THESE BROADCASTS INCLUDE REAL TIME CAPTIONG AS A FURTHER METHOD TO INCREASE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR PROCEEDINGS TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR DANIEL LE.  I'LL ASK DANIEL ABLESON TO COME UP AND SPEAK AND ON THE FLOOR FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.  >>  GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR CHAVEZ, CO COUNCILMEMBERS.  THERE'S THREE MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS WHO SERVE ON THE ETHICAL PRACTICES BOARD.  AND THE MEMBERS ARE APPOINTED BY AN APPOINTING COMMITTEE THAT CONSISTS OF THE CHIEF JUDGE OF HHENNEPIN COUNTY AND THE DEANS OF SAINT THOMAS AND MINNESOTA LAW SCHOOLS.  THE ETHICS CODE IN CHAPTER 15 OF CITY ORDINANCES REQUIRES A 30-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, WHICH IS NOW COMPLETED.  AND A PUBLIC HEARING FOR FINALISTS TO THE BOARD.  ANY COMMENTS ARE THEN FORWARDED TO THE APPOINTING COMMITTEE, WHO MAKES THE ACTUAL APPOINTMENT.  THE COUNCIL DOES NOT VOTE ON APPOINTMENT.  IT SIMPLY RECEIVES AND FILES PUBLIC COMMENT.  I'M PLEASED TO SHARE THAT THE APPOINTING COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING THE APPOINTMENT OF DANIEL LE FOR TERM EXPIRING JANUARY 2nd, 2027.  DANIEL'S APPOINTMENT FILLS A MIDTERM VACANCY CREATED BY THE R RESIGNATION OF MICHAEL FREEDMAN IN JANUARY.  AND MR. LE IS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY.  AND I JUST LIKE TO BRIEFLY SHARE SOME OF MR. LE'S LEGAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE EXPERIENCE THAT I THINK MAKES HIM AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE FOR THE BOARD.  MR. LE HAS BEEN AN ATTORNEY IN MINNESOTA FOR APPROXIMATELY 26 YEARS.  HEAS A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE.  HE BEGAN HIS CAREER AT SOUTHERN MINNESOTA REGIONAL LEGAL SERVICES, BETTER KNOWN AS LEGAL AID.  HE WAS AN ATTORNEY THERE FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS.  THEN HE WAS A COMMUNITY PROSECUTOR IN THE SAI PAUL CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.  THEN HE TRANSITIONED TO PRIVATE PRACTICE, AS A SOLO PRACTITIONER FOR 16 YEARS.  FOR FOUR YEARS DURING THAT TIME, HE ALSO WAS A MEMBER OF THE MINNESOTA FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDERS CRIMINAL JUSTICE ATTORNEY PANEL.  SINCE 2022, MR. LE HAS BEEN THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE MINNESOTA CREDIT UNION NETWORK, WHICH IS A TRADE ASSOCIATION OF MINNESOTA'S CREDIT UNIONS.  ADDITIONALLY, IN 2017, THE MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT APPOINTED MR. LE TO SERVE ON THE MINNESOTA STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC DEFENSE, ANDR. LE IS CURRENTLY SERVING AS THE BOARD CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC DEFENSE.  SO I THINK DAN WILL BE A TERRIFIC ADDITN TO THE ETHICAL PRACTICES BOARD, AND I'M PLEASED TO HAVE HIM HERE TAY FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.  THANK YOU. >>  THANK YOU.  I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.  EACH PERSON HAS UP TO TWO MINUTES TO SPEAK.  PLEASE RESPECT THE TE LIMIT.  ONCE TESTIMONY IS COMPLETED, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.  WITH THA IF THERE ARE ANY SPEAKERS, THIS WOULD BE THE TIME.  ALL RIGHT.  SEEING NO ONE WISHING TO SPEAK, I'LL NOW THE CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.  AS ATTORNEY ABLESON EXPLAINED, WE HAVE NO ACTION TO TAKE ON TODAY'S ATTE ITEM.  WE'RE SIMPLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING A FORUM FOR PUBLIC TESTIMONY.  BEFORE WE MOVE ON, ANY COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS.  VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. CHAIR.  JUST QUICK WANTED TO THANK MR. LE FOR COMING INTO OUR CHAMBERS AND TAKING UP THIS ROLE.  REALLY EITED TO SEE YOU'RE A FINALIST.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.  AND I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A WELCOME AS YOU TAKE ON THE NEXT STEPS.  THANKS FOR STEPPING UP FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS >>  ALL RIGHT.  SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'LL DIRECT THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THOSE COMMENTS.  ITEMS 2 THROUGH 4 ARE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.  ITEM 2 IS PART OF THE PUB APPOINTED BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ADMINISTRATIVE PERFORMANCE AND TODAY'S ACTION IS REESTABLISHING AND APPROVING BYLAWS AND PROCEDURAL RULES FOR THE BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, PEDTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND HOW MANY GROWN MINNEAPOLIS FOOD COUNCIL.  I'LL NOTE WE'LL BE SEEING  MORE IN THE COMING WEEKS AND NTHS AS THE BOARDS START ADOPTING THEM AS PART OF THE REFORM PROCESS.  ITEM 3 IS AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMMUNITY COMMISSION ON POLICE OVERSIGHTS BYLAWS.  AND ITEM FOUR IS RECEIVING A LOW BID FOR CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL CHAMBER SECURITY UPGRADE.  THIS ITE WOULD NORMALLY BE IN THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENTERPRISE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, BUT AS IT IS A TIME-SENSITIVE ITEM, I AGREED TO ALLOW IT ON TODAY'S COMMITTE OF THE WHOLE AGENDA.  MEMBERS, ANY DISCUSSIONS OR QUESTIONS ON THE ITEMS? LL RIGHT.  SEEING NO COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.  ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY "AYE." THOSE OPPOSED SAY "NAY." AB TENSIONS?  THE AYES HAVE IT AND THAT MOTION CARRIES.  BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE DISCUSSION ITEMS, WE'LL ADDRESS ITEM NUMBER FIVE, THIS ITEM WAS POSTPONED FROM THE LAST DECEMBER MEETING.STAFF HAVE ASKED TO POSTPONE IT ONE MORE CYCLE TO THE JANUARY 28th, COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING.  IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS TWHB ITEM IS POSTPONED TO JANUARY 28th.  SEEING NO OBJECTIONS.  THAT'S POSTPONED.  SINCE THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA ARE RELATED, WE'LL ADDRESS THEM TOGETHER.  WE HAVE CLERK KARL WHO WILL SUMMARIZE THE 2024 COUNCIL TRACKING REPORT AND GIVE US AN INITIAL REPORT FOR 2025.  THANKS, CLERK KARL. >>  THANK YOU.  GOOD AFTERNOON.  MY NAME IS CASEY KARL.  I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS CLERK FOR THE CITY OF MINNPOLIS.  I'M PLEASED TO BE BEFORE YOU TODAY TO PRESENT TWO REPORTS AS THE CHAIR INDICATED.  THE FIRST, WHICH IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX.  IS A FINAL REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL'S 2024 SESSION.  THE SECOND SHOWN AS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS AN INITIAL REPORT FOR 2025.  AND THAT REPORT IDENTIFIES THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE ALREADY IN QUEUE WITH APPROXIMELY 330 DAYS REMAINING IN THIS TERM.  BECAUSE THIS YEAR MARKS THE END OF AN ELECTIVE TERM, THOSE MATTERS UNDISPOSED AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WILL AUTOMATICALLY WILL EXPIRE.  IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE TO COUNCIL 2024 WAS A BUSY AND PRODUCTIVE YEAR.  I EXPECT THIS YEAR WILL BE SIMILAR IN TERMS OF E FORMAL ACTIONS THAT WE TRACK IN THESE REPORTS.  AS YOU KNOW, THESE REPORTS ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE A TRANSPARENT WAY TO TRACK THE SPECIFIC ACTIONS THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.  BEFORE I GET INTO NUMBERS, I'D LIKE TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO MY TEAM AND THE CLERK'S OFFICE, ESPEALLY OUR CHIEF CLERK, SEATED AT THE DAIS WITH YOU FOR THEIR DILIGENCE.  THEIR WORK ON THE REPORTS ENABLES THIS KIND OF DEEPER DIVE IO THE CITY'S WORK, WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO INCREASED PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.  I ALSO WANT TO NOTE, WE HAV AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AT THE END, MEMBERS OF THE MAYOR'S CABINET DEPARTMENT HEADS WHO MAY BE HERE OR IN THE ADJOINING ROOM.  THEY CAN RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS ON ITEMS THAT MIGHT BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORTS.  IF IT PLEASES THE COMMITTEE, I RECOMMEND WE COMPLETE THE PRESENTATION BEFORE TAKING UP ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT BE ON EITHER OF THE 2024 SUMMARY OR 2025 INITIAL REPORT.  SO THE REPORT IS DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS. THAT CORRESPOND WITH THE SPECIFIC TYPES OF ACTIONS WE TRACK.  AS SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE, IT INCLUDES ORDINANCES, ENTERPRISE POLICIES, LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES, AND STAFF DIRECTIVES.  TOGETHER THESE FOUR TYPES OF ACTIONS CONSTITUTE THE BK OF THE COUNCIL'S LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY MAKING FUNCTIONS.  THEY ALSO ENCOMPASS THE HIGHEST AND MOST IMPORTANT TYPES OF ACTIONS THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN TAKE.  THIS SLIDE SHOWS OUR DATA SOURCES.  AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE PRIMARILY EXTRACTING DATA FROM THE LEGISLATIVE INFORMATION IMAGINEMENT SYSTEM, OR LIMS.  THIS PROVIDES THE FILE AND OFFICIAL ACT NUMBERS, SUBJECT MATTERS, AND OFFICIAL STATUS ALL OF WHICH ARE CONTAINED IN THE FIRST THREE COLUMNS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ON THE SCREEN AND IN THE REPORTS.  THE FOURTH COLUMN ON THE FAR RIGHT, INCLUDES COMMENTARY FROM COUNCMEMBERS AND DEPARTMENTS THAT PROVIDED ADDITIONAL CONTEXT OR EXPLANATIONS ABOUT VARIOUS ITEMS AND THEIR STATUS WITHIN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.  THE CLES HAVE EMBEDDED LINKS TO OUR FILES AND ACTS AS MEETING ANDAS AND MORE TO PROVIDE A FULLER CONTEXT, AS WELL AS ACCESS.  WE'VE ALSONCLUDED CROSS REFERENCES BETWEEN CATEGORIES.  FOR EXAMPLE, BETWEEN ORDINANCE AND LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES.  SO I'LL START, AS I NOTED WITH, BY PROVIDING A SUMMARY OF COUNCIL'S 2024 SESSION.  THAT REPORTING RIOD COVERS ALL ACTIONS THAT WERE TAKEN BETWEEN JANUARY 1 ANS YOU KNOW, 2024 WAS THE FIRST YEAR IN A TWO-YEAR TERM.  THUS, ALL THE ITEMS THAT WERE UNRESOLVED AT THE END OF 2024 CARRIES FORWARD INTO THE CURRENT YEAR.  AND WE'LL REVIEW THE MATTERS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE REPORT.  TO BE CLEAR, THIS FIRST REPORT, THE COVERS 2024 SESSION IS LINKED UNDER AGENDA IT NUMBER 6 ON TODAY'S AGENDA.  SO HERE ON THE SDE, I'M PROVIDING A STATISTICAL SUMMARY OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN I2024.  FROM THAT SNAPSHOT, YOU CAN SEE COUNCIL HAD A TOTAL OF 1,449 OFFICIAL ACTS IN ITS 2024 SESSION.  THAT BREAKS DOWN TO 47 ORDINANCES THAT WERE ENACTED.  449 RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.  AND 953 ACTIONS APPROVED.  IN THIS CONTEXT, ACTION THAT LAST CATEGORY, IS ANY OFFICIAL ACTION NOT PROCESSED AS AN ORDINANCE OR AS RESOLUTION.  FOR EXAMPLE, THAT WOULD INCLUDE ALL CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, AND OTHER TYPES OF FORMAL ACTIONS THAT ARESUALLY OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE NATURE.  YOU CAN SEE THE LER RIGHT HAND CORNER ON THE SLIDE THAT WE CREATED A TOTAL OF 1,4 LEGISLATIVE FILES LAST YEAR.  TYPICALLY ONE FILE IS CREATED FOR EACH OFFICIAL ACTION.  BUT THAT'S NOT AN ABSOLUTE RULE.  SO YOU CAN SEE, THAT WE HAD 1449 OFFICIAL ACTIONS.  WE HAD 1408 LEGISLATIVE LES.  OBVIOUSLY, SOME FILES HAD MORE ACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM THAN OTHERS.  AN EXAMPLE IS OR ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS.  WHERE SEVERAL RESOLUTIONS ARE RELATED TO THE BUDGET AND CONSTITUTE WHAT WE CALL THE ACTION ONHE BUDGET.  AND ALL OF THOSE RESOLUTIONS EACH OF THEM SEPARATE ACTS, ARE ENCOMPASD IN ONE LEGISLATIVE FILE.  I'LL BREAK DOWN THESE NUMBERS IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES.  SO WE'LL START WITH ORDINANCES AND FINAL ACTION TAKEN IN 2024.  AS YOU CAN SEE, THEOTAL NUMBER OF ORDINANCES THAT WERE INTRODUCED LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS THE TOTAL NUER OF ORDINANCES THAT HAD A FINAL ACTION IN 2024 ARE SHOWN IN THE TOP TWO BULLETS.  THIS INFORMATION IS ALSO COVERED ON PAGES 1 AND 2 OF THE WRITTEN REPORT FOR REFERENCE.  AS YOU CAN SEE, A TOTAL OF 48 PROPOSALS INTRODUCED LAST YEAR.  OF THAT TOTAL VOLUME, 13 PROPOSALS ENACTED AS ORDINANCES AND CODIFIED.  THERE ARE TWO PROPOSALS, WHICH WERE ENACTED AS ORDINANCES, AND ARE STILL AWAITING CODIFICATION.  THERE ARE TWO ORDINANCES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIE WHICH WERE PREEMPTED BY STATE LEGISLATION.  AND A TOTAL OF 28 ORDINANCES THAT WERE ENACTED BUT THAT WERE NOT CODIFIED.  SO LET ME STA BY THAT LAST GROUP.  ORDINANCES THAT ARE ENACTED BUT NOT COFIED.  WHERE THE CITY ENACTS AN ORDINANCE THAT IS LEGISLATIVE IN CHARACTER, AND BY THAT PHRASE, LEGISLATIVE IN CHARACTER, I MEAN AN OFFICIAL ACT WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A LOCAL LAW.  IT'S CODIFIEDN THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES.  THE CODE OF ORDER NANTSZS IS A ESSENTIALLY THE COMPILATION OF THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL LAWS.  SIMILAR TO THE STATE STATUTES.  THERE ARE SOME ACTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL TAKENS, HOWEVER, THAT ARE NOT LEGISLATIVE IN CHARACTER.  BUT THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE MADE IN THE FORM OF AN ORDINANCE.  AS EXAMPLES, ACTIONS THAT INCLUDE ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS AND CHANGES IN THE CITY'S SALARY SCDULES.  THESE ARE PURELY ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE AND NORMALLY PROCESSED AS RESOLUTIONS.  EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE LAW REQUIRES THOSE ACTIONS TO BE DONE BY ORDANCE.  SO AS A CONSEQUENCE, THESE ARE ORDINANCES THAT ARE ENACTED BY COUNL BUT NOT CODIFIED.  WE TYPICALLY DO A LARGE NUMBER OF UNCODIFIED ORDINANCES EACH YEAR.  IN 2024, THERE WERE A TOTALF 28 UNCODIFIED ORDINANCES.  THOSE ORDINANCE NUMBERS ARE, HOWEVER, REFLECTED IN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ENACTED ORDINANCES SHOWN ON THE SLIDE.  THERE ISN'T A SEPARATE INTRODUCTION FOR EACH OF THOSE.  SO THAT EXPLAINS THEISCREPANCY BETWEEN ORDINANCES INTRODUCED AND ORDINANCES ENACTED IN THE YEAR.  THE CLERKS HAVE PROVIDED SOME COMPARATIVE DATA FOR YOUR REFERENCE.  AS A VERY SIMPLE COMPARISON, YOU CAN SEE THAT IN 2024, COUNCIL INTRODUCED A TOTAL OF 48 PROPOSALS FOR ORDINANCES, BUT THERE WERE 29 ADDITIONAL INTRODUCTIONS MADE LAST YEAR THAT DIDN'T GET RESOLVED IN 2024 AND SO THEY CARRIED OVER INTO 2025.  COMBINED THAT MEANS THAT THE COUNCIL HAD 77 ORDINANCE INTRODUCTIONS IN 2024.  IN A SINGLE YEAR.  AND WHEN COMPARED TO THE 74HAT WERE MADE IN 2022 AND 2023 COMBINED, YOU CAN SEE WHY WHEN I SAID IN NOVEMBER, THE COUNCIL'S OUTPUT IN 2024 WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE.  IN FACT, THAT PACE HAS FILLED OVER INTO THE CURRENT YEAR, AS I'LL TALK ABOUT WHEN I GET TO 2025 NUMBERS.  THIS SLIDE SHOWS SIMILAR DRAFT A DRAFT FOR ENTERPRISE POLICIES, SHO ON PAGES 2 AND 3 OF THE WRITTEN REPORT.  AS YOU CAN SEE, A TOTAL OF 14 PROPOSALS FOR ENTERPRISE POLICIES INTRODUCED LAST YEAR.  AND OF THAT, A TOTAL OF 11 POLICIES WERE ADOPTED IN FINAL FORM.  THE OUTPUT IN THIS CATEGORY IS REDUCED FROM THE 2022-2023 TERM.  AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE COMPARATIVE DATA AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE.  AND I THINK, IN LARGE PART, THAT REFLECTS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CITY'S NEW GOFNING STRUCTURE.  THE MAYOR, AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, WOULD BE EXPECTED TO TAKE THE LEAD ON POLICY MAKINGARGELY FOCUSED INTERNALLY ON DEPARTMENTS.  I'D EXPECT THIS CATEGORY CONTINUES TO BE LOWER IN FUTURE REPORTING PERIODS AS A RESULT, HEVER, AS THE GOPING BODY, THERE ARE STILL OPPORTUNITY THE FOR COUNCIL TO SET PRIORITIES AND GUIDE THE OVERALL OPERATION OF THE CITY ENTERPRISE.  WHICH IS CAPTURED  AN EXAMPLE IN THESE ENTERPRISE POLICIES ADOPTED IN 2024.  OF THE TOT PROPOSALS IN 2024, 11 WERE ADOPTED.  ONE WAS VETOED BY THE MAYOR, AND THAT VETO WAS SUSTAINED BY COUNCIL.  AND ONE PROPOSAL FAILED TO SUPPORT TO MOVE OUT OF COMMITTEE.  THERE WAS ONE POLICY IN QUEUE ATHE END OF 2024, THE REMAINED UNRESOLVEDND CARRIED FORWARD INTO THE CURRENT YEAR.  AS NOTED, THERE'S COMPARATIVE DATA FOR YOU BETWEEN LAST YEAR AND THE CURRENT OR THE PREVIOUS TWO-YEAR TERM.  THIS SLIDE REFLECTS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES IN 2024.  REECTED ON PAINS 3 AND 4 OF THE WRITTEN REPORT.  LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES, ASOU KNOW, ARE FORMAL REQUESTS BY THE COUNCIL TO THE MAYOR FOR SUPPORT FOR THE COUNCIL'S LEGISLATIVE POLICY MAKING AND OVERSIGHT FUNCTIONS.  WHEN APPROVED, THE MAYOR ASSIGNS THAT REQUEST TO ONE OR MORE DEPARENTS IN THE ADMINISTRATION FOR RESPONSE.  THE POLICY ON LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE SEPARATION OF POWERS IN GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE.  WHILE PROVIDING THE MEANS FOR PRODUCTIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COUNCIL'S OFFICIAL FUNCTIONS.  IN 2024, TOTAL OF 42 LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES WERE ADOPTED.  ALL OF WHICH WERE APPROVED BY THE MAYOR OR WHICH WERE DEEMED APPROVED WITHOUT FORMAL ACTION BY THE MAYOR.  OF THAT TOTAL, 17 DIREIVES WERE CLOSED OUT LAST YEAR WITH RESPONSES OR REPORTS FROM THE DEPARTMENTS.  THAT'S A CLOSURE RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 40%.  THERE WERE 25 LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES THAT WERE STILL OPEN AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, AND THOSE CARRY FORWARDNTO THIS YEAR.  AND IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE NOTES COLUMN REFLECTS ACTIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE COUNCIL AUTHORS AND THE ADMINISTRATION TO ADVANCE THE WORK THAT IS CONTAINED IN THOSE DIRECTIVES.  AND, OF COURSE, THESE NUMBERS DON'T INCLUDE INFORMAL REQUESTS OR INQUIRIES THAT INDIVIDUAL COUNCILMEMBERS MAKE TO THE ADMINISTRATION OR TO SPECIFIC DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.  AGAIN, THE CLERKS PROVIDED SOME COMPARATIVE DATA SHOWING THE VOLUME OF DIRECTIVES FOR 2024 COMPARED TO THE PRIOR TWO YEAR TERM.  AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT VOLUME HAS SLIGHTLY INCREASED.  AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S TO BE EECTED, AS A RESULT OF THE CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE.  FINALLY THIS SLIDE SHOWS DATA ON THE NUMBER OF STAFF DIRECTIVES THAT WERE ADOPTED IN 2024.  STAFF DIRECTIVES ARE ESSENTIALLY DIRECTIONS BY THE COUNCIL TO ITS OWN STAFF IN THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT SEPARATE FROM REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT THAT ARE DIRECTED TO THE ADMINISTRATION.  IN 2024, THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 33 STAFF DIRECTIVES INTRODUCED AND APPROVED.  AND OF THAT TOTAL, 17 WERE CLOSED WITH RESPONSES OR REPORTS PROVIDED BACK OR WITH NO RESPONSE BEING REQUIRED.  AS WITH LEGISLATIVE DIRECTES, YOU CAN SEE FROM THE COMPARATIVE DATA HERE, THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STAFF DIRECTIVES LAST YEAR WHEN COMPARED TO THE PRIOR TWO-YEAR PERIOD.  AND, AGAIN, I THINK IT'S TO BE EXPECTED AND WILL BE A TREND WE SEE CARRY FORWARD IN 2025 AND FUTURE YEARS.  THE INCREASE IN THOSE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES AND STAFF DIRECTIVES ISN'T A NEGATIVE THING.  AND IS NOT OR SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AS A NEGATIVE REFLECTION ON COUNCIL.  IN FACT, IT SIMPLY CITY COUNCIL DOING ITS JOB AS THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF THE CIT  THROUGH ITS DIRECTIVES, THE COUNCIL REQUESTS SUPPORT FROM THE ADMINISTRATN OR FROM ITS OWN STAFF FOR ITS OFFICIAL FUNCTIONS.  INDIVIDUAL COUNCILMEMBERS LACK LEGAL AUTHORITY TO TAKE ACTIONS OR GIVEIRECTIONS ALL AUTHORITY OF COUNCIL IS VESTED IN THE BODY ITSELF.  AND SO THESE TYPES OF ACTIONS, DIRECTIONS, BOTH TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND TO THE STAFF AND THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT ARE HOW THE COUNCIL TAKES ACTIONS ON THOSE TYPES OF DIRECTIONS.  SO SEEING AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTIVES TO THE ADMINISTRAON, TO THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT, SHOULD BE SEEN AS CITY COUNCIL OPERATG CORRECTLY AND EFFECTIVELY AS A BODY.  AND I DO EXPECT TO SEE SIMILAR TRENDS THIS YEAR AND INTO YEARS INTO THE FUTURE.  THAT COMPLETES MY REPORT SUMMARIZING THE ACTIONS FROM LAST YEAR, MR.  CHAIRM.  NEXT I'LL TURN TO MATTERS THAT CARRIED OVER INTO THE CURRENT YEAR.  THIS WILL BE REFLECTED IN AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 7 ON THE AGENDA AND IT HAS A SARATE REPORT THAT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA PACKETS.  THE PURPOSE OF THE INITIAREPORT IS TO LEVEL SET EXPECTATIONS WITH POLICY MAKERS AS WE BEN THE FINAL YEAR IN THIS TWO-YEAR TERM.  AS YOU'LL SEE, THE QUEUE IS ALREADY QUITE FULL.  AND I AM EVER CONFIDENCE THAT THE COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION WILL TOGETHER SEE ANOTHER FULL YEAAHEAD.  WE START WITH ORDINANCES AGAIN.  I NOTED IN 2024, COUNC ENACTED A TOTAL OF 47 ORDINANCES.  IN ADDITION, I SAID THERE WERE 29 ORDINANCES THAT WERE INTRODUCED BUT NO FINAL ACTION TAKEN BY THE END OF LAST YEAR.  THOSE INTRODUCTIONS THEN HAVE CARRIED FORWARAUTOMATICALLY TO THIS YEAR.  THESE ARE LISTED ON PAGES 1 THROUGH 4 OF THE JANUARY REPORT INCLUDED YOUR BRIEFING MATERIALS.  AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, THE STATUS IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IS REFLECTED IN THE THIRD COLUMN.  IT'S IN THE NOTE SECTION ON THE FAR RIGHT WHERE ST OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT STATUS AND CONTEXT IS PROVIDED.  THAT INFORMATION COMES FROM COUNCILMEMBE WHO ARE THE AUTHORS OF THE ITEMS AND FROM THE DEPARTMENT'S WORKING ON THEM.  HAPPILY, AS YOU CAN SEE IN MOST CASES, THERE IS WORK UNDERWAY TO BRING FORWARD THESE PROPOSALS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR.  OR TO HAVE REPORTS BACK WITN THE FIRST HALF OF 2025.  WE'LL HAVE MORE UPDATES TO SHARE ABOUT THESE ITE WHEN WE PRESENT OUR FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT AT THE END OF MARCH.  IN LOOKING AT THE COMPARATIVE DATA AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE, I'LL ONLY NOTE TH WE HAVE 29 INTRODUCTIONS IN QUEUE, AT THIS STAGE.  AS WE BEGIN THE YEAR.  AND THAT'S ABOUT HALF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ORDINANCES THAT WERE ENACTED IN 2024.  SO, AGAIN, AS I NOTED, THIS IS A HIGH VOLUME OF WORK.  I THINK THAT FURTHER CONFIRMS MY PREDICTION THAT 2025 WILL BE ANOTHER VERY BUSY YEAR THAT PUSHES THE ENTERPRISE IN TERMS OF ITS CAPACITY TO RESPONSIBLE TO COUNCIL.  AS SHOWN ON THE SLIDE, THERE IS LY ONE ENTERPRISE POLICY THAT CARRIED OVER FROM 2024, AS LISTED ON PAGE 4 OF THE PRINTED REPORT.  YOU CAN SEE THIS IS ABOUT THE SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES REPORT AND THE PLAN FOR SAFETY BEYOND POLICING.  THAT MATTER WAS EVERYONE REFERRED TO THE COUNCIL'S PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE AND SET FOR DISCUSSION AT THAT BODY'S MEETING IN THE NEXT REGULAR CYCLE, ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22nd, AT 1:30.  TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE ARE NO OTHER PROPOSALS FOR ENTERPRISE POLICIES IN QUEUE AT THIS TIME.  THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE NUMBER OF PENDING LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES THAT CARRIED FORWARD FROM 2024.  WHICH YOU CAN SEE IS 25.  THESE ARE LISTED ON PAGES 4 THROUGH 6 IN THE PRINTED REPORT IN YOUR BRIEFING MATERIALS.  OF COURSE, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT MY OFFICE CLOSED THE FIRST OF THESE DIRECTIVES THIS YEAR!  THANKS TO COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. HERE WAS A PRESENTATION AT HER ADMINISTRATION AND ENTERPRISE OVERSIGHT COMMITE LAST WEEK.  IT WAS AN OVERVIEW ABOUT HOW THE CITY RECEIVES AND RESPONSE TODAY COMPREHENSIVE REPORT THAT WAS OFFERED BY ASSISTANT CITY CLERK WHO LEAVES THE GOVERNANCE DIVISION THAT INCLUDES THE TEAM RESPONSIBLE FOR CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT OF DATA REQUESTS.  ADDITIONALLY, I'M HAPPY TO NOTE OF THE 25 LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES CARRIED OVER FROM LAST YEAR, 12 HAVE INITIAL REPORT BACK DATES AT ARE SET WITHIN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR.  THAT ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT 48% OF THE CARRYOVER OF VOLUME.  AND THEN WE ALSO KNOW THATHERE ARE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER THAT ARE TEED UP FOR PRESENTATION AND REPORTS  BEYOND THAT, THERE ARE AT LEAST -- I'M SORRY, EIGHT PENDING DIRECTIVES THAT HAVE REPORT BACK DATES IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR.  SO COMBINED WITH THE FIRST 12 AND THE SECOND EIGHT, ABOUT 32% OF THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES CARRIED OVER HAVE REPORT BACK DATES ASSIGNED TO THAT.  THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO CAREFULLY MANAGE COMMITTEE SCHEDULES TO COMMITTEE CHAIRS A COUNCIL LEADERSHIP, IT'LL BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO WORK CAREFULLY ON SCHEDULING THOSE MATTERS SO WE CAN ACCOMMODATE ALL OF THAT WORK.  IF WE ARE TO STAY ON COURSE THIS YEAR.  AND THEN, FINALLY, THIS SLIDE SWS THERE ARE 16 STAFF DIRECTIVES THAT CARRIED OVER FROM 24 INTO 2025.  THESE ARE REFLECTED ON PAGES 6 AND 7 OF THE PRINTED REPORT.  OF THAT TOTAL, I'LL NOTE FOUR HAVE REPORT BK DATES IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR.  THERE ARE AN ADDITIONAL SEVEN REPORT BACK DATES IN THE SECOND QUARTER OR BEYOND.  SO ABOUT 69% OF THE TOTAL STAFF DIRECTIVES HAVE IDENTIFIED REPORT BACK DATES ALREADY SET.  THAT COMPLETES MY REVIEW OF THE ITEMS IN QUEUE AT THE START OF THE CURRENT YEAR, MR.  CHAIRMAN.  NEXT I'LL DISCUSS THE TIMING OF UPCOMING COUNCIL TRACKIN REPORTS, BUT BEFORE I DO, I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO POINT OUT THAT DATA FROM 2024, AS WELL AS THE INITIAL LEVEL SET FOR 2025 THAT I JUST PROVIDED, SHOWS THAT THERE HAS BEEN PRODUCTIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION.  IN MY COMMENTS, I HAVE CREDITED THE CITY COUNCIL WITH ENACTINA SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ORDINANCES AND TAKING ACTION ON A NUMBER OF ENTERPRISE POLIES AND DIRECTIVES.  THE COUNCIL DOES DESERVE CREDIT FOR THOSE THINGS.  I SHOULD POINT OUT THOSE SUCCESSES ARE SHARED SUCCESSES BETWEEN THE COUNCIL AND THE ADMINISTRATION.  IT'S A FACT THAT EVERY OFFICIAL ACT OF COUNCIL REFLECTS T INPUT, ADVICE, CONTRIBUTIONS OF WORK OF THE DEMOCRATS IFUR ADMINISTRATION.  AND EVERY ORDINANCE ENACTED BY COUNCIL REQUIRES THE ADMINISTRATION TO IMPLEMENT, ENFORCE, AND MANAGE ITS PROVISIONS.  THE SAME WITH EVERY POLICY, THE SAME WITH EVERY DIRECTIVE.  SO THESE REPORTS ARE NOT JUST REPORTS ABOUT COUNCIL'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS.  BUT, REALLY, SHOULD BE SEEN AS THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE ENTERPRISE WORKING TOGETHER.  AND I THINK THAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO HEAR THAT.  AS WE HEAD INTO A CITY ELECTION YEAR, I THINK THE COMMUNITY DESERVES TO KNOW ITS CITY IS WORKING AND IS ACCOMPLISHING IMPORTANT AND BIG THINGS FOR THE RESIDENTS.  AND AS THE DATA SHOWS, WE WORK BEST AS A CITY WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER.  TO BE CLEAR, I KNOW THAT EVERY MEMBER ON THE DAIS SEATED HERE TODAY OWS THAT.  I KNOW OUR DEPARTMENTS HEADS KNOW THAT, AS WELL.  SOMETIMES THE PRESSING DEMANDS AND THE NEEDS OF THE MOMENT TO MEAN THAT WE FOCUS ON THINGS THAT PROBABLY AREN'T WORKING AS WE.  OR WHERE IMPROVEMENTS COULD BE MADE.  EVEN WHILE THE MAJORITY OF THE CITY IS DOING GREAT WORK IN A PROFESSIONAL, EFFECTIVE, AND EFFICIENT MAER.  IT'S ALSO TRUE THAT OCCASIONALLY THE DRAMA OF POLITICAL THEATER MEANS WE MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT THE TRULY INCREDIBLE WORK THAT THE CITY'S 4,000 PLUS EMPLOYEES DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO MAINTAIN A GREAT COMMUNITY.  COUNCIL KNOWS THIS.  AND I'M NOT POINTING OUT THOSE THINGS FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN TO SAY COUNCIL KNOWS I'M ALSO A NATURAL CRITIC.  I DON'T HAND OUT COMPLIMENTS LIGHTLY.  BUT STANDING HERE AT THE DAIS I FEEL COMPELLED TO SAY FOR THE 25 DEPARTMENTS AND THE 4,000 PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE, THEY DO GOOD WORK EVERY DAY.  I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT.  THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REFLECT IT.  IT'S NOT JUST THE CNCIL'S WORK.  IT'S THE CITY'S WORK.  SO, FINALLY, THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE ANTICIPATED TIMELINE FOR FUTURE REPORTS.  WE ENVISION THESE REPORTS TO BE GIVEN AT THE END OF EACH QUARR.  SO THE NEXT EXPECTED REPORT WILL BE AT THE END OF MARCH.  AND I'M TARGETING WITH YOUR HELP, MR. CHAIR, THE COMMITTEE'S REGULAR MEETING FOR MARCH 25th, FOR AT PURPOSE.  THAT COMPLETES MY PREPARED COMMENTS WITH, MR.  CHAIRMAN.  I'M HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THE COMMITTEE MIGHT HAVE. >> THANK YOU.  FIRST, I'LL PASS IT ON TO PRESIDENT PAYNE.  AND I'LL KEEP ON LOOKING A THE QUEUE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  THANK YOU, MR. CLERK, FOR PUTTING THIS WORK INTO CONTEXT.  I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF NARRATIVE THAT GETS BUILT ABOUT OUR CITY AND ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENT.  THAT DOESN'T ALIGN WITH THE DATA.  THE DATA REFLECTS HIGH FUNCTIONALITY.  RIGHT.  AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IS NOT JUST BEING ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE DATA OF THE WORK OUTPUT THAT THIS BODY DOES, BUT THE OUTCOMES FOR OUR COMMUNITY.  AND MAKING THATONNECTION.  AND SO I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THIS AS THE START OF A MUCH MORE ROBUST FOUNDATION AROUND BNG ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE TO OUR COMMUNITY HOW THEIR LOCAL GOVERNME CAN IMPACT THEIR LIVES.  AND I THINK THAT GETTING THE ORDINANCES PASSED IS GOOD WORK.  DEMONSTRATING THAT THE ORDINANCES ARE CHANGING PEOPLE'S LIVES IS THE NEXT FRONTIER OF THIS WORK.  SO I'M LOOKING TO THE KINDS OF PARTNERSHIPS WE CAN HAVE WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO DENSTRATE THAT IMPACT. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.  I AGREE WITH YOU.  AS A SYSTEMS ENGINEER AND PROCESS THINKER, I KNOW YOU'LL BE VERY INTERESTED TO HELP PARTICIPATE IN HOW WE CAN CLOSE THOSE LOOPS FOR THE COMMUNITY. >> COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.  MR. CLERK, I APPRECIATE THIS REPORT.  I'M NOT SURE I CAN REMEMBER A COMPLIMENT YOU'VE GIVEN ME IN THE 10 YEARS WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER.  THAT WAS AVERN SERIOUSNESS, I AGREE WITH COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE.  THE DATA IS IMPORTANT.  BUT OUTCOMES RERTING IS THE NEXT FRONTIER IN THIS E IDEAL.  IMPORTANTLY, THIS KIND OF A PRESENTATION MAKES WE REFLECT THE WORK OF THE BODY WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE WORK OF DEDICATED CITY STAFF.  WHETHER IT'S DEPARTMENT HEADS OR FRONTLINE STAFF.  I WANT TO POINT OUT MY GRATITUDE FOR THEIR PARTNERSHIP IN THIS WORK.  THE DATA SHOWS THAT THIS IS COMING BACK TO US IN ALL OF THE MANY THINGS WE ASK THEM TO.  AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO OUR RESIDENTS ACROSS OUR CIT IS PRETTY CLEAR.  I'VE HEARD A LOT, AND I JUST NEED TO SEE THIS OUT LOUD.  I'VE HEARD A LOT OF THANKING COUNCILMEMBERS AND SELF-CONGRATULATING, FRANKLY, ACROSS THE DA IS THROUGHOUT THIS TERM.  I DO THAT, TOO.  BUT COUNCIL, THIS IS NOT DIRECTED AT ANYONE IN PARTICULAR.  WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF THIS, AT TIMES.  UNCIL OFTEN SEEMS TO CREDIT OURSELVES FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE EVOLVING OR GOING WELL IN OUR CITY.  YET I THINK WE ARE QUICK TO BLAME THE ADMINISTRATION AND OUR STAFF WHEN THINGS GO WRONG.  AND THAT'S NOT FAIR.  THAT'S NOT HONEST.  THAT'S NOTAIR.  AND THAT'S NOT HONEST.  THE TRUTH IS, OUR WORK AND OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE SHARED BETWEEN THEOUNCIL AND THE ADMINISTRATION.  I NODE TO CALL OUT BECAUSE IT'S ONLY WITHIN THE PROFESSIONALS OF THE -- WE'VE ABLE TO IMPACT THE LIVES OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE CITY.  OUR CITY DOES BETTER WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER.  SO I WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR, TODAY THIS PRESENTATION, TO ME, SHOULD THANK OUR ADMINISATION.  AND TO ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE HELPED US TO ACCOMPLISH THESE KINDS OF OUTCOMES FOR OUR RESIDENTS.  THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO -- COUNCILMEMBER JENKINS. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.  AND THANK YOU, CLERK KARL.  AND I ECHO ALL THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID THUS FAR.  INCLUDING ALL OF THE COMMENTS THAT COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO SHARED.  BUT I WANTED TO JUST TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT AND THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM.  BECAUSE THIS REPORT REFLECTS TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THE CLERK'S TEAM DOES DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ACTIONS, THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES, ALL OF THE WORK THAT THE COUNCIL DOES CREATES WORK FOR YOUR -- YOU AND YOUR TEAM.  AND IT'S BEEN OUTSTANDING.  THIS REPORT REFLECTS THAT.  SO I WANTED TO JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO OFFER THAT COMPLIMENT.  THOUGH YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN ME MANY COMPLIMENTS EITHER.  TOTALLY KIDDING!  JUST KIDDING.  AND REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM DO EACH AND EVERY DAY. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. >> COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU.  CLERK KARL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT ONLY YOUR LEADERSHIP, BUT YOUR TEAM IS JUST DOING A GREAT JOB.  AND WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBERS THAT WERE ASKED OF THEM, IT'S HARD WORK.  AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.  AND YOUR WISDOM, AS WELL,  APPRECIATED, TOO.  WHEN WE SUCCEED, WE SUCCEED AS A TEAM.  ALL TOGETHER.  WHEN THERE ARE FAILURES, WE SHARE IN THE FAILURE.  THANK YOU FOR BRINGING  UP.  KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!  WE'LL HAVE A GREAT YEAR IN 2025.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.  UMM, CLERK KARL, THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION.  UMM I -- I THINK I RECALL HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH YOU, PERHAPS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE YEAR.  JUST AROD, YOU KNOW, THE TREMENDOUS OF WORK THAT COMES OUT OF OUR CLERK'S OFFICE AND HOW IT IS, UMM, IT IS ALL PUBLIC FACING IN NATURE.  AND -- AND -- AND THE CLERK'S OFFICE, YOU KNOW, PROVIDES, UMM, CORE SERVICES LIKE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR ELECTIONS AND VOTER SERVICES DIVISION THAT INTERFACES WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS EVERY DAY.  AND SO I THINK YOU AND YOUR OFFICE UNDERSTAND IN A UNIQUE WAY THE -- THAT OUR RESIDENTS IN OUR CITY ARE ALWAYS ASKING US TO DO MORE.  DO BETTER.  BETTER MEET THEIR NEEDS.   YOU KNOW, I HAVE NEVER ONCE, UMM, LIKE, BEEN TO A COMMUNITY MEETING WHERE NO ONE HAD ANY FEEDBACK ABOUT ANYTHING WE COULD B IMPROVING ON.  UMM, AND I THINK THAT, Y KNOW, JUST -- IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A JOKE, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S TRUE.  AND I THINK THE PACE OF THE WORK WE SEE, UMM, IN REFLECTING ON THE FIRST YEAR OF THIS TERM, UMM, IS -- IS -- UMM, REFLECTIVE OF OF THE DEMANDS AND THE NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS.  AND, UMM, I FEEL GRATEFUL TOHAVH ALL OF YOU.  ALL COLLEAGUES HERE ON THE DAIS, BUT AS YOU POINTED OUT, THE 25 DEPARTMENTS AND THE 4 ,000 PLUS EMPLOYEES AT THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS IN MEETING OUR RESIDENTS' NEEDS.  AS IS OUR JOB.  AND I, UMM, AM EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THE UPCOMING YEAR BRINGS.  THANK YOU, AGAIN, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU.  NICE REMINDER, TODAY IS ELECTION DAY FOR SOM OF US.  SO GO VOTE! >>  VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  I DID NOT MEANO PUT MYSELF IN QUEUE.  BUT I'LL CERTAINLY TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY.  I APPRECIATE ALL THE GRATITUDE IT OUR CLERKS.  I KNOW THAT THIS COUNCIL TRACKING REPORT IS A NEW TOOL, AND IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME COORDINATING BETWEEN EACH OFFICE.  TALKING TO THE ADMINISTRATION, TALKING TO ATTORNEYS.  REALLY MODELING THE BR BRINGING TOGETHER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.  I HEAR US ECHOING.  AND JUST APPRECIATE IT.  I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MARCH TO SEE WHAT WE ACCOMPLISH. AND I'LL JUST NOTE TODAY THIS TOOL IS HELPFUL BECAUSE I KNOW AN ITEM I'M WAITING BACK ON, THE POLLUTION LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY STAFF TEAM ABOUT HOW WE CAN BETTER WORK TOGETHER.  BECAUSE THAT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE IS IQUE ITSELF.  IT'S, LIKE, CREATES A WORK GROUP MODEL.  AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT STEPS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE REPORT OUT TOOMMITTEES AND DO THE WORK WE NEED TOTAL APPLICANTO TO COMPLETE THE WORK.  I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE STUFF IN QUEUE CHECKED OFF AND NEW LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES ARE ENTERED IN.  I'M HELD, AS MEMBER OF THIS BODY, I'M ALWAYS HERE TO HELP SUPPORT THE WORK OF OUR CLERKS AND ADMINISTRATION TO JUST GET THE WORK DONE.  SO TH, THANK YOU.  THIS IS GREAT!. >> >>: THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.  I ALSO WANTED TO ECHO WHAT MY COLLEAGUES ARE SAYING ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE CITY STAFF.  OUR LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT THAT WORKS HD TO GET US TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE TODAY.  BUT I WANT TO THANK OUR OWN COUNCIL AIDS.  I KNOW THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HELP US ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY.  THEY HELP WORK WITH US IN DRAFTING POLICIES, ORDINANCES, DIRECTIVES.  THEY WORK HARD TO PUT THE VALUES OF OUR CONSTITUENTS INTO A PIECE OF PAPER AND PASS IT THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL.  I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THEM HERE TODAY, AS WELL.  WITH THAT, THANK YOU, CLERK KARL.  TO YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE DEPARTMENT FOR BRINGING THE PRESENTATION RWARD.  WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE.  SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.  I'M DIRECT THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE REPORTS.  ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS PART OF OUR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT DECREE SUBCOMMITTEE.  I'LL TURN IT OVER TO COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE. >> ITEM EIGHT IS THE LEGAL SETTLEMENT UPDATE.  I'LL ASK THE STAFF TO GIVE THE PRESENTATION >>  COCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBERS, KRISTIN ANDERSON, CITY ATTORNEY.  I'M DOING DOUBLE DUTY.  AND WITH ME IS ADAM, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY FROM MY OFFICE.  AND WE'RE GOING TO VY HIGH LEVEL GO THROUGH A PRESENTATION OF WHAT'S NEW IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'VE NEGOTIATED WITHHE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.  AS YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY HAVE A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON POLICE REFORM WITH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS.  THE WORK IMPLEMENTING THAT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN UNDERWAY AND ONGOING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, OR SO.  AS YOU ALL KNOW.  WE ALSO HAVE A MONITOR IN PLACE EFFECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ALL.  THAT'S GIVING US LOTS AND LOTSF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND IS MONITORINGUR PROGRESS.  BUT WE NOW HAVE THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT OF TERMS NEGOTIATED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.  AND MANY OF THE TERMS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS SETTLEMENT AGRMENT.  SOME ARE IDENTICAL.  SOME COVER THE SAME GROUND BUT GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.  A THEN THERE ARE SOME PROVISIONS THAT ARE TRULY NEW.  SO WHAT WE WANT TO TRY TO  IN THIS PRESENTATION, IS FOCUS A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THINGS THAT I WOULD PUT IN THE NEW BUCKET.  AGAIN, MAYBE NOT COMPLETELY NEW, BUT NEW REQUIRENTS.  SO ADAM IS GOING TO PRESENT ON A FEW SLIDES.  THEN I'LL MP BACK IN AND PRESENT ON A FEW SLIDES.  AND THEN HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS.  ALSO HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS AS WE'RE TALKING.  SO HOWEVER, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, YOU'D LIKE TO HANDLE THAT.  FOR NOW, OVER TO ADAM.  >>  GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBERS.  I'M GOING BEGIN TALKING ABOUT A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SECTION.  KIND OF THE FOUNDATIONAL THING THAT COMES ALONG WITH THE SECTION IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY ORIENTED FROM ORIENTED POLICING PRINCIPLES.  IT HAS TO DO WITH EXAMINING COMMUNITY PRIORITIES, AS THE SAME SUGGESTS, AND APPROACHING PROBLEMS IN THE COMMUNITY WITH AN ANALYTICAL METHOD.  THIS WILL ALSO FOCUS ON FAMILIARITY WITH THE GEOGRAPHICA -DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ON CERTAIN BUCKETS.  CERTAIN POLICY P BUCKETS FOR MPD.  THE NEXT SECTION I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS THE USE OF FORCE SECTION.  KINDS OF BIG-TICKET ITEM, I WOULD SAY, IS THE ADDITIONAL FORCE REVIEWHAT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED OR PART OF THE NSENT DECREE.  THERE ARE DIFFERENT FORCE LELS.  DIFFERENT LEVELS OF REPORTABLE FORCE.  AND DEPENDING ON WHAT THE LEVEL OF REPORTABLE FOR IS, WILL DICTATE WHAT LEVEL OF SCRUTINY, WHAT LEVEL O ADDI ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY A USE OF FORCE WILL RECEIVE THERE ARE ALSO A NUMBER OF SPECIFIC POLICIES FOR USE OF FORCE, INCLUDING HOW MPD WILL INTERACT WITH YOUTH.  AND THERE ARE OTHER YOUTH-FOCUSED PROVISIONS OF THIS CONSENT DECREE.  THE NEXT I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS FAIR AND IMPARTIAL POLICING.  I WOULD SAY THE HIGHLIGHT MPD WILL CREATE A PLAN TO ASSESS HOW ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES ADDRESS PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS AND WHETHER THEY GENERATE SIGNIFICANT RACIAL DISPARITIES.  ALONG WITH THAT ARE CERTAIN MONITORING WITH AND HOW WE COLLECT DATA RELATED TO THOSE -- RELATED TO THAT IDEA.  THERE'S ALSO A SECTION ON BODY-WORN CAMERA.  WHICH WILL CHANGE TO A 60-SECOND PREACTIVATION WINDOW FROM WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY A 30-SECOND WINDOW THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE STATE PATROL DOES RIGHT NOW.  THAT BRINGS ME TO FIRST AMENDMENT.  THIS IS ENTIRELY NEW SECTION FROM QUHAF WHAT WAIN MDHR.  IT PROVIDES PROTECTIONS FOR FIRST AMENDMENT ACTIVITIES, PROHIBITS RETALIATION, PROVIDES CERTAIN PROTECTIONS FOR JOURNALISTS, AND PROTECTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERAING MPD OR PEOPLE THAT ARE OBSERVING MPD.. >> THE NEXT SECTION I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IS A NEW SECTION DEALING WITH PEOPLE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISABILITIES.  IN THE MDHR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, O BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE IS ADDRESSED IN, REALLY, ONE PARAGRAPH.  THIS IS A SECTION THAT IS COMPREHENSIVE SECTION ON ALTERNATIVES TO POLICING AND EDUCATI POLICE.  ALL TO THE BENEFIT OF DEALING MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH SITUATIONS WHERE INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISIS RESPONSES.  SO THE PROVIONS BUILD ON OUR EXISTING MOBILE CRISIS RESPONSE, AND KIND OF GO FROM THERE.  THE PROVISIONS REQUIRE NOT ONLY A MOBE CRISIS RESPONSE, BUT TALK ABOUT JOINT RESPONSE AND SITUATIONS WHERE THERE IS TRULY A LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUE, BUT, ALSO, BEHAVIORAL HEALTHRISIS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME.  AND SORT OF WHO IS IN COMMAND OF THOSE SITUATIONS ON THE GROUND.  AND, ALSO, TALKS ABOUT REQUIREMENTS, AND THIS IS, AGAIN, VERY NEW, REQUIREMENTS FOR 9-1-1.  AND ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR OUR 9-1-1 CALL TAKERS AND DISPATCHERS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH INDIVIDUALS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISIS SITUATIONS.  ADDITIONAL NEW POSITIONS VOLUNTARY, I GUESS, ASSIGNMENTS, MAYBE IS THE RIGHT WORD, FOR THOSE CALL TAKERS AND DISPATCHERS THAT WANT TO HAVE EVEN MORE TRAINING AND CAN BE CATEGORIZED AS CRISIS RESPONSE SPECIALISTS THAT WHEN THEY'RE AVAILABLE AND CAN TAKE CALLS.  THEY HAVE THAT EXTRA LEVEL OF SPECIALIZATION TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE INDIVIDUALS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS.  AND THEN ON THE MPD SIDE, AGAIN, ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR ALL MPD OFFICERS HOW TO HANDLE BEHAVIORAL CRISIS SITUATIONS.  AND THEN ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS SPECIAL CRISIS INTERVENTION-TRAINED SPECIALISTS POLICE OFFICERSES THAT ARE GOING TO GET THAT MUCH MORE TRAINING AND THAT MUCH MORE QUALIFICATION TO DEAL WITH THOSE SUATIONS.  AND SO KIND OF THE IDEA IS THAT WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE, THE PRIORITY WOULD BE TO SEND THOSE FOLKS OUT TO CALL THAT HAS THAT THOSE SORTS OF NEEDS.  BUT ALLPD OFFICERS WILL GET THAT HIGHER LEVEL OF TRAINING.  IN ADDITION TO THOSE ENHANCED SPECIALISTS.  AND THEN THE WHOLE SECTION, REALLY, TALKSBOUT A VERY CROSS FUNCTIONAL APPROACH.  SO WEILL HAVE MPD OFFICERS TRAINING WITH THE 9-1-1 CALL TAKERS AND DISPATCHERS WHO WILL ALSO BE TRAINING WITH FIRE AND ALSO BE TRAINING WITH EMM EMT.  ALL TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE SO EVERYONE'S KIND OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALTH CRISES WILL BE HOPEFULLY NEXT LEVEL.  THE NEW PROVISIONS VERY SIMILAR TO THE MDHR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT HAVE A WHOLE SECTION ON MISCONDUCT AND ACCNTABILITY.  I'M GOING TO KIND OF TAKE A STEP BACK AND KIND OF EXPLAIN, AGAIN, HOW OUR SYSTEM COMING OUT OF THE MDHR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WORKS IN TERMS OF WHERE A COMPLAINT GETS MADE AND HOW IT GETS DEALT WITH.  IT HASN'T CHANGED UNDER THE NEW REQUIREMENTS BUT THERE Y THERE ARE TWO INVESTIGATIVE ENTITIES.  THERE IS THE OFFICE OF POLICE CONDUCT REVIEW, WHICH IS IN THE S CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT, AND THEN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION, WHICH IS IN THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT.  AND DEPENDING ON WHO THE COMPLAINTANT IS DEPEND ON WHERE THE DMAINTOES.  IF IT'S AN EXTERNAL COMPLAINT BY A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, THOSE GO THE OFFICE OF POLICE CONDUCT REVIEW.  IF IT'SN INTERNAL COMPLAINT BY ANY CITY EMPLOYEE, THEN THOSE GO TO THE IERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION.  WE ALSO HAVE THIS FIRST FILED RULE.  THERE ARE SOMETIMES CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE WE GET ME THAN ONE COMPLAINT OUT OF A PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCE AND IF THE FIRST COMPLAINT THAT WAS RECEIVED IS A CITINS COMPLAINT, THEN LATER ON THERE ARE EMPLOYEE COMPLAINTS, WHICHEVER INVESTIGATIVE ENTITY GOT THAT COMPLAINT TO BEGIN WITH, KEEPS THAT.  THE IS SOME CONTINUITY AND WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, ONE INVESTIGATIVE TITY STARTING AN INVESTIGATION AND THEN HAVING TO HAND IT OFF.  WITH THE DODGE REDOJ REQUIREMENTS, WE'RE CLEAR THAT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF POLICE OVERSIGHT, IF THEY HAVE A COMPLAINT, IT GOES TO THE OFFICE OF POLICE CONDUCT REVIEW.  WE HAVE ASSIGNED A PLACE FOR THOSE SORTS OF COMPLAINTS TO COME IN.  AS I SAID, THESE TWO INVESTIGATIVE ENTITIES, THEY DON'T COLLABORATE.  THEY DON'T DECIDE TOGETH ON WHAT TO INVESTIGATE OR NOT.  THEY BOTH HAVE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES THAT ARE ACTUALLY QUITE SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER.  IT WAS VY IMPORTANT FOR OUR MONITOR THAT WE HAVE VERY CONSISTENT PROCESSES.  BUT THE COMPLAINT COMES IN, AND THEN WHICHEVER INVESTIGATIVE ENTITY HAS THE COMPLAINT, THEN CONTINUES ON THROUGH THE PROCESS.  IN THE DOJ REQUIREMENTS THERE ARE SOME PROVISIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR DISMISSAL PRIOR TO INVESTIGATION.  AND THEY'RE QUITE LIMED.  ONE IS DISMISSAL FOR BASICALLY FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM.  SO EVEN IF THE THING HAPPENED, IT DOESN'T VIOLATE ANY POLICY.  OR, ACTUALLY, THE OFFICER AT ISSUE WAS NOT AN MPD OFFICER.  THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS Y DISMISSAL WOULD HAPPEN.  THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR VERY LOW LEVEL VIOLATIONS THAT AT THAT OPCR DIRECTOR/COMMANDER LEVEL COULD SEND THOSE OFF TO BE DEALT WITH BY THE SUPERVISOR.  AND THEN THERE IS A PROVISION FOR EXPEDITED DISPITION, WHERE ESSENTIALLY THE OFFICER ADMITS GUILT.  SAYS "YES, IID THAT THING" AND ACCEPTS DISCIPLINARY PUNISHMENT.  IN EVERY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE, HOWEVER, THE COMPLAINT THEN GOES THROUGH TO A FULL INVESTIGATION.  AGAIN, IN WHICHEVER ARM OF THE UNITS THE COMPLAINT CAME IN.  AFTER THOSE INVESTIGATIONS ARE COMPLETE, THEY'RE REVIEWED BYUPERVISORS, AND THEN UNDER THE DOJ REQUIREMENTS, THE CMANDER OF IA, OR THE DIRECTOR OF OPCR MAKES A RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER POLICIES HAVE BEEN VIOLATED.  IT'S JUST A RECOMMENDATION.  BUT IT'S INTENDED TO GIVE SOME MORE GUIDANCE TO THE REVIEW PANEL.  AND THERE'S BASICALLY FOUR CONCLUSIONS IT COULD BE SUBSTANTIATED, UNSUBSTANTIATED, EXONERATED, AND ONE OTHER.  THERARE DEFINITIONS IN THE DOJ REQUIREMENTS THAT EXPLAIN TT.  BUT, AGAIN, I INTEND TO PROVIDE NONBINDING BUT MORE GUIDANCE TO THE REVIEW PANEL.  ONCE THAT PROSS IS DONE, THE INVESTIGATION, ALL THE MATERIALS, THE SUMMARY REPORT DONE BY THE INVESTIGATOR AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE IA COMMANDER OR OPCR DIRECTOR, RESPECTFUL, GO TO THE REVIEW PANEL.  AND THE REVIEW PANEL IS THE CONSTITUTION OF THE REVIEW PANEL IS NO ADDRESSED IN DOJ.  THE FACT OF THE REVIEW PANEL IS BUT DOJ DOES NOT SAY HOW MANY PEOPLE IT NEEDS TO BE OR WHAT THE COMPOSITION.  BUT OUR OWN ORDINANCE DOES.  AND OUR ORDINCE TALKS ABOUT A FIVE-PERSON REVIEW PANEL.  TWO SWORN MEMBERS AND THREE CIVIAN MEMBERS.  AND THOSE THREE CIVILIAN MEMBERS COME FROM THE COMMUNITY COMMISSION ON POLICE OVERSIGHT.  THEYET THE MATERIALS.  THEY MEET.  THEY LOOK AT ALL OF THE -- THEY COLLABORATE OR DELIBERATE, ACTUALLY, TOGETHER.  AND THEN THEY COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION ON, AGAIN, WHETHER OR NOT POLICY HAS BEEN VIOLATED USING THOSE SAME, YOU KNOW, SUBSTANTIATED/UNSUBSTANTIATED.  THOSE SAME DEFINITIONS.  AND THEN IF THEY FIND THAT THE ALLEGATIONS ARE SUBSTANTIALUATED, THEN THEY ARE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ABOUT WHETHER THERE IS A RANGE OFDISCH THE DISCIPLINARY MATRIX.  AND THEN THAT GOES TO THE CHIEF. ULS FINAL DETERMINATION.  UMM, SO, THIS ALL WORKS VERY, VERY SIMILAR BETWEEN THE TWO AGREEMENTS.  I WOULD SAY THAT KIND OF THE NEW THING THAT I THINK IS MAYBE OF MOST INTEREST, AT LEAST TO ME, IN THE MISCONDUCT SECTION IN DOJ IS AS MORE TRACKING.  SO THAT WHEN COMPLAINTS COME IN, THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE CLASSIFIED.  THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUCKETS OF CLASSIFICATIONS AND THOSE CLASSIFICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM.  SO THEN WE CAN TRACK COMPLAINTS SORT OF BY CATEGORY.  ONCE WE GET THE DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, REALLY, SOLIDIFIED AND HAVELL THE DATA PUT INTO THE SYSTEMS.  WE'LL BE ABLE TO PULL OUT NONMAZED DATA.  SO WE CAN BE ABLE TO SAY WE HAVE THREE USE OF FORCE COMPLAINTS IN THE LAST YEAR.  AND TWO OF THEM RESULTED IN SUSPENSIONS AND ONE OF THEM RESULTED IN AERMINATION.  AND, YOU KNOW, TWO OF THEM WERE AGGRIEVED.  ET. CETERA.  SOWE'LM THE SYSTEM NUMERIC DATA ALLOWING US TO PROVIDE A LOT MORE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY'RE IDENTIFIED.  SO THAT KIND OF ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS IN DOJ WILL HELP US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE COMMUNICATION ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE MISCONDUCT SPACE.  THEN WITH RESPECT TO POLICY DELOPMENT, ADAM TOUCHED ON THIS, TO SOME DEGREE.  THERE'S GOING TO BE A NOTICING COMMENT PERIOD UNDER CONGRESS.  IDOJ.  IT'S FOR EVERY POLICY REQUIRED UNDER THEF POLICIES.  THE BUCKETS OF POLICIES HAVE A 45-DAY COMMENT PERIOD, BUT EVERY OTHER POLICY HAS A 30-DAY COMMENT PERIOD.  TRAINING ALSO ADDRESSED IN DOJ, PROBABLY, THE BIGGEST TWO FEATURES IS THAT IT CALLS FOR A CIVILIAN TRAINING DIRECTOR.  SO WE HAVE THAT CIVILIAN EXPERTISE IN THE TRAINING.  AS WELL AS OFFICER EXPERTISE.  AND THEN THERE'S A SPECIFIC PROHIBITION IN THE FIE TRAINING OFFICER SPACE THAT IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR A SERIOUS POLICY VIOLATION, THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO SERVE AS A FIELD TRAINING OFFICER.  SOME NEW PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO SUPERVISION.  IN DOJ, WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE WHAT IS CALLED UNITY OF COMMAND AND SPAN OF CONTROL, WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS THAT SUPERVISORS WILL BE GENERALLY SCHEDULED FOR THE SAME SCHEDULES AS THE OFFICERS THAT THEY SUPER SUPER VI SUPERVISE.  THERE'S A RATIO OF ONE TO EIGHT.  AND HAVING THE CONSISTENCY IN SUPERVISOR FOR THIS REQUIRES THAT SPAN OF CONTROL FOR A YEAR.  SO EVERY YEAR THERE'S NEW BIDDING THAT GOES ON.  BUT FOR THE COURSE OF A YEAR, OFFICERS WILL BE CONSISTENTLY STAFFED WITH THEIR SUPERVISOR.  A CSISTENT SUPERVISOR SO THAT SHOULD HELP SUPPORT OFFICERS AND, ALSO, ENABLE SUPERVISORS TO EFFECTIVELY AND CLOSELY SUPERVISOR.  SOME PROVISIONS ON OFF DUTY, IN PARTICULAR, THERE WILL HAVE TO BE -- EXCUSE ME, PREAPPROVAL FOR USE OF CITY EQUIPMEN  AND SUBORDINATE OFFICERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SCHEDULE SUPERIOR OFFICERS FOR OFF DUTY WORK.  FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS, AND PROMOTIONS, SIMILAR TO MDHR.  I THINK PROBABLY THE ONE SIGNIFICANT SPECIFIC CALLOUT IS SIMILAR TO ELD TRAINING OFFICERS, PEOPLE -- OFFICERS WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION, IF THEY HAVE A PENDING SERIOUS ALLEGATION OF POLICY VIOLATION.  RECRUITMENT AND HIRING IS DEALT WITH SPECIFICALLY IN DOJ.  THE'S NOT A SPECIFIC CALLOUT FOR THIS IN MDHR, BUT UNDER DOJ.  THE CITY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A ROBUST RECRUITMENT HIRING AND RETENTION PROGRAM.  COMPLETE WITH A RECRUITMENT AND HIRING PLAN.  THERE WILL BE AUAL ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HIRING RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS AND, REALLY, THE IDEA TO HAVE REALLY BROAD ROBUST OUTREACH IN THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS.  AND THEN, FINALLY, DATA MANAGEMENT NOT THAT DIFFERENT FROM MDHR.  I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE IS, REALLY, COME AROUND, AGAIN THAT DATA TRACKING AND ROBUST USE OF OUR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS SO THAT WE CAN PULL OUT DEIDENTIFIED DATA FOR REPORTING PURPOSES.  SO I KNOW THAT WAS A QUICK OVERVIEW.  THE DOCUMENT IS ABOUT 170 PAGES LONG.  SO THIS JUSTCRATCHED THE SURFACE.  THESE ARE THINGS THAT, AGAIN, I THOUGHT MIGHT BE OF GREATER INTEREST BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN SOME WAY THAN WHAT IS IN MDHR. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.  IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION?  COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.  THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.  ATTORNEY ANDERSON, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT IN ONE OF THE FIRST SLIDES ABOUT THE YOUTH INTERACTION.  I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN GO INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE INTERACTIONS WITH YOUTH.  SPECIFICALLY THE RULE OF NO HANDCUFFING MINORS 14 AND UNDER.  WAS THIS IN THE MDHR AGEMENT, AS WELL?  HOW DOES THE DOJ CONSENT DECREE DIFFER FROM WHAT WAS IN THE MDHR AGREEMENT.  ALSO, I GOT THE QUESTION FROM A CONSTITUENT.  AT TOOLS WILL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE TO IMPLEMENT APPREHEND A MINOR WHO IS UNDER 14.  MAY BE COMMITTING A CRIME OTHER THAN HANDCUFFING.  HOW WILL THEY TELL THE AGE?  WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO BE TRAINED TO KNOW THE AGE OF THE PERSON THEY'RE TRYING TO APPREHEND. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER.  LET ME PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON THE SECTION AND TRY TO ANSWER YOU QUESTIONS.  IF I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  SO THE INTERACTION -- THE INTERACTIONS WITH YOUTH SECTION PRIORITIZES ALTERNATIVES TO ARREST FOR YOUTH.  AND IT PROVIDES, LIKE, WHAT WILL PROVIDE IS SPECIFIC POLICIES ARE REQUIRED TO BE DEVELOPED AND PROTOCOLS FOR DEALING WITH THESE ENCOUNTERS WITH YOUTH.  AND THEN IT WILL ALSO REQUIRE TRAINING ON THOSE NEW POLICIES.  SO THAT'S KIND OF THE GENERAL LAYOUT FOR THAT.  IN TERMS OF HOW IT WL OFFICERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY WHETHER SOMEONE IS A YOUTH.  I BELIEVE, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THE STANDARD WAS WHAT A REASONABLE OICER WOULD KNOW THE INDIVIDUAL TO BE.  SO IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE LEGAL STANDARDS WHERE THE OFFICER MAKES AN ASSESSMENT AND THEN WE LOOK AT WHETHER THERE WAS A REASONABLE DETERMINATION.   WHAT I WILL SAY, IN TERMS OF THERE ARE SOME OVERLAPS WITH MDHR IN REQUIRING TO HAVE TRAINED -- TO TRAIN FORPECIFIC POLICIES.  I BELIEVE IT WAS NOT AS LONG, IN TERMS THERE WAS MAYBE ONLY A COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS IN THE SETTLEMT AGREEMENT WHERE THIS IS, AGAIN, NOT PAGES AND PAGES, BUT THERE ARE SOME MORE PARAGRAPHS PROVIDED ON HERE.  CERTAINLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE USE OF FORM SECTION, LAYS 0 OUT THE STANDARD FOR HOW USE OF FORCE SHOULD BE HOW FORCE CAN BE USED IN A CERTAIN SITUATION.  THE INTERACTIONS WITH YOUTH SECTION SORT OF FURTHER REFINES THAT FOR THE SPECIFIC INSTANCES.  AND, LIKE I SAID, PRIORITES ALTERNATIVES TO ARREST.  FOR THE TRAINING ITSELF, THE CONSENT DECREE REQUIRES MORE TRAINING THAN WHAT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT PROVIDES.  COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, ISHERE ANYTHING I DID NOT ADDRESS AND YOU WOULD LIKE FURER DETAIL ON? >>  YEAH.  THANK YOU FOR THAT.  I GUESS  WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES TO ARREST ARE. OW DESCRIPTIVE THAT IS.  AND THEN IF IT'S NOT AS DESCRIPTIVE, HOW WIL THE POLICY BE DEVELOPED AROUND THE ALTERNATIVES TO ARREST. >> SURE.  SO THE CONSENT DECREE COEMPLATES THINGS LIKE WARNINGS OR CITATIONS AS ALTERNATIVES TO ARRES  SO I THINK THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION.  IN TERMS OF HOW THE POLICIES DEVELOP.  THE CONSENT DECREE CONTEMPLATES A COLLABORATIVE PERIOD.  SO THERE WOULD BE A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE CITY AND DOJ.  SORT OF LIKE AN INFORMAL PROCESS OF, "AY, HERE IS THE POLICIES WE'RE THINKING ABOUT.  THERE WOULD BE SOME BACK AND FORTH ON THAT," AND THEN A FORMAL SUBMISSION TO THE MONITOR AND DOJ, AT WHICH TIME, THERE WOULD BE A PERIOD OF TIME WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMMENT ON THAT.  AND THEN THE POLICY WOULD EITHER BE PRESUMABLY LET'S SAY THE POCIES ARE THEN ADOPTED.  AFTER COMMENT FROM THE MONITOR AND FEEDBACK FROM THE DOJ.  THEY WOULD IMPLEMENT THAT POLICY.  AND THIS KIND OF GETS INTO HOW COMPLIANCE IS MEASURED.  YOU WOULD IMPLEMENT THE POLICY FOR INTERACTIONS WITH YOUTH.  IN THIS INSTANCE, THERE WOULD BE THAT TRAINING ON IT.  AND THEN THERE WOULD BE, AS CITY ATTORNEY ANDERSON GOT INTO, THAT ACCOUNTABILITY SECTION.  THE MISCONDUCT OF ACCOUNTABILITY.  THERE WOULD BE MONITORING FOR HOLDING PEOPLE AOUNTABLE TO THOSE NEW POLICIES AND TRAINING. >> OKAY.  THANK YOU.  AND THAT PROCESS FROM START TO FINISH TAKES ABOUT HOW LONG FOR THIS WHOLE, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLICY, CMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, AND FROM THE MONITOR, ADOPTION OF THE NEW POLICY AND IMPLEMENTATION WITH TRAINING.  DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATION OF HOW LONG IT TAKES? >>  COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER, I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW LONG THAT WOULD NECESSARILY TAKE.  BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PIECES OF IT THAT HAVE CERTAIN TIMELINE REQUIREMENTS.  CITY ATTORNEY ANDERSON MENTIONED, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT IF IT'S JUST A NORMAL POLICY REQUIRED BY THE DECREE, THAT HAS A 30-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.  SO TT WOULD BE FACTORED INTO THIS.  THERE'S AL KIND OF THE SUBMISSION -- THE FORMAL SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PERIOD IENTIONED, WHICH IS 30 DAYS, AS WELL.  AND THEN THERE WOULD BE PERHAPS THE NEED TO DEVELOP THE TRAINING OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.  SO I -- ALL THAT TO ILLUSTRATE IS TO I DON'T HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW LONG THAT PROCESS MIGHT TAKE.  BUT IT IS CERTAINLY A VERY INVOLVED PROCESS. >> OKAY.  THANKS!  AND THIS WILL BE A QUESTION FOR YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE, AS THE, YOU KNOW, IMPLEMENTATION, SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIR.  WHAT IDEAS DO YOU HAVE FOR, LIKE, PROJECT MANAGEMENT?  IN MAKING SURE THAT -- BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A LONG PROCESS FROM START TO FINISH.  I THINK WITHOUT OVERSIGHT OF IMPLEMENTATION AND THE STEPS ALONG THE WAY, I'M CONCERNED WITH HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE US TO IMPLEMENT THE CONSENT DECREE. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBERS.  SO, YOU KNOW, I ALSO DON'T, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, REMEMBER THE TIMELINES.  THERE ARE TIMELINES IN BOT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND IN THE CONSENT DECREE.  BUT, REALLY, TH IS WHY WE HAVE A MONITOR.   YOU KNOW, THE MONITOR IS, YOU KNOW, PART OF THEIR JOB IS TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND KEEP THE BALL ROLLING AND KEEP US ON TIME WITH THE DEADLINES.  SO WE'VE GOT LOTS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT BOTH INTERNAL AND WITH THE MONITOR GOING ON.  THROUGHOUT I JUST DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW THE DEADLINES OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.  BUT, Y KNOW, ONE OF THE, UMM, TASKS THAT THE MONITOR UNDERTOOK -- UNDER MDHR, WAS TO CREATE AN ANNUAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.  AND THE DOCUMENT IS, LIKE, BREAKS EVERYTHING DOWN INTO BITE-SIZED PIECES.  AND ASSIGNS DUE DATES AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.  YOU KNOW, THAT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.  AGAIN, I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF THESE -- IT'S A HUGE SPREAD SHEET!  AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF -- SOME OF THE NEW THINGS WITH DOJ HAVEN'T, OBVIOUSLY, NECESSARILY BEEN FACTORED IN.  BUT A LOT OF WHAT IS COVERED IN DOJ IS VERY OVERLAPPING WITH THE WORK THAT ISLREADY UNDERWAY WITH MDHR.  AS WE WERE NEGOTIATING WITH DOJ, YOU KNOW, WE WEREN'T JUST IN A SILO AND KEPT THE INFORMATION TO OURSELVES.  WE MADE SURE THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION FOLKS WERE AWARE.  YOU KNOW, THESE ARE EXTRA THINGS.  AND THEY'VE BEEN BUILDING THOSE THINGS INTO SOME OF THE POLICIES THEY'RE DRAFTING UNDER MDHR, SO IT'S NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH WITH THE DOJ REQUIREMENTS.  SOME HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.  AND A LOT IS JUST, LIKE, ADDING ON TO THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE.  AND SO, YOUNOW, ONE OF THE CHALLENGES, OF COURSE, IS PUTTING THESE TWO THINGS TOGETHER AND FIGURING OUT, LIKE, WHAT ELSE.  AND THE MONITOR WILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO TO ASSEMBLE BOTH OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER.  BUT SO MUCH OF E WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE IS TOTALLY APPLICABLE TO DOJ, AS WELL.  SO THIS IS NOT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF HALTING US IN OUR TRACKS BY ANY MEANS.  THIS WORK HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR AWHILE.  AND WE'LL KEEP ON GOING. >> THANKS.  I'LL JUST REITERATE MY EMPHASIS ON ENSURING TIMELINESS OF PROGRESS RORTS FROM THE MONITOR.  WHICH WERE ALREADY, YOU KNOW, PUSHING FOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE YEAR ONE PROGRESS REPORT.  IN FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY, IN FRONT OF COUNCIL, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MONITORS ALSO INCENTIVIZE TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.  THE SAME WAY THAT WE ARE.  AS OUR TAXPAYERS ARE, YOU KNOW, PAYING FOR ALL OF THIS.  AND I WANT TO SEE US IMPLEMEN THE CONSENT DECREE WITHIN FIVE YEARS, NOT 15.  AND HOW ARE WE PUSHING FOR THE SOONEST POSSIBLE TIMELINE ON THESE MEASURES.  THANK YOU. >> YEAH.  I'M GOING CALL ON COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY NEXT.  I'LL SPEAK TO THE SECOND HALF OF THIS.  I'LL SAY THE DIRECTIVE IS ASKING FOR QUARTERLY UPDATES AND I'M NOT SURE IF COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY WAS GOING TO SPEAK TO THAT. >> I WAS.  GREAT.  SO I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.  THIS IS ACTUALLY BUILDS UPON OUR PRIOR PRESENTATION FROM CLERK KARL.  WHERE THANKS TO THIS BODY PASSING THIS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE, WE ARE NOW ABLE TO GET REGULAR UPDATES ON BOTH THE MDHR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND NOW THE DOJ CONSENT DECREE.  AND IDEALLY, I KNOW WE'RE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH PRESIDENT PAYNE, BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN INTEGRATE UPDATES FROM ELIEFA AROUND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN INTO UPDATES THAT IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY ATRNEY'S OFFICE.  AND WHOEVER ELSE IS PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION FROM THE CITY SIDE.  SO I THINK THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE SPACE THROUGH THISEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE IN THIS UNIS COMMITTEE, WHERE THIS BODY CAN CONTINUOUSLY BE UPDATED ON THE PROGRESS AND, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO RELAYHAT INFORMATION TO OUR CONSTITUENTS IN THE PUBLIC AS A WHOLE.  BUT I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU.  I'M ALSO HAVE FUSSED AT PRESIDENT PAYNE AROUND HOW CAN WE G GET ELEFA BEFORE THE BODY AND GIVE A PRESENTATION THEMSELVES DIRECTLY.  I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY THEY CANNOT.  ESPECIALLY AS THEY HAVE RECEID $1.5 MILLION OF TAXPAYERS' RESOURCES.  AND PER THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONSENT DECREE, IF THEY ACCEPT IT, COULD RECEIVE ADDITIONAL $750,000 FOR TAKING ON THE DOJ, IF THEY WANTED TO, AS WELL, T MONITOR THIS ONE.  BUT I ALSO HAD SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, IF I COULD PROCEED WITH THAT.  AWESOME.  SO I DID WANT TO ASK MORE SO AROUND HOW IT REALITIES TO THE -- AND I MEAN THE CONSENT DECREE TO CCPO.  I THINK THERE'S BEEN A LO OF QUESTIONS THAT I RECEIVED.  ALSO, THIS PAST WEEK, A FORMER CCPO MEMBER RESIGNED AND WROTE A PRETTY PUBLIC LETTER TO THE EDITOR PIECE AROUND CONCERNS OF HOW THEY FEEL NOW THE DECENT CONSENT DECREE WEAKENS THE POWERS OF THE CCPO.  I WANT TO GIVE CLARITY TO EITHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION OR THE PUBLICE CONSENT DECREE EITHER RELATE OR COMPLEMENTS THE WORK OF THE COMMISSION.  >>  COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER.  SO I THINK THAT THE CONSENT DECREE REALLY COMPLIMENTS, YOU KNOW, -- I'LL ADDRESS KIND OF THE SPECIFIC ISSUE, BUT, UMM, THERE'S -- THERE'S A SHORT SECTION ON THE CCPO IN THE DOJ.  IT TALKS ABOUT ENSURING THAT THE CCPO HAS SUFFICIENT RESOURCES THROUGH OPCR TO DO THEIR WORK.  WHICH I THINK IS OF BENEFIT TO THE BOD  TO HAVE THOSE PROVISIONS IN THERE.  BUT I THINK THE SPECIFIC ISSUE WAS AROUND ACTUALLY THE REVIEW PANEL.  SO IT'S NOT THE CCPO AS A BODY BUT THEIR PARTICIPATION IN REVIEW PANELS AND THE THR CIVILIANS AND TWO SWORN REVIEW PANELS.  AND I THINK THAT THEONCERN WAS THE FACT THAT THEEVIEW PANELS WILL BE GETTING A RECOMMENDATION THAT STAINED/UNSUSTAINED FROM THE OPCR DIRECTOR AND FROM THE IA COMMANDERHAT THE CONCERN WAS, LIKE, DOES THAT TAKE ANY AUTHORITY AWAY FROM THE REVIE PANEL?  IT DOESN'T.  AND, REALLY, THE REASON FOR THOSE PROVISIONS WAS TO, FRANKLY, IN A LOT OF WAYS YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE COMPLAINT THAT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW I'VE HEARD AND I THINK THAT DOJ HAD HEARD, AS WELL.  IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CIVILIANS ARE COMING AT THIS WITHOUT THAT POLICE BACKGROUND AND YOU'VE GOT TWO SWORN PEOPLE AND THERE'S TOO MUCH OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SWORN FOLKS TO SORT OF TAKE AWAY THE CONVERSATION.  AND SO THE IDEA OF HAVING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEY ARE ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE OPCR DIRECTOR AND THE IA COMMANDER, IS TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD A LITTLE BIT MORE.  T GIVE EVEN THE CIVILIAN MEMBERS A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO OUR POLICIES MEAN.  WHAT DO THEY NOT MEAN.  BUT, AGAIN, THEY ARE ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS.  AND THE REVIEW PANEL DOES NOT HAVE TO GO WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS.  THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS IF THE REGARDLESS, THEY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THEIR DECISION MAKING.  IF THEY DEVIATE OM THE RECOMMENDATION.  THAT'S FINE.  THEY SHOULD EXPLAIN IT SO WE HAVE THATDOCUMD ON TO THE CHIEF.  BUT IT WAS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE HELP, FRANKLY, FOR THE CIVILIANS AS THEYO THAT WORK IN THE REVIEW PANEL.  BUT IT IS NOT BINDING. >>KAY.  THANK YOU FOR THE CLARITY.  AND THEN I DID WANT TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION AND CONTEXT SPECIFICALLY ON PROVISION 134.  GETTING INTO THE NITTY-GRITTY.  THERE'S CURRENTLY A REQUIREMENT DUE TO THE CONSENT DECREE THAT MPD MUST NOT OBSCURE THEIR IDENTIFIERS OR BADGES DURING FIRST AMENDMENT EVENTS.  RELATING TO THAT PORTION.  I WANT TO KNOW WHAT POLICY WAS IN PLACE PRIOR TO THIS.  REGARDING MPD'S, BASICALLY, NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT.  OR IF THERE WAS A POLICY IN PLACE IOR TO THIS. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBER.  SO I'LL HAVE TO ADMIT, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER MPD DID OR DIDN'T HAVE A POLICYCONSU KNOW, WHAT I WILL HIGHLIGHT IS THAT, AND WE EVEN ADDRESSED THIS KIND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DOCUMENT.  JUST BECAUSE A PROVISION IS IN THE CONSENT DECREE DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THAT MEANS THAT MPD DOESN'T ALREADY HAVE A CONSISTENT POLICY.   YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT WE KIND OF APPROACHED THESE CONSENT DECREES AND THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS THEY'RE COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTS AND LIVING DOCUMENTS.  EVEN IF, YOU KNOW, MPD HAS A COMPLIANT POLICY IN PLACE, MEANS IT HAS TO STAY COMPLIANT.  SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CURRENT POLICY IS.  I JUST KNOW THAT I CAN'T MAKE ANY ASSUMPTIONS THAT THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT POLICY THAN THIS, JUST BECAUSE IT'S IN THE CONSENT DECREE.  BUT I, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE SPECIFIC POLICY. >> RIGHT.  NOR SHOULD YOU. AND I WILL NOTE, PRESIDENT PAYNE, MAYBE FOR OUR NEXT QUARTERLY UPDATE, WE DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE FROM MPD OR THE IMPLEMENTATION TEAM HERE TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER DIRECTLY SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS.  BECAUSE I MEAN THEY'RE MOSTLY THE SUBJECT OF THIS.  CAN LIKELY SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE QUESTIONS.  AND I'LL ALREADY NOTE FOR MY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONTHIS WILL LIKELY BE A STAFF MEMO AND PROBABLY THE ONE I JUST ASKED FOR MPD.  THE NEXT QUESTION THAT I HAVE, AND I'LL SEND THIS TO YOU, ALSO.  BUT I'LL JUST STATE IT FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD.  I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO BE ABLE TO KNOW THIS, C ANDERSON.  IT'S TIED TO PROVISION 304, WHERE IT STATES FIRST LINE, "PATROL SUPERVISORS SHALL BE ASSIGNED TO SUPERVISOR NO MORE THAN EIGHT OFFICERS, ABSENT TEMPORARY DEVIATIONS TO ACCOUNT FOR INCREASED PATROL HIRING OR MINOR GAPS DUE TO TRANSFERS OR PROMOTIONS." I WANT TO KNOW IF THAT 1-TO-8 RATIO THAT IS REQUIRED.  WHAT WILL, BE THE NEW STRATEGY FOR RECRUITMENT.  ESPECIALLY UNDER OUR CURRENT POLICY CONTRACT.  ESPECIALLY SIN I BELIEVE NEW HIRES HAVE BEEN NEW CADETS.  SO I JUST WANT TO GET A SENSE OF HOW MPD WILL BE APPROACHING THEIR RECRUITMENT AND HIRING STRATEGY AROUND BASICALLY ADHERING TO THE SUPERVISION.  I DON'T THINK YOU'LL HAVE THE INFORMATION.  I'LL SEN THE QUESTION TO THE CLERKS ON THAT ONE.  THE NEXT QUESTION I DID HAVE, ACTUALLY, FOLLOWS UP TO COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN'S QUESTION AROUND ALTERNATIVES TO ARREST FOR YOUTH.  I WANT CLARIFY IF DIVERSION PROGRAMS FELL INTO THAT CATEGORY.  I BELIEVE THERE ARE PARTS IN THE CONSENT DECREE IT ENCOURAGES ALTERNATIVES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVES, AS WELL.  AND I THOUGHT IT COULD BE AN AREA, TOO.  BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PROGRAMS HERE AT THE CITY AND ALREADY WITHIN MPD.  LIKE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY AROUND THEIR JUVENILE AUTO THEFT PROGRAM  >>  I'M PAGE THROUGH TO FIND THE YOUTH SECTION AND I CAN'T FIND IT VERY QUICKLY.  THAT' YES, SORT OF THE IDEA.  IS WARNINGS AND CITATIONS ARE SPECIFIC ALTERNATIVES TO US.  BUT I THINK THE WHOLE CONCEPT HERE, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY WITH YTH, BUT ALSO WITH QUALITY OF LIFE OFFENSES IS LET'S GET CREATIVE AND THE EXTENT WE HAVE, Y KNOW, 1800 CHICAGO FOR, YOU KNOW, NOT NECESSARILY YOUTH.  BUT YOUTH LINK.  THERE ARE SO MANY RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE I OUR COMMUNITY.  SOCIAL WORKERS THROUGH TH HENNEPIN COUNTY.  WE HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF RESOURCES.  NONLAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES.  AND SO WHAT THE CONSENT DECREE IS PROMPTING US TO DO IS TO THINK MORE BROADLY.  THINK MORE BIG PICTURE.  AND IDENTIFY, YOU KNOW, THROUGH POLICY, THROUGH TRAINING, THROUGH COLLABORATION, AND A LOT OF WHAT WE SEE IN THE CONSENT DECREE REQUIRES US TO GETNPUT FROM COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHEN WE'RE BUILDING TRAINING.  AND A LOT MORE, YOU KNOW, INTER -- AH, INTERCLASSIFICATION COMMUNICATION SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, OFFICERS KNOW WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE.  SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO DIVERT, YOU KNOW, DIVERT YOUTH, DIVERT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN QUALITY OF LIFE OFFENSES TO OTHER RESOURCES.  SO 'RE NOT USING, YOU KNOW, ARREST IS ONLY ONE NECESSARY SORT OF SITUATION WITH, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY YOUTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OFFENSES.  IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY.  MAYBE NOT DIFFERENT.  MAYBET'S NOT FAIR.  IT'S A WAY OF THINKING ABOUT WHAT OUR HOLISTIC RESOURCES ARE AND WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE THAT COULD BE IN THE NATURE OF DIVERSION. >>  GOOD TO KNOW.  I KNOW THAT'S AN AREA OF FOCUS IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE, TOO.  WHERE I THINK -- I DON'T RECALL IF IT'S PRESIDENT PAYNE AND COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ, W WHERE YOU'LL BE HAVING DRAFT STAFF MOTION OR LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE COMING BACK IN THE COMING WEEKS ON.  SORRY.  IT MIGHT BE YOU.  BUT ONE OF OUR COUNCILMEMBERS DID HAVE A LEGISLATIVE MOTION COMING BACK WITH I THINK ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS.  FORK ADOLESCENCES EXPERIENCING CONTACT WITH THE IMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.  IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY, TOO.  THAT NEXT I ALSO WANT TO LOOK BACK TO ANOTHERPOIN RAISED.  THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE SHARED.  I DO OFTEN GET IRRITATED WHEN I HEAR THE STATEMENT AROUND, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD COMPLETELY EXPECT TO BE ESSENTIALLY, LIKE, I THE CONSENT DECREE OR EVEN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT FOR 20 YEARS,R SO.  THAT'S TYPICALLY BEEN THE STANDARD FOR OTHER CITIES WHERE THEY'VE BEEN IN THESE PROCESSES OR AGREEMENTS FOR 12 PLUS YEARS.  A HAVE SPENT TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON IT.  AND I THINK THAT'S A SCAPEGOAT PROCESS.  WE SHOULD NOT SET THAT AS AN EXPECTATION FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.  WE'VE EXPERIENCED MISMANAGEMENT OF IT FOR FAR TOO LONG.  AND SHOULD NOT ELONGATE THE PROCESS.  IT ONLY DOES A DISSERVICE TO OUR RESIDENTS.  I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COMPLIANCE WITH BOTH AGREEMENTS FOR, YOU KNOW, AS QCKLY AS POSSIBLE RESPONSE THAT WE ARE OUT OF HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  AND TO HAVE THAT BE MAINTAINED INTO  LONGEVITY.  I THINK THAT'S ABSOLUTELY POSSIE.  THEY HAVE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT BUDGET TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.  AND WITH THAT SAID, I DID WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT MORE SOME OF THE REALLY GOOD TERMINATION PROVISIONS THAT YOU ALSO WAS ABLE TO GET EMBEDDED IN THE CONSENT DECREE PROCESS.  AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION AROUND BEING ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE SECTIONAL TERMINATION.  IFYE ABOUT THAT, TOO. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILMEMBEWONSLEY, YEAH.  AND THIS IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMILAR TO THE MDHR AGREEMENT.  THERE'S A CONCEPT OF PARTIAL TERMINATION, WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS THAT IF WE ARE ABLE TO -- IT'S ALWAYS THE CITY'S BURDEN TO PROVE THAT THAT WE'VE SUSTAINED, ACHIEVED AND SUSTAINED FULL AND EFFECTIVE COMPLIANCE.  IF WE CAN DO AN ENTIRE SECTION.  SO MAYBE WE ARE NOT IN COMPLETE COMPLIANCE ON BODY-WORN CAMERA YET BUT DONE EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO ON USE OF FORCE.  WE CAN REQUEST FOR USE OF FORCE.  I CAN SHOW WE'VE ATTAINED COMPLIANCE AND WE'VE MAINTAINED IT FOR THE R R RECK SIT PERIOD UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS.  IT'S USUALLY TWO YEARS.  SOME IT'S ONE. F WE CAN SHOW THAT AND SUSTAIN THE BURDEN AND SHOW WE'VE GOT THERE.  WE MAINTAINED IT.  WE HELD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR TWO SOLID YEARS.  THEN WE CAN GET THAT WHOLE DISCREET SECTION IS HOW IT'S REFERRED TO IN THE CONSENT DECREE.  WE CAN GET IT TERMINATED.  SO THERE'S NO MORE MONITORING DONE WITH THAT.  THE OTHER PROVISION THAT WE NEGOTIATED, AS I SAID, HUE MDHR AND CONGRESS FI -- DOJ FIT TOGETHER.  THEY'RE NOT IN EXACT FIT.  THEY BOTH HAVE A USE OF FORCE SECTION.  DOJ'S SECTION BUILDS UPON, I WOULD SAY, HAS SOME ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS ABOVE AND BEYOND MDHR FOR USE OF FORCE.  SO WE COULD, THEORETICALLY, BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO PROVE THAT WE'RE IN FULL AND EFFECTIVE COMPLIANCE WITH THE WHOLE USE OF FORCE SECTION UER THE MDHR AGREEMENT.  BUT WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE BECAU OF FEW EXTRA THINGS IN DOJ'S USE OF FORCE SECTION, BUT WE HAVE PROVISIS IN DOJ THAT WOULD BASICALLY SAY TO THE MONITOR, MONITOR, YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THIS NOW.  NOW THAT WE'VE GOTTEN, YOU KNOW, PARTIAL TERMINATION OF THE SIMILAR PROVISION IN MDHR AND FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S A WAY TO BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE WITH THE MONITORING. ND THAT COULD INCLUDE ACTUALLY NOT MONITORING THINGS WE HAVE ALREADY SHOWN WE ARE -- THE WHOLE P SECTION DOESN'T TERMINATE.  IT COULD BE THAT THE MONITORING WOULD SLOW DOWN.  IT'S ENFORCEABLE.  IF, FOR SOME REASON, WE, YOU KNOW, WE SHOWED COMPLIANCE BUT WE SLIPPED AND BACK TO NONCOMPLIANCE BECAUSE IT'S STILL PART OF THE CONSENT DECREE, THEN THE MONITOR WOULD GO BACK TO MONITORING THOSE THINGS.  IT GIVES A FLEXIBLE APPROACH FOR THE MONITOR TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF COORDINATE THESE TWO AGREEMENTS AND TO BE AS COST EFFECTIVE ON THE MONITORING AS POSSIBLE. >>  THANK YOU SO MUCH.  THAT'S ALL THE QUEIONS I HAVE. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY.  THANK YOU, MADAM CITY TORNEY.  I'LL ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS WORK IS GOING TO SPAN CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT, PARTNERING WITH ELEFA YOU KNOW, STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY AND COMMISSION ON POLICE OVERSIGHT.  AND I THINK THAT THIS SUBCOMMITTEE CAN BE A VENUE TO BRING THOSE SILOS TOGETHER SWE CAN GET A MORE COMPREHENSIVE VIEW.  THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE SETS THE FOUNDATION.  TODAY'S PRESENTION IS VERY MUCH AN OVERVIEW.  BUT THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE GOT INTO MORE SPECIFICS AROUND BUDGET YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE ALLOCATING PER OGRAM.  WE WANT TO SEE WHAT WE'RE SPENDING ON EACH OF THOSE DIFFERENT INITIATIVES.  AND I THINK WE'LHAVE USED THIS AS A VENUE TO BUILD THE MORE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT BACK OUT.  ESPECIALLY AS WE THINK ABOUT THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF ELF EFA AND THE LEGISLATIVE SIDE.  THAT CAN HELP MAYBE CONNECT SOME OF THOSE PCES, AS WELL.  AND CONNECT ALL THE PIECES TO STRONGER AWARENESS TO OUR COMMUNITY.  THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT WE WANT TO GET TO.  THE COMMUNITY CAN SEE WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE ON TRACK WITH SOME OF THE REFORMS.  THANK YOU.  I'LL DIRECT THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THAT REPORT.  AND RETURN BACK TO COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PAYNE.  NEXT WE'LL RECEIVE REPORTS FROM THE STANDING COMMITTEES ON MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE FULL COUNCIL THIS THURSDAY.  FIRST, WE'LL BEGIN WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENTERPRISE OVERSIGHT COMMITE CHAIRED BY COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY. >> >>  THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  THE ENTERPRISE -- SRY.

SO WITH ITEM EIGHT, WE WERE WAITING T HEAR BACK FROM AMY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE GOING TO PAY IT.  THEY SAID THEY WERE -- IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO BY COUNCIL THIS THURSDAY.

AND WE ALSO HEARD THAT IF THE TAX CLEARANCE CAN'T BE SUBMITTED BY THURSDAY, IT WOULD BE PREFERABLE I CAN'T PREFERABLE TO WITHDRAWAL RATHER THAN REVOKE.  SO WHEN THEY COME TO OPEN IN THE SPRING AGAIN, THEY'RE CLOSED FOR THE WINTER.  WHEN THEY OPEN INHE SPRING, THEY CAN APPLY AND GET IT SORTED OUT.  WITHDRAWAL OF A BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION LOOKS BETTER ON THE RECORD RATHER THAN A REVOCATION.  WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS GETTING THEIR DOCUMENTATION IN ORDER. SE SPRING.  ON THE LAKE.  AND WE WILL WORK VERY HARD TO GET THAT DOWN IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS BEFORE COUNCIL. >> PERFECT.  I WAS MOVED WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.

OR WOULD BE BRINGING FORWARD AN ACTION AT FULL COUNCIL? >>  MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT PER STATE STATUTE, WE'RE REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH THE BUSINESS LICENSE WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DAYS.  SO WE DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO SEND IT BACK TO COMMITTEE.  WE HAVE TO DISPOSE OF IT THIS THURSDAY. >> SO THEN AT COMMITTEE, WE WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO WITHDRAWAL, IF THAT WAS THE CASE.  IF THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FULFILL THE DUTIES. >> COUNCILMEER WITHDRAWAL OR DELETE FROM THE AGENDA.  IF WE HEAR BACK ABOUT ANYTHING ANY PAYMENT HAPPENING ON THEIR END. >> OKAY.  THANK YOU.  YEAH.  IT WOULD BE GOOD FO US TO CLARIFY WHAT ACTIONS WE NEED TO TAKE PRIOR TO FULL COUNCIL. >>  ALL RIGHT.  ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?  NO ONE IS IN QUEUE.
