Minneapolis Public Safety, Civil Rights and Emergency Management Committee Meeting
A
Right
good
afternoon,
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
meeting
of
the
public
safety
civil
rights
and
emergency
management
committee
meeting
today
is
August
the
6
2014
I'm
councilmember
blong
yang,
chair
of
this
committee
with
me
today.
Our
council
members,
Reich
Gordon
and
Council
President
Johnson.
A
We
have
a
number
of
items
on
the
agenda,
but
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
say
something:
maybe
a
little
bit
off
script.
I
know
today
was
Officer,
Scott,
Patrick
funeral,
and
sometimes
we
don't
stop
and
think
about
the
amazing
people
who
do
work
for
the
service
of
the
public
and
in
this
situation,
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
of
silence
to
recognize
officer,
Patrick
and
his
family.
So
if
we
may.
A
A
Our
police
officers
do
amazing
work
all
across
the
states,
and
sometimes
we
forget
about
that
now,
and
it's
really
important
to
you
know,
take
a
step
back
and
remember
that
officer.
Patrick
did
great
work
for
the
city
of
Mendota
Heights
and
it
was
a
tragic
incident
that
happened
about
a
week
back,
and
you
know
today,
I
mean
most
of
our
agenda.
A
One
is
regarding
DNA.
Analyst
second
is
regarding
the
first
48,
the
the
third
and
the
one
that's
going
to
be
postponed
is
regarding
conducted
an
energy
device,
taser
bid.
The
fourth
is
law
enforcement
services.
In
neighborhoods,
adjacent
tcf,
bank
stadium
related
to
the
Vikings,
and
the
fifth
item
is
Police,
Department,
staffing
and
response
times
report
and
so
talk
about
the
first
two
items
really
quickly.
A
The
first
item
is
to
authorize
a
joint
powers
agreement
with
the
Minnesota
Bureau
of
Criminal
Apprehension,
not
to
exceed
seven
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
dollars
for
police
department
to
support
for
DNA
analysts
to
work
on
MPD
cases,
and
this
will
be
referred
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee.
The
second
item
is
to
authorize
a
contractor
agreement
with
the
first
48
television
documentary
series,
producers
for
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
to
be
highlighted
in
their
TV
series.
Episodes
council
members,
any
questions,
yeah
President,
Johnson,
I,.
B
C
You
very
much
mr.
chair,
Madam,
President
I.
We
did
look
at
it.
Costing
was
really
not
an
issue
in
this
case
because
we're
getting
the
analysts
at
cost
and
all
the
costs
within
the
various
crime
labs
are
within
a
fairly
small
percentage,
because
the
rest
of
our
DNA
analysis
work
is
done
with
the
BCA.
We
felt
from
an
operational
standpoint
that
was
a
reason
to
stay
within
the
BCA.
We
have
continuously
evaluated
their
turnaround
time.
Their
turnaround
time
has
actually
improved
over
the
last
two
years.
Now
their
average
turnaround
time
is
28
days.
B
C
Bca
actually
does
all
of
our
DNA
analysis
these
crime.
These
analysts
that
we're
paying
for
are
actually
additional
things
so
that
we
can
improve
our
turnaround
time
and
because,
if
we
change
to
a
different
group,
a
different
crime
lab
of
which
there
are
several,
we
would
have
to
change
our
operational
procedures
so
that
we
would
have
things
going
to
multiple
clouds,
and
we
would
like
to
avoid
that
from
an
operational
standpoint.
C
B
C
A
Other
questions
all
right,
seeing
none
the
move
that
we
approve
both
items
number
one
and
two
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
I
had
mentioned
that
item
number
three:
we're
gonna
postpone
until
the
next
meeting
on
August
twentieth.
So
we're
going
to
go
with
item
number
four
and
that's
to
authorize
an
agreement
with
Minnesota
Vikings
football
LLC
for
law
enforcement
services
in
the
neighborhoods
adjacent
to
TCF
stadium
by
the
police
department
during
the
2014
Minnesota
Vikings
football
season,
games
and
assistant
city
attorney.
A
D
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
a
proposed
agreement
with
the
Vikings,
while
they
are
playing
at
TCF
stadium
for
extra
neighborhood
security
in
the
area
surrounding
the
stadium.
The
University
Police
will
still
handle
primary
security
at
the
stadium
itself
and
I
think
that
we
will
provide
a
very
small
contract,
I
believe
for
canine
bomb-sniffing
capabilities
at
the
stadium,
but
in
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
we
just
don't
know
what
effect
taking
a
professional
sized
football
game
and
putting
it
into
the
tcf
venue.
D
If
you
will,
we
don't
know
what
effect
that
might
have
on
the
surrounding
neighborhoods,
and
so
this
is
a
proposed
three-year
agreement
to
hire
our
officers
at
CAW
to
patrol
those
neighborhoods,
and
you
know
it.
We
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
at
first
inspector,
wait
over
in
believe
she's
in
the
2nd
precinct
is
you
know
she
just
doesn't
know
what
to
expect.
So
this
is
a.
D
We
believe
this
will
provide
adequate
police
services
in
those
neighborhoods
to
kind
of
make
sure
that
any
unanticipated
problems
with
putting
a
pro
crowd
into
a
college,
a
smaller
venue-
and
you
know
the
for
instance-
the
Vikings
customers,
you
know-
is
much
more
of
a
kind
of
a
tailgating
tradition,
and
you
know.
Where
is
that
going
to
take
place?
D
We
don't
know
where
that's
going
to
take
place,
and
so
this
contract
will
provide
the
necessary
police
services
in
those
neighborhoods
around
TCF
stadium,
to
make
sure
that
that
those
neighborhoods
aren't
unduly
burdened
by
the
Vikings
playing
in
TCF
stadium.
It's
a
proposed
three-year
contract
to
cover
the
entire
time
they're
playing
their.
A
F
I,
don't
have
any
questions,
but
I
would
like
to
move
approval
of
this
item.
This
is
something
that
I'm
we've
been
asking
for,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
make
a
big
difference
at
the
time
and
I
think
it
also
sets
a
good
precedent
or
where
we're
actually
following
up
on
a
precedent.
I
guess
that
we
already
said
it's
the
uneventful.
F
What
with
it
at
this
point
anyway
moving
forward,
because
you
know
for
for
these
potential
three
years
when
the
Vikings
aren't
playing
downtown
they're
going
playing
over
in
the
second
word
near
the
University
and
it's
close
to
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
and
we're
expecting
a
certain
amount
of
disruption,
as
well
as
maybe
some
more
businesses
coming
in
and
another
activity
that
might
be
considered.
Positive.
F
E
D
Mr.
chair
councilmember,
palmisano
I,
don't
know
the
full
answer
to
that
question.
I
know
that
that
Homeland
Security
is
I,
think
they're,
usually
a
part
of
security
at
NFL
football
games.
But
I
don't
know
to
what
extent
as
far
as
the
university
police
and
our
police
I
mean
they
interface
all
the
time.
Every
day
and
I
know
that
you
know
that's
a
very
healthy
partnership
and
they'll
be
working
together
closely
and
yeah.
D
You
know
sometimes
problems,
don't
know
if
they're
on
University
property
or
they're
on
city,
property
and-
and
you
know
things
kind
of
cross
those
lines,
but
as
far
as
I
don't
know
what
other
agencies
law
enforcement
agencies
might
be
assisting
in
security
for
that
for
those
games.
But
I
can
find
that
out
for
you
one.
E
Other
question:
if
I
may
and
I'm
not
sure
this
is
necessarily
for
mr.
Osborn,
but
it's
just
a
comment
that
I
think
that
this
is
one
place
that
the
Green
Line
is
going
to
be
very
well
used
it
a
being
at
a
a
professional
event
of
35,000
people
there.
Last
weekend
you
saw
the
capacity
of
the
green
line
maxed
out
for
about
an
hour
after
we're
exiting
the
game
and
I
hope
that
we're
looking
at
that
too,
as
a
way
to
support
both
the
Vikings
playing
at
tcf
bank,
but
also
for
the
Economic
Area
I.
D
A
Our
our
last
item
today
is
an
item
relating
to
the
reporting
back
onto
a
committee
direction
on
july.
Twenty
throw
that
the
police
department
staff
provide
monthly
reports
on
police
department,
staffing
levels
in
each
precinct
and
police
department
response
times
for
priority.
One
two
three
and
four
calls
for
each
precinct
and
Robin
Macpherson's
going
to
come
up,
and
just
you
know,
tell
us
whether
that's
been
done
and
how
that's
been
done
and
take
it
from
there.
C
Mr.
chair
council,
members
I
did
not
plan
on
going
over
the
report
itself
today,
but
that
was
sent
out
this
morning
for
your
review.
If
there
are
any
questions
or
formatting
changes,
I'd
be
happy
to
take
them.
If
you
want
to
just
send
those
questions
or
formatting
changes
to
me,
I
will
tell
you
one
of
the
request
was
for
option
or
four
number
four.
The
four
priorities
to
be
included.
C
I
spoke
with
Scott
Peterson,
who
is
the
person
who
compiles
information
within
IT,
and
he
has
some
concerns
about
that
because
of
the
outliers
he
is
out
this
week
because
of
a
training
and
when
he
returns
he's
going
to
be
looking
at
that
to
determine
if
that
really
gives
us
good
information
or
not.
So
that
is
an
open
item
on
this
report,
but
if
there
are
any
just
general
questions,
the
inspectors
do
receive
this
information.
They
have
it
again.
A
C
Fine,
okay,
yeah.
In
fact,
the
information
that's
on
here
is
the
same.
That's
in
results
Minneapolis,
but
that's
only
an
annual.
You
know
periodic
report,
so
this
will
be
monthly.
I
will
have
it
out
within
the
first
two
weeks.
It
really
depends
on
when
they
get
the
information
from
Scott
Peterson.
Okay,.
B
You
mr.
chair,
miss
McPhearson,
I,
think
I.
Think
one
thing
might
be
helpful
as
I
was
looking
through
this
and
I
appreciate
this
information
and
it
looks
like
we
still
do-
have
a
leg
in
the
4th
precinct
on
response
time.
So
I
just
want
to
point
that
out.
It
looks
like
we're
doing
better
than
we
were
last
year,
though
overall,
which,
which
is
a
good
thing,
but
I'm
volume
of
calls
that's
I
was
looking
through
the
report.
I
was
thinking
because
every
week
I
look
at
the
code
for
statistics.
You
know
when
we've
got.
B
There
was
actually
a
article
in
the
paper
today
about
shootings
across
the
city
and
they
interviewed
perhaps
for
people
all
of
whom
were
assaulted
on
in
south
Minneapolis.
But
then,
when
you
look
at
the
map,
it's
clear
that
North
Minneapolis
has
just
a
huge
percentage
of
the
shots
fired
shots.
You
know
all
the
shooting
calls
all
that
sort
of
thing,
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
the
context.
Then
of
you
know
if
we've
gotta
wait
time
of
10
minutes
longer
for
a
priority
three
in
precinct,
4
than
any
other
precinct.
