20
00:05:33.350 --> 00:05:49.683
CARRIES. ITEM 12 IS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CONCEALMENT OF IDENTITY ORDINANCE, WHICH IS A SEPARATE ORDINANCE FROM THE ONE THAT WE HAVE TODAY. I AM GOING TO MOVE TO POSTPONE THIS TO THE NEXT PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE, WHICH IS JUNE 17, 2026.  AND AS THE AUTHORS AND MYSELF CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ON A PATHWAY

21
00:05:49.683 --> 00:06:06.383
FORWARD FOR THIS ORDINANCE.  IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE? COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  I JUST GRATEFUL FOR YOU TAKING THE LEAD ON THIS.  I'LL NEVER FORGET WAKING UP TO THE NEWS THAT

22
00:06:06.383 --> 00:06:22.250
MELISSA HORTMAN WAS ASSASSINATED AND HER KILLER WAS STILL ON THE LOOSE. IT IS COMPLETELY -- I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BOTH WAKE UP TO THAT TYPE OF NEWS AND THEN LIVE

23
00:06:22.250 --> 00:06:38.883
THROUGH AN OCCUPATION BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NOT KNOW WHO WAS LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHO WASN'T LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHO ARE YOU SAFE TO BE AROUND, WHO ARE YOU NOT SAFE TO BE AROUND.  AND I THINK THAT IT JUST COMPLETELY DISMANTLES ANY CONCEPT OF TRUST IN GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW FOR THAT

24
00:06:38.883 --> 00:06:55.216
KIND OF CONDUCT.  AND SO I'M JUST GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE USING ALL OF OUR POWER AT THE LOCAL LEVEL TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.  SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.  COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. JUST A QUESTION.  DID YOU SAY YOU'RE MOVING THIS BACK ONE MORE

25
00:06:55.216 --> 00:07:11.816
CYCLE? >> YEAH, SO I WOULD BE MOVING TO POSTPONE ANY ACTION ON THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AS THE AUTHORS CONTINUE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. >> OKAY, AND YOU AND I HAD DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS.  IS THIS THE LARGER -- >> YES. >> OKAY. >> CORRECT. >> THANK YOU.

26
00:07:11.816 --> 00:07:26.516
>> TODAY THERE WOULD BE NO ACTION ON IT AS AUTHORS ARE STILL NAVIGATING THE BROADER ORDINANCE TO SPEAK INTO MORE DETAILS TODAY, BUT SEPARATE FROM THE ITEM JUST FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW AND THE ONE WE'RE HAVING TODAY.  SO PLEASE STAY IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. YES.

27
00:07:26.516 --> 00:07:44.416
>> SO DO WE THINK, LIKE, THE TWO WEEKS IS GOING TO MAKE A CHANGE OR IS THIS A MONTH OUT THING MAYBE? >> A WE JUST NEEDED THAT TIME TODAY.  WE JUST NEEDED TWO WEEKS SO AS AUTHORS WE COLLECT OURSELVES AND FIGURE OUT NEXT STEPS. >> GOT IT.  THANK YOU.

28
00:07:44.416 --> 00:08:01.950
>> THANK YOU.  OEN THAT MOTION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY.  ANY ABSTENTIONS?  THAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA THE NEXT CYCLE AS AN ITEM, NOT A PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES.  NEXT

29
00:08:01.950 --> 00:08:17.733
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE UP OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS REFLECTED IN ITEMS NUMBER ONE AND TWO ON THE AGENDA. ANYBODY WHO SIGNED UP FOR THESE ITEMS WILL BE GIVEN TWO MINUTES EACH TO TESTIFY.  IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE SEE YOUR CLERKS AT THE REGISTRATION TABLE OUTSIDE.  FOR EVERYONE IN

30
00:08:17.733 --> 00:08:34.366
ATTENDANCE, AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO MAY PARTICIPATE IN OUR HEARINGS OR COMMENT PERIOD, LET ME OFFER THIS NOTICE.  THESE HEARINGS ARE BEING RECORDED AND BROADCASTED.  BOTH THE RECORDING AND THE BROADCAST ARE CLASSIFIED AS PUBLIC DATA UNDER THE MINNESOTA GOVERNMENT DATA PRACTICES ACT.  BY ATTENDING AND

31
00:08:34.366 --> 00:08:50.966
PARTICIPATING IN THESE PROCEEDIS, YOUR IMAGE AND ANY TESTIMONY OR INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE WILL ALSO BE SUBJECT TO DISCLOTURE UNDER THE LAW. THAT INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO YOUR ATTENDANCE, YOUR NAME, AND OTHER PERSONAL DETAILS YOU PROVIDE, AS WELL AS ANY TESTIMONY OR COMMENTS YOU PRIDE WHICH INCLUDES ANY WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS YOU MAKE,

32
00:08:50.966 --> 00:09:06.233
WHICH ARE INCLUDED FOR THE RECORD OF THIS MEETING. OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING IS FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENTS ORDINANCE.  I WILL SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. SO WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR THE PRESENTATION TO COME UP. COLLEAGUES, THIS IS THE LAW

33
00:09:06.233 --> 00:09:21.933
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENTS ACCOUNTABILITY ORDINANCE THORED BY MYSELF, COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI, AND COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN.  THIS ORDINANCE PROHIBITS THE CITY FROM ENTERING INTO OR AMENDING A LAW ENFORCEMENT JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT UNLESS AN AGENCY'S OFFICERS ARE PROHIBITED

34
00:09:21.933 --> 00:09:38.966
FROM CONCEALING THEIR IDENTITY WHILE PERFORMING ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLI THIS APPLIES REGARDLESS OF DOLLAR AMOUNT. ANDT REQUIRES THAT A REQUEST FOR JPA APPROVAL MUST DISCLOSE WHETHER THE AGENCY HAS A CONCEALMENT POLICY AND WHETHER

35
00:09:38.966 --> 00:09:55.816
THE AGENCY WILL APPLY THE POLICY OPERATING WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE AGENCY IS OPERATING UNDER THE TERMS OF THE PROPOSED J.P.A. THIS SLIDE INCLUDES AMENDMENTS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING DAY. THE PROHIBITION CONTAINS THE

36
00:09:55.816 --> 00:10:12.033
FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS WHEN AN OFFICE IS ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN AND PERFORMING THE RESPONSIBILITIES ANDFURTHERANCE OF AN UNDERCOVER ASSIGNMENT. HOWEVER T LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY WOULD NEED TO DEMONSTRATE AT THAT TIME THE OFFICER WAS MASKED, THEY WERE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN AND PERFORMING WORK AND IN FURTHERANCE OF AN

37
00:10:12.033 --> 00:10:27.833
UNDERCOVER ASSIGNMENT.  WEARING A SHIELD OR EYE PROTECTION THAT DOES NOT CONCEAL THE OFFICER'S FACE, WEARING A MEDICAL OR FACIAL COVERING TO PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE, INFECTION OR BODILY FLUIDS AND DURING MEDICAL CALLS, EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OR OTHER INTERACTIONS WHERE PROTECTION OF THE OFFICER,

38
00:10:27.833 --> 00:10:42.866
INDIVIDUAL, OR PUBLIC IS REASONABLY NECESSARY.  WEARING AIR PURIFIER RESPIRATORS, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND WEARING A HELMET ASSIGNED TO SPECIAL WEAPONS AND

39
00:10:42.866 --> 00:10:59.800
TACTICAL TEAM UNIT, SO THE S.W.A.T. WEARING FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER WITH OFFICERS' NAMES AND BADGE NUMBER AFFIXED, WHICH HAS THE SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF WHEN THAT EXCEPTION WOULD BE INCLUDED. AND ACTIVELY COLLECTING EVIDENCE OR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS AT A CRIME

40
00:10:59.800 --> 00:11:18.333
SCENE. SO THIS ORDINANCE IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE CITY CAN ENSURE THAT WHEN IT ENTERS INTO J.P.A.s WITH DIFFERENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, THOSE OFFICERS ARE IDENTIFIED TO THE PUBLIC AND THE AGENCIES ACTING

41
00:11:18.333 --> 00:11:34.800
UNDER THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT ARE NOT CONCEALING THEIR IDENTITIES EXCEPT FOR THE FEW EXCEPTIONS.  AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT RESIDENTS RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO ARE SWORN TO PROTECT AND SERVE THEM TO BE ABLE TO REPORT ANY POLICE MISCONDUCT THAT MAY OCCUR. THIS ORDINANCE IS EFFECTIVE FOR

42
00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:52.466
J.P.A.s ENTERED OR AMENDED ON OR AFTER AUGUST 31, 2026. AND I WILL SAY THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT EVERYTHING THAT COMMUNITY HAS BEEN ASKING FOR OR ADVOCATING FOR, BUT I WILL SAY IT'S A START.  AND YOU HAVE MY COMMIT TONIGHT CONTINUE FINDING A PATHWAY FOR THE MORE BROAD

43
00:11:52.466 --> 00:12:08.133
MASKING ORDINANCE THAT FOLKS HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THE PAST YEAR AND BEYOND. WE KNOW THAT THIS ORDINANCE IS LIMITED IN SCOPE, BUT IT IS STILL VERY IMPORTANT. AND I JUST WANT TO REALLY START WI THAT. SO WITH THAT, COLLEAGUES, WE'LL

44
00:12:08.133 --> 00:12:20.300
OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT YOU MAY HAVE.  AND I'LL SEE IF ANYBODY IS SIGNED UP.  THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR STEVENSON.  THE FIRST PERSON WE HAVE TODAY IS YAN, AND

45
00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:40.300
IF I MISPRONOUNCED YOUR NAME, P. >> DO I START?  HELLO, COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS TOPIC.  MY NAME IS PRONOUNCED JA BUT IT'S

46
00:12:40.300 --> 00:12:56.933
OKAY.  I'D LIKE TO SPEAK OUT IN FAVOR OF THIS NEW POLICY.  I DO THINK THAT IT DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH IN TERMS OF PROTECTING THE CITIZENS WHO BH LIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS OR MYSELF WHO FREQUENTLY COMMUTE TO AND D

47
00:12:56.933 --> 00:13:14.433
BUSINESS IN THE CITY.  TODAY IS JUNE 3, AND I THINK IT'S PERTINENT TO REMEMBER THAT JUNE 3 LAST YEAR WAS WHEN THE FIRST MAJOR OPERATION OCCURRED AT LAKE

48
00:13:14.433 --> 00:13:30.516
AND BLOOMINGTON WHERE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, NEIGHBORS CAME OUT TO PROTEST UNDISCLOSED FEDERAL ACTIONS FROM MULTIPLE AGENCIES WHO WERE ALL WEARING MASKS TO OBSCURE THEIR IDENTITIES.

49
00:13:30.516 --> 00:13:47.233
IN VERY NONUNIFORM WAYS, SO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT I'M READING ABOUT IN THE EXISTING TEXT WOULD HAVE STOPPED THOSE ACTIONS A YEAR AGO.  THE PROBLEM THAT I SEE WITH THIS IS THAT UNLIKE THE PROVISIONHAT WAS

50
00:13:47.233 --> 00:14:04.250
PASSED IN ST. PAUL, WHICH I SEE THAT MUCH OF THE LANGUAGE IS MODELLED AFTER, THERE IS NO SPECIFICS ABOUT HOW THE CITY IS GOING TO ENGAGE WITH FEDERAL OFFICERS IN SORT OF REGULATING THIS BEHAVIOR WITHIN THE CITY EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT COMING FROM

51
00:14:04.250 --> 00:14:21.400
CITY POLICE. SO THAT THING IS DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE AMENDED TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF PATHWAY TO PREVENTING ANYORT OF AGENCY FROM OPERATING WITH FACIAL

52
00:14:21.400 --> 00:14:37.316
COVERINGS THAT OBSCURE THEIR IDENTITY AND PREVENT ANY SORT OF ACCOUNTABILITY ON OUR END.  AND I THINK THE CITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO, LIKE, IMPROVE THE LANGUAGE IN ORDER TO ADOPT THIS AMENDMENT.  THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.  NEXT UP WE HAVE

53
00:14:37.316 --> 00:14:57.133
ALVIN. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAVEZ.  I AM ALVIN AND I AM A CONSTITUENT OF MINNEAPOLIS WARD TWO.  I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF THE MINNESOTA IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ACTION COMMITTEE. I AM HERE TO VOICE OUR STRONG

54
00:14:57.133 --> 00:15:13.333
SUPPORT FOR THE ORDINANCE TO RESTRICT MASKS.  TO THIS DAY, WE'RE STILL STRUGGLING TO GET JUSTICE FOR RENEE GOOD, ALEX AND THREE AGENTS KILLED BY I.C.E.

55
00:15:13.333 --> 00:15:28.766
DURING OPERATION METRO SURGE. IT IS EXTREMELY CLEAR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL DO ANYTHING TO ESCAPE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CRIMES FROM PEDOPHILIA, CORRUPTION AND MURDER.  AND THE OWNERS OF LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT TOTOP ENABLING FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS, FEDERAL AGENTS, TO ABUSE OUR

56
00:15:28.766 --> 00:15:45.600
COMMUNITIES AND GET AWAY WITH IT.  CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR FREY, DO RIGHT BY THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN TERRORIZED AND MURDERED IN YOUR CITY AND PASS THIS ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE MASKING REGULATIONS FROM ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY THE CITY PARTNERS WITH. AND THAT SHOULD ONLY BE THE

57
00:15:45.600 --> 00:16:02.533
FIRST STEP.  WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD TO BAN SECRET POLICE IN OUR CITY ENTIRELY.  ST. PAUL HAS ALREADY ENACTED A POLICY OF REQUIRING ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS CONDUCTING OPERATIONS IN THEIR CITY TO DO SO WITHOUT A MASK OR FACIAL COVERING MONTHS AGO.

58
00:16:02.533 --> 00:16:19.266
IT IS FRANKLY EMBARRASSING THAT THE CITY THAT HAS FACED THE BRUNT OF OPERATION METRO SURGE AND STILL DEBATING THIS TOPIC. FROM OUR CAMPAIGN LAST FALL WHERE MIRAC SUCCESSFULLY PUSHED FOR A STRONGER SEPARATION ORDINANCEN MINNEAPOLIS, WE ARE ALL TOO AWARE OF THE IMMENSE

59
00:16:19.266 --> 00:16:35.500
AMOUNT OF PRESSURE NEEDED TO GET MAYOR FREY AND OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. TH'S WHY MIRAC IS CONTINUING OUR MOMENTUM WITH THE SANCTUARY STATE NOW CAMPAIGN WHERE WE ARE PUSHING WALLS AND THE GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TO ENACT STATEWIDE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES FROM THE

60
00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:49.266
VIOLENCE OF IMMIGRATION ENRCEMENT, LIKE BANNING COLLABORATION WITH THE LOCAL AGENCIES AND I.C.E. AND BANNING THE MASKS OF FEDERAL TH AS. THEREFORE, WE STRONGLY SUPPORT POLICIES LIKE THIS.  THANK YOU.

61
00:16:49.266 --> 00:17:08.633
>> NEXT UP WE HAVE SALLY. >> WELCOME. >> HI THERE.  MY NAME IS SALLY LIEBERMAN.  I'M A LIFE LONG MINNEAPO

62
00:17:08.633 --> 00:17:22.966
MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENT.  I LIVE IN WARD 12. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR, AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS FOR LISTENING. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS ORDINANCE AMENNG THE CITY'S CODE SO THAT THE

63
00:17:22.966 --> 00:17:40.233
AGREEMENTS DISALLOW CONCEALMENT OF THE IDENTITY.  I AMS ALSO VERY MUCH AWARE THAT TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE INCIDENT AT LAKE AND BOMINGTON THAT FOR MANY OF US SOUTH SIDERS MARKED THE BEGINNING OF WHAT WE NOW

64
00:17:40.233 --> 00:17:56.133
USUALLY REFER TO AS METRO SURGE. THE ISSUE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL CONCEALING THEIR IDENTITYS IS UNFORTUNATELY SOMETHING WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH DUE TO THE BEHAVIOR OF FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCERS DURING OPERATION METRO SURGE.  WE HAVE SEEN WITH OUR OWN EYES HOW WEANG MASKS CAN

65
00:17:56.133 --> 00:18:11.733
BE USED AS A FORM OF INTIMIDATION, ESPECIALLY AGAINST IMMIGRANTS AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.  WHAVE ALSO SEEN A DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN IDENTITY CONCEALMENT AND LAWLESS BEHAVIOR ON THE PART OF LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM RUNNING RED

66
00:18:11.733 --> 00:18:28.233
LIGHTS TO RACIAL PROFILING, TO ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND PHYSICAL HARM, TO VIOLATIONS OF OUR FIRST AND FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS.  I ALSO BELIEVE WE SHOULD ALL BE CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR IDENTITY CCEALMENT TO BECOME NORMALIZED AND TO CREEP INTO

67
00:18:28.233 --> 00:18:44.233
LOCAL POLICING. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN RESPONDING TO A PROTEST AT THE WHIPPLE BUILDINGRECENTLY, HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES WERE CAUGHT ON FILM WEARING I.C.E. STYLE FACE COVERINGS WHILE BEING VIOLENT TOWARDS PROTESTORS. WHEN OUR CITY ENTERS INTO

68
00:18:44.233 --> 00:19:01.200
AGREEMENTS WITH COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT OR NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS, THOSE AGENCIES SHOULD FOLLOW BASIC M.P.D. STANDARD.  OFFICERS SHOW FACES, HAVE BADGE, AND ALWAYS ANSWER THE QUESTION, WHAT IS YOUR NAME? WHEN WE ARE BEING POLICED AND WE

69
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:17.766
DON'T KNOW WHO IS POLICING US, AT IS NOT PUBLIC SAFETY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.  NEXT UP WE HAVE DREW. >> THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY.  MY NAME IS DREW.  I AM PROUD MEMBER OF MINNESOTA 5051 AND I ALSO WANT TO SPEAK IN

70
00:19:17.766 --> 00:19:34.433
SUPPORT OF THIS ORDINANCE.  I AGREE WITH SE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WENT BEFORE PE THAT IT DOESN'T QUITE GO FAR MUFF IN ADDRESSING SOME OF THE -- FAR ENOUGH IN ADDRESSING SOME OF THE CONCERNS, BUT YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.  SO THERE'S LOT OF AGREEMENT HERE ON WHY WE NEED THIS, BUT HERE'S WHY THE CITY SHOULD PASS IT BECAUSE I'VE ALSO

71
00:19:34.433 --> 00:19:50.800
HEARD, LIKE, BUT THIS ONLY AFFECTS THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. IT'S NOT GOING DO DO THAT MUCH, BUT AGAIN, WE'VE GOT TO START SOMEWHERE BECAUSE WE'RE LOSING FAITH IN OUR CITY GOVERNMENT, RIGHT?  WE JUST WENT THROUGH OPERATION METRO SURGE, AND A LOT OF US WHO WERE, YOU KNOW, FACE TO FACE WITH I.C.E. DURING THAT

72
00:19:50.800 --> 00:20:07.033
TIME FELT UTTERLY ABANDONED BY OUR CITY AND BY OUR COUNTY AND STATE GOVERNMENT. SO THIS IS A REALLY GREAT STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, RIGHT? MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE LISTENING TO THE CONSTITUENTS AND HEARING PEOPLE, AND HEARING OUR CONCERNS BECAUSE, AGAIN, LIKE, WE CANNOT HAVE MASKED POLICE.

73
00:20:07.033 --> 00:20:22.100
I EVEN THINK SOME OF THAT IN THAT ORDINANCE, RIGHT?  IF THEY'RE SICK,TAY HOME.  DON'T WEAR A MASK.  I CAN SEE THE I.C.E. AGENTS SAYING TY ARE AFRAID OF GETTING SICK AND WEARING MASKS, RIGHT?  MAKE IT STRONGER IF YOU CAN, BUT START HERE.  IT'S A GREAT START.

74
00:20:22.100 --> 00:20:38.900
AND AGAIN, WORK TOWARDS GETTING C.E. OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS PERIOD, RIGHT?  BUT WORK TOWARDS NO MASKED POLICING, M.P.D., HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN OUR CITY, NO MASKS.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HEARING ME. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE ROB AND THEN ALYSSA.  AND THEN IF YOU HAVE

75
00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:54.566
NOT SIGNED UP AND YOU'RE HERE TO TESTIFY, PLEASE DOO. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL MEMBERS.  MY NAME IS ALYSSA WASHINGTON. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE WRONGFULLYNCARCERATED AND

76
00:20:54.566 --> 00:21:10.233
OVERSENTENCED FAMILIES COUNCIL, AND ALSO A PROUD MEMBER OF THE TWIN CITIES COALITION FOR JUSTICE. WE ARE A FAMILY-LED NONPROFIT, AND WE ARE HERE STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH MIRAC AS WELL. I URGE YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF

77
00:21:10.233 --> 00:21:26.600
BANNING FACE COVERINGS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHILE THEY ARE CARRYING OUT THEIR DUTIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES.  FOR DECADES BLACK, BROWN, AND INDIGENOUS IMMIGRANT AND POOR COMMUNITIES IN MINNEAPOLIS HAVE SUFFERED FROM A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY FROM POLICING INSTITUTIONS.

78
00:21:26.600 --> 00:21:43.300
AS WE ALL KNOW. WE HAVE BEEN BURIED LOVED ONES. WE HAVE WITNESSED EXCESSIVE FORCE.  WE HAVE SEEN OFFICERS VIOLATE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS, AND THEN HIDE BEHIND A SYSTEM THAT TOO OFTEN PROTECTS ITSELF. ACCOUNTABILITY STARTS WITH TRANSPARENCY.  WHEN ARMED

79
00:21:43.300 --> 00:21:59.400
OFFICERS ARE OPERATING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, CONDUCTING TRAFFIC STOPS, MAKING ARRESTS, PARTICIPATING IN RAIDS, OR ENGAGING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO IS POLICING THEM. I KNOW OTHERS HAVE SAID THAT TODAY, AND I HOPE IT REALLY

80
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:16.600
STICKS WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT THIS IS WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS ASKING OF YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF.  THIS ISSUE IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED AGGRESSIVE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND FEAR.

81
00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:32.033
LIKE MINE WHO HAVE SPENT YEARS GHTING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY FROM GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS. AND IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY RESIDENT WHO BELIEVES PUBLIC SERVANTS SHOULD BE IDENTIFIABLE WHEN EXERCISING PUBLIC AUTHORITY.

82
00:22:32.033 --> 00:22:50.550
THIS IS NOT ABOUT OFFICER SAFETY VERSUS COMMUNITY SAFETY.  WE CAN HAVE BOTH.  BUT WE CANNOT HAVE ACCOTABILITY WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY. MINNEAPOLIS HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD BY SHOWING THAT NO ONE SHOULD WIELD STATE POWER FROM BEHIND A MASK WHILE THE PUBLIC IS LEFT WONDERING WHO THEY ARE.

83
00:22:50.550 --> 00:23:05.883
THANK YOU. >> THANK U.  NEXT UP WE HAVE ROB. >> SO BEFORE MY TIME BEGINS, CAN I ASK A CLARIFYING QUESTION?

84
00:23:05.883 --> 00:23:21.816
WHERE IS MICHAEL RAINVILLE?  AND WHERE IS LINEA PALMISANO?  AND WHERE IS -- WHERE IS THE REST OF THE COUNCIL? >> THANKS, ROB.  WE'RE GOING TO START THE CLOCK BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET GOING.  BUT COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE IN A BIT.  AND COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO IS NOT ON THIS COMMITTEE. >> OKAY.  THESE ARE THE COUNCIL

85
00:23:21.816 --> 00:23:37.416
MEMBERS THAT NEED TO HEAR THIS. THAT'S WHY I ASK.  SO MY NAME IS ROB.  I'M A PUBLIC SCHOOLTEACHER.  AND MY SON WHEN HE WAS TWO YEARS OLD, HE WAS ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY WHEN I.C.E. CAME AT GUN POINT AND TOOK OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS AWAY.  THAT

86
00:23:37.416 --> 00:23:53.883
IS BACK IN JANUARY AND THIS MORNING SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS MORNING, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE BLOCKS FROM WHERE I LIVE.  THE SAME THING HAPPENED.  AND MY QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL IS WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?  AND WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?  I DON'T WANT TO HEAR

87
00:23:53.883 --> 00:24:09.416
EXCUSE ABOUT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAYING THERE IS THIS OR THAT AND THEY NEED A PASS IF DENVER, PHILLY, MILWAUKEE, ST. PAUL BACK IN FEBRUARY, SAN JOSE CAN GET THIS PASSED.  WHAT IS THE HOLD UP IN MINNEAPOLIS?  YOU YOU NEED TO PASS THIS, RIGHT?  YOU NEED TO PASS THIS.  AND I KNOW THE

88
00:24:09.416 --> 00:24:26.216
PEOPLE HERE, Y'ALL WANT TO PASS THIS, RIGHT?  THE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T HERE ARE THE HOLDUP.  WE NEED A NINE-VOTE MAJORITY TO OVERTURN JACOB FREY'S INEVITABLE VETO OF THIS, RIGHT?  SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, HOW CAN YOU

89
00:24:26.216 --> 00:24:41.916
WORK TOGETHER TO GET THIS DONE? WE IMMEDIATE MORE THAN THIS.  WE NEED CONSEQUENCES IN THE LEGISLATION.  WE NEED THE LEGISLATION TO HAVE CONSEQUENCES, OKAY? WE CAN'T JUST HAVE THIS ON THE BOOK.  THERE NEEDS TO BE CONSEQUENCES FOR WHEN THE HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFFS COME IN

90
00:24:41.916 --> 00:24:59.016
MASKED AND WE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND PEOPLE CONFUSE THEM WITH I.C.E., RIGHT? MY STUDENTS ARE STILL IN HIDING FIVER MONTHS LATER AS A RESULT OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY STEP OUT THE DOOR IF A MASKED GUNMAN WILL TAKE THEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHO'S WHO ANYMORE, RIGHT? SO WE NEED -- WE NEED MORE THAN

91
00:24:59.016 --> 00:25:14.950
THIS.  WE NEED MORE THAN THIS, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE. YOU GET A LOT OF HATE FROM THE MAYOR AND A LOT OF HATE FROM THE FACEBOOK COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE IN LAKEVILLE. BUT I LIKE YOU.  AND I SUPPORT YOU AND I WANT YOU TO WORK TOGETHER TO GET THIS DONE.

92
00:25:14.950 --> 00:25:30.750
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. >> THANKS, ROB.  ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE.  IF YOU HAVE NOT SIGNED UP TO TESTIFY, I AM GOING TO GIVE THREE WARNINGS WARNING ONE, SIGN UP TO TESTIFY.  SECOND WARNING.  THIRD WARNING.  ALL

93
00:25:30.750 --> 00:25:46.416
RIGHT.  SEEING NO ONE ELSE WISHING TO TESTIFY, I WILL NOW CLOSE THIS HEARING AND OPEN UP THE QUEUE FOR ANY COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES.  BUT I WILL START OFF WITH A FEW COMMENTS.  I MOVE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM WITH THE REVISIONS IN FRONT OF US.

94
00:25:46.416 --> 00:26:03.416
IF I CAN GET A SECOND. >> SECOND. >> AND COLLEAGUES, I HOPE THAT WE CAN EARN YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS ORDINANCE TODAY.  AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS IS NOT ENTIRELY WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS ASKING FOR, BUT IT IS A START.  IT GIVES US TIME BEFORE THE FUTURE ACTION THAT IS ON THE AGENDA

95
00:26:03.416 --> 00:26:20.550
TODAY THAT WE MOVED TO THE NEXT CYCLE MEETING TO HEAR THE CONCERNS FROM OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE REALITY IS THAT MASKED AGENTS HAVE INVADED OUR CITY AND HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND I HOPE WHEN THAT TIME COMES, WE CAN EARN YOUR SUPPORT TO PASS THAT ORDINANCE AS WELL.  THIS

96
00:26:20.550 --> 00:26:36.650
MORNING A NEIGHBOR WAS KIDNAPPED IN WARD NINE BY I.C.E. AGENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THERE WAS A VARIETY OF I.C.E. AGENTS AND THEY WERE MASKED.  THAT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR MANY OF MY CONSTITUENTS.  THIS INDIVIDUAL HAD HIS WINDOW BROKEN

97
00:26:36.650 --> 00:26:54.216
INTO, AND HE WAS SNATCHED FROM HIS CAR.  ONE YEAR AGO TODAY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS SURROUNDED LAKE AND BLOOMINGTON AND CONCEALED THEIR IDENTITY AND BROUGHT MILITARY TRUCKS, LONG GUNS AND ZIP TIES INTO YOUR COMMUNITY THAT INSTILLED, QUITE

98
00:26:54.216 --> 00:27:09.916
FRANKLY A LOT OF FEAR. THROUGHOUT OPERATION METRO SURGE, OUR CITY WAS INVADED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WE SAW A VARIETY OF MASKED AGENTS HIDING THEIR IDENTITIES AN KIDNAPPING OUR IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS. AND THAT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTABLE TO ME.

99
00:27:09.916 --> 00:27:26.816
SO I'M HOPEFUL THAT I CAN EARN YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS ORDINANCE AS AMENDED AND ALSO HEAR THE CONCERNS FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.  I AGREE WITH YOU.  AND MY COMMIT TONIGHT THE COMMUNITY IS TO CONTINUE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN GET THAT DONE BECAUSE YOU ARE CORRECT. ST. PAUL PASSED THIS MONTHS AGO.

100
00:27:26.816 --> 00:27:44.016
WHY AREN'T WE?  I TAKE THAT FEEDBACK SERIOUSLY AND AM COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH MY COLLEAGUES SO HEAR ANY CONCERNS THEY HAVE AS WELL.  I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN ALL GET THIS DONE.  SO WITH THAT, COLLEAGUES, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  I ALSO AGREE THIS ISN'T ENOUGH.

101
00:27:44.016 --> 00:28:00.016
BUT IT IS A START.  I KIND OF HAVE AN OVERLY SIMPLIFIED GOVERNING PRINCIPLE.  DO SOMETHING OR DO NOTHING. BOTH OF THOSE ARE A CHOICE. WE'RE CHOOSING TO DO SOMETHING, BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.  IT WILL OPEN UP TO DO ANOTHER THING AND

102
00:28:00.016 --> 00:28:16.633
ANOTHER THING UNTIL WE HAVE FULL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE OCCUPATION OF MINNEAPOLIS AND THE ABUSE HAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD ON THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND ITS RESIDENTS. I'M GRATEFUL TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY FOR TAKING THAT FIRST STEP OF BRINGING CHARGES FOR

103
00:28:16.633 --> 00:28:32.816
SOME OF THE FEDERAL AGENTS WHO WERE VIOLATING OUR RIGHTS. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH EITHER. WE GOT A NATIONAL SEARCH WARRANT AND ARRESTED SOMEBODY IN TEXAS. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH EITHER, RIGHT?  THERE IS MORE TO BE DOING AND I AM COMMITTED TO DOING IT, SO I AM GRATEFUL FOR

104
00:28:32.816 --> 00:28:50.450
YOU ALL BEING HERE AND MAKING SURE WE'RE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT WORK. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. JUST WANT TO NOTE HERE, TOO, AND I THINK IT'S -- LOOKING AT THE ORDINANCE, AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU ALL HAVE PUT INTO THIS, ESPECIALLY AS WE LOOK FORWARD AS A CREATIVE WAY TO

105
00:28:50.450 --> 00:29:08.316
ATTACH SOME LEVELS OF CONSEQUENCES AND I THINK ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE FRAME OF KIND OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS OUR CITY.  IT SOUNDS LIKE I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE VERSION OF THIS AND WHERE THE

106
00:29:08.316 --> 00:29:25.316
APPLICABILITY OF AN ORDINANCE LIKE THIS DOES EXIST, RIGHT? I THINK WE HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY, RIGHT, THESE FEDERAL AGENTS AREN'T LISTENING TO THE CONSTITUTION, LIKE, ARE THEY LIKELY TO LISTEN TO AN ORDINANCE? AND SO I THINK WE KNOW THAT ANSWER IS NO.

107
00:29:25.316 --> 00:29:40.316
BUT I THINK WHAT THIS DOES DO, AND WHAT I APPRECIATE THE WORK OF WHAT THIS DOES IS KIND OF FOR THOSE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS.  AND ENSURING THAT, YOU KNOW, M.P.D., HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFFS, AND ANY AGENCY IN WHICH THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT

108
00:29:40.316 --> 00:29:57.550
ENGAGES IN THESE JOINT POWER AGREEMENTS HAS TO BE CONSISTENT TO THAT. AND SO I THINK IT IS A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THIS ACTUALLY DOES.  AND IT ALLOWS FOR AND PUTS SOME SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE FOR THAT WITH AGENCIES

109
00:29:57.550 --> 00:30:13.316
THAT WE HAVE AN ABILITY TO COME TO THAT LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE. AND THEN JUST WANTED TO NOTE HERE, TOO, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY A FUN FACT.  SO WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A MASK OR A NONMASKING MAN DATA IN M.P.D.

110
00:30:13.316 --> 00:30:30.150
POLICY AT THE MOMENT. BUT IT IS TECHNICALLY AGAINST M.P.D. UNIFORM STANDARDS YOU HAVE AND SO IT ISN'T ACTUALLY PRECLUDED IN LEVEL OF M.P.D. POLICY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T WEAR A MASK WITH YOUR M.P.D. ISSUED UNIFORM.  THERE IS AN

111
00:30:30.150 --> 00:30:47.116
ABILITY FOR IT TO KIND OF FIT IN THERE AS WELL.  AND SO AGAIN, I THINK JUST THANK YOU TO ALL THE FOLKS THAT ARE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS, AND EXCITED TO SEE IT MOVE THROUGH. >> VICE CHAIR STEVENSON. >> YEAH, THANK YOU.  I WANTED TO THANK YOU MY CONSTITUENTS AND FRIEND FOR COMING AND SPEAKING

112
00:30:47.116 --> 00:31:04.450
TO THIS ITEM.  THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT.  AGAIN, IT IS A FIRST STEP AND YOUR COMMENTS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT AND YOUR PUSH TO US IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO GETTING THIS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE AND DOING WHAT WE ALL SHOULD HAVE DONE IN NOVEMBER -- SORRY, NOT NOVEMBER, BUT

113
00:31:04.450 --> 00:31:21.316
FEBRUARY.  THANK YOU.  THANKS FOR COMING. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING INVOKING THE INABILITY FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO EVEN COMPLY WITH THE CONSTITUTION JUST MADE ME

114
00:31:21.316 --> 00:31:36.850
REMEMBER THE DAY THAT WE WERE INTERACTING WITH I.C.E. AGENTS AT THE SECOND PRECINCT PARKING LOT. AND WE HAD A BUNCH OF COMMUNITY OBSERVERS JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE KNEW WHERE THEIR LOCATION WAS. AND THEY ENDED UP IN THE SECOND PRECINCT PARKING LOT. AND I HAD TO GO AND IRODUCE

115
00:31:36.850 --> 00:31:55.283
MYSELF AS THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND REMIND THEM THAT WE HAD PASSED A LAW BANNING THEIR USE OF OUR CITY-OWNED PROPERTY FOR THESE PURPOSES. THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME EITHER, RIGHT?  I'M SITTING THERE FACE TO FACE WITH MASKED, ARMED AGENTS, COMPLETELY IGNORING ME.

116
00:31:55.283 --> 00:32:12.383
IGNORING THE LAW OF OUR CITY. IGNORING THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY VIA OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO STAND FIRM THAT, NO, THIS IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.  AND THE THING THAT ACTUALLY ENFORCED THAT LAW WAS NOT ME INVOKING MY

117
00:32:12.383 --> 00:32:28.016
AUTHORITY AS THE PRESIDENT OF THIS BODY, BUT IT WAS NUMBER OF EVERYDAY PEOPLE SHOWING UP AND SHOWING UP AND MORE AND MORE AND LOUDER AND LOUDER THAT MADE THEM ULTIMATELY LEAVE. AND IT IS JUST A REMINDER THAT THIS IS THE LAND GOVERNED BY ITS

118
00:32:28.016 --> 00:32:44.383
PEOPLE.  THE LAWS ARE DOWNSTREAM FROM THE PEOPLE.  AND THE PEOPLE ARE THE POWER. AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR PEOPLE TO DO THAT ONE LAW AT A TIME AND HOW WE CARRY OURSELVES EVERY DAY.  REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AGAIN.

119
00:32:44.383 --> 00:32:59.883
AND JUST A REMINDER THAT EVEN WITH THE HIGHEST LAW OF THE LAND IN OUR CONSTITUTION, THE HIGHEST LAW IS THE PEOPLE. SO THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE.

120
00:32:59.883 --> 00:33:15.183
>> THANK YOU.  I DON'T HAVE MY LAPTOP WITH ME.  I HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR CITY ATTORNEY. I HAVE BEEN BRIEFED ON THIS. AND I SAID I WAS GOING TO ASK THIS.  HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE WITH THESE AGENCIES?  HAS SOMEONE TALKED TO THE OUTSIDE AGENCIES TO SEE WHAT

121
00:33:15.183 --> 00:33:35.550
THEIR RESPONSE IS? >> CHAIR CHAVEZ AND COUNCIL MEMBER, I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO WHETHER SOMEONE HAS TALKED WITH THESE OTHER AGENCIES.  THIS WOULD APPLY TO NEW OR AMENDED J.P.A.s, SO WHEN

122
00:33:35.550 --> 00:33:52.016
WE HAVE THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THOSE NEWER AMENDED J.P.A.s, THAT IS THE DISCUSSION THAT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN THEN.  IT WOULD GO INTO NEW AMENDED CONTRACTS, BUT NOT CHANGE THE ONES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN EXISTENCE. AND I REALIZE THIS IS NOT TO

123
00:33:52.016 --> 00:34:08.416
CHANGE WHAT WE HAVE, BUT MAYBE ONE OF THE AUTHORS KNOW WHAT IS THE RESPONSE WOULD BE. WOULD THEY STILL ENTER INTO THESE AGREEMENTS WITH US? >> SO COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, I MEAN, WE'RE BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH THE SHERIFFS REGARDING THIS ORDINANCE.  WHICH SOME OF THOSE

124
00:34:08.416 --> 00:34:25.916
CONVERSATIONS AND ULTIMATELY THE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE HERE TODAY. SOME OF THE CONTRACTS WE HAVE IN THE J.P.A.s ARE THE CONTROLS AND HENNEPIN COUNTY ARE SOME EXAMPLES. AND WHAT DO THEY SAY? >> WELL, WE HAVE MET ABOUT SOME

125
00:34:25.916 --> 00:34:42.650
OF THE LANGUAGE THAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD TODAY, AND THAT IS WHY THERE IS AMENDMENTS THERE. COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW? >> THANK YOU, CHAIR.  COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, WHEN THIS CAME UP, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ GRACEFULLY WORKED WITH ME AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.  THEY HAD A LIST OF AMENDMENTS THAT THEY WANTED TO WORK ON IN THIS

126
00:34:42.650 --> 00:35:00.383
ORDINANCE, AND THEY ARE CERTAINLY REFLECTED IN THE FINAL LANGUAGE OF WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US TODAY AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WAS ALSO COORDINATING WITH OTHER AGENCIES AROUND WHAT

127
00:35:00.383 --> 00:35:17.116
COMPREHENSIVE ORDINANCE CHANGE WOULD LOOK LIKE.  NOT THE LARGE ONE.  YOU MISSED THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LARGER, MORE BROADER ONE. THIS IS KIND OF CONDENSED INTO WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS AUTHORITY TO DO RIGHT NOW WITH THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. BUT THERE IS CERTAINLY DISCUSSION WITH THE PARTNERS IN

128
00:35:17.116 --> 00:35:31.016
THOSE AGREEMENTS AROUND THIS. >> GREAT.  THANK YOU.  I DO APOLOGIZE TO THE COMMITTEE FOR BEING LATE.  I WAS INVOLVED IN A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SHOOTINGS ON NICOLLET MALL AND THE DEATHS ALONG THE RIVER THIS PAST COUPLE DAYS.

129
00:35:31.016 --> 00:35:49.616
SO I HAD TO PRIORITIZE THAT. >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY PUBLIC -- THANK YOU.  WE JUST DID PUBLIC SYSTEM.  WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE COMMITTEE WORK TODAY. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING.  SORRY, ACTUALLY, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW.

130
00:35:49.616 --> 00:36:06.383
>> I WAS JUST -- >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> PERFECT.  THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  JUST WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE AS WELL SPECIFICALLY ABOUT KIND OF SOME COMMENTS HERE. WANTED TO CORRECT THE RECORD, RIGHT?  THIS IS A COMMITTEE. THERE IS ONLY SEVEN OF US.  THE REST OF THE COUNCIL ISN'T HERE.

131
00:36:06.383 --> 00:36:23.816
IT IS ONLY US AS A COMMITTEE, AND EXCITED TO SEE, I THINK T MAJORITY OF THIS WILL ACTUALLY PROBABLY MOVE FORWARD WITH HOPEFUL UNANIMOUS VOTE AND HIGHLY DOUBT IT WILL BE VETO.  I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO FULLY SUPPORT THIS IS ORDINANCE AS WRITTEN.  AND COUNCIL MEMBER

132
00:36:23.816 --> 00:36:40.483
VETAW AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ WORKED TOGETHER WITH THE HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO COME UP WITH A VERSION OF THIS TO MOVE FORWARD IN THIS BODY. AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS OUT THERE AS WELL. >> THANKS, COUNCIL MEMBER

133
00:36:40.483 --> 00:36:57.783
WHITING.  ALL RIGHT.  NO ONE ELSE IS ON QUEUE. SO IF WE MAY TAKE A ROLL CALL ON THE AMENDED VERSION WITH APPROVAL, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS, CLERK. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE. >> AYE. >> WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> RAINVILLE. >> AYE. >> VETAW. >> AYE. >> WHITING.

134
00:36:57.783 --> 00:37:13.983
>> AYE. >> VICE CHAIR STEVENSON. >> AYE. >> SHARE CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE 7 AYES. >> THANK YOU.  AND THAT IS MOVED FORWARD WITH APPROVAL TO THE FULL COUNCIL.  THE NEXT ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH SOUND THINKING

135
00:37:13.983 --> 00:37:31.016
INC. FOR A GUNSHOT ROW LOCATION SYSTEM.  AND THIS ORDINANCE REQUIRES A PRESENTATION ON THE PROPOSED CONTRACT AND A PUBLIC HEARING BE HELD BEFORE THE CITY ENTERS SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY CONTRACTS.  I WILL INVITE UP EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR TO BEGIN THAT

136
00:37:31.016 --> 00:37:54.383
PRESENTATION. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR CHAVEZ, COUNCIL MEMBERS.  I'M JONI

137
00:37:54.383 --> 00:38:11.183
HODNEYT DIRECTOR TO OF 911.  YOU WILL BE HEARING TODAY FROM MYSELF AND DEPUTY CHIEF RITTLE ABOUT THE BENEFIT OF SHOT SPOTTER BOTH FOR OUR RESIDENTS AN AS A CRITICAL TOOL SUPPORTING 911 AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. OUR GOAL TODAY ISN'T TO GIVE YOU

138
00:38:11.183 --> 00:38:28.016
-- OUR GOAL TODAY IS TO GIVE YOU A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING ON WHAT THE TECHNOLOGY IS AND WHAT IT ISN'T.  AND HOW IT ENHANCES OUR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND.

139
00:38:28.016 --> 00:38:45.516
SHOT SPOTER IS ESSENTIALLY AN ARRAY OF ACOUSTIC SENSORS PLACED CENTRAL STRATEGICALLY THROUGHOUT THE CITY.  WHEN GUNFIRE OCCURS, THOSE SENSORS WORK TOGETHER TO PICK UP THE SOUND AND TO REGULATE IT.

140
00:38:45.516 --> 00:39:03.250
TRIANGULATE IT, MEANING THEY WORK TOGETHER TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHERE IT CAME FROM.  THE TECHNOLOGY GIVES US DETAILS THAT CALLERS OFTEN CAN'T, SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF SHOTS, WHETHER FROM MULTIPLE FIREARMS F THE SHOTS WERE AN AUTOMATIC GUN, OR EVERYBODY IF THE SHOOTER WAS

141
00:39:03.250 --> 00:39:19.716
MOVING.  ALL OF THIS HELPS BUILD AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING MUCH FASTER THAN TRADITIONAL MEANS. THE SYSTEM SCREENS OUT NONGUNSHOT NOISES SUCH AS FIREWORKS AND BACKFIRES.

142
00:39:19.716 --> 00:39:35.783
SENSORS ARE TUNED TO DETECT ONLY THE HIGH ENERGY IMPULSIVE SOUND THAT'S UNIQUE TO GUN FIRE.  SHOT SPOTTER DOES NOT FUNCTION AS AN ACOUSTIC SURVEILLANCE TOOL. WHILE NO SYSTEM IS PERFECT, SPOT SHOTTER INCLUDES MULTIPLE LAYERS

143
00:39:35.783 --> 00:39:52.116
OF FILTERING SO WE AREN'T SENDING OFFICERS TO FIRE WORKS OR A CAR BACKFIRE.  I'LL EXPLAIN THE PROCESS FOR FULLY IN A SLIDE LATER ON, BUT IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS NOT A SURVEILLANCE TOOL. THE SENSORS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO

144
00:39:52.116 --> 00:40:06.550
PICK UP CONVERSATION. THEY'RE TUNED TO DETECT ONE VERY SPECIFIC TYPE OF SOUND, AND THAT'S GUNFIRE.  GUNSHOTS HAVE A VERY DISTINCT WAVE PATTERN COMPARED TO OTHER LOUD NOISES SO THE SYSTEM IS ENGINEERED TO

145
00:40:06.550 --> 00:40:25.516
CAPTURE THOSE NOISES AND SOUNDS. SOME OF THE SHOT SPOTTER BENEFITS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS THAT IT PROVIDES RAPID, DETAILED ALERTS THAT HELP RESPONDERS.  ONE OF THE BIGGEST

146
00:40:25.516 --> 00:40:41.750
ADVANTAGES OF SHOT SPOTER IS THE SPEED. AS SOON AS THE GUNFIRE IS DETECTED, RESPONDERS RECEIVE A VERY SPECIFIC LOCATION INFORMATION.  OFTEN MORE PRECISE THAN WHAT WE CAN GET FROM CALLERS. IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT CALLERS

147
00:40:41.750 --> 00:40:58.616
THEY ONLY HAVE A GENERAL SENSE OF THE DIRECTION WHEN THEY'RE CALLING IN.  OFFICERS CAN SEE THIS INFORMATION ON SMARTPHONES AND COMPUTER EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE SQUAD CARS WHILE DISPATCH IS RECEIVING THIS INFORMATION AND ABLE TO GIVE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ALONG WITH CALLERS

148
00:40:58.616 --> 00:41:12.016
THAT ARE CALLING IN TO THE RESPONDERS THAT ARE GOING TO THE SCENE. SECONDS TRULY MATTER.  AND ANY TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS RESPONDERS

149
00:41:12.016 --> 00:41:30.750
TO THE RIGHT SPOT FASTER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SAVE LIVES. FROM THE 911 PERSPECTIVE, SHOT SPOTTER FILLS IN THE GAPS WE OFTEN HAD WHEN TAKING THE SHOTS FIRED CALL.  CALLERS DO THEIR

150
00:41:30.750 --> 00:41:47.716
BEST BUT WE FREQUENTLY HEAR CONFLICTING INFORMATION. SOMEONE THINKS THE SHOTS CAME FROM THE NORTH.  ANOTHER CALLER REPORTS THEY CAME FROM THE SOUTH. ONE PERSON MAY HAVE HEARD 10 SHOTS AND ANOTHER PERSON MAY HAVE HEARD 20. WITHOUT ADDITIONAL TOOLS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE WHAT'S

151
00:41:47.716 --> 00:42:05.250
ACTUALLY OCCURRING.  SHOT SPOTTER GIVES CONCRETE DETAILS, LOCATION, NUMBER OF ROUNDS, AND MOVEMENT THAT HELPS US IDENTIFY IF A VEHICLE IS -- IF THE SHOTS ARE BEING FIRED FROM A VEHICLE OR SOMETHING RUNNING DOWN THE

152
00:42:05.250 --> 00:42:20.850
STREET. THESE HELP US MAKE MORE TIMELY AND ACCURATE DECISIONS TO ENSURE OFFICERS ARE GOING EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE NEEDED. HERE'S KIND OF WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES WHEN A SHOT

153
00:42:20.850 --> 00:42:37.316
SPOTTER ACTIVATION GOES OFF. EACH ACOUSTIC SENSOR CAPTURES THE PRECISE LOCATION AND SOUND. THAT IS THEN SENT TO A SOUND THINKING CENTER ACTUALLY OUT IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE GROUP OF

154
00:42:37.316 --> 00:42:54.883
PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING TO THESE THAT'S ALL THEY LISTEN FOR ALL DAY LONG IS THESE WAVE FILES TO DETERMINE IF IT'S FIREWORKS, BACKFIRES OR GUNSHOTS.  AND THAT HELPS THEM TO WEED OUT THE ONES THAT ARE NOT GUNSHOT ACTIVITY AND BE ABLE TO SEND TO US IN

155
00:42:54.883 --> 00:43:11.816
LESS THAN 60 SECONDS AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF SHOTS FIRED IN THE AREA.  WHILE SOMETIMES 60 SECONDS MAY SEEM A LONG TIME PERIOD, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE WAS A TIME PERIOD BEFORE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVED THAT WE USED TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO THESE FILES

156
00:43:11.816 --> 00:43:28.583
OURSELVES DOWN AT THE 911 CENTER. THAT OFTEN TOOK MORE TIME THAN WHAT THIS TAKES FOR IT TO BOUNCE OUT TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK TO US. BEING TRAINED IN LEARNING HOW TO LOOK AT THOSE FILES AND BE ABLE TO HEAR THAT SOUND AND DETERMINE

157
00:43:28.583 --> 00:43:45.983
WHAT IT WAS WAS LESS ACCURATE FOR US WHEN WE'VE GOT ALL OF OUR BACKGROUND NOISE AND THE CALLERS AND DISPATCHES IN THE BACKGROUND. SO THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE A MUCH MORE RELIABLE TOOL FOR US.

158
00:43:45.983 --> 00:44:03.316
SO HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SHOT SPOTTER ACTIVATION GOES OFF.  WE GET A SCREEN THAT POPS UP THAT SHOWS US THE YELLOW FLAG THAT YOU SEE HERE WHICH TELLS US WHERE THE SHOTS ARE BEING FIRED FROM, AND THE NUMBER OF SHOTS

159
00:44:03.316 --> 00:44:19.683
THAT ARE BEING FIRED.  IF THERE'S ALREADY A RELATED CALL, WE ADD THAT TO THE COMMENTS SO THAT WE'VE GOT THE COMBINED INFORMATION FROM OUR CALLERS IN THE AREA AS WELL AS THE INFORMATION FROM THE SHOT SPOTTER SYSTEM.  IN THIS PARTICULAR PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE,

160
00:44:19.683 --> 00:44:35.483
YEAH, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE, BUT THERE ARE TWO SHOTS BEING FIRED FROM THAT LOCATION. THE OTHER TOOL THAT WE HAVE WITH THE SHOT SPOTTER MAPPING INSIDE

161
00:44:35.483 --> 00:44:52.916
THE DISPATCH SENTER IS WE CAN PULL UP AN ACCURATE LOCATION. IMAGINE IT'S JANUARY.  THERE ARE TWO FEET OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. OFFICERS HAVE GONE OUT AND TRYING TO LOCATE SHELL CASINGS, WHICH IS CRITICAL TO THEM HELPING TO SOLVE SHOOTINGS OR PICK UP CALLS FOR EVEN ONES THAT

162
00:44:52.916 --> 00:45:09.150
HAVEN'T BEEN IN ACTUAL SHOOTING AND ARE FROM A CASE BECAUSE OF THE SHOTS BEING FIRED.  WE CAN TAKE THIS TOOL AND WE CAN MEASURE FROM ANY POINT THAT WE WANT TO AT THIS AND TELL THE

163
00:45:09.150 --> 00:45:25.450
OFFICERS, FOR EXAMPLE, LOOK 6 FEET FROM THE FRONT DOOR TO THE NORTH OF THE YARD FOR THESE SHELL CASINGS THAT MIGHT NOW BE BURIED UNDER SNOW.  THIS ALLOWS THE OFFICERS TO HAVE A MORE PRECISE LOCATION TO BE ABLE TO START TO TAKE THIS DOWN.

164
00:45:25.450 --> 00:45:42.683
ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS WITH THIS IS THE BEING ABLE TO LET THEM KNOW THIS IS FROM A MOVING VEHICLE OR A PERSON WALKING. SO THIS ISN'T COMING JUST FROM INSIDE OF A HOUSE OR SOMEONE STANDING IN FRONT OF A HOUSE. WE CAN SEND THEM TO START IN THE DIRECTION IF SOMEONE IS MOVING

165
00:45:42.683 --> 00:45:58.150
NORTH IN A VEHICLE TO HAVE THEM HEAD TO THE NORTH OF THIS LOCATION AND START TO WORK THEIR WAY BACK IN HOPES TO BE ABLE TO MORE QUICKLY LOCATE THE PERSON THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FIRING THOSE SHOTS. I'M GOING TO END MY PART OF THE

166
00:45:58.150 --> 00:46:14.283
PRESENTATION WITH A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.  THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE.  THESE WERE SOME THAT STOOD OUT TO ME THAT HAVE BEEN A BENEFIT TO THE 911 CENTER. 28th AND EMERSON AVENUE NORTH

167
00:46:14.283 --> 00:46:32.516
JUST IN MAY.  SHOT SPOTTER ACTIVATED SHOWING FOUR ROUNDS IN FRONT OF THAT ADDRESS AT 28th AND EMERSON. OFFICERS WERE SENT THERE WITHIN THREE MINUTES AND WERE ABLE TO LOCATE AND ARREST ONE PERSON ON SITE.

168
00:46:32.516 --> 00:46:49.183
FROM 19th AND ELLIOTT, SHOT SPOTTER WAS ACTIVATED SHOWING FOUR ROUND AT THE CORNER. OFFICERS ARRIVED, CHECKED THE AREA FOR A SUSPECT, AND A MALE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.  ON 33rd AND 4th AVENUE SOUTH, IT

169
00:46:49.183 --> 00:47:05.850
ACTIVATED SHOWING MULTIPLE SHOOTERS WITH HIGH CAPACITY GUNS WITH 30 ROUNDS AND THEN TWO MORE ACTIVATIONS.  OFFICERS ARRIVED TO FIND A MALE RUNNING DOWN THE ALLEY. MALE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND A FIREARM WAS RECOVERED.  THE

170
00:47:05.850 --> 00:47:21.716
ONLY 911 CALLER -- THERE WAS ONLY ONE 911 CALLER THAT CALLED IN ON THIS ONE. SO IN ALL OF THOSE CASES, SHOT SPOTTER HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET US TO A LOCATION MORE QUICKLY THAN A CALL HAS BEEN ABLE TO COME

171
00:47:21.716 --> 00:47:38.383
INTO THE CENTER.  THIS CALL IS A LITTLE BIT OLDER.  IT IS FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BUT IT'S ONE THAT TRULY STICKS WITH ME IN MY HEART AS WE LOOK AT THE THINGS THAT SHOT SPOTTER HAS DONE FOR US. FROM MAY OF 2024, SHOT SPOTTER ACTIVATED, NOTIFYING DISPATCH OF

172
00:47:38.383 --> 00:47:54.550
SEVERAL ROUNDS ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK ON 23rd AVENUE NORTH. THE FIRST OFFICER ARRIVED ON SCENE AND REQUESTED MEDICAL FOR A MALE VICTIM WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE HEAD. NEARLY FOUR MINUTES LATER IS

173
00:47:54.550 --> 00:48:11.416
WHEN WE GOT THE FIRST PHONE CALL. THE ONLY 911 CALLER AT THAT POINT WAS FROM ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY REPORTING HEARING SHOTS AND SOMEONE SCREAMING. THERE WERE TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF THIS VEHICLE.

174
00:48:11.416 --> 00:48:28.316
THAT LEFT THE VEHICLE AND STARTED TO WONDER DOWN THE STREET AFTER THEIR DAD HAD BEEN SHOT. HAD OFFICERS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND SO QUICKLY TO THIS, WE MAY NOT HAVE LOCATED THOSE CHILDREN AS QUICKLY AND EASILY AS WE HAVE.  SO IN CLOSING, SHOT SPOTTER IS JUST ONE OF THE TOOLS

175
00:48:28.316 --> 00:48:45.283
THAT HELPS US RESPOND FASTER WITH CLEARER INFORMATION AND WITH A MORE PRECISE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S HAPPENING DURING POTENTIAL GUNFIRE EVENTS. IT SUPPORTS OUR 911 CALL TAKING AND ENHANCES THE ACCURACY OF OUR DISPATCHING AND GIVERS

176
00:48:45.283 --> 00:49:02.250
RESPONDERS CRITICAL DETAILS THEY WOULDN'T ALREADY HAVE IN THE FIRST URGENT MOMENTS. WHILE NO TECHNOLOGY IS PERFECT, SPOT SHOTTER FILLS IMPORTANT GAPS AND HELPS US BETTER PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT

177
00:49:02.250 --> 00:49:20.816
OVER TO D.C. RIDDLE. >> WELCOME.  THANK YOU. >> CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER, I AM TRAVIS RIDDLE.  THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF INVESTIGATIONS FOR M.P.D. FOR THE LAST FOUR

178
00:49:20.816 --> 00:49:36.283
MONTHS. SO WE HAVE A POWER POINT.  I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THIS INTO A DISCUSSION WHERE I CAN TALK TO YOU VERSUS READING OFF SOMETHING, SO I'VE TAKEN THE TIME TO WATCH THE PREVIOUS HEARINGS. FROM THE LAST, I GUESS, TWO YEARS OR SO.  AND A LOT OF THE

179
00:49:36.283 --> 00:49:51.616
PRESENTATION HAS BEEN ON WHAT THE TECHNOLOGIS, AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU TODAY IS OUTSIDE OF THE TECHNOLOGY, BUT HOW IT FITS INTO THE VIOLENT CRIME ECOSYSTEM.  SO THIS BODY

180
00:49:51.616 --> 00:50:07.816
IMPLEMENTED OR MANDATED THAT M.P.D. START A NONFATAL SHOOT TEAM, WHICH STARTED IN MARCH. AT THIS POINT FOR JUST OVER TWO AND A HALF MOSTLY SUNNIES OR SO, THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN IMPRESSIVE AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE

181
00:50:07.816 --> 00:50:24.550
PROCESSES TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. PART OF THAT NONFATAL SHOOT TEAM IS A TOOL, A TOOL OF THAT ECOSYSTEM.  OUR HOMICIDE TEAM IS A TOOL OF THAT ECOSYSTEM.  OUR VIOLENT CRIMINAL APPREHENSION

182
00:50:24.550 --> 00:50:40.283
TEAM IS PART OF THAT ECOSYSTEM. OUR GUN INTENSE UNIT IS PART OF OUR ECOSYSTEM.  THIS IS ALL ONE PART.  IT IS A TOOL.  AND THAT'S ALL IT IS.  IT IS A TOOL TO HELP THE OTHER PARTS OF THE ECOSYSTEM.  AS FAR AS FOR THE

183
00:50:40.283 --> 00:50:59.516
NONFATAL SHOOTS, HOW IT ASSISTS THE DEPARTMENT AS FAR AS RESPONSE AND INVESTIGATIONS. MUCH AS THE DIRECTOR INDICATED, IT DOES ALLOW THE POSSIBILITY OF A QUICKER DISPATCH TIME IF THERE IS NO CORRESPONDING 911 CALL. BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR

184
00:50:59.516 --> 00:51:15.450
INVESTIGATORS TO CORROBORATE VICTIM, WITNESS, AND SUSPECT STATEMENTS BASED ON LOCATIONS ON WHETHER THEY THINK THEY MAY HAVE TAKEN PLACE OR CLAIMING IT TOOK PLACE. OFTEN THE NONFATAL SHOOTS ARE

185
00:51:15.450 --> 00:51:31.150
WALK-INS TO THE HOSPITAL AND WE DO NOT HAVE A SCENE UNTIL WE GET THAT INFORMATION.  THE SHOT SPOTTER INFORMATION ALLOWS US TO GET TO A CLOSER AREA TO PRESERVE SCENE TO COLLECT THE EVIDENCE SO THE SHELL CASINGS WHEN DISCOVERED CAN BE ENTERED AND

186
00:51:31.150 --> 00:51:48.350
PAINT THE BIGGER PICTURE. SO WHAT I WANT TO PUT FORWARD IS THAT SHOT SPOTTER IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE YOUR VIOLENT CRIME. IT'S NOT WHAT IT'S DESIGNED TO DO.  SHOT SPOTER IS A TOOL TO FIT INTO THE ECOSYSTEM WITH THE

187
00:51:48.350 --> 00:52:04.183
OTHER PARTS THAT ARE IN PLACE. SO THE FAST, VCAT, HOMICIDE, GIU OUR INTEL, AND THEN OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH PARTNERS. MUCH AS I HAVE TOLD SEVERAL MEMBERS THAT I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO TALK TO, SHOT

188
00:52:04.183 --> 00:52:20.216
SPOTTER ALLOWS US TO IDENTIFY PARTS OF THE AREA WHERE WE HAVE THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF GUN FIRE.  BEING ABLE TO BE REACTIVE AND SOLVE THESE CASES IS GOOD. WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT IS TO BE PROACTIVE TO PREVENT THOSE CASES FROM EVER OCCURRING.  SHOT

189
00:52:20.216 --> 00:52:36.416
SPOTER IS A TOOL TO HELP US DO THAT. AND WHEN I SAY HELP US DO THAT, PROACTIVELY MEANS TO GO WHETHER IT BE THROUGH ENFORCEMENT OR THROUGH COMMUNITY OUTREACH, WHATEVER OFFRAMP THESE INDIVIDUALS LIKE TO TAKE T GOAL

190
00:52:36.416 --> 00:52:55.583
IS TO HAVE LESS PEOPLE SHOT. I THINK I JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT. SO THIS IS OFTEN A TOPIC OF

191
00:52:55.583 --> 00:53:13.283
DISCUSSION.  DOES IT INCREASE OR DECREASE RESPONSE TIME?  SO WHAT I WANT TO PUT UP THERE IS JUST THE DATA THAT WE HAVE. ONE THING THAT CANNOT -- WELL, I SAY CANNOT.  ONE THING THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT POSSIBLE OUTLIERS OF WHAT

192
00:53:13.283 --> 00:53:29.716
EFFECTS THE RESPONSE TEAM.  I THINK THAT WOULD BE CHALLENGING. SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING JUST KIND OF A BASIC TO SHOW THE DECREASE OR INCREASE IN THE RESPONSE TIMES FOR THE GUNSHOTS. SO THIS IS THE CURRENT COVERAGE THAT IS IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS.  WE HAVE TWO ZONES.

193
00:53:29.716 --> 00:53:45.716
ONE NORTH, ONE SOUTH. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE NORTH AND SOUTH ZONES HAVE EXTENSIVE COVERAGE OF WHERE OUR GUN VIOLENCE IS TAKING PLACE. YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT SOUTHWEST AND ALSO A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF WHITE STREET, THERE IS A PORTION OF THE CITY WHERE THAT

194
00:53:45.716 --> 00:54:00.950
DATA IS NOT BEING CAPTURED. KEEP IN MIND THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THAT HOT SPOT IS SOLELY RELIED ON TRADITIONAL MEASURING DATA PIECES SUCH AS

195
00:54:00.950 --> 00:54:17.750
911 CALLS, SUCH AS GUNSHOTS, SUBJECTS WITH A GUN, SUBJECTS WHO ARE ARRESTED WITH A FIREARM. THIS IS NOT CAPTURING ANY GUNSHOT DATA BECAUSE THERE IS NO COVERAGE. NOW, WE DID MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO PULL THE DATA OUT OF OUR

196
00:54:17.750 --> 00:54:34.316
DATABASES.  IT'S NOT SET UP TO WORK THAT WAY. I CAN SPEAK TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE THAT 80% OF SHOT SPOTTER ACTIVATIONS HAVE NO CORRELATING 911 CALL.  BASED ON THE TWO DATA PULLS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO, AND ONCE AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING

197
00:54:34.316 --> 00:54:50.450
THESE ARE 100% ACCURATE.  IT'S JUST THE BEST WE COULD DO WITH THE DATA WE HAD.  ONE DATA SET WAS 82%.  ONE DATA SET WAS 87%. SO EVEN IF YOU WENT IN WITH THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, 80% OF THE GUNSHOTS ARE NOT BEING REPORTED.

198
00:54:50.450 --> 00:55:06.016
THIS IS A HUGE DATA POINT FOR US TO FOCUS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT ACTIVITIES.  THIS IS A LITTLE ZOOM IN. SO THIS IS ALSO SHOWING THE SOUTH COVERAGE THAT WE CURRENTLY ARE.  AND ALSO THE PROPOSED EXPANSION.  THE PROPOSED

199
00:55:06.016 --> 00:55:21.316
EXPANSION IS COVERING THE SOUTHWEST HOT SPOT AS YOU SAW ON THE OTHER MAP.  IT'S ALSO LOOKING TO DROP THE COVERAGE IN THE SOUTHEAST TO JUST SOUTH OF LAKE STREET.  RIGHT NOW WE'RE CURRENTLY GATHERING DATA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF LAKE STREET, BUT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GATHER THE

200
00:55:21.316 --> 00:55:36.350
INFORMATION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LAKE STREET. THIS EXPANSION FOR THIS SOUTH PROPOSED EXPANSION WOULD, WHAT WE'RE ESTMAITING, WOULD CAPTURE AN ADDITIONAL 7% OF THE GUN FIRE FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE

201
00:55:36.350 --> 00:55:54.583
CITY. SO AT THIS POINT, WHAT M.P.D. IS ASKING AND WHAT DIRECTOR HODNE IS ASKING FOR IS AN EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT. THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN EXPIRED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.  SOUND THINKING HAS FLOATED THAT BILL

202
00:55:54.583 --> 00:56:09.850
UNTIL THIS WAS ABLE TO GET BEFORE THE COUNCIL. AND WE'RE ALSO ASKING FOR AN EXPANSION OF THE CURRENT COVERAGE THAT WE HAVE. THEY ARE GOING TO FUND THAT EXPANSION OUT OF E-911 FUNDS

203
00:56:09.850 --> 00:56:23.550
FROM THE STATE, SO IT WILL COST THE CITY NOTHING. NOTHING COMES OUTS OF THE GENERAL FUNDS.  AND ALL THE TAXES AND THE LAND LINES AND THE E-911, THIS IS WHERE THE FUND

204
00:56:23.550 --> 00:56:42.183
ARE COMING FROM FOR THE EXPANSION. >> THANK YOU.  WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE WE ASK ANY QUESTIONS.  THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.  I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING A AND LOOK AT THE LIST. IF YOU HAVE NOT SIGNED UP TO TESTIFY AND WISH TO TESTIFY,

205
00:56:42.183 --> 00:56:59.683
PLEASE SIGN UP. AND THE FIRST SPEAKER IS JAN. >> HELLO AGAIN, COUNCIL.  THANK YOU FOR HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING ABOUT THIS.  I WAS NOT -- I WAS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC WHEN I WALKED IN

206
00:56:59.683 --> 00:57:16.950
HERE, BUT I SAW SOUND THINKING INC. AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THIS COMPANY WAS UNTIL I LOOKED UP THAT THIS WAS INDEED SHOT SPOTTER INC. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, AND SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO JUST FIND IN PUBLICLY AVAILABLE

207
00:57:16.950 --> 00:57:32.416
PUBLISHED DOCUMENTS GOING BACK ALL THE WAY TO 2019 IS THAT SPOT SHOTTER HAS BEEN MIRED IN NUMEROUS LEGAL CHALLENGES FROM THE ACLU ALLEGING THE THINGS THAT WERE REFUTED HERE BY THE REPRESENTATIVES TODAY.

208
00:57:32.416 --> 00:57:48.083
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO POINT OUT IS THAT MAJOR CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE DISCONTINUED THE USE BECAUSE OF THE DISPROPORTIONATE COST AND WHAT IS -- AND WHAT I AM NOW LOGICALLY

209
00:57:48.083 --> 00:58:05.783
UNDERSTANDING TO BE BASICALLY A SELF-REPLICATING MACHINE OF PLACING MORE SURVEILLANCE IN ALREADY OVERPOLICED NEIGHBORHOODS. CITIES LIKE NEW YORK FOUND THAT IT WAS INEFFECTIVE.  CHICAGO, THE McARTHUR JUSTICE CENTER

210
00:58:05.783 --> 00:58:21.416
SHOED SHOT SPOTTER SPECIFICALLY BASED AND ALLEGATIONS OF DISCRIMINATION. PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, THE CITY THAT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE CITY THAT I GREW UP IN, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, FOUND THAT SHOT SPOTTER ALERTED 75% OF THEIR

211
00:58:21.416 --> 00:58:38.950
ALERTS THAT WERE RECEIVED IN PASADENA THAT TURNED UP NOTHING. THAT IS NOT TO SAY, AGAIN, THERE WERE NO SPOTS FIRED, BUT THAT IS TO SAY THAT THINGS HAVE NO ATTRIBUTED SOURCE FOUND. SO THERE'S A LACK OF DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE

212
00:58:38.950 --> 00:58:55.283
INFORMATION THAT IS BEING RECEIVED AND THEN THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS AT THE END. SO AS A PERSON WHO JUST WALKED INTO THE SITUATION NOT KNOWING WHAT THE SITUATION IS, BUT HAVING ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC DATA, I WOULD SAY YOU SHOULD NOT

213
00:58:55.283 --> 00:59:11.150
CONTINUE THIS CONTRACT WITH THEM.  THANK YOU. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE DREW. >> THANK YOU.  LIKE JAN, I DID NOT COME PREPARED TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS, BUT IT IS PRETTY MUCH THE

214
00:59:11.150 --> 00:59:28.150
SAME TOPIC WE COVER.  NO MASK POLICING?  WHY, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HOLD MASKED MEN ACCOUNTABLE.  JUST LIKE YOU CAN'T HOLD SOUND THINKING ACCOUNTABLE WHEN INEVITABLY PUTS SOMEONE FALSELY BEHIND BARS FOR A CRIME THEY DIDN'T.  AND OVERPOLICE IS ALREADY

215
00:59:28.150 --> 00:59:43.350
OVERPOLICED NEIGHBORHOODS HERE IN T CITY.  WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A BUNCH OF FLOCK CAMERAS AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT? WE ALL READ "1984" AND WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE THE TOOLS TO THE STATE.  THEY SAY THEY DO NOT RECORD CONVERSATIONS, BUT IN

216
00:59:43.350 --> 00:59:58.483
NIGH TIME SEARCHING, I COULD NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE THEY DO NOT RECORD CONVERSATIONS. IN FACT, THEY INSTANTLY RECORD AND TRANSMIT WIRELESSLY. WHETHER OR NOT THEY SAVE THE DATA IS ANOTHER QUESTION, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF MONEY IN

217
00:59:58.483 --> 01:00:15.816
SURVEILLANCE.  I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS THE TOOLS IN OUR CITY TO PAY THIS AND O OPPRESS US.  ONE MINUTE OF SEARCHING FOUND A STORY OF A MAN WHO SPENT A YEAR IN PRISON AND

218
01:00:15.816 --> 01:00:31.550
THE ONLY EVIDENCE THAT THE PROSECUTORS USED WAS FROM SOUND THINKING. AND HIS RELEASE WAS FOUND AND HE DID NOT DO IT.  I DON'T THINK WE CAN TAKE ANY CHANCES IN THE CITY.  WE ALREADY HAVE ISSUES WITH OVERLY INCARCERATING PEOPLE, WRONGFULLY INCARCERATING

219
01:00:31.550 --> 01:00:49.583
PEOPLE, AENED WITH -- AND WE DON'T NEED TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED WITH THAT.  AI INHERITS THE SAME BIASES THAT WE AS A SOCIETY HAVE. DO WE REALLY TRUST AI TO BE MAKING DECISIONS THAT COULD BE PUTTING PEOPLE BEHIND BARS AND NEVERED A CRIMINAL CASE?  IF --

220
01:00:49.583 --> 01:01:04.216
AND EVIDENCE IN A CRIMINAL CASE? AND SO I REALLY WANT THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THIS.  VOTE NO AGAINST IT. WE SHOULD USE TECHNOLOGY WHERE WE CAN.  BUT I DO NOT THINK THE TECHNOLOGY IS THERE.  I DO NOT THINK IT IS GOING TO BE USED IN

221
01:01:04.216 --> 01:01:21.283
A WAY THAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE ROB. >> ROB FROM WARD NINE.  I'M A PUBLIC SCHOOLTEACHER.  I JUST

222
01:01:21.283 --> 01:01:39.316
WANTED TO AGREE WITH BOTH JAN AND DREW ON THIS. SO I CAN'T FIND A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT SOUND THINKING INCORPORATED. I THINK I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT ON THE COUNCIL'S -- ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE SOMEWHERE SO WE CAN FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SOUND THINKING INCORPORATED. I DO KNOW THAT WITH SHOT

223
01:01:39.316 --> 01:01:56.516
SPOTTER, THERE'S -- IT'S BEEN WIDELY REPORTED IN NEW YORK AND CHICAGO, THERE WERE STUDIES DONE AND LESS THAN 16% CONFIRMATION RATES BASED ON SPOT SHOTTER AND LESS THAN 1% OF THAT LED TO THE RECOVERY OF A GUN. SO WHAT IS IT BEING USED FOR? IT'S A LOT OF MONEY AND MAKES US

224
01:01:56.516 --> 01:02:13.683
FEEL UNSAFE AS A RESULT OF HAVING A BUNCH OF MONITORING ALL AROUND THE CITY AT ALL TIMES. I ALSO WANTED TO JUST STATE FOR THE RECORD AT APPROXIMATELY 2:10, MICHAEL RAINVILLE TOOK A PICTURE OF ME RIGHT AFTER I SPOKE OUT OF TURN.  I APOLOGIZE, BY THE WAY.  BUT I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY LOOK BACK ON THE VIDEO.

225
01:02:13.683 --> 01:02:31.083
HE LEANED BACK AND TOOK A PICTURE.  IT MADE ME FEEL VERY UNSAY. I APOLOGIZE FOR SPEAKING OUT OF TURN, BUT I WANTED YOU TO HEAR THE TESTIMONY ABOUT THE PRIOR ISSUE BECAUSE MY SON HAD A GUN HELD UP IN HIS FACE. AND HE'S TWO YEARS OLD. I JUST WANT YOU TO HEAR THE REST

226
01:02:31.083 --> 01:02:49.150
OF THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY ON THE PRIOR TOPIC AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT. ALSO, I WOULD LOVE TO DISCUSS AFTERWARDS WHY YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF ME BECAUSE THAT MADE ME FEEL REALLY, REALLY UNSAFE. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE ALYSSA. AND THEN I'LL GIVE LAST WARNINGS

227
01:02:49.150 --> 01:03:03.183
TO SIGN UP TO SPEAK. >> AS MY COMRADES HAVE ALREADY POINTED OUT HERE, OUR COMMUNITIES DO NOT NEED MORE POLICING.  I KNOW FIRSTHAND AS A BLACK WOMAN BORN AND RAISED ON THE NORTH SIDE.

228
01:03:03.183 --> 01:03:22.950
SHOT SPOTTERS ARE NOT ALWAYS AC THERE IS PEOPLE HERE THAT WERE SO QUICK TO GO LOOK UP ON THE WEBSITE OF, YOU KNOW, ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING THE SHOT SPOTTERS ACTUALLY DO.  WE NEED MORE RESOURCES IN OUR COMMUNITIES, NOT MORE FUNDING

229
01:03:22.950 --> 01:03:40.016
SHOT SPOTTERS OR KEEPING THE CONTRACTS GOING.  THEY'RE STEADY, BLACK KIDS COMING UP MISSING.  BLACK KIDS BEING KILLED.  AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES. WHY ARE WE ASKING FOR MORE POLICING? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE RESOURCES GOING TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK

230
01:03:40.016 --> 01:03:56.083
LIKE MYSELF AND OUR COMMUNITIES TO DO THESE THINGS.  WE HAVE COMMUTATION CLINICS COMING UP. WE HAVE LOTS OF THINGS TO HELP THESE KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITIES NOT FOLLOW DOWN THE PATH OF BEING DEAD OR IN PRISON. WE NEED THOSE RESOURCES, NOT THE CITY.

231
01:03:56.083 --> 01:04:13.550
AND THE SHOT SPOTTER PEOPLE. THANK YOU. >> I THINK THAT'S IT.  I WILL GIVE THREE CHANCES TO SIGN UP. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE SIGN UP.  PLEASE SIGN UP.  PLEASE SIGN UPMENT

232
01:04:13.550 --> 01:04:30.083
SEEING NO ONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK, I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN UP THIS ITEM FOR DISCUSSION. FIRST ON THE AGENDA IS COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. SO I'VE WORKED QUITE A BIT

233
01:04:30.083 --> 01:04:47.150
AROUND THE SHOT SPOTTER ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.  AND WHAT IS VERY CLEAR AND WHAT WAS AMPLIFIED IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT IS THAT SHOT SPOTER IS A TECHNOLOGY THAT CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN SOLD BY BIG TECH AS A WAY TO HELP THEM ADDRESS THEIR PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES. YET THERE IS ACTUALLY VERY

234
01:04:47.150 --> 01:05:02.316
LITTLE DATA THAT ACTUALLY SUGGESTS THAT IT CONTRIBUTES TO HELPING SOLVE OR PREVENT CRIMES. AND BEING GOOD FISCAL STEWARDS MEANS THAT WE ONLY SPEND PUBLIC MONEY ON DATA-BACKED STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS.  IT HASN'T BEEN CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN, AND I

235
01:05:02.316 --> 01:05:18.483
APPRECIATE THE ANECDOTAL DATA THAT HAS BEEN SHARED TODAY, BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN SUBSTANTIAL ANALYTICAL DATA THAT SHOWS THE $4 MILLION AND I WANT TO NAME WHAT WAS SHARED AS THE FINANCIAL SOURCE IS NOT REFLECTED IN THE

236
01:05:18.483 --> 01:05:33.650
R.C.A. AND IT SHOWS THAT I.T., THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND 911 WILL BE SHARING THAT ST ACROSS THEIR RESPECTIVE BUDGETS.  AND IT MENTIONS THEIR OPATING BUDGET, SO MEANING TAXPAYER DOLLARS. SO I WANT TO NAME WHEN IT COMES

237
01:05:33.650 --> 01:05:50.283
TO US BEING ASKED TO APPROVE $4 MILLION TOWARDS THIS, THEN WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SAY CONCLUSIVELY THERE IS DATA THAT SHOWS THAT IT IS GOING TO YIELD REDUCTION IN GUN VIOLENCE. AND THIS IS A WORTHY CONSIDERATION SINCE WE HAVE ACTUALLY HAD A CONTRACT WITH SOUND THINKING FOR THEIR SHOT

238
01:05:50.283 --> 01:06:06.916
SPOTTER SERVICES SINCE 2014. AND EVEN WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY FOR OVER 12EARS NOW, M.D.s SOLVE RATES FOR HOMICIDES AND NONFATAL SHOOTINGS WERE SOME OF THE WORST IN THE COUNTRY. AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE CITIES WHO DO NOT USE THIS AS A

239
01:06:06.916 --> 01:06:23.916
TOOL AND HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.  IN FACT F WE JUST LOOK ACROSS THE RIVER AT ST. PAUL, THEY DO NOT HAVE SHOT SPOTTER.  THEY HAVE REACHED 100% SOLVE RATES FOR HOMICIDES AND SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER RATES OF GUN

240
01:06:23.916 --> 01:06:41.483
VIOLENCE IN GENERAL. ONE OF THE KEY STRATEGIES THEY USED TO CREATE THIS IS THE CREATION OF A NONFATAL TASK FORCE, WHICH ALSO I HELPED LEAD THE COUNCIL IN APPROPRIATING NEARLY $2 MILLION TOWARDS, AND EVEN WITH THIS IMPLEMENTATION, WE'VE SEEN HAVING DEDICATED RESOURCING OF PHYSICAL BODIES,

241
01:06:41.483 --> 01:06:58.250
INVESTIGATORS, WORKING IN A COORDINATED WAY HAS BEEN ABLE TO DOUBLE OUR CLOSURE RATES FOR NONFATAL SHOOTINGS. AND I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE YOU DO NOT NEED THIS PARTICULAR TOOL AS SHOWN IN ST. PAUL TOCHIEVE THE SAME RESULT.  AGAIN, IT BEGS THE QUESTION OF, YOU KNOW, IS THE $2

242
01:06:58.250 --> 01:07:13.850
MILLION REALLY GIVING OR WOULD IT GIVE US A GOOD INVESTMENT OF RETURN?  ALSO, I WANT TO NOTE BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS FOR THIS FOR TWO YEARS, THIS BODY, THE COUNCIL ASKED THE CITY AUDITOR TO CARRY OUT AN INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS ON

243
01:07:13.850 --> 01:07:29.816
THE EFFICACY OF SHOT SPOTTER. AND THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED AUGUST OF THIS YEAR.  2026. AND IT IS NOT GOOD GOVERNANCE TO INVEST IN A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL AND EXPANSIVE DATA.  SO I AM

244
01:07:29.816 --> 01:07:48.983
PROPOSING AND GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM BY A PSYCH SOL THIS WILL COME BACK BEFORE US AT THE JUNE, I BELIEVE, 17 PHSE MEETING BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN IN CONVERSATIONS WITH O.C.S. LEADERSHIP ABOUT AN

245
01:07:48.983 --> 01:08:04.883
INTERIM APPROACH TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAINTAINING SOME LEVEL OF EXISTING SERVICE.  TO HAVE A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT.  FROM MY UPPER AIR DISTURBANCING THERE WAS RECEPTIVETY -- FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE IS RECEPTIVENESS AND THAT YOU HAVE COME AND SHARED THAT IN YOUR PRESENTATION.

246
01:08:04.883 --> 01:08:22.316
BUT SINCE YOU HAVE NOT, I AM GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS BY ONE CYCLE TO HAVE A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION AND THE CITY AUDITOR THAT IS ACTIVELY OVERSEEING THE INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF THIS

247
01:08:22.316 --> 01:08:38.416
CONTRACT RECOMMENDED IN THEIR MEMO TO AND HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT THAT THERE ARE STILL OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS AND SO MANY DATA POINTS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESEARCHED BEFORE MAKING A DECISION LIKE THIS OF APPROPRIATING NEARLY $4

248
01:08:38.416 --> 01:08:54.883
MILLION IN A THREE-YEAR EXTENSION WITH THIS PARTICULAR TECH COMPANY.  WITH THAT, I WILL ASK FOR A SECOND. >> SECOND. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANKYOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  AND THANK YOU SO MUCH, D.C. RIDDLE

249
01:08:54.883 --> 01:09:11.650
AND DIRECTOR HODNE FOR THE PRESENTATION.  I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS I'M A FAN OF SPOT SHOTTER, AND I'M A FAN OF SHOT SPOTTER BECAUSE THIS NORTHSIDE APPRECIATE THIS IS AND USES THIS AS A TOOL TO SAVE LIVES. THE STORY THAT DIRECTOR HODNE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE MAN IN THE

250
01:09:11.650 --> 01:09:27.250
CAR WITH THE GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE HEAD, AND HIS TWO CHILDREN WHO GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WAS WONDERING AROUND IS ONE THAT IS VERY FAMILIAR ON THE NORTH SHOTS

251
01:09:27.250 --> 01:09:42.850
AND CALLS NOT COMING IN AND SHOT SPOTTER BEING THE RESOURCE AND THE TOOL FOR THE POLICE TO GET THERE AND FOR OTHERS TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.  I MEAN, YOU TOLD FOUR OR FIVE STORIES. THERE IS HUNDREDS OF STORIES.

252
01:09:42.850 --> 01:09:59.916
THE TECHNOLOGY WAS INTRODUCED TO MINNEAPOLIS BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS SHOT AND WAS HIDING IF BUSHES AND NO ONE KNEW WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT STORY HAPPENS A LOT. SO IN MY OPINION AND FOLKS I HAVE HEARD FROM THE NORTH SIDE

253
01:09:59.916 --> 01:10:15.916
WHO HAVE SHOWN UP HERE, TIME AND TIME AND AGAIN TO SAY THAT WE WANT THIS TECHNOLOGY.  WE BELIEVE THAT SHOT SPOTER IS A TOOL THAT THE POLICE USE TO SAVE LIVES.  AND TO GET HELP AND

254
01:10:15.916 --> 01:10:32.083
THERE IS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION THAT COMES THROUGH 911.  A LOT. WHEN PIEEOPLE ARE IN CRISIS AND TRYING TO GET HELP, THEY DON'T ACTUALLY SAY WHAT IS HAPPENING. THEY SAY WHAT YOU THINK IS HAPPENING.  AND THAT IS NOT

255
01:10:32.083 --> 01:10:47.183
ALWAYS THE CASE. SO WE NEED AKIGS EDITIONAL RESOURCES.  -- WE NEED ADDITIONAL RESOURCE.  SHOT SPOTTER IS NOT THE END ALL, BE ALL.  YOU SAID IT RIGHT, D.C. RIDDLE.  IT IS A TOOL AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEWS TO HELP WITH

256
01:10:47.183 --> 01:11:04.050
INVESTIGATIONS AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU USE TO, YOU KNOW, HELP WITH GETTING TO A SCENE AND KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED. I CAN RECALL HEARING WHAT GUNSHOTS AND FELT LIKE VERY

257
01:11:04.050 --> 01:11:19.483
CLOSE TO MY HOUSE AND CALLING IT AND FINDING OUT THEY WERE AT THE RIVER, WAY FAR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. BECAUSE OF THE SOUND IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS AND HOW THINGS RADIATE, SOMETIMES THEY SOUND NEXT TO YOU AND SOMETIMES FAR AWAY.  BUT WE'RE FORTUNATE TO

258
01:11:19.483 --> 01:11:32.250
HAVE TECHNOLOGY WHERE WE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. SO I'M A SUPPORTER OF THIS.  I'M GOING TO BE A SUPPORTER OF THIS. I DO NOT SUPPORT DELAYING THIS. I CERTAINLY THINK THERE IS AN

259
01:11:32.250 --> 01:11:50.550
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS.  I DON'T UNDERSTAND FOR THE FOLKS WHO WANT TO GET RID OF IT, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE AN AL TERN TIFR TO THE NORTH SIDE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT SHOT SPOTTER. AND THIS CONVERSATION HAPPENS

260
01:11:50.550 --> 01:12:08.683
ABOUT GETTING RID OF SHOT SPOTTER, BUT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE CAN OFFER UP. AND I AM NOT GOING TO PUT THE TIME AND WORK INTO THAT BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO PUT THE TIME AND WORK INTO THAT BECAUSE I SUPPORT SHOT SPOTTER AND DOES A

261
01:12:08.683 --> 01:12:24.316
GOOD JOB TO KNOW WHERE THIS VIOLENCE IS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AND SO YEAH, I JUST REALLY WOULD -- I'M REALLY TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE PRESENTATION AND WHAT WE KNOW SHOT SPOTTER IS DOING IS ALWAYS ON THE CHOPPING

262
01:12:24.316 --> 01:12:39.416
BLOCK WHEN, LIKE, TECHNOLOGY HAS TO BE USED IN THESE TIMES AND IT'S A PART OF HOW WE LIVE IN THE WORLD NOW. TECHNOLOGY IS A BIG PIECE OF THAT. I USE MY PHONE EVERY DAY.  I USE NIGH TV AND THE HAIR DRYER.  ALL

263
01:12:39.416 --> 01:12:57.150
THE THINGS.  TECHNOLOGY IS A PART OF OUR LIVES NOW. AND SHOT SPOTTER IS A BIG PIECE OF THAT. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. JUST A FEW QUESTIONS, SO I DON'T

264
01:12:57.150 --> 01:13:12.883
KNOW FIT'S BETTER FOR DIRECTOR OR D.C. RIDDLE. I THINK FIRST QUESTION HERE AS IT SPECIFICALLY RELATES TO, I THINK, THE MOTION TO DELAY HERE. IF EITHER OF YOU CAN SPEAK TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF IF THIS --

265
01:13:12.883 --> 01:13:30.750
DOES THIS CONTRACT STAY IN PLACE?  IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S AN EXTENSION THROUGH THROUGH MARCH 21, 2029.  HAVE WE -- ARE WE ALREADY EXPIRED IN THAT CONTRACT?  AND IF IT IS, IF THERE IS A MOTION TO DELAY,

266
01:13:30.750 --> 01:13:47.983
LOOKS LIKE FOR A CYCLE, WOULD THERE BE ANY LAPSE IN SERVICE IN THE MEANTIME? >> CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER, THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN EXPIRED. SOUND THINKING HAS BEEN FLOATING THE BILL SINCE THE EXPIRATION AWAITING NOR TO GET BEFORE THIS BODY.

267
01:13:47.983 --> 01:14:04.816
AND AFTER MEETING WITH VICE CHAIR, HE EXPRESSED -- AND POTENTIALLY RIGHTFULLY SO, THE CONCERN OF DOING A LON-TERM CONTRACT BEFORE THE CITY AUDITOR'S REPORT COMES OUT. I DO NOT THINK THAT THINKING IS FLAWED.  I THINK THAT IS FAIR.

268
01:14:04.816 --> 01:14:23.250
BASED AND THE FEEDBACK, I PROACTIVELY REACHED OUT TO SOUND THINKING AND THEY ARE WILLING TO DO A SHORTER TERM CONTRACT TO GIVE THE CITY THE ABILITY TO NOT ONLY KEEP THE COVERAGE THAT THEY HAVE. THERE'S ALSO AN OPTION TO DO THE EXPANSION IF THE BODY SO CHOOSES. AND ALSO WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR

269
01:14:23.250 --> 01:14:42.516
THIS BODY TO EVALUATE, FIRST OF ALL, WHAT THE CITY AUDITOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS ARE, AND ALSO FOR THE BODY TO POTENTIALLY MAKE A DETERMINATION OF WHAT THEY ARE EXPECTING THE SUCCESS TO LOOK LIKE SO THAT WHEN WE HAVE HAVING

270
01:14:42.516 --> 01:14:57.616
FUTURE CONVERSATIONS, WE CAN GIVE YOU THE DATA TO SAY THIS IS EFFECTIVE.  THIS ISN'T EFFECTIVE. BUT LIKE MANY THINGS, THE SHOT SPOTTER, ONCE AGAIN, THAT IS A CHALLENGING MATRIX.  IT IS PART OF AN ECOSYSTEM.  AND SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SUCCESS, WAS

271
01:14:57.616 --> 01:15:14.983
IT THE SHOT SPOTTER?  WAS IT THE NONFATAL SHOOT TEAM?  AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. AND SO I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO SIT DOWN WITH ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM TO COME UP WITH WHAT THAT DATA SET LOOKS LIKE. AND IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE ABLE TO GIVE YOU AS ACCURATE REPORT WE

272
01:15:14.983 --> 01:15:31.816
CAN GIVER YOU.  ONCE AGAIN, WE WANT YOU TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS THAT ARE BEST FOR THE CITY. >> THANK YOU.  AND THAT'S EXTREMELY HELPFUL. D.C., I APPRECIATE THAT.  I HAVE

273
01:15:31.816 --> 01:15:48.750
CONTINUED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF THE SHOT SPOTTER SYSTEM, AND SOUNDS LIKE THAT WILL COME UP AT A LATER DATE AND ENJOY A CONVERSATION TO FIGURE OUT THOSE EFFICACY POINTS ON THIS. AND SO I APPRECIATE THE NOTES THERE.  THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.  THANK YOU.  I

274
01:15:48.750 --> 01:16:06.250
HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, D.C. RIDDLE. SO THE CONTRACT HAS EXPIRED, BUT IT'S STILL EXISTING, CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> IF THERE IS A SHOOTING -- >> YES, IT IS STILL ACTIVE. SOUND THINKING BECAUSE THEY KNEW THE CONTRACT WAS COMING EARLY

275
01:16:06.250 --> 01:16:22.683
ON, AND I KNOW THIS WAS SET FOR AGENDA AND GOT MOVED. AND THEY CONTINUOUSLY AGREE TO CONTINUE IT, BUT AFTER FEEDBACK FROM VICE CHAIR THIS AFTERNOON, BASED ON THE, AS I SAID T CITY AUDITOR'S REPORT THAT IS

276
01:16:22.683 --> 01:16:40.116
IMMINENTLY GOING TO BE REPORTED, I DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH SOUND THINKING.  ONCE AGAIN, I DO OFFER UP THEY HAVE AGREED TO DO A SHORTER TERM CONTRACT IF THIS BODY SO SEES FIT. JUST TO CLARIFY A DELAY OF A

277
01:16:40.116 --> 01:16:56.650
CYCLE WOULDN'T STOP THIS PROGRAM IF EXISTING. IT WOULD JUST, STILL HAPPEN.  I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC UNDERSTOOD THAT. AND THEN CAN THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS TALK ABOUT THEIR POSITION ON THE ONE-YEAR TIMELINE?

278
01:16:56.650 --> 01:17:12.550
I THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT. I THINK ONE THING THAT WE SHOULD BE NAVIGATING HERE, I HOPE S WE'RE BEING ASKED FOR A THREE-YEAR EXTENSION. THERE IS AN AUDIT REPORT COMING OUT ON THE SHOT SPOTTER IN AUGUST. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS FOR

279
01:17:12.550 --> 01:17:28.183
THREE YEARS WHEN WE DON'T KNOW THE RESULTS OF THE AUDIT REPORT. I THINK A GOOD COMPRISE IS EXTENDING IT FOR ONE YEAR.  AND THEN WE AS COUNCIL START ANALYZING WHAT THE AUDIT REPORT SAYS. I THINK THAT'S WHY THE DELAY IS BEING OFFERED TODAY.  WILL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BE BRINGING --

280
01:17:28.183 --> 01:17:45.216
IF THIS IS DELAYED A CYCLE, WILL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BRING THE ONE-YEAR EXTENSION? >> I DON'T KNOW IF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL DO IT, BUT SOMEBODY WILL.  SOMEONE WILL BRING THAT FORTH. IF THE BODY FEELS THAT THE ONE YEAR IS MORE APPROPRIATE --

281
01:17:45.216 --> 01:18:01.350
I FORGET -- AND TALK TO SOUND THINKING AND PULLED THE NUMBERS IN PREPARATION FOR THAT QUESTION. >> HE IS SAYING THEY CAN DO THE ONE-YEAR CONTRACT RIGHT NOW. WHY WOULD WE DELAY IT IF THAT IS THE ISSUE?

282
01:18:01.350 --> 01:18:18.550
>> THAT IS NOT THE PROCESS. >> HE IS SAYING WITHIN THIS CYCLE, WE CAN HAVE A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT.  THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS OKAY WITH THAT.  THAT IS WHAT I AM IN QUEUE FOR, TOO, TO CLARIFY THAT.  IF HE CAN DO THAT IN THIS CYCLE, WHY WOULD WE DELAY IT? >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, YOU ARE

283
01:18:18.550 --> 01:18:33.916
ON QUEUE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  S I WAS ASKING THE EXACT CLARIFYING QUESTION.  IN THIS CYCLE, WOULD WE BE ABLE TO CHANGE THIS TO A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT INSTEAD OF A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT?

284
01:18:33.916 --> 01:18:50.583
>> CHAIR CHAVEZ, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.  PERHAPS I CAN HELP CLEAR IT UP A LITTLE.  WE JUST AS WE WERE COMING IN TO DO THIS PRESENTATION THIS AFTERNOON GOT ALL THE FINAL NUMBERS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS FOR A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT, SO THAT IS WHY IT WASN'T BUILT INTO THIS

285
01:18:50.583 --> 01:19:07.150
PRESENTATION.  HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE THE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF US. D.C. RIDDLE HAS HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SOUND THINKING TO BE ABLE TO DO THE E ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT THIS AUDIT REPORT IS COMING OUT, WHICH I BELIEVE THEY DID JUST

286
01:19:07.150 --> 01:19:23.316
SEND SOMETHING TO PERHAPS CHAIR CHAVEZ TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE IN LINE WITH GETTING THAT DONE AND GETTING THAT AUDIT IN IN AUGUST. >> THANK YOU. >> DIRECTOR.  AND SO, YES, I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT. I THINK IT'S REASONABLE TO SAY

287
01:19:23.316 --> 01:19:38.350
LET'S EXTEND THIS OUT FOR A YEAR AND HAVE THE ONE-YEAR CONTRACT AND GET THE AUDIT REPORT, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD DELAY A CYCLE.  AND IF IT'S AN AMENDMENT, I AM HAPPY TO BRING AN AMENDMENT FORWARD TO THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, BUT I THINK WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS IN

288
01:19:38.350 --> 01:19:56.950
A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT. >> CITY ATTORNEY? >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.  FROM A PROCEDURAL PERSPECTIVE HERE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A NEGOTIATED CONTRACT WHERE ALL THE TERMS WERE AGREED TO WITH

289
01:19:56.950 --> 01:20:13.683
THREE YEARS ASSUMED. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE NEED TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE PARTIES TO GO BACK TO THE TABLE.  IT SOUND LIKE SOUND THINKING IS INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH THE CITY.  IT SOUND LIKE THE M.P.D. IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO BRING FORWARD A ONE-YEAR PLAN, BUT THE

290
01:20:13.683 --> 01:20:29.950
TERMS OF THE CONTRACT MIGHT NOT LOOK THE SAME WITH ONE YEAR VERSUS THREE YEARS. AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE TIME BE ALLOWED FOR ALL OF THE PARTIES TO GET BACK TO THE TABLE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS FROM A NUMBERS PERSPECTIVE. WITH THAT BIG OF A CHANGE TO A MATERIAL TERM.

291
01:20:29.950 --> 01:20:46.316
AND THEN BRING IT FORWARD.  AND IF THAT CAN HAPPEN IN EIGHT DAYS, GREAT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. AND JUST SUGGEST ALLOWING TIME FOR NEGOTIATION. >> COUNCIL MEMBER -- COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, ARE YOU STILL IN QUEUE?

292
01:20:46.316 --> 01:21:02.116
>> YES. >> OKAY. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THAT COULD HAPPEN.  I DON'T WANT TO JUST ASSUME IT CAN'T.  BUT I UNDERSTAND THE TIME.  I SUPPORT THE TIME TO NEGOTIATE THE PROPER CONTRACT.  BUT I'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN COUNCIL CYCLE.

293
01:21:02.116 --> 01:21:18.950
>> ARE YOU ASKING A QUESTION? >> D.C., WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? HOW MUCH TIME DO WE NEED FOR THIS, DO YOU THINK? >> I CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW, CHAIR. THROUGH THE MEMBER.  WELL, IT IS THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT AS FAR AS THE FINANCIAL TERMS ARE IDENTICAL.  THEY HAVE NOT FLUCTUATED. >> THE CITY ATTORNEY IS SAYING,

294
01:21:18.950 --> 01:21:35.066
THOUGH, THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY AGREE UPON THE CONTRACT IS WHAT I AM HEARING. IS THAT WHATEVER T TERMS ARE, THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE BOTH PARTIES ARE AGREEING BACK AT THE TABLE.  WHAT I'M ASKING IS, DO WE THINK THAT CAN HAPPEN -- BEFORE THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING?

295
01:21:35.066 --> 01:21:53.100
>> CHAIR, COUNCIL PERSON, I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.  TO YOUR CONCERN, THE CONTRACT FOR THE THREE YEAR THAT WAS PROPOSED INCLUDES A GRANDFATHERED FEE PER SQUA MILE, WHICH IS 33,000.

296
01:21:53.100 --> 01:22:09.166
THE CURRENT RATE IS 75,000 FOR NEW CONTRACTS.  AND THE PROPOSED ONE-YEAR CONTRACT THAT SOUND THINKING PRESENTED TO ME WHILE WE WERE COMING OVER HERE MAINTAINS THE $33,000 PRICE PER

297
01:22:09.166 --> 01:22:25.000
SQUARE MILE.  THAT THE $33,000 DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY EXPANSION. THE EXPANSION WAS PRICED COMPLETELY SEPARATE. SO FARCE THE TERMS, I DON'T THINK THAT'S -- THAT'S NOT MY ARENA. THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE'S ARENA. AND THE TERMS FOR THE FINANCES

298
01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:40.700
AND EVERYTHING ELSE, I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE DEVIATED. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE EXIDEINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET THIS DONE IN A TIMELY FASHION. . >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  I AM ASKING WE ALLOW THIS PROCESS

299
01:22:40.700 --> 01:22:57.266
TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE CAN DELAY AT THIS POINT AND IF IT'S NOT SOLVED.  AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION AND NOT SOLVED BY THE END OF THE CYCLE, WE CAN DELAY IT AT THAT POINT. I WOULD LIKE US TO AT LEAST TRY TO GET THAT ONE-YEAR CONTRACT ON THE DOCKET THIS TIME AROUND IF

300
01:22:57.266 --> 01:23:12.766
POSSIBLE. >> COUIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. I'M STANDING FIRM ON THE DELAY MOSTLY BECAUSE MY OFFICE MET WITH O.C.S. LEADERSHIP LAST FRIDAY.  AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS AND ACTUALLY THIS PROCESS IS NOTHING DIFFERENT

301
01:23:12.766 --> 01:23:29.700
THAN WHAT WE DID A YEAR AGO. MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A PROCEDURAL OVERLOOK, BUT YOU CANNOT JUST QUICKLY GO AND DO A CONTRACT AMENDMENT, EVEN GOING TO A ONE-YEAR RM, WITHOUT HAVING OUR LEGAL TEAM INVOLVED, FINANCE PROCUREMENT.  IT CANNOT

302
01:23:29.700 --> 01:23:45.650
BE RUSHED. BASED OFF THAT PROCESS, EVEN O.C.S. LEADERSHIP RECOMMENDED ACTUALLY INSTEAD OF HAVING SENDING THIS BACK TOSTAFF, DELAY IT FOR A CYCLE SO THAT YOU ALL CAN GO DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND FOLLOW THE ADVICE SHARED BY OUR CITY ATTORNEY, AND THAT'S

303
01:23:45.650 --> 01:24:01.100
COMMON BEST PRACTICE. SO THAT IS THE GOAL.  THE GOAL IS TO STILL DO A ONE YEAR. COUNCIL MEMBERS SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW.  WE CAN'T SUBMIT AMENDMENTS REGARDING THIS. YOU ALL AS M.P.D. ARE THE ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT AND THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD THEN NEED

304
01:24:01.100 --> 01:24:17.283
TO PROVIDE THEPDATES THAT HAS BEEN CLEARED BY OUR CITY ATTORNEYS AN EVERYONE ELSE. SO I HOPE EVERYONE WOULD KNOW THE PROPE PROCESS SO LEGALLY WE CAN DO THIS CORRECTLY AND GIVING US A CYCLE WHERE THERE'S NO INTERRUPTION IN OUR EXISTING

305
01:24:17.283 --> 01:24:35.233
SERVICE ALLOWS US TO DO THAT. AND IT IS GREAT THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE FIGURES.  GO WORK WITH OUR EXPERTS TO PUT THAT IN THE APPROPRIATE PAPER WORK SO WHEN WE TAKE THIS UP, IT'S DONE THE RIGHT WAY. SO THAT IS WHY I'M STANDING FIRM ON THE ONE CYCLE DELAY.  I WOULD

306
01:24:35.233 --> 01:24:50.550
HAVE LOVED IF YOU ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS PROCESS BY NEXT C.O.W., BY FULL COUNCIL, BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT IS NOT THE CASE.  I'M SORRY, I AM HEARING LOUD WHISPERS.  IT IS HARD TO HEAR MYSELF. COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, CAN I

307
01:24:50.550 --> 01:25:07.500
FINISH MY COMMENTS?  SORRY, YOUR WHISPERS ARE A LITTLE BIT LOUD. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE IS CLARIFICATION ON THAT PIECE. AND WITH THAT I STILL MOVE THE ITEM FOR DELAY BY ONE CYCLE. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE.  I THINK I HAVE A PLAN.

308
01:25:07.500 --> 01:25:24.416
ONE, I WILL START OFF BY SAYING I MENTION THESE CONCERNS IN AGENDA SETTING. HIS ISN'T A SURPRISE FOR ANYBODY.  IT SHOULDN'T BE A SURPRISE FOR STAFF TO HEAR THE STAFF THAT I HAVE CONCES ABOUT AN AUDIT COMING IN AUGUST. I MENTION THAT I WOULD SUPPORT A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT.  THAT WAY THIS BODY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK DEEP INTO THE ANALYSIS.  I

309
01:25:24.416 --> 01:25:40.133
DON'T LIKE SHOT SPOTTER AND DON'T SUPPORT THE USE OF SHOT SPOTTER, BUT I WANT TO FIND A COMPRISE, THAT IS A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION TO TAKE ANALYSIS AND STUDY THE ISSUE.  AND FOR US, HERE IS WHAT I WILL COMMIT TO. AND ONE, I WILL SUPPORT COUNCIL

310
01:25:40.133 --> 01:25:56.783
MEMBER WONSLEY'S MOTION. HOWEVER, IF STAFF IS ABLE TO FINALIZE THE ONE-YEAR AGREEMENT, I WOULD SUPPORT TO GETTING THIS OUT OF COMMITTEE AT FULL COUNCIL.  HOWEVER, THAT WOULD REQUIRE 13 VOTES.  THE ONLY REASON WE WOULD DO THAT IS YOU WOULD HAVE THE ONE-YEAR EXTENSION.  IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE

311
01:25:56.783 --> 01:26:13.200
AND GET IT DONE BY FULL COUNCIL, I WILL VOTE FOR THE MOTION. HOWEVER, I HOPE YOU HEAR THERE IS CONCERNS OF US GETTING THIS OUT OF COMMITTEE AND THIS CONVERSATION THAT WE JUST HAD DOESN'T HAPPEN.  AND I WILL COMMIT TO IS SUPPORTINGOUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY'S MOTION AND TO

312
01:26:13.200 --> 01:26:29.316
WORK QUEBECLY ON THE ONE-YEAR EXTENSION AND BRING IT TO FULL COUNCIL.  WE'LL GO TO THE 13 VOTES TO GET IT OUT OF COMMITTEE AND VOTE ON THAT ONE-YEAR EXTENSION. ARE FOLKS HERE OKAY WITH THAT? >> YES, BUT AGAIN, THEY WERE

313
01:26:29.316 --> 01:26:45.066
ASKED BEFORE THIS STARTED TO WALK ON A ONE-YEAR DEAL. THAT IS WHAT IS CHALLENGING FOR ME.  THEY WERE ASKED TO BRING A ONE-YEAR DEAL TO THE ROOM AND THEY DID.  AND NOW SAYING IT NEEDS A DELAY. >> WE COULD BRING IT FORWARD AND PROCEDURAL LAST MINUTE.  THERE

314
01:26:45.066 --> 01:27:01.450
WAS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE LAST MINUTE WHOLE NEW CONTRACT OF A ONE-YEAREXTENSION.  THE DETAILS NEED TO GET FIGURED OUT AND FINALIZED AND MAKE SURE IT IS LEGLY SOUND WITH THE CITY ATTORNEYS AS WELL.  HERE THE DELAY FOR A PSYCHLE IS -- CYCLE

315
01:27:01.450 --> 01:27:17.433
IS TO GET IT LEGALLY RIGHT.  WE CAN WALK IT ON WITH UNANIMOUS COENT. >> I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT. I JUST WANT TO SAY AGAIN, THEY WERE ASKED TO WALK ON A ONE-YEAR DEAL TODAY, AND THEYROUGHT THE ONE-YEAR DEAL TODAY.

316
01:27:17.433 --> 01:27:33.850
>> I DID ASK STAFF TO BRING IT TODAY. >> THANK YOU. >> I ASKED THEM TO BRING IT FORWARD BASED ON CONVERSATIONS INGENDA SETTING AND WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS I WAS WALKING BACK INTO MY CAR AFTER CONVERSATIONS WITH CITY CLERKS, THEY DID MENTION THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO BE ABLE TO WALK THAT ON.  THAT BEING SAID, I THINK THAT IN

317
01:27:33.850 --> 01:27:52.133
ITSELF WOULD PROBABLY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE LAST FEW MINUTES THAT WE TALK BEFORE COMMITTEE, SO YES COLLEAGUES, CAN WE JUST AGREE TO FIGURE THIS OUT?  IS THAT OKAY? OKAY. SO WE'LL MOVE THIS DRA DELAY TO

318
01:27:52.133 --> 01:28:09.600
THE NEXT PUBLICHEALTH, SAFETY AND EQUITY COMMITTEE.  THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SECONDED.  IF THIS IS FIGURED OUT BY FULL COUNCIL, PLEASE WORK WITH THE OFFICE TO BRING IT TO FULL COUNCIL AND ASKED FOR UNANIMOUS CONSENT.  IS THAT OKAY?  ALL RIGHT.  ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.  THOSE

319
01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:31.733
OPPOSEDAY NAY.  AND ANY ABSTENTIONS?

320
01:28:31.733 --> 01:28:51.166
>> THIS WAS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT THE CONTRACT, BUT ME TRYING TO PROVIDE YOU AND THE BOARD DATA IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE. THIS WAS NOT A NEGOTIATION. THIS WAS MORE OF JUST A FACT FINDING TO PROVIDE YOU TO THIS BODY.  THAT WAS SIMPLY IT.

321
01:28:51.166 --> 01:29:07.616
ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES.  VICE CHAIR WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, D.C. RIDDLE. AGAIN, WE HAVE BEEN IN NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS AROU THIS.  WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT, AND I THINK THIS IS A BY-PRODUCT OF YOUR RELATIVELY NEW TO THIS PROCESS, BUT WHEN WE SAY WALK ON AN ITEM, AS WE'VE

322
01:29:07.616 --> 01:29:25.266
DONE BEFORE, THERE IS AN ACTUAL AMENDED CONTRACT THAT THIS BODY WOULD HAVE CONDERED THAT WOULD HAVE ONE YEAR AS PART OF IT. IT WOULD HAVE HAD UPDATED FINANCIAL NUMBERS ON THERE, AND UPDATED TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THINGS THAT OUR CITY ATTORNEY REFERENCED. THAT WAS NOT PROVIDED TODAY.

323
01:29:25.266 --> 01:29:41.050
AND THAT IS WHAT WAS COMMUNICATED IN PRIOR MEETINGS. IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT TODAY, OF URSE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AGREEMENT FOR THAT TO EXIT OUT OF THE COMMITTEE.  THAT WAS NOT PROVIDED BY TODAY, WE WILL GIVE YOU THE TIME TO GET THAT PAPER WORK FIGURED OUT BECAUSE THAT IS STANDARD PROCEDURE AND PROCESS.

324
01:29:41.050 --> 01:29:58.900
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY MALE INTENT.  I THINK THIS WAS -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND.  I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW, YES, WHAT LED TO THE ABSENCE OF A WALK-ON R.C.A. AND THE ACTUAL PAPER WORK THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED US TO DO OFFICIAL CONSIDERATION OF A ONE-YEAR. WHAT WE HEARD WAS A VERBAL

325
01:29:58.900 --> 01:30:14.333
AGREEMENT.  THAT IS GREAT.  THAT GIVES US THE BASIS TO DO THE ACTUAL, YOU KNOW, PAPER WORK AND THE LEGAL COMPONENT NEXT CYCLE. AND I THANK YOU FOR GOING BACK AND WORKING WITH SOUND THINKING TO GET US TO THIS PLACE. WE JUST HAVE TO PUT THIS IN THE PROPER PAPER WORK AND DO THIS

326
01:30:14.333 --> 01:30:31.233
THE RIGHT WAY AND MOVE FORWARD. SO THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU, ALSO, DIRECTOR HODNE. >> ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL.  I THINK WE GOT THROUGH ALL OFUR ITEMS. CORRECT? ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL.  SEEING -- WELL, THAT MOTION IS AT THE NEXT

327
01:30:31.233 --> 01:30:43.283
PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND EQUITY COMMITTEE MEETING.  THE NEXT DISCUSSION IS REGARDING A CONTRACT WITH COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNEHIP WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY FOR DIRECT ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ADMINISTRATION.  YES, WELCOME.

328
01:30:43.283 --> 01:31:12.200
>> THANK YOU.

329
01:31:12.200 --> 01:31:28.366
>> HELLO, CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBERS.  I AM ALICE FRALICK AND I WORK IN THE HEALTH CARE DEPARTMENT AND MANAGE THE SUSTAINABILITY TEAM WITH THE CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABILITY WORK GROUP.  I AM HERE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT UTILITY BILL

330
01:31:28.366 --> 01:31:44.416
ASSISTANCE AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE MOVINGFORWARD.  THIS IS A NEW PROGRAM.  SO IN MID 2026, SO THE MIDDLE OF THIS YEAR, MINNEAPOLIS WILL FUND

331
01:31:44.416 --> 01:32:01.200
RESIDENTIAL UTILITY BILL PAY ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY ACT PARTNERSHIP OF HENNEPIN COUNTY. S THAT NOT HENNEPIN COUNTY AS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY, BUT A DIFFERENT AGENCY, NONPROFIT THAT ADMINISTERS THE FUNDS.  THIS INITIATIVE WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH ALLOCATION OF

332
01:32:01.200 --> 01:32:17.616
FUNDS FROM A 2026 BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WAS PUT FORTH BY COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. AND IT'S THROUGH THE CLIMATE LEGACY FUND, SO PART OF THAT RESIDENTIAL ADDITION THAT WENT FORWARD THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS LAST YEAR, A PORTION OF

333
01:32:17.616 --> 01:32:34.366
THAT IS FUNDING THIS WORK. SO CAPHC, THE COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP OF HENNEPIN COUNTY, WITH GRANTS OF $500.  THESE MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE SERVED IF NOT FOR

334
01:32:34.366 --> 01:32:52.316
THISDDITIONAL EFFORT. THE ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO ENROLL IN THAT, IT REQUIRES AN APPLICATION AND DOCUMENTATION TO VERIFY INCOME.  THEY LOOK BACK A

335
01:32:52.316 --> 01:33:07.966
MONTH AT INCOME. THERE IS CRISIS ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE.  SO IF PEOPLE ARE FACING AN IMMEDIATE SHUTOFF, THERE IS IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR THAT. AND THE ELIGIBILI IS BASED AND HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND GROS INCOME.

336
01:33:07.966 --> 01:33:24.183
AND THE FUBDZ ARE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE UTILITY -- THE FUNDS ARE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE UTILITY AND CAN BE SPLIT AMONGST MULTIPLE UTILITIES. THE IS A Q.R. CODE THAT CAN TAKE YOU TO THE LANDING PAGE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE SLIDES AND WOULD LIKE TO UTILIZE

337
01:33:24.183 --> 01:33:39.966
THE Q.R. CODE TO LOOK FOR ASSISTANCE. THERE'S ALSO A WEBSITE. HERE IS A LOOK AT THE ELIGIBILITY.  THESE INCOMES ARE SET -- THESE INCOME THRESHOLDS ARE SET BY THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, DEPARTMENT OF

338
01:33:39.966 --> 01:33:56.650
COMMERCE AS OF MAY 2026.  SO THESE COULD CHANGE IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS. AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU. I CAN STAND FOR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  I

339
01:33:56.650 --> 01:34:12.100
DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.  I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR STEADFAST WORK IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND WHEN THIS FUNDING GOT ALLOCATED, IT WAS REALLY TO HEL WITH FOLKS WHO WERE SAYING THEY WERE STRUGGLING WITH THE UTILITY

340
01:34:12.100 --> 01:34:28.550
BILLS AND THAT STRUGGLE WITH UTILITY BILLS HAS PROBABLY MULTIPLIED 10 TIMES SINCE OPERATION METRO SURGE. ONE OF THE THINGS WE SAW WERE A LOT OF FOLKS NEEDED RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE.  BUT BY FAR WAY MORE

341
01:34:28.550 --> 01:34:48.633
FOLKS WHO NEEDED UTILITY ASSISTANCE.  I KNOW THE START OF THIS IS THE 240 FAMILIES AND I SEE THIS PROGRAM GROWING.  I'M GLAD THAT THE KIND OF PILOT AND

342
01:34:48.633 --> 01:35:04.366
SPREADING IT AROUND TO WHERE FOLKS NEED IT BECAUSE WE HEARD AT A LOT, TOO. IT'S NOT JUST LIGHT, NOT JUST GAS,OT JUST WATER. IT IS SOMETIMES A COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING, OR IT'S LARGE GAS BILL IN THE WINTER MONTHS. AND IT'S ALSO THE ONE THINGHAT

343
01:35:04.366 --> 01:35:20.600
I'M MOST EXCITED ABOUT, IT'S GOING TO HELP US IDENTIFY SOM OF THESE HOMES THAT NEED WINTERIZATION SERVICES AND LEAD SERVICES AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS.  BECAUSE THESE FOLKS ARE REACHING OUT AND TALKING TO US ABOUT THE UTILITY NEEDS AND SOMETIMES WE CAN TELL BY THE BILL AMOUNT THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY

344
01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:36.900
NEED OTHERELP IN THOSE HOUSEHOLDS.  AND THIS IS VERY EXCITING FOR ME. AS A MEMBER OF THE CAPHC BOARD, BUT ALSO AS A PERSON THAT'S HEARD A LOT THAT THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE NEED HELP AT. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HOW

345
01:35:36.900 --> 01:35:52.300
QUICKLY YOU ALL IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT PUT THIS PROGRAM TOGETHER AND WORKED WITH CAPHC TO IDENTIFY FAMILIES AND GET THIS MONEY OUT.  THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> YEAH.  THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ, AND ALSO WANTED TO

IS JUST THE PRESENTATION PROVIDING BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEWF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S GREEN CAREERS EXPLORATION PROGRAM AND A PUBLIC HEALTH PATHWAYS PROGRAM. AND BEFORE YOU BEGAN WITHOUT

ACTION, COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REFLECTED AS A YES ON THE PREVIOUS VOTE? >> YES, THANK YOU.  PLEASE, YES.

354
01:37:57.266 --> 01:39:17.266
>> WELCOME.

355
01:39:17.266 --> 01:39:32.200
WELCOME. >> CHAIR CHAVEZ, PRESIDENT PAYNE, AND THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE WONDERFUL COMMITTEE, PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY, EQUITY COMMITTEE IS A PRETTY COOL NAME. I AM GUSTO GARCIA.  I WORK WITH

356
01:39:32.200 --> 01:39:49.966
THE MINNEAPOLIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT.  I'M THE MANAGER FOR THE GREEN CAREER EXPLORATION PROGRAM. AND WE JUST GOING TO HAVE A SLIDE IN A LITTLE BIT COMING UPMENT BUT I CAN JUST PROBABLY USE THIS TIME TO GIVE YOU BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. THE GREEN CAREER EXPLORATION

357
01:39:49.966 --> 01:40:05.500
PROGRAM BASICALLY STARTED WITHIN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.  AND REALLY TO ADDRESS THE NEED TO INFORM, EXPOSE, EDUCATE, AND PROVIDE HELP TO CERTAIN MEMBERS

358
01:40:05.500 --> 01:40:29.066
OF OUR COMMUNITY -- AND TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES

359
01:40:29.066 --> 01:40:47.683
OF THIS, YOU KNOW, GROWING OR E OUT THAT THERE WERE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES THAT PROVIDE REALLY WHAT WE CONSIDER LIVABLE JOBS THAT WERE -- THAT HAD THE CAPACITY TO HELP INDIVIDUALS TO

360
01:40:47.683 --> 01:41:05.366
ACCUMULATE OR AT LEAST START BUILDING WEALTH.  WE PRIORITIZE PRETTY MUCH COMMUNITIES THAT ARE LOCATED IN AREAS WHO, YOU KNOW, HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN MARGINALIZED, DISENFRANCHISED.

361
01:41:05.366 --> 01:41:21.216
WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO LOCATIONS, ONE IN NORTH AND ONE IN SOUTH MINNEAPOS.  WE UNDERSTAND THAT PRIORITIZING AND ENGAGING PROMOTION AND ACCESS OF THE COMMUNITY FOR THE GREEN CAREERS

362
01:41:21.216 --> 01:41:38.400
PATHWAY, WE HOPE TO CREATE COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP AND ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL LEAD TOEN AN EQUITABLE CLIMATE FOR ALL. SO ONE QUESTION THAT COMES UP

363
01:41:38.400 --> 01:41:55.016
IS, WHAT IS A GREEN CAREER?  AND CURRENTLY I KNOW THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS ACTUALLY WORKING AND THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY COLLECTING INFORMATION TO COME UP WITH DEFINITION FOR WHAT ARE THOSE EXACTLY GREEN CAREERS.  BUT FOR

364
01:41:55.016 --> 01:42:10.300
US WHAT WE DID WAS WE WENT OUT AND PARTNERED WH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND CAME OUT WITH THEIR OWN DEFINITION, WHICH BASICALLY SAID THAT GREEN CAREERS ARE THOSE THAT IMPROVE THE ENERGY USE AND EFFICIENCY, REDUCE OR

365
01:42:10.300 --> 01:42:27.750
LIMIT GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS, MINIMIZE WASTE, POLLUTION, SUPPORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY AND BUILD ADAPTATION FOR THE CLIMATE CHANGE OR CHALLENGE TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE. IDEALLY, THOSE ARE REALLY WELL

366
01:42:27.750 --> 01:42:43.100
PAYING JOBS.  THEY CAN IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THOSE WHO ACTUALLY, THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY ARE WORKING, AND THE WORKERS AND ARE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE AND RESPECT THE RIGHTS AND PRACTICES OF OUR INDIGENOUS

367
01:42:43.100 --> 01:43:02.366
COMMUNITIES. SOHROUGH THIS PROGRAM WE DO WORK IN, I WILL SAY, THREE DIFFERENT PILLARS, WHICH IS EDUCATN, EXPOSURE, AND CREDENTIAL.  AND THAT EDUCATION

368
01:43:02.366 --> 01:43:19.233
START IN OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK WITH OUR UTH. SO WHAT WE DO IS WE BRING PROGR EXPOSURE AND ALSO WORK WITH

369
01:43:19.233 --> 01:43:33.900
INDUSTRY TO INTRODUCE CURRICULUM. WE CONSULT AND FIND WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR INDIVIDUALS IN THOSE CAREERS. AND IF THE CREDEIALS OR

370
01:43:33.900 --> 01:43:51.733
CERTIFICATES ARE NECESSARY, THE INFORMATION TOGETHER AND BNG IT TO OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.  WE REALLY LOOK THE GREEN CAREERS FROM THE EQUITY POINT OF VIEW.

371
01:43:51.733 --> 01:44:08.066
WE, AS I SAID IN THE BEGINNING, WE PRIORITIZE MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY.  WE UNDERSTAND THAT IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND GETTING OUR YOUTH AND YOUNG

372
01:44:08.066 --> 01:44:24.800
ADULTS INTO THIS GREEN CAREER, WE HAV TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE. SO WE -- THOSE AREREE TRAININGS.  AND WE ACTUALLY PAY THEM IN ORDER TO REMOVE THOSE BARRIERS, SOME OF THESE TRAININGS ACTUALLY CAN BE TIME

373
01:44:24.800 --> 01:44:41.400
BURDEN ZONE. AND SOME OF THEM CAN BE FROM A FEW WEEKS TO EVEN FOUR WEEKS. AND SO WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A LONG TIME TO HAVE AN INDIDUAL PARTICIPATING IN THE TRAINING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO AT LEAST

374
01:44:41.400 --> 01:44:58.933
BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES. WE REALLY, WHEN WE ALSO DO, WE ARE -- WE ARE TRAUMA INFORMED BECAUSE WE REALL RECRUIT AND WORK WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.  WE WO AND TRAIN THE TRAINER

375
01:44:58.933 --> 01:45:13.216
PROGRAMS THAT PREPARE INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY SO THEY IN THE FUTURE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT CAME OUT AND TRAID MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN COMMUNITY. AND MOST LIKELY THEY WILL BE INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY TRUST.

376
01:45:13.216 --> 01:45:31.200
AND HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK AT EXPOSURE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WERE WITH SOME INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE CULTURALLY SPECIFIC.  AS YOU CAN

377
01:45:31.200 --> 01:45:48.683
SEE THE AMES ACADEMY, THEY PRIMARILY SERVE T ACADEMY AND LATINO AND WE GET PPL.  WE GET NOT -- THEY MAINLY SERVE NATIVE AMERICANS.  AND LIKE I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, BY STRATEGICALLY

378
01:45:48.683 --> 01:46:05.933
HAVING THE LOCATION IN NORTH AND SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS GREEN ZONES, WE ARE ABLE TO REALLY CAPTURE THE HEART OF OUR POPULATION. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.IT

379
01:46:05.933 --> 01:46:22.516
REALLY IS. WE START AS EARLY AS DOES ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AND MOVE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HIGH SCHOOL. THAT EXPOSURE TO START RIGHT THERE AND ALL THAT IT TAKES FOR

380
01:46:22.516 --> 01:46:39.500
AN INDIVIDUAL TO SOMETIMES JUST HAVE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE TO START EXPRESSING INTEREST IN ONE OF THOSE FIELDS.  THAT IS THE ENVIRONMENT WE AIM TO PROVIDE. SOME OF OUR CREDENTIALS AND

381
01:46:39.500 --> 01:46:55.183
TRAININGS AND EXAMPLES IN RENEWABLE OR SOLAR TRAINING. THOSE AREATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CREDENTIAL.  INDIVIDUALS WHO COMPLETE THE TRAININGS AND ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN AND ESTABLISH CERTIFICATION WILL HAVE A HIGH

382
01:46:55.183 --> 01:47:14.066
OPPORTUNITY TO START WORKING IN THIS INDUSTRY. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT SOLAR, FOR INSTANCE, IIS NOT JUST THE INSTALLATION.  THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER ASPECT THAT INDIDUALS GO THROUGH THE TRAINING ARE NOT ABLE TO LEARN AND BE ABLE TO INTEGRE INTO THIS INDUSTRY.

383
01:47:14.066 --> 01:47:28.683
THIS IS ANOTHER REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE.  THIS IS OUR SUSTAINABLE TRAINING. AND WE PARTNER WITH ANOTHER GREAT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THIS PARTICULAR TRAINING. AND THE IDEA IS TO PREPARE

384
01:47:28.683 --> 01:47:45.666
INDIVIDUALS ALSO THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE IN THE SEASONAL EMPLOYMENT EVENT. WEATHERIZATION, THIS IS -- WE JUST HAVE A PRESENTATION OF ENERGY ASSISTANCE.

385
01:47:45.666 --> 01:48:01.283
BUT THIS IS ANOTHER WAY THAT WE CAN SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS BY HELPING THEM REDUCE THAT ENERGY USE BY REALLY TEACHING THEM, NUMBER ONE, AREAS IN WHICH THOSE ENERGY ARE LIVING

386
01:48:01.283 --> 01:48:19.583
IN THE SPACE AND WASTE AND THEN BEING ABLE TO -- THEY CAN UNDERSTAND AND WITH THAT BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE ENERGY COSTS.  WE MOVE INTO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS. THIS IS THE GEOGRAPHY AND ALL

387
01:48:19.583 --> 01:48:34.950
THE ATTRACTIVE TRAINING FOR YOUTH AND YOU AND ADULTS THAT REALLY SET THINGS OUT FOR THE PATHWAY IN THESE CAREERS. THIS IS SOME OF OUR NUMBERS AND IS 2024.

388
01:48:34.950 --> 01:48:52.316
I MEAN, WE HAD 235 PARTICIPANTS AND THIS WAS JUST THE FIRSTEAR ACTUALLY OF OUR CLIMATE LEGACY INITIATIVE.  AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE IMPACT IS 69% OFF THOSE

389
01:48:52.316 --> 01:49:07.383
POPULATIONS AND THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT WE REALLY ARE MOVING TO. THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR. AND AGAIN, WE INCREASE PROGRAMMING AND WITH OUR PARTICIPATION WITH THE TARGETED

390
01:49:07.383 --> 01:49:24.450
COMMUNITIES. SO WE ARE REALLY -- HOW ARE W ADVANCING CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN? REALLY TO THE GREEN CAREERS AND THROUGHDUCATING OUR COMMUNITIES AND TO EBB POSING AND THROUGH BUILDINGS TO BE PART

391
01:49:24.450 --> 01:49:40.933
OF THAT WAR FORCE.  WE ARE ADVANCING OUR COMMUNITIES AND PUTTING THEM IN A PATHWAY TO SUPPORT OUR OWN CLIMATE INITIATIVES. THIS IS JUST SOME EXAMPLE OF THE PARTNERS THAT WE WERE WITH.  AND

392
01:49:40.933 --> 01:50:00.916
SO QUESTIONS? >> I KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER PART OF THE PRESENTATION AFTER, RIGHT? HOW ABOUT WE -- HOW ABOUT WE FINISH THAT PART. AND THEN WE CAN MAYBE OPEN UP FOR DISCUSSION.  THANK YOU.

393
01:50:00.916 --> 01:50:17.866
>> WELCOME. >> HELLO, COUNCIL.  I AM GISELLE -- ALL RIGHT.  HELLO, COUNCIL.  I AM GISLELE MARTINEZ, A PUBLIC HEALTH SPECIALIST AT THE MINNEAPOLIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT. I WILL BE TELLING YOU ABOUT THE

394
01:50:17.866 --> 01:50:34.916
PUBLIC HEALTH PATHWAYS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.  ALL RIGHT. INTERNSHIP, AS I HAD MENTIONED S THE INTERNSHIP AT THE MINNEAPOLIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THIS INTERNSHIP IS FUNDED BY THE C.D.C. BIG GRANT AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT CREATED IN 2022 IN ORDER TO

395
01:50:34.916 --> 01:50:54.166
MITIGATE THE LESSENING OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE TO HELP DEPARTMENTS AND OVER 100 ACROSS THE NATION. AND WE WERE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FUNDING FROM PHIG AND THIS IS A FIVE-YEAR GRANT FROM 2022 TO 27.  WE WERE ABLE TO BEGIN THE PUBLIC HEALTH PATHWAYS

396
01:50:54.166 --> 01:51:11.950
PROGRAM IN 2024. FOCUSSING SPECIFICALLY ON THE WORKFORCE STRATEGY OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT, SO WITH THE WORKFORCE FOCUSSING ON RECRUITING, RETAINING AND SUPPORTING THE WORKFORCE AND

397
01:51:11.950 --> 01:51:28.733
SOME SHORT-TERM GOALS IS TO INCREASE THE HIRING OF DIVERSE STAFF AND FOR LONG-TERM GOALS THAT INCLUDES INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE IN GENERAL. >> ALL RIGHT.  SO THE PUBLIC HEALTH PHWAYS PROGRAM, THERE ARE THREE MAIN GOALS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH PATHWAYS PROGRAM

398
01:51:28.733 --> 01:51:45.016
IS TO DIVERSIFY THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE AND PROVIDE EARLY EXPOSURE AND DIRECT HEALTH AND PROVIDE PATHWAYS AND TO HAVE EMPLOYMENT FOR THE COMMUNITIES INTERESTED IN SERVING THE CITY

399
01:51:45.016 --> 01:52:01.266

401
01:52:17.750 --> 01:52:33.666
CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIENCE PROGRAMS OVER THE YEARS.  WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH THE C.D.C. PHAP PROGRAM, AND UNIVEITY PROGRAMS, AND ENTERPRISE INITIATIVES SUCH AS URBAN SCHOLARS AND STEP-UP TO BRING IN YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS INTERESTED IN THE WORK OF THE

402
01:52:33.666 --> 01:52:50.183
DEPARTMENT.  IN DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING THE PUBLIC HEALTH CAREER PATHWAY PROGRAM, WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT AND RELIED ON EXISTING PROGRAMS SUCH AS STEP UP AND URBAN SCHOLARS. SO SOME OF THE PHPP INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAVE, OTHER

403
01:52:50.183 --> 01:53:05.366
THAN IN GENERAL WORKING WITH THE SUPERVISOR, AND WE HAVE THEM ATTEND SITE VISITS WITH HOW PUBLIC HEALTH IS ENVISIONED IN THE MISSION, VISION, AND GOALS OF THE MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY OF HEALTH PARTNERS AND ATTD INTRODUCTION MEETINGS. ESSENTIALLY, THEY ARE MEETINGS

01:53:05.366 --> 01:53:23.033
WITH THE DIRECTTORS OF THE DIVISIONS TO LEARN ABOUT HOW THESE EVENTS OPERATE WITHIN THE MINNEAPOLIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND HOW PUBLIC HEALTH OPERATES WITHIN IT.  AS WELL AS PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH ARTICLE DISCUSSIONS. SO THEY'RE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH ONE ANOTHER IN READINGS AND DISCUSSIONS IN RELATION TO TOPICS OF PUBLIC HEALTH THEY ARE

405
01:53:23.033 --> 01:53:39.083
INTERESTED IN.  CAREER READINESS AND SIMILAR PUBLIC HEALTH SUBJECT MATTER AND PUBLIC HEALTH CAREERS. AND FINALLY LUNCH AND LEARNS AT THE END OF THE INTERNSHIP TO PRESENT THEIR COMPLETED PROJECTS TO THEIR FELLOW INTERNS, SUPERVISORS AND OTHER STAFF WHO ARE INTEREST IN LEARNING ABOUT THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE

406
01:53:39.083 --> 01:53:56.333
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE INTERNSHIP. WE DO PUBLIC CAREER HEALTH PANELS, SO THAT IS A LITTLE OUTSIDE OF THE INTERNSHIP, BUT JUST TO HELP STUDENTS LEARN THROUGH PANELS AT MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS WELL AS MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES AND TO LEARN ABOUT THE CAREERS AND PATHWAYS TO

407
01:53:56.333 --> 01:54:12.950
LEARN ABOUT WHAT OUR STAFF DO. AND THEN ALSO ARE ABLE THAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF ABOUT THE WORK THEY DO. ALL RIGHT.  SO PHIG STRATEGIST AND COHORTS. SO PHPP CONSISTS OF SEVERAL MAJOR COMPONENTS AND STRATEGIES FOR VARIOUS LEVELS OF

408
01:54:12.950 --> 01:54:28.600
ENGAGEMENT.  THE HIGH-LEVEL FOCUS AREAS ARE INTEND WITHED -- INTENDED TO EXPAND IN TERMS OF PROMOTION TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND ATTEND ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS ACCEPTING APPLICANTS WITH EQUIVALENT EXPERIENCE AND INTEREST IN

410
01:54:44.183 --> 01:55:01.166
APPLICANTS THAT ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INTERNSHIPMENT AS WELL AS PLACING PHPP INTERNSHIPS IN SOME OF THE PARTNER SITES TO BUILD THE PUBLIC HEALTH CAPACITY SO ACROSS THE WHOLE CITY IN GENERAL. AND WORKING TO CREATE POINT SYSTEMS WITH THE H.R. HIRING PROCESS SO THAT INDIVIDUALS THAT

411
01:55:01.166 --> 01:55:17.383
HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM HAVE A HIGHER POINT BREAKING SYSTEM WHEN THEY APPLY TO OTHER POSITIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ENTERPRISE.  AND THEN IN TERMS OF HOW THE COHORTS ARE ORGANIZED, WE HAVE SUMMER EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FROM JUNE TO AUGUST THAT ARE FOCUSED

412
01:55:17.383 --> 01:55:33.933
SPECIFICALLY FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. AND THOSE ARE FULL TIME.  AND THEN THE OTHER COHORT IN TERMS OF HOW WE ORGANIZE IT, THEY'RE PART-TIME YEARLONG OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE SCHOOL MONTHS FROM SEPTEMBER TO MAY, SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE, AND NONSTUDENTS WHO

413
01:55:33.933 --> 01:55:50.516
ARE CURRENTLY PURSUING PUBLIC HEALTH OR INTERESTED IN PURSUING PUBLIC HEALTH OR RELATED FIELDS WITHOUT PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OR EDUCATION. SO FOLLOWI DATA FROM THE FIRST COHORT IN SPRING OF 2025 AND ALL

414
01:55:50.516 --> 01:56:06.400
THE DATA FROM THE FIRST COHORT. AND WE HAD INTERNS ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE SURVEY.  ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS WE ASKED THEY HAD AGREED OR STRONGLY AGREED 100% THEY HAD NOT KNOWN ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH AND DID PRIOR TO BEGINNING OF THE INTERNSHIP.  AND OVER 83% HAD NO

415
01:56:06.400 --> 01:56:23.050
PREVIOUS EDUCATION OR WORK EXPERIENCE PRIOR TO PARTICIPATING IN THE INTERNSHIP. AND HALF WOULD SAY THEY CONSIDER A PUBLIC HEALTH CAREER AFTER COMPLETING THE INTERNSHIP.  AND WE CAN ALSO SAY IF YOU LOOK AT THE LITTLE CHART AT THE VERY BOTTOM THAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH PATHWAYS PROGRAM HAS BEEN ABLE

416
01:56:23.050 --> 01:56:41.000
TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES IN THE PAST 10 YEARS.  IT IS THE SECOND HIGHEST BAR IN TERMS OF THOSE TEMPORARY STAFF WE HAVE HAD PER YEAR.  WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INCREASE THAT.  IN 2025 IN THE PA 10 YEARS.

417
01:56:41.000 --> 01:56:57.683
AND THEN AT THE END OF EACH COHORT OF INTERNS, WE ALSO DO FOCUS GROUPS FOR THE INTERNS A WELL AS THE SUPERVISORS IN ORDER TO ENGAGE THEIR FEEDBACK ON THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM. AND WE HAD ASKED ABOUT THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS.  INTERNS RESPONDED HOW MANY MORE CAREER OPTIONS THERE ARE THAN WHAT THEY

418
01:56:57.683 --> 01:57:13.200
THOUGHT.  HOW MANY SITE VISITS WE TOOK AND LEARNING EVERYONE'S SPECIFIC SKILLS AND HOW TO PLAY THEIR ROLE IN COMMUNITY. I ENJOY DOING HAND-ON WORK AND COMMUNITY WORK.  KNOWLEDGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND HOW IT IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY.  PREVIOUS STATEMENTS HERE ARE ALL EXAMPLES

DAY IS THE ASK FROM THIS BODY FOR AN EXPLANATION OF M.D.s INVOLVEMENT WITH THE HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE.  AND SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO ISAKE SOME TIME AND EXPLAIN TO YOU EXACTLY WHAT THAT TASK FORCE LOOKS LIKE.  THE HISTORY OF THAT TASK FORCE AND ALSO THE FUNCTION OF THAT TASK FORCE.

432
02:00:54.500 --> 02:01:11.766
SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE NOT FAMILIARTHE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS A BLANKET ORGANIZATION MUCH AS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS A BLANKET ORGANIZATION OF SUBCOMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THAT UMBRELLA.  SO IN THIS CASE WE

433
02:01:11.766 --> 02:01:28.566
HAVE CBP, ICE, SECRET SERVICE, TSA, AND THE COAST GUARD, AND ALSO FEMA. MUCH AS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS AN UMBRELLA AGENCY, WE HAVE F.B.I., ATF, DEA, AND U.S. MARSHALS AND BUREAU OF PRISONS AND THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S

434
02:01:28.566 --> 02:01:46.800
OFFICE. SO CURRENTLY PARTNERSHIPS THAT M.P.D. SHARES WITH OTHER FEDERAL PARTNERS ARE WITH A.T.F. THE PURPOSE OF A.T.F. IS TO ADDRESS VIOLENT FIREARM OFFENSES AND HELPS US WITH THE PRIMARY

435
02:01:46.800 --> 02:02:03.400
INTELLIGENCE AND THE VIOLENT CRIME SYSTEM.  AND MARSHAL SERVICE, ASSISTS US IN APPREHENDING VIOLENT FITIVES AND ALSO WITH MORE SERVICE. AND BASICALLY THIS ALLOWS US AS A RCE MULTIPLIER AND ALLOWS US

436
02:02:03.400 --> 02:02:21.133
TO DO MORE WITH LESS. AND TO GIVE YOU BACK HISTORY, IN 1982, THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION BROUGHT FORTH AND THE ORGANIZED CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMEN TASK FORCE.  THEIR ROLE WAS TO

437
02:02:21.133 --> 02:02:36.683
ADDRESS TRANSNATIONAL CHARACTER ORGANIZATIONS AND ALSO ORGANIZED CRIME. AND THE HEAD COMPONENT OF THAT WAS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.  IT CONSISTED OF THE D.O.J. ENCIES, F.B.I., A.T.F., D.E.A., MARSHALS. ALSO STATE AND LOCAL PARTNERS

438
02:02:36.683 --> 02:02:54.366
AND THE SOLE PURPOSE WAS TO ADDRESS, LIKE I SAID, THE TRANS NATIONAL NARCOTICS GROUPS. I'LL DO BOTH. SO IN 2025, THE ADMINISTRATION

439
02:02:54.366 --> 02:03:12.750
REFOCUSED AND RENAMED AND PUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF OCDETF INTO THE HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE THAT WAS MOVED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY WITH TWO AGENCIES THAT WERE CO-HEADS OF THAT. ONE WAS H.S.I., HOMELAND

440
02:03:12.750 --> 02:03:29.266
SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS.  AND THE OTHER CO-CHAIRED BY THE F.B.I. THEY SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE OVERSIGHT ON THAT. AND THE MISSION OF THE HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE IS NOT ANY DIFFERENT THAN IT WAS FOR OCDETF.  THEY CHANGED THE NAME AS A TRANSITION TO THE HOMELAND

441
02:03:29.266 --> 02:03:45.933
SECURITY TASK FORCE. AND TO BE PARTICIPANT IN HOMELAND SECURITY TA FORCE DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE CITY OR ANY OFFICER OTHE CITY HAS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH D.H.S. IT MERELY STATES THAT A

442
02:03:45.933 --> 02:04:03.433
COMPONENT IN THIS CASE,HE F.B.I., WE HAVE AN OFFICER THAT WORKS WITH THE F.B.I. AND THE TASKORCE OFFICER.  THEY ARE WORKING THE CASE.  THAT CASE FALLS UNDER THE HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE. SO WHEN THE REIMBURSEMENT IS REQUESTED, IT'S FOR AN F.B.I. TASK FORCE OFFICER, BUT IT IS

443
02:04:03.433 --> 02:04:21.966
ASKED FOR REIMBURSEMENTROM THE HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE. >> AWESOME.  THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM AND WE'LL DISCUSS THE PRESENTATION TODAY

444
02:04:21.966 --> 02:04:38.866
TO JULY 8 JUST SO WE CAN CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT THIS. THERE'S A LOT OF MISSING PARTS OF THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS ASKED ON THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECT PUBLIC PART OF IT WAS A FULL TEXT OF ANY AGREEMENTS OR M.O.U. BETWEEN M.P.D. AND FEDERAL AGENT

445
02:04:38.866 --> 02:04:54.500
AGENCY RELATED TO THE HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE.  THE KNOWAL M.P.D. OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO THE HOMELAND SECURITY DUTIES, DURATION OF THE ASSIGNMENT AND WHETHER THE SCHEDULED END DATE EXISTS FOR THE COLLABORATION AND MONITORING TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE

446
02:04:54.500 --> 02:05:11.700
WITH THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE R THE OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO THE DUTIES.  AND THERE IS A LOT MORE, SO WHAT I AM GOING TO ASK IS THAT WE -- ONE, NEXT PSYCHLE IS GOING TO BE BUSY WITH A LOT OF PUBLIC HEARINGS.  I AM GOING TO BE HONEST, IT WILL BE HAR TO HAVE THIS COME BACK BEFORE THE

447
02:05:11.700 --> 02:05:27.833
COUNCIL WITH THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE IT'S GOING TBE BUSY. SO I AM ASKING FOR SUPPORT TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM OR DELAY THE ITEM UNTIL THE -- AND THE FOLLOWING -- TWO CYCLES FROM NOW.  THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND EQUITY COMMITTEE WHICH IS JULY  I BELIEVE.  I WILL ASK

448
02:05:27.833 --> 02:05:45.233
FOR SUPPORT ON THAT, BUT I WOULD URGE T POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PLEASE READ THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE AND COME BACK WITH ANSWERS TO THE REQUEST BECAU THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, PARTICULARLY HOW THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL ENFORCE THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE WHEN WE ARE

449
02:05:45.233 --> 02:06:03.333
ENTERING INTO AGREEMENTS WITH THIS HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE. WHAT THE ROLE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS AND WHEN OUR OFFICERS ARE DEPUTIZED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ME.  OFF AND A T MORE STUFF.  SO I WILL START THERE.  I WILL PASS IT TO MY

450
02:06:03.333 --> 02:06:20.650
COLLEAGUES.  I ASSUME PEOPLE VE QUESTIONS. >> AN I'LL SECOND THE MOTION. >> AND COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY SENDED THAT MOTION.  I WILL PASS IT TO U YO, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PRESENTATION TODAY AND IT WAS RAISED BY RESIDENTS DURING THE PUBLIC

451
02:06:20.650 --> 02:06:36.633
HEARING ON THE FIRST ORDINANCE AROUND WE'RE LITERALLY A YEAR FROM JUNE 3 OF LAST YE. WHERE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LED THE FIRST TEST OF MINNEAPOLIS WITH A RAID ON EAST LAKE STREET.  AND RESIDENTS FOR

452
02:06:36.633 --> 02:06:52.983
SURE PAST THE TEST.  THEY SHOWED UP TO DEFEND EACH OTHER.  BUT CITY LEADERS RE, M.P.D., MAYOR FREY, THEY FAILED.  ABSOLUTELY FAILED.  THOSE WHO DID SHOW WAS NOT DOING S IN AN INTENTIONAL

453
02:06:52.983 --> 02:07:08.400
WAY. THEY ALSO NAMED THE OPERATION AS JUST A SIMPLE DRUG BUST IN THOSE OUT THERE WERE INTERFERING IN BASICALLY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY'S EFFORTS TO DOHEIR JOB. AND THOSE FOLKS SHOULD HAVE JUST STAYED HOME.  WE DO KNOW ONE OF

454
02:07:08.400 --> 02:07:23.916
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE TARGETED IN THAT OPERATION WAS SUBJECTED TO IMMIGRATION SENTENCING AS A RESULT OF THAT RAID. AND IT IS THOSE TYP OF PARTNERSHIPS THAT I THINK WARRANT THIS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE.

455
02:07:23.916 --> 02:07:38.833
AND ESPECIALLY MOST RECENTLY AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, PRESIDENT PAYNE.  I DO KNOW THE SAME PERIOD OR SEVERAL WEEKS -- NO, LIKE, BACK IN MARCH, WE HEARD -- WE WANT I.C.E. OUT OF

456
02:07:38.833 --> 02:07:57.250
HERE.  BUT THEN 14 DAYS LATER, WE LEARNED THAT THE CITY ENTERED INTO ANOTHER CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT WITH THE HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE OR HOMELAND SECURITY. AND IT WAS UNCLEAR AS TO WHAT. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE RESIDENTS OUT HERE PUTTING THEIR BODIES ON THE LINE RESISTING THE

457
02:07:57.250 --> 02:08:13.166
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND ARE BEING ATTACKED FOR IT. AND IT WAS WILD TO SEE AND WE'RE ENTERING INTO AN OBSCURE AGREEMENT WITH THAT SAME ADMINISTRATION AND FOR WHAT? AND I THINK THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ASKS THE FOR WHAT PIECE.  WHAT IS THIS PARTNERSHIP

458
02:08:13.166 --> 02:08:29.083
BEING USED FOR AS IT PERTAINS TO MEETING THE NEEDS AND THE WELL-BEING OF OUR RESIDENTS? AND IT DID NOT ANSWER THE BULK OF THAT LEGISLATIVE SO I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO TAKE THE TIME AND THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS TO ALLOW THE

459
02:08:29.083 --> 02:08:44.700
ADMINISTRATION TO GO BACK AND REVIEW AND PROVIDE SOME MORE ROBUST RESPONSES SO THAT THE PUBLIC AND THE COUNCIL CAN HAVE MORE CLARITY ANDRANSPARENCY OF THE UTILITY OF THESE AGREEMENTS. ESPECIALLY IN THIS CLIMATE OF

460
02:08:44.700 --> 02:09:01.250
THE HOSTILE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT IS ATTACKING OUR NEIGHBORS. CHAIR CHAVEZ RAISED THE FACT WE HAD AN IMMIGRANT NEIGHBOR WHO WAS DETAINED THIS MORNING.  IT IS EVEN MORE TIMELY THAT WE ARE BEING VERY -- VERY -- THAT WE'RE SCRUTINIZING THESE TYPE OF AGREEMENTS WHEN WE KNOW THAT OUR

461
02:09:01.250 --> 02:09:18.133
IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS ARE STILL NOT SAFE. AND WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR AGREEMENTS ARE NOT ESSENTIALLY, HOPING -- HOPING INTENSIFY THAT LACK OF SETY FOR THOSE RESIDENTS. SO I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE MOTION.

462
02:09:18.133 --> 02:09:32.950
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ.  I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS MOTION AND ACTUALLY, I'M -- I WANT TO THANK YOU, D.C. RIDDLE, FOR PUTTING SOME OF THIS ADDITIONAL

463
02:09:32.950 --> 02:09:48.933
CONTEXT AND FROM THE D.O.J. AND IT STARTS UNPACKING WHAT THE QUESTION IS WITH THEEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE AND THE QUESTION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ANSWER, WHICH IS AS COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY SAID, WE ARE EXACTLY TO THE DAY ONE YEAR AWAY FROM AN OPERATION THAT

464
02:09:48.933 --> 02:10:06.016
WAS SET TO BE STRICTLY CRIMINAL IN NATURE AND NONIMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OPERATION.  HOWEVER T ONLY CHARGES THAT WE KNOW OF TO DATE IS AN IMMIGRATION CHARGE. AND IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY HELPFUL TO SEE THE HISRY OF WHAT USED TO BE THE ORGANIZED CRIME DRUG

465
02:10:06.016 --> 02:10:21.333
ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCE AND THE PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE COMBINED. AND I THINK THAT -- TAKING THESE CLEAR MISSION-BASED TASK FORCES AROUND ORGANIZED CRIME AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND TN

466
02:10:21.333 --> 02:10:36.983
CONFLATTING IT WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND THE VERY FIRST UNDERSTOOD LINED SECON IS REPELLING THE INVASION OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. THIS IS OURCONCERN.  WE'VE BY LAW SAID M.P.D. DOES NOT DO IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, AND YET WE'RE ENGAGING IN TASK FORCES

467
02:10:36.983 --> 02:10:54.200
THAT HAVE AN EXPLICIT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT MISSION SAY THAT WE ARE UPHOLDING THAT ORDINANCE AND IT IS JUST THIS DOES NOT CLARIFY THAT.  THIS ALMOST MES IT WORSE. AND I AM NOT DOING TO SPEAK FOR

468
02:10:54.200 --> 02:11:08.916
E OTHER AUTHORS OF THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SIT SIT DOWN AND TA THROUGH WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HERE.  WE LEARNED OF THE TASK FORCE THROUGH THE MEDIA, THROUGH ONE CONTRACT WITH THE IMMEDIATE, BUT WE WANT TO KNOW WT OTHER TASK FORCE

469
02:11:08.916 --> 02:11:26.500
CONTRACTS EXIST WITH WHAT AGENCIES.  IT SOUNDS LIKE PERHAPS THIS ISN'T JUST AN F.B. THING THAT ONCE YOU -- IT SEEMS THAT THE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE ALL OF THESE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES UNDER ONE CORE MISSION WHICH DOES SEEM TO HAVE QUITE A LOT OF OVERLAP WITH

470
02:11:26.500 --> 02:11:42.350
WHAT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO PARTICIPATE, WHICH IS OUR SEPARATION ORDINANCE. SO I WILL INVITE A DEEPER CONVERSATION INTO IT SO THAT COME JULY, HOPEFULLY WE CAN SHARE WITH OUR COMMUNITY HOW WE'RE UPHOLDING OUR SEPARATION ORDINANCE, AND WHAT CONTROLS WE

471
02:11:42.350 --> 02:11:58.833
HAVE IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT ENGAGING IN SOMETHING THAT IS A VIOLATION OF OUR LOCAL LAW.  THAT IS ALL I WANTED TO ADD. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. THK YOU, D.C. RIDDLE FOR TRYING TO PRESENT WHAT YOU COULD

472
02:11:58.833 --> 02:12:15.783
OU OF THIS. I KNOW SEVERAL POINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT A TIME BEFORE YOU GOT HERE, SO I'M SURE YOU CAN HEAR THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT THINGS THAT HAPPEN BEFORE YOU GOT HERE AND I APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL PRIDENT SAYING THAT HE'S GOING TO MEET WITH YOU AND TALK THROUGH SOME OF THE QUESTIONS

473
02:12:15.783 --> 02:12:32.500
THAT HE HAS.  I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.  I CERTAINLY SUPPORT MY COLLEAGUE GETTING THE INFORMATION THEY WANT.  SO I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS TODAY.  I JUST HOPE THAT THE DEPARTMENT COMES TOGETHER -- I KNOW THIS IS -- THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF, YOU KNOW, CHANGE IS HAPPENING.

474
02:12:32.500 --> 02:12:49.800
AND I JUST HOPE THE RHT PEOPLE ARE LISTENING AND CAN COME TOGETHER AND GET THE ANSWERS FOR -- THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS. BUT I ALSO JUST WANTED TO SAY, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, D.C. RIDDLE.  YOU REALLY HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB AT PRESENTING

475
02:12:49.800 --> 02:13:07.066
WHAT YOU HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE ON. AND I ALSO JUST HOPE THAT WE FOCUS ON THE ANSWERS TO THIS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE AND NOT ABOUT TH MAYOR OR OTHER PEOPLE, AND THIS DOESN'T BECAME A BLAME THING.  IT IS AUT US GETTING THE INFORMATION THAT COUNCI HAS

476
02:13:07.066 --> 02:13:22.333
ASKED FOR AND IT DOESN'T COME ABOUT PEOPLE AND ATTACKS AND PUTTING STAFF IN THE MIDDLE OF JUST GETTING INFORMATION.  THERE ARE QUESTIONS ASKING THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE, AND THERE ARE ANSWERS OWED TO FOLKS. AND SO I REALLY HOPE IT BECOMES THAT AND NOT THIS BACK AND FORTH

477
02:13:22.333 --> 02:13:38.266
ABOUT WHO DID WHAT A YEAR AGO, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE D.C. RIDDLE WASN'T HERE AND SEEMS TO BE THE PERSON TASKED WITH PRESENTING US THIS INFORMATION. >> ASOME.  SO ON THE MOTION

478
02:13:38.266 --> 02:13:54.833
AND FOR CLERKS, CAN YOU HELP ME? IS POSTPONE OR DELAY?  SAME THING? >> POSTPONE THIS ITEM TO JULY 8. PUIC HEALTH SAFETY AND EQUITY COMMITTEE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SECONDED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY.  AND ANY

479
02:13:54.833 --> 02:14:12.866
ABSTENTIONS?  AWESOME, THANK YOU.  THANKS FOR BEING HERE. ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES THAT WAS THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA. AND SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO -- NO, WE'RE GOOD.  SEEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS BEFORE US, I WILL DECLARE THIS MEETING

480
02:14:12.866 --> 02:14:30.700
ADJOURNED.
