C
And
Reverend
Oglesby
before
you
go
I
just
want
to
thank
your
congregation,
in
particular
during
covid
when
we
had
this
program
called
iHelp,
that's
rotated
around
for
years
in
different
churches,
but
because
of
the
conditions
and
the
unknowns
of
covid.
Your
congregation
took
on
the
Lion's
Share
for
two
years,
every
single
night
and
you
save
lives.
You
helped
our
community
in
a
great
way
and
we're
just
grateful.
So
thank
you.

The
department
began
to
dedicate
resources
to
address
the
issue
with
a
focused
goal
and
one
providing
awareness
to
Bringing
offenders
to
Justice
and
three
providing
resources
to
the
victims
of
these
types
of
crimes
in
2015,
Council
approved
funding
to
create
the
human
trafficking
unit
to
investigate
individuals
and
groups
who
engage
human
trafficking
and
Associated
crimes
for
2023.
Just
to
highlight
some
of
the
efforts
that
we've
done,
the
team
has
been
participating
in
dozens
of
undercover
operations.
I
I
I
wanted
to
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
one
of
our
detectives.
That's
in
this
unit,
that's
Detective,
Mike,
Russo
who's,
just
an
amazing
human
being
who
has
dedicated
a
great
portion
of
his
career
to
human
fighting
human
trafficking,
he's
assigned
to
the
FBI's
human
trafficking
task
force
where
he's
partnered
or
participated
in
dozens
of
operations,
including
federal
state
and
local
partners.
I
He
is
recognized
as
a
subject
matter
expert
in
the
field
and
has
trained
federal
state
and
local
of
officers
across
the
country
in
December
of
last
year.
He
was
recognized
for
his
efforts
by
the
FBI
director,
Christopher
Wray,
and
we're
grateful
that
he's
on
our
team
and
furtherance
of
our
mission,
the
Chandler
Police
Department
traffic,
human
trafficking
units
partnered
with
the
Arizona
anti-trafficking
Network,
to
combine
our
efforts
in
public
education,
awareness
of
human
trafficking.
I
There
are
several
Partners
who
benefit
from
this
training
which
are
noted
on
the
slide.
In
addition,
we
want
to
highlight
our
victim
Services
Unit,
that
works
in
partnership
with
various
non-profits
in
an
effort
to
provide
resources
to
those
who
are
involved
in
human
trafficking
and
to
get
them
out
of
the
lifestyle
of
prostitution.
I
I
Two
funding
will
pay
for
current
Personnel
overtime,
salary
associated
with
future
operations,
and
three
funding
will
go
to
education,
awareness
and
training
to
various
members
of
our
community.
These
include
the
Health
and
emergency
services,
who
are
often
are
the
first
to
encounter
people
that
are
victimized
in
these
areas.
The
second
is
the
school
district
and
to
educate
them.
I
Obviously,
these
are
the
youth
and
children
that
are
often
targeted
by
these
folks
and
then
also
part
of
our
Hispanic
Outreach
forums,
which
are
scheduled
for
the
fall
and
the
spring,
and
this
is
in
light
of
studies
that
show
the
Latino
population
is
unfortunately
targeted.
More
than
any
other
group.
I
Slide
eight
is
oops,
I
went
too
far.
We
also
want
to
highlight,
because
of
our
partnership
with
the
Arizona
anti-trafficking
Network.
As
a
city,
we
are
working
with
a
division
under
that
group
called
cease,
which
stands
for
cities
empowered
against
sexual
exploitation,
cease
works
with
local
government
through
training
employees,
developing
policy
and
helping
identify
and
Implement
interventions
all
aimed
to
reduce
commercial
sex
trafficking,
and
with
that
we
are
absolutely
grateful
for
the
support
over
the
many
years
to
help
us
combat
this
in
our
communities
from
the
mayor
and
Council.
K
Thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
Chief
and
and
I
appreciate
that
that
explanation
and
the
work
that
we're
doing
I
think
it's
something
that's
come
to
the
light
over
the
past
few
years
is
something
that's
atrocious
and
and
the
more
I'm
learning
about
it.
It's
happening
in
everybody's
neighborhood,
even
South,
Chandler
mid
Chandler,
West
East.
It
doesn't
matter
it's
happening
in
our
neighborhoods
and
it's
a
it's.
An
atrocity,
I
mean
I.
Think
I
want
to
recognize
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
I
want
to
recognize.
K
K
So
we're
talking
about
some
serious
issues
here,
and
this
is
probably
the
most
heinous
crime
that
there
is,
that
I
that
I
can
think
of
other
than
than
murder
and
and
I
think
that
that
we
have
to
fix
this.
And
if
we
can
start
here,
I
think
we
can
do
some
amazing
things
and
help
other
cities
in
that
regard.
Here's
what
I
do
know
is
that
when
the
city
of
Chandler
Police
Department
puts
their
mind
to
lowering
crime,
it
happens
when
they
put
their
mind
to
doing
anything.
K
K
But
I
want
to
recognize
representative
Willoughby
who's
here
tonight,
because,
with
her
efforts,
she's
appropriated
two
million
dollars
directly
to
our
police
department
and
I'm,
hoping
that,
through
the
city
manager
and
through
the
rest
of
us,
we
can
dedicate
some
of
that
funding
to
continue
to
do
things
to
Stamp
Out
human
trafficking
in
Chandler.
So
thanks
very
much
assistant
chief
I
appreciate
the
presentation.
F
F
And
thank
you
mayor,
councilman
Stewart,
for
bringing
this
forward.
It's
an
important
issue
to
all
of
us.
A
lot
of
us-
and
you
know
one
crime-
is
way
too
many,
whether
it's
in
Channel
or
another
community
and
we've
done
a
lot
but
again
I'm
type
of
person
that
likes
to
say,
okay.
What
else
can
we
do
and
you
knew
that
was
coming
right?
F
Chief
I
saw
you
smile,
so
you
don't
have
to
give
it
to
us
now,
but
you
know
we're
starting
the
budget
cycle
soon
and
if
there's
something
immediately,
let
us
know
we'll
work
that
issue.
But
let's
look
at
our
budget
cycle
and
if
there's
any
legislation
obviously
be
done,
we
got
to
get
with
Ryan
Peters
and
the
the
legislators
see
if
there's
additional
funding
or
or
laws
or
something
to
help
us
do
the
next
step.
Absolutely.
L
Thank
you,
mayor,
thank
you,
Chief,
and
when
I
met
with
detective
Russo
and
for
almost
two
and
a
half
hours,
he
was
really
getting
deep
into
explaining
to
me
what
the
department
is
doing
and
what
the
background
and
everything,
because
I
was
interested
because
there
was
a
company
that
was
going
to
make
a
movie
about
the
whole
thing.
So
I
bought
him
to
the
table
with
some
of
the
lieutenant
and
chief
to
sit
down
and
talk
about
it.
The
one
thing
that
I
found
out
from
him.
L
He
was
a
a
team
of
one
yeah
he's
a
team
of
one,
and
we
cannot
put
so
much
on
one
person
and
when
I
ask
him
as
a
first
responder
myself
and
a
nurse
I
wanted
to
find
out
from
him.
What
are
the
gracious
things
that
he
has
seen?
He
couldn't
even
describe
them
to
me,
and
this
is
a
family
man.
He
has
children
himself
and
every
single
day
he's
dealing
with
these
things.
L
Another
thing
that
I
found
out
also
about
him
he's
not
only
working
here
in
Chandler,
but
he's
traveling
all
over
the
United
States,
because
he's
part
of
everything
that's
happening.
So
he
is
getting
the
burden
from
Chandler,
but
he's
also
getting
the
burden,
and
vice
mayor
you
did
ask
what
else
can
we
do
I
think
that's
an
area
where
we
all
can
agree
that
we
will
need
to
put
some.
L
L
I
Has
one
sergeant
and
there's
four
protected
as
well?
Just
for
Staffing
people
have
moved
other
areas.
We
haven't
been
able
to
backfill
that
yeah,
but
we
did
create
a
team,
a
list
that
we
hope
to
put
on
there
and
they've
actually
been
helping
out
they.
When
we
have
that
opportunity
on
overlap
days,
these
folks
will
go
and
assist
with
different
operations
and
things
like
that.
But
to
your
point
absolutely
we
will
continue
to
look
and
find
ways
to
enhance
this
Mission,
because
it's
so
vital
and.
I
Is
an
issue
that's
Nationwide
and
we're
actually
doing
better
than
most
I
know.
There's
some
recent
changes
that
we've
made
to
help
address
that
with
some
incentives
for
hiring,
which
is
very
grateful
and
I.
Think
that
will
push
us
forward.
We
do
have
some
recent
success.
We
have
eight
going
to
the
academy
this
month
and
we
have
four
laterals
that
are
currently
in
the
process.
I
J
J
Not
only
that
you
helped
lead
the
the
for
us
to
get
the
proclamation
for
not
in
our
city,
so
you
did
a
good
work
in
that
I
guess
I
want
to
also
say
thank
you
to
State
representative
Julie
Willoughby
for
getting
that
two
million
dollars
over
to
the
city
of
Chandler,
it's
very
to
from
a
grateful
city.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
that
work
and
that
support
I
guess
my
question
would
be
to
you.
Chief
is
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
I
know.
J
We've
already
said:
what
more
can
we
do?
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
track
like?
Is
there
data
I
mean
because
sex
trafficking
is?
Is
such
a
it's
one
of
those
type
of
things
that
you
know?
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can?
Is
there
data
that
can
track
what's
happening
in
Chandler?
Can
we
is
there
data
that
says?
Okay,
kids
are
being
adopted
from
Chandler
and
putting
into
everyone.
How
do
we
track
that
from
like
a
city
perspective,
but.
I
I
So
when
we,
when
we
do
this,
we're
trying
to
Target
those
folks,
because
we
know
they're
hitting
all
over
the
valley
all
over
the
state.
But
this
isn't
necessarily
where
you
see
someone
that's
being
abductive
off
the
streets,
it's
a
very,
very
different
from
that,
but
certainly
we
can
produce
some
data.
That
kind
of
shows
some
of
the
arrests,
some
of
the
investigations
of
things
that
we've
done
and.
J
I
J
M
M
I
Yeah,
absolutely
it's
a
it's
an
awareness
piece,
as
you
know,
23
roughly
of
our
demographic,
our
Hispanic,
and
we
have
outreaches
with
all
the
different
population
groups
within
our
community
to
include
the
Hispanic
population,
about
crime
Trends,
how
they
can
be
aware
of
it,
how
they
can
prevent
it
from
being
a
victim,
and
so
this
will
go
to
that.
We
have
our
first.
I
We
have
one
in
the
fall
one
in
the
spring,
so
October
28th
we're
partnering
with
the
cosd
we're
going
to
be
at
Goodman,
Elementary
School
and
we're
going
to
do
a
Hispanic
Outreach
there,
and
this
will
be
a
part
of
that.
Just
educating
them
awareness,
how
Predators
Prey,
Upon
the
youth
and
giving
them
tools
to
be
aware
and
to
avoid
their
their
children
from
being
victimized.
I
C
So
current
events,
I,
will
start
I've
got
a
few
first
coming
up
next
month.
Is
our
Chandler
Contigo
Festival?
It's
a
month-long
celebration
to
commemorate
Hispanic
Heritage
Month.
It
kicks
off
September
16th
with
a
family
friendly
festival
downtown.
There
will
be
strolling.
Mariachis
crafts
face,
painting,
interactive
cultural
presentations
and
Lucha
Libre
mask
wrestlers.
Who
will
be
there
to
teach
you
some
moves,
I
understand
that
Vice
Mayors
agreed
to
put
a
mask
on
and
show
us
some
moves.
C
It's
been
mentioned
a
few
times
at
different
locales,
but
we
have
our
for
our
city
Day
event
coming
up,
October
21st
and
we're
going
to
be
tackling
a
neighborhood
close
to
the
corner
of
Cooper
west
east
of
Cooper,
South
of
Chandler
Boulevard
North
of
Frye
and
every
October.
Our
community
joins
forces
on
Far
our
city
Day.
Last
year
we
had
over
1300
in
this
group
of
volunteers,
has
been
revitalizing
and
will
again
this
year,
a
neighborhood
by
painting
homes,
spreading
gravel
cleaning
alleys
and,
more
so,
I'd
like
to
invite
our
families.
C
C
We
we
are
very
excited
as
a
council
to
commemorate
our
partnership
with
ASU
as
it
comes
through
fruition,
as
we
open
up
a
new
community
co-working
space
at
the
ASU
Chandler,
Innovation
Center,
and
so
I'd
like
to
invite
our
community
to
attend
the
celebration
next
week
on
Wednesday
August
23rd
at
9.
15
a.m
to
tour
the
facility,
and
our
goal
in
this
partnership
is
to
make
the
ASU
Chandler
Innovation
Center
acic
a
one-shop
stop
for
entrepreneurs
looking
to
launch
or
scale
a
business.
C
L
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
we
can't
all
agree
that
it's
been
really
hot
and
whenever
you
see
me
with
my
little
umbrella,
you
know
that
I'm
trying
to
stay
away
from
the
Sun,
but
we're
getting
something
downtown.
That's
really
going
to
help
us
to
cool
down
that
is
crispy
home
I
mean
record.
Oh
my
God.
This
is
gonna,
be
so
cool.
It's
gonna
be
some
ice
cream,
downtown
I'm,
looking
forward
to
it.
I'm
there
tomorrow
for
the
we've
been
cutting
anybody
else's
coming
free,
simple:
did
you
know
about
that?
They
said?
L
F
Melissa
I'll
miss
you
we'll
all
miss
you.
So
thank
you
very
much.
You
know
my
first
Tour
of
Duty
here
we've
had
one
person
that
held
that
desk.
Now
we've
had
two,
so
it
must
be
my
fault.
I
apologize
now
seriously.
Good
luck
and
keep
keep
in
touch.
Okay,
second,
mayor
I,
don't
think
we
meet
until
after
Labor
Day,
so
everyone
have
a
safe,
Labor
Day.
That
is
one
of
the
highest
fatality
days
of
the
year.
So
please
be
careful
driving!
Okay!
Thank
you.
Mayor.
K
Thank
you,
mayor
I'm,
not
going
to
miss
that
ice
cream,
constant
umbrellas,
I,
don't
miss
ice
cream
Melissa
all
the
best
in
in
your
endeavors.
We're
excited
for
you!
So
hey!
You
know!
Speaking
of
entrepreneurs,
we've
got
another
chandler-based
entrepreneur,
that's
opened
a
restaurant
in
downtown
Chandler
called
Elliott's
Steakhouse
and
so
we'd
like
to
congratulate
them
on
their
opening.
I.
Think
the
grand
opening
is
tomorrow.
So
oh
yeah.
C
K
J
J
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
love
and
then
yesterday,
I
celebrated
my
birthday
I
think
I
have
received
over
7,
000,
happy
birthdays
and
so
I,
just
it
was
so
overwhelming,
and
so
with
everything
I
have
been
going
through,
I
needed
that,
and
so
I
just
want
to
tell
the
city
of
Chandler.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
Mayor
and
Council,
and
all
the
staff
here
who
are
sending
me
text
messages
and
stuff
and
I
appreciate
that
and
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
So
thank
you.
C
N
N
There
I
just
I,
just
wanted
to
highlight
something
that
we
approved
tonight
on
the
consent
agenda,
and
it's
it's
something
that
I
think
is
really
kind
of
neat.
It's
the
intergovernmental
agreement
extension
to
stop
the
fish
in
our
Lakes,
which
seems
like
you
know,
it's
kind
of
a
simple
little
thing,
but
it's
actually
really
really
neat
and
I.
Actually
one
time
had
the
opportunity
to
watch
that
happen
right
now.
N
It's
about
what
18
000
fish
going
into
Desert,
Breeze
and
Veterans
Oasis
I
got
to
see
it
happen
out
at
veterans
Oasis,
it's
a
sight
to
be
seen,
but
that's
what
really
makes
this
kind
of
recreation
that
you're
seeing
on
the
screen
possible?
All
of
the
fishing
you
don't
think
of
fishing,
a
lot
in
the
desert,
I,
don't
think,
but
I
think
it's
a
really
neat
thing
that
we
did
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
we
have
this
agreement
that
that's
what
it's
for
it's
there
for
our
residents.
N
It
also
means
that
game
and
fish
assists
with
water
quality
tests
and
Lake
assessments
and
all
of
those
things,
but
mostly
it
means
something
really
neat
for
our
residents.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
that
it's
a
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
Chandler
residents
to
go
out,
especially
with
their
kids
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
that's
it!
Thank
you
I'm
in
I'm,
terrible
at
it,
but
I'm
in.
