00:00:01,670 --> 00:00:15,915
telecommunicator did not exist, residents would be on their own too, finding the resources that they need for help and that yourself in the midst of a crisis and you have Google a phone number for a police station or fire department medical

2
00:00:15,915 --> 00:00:20,120
services without u be left on your own.

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,758
Not know how to help somebody who is maybe having an emergency.

4
00:00:24,758 --> 00:00:33,500
Telecommunicators and one that we're here to walk you through the steps to help somebody as well as keep everybody else in the situation.

5
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:34,567
as a telecommunicator.

6
00:00:34,567 --> 00:00:37,700
It's crucial to gather vital information.

7
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:37,700
Quickly.

8
00:00:37,103 --> 00:00:40,640
It takes a person with certain characteristics to do this job.

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:55,880
Some of the qualities that make a good telecommunicator our patients because we have to have the patience to gather all the information that we need from our callers, empathy because we want to let the colors know that we are here with an for

10
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:56,220
them and not just a random voice.

11
00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:58,591
On the other end of the phone.

12
00:00:58,591 --> 00:01:01,940
And also the ability to compartmentalize.

13
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:04,640
We don't often get a lot of resolution on the calls that we take.

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,102
So when we leave here, we can't take that home with us.

15
00:01:09,102 --> 00:01:16,810
Tracy and her colleagues face daily challenges, including accidental calls being in the 9, 1, 9 area code.

16
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:27,554
easy to mistakenly dial 9-1-1, instead of 9, 1, 9, If this happens, just stay on the line and let tele communicator know that you're okay.

17
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:32,692
It's something callers should keep in mind when dialing 9, one is to try remain calm.

18
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:36,960
understand that my questions are not slowing help down somebody else in the background is Sunday.

19
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:38,980
Mcauliffe or dispatch?

20
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:42,168
Well, I'm gathering information.

21
00:01:42,168 --> 00:01:52,178
Another thing to keep in mind, it's just hard to provide accurate information as best as he possibly come while most cars require emergency dispatching others are less critical in nature.

22
00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:57,500
We encounter a lot of streams and unusual events something that comes to mind for me.

23
00:01:57,500 --> 00:01:57,500
was one.

24
00:01:57,417 --> 00:02:07,994
We have a person driving around the interstate in a Jeep with a giant teddy bear dressed up and he was just honking and waving at people.

25
00:02:07,994 --> 00:02:12,320
We've probably got about 20 to 30 calls about it from citizens to check on him.

26
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,637
Make sure he was OK, he was just having a great time.

27
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:21,708
About a year ago staff of the Emergency Communications Center created a mural.

28
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:25,780
They called the Tree of Life each league.

29
00:02:25,512 --> 00:02:35,555
That knowledge is the work of telecommunicators to either save the life of someone experiencing cardiac arrest war who helped bring a new life into the world by assisting with the child birth.

30
00:02:35,555 --> 00:02:43,496
I think that it's a really great reminder of the importance of her job as well as the impact that we have people's lives.

31
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:44,970
Tracey knows how important her job is.

32
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:51,471
She shows up ready for the unexpected and wanting to make a difference.

33
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:59,712
It's something I really love about my job is that I have made lasting friendships with the people I work We really are like one giant family.

34
00:02:59,712 --> 00:03:06,819
We spent a lot of time together and we understand when one of us goes there, particularly hard situation or takes a difficult call.

35
00:03:06,819 --> 00:03:14,227
We know what it's like and we can encourage and support one another.

36
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:20,797
I truly do love my co-workers like they are my own family.

37
00:03:21,801 --> 00:03:22,350

00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:22,350

I am the supervisor of Raleigh Police Department's animal control unit.

41
00:03:28,975 --> 00:03:31,100
And we make sure that we enforce all of the city.

00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:37,984
A rally in says a typical day for an animal control officer and city of Raleigh.

We patrol parts.

44

We pick up stray animals.

45
00:03:39,652 --> 00:03:43,389
We assist with injured or sick wildlife.

We also have other events that you can find on our animal control page through the city of Raleigh website.

49
00:04:02,508 --> 00:04:10,650
My favorite part about this job is that I wanted to do it my entire life since I was a child, I get to spend my days caring for animals.

50
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:14,253
I've We're ordinances that protect animals.

51
00:04:14,253 --> 00:04:19,892
And occasionally I get to make sure animal either makes it to safety or gets returned back to their owners.

52
00:04:19,892 --> 00:04:20,930
And that is the best part.

53
00:04:20,626 --> 00:04:25,298
That's what it's all about.

54
00:04:25,298 --> 00:04:25,531

Having worked on projects inside the historic public libraries as well as landmarks like Strawberry Fields and the iconic.

60
00:04:48,154 --> 00:04:54,260
But that deterrence, Tanya was eager to put her talent and experience to work here in Raleigh.

61
00:04:54,260 --> 00:05:01,934
I came to work for the city of Raleigh because this is the best city in the beautiful state of North Carolina.

62

As a level 3 commercial electrical inspector on any given day I can spec office buildings, Hospitals, apartment complexes and shopping centers.

63
00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:18,518

I would simply like to work towards making sure that there's more women in this industry for the future.

What I like most about my job is helping general contract understand the importance installing electrical systems and safe manner.

Those are but making sure that they are no electrical hazards that can cause damage fire most As an inspector Tanya encounters, electrical and environmental hazards.

00:06:15,530 --> 00:06:22,660
She protects herself by making sure equipment is properly shut down before inspecting and by being prepared for extreme weather conditions.

72

130
00:10:28,105 --> 00:10:28,339
?

131
00:10:28,339 --> 00:10:35,646
We found is an exciting initiative where we're working with Raleigh, citizens, local, nonprofits and other groups to help plant more trees in Raleigh.

132
00:10:35,646 --> 00:10:36,447
This could be trees in your yard.

133
00:10:36,447 --> 00:10:41,552
Trees on city property, trees in the park looking for opportunities to play aid of trees.

134
00:10:41,552 --> 00:10:47,692
One possible, provide more information to the community about what the plan is the right plan to the right place.

Things like shade, he and animal habitat are huge benefits provided to the community but also allows for our citizens connect with nature as we continue to grow become more dense, having that ability to visit a tree or a park or a natural area

137
00:11:04,809 --> 00:11:09,812
is a huge part of why I do what this idea.

138
00:11:15,186 --> 00:11:15,486
?

139
00:11:15,486 --> 00:11:15,553
Hello.

140
00:11:15,553 --> 00:11:25,763
This a and this would add ?

141
00:11:25,763 --> 00:11:28,833
Sherman picks up dead animals?

142
00:11:28,833 --> 00:11:36,640
He's worked with Raleigh, Solid Waste Services Department for 27 years by 06:00AM Monday through Friday.

That includes deer dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, birds and bears.

148
00:12:01,937 --> 00:12:05,640
If it's reported he goes and gets it.

149
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:19,285
You've probably never seen Sherman, but he's a great example of the many behind the scenes people at the city of Raleigh who perform critical jobs that help keep our community clean and safe.

150
00:12:21,723 --> 00:12:23,790

159
00:12:58,930 --> 00:13:01,530

?

202
00:16:57,832 --> 00:17:05,336
Senior Officer John Hood with the Raleigh Police Department and this is what I do.

203
00:17:06,574 --> 00:17:08,641
?

204
00:17:11,579 --> 00:17:15,950
?

205
00:17:15,950 --> 00:17:22,570
If you've ever attended an event in downtown Raleigh or spent time, one of our parks are beautiful Greenway trails.

206
00:17:22,290 --> 00:17:23,591
There's an excellent chance that encountered.

207
00:17:23,591 --> 00:17:26,628
One of our mounted police officers.

208
00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:33,680
Senior Officer Hood grew up on a farm in nearby Clayton and spent time in the mountains working as a trail guide for joining the Raleigh Police Department.

209
00:17:33,568 --> 00:17:35,270
More than 24 years ago.

210
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:43,110
His passions for horses, law enforcement and citizen engagement drew him to this job.

211
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:46,810
So my job is a not an officer with Rabbi is important because we protect and serve the citizens.

212
00:17:46,614 --> 00:17:52,870
The rally, we patrol the parks, the green wave and the downtown areas.

213
00:17:52,870 --> 00:18:05,233
The cause possesses being able to work with horses, have the knowledge and skills to be able to train as well look at horses, undiagnosed problems and issues to keep them healthy, keep them doing the job that they do as well as communicating

214
00:18:05,233 --> 00:18:09,504
with and well and working with them to do the job as a police officer.

215
00:18:09,504 --> 00:18:17,379
Having officers on horseback provides unique opportunities for citizens of all ages to engage and interact with officers and horses out.

216
00:18:17,379 --> 00:18:20,549
You know, I'm still a police officer still have the powers of arrest and everything else.

217
00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:24,190
We just do it from the back of a horse just have a different means of transportation.

218
00:18:24,190 --> 00:18:27,356
We definitely tracked a lot of people.

219
00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:28,560
We definitely track the crowd.

220
00:18:28,123 --> 00:18:29,240
The horses get a lot of attention.

221
00:18:29,157 --> 00:18:31,727
People come around us.

222
00:18:31,727 --> 00:18:35,364
They want to ask us questions about a horse is about the Breeze Ages.

223
00:18:35,364 --> 00:18:40,669
So we definitely track of the crowd where we go even working downtown some of the block parties and festivities.

224
00:18:40,669 --> 00:18:41,503
The kids come up to us.

225
00:18:41,503 --> 00:18:42,400
They want to pet the horses.

226
00:18:42,237 --> 00:18:44,473
never had a horse before.

227
00:18:44,473 --> 00:18:48,677
So we get a chance to interact with the public that way as well as kids.

228
00:18:48,677 --> 00:18:58,530
What you may not know is that officers on the mounted unit are not only responsible for law enforcement, but for the daily care and well-being of the forest, I say it's definitely fun.

229
00:18:58,530 --> 00:19:10,399
challenge the hard work when I get up in the morning not come England up at the barn where we board them work on her movements.

230
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,402
Make sure she's got exercise put in the round ring lawn chair a little Make sure she gets for food.

231
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:22,678
She hasn't had it already as well as checking her over for any kind of scrapes and bruises or cuts and then 10 to those trailer downtown.

232
00:19:22,678 --> 00:19:26,140
At that point, we're all watching cleaner up.

233
00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:26,648
Also clean up behind her.

234
00:19:26,648 --> 00:19:29,651
She might have some ways to things like that.

235
00:19:29,651 --> 00:19:35,560
And then also put her in the wash sofa down Europe again, 10 to anyone.

236
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,590
end of the we do everything reversed.

237
00:19:38,590 --> 00:19:43,898
So its work to clean up behind her and sadly brush or down put fly spray on her.

238
00:19:43,898 --> 00:19:45,333
And then we put out to pasture.

239
00:19:45,333 --> 00:19:53,675
it's a lot goes into being amount of police officers other than just patrol and talking to people and dealing with the public of dealing with crime or anything like that.

240
00:19:53,675 --> 00:19:58,179
Senior Officer Hood has been with Luna for over 8 months now.

241
00:19:58,179 --> 00:20:02,484
He describes her as interesting and says that their moods can really affect one another.

242
00:20:02,484 --> 00:20:05,220
There's still a lot to learn about each other, but their trust grows daily.

243
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:10,959
So what I enjoy most about my job is working with the horses as well as interact with people out in the public.

244
00:20:10,959 --> 00:20:20,680
I enjoy talking to people as well as helping people working with my coworkers as well as training the horses and getting a bonding relationship with them to do things.

245
00:20:20,235 --> 00:20:27,142
I asked him to do and then seeing that result mounted officers help keep our city safe and make it easy for citizens to engage.

246
00:20:27,142 --> 00:20:33,879
Be sure to stop by and say hello when you see them out and about.

247
00:20:35,417 --> 00:20:35,650

We're also working all weathers sometimes in the sun for hours, rain or even the cold.

258
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:24,966
If I stopped doing my job, you would notice immediately the next time it rains because water would probably start pulling up in the road where we haven't cleaned the bases.

259
00:21:24,966 --> 00:21:33,308
This job a great fit for me because I love helping people and every time you clear a flood in front of somebody's house and the emotions that they show and the absolute love that they show for you.

00:25:51,814 --> 00:25:59,154
We found is an exciting initiative where we're working with Raleigh, citizens, local, nonprofits and other groups to help plant more trees in Raleigh.

314
00:25:59,154 --> 00:25:59,922
This could be trees in your yard.

315
00:25:59,922 --> 00:26:04,960
Trees on city property, trees in the park looking for opportunities to play aid of trees.

316
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:11,660
One possible, provide more information to the community about what the plan is the right plan to the right place.

317
00:26:11,660 --> 00:26:14,336
Trees do all kinds of great things with our community.

318
00:26:14,336 --> 00:26:27,416
Things like shade, heat and animal habitat are huge benefits provided to the community but also allows for our citizens connect with nature as we continue to grow become more dense, having that ability to visit a tree or a park or a natural

319
00:26:27,416 --> 00:26:33,353
area is a huge part of why I do what this idea.

320
00:26:37,593 --> 00:26:37,826
?

321
00:26:37,826 --> 00:26:49,705
To say, Blake, and this is what I do as a senior superintendent of parks, maintenance to show has the important job of making sure Raleigh's athletic field, aquatic centers and destination parks.

322
00:26:49,705 --> 00:26:53,375
Look fabulous from lush green grass and garden beds.

323
00:26:53,375 --> 00:26:54,810
Tiny dog parks.

324
00:26:54,810 --> 00:27:00,115
His goal is to create clean and inviting spaces when citizens come to our parks.

325
00:27:00,115 --> 00:27:07,122
We want to present to them a place where he's going to be peaceful and enjoyable for them to share with their families as they come to enjoy our parks.

326
00:27:07,122 --> 00:27:21,970
A lot of to shea's work is focused on Raleigh's destination parks like Poland, Chavis, the Raleigh Rose Garden and of course Dorothea Dix Dorothy Dix is about the head and they acres of all park space that can utilized in many different ways

327
00:27:21,970 --> 00:27:33,982
that we are responsible for from people using that as every day running trails to large events such as dreamville that we host out So we'll use a destination park Sweeney, a place.

328
00:27:33,982 --> 00:27:37,860
That's what everybody at a place that is available for everyone.

329
00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:40,890
is also responsible for the maintenance of the kids play areas.

330
00:27:40,789 --> 00:27:46,762
This will include the Gibson Play Plaza at Dorothea Dix Park when it opens in the spring of 2025.

331
00:27:46,762 --> 00:27:53,335
it will include play spaces works of art, its Civic plaza fountains and gardens.

332
00:27:53,335 --> 00:27:55,371
A favorite thing about working for the city.

333
00:27:55,371 --> 00:28:01,510
A rally is being able to be a part of a community where we actually get to provide something every citizen.

334
00:28:01,510 --> 00:28:05,414
That is a part of the city experience of working with public education.

335
00:28:05,414 --> 00:28:11,120
I had the opportunity to bring play 2 children every single day that they stepped onto the schoolyard.

336
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:18,527
I don't get SEC, everyone they come out to a But I know that some way I'm doing something to help people make memories.

337
00:28:18,527 --> 00:28:20,620
knows the work he and his crews do has a major impact.

338
00:28:20,129 --> 00:28:24,466
And as with any job, there are some challenges.

339
00:28:24,466 --> 00:28:30,105
One of those is working within the limits of available resources to meet the needs of all people.

340
00:28:30,105 --> 00:28:32,241
Another is keeping the parks clean.

341
00:28:32,241 --> 00:28:37,112
So if you happen to be at a park in see trash, you can help by picking it up.

342
00:28:37,112 --> 00:28:51,193
And if you enjoy being outdoors, you can also volunteer to work in one of our many gardens, a lower than for rallied because I love to come to work in my who's there all skilled and they experts in their respective fields and they do amazing

343
00:28:51,193 --> 00:29:01,330
I learned a lot from them and they make coming into work easy and fun every day.

344
00:29:02,438 --> 00:29:02,738
?

345
00:29:02,738 --> 00:29:03,772
Welcome to Wake TV.

346
00:29:03,772 --> 00:29:07,643
I'm your host.

347
00:29:07,643 --> 00:29:09,780
Taylor shot on this episode.

348
00:29:09,178 --> 00:29:12,181
We're talking about solutions in homelessness.

349
00:29:12,181 --> 00:29:13,282
Tree canopies and 50 years of history.

350
00:29:13,282 --> 00:29:18,185
Stay tuned.

351
00:29:20,956 --> 00:29:23,230
?

352
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:37,600
?

353
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,900
Wake County EMS is celebrating 50 years.

354
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:45,415
Let's take a deep dive into their history.

355
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:48,518
?

356
00:29:51,223 --> 00:29:51,457
?

357
00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:53,225
50 years ago in a medical emergency.

358
00:29:53,225 --> 00:29:56,729
Who would you turn to today?

359
00:29:56,729 --> 00:30:00,990
We all take MS for granted.

360
00:30:00,165 --> 00:30:11,760
But before 1976, volunteer and paid rescue squads provided all emergency medical response duties in Wake County back it was funeral homes that came in.

361
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:18,150
Raleigh was beacon at service until everything started get organized the rescue squads.

362
00:30:18,150 --> 00:30:18,917
what county everything started.

363
00:30:18,917 --> 00:30:22,870
Coming up online as our community grew.

364
00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:25,958
Wake County Commissioners decided it was time for a unified mission.

365
00:30:25,958 --> 00:30:30,950
And on July first, 1976, Wake County EMS was born with 4 trucks.

366
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:33,320
And 24 employees.

367
00:30:33,198 --> 00:30:37,703
Community was used having a truck.

368
00:30:37,703 --> 00:30:43,608
beach well, with merger that that was going to go away.

369
00:30:43,608 --> 00:30:46,912
I mean, that was to go have servers.

370
00:30:46,912 --> 00:30:59,224
But it going to close to truck that You have remember, too, that small you know, You see at the mount.

371
00:30:59,224 --> 00:31:02,828
You responded to their house.

372
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:03,950
2 days ago.

373
00:31:03,950 --> 00:31:09,801
It's more of personal thing, We used to ad was 900.

374
00:31:09,801 --> 00:31:21,880
If the call you when run the just 5 years later in 1981, Wake County EMS entered a new era with advanced life support.

375
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:27,185
Wake County EMT's began to treat patients with more complex equipment and skills.

376
00:31:27,185 --> 00:31:34,359
At the time, there were 9 rescue squads and the county service County service only provided for the city rally.

377
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:36,561
I was hired upgrade the program from basic life support.

378
00:31:36,561 --> 00:31:44,102
Advanced life support all the cruiser taking part in education for EMT's are meeting.

379
00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:50,809
So when you're operating at the EMT level, emergency medical technician, which is is the basic particularly back at the time.

380
00:31:50,809 --> 00:32:00,152
You're responding to a patient and you're thinking in terms of basic support functions that we're going damaging sprinting oxygen.

381
00:32:00,152 --> 00:32:02,788
We're going to gather information.

382
00:32:02,788 --> 00:32:06,692
We're going to take that person to health care.

383
00:32:06,692 --> 00:32:09,610
1984, under the guidance of Director Gerald Brown.

384
00:32:09,610 --> 00:32:11,960
And the recently created training Division.

385
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:20,305
Wake County EMS reached another milestone, but introducing paramedic service further increasing care for patients when you become a paramedic, it's a different approach.

386
00:32:20,305 --> 00:32:32,918
Now we're thinking in terms of I am bringing health care to the patient's side wherever they Heart monitor in the EKG in interpreting the rhythm and making treatment decisions based on what I'm seeing.

387
00:32:32,918 --> 00:32:45,330
So it's a completely different frame of mind as you respond think about things that you're going to do for as far as clinical been some good news under the blue ribbon proposal that was done.

388
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:48,333
They decided they wanted a paramedic on every truck in the county.

389
00:32:48,333 --> 00:32:56,408
I think that was one of the most defining moments that the county every citizen should get a paramedic with the turn of the millennium.

390
00:32:56,408 --> 00:33:13,792
Wake County EMS brought on its first full-time medical director, Dr Brandt Myers to continue to push for an even higher level of care for patients by focusing on clinical research, doctor Mars was just really to listen to use a very captivating

391
00:33:13,792 --> 00:33:21,990
speaker and Dr Morris came in the room and talk to you about a new clinical venture or new data that had surfaced on maybe for a conference.

392
00:33:21,933 --> 00:33:25,871
People listened and they're really eager to put those things in practice.

393
00:33:25,871 --> 00:33:35,747
He could leave Jean to believing what the Mets could So we did see a surge in survival in cardiac arrest, starting in that mid 2, thousands time frame.

394
00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:39,284
goes back to that evidence based medicine that we were talking about.

395
00:33:39,284 --> 00:33:51,290
Before our advanced practice paramedic program that was initiated 2009 seen wonderful things for the community reduction transports dealing with specially populations.

396
00:33:51,290 --> 00:33:56,340
There was a way for us to be able to in a paramedic too high to call.

397
00:33:56,301 --> 00:34:08,347
But it was also an opportunity for us to be able to meet the needs of those are calling on one a little bit better because everybody doesn't necessarily need are.

398
00:34:08,347 --> 00:34:23,610
We able to successfully divert mental health and substance abuse patients to the right resource and to really connect patients who very clear gaps in their social determinants of health to the right resources is actually making a much larger

399
00:34:23,610 --> 00:34:24,463
impact now because focusing on what we know.

400
00:34:24,463 --> 00:34:36,742
We're good at as Wake County EMS entered its 5th decade, leadership turned to new technologies and practices to support staff wellbeing and make response is more efficient.

401
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:42,381
Now, Wake County EMS is an industry leader in peer support because of recent initiatives like it's therapy dog program.

402
00:34:42,381 --> 00:34:52,391
Wake County misses will positions for the future in in regards to things like continuing to develop new approaches.

403
00:34:52,391 --> 00:35:07,539
New innovations in continuing to contribute to as profession as a whole as we've done for many years, use of lights and siren and cutting back on emergency response using Emd is a basis for that in allowing for what we call a cold response.

404
00:35:07,539 --> 00:35:08,674
Not a one processes.

405
00:35:08,674 --> 00:35:18,250
The call categorized non urgent non life-threatening events and what crews respond without lights and siren.

406
00:35:18,250 --> 00:35:20,619
study that show that it's not a detriment.

407
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:25,570
You see the program is going to expand to reduce flights and sign a significant amount.

408
00:35:25,390 --> 00:35:34,660
Wake County EMS isn't a great job communicating with their employees on what's new, what might be coming and what the expectation of how to protect ourselves in this.

409
00:35:34,466 --> 00:35:45,143
And, you know, the citizens would be through COVID certainly the vaccine clinics and the even other EMS personnel that assisted.

410
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:54,153
I think it's cemented our position in the county as department as not just service, but really a public safety partner.

411
00:35:54,153 --> 00:35:57,357
When I started, there were no cell phones.

412
00:35:57,357 --> 00:36:05,640
There were Bieber's and they were ratings ahead to today where you have electronic documentation.

413
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,799
Much expanded indication professional education department.

414
00:36:06,799 --> 00:36:08,568
The use of simulation.

415
00:36:08,568 --> 00:36:09,869
The changes of technology.

416
00:36:09,869 --> 00:36:11,704
This is great.

417
00:36:11,704 --> 00:36:13,390
This is going to save lives.

418
00:36:13,305 --> 00:36:18,344
50 years of care service and excellence is just the beginning.

419
00:36:18,344 --> 00:36:29,719
Now in forever, Wake County EMS looks up our community through a culture of care that never compromises.

420
00:36:32,158 --> 00:36:34,224
?

421
00:36:37,163 --> 00:36:44,637
?

422
00:36:44,637 --> 00:36:44,804
We're back.

423
00:36:44,804 --> 00:36:50,420
I'm here with Eileen Rossa, director of Wake County's continuum of care.

424
00:36:50,420 --> 00:36:51,430
Eileen, thank you so much for joining us.

425
00:36:51,430 --> 00:36:52,645
Thank you so much for having me.

426
00:36:52,645 --> 00:36:54,280
Good.

427
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:54,313
Okay.

428
00:36:54,313 --> 00:36:58,818
So for people hearing about wake at home for the first time.

429
00:36:58,818 --> 00:37:00,820
What is this initiative in wise and watching now?

430
00:37:00,820 --> 00:37:08,527
Yeah, wait at home is really our initiative to address unsheltered homelessness and long-term homelessness.

431
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:15,134
This is launching now because we have never been at a more critical point in our experience as a community.

432
00:37:15,134 --> 00:37:23,209
So this is really, again, just kind of building on really the mission of the continuum of care and of homeless services in general across the nation, right.

433
00:37:23,209 --> 00:37:35,354
That homelessness be rare, brief and nonrecurring and so wake at home is really just sort of our surge effort make that happen because we have been, although we saw an increase in unsheltered homelessness.

434
00:37:35,354 --> 00:37:35,888
overall homelessness.

435
00:37:35,888 --> 00:37:43,195
We've been able to kind of keep it at a steady state and that that's really due to the investments to date.

436
00:37:43,195 --> 00:37:51,303
But, you know, there's that much more that we need to actually see those reductions see that sustained progress.

437
00:37:51,303 --> 00:37:54,473
We've seen people living outdoors across Wake County in recent years.

438
00:37:54,473 --> 00:38:00,312
What are the trends that you're seeing and what led to this creation of wake at home?

439
00:38:00,312 --> 00:38:02,515
Yeah.

440
00:38:02,515 --> 00:38:07,153
Unsheltered homelessness of folks sleeping outside not in shelters right in their cars on the street.

441
00:38:07,153 --> 00:38:11,457
That has really increased its almost doubled since 2020.

442
00:38:11,457 --> 00:38:17,630
And so that's real visible homelessness that I think is is, you know, a tougher problem to deal with it.

443
00:38:17,496 --> 00:38:20,660
Something more visible.

444
00:38:20,366 --> 00:38:23,350
That is very obvious about a social issue.

445
00:38:23,350 --> 00:38:36,480
And so we want to make sure that that nobody has to choose to stay outside and and that really providing those quality choices and quality services for people to participate in so that they don't have to stay outside.

446
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,850
Eileen, can you tell us a little bit more about the different types of homelessness?

447
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:40,586
Sure.

448
00:38:40,586 --> 00:38:42,888
So there are official definitions that the U.S.

449
00:38:42,888 --> 00:38:49,228
Department of Housing and Urban Development issues and that we have to abide by in certain programs.

450
00:38:49,228 --> 00:38:52,565
But generally speaking, we're talking about 2 categories, right?

451
00:38:52,565 --> 00:38:54,333
Wilmer thinking about what's called Littoral homelessness.

452
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:57,970
That is when somebody is actually sleeping.

453
00:38:57,970 --> 00:39:08,881
Outsider unsheltered homelessness, a place that's not meant for human habitation right under a bridge in a car staying outside for being exposed for those long periods of time.

454
00:39:08,881 --> 00:39:23,596
And then the sheltered piece, which could also known as just if you're temporary location that's dedicated for folks experiencing Think about an emergency shelter where people might be able to just walk up directly and get a bed for that or

455
00:39:23,596 --> 00:39:31,270
a program that is more time limited and the requirement to enter is is to be experiencing homelessness from the shelter or the street.

456
00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:39,780
And so those are those are the main categories for the direct scope of folks experiencing homelessness.

457
00:39:39,780 --> 00:39:45,551
And then there's sort of another layer of when people experience homelessness for a long period of time.

458
00:39:45,551 --> 00:39:55,828
So one year continuous or 4 times 4 times over the last 3 years where that time adds up to one year and they have a chronic disabling condition.

459
00:39:55,828 --> 00:39:56,962
That's that's termed as chronic homelessness.

460
00:39:56,962 --> 00:40:09,800
And that's that's really our folks who have been, you know, having to sort of rely on the system and might need that deeper intervention that we aren't necessarily able to to accommodate as an early intervention.

461
00:40:09,408 --> 00:40:18,250
So those are sort of the different levels of homelessness and then again, just sort zooming out when we think about homelessness prevention.

462
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:19,985
We often refer to that as people who are at risk of homelessness.

463
00:40:19,985 --> 00:40:23,889
So that might be right.

464
00:40:23,889 --> 00:40:26,525
You're behind on rent, but you might not have an eviction notice or you do have an eviction notice.

465
00:40:26,525 --> 00:40:34,660
And now you're sort of more precariously housed in that sense and at risk of experiencing literal homelessness that would result in the shelter.

466
00:40:34,633 --> 00:40:35,670
Stay.

467
00:40:35,670 --> 00:40:37,670
And how does wake at home?

468
00:40:37,670 --> 00:40:42,608
Kind of support those who?

469
00:40:42,608 --> 00:40:49,480
May be behind on rent or they may be very close to being, you know, categorized as being unhoused.

470
00:40:49,215 --> 00:40:53,953
And that's I think that's really the beauty of the continuum of care is that it really is an ecosystem.

471
00:40:53,953 --> 00:40:58,424
And we're building on existing infrastructure that Wake County services has right.

472
00:40:58,424 --> 00:41:06,650
All of the different departments services that Wake County provides includes services like that at at the front door.

473
00:41:06,132 --> 00:41:09,769
Had you know, before somebody experiences, homelessness.

474
00:41:09,769 --> 00:41:11,804
So there's everything from wake prevent, which is true, eviction preventions.

475
00:41:11,804 --> 00:41:23,449
So somebody is not yet on the street or in shelter might need some help with rental arrears or preventing that eviction, which can be costly long-term in the homeless services system.

476
00:41:23,449 --> 00:41:35,728
And then we want to make sure that again, we have those flexible financial assistance dollars at the front door so that we can creatively problem solve and say, oh, you're you're stuck here in our shelter because your car broke down and that's

477
00:41:35,728 --> 00:41:42,901
going to cost of $1000 to get you back home where you have a job where you have a social network, let's just pay for those out.

478
00:41:42,901 --> 00:41:45,838
You know that that car repair get you on your way, right?

479
00:41:45,838 --> 00:41:55,547
We don't want you feel stuck here and we don't want you to have to jump through those hoops to to get to the next thing we we just want you know, just be direct and be able to address that issue.

480
00:41:55,547 --> 00:41:56,982
And so I think that can look different.

481
00:41:56,982 --> 00:41:58,951
You know, it can be transportation.

482
00:41:58,951 --> 00:42:08,644
It could be maybe just first month's rent and security deposit, like, hey, it's it's hard enough to afford rent every month on going.

483
00:42:08,644 --> 00:42:11,800
It's even harder to pay double when you need to move in some place.

484
00:42:11,380 --> 00:42:21,590
And so how can we kind of help give that sort of one time, you know, assistance that will ultimately help somebody stabilize long term.

485
00:42:21,590 --> 00:42:28,631
How us wake at home different from the way homelessness has been traditionally addressed in our community?

486
00:42:28,631 --> 00:42:38,574
Well, I think we're we're lucky as a Wake County, the ecosystem of service providers, nonprofits, faith, based organizations that are all working on this issue is is critical to the work.

487
00:42:38,574 --> 00:42:45,815
But we've also seen that traditionally public dollars either from state or federal governments are are kind of restricted, right?

488
00:42:45,815 --> 00:42:51,354
There are more limited to a specific type of housing program, a specific type of service.

489
00:42:51,354 --> 00:42:57,226
And so we don't necessarily have the flexibility to fill all of the gaps that we see in our whole ecosystem with those dollars.

490
00:42:57,226 --> 00:43:13,909
And so wake at home is an attempt to really structure, a public-private partnership so that we can bring in some additional dollar than have that flexibility responsiveness as a community to really be there for when somebody is newly experiencing

491
00:43:13,909 --> 00:43:18,647
homelessness, but also making sure that nobody has to stay in shelter outside for long periods of time.

492
00:43:18,647 --> 00:43:23,520
One of the initiatives first priorities is resolving encampments.

493
00:43:23,419 --> 00:43:28,570
Can you explain what that process looks like and what residents can expect?

494
00:43:28,257 --> 00:43:28,891
Sure.

495
00:43:28,891 --> 00:43:35,231
So encampments are generally the most the most visible experience I think of of homelessness that you can see, right?

496
00:43:35,231 --> 00:43:44,730
It's a it's a group of structures and of people who have had to make a residence outside for lack of better options are just out of concern are at their own risk.

497
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,208
Aversion.

498
00:43:46,208 --> 00:43:53,482
And so really the goal to address encampments is to make sure that we always have and housing offer.

499
00:43:53,482 --> 00:44:03,250
You know, again, historically sort of in in a system where resources are sometimes scarce street outreach teams that have been providing basic care.

500
00:44:03,192 --> 00:44:12,568
Don't always necessarily have the housing resource or the rental assistance or the case management to support long-term and and actually resolve that person's homelessness.

501
00:44:12,568 --> 00:44:22,545
And so really the goal is to figure out our landscape, what are all the different sites and locations that people are experiencing unsheltered homelessness.

502
00:44:22,545 --> 00:44:29,385
We need to assess those sites and see if there are specific public safety risks their health risks and things like that.

503
00:44:29,385 --> 00:44:33,890
Because, you know, we don't want anybody being close to traffic and at risk from that perspective.

504
00:44:33,556 --> 00:44:44,266
And then we have to prioritize as a system and say, you know, if this site is, you know, maybe only has 5 people and we have housing resources ready to go for those 5 people.

505
00:44:44,266 --> 00:44:54,377
Let's let's link up and and prioritize that so that we can also make sure that we're kind of sustaining that once we've assessed and prioritize identified a site.

506
00:44:54,377 --> 00:45:02,510
We work closely with the residents in that on a time line and say right, that this is a site that will need to be closed to street sleeping.

507
00:45:02,284 --> 00:45:06,922
But we have housing for you and most often we're seeing people accept that housing offer.

508
00:45:06,922 --> 00:45:10,626
If we have it available.

509
00:45:10,626 --> 00:45:12,328
And so really then, you know, we are action-oriented.

510
00:45:12,328 --> 00:45:15,398
We have to stay focused, make sure people have their documents.

511
00:45:15,398 --> 00:45:22,380
They can apply to units and then ultimately where we're closing, that encampment were saying, okay, this is this area is now closed.

512
00:45:22,380 --> 00:45:25,474
The street sleeping and we're going to return it to public use.

513
00:45:25,474 --> 00:45:39,555
So if that's, you know, city or county park property, we would work with that entity to, you know, make sure that we're cleaning up debris and things like that and and returning it back to, you know, the ownership and the land of how originally

514
00:45:39,555 --> 00:45:41,570
supposed to be used.

515
00:45:41,570 --> 00:45:47,630
So for some people that may wonder what happens after someone leaves an encampment to kind of share more about that.

516
00:45:47,630 --> 00:45:52,340
How does wake at home help people stay housed long term?

517
00:45:52,340 --> 00:46:04,800
So every housing offer when we are working directly with folks who are relocating from are being rehoused from encampments, that housing offer comes with up to 12 months of rental assistance and supportive services.

518
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:10,860
So think sort of traditional case management, but also more progressive engagement approach, right?

519
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:12,210
We don't want to offer more than what somebody wants.

520
00:46:12,210 --> 00:46:13,522
We want to build on their strengths.

521
00:46:13,522 --> 00:46:16,580
We want to see what their goals are.

522
00:46:16,325 --> 00:46:30,600
And and really the the full goal and a successful I think use of the resources is making sure that people have that permanency long term and that can look different for every single person might be less than 12 months for one person and more

523
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:37,546
than 12 months for another person just as any of us would struggle, maybe with a medical crisis or or something like that.

524
00:46:37,546 --> 00:46:47,890
And so Fort trying to make that right person-centered really responsive to the client needs why us early intervention so important and what kinds of assistance can make the biggest difference?

525
00:46:47,890 --> 00:46:48,791
Yeah.

526
00:46:48,791 --> 00:46:58,340
Well, I think, you know, flexible financial assistance is again, something that we don't necessarily have easy access to as a full homeless services provider system, right?

527
00:46:58,340 --> 00:47:03,305
That a lot of times funding opportunities from the federal other governments are a bit more structured.

528
00:47:03,305 --> 00:47:19,588
And so what we're finding, though, is the earlier we intervene, the lower costs is the intervention and the better success rate that we see longer-term right, that we reduce you know, household experience of trauma and sustained experience of

529
00:47:19,588 --> 00:47:21,590
homelessness in these different systems.

530
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:22,391
Right?

531
00:47:22,391 --> 00:47:29,298
The longer somebody has to kind of live in limbo or live in crisis means that they might be at higher risk, right?

532
00:47:29,298 --> 00:47:31,700
Especially if they're staying outside at higher risk of other health care conditions and and things like that.

533
00:47:31,700 --> 00:47:35,604
And so we want to make sure that earlier we can intervene.

534
00:47:35,604 --> 00:47:39,675
Not only is it the most economical, but it's it's the best for our clients.

535
00:47:39,675 --> 00:47:43,412
And it's the most responsive way that we can be serving.

536
00:47:43,412 --> 00:47:46,315
So this is a significant investment.

537
00:47:46,315 --> 00:47:51,353
What outcomes are you hoping to achieve during the first face the end of 2027?

538
00:47:51,353 --> 00:47:51,420
Yeah.

539
00:47:51,420 --> 00:47:56,250
So this is just the first phase which means we have a lot of outcomes that need to need to be happening long term.

540
00:47:56,191 --> 00:48:00,562
But in phase one that goes through December 2027.

541
00:48:00,562 --> 00:48:10,170
We are aiming to re House 1400 households and that is really informed by our historical data as a homeless services system.

542
00:48:10,170 --> 00:48:14,855
We have about 4500 to 5,000 people who come into our system each year.

543
00:48:14,855 --> 00:48:15,890
They may not stay right.

544
00:48:15,456 --> 00:48:22,620
But we but we know that homelessness can be cyclical and we want to make sure that we're intervening.

545
00:48:22,620 --> 00:48:26,867
And so for 100 of those households are going to be moving directly from the streets are unsheltered homelessness to housing.

546
00:48:26,867 --> 00:48:37,578
So that's the direct to housing approach that we you know, there's never going to be a right time to kind of lunch this, but we we what we need to jump in we need to make sure that we're serving people who are outside that exposed to the elements

547
00:48:37,578 --> 00:48:52,920
and at risk there and then the other 1000 households are really those houses that we expect our sort newly experiencing homelessness, maybe not all in our system right now, but experience homelessness at different phases over the course of a

548
00:48:52,593 --> 00:48:52,659
year.

549
00:48:52,659 --> 00:48:59,933
And so we want to make sure that we have those flexible fund so that we can rapidly respond and be creative in our housing problem solving with them.

550
00:48:59,933 --> 00:49:09,576
What would you say to residents who are concerned about homelessness in their neighborhood but also want us Compassionate Solutions?

551
00:49:09,576 --> 00:49:09,943
Yeah, yeah.

552
00:49:09,943 --> 00:49:10,711
I think it's a great question.

553
00:49:10,711 --> 00:49:15,416
You know, I would urge folks to number one, get involved, you know, get involved in their neighborhoods.

554
00:49:15,416 --> 00:49:24,910
They have service organizations and other neighborhood initiatives that I think are really an important way to to serve our community and have that that lens.

555
00:49:24,458 --> 00:49:27,861
But I would also just say, you know, some reassurance that we're working on it.

556
00:49:27,861 --> 00:49:36,470
You know, it might might not feel like, you know, if you see somebody out every single day and know, at a certain time, it doesn't mean that we're not working on.

557
00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:40,700
It doesn't mean that we are aware of it or that we don't have a team kind of focused on it.

558
00:49:40,174 --> 00:49:47,581
But we also understand, you know, the concern some of the risks and things that our community feels.

559
00:49:47,581 --> 00:49:51,151
And so, you know, there are a couple ways that people can engage first.

560
00:49:51,151 --> 00:49:57,825
You know, I think if anybody feels unsafe or you know, victim of a crime or anything like that.

561
00:49:57,825 --> 00:50:03,764
We would, of course, still encourage folks to to call 9-1-1, engage with emergency services and kind of go from there.

562
00:50:03,764 --> 00:50:07,670
But we have partnerships with our community-based organizations and law enforcement and so on.

563
00:50:07,634 --> 00:50:16,844
And so we want to make sure that we're we're most responsive in a way that that is is best for everybody the other pieces.

564
00:50:16,844 --> 00:50:25,352
You know, let us know if you are concerned about a particular area or or might have observed some folks who need housing support.

565
00:50:25,352 --> 00:50:31,910
There is a homeless camp reporting tool on our website with the Wake County continuum of care and our Web site as wake and C 507, dot org.

566
00:50:31,759 --> 00:50:36,630
And so folks can just anonymously sort of submit that information.

567
00:50:36,130 --> 00:50:46,240
Just tell us the cross streets if you're worried about people because it's close to traffic or it's really cold outside, please let us know and will will deploy those street outreach teams and and work together to make sure that they're connected

568
00:50:46,240 --> 00:50:48,342
to care.

569
00:50:48,342 --> 00:50:52,813
I mean, thank you so much for sharing those resources and telling us about week at home.

570
00:50:52,813 --> 00:50:53,881
Thank you so much for joining us today.

571
00:50:53,881 --> 00:50:57,184
Thank you so much for having me.

572
00:50:57,184 --> 00:50:59,853
whole.

573
00:50:59,853 --> 00:51:02,156
On account of debt.

574
00:51:02,156 --> 00:51:34,820
Want everybody's So Well, a time when we've got back got a point Re pay.

575
00:51:39,590 --> 00:51:42,396
Wake County recently completed a tree canopy assessment.

576
00:51:42,396 --> 00:51:46,166
Let's hear from partners on how it's impacted their work.

577
00:51:46,166 --> 00:51:52,272
County is growing with more people and development shaping the landscape every day as this growth continues.

578
00:51:52,272 --> 00:52:00,280
has become clear that protecting and managing the tree canopy is essential to keeping communities livable and sustainable to better understand current conditions.

579
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,853
We county completed a land cover an analysis with the supporting Tree Canopy Assessment.

580
00:52:05,853 --> 00:52:16,130
The analysis covered all 857 square miles of Wake County and provided a clear picture of the county's changing canopy and the environmental and socioeconomic impact that the tree canopy provides.

581
00:52:16,130 --> 00:52:23,170
We county's urban tree Canopy Group brings together regional partners to share ideas and strategies for protecting and expanding tree cover.

582
00:52:23,170 --> 00:52:32,179
This is a shared effort with municipalities, community partners and residents working together to ensure trees remain an important part of Wake County's future in Morrisville.

583
00:52:32,179 --> 00:52:40,154
Town leaders have use Wake County's Tree Canopy Assessment to guide local decisions and expand their tree programs with support from a grant from the North Carolina Forest Service.

584
00:52:40,154 --> 00:52:43,691
They're building on that work through additional study and several tree-planting initiatives.

585
00:52:43,691 --> 00:52:50,664
We work a lot with trees for the triangle and we invited community members to come out and help us plant saplings.

586
00:52:50,664 --> 00:52:52,766
We had a lot of staff there.

587
00:52:52,766 --> 00:52:58,710
That was a part of the Wake County Tree Canopy Assessment and analysis study.

588
00:52:58,105 --> 00:53:00,273
So we're really proud to get those trees in the ground.

589
00:53:00,273 --> 00:53:01,740
The town can only plant so many trees.

590
00:53:01,108 --> 00:53:10,830
We really need the help of our community and they've shown us so far that they're really excited and enthusiastic about helping us.

591
00:53:10,830 --> 00:53:15,255
We understand and recognize that we need to keep the trees that we have healthy.

592
00:53:15,255 --> 00:53:30,370
And so if we're taking care of our trees and that benefits, you know, a broader community than just morrisville in Raleigh project is helping protect existing trees were planted thousands with the goal of 24,000 new trees by 2030 to the city

593
00:53:30,370 --> 00:53:37,644
is connecting tree canopy efforts to cleaner air cooler neighborhoods and a more sustainable future planting trees in an urban location is often challenging, right?

594
00:53:37,644 --> 00:53:39,312
There's a lot of infrastructure.

595
00:53:39,312 --> 00:53:43,817
A lot of people pavement, all those kind of things that can make things a challenge.

596
00:53:43,817 --> 00:53:47,540
Ultimately, we need to take care of that tree for hopefully 50 years at a minimum, right.

597
00:53:47,540 --> 00:53:53,460
So being able to adequately prepare those trees, get them in the right circumstances to grow.

598
00:53:53,460 --> 00:53:59,166
As our first step, we use a lot of information from the Wake County Canopy study help show planting prioritization areas.

599
00:53:59,166 --> 00:54:00,000
Heat island effect.

600
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:00,967
Things like that.

601
00:54:00,967 --> 00:54:03,970
We wouldn't be able to do half of what we do without our community partners.

602
00:54:03,970 --> 00:54:10,430
So everything from volunteer groups, nonprofits, local businesses that want to sponsor trees and tree plantings.

603
00:54:10,430 --> 00:54:12,450
is a huge piece in Apex the plant.

604
00:54:12,245 --> 00:54:15,480
The peace program is making it easy for residents to take part.

605
00:54:15,115 --> 00:54:22,328
The town provides and plants native trees at no cost helping grow the canopy one yard at a time.

606
00:54:22,328 --> 00:54:27,660
So plan peak its program where residents can apply to get a free tree for their homes.

607
00:54:27,660 --> 00:54:35,308
And we partner with we Finland to do that program and you get the tree professionally installed so you don't have to worry about planting yourself.

608
00:54:35,308 --> 00:54:45,618
We've been pulling a lot of information from the Canopy study about, you know, not just the ecosystem services that trees provide, but, you know, economic value of our tree canopy.

609
00:54:45,618 --> 00:54:50,923
And it was estimated that our tree canopy in that area is worth 77 million dollars.

610
00:54:50,923 --> 00:54:51,791
always brings.

611
00:54:51,791 --> 00:54:55,280
The goal is plant more trees where people live and walk every day.

612
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,565
town is doing this through a street tree program in grants for homeowners associations.

613
00:54:59,565 --> 00:55:05,204
These efforts at more trees in neighborhoods, which means more shade, safer streets and better places to live.

614
00:55:05,204 --> 00:55:12,445
We do have a street tree grant program, which is something we started in 2019 after we were certified as a tree City USA.

615
00:55:12,445 --> 00:55:18,918
And we also have a street ordinance that we require all new development to play street trees every 50 feet where appropriate.

616
00:55:18,918 --> 00:55:28,961
We do have trees available to residents through our giveaway at Holly fast and through the Tree Advisory Committee, we give away 450 trees every year.

617
00:55:28,961 --> 00:55:32,899
We have over 20,000 street trees in our database.

618
00:55:32,899 --> 00:55:37,403
We have people moving here because of the great life that they can have here.

619
00:55:37,403 --> 00:55:39,906
And that comes with all of our natural environment.

620
00:55:39,906 --> 00:55:48,981
And right here in Wake County, places like Sandy Pines Preserve, highlight the importance of restoration once covering hundreds of millions of acres across the Southeast.

621
00:55:48,981 --> 00:55:53,920
Longleaf pines have declined dramatically by the early 2, thousands less than 3% of their historic range remained.

622
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,522
Wake County is working to bring them back.

623
00:55:56,522 --> 00:56:01,894
This particular site here we're working on maintaining and restoring some longleaf pine habitat.

624
00:56:01,894 --> 00:56:03,960
We do kind of work with our general public.

625
00:56:03,830 --> 00:56:08,601
We do kind of promote the types of management that we're doing with this tree.

626
00:56:08,601 --> 00:56:10,470
3 things like educational programming.

627
00:56:10,470 --> 00:56:16,809
Guided nature hikes, volunteer work days to come out and remove competition or help planting additional trees as well.

628
00:56:16,809 --> 00:56:20,790
When we have volunteers that are coming out and planting trees are helping maintain some of these areas.

629
00:56:20,790 --> 00:56:31,900
I think the really the one thing that they really get attached to his back that they can come back and kind of see what they're doing and they can actually watch this trees grow over the years and kind of develop that Tash Menorah was like an

630
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:34,794
investment into their local natural areas.

631
00:56:34,794 --> 00:56:42,350
Wake County's Tree Canopy Assessment works hand in hand with the one water plan showing how trees help protect water, improve the environment and support community growth.

632
00:56:42,201 --> 00:56:51,742
As we county moves forward, this work will guide thoughtful decisions that protect natural resources, enhance the places that we call home.

633
00:56:54,681 --> 00:56:56,747
?

634
00:56:59,619 --> 00:57:06,590

And we have work session on youth engagement and of course, that curfew.

649
01:04:16,489 --> 01:04:20,260
Jonathan Lambert, Milton will be 30 minutes late.

650
01:04:20,260 --> 01:04:31,571
We can note that in the minutes and then I will invite up the slurve Raleigh parks taisha mostly of community engagement and Amanda role of the police department.

651
01:04:31,571 --> 01:04:35,500
Good morning.

652
01:04:35,608 --> 01:04:38,780
taisha mostly with the community engagement department and guests.

653
01:04:38,311 --> 01:04:41,948
As the mayor stated, this is going to be a joint presentation.

654
01:04:41,948 --> 01:04:44,840
So you'll see multiple faces here at the podium.

655
01:04:44,250 --> 01:04:47,654
I am just getting started.

656
01:04:47,654 --> 01:04:49,556
Everyone will be available for questions on their specific programs.

657
01:04:49,556 --> 01:04:53,590
As we wrap up.

658
01:04:53,590 --> 01:04:58,640
So today we will talk a little bit about contacts.

659
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,834
We'll discuss briefly our current programs.

660
01:05:00,834 --> 01:05:04,400
We'll spend some time talking about engagement efforts that took place this summer.

661
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:08,671
And then next steps.

662
01:05:11,678 --> 01:05:17,830
you think about youth engagement as a whole across our organization, it's primarily based and great apartments.

663
01:05:17,250 --> 01:05:23,590
Community engagement, Raleigh Parks and the Raleigh Police Department.

664
01:05:23,590 --> 01:05:30,960
The State Department's have continuously in regularly work collaboratively to identify ways elevate youth voices.

665
01:05:30,530 --> 01:05:40,874
We've done things prior to the events that took place in July, like develop a youth services division and the commuting gauges.

666
01:05:40,874 --> 01:05:47,280
My department, the Raleigh Police Department has created community impact and engagement division.

667
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,617
We're having conversations with Raleigh parks about re imagining what the Raleigh Youth Council looks like.

668
01:05:50,617 --> 01:06:00,226
And then most recently we enhanced our centralized Web page for youth services, which is shown here.

669
01:06:00,226 --> 01:06:04,931
And what that does is create.

670
01:06:04,931 --> 01:06:09,903
one-stop shop for all things related to teens and young people.

671
01:06:09,903 --> 01:06:16,941
It's a starting point to learn with those opportunities are from arts community workforce development, cetera.

672
01:06:19,813 --> 01:06:24,617
For the purpose of today's presentation, with my colleagues were going to be talking about youth.

673
01:06:24,617 --> 01:06:25,752
So you'll hear that.

674
01:06:25,752 --> 01:06:29,622
And we referring to individual that are individuals that are elementary school age.

675
01:06:29,622 --> 01:06:35,950
Your house talk about teens were thinking more, think more high school and then young adults over the age of 18.

676
01:06:35,328 --> 01:06:40,530
So you'll hear that throughout the presentation.

677
01:06:40,530 --> 01:06:55,335
so in the youth area, across all the departments, we have programs like AmeriCorps, Foster grandparents, which is where we have individuals over the age of 55 volunteer in local elementary schools and day care centers, the parks and Recreation

678
01:06:55,335 --> 01:07:12,719
Department does a wonderful job of identifying out of school time across all of those programs that you see on the screen, the Raleigh Police Department having youth summer camps, their leadership program and mentorship opportunities our current

679
01:07:12,719 --> 01:07:15,422
programming around teens within the community engagement department.

680
01:07:15,422 --> 01:07:17,570
I'm gonna start with Raleigh.

681
01:07:17,290 --> 01:07:20,360
Summer youth Employment program which a lot of people are familiar with.

682
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:26,466
And when you think about it, in its inception.

683
01:07:26,466 --> 01:07:30,737
In 1983, young people working in community centers over the summer.

684
01:07:30,737 --> 01:07:40,447
And I just wanted to take a moment to point out the growth in the program since So with in some are they do additional programming with young people.

685
01:07:40,447 --> 01:07:49,220
We've had to mental health summits, job Readiness Training, which is open to anybody who even wants to apply to rally summer youth, walking them through application process.

686
01:07:49,220 --> 01:07:49,989
There.

687
01:07:49,989 --> 01:07:54,828
Several professional development opportunities and some may not know that rally.

688
01:07:54,828 --> 01:07:58,398
Summer youth also has a virtual pathway.

689
01:07:58,398 --> 01:08:09,376
So teenagers are able to work virtually with local businesses like York properties, our nonprofits, like the kind community center there they tackle.

690
01:08:09,376 --> 01:08:13,346
overall challenge is that the businesses identify and a part of their job is proposing a solution at the end of their summer.

691
01:08:13,346 --> 01:08:24,224
We also have our digital impact program and both the connectors and ambassadors work to bridge the digital divide.

692
01:08:24,224 --> 01:08:26,292
They pass out computers to low-income families.

693
01:08:26,292 --> 01:08:39,390
They host programs like and vice about a device where anyone can bring their cell phone computer iPad and have a young people helped them problem solve.

694
01:08:39,390 --> 01:08:47,747
And with that, I'm going to turn over to my colleague can his slur in Raleigh parks.

695
01:08:47,747 --> 01:08:48,415
Good morning, Ken.

696
01:08:48,415 --> 01:08:49,616
His assistant director, Raleigh parks.

697
01:08:49,616 --> 01:08:52,919
Glad to be here with you today.

698
01:08:52,919 --> 01:09:01,127
And they slow transition, as we think about the collaboration she has talked about is that rally summer youth employment program for those of you may not be where a lot of those kids come and work with there in our summer camps.

699
01:09:01,127 --> 01:09:03,763
They're working in our park operations.

700
01:09:03,763 --> 01:09:10,370
So it's a great example of how our 2 groups work together now as typical in some ice light of a lot of information here.

701
01:09:10,370 --> 01:09:11,271
Lot of data look at.

702
01:09:11,271 --> 01:09:22,480
You can But what I want to do today to talk about a couple things that you're going to see in there, one is this is data that we can pull out of our registration system, but it doesn't capture is all of that self-directed passive use of our

703
01:09:22,480 --> 01:09:33,920
greenway trails are our outdoor courts are ardis golf courses are in those other opportunities that people have to recreate within our space is the other thing do want to draw attention to is things like I want to put it.

704
01:09:33,493 --> 01:09:37,196
There's contact hours and also connection.

705
01:09:37,196 --> 01:09:44,203
So contact there was or how often do we have those teams in our programs and then how frequently are they interacting or programs?

706
01:09:44,203 --> 01:09:47,440
What I do want to draw attention to is a couple things in this taste.

707
01:09:47,440 --> 01:09:49,800
Talk about out of school time really important Raleigh parks.

708
01:09:49,208 --> 01:09:55,948
And when that small bell ends, what are the opportunities that we have for both our youth, our teens, and we'll talk live about adult a minute.

709
01:09:55,948 --> 01:09:57,830
So 2 of those is are out of school.

710
01:09:57,517 --> 01:10:03,122
Time includes our cancer specialty camps, our traditional camp and our after school programs.

711
01:10:03,122 --> 01:10:06,292
What we want to do is make sure those are geographically represented.

712
01:10:06,292 --> 01:10:11,640
And after school programs spread out across Raleigh, we also to make sure they have an opportunity to get into different things.

713
01:10:11,497 --> 01:10:15,268
So when we get into our specialty camps were talking about things like entrepreneur camps.

714
01:10:15,268 --> 01:10:20,473
You guys may remember break before you broke for the summer in a bunch of teens when learning about what government looks like.

715
01:10:20,473 --> 01:10:22,800
Do you want to be in the job with R-tn?

716
01:10:22,108 --> 01:10:24,477
even had them out or greenhouse.

717
01:10:24,477 --> 01:10:30,917
So we're looking at those opportunities that the youth, the teens want to be able to learn more about skilled trades, entrepreneur camp.

718
01:10:30,917 --> 01:10:31,851
We had them over works.

719
01:10:31,851 --> 01:10:35,588
What does it look like to start a small business in Raleigh?

720
01:10:35,588 --> 01:10:38,925
The other one I want to draw your attention to is our rally Team Connect program.

721
01:10:38,925 --> 01:10:48,401
It's a membership where our teens can come in and they get opportunities for additional exposures and example that has been having the opportunity go to our pools as part of our after school program.

722
01:10:48,401 --> 01:10:53,172
We would we do believe the basic learn to swim programs and just provides in the access to do it.

723
01:10:53,172 --> 01:11:00,413
The other one to bring in special speakers that may speak to a trade that he speak to a skill, something that is more of their interest.

724
01:11:00,413 --> 01:11:07,720
The other thing, I want to make sure that and we're really fortunate and Raleigh parks that do have program area face, focus groups talking like teens and youth.

725
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,230
But really the conduit is all of our general program.

726
01:11:10,230 --> 01:11:18,598
And you'll see at the bottom of that slide is our general program offerings, those the ones that are just it's martial arts, its arts, its cultural, it's history.

727
01:11:18,598 --> 01:11:22,350
It's all those are all the things that happened through the 50 buildings that we have within Raleigh parks.

728
01:11:22,101 --> 01:11:24,771
And then on top of that, we have our athletic programs.

729
01:11:24,771 --> 01:11:28,641
Those are our leagues and things and then don't forget about our passes.

730
01:11:28,641 --> 01:11:32,578
So what we do is we have a lot of opportunity for open play can come use the fitness center.

731
01:11:32,578 --> 01:11:35,648
Can you just go drop into the pool to be able to do something?

732
01:11:35,648 --> 01:11:41,721
So what we're able to show here is kind of that holistic when the school bell ends, how do we provide opportunities for teens?

733
01:11:41,721 --> 01:11:47,823
And with that, I will turn it over to my colleague with riot police department.

734
01:11:49,162 --> 01:11:50,330
The boarding.

735
01:11:50,330 --> 01:11:51,998
I'm Amanda role with Raleigh Police Department.

736
01:11:51,998 --> 01:11:55,768
I oversee our community impact and engagement Division.

737
01:11:55,768 --> 01:11:58,638
Our division was created October 2025.

738
01:11:58,638 --> 01:12:07,347
and the purpose was to bring all of our youth facing and support of services, including school resource officers.

739
01:12:07,347 --> 01:12:16,222
Our community officers are volunteers are crossing guards as well as our mentors under one umbrella for unity of delivery, as well as command.

740
01:12:16,222 --> 01:12:34,974
Our approach Raleigh Police Department has been with our teens and young adults to provide opportunities for exposure, exposure with our Cadet Program or cadet program includes young people, 14 to 20 years old, ongoing across the entire year

741
01:12:34,974 --> 01:12:37,430
and in the last 3 years we've had 24 cadets.

742
01:12:37,430 --> 01:12:43,916
The program gives these young people an opportunity to see a lite version of the police academy.

743
01:12:43,916 --> 01:12:52,810
So they're exposed to the physical challenges of law enforcement as well as ride alongs and actually seeing real life situations.

744
01:12:52,810 --> 01:12:57,448
They include team building physical fitness as well as community service projects.

745
01:12:57,448 --> 01:13:01,850
Should we be on we can kind of help you get.

746
01:13:01,850 --> 01:13:01,952
I'm just trying to to state.

747
01:13:01,952 --> 01:13:04,880
Hey, do we have slides from?

748
01:13:04,488 --> 01:13:06,570
like that out, OK?

749
01:13:06,570 --> 01:13:08,859
Sorry, yes.

750
01:13:08,859 --> 01:13:13,297
She was on a literally so that that are young adults.

751
01:13:13,297 --> 01:13:15,666
So that's the exposure peace.

752
01:13:15,666 --> 01:13:27,440
The next piece is the application peace application comes when we take young adults in our criminal justice and other related majors from colleges as well as trade schools.

753
01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:41,580
And we pay them to work is Payton turns over over the course of their school year as they are earning that credit, they are also having opportunities to ride along with officers gain some specialized insight into what it's like to be an officer

754
01:13:41,125 --> 01:13:53,700
as well as working with our detective Division what's unique about our internship program is that at the beginning, chief voice directs them all that they are to be ambassadors.

755
01:13:53,700 --> 01:13:58,976
There's to not only represent Raleigh police but also embrace the fact that they are now part of our family.

756
01:13:58,976 --> 01:14:11,956
And we hope that they will go back and share their positive experiences with their colleagues with other college mates to really devote some of the myths about law enforcement and bridge that to divide between those age groups.

757
01:14:11,956 --> 01:14:21,165
At the end of their internship, they present Chark a man in her executive staff a very short presentation.

758
01:14:21,165 --> 01:14:23,501
But it's how did they apply?

759
01:14:23,501 --> 01:14:27,938
That's the application P what Therese did they learn in college and how did they see it play out?

760
01:14:27,938 --> 01:14:34,245
How are they able to to make that application in real time in real life?

761
01:14:34,245 --> 01:14:40,618
The other purpose of our college internship is to lead them into a career in public safety.

762
01:14:40,618 --> 01:14:40,818
To date.

763
01:14:40,818 --> 01:14:54,932
We've had 18% of our police recruits converted to actual police, higher So we've hired 19 of our 100 for in turns in the past 3 years.

764
01:14:54,932 --> 01:15:00,366
With that, turn it back over.

765
01:15:03,741 --> 01:15:04,975
So parks doesn't just stop programming.

766
01:15:04,975 --> 01:15:09,313
Once you graduate from high school, actually pride ourselves on crater.

767
01:15:09,313 --> 01:15:10,647
Great programming.

768
01:15:10,647 --> 01:15:19,990
What I want to talk about here again, that top boy, these are program offerings young adults, ages 19 to 25 general programming again comes in there.

769
01:15:19,990 --> 01:15:22,860
A lot of our programs are situated.

770
01:15:22,860 --> 01:15:28,399
don't you often find like in the martial program, you may have a 10, 12, 14 year, but you must 35 year-old.

771
01:15:28,399 --> 01:15:30,670
And so we look at program offerings.

772
01:15:30,134 --> 01:15:34,905
They aren't always just specific for a target demographic, but they're looking at more of the skill that's in there.

773
01:15:34,905 --> 01:15:39,410
But what we can pull out information, they're related to our program.

774
01:15:39,410 --> 01:15:40,911
We also recognizes once team start to drive.

775
01:15:40,911 --> 01:15:41,645
It opens up.

776
01:15:41,645 --> 01:15:43,800
New opportunities are really should titled the Slide.

777
01:15:43,447 --> 01:15:45,816
You can work where you play.

778
01:15:45,816 --> 01:15:51,321
And so what we have found is really a role for us is both working with NC, State or local colleges.

779
01:15:51,321 --> 01:15:53,624
We have a very broad didn't work study program.

780
01:15:53,624 --> 01:15:59,830
We've worked with NC State for years on the Federal Work study program that brings students in it serves a pipeline to what is that?

781
01:15:59,830 --> 01:16:07,404
Again, look like working in local government and it helps to foster a really just an opportunity to join a passion to be able to come work within the city of Raleigh.

782
01:16:07,404 --> 01:16:13,110
And we do recognize that they may choose another municipality, even though we probably rather have them there.

783
01:16:13,110 --> 01:16:15,212
Our annual internship program.

784
01:16:15,212 --> 01:16:18,949
We will bring in 10 to 15 students not just the state.

785
01:16:18,949 --> 01:16:20,500
We have students from across the state this year.

786
01:16:20,384 --> 01:16:28,250
We from AB State ECU central and of course the Wolfpack have one of the strongest parks and recreation programs in the country.

787
01:16:28,250 --> 01:16:29,560
But we're glad to have him here.

788
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,762
But what we do is we expose them to all facets of the business.

789
01:16:31,762 --> 01:16:35,399
So they're not just can't count safe and not just working or athletics.

790
01:16:35,399 --> 01:16:37,401
They're working meeting with our business session.

791
01:16:37,401 --> 01:16:43,240
They're having opportunities to meet with Steven of what does it look like to run and organizations begins Raleigh parks.

792
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:46,610
So they're really informed on what profession may look like in here.

793
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:52,716
The one that we think is pretty cool me shared information for internship program is led into hiring lot of young people.

794
01:16:52,716 --> 01:16:55,886
So for a guy who's been around for a day or 2, we have a young workforce.

795
01:16:55,886 --> 01:16:56,787
22 to 25.

796
01:16:56,787 --> 01:17:00,224
We have 12 full-time student full-time employees that have graduated.

797
01:17:00,224 --> 01:17:04,261
Most of them have come through our internship program and are now full time employees.

798
01:17:04,261 --> 01:17:09,199
So for me, it's like my daughter is now working with, you learning how how to relate with that.

799
01:17:09,199 --> 01:17:12,870
So the other part of that, and it's really sometimes quite interstate.

800
01:17:12,870 --> 01:17:15,606
But the heart of our operations are part-time staff.

801
01:17:15,606 --> 01:17:19,410
We have 1200 part-time staff that are ages 15 to 25.

802
01:17:19,410 --> 01:17:21,512
More importantly, we're wrapping up our summer season.

803
01:17:21,512 --> 01:17:28,419
So in order to make the 15,000 campers come through, it takes a lot of counselors to operate a pulls.

804
01:17:28,419 --> 01:17:34,725
It takes a lot of lifeguards, 650 of those part-time employees are ages 15 to 19.

805
01:17:34,725 --> 01:17:41,632
And we like to tell them if you need money in your pocket throughout the year can be a life guard come work for us in some capacity and we'll find the opportunity work with Raleigh Parks.

806
01:17:41,632 --> 01:17:46,270
I'll hand it back over Taisha.

807
01:17:46,270 --> 01:17:46,670
All right.

808
01:17:46,670 --> 01:17:51,942
And wrapping up the young adult section in the community engagement department.

809
01:17:51,942 --> 01:17:54,778
We something that's relatively new, which is a pipeline from the rally.

810
01:17:54,778 --> 01:18:00,184
Summer youth Employment program to the rally Summer Youth alumni Lions.

811
01:18:00,184 --> 01:18:10,600
And we found that important because there was a need to continue providing mentorship, networking and programs to individuals that age out of Raleigh, summer youth employment.

812
01:18:10,527 --> 01:18:14,980
We also our pathways to public service program and community com internship.

813
01:18:14,798 --> 01:18:17,901
Both are open to college juniors, seniors and recent grads.

814
01:18:17,901 --> 01:18:33,817
They work in city departments like the council office, Human Resources, Communications, the community comment and turns Marceau and the office of Sustainability robbing water.

815
01:18:33,817 --> 01:18:41,910
we average about THIRTY-ONE participants per year across We're now going transition over to some of our engagement efforts.

816
01:18:41,291 --> 01:18:47,559
And you're going to hear from doctor role.

817
01:18:47,665 --> 01:18:53,404
So is the next citing before the Raleigh Police Department and city of Raleigh.

818
01:18:53,404 --> 01:18:57,690
The first Friday in June is declared national gun violence awareness and prevention.

819
01:18:57,690 --> 01:19:04,364
And our mayor was kind enough to do a proclamation for us.

820
01:19:04,364 --> 01:19:09,680
That also launched effort to highlight in orange almost everything we did.

821
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:18,440
So if you noticed orange and wonder why we changed our colors, it was a continuously promote the message about anti gun violence and gun safety.

822
01:19:18,440 --> 01:19:24,170
We hosted tonight the summer and we engage 309 teens.

823
01:19:24,170 --> 01:19:24,450
Equally important.

824
01:19:24,450 --> 01:19:26,953
We engage their families.

825
01:19:26,953 --> 01:19:33,326
Parents had an opportunity to drop their kids off at the centers and play a lap and then come back.

826
01:19:33,326 --> 01:19:34,660
But they actually state and they also engage with us.

827
01:19:34,660 --> 01:19:38,798
And so we have an opportunity meet them.

828
01:19:38,798 --> 01:19:40,990
Young people played basketball against our police officers.

829
01:19:40,733 --> 01:19:51,644
And I will tell you, nobody held back including chief voice of and they would because they're rejected balls like it.

830
01:19:51,644 --> 01:19:54,414
It was quite the fouls heartfelt.

831
01:19:54,414 --> 01:19:57,216
We also many of our command staff members served as referees.

832
01:19:57,216 --> 01:20:00,787
So this was all Stormy came to.

833
01:20:00,787 --> 01:20:17,360
I think every one of them and we almost got her to play overall a great You know, kids were engaged and we have doubled our numbers from last year.

834
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,606
In on June, start on June 9th.

835
01:20:20,606 --> 01:20:24,430
We hosted a something to say teens against violence.

836
01:20:24,430 --> 01:20:29,480
Teen Hall that teen Hall was part of our summer action plan kickoff.

837
01:20:29,480 --> 01:20:44,664
What that was was an opportunity for us to collaborate with Parks and rec and to bring teens from strategic locations that we selected provided transportation and gave young people a voice we use is a young people to cope facilitate and we wanted

838
01:20:44,664 --> 01:20:45,965
to know what they had to say.

839
01:20:45,965 --> 01:20:49,969
Not what we wanted to tell them.

840
01:20:49,969 --> 01:20:50,736
We engaged a total of 55 teens.

841
01:20:50,736 --> 01:20:54,974
And what we saw is that that engagement carried across multiple events.

842
01:20:54,974 --> 01:21:00,790
So we started to see kids show up at other events and Hoop Knights had a following across the city.

843
01:21:00,312 --> 01:21:07,530
So as far out as Lakeland, we had a turnout with kids that we know from Robert Parker from Chavis Heights.

844
01:21:07,530 --> 01:21:12,324
So overall, we had a fantastic summer and we are looking forward to next year.

845
01:21:12,324 --> 01:21:16,696
turn this over to taste.

846
01:21:16,696 --> 01:21:17,430
All right.

847
01:21:17,430 --> 01:21:18,831
That's gonna pass musical chairs and took questions at the end.

848
01:21:18,831 --> 01:21:26,305
Ok, I'm gonna bring us home and talk about the remainder of our summer engagement.

849
01:21:26,305 --> 01:21:31,430
So you've heard about all the programs that we the initiatives that we have.

850
01:21:31,430 --> 01:21:36,949
And we do want to pause and take a moment acknowledge that they're still very well may be gaps that exist.

851
01:21:36,949 --> 01:21:43,923
And we want to ensure that we're doing our due diligence streamline our efforts across departments to enhance programming.

852
01:21:43,923 --> 01:21:46,920
Look at operational adjustments.

853
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:52,264
Both and communicates Mont Raleigh Parks, Raleigh Police Department and throughout the organization.

854
01:21:52,264 --> 01:21:53,566
So this summer, we really did continue.

855
01:21:53,566 --> 01:21:58,104
Our efforts are combined missions of meeting people where they are.

856
01:21:58,104 --> 01:22:03,109
And we begin our conversations with teenagers to our team table tops.

857
01:22:03,109 --> 01:22:12,952
We had a couple of goals and I want to preface it was saying this is just the beginning of this more so meaningful engagement.

858
01:22:12,952 --> 01:22:16,255
But we did want to share information about what we currently do.

859
01:22:16,255 --> 01:22:25,998
We wanted to understand how the city can better support young people and get feedback again on those gaps programs, spaces, cetera.

860
01:22:25,998 --> 01:22:27,833
We and our partnership with Raleigh Parks.

861
01:22:27,833 --> 01:22:32,872
We went to several teen extreme camps.

862
01:22:32,872 --> 01:22:37,810
We engaged with the virtual cohort, a rally summer youth employment.

863
01:22:37,810 --> 01:22:41,800
We grateful that Sage statement adolescent girls everywhere.

864
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:41,800
That's the photo there.

865
01:22:41,647 --> 01:22:48,287
They welcomed us into their space to have some thought provoking conversations as well.

866
01:22:48,287 --> 01:22:58,230
We're also in the process we are also in the process of setting meetings with the Boys and Girls Club, find CA the triangle, nonprofits who are already doing this work there.

867
01:22:58,230 --> 01:23:02,680
Plenty of nonprofits reckon with young people throughout our city, local high schools and community leaders.

868
01:23:02,301 --> 01:23:09,475
All of that is in the works and we wouldn't dare try to do it just in the summer.

869
01:23:09,475 --> 01:23:13,846
So those events here, we had our preliminary gauge men which included 15 touch points.

870
01:23:13,846 --> 01:23:17,683
So there are 8 group discussions, 7 tabling events.

871
01:23:17,683 --> 01:23:33,265
So that's just going to national night out or strategic places across the city again to meet people where they are, where we had a lot of conversation and it even if it wasn't facilitate it, it was the opportunity for them to participate in

872
01:23:33,265 --> 01:23:36,350
our survey so we can hear more about what it is that we could do.

873
01:23:36,350 --> 01:23:38,671
Focus on.

874
01:23:38,671 --> 01:23:44,477
We're also nights and the chief, you know, he did a great job out there.

875
01:23:44,477 --> 01:23:47,813
So thing.

876
01:23:47,813 --> 01:23:47,980
All right.

877
01:23:47,980 --> 01:23:51,884
So the survey, I'm going to talk briefly about what we heard.

878
01:23:51,884 --> 01:23:59,759
I do want to mention that the participants were able to receive our choose the multiple options.

879
01:23:59,759 --> 01:24:01,600
And this is just the top floor.

880
01:24:01,227 --> 01:24:04,897
So this is not include everything we did ask.

881
01:24:04,897 --> 01:24:05,640
So where do you hang out?

882
01:24:05,631 --> 01:24:08,401
You'll see here that the top response was at a friend's house.

883
01:24:08,401 --> 01:24:10,836
The Mall movies are community center.

884
01:24:10,836 --> 01:24:12,838
We oppose the question.

885
01:24:12,838 --> 01:24:17,476
What are the barriers to existing programs?

886
01:24:17,476 --> 01:24:19,478
Why are you interested or not interested why me you not?

887
01:24:19,478 --> 01:24:22,348
Why?

888
01:24:22,348 --> 01:24:24,984
Excuse me if you participate in our current programs, that's great.

889
01:24:24,984 --> 01:24:34,427
But if not with stopping you and what we heard was not close by was the top people not knowing what's available.

890
01:24:34,427 --> 01:24:37,196
We also heard a little bit about not having a ride.

891
01:24:37,196 --> 01:24:42,902
So those are the top 4 responses there.

892
01:24:42,902 --> 01:24:43,569
We posed the question.

893
01:24:43,569 --> 01:24:46,972
What's one thing you wish existed for teens and Raleigh?

894
01:24:46,972 --> 01:24:52,345
And I understand that we may say we are ready, do that.

895
01:24:52,345 --> 01:24:52,945
We already have that.

896
01:24:52,945 --> 01:24:56,682
This is simply their perception.

897
01:24:56,682 --> 01:24:57,783
Their lived experiences of what we offer.

898
01:24:57,783 --> 01:25:01,383
Okay.

899
01:25:01,487 --> 01:25:07,774
So more ways to be heard and lead initiatives, unique spaces for teens.

900
01:25:07,774 --> 01:25:13,813
It free and teens only.

901
01:25:13,813 --> 01:25:24,691
They said somewhat supervised opportunities to foster talent, study halls, free therapy, networking spaces for teenagers all but we heard it was consistent in just a hangout spot was what they were looking for.

902
01:25:24,691 --> 01:25:27,861
We also pose the question.

903
01:25:27,861 --> 01:25:30,864
Where do you hear about current programming resources?

904
01:25:30,864 --> 01:25:36,436
You'll see family member or friend schools, social media.

905
01:25:36,436 --> 01:25:45,679
We went deeper, disable what social media channels use the most TikTok and Instagram where the top 2 there was a lot of feedback.

906
01:25:45,679 --> 01:25:48,715
A bow, how they enjoy relay double pose.

907
01:25:48,715 --> 01:25:53,486
So they want to see Rios and social media trends.

908
01:25:53,486 --> 01:25:57,691
They were interested in potentially having a social media with ran by teens.

909
01:25:57,691 --> 01:26:03,893
But what they do oversight and how we could look at that as an opportunity.

910
01:26:04,300 --> 01:26:18,144
The key takeaways gathering spaces outside of school work or home increased awareness of city offerings, fluidity and the type of programs would be welcomed and they want to be more involved in decision-making.

911
01:26:18,144 --> 01:26:20,213
At this time.

912
01:26:20,213 --> 01:26:23,583
We're not posing solutions are not seeking solutions.

913
01:26:23,583 --> 01:26:29,550
We just want to continue to have conversations and we want to understand what opportunities are.

914
01:26:29,550 --> 01:26:36,950
So that's why this fight has laid out a potential areas to explore so social media, how we can connect to the strategic plan.

915
01:26:36,950 --> 01:26:42,101
Developing a more from a pipeline between departments and youth so that their input can be incorporated.

916
01:26:42,101 --> 01:26:48,841
You saw our youth Web page, but how can we enhance that isn't meeting the needs of what people and their families are looking for.

917
01:26:48,841 --> 01:26:58,251
Re-imagining the Raleigh Youth Council, which we spoke to earlier and having spent last quarter nation in our communications with the public school system.

918
01:26:58,251 --> 01:27:04,157
So our immediate next steps are just to continue gathering gaps that the city can feel.

919
01:27:04,157 --> 01:27:10,830
We want to build out on our partnerships with external organizations and establish shared goals.

920
01:27:10,830 --> 01:27:17,637
Look at our exploration operational adjustments and then the long term we want to be able to say that we strengthen teen representation.

921
01:27:17,637 --> 01:27:27,880
created the pathway and that we continue to adjust our programs events based off that the feedback and updated teen representation.

922
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:36,889
And so with that again, I'm here with Raleigh Parks, probably police department to take any questions thank you for a lot of information.

923
01:27:36,889 --> 01:27:40,357
Questions from council.

924
01:27:42,895 --> 01:27:49,933
I've got some questions just when you talk about the centralized communication with Wake County Schools.

925
01:27:49,969 --> 01:27:53,373
Given that they're finding out a lot of this at schools.

926
01:27:53,373 --> 01:27:56,242
That sounds like a good and important step.

927
01:27:56,242 --> 01:27:58,440
And I'm also just curious about weight tech.

928
01:27:58,440 --> 01:28:04,917
Some of the other, just what's happening now and what can we do to strengthen that?

929
01:28:04,917 --> 01:28:15,895
So what's happening now is that we have contacts a different departments who have contacts with different people in the school system as far as getting information too.

930
01:28:15,895 --> 01:28:17,630
And so we acts the teenagers about social media.

931
01:28:17,163 --> 01:28:27,106
They said we follow it followed Wake County because they can tell us when school's going P they don't have to watch the ticker anymore.

932
01:28:27,106 --> 01:28:32,245
But we just identified that we need basis think way across departments to get information to and from.

933
01:28:32,245 --> 01:28:37,316
And currently is not as strong as it could be.

934
01:28:37,316 --> 01:28:41,688
counts for something.

935
01:28:41,688 --> 01:28:47,193
First, commend you for the survey and the takeaways.

936
01:28:47,193 --> 01:28:47,894
Worked on a similar project.

937
01:28:47,894 --> 01:28:48,995
Another say don't want to mention.

938
01:28:48,995 --> 01:28:56,690
It was called the Yes Lawyering project because in this particular city teams were being targeted in public space.

939
01:28:56,269 --> 01:28:59,372
And so there was this project call.

940
01:28:59,372 --> 01:29:04,510
Yes, yes, we're in project to tell young people you are welcome in public space.

941
01:29:04,510 --> 01:29:07,714
And we did some research and came up with findings.

942
01:29:07,714 --> 01:29:09,615
Very close to your takeaways.

943
01:29:09,615 --> 01:29:15,540
And I was impressed by it because the top one is hang out on structured, not programmed.

944
01:29:15,455 --> 01:29:18,391
Just to be with friends to just talk.

945
01:29:18,391 --> 01:29:27,100
Those are very good takeaways did guess the question manager, how's that now going to embed itself?

946
01:29:27,100 --> 01:29:31,904
Because that's very different than programming or rec centers at something different.

947
01:29:31,904 --> 01:29:39,946
And it's important because young people saying this is what I want, even those call out quotes that you had those 3 slides to me were very, very powerful.

948
01:29:39,946 --> 01:29:47,653
And it's a young people saying not all because I'm guessing 12% population between 10 19.

949
01:29:47,653 --> 01:29:50,223
That's 50 to 60,000 young people.

950
01:29:50,223 --> 01:29:52,580
You have a couple of 1000, not you.

951
01:29:52,525 --> 01:29:55,280
The city in their parks program.

952
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:59,320
What about the other 40, 50,000?

953
01:29:59,198 --> 01:30:00,867
How are we going to take some of those takeaways and recommendations?

954
01:30:00,867 --> 01:30:06,973
Because I was supported that agreed with that and think it is their way of telling us this is what I want.

955
01:30:06,973 --> 01:30:08,708
All right.

956
01:30:08,708 --> 01:30:14,414
And so, yes, we did engage with youth that are already a part of our programs and initiatives.

957
01:30:14,414 --> 01:30:27,927
But apart the main reason why we also scheduled papa community events because we understand that there's another group of young people that may not be engaged in the programs that we are for and so will current plan is to continue doing that

958
01:30:27,927 --> 01:30:40,600
meeting people where they are looking outside the conversations that are going to have with our partners is also going to be very important because when we met with the YMCA, for example, they're just trying to figure out where star in what

959
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:41,240
we're doing.

960
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:46,279
And so there was a lot of synergy, inorganic chemistry around how we can build together.

961
01:30:46,279 --> 01:30:47,747
So we don't have that the answer right now.

962
01:30:47,747 --> 01:30:52,185
We want to continue talking to our youth.

963
01:30:52,185 --> 01:30:59,688
And then working with our partners, bringing the city together to figure out the best way forward collectively.

964
01:31:00,293 --> 01:31:00,693
I think.

965
01:31:00,693 --> 01:31:03,863
thank you for this.

966
01:31:03,863 --> 01:31:10,870
I have a handful of questions and some may not be for you but just so one.

967
01:31:10,870 --> 01:31:16,242
I have private communications around use TikTok.

968
01:31:16,242 --> 01:31:17,789
I know that's the the youths are.

969
01:31:17,789 --> 01:31:19,240
And I think we should try to reach them there.

970
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:28,199
But I it I wonder even allowed to be there and how we might use partnerships influencers or something to you.

971
01:31:28,199 --> 01:31:29,567
To stay legal.

972
01:31:29,567 --> 01:31:33,471
But get onto that platform.

973
01:31:33,471 --> 01:31:44,820
about answer the question for you Robin, Tickle Communications director at No, We do not use TikTok because at this point it is an application that both the city and the state have decided our privacy and security risk.

974
01:31:44,482 --> 01:31:47,510
So we do not have our own account there.

975
01:31:47,510 --> 01:31:47,919
There are ways absolutely.

976
01:31:47,919 --> 01:31:55,960
Like you said Inc influencers, perhaps agency contract that we could have some TikTok.

977
01:31:55,960 --> 01:32:03,835
Another idea that we are looking at is to use Instagram a little bit differently, perhaps with a different kind Caledonia over promised give too many details.

978
01:32:03,835 --> 01:32:12,940
So that the real content video content would be a little bit more teen focused in its in its place.

979
01:32:15,113 --> 01:32:18,950
And then another question I have is around kind building off what customers over as mentioned.

980
01:32:18,950 --> 01:32:24,422
you know, we have about and very loose terms about 100,000.

981
01:32:24,422 --> 01:32:32,300
Youths and minors and in the city and some of these programs are generously accessing about one percent of those.

982
01:32:32,196 --> 01:32:37,435
So we have lots of kids who are not being captured our programs.

983
01:32:37,435 --> 01:32:48,479
And I'm curious if there's any tracking done by any other agencies community health survey that indicates how many user being touched by like?

984
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:53,714
Programming, whether it's Raleigh YMCA are boys and girls.

985
01:32:54,786 --> 01:32:55,753
In terms of quantum.

986
01:32:55,753 --> 01:32:59,924
Sorry can us again road Raleigh parks, quantifiable data.

987
01:32:59,924 --> 01:33:01,826
We can talk to our partners.

988
01:33:01,826 --> 01:33:13,604
So when you do council member, if you think about the nonprofit's, the why the boys, girls clubs, Wake County Public School system, lots of nonprofits, the youth, the question where there are they being Gauger, they be engaged by the city of

989
01:33:13,604 --> 01:33:13,638
Raleigh.

990
01:33:13,638 --> 01:33:19,143
I think that's an area where as Taisha brought up, how do we work with our partners to understand who they're already serving?

991
01:33:19,143 --> 01:33:22,580
It's really valuable opportunity for us to explore that a little deeper level.

992
01:33:22,580 --> 01:33:36,270
And I think the school system relationship is significantly important because that's a conduit where we can find those kids that may not be engaged in some different opportunities and programs, access areas for them to get involved that may

993
01:33:36,270 --> 01:33:40,898
fit more in their niche instead of us trying to put him into some things that already exist.

994
01:33:40,898 --> 01:33:44,402
Yeah, I think that would be a really valuable area to explore more and have better data on.

995
01:33:44,402 --> 01:33:48,773
I I would love for all kids to touch Raleigh parks program.

996
01:33:48,773 --> 01:33:53,911
But I understand that they can still be productive, if say, are engaged in some something productive.

997
01:33:53,911 --> 01:33:58,182
And so it would be nice to understand how many.

998
01:33:58,182 --> 01:34:02,549
supported somehow.

999
01:34:02,754 --> 01:34:07,425
Amanda roles us and director Raleigh Police Department.

1000
01:34:07,425 --> 01:34:22,907
One of the things I think you're getting at is the groups that we're also looking at in the police department we're pretty focused on the missing data where the kids were not touching and where the kids were touching, but not necessarily documenting

1001
01:34:22,907 --> 01:34:28,880
our division includes word impact because you have to be able to measure the impact to know that you're moving in the right direction.

1002
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:34,452
Our officers are part of our policy includes community policing.

1003
01:34:34,452 --> 01:34:39,123
It has the premise that we're all community policing officers.

1004
01:34:39,123 --> 01:34:47,665
So from the time the patrol officers do a couple to block event, they're making contact young people, their families, they're making referrals.

1005
01:34:47,665 --> 01:34:57,809
Our school resource officers are also identifying kids who might be a good fit for our summer camps or need to be referred to other programs throughout the city.

1006
01:34:57,809 --> 01:34:59,143
And so we're doing the work on that level.

1007
01:34:59,143 --> 01:35:07,719
Every time we engage with somebody at the community center, we say also know where you can school making relationships and those connections.

1008
01:35:07,719 --> 01:35:15,930
But our officers do a lot of identifying kids who could benefit as well as our community leaders.

1009
01:35:15,930 --> 01:35:25,136
So in the something the save it, many of kids came from Saint Giles and that was because of a key community leader that we reached out to because we recognize that that was a community.

1010
01:35:25,136 --> 01:35:27,739
It might not necessarily have transportation.

1011
01:35:27,739 --> 01:35:31,240
And we actually provided that transportation.

1012
01:35:33,378 --> 01:35:36,470
And then just another just one more in on impasse.

1013
01:35:36,470 --> 01:35:44,856
Mike, I was curious are on the feedback we've got on the Just anecdotally, if.

1014
01:35:44,856 --> 01:35:46,290
I'm curious, one of its hours of operation came up at all.

1015
01:35:46,290 --> 01:35:56,634
If teams are saying like I want to please hang out late at night or the things on which they want more.

1016
01:35:56,634 --> 01:36:08,146
Opportunities to be heard and lead on where their themes within that like, are they caring about park design rezonings or kind of if there was a characteristic of what they want to be engaged on?

1017
01:36:08,146 --> 01:36:09,914
Yes, that's a good question.

1018
01:36:09,914 --> 01:36:17,321
We did have that option around we had a question about what would.

1019
01:36:17,321 --> 01:36:20,758
Make more likely to use one of community spaces.

1020
01:36:20,758 --> 01:36:25,563
And later hours was part of that.

1021
01:36:25,563 --> 01:36:31,102
We had conversations and are facilitated discussions about how to get involved.

1022
01:36:31,102 --> 01:36:32,603
It wasn't that granular.

1023
01:36:32,603 --> 01:36:32,837
It was more.

1024
01:36:32,837 --> 01:36:36,507
So we feel like things are happening to us.

1025
01:36:36,507 --> 01:36:40,345
And we want to be able to contribute to the conversation before a decision is made.

1026
01:36:40,345 --> 01:36:47,885
It didn't go to what types of to that could to have that could be broadly civically engaged.

1027
01:36:47,885 --> 01:36:51,389
They could mean sort of government.

1028
01:36:51,389 --> 01:36:51,923
Sure, Jordan, sure.

1029
01:36:51,923 --> 01:36:58,960
But also, you know that I'm sure there's interest in other topics that are more specific.

1030
01:36:58,396 --> 01:36:59,664
We just exit silly.

1031
01:36:59,664 --> 01:37:05,131
Thank you.

1032
01:37:06,371 --> 01:37:06,838
thank you for this.

1033
01:37:06,838 --> 01:37:12,643
I was wondering with the Raleigh Youth Council and we're talking about re imagining Raleigh Youth Council.

1034
01:37:12,643 --> 01:37:26,657
Can we first define what the expectations are with the what is currently and then what the hope if there's a goal of what it turns into what I've noticed in talking around the communities that.

1035
01:37:26,657 --> 01:37:28,680
Most high schools have a student council.

1036
01:37:28,135 --> 01:37:29,690
And so I was like, oh, wow.

1037
01:37:29,690 --> 01:37:31,380
We also have a Raleigh Youth council.

1038
01:37:31,105 --> 01:37:40,881
Some wondering is in this reimagination of it would touch on to the already existing student councils within the high school system.

1039
01:37:40,881 --> 01:37:40,914
Can.

1040
01:37:40,914 --> 01:37:42,616
So let me start back with a question what it is now.

1041
01:37:42,616 --> 01:37:45,850
So actually into ordinance, there's an establishment of a Raleigh Youth Council.

1042
01:37:45,850 --> 01:37:49,656
The calls out to what it is and so housed within Raleigh parks.

1043
01:37:49,656 --> 01:37:55,462
It is actually a group of 60 about 60 students on average every year from across Wake County.

1044
01:37:55,462 --> 01:37:57,765
It's really a leadership development program.

1045
01:37:57,765 --> 01:38:00,367
It's an opportunity for them, their self governing.

1046
01:38:00,367 --> 01:38:01,201
They set their own elected officials.

1047
01:38:01,201 --> 01:38:04,972
They said from policies, procedures and as part of the state council's of youth.

1048
01:38:04,972 --> 01:38:20,888
So they actually en route interact with other youth councils from across the state, through conferences, through community service through opportunities, such as that's so in its current state, kind of citywide representation.

1049
01:38:20,888 --> 01:38:21,989
They set their own rules.

1050
01:38:21,989 --> 01:38:23,257
They do their own community service.

1051
01:38:23,257 --> 01:38:26,600
They interact with other agencies from a community service aspect.

1052
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:32,766
One of the things that we've done because as questions come up from a couple years is now they have a standing report interact with our Parks, Recreation Greenway Advisory board.

1053
01:38:32,766 --> 01:38:37,710
So we bring informed as they're working so that help support.

1054
01:38:37,710 --> 01:38:39,373
Some are programs like our specialize, recreation activities or the law.

1055
01:38:39,373 --> 01:38:42,409
So sure about their community service activities.

1056
01:38:42,409 --> 01:38:55,589
One of the things that we've been looking to do and Taisha has brought up is they're one of our primary conduits to Wake County public school systems were able to feed information back into the schools through these students because we don't

1057
01:38:55,589 --> 01:38:57,591
have to centralize touch point.

1058
01:38:57,591 --> 01:39:00,594
And that's our opportunity to make more awareness of that.

1059
01:39:00,594 --> 01:39:12,239
Now, what we also do is make sure that's fully cross representation A lot of it is those students who are actively looking for leadership opportunities for looking for things that they can put on their college application.

1060
01:39:12,239 --> 01:39:14,800
What are the things that they're getting involved in?

1061
01:39:14,174 --> 01:39:16,760
These are these are students that are already wanting to.

1062
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:18,780
They're looking to aspire to achieve a higher level.

1063
01:39:18,780 --> 01:39:21,480
What we want to do is expand the breath of that.

1064
01:39:21,480 --> 01:39:29,757
So how can we make sure every student who is who wants to be a part of the council knows one about it and 2, how do I get connected to it?

1065
01:39:29,757 --> 01:39:34,161
So as we work through community gauge Mont, what are different pathways that we can get to.

1066
01:39:34,161 --> 01:39:35,996
But then also there are other opportunities.

1067
01:39:35,996 --> 01:39:36,960
will bring it back to stable.

1068
01:39:36,697 --> 01:39:39,500
How can they interact more with you?

1069
01:39:39,500 --> 01:39:40,670
Because that's what they want.

1070
01:39:40,501 --> 01:39:43,637
one of the things having raised 2 teens is the region.

1071
01:39:43,637 --> 01:39:46,306
they don't like being told here is how you do things.

1072
01:39:46,306 --> 01:39:47,675
And that's not think it's good or bad.

1073
01:39:47,675 --> 01:39:55,683
But it's a part of going through teen hood and how do they interact with the local officials for policies that are made about how they're going to conduct their everyday activities?

1074
01:39:55,683 --> 01:40:02,560
When we established the teen center, we set that up specific as funny as teacher brought up issues like we're step on toes.

1075
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:04,580
But they're like it's our space people.

1076
01:40:04,258 --> 01:40:07,528
Your age can come in and I'm okay, can I come in when you're not up?

1077
01:40:07,528 --> 01:40:09,630
And yes, you can come in when you're not open.

1078
01:40:09,630 --> 01:40:10,931
It.

1079
01:40:10,931 --> 01:40:14,100
But they were very specific about how that space would be governed.

1080
01:40:14,100 --> 01:40:15,569
And that's what we're looking at.

1081
01:40:15,569 --> 01:40:21,410
Can the youth council expand those opportunities have interactions to meet with the city manager, the assistant city manager.

1082
01:40:21,410 --> 01:40:22,843
These are the things that are happening.

1083
01:40:22,843 --> 01:40:24,110
And right now that's not so easy.

1084
01:40:24,110 --> 01:40:26,800
And we get the people are super busy.

1085
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,249
So I'm not here to be judgmental, but that's what they've shared with us.

1086
01:40:29,249 --> 01:40:29,450
It does.

1087
01:40:29,450 --> 01:40:33,687
Thank you so much.

1088
01:40:33,687 --> 01:40:33,787
Stephanie.

1089
01:40:33,787 --> 01:40:34,521
Thank you for for the information.

1090
01:40:34,521 --> 01:40:38,258
A couple things I just wanted to touch on.

1091
01:40:38,258 --> 01:40:39,590
See where the students mention opportunities.

1092
01:40:39,393 --> 01:40:40,928
The foster talent.

1093
01:40:40,928 --> 01:40:42,563
And I thought about growing up.

1094
01:40:42,563 --> 01:40:44,164
There's a show.

1095
01:40:44,164 --> 01:40:57,578
Cause sparks and it was teens on stage is ran by WRAL and they gave students the opportunity to show talent, do different things, work on a stage and behind stage.

1096
01:40:57,578 --> 01:41:05,519
And I know a lot of our and we talk about work of Wake County Public schools, some of them have different studios and things of that nature Wake County has the rules.

1097
01:41:05,519 --> 01:41:06,530
So be it.

1098
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:20,670
Is there something that we could possibly do and foster as we are re-imagining our new r-tn location, a new building to create a space for those that may be interested in avenue of talent and opportunities.

1099
01:41:20,668 --> 01:41:30,678
So this one thing I kind of wanted to put out there something you'll have thought about and have a couple of others after that.

1100
01:41:30,678 --> 01:41:42,220
Robin Tickle again from communications, I think definitely with that space in the building and we have a hope to reinvigorate our community producer program where they would have more opportunities to come in with an idea and we can help them

1101
01:41:42,220 --> 01:41:42,322
produce their show.

1102
01:41:42,322 --> 01:41:44,692
That goes on cable access.

1103
01:41:44,692 --> 01:41:49,630
I think there are a number of ways that we can creatively use that space as we go forward.

1104
01:41:49,630 --> 01:41:59,340
And I would also that would be definitely in partnership with Parks, community engagement, perhaps Raleigh police that has all of these programs to bring people in and run them through a program earlier this year.

1105
01:41:59,340 --> 01:42:02,109
I think Ken mentioned it.

1106
01:42:02,109 --> 01:42:06,847
We had some youth in here learning how to run the controls for council meeting.

1107
01:42:06,847 --> 01:42:09,160
And that was pretty interesting.

1108
01:42:09,116 --> 01:42:12,619
They said of the table and some of them set in the booth and they had a MAAC meeting.

1109
01:42:12,619 --> 01:42:15,220
We didn't but they did have that opportunity.

1110
01:42:15,122 --> 01:42:15,222
Cook.

1111
01:42:15,222 --> 01:42:15,589
Thank you.

1112
01:42:15,589 --> 01:42:17,524
It's good to hear that.

1113
01:42:17,524 --> 01:42:24,698
And speaking of this is says of tonight, I know is doing this summer.

1114
01:42:24,698 --> 01:42:38,912
Is there opportunity to once a month event throughout the year to continue like a 3rd of Friday night even or something because it sounds like we have gather the attention of some of our young people.

1115
01:42:38,912 --> 01:42:43,851
Now things opportunity because a lot of times things I hear is will you start the stop?

1116
01:42:43,851 --> 01:42:50,157
So is there a way to these continue the event throughout the year?

1117
01:42:50,157 --> 01:42:50,224
Absolutely.

1118
01:42:50,224 --> 01:42:52,590
So that's the part of our impact is continuous engagement.

1119
01:42:52,590 --> 01:42:54,695
It's not one and done.

1120
01:42:54,695 --> 01:42:56,630
And so for hoop nights, we already have too.

1121
01:42:56,630 --> 01:43:05,772
We're just looking for dates once going to be at the Islamic Association of Raleigh and the other one's going to be at the Jewish Federation of Raleigh.

1122
01:43:05,772 --> 01:43:10,110
They're part of our eye care team members and they want to open up their courts.

1123
01:43:10,110 --> 01:43:15,882
We are also looking at doing weather permitting public be more outdoor ones, pop ups.

1124
01:43:15,882 --> 01:43:21,688
Just, you know, lobsters really take that and decide if they want to host one as well as bowling events.

1125
01:43:21,688 --> 01:43:24,570
We've got some other.

1126
01:43:24,257 --> 01:43:25,920
We've talked about hockey.

1127
01:43:25,525 --> 01:43:33,100
We've talk about we've done pickleball over the summer, engaging with them in a variety of of lace is is our overall focus?

1128
01:43:33,100 --> 01:43:33,200
Ok?

1129
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:33,567
Thank you.

1130
01:43:33,567 --> 01:43:33,767
My last 2.

1131
01:43:33,767 --> 01:43:37,400
Why you're there.

1132
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:43,918
I know you mention police in turns 18%, which is 19 that we hire.

1133
01:43:43,918 --> 01:43:47,388
But do we track any of the others that may have moved?

1134
01:43:47,388 --> 01:43:50,525
So where are they were hired by another agency, a municipality?

1135
01:43:50,525 --> 01:43:53,610
Do we track that data as well?

1136
01:43:53,610 --> 01:43:57,832
Well, when they come in as well as when they're leaving, we asked them what are your intentions?

1137
01:43:57,832 --> 01:44:04,972
And we get a fair amount who say they are going to grant school which mean we won't see them than theirs.

1138
01:44:04,972 --> 01:44:07,800
with similar or related majors who want to go into social work.

1139
01:44:07,642 --> 01:44:10,611
And so they're getting exposure with ACORN's.

1140
01:44:10,611 --> 01:44:13,470
But they actually don't want to be a law enforcement officer.

1141
01:44:13,470 --> 01:44:23,524
And my last question for all of us, if there's an established nonprofit that is already working with youth and they want to reach out and connect.

1142
01:44:23,524 --> 01:44:25,260
How do they do that?

1143
01:44:25,260 --> 01:44:27,929
They can reach out directly to us.

1144
01:44:27,929 --> 01:44:32,834
informations, honor, Raleigh police Community Impact Engagement Division website, all of our contacts.

1145
01:44:32,834 --> 01:44:33,534
However, they want to reach us.

1146
01:44:33,534 --> 01:44:35,903
Okay.

1147
01:44:35,903 --> 01:44:43,244
And many of us want to share feel That's branch I didn't want to touch on.

1148
01:44:43,244 --> 01:44:46,948
I'm glad you brought that nights and one of things.

1149
01:44:46,948 --> 01:44:51,850
That's what we did with offer with invite when the bubbles.

1150
01:44:51,850 --> 01:44:52,530
And so this is again raising boy and a girl.

1151
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:56,240
Not everybody plays athletics.

1152
01:44:56,190 --> 01:45:00,610
And so one thing you look that up, there were one of the other things skills, those type of things.

1153
01:45:00,128 --> 01:45:05,933
So we've got great partnerships with folks like Raleigh, Little Theatre, other Is there different activities?

1154
01:45:05,933 --> 01:45:15,760
You can speak to different as we look at those dedicated engagement efforts who've nights is great write-up just tomorrow hills last night for the adult basketball.

1155
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:15,760
Right.

1156
01:45:15,143 --> 01:45:17,779
But there's also a whole group out there want to make sure reach them as well.

1157
01:45:17,779 --> 01:45:22,650
So we're going different options as we work with our partners do that.

1158
01:45:22,650 --> 01:45:25,920
your question moment.

1159
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:35,596
So high all communicating that to the public as I know some conversations with some of the folks in parks earlier in the year about some other things you do such as art and those types things.

1160
01:45:35,596 --> 01:45:40,301
But I don't think very many people know that is what you're doing and want to hear parks and recs.

1161
01:45:40,301 --> 01:45:43,370
They automatically assume that it's athletic program and that's happening.

1162
01:45:43,271 --> 01:45:50,211
So how are you communicating that to the community that there are other options?

1163
01:45:50,211 --> 01:45:54,150
Some taking to get back to patients saying going to say things to step on your toes.

1164
01:45:54,150 --> 01:45:57,385
It's probably one of the biggest things we here we're not telling the story.

1165
01:45:57,385 --> 01:45:58,386
Well enough.

1166
01:45:58,386 --> 01:46:00,254
One of the paces and we've already talked with Robbins.

1167
01:46:00,254 --> 01:46:03,224
How are we communicating?

1168
01:46:03,224 --> 01:46:03,891
I had to bring 2 people.

1169
01:46:03,891 --> 01:46:05,260
Might Facebook in the Leisure ledger.

1170
01:46:05,260 --> 01:46:08,997
Still things right for youth or not?

1171
01:46:08,997 --> 01:46:11,165
And so how are we getting that communication that we've got to get more dynamic?

1172
01:46:11,165 --> 01:46:15,360
To be perfectly honest with you and make sure we're reaching them or they can.

1173
01:46:15,269 --> 01:46:16,738
And what I'm really thankful wars.

1174
01:46:16,738 --> 01:46:18,539
We started these conversations.

1175
01:46:18,539 --> 01:46:19,340
Robbins like we can look at these.

1176
01:46:19,340 --> 01:46:25,513
There's different ways to reach a target audience than some of our tried and true methods because obviously not to tried and true.

1177
01:46:25,513 --> 01:46:26,800
hitting some of those groups.

1178
01:46:26,147 --> 01:46:34,155
We can do better to be honest with I want to go airport him, but I also want a process check.

1179
01:46:34,155 --> 01:46:38,920
I know we've got like a five-hour meeting starting at one.

1180
01:46:38,359 --> 01:46:48,136
None of us have And I just want to make sure that I'm not putting council under a very distressing situations where no one's had time to have a break.

1181
01:46:48,136 --> 01:46:51,673
what what are the rules do we need to move on to the next question of students?

1182
01:46:51,673 --> 01:46:53,808
Mayor Pro Tem.

1183
01:46:53,808 --> 01:46:55,760
To give the curfew some time.

1184
01:46:55,143 --> 01:47:00,480
And then what time do we need to break in order to start another meeting at 1 o'clock?

1185
01:47:00,480 --> 01:47:01,916
Is there to meet up?

1186
01:47:01,916 --> 01:47:04,385
I believe.

1187
01:47:04,385 --> 01:47:09,624
Rt needs 15 minute between to start another meeting.

1188
01:47:09,624 --> 01:47:14,950
So and then I just want to be somewhat humane towards the counselors here and not force it into a situation.

1189
01:47:14,896 --> 01:47:27,800
time will if we wrap up with the comments on this one will go right into ordinance and talk about that a little bit and if need be, we can kind of carry over after the 1 o'clock.

1190
01:47:27,750 --> 01:47:36,546
If you all aren't satisfied with that and move it to another space on the agenda, we do have that flexibility.

1191
01:47:36,751 --> 01:47:40,880
Yeah, make my question is brief and you can even get back to be later.

1192
01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:40,880
It's no problem.

1193
01:47:40,321 --> 01:47:50,965
I was just curious to learn about that teens against violence conversation that occurred in June just to learn what the young people said about the solutions that they see.

1194
01:47:50,965 --> 01:48:01,709
And so maybe that can just be shared with us in some way after this meeting and then also just curious, what is the latest?

1195
01:48:01,709 --> 01:48:13,210
Our for our community centers to be open for the parks has that been a conversation about having later hours, perhaps typical commute center operations we close at 9 Monday through Friday.

1196
01:48:13,210 --> 01:48:19,930
Saturday's 93 Sundays, one to 6 those those are typical operating hours, obviously have something open earlier that offer before school.

1197
01:48:19,594 --> 01:48:28,769
The state programs.

1198
01:48:28,769 --> 01:48:31,380
Everybody for all of that information.

1199
01:48:31,380 --> 01:48:37,775
Let's move on to the curfew and we have Karen McDonald, the city attorney's office.

1200
01:48:38,779 --> 01:48:49,857
Good afternoon Council June July, 7th meeting the City Council directed the city attorneys office to draft the youth protection in curfew ordinance for council's consideration.

1201
01:48:49,857 --> 01:49:01,200
So today we will explain why the proposal is being considered and its purpose, the chief or review the juvenile crime.

1202
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:04,605
Trends in the event said July 4th and 5th.

1203
01:49:04,605 --> 01:49:11,946
I'll then walk through what the proposed ordinance would actually do, including who it applies to the restricted hours.

1204
01:49:11,946 --> 01:49:22,490
And importantly, the exceptions conclude by explaining how the ordinance would be enforced and the potential penalties next slide.

1205
01:49:22,490 --> 01:49:27,357
And so the proposed excellent.

1206
01:49:28,663 --> 01:49:35,803
The proposed ordinance is intended to protect juveniles from victimization and exposure to criminal activity.

1207
01:49:35,803 --> 01:49:42,106
It also seeks to promote a safer environment for juveniles and adults.

1208
01:49:42,276 --> 01:49:49,923
By limiting unsupervised juvenile presidents in public places during the late night hours covered by the ordinance.

1209
01:49:49,923 --> 01:49:56,960
And finally, it reinforces the role of parents by emphasizing reasonable parental supervision.

1210
01:49:56,960 --> 01:49:59,229
Next slide.

1211
01:50:00,734 --> 01:50:08,709
With that in mind, I will turn it over to Chief Boyce to talk about juvenile crime trends in the events of July 4th and 5th.

1212
01:50:08,709 --> 01:50:10,344
And with that, I think he'll move his Yeah.

1213
01:50:10,344 --> 01:50:13,914
So well.

1214
01:50:13,914 --> 01:50:16,750
Good afternoon, Madam Mayor Council Chief Boys, Raleigh Police Department.

1215
01:50:16,750 --> 01:50:17,984
Good seeing you again.

1216
01:50:17,984 --> 01:50:22,550
Why consider an ordinance?

1217
01:50:22,550 --> 01:50:23,256
start office and Raleigh Police Department.

1218
01:50:23,256 --> 01:50:30,831
We are an intelligent lead and data driven department guides our decision-making and how we continue to keep this community safe.

1219
01:50:30,831 --> 01:50:40,207
It's important that we have data to justify why we do what we do.

1220
01:50:40,207 --> 01:50:43,643
In regards to juveniles and a conversation that we have in here today.

1221
01:50:43,643 --> 01:51:00,694
If you look at the slide here, you see in 2025 that we had 121 cases where a juvenile under age 18 was a suspect where we arrested or charged on juvenile petition.

1222
01:51:00,694 --> 01:51:03,330
We charge to secure custody order into custody Juba.

1223
01:51:03,330 --> 01:51:08,268
Now that is for the entire year 2025.

1224
01:51:08,268 --> 01:51:10,103
you look at the column to the right.

1225
01:51:10,103 --> 01:51:20,447
194 incidents that is just from January one to pretty much about couple of days ago when we collected this data, you can see that we're already at 194.

1226
01:51:20,447 --> 01:51:28,422
Cases throughout this year where juveniles are listed as a suspect.

1227
01:51:28,422 --> 01:51:35,962
The increased they're not percent increase, obviously training in an area or in a direction that is not good and is very concerning to us here.

1228
01:51:35,962 --> 01:51:39,266
Raleigh Police Department.

1229
01:51:39,266 --> 01:51:43,704
The drill down the numbers a little bit more from at 100 in 94.

1230
01:51:43,704 --> 01:51:46,707
121 in 194.

1231
01:51:46,707 --> 01:51:59,519
You look at the first category of assaults in aggravated assaults were talking about shootings or stabbings or incidents where an injury, a severe injury was calls as a result of an assault in 2025.

1232
01:51:59,519 --> 01:52:10,227
You see there with 30 here, year-to-date 50, we're already seeing an increase and we still have 4 months left of 2026.

1233
01:52:10,964 --> 01:52:11,832
Person shot.

1234
01:52:11,832 --> 01:52:16,370
These are once again juveniles who are listed as a suspect.

1235
01:52:16,370 --> 01:52:16,870
Entire year 2025.

1236
01:52:16,870 --> 01:52:19,172
There 7.

1237
01:52:19,172 --> 01:52:21,808
2026 were already at 12.

1238
01:52:21,808 --> 01:52:25,979
And that trend is going up as well.

1239
01:52:25,979 --> 01:52:35,589
Shots fired into a field vehicle or dwelling single digit number in 2025, we're more than double that in 2026.

1240
01:52:35,589 --> 01:52:39,626
with juveniles shooting into cars in resident.

1241
01:52:39,626 --> 01:52:40,927
This category.

1242
01:52:40,927 --> 01:52:41,962
Next, a number of actual rounds.

1243
01:52:41,962 --> 01:52:43,797
These are the actual bullets.

1244
01:52:43,797 --> 01:52:47,901
That were discharged in those.

1245
01:52:47,901 --> 01:52:49,903
That number 5 for 2025.

1246
01:52:49,903 --> 01:52:52,704
And number 12 in 12 2026.

1247
01:52:53,340 --> 01:52:56,760
15 bullets went through a car, went to a house all 2025.

1248
01:52:56,243 --> 01:52:58,780
Involving juveniles.

1249
01:52:58,780 --> 01:53:09,856
Here in 2026, that number is up to 190 bullets went through car some physical structure.

1250
01:53:09,856 --> 01:53:16,163
Just like that, sinking 190 bullets went through a car or a building.

1251
01:53:16,163 --> 01:53:20,901
From the hands of a juvenile.

1252
01:53:20,901 --> 01:53:21,680
Final category.

1253
01:53:21,335 --> 01:53:21,535
All totals.

1254
01:53:21,535 --> 01:53:26,773
You see the Valeant's all in 2025.

1255
01:53:26,773 --> 01:53:36,483
63 total violent incidents involving juveniles who we charged or obtain a secure custody for and here in 2026.

1256
01:53:36,483 --> 01:53:41,621
in all us were already at 83 and we see the increase there.

1257
01:53:41,621 --> 01:53:47,260
We are seeing the trend of violence with our juveniles increase year-over-year.

1258
01:53:47,260 --> 01:53:48,595
And only use 2025.

1259
01:53:48,595 --> 01:53:49,620
Since I was the Chiefs.

1260
01:53:49,429 --> 01:54:00,107
I wanted to make sure I'm using added that that I had some control over as the chief of police here are PD.

1261
01:54:00,107 --> 01:54:01,700
So let's talk about all pretty much.

1262
01:54:01,307 --> 01:54:01,908
What was the catalyst?

1263
01:54:01,908 --> 01:54:04,310
What got us here today?

1264
01:54:04,310 --> 01:54:11,685
I shared numbers in 2025, but it really wasn't highlighted throughout our community.

1265
01:54:11,685 --> 01:54:14,540
What we were experiencing within our PD.

1266
01:54:14,540 --> 01:54:26,320
But when the events of July 4th and July 5th occurred, that really got everybody is tension so much so pretty much throughout the entire nation saw what developed here in our great city.

1267
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:34,674
So that night, July 4th, an early morning July 5th RPD we investigative 6 separate shootings.

1268
01:54:34,674 --> 01:54:39,112
I would well, get to second.

1269
01:54:39,112 --> 01:54:43,160
We have one shooting at Broad Creek just after the fireworks display.

1270
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:48,540
We have 4 shootings along Glenwood South throughout the night in early morning to life.

1271
01:54:48,121 --> 01:54:53,193
If we had one shooting in 100 block of Capital Boulevard.

1272
01:54:53,193 --> 01:54:59,990
For these investigations have been cleared by Bres We still have to remain an active investigations.

1273
01:54:59,990 --> 01:55:10,807
I feel confident in our detectives the day will identify and address those who are responsible for those 2 remaining investigations.

1274
01:55:11,878 --> 01:55:13,790
Also in July, 4th, there was a number of adults.

1275
01:55:13,790 --> 01:55:14,647
And I think we know that number.

1276
01:55:14,647 --> 01:55:24,900
29, other adults that were charged with various crimes, assault, disorderly conduct, other other crimes on that night.

1277
01:55:24,900 --> 01:55:27,594
But the crimes were people were shot were victims.

1278
01:55:27,594 --> 01:55:32,650
We're work, rushed to the hospital majority.

1279
01:55:32,132 --> 01:55:36,536
If not all of those included a juvenile or involved a juvenile.

1280
01:55:36,536 --> 01:55:47,147
You look at the incident starting at Broad Creek, we arrested for and actually today we have arrested a 5th with help with the United States.

1281
01:55:47,147 --> 01:55:47,447
Marshals.

1282
01:55:47,447 --> 01:55:51,718
They arrested a 5th suspect, a juvenile in New York City.

1283
01:55:51,718 --> 01:55:59,730
So we have a juvenile committing a shooting at Broad Creek, flee the area and was just picked up this morning in New York City.

1284
01:55:59,730 --> 01:56:01,965
The arrest that we made.

1285
01:56:01,965 --> 01:56:04,935
Down on Glenwood South.

1286
01:56:04,935 --> 01:56:07,710
The victims are juveniles you now.

1287
01:56:07,137 --> 01:56:09,273
What do those cases?

1288
01:56:09,273 --> 01:56:13,770
The first shooting that occurred?

1289
01:56:13,377 --> 01:56:15,646
Don't in with south of 600 block of Glenwood.

1290
01:56:15,646 --> 01:56:17,815
Both victims were juveniles.

1291
01:56:17,815 --> 01:56:22,953
The suspect is a juvenile.

1292
01:56:22,953 --> 01:56:24,388
Shooting that took a street is a young adult.

1293
01:56:24,388 --> 01:56:24,888
He's 18 years old.

1294
01:56:24,888 --> 01:56:27,257
So not a juvenile.

1295
01:56:27,257 --> 01:56:33,630
That is also one of our remaining cases that has not solved yet.

1296
01:56:33,630 --> 01:56:36,660
The 3rd shooting, 14 Glenwood Avenue.

1297
01:56:36,133 --> 01:56:42,239
The suspect juvenile the victim, a juvenile.

1298
01:56:42,239 --> 01:56:45,642
The for shooting on West Street, West Johnson Street.

1299
01:56:45,642 --> 01:56:47,711
That is also the second case that is unsolved.

1300
01:56:47,711 --> 01:56:50,214
Those 2 victims are adults.

1301
01:56:50,214 --> 01:56:54,351
We have not made an arrest in that case.

1302
01:56:54,351 --> 01:56:56,787
Finally, the shooting in 100 block of Capital Boulevard.

1303
01:56:56,787 --> 01:57:06,797
The suspect in that case, 18 year-old on the skinny, 17 year-old female arrested in Goldsboro with the help Goldsboro PD.

1304
01:57:06,797 --> 01:57:16,273
So you can see the violence on July 4th in July, 5th, where people were shot, majority of those cases involved.

1305
01:57:16,273 --> 01:57:34,287
Juveniles showed you numbers showed you data of the trend with the amount of cases that we are seeing here in the city of Raleigh now show showed you how how many are connected to individuals who are under the age of 18.

1306
01:57:34,692 --> 01:57:41,310
He acts like why a curfew be the first to say a curfew is not a fix to what I just showed.

1307
01:57:41,310 --> 01:57:41,765
You.

1308
01:57:41,765 --> 01:57:47,171
It is a tool that will allow the Raleigh Police Department to continue to keep this city safe.

1309
01:57:47,171 --> 01:57:51,475
Some people probably say, well, all those crimes didn't happen at nighttime chief.

1310
01:57:51,475 --> 01:57:54,440
I get it.

1311
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:54,440
You're right.

1312
01:57:54,211 --> 01:57:59,216
But the connection with violence, we have been able determine that.

1313
01:57:59,216 --> 01:58:07,458
When we see a lot I get asked a lot of times late chief where these juveniles getting these firearms getting these guns?

1314
01:58:07,458 --> 01:58:09,590
Well, we know we've seen it.

1315
01:58:09,590 --> 01:58:13,430
They have they get these guns from breaking into cars.

1316
01:58:13,430 --> 01:58:13,630
Guess what?

1317
01:58:13,630 --> 01:58:17,334
They break into cars usually late at night.

1318
01:58:17,334 --> 01:58:33,751
And then now to using those guns to commit crimes, which once probably testing comeback for some of those shootings on July 4th and 5th, we might be able to track that back to summer are motor vehicle break-ins as well as death of a gun.

1319
01:58:33,751 --> 01:58:46,960
So being able to put a curfew in place doing a specific hour days week, I believe as a chief will help curb some of the violence that we're seeing here in our city that's be committed by juveniles.

1320
01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:49,500
And overall.

1321
01:58:49,500 --> 01:58:54,705
This community deserve to be safe and there should be some accountability despite what your age is.

1322
01:58:54,705 --> 01:58:57,708
We've We got to secure custody order for as young as 12.

1323
01:58:57,708 --> 01:59:01,845
That 12 year-old.

1324
01:59:01,845 --> 01:59:04,581
As part of incident where a gunshot you know, somebody was shooting.

1325
01:59:04,581 --> 01:59:10,540
We got a whole people responsible for their actions, no matter how old they are.

1326
01:59:10,540 --> 01:59:12,560
So that's what I have right now.

1327
01:59:12,222 --> 01:59:16,360
Turn it back over to city manager City attorney additional details.

1328
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:19,229
Thank you.

1329
01:59:19,229 --> 01:59:19,663
Chief.

1330
01:59:19,663 --> 01:59:22,566
So will look at what the proposed ordinance looks like.

1331
01:59:22,566 --> 01:59:27,671
And so.

1332
01:59:27,671 --> 01:59:33,430
Basically the proposed ordinance would be for youth under 18.

1333
01:59:33,430 --> 01:59:38,248
And would run from 11:00PM until 05:00AM every day of the week.

1334
01:59:38,248 --> 01:59:41,918
During those hours.

1335
01:59:41,918 --> 01:59:49,693
During those hours, juvenile generally could not remain in a public place or establishment and less an exception applies.

1336
01:59:49,693 --> 02:00:00,470
The ordinance defines a juvenile as a person under 18 who is not married serving in the United States, armed forces or emancipated.

1337
02:00:00,470 --> 02:00:04,341
Next time.

1338
02:00:04,341 --> 02:00:18,155
So this slide shows a comparison of some of our peer cities and you'll see that they also have curfews and again, as it relates to the proposed rally ordinance.

1339
02:00:18,155 --> 02:00:23,460
be under 18, 11:00PM to 05:00AM.

1340
02:00:23,460 --> 02:00:24,995
So let's talk about some of the exceptions.

1341
02:00:24,995 --> 02:00:27,998
Next slide.

1342
02:00:27,998 --> 02:00:31,401
So most of our peer cities.

1343
02:00:31,401 --> 02:00:34,538
Have the following exceptions.

1344
02:00:34,538 --> 02:00:42,546
The juvenile a would not violate the ordinance when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

1345
02:00:42,546 --> 02:00:45,782
Or otherwise.

1346
02:00:45,782 --> 02:00:46,149
Authorized adult.

1347
02:00:46,149 --> 02:00:49,553
21 and older.

1348
02:00:49,553 --> 02:00:52,522
When engaged lawful employment.

1349
02:00:52,522 --> 02:00:56,893
Traveling directly to or from work.

1350
02:00:56,893 --> 02:01:01,194
When responding to an emergency.

1351
02:01:02,632 --> 02:01:07,904
When attending are traveling directly to or from a qualifying school religious recreational.

1352
02:01:07,904 --> 02:01:11,638
Civic or governmental activity.

1353
02:01:12,576 --> 02:01:15,779
The ordinance also protects First Amendment activity.

1354
02:01:15,779 --> 02:01:22,786
And as previously stated, our now we'll go to the next slide.

1355
02:01:22,786 --> 02:01:23,787
But it's First Amendment activity.

1356
02:01:23,787 --> 02:01:23,987
What is that?

1357
02:01:23,987 --> 02:01:29,259
So if you are protesting, okay.

1358
02:01:29,259 --> 02:01:34,297
So then if you're married or emancipated next slide.

1359
02:01:34,297 --> 02:01:42,939
Then we also in addition to those exceptions that are Pearson's, have we would propose except these exceptions as well.

1360
02:01:42,939 --> 02:01:47,611
So a private event, if you're out for a private event or errant.

1361
02:01:47,611 --> 02:01:51,848
If you're a college or university student.

1362
02:01:51,848 --> 02:01:53,417
Again, hours with except the U.S.

1363
02:01:53,417 --> 02:01:56,253
armed forces.

1364
02:01:56,253 --> 02:02:04,940
And we also think and although not missed it here, we also think and would recommend an exception for a public event.

1365
02:02:04,940 --> 02:02:15,400
So that would encompass the state fair perform at such as a concert, a sporting event such as when the Hurricanes end up going into overtime couple of times.

1366
02:02:15,400 --> 02:02:18,544
And sometimes those games in late.

1367
02:02:18,544 --> 02:02:22,470
So we would propose to adding additional exception to cover those as well.

1368
02:02:22,470 --> 02:02:25,981
Next slide.

1369
02:02:27,860 --> 02:02:31,990
So then what does enforcement looked like?

1370
02:02:31,990 --> 02:02:40,132
And so inforcement is not automatic is simply because an officer encounters a young person after 11:00PM.

1371
02:02:40,132 --> 02:02:41,100
Before taking an enforcement action.

1372
02:02:41,100 --> 02:02:43,402
The ordinance requires the officer.

1373
02:02:43,402 --> 02:02:47,720
To verify the juvenile's age.

1374
02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:51,577
And asked the reason the juvenile is in the public.

1375
02:02:51,577 --> 02:02:55,948
So to determine if an exceptional place.

1376
02:02:55,948 --> 02:03:01,453
An officer may not prepare a juvenile petition or issue a citation.

1377
02:03:01,453 --> 02:03:02,870
Unless there's probable cause to believe in.

1378
02:03:02,321 --> 02:03:08,994
If it's a Kurd and no accent, exit.

1379
02:03:08,994 --> 02:03:12,398
Inception or applicable offense is present.

1380
02:03:12,398 --> 02:03:15,834
So essentially what you see there, you have an encounter.

1381
02:03:15,834 --> 02:03:18,470
You verify you determine if there's an exception.

1382
02:03:18,470 --> 02:03:21,240
And if there's no exception, then there's enforcement.

1383
02:03:21,240 --> 02:03:24,973
Next slide.

1384
02:03:27,413 --> 02:03:31,517
So they look can be found in violation of the ordinance.

1385
02:03:31,517 --> 02:03:35,354
Certainly a juvenile, if no exception applies.

1386
02:03:35,354 --> 02:03:43,829
A parent or guardian who knowingly allows a juvenile to be out during the restricted times.

1387
02:03:43,829 --> 02:03:48,467
Or if juvenile was found to be out.

1388
02:03:48,467 --> 02:03:50,703
And RPD makes contact says you're a juvenile is out.

1389
02:03:50,703 --> 02:03:57,900
You need to come pick up their child and they refuse to come pick up their child.

1390
02:03:57,900 --> 02:03:58,644
An adult who aids or abets Juba.

1391
02:03:58,644 --> 02:04:01,280
Now.

1392
02:04:01,280 --> 02:04:10,220
And then and the establishment could be in violation if they allow a juvenile to stay.

1393
02:04:10,220 --> 02:04:13,250
It would be a defense to the establishment.

1394
02:04:13,250 --> 02:04:13,580
It's a notified rp.

1395
02:04:13,559 --> 02:04:17,730
The we have these duval's.

1396
02:04:17,730 --> 02:04:21,266
We've told them they need to leave and they refuse to leave.

1397
02:04:21,266 --> 02:04:27,439
But they would have to do that in order to have defense.

1398
02:04:27,439 --> 02:04:29,842
Then if there is a violation, what does that now?

1399
02:04:29,842 --> 02:04:30,420
They should look like.

1400
02:04:30,409 --> 02:04:32,911
For the juvenile.

1401
02:04:32,911 --> 02:04:35,547
It would be a part of the juvenile court process.

1402
02:04:35,547 --> 02:04:37,490
For all others.

1403
02:04:37,483 --> 02:04:40,986
It would be a civil citation.

1404
02:04:40,986 --> 02:04:44,223
Which would be issued as a Class 3 misdemeanor.

1405
02:04:44,223 --> 02:04:46,458
And a fine of no more than $500.

1406
02:04:46,458 --> 02:04:50,996
Next slide.

1407
02:04:50,996 --> 02:04:54,333
So that concludes my presentation of the proposed ordinance.

1408
02:04:54,333 --> 02:04:58,370
The chief UN are available to answer questions.

1409
02:04:58,370 --> 02:04:58,370
Okay.

1410
02:04:58,137 --> 02:05:03,504
Thank you Go for questions.

1411
02:05:04,343 --> 02:05:04,710
Yes.

1412
02:05:04,710 --> 02:05:09,430
Counselor seller.

1413
02:05:09,881 --> 02:05:17,289
Just clarity about we heard a lot about who attended that he coat the teen takeover, which was a catalyst for this to come before us.

1414
02:05:17,289 --> 02:05:26,980
I was very curious because you said that it wasn't a teen takeover was in the impetus.

1415
02:05:26,531 --> 02:05:31,403
It with the trends were saying and juvenile violence.

1416
02:05:31,403 --> 02:05:33,605
We've heard that most of people who attended were adults.

1417
02:05:33,605 --> 02:05:40,212
I don't know if you were able to verify because I just saw some of the images that seem like young people.

1418
02:05:40,212 --> 02:05:42,470
But I know we're going to talk about a teen curfew.

1419
02:05:42,447 --> 02:05:52,257
It has want to make sure that has people talk about what happened on July that saying most of them were adults say that live here.

1420
02:05:52,257 --> 02:05:56,628
As I mentioned earlier, we have 60, 70, 80,000 young people live in our city.

1421
02:05:56,628 --> 02:06:00,565
So can you kind of clarify?

1422
02:06:00,565 --> 02:06:07,720
Do you know the age of all those who attended the teen takeovers, both in Briar Creek, or that's just kind of hearsay.

1423
02:06:07,305 --> 02:06:14,946
We've heard from the community because to me this kind of relevant of the conversation that if they're all adults, we don't need the teen takeover.

1424
02:06:14,946 --> 02:06:24,122
So from your intelligence, can you kind of give what your impression was about who attended those teen takeovers was a teens or was it majority of adults?

1425
02:06:24,122 --> 02:06:27,590
I can give council member said or I can give you an exact number.

1426
02:06:27,590 --> 02:06:34,199
What I can say based on his personal observation with Glenn, which self a significant amount of folks that were down.

1427
02:06:34,199 --> 02:06:36,680
There were in my opinion, young adults.

1428
02:06:36,368 --> 02:06:50,882
But I cannot confirm that I I obviously speak to thousands of all individuals that looked a certain way but let me go back to what you said about.

1429
02:06:50,882 --> 02:06:53,585
decline from 2025.

1430
02:06:53,585 --> 02:07:00,920
Yes, it has been occurring and we did not have any conversations about it until the July 4 July 5th incidents.

1431
02:07:00,359 --> 02:07:06,980
It really highlighted the crime involving juveniles as a chief.

1432
02:07:06,164 --> 02:07:07,899
That was very concerning late.

1433
02:07:07,899 --> 02:07:09,668
We need to have some discussions.

1434
02:07:09,668 --> 02:07:18,400
So what what strategies what initiatives can we put in place to address this trend that we've seen year-over-year?

1435
02:07:19,378 --> 02:07:28,687
curfew was part of that strategy of like if we had one, maybe we could curb some of the violence that we're seeing and some of the criminal activity that we're seeing late at night.

1436
02:07:28,687 --> 02:07:33,258
Majority of the kids in this city, they do what's right.

1437
02:07:33,258 --> 02:07:34,260
They're not involved.

1438
02:07:34,260 --> 02:07:37,295
Have very little interaction with RPD or any law enforcement.

1439
02:07:37,295 --> 02:07:45,804
But there is a segment of our community where these used juveniles, they're committing serious criminal offenses.

1440
02:07:45,804 --> 02:07:51,376
I am looking for strategies are initiative to curb the violence.

1441
02:07:51,376 --> 02:07:53,178
So what's in the teen takeover?

1442
02:07:53,178 --> 02:07:59,217
It was allowed to take a deeper look and exposed the trend in juvenile crime from 2025.

1443
02:07:59,217 --> 02:07:59,317
2026.

1444
02:07:59,317 --> 02:08:02,154
That is correct.

1445
02:08:02,154 --> 02:08:04,890
But also protect them as well.

1446
02:08:04,890 --> 02:08:07,920
We seen that many juvenile shot a one particular night.

1447
02:08:07,459 --> 02:08:13,465
It's time to take some action and do something.

1448
02:08:13,465 --> 02:08:26,299
Other questions or aware of the time to head so So I think depend upon how many other council members would like to speak to this topic.

1449
02:08:26,299 --> 02:08:31,700
We can break for lunch and then bring it back at the top of the 1 o'clock hour or we can put it up under the city.

1450
02:08:31,700 --> 02:08:36,420
Attorneys agenda if you wanted to be later on in the day to finish the discussion.

1451
02:08:36,409 --> 02:08:40,980
But I don't think you're going to be able to finish it and then break for lunch and make it back at 1 o'clock.

1452
02:08:40,980 --> 02:08:42,715
So we have 2 options several questions.

1453
02:08:42,715 --> 02:08:48,870
So I'm happy to tell Those are the 2 options starting it.

1454
02:08:48,870 --> 02:08:50,556
Also starter meeting just 15 minutes later.

1455
02:08:50,556 --> 02:08:52,580
Something like that finish this conversation.

1456
02:08:52,258 --> 02:08:55,610
Now, my opinion, I don't want to rush this conversation.

1457
02:08:55,361 --> 02:08:59,980
I'd rather start at the top of the 1 o'clock meeting or put under the city attorney's report.

1458
02:08:59,165 --> 02:09:11,944
So we don't feel like we've got an arbitrary stop point that I mean, I would do it at the top of the hour just because I know we've got folks that are here interested in came for this particular conversation.

1459
02:09:11,944 --> 02:09:15,114
I don't want them to have to break for 3 hours and then come back.

1460
02:09:15,114 --> 02:09:18,851
Do we want Okay?

1461
02:09:18,851 --> 02:09:19,619
Yeah.

1462
02:09:19,619 --> 02:09:20,787
I guess it's already.

1463
02:09:20,787 --> 02:09:22,655
36 after the hour.

1464
02:09:22,655 --> 02:09:25,258
So maybe we will recess basically 2025 minutes.

1465
02:09:25,258 --> 02:09:34,801
come back at one and instead of the normally scheduled, we will resume this conversation.

1466
02:09:34,801 --> 02:09:43,541
Yes, So apologies to everybody on on the inconvenience on schedule, but we will recess for a few minutes.

1467
02:09:46,412 --> 02:09:48,479
?

1468
02:09:51,384 --> 02:12:08,320
?

1469
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:12,990
A bull.

1470
02:12:15,828 --> 02:12:17,895
?

1471
02:12:20,966 --> 02:14:43,862
?

1472
02:14:43,862 --> 02:14:53,536
A ?

1473
02:14:56,375 --> 02:17:19,384
?

1474
02:17:19,384 --> 02:17:28,991
A ?

1475
02:17:31,896 --> 02:19:18,690
?

1476
02:19:18,203 --> 02:19:27,545
I am going get everybody's attention ?

1477
02:19:27,545 --> 02:19:31,216
can everybody please be quiet?

1478
02:19:31,216 --> 02:19:31,750
Thank you.

1479
02:19:31,750 --> 02:19:32,500
I'm we need to.

1480
02:19:32,250 --> 02:19:40,910
We're going to do things a little bit differently today because we were in the middle of a work session talking about the curfew proposal.

1481
02:19:40,910 --> 02:19:43,161
We didn't we were not able to finish that discussion.

1482
02:19:43,161 --> 02:19:47,650
So what we're going to do is I'm going to gavel close the work session, re gavel.

1483
02:19:47,265 --> 02:19:50,835
And for this meeting, we're going to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

1484
02:19:50,835 --> 02:19:55,774
We're going to recognize our rally, poet laureate.

1485
02:19:55,774 --> 02:20:07,619
And then we are going reconvene on the on the curfew topic and out of order and then we will go into public Apologize for those of you who this is causing inconvenience.

1486
02:20:07,619 --> 02:20:12,123
But at some point, these are big topics and we did not want to shortchange.

1487
02:20:12,123 --> 02:20:24,498
First off, Gatling out of the work session meeting and then can I ask John delivered Milton to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance?

1488
02:20:28,373 --> 02:20:35,347
the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

1489
02:20:35,347 --> 02:20:43,836
One nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

1490
02:20:43,836 --> 02:20:47,173
One more just public announcement because of a late changing.

1491
02:20:47,173 --> 02:21:00,860
We had a lot of people that were very interested in the data center that was originally scheduled for a hearing today that what the petitioner rim, withdrew their petition for that.

1492
02:21:00,586 --> 02:21:04,230
So we will not have a data center.

1493
02:21:04,230 --> 02:21:06,325
On the agenda today.

1494
02:21:06,325 --> 02:21:09,161

It's been a wonderful experience not only go through that, but now be in a position where I can use to rid.

1507
02:22:21,433 --> 02:22:24,236
is exciting for rally to welcome our first poet laureate.

1508
02:22:24,236 --> 02:22:29,274
This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the green and voices that make our city so special.

1509
02:22:29,274 --> 02:22:34,380
There's so much magic in power in what already exists.

1510
02:22:34,380 --> 02:22:47,593
So my goal is to not necessarily wipe the slate clean and start fresh but to be working the species and the people in the communities that have gotten me to this point, some really looking forward to giving back to those people.

1511
02:22:47,593 --> 02:22:52,197

congratulations.

1516
02:23:15,954 --> 02:23:22,561
If you want to say anything since you're a poet, any words to share.

1517
02:23:22,561 --> 02:23:35,908
And I will say I got the great opportunity to work with Lee over at Dix Park where if you want to see his poetry on the wall of the house of many porches is the full And then there are those oak leaves that you saw in the video around the site

1518
02:23:35,908 --> 02:23:44,616
of a point that he wrote specifically for that site when we were building get some play plaza.

1519
02:23:44,616 --> 02:23:47,853
it is great to see that he was chosen as our poet laureate.

1520
02:23:47,853 --> 02:23:54,590

I wrote this is weekend.

1524
02:24:06,138 --> 02:24:09,908
So it's very new, but it's free all and it's for me.

1525
02:24:09,908 --> 02:24:12,311
Thank you all for choosing me to be this individual.

1526
02:24:12,311 --> 02:24:16,211
Let's sing.

1527
02:24:16,415 --> 02:24:27,920
Inaugural, meaning the first a pioneer or trailblazer and explore of the unknown and a companion of uncertainty inaugural.

1528
02:24:27,126 --> 02:24:36,101
As in the purge in Uttar, the founder and the namesake, the soon-to-be ancestor, but also the initial failure.

1529
02:24:36,101 --> 02:24:38,837
The errors of trial and error.

1530
02:24:38,837 --> 02:24:41,640
The one who determines how to improve for the future.

1531
02:24:41,640 --> 02:24:46,578
The first in flight to grace the clouds and also to lose gravity.

1532
02:24:46,578 --> 02:24:50,883
The guinea pig, the test dummy.

1533
02:24:50,883 --> 02:25:03,950
The one whose experience becomes a lesson for those who come after inaugural as in a standard bear a standard to break beyond a believer who moved with faith.

1534
02:25:03,950 --> 02:25:08,734
A postmark sent to know destination an origin point, a home in a settlement.

1535
02:25:08,734 --> 02:25:13,839
A goal always being moved and a container of communal trust.

1536
02:25:13,839 --> 02:25:24,383
The first voice to discover echo the first eco to respond to voice the holder of the PAN and the story hidden in the sheets.

1537
02:25:24,383 --> 02:25:35,494
And as the inaugural, there will be eyes watching waiting, whispering eyes, eyes unaware to their witnessing is a wait is a pressure.

1538
02:25:35,494 --> 02:25:38,697
But he's also a proposition.

1539
02:25:38,697 --> 02:25:41,400
Give me the spotlight and I will give you a show.

1540
02:25:41,400 --> 02:25:45,104
Give me the microphone and I will tell you what I know.

1541
02:25:45,104 --> 02:25:47,600
Give me a dream and I will tell you we should go slow.

1542
02:25:47,406 --> 02:25:53,979
And if you trust me as those who chose me to do than give me the opportunity.

1543
02:25:53,979 --> 02:26:00,190
I'll show you what I can do with space and support.

1544
02:26:00,190 --> 02:26:07,559
Watch this position become a place where all can find a moment of inspiration for the inaugural is the result of tangible imagination.

1545
02:26:07,559 --> 02:26:12,426
Thank you.

1546
02:26:13,232 --> 02:26:15,670
I want thank my parents in the back.

1547
02:26:15,601 --> 02:26:21,140
giant, a beach abingdon.

1548
02:26:21,140 --> 02:26:22,441
Thank you to Southeast Raleigh.

1549
02:26:22,441 --> 02:26:23,676
Thank you to city so Cafe.

1550
02:26:23,676 --> 02:26:28,800
Thank you to Fuquay-varina for also birthing All I think we need a photo.

1551
02:26:28,580 --> 02:26:33,218
So do we want to get up with the?

1552
02:26:33,218 --> 02:26:40,223
But you Harris?

1553
02:26:43,950 --> 02:26:45,162
?

1554
02:26:48,133 --> 02:26:50,200
?

1555
02:27:28,519 --> 02:27:28,719
All right.

1556
02:27:28,719 --> 02:27:43,200
Next to that, we will turn it back to our city attorney and police chief the council who had just received the draft ordinance.

1557
02:27:43,200 --> 02:27:52,276
And we're starting to discuss I can anything that you all want to come back and say before we let council start, I don't conversing okay.

1558
02:27:52,276 --> 02:27:57,314
Councilor Pat and I believe you are next Thank Can see it.

1559
02:27:57,314 --> 02:28:01,520
Thanks for this.

1560
02:28:01,520 --> 02:28:02,119
A couple questions.

1561
02:28:02,119 --> 02:28:16,434
I have you have a slide in there on peer cities in North Carolina that are also doing curfews do we have I'm curious when the than act to these and what results are they reporting?

1562
02:28:16,434 --> 02:28:19,670
Do we have any data on that?

1563
02:28:19,670 --> 02:28:22,707
I'm only familiar with Winston-Salem.

1564
02:28:22,707 --> 02:28:32,550
There's as for fairly new in past couple months and I know they are up for review their of their ordinance test only when it I'm familiar with.

1565
02:28:32,550 --> 02:28:33,840
So in severe reviewed.

1566
02:28:33,184 --> 02:28:36,754
mean, I did like a pilot or 6 months or what and what was the situation?

1567
02:28:36,754 --> 02:28:41,580
It appears that they just had a p****** and they were just going to come back and look at it.

1568
02:28:41,325 --> 02:28:46,664
They want to take stand for an extended period of time.

1569
02:28:46,664 --> 02:28:48,766
And then.

1570
02:28:48,766 --> 02:28:51,836
There's also.

1571
02:28:51,836 --> 02:28:59,443
I what I'm trying to understand is how this curfew adds a new tool to 2 about.

1572
02:28:59,443 --> 02:29:07,985
You showed us a slide that increased incidence of aggravated assault, cetera, year-over-year.

1573
02:29:07,985 --> 02:29:17,561
And but the numbers are higher for These things are already crimes.

1574
02:29:17,561 --> 02:29:20,331
So how would the curfew change?

1575
02:29:20,331 --> 02:29:23,340
Well, what is what we're experiencing here?

1576
02:29:23,340 --> 02:29:27,204
Yes, I gave an example about of.

1577
02:29:27,204 --> 02:29:32,977
The mount of vehicle break-ins that we're having here in the city of Raleigh in a time of day or Tom a night when they are occurring.

1578
02:29:32,977 --> 02:29:36,647
They are occurring late at night.

1579
02:29:36,647 --> 02:29:37,214
We understand that.

1580
02:29:37,214 --> 02:29:42,620
What we what we have seen is that the vehicles have been break and broken into the weapons have been stolen.

1581
02:29:42,620 --> 02:29:45,589
And then those that used in violent crime.

1582
02:29:45,589 --> 02:29:48,920
If we had a curfew in place, don't where this reported.

1583
02:29:48,920 --> 02:29:51,280
Crime has occurred.

1584
02:29:51,280 --> 02:29:53,798
Maybe that is a way to decrease our violent crime.

1585
02:29:53,798 --> 02:30:04,400
We're trying to get kids off the street keep them safe and protected during those late night hours.

1586
02:30:08,279 --> 02:30:14,819
Yeah, I guess I mean, one thing that I had when I see the number of rounds fired, I find myself.

1587
02:30:14,819 --> 02:30:28,799
Less thinking, well get those law banning children into their houses and more that like the presence of on a blanket, just a preponderance of unsecured weapons in our communities is is like the real source of the problem.

1588
02:30:28,799 --> 02:30:34,710
And I just wonder like the kids who are stealing out of car that.

1589
02:30:34,710 --> 02:30:36,173
I mean, what's happening to them today?

1590
02:30:36,173 --> 02:30:39,810
If we've if you police are uncovering kid, you still no weapon out of a car.

1591
02:30:39,810 --> 02:30:43,647
What's going to happen to that kid now in the current circumstances?

1592
02:30:43,647 --> 02:30:43,748
Right?

1593
02:30:43,748 --> 02:30:45,490
we're going to follow juvenile petition.

1594
02:30:45,490 --> 02:30:50,187
We obviously depending on the circumstances of case, you know, act for secure custody.

1595
02:30:50,187 --> 02:30:51,220
So each case is different.

1596
02:30:51,220 --> 02:30:56,600
But that's one of 2 avenues that we would take Tafolla petition or seek secure custody.

1597
02:30:56,494 --> 02:31:02,533
And then in the a curfew in order, how would it be handled differently?

1598
02:31:02,533 --> 02:31:04,568
We will make contact with the parent.

1599
02:31:04,568 --> 02:31:12,376
Have the parent come take Chow and maybe the child is not all eating any later.

1600
02:31:12,376 --> 02:31:23,540
the time that we have interactions with them until keep them safe, as well as keep this community safe and not having someone that's going to commit a crime out on streets late at So is that the contact of the parent?

1601
02:31:23,387 --> 02:31:27,910
That is the primary.

1602
02:31:27,910 --> 02:31:35,229
It has engagement with the officer and that juvenile and trying to prevent behavior from occurring.

1603
02:31:35,299 --> 02:31:36,670
Past my present.

1604
02:31:36,500 --> 02:31:40,100
Yes.

1605
02:31:40,871 --> 02:31:43,374
Council fort have a couple of questions.

1606
02:31:43,374 --> 02:31:45,543
She even look at your peers.

1607
02:31:45,543 --> 02:31:46,777
City comparison.

1608
02:31:46,777 --> 02:31:52,490
How did you settle on 18 under when the other cities and primary?

1609
02:31:52,490 --> 02:31:57,355
But like they're 16 and under for the most part was to Salem's at 17.

1610
02:31:57,355 --> 02:32:01,859
Charlotte 15 come to the age of 18.

1611
02:32:01,859 --> 02:32:03,961
And these are just the largest cities that have a curfew here.

1612
02:32:03,961 --> 02:32:05,960
Just a ton of cullen.

1613
02:32:05,296 --> 02:32:20,111
And that's why we used know I'm saying in terms of how do we come at 18 and under when the other cities are 16 and under 15 and under and with same, the 17 and under easier to enforce when they're already a juvenile under age 18.

1614
02:32:20,111 --> 02:32:36,794
So instead of late, you look at our pre City, Charlotte with 13 to 15 and know that their chief just went before council asking to amend that to just one particular age under the age 18 to make that much more easily enforceable.

1615
02:32:36,794 --> 02:32:46,700
And get to some of the the enforcement you know, policies, how you really going to be able to enforce.

1616
02:32:46,637 --> 02:32:50,941
And then me just clear about where my comments are.

1617
02:32:50,941 --> 02:32:53,544
My questions are coming from.

1618
02:32:53,544 --> 02:33:01,596
One of my concerns is making sure children, particularly black and brown kids and not be in.

1619
02:33:01,596 --> 02:33:08,200
Targeted making sure that equitable treatment with this proposal across the city.

1620
02:33:08,102 --> 02:33:11,973
We're talking about.

1621
02:33:11,973 --> 02:33:12,206
The exceptions.

1622
02:33:12,206 --> 02:33:23,851
I mean, kids coming from or going to the movies, things along those lines like, you know, how how do we know kids are going to be pulled over targeted just because they're leave in the movie theater.

1623
02:33:23,851 --> 02:33:29,557
It, you they got to shows Gnadinger was that I look for one for movie last weekend.

1624
02:33:29,557 --> 02:33:31,359
Kids are working in the theaters and you know, stuff like that.

1625
02:33:31,359 --> 02:33:35,496
So the you know, how how are you going to be able to?

1626
02:33:35,496 --> 02:33:41,350
To do the the enforcement is that's a question that I Yes, this is complaint based.

1627
02:33:41,102 --> 02:33:43,371
This is not just our PD driving around.

1628
02:33:43,371 --> 02:33:45,773
Looking for a kid who they think might be coming to crowned.

1629
02:33:45,773 --> 02:33:51,913
This is an actual crime has been committed or alleged to be committed.

1630
02:33:51,913 --> 02:33:54,248
And then a stop has occurred.

1631
02:33:54,248 --> 02:33:59,220
And then that interaction between the officer and individual occur.

1632
02:33:59,220 --> 02:34:00,880
So complain like an actual violation has occurred.

1633
02:34:00,722 --> 02:34:03,524
A criminal act has been alleged to have occurred.

1634
02:34:03,524 --> 02:34:09,897
And then that puts all of us are in the presence of that individual determinant.

1635
02:34:09,897 --> 02:34:18,940
They are a juvenile determined it their all pasta propose curfew hours and have that conversation about a curfew fall ation as well as what was original violation.

1636
02:34:18,940 --> 02:34:20,908
Was it a traffic offense?

1637
02:34:20,908 --> 02:34:25,513
Was it some other crime that was alleged to have been going on?

1638
02:34:25,513 --> 02:34:26,214
And this is my last question.

1639
02:34:26,214 --> 02:34:33,187
So that kind you kind of dovetail into one of the things I wanted to raise with you as well as the city attorney.

1640
02:34:33,187 --> 02:34:37,992
Is there not a way to look at making something a little bit more tailor made to address the complaints.

1641
02:34:37,992 --> 02:34:48,200
And so if it's particularly area like we did a lot of work you're involved in for years with Glenwood South, trying to come up with policies to make that area.

1642
02:34:48,200 --> 02:34:49,504
Morsi based on noise ordinances.

1643
02:34:49,504 --> 02:34:56,244
And, you know, people being able you know, get food and stuff at certain times and all that.

1644
02:34:56,244 --> 02:34:59,747
To tamp down some of the challenges of the business owners were raising.

1645
02:34:59,747 --> 02:35:14,950
So is there not a way to kind of come up with some policies that specifically you know, counselor Rantzau refer to one of your issues as a particular homeowners association with a pad kids breaking into the clubhouses repeatedly.

1646
02:35:14,950 --> 02:35:18,320
So we know that there's an issue there.

1647
02:35:18,320 --> 02:35:29,844
Is there not a way to kind of streamlined and have a policy geared towards what the issues the complaints are without having such a broad policy for the entire the entire city state.

1648
02:35:29,844 --> 02:35:31,790
Make sure he correct.

1649
02:35:31,790 --> 02:35:38,219
You just want to say look specific areas in the city specific areas where we've got complaints and what the issues are.

1650
02:35:38,219 --> 02:35:50,431
So if it's a homeowners association complaining about people breaking into the clubhouse or if we've got specific business owners complaining about issues on Glenwood South, like can we not come up with policies to address the actual complaints

1651
02:35:50,431 --> 02:35:59,700
and what the issues are without coming up with something that's so incredibly broad and targeting no kids across the entire city.

1652
02:35:59,700 --> 02:36:06,147
I respect that, What I would say is that also if we focus on one particular part of the city and they they do that.

1653
02:36:06,147 --> 02:36:16,570
Then they go to another part of city and then there's no nothing in place at that part of the city we really accomplish anything by just designating certain parts of the city.

1654
02:36:16,357 --> 02:36:20,695
I guess on this is really mean, like just particular.

1655
02:36:20,695 --> 02:36:21,290
You know, areas.

1656
02:36:21,195 --> 02:36:29,604
But I'm just saying like you for the Orton or we recognize in the end, maybe we don't necessarily need a ordinance.

1657
02:36:29,604 --> 02:36:35,176
But you may just be that if you know, they're no more issues happen on Glenwood South.

1658
02:36:35,176 --> 02:36:38,546
I mean, what are some of the things we need to put into Glenwood South?

1659
02:36:38,546 --> 02:36:47,955
If you know that there's particular community where homeowners associations are complaining that people breaking or you got like a rash of break-ins of cars and things along those lines.

1660
02:36:47,955 --> 02:36:57,965
Can just not put more patrols to more targeted investigation enforcement in that particular area and then had the flexibility so things start popping up in other parts of town.

1661
02:36:57,965 --> 02:36:59,967
You can respond to it that way.

1662
02:36:59,967 --> 02:37:15,350
But not necessarily having a ordinance for the entire city are targeting, you know, large groups of kids again, maybe leaving Canes Games are leaving the movie theater, leaving jobs athletic activities or whatever it is that are doing.

1663
02:37:15,350 --> 02:37:25,590
I think that's just my my concern that kids in certain communities could be targeted for just doing normal teenage activities.

1664
02:37:25,590 --> 02:37:33,670
If we implement, you know, a along these lines.

1665
02:37:33,670 --> 02:37:34,680
we definitely can look at that.

1666
02:37:34,435 --> 02:37:47,480
And you know what involves what is involved in that is just hearing from the community he in from the youth giving us that perspective of what they feel, how they feel and how they would like to see if anything put in place to restrict their

1667
02:37:47,215 --> 02:37:49,684
movements throughout the city.

1668
02:37:49,684 --> 02:37:58,159
But I think it's a feedback and listening to our community hope to get an opportunity to weigh in on important topic.

1669
02:37:58,159 --> 02:38:01,195
Council Jensen.

1670
02:38:01,195 --> 02:38:04,132
Thank you for this.

1671
02:38:04,132 --> 02:38:15,372
I want to speak to transparency of information and so, Wayne, if you can put that slide up of the 800, just take.

1672
02:38:15,376 --> 02:38:15,543
Start there.

1673
02:38:15,543 --> 02:38:23,317
So presented this earlier in 2025 with 121 juvenile arrests all year and so far year to date, already 194.

1674
02:38:23,317 --> 02:38:27,155
So those are numbers that are that are tangible.

1675
02:38:27,155 --> 02:38:34,996
How is it possible to get this quarterly update that I know you that has these numbers that its public-facing and is it possible to do that here?

1676
02:38:34,996 --> 02:38:51,780
If I have the community here are ready to have this conversation and we want to keep track just to keep point on how how can we make this a more transparent process so that the public knows the numbers that you're looking at as they're happening.

1677
02:38:51,780 --> 02:38:52,179
Great question.

1678
02:38:52,179 --> 02:39:00,187
Councilmember Jones in your yes, it is an opportunity for us to be transparent in charities numbers with our community in a quarterly report.

1679
02:39:00,187 --> 02:39:04,959
My team is here will make sure that we include that in my quarterly report.

1680
02:39:04,959 --> 02:39:07,461
And where do we go to find that currently?

1681
02:39:07,461 --> 02:39:09,300
Hopefully we can bring it to the table.

1682
02:39:09,196 --> 02:39:14,710
But in lieu of is just on the website, how can residents access your quarterly updates?

1683
02:39:14,710 --> 02:39:16,746
It will be on a website on Web site.

1684
02:39:16,746 --> 02:39:19,215
We can share that obviously with the city rally website as well.

1685
02:39:19,215 --> 02:39:19,315
Okay.

1686
02:39:19,315 --> 02:39:24,530
Thank you so much.

1687
02:39:24,530 --> 02:39:25,287
Stephanie, thank you for that information.

1688
02:39:25,287 --> 02:39:26,880
And this is our first time seeing it.

1689
02:39:26,522 --> 02:39:27,390
So thank you for presenting it to us.

1690
02:39:27,390 --> 02:39:28,891
My question is around.

1691
02:39:28,891 --> 02:39:32,595
Parents.

1692
02:39:32,595 --> 02:39:34,597
I know this is geared towards youth and youth curfew.

1693
02:39:34,597 --> 02:39:39,802
But Wes in place to help.

1694
02:39:39,802 --> 02:39:43,606
Us get support from the parents of the guarding of the youth to make sure they're safe.

1695
02:39:43,606 --> 02:39:46,709
Great question.

1696
02:39:46,709 --> 02:39:47,943
Councilmember branch in this conversation.

1697
02:39:47,943 --> 02:39:50,880
We understand that the curfew long as not to fix.

1698
02:39:50,880 --> 02:39:56,520
It's important that we have feedback from parents from are used from a business community as well.

1699
02:39:56,385 --> 02:39:59,188
And just overall see Raleigh community.

1700
02:39:59,188 --> 02:40:01,230
We need to find those resources for parents there.

1701
02:40:01,230 --> 02:40:04,694
Some parents that are struggling just to make ends meet every day.

1702
02:40:04,694 --> 02:40:13,436
And now you put another potential obstacle as some have said it in place is going to make it that much more difficult.

1703
02:40:13,436 --> 02:40:17,506
But as a city as a community, we still need to identify.

1704
02:40:17,506 --> 02:40:21,444
Resources that can parents be a parent.

1705
02:40:21,444 --> 02:40:25,247
You saw the presentation earlier from Milder City Department partners.

1706
02:40:25,247 --> 02:40:26,482
That's part of that conversation as well.

1707
02:40:26,482 --> 02:40:26,582
Us.

1708
02:40:26,582 --> 02:40:28,250
What are we looking at?

1709
02:40:28,250 --> 02:40:31,220
What can we provide for appearance?

1710
02:40:31,220 --> 02:40:39,128
Don't have an answer for you today, Councilmember branch, but definitely part of conversation to help parents with this with this challenge.

1711
02:40:39,128 --> 02:40:39,195
Okay.

1712
02:40:39,195 --> 02:40:42,598
And as we've seen know, here, police get a chance.

1713
02:40:42,598 --> 02:40:50,206
We're gonna have this posted for so this would be posted for people to look at it again.

1714
02:40:50,206 --> 02:40:53,876
We're not voting on this today, but definitely a chance.

1715
02:40:53,876 --> 02:40:54,410
Please provide feedback.

1716
02:40:54,410 --> 02:40:57,213
I know there's some that will speak during public comment on this as well.

1717
02:40:57,213 --> 02:41:13,729
But I would say for me and counselor for a hit it off I have incidents is where I've said in meetings at so ways where people young people have broking into their clubhouses in places around 1 o'clock.

1718
02:41:13,729 --> 02:41:15,665
2 o'clock in the morning.

1719
02:41:15,665 --> 02:41:18,367
Police have been call.

1720
02:41:18,367 --> 02:41:18,868
We're just no way.

1721
02:41:18,868 --> 02:41:20,936
Can we do to try to haul parent?

1722
02:41:20,936 --> 02:41:25,174
For me, it's all about the home, the parents.

1723
02:41:25,174 --> 02:41:26,642
What can we do?

1724
02:41:26,642 --> 02:41:39,922
What put in place and hopefully also if nothing else, the Fed having this conversation, hope is a wake-up call for people to step up and try to help saw this because I don't feel this is Jess to that only we can saw he's going to take all of

1725
02:41:39,922 --> 02:41:40,823
us.

1726
02:41:40,823 --> 02:41:51,500
definitely a community approach and a community approach is needed to address the crime here in Raleigh when it comes to young offenders.

1727
02:41:51,500 --> 02:41:55,304
I just just to piggyback, can I just get clarity from the city attorney on process here?

1728
02:41:55,304 --> 02:41:58,240
This we've got.

1729
02:41:58,240 --> 02:42:02,978
An ordinance that you've given us this, what we know, where will it be posted?

1730
02:42:02,978 --> 02:42:05,448
How do people know what's in it?

1731
02:42:05,448 --> 02:42:07,850
And then what is the public comment?

1732
02:42:07,850 --> 02:42:09,850
You know, opportunities.

1733
02:42:09,850 --> 02:42:16,726
I know we've got some folks today, but you can just cut out lime how this rolls out from here.

1734
02:42:16,726 --> 02:42:22,231
The ordinance, as I understand it has upload it and is available on the city website.

1735
02:42:22,231 --> 02:42:23,990
It is certainly up to the council.

1736
02:42:23,265 --> 02:42:28,971
But we would suggest.

1737
02:42:28,971 --> 02:42:32,410
This not come back into September.

1738
02:42:32,410 --> 02:42:37,790
The 15 that would create an opportunity for public comment in September.

1739
02:42:37,790 --> 02:42:49,910
You have the night meeting the second Tuesday in September, public comment session as well as you have another public comment session and September.

1740
02:42:49,910 --> 02:42:52,728
We can bring it back on September 15th or we could wait.

1741
02:42:52,728 --> 02:42:53,620
It is.

1742
02:42:53,620 --> 02:42:54,960
It is certainly up to the council.

1743
02:42:54,960 --> 02:42:54,960
Okay.

1744
02:42:54,196 --> 02:42:58,467
Thank you.

1745
02:42:58,467 --> 02:43:03,673
Councilor you go to slide about the other cities.

1746
02:43:03,673 --> 02:43:06,800
As we continue his conversation.

1747
02:43:06,642 --> 02:43:11,681
And this is something Councilmember patented asked if we could just get some feedback to know.

1748
02:43:11,681 --> 02:43:17,987
You said you're familiar with Winston Salem for those that put a curfew in place.

1749
02:43:17,987 --> 02:43:26,529
If we could understand the pros and cons, some of the unintended impacts are consequences would be helpful for us.

1750
02:43:26,529 --> 02:43:27,960
So if there is a curfew, we can fine.

1751
02:43:27,797 --> 02:43:29,565
Tune it.

1752
02:43:29,565 --> 02:43:30,833
So that would be helpful.

1753
02:43:30,833 --> 02:43:34,700
Clearly, the hours are different and the ages different.

1754
02:43:34,437 --> 02:43:35,204
But that would be very helpful.

1755
02:43:35,204 --> 02:43:48,170
Just to know with Sam's a pilot, but some of the others, what has been the implications both positive and negative as a result of the curfew.

1756
02:43:48,170 --> 02:43:57,393
The second point is that you and I spoke before this was introduced and I told you for me, it's very important that we have a balanced approach.

1757
02:43:57,393 --> 02:44:00,363
As you stated, the curfew is not going to solve the problem.

1758
02:44:00,363 --> 02:44:03,265
It is just one tool.

1759
02:44:03,265 --> 02:44:13,575
Any efforts for those that did not see it early with presentation from parks and recreation then all the other partners that help our youth.

1760
02:44:13,575 --> 02:44:15,744
My concern is that I did.

1761
02:44:15,744 --> 02:44:17,120
The numbers tend 19 is 12% of a population.

1762
02:44:17,112 --> 02:44:26,550
That's roughly 60 1000 people between that age, these programs are capturing at best a few 1000.

1763
02:44:26,550 --> 02:44:33,662
And so from my perspective, I was very moved by Mostly is presentation reaching out to the teens about what they're looking for.

1764
02:44:33,662 --> 02:44:35,970
Some don't want program events.

1765
02:44:35,970 --> 02:44:35,970
They want safe spaces.

1766
02:44:35,698 --> 02:44:38,801
They can hang out without adults.

1767
02:44:38,801 --> 02:44:43,972
And so for me, it's very important that we take a good look at that survey because the teams, they want to be hurt.

1768
02:44:43,972 --> 02:44:46,800
They're sharing with us.

1769
02:44:46,408 --> 02:44:56,485
The experience is they want and want to make sure if we have a curfew, we have other programs and we are now listening to create some of those safe spaces.

1770
02:44:56,485 --> 02:45:10,990
I also shared earlier that when I was in New York, we created a yes learning project because we felt in New York City teams with the most targeted population in public wanted to find how we can create more comfort if there were 6 teenagers walking

1771
02:45:10,132 --> 02:45:11,266
on the sidewalk.

1772
02:45:11,266 --> 02:45:13,869
What is our first reaction?

1773
02:45:13,869 --> 02:45:16,710
2 her hand or to shut down and walk the other way.

1774
02:45:16,205 --> 02:45:21,316
So I think all of us collectively, parents, citizens really have to do all of the above.

1775
02:45:21,316 --> 02:45:24,886
I think we have to look at the option of a curfew.

1776
02:45:24,886 --> 02:45:25,821
Look at programming.

1777
02:45:25,821 --> 02:45:28,223
Look at other ways we can hear teens continue.

1778
02:45:28,223 --> 02:45:30,258
These teen summits.

1779
02:45:30,258 --> 02:45:38,667
So I just want to know your reaction to have that balanced approach, that it's not just a curfew to solve these problems.

1780
02:45:38,667 --> 02:45:52,147
There's a broader approach that we the community, the businesses, parents, nonprofits have to collectively pay attention could not have said it better said that's exactly what it is is having those conversations from all those different, they

1781
02:45:52,147 --> 02:45:59,521
say stakeholders in crafting whatever this looks like to keep our community safe to keep our young folks safe.

1782
02:45:59,521 --> 02:46:02,791
It is going to take a community to get us there.

1783
02:46:02,791 --> 02:46:07,663
And obviously partnering with other departments within the city rally, but also throughout this community.

1784
02:46:07,663 --> 02:46:10,332
lot of nonprofits, some of that here.

1785
02:46:10,332 --> 02:46:13,350
Did it go in a maze and work in our community?

1786
02:46:13,350 --> 02:46:15,771
Do we need to look a program what time are we offering?

1787
02:46:15,771 --> 02:46:18,206
Nice these resources?

1788
02:46:18,206 --> 02:46:20,800
Is that something we need to look at?

1789
02:46:20,308 --> 02:46:20,375
Absolutely.

1790
02:46:20,375 --> 02:46:24,713
So it's a conversation that we need to have.

1791
02:46:24,713 --> 02:46:30,218
And I look forward to the feedback that will get today and going forward and what that looks like.

1792
02:46:30,218 --> 02:46:36,425
But I just want you and everyone in this community know that from the police department perspectives all about safety.

1793
02:46:36,425 --> 02:46:41,930
It's not about targeting anyone is about community safety.

1794
02:46:42,970 --> 02:46:58,460
Chief, one question for you that in some of this debate, we have referenced that as mayor, I have the ability to call an emergency curfew and that is in our current city ordinance an I'm certainly withstand willing to do that and obviously will

1795
02:46:58,460 --> 02:47:00,820
work with the chief to to understand if that's necessary.

1796
02:47:00,449 --> 02:47:12,828
But for you what is the advantage of not relying on those emergency unit and having a more permanent curfew.

1797
02:47:12,828 --> 02:47:17,632
What what are the pros and cons for you going this route versus just relying on this emergency tool?

1798
02:47:17,632 --> 02:47:27,442
One of the pros is that if it's already in place and something happens, we're not making phone calls in the middle of an incident where we need to enact a curfew.

1799
02:47:27,442 --> 02:47:28,543
already there.

1800
02:47:28,543 --> 02:47:29,578
We know what the protocol is.

1801
02:47:29,578 --> 02:47:32,581
We can quickly address whatever issue and keep everyone safe.

1802
02:47:32,581 --> 02:47:34,416
lawn.

1803
02:47:34,416 --> 02:47:38,860
If we don't have it in place, something happens.

1804
02:47:38,186 --> 02:47:42,357
We're in the middle less use July 4th.

1805
02:47:42,357 --> 02:47:43,959
I'm making phone calls with you.

1806
02:47:43,959 --> 02:47:45,794
The manager.

1807
02:47:45,794 --> 02:47:49,765
We're having a conversation while we're having a conversation, things are happening.

1808
02:47:49,765 --> 02:47:57,739
Why we're having a conversation, someone might be getting hurt We're just in the middle of it.

1809
02:47:57,739 --> 02:48:00,442
And we're trying to make a decision whether to enact a curfew.

1810
02:48:00,442 --> 02:48:05,470
The biggest piece in this in a situation like that.

1811
02:48:05,313 --> 02:48:05,914
con is communication.

1812
02:48:05,914 --> 02:48:09,840
How quickly, how quickly can we get this message out to our community?

1813
02:48:09,418 --> 02:48:17,125
Who's going to be late paying attention to their phone and one in the morning when you have chaos going on.

1814
02:48:17,125 --> 02:48:25,200
So we're going be behind 8 ball in just a communication gap of notifying our community that there is a curfew, emergency curfew in place.

1815
02:48:25,200 --> 02:48:30,339
quickly can we get that to our media partners to disseminate that too?

1816
02:48:30,339 --> 02:48:34,376
You know, through the So just be behind 8 ball in communicate that to our community.

1817
02:48:34,376 --> 02:48:37,846
Thank you.

1818
02:48:37,846 --> 02:48:40,582
Yes, Thank you so much.

1819
02:48:40,582 --> 02:48:41,283
Chief voice for the presentation.

1820
02:48:41,283 --> 02:48:46,355
I think what I have been really wrestling with her.

1821
02:48:46,355 --> 02:48:48,890
Just the root causes of youth violence.

1822
02:48:48,890 --> 02:48:55,731
And when young people are involved in criminal activity, and I think a lot of us, you know, we know where that comes from.

1823
02:48:55,731 --> 02:48:57,833
You know, it's a lack of opportunity.

1824
02:48:57,833 --> 02:49:01,136
Sometimes it's a lack of structure.

1825
02:49:01,136 --> 02:49:08,176
We don't have in my opinion, state or national leaders that model what we ought to be seen for Raleigh.

1826
02:49:08,176 --> 02:49:14,516
We don't always have the investments in education in mental health and social services that we need.

1827
02:49:14,516 --> 02:49:17,719
We do not have proper gun control.

1828
02:49:17,719 --> 02:49:24,793
And so a lot of these topics they go beyond the city of Raleigh and we need help from real leaders across our country.

1829
02:49:24,793 --> 02:49:33,802
I do want to just note if you are looking for gun locks up and get those at all of our PD district offices.

1830
02:49:33,802 --> 02:49:36,505
So please lock up your weapons.

1831
02:49:36,505 --> 02:49:45,947
You know, I do not want to see more young people with access to guns because all of a sudden a fight just becomes that much more scary, that much more dangerous.

1832
02:49:45,947 --> 02:49:53,254
I'm really looking forward to our youth programming options to increased capacity to those to work with our partners.

1833
02:49:53,254 --> 02:49:57,992
I know I know I felt really hot afternoon with south after Brier Creek on the 4th of July.

1834
02:49:57,992 --> 02:49:59,928
A lot of us did.

1835
02:49:59,928 --> 02:50:03,832
And so I'm looking now to, you know, be a little bit more.

1836
02:50:03,832 --> 02:50:14,900
I want to say, thoughtful and hear from everyone about this curfew idea how this could impact folks and just want to hear from residents on, you know, whether this feels like the right move.

1837
02:50:14,175 --> 02:50:20,111
But we do have time before we would act anything.

1838
02:50:21,349 --> 02:50:22,830
Any other questions on this topic?

1839
02:50:22,150 --> 02:50:24,753
Yes.

1840
02:50:24,753 --> 02:50:25,286
Maybe more feedback.

1841
02:50:25,286 --> 02:50:27,255
But I know here again.

1842
02:50:27,255 --> 02:50:30,358
move on to the next.

1843
02:50:30,358 --> 02:50:38,900
So a couple of things that I've been that I agree right after the events of July 4th, we were all like very troubled and I think feared that that would happen again.

1844
02:50:38,900 --> 02:50:44,172
But I think across the country cities that that experience teen takeovers have not seen recurrence of that.

1845
02:50:44,172 --> 02:50:46,207
And so I also want to be more thoughtful.

1846
02:50:46,207 --> 02:50:58,420
You know, ultimately, this is curtailing of people's rights to move around their city freely and that should be done extreme care and caution and one thing that I'm a little, you know, that I'm ruminating on the line here is that.

1847
02:50:58,420 --> 02:51:09,497
The thought is if we tell all the LA bind children to be at home, then they'll be out of the way of any violence that Kerr from other people who will not by the laws.

1848
02:51:09,497 --> 02:51:12,801
And I I'm not sure that that.

1849
02:51:12,801 --> 02:51:26,810
The approaching want to take to public safety it and think we can then begin I I think about how we would apply that logic to like should women just not be allowed in bars because then they won't get raped or should people just not go to school

1850
02:51:26,810 --> 02:51:30,510
or to concerts because they might get if the inexperience mass violence?

1851
02:51:30,510 --> 02:51:38,731
And I'm not sure that that's kind a line of thinking we want to you to guide our public safety approach.

1852
02:51:38,731 --> 02:51:40,666
Another thing that I'm a little bit challenged by this.

1853
02:51:40,666 --> 02:51:49,875
These exceptions carve out moving from one private space to another, which I fear just rewards, folks with money re.

1854
02:51:49,875 --> 02:51:56,449
If you are a kid who can afford to go to the King's game and you're gonna go for McCain's game straight home.

1855
02:51:56,449 --> 02:52:00,453
Then you're you know, you you qualify for this exception.

1856
02:52:00,453 --> 02:52:08,940
But if you are a person who got only for cookout, milkshake and we'd like have your unstructured time out of your parents.

1857
02:52:08,940 --> 02:52:17,436
I then the year you're not you don't qualify for an exception and say I fear that there's a little bit of a social stratification that we're creating here through these exceptions.

1858
02:52:17,436 --> 02:52:22,742
But the part that I do resonate with is that.

1859
02:52:22,742 --> 02:52:24,310
The parental accountability peace?

1860
02:52:24,310 --> 02:52:25,745
I really do resonate with that.

1861
02:52:25,745 --> 02:52:33,586
The idea that if your kid is going to get up to mischief you're going to have responsibility there and that and with that.

1862
02:52:33,586 --> 02:52:34,987
Maybe there's more we can do.

1863
02:52:34,987 --> 02:52:40,760
And so I guess the feedback I would offer is to explore if there are legal ways.

1864
02:52:40,760 --> 02:52:41,930
To amp up that parental accountability.

1865
02:52:41,927 --> 02:52:48,934
Peace, which I do think is valid without such a sweeping curtailment of people's around their city.

1866
02:52:48,934 --> 02:52:59,845
So are there ways we can update our ordinance if you are breaking into the clubhouse, we are going to take you to your parents come whatever like these other mischief making activities.

1867
02:52:59,845 --> 02:53:02,915
Can we just like?

1868
02:53:02,915 --> 02:53:05,851
Crank up the parental accountability I do want to give you that, too.

1869
02:53:05,851 --> 02:53:11,230
And I do resonate with that as an important piece of the pie.

1870
02:53:11,230 --> 02:53:13,826
Any other comment on this topic.

1871
02:53:13,826 --> 02:53:13,893
Okay.

1872
02:53:13,893 --> 02:53:15,940
And as you heard more to come, but thank you, Chief.

1873
02:53:15,928 --> 02:53:16,262
Thank you.

1874
02:53:16,262 --> 02:53:20,833
City attorney we will move on to other items on our agenda.

1875
02:53:20,833 --> 02:53:24,300
We need to do anything.

1876
02:53:24,300 --> 02:53:31,430
So is the direction that we would bring this back in September or wait until October so that you had to fool public comment.

1877
02:53:31,410 --> 02:53:34,180
Sessions.

1878
02:53:34,180 --> 02:53:37,316
I think we want that to public comment.

1879
02:53:37,316 --> 02:53:39,518
and that's kind my understanding.

1880
02:53:39,518 --> 02:53:40,553
So whatever date that leads us okay.

1881
02:53:40,553 --> 02:53:43,856
So we would.

1882
02:53:43,856 --> 02:53:56,836
I think we can still accomplish sent on the 15 because you have some that can speak today and then you have the dedicated public comment station on September 8th and then on the 15th meeting, there's a public comment opportunity as well.

1883
02:53:56,836 --> 02:53:59,939
And we can put it on the agenda so that it can come after the public comment section.

1884
02:53:59,939 --> 02:54:00,720
Okay.

1885
02:54:00,720 --> 02:54:04,730
Sounds like a plan.

1886
02:54:07,380 --> 02:54:09,715
We have the consent agenda.

1887
02:54:09,715 --> 02:54:12,840
We had no items pulled to my understanding.

1888
02:54:12,118 --> 02:54:14,420
So it is there a motion.

1889
02:54:14,420 --> 02:54:15,540
All in favor of the motion.

1890
02:54:15,540 --> 02:54:16,589
I.

1891
02:54:16,589 --> 02:54:17,560
All opposed nay.

1892
02:54:17,560 --> 02:54:27,833
So that is unanimous we will now move into public comments I have Justin Clifton.

1893
02:54:27,833 --> 02:54:33,773
And this is a one minute per person because we have.

1894
02:54:33,773 --> 02:54:38,806
45 signed upset.

1895
02:54:42,882 --> 02:54:44,500
well, I wasn't nervous to go first.

1896
02:54:44,316 --> 02:54:50,489
But after hearing the poem earlier, I maybe need to re-evaluate good afternoon council members.

1897
02:54:50,489 --> 02:54:58,864
You may have noticed as you walk or drive our city that a legion of cameras have appeared on our roads and streets.

1898
02:54:58,864 --> 02:55:14,446
These automated license plate readers photograph every passing car law where it was and when as well as images of the vehicle into a searchable database driving here today, cameras on us 70, I-45, 40 logged.

1899
02:55:14,446 --> 02:55:21,820
My rent and they do the same to everyone here today and every citizen of Raleigh without good reason.

1900
02:55:21,820 --> 02:55:29,194
Despite their proliferation, to my knowledge, council had never voted on this powerful surveillance technology.

1901
02:55:29,194 --> 02:55:32,998
These devices are in desperate need of oversight.

1902
02:55:32,998 --> 02:55:39,271
Here's an example of what happens without oversight in Morrisville, North Carolina, right down the road and officer logged into Flock.

1903
02:55:39,271 --> 02:55:42,174
31 times to stalk her boyfriend's ex-wife and falsified.

1904
02:55:42,174 --> 02:55:46,178
The reason for 20 not.

1905
02:55:46,178 --> 02:55:52,179
I think that you put it.

1906
02:55:54,520 --> 02:55:57,923
Thank you so much.

1907
02:55:57,923 --> 02:56:04,570
Tatiana Cooper.

1908
02:56:05,597 --> 02:56:08,931
Perfect timing.

1909
02:56:09,340 --> 02:56:10,350
Good afternoon.

1910
02:56:10,135 --> 02:56:11,870
Mayor cow and members of Raleigh City Council.

1911
02:56:11,870 --> 02:56:15,941
I am Tatyana Cooper and I'm here to represent saving adolescent girls everywhere.

1912
02:56:15,941 --> 02:56:17,810
Also known as Sage.

1913
02:56:17,810 --> 02:56:19,345
Sage is a weekly mentorship program.

1914
02:56:19,345 --> 02:56:27,353
We currently serve 30 girls from the ages of 12 to 18 with a current wait list of 386 girls for 3 years.

1915
02:56:27,353 --> 02:56:32,910
We've been a reliable partner with Raleigh parks and recreation, receiving funding and transportation in Kern.

1916
02:56:32,358 --> 02:56:39,398
Recently, the partnership and it due to Raleigh Parks adopting a new co-op model leaving us only the summer to find alternate funding resources.

1917
02:56:39,398 --> 02:56:46,205
This is an unexpected decision for an organization to consistently serves and mentors adolescent girls.

1918
02:56:46,205 --> 02:56:57,490
Today we ask that the city of Raleigh consider grandfathering sage into a 3 to 5 year contract or establish metrics that would allow us to qualify for longer-term funding in light of the recent teen takeovers.

1919
02:56:57,316 --> 02:57:01,884
We are stressing the importance of supporting our teens.

1920
02:57:02,187 --> 02:57:05,570
They provide a safe environment with a 99% retention rate, 0 suspensions.

1921
02:57:05,557 --> 02:57:07,359
And 100% graduation rate.

1922
02:57:07,359 --> 02:57:11,893
We got our growth for both middle.

1923
02:57:18,437 --> 02:57:25,177
Thank Shame.

1924
02:57:25,177 --> 02:57:33,852
Stanley.

1925
02:57:33,852 --> 02:57:37,656
Well, council members.

1926
02:57:37,656 --> 02:57:39,958
My name is Shane Stanley.

1927
02:57:39,958 --> 02:57:42,497
Glenn Wood, South resident, former NC State student and former Raleigh teenager.

1928
02:57:42,497 --> 02:57:46,968
I'm here to challenge the ongoing narrative of simply dismissing this incident as a teen takeover.

1929
02:57:46,968 --> 02:57:53,740
I was on Glenwood South in the 4th of July and I would not describe the agitators as teenagers or rather they were grown adults calling it a teen takeovers, a deflection.

1930
02:57:53,740 --> 02:57:59,380
So you all can slap a curfew on the issue and don't have to address the controversial topic of gun violence in our city.

1931
02:57:59,380 --> 02:58:04,585
The gun violence in Glenwood South has been happening and increasing long before this so-called team takeover event.

1932
02:58:04,585 --> 02:58:08,220
The police chief himself said we were prepared for the crowds.

1933
02:58:08,220 --> 02:58:12,930
What we weren't prepared for was the amount of guns we recovered off people yet.

1934
02:58:12,930 --> 02:58:15,163
We're still supposed to blame the crowds, not the public for Asian of guns for the violence.

1935
02:58:15,163 --> 02:58:18,660
Wral reported 27 adults mostly from out of town were arrested.

1936
02:58:18,599 --> 02:58:23,571
So why are we punishing our city's teenagers implementing a curfew increase?

1937
02:58:23,571 --> 02:58:28,900
His workload on our police force increases citizen interactions with police officers and waste our city resources.

1938
02:58:28,609 --> 02:58:37,820
All not actually addressing the gun violence issue my question to you is what actual measurable policies.

1939
02:58:42,423 --> 02:58:46,900
Thank you.

1940
02:58:46,627 --> 02:58:50,280
Kerry Bennington.

1941
02:58:51,766 --> 02:58:55,470
Kerry here.

1942
02:58:55,470 --> 02:58:58,837
Jane husband.

1943
02:59:12,286 --> 02:59:15,223
can let the speaker come down so that we're not delaying the meeting.

1944
02:59:15,223 --> 02:59:18,523
Thank you.

1945
02:59:23,665 --> 02:59:24,632
You're a part.

1946
02:59:24,632 --> 02:59:32,730
Recreation in Greenway Advisory board, composed of park advocates who are well versed in this area and spent more time on it.

1947
02:59:32,730 --> 02:59:40,648
Then you can imagine they voted 9 to 5 not to recommend to this.

1948
02:59:40,648 --> 02:59:40,715
Council.

1949
02:59:40,715 --> 02:59:45,860
The city's proposed project rounding through an addition forest.

1950
02:59:45,860 --> 02:59:48,322
Why did they do that?

1951
02:59:48,322 --> 02:59:51,225
Because of deception in by U.S.

1952
02:59:51,225 --> 02:59:52,760
Pest City staff and public presentations.

1953
02:59:52,760 --> 02:59:59,233
Even to you deception in bias in public surveys.

1954
02:59:59,233 --> 03:00:04,372
Environmental concerns, including the grass fire elation over Perry and water.

1955
03:00:04,372 --> 03:00:05,473
Quality rules.

1956
03:00:05,473 --> 03:00:12,747
Condemnation of a conservation easement flooding in other public safety concerns.

1957
03:00:12,747 --> 03:00:14,482
High-cost very high costs and poor trail polity.

1958
03:00:14,482 --> 03:00:19,216
Why would you believe?

1959
03:00:19,220 --> 03:00:24,525
The city staff said over your own advisory committee, you select thank you.

1960
03:00:24,525 --> 03:00:38,106
Robert happened.

1961
03:00:38,106 --> 03:00:52,553
Regarding the potential potential condemnation of the long-standing conservation easement and private back yards in Anderson farce better alternatives exist could achieve cost effective Greenway connection using existing public straight writes

1962
03:00:52,553 --> 03:00:55,156
a boy.

1963
03:00:55,156 --> 03:00:57,958
Many miles of street and sidewalk connections.

1964
03:00:57,958 --> 03:00:59,694
Art exists throughout Raleigh screen.

1965
03:00:59,694 --> 03:01:01,929
My system with good alternatives.

1966
03:01:01,929 --> 03:01:04,732
Condemnation is unnecessary.

1967
03:01:04,732 --> 03:01:11,405
It is irresponsible and illogical just been millions more than the entire big branch.

1968
03:01:11,405 --> 03:01:16,143
Bond allocation on a short poor-quality Brown many problems.

1969
03:01:16,143 --> 03:01:26,954
This is especially true when the street and sidewalk connector would adequately serve the vast majority of the Greenway using public one 10th of the cost.

1970
03:01:26,954 --> 03:01:37,561
And if the multi-modal bridges never completed a bad decision creates an embarrassingly expensive seldom used Greenway to nowhere.

1971
03:01:39,300 --> 03:01:46,907
Horace Clemmons.

1972
03:01:46,907 --> 03:01:56,584
Council live then for over the last 3 years, 3, 4, different times to discuss issues with the noise ordinance as it relates to commercial next to residential.

1973
03:01:56,584 --> 03:01:59,420
And I've seen nothing change.

1974
03:01:59,420 --> 03:02:05,326
That would solve the problem specifically of not compliance can spread industries.

1975
03:02:05,326 --> 03:02:06,930
Fran is now going to go.

1976
03:02:06,560 --> 03:02:13,340
24 hour power operation and they will be able to continue to disturb the residents that are adjacent to.

1977
03:02:13,267 --> 03:02:15,736
I was told I would get a chance to review the new ordinance.

1978
03:02:15,736 --> 03:02:17,505
I got a phone call.

1979
03:02:17,505 --> 03:02:19,206
I have not seen it.

1980
03:02:19,206 --> 03:02:22,576
I have not been able to contribute to that.

1981
03:02:22,576 --> 03:02:24,478
I would appreciate that ability.

1982
03:02:24,478 --> 03:02:24,712
Thank you.

1983
03:02:24,712 --> 03:02:28,949
Thank you.

1984
03:02:28,949 --> 03:02:33,283
Jonathan Garland.

1985
03:02:35,890 --> 03:02:37,725
I'm here to present a common occurrence.

1986
03:02:37,725 --> 03:02:38,993
Residents were labeled publicly as being in violation.

1987
03:02:38,993 --> 03:02:49,570
Not because they've broken the rule, but because the enforcement process misunderstood the mathematics needed to determine what about the violation actually was that happened during the recently lifted watering restrictions.

1988
03:02:49,570 --> 03:03:02,416
Drip irrigation was fully unrestricted your residents who only using drip irrigation were singled issued violations anyway, I provide the city with the educational materials showing why the drug flow rates were being misinterpreted.

1989
03:03:02,416 --> 03:03:12,930
Once that information was reviewed, many of those violations were rescinded on July 9th, WRAL reported 46% of irrigation systems were in violation.

1990
03:03:12,930 --> 03:03:17,310
Only 17% of the violations that are actually valid within my customer base.

1991
03:03:17,310 --> 03:03:19,934
That means a true violation rate wasn't.

1992
03:03:19,934 --> 03:03:20,368
46% is publicly announced.

1993
03:03:20,368 --> 03:03:22,703
It was likely closer to 7%.

1994
03:03:22,703 --> 03:03:27,308
A discrepancy that large to be cooked should be corrected publicly as it was announced publicly.

1995
03:03:27,308 --> 03:03:32,246
We must repair trust in the enforcement process by correcting this inforcement process.

1996
03:03:32,246 --> 03:03:32,480
Thank you.

1997
03:03:32,480 --> 03:03:36,951
Thank you.

1998
03:03:36,951 --> 03:03:41,884
Zine the law.

1999
03:03:44,910 --> 03:03:45,960
Good afternoon.

2000
03:03:45,960 --> 03:03:46,270
People are hurting.

2001
03:03:46,227 --> 03:03:47,595
Our city is hurting.

2002
03:03:47,595 --> 03:03:49,797
Trigger warning.

2003
03:03:49,797 --> 03:03:52,900
This weekend a black man was found hanging from a tree in downtown Raleigh.

2004
03:03:52,900 --> 03:03:56,571
Whatever this investigation ultimately finds, the reality is horrible.

2005
03:03:56,571 --> 03:03:57,538
And the response is exposed.

2006
03:03:57,538 --> 03:03:58,506
Something else.

2007
03:03:58,506 --> 03:04:03,511
There is a deep lack of trust between parts of this community and our police department.

2008
03:04:03,511 --> 03:04:07,315
And in this moment we're considering giving that system another reason to police our children.

2009
03:04:07,315 --> 03:04:10,385
The police chief gave a lot of data.

2010
03:04:10,385 --> 03:04:16,691
I'd also like to highlight the statistic that black residents in Raleigh are arrested at a rate 5 times more than white residents.

2011
03:04:16,691 --> 03:04:25,166
If any other city department had this type of racial bias, it would be dismantled also, there's a teen curfew in Fayetteville that is currently failing that the police don't even like.

2012
03:04:25,166 --> 03:04:29,203
How does the curfew may young people safer?

2013
03:04:29,203 --> 03:04:32,140
Does improve their mental health, give them somewhere to go, give them jobs.

2014
03:04:32,140 --> 03:04:36,110
Mentors community know you can't build a city or on adult nightlife.

2015
03:04:36,110 --> 03:04:41,783
Council literally made whole social district around drinking, then give teenagers, know are comparable to gather.

2016
03:04:41,783 --> 03:04:49,180
We don't have any teen districts and then criminalize them for showing up.

2017
03:04:54,295 --> 03:05:03,710
A to it.

2018
03:05:03,710 --> 03:05:06,974
Good afternoon.

2019
03:05:06,974 --> 03:05:07,750
Streamside option.

2020
03:05:07,375 --> 03:05:09,777
One be of the big branch during way.

2021
03:05:09,777 --> 03:05:14,782
Connector Project has become a breach of trust and transparency.

2022
03:05:14,782 --> 03:05:26,194
Property rights, environmental responsibility and fiscal accountability throughout this process, residents have repeatedly had to uncover vital information that should have been provided openly.

2023
03:05:26,194 --> 03:05:31,366
We have watched the city pursue an option that conflicts with its own environmental protections.

2024
03:05:31,366 --> 03:05:43,211
While the projected cost has exploded, what was presented as a project that would fit within a roughly 4.5 million bond allocation is now estimated at nearly 9 Million.

2025
03:05:43,211 --> 03:05:46,800
And that's before the cost of acquiring private property.

2026
03:05:46,214 --> 03:05:48,816
And condemnation.

2027
03:05:48,816 --> 03:05:49,751
Litigation.

2028
03:05:49,751 --> 03:05:55,656
This is not fiscal responsibility, especially when rally is facing continuing budget deficits.

2029
03:05:55,656 --> 03:06:04,320
This council has an obligation to protect taxpayers, respect private property, uphold its own environmental commitments and be honest with that citizens.

2030
03:06:04,265 --> 03:06:12,690
Please do the right Isis Atari.

2031
03:06:14,275 --> 03:06:19,242
Jeremy Gilchrist.

2032
03:06:22,483 --> 03:06:30,910
This past Saturday, the disturbing news of a black man hanging from a tree in downtown Raleigh made its way through our streets and across the nation.

2033
03:06:30,910 --> 03:06:33,828
The implications of this and the obvious connection with the worst chapters of our history are clear.

2034
03:06:33,828 --> 03:06:37,832
Lynchings were not or lynchings were.

2035
03:06:37,832 --> 03:06:50,110
One of many episodes of whites average re in an effort to preserve systemic Pell faced supremacy, they own privilege to soaked in the blood of countless black bodies and these unspeakable acts occurring over the course of hundreds of years.

2036
03:06:50,110 --> 03:06:53,881
It was said that the speculation was harmful.

2037
03:06:53,881 --> 03:07:02,323
But as just another manifestation of deep trauma and a complete lack of trust in all institutions of the shadow of overt fascism in this country.

2038
03:07:02,323 --> 03:07:08,559
Even if it was a suicide, the victim was still a casualty murdered by this horrific system.

2039
03:07:08,796 --> 03:07:18,572
The so-called teen takeover on Glenwood is one more the younger generations feeling large part that there is no real future, more policing and curfews will not change that mindset.

2040
03:07:18,572 --> 03:07:25,279
It only deepen the problem as it inevitably means more police, more arrests in the lives of young people of color.

2041
03:07:25,279 --> 03:07:25,646
Thank you.

2042
03:07:25,646 --> 03:07:29,846
job.

2043
03:07:30,484 --> 03:07:35,556
Itv or rain.

2044
03:07:35,556 --> 03:07:38,759
Good afternoon Council.

2045
03:07:38,759 --> 03:07:44,650
I have been sitting here listening to the council, but I would like to see it.

2046
03:07:44,131 --> 03:07:54,141
In 2007 Southeast Raleigh hit the highest number the murders, which was 15 in 2007 on the quota of the 200 block of top bureau.

2047
03:07:54,141 --> 03:07:58,212
A young was shot and killed.

2048
03:07:58,212 --> 03:08:02,550
He and he ran across to do this at top road and we would dropping flyers.

2049
03:08:02,550 --> 03:08:06,870
He died in my lap.

2050
03:08:06,870 --> 03:08:09,757
He died in and this man was still afraid.

2051
03:08:09,757 --> 03:08:09,990
He declined.

2052
03:08:09,990 --> 03:08:11,250
You know what a toe did.

2053
03:08:11,125 --> 03:08:12,893
It's right.

2054
03:08:12,893 --> 03:08:15,963
It's a right.

2055
03:08:15,963 --> 03:08:19,533
knew he was dying.

2056
03:08:19,533 --> 03:08:21,736
And a lot of people ask me that involve the U.

2057
03:08:21,736 --> 03:08:22,970
I think deep in the sea.

2058
03:08:22,970 --> 03:08:27,141
It's but I got my stuff together.

2059
03:08:27,141 --> 03:08:30,211
I would just like to say the job have been here before.

2060
03:08:30,211 --> 03:08:32,747
Y'all have really been him before.

2061
03:08:32,747 --> 03:08:50,640
It's just y'all in that following the process to to de'von and, you know, get to it.

2062
03:08:50,640 --> 03:08:55,703
thank We're amending it.

2063
03:08:55,703 --> 03:08:55,803
what?

2064
03:08:55,803 --> 03:09:02,143
Thank Icu's.

2065
03:09:02,143 --> 03:09:07,910
In the come.

2066
03:09:17,580 --> 03:09:17,580
Hello Council.

2067
03:09:17,458 --> 03:09:21,950
My name is Emma Hughes and I live on the floor 100 block of South Bloodworth street.

2068
03:09:21,762 --> 03:09:25,990
I'm here today because Raleigh's residential parking permit program is unnecessarily cumbersome.

2069
03:09:25,800 --> 03:09:29,103
One individual residents and especially renters.

2070
03:09:29,103 --> 03:09:32,873
I'm asking the council to take 3 immediate actions.

2071
03:09:32,873 --> 03:09:44,685
One fix the underlying process by reforming the city's residential parking policies and signage to protect residents while parking restrictions are under review by pausing citations in those areas and 3 remove all time limiting parking signage

2072
03:09:44,685 --> 03:09:54,161
and the 400 block of South Bloodworth street which is eligible for the program for renters the barriers to qualify for the part parking program are higher than homeowners.

2073
03:09:54,161 --> 03:09:55,620
Ranchers are responsible for navigating the process.

2074
03:09:55,396 --> 03:09:58,320
But much of the powers to complete.

2075
03:09:58,320 --> 03:10:00,968
It rests with property owners who may not even live in the state.

2076
03:10:00,968 --> 03:10:09,960
And in some cases, tenants are required to obtain notarized affidavits from property owners, including out of state management companies just to participate in the program.

2077
03:10:09,960 --> 03:10:11,980
Renters live in Raleigh, pay taxes here are subject to the same parking restrictions.

2078
03:10:11,965 --> 03:10:14,501
But we have far less power to change them.

2079
03:10:14,501 --> 03:10:19,907
I'm bringing this issue to council because I've personally follow the process.

2080
03:10:19,907 --> 03:10:23,674
Mary Thompson.

2081
03:10:25,212 --> 03:10:29,413
Saint Mary Chris Croom.

2082
03:10:37,591 --> 03:10:37,691
afternoon.

2083
03:10:37,691 --> 03:10:43,964
Thank you for your time and for your and then on our behalf.

2084
03:10:43,964 --> 03:10:45,990
Our neighborhoods are the framework upon which we build community.

2085
03:10:45,833 --> 03:11:00,114
We have to rich and diverse assortment of neighborhoods spread across 96,000 acres and who knows which ones of these will last to add the distinction that the Oakwood's 5 points, the Prince Hall Co Berlin's bring to rally.

2086
03:11:00,114 --> 03:11:14,595
These are important enough to us that to go says we will accommodate and encourage development and existing neighborhoods while reinforcing the established character of the neighborhood and mitigating impacts on the adjacent homes that section

2087
03:11:14,595 --> 03:11:18,699
2002.7 preservation is not about.

2088
03:11:18,699 --> 03:11:19,660
Maybe it's not a and growth.

2089
03:11:19,400 --> 03:11:25,939
It's not fossil is a shunt reservations about the maintenance of the neighborhood framework that allows us to build community.

2090
03:11:25,939 --> 03:11:26,400
Thank you.

2091
03:11:26,140 --> 03:11:29,777
Thank you.

2092
03:11:29,777 --> 03:11:34,444
Re Maia Robinson.

2093
03:11:39,353 --> 03:11:40,320
Good afternoon.

2094
03:11:40,320 --> 03:11:44,124
My name I I'm a youth organizer with Education, Justice Alliance.

2095
03:11:44,124 --> 03:11:54,101
So recently we saw cities across North Carolina and across the United States have been asking for these curfews because of these teen takeovers.

2096
03:11:54,101 --> 03:11:54,568
Right?

2097
03:11:54,568 --> 03:12:06,460
And I put in quotes teen takeovers because the news and observer reported 29 of those arrests were 18 and Across 12 quantitative studies done by the Campbell Institute.

2098
03:12:06,460 --> 03:12:09,549
Curfews have no meaningful impact impact on juvenile offending.

2099
03:12:09,549 --> 03:12:18,250
The data shows that instead of creating safety, curfews, increase the surveillance and criminalization of young people, especially black youth, simply for being present in public spaces.

2100
03:12:18,250 --> 03:12:19,960
I work with teenagers.

2101
03:12:19,960 --> 03:12:24,970
I've asked them where they hang out nowhere because they can't.

2102
03:12:24,970 --> 03:12:24,970
They can't go to the mall.

2103
03:12:24,865 --> 03:12:28,101
They can't go to the movies.

2104
03:12:28,101 --> 03:12:32,305
There are curfews are already in place in all the areas that when I was a kid, I hung out it.

2105
03:12:32,305 --> 03:12:40,547
So if we want them to be able to show up in the spaces, we have to ask them where they want to do what they need.

2106
03:12:40,547 --> 03:12:43,950
Thank you.

2107
03:12:43,950 --> 03:12:50,840
Karen Brown.

2108
03:12:58,198 --> 03:12:58,632
Good afternoon.

2109
03:12:58,632 --> 03:13:00,670
My name is Karen Brown.

2110
03:13:00,133 --> 03:13:02,703
I'm asking you to deny Z.

2111
03:13:02,703 --> 03:13:02,769
43.

2112
03:13:02,769 --> 03:13:03,437
25.

2113
03:13:03,437 --> 03:13:16,116
When our case was heard by the Planning Commission last week, Commissioner Neptune thoughtfully walk-through rallies, Raleigh's comprehensive plan applied directly to our neighborhood considering infrastructure community character surrounding

2114
03:13:16,116 --> 03:13:18,652
densities streets and safety.

2115
03:13:18,652 --> 03:13:22,489
Commissioner Shelburne acknowledged that his analysis was incredibly thoughtful and well-researched.

2116
03:13:22,489 --> 03:13:29,296
Yet his vote relied why he called general observations about Raleigh's need for housing and continued growth.

2117
03:13:29,296 --> 03:13:36,203
A general philosophy about growth should not outweigh a site specific analysis based on Raleigh's own adopted policies.

2118
03:13:36,203 --> 03:13:40,741
And appointed commissioners, personal beliefs should never override the policies.

2119
03:13:40,741 --> 03:13:43,910
They're appointed to apply.

2120
03:13:43,910 --> 03:13:48,749
You appoint these commissioners and residents need to trust that these appointments will uphold the planning framework.

2121
03:13:48,749 --> 03:13:49,449
You adopted otherwise.

2122
03:13:49,449 --> 03:13:52,719
What's the point of the comprehensive plan?

2123
03:13:52,719 --> 03:13:52,986
Raleigh will grow?

2124
03:13:52,986 --> 03:13:56,423
The responsibility is deciding where that growth belongs.

2125
03:13:56,423 --> 03:14:03,910
So the question before you is simple, does this level of growth along here?

2126
03:14:03,130 --> 03:14:06,463
Pace, Brown.

2127
03:14:13,240 --> 03:14:13,273
Hello.

2128
03:14:13,273 --> 03:14:13,907
My name is pace Brown.

2129
03:14:13,907 --> 03:14:16,476
I'm asking you to please an icy.

2130
03:14:16,476 --> 03:14:16,543
43.

2131
03:14:16,543 --> 03:14:17,511
25.

2132
03:14:17,511 --> 03:14:19,460
I'm a competitive mountain bike racer.

2133
03:14:19,460 --> 03:14:20,180
So I'm very comfortable on a bike.

2134
03:14:20,180 --> 03:14:24,510
But during many parts of the day, I don't even feel comfortable riding out of my own driveway.

2135
03:14:24,117 --> 03:14:26,186
Now its my street.

2136
03:14:26,186 --> 03:14:32,859
I have to have my parents load my bike onto a car and jack me somewhere safe.

2137
03:14:32,859 --> 03:14:39,800
Isn't it strange that I feel more comfortable riding on difficult on safe terrain with 100 other kids than on my own street.

2138
03:14:39,800 --> 03:14:43,603
This isn't just about riding my bike.

2139
03:14:43,603 --> 03:14:47,441
I'm out on a tram exploring more and I should be getting more independence.

2140
03:14:47,441 --> 03:14:50,210
It's hard to have independence when you can't get to where he should be.

2141
03:14:50,210 --> 03:14:55,215
Want to be else have 2 younger brothers as they get older.

2142
03:14:55,215 --> 03:14:57,217
I want this road to be safe for them as well.

2143
03:14:57,217 --> 03:14:59,186
More traffic looks like numbers on paper.

2144
03:14:59,186 --> 03:15:03,900
But for the people that live there, numbers don't really matters much.

2145
03:15:03,423 --> 03:15:07,940
Please think about the kids who lived here before adding more traffic police and I z.

2146
03:15:07,294 --> 03:15:07,995
43, 25, thank you.

2147
03:15:07,995 --> 03:15:12,990
Thank you.

2148
03:15:12,990 --> 03:15:15,799
Philip Brown.

2149
03:15:23,143 --> 03:15:25,780
That's my boy.

2150
03:15:25,412 --> 03:15:26,130
Respectfully, correct.

2151
03:15:26,130 --> 03:15:27,447
Several points razor in the Planning commission's discussions.

2152
03:15:27,447 --> 03:15:34,540
The 43 25 First Commissioner Bear reference approximately 32 has to get the potentially developed on the property.

2153
03:15:34,287 --> 03:15:34,855
current zoning.

2154
03:15:34,855 --> 03:15:37,900
And we've never argue that only 12 homes can legally be built.

2155
03:15:37,591 --> 03:15:46,733
We argued simply that 12 homes represents a responsible scale of development for the infrastructure that actually exists today and ultimately the appropriate transportation authority, not the neighbors.

2156
03:15:46,733 --> 03:15:48,468
We'll determine what access is permitted.

2157
03:15:48,468 --> 03:16:00,747
But the larger issue, the previous planning Commission study this case extensively in recommended now 8 to one and after the commission's membership change and some members were recused, denial still prevail.

2158
03:16:00,747 --> 03:16:04,951
4 to 3, we lost only one vote.

2159
03:16:04,951 --> 03:16:07,387
What change dot the road, not them structure, not the comp plan.

2160
03:16:07,387 --> 03:16:13,740
The commission changed new members without the same months of history were asked to suddenly decide the fate of an existing case.

2161
03:16:13,141 --> 03:16:15,276
And that exposes a fundamental flaw in this process.

2162
03:16:15,276 --> 03:16:19,814
Cases of this consequential deserve continuity.

2163
03:16:19,814 --> 03:16:22,750
Commissioners deciding them should have the same death of information.

2164
03:16:22,750 --> 03:16:23,317
Not simply in here.

2165
03:16:23,317 --> 03:16:27,586
The final chapter cast a vote.

2166
03:16:28,589 --> 03:16:28,890
?

2167
03:16:28,890 --> 03:16:31,230
Chris, a green.

2168
03:16:39,367 --> 03:16:42,136
I am a green them here in opposition to see.

2169
03:16:42,136 --> 03:16:42,203
43.

2170
03:16:42,203 --> 03:16:45,406
25, I want to talk about the city QR code.

2171
03:16:45,406 --> 03:16:46,407
Notice signs today.

2172
03:16:46,407 --> 03:16:51,312
The people guaranteed to receive notice are primarily those who are on a tax record.

2173
03:16:51,312 --> 03:17:00,540
But families who rent to people in multi-tenant buildings and others will feel the impacts of development may never receive a letter.

2174
03:17:00,540 --> 03:17:12,867
Instead, they may be expected to see a sign scan a QR code navigate a Web site, recognize a street number versus their neighborhood by its historical name and hope that the dates are accurate that isn't meaningful, noticed.

2175
03:17:12,867 --> 03:17:16,700
It's a technicality.

2176
03:17:16,700 --> 03:17:16,700
Frazee.

2177
03:17:16,637 --> 03:17:23,770
43 2500's of tenants were not directly notified and the required signs were not posted for the meeting that had taken place.

2178
03:17:23,144 --> 03:17:29,784
This is not a harmless error when people don't know a decision is being made, they cannot participate in the decision.

2179
03:17:29,784 --> 03:17:36,357
So I asked council who bears responsibility for making sure the public isn't actually and 4.

2180
03:17:36,357 --> 03:17:39,593
Every person deserves equal access to the same information about meetings.

2181
03:17:39,593 --> 03:17:42,797
Thank you.

2182
03:17:42,797 --> 03:17:46,801
Ashley Heath Armstrong.

2183
03:17:46,801 --> 03:17:48,336
First, thank you for getting my name, correct.

2184
03:17:48,336 --> 03:17:56,711
That means a lot I plan to stand here before you and talk about options with affordable housing program.

2185
03:17:56,711 --> 03:17:57,110
That's on Saturday.

2186
03:17:57,110 --> 03:18:01,215
It's completely booked and hoping that we're going to have overflow online.

2187
03:18:01,215 --> 03:18:09,623
And I attempted to get that information and also to talk about youth engagement in response to this task force.

2188
03:18:09,623 --> 03:18:16,163
We have community centers are simply not being used to center and particular.

2189
03:18:16,163 --> 03:18:21,602
Right now, the only time the students and the young people complain at gym is on Sunday during family time.

2190
03:18:21,602 --> 03:18:22,269
Same thing at Barwell Road.

2191
03:18:22,269 --> 03:18:24,710
It's a little bit different.

2192
03:18:24,105 --> 03:18:26,774
We built this beautiful facility and we're not using it.

2193
03:18:26,774 --> 03:18:29,577
We can use volunteers.

2194
03:18:29,577 --> 03:18:30,770
I'm one of them.

2195
03:18:30,244 --> 03:18:34,382
My background education and teens.

2196
03:18:34,382 --> 03:18:38,586
That's why in December or to check for $250 to run for mayor and nobody up the mayor.

2197
03:18:38,586 --> 03:18:41,122
So I'm on the ballot.

2198
03:18:41,122 --> 03:18:46,270
I'm highly A transportation expert safety first and respect.

2199
03:18:46,160 --> 03:18:48,429
That sums up the Constitution.

2200
03:18:48,429 --> 03:18:57,271
Thank Our John.

2201
03:18:57,271 --> 03:19:05,913
Mr will only stations too hot.

2202
03:19:05,913 --> 03:19:08,816
and that Mister Marge on here.

2203
03:19:08,816 --> 03:19:08,949
Okay.

2204
03:19:08,949 --> 03:19:14,483
Whitney Purdy.

2205
03:19:16,891 --> 03:19:20,194
Yeah.

2206
03:19:20,194 --> 03:19:22,463
Tj Land Sperry.

2207
03:19:22,463 --> 03:19:29,230
It's T J here.

2208
03:19:49,690 --> 03:19:52,993
Good afternoon, mayor and members of City Council.

2209
03:19:52,993 --> 03:19:55,620
You may want to move the Mike Clay up.

2210
03:19:55,196 --> 03:19:55,730
Thank.

2211
03:19:55,730 --> 03:19:59,834
I'm asking you to deny zoning Casey.

2212
03:19:59,834 --> 03:20:06,271
43, 25 in the forest or at a minimum to delay it until our infrastructure can safely support additional development.

2213
03:20:07,808 --> 03:20:14,749
I support responsible growth but growth needs to be matched by infrastructure, safety and consideration for the existing neighborhood.

2214
03:20:14,749 --> 03:20:20,870
This area already experiences significant traffic and pedestrian challenges, particularly with Melbourne, High School.

2215
03:20:20,554 --> 03:20:23,991
So nearby.

2216
03:20:23,991 --> 03:20:30,665
Lynchburg, 3, 1, 5, and the Abington Square Apartments have also added substantial demand to an already challenged road network.

2217
03:20:30,665 --> 03:20:35,369
There are important transportation improvements being considered and prioritized in this area.

2218
03:20:35,369 --> 03:20:39,306
I believe we should allow those efforts to move forward.

2219
03:20:39,306 --> 03:20:43,244
And determine what additional capacity and safety improvements are needed before.

2220
03:20:43,244 --> 03:20:49,150
Adding another high-density development, please don't put additional growth ahead of infrastructure and safety.

2221
03:20:49,150 --> 03:20:53,621
I respect you too.

2222
03:20:53,621 --> 03:20:58,554
Alex percent.

2223
03:21:04,799 --> 03:21:14,875
I know we all know this, but we cannot increase density without also improving infrastructure to match the increase in population where I live on Brookside Drive.

2224
03:21:14,875 --> 03:21:20,881
We have a front row seat to where this is going well and not going well.

2225
03:21:20,881 --> 03:21:30,758
We've added bike lanes on Brookside Drive, which is excellent for improving traffic, although we need to have the bollards installed that we're promise that's waiting a year for that.

2226
03:21:30,758 --> 03:21:31,425
That's going well.

2227
03:21:31,425 --> 03:21:34,929
But at the same time, we've seen it not going well.

2228
03:21:34,929 --> 03:21:36,364
Trees are being cut down.

2229
03:21:36,364 --> 03:21:46,974
Thanks to a loophole trees, our infrastructure, the development against the creek is having an adverse impact on the creek creeks, our infrastructure.

2230
03:21:46,974 --> 03:22:03,887
We need to hold developers to a much higher standard that takes care of our infrastructure, especially using the creek streets concept to raise those standards where we have created a development next to creeks.

2231
03:22:04,358 --> 03:22:08,295
Neil Mackay.

2232
03:22:08,295 --> 03:22:08,696
Mackey here.

2233
03:22:08,696 --> 03:22:10,264
Okay.

2234
03:22:10,264 --> 03:22:15,198
Tina Wallen.

2235
03:22:29,362 --> 03:22:29,595
Hello, everybody.

2236
03:22:29,595 --> 03:22:36,402
My name is the final You should probably be familiar with me because I keep saying land around waterways.

2237
03:22:36,402 --> 03:22:38,404
Change.

2238
03:22:38,404 --> 03:22:42,575
So it's really hard to anticipate development around land that is always changing.

2239
03:22:42,575 --> 03:22:48,781
So they continue to implore the city of Raleigh to reassess how we develop along creeks.

2240
03:22:48,781 --> 03:22:54,287
That land has more responsibility, more demand to manage of the dynamics of weather-related events.

2241
03:22:54,287 --> 03:22:55,540
Creeks absorb excess and land around.

2242
03:22:55,540 --> 03:22:57,323
It does too.

2243
03:22:57,323 --> 03:23:05,498
If we introduce impervious surfaces in that encroaching space, then we have reduced margin of error.

2244
03:23:05,498 --> 03:23:11,437
We need to development guardrails to offer more for our struggling storm, water creeks, which are essential infrastructure.

2245
03:23:11,437 --> 03:23:21,514
We must evolve our perspective of prioritizing impervious surface over absorbent land adjacent to our creeks because they are connected stormwater utility systems.

2246
03:23:21,514 --> 03:23:24,517
Are 1000 miles of Stormwater Creek need help.

2247
03:23:24,517 --> 03:23:25,840
So let's help it.

2248
03:23:25,840 --> 03:23:26,419
Please.

2249
03:23:26,419 --> 03:23:31,157
Thank you.

2250
03:23:31,157 --> 03:23:34,260
Tomorrow Tamara Jones so Mr.

2251
03:23:34,260 --> 03:23:41,670
Chen's See Cox.

2252
03:23:41,670 --> 03:23:43,202
Mr.

2253
03:23:43,202 --> 03:23:46,720
Cox here and I know there's some people in overflow.

2254
03:23:46,720 --> 03:23:50,776
Am I missing anyone because of that issue are okay.

2255
03:23:50,776 --> 03:23:56,376
Kimberly Metairie and

2256
03:24:18,304 --> 03:24:22,800
Good afternoon Council that to Kimberly Metairie and I'm here to say, first of all, thank you.

2257
03:24:22,675 --> 03:24:30,616
Ms make him pay for saying that if they had enough money to go to a canes, even could stay out of trouble.

2258
03:24:30,616 --> 03:24:32,510
Him say this.

2259
03:24:32,510 --> 03:24:35,821
It is the Hurricanes.

2260
03:24:35,821 --> 03:24:38,758
We must talk about because they are living on the land lincolnville.

2261
03:24:38,758 --> 03:24:41,600
So what is Lincoln Bill they can.

2262
03:24:41,600 --> 03:24:44,563
Bill is one of the 13 Freedman's Village is.

2263
03:24:44,563 --> 03:24:51,300
That was stolen by the state of Carolina to Bill, you're State University.

2264
03:24:51,300 --> 03:25:01,470
Carter Finley Stadium, Indoor Complex, and the Senate so we could afford You just got us that gentrifying and you have to go back and find out the root cause.

2265
03:25:01,470 --> 03:25:08,821
A slight miss Anderson saying as to why you can't stop still in killing and destroying why?

2266
03:25:08,821 --> 03:25:09,555
Because you're a state sponsor Hill.

2267
03:25:09,555 --> 03:25:22,497
A state sponsor Creates state sponsors, death and it also sponsors mental health.

2268
03:25:27,740 --> 03:25:30,743
Andrea Hook.

2269
03:25:30,743 --> 03:25:34,313
took here.

2270
03:25:34,313 --> 03:25:34,547
Okay.

2271
03:25:34,547 --> 03:25:38,480
Jorge Ramos.

2272
03:25:42,822 --> 03:25:42,855
Hello.

2273
03:25:42,855 --> 03:25:43,890
My name is most.

2274
03:25:43,389 --> 03:25:47,930
I've lived in the city for 22 years and I've seen all sorts of things over the years.

2275
03:25:47,930 --> 03:25:47,930
Crazy things.

2276
03:25:47,293 --> 03:25:51,970
But I've never seen young people being the perpetrators of violence or chaos.

2277
03:25:51,970 --> 03:25:53,650
It's typically the adults that are doing that.

2278
03:25:53,650 --> 03:26:04,276
I find it baffling that when this Congregation of 3,005 1008 1000 as your claim, the number keeps shifting of folks were gathered in Briar Creek in Glenwood South in the 4th of July that I would automatically deduce that they were all young

2279
03:26:04,276 --> 03:26:12,184
people participating in a teen table over as you calling yell out there with Clickers counting verifying ID's how Dr magically know they were.

2280
03:26:12,184 --> 03:26:14,860
All teens also have got a bit now on a night in Glenwood.

2281
03:26:14,286 --> 03:26:17,690
I can assure you there's plenty of chaos taking place on a weekly basis.

2282
03:26:17,690 --> 03:26:23,290
No takeovers needed instead of trying to punish all of our city teams with over policing and surveillance actually try to address.

2283
03:26:23,290 --> 03:26:25,297
The real issue at hand really about gun violence.

2284
03:26:25,297 --> 03:26:28,601
Let's talk about gun restrictions, not curfews.

2285
03:26:28,601 --> 03:26:33,406
Don't scapegoat teenage, is it weird and tired also, have you ever stopped to think that teens have jobs?

2286
03:26:33,406 --> 03:26:35,740
Not everyone is privileged enough to be a full time student.

2287
03:26:35,274 --> 03:26:40,446
Young people play active roles and their families and they need the autonomy to to to be able to move.

2288
03:26:40,446 --> 03:26:40,680
Thank freely.

2289
03:26:40,680 --> 03:26:45,447
This proposed curfew is just another opportunity.

2290
03:26:55,940 --> 03:26:57,494
Drew Washington.

2291
03:27:03,202 --> 03:27:03,636
Hello, everyone.

2292
03:27:03,636 --> 03:27:08,641
My name is to Washington and I probably services youth organizer for Education, Justice Alliance.

2293
03:27:08,641 --> 03:27:11,911
And today I'm here to speak on the proposed teen curfew.

2294
03:27:11,911 --> 03:27:13,913
As someone who works directly with youth.

2295
03:27:13,913 --> 03:27:24,153
I have an understanding of how important it is to help them pass their own creativity, imagination and sense of self creating restrictions by stealing a curfew.
