00:09:07,569 --> 00:09:11,539
licenses. This was submitted by

195
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:13,441
the intergovernmeal relations

196
00:09:11,606 --> 00:09:14,309
department. They're also here to

197
00:09:13,508 --> 00:09:18,746
ask any questions related to

198
00:09:14,409 --> 00:09:19,447
is item. With that, do my

199
00:09:18,813 --> 00:09:20,081
colleagues have any other

200
00:09:19,514 --> 00:09:28,156
discussion or qutions on this

201
00:09:20,148 --> 00:09:30,191
item? Great. Seeing no further

202
00:09:28,223 --> 00:09:31,826
discuson, I will move approval

203
00:09:30,258 --> 00:09:34,696
of this consent agenda. Can I

204
00:09:31,893 --> 00:09:35,463
get a second?

205
00:09:34,763 --> 00:09:37,532
» second.

206
00:09:35,530 --> 00:09:38,266
» all those in favor say aye.

207
00:09:37,599 --> 00:09:41,636
» aye.

208
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:42,771
» those opposed say nay. That

209
00:09:41,703 --> 00:09:45,674
carries. Now moving on to the

210
00:09:42,838 --> 00:09:48,443
discussion portion of our

211
00:09:45,741 --> 00:09:50,211
agenda. This next item is a

212
00:09:48,510 --> 00:09:51,846
grant application to the united

213
00:09:50,278 --> 00:09:54,615
states department of justice. It

214
00:09:51,913 --> 00:09:57,819
is for the 2026 national

215
00:09:54,682 --> 00:09:58,686
integrated ballistic information

216
00:09:57,886 --> 00:10:03,525
network modernizatn program

217
00:09:58,753 --> 00:10:05,060
known as nibin. I will have mpd

218
00:10:03,592 --> 00:10:22,977
commander kris brown come to

219
00:10:05,127 --> 00:10:38,259
speak more on this item.

220
00:10:23,044 --> 00:10:40,729
» welcome, mmander.

221
00:10:38,326 --> 00:10:42,163
» madam chair, vice chair, and

222
00:10:40,795 --> 00:10:45,066
weome back, and council

223
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:47,068
members, thank you for this

224
00:10:45,133 --> 00:10:51,039
opp

225
00:10:47,135 --> 00:10:54,242
for the grant in the nibin

226
00:10:51,106 --> 00:10:57,545
modernitization program grant.

227
00:10:54,308 --> 00:10:59,648
sorry for my voice. I lost it on

228
00:10:57,612 --> 00:11:03,284
sunday and I haven't found it

229
00:10:59,714 --> 00:11:05,653
yet. The nibin mernization

230
00:11:03,351 --> 00:11:08,156
grant, it's for modernizing the

231
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,424
technology. The doj historically

232
00:11:08,223 --> 00:11:11,560
provided the funds for this, now

233
00:11:09,491 --> 00:11:13,862
it's provided in the way of a

234
00:11:11,626 --> 00:11:15,396
grant for existing nibin

235
00:11:13,929 --> 00:11:17,031
agencies. So agencies that

236
00:11:15,463 --> 00:11:18,066
currently have nibin have an

237
00:11:17,098 --> 00:11:23,638
opportunity to file in for this

238
00:11:18,132 --> 00:11:24,672
grant. So nibin stands for

239
00:11:23,705 --> 00:11:26,107
national integrated ballistic

240
00:11:24,739 --> 00:11:28,643
integration network. This

241
00:11:26,174 --> 00:11:30,945
provides funding for replacing

242
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:33,715
the outdated nibin equipment at

243
00:11:31,012 --> 00:11:35,984
existing sites only to give them

244
00:11:33,782 --> 00:11:37,619
modern nibin compatible

245
00:11:36,051 --> 00:11:39,287
technology to irove crime gun

246
00:11:37,685 --> 00:11:41,022
intelligence capabilities. This

247
00:11:39,354 --> 00:11:42,257
will help strengthen

248
00:11:41,089 --> 00:11:44,793
investigations and our efforts

249
00:11:42,324 --> 00:11:46,161
to reduce the violent crime in

250
00:11:44,893 --> 00:11:47,495
nneapolis. And as well as

251
00:11:46,228 --> 00:11:50,231
jurisdictions that also use this

252
00:11:47,562 --> 00:11:51,799
as well. Because it's very much

253
00:11:50,298 --> 00:11:54,068
a partnership. So the grant

254
00:11:51,866 --> 00:11:54,635
funding pays for new nibin

255
00:11:54,135 --> 00:11:58,540
compatible technology and

256
00:11:54,702 --> 00:12:00,942
equipment includes it is for

257
00:11:58,607 --> 00:12:02,443
five years of upgrades and

258
00:12:01,009 --> 00:12:04,312
maintenance which will ruce

259
00:12:02,510 --> 00:12:05,947
the financial burden on

260
00:12:04,379 --> 00:12:06,715
minneapolis. Without this grant,

261
00:12:06,014 --> 00:12:08,583
minneapoliwould own the cost

262
00:12:06,781 --> 00:12:11,519
of it. The grant is over five

263
00:12:08,650 --> 00:12:16,758
years, it's $300,000. So this is

264
00:12:11,586 --> 00:12:18,259
like I said, this is a

265
00:12:16,825 --> 00:12:20,262
non-competitive grant. So it's

266
00:12:18,326 --> 00:12:21,863
those including minneapolis were

267
00:12:20,328 --> 00:12:24,432
invited to attend to apply for

268
00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:25,767
this particular grant. So

269
00:12:24,499 --> 00:12:27,301
there's 170 agencies that

270
00:12:25,834 --> 00:12:28,636
currently use nibin, and they

271
00:12:27,368 --> 00:12:31,472
were giv the opportunity to

272
00:12:28,703 --> 00:12:33,708
apply for this grant to maintain

273
00:12:31,539 --> 00:12:35,443
and upgrade their current

274
00:12:33,775 --> 00:12:39,080
equipment. So nibin is a program

275
00:12:35,510 --> 00:12:41,649
that is managed by the atf.

276
00:12:39,147 --> 00:12:44,085
nibin is a database that

277
00:12:41,716 --> 00:12:47,388
captures, stores and correlates

278
00:12:44,152 --> 00:12:49,257
digital images, which we

279
00:12:47,455 --> 00:12:51,426
oftentimes would call

280
00:12:49,324 --> 00:12:54,229
fingerprints of discharge

281
00:12:51,492 --> 00:12:57,398
cartridge casing. Dccs. So after

282
00:12:54,296 --> 00:12:58,532
you shoot the gun, the bullet

283
00:12:57,465 --> 00:13:00,635
itself is expelled outside of

284
00:12:58,599 --> 00:13:03,304
the gun. But it leaves either in

285
00:13:00,702 --> 00:13:05,373
the gun or on the groun a spent

286
00:13:03,371 --> 00:13:07,708
casing. So the spent casing is

287
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,677
what this equipment analyzes.

288
00:13:07,775 --> 00:13:11,512
and what's unique to that

289
00:13:09,744 --> 00:13:13,481
particular thing is that that

290
00:13:11,579 --> 00:13:15,984
casing and the indentations that

291
00:13:13,548 --> 00:13:18,519
you and I can't see that are on

292
00:13:16,051 --> 00:13:19,520
that particular casing, nibin

293
00:13:18,586 --> 00:13:21,056
equipmencan see those things.

294
00:13:19,587 --> 00:13:23,658
and I'll talk a little bit more

295
00:13:21,122 --> 00:13:25,193
in detail about that. It

296
00:13:23,725 --> 00:13:26,227
identifies the gun. It's the

297
00:13:25,260 --> 00:13:28,963
fingerprints of that gun, that

298
00:13:26,294 --> 00:13:31,332
specific gun. So firearm

299
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:34,135
evidence from one crime to

300
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:35,637
anothe is compared with the

301
00:13:34,202 --> 00:13:37,038
purpose of detecting

302
00:13:35,704 --> 00:13:38,239
assoations between separate

303
00:13:37,105 --> 00:13:40,708
shooting incidents through the

304
00:13:38,306 --> 00:13:42,043
firearms evidence. That's

305
00:13:40,775 --> 00:13:43,945
actionable intelligence. Nibin

306
00:13:42,110 --> 00:13:46,247
aids in preventing violence as

307
00:13:44,012 --> 00:13:48,683
well a finding out who

308
00:13:46,314 --> 00:13:49,450
perpetrated the violent crime

309
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:51,386
that's already happened. Up on

310
00:13:49,517 --> 00:13:53,988
the screen here, you'll see this

311
00:13:51,453 --> 00:13:55,490
is the current equipment that we

312
00:13:54,055 --> 00:13:57,425
have. On the monitor right there

313
00:13:55,557 --> 00:13:58,760
gives you an idea of what it

314
00:13:57,492 --> 00:14:00,261
looks like after a spent casing

315
00:13:58,827 --> 00:14:01,729
is put through the system. It

316
00:14:00,327 --> 00:14:03,698
doesn't look like much, b if

317
00:14:01,796 --> 00:14:06,834
you kinda think of it as a

318
00:14:03,765 --> 00:14:08,470
fingerprint, you're loong at

319
00:14:06,901 --> 00:14:11,706
it that is unique to any casing

320
00:14:08,536 --> 00:14:15,410
that was sent through that

321
00:14:11,773 --> 00:14:16,945
particular weapon. So next to is

322
00:14:15,477 --> 00:14:19,113
is the box that you put the

323
00:14:17,012 --> 00:14:21,016
casing on and it analyzes it and

324
00:14:19,180 --> 00:14:26,287
shows up on that. Then that

325
00:14:21,082 --> 00:14:27,222
information is sent down to atf

326
00:14:26,354 --> 00:14:28,623
to analyze further. So

327
00:14:27,288 --> 00:14:31,293
minneapolis police department

328
00:14:28,690 --> 00:14:34,228
has been part of the nibin

329
00:14:31,359 --> 00:14:36,497
program since 2002. Equipment

330
00:14:34,295 --> 00:14:37,965
was installed in 2014. You can

331
00:14:36,564 --> 00:14:40,035
imagine there's been a lot of

332
00:14:38,032 --> 00:14:41,903
changes and a lot of

333
00:14:40,101 --> 00:14:43,371
advancements since 2014.

334
00:14:41,969 --> 00:14:44,939
upgrades in technology as well

335
00:14:43,438 --> 00:14:47,641
as the program itself is very

336
00:14:45,006 --> 00:14:50,745
important. Earlier on, when we

337
00:14:47,708 --> 00:14:53,147
reportednibin, we would submit

338
00:14:50,812 --> 00:14:56,017
as needed these casings into the

339
00:14:53,214 --> 00:14:58,252
systems and that creates quite a

340
00:14:56,084 --> 00:14:59,988
backlog. So when we did actually

341
00:14:58,319 --> 00:15:01,556
have something happen right

342
00:15:00,055 --> 00:15:02,724
away, it would take weeks or

343
00:15:01,623 --> 00:15:04,192
possibly even months before we

344
00:15:02,791 --> 00:15:05,626
would get the results back.

345
00:15:04,259 --> 00:15:07,295
which is really difficult wn

346
00:15:05,693 --> 00:15:08,262
you're trying to use that

347
00:15:07,362 --> 00:15:10,565
information for investigations

348
00:15:08,329 --> 00:15:13,001
that are currently open. So the

349
00:15:10,632 --> 00:15:16,037
current process eliminates that

350
00:15:13,068 --> 00:15:17,638
wait time by proactively

351
00:15:16,104 --> 00:15:19,741
processing every discharge

352
00:15:17,705 --> 00:15:22,677
casing we come up with, every

353
00:15:19,808 --> 00:15:24,145
dcc. As well as when we recover

354
00:15:22,744 --> 00:15:26,581
any firearm, in our laboratories

355
00:15:24,212 --> 00:15:27,615
through the forensics labs, will

356
00:15:26,648 --> 00:15:29,650
firehat weapon and we'll use

357
00:15:27,682 --> 00:15:31,419
that casing that comes out of

358
00:15:29,717 --> 00:15:32,920
that recovered firearm and put

359
00:15:31,486 --> 00:15:34,155
it through the same system. So

360
00:15:32,987 --> 00:15:36,090
now we have the fingerprints of

361
00:15:34,222 --> 00:15:38,460
that gun that wasrecovered. And

362
00:15:36,157 --> 00:15:39,727
sometimes that can link it to

363
00:15:38,526 --> 00:15:47,001
other guns in other cmes that

364
00:15:39,794 --> 00:15:48,769
we've had happen. So the steps

365
00:15:47,068 --> 00:15:50,538
of nibin are, so mpd will

366
00:15:48,836 --> 00:15:53,241
collect and submit that evidence

367
00:15:50,605 --> 00:15:54,976
into nibin. There's a turnaround

368
00:15:53,308 --> 00:15:56,544
that's as brief as possible

369
00:15:55,043 --> 00:15:58,079
because we want our

370
00:15:56,611 --> 00:16:00,648
investigato

371
00:15:58,146 --> 00:16:04,152
that information. To give you an

372
00:16:00,715 --> 00:16:06,721
idea, itan be done rushed, it

373
00:16:04,219 --> 00:16:08,055
could be done in the same day.

374
00:16:06,788 --> 00:16:09,490
otherwise average time is five

375
00:16:08,122 --> 00:16:11,692
to six days to get the

376
00:16:09,557 --> 00:16:14,862
information back. But the

377
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:17,632
investigation is still ongoing

378
00:16:14,929 --> 00:16:19,733
and we can link that gun to

379
00:16:17,699 --> 00:16:22,203
other crimes that have happened

380
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,637
when casings are discharged.

381
00:16:22,269 --> 00:16:25,272
there's a follow up with

382
00:16:23,704 --> 00:16:26,507
prosecution investigations. I

383
00:16:25,339 --> 00:16:28,476
was here last week presenting.

384
00:16:26,574 --> 00:16:32,513
while I was in the lobby

385
00:16:28,543 --> 00:16:34,415
waiting, I was here becau they

386
00:16:32,580 --> 00:16:37,418
were presenting on the fast

387
00:16:34,482 --> 00:16:39,053
team. Lieutenant schroeder got

388
00:16:37,485 --> 00:16:41,622
six hits while we were waiting.

389
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,959
not saying you guys took too

390
00:16:41,689 --> 00:16:48,629
long. But while we were waiting,

391
00:16:45,026 --> 00:16:51,666
he got six hits of casings while

392
00:16:48,696 --> 00:16:52,567
we were waiting from nibin.

393
00:16:51,733 --> 00:16:53,634
associated that guwith another

394
00:16:52,634 --> 00:16:56,170
crime that happened in

395
00:16:53,701 --> 00:16:58,239
minneapolis. Those are just our

396
00:16:56,237 --> 00:17:00,741
hitsegarding what we are

397
00:16:58,305 --> 00:17:01,275
submitting them for. This is

398
00:17:00,808 --> 00:17:06,147
critical and essential to

399
00:17:01,342 --> 00:17:08,649
minneapolis. So t

400
00:17:06,214 --> 00:17:10,417
effectiveness of nibin relies on

401
00:17:08,716 --> 00:17:11,586
comprehensive collection of

402
00:17:10,484 --> 00:17:14,188
discharge casings at crime

403
00:17:11,653 --> 00:17:15,423
scenes as well as recovering

404
00:17:14,255 --> 00:17:18,593
firearms and forensic division

405
00:17:15,490 --> 00:17:21,362
to enter that in there

406
00:17:18,660 --> 00:17:23,664
immediately. The operation

407
00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:25,700
adopts a required minimum

408
00:17:23,731 --> 00:17:28,336
required operations standards.

409
00:17:25,767 --> 00:17:29,637
the gold standard is within two

410
00:17:28,403 --> 00:17:35,710
days of collection of the

411
00:17:29,704 --> 00:17:39,380
firearm or the dcc gets entered

412
00:17:35,776 --> 00:17:41,382
into nibin so there's no delay.

413
00:17:39,447 --> 00:17:42,984
so the forensics division can

414
00:17:41,449 --> 00:17:43,851
contribute to the overall

415
00:17:43,051 --> 00:17:46,187
strategy toeal with gun

416
00:17:43,918 --> 00:17:47,655
violence by providing this

417
00:17:46,254 --> 00:17:48,823
actionable crime gun

418
00:17:47,722 --> 00:17:51,292
intelligence to investigators as

419
00:17:48,890 --> 00:17:52,794
well as using forensic data to

420
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,928
not only solve crimes but to

421
00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:56,797
prevent future violent crimes as

422
00:17:53,995 --> 00:17:59,968
well. Take a moment here. I'm

423
00:17:56,864 --> 00:18:05,406
going to give you a case study

424
00:18:00,034 --> 00:18:06,808
for use of the nibin program. So

425
00:18:05,473 --> 00:18:08,109
I can't give you one that's

426
00:18:06,874 --> 00:18:10,244
currently ongoing. So I can give

427
00:18:08,176 --> 00:18:13,781
you an example of one that

428
00:18:10,311 --> 00:18:15,517
happened in 2023. In august 9th

429
00:18:13,848 --> 00:18:17,652
of 2023, minneapolis police

430
00:18:15,583 --> 00:18:19,853
officers were dispatched to the

431
00:18:17,719 --> 00:18:22,857
intersection of thomas avenue

432
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:26,393
north and oak park avenue in

433
00:18:22,924 --> 00:18:29,130
north minneapolis. The repor

434
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:31,766
was for shots fired and a woman

435
00:18:29,197 --> 00:18:34,602
screaming. Unrtunately, the

436
00:18:31,833 --> 00:18:38,439
victim was pronounced deceased

437
00:18:34,669 --> 00:18:39,674
at the hospital. Video door bell

438
00:18:38,506 --> 00:18:41,675
captured tha incident. Located

439
00:18:39,741 --> 00:18:45,413
a video of a cargo van that was

440
00:18:41,742 --> 00:18:47,148
likely used in the incident. The

441
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,716
following day officers were able

442
00:18:47,215 --> 00:18:51,819
to locate a possible suspect

443
00:18:48,783 --> 00:18:54,155
vehicle that was used in this

444
00:18:51,886 --> 00:18:58,259
crime. Officers inside the

445
00:18:54,222 --> 00:19:09,803
vehicle were able to, after a

446
00:19:00,094 --> 00:19:12,373
a spent dcc from a .10mm casing

447
00:19:09,870 --> 00:19:14,075
from the scene of the shooting

448
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,445
indicating they had been shot

449
00:19:14,142 --> 00:19:19,747
from the same weapon. This is a

450
00:19:17,512 --> 00:19:22,383
particular example of how the

451
00:19:19,814 --> 00:19:24,719
nibin machine was used. The

452
00:19:22,450 --> 00:19:29,657
video case led to the suspect

453
00:19:24,786 --> 00:19:36,097
vehicle. But the nibin evidence

454
00:19:29,724 --> 00:19:39,199
linked to thcrime. So the

455
00:19:36,164 --> 00:19:40,601
nibin modernization prram. By

456
00:19:39,266 --> 00:19:42,202
receiving this grant and getting

457
00:19:40,668 --> 00:19:45,172
the appropriate updates and

458
00:19:42,269 --> 00:19:47,475
maintenance to the existing

459
00:19:45,239 --> 00:19:48,208
machine system, which are now

460
00:19:47,542 --> 00:19:50,811
reaching the end of their

461
00:19:48,275 --> 00:19:52,613
service life, making repairs,

462
00:19:50,878 --> 00:19:53,414
replacement parts, and

463
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,282
manufacturing support is

464
00:19:53,481 --> 00:19:57,217
becoming increasingly difficult

465
00:19:55,349 --> 00:19:57,851
if we were to maintain our

466
00:19:57,284 --> 00:20:02,189
existing equipment without this

467
00:19:57,918 --> 00:20:05,159
grant. Maintaining operational

468
00:20:02,256 --> 00:20:05,759
capability without the

469
00:20:05,226 --> 00:20:08,329
modernization, agencies will

470
00:20:05,826 --> 00:20:09,430
risk down time as well as

471
00:20:08,395 --> 00:20:10,531
degraded performance that could

472
00:20:09,497 --> 00:20:13,267
result in delayed ballistic

473
00:20:10,598 --> 00:20:18,272
evidence processing, which will

474
00:20:13,334 --> 00:20:21,142
affect crime gun investigations.

475
00:20:18,339 --> 00:20:22,376
newer nibin technology provides

476
00:20:21,208 --> 00:20:25,012
faster processing, higher

477
00:20:22,442 --> 00:20:26,781
quality images and better match

478
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:27,448
capabilities, helping

479
00:20:26,847 --> 00:20:31,986
investigators identify firearms

480
00:20:27,515 --> 00:20:33,521
more quickly. Upgrading the

481
00:20:32,052 --> 00:20:34,255
systems maintain capability with

482
00:20:33,588 --> 00:20:38,826
nibin software and

483
00:20:34,322 --> 00:20:40,861
infrastructure. So atf is

484
00:20:38,892 --> 00:20:41,696
evolving and improving their

485
00:20:40,928 --> 00:20:43,497
software. Our equipment needs to

486
00:20:41,763 --> 00:20:46,800
keep up with that. At some point

487
00:20:43,564 --> 00:20:48,502
in time, if we don't have cost

488
00:20:46,867 --> 00:20:50,538
covered and we don't make these

489
00:20:48,569 --> 00:20:53,541
changes, we won't be able to

490
00:20:50,605 --> 00:20:55,175
participate in the particular

491
00:20:53,608 --> 00:20:56,577
program. That does conclude my

492
00:20:55,275 --> 00:20:57,811
ief on this particular case.

493
00:20:56,644 --> 00:20:58,813
if you guys have any questions,

494
00:20:57,878 --> 00:21:02,817
I can speak to them now.

495
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:05,653
» thank you. Members, please

496
00:21:02,884 --> 00:21:08,188
get into queue if you have any

497
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,056
questions for comments. We have

498
00:21:08,255 --> 00:21:11,258
council member chavez in queue.

499
00:21:09,123 --> 00:21:13,494
go ahead, council member.

500
00:21:11,325 --> 00:21:14,528
» thank you, chair chowdhury.

501
00:21:13,561 --> 00:21:19,100
I'd like to first express my

502
00:21:14,595 --> 00:21:24,639
concern about this matter. I

503
00:21:19,166 --> 00:21:26,107
wished the presentation at least

504
00:21:24,705 --> 00:21:27,275
acknowledgement the har to

505
00:21:26,174 --> 00:21:28,609
immigrant residents. I am not

506
00:21:27,341 --> 00:21:30,578
disputing the need for funding

507
00:21:28,676 --> 00:21:32,079
to address this concern or the

508
00:21:30,678 --> 00:21:33,847
ncern to address gun violence

509
00:21:32,146 --> 00:21:35,616
in our city. But I am dputing

510
00:21:33,914 --> 00:21:36,283
the fact that there was no

511
00:21:35,683 --> 00:21:38,519
mention in this presentation

512
00:21:36,350 --> 00:21:40,955
about the harmful rhetoricoted

513
00:21:38,586 --> 00:21:44,425
about our undocumented

514
00:21:41,022 --> 00:21:51,065
neighbors. The notice of funding

515
00:21:46,494 --> 00:21:53,634

crimes committed by quote

521

522
00:22:02,477 --> 00:22:06,447
very clear to my commuty that

523
00:22:04,378 --> 00:22:09,150
this language is very

524
00:22:06,514 --> 00:22:11,952
disrespectful. It is

525
00:22:09,217 --> 00:22:13,888
dehumanizing and it is not in

526
00:22:12,019 --> 00:22:16,424
vae with the city of

00:22:13,955 --> 00:22:21,595

atf with access to all

00:23:01,536 --> 00:23:07,641
information, reports, and any

00:23:05,706 --> 00:23:09,543
information regarding to crimes

548
00:23:07,708 --> 00:23:10,411
with evidence -- historical and

553
00:23:20,487 --> 00:23:25,793
by atf. Capturing of information

554
00:23:23,691 --> 00:23:28,295
and other stuff. I want to first

555
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:30,130
state that I do not accept the

556
00:23:28,362 --> 00:23:31,565
premise, implicit or explicit in

557
00:23:30,197 --> 00:23:33,500
this or any federal instrument

558
00:23:31,631 --> 00:23:35,135
that immigrant residents are a

559
00:23:33,567 --> 00:23:36,804
threat to public safety

560
00:23:35,202 --> 00:23:38,706
requiring locating and

561
00:23:36,871 --> 00:23:40,574
apprehending. I believe that we

562
00:23:38,773 --> 00:23:42,243
as a city have a duty to ensure

563
00:23:40,641 --> 00:23:44,678
that when we are applying for

564
00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:50,751
and accepting federal funds that

565
00:23:44,745 --> 00:23:55,089
we do not lend the city'same

566
00:23:50,818 --> 00:23:57,157
to a -- I do not accept the idea

567
00:23:55,156 --> 00:23:59,126
that undocumented immigrants are

568
00:23:57,224 --> 00:24:00,961
quote aliens or quote illegal.

569
00:23:59,193 --> 00:24:02,897
and I do not accept the premise

570
00:24:01,028 --> 00:24:05,165
that expressing these concerns

571
00:24:02,997 --> 00:24:09,370
e rooted in rhetoric when

572
00:24:05,232 --> 00:24:10,838
these concerns are coming from

573
00:24:09,436 --> 00:24:12,406
caring about our immigrant

574
00:24:10,904 --> 00:24:14,541
neighbors in the city. If we are

575
00:24:12,473 --> 00:24:16,277
going to pursue this, I will be

576
00:24:14,608 --> 00:24:17,844
working with the city attorney's

577
00:24:16,344 --> 00:24:19,547
office to attach a resolution

578
00:24:17,911 --> 00:24:21,715
that says we do not agree with

579
00:24:19,614 --> 00:24:24,218
the use of calling our neighbors

580
00:24:21,782 --> 00:24:25,419
illegal or aliens, and that

581
00:24:24,285 --> 00:24:29,690
otr conditions will have to be

582
00:24:25,486 --> 00:24:30,491
applied. So I just wanted to

583
00:24:29,757 --> 00:24:31,525
express my concerns today.

584
00:24:30,558 --> 00:24:34,228
» tnk you, council member

585
00:24:31,592 --> 00:24:36,130
chavez. Next, we will go to vice

586
00:24:34,295 --> 00:24:38,866
chair chughtai.

587
00:24:36,196 --> 00:24:41,936
» thank you,adam chair. Thank

588
00:24:38,933 --> 00:24:42,536
you for the presentation,

589
00:24:42,003 --> 00:24:45,773
commander brown. Always a

590
00:24:42,603 --> 00:24:47,675
pleasure to have you in the

591
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,110
chambers. I am wondering if you

592
00:24:47,742 --> 00:24:51,312
might be able to answer a couple

593
00:24:50,177 --> 00:24:58,786
of questions. And specifically,

594
00:24:51,378 --> 00:25:00,888
I'm hoping that you can help

595
00:24:58,853 --> 00:25:02,957
articulate here the city has

596
00:25:00,954 --> 00:25:04,992
contracts with a number of

597
00:25:03,024 --> 00:25:08,162
agencies in the realm of law

598
00:25:05,059 --> 00:25:11,431
enforcement. I know we have a

599
00:25:08,228 --> 00:25:15,703
contract with the stats bureau

600
00:25:11,498 --> 00:25:18,238
of criminal apprehension, the

601
00:25:15,770 --> 00:25:22,776
bca. I think that one is related

602
00:25:18,305 --> 00:25:25,112
to assistance with forensics. I

603
00:25:22,843 --> 00:25:27,915
think there's ballistics and

604
00:25:25,178 --> 00:25:30,150
other aspects that you

605
00:25:27,981 --> 00:25:34,555
highligh

606
00:25:30,217 --> 00:25:41,228
presentation. So just help us

607
00:25:36,923 --> 00:25:45,265
utilize this grant when we have

608
00:25:41,295 --> 00:25:47,835
more impact on it. This one may

609
00:25:45,332 --> 00:25:50,437
be one I can handle. We have

610
00:25:47,901 --> 00:25:52,439
lots of different mous and we

611
00:25:50,504 --> 00:25:55,175
submit our evidence to the a

612
00:25:52,506 --> 00:25:57,745
and pay for it on many different

613
00:25:55,242 --> 00:26:00,280
ways. But what we are doing in

614
00:25:57,812 --> 00:26:03,484
this particular program, this is

615
00:26:00,347 --> 00:26:05,953
thugh the doj and atf. It's a

616
00:26:03,551 --> 00:26:08,622
broader netwk. This is just

617
00:26:06,020 --> 00:26:10,424
looking for funding to maintain,

618
00:26:08,689 --> 00:26:13,727
update the equipment for the

619
00:26:10,491 --> 00:26:17,397
program that still exists.

620
00:26:13,794 --> 00:26:20,234
» generally speaking, is it

621
00:26:17,464 --> 00:26:22,969
sa

622
00:26:20,301 --> 00:26:26,573
partners at the state and local

623
00:26:23,036 --> 00:26:29,176
level have some sort of

624
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:32,646
relationship with an agency that

625
00:26:29,243 --> 00:26:33,981
has nibin access?

626
00:26:32,713 --> 00:26:36,917
» through the chair, vice

627
00:26:34,048 --> 00:26:38,251
chair, I can say that there's

628
00:26:36,984 --> 00:26:40,721
170 agencies that are currently

629
00:26:38,318 --> 00:26:44,525
using nibin. But that's going to

630
00:26:40,788 --> 00:26:46,193
be primarily large agencies. And

631
00:26:44,592 --> 00:26:48,929
so it does behoove us. Because

632
00:26:46,260 --> 00:26:51,899
some of the crimes tha we're

633
00:26:48,995 --> 00:26:55,569
finding weapons for are going to

634
00:26:51,966 --> 00:26:58,572
be helping our partners in the

635
00:26:55,636 --> 00:27:01,075
immediate area, suburbs and the

636
00:26:58,639 --> 00:27:04,712
such. The guns we capture

637
00:27:01,142 --> 00:27:06,079
casing we may be able to solve

638
00:27:04,779 --> 00:27:08,816
other crimes and prevent future

639
00:27:06,146 --> 00:27:11,318
crimes from happening at all.

640
00:27:08,883 --> 00:27:14,020
» I think what I'm taking away

641
00:27:11,385 --> 00:27:15,722
here is that, you kn, we're

642
00:27:14,087 --> 00:27:19,560
not -- the city isn't going to

643
00:27:15,789 --> 00:27:25,232
lose access to a system that is

644
00:27:19,627 --> 00:27:27,501
critical as a result of not

645
00:27:25,299 --> 00:27:28,936
suitting a proposal to receive

646
00:27:27,568 --> 00:27:32,106
this grant. I think that makes

647
00:27:29,003 --> 00:27:35,041
it a little bit different from

648
00:27:32,173 --> 00:27:37,444
instances in the past I think

649
00:27:35,108 --> 00:27:38,411
when we've had contracts or

650
00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:40,514
things like that for approval

651
00:27:38,478 --> 00:27:41,715
bere the body, and the choices

652
00:27:40,581 --> 00:27:43,450
between having a system or

653
00:27:41,782 --> 00:27:45,152
» thank you. Thank you, sir,

654
00:27:43,516 --> 00:27:48,689
for that presentation. Can you

655
00:27:45,219 --> 00:27:49,556
talk about or address, I'm

656
00:27:48,756 --> 00:27:53,294
looking at the document rca

657
00:27:49,623 --> 00:27:55,129
here. The concern raised by

658
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,163
council memberhavez about the

659
00:27:55,196 --> 00:28:00,333
language used in the

660
00:27:56,230 --> 00:28:00,834
application. Can you touch a

661
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,735
little bit about that?

662
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:04,171
» through the chair, council

663
00:28:01,801 --> 00:28:05,005
member osman, I can just talk

664
00:28:04,238 --> 00:28:06,006
about it briefly.

665
00:28:05,072 --> 00:28:07,975
» sure.

666
00:28:06,072 --> 00:28:10,911
» sohen we first got the --

667
00:28:08,042 --> 00:28:12,313
so what he's referring to is the

668
00:28:10,978 --> 00:28:16,516
notice of funding opportunity

669
00:28:12,379 --> 00:28:18,218
that's put out by the doj. All

670
00:28:16,583 --> 00:28:18,685
language for federal grants, we

671
00:28:18,285 --> 00:28:20,087
don't write them.

672
00:28:18,752 --> 00:28:25,492
» sure I know.

673
00:28:20,154 --> 00:28:26,293
» the language does come from

674
00:28:25,558 --> 00:28:28,328
whoever the current federal

675
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:30,063
administrator is. So wdon't

676
00:28:28,395 --> 00:28:31,532
make up that. Whenever we

677
00:28:30,130 --> 00:28:33,233
receive a grant opportunity, we

678
00:28:31,599 --> 00:28:34,568
run allhat through the city

679
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:36,537
attorney's office and vet it

680
00:28:34,635 --> 00:28:39,606
before we ever make any

681
00:28:36,604 --> 00:28:41,775
agreements of any way. So

682
00:28:39,673 --> 00:28:43,443
traditionally, we would have

683
00:28:41,841 --> 00:28:47,514
been sending -- this information

684
00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:49,116
would have come to you after

685
00:28:47,581 --> 00:28:51,185
they decide. We just were

686
00:28:49,183 --> 00:28:52,286
running late on this particular

687
00:28:51,252 --> 00:28:53,687
case so we sent the whole

688
00:28:52,352 --> 00:28:55,122
package to you at theame time

689
00:28:53,754 --> 00:28:58,225
the city attorney's were looking

690
00:28:55,189 --> 00:29:00,193
at it. The letter did not come

691
00:28:58,292 --> 00:29:02,529
with an explanation by the city

692
00:29:01,895 --> 00:29:04,898
currently does. S time and it

693
00:29:02,596 --> 00:29:08,302
» so my understanding is we are

694
00:29:04,965 --> 00:29:11,572
looking for this funding and

695
00:29:08,369 --> 00:29:16,543
applying through the u.s.

696
00:29:11,639 --> 00:29:18,511
government, and part ofheir

697
00:29:16,610 --> 00:29:21,982
notice or application

698
00:29:18,578 --> 00:29:26,753
information, I includes the

699
00:29:22,048 --> 00:29:33,360
language that is seen to be what

700
00:29:31,792 --> 00:29:37,397
trump, which is illegal aliens

701
00:29:33,427 --> 00:29:43,670
and language like that. That is

702
00:29:37,464 --> 00:29:47,107
actually, it is concern. But I

703
00:29:43,737 --> 00:29:48,875
don't know how this could rate

704
00:29:47,174 --> 00:29:55,549
to what we're getting as in o

705
00:29:48,942 --> 00:29:59,686
department. It's very

706
00:29:58,686 --> 00:30:05,258
concerning ever since trump took

707
00:29:59,753 --> 00:30:08,194
over office. But for us, we are,

708
00:30:05,325 --> 00:30:12,633
as adepartment, I'm guessing

709
00:30:08,261 --> 00:30:14,300
we're applying. We apply a lot

710
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:16,136
of grants through this

711
00:30:14,401 --> 00:30:18,305
ministration. And I think that

712
00:30:16,203 --> 00:30:20,073
what you mentioned is very

713
00:30:18,372 --> 00:30:23,911
important to nice that this

714
00:30:20,140 --> 00:30:25,145
grant is going to hp us reduce

715
00:30:23,978 --> 00:30:32,452
crimes and help us cch bad

716
00:30:25,212 --> 00:30:34,621
guys that are committing crimes.

717
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:36,289
can you talk about o more

718
00:30:34,688 --> 00:30:41,194
about accepting this grants.

719
00:30:36,356 --> 00:30:43,997
what is the --re there any

720
00:30:41,261 --> 00:30:45,699
attachment on immigration or any

721
00:30:44,064 --> 00:30:47,768
things thrgh the city that we

722
00:30:45,766 --> 00:30:52,672
have to address? And how is that

723
00:30:47,835 --> 00:30:53,340
related to immigration,

724
00:30:52,739 --> 00:30:55,976
acpting theserants? I don't

725
00:30:53,407 --> 00:30:56,843
know if I heard that. But if

726
00:30:56,043 --> 00:30:59,046
there's any city attorneys here

727
00:30:56,910 --> 00:31:01,214
accepting the grants, how does

728
00:30:59,113 --> 00:31:03,717
that relate to immigration

729
00:31:01,281 --> 00:31:06,553
enrcement in the city?

730
00:31:05,652 --> 00:31:08,188
member osman, city attorneys

731
00:31:06,620 --> 00:31:08,488
will be able to answer that

732
00:31:08,255 --> 00:31:09,256
question.

733
00:31:08,555 --> 00:31:10,323
» thank you.

734
00:31:09,323 --> 00:31:13,894
» good afternoon,embers of

735
00:31:10,390 --> 00:31:15,362
the council. My name is amy

736
00:31:13,961 --> 00:31:16,930
schutt, ad assistant city

737
00:31:15,429 --> 00:31:18,098
attorney. Through the chair,

738
00:31:16,997 --> 00:31:20,033
council member osman, to your

739
00:31:18,164 --> 00:31:21,268
question generally speaking

740
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:24,071
about problematic grant terms.

741
00:31:21,335 --> 00:31:25,272
we have beeneeing an increase

742
00:31:24,137 --> 00:31:26,373
in these terms since the

743
00:31:25,338 --> 00:31:28,108
beginning of the trump

744
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,443
administration. And that is the

745
00:31:28,175 --> 00:31:31,745
reason that my office has set up

746
00:31:29,510 --> 00:31:33,313
a process for reviewing terms

747
00:31:31,812 --> 00:31:35,782
for all grants that the city is

748
00:31:33,380 --> 00:31:37,484
applying for. So this grant as

749
00:31:35,849 --> 00:31:38,485
was mentioned, went through that

750
00:31:37,551 --> 00:31:39,052
process just as many other

751
00:31:38,552 --> 00:31:40,820
grants do.

752
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:44,491
I happened to be the one who

753
00:31:40,887 --> 00:31:46,359
received that for review and

754
00:31:44,558 --> 00:31:50,197
reviewed the grant and all of

755
00:31:46,426 --> 00:31:52,265
the documents referenced in that

756
00:31:50,264 --> 00:31:54,501
nofo for any problematic terms

757
00:31:52,332 --> 00:31:56,303
and conditns. That includes

758
00:31:54,568 --> 00:31:59,306
terms and conditions that would

759
00:31:56,370 --> 00:32:01,742
separate the ordinance. As well

760
00:31:59,373 --> 00:32:03,477
as any terms and condions that

761
00:32:01,809 --> 00:32:06,079
would require the city to act in

762
00:32:03,544 --> 00:32:07,514
a way that is antithetical to

763
00:32:06,146 --> 00:32:11,085
our values. My determination in

764
00:32:07,581 --> 00:32:12,552
reviewing those documents was

765
00:32:11,151 --> 00:32:14,154
that there are not any --

766
00:32:12,619 --> 00:32:16,289
there's no information in it a

767
00:32:14,221 --> 00:32:22,062
this point that does require us

768
00:32:16,356 --> 00:32:23,797
to act in a way that is

769
00:32:22,129 --> 00:32:25,899
antithetical t our values.

770
00:32:23,863 --> 00:32:29,569
while it does have problematic

771
00:32:25,965 --> 00:32:30,670
language in it, it has

772
00:32:29,636 --> 00:32:35,542
inappropriate language in it

773
00:32:30,737 --> 00:32:36,309
related to our undocumented

774
00:32:35,609 --> 00:32:39,113
neighbors. That language doesn't

775
00:32:37,544 --> 00:32:41,114
that would force us to not ty

776
00:32:39,179 --> 00:32:44,718
accept thegrant.

777
00:32:41,181 --> 00:32:49,022
» that is really helpful to

778
00:32:44,785 --> 00:32:51,658
understand that. I will suprt

779
00:32:49,089 --> 00:32:54,361
this accepting this grants. Also

780
00:32:51,725 --> 00:32:55,662
that I disagree with a lot of

781
00:32:54,428 --> 00:33:00,200
things that administration says.

782
00:32:55,729 --> 00:33:01,067
but as a city, if we're

783
00:33:00,267 --> 00:33:02,169
following our separation

784
00:33:01,134 --> 00:33:05,506
ordinance and doing the right

785
00:33:03,704 --> 00:33:06,506
it's really hard fors to ng,

786
00:33:05,572 --> 00:33:08,575
contl what this administration

787
00:33:06,573 --> 00:33:11,377
says. But we just gotta keep

788
00:33:08,642 --> 00:33:12,979
going and doing what we can to

789
00:33:11,444 --> 00:33:18,251
keep our residents and citizens

790
00:33:13,046 --> 00:33:21,488
safe. And this grant helps our

791
00:33:18,318 --> 00:33:23,390
police officers capture the bad

792
00:33:21,554 --> 00:33:25,625
guysnd put them in jusce to

793
00:33:23,456 --> 00:33:27,427
make sure that we are not

794
00:33:25,692 --> 00:33:30,964
commitng more imes. And this

795
00:33:27,494 --> 00:33:33,834
is a tool that could help, you

796
00:33:31,031 --> 00:33:34,868
know, keep our community safe. I

797
00:33:33,901 --> 00:33:37,103
appreciate your explanation that

798
00:33:37,170 --> 00:33:41,041
immigration enforcement. But

799
00:33:40,173 --> 00:33:43,877
again, we can't control wt our

800
00:33:41,107 --> 00:33:48,315
president says. Thank you.

801
00:33:43,944 --> 00:33:51,418
» thank you. Next, we'll go to

802
00:33:48,382 --> 00:33:56,423
council member palmisano.

803
00:33:51,485 --> 00:33:57,023
» first, il say I agree whole

804
00:33:56,490 --> 00:34:08,602
heartedly with council member

805
00:33:57,090 --> 00:34:10,604
chavez's admings of the language

806
00:34:08,669 --> 00:34:12,672
used by the federal government

807
00:34:10,671 --> 00:34:15,675
here. This is important language

808
00:34:12,739 --> 00:34:18,044
and also agree to get this

809
00:34:15,742 --> 00:34:20,380
machine's upkeep funded. T

810
00:34:18,111 --> 00:34:22,249
tes of this grant as the city

811
00:34:20,447 --> 00:34:24,117
attorney just mentioned are what

812
00:34:22,316 --> 00:34:26,620
is most important to me. None of

813
00:34:24,184 --> 00:34:28,021
these terms require us to act in

814
00:34:26,687 --> 00:34:31,858
a way different to our common

815
00:34:28,088 --> 00:34:35,562
values here. Just yesterday I

816
00:34:31,924 --> 00:34:37,664
was speaking with a localptown

817
00:34:35,629 --> 00:34:41,568
restaurant owner who had shots

818
00:34:37,731 --> 00:34:42,669
fired into their restaurant last

819
00:34:41,635 --> 00:34:44,871
week, at their restaurant

820
00:34:42,736 --> 00:34:46,006
manager through a window. And

821
00:34:44,938 --> 00:34:49,176
this team of restaurant

822
00:34:46,073 --> 00:34:51,278
employees lives in fear and has

823
00:34:49,243 --> 00:34:54,180
been waiting anxiously, eagerly,

824
00:34:51,345 --> 00:34:57,250
to get those casgs processed.

825
00:34:54,247 --> 00:34:58,919
I have a question for commander

826
00:34:57,317 --> 00:35:01,688
brown. Commander brown, you

827
00:34:58,986 --> 00:35:04,925
mentioned the mpd meets the

828
00:35:01,755 --> 00:35:07,694
atf's gold standards for nibin

829
00:35:04,992 --> 00:35:09,663
entry and it's two-business

830
00:35:07,761 --> 00:35:12,332
days. It sounds like we'

831
00:35:09,730 --> 00:35:17,837
meeting that. You're proud of

832
00:35:12,432 --> 00:35:18,672
at. Does that mean reentry is

833
00:35:17,904 --> 00:35:21,708
getting results?

834
00:35:18,739 --> 00:35:23,944
» yes, it gets entered into the

835
00:35:21,775 --> 00:35:25,779
system within two days. If it

836
00:35:24,011 --> 00:35:27,180
was a case that was given a

837
00:35:25,879 --> 00:35:30,216
eedy, I believe that would be

838
00:35:27,247 --> 00:35:32,552
a response. It could be upo

839
00:35:30,283 --> 00:35:34,887
six days. If you want to know

840
00:35:32,619 --> 00:35:36,290
more specific, I can provide a

841
00:35:34,954 --> 00:35:37,790
forensic director up here.

842
00:35:36,356 --> 00:35:39,926
» I guess I'm just curious, do

843
00:35:37,857 --> 00:35:42,662
we end up with backlogs based on

844
00:35:39,993 --> 00:35:44,130
a number of shootings in our

845
00:35:42,729 --> 00:35:46,099
community ese last two weeks

846
00:35:44,197 --> 00:35:47,768
or is that not really a thing?

847
00:35:46,166 --> 00:35:50,036
» through the chair, council

848
00:35:47,834 --> 00:35:52,005
member palmisano, no, we do not

849
00:35:52,072 --> 00:35:55,375
basically pay it forward by

850
00:35:54,441 --> 00:35:57,210
processing everything as we get

851
00:35:55,442 --> 00:35:59,445
it. All of a sudden everything

852
00:35:57,276 --> 00:36:01,982
is a hurry doesn't happen.

853
00:35:59,512 --> 00:36:03,383
» okay. Well thank you. That is

854
00:36:02,049 --> 00:36:05,852
helpful, and it's helpful as we

855
00:36:03,450 --> 00:36:07,887
connect with people who arehe

856
00:36:05,918 --> 00:36:10,290
victims of gun violence but not

857
00:36:07,954 --> 00:36:12,325
being able to keep our nibin

858
00:36:10,356 --> 00:36:13,393
systems completely up to date

859
00:36:12,392 --> 00:36:15,028
and processing things quickly

860
00:36:13,460 --> 00:36:16,195
like this, like you mentioned in

861
00:36:15,095 --> 00:36:17,831
the slide. Equipment breaking

862
00:36:16,262 --> 00:36:19,699
down or havin problems or not

863
00:36:17,897 --> 00:36:21,635
being able to get replacement

864
00:36:19,766 --> 00:36:22,535
parts. Like, this is

865
00:36:21,702 --> 00:36:24,904
problematic. It impacts victims

866
00:36:22,602 --> 00:36:28,141
who are shot at. It impacts an

867
00:36:24,971 --> 00:36:31,511
investigation. It means less

868
00:36:29,909 --> 00:36:36,316
is why I'll be supporting this

869
00:36:31,578 --> 00:36:38,485
today. Thank you.

» thank you, chair chowdhury. A

873
00:36:41,121 --> 00:36:45,759
question for mpd. Do we have

874
00:36:43,323 --> 00:36:47,894
confirmation from the federal

875
00:36:45,825 --> 00:36:48,995
government that they would

876
00:36:47,961 --> 00:36:54,901
interpret us accepting this

877
00:36:49,062 --> 00:36:57,137
grant as having us to enforce

878
00:36:54,968 --> 00:36:57,337
federal immigration enforcement

879
00:36:57,204 --> 00:36:59,373

about their interpretations of

883
00:37:01,207 --> 00:37:04,310

889
00:37:12,118 --> 00:37:15,321
what we're obligated to do under

890
00:37:13,820 --> 00:37:15,788
this agreement. And that was

891
00:37:15,388 --> 00:37:17,223
expressed earlier.

902
00:37:37,043 --> 00:37:40,012
communicated with us that if we

were to apply and accept this

904
00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:44,250

» I think thas important to

912
00:37:52,259 --> 00:37:56,396
figure out if we're applying for

913

illegal aliens and immigration

enforcement. W are we not

916
00:38:00,233 --> 00:38:02,969
getting that information? So I

917
00:38:01,735 --> 00:38:05,638
would like that as a follow up

918
00:38:03,036 --> 00:38:06,873
to get an answer to that.

919
00:38:05,705 --> 00:38:09,176
colleagues, there seems like

920
00:38:06,940 --> 00:38:11,578
there's going to be a vote to

921
00:38:09,242 --> 00:38:13,146
approve this. It needs seven

922
00:38:11,645 --> 00:38:15,882
votes. It's going to need nine

923
00:38:13,213 --> 00:38:16,682
votes anyway. So I'm going to be

924
00:38:15,949 --> 00:38:18,952
bringing forward a resolion

925
00:38:16,749 --> 00:38:21,721

alien, and puts requirements if

931
00:38:29,463 --> 00:38:32,165
this gets accepted. Because what

932
00:38:30,964 --> 00:38:33,165
I don't want is we're going to

933
00:38:32,232 --> 00:38:36,102

00:38:33,232 --> 00:38:37,971
to be hurting our immigrant

00:39:09,402 --> 00:39:15,475
immigration enforcement as

952
00:39:11,571 --> 00:39:15,675
deiled in the bidened fund

953
00:39:15,542 --> 00:39:16,709
act.

954
00:39:15,742 --> 00:39:19,078
» thank you.

955
00:39:16,776 --> 00:39:20,546
» I put myself in queue next. I

956
00:39:19,145 --> 00:39:21,981
think we need to just say what

957
00:39:20,613 --> 00:39:25,585
the elephant in the room is.

958
00:39:22,048 --> 00:39:27,253
this is like adeeply, deeply

959
00:39:25,652 --> 00:39:29,289
tough position that members of

960
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,257
this council are in. Myself,

961
00:39:29,356 --> 00:39:34,461
included. And I think that was

962
00:39:31,324 --> 00:39:38,398
very clearly cmunicated in our

963
00:39:34,528 --> 00:39:40,367
agenda setting because the nofo

964
00:39:38,464 --> 00:39:42,402
has laid out language for

965
00:39:40,433 --> 00:39:44,770
purpose of funding that doe

966
00:39:42,468 --> 00:39:47,407
speak to our immigrant community

967
00:39:44,837 --> 00:39:50,643
in dehumazing ways, reflective

968
00:39:47,474 --> 00:39:51,544
of the experience that we had in

969
00:39:50,710 --> 00:39:53,813
operatiometro surge. And I

970
00:39:51,611 --> 00:39:55,515
think from where I sit, the

971
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,685
feelings that membersf this

972
00:39:55,582 --> 00:39:59,819
body have and members of our

973
00:39:58,752 --> 00:40:00,720
communityill have in

974
00:39:59,886 --> 00:40:02,722
understanding the purpose of

975
00:40:00,787 --> 00:40:06,826
funding and where the funding

976
00:40:02,789 --> 00:40:07,894
comes from are valid. It's

977
00:40:06,892 --> 00:40:09,262
unsurprising to  that people

978
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,463
are having hard reactions to

979
00:40:09,329 --> 00:40:12,799
that. And I think that's the

980
00:40:10,529 --> 00:40:16,402
reality of this. I think the

981
00:40:12,865 --> 00:40:22,808
question before us is should we

982
00:40:19,005 --> 00:40:25,612
that's largely a governance

983
00:40:22,875 --> 00:40:28,815
approach. For me, I am

984
00:40:27,179 --> 00:40:31,785
personally troubled that this

985
00:40:28,881 --> 00:40:34,888
comes from the bridging

986
00:40:31,851 --> 00:40:36,990
immigration deficits experienced

987
00:40:34,955 --> 00:40:38,458
nationwide program. Basically,

988
00:40:37,057 --> 00:40:39,926
immigration enforcement

989
00:40:38,524 --> 00:40:41,694
reimbursement fund for state

990
00:40:39,993 --> 00:40:43,363
governments, local governments,

991
00:40:41,761 --> 00:40:47,033
other units. And it's kind of

992
00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:48,301
hard for us to separate th. I

993
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:51,771
don'tbject to nibin. I

994
00:40:48,368 --> 00:40:55,775
understand the tool. And it

995
00:40:51,838 --> 00:40:56,576
sounds like it's been showing

996
00:40:55,842 --> 00:40:58,545
clear deliverables. I don't

997
00:40:56,643 --> 00:41:00,246
think not applying for ts

998
00:40:58,611 --> 00:41:02,081
grt means we don't update it.

999
00:41:00,313 --> 00:41:04,183
it does mean that we would have

1000
00:41:02,148 --> 00:41:06,152
to look to our own budge to do

1001
00:41:04,250 --> 00:41:09,255
it. Which is always the chance

1002
00:41:06,219 --> 00:41:12,358
ifor some reason, o, we

1003
00:41:09,322 --> 00:41:13,993
apply and this doesn't get

1004
00:41:12,425 --> 00:41:15,528
accepted. Two, we apply and

1005
00:41:14,060 --> 00:41:17,463
there's terms we can't agree to

1006
00:41:15,595 --> 00:41:19,532
becaus the same revw that the

1007
00:41:17,530 --> 00:41:21,801
city attorneys do in applying

1008
00:41:19,598 --> 00:41:25,104
for said grant, that same level

1009
00:41:21,867 --> 00:41:27,273
of scrutiny has to hpen again

1010
00:41:25,171 --> 00:41:29,709
once the grant I before us. And

1011
00:41:27,340 --> 00:41:33,513
th again, we have to vote for

1012
00:41:29,776 --> 00:41:35,882
it. So those are kind of tngs

1013
00:41:33,580 --> 00:41:38,417
to weigh. I do want to just ask

1014
00:41:35,949 --> 00:41:40,953
a question, and noticed this

1015
00:41:38,484 --> 00:41:42,722
la

1016
00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:44,457
for committee. It's my

1017
00:41:42,789 --> 00:41:46,092
understanding in order for us to

1018
00:41:44,524 --> 00:41:48,628
apply for this grant, it has to

1019
00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:50,830
pass through this body. It has

1020
00:41:48,695 --> 00:41:52,365
to go through final action on

1021
00:41:50,897 --> 00:41:56,269
thursday. And then it has to be

1022
00:41:52,432 --> 00:41:57,637
signed off by the mayor. And our

1023
00:41:56,336 --> 00:42:01,774
final vote on this is on the

1024
00:41:57,703 --> 00:42:04,177
30th. I noticed that the

1025
00:42:01,841 --> 00:42:08,681
deadlines listed in the nofo are

1026
00:42:04,277 --> 00:42:10,683
yond that time. So the

1027
00:42:08,748 --> 00:42:12,786
grants.gov deadline is 7/27.

1028
00:42:10,750 --> 00:42:16,289
which is now passed. And the

1029
00:42:12,852 --> 00:42:18,591
just grants deadline is 7/29,

1030
00:42:16,356 --> 00:42:20,426
which is tomorrow before our

1031
00:42:18,657 --> 00:42:24,797
cocil meeting. Wondering

1032
00:42:20,493 --> 00:42:25,598
how a we applying for thisf

1033
00:42:24,864 --> 00:42:26,833
it's past deadline?

1034
00:42:25,665 --> 00:42:28,702
» madam chair, actually, we

1035
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:29,768
were notified that it's been

1036
00:42:28,768 --> 00:42:31,437
extended beyond that. I believe

1037
00:42:29,835 --> 00:42:32,305
it's august. I can get you the

1038
00:42:31,504 --> 00:42:34,707
exact date if you'd like.

1039
00:42:32,372 --> 00:42:36,542
» think that would be good to

1040
00:42:34,774 --> 00:42:38,511
know. If you wanted -- if you're

1041
00:42:36,609 --> 00:42:40,780
able to pl it up or if you

1042
00:42:38,577 --> 00:42:43,783
want to do it via administrative

1043
00:42:40,847 --> 00:42:46,453
follow-up. Ihink that's

1044
00:42:43,850 --> 00:42:48,221
important. Yeah. Let's do

1045
00:42:46,519 --> 00:42:50,322
administrative follow-up,

1046
00:42:48,288 --> 00:42:52,392
commander. Don't worry about

1047
00:42:50,389 --> 00:42:56,195
pulling it up. If you can get it

1048
00:42:52,459 --> 00:42:57,296
and send it out via email, I

1049
00:42:56,262 --> 00:43:05,438
think that's heful. Those are

1050
00:42:57,363 --> 00:43:08,808
my comments. And I mean, given

1051
00:43:05,505 --> 00:43:10,276
the nature of the question that

1052
00:43:08,874 --> 00:43:12,879
council meer chavez asked, and

1053
00:43:10,343 --> 00:43:15,815
just like from my viewpoint on

1054
00:43:12,946 --> 00:43:16,682
the governance approach is I

1055
00:43:15,882 --> 00:43:18,551
personally don't feel

1056
00:43:16,749 --> 00:43:20,053
comfortable entering into this

1057
00:43:18,618 --> 00:43:21,721
grant. And I also feel like

1058
00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:24,457
there needs to be more

1059
00:43:21,788 --> 00:43:26,559
transparency on the nofo. We had

1060
00:43:24,524 --> 00:43:27,860
grants come before us, like the

1061
00:43:26,626 --> 00:43:30,396
burn grant, that didn't have

1062
00:43:27,927 --> 00:43:33,099
th type of langue and didn't

1063
00:43:30,463 --> 00:43:37,704
come from this bidened fund that

1064
00:43:37,771 --> 00:43:40,373
enforcement. So I will now

1065
00:43:39,438 --> 00:43:40,606
recognize council president

1066
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,975
payne.

1067
00:43:40,673 --> 00:43:44,777
» tha you, chair chowdhury. I

1068
00:43:43,042 --> 00:43:46,512
first want to thank the city

1069
00:43:44,844 --> 00:43:48,748
attorney's office, particularly

1070
00:43:46,579 --> 00:43:49,915
ms. Schutt. I think this is

1071
00:43:48,815 --> 00:43:52,051
really diligent legal analysis.

1072
00:43:49,982 --> 00:43:56,022
I also want to give a special

1073
00:43:52,118 --> 00:43:58,291
shout outo ms. Robinson, ms.

1074
00:43:56,089 --> 00:43:59,392
lathrop. We just recently won a

1075
00:43:58,358 --> 00:44:00,693
case in the minnesota supreme

1076
00:43:59,458 --> 00:44:02,962
court protecting our separation

1077
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,996
ordinance. I an, our

1078
00:44:03,029 --> 00:44:05,565
attorney's office is fighting

1079
00:44:04,063 --> 00:44:06,766
day in and day out to really

1080
00:44:05,631 --> 00:44:12,238
stand up for the values of the

1081
00:44:06,833 --> 00:44:15,041
city. And I say all that to say

1082
00:44:12,305 --> 00:44:16,743
that this is active and ongoing

1083
00:44:15,107 --> 00:44:18,110
litigation and legal conflict

1084
00:44:16,810 --> 00:44:20,747
with the federal administration.

1085
00:44:18,177 --> 00:44:23,382
and one of thfirst things that

1086
00:44:20,814 --> 00:44:24,650
we did at the beginning of 2025

1087
00:44:23,482 --> 00:44:26,419
s authorize the city

1088
00:44:24,717 --> 00:44:27,253
attorney's office to proactively

1089
00:44:26,486 --> 00:44:28,654
engage with the trump

1090
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,022
administration. And the we

1091
00:44:28,721 --> 00:44:31,390
renewed that because we had set

1092
00:44:30,089 --> 00:44:33,459
an expiration date for the end

1093
00:44:31,457 --> 00:44:34,594
of 2025. When we realized for

1094
00:44:33,526 --> 00:44:36,362
the duration of the trump

1095
00:44:34,661 --> 00:44:38,063
administration we are going to

1096
00:44:36,429 --> 00:44:40,099
have to be an active litigation

1097
00:44:38,130 --> 00:44:42,368
and activy fighting out the

1098
00:44:40,166 --> 00:44:43,636
values of this city that's just

1099
00:44:42,435 --> 00:44:47,039
the background and context I

1100
00:44:43,703 --> 00:44:49,342
want to share with why ion't

1101
00:44:47,106 --> 00:44:51,477
be supporting this is because we

1102
00:44:49,409 --> 00:44:52,812
are not operating in a really

1103
00:44:51,544 --> 00:44:56,549
stable legal terrain right now

1104
00:44:52,878 --> 00:44:58,584
when itomes to this. This

1105
00:44:57,650 --> 00:44:59,986
troubling as council member

1106
00:44:58,651 --> 00:45:01,721
chavezas highlighte and

1107
00:45:00,052 --> 00:45:04,023
we've got strong legal analysis.

1108
00:45:01,788 --> 00:45:08,261
buthat legal analysis is based

1109
00:45:04,090 --> 00:45:09,962
on today's case law. And we are

1110
00:45:08,328 --> 00:45:11,931
not done litigating what that

1111
00:45:10,029 --> 00:45:13,166
case law is going to be as it

1112
00:45:11,998 --> 00:45:16,135
relates to our relationship to

1113
00:45:13,233 --> 00:45:18,704
the feder gornment. And so

1114
00:45:16,202 --> 00:45:19,505
if we were under different

1115
00:45:18,771 --> 00:45:26,378
circumstances, I mean, the value

1116
00:45:22,442 --> 00:45:29,916
is clear. The need is clear. I

1117
00:45:26,445 --> 00:45:32,285
am hopeful that, youknow, we're

1118
00:45:29,983 --> 00:45:32,919
not operating under a dismantled

1119
00:45:32,352 --> 00:45:36,556
system. We have a functioning

1120
00:45:32,986 --> 00:45:38,357
system. We are at risk just due

1121
00:45:36,623 --> 00:45:39,625
to age that that system won't be

1122
00:45:38,424 --> 00:45:41,126
functioning anymore. B it's

1123
00:45:39,692 --> 00:45:44,831
not a non-functional system at

1124
00:45:41,193 --> 00:45:47,600
this time. And I just think that

1125
00:45:44,898 --> 00:45:48,267
the risk of the federal

1126
00:45:47,667 --> 00:45:50,236
government, like even with

1127
00:45:48,334 --> 00:45:51,905
strong legal analysis, which I

1128
00:45:50,302 --> 00:45:55,975
do believe we have I don't

1129
00:45:51,971 --> 00:45:57,643
think that strongegal analysis

1130
00:45:56,042 --> 00:45:59,545
reallyters when they will

1131
00:45:57,710 --> 00:46:01,347
execute o residents. When they

1132
00:45:59,612 --> 00:46:03,549
will assault me personally. I

1133
00:46:01,414 --> 00:46:07,053
might be a little bit biased

1134
00:46:03,616 --> 00:46:08,488
here. But my own persol 4th

1135
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,589
amendment righ have been

1136
00:46:08,554 --> 00:46:11,624
violated by the federal

1137
00:46:09,656 --> 00:46:12,758
government. Not hypothetically,

1138
00:46:11,691 --> 00:46:14,193
literally. And I just don't

1139
00:46:12,825 --> 00:46:15,962
think that risk is worth it at

1140
00:46:14,259 --> 00:46:16,762
thistime. And maybe in

1141
00:46:16,028 --> 00:46:18,431
partnership with council member

1142
00:46:16,829 --> 00:46:21,000
chavez, we can make sure that we

1143
00:46:18,498 --> 00:46:21,901
have really strong legal

1144
00:46:21,067 --> 00:46:23,469
protections if ts does move

1145
00:46:21,968 --> 00:46:25,538
forward. But again, this does

1146
00:46:23,536 --> 00:46:28,274
ha to come back for a final

1147
00:46:25,605 --> 00:46:29,375
vote. But I don't even want t

1148
00:46:28,341 --> 00:46:31,711
entertain it at this time given

1149
00:46:29,442 --> 00:46:33,479
that conte. In fact, I would

1150
00:46:31,778 --> 00:46:34,280
make a motion to forward this

1151
00:46:33,545 --> 00:46:39,685
without recommendation. If

1152
00:46:34,346 --> 00:46:48,261
there's a second for that.

1153
00:46:39,752 --> 00:46:49,762
» second.

1154
00:46:48,328 --> 00:46:51,430
» counc member vetaw.

1155
00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:53,933
» thank you, chair. I don't

1156
00:46:51,497 --> 00:46:55,735
know if I'm allowed, but my

1157
00:46:53,999 --> 00:46:56,735
question really is for council

1158
00:46:55,802 --> 00:46:59,839
member chavez. Because I do

1159
00:46:56,802 --> 00:47:01,774
think you get to ask whatever

1160
00:46:59,905 --> 00:47:03,876
question you want. To council

1161
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,411
member chavez, the question is

1162
00:47:03,943 --> 00:47:09,115
you raised the point about like

1163
00:47:05,477 --> 00:47:11,150
what we're required to do. With

1164
00:47:09,182 --> 00:47:14,019
the contract. And I've been

1165
00:47:11,217 --> 00:47:16,588
waiting for close to two years

1166
00:47:14,086 --> 00:47:18,691
fo dollars to be released from

1167
00:47:16,655 --> 00:47:21,360
the federal administration based

1168
00:47:18,758 --> 00:47:23,029
on language that they, like,

1169
00:47:21,427 --> 00:47:24,864
very specific language that was

1170
00:47:23,095 --> 00:47:26,399
used in a contract for a

1171
00:47:24,930 --> 00:47:28,935
railroad grant that literally

1172
00:47:26,465 --> 00:47:30,703
had nothing to do with

1173
00:47:29,002 --> 00:47:32,905
immigration services. And so

1174
00:47:30,770 --> 00:47:36,642
they hadctual language in this

1175
00:47:32,972 --> 00:47:39,679
contract that said we needed to

1176
00:47:36,709 --> 00:47:42,381
work with ice, essentially, to

1177
00:47:42,448 --> 00:47:44,917
litigate that for almt two

1178
00:47:43,216 --> 00:47:46,285
years. I mean, it was very

1179
00:47:44,984 --> 00:47:48,187
specific. It was not vague at

1180
00:47:46,352 --> 00:47:50,089
all. There was no question what

1181
00:47:48,287 --> 00:47:52,191
ey were requiring for us to

1182
00:47:50,156 --> 00:47:54,460
do, and that is why we rejected

1183
00:47:52,258 --> 00:47:56,696
the grant. So maybe to the city

1184
00:47:54,527 --> 00:47:58,731
attorney, I mean, the things

1185
00:47:56,763 --> 00:48:01,033
th have been in litigation

1186
00:47:58,798 --> 00:48:03,402
have been very clear about like

1187
00:48:03,469 --> 00:48:11,043
the federal government for us to

1188
00:48:06,839 --> 00:48:11,944
receive money, I thought.

1189
00:48:11,110 --> 00:48:13,112
» through the chair, council

1190
00:48:12,011 --> 00:48:16,282
member vetaw, so I believe

1191
00:48:13,178 --> 00:48:18,184
you're talking about the

1192
00:48:16,349 --> 00:48:19,619
connecting camden grant which I

1193
00:48:18,250 --> 00:48:20,620
still pending.

1194
00:48:19,685 --> 00:48:22,422
» yes.

1195
00:48:20,686 --> 00:48:24,490
» and it did have language in

1196
00:48:22,488 --> 00:48:26,192
this pertaining to ice and

1197
00:48:24,557 --> 00:48:27,293
immigration enforcement.

1198
00:48:26,259 --> 00:48:28,661
specifically, some of the

1199
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,364
similar terms to what we saw

1200
00:48:28,728 --> 00:48:32,298
here. And we do have an active

1201
00:48:31,431 --> 00:48:37,436
injunction that would prohibit

1202
00:48:35,268 --> 00:48:40,306
your point, negotiated those to

1203
00:48:37,503 --> 00:48:41,707
terms out to that grant so tt

1204
00:48:40,373 --> 00:48:43,810
the grant is still not complete,

1205
00:48:41,774 --> 00:48:46,545
to your point. We are still

1206
00:48:43,876 --> 00:48:49,348
waiting for final signature on

1207
00:48:46,612 --> 00:48:50,917
that grant. But the draft of the

1208
00:48:49,415 --> 00:48:54,620
grant that is the most recent

1209
00:48:50,983 --> 00:48:56,589
grant does have an exception to

1210
00:48:54,686 --> 00:48:57,189
those terms due to the lawsuits

1211
00:48:56,656 --> 00:48:59,525
we negotiated.

1212
00:48:57,256 --> 00:49:01,527
» I guess what I'm trying to

1213
00:48:59,592 --> 00:49:03,162
get at here is none of this

1214
00:49:01,594 --> 00:49:06,499
money we want to compromise what

1215
00:49:03,229 --> 00:49:09,369
we feel as a city. Not only was

1216
00:49:06,565 --> 00:49:11,170
the connecting camden grant,

1217
00:49:09,435 --> 00:49:13,272
which was extremely important to

1218
00:49:11,237 --> 00:49:14,173
this community, rejected by the

1219
00:49:13,339 --> 00:49:16,042
administration, think anything

1220
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:18,144
else that came in with that sort

1221
00:49:16,109 --> 00:49:19,578
of language has been rejected.

1222
00:49:18,211 --> 00:49:24,450
and we worked as a city

1223
00:49:19,645 --> 00:49:25,684
enterprise to make sure we don't

1224
00:49:24,517 --> 00:49:27,086
compromise oselves or the

1225
00:49:25,751 --> 00:49:29,021
residents like that. I feel like

1226
00:49:27,153 --> 00:49:30,523
I need to ask this because the

1227
00:49:29,087 --> 00:49:33,759
questions keep coming up. Like

1228
00:49:30,590 --> 00:49:35,294
is ts going to be the same

1229
00:49:33,826 --> 00:49:37,196
thing for everything that we g

1230
00:49:35,361 --> 00:49:39,832
from the federal government? Are

1231
00:49:37,263 --> 00:49:40,967
our city attorneys and the mayor

1232
00:49:39,899 --> 00:49:43,569
and the council going to

1233
00:49:41,033 --> 00:49:46,472
continue to fight the same way

1234
00:49:43,636 --> 00:49:47,606
we have since this

1235
00:49:46,539 --> 00:49:48,774
administration took office? Like

1236
00:49:47,673 --> 00:49:50,843
is tt the commitment from all

1237
00:49:48,841 --> 00:49:55,014
of us and the city attorney's

1238
00:49:53,346 --> 00:49:56,382
compromise who we are as leaders

1239
00:49:55,081 --> 00:49:57,483
and let something slip through?

1240
00:49:56,449 --> 00:50:00,052
I don't think that that's the

1241
00:49:57,549 --> 00:50:02,288
case here. And so I'm okay with

1242
00:50:00,119 --> 00:50:06,592
supporting this because I know

1243
00:50:02,355 --> 00:50:07,559
how many conversations I've had

1244
00:50:06,659 --> 00:50:10,329
with not only the attorneys

1245
00:50:07,626 --> 00:50:12,498
folks that are suing along with

1246
00:50:10,396 --> 00:50:14,600
our city in lawsuits similar.

1247
00:50:12,565 --> 00:50:15,901
other citie who've had to sue,

1248
00:50:14,666 --> 00:50:18,604
that we've had to model what

1249
00:50:15,968 --> 00:50:20,272
they've done. The mayor's

1250
00:50:18,671 --> 00:50:22,007
office. My colleagues that we

1251
00:50:20,339 --> 00:50:23,876
won't compromise who we are as a

1252
00:50:22,074 --> 00:50:26,045
city to receive money from the

1253
00:50:23,943 --> 00:50:27,280
federal government at all. Like

1254
00:50:26,111 --> 00:50:30,983
I think that's been clear since

1255
00:50:27,346 --> 00:50:47,300
day one. That we will not do

1256
00:50:31,050 --> 00:50:48,734
that. We're not going to

1257
00:50:47,366 --> 00:50:51,303
comprose our residents. We've

1258
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,671
done a good job of expressing

1259
00:50:51,370 --> 00:50:54,774
that not how we roll around

1260
00:50:52,738 --> 00:50:56,142
here. So I don't think that

1261
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,476
anyone would come into this

1262
00:50:56,209 --> 00:50:58,911
chambers before this body,

1263
00:50:57,543 --> 00:51:00,612
before the mayor, before the

1264
00:50:58,977 --> 00:51:03,048
city attorney's office with

1265
00:51:00,679 --> 00:51:03,949
something that they think would

1266
00:51:03,115 --> 00:51:07,453
compromise what we've stated

1267
00:51:04,016 --> 00:51:08,754
very clearly on our own personal

1268
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:15,127
platforms, professional

1269
00:51:10,256 --> 00:51:17,429
thing we've done in the last

1270
00:51:15,194 --> 00:51:18,331
year and a half of this entire

1271
00:51:17,496 --> 00:51:19,899
administration has been around,

1272
00:51:18,397 --> 00:51:21,434
we're standing together as a

1273
00:51:19,966 --> 00:51:24,236
city. And if the one thing we

1274
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:25,504
can agree on fighting, its

1275
00:51:24,303 --> 00:51:27,973
this administration, especially

1276
00:51:25,571 --> 00:51:30,076
when they're comprising who we

1277
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:32,444
are as minneapolis. So I'm happy

1278
00:51:30,510 --> 00:51:34,646
move forward with this. I'm

1279
00:51:32,511 --> 00:51:36,415
also confident in that if

1280
00:51:34,713 --> 00:51:38,317
something came up not only with

1281
00:51:36,482 --> 00:51:40,352
the city attorneys, the police

1282
00:51:38,384 --> 00:51:41,287
department, know you all

1283
00:51:40,419 --> 00:51:44,723
certainly don't want another

1284
00:51:41,353 --> 00:51:47,726
scandal on your hands. And so

1285
00:51:44,790 --> 00:51:49,394
I'm certain that folks will com

1286
00:51:47,793 --> 00:51:51,396
and talk to us if something is

1287
00:51:49,461 --> 00:51:53,899
out of order here. But we have

1288
00:51:52,265 --> 00:51:55,334
think about what this does

1289
00:51:53,966 --> 00:51:56,902
for -- what this grant will do

1290
00:51:55,401 --> 00:51:58,671
forhe community, especially

1291
00:51:56,968 --> 00:52:00,339
when we're in a budget crisis

1292
00:51:58,737 --> 00:52:02,341
right now. Like what we're

1293
00:52:00,405 --> 00:52:04,977
talking about here. If this

1294
00:52:02,408 --> 00:52:06,778
grant can assist us in a

1295
00:52:05,043 --> 00:52:08,681
financial crisis, then I think

1296
00:52:06,845 --> 00:52:10,316
we should at least try. I

1297
00:52:08,747 --> 00:52:12,351
something comes up that is

1298
00:52:10,382 --> 00:52:16,322
compromising us, then I'm with

1299
00:52:12,417 --> 00:52:17,289
council member chavez, I say no,

1300
00:52:16,389 --> 00:52:20,626
period. Thank you.

1301
00:52:17,356 --> 00:52:22,995
» thank you. Next, we'll go to

1302
00:52:20,693 --> 00:52:24,964
council member whiting.

1303
00:52:23,061 --> 00:52:29,969
» thank you, chair chowdhury.

1304
00:52:25,031 --> 00:52:31,837
and probably a few questions. I

1305
00:52:30,036 --> 00:52:33,172
think we're speaking about

1306
00:52:31,903 --> 00:52:34,507
prram and kind of grants. I'm

1307
00:52:33,238 --> 00:52:36,242
trying to get a dper

1308
00:52:34,573 --> 00:52:38,177
understanding of wha we have

1309
00:52:36,308 --> 00:52:39,745
before us and what this grant

1310
00:52:38,244 --> 00:52:41,347
applicatio process looks like.

1311
00:52:39,812 --> 00:52:42,114
and so for kind of the language

1312
00:52:41,413 --> 00:52:44,550
that council member chavez is

1313
00:52:42,180 --> 00:52:47,720
speaking to, and I think all of

1314
00:52:44,617 --> 00:52:50,823
us have concerns about, within

1315
00:52:47,787 --> 00:52:55,027
the kind of nofo, the notice of

1316
00:52:50,889 --> 00:52:56,795
funding opportunity, can you --

1317
00:52:55,094 --> 00:52:59,364
at which you can, can you speak

1318
00:52:56,862 --> 00:53:01,333
to us about what nofos are

1319
00:52:59,431 --> 00:53:02,468
broadly and where this language

1320
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,504
isoming from?

1321
00:53:02,534 --> 00:53:07,506
» sure. Through the chair,

1322
00:53:05,571 --> 00:53:10,042
council member whiting, nofos

1323
00:53:07,573 --> 00:53:11,477
are notes of funding

1324
00:53:10,109 --> 00:53:13,479
opportunity. They are documents

1325
00:53:11,543 --> 00:53:17,249
put out by the federal

1326
00:53:13,545 --> 00:53:21,620
government and governments at

1327
00:53:17,315 --> 00:53:22,621
various levels providing

1328
00:53:21,686 --> 00:53:23,121
sometimes competitive and

1329
00:53:22,688 --> 00:53:27,593
sotimes uniform grant

1330
00:53:23,188 --> 00:53:30,129
opportunities. So any interested

1331
00:53:27,660 --> 00:53:31,697
party can read the nofo and

1332
00:53:30,195 --> 00:53:33,366
submit an application to receive

1333
00:53:31,764 --> 00:53:37,803
grant funding. So this

1334
00:53:33,432 --> 00:53:40,539
particular nofo is for the -- I

1335
00:53:37,870 --> 00:53:42,808
forget the name. It is long. The

1336
00:53:40,606 --> 00:53:43,776
national integrated ballistic

1337
00:53:42,875 --> 00:53:45,744
information modernization

1338
00:53:43,843 --> 00:53:48,413
program through the department

1339
00:53:45,811 --> 00:53:52,050
of justice. And t funding for

1340
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:56,722
that program, the nibin program,

1341
00:53:52,117 --> 00:54:00,126
for short, com fm a recently

1342
00:53:56,789 --> 00:54:02,328
passed section of trump's I

1343
00:54:00,192 --> 00:54:04,763
believe it's the one big

1344
00:54:02,394 --> 00:54:07,500
beautiful bill. The particular

1345
00:54:04,830 --> 00:54:09,135
section of that bill that

1346
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,736
thorized this grant program

1347
00:54:09,201 --> 00:54:11,937
and funding has language in it

1348
00:54:10,802 --> 00:54:13,605
related to various things that

1349
00:54:12,004 --> 00:54:21,113
the grant funding can be used

1350
00:54:13,672 --> 00:54:24,583
for. And among those things are

1351
00:54:21,180 --> 00:54:27,186
uses such as enhancing the

1352
00:54:24,650 --> 00:54:33,893
capacity of governments to

1353
00:54:27,252 --> 00:54:36,295
locate and apprehend quote

1354
00:54:33,959 --> 00:54:36,929
aliens who have committed -- and

1355
00:54:36,362 --> 00:54:37,996
languages that council member

1356
00:54:36,996 --> 00:54:40,266
chavez read. Those are types of

1357
00:54:38,063 --> 00:54:42,034
uses that are allowable under

1358
00:54:40,332 --> 00:54:45,504
that authorizing statute. They

1359
00:54:42,101 --> 00:54:48,307
ar not the only uses of funding

1360
00:54:45,571 --> 00:54:49,842
allowable under that statute.

1361
00:54:48,374 --> 00:54:51,444
» thank you. And just so I can

1362
00:54:49,908 --> 00:54:54,046
kind of clarify it in my mind.

1363
00:54:51,510 --> 00:54:58,617
these kind of nofos allow for a

1364
00:54:54,112 --> 00:55:00,953
purpose of funding and these

1365
00:54:58,684 --> 00:55:02,287
are, to couil member chavez's

1366
00:55:01,020 --> 00:55:07,393
point, language in here that

1367
00:55:02,354 --> 00:55:10,529
will allow f avenues such as

1368
00:55:07,459 --> 00:55:12,531
apprehend aliens or illegal

1369
00:55:10,596 --> 00:55:13,866
aliens as noted in the nofo.

1370
00:55:12,598 --> 00:55:16,035
but there is nothing that

1371
00:55:13,933 --> 00:55:18,804
requires in either the nofo or

1372
00:55:16,101 --> 00:55:21,940
an attached mou, there's nothing

1373
00:55:18,871 --> 00:55:23,075
that requires this grant to be

1374
00:55:22,007 --> 00:55:23,342
used for those specific

1375
00:55:23,141 --> 00:55:25,610
purposes.

1376
00:55:23,408 --> 00:55:27,179
» that's correct. The section

1377
00:55:25,677 --> 00:55:28,480
that council member chavez read

1378
00:55:27,246 --> 00:55:32,684
from was from the first section

1379
00:55:28,546 --> 00:55:35,654
of the nofo. The purposes. But

1380
00:55:32,751 --> 00:55:38,090
that is not the section that is

1381
00:55:35,721 --> 00:55:40,226
required use of funding. Goals

1382
00:55:38,157 --> 00:55:43,462
and objectives of this funding

1383
00:55:40,292 --> 00:55:45,431
sectn that includes more

1384
00:55:43,528 --> 00:55:47,332
specific targeted uses of the

1385
00:55:45,498 --> 00:55:51,470
funds, and then as I'm sure my

1386
00:55:47,399 --> 00:55:54,072
colleagues would be able to tell

1387
00:55:51,537 --> 00:55:55,874
you more out, as an applicant,

1388
00:55:54,139 --> 00:55:59,945
you provi a program narrative

1389
00:55:55,941 --> 00:56:01,680
of how you intend to use the

1390
00:56:00,011 --> 00:56:03,515
funds that comports with those

1391
00:56:01,747 --> 00:56:06,952
goals and objectives.

1392
00:56:03,582 --> 00:56:07,920
» that's really helpful. Thank

1393
00:56:07,019 --> 00:56:10,555
you for the clarification.

1394
00:56:07,987 --> 00:56:12,291
» thank you. Next, we'll go to

1395
00:56:10,622 --> 00:56:16,762
council member warren.

1396
00:56:12,358 --> 00:56:18,497
» thank you, chair. I want to

1397
00:56:16,829 --> 00:56:20,632
support this because I

1398
00:56:18,564 --> 00:56:23,168
understand the importance of

1399
00:56:20,699 --> 00:56:25,937
ballistic testing, and I really

1400
00:56:23,235 --> 00:56:28,473
want to solve the unsolved

1401
00:56:26,004 --> 00:56:30,743
murders and homicides and acts

1402
00:56:28,540 --> 00:56:32,177
of violee that have

1403
00:56:30,809 --> 00:56:34,346
perpetuated violence throughout

1404
00:56:32,244 --> 00:56:36,081
our community. I understand that

1405
00:56:34,413 --> 00:56:37,916
it is something that is

1406
00:56:36,148 --> 00:56:40,285
uncomfortable because aot of

1407
00:56:37,983 --> 00:56:42,788
times we don't suspect that some

1408
00:56:40,352 --> 00:56:45,691
of our neighbors who appear to

1409
00:56:42,855 --> 00:56:46,325
be one way towards us can be

1410
00:56:45,757 --> 00:56:51,864
anothe way towards something

1411
00:56:46,391 --> 00:56:53,499
else. A I don't know here in

1412
00:56:51,931 --> 00:56:54,800
the state of minnesota, I've

1413
00:56:53,566 --> 00:56:59,505
never seen an alien before in my

1414
00:56:54,867 --> 00:57:01,940
life. Okay. I've never seen a

1415
00:56:59,571 --> 00:57:04,343
spaceship pull up. I've never

1416
00:57:02,007 --> 00:57:06,612
seen anybody green jumpp off

1417
00:57:04,410 --> 00:57:10,616
of there or anything of that

1418
00:57:06,679 --> 00:57:12,685
sorts. But if they come here and

1419
00:57:10,683 --> 00:57:13,785
cutting up, need to know

1420
00:57:12,751 --> 00:57:16,221
there's something put in place

1421
00:57:13,852 --> 00:57:18,857
where we can dl with those

1422
00:57:16,288 --> 00:57:19,791
people accordingly. I know there

1423
00:57:18,924 --> 00:57:21,326
are individuals who are

1424
00:57:19,858 --> 00:57:23,762
committi crimes, like I said

1425
00:57:21,393 --> 00:57:27,432
before, we did not suspect

1426
00:57:23,829 --> 00:57:28,800
beyond a shadow of a doubt that

1427
00:57:27,499 --> 00:57:30,402
that was something they would be

1428
00:57:28,867 --> 00:57:32,938
doing. They appeared one way to

1429
00:57:30,468 --> 00:57:35,107
us and they do something else

1430
00:57:33,004 --> 00:57:36,742
somewhere else. Marilyn manson,

1431
00:57:35,174 --> 00:57:39,511
great person. Wonderful dad. All

1432
00:57:36,809 --> 00:57:44,750
of these gre things. But then

1433
00:57:39,577 --> 00:57:45,984
a heinous serial killer doing

1434
00:57:44,817 --> 00:57:47,753
something else. You just never

1435
00:57:46,051 --> 00:57:49,154
know. But if this machine and

1436
00:57:47,820 --> 00:57:52,324
this equipment and these

1437
00:57:49,221 --> 00:57:53,692
testings a going to prove that

1438
00:57:52,391 --> 00:57:55,994
someone was involved or they're

1439
00:57:53,759 --> 00:57:58,230
able to trace it back to

1440
00:57:56,061 --> 00:58:00,332
firearms like I want to keep the

1441
00:57:58,297 --> 00:58:02,100
focusn that part of solving

1442
00:58:00,399 --> 00:58:03,369
crimes because I just really

1443
00:58:02,167 --> 00:58:06,004
want safer communies. And if

1444
00:58:03,435 --> 00:58:07,573
it means that we're going to end

1445
00:58:06,071 --> 00:58:09,308
up apprehending some individuals

1446
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,377
who are even in law enforcement

1447
00:58:09,375 --> 00:58:13,478
or apprehending individuals who

1448
00:58:11,443 --> 00:58:15,581
are in other fields of public

1449
00:58:13,545 --> 00:58:17,616
safety or people who are doing,

1450
00:58:15,648 --> 00:58:18,583
then guess what? Nobody is

1451
00:58:17,682 --> 00:58:20,618
without being reproved. I'm just

1452
00:58:18,650 --> 00:58:23,488
going to say that. So if there's

1453
00:58:20,685 --> 00:58:25,624
some things that need to be done

1454
00:58:23,555 --> 00:58:28,660
in order to clean up our justice

1455
00:58:25,691 --> 00:58:29,428
system and ensure that we are

1456
00:58:28,727 --> 00:58:31,496
charging people appropriate with

1457
00:58:29,495 --> 00:58:32,598
the crimes that they have

1458
00:58:31,563 --> 00:58:36,301
committed and accountability is

1459
00:58:32,664 --> 00:58:40,772
going to be present, then sign

1460
00:58:36,368 --> 00:58:42,007
me up twice. I don't believe in

1461
00:58:40,839 --> 00:58:44,977
individuals bng targeted

1462
00:58:42,074 --> 00:58:46,812
around any type of immigration

1463
00:58:45,043 --> 00:58:49,147
status at all whatsoever. Do not

1464
00:58:46,879 --> 00:58:50,549
target anyone based on their

1465
00:58:49,214 --> 00:58:52,484
citizenship or anythin like

1466
00:58:50,616 --> 00:58:53,885
that. But like I said, I've

1467
00:58:52,551 --> 00:58:57,355
never have seen an alien before

1468
00:58:53,952 --> 00:59:00,125
in my life. So I don't know who

1469
00:58:57,422 --> 00:59:00,725
this grant application thing is

1470
00:59:00,192 --> 00:59:02,794
calling aliens because I've

1471
00:59:00,792 --> 00:59:04,463
never seen any. But if there are

1472
00:59:02,861 --> 00:59:06,264
people who are committing crimes

1473
00:59:04,530 --> 00:59:08,166
who are doing things out here

1474
00:59:06,331 --> 00:59:09,735
that they have no business

1475
00:59:08,233 --> 00:59:11,903
doing, then those people need to

1476
00:59:09,802 --> 00:59:13,772
be dealt with accordingly. And I

1477
00:59:11,970 --> 00:59:15,540
was hoping that there was a plan

1478
00:59:13,839 --> 00:59:16,875
in order to get them off of the

1479
00:59:15,607 --> 00:59:19,244
street so that other people can

1480
00:59:16,942 --> 00:59:21,780
go on with their natural lives.

1481
00:59:19,311 --> 00:59:24,650
that's what I have to say. And

1482
00:59:21,847 --> 00:59:26,184
so I'm interested in supporting

1483
00:59:24,717 --> 00:59:30,556
it because I want crimes solved.

1484
00:59:26,251 --> 00:59:32,024
I do. There is a lot of

1485
00:59:30,622 --> 00:59:32,925
situations with unsolved murders

1486
00:59:32,091 --> 00:59:35,427
and childr and young people

1487
00:59:32,991 --> 00:59:38,764
and elders and people who have

1488
00:59:35,493 --> 00:59:40,732
been harmed and injured by

1489
00:59:38,831 --> 00:59:44,169
firearms, and I just want any

1490
00:59:40,832 --> 00:59:46,471
y that we can figure out who's

1491
00:59:44,236 --> 00:59:48,239
responsible for that, then let's

1492
00:59:46,538 --> 00:59:49,975
go with that method of making

1493
00:59:48,306 --> 00:59:50,809
sure that we are holding people

1494
00:59:50,042 --> 00:59:52,811
accountable for the cmes that

1495
00:59:50,876 --> 00:59:53,145
they've committed.

1496
00:59:52,878 --> 00:59:55,647
» thank you.

1497
00:59:53,211 --> 00:59:56,415
» the end.

1498
00:59:55,714 --> 00:59:58,550
» thank you. Next I'll

1499
00:59:56,482 --> 01:00:01,753
recognize council member chavez.

1500
00:59:58,617 --> 01:00:02,687
» thank you, chair chughtai. I

1501
01:00:01,820 --> 01:00:07,358
think the fedal government

1502
01:00:02,754 --> 01:00:08,293
when they're saying aliens,

1503
01:00:07,425 --> 01:00:10,495
they're referring to

1504
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:12,430
undocumented immigrants. I just

1505
01:00:10,562 --> 01:00:18,603
want t provide the context

1506
01:00:12,497 --> 01:00:20,638
they're explicitly naming

1507
01:00:18,670 --> 01:00:24,809
undocumented neighbors as aliens

1508
01:00:20,705 --> 01:00:25,878
and illegal. I will be working

1509
01:00:24,876 --> 01:00:27,479
with the city attorney's office

1510
01:00:25,944 --> 01:00:28,313
to share the language that I

1511
01:00:27,546 --> 01:00:31,583
have draft on a resolution

1512
01:00:28,380 --> 01:00:34,419
that I will be attaching to this

1513
01:00:31,650 --> 01:00:35,587
nofo that literally condemns the

1514
01:00:34,486 --> 01:00:38,056
way our undocumented neighbors

1515
01:00:35,653 --> 01:00:39,091
are being called on in this

1516
01:00:38,123 --> 01:00:43,795
document that put requirements

1517
01:00:39,158 --> 01:00:45,931
on this, if we were to move

1518
01:00:43,862 --> 01:00:47,899
forward with seeking this grant

1519
01:00:45,997 --> 01:00:50,836
asking for written clarification

1520
01:00:47,966 --> 01:00:52,804
from this agency on if they

1521
01:00:50,903 --> 01:00:54,239
would interpret our separation

1522
01:00:52,871 --> 01:00:57,476
ordinance being in violation if

1523
01:00:54,306 --> 01:01:00,278
we would seek this. What they

1524
01:00:57,542 --> 01:01:02,481
woul mean by dhs notice.

1525
01:01:00,345 --> 01:01:04,216
whether they would interpret us

1526
01:01:02,548 --> 01:01:05,717
accepting this grant, us

1527
01:01:04,282 --> 01:01:06,417
violating our civil rights

1528
01:01:05,783 --> 01:01:08,587
ordinance because cil rights

1529
01:01:06,484 --> 01:01:10,589
is mentioned in this nofo, and

1530
01:01:08,653 --> 01:01:11,757
other stuff that I think we need

1531
01:01:10,656 --> 01:01:13,091
to have written clarification

1532
01:01:11,824 --> 01:01:14,226
from. Because what I don't

1533
01:01:13,157 --> 01:01:16,761
believe is the federal

1534
01:01:14,293 --> 01:01:18,429
government. They have known to

1535
01:01:16,828 --> 01:01:19,931
lie about coming to minneapolis

1536
01:01:18,496 --> 01:01:22,267
to address cre, but what

1537
01:01:19,998 --> 01:01:23,902
they're doing is taking innocent

1538
01:01:22,334 --> 01:01:25,837
moms, fathers and ds away from

1539
01:01:23,969 --> 01:01:27,038
our city. I want to make sure if

1540
01:01:25,904 --> 01:01:29,141
folks are going to move forward

1541
01:01:27,105 --> 01:01:31,376
with this, I'm going to attach a

1542
01:01:29,208 --> 01:01:33,244
resolution because I have the

1543
01:01:31,443 --> 01:01:34,579
responsibility to represent my

1544
01:01:33,311 --> 01:01:38,750
constituents and making sure the

1545
01:01:37,282 --> 01:01:39,050
could be impacting our hing that

1546
01:01:38,817 --> 01:01:41,353
residents.

1547
01:01:39,117 --> 01:01:41,887
» thank you. Next, I'll

1548
01:01:41,420 --> 01:01:42,154
recognize council member

1549
01:01:41,953 --> 01:01:44,589
shaffer.

1550
01:01:42,220 --> 01:01:46,191
» yes, I'll be brief. Thank

1551
01:01:44,656 --> 01:01:47,526
you, council member chavez for

1552
01:01:46,258 --> 01:01:49,427
sharing your heart. And I'll

1553
01:01:47,593 --> 01:01:49,994
look forward to seeing wt you

1554
01:01:49,494 --> 01:01:52,564
bring forward around this

1555
01:01:50,061 --> 01:01:54,166
resolution. And if it's

1556
01:01:52,631 --> 01:01:57,168
something that we can indeed

1557
01:01:54,233 --> 01:01:59,638
attach, I appreciate that work.

1558
01:01:57,235 --> 01:02:01,807
I aed today I have to say on

1559
01:01:59,705 --> 01:02:03,842
the heels of ward 7 being on the

1560
01:02:01,874 --> 01:02:06,111
border of what happened this

1561
01:02:03,909 --> 01:02:07,813
week and the tremendous

1562
01:02:06,178 --> 01:02:14,085
violence, this is something I

1563
01:02:07,879 --> 01:02:16,288
have to support. We see what

1564
01:02:14,152 --> 01:02:17,622
this technolog brings to

1565
01:02:16,355 --> 01:02:19,558
insight for mpd in trying to

1566
01:02:17,689 --> 01:02:22,327
find out the perpetrators of

1567
01:02:19,625 --> 01:02:23,495
some of these crimes. And we

1568
01:02:22,394 --> 01:02:25,897
cannot have this bece the norm

1569
01:02:23,562 --> 01:02:28,300
on our streets. We need these

1570
01:02:25,964 --> 01:02:31,503
tools to be able to find those

1571
01:02:28,367 --> 01:02:32,103
who are committing these heinous

1572
01:02:31,569 --> 01:02:35,774
crimes. And get them off the

1573
01:02:32,170 --> 01:02:40,078
streets. And so I will be

1574
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:41,813
supporting this. I'm a little

1575
01:02:40,145 --> 01:02:43,248
surprised at the conversation.

1576
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,983
but will be following up with

1577
01:02:43,315 --> 01:02:46,885
the city attorney's office to be

1578
01:02:45,050 --> 01:02:50,989
able to understand what our

1579
01:02:46,952 --> 01:02:54,259
process is. But I just really am

1580
01:02:51,056 --> 01:03:02,400
grateful for the thoughts today.

1581
01:02:54,326 --> 01:03:03,067

overview of where this direction

andr hoggins. The staff

01:04:54,045 --> 01:04:58,016
direction resembles a lot of the

1641
01:04:56,048 --> 01:05:00,352
pieces that we see in staff

1642
01:04:58,082 --> 01:05:02,186
directions lro in that it asks

1643
01:05:00,419 --> 01:05:04,790
uso understand what is the

1644
01:05:02,253 --> 01:05:07,158
landscape of the legislative

1645
01:05:04,856 --> 01:05:08,593
budget process as it exists in

1646
01:05:07,225 --> 01:05:11,862
comparable cities and pull out

1647
01:05:08,660 --> 01:05:13,264
any examples that would benefit

1648
01:05:11,929 --> 01:05:16,034
the council for consideration as

1649
01:05:13,331 --> 01:05:18,603
we kinda head into this

1650
01:05:16,101 --> 01:05:20,305
transition following the mayor's

1651
01:05:18,670 --> 01:05:22,040
budget address and delivery on

1652
01:05:20,372 --> 01:05:23,341
the 24th of august to the budget

1653
01:05:22,107 --> 01:05:25,544
coittee. We wanted to make

1654
01:05:23,408 --> 01:05:27,579
sure we're being timely to get

1655
01:05:25,610 --> 01:05:29,314
this information t council for

1656
01:05:27,646 --> 01:05:30,848
consideration in advance of that

1657
01:05:29,381 --> 01:05:32,850
timeline so that any tools that

1658
01:05:30,915 --> 01:05:34,252
we observe across other

1659
01:05:32,917 --> 01:05:35,720
jurisdictions and comparable

1660
01:05:34,319 --> 01:05:38,390
bodies to legislative research

1661
01:05:35,787 --> 01:05:39,658
and oversight are able to be

1662
01:05:38,456 --> 01:05:42,461
considered and kind of adopted

1663
01:05:39,724 --> 01:05:44,029
for use in this process. This

1664
01:05:42,527 --> 01:05:45,564
should come to no surprise to

1665
01:05:44,095 --> 01:05:47,399
anybody this will be a

1666
01:05:45,630 --> 01:05:48,667
challenging budget process. One

1667
01:05:47,465 --> 01:05:50,568
thing that there seems to be

1668
01:05:48,733 --> 01:05:52,037
quite a bit of agreement on.

1669
01:05:50,668 --> 01:05:55,040
om our standpoint, anything we

1670
01:05:52,103 --> 01:05:55,940

considerations as this process

hoggins again from the

1690
01:06:39,083 --> 01:06:45,023
legislative research oversight

1691
01:06:40,985 --> 01:06:47,959
team for this presentation.

1692
01:06:45,089 --> 01:06:50,228
» all right. Hello agn. I

1693
01:06:48,025 --> 01:06:52,463
won't introduce myself twice. So

1694
01:06:50,295 --> 01:06:53,765
for this presentation I think

1695
01:06:52,530 --> 01:06:55,800
the one thing you'll probably

1696
01:06:53,831 --> 01:07:00,338
notice is going to be different,

1697
01:06:55,867 --> 01:07:01,840
starting in 2026, the role of

1698
01:07:00,405 --> 01:07:04,275
reporting back of the report, we

1699
01:07:01,907 --> 01:07:06,111
took the first quarter of this

1700
01:07:04,342 --> 01:07:11,115
year tomplement the dashboard

1701
01:07:06,177 --> 01:07:13,518
that you're going to see linked

1702
01:07:11,182 --> 01:07:15,720
and qr coded and will linked to

1703
01:07:13,584 --> 01:07:18,456
our website shortly. How we can

1704
01:07:15,786 --> 01:07:19,457
make this more transparent,

1705
01:07:18,522 --> 01:07:21,126
provide more information about

1706
01:07:19,523 --> 01:07:22,861
all the different items that are

1707
01:07:21,193 --> 01:07:26,564
coming through our legislative

1708
01:07:25,931 --> 01:07:28,266
it's committees for ncil and

1709
01:07:26,631 --> 01:07:29,767
consideration on any given week.

1710
01:07:28,333 --> 01:07:31,202
this presentation focuses a lot

1711
01:07:29,834 --> 01:07:32,103
more on kind of what that

1712
01:07:31,269 --> 01:07:33,238
process looks like and

1713
01:07:32,170 --> 01:07:35,607
highlighting some of the items

1714
01:07:33,305 --> 01:07:37,509
that are going to be included. I

1715
01:07:35,674 --> 01:07:39,343
think subsequently for quarterly

1716
01:07:37,576 --> 01:07:42,013
reports we'll be able to focus

1717
01:07:39,410 --> 01:07:44,916
on expanded functionality and

1718
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,017
additional date points and do a

1719
01:07:44,982 --> 01:07:47,585
culminating report at the end of

1720
01:07:46,084 --> 01:07:50,588
the year. However, for the

1721
01:07:47,652 --> 01:07:54,059
purposes of this one, it's

1722
01:07:50,655 --> 01:07:55,260
almost deliberely light

1723
01:07:54,125 --> 01:07:58,463
because we're trying to drag

1724
01:07:55,327 --> 01:07:59,730
people to the dashboard itself.

1725
01:07:58,530 --> 01:08:04,936
to get feedback and make sure

1726
01:07:59,797 --> 01:08:06,638
we're improving as we go. So

1727
01:08:05,003 --> 01:08:09,507
again, like a lot of our work,

1728
01:08:06,704 --> 01:08:10,875
our key reasons for taking this

1729
01:08:09,574 --> 01:08:13,711
approach with public

1730
01:08:10,942 --> 01:08:15,213
transparency, having public

1731
01:08:13,778 --> 01:08:16,281
facing dashboard, accessibility

1732
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:19,317
for residents as well as

1733
01:08:16,348 --> 01:08:22,354
council. It also reduces a

1734
01:08:19,384 --> 01:08:24,022
burden on entities. Council

1735
01:08:22,420 --> 01:08:26,457
offices that have issued

1736
01:08:24,089 --> 01:08:28,326
legislative directive, when our

1737
01:08:26,524 --> 01:08:30,328
office of city auditor brings

1738
01:08:28,392 --> 01:08:30,929
back audit reports that have

1739
01:08:30,395 --> 01:08:33,197
findings.

1740
01:08:30,996 --> 01:08:36,301
historically there have been

1741
01:08:33,264 --> 01:08:38,736
challenges trying to tck down

1742
01:08:36,367 --> 01:08:41,539
the status of those. Remediedy

1743
01:08:38,803 --> 01:08:44,876
the appropriate departments. And

1744
01:08:41,606 --> 01:08:46,177
so I think making this

1745
01:08:44,943 --> 01:08:47,612
transparent and acceptable

1746
01:08:46,243 --> 01:08:49,914
simplifies that.he ability to

1747
01:08:47,679 --> 01:08:52,183
call that stuff out when we see

1748
01:08:49,980 --> 01:08:53,051
there's things that have been

1749
01:08:52,250 --> 01:08:56,621
outstanding for quite some time.

1750
01:08:53,118 --> 01:09:01,459
just again, the one data point I

1751
01:08:56,688 --> 01:09:03,928
did include to highlight, 774

1752
01:09:01,525 --> 01:09:06,197
total council acts. 520 action

1753
01:09:04,028 --> 01:09:08,500
ems. The action items break

1754
01:09:06,263 --> 01:09:10,335
down into a number ofifferent

1755
01:09:08,566 --> 01:09:11,736
ways to cut across these. I

1756
01:09:10,402 --> 01:09:14,305
think we're still working on

1757
01:09:11,802 --> 01:09:15,940
what's the most impactful. We

1758
01:09:14,372 --> 01:09:17,042
certainly can throw out all

1759
01:09:16,007 --> 01:09:19,377
different kinds of stats. But

1760
01:09:17,108 --> 01:09:22,013
it's important to work with the

1761
01:09:21,112 --> 01:09:22,847
figure out what's important and

1762
01:09:22,079 --> 01:09:25,383
what people are the most

1763
01:09:22,913 --> 01:09:27,084
interested in tracking and how

1764
01:09:25,449 --> 01:09:28,953
we break that out accordingly.

1765
01:09:27,151 --> 01:09:30,688
this year, obviously due to the

1766
01:09:29,019 --> 01:09:32,490
situation created b operation

1767
01:09:30,755 --> 01:09:35,460
metro surge, like the shift to a

1768
01:09:32,557 --> 01:09:37,228
lot of what would he normally

1769
01:09:35,527 --> 01:09:40,965
gone through committees to this

1770
01:09:37,295 --> 01:09:42,367
committee created challenges.

1771
01:09:41,032 --> 01:09:42,967
that's something that we're

1772
01:09:42,434 --> 01:09:52,377
try

1773
01:09:43,034 --> 01:09:53,611
forward. Similarly for the

1774
01:09:52,443 --> 01:09:55,947
legislative directive and staff

1775
01:09:53,678 --> 01:09:59,117
directive tracking that we're

1776
01:09:56,014 --> 01:10:01,386
doing, we have our lros

1777
01:09:59,184 --> 01:10:04,122
dashboard is directly plugged

1778
01:10:01,452 --> 01:10:05,523
into lims. Unfortunately, in is

1779
01:10:04,189 --> 01:10:07,392
the one area where we still

1780
01:10:05,590 --> 01:10:09,160
don't have the ability to get

1781
01:10:07,459 --> 01:10:11,396
updates on the status through

1782
01:10:09,227 --> 01:10:13,464
lims. I should also say thank

1783
01:10:11,463 --> 01:10:15,933
you to amalia from the office of

1784
01:10:13,531 --> 01:10:17,836
public service, and tim from it

1785
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,604
for their help pulling all this

1786
01:10:17,902 --> 01:10:21,539
together and getting everything

1787
01:10:19,671 --> 01:10:24,309
published in time to ensure we

1788
01:10:21,606 --> 01:10:27,245
had a public facing dashboard

1789
01:10:24,376 --> 01:10:29,681
for accessibility today. For the

1790
01:10:27,312 --> 01:10:31,949
ongoing directives that we're

1791
01:10:29,748 --> 01:10:33,451
tracking, right now, and again,

1792
01:10:32,016 --> 01:10:34,452
I noticed a couple that

1793
01:10:33,518 --> 01:10:37,455
somemes they come through in

1794
01:10:34,519 --> 01:10:38,890
different formats based on

1795
01:10:37,522 --> 01:10:40,124
modifications to the request.

1796
01:10:38,957 --> 01:10:40,925
we're always going to be going

1797
01:10:40,191 --> 01:10:43,294
through this to make sure

1798
01:10:40,992 --> 01:10:45,296
everything is reflective. Always

1799
01:10:43,361 --> 01:10:51,235
feel free to reach us out and we

1800
01:10:45,363 --> 01:10:54,906
can make sure it's added. But we

1801
01:10:51,302 --> 01:10:56,407
have ocs quarterly updates.

1802
01:10:54,972 --> 01:10:57,842
tec

1803
01:10:56,474 --> 01:10:59,877
closes so we're trying to figure

1804
01:10:57,909 --> 01:11:01,613
out how to capture that

1805
01:10:59,944 --> 01:11:05,550
correctly. I know the

1806
01:11:01,679 --> 01:11:07,085
shotspotter will be returning in

1807
01:11:05,617 --> 01:11:13,658
q4 along side the audit record

1808
01:11:07,152 --> 01:11:15,026
on the similar topic. The south

1809
01:11:13,725 --> 01:11:17,161
lyndale master corridor program.

1810
01:11:15,093 --> 01:11:18,596
I'm presenting that one. The

1811
01:11:17,228 --> 01:11:20,498
non-fatal shooting task force.

1812
01:11:18,662 --> 01:11:22,767
there was a quarterly report

1813
01:11:20,564 --> 01:11:24,068
ju

1814
01:11:22,834 --> 01:11:25,536
one that's going to continue to

1815
01:11:24,134 --> 01:11:29,040
come back. We' trying to find

1816
01:11:25,603 --> 01:11:31,142
a way in the dashboard itself.

1817
01:11:30,141 --> 01:11:32,343
e

1818
01:11:31,209 --> 01:11:35,680
if you want to find on these

1819
01:11:32,410 --> 01:11:45,990
that I'm goi to point out on a

1820
01:11:35,747 --> 01:11:48,893
later slide. The ones I wanted

1821
01:11:46,057 --> 01:11:50,295
to highlight. The residential

1822
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:56,534
ordinance. Three-part series.

1823
01:11:50,361 --> 01:12:02,840
th first was on 5/13. 8/15 is

1824
01:11:56,601 --> 01:12:04,909
the next. And then I know the

1825
01:12:02,907 --> 01:12:07,778
thrive strategic development

1826
01:12:04,976 --> 01:12:10,281
plan has a date of 9/30. Moving

1827
01:12:07,845 --> 01:12:12,483
in to staff directives. We had

1828
01:12:10,348 --> 01:12:14,986
six that had been completed from

1829
01:12:12,550 --> 01:12:18,423
january 1st to now. For the

1830
01:12:15,052 --> 01:12:21,292
eight that areeing tracked. I

1831
01:12:18,489 --> 01:12:22,860
know we have a couple other ones

1832
01:12:21,359 --> 01:12:24,028
that need to get added in here.

1833
01:12:22,927 --> 01:12:30,568
I can speak to the ones from

1834
01:12:24,095 --> 01:12:33,538
lro. For the crter compliance,

1835
01:12:30,635 --> 01:12:35,306
municipality oversight. That one

1836
01:12:33,605 --> 01:12:39,177
is ongoing. Charter is q3

1837
01:12:35,373 --> 01:12:41,512
target. The public safety

1838
01:12:39,244 --> 01:12:46,250
policies and practices, that one

1839
01:12:41,612 --> 01:12:46,884
tually is coming forward to

1840
01:12:46,317 --> 01:12:50,755
phc next cycle. Presentation in

1841
01:12:46,951 --> 01:12:53,291
august. And payment in lieu of

1842
01:12:50,821 --> 01:12:55,526
taxes is also targeting

1843
01:12:53,358 --> 01:13:00,064
august 25th. And autonomous

1844
01:12:55,593 --> 01:13:01,699
vehicle is currently on cue for

1845
01:13:00,131 --> 01:13:03,367
assignment. Dashboard using the

1846
01:13:01,766 --> 01:13:06,537
link assuminghere's internet

1847
01:13:03,434 --> 01:13:08,573
in here, everybody should be

1848
01:13:06,603 --> 01:13:10,708
able to access.t continues to

1849
01:13:08,639 --> 01:13:13,077
be updated. It pulls in a lot of

1850
01:13:10,775 --> 01:13:14,312
data. Any time that you have a

1851
01:13:13,143 --> 01:13:15,780
lot of different data sources,

1852
01:13:14,379 --> 01:13:17,015
you're going to have kind of

1853
01:13:15,847 --> 01:13:18,149
clean up and beautification

1854
01:13:17,081 --> 01:13:19,584
efforts that I'm sure we'll be

1855
01:13:18,216 --> 01:13:20,985
doing for a little bit. We also

1856
01:13:19,651 --> 01:13:22,987
have a lot of function alma

1857
01:13:21,052 --> 01:13:24,689
mater that we want to continue

1858
01:13:23,053 --> 01:13:25,856
building out. Cutting across

1859
01:13:24,755 --> 01:13:28,126
different communities so we can

1860
01:13:25,923 --> 01:13:29,794
dive in to what's happening

1861
01:13:28,192 --> 01:13:31,128
across different committees to

1862
01:13:29,861 --> 01:13:32,229
give people the most insight

1863
01:13:31,195 --> 01:13:34,065
that we're able to for things

1864
01:13:32,296 --> 01:13:36,534
that areither going through

1865
01:13:34,132 --> 01:13:37,735
council, that are coming in the

1866
01:13:36,601 --> 01:13:39,871
future, or that we jt

1867
01:13:37,802 --> 01:13:41,439
completed. What you see here,

1868
01:13:39,938 --> 01:13:42,941
this is the preview review page.

1869
01:13:41,506 --> 01:13:45,042
this is the first tab that

1870
01:13:43,007 --> 01:13:47,879
people will see when they go to

1871
01:13:45,109 --> 01:13:50,648
this dashboard. The purpose of

1872
01:13:47,945 --> 01:13:52,750
this it looks forward 14 days

1873
01:13:50,715 --> 01:13:54,452
and backward 14 days just to

1874
01:13:52,817 --> 01:13:57,255
give people an idea for what's

1875
01:13:54,519 --> 01:13:58,822
coming in the future. All of

1876
01:13:57,322 --> 01:14:01,526
these items, if you cli the

1877
01:13:58,889 --> 01:14:02,893
more info tab on the right side,

1878
01:14:01,593 --> 01:14:06,764
we do have links tthe lims

1879
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:08,933
files themselves. Next, we have

1880
01:14:06,831 --> 01:14:10,968
the council directive status.

1881
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,370
this pulls from a different data

1882
01:14:11,035 --> 01:14:14,672
source but trying to track all

1883
01:14:12,437 --> 01:14:16,207
the directives we have

1884
01:14:14,739 --> 01:14:18,042
outstanding. Allow people to see

1885
01:14:16,274 --> 01:14:19,777
who the responsible department

1886
01:14:18,109 --> 01:14:21,845
was. If you hover over the tab

1887
01:14:19,844 --> 01:14:23,347
on the right, it has responsive

1888
01:14:21,912 --> 01:14:25,049
information at least for the

1889
01:14:23,414 --> 01:14:29,353
ones that are outstanding. Those

1890
01:14:25,116 --> 01:14:30,955
will contain the latest updates

1891
01:14:29,419 --> 01:14:33,190
from the departments themselves.

1892
01:14:31,022 --> 01:14:35,526
this is something that will keep

1893
01:14:33,257 --> 01:14:36,927
evolving and we want to color

1894
01:14:35,593 --> 01:14:41,265
code. Flags that turn re

1895
01:14:36,994 --> 01:14:42,633
yellow, green, et cetera. And

1896
01:14:41,332 --> 01:14:45,036
last, you have the lims file

1897
01:14:42,700 --> 01:14:46,904
search. So again, this is

1898
01:14:45,102 --> 01:14:48,673
similar to seahing lims. It

1899
01:14:46,971 --> 01:14:50,341
has a different functionality. I

1900
01:14:48,740 --> 01:14:53,745
think we're going to add fields

1901
01:14:50,408 --> 01:14:55,212
in there that you can search by

1902
01:14:53,811 --> 01:14:57,415
ju to find legislative files.

1903
01:14:55,279 --> 01:14:58,182
when you open it up, it will

1904
01:14:57,481 --> 01:15:00,952
everything from the entirety of

1905
01:14:58,249 --> 01:15:02,953
this year. If you search the

1906
01:15:01,019 --> 01:15:04,322
lims file number or subject file

1907
01:15:03,020 --> 01:15:06,123
field by any subject you're

1908
01:15:04,388 --> 01:15:07,825
looking for, it will limit that

1909
01:15:06,190 --> 01:15:11,729
to anything that will be

1910
01:15:07,892 --> 01:15:13,731
responsive to that search. Next

1911
01:15:11,796 --> 01:15:16,267
steps, landing page. So we want

1912
01:15:13,798 --> 01:15:18,368
to have a home page that

1913
01:15:16,333 --> 01:15:20,271
outlines what's covered.

1914
01:15:18,435 --> 01:15:22,473
how to use this dashboard and

1915
01:15:20,338 --> 01:15:23,975
provide more information. We're

1916
01:15:22,540 --> 01:15:27,011
going to continue added updates

1917
01:15:24,042 --> 01:15:29,013
so this is updated in real time.

1918
01:15:27,078 --> 01:15:30,481
it also does sort of encourage

1919
01:15:29,079 --> 01:15:32,282
people that might have

1920
01:15:30,548 --> 01:15:33,885
outstanding directives to be

1921
01:15:32,349 --> 01:15:35,553
updating that information as

1922
01:15:33,951 --> 01:15:37,021
much as they can because it will

1923
01:15:35,620 --> 01:15:39,190
automatically go into the

1924
01:15:37,088 --> 01:15:40,691
dashboard itself and reflect to

1925
01:15:39,257 --> 01:15:41,826
anybody that's interested. And

1926
01:15:40,758 --> 01:15:43,527
exnsion of functionality that

1927
01:15:41,892 --> 01:15:44,795
I talked about.

1928
01:15:43,594 --> 01:15:46,063
ensure we're being deliberate

1929
01:15:44,862 --> 01:15:48,165
about how w build it out.

1930
01:15:46,130 --> 01:15:50,234
having a tab that exists where

1931
01:15:48,232 --> 01:15:51,969
we can track audit findings and

1932
01:15:50,301 --> 01:15:53,171
their responsible department and

1933
01:15:52,036 --> 01:15:54,472
committee they're assigned to

1934
01:15:53,237 --> 01:15:56,040
will allow members of that

1935
01:15:54,538 --> 01:15:58,309
committee to ask those questions

1936
01:15:56,107 --> 01:15:59,944
when they come up so we're

1937
01:15:58,376 --> 01:16:00,511
ensuring the city is being

1938
01:16:00,010 --> 01:16:04,181
deliberate about how it's

1939
01:16:00,578 --> 01:16:06,684
responding to audit findings.

1940
01:16:04,248 --> 01:16:07,551
with that, that concludes my

1941
01:16:06,751 --> 01:16:08,719
presentation. I'm happy to

1942
01:16:07,618 --> 01:16:09,053
answer any questions there might

1943
01:16:08,786 --> 01:16:11,455
be.

1944
01:16:09,119 --> 01:16:12,490
» tha you so much, andrew.

1945
01:16:11,522 --> 01:16:15,259
members, would anyone like to

1946
01:16:12,556 --> 01:16:19,030
get into queue? President payne.

1947
01:16:15,326 --> 01:16:21,866
» thank you, chair chowdhury.

1948
01:16:19,096 --> 01:16:24,035
and tnk you, director hoggins.

1949
01:16:21,933 --> 01:16:26,137
I think this transparency is so

1950
01:16:24,102 --> 01:16:30,074
helpful. I think our day-to-day

1951
01:16:26,203 --> 01:16:32,343
is such a whirlwind it's nice to

1952
01:16:30,141 --> 01:16:33,744
take a step back, zoom out and

1953
01:16:32,410 --> 01:16:36,047
see what's getting accomplished

1954
01:16:33,811 --> 01:16:38,883
and what we're working on. That

1955
01:16:36,114 --> 01:16:40,718
goes a long way towards building

1956
01:16:38,950 --> 01:16:41,685
trust and faith in what we do

1957
01:16:40,785 --> 01:16:43,387
here in the government.

1958
01:16:41,752 --> 01:16:45,323
appreciate your efforts on that.

1959
01:16:43,454 --> 01:16:47,424
» thank you. One quickhing I

1960
01:16:45,389 --> 01:16:50,461
can share too just from talking

1961
01:16:47,491 --> 01:16:51,796
to staff with the wild card

1962
01:16:50,528 --> 01:16:55,966
search. There's so much that

1963
01:16:51,863 --> 01:16:58,035
happens that we can lose sight.

1964
01:16:56,033 --> 01:16:59,470
somebody brought up, I don't

1965
01:16:58,102 --> 01:17:01,605
think we've done much with that

1966
01:16:59,537 --> 01:17:03,541
this year. I pulled up the

1967
01:17:01,672 --> 01:17:04,175
dashboard. I think there were

1968
01:17:03,608 --> 01:17:05,910
nine different legislative files

1969
01:17:04,242 --> 01:17:07,411
that came up on that topic this

1970
01:17:05,977 --> 01:17:08,879
year. It's a good opportunity

1971
01:17:07,478 --> 01:17:10,448
for people if they're interested

1972
01:17:08,946 --> 01:17:11,315
in any specific topic to

1973
01:17:10,515 --> 01:17:13,450
research all the legislative

1974
01:17:11,382 --> 01:17:16,720
files to see what you all are

1975
01:17:13,517 --> 01:17:21,292
doing and follow along.

1976
01:17:16,787 --> 01:17:23,561
» wonderful. Next, we will go

1977
01:17:21,359 --> 01:17:25,829
to council member shaffer.

1978
01:17:23,627 --> 01:17:27,397
» couple things. Can you speak

1979
01:17:25,896 --> 01:17:31,268
to the data format underneath

1980
01:17:27,497 --> 01:17:33,204
e item wildcard search? I get

1981
01:17:31,335 --> 01:17:35,806
this query functns at the top.

1982
01:17:33,271 --> 01:17:37,441
but then for some reason can you

1983
01:17:35,873 --> 01:17:40,978
speak to what we see underneath

1984
01:17:37,508 --> 01:17:41,178
that and the value of seeing all

1985
01:17:41,045 --> 01:17:44,115
that?

1986
01:17:41,245 --> 01:17:45,482
» yup. Through the chair,

1987
01:17:44,181 --> 01:17:48,952
council member shaffer, so this

1988
01:17:45,549 --> 01:17:52,990
is something where again tha

1989
01:17:49,019 --> 01:17:58,229
pulls from lims. There's a lot

1990
01:17:53,090 --> 01:18:01,632
data. There's a lot in the

1991
01:17:58,296 --> 01:18:03,834
more info tab. So if you hover

1992
01:18:01,698 --> 01:18:06,003
over that it will open a box.

1993
01:18:03,901 --> 01:18:08,172
we're still organizing that and

1994
01:18:06,070 --> 01:18:09,539
everything. It's the lims file

1995
01:18:08,238 --> 01:18:10,608
number. Which is legislative

1996
01:18:09,606 --> 01:18:11,909
information management stem.

1997
01:18:10,675 --> 01:18:12,944
it will have the file subject.

1998
01:18:11,976 --> 01:18:14,645
the action date is going to be

1999
01:18:13,010 --> 01:18:16,247
the date that the action was

2000
01:18:14,712 --> 01:18:18,482
taken. So that's where you'll

2001
01:18:16,314 --> 01:18:20,384
see it in action. Those columns

2002
01:18:18,548 --> 01:18:22,353
reflec the titles as they exist

2003
01:18:20,451 --> 01:18:25,289
in lims. It's something where I

2004
01:18:22,420 --> 01:18:29,126
want to update them. But when I

2005
01:18:25,356 --> 01:18:29,994
start editorializing those, it

2006
01:18:29,193 --> 01:18:31,929
affects other things. That's

2007
01:18:30,061 --> 01:18:33,063
something I need to be more

2008
01:18:31,996 --> 01:18:33,697
deliberate. It will show the

2009
01:18:33,130 --> 01:18:38,302
committee that the action was

2010
01:18:33,764 --> 01:18:40,204
taken. And so also if you click

2011
01:18:38,368 --> 01:18:42,039
on the more info on the

2012
01:18:40,271 --> 01:18:43,741
dashboard itself, there should

2013
01:18:42,106 --> 01:18:45,776
be a link that pops up on the

2014
01:18:43,807 --> 01:18:47,411
bottom of the bble that takes

2015
01:18:45,842 --> 01:18:50,147
you to the actual lims file for

2016
01:18:47,478 --> 01:18:51,281
each respective one. The reason

2017
01:18:50,214 --> 01:18:53,350
these were picked is to show

2018
01:18:51,348 --> 01:18:54,852
where things are moving thugh.

2019
01:18:53,417 --> 01:18:56,954
obviously, this year being

2020
01:18:54,918 --> 01:18:58,255
unique where we had

2021
01:18:57,021 --> 01:18:59,990
coolidation of things in to

2022
01:18:58,322 --> 01:19:02,126
cow for a while, there's not

2023
01:19:00,057 --> 01:19:03,627
going to be as many different

2024
01:19:02,193 --> 01:19:06,297
committees reflected as there

2025
01:19:03,694 --> 01:19:07,998
would normally be. As we go

2026
01:19:06,364 --> 01:19:09,166
forward, that would be populated

2027
01:19:08,065 --> 01:19:11,669
now that committees are running

2028
01:19:09,233 --> 01:19:12,736
in their normal capacity. What

2029
01:19:11,736 --> 01:19:15,139
this does that's interesting,

2030
01:19:12,803 --> 01:19:17,875
just for the tailgating

2031
01:19:15,206 --> 01:19:19,276
ordinance, is it really does

2032
01:19:17,942 --> 01:19:23,480
show the life cycle of some of

2033
01:19:19,343 --> 01:19:25,583
these items. Like the sometimes

2034
01:19:23,547 --> 01:19:26,784
complex route they can take from

2035
01:19:25,650 --> 01:19:28,819
introduction to referral and all

2036
01:19:26,851 --> 01:19:29,720
the way back to council for

2037
01:19:28,886 --> 01:19:30,020
ultimately for consideration for

2038
01:19:29,787 --> 01:19:31,688
adoption.

2039
01:19:30,087 --> 01:19:33,590
» okay. So it's kind o a

2040
01:19:31,755 --> 01:19:34,425
scrolling function. If you know

2041
01:19:33,657 --> 01:19:35,526
approximately it happened in

2042
01:19:34,492 --> 01:19:38,095
february but I don't know

2043
01:19:35,593 --> 01:19:40,497
exactly the word to pull it up

2044
01:19:38,161 --> 01:19:42,233
on query.

2045
01:19:40,564 --> 01:19:43,667
» correct. I think the date

2046
01:19:42,300 --> 01:19:45,202
function was one that we can add

2047
01:19:43,734 --> 01:19:46,970
as well. But the lims file

2048
01:19:45,269 --> 01:19:48,639
subject. I mean, you can really

2049
01:19:47,037 --> 01:19:50,841
go in and type in anything. So

2050
01:19:48,706 --> 01:19:53,344
if you wanted to look at -- I'm

2051
01:19:50,908 --> 01:19:55,145
trying to think what have we

2052
01:19:53,411 --> 01:19:57,915
been doing. Safe outdoor spaces.

2053
01:19:55,212 --> 01:19:59,516
if you type that in to the lims

2054
01:19:57,982 --> 01:20:00,751
file subject, every file that

2055
01:19:59,583 --> 01:20:02,119
hits with those words will come

2056
01:20:00,818 --> 01:20:04,288
back. And if you want just

2057
01:20:02,186 --> 01:20:05,856
looking at housing, looking at

2058
01:20:04,355 --> 01:20:07,425
public safety. You could keyword

2059
01:20:05,923 --> 01:20:09,826
search it. As long as it's in

2060
01:20:07,491 --> 01:20:11,428
the file subject as well as the

2061
01:20:09,893 --> 01:20:13,130
item title, it will pull back

2062
01:20:11,495 --> 01:20:14,865
all of those results. So

2063
01:20:13,197 --> 01:20:16,166
sometimes, again, we know

2064
01:20:14,932 --> 01:20:17,668
roughly what we're looking for

2065
01:20:16,233 --> 01:20:19,603
but we don't know exactly, it

2066
01:20:17,735 --> 01:20:21,805
can often be hard to go back and

2067
01:20:19,670 --> 01:20:24,308
identify those items.

2068
01:20:21,872 --> 01:20:26,343
I know ourctual lims site has

2069
01:20:24,375 --> 01:20:29,480
some search functionality. But

2070
01:20:26,410 --> 01:20:31,048
this one operates a little

2071
01:20:29,547 --> 01:20:32,183
differently. It's quicker to

2072
01:20:31,115 --> 01:20:33,050
scroll through because it

2073
01:20:32,249 --> 01:20:34,485
doesn't have a lot of

2074
01:20:33,117 --> 01:20:36,654
information in the dashboard

2075
01:20:34,552 --> 01:20:37,021
itself. It will take you to the

2076
01:20:36,721 --> 01:20:38,088
full lims file.

2077
01:20:37,088 --> 01:20:39,823
» thank you so much for all

2078
01:20:38,155 --> 01:20:41,225
your work on this. It will be

2079
01:20:39,890 --> 01:20:42,693
interesting. Can you speak a

2080
01:20:41,292 --> 01:20:45,996
little bit to what's your vision

2081
01:20:42,759 --> 01:20:48,432
for year-to-year? Like will this

2082
01:20:46,063 --> 01:20:51,402
all collapse into 2026ut it

2083
01:20:48,499 --> 01:20:53,104
will all -- you do a query it

2084
01:20:51,469 --> 01:20:54,138
will all pull up ongoing years?

2085
01:20:53,170 --> 01:20:56,240
what's your vision?

2086
01:20:54,205 --> 01:20:59,009
» that's a wonderful question.

2087
01:20:56,307 --> 01:21:05,215
this is definitely something we

2088
01:20:59,076 --> 01:21:07,985
want to keep building. More is

2089
01:21:05,282 --> 01:21:10,220
more. So though 26, 27, 28. It

2090
01:21:08,052 --> 01:21:12,089
was hard getting it to display

2091
01:21:10,287 --> 01:21:13,624
in a way that was digestible is

2092
01:21:12,156 --> 01:21:16,293
when we have committees that can

2093
01:21:13,690 --> 01:21:17,694
change names. It will start to

2094
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:23,634
display a lot more. Sometimes

2095
01:21:22,166 --> 01:21:25,536
comparison. Committee a to

2096
01:21:23,700 --> 01:21:27,270
committee b in another cycle. I

2097
01:21:25,603 --> 01:21:29,773
think trying to fige out how

2098
01:21:27,337 --> 01:21:31,809
to add in even historical data

2099
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,177
is something we want to do. This

2100
01:21:31,876 --> 01:21:35,346
is something we intend to

2101
01:21:33,244 --> 01:21:36,179
continue to accumulate data as

2102
01:21:35,412 --> 01:21:38,115
we move forwd.

2103
01:21:36,246 --> 01:21:39,082
» it's very exciting and thank

2104
01:21:38,182 --> 01:21:40,217
you for all your hard work.

2105
01:21:39,149 --> 01:21:43,854
» absolutely.

2106
01:21:40,284 --> 01:21:47,691
» thank you. I am not seeing

2107
01:21:43,921 --> 01:21:49,827
anyone else in queue. So I will

2108
01:21:49,894 --> 01:21:56,967
presentation and report. Now

2109
01:21:53,264 --> 01:21:58,302
we'll move to item 5. We have

2110
01:21:57,034 --> 01:22:01,271
another presentation to receive

2111
01:21:58,369 --> 01:22:02,940
related to our appointed boards

2112
01:22:01,338 --> 01:22:06,310
and commission status. I will

2113
01:22:03,006 --> 01:22:08,679
invite up julie hofland from the

2114
01:22:06,377 --> 01:22:16,620
city clerk's office to kick this

2115
01:22:08,745 --> 01:22:19,823
presentation off. Lcome.

2116
01:22:16,687 --> 01:22:20,824
» all right. Good afternoon

2117
01:22:19,890 --> 01:22:23,394
vice chair chughtai and

2118
01:22:20,891 --> 01:22:25,396
committee members, I'm julie

2119
01:22:23,461 --> 01:22:28,298
hovland, the abc program

2120
01:22:25,463 --> 01:22:28,899
manager, and I'm excited to

2121
01:22:28,365 --> 01:22:36,574
share our progress on board

2122
01:22:28,966 --> 01:22:37,774
reform. The city of minneapolis

2123
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:40,477
values active community

2124
01:22:37,841 --> 01:22:42,479
engagement. Appointed boards and

2125
01:22:40,544 --> 01:22:43,614
commissions are one of the most

2126
01:22:42,546 --> 01:22:44,981
visible ways for residents to

2127
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:47,951
take part in local government.

2128
01:22:45,048 --> 01:22:49,319
because abcs are official cy

2129
01:22:48,018 --> 01:22:51,955
groups, their work must align

2130
01:22:49,386 --> 01:22:59,029
with the city's operational

2131
01:22:52,022 --> 01:23:00,831
framework and their own enabling

2132
01:22:59,096 --> 01:23:03,400
legislation. Abc reform is about

2133
01:23:00,898 --> 01:23:05,702
making it easier and more

2134
01:23:04,568 --> 01:23:08,939
participate in city government.

2135
01:23:05,769 --> 01:23:10,474
it gives abcs a clear structure

2136
01:23:09,006 --> 01:23:12,276
to their work and it makes their

2137
01:23:10,541 --> 01:23:15,779
work stay aligned with city

2138
01:23:12,343 --> 01:23:18,215
priorities. It also supports

2139
01:23:15,846 --> 01:23:19,917
smoother, more meaningl

2140
01:23:18,282 --> 01:23:20,918
collaboration between elected

2141
01:23:19,984 --> 01:23:30,360
officials, city staff and abc

2142
01:23:20,985 --> 01:23:31,094
bodies. Every abc has now been

2143
01:23:30,427 --> 01:23:36,267
placed into a tier. Most of our

2144
01:23:31,161 --> 01:23:37,735
work has focused on tier three

2145
01:23:36,333 --> 01:23:38,869
and four advisory bodies.

2146
01:23:37,801 --> 01:23:43,974
improvements such as creing

2147
01:23:38,936 --> 01:23:45,142
and actively using standardized

2148
01:23:44,041 --> 01:23:48,278
templates for participation

2149
01:23:45,209 --> 01:23:53,550
agreements, bylaws rules, and

2150
01:23:48,345 --> 01:23:56,386
establishing resolutions. Other

2151
01:23:53,617 --> 01:23:57,955
accomplishments worth

2152
01:23:56,453 --> 01:24:01,058
highlighting. We created and

2153
01:23:58,021 --> 01:24:02,226
published comprehensive abc

2154
01:24:01,125 --> 01:24:03,260
operations manual with all

2155
01:24:02,293 --> 01:24:06,396
policies, procedures, and

2156
01:24:03,327 --> 01:24:09,066
standards regarding abcs in one

2157
01:24:06,463 --> 01:24:12,703
place. We also completed major

2158
01:24:09,133 --> 01:24:14,137
lims updates, adding much needed

2159
01:24:12,803 --> 01:24:16,740
tomation and new tracking

2160
01:24:14,204 --> 01:24:18,609
features for waivers and service

2161
01:24:16,807 --> 01:24:20,644
restrictions. New member

2162
01:24:18,676 --> 01:24:22,379
profile was developed and

2163
01:24:20,711 --> 01:24:24,181
launched. The required online

2164
01:24:22,445 --> 01:24:27,484
ethics training is now aligned

2165
01:24:24,248 --> 01:24:29,386
with members appointed terms.

2166
01:24:27,550 --> 01:24:31,455
the training itself was

2167
01:24:29,453 --> 01:24:32,422
redesigned to improve the member

2168
01:24:31,522 --> 01:24:36,527
experience and ensure content is

2169
01:24:32,489 --> 01:24:38,228
more relevant. A mayoral

2170
01:24:36,593 --> 01:24:40,264
executive order was secured

2171
01:24:38,295 --> 01:24:41,899
affiing the office of city

2172
01:24:40,331 --> 01:24:44,535
clerk as the central agency

2173
01:24:41,966 --> 01:24:47,404
responsible for abc operations.

2174
01:24:44,602 --> 01:24:49,272
we delivered a comprehenve

2175
01:24:47,470 --> 01:24:51,775
training course for department

2176
01:24:49,339 --> 01:24:55,045
board staff liaisons focusing on

2177
01:24:51,842 --> 01:24:56,980
abc operations, best practices

2178
01:24:55,112 --> 01:24:59,449
and collaboration with the

2179
01:24:57,047 --> 01:25:00,984
clerk's office. To track

2180
01:24:59,516 --> 01:25:02,986
recurring acvities, we created

2181
01:25:01,051 --> 01:25:10,928
an annual abc operations

2182
01:25:03,053 --> 01:25:13,664
calendar. We revamped monthly

2183
01:25:10,995 --> 01:25:15,666
bsl team meetings to include a

2184
01:25:13,730 --> 01:25:17,568
mix of quarterly group meetings

2185
01:25:15,732 --> 01:25:21,171
paired with one on one sessions

2186
01:25:17,635 --> 01:25:23,540
and tech labs. In 2025, we

2187
01:25:21,238 --> 01:25:26,443
created the establishment of

2188
01:25:23,606 --> 01:25:29,212
eight tier 3 advisory bodies and

2189
01:25:26,510 --> 01:25:32,282
created one tier 4 work group.

2190
01:25:29,279 --> 01:25:33,284
following remaini tier 3

2191
01:25:32,349 --> 01:25:36,353
bodies will be reformed this

2192
01:25:33,350 --> 01:25:39,423
year. Looking ahead to 2027, we

2193
01:25:36,420 --> 01:25:40,523
plan to reform our tier 2 and 5

2194
01:25:39,490 --> 01:25:42,159
bodies. These will be more

2195
01:25:40,590 --> 01:25:42,826
complex because they are

2196
01:25:42,225 --> 01:25:49,132
establishe by ordinance rather

2197
01:25:42,893 --> 01:25:50,600
than resolution. Like all

2198
01:25:49,199 --> 01:25:54,137
developing programs, challenges

2199
01:25:50,667 --> 01:25:56,306
have emerged. One of our biggest

2200
01:25:54,204 --> 01:25:59,009
pinchpoints in the abc program

2201
01:25:56,373 --> 01:26:00,510
is managing recruitment cycles.

2202
01:25:59,076 --> 01:26:03,614
an area not directly addressed

2203
01:26:00,577 --> 01:26:07,084
in the reform ordinance. This

2204
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:10,120
sle shows the assumed

2205
01:26:07,150 --> 01:26:13,156
recruitment process two cycles

2206
01:26:10,187 --> 01:26:15,292
spring and fall. Each cycle

2207
01:26:13,223 --> 01:26:16,627
includes about seven steps from

2208
01:26:15,359 --> 01:26:18,762
advertising a seat during open

2209
01:26:16,694 --> 01:26:20,797
appointments to having a fully

2210
01:26:18,829 --> 01:26:23,000
seated member ready to serve.

2211
01:26:20,864 --> 01:26:25,235
one cycle takes about seven

2212
01:26:23,067 --> 01:26:27,838
months. Abc recruitment works a

2213
01:26:25,302 --> 01:26:31,875
lot like an hr hiring process.

2214
01:26:27,904 --> 01:26:36,280
we typically process over 400

2215
01:26:31,941 --> 01:26:39,583
applications a year. However, in

2216
01:26:36,347 --> 01:26:40,650
reality, we are managing three

2217
01:26:39,650 --> 01:26:42,686
recruitment cycles: winter,

2218
01:26:40,717 --> 01:26:46,490
spring and fall, plus many, many

2219
01:26:42,753 --> 01:26:49,826
off-cycle appointments. This is

2220
01:26:46,557 --> 01:26:51,695
caused by unsuccessful

2221
01:26:49,893 --> 01:26:57,067
recruiting, resignations, seat

2222
01:26:51,761 --> 01:26:59,536
forfeitures and other factors.

2223
01:26:57,134 --> 01:27:01,772
the nominating and appointment

2224
01:26:59,602 --> 01:27:05,742
processes is in backlog. With

2225
01:27:01,839 --> 01:27:07,177
only 12 months in a year and a

2226
01:27:05,809 --> 01:27:10,280
process that can stretch for

2227
01:27:07,244 --> 01:27:11,548
more than 12 months, delivering

2228
01:27:10,347 --> 01:27:13,150
a positive experience. In 2027,

2229
01:27:11,614 --> 01:27:16,287
we hope to work with our

2230
01:27:13,217 --> 01:27:21,624
partners to find ways to improve

2231
01:27:16,353 --> 01:27:24,728
this system. Other items

2232
01:27:21,691 --> 01:27:26,296
underway for next year include

2233
01:27:26,362 --> 01:27:31,635
orientation program, improving

2234
01:27:28,765 --> 01:27:33,670
how we vet applicants, enhancing

2235
01:27:31,702 --> 01:27:36,306
the on boarding and off boardg

2236
01:27:33,737 --> 01:27:36,973
experience for abc members, and

2237
01:27:36,373 --> 01:27:45,315
standardizing work plans and

2238
01:27:44,047 --> 01:27:47,250
committee members, that u,

2239
01:27:45,382 --> 01:27:49,086
concludes my presentation on abc

2240
01:27:47,317 --> 01:27:50,020
reform. I'd be happy to answer

2241
01:27:49,153 --> 01:27:51,054

2247
01:28:01,498 --> 01:28:04,968
» thank you, vice chair

2248
01:28:04,067 --> 01:28:06,603
chughtai. Just wanted to note

2249
01:28:05,035 --> 01:28:08,939
just a level of thank you. I

2250
01:28:06,669 --> 01:28:11,108
know this is a large lif here.

2251
01:28:09,005 --> 01:28:12,976
I know I helped kind of on the

2252
01:28:11,175 --> 01:28:14,411
opposite end when I was in the

2253
01:28:13,043 --> 01:28:15,612
city attorney's office and know

2254
01:28:14,477 --> 01:28:18,715
the large lift that com with

2255
01:28:15,678 --> 01:28:20,583
all of these abcs broadly. It is

2256
01:28:18,782 --> 01:28:22,886
really good to see the

2257
01:28:20,650 --> 01:28:24,388
culmination of a lot of effort.

2258
01:28:22,953 --> 01:28:24,888
just wanted to say thank you.

2259
01:28:24,455 --> 01:28:25,422
» thanks.

2260
01:28:24,954 --> 01:28:27,557
» of course.

2261
01:28:25,489 --> 01:28:29,192

01:28:27,624 --> 01:28:29,726
recognize counc president

2263
01:28:29,259 --> 01:28:32,329
payne.

2264
01:28:29,793 --> 01:28:34,598
» thank you, vice chair

2265
01:28:32,396 --> 01:28:36,066
chughtai. Yeah, also a big

2266
01:28:34,665 --> 01:28:38,802
thanks. So much of your work is

2267
01:28:36,132 --> 01:28:41,171
focused on logists. And I also

2268
01:28:38,869 --> 01:28:42,539
want to elevate the role of abcs

2269
01:28:41,238 --> 01:28:45,675
and what the potential is to

2270
01:28:42,605 --> 01:28:46,376
be part of our partners in

2271
01:28:45,742 --> 01:28:48,078
governg. Part of our partners

2272
01:28:46,442 --> 01:28:49,913
in policymaking. And I think

2273
01:28:48,145 --> 01:28:51,982
there are s many people in the

2274
01:28:49,980 --> 01:28:54,351
city who are so civically

2275
01:28:52,049 --> 01:28:55,853
engaged and they are frequently

2276
01:28:55,919 --> 01:28:58,789
up at city hall and don't know

2277
01:28:57,554 --> 01:29:00,523
that it's not an opportunity to

2278
01:28:58,855 --> 01:29:03,427
do a public hearing or even for

2279
01:29:00,590 --> 01:29:06,763
the folks who sign up to be on

2280
01:29:03,493 --> 01:29:09,099
an abc and they don't know

2281
01:29:06,829 --> 01:29:10,233
exactly how to get their voice

2282
01:29:09,166 --> 01:29:12,569
represented in policy. Not only

2283
01:29:10,300 --> 01:29:14,637
for us to get the logistics of

2284
01:29:12,636 --> 01:29:16,273
getting people onboarded and

2285
01:29:14,704 --> 01:29:18,108
getting applications reviewed,

2286
01:29:16,340 --> 01:29:19,876
we on the dais need to do a

2287
01:29:18,175 --> 01:29:20,944
better job of making sure we're

2288
01:29:19,943 --> 01:29:22,679
emwering those voices and

2289
01:29:21,011 --> 01:29:25,782
putting them into action. I

2290
01:29:24,314 --> 01:29:27,717
many phases of reform that's ver

2291
01:29:25,848 --> 01:29:29,753
going to be at least one

2292
01:29:27,784 --> 01:29:31,188
distinct phase. And I'm happy to

2293
01:29:29,820 --> 01:29:31,388
be a partner in figuring that

2294
01:29:31,255 --> 01:29:33,290
out.

2295
01:29:31,455 --> 01:29:33,490
» yeah. I appreciate that.

2296
01:29:33,357 --> 01:29:36,359
flsh.

2297
01:29:33,557 --> 01:29:37,828
» thank you. And finally, I'll

01:29:36,426 --> 01:29:39,996
recognize cncil member warren.

2299
01:29:37,895 --> 01:29:45,401
» thank you, vice chair. Thank

2300
01:29:40,063 --> 01:29:48,472
you so much for this report.

2301
01:29:45,468 --> 01:29:49,505
this and just simplifying the

2302
01:29:48,539 --> 01:29:52,275
process. I really appreciate

2303
01:29:49,572 --> 01:29:55,178
that because coming in as a new

2304
01:29:52,342 --> 01:29:56,780
council member, it was pretty

2305
01:29:55,245 --> 01:29:59,816
tasking to look through the

2306
01:29:56,847 --> 01:30:00,884
applications and have to, you

2307
01:29:59,883 --> 01:30:02,986
know, decide and understand and

2308
01:30:00,951 --> 01:30:07,057
go through the whole process.

2309
01:30:03,053 --> 01:30:08,091
so to centralize the information

2310
01:30:07,124 --> 01:30:10,193
and create a whole -- thank you

2311
01:30:08,158 --> 01:30:10,960
so much. I just wanted to say

2312
01:30:10,260 --> 01:30:12,562
thank you. Yes.

2313
01:30:11,027 --> 01:30:15,466
» hank you. Seeing no further

2314
01:30:12,629 --> 01:30:16,166
discussion, I will ask the clerk

2315
01:30:15,532 --> 01:30:20,904
to file that presentation and

2316
01:30:16,233 --> 01:30:22,205

2326
01:30:49,499 --> 01:30:55,972
» perfect. Thank you, vice

2327
01:30:52,502 --> 01:30:58,375
chair chughtai. Switching on

2328
01:30:56,039 --> 01:31:01,344
over to our settlement agreeme

2329
01:30:58,442 --> 01:31:02,746
and consent decree subcommittee.

our consent decree and

2331
01:31:02,813 --> 01:31:05,615
settlement agreement

2332
01:31:03,714 --> 01:31:07,317
subcommittee has two items on

2333
01:31:05,682 --> 01:31:08,552
its agenda today. First is a

2334
01:31:07,384 --> 01:31:10,320
presentation related to an

2335
01:31:08,618 --> 01:31:12,522
update on implementing the

2336
01:31:10,387 --> 01:31:16,326
reforms within the proposed

2337
01:31:12,589 --> 01:31:20,764
consent decree. I'll invite our

2338
01:31:16,393 --> 01:31:21,531
city attorney kristyn anderson.

2339
01:31:20,830 --> 01:31:24,301
thank you.

2340
01:31:21,597 --> 01:31:27,837
» hello, chairwhiting, council

2341
01:31:24,368 --> 01:31:29,039
members, it's nice to see this

2342
01:31:27,904 --> 01:31:30,106
afteoon. It's been a bit of

2343
01:31:29,106 --> 01:31:32,175
time since I've been able to

2344
01:31:30,173 --> 01:31:36,279
come and be on this side of the

2345
01:31:32,275 --> 01:31:36,879
is. I'm always please to come

2346
01:31:36,346 --> 01:31:39,216
and make aresentation. My

2347
01:31:36,946 --> 01:31:41,251
presentation today is really an

2348
01:31:39,282 --> 01:31:43,019
update on the work that the

2349
01:31:41,317 --> 01:31:44,254
enterprise has been doing on

2350
01:31:43,086 --> 01:31:47,357
implementing the reforms of the

2351
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:50,393
consent decree. And just for

2352
01:31:47,424 --> 01:31:53,797
kind of baseline for folks who

2353
01:31:50,460 --> 01:31:56,099
are new and/or watching, we have

2354
01:31:53,864 --> 01:31:58,935
two things that are kind of in

2355
01:31:56,165 --> 01:32:00,837
play in terms of police reform:

2356
01:31:59,001 --> 01:32:01,871
one is an actual court

2357
01:32:00,904 --> 01:32:04,040
enforceable settlement agreement

2358
01:32:01,938 --> 01:32:04,975
with t minnesota department of

2359
01:32:04,107 --> 01:32:07,944
human rights that we entered

2360
01:32:05,041 --> 01:32:11,081
into and was issued as a court

2361
01:32:08,010 --> 01:32:14,284
order in july of 2023. Again,

2362
01:32:11,148 --> 01:32:16,953
court enforceable, we have been

2363
01:32:14,350 --> 01:32:19,889
working on that project of

2364
01:32:17,020 --> 01:32:24,260
police reform really frankly

2365
01:32:19,956 --> 01:32:25,561
from before then once it was

2366
01:32:24,327 --> 01:32:30,834
negotiated. But also there was

2367
01:32:25,628 --> 01:32:33,403
an investigation by the

2368
01:32:32,034 --> 01:32:40,677
resulted in a negotiation for

2369
01:32:36,306 --> 01:32:43,747
federal consent decree. A

2370
01:32:40,743 --> 01:32:46,316
agreement over the course of, I

2371
01:32:43,814 --> 01:32:49,853
mean, actually, we negotiated it

2372
01:32:46,383 --> 01:32:51,488
pretty fast. And completed the

2373
01:32:49,919 --> 01:32:53,056
negotiations and went to court

2374
01:32:51,554 --> 01:32:55,291
with the department of justice

2375
01:32:53,123 --> 01:32:58,028
during the biden administration

2376
01:32:55,358 --> 01:33:00,297
asking for t court to issue

2377
01:32:58,095 --> 01:33:04,734
that as a court order and then

2378
01:33:00,363 --> 01:33:06,136
there was the change of

2379
01:33:04,801 --> 01:33:07,036
administrations and the trump

2380
01:33:06,202 --> 01:33:08,838
administration actually

2381
01:33:07,103 --> 01:33:11,841
dismissed the lawsuit and walked

2382
01:33:08,905 --> 01:33:12,441
away from the consent decree. So

2383
01:33:11,908 --> 01:33:14,177
mayor frey determined that

2384
01:33:12,508 --> 01:33:16,479
although we weren't going to

2385
01:33:14,244 --> 01:33:17,647
have a federal consent decree in

2386
01:33:16,546 --> 01:33:20,483
court, it w important to still

2387
01:33:17,714 --> 01:33:21,851
do the reforms that we had

2388
01:33:20,550 --> 01:33:27,190
negotiated in that consent

2389
01:33:21,918 --> 01:33:28,692
decree. And so he issued an

2390
01:33:27,257 --> 01:33:30,260
executive oer requiring the

2391
01:33:28,758 --> 01:33:35,232
administration to implement the

2392
01:33:30,326 --> 01:33:37,234
reforms in the consent degree

2393
01:33:35,298 --> 01:33:39,569
and those reforms are really

2394
01:33:37,300 --> 01:33:40,803
defined as reforms that are not

2395
01:33:39,636 --> 01:33:42,772
in conflict with those that

2396
01:33:40,870 --> 01:33:47,977
exist in the settlement

2397
01:33:42,839 --> 01:33:49,245
agreement. So we really have the

2398
01:33:48,044 --> 01:33:50,981
settlement agreement, and there

2399
01:33:49,312 --> 01:33:52,682
are provisions above and beyond

2400
01:33:51,047 --> 01:33:55,618
the settlement agreement that

2401
01:33:52,749 --> 01:33:57,253
are enforceable by an executable

2402
01:33:55,685 --> 01:33:58,488
order by our mayor. And so we

2403
01:33:57,353 --> 01:34:00,990
ve been working on

2404
01:33:58,554 --> 01:34:02,626
implementing those additional

2405
01:34:01,057 --> 01:34:04,427
provisions. Another sort of

2406
01:34:02,692 --> 01:34:06,763
grounding thing I want to talk

2407
01:34:04,494 --> 01:34:09,299
about is between the settlement

2408
01:34:06,830 --> 01:34:10,934
agreement and consent decree,

2409
01:34:09,365 --> 01:34:12,268
there are multiple subject

2410
01:34:11,001 --> 01:34:14,203
matters that are covered in

2411
01:34:12,335 --> 01:34:16,573
both. There are a few additional

2412
01:34:14,270 --> 01:34:18,141
subjec matters that are covered

2413
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:20,276
in the consent decree that are

2414
01:34:18,207 --> 01:34:23,413
not included in the settlement

2415
01:34:20,343 --> 01:34:25,749
agreement. But in the settlement

2416
01:34:23,480 --> 01:34:26,616
agreement, for example, in both

2417
01:34:25,816 --> 01:34:29,385
documents, there's a whole

2418
01:34:26,683 --> 01:34:30,252
section on use of force. And the

2419
01:34:29,452 --> 01:34:32,422
settlement agreement requires

2420
01:34:30,319 --> 01:34:33,857
certain things. And then the

2421
01:34:32,488 --> 01:34:35,458
consent decree reforms require a

2422
01:34:33,924 --> 01:34:38,094
few more things on top of that.

2423
01:34:35,525 --> 01:34:39,362
so kind of in our implementation

2424
01:34:38,161 --> 01:34:42,832
work around this, we start with

2425
01:34:39,428 --> 01:34:44,801
theettlement agreement as

2426
01:34:42,899 --> 01:34:52,142
being our baseline. And the way

2427
01:34:44,867 --> 01:34:52,976
that we sort of building this

2428
01:34:52,209 --> 01:34:54,677
reform infrastructure, it start

2429
01:34:53,043 --> 01:34:55,612
with creation of policy,

2430
01:34:54,744 --> 01:34:59,382
creation of training, then

2431
01:34:55,679 --> 01:35:00,450
actually doing the training, and

2432
01:34:59,449 --> 01:35:02,185
then holding officers

2433
01:35:00,516 --> 01:35:04,521
accountable to those policies

2434
01:35:02,252 --> 01:35:06,156
and the things that they train.

2435
01:35:04,588 --> 01:35:06,956
at the ground level of this

2436
01:35:06,223 --> 01:35:10,260
infrastructure, we are building

2437
01:35:07,023 --> 01:35:12,028
policies that are grounde in

2438
01:35:10,326 --> 01:35:13,163
the settlement agreement. But as

2439
01:35:12,095 --> 01:35:15,598
long as we are doing the

2440
01:35:13,230 --> 01:35:17,867
settlement agreement, we are

2441
01:35:15,665 --> 01:35:22,672
baking those consent decree

2442
01:35:17,934 --> 01:35:25,175
additional reforms into those.

2443
01:35:22,739 --> 01:35:28,378
in the kind of examples that I'm

2444
01:35:25,242 --> 01:35:42,625
going to give you are working in

2445
01:35:28,445 --> 01:35:47,630
the frame. That we're creating

2446
01:35:42,691 --> 01:36:20,830
are compliant with both. So I'm

2447
01:35:47,697 --> 01:36:23,333
going to start with my slide. In

2448
01:36:20,897 --> 01:36:24,834
the consent decree, it required

2449
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:26,870
more of the settlement agreement

2450
01:36:24,900 --> 01:36:29,406
and required that officers not

2451
01:36:26,936 --> 01:36:34,610
only not consider race and

2452
01:36:29,472 --> 01:36:42,252
national origin in their

2453
01:36:34,677 --> 01:36:44,153
policing decisionsut also --

2454
01:36:42,319 --> 01:36:46,523
unless there are descriptor of a

2455
01:36:44,220 --> 01:36:48,258
suspect and there is additional

2456
01:36:46,589 --> 01:36:50,960
identifying information. So

2457
01:36:48,325 --> 01:36:52,028
that's one example. Use of force

2458
01:36:51,027 --> 01:36:53,997
policies are actually a number

2459
01:36:52,095 --> 01:36:55,798
of things from the consent

2460
01:36:54,064 --> 01:36:58,835
decree that we added on to the

2461
01:36:55,865 --> 01:37:00,503
use oforce policies. And in

2462
01:36:58,902 --> 01:37:03,039
fact, while we were negotiating

2463
01:37:00,569 --> 01:37:05,141
the consent decree, as we were

2464
01:37:03,105 --> 01:37:06,442
negotiating things along, we

2465
01:37:05,208 --> 01:37:07,843
were starting to incorporate

2466
01:37:06,509 --> 01:37:09,512
some of these higher standards

2467
01:37:07,910 --> 01:37:11,347
into our policy work under the

2468
01:37:09,578 --> 01:37:13,149
settlement agreement anyways. We

2469
01:37:11,414 --> 01:37:15,318
don't have a lot of situations

2470
01:37:13,216 --> 01:37:16,786
between the two agreements that

2471
01:37:15,384 --> 01:37:21,925
conflict because as we were

2472
01:37:16,852 --> 01:37:24,027
negotiating the doj consent

2473
01:37:21,992 --> 01:37:26,295
decree,e were very mindful. We

2474
01:37:24,093 --> 01:37:28,631
wanted to be consistent in what

2475
01:37:27,297 --> 01:37:31,234
actually saw between the two,

2476
01:37:28,698 --> 01:37:33,136
the provisions that the

2477
01:37:31,300 --> 01:37:35,104
department of justice wanted

2478
01:37:33,203 --> 01:37:38,207
were in many, many respects

2479
01:37:35,171 --> 01:37:40,143
exactly identical to what the

2480
01:37:38,274 --> 01:37:42,579
mdhr wanted. I think because

2481
01:37:40,209 --> 01:37:45,248
both of them saw some of the

2482
01:37:42,645 --> 01:37:46,415
same things and one of tm had

2483
01:37:45,315 --> 01:37:47,751
federal jurisdiction and the

2484
01:37:46,482 --> 01:37:52,422
other had state jurisdiction,

2485
01:37:47,817 --> 01:37:54,090
the reforms were connsconsisten

2486
01:37:52,489 --> 01:37:56,359
let's say that. We had a lot of

2487
01:37:54,157 --> 01:37:58,661
the same ground. There was just

2488
01:37:56,426 --> 01:38:00,596
not a lot of conflict because we

2489
01:37:58,728 --> 01:38:06,268
as the city's negotiators me

2490
01:38:00,663 --> 01:38:12,608
sure that we were not going to

2491
01:38:06,335 --> 01:38:14,978
wind up with -- in use of force,

2492
01:38:12,675 --> 01:38:15,945
several things have bn --

2493
01:38:15,045 --> 01:38:43,373
limitations on use of chemical

2494
01:38:16,012 --> 01:38:48,277
spray of people in the car. --

2495
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:48,277
we've -- flr

2496
01:39:25,515 --> 01:39:28,618
-- after review by either

2497
01:39:28,118 --> 01:39:34,624
higher level supervisors or

2498
01:39:28,685 --> 01:39:35,825
review body. Then body worn

2499
01:39:34,691 --> 01:39:40,263
camera. Another policy that we

2500
01:39:35,891 --> 01:39:43,566
had open in order to do the work

2501
01:39:40,330 --> 01:39:44,901
for the mdhr agreement and add

2502
01:39:43,633 --> 01:39:48,538
from the consent decree that

2503
01:39:44,967 --> 01:40:17,366
there is a self-reporting

2504
01:39:48,605 --> 01:40:19,168
requirement now.

2505
01:40:17,433 --> 01:40:19,168
[ please stand by ]

2506
01:52:23,692 --> 01:52:30,665
if you could speak to the mpd

2507
01:52:29,932 --> 01:52:31,867
limitations of hours worked,

2508
01:52:30,732 --> 01:52:33,068
this is the last slide that

2509
01:52:31,934 --> 01:52:33,368
you gave us the update on

2510
01:52:33,135 --> 01:52:34,803
today.

2511
01:52:33,435 --> 01:52:36,104
is the new limitation on hours

2512
01:52:34,870 --> 01:52:38,106
worked, and I know you named a

2513
01:52:36,171 --> 01:52:41,043
couple of numbers, the 16

2514
01:52:38,173 --> 01:52:42,111
hours in a day or in a 24-hour

2515
01:52:41,210 --> 01:52:44,413
period, and there was a second

2516
01:52:42,177 --> 01:52:46,849
one, I can't remember, but is

2517
01:52:44,480 --> 01:52:48,150
this consistent with a

2518
01:52:46,916 --> 01:52:49,384
previous policy on limitation

2519
01:52:48,217 --> 01:52:50,819
of hours worked?

2520
01:52:49,451 --> 01:52:52,087
is it the same number of hours

2521
01:52:50,886 --> 01:52:53,722
or has anything changed that

2522
01:52:52,221 --> 01:53:00,362
you can tell -- that you might

2523
01:52:53,789 --> 01:53:02,097
be able to tell us about?

2524
01:53:00,429 --> 01:53:03,532
» it is consistent.

2525
01:53:02,264 --> 01:53:05,167
my recollection is that it is

2526
01:53:03,599 --> 01:53:05,767
consistent with what the

2527
01:53:05,234 --> 01:53:06,268
settlement agreement required

2528
01:53:05,834 --> 01:53:09,538
as well.

2529
01:53:06,468 --> 01:53:10,305
I can't tell you as I stand

2530
01:53:09,605 --> 01:53:11,340
here whether there were slight

2531
01:53:10,806 --> 01:53:12,708
differences between the

2532
01:53:11,407 --> 01:53:15,944
settlement agreement and the

2533
01:53:12,775 --> 01:53:17,512
consent decree, but it is -- I

2534
01:53:16,011 --> 01:53:19,147
believe it's the same hour

2535
01:53:17,579 --> 01:53:20,816
threshold that was articulated

2536
01:53:19,214 --> 01:53:23,118
in the settlement agreement.

2537
01:53:20,883 --> 01:53:24,086
so, it is now incorporated in

2538
01:53:23,185 --> 01:53:25,821
that policy.

2539
01:53:24,153 --> 01:53:27,055
I also can't tell you if that

2540
01:53:25,888 --> 01:53:31,627
policy right now is in draft

2541
01:53:27,122 --> 01:53:32,828
or if it's been adopted.

2542
01:53:31,694 --> 01:53:34,062
and I could follow up with you

2543
01:53:32,895 --> 01:53:36,265
on that.

2544
01:53:34,129 --> 01:53:39,001
but it's 16 hours per 24-hour

2545
01:53:36,332 --> 01:53:39,668
day and 74 hours per week.

2546
01:53:39,068 --> 01:53:40,435
» sounds good.

2547
01:53:39,735 --> 01:53:44,907
thank you very much.

2548
01:53:40,502 --> 01:53:47,676
th's all.

2549
01:53:44,974 --> 01:53:48,710
» council member shaffer.

2550
01:53:47,776 --> 01:53:52,114
first of all, thank you for

2551
01:53:48,777 --> 01:53:53,315
this overview, with broad

2552
01:53:52,181 --> 01:53:54,416
strokes, to kind of narrow it

2553
01:53:53,382 --> 01:53:55,817
down with each of the

2554
01:53:54,483 --> 01:53:56,484
categories, I really

2555
01:53:55,884 --> 01:53:56,818
appreciated your mhod of

2556
01:53:56,551 --> 01:53:57,920
presentation.

2557
01:53:56,885 --> 01:53:59,321
I would like to ask the

2558
01:53:57,987 --> 01:54:00,989
question around, you know,

2559
01:53:59,388 --> 01:54:02,957
have we determined or tught

2560
01:54:01,056 --> 01:54:06,662
about the financial impact of

2561
01:54:03,725 --> 01:54:13,135
some of these directions that

2562
01:54:06,729 --> 01:54:15,671
we are earking on and have

2563
01:54:13,202 --> 01:54:17,739
we ld out a framework for

2564
01:54:15,738 --> 01:54:19,441
2027 -- or 2027, yeah, 40

2565
01:54:17,806 --> 01:54:20,142
hours times x number of

2566
01:54:19,507 --> 01:54:21,510
employees of additional

2567
01:54:20,209 --> 01:54:23,845
training is going to land in

2568
01:54:21,577 --> 01:54:25,380
april '27, we need to consider

2569
01:54:23,912 --> 01:54:27,883
overtime budget for that.

2570
01:54:25,447 --> 01:54:29,985
can you speak a little bit to

2571
01:54:27,950 --> 01:54:31,520
how we -- how we are

2572
01:54:30,586 --> 01:54:32,587
monitoring where our

2573
01:54:31,587 --> 01:54:35,023
investments are landing so

2574
01:54:32,654 --> 01:54:36,758
that we can better plan for

2575
01:54:35,090 --> 01:54:39,528
them and tell the story, if it

2576
01:54:36,825 --> 01:54:40,429
is related to ourvertime,

2577
01:54:39,595 --> 01:54:42,931
I'm not saying it necessarily

2578
01:54:40,496 --> 01:54:45,000
is, but I think we -- I keep

2579
01:54:42,998 --> 01:54:46,000
hearing abo all the various

2580
01:54:45,067 --> 01:54:47,970
high levels of training that

2581
01:54:46,168 --> 01:54:49,504
we're really tryingo

2582
01:54:48,037 --> 01:54:51,273
implement, which are really

2583
01:54:49,571 --> 01:54:52,908
important, but I haven't heard

2584
01:54:51,340 --> 01:54:57,579
anything about budget or

2585
01:54:52,975 --> 01:55:01,150
fiscal impact.

2586
01:54:57,646 --> 01:55:03,085
» chair, counc member, I'm

2587
01:55:01,216 --> 01:55:04,152
not the best person to ask the

2588
01:55:03,152 --> 01:55:05,688
budgetary questions.

2589
01:55:04,219 --> 01:55:06,921
what I can say, the particular

2590
01:55:05,754 --> 01:55:08,657
training that I was talking

2591
01:55:06,988 --> 01:55:09,658
about is training for

2592
01:55:08,724 --> 01:55:11,159
inveigators in the office of

2593
01:55:09,925 --> 01:55:14,229
police conduct review, which

2594
01:55:11,226 --> 01:55:15,197
is in civil rigs, and

2595
01:55:14,296 --> 01:55:17,532
internal affairs.

2596
01:55:15,731 --> 01:55:20,268
I don't know how much, you

2597
01:55:17,599 --> 01:55:21,903
know, overtime those folks

2598
01:55:20,335 --> 01:55:23,005
would normally incur as a

2599
01:55:21,970 --> 01:55:25,074
normal course, and I think for

2600
01:55:23,072 --> 01:55:26,942
this kind of training, it's

2601
01:55:25,140 --> 01:55:29,211
really a very finite and small

2602
01:55:27,009 --> 01:55:30,845
group, and the training would

2603
01:55:29,278 --> 01:55:32,714
be incorporated into their,

2604
01:55:30,912 --> 01:55:34,549
you know, regular work

2605
01:55:32,781 --> 01:55:36,885
expectations.

2606
01:55:34,616 --> 01:55:37,319
so this training itself would

2607
01:55:36,952 --> 01:55:38,487
not --

2608
01:55:37,386 --> 01:55:40,155
» maybe not this one, but

2609
01:55:38,554 --> 01:55:41,890
more o a cumulative impact as

2610
01:55:40,222 --> 01:55:43,425
we look back.

2611
01:55:41,957 --> 01:55:45,861
I just think that piece of the

2612
01:55:43,492 --> 01:55:47,362
story needs to be told in our

2613
01:55:45,928 --> 01:55:47,729
overtime if it is, in fact,

2614
01:55:47,429 --> 01:55:48,997
affecting that.

2615
01:55:47,796 --> 01:55:50,332
and I just have no visibility

2616
01:55:49,064 --> 01:55:51,233
on that.

2617
01:55:50,499 --> 01:55:51,867
heading into the budget

2618
01:55:51,300 --> 01:55:53,401
season.

2619
01:55:51,934 --> 01:56:00,509
and I think it's really

2620
01:55:53,836 --> 01:56:01,476
important that,.

2621
01:56:00,576 --> 01:56:02,878
in case it is.

2622
01:56:01,543 --> 01:56:04,179
and when you have a work plan,

2623
01:56:02,945 --> 01:56:07,582
it doesn't just come for free,

2624
01:56:04,279 --> 01:56:08,583
ght, we've got the alifa

2625
01:56:07,649 --> 01:56:10,118
dollar amount, that's known

2626
01:56:08,650 --> 01:56:11,186
but beyond that I feel like I

2627
01:56:10,185 --> 01:56:12,854
don't have any handle on what

2628
01:56:11,253 --> 01:56:17,592
that is costing us last year,

2629
01:56:12,921 --> 01:56:19,561
this year, the next ten years,

2630
01:56:17,659 --> 01:56:20,062
and I'm just wondering when

2631
01:56:19,661 --> 01:56:22,397
that's coming.

2632
01:56:20,129 --> 01:56:23,498
» chair whiting, council

2633
01:56:22,464 --> 01:56:24,433
member, certainly -- I mean,

2634
01:56:23,565 --> 01:56:26,301
you're absolutely right that

2635
01:56:25,267 --> 01:56:28,370
the ttlement agreement

2636
01:56:26,368 --> 01:56:30,672
requires a huge amount of

2637
01:56:28,437 --> 01:56:32,073
training for officers and,

2638
01:56:30,739 --> 01:56:34,276
frankly, I don't know how else

2639
01:56:32,140 --> 01:56:38,747
we could do this police reform

2640
01:56:34,343 --> 01:56:40,182
if not for the training.

2641
01:56:38,814 --> 01:56:41,817
you know, we can develop and

2642
01:56:40,249 --> 01:56:43,752
we do develop really awesome

2643
01:56:41,884 --> 01:56:45,854
policies but ifhe officers

2644
01:56:43,818 --> 01:56:47,389
don't know what they say and

2645
01:56:45,921 --> 01:56:51,927
practice them, whichs really

2646
01:56:47,455 --> 01:56:52,994
what happens in training, and

2647
01:56:51,994 --> 01:56:55,497
forgive me, because I don't

2648
01:56:53,061 --> 01:56:56,130
know that we've had that many

2649
01:56:55,563 --> 01:56:56,899
conversations about settlement

2650
01:56:56,197 --> 01:57:01,002
agreement consent decree, but

2651
01:56:56,965 --> 01:57:02,938
one of the kind of, for the

2652
01:57:01,203 --> 01:57:03,538
settlement agreement, and the

2653
01:57:03,004 --> 01:57:06,141
consent decree, there's this

2654
01:57:03,605 --> 01:57:07,242
really cool, in my view,

2655
01:57:06,208 --> 01:57:08,210
emphasis on adult training

2656
01:57:07,309 --> 01:57:10,879
techniques.

2657
01:57:08,310 --> 01:57:13,582
at are really, you know,

2658
01:57:10,945 --> 01:57:14,883
everybody who instructs for

2659
01:57:13,649 --> 01:57:18,820
mpd training has to themsels

2660
01:57:14,950 --> 01:57:20,489
go through a train the tripper

2661
01:57:18,887 --> 01:57:22,323
exercise training in order to

2662
01:57:20,556 --> 01:57:28,363
learn how t teach using adult

2663
01:57:22,390 --> 01:57:30,198
learning techniques.

2664
01:57:28,430 --> 01:57:32,734
and these are verycenario

2665
01:57:30,265 --> 01:57:33,602
based, sometimes they're

2666
01:57:32,801 --> 01:57:33,935
literally physically running

2667
01:57:33,668 --> 01:57:34,936
outside.

2668
01:57:34,002 --> 01:57:38,406
that kind of training is the

2669
01:57:35,003 --> 01:57:40,308
kind of training that, really,

2670
01:57:38,473 --> 01:57:41,176
police reform advocates really

2671
01:57:40,375 --> 01:57:43,745
are stressing because this is

2672
01:57:41,243 --> 01:57:45,614
the way that we change

2673
01:57:43,812 --> 01:57:47,149
culture, this is the way we

2674
01:57:45,681 --> 01:57:50,852
make muscle memory so that

2675
01:57:47,216 --> 01:57:54,589
when officers get in

2676
01:57:50,952 --> 01:57:55,490
ecarious situations, it's

2677
01:57:54,656 --> 01:57:55,891
natural to reactn the right

2678
01:57:55,557 --> 01:57:59,661
way.

2679
01:57:55,958 --> 01:58:00,929
so the training, it's a

2680
01:57:59,728 --> 01:58:02,831
huge -- yes, it's a huge

2681
01:58:01,663 --> 01:58:04,132
investment and it's, in my

2682
01:58:02,898 --> 01:58:06,468
view, absolutely needed.

2683
01:58:04,199 --> 01:58:08,503
what the exact budgetary

2684
01:58:06,535 --> 01:58:11,173
impact and how that's being

2685
01:58:08,570 --> 01:58:12,040
tracked I think is really a

2686
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:14,075
budget office question.

2687
01:58:12,107 --> 01:58:15,443
» well, I've asked about it

2688
01:58:14,142 --> 01:58:16,944
several different places and

2689
01:58:15,510 --> 01:58:17,278
seem to not be able to get an

2690
01:58:17,112 --> 01:58:18,680
answer.

2691
01:58:17,345 --> 01:58:20,348
and I absolutely agree with

2692
01:58:18,747 --> 01:58:22,984
you that training is key to

2693
01:58:20,415 --> 01:58:24,486
seeing chae, right?

2694
01:58:23,051 --> 01:58:25,921
but also with us being the

2695
01:58:24,786 --> 01:58:26,688
stewards of -- a I know I'm

2696
01:58:25,988 --> 01:58:27,989
not speaking to the right

2697
01:58:26,755 --> 01:58:29,557
person here, but for us being

2698
01:58:28,056 --> 01:58:30,959
the stewards of the budget,

2699
01:58:29,624 --> 01:58:34,229
for us not to have that

2700
01:58:31,026 --> 01:58:36,998
information is really -- is

2701
01:58:34,296 --> 01:58:38,300
really amiss in my mind.

2702
01:58:37,065 --> 01:58:39,935
as we tell the story that w

2703
01:58:38,367 --> 01:58:41,269
know or we'll have to hear the

2704
01:58:40,002 --> 01:58:44,773
story in upcoming months about

2705
01:58:41,335 --> 01:58:48,643
what's going on in m.

2706
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:49,778
and, so, maybe we can speak

2707
01:58:48,710 --> 01:58:50,912
off-line and I can tell you

2708
01:58:49,845 --> 01:58:51,880
the places I've checked and I

2709
01:58:50,979 --> 01:58:53,314
haven't been able to get

2710
01:58:51,947 --> 01:58:54,282
answers so I need some more

2711
01:58:53,381 --> 01:58:56,284
direction.

2712
01:58:54,349 --> 01:58:57,819
» council member shaffer, if

2713
01:58:56,351 --> 01:58:59,988
I may, too, feel exactly the

2714
01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:01,189
so we were in these quarterly

2715
01:59:00,055 --> 01:59:03,091
meetings that I'm going to

2716
01:59:01,256 --> 01:59:04,960
speak to on this next item, in

2717
01:59:03,158 --> 01:59:06,528
conversation with ocs and

2718
01:59:05,027 --> 01:59:08,029
other folks, we are going to

2719
01:59:06,594 --> 01:59:09,531
have that opportunity that

2720
01:59:08,096 --> 01:59:11,099
folks from the budget office

2721
01:59:09,598 --> 01:59:12,300
and those related to

2722
01:59:11,166 --> 01:59:13,602
settlement agreement, consent

2723
01:59:12,367 --> 01:59:14,369
decree items are going to be

2724
01:59:13,669 --> 01:59:14,803
present and there for

2725
01:59:14,436 --> 01:59:16,771
questions.

2726
01:59:14,870 --> 01:59:18,873
so hopefully I think that will

2727
01:59:16,838 --> 01:59:19,474
be an avenue or venue to

2728
01:59:18,940 --> 01:59:21,276
answer those questions.

2729
01:59:19,541 --> 01:59:22,444
» my only final point to

2730
01:59:21,343 --> 01:59:23,011
make, whenever you start on a

2731
01:59:22,511 --> 01:59:27,382
journey, you have to

2732
01:59:23,078 --> 01:59:28,483
understand where you're going.

2733
01:59:27,449 --> 01:59:29,784
and knowing that budget piece

2734
01:59:28,783 --> 01:59:35,056
would be a huge help in

2735
01:59:29,851 --> 01:59:36,458
knowing where we're going.

2736
01:59:35,123 --> 01:59:37,225
» thank you.

2737
01:59:36,525 --> 01:59:38,893
council member chavez.

2738
01:59:37,292 --> 01:59:41,529
» thank you, chair whiting.

2739
01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:43,999
I guess my question for the

2740
01:59:41,596 --> 01:59:45,600
attorney's office, the recent

2741
01:59:44,066 --> 01:59:47,669
report shows that they're not

2742
01:59:45,667 --> 01:59:48,303
meeting their goal I

2743
01:59:47,736 --> 01:59:49,571
settlement agreement, which is

2744
01:59:48,370 --> 01:59:50,538
going to add more expense for

2745
01:59:49,638 --> 01:59:52,073
the city because we're not

2746
01:59:50,605 --> 01:59:53,708
meeting the goals and it's

2747
01:59:52,140 --> 01:59:54,576
making us take longer time in

2748
01:59:53,775 --> 01:59:56,544
the settlement agreement.

2749
01:59:54,643 --> 01:59:58,213
iuess my question is, what

2750
01:59:56,611 --> 01:59:59,547
recourse does the city council

2751
01:59:58,380 --> 02:00:00,515
have to ensure that there is

2752
01:59:59,614 --> 02:00:01,850
compliance with the settlement

2753
02:00:00,582 --> 02:00:03,818
agreement?

2754
02:00:01,917 --> 02:00:05,153
and, two -- yeah, I guess I'll

2755
02:00:03,885 --> 02:00:09,224
start there.

2756
02:00:06,088 --> 02:00:11,626
» chair whiting, council

2757
02:00:09,291 --> 02:00:14,362
member, the council doesn't

2758
02:00:11,693 --> 02:00:14,696
di the administration.

2759
02:00:14,429 --> 02:00:16,331
obviously.

2760
02:00:14,763 --> 02:00:17,532
you know, we he reporting

2761
02:00:16,398 --> 02:00:20,035
tools and I think that that

2762
02:00:17,599 --> 02:00:21,469
is, you know, a really

2763
02:00:20,101 --> 02:00:22,804
important accountability item.

2764
02:00:21,870 --> 02:00:26,107
you know, as I mentioned

2765
02:00:22,871 --> 02:00:29,077
before, the ordinance tt

2766
02:00:26,174 --> 02:00:31,312
council president payne

2767
02:00:29,143 --> 02:00:31,746
introduced and will be coming

2768
02:00:31,379 --> 02:00:33,948
soon.

2769
02:00:31,813 --> 02:00:37,152
so you know, the council's

2770
02:00:34,883 --> 02:00:40,755
tool oftentimes is in

2771
02:00:37,219 --> 02:00:42,624
informion and in making

2772
02:00:40,822 --> 02:00:43,591
information publicly available

2773
02:00:42,691 --> 02:00:44,592
and available in committee

2774
02:00:43,992 --> 02:00:47,128
meetings and committee

2775
02:00:44,659 --> 02:00:49,064
hearings and heari those

2776
02:00:47,195 --> 02:00:51,266
reports and, you know, you're

2777
02:00:49,131 --> 02:00:53,568
having alifa come so you have

2778
02:00:51,333 --> 02:00:55,003
a really good handle on what

2779
02:00:53,635 --> 02:00:56,104
our independent monit, and

2780
02:00:55,070 --> 02:00:59,507
remember, they are -- I mean,

2781
02:00:56,171 --> 02:01:01,343
they don't work for us, we

2782
02:00:59,574 --> 02:01:02,010
work -- which is sort of a

2783
02:01:01,410 --> 02:01:03,945
strange situation that we're

2784
02:01:02,077 --> 02:01:05,814
paying for them but they are

2785
02:01:04,012 --> 02:01:06,781
really our overseers in this

2786
02:01:05,881 --> 02:01:09,751
work and they are the ones

2787
02:01:06,848 --> 02:01:11,720
with the expertise and are

2788
02:01:09,818 --> 02:01:12,153
really gauging our

2789
02:01:11,787 --> 02:01:14,556
accountability.

2790
02:01:12,220 --> 02:01:15,657
so, you know, we are paying

2791
02:01:14,623 --> 02:01:19,928
them.

2792
02:01:15,757 --> 02:01:21,029
's a catch rate of $1.5

2793
02:01:20,028 --> 02:01:22,497
llion, but they are really

2794
02:01:21,096 --> 02:01:23,197
the accountability, as well as

2795
02:01:22,564 --> 02:01:23,865
the minnesota department of

2796
02:01:23,264 --> 02:01:24,999

2797
02:01:23,932 --> 02:01:30,472
the court.

2798
02:01:25,066 --> 02:01:31,806

2800
02:01:32,073 --> 02:01:33,975
» I just have a brief

2801
02:01:33,775 --> 02:01:34,976
question.

2802
02:01:34,042 --> 02:01:35,510
I was listening to you in your

2803
02:01:35,043 --> 02:01:38,446
presentation and you were

2804
02:01:35,576 --> 02:01:40,548
talking about howhere were

2805
02:01:38,513 --> 02:01:42,950
alternate means and methods

2806
02:01:40,615 --> 02:01:44,552
for individuals to report

2807
02:01:43,017 --> 02:01:46,722
internal affairs complaints,

2808
02:01:44,619 --> 02:01:48,523
you know, and I was just

2809
02:01:46,788 --> 02:01:50,725
wondering with the current

2810
02:01:48,590 --> 02:01:52,260
situation that happened with

2811
02:01:51,460 --> 02:01:53,895
our previous police chiefs,

2812
02:01:52,327 --> 02:01:55,330
why those alternate means were

2813
02:01:53,962 --> 02:01:56,398
not utilized and is it

2814
02:01:55,397 --> 02:01:58,700
something that people are

2815
02:01:56,465 --> 02:02:01,035
going to be made consciously

2816
02:01:58,767 --> 02:02:03,972
aware of as we're moving

2817
02:02:01,102 --> 02:02:04,939
around administration in

2818
02:02:04,039 --> 02:02:05,707
multiple different departments

2819
02:02:05,006 --> 02:02:07,909
around public safety in the

2820
02:02:06,007 --> 02:02:10,945
city that people will have

2821
02:02:07,976 --> 02:02:15,350
these alternate means to be --

2822
02:02:11,012 --> 02:02:16,451
to really feel supported,

2823
02:02:15,417 --> 02:02:17,452
rit, in their role so that

2824
02:02:16,618 --> 02:02:19,888
they know and understand that

2825
02:02:17,519 --> 02:02:21,790
if I do not feel safe and

2826
02:02:19,955 --> 02:02:23,257
trusted in sharing this

2827
02:02:21,857 --> 02:02:24,993
information or I'mn fear of

2828
02:02:23,625 --> 02:02:26,728
some type of retaliation that

2829
02:02:25,060 --> 02:02:28,730
these things will be readily

2830
02:02:26,795 --> 02:02:31,332
made available and that

2831
02:02:28,797 --> 02:02:32,967
they're actively working to

2832
02:02:31,399 --> 02:02:34,402
support individuals and create

2833
02:02:33,034 --> 02:02:37,338
a better climate and culture

2834
02:02:34,669 --> 02:02:38,673
for our public safety

2835
02:02:37,405 --> 02:02:38,940
divisions as it stands

2836
02:02:38,740 --> 02:02:40,408
currently?

2837
02:02:39,007 --> 02:02:42,610
» chair whiting, council

2838
02:02:40,475 --> 02:02:45,013
member, so, tre are actually

2839
02:02:42,677 --> 02:02:47,249
multiple multiple ways to

2840
02:02:45,347 --> 02:02:48,416
ise concerns, whether it be

2841
02:02:47,315 --> 02:02:50,051
through the internal affairs

2842
02:02:48,483 --> 02:02:53,021
department, the office of

2843
02:02:50,118 --> 02:02:55,523
police conduct review has

2844
02:02:53,088 --> 02:02:58,259
reporting portals thatre on

2845
02:02:55,590 --> 02:02:59,828
the web, human resources

2846
02:02:58,326 --> 02:03:02,063
receives reports, the

2847
02:02:59,895 --> 02:03:03,130
officer -- sorry -- officer --

2848
02:03:02,130 --> 02:03:04,966
the office of cmunity safety

2849
02:03:03,732 --> 02:03:06,734
receives reports, and the

2850
02:03:05,033 --> 02:03:09,571
ethics line actually is, you

2851
02:03:06,801 --> 02:03:10,138
know, we oftentimes get it

2852
02:03:09,638 --> 02:03:12,240
reports through the ethics

2853
02:03:10,205 --> 02:03:14,476
line that are not actually

2854
02:03:12,307 --> 02:03:16,344
ethics complaints but there

2855
02:03:14,543 --> 02:03:17,879
are multiple different ways to

2856
02:03:16,611 --> 02:03:21,049
get a concern to the city.

2857
02:03:17,946 --> 02:03:22,150
» and are those often

2858
02:03:21,116 --> 02:03:25,220
responded to and people are

2859
02:03:22,984 --> 02:03:27,722
adhering to them like acting

2860
02:03:25,287 --> 02:03:29,357
in some immediacy around the

2861
02:03:27,789 --> 02:03:31,759
investigatioof those things?

2862
02:03:29,424 --> 02:03:32,660
» chair whiting, council

2863
02:03:31,826 --> 02:03:34,429
member, yes.

2864
02:03:32,727 --> 02:03:35,730
there are processes, there are

2865
02:03:34,496 --> 02:03:36,898
folks who are assigned to all

2866
02:03:35,797 --> 02:03:41,102
of those things and processes

2867
02:03:38,033 --> 02:03:43,605
in place for intake and review

2868
02:03:42,403 --> 02:03:43,905
of -- in each different

2869
02:03:43,672 --> 02:03:44,172
methodology.

2870
02:03:43,972 --> 02:03:44,572
» really?

2871
02:03:44,239 --> 02:03:45,907
» yes.

2872
02:03:44,639 --> 02:03:48,409
» a those have been in

2873
02:03:45,974 --> 02:03:48,977
place for quite some time?

2874
02:03:48,476 --> 02:03:50,378
» yes.

2875
02:03:49,044 --> 02:03:53,348
» okay.

2876
02:03:50,445 --> 02:03:54,449
I'm just wondering, just based

2877
02:03:53,415 --> 02:03:56,417
on previou experiences that

2878
02:03:54,516 --> 02:03:58,486
we've just had, and I'm not

2879
02:03:56,484 --> 02:04:00,755
naming any names or any

2880
02:03:58,553 --> 02:04:01,756
specific situation, but we

2881
02:04:00,822 --> 02:04:03,191
know the elephant in the room,

2882
02:04:01,823 --> 02:04:05,159
so I just want to make sure

2883
02:04:03,258 --> 02:04:07,362
that those things are like

2884
02:04:05,226 --> 02:04:08,763
clear so that people

2885
02:04:07,429 --> 02:04:11,900
understand because I know that

2886
02:04:08,830 --> 02:04:13,635
there were some issues with

2887
02:04:11,967 --> 02:04:15,069
internal affairs officers

2888
02:04:13,702 --> 02:04:17,238
being removed and different

2889
02:04:15,136 --> 02:04:19,440
things like that and stuff not

2890
02:04:17,438 --> 02:04:20,642
getting done and people not

2891
02:04:19,507 --> 02:04:22,410
getting the resolve or the

2892
02:04:20,709 --> 02:04:23,745
resolution that they needed

2893
02:04:22,477 --> 02:04:24,145
around a number of different

2894
02:04:23,979 --> 02:04:26,181
issues.

2895
02:04:24,212 --> 02:04:29,284
I just really want us to be

2896
02:04:26,247 --> 02:04:31,152
able to work bette and have a

2897
02:04:29,351 --> 02:04:34,522
better climate and culture

2898
02:04:31,219 --> 02:04:36,291
around our public safety

2899
02:04:34,589 --> 02:04:37,492
because what our interoffice

2900
02:04:36,357 --> 02:04:40,128
customer service and

2901
02:04:38,059 --> 02:04:41,996
communication looks like

2902
02:04:40,195 --> 02:04:44,265
reflects on how we respond to

2903
02:04:42,497 --> 02:04:45,733
the constituents in the city

2904
02:04:44,332 --> 02:04:48,236
abroad, right?

2905
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:50,438
and, so, if that's clean and

2906
02:04:48,303 --> 02:04:52,073
our house islean, then we

2907
02:04:50,505 --> 02:04:53,708
can have conversations with

2908
02:04:52,140 --> 02:04:54,709
other people about whatheir

2909
02:04:53,775 --> 02:04:56,411
house and behaviors should

2910
02:04:54,776 --> 02:04:58,079
look like.

2911
02:04:56,478 --> 02:04:59,948
so I just really want --

2912
02:04:58,146 --> 02:05:02,350
that's huge to me, like,

2913
02:05:00,015 --> 02:05:06,054
really really big.

2914
02:05:02,417 --> 02:05:07,022
and ensuring that we're doing

2915
02:05:06,555 --> 02:05:08,456
deep-rooted investigations

2916
02:05:07,088 --> 02:05:10,558
about who we let into our

2917
02:05:08,523 --> 02:05:12,126
house, right?

2918
02:05:10,625 --> 02:05:13,595
because of the culture and the

2919
02:05:12,193 --> 02:05:15,363
climate that we want to hold

2920
02:05:13,662 --> 02:05:16,931
around our public safety and

2921
02:05:15,430 --> 02:05:18,967
what that accountability looks

2922
02:05:16,998 --> 02:05:20,668
like.

2923
02:05:19,033 --> 02:05:21,168
so if there's smear

2924
02:05:20,735 --> 02:05:23,037
campaigns -- and I know

2925
02:05:21,235 --> 02:05:24,238
there's going to be haters in

2926
02:05:23,104 --> 02:05:26,073
the world because there just

2927
02:05:24,305 --> 02:05:28,576
is, okay -- but if there are

2928
02:05:26,140 --> 02:05:29,911
things that are being said

2929
02:05:28,643 --> 02:05:35,083
about conduct and what have

2930
02:05:29,978 --> 02:05:35,884
you that there are deep-dive,

2931
02:05:35,150 --> 02:05:36,951
very serious investigations

2932
02:05:35,951 --> 02:05:38,486
beg done because we don't

2933
02:05:37,018 --> 02:05:39,787
want other people's garbage.

2934
02:05:38,653 --> 02:05:42,924
we just don't.

2935
02:05:39,854 --> 02:05:44,292
so, I just want to make sure

2936
02:05:42,990 --> 02:05:45,360
that there are methods, means,

2937
02:05:44,359 --> 02:05:46,794
we're putng those things in

2938
02:05:45,427 --> 02:05:47,996
place and you're saying that

2939
02:05:46,861 --> 02:05:51,299
that's a thing.

2940
02:05:48,063 --> 02:05:52,166
so I'm gone kdwb nah rest and

2941
02:05:51,366 --> 02:05:53,701
assured that you're saying

2942
02:05:52,233 --> 02:05:55,770
that's a thing, city attorney.

2943
02:05:53,768 --> 02:05:58,873
the end.

2944
02:05:55,837 --> 02:06:00,008
» thank you, council member.

2945
02:05:58,940 --> 02:06:00,942
last question here, honestly,

2946
02:06:00,074 --> 02:06:02,143
a little bit of maybe a

2947
02:06:01,009 --> 02:06:03,444
refresher for me, and I think

2948
02:06:02,210 --> 02:06:05,580
it's helpf for the body and

2949
02:06:03,612 --> 02:06:07,048
those that are watching, if

2950
02:06:05,646 --> 02:06:08,816
you could kind of just maybe

2951
02:06:07,115 --> 02:06:11,452
talk broadly about the areas

2952
02:06:08,984 --> 02:06:12,754
of work, bodies of work that

2953
02:06:11,519 --> 02:06:13,621
are kind of outside of the

2954
02:06:12,821 --> 02:06:15,690
settlement agreement.

2955
02:06:13,688 --> 02:06:18,225
so things that d stand alone

2956
02:06:15,757 --> 02:06:19,293
that are larger, in those

2957
02:06:18,627 --> 02:06:19,627
laer buckets in the consent

2958
02:06:19,360 --> 02:06:22,597
decree.

2959
02:06:19,694 --> 02:06:25,900
» chair whiting, council

2960
02:06:22,664 --> 02:06:29,637
members, so, the jurisdiction

2961
02:06:25,966 --> 02:06:30,638
of the department of justice

2962
02:06:29,704 --> 02:06:31,272
was significantly -- I mean,

2963
02:06:30,705 --> 02:06:33,240
it's federal, right?

2964
02:06:31,339 --> 02:06:35,677
they he broader jurisdiction

2965
02:06:33,307 --> 02:06:36,811
than the state did and their

2966
02:06:35,777 --> 02:06:41,749
vestigation was a little bit

2967
02:06:36,878 --> 02:06:45,153
more wide ranging than mdhr's.

2968
02:06:41,816 --> 02:06:46,487
so, the specific sections tha

2969
02:06:45,220 --> 02:06:48,656
are in the consent decree tha

2970
02:06:47,522 --> 02:06:49,757
are notn the settlement

2971
02:06:48,723 --> 02:06:50,758
agreemen and I'm not going

2972
02:06:49,824 --> 02:06:52,093
to get all of them because

2973
02:06:50,825 --> 02:06:54,696
you're asking me off the top

2974
02:06:52,160 --> 02:06:56,097
of my head, so let's

2975
02:06:54,763 --> 02:06:57,865
remember -- see how well I

2976
02:06:56,164 --> 02:07:02,770
remember what I negotiad.

2977
02:06:58,033 --> 02:07:03,738
there's a section on

2978
02:07:02,837 --> 02:07:06,541
addressing individuals with

2979
02:07:03,805 --> 02:07:07,942
mental health challges that

2980
02:07:06,608 --> 02:07:09,143
is -- you know, there's

2981
02:07:08,009 --> 02:07:10,745
literally one paragraph in the

2982
02:07:09,210 --> 02:07:14,849
settlement agreent about

2983
02:07:10,812 --> 02:07:15,383
having a behavioral response.

2984
02:07:14,916 --> 02:07:18,286
that's it.

2985
02:07:15,450 --> 02:07:19,754
there's a whole really robust

2986
02:07:18,353 --> 02:07:20,655
seion in the consent decree

2987
02:07:19,821 --> 02:07:22,523
reforms on that.

2988
02:07:20,722 --> 02:07:24,859
there's a robust section in

2989
02:07:22,590 --> 02:07:27,762
the consent decree reforms on

2990
02:07:24,925 --> 02:07:30,631
first amendment activity.

2991
02:07:27,829 --> 02:07:32,233
you know, how policing happens

2992
02:07:30,698 --> 02:07:33,568
with protests and those sorts

2993
02:07:32,300 --> 02:07:34,769
of things.

2994
02:07:33,635 --> 02:07:36,738
so that's unique.

2995
02:07:35,070 --> 02:07:37,906
there is a section on

2996
02:07:36,805 --> 02:07:41,543
secondary employment, what we

2997
02:07:37,972 --> 02:07:43,644
think of as off-duty, some of

2998
02:07:41,609 --> 02:07:44,946
which is kind of in pieces in

2999
02:07:43,711 --> 02:07:47,682
the settlemen agreement but

3000
02:07:45,013 --> 02:07:50,852
is its own standalone in the

3001
02:07:47,749 --> 02:07:52,620
consent decree.

3002
02:07:50,919 --> 02:07:53,154
those are the things that come

3003
02:07:52,687 --> 02:07:55,456
to mind.

3004
02:07:53,221 --> 02:07:57,225
there may be a couple of other

3005
02:07:55,523 --> 02:07:57,892
ones, but those are really the

3006
02:07:57,292 --> 02:07:58,960
significant ones.

3007
02:07:57,959 --> 02:08:02,163
» perfect.

3008
02:07:59,027 --> 02:08:02,697
thank you.

3009
02:08:02,230 --> 02:08:05,466
youth engagement.

3010
02:08:03,398 --> 02:08:05,667
» oh, yes, interactions wh

3011
02:08:05,533 --> 02:08:06,334
youth.

3012
02:08:05,733 --> 02:08:06,768
thank you.

3013
02:08:06,401 --> 02:08:07,401
that's another one.

3014
02:08:06,834 --> 02:08:09,504
» yeah, perfect.

3015
02:08:07,468 --> 02:08:10,839
» and, again, there are a

3016
02:08:09,571 --> 02:08:11,539
cole of pieces of that in

3017
02:08:10,905 --> 02:08:15,143
the settlement agreement, but

3018
02:08:11,605 --> 02:08:15,877
in terms of the standalone.

3019
02:08:15,210 --> 02:08:17,612
see, council president knows

3020
02:08:16,211 --> 02:08:18,045
what I negotiated better than

3021
02:08:17,679 --> 02:08:19,447
what I did.

3022
02:08:18,313 --> 02:08:20,448
sorry for the cold call,

3023
02:08:19,514 --> 02:08:21,682
bringing you back to law

3024
02:08:21,516 --> 02:08:23,618
school.

3025
02:08:21,749 --> 02:08:26,120
with that, colleagues, seeing

3026
02:08:23,685 --> 02:08:28,555
no further discussion here, I

3027
02:08:26,187 --> 02:08:30,725
will ask the clerks to file

3028
02:08:28,622 --> 02:08:32,026
that presentation.

3029
02:08:30,792 --> 02:08:35,029
and rort.

3030
02:08:32,093 --> 02:08:36,864
lastly, our last item here --

3031
02:08:35,096 --> 02:08:37,398
and thank you, city attorney

3032
02:08:36,931 --> 02:08:39,634
anderson.

3033
02:08:37,465 --> 02:08:41,702
moving to subcommitteetem

3034
02:08:39,701 --> 02:08:43,838
number 7, our last itemas

3035
02:08:41,769 --> 02:08:45,439
continued from the previs

3036
02:08:43,904 --> 02:08:47,275
meeting on july 14th.

3037
02:08:45,506 --> 02:08:49,010
at that meeting we received a

3038
02:08:47,809 --> 02:08:50,511
presentationrom elefa and

3039
02:08:49,077 --> 02:08:52,947
this report covered the end of

3040
02:08:50,578 --> 02:08:54,515
2025, going into 2026.

3041
02:08:53,014 --> 02:08:56,450
the action today is simply

3042
02:08:54,582 --> 02:08:58,553
just to receive and file -- I

3043
02:08:56,517 --> 02:09:00,922
guess not even receive but to

3044
02:08:58,620 --> 02:09:02,390
file that elefa presentation.

3045
02:09:00,989 --> 02:09:03,357
wanted to note here before we

3046
02:09:02,457 --> 02:09:04,325
move forward on that.

3047
02:09:03,525 --> 02:09:05,326
at that previous meeting, I

3048
02:09:04,392 --> 02:09:06,761
know it was clear that many of

3049
02:09:05,393 --> 02:09:08,262
my colleagues and myself had

3050
02:09:06,828 --> 02:09:11,332
serious concerns about the

3051
02:09:08,329 --> 02:09:13,635
questions and findings in

3052
02:09:11,733 --> 02:09:16,070
elefa's most recent report.

3053
02:09:13,701 --> 02:09:16,937
and concerns which I shared.

3054
02:09:16,137 --> 02:09:18,239
I've express mr.ed to many

3055
02:09:17,004 --> 02:09:23,277
of my colleagues aesire to

3056
02:09:20,742 --> 02:09:26,647
reporting from mpd ocs, city

3057
02:09:23,878 --> 02:09:29,383
attorney's office, opcr, I.t.,

3058
02:09:26,714 --> 02:09:32,320
budgetary updates, and other

3059
02:09:29,450 --> 02:09:33,754
departments as relevant, using

3060
02:09:32,387 --> 02:09:35,289
this subcommittee as a

3061
02:09:33,821 --> 02:09:36,657
mechanism to receive

3062
02:09:35,356 --> 02:09:38,259
continuous quarterly

3063
02:09:36,724 --> 02:09:40,228
results -- sorry -- quarterly

3064
02:09:38,326 --> 02:09:41,329
updates on the city's progress

3065
02:09:40,295 --> 02:09:41,863
towards meeting its

3066
02:09:41,396 --> 02:09:43,064
commitments under the

3067
02:09:41,930 --> 02:09:45,600
settlement agreement and

3068
02:09:43,131 --> 02:09:48,970
consent decree.

3069
02:09:45,767 --> 02:09:50,171
mpd currently holds weekly

3070
02:09:49,037 --> 02:09:51,739
internal reform stat meetings

3071
02:09:50,238 --> 02:09:53,708
where key stakeholders across

3072
02:09:51,805 --> 02:09:54,475
the enterprise meet to walk

3073
02:09:53,775 --> 02:09:56,544
through the status and

3074
02:09:54,542 --> 02:09:57,511
progress of reforms related to

3075
02:09:56,611 --> 02:09:58,179
the consent decree and

3076
02:09:57,578 --> 02:10:00,047
settlement agreement.

3077
02:09:58,379 --> 02:10:03,051
our goal here is to produce

3078
02:10:00,114 --> 02:10:04,585
similar meetings for council,

3079
02:10:03,117 --> 02:10:05,086
for that kind of oversight

3080
02:10:04,651 --> 02:10:06,721
measure.

3081
02:10:05,153 --> 02:10:09,423
my office has been in

3082
02:10:06,788 --> 02:10:10,257
communication with mpd and ocs

3083
02:10:09,490 --> 02:10:12,760
and every other city

3084
02:10:10,324 --> 02:10:13,427
department which this work

3085
02:10:12,827 --> 02:10:14,095
touches through the

3086
02:10:13,494 --> 02:10:17,498
subcommittee and they've

3087
02:10:14,162 --> 02:10:20,568
agreed to come before council

3088
02:10:17,565 --> 02:10:21,769
to present our own reform

3089
02:10:20,635 --> 02:10:23,204
stat-like meetings directly to

3090
02:10:21,836 --> 02:10:25,039
th body, making themselves

3091
02:10:23,271 --> 02:10:26,240
available to council members

3092
02:10:25,106 --> 02:10:27,475
to answer questions or

3093
02:10:26,307 --> 02:10:28,876
concerns surrounding the

3094
02:10:27,542 --> 02:10:31,379
city's progress, both to

3095
02:10:28,943 --> 02:10:33,981
include concerns raised by the

3096
02:10:31,779 --> 02:10:35,549
semi-annual reports that elefa

3097
02:10:34,182 --> 02:10:36,950
will be presenting in front of

3098
02:10:35,616 --> 02:10:37,317
this body on a semi-annual

3099
02:10:37,017 --> 02:10:39,921
basis as well.

3100
02:10:37,384 --> 02:10:41,556
so the first of these

3101
02:10:39,988 --> 02:10:43,958
presentaons will occur

3102
02:10:41,622 --> 02:10:46,494
sometime here in august,

3103
02:10:44,025 --> 02:10:48,462
depending on individual's

3104
02:10:46,561 --> 02:10:49,230
schedules, both council 8

3105
02:10:48,529 --> 02:10:50,998
colleagues' schedules and

3106
02:10:49,297 --> 02:10:53,601
schedules of key stakeholders.

3107
02:10:51,065 --> 02:10:54,635
so looking forward to a time

3108
02:10:53,668 --> 02:10:56,671
here in august.

3109
02:10:54,802 --> 02:10:58,306
did I say september?

3110
02:10:56,738 --> 02:11:04,312
august.

3111
02:11:01,142 --> 02:11:06,080
followed by presentations

3112
02:11:04,379 --> 02:11:07,581
quarterl november, february,

3113
02:11:06,147 --> 02:11:08,816
and may of this year and then

3114
02:11:07,648 --> 02:11:09,884
next year as well.

3115
02:11:09,083 --> 02:11:10,451
and so I'm very excited to

3116
02:11:09,951 --> 02:11:11,752
move forward onhis.

3117
02:11:10,518 --> 02:11:14,388
and want to thank many of my

3118
02:11:11,819 --> 02:11:16,690
colleagues here for the

3119
02:11:14,455 --> 02:11:19,860
collaboration and city half

3120
02:11:16,757 --> 02:11:22,863
for oanizing this -- city

3121
02:11:19,927 --> 02:11:24,431
heavy for organizing this.

3122
02:11:23,131 --> 02:11:25,032
it looks like council member

3123
02:11:24,498 --> 02:11:27,001
shaffer has a question.

3124
02:11:25,099 --> 02:11:28,636
» this is top of my mind

3125
02:11:27,068 --> 02:11:30,471
because I toured yesterday and

3126
02:11:28,703 --> 02:11:31,272
I know I mentioned that to

3127
02:11:30,537 --> 02:11:34,008
you, council member, as well.

3128
02:11:31,339 --> 02:11:35,843
it was very clear when elefa

3129
02:11:34,075 --> 02:11:36,711
spoke to us that we were

3130
02:11:35,910 --> 02:11:37,712
responsible in providing a new

3131
02:11:36,778 --> 02:11:38,913
training facility or an

3132
02:11:37,779 --> 02:11:40,014
appropriate training facility.

3133
02:11:38,980 --> 02:11:41,015
we heard them clearly that

3134
02:11:40,081 --> 02:11:42,650
day in the presentation.

3135
02:11:41,082 --> 02:11:44,085
and I had to leave early so I

3136
02:11:42,717 --> 02:11:45,186
did not hav a chance to ask

3137
02:11:44,152 --> 02:11:47,254
any further questions.

3138
02:11:45,253 --> 02:11:49,123
but I guess I would like to

3139
02:11:47,321 --> 02:11:50,858
know how we as a council are

3140
02:11:49,190 --> 02:11:52,393
going to have an opportunity

3141
02:11:50,925 --> 02:11:54,595
to dialogue about that fact

3142
02:11:52,460 --> 02:11:56,564
because I agree with council

3143
02:11:54,662 --> 02:11:59,767
member chavez that we are on a

3144
02:11:56,631 --> 02:12:01,268
clock with elefa, that we have

3145
02:11:59,834 --> 02:12:02,570
these imptant deadlines that

3146
02:12:01,335 --> 02:12:03,804
we need to meet, and if that

3147
02:12:02,637 --> 02:12:05,306
is one that they are clearly

3148
02:12:03,871 --> 02:12:07,308
telling us, I guess I want to

3149
02:12:05,372 --> 02:12:09,810
have a frank discussion, an

3150
02:12:07,375 --> 02:12:11,345
open discussion, because I

3151
02:12:09,877 --> 02:12:12,013
really want to move this work

3152
02:12:11,412 --> 02:12:13,447
forte.

3153
02:12:12,080 --> 02:12:13,981
like, how are we going to do

3154
02:12:13,514 --> 02:12:15,950
that?

3155
02:12:14,048 --> 02:12:17,585
if we voted down the land, you

3156
02:12:16,017 --> 02:12:19,187
know, if we didn't like tt

3157
02:12:17,652 --> 02:12:20,788
idea, then what ideas do we

3158
02:12:19,253 --> 02:12:21,222
have that we can bring to the

3159
02:12:20,855 --> 02:12:22,656
table?

3160
02:12:21,289 --> 02:12:24,291
an I guess I'm asking when we

3161
02:12:22,723 --> 02:12:25,059
can have an opportunity to

3162
02:12:24,358 --> 02:12:25,493
dialogue about that?

3163
02:12:25,126 --> 02:12:26,460
» yeah.

3164
02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:28,229
inhinking about t I know

3165
02:12:26,527 --> 02:12:31,399
we've kind of discussed this,

3166
02:12:29,931 --> 02:12:32,066
trying to figure out the best

3167
02:12:31,466 --> 02:12:33,801
venue to have these

3168
02:12:32,133 --> 02:12:35,636
conversations as it relates

3169
02:12:34,235 --> 02:12:36,470
to settlement agreement

3170
02:12:35,702 --> 02:12:38,539
reforms and the compliance

3171
02:12:36,537 --> 02:12:40,074
measures for that, I think

3172
02:12:38,606 --> 02:12:43,978
particularly maybe to this

3173
02:12:43,277 --> 02:12:45,613
briefings or policy briefings

3174
02:12:44,045 --> 02:12:46,714
that we do in smaller group

3175
02:12:45,680 --> 02:12:48,449
settings so we can have those

3176
02:12:46,781 --> 02:12:49,450
larger discussions, but also I

3177
02:12:48,516 --> 02:12:52,186
think it is something that can

3178
02:12:51,752 --> 02:12:55,156
meetings as well.quarterly

3179
02:12:52,253 --> 02:12:56,023
so the hope is that all of our

3180
02:12:55,223 --> 02:12:57,224
questions -- a my kind of

3181
02:12:56,090 --> 02:12:59,427
hope for these meetings is

3182
02:12:57,291 --> 02:13:00,628
that all 13 of us can have a

3183
02:12:59,494 --> 02:13:02,129
level of expertise on

3184
02:13:00,695 --> 02:13:03,464
everything that is goi

3185
02:13:02,196 --> 02:13:05,766
through the reform process

3186
02:13:04,265 --> 02:13:08,169
broadly.

3187
02:13:05,833 --> 02:13:09,503
so I think anything gero

3188
02:13:08,236 --> 02:13:10,570
coent decree settlement

3189
02:13:09,570 --> 02:13:13,774
agreement reform progress I

3190
02:13:10,637 --> 02:13:14,374
think is open and valuableor

3191
02:13:13,941 --> 02:13:14,574
conversations concerning

3192
02:13:14,441 --> 02:13:15,008
those.

3193
02:13:14,641 --> 02:13:16,577
» okay, thank you.

3194
02:13:15,075 --> 02:13:17,344
» of course.

3195
02:13:16,644 --> 02:13:18,779
council mb chavez.

3196
02:13:17,411 --> 02:13:19,880
» thank you, chair whiting.

3197
02:13:18,846 --> 02:13:21,649
it would be good to get a

3198
02:13:19,947 --> 02:13:23,584
better explanation from elefa

3199
02:13:21,716 --> 02:13:24,585
because that's not exactly how

3200
02:13:23,651 --> 02:13:25,920
I interpreted what was said.

3201
02:13:24,986 --> 02:13:26,887
I hope moving forwa in these

3202
02:13:26,054 --> 02:13:30,291
conversations there's a report

3203
02:13:26,954 --> 02:13:32,059
back on the internalffairs

3204
02:13:30,358 --> 02:13:33,494
backlog in the consent

3205
02:13:32,126 --> 02:13:34,128
decree -- no, in the

3206
02:13:33,561 --> 02:13:35,996
settlement agreent, that is

3207
02:13:34,195 --> 02:13:37,064
a big issue.

3208
02:13:36,063 --> 02:13:38,299
there's an issue with the

3209
02:13:37,131 --> 02:13:39,266
early intervention system I

3210
02:13:38,366 --> 02:13:39,800
the settlement agreement

3211
02:13:39,567 --> 02:13:42,437
requirement.

3212
02:13:39,867 --> 02:13:43,003
there's an issue with uneven

3213
02:13:42,503 --> 02:13:43,737
progress on policy and

3214
02:13:43,070 --> 02:13:45,006
training development that's

3215
02:13:43,804 --> 02:13:47,475
been flagged across multiple

3216
02:13:45,072 --> 02:13:50,044
reports now.

3217
02:13:47,542 --> 02:13:52,380
mdhr said the city remains far

3218
02:13:50,110 --> 02:13:53,914
from transformational change.

3219
02:13:52,446 --> 02:13:56,083
so there's a lot more than

3220
02:13:53,981 --> 02:13:58,019
just this safety center.

3221
02:13:56,150 --> 02:14:00,287
so wanted to add more context.

3222
02:13:58,085 --> 02:14:00,721
» yup, thank you, council

3223
02:14:00,354 --> 02:14:01,822

3224
02:14:00,788 --> 02:14:04,191

3225
02:14:01,889 --> 02:14:06,026
here, I will ask the clerk to

3226
02:14:04,258 --> 02:14:06,660
again file that presentation.

3227
02:14:06,494 --> 02:14:10,598
perfect.

3228
02:14:06,727 --> 02:14:12,666
and with that, I will pass it

3229
02:14:10,665 --> 02:14:14,535
over to chair.
