ON THIS ITEM. >> CHAIR WONSLEY. >> WELCOME, CHIEF. >> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE ADDRESSED THE COUNCIL. IF I DO IT INCORRECTLY, GIVE ME SOME GRACE. [ LAUGHTER ] SO CHAIR WONSLEY AND CHAIR
MEMBERS, I'M COMING JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE ADVOCACY. THESE ARE TO MAKE ME LOOK S.M.A.R.T.AR. IT'S NOT MY AGE. I WAS THE SEX CRIMES LIEUTENANT WHEN WE
ORIGINALLY HAD THE ADVOCACY IN THE UNIT. THEY ASSIST US IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE INVALUABLE. THEY HAVE A NUMBER ON OUR TLC SEX VIOLENCE RESOURCE CARDS WE PROVIDE TO EACH AND EVERY SURVIVOR ON SCENES. SO THAT THEY CAN CALL
FOR INFORMATION AND RESOURCES. THEY MAKE CONFIDENTIAL CALLS TO VICTIMS SO THEY CANNOT BE SUBPOENAED TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY. THEY'LL MAKE CALLS WHEN A CASE CANNOT BE INVESTIGATED OR CHARGED TO ASSIST WITH RESOURCES. THEY CAN CONNECT
WITH THERAPY, HOUSING, PHONES, CLOTHING, OTHER RESOURCES THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED. THE ADVOCATE CAN ET WITH THE SURVIVOR AT THE HOSPITAL FOR SUPPORT AND ASSISTING WITH THE EXAM THAT CAN BE INCREDIBLY INVASIVE. THE ADVOCATE PROVIDES ONGOING SUPPORT DURING AN INVESTIGATION THAT CAN INCLUDE FIELD WORK AND
INTERVIEW SUPPORT WHENEVER AN INVESTIGATOR MAY NEED ASSISTANCE. AND THE ADVOCATE COORDINATES WITH THE HENNEPIN COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO ENSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION WHEN THE CASE IS CHARGED AND SUBMITS THE COUNTY ADVOCATE CAN GET INVOLVED WITH THE PROSECUTION AT
THE END. THEN THE ADVOCACY CHANGES OVER TO THE COUNTY. SO BASICALLY THEY HOLD THAT SURVIVOR'S HAND UNTIL THE VERY END. I DID BRING A FEW NUMBERS. JUST SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT THEY DO. LAST AR IN 2024, THE SEX CRIMES
UNIT HANDLED 910 CASES. AND IN THE SEX CRIMES UNIT, IT IS REQUIRED THAT WE CALL EACH AND EVERY VICTIM IN EVERY SINGLE CASE. AND THE ADVOCATE TELLS
WITH THE PHONE CALLS. IF WE FEEL IT NEEDS A GENTLER PHONE CA, WE'LL ASK THED A SCRO KATE TO BE PRESENT OR MAKE THE PHONE CALL. I DON'T KNOWHAT WE'D DO WITHOUT THEM. SO FAR, AS OF THE 13th OF MARCH IN 2025, WE'VE
HAD 128 SEX CRIMES CASES. JUST WANTED TO PLUG THE AMAZING WORK THEY DO. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO WITHOUT THEM.
>> THANK YOU. I ASKED FOR A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE ITEM. I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE ITEMS WE GET TO HIGHLIGHT WHERE AT THE CITY IS DOING GOOD WORK IN SUPPORTING CRITICAL POPULATION, SUCH AS THOSE WHO, UNFORTUNATELY, HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE EERIENCE OF SEXUAL
ASSAULT OR ANY LEVEL OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE. AND KNOWING THAT THERE E RESOURCES HERE AVAILABLE AS THEY MOVE THROUGH A FORMAL JUSTICE PROCESS THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION. I WILL LOOK TO SEE
IF THERE IS ANYONE IN QUEUE. ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T SEE ANY. WITH THAT, I'LL MOTION FORAPPRE CAN JUST DO A VOICE VOTE. LL THOSE IF IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THE AYES HAVE IT AND THE MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> NEXT ITEM 21 ON THE DISCUSSION PART OF OUR AGENDA, WE WILL HAVE AN UPDATE FROM THE RACIAL, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING DEPARTMENT. SO I'LL
ASK DIRECTOR CORBETT TO COME UP AND PRESENT FOR US.
>> THANK YOU. PRINCE CORBETT. AND TODAY JUST GOING IT PROVIDE AS PART OF OUR QUARTERLY UPDATE SOME DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES WE'RE WORKG TO CASCADE DOWN THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION. AS IT CONNECTSES TO MET MORPHIAS.
I'LL START THESE OFF AS A LEVEL SETTING AND GROUND SETTING AROUND EXPECTATIONOF THE RACIAL EQUITY INCLUSION DEPARTMENT. WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2022. AND THEN OUR WORK AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE GUIDED BY CHAPTER 21 OF THE MINNEAPOLIS CITY ORDINANCE. THE ORDINANCE ESTABLISHES THE DUTIES
OF THE REIB DEPARTMENT, THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF OTHER DIDN'TS IN THE CITY, AND PROVIDES DEFINITION FOR EQUITY, RACIAL EQUITY, AND EQUITY AS HAVING OUTCOMES FOR ALL PEOPLE BASED ON FAIR AND JUST OPPORTUNITIES, WHEREAS RACIAL EQUITY, SPECIFICALLY, IS A DEVELOPMENT OF POLICIES,
PRACTICES, STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS TO REDUC RACIAL DISPARITIES TRENDS, AND ENSURE OUTCOMES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR NO LONGER PREDICTABLBY RACE. FOCUSING ON THE DUTIES OF THE DEPARTMENT AS OUTLINED IN THE ORDINANCE PROVIDES GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT IS IN SCOPE OF THE DEPARTMENT, AND
THERE ARE TWO OVERARCHING DUTIES. ONE IS DEVELOPING AND ADAPTING A RACIAL EQUITY FRAMEWORK, AND COORDINATING AND SUPPORTING EFFOR BY ALL DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOS. BOTH THESE OVERARNLING DUTIES ARE ABOUT
GUIDING AND SUPPORTINGDEPARTMENE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. COORDINATING AND SUPPORTING EFFORTS BY ALL DEPARTMENTS FOCUSES ON ENSURING THE RACIAL EQUITY IS AN EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY DOES. IT INVOLVES ORGANIZING AND FACILITATING COLLABORATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT CITY DEPARTMENTS TO WORK ON
RACIAL EQUITY. IT MEANS PROVIDING RESOURCES, TOOLS, AND GUIDANCES TO DEPARTMENTS TO HELP THEM ENSURE RACIAL EQUITY. IT MEANS CONSIDERING RACIAL EQUITY WHEN DEVELOPING BUDGETS, DESIGNING PUBLIC SPACES, AND PROVIDING PUBLIC SVICES ALONG WITH MORE. AND STATED HERE ON
THE SLIDE DECK IS JUST FOUR -- A FEW OF THE DOZEN STRATEGIES REIB CAN EMPLOY TO ADVANCE RACIAL EQUITY THROUGHOUT THE CIT OF MINNEAPOLIS. TODAY'S UPDATE WILL FOCUS ON C. ENSURING THE
CITY OFFERS A BROAD BASED TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING CURRICULUM. SESSIONS PLAY A VITAROLE IN BUILDING THE ENTERPRISE'S CAPACITY TO ADVANCE RACIAL EQUITY BY EQUIPPING STAFF AND LEADERSHIP WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, T TOOLS, AND SKILLS EDED TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS
RACIAL DISPARITIES. BIASES AND SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES. RACIAL EQUITY, LEARNING, AND DEVELOP DEVELOPMENT OFFERS TOOLS AND FRAMEWORK STAFF CAN APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE WORK. IT CAN HELP STAFF IDENTIFY WHERE INEQUITIES EXIST AND HOW TO CREATE MORE INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE PRACTICES. RACIAL
EQUITY LEARNING AND CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE AND RACISM, WHICH IS OFTEN AN OBSTACLE TO ADVANCING RACIAL EQUITY. AND SO FOR TODAY, I WOULD BE PROVIDING AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE RACIAL EQUITY LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS WE'RE PREPARING FOR
CITY EMPLOYEES. BASED ON THE LEARNI CONCEPTS SHARED WITH SENIOR LEADERSHIP AS A PART OF THE METAMORPHOSIS PROGRAM. SO THE PROGRAM IS A SEVEN MONTH PROGRAM OFFERED IN 2022, AS WELL AS IN 2023 AND 2024 TO ALL OF THE DIRECTORS AND
THEIR DIRECT REPORTS. WHAT THE PROGRAM -- THE PROGRAM WAS FACILITATED BY GOOD WORKS CONSULTING AS SOME OF THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM IS UNDERSTANDING HOW RACISM OPERATES SYSTEMICALLY, INCREASING NONJUDGMENTAL AWARENESS OF WHITENESS. AS
DEFAULT IT SHOWS UP IN PREVENTS SYSTEMS AND BROADER HUMANITY FROM ACHIEVING EQUITY. IDENTIFYING THE BEHAVIORINGS OF AN A ANTIRACIST LEADER AND USING LENSES TO IMPROVE THE UNDERSTANDING OF EMPLOYEES.
SYSTEMS OF DISCRIMINATION. THROUGH THE JOURNEY, SENIOR LEADERS EXAMINE THEIR MIND SETS ALLOW REFLECT ON HOW WE PERPETRATE SYSTEMS THAT HINDER EQUITY WHILE LEARNING NEW LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS THAT CHALLENGED US TO CONSIDER HOW WE CHANGE SYSTEMS BY COCREATION OF
INCLUSIVE PRACTICES WITHIN THE CITY. TRANSFORMING BEHAVIORS TO ACHIEVING RACIAL EQUITY CAN HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS. ORGANIZATIONS AND SOCIETY AT LARGE. BEHAVIORAL TRANSFORMATION REFERS TO INTENTIONAL, SUSTAINED CHANGE IN
ATTITUDES, ACTIONS, AND PRACTICES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO DISMTLING RACISM, AND PROMOTING FAIRNESS. THIS TRANSFORMATION ISN'T JUST ABOUT ADDRESSING INSTRUMENT STORY ACTIONS, BUT ALSO RESHAPING THE SYSTEMIC STRUCTURES AND PERSONAL MIND SETS THAT PERPETRATE RACIAL INEQUITIES. THE BUTTERFLY
VISUAL ILLUSTRATES FOUR FUNDAMENTAL TYPES OF ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS. REAL CHGE OCCURS WHEN LEADERS TRANSFORM THEIR BEHAVIORS OF LEADING IN DECISION MAKING AND ADAPTING BEHAVIORALS ENABLES US TO DISPLAY ANY LINGERING GUILT,
FEAR, AND DEFENSIVENESS GUIDING US TO ALIGN OUR INTENTIONS WITH EXPLICIT ACTIONS. AND THE PREASSESSMENT, LEADERS IDENTIFY TWO BEHAVIORS LESS FREQUENTLY EMACED WITHIN THE CITY. WHICH IS CONFRONTING ARE THOUGHTFULLY
AND IMMEDIATELY AND SEIZING EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR HARM. CONFRONTING THOUGHTFULLY D IMMEDIATELY IS BEING ABLE TO OPENLY TALK ABOUT RACE, RACISM, AND PORTUNITIES FOR SYSTEMS THAT WILL CHANGE. TO RECTIFY RASM AND, AS A RESULT,
WILLINGLY ENIMPACT DIRECT -- AND AS A RESULT WILLFULLY ENGAGING IN DIRECT CONFRONTATION WITH AN INTENT TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE. SEIZING EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR HARM IS LEARNING TO PLACE RECONCILIATION, REPARATION, AND
RACIAL HEALING AT THE CENTER OF OUR THOUGHT PROCESSES. THIS INCLUDES LEADING AND EQUIPPING LEADERS TOEAD THESE EFFORTS TO RECONCILE HARM THAT HAS BEEN COMMITTED THE SYSTEM BY DEDICATING TIME, SPACE, AND RESOURCES TO TRUTHFULLY ACCOUNTING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL'S
EXPERIENCES. YSTEMS CHANGE REFERS TO THE PROCESS OF A LEARNING OF ALTERING THE STRUCTURES, POLICIES, PRACTICES, AND NORMS THAT SHAPE HOW A SYSTEM FUNCTIONS. A THE CONTEXT OF RACIAL EQUITY, SYSTEMS CHANGE WORKS TO ADDRESS AND DISMANTLE THE UNDERLYING
STRUCTURES THAT PERPETRATE RACIAL DISPARITIES AND RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON SOLELY INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS OR ISOLATED INCIDENTS OF RACISM. SYSTEMS CHANGE SK TO REFORM THE BROADER SYSTEMS THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT MARGINALED RACIAL GROUPS. AND
THIS IMAGE BEFORE YOU IS A REPRESENTATION OF FOUR DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. AT THE SELF, SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONAL AND SOCIETAL ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. AND THEY'RE RECOGNIZING THAT RACISM CAN EXIST WITHIN EACH SYSTEMS. AND
CONNECTING AN ASSESSMENT OF THE SYSTEMS WILL IDENTIFY IF INUITIES EXIST. THIS TYPE OF CRITICAL ASSESSMENT CAN HELP ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF DISPARITIES. TRANSFORM POLICIES AND PRACTICES, AS WELL AS SHIFT POWER DYNAMICS. THE RESULT IS A
MORE EQUITABLE SOCIETY WHERE ALL INDIVIDUALS, REGARDLESS OF RACE, CAN THRIVE AND HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES. SO LAYING THAT AS A FOUNDATION FOR WHAT IT IS THAT WE ACTUALLY WILL BE DOING. SO IN OER TO HELP BUILD THE KNOWLEDGE,
SKILLS, AND ABILITIES OF ATTENDEES AND TRANSFORMING BEHAVIORS, AND SYSTEMS CHANGE. GOOD WORKS CONSULTING INTRODUCED A REPAIR HARM MODEL THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION MODEL, AS WELL AS A RACE EQUY IMPACT ASSESSMENT. WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT THE
LEARNING SHOULD NOT BE SHARED AT THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP LEVEL. BUT THERE IT IS A NEED TO SUPPORT THE SKILL BUILDING CAPACITY OF THE ENTIRE ENTERPRISE AND UNDERSTANDING THE REHARM MODEL, AS WELL AS DOING A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT. THE
LEARNING CONTENT FOR TRANSFORMING BEHAVIORS WILL INCLUDE AWARENESS, EDUCATION, SELF-REFLECTION, AND ACTUA STEPS TO ENHANCE EMPLOYEE SKILLS IN THE AREAS OF CONFRONTING THOUGHTFULLY AND IMMEDIATELY, AND SEIZING EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR HARM. THE SYSTEMS CHANGE
LEARNING ON THE RACIAL EQUITY IMPA ASSESSMENT WILL ENHANCE EMPLOYEES' ABILITY TO ANALYZE TA AND RESULTS, ADDRESSING EMERGING TENSIONS, AND APPLYINSE DEPARTMENTAL OUTCOMES AND OUTPUTS. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF
THE MODELS, AND SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE LEARNING CONTENTS, AS WELL AS THE HIGH, HIGH LEVEL TIMELINE OF IMPLEMENTATION. SO THE THOUGHTFUL C CONFRONTATION MODEL WAS CREATED TO BUILD SKILLS AROUND THE CONFRONTING THOUGHTFULLYND IMMEDIATELY.
IT INVOLVES CLEARLY STATING THE PROBLEM, CREATING THE SOLUTION, AND THINKING ABOUT BEING CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE IN OUR RESPONSES. CALLING IN VERSUS CALLING OUT AND CALLING IN PEOPLE IS CALLING PEOPLE INTO THE CONVERSATION OF WHEN A HARM
HAS BEEN DONE. LIKE CALLING PEOPLE IN AND INVITING PEOPLE IN TO HAVE A CONVERSATION. RATHER THAN CALLING OUT IS ALMOST LIKE BLAMING A LITTLE BIT MORE. A THEN CONFRONTING AND SETTLINGS DOWN AND BEING ABLE TO COME TOGETHER TO CREATE A SOLUTION TOWARDS THE ISSUE WHERE ALL
PARTIES HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS MEANINGFUL FOR THEM. THE REPAIR HARM MODEL ALSO KNOWN AS THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION PROCESS IS A SIMPLE PROCESS OF TRUTH SELLING, SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND, REMEDIATE, AND FOLLOW UP AND
FOLLOW THROUGH. THEROCESS IS NOT LINEAR, SO I ALWAYS STATE THAT. AND THERE COULD BE A SITUATION WHERE WE START OFF WITH TRUTH E TELLING. THEN WE GO TO SEEK TO UERSTAND. AND HAVE TO COME BACK BECAUSE IN SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND, THERE MIGHT BE SE TRUTHS OR NEW
TRUTHS WE FIND. ND THEN, FINALLY, WITH THE EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT PROCESS, THIS INVOLVED DETERMINING OUTCOMES AND THIS INVOLVED DETERMINING OUTCOMES THAT INTERESTED PARTIES AKA STAKELDERS. EXAMINING THE
NUMBERS AND NARRATIVES, MEASURING THE BURDENS ANDBENEFID HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE. IN DETERMINING OUTCOMES, WE ANALYZE WHO ARE THE KEY RACIALIZED GROUPS IMPACTED BY A POLICY, PRTICE, PROCESS, OR DECISION. AND EXAMINE WAYS TO BRING THOSE VOICES OTHE
IMPACTED GROUPS INTO THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS. WHEN WE EXAMINE THE DATA THAT HA BEEN COLLECTED TO DETERMINE IF THERE ARE RACIAL DECEMBER DISPARITIES WHILE LEARNING FROM HISTORIES AND NARRATIVES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DATA, WITH WE'RE EXAMININ THE NUMBERS AND NARRATIVES. MEASURING BENEFITS
AND BURDENSLLOWS US TO EXPLORE IF SOME COMMUNITIES WILL BE HARMED BY A DECISION AND EXPLORE OTHER ALTERNATIVESES TO CEASEPOG METHODS AND MAPPING OUT A CONTINUO PROCESS IMPROVEMENT APPROACH, HELPS US TO EVALUATE
AND BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE. NOW WITH EAC OF -- WITH EACH OF THESE MODELS, THERE WILL BE A LEARNING CONTENT. AND THIS IS WHAT THE LEARNING CONTENT INCLUDES. IT INCLUDES A READINESS ASSESSMENT. SO FOR THE THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION AND
REPAIR HARM MODEL. THE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OR LEADERS TOELF-ASSESS WHERE THEY'RE STARTING AT. THERE WILL BE ASYNCHRONOUS E-LEARNIN CONTENT. WE'RE TAKING THE MODELS OR THE STEPS FROM THOSE TWO MODELS, THE THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION AND REPAIRARM
MODEL AND DEVELOPING MULTIMEDIA E-LEARNING AVAILABLE FOR EMPLOYEES. WE'RE WORKING TO VITAMIN GUIDE. WE'RE LOOKING AT DEVELOPING AND ADDED GUIDE. WILL BE A QUICK
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR CITY EMPLOYEES TO LOOK AT THE MODELS. HOW THEY CAN UTILIZE THOSE WITHIN THEIR TEAMS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION WITH DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES THAT ARE GOING ON. AND THEN THE MEETING IN THE BOXES IS A TEMPLATE. A TEMPLATED AGENDA.
SO THIS WILL BE THE MEETING IN A BOX WHERE A LEADER CAN BE ABLE TO PULL OUT KIND OF THE VARIOUS DIFFERENT TOOLS IF THEY WANT TO LEAD A DISCUSSION WITHIN THEIR OWN TEAMS. AND THEN, FINLY, A LEARNING ASSESSMENT SURVEY, BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO GATHER FOLKS ATTENDEES FEEDBACK AND
WORK ON HOW WE IMPROVE SOME OF THE LEARNING CONTENT AVAILABLE AND THEN, FINALLY, WE HAVE A TRAINER COMPONENT, AND THIS WILL BE WE ARE -- THIS WEEK, WE ARE WORKING ON RECRUITING INDIVIDUALS AND LEADER ACE CROSS THE ORGANIZATION FOR A COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING TO BE
TRAINED THE TRAINERS FOR THE THREE MODELS. WITH THIS, WE'LL BE PROVIDING THREE TWO-HOUR SESSIONS. FOR INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES WHO WOULD LIKE TO, UMM, BE ABLE TO BE TRAINERS, LIKE, FOR THOSEMMEDIATE LES. ONCE THE TRAINING IS DEVELOPED, THEN WE NEED THE STAFFING
CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO SHARE OUT -- TO DO TRAININGS FOR OTHER INDIVIDUALS, AS WELL. THE REASON IT'S NOT FULLY FLESHED OUT. WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON
CUSTOMIZING THE CONTENT WITH GOOD WORKS. SO ALL OF THE CONTENT THAT WE HAVE WILL BE CUSTOMIZEDND WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THAT CUSTOMIZED. WE WILL BE LATER THIS WEEK DOING THE INTERNAL STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT. REACHING OUT TO DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS, FOL WHO COMPLETED THE TRAINING, ASKING THEM WHO ARE THE LEADERS AND
OTHER PEOPLE FROM THEIR DEPARTMENT WHO THEY WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE OR RECOMMENDO BE PART OF THE TRAINING. A TRAINER. AND LOOKING AT CASCADG DOWN, AND TRAINER SESSIONS. MORE THAN LIKELY IT'S
AHEAD OF TIME. THIS IS AN ANTICIPATED TIMELINE. AND LOOKING AT DEPARTMENT BY DEPARTMENT OR ENTERPRISE ROLL OUT BY THE END OF 2025. SO JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS QUICK OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE BODY OF WORK WE'RE WORKING 0 ENAND HOW TO TAKE SOME OF THE LEARNING THAT WAS LEARNED IN M METAMORPHOSIS AT A HIGH LEVEL
AND SHARE DOWN WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION STHAT LEADERS AND EMPLOYEES ARE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE. KNOWING THE SE MODELS AND FRAMEWORKS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CORBETT, FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I WILL SEE IF THERE IS -- I PUT MYSELF
IN QUEUE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER FOLKS. OKAY. FIRST, GNG BACK TO SLIDE NUMBER 12, ACTUALLY. UMM, MORE INTERESTED IN STEPS TWO --
WHAT, NO? THREE AND FOUR. IN TERMS OF HOW, UMM, HOW YOU DEVELOP METRICS OR SUCCESS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A M METAMORPHOSIS TRAINING AND WHAT THE OUTCOMES WERE. I KNOW YOU'RE GIVING KIND OF THE SECOND PHASE OF THAT POST METAMORPHOSIS
WITH THE INITIAL TRAININGS FOR STAFF. BUT I WANTED TO GET A SENSE OF HOW DID WE DETERMINE THAT TO BE SUCCESSFUL? >> THE METAMORPHOSIS PROGRAM? >> UH-HUH. >> IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER PRESENTATION COMING UP ABOUT ALL OF THE METAMORPHOSIS OUTCOMES. SO THIS SPECIFIC AS
REGARDS TO A RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT. AND HOW TO MEASURE THE BENEFITS AND BURDENS, LIKE, OF A POLICY, PRACTICE, BUDGET, OR DECISION. >> OKAY. AND THIS I MY FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT THE METAMORPHOSIS TRAINING FOR ALL THINGS. BUT I WAND TO SEE IF YOU HAD INDIVIDUAL, LIKE,
METRICS OF SUCCESS. WE'VE HAD AN ONGOING CONVERSATION IN THE COMMITTEE AROUND EVALUATION AND, UMM, PROGRAM, UMM, EVALUATIONS. I WANTED TO GET A SET OF, LIKE, WHAT ARE THE METRICS THAT YOU DETERMINE, UMM, TO BE SUCCESSFUL? BASED OFF OF THE SUPPORT OF THE TRAINING.
>> FOR CLARITY, ARE YOU METRICS FOR OUR DEPARTMENTS OR METRICS SPECIFIC FOR THE TRAINING. >> FOR THE -- I'M ASSUMING THE METAMORPHOSIS TRAINING WAS FOR STAFF, CORRECT? >>YEP. >> AND YOU ALL BROUGHT THOSE IN METAMORPSIS AS A VENDOR TO PROVIDE THE TRAINING TO STAFF,
RIGHT? >> YES. WHATE'RE WORKING ON IS A TRAINING SPECIFIC FOR THE REPAIR HARM MODEL. THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION MODEL. AND THEN THE RACE EQUITY IMPACT. >> AND THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR THAT. >> YEAH. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING IN TERMS OF METRICS OF SUCCESS OR OUTCOMES THAT YOU DETERMINED WILL BE -- OKAY.
>> YEAH. >> EFFECTIVE. >> WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING THOSE OUT. WE STARTED THE CONTRACT AND WORKING WITH GOODWORKS AROUND IT. SO PART ♪F THE METRICS IS NUMBER OF ATTENDEES OR CITY EMPLOYEES WHO ATTEND THE TRAINING. LOOKING A THE POST SURVEY AND GETTING INDIVIDUALS' FEEDBACK AROUND THE TRAINING AND WAS IT EFFECTIVE
AND IMPACTFUL? AND THEN WITH OUTCOMES, IT'S AROUND ORGANIZATION, CULTURAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE BAVIOR. SOMETIMES IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO MEASURE. LOOKING AT HOW WE'RE REUNI RECRUREOUT LOSING THE
TRAINING. IS IT HELPING WIT THE MY MINNEAPOLIS SURVEY. >> OKAY. IS THAT THE ONE THAT IS BEING BROUGHT DOWN BY THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT? >> YES. >> OKAY. JUST EVEN THINKING OF THAT. WHEN WE RECEIVED A PRESENTATION FROM HR. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE DYNAMICS OF
CULTURE AND BREAKING THAT DOWN BY, YOU KNOW, RACIALIZED EXPERIENCES AND SEEING IF THERE IS THINGS IN THAT, TOO, AGAIN, LIKE, IF THERE'S METRICS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO EVALUATE EVEN FROM THAT SURVEY. OF, LIKE, A SHIFT OR IS IT PARTICIPATION OF
TRAININGS OR -- YEAH. >> AND THERE'S PARTICIPATION OF TRAININGS AND THEN I'LL SAY, ALSO, WITH SOME OF THE, LIKE, TH THE MY MINNEAPOLIS SURVEY. BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE IS GOING TO HAPN IS GOING TO BE, LIKE, IT TAKES YEARS IN ORDER TO GET TO IT. AND SEE THE MOMENTUM
GROWING. BUT LOOKING AT, LIKE, WITH THE TRAINING AND OTHER THINGS ALONG WITH HR. IT'S ALMOST LIKE PIECE OF A PIE. WITH THE CULRE CHANGE. AND, LIKE, THE TRAINING THAT WE'RE DOING IS, LIKE, ONE SMALL PIECE OF THE STUFF THAT WRE DOING WITH HR OR THAT HR IS DOING. >> OKAY. >> DOES THAT ANSWER?
>> SOMEWHAT, YEAH. ARE YOU GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE OFFICE OF PERFORMANCE AND MANAGEMENT AND ALL THEM AROUND SOME OFHAT ONGOING EVALUATION? >> YEAH. >> I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE NEXT YEAR. OKAY. NEXT QUESTION RELATED TO THE
TRUTH AND REPAIR HARM MODEL. I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A VOCAL POINT IN TMS OF HOW YOU'RE GUIDING THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION WORK YOU'VE BEEN DOING IN THE DEPARTMENT. AND I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE -- WITH EVEN THE PRESENTATION HAVE SHIFTED TO A MORE INTERNAL FOCUS IN PROVIDING
SERVICES. SI GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE EXTERNAL WORK AROUND TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION? IF, BASICALLY, YOU ARE SHIFTING INTO AN INTERNAL PHASE FOR THE FORESEBLE FUTURE. >> YEAH. I WOULD SAY FOR, CHAIR
WONSLEY, FOR THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION WORK, WELL, STARTING OFF -- IT'S -- FOR ME, IT'S NOT SHIFTING. IT'S GETTING US INTO ALIGNMENT WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING WITH OUR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, WHICH IS REALLY INTERNAL FACING. THIS IS SPECIC FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION ON THE NEXT
QUARTERLY UPDATE. WE WANT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE AROUND THE, UMM, WORK WE ARE DOING WITH STORY CORE AROUND TRUTH, HEALING, AND RECONCILIATION TO SHARE EXTERNAL COMMUNITY FACING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. >> OKAY. AND THEN ALSO GOING TO
THE RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT ANALYSIS. JUST THINKING OF I KNOW YOU'RE FOCUSING ON HR, BUT EVEN HR HAS TO COMPLETE THINGS THAT HAVE NATURE. AND THIS IS WHERE I'M TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF THE METRICS OF DEFINING SUCCESS AND HOW WE CAN START TO TRACK THAT IN A MORE GRANULAR,
LIKE, PHASE. WE'VE HAD THE CONVERSATION AROUND THE LEGISLATIVE PRESS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE TO UPDATE THAT. AND TO MODERNIZE IT AND IMPROVE IT. SO JUST TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF ANY OF THIS WORK WILL ALSO LEAD TO POTENTIALLY UPDATING THIS CRICAL PART OF DEPARTMENTS TO
HAVE A SAY, "OKAY, THIS IS HOW WE'RE APPROACHING THIS ITEM. SUBMITTING FOR CONSIDERATION BY COUNCIL. AND THE RACIAL EQUITY ANALYSIS WE DID ON THE ITEM." >> YES, CHAIR WONSLEY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I'M IN FULL AGREEMENT. BECAUSE, AH, THE CURRENT RCA PROCESS IS PROBABLY
ABOUT A DECADE OLD FROM WHEN IT WAS FIRST START. AND THEN WITH THIS EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT, IT'S, UMM WE'RE TAKING AND FIGURING OUT THE QUESTIONS IN THE CURRENT ONE AND TRNG TO BLEND IT INTO THE EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT THAT GOODWORKS HAS. ALONG WITH SOM
OF OUR OWN CITIES' DEFINITIONS AROUND, LIKE, RACE AND RACL EQUITY. SO THE CUSTOMZATION OF IT. SO THE EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT THAT GOODWORKS HAS IS A LOT MORE DETAILED THAN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS CURRENT ONE. AND THE THOUGHT PROCESS, IF A PERSON IS TRAINED ON A MORE
COMPREHENSIVE RACE EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT FROM ANOTHER ORGANIZATION, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS' CURRENT RACE EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT. TO GET TO MORE ACTIONABLE ITEMS AND RESULTS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE, A
LITTLE BIT. SO WE'RE WORKING ON BLENDING THE CUSTOMZATION OF THE RACE EQUITY IMPACT WITH GOOD WORKS SO IT CONNECTS TO SOME OF THE CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS WE ARE HAVE WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. THE OPERATIONAL POLICYRIORITIES. SO THAT
ASSESSMENT WILL BE KEPT TETHERED AND CONNECTED TO OTHER RACIAL EQUITY INITIATIVES. >> OKAY. AND THEN JUST MY LAST QUESTION, UMM, JUST KNOWING THAT, UMM, WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF CONVERSATION AROUND, LIKE, INTERCONNECTEDNESS AROUND OTHER IDENTITIES WITHINACIAL EQUITY
IN TERMS OF, LIKE, GENDER SEXUALITY. I KNOW BUDGET ENDMENTS MOVED A LOT OF THAT WORK OUT OF REIB. I WANT TO THE GET A SENSE OF, IS THAT WORK PRIMARILY GOING TO BE TAKEN UP BY NCR NOW OR HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE RELAYING THAT TYPE OF INTERCONNECTED ANALYSIS AROUN
THOSE DIFFERENT IDEAS IN THIS PARTICULAR WORK. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR WONSLEY SO WITH THE EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT, OR RACE EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT, THERE IS, UMM, THERE'S A PIECE AROUND THE PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES ANDINTERSECT JUST LEADING WITH RACE, BUT NOT
LEING OUT PEOPLE'S OTHER INTERSECTIONALITIES. SO WHEN INDIVIDUALS ARE DOING, LIKE, AN ACTUAL THOROUGH EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT, THEY'LL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER OTHER PEOPLE'S -- OTHER SELF-ASCRIBED IDENTITIES. >> OKAY. UMM, I THINK DEFINITELY IN THE NEXT QUARTERLY
UPDATE, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE EVEN ABOUT THIS PIECE OF WHERE YOU ARE AT. I KNOW YOU MENTIONED KICKING OFF IN Q1. AND IT'S STARTING A LITTLE BIT BEHIND. BUT I DO SEE COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI IN QUEUE. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. >> AH, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I KNOW IN A PREVIOUS QUARTERLY UPDATE, YOU MENTIONED, AS WELL, THERE'S SOME WORK UNDERWAY TO REEVALUATE THE REIA AND, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY UPDATE THOSE AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TRAINING.
UMM, I'M WONDERING IF THIS WORK IS INCLUDING OR IS IN CONSULTATION WITH COLLABORATION WI ANYTHING OF THAT SORT. OUR CLERK'S OFFICE. AS THE PURPOSE
OF REIA WHICH IS B EMBEDDED INTO OUR REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION. COMMITTEE ACTION. ITS PURPOSE IS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AND DECISION MAKERS ABOUT THE IMPACT. THE RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT OF AN ACTION BEFORE US.
SO WONDERING IF YOU'RE TALKING WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE. >> AH, CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHI. WE'LL BE TALKING TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE. AND THEN, IN ADDITION, FOR METAMORPHOSIS, ALL WERE
INVITED TO ATTEND. WITHIN METAMORPSIS, THERE WAS A SECTION SPECIFICALLY A LEARNING LESSON AROUND THE EQUITY IMPT ASSESSMENT THAT GOODWORKS SHARED. THAT WAS OFFERED TO OEVER ATTENDED METAMORPHOSIS FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE WITH RESPECT TO THAT. WITH RESPECT TO THE CY'S RACIAL EQUITY
IMPACT, OR THE CITY'S REIA, WE'RE WORKING ON PROTOTYPING, SO TO SPEAK, AN UPDATED REIA, IN A SENSE AS WELL AS A RACE AND EQUITY BUDGETING TOOL. AND DEVEPING THE PROCESS. THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS -- ONE OF THE ITEMS FOR OUR DEPARENT NEXT. IS TO ACTUALLY DO THE ENGAGEMENT
WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS BENEFICIAL, WHAT IS NOT BENEFICIAL WITH THE CURRENT REIA AND ENGAGE THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND OTHER EMPLOYEES THAT UTILIZE IT. >> GOT IT. I WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE. THERE'S WORK UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW WITN THE LEGISLATIVE
DEPARTMENT TO REASSESS, YOU KNOW, THE, LIKE, A CHECKLIST FOR WHETHER RCA COMPLETED THOROUGHLY OR PROPERLY. WHETHER, UMM, REIAS ARE BEING COMPLETED IN A MANNER THAT ALLOWS FOR ANYONE READING THEM, WHETHER THAT IS A
COU COUNCILMEMBER ABOUT TO TAKECTION ON THE ITEM BEFORE THEM, OR A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT'S TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN ACTION IS BENEFICIAL TO THEM. YOU KNOW, THAT WORK IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WILL CONTINUE TO
ENCOURAGE AND URGE THAT YOU ENGAGE WITH LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT AND THE CLERK'S OFFICE, AS THAT'S, UMM, THAT'S WORK THAT WE ARE -- THAT I'M AWARE IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW, AS WELL. UMM. JUST SHIFTING GEARS, UMM, I -- I'M CURIOUS IF
YOU CAN SPEAKO, UMM, -- AND THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A PRECISE NUMBER. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME A BALLPARK ON, UMM, HOW MANY ENTERPRISE LEADERS HAVE COMPLETED TRAINING THE REPAIR
HARM MODEL AND THE THOUGHTFUL CONFRONTATION MODEL. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI. I DON'T HAVE THE DATA. ONCE AGAIN, I KNOW THAT I THINK WITHIN THE NEX MONTH, THERE WILL BE A MORE FORMAL PRESENTATION, SPECIFICALLY ABOUT METAMORPHOSIS. AND SO I WILL COMMUNICATE THAT. BECAUSE IT
PROBABLY MIGHT BE IN THAT PRESENTATION. >> GOT IT, UMM, YEAH. SOMETHING I'M CURIOUS ABOUT. MY UNDERSTANDING, IT'S, YOU KNOW LIKE, ALL DEPARTMENT LEADERS AND THEN, UMM, ADDITIONAL, UMM, LEADERS WITHIN DEPARTMENTS, AS WELL, THAT HAVE TO DATE
COMPLETED THE TRAINING IN BOTH OF THESE MODELS. I WAS CURIOUS IF YOU COULD, UMM, SAK TO WHETHER YOU'VE SEEN EITHER OF THESE MODELS BE USED, AH YOU KNOW, PUT IN ACTION SO FAR SINCE THE COMPLETIOOF THIS TRAINING. OR --
>> YES. CHAIR WONSLEY, VICE PRESIDENT CHUGHTAI, WITH RESPECT TO THE REPAIR HARM MODEL, THIS WAS UTILIZED AND I'M THINKING ABOUT HOW TO COMMUNICATE THIS WHILE MAINTAINING THE LEVEL OF
CONFIDENTIALITY. UMM, SO THERE WAS A SITUATION IN WHICH SOMEONE HAD MADE SOME PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT REALLY HARMED CERTAIN GROUPS OF PEOPLE. UMM, AND THE COMMENTS INITIALLY, UMM, WEREN'T
SERIOUS. IT WAS A PERSON WHO, UMM, AH, WHO KIND OF MADE A JOKE ABOUT SOMETHING AND THEN IT CAME BACK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HARMED BY THE COMMENTS. I ENDED UP HAVING A SIT DOWN CONSULTATION WITH THAT EMPLOYEE. WE WENT OVER THE REPAIR HAR
MODEL AROUND TRUTH TELLING. LIKE, WHAT IS THE TRUTH THEY WANTED TO CONVEY. LIKE, WHEN THEY MADE THE COMMENTS. AND WE TALKED THROUGH THAT. SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND. WHICH IS THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE HARMED BY THE COMMENTS PRIMARILY, UMM, RACIALIZED PEOPLE, INDIVIDUALS
WITH DISABILITY, INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFYING AROUND LGBTQ AROUND THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF THE SITUATION. AND THEN REMEDIATE WAS AFTER HEARING AND UNDERSTANDING, THIS EMPLOYEE CALLED TOGETHER ALL THE EMPLOYEES THAT WERE IMPACTED BY THE COMMENTTHAT WERE MADE TO
BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SEEK TO UNDERSTAND. AND THEN LISTEN THROUGH FEEDBACK AROUND WHAT THEIR CONCERNS WERE. AND THEN TO FOLLOW UP ANDOLLOW THROUGH. THEY MADE CERTAIN PROMISES TO THE GROUPS OF EMPLOYEES AROUND RUMORS OF THINGS THAT MAY HAVE CHANGED AND SETTING THE RECORD
STRAIGHT AROUND ANY MISCONCEPTIONS. BEING ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND DO THIS. WE ALSO, WORKING WITH GOODWORKS IS NEEDING RE CASE STUDIES AROUND THE MODELS. THERE'S SOME SAMPLE
CASE STUDIES BUT WE WANT TO WORK WITH EMPLOYEES TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY'RE U UTILIZING THE MODEL SPECIFICALLY. I CAN SHARE A ONE-ON-ONE INSTANCE WITH A EMPLOYEE. I HAD TO SIT DOWN AND REPAIR SOME HARM, LIKE, WITH AN
EMPLOYEE THAT WAS -- AN EMPLOYEE I MET WITH. IT WAS SITTING DOWN, TRUTH TELLING, AND STATING MY PROSPECTIVE AND HEARING THEIR PERSPECTIVE FROM WHAT THE SITUATION WAS. BEING ABLE TO END THAT MEETINGN CONVERSATION. JUST BEING ABLE TO COME TO TERMS WITH ME UNDERSTANDING THEIR TRUTH. THEM
UNDERSTANDING MY TRUTH. AND WE WAS ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THE RESOLVE OF THE SITUATION. SO I SEE IT BENEFICIAL IN ONE-ON-ONE SETTINGS AS WELL AS LARGER GROUP SETTINGS. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL. . >> >. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT. I DON'T SEE ANY
FURTHER QUESTIONS. ACTUALLY, NO, NO. I DID, ACTUALLY, YOU MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW THERE WOULD BE AN UPDATED PRESENTATION ON THE METAMORPHOSIS PIECE. I WANTED TO SEE IF, AH, DEPUTY DIRECTOR,

GLOBAL FOR THE 2025MINNEAPOLUS. I'LL ASK DEPUTY DIRECTOR LAKES FOR THEM TO COME UP AND GIVE THEIR PRESENTATION. UP FOR US.
MUPS
>> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS LEAH LAKES WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT, AND I'M GOING TO PRESE TODAY ABOUT THE PROCESS FOR THE CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL TECHNICAL ADVISOR REQUEST
FOR PROPOSAL. THE RFP PROCESS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE TO FIND AN ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETYEPARTMENT, TO IMPLEMENT THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL IN OUR MINNEAPOLUS
STRATEGIC OUTREACH VIOLENCE PREVENTION WORK. TH TECHNICAL PROVIDED -- THE TECHNICAL PROVIDER CHOSEN FROM THIS RFP WOULD PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT, INCLUDING COMPREHENSIVE GUIDANCE ON ESTABLISHING ROBUST
DATA COLLECTION SYSTEMS. AND ALSO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRNING PROTOCOLS FOR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS. THEY WOULD ALSO PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY-FOCUSED APPROACH, INCLUDING SUPPORTING
ORGANIZATIONS IN DELIVERY OF EFFECTIVE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION STRATEGIES, AND IDENTIFYING HIGH-RISK NEIGHBORHOODS, AND MAKING SURE OUR STRATEGIES ARE DATA DRIVEN. THEY WOULD ALSO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING CREATING
EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION FRAMEWORK, BUILDING CAPACITY FOR LONG-TERM PROGRAM SUSTAINABILITY, AND ESTABLISHING METRICS FOR PROGRAM EVALUATION. THIS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WOULD BE CRITICAL IN ENSURING THE
SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL IN OUR MINNEAPOLUS STRATEGIC OUTREACH VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION WORK., AND ALLING US TO CREATE LASTING, POSITIVE CHANGE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL IS A GROUND-BREAKING APPROACH IN VIOLENCE PREVENTION. THIS MODEL ADDRESSES VIOLENCE THROUGH A PUBLIC HEALTH LENS, TREATING IT AS AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE THATPREADS THROUGH
COMMUNITY INTERACTIONS. THIS INNOVATIVE APPROACH HAS TRANSFORMED HOW WE UNDERSTAND AND ADDRE VIOLENCE IN URBAN SETTINGS. THE MODEL OPERATES ON THREE KEY PRINCIPLES: FIRST, IT IDENTIFIES AND WORKS WITH
HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY BE TRANSMITTERS OF VIOLENCE BEHAVIOR. SECOND, IT EMPHASIZES EARLY INTERVENTION TO PREVENT VIOLENCE IIDENTS BEFORE THEY OCCUR. AND, THIRD, IT FOCUSES ON STOPPING THE FURTHER SPREAD
OF VIOLENCE WITHIN COMMUNITIES. WHAT MAKES THIS MODEL PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE IS ITS RELATIONSHIP-BASED APPROACH. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS, OUR COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS OPERATE THROUGH ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST
NETWORKS. THEIR EFFTIVENESS COMES FROM THEIR DEEP CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE COMM COMMUNITY, AND THEIR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND RESPOND TO POTENTIAL VIOLENCE BASED ON VARIOUS INFORMATION SOURCES THEY'VE CULTIVATED. SINCE ITS
INITIAL PILOT IN CHICAGO IN 2008, THIS MODEL HAS DEMONSTRATED SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONALLY. IT IS PROVEN ADAPTABLE TO VARIOUS FORMS OF VIOLENCE, FROM GANG-RELATED INCIDENTS TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
TO SCHOOL SAFETY CONCERNS. IT IS CRITICAL TO IMPLEMENT THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL IN OUR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION ITIATIVES, AS IT IS DATA DRIVEN AND APPROACH FROM NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETYND VIOLENCE
PREVENTION. FOR MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS TO LIVE SAFELY AND THRIVE, WE MUST ADDRESS VIOLENCE AT ITS CORE. THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL OFFERS A STRUCTURED, MEASURABLE APPROACH THAT HAS SHOWN SIGNIFICANT RESULTS TO REDUCE SHOOTINGS AND KILLINGS IN
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BY IMPLEMENTING THIS MODEL, WE DEMONSATE OUR COMMITMENT NOT JUST RESPONDING TO VIOLENCE, BUT TO PREVENT IT THROUGH DATA DRIVEN METHODS THAT CAN CREATE LASTING, POSITIVE CHANGES IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. THE CURE VIOLENCE MOOD L'S REMARKABLE EFFECTIVENESHAS BEEN PROVEN ACROSS DIVERSE COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE. THE STATISTICS YOU
SEE HERE ON THE SLIDE AREN'T JUST NUMBERS, BUT THEY ALSO REPRESENT THE LIVES THAT HAD BEEN SAVED AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED. BY IMPLEMENTING CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL, OR BY IMPLEMENTING CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL'S APPROACH IN
MINNEAPOLIS, WE ARE POSITIONING OURSELVES TO ACHIEVE SIMILAR TRANSFORMATION IN OUR OWN COMMUNITIES. THE CRITICAL
GUIDELINES FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR GETTING A SOLE WAIVER IS SOMETHING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. BECAUSE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY ORIGINALLY APPLI FOR A SOLE SOURCE WAIVER FOR THIS APPLICATION. THE REQUIREMENTS
FOR APPROVING A SINGLE SOURCE WAIVERRE OUTLINED BY P PROCUREMENT, AND THEY ARE DETAILEDUT TO ENSURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF PROCUREMENT INTEGRITY AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE SOURCE AND SOLEOURCE WAIVERS.
A SINGLE SOURCE MEANS ONLY ONE SUPPLIER IS RESPONSIBLE -- IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE AFTER A THOROUGH SEARCH. AND A SOLE SOURCE INDICATES ONLY ONESUPPLIG THE REQUIRED SERVICE, DUE TO
UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES. KEY PARAMETERS FOR THIS INCLUDE PURCHASES THAT ARE ABOVE $5,000 BUT NOT EXCEEDING $175,000. IT REQUIRES DOCUMENTATION AND
JUSTIFICATION. AND IT MUST DEMONSTRATE REASONABLE EFFORT TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SUPPLIERS. IT'S CRITICAL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE VALID JUSTIFICATION FOR A SINGLE
SOURCE. WHICH IS PERNAL OR AGENCY PREFERENCE, PERCEPTION OF A VENDOR AS BEST QUALIFIED WITHOUT COMPETITIVE EVALUATION, AND POOR PLANNING RESULTING IN INSUFFICIENT TIME FOR COMPETITIVE BIDDING. THE
PROCESS DEMANDS RIGOROUS SCTINY AND DOCUMENTATION TO ENSURE WE MAINTAIN TRANSPARENCY AND FAIRNESS IN OUR PROCUREMENT PROCESSES, WHILE MAKING USE OF BEST PUBLIC RESOURCES. OUR
CURRENT PARTNERSHIP WITH CURE VIOLENCE STARTED AS A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT FROM WHEN NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY WAS A PART OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AS PART OF THE OFFICE OF VIOLENCE PREVENTION. OUR CURRENT CONTRACT WITH CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL IS APPROACHING ITS EX
EXPIRATION IN MCH OF 2025. THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT HAS SUBMITTED A SOLE SOURCE WAIVER APPLICATION TO CONTINUE RECEIVING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING FROM CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL. T PROPOSED SOLE SOURCE WAIVER
PRODUCED CONTRACT, IF APPROVED, WOULD HAVE COMMENCED ON JUNE 1st, 2024, AND EXTENDED THROUGH JUNE 31st, 2026. THISCD ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED SUPPORT FROM OURIOLENCE PREVENTION
INITIATIVES, AND MAINTAIN THE MOMENTUM WE'VE BUI IN OUR COMMUNITY SAFETY EFFORTS. WHILE PROCUREMENT DENIED THE SOLE SOURCE WAIVER, DUE TO THE PURCHASE DOLLAR LIMIT BEING OVER $175,000, WE REMAINED COMMITTED
TO SECURING PR APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT OUR VIOLENCE PREVENTION EFFORTS AND BEGAN COMPILING AN RFP PROCESS TO IDENTIFY A VENDO TO PROVIDE US WITH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON THE CURE VIOLENCE
MODEL. AND NSD STAFF WROTE THE REQUIREMENTS INTO THE RFP TO ALIGN WITH THE CITY'S GOALS AND COMMUNITY NEEDS. WITH ALSO INCLUDED CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS. OUR RFP INCLUDED DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
AND EXPECTATIONS, GIVEN ALL POTENTIAL RESPONDERS EQUAL ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND OPPORTUNITY. WE ALSO OUTLID OUR REVIEW PROCESS IN THE RFP WITH CLEAR EVALUATION CRITERIA
TO ENSURE UNBIASED ASSESSMENT OF ALL PROPOSALS. WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF INTEGRITY WITH OUR PROCESS, WE'VE ALSO COLLABORATED WITH THE PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEIR GUIDANCE HAS ASSURED THAT THE PROCESS WAS FA AND TRANSPARENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS PROVIDED CRUCIAL SUPPORT FOR ENSURING OUR
RFP COMPLIES WITH BOTH CITY AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS. THEIR OVERSIGHT HELPED GUARANTEE THAT OUR CONTRACTING PROEXCE PROEXCESS MEE ALL LEGAL STANDARDS AND PROTECTS THE INTEREST OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE STRUCTURE OF OUR RFP
DEMONSTRATES OUR DEDICATION TO FOSTERING FAIR COMPETITION WHILE MAINTAINING SERVICE DELIVERY I HELD TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS. BEFORE RELEASE, THE RFP WAS REVIEWED BY THE PERMANENT REVIEW COMMITTEE, WHICH CONSISTS OF A DIVEE PANEL OF EXPERTS WHO
REVIEW THE RFP FOR COMPLIANCE IN THEIR AREAS OF EXPERTISE, AND ENSURE THAT THE RFP FOLLOWS PROCUREMENT POLICIES, FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS, AND OTHER
DIRECTIVES AND MANDATES. WE CONDUCTED AN EXTENSIVE OUTREACH EFFORT. DELIVERY NOTIFICATIONS WERE DISTRIBUTED TOVER 7,000 SUBSCRIBERS, ENSURING BROAD
AWARENESS OF OUR RFP. THROUGH OUR E-SUPPLIER PLATFORM, WE REACHED OVER 700 POTENTIAL BIDDERS AND SUPPLIERS. THE CURRENT INCUMBENT VENDOR WAS ALSO DIRECTLY NOTIFIED OF THE OPPORTUNITY. AND OUR INTERNAL
AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS, AS WELL AS PREVIOUS VENDORS WITHIN -- AS WELL AS PREVIOUS VENDORS WERE NOTIFIED OF THE OPPORTUNITY VIA E-MAIL BY NSD STAFF. THIS COMPREHENSIVE OUTREACH APPROACH
DEMONSTRATED OUR COMMITMENT TOI, AND ENSURED ALL QUAFIED ORGANIZATIONS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE. UNDER THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL, ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE SELECTED
FOR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTER WORK, WILL RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING ON KEY COMPONENTS OF THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL. DETECTING AND INTERVENING IN POTENTIAL VIOLENCE SITUATIONS, WORKING WITH HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS WHO CHALLENGE THEIR
BEHAVIOR, AND ENGAGING IN COMMUNITY TO SHIFT NORMS SUPPORTING ANTIVIOLENCE PRACTICES. THE SELECTED VENDOR WILL OFFER CONTINUOUS GUY DANCE THROUGH -- GUIDANCE THROUGH WORKSHOPS, COACHING WITH AND
ON-THE-GROUND SUPPORT. THE RFP WAS DESIED TO IDENTIFY THE MOST QUALIFIED VENDORS TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT AND TECHNICAL GUIDANCE. TO ENSURE WE MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST
STANDARDS 66 S SERVICE DELIVERIES WITH ALL MUST MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS. THEY MUST BE A MINNESOTA BUSINESS AND REGISTERED AS ONE. AND THEY HAVE TO FALL INTO ONE OF THE CATEGORIES OF EITHER AN
IRS-DESIGNATED 501C3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, A NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION, CULTURAL ORGANIZATION, OR PLACES O WORSHIP OR FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATION.RESPONDENTS MUST ALSO DEMONSTRATE A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF PROVIDING TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE TO VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS STAFF AND PARTNERS SPECIFICALLY USING THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL. THEY ALS MUST NOT BE LISTED IN THE FEDERAL OR MINNESOTA STATE DEPARTMENT LIST, AND THEY MUST BE IN GOOD STANDING WITH MINNESOTA
SECRETARY OF STATE. OUR EVALUATION PROCESS FOR THOSE WHO APPLIED TO THIS RFP WASO USE A 100-POINT SCORING SYSTEM ACROSS THREE KEY AREAS. QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE WERE WORTH 40
POINTS. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH W WORTH 30 POINTS. AND THE COST PROPOSAL WAS WORTH 30 POINTS. THIS STRUCTURED EVAATION APPROACH HELPED US IDENTIFY THE MOST QUALIFIED VENDOR TO SUPPORT OUR
VIOLENCE PRENTION INITIATIVES. I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT FOLLOWING A RIGOROUS RFP PROCES CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL HAS BEEN SELECTED TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR OUR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTER INITIATIVE,
WHICH FOLLOWS THE CURE VIOLCE MODEL. THE SELECTION PROCESSWAE WITH CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL DEMONSTRATING EXCEPTIONAL EXPERTISE AND CAPABILITY ACROSS ALL EVALUATION CRITERIA. THEIR
PROPOSAL DEMONSTRATED TO SEVERAL CRITICAL AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD SUPPORT US. INCLUDING STAFFING SCHEDULE HOURS AND WORK ADVISING, WHI INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPTIMAL STAFFING PATTERNS FOR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION WORK, GUIDELINES
FOR SHIFT COVERAGE AND HIGH-RISK AREAS. THEY ALSO PROVIDE STAFF PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY, INCLUDING IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAR PERFORMANCE METRICS AND
TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT OF STAFF EVALUATION FRAMEWORKS, AND CREATION OF ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS THAT ALIGN WITH PROGRAM GOALS. THEY ALSO DEMONSTRATED THEIR ABILITY TO SUPPORT PROGRAM MONITORING AND REPORTING,
INCLUDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MPREHENSIVE DATA COLLECTION TOOLS AND PROTOCOLS, DESIGN OF REGULAR REPORTING MECHANISMS, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES. IN ADDITION, THEY DEMONSTRATEDTHEIM
OUTCOME EVALUATION SUPPORT. INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEASURABLE SUCCESS INDICATORS, THE CREATION OF IMPACT ASSESSMENT TOOLS, AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESSES. THEIR EXPERTISE IN IMPLEMENTING THE
CURE VIOLENCE MODEL COMBINED WITH THEIR PROVEN TRACK RECORD IN TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE POSITIONS THEM TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE AND QUALITY SUPPORT FOR OUR CITIES' VIOLENCE PREVENTION EFFORTS. I WOULD
LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT T SOPHISTICATED DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DEVELOP AND MAINTAINED BY CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL. IT REPRESENTS 15 YEARS OF REFINED DOCUMENTATION TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES, SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED FORIOLENCE PREVENTION OUTREACH WORK, FOLLOWING THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL. THIS WEB-BASED SYSTEM ENCOMPASSES SEVERAL CRITICAL COMPONENTS. IT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE DATA COLLECTION, INCLUDING OUTREACH,
RTICIPATION, TRACKING, CASE MANAGEMENT, DOCUMENTATION, COMMUNITY ACTIVITY RECORDS, VIOLENT INCIDENT MONITORING, COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION EFFORTS, PUBLIC EDUCATION INITIATIVES,
AND CONFLICT MEDIATION TRACKING. CLEAR VIOLENCE GLOBAL PROVIDES ROBUST TRAINING AND SUPPORT, INCLUDING THOROUGH DATA BASE TRAINING FOR ALL KEY PERSONNEL, INCLUDING THE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS, OUTREACH WORKERS, SITE SUPERVISORS, PROGRAM
MANAGERS, AND CITY STAFF WHO ARE OVERSEEING THIS PROJECT. T SERVICE PACKAGE PROVIDED BY CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL INCLUDES COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT, INCLUDING REGULAR DATA ANALYSIS AND REPORTING, SCHEDULE CHECK AND
CALLS, ONGOING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE, AND REAL TIME MONITORING DASHBOARDS. THE CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL ROBUST DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ENSURES
TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WELL, AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN OUR VIOLENCE PREVENTION EFFORT. THE DATA ENTERED BY VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS WILL BE USED TO CREATE PERFORMANCE MONITORING DASH BOARDS. HERE YOU SEE AN
EXAMPLE OF A DASH BOARD STRUCTURE THAT YOU WOULD SEE UPON COLLABORATION WITH OUR CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS. THIS LINE CHART SHOWS THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF CASE NOTES PER PARTICIPANT
OVER TIME. OTHER OUTPUTS WILL HAVE THEIR OWN DASH BOARD VISUALIZATIONS, INCLUDING NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS, MEDIATIONS, FOLLOW UP, EDUCATION PROVIDED AMONG OTHER ACTIVITIES. IT ALSO PROVIDES REAL TIME DATA
VISUALIZATION TO ASSIST IN COMMUNICATION AND TARGETED IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. THIS DA-DRIVEN APPROACH ENSURES OUR RESOURCES ARE DEPLIED WITH MAXIMUM EFFICIEY AND IMPACT. FOCUSING ON AREAS WHERE VIOLENCE FROM VENGS EFFORTS CAN MAKE THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IT'S A STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY'S SAFETY AND REESENTS A TOTAL COMMITMENT
$16 1,000 OVER THREE YEARS AND STRUCTURED TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT WHILE DEMONSTRATING FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. CURE VIOLENCEGS INCLUDED WITHIN THE COST. ENSURING OUR PROGRAM MEETS THE
HIGHEST STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL EXPENSE. THIS CAREFULLY-STRUCTURED INVESTMENT REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO BUILD PROGRAM EXCELLENCE AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. IN CONCLUSION,
THIS SELECTION OF CURE VIOLENCE GLOBALS OUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDER SHOWS OUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO REDUCING VIOLENCE IN MINNEAPOLIS. THEIR EXPERTISE BRINGS PROVEN TRACK RECORD IN VIOLENCE PREVENTIO PROGRAMMING, COMPREHENSIVE
TRAINING, AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK, ROBUST DATA COLLECTION AND EVALUATION SYSTEMS, AND EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH TO PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION. THIS PARTNERSHIP POSITIONS MINNEAPOLIS TO IMPLEMENT THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL, ENSURING
HIGHEST STANDARDS OF SERVICE DELIVERY AND MEANINGFUL IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I STAND READY FOR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, DEPUTY DIRECTOR
LAKE. I SEE FOLKS IN QUEUE. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. JUST ONE QUESTION OF CLARIFICATION ON THE RCA. IT
SEA SAYS IT'S A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH NO OPTION TO EXCEED THREE YEARS OR EXTEND BEYOND THREE YEARS. NO OPTION TO EXTEND. SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THERE'S NO OPTION TOXTENT. IS THAT A CITY FINANCIAL POLICY ?
>> >> COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN WITHIN THE YEARS IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME TO ACHIEVE FULL CERTIFICATION. THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE ON THE RCA. >> FOR THE CITY? >> YES. CORRECT. >> AND ONCE WE ACHIEVE CERTIFICATION, DO YOU ANTICIPATE
IT'LL TAKE THREE YEARS TO ACEVE? THERE'S NO WAY TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN? >> LOCAL CERTIFICATION AND THERE'S ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATIONSOR THE DIFFERENT SITES. BUT WE'RE GOING FORWARD THE LOCAL CERTIFICATION. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN
MY SECOND QUESTION, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, WAS ABOUT THE DASH BOARD. RIGHT. THEATA. I KNOW THE D.I.D. IN THEIR SERVICES, DO YOU HAVE A SIMILAR DATA BASE? I'M WONDERING FOR IT'S COMPATIBLE, IF YOU KNOW IF IT'S COMPATIBLE. SO THAT
VIOLENCE INTERRUPTER GROUPS WHO ARE HIRED BY THE CITY BUT ALSO HIRED BY GROUPS LIKE D.I.D. IS THE DATA GOING TO BE IN OUTED IN A SIMILAR WAY TO BE COLLABORATIVE? WHETHER IT'S WITH D.I.D. OR THE COUNTY OR THE CITY. AND INTERFACING WITH ITS, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER DATA SETS.
>> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMA THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK THE SHORT ANSWER IS "IF THE SET." THEY ARE SEPARATE DATA BASES. I DON'T KNOW WHA KIND OF SOFTWARE D.I.D. IS USING. THE LONGER ANSWER IS, WE CAN
DUMP THE DATA INTO A -- IN A WAY THAT WCAN COMPILE THE DATA AND THEN PULL OUT COMPATIBLE MEASUREMENTS. SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO USING SOFTWARE AND CODING TO KIND OF MAKE SOME STATISTICAL COMPARISONS. BUT IT WOULD TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK
AND CLEANING. >> OKAY. THANKS. I'M GOING TO ASK THEPERATIONS OFFICER TO SEND OVER THEIR INFORMATION SO YOU AND THE TEAM. BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, REPRESENTING DOWNTOWN IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO -- FOR TSE SYSTEMS TO BE WORKING TOGETHER. AND, OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS ONE OF THE SITES DOWNTOWN THAT HAS THE
MOST ISSUES GOING ON. JUST BECAUSE OF THE LARGE, YOU KNOW, GROUPS OF PEOPLE BEING HERE. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION WAS JUST ABOUT THE DASH BOARD, AS WELL. WILL IT BE PUBLIC? AVAILABLE, TRANSPARENT TO EVERYONE IN THE PUBLIC OR JUST AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST? >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER
CASHMAN, WE CAN CHOOSE WHAT WE WANT TO DO. SO WE CAN MAKE PORTIONS OF IT PUBLIC. WE CAN KEEP PORTIONS OF IT PRIVATE. BASED OFF THE NEEDS AND OUR GOALS, WE CAN PLAY WITH WHAT IS PUBLIC AND WHAT IS PRIVATE. >> OKAY. I'LL EXPRESS THAT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IS OUR GREATEST ASS. OUR
GREATEST TOOL FOR BEING RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT SERVICE. SO I WOULD ADVOCATE FOR, LIKE, FULL TRANSPARENCY OF OUR THIS FOR OUR RESIDENTS SO THEY CAN ALSO TRACK AND MONITOR AND EDUCATE THEMSELVES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS WORK. BECAUSE IF THEY DON'TNDERSTAND ITS VALUE, THEN IT'S, YOU KNOW,
IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS, THEN THEY CAN'T APPRECIATE ITS VALUE AS MUCH AS THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS APPRECIATE ITS VALUE TO OUR COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. I ALSO WANT TO NOTE FOR THE RORD THAT COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN HAS JOINED
US, TOO. NEXT, I SEE UNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. THANK YOU, CHAIR WONSLEY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIRECTOR LAKES FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE DIRECTION WE'RE GOING IN WITH THESE GRANTS. THE LEVEL OF OVERSIGHT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY FEELS REALLY GOOD! I WOU GO AS FAR AS SAYING BETTER THAN I'VE EVER FELT BEFORE ABOUT THESE GRANTS. SO THANKOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I'M WONDERING, THOUGH, IF YOU CAN JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CURE VIOLENCE AND IF IT HAD THIS IS A NEW
MODEL. BECAUSE WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT CURE VIOLENCE. AND USED SOME VERSION OF IT. WHY ARE THINGS DIFFERENT NOW? AND, LIKE, HAS SOMETHING SHIFTED? AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT HAPPENED. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER
VETAW. I WOULD SAY THE MODELS STARTED IN 2008. WE'VE HAD ADVISING WITH CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL FOR AWHILE. I WOULD SAY WITH THESE -- WITH THE PILOT OF HOW IT STARTED BEFORE WITH THE MINNEAPOLUS CONTRACTS AND THE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS, I THINK
THERE WAS A GREAT BEGINNING OF STARTING TO FOO FOLLOWHE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL. I THINK WE KIND OF LEARNED MORE OVER TIME, AND NOW WE'RE READY, AS ORGANIZATIONS, TO KIND OF TAKE THE NEXT STEP AND TO USING THESE DATA BASES AND TO HAVE A CONTRACT THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN
AFTER WE'VE HAD THAT EXPERIEE. WHERE WE'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY TOUNGE TO KIND OF DEVELOP SOMETHING MORE ROBUST.
>> I SAW A BIG SHIFT IN STAFFING. THERE'S FIVE FULL-TIME INTERRUPTERS. THERE CAN BE UPO FIVE FULL-TIME, LIKE, STAFF WHO ARE OUTSIDE,KINE WALKING UP-AND-DOWN IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THE PROBLEMS
ARE. TWO RESOURCE OFFICERS. I DON'T KNOW THE SCIFIC NAMES OF THEM. A SUPERVISOR, AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE PERSON WHO RUNS THE ORGANIZATION HAS A MAXIMUM OF HOW MUCH THEY CAN BILL FOR THEMSELVES, TO. HOW DID THAT
COME ABOUT? WHAT WAS THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL? WT WAS THE DISCUSSION HOW WE HAVE TRANSFORMED TO BEING VERY SPECIFIC ON STAFFING? >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. WE HAVE USED CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL'S ADVICE AND WE HAVE LOOKED AT THEIR DATA AND THEY'VE ADVISED US THAT HAVING
THAT STANDARDIZATION OF THE SIZES IS WHA THEY ADVISE. BASED OFF OF THE DATA AND THE STUDIES THEY'VE DONE. SO WE'RE COPYING THAT MODEL, BASED OFF OF THEIR DATA-DRIVEN RECOMMENDATIONS. >> THIS IS SOME OF THE -- I MEAN, THE CHARTS YOU GAVE US WITH THE OTHER CITIES, THE DROP IN NUMBERS IS TREMEOUS. AND SO THESE NUMBERS ARE BASED OFF
OF A MODEL THAT, LIKE, THESE CITIES USE? >> CORRECT. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT'S GOODO KNOW. I MEAN, IT FEELS VERY DIFFERENT BUT I'M ON BOARD TO SEE WHA HAPPENS. RIGHT. WHEN YOU THINK OF FIVE, YOU'RE LIKE, "WELL, THAT'S A LOT DIFFERENT THAN, LIKE, WHAT I'VE
PREVIOUSLY SEEN." BUT I UNDETAND. AND CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KIND OF ON-THE-GROUND INTERRUPTERS AND THE RESOURCE OFFICERS. >> CHAIR WONSLEY AND COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. CAN I FOLLOW UP IN A RESPONSE MEMO? I
WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THE CORRECT -- THE EXACT CORRECT THINGS TO THE QUESTION. >> ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH! AND THEN THE DATA YOU SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE ONE CENTRAL LOCATION FOR DATA. AND YOU MEAN, LIKE, FOR ALL THE GROUPSES THAT ARE SELECTED HERE? AND ALL THE GROUPS WORLDWIDE?
OR YOU MEAN JUST, LIKE, THE GROUPS HERE? >> IT'S MOBILE. IF THEY HAVE THEIR PHONE, THEIR LAPTOP.
THEY'LL INPUT THE DATA AND THE DATA IS STORED BY CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL CENTRALLY. ND ALL ORGANIZATIONS THAT USE THIS MODEL USE THE SAME DATA POINTS FOR COLLECTION. SO WE CAN COMPARE ACROSS CITIE WE STILL
OWN THE DATA. THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS OWNS THE DATA. SO HAVING A CONTRACT WITH CURE VIOLENCE, WE GET OUR DATA BACK AND WE HAVE 100% OWNERSHIP. IT'S A CENTRALIZE DATA BASE THEY USE. >> OKAY. YOU'RE ABLE TO, LIKE, SHARE AND LOOK AT TRENDS
HAPPENING IN OTHER CITIES AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. OKAY. MY LAST QUESTION IS, I SAW THAT A PART OF THE APPLICATION IS, I GUESS COMMUNITY BUY IN IS WHAT YOU CAN CALL I IF YOU'RE GOING TO DEPLOYED TO A PARTICULAR AREA, YOU HAVE TO GET
A LETTER FROM FOLKS, ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES. CAN YOU SPEAK AITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT, LIKE, THE SPECIFICS IN THAT. THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER
VEW. IN PREVIOUS RFPS, WE'VE RELIED ON THE RESPONDERS TO ATTEST TO THEIR CREDIBILITY. SO WITH WORKING WITH CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL IN THE RFP PROCESS, WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE SELECTED DO ACTUALLY HAVE CREDIBILITY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. AND SO AS A
PART OF THE RFP PROCESS, WE DID REQUIRE THREE TO FIVE NOT RISED LETTERS FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE RESPONDED TO THE RFP. >> WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED LETTERS ON THEIR BEHALF?
>> IT HAS TO BE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, PERSONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THEY'RE ATTESTING TO HAVING TIES TO. >> OKAY. SO THE APPLICANT SAID, LIKE, I PREFER TO WORK ONEST BROADWAY. AND THEN A PART OF THAT PROCESS -- I'M JUST USING
WARD 5 AS AN EXAMPLE. THIN YOU SAID GIVE US THREE TO FIVE LETTERS FROM BUSINESSES, ORGANIZATIONS, OR PEOPLE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA WHO CAN ATTEST TO KNOWING YOU, KNOWING THAT YOU ACTUALLY DO WORK HERE, AND HAVE DIRECT TIES TO THE COMMUNITY. >> YES. YES. ATTESTING TO
THEIR CREDIBILITY. IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION THEY SUBMITTED ABOUT THEIR ORGANIZATION, ABOUT THEIR TIES. BUT ATTESTATIONS CAN ONLY GO SO FAR. WE WANT TO KNOW YOU'RE TRULY A CREDIBLE MESSENGER IN YOUR COMMUNITY >> SOMEBODY IS VALIDATING THAT. >> WE'RE. IT'S NOTARIZED.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S IT FOR ME. >> THANKS, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL ACTUALLY LET COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN GO BEFORE ME.
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. I APPRECIATE IT. I'M NOT A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE. BUT IF YOU CAN SEE THE RH RIVER SIDE AND ALSO WEST BANK BUSINESS ASSOCIATION COMMUNITY MEMBERS, BUSINESS OWNERS ARE HERE TODAY.
THEY'RE HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE LEARNED THATERVICES OF VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS WAS REMOVED FROM THIS AREA. AS I RECALL, WE HAD THE SERVICE ALMOST FOUR PLUS YEARS. WE HAVE SEEN THE CHANGE. THE RIVER SIDE
HAS EXPERIENCED THE POSITIVE OUTCOME THAT THIS SERVICE HAS HAD IN OUR AREA. THAT THE BUSINESSES HAVE SPOKEN TO THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT I ATTENDED LAST TUESDAY, AND, UMM,
SO MY QUESTION IS TO WHAT SPECIFIC FACTORS INFLUENCE MAYOR FREY'S ADMINISTRATION DECISION TO REMOVE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS FROM CITY RIVER SIDE?
>> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. THIS SPECIFIC PRESENTATION HAS TO DO WITH THE ADVISOR. THE TECHNICAL ADVISOR CONTRACT. SO THIS PRESENTATION IS NOT ABOUT THE MINNEAPOLUS
INTERRUPTERS, BU ABOUT THE ADVISOR FOR THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL. >> DID I J JUMP AHEAD? >> YES. YEAH. SO WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSION ON THE MINNEAPOLUS CONTRACTS IN THE NEXT CYCLE.
>> I'M SORRY. I'LL RESERVE MY QUESTION FOR THE NEXT DISCUSSION. I APOLOGIZE. >> NO PROBLEM. SO GETTING IN QUEUE. I HAD A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS. SO LOOKING AT THE RFP REPORTED. I KNOW ON SLIDE 13, YOU HIGHLIGHT A BIT OF THE SCOPE OF THE WORK THAT CURE
VIOLENCE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THEIR ROLE. IN PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE I THINK YOU KNOW THIS BODY HAS WANTED A LOT MORE DATA AND A LOT MORE INFORMATION AND MORE TIMELY --
WELL, NO. AND TO HAVE CONCRETE TIMELINES AROUND WHEN THAT WOULD COME FORWARD TO US. THE LAST DELIBERATIONS ON THE GVI AND YGVI CONTRACTS. WE WERE TOLDE COULD NOT GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE DATA COLLECTION. THERE ARE SOME PROVISIONS IN HERE. I'M LOOKING ON PAGE 9 OF THE RFP
POINTS 8, 34E, 11. VARIOUS WAYS THERE WILL BE REPORTING. THERE WILL BE SOME ANALYS DONE, REFERENCES TOWARD QUARTERLY REPORTS. BUT I WANTED YOU TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCRETELY ABOUT THE TIMELINES ON HOW NSD INTENDS TO USE THAT PROGRAM MANAGING AND EVALUATION
AND REPORTING THAT IS GOING TO BE SUPPORTED THROUGH THIS CONTRACT. FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW THAT CONTRACTS HAVE TIMELINES BUILIN. WHERE CONTRACTORS WILL HAVE MEETINGS OR CHECK INS, SPECIFICALLY WITH THEIR PROGRAM MANAGER. AND I KNOW THAT ROLE
IS STI BEING IN THE HIRING -- OR STILL IN THE HIRING PHASE. I WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN WALK USTA MORE OPERATIONAL SENSE. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBERS. THE CONTRACT,
WHEN IT STARTS, IT WILL REQUIRE EVERY SINGLE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTER TO BE TRAINED BY CURE VIOLENC GLOBAL ON HOW TO USE THE DATA COLLECTING SYSTEM. THEY'LL IMMEDIATELYAVE TO START USING IT FOR THE BEGINNING OF ALL OF THEIR SHIFTS. SO IMMEDIATELY WE'LL START GETTING THAT DATA PUT IN. AND AS SOON AS WE GET THE DATA PUT IN, WE
CAN START SEEING IT ON A DASHBOARD. SO ALMOST IN PSEUDO REAL TIME. PRETTY QUICKLY, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEVELOP THOSE THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAVE WEEKLY CHECK INS. OBVIOUSLY, WE NEED TO WAIT FOR A WEEK BEFORE WE GET THE WEEKLY
CHECK IN DATA REPORT. BUT THE ANSWER THE SHORT ANSWERS PRETTY QUICKLY AFTER WE START. THEY'VE ALREADY BUILT THE DATA INPUT MECHANISM. WE WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM. AND THE GOAL IS TO START WITH THE NEW MINNEAPOLUS CONTRACTS ON APRIL 1st. SO IT SHOULD BE
PRETTY QUICK AFTER THAT. >> AND LOOKING AT THE QUARTERLY REPORTS, AGAIN, THAT'S ON POINT 11 OF PAGE 9. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THIS INFORMATION SHARED, ALSO, WITH THE BODY? I THINK THAT'S ALSO BEEN A TENSE POINT,
TOO. IT'S GREAT WE KNOW OUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN GIVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMT INFORMATION. HOW HAVE THAT INFORMATION NEVER MATRICULATED TO THE PUBLIC OR BODY SO WE CAN HAVE A SENSE OF THERE'S AUALLY SOME LEVEL OF EXPERTISE WITHIN THIS DEPARTMENT THAT IS BEING
UTILIZED AND HOW RESOURCES ARE BEING DEPLOYED WITHIN IT. I WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S A WAY TO GET THESE RESOURCES RELEASED, ALSO, PUBLICLY. AND PRESENTATIONS ON IT. OF WHAT CURE VIOLENCE IS, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING YOU AS A QUARTERLY ASSESSMENT.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE HAVE BUSINESS ANALYST WHO STARTED WITH US ALREADY. A PART OF HER WORK WILL BE DEVELOPING THOSE SH BOARDS THAT WILL BE ONLINE. AS WELL AS WORKING WITH THE COUNCIL AND WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN OUR COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY WHAT DATA POINTS ARE USEFUL TO THEM. WHAT STORIES THEY WANT TO BE SEEN AND BEING
TOLD. AND THEN WORKING ON DEVELOPING THAT FRONT-FACING. WE WOULD LIKE, AS MUCH, TO BE FRONT-FACING AS POSSIBLE. AND TO HE THE PUBLIC HAVE ACCESS TO THE RAW DATA, SO THEY CAN DOWNLOAD I THEMSELVES AND DO ANALYSIS THEMSELVES. RESEARCHER
SO WE ARE HOPING TO MAKE AS MUCH OF IT MAKE SENSE PUBLIC AVAILABLE. >> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THEN, UMM, WILL EITHER CURE VIOLENCE ALONG WITH NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT STAFF, SUCH AS THE BUSINESS AND ANALYSTS. WILL
YOU ALL BE WORKING TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE GAPS THAT THE NEW YORK UNIVERSITY POLICING PROJECT REPORT HIGHLIGHTED IN REGARDS TO THE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTER SERVICES? I KNOW ONE PARTICULAR GAP THEY IDENTIFY IS THAT THE TIMES AND AREAS IN WHICH
VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS WERE BEING DEPLOYED WERE NOT NECESSARILY EFFECTIVE. OR WASN'T GUIDED BY ACTUAL DATA. SO WANTED TO GET A SENSE OF IF THERE'S ANYTHING GOING ON AMONGST STAFF, RELATIONSHIP WITH CURE VIOLENCE
THAT WILL ADDRESS THAT GAP, ALONG WITH IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN THE CONTRACT THAT PROHIBITS, UMM, THE -- THE DEPLIE DEPLOYMENT OF SERVICES. WE'VE ALSO HEARD THAT, TOO, FROM PREVIOUS LOICH OF NSD. THERE
WAS GEOGRAPHIC CLAUSES THAT HAVE PROHIBITIONS IN THE CONTRACT AND IT LIMITS DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILIT SO THOSE TWO QUESTIONS. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, GOOD QUESTION.
FIRST QUESTION, WE HAVE GOOD CLEAR COMMUNICATION WITH DIRECTOR HARM HARRINGTON'S OFFICE TO ENSURE WE'RE MEET THE GAPS IN THE REPORT. AND ONE THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THAT SCHEDULING. AND CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL, THEY PROVIDE THAT EXPERTISE TO US.
SO THEY TELL US WHEN THE SCHEDULING SHOULD HAPPEN. AND THEY ALSO PROVIDE US WITH SEVERAL OTHER PIECES OF SUPPORT THAT WE CAN LOOK AT OUR SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES REPORT, AS WELL, TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
COVERING THE GAPS. THE -- CAN YOU REPEAT THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION. >> YEAH. THE SECOND QUESTION, IN THE ACTUAL CONTRACT THEMSELVES THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED, IF THERE'S ANY LANGUAGE AROUND GEOGRAPHIC CLAUSES THAT LIMITS OUR ABILITY TO DO FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT OF
VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS. BECAUSE THAT WAS LISTED AS A BARRIER LAST TIME. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBERS. SO IN THE PREVIOUS RFPS, THE LOCATIONS WERE SPECIFIED. VENDORS, ONCE APPLIED TO THE RFP, THEY HAD TO
HIGHLIGHT THE LOCATION WITHIN THEIR PROPOSAL RESPONSE THEY'RE APPLYING TO. THIS TIME AROUND, WE MADE IT OPEN-ENDED. WE WANTED TO USE THEATA TO DETERMINE WHERE INTERRUPTERS SHOULD BE DEPLOYED. AFTER HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE SITES WILL CHANGE OVER
ME, THE SHORT ANSWER IS "NO." IT WILL NOT. BUT AS DEPUTY LAKES MENTION, THAT IN TERMS OF THE HOURS OF DEPLOYMENT, WE'LL WORK CLOSELY WITH CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL TO ENSURE THAT THE TIMES MAKE SENSE. >> OKAY. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WILL BE RESPONDING TO SOMEORE
GAPS THAT THE NYU REPORT HIGHLIGHTED >> THAT'S CORRECT. AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION THAT IS LISTED IN THE CONTRACT IS VERY CLEAR AND ADAPTS TO THE MODEL. AND IS ENFORCEABLE. >> THANK YOU. FOR MY NEXT QUESTION, CLERKS, I'M HEARING 'S COLD IN HERE. I ALWAYS
THINK IT'S COLD EVEN THOUGH IT'S NICE OUTSIDE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS PART OF PSYCH PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE OR NOT. IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO GET SOMEE THAT HELPS WITH HEATING TO LET THEM KNOW TO TURN IT UP. SO WE CAN BE A LITTLE B MORE
COMFORTABLE IN HERE. THANK YOU! NEXT QUESTION, I DID ACTUALLY -- IF Y COULD KIND OF GO BACK AND SPELL OUT WHAT ACTUALLY COMES WITH THE SITE CERTIFICATION? ALSO? NOWHAT WE'RE OFFICIALLY
IN PURSUIT OF IT AND HAVE A THREE IN-YEAR TIMELINE. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, LET ME RESPOND TO THAT IN A MEMO, SO I CAN GET ALL THOSE DETAILS FOR YOU. >> OKA OKAY. I WILL NOTE IT AS A QUESTION FOR THE STAFF MEMO. LOOKING BACK ON THE RFP,
JUST SOMEWHAT RELATED TO WHAT COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN HAS RAISED. I KNOW ONE OF THE PIECES OF -- OR SCOPE OF WORK FOCUSES THAT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN POINT 13 OF THIS, IS THAT THEY WIL HELP SUPPORT THE DEPARTMENTS IN INVOLVING
DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. IT SOUNDS LIKE IN HIRING PANELS TO SELECT SUITABLE CANDIDATES AND ADDRESS POTENTIAL TERMINATION ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. IN REGARDS TO MAKING SURE THAT THE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T HAVE A LAPSE OF CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS NEEDED IN CERTAIN AREAS. WHAT HAS -- WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE OR HAS LOOKED LIKE FOR THE DEPARTMENT? HAS CURE VIOLENCE, PRIOR TO TODAY'S CONSIDERATION OF THE CONTRACT, ALSO SPOORTED YOU ALL WITH THAT?
>> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBERS. SPECIFIC TO TH NEED, THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ANY GUIDANCE ON THAT. THE FOCUS WAS REALLY ON THE DATA DETERMINED AND WHERE INTERRUPTERS WOULD BE DEPLOYED. I THINK THE APPLICABLE
INTERPRETATION OF THAT IS MORE SO ENSURING THAT THE INTERRUPTERS GO THROUGH THE HIRING PROCESS. EECIALLY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT HELD A CONTRACT PREVIOUSLY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY. ST TO ENSURE THAT TY'RE CREDIBLE MESSENGERS, THEY HAVE TIES TO
THE COMMUNITY. IN TERMS OF THE HIRING PROCESSES, IT'S BASED ON THE AREAS THEY'RE DEPLOYED TO, THEY CAN MEET THE BACKGROUND, I SUPPOSE, OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS. ENSURE THAT TH CAN COMMUNICATE WELL, HAVE THOSE TIES. I THINK THAT'S MORE SO THE TERPRETATION OF THAT. AND
HAVING DIVERSITY IN TERMS OF WHERE TEAMS WOULD BE DEPLOYED. >> OKAY. THEN FOLLOWING UP ON AT, IS THERE -- I'M LOOKING THROUGH, AGAIN, SCOPE OF FOCUS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT ADDRESSES BECAUSE I KNOW THIS HAPPENED BEFORE -- THE REASON WHY THERE WEREARGETED VIOLENCE
INTERRUPTER SERVICES FOR CEDAR RIVER SIDE, FOR INSTANCE, WHEN OBP INITIALLY ROLLED OUT. THEY RECOGNIZED THAT CRIME TRENDS WERE OVERLOOKED . SAME IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE CITY. EAST PHILIPS, HAPPENING
ACROSS INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES WARRANTS AN ACTUAL INTERRUPTION PROGRAM. SO THAT'S -- IT'S AN ONGOING CONCERN. DID WE HAVE THAT TYPE OF ANALYSIS, AND IF CURE VIOLENCE HAS EXPERTISE IN DEVELOPING SOME OF THAT. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION. I WOULD SAY SPECIFIC FOR THIS CONTRACT, THEY WOULD BE ADVISING ON, I WOULD SAY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DESCRIBING MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF VIOLCE INTERRUPTION THAN WHAT THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL RECOMMENDS. IF IT'S MORE
TARGETED TO ANYTHING THAT IS OUTSIDE OF TSE RECOMMENDATIONS OF CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT THERE ARE AREAS THAT MIGHT NEED A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT APPROACH, WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT
FRAMEWORK. THE CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL FRAMEWORK, SPECIFICALLY, IS DATA DRIVEN. AND LOOKING AT THOSE AREAS WHERE THE DATA IS SHOWING THERE'S HIGH LEVEL OF VIOLENCE. >> YEAH. I ALSO KNOW THEY'RE PUBLIC HEALTH DRIVEN. BECAUSE THEY'RE PUBLIC HEALTH DRIVEN, NOT ONLY DO THEY USE DATA. THEY
ALSO USE THAT IN COMMITMENTING SOCIOECONOMIC DYNAMICS OF THE AREA WHERE CRIME IS BEING TARGET. I'M AWARE, BECAUSE THEY WERE THERE CONSULTING IN THE INCLUSION OF CEDAR RIVER SIDE, THAT'S WHY WE HAD A VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION PROGRAM THERE. THEY ARE AWARE OF THAT. OF HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE OUR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION PROGRAMS ARE
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE? >> CHAIR WONSLEY, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING NOW. I APOLOGIZE. >> UH-HUH. >> THE CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL IS VERY SENSITIVE TO THE CULTURAL
DYNAMICS OF DIFFERENT AREAS. I HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ABOUT SPECIFIC EXPER AT THE SCENE TEASE. I KNOW THEY HAVE GOOD SPECIFIC EXPERTISE IN MAKING SURE THE VENDORS REPRESENT THE DISTRICTS THEY'RE ASSIGNED. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT CULTURAL
TRAINING WITHIN THE STRICTS. I'D HE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT ONE. WHAT IS THE ROLE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD DEPARTMENT STAFF IS PLAYING IN WITH REGARDS TO THAT. IS GREAT WE'RE RELYING ON OUR
TA PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE THEIR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE, BUT I THINK THAT'S ALSO A SCE WHERE STAFF SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHOW UP, UNLESS THERE'SES A COMPLETE DISCONNECT BETWEEN STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY AROUND, LIKE, OKAY. WE UNDERSTAND YOU'RE LOOKING AT TA. WE'RE OUT ON THE GROUND.
WE'RE OUT IN COMMUNITIES. WE'RE SPEAKING WITH COUNCILMEMBERS WHO ARE SAYING THESE ARE AREAS. THESE ARE TRENDS THAT WE'RE SEEING AMONGST DIFFERENT CULTURAL GROUPS. LIKE, TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THOSE. I GUESS THIS GOES BACK TOY ORIGINAL QUESTION OF THEN WHAT -- HOW STAFF IS PLAYING A
ROLE IN USING THEIR EXPERTISE TO COMPLIMENT THE EXPERTISE OF CURE VIOLENCE. YOU'RE CORRECT. THAT'S THE ROLE OF N TO HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS. TO BE MAKING SURE THAT THE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS ARE DOING IS IN
LINE WITH THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND VALUES AND THE CULTURAL NES OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS. THERE'S A LOT OF ABILITY FOR DOCUMENTATION AND FOR ADJUSTMENT. THE STAFF ALSO IS
MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TALKING TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THERE'S A GOOD FIT AND THE CONTRACTS WE HAVE WITH THE VENDORS ARE REFLECTIVE OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEED ARE IN THOSE AREAS. SO . >> THE ROLE HAS BEEN NSD STAFF
HAS BEEN OUT ACROSS THE CITY DOING ENGAGEMENT WITH COMMUNITIES DURING THE DELIBERATIONS OR, LIKE, TO MAKE RE THEY HAVE THAT LOCALIZED UNDERSTANDING OF CULTURAL DYNAMICS. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, THEY ARE TALKING -- THERE ARE NSD STAFF TALKING WITH COUNCILMEMBERS AND
COMMUNITY MEERS ABOUT THESE TOPICS. THE PROPOSED SELECTION OF VENDORS WAS DETERMINED -- OR THE PROPOSED SELECTION OF AREAS FOR THE MINNEAPOLUS CONTRACTS THAT CURE VIOLENCE ADVISED ON
WAS DATA DRIN. BASED OFF OF INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE.. >> I DEFINITELY GET THA POINT. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN STAFF TURNOVER IN THE DEPARTMENT, TOO. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE EXPERTISE AROUND THE
PROGRAMMATIC DETAILS. I HEAR CLEARLY YOU'RE ON WHEN IT COMES TO CONTRACTS. I THINK 80% OF THE PRESENTATION WAS AROUND THE CONTRACT PROVISION OFTEN WHERE WE DO NOT SEE -- AGAIN, THAT EXPERTI SHOW THROUGH ON NSD SIDE IS THOSE
PROGRAMMATIC DETAILS. HOW YOU'RE COMPLIMENTING YOUR LOCAL EXPERTISE AND UNDERSTANDING FM WHAT YOU'RE HEARING ON THE GROUND TO COMPLIMENT THE DATA THAT OUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS ARE PROVIDING. BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIVEERE. THEY DON'T GO HERE. YOU'RE PROVIDING -- THEY'RE TAKING
PROCEED SHEETS AND MAKING SENSE OF. AND YOU ACTUALLY ARE IN COMMUNITY AND TO BE ABLE TO RECK -- AGAIN, SAY, YEAH. DATA -- OUR UNDERSTANDING THIS INFLUENCES HOW WE'RE
ADMINISTERING SERVICES. THAT'S WHY I ASKED IF CURE VIOLENCE ISN'T PROVIDING THAT TYPE OF CULTURAL RESPONSIVE ANALYSIS, THEN WHO IS? TO NSD. OR WHO WOULD THEN NSD IS GIVING THAT EXPERTISE? SPHF ?
>> THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. LET ME FOLLOW UP IN A RESPONSE MEMO. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. >> OKAY. I THINK THAT' ACTUALLY ALL. OH, NO. ONE LAST QUESTION. SO I KNOW WITH GVI,
YGVI, THEY'RE EXPLICIT ABOUT THE ROLE IN WHICH THAT PROGRAM PLAYS IN REGARDS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. LAW ENFORCEMENT IT AT THE TABLE. CAN YOU SPELL OUT FOR THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL, AND VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION SERVICES, WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THAT PROGRAM AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AGAIN, GOING ON PAGE 9 OF THE RFP, THE ONLY THING THAT I SAW WAS POINT 7 THAT SAYS "DEVELOP STRATEGIES TO ENGAGE LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR TIMELY CRIME DATA AND ESTABLISH A WELL-BASED DATA BASE FORROGRAM ACTIVITIES." I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, AGAIN, YEAH, WHAT THAT
ROLE ENCAPTURES. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, ANOTHER VERY OD QUESTION. NSD STAFF WILL BE WORKING WITH CONNECTING THE VENDORS TO THE PRECINCTS AND TO THE DATA, AS APPROPRIATE, AS MAKES SENSE FOR THE DIFFERENT AREAS. SO EACH STRATEGY FOR WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
WILL BE DEVELOPED SPECIFIC TO THE DIFFERENT CULTURE WAS THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. AND THE DIFFERENT NEEDS OF THEIFFERENT AREAS. >> OKAY. THAT MIGHT BE ONE TO PLUG-IN FOR CURE VIOLENCE -- THAT'S WHY I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHAT CURE VIOLENCE PERSPECTIVE IS ON THIS. I KNOW THERE'S A
SENSITIVE LI. WE'VE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS. THERE'S A VERY FINE LINE WHERE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS, IF THEY'RE SEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH LAW ENFCEMENT, THEY CAN -- THAT PUTS THEM AND THEIR CREDIBILITY IN JEOPAY. WHERE IT'S LIKE "ARE YOU AN
INFORMANT?" ESSENTIALLY. SO BEING CLEAR. I KNOW SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED, THEYO HAVE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. I THINK ALL OF THEM DO BUT IN A DIFFERENT CAPACITY. BEING CLE OF HOW THIS MODEL RECOMMENDS THAT
RELATIONSHIP BEING ORGANIZED OR COORNATED. SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S A STAFF MEMO. FOLLOW UP ON THAT, AS WELL. I SEE VICE CHAIR PALMISANO IN QUEUE. >> MADAM CHAIR, I DON'T NEED TO
ASK THESE THINGS. WE'VE ALREADY HAD A LON DISCUSSION ON THIS. I HAVE A FOLLOW UP FROM COUNCILMEMBER VETAW'S QUESTION. THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE METE MERITS OF THIS CONTRACT AND THE MRF A -- RFP AND SELECTION
PROCESS. WHEN DO YOU AICIPATE WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE DATA THAT IS COMING? >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. THE CONTRACTS SHOULD START APRIL 1st. IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO TRAIN STAFF AND TO GET THEM TO START
USING IT. SO MID MAY WE SHOULD SEE SOME DATA. THEN WE CAN PROBABLY, BY THE SUMMER, EXPECT TO SEE SOME PUBLIC-FACING OPTIONS. >> THANK YOU. AND THEN I WOULD IMAGINE THAT DATA WOU GET BETTER OVER TIME, AS WE HAVE
MORE OF IT. I'LL JUST END WITH THIS QUESTION. YOU'VE TOUCH AROU THE EDGES OF THIS. LIKE, A LOT. BUT I'M CURIOUS. I'M WONDERING WHAT EXACTLY WE'LL NEED TO DO STILL TO RECEIVE THA FORMAL CERTIFICATION AS A CURE
VIOLENCE SITE. AND I BELIEVE THE CHAIR ASKED A VERY SIMILAR QUESTION, BUT DO WE -- DO YOU HAVE A GENERAL SENSE OF, LIKE, "HERE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO AND THE KIND OF LIFT IT'LL TAKE." >> CHAIR WONSLEY AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO, I DON'T
HAVE ALL THE DETAILS ON THAT. NOT EVEN ON A VAGUE LEVEL. I HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU IN THE RESPONSE MEMO. >> I JUST THOUGHT ON A HIGH LEVEL WE THINK IT'LL BE SIX MONTHS. BECAUSE -- BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL READ THROUGH ALL THE DETAILS TO LEARN AND
FIND OUT. >> THANK YOU. I SEE COUNCILMEMBER ELLISON IN QUEUE. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. NOT SO MUCH A QUESTION.BUT THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THIS IS HELPFUL FOR US TO UNDERSTAND WHEREE'RE GOING. I KNOW THAT
FROM THE DAIS, IT'S KIND OF FELT LIKE WE'RE NOT SURE WHERE WE'RE GOING. AND SO THIS ADDS A LITTLE BIT MORE CERTAINTY TO THAT. YOU KNOW, -- I DON'T SO MUCH HAVE A QSTION. MAYBE I'LL FIND ONE. BUT THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF OF BROKEN
RECORD. I'LL KIND OF KEEP SAYING IS THAT WE DO CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE WAYS IN WHICH WE'RE HOLDING PROVIDERS SORT OF, LIKE, ACCOUNTABLE. WHICH I THINK IS SORT OF A GIVEN. THAT HAS TO
HAPPEN IN EVERY SERVICE DELIVERY, YOU KNOW, SITUATION. BUT I ALSO -- BUT I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE'RE LEARNING THE WAYS IN WHICH THE DEPARTMENT AND US ARE MAKING SURE THAT OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE
SUPPORTIVE. BECAUSE IF FOLKS KIND OF FEEL WATCHED, IF THEY FEEL LIKE WE DON'T TRUST THEM, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING IT START -- I FEEL LIKE THAT LDS TO AN EROSION OF TRUST. IT LEADS TO BAD WORK. LEADS TO LOW MORE
REALMORALE. THOSE ARE THINGS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. AND DATA IS IMPORTANT. ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IS A GIVEN. TO COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY'S POINT, THE DATA ITSELF
DOES NOT SAVE ANY LIVES. RIGHT. I SEE MISS CONNIE IN THE CROWD. I'LL USE YOU AS AN EXAMPLE. MISS CONNIE MIGHT SAVE A LIFE ON THE STREET. SOMEBODY ON HER TEAM MIGHT DO THAT. AND TO ME,
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MISS CONNIE THINKS ABOUT THE PLATFORMS WE'RE ASKING HER AND HER TEAM TO USE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SCENARIOS TH FIND THEMSELVES IN. I WANT TO KNOW. AND I KNOW TRANSPARENCY IS IMPORTANT. CRITICALLY IORTANT. BUT IF WE'RE IN A SITUATION WHE
THERE'S A YOU YOUNG PERSON OR SOMEBODY BEINGNTERVENE ON STREET. THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY WANT TO GET RID OF A WEAPON. THEY WANT TO GET THEIR WEAPON OFF THE STREET. AND THEY WANT SOMEBODY IN MISS CONNIE'S TEAM TO HELP THEM DO THAT. THEY'RE GOING TO BE LESS LIKELY TO DO THAT, IF
THEY FEEL LIKE OR SUSPECT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE SUBCT TO NOW POLICE INVESTIGATIONS. AND KNEW ALL OF OF A SUDDEN, THE KEEP THAT GUN IN THEIR POSSESSION. THEY'RE LESS LIKELY TO COME FORWARD. THEY'RE LESS LIKELY TO ENGAGE WITH THE SERVICE. EVEN IF THEY'RE
SCARED. EVEN IF THEY WA TO. CERTAIN THINGS ARE A GIVEN. WE KNOW IF A GUN IS IN OUR POSSESSION. THEY'LL DO ALL THE THINGS. BUT IF SOMEBODY KWS THAT, LIKE, OKAY EVERY SINGLE TIME I TALK TO THEM. THERE'S
GOING TO BE AOG OF MY INTERACTION AND HOW PROTECTED IS TH LOG? AND HUE WILL PEOPLE SEE? HOW WILL PEOPLE ON THE STREET SEE THAT INTERPRETED, IF THEY EVER SEE THAT. RIGHT. AM I GOING TO BE SEEN AS A SNITCH? I THINK THESE THINGS ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE
THE SEICE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET GUNS OFF THE STREET. THAT WE CAN INTERRUPT CYCLES OF VIOLENCE. I GET WORRIED ABOUT THE WAYS IN WHICH -CAN AND THIS PROCEEDS -- THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH VIOLENCE PREVENTION FOR AWHILE NOW. I
THINK WE HAVE SORT OF BEEN DEMANDING A LOT OF, LIKE, JUST SORT OF THIS BUSY WORK. RIGHT. I THINK IF YOU DEMAND BUSY WORK, YOU'LL GET SORT OF JUS SHALLOW RESULTS. YOU'LL GET SHALLOW
DATA. BUT IF YOU VALUE THE SUBSTANCE OF THAT, WOO, THEN YOU'LL GET SUBSTANCE IN RETURN. AND SO I STRUGGLE I KNOW THE BALANCE OF THAT. BUT I KNOW, THAT, LIKE, ON THE EAR TEST. IT THE BUSY WORK AND HANDLING THAT.
AND LESS ABOUT HOW WE'RE SUPPORTING AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR PROVIDERS ARE LENDING US THEI EXPERTISE JUST AS MUCH AS WE'RE HOLDING THEM ACCNTABLE TO THEIR TIME AND THEIR, YEAH,
THEIR ACTIVITIES. TO LEAVE IT AT THAT. THERE'S NOT REALLY A QUESTION. I FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAY. AND THE LAST ING I WILL SAY IS, UMM, I THINK THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME CAPACITY IN WHICH THIS KIND OF INFORMATION
IS DELIVERED TO THE COUNCIL, LIKE, NOT ALWAYS JT ON THE DAIS. I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF A STUDY SESSION. HAVE SOMEOM GIVING US ANTIDOTAL STORIES. HELPING US UERSTAND, LIKE, HOW THEY'RE WE ARE INTERFACING WITH THE DATA. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND YOUR TEAM TO ASK
THE QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT TEDIOUS TO GIVE SOME INPUTS INTO SPECIFIC CORNERS THAT MIGHT NOT BE REGISTERING AS WE LOOK AT -- AS WE'RE LOOKING AT OVERALL DATA. OUR BROAD DATA. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. THAT WAY WE COME INTO COMMITTEE WITH LESS, LIKE, LESSONFUSION
AND ANGST AND MORE WITH, LIKE, "OKAY, WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE MOVING TOGETHE" I DON'T KNOW IF MY COLLEAGUES WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THOSE KINDS OF, LIKE, LESS STRUCTURED, LESS
PERFORMANCE-BASED CONVERSATIONS. >> YEAH. >> OH, NO. SORRY. THOSE ARE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.. >> NO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> I LOVE YOUR INPUT, THOUGH. [ LAUGHTER ] >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER ELLISON. AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH
AND SAFETY COMMITTEE, WE DID DO A CONVENING. WELL, LAST AUGUST AROUND THIS. SO WOULD LOVE TO WORK WH DE DEPUTY DIRECT DEPUTY DIRECTOR LAKES AND PHS CHAIR CHAVEZ TO SEE HOW WE CAN DO A ROUNDTABLEISCUSSION.
DO LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR, HAVE THE PROVIDERS COME AND LEND THEIR EXPERTISE. IT'S MORE LISTENING, LIKE YOU HIGHLIGHTED. AND, YEAH. I'M MORE THAN HPY TO COLLABORATE IN MAKING THAT HAPPEN. THAT SAID, I DO SEE COUNCILMEMBER VETAW IN QUEUE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR WONSLEY. THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER
ELLISON. I THINK YOU BROUGHT UP SOME GOOD CONCERNS. I THI WHEN I LOOK AT THE DATA THEY'VE SHOWN, LIKE, REDUCTION IN THEY FIGUD IT OUT SOMEHOW. I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS. N NECESSARILY ON THE DAIS. I THINK THERE'S AT LO OF THINGS THAT GO ON IN THIS WORK THAT SHOULDN IN A
PRESENTATION THAT CURE VIOLENCE COULD PROBABLY TELL US HAPPENS. AND THAT'S HOW YOU SEE THAT HUGE REDUCTION IN VIOLENCE. IT MAY NOT BE CAPTURED ON THE APP BUT THERE'S OTHER WAYS THAT FOLKS ARE CAPTURING IT. I HAVE ONE
QUESTION, THOUGH I WANT TO KNOW HOW OFTEN YOU'RE MEETING WITH CURE VIOLENCE. LIKE, HOW OFTEN ARE YOU MEETI WITH THEM RIGHT NOW? TO KIND OF COME UP WITH THIS PLAN? AND HOW OFTEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE MEETING FOR THIS THREE-YEAR CONTRACT? >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER
VETAW. ONCE WE STARTED DRAFTING THE RFP, THE MEETINGS WERE ON AN AD HOC BASIS. AND RFP FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS STRATEGIC OUTREACH FOR THE SELECTION OF VENDORS FOR THE NEXT ITERATION OF CONTRACTS. DURING THIS NEGOTIATION PROCESS, WHERE WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT
THE CTRACTS ALIGN WITH THE MODEL, WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL ONCE A WEEK. I WANT TO THE SAY SOMETIME IN JANUARY OF THAT SORT. AND HAVE BEEN REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. BECAUSE WE DO HAVE AT LOT OF QUESTIONS. AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE FOLLOW THE
MODEL TO FIDELITY. AND SO MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE A DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL THAT WILL BE WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND THE VENDORS. Q. AND HE'S AVAILABLE WITH AS NEEDED BUT
ALSO BASED ON THE TIMELINE IN THE CURE VIOLENCE BUDGET TABLE. I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE. >> YEAH. THAT BUDGET TABLE WOULD BE GREAT. I'M ALS-- I GUESS I'M MAYBE ASKING IF WE FORESEE, LIKE, CHANGES INHIS CONTRACT AMOUNT. OR DO WE REALLY THINK THATHIS AMOUNT
WILL COVER THE TIME WE NEED FOR THESE SERVICES OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. >> SO THERE SHOULD BE NO CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT AMOUNT. UNLESS THERE'S AN INCREASE IN SITE VISITS OR SERVICES. BUT BASED ON WHAT IS OUTLINED IN THE RFP, WE WERE EXPLICIT WE WANTED THE
COST FOR A THREE-YEAR PERIOD IN ORDER TO MAKE A COMPETITIVE. TT OUR COSTS WILL BE UPFRONT. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMBER VETAW. I SEE COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT -- NO, OKAY. ALL
RIGHT. I HAVE A QUICK FOLLOW UP WITH REGARD TO CURE VIOLENCE RECOMMENDATIONS. IT'S COME UP AS WE TALK ABOUT, CONSIDERING THE INTERRUPTER CONTRACT SEPARATELY, TOO. HAT IS THEIR APPROACH. LET'S SAY THE DATA SHOWS THE SERVICES ARE WORKING.
AND I GET YOU HAVE A CERTAIN OR A LIMITED POOL OF RESOURCES, AND THEN YOU REMOVE THAT CONTRACT AND E A SPIKE. SO WHAT IS THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS AROUNDJUS BECAUSE I THINK THAT ALSO UNDERMINES THE BASIS OF THE
MODEL. IT'S LIKE, YES, WE WANT TO STABILIZE. AND NOT JUST HAVE SPIKES. BECAUSE YOU GOT SOMETHING GOOD HERE. AND THEN MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO I WANTED TO, ALSO, GET A SENSE OF WHAT THEIR RECOMMEATIONS WERE ON THAT. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, THAT'SN EXCELLENT QUESTION AND AGE-OLD
PUBLIC HEALTH QUESTION. SOMETHING IS WORKING AND WE TAKE SOURCES AWAY AND THERE ARE SPIKES. CURE VIOLENCE GLOBAL HAS BEEN VY CLEAR THAT THAT IS DANGEROUS AND THEY DO NOT RECOMMEND ALWAY TAKING AWAY RESOURCES WHERE THINGS ARE
WORKING. IT IS A HARD BALANCE WHEN YOU HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES. AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST CASE OF WHAT TO DO WITH THEM. I THINK THEY WOULD -- YEAH. JUST THAT IS A HARD
THING. AND THEY ARE VERY COGNIZANT OF THAT RISK. THEY'RE COGNIZANT AND HAVE ADVISED US, WHEN WE PUT IN VIOLENCE INTEUPTERS IN AREAS WHERE THEY WEREN'T BEFORE, TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO WHERE THINGS SPREWAY FROM THERE. AND MAKING SURE WE'RE BEING CAREFUL
ABOUT KEEP OUR SURVEILLANCE RESPONSIVE TO THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS. SO -- >> OKAY. THANK YOU. NEXT COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU. I WANTED TO CONFIRM YOU ASKED FOR THE STAFF MEMO FOLLOW UP ON T QUESTION OF COM STAFF IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
SAFETY DEPARTMENT WILL BE PROVIDING TO BE RESPONSESSIVE FOR THE VENDORS AND CURE VIOLENCE. THAT INTERFACE. IF I
CAN ADD A QUESTION. I KNOW THERE'S A VACANT POSITION IN NSD THAT WILL BE A PROGR MANAGER. SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE REMINDED, IF YOU KNOW NOW OR IN STAFF MEMO WHAT THE HIRING DATE AND THE PLAN FOR HIRING THAT POSITION I THINK IT'S IMPORTANTE HAVE SOMEONE ON STAFF. WHO IS PREPARED TO BE THIS INTERFACE.
BETWEEN THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDER AND THE VENDORS ON THE GROUND. >> CHAIR WSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE ARE DOING INTERVIEWS FOR THAT THSDAY AND FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK. BUT IF YOU WANT PUT IT IN THE MEMO, I CAN GIVE YOU A HIRE DATE.
>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. HAVING THE HIRI DATE IN WRITING SO WE COULD BE SURE EVERYBODY IS AWARE THAT POSITION IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FILLED. YEAH. SO THAT, I GUESS I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THIS AND SEND IT TO THE FULL COUNCIL NEXT WEEK. >> OKAY. THERE'S BEEN A MOTIO
TO APPROVE THESE ITEMS. I WILL SECOND THAT. SOITH THAT, I WILL ASK THE CLERKS TO DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. THANK YOU, DEPUTY
LAKES, ALSO, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. >> COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> AYE. >> ELLISON. >> AYE. >> CASHMAN. >> AYE. >> CHUGHTAI. >> AYE. >> VICE CHAIR PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> AND CHAIR WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE SIX AYES. >> ALL RIGHT. SO THAT MOTION
CARRIES. NEXT UP WE HAVE THE DISCUSSION ITEM 23, WHICHS THE CONTRACTS WITH MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS F 2025 MINNEAPOLUS SERVICES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING BASED OFF THE E-MAIL FROM THE OFFICE OF
COMMUNITY SAFETY STAFF THIS MORNING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THIS -- WELL, THIS ITEM TO PULLED WITH THE GOAL OF RESUBMITTING IT TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLEOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION AND THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE ON MARCH 25th.
THAT'S A TUESDAY. STHAT SAID, I WILL INVITE GAR JARRED JEFFREYS TO COME UP AND SPEAK MORE TO THIS ITEM AND REQUEST.>E
CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE OFFICE OF COMMITY SAFETY. I'M HERE TO SPEAK BRIEFLY FROM THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY TO WITHDRAWAL THE 2025 MINNEAPOLUS STRATEGIC OUTREACH INITIATIVE CONTRACTS FROM TODAY'S AEO AGEND WE'RE REQUESTING THAT RCA AT THIS MEETING BE PULLED SO WE CAN SUIT AN RCA FOR THE MARCH
25th COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING. AS CHAIR WONSLEY SAID. WITH THE TOP FIVE SCORING PROPOSALS. THIS WOULD NOT INCLUDE THE SIX SCORING CONTRACT ORIGINALLY IN THE RCA SALEMNC. WE ARE REQUESTING THIS BECAUSE WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD THE TOP FIVE SCORING PROPOSALS AT THE
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE THIS CYCLE TO ENSURE NO GAP IN SERVICE. WE ARE REVIEWING EVENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE RCP SCORING SO WE'LL NOT BE REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR SALEM INC. AT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ON MARCH 25th. I CAN'T SAY
MORE OR ANSWER QUESTIONS AT THE TIME AS THE DATA IT IS NOT PUBLIC. THERE WILL BE A DETAILED PRESENTATION ON THE RFP AND TOP FIVE CONTRACTS AT THE MARCH 25th COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TO ADDRESS THIS TOPIC. >> THANK YOU, JARED JEFFREYS. I
DO KNOW, FIRST, THAT COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN, YOU HAD INTENDED TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM. SO -- BUT, YEAH. REFER TO YOU. >> YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND ANYONE CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION. AS I RECOGNIZE, AGAIN, RESIDENTS OF CEDAR RIVER SID
ELLIOT PARK, AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AT THE WEST BANK ARE HERE IN ATTENDANCE. WE HAVE LEARNED RECENTLY THAT VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS WAS REMOVED FROM CITY RIVER SIDE. AUT FOUR AND
A HALF YEARS AGO, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE SERVICES HERE. AND TH HAD BEEN ACTIVELY WORKING AT THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE SEEN THE CHANGE. WE HAVE SEEN THE DATA. WE HAVE SEEN GREAT THINGS FROM LOCAL IPECTORS, THE CHIEF, AND EVERYONE TALKING
ABOUT ESPECIALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THE COMMUNITY BUSINESSES THAT THE -- THAT IMPORTANCE EFFECT IT HADN THE COMMUNITIES. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT SPECIFIC FACTORS INFLUENCE IT THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION TO REMOVE THIS SERVICES FROM
VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS FROM CITY RIVER SIDE. THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, CNCILMEMBER OSMAN. I CANNOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION TODAY. BUT A LOT OF THAT HE INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE MARCH 25th COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING. >> I -- >> DEPUTY DIRECTOR LAKES IS
ALSO STILL HERE. AND THEY JUST PRESENTED ON THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN INVITE YOU. IN CASE THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE. >> WELCO DIRECTOR LAKES TO COME UP. MY UNDERSTANDING WE WERE PREPARED TO PRESENT ON THIS AT THE MARCH 25th COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING. >> WELL WITHIN THE COMMUNITY , THE COMMUNITY DON'T HAVE
THE TIME TO WAIT AROUND. THEY'RE SITTING RIGHT HERE. THEY WANT TO KNOW WHY CITY RIVER SIDE THE PROGRAMS ARE BEING REMOVED. I HAVE MET DIRECTOR LAKES IN PRIVATE MEETING. AND I WOULD LIKE THAT QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED PUBLICLY. THANK YOU.
>> DIRECTOR LAKES -- YEAH. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. THE MINNEAPOLUS CONTRACT, WHICH WILL BE TALKED ABOUAT THE NEXT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, USED CURE VIOLENCE
GLOBAL'S EXPERTISE TO IDENTIFY EIGHT ZONES FOR INTERRUPTER SERVICES TO BE HELD IN. THEY USED FIVE YEARS OF VIOLENCE D DATA, WHICH I CAN SPEAK MORE TO IN MORE DETAIL. BUT THATAS
HOW THEY DEVELOPED THOSE EIGHT REGIONS. >> AND DOES THAT MEAN THIS SPECIFIC REGION IS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, THE WEST BANK, CITY RIVER SIDE AREA, IS IT SHOWING THERE LESS VIOLENCE THAT WE DON'T NEED THE PROGRAM?
>> CHAI WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. IT INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT THE TOP EIGHT AREAS OF VIOLENCE. >> DO WE KNOW HOW -- WELL, I
KNOW HOW THIS PROGRAM HAS HELPED THE CRIMES COME DOWN EVER SINCE 2020-2021, ENND THIS PROGRAM HAS WORKED. DOES IT REALLY MAKE IT SENSE FOR CURE VIOLCE OR THE ADMINISTRATION
TO MAKE A DECISION TO REMOVE WHAT'S WORKING? >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. IT IS ABOUT THEATA
THAT WE DO HAVE, AND THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE TO MEET THE NEEDS. >> I'M SORRY. S IT THE RESOURCES OR THE DATA? WHICH ONE IS IT? >> THE DATAUGGESTS WE HAVE EIGHT ZONES. AND THE RESOURCES
THAT WE HAVE INCLUDE BEING ABLE FILL SIX OF THE EIGHT ZONES. IF THERE WERE MORE RESOURCES, MAYBE WE COULD EXPAND MORE ZONES. BUT THE REASON THAT THOSE EIGHT AREAS WERE CHOSEN WAS NOT BECAUSE RIVER -- CEDAR
RIVER SIDE DOESN'T NEED THE SERVICES AND THE SERVICES AREN'T HELPFUL. BUT THEY WEREN'T THE TOP EIGHT AREAS, BASED OFF OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE. >> THANK YOU. I BELIEVE IT'S COMMON SENSE WHY THEY ARE NOT
TOP EIGHT. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM THAT EXISTED FOUR AND A HALF YEARS HAS WORKED. WE SEEN IT. WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INCREASING AND KEEPING WHAT'S WORKING. NOT REVERSING AND
REDOING THE GREAT WORK WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. I SEE THAT AS ST A, IN MY OPINION, A FAILURE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS WORKING. NOT JUST GOING WHERE THE DATA IS.
INTERVIEWING THE BUSINESS COMMUNITIES, TALKING TO THE RESIDES THAT SAY "YES, THIS PROGRAM HAS WORKED." IN MY OPINION, IT SHOWS LACK OF DISCONNECT FROM THE COMMUNITY. LACK OF NOT LISTENING TO THE
COUNCILMEMBERS THAT REPRESENT THE AREA THAT IS SAYING IT'S A WONDERFUL WE FINALLY BROUGHT THIS PROGRAM. THERE WAS A PROGRAM WE BROUGHT THE PROGRAM. IF YOU GO BACK. WE HAD VIOLENCE IN THIS AREA. WE HAD, YOU KNOW, OVERDOSES. WE HAD A EPIDEMIC,
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, THAT'S LET'S JUST SAY HOW S CEDAR RIVER SIDED CONTINUED IN THAT AREA. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF IMPACT IT WILL HAVE REMOVING
THIS VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS FROM CEDAR RIVER SIDE. I WOULD THINK YOU CAN GO BACK AND ANSWER TO THE COMMUNITY. AND REALLY MAKE SENSE THAT WE'RE REMOVING SOMETHING THAT WORKED. I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN FIND SOME
KIND OF GROUND BEFORE THE 25 TO RESUME THE SERVICES THAT CEDAR RIVER SIDE. BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, IN MY IMAGINE, WE'RE GOING TO BACK HOW THINGS WERE ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
IT'S JUST COMMON SENSE. ONE LAST POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS THAT NOW WE KNOW THAT CEDAR RIVER SIDE IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE HAVING SERVICES. ALSO, COULD
YOU PLEASE TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS LIKE ELLIOT PARK AND STEPHENS SQUARE AND WHAT STATUSES ARE THOSE ARE.
DO THEY INCLUDE THE EIGHT SECTIONS SERVICES? WOULD THEY HAVE SERVICES? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT AND RESIDENTS THAT AR THAT WOULD BE MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, COUNCILMEMBER
OSMAN. I DON'T KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD IF THAT IS ONE OF THE EIGHT. LET ME GET BACK TO YOU. >> SOUNDS LIKE A STAFF MEMO QUESTION THEN. YEAH. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, TOO.
SO STARTING JARED JEFFREYS. YOU MENTIONED THE REQUEST TO PULL THIS ITEM, WHICH MAKE THE MOTION AFTER DISCUSSION AS RELATED TO YOU ALL EVALUATING TWEEN THE RFP SCORING TIMELINE
AND I THINK YOU SAID. CAN YOU RESTATE THAT PIECE? >> YES. WE WERE REVIEWING EVTS THAT OCCURRED SINCE THE RFP SCORING. SO WE WILL NOT BE THE REQUESTING APPROVE FOR SALEM INC. AT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ON MARCH 25th. >> A OKAY. AND THE RFP SCORING HAPPENED AWHILE BACK, CORRECT? OKAY. AND THE REASON
WHY I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE I KNOW A NUMBER OF US RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS CONTRACT ALL LAST WEEK OR DEFINITELY ON FRIDAY WH IT BECAME PUBLIC. AND WE WERE INFORMED IN E-MAILS WITH THE COMMISSIONER THAT YOU ALL WERE PROCEEDING WITH THE THE
CONTRACT. I IT SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE BIT WRD BETWEEN FRIDAY AND NOW THERE'S THE REQUEST TO PULL WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ALL WERE CERTA. SO JUST WANTED TO GET A SENSE OF, LIKE, YOU NAMEDDED A BROADER TIMELINE. DID SOMETHING SHIFT BETWEEN TWO DAYS AGO?
>> I'LL HAVE TO STICK TO MY IGINAL STATEMENT. I CAN'T SAY MUCH MORE. >> OKAY. AND FOR THE SIXTH CONTRACT YOU'RE LOOKING TO CAN YOU SHARE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT. I KNOW AT LEAST WITH OUR RESCUE, THERE WAS A RESOLICITATION PROCESS. AS
IT'S BE P HIG BEEN HIGHLIGHTED. PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THE RESOURCES ON THE STREETS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THIS CONTRACT NOW? >> CHAIR WONSLEY, AGAIN, UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO STICK TO MY STATEMENT. WE'RE REVIEWING THE EVENTS TO THE RFP. >> OKAY. SO WE HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THE SIXTH CONTRACT OR A PROCESS FOR THAT. AND THEN, ACTUALLY, DEPUTY LEAH LAKES, I HAD A FOLLOW UP BASED OFF OUR RESPONSE THAT YOU NAMED. IT
CAME UP. HAVE YOU FINALIZED YOUR BUDGETS AROUND THE VIOLENCE PREVENTION FUNDING. THIS WAS AE DELIBERATIONS AROUND, AGAIN, HOW ARE YOU ALL USING DATA TO REALLY ASSESS PROGRAMMATICALLY WHAT IS
WARRANTED RESOURCES BASED OFF OF SAFETY TRENDS OR CURRENT TNDS. AND IT SEEMS THAT -- YEAH. LIKE, HOW DID YOU RELATE RESOURCE ALLOCATION AROUND MINNEAPOLUS TO THESE OTHER OUTSTANDING PROGRAMS THAT I
DOT ALSO RECALL HAVING A LINE BUDGET ITEM. BUT I'M ASSUMING, ALSO, YOU WILL BE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. >> CHAIR WONSLEY, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I NEED TO FOLLOW UP IN A RESPONSE MEMO TO GET ALL THE DETAILS. BUT I'M ALSO VERY
HAPPY TO HAVE MORE IN-DEPTH CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE BUDGET THAT WE DO HAVE. AT ANY TIME. >> YEAH. I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL, AGAIN, JUST KNOWING HOW IS BUDGET -- I MEAN, THAT'S BEEN OUTSTANDING QUESTION AROUND, LIKE, WITH GVI, YGVI, SAYING RESOURCES WERE NEEDED THERE.
ABSOLUTE. AND SAME HERE. AND THINKING THROUGH IF THERE'S HARD DECISIONS BEING MADE AROUND, LIKE, OKAY ARE THERE SOME OTHER PROGRAMS TO REALLY HELP WHERE WE'RE SEEING LIMITED DATA. WHERE WE'RE SEEING GOOD OUTCOMES. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE OTHER
SERVICES, WE'RE I THE EARLY PROCESS OF GATHERING DATA AROUND HOW EFFECTIVE OR PROGRAMTIC OUTCOMES ARE TIED TO THE COMMUNITY TRAUMA RESPONSE FUNDING AND THE VLENCE PREVENTION FUNDING. SO -- YEAH. THAT WOULD BE A STAFF MEMO FOLLOW UP QUESTION, TOO. AND THEN I DO SEE COUNCILMEMBER

50% LESS THAN WE WERE LAST YEAR. WE HAVE A LOT OF EARMARKS AND WE HAVE A LOT OF CONTRACTS. A LOT OF MONEY WE HAVE BUDGETED IS KIND OF ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR. IT'S ALREADY SPOKEN FOR. AND THE MONEY THAT WE PUT TOWARDS
THE MINNEAPOLUS CONTRACTS, FOR THOSE EIGHT SITES, WE HAVE TWO ALTERNATE SITES. BUT THAT WE HAVE FUNDING FOR SIX SITES. >> RIGHT. OKAY. I UNDERSTAND. DUE TO BUDGET CUTS, YOU DROPPED TWO. IF YOU HAD 50% MORE THAN,
LIKE, WHAT YOU HAD LAST YEAR, YOU PROBABLY COULD HAVE GOTTEN ALL EIGHT, IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME. THANK YOU FOR THAT. MR. JEFFREYS, ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO TALK TOS ON THE 25th ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED
