I
am

My

Cunningham
and
I

the
chair
of
this
committee
with
me
at
the
Dyess,
our
council,
members,
Cano,
Schrader
and
council
vice-president
Jenkins.
Let
the
record
reflect
we
have
a
quorum.
A
We
should
have
a
couple
of
other
folks,
hopefully
joining
us
here
shortly
before
well
before
we
begin
I
want
to
note
that
we
will
be
adding
a
walk-on
item
to
the
agenda
today
to
receive
a
presentation
on
the
men
young
men
of
color
sexual
health
work.
This
item
will
be
heard
prior
to
item
six.
First
I'll
go
through
the
consent
agenda.
We
have
five
consent
items
on
today's
agenda.
The
first
is
a
cognate.
Are
contracts
authorizing
contracts
for
one
year
with
Clifton,
Larson,
Allen,
LLP
and
Mike
Wilson
and
associates
for
neighborhood
audit
services
panel.
A
The
this
was
authorizing
two
different
contracts,
one
year
$75,000
through
the
end
of
this
year
to
continue
audit
services
and
financial
management
and
on
filing
support
for
contracted
neighborhood
organizations.
The
second

public
health
advisory
committee.
Appointments
approving
Brenna
Lu
feck
seat,
one
Ward,
one
and
Anna
our

Eight
ward.
Eight
three
is
a
contract
with
Fairview
Health
Services
for
laboratory
testing
testing
services
associated
with
the
city's
school-based
clinics.
Just
as
a
reminder,
a
couple
of
meetings
ago,
we
had
a
very
comprehensive
presentation
on
the
school-based
clinics.
A
Those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
so
before
we
get
started
today
we
do
have
a
presentation,
a
youth
violence,
prevention
presentation,
but
before
that
we,
our
next
item
will
be
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
on
the
young
men's
health.
Young
men
of
color
sexual
health,
work
and
Nigel
will
be
providing
that
presentation.
Can
you
please
state
your
name
for
the
record?
Please.
B
B
Just
to
give
some
background
for
people
that
are
not
familiar
with
our
young
men
of
color
for
sexual
health
services.
Last
year
and
2016,
we
had
an
RFP
process
to
find
a
new
vendor
for
doing
some
work
around
engaging
young
men
of
color
and
addressing
the
disparities
that
create
high
rates
of
STI
use,
an
STD
specific
to
committee
and
gonorrhea
prior
to
2017.
We
were
hoping
to
get
some
additional
funding
from
the
City
Council
as
part
of
the
2017
budget,
what
it
was
cut
at
the
last
minute.
B
So
within
the
2018
budget
we
were
able
to
secure
an
additional
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
we
went
through
a
continuation
of
the
last
RFP
process
and
went
through
our
top
four
candidates
from
the
last
one
and
the
end
decided
to
provide
an
additional
contract
with
neighborhood
health
source
in
the
amount
of
$80,000
and
$680,000.
B
This
would
bring
us
up
to
two
vendors
currently
than
we'd,
be
working
on
with
the
young
men
of
color
sexual
health
work
and
we'll
be
having
a
provider
not
only
in
South
Side
right
now,
with
Pillsbury
theater,
but
also
adding
an
additional
vendor
in
the
north
side
as
well,
and
those
generally
tend
to
be
the
two
highest
areas
within
the
West
Philips
and
around
the
Broadway
area,
where
we
see
the
most
the
highest
rates
greatly.
Thank
you.
A
So
much
are
there
any
questions
from
the
committee
members
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
included
this
in
the
Peace
Committee
I
have
also
I
have
worked
behind
the
scenes
trying
to
help
secure
that
money
for
a
couple
of
years
now
so
I'm
really
grateful
to
see,
there's
actually
be
secured
and
be
moving
forward.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
C
D
B
Chair
Cunningham
council
member
jenkins,
here
for
the
peer
outreach
workers,
those
are
based
out
of
the
pillsbury
United
communities,
Pillsbury,
theatres,
and
so
those
are
part
of
the
budgeting
process.
So
they
actually
pay
the
youth
that
they're
working
with
they're,
not
volunteers,
and
they
also
work
with
the
youth
as
well
to
help
develop
their
skills
as
well
and
providing
opportunities
for
pathways
into
further
public
health
careers
as
well
and.
B
Cunningham
comes
number
Jenkins.
Yes,
we
really
recognize
that
men
who
have
sex
with
men
and
queer
communities
are
part
of
those
that
are
disproportionately
impacted,
and
we
also
recognize
too
that
the
if
the
language
around
young
men
of
color
can
be
somewhat
problematic,
because
it's
not
just
focusing
on
male
identified,
but
also
trans
male
identified
as
well,
and
so
we've
been
very
inclusive
of
those
different
populations.
Understanding
not
everyone
typically
falls
within
the
category
of
male
or
identifies
as
mental.
B
Language,
consul
chair,
councilmember,
Jenkins,
I'm,
hoping
to
work
with
our
new
vendors
and
rebrand.
This
work
to
be
more
inclusive,
specifically
right
now,
with
Pillsbury
theatres,
they
have
their
program
is
called
posh,
which
is
positive
outreach
or
on
sexual
health,
which
is
more
inclusive
than
the
young
men
of
color.
Thank.
A
Thank
you,
Jenkins
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
additionally
for
adding
that
trans
masculine
lens
oftentimes
when
we're
talking
about
young
men
of
color
trans
masculine,
you
can
get
left
out
of
that
conversation.
So
thank
you
to
both
of
you
and
seeing
no
further
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Prez,
and
now
we
will
be
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
on
youth
violence.
Prevention,
I'm
particularly
excited
about
this
work,
I'm
familiar
with
it
from
the
work
previously
that
I
did
in
the
mayor's
office.
A
There's
some
really
really
good
work
happening,
and
so
now
is
the
time
to
be
able
to
really
get
a
better
understand
of
it,
so
that
when
we
look
at
public
when
we
look
at
Public
Safety
we're
really
looking
at
it
from
that
comprehensive
Public,
Health
approach,
so
Sasha,
cotton,
youth,
violence,
coordinator,
Health,
Department,
will
introduce
this
item.
Miss
cotton
and
we
please
say
your
name
for
the
record.
C
Thank
you
for
coming
here.
My
name
is
Sasha
cotton
and
I'm,
the
youth
violence
prevention
coordinator
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
Health
Department.
So,
thank
you
all
for
having
us.
We
look
forward
to
a
robust
presentation.
We
do
have
a
segment
for
questions
at
the
end
but
feel
free
to
chime
in
if
there's
a
question.
That's
just
burning
we're
very
pleased
to
have
our
whole
staff
here
and
they
will
be
jumping
in
to
present.
Our
work
is
really
full
and
everyone's
doing
touch
points
on
youth,
violence
prevention.
C
So,
even
though
violence
prevention
is
in
my
title,
many
of
my
colleagues
we
coming
up
to
talk
specifically
about
their
work
and
how
it
impacts
our
youth
on
prevention
work
overall.
So
you
try
to
move
the
slide
simultaneously.
So
this
is
from
we're
trying
to
incorporate
pictures,
because
we
know
that
they're
interesting
and
keep
folks
engaged
and
also
highlight
the
young
people
who
are
actually
a
part
of
the
work
that
we
do.
C
So
this
is
from
last
year's
youth,
violence,
prevention,
Week
activities,
and
it
was
an
activity
called
hip,
hop
for
Hope,
where
we
did
a
concert
on
the
Northside,
but
we
also
had
young
people
march
through
the
streets.
We
were
able
to
close
the
streets
really
just
trying
to
amplify
the
issue
of
youth
violence
prevention
during
these
violence
prevention
week.
So
we
know
with
new
council
members.
People
may
not
be
familiar
with
the
blueprint,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
went
over
the
history
of
our
work.
C
The
blueprint
for
action
to
prevent
youth
violence
came
into
its
recognition
right
now
in
2008
and
was
brought
about
by
council
action
and
kind
of
was
brought
to
the
forefront
by
then
mayor,
archie
buyback.
What
really
has
lived
in
community
and
in
a
city
in
a
joint
capacity.
So
we're
really
pleased
that
the
way
community
has
been
able
to
be
involved
in
our
work.
The
health
department
and
adolescent
youth
and
health
development
has
been
the
lead
on
the
project,
but
there
are
various
city
partners
at
the
table.
C
The
public
health
approach
also
really
looks
at
a
multi-tiered
system
and
what
you'll
see
on
the
screen
right
now
is
the
prevention
pyramid,
and
it's
something
that
we
use
in
public
health
for
prevention
generally,
but
as
we
think
about
youth
violence
prevention,
particularly
primary
prevention,
which
you'll
see
in
green
deals
with
population-based
issues.
So
it's
really
trying
to
help
us
think,
broadly
about
what's
good
for
all
young
people,
things
like
after-school
programming
and
ensuring
that
adults
have
rarely
opportunities
to
training
that
helps
them
understand
the
needs
of
young
people
mentorship.
C
Those
are
the
kinds
of
programs
that
you
might
think
about
as
it
pertains
to
primary
prevention.
Secondary
prevention
is
really
taking
it
up
a
notch
and
thinking
about
those
youth
we
know,
might
have
indicators
for
being
at
risk
for
being
either
a
victim
or
perpetrator
of
violence.
So
you
might
think
about
intervention
based
programs.
Some
of
the
programs
are
here
about
an
hour.
You
know
presentation
later
on
our
juvenile
supervision.
C
Center
is
one
of
them
or
again,
people
can
come
and
be
safe
and
find
opportunities
for
resources
if
they've
run
into
trouble
with
truancy
or
delinquency
at
the
low
level
before
it's
become
a
chargeable,
offense
and
then
the
third
box
or
triangle
in
red
is
tertiary
and
tertiary
is
really
thinking
about
those
young
people
who
either
themselves
or
who
live
in
communities
that
are
chronically
plagued
by
violence.
Where
we
know
that
violence
has
either
been
an
issue
or
is
very
very
likely
to
have
been
an
issue.
C
How
can
we
make
sure
that
the
violence
is
not
perpetuated
over
and
over
again
and
really
minimize
the
effects
of
the
violence?
So
this
is
how
we
think
about
prevention
in
the
health
department.
I
know.
Sometimes
people
hear
prevention
think
that
we're
just
trying
to
do
things
before
the
problem,
but
we
really
have
a
multi-layer
approach
and
how
we
think
about
prevention
across
the
scale.
C
So
the
blueprint
for
action
to
prevent
youth
violence
operates
with
five
goal
areas.
They
are
to
foster
violent
free
social
environments
for
young
people,
to
connect
young
people
to
caring
adults
to
intervene
with
youth
and
families
at
the
first
sign
of
risk
to
restore
youth
who
have
gone
down
the
wrong
path
and
to
protect
children,
youth
from
violence
in
the
community
and
these
five
goals
really
help
to
drive
the
way
we
do
our
work
as
we
build
programs
and
think
about
partnerships.
C
So
the
five
primary
stages
strategies
excuse
me
when
implementing
our
youth
violence
prevention
efforts
are
planning
and
service
coordination
with
jurisdictional
and
community
partners,
providing
technical
assistance
to
community-based
agencies,
developing
new
programs
to
address
identified
service
gaps
and
outreach,
and
community
engagement
and
the
last
one
is
data.
Analysis
and
I
will
apologize
up
front.
Our
epidemiologists,
my
research
department
was
supposed
to
be
here
to
provide
a
research
update,
just
a
small
snapshot
of
what
should
be
a
much
more
larger
conversation
with
you
all
and
unfortunately
he
is
ill
today.
C
So
I
will
do
my
best
at
the
end,
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
data
that
we
do
have,
but
I'm
just
offering
a
forewarning
that
I
am
NOT
a
researcher
by
training,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
you
all
know
that
there
will.
You
know
there
is
someone
available
to
talk
more
robustly
about
the
data
at
your
request,
so
planning
and
service
coordination.
The
picture
you
see
here
is
actually
from
a
meeting
that
we
had
in
late
2017
we're
in
the
process
of
really
thinking
about.
C
What
has
worked,
but
also
really
to
get
feedback
about
what
hasn't
worked
and
what
we
can
do
better.
So
that's
just
a
nice
picture
highlight
some
of
that
work,
planning
and
service
coordination.
So
one
of
the
key
ways
that
we
do
our
planning
and
service
coordination
is
through
our
multi
jurisdictional
team.
C
One
of
the
most
significant
ways
that
we've
looked
at
strategic
planning
has
been
around
Saint
Patrick's
Day.
In
years
past
we've
had
some
issues
with
young
people,
particularly
our
own
safety,
during
st.
Patrick's
Day.
We
know
that
it's
a
huge
celebration,
but
it's
not
necessarily
defined
for
young
people,
there's
not
really
space
for
them
to
hold
there,
but
they
were
still
coming
downtown
and
sometimes
creating
challenges
and
even
violence.
C
You
know
potential
problems
with
the
police,
and
so
over
the
years
we've
been
able
to
organize
using
the
multi
jurisdictional
team,
with
parks
and
other
agencies
who
are
doing
strategic
outreach
to
make
sure
that
young
people
have
not
only
resources
downtown
during
Saint,
Patrick's
Day,
but
also
opportunities
to
do
other
things
that
are
celebratory.
So
our
partners
and
Parks
have
taken
young
people
by
the
busload
to
water
parks
or
skating
rinks
on
the
same
night
as
the
st.
C
Patrick's
Day
parade
to
offer
an
alternative
way
to
celebrate
that
doesn't
require
them
coming
down
to
an
adult
space
and
then
evaluation
of
youth,
violence,
prevention,
programming
and
process.
This
is
an
informal
evaluation,
but
it
allows
us
the
opportunity
to
really
think
through
what
we
think
each
of
our
our
systems
are
doing
well
and
where
we
can
be
doing
better
and
try
to
hold
each
other
accountable
to
how
that
process
could
look
differently.
C
So
these
are
some
of
the
partners
that
sit
around
the
multi
jurisdictional
team.
Health
leads
this:
what
police
are
present:
youth,
employment
and
training,
neighbourhood
and
community
relations,
the
mayor's
office,
the
city
coordinators
office
with
Rica
rest
and
then
outside
of
the
mini
auto
bar
outside
of
our
city?
C
Excuse
me:
parks
are
at
the
table:
the
public
school
system,
Metro
Transit,
Police
typing
how
many
Community
Corrections
and
Rehabilitation
Youth
Coordinating
Board,
and
the
US
Attorney's
Office,
and
so
this
table
is
really
open
to
a
wide
range
of
multi
jurisdictional
partners
and
any
council
members
would
like
to
come
or
have
their
aides
attend.
Those
meetings,
please
let
us
know
and
we'll
be
sure
to
add
those
names
to
our
mailing
list.
C
C
So
thinking
about
technical
assistance
to
our
partners,
which
is
another
hallmark
of
our
work,
this
is
sort
of
our
the
logo
that
we've
been
using
for
our
blueprint,
approved
institute.
It's
it's
blue,
so
the
blueprint
is
actually
a
capacity-building
Institute
that
we
designed
about
four
years
ago
and
really
the
intention
with
the
blueprint
was
to
provide
small,
local
grassroots
ease
with
an
opportunity
to
partner
with
the
city,
but
also
to
really
build
their
skills.
C
What
we
saw
over
and
over
again
were
individuals,
particularly
people
who
had
maybe
been
perpetrators
of
violence
or
victims
of
violence
and
their
youth,
who
really
wanted
to
give
back
and
do
work
around
youth
violence
prevention
and
they
had
great
ideas,
but
they
didn't
have
the
technical
skills
they
didn't
know
how
to
write
a
grant.
They
didn't
know
how
to
develop
a
budget.
C
They
weren't
clear
about
board
development,
and
so
we
started
initially
with
pulling
eight
different
agencies
together
as
a
cohort
and
doing
really
in-depth
training
with
them
on
a
variety
of
those
things
that
we
just
talked
about,
as
well
as
more
soft
skills
like
mental
health
and
youth.
You
know
building
their
capacity
to
think
about
GLBTQ,
youth
thinking
about
technology
and
how
young
people
can
you
know
have
really
come
into
a
time
where
technology
is
so
important.
If
we're
gonna.
Do
youth
outreach?
C
Just
last
year
in
2016,
we
changed
our
model
a
little
bit,
and
now
we
offer
a
series
of
public
trainings
that
are
open
to
the
public.
Anyone
who's
interested
in
learning
more
about
youth
violence
prevention
over
ten
weeks
can
participate
in
those
trainings
they're,
free
of
cost
and
part
of
the
reason
we
did.
That
was
because
we
felt
like
as
a
public
health
agency
and
as
a
city.
It's
just
a
good
practice.
C
We
know
that
oftentimes,
especially
those
small
agencies,
feel
really
boxed
out
of
being
able
to
access
the
resources
and
technical
assistance
that
the
city
can
provide
and
blueprint
approved.
Institute
has
really
proven
to
be
a
way
that
small
agencies
can
get
into
relationship
with
the
city
and
meet
folks
who
are
key
players.
C
E
Afternoon,
chair
cunningham
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Josh
Peterson
and
the
youth
intervention
coordinator
with
the
health
I'm
really
just
here
to
give
Sasha's
voice
a
break.
But
since
I'm
here
I'll
talk
about
some
programs
so
as
I've
met,
Sasha
mention
one
of
the
other
areas
where
we
do.
Some
technical
assistance
is
the
coaching
boys
into
men
project.
E
So
we
were
one
of
five
cities
selected
by
the
Centers
for
Disease,
Control
and
Prevention
to
implement
a
project
focused
on
preventing
teen,
dating
violence
and
youth
violence
by
addressing
shared
risk
and
protective
factors,
and
so
through
that
project
we
have
two
strategies,
one
of
which
is
the
coaching
boys
into
men.
Work.
Coaching
boys
Newman
is
an
evidence-based
curriculum
developed
by
an
organization
called
teachers
without
violence,
which
is
really
meant
to
instill
the
values
of
respect,
integrity
and
non-violence
with
young
male
athletes
who
play
sports
at
the
high
school
level.
E
So
it
leverages
the
the
power
of
the
coach
athlete
relationship
at
that
that
high
school
sports
level
and
coaches
deliver
a
curriculum
with
their
students
throughout
the
course
of
a
season.
That
really
is
meant
to
teach
healthy
relationship
skills
and
the
idea
that
violence
doesn't
equal
strength.
So
we
are
working
with
many
of
us
public
schools
to
help
implement
that
curriculum.
E
So
we
have
a
staff
April
Graves,
who
is
training
their
coaches
and
who's
their
sort
of
on-site
as
an
advocate
to
help
implement
that,
and
we
are
so,
we
started
out
with
North
High,
their
football
team,
this
past
fall
and
we're
working
to
expand
to
Henry
and
Edison
coming
up,
there's
also
some
interest
in
expanding
throughout
those
public
schools
down
the
line.
With
that
one
note
on
that
this
sort
of
dovetails
from
Nigel's
conversation
earlier.
E
We
recognize
that
there
are
some
limitations
with
the
coaching
boys
into
men
program,
specifically
that
it's
just
directed
toward
young
men
and
we
are
actively
working
both
with
our
partners
at
CDC
and
some
of
the
other
sites
across
the
country
who
are
doing
coaching
boys
into
men
around
some
ways
to
make
it
more
inclusive.
There
is
a
program
that's
just
being
developed
for
young
women
who
play
sports,
so
we're
looking
at
that.
E
We're
also
looking
at
ways
to
you
know,
make
adaptations
to
the
curriculum
to
make
it
more
friendly
to
young
people
identify
as
trans
or
gender
by
gender
non-binary.
So
we
think
the
coaching
boys
into
men
is
a
great
resource,
we're
also
interested
in
sort
of
how
we
can
both
improve
upon
that
resource
and
improve
the
capacity
of
our
partners
that
we're
working
with
specifically
the
schools
and
other
programs
around
how
they're
engaging
those
young
people
I
want.
A
To
go
ahead
and
jump
in
if
I
may
so
I
want
to
add
to
the
so
this
particular
program
I
feel
like
at
the
goal
of
it.
I
don't
know
if
I
don't
know
if
gender
splitting
in
that
way
is
necessary
because
I'm
thinking
to
myself
about
masculine
girls
and
how
especially
like
from
what
I've
seen
working
at
youth
volunteering
at
youth
playing
for
as
long
as
I
have
that
it's
typically
butch
black
girls
who
experience
a
lot
of
homelessness.
E
Chuckling
I
appreciate
that
I
think
that's
exactly
right.
I
think
that
there's
a
natural
sort
of
gender
split
with
this,
because
the
curriculum
is
designed
to
be
used
with
high
school
sports
teams
and
they
are
sort
of
by
nature
split
by
gender
and
I.
Think
that
you
right
there
are
larger
issues
at
play
like
toxic
masculinity,
which
are
applicable
to
both
genders
and
I,
think
which
are
identified
and
sort
of
both
both
program
areas
right.
D
E
D
E
Cher
Cunningham
Culpepper
Jenkins
Jenkins
I
appreciate
that
I
will
say
that
the
curriculum
itself
is
not
specifically
designed
for
african-american
young
men.
The
curriculum
has
been
used
across
the
country
in
cities,
with
all
sorts
of
different
demographic
makeups.
The
reason
that
we're
focused
on
the
Northside
is
that,
for
this
larger
CDC
grant,
that
is
the
population
focus.
So
it's
not
that
it's
specifically
for
african-american
young
men,
so
much
is
that
were
specifically
focused
on
the
Northside.
E
I
will
also
say
that
the
curriculum
is
really
focused
on
sort
of
healthy
relationship
skills
so
well,
it
does
get
at
some
of
the
things
that
might
be
sort
of
some
of
the
same
risk
factors
for
mass
shooters
and
others.
It
really
is
sort
of
a
healthy
relationship
curriculum.
This
particular
component
I,
think.
E
So
I'm
going
to
move
on
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
new
program
development.
This
photo
you'll,
see
fargy,
show
here
who
you're
gonna
hear
from
a
little
bit
later
is
one
of
our
violence,
intervention
specialists
with
our
next
step
program,
but
before
we
get
to
that,
so
one
of
the
roles
of
Public
Health,
the
Sasha
sort
of
alluded
to
a
little
bit
earlier,
is
identifying
gaps
in
what
services
might
exist
out
there
and
then
really
trying
to
fill
those
gaps
and
be
sort
of
a
program
incubator.
E
E
The
Health
Department
is
also
involved
with
helping
to
develop
that
builds
leaders
program
which
chair,
Cunningham,
was
also
involved
with
the
mayor's
office,
did
a
great
job
sort
of
getting
that
off
the
ground
and
that
now
lives
with
many
opposite
Malayan
employment
and
training,
and
that's
in
part,
because
Health
has
a
large
role
to
play
in
for
developing
these
types
of
programs.
But
we
also
recognize
that
employment
really
isn't
sort
of
our
our
biggest
area.
E
So
when
appropriate,
it
makes
sense
to
sort
of
hand
those
programs
off
to
the
folks
who
are
better
equipped
to
run
them.
That
said,
there
are
a
number
of
programs
that
are
sort
of
living
with
they'll
Department
right
now,
either
because
they
sort
of
fall
within
our
area
of
expertise
or
because
they're
newer
program
areas
that
we're
sort
of
just
developing
getting
off
the
ground.
E
So
one
of
those
programs
is
a
program
called
inspiring
youth.
Inspiring
youth
is
a
program
for
young
people
who
are
at
risk
of
involvement
with
violence.
So
these
are
young
people
who
often
are
exposed
to
the
same
risk
factors
or
sort
of
lack
of
protective
factors
as
those
young
people
who
have
already
been
victimized.
Your
goal
already
might
be
on
probation,
but
they
don't
have
access
to
services,
often
because
they
aren't
on
probation.
So
really
what
we
saw
sort
of
was
this
gap
of.
E
If
you
want
to
get
access
to
a
lot
of
great
sort
of
array
of
community-based
services,
you
need
to
be
on
probation.
We
said
that
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense.
Why
don't
we
try
and
address
the
issue
before
these
young
people
are
caught
up
in
the
system,
so
inspiring
youth
was
sort
of
born
out
of
that
as
an
early
intervention
program,
and
it
provides
sort
of
a
combination
of
case
management
and
mentorship
to
young
people.
E
We
are
getting
referrals
for
that
program
from
some
schools,
so
Anderson
middle
school
and
Sanford
middle
school
are
making
referrals
we're
also
getting
referrals
from
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department's
juvenile
diversion
program,
and
briefly,
the
idea
with
that
is
that
the
police
departments,
Juvenal
diversion
program,
provides
a
restorative
justice.
Intervention
for
young
people
who
go
through
it,
which
is
great
with
sort
of
just
sort
of
justice,
is
very
effective,
works
very
well,
but
it
doesn't
always
address.
E
E
The
idea
behind
next
step,
really
is
that
gunshot
wound
or
stab
wound
is
much
more
than
just
a
physical
injury
and
young
people
who
are
shot
or
stabbed
and
treated
the
hospital
need
much
more
than
just
to
be
stitched
up
and
sent
on
their
way.
So
if
you're,
a
young
person
you're
shot
if
you're
anybody
in
your
shot,
you
know
through
the
arm
through
and
through,
you
may
be
stitched
up
and
sent
anyway
from
the
hospital
in
a
matter
of
hours.
E
You've
gotten
really
great
medical
care,
but
no
one
has
had
a
conversation
with
you
around.
What
was
happened
in
your
life
that
might
have
may
have
led
to
that
situation
in
the
first
place
and
I
think,
more
importantly,
what
additional
skills
and
resources
do
you
now
have
to
go
back
to
that
same
community
in
which
you
were
hurt
to
try
and
address
you
know
the
impact
of
this
trauma,
so
this
project
was
many
years
in
the
making
it
finally
launched
in
2016.
E
We,
since
2016
we've
served
about
175
participants
as
of
the
one
year
mark.
We
did
sort
of
a
hospital
recidivism
check.
We've
served
about
a
hundred
young
people
by
that
point,
and
only
three
of
those
young
people
had
returned
to
HCMC
with
the
same
or
same
or
similar
injury
which
to
us
is
a
tremendous
success.
We
know
that
the
rate
of
re-injury
for
these
young
people
is
very
high,
so
to
have
only
three
young
people
come
back
within
that
year,
with
the
same
or
similar
injury
is,
is
really
a
great
success.
E
A
little
bit
later,
you're
going
to
hear
from
fargy
sure
here
our
violence,
intervention,
specialist
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
and
Albirex
who
is
one
of
our
primary
partners
from
HCMC
she's,
their
director
of
support
services
there,
and
without
her
this,
this
partnership
wouldn't
exist.
So
thank
you
and
with
that
I'm
gonna
hand
it
back
to
Sasha.
I
talked
about
Juliette.
C
Thank
You
Josh
and
thanks
again
for
having
us
so
GPI
is
an
evidence-based
model
that
was
created
by
John,
Jay
College
and
the
national
network
for
safe
communities,
which
is
in
New
York,
and
they
provide
a
tremendous
amount
of
technical
support
and
technical
assistance
to
us
with
multiple
phone
calls
every
week
and
site
visits
on
a
regular
basis.
So
we're
very
grateful
to
have
that
partnership
and
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
implementing
with
fidelity
and
not
just
doing
something
haphazardly.
It
reduces
Street
group
rounds
involved
in
homicides
and
gun
violence
and
I.
C
Think
it's
really
important
to
articulate
that.
Sometimes
people
think
that
GP
is
a
broad-based
violence
prevention
strategy
and
it
really
is
about
the
guns,
and
so
our
measures
are
primarily
of
our
guns
and
our
outcomes
are
really
about
gun
defense
reductions.
We
definitely
want
to
see
improvement
and
quality
of
life
as
well,
so
we're
looking
at
both
sides
of
that
equation.
But
it's
not
thinking
about
things
like
robbery
or
you
know.
Car
accidents
there's
really
a
high
focus
on
the
guns.
C
A
partnership
between
community
members,
law
enforcement
and
social
service
providers
is
what
this
looks
at.
So
GBI
is
focused
on
three
pillars,
so
it
looks
at
a
law
enforcement
strategy
that
makes
a
promise,
so
the
promise
that
law
enforcement
make
through
GBI
is
that
the
group
violence
is
no
longer
tolerable
that
law
enforcement
cares
about.
The
community
wants
them
to
be
successful,
but
that
that
includes
everyone
and
providing
safety
for
everyone
is
a
really
important
part
of
what
they
do
and
group
violence
is
a
violation
of
those
safety
tenets.
The
community
also
stands
with
us.
C
We
have
a
community
moral
voice
group
that
meets
monthly
there's
about
12
active
members,
it's
open
to
the
public
across
the
city,
anyone
who's
interested
in
being
a
part
of
that.
You
know,
please
feel
free
to
share
that
with
your
constituency
we
meet
at
neon
on
the
last
Tuesday
of
every
month
and
our
goal.
There
is
really
making
sure
that
the
community
is
having
a
voice,
but
also
holding
us
accountable
with
our
strategy
that,
if
we're
not
improving
community
trust,
if
we're
doing
more
harm
than
good,
we
want
the
community
to
give
us
that
feedback.
C
We
don't
want
to
do
this
in
isolation.
Part
of
the
reason
the
city
really
looked
at
GBI
was
because
it
brought
that
community
voice
to
the
table
for
accountability.
So
it's
important
that
we
keep
that
robust.
We
had
a
two-day
retreat.
This
fall
with
those
members
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
had
both
clear
knowledge
about
what
the
philosophy
is,
but
also
an
opportunity
to
provide
information
about
the
strategy
and
what
they
want
to
see
on
the
ground.
As
we
move
forward
with
the
project,
it
also
engages
social
services.
C
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
young
men,
particularly
because
that's
primary
demographic,
but
young
people
across
the
board
have
an
opportunity
to
get
real
help
if
they're
interested
in
leaving
a
lifestyle
that
involves
gangs,
groups
and
cliques,
and
so
social
services
become
a
really
critical
part
of
that
analysis.
Right
now,
our
primary
partner
is
north
quaint,
engages
with
a
small
and
active
number
of
people
involved
in
Street
groups.
So
we
know
that
it's
usually
less
than
half
a
percent
of
any
city's
population.
C
That's
driving
a
significant
amount
of
its
gun
violence
and
that
often
those
are
people
who
have
fewer
access
to
resources,
fewer
ability
to
leave
the
network
of
people
that
they're
connected
to
and
find
ways
to
get
positive,
pro-social
outlets.
And
so
we
want
to
be
making
sure
that
that's
who
are
paying
attention
to
both
with
a
law
enforcement
lens,
but
also
with
the
community
and
help
lens,
and
that
we're
not
making
random
and
arbitrary
stops
on
everyone
who
meets
the
description
of
a
suspect.
C
But
that
were
really
focused
on
the
people
who
are
most
likely
to
commit
the
crime
and
that
are
most
likely
to
need.
The
help
that
were
able
to
offer
and
communicates
a
credible
moral
message
against
violence
prior
notice
about
the
consequences
of
further
violence
and
a
genuine
offer
of
help.
For
those
who
want
it.
And
so
those
messages
are
primarily
communicated
in
one
of
two
ways.
One
is
a
column
which
we've
had
to
Collins
this
year.
A
column
is
a
meeting
where,
through
probation,
the
community
and
the
police
department
were
able
to
call
in
Jung.
C
Thus
far,
all
of
them
have
been
young
men
and
offer
them
a
message
about
the
violence,
so
that
message
about
the
violence
being
intolerable,
but
also
voices
from
the
community
about
why
the
violence
is
intolerable.
So
we've
had
bunny
beats
whose
mother
you
know
the
case
is
actually
being
heard
right
now
for
sentencing
and
we've
had
Jamil
Jackson
who's,
the
head
coach
at
Patrick
Henry
come
and
talk
about
how
the
violence
impacts
his
players,
how
it
impacts
his
practices.
Why?
C
He
knows
that
the
young
men
who
are
sitting
before
him
can
do
better
can
be
better
he's
coached
many
of
them.
So
it
really
is
a
collaboration
of
law
enforcement
and
the
community
and
also
other
jurisdictional
stakeholders.
So
our
United
States
Attorney
speaks
there.
The
county
attorney
as
well
as
the
chief
to
really
talk
about
the
impact
of
the
violence.
Just
for
some
data
snap
shots
this
year,
gun
recoveries
are
up
by
fifty
four
point.
C
It
has
the
Intel
that
they
need
both
from
their
observation,
but
also
insight
from
the
community
that
we're
getting
the
right
people
with
the
right
stocks
to
get
the
guns
off
the
street,
which
is
a
really
important
tenets
of
GBI,
but
also
have
a
broader
public
health
approach
and
gunshot
victims
are
down
by
eighteen
point,
four
percent.
So
we
really
feel
like
we're,
seeing
some
significant
trends
in
the
right
direction,
as
we've
implemented
GBI
to
date.
C
Since
we
started
the
project
on
May
5th
of
2016,
we've
served,
60,
67,
clients,
we've
relocated,
I,
think
five
of
them
to
other
jurisdictions,
because
it
just
wasn't
safe
for
them
to
be
in
Minneapolis,
but
we've
also
helped
a
number
of
them
get
services
that
they
needed
around
employment.
Education,
one
of
the
young
men
that
just
glimmers
in
my
mind,
came
in
and
hasn't
been
able
to
complete
high
school
but
scored
as
college
ready
on
his
GED
test
without
any
preparation.
So
we've
got
young
brilliance
out
there
that
we
just
need
to
harvest
and
I.
C
B
B
Safe
harbor
law,
which
is
addressing
the
needs
of
youth
under
the
age
of
18,
have
been
impacted
by
sexual
commercial,
sex
radiation,
sex
trafficking,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
work
they've
been
doing
since
they've
been
starting,
has
really
been
developing
our
capacity
internally
to
address
the
issue,
then
also
working
with
some
community
partners
on
outreach
project
that
thank
you
to
come
to
my
by
Cano
and
being
able
to
secure
funds
for
that.
And
so
we
work
with
family
partnerships.
B
For
example,
one
of
the
things
they
did
with
the
padrone
parks,
Neighborhood
Association,
was
work
with
their
crime
watch
group
to
be
a
little
bit
more
intentional
about
their
their
crime
watch
outreach
where
they
tend
to
be
a
little
bit
more
aggressive
with
people
that
they
saw
particularly
pimps
and
oftentimes.
B
That
could
lead
to
very
significant
safety
issues,
not
just
for
the
residents,
but
also
for
the
women
and
victims
themselves
that
are
on
the
streets,
so
they've
been
able
to
work
with
them
and
kind
of
develop
some
better
skills
and
how
they
do
their
work.
They've
also
worked
with
both
the
community
agencies
and
the
community
businesses
around.
B
What
are
those
hotspots
within
that
area,
so
they
can
really
focus
on
targeting
outreach
within
the
boundaries
that
I
mentioned
was
over
all
over
this
past
year,
they've
been
able
to
reach
out
to
166
people
through
outreach
and
part
of
the
outreach
is
also
engaging
them
in
service.
So
the
name
the
numbers
a
little
bit
smaller
in
terms
of
engagement
services,
but
966
have
been
engaged
in
long
term
services
and
they've
been
able
to
reach
out
to
178
community
members
through
the
different
meetings
that
they've
had
with
neighborhood
associations
as
well.
B
Additionally,
some
of
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
around
commercial
sexual
exploitation.
Such
trafficking
has
been
motivated
by
the
recent
Super
Bowl,
so
as
part
of
capacity-building.
Internally
I
worked
with
our
health
inspection
team
and
Hennepin
sheriff's,
and
also
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
to
do
training
for
all
our
health
inspection
staff
and
our
jurisdictional
partners
as
part
of
their
work,
and
overall
we
trained
a
hundred
staff
from
both
our
health
inspection
team,
environmental,
health
and
our
jurisdictional
partners
within
the
seven-county
metro
area.
B
We
also
did
a
regular
surf
training
for
regulatory
services,
including
business
licensing
and
animal
control
and
trafficking
control
as
well
training,
97,
different
individuals
and
then,
as
part
of
back
to
school.
We
also
trained
all
our
school-based
clinic
staff
and
preparation
for
back
to
school
and
the
Super
Bowl.
And
finally,
we
also
I've
also
been
working
on
developing
tools
both
to
use
internally
and
externally
for
community
members
on
identifying
victims.
B
We
developed
a
guide
for
people
that
are
seeking
short
term
license
as
well
for
short
term
rentals
to
identify
potential
opportunities
or
potential
commercial
exploitation
or
sex
trafficking,
as
they
relate
to
that
business
and
then
also
as
part
of
some
of
the
larger
superable
planning's
is
the
women's
foundation.
We
developed
a
resource
list
for
training,
specifics
to
the
industry's
impacted,
potentially
by
the
Super
Bowl,
so
hotels,
transportation,
restaurants
and
medical
as
well.
C
C
Pop-Up
parks
operate
throughout
the
city
and
utilize
vacant,
lots
and
parks
that
are
under
resourced,
with
actual
buildings,
as
well
as
street
fairs,
to
really
create
safe
places
for
young
people,
to
connect
with
caring
adults
and
to
have
spaced
hold
from
four
to
nine
six
days
a
week
we
usually
start
the
week
after
school,
that's
out
in
the
summer
and
go
until
right
before
school
gets
ready
to
start
they're,
also
responsive.
So,
for
example,
last
year
after
we
had
an
incident
of
shooting,
the
police
and
other
business
owners
were
really
struggling
with.
C
How
do
we
engage
the
young
people
who
are
holding
space
as
a
memorial
without
violating
the
tenants,
the
business?
You
know
they're
standing
in
front
of
businesses,
and
so
we
were
able
to
provide
a
pop-up
park
in
that
space
to
give
those
young
people
an
opportunity
to
grieve
the
loss
that
they
had
had,
but
also
be
pro-social
and
connected
with
services
and
feed
them
and
just
take
care
of
them
and
love
them.
So
the
community
engagement
strategy
of
the
Papa
parks
is
just
one
way
that
we
do
that
work.
C
E
Again,
share
cunningham
and
councilmembers.
I'm
gonna
talk
briefly
about
an
additional
component
of
our
cdc
project,
so
I
mentioned
earlier
the
coaching
boys
and
demand.
This
is
the
other
strategy
we're
working
with
on
that
project,
so
you
all
may
be
familiar
with
the
youth
coordinating
board.
They
have
done
outreach
downtown
and
in
schools
over
the
past
six
or
so
years.
E
The
funding
from
the
cdc
has
allowed
us
to
expand
that
outreach
teams
work
to
north
minneapolis,
which
is
really
great,
because
it
allows
an
opportunity
to
engage
young
people
and
adults
in
the
neighborhoods
in
communities
so
through
that
a
team
of
outreach
workers
who
are
Youth
Work
professionals
are
really
sort
of
building
and
sustaining
safe
environments,
they're
working
in
the
neighborhoods
on
the
Block
in
businesses,
on
transit
in
parks.
Really,
the
idea
is
to
engage
positively
with
young
people
connecting
people
the
resources
as
needed,
provide
information
about
youth,
friendly
resources
and
I
think
critically.
E
Another
component
of
it
is
that
the
the
youth
work
professionals
are
also
engaging
with
adults
in
those
spaces
trying
to
help
those
adults
how
how
to
better
understand
how
to
engage
positively
with
young
people,
because
they're
only
out
there.
You
know
I
handful
of
hours
per
week
and
those
young
people
are
existing
in
these
spaces
with
adults
all
the
time.
So
if
we
can
give
those
adults
some
skills
around
how
to
successfully
engage
with
young
people,
I
think
we're
gonna
have
much
more
much
more
of
a
long-term
sustainable
impact.
There
I.
A
Have
a
quick
question:
if
I
can
jump
in
here,
I
wanted
to
know
where,
exactly
because
when
people
say
North,
Minneapolis,
there's
both
words
four
and
five,
so
just
kind
of
where
will
the
Weiss
I'm
excited
to
see
this
by
the
way
it's
like
yeah?
This
is
really
needed
in
the
community,
so
just
curious
as
to
where
those
resources
are
being
targeted
right
now,
absolutely.
E
Terry
Cunningham,
council
members.
Thank
you.
So,
at
this
point,
they're
really
one
of
the
valve
sir
most
valuable
things
about
the
Irish
team.
Is
that
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
where
they
can
go
so
at
this
point
they've
been
in
spaces
throughout
word
for
in
Ward
5,
they
tend
to
focus
around
spaces
where
young
people
are
so
they've
spent
some
time
around
Gerry
Gamble's,
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
They
spend
time
in
around
schools.
E
They
spend
time
around
the
West
Broadway
corridor
there
on
Lowry
there
at
North,
Regional
Library
there
at
Webber
Park
their
fall
well,
they're
far
view
so
really
sort
of
throughout
both
wards
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
nice
things
about
sure
that
flexibility
of
malleability,
where
they
can
go,
is
that
we
can
be
responsive
to
feedback
from
partners
in
community.
So,
for
example,
Sasha
mentioned
the
sort
of
ad
hoc
pop-up
park.
E
They
came
up
in
response
to
this
shooting
we
were
able
to
both
get
the
average
team
at
that
pop-up
park,
but
then
also
to
be
sort
of
focused
in
that
neighborhood
in
the
weeks
that
followed
this
so
that
they
can
have
some
targeted
attention.
There
so
we
have
this
sort
of
resource
were
able
to
deploy
out
on
me
just
sort
of
speak
of
it
in
those
inhumane
terms,
but
are
in
human
terms,
but
we
have
a
resource
that
can
be
deployed
as
needed.
C
So
we
do
activities
and
events
throughout
this
entire
week.
Two
of
the
hallmarks
are
a
conference
for
young
men
and
boys
of
color
that
we
partner
with
MCTC
to
do
and
that
will
be
on
April
5th
April
4th
we'll
have
a
symposium
for
young
women
for
young
girls.
Excuse
me
in
partnership
with
Minneapolis
Parks
and
Rec
that
will
be
at
North
Commons.
It's
really
just
an
opportunity
again
to
celebrate
our
young
people.
C
We
also
will
do
a
series
of
other
activities
throughout
that
week,
we're
in
the
process
of
curating
applications
from
people
and
agencies
across
Minneapolis
who
want
a
host
on
youth
violence
prevention
activity
in
the
past.
We've
done
one
every
every
single
day
during
that
week
and
we
actually
just
extended
the
application
process
through
Thursday
of
this
week.
So
if
you
have
agencies
or
people
in
your
board,
so
you
think
would
be
really
interested
in
partnering
with
the
city
to
host
an
event.
C
It
could
be
a
movie
screen
or
talking
circle
or
competition
or
anything
they
could
think
of.
They
could
tie
a
youth
violence
prevention
theme
to
the
city's
willing
to
reimburse
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
to
agencies
who
want
to
do
an
activity
like
that.
So
we
just
think
it's
a
really
great
time
to
celebrate
our
young
people
and
highlight
the
good
work.
That's
happening
across
Minneapolis.
C
This
is
the
tricky
part
because
again
I'm,
not
a
research
person
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
talk
to
you
guys
about
these
numbers
and
if
you
have
questions
I'll
try
to
answer
them.
So
we
do
do
data
analysis.
In
the
past
every
year
we
had
done
a
results.
Minneapolis
report,
the
last
one
that
was
done
was
in
2015.
That's
the
last
time
we
were
asked
to
pull
one
together,
and
so
we
continue
to
collect
the
data
but
haven't
put
out
an
actual
report,
but
we're
looking
forward
to
doing
one
in
the
near
future.
C
C
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
highlight
is
that
in
2015
we
saw
a
significant
spike,
and
that
was
really
right
around
the
time
that
our
team
started
to
think
really
critically
about
what
kind
of
programs
we
need
to
have
that
look
specifically
at
guns,
and
so
that's
where
we
came
up
with
the
idea.
Really
next
up,
I've
been
in
the
in
the
incubator
for
a
while.
C
But
what
really
pushed
us
to
go
out
on
a
limb
for
next
step
and
then
really
start
thinking
critically
about
funds
for
GBI
and
so
again,
not
taking
credit
but
seeing
the
trend
going
downward.
We
think
that
those
programs
are
helping
to
make
a
difference
in
the
issue
of
youth,
homicides,
so
violent
crime
and
victimization
again,
these
trends
are
going
down
a
little
but
they're
still
higher
than
we'd
like.
So
we
continue
to
think
about
programs
and
policies
that
could
potentially
help
to
bring
those
numbers
even
lower.
C
And
again
you
can
see
that
the
Green
is
our
18
to
24
year
old
demographic,
so
next
up
GPI.
Some
of
our
other
programs
that
are
newer
also
have
a
folk
on
that
age
bracket
because
we
know
that
there's
such
a
high
need
and
that
the
needs
of
that
community
have
not
always
been
addressed
for
that
age.
Demographic
have
not
always
been
addressed
in
our
poor
planning.
C
This
one
is
for
violent-crime
involvement
with
all
youth
up
to
ages.
24
again,
we're
really
happy
to
see
those
trends
going
down.
We
want
to
just
continue
to
put
pressure
on
the
programs
that
were
utilizing,
make
them
as
robust
as
possible
in
hopes
that
we
can
continue
to
see
those
numbers
going
down.
15
and
16.
C
We
have
a
relationship
through
our
National
Forum
on
youth
violence
prevention
status,
the
Department
of
Justice,
as
we've
asked
them
to
help
us
think
through
what
we
could
be
doing
around
governance
and
to
mirror
other
structures
across
the
15
other
agencies
who
are
part
of
the
National
Forum
and
what
kind
of
governance
structures
they
are
using.
The
group
that
I
showed
you
earlier
that
we
pulled
together
to
help
us
think
through
our
next
steps.
C
Moving
forward
both
around
revitalizing
the
governance
structure
and
trying
to
come
up
with
a
new
blueprint,
because
we
know
that
we're
a
little
out
of
date
and
want
to
revamp
and
refresh
that
plan
to
include
all
the
work
that
you've
heard
about,
because
many
of
these
programs
aren't
in
that
that
booklet
in
that
particular
plan.
So
those
are
two
pieces
of
work
that
we
know
in
2018
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
tackle
and
would
certainly
love
any
input
or
insight
from
the
council
on
those
matters.
C
Did
you
have
a
question?
We
also
are
very
pleased
to
have
two
of
our
staff
members,
one
from
the
next
up,
Hospital
based
intervention
program
and
the
other
from
the
group
violence.
Intervention
strategy
just
just
shares
some
testimonies.
So
at
this
time
we'll
have
our
G
show
here
come
and
talk
about
next
up,
but
that's
okay,
I.
F
I
had
a
couple
questions
that
I
just
had
one
on
the
executive
committee
issue,
so
that
was
created
by
a
city
council
resolution.
So
it's
probably
something
that
you
should
get
the
council
direct
Ramat
amend
the
resolution.
If
we're
going
to
amend
the
executive
committee,
it
would
have
been
nice.
Maybe
if
we
had
some
role
to
play
and
reshaping
it
or
suspending
its
activity,
I
also
understand
it
was
very
much
initiated
from
the
mayor's
office
back
in
the
day,
but
let's
just
make
sure
that
we
do
that
work
together.
Thank.
C
You
for
that
and
just
to
that
point,
the
appointments
ended
in
2017,
and
so
they
would
have
been
reappointments
through
the
mayor's
office,
which
you
know
didn't
happen,
unfortunately
in
last
year,
and
so
we're
looking
forward
to
what
that
might
look
like
under
this
new
administration
of
a
couple
of
council,
the
mayor.
So
any
insight
or
thoughts
that
anyone
has
would
be
very
open
to
working
in
partnership
and
taking
a
leadership
from
this
council.
Well.
F
C
C
D
G
When
we
first
started
out,
we
didn't
think
we
were
gonna,
make
it
this
far
and
see
the
kind
of
improvement
that
we've
been
seeing.
But
if
you
imagine
a
young
man
in
the
community
is
shot
13
times.
Look
like
what's
going
to
make
him
stop.
You
know
by
initiating
these
kind
of
programs
into
the
hospital
we
actually
found
a
way
to
these
young
men
I
actually
changed
their
lives
around
and
stopped
being
victims
and
actually
doing
things
to
kind
of
better
themselves
and
better
them
better
their
lives.
G
We
have
now
about
175
individuals
who
are
who
have
been
through
the
program.
There
are
multiple
that
have
not
been
through
the
program
due
to
the
age,
demographics
and
also
due
to
them
not
wanting
to
cooperate
with
the
program.
We
do
have
a
lot
about
an
85
percent
turnaround.
Well,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
more
than
that,
but
pretty
much
everybody
that
we
meet,
who
has
been
a
victim
of
a
gunshot
wound.
G
Have
you
guys
ever
dealt
with
someone
who's
been
shot
or
seen
that
scene
or
have
been
inside
of
a
hospital
when
someone's
dealing
with
that
kind
of
situation?
It's
pretty
traumatic
and
it
not
only
affects
the
individual
who
was
laying
in
a
bed,
but
it
also
affects
this
immediate
family
and
in
the
media
community,
in
which
that
young
man
is
from
Sasha
I
mentioned.
G
The
one
thing
that
we
want
to
do
inside
of
next
up
is
to
make
sure
when
they
do
go
outside
is
that
they
do
not
bring
other
individuals
back
into
the
hospital
so
by
being
able
to
meet
those
individuals
in
that
hospital
bed
and
then
meet
their
friends
and
then
meet
their
families.
We're
kind
of
able
to
spread
the
positive
cancer
and
it's
been
working,
I
mean
I,
see
a
lot.
G
People
actually
are
sleeping
deal
with
so
much
of
this
violence,
because
I
see
these
individuals
when
they're
bleeding
when
they
have
tubes
in
them
when
they
have
holes
in
and
when
their
chests
are
cracked
open.
So
it's
it's
not
easy.
It's
not
easy
work
and
it's
on
dedication.
G
Pretty
much
I've
been
able
to
kind
of
stomach
this,
because
this
is
part
of
my
life
and
unfortunately,
for
a
lot
of
these
young
men
and
the
young
women
will
come
in
to
the
hospital
with
these
gunshot
wounds.
This
is
a
part
of
their
life.
I've
been
kind
of
desensitized
to
it,
and
so
I've
been
dealing
with
it
for
over
thirty
years.
D
G
But
if
that
person
is
carrying
the
next
step
back,
it's
a
initiation
for
conversation
and
it
builds
these
relationships
within
our
communities
and
what
we're
kind
of
able
to
break
down
the
barriers
of
these
cliques
and
break
down
the
barriers
of
these
gangs
and
actually
get
these
individuals
to
understand
that
they
are
valuable
and
that
these
young,
ladies,
are
valuable
and
that
their
lives
are
valuable.
And
it's
it's
impressive
to
see
the
turnaround
so
I'm
just
looking
forward
to
continuing
the
work.
G
A
F
G
Have
enough
staff
if
things
go
well,
we
will
be
upping
our
staff,
hopefully
by
June
and
being
able
to
kind
of
handle
some
of
this
caseloads,
because
there's
175
people
and
there's
only
two
there's
only
two
case
managers
and
somehow
someway
we've
been
able
to
kind
of
keep
up
with
a
lot
of
the
shootings
and
stabbings
and
I.
Don't
know
how
we
do
it.
I'm
losing
my
hair
I'm,
not
sleeping
I
need
help
and
it's
work.
That
needs
to
be
done.
F
G
Much
when
they,
when
they
start
getting
their
lives
back
on
track,
they
fall
back
into
their
lives
and
and
then
the
contact
reduces
like
we
just
had
a
young
man
who
was
shot
outside
a
bar
ended
up
in
a
wheelchair
and
winter
came,
and
he
needed
some
assistance
and
moving.
G
We
weren't
able
to
provide
them
that
much
assistance
I
mean
we
helped
him
get
through
it,
but
this
man
was
determined
to
move
to
Arizona
and
he
made
that
happen,
and
now
that
he's
in
Arizona
I
talked
to
him,
maybe
once
a
week
but
he's
in
a
different
environment.
He's
got
warm
weather
he's
in
a
wheelchair,
so
he's
able
to
go,
get
outside
and
enjoy
his
life
more
and
that's
just
one
of
them.
There's
multiple
individuals
that
we
have
relocated
from
the
Twin
Cities
area
and
to
safer
environments
where
you
can
thrive
and.
F
G
F
G
Is
actually
data
that
comes
out
of
HCMC,
so
we
do
the
numbers
we
keep
up
with
the
names.
There
are
patient
identification
numbers
for
every
time
a
patient
is
admitted
into
the
hospital
and
we
cross-reference
the
names
of
new
patients
with
the
names
of
the
patients
who
are
already
in
our
database,
but.
F
E
I'm
councilmember
gordon
so
forties
right
to
get
this
number.
They
basically
took
all
the
participants
in
next
step
and
by
hand
ran
them
through
their
epic
database
to
see
if
they'd
come
through.
So
there
is
no
readily
available
number
at
HCMC
looking
back
retrospectively.
I
think
that
probably
could
be
done
with
some
sort
of
root
for
his
data
effort.
E
I
think
at
the
same
time,
moving
forward
as
we
look
to
expand
the
program
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
make
our
data
collection
data
capture
more
robust,
both
in
terms
of
what
our
staff
are
collecting,
but
also
in
terms
of
connecting
information
from
north
memorial.
If
we
expand
to
north
memorial
so
that'll
allow
us
to
really
get
a
sense
of
a
fuller
sense
of
hospital
recidivism,
not
just
coming
back
to
HCMC.
You.
E
Share
cunningham
council
member
guard
I
say
if?
Because
there
are
documents
yet
to
be
signed,
a
council
last
year
was
was
able
to
get
some
money
for
2018
for
expansions
in
North
Memorial.
That
money
has
been
very
helpful
in
that
planning
process
or
also
in
the
process
of
excuse
me
trying
to
get
additional
funds
from
the
state
who
currently
funds
the
program.
We're
hoping
to
hear
about
that
very
soon.
We've
had
a
steering
committee
put
together
of
North
staff
since
April
of
2017
that's
been
meeting
monthly.
E
D
Yeah
missus
are
here,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
thank
you
sure,
kind
of
hand,
but
it's
yeah.
It's
deeply
traumatic
to
be
in
your
role
doing
that
work,
and
I
hope
you
can
find
some
some
space
to
take
care
of
yourself
in
this
process.
I
was
listening
to
a
fascinating
but
deeply
disturbing
conversation
on
NPR
yesterday
about
a
very
similar
project
in
chicago,
and
some
of
my
questions
were
already
asked
by
a
compliment
recording,
but
you
know
there's
a
huge
economic
impact
that.
D
Takes
place
for
our
cities
for
our
healthcare
system
as
well,
and
you
know,
fortunately,
these
young
people
don't
die,
but
unfortunately
they
have
some
significant
health
challenges.
Access
to,
as
you
mentioned
just
going
outside
of
the
house,
and
particularly
in
minnesota,
where
we
live.
But
you
know
what
kinds
of
strategies
have
people
been
thinking
about
in
terms
of
beyond
that
initial
period
of
time
when,
when
you
are
in
contact
with
these
these
folks
and
then
the
rest
of
their
lives,
essentially
so.
E
G
Them
all
of
the
social
things
that
they
need
their
state
IDs
their
licenses,
things
of
that
nature
so
that
they
become
more
self-sufficient.
So
they
go
to
therapy.
They
go
to
physical
therapy.
They
go
to
mental
health
therapy
and
we
assist
them
through
this
process
for
the
first,
maybe
in
a
year,
and
then
after
the
like,
with
the
individuals
that
I've
still
worked
with
from
2016
they've
made
it
through
therapy.
F
G
B
G
Yes,
we
are
getting
connected
with
jeebies
job
training
emerge
has
been
a
great
help
for
us.
Some
of
the
Academy
has
been
a
great
help
first
and
allowing
these
young
people
to
come
in
and
use
the
space
to
acquire
the
skills
that
they
need
to
move
forward
in
their
lives
and
then
some
of
the
individuals
that
we
meet
they're,
not
they
they
had.
G
You
know
regular
life
styles,
where
they
were
working
and
they
were
innocent
victims,
and
sometimes
all
they
need
is
the
the
mental
therapy
and
mental
health
therapy
and
the
physical
therapy
to
kind
of
get
them
back
on
the
track
to
where
they
were
at
and
any
kind
of
pick
up
and
take
off.
Now
the
long-term.
D
G
D
G
We
can
get
them
in
school,
we'll
get
them
in
school,
we'll
get
them
their
IDs,
we'll
get
them
to
the
fact
that
they
need.
But
then
that's
a
health
part,
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
determined
and
that
that
that
information
in
that
research
is
a
kind
of
being
hindered
right
now
behind
this
Dickey
amendment.
So
we're
we're
not
able
to
kind
of
do
research
surrounding
gun
violence.
G
Maybe
if
we
would
have
diverted
a
dick
and
a
lot
of
CDC
to
kind
of
do
some
of
the
research
we
might
be
able
to
have
a
more
powerful
impact.
H
I
I'm
thrown
Brown
and
I'm
the
coordinator
for
a
GBI
and
so
I
wanted
to
bring
one
of
my
clients
with
me
a
participant
but
I
brought
wet
season.
That's
best
thing
from
North.
Point
he's
my
right
hand
off
to
everything.
I
do
so
he
I
totally
just
chime
in
so
I
skip
around
to
different
things.
So,
if
I
doing
you
haven't
kind
of
caught
up
to
stop
me,
a
lot
of
y'all
know
me
up
here.
So
you
know
I
get
down
so
basically
with
GBI.
I
First
of
all,
you
know
that
it's
a
three
kind
of
had
yeah
all
that
sucker
just
going
through
it.
Okay,
cool
all
right.
So,
first
of
all,
when
I
started,
GV
I
think
was
in
May
of
last
year.
I
They,
the
people,
said
I,
wouldn't
get
three
clients
out
of
the
columns.
You
guys
know
about
the
Collins
and
everything
and
so
I'm
at
now,
almost
seventy
clients
of
the
worst
of
the
worst
over
North
Minneapolis,
South,
Minneapolis
and
I
believe
the
key
is
is
compassion.
That's
one
thing
that
a
lot
of
our
clients,
our
participants,
really
don't
get
cuz.
You
know
when
you
hear
gang.
I
Remember
the
first
thing:
you're
like
I'm
marking
the
other
way:
I,
don't
have
anything
to
do
with
that,
so
we
work
directly
with
them
and
I
think
the
best
thing
about
the
work
that
we
do
with
these
guys,
our
resources,
the
number
one
key-
is
to
help
them
guide
them
to
doing
better
than
what
they
are
doing.
So
the
guys
we
get
our
either
shot
or
our
being
is
gonna,
be
shower.
I
If
you
do
hands-on
with
them,
if
they
need
license
insurance,
if
they
need
to
have
help
getting
their
car
fixed,
so
they
can
get
back
and
forth
to
their
job
if
they
need
to
get
into
some
type
of
long
arm
trade.
So
we
pay
for
forklift
license.
I
have
a
guy
that
actually
we
worked
with
him
from
the
very
beginning.
I
thought
he
wasn't
even
gonna
work
with
us
at
the
end
he
ended
up
getting
his
own
apartment
he's
kept
his
job.
I
The
whole
time
he's
had
a
baby
on
the
way
and
he
stayed-
and
he
called
me
like
he
were
his
third
shift.
Man
from
I
gotta
get
out
of
this.
That's
like
don't
quit,
though
yeah
I
say
you
just
have
to
make
sure
that
you
find
another
job
and
then
move
on
he's
like
yeah
I
know,
I
can't
do
it.
I
got
all
this
stuff
going,
but
it's
hands-on.
It's
us
making
sure
that
we
don't
leave
them
like
okay
they're
in
the
project.
I
Now,
let's
move
on,
we
stick
with
the
guys
that
want
to
do
something.
You
know,
and
that's
one
thing:
we're
not
gonna
hold
your
hand
and
we're
not
gonna.
You
know
like
oh
come
on,
you
know
no,
this
is
for
you
and
when
you
decide
to
change
your
life,
this
is
when
the
project
really
works,
and
we
make
it
happen,
then
so
I'd
say
it
out
of
the
70.
You
can
do
more
than
the
taste
of
other
guys
that
we
kind
of
worked
with.
So
what's
good
tell
you
who
he
is
afternoon.
J
Girls
all
names
Westbury
as
out
of
the
70,
guys
that
we
do
work
with
all
I.
Wasn't
we
probably
have
a
good
60%
of
them
that
have
made
the
switch
that
are
doing
something
different
with
their
life
now
that
are
not
actually
working,
some
are
actually
in
school
now
and
not
just
for
GED,
but
also
for
college.
We
have
guys
who
have
now
stepped
up
and
actually
are
partaking
in
their
children's
lives,
mending
broken
relationships
not
only
within
their
eligible,
but
their
extended
family
as
well.
J
One
of
our
guys,
just
recently
moved
into
his
own
house
daka's,
give
his
child
is
working
and
now
is
looking
to
go
to
college
for
I.
Believe
it's
a
bachelor
in
business,
and
it
also
wants
to
give
me
some
of
the
work
that
we
do
as
well,
which
is
the
human
service
side.
So
what
that
means
that
it's
as.
J
Parties
before
it
is
tough
work,
but
the
reward
is
to
see
these
guys.
Do
that
turn
you
know
and
when
they
come
into
office
they're
no
longer
you
no
longer
have
that
face
of
despair.
They're.
You
know
they're
not
down
anymore,
that
little
oh
and
they're
happy
one
of
our
recently
one
of
our
guys
actually
to
start
the
top
the
cutting
of
the
ties
from
his
his
oh,
it's
Clint.
He.
J
So
it
was,
and
the
young
dude
looks
real
good
with
his
haircut.
You
know
I
mean
Mladic
it
you
know
when
he
came
in,
nobody
knew
who
he
was.
You
know
we
all
kind
of
just
walked
past
and
not
realizing
who
he
was
until
he
smiled.
So
you
know
this
is
small
stuff,
like
that
the
kind
of
rewards,
the
work
that
we
doing
being
able
to
see
him
in
a
place
of
happiness.
You
know
and
right.
K
Now
he's
he's.
J
Actually,
taking
it
upon
himself
even
mentor,
some
of
his
his
peers
around
him
and
to
get
them
going
in
the
right
direction
and
I
was
even
referred.
Quite
a
few
of
them
to
us.
A
Wow
good
work,
y'all
I
mean
it's
amazing
to
have
have
the
folks
actually
on
the
ground
doing
the
work
here.
This
is
I.
This
is
the
whole
reason
why,
having
this
space
to
talk
about
it,
so
that
folks
understand
that
the
council,
in
particular,
can
understand
what
the
investments
are
that
are
in
the
budget
every
year.
What
that
looks
like
in
terms
of
humans,
who
are
impacted,
the
amount,
how
that
changes,
people's
lives,
how
we
got
good
folks
doing
this
work.
A
So
thank
you
all
so
so
much
for
everything
that
you
do
like
you,
I
mean
this
is
this
is
a
demographic
that
folks
have
thrown
away.
This
is
a
demographic
that
folks,
in
general,
our
mainstream
society
has
said,
is
no
longer
worth
the
work
and
you
are
helping
the
city
of
Minneapolis
actually
follow
through
with
saying
that
your
life
has
Worth
and
we're
going
to
do
what
we
can
to
make
sure
that
you
see
that
and
that's
reflected
back
at
you.
H
So
it's
been
sort
of
a
model
for
me
to
follow
and
to
know
that
can
happen
and
as
a
mother
of
three
young
boys
you
know
and
and
looking
at
how
our
Latino
community
has
been
impacted
by
similar
issues.
I
often
wish
that
there
was
more
folks
like
you
doing
that
work.
You
know
across
other
in
other
communities
as
well.
H
In
that
you
know,
sometimes
the
City
Council
will
invest
$10,000
here,
$20,000
here
$30,000
there
and
that's
really,
you
know
kind
of
a
drop
in
the
bucket
when
it
comes
to
the
community
work
that
is
both
put
in
because
our
community
members
are
putting
in
so
much
more
than
that
and
then
also
in
the
nonprofit
world.
You
know
that
that
kind
of
dollar
amount
really
is
barely
able
to
sustain.
H
You
know
one
one:
full-time
staff
year-round,
so
I
wonder
you
know
as
I'm
sitting
up
here
what
kind
of
interface
our
collaboration
we
can
have
between
this
program
and
the
collaborative
safety
program
that
was
funded
last
year
by
the
mayor's
office,
because
that
program
is
also
very
new
and
and
I
don't
want
us
to
get
into
the
habit
of
reinventing
the
wheel.
Every
time
that
somebody
has
a
good
idea,
or
especially
you
know,
around
the
campaign
year,
things
take
a
different
tone.
So
what
was
exciting
to
me
about
that
potential
program?
H
And
what
we
see
before
us
today
is
the
fact
that
folks,
who
are
you
know
coming
from
that
life,
are
leading
the
change
and
that
were
allowing
for
new
voices
to
come
into
the
field
to
to
develop
those
strategies
with
us
and
that
we're
taking
risks
in
supporting
those
new
strategies,
because
we,
we
believe
in
those
communities
like
councilmember
Cunningham,
mentioned
earlier.
We're
kind
of
flipping
the
script
on
that
disposability
narrative
that
that
is
coming
down
to
us,
tsardom
on
the
daily
now
from
the
federal
administration.
So
so
with
that.
H
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
this
is
making
me
think
a
lot
about.
How
can
we
make
sure
that
our
programs
across
the
city
are
more
in
alignment
with
each
other
and
and
leveraging
that
learning
curve,
leveraging
that
information
that
we
know
is
already
proven
to
be
successful
and
effective,
and
that
we
can
then
replicate
and
support
in
other
communities
to
advance
a
similar
agenda
in
communities
that
are
sometimes
facing
very
similar
challenges?
So
I
just
wanted
to.
H
Thank
you
both
for
all
your
hard
work,
and
you
have
my
number
and
I
hope
that
we
can
stay
in
touch
throughout
the
year
to
see
how
we
can
better
support.
What's
happening
and
and
I
do
know
a
lot
about
the
emotional
work
that
goes
into
this
and
the
the
mental
health
support
that
we
us
as
community
members,
need
to
have
to
be
able
to
do
this
work
everyday
and
to
not
lose
hope
and
to
continue
to
be
a
positive
influence.
H
Despite
of
the
fact
that,
even
in
our
own
lives,
we
might
be
facing
really
heavy
challenges,
really
heavy
things
to
carry.
So.
Please
know
that
this
is
work
that
will
get
done
with
community
and
we
are
community
to
you
know:
councilmember
Philippe,
Cunningham,
myself,
councilmember
Jeremiah
Ellison.
We
we
should
be.
H
We
should
be
leaned
on
more
as
community,
not
just
elected
officials.
So
please
reach
out
to
us
and
know
that
we're
only
you
know,
Facebook
message
away
or
a
text
message
away
just
to
troubleshoot
and
figure
out
how
we
can
really
make
a
difference,
because
many
of
us
want
to
see
that
difference
happen.
A
Thank
You
councilmember
Cano
I
would
like
to
just
second
a
couple
of
points.
I
would
like
to
really
advocate
to
my
colleagues
when
we
talk
about
public
safety,
it's
a
top
issue
in
many
different
places
in
the
Ward,
not
just
North
Minneapolis.
When
the
community
comes
to
us
and
says,
can
you
please
help
help
increase
safety?
These
are
the
kind
of
strategies
that
are
actually
working
to
do
that
a
lot
of
times.
A
When
you
look
at
how
much
money
is
invested,
particularly
in
enforcement
strategies,
so
really
making
sure
that
we
are
investing
equally
across
the
spectrum
of
Public
Health
intervention
for
Public
Safety,
all
right
and
with
that,
are
there
any
other
questions
from
my
colleagues
Oh
councilmember
Jenkins.
Thank.
D
You
to
Cunningham
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
for
for
this
work
and
for
the
work
that
I
know
you've
been
doing
for
many
many
years
and
and
add
my
name
to
the
list
of
names
that
councilmember
Cano
asked
you
to
call
on
and
and
I'm
sure
you
will
cuz
you've
been
doing
that
for
me
many
years
old.
Please
continue
to
do
that
and
involve
me
in
these
issues
and
and
just
to
to
the
points
that
have
been
made
about
the
amount
of
investment
you
know.
D
K
Can
mr.
chair
and
I
won't
belabor
any
of
these
points?
I
agree
with
them.
I
just
wanted
to
personally
say
thank
you
for
all
your
great
work,
it's
greatly
appreciated
by
people
across
the
city
and
such
an
example
that
can
hopefully
be
replicated
across
the
region
and
nationally
as
well
and
so
there's
more
eyes
on
it
than
just
in
Minneapolis
and
again.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All.
C
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
for
the
invitation
to
present.
If
you
have
another
questions,
our
staff
I
believe
the
names
of
our
staff
are
the
end
of
the
PowerPoint,
we're
all
in
the
health
department
and
all
helps
coordinate
the
work
on
the
ground
so
happy
to
help
Lea's
on
any
communication
with
staff
that
we're
here
or
any
other
programs
that
were
mentioned.
So.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time.
All.
F
This
is
just
to
get
back
since
I
had
a
little
more
time
to
contemplate
in
the
staff
direction.
I
do
think
it
is
a
good
idea,
so
I'd
like
to
give
a
staff
direction
asking
or
directing
you
to
work
with
them.
Your
stakeholders,
including
the
council
office
in
the
mayor's
office,
with
a
recommendation
for
what
to
do
about
the
youth
violence,
prevention,
executive
committee
and
report
back
to
us
at
a
future
date.
C
Think
a
minimum
of
two
months
four
months
would
be
ideal
just
to
help
us
sort
of
get
some
time
to
formulate
some
things,
and
we
definitely
want
to.
You
know
obviously
work
with
this
body
and
other
local
leaders,
but
continue
to
use
the
TA
that's
being
provided
to
us
at
no
cost
through
our
partnership
with
the
o.j.
So
it'd
be
great
to
take
this
directive
back
to
our
department
as
well,
so
them
build
some
things
out
that
we
can
bring
back
to
you
all
well.
F
Four
months
is
fine
I
appreciate,
if
it's
ideal,
so
that
so
I'll
move
that
staff
correction,
maybe
as
part
of
the
action
it
was,
that
clear
enough.
