A
Okay,
perfect
welcome
to
the
march
1st
human

committee
meeting
as
a
result
of
an
executive

E
Lawrence
sorry,
I
was
on
I
apologize.
I'm
sorry,
ottoman
brave
wake,
all
right,
alderman,
simmons,
hi,
alderman,
ravel,
hi
nicola,
just
real
quick!
Are
you
going
to
do
the
roll
calls
or
do
you
want
me
to
do
it.
F
So
is
that
approval
of
our
minutes
yeah?
Okay,
I
move
approval
of
our
minutes
of
our
february
first
meeting.
G
B
And
seconded
simmons
I
braithwaite.
G
E
Alderman,
madam
chair,
I
believe
we
have
denise
parretto,
who
is
the
chairwoman
for
the
parks
and
recreation
board?
I
think
she's
here
to
speak
to
one
of
the
items
on
the
agenda.
That's
all
that
I
have
on
my
list
nicola.
Do
you
have
anything
else.
B
D
H
A
I
I
I
just
basically
wanted
to
give
you
some
context
for
this
and
tell
you
that
I'm
in
support
of
it,
we
were
approached
because
a
park
in
the
second
ward,
where
I
live,
was
requested
to
be
renamed
and
we
were
going
through
this
process
of
wow.
How
do
we
rename
a
park
and
and
what
would
be
the?
What
would
be
the
parameters
or
criteria
for
that?
And
we
began
that
process
and
debated
it
and
really
were
moving
down
a
path
to
set
policy
but
then
covet
hit?
I
And
then
the
request
was
already
on
the
table,
and
so,
as
you
all
know,
that
park
was
voted
and
approved
to
be
renamed
and
co-renamed.
But
we
see
it
as
our
responsibility
to
recommend
policy
to
make
sense
for
the
future,
because
I
think
now
that
we've
opened
the
door
to
renaming
parks.
That
could
be
something
that
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
and
we
just
don't
think
that's
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city
and
then
the
second
piece
of
that
is,
as
we
were
looking
to
do,
the
renaming
policy.
I
I
So
we
got
together
in
this
virtual
environment
and
fortunately,
a
new
parks
and
rec
board
member
had
a
lot
of
parks
and
rec
experience
like
myself
outside
of
this,
and
we
were
able
to
look
at
some
other
jurisdictions
across
the
country
and
come
up
with
something
to
recommend
that
I
think
evanston
can
be
proud
of
and
and
the
reason
I
say
that
that
footnote
is,
as
we
all
know
in
the
last
year
I
mean
the
fact
that
we're
even
home
right
now,
you
know
we.
I
We
know
that
naming
places
is
a
very
special
thing
and
it's
something
that
is
being
revisited
in
a
lot
of
places.
Right
now,
due
to
the
history
of
our
country,
and
so
we
wanted
to
put
a
policy
in
place
that
we
felt
would
put
evanston
the
best
situation
for
the
future.
I
We
don't
see
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
new
parks
built,
but
we
do
see
that
there
could
be
requests
for
people
asking
to
rename
or
re
redo
things,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
put
in
place
a
policy
that
you
know
into
the
future
can
make
it
easier
for
the
folks
that
are
going
to
serve
on
this
board
long
after
I've
retired.
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
this
question
from
you.
Dude.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
your
comment.
That
concludes
public
comment.
Autumn
briefly,
will
you
please
take
hs1.
G
G
Oh
sorry,
so
I'll
move
hs1,
which
is
31-r21
approval
for
the
city
of
evanston
parks
and
rec's
department
facility
naming
policies
for
action.
Second,.
F
Well,
I
just
want
to
say
especially
with
the
parts
of
back
board
chair
here
to
just
say:
I
thought
it
was
a
really
thoughtful
and
very
thorough
policy.
I
really
you
can
tell
the
committee,
did
you
did
a
lot
of
hard
work
on
that
and
I
I
think
it's
makes
a
lot
of
sense
for
the
community
and
I
really
appreciate
your
work
and
I
think
we
should
move
to
send
this
on
to
city
council.
G
B
J
Ottoman
one
of
the
sentences
in
there
to
make
mr
hemingway
it's
outstanding.
We
were
using
it.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
weren't
able
to
do
the
services
just
wanted
to
be
clear
on
that.
For
myself,.
E
I
apologize
ultimate
fleming.
I
could
not
understand
what
you
said.
It
came
through
a
little
distorted.
J
J
A
She's
not
gone,
but
if
you
wanted
miss
beretta
to
I.
B
I'm
sorry
chair,
what's
alden
fleming's
vote,
she
asked
a
question
instead
of
saying,
hi
or
nay,
I'm
sorry.
I've.
A
Hs2
staff
recommends
member
of
the
human
services
committee
accept
and
place
on
file
the
2020
progress
report
on
policing
initiatives.
The
memo.
K
A
G
F
Well,
I
just
had
one
question
it
talks
about.
Let
me
just
find
my
my
little
note
here
that
we
that
northwestern
center
for
public
safety
provides
some
of
the
training
that
our
police
department
received
this
past
year
and
probably
every
year.
F
Oh,
I'm
just
wondering
whether
the
training
that
we
that
the
police
department
receives
at
from
northwestern,
whether
that's
a
pro
bono
kind
of
service
that
they
provide.
C
No
ma'am,
we
we
pay
for
all
of
the
training
that
takes
place
at
northwestern,
whether
it's
africa,
man
or
a
traffic
related
school
they're
number
one
in
traffic,
but
shelly
camden
who's,
the
assistant
director
there.
She
does
from
time
to
time,
give
us
free
schools
on
the
staff
at
command
level,
which
is
probably
the
equivalent
to
five
thousand
dollars.
Whenever.
F
She
does
it
right.
I
just
think
it'd
be
interesting
to
have
that
further
conversation
about
that
about
whether
northwestern
couldn't
make
make
more
of
those
kinds
of
services
available
to
us
pro.
Bono.
C
Yeah,
I
just
have
to
ironically
say
that
I
asked
her
about
a
month
ago.
You
know
seeing
that
we
utilize
the
university
for
a
large
amount
of
our
training
dollars
if
they
could
provide
some
additional
pro
bono
classes
and
told
me
not
at
this
time,
because
they
were
having
budgeted.
A
G
F
Sure
this
is
resolution
34-r-21
declaring
lead
pipe
replacement
throughout
the
city
of
evanston
to
be
a
public
benefit.
Staff
recommends
approval
of
this
resolution.
Declaring
replacement
of
lead
pipes
that
pipe
used
to
construct
water
service
lines
is
a
public
benefit
and
therefore
allows
public
funds
to
be
used
to
replace
the
portion
of
the
water
service
line.
That
is
the
property
owner's
responsibility
to
maintain
and
repair.
This
is
for
action.
A
J
J
I
just
have
a
comment.
I
just
wanted
to
commend
the
dave
stoneback
and
his
team
for
this.
I
think
we've
talked
a
lot
about
equity
and
this
is
something
that
you
know:
they've
done
without
my
knowledge,
a
whole
lot
of
you
know
pushing
on
the
council
side.
So
thank
you
for
making
this
happen
and
I
think
a
lot
of
residents
will
appreciate
it
as
they
try
to
make
upgrades
on
their
property.
This.
G
F
So
staff
recommends
that
human
serve
the
human
services
committee
accept
and
place
on
file
review
of
the
evans
and
police
complaints
and
comments
report,
but
this
is
to
accept
and
place
on
file.
I
move
approval.
J
J
This
audrey
fleming
again,
I
have
a
couple
questions.
I
went
over
to
watch
the
videos
for
these
today.
One
thing
police
chief,
I
will
ask-
is
before
we
used
to
have
access
to
body
camera
footage
they
would.
They
could
email
it
to
us
and
we
can
use
like
a
password
again
and
if
we
could
try
to
get
that
started
again.
That
would
be
helpful,
at
least
for
me,.
J
J
And
I
guess
my
question
has
to
do
with,
or
comment
really
has
to
do
with
the
procedures
we're
using.
So
it
says
that
a
city
staff
called
911
for
a
person
that
was
sleeping
so
more
so.
My
comment
is
that
I
thought
that
we
had
been
working
with
connections
and
outreach
and
some
other
folks
so
that
our
staff-
and
this
is
not
for
youtube,
but
so
our
staff
did
not
have
to
call
9-1-1.
So
if
kimberly's
on
the
phone
or
someone
else,
I
would
like
us
to.
You
know
revisit
that.
J
So
we
don't
have
staff
calling
9-1-1
just
when
we
have
people
who
are
not
necessarily
posing
a
danger
to
someone
and
then
for
chief.
If
you
could
just
make
sure
your
officers
have
some
whatever
kind
of
referral
social
service
agency
information
with
them,
so
that
when
we
do
encounter
people
who
are
you
know,
sleeping
in
public
spaces,
they
can
actually
be
given
some
kind
of
a
referral
versus
in
this
case
they
were
just
kind
of
told
to
move
along.
So
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
for
everybody
involved
and
then
for
2017.
J
I
had
some
issues
with
this,
although
there
was
no
findings
just
again
with
the
same
idea
of
customer
service.
I
I
had
some
empathy
for
the
woman
who
was
in
the
video.
I
think
the
way
she
was
spoken
to
by
our
officers
wasn't
in
the
most.
You
know,
professional
and
welcoming
manner,
and
I
understand
they
were
we're
not
sure
exactly
what
they
were
going
to
find
there.
But
you
know
rolling
up
on
someone
at
one
in
the
morning
and
flashing
your
light
in
their
face
without
introducing
yourself
and
telling
them.
J
So
I
would
really
just
like
us
to
revisit
kind
of
the
customer
service
piece
of
the
police
job
so
that
those
kind
of
simple
you
know,
interaction
and
conversation
pieces
take
place
to
help
with
our
community
engagement
efforts
and
then
the
last
one
was
2001.
J
I
know
that
there
was,
I
think,
a
one
day,
a
written
suspension
or
one
day
or
something
given
in
that
case.
What
I
would
like
to
see
in
the
future
chief
is
if
we
could-
and
I
think
it
mentioned
doing
this-
but
if
we
could
start
to
add
on
our
traffic-
stop
collection
sheets,
the
out
of
car
request,
because
this
young
lady
was
asked
to
exit
the
car
and
she
didn't.
J
I
know
that
happened
eventually
in
this
call,
but
the
fact
that
it
had
to
take
so
long
for
this
young
lady
to
have
her
request
handle
was
a
little
bit
frustrating.
A
F
It
mentioned
that
the
complainant
didn't
feel
safe,
coming
to
the
police
department
to
sign
a
formal
complaint
register
and
prior
to
covet,
I'm
we
used
to
complainants
used
to
be
able
to
come
to
the
civic
center
correct,
but
but
now
since,
if
the
civic
center
is
not
open
to
the
public,
it
is
in
fact
coming
to
the
police
department.
The
only
way.
C
C
L
Other
women,
just
so
you
know
to
committer
glue
and
I
recently
went
down
to
chicago
and
met
someone
at
a
neutral
location
because
they
don't
want
to
come
into
the
police
department.
So
we're
always
willing
to
do
that
to
meet
with
the
complainer.
M
But
if
I
can
have
one
more
thing:
we've
also
with
regards
to
getting
picking
up
complaints
if
somebody
either
is
unable
or
uncomfortable
to
come
into
the
station,
we've
also
gone
and
met
them,
whether
it's
at
the
residence
or
a
place
they're
choosing
to
pick
up
that
documentation
when
reasonable
time
allows-
and
there
has
not
been
a
situation
yet
where
it
hasn't
been
reasonable
and
time
did
not
allow
for
it.
So
if
somebody
needs
to
speak
to
us,
we
they
need
to
be
interviewed,
they
need
to
drop
off
documentation.
H
And
aldermen
ravel
and
council
members,
I
just
pasted
a
link
to
the
complaint
form
process
on
the
police
website
in
the
chat
box.
It
explains
the
whole
process,
including
the
links
to
the
form.
C
F
A
All
right,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
if
there's
no
further
discussion.
A
G
A
D
D
A
lot
of
the
stuff
is
summarized
in
the
memorandum,
but
in
january,
2020
is
when
we
I
completed
the
internal
language
access
guidelines
and
started
taking
actions
to
to
implement
those
those
guidelines
in
order
to
to
contribute
to
the
upper
to
the
operationalization
of
equity.
We
one
one
of
the
items
that
we
call
for
like
in
the
guidelines,
is
contracting
with
a
language
over
the
phone
interpretation
service.
That
also
provides
video
interpretation
service.
D
That
contract
was
actually
implemented
in
march
2020
right
before
the
pandemic,
so
it
came
in
very
timely,
especially
for
a
lot
of
our
contact
tracers,
who
have
heavily
used
the
service.
So
from
april
to
december
2020
city
staff
handle
217
phone
calls
which
equate
to
4
478
minutes.
Eighty-Eight
percent
of
those
calls
were
a
request
in
spanish,
but
also
in
the
memo
provide
a
summary
of
all
the
languages
that
were
requested,
which
include
greek,
french,
creole,
french,
polish,
among
others.
D
We
also
implemented
a
request
form
for
staff
to
request
translation
services
as
well
as
interpret
interpreter
on
live
interpreters
right,
so
for
meetings
that
I
would
say
that
that
request
form
has
become
very
popular
lately.
A
lot
more
of
our
staff
members
are
using
it
in
being
more
mindful
about
providing
at
least
a
translation
in
spanish
for
a
lot
of
the
literature
that
they're
putting
out
last
year.
We
also
translated
our
total
37
documents
among
newsletters
flyers
and
things
of
that
nature.
D
This
does
not
include
any
of
the
translations,
the
amazon
public
library
did,
but
for
this
year
we
do
have
the
goal
of
translating
about
65
documents
that
we
have
identified
as
vital
documents
and
for
this
year,
through
the
good
neighbor
fund
at
northwestern
university
has
earmarked
for
equity
projects.
D
We
have
requested
a
50
000
application
that
would
allow
us
to
cover
professional
translations
of
a
lot
of
our
documents,
so
this
will
definitely
help
with
the
the
documents
that
I
was
referring
to
earlier,
and
a
lot
of
interpretations
for
meetings
as
requested.
D
So,
actually,
as
part
of
those
vital
documents,
are
the
parks
and
recreation
guide
which
we
have
already
published,
translated
and
published.
The
first
edition
of
that
in
spanish.
D
You
can
find
it
in
the
website
and
we
have
also
kicked
off
a
partnership
with
literacy
works
that
is
going
to
be
training,
a
cohort
of
staff
to
look
at
our
online
communication
so
through
our
website
and
making
sure
that
we're
using
simple
language
that
is
accessible
to
all
readers,
regardless
of
their
literacy
level,
and
we
continue
trying
to
build
relationships
with
our
spanish
and
kill
speaking
populations
to
make
sure
that
we
adjust
as
we
go
based
on
the
needs
of
the
population.
A
I
don't
other
than
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
getting
this
done
excited
to
see
it
implemented.
Yeah.
Is
there
any
further
just
from
the
committee
ottoman
reveal.
F
Yeah,
no,
I
think
this
is
really
great
that
we're
making
this
kind
of
progress.
Could
you
just
talk
us
through
what
happened
so
if
a
spanish
speaking
or
well
any
any
anyone
calling
they
call
311
and
it's
clear
that
they
need
somebody
to
be
able
to
talk
to
them
in
spanish?
Let's
say
so:
does
our
311
operator
what
what
happens
with.
D
So
I'm
sure
that
super
really
could
could
give
you
like
the
step
by
step,
but
usually
when
you
do
call
311,
you
have
the
option
to
say
like
whether
you
need
service
in
english
or
spanish
right,
so
in
that
sense
it's
kind
of
set,
but
for
any
other
language,
if
they
need
assistance
in
spanish,
we
have
distributed
documents
to
staff
on
how
to
handle
those
calls
right
so
like
from
like
making
sure
that
they're
speaking
slowly
to
staff,
I
mean
sorry
to
the
caller
and
saying
you
know,
give
me
just
one
second,
I
will
get
an
intro
down
the
line
and
then
they
they
just
have
to
dial
the
phone
number
to
the
service
and
then,
if
they
don't
know
what
language
this
person
is
needing.
D
Assistance
with.
That
is
something
that
the
company
that
we
contracted
with
can
help
with.
They
can
help
identify
that
language
and
then
usually,
it's
kind
of
like
a
three-way
call
and
that
it's
it's
pretty
simple,
pretty
straightforward
and
so
far
the
feedback
that
I
have
gotten
from
the
staff
members
who
have
been
using
this
service
is
that
it's
really
helpful
and
it's
pretty
easy
to
use
yeah.
That's
great.
A
J
Thank
you
pauline
for
working
on
this.
My
question
is,
I
know
this
is
I
think.
Three
years
ago,
two
years
ago,
the
spanish
community
came
to
us
or
latin
community
and
spoke
spanish.
My
question
is:
why
did
we
do
the
guidelines
versus
the
policy?
I
know
you're
very
committed
and
you've
been
really
champing
this
with
staff.
J
My
concern
with
guidelines
versus
a
com
policy
is
that
if
you
know
if
you
leave
or
whoever
leaves
that
this
is
not
really
something
implemented,
also
have
we
talked
about
or
thought
through
financing
long
term
once
the
northwestern
dollars
are
gone
this
year.
D
So
thank
you
for
asking
that
you
know
like
you
and
I
have
had
conversations
about
why
there
were
guidelines
versus
the
policy
and
at
the
time,
given
the
limited
resources
that
we
had,
it
was
recommended
that
we
went
through
guidelines
so
that
way
we
could
adjust
as
we
went
through
the
the
motions
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
and
when
and
what
was
appropriate
at
the
time.
D
D
What
happens
when
you
know
like
paulina
leaves
right
if,
if
and
when
that
happens,
and
like
I
like
I
mentioned
to
you,
that
is
something
that
I'm
very
mindful
of
just
because
it's
a
lived
experience
that
I
have
so
I'm
trying
to
be
very
mindful
about
creating
systems
that
bring
in
other
staff
members
besides
myself,
so
not
making
myself
the
only
one
who's
translating
documents
or
connecting
people
to
interpreters
right
so
bringing
in
the
communications
team
to
make
sure
that
they
take
ownership.
D
Part
of
the
ownership
of
this.
That's
why
I
created
that
like,
for
example,
the
request
form
for
interpretation
and
translation
services.
D
So
whenever
that
request
comes
in
I'm,
not
the
only
one
who
gets
that
request,
I
am
the
main
point
of
contact,
but
I
I
have
backups
when
I'm
out
of
the
office-
or
you
know
like
if
when
I
leave,
then
someone
else
will
be
taking
ownership
of
that,
so
making
sure
that
we're
creating
the
systems
that
involve
different
staff
members
and
it's
part
of
the
larger
equity
work
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
created
the
culture
that
this
is
an
important
work
that
needs
to
be
always
taken
into
consideration
in
terms
of
accountability.
D
D
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
care,
but
you
know
making
sure
that
there
is
a
budget
item.
A
permanent
budget
item
in
in
the
budget
for
language,
accessibility,.
J
And
then
how
are
we
handling
aside
from?
I
know
the
covet
sign-up
sheet
is
in
spanish,
but
how
are
we
handling
things
in
our
health
department?
I
think
there's
only
one
spanish
speaker
there,
if
I'm
correct-
and
so
you
know
how
are
we
making
sure
that
all
those
documentary
documents
are
translated?
People
are
getting
information
there.
J
D
Yeah
so
like
follow
up
once
people
sign
up
for
the
vaccine.
Is
that
what
you
mean.
J
No
just
follow
up
in
the
operations
in
the
health
department
in
general
right,
so
our
health
department
probably
have
been
kind
of
quiet
and
then
we
have
covet,
and
so
I
imagine
we'll
be.
You
know
more
interesting,
more
folks
calling
the
health
department,
you
know
even
past
the
culver
vaccine
and
so
thinking
through
staffing
and
translation,
and
you
know
all
the
documents
they
produce.
There
ideally
are
on
the
essential
list
that
you
mentioned
to
be
translated
through
the
northwestern
money.
D
Correct
yeah
and
we
have
started
translating
some
of
the
emails
email
communications
that
we
have
with
that
we're
automatically
sending
out
right
so
like
when
you
sign
up
you
automatically
get
an
email
that
said
hey,
we
received
your
your
submission.
Thank
you
right.
So
that's
available
in
spanish.
D
Now
I
think
greg
and
his
team
have
been
very
mindful
about
making
sure
that
they
that
they're
thinking
about
that
it
it's
it's
been
a
learned
learning
curve
for
them
and
it's
something
that
they're
definitely
learning
on
the
on
the
fly
for
their
team.
It's
something
new
to
them,
but
they're
trying
to
be
my
as
mindful
as
possible.
D
So
they
have
been
relying
on
spanish-speaking
members
of
staff
when
reaching
out
to
people.
So
that's
one
thing,
but
you
know
that
over
the
phone
interpretation
service
is
really
meant
to
be
that
tool
that
bridges
the
gap,
because
we,
although
we
have
bilingual
people
on
staff,
we
cannot
control
the
quality
of
the
trend
that
interpretation.
D
So
that's
really
what
that
over
the
phone
interpretation
service
is
there
for
and
as
we
continue
doing,
the
internal
equity
work.
That
needs
to
be
done,
especially
with,
like
the
writing
committee,
who
is
working
to
making
sure
that
equity
initiatives
are
operationalized
in
each
department
and
that
we
kind
of
like
have
a
representative
that
speaks
for
equity.
That
will
be
a
bigger
part
of
you
know,
continuing
the
work.
J
Okay,
well,
thank
you
for
taking
the
lead
on
this.
I
know
you've
worked
on
it
for
a
long
time
and
hopefully,
as
you
said,
we
can
set
this
up
as
an
internal
system
that
operates
regardless
if,
if
you're,
anyone
else
are
here
in
place,
and
so
I
would
support
us
turning
this
into
a
policy
sooner
than
later.
J
So
it
is
something
that's
you
know
required
and
inspected,
and
the
community
is
clear
on
our
commitment
and
then
we
can
look
as
the
council
through
next
year's
budget
to
make
sure
there's
funding
also
to
support
that.
K
Alderman,
this
is
kimberly,
richardson,
deputy
city
manager.
I
just
want
to
speak
to
the
policy,
and
I
just
want
us
to
be
mindful
that
we
have
a
lot
of
policies
that
are
on
the
books
that
are
not
always
implemented,
and
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
training
as
well
as
resources.
K
My
hope
is
to
operationalize
language
access,
not
just
as
an
individual
staff
person
within
the
department,
but
every
staff
person
who
is
engaging
publicly
with
the
community
regardless
if
they're
driving
a
refuge
truck
or
they
are
at
a
counter,
should
understand
how
to
communicate
with
the
public,
both
in
english
and
in
other,
so
as
understanding
as
the
accountability
is
needed
for.
Regarding
the
the
term
policy
policy
to
me
is
just
compliance.
I
want
us
to
make
this
as
be
as
part
of
our
culture
that
it's
just
something
that
we
do.
K
It's
not
something
that
has
to
be.
You
know
used
as
a
not
a
penalty
if
we
don't
do
it
correctly,
but
more
as
a
way
of
again
community
engagement
as
a
broader
conversation,
so
having
a
dedicated
fund
to
support
that
work.
Looking
at
how
do
we
look
at
positions
over
the
long
term
about
in
bringing
in
bilingual
community
speakers
into
our
organization
and
understanding
how
we
support
those
individuals
internally,
who
want
to
continue
to
be
volunteers
in
a
way
that
they
are
compensated
correctly
for
their
extra
work?
K
J
Well,
thank
you
for
that
piece.
I
sure
don't
want
a
policy
we're
not
going
to
follow.
I
would
also
want
us
to
make
sure
that
our
you
know,
residents
who
are
depending
on
us
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
them
and
whatever
said
language
know
that
we're
serious
about
it,
and
so
my
concern
again
comes
from
speaking
to
folks
in
the
community
who
have
not
really
seen
that
commitment
from
us,
given
that
it's
been
a
couple
years
and
I
know
we've
transitioned
staff
in
the
equity
department.
J
So
that
is
the
concern
I'm
speaking
of
I.
K
Appreciate
that
and
I
and
I'm
gladly
to
say,
the
equity
apartment
commission
has
also
been
very
strong
in
their
concern,
so
working
with
them.
I
think
it's
more
than
just
a
policy.
We
have
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
do
community
engagement
better
as
a
whole,
so
thank
you
and
and
to
hold
us
accountable,
is
important
and
I
think
the
only
way
that's
going
to
happen
is
if
we
train
our
staff,
so
they
understand
the
expectation,
that's
been
asked
of
them
and
not
just
you
know,
give
them
tools
without
the
training
behind
those
tools.
A
Thank
you
patricia
gregory.
Thank
you
for
signing
up
for
public
comment.
We
called
you
earlier.
I
understand
that
you're
here
now,
if
you'd
like
to
unmute
yourself-
and
you
have
five
minutes
for
public
comment,.
N
Okay,
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
procedures
are
when
a
police
officer
is
called
out
because
of
a
a
gun,
because
we
had
a
neighbor
who
called
us
the
n-word
and
said
he
hated,
he
kills.
He
does
all
that.
Then
he
went
up
the
alley
and
like
interrupted
some
guys
that
were
sitting
in
the
alley
he
fussed
and
cussed
at
them.
Then
he
had
a
gun
riding
on
his
bike
up
and
down
the
alley.
Then
he
threatened
my
son
with
the
gun
and
said
that
he
was
a
dead
man
walking.
N
So
my
son
is
a
a
veteran
he
has
ptsd
and
a
couple
other
things
going
on,
so
we
called
the
police
out
and
the
police
officer
came
and
made
all
the
other
officers
walk
away,
and
he
said
to
me
that
he,
of
course
he
cannot
go
in
the
gentleman's
garage
because
he
didn't
have
a
search
warrant
and
that
if
anything
else
happened
between
us
and
this
gentleman
or
anybody
else
in
the
neighborhood
to
call
him.
N
So
I
that
that
just
was
very
concerning
to
me-
and
so
I
just
needed-
I
I
wanted
to
know-
is
that
the
proper
procedure,
because
then
the
next
day,
another
neighbor
of
mine,
called
the
city
and
wanted
to
know
if
this
guy
was
back
there
breaking
up
concrete.
It
was
at
the
city's
property.
What
to
do
so.
N
She
met
me
in
the
in
the
front,
and
she
was
telling
me
about
this,
and
so
the
police,
the
same
police
officer,
pulled
up
and
told
us
that
this
guy
was
breaking
up,
concrete
and
doing
work
at
his
house
and
not
to
bother
him,
and
nobody
was
bothering
him.
But
it's
just
very
concerning.
I
just
wanted
to
know
the
procedures
and
how
that
works.
A
Thank
you
for
your
comment,
chief.
If
you
could
respond
to
what
we
can
expect
in
the
event,
someone
is
threatening
with
a
gun
using
racial
slurs.
What
whatever
is
happening
with
the
breaking
up
of
the
comment
concrete
and
then,
if
you
could
contact
ms
gregory,
miss
gregory
directly
and
learn
more
about
her
specific
incident
and
how
we
can
support
her.
G
N
Right
can
I
say
something
really
quick.
I
just
want
to
say
that
the
the
situation
was
taken
care
of
after
a
while
we
called
alderman
braithwaite.
He
came
in
immediately
and
and
started
to
work
with
us
and
trying
to
change
the
atmosphere
and
and
to
excuse
me,
I'm
sorry
to
change
the
situation
and
turn
things
around
and
he
did
a
great
job
in
in
helping
us.
You
know
this
had
been
going
on
for
some
years,
as
I
understand
as
I
understood
so
I
want
to
let
you
know
again,
alderman
birthrate.
N
G
Yeah
and-
and
thank
you,
ms
greg-
I
was
just
going
to
share
and
thank
you
very
much
because
the
situation,
all
the
misemas
members
of
the
the
committee
and
anyone
else
that
would
listen
after
this.
It
was
probably
one
of
the
worst
situations
that
I've
seen
in
town
in
in
terms
of
dealing
with
mental
illness
in
a
really
just
long
drawn-out
situation.
So
mrs
gregory
is
correct.
G
We
were
able
to
solve
it
once
everyone
got
on
the
same
page,
the
so
just
to
make
it
clear,
like
the
situation
that
she
brought
up
was
all
I
wanted
to
say
has
been
resolved
and
chief,
I
I'll
let
you
answer
to
the
calls
for
services
in
the
response
of
the
officers.
Thank
you.
C
Yes,
ma'am
yep,
I
did
speak
with
miss
gregory
about
the
incident.
The
young
man
did.
She
was
talking
about,
had
some
mental
challenges,
so
that
played
a
factor
in
it
is.
But
what
you
could
expect
is
the
police
service.
The
officer
was
correct
because
the
guy
had
went
into
his
garage
and
was
being
cooperative,
so
they
just
couldn't
barge
up
in
there
without
a
search
warrant,
but
we
did
track
him
down
and
he
had
like
a
bb
gun
yeah.
C
He
was
using
a
bb
gun
as
a
way
to
threaten
people
and
he
was
arrested.
We
arrested
him
three
or
four
times
and
he
was
eventually
moved
out
of
that
residence
by
his
family.
C
So
I
don't
know
what
happened
when
officer
tamarino
was
there
that
you
feel
was
not
in
the
right
way
done
in
the
right
way:
miss
gregory,
but
when
we
reviewed
it
he
did
he
did
act
properly.
C
N
N
Everybody
feel
and
not
just
me,
but
other
neighbors
feel
as
if
the
police
were
protecting
this
guy
and
allowing
him
to
do
whatever
he
wanted
to
do,
and
he
was
kind
of
using
the
police
to
do
that.
But
then
I
understand
that
that's
the
that's
what
he
was
used
to
doing
like
calling
the
police
out
saying
this
person's
bothering
me
and
that
person's
bothering
me
and
then
the
police
would
come
over
and
deal
with
that
person
instead
of
dealing
with
him.
A
A
C
Yes,
ma'am:
are
we
a
journey
for
the
night
ottoman
or
because
we
are
okay,
because
we
we
were
expecting
to
give
you
all
a
presentation
on
the
dashboard.
J
On
the
agenda,
I
had
asked
city
manager
story
about
it.

she
said
she
moved
it
to
next
month.

Okay,
all
right
so
chief
yeah,
the
two
issues
that
I'd
asked
did
not
hit
the
agenda
and
so,
in
speaking,
we
didn't
have
a
substantial

but

I
we
talked
about
it:
album
simmons
in
the
mayor's
committee
and
I
had
made
the
request
but
didn't
contact
you
or
the
appropriate
staff.
So
the
communication
didn't
flow.
All
the
way
through
the
channel
is
what
I've
learned
so.
