important work 80 00:03:42,790 --> 00:03:45,390 to prevent human trafficking. 81 00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:48,750 Some of those agencies within our community 82 00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:51,570 that does

00:04:34,630 --> 00:04:39,350 And I will say that if she were here, I'd be saying, 96 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:41,850 Doctor Williams, Doctor Cecilia Williamson. 97 00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:44,290 I for many years in our community, 98 00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:48,350 we've seen the work that she has produced in 99 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:51,530 around human trafficking, also bringing awareness to it, 100 00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:54,790 not just in our community, but at a state 101 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:58,530 level community that I have the opportunity to represent. 102 00:04:58,530 --> 00:05:01,110 The 44th House District. 103 00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:05,850 At the state house saw the testimonies, 104 00:05:05,850 --> 00:05:10,870 and I know that then Senator and House Representative Teresa 105 00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:13,870 Fedor did much work down at the state house 106 00:05:13,870 --> 00:05:17,670 around bringing awareness and making law changes 107 00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:21,790 within our state around this. 108 00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:23,950 This work is going on and had the opportunity 109 00:05:23,950 --> 00:05:30,270 to speak to some ladies, children and actually 110 00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:33,350 a gentleman that had been trafficked that 111 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:36,670 was from our area and hearing their stories 112 00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:38,090 and what they had gone through. 113 00:05:38,090 --> 00:05:40,870 So this is something that this month and every month 114 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:43,190 after is important, that all of us 115 00:05:43,190 --> 00:05:46,230 join in their efforts to spread awareness to help prevent 116 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:49,030 this horrible, horrible crime. 117 00:05:49,030 --> 00:05:50,990 And that's why I'm so honored to have 118 00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:54,670 some folks here who work tirelessly for our residents 119 00:05:54,670 --> 00:05:56,150 here. 120 00:05:56,150 --> 00:06:00,150 Our residents here today with us, there's 121 00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:03,230 a nationwide movement called National Human trafficking 122 00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:06,350 month, which bans us all together 123 00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:08,730 to raise awareness, educate the public, 124 00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:10,450 and strengthen prevention. 125 00:06:10,450 --> 00:06:14,030 And that's what we wanted to do today and every day 126 00:06:14,030 --> 00:06:17,750 after strengthening prevention by working together 127 00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:22,230 towards the same goals to stop human trafficking before it 128 00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:23,190 occurs. 129 00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:26,670 So bringing that awareness helps so very many. 130 00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:30,550 Human trafficking is not a distant or abstract problem. 131 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:33,730 It occurs in communities just like ours. 132 00:06:33,730 --> 00:06:37,190 Often hidden in plain sight, prevention 133 00:06:37,190 --> 00:06:42,470 begins with awareness, educating and strong partnerships. 134 00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:45,390 I want to point out that while this national awareness 135 00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:49,140 effort began in 2010, work to prevent human trafficking 136 00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:53,820 has taken place here locally in blekinge County for much longer. 137 00:06:53,820 --> 00:06:56,700 And that's credit to our guests we have here today 138 00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:59,300 and many hard working people before them. 139 00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:03,220 And I listed off all our guests, but also 140 00:07:03,220 --> 00:07:05,620 so many within our communities that 141 00:07:05,620 --> 00:07:07,420 are working on this together. 142 00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:10,360 In 2008, a small group of agencies, 143 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,060 concerned community members came together 144 00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:15,140 to address trafficking locally. 145 00:07:15,140 --> 00:07:19,260 Those early efforts led to the creation of a Lucas County 146 00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:22,780 human trafficking coalition, supported by a US 147 00:07:22,780 --> 00:07:24,980 Department of Justice grant, to demonstrate 148 00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:27,220 early federal regulations. 149 00:07:27,220 --> 00:07:29,420 Recognition excuse me of the importance 150 00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:31,820 of this work in our region. 151 00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:35,700 In 2013, the coalition evolved into a Northern Ohio 152 00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:39,340 regional effort aimed in combating human trafficking 153 00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:42,000 or Northern Ohio reach all. 154 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,740 The reach is now partnered with zepf center 155 00:07:44,740 --> 00:07:46,580 and the University of Toledo. 156 00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:48,860 Human trafficking and social Justice Institute 157 00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:52,940 to expand prevention, education and survivor 158 00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:56,180 centered services across our region. 159 00:07:56,180 --> 00:07:58,620 Through these partnerships, thousands of individuals 160 00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:00,500 each year receive education on how 161 00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,980 to recognize trafficking indicators, 162 00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:06,080 respond safely, and connect victims. 163 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,860 To support, these organizations also strengthen coordination 164 00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:14,240 amongst service providers, advocates, educators, 165 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,700 health care systems, and community partners, 166 00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:21,100 ensuring survivors and Thrivers receive 167 00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:27,940 informed trauma responsive care and pathways to stability. 168 00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:30,260 Today, my colleagues, is our great honor 169 00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:33,980 to deliver this proclamation, and we'll be doing here shortly 170 00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:36,620 to rejoin on the efforts to further spread awareness 171 00:08:36,620 --> 00:08:38,460 to prevent human trafficking. 172 00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:43,220 Trafficking I want to thank Northern Ohio region 173 00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:45,620 and the University of Toledo's human trafficking 174 00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:48,220 and social Justice Institute for the unwavering 175 00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:51,940 commitment to protecting vulnerable populations 176 00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:53,860 in our community. 177 00:08:53,860 --> 00:08:57,940 These coordinated efforts make our residents safer 178 00:08:57,940 --> 00:09:02,520 and with the proclamation, we offer our support in this fight. 179 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,460 I'd like to turn it over to my colleagues, to say a few words 180 00:09:05,460 --> 00:09:07,620 and to turn it over to you. 181 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:09,820 Because if there's anybody trying 182 00:09:09,820 --> 00:09:12,340 to do harm reduction at the level of our community 183 00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:13,800 around the state, I'm not sure. 184 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,980 I think this fight against human trafficking 185 00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:19,240 was pretty much launched in Lucas County. 186 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,780 And thank you for being a representative 187 00:09:20,780 --> 00:09:23,780 when you're a representative of State and former representative 188 00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:25,820 Teresa Fedor. 189 00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:28,180 I found in this Doctor Williamson. 190 00:09:28,180 --> 00:09:31,200 So they like to say we're not new to this. 191 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,040 We're true to this. 192 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,800 We've been doing this for a while. 193 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,440 So I think we do things right. 194 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,960 Some things right here in Lucas County. 195 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,460 We've kind of been leaders on this. 196 00:09:40,460 --> 00:09:44,360 It's something we'll never put ourselves out of business doing. 197 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,260 Unfortunately, the forces that are against us 198 00:09:46,260 --> 00:09:53,500 are large because communities do stand up for the right thing. 199 00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,140 I think the fact that we've organized around this leadership 200 00:09:56,140 --> 00:09:59,580 we've had around this and continue 201 00:09:59,580 --> 00:10:03,320 to make this a priority to raise awareness of human trafficking. 202 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,820 I don't think statewide it would be at this level 203 00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:09,160 without the work that people in Lucas County have done. 204 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,540 And of course, it's led by women, so 205 00:10:12,540 --> 00:10:14,900 and then we could have support. 206 00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:18,900 But women leadership that has risen horrific issue 207 00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:21,820 has been very impressive to me as always. 208 00:10:21,820 --> 00:10:23,800 And I thank everybody that started this work, 209 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,200 that has continued this work. 210 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,260 And finally through this work and our large 211 00:10:29,260 --> 00:10:35,340 again, it's unfortunate that. 212 00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:40,900 Children with women and. 213 00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:47,180 And men are victims in those traditionally 214 00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:49,160 impoverished runaways. 215 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,620 216 00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:56,380 And young children can be just stolen in a moment 217 00:10:56,380 --> 00:11:01,040 to be victimized, to be taken away from their homes, 218 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,300 taken away from their community, and put in a very vulnerable, 219 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:07,480 terrifying. 220 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,100 221 00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:14,500 Again victimizing situation that will 222 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:20,480 not only children with women traumatized their family, 223 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,320 but their community and all of us knowing that right here, 224 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,460 based on our proximity with the interstate, the ability 225 00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:34,700 for children and victims to still 226 00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,580 be taken as we speak right now, someone 227 00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:40,650 is being harmed armed right now. 228 00:11:40,650 --> 00:11:44,650 Someone is asking for help right now. 229 00:11:44,650 --> 00:11:48,710 So what you're doing and what we're doing here is to again, 230 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:51,310 encourage you to do what you're doing. 231 00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:56,730 I know I cannot imagine the calls, the situations, 232 00:11:56,730 --> 00:12:02,410 those of you that work with law enforcement to capture these 233 00:12:02,410 --> 00:12:06,330 individuals and rescue these victims, thank 234 00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:07,470 you for what you're doing. 235 00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:10,010 Thank you for the awareness and working together 236 00:12:10,010 --> 00:12:12,730 with the mental health services and our children 237 00:12:12,730 --> 00:12:17,730 and our providers, our educators and public schools. 238 00:12:17,730 --> 00:12:19,770 And the more we talk about it, and the more we 239 00:12:19,770 --> 00:12:21,670 put those stickers up in bathrooms, 240 00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:26,070 and the more we let individuals know it's not gone away. 241 00:12:26,070 --> 00:12:27,610 It's never going to go away. 242 00:12:27,610 --> 00:12:33,990 Unfortunately, with greed and unfortunately, 243 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:37,330 just terrible people in the world who will 244 00:12:37,330 --> 00:12:40,490 prey on the most vulnerable. 245 00:12:40,490 --> 00:12:42,410 Will continue to exist. 246 00:12:42,410 --> 00:12:45,050 And until we can catch all of them 247 00:12:45,050 --> 00:12:47,290 and bring everyone home safe. 248 00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:50,210 We have to continue to fund you, support you, 249 00:12:50,210 --> 00:12:55,050 and hopefully partner with

never going to go away. 256 00:13:08,410 --> 00:13:09,410 Thank you. 257 00:13:09,410 --> 00:13:10,350 Hello, everybody. 258 00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:15,370 My name is Mindy and I am the co-chair of the

that harms individuals and families 269 00:13:46,650 --> 00:13:48,930 in every community. 270 00:13:48,930 --> 00:13:51,450 While awareness is essential, meaningful change 271 00:13:51,450 -->

under challenging conditions 282 00:14:24,690 --> 00:14:27,170 and with limited resources. 283 00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:29,390 Their commitment to trauma informed, 284 00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:34,810

00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:16,720 So I'm here representing the Toledo Federation of teachers. 319 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,160 We 14 years ago, when the Institute was just 320 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,960 on the cusp of being created, Kevin 321 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,400 Dalton, the president, and I'm the vice president of the Union. 322 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,520 We were at the table at the University 323 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,880 on a cold and snowy day, just like this in February. 324 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,000 And since then, the Toledo Federation of teachers 325 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,800 has been in a partnership with the Lucas County 326 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,960 human trafficking coalition, the Institute, 327 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,200 and now Northern Ohio reach. 328 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,480 I don't know if you all know when a legislative mandate came 329 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,080 down, that educators in Ohio had to be trained 330 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,620 in human trafficking about 12 years ago, 331 00:16:57,620 --> 00:16:59,480 it was an unfunded mandate. 332 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,820 There was no training. 333 00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:07,000 So the Federation took it upon themselves to create training. 334 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,680 And we subsequently trained thousands of people 335 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,880 across the state. 336 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,800 But more importantly, what we've done 337 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,839 is created prevention education for our youth. 338 00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,440 We need to understand that our youth are 339 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,260 facing an unprecedented political, 340 00:17:22,260 --> 00:17:24,740 social, economic risk factors. 341 00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:30,080 And what we incorporated into the training for educators 342 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,160 was a focus assessment tool that was created 343 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,640 by the human trafficking Institute that looks at risk 344 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,640 factors so we can mitigate those risk 345 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,560 factors before students are put in the position of being 346 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,360 trafficked. 347 00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:46,920 With all of the federal, state, and local cuts 348 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:53,360 that are occurring, we are very concerned about our students 349 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:57,080 and the risk factors rising, as you all 350 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,280 have seen through public school has 351 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,580 had to make cuts with teachers, with nurses, 352 00:18:03,580 --> 00:18:06,200 with all of our social workers are gone now, 353 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,080 and all of those social workers were trained to make sure 354 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,620 that if they thought a student was at risk, 355 00:18:13,620 --> 00:18:16,080 they could provide the focus assessment. 356 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,440 And some of our community partners 357 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,020 are no longer in the schools due to the cuts, 358 00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:25,320 and we are facing these issues as a community 359 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,060 and not having our teachers having training. 360 00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:32,760 For example, our new teachers were always trained 361 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,660 by me, very extensive training. 362 00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:37,480 We no longer have the interim board 363 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:43,040 of review, which allows us to mentor those teachers in order 364 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,660 for them to be the frontline for our students. 365 00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:52,320 So what I say is the more than how we teach the Lucas County 366 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,520 commissioners, Toledo as a community, all of the care 367 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,200 providers, we all need to work together 368 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,360 in order to make sure that our students and their families 369 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:03,360 are safe. 370 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:07,080 We have more students in foster care in public schools than ever 371 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,580 before, and if you look at all the risk factors, 372 00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:13,240 you will be astounded by how many there are. 373 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,680 So thank you again to the commissioner's office 374 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,500 for having this proclamation. 375 00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:24,740 But I also believe that there's so much more work to be done. 376 00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:27,340 So on behalf of the Taleo Federation of teachers, 377 00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:28,520 thank you all. 378 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:34,080 What I say

00:32:12,890 --> 00:32:15,230 Yes good morning. 653 00:32:15,230 --> 00:32:18,090 Scientists from risk management, Diane Robinson is here. 654 00:32:18,090 --> 00:32:21,150 We have three resolutions

thank you. 663 00:32:42,590 --> 00:32:45,050 And third is an appropriation. 664 00:32:45,050 --> 00:32:47,470 18 through 20 are from the Office of Management. 665 00:32:47,470 --> 00:32:49,630 We take them over to vote on the first two. 666 00:32:49,630 --> 00:32:52,670 And I'd like to talk to appropriation resolution 20, 667 00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:55,210 please. 668 00:32:55,210 --> 00:32:56,730 So you want to separate those out. 669 00:32:56,730 --> 00:32:58,030 Yes so the. 670 00:32:58,030 --> 00:33:01,560 Basically make a motion on 18 and 19 1819. 671 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:02,580 Clerk call the roll. 672 00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:03,540 Commissioner gurkin. 673 00:33:03,540 --> 00:33:05,160 Yes commissioner Lopez. 674 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,020 Yes commissioner. 675 00:33:06,020 --> 00:33:07,480 Sebesky yes. 676 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,260 Pay attention to item 20. 677 00:33:09,260 --> 00:33:11,800 The appropriation resolution, especially the allocation 678 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:17,520 of the $60,000, $6,250 to the Sheriff's Department 679 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,680 for overtime and law enforcement services. 680 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,160 This is exactly the same amount that the majority of this board 681 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,780 chose not to take from the Department of Homeland Security, 682 00:33:26,780 --> 00:33:29,880 border control and ice to run some extra patrols in Western 683 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,620 Lucas County, Western Lucas County, 684 00:33:31,620 --> 00:33:36,620 primarily as Jerusalem Township and along the Coast out there, 685 00:33:36,620 --> 00:33:40,160 I think I am comfortable with expending 686 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,240 from our unappropriated balances that same amount for him 687 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,540 to run patrols at his direction, under his watch, 688 00:33:48,540 --> 00:33:53,320 and for the purposes, rather than taking the federal money 689 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,080 from those agencies to do that which proves us 690 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,260 correct in the last week or so. 691 00:34:00,260 --> 00:34:01,440 They are not worthy. 692 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,380 We should not be taking monies from that. 693 00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:06,440 We can do our own law enforcement here. 694 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,780 I trust the Sheriff to make good judgment. 695 00:34:08,780 --> 00:34:11,280 He has on protecting Western Lucas County. 696 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,639 This is for overtime, so they get 697 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:14,760 some extra patrols to do that. 698 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,199 I think it's fair to them not to be 699 00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:18,040 deprived of these services just because 700 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:18,940 of the source of the money. 701 00:34:18,940 --> 00:34:20,239 I'm uncomfortable. 702 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,800 I think we can find $68,000 in our budget 703 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,880 over the year to help provide those 704 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,179 residents with the services. 705 00:34:26,179 --> 00:34:28,040 They might have got some money that the majority 706 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,040 of this board game rightly so, inappropriate 707 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,040 to take to do those services. 708 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,139 I would support that. 709 00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:36,139 I wanted to make some comment on that, 710 00:34:36,139 --> 00:34:40,880 and I think hopefully we'll have a unanimous vote on that today. 711 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,620 I also want to take the time to mention out of the meeting. 712 00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:48,120 Two weeks ago, I talked to about a standard of conduct 713 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,179 that the Sheriff might employ should ICE ever come here. 714 00:34:52,179 --> 00:34:54,920 And what we've seen in the past 10 days has been important 715 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,000 and it's more important forever. 716 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,680 Looking through what we have had historically. 717 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,020 So they take time to look around and see what best practices. 718 00:35:03,020 --> 00:35:03,820 And here's what I found. 719 00:35:03,820 --> 00:35:06,360 The Sheriff already has a best practice. 720 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,080 There is a code of conduct already 721 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:13,680 signed basically with the Black and Brown coalition years ago. 722 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,940 And this code of conduct, which is on his website, 723 00:35:16,940 --> 00:35:21,040 is accessible for the really does 724 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,680 the things I think are based on community standards 725 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,160 should demand the Sheriff. 726 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,280 The best part about it was entered 727 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,160 into after collaboration with the community 728 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,580 of Waldemar Velasquez. 729 00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:35,280 Thank you for coming and giving testimony today again 730 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,240 during the NAACP and others worked 731 00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:40,420 very hard to get this agreement between the Sheriff. 732 00:35:40,420 --> 00:35:42,760 I was honored to be at the signing ceremony 733 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,500 at block headquarters that day. 734 00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:47,960 So rather than sheriffs made the comments 735 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,520 that commissioners or can town to tell him 736 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,700 what to do on code of conduct. 737 00:35:51,700 --> 00:35:52,680 He's right. 738 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,480 I don't have authority over that. 739 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,240 But what we do know is I want to congratulate 740 00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,800 him for his foresight years ago to come 741 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,980 up with a code of conduct. 742 00:36:01,980 --> 00:36:05,700 And if I remember well, it was basically under the same strain. 743 00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:07,960 We thought ice was coming years ago. 744 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,640 So this thing was actually a precursor 745 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,440 to what you see in America now. 746 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,660 The Sheriff did a good job. 747 00:36:14,660 --> 00:36:17,080 Thank you for allowing me to have some input on that 748 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:17,900 as we went along. 749 00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:19,560 And the NAACP. 750 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,400 So there is a living document today 751 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,040 that the Sheriff has on his website 752 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,160 that calls for code of conduct on how the community acts 753 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,540 and how the Lucas County Sheriff's Department acts. 754 00:36:29,540 --> 00:36:32,880 I think it's a well reasoned document made in collaboration 755 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,460 with the community. 756 00:36:34,460 --> 00:36:35,960 And I don't think I would spend time trying 757 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:36,980 to improve on that today. 758 00:36:36,980 --> 00:36:41,160 Here's the only thing I don't propose to tell the Sheriff what 759 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,440 basically under the same strain, we thought 760 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,400 ice was coming years ago. 761 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,120 So this thing was actually a precursor 762 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,510 to what you see in America to document if you already signed 763 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:54,670 in this living document, make sure they know how 764 00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:57,230 we want to act in Lucas County. 765 00:36:57,230 --> 00:36:59,670 Use the tool we already have. 766 00:36:59,670 --> 00:37:03,670 Use the tool we already have and put that alive. 767 00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:07,190 And how when code of conduct comes in and does code 768 00:37:07,190 --> 00:37:09,950 of conduct in place in Minneapolis right now, 769 00:37:09,950 --> 00:37:11,090 people wouldn't be dead. 770 00:37:11,090 --> 00:37:12,230 People wouldn't be hurt. 771 00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:14,250 People would spend time trying to improve on that, 772 00:37:14,250 --> 00:37:15,670 try to avoid that. 773 00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:18,310 So I'm very comfortable with the code of conduct that is signed 774 00:37:18,310 --> 00:37:21,030 before, and I think that's the standard that we could 775 00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:22,530 all support to go forward on. 776 00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:23,750 And I'm more than comfortable enough 777 00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:27,270 to have him at his discretion. 778 00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:29,950 I'm pretty good about this to law enforcement in Western Lucas 779 00:37:29,950 --> 00:37:31,210 County community in the mountains, 780 00:37:31,210 --> 00:37:34,530 to make sure they know how to want to act in this County. 781 00:37:34,530 --> 00:37:35,370 Now, here's the tool. 782 00:37:35,370 --> 00:37:37,670 We are having a pretty good day at the commissioners today. 783 00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:40,417 We had a roof and put that away. 784 00:37:40,417 --> 00:37:41,550 And you're getting money to do law 785 00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:42,930 enforcement in Western County. 786 00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:45,250 Who says we can't go on at this code of conduct. 787 00:37:45,250 --> 00:37:47,990 Been in place in Minneapolis and there wouldn't 788 00:37:47,990 --> 00:37:50,430 be dead people wouldn't people would spend 789 00:37:50,430 --> 00:37:53,150 time trying to avoid that. 790 00:37:53,150 --> 00:37:55,050 So I'm very comfortable with the code of conduct. 791 00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:58,070 I think it's very important that that's the standard 792 00:37:58,070 --> 00:38:02,150 that everyone understands, that we all respect 793 00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:06,350 our law enforcement locally, and we do 794 00:38:06,350 --> 00:38:09,590 have confidence in our Sheriff. 795 00:38:09,590 --> 00:38:12,030 I think what is concerning to all of us, 796 00:38:12,030 --> 00:38:16,030 and myself particularly, is the different standards that 797 00:38:16,030 --> 00:38:20,030 are being held by various levels of law enforcement 798 00:38:20,030 --> 00:38:21,250 at the local level. 799 00:38:21,250 --> 00:38:26,790 Our police and our Sheriff have to arrest and assist 800 00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:29,710 in the prosecution of criminals. 801 00:38:29,710 --> 00:38:33,190 Every day they live in our community. 802 00:38:33,190 --> 00:38:36,050 They break bread in our community, 803 00:38:36,050 --> 00:38:39,190 and they attend church in our community. 804 00:38:39,190 --> 00:38:42,510 They do not hide behind masks. 805 00:38:42,510 --> 00:38:46,190 They do not conduct themselves in the way 806 00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:50,230 that ice is conducting themselves now. 807 00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:52,330 There should not be a difference. 808 00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:54,670 The different standards of our law enforcement 809 00:38:54,670 --> 00:38:56,350 by various levels of law. 810 00:38:56,350 --> 00:38:58,250 The point of supporting the vote, 811 00:38:58,250 --> 00:39:04,030 not accept the funds from the federal level, 812 00:39:04,030 --> 00:39:09,550 was to slow things down and say, this is what we do not 813 00:39:09,550 --> 00:39:12,230 want to happen in Lucas County. 814 00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:15,870 We do not want what is happening in other parts 815 00:39:15,870 --> 00:39:18,830 of our country to come here. 816 00:39:18,830 --> 00:39:24,750 And at times, raising awareness does create controversy, 817 00:39:24,750 --> 00:39:28,110 but it is sometimes the right thing to do to let 818 00:39:28,110 --> 00:39:31,670 folks we can look at this law. 819 00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:34,150 We can work with our local law enforcement the point 820 00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:40,430 of supporting the vote, but not accept the funds from $68,000 821 00:39:40,430 --> 00:39:44,110 level to hold off on accepting down 822 00:39:44,110 --> 00:39:46,210 for the safety of all of it is. 823 00:39:46,210 --> 00:39:48,950 What we do not want to happen is the best thing 824 00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:50,250 I think we could have done. 825 00:39:50,250 --> 00:39:51,190 Do not want. 826 00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:54,250 So I supported that in other parts of our country. 827 00:39:54,250 --> 00:39:59,030 They do not come here and at times do not want awareness. 828 00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:02,150 Our Sheriff to be hindered, doing his job 829 00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:04,890 and protecting all parts the right thing to do. 830 00:40:04,890 --> 00:40:08,190 So again, we are fortunate we have a County Sheriff who 831 00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:12,070 is willing to listen and at times be critical 832 00:40:12,070 --> 00:40:14,430 and challenge us to be better. 833 00:40:14,430 --> 00:40:16,070 Better law. 834 00:40:16,070 --> 00:40:21,550 Law elected officials and I do believe we have confidence 835 00:40:21,550 --> 00:40:25,810 in the local law enforcement, again under the mayor's control, 836 00:40:25,810 --> 00:40:28,510 to think better and better and serve 837 00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:33,750 our community better for the safety of evolutionary theory. 838 00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:37,990 Clerk call the roll Mr. let me just one more finish. 839 00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:39,550 I think you made a great point, Commissioner 840 00:40:39,550 --> 00:40:42,410 Lopez, and emphasizing the right thing to do. 841 00:40:42,410 --> 00:40:45,170 So again, we have a County Sheriff, 842 00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:47,510 and you go back to when we had two 843 00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:49,830 votes against taking ice contract 844 00:40:49,830 --> 00:40:51,530 and challenge us to be better. 845 00:40:51,530 --> 00:40:55,590 He better the other vote, and it was very courageous for him 846 00:40:55,590 --> 00:40:59,670 not to go, not to take his money and confidence to operate in 847 00:40:59,670 --> 00:41:03,070 the jail again, right under the mayor's control 848 00:41:03,070 --> 00:41:05,630 when it came to that choice where he could make that 849 00:41:05,630 --> 00:41:07,870 and serve our community better. 850 00:41:07,870 --> 00:41:10,710 I think our community values here. 851 00:41:10,710 --> 00:41:12,570 We lost that vote 8 to 2. 852 00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:15,670 853 00:41:15,670 --> 00:41:17,590 I think you made a great point, Richard Lopez. 854 00:41:17,590 --> 00:41:19,670 I don't want to see our law enforcement, 855 00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:24,790 local law enforcement hurt by the actions of federal law. 856 00:41:24,790 --> 00:41:29,670 Two votes against the share of the police chief in Minnesota. 857 00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:32,670 They're worried about that they get lumped in. 858 00:41:32,670 --> 00:41:36,490 We don't have that law enforcement confidence. 859 00:41:36,490 --> 00:41:39,390 And so it's their job professionally. 860 00:41:39,390 --> 00:41:41,690 Our whole reason not to take money, 861 00:41:41,690 --> 00:41:46,300 or money could not be lumped in with the activities 862 00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:47,420 of the community. 863 00:41:47,420 --> 00:41:48,720 I will congratulate the Sheriff. 864 00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:53,540 Thanks for devoting to want to make him whole with this vote 865 00:41:53,540 --> 00:41:55,820 and our outrage. 866 00:41:55,820 --> 00:41:58,160 The ICE does not care. 867 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,740 Outrage in our local law refers to the actions 868 00:42:00,740 --> 00:42:01,520 that we want them. 869 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,800 We want to be better with them vote against paper. 870 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,860 For the record, I'm so mad about that. 871 00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:12,940 The things that have transpired within our country, 872 00:42:12,940 --> 00:42:16,060 and especially Minnesota over the past three weeks 873 00:42:16,060 --> 00:42:23,860 has been a tragedy, and it's going to leave a stain on our. 874 00:42:23,860 --> 00:42:28,480 But here's the best part, though, is from that tragedy, 875 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,900 though, there are people that are listening. 876 00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:32,420 There are people that are listening. 877 00:42:32,420 --> 00:42:34,940 Federal government to make those changes 878 00:42:34,940 --> 00:42:37,340 that can put those pressures on those policies 879 00:42:37,340 --> 00:42:40,300 and change those policies right where they are. 880 00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:42,860 It also takes taking a lot of courage, 881 00:42:42,860 --> 00:42:47,220 not just of the citizens that are here in front of us 882 00:42:47,220 --> 00:42:50,580 today, that we're doing great work within our community 883 00:42:50,580 --> 00:42:56,440 on educating our community and having resources at their tool, 884 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,480 at their fingertips. 885 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,740 So I applaud those. 886 00:42:58,740 --> 00:43:00,580 But it's also those many phone calls 887 00:43:00,580 --> 00:43:06,300 with those that want to actually change the policy in Washington. 888 00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:09,900 And literally yesterday when the day started, 889 00:43:09,900 --> 00:43:11,420 the numbers weren't too high. 890 00:43:11,420 --> 00:43:13,200 But by the time I went to bed last night, 891 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,420 those are the pressures on those policies, 892 00:43:15,420 --> 00:43:18,100 on support to be able to make those changes. 893 00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:23,380 So our actions, our voices do need things 894 00:43:23,380 --> 00:43:25,660 and they do resonate. 895 00:43:25,660 --> 00:43:30,620 So continue to those that are here 896 00:43:30,620 --> 00:43:32,700 continue to lift up our community 897 00:43:32,700 --> 00:43:37,840 and encourage people to actually make those phone calls. 898 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,340 So with that, I would like to call the roll commissioner. 899
