From YouTube: October 17, 2017 Budget Hearing
Description
October 5, 2017 Budget Hearing: 911, Minneapolis Police Department, Emergency Management, Minneapolis Fire Department
A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
welcome
to
the
budget
subcommittees
budget
presentations.
For
this
afternoon.
The
first
one
we'll
be
hearing
from
is
911
hunt.
If
you
were
ready,
whenever
you're
ready,
you
can
go
ahead
and
begin.
I
just
want
to
do
acknowledge
that
as
we're
beginning
here,
I'm
joined
by
council
vice
president
Glidden
councilmembers,
bender
and
Johnson,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
have
council
members
come
and
go
during
this
process
and
ask
questions
as
you
provide
a
pause
if
you
could
between
any
particular
program
slide.
B
Mr.
chair
committee,
members,
thank
you:
I'm
Heather
hunt,
the
director
of
emergency
communications
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
I'm
here
to
present
our
2018
mayor
recommended
budget.
It's
a
very
straightforward
presentation:
here's
our
organization
chart
which
doesn't
change
much
from
year
to
year.
We
have
expanded
slightly
our
training
and
quality
assurance
program
using
in-house
resources.
B
You're
all
welcome
with
our
core
programs.
We
are
the
911
dispatch
center.
We
are
the
link
between
the
public
and
emergency
response
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
receive
911
calls
for
service
and
dispatch
police
and
fire
Public
Safety
response.
We
also
perform
certain
administrative
tasks
and
non-emergency
communications
that
are
related
to
public
safety
in
the
city.
B
B
One
is
that
we
are
at
the
point
where
we
need
to
replace
our
obsolete
9-1-1
logging
recorder,
which
records
all
radio
and
telephone
transmissions
in
the
9-1-1
center,
and
we
need
to
move
to
the
new
platform
of
technology.
For
that
and
the
$100,000
in
2018
is
the
cost
to
develop
and
research
for
publishing
an
rfp
for
that
process,
and
then
the
costs
of
the
equipment
will
be
requested
in
subsequent
years.
B
C
C
I
know,
there's
sort
of
one
of
these
difficult
assessments
of
how
many
of
our
departments
are
we
able
to
fit
in
that
space
versus
in
the
city
hall,
space
and
all
of
that,
and
just
when
I
see
not
to
kind
of
you
know
and
I
also
can't
remember
exactly
your
time
frame
for
building
new
space.
But
when
I
see
the
upgrades
which
are
needed
to
just
ensure
you
know
general
safety
and
comfort
and
all
the
things
employees
need
to
work
well
with
the
new
workstations.
B
So
councilmember
Glidden
threw
the
chair.
I
can
tell
you
what
I
know
and
we
have
been
working
with
finance
and
property
services
to
assess
our
current
space
and
the
needs
of
our
operation,
and
we
have
received
some
proposals
from
old
architects
to
refurbish
and
refresh
the
space
that
we
currently
occupy
in
the
sub-basement
of
City,
Hall
and
I.
D
Mr.
chair
and
council
vice
president
I
have
not
been
deeply
involved
in
discussions
around
the
building.
In
my
first
five
months
here,
I've
been
pretty
focused
on
getting
the
budget
up
and
running,
but
you
know
I
I
think
the
information
that
has
matches
my
knowledge-
and
the
only
thing
I
would
add,
is
that
any
occupancy
of
the
building,
I,
don't
believe,
is
to
occur
until
2020
until.
C
C
A
E
E
Where
there's
you
know,
an
expectation
that
you
get
everything
perfect
every
single
time
and
it's
also
I
would
imagine,
given
some
of
the
calls
pretty
psychologically
hard
to
deal
with
some
of
them
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
on
behalf
of
myself
and
my
constituents,
let
you
know
that
we're
really
grateful
and
appreciative
of
all
the
wonderful
work
being
done
by
our
team
and
Norma.
Thank
you.
A
You
councilmember
Johnson,
that
was
a
well
put
and
I'm
sure
we
all
share
those
same
sentiments.
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
take
a
few
moments
and
if
you
could
some
of
the
investments
we've
made
in
the
last
couple
of
budgets.
I
know
a
lot
of
going
into
some
new
systems
and
I
wondered
if
you
might
be
able
to
contact
comment
on
those
investments
and
how
they're
yielding
results.
Are
they
favorable
or
what
are
we
looking
for
and
just
giving
it
kind
of
a
mini
results
Minneapolis
if
you
can
get
an
overview.
Mr.
B
Chair
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that.
We
have
come
a
long
way
in
the
last
few
years
with
both
of
our
culture
change
initiatives
and
our
investment
in
technology
and
people.
Our
staff
is
doing
a
fantastic
job.
We,
with
the
addition
of
four
staff
that
we
were
authorized
to
add
a
few
years
ago,
we've
been
able
to
work
with
with
that
and
our
scheduling
strategy
to
improve
our
911
call
answer
times
to
where
we
are
now
meeting
or
exceeding
the
national
standard.
Certainly,
year
to
date,
we
are
at
let's
see-oh.
B
We
have
also
invested
in
our
new
priority
dispatch
call
taking
software
that
was
implemented
this
year
and
I
am
scheduled
to
give
an
update
on
that
process
to
the
Public
Safety
Committee
next
week,
but
all
of
our
staff
have
received
certification
training
that
was
48
hours
per
person
of
certification.
Training
in
these
best
practices
call
handling
script
system
and
everyone
has
been
certified
and
we
are
live
now
on
the
system.
B
As
of
a
about
two
weeks
ago,
so
that
system
again
is
designed
to
provide
the
highest
level
of
service,
both
in
gathering
information
that
will
be
helpful
to
the
first
responders
so
that
the
correct
response
can
be
sent
as
quickly
as
possible,
as
well
as
providing
safety
instructions
for
the
callers
so
that
they're
able
to
preserve
their
safety
to
the
best
extent
possible.
While
help
is
on
the
way.
And
so
those
are.
Those
are
two
huge
improvements.
B
We
also
implemented
our
shared
and
hosted
call
taking
system
with
our
partners,
Hennepin
County,
Edina,
Allina,
EMS
and
Hennepin
EMS,
and
we're
on
about
our
third
year
of
that,
which
is
a
next-generation
911
system
that
we
share
among
us
and
that's
working
very
well.
So
we
have
there's
lots
more,
but
those
are
our
major
initiatives.
B
A
That's
a
very
good
to
hear
I.
Think
oftentimes
in
these
budget
hearings
were
only
just
kind
of
focusing
on
what's
new
or
what's
different.
What's
a
change
item
within
a
proposed
budget,
but
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
some
of
those
things.
So
thank
you
for
being
prepared
for
some
of
those
comments
because
it
really
reflects
the
work
of
the
past
several
years
in
the
budget
and
that
this
council
has
passed
and
I
think
we
needed
to
say
hey.
A
G
F
C
C
Right
right,
so
I
think
you're
doing
a
great
job
through
the
ups
and
downs
that
have
happened
with
this
department
and
so
I
really
appreciate.
This
is
a
time
when
calm
presentation,
meaning
maybe
we're
kind
of
going
on
the
track.
We
need
to
be
with
resourcing
your
department
properly.
So,
but
just
to
your
point,
council,
member
Quincy
I
will
say.
Maybe
that
is
a
good
suggestion
for
a
future
budget
presentation
to
highlight
what
have
been
in
the
investments
made
in
recent
years.
F
A
A
Welcome
chief
Arredondo,
obviously
you
have
a
pretty
lengthy
presentation,
so
I
just
invite
members
to
kind
of.
If
we
can
do
this
together,
chief
we'll
be
able
to
kind
of
go
through
a
section
and
then,
as
before
you
go
into
a
next
section,
we'll
pause
and
we'll
see
if
we
have
any
questions
on
that
content,
rather
than
interrupting
in
the
middle
of
the
one
of
your
slides.
But
if
we
can
make
sure
we
have
an
opportunity
to
invite
conversation
at,
as
you
finish
the
section,
this
makes
sense.
Yes,
at
your
walk,
all
right.
H
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
of
Quincy
committee
members.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
today
to
present
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department's
recommended
budget
first
foremost
I'm,
absolutely
humbled
and
proud
to
be
before
you
to
lead
what
I
believe
is
the
finest
Police
Department,
certainly
in
our
state.
Arguably,
in
the
nation
we're
doing
a
lot
of
tremendous
things.
We
are
one
of
the
few
departments
to
have
such
great
work
in
terms
of
our
human
trafficking.
We
lead
their
efforts
in
prevention
of
that
our
domestic
abuse
protocols.
H
Our
city
is
proud
to
be
recognizes
in
terms
of
National
Night
Out
receiving
the
highest
attendance
across
the
nation.
In
terms
of
that,
our
community
engagement
and
our
procedural
justice
efforts,
so
I
wanted
to
to
highlight
that
we
have
a
great
sworn
and
civilian
team
member
that
makes
up
our
Minneapolis
City
Enterprise
here
some
challenges
as
we
look
at
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
certainly
as
I
do
moving
forward,
there
are
still
spaces
within
our
communities
where
trust
has
either
not
been
established
where
it
certainly
has
been
shaken.
H
So
that
is
certainly
as
I
move
forward
as
chief,
that
is
an
area
that
I'm
going
to
make
sure
that
our
men
and
women
focus
on.
We
are
getting
ready
for
the
Super
Bowl
coming
to
town
in
February,
and
so
that
is
certainly
a
local
state
and
federal
partnership
to
make
sure
that
we
represent
our
city.
Well.
For
that,
that's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
resources
time
commitments
will
touch
high,
highlight
that
a
little
bit
here
in
our
presentation
today.
The
other
thing
is
administrative
support.
H
The
expectations
I
have
quite
frankly,
are
that
the
MPD
will
continue
to
be
a
premier
police
agency
in
the
country
rooted
once
again
in
trust,
accountability
and
professional
services,
all
wrapped
up
in
the
procedural
justice
blanket.
So
with
that,
as
you
look
upon
slide
two,
this
is
showing
our
organizational
chart.
H
There
were
some
changes
that
were
made
to
this
organizational
chart
by
myself,
as
opposed
to
last
year's
and,
and
primarily
it
was
more
for
to
get
our
bureaus
more
closely,
aligned
to
also
structure
an
accountability
and
and
to
emphasize
oversight.
As
you
can
see,
with
our
chief
of
staff
position,
we
have
the
community
and
collaborative
advancement
underneath
that
umbrella
I
think
that
was
real
important
to
make
sure
that
those
outreach
efforts
are
closely
connected
to
the
chief's
office
and
the
chief
of
staff
would
do
that
to
other
changes.
You'll
see
is
in
the
juvenile
division.
H
H
Technology
and
support
is
really
taxing
our
agency,
and
so
it
was
important
to
make
sure
that
we
are
focused
driven
on
that,
whether
it's
body
worn
cameras,
whether
it's
data
practices,
requests
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
wants
to
lead
in
the
in
the
of
Technology,
but
certainly
we
need
a
focus
on
that
because
we
are
seeing
as
we
grow
into
a
21st
century.
Policing,
agency
technology
and
support
is
one
of
the
areas
we
want
to
focus
on
as
well
and
make
sure
we
have
support
in
that
area.
H
G
D
F
Mr.
council
president
Johnson
the
decline,
there
is
really
from
a
bond
grant.
We
had
actually
overestimated
in
2017
receiving
$600,000
worth
of
grant
funds.
We
put
in
the
whole
amount
thinking
that
we
would
receive
the
whole
amount.
We
only
received
less
than
had
100,000
on
it.
So
that's
the
decline.
It
was
it's
not
real
money
that
was
received.
Thanks.
H
You
so
slight
port.
You
will
see
some
of
the
MPD
change
requests
as
they
relate
as
they're
broken
down
for
there's
several
listed
there,
but
as
you'll
see
from
whether
it's
Carl's
Maya,
the
the
cars
milestone,
Public
Safety,
camera
system
to
Super,
Bowl
reimbursement
and
all
of
these
again
will
touch
on
a
little
bit
later
into
the
slide
program.
If
anyone
has
any
questions.
H
For
slide,
7
you'll
see
our
special
operations
and
intelligence
division,
really
no
major
changes
to
this
division
or
organization.
What
I
would
say
that
will
be
kind
of
unique
as
we
move
forward.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
technology
strategies,
particularly
gvi.
Our
group
violence
intervention
program,
but
you'll
see
that
for
the
most
part
of
emergency
preparedness,
special
operations
and
our
strategic
information
that
division
has
pretty
much
stayed
the
same.
H
A
H
Chair
Quincy
committee
members
there'll
be
more
conversation
about
that
and
in
just
for
background,
it's
housed
in
that
division
because
there
are
special
operations,
whether
it's
request
from
the
precincts
throughout
the
city,
where
those
cameras
should
be
placed.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
real,
intentional
and
strategic
on
where
they're
placed
throughout
the
city.
So
that's
why
it's
housed
in
that
division.
H
H
Slide
13:
this
is
our
public
safety
services.
This
is
what
we're
looking
at
the
transferring
of
two
sworn
FTEs
back
to
the
general
fund,
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
We
rely
upon
a
variety
of
different
grants.
Funding
these
two
particular
FTE
fundings
were
under
grant.
Those
have
expired,
so
this
is
just
transferring
those
empties
those
two
FTS
back
over
to
the
our
general
fund.
G
H
H
I
I
There's
been
basically
no
shootings
in
the
15th
and
Nicollet
area
since
that
beat
was
put
into
place
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
how
we
kind
of
think
about.
If
we
really
want
to
have
this
community-based
policing,
where
there
are
more
cops
working
on
the
streets,
wouldn't
we
just
simply
need
more
cops
to
be
able
to
do
that
job,
and
why
aren't
we
asking
for
a
significant
number
of
new
police
officers
just
to
do
that?
Would
that
be
better
than
11
traffic
control
people
and
the
warehouse
district
at
midnight
as
an
example
sure.
H
Quincy
councilmember
Goodman.
So
it's
a
very
good
point.
I
will
say
that
just
because,
if
you
have
more
officers,
does
not
necessarily
equate
to
a
decrease
in
crime,
what
I
want
to
do
is
be
a
little
bit
more
smarter,
moving
forward
in
terms
of
how
we're
better
utilizing
our
services.
So,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
clearly
seen
and
at
least
for
the
short
period
of
time
that
our
mental
health
correspondent
has
been
in
place
last
year.
H
I
think
we
received
over
4,000
emotionally
disturbed
person,
calls
which
really
ties
up
a
ton
of
resources,
regardless
of
which
precinct
they're
in
being
able
to
have
a
dedicated
officer
and
a
civilian
mental
health
professional
that
gets
those
officers
and
squads
back
into
doing
what
they
need
to
do.
Whether
that's
community
engagement,
what-have-you.
H
The
other
thing
that
I
I
think
is
important,
is
once
again.
If
we
can
utilize
I
want
to
look
at
in
terms
of
what
our
community
service
officers
are
doing
right
now,
all
of
our
officers
throughout
the
city
or
get
tied
up
on
a
lot
of
report
calls
that
don't
necessarily
need
to
be
taken
by
a
sworn
police
officer.
H
If
we
can
get
those
officers
back
into
service,
that
I
think
that
will
also
help
alleviate
some
of
that,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
smart
with
the
number
of
officers
we
have
I,
don't
necessarily
believe
that,
just
by
increasing
the
number
of
sworn
officers
has
a
direct
correlation
in
the
crime,
you
know
I
just
think
I
have
to
need
to
be
smarter
in
terms
of
were
replacing
those
folks.
The
901
I
still
think
that
gets
us
on
track
to
where
we
need
to
be.
H
I
also
think
that
having
some
changes
in
what
we're
doing,
where
we're
deploying
folks,
where
there's
our
coal
responders
for
mental
health,
you
know
whether
it's
our
community
service
officers
I,
think
we
can
do
some
good
things
in
terms
of
that.
So
I
just
think
we
need
to
I
need
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
we're
applying
the
officers
to
making
sure
that
they're
focused
on
that
public
safety
community
outreach
specifically
and
that
where
we
can
have
these
other
intersections
with
the
civilians
and
other
key
roles
to
apply
them
there.
So
mr.
I
Chair,
so
this
probably
is
going
to
be
a
longer
conversation
as
you
ease
into
being
the
chief,
but
I
just
don't
understand
how
we're
going
to
have
cops,
walking,
beats
and
communities
if
there
aren't
more
of
them
unless
you're
saying,
there's
cops
that
aren't
basically
their
jobs
now
and
could
be
doing
their
job
differently,
which
I
did
not
hear
you
say
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
that
we
could
do
everything
we're
doing
and
then
also
do
more
community
based
street
outreach
by
police
officers.
I
mean
I,
love,
Rene
Allen,
but
I.
I
Don't
really
want
her,
like
patrolling
15,
that
nickel
at
at
11
o'clock
at
night
and
think
I
wouldn't
even
want
to
walk
there
11
o'clock
at
night.
That's
part
of
the
problem,
so
I
don't
understand
how,
if
we
don't
have
more
people
to
do
that
specific
job
where
we're
going
to
get
these
people
that
are
inefficient
within
the
department
to
do
something
different,
and
maybe
it's
going
to
take
a
year
for
you
to
figure
out
kind
of
how
that
works.
H
Quincy
councilmember
Goodman,
so
yes-
and
this
still
and
I
know
your
worth-
is
still
it
still
does
not
take
into
our
still
going
to
continue
to
hire.
We
still
got
two
classes
coming
out
in
2018,
so
we're
still
going
to
continue
to
hire,
increase
our
sworn
strength,
and
so
the
beat
officers
have
been
a
wonderful
resource,
they're
doing
great
things
in
your
ward
and
certainly
across
the
city.
So
that
is
not
going
to
change.
H
We're
still
going
to
have
that
presence
of
our
of
our
foot
beats
out
there
and
engaging
with
the
community,
so
I
think
we
can
do
both
I
think
we
can
continue
to
hire
and
continue
to
build
a
first
911
once
worn
string.
I
also
think
we
can
do
still
things
smarter.
I
still
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
calls
that
our
officers
spend
a
great
deal
of
their
time
out
of
service
on
that
they
don't
necessarily
need
to
be
there.
H
Sometimes
we
are
not
the
most
appropriate
response
for
some
of
these
calls,
and
we
see
that.
Certainly
our
community
is
doing
with
a
lot
of
trauma.
Mental
health
issues.
Quite
frankly,
there's
a
lot
of
just
calls
that
were
just
not
the
best
ones
suited
for
I
will
also
we'll
go
into
a
little
bit
here
later,
when
we
see
the
rise
and
their
opioid
and
heroin
addiction
in
some
of
these
cases
and
the
amount
of
energy
and
resources
it
takes
for
our
squads
to
be
tied
up
on
those
calls
as
well.
I.
H
A
G
H
Was
it
twenty
two
percent
at
one
point
I
think
we're
down
to
like
maybe
12
or
14,
so
we've
lost
a
lot
of
that
with
that
equates
to
in
terms
of
us.
That's
more
sworn
officers
doing
work
that
typically
they
didn't
have
to
do.
We
could
have
had
them
in
those
squad,
cars
doing
some
other
things,
so
that
is
certainly
something
that
I'll
be
looking
at,
but
I
don't.
J
Chief,
I
redondo
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
go
into
detail
about
the
police
cameras.
I,
don't
know
if
this
is,
if
there's
a
specific
section
in
your
presentation
where
you
will
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
on
that
front,
but
I
know
that
it's
it's
a
request
that
we
get
a
lot
from
9th
Ward
communities
who
are
feeling
overwhelmed
by
the
amount
of
criminal
street
activity
that
are
that's
happening
there,
whether
it's
you
know
commercial,
sexual
exploitation
or
drug
dealing,
so
I
get
a
lot
of
residents
asking
when
will
MPD
have
more.
J
H
When
C
it
comes
McConnell,
so
yes,
we,
we
have
several
as
all
of
you,
I
know
or
we're
in
terms
of
our
amaura
system.
Both
fixed
cameras,
as
well
as
portable
cameras,
as
chief
I,
really
want
to
listen
to
and
make
sure
that
the
precinct
inspectors
provide
a
lot
of
discretion,
whether
they're,
interacting
with
their
council
members
listening
to
their
community
leaders,
block
club
leaders
where
it's
best
strategically
to
to
locate
those
cameras.
H
Large
events
in
a
certain
precinct
might
draw
some
of
those
cameras
away,
but
our
number-one,
certainly
my
number
one
focus
is
on
the
public
safety
and
reducing
and
prevention
of
crime.
So
we
we
certainly
place
those
strategically.
Sometimes
we
there
are
times
during
the
year
where
we
just
don't
have
enough
there
they're
being
deployed
throughout
the
city.
We've
had
assistance
from
even
our
Park
Police.
H
It
has
allowed
us
to
place
them
in
certain
areas,
whether
it's
in
near
P,
V,
Park
and
so,
but
we're
really
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
request
for
these
for
the
cars
request
for
these
cameras
that
they're
maintained
that
the
replace
that
their
place,
the
mirrors,
were
they
give
us
in
our
communities
the
best
benefit
to
reducing
crime.
So
when
we
hear
from
the
inspectors
saying
that
you
know
there
is
a
need,
we
certainly
try
to
make
sure
that
we
get
cameras
out
there
as
much
as
we
can
so.
H
Sure
when
she
comes
member
ikono,
my
understanding
is
that
these
would
be
replacing
and
maintenance
for
the
ones
that
are
currently
in
place
and
I'm.
Trying
to
think
of
the
number.
We
have
total
about
224
cameras.
We
have
citywide
now,
so
we
are
again
we're
making
sure
we
put
those
in
the
important
places
within
our
communities
where
we
can
have
the
best
reduction
in
terms
of
crime
and
prevention.
So
so.
J
J
A
H
C
Because
I
had
a
question
and
then
I
had
a
comment
that
I
wanted
to
make
on
this
whole
dialogue
about
kind
of
numbers
of
sworn
officers.
But
just
one
of
your
responses
made
me
want
just
a
refresher
on
kind
of
where
we,
at
in
terms
of
officers
that
are
hired
and
ready
to
serve
versus
authorized
sworn
strength.
C
H
C
All
right,
so
so
anyway,
some
of
what
I
hear
is
maybe
about
you
know
that
Keyes
just
kind
of
where
we
at
in
terms
of
managing
you
know.
What's
still
a
you
know,
high
number
of
retirements
and
other
change
in
the
department,
I
just
want
to
say,
I,
really
appreciated
your
response
on
this
question
around
the
the
numbers
I
just
you
know,
and-
and
we
have
been
adding
quite
a
few
numbers
over
recent
years,
but
you
know
as
I
understand
it.
C
What's
our
sworn
resources
versus
our
civilian
resources
versus
our
technology
resources,
and
all
these
kind
of
things
so
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
continue
to
help
shape
that
for
us
in
terms
of
how
are
we
defining?
What
are
the
things
that
we
want
to
happen,
and
then
how
do
we
have
the
words
to
describe?
C
Are
we
really
meeting
those
or
not
and
I'll
just
say
that,
because
I
feel,
like
often
I'm
with
officers
who
are
doing
their
best
job
kind
of
higher
up
in
the
hierarchy
of
the
police
department
and
I
feel
like
they're
stuck
a
little
bit
in
that
narrative?
That's
just
about
sworn
officer
resources
when,
just
to
be
honest,
you
know,
if
you
get
more
or
sworn
officers,
often
sometimes
you
know
they're
they're
going
to
prioritized
places.
C
You
know
it's
not
like
you
just
evenly
spread
those
officers
around
the
city,
it's
not
how
it
works
and
it
shouldn't
so
so
I
think
your
ability
to
kind
of
continue
to
help
us
to
understand.
What
are
we
doing
that's
different
and
is
it
is
it?
Is
it
producing
some
results,
such
as
adding
the
civilian
responders
around
mental
health,
in
partnership
with
with
police
officers
such
as
the
diversion
programs
that
the
police
department
is
now
working
on
in
conjunction
with
the
City
Attorney's,
such
as
reevaluating?
C
Some
of
the
process
items
which
you
mentioned,
which
is
when
and
where
does
it
make
sense
for
that
officer
to
fill
out
a
report
versus
some
other
personnel?
Who
might
have
the
same
sort
of
skills
to
do
the
job
right
so
anyway?
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
bringing
up
some
of
those
things.
I
think
also
it's
a
little
bit
about.
What
are
the
tools
that
you
help
give
us
to
be
able
to
talk
about.
Are
we
meeting
our
goals
around
safety.
A
A
Speaker
management,
thanks
for
that
I
was
even
trouble
saying
that.
So,
if
anybody
wanted
to
join
speaker
management,
that's
a
helpful
way
and
also
wanted
to
point
out
the
packet
for
today's
slide.
Deck
is
included
in
all
of
them.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
clear
to
folks,
as
they
saw
what
was
in
front
of
them.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
pointed
that
out
so
chief,
if
you
could
continue.
D
K
You
mr.
chair
I'm,
a
tweet
for
me,
other
questions
I
just
wanted
to
this
is
actually
a
pretty
significant
drop
shown
on
this
slide
and
in
violent
crime
and
I
know
you
talked
about
that.
But
do
you
want
to
mention
anything
more
about
what
we're
seeing
and
how
the
resources
we've
been?
Investing
so
far
may
be
contributing
to
this.
It's
pretty
big
deal,
so
we
have
means
you
expect
us
to
get
up.
You
know.
Is
it
3/4
seems
lower
to
me.
H
So
chair,
Quincey,
councilman,
bender,
certainly
violent
crime
is
one
of
those
significant
areas
of
ice.
We've
certainly
focused
on
right
and
I
will
say
that
we've
done
some
outreach
in
terms
of
our
work
in
partnership
with
our
group
violence,
intervention
program,
teamed
up
with
director,
music
aunt
and
her
public
health.
Folks,
sasha
cotton
has
been
phenomenal.
We
have
been.
We
started
this
work
this
year
we
actually
launched
the
GBI
this
year.
H
I
will
say
that
last
year,
between
May
and
September,
we
were
able
to
identify
group
members
who
had
been
involved
with
shooting
or
injuring
folks
with
guns,
I
think
the
number
from
May
to
September
of
2016
was
approximately
98,
or
so,
if
folks,
that
were
injured-
and
this
same
time
this
year,
with
gvi
being
enacted
in
our
city
that
numbers
in
the
40s.
So
we
have
seen
a
reduction
in
that
that
is
significant.
I
rather
see
zero,
but
that
is
certainly
significant.
H
When
we
look
at
the
trauma
the
impact,
violent
crime
and
shootings
have
on
our
communities
in
our
cities,
I
want
to
continue
to
see
those
numbers
down
we'll
continue
to
monitor
the
work
of
gvi.
I
will
also
say
that
our
precinct
officers
are
taking
a
lot
of
guns
off
the
street
they're
recovering
a
lot
of
guns
in
our
city
and
they're
doing
great
work
out
there.
Also
our
communities
are
calling
in
suspicious
conduct
and
suspicious
behavior
we're
getting
a
lot
of
guns
off
the
streets
through
folks
calling
9-1-1
and
alerting
us
to
that.
H
So
we'll
we'll
continue
to
monitor
that
I
think
a
lot
of
things
too.
We
talked
about
earlier
technologies
when
we
talk
about
our
camera
systems
were
also
teamed
up
with
our
private
sector.
Folks,
do
a
great
job
and
in
us,
leveraging
their
abilities
to
to
share
camera
feeds
and
camera
systems
with
them.
So
technology
plays
a
key
role
in
that,
but
you
have
any
reductions
that
we
see
in
violent
crime
is
very
important,
very
key
to
us
and
I
just
hope
that
that
trend
continues
down.
H
Slide
16
we're
looking
at
our
gunshot
wound
victims
by
year.
You
will
see
you'll
see
the
numbers
there.
The
the
blue
bar
graph,
the
170
you
see
there
indicates,
indicates
the
ages
from
0
to
24,
and
the
green
bar
graph
is
the
ages
from
24
up
and
we'll
see.
You
also
see
the
this
slide
just
below
that
it
breaks
it
down.
H
Shooting
victims
by
precinct
and
I
will
just
say
that,
as
you
look
at
by
the
precincts
again
for
at
least
for
2006
17
this
year,
year-to-date
we're
seeing
double-digit
reductions
in
both
the
fourth
Precinct
and
also
second
Precinct.
So
that's
just
once
it
once
again.
The
great
work
I
want
to
mention
that
from
our
gvi
folks,
I
think
that
our
public
safety
and
her
MPD
folks,
who
are
doing
the
work
out
there,
that's
playing
a
significant
role
in
that.
So
just
wanted
to
mention
that
slide.
17
we're
looking
at
current
staffing
levels
by
precincts.
H
H
H
H
However,
in
summer
of
2017,
first
Precinct
officers
in
collaboration
with
mad
dads
and
ycb,
and
the
DI
D
spent
considerable
resources
in
educating
and
handing
out
for
youth
violators
on
Friday
and
Saturday
nights.
We
say:
we've
seen
some
great
reductions
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
our
youth
are
not
targeted
and
being
the
victims
of
crime.
H
Mad
dads
teamed
up
with
di
D
and
they've
done
a
lot
of
great
outreach
work,
whether
it's
Barot
reach
contacts,
giving
out
free
meals,
their
advocacy
and
case
management,
curfew,
education
cards,
smartphone
theft,
awareness
cards
and
so
we're
really
making
sure
that
we
do
some
great
focus
in
our
downtown
area.
As
a
relates
to
our
youth.
H
Slide
20
shows
are,
this
is
also
looks
at
our
mental
health,
core
responder
pilot,
and
that
change
request
looks
at
again
it's
a
nine
month
period
from
2016
MPD
received
over
4000
EDP
calls
or
emotionally
disturbed
person
calls
which
were
up
18%
from
the
previous
year.
88%
of
those
calls
are
from
citizens.
H
This
is
an
area
that
I
really
feel
strongly
about,
and
I
know
that
many
of
you
on
the
council
really
advocated
for
having
services
to
deal
with
those
in
our
community
who
are
suffering
from
mental
health,
trauma
and
issues,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
this.
It's
right
now.
It's
currently
in
both
the
third
and
fifth
precincts,
and
so
we're
looking
forward
to
continuing
that
work.
A
H
K
You
mr.
chair
I
wondered
so
this
from
last
year,
so
this
year
we're
essentially
keeping
the
pilot
in
its
same
configuration
with
the
same
amount
of
resources
and
staff.
Can
you
talk
about
how
you
see
the
future
of
this
program
and
how
we'll
evaluate
its
success
and
what
additional
resources
may
be
needed
to
make
the
program
citywide,
instead
of
just
in
the
two
precincts.
H
Chair
Quincy,
councilmember
bender,
we
have
already
just
from
the
initial
days
and
weeks
of
this
program,
going
on
we've
seen
a
lot
of
important
dividends
in
terms
of
there
have
been
people
who've
been
giving
wraparound
services
the
same
day
of
those
calls.
Officers
have
reported
back
that
a
typical
call
where
they
have
been
responding
out
to
the
home
three
or
four
times
and
a
shift.
Those
those
calls
have
stopped
working
closely
with
cope.
Our
partners
from
the
county
I
also
know
that
trauma
and
mental
health
is
not
just
relegated
to
the
third
and
fifth
precincts.
H
There
is
certainly
need
for
this
citywide.
My
thoughts
would
be
to
to
expand
that.
We
also
know
that
this
has
a
great
implication
in
terms
of
even
are
where
people
are
being
booked
into
our
jails.
I
know
that
that
is
a
concern
for
a
sheriff's
office
of
you
know.
Are
we
housing
people
there
who
are
really
there
because
of
their
suffering
from
mental
health
issues
and
as
a
result,
their
behavior
led
them
there.
H
K
Contributing
them
I
will
note
that
I
over
time.
This
will
be
a
piece
of
both
serving
the
community
better,
but
also
increasing
confidence
in
the
force.
I
hear
from
my
own
constituents
fear
about
calling
the
police
when
they're
witnessing
something
just
because
they're
not
sure
what
will
happen
and
so
I
think
as
we're
able
to
respond
like
you're,
saying
with
many
different
types
of
services
that
that
will
help
increase
the
confidence
in
the
community.
So
I
I
just
wanted
to
concur
that
it
seems
really
important.
H
And
just
to
console
my
vendors
at
the
point.
Even
up
to
this
point,
we've
had
community
members
who've
received
these
services,
who've
actually
called
9-1-1
saying.
Can
we
have
those
cope
officers
here?
They
were.
They
were
a
soft
clothing
they're
wearing
polo
they.
They
just
they've,
already
made
some
some
great
inroads
in
that
so
yeah.
I
Look
at
these
two
areas,
primarily
in
my
ward,
and
could
tell
you
the
multiple
organizations
that
have
a
concentration
of
these
kinds
of
services
in
these
areas,
so
I
think
also.
We
might
want
to
be
thinking
about
it
in
terms
of
over
concentrating
these
kinds
of
uses
in
the
city.
This
is
a.
This
is
what
you
get
is
a
direct
result
of
putting
over
a
thousand
homeless
people
in
one
location
it
becomes
a
again
a
public
safety
issue
when
it
really
ought
to
be
more
of
a
community
safety
and
issue.
I
That's
more
broadly
defined
so
I
think
seeing
this
on
a
map.
I
think
it
opens
the
door
to
talk
to
the
county,
about
the
concentration
of
these
kinds
of
uses
in
certain
locations
and
trying
to
get
there
before
there
becomes
a
problem.
I
know
one
of
the
locations
in
the
Loring
Park
area
has
had
over
a
hundred
calls
for
service.
Just
a
one
house.
One
program
won't
call
them
out,
but
that
means
we
probably
need
to
work
with
the
county
to
have
more
work
done
there,
so
that
law
enforcement
is
not
the
only
response.
Sure.
H
Quincy
councilmember
Goodman
I
agree
with
you.
I
will
also
say
that
as
part
of
this
here,
an
inspector
Wade
has
been
our
chew,
leading
this
year
effort.
There
is
a
committee,
it
meets
and
I
will
I
know,
that's
also
with
our
accounting
folks,
folks
from
cope,
but
I
will
also
check
to
follow
up
to
make
sure
that
some
of
her-
and
they
may
already
be
but
I
want
to
make
sure
is
to
your
point
that
some
of
her
hospital
facilities
and
some
of
the
shelter
facilities,
their
representatives.
L
G
G
Intervention
and
doing
it
in
a
way
that
makes
more
sense
for
a
mental
health
intervention
county
has
been
doing
this
kind
of
work.
I
mean
I
worked
there
20
years
ago,
in
a
program
that
was
out
of
the
crisis,
intervention
Center,
which
was
emergency
out,
was
called
me
up.
Behavioral
emergency
outreach
program
and
that's
what
they
did.
They
went
to
psychiatric
emergencies
and
they
would
be
in
these
very
same
places
until
the
your
you
are
right.
H
C
Thanks
I
just
wanted
to
understand.
When
do
you
think
you
will
have
enough
information
to
kind
of
consider
the
pilot
that
you
move
out
of
the
pilot
phase
and
maybe
then
be
able
to
present
a
more
formal
recommendation
about
what
do
you
think
you
would
need
to
continue
a
program
that
had
these
partnerships
sure.
H
H
Now
the
one
side
to
it
is
certainly
highlighting
that
there
are
many
in
our
community
that
are
suffering
from
mental
health
issues
or
lack
of
services,
but
also
we
are
spending
a
great
deal
of
our
time,
responding
which
way
the
9-1-1
responders,
who
again
may
not
have
the
time
or
the
resources,
or
maybe
the
most
appropriate,
to
respond
to
this.
But
it
certainly
it
is
having
an
impact
they're
there.
H
They
have
their
work
cut
out
for
them,
but
I
think
by
summer
of
2018
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
a
more
chronicle
detailed
list
of
exactly
what
their
work
has
been
in,
telling
and
and
also
I.
Quite
frankly,
you
know,
as
a
council
member
Goodman
mentioned
about
a
call
for
a
hundred
times
within
a
certain
residence
I
think
we
might
be
able
also
show
the
benefit
and
the
fact
that
we've
had
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
several
of
these
individuals
have
had
their
the
wraparound
services.
They
need
to
get
better
and.
C
Have
we
been
able
to
consult
with
any
other
places
around
the
country
as
or
and
has
that
been
helpful
if
we
have
I
I
just
mentioned,
I
had
and
I
know,
there's
other
places,
but
I
had
an
opportunity
one
time
last
year,
I
think
it
was
to
visit
Denver
and
hear
from
some
of
their
personnel
and
sworn
folks
who
lead
that
work.
There
yeah.
H
Sure
what
sequence
placement
Linden
yeah
I
know
that
this
team
has
done
a
lot
of
research
and
looking
at
best
practices
from
around
the
country
and
what
has
helped,
even
in
terms
of
the
entire
system,
so
not
just
policing,
but
in
terms
of
how
its
impacted
our
hospital
facilities,
how
it's
impacted,
our
jails
and
so
from
all
accounts.
This
is
the
it's
a
good
model
for
our
city
to
have
so
but
I
in
terms
of
a
report
back
to
the
council,
I
think
sometime
next
year,.
A
K
You
mr.
chair,
just
to
clarify
my
question
was
really
about
the
financial
sustainability
of
the
program,
because
I
believe
from
last
year
we
had
the
three
officers
in
the
budget
as
ongoing
funds-
that's
continuing
through
the
budget
this
year
and
into
the
future
in
the
five-year
projection,
but
the
one-time
funding
from
last
year-
that's
now
rolling
over
to
this
year,
that
is
to
cover
the
COPE
clinicians
and
as
one-time
funding
that
is
not
built
into
the
sustainable
long
term
budget.
K
So
just
as
we're
hearing
about
the
early
success
of
this
program
and
maybe
thinking
about
sustaining
or
expanding
it,
I
just
was
sort
of
noting
for
myself
that
the
COPE
mental
health
portion
of
the
funding
is
in
the
budget
only
as
one-time.
So
if
we
want
to
continue
it
next
year,
we'll
have
to
either
add
additional
one-time
funding,
or
perhaps
we
want
to
consider
making
this
sustainable
ongoing
funding.
So
that
was
just
my
clarifying
question
was
to
know
for
myself.
Hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
continue
and
expand
this
program,
and
that
means
future
budget
investments.
K
H
H
23
have
asked
in
terms
of
our
investigations
of
forensics,
forensics
or
body
camera
program
expansion
specifically
asking
this
year,
400
more
PwC's
or
body-worn
cameras
to
fully
ensure
that
all
of
our
sworn
officers
have
been
outfitted
with
their
their
own
BWC,
their
body,
worn
camera,
and
then
some
of
those
within
some
of
that
100
would
also
touch
upon
some
of
our
investigators.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
currently
have
some
officers
that
are
not
in
patrol
duties
during
their
normal
duty
time.
H
They're
working,
an
investigative
plainclothes
function
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
so
every
sworn
officer
on
the
MPD
will
have
those
some
of
those
officers.
Some
of
those
investigators
may
also
work
part
time
work
or
they're
back
in
a
Minneapolis
police
uniform
in
our
community.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we're
equipping
those
officers
with
those
okay.
M
You
mr.
chair
chief,
Arredondo
I'm
curious:
have
you
identified
what
resources
you
might
need
to
make
progress
on
the
body
worn
camera
program
for
the
results
of
the
recent
audit
that
was,
after
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
this
last
time?
So
there
were
several
recommendations,
but
is
there
anything
that
you
need
to
help
this
body
camera
program
go
better?
H
H
In
hindsight,
that
was
not
the
best
avenue
to
do
that.
What
I'd
be
asking
for
is
having
full-time
civilians
to
really
take
on
that
critical
function.
Enroll
our
supervisors,
as
we've
had
the
discussion
throughout
the
day-to-day.
They
really
need
to
be
focused
on
the
public
safety
aspects
and
leading
their
people.
This
is
but
it's
a
critical
function
and
there's
obviously
a
large
volume
of
data
and
recording
materials.
We
really
need
full-time
sworn
civilians
to
help
us
in
that
endeavor,
and
so
that
would
certainly
be
an
ask
that
I
would
ask
for
yeah.
H
Slide
24
for
still
under
the
investigations
in
forensics
change.
Requests
here
is
for
a
sex
assault
advocate
pilot.
This
would
be
a
contracted
person
to
work
with
our
sex
assault.
Investigators
to
advocate,
on
behalf
of
victims,
to
provide
support,
more
information,
help
find
resources
and
provide
referrals
for
victims
of
sexual
assault,
help
help
victims,
navigate
the
criminal
justice
system
and
provide
information
on
victims.
Legal
rights
in
protections
as
we
have
been
and
want
to
continue
to
be
a
leader
in
terms
of
human
trafficking
and
other
types
of
areas
were
where
it
really
impacts.
Victims.
H
G
You
mr.
chair
I,
guess
in
looking
at
you
know
what
you're
asking
for
in
this
position
in
this
position.
Most
sexual
assaults
would
be
felonies
right,
so
the
county
attorney
provides
a
victim's
advocate
for
people
involved
in
prosecutions
in
felony
situations.
Why
would
how
would
this
be
different?
I
guess
is
what
I'm
asking
sure.
H
Once
he
comes
President
Johnson,
this
person
would
really
be
embedded
with
our
investigators.
They
would
really
help
them
along
in
terms
of
the
victim
through
the
case
process,
if
they're
embedded
with
us
as
the
MPD,
as
opposed
to
kind
of
I,
want
to
use
the
term
loaned
out
through
the
county,
but
they're
really
a
part
of
our
department
and
those
investigators
doing
the
work
on
a
real-time
day
to
day
basis
I.
H
It
has
a
much
more
greater
in
positive
impact
in
terms
of
of
really
helping
the
the
victim
from
start
to
finish
in
this
and
so
part
of
its
proximity
and,
quite
frankly,
I'm
not
sure
of
how
many
the
county
has
of
those
people
available
to
really
assist
us
with
this
work,
and
so
we've
seen
great
results
with
our
domestic
violence.
Advocates
they've
been
very
helpful
for
us,
and
so
I
see
this
playing
a
very
similar
role,
or
those
advocates
are
working
right
out
of
our
room.
H
G
H
Slide
25
under
investigations
and
forensics
is
restorative
justice.
This
is
a
change
item
amount.
This
position
would
be
to
investigate
opportunities
in
partnership
with
the
Minneapolis
school
district,
to
implement
a
restorative
justice
program,
which
would
provide
diversion
programs
for
youth,
empowering
students
to
resolve
conflicts
and
peer
mediated.
Small
groups
help
strengthen
communities,
prevent
everything
from
bullying,
cyberbullying
reduced
to
reducing
student
conflict.
M
Thank
You
mr.
chair
this.
Actually,
this
question
goes
back
to
some
previous
comments
on
the
note
and
the
topic
of
the
domestic
violence
advocate
resources
that
you've
had
in
the
past
in
just.
Let
me
know
if
this
happens
later
in
your
presentation,
but
my
understanding
is
that
was
cut
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
for
this
year.
It
also
is
a
one-time
expense
that
we
fund
and
find
a
way
to
cobble
together
year
after
year.
So
could
you
tell
me
if
that's
seen
as
an
ongoing
thing
for
2018
or
is
that
are
those
resources
removed.
H
So
would
see
customer
Palmisano,
those
those
resources
have
been
removed
for
2018.
I
will
tell
you
that
we
will
still
continue
to
work
closely
with
some
of
our
community
partners,
DAP
and
others
Casa
de
Esperanza
and
others
to
to
just
really
make
sure
that
we
continue
that
partnership
moving
forward.
They
have
been
incredible
in
providing
us
education,
awareness
and
resources
in
terms
of
how
to
to
really
build
trust
with
victims
to
help
them
navigate
through
the
criminal
justice
system
as
well,
so
we'll
continue
to
reach
out
and
continue
to
work
with
them
in
that
area.
H
M
K
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
on
this.
We
had
worked
together
last
year
to
find
one-time
funding
for
the
domestic
violence,
grant
work.
That
was
actually
the
Health
Department
and
it
wasn't
part
of
any
department
request.
Last
year
or
this
year
it
was
funding
that
the
council
added
on
our
own
I,
am
interested
in
helping
to
continue
to
find
funding
for
domestic
violence
prevention
wherever
we
can
and
I
know
that
chief,
you
and
I
have
talked
about
that.
K
But
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
that
wasn't
ever
in
the
police
department's
proposed
budget
or
in
their
budget
last
year,
it
was
in
the
health
department,
and
we
had
tried
to
ship
someone
he's
actually
from
MPD
into
health,
which
failed
pretty
significantly
in
the
council,
which
was
fine,
and
we
had
found
some
money
from
I.
Think
it
was
the
streetlight
program,
maybe
fire
or
suddenly
being
sort
of
cobbled
together
a
bunch
of
other
sources,
but
there
never
was
a
proposal
from
a
department
chair.
H
Nc
councilmember
bender,
so,
yes,
we
had
a
few
years
back,
really
took
a
deep
dive
as
a
police
department
and
really
changed
lenses
and
took
on
a
public
health
lens.
What
we
had
seen
in
their
intersection
that
you're
referencing
is
it
clearly
I'm
responsible
for
reducing
violent
crime
in
our
city?
What
we
had
seen
with
some
of
our
most
violent
individuals,
we
were
really
kind
of
dealing
with
them
at
that
intersection
when
they
committed
the
crime.
We
made
the
arrest,
we
were
looking
at
charging
and
they
might
have
been
23
or
24
years
old.
H
They
were
showing
up
in
our
police
reports
at
the
age
of
three
and
four
as
being
witnesses
to
family
violence
in
domestic
violence
and
again
at
the
age
of
six
and
seven
and
as
part
of
the
cultural
change
we
typically
would
get
out
there
and
we'd
give
the
victim
was
the
adult,
a
blue
card
and
we
provided
the
services
on
the
back
of
the
card
and
our
officers
take
the
information
that
was
necessary
and
they
believed
when
we
left.
What
we
didn't
realize
was.
H
There
was
more
than
just
one
person
traumatized
in
that
home
and
when
we
allowed
that
young
child
to
continue
to
go
through
that
trajectory
without
reaching
out
and
making
sure
that
they
had
services
offered
to
them,
then
it
became
skipping
school
than
it
became
shoplifting
that
it
became
stealing
cars.
Then
it
became
assaults
and
eventually
it
became
shootings
and
worse,
and
so
we
absolutely
see
the
important
role
in
terms
of
the
dressing,
domestic
violence
and
family
violence
at
an
early
age.
So.
K
H
Slide,
26
really
just
highlights
some
of
the
results
from
our
investigations
in
forensics
team,
some
of
the
important
cases
that
were
closed,
some
of
the
weather,
sex
crimes
or
safe
streets,
work,
processing,
crime,
scenes
and
just
really
shows
the
abundance
of
work
that
has
been
done
with
this.
These
important
groups
over
the
last
year.
C
Thanks
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
ask
a
couple
questions
about
investigations.
I
know
Kenna
over
the
years,
just
as
the
department
has
seen
a
lot
of
staff
reduction
and
in
all
this
kind
of
balancing
between
the
investigations,
personnel
and
the
personnel
that
are
responding
and
in
the
moment
and
that
kind
of
stuff
is,
is
always
difficult.
A
I'm
just
curious.
C
Are
you
feeling
more
comfortable
with
the
balance
that
you
have
now
or
do
you
anticipate
reanalyzing
the
amount
of
staff
that
you
have
focused
on
investigations
versus
other
roles
within
the
city
and
then
my
second
question
is
you
know,
I
I
really
appreciate
seeing
the
results,
but
is
there
a
way
you
can
give
us
any
more
context
to
those
results,
some
that
some
of
the
lines
you
show
up
she
shared
with
us
did
provide
context.
You
know
such
as
saying
we
increased
the
number
of
cases
closed
or
things
like
that.
C
But
you
know,
is
there
anything
more,
maybe
not
for
this
moment
but
kind
of
for
the
future
you
can
share.
You
know
I,
don't
I
have
no
idea
if
there
is
kind
of
professional
standards
within
you
know,
Canada
the
national
culture
of
policing
around.
You
know
this
is
a
typical
closure
rate
for
X
types
of
crimes,
or
you
know.
C
What
are
we
kind
of
pushing
for
and
I'm
assuming
kind
of
the
most
violent
crimes
are
the
ones
where
we
are
spending
more
resources
to
ensure
those
cases
we
can
close
or
send
to
the
county
attorney
or
whatever
it
is,
is
happening,
but
you
know
maybe
that's
actually
kind
of
old
way
to
think
about
it.
Maybe
there's
certain
kind
of
lesser
offense
types
crimes
where
it's
more
important
to
put
your
resources
there,
because
of
you
know
how
things
develop
so
a
church.
H
H
One
of
the
things
that
we
are
constantly
doing
is
making
sure
that
we're
having
concrete
conversations
with
whether
it's
a
City
Attorney's
Office,
whether
it's
a
County
Attorney's
Office,
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
cases
more
smartly
in
terms
of
whether
it's
for
the
successful
prosecution
and
charging
I
would
say
that
on
both
our
closure
rates
and
our
charging
rates,
we
are
at
that
national
level,
where
we
should
be
I
believe
honor
charging
rates.
We
may
actually
be
above
the
national
norm
in
that
regard.
H
We're
also
doing
some
things
which
impact
so,
for
example,
our
domestic
gone
on
arrival
misdemeanors.
We
are
doing
a
much
more
concentrated
effort
on
the
follow-up
to
that
to
prevent
it
from
becoming
that
felony
types
of
bookcase,
and
so
that
is
an
area
that
we're
in
terms
of
our
investigations,
are
really
making
sure
we're
working
a
lot
more
smarter
working
out
reaching
with
our
city
and
county
attorney.
Folks,
making
sure
investigators
are
doing
the
things
that
they
need
to
have
those
successful
outcomes
they
need.
I.
H
Think
that's
also
ties
in
to
where
these
victim
advocates
come
into
play
as
well.
So
we're
really
making
sure
we
look
at
it
from
a
holistic
point
of
view
with
our
staffing
so
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so,
but
I'll
work
on
making
sure
we
get
some
finer
details
in
terms
of
results
for
those
investigations.
H
29,
this
slide
highlights
the
eight
community
liaison
positions
that
I
am
asking
for,
and
I
think
it's
important
for
me
to
to
highlight
a
touch
upon
it,
a
little
bit
in
our
conversations
today,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
I
clearly
know
and
whether
we're
talking
about
the
heroin
heroin
opioid
epidemics,
whether
we're
talking
about
distrust
of
government
in
some
of
our
communities,
there
again
are
spaces
and
places
where
the
MPD
are
just
not
the
most
appropriate
response
to
deal
with
these.
These
types
of
calls
in
our
community.
H
It
takes
a
lot
of
resources,
takes
a
lot
of
our
officers
out
of
service
ties
them
up
instead
of
where
they
should
be
dealing
more
directly
with
public
safety.
Priority
calls,
and
so
we
certainly
I,
certainly
see
this
need.
I've
seen
it
working
already
real
time
with
our
just
teaming
up
with
our
County
folks,
with
our
mental
health
correspond.
C
Thanks
and
I
just
kind
of
wanted.
This
is
a
pretty
significant
item,
it
seems
I
will
say
when
I
first
saw
the
item
in
the
budget.
I
didn't
really
quite
understand,
you
know
what
the
positions
would
be
and
this
kind
of
helps
a
bit.
I
do
think
you
know
it's
I
appreciate
to
you
that
you're
looking
for
kind
of.
C
Creators,
the
wrong
word,
probably
but
creative
ways
to
essentially
accomplish
the
public
safety
mission.
Oh
the
police
department,
with
using
how
do
you
balance
what's
the
appropriate
use
of
a
sworn
officer,
resource
versus
a
civilian
resource
to
accomplish
the
Public
Safety
goal,
so
I
guess
I've
kind
of
seen
that
and
it
may
be
just
you
know.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
a
wait
and
see
you
know
after
you
have
some
opportunity
to
target
and
direct
and
further
define
the
roles
of
these
individuals.
C
C
Did
these
employees
end
up
producing
the
results
that
you
thought
would
be
helpful
to
the
Public
Safety
overall
mission.
I
think
will
help
make
the
case
again,
for
how
do
we
continue
to
strategize
with
the
sworn
balance
with
the
civilian
I'm,
a
big
fan
of
civilian
employees,
working
together
with
the
police
department
I,
know
accounts
of
President
Johnson's,
who
has
been
always
a
big
promoter
of
the
crime
prevention,
specialist
position
as
an
example,
which
is
seems
that's
what
at
first
I
was
kind
of
thinking.
H
H
Each
and
every
day
you
know
whether
it's
dealing
with
a
problem,
tenants,
problem,
neighbors,
galvanizing
block
club
leaders
and
door-knocking
and
those
things
these
I
look
at
is
really
community
members
who
are
embedded
in
those
communities
who
have
relationships
and
know
what
works
best
or
for
whether
it's
East
Philips,
whether
it's
in
Jordan
neighborhood,
and
know
that
when
it's
not
a
police
response
or
resource,
it's
needed.
I
think
that
we
can
galvanize
and
and
be
a
force
multiplier
with
having
these
folks
out
there
addressing
those
specific
dynamic
issues
that
that
plague
those
communities
and
I.
H
Just
so,
it's
different
from
our
current
crime
prevention
specialists
and
so
I
think
that
I
also
believe
that
they
can
certainly
help
our
crime
prevention
specialist
and
they
can
also
help
them
in
terms
of
whether
it's
information
sharing,
whether
it's
the
kind
of
lay
of
the
land
or
trends
that
are
occurring
in
those
communities.
So
that's
what
I
really
see
these
community
liaisons
doing
these
community
navigators,
so
yeah.
K
K
Can
you
talk
about
like
how
these
I
mean
these?
Are
civilians
will
be
Police
Department
staff?
It
seems
like
a
big
job
to
build
trust
with
the
community,
and
that
will
be
what
they
have
to
do.
But
how
will
they
sort
of
fit
into
that?
Overall
trajectory
that
we're
on
about
you
know
filling
in
all
of
these
different
gaps
around
violence,
prevention
and
community
support.
So.
H
Chair
Quincy
Council
Myrna
to
your
point
and
if
I
could
use
the
example
of
our
the
great
folks
that
are
at
next
step
next
step
over
at
HCMC
advocates
community
advocates
working
with
those
victims
of
gunshot
wounds
and
gunshot
violence,
so
they're
having
their
initial
outreach
to
them
as
they're
being
rolled
into
the
ER
and
they're
doing
the
great
work
of
trying
to
get
them
the
best
choices
to
help
them
make
the
best
choices
possible
for
them
to
survive.
But
then
it's
cut
off.
H
Those
individuals
eventually
will
go
back
into
the
community
at
some
point
or
their
family
members
are
back
in
the
community
or
they
may
think
about
having
family
members
retaliate
or
what
have
you?
And
so
we
don't
have
unless
it's
miss,
Connie
or
referred
to
giving
me
a
call
late
at
night.
Saying:
hey,
Rhonda,
I,
think
that
that
person
is
going
to
go
back
out
to
the
community
and
do
something
there's
not
that
connected
point
from
from
hospital
to
back
in
the
community.
H
I
see
these
community
navigators
playing
that
vital
role
that
we'll
be
able
to
link
both
our
city
enterprises,
Minneapolis,
PD,
Public
Health,
and
whether
it's
HCMC
or
whether
it's
RGV,
I
folks
and
I,
see
them
being
able
to
play
that
role.
If
we're
dealing
with
an
opioid
epidemic,
that's
hitting
our
streets,
whether
it's
in
North
Minneapolis
or
on
Lake,
Street
and
and
several
people
have
just
so
deed
their
that
link
out
there.
That
can
it
can
have
that
relationship
communication
with
it's
real
time.
A
new
badge
is
hit
the
street.
This
is
what
we're
experiencing.
H
H
H
This
is
continuing
to
be
just
an
alarming
trend
that
we're
seeing
in
her
city
if
we
look
at
slide,
32
we're
looking
at
the
demographics
of
overdose
incidents
from
last
year
and
while
white
males
make
up
the
majority
of
those
over
those
incidents.
If
you
look
at
our
Native
American
and
Native
American,
a
Native
American
male
and
female
disproportionately
represent
a
high
number
of
those
orbitals
incidents.
H
As
we
look
at
the
next
slide
on
page
35
slide
35,
the
change
request
here
is
or
additional
administrative
support
to
FTEs.
These
two
positions
are
really
for
all
of
you
have
precinct
inspectors.
Unfortunately,
none
of
them
really
have
administrative
support
dedicated
to
them.
So
many
of
your
precinct
inspectors,
I,
would
absolutely
say
all
of
your
precinct.
H
H
C
H
Slide
36
talks
and
highlights
a
little
bit
what
we
have
been
discussing
about
civilian
ization
and
how
far
Minneapolis
PD
has
has
lacked.
In
terms
of
that,
when
we
look
at
comparable
to
other
peer
law
enforcement
agencies,
most-pure
law
enforcement
agencies,
our
size
have
a
compliment
of
at
least
24%
civilian
team
members.
H
H
Slide
38
looks
at
our
Professional
Standards
administration
and
professional
development.
We're
looking
at
here
as
it
relates
to
hiring
and
diversity,
and
you
will
see
a
snapshot
from
2012
to
2017,
I'm,
sorry,
2012,
I'm,
sorry
2002
to
2017,
and
this
is
an
area
that
I'm
absolutely
committed
to
making
sure
that
we
do
all
that
we
can
in
terms
of
our
recruitment
and
hiring
and
retention
of
women
and
people
of
color.
And
while
we've
made
some
strides,
has
to
get
better
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
H
H
We're
also
looking
at
Fleet
addition
for
our
MPD
vehicles
to
catch
us
up
with
the
hires
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
have
adequate
squads
for
those
folks
to
do
their
patrol
duties
and
then
again
the
forensic
comparison
microscope
is
the
one
that
we
had
has
lasted
20
years,
that
is
no
longer
operational
and
that
helps
us
tremendously
in
terms
of
our
evidence
and
ballistic
measuring
and
comparisons,
helping
us
to
charge
cases.
So
that
is
our
capital
asset
request
from
CaRMS.
A
H
F
K
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
reflect
that
I
think
this
is
a
really
balanced
approach
to
safety
in
our
community
and
I
think
this
year.
A
lot
of
the
change
items
have
to
do
more
with
sort
of
innovative
strategies
or
violence,
prevention
or
mental
health,
correspondent,
community
safety
approaches,
but
that
we've
added
a
significant
amount
of
resources
in
this
term
to
sworn
officers.
I
think
we've
added
25
sworn
officers
since
I
took
office
four
years
ago.
K
Almost
you
know:
we've
added
the
community
service
officer
classes,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
that
this,
these
change
items
in
the
context,
maybe
to
councilmember
Clinton's
earlier
points
of
the
trajectory
of
the
past
few
years.
I
think
the
approach
is
really
balanced.
So
it's
just
a
comment.
I
did
want
to
note
just
since
it's
come
up
so
many
times
that,
while
it's
in
the
health
department's
budget
primarily
and
a
little
bit
in
the
attorney's
office,
just
kind
of
where
we're
at
with
some
of
the
violence
prevention
funding.
K
So
my
understanding
from
talking
with
staff
in
your
department
and
the
health
department
in
the
City
Attorney's
office,
is
that
our
gvi
program
is
essentially
fully
funded
from
what
staff
would
recommend
and
that's
the
program
where
we
identify
folks
who
are
most
at
risk
for
committing
or
being
victim
of
violent
crimes
had
45
folks,
which
was
much
higher
than
expected.
Go
through
that
program.
So
it
seems
that
there's
more
demand
then
anticipated
and
maybe
needs
more
resources
in
the
future.
My
understanding
is
next.
K
Step
is
not
fully
funded,
that
there
is
some
money
in
the
budget
both
from
Grants
and
what
is
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
to
continue
the
work
at
HCMC,
but
not
enough
to
expand
it
to
North
Point
and
that
there
is
increased
interest
there
to
have
the
program
expanded.
So
if
we
wanted
to
support
that,
we
would
need
to
find
additional
funding
and
then
its
councilmember
Palmisano
highlighted
again
something
else.
We
discussed
at
the
health
budget
presentation
that
there
isn't
funding
for
that
domestic
violence,
grant
funding
that
we
were
able
to
fund
last
year.
H
H
Next
up
has
done
phenomenal
work
in
terms
of
that
outreach,
as
I
mentioned,
we
don't,
unfortunately,
right
now
we
don't
have
a
connector,
but
they've
done
a
phenomenal
work
and,
of
course,
as
it
relates
to
domestic
violence,
we
again
want
to
change
our
way
of
looking
at
that,
and
we
are
certainly
are
training
our
officers
to
look
at
it
differently.
As
we
see
those
young
children
involved
in
those
situations,
I
don't
early
age,
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
resources
that
they
need
as
well.
I
You
mr.
chair
chief
I,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
I
thought
it
was
really
interesting
and
I
learned
a
lot
I'm
just
wondering.
How
are
you
doing?
How
is
it
going
for
you?
Could
you
just
you
know,
give
us
us?
How
are
you
feeling
part
of
the
problem
we've
had
in
the
past
was
just
a
lack
of
open,
honest
communication
and,
if
just
two
minutes
I
think
people
would
just
like
to
hear.
I
H
Quincy
good
me,
thank
you.
That's
that
so
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
It
is
certainly
that
is
a
great
question.
I
am
personally
filling
I
will
tell
you
that
it
seems
like
it's
120
miles
an
hour.
Transition
can
be
very
interesting
at
times
and,
and
you
know
the
one
thing.
Obviously
all
of
you
know
that
the
police
department,
our
work,
is
it's
24/7
it.
Never
it
never
stops.
H
I
will
tell
you
that
there's
an
assured
confidence
that
I
have
in
the
fact
that
we
truly
have
a
wonderful
Police,
Department
I
am
surrounded
each
and
every
day
and
reminded
of
our
both
our
sworn
and
civilian
folks
that
do
phenomenal
jobs
that
come
to
work
each
and
every
day
to
represent
our
city
to
the
best
of
their
abilities.
So
that
is
very,
very
helpful.
You
asking
the
question
you
did
just
now.
H
So
that's
that's
been
very
helpful.
I
will
tell
you
that,
like
any
organization,
we're
gonna
have
some
turbulence
along
the
way.
We
are
not
immune
to
that,
and
so
that's
even
why
it's
more
critical
for
us
to
continue
to
have
the
relationships
that
we
do
have
to
have
the
hard
conversations
with
our
community,
but
but
I
do
feel
I
do
feel
confident
and
I'll
get
some
rest
at
some
point
in
time.
So
thank
you
very
much
appreciate
that.
A
Thank
you
for
that
I'm
glad
you're
feeling
better.
Thank
you.
That
concludes
I.
Don't
see
any
additional
questions
comments
from
staff
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
It
was
certainly
comprehensive,
as
well
as
thanking
Miss
McPherson.
Here
has
been
keeping
you
on
track
for
these
past
several
Monday.
D
A
A
N
You
mr.
chair,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Barrett
Lane
I'm,
the
director
of
the
office
of
emergency
management,
I'm,
here
to
brief
you
this
afternoon
on
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
our
office
for
2018,
as
you
noted
earlier
at
very
few
slides
here.
So
we
can
move
through
this
fairly
quickly
and
then
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
You
might
have
here's
our
organizational
chart
really
the
same
as
last
year:
eight
and
a
half
FTEs
in
emergency
management.
N
At
this
time
from
budget
summary
standpoint,
this
is
a
status
quo
budget
coming
forward
from
the
mayor's
office.
We
are
a
little
bit
less
grant
money
due
to
pass
federal
pass-through.
Then
last
year
that
has
come
in
since
this
number
was
generated,
but
only
$45,000
less
than
we
expected
from
last
year,
so
really
at
the
margin
there.
So
that's
status
quo.
Fortunately,
no
big
movement
from
a
grant
standpoint
with
respect
to
sanctuary
cities
or
others.
N
So,
fortunately,
we're
going
to
be
going
forward
with
a
full
grant
program
for
next
year
in
the
general
fund,
you're
going
to
see
a
dollar
decrease
there,
really
that
relates
to
cars,
money
that
we
had
last
year.
That's
rolling
off!
That
was
money
that
was
invested
in
downtown
siren
upgrades
and
that
will
complete
the
overall
outdoor
warning
siren
program.
Once
that's
complete
the
one
time
when
he
rolls
off
and
really
what
you're
talking
about
is
a
status
quo.
General
fund
budget
as
well.
N
The
mayor's
not
bringing
forward
any
cars
requests,
so
this
slide
is
just
again
a
summary
of
our
program.
We
continue
to
work
in
the
same
traditional
areas
of
mitigation,
preparedness
response
and
recovery.
Nothing
has
changed
in
that
internet
area.
We
continue
to
build
out
the
program
based
on
national
standards,
best
practices
and
measure
our
performance
according
to
that
so
again,
completely
status
quo
budget.
Here
we're
not
asking
for
any
additional
resources.
This
year.
G
Thank
You
mr.
chair
mr.
Lena
I,
have
to
say:
I
was
appreciating
your
communication
with
us
when
we're
in
one
of
these
emergency
situations
and
I'm
just
curious
as
to
with
all
of
the
natural
disasters
that
we
experienced
across
the
country.
Didn't
did
we
provide
health
in
any
of
those
situations
and
where
we
asked
I'm
just
you
know
watching
some
of
the
things
that
went
on
we
have
you
know.
I
was
thinking
about
our
stores
of
things
that
we
had
and
could
have
been
useful.
But
mr.
N
Incident
management
team
was
sent
down
to
Florida
and
spent
two
weeks
in
emergency
operation
center
support
there
in
consultation
with
the
mayor's
office
and
as
a
coordinator
was
decided
that
that
our
staff
ought
to
stay
here
and
make
sure
that
we're
prepared
for
the
Super
Bowl,
so
we
didn't
participate
in
ourselves,
but
the
region
has
in
fact
supported
some
of
these
national
and
international
deployments.
So
we
did
field
I,
believe
30
right
around
30
requests,
and
you
know
we
work
internally
to
see
if
we
can
get
those
matched
out.
N
G
A
Thank
You
mr.
Allain
one
final
question
of
mine
just
going
back
to
previous
year,
was
it
this
past
year
or
when
that
was
at
the
budget.
Before
that
we
were
able
to
add
some
administrative
staff
to
your
team.
Is
there
any
changes
that
you'd
gerotor
previous
investments
and
how
it's
carried
forward
into
this
year?
I
know
this
is
a
status
quo
budget,
but
was
there
anything
in
the
previous
several
budgets
that
was
relevant,
that
we
should
be
talking
about?
No.
N
I
think
we're
in
good
shape,
and
we
appreciate
the
support
that
we've
received
here
right
now,
we've
been
able
to
fully
engage
all
the
folks
that
we
have
a
lot
of
what
we're
doing
now
is
is,
of
course,
planning
for
the
Super
Bowl,
but
at
this
point
in
time
all
those
folks
are
fully
engaged.
We
have
an
open
position
that
we're
filling
for
the
finance
section
chief,
but
we're
working
with
HR
to
get
that
squared
away
very.
J
A
G
F
G
Tyner
sends
us
these
weekly
fire
and
EMS
blotter
and
I
just
want
to
say:
I
am
stunned
at
the
work
that
our
fire
department
is
doing.
Currently
and
one
week
we
had
a
lady
pedestrians
walking
on
the
street
on
Lake
Street
a
car
comes
across
strikes
the
pedestrian
nearly
severs
a
woman's
leg,
two
fires
where
people
set
people
on
fire
or
set
a
fire,
two
fatalities,
a
jumper
that
came
of
one
of
our
high-rises
and
someone
was
impaled
on
a
piece
of
sculpture.
I
mean
it
just
reading.
G
This
just
blows
me
away
and,
of
course,
not
to
mention
all
of
the
emergency
responses
about
opioids
and
then
this
other
drug
that
people
were
involved
with
the
k2
or
something
like
that.
I
can't
think
the
name
of
it,
but
I,
just
I
want
to
thank
our
fur
Department,
our
police
department,
our
EMS
people,
for
this
fantastic
work
that
they
do
and
I
have
to
tell
you
it.
This
is.
This
is
just
stunning
to
see
what
you
deal
with
every
day.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I.
A
L
Sherman
Quincy
committee
members.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
look
on
presenter,
20:18,
recommended
budget
presentation.
I
can
achieve
freedom
very
proud
to
say
on
the
chief
for
the
Neffs
Fire
Department.
With
that
I'll
go
through
Mike
I'll
go
through
the
presentation.
I
will
go
through
probably
fairly
quickly,
but
I
presented
questions
I'll,
certainly
stop
and
chairman.
L
If
you
have
the
questions
at
the
creamy
have
I'll
certainly
stop
in,
but
the
answer
those
questions
our
own
chart
on
slide
number
two
is
pretty
much
the
same
chart
we've
had
for
the
last
two
years
and
maybe
some
minor
changes
in
2018
and
we'll
see,
but
that's
pretty
much
a
consistent
or
chart
that
we
have
a
makeup
of
our
organization.
Our
budget
summary.
We
have
the
same
three
programs
we
primarily
had
for
last
five
years
since
I've
been
the
fire
chief.
L
For
a
total
of
the
2017
adopted
budget,
we
had
roughly
65
million
dollars,
sixty
five
sixty
five
million
dollars
and
in
2018
a
recommended
funding
is
a
sixty
six
point:
nine
million
dollars
so
we've
had
a
an
increase.
There
we've
a
change
item
in
a
total
of
five
hundred
fifty
seven
thousand
dollars
which
I
will
get
into
in
some
of
the
future.
Slides
we've
had
a
slight
increase
of
FTEs
from
4:18
additional
for
fds,
which
will
bring
us
to
a
total
of
422.
That
includes
our
sworn
and
civilian
staff.
L
Again,
our
core
programs,
a
lot
of
the
change
items
are
going
to
be
in
our
first
program,
which
is
fire
suppression,
EMS
and
tactical
risk.
I
would
like
to
spend
some
time
talking
about
that.
Obviously
that
program
we
in
the
services
we
provide
within
that
program,
a
fire
response
as
materials
response,
the
EMS
services,
special
operations,
and/or
technical
rescue,
fire
prevention
and
also
community
outreach,
our
crews
to
assist
the
folks
with
the
community
outreach
and
education.
L
The
general
fund
within
the
that
first
core
program
is
forty
six
point:
six
million
dollars
in
2018
we're
looking
at
a
again
a
slight
increase
to
forty
seven
point:
four
million
dollars
as
you
notice
in
the
bottom
of
that
page,
our
goals
and
values.
We've
have
all
of
the
boxes
checked
in
the
goals
and
values.
We
feel
that
all
of
our
programs
align
themselves
very
well
to
the
goals
and
values
that
have
been
established
by
the
city.
I
think
we
have,
we
do
a
very
good
job
within
the
community.
L
In
touching,
the
community
I
think
we
think
we
play
a
strong
role
in
where
the
city
works,
certainly
a
great
place
to
live,
and
since
we
live
and
work
within
our
communities,
I
think
we
do
an
effective
job
in
taking
care
of
the
community.
In
the
change
items
on
the
on
page,
seven
we've
had
a
change
amount
of
the
total
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
includes
four
FTEs.
L
The
change
item
is
seventy-five
thousand
dollars,
one
time
and
two
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
ongoing
money,
the
75
thousand
and
one-time
bonds
who
helped
purchase
a
BLS
type
vehicle.
As
we
all
know,
over
the
years
we've
had
we
struggle
with
the
number
of
EMS
events
that
we
have,
that
that
challenge
our
department
in
terms
of
response
and
the
cost
associated
at
taking
a
big
red
truck
down
the
street
is
somewhat
inefficient.
So
we
are
now
getting
to
the
point
with
the
community
and
Kela
a
solution
that
has
been
passed.
L
That
will
have
an
opportunity
to
start
doing
these,
these
patient
visits
and
putting
the
actually
the
right
resource
on
the
right
event
for
the
right
outcomes.
Moving
forward.
This
will
be
provided
by
hopefully
by
another
individual
or
a
position
within
the
in
the
fire
department
were
which
takes
us
to
the
$225,000
of
ongoing
money,
I'd
like
to
create
another
position
under
the
rank
of
firefighter
of
an
entry-level
position
which
would
be
for
these
folks
who
can
assist
with
providing
that
community
EMT
service.
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
have
to
look
at.
L
We
have
to
try.
We
have
had
over
35,000
EMS
events
in
the
last
in
the
last
year.
The
costs
associated
with
that
are
certainly
challenging
when
you
take
an
engine
company
or
a
ladder
company
along
with
maybe
a
police
lock
up
what
car,
along
with
Hennepin
County
paramedics
they
caught
the
cost,
get
to
be
very,
very
expensive.
This
will
allow
us
to
and
what
community
EMT
actually
does
it
will?
L
Patients
will
be
released
from
a
hospital
area
hospital
with
qualifying
conditions
and
when
they
have
a
qualifying
conditions,
they're
going
to
be
required
to
be
visited
by
a
community
EMT
within
a
given
amount
of
time,
and
what
that
community
EMT
will
do.
They
will
sit
down
with
that
patient
and
review,
for
example,
their
their
discharge
papers.
And,
do
you
understand
your
discharge
papers?
Do
we
have
the
medication
associated
with
your
discharge?
Do
you
understand
what
those
are?
Do
you
have
food?
Do
you
feel
safe
in
your
home?
L
We
have
so
I
think
if
we
put
together
an
effective
mobile,
integrated
health
care
program
and
define
your
really
clearly
defined.
Well,
we're
going
to
play
I
think
were
to
be
much
more
effective
and
we
will
save
in
the
man's
Fire.
Department
I
know
we'll
save
cost
and
fuel
and
maintenance,
and
maybe
be
able
to
consider
extending
life
expectancy
of
our
more
expensive
rigs.
We
can
maybe
delay
that
the
person
of
an
engine
company
or
ladder
company
by
a
year
so
I
think
it's.
It's
very
important.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity.
L
And
T
is
something:
if
you
go
back
a
couple
years.
We
were
involved
in
a
study
with
much
far
west
side
neutral,
ad
partners.
We're
involved
with
this
study
that
that
study
at
then
that
studies
award-winning
study
for
about
one
of
the
innovative
programs
of
that
year.
That
certainly
found
that
we
were
able,
by
them
creating
those
visits
and
visiting
these
patients.
We
were
able
to
save
that
ACO
exam,
for
example
a
portable
Cray
organization,
some
money
by
us
responding.
They
certainly
saw
a
savings.
L
A
L
There
is,
there
is
a
system
that's
already
set
up
in
place
for
a
cost
recovery
model
associated
with
each
of
these
visits-
that's
already
in
place
or
in
the
process
of
getting
that
contract
over
to
us.
So
we
can
play
a
part
of
this
again
and
there
will
be
a
cost
recovery
model
with
so,
basically
rule
will
get
paid
for
the
visits
that
we
do.
We
do
complete.
A
L
What
what
this
really
does
for
us
in
to
maybe
get
off
into
in,
to
bring
up
or
their
program
into
this?
We
have
a
community
and
we
have
our
EMS
Academy.
This
would
be
a
unique
opportunity
to
really
connect
the
dots
of
EMS
academy.
Graduate
could
then
come
in
and
apply
for
these
one
of
these
positions
in
the
fire
department
as
an
entry-level
position
as
part
of
that
position,
I
can
foresee
them
continuing
on
with
as
part
of
their
responsibilities
or
program
that
they
would
be
attending
some
ongoing
training
and
firefighting.
F
L
On
page
10,
you
can
see
since
27
we
have.
We
just
put
a
couple
maps
up
here.
I'm
sorry,
look
ahead
of
myself:
we
do
have
a
hundred
and
forty
seven
thousand
dollars,
also
in
the
fire
suppression
program,
which
is
cost
recovery
and
orbeum
Burson
for
the
Associated
cost
that
we've
identified
that
we're
gonna
have
during
that
you
during
the
Super,
Bowl
I,
will
admit.
L
We've
gone
beyond
that
a
little
bit
that
there's
been
some
other
requests
for
additional
service
that
we
could
provide
during
that
time
and
working
through
through
the
Super
Bowl
folks
to
be
reimbursed
for
that
service.
Over
and
above
what
we
put
in
there
twice
months
ago,
there's
been
some
additional
services
added.
L
We've
asked
to
be
reimbursed
for
some
that
service
and
we
provide,
and
that
revolves
around
EMS
work
on
on
the
Nicollet
Mall
and
is
Ixia
since
2012
our
our
runs
have
gone
up
this
year,
we're
going
to
be,
or
in
2016
we
were
at
almost
50/50
thousand
runs
this
year.
We
are
going
to
be
exceed
that
amount.
If
you
can
see
on
top
of
the
EMS
incidents
of
2016
and
runs
thirty.
Four
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty-six
events
or
EMS.
L
It
is
a
lot
of
work,
so
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
focus
on
what
we
can
do
to
really
redefine
our
model
in
terms
of
EMS
working
with
our
Union
to
come
up
with
the
very
effective
future
response
model
for
the
department.
I
think
that's
gonna
be
very,
very
important.
Go
forward
in
the
two
maps
in
from
in
that
they
on
page
ten,
which
has
you
can
see
the
EMS
by
neighborhood
events
in
twenty
from
2007
to
2016.
L
You
can
see
the
number
of
red
boxes
in
those
red
boxes
were
five
hundred
to
three
thousand
runs
just
within
that
box
in
one
year.
So
it's
very
very
challenging.
We
are
starting
to
see
that,
as
as
the
our
population
starts
to
age,
its
aging
on
one
end,
I
think
it's
it's
growing
younger
on
the
other
I
think
the
younger
population
moving
downtown
a
little
bit.
We
ever
certainly
have
an
aging
population
and
we're
going
to
see
that
demand
for
our
service
on
the
EMS
site
certainly
expand
some
good
news.
L
I
think
out
of
that
know,
with
with
the
demand
for
service
we've
seen
over
the
last
ten
years,
or
so
we
still
up
it,
had
the
ability
on
page
eleven
to
meet
or
very
close
to
meet
the
NFPA
targeted
standard
in
terms
of
response
type
that
is
kudos
to
the
firefighters
and
ability
to
quickly
receive
the
run
and
also
the
dispatch
centers
to
process
those
runs,
get
them
all
to
our
crews
and
arrive
on
scene
and
these
standards
again.
These
are
very
tough
standards
nationally
to
try
to
meet
they're
very
few
compartments.
L
It
leads
us
to
our
second
program,
which
is
training
and
recruitment.
We
see
that's
a
fundamental
bullet.
We
use
as
a
fundamental
building
block
for
our
department.
We
also
have
a
recruitment
development
within
that
some
of
the
services
that
we've
been
very
proud
of,
and
I'm
proud
to
talk
about
some
of
this,
our
community
pathways
program,
our
explorers
program
and
compartment
partnering
and
collaborating
with
our
internal
external
partners
such
as
Hennepin
County,
Medical,
Center
ppl.
We've
had
a
lot
of
folks
help
us
through
these
these
different
time
of
this
and
this
core
program.
L
One
of
the
first
things
I
want
to
start
with
is
developing
alternative
hiring
process.
Many
UPS
Fire
Department
has
been
very
diverse,
Department
for
a
lot
of
years.
We
have
been.
You
know
it's
easy
to
talk
about
that.
It's
easy
to
do
to
maybe
want
to
brag
a
little
bit
about
that,
but
in
and
when
you
get
into
raise,
trying
to
sustain
that.
That's
where
it
becomes
very,
very
challenging.
So
this
year
we
we,
we
were
funded
last
year
to
do
a
new
entry
level
test
which
we
completed.
L
L
So
it's
been
a
very
challenging
time
for
us
and
again
kudos
on
my
staff,
who
worked
very
very
hard
in
this
process
and
have
done
spent
countless
hours
on
focused
recruitment,
redefining
the
way
we
do
tests
the
way
we
we
calculate
some
of
the
things
that
that
we
factor
in
in
that
we
had
a
budget
of
in
2017
over
9.3
million
and
2018.
It's.
We
have
a
slight
increase
of
nine
point:
nine
million
again
all
the
goals
and
valued
boxes
have
been
checked,
which
all
leads
to
all
this
stuff.
L
We're
really
focused
on
our
MFD
retirement
timeline.
There's
a
work
plan
that
we
put
together
in
2012,
it's
a
very
simple
plan,
but
it's
a
plan
we've
stuck
with
and
it
does
work
it
just
does
reflect
you
can
see
in
the
top
graph,
the
in
in
twenty
twenty
to
thirty
seven
point:
one
percent
of
our
department
is
going
to
be
eligible
to
retire,
quite
frankly
eligible
and
accumulative
value
to
be
retired
in
a
twenty
twenty
seven.
Sixty
two
point:
five
percent:
the
department
is
going
to
be
at
a
position
they
could
retire.
L
If
you
see
the
on
page
fifteen,
you
can
see
the
the
graph
on
the
training
recruitment
hiring
list.
This.
We
had
approximately
just
under
thirteen
hundred
total
applicants
who
applied
for
the
position
of
firefighter
we
and
we
have
blended
that
down
to
one
hundred
eighty-two
sort
of
number-one
candidates,
that
is
a
hiring
list
and
we're
working
off
those
off
the
next
two
years.
One
hundred
two
hundred
eighty
two
candidates
that
list
now
and
you
can
see
the
total
people
of
color,
that
is
41.2%
persons
of
color.
L
We
have
38%
38.5%
veterans
and
you
look
into
the
ethnicity
broke
the
breakdown
of
our
list.
That's
probably
the
most
diverse
hiring
list
we've
probably
had
in
a
long
time
in
this
department.
I,
don't
know
if
I
can
remember
a
better
one.
So
we've
that's
hats
off
to
my
staff
and
work
that
they've
done
in
in
the
recruitment,
the
testing
we
brought
everything
in-house.
We
made
some
changes,
no
beer,
but
all
the
testing
was
done
within
the
city
of
any
apple
city
limits.
Nothing
was
sent
out.
L
K
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
underscore
how
big
of
a
deal
this
is
and
the
work
that
you're
doing
just
really
leading
the
city
in
this
area
and
I'm,
probably
not
the
only
council
member
who
has
seen
you
interact
one-on-one
with
our
kids.
You
know
my
fourth
graders
come
every
year
and
so
the
recruitment
that
you're
doing
we're
seeing
these
early
results
but
you're
reaching
deep
into
the
community
with
eight
nine
year
old,
kids
giving
them
you
no
idea
where
they
might
be
going
in
the
future
and
I
just
think.
K
L
L
And
Cory
for
the
the
effort
that
they
put
in
working
to
labor
management.
We
have
agreed
in
having
a
party
in
our
labor
agreement
that
every
class
that
we
hire
off
of
the
civil
service
list,
30%
of
that
class,
made
up
of
graduates
from
the
EMS
academy.
So
right
now,
as
of
the
present
time,
we
have
6
graduates
of
the
EMS
academy
who
are
working
as
firefighters
on
a
Minneapolis
Fire
Department
on
this
next
class,
we're
going
to
hire
after
the
first
year.
L
There
are
probably
six
five
or
six
additional
candidates
off
this
last
graduating
class
will
be
part
of
then
that's
cadet
class.
So
we
were
able
to
build
in
a
sustainable
model
that
hopefully
will
assist
us
as
we
truly
want
to
see.
You
know
our
department
reflect
the
community
that
we
serve
and
I
think
that
we
we've
got
a
model.
That's
effective,
I!
L
L
In
our
last
program,
a
community
outreach
and
Risk
Reduction
that
that
is
a
again
it's
a
division
of
one
caste
Anderson
is
our.
Is
our
community
outreach
officer?
She
gives
a
very,
very
effective
job
working
with
our
firefighters
in
the
state's
that's
who
do
assist
with
with
providing
support
and
assistance.
I
don't
feel
when
she
doing
your
visits
either
juveniles-
or
you
know,
low-income
folks
or
aging
populations-
are
out
there
assisting
her
where
they
can.
That
program
has
a
budget
of
about
nine
million
dollars.
We
have
that
in
2017
and
2018
organ.
L
We
look
at
about
nine
point.
Four
million
one
thing
that
a
little
bit
disappointing
this
year
because
of
the
events
around
the
country.
We
had
a
very
aggressive
plan
to
install
smoke,
detectors
partnering
with
st.
Paul
fire
and
the
American
Red
Cross.
Obviously,
with
the
recent
events
with
the
Hurricanes
and
all
the
damage
in
the
South,
the
Red
Cross
has
a
lot
of
their
folks
have
been
deployed
in
other
parts
of
the
country
to
assist
with
that.
L
So
we've
delayed
that
we're
gonna
have
a
meeting
in
December
to
redefine
how
we're
gonna
work
in
2018
that'll
be
a
program
we're
going
to
identify
parts
of
the
city
that
we're
gonna
go
into
those
parts
of
city
and
working
with
the
Red
Cross
staff
and
our
firefighters
and
other
volunteer
groups
to
install
smoke
detectors
in
many
buildings
that
we
can
get
into.
So
it's
a
very
effective
program.
L
We
just
had
to
delay
it
for
a
little
bit
of
time,
just
for
obvious
reasons
with
Mother
Nature
certainly
changed
that,
and
there
again
you
can
see
the
breakdown
of
our
community
emergency
response
team
members.
We
have
many
many
residents
of
the
MS
from
Minneapolis
who
are
now
we
have.
We
have
up
to
450
cert
team
members,
their
roads
to
the
city
who
are
trained
to
assist
with
their
communities.
L
If
we
ever
had
an
issue
where
we
were
unable
to
respond
or
effectively
respond,
they
certainly
could
assist
in
helping
their
neighbors
and
their
communities
to
deal
with
some
of
the
challenges
they
may
have
on
a
some
type
of
a
natural
man-made
disaster
and
from
our
cars
request.
We
have
one
request
in
cars
for
sort
of
ongoing
a
request
of
one
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
that
is,
for
the
replacement
of
personal
protective
equipment.
L
That
is
the
NFPA
changes
standard
a
few
years
ago
were,
after
a
ten
year
period,
all
of
our
turnout
gear
and
is
ten
years
old
or
older,
has
to
be
discarded
same
with
our
helmets.
So
this
money
helps
offset
the
cost
of
so
annually.
We
purchased
no
turnout
gear
and
we
sort
of
have
an
ongoing
replacement
program,
we've
gotten
plane
off
and
that
effectively
offset
some
of
the
cost
of
that.
In
the
click
and
capital
recommendations.
We
have
they're
there
to
product
to
stations
that
are
in
in
the
quick
process.
L
One
is
the
replacement
station
and
a
station
one
in
the
same
block
that
it
is
located
presently
and
the
movement
of
station
11
a
little
farther
up
in
East
Hennepin.
They
are
both
in
the
process
in
that
process.
Right
now
and
obviously
we
know
those
processes
take
time
and
so
we're
just
we're
glad
to
see
them
in
the
process
in
special
station
one
downtown.
It's
one
of
the
busiest
stations
I
have
it'll,
be
nice
to
have
a
new
modern
fire
station
in
that
location
and
I'd
be
willing
to
take
any
questions.
Good
well.
A
E
You,
mr.
chair
and
chief,
and
for
all
of
them
at
these
just
so
so
grateful
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
I
remember
right,
injured.
My
back
earlier
this
year
and
literally
couldn't
stand
up
and
was
out
in
the
backyard
and
I
think
when
we
called
911
along
the
fire
department
was
there
in
about
30
seconds
it
seemed
like.
So
it
was
amazing
the
response
time
that
you're
providing
our
neighborhoods,
and
this
is
more
of
an
offline
question.
E
But
if
I
could
get
data
on
the
injury
rates,
that
would
be
helpful
to
understand
how
injuries
and
staffing
racks
up
and
compares,
especially
with
overtime
I
know
in
past
years.
That
have
been
a
concern
that,
as
staffing
more
expectations
are
stepping
levels
put
more
expectations
on
our
firefighters.
Then
it
ended
up
meaning
more
propensity
for
physical
injury
and
then
more
physical
injury
meant
less
firefighters
available
for
staffing,
and
it
was
kind
of
a
vicious
cycle
and
I
know.
There's
been
improvements
made
to
that,
but
be
helpful
to
understand
how
we're
doing
in
that
regard.
L
Seeing
that
committee
member
John
Steichen
definitely
there's
something
we
track.
We
watch
all
the
time.
I
do
every
Monday
morning
as
you're,
looking
at
her
or
IOD
an
injured
on
duty
and
what
some
of
the
challenging
events
we've
had.
We've
had
a
it's,
it's
ergonomic,
it
sort
of
goes
up
and
down
yeah
we'll
have
a
good
run
and
also
we'll
have
a
few
more.
You
know,
depending
on
the
type
of
the
events
that
we
have,
but
we'll
certainly
get
grab
staff
with
that
information
either.
For
you
provide
that
to
you.
Thank.
C
Mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
do
Ken
about
call
out
and
a
thank
you
to
the
apartment
for
being
such
a
great
partner
in
a
leader
really
within
the
city
around
the
issue
of
applying
erase
equity
lens
to
your
work,
I
know
kind
of
for
all
of
us
in
the
city.
This
is
a
bit
of
a
work
in
progress
just
to
kind
of
figure
out.
What
does
that
mean?
C
But
thinking
about
your
workforce
program,
what
are
the
ways
that
you're,
connecting
with
community
other
structures
within
your
department
and
for
the
program
so
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
and
then,
of
course,
you
know,
you've
really
been
recognized
and
deservedly
so
for
your
unique
programs
that
have
been
reaching
out
to
community
and
showing
young
people
that
pathway
that
can
lead
to
public
safety,
professionalism,
so
I
think
I
would
kind
of
call
it
that
Bradley.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
thanks
for
your
leadership
in
the
city.
Thank.
A
Chief,
thank
you
very
much,
terrific
report.
As
always,
it's
good
to
have
a
comprehensive
view,
but
you're
certainly
looking
forward.
Give
me
an
opportunity
if
there
was
anything
in
the
past
several
years,
budgets
that
you
were
able
to
implement
with
those
resources
and
if
you
could
share
any
positive
results
from
that
outcome
card.
A
L
L
Obviously
there
were
some
challenges
and
we
had
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
through
the
support
of
you,
know
the
the
mayors
and
councils
and
in
the
budget
process
we've
been
able
to
when
I
came
back,
we
were
a
low
of
383
firefighters.
You
know
at
that
time,
I
think
our
authorized
strength
was
406.
Now
we're
up
to
we've
able
to
draw
our
department
back.
I
would
say,
though,
I
think
we
we've
been
able
to
react
to
the
growth
of
this
city.
I.
L
Think
it's
a
better
than
a
way
of
I
was
probably
stating
that
and
so
we're
up
now
do
you
know,
be
haunted
and
22,
including
our
civilians,
which
is
I,
think
it's
415
sworn
firefighters
we've
been
able
to
purchase
five
new
engine
companies
three
to
be
delivered.
The
next
few
months,
there'll
be
a
total
of
eight
heavy
platform,
a
rescue
rig
every
rest
of
the
platform,
and
then
a
heavy
rescue
rig
taking
delivery
of
two
ladders
will
be
taking
delivery
of
another
hook-and-ladder
in
the
next
few
weeks.
Early
part
of
November.
L
L
Turnout
gear,
obviously
our
turnout
gear
is
in
a
tough
situation.
We
have
been
able
to
address
that
vehicle
replacement
was
probably
one
of
the
biggest
ones.
I'll
be
very
honestly
there,
working
with
with
the
fleet
and
and
in
a
big
works
to
get
that
under
control.
We
had
a
lot
of
apparatus
that
were
in
in
in
pretty
tough
state
of
affairs.
L
We
had
Ridge
that
may
have
been
had
a
value
of
$3500
and
we'd,
probably
spend
$16,000
putting
a
transmission
in
one
and
what
we've
seen
from
a
newer,
a
newer
fleet,
for
example,
we're
seeing
a
reduction
in
some
of
our
fuel
costs.
Some
of
our
repair
costs
have
come
down,
and
so
we
can
see
a
dramatic
reduction.
So
it's
it
said
it's
at
fine
balance.
You
try
to
try
to
try
to
maintain.
L
We
hope
that
we
can
be.
You
know,
nimble
enough
to
the
growth
of
our
department
to
mir
match
houses,
community
grows
and
those
challenges
of
demand
on
our
service
changes.
I,
hopefully,
will
be
nimble
enough.
Continue
and
I
appreciate
this
board
in
this
in
this
particular
budget.
To
allow
me
to
maybe
react
to
some
of
that.
I
think
it's
a
unique
opportunity
for
us
I
think
it's
a
fire
departments
around
the
country
are
looking
for
these
types
of
answers.
What
role
do
we
play
in
this
ever-changing?
L
If
anybody
could
ever
try
to
find
this
health
care
system,
we
have
it'd,
be
a
miracle,
but
whatever
I
don't
think,
there's
a
role
that
we
can
play
within
the
system
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
find
that,
especially
as
some
kind
of
a
mobile
integrated
health
care
model.
So
I
appreciate
this
board
on
that.
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
final
comments
not
seeing
any
we're
John.
Thank
you
very
much
chief.
Thank
you.
Our
next
budget
hearings
will
begin
on
Thursday.
So,
while
we'll
look
forward
to
those
sessions
as
well,
that'll
be
our
coordinater
day.
Where
we'll
hear
from
a
number
of
the
coordinator
departments,
we're
adjourned.
