that
we
have
a
quorum.
We

11
11
items
on
the
consent

which
I'll
Now
read
for
the

One
is
authorizing

Ramon
Brown
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis
at
all.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
any
of
these
items,
Vice,
chair
ones,
thank.
C
You
chair
Ellison:
why
is
this
always
so
far
away?
Okay,
so
I
want
to
provide
some
context
for
item
number
two
state
and
federal
funding
opportunities
for
climate
change,
mitigation,
green
infrastructure,
water
quality
and
storm
water
management.
This
is
a
legislative
director
for
Council
and
the
public
to
get
a
sense
of
what
state
and
federal,
funding
opportunities
and
grants
the
city
is
planning
to
pursue
to
fund
our
climate
mitigation
work.
C
C
That
plan
contains
no
information
about
how
we're
going
to
fund
the
dozens
of
pilots
and
policies
and
programs
listed
in
that
plan,
and
this
is
something
that
our
constituents
have
been
advocating
for
in
terms
of
getting
a
thorough
fiscal
understanding
of
how
much
it's
going
to
cost,
to
invest
in
this
necessary
work
and
right
now,
at
the
federal
level,
the
IRA.
So
the
inflation
reduction
act
presents
unprecedented
opportunities
for
cities
like
Minneapolis,
to
obtain
funding
for
Grant
infrastructure
and
green
jobs.
C
Work,
and
this
legislative
directive
will
help
us
understand
which
grants
the
city
is
planning
to
apply
to.
So
we
can
get
a
sense
of
how
many
dollars
we
will
have
access
to
to
substantially
fund
the
amazing
action
steps
and
strategies
listed
in
our
climate
Equity
plan,
so
I
just
want
to
provide
some
clarity
on
item
number
two
also
for
item
number
11.
C
The
legal
settlement
with
Ramon
Brown
versus
the
City
of
Minneapolis
also
want
the
public
to
be
aware
that
this
is
a
settlement
for
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
for
a
former
Minneapolis
law
enforcement
or
smart
peace
officer
that
was
a
legally
stopping
and
searching
people
and
seizing
drugs.
C
That
they
pocketed
and
then
personally
used,
that
officer
was
employed
by
MPD
until
2020
and
is
currently
serving
a
three-year
federal
prison
sentence.
So
this
is
again
another
extreme
example
of
misconduct
and
illegal
behavior.
That
has,
you
know,
been
allowed
to
Fester
within
our
police
department
and
just
went
to
provide
some
additional
contacts
on
that
because
we
know
these
settlements
are
really
key
top
of
mind
issue
for
our
residents,
so
that
is
all.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
no
further
discussion.
I
will
move
approval
of
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
that
motion
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
Next
we
have
a
presentation
related
to
contract
amendments
with
the
organizations
providing
Services
Under.
The
Minneapolis
strategic
Outreach
initiative
I'll
invite
staff
to
give
a
brief
presentation
on
that
item.
D
Thank
you,
council,
member
and
chair
Ellison.
Thank
you,
co-chair
wansley
councilmember
V,
Todd,
Chavez
ankoski
I'm,
here
today,
councilmember
eleison,
as
we
discussed
in
Pogo
agenda
study
that
was
discussion
raised
regarding
the
contracts
these
contracts
are
coming
before
you
guys
today
for
approval
to
be
amended
for
these
specific
amounts,
as
discussed
at
Pogo
agenda.
D
Setting
on
these
current
contracts
will
go
through
to
the
end
of
the
year,
and
this
Amendment
will
make
it
so
that
all
of
the
organizations
that
are
contracted
under
the
Minneapolis
strategic
Outreach
will
be
able
to
provide
services
for
eight
hours,
that
current
contracts
provide
services
for
five
hours,
and
this
amendment
will
allow
them
to
be
out
for
eight
hours
and
they
will
go
from
four
to
twelve.
This
is
something
that
Community
has
access
for,
as
well
as
leadership
within
the
city.
Enterprise
has
access,
for.
D
There
has
been
a
number
of
different
things
that
our
community
needs
right
now
when
it
comes
to
community
and
Public
Safety
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
work
better
to
serve
our
community
members
when
it
comes
to
Public
Safety,
with
all
the
different
initiatives
that
we
have.
How
do
we
make
for
sure
that
we
are
being
that
we're
being
a
comprehensive
approach
to
this,
with
all
our
different
initiatives.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
giving
us
a
brief
presentation
on
the
contracts
and
I'll
see.
If
my
colleagues
have
any
additional
questions,
I
see,
we
have
a
few
questions
from
councilmember
Vita.
E
Thank
you,
chair
Ellison,
and
thank
you
just
some
quick
questions.
We
had
previously
approved
contracts
for
these
groups
earlier
this
year,
some
of
them
it
was
my
understanding
that
they
were
new
contracts,
that
some
of
these
groups
were
starting
for
the
first
time,
but
during
that
time,
I
met
with
staff
who
said
that
the
contracts
would
be
over
this
fall
and
there
would
be
an
opportunity
for
new
applicants
for
the
Minneapolis
groups.
Is
that
still.
D
The
case,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Councilman
Vita,
the
this
current
RSP
ends
this
year.
It
ends
January
I
mean
December
31st
of
2023.
There
will
be
another
RFP
that
will
be
issued.
This
fall
for
work
starting
in
2024.,
so.
E
Okay,
and
so
then
these
group-
you
I,
you
said
these
groups
are
extending
their
hours
for
to
I,
guess
a
full
work
day
and
that's
where
this
dollar
amount
comes
from.
Yes.
A
Any
other
discussion-
Russia
wansley,
oh
sorry,
I
didn't
I,
didn't
notice,
councilmember
Chavez.
F
Thank
you,
chair
Olson,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
information
director
and
for
all
the
work
that
you
and
your
team
have
been
doing
for
this
comprehensive
Public
Safety
approach.
I
was
wondering
if
you
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
work
that
will
be
done
on
Lake,
Street
and
then
East,
Franklin
Avenue,
and
why
it's
important
and
I
know
this
is
work
that
our
community
members
have
been
asking
for
a
very
long
time.
So
I'm
very
happy
about
it.
Yes,.
D
Thank
you,
councilman
Chavez
I
have
worked
with
Southside
safety
Coalition
and
a
number
of
different
community
members
within
South
Minneapolis
regarding
a
lot
of
livability
concerns
that
play
into
violence
and
crime,
as
well
as
West
Broadway
livability
as
well.
This
morning
with
inspector
Adams,
we
are
seeing
the
same
things
in
both
in
both
communities.
We
know
that
crime
doesn't
stop
at
a
street,
and
so
we
looked
at
the
data.
D
We've
looked
at
the
data
through
with
MPD
and
also
the
data
that
we
see
regarding
opioid
abuse,
and
so
the
data
does
tell
us
that
these
two
geographical
areas
are
our
highest
hit:
Lake,
Street,
Franklin
and
West
Broadway,
and
now
we
have
some
ability,
concerns
on
Lori
and
so
we're
looking
at.
How
do
we
address
those
concerns
in
the
immediate
and
also
what
is
the
long-term
solution
and
so
right
now?
F
F
I
did
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
appreciate
the
work
that's
been
going
on
to
this,
especially
because
it's
going
to
go
to
some
of
the
most
underserved
areas
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
whether
it's
in
North,
Minneapolis,
South,
Minneapolis,
even
folks,
in
downtown
that
are
also
going
to
access
some
of
these
Services,
whether
it's
peeled
By,
the
Light
Rail
in
Lake
Street,
all
of
our
city.
F
We
know
that
this
is
really
important,
and
this
is
work
that,
at
least
in
my
area,
that
what
I
represent
folks
have
been
asking
for,
and
I've
been
really
trying
to
work
hard
with
our
neighbors
to
make
sure
that
we
can
make
it
happen.
So
I'm
just
very
proud
of
the
work.
That's
being
done
and
we'll
be
looking
to
you,
our
commissioner
and
our
Public
Safety
staff
on
that
long-term
Vision
to
make
sure
that
we
can
make
Minneapolis
safe
for
all.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
Ellison,
I,
really
just
want
to
also
Echo
comments
made
by
council
member
Chavez,
and
also
thank
you
to
you
know
our
neighborhood
safety
leaders
and
bringing
forward
this.
This
increase
on
these
contracts,
as
council
member
Chavez
has
highlighted.
This
is
something
that
residents
across
the
city
have
asked
the
city
to
continue
to
invest
in.
In
terms
of
you
know,
extending
and
expanding
our
unarmed
Safety
Services.
That
is
most.
C
You
know
in
capture
with
our
Minneapolis
us
contractual
Partners,
and
these
Services
represent
such
a
huge
asset
to
our
public
safety
system
and
I
know.
You
know,
there's
lots
of
conversation
in
you
know
how
do
we
continue
substantially
investing
in
these
and
and
there's
going
to
have
to
be
lots
of
ongoing
conversations
with
our
current
leadership
in
OCS
around
what
that
work
looks
like
I'm,
really
hopeful
that
that
will
be
shown
in
the
mayor's
budget.
C
That's
coming
forward
in
August
15th
that
we're
taking
this
work
seriously,
and
this
is
also
a
segment
of
the
workforce
in
our
public
safety
system,
where
we
see
the
greatest
diversity
and
people
who
are
living
in
the
communities
and
providing
such
a
need
and
and
being
part
of
keeping
their
Community
safe,
which
black
people
we
do
that
anyway.
C
So
thank
you
so
much
for
leading
on
this
I
also
want
to
give
major
kudos
to
council
member
Chavez
who,
in
working
in
collaboration
with
our
neighborhood
safety
Partners
to
not
only
you
know,
expand
this
across
the
South
Side,
but
also
across
North
Minneapolis.
As
you
mentioned,
you
know
these
issues,
don't
just
stop
at
one
particular
border
and
it's
great
that
we're
using
that
Geographic
solidarity
to
make
sure
all
of
our
constituents
or
you
know,
are
getting
access
to
these
helpful
unarmed,
Safety
Services.
C
So
just
want
to
give
again
kudos
to
your
office
for
beating
the
drum
beat
on
this
and
I'm
really
excited
to
support
these
contracts
today
and
continue
at
least
our
job.
In
doing
that
investment
and
as
we're
going
into
budget
season,
and
hopefully
we
can
make
it
rain.
A
little
bit
more,
these
programs.
A
Thank
you
so
much
I,
don't
think
we
have
any
further.
Oh
councilman
review
time.
E
Thank
you,
chair,
Ellison
I'm,
not
going
to
be
supporting
these
contracts
today,
I've
shared
my
concerns
with
staff.
I
think
that
there
is
places
in
the
city
where
this
is
working.
It's
not
what
I'm
hearing
from
my
constituents
that
we
don't
understand
like
where
we
have
lots
of
problems
on
36th
and
Penn
on
lottery
on
Lindale,
and
we
haven't
been
getting
the
support
that
we
need
in
those
areas
and,
as
I
said,
I've
shared
my
concerns
with
the
commissioner
with
his
staff.
So
I
will
not
be
supporting
this.
E
It's
not
that
I,
don't
appreciate
the
work
that
folks
are
doing,
but
I
really
need
to
have
something
to
show
and
to
give
my
constituency
in
Ward
four.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councilmember
thank
you
and
customer
service.
Is
your
text
back
up
again
or
is
it
okay,
cool,
just
making
sure
I'm
covering
all
my
bases?
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
presentation
really
exciting.
You
know
in
our
committee.
All
of
our
a
lot
of
our
contracts
could
just
easily
be
consent.
I
think
it's
really
important
for
council
members
to
get
context.
I
think
it's
important
for
the
public
to
get
context,
and
it
is
really
exciting
to
hear
that
these
services
are
going
to
be
expanding
in
hours
as
well.
A
You
know
I
think
that,
folks,
you
know
we
hear
a
lot
about.
You
know
our
our
The
Interrupters.
We
hear
a
lot
about.
A
You
know
the
work
that
they
do,
but
I
still
think
that
they're
still
a
real
Gap
in
in
that
understanding
of
what
they
do
on
the
ground,
how
many
hours
they're
out
there,
what
the
nature
of
the
contracts
are
and
so
having
you
come
here
and
present
today,
is
a
huge
sort
of
public
education
for
all
of
us
and
and
sort
of
political
civics
lesson
for
all
of
us
and
how
these
new
programs
are
working
and
forming
in
real
time.
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
Thank.
A
So
we
already
had
discussions
seeing
no
further
discussion.
I
will
move
approval
of
item
12.,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,.
E
A
And
that
motion
carries
and
that
item
is
approved
next
we
have
a
presentation
related
to
a
contract
Amendment
with
canopy
Roots
LLC
for
Behavioral
crisis
response.
Services
I'll
now
invite
staff
to
share
a
brief
presentation
on
this
contract.
G
Good
afternoon,
chair
Ellison,
Vice,
chair
wansley
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Gina
o'berry
I'm,
a
program
manager
in
the
department
of
Performance,
Management
and
Innovation
I
use
she
her
pronouns.
G
G
The
program
manager
of
Civic
Innovation
and
for
the
BCR
on
the
city
operations
side,
presenting
with
me
today
previously
was
Candace
Hansen,
the
executive
director
of
canopy
mental
health
and
Consulting
and
canopy
Roots.
However,
she
was
not
able
to
join
us
today,
but
we
do
have
Marissa
Stevenson
the
interim
program
manager
for
BCR
field
operations
with
canopy
roots,
I'll
start
by
giving
you
a
brief
overview
of
PMI.
Our
non-public
safety
work
generally
and
the
BCR
program
specifically
I'll
then
pass
it
off
to
Marissa
to
share
more
about
canopy
roots.
G
The
department
of
Performance,
Management
and
Innovation
or
PMI
for
short,
is
a
newly
formed
Department
as
of
this
year
and
folks
may
be
more
familiar
with
the
previous
iteration
of
our
team,
the
office
of
Performance,
Management
and
Innovation
or
OPI,
regardless
of
our
name.
Our
team
works
with
residents,
City
departments
and
elected
officials
to
create
a
culture
and
practice
of
data,
informed
Community,
centered,
Service
delivery.
In
Minneapolis
we
are
organized
into
four
divisions:
Performance
Management
and
evaluation,
human-centered
design,
Civic,
Innovation
and
resilience.
G
G
After
doing
extensive,
Community
engagement
throughout
2020,
both
virtually
in
the
form
of
surveys
and
also
in
the
form
of
community
centered
design
workshops.
Pmi
presented
a
plethora
of
Pilots
to
council
and
Council
approved
funding
for
Pilots
that
you
see
here
related
to
unarmed
Public
Safety.
G
G
G
G
Using
those
insights
PMI
worked
closely
with
community
members
during
those
design
workshops
to
create
this
Suite
of
Pilots
to
holistically
address
a
mental
health
crisis
incident
by
taking
a
multi-pronged
approach.
The
hope
is
that
the
person
in
crisis
gets
the
best
experience
possible.
All
the
way
from
before
A
call
begins
to
when
responders
arrive.
G
As
of
April
2022,
all
911
staff
were
certified
in
emergency
mental
health
dispatching
and
we
also
plan
to
Pilot
embedding
mental
health
personnel
on
the
floor
of
9-1-1
to
help
triage
Mental
Health
crisis
calls
I've
received
a
few
questions
about
the
status
of
this
pilot
in
particular,
and
how
new
911
staff
will
be
certified
at
this
time.
Both
of
these
Pilots
are
on
hold
to
due
to
an
ongoing
687
thousand
dollars
that
Council
allocated
to
PMI
in
the
2021
adopted
budget
for
various
Pilots.
G
That
money
was
Inc
or
those
funds.
Excuse
me
were
incorrectly
transferred
to
Neighborhood
safety,
along
with
the
BCR
funding
that
funding
was
kind
of
lumped
together
in
an
alternative
bucket,
and
when
the
funding
transitioned
to
Neighborhood
safety
I
believe
there
was
confusion
that
only
the
BCR
funds
should
have
been
sent
with
leaving
the
remaining
dollars
in
pmi's
budget,
so
that
we
could
continue
those
approved
Pilots.
G
I
brought
this
up
to
Office
of
Public
Service
leadership
and
the
budget
office
and
they're
in
the
process
of
figuring
out
how
to
go
about
the
technical
amendment
to
get
this
reappropriated
to
PMI.
To
resume
work
on
these
Pilots.
G
Now,
to
get
into
a
little
bit
about
the
BCR
and
the
contract,
as
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
behavioral
crisis
response
or
BCR,
is
the
city's
newest
first
responder
program
providing
in-person,
de-escalation
support
and
resources
to
people
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis.
They
are
unarmed,
highly
trained,
they're,
unarmed,
highly
trained
teams
of
mental
health
personnel
who
are
dispatched
city-wide,
3911
I
do
want
to
clarify
something
that
was
incorrectly
stated
on
page
60
of
the
Harvard
report
that
was
presented
last
week.
G
G
At
this
time,
the
number
of
incidents
that
BCR
has
responded
to
since
December
2021
is
estimated
at
more
than
12
000
incidents
in
total,
rather
than
the
17
6
7
600
incidents
that
was
through
December
2022..
G
G
G
Former
PMI
director,
Brian,
Smith
and
I
have
both
represented
the
city
nationally
and
internationally
for
our
leadership
in
this
work
and
PMI
has
been
awarded.
2.5
million
dollars
of
federal
funding
from
Senator
klobuchar's
office
to
continue
our
design
work
for
further
unarmed
Public
Safety
responses.
G
Despite
this
director
Smith
and
myself
have
been
regularly
left
out
of
key
decision
making
and
planning
for
the
program
that
would
not
exist
without
pmi's
work
while
unfortunate.
This
is
not
surprising,
as
this
would
not
be
the
first
time
that
City
leadership
has
deemed
that
staff
who
created
and
successfully
managed,
programming
or
directly
or
indirectly
told
that
they
were
not
qualified
to
continue
growing.
That
work.
G
Canopy
Roots
stood
out
as
having
the
values
and
characteristics
that
community
members
represented
or
excuse
me
communicated
were
important
and
essential
for
a
new
response
to
serve
folks
who
are
having
mental
health
and
Behavioral
Health
crises,
and
with
that
I
will
pass
it
to
Marissa
Stevenson,
the
interim
program
manager
for
the
BCR
to
share
more
about
canopy
routes
and
their
work.
H
You
afternoon,
chair
Ellison,
chair,
Ellison,
Vice,
chair
wansley
and
committee
members,
so
renewing
and
extending
the
contract.
The
full
three
years
is
in
the
best
interest
of
Minneapolis
government
and
the
Minneapolis
Community
canopy
Roots
has
been
Nimble.
Creative
ethical
solution
focused
and
committed
to
our
values
during
the
process
of
co-building
this
program
with
City
staff,
we've
put
Community
Members
First
with
their
needs
and
best
interest
as
the
compass
that
guides
our
journey
and
I'd
like
to
touch
on
the
following
points
to
expand
on
this
one.
H
H
Many
of
our
responders
have
expressed
unwillingness
to
do
this
kind
of
work
through
another
company
or
for
city
government.
Any
company
that
does
this
work
would
have
to
hire
for
it.
No
company
already
has
crisis
responder-like
staff
on
board.
According
to
the
alternative
mobile
services,
Association
amsa.
Other
similar
programs,
like
this
have
launched
around
the
country,
have
taken
a
much
longer
time
to
staff
and
build
up
such
as
Baltimore
Maryland,
Madison,
Wisconsin,
Portland
and
Dayton.
H
Two
excuse
me:
canopy
Roots
has
been
nationally
and
locally
recognized
for
our
work.
We've
presented
our
work
at
Nami,
mssa,
the
national
league
of
cities,
and,
just
last
week,
representative
ilahan
Omar
did
a
side
visit
to
our
office.
We've
began,
we've
begun
to
build
relationships
with
Senator,
Smith
and
klobuchar's
offices.
Recently,
we've
been
recognized
by
here
is
Minneapolis
campaign
by
pollen
and
the
Minneapolis
Foundation,
and
we
have
built
relationships
with
the
Poland
Foundation
as
well.
We
build
countless
Community
connections
that
rely
that
we
rely
on
our
work
every
day.
H
A
new
agency
would
need
to
re-establish
these
relationships.
Furthermore,
the
community
has
welcomed
us
warmly
and
has
expressed
excitement
about
how
we're
doing
this
work.
Three
we've
developed
positive
relationships
with
MPD
EMS,
Park,
police
and
dispatch.
We've
done
this
while,
despite
having
to
navigate
a
public
safety
and
political
system
whose
protocol
and
culture
were
not
built
to
include
this
type
of
service.
H
For
for
anyone
who
provides
this
service,
a
shorter
contract
length
makes
it
hard
to
recruit.
The
public
knows
the
length
of
our
contract
and,
as
we've
gotten
closer
to
the
end
of
the
contract.
More
and
more
recruits
have
cited
this
concern
with
taking
the
job
even
now
we're
weeks
away
from
the
end
of
our
contract
and
our
staff.
Don't
technically
know
whether
or
not
they're
going
to
have
a
job
after
mid-august.
H
H
Our
last
staff
survey
revealed
very
high
job
satisfaction,
levels,
feelings
of
being
supported
by
supervisors
and
feeling
good
about
their
future
at
the
company.
This
was
despite
them,
feeling
frustrated
by
the
challenges
associated
with
functioning
in
a
system
that
wasn't
built
to
include
Mental,
Health
First
Responders
canopy
route
staff
are
passionate.
They
love
what
they
do
and
they
love
working
for
our
company.
H
H
H
The
space
issue
was
taking
a
significant
toll
on
our
morale
and
negatively
impacting
day-to-day
functioning
I
was
making
an
already
incredibly
difficult
job,
even
more
difficult.
So,
eventually
Council
authorized
a
budget
increase
which
allowed
funds
for
the
monthly
cost
of
a
leasing.
Space
canopy
took
on
a
commercial
lease,
which
some
of
you
may
know
can
typically
only
be
gotten
through
a
length
of
five
years
at
minimum,
which
is
longer
than
the
length
of
our
contract.
H
We
decided
to
take
the
risk
because
there
was
no
way
this
level
and
quality
of
work
could
continue
in
the
caliber
of
Staff
without
having
the
proper
space
to
hold
us.
In
addition,
we
are
confident
that
our
staff
would
continue
to
do
Stellar
work,
which
would
increase
the
likelihood
of
the
contract
being
renewed.
We
asked
you
today
the
council
to
consider
this
risk.
Canopy
took
to
help
give
the
City
of
Minneapolis
the
quality
team
and
services
they
deserve
by
extending
our
contract
through
2025..
Thank
you.
G
This
slide
describes
some
of
the
challenges
that
PMI
has
faced
with
getting
canopy
routes.
Contract
extended
for
the
provision
of
BCR
services,
director,
Smith
and
I
were
working
in
to
get
the
contract
extended
for
the
three
optional
years.
However,
the
permanent
review
community
did
not
approve
this,
given
that
management
of
the
management
of
the
BCR
is
supposed
to
transition
to
the
Department
of
neighborhood
safety
in
2024.
G
G
G
This
is
included
being
left
out
of
important
and
regularly
occurring
Public
Safety
all
agency
meetings,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
BCR
has
the
necessary
information
to
be
able
to
coordinate
things
appropriately
and
has
led
to
confusion,
further
confusion
and
inefficiency.
If
inefficiencies
both
internally
and
externally,.
G
Currently,
staff
are
in
the
middle
of
transitioning
the
program
from
PMI
to
Neighborhood
safety,
while
also
moving
into
24
7
service
provision
by
the
end
of
the
summer.
With
these
changes
in
process
and
for
reasons
that
Marissa
described,
completing
a
three-year
extension
would
help
ensure
a
smoother
transition
and
avoid
an
interruption
of
BCR
services
for
community
members.
G
In
closing,
it
is
my
hope
that,
after
an
outpouring
of
Community
Support
appreciation
from
Public
Safety
Partners,
two
legal
investigations
and
a
report
from
an
elite
academic
institution
that
the
city
Enterprise
provides
the
pragmatic
support
to
the
BCR
as
operated
by
canopy
routes
that
the
program
deserves
and
with
that.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
For
today,
I
will
stand
with
my
colleagues
for
questions.
A
C
Thank
you,
chair,
I
was
saying
first
I
want
to
just
say
thank
you
to
canopy
and
thank
you
to
our
amazing
staff
and
PMI
for
continuing
to
build
out
and
support
this
necessary
work
that
Council
approved
back
in
2019
and,
as
you
mentioned
by
the
headlines,
it's
very
clear.
C
It's
one
of
the
most
widely
supported
initiatives
that
this
city
has
led
on
when
it's
come
to
delivering
on
a
comprehensive,
Public,
Safety
A
system
that
goes
beyond
policing
and
I
just
want
to
give
you
credit
for
the
work
that
you
you've
done
around
this.
C
In
spite
of
all
of
the
challenges
that
you
just
laid
out-
and
you
know
I'm
really
hoping
that
this
committee
can
be
a
resource
in
figuring
out
how
we
can
reconcile
issues
around
funding
because
there's
no
way
you
all
should
be
struggling
with
issues
around
funding
and
getting
it
to
our
BCR
teams
and
I
know
that
has,
as
you
mentioned,
been
picked
up
publicly
in
terms
of
lack
of
support
for
our
BCR
making
sure
you
have
the
fleet
necessary
to
transport
residents
and
don't
have
cars
breaking
down
on
you.
C
So,
while
people
are
in
mental
distress,
there
is
no
reason
why
this
money
should
not
be
in
the
hands
of
one
of
the
most
successful
programs
that
the
city
has
led
on
around
Public
Safety.
C
We
don't
face
these
problems
in
MPD,
and
neither
should
you
all
so
I'm
definitely
committed
in
working
with
my
colleagues
to
make
sure
whatever
we
need
to
reconcile
and
also
I
see
our
interim
CEO
Heather
Johnson
OCS
reps
here,
Jerry
Jeffries,
to
figure
out
how
we
can
make
that
happen,
and
it
shouldn't
have
to
wait
until
August
15th
with
the
mayor
releases,
his
budget.
C
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
laying
out
those
clear
challenges
and
knowing
like
here,
we
we're
here
to
be
a
resource
to
you
all
so
that
you
can
continue
canopy
specifically
doing
the
phenomenal
work
that
you've
been
leading
on
and
setting
a
national
example,
as
you
already
named,
that
are
Statewide
and
federal
elected
leaders
that
the
doj
that
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
have
recognized
that
we
we
need
to
continue
and
expand
upon.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
see.
This
committee
support
the
additional
Pilots.
C
That
should
not
also
be
put
on
hold,
because
that
means
we're
depriving
our
residents
of
other
options
for
their
Public
Safety
needs
outside
of
just
policing.
So
we
should
be
here
advocating
as
best
as
possible
to
you
know,
remove
any
interruptions
and
challenges
institutionally,
so
you
all
can
do
this
work
and
our
residents
can
get
the
expansive
list
of
menu
a
menu
of
options
when
it
comes
to
when
they're
in
crisis,
they
can
call
9-1-1
and
know
their
appropriate
response
is
going
to
show
up
for
them
when
they're
in
need.
C
So
thank
you
for
you.
You
all's
work
also
again.
I
just
want
to
credit
you
too,
for
delivering
on
the
comprehensive
side,
especially
in
light
of
the
third
precinct
presentation
you
all,
and
it's
not
you
know
and
surprising,
as
women
lit
is
women
of
color
LED,
who
are
delivering
on
this
model
that
our
residents
wants
to
see
us
move
forward
with
three
years
after
George,
Floyd's
murder
and
looking
at
building
a
new
mandate
for
our
public
safety
system.
C
So
thank
you
for
leading
in
the
absence
of
leadership
from
our
city
and
I,
got
you
back
so
whatever
we
can
do
to
meet
these
challenges.
You
know
where
we're
at.
A
And
I'm
not
saying
any:
oh
I
see
that
we
have
a.
We
have
questions
or
comments
from
councilman
rakoski.
I
I
wanted
to
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
today.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
the
additional
information.
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
do
a
ride
along
with
the
behavo
crisis
response
team,
and
it
was
transformative
and
so
enlightening.
I
A
I
I,
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
did
want
to
just
share
two
brief
stories.
First
off
I'm
happy
to
support
this
contract.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
this
come
before
committee.
A
You
know,
I
was
reading
the
paper
like
everyone
else,
I
got
a
little
bit
nervous
when
I
found
out
that
we,
we
weren't
sure
what
the
status
was
and
then
boom.
It's
right
here
before
the
committee,
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
having
a
chance
to
approve
this
and
continue
the
work
a
couple
of
years
ago,
as
you
guys
were
getting
set
up
as
BCR
was
getting
set
up
and
getting
integrated
into
9-1-1
I
had
a
moment
where
I
was
at
my
house,
somebody
knocked
the
door
who
was
a
stranger.
A
They
were
clearly
sort
of
not
fully
Lucid.
They
were
kind
of
having
a
mental
health
crisis
and
it
was
cold
out.
It
was
like
must
have
been
about
10
degrees
outside
and
they
didn't
have
any
shoes
on
and
I
became
very
and
I
and
I
had
like
two
conflicting
feelings.
One
was
that
I
didn't
necessarily
want
this
person
to
my
house
because
they
weren't
well,
but
I
also
was
like
I
can't
leave
them
outside
my
house
because
they
have
no
shoes
on
I,
don't
want
them
to
get
frostbite
and
so
I
had
some
friends
over.
A
So
we
you
know
we
got
space
heater
share
and
we
set
them
up
in
the
front
and
then
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
because
BCR
was
so
new
that
it
wasn't
top
of
mind.
It
wasn't.
The
first
like
oh
I,
can
call
9-1-1
and
get
the
exact
response.
I
need,
and
so
it
took
about
15
minutes
of
like
deliberation
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
this
person
didn't
come
into
all
the
way
into
my
house,
and
you
know,
and
and
because
I
just
their
behavior
was
unpredictable
before
it
was
like.
A
Oh
I
can
I
can
actually
just
call
9-1-1
and
get
the
response.
The
the
exact
response
that
I'm
looking
for
not
a
police
response,
not
an
armed
response,
but
the
response
that
I'm
looking
for
and
and
my
nerves
were
like
sort
of
like
out
of
10
all
the
way
up
until
the
the
behavioral
crisis
team
showed
up
and-
and
they
just
took
control
of
the
situation,
it
was
perfect
and
so
I,
just
like
as
I
know
that
that's
a
little
bit.
A
That's
one
anecdote,
that's
confirmation
bias,
but
it
was
a
real
situation
and
even
I
as
a
council
member.
Having
been
a
part
of
these
conversations
when
I
was
faced
with
an
emergency,
it
wasn't
the
first
thought
that
I
had,
but
when
we
finally
realized
that
we
could
make
that
call,
it
was
such
a.
It
was
such
a
perfect
fit
for
the
Emergency
that
that
person
was
facing,
and
so
that's
one
story.
The
other
was
when
I
did
a
ride,
along
with
with
a
police
officer
out
of
the
fourth
precinct.
A
There
were
various
times
throughout
the
night
where
he
kept
remembering
that
he
could
call
on
you,
all's
team
for
certain
things,
and
so,
and
so
it
was
like
kind
of
a
real
time
being
like
I.
Don't
really
know
what
to
do
in
this
situation.
A
Oh
I
can
I
can
I
can
rely
on
BCR
to
come
out,
and
so
that
was
just
sort
of
like
another
another
moment
where
I
realized
that,
like
this
is
a
service
that
people
really
like,
not
just
residents
like
myself,
not
just
people
who
are
facing
a
mental
health
crisis
who
you
know
who
need
someone?
Who
knows
what
they're
doing
not
you
know
not
a
frazzled
council
member.
A
You
know
not
not
an
officer
who's
who's,
you
know
who
doesn't
have
that
type
of
training
and
then
officers
enjoy
it
because
you
know
they
they're
faced
with
all
kinds
of
situations
that
are
at
best
time
consuming
and
at
worst,
fatal
right
and
so
and
so
to
to
see
the
service
be
integrated
into
9-1-1.
Is
is
incredible,
and
so
I
just
want
to.
A
Thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
I
did
notice
in
the
recommendations
that
you
all
are
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
Miss
obery,
but
you
all
are,
as
a
part
of
your
recommendation,
sort
of
asking
us
to
look
at
adding
an
additional
year,
even
more
so
than
what
is
here
that
on
our
for
us
to
approve
today,
I'm,
not
ready
to
I'm,
not
prepared
to
sort
of
make
that
Amendment
right
now,
but
I
can
commit
to
having
Congress
having
some
follow-up
conversations
and
seeing,
if
that's
an
amendment
that
we
can
make
to
this
contract
before
full
Council
later
this
week.
A
You
know
don't
want
to
make
any
promises,
but
it
was
there
in
the
recommendations
and
so
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
it,
and,
and
even
if
it's
not
something
that
stat,
you
know
that
leadership
is
ready
prepared
to
do
just
know
that
it's
a
conversation
that
council's
ready
to
have
about
how
to
make
sure
that
this
work
is
fully
integrated
again.
I
I,
don't
see
this
as
a
service
that
it
that
is
a
nice
to
have
I,
don't
see
this
as
a
service.
A
That
is
something
that
we
should
continue
sort
of
plotting
along
in
a
pilot
phase
for
many
many
years.
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
fully
integrate
this
into
how
our
city
does
business
and
how
our
city
conducts
safety
and
keeps
neighbors
safe
and
so
I'm
I'm
certainly
committed
to
that.
So
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
piece
and
then
again
share
those
stories,
and
thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
is
there.
Are
there
any
other
questions?
Councilmember
Chaves.
F
Making
sure
Allison
just
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
the
work
to
you,
PMI
and
the
incredible
staff
that
have
done
in
creating
the
BCR
program
at
large
and
working
with
canopy
I
want
to
appreciate
that
work
and
a
lot
of
the
constituents
that
represent
use
this
service
and
they
feel
comfortable
calling
9-1-1
just
because
they
know
that
this
exists.
So
you
have
the
support
of
my
office
and
our
colleagues
up
here
today
in
whatever
next
steps
that
you
need
to
go
forward.
G
A
Absolutely
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
colleagues
seeing
none
I
will
move
approval
of
this
item.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
that
motion
carries
and
that
item
is
approved.
A
With
that,
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee
today.
Thank
you
to
our
presenters
and
with
no
objection.
We
are
adjourned.
