A
And
miss
lacey:
how
much
time
do
we
have
allotted
for
this
one
20
minutes
all
right.
C
C
Support
services,
housing
incentives
and
recruiting
and
rent
retention
incentives.
C
C
C
Three
percent
in
2021
compared
to
2020.,
we
are
committed
to
reducing
the
number.
C
C
C
We
continue
to
maintain
16
data
sets
provided
to
the
police
data
initiative,
which
is
a
national.
C
And
we're
continuing
to
evaluate
the
process,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
quarter
of
the
third.
C
Quarter
to
look
at
having
the
dispatch
center
seek
national
accreditation.
C
Starting
to
do
more
outreach
to
come
to
connect
with
the
citizens
of
bloomington.
C
Oops
the
goal
of
adding
the
five
additional
officers
back
into
the
budget.
C
Kalia,
where
they
review
approximately
a
third
of
all
the
standards
every
year,
we
will
continue.
C
To
do
that
process
in
20,
20
22
as
well
central
emergency
dispatch.
We
will
continue.
C
Work
to
ensure
accurate
and
timely
data
data
is
entered
in
the
report
process.
C
Lit
kind
of
an
overview
of
the
general
fund
buzz
budget
for
police.
The
personnel
request
is
16.
C
Charges,
the
request
is
one
million
five
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand.
This
is
a
decrease
of.
C
This
can
this
slide
shows
the
differences
from.
C
1920
21
and
22,
and
you
can
see
the
far
right-
the
increases
from
2022
to
2021.
C
Presentation
I
mentioned
hiring
and
retention
incentives.
That's
what
this
amount
of
money.
C
Is
used
for
and
other
services,
the
125
000
is
category
3
expenses
that
are
and
the
arpa
funds.
D
D
D
Are
leaving
soon
what
what
happens
to
the
the
budgeted
amounts
or
the
the
return
to
the.
D
General
fund:
yes,
if
there
are
any
funds
left
over,
as
you
might
remember,
we
always
come
to
you
in.
E
The
fall
with
kind
of
a
cleanup,
app
board,
and
sometimes
the
police
department
needs
more.
E
E
E
He
talked
about,
in
addition,
there's
the
three
new
dispatchers,
so
there's
a
significant.
E
Increase
in
that
budget,
just
for
new
salaries,
in
addition
to
increases
in
the
civilian
and
union.
C
C
We
utilize
to
answer
not
emergency
calls
minor,
they
might
take
minor
reports
minor.
C
Theft
reports
and
they
work
minor
property
damage,
accidents
for
us
and
then
the
sworn
police.
C
Officers
are
have
a
lot
more
training,
go
to
the
indiana
law
enforcement
academy,.
C
Have
certifications
and
they
were
they
can
respond
to
all
calls
that
we
get
it
so.
D
It
sounds
like
the
the
community,
the
law
enforcement
support
services
or
I'm
sorry,
the.
D
C
Minor
things
that
minor
calls
that
we
get
minor
calls.
Thank
you.
C
We
have
not
had
them
do
that
in
the
past.
That
is
something
that.
C
Really
determined,
if
that
is
something
that
would
happen,
those
types
of
calls
can
sometimes.
C
Show
up-
and
there
are
a
lot
of
times
where
there
might
be
some
kind
of
criminal
activity.
C
F
In
my
district
tend
to
call
them
in,
and
so
if
the
community
support
specialists.
F
G
G
G
New
program
and
how
comfortable
you
feel
with
how
much
they
are
able
to
assist
the.
C
Neighborhood
resource
specialist
and
we
hired
two
people.
I
believe
it
was
two
years
ago
to
start.
C
People,
one
of
them
became
an
officer,
and
one
of
them
was
no
longer
with
the
department
and
so.
C
C
Because
we
park,
we
had
parking
enforcement
and
parking
enforcement,
went
back
to
public
works.
C
And
so
some
of
the
duties
that
parking
enforcement
officers
did
for
us,
we
didn't
have
anybody
to.
C
Some
of
that
workload
that
parking
had
taken
on
to
to
help
free
up
officer
time,
and
so
that's.
C
C
Of
kovid-
and
so
it
was,
it
was
really
slow
to
get
it
going.
This
year,
we
we
added
two
more
people.
C
C
Just
really
this
summer,
just
starting
to
kind
of
do
more
for
us,
but
again
it's
it's
been
one
of.
C
We
can
use
them
efficiently
and
effectively
to
to
respond
to
calls
and
things,
and
so.
C
C
C
H
C
Know
usually,
minor
property
damage
accidents.
It's
been
our
experience
that
those
don't
really.
C
Turn
into
anything
or
escalate,
taking
a
minor
report
like
a
maybe
a
minor
vandalism
or
a
minor.
C
Theft,
where
there's
no
suspect
those
tend
to
to
not,
you
know,
develop
into
anything
more.
C
Seriously,
you
know
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
noise
calls
because
there
have
been
times.
C
Where
noise
calls
have
escalated,
where
you
know,
officers
have
responded
and
there
have
been
shots.
C
Evaluate
those
to
see
if
that
would
be
appropriate
for
them
to
to
respond
to
clearly
we're
not.
C
C
H
That's
helpful,
thank
you
and
I
I'm
pleased
to
hear
that
we
have
the
two
new
social
workers.
H
And
they're
great,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
moving
forward.
At
the
same
time,
I
am
struck
by
the.
H
Fact
that
we
are
approved
for
105
officers
and
we
have
76
available
and
could
you
help
for
those.
H
H
C
Obviously,
over
time
you
know
over
the
course
of
the
year
those
numbers
fluctuate.
We
are
in
a.
C
Situation
now,
where
we
have,
we
have
seven
openings.
So
that's
seven
people
we
don't
have.
We
have.
A
Repeat
that
same
question,
so
I'll
just
finish
where
I
left
off,
and
so
we
currently
have.
C
C
C
That
we
don't
we
can't
fill,
we
have
our
dro
program
has
openings.
I
currently
only
have
one
dro.
C
So,
and
I
believe
that
I
think
I
hit
all
the
categories
of
where
people
are
at
so
that
that.
C
C
Is
we
have
to
backfill
with
overtime
and
so
when,
when
a
shift
comes
about
and
if
the.
C
Then
we
ask
officers
to
hold
over
for
overtime
to
fill,
to
fill
those
vacancies.
A
Are
there
any
first
round
questions
council,
member
flaherty
sure
thank
you,
chief,
the
for.
I
Their
service,
I
I
think,
one
of
the
common
themes
of
the
budget
cycle
so
far.
This.
I
Year
has
been
a
concern
over
over
policing
and
public
safety
and
I
think,
in
the
context
of.
I
Police,
in
particular,
maybe
two
things,
one
related
to
compensation
and
second
related.
I
To
staffing
levels
and
support
for
the
calls
the
calls
that
we
receive
and
I
think
the
first.
I
I
And
then
there's
another
side
which
is
sort
of
where
I
sit,
which
is.
I
What
can
we
take
off
of
the
officer's
plates?
There's
a
lot
of
progressive
communities.
I
Reduce
the
load
on
our
officers
on
situations
they
may
not
need
to
be
or
may
not
even
be
best.
I
The
difficult
nature
of,
and
history
of
policing
in
this
country,
not
everyone
always.
I
So
with
that
preface
I
wanted
to
ask
what
your
thoughts
were
about.
C
C
C
That
we
have
because
they
go
out
and
they
end
up
picking
up
some
of
these,
the
the
people.
C
C
C
Center
stone
runs
that
and
it's
it's
people
that
we
get
calls
on,
that.
Don't
need
to
go
to.
C
C
Going
on
their
own
because
they
they've
made
those
contacts,
and
so
that's
I'm
sorry,
confidence.
C
J
J
Can
you
say
a
little
bit
about
why
proactive
policing
is
really
is,
is
an
advantage
and.
J
How
much
time
the
bpd
spends
in
proactive
policing
and
is
it
reflected
anywhere
in
the.
C
Doing
proactive
policing
is
important
because
that's
that's
our
opportunity
to
and
there's
a.
C
C
And
not
having
that
opportunity
to
do
that
is,
I
think,
not
a
good
thing
for
us
to
do,
because.
C
Quite
frankly,
the
officers
miss
that
interaction,
because
you
know
they
they
they
meet.
People.
C
Again,
it's
just
it's
that
personal
contact.
That
is,
is,
I
think,
critically
important.
C
C
Outreach
efforts
using
the
community
service
specialist,
we
did
a,
we
did
a
thing
in
crestmont.
J
J
A
Heath
kickoff,
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about
the
data
analysis
and
gathering
that.
C
Information
is
collected,
and
we
do
we
do
look
at
that.
However,
what
we
have
found
is
that
it's.
C
Not
the
the
racial
data
that
we
collect
is
not
always
accurate
because,
for
instance,
the
indiana.
C
It
may
be
hard
to
tell
what
someone's
race
is,
and
so,
but
we
do
look
at
that
and
we
we
look
at.
C
How
those
interactions
you
know
in
what
context
they
are
in
and
how?
How
we
do
that,
and
and.
C
That
is
information
that
we
report
out
on
be
clear
and
on
to
the
national
police
data
initiative.
A
So
is
that,
have
you
noticed
any
trends
as
far
as
are
there
racial
disparities
and
if
so,.
C
African-American
population
is
is
roughly
four
to
five
percent.
We
have
seen
some
of
our.
C
C
And
it
is,
it
is
completely
people
call
in,
for
it
is
traffic
accident
data.
C
And
so
what
we've
seen
is
that
that,
looking
at
that
data
and
looking
at
the
the
the
race.
C
C
A
K
Thank
you
head
on
mute
myself
and
chief
we'll
have.
We
have
had
a
lot.
K
K
At
you
also,
I'm
also
concerned
that,
with
our
lack
of
officers,
then
that
manifests
itself
into.
K
K
So
I
know
that
was
a
lot.
I'm
sorry
and
I
hope
you
can
address
it
and
maybe
we
can
talk.
K
Further
in
the
next
round,
but
you
have
about
a
minute
I'll
try
to
head
on
so
so
thank
you.
We
have.
C
We
have
cut
back
on
our
training,
however,
we
still
prioritize
de-escalation,
training
and.
C
Communication
skills
because
those
are
things
that
we
do
all
the
time
and
so,
but
we
we
have
had.
C
To
cut
back
on
training,
because
we
we
just
don't
have
the
resources
to
to
do
what
we
used
to
do.
K
K
Won't
get
into
a
whole
lot
of
details,
because
I
can't
but,
for
example,
when
we
let
officers.
C
That
in
particular,
indiana
passed
police
reform
laws
this
year
and
and
one
of
the
things
that
they.
C
There
was
a
lot
of
important
stuff
in
that
in
that
legislation
that
passed
this
year.
D
Thank
you
chief
decoff,
so
you
hit
on
something
that
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on,
and
that
is
that.
D
This
minimum
staffing
requirement
and
the
need
now
for
mandatory
overtime
which
to
me.
D
Is
distressing
because
what
it
says
is
that
it
must
be
exhausting
to
actually
work
a
shift.
D
And
then
the
work
shifts
back
to
back
says
to
me
that
there
is
a
problem
inherent
there.
D
What
percentage
of
calls
can
a
community
service
specialist
take?
In
other
words,.
D
This
person
could
do
yeah
well,
first
of
all
there
there
is
a
request
in
this
budget
for.
C
Hiring
and
retention
incentives
so
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
different
ideas
to.
C
I'll
figure
that
out
and
respond
to
that
question,
but
how
about
the
director
of
law.
D
Sworn
officers:
well,
what
I
mean
is
the
the
types
of
or
what
we're
doing
is
you
know,
budgeting.
C
The
concept
behind
that
is
because
I
have
68
non-sworn
employees
spread
across
the
organization.
C
C
Captain
over
all
of
those
units,
but
okay,
okay,
you
that
that
suffices,
I'm
running
out
of
time.
D
Does
that
person
report
to
you
they
would
yes,
okay!
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
member
sandberg,.
G
G
You
know
who
you're
going
to
have
on
your
roster
that
far
ahead,
but
day
shift
minimum.
G
G
G
C
Officers
and
so,
but
we
still
have
to
maintain
adequate
staffing
levels
to
make
sure
that
we
can.
C
Respond
to
whatever
calls
we
had,
you
know,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
we're
trying
different
incentives.
C
To
to
hire
people
and
to
keep
the
people
that
we
have
their
the
the
rental
assistance
program.
C
Rental
assistance.
We
have
six
officers
taking
advantage
of
that
take-home
cars
that
that.
C
Pilot
project
has
about
25
of
cars
assigned
to
officers
living
in
the
city
and
those
on
call.
C
In
our
critical
units
that
we
need
a
fast
response
in
the
county,
the
250
000
that
is
requested.
C
It
is
concerning,
though,
because
we
have
to
maintain
officers
that
we
can
respond
to.
C
You
know
different
departments
and
cities
have
handled
it
different
ways.
I
think
you
can.
C
Offering
other
incentives
you
know,
that's
that's
something
that
we're
looking
at
doing.
C
To
hire
and
retain
people,
and
so
but
we
we
continue
to
look
at
it
and
we're
trying
to
to
take.
C
Couple
of
years,
and
then
they
move
on
that's
problematic,
because
we
have
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
lot.
C
Of
money
and
time
wrapped
up
in
new
hires,
and
so
obviously
we
need
to
look
at
our
situation.
C
Locally
and
and
make
decisions
where
we're
not
losing
those
people
and
so
but
again,
I
think.
C
That's
something
that
you
know,
obviously,
the
mayor's
concerned
about
I'm
concerned
about
that.
C
H
H
C
And
I
think
that
those
those
would
be
agencies
to
look
at.
I
think
you
know
we
are
a
big
ten.
C
City,
so
we
could
look
at
other
big
ten
cities
to
see
what
they're
doing
I
mean.
There's.
C
F
Only
examples
are
there:
college
towns
like
ours
that
are
clear
certified
that
you
look
to
you
know.
C
I
I'm
drawing
a
blank.
I
I
used
to
know
who
some
of
them
were.
Are
there
any
in
the
state
of
indiana.
C
I
name
a
couple:
I'm
drawing
a
blank.
Sorry
I
can't
remember,
I
mean
south
bend,
lafayette,
terre.
A
C
Because
I
wouldn't
compare
us
to
carmel,
but
I
know
they
are,
they
are
accredited.
C
F
About
a
minute,
all
right
go
ahead.
Just
briefly
chief,
I
mean,
I
think
you
see
the
the
challenge.
F
F
F
A
Councilmember
sentence:
thank
you
chief
I'll,
submit
many
of
my
thoughts
and
questions.
K
In
written
that
you
can
respond
to,
but
right
now
and
we're
kind
of
talking
about
salary.
K
Retention
and
recruiting-
and
we
all
know
that
your
compensation
package
or
not
yours
but.
K
And
more
harder
to
compare,
do
you
think
that's
one
of
our
challenges.
K
C
Are
we
with
other
agencies?
You
know
the
the
job
of
a
police
officer.
C
Those
departments
that
are
having
more
success,
I
think,
are
making
it
a
more
making
up.
C
The
workplace
more
attractive
and
so
and
again
that's
that's
trying
to
make
make
them.
C
More
competitive,
and
so
with
with
the
fewer
number
of
people
getting
into
law
enforcement,
they.
C
Obviously,
the
more
competitive
we
can
be,
the
more
success
we're
going
to
have,
and
you
know
we.
C
C
To
have
have
embedded
police
social
workers
and
we've
actually
gotten
people
to
apply.
C
Because
they,
like
that
concept,
we've
we
have
outreach
worker
community
service
specialists.
C
C
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
people
to
look
at
that
and
evaluate
how
we
can
do
that
successfully.
K
How
competitive
are
we-
and
this
is
probably
just
a
guess,.
A
All
right,
I
have
another
question
chief
decoff,
I'm
wondering
how
does
dispatch.
C
So
they
they
have
been
given
guidelines-
and
I
mentioned
this
earlier
if,
if
a.
C
The
supervisors
will
will
disregard
the
officer
and
call
the
complaint
back
and
say
you
know.
C
C
Who
can
override
that?
If
they
don't
think
it's
that's
an
appropriate
call
for
them
to
go
on.
A
At
ballpark
figures
of
what
percentage
of
calls
are
assigned
to
non-sworn
personnel,
I
can.
G
Had
a
real
serious
shift
where
we
needed
a
lot
of
attention,
can
you
talk
about
our
relationship.
G
To
iupd
sure
so
iu
is
obviously
it's
located
within
the
city
boundaries
they
have
their
own.
C
C
They
have
around
39
or
40
officers
for
the
for
the
campus,
but
I
will
point
out
that
they're.
C
Do
downtown
patrol
and
and
patrols
down
around
wiley
street
to
relieve
some
of.
C
The
the
complaints
that
we
got
about
homeless
individuals
hanging
out
in
those
in
that.
C
C
C
G
C
C
If
we
have
something
where
we
need
assistance,
if
they're
available,
they
will
help,
and
vice
versa,.
G
They
been
tasked
with
so
they
we
have
two
new
ones
that
are
still
we're
still
kind
of
it's
in.
C
A
growing
process
trying
to
figure
out
kind
of
how
they
all
fit
in
melissa
stone
our
our
lead.
C
C
To
have
them
take
over
the
call,
because
it
it
really
fits
more
in
their
their
bailiwick.
C
That
is
either
going
to
require
a
lot
of
time
with
someone
who
might
need
services
or
need
help.
D
000,
that's
about
four
and
a
half
percent
are
some
of
those
call
calls
then.
C
D
It
appears
to
be
yeah
and
in
terms
of
longevity
pay.
Well,
let's,
let's
take
a
step
back,
we
were.
D
Talking
about
what
comparators
cities
would
be
appropriate
for
bloomington,
we
talked
about.
D
Clea
certified
and
councilmember
smith
wrote
described
a
number
of
them.
I
note
that.
D
Many
of
them
have
wages
about
ten
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
more
than
our
base
salary
for.
D
Officers
does
that
comport
with
what
you
your
understanding,
is
of
those
cities.
I
I
am
aware.
C
That
there
are
cities
that
have
a
higher
base
pay,
and
I
also
know
that
there
are,
when
you
start.
C
Looking
at
other
benefits,
a
lot
of
other
cities
have
longevity
pay,
a
lot
of
other.
C
We
we
don't
have
an
incentive
for
that,
we
don't
have.
You
know
there
are
specialty.
C
Pays
if
you
have
certain
specialties
within
the
department,
I
know
other
agencies
do
that
as
well.
C
C
C
I
have
heard
that
yes,
I've
heard
that
mentioned
before.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
Council
members
gavaluri,
yes,
thank
you.
I
would
like
to
circle
back
to
add
on
to
something
council.
H
C
C
We
have
a
city
police,
they
they
work
more
in
rural
counties
and
do
a
lot
of
a
lot
more.
C
Highway
and
traffic
type
activity,
the
sheriff,
obviously
his
jurisdiction
is
the
the
area
outside.
C
C
Is
their
responsibility
as
department
of
natural
resources,
property,
which
is
lake
monroe.
C
C
H
Helpful,
thank
you.
I
have
one
more
question,
but
I'll
hold
it
because
I
might
need
some
time
so.
H
How
how
is
bpd
going
to
ramp
up
for
this?
Let's
say:
half
the
proposed
areas
or
two-thirds.
C
C
That
we
have
produced
that
based
upon
each
area
of
annexation,
about
how
many
additional
officers.
C
C
Area
the
area
size
and
so
again,
that's
that
is
something
that
we
are
anticipating.
G
G
Have
managed
to
recruit
from
some
other
jurisdiction,
but
what
are
the
challenges
with
even.
G
C
Challenge
you
know
the
indiana
law
enforcement
academy
is
where
we
have
to
send
people
that
are.
C
Not
already
certified
they
shut
down
last
year
during
cohen,
they
actually
shut
down
earlier
this.
C
C
More
people
because
it
will
take
longer
the
the
academy
class,
if
I
remember
correctly,.
C
And
so
that's
a
lot
of
training
you
know
and
that's
after
we
hire
them
so
the
the
process
that.
C
That
you
were
referencing
happened
just
two
weeks
ago.
I
believe
it
was.
C
So
that
process
takes
a
couple
of
months
because
we
have
to
do.
C
C
For
an
academy
class
to
start
because
they
only
do
it
so
many
times
a
year,
so
you're
look
it.
A
Councilmember
roland
yeah,
one
thing
I
haven't
asked:
I'm
not
sure
I've
asked
this
before,
but.
C
Established
a
one-time
regional
academy
at
a
couple
of
different
places
around
the
state.
C
But
the
indiana
law
enforcement
academy
is
the
only
certifying
academy
in
the
state.
There.
C
Are
offshoots
of
that?
Evansville
has
has
a
a
offshoot
of
that
and
there
is.
C
C
C
Has
not
given
us
that
approval
to
have
not
given
them
the
approval
to
take
municipal.
C
Agencies
they've
taken
usually
college
agencies,
universities
very
interesting.
Thank
you.
D
Yes,
I'm
picking
up
on
new
recruits,
I
understand
in
the
last
cycle
there
wasn't
a
single
accredited.
D
My
understanding
is
that
we
have
hired
67
new
officers
and
we
have
lost
66.
D
D
D
Our
good
training
we
have,
we,
we
have
lost,
we,
we
invest
quite
a
bit
in
training,
so
we
have.
C
And
you
know
they
may
stay
a
year
or
two
before
they.
They
move
to
another
department.
D
By
other
jurisdictions,
well
I'll
leave
that
as
a
comment.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Chief
dickov.

A
Messages
in
the
chat
asking
to
speak
all
right,
let's
just
give
it
one
more
moment.
A
Anybody
else
would
like
to
speak
about
the
bloomington
police
department
budget
proposal.
P
Please
go
ahead.
Okay,
good
evening
I
am
gabriella
esquivel,
an
officer
with
the
bloomington.
P
P
P
P
P
Staffed
and
treated
less
than
we
need
to
do
better
for
the
sake
of
our
low-income.
G
I'm
ready
to
comment
if
there
are
no
further
questions.
I
I
did
want
to
follow
up
on.
A
All
right,
yes,
I'd,
be
very
interested
to
know.
Thank
you,
council
member
volun,.
A
Did
you
have
a
follow-up
question
as
well?
I
did
chief
we've
heard
talk
about
the
relative.
F
Shortage
of
of
staff,
I
mean
you
what
you
started
with.
Of
course,
I
guess
my
question
is.
F
We
hire
temporary
officers
from
another
agency.
Is
there
some
way
to
to
get
temporary
help.
F
C
Have
to
check
with
obviously
with
hr
and
legal
on
that,
of
course,
you
know
we
hired
temporary.
C
Iu
part-time
officers
for
our
downtown
stuff,
but
there's
there
would
have
there's
a
lot
that.
C
C
F
Understand
that
what
I'm
asking
is
because
of
our
high
standards,
you
know
what
like,
if
we.
C
Like
that,
what
we
would
have
to
do
is
ask
probably
for
assistance
from
the
state
police.
C
C
C
With
probably
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
about
how
we
would
proceed
with
something
like.
F
Of
of
sworn
officers
on
duty
or
at
least
employed
by
the
city,
is
it
too
few.
A
A
legal
question,
but
considering
the
staffing
shortage
and
the
the
comparatively
low
salaries.
C
Know
all
of
the
steps
involved
in
that,
but
I
do
believe
that
I
do
believe
we
could
do
that.
D
Council
chair
that
was
addressed
last
evening,
philippe
gothary
corporate
council
indicated.
A
K
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Well,
let's
move
to
final
comments
on
the
bpd
budget
request
and
council.
A
G
G
That
there
were
problems
in
the
bloomington
police
department
surrounding
recruiting
and
training.
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
D
D
Fundamental
obligation
of
city
government
is
for
public
safety
and,
in
that
point
of
agreement,.
D
Of
agreement
with
him
this
proposal,
however,
our
budget
fails
in
that
obligation.
What
we.
D
Are
lacking
are
sworn
officers.
We
are
not
lacking
community
service
specialists.
D
With
limited
roles
in
limited
hours
to
raise,
the
authorization
to
105,
as
he
proposes,
is
the.
D
D
D
And
we
rank
68th
in
pay,
so
we
can't
hire
and
retain
officers
under
these
circumstances,.
D
D
Administration
has
indicated
that
our
funds
could
be
utilized
for
this.
I
haven't
even
touched
on.
D
You
know
the
need
for
facilities,
but
let's
begin
first
by
investing
in
people.
Thank
you.
A
Council
member
sims,
thank
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
our
community
members
for
their
comments.
K
That
we
heard
this
evening
and
the
robust
discussion-
this
is
my
comments.
A
A
Thank
you
I'll
start
where
council
member
rallo
did
in
his
mayor
hamilton's
remarks.
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
J
J
There's
a
movement
from
the
administration
to
increase
the
salaries.
5000
is
fine.
J
You
know
that's
great
whatever
it
takes
the
market,
what
the
what
it
takes
in
the
market.
J
To
attract
and
retain
our
our
well-trained
officers
is
really
important,
so
I
will
be
voting.
J
Tonight
on
this-
and
I
hope
in
the
final
version,
I
will
see
an
increase
in
the
salary.
Thank
you.
I
I
Some
follow-ups
to
be
sure
on
a
number
of
fronts,
including
the
question
I
asked
earlier.
I
And
unpacking
that
a
little
more
and
asking
some
questions
about
best
practices
that
other.
I
Police
force,
I
mentioned
salaries,
compensation,
competitiveness
and
then
also
sort
of
workload.
I
And
how
we
can
address
both
of
those
things
as
sort
of
variables
in
the
equation
of
what's.
I
Causing
current
strain
on
the
police
department,
so
the
second
one
again,
I
think
we
have
some.
I
I
I
I
Political
and
community
values
standpoint,
but
going
back
to
the
compensation
piece.
I
You
know
several
colleagues
just
asked
for
a
five
thousand
dollar
increase
in
in
base.
I
Pay
or
something
like
that,
my
understanding
is
that
would
require
reopening
of
the
fop
contract.
I
A
year
in
advance,
you
know
if
the
administration
and
the
fop
both
wanted
to
do.
I
That
or
had
some
common
understanding
around
where
they
would
go
with
that.
I
don't
know
if
that.
I
I
I
think
what
the
mayor
has
proposed
with
250
000
funds
to
address
potential
incentives.
I
That
could
they
could
look
at
that
compensation
piece
in
the
interim
is,
is
maybe
his
effort
to.
I
To
do
that
in
a
way
that
doesn't
reopen
the
contract
with
the
union,
but.
I
I'm
not
sure
that
is
compelling
to
folks.
So
I'm
I'm
very
interested
and
curious
to
continue
the.
I
Conversation
as
well
with
my
colleagues
with
the
administration
and
continue
to
explore
a.
I
Variety
of
aspects
here
so
I'll
have
staying
tonight
and
thanks
again
for
everybody
for.
F
Yes,
I
see
two
primary
issues
at
this
moment
that
affect
the
police
department.
F
F
F
F
There
is
the
obvious
issue
that
our
salaries
have
fallen
to
one
of
the.
F
Lowest
in
the
state
for
comparable
cities,
you
know
it's
nothing
to
be
proud
of.
F
This
one
is
much
more
nebulous,
you
know,
there's
certainly
I
mean
in
many
other
cities.
F
The
city
seemed
to
have
been
getting
along-
okay,
at
least
in
my
time
on
council.
So
these.
F
It
makes
whether
we
add
the
line
evidence
back.
The
five
officers
are
there
if
it
makes
everybody.
F
F
A
A
Do
we
not
have
a
more
comparable
compensation
package
to
other
communities.
A
It
was
very
hard
fought
and
I
don't
I
wasn't
party
to
it.
I
don't
know
you
know
what
went
down
for.
A
A
A
The
skills
they
learned
with
us
elsewhere,
so
I
I
think
it
is
a
big
problem.
A
At
the
same
time,
I
I
do
want
to
speak
up
for
non-sworn
personnel
in.
A
A
Have
the
same
incidents
here
which,
thankfully
we
have
not
so
far,
so
I
think
that
there
is.
A
A
an
important
role
to
be
played
by
non-sworn
officers
who
do
not
carry
that
uniform
and
that.
A
That
burden
of
racism-
and
you
know,
can
can
intervene
in
many
situations
where.
A
The
budget
proposal,
but
the
salaries
I
do
think
we
need
to
fix
them
earlier
than.
R
I
I
know
I'm
sorry,
I
never
really
know
when
to
raise
my
hand,
I
appreciate
the
comments.
R
R
R
R
This
so
first,
I
would
say
I
am
concerned,
like
everyone
else
here,
about
the
compensation
and.
R
R
And
I
think
that's
just
not
at
all
competitive,
I
mean
this
is
a
great
place
to
live,
but
it's.
R
Picture,
I
think
you
know,
I
think
council
member
flaherty
touched
on
this
public.
R
R
A
All
right,
thank
you.
I
think
we've
all
had
an
opportunity
for
council
comments,
so
I'm.
