Description
Minneapolis Public Safety & Emergency Management Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
Okay
good
morning,
everyone
today
is
Wednesday
January
22nd
2020,
and
we
are
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee.
Today
we
currently
are
joined
by
council
members,
Jeremiah
Ellison
and
councilmember
Steve
Fletcher.
We
are
hoping
to
be
joined
by
one
other
council
members
that
we
can
have
quorum,
but
in
the
meantime,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
begin
some
of
our
items
here
on
the
agenda
and
then
we'll
officially
adopt
and
approve
once
we
reach
quorum.
A
So
our
agenda
today
has
seven
items
and
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
greet
through
those
item
number
one
is
our
public
comment
period,
which
is
typically
a
simple
receiving
file?
Then
we
have
a
couple
of
items
under
consent.
Item
number
two
under
consent
is
a
contract
amendment
with
coroner
house,
an
interagency
child
abuse
evaluation
center
for
forensic
interview
services.
Item
number
three
is
authorizing
a
contract
with
Dakota
County
Technical
College
for
emergency
non
emergency
vehicle
training
for
police
officers.
A
I
remember
for
is
authorizing
an
extension
to
a
contract
amendment
with
Hennepin
County,
with
the
Hennepin
County
Sheriff's
Office
for
some
pretrial
detention
fees.
I.
Remember
five:
we're
actually
going
to
pull
for
a
motion
later
once
we
have
quorum
and
that
is
a
mutual
non-disclosure
agreement
with
the
University
of
Pennsylvania
Law
School,
the
Hennepin
County
Attorney's
Office
and
the
Hennepin
emergency
medical
services
for
participating
in
a
Minneapolis,
Sentinel
Sentinel
event,
review
program.
A
Item
number:
six
is
release
of
authorizing
a
release
of
liability,
Hort
hold
harmless
and
defense
and
indemnification
agreement
with
Hennepin
County
for
maintenance
responsibilities
of
the
work
force
director
system
and
then
our
seventh
item
is
a
Russian
or
and
a
presentation
with
on
the
MPD
staffing
and
a
fist
efficiency
study
request
for
proposals
that
might
be
coming
up
here
soon.
So
those
are
the
items
on
our
agenda,
so
we
shall
start
with
public
comment.
A
B
And
Cher
committee
members,
my
name
is
Chuck
Torchic
I
live
in
south
Minneapolis.
This
is
a
follow
up,
or
maybe
it's
an
on
follow-up.
Two-And-A-Half
years
ago,
that's
30
months
ago,
Justine
Damon
Roose
Jack
was
killed.
Then
on
June
7th
2019.
That's
about
seven
months
ago,
at
the
sentencing
of
Muhammad
Neuer
for
the
killing,
judge,
Katherine,
quaint
and
slated
the
questions
to
the
jurors
had.
B
Regarding
that
entire
situation,
I
sent
you
those
questions
and
after
repeating
what
she
had
heard
from
the
jurors
she
said
and
I
quote,
a
large
amount
of
taxpayer
dollars
will
go
to
Australia,
but
Minneapolis
of
residents
await
the
promised
transformation
and
the
questions
of
the
jurors
remain
unanswered.
What
has
changed?
What
will
change
so
this
has
not
happened
again.
How
does
the
department
address
officer
safety
without
jeopardizing
Public
Safety,
the
jurors
and
the
people
of
Minneapolis
need
and
deserve
answers?
Unquote.
B
That
was
229
days
ago
and
I
checked
with
someone
others
been
working
with
the
community
group
that
arose
in
Moose,
miss
truce,
checks
neighborhood
after
the
shooting
and
I
asked
if
they
had
received
any
answers.
The
reply
was,
and
I
quote,
to
my
knowledge.
There
has
been
no
comprehensive
report
from
the
city
or
county
attorney's
office
on
the
policy
failures
from
this
incident.
B
We
frequently
reiterate
to
the
City,
Council
and
Police
Department
our
desire
for
such
report
to
be
generated
as
we
believe
this
is
the
only
way
to
achieve
the
transformational
change,
judge,
quaint
ins
and
Justine's
family
spoke
of
unquote,
so
that
group
hasn't
heard
any
answers.
I
haven't
heard
any
answers.
Have
you.
A
C
Morning,
Dave
picking
south
Minneapolis,
oh
so
I
sent
you
a
well
on
behalf
of
communities.
United
against
police
brutality
sent
you
a
letter
yesterday
and
we
passed
that
out
today,
so
I
won't
repeat
most
of
what's
in
there
we're
interested
very
interested
in
the
staffing
and
efficiency
study.
We've
been
talking
about
this
ourselves
during
the
budget
process.
C
A
big
concern
is
to
make
sure
that
the
scope
of
the
study
is
broad
enough
to
talk
about
many
different
areas
where
there
could
be
greater
efficiency
in
the
police
budget.
I
think
you
know,
the
talk
has
been
about
more
officers
in
reality,
I
think
it's
very
possible.
The
same
work
could
be
done
with
fewer
or
the
work
could
be
directed
towards
those
areas
where
it
ought
to
be
directed
instead
of
mental
health
crises
or
rousting
the
homeless.
C
The
CEO
APB
is
very
interested
in
participating
with
this
study.
I
hope
it
will
be
set
up
in
such
a
way
that
public
members,
members
of
the
public
can
participate,
and
we
also
want
to
see
the
budget
made
more
transparent.
At
this
point.
As
I
had
said
during
the
budget
process,
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
budget
online
and
anywhere
I
can
find
any
information
is
broken
down
at
about
five
categories
and
that's
it.
We
have
no
idea
of
transfers
of
funds
from
you
know,
for
instance,
of
self
insurance.
So
we
want
to
follow
up
with
that.
C
Also
I'm,
very
glad
to
hear
that
item
number
five
is
being
removed
for
this
question.
The
non-disclosure
agreement
doesn't
seem,
like
the
first
place,
to
start
on
a
contract
that
we
haven't
heard
anything
about
in
public
I've
searched
for
any
information
on
this
can't
find
it.
We
don't
know
what
kind
of
Sentinel
events
are
being
talked
about.
I
hope
we'll
find
out
much
more
information
on
that.
Thank
you.
A
It
sounds
like
we
have
completed
this
portion
of
the
agenda,
and
so
we
will
now
move
into
the
discussion
item,
which
is
a
presentation
or
in
a
status
update
from
our
staff
on
the
MPD,
staffing
and
efficiency
study,
and
if
I
can
please
have
our
city
coordinator.
Mark
ruff,
please
lead
the
way.
I
will
note
before
mark
begins
that
our
offices
did
receive
the
communities
United
against
police
brutality
letter
with
the
several
points
that
this
group
would
like
us
to
take
into
consideration.
A
As
we
put
together
this
RFP
and
I
know
that
my
office
and
my
staff
are
working
on
it,
and
so
the
point
of
contact
will
be
Dylan
and
he's
been
directed
to
reach
out
to
the
group
to
follow
up
and
I,
see
that
some
of
the
points
that
are
being
brought
up
in
this
letter
are
already
things
we
will
be
incorporating
into
our
study.
So
we
look
forward
to
refining
those
and
bringing
more
togetherness
between
those
two
items.
So
without
further
ado.
Mr.
D
Chair
Cano
and
members
of
the
committee
mark
ruff
interim
city
coordinator
on
behalf
of
other
staff
here
today,
including
Rene
Young's
who's
within
the
city
coroner's
office,
who
are
be
our
primary
researcher
from
city
coordinators,
office,
deputy
chief,
wait
and
Robin
McPherson
from
Minneapolis
Police
Department
want
to
present
an
overall
scope
and
goal
for
set
of
goals
for
the
staffing
and
efficiency
study.
Just
a
reminder
for
those
not
familiar
with
how
this
study
originated.
It
was
requested
by
the
City
Council
during
the
budget
process
through
a
staff
direction.
D
This
is
in
some
ways
a
follow-up
to
work
that
had
already
been
undertaken
in
2019
through
the
911
MPD
workgroup.
Also,
a
deputy
chief
wait
very
involved
in
that
groups.
Recommendation
which
talked
about
call
prioritization
through
911,
as
well
as
options
for
reducing
sworn
officers.
Workload
by
having
other
parts
of
the
of
the
enterprise
undertake
some
of
the
work.
That's
foreign
officers
undertake
that
work
will
continue.
This
is
a
separate
and
distinct
effort
pursuant
to
the
staff
direction.
It
is
also
a
study.
I
was
talking
with
chief
Arredondo
yesterday,
at
least
to
his
knowledge.
D
A
study
like
this
has
not
been
done
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
at
least
in
the
last
several
decades.
So
this
is
a
new
experience
for
us,
but
certainly
not
something.
That's
new
for
other
police
departments
around
the
country.
There
are
very
good
models
that
the
staff
has
reviewed
already
and
will
continue
to
review
for
major
metropolitan
areas
on
how
they
undertake
staffing
studies.
I
will
say
going
into
this
study.
D
It
is
not
going
to
be
a
formulaic
approach,
meaning
that
we
don't
expect
the
results
to
be
an
exact
number
of
different
parts
of
MPD
and
how
they
should
be
staffed.
That
being
said,
there
will
be
metrics
associated
with
the
study
and
we
have
in
front
of
you
six
goals
which
will
incorporate
some
of
those
metrics
first
inform
at
most
I
want
to
say
that
this
study
is
the
entire
part
of
Minneapolis.
D
Police
Department
will
be
reviewed,
not
just,
for
example,
patrol
and
investigations,
which
are
obviously
a
significant
part
of
the
employment
within
MPD,
but
we
will
be
looking
across
all
divisions
of
MPD
we're
going
to
try
to
work
through
that
effort
in
relationship
to
workload,
base,
analysis
and
workload
can
be
a
number
of
factors.
Many
of
you
have
pointed
that
out
in
previous
discussions.
It
can
be
911
calls.
It
can
be
crime
statistics,
it
can
be
population,
it
can
be
types
of
establishments
that
we
have
that
are
heavier
demand
for
Public
Safety
it.
D
It
can
be
number
of
visitors
and
types
of
events
that
we
have
in
terms
of
entertainment
in
Minneapolis
as
well,
and
so
we
will
be
narrowing
that
focus
through
the
study
goals.
But
again
it's
going
to
be
a
workload
based
analysis,
so
it's
not
just
about
today.
It's
also
what
factors
do
we
go
looking
at
in
the
future,
so
we
don't
have
to
do
one
of
these
analysis
every
two
or
three
years,
but
for
lean
into
a
factual
based
analysis
of
staffing.
D
We
will
certainly
spend
time
talking
about
patrol,
in
particular,
shifts
in
scheduling
as
I
know.
That
is
a
an
area
discussion
for
both
staff
and
for
elected
officials.
The
third
area
is
to
look
at
the
business
processes
within
MPD
and
whether
other-
and
this
is
the
efficiency
side
of
it
as
to
whether
other
parts
of
the
enterprise
can
equally
serve
as
well.
The
MPD
needs
at
a
lower
cost
or
with
greater
public
outreach.
The
use
of
overtime
certainly
will
be
a
factor,
and
that
is
in
any
Public
Safety.
D
The
use
of
sworn
versus
civilian
personnel
for
different
positions
has
been
a
discussion
topic
and
past
budgets
here
in
Minneapolis
and
will
also
be
one
moving
forward
and
then
the
last
specific
topic
is
one
person
versus
two
person
patrol
cars.
So
those
are
the
six
general
areas
on
how
these
goals
then
move
forward.
Is
there
the
study
will
be
undertaken
by
an
outside
consultant.
D
The
many
of
you
are
aware.
The
city
of
st.
Paul
recently
released
their
own
staffing
study
that
was
done
internally
by
an
expert
within
the
st.
Paul
PD.
We
do
anticipate
using
a
national
expert
for
this
who
has
done
these
types
of
studies
previously
Renee
and
the
police
department
and,
together
with
a
variety
of
folks
within
the
enterprise,
we'll
be
using
the
goals
than
to
write
a
scope
of
work
for
the
request
for
proposals,
the
RFP
which
will
be
issued.
D
We
anticipate
in
February
of
this
year
reviewing
responses,
selecting
a
vendor
and
then
moving
forward
with
the
work
through
2020
and
we
anticipate
reporting
out
of
the
results
later
this
year.
So
with
that
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Welcome
feedback
we're
not
asking
for
any
particular
action
today
of
this
committee.
More
of
just
are
we
headed
in
the
right
direction
or
their
scopes
of
work
that
we
are
missing.
Are
there
some
that
you
would
like
to
de-emphasize
and
maybe
emphasize
others?
That's
the
feedback
that
would
very
much
help
us
as
we
move
forward
Thank.
A
E
You
chair
and
thank
you
for
this
I
think
it's
a
very
important
study
and
I'm
glad
to
see
I'm
moving
forward.
I
think
there
are
a
couple
of
policy
questions
that
have
been
raised
by
other
work
happening
in
parallel
to
this.
That
I
just
want
to
make
sure
are
addressed
because
I
think,
as
we
consider
those
questions
over
the
course
of
the
year.
E
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
those,
so
the
the
two
things
I'm
thinking
of
specifically
are
the
9-1-1
workgroup
study
which
is
referenced
in
this,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
thinking
about
who's,
doing
mental
health
response
and
are
there
things
that
might
get
reassigned
that
we
have
a
picture
of
what
impact
that
has
on
staffing
levels
and
on
demand
so
that
we
can
consider
that
I
think
the
other
body
of
work
that's
happening
in
parallel?
Is
the
audit
committees
look
at
off-duty,
which
is
not
referenced
in
overtime?
I?
E
Think
it's
actually
an
important
thing
for
us
to
understand,
particularly
if
there
were
changes
to
off-duty
policy
that
that
reduced
the
availability
of
off-duty
officers.
What
impact
would
that
have
on
staffing
needs
because
I
actually
think
it
that
might
lead
to
an
increased
need
downtown?
For
example,
if
we
cleared
out
all
the
off-duty
officers
at
bar
time
and
so
I
think
understanding
the
policy
implications,
both
that
might
lead
to
increased
demand
and
that
might
lead
to
decrease
demand
are
going
to
be
very
important
for
us
as
we're
considering
policy
moving
forward.
E
But
that
being
said,
I'm
really
appreciative
of
the
spirit
in
which
everybody
is
embracing.
The
study
I
think
it's
important
data
for
all
of
us
to
have
and
I
think
there's
a
real
opportunity
for
us
to
make
smarter
investments
moving
forward.
So
thank
you
for
this
and
I
hope.
We
can
incorporate
those
policy
areas
that
are
already
supported
and
other
work
happening
in
other
committees,
as
we
move
forward.
F
I'll
just
jump
in
to
say
that
I
think
that
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
that
I
think
this
is
headed
in
the
right
direction.
So
I
just
wanted
to
let
that
be
known,
and
thank
you
all
for
the
work
and
and
and
again
this
is
I
think
this
is
for
this
is
for
us
to
consider
how
we
can
make
the
best
investments
and
and
and
especially
how
we
deliver
those
things
to
the
public.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
using
tax
dollars
to
the
best
of
our
ability?
F
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
getting
data
out
in
a
way
that
is
on-time
in
a
way
that
is
responsive
and
accountable
to
the
city?
Our
constituents
of
the
community
I
think
those
are
things
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
highlighting
and
consider.
So.
Thank
you
all
for
jumping
into
this,
and
thank
you
for
this
update.
G
D
Chicano
comes
vice-president
Jenkins.
We
do
have
a
list
based
on
those
other
studies
from
major
metropolitan
areas
of
who
is
in
the
market
and
has
experience
for
this
type
of
work.
We
certainly
always
love
to
have
local
firms
working
either
as
a
primary
or
as
a
sub
consultant
for
any
of
our
requests
for
proposals
for
services
and
we'll
we'll
do
our
best
to
to
get
the
word
out
so
that
those
those
firms
and
groups
can
participate.
D
But
you
know
I
think,
as
with
any
request
for
proposal
process,
we're
always
pleasantly
surprised
with
the
results
and
I
anticipate
that
this
will
be
the
case
as
well
as
though
this
will
certainly
be
and
because
I
think.
As
this
has
been
mentioned,
the
mayor's
office
Minneapolis
Police,
Department
Council,
is
all
looking
at
this
study
as
something
that
is
a
serious
guide
for
the
future
actions
and
not
just
something
that
we
have
to
do
to
move
on
to
a
next
step.
D
D
E
You
sorry
I
thought
of
one
more
question:
I'll
just
note
on
the
time
line
that
there
is
an
importance
to
the
difference
between
summer
and
fall
and
then
how
we
define
fall
in
terms
of
the
impact
that
this
has
on
our
ability
to
budget.
According
to
the
data
that
we
get,
and
so
with
the
911
workgroup
last
year,
I
regretted
not
being
a
little
more
aggressive
about
putting
a
deadline
on
that,
so
that
we
could
get
that
information
and
time
to
act
on
it
because
we
really
didn't
last
year.
E
E
We
would
get
this
in
time
for
it
to
inform
the
mayor's
budget
proposal
and,
at
the
very
least
we
would
get
it
an
early
fall
so
that
we
have
time
to
consider
the
council's
work
in
relationship
to
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
in
time
to
get
public
feedback
on
it
and
to
really
work
with
stakeholders
to
make
changes
that
reflect.
What
we
learned
here
so
I
would
encourage
a
deadline.
That's
on
the
early
side
of
fall
or
or
into
summer.
If
it's
possible.
D
C
D
G
D
A
D
That's
American,
oh
it's
a
good
question.
I
would
say
our
impressions
are.
It
is
not
something
that
is
done
regularly
for
the
same
department
every
few
years
that
these
are.
These
studies
are
done
pursuant
to
either
an
elected
official
request
or
a
major
event
in
a
community
or
frankly,
if
there
are
either.
D
Changes
in
budgetary
action
and
that
could
be
an
expansion
of
budget
or
it
could
be
a
reduction
in
budget.
You
know
certainly
any
large
department
in
the
city,
whether
it's
Public,
Works
or
running
the
Convention
Center.
We
hire
people
to
manage
those
and
we
their
expertise
and
their
team's
expertise
to
staff
appropriately.
So
but
I
think
the
discussion
we
had
early
on
and
certainly
had
some
discussions
with
councilmember
Fletcher
about
this,
that
there
that
some
of
the
value
of
this
study
will
be
to
highlight
those
metrics
that
are
out
there.
D
That
I
think
everyone
will
feel
like
somehow.
This
should
be
a
formula.
The
number
of
sworn
officers
should
be
expert,
whatever
thousand
that
we're
looking
at
I
think
the
goal
here
is
to
provide
more
depth
to
some
of
that
analysis.
To
know,
as
just
as
you
all
as
counsel
and
as
certainly
as
police
leadership,
as
highlighted
is
how
policing
is
done
today
is
very
different
than
even
it
was
done
five
years
ago,
and
so
I
think
this
will
be
the
study.
D
What
I'm
getting
to
is
what
I
said
earlier
is
gonna,
be
less
formulaic
in
the
sense
of
driving,
and
usually
you
will
see
some
studies
around
the
country
that
are
very
formula
driven,
a
big
spreadsheet
that
just
takes
a
variety
of
of
socioeconomic
factors
and
plug
them
in
and
says.
Here's
your
perfect
staffing
for
all
the
different
parts
of
your
Police
Department.
We
we
do
see
this
as
a
learning
opportunity
for
the
enterprise
learning
from
other
places
that
have
undergone
similar
studies.
D
Learning
in
just
the
discussion
internally
among
all
of
us
as
to
what's
gonna
happen
over
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
so
I
see
it
more
like
a
strategic
plan
in
the
same
way
that
we
have
a
transportation
action
plan
in
the
same
way
that
we
have
a
comprehensive
plan
that
we
we
do
this
periodically.
That
will
then
set
some
of
the
goals
over
the
next
five
to
10
years.
A
Thank
you,
okay
looks
like
we
are
out
of
questions
for
this
item
and
now
that
we
are
a
quorum,
we're
going
to
go
back
to
the
beginning
of
the
agenda
and
just
go
ahead
and
adopt
the
agenda.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
the
agenda,
please
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
in
favor
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
the
receive
and
file
of
the
public
comment,
as
we
already
had
two
folks
public
comment
with
us
this
morning.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
receiving
and
filing
public
comment.
A
This
morning
please
say:
aye
aye
and
now
we
have
the
consent
item
and
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
forward
items
2,
3,
4,
&
6,
and
we
will
go
ahead
and
pull
item
number
5
out
for
discussion.
All
those
in
favor
of
adopting
the
consent
agenda.
Please
say:
aye,
aye
and
I
will
now
give
the
floor
to
my
colleague
come
summer.
Fletcher
on
item
number
5.
E
E
Procedurally,
you
know
when
we'd
go
to
closed
session.
As
a
council,
we
have
to
articulate
why
we're
going
to
closed
session.
What's
the
information
we're
talking
about
that,
it's
appropriate
to
not
have
out
in
the
public
square
and
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
that
we're
being
transparent
and
that
we
get
in
the
practice
when
we're
agreeing
to
not
disclose
something
that
we
articulate
a
reason.
E
Why
and
I
actually
think
there
probably
are
articulable
reasons
why
in
this
case,
it
makes
sense,
I
think
if
you're
doing
after-action
reviews
of
how
we
gathered
evidence,
some
people's
public
identifiable
information,
the
person
being
charged,
that's
public,
but
some
of
the
witnesses
or
informants
might
not
be
public,
and
there
might
be
reasons
that
we
need
to
shield
that
data.
But
we
should
articulate
that.
That's
that
we
have
a
rationale,
and
so
I
want
us
to
get
in
the
practice
of
that
and
I've
spoken
on
the
staff
in
advance
with
this.
E
Is
you
know
one
of
the
important
questions
that
a
lot
of
us
have
been
wrestling
with
is
how
do
we
balance
data
privacy
and
transparency
and
I'll?
Just
take
this
opportunity
as
well,
to
foreshadow
that
next
week
is
national
data
privacy
day
and
I'm
expecting
to
be
rolling
out
new
data
privacy
principles
that
we've
got
a
new
draft
of?
So
my
colleagues
and
the
public
can
look
forward
to
that
next
week
as
well.
E
So
we
do
take
privacy
seriously
and
we
want
to
make
that
one
of
the
principles
that
we
operate
on
and
also
take
public
transparency
very
seriously
and
what
a
balance
those
things
so
happy
to
work
with
staff.
If
they
want
to
get
some
feedback
on
making
sure
that
we're
articulating
some
clear
principles
about
why
we
would
sign
an
NDA
and,
in
general,
want
to
discourage
us
from
signing
NDA's.
Unless
there
really
is
a
good
reason,
because
we
do
want
to
keep
as
much
information
out
in
the
public
and
available
to
everyone
as
possible.
A
Already
so
we
have
a
motion
before
us
made
by
consumer
Fletcher
to
go
ahead
and
delay.
This
item
item
number
five
for
a
cycle
and
all
those
in
favor
of
that
motion,
please
say
aye
aye
and
that
moves
forward
now.
Our
last
item
of
business
here
is
just
to
officially
receive
and
file.
The
report
from
our
city
coordinator
and
staff
on
the
MPD,
staffing
and
efficiency
study
update
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye
and
without
further
business
before
us.
We
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
