obviously

on
a
regular
basis,
are
noticing
and
they're
letting
us
know.
But
yeah
I
should
have
made

A
Is
there
any
discussion
on
any
of
these
items
and
item
item?
One
has
been
pulled
for
discussion
already.
I
will
call
on
Vice
chair
wansley,
okay,.
D
Thank
you,
chair
Ellison
I
wanted
to
just
speak
to
item
10
the
hiring
practices
for
Public
Safety
workers.
Oh
sorry,
this
let
I
just
wanted
to
give
some
context
on
it.
So
this
legislative
directive
is
something
that
my
office
has
been
working
on
for
over
a
year.
Something
I
have
said
repeatedly
since
entering
office.
Is
that
you
know,
despite
years
that
has
passed
since
the
murder
of
George
Floyd.
There
has
not
been
the
level
of
systemic
changes.
D
That's
needed
to
be
made
to
our
hiring
retention
and
firing
practices
that
has
not
really
come
into
fruition,
and
proof
of
this
was
demonstrated
earlier
last
year,
when
a
local
journalist
exposed
how
officers
who
have
problematic
histories
were
being
elevated
into
leadership
and
instead
of
taking
action.
What
we
saw
instead
was
just
our
interim
Chief
at
the
time
and
the
mayor
responding
to
Media
rounds,
and
this
is
problematic
for
various
reasons,
but
also
affirms
what
I've
heard
from
instructors
and
even
former
police
officers
that
you
know.
D
Last
month,
the
city
also
signaled
to
potential
police
officers,
both
in
and
out
of
the
state
that
we're
not
making
these
robust
changes
through
the
hiring
of
an
officer
who
had
tased
the
unarmed
black
man
just
days
after
George
Floyd's
murder,
and
in
that
case,
It
ultimately
resulted
in
Virginia's
taxpayers
footing
the
bill
for
150
000
legal
settlement
I
have
been
in
Communications
with
MPD
about
their
hiring
practices,
I'm
aware
that
they
are
looking
to
make
changes
to
them
so
their
system,
especially
under
you
know,
under
the
guise
of
being
in
compliance
with
our
new
settlement
agreement
and
the
coming
one
from
the
doj
and
I
look
forward
to
them
coming
before
Council
to
share
their
robust
accountability
mechanisms
that
they're
developing
to
ensure
that
you
know
whatever
practices
that
still
exist,
that's
leading
to
the
hiring
of
high
risk
and
dangerous
people.
D
Finally
come
to
an
end.
That
being
said,
this
legislative
directive
is
meant
to
understand
how
human
resources
and
potentially
other
appropriate
departments
like
our
city
attorney's
office,
how
they
also
have
a
role
in
responsibility,
quite
frankly,
in
mitigating
our
risk
and
making
sure
we
have
eyes
outside
of
MPD.
D
That's
also
looking
at
applications
coming
from
Public
Safety
workers,
so
I
am
hoping
that
you
know
this
legislative
directive
when
it
comes
back
that
the
council
and
the
public
can
have
a
clearer
understanding
of
What
mechanisms
of
accountability
outside
of
MPD
will
exist
to
ensure
that
we
are
hiring
high
quality
candidates
who
have
a
violent
free
background.
So
I
just
wanted
to
provide
some
context
on
that.
F
A
So
item
one
has
been
pulled
for
discussion
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
so
we'll
we'll
be
discussing
that
after
after
we
take
up
the
consent
agenda,
we
can,
if
you'd
like
to
either
give
we
can
pull
those
other
items.
Unless
you
want
to
yeah,
we
can
pull
those
other
items.
What
were
they
again?
They
were
three
and.
A
And
five,
so
so
the
clerks
when
we
pull
items
three
and
five
and
was
there
and
then
you
had
a
few
questions
on
item
ten
or
or
comments?
Yes,
okay,.
A
A
Why
don't
we
pull
it
for
discussion,
then
we'll
pull
item
10
for
discussion
and
then
we'll
take
up
the
we'll
pass
the
consent
agenda
and
then
we'll
take
those
items
up
afterwards.
Any
other
discussion
on
the
consent
agenda,
all
right.
So
with
the
inclusion
of
items.
Oh
my
God,
two
four.
A
G
A
So
we'll
take
up
items
we'll
take
up
the
consent
agenda,
minus
the
items
named
already
and
then
we'll
take
up
items
23-26.
You
said
just
for
a
separate
roll
call
vote,
but
no
no
discussion
needed
on
that,
all
right.
So
on
the
consent
agenda,
as
stated
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
aye,
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
those
items
are
approved
for
items
we'll
take
up
items
23-26
and
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll.
B
No
Koski
I
Johnson
all
right,
Vice,
chair
wansley.
H
B
B
I'm
sorry
Trail
awesome
was
that
23
through.
A
23-26
at
risk
of
of
of
not
getting
this
all
the
way
right,
I
did
want
to
say
those
were
the
items
related
to
workers,
comp
claims
and
presumably
some
of
the
PTSD
claims
that
we've
seen
coming
through
MPD
every
city
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
has
sort
of
been
dealing
with
this
issue
and
I
just
so.
The
public
knows
you.
There
has
been
some
legislation
that
has
been
moving
at
the
state
level.
A
I
need
to
you
know
before
I
speak
on
it
too
much
I
want
to
make
sure
I
have
all
my
details
right,
so
I'm
not
going
to
take
it
any
further
than
that,
but
there
is
some
State
legis,
some
State,
some
State
action
happening
that'll,
hopefully
alleviate
some
of
that
burden
create
a
little
bit
more
of
a
check
and
balance
on
on
on
what
a
lot
of
cities
across
the
state
have
been
dealing
with,
including
Minneapolis,
which
is
these.
A
These
PTSD
workers
comp
claims
sort
of
really
really
dominating
our
our
agenda
here.
So
just
wanted
to
let
the
public
know
that
and
I'm
sure
we'll
have
more
information
as
we
have
more
information,
so
I'm
gonna
take
up
the
items
in
reverse
order,
because
we
do
have
a
presentation
on
item
one.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
can
just
focus
on
that
and
not
have
lingering
items
afterwards.
A
So
item
10
I,
believe,
is
the
first
item
we
were
going
to
take
up
here
for
discussion
and
I'll
call
in
councilmemberkowski
to
ask
any
questions
she
might
have.
F
Thank
you,
Charleston
I
just
was
wondering
no
I
heard
customer
wansley.
She
said
she's
been
working
on
this
for
about
a
year,
but
this
is
the
first
that
I've
seen
this
so
I
just
had
a
couple.
Questions
related
to
number
three
on
here:
I
see
that
we've
pulled
out
four
sub
points
of
11.03,
B
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
speak
to
why
we're
pulling
out
or
why
you
wanted
to
pull
those
out
specifically
versus
the
entirety.
F
D
I
I
think
you
should
read
it
completely
and
I
can
do
it
for
the
public
record,
because
then
it
will
make
sense.
So
right
now
three
states
recommendations
for
policies
and
practices
to
best
ensure
the
hiring
of
Public
Safety
workers
who
are
unlikely
to
participate
or
increase
in
misconduct,
particularly
misconduct
Define
under
Civil
Service
rules.
Those
are
our
current
rules
that
defines
classifications
around
misconduct,
11.03
B,
and
then
it
lists
those
current
classifications.
F
Okay,
so
our
a
b
c
and
d
are
there
more
of
those
classifications
in
11.03
B,
though,
than
just
those
four.
E
Any
other
questions
on
item
10,
if
not
I'll,
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
on
that
on
item
10.
council.
F
B
F
F
These
are
coming
after
the
date
which
I
know
we
have
done
that
in
the
past,
but
I
was
just
wondering
if
someone
could
speak
to
our
process,
because
even
if
we
flip
to
the
next
page,
we
do.
We
are
accepting
a
gift,
that's
happening
in
the
future,
but
we
do
this
where
we
accept
them
after
they've
happened
and
into
the
future,
and
so
it's
just
hoping
I
could
get
a
clarification
on
that.
H
Committee,
chair
council
member,
in
most
cases,
we
do
try
as
much
as
we
can
to
do
it
ahead
of
time
and
I
know
that
that's
the
the
request
from
Council.
In
some
cases
we
either
don't
know
until
the
last
minute.
It's
a
last
minute
ask,
or
in
these
cases
we
had
actually
a
change
in
Personnel
in
the
department
and
the
person
who
is
booking
the
travel
knew
the
situation,
but
the
rest
of
us
who
maybe
are
involved
in
the
process,
did
not
so.
H
H
A
And
I
see
that
we've
got
attorney
Trammell
looking
to
weigh
in.
J
J
That
is
because
elected
officials
and
those
officials
in
the
city
who
file
statements,
economic
interest
are
governed
by
the
Minnesota
gift
ban
and
the
rules
in
those
situations
require
that
if
a
gift
is
given
to
the
city
for
use
by
one
of
those
persons
from
an
in
a
lobbyist
or
a
lobbyist
principle
that
they
be
accepted
by
the
council
prior
to
use,
failure
to
do
so
could
result
in
having
to
face
allegations
of
failure
to
comply
with
the
gift
ban
under
Minnesota
statutes
and
appearances
before
the
Minnesota
campaign
Finance
board.
J
Now,
in
some
situations,
the
gift
is
not
given
by
a
prohibited
source,
so
it
doesn't
create
a
problem,
but
the
problem
of
always
trying
to
decide
at
the
11th
Hour,
whether
it's
a
prohibited,
Source
gift
or
not
LED
finance
and
on
the
attorney's
office
to
determine
the
better
practice
is
to
just
approve
them
before
these
persons
accept
the
travel
and
use
it.
Does
that
help
it's.
A
Very
yeah,
it's
very
helpful
I
I
would
have
just
a
one,
a
follow-up
question
on
that
front.
Here
we
do
have
a
situation
where
we're
accepting
gifts
from
the
Joyce
foundation
and
John
Jay,
College
I,
don't
know
I
would
I
can
make
some
assumptions
about
whether
or
not
they're
from
prohibited
from
or
from
lobbyists,
but
I
think
they're,
not,
and
so
would
this
be
okay.
I
know
that
it's
and
I
can
understand
the
explanation
you
just
give.
A
It's
almost
like
I
feel
like
I'm
living
it
real
time,
because
I
don't
want
to
be
up
here
deciding
whether
this
is
an
appropriate.
You
know,
person
accept
a
gift
from,
but
we
would
still
be
within
our.
We
would
still
be
within
our
legal
bounds
to
accept
this.
If
we
were
to
accept
these
today,
even
though
it
would
be
outside
of
best
practice.
J
Chair
Ellison,
that
is
correct.
The
the
problem
arises
with
the
public
official
and
whether
they're
at
greater
risk
of
being
called
before
the
Minnesota
campaign
board
for
a
violation
got.
A
It
got
it.
Thank
you,
I
think.
That's
all
the
questions
I
have.
Is
there
any
other
questions
from
Council
on
items?
Five
and
three
all
right.
Thank
you
to
that
end,
I
think
we
can
take
up
five
and
three
together
if
that's
okay
with
the
clerks
and
then
before
we
do
a
roll
call
on
the
vote.
I'll
just
say
to
attorney
tremel's
Point,
not
ideal
to
be
getting
these
after
the
facts
and
I
hope.
A
The
department
really
hears
that
but
I
think
that,
given
my
assessment
of
these
two
items,
I
will
be
supporting
them
today,
but
just
want
to
note
it
is
not
it's
not
best
practice
and
we
really
want
to
see
these
coming
before
Council
prior
to
the
action
at
least
before
committee,
even
if
not
before
a
full
council
meeting
so
cool.
You
know
the
discussion
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll
on
items
three
and
five.
E
A
I
Chair
Allison
community
members
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
on
this
this
afternoon.
I
will
say:
ordinarily,
the
the
HR
computation
classifications
manager
would
typically
present
on
this.
Her
name's
Brenda
Miller.
I
She
unfortunately
wasn't
able
to
attend
today,
but
she
did
prepare
this
presentation
unless
it's
full
form
so
happy
to
speak
on
the
position
itself,
but
I
would
defer
any
logistical,
HR
questions
to
HR
to
answer
after
the
presentation
that
works
all
right
perfect,
as
commissioner
Alexander
previewed
during
the
first
quarterly
update
to
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
last
week,
HR
and
the
Oscar
Community
safety
are
bring
forward
a
director
of
Partnerships
and
Outreach
position
today
for
approval
for
just
for
clarifications
and
say
this
on
the
slide
necessarily.
I
But
this
is
an
already
existing
position
that
we're
looking
to
move
to
appointed
non-classified
status.
So
again,
this
was
budget
for
in
2023
through
the
normal
budgeting
process,
and
so
this
is
just
making
this
in
a
pointed
position,
and
so
with
that
we
are
requesting
the
committee
move
this
forward
to
make
the
Viewpoint
position
as
necessary
as
you'll
see
from
this
diagram,
the
position
will
report
to
the
OS
Community
safety.
I
Chief
of
Staff,
which,
alongside
the
aid
of
the
commissioner
and
director
of
communications
for
the
office
Community

I,
can
stay
here
for
this
next
part,
but
I
will
transition
in
the
middle.

Position
will
be
responsible
for
building
strengthening,
maintaining

departments,
and
this
not
only
extends
to
government
entities
but
Community
Partners
businesses
and
other
external
stakeholders.
I
This
rule
will
also
work
alongside
department,
heads
and
Department
staff
to
strategize
coordinate
and
collaborate
on
Outreach
and
partnership
efforts.
The
underlying
purpose
of

Management
on

of
the
city
and
the

to
ensure
we
have
strong
Partnerships
throughout
all
situations.
I
And,
as
you
can
see,
there's
a
very
long
list
of
kind
of
more
granular
job
activities
related
to
kind
of
moments
of
Crisis,
leading
coordinating
efforts
for

Outreach
among
other
kind
of
more
specific
purposes
that
are

Happy
answering
those
questions
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
If
there
are
those
but
I
will
keep
moving
forward.
I
So,
as
you
can
see

associated

a

Chief

is
part
of

Commissioner,
this
position
will
work
closely
with
the

I
We
are
purposefully
prioritizing
this
position
because
of
the
very
near-term
need
for
the
types
of
Partnerships
and
Outreach
that
this

will
be
dedicated
to,
especially
as
we're
heading
into
the
summer
months.
We
envision
this

being
very
active
with
community
and
with
government
leaders,
Business
Leaders,
non-profit
organizations
to
strengthen
and
maintain
relationships
with
those
stakeholders,
and
we
know
that
we
will
need
additional
positions
going
forward,
including
on

Innovation
and
implementation
of
new

and
complementary

We
will
be

appreciate

Moving
this
position
forward.
Council
members
and
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
know,
I've
got
a
few
questions.
I
see
a
few
council
members
with
questions
as
well.
Thank
you
for
the
presentations.
A
I
did
want
to
ask
a
question
about
you
know:
we've
had
we've
had
a
lot
of
reclassification
of
existing
positions
and
I
do
feel
like
there's
been
two
at
least
from
my
observation
as
a
layperson,
two
sort
of
different
ways
that
an
existing
position
gets
reclassified.
One
is,
for
example,
the
reposition
right.
It
was
the
yeah
race
and
equity
and
belonging.
A
You
know
it
was
a
director
position.
It
you
know
went
through
it
was.
It
was
a
division
first
and
then
it
became
a
a
department
and
so
there's
some
reclassification.
But,
as
I
said,
it's
essentially
the
same
job
same
roles
and
responsibilities,
just
different
new
classification
right
kind
of
Apples
to
Apples,
then
there
are
some
where
there's
an
existing
position,
that's
being
used,
but
the
salaries
being
bumped
way
up
and
the
roles
and
responsibilities
are
changing.
It's
an
existing
position
on
paper.
I
Yes,
Charles
and
that's
correct-
and
this
was
previously
a
vacant
crime
prevention,
specialist
position
right.
A
Great
great
I
I
did
really
quickly
want
to
go
over,
so
that
was
kind
of
a
little
bit
of
a
technical
question,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
was
looking
at
that
right
and
you
know
didn't
want
to
didn't,
want
to
confuse
the
public
and
think
of
we've
always
had
this
and
now
we're
just
reclassifying
it
when
our
in
the
job
duties.
A
You
know
and
I'm
not
you
know,
I'm
not
trying
to
be
flipping
here,
but
that
that
sounds
like
the
that
sounds
like
the
director's
job.
That
sounds
like
Cedric
Alexander's
job,
and
how
is
how
are
we
distinguishing?
What
this
role
is
doing
the
kinds
of
relationships
they're
supposed
to
be
building
from
what
the
you
know,
director
of
of
of
of
community
safety,
is
supposed
to
be
doing.
I
Charles
and
thank
you
for
the
question,
I
think
the
way
that
we
envision
this
working.
Obviously,
the
commissioner's
job
is
to
be
present
in
these.
These
spaces
I
think
what
we
have
acknowledged
in
the
first
eight
or
so
months
that
the
community,
the
upcoming
safety,
has
stood
up.
Is
that
probably
like
any
chief
of
police
fire
chief?
I
There
is
significant
time
demands
on
the
commissioner's
time,
my
time
as
chief
of
staff,
and
this
is
really
to
approach
this
work
with
a
great
amount
of
intentionality
I,
think
we
have
seen
in
the
past
a
couple
of
years,
Alone
the
harm
that
can
be
done
when
we
don't
have
strong
relationships
with
Community
with
government
entities
with
non-profits.
This
is
to
better
position
us
in
the
future
to
have
those
relationships
to
be
able
to
work
better
more
consistently
with
partners,
because,
especially
for
an
office
of
our
size.
I
Currently
it's
very
difficult
to
have
that
bandwidth
for
the
commissioner
or
myself
as
an
extension,
the
commissioner
to
show
up
in
those
spaces
as
frequently
as
we
need
to
so.
This
is
really
a
capacity
booster
and
go
down
on
top
of
that
it.
This
person
would
also
be
able
to
go
into
probably
smaller
Community
spaces
that
maybe
it
wouldn't
rise
to
the
commissioner
attending
to,
and
so
we
can
actually
have
better
insight
and
awareness
of
what's
happening
within
Community
within
neighborhood
organizations
that
that
we
we
may
not
otherwise
have.
A
D
Kick
it
to
you,
thank
you,
chair
Allison,
thanks
Jared,
so
you
know
I
know
the
city
already
has
infrastructure
when
it
comes
to
neighborhood
and
community
relations,
intergovernmental
relations
and
Communications.
Additionally,
the
five
OCS
departments
already
have
embedded
supports
for
those
functions
around
Community
engagement,
Communications
and
cross
jurisdictional
coordination.
In
fact,
you
know
when
you
talked
about
Community
engagement
and
smaller
kind
of
you
know.
Events
I
recognize
the
chief
of
police
chief
O'hara.
D
Just
did
a
ftard
not
too
long
ago,
so
I'm
very
interested
to
know
what
roles
and
responsibilities
would
this
position
kind
of
fulfill?
That's
not
already
being
filled
by
existing
City
staff,
already
embedded
within
the
Departments
included
in
OCS.
In
this,
the
city
entreprize
at
Large.
I
Chair
Ellison,
Vice
wansley,
thank
you
for
the
question.
I
would
say
so
you
hit
on
one
thing
in
your
your
statement
of
their
individual
components
within
our
five
OCS
departments.
I
think
similar
for
the
communications
director,
making
sure
that
those
efforts
are
coordinated,
collaborative,
sometimes
because
I
think
you
know
looking
at
past
instances.
Sometimes
they
are
sometimes
they
aren't
so
I
think
being
able
to
really
pull
those
together
into
one
cohesive,
like
Community
engagement,
strategy
for
lack
of
a
better
term
I
think
is
going
to
be
extremely
beneficial
for
the
office
Community
safety.
I
As
far
as
like
does
this
position
overlap
with
neighborhood
community
relations,
probably
I
would
say
a
bit
tangentally,
but
I
think
even
in
those
instances
where,
for
example,
the
commissioner
be
requested
to
attend
a
neighborhood
meeting
by
NCR,
for
example,
you
still
have
that
capacity
issue
where
on
a
given
night,
the
commissioner
or
myself
could
have
other
competing
competing
meetings
that
we
need
to
attend
to.
So
this
really
is
I.
I
Think
what
we
view
as
a
capacity
builder
in
that
regard,
that
this
person
would
be
able
to
go
kind
of
talk,
at
least
at
a
high
level,
about
what
the
ask
me.
Safety
is
doing
and
be
able
to
speak
with
some
amount
of
granularity
into
what
the
Departments
are
doing
as
well.
D
It
seems
like
they've,
been
doing
that
you
know
even
with
the
arson
it's
incident
with
the
Moss.
Just
several
weeks
ago
we
had
fire,
do
their
own
press
advisory.
D
The
MPD
do
their
press
advisory
I'm,
not
clear
still
of
how
our
comps
Department
couldn't
support
the
coordination
going
forward,
but
yeah
I
will
name
that
in
kind
of
summarize,
a
chair,
Ellison's
request
in
terms
of
it
does
seem,
like
you
all,
have
been
doing
your
due
diligence
to
be
responsive
to
these
Community
meetings
and
being
able
to
share
what
is
happening
around
OCS,
especially
in
regards
to
like
report
backs
on
operation
Endeavor.
D
So
it
seems
like
that
is
work
that
you
all
are
managing
that
I'm
still
a
little
bit
unclear
on
how
this
department
will
add
that,
but
for
their
from
their
I
do
have
a
follow-up
question
and
I
know
we
addressed
this
a
little
bit
in
PHS,
so
I
in
thinking
of
embedded
supports
too.
So
is
there
with
that
or
chart
with
the
four
media
Specialists?
D
Is
there
a
goal
for
OCS
to
move
those
media
relations
positions
from
each
of
the
OCS
departments,
because,
again
from
my
understanding,
they're
all
having
their
Communications
and
to
then
have
those
then
be
separated
out
into
OCS?
Then
to
occupy
these
positions.
I
Chair
Allison,
custom,
Romans,
I,
wonder
if
you
could
rephrase
your
question.
Oh
I'm.
D
Clearly
asking
so,
as
I
mentioned
so
OCS,
each
department
already
have
some
of
their
communication
support.
You
have
the
four
media
Specialists
here
is
the
goal
to
move
those
kind
of
charge.
You
know
comps
folks,
within
each
OCS
Department
into
these
four
positions.
I
When
you're
saying
those
charge
books,
so
the
four
that
we
have
here
so
three
of
them
are
already
existing
and
already
filled
by
the
the
blue
boxes
that
you
see
on
the
screen.
Those
are
already
filled
positions,
so
the
those
three
tour
are
dedicated
to
MPD
already,
and
one
is
working
on
neighborhood
safety
primarily,
but
the
goal
is
so
with.
I
These
four
is
that
you
have
a
designated
media
relations,
at
least
one
designated
media
relation
specialist
for
each
of
our
five
departments,
and
obviously
those
five
would
be
really
closely
collaborating
strategizing
with
the
communications
director
and
work
very
very
closely
with
the
the
Departments
and
the
department
heads
that
they're
assigned.
D
Okay
and
just
make
sure
I'm
getting
this
right.
You
said
two
already
designated
for
MPD:
one
is
for
neighborhood
safety
and
then
the
other
one
would
be
kind
of
the
at
Large
support
for.
I
The
other
and
I
will
acknowledge
that
we
are
still
we
are
still
trying
to.
We
just
got
the
communications
director
position
kind
of
squared
away,
that
was
an
existing
Public
Public
Safety
information
officer
director
position
that
we
had
to
essentially
re-scope
to
actually
fully
capture
what
we
needed
it
to
do.
So
we're
going
to
be
in
the
hiring
process
for
that
position
very
soon,
and
then,
once
we
kind
of
have
that
squared
away
we'll
be
looking
to
figure
out
what
is
the
workload
balance
for
all
these
media
relations
Specialists?
K
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
I
was
curious.
You
mentioned
the
crime
prevention,
specialist
role
being
repurposed
in
for
this,
can
you
speak
to
which
Precinct
that
affects
and
the
overall
strategy.
I
There,
chair,
Ellison,
councilmer,
Johnson
I,
do
not
remember
exactly
what
the
the
split
was
among
the
five
precincts.
I
I
would
have
to
go
back
and
look
I'm,
not
exactly
sure,
but
those
have
been
vacant
for
close
to
over
a
year.
So
they
had
been
that
way
for
a
while
yeah.
K
Because
I
know,
there's
active
hiring
process
right
now
around
a
CPS
role,
but
I
also
know.
The
third
precinct
has
historically
for
years
been
understaffed
on
the
crime.
K
Prevention
specialist
has
put
enormous
strain
on
our
crime
prevention,
Specialists,
which
which
we
do
have
in
the
third
precinct
and
they're
tasked
with
a
critical
role
around
building
community
and
connecting
with
residents
and
doing
that
direct
Outreach
and
making
sure
folks
know
what's
going
on,
and
so
it
it
just
frankly
kind
of
surprises
me
because
it
seems
like
a
really
critical
time
where
we
should
actually
be
Staffing
up.
Crime
prevention,
Specialists,
not
eliminating
these
roles,
so
I
would
really
like
more
information
on
that.
I
Johnson
great
Point,
this
so
just
a
reminder:
these
were
moved
in
the
2023
budget,
so
they
were
vacant.
This
is
kind
of
what
the
body
and
the
mayor
decided
was
was
the
purpose
we
do
not
have
the
ability,
I
believe
to
move
ftes,
and
we
do
have
we,
admittedly,
as
OCS,
have
a
need
for
this
position.
So
I
mean
I
can't
speak
to
the
reason
for
the
move
in
the
budget,
but
this
is
like
the
director
of
Outreach
and
Partnerships
was
an
identified
need
for.
I
Or
NCR
it
was
kind
of
a
simultaneous
move
council
member
where
it
was
so
back.
20,
20,
21
I
believe
the
crime
prevention,
specialist
removed
out
of
MPD
into
neighborhood
community
relations.
They
were
in
neighborhood
community
relations
until
last
year,
I
believe
and
then
in
the
budget
they
were,
the
filled
ones
were
moved
back
to
the
to
the
MPD,
the
vacant
ones,
I
believe
were
split,
I
believe
between
OCS
and
other
departments.
I
You
know
it
was
at
that
time
those
positions
had
been
been
vacant
for
a
while
and
I
think
it
was
as
a
matter
of
prioritization
trying
to
get
the
oscany
safety
set
up,
recognizing
that
we
do
have
further
crime
prevention,
specialist
needs,
but
as
a
matter
of
what
we
do,
first
I
think
that
was
perhaps
the
decision
that
way
that
I
can't
speak
with
full,
with
full
knowledge
of
that.
But
I
think
that
was
along
the
lines.
What
was
the
rationalism
correct?.
K
And
and
that
I
think
Mr
chair
is
probably
critical.
Information
for
us
to
have
is
to
understand
the
strategy
around
that
and
these
crime
prevention
specialist
roles.
You
know,
I,
am
advocate
for
more
resources
for
your
office,
Mr,
Jeffries
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
this
Council
provides
those
resources.
K
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
under
continuing
to
understaff
our
crime
prevention
Specialists,
which
play
such
a
critical
role
so
curious
to
hear
what
other
colleagues
have
to
say,
but
I
personally
kind
of
think
we
need
that
information,
so
a
delay
might
be
an
order
on
this
item.
Thank
you.
F
You
trailson
I
was
going
to
get
in
queue
to
ask
questions
about
the
crime,
forest
and
Specialists
as
well
so
I,
maybe
compile
on
here.
I.
Don't
think
that
it
was
at
least
the
council's
understanding
that,
when
we
shifted
budget
from
from
NCR
back
to
put
our
conference
specialist
in
MPD
that
that
meant
that
we
were
actually
going
to
be
eliminating
them
or
moving
their
budgets
to
other
roles
within
OCS.
F
So
I'm
just
going
to
state
that
for
the
record
that
that
was
not
my
understanding
and
so
to
the
point
of
the
crime
prevention.
Specialist
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
clear
on
what
your
ask
is
today
is
that
you
are
taking
a
role,
a
crime
prevention,
specialist
and
asking
to
get
our
permission
to
move
that
into
OCS
and
then
also
increase
the
pay
because
of
the
pay
of
a
crime
prevention
specialist.
Is
that
what
I'm
understanding.
I
G
Council
member
to
build
on
Mr
Jeffrey's
thing
to
clarify
this
position.
The
FTE
is
in,
as
he
mentioned,
the
office
of
community
safety.
The
request
before
you
is
the
council's
authorization
of
what
was
a
community:
a
neighborhood
community
safety,
specialist
job
into
a
new
position,
titled
director
or
partnership
Outreach,
and
the
classification
of
that
as
a
non-classified
appointed
position,
which
the
code
requires
Council
action
to
create
appointed
positions
that
are
outside
the
classified
service.
A
And
then
I
see
we
have
another
question
from
Vice
chair
wansley.
D
Thanks
sure
I
was
actually.
This
is
more
of
a
comment.
I
think
for
me,
I
understand,
I'm
hearing
you
know
concerns
about
crime
prevention,
Specialists.
For
me,
I
I
see
something
a
little
bit
more
alarming
in
terms
of.
There
feels
to
be
some
big
misunderstandings
about
the
purpose
of
this
office.
D
You
know
I
want
to
knowing
you
how
like
we're
almost
eight
months
in,
but
we're
actually
closer
to
a
year
with
the
OCS
commissioner
position
being
you
know,
created
that
happened
on
July,
8th
and
the
job
description
for
the
position.
At
that
time.
You
know
which
Cedric
Alexander
will
be
appointed
on
August
6th
stated
that
you
know
the
commissioner's
primary
focus
would
be
to
provide
a
comprehensive
and
collaborative
Community
safety
approach
to
Minneapolis
and
its
residents.
D
D
It
seems
to
be
a
lack
of
clarity
around
the
comprehensive
approach
for
this
new
office
and
that
being
part
of
the
primary
focus
of
this
work
and
I
know
you
all
stated
and
director
I
mean
Dr
Alexander
named
this
last
Wednesday,
that
you
know
he
was
informed
by
the
mayor
that
his
primary
function
would
be
to
integrate
five
existing
departments
into
a
more
streamlined
operation
and
that,
as
you
highlighted,
that
conversations
around
advancing
the
Innovative
public
sector
worked
that
what
happened
at
a
later
time.
D
But
you
know
it's
we're
coming
up
on
a
year,
and
it
is
still
concerning
that
our
commissioner,
who
was
charged
with
carrying
out
the
vision
for
this
new
office,
the
Community
State
safety,
is
still
unclear.
Of
that
being
the
primary.
D
You
know,
focus
of
this
work
and
I
think
the
ore
chart
is
reflective
of
that,
and
that
causes
me
lots
of
concern
and
that
Revelation
for
me
does
make
me
worry
about
expanding
this
office
with
additional
highly
paid
Deputy
Physicians
when
that
Clarity,
and
that
coordination
is
still
being
figured
out
into
terms
of
the
delivering.
D
When
that
comprehensive,
Public
Safety
piece-
and
you
know,
I
will
name
again
with
this
org
chart
where
I'm,
seeing
the
lack
of
that
Clarity
and
the
lack
of
the
vision
that
aligns
with
what
was
in
that
job
description
and
what
residents
have
come
to
expect
about
OCS.
D
You
know
we
see
in
this
org
chart
that
almost
50
percent
of
the
Staffing
positions
is
still
focused
on
public
relations,
and
that
is
I'm.
Seeing
similar
language
in
regards
to
the
positions
and
duties
laid
out
for
the
director
of
partnership.
Outreach
in
terms
of
it
seems
like
it's
primarily
charged
with
managing
perceptions
of
OCS
a
month
intergovernmental
partners
and
amongst
the
community.
D
So
that
still
feels
like
we're
in
this
line
of
prioritizing
branding
and
PR
over
delivering
on
that
comprehensive
Community
safety
system.
That
residents
do
want
to
see
the
city
move
forward
with
I
know.
You
know.
Dr
Alexander
and
several
of
us
on
the
PHS
committee
had
conversations
and
had
agreement
in
those
conversations
around.
You
know
we
need
to
continue
talking
more
about.
How
do
we
get
to
that
point
of
having
that
comprehensive
model
and
inviting
other
stakeholders
like
Dr
osteli,
to
be
part
of
that
and
I
was
also.
D
You
know,
affirmed
to
hear
that
you
all
would
take
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
we
provided
on
this
or
structure
last
Wednesday
into
consideration,
as
you
rethink
some
of
the
Staffing
allocations
in
the
vision
for
this
office,
but
that's
not
being
reflective
in
front
of
us
right
now
and
I
think
we
should,
as
councilmember
Johnson
highlight
like,
we
still
need
more
critical
information.
It's
very
clear.
We
should
still
have
more
conversations
around.
How
do
we
actually
get
to
that
point?
D
What
is
the
actual
plan
that
we're
going
to
move
forward
with
in
actualizing
that
comprehensive
safety
system
that
I'm
really
excited
that
Dr
off
Tilly
will
be
part
of
those
conversations
and
have
been
part
of
those
conversations
and
developing
what
that
can
look
like,
but
it
feels
like.
We
need
that
time.
First,
to
make
sure
that
whatever
future
positions
that
are
coming
before
this
body
is
being
integrated
into
a
well-organized
office,
that
does
have
a
clear
plan
and
I
have
not
seen
that
over
this.
D
I
Could
I
respond?
Yeah,
please
please
thank
you.
Councilman's
excellent
points
there.
So
I
will
say
for
from
a
context
standpoint:
the
media
relations
specialist,
the
three
in
blue
those
were
already
existing
staff
with
the
city.
Those
were
being.
Those
folks
were
already
covering
safety
related
Communications
work,
so
they
were
not
adding
new
positions.
They
were
just
centralized
within
the
office
Community
safety,
so
that
was
not
a
conscious
decision
that
was
made
as
far
as
we're
we're
going
to
prioritize
filling
the
X,
these
media
relations,
specialist
positions.
I
First,
that
was
this
an
organic
starting
point,
because
those
resources
were
already
out
there,
so
we
were
just
trying
to
organize
them
and
make
sure
that
they
were
talking
to
each
other,
because,
frankly,
that
was
not
always
the
case.
It's
not
always
the
case,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
Communications
and
community
community
community
relations
are
very
in
sync,
with
each
other,
so
I
do
want
to
make
that
clear.
I
That
outside
of
the
director
of
communications,
also
existed
before
too
so
outside
of
the
aid
to
the
commissioner,
this
director
of
partnership
and
Outreach,
and
the
media
relations
specialist
and
the
chief
of
staff
position.
Those
were
entirely
those
were
positions
that
existed
previously,
that
we
just
moved
into
OCS
because
it
made
sense
and
in
regard
to
planning
for
safety,
Innovation,
building,
complementary
response.
I
I
have
heard
multiple
times
from
this
met.
Several
members
of
this
committee
and
public
health
and
safety
committee
that
we
want
to.
I
We
want
to
prioritize
that
work,
but
we
still
not
yet
received
a
final
report.
Yes,
we've
been
in
conversations,
but
we
I
think
we'd
be
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse.
If
we
said
we're
going
to
dedicate
X,
Y
and
Z
positions
to
this
implementation
work,
this
kind
of
innovation
work.
When
we
don't
know
what
Dr
F
Tilly's
report
is
actually
going
to
require
from
a
staffing
standpoint.
I
That
is,
we
want
to
be
very
purposeful
and
intentional
about
that
and
plan.
Accordingly,.
D
And
I
think
you
just
laid
the
case
of
why
we
need
more
time
versus
having
more
positions
coming
forward.
I
would
like
to
see
us
consider
what
Dr
off
Tilly
is
going
to
bring
forward
and
I.
Think
he's
already
has
in
many
ways
and
previous
reports
that
he's
given
to
this
Council
to
the
mayor's
office,
about
what
a
blueprint
can
look
like
what
are
some
potential
divisions
or
departments
that
could
be
set
up.
That's
reflective
of
that
comprehensive
mandate,
that's
not
being
shown
in
our
current
OCS,
iterations
and
again
I
I
share.
D
It
was
very
disturbing
to
learn
that
our
commissioner
only
knew
that
that
Dr
ortelli
worked
that
comprehensive
work.
He
didn't
know
that
was
part
of
his
job
and
now
we're.
Finally,
you
know
almost
a
year
later
rerouting
the
car
towards
like
less
prioritized
at
work,
which
is
great,
let's
prioritize
it,
and
then
let's
do
the
Staffing
allocations
to
reflect
that.
So
I
just
worry
down
the
you
know
down
in
several
months
when
Dr
R
Kelly
comes
back
with
his
report
and
you
name,
he
comes
with
recommendations
for
these
Staffing
positions.
D
To
get
us
closer
to
that
comprehensive
model.
Then
we're
having
to
do
this
all
over
again
so
I'm
just
saying:
let's
have
that
time
to
be
able
to
have
a
fuller
picture
of
what
is
needed
to
reach
that
goal
around
comprehensive
safety
system
and
then
make
sure
our
staffing
allocations
or
Staffing
positions
is
reflective
of
that.
I
Ahead,
one
very
quick
question:
I
apologize,
I
appreciate
those
points.
Councilmember,
wansley
I
think
you
are
right.
We
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
a
priority.
The
thing
I
would
say
is
this
is
a
one
position
that
we
think
has
great
value
for
the
city
and
FiOS
Community
safety.
The.
What
we're
talking
about
implementing
Dr
Telly's
report
will
likely
take
several
if
not
dozens
of
employees,
and
so
it's
not
just
the
one
I
do
want
to
make
that
very,
very
clear.
Thank.
A
You
I've
we're
gonna,
have
I'm
gonna
call
in
councilman,
revital
and
then
I
think
I
have
an
idea
about
how
we
can
move
forward
on
this
item
that
I'd
like
to
get
feedback
from
my
colleagues
on
so
councilmember
Vita.
C
I
Yes,
this
is
one
of
the
positions
that
Council
moved
over.
It
wasn't
the
director
of
partnership
and
Outreach.
It
was
a
crime
prevention,
a
vacant
crime
prevention
specialist
that
was
moved
from
NCR.
To
the
ask
me,
safety
and
the
budget
process.
C
Okay,
so
we
didn't
lose
the
actual
person
we
just
lost
the
we
move,
the
position
to
a
different
department-
yes,
okay
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
believe
Dr
aftelly
is
going
to
come
to
my
Committee
in
either
June
or
July.
We
met
last
week
until
your
point
Mr
Jeffries.
His
work
is
for
the
entire
Enterprise,
not
one
department,
so
we're
gonna
have,
to
maybe
add
lots
of
positions
throughout
the
entire
city
Enterprise
to
implement
his
plan.
C
I'm
excited
about
him
coming
to
present
and
US
figuring
out
how
I
think
it's
a
great
strategy.
I
think
he
has.
Those
five
points
are
perfect,
but
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
that's
two
different
things.
For
me,
that's
not
this.
This
is
the
position
for
your
department
and
thank
you
so
much
for
clarifying
what
those
three
media
relation
Specialists
are.
There's
two
people
already
there
that
were
in
NPD
that
that
wasn't
made
clear
to
us,
so
that
was
that
was
a
little
yeah.
I
was
nervous
about
that.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Vita,
you
know,
I,
think
I
I
have
an
idea
about
how
we
should
be
moving
forward
and
I
think
that
some
of
this
conversation
is
a
part
of
a
bigger
conversation
around
government
structure.
How
we're
moving
forward
I
mean
the
whole
city
has
been
involved
in
moving
forward
with.
You
know,
changes
to
government
structure
and
with
that
has
come
a
lot
of
reclassifications,
a
lot
of
new
positions.
A
You
know
we.
We
had
a
similar
discussion
around
a
couple
of
positions
within
MPD
a
couple
of
months
ago
and
those
were
you
know.
Those
are
supposed
to
be
positions
that
are
implementing
Public,
Safety,
very
directly.
I
think
you
know
I'm
appreciative
that
we
can
have
this
discussion,
especially
around
a
position
that
won't
be
as
directly
implementing
Public
Safety.
This
is
a
relationships
and
Outreach
position.
A
A
A
Don't
think
that
that
discussion
has
to
happen
at
Council,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
have
at
least
a
little
bit
of
a
refresher
regarding
like
how,
where
we've
been
in
terms
of
government,
restructure
and
and
how
it
relates
to
this
committee
is
how
far
have
we
come?
Where
have
we
been
in
terms
of
new
positions?
Reclassifications,
you
know,
I
know
that
often
these
positions
will
be
described
as
budget
neutral,
they're
budget
neutral,
in
the
sense
that
we're
not
asking
taxpayers
to
take
on
more.
A
I
think
that
that's
you
know
undeniable
here
when
we
see
some
of
the
changes
in
the
pay
steps
that
we've
seen,
and
so
as
a
legislative
body
I'd
like
to
see
us
I
would
like
to
work
with
the
clerks
in
HR
to
put
together
a
presentation
or
a
staff
directive
that
we
could
have
ready
by
this
Thursday
to
bring
to
to
refer
a
presentation,
basically
outline
how
you
know
where
we've
been
in
terms
of
reclassifications
in
the
creation
of
new
positions
and
I'm,
happy
to
work
with
the
clerks
in
HR
on
that
staff,
Direction
and
then
teeing
that
up
for
a
presentation
at
the
next
Pogo
meeting.
A
A
I
think
it
could
be
good
for
us
to
just
compile
that
information
get
a
sense
of
what
we
have
and
that
can
include
this
position
and
I
think
it
will
really
help
put
this
position
in
context
with
how
many
changes
have
we
made
over
the
course
of
the
last
year
as
it
pertains
to
government
structure
and
then
I
would
love.
A
If
some
of
the
questions
that
my
colleagues
have
had
around
timing
around
around
our
understanding
of
what
it
meant
to
move
the
the
crime
prevention
specialist
versus
how
the
department
had
envisioned
the
way
that
they
would
use
that
position,
I
think
is
really
important.
A
Information
for
council
members
to
have
I
know
that
that
was
raised
by
by
two
of
my
colleagues
so
far,
and
so,
and
so
essentially,
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
hold
this
item
in
committee
and
not
take
action
on
this
item
today
and
that
we
would
direct
the
clerks
in
the
nhr
to
help
us
put
together
a
staff
directive
that
we
could
walk,
that
we
could
bring
to
full
Council
on
Thursday
to
get
a
full
sort
of
briefing
an
update
on.
A
You
know
how
far
we've
come
and
where
we
project
we're
going
to
be
going
in
terms
of
free
classifications
and
and
new
positions
with
changes
in
government
structure.
How
does
that
councilmember
Johnson?
Thank.
K
You
Mr
chair,
I,
think
that
that
sounds
great
and
you
know
just
something:
I
want
to
add
about
the
whole
crime
prevention,
specialist
piece,
because
I
helped
lead
the
effort
years
ago
to
move
them
out
of
MPD
and
over
into
NCR,
and
just
to
be
very
blunt.
That
was
because
they
were
not
a
priority
for
the
previous
administration.
They
were
not
being
intentionally
managed,
they
were
not
being
utilized
and
getting
the
attention
that
I
and
many
others
believe
that
they
deserve
and
I
know
that
there
was
resistance
to
that
change.
K
After
the
fact,
I
know
that
there
was
interest
both
amongst
a
number
of
the
cps's
and
within
the
administration
of
seeing
those
roles
move
back.
It
got
added
a
couple
years
later
to
the
mayor's
budget.
This
council
did
not
fight
that
move,
but
I,
and
certainly
the
council
approves
the
budget,
but
I
also
don't
think
that's
the
same
thing
as
the
council.
Having
a
very
intentional
discussion,
saying
hey.
K
This
is
really
something
the
council
wants
to
see
as
these
positions
move
back
for
these
reasons
and
moved
in
this
way
and
here's
the
strategy
around
this.
From
my
recollection,
none
of
that
happened.
It
was
more
well
the
mayor's
budget
as
the
moving
back.
None
of
us
are
going
to
fight
at
this
point
because
we
have
a
new
Chief
coming
in.
We
have
a
new
Chief
or
we
have
a
new
Chief.
Let's
let
the
new
Chief
seems
much
more
energized
around
these
kind
of
issues.
K
Let's
see
if
he
can
add
some
intentional
management
around
that
and
have
it
be
a
new
priority,
so
I
do
want
to
put
that
out
there
as
well,
when
I
hear
about
kind
of
the
council
approved
plan
with
this
I
think
it
was
more.
It
was
the
council
being
willing
to
allow
that
change
to
occur,
but
not
having
a
very
intentional
hey.
This
is
part
of
some
larger
strategy
around
these
and
so
I'd
love
to
hear
more
about
that
strategy.
K
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Johnson
I'll,
see
if
there's
any
other
discussion
from
colleagues
I'll
I'll
check
with
the
clerks
to
see
any
more
direction
from
me
anything
else
you
need
from
me
clear,
Direction,
great
and
and
if
we
are
not
going
to
take
action
on
an
item,
do
we
do
we
need
to
take
a
nothing
needed
so
we're
going
to
hold
that
item
in
committee
and
not
take
action
in
a
month
today,
which
means
it'll,
probably
be
item
one
on
the
next
Pogo
agenda
as
well,
so
won't
need.
A
Obviously
you
know
if
there
are
questions
would
love
to
have.
You
won't
need
a
presentation
at
that
at
that
at
that
time.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
here,
Mr
Jeffrey
used
to
answer
Council
questions
and
really
appreciate
your
time.
G
Mr
chair,
yes,
if
I
could
I
would
just
say,
I
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
you
before
the
meeting
and
I
know
that
you
were
sort
of
headed
in
this
direction,
that
this
was
a
concern
of
yours
in
terms
of
personnel
and
the
one-off
nature
of
coming
to
committee.
So
I
think
it's
great
and,
as
you
noted,
it
is
public
data,
the
actions
that
we
have
taken
and
so
it's
pulling
together.
What
shouldn't
be
too
difficult?
G
I
do
want
to
raise,
though,
that
Ms
Miller,
as
Mr
Jeffries
mentioned
Brenda
Miller,
who
is
the
manager
of
our
classification
and
compensation
unit
in
the
Department
of
Human
Resources,
has
been
out
and
unavailable
and
so
clearly
the
lead
of
the
Enterprise
and
would
want
to
coordinate
our
work
with
her.
G
So
while
we
will
endeavor
very
hard
to
get
this
report
done
and
report
it
at
the
next
meeting,
I
just
want
to
raise
the
caution
that
the
agenda
item
would
be
due
next
Monday,
it's
already
two
or
it's
Monday
now
and
we're
into
a
council
week.
So
it
may
not
be
in
this
next
cycle,
although
we
would
certainly
make
every
effort
also
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
the
office
of
community
safety
has
identified.
This
is
a
high
priority
position
for
them.
A
Thank
you
cleric
Mr,
Clerk
and
and
absolutely
we'll
work
with
you,
you
all
and
the
administration
to
figure
out
what
the
appropriate
timing
is
for
that
presentation.
So
absolutely
with
that,
I
think
I
think
that
we've
concluded
all
business
before
us
and
unless
there
is
any
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourn.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
