today.
Our
accounts
members
right
palmisano,
gordon
in
quincy
and
council,
president
johnson

Let
me
go
through
the
agenda
really
quickly.
Today
we
have
five
agenda
items.
A
Four
of
them
are
consent
items,
and
the
first
first
item
is
a
mutual
aid
agreement
with
the
city
of
Duluth
for
our
Minneapolis
mounted
patrol
services
for
two
thousand,
the
2016
grandma's
marathon.
The
second
item
is
a
contract
with
the
minnesota
sports
facility
authority.
The
third
item
is
the
contract
with
the
minnesota
sports
facility
authority.
The
fourth
item
is
the
same,
but
just
for
a
different
matter,
and
the
fifth
item
is
a
discussion
item
on
tickle
offenses
ruling
report
and
accounts
members.
A
Let
me
take
care
of
some
housekeeping
stuff
first,
and
the
first
thing
is
I
like
to
move
to
delete
from
the
agenda.
Consent.
Item
number
three,
which
is
the
contract
with
minnesota
sports

scale.
Events
in
minor
saying
is
that
just
item
number
three
is
not
ready
to
go
yet
so
I'm.
If
I
can,
should
I
take
a
vote
on
that
clerk.
A
Okay,
oh
so
I'd
like
to
move
to
delete
this
from
the
agenda
any
discussion-
okay,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye,
okay
and
then
I
like
to
also
I
guess.
As
for
my
colleagues
indulgence
on
this,
we
have
some
committee
members
here
who
I
like
to
speak
on
a
matter,
and
you
know
I'd
like
to
just
ask
that
we
considered
that
for
item
number
six,
and
I
will
just
put
that
as
just.
A
What
can
we
call
that
just
comments?
Okay,
okay,
we'll
just

council
members,
any
questions
on
that?
Okay,
all
those

say:
aye,
aye,
okay,
alright
great!
So
we'll
leave
that
at
the
end
as
item
number
6
right.
So
with
that
done,
councilmembers
I'm,
asking
or
I'm
going

favor,
please
say:

any

Okay.
The
motion
carries
right.
A
The
item
number
five
on
this
is
the
ticket
ticket
able
offenses
ruling
report,
and
this
is
a
receiving
report
summarizing
the
district
court
standing
order
on
pre
appearance,
release,
procedures
in
bail
and
any
impact
the
Standing
Order
has
on
policing
in
the
city
and
with
us
today
to
do
the
presentations
are
Mary.
Ellen,
hang
from
the
City
Attorney's
Office
and
deputy
achieve
Travis
glamping
from
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
B
D
A
D
Council,
chick
chairman
yang
and
council
members,
I'm
Mary
Ellen,
hang
I'm
the
criminal
deputy
for
the
Minneapolis
City.
It
turns
off
us
with
me,
as
deputy
chief
Travis
glam
p
I'm
here,
I'm,
just
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
standing
order
that
took
effect,
februari
23rd
that
was
issued
by
Chief
Judge
Peter
Cahill
regarding
some
matters
that
have
to
do
with
pre
release
and
bail,
just
to
give
a
little
context
for
this
order.
D
Excuse
me:
citations
are
kind
of
complicated
because
there
are
two
types
of
citations.
There
are
citations
that
are
court
required
and
there
are
citations
that
are
called
payables.
A
payable,
offense
payable
citation
can
be
either
a
petty
misdemeanor
offense,
something
like
a
moving
violation,
speeding
ticket
running
a
red
light,
and
there
are
some
misdemeanor
payable
offenses
some
of
the
driver's
license
and
insurance
offenses.
This
has
come
about
by
what
we
refer
to
as
the
statewide
payables
list,
and
that
is
authorized
by
Minnesota
statute.
D
It's
609
point
101
subdivision,
for
that
allows
for
this
list
to
be
created
by
the
Judicial
Council,
and
so
this
is
we've
had
a
payables
list
for
many
many
many
years.
I'm
not
sure
when
it
started,
but
offenses
are
placed
on
this
payables
list.
The
Judicial
Council
every
year
seeks
input
from
state
and
local
agencies
my
office.
We
get
an
email
and
we're
allowed
to
submit
input
on
any
offenses
that
are
currently
on
the
list
or
offenses
that
they
are
considering
putting
on
the
list
any
changes.
D
We
submit
those
that
input
and
then
the
Judicial
Council
makes
the
final
determination.
The
payables
list
is
not
just
one
long
list.
It's
basically
broken
up
into
categories.
They
have
criminal
offenses.
Things
like
consuming
in
public
is
a
payable
minor
consumption
is
a
payable
there's.
Various
traffic
offenses
on
a
list,
there's
parking
ordinances
and
they
can
be
both
violations
of
state
law
and
our
own
city
ordinance.
D
Then
we
have
what
are
called
court
required.
Citations
court
required
offenses,
those
are
only
misdemeanor
level
offenses
and
what
that
means
is.
If
you
are
cited
for
one
of
those
offenses,
you
have
to
come
to
court
in
order
to
resolve
your
citation,
you
don't
have
any
other
means
with
a
payable
offense.
There
is
a
set
fine
amount
that
the
Judicial
Council
has
set.
D
So,
when
I
receive
a
speeding,
ticket,
I
can
choose
to
come
to
the
hearing
office
or
to
court
and
contest
that
or
I
can
say
you
know
what
I'm
guilty
I
just
want
to
pay
my
ticket
and
be
done
and
I
can
pay
that
set
fine
and
all
the
required
surcharges
and
I
don't
ever
have
to
make
a
court
appearance.
I
can
resolve
my
case,
and
so
that's
really
the
major
difference
between
a
payable
and
that
court
required
offense
dead
court
required
offenses
can
be
both
under
state
law
and
minneapolis
city
ordinance.
D
So
this
standing
order
basically
really
affects
these
payable
misdemeanor
offenses.
That's
what
we're
really
talking
about
for
any
misdemeanor,
offense
payable
or
court
required.
A
police
officer
can
charge
that
person
by
issuing
them
a
citation.
They
can
refer.
The
case
to
my
office
and
a
prosecutor
will
review
it
and
will
issue
a
formal
complaint
if
appropriate
and
then
for
some
offenses.
This
is
where
the
standing
order
comes
into
play.
D
They
can,
if
its
proper,
they
can
be
booked
into
jail
and
then
the
jail
will
issue
the
charge
through,
what's
called
a
tab
charge
mechanism
in
order
to
book
somebody
on
a
misdemeanor.
So
if
the
court
rules
presume
that
a
person
is
going
to
be
issued
a
citation
unless
what
we
refer
to
with
the
police
and
in
my
office
is
a
rule,
6
reason
it's
the
rules
of
Criminal
Procedure
rule
six,
and
there
are
three
reasons
why
an
officer
can
book
someone
on
a
misdemeanor
offense.
D
The
officer
feels
the
person
must
be
detained
in
order
to
prevent
bodily
injury,
injury
to
themselves
or
another
person
that
they
believe
their
criminal
conducts
going
to
continue
if
they
simply
cite
them
and
walk
away,
or
they
have
reason
to
believe,
there's
a
substantial
likelihood
that
person
will
not
appear
to
respond
to
that
citation.
They
have
a
history
of
ignoring
citations.
D
Have
a
history
of
bench
warrants.
If
an
officer
can
cite
to
one
of
those
reasons,
then
the
officer
can
bring
that
person
down
to
the
jail
and
booked
them
into
the
jail
and
have
them
tab
charge
rather
than
issue
them
a
citation
prior
to
the
standing
order.
The
officers,
if
they
had
a
valid
rule
6
reason
could
book
a
person
on
any
misdemeanor
offense.
Since
the
Standing
Order
has
come
out,
the
Standing
Order
basically
prohibits
people
being
booked
into
jail
on
a
payable,
misdemeanor
offense.
D
So
even
if
the
officer
has
a
valid
rule,
6
treason
under
this
order
from
Judge
Cahill
the
jail
will
not
accept
that
person.
They
won't
be
told.
You
must
issue
them
a
citation
and
release
them.
They
will
not
allow
them
to
be
processed
through
the
jail.
So
that's
really
what
this
standing
order
effects
is
that
grouping
of
payable,
misdemeanor
offenses.
D
Once
the
once
I'm
found
on
the
warrant,
but
without
but
short
of
issuing
a
by
a
complaint,
I
cannot
be
booked
into
jail
on
these
types
of
offenses
sum
payable,
offenses
under
the
state
law.
Again
all
the
driving
offenses
driving,
revocation
driving
after
cancellation
driving
after
suspension,
open
bottle
and
all
the
insurance
careless
driving
unlawful
assembly.
These
are
now
these
are
payable,
misdemeanors
and
again
under
the
standing
order.
People
cited
for
these
offenses
may
not
be
booked
in
the
jail.
D
Some
court
required
offenses
that
are
not
affected
by
this
order.
Our
assault
and
domestic
assaults
obstructing
legal
process
flee
on
foot
disorderly
conduct,
trespassing
public
nuisance,
fellow
Bay,
a
police
order.
Again,
these
are
not
full
list
of
all
the
court
required
offenses.
If
you're
interested
I
can
email
you
the
link
to
the
payables
list,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
find.
Unless
you
know
where
to
look
at
it,
you
can
see
all
of
the
offenses
and
the
various
they
have
lots
of
different
lists.
They
even
have
them
by
city
ordinances.
D
I
mean
it's
it's
very
complex,
but
these
court
required
offenses
if
I
am
trespassing
and
that
same
at
the
University
of
Minnesota
and
I'm.
Trespassing
in
this
is
the
tenth
time
I've
been
told
you
can't
go
to
this
building.
The
officer
can
cite
rule
6
and
bring
me
down
to
the
jail
leaving.
My
criminal
conduct
will
continue
and
the
jail
will
accept
me
on
these
court
required
offenses.
Miss.
A
D
Think,
yes
I'll,
maybe
let
DC
glam
p
talk
to
about
how
they
train
officers,
but
if
the
officer
can
point
to
a
reit
one
of
those
three
reasons.
So
if
they
believe,
even
though
it's
the
third
offense,
this
person
is
going
to
remain
at
the
building
where
they
are
trespass
that
would
be
continuing
criminal
conduct.
So
even
if
it's
their
first
defense,
they
can
book
them
if
they
can
cite
that
or
if
they
have
a
history
of
favorite.
That's
not
defined
so
is
that
to
bench
warrants
is
that
20
bench
warrants?
D
E
Chair
training
is
all
built
around
being
able
to
articulate
and
document,
and
just
like
Mary
Ellen
said
if
we
show
up
for
the
first
time
in
you're
trespassing,
and
we
can
show
me
that
you've
been
given
proper
notice
and
you
say
I,
don't
care
write
me
a
ticket
I'm
staying
here.
That's
good
enough
for
us
as
long
as
the
officer
properly
documents,
those
exact
words
and
can
show
that
so
it's
our
training
is
all
around
a
shin
of
that
why
they
believe
the
continuance
of
the
criminal
activity
is
going
to
occur.
D
D
F
Have
a
couple
questions,
one
is
one's
an
answer.
Yes,
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
have
the
link
so
that
we
could
have
access
to
that
list
and
you're
just
curious
to
see
what
it
is
as
complicated
as
it
is.
I
also
think
that
must
be
them
complicated
and
challenging
for
officers
to
know
what
is
the
list
of
payables
that
aren't
court
required.
So
hopefully,
that's
included
in
the
training.
I'm.
F
Also
curious
and
I
haven't
read,
haven't
read
the
judge's
opinion
in
that
way
in
the
order,
but
in
there
or
do
you
think
you
are
aware
of
what
motivated
this
is?
Does
it
have
to
do
with
court
costs
not
wasting
the
time
or
was
it?
Was
there
a
concern
for
kind
of
consequences
and
collateral
damage
for
people
getting
picked
up
and
booked
when
it
maybe
wasn't
necessary
in
and
that
what
was
the
motivation
behind.
D
D
Commander
Johnson
from
MPD
has
been
actively
involved.
That
is
an
initiative
where
members
of
various
justice
partners,
the
sheriff,
is
there
MPD
is
their
suburban
partners.
Are
there?
The
public
defenders
are
there
and
we're
looking
at
various
areas
too
I
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
are
being
held
in
jail
both
on
felonies
and
misdemeanors
are
the
people
that
that
should
be
being
held
in
the
jail,
that
there
is
a
public
safety
reason
or
some
valid
reason.
We
we
don't
want
people
to
be
in
jail
if
they
should
not
be
there.
D
So
we're
really
looking
at
all
of
this
and
I
think
this.
The
Standing
Order
somewhat
fits
in
with
some
of
those
initiatives
that
we're
looking
at
and
trying
to
come
up
with
different
ways
rather
than
booking
someone
in
jail.
Some
of
the
things
we're
looking
at.
If
someone
misses
their
court
date,
is
there
an
alternative
to
having
to
have
them
booked
in
jail
and
post
bail,
to
get
them
to
come
to
court
again
we're
looking
at
possibly
like
a
sign
and
release
warrant
for
your
first
appearance?
Maybe
you
didn't
get
the
summons
in
the
mail.
D
So
when
the
officer
encounters
you
you'll
be
given
a
chance
to
say:
okay
I'm
not
going
to
book
you
in
jail,
even
though
I
can
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
court
date
in
two
days,
you
need
to
come
and
if
they
show
up
we've
achieved
our
purpose.
They've
appeared.
We
can
hopefully
resolve
that
case
and
if
they
still
choose
not
to
appear,
then
a
warrant
can
go
out
and
the
process
will
play
out.
D
F
Fairness
and
efficiency
and
I'm
a
little
bit
curious
about
the
rule,
6
reasoning,
so
the
rule
6
doesn't
apply
when
it's
just
one
of
the
payable
offenses
that
are
on
the
list,
because,
even
if
you,
even
if
you
thought
somebody
had
a
substantial
likelihood
that
they
wouldn't
respond
to
a
citation
they
they
won't
be
accepted
at
the
jail.
Is
that
right.
D
Jerry
Yang,
councilmember
garden
sort
of
they
rule
six
applies
to
all
misdemeanors,
so
on
a
payable
misdemeanor.
If
the
officer
has
a
valid
rule,
six,
they
can
bring
them
to
the
jail
under
this
order
that
jail
will
not
hold
them.
So
the
effect
I
think
is
essentially
that
officers
are
not
going
to
be
bringing
people
down
even
under
a
rule.
Six,
but
again
I'll.
Let
DC
glam
p
address
that
so.
E
E
The
one
provision
that
we
do
keep
from
this
is
we
are
able
to
transport
somebody
to
jail
if
we
cannot
reasonably
identify
them
and
that
would
fall
under
the
we
believe
they
wouldn't
respond
to
a
citation
again,
you
can't
write
a
citation
to
John
Doe
and
expect
they're
going
to
show
up
so
the
jail
will
allow
us
to
bring
them
down.
They
will
accept
them
briefly
for
the
purposes
of
fingerprinting
them
in
identifying
them
and
then
releasing
them
right
back
to
us
to
either
write
the
citation
or
charge
them
by
complaint.
E
A
F
So
that-
and
this
is
the
jail
that's
operated
by
the
county.
Yes,
so
does
the
county
have
a
different
interpretation
of
Judge
Cahills
order
than
we
do,
or
is
that
the
order
that
it
seems
strange
that
we
could
arrest
somebody
and
detain
them
in
the
car
and
then
we
couldn't
book
them
and
detain
them
in
the
jail?
It's.
D
My
understanding
that
the
Hennepin
County
Sheriff's
Office
they're,
represented
by
the
Hennepin
County
Attorney's
Office
their
civil
division
and
that
their
representatives
have
spoken
to
the
civil
attorneys
in
the
county,
attorney's
office
and
they've
received
advice
on
this
order
and
how
they
should
interpret
this
order
and
again
I
wasn't
privy
to
those
conversations.
So
I
can't
speak
to
that.
But,
yes,
they
have
thoroughly
discussed
it
with
the
county
attorneys
and
the
county
attorney,
as
their
lawyer
has
given
them
their
advice
on
how
they
should
proceed.
Based
on
this
order
from
Judge
Cahill
and.
E
If
I
could
add
to
that,
mr.
chair
and
councilmember
garden,
one
of
the
key
terms
that
Judge
Cahill
used
was
a
definition,
continued
detention
which
signaled
to
us,
and
it
was
kind
of
agreed
that
you
can
detain
somebody
that
once
you
book
them
into
jail,
that
becomes
a
continued
detention
and
that's
what
he
specifically
prohibited.
I
know
when
we
asked
for
clarification
on
the
identification.
That
word
was
those
those
words
were
very
clear,
so
I
think
it's
that
whole
continued
part
that
really
is
what's
being
enforced
by
Hennepin
County,
okay,.
G
Mr.
chair
I
could
be
wrong,
but
the
obvious,
but
not
yet
stated
undertone
here,
seems
to
be
about
about
Jill
reform
and
about
the
absorbent
cost
of
bringing
somebody
and
booking
them
in
jail
for
what
is
otherwise
a
payable
citation
and
I'm
curious.
If
does
this
fit
in
or
doesn't
it
fit
in
with
some
of
our
own
policing
reform
initiatives,
you.
A
E
Mr.
chair
councilmember
palmisano,
so
we
put
out
a
three
page
administrative
announcement
to
our
officers,
spelling
this
out,
and
it
was
actually
done
in
collaboration
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
where,
interestingly
enough,
the
links
is
councilmember
Gordon
referred
to
are
contained
in
this
announcements.
Our
officers
have
real-time
access
to
these
lists
through,
through
the
links
on
our
internal
website,
on
top
of
putting
out
a
detailed,
step-by-step
instruction
guide
for
our
officers.
We
also
push
that
message
down
through
their
supervisors.
E
So
not
only
was
there
an
announcement,
but
there
was
that
kind
of
face-to-face
discussion
at
each
individual
command
through
their
commanders
and
their
supervisors,
and
certainly
each
precinct
then
has
a
community
attorney
assigned
to
it.
Who
is
there
as
a
resource,
and
it's
expected
that
if
you
have
questions,
you
certainly
can
turn
to
not
only
your
supervisors,
but
your
legal
kind
of
advisor
at
the
precinct,
so
there's
plenty
of
resources
available
for
the
officers
in
this
regard.
G
A
D
Chair
yang
it,
as
you
can
kind
of
tell
from
my
presentation,
I
think
people
think
the
world
of
citations.
How
complicated
can
that
be?
It
can
be
extremely
complicated,
sometimes
more
complicated
than
the
sum
of
our
more
serious
felony
offenses,
and
you
know,
I've
been
working
in
this
area
pretty
much
since
I
started
in
the
City,
Attorney's,
Office
and
so
I
understand
all
the
little
nuances
and
form
a
law
enforcement
perspective.
D
They've
never
had
to
hey
they've,
never
had
to
be
concerned
with
is
a
payable
or
a
court
required
offense
what
they
had
to
be
concerned
with.
Do
I,
have
probable
cause
to
charge
this
person
and
then
make
their
decision
on
how
they're
going
to
do
that.
This
has
been
a
very
big
change
for
the
officers
on
the
street
and
we
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
notice.
The
district
court
gave
us
a
few
weeks
and
unfortunately,
it
fell.
D
They
were
very
cooperative
and
we
were
eventually
able
to
get
the
answers
and
then,
as
soon
as
I
had
all
the
information
I
put
that
out
to
my
community
attorneys
and
I,
sent
it
to
DC
glam
p.
So
we
could
get
this
AAA
out.
We
didn't
want
to
put
anything
out
until
we
had
all
of
the
answers,
because
we
I
felt
that
would
just
make
things
more
confusing
if
I
said
one
thing
and
then
had
to
backtrack
a
week
later.
D
But
this
is
the
is
a
really
big
change
for
officers
and
they
now
have
to
know
some
of
these
little
details
that
they
didn't
know
and
realize.
Is
this
a
payable
versus
a
court
required?
And
so
it's
going
to
take
some
time?
I
think
they've
done
a
great
job
over
the
last
several
weeks,
really
adjusting
to
this
and
adapting
to
it
and
I
just
know
from
talking
to
my
community
tourneys.
They
are
getting
asked
a
lot
of
questions.
The
officers
are
not
shy.
D
B
D
Our
first
Precinct
attorney
has
spoken
to
the
business
community
in
and
let
them
know
that
this
is
what's
going
on,
and
this
is
how
it
is
going
to
affect
some
of
the
enforcement
and
again
she's
made
herself
available
for
questions
and
I.
Think
we'll
just
continue
to
that
along
the
way
as
they
attend
more
community
meetings.
If
this
is
an
area
that
the
community
wants
more
information
of
we're
happy
to
give
some
education
and
answer
some
questions
on
how
this
is
really
going
to
affect
their
their
daily
lives.
Thank
You.
G
E
Chair
councilmember
Palmisano,
the
the
easiest
way
quite
honestly,
is
through
a
driver's
license
or
other
government
issued
ID
a
passport
on
both
foreign
and
domestic
from
there.
If
they
don't
have
an
ID
on
them,
we
have
the
ability
to
look
up
their
drivers
license
information
online.
Just
you
know,
get
a
match
with
the
picture
for
juveniles,
it's
a
matter
of
finding
a
responsible
adult,
so
you
can
both
identify
the
adult
and
then
we'll
provide
a
you
know:
identification
for
the
for
the
juvenile.
At
that
point.
E
Beyond
that,
you
know
you
also
have
certain
like
military
ids,
you
can
use
and
it
really
comes
down
to
verifying
the
version
that
you're
getting
from
the
person
as
well
as
to
you
know,
does
their
address
match.
You
can
look
back
at
you
know
former
records
and
if
somebody
can't
tell
you
their
address
but
they're
in
our
system,
you
know
20
times
well,
something's
something's
up
at
that
point,
but
generally
it's
the
government.
E
G
You
and
I'm
curious:
what
do
mistakes
care
mean?
I,
think
it
just
means
that
well
you
take
them
down
and
then
they
don't
get
accepted
in
jail,
so
you
need
to
take
them
back
from
where
they
were
picked
up
and
I
know
that
you,
you
said:
there's
a
lot
of
places
to
ask
and
to
check
in
with
the
precinct,
attorneys
and
stuff,
but
I.
Just
imagine
that
especially
the
learning
curve
here
that
the
officers
will
be
trying
to
do
the
right
thing
but
make
the
wrong
decision.
G
E
Chair
councilmember
palmisano,
that's
what
we're
encouraging
our
officers
to
do
is
if
there
is
a
mistake
or
even
if
the
officers
are
right-
and
maybe
the
mistake
is
in
somebody
else-
maybe
the
jail
makes
a
mistake.
Bottom
line
is
we
want
to
bring
the
person
back
to
the
point
where
they
were
removed
from
or
a
point
of
safety.
E
G
A
Single
MP
just
might
use
kind
of
a
example
here
of
trespassing.
In
the
situation
where
you
know,
person
first
gets
trespassing,
I
guess
warning.
I
mean
they
get
a
warning
first
and
then
after
that
I
mean
let's
say
they
their
second
warning.
I
mean
conceivably.
If
it
fits
within
rule
six,
then
they
can
certainly
be
taken
to
jail.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
A
A
E
The
discretion
lives
with
the
officer,
that's
a
non
payable,
so
they
have
the
opportunity
to
take
them
to
jail
if
they
can
articulate
the
ongoing
criminal
activity
or
if
they
feel
the
citation
will
get
the
job
done.
Yeah
that's
their
option.
Okay,.
B
Mr.
chair
and
one
thing
I
would
ask,
and
so
under
this
ruling-
and
this
is
a
huge
problem
we
have
in
North
Minneapolis
when
someone
is
issued
a
citation
for
no
driver's
license
or
driving
after
suspension
driving
after
revocation
no
insurance.
Those
are
then,
no
matter
what
the
record
is,
that
they've
had
a
hundred
driving
after
revocation
we
just
issue
another
citation
or
what
happens
then.
D
Chair
yang
council,
president
johnson,
we
have
we
thought
about
this
issue
and
we
have
created
some
criteria.
We've
actually
had
it
for
a
while,
where
we've
given
some
guidance
to
NPD
we've,
also
given
it
to
the
park
police
they're
interested
in
this
issue
and
we've,
given
them
some
guidelines
to
consider
and
when
they
encounter
someone
who
maybe
this
is
their
10th
or
11th
time
of
being
stopped
without
a
license
that
they
can
look
at
that
criteria.
And
then,
if
that
criteria
is
met,
they
can
choose
to.
D
Rather
than
cite
them,
they
can
choose
to
refer
that
to
our
office
and
we
can
review
an
issue,
a
complaint
and
if
we
issue
a
complaint,
even
if
it
is
a
court
required
offense
such
as
the
driving
after
revocation,
that
person
will
be
required
to
come
to
court.
It
is
no
longer
payable
by
the
fine
by
us
issuing
a
complaint.
We're
basically
pulling
it
out
of
that
payable
world
and
putting
it
into
the
court
required
world
and
they
will
have
to
come
to
court
and
it
will
have
to
see
a
prosecutor.
D
They'll
have
legal
representation
if
they
qualify
for
public
defender
or
bring
their
own
attorney
and
we'll
resolve
it.
That
way,
and
so
we've,
given
some
guidance
as
part
of
this
training
to
the
officers
for
people
that
they
that
they
see
that
our
repeat
offenders
for
any
payable,
offense
we've
told
them.
D
We
are
very
happy
to
review
those
in
charge
of
my
complaint
because
I
think
that's
an
appropriate
use
of
our
charging
Authority,
because
we
don't
want
to
have
the
situation
where
people
just
think
I
don't
ever
have
to
get
my
license
because
I
don't
ever
have
to
come
to
court
and
they
can't
book
me
in
jail.
No,
we
have
other
mechanisms
that
we
can
use
for
these
repeat
offenders
and
we're
using
them.
Thank
you.
B
A
A
We
will
go
to
our
number
six
here
and
it's
a
comment
period
and
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
start
by
just
saying
that
you
know
we'll
open
it
up
for
comments
and
comments
should
be
held
to
two
minutes,
and
you
know
my
understanding
of
this
is
that
there
are
many
members
who
are
here
who
want
to
talk
about
inspector
free,
sleepin
and
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
for
us,
I
mean
from
what
we
know.
This
is
paid
administrative
leave.
A
H
Chair
members
of
the
committee
I,
don't
know
what
the
topic
of
the
public
commentary
will
be,
but
regardless,
if
it
involves
any
ongoing
personnel
matter,
I
wouldn't
take
any
questions
or
answer
any
questions
or
make
any
public
comments
about
that
at
all.
Just
due
to
the
nature
of
the
data
practices
act,
issues
involved,
okay,.
I
Jerry
and
council
members-
thank
you
for
hearing
us,
I'm
here
today
to
express
my
great
concern
and
anger.
Over
health
inspector
Mike,
free
slavin
has
been
suspended
from
his
duties
after
28
years
of
service
in
the
Minneapolis
Police
Force.
In
that
time
he
has
had
a
perfect
record
with
28
metals
awards
for
his
exemplary
service.
I
Last
year
alone,
he
attended
350
of
the
600
total
appearances
at
community
events
in
the
4th
precinct
free
slave
and
grew
up
in
North
Minneapolis
and
has
spent
most
of
his
career
as
a
street
cop,
mostly
nightshifts,
for
him
to
have
perfect
record
over
28
years
and
still
love
and
commit.
Such
passion
to
his
job
has
nothing
short
of
amazing
I'm.
A
15
year
resident
of
North
Minneapolis
Community
I
have
two
daughters
in
Minneapolis
Public
Schools.
We
have
made
North
Minneapolis
our
home
I'm,
well
aware
of
the
challenges
that
our
community
faces.
I
I
It
is
a
pain
that
Wells
up
from
a
community
that
has
been
marginalized
and
taken
advantage
of
for
far
too
long.
Much
of
the
anger
at
cops
is
misdirected
and
there
are
a
lot
of
great
cops
serving
the
community.
Well,
one
thing
I
know
truthfully:
we
are
all
losers
and
ugly
aftermath
to
Jamar
Clark's
death.
There's
a
lot
of
collateral
damage
that
will
take
many
years
to
heal.
I,
do
not
envy
the
position
that
law
enforcement
faces
over
the
coming
months
and
years.
I
I
also
do
not
envy
the
hard
issues
that
our
city
leadership
is
forced
to
make
decisions
about.
They
have
no
single
right
answer.
One
thing,
I
know
for
certain
Mike
free
slavin
is
the
type
of
person
who
has
spent
most
of
his
life.
Being
part
of
the
solution,
he's
a
true
public
servant
and
all
of
his
awards
and
years
prove
it
all
of
his
awards
over
the
years.
Prove
it
removing
him
from
his
leadership.
A
I
I'll
close
by
being
very
blunt
if
one
of
the
best
cops
among
us
gets
taken
down
and
it
politically
motivated
agenda
in
the
aftermath.
Jamar
Clark's,
death,
I
and
many
other
people
of
North
Minneapolis
will
be
deeply
hurt
by
our
leaders.
I
will
not
reserve
judgment
against
the
city
leadership
the
next
time,
something
bad
happens.
The
firestorm
created
by
Jamar
Clark's
death
should
be
a
lesson
that
we
need
to
learn
from
and
support.
Community
leaders
like
free
slavin,
the
anger
and
hurt
in
our
community
is
not
gone.
I
A
J
J
Two
and
a
half
okay,
I'm
Lisa,
Clements
I'm
from
a
mother's
love
initiative
in
North,
Minneapolis
I've
been
working
with
inspector
free
slavin
for
years,
but
up
we
have
a
closer
bond
now,
since
he's
been
the
inspector
on
a
precinct,
I'm
part
of
the
Justice
Department's
Community
Engagement,
Team
and
I've
been
doing
that
for
18
months
and
I
feel
like
I
wasted.
My
time,
everything
that
we
have
discussed
in
18
months
is
exactly
what
aspect
of
free
slavin
is
doing
in
our
community
exactly
and
that
has
never
happened
before
in
North
Minneapolis.
J
In
light
of
the
Jamar
Clark
incident
or
shooting
inspector
free
slavin
never
stopped
working
in
our
community.
When
the
verdict
was
coming
down,
he
called
me
and
he
said
Lisa.
What
do
I
need
to
do?
I
see
you
need
to
pull
in
all
those
contacts
and
resources
that
you
made
in
our
community,
and
he
did
that.
He
went
to
sat
down
with
the
clergy,
the
business
owners,
the
elderly,
the
grassroots
people.
He
talked
to
the
teachers,
the
students
in
the
schools.
He
did
everything
that
no
one
else
has
ever
done.
J
We
understand
that
this
is
a
personnel
issue,
understanding
but
I'm
asking
you
this,
because
I
know
how
to
gain
gets
played
when
this
is
done.
We
want
him
back
if
we
can't
have
him
as
an
inspector.
We
want
him
working
in
our
community
in
a
capacity
that
has
him
working
with
the
people
in
North
Minneapolis
Community,
when
they
said
they
were
going
to
burn
down
North
Minneapolis.
It
was
his
contacts
in
the
community
that
stopped
that
from
happening
and
I.
J
J
So
if
you
have
to
create
a
storefront
that
he
runs
a
team
out
of
to
stay
in
our
community
and
in
our
schools
and
just
give
me
one
more
sec
we're
doing
inspector
of
the
day
for
the
day
each
month
we've
done
like
four
of
the
seven
schools
and
these
kids
absolutely
love
it.
They
give
roll
calls.
They
go
in
the
squad.
The
dispatch
recognize
them
as
the
inspector
when
they
log
on,
and
you
have
never
seen
this
before-
not
community,
so
just
think
about
finding
a
way
to
keep
him
in
our
community.
Thank
you.
K
Good
afternoon
everyone,
my
name
is
Mari
melander
and
I
live
at
6227
clinton,
hey
John,
I,
never
get
into
this
kind
of
stuff,
so
I'm,
gonna,
I'm,
stepping
out
of
my
comfort
zone
and
I'm,
just
saying
that
publicly
I'm
20
years
in
Minneapolis,
Public,
Schools
and
I'm
in
a
leadership
position
right
now
and
I
know
what
it's
like.
K
When
you
have
a
situation
that
you
can't
speak
publicly
on
so
understand
that
and
I
understand
your
attorneys
advisement
not
to
respond
to
questions,
but
I
also
appreciate
that
you're
willing
to
hear
us
out,
because
I
do
believe
you
guys
have
some
decision-making
authority
in
this.
Whether
you
want
to
completely
own
it
or
not.
You
all
have
influence
and
you
can
exercise
that
influence
accordingly,
and
so
what
I
will
say
is
that
in
my
business
of
education
we
know
the
teaching
is
not
a
science.
It's
an
art.
There
is
no
script.
K
That
I
can
give
any
teacher
and
have
them
go
into
a
classroom
and
be
able
to
work
the
magic
that
magical
teachers
can
do.
There's
two
other
careers
that
are
comparable,
that's
medicine
and
law
enforcement.
It
is
an
unpredictable
reality.
You
go
in
every
day
and
you
bring
who
you
are
not
what
you
are
it's
hard
to
explain
why
some
officers
can
go
in
and
they
can
immediately
de-escalate
a
situation
and
others
can't
it's
the
same
thing
with
teaching
and
it's
the
same
thing
with
Madison.
K
Why
are
some
doctors
and
nurses
so
gifted
it's
the
same
thing
with
Mike?
He
is
so
gifted.
You
can
see
it
and
you
can
feel
it
in
everything
that
he
says
and
does
it's
like
watching
some
of
my
best
teachers.
He
works
magic.
It's
going
to
be
a
very
serious
message.
That's
sent
to
all
of
us
that
are
putting
ourselves
in
these
positions
every
day,
sacrificing
our
own
personal
sides
for
our
professional
sides,
regardless
of
race
or
social
status,
if
he
is
allowed
to
be
removed
from
his
role
as
inspector
of
the
fourth
Precinct
I.
G
L
He
is
a
good
leader
and
I've,
seen
even
how,
when
the
police
officers
come
out
to
answer
a
call
and
how
they
engage
with
the
community,
the
engagement
level
is
even
different.
They
able
to
call
residents
and
people
out
by
name
they
able
to
engage
with
them
in
positive
ways.
They
even
took
call
inspector
free
slavery
and
give
him
information
about
shootings
and
drug
dealing
went
before
that
never
happened,
and
it's
due
to
the
fact
that
inspector
comes
out
and
he
engages
with
the
community.
He
knows
that
he
knows
the
kids.
L
The
kids
actually
wants
to
be
police
officers,
and
that's
due
to
the
fact
of
him.
Having
a
type
of
heart
that
he
has
to
give,
and
they
make
sure
that
there
is
equality
all
the
way
around
and
to
have
him
removed
from
our
community
would
be
a
deficit
would
be
a
deficit
because
he
sees
our
community
and
he
sees
the
people
in
our
community
as
ass.
It
not
as
a
negative
but
as
a
positive.
He
takes
the
kids
out.
He
plays
basketball
with
them.
L
They
don't
have
to
worry
about
when
they
see
a
police
officer
they
getting
on
paranoid
because
now
they're
able
to
engage
with
them.
Oh
because
inspector
comes
out
and
he
engages
with
them
and
I
just
want
you
guys
to
know
that
taking
away
from
my
community
will
bring
more
deficit.
Please
don't
do
that
to
North
Minneapolis.
M
Afternoon
my
name
is
Phillip
Murphy
I
own
the
flower
shop
on
darling
next
to
the
cemetery.
It's
one
of
the
oldest
longest
running
businesses
in
North
Minneapolis.
It
started
life
in
1896.
The
property
was
then
crystal
lake
township.
It
was
an
extractor
by
Minneapolis,
and
you
know
the
life
in
that
area
is
slowly
being
squeezed
out
by
by
this
gunfire,
and
this
is
the
shots
map
that
ended
mid
midnight
on
Monday.
So
the
press
release
last
week
touting
the
huge
reduction
well
that
was
for
the
week.
We
had
all
the
rain.
M
So
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
yesterday,
at
one-thirty,
a
woman
very
pregnant
35th
and
Irving
literally
was
running
for
her
life
with
three
toddlers
bullets
incoming
rounds
went
into
her
house
35th
and
Irving.
So
this
is
what
we
face
very,
very
real
consequences
of
being
in
North
Minneapolis
monday,
I
found
a
new
bullet
hole
in
my
building.
That's
all
seven!
Since
the
fourth
of
July
last
year,
my
clients
I
tell
them
not
to
come
to
the
shop
shop
online
or
call
you
know
if
one
of
them
gets
shot.
M
They're
beatin
on
my
corner:
well,
I
have
to
live
with
that.
You
know
so
things
aren't
so
simple.
Now
inspector
free,
slavin
I
hear
this
I
thought
was
joke
april.
Fools
made
a
joke
something,
but
no
no.
This
is
some
kind
of
bizarre
reality
put
on
us
by
City
Hall
and
it
can't
be
true,
but
it
is
he's
the
only
inspector
we've
had
short
of
tim
dolan.
M
It's
actually
come
into
my
flower
shop
in
26
years
since
we've
been
here
and
since
we
took
that
property
over
from
the
stern
family
which
had
been
there
since
1904
and
so
I'm
aghast
I,
don't
understand
the
dynamics
of
this
loss
to
our
community
and
well
if
he
is
actually
taken
away
from
the
resource
of
North
Minneapolis.
While
it's
going
to
make
life
here
a
lot
more
complicated
for
businesses,
the
kids,
the
police,
the
police,
athletic
lead,
you
go
up
to
the
sock
any
of.
M
I'm
going
to
tell
you
they're,
taking
down
pictures
of
Swat
with
ar-15s
and
they're,
putting
up
pictures
of
kids
in
there
and
that's
because
of
his
presence
and
his
work
with
the
Police
Athletic
League
kids
are
in
there
now
doing
their
athletics
up
at
that
sauk
centre.
You
know
where
it
is
41st
in
dupa,
walk
up
there
and
you'll
see
what
I'm
talking
about
spend
some
time
up.
M
M
C
Good
afternoon,
Jerry
Yang
I
can't
even
believe
I'm
here
and
I
really
am
wants
to
know
about
it,
because
I've
been
on
the
ground
in
northside
for
50
years
and
for
50
years
I've
never
seen
anybody
engage.
Our
community
like
inspector
free
slavin
has
I've
seen
him
do
things
that
no
one
else
has
done
I
caught
off
and
comment
that
our
kids
in
case
I
have
great
relationships
with
the
SROs
by
the
time
they
get
to
middle
school.
C
Something
went
wrong
and
all
of
a
sudden,
the
police
are
the
enemy,
and
is
that
a
target
with
the
inspectors
participation
in
the
middle
schools?
We
now
have
kids
having
relationships
with
the
police
department
that
are
not
confrontational,
not
violent.
There's
nobody
laying
on
the
ground
nobody's
hands
are
up
something.
These
are
people
working
with
our
kids
in
our
buildings
yesterday,
when
I
was
staying
in
from
the
4th
precinct.
C
Someone
who
had
been
inside
said
that
our
new
inspector
joe
said
that
those
programs
will
not
continue
because
he
doesn't
have
the
energy
that
might
head
and
he's
not
Mike
I.
Need
you
to
understand
that
a
lot
of
us
call
him
Mike,
because
we
feel
like
he's
more
our
friend
or
a
member
of
our
family.
Then
he
is
an
officer
controlling
our
community.
He
has
done
so
many
wonderful
things.
C
I
have
had
so
many
phone
calls
about
this
I
can't
even
believe
it,
and
there
are
people
out
here
who
have
been
working
with
him
to
take
guns
off
the
street
and
give
them
to
the
inspector
who
tell
me
now.
That's
the
end
of
that,
because
I'ma
selling
and
there's
no
way
I'm
gonna
have
a
gun
on
me
and
call
another
officer
to
come,
get
it
yet.
We
have
been
taking
guns
off
the
street
I,
don't
know
what
else.
I
can
say.
C
Well,
that
last
thing
that
she
talked
about
the
presentation,
10
violations
and
you're
not
going
to
jail
my
community,
so
smart
they'll
work
that
for
all
it's
worth,
so
it
sounds
like
a
setup.
To
me,
all
I
can
say
is
that
you
stabbed
us
well,
we've
been
stabbed
in
the
heart
by
whatever
happened
at
the
police
department,
because
we
need
the
inspector
and
if
we
don't
have
him,
I'm
really
worried
about
our
summer.
Thank
you.
N
I'm
here
today
and
I'm,
speaking
of
my
own
free,
will
I'm
speaking
for
myself.
My
name
is
Becca.
Free,
slavin
and
I
am
inspector
free
silence.
Youngest
daughter
I've
been
a
member
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
for
28
years
and
for
the
first
time
in
my
life,
I'm
speechless.
N
He
has
done
nothing
but
wonderful
things
for
this
community
is
so
first
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
to
everyone
here,
supporting
him
he's
so
thankful.
Everyone
for
everyone's
support
and
all
I'm
gonna
say
is
that
you
can
try
to
take
my
crew
slaving
away
from
his
community,
but
you
will
not
take
the
community
away
from
him.
Thank
you.
O
Councilman
yang
in
council
members
council,
chair,
barb
Johnson.
My
name
is
Mike
okra.
Some
of
you
know
me.
Some
of
you
are
now
introduced
to
me.
I
run
the
four
streets
alone
for
16
years
now,
since
2000
I've
had
a
lot
of
times
and
a
lot
of
interactions
with
police
officers
in
North
Minneapolis
over
the
last
16
years,
and
every
one
of
them
has
been
instituted
by
either
a
call
from
myself
or
an
incident.
O
That's
happened
on
near
or
around
my
property
until
Michael
free
slave
and
was
I
instituted
as
the
inspector
at
fourth
Precinct.
Those
were
the
ways
I
had
to
contact
with
police
unless
I
have
off
duty,
which
I
have
regularly
that
I
pay
them.
They
have
reason
to
be
there
to.
O
Inspector
free
slavin
is
stopped
by
my
business
to
talk
to
me
on
many
occasions,
even
especially
on
the
busier
nights,
the
friday
and
saturday
nights
to
see
how
things
are
going
what's
going
on?
What
can
we
do
together
to
make
things
better
he's
actually
stood
out
on
a
corner
at
bar
close
with
me
and
observed
the
things
that
we
go
through
just
because
of
the
violence
in
the
neighborhood.
That's
coming,
I
want
to
state
one
quick
incident
that
I
just
ran
into
februari
20th.
O
We
had
a
domestic
abuse
in
our
bar,
a
guy
punched,
his
girlfriend
in
the
face,
my
security,
escorted
him
to
the
door
with
the
girl
and
her
friend.
They
didn't
want
to
press
any
charges.
Everything
know
we
had
an
off-duty
officer
there,
Michael
Geary
on
on-site,
and
he
escorted
them
into
their
car,
got
them
off
the
property
got
them
to
leave.
All
of
this
was
done
without
any
violence
or
any
any
major
interaction.
O
This
guy
had
these
girls
drop
him
off
at
the
back
of
our
lot
and
meet
him
over
supposedly
across
the
street.
At
the
other
parking
lot
I'll,
he
came
through
with
an
illegal
gun
our
parking
lot
and
came
through
and
started
shooting
at
my
staff
as
well
as
our
officer.
There
was
a
squad
out
there
in
the
parking
lot
with
lights
on
at
the
end
of
night,
like
we
always
have
off-duty
officer
in
that
had
just
had
a
confrontation
with
in
the
vehicle
got
him
out
peacefully.
O
This
guy's
got
a
record
with
with
gun
charges
already,
but
he's
got
a
gun
and
he
fired
six
times
at
my
staff
as
well
as
a
Minneapolis
Police
wasn't
gang
related.
It
wasn't
anything
related
to
anything
with
a
bar.
It
was
a
domestic
assault
and
this
guy
has
an
illegal
gun
in
his
trunk,
and
this
is
what
it
did.
The
mentality
is
out
here
in
the
streets.
Is
that
it's
okay
to
be
able
to
do
that?
A
O
P
Jefferson
yang
President,
Jonathan
and
council,
this
could
to
be
able
to
speak
with
you
about
this
today.
There's
no
question
that
when
inspector
free
slavin
came
that
he
changed
intended
to
change
the
culture
and
the
environment
of
the
4th
precinct,
and
in
doing
that,
as
we've
heard
testimony
today,
he's
bought,
it
brought
a
great
amount
of
confidence
from
the
community
confidence
that
has
been
displayed
in
schools
on
the
street
in
different
places.
Confidence
that
was
evident
during
the
protests
around
the
shooting
of
Jamar
Clark.
P
He
saved
our
North
site
from
damage
from
from
all
kinds
of
problems
that
could
have
come.
There
was
no
doubt
when
he
came
to
bring
the
change
of
culture.
There
was
great
opposition
internally
from
the
Union
from
other
police
officers
that
despise
the
changes
he
was
making
that
prefer
to
police
with
force
and
abuse,
then
with
care
and
protection
for
the
community.
P
Q
Jerry
Yang
President,
Johnson
and
council
members.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
this
opportunity,
I'm
not
here,
to
talk
about
mr.
Pennsylvania
officer.
What's
the
proper
name
anyway,
I
just
think
it's
amazing
the
outpouring
of
support.
My
name
is
Kathy
zack
and
I
am
with
safety
triage
and
Mental
Health
Partners
called
stamp.
Our
organization
is
working
to
enable
a
mental
health
provider
to
go
on
911
calls
with
police
way
back
in
December,
one
first
PCO
see:
Commissioner
Laura,
westfall
and
I
went
to
Duluth
to
talk
to
lieutenant
Nagurski
and
DC
Tuscan.
Q
Q
Since
that
time,
duluth
has
received
just
on
May
third,
the
Minnesota
police,
chief's
excellence
and
innovation
award.
This
is
a
statewide
award
widely
sought
after
they
competed
with
all
of
the
other
larger
cities
in
Minnesota
they
have
a
mental
health
provider.
She
is
a
social
worker.
Her
name
is
Anna
filipovic.
Q
She
and
Lieutenant
Chad,
Nagurski
and
Michael
Tuscan
were
the
ones
that
put
this
program
together
in
in
the
article
it
says,
police
don't
have
a
lot
of
options.
They're,
not
the
individuals
are
not
in
danger
to
themselves
or
others,
so
they
aren't
going
for
a
civil
commitment.
They
aren't
intoxicated,
so
they
can't
necessarily
go
to
detox.
Q
The
social
worker
will
help
put
duluth
on
the
right
track
and
give
those
with
mental
illness
the
appropriate
treatment,
instead
of
jail
time,
another
way
to
avoid
the
jail.
Since
this
program
has
been
instituted.
Deputy
chief
tuscan
was
promoted
to
chief
and
the
former
chief
has
taken
a
position
in
tucson
arizona.
I
believe
it
was
a
larger
community.
Q
This
is
what's
happening.
This
is
happening
all
over
the
United
States
often
people
will
say.
Cit
is
enough.
The
DOJ
has
said
that

mental
health

Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Ricardo
and
aya.
My
address
is
622
russell
avenue
north
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
immediate
reinstatement
of
Inspector
free
slavin.
The
concern
being
expressed
here
and
in
the
community
is
powerful
evidence
that
we
can
that
we
are
not
anti-police
book
pro
community
policing
evidence
that
we
are
in
strong
support
of
community
conscious,
culturally
competent
policing
that
shows
up
to
protect
and
serve
versus,
impose
law
and
order
inspector
free
slave
and
represents
that
distinction.
Please
reinstate
inspector
priests
leaving
immediately.
A
Alright

other
speakers
here

Thank
you

indulging
myself

others

terms
of
them,

any
of

business
before

committee.
So
