BUDGET COMMITTEE JULY 13TH, 2026 1:30 PM TO 3:30 PM CST. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, I'M ELIZABETH SHAFFER AND I'M THE VICE-CHAIR OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE. I'M GOING TO CALL TO
ORDER OUR REGULAR MEETING FOR MONDAY, JULY THEY ARE NOTTH, 2026. BEFORE WE BEGIN THE MEETING I WANT TO OFFER A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS, STAFF AND THE PUBLIC THAT THESE MEETINGS ARE BROADCAST LIVE TO ENABLE GREATER PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. THESE BROADCASTS
INCLUDE REALTIME CAPTIONING AS A FURTHER METHOD TO INCREASE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR PROCEEDINGS TO THE COMMUNITY, THEREFORE, ALL SPEAKERS NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THE RATE OF THE SPEECH SO THAT OUR CAPTIONERS CAN FULLY CAPTURE AND TRANSCRIBE ALL COMMENTS FOR THE BROADCAST. WE ASK ALL SPEAKERS TO MODERATE THE SPEED AND CLARITY
OF THEIR COMMENTS. AT THIS TIME, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL, TO VERIFY THE PRESENCE OF A QUORUM.
(ROLL CALL.) >> THAT ERE IS 9 MEMBERS PRESEN >> LET THE RECORD REFLECT WE HAVE A QUORUM. I'LL ALSO REMIND COLLEAGUES THAT WE ARE USING
SPEAKER MANAGEMENT SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SIGN IN. OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE -- OR ONLY ITEM ON OUR AGENDA TODAY IS A DISCUSSION AROUND THE BYRNE DISCRETIONARY GRANT FUNDING GRANTS PROGRAM FOR THE EVALUATION OF PROBLEM NATURE
CODES. I WILL INVITE WILL CHRIST CHRISTIANSON HE IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION TO BEGIN THE PRESENTATION FROM OFFICE OF COMMUNITYSAFETY, THANK YOU DIRECTOR CHRISTIANSON.
>> THANK YOU, AND GOOD AFTERNOON COUNCIL MEMBERS I'M WILL CHRIST CHRISTIANSON WITH THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. TODAY I WILL BRIEF YOU ON OUR BYRNE GRANT WORK SPECIFICALLY RESEARCH AND PILOTS TO EXPAND ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE THAT KEEP RESIDENTS
SAFE AND ENSURE EACH 911 CALL GETS THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. THIS EFFORT REALLY FOCUSES ON DIVERTING APPROPRIATE 911 CALLS AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL POLICE RESPONSE. TO CIVILIAN
RESPONSES. IMPROVING SERVICE QUALITY, RESPONSE TIMES AND REDUCING OFFICER WORKLOAD. SO THIS IS ALSO WORK THAT SUPPORTS RECOMMENDATIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE NYU ASSET AND GAPS ANALYSIS AS WELL. SO WE'RE
EXCITED TO MOVE THAT WORK FORWARD. I WILL COVER SOME BACKGROUND : SCOPE, DELIVERABLES AND AND THE TWO PILOT PROGRAMS THAT THIS GRANT
FUNDS. FIRST A QUICK LOOK HOW WE GOT HERE. THE CITY RECEIVED THE ORIGINAL AWARD IN 2023. HOWEVER, THE ORIGINAL SCOPE WAS NOT APPROVED BY DOJ SO OCS
PARTNERED WITH PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION TO REDESIGN THE GRANT. DOJ APPROVED THE NEW SCOPE AND -- IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND COUNCIL APPROVED SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENTS IN DECEMBER OF 2025. THESE
SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENTS WERE FOR THE ACADEMIC PARTNERS THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AND NYU POLICING PROJECT. THEY'LL BE DOING RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYSIS FOR THE GRANT.
AS I MENTIONED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AND NYU POLICING PROJECT, WE WILL BE ANALYZING 911-PROBLEM NATURE CODES TO IDENTIFY CALL TYPES THAT CAN BE SAFELY DIVERTED FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT TO A CIVILIAN
RESPONSE. PILOTS BEING LAUNCHED INCLUDE NONINJURY TRAFFIC COLLISION RESPONSE, SHIFTING SELECT RESPONSES FROM MPD TO TRAFFIC CONTROL, A JUVENILE
DEFLECTION PROGRAM CONNECTING RISK YOUTH TO SERVICES. AND THEN A PROJECT COORDINATOR THAT WILL EVALUATE PILOTS, TRACK METRICS AND KEEP PROJECTS ON SCHEDULE. SO LET ME GO INTO THE FIRST PILOT PROGRAM FIRST -- THE
TRAFFIC PILOT. THE PURPOSE OF THAT THIS PILOT PROGRAM IS TO DELIVER FASTER, CUSTOMER-FOCUSED RESPONSE FOR MINOR TRAFFIC COLLISIONS WHILE REDUCING MPD
WORKLOAD. THIS PILOT IS BUILT ON LESSONS FROM WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA AND THEIR CIVILIAN CRASH INVESTIGATOR PROGRAM. IT'S BEEN ADAPTED FOR MINNEAPOLIS. WE'LL BE USING LOCAL COLLISION DATA TO TARGET
NONINJURY NONHAZARD INCIDENTS SUITABLE FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL TO RESPOND TO. OUR EXPECTED EXPECTATION FROM THIS PILOT ARE FASTER CLEARANCE, LESS DUPLICATION OF WORK, BETTER RESIDENT EXPERIENCES AND MORE MPD
BANDWIDTH FOR PRIORITY CALLS. THE OTHER PILOT PROGRAM FUNDED IN THIS GRANT WILL BE A JUVENILE DEFLECTION PROGRAM. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO IDENTIFY AT-RISK YOUTH EARLY AND
CONNECT THEM TO SUPPORTS THAT ADDRESS ROOT CAUSES. REALLY KEEPING THEM OUT OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. TWO GUIDING PILLARS OF WORK ARE EARLY INTERVENTION SO IDENTIFYING REFERRALS THROUGH SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS,
FAMILIES FOR THOSE APPROPRIATE CALL TYPES. OFF-STREAM SERVICES LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL RESOURCES AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT. AND AGAIN, THE INTENT WITH THIS PROGRAM TO
STRENGTHEN TRUST, REDUCE JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT FOR YOUTH AND CONNECT FAMILIES TO STABLIZING RESOURCES AS WELL. AGAIN, THESE PILOTS WILL BE DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND
INNOVATION. AT THIS TIME, I'LL PAUSE AND AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CHRISTIANSON. I'D LIKE TO MENTION AT THIS MOMENT THAT WE HAVE BEEN JOINED IN OUR COMMITTEE MEETING BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY AND COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN. THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US. I SEE COUNCIL MEMBE -- WARREN, SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU SNEAK IN AT THE END. COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY? >> THANK YOU, VICE-CHAIR SHAFFER. I'M SO EXCITED TO
ACTUALLY SEE THIS PRESENTATION. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SHARE KUDOS TO MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. I'M THINKING COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ AS WELL AS
COUNCIL MEMBER S COWDERY, CHUGHTAI ALSO VICE PRESIDENT OSMANERE AS WELL AS PSIDENT PAYNE. 'VE SPENT 4.5 YEARS DOING A LOT OF WORK TO CHAMPION NON-ARMED SAFETY SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AND I THINK OFTENTIMES
WHEN WE'RE HEARING DISCOURSE AND DISCUSSION AND MEDIA REPORTS ABOUT MINNEAPOLIS EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE LOWEST LEVELS OF VIOLENCE THAT IT HAS EVER HAD OFTENTIMES THE FACE OF THAT IS MPD AND THAT CANNOT BE FURTHER
FROM THE TRUTH. IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN SUPPLEMENTED WITH SO MANY ROBUST NONARMED OR NONMPD SAFETY SERVICES THAT ARE OUT IN OUR COMMUNITIES FROM VIOLENCE INTERINTERRUPTERS CRISIS RESPONSE TEAMS -- THOSE FOLKS ARE OUT THERE EVERY SINGLE DAY
ALSO INTERRUPTING, MITIGATING INCIDENTS FROM OCCURRING AND THAT'S BECAUSE THIS BODY SPECIFICALLY A NUMBER OF COUNCIL MEMBER BELIEVED IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS WORK AND WE'VE FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL OFTENTIMES IN SPITE OF THE
PUSH-BACK FROM THE FRY ADMINISTRATION TO MOVE DLARS. >> STAY ON TOPIC. >> THIS ISN TOPIC DO NOT INTERRUPT ME. >> I'M SORRY COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY -- COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY -- VICE-CHAIR SHAFFER
I'M REMAININGER MAIN ON TOPIC -- >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE POINT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE POINT TO ADDRESS THE ADMINISTRATION WHEN THEY'RE NOT HERE. >> THAT IS NOT A REAL POLICY, VICE-CHAIR SHAFFER. PLEASE DO NOT INTERRUPT WHILE I'M SAYING ON TOPIC ON THIS THIS IS SO
NECESSARY. >> I WANT TO MENTION -- I KNOW YOU RE NOT AT OUR EXTREMIC DIRECTIONS BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MENTIONED >> STRATEGIC PLANNING YOU ARE CREATING A UNNECESSARY DETOUR TO MY CONVERSATION. I WLD LIKE TO PROCEED. WITH THAT SAID WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF WORK THE
PAST 4 YEARS ON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OR THESE PAS WORK AND INITIATIVES. THAT SAID, I DO KNOW AT THE LEADERSHIP OF CHAIR JASO CHAVEZ AND WHEN I WAS ALSO VICE-CHAIR ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY WE REQUESTEA
PRESENTATION OR THESE PILOTS BECAUSE IN 2025 WE DEVOTED $500,000 TOWARDS SUPPORTING THE GAPS AND ANALYSIS REPORTS INITIATIVE THAT SAID 47% OF MPD CALLS COULD BE REROUTED TO NONARMED SAFETY SERVICES.
SO I AT LEAST END WITH THE PRESENTATION WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT $500,000. I BELIEVE IT WAS RELEGATED AT THAT TIME TO PMI TO HELP DO THE DESIGN AND ELEMENT BUT IN THAT PRESENTATION FROM MARCH OF 2023, IT NOTED THE
ORIGINAL RECEIVING B, OF THAT AMBUSH GRANT FOR A NUMBER OF PILOTS AND THIS IS THE SECOND QUESTION I WANT TO KNOW WHY DID IT FAKE 2 YEARS TO DO THE MODIFICATION PROCESS BECAUSE IN THAT TIME OF MARCH 2023T WAS NOTED THOSE FUNDS HAD ALREADY
BEEN APPROVED? SO TWO THINGS I WOULD LOVE WHAT HAS BEEN THE STATUS WITH THE $500,000 THAT WENT TOWARDS DEVELOPING AND SUPPORTING INITIATIVES ON LIKE WHAT YOU'RE PRESENTING TODAY? AND THEN SECONDARILY WHAT LED TO THE TWO-YEAR DELAY BETWEEN YOUR
ORIGINAL NOTATION OF RECEIVING THESE FUNDS AND THE NEEDING TO RESUBMIT MODIFICATIONS FOR THE SCOPE? >> OPERATOR: CHAIR SHAFF, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, FOR THE $500,000 I'LL HAVE TO CONSULT MY
COLLEAGUES FOR THAT. IF IT WASN'T FOR PLANNING PURPOSES FOR THIS -- ACCEPTING THIS GRANT AND UNDERTAKING THESE PILOT PROGRAMS, THERE H BEEN A GREAT DEAL OF WORK IN DOING THAT PLANNING WORK, WHETHER IT'S SE VISITS TO WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, REALLY BUILDING
OUT WHAT THESE PILOTS WILL LOOK LIKE SO WHEN WE RECEIVE THE GRAB THE MONEY WE CAN IMPLEMENT THEM QUICKLY. IN TERMS OF T DELAY, IT HAS BEEN QUITE A DELAY. I THINK, YOU KNOW -- I WANT TO PROVIDE A COUPLE REASONS FOR
THAT. THE INITIAL EARMARK WAS GIVEN TO THE OFFICE OF PERFORMANCE AND INNOVATION IN IT 2023. SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL STAFFING AND LEADERSHIP CHANGES WITHIN THE CITY. WHEN THE NEW DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND
INNOVATION WAS CREATED, THEY HAD TO RECEIVE APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD SUBMITTING PILOTS IN THIS RESEARCH SO BETWEEN THOSE CHANGES, THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO KIND OF SUBMIT ANOTHER REQUEST TO RECEIVE THE MONEY. THEN THE GRANT WAS MY GOODNESS TO THE
OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY AND THEN WITH WORKING RECENTLY ON THIS, WE'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH SOME DOJ PROCESSES WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN EXTENSIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCESSES TO GET APPROVAL. WHETHER IT'S INDEPENDENT RESEARCH INTEGRITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE DOJ OR CONFLICT OF INTERESTS FORUMS AS WELL AND
THERE'S A LOT OF HOOPS TO JUMP THROUGH AND ALONG WITH THAT A LO OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE. >> SO FOR CLARIFICATION, ARE YOU SAYING THAT $500,000 WHEN IT WAS SHIFTED FROM PMI OVER TO OCS, THOSE DOLLARS WERE SPENT DOWN THEN IN THE DEVELOPMENT -- I'M TRYING TO GET CLARITY AGAIN WHAT
HAPPENED THERE? >> COUNCIL MEMBER, CHAIR SHAFFER, COUNCILEMBER WONSLEY, I'LL HAVE TO FOLLOW UP TO GET CLARIFICATION ON THAT. AND JUST GET THE DETAILS AROUND HOW THAT -- THAT FUNDING WAS SPENT. >> OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
A STAFF MEMO FOR FOLLOW-UP ON THAT. A FOLLOW-UP ON WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE$500,000 APPROPRIATION THAT COUNCIL MADE REGARDIN THELTERNATIVE SAFETY SERVICES PILOTS ONCE IT WAS MOVED TO THE OFFICE OFOMMUNITY
SAFETY. THANKS. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CHRISTIANSON, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY ANY MORE QUESTIONS. >> I WASN'T DONE I'LL LET YOU KNOW. CAN YOU SHARE STATUS UPDATE ON THE -- JUST LOOKING
BACK AT THE MARCH OF 2023 PRESENTATION IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT I GUESS IN SCOPE MODIFICATION YOU DID MENTION POTENTIAL OPTIONS -- I'M SENG HERE, LIKE, VICTIM
SERVICES. THERE WAS ALSO SOMETHING AROUND SUICIDE ATTEMPTS, TRAFFIC -- WELL, TRAFFIC INCIDENTS IS INVOLVED IN HERE, TENANT AND NEIGHBOR TROUBLE SO JUST LOOKING AT THOSE. I WANT TO KNOW IS THE OFFICE PROCEEDING FURTHER
EXPLORATION OF THESE EVEN WITHOUT THE 2.5 BEING DIRECTED TOWARDS THAT BUT I JUST WANTED TO GET A SENSE OF THE REST OF THOSE TOO. >> CHAIR SHAFFER, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, RIGHT NOW THE THWO PILOTS IN THIS GRANT WILL BE THE
TRAFFIC COLLISION RESPONSE AND THE JUVENILE DEFLECTION PROGRAM. I THINK AS YOU WELL KNOW AROUND THE NYU ASSET AND GAPS ANALYSIS AND WITH THE SAFE AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES WORK, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY, COMMUNITY
SAFETY SERVICES FOR RESIDENTS AND ALTERNATIVE RESPONSES. AGAIN, I THINK THESE TWO PILOTS BUILD ON WHAT IS A ROBUST CONTINUUM OF ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE SERVICES THAT CITY HAS AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT THAT PORTFOLIO. >> OKAY, SO JUST FURTHER
CLARIFICATION YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION IN TERMS OF STATUS UPDATE AND I KNOW DIRECTOR OF PMI WHO ALSO JOINED IN ON THE PRESENTATION FROM MARCH OF 2023 IS HERE. DID YOU HAVE TO ANY UPDATES RELATED TO SOME OF THE OTHER ONES THAT YOU REPORTED OT
DEFINED IS I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ONES THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR -- >> I'LL HAVE TO LOOK -- >> YOU SAID YOU DON'T HAVE THAN UPDATE? OKAY. MAYBE THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING TO FOLLOW UP IN COMMITTEE. I KNOW WE DID
RECEIVE REGULAR UPDATES ON THE PILOTS' DEVELOPMENTS. I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH CHAIR CHAVEZ AROUND THAT SO THAT WE CAN AT LEAST LEARN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THOSE AND IF THERE IS CONTINUE WHAT WE CAN DO ON THIS BODY TO SUPPORT THAT THERE IS FINANCIAL
NEEDS. THOSE ARE ACTUALLY ALL MY COMMENTS. I'M DONE. >> THANK YOU DIRECTOR CHRISTIANSON. NEXT UP WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER SORENSON. I'M STEVENSON. >> THANK YOU. I'M ABOUT TO BE THE SECOND PERSON TO BE
CORRECTED BUT CAUGHT YOURSELF. I -- MY QUESTION IS -- OH, YOU MISSED IT IN COMMITTEE THE OTHER DAY. I CORRECTED SOMEBODY FOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT WAS A JOKE FOR THOSE WHO WERE THERE. SORRY. SORRY, MY QUESTION THIS AND MAYBE YOU SAID THIS AND
I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND BUT I GUESS -- MAYBE ASKING IT THIS WAY: HOW CAN PEOPLE EXPECT TO SEE THIS? >> CHAIR SHAFFER, COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, IF I
COULD PRESUME MIGHT PRESUME A R HOW THEY MIGHT RECEIVE IT TRAFFIC CONTROL RESPONSE, RESIDENTS MAY SEE AN ALTERNAVE RESPONSE MODEL THAT IS NOT MPD RESPONDING TO TRAFFIC COLLISIONS
IN SOME CASES AND SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT AGAIN, THAT REDUCES MPD BANDWIDTH BUT IT ALSO GIVES RESIDENTS A DIFFERENT CITY SERVICE TO INTERACT WITH THROUGHOUT TRAFFIC CONTROL. FOR THE JUVENILE DEFLECTION
PROGRA WE'RE HOPING THIS BECOMES A RESOURCE AND A SERVICE THAT FAMILIES, YOUTH AND JUSTICE PARTNERS CAN LOOK TO FOR YOUTH THAT NAY BE AT -- THAT MAY BE AT RISK FOR FURTHER JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT AND SEE THIS AS A
WAY TO ENSURE THAT YOUTH GET DIFFERENTERVICES AND RESOURCES. WE HOPE TO SEE TANGIBLE IMPACTS FROM THESE PILOT PROGRAMS. I THINK SPEAKING TO THE RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS THAT'S DONE AS WELL, THE TARGET HERE THAT NYU AND THE
CITY HAVE JOINTLY MADE IS 20% OF RESPONSES BEING ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE. THAT WOULD MAKE US LEADERS IN THE NATION. I THINK RESIDENTS -- HELLO WE MEET THAT GOAL WILL FEEL A REAL IMPACT, A
REAL DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF WHO IS RESPONDING TO 911 CALLS AND PROVIDING HELP. >> DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA WHEN THESE PILOTS WILL BE UP AND RUNNING? >> I DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE STILL IN THE FINAL
STAGES OF RECEIVING THE MONEY FROM THE DOJ. AGAIN, WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH MORE DETAILED TIMELINES ON -- ON WHAT'S BEEN DONE. I CAN SAY THAT EXTENSIVE PLANNING HAS BEEN DONE MAKE SURE THESE ARE READY TO IMPLEMENT. >> OKAY. DOES THE OFFICE HAVE
A GOAL ABOUT WHEN YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THESE UP AND RUNNING. >> AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> OKAY, I GUESS I'M JUST ASKING SHOULD THAT BE WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS? I MEAN, JUST TO GET A BALLPARK? >> I'LL HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WAS
NOT FINISH LINE. TIMELINE AND THEN FAIL TO DELIVER -- I WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW UP INSTEAD OF FAIL TO FOR HIM UP WITH A TIMELINE. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CHRISTIANSON. WHO ARE THE PRIMARY PARTNERS AROUND THE JUVENILE PROGRAM? COULD YOU
SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THAT IS THAT OCS, IS THAT COUNTY SOCIAL WORKERS? WHO WILL BE OUR PRIMARY PARTNERS IN THIS PILOT >> THANK YOU, CHAIR SHAFFER. I'LL DIRECTOR TO PMI TO SPEAK ABOUT THE DETAILS OF THE
PROGRAM. I CAN SAY THAT FOR ALL THIS WORK OCS IS PARTNERING CLOSELY WITH PMI IN TERMS OF KIND OF THE OVERALL DIRECTION AND STRATEGY. I THINK WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT INTO WHAT THE SPECIFICS OF EACH PROGRAM LOOKS
LIKE. I MENTIONED IN MY PRESENTATION THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SERVICE TYPES THAT THERE COULD BE BUT KNEW SOME OF THIS TOO IS AGAIN JUVENILE DEFLECTION IS MORE OF A CONCEPT. IT HASN'BEEN BUILT INTO A PROGRAM SO THERE ISN'T A
BAKED-OUT PROGRAM IT'S DESIGNING THAT, FIGURING OUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS AND RESPONDING WITH THE SERVICES THAT -- THAT THE CITY AND OUR PARTNERS CAN MEET THOSE NEEDS WITH. >> SO THEILOT IS NOT NECESSARILY AN IMPLEMENTATION? BUT MORE OF AN ANALYSIS?
>> CHAIR SHAFFER, WE DO FULLY INTEND TO HAVE A SERVICE HE FOR FOLKS BUT I'M JUST -- WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT RIGHT NOW 'RE EARLY ENOUGH IN THIS PLANNING STAGES THAT I CAN'T SPEAK TO EXACTLY WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE >> YES, PLEASE INTRODUCE
YOURSELF AND THANK YOU FOR THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. >> OF COURSE, GOOD AFTERNOON MY I'M THE DIRECTOR FOR THE. CHAIR SHAFFER, PARTICULARLY TO YOUR QUESTION WHAT A WE HOPING TO -- I THINK YOUR QUESTION WAS FIRST ON DEFLECTION. HAS WE
HAVE -- WE HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ON PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL SO IT WOULD BE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY, PARTNERING WITH COUNTY SOCIAL WORKERS, SCHOOLS AND, AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE A LIST OF WHO WE SPECIFICALLY WILL START TO REACH OUT TO. BUT THIS IS A
PRESERVE THAT PROGRAM THAT IS -- PROVEN PROGRAMMING THAS WORKED IN OTHER AREAS SUCH AS COLORADO THE COUNTY HAS A JUVENILE AUTO THEFT PROGRAM. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE PILOTS FOR A
WHILE AND HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY JUDICIALLY ON OUR END. I APPRECIATE IT DOES FEEL LIKE IT HAS BEEN A REALLY LONG TIME BUT TO GET THE PAPERWORK READY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WE HAD A LOT OF HOOPS TO GO THROUGH THIS STARTED AS AN EARMARK GRANT SO SENATOR KLOBUCHAR'S OFFICE
WAS ABLE TO SECURE THAT FOR US AND YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR THE GRANT AFTER YOU'RE AWARDED THE MONEY WHICH ISIFFERENT THAN HOW THE NORMAL GRANT PROCESS WORKS SO THAT'S WHY YES, 2 YEARS LATER WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET THINGS LIKE JUST THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, WE
NEED TO FIGURE OUT TO GO THROUGH AN IRB BAUSE THE DOJ THINKS MAYBE WE HAVE TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE'LL BE COLLECTING DATA RIGHT FROM JUVENILES WHERE THEY ARE, I WILL SAY, REQUIREMENTS THAT OUR OFFICES ARE NOT USED TO DOING EVEN IN WHAT WOULD BE A STANDARD
PROCESS. I'M SORRY IT HAS TO BE A LITTLE MORE TECHNICAL IN NATURE BUT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PROGRAM STAFF AND DOJ WHEN IT WAS TRAVER OVER TO OCS TO ENGAGE IN PARTNERSHIP AND I'M SORRY IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN TALKING SINCE I'VE BEEN A DEPARTMENT HEAD BUT WE HAVE BEEN
ACTIVELY DOING THAT. FOR THE DEFLECTION PROGRAM I'M SORRY BACK TO YOUR QUESTION WE WOULD PARTNER EXISTING WITH YOUTH REDIRECTION PROGRAMS WHERE THE GOAL IS AGAIN TO KEEP YOUTH OUT OF THE SYSTEM. COME UP WITH TARGETED PLANS, YOU KNOW, THE OFFICIAL PLANS I'M NOT A SOCIAL
WORKER BUT OFFICIAL PLANS THAT CAN PROVIDE THEM SERVICES WITH THEIR FAMILIES TO KEEP THEM OUT. THE COUNTY'S AUTO THEFT PROGRAMS AND THERE'S A SMALL DIVSION PROGRAM HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND JUST TRY TO
BUILD OFF ON THOSE SO WE'VE BUILD OFF ON WHAT OUR COMMUNITS HAVE DONE AND HOW THEY LAUNCHED IT AND ARE HOPEFUL AS SOON AS WE GET THAT FUNDING GOOD CAN GO IN AND START TALKING WITH COMMUNITY AND SOME OF YOU AND WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR PARTNERS ON THOSE WHO YOU THINK
WOULD BE GREAT TO TALK TO, AND I'LL TALK BACK ON THE TRAFFIC KNO NONINJURY WE'VE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL DESIGNS ON THAT A WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND THAT SO IT WILLE CITYWIDE. THE PROJECT
TEAM WENT DOWN TO NORTH CAROLINA TO LEARN A LOT FROM THAT CRASH INVESTIGATOR PROGRAM, REALLY HAVE BEST PRACTICES SO WE WILL BE SET TO GO AS IT RELATES TO TIMING, SO HOPULLY, TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS A LOT OF THAT DOES DEPEND ON CY PROS SO
WE HAVE TO HIRE, GET VEHICLES, WE'LL HAVE TO RETROFIT THOSE AND WE'RE EXCITED TO GET ELECTRIC TRUCKS AND WE HAVE TO DO THAT AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE NOW STARTING NOW THAT WE KNOW THE FUNDS OUR BUDGET HAS BEEN RELEASING WHILE WE'RE HERE TODAY SO STAPH CAN START TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO ORDER A
TRUCK -- I DON'T WANT TO ORDER THREE ELECTRIC TRUCKS AND SAY WE CAN'T USE THEM BECAUSE SOMETHING FELL THROUGH WITH THE BUDGET SO WE'RE NOW AT A DIFFERENT POINT AND DOJ RELEASING THE BUDGET AND THAT'S COMING BEFORE YOU AND COMING ASKING YOU APPROVE US TO START DRAWING DOWN ON THOSE
FUNDS SO WE HAVE A GREAT PLAN WITH NONINJURY VETAHICLE TRAFFI RESPONSE AND USING TRAFFIC CONTROLGENTS WHO ARE GNG TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK LANGUAGES OTHER
AN ENGLISH TO GO OUT THERE AND TAKE SOME OF THAT THAT ROLE THAT MPD WAS PREVIOUSLY DOING NOT MANY INSURANCES LET YOU TAKE THAT PICTURE AND PUT I IN AN APP AND MAYBEOMETHING THAT HAS
A DIFFERENT IMMIGRATION STATUS INSTEAD OF POLE IT WILL BE AN INDIVIDUAL RESPOND. AGAIN WE WILL BE READY TO GO FROM TH PERSPECTIVE AND WE JUST NEED TO START THE TRAINING AND GET THE VEHICLES AND TAKE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRAINING
HEATING I FEEL PRETTY SET AS SOON AS THE INTERNAL THINGS ARE -- ARE READY TO GO THAT WE HAVE PURELY SOLID DESIGNS AND WE FEEL COMFORTABLE ESPECIALLY WITH JUVENILE DEFLECTION AND STARTING THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE OTHER PARTNERS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THOSE DETAILS. IT'S REALLY HELPFUL AND GIVE US A PREVIEW OF WHAT'S TO COME AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE SEEING THIS PROJECT THROUGH. THE NEXT COUNCIL MEMBER IS COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU CHAIR SHAFFER AND
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I'M EXCITED TO SEE 2.5 MILLION PARTICULARLY HERE FOR POLICING ALTERNATIVES. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROGRAMS HERE. I JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS MAYBE, DIRECTOR, AS WE ARE KIND OF LOOKING THROUGH THIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY -- I'M LOOKING AT THE
SLIDES HERE AND MAYBE I'M MISSING SOMETHING HERE FROM THE DERLS. BUT I'D JUST BE CURIOUS ALL OF US ON THE BODY WOULD LOVE TO SEE THESE PROGRAMS AND PILOTS BE SUCCESSFUL ITHIS WORK SO WHERE IS THE FUNDING GOING AS IT
RELATES TO EACH PILOT, WHERE THAT FUNDING IS THE MAJORITY OF THE FUND -- I'M ASSUMING IT'S PROBABLY NOT BEING SPENT ON TRUCKS BUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THESE DOLLARS ARE GOING TO WITHIN EACH SPECIFIC PILOT. >> CHAIR SHAFFER,
COUNCIL MEMBER WHY MIITING, THA YOU FOR THE QUESTION. OUT OF THE 2.5 MILLION TOTAL ALLOCATION THE BREAKDOWN AMONG THE PROJECTS IS APPROXIMATELY 900,000 FOR THE TRAFFIC COLLISION RESPONSE. ALMOST 500,000 FOR THE JUVENILE DEFLECTINGTION PILOT PROGRAM.
THE PROJECT COORDINATOR AT 128,000 AND THEN NYU IN THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK TOGETHER APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION FOR THEIR RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYSIS SUPPORT. NYU AT
579,000, 474,000 SO THAT'S THE TOTAL BUDGET. >> THAT'S HELPFUL, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE LARGER CHUNK OF THAT TO BE SORT OF THE RESEARCH ANALYTICS PROCESS ON IF THESE ARE SUCCESSFUL OR NOT? SOUNDS
LIKE -- >> I WOULD JUST SAY I THINK COMBINING THE PILOTS PLUS THE PROJECT COORDINATOR WILL COME OUT TO APPROXIMATELY -- JUST OVER 1.5 MILLION AND THE REMAINING WOULD BE THE RESEARCH. >> OKAY. THAT'S HELPFUL.
HOW LONG IS THE PILOT IN ITS WHOLE SUPPOSED TO KIND OF TAKE. HOW LONG ARE WE KIND OF LOOKING AT. >> 12 MONTHS. 12 MONTHS. >> 12 MONTHS. >> YES. >> AWESOME. THANK YOU AND IS THE HOPE THEN KIND OF TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL AND KIND OF
DISCUSS THE SUCCESS OR NONSUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM? >> YES, I THINK PART OF THIS IS THAT PROJECT COORDINATOR ROLE THAT WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET IS AIMED AT EVALUATING THESE PROJECTS AT WHAT'S WORKING, MAYBE WHAT WE SHOULD CHANGE ON
OUR APPROACH SO WE WOULD COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THESE ALTERNATIVE RESPONSES. >> WONDERFUL. I'M LIKE PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN BE HELPFUL AND HOPEFULLY SEE THE SUCCESS OF THESE PROGRAMS MOVE FORWARD --. THANK YOU.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE? >> THANK YOU. JUST A VERY QUICK QUESTION. FOR THIS TRAFFIC NEW NONENFORCEMENT PROJECT FOR NONINJURY ENFORCEMENTS DO WE
NEED TO CHANGE LAW >> CHAIR SHAFFER, COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, WE'RE LOOKING INTO SOME -- SOME OF THAT RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE SCIFIC STATUTES AND I DON'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF THE CITY'S ATTORNEYS OFFICE ON THIS BUT IT'S A POSSIBILITY >> IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KNOW
BECAUSE WE CAN PUT THAT ON OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA TO HELP GET A CHANGE IF NEEDED >> ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH COUIL IF THERE'S A NEED. >> I DON SEE I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE IN QUEUE. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE
QUESTIONS. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION I WILL MOVE TO MOVE FORWARD THE BYRNE DISCRETIONARY GRANT FUNDING GRANTS PROGRAM FOR EVALUATION OF PROBLEM, NATURE, CODES. AND CLERK ALL THOSE -- DO WE NEED A SECOND ON THIS ONE.
>> WITH APPROVAL, SORRY. >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> GREAT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THIS FORWARD WITH APPROVAL. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> I'M IN QUEUE. >> AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ IS IN QUEUE. >> I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE. PLEASE
FORGIVE ME. >> NO PROBLEM. I JUST WANT TO MOVE IT WITH APPROVAL. >> WITH APPROVAL. SURE. WE WILL MOVE THIS FORWARD WITH APPROVAL ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLSE SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> ANY OPPOSED? THAT MOTION CARRIES. WITH THAT WE'VE CONCLUDED ALL BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE TODAY. IF
THERE'S NO OBJECTION, WE STAND ADJOURNED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
