 02:02:59,834
ll pay higher interest rates

4394
02:02:59,834 --> 02:03:02,436
over the life of the bonds.

4395
02:03:02,436 --> 02:03:04,939
Very good. Um, and I also was

4396
02:03:04,939 --> 02:03:06,307
thankful that, um, we had the,

4397
02:03:06,307 --> 02:03:08,610
uh, finally got the website

4398
02:03:08,610 --> 02:03:10,378
page where residents can track

4399
02:03:10,378 --> 02:03:13,180
the progress on the project.

4400
02:03:13,180 --> 02:03:14,816
Will the, um, budget

4401
02:03:14,816 --> 02:03:15,483
information be on that page or

4402
02:03:15,483 --> 02:03:17,483
not?

4403
02:03:17,619 --> 02:03:19,320
I have not looked at the link

4404
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:23,520
for that page, so I will have

4405
02:03:24,325 --> 02:03:25,894
to defer to Dan.

4406
02:03:25,894 --> 02:03:28,296
Very good. Thank you so much.

4407
02:03:28,296 --> 02:03:30,198
Thank you..

4408
02:03:30,198 --> 02:03:30,498
All right, Council, I

4409
02:03:30,498 --> 02:03:32,498
ll look

4410
02:03:40,174 --> 02:03:41,375
to you for action on this.

4411
02:03:41,375 --> 02:03:42,677
Mayor Pro Tem.

4412
02:03:42,677 --> 02:03:43,912
I recommend that we approve

4413
02:03:43,912 --> 02:03:45,880
phase one. MR. Mayor.

4414
02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:47,480
All right. Motion by Mayor Pro

4415
02:03:47,480 --> 02:03:49,584

4416
02:03:49,584 --> 02:03:51,520
Seconded by Davis. Discussion

4417
02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:52,454
on the motion. All right,

4418
02:03:52,454 --> 02:03:56,540
counselor, look to you for your

4419
02:04:00,695 --> 02:04:02,695
votes.

4420
02:04:03,598 --> 02:04:05,598
Thank you. Council.

4421
02:04:06,635 --> 02:04:09,635
All right. All right. Thank
