J
K
Wonderful
good
evening,
my
name
is
david
peters,
I'm
a
member
of
the
mountain
view
coalition
for
police
reform
and
accountability
or
mv
zebra.
We
would
like
to
thank
the
subcodi
members
and
city
staff
for
their
attention
to
this
critical
issue
and
we
remain
committed
to
working
with
you
and
envisioning
a
more
equitable
future
future
of
public
safety.
In
mountain
view,
since
june
we've
been
calling
for
an
independent
resident-led
task
force
to
review
mvpd's
policy
and
budget.
K
Last
month,
the
los
alto
city
council
voted
5-0
to
create
a
citizen
task
force
to
explore,
discuss
and
make
recommendations
on
the
presence
of
law
enforcement
officers
on
school
campuses
and
the
process
for
handling
complaints
against
officers.
The
council
also
directed
the
city
manager
and
police
chief
to
expedite
the
process
of
collecting
police,
stop
data
under
the
racial
identity
and
profiling
act.
K
L
Hi,
my
name
is
liam,
and
I'm
also
here
on
behalf
of
nbc
prep.
We
want
to
thank
the
mvpd
for
releasing
their
2019
annual
report,
which
will
be
presented
there
tonight
in
july,
2019
mario
melendez
was
dragged
from
his
vehicle
through
the
window
by
officer
benjamin
crutle
and
one
other
officer
after
they
wrongly
suspected
the
car
being
stolen.
As
a
result
of
this
use
of
force,
mr
melendez
was
hit
the
ground,
injuring
his
head
chest
and
left
eye
and
had
to
be
taken
to
the
hospital.
L
The
2019
mvpd
annual
report
identifies
26
uses
of
force,
including
11,
uncontrolled
takedowns,
resulting
in
minor
to
no
injuries.
How
are
minor
injuries
defined
if
mr
melendez's
injuries
could
be
considered
minor
when
he
ended
up
in
the
hospital?
What
would
a
moderate
or
major
injury
look
like
in
february,
the
city
council
rejected
mr
melendez's
claim
that
the
officers
acted
unlawfully
affecting
effectively
taking
ivpd's
side
and
deeming
this
as
an
appropriate
use
of
force.
We're
now
daring
him
to
take
us
to
court.
L
E
Statistics
shared
at
the
last
subcommittee
meeting
so
and
we
feel
like
the
incident
involving
mr
melendez,
is
a
more
specific
example
because
it
was
based
on
a
suspected,
stolen
car,
but
but
no
like
call
in
by
it.
So
we
just
want
to
echo
the
call
made
by
the
subcommittee
members,
the
last
meeting
for
mbpd
to
release
a
map
of
where
these
proactive
policing
calls
take
place,
because
we
already
know
that
proactive
policing
generally
targets
black
and
latinx
people
and
we're
concerned
that
it
might
be
doing
so
in
our
neighborhoods
too.
D
K
D
C
D
Yes,
great,
thank
you
so
much
so
that
passes
unanimously.
Moving
on
to
item
number
five,
our
business
items
we'll
start
with
5.1,
which
is
an
update
and
discussion
of
the
racial
equity
and
justice
deduction
plan.
This
item
includes
four
presentations.
The
first
three
presentations
are
informal
updates
that
the
subcommittee
will
not
take
action
on
the
subcommittee.
K
D
Provide
input
on
stats,
recommended
action
on
item
5.4,
gender,
inclusive,
pronoun,
use
in
city
policies
and
documents.
We
will
begin
with
principal
management,
analyst
melvin
gaines,
providing
an
update
on
the
city's
racial
equity
and
justice
action
plan.
Then
we
will
receive
presentations
on
three
items
related
to
the
racial
equity
and
justice
action
plan.
D
Those
presentations
include
jesse
takahashi,
the
finance
and
administrative
services
department
director
who
will
provide
an
overview
on
equity-based
budgeting
police
chief
max
bozell
will
provide
an
overview
of
mvpd
policing
data
and
mr
gaines
will
rejoin
us
and
give
us
a
presentation
on
gender,
inclusive,
pronoun
use
in
city
policy
and
documents
subcommittee.
Members
will
ask
any
questions
they
have
following
each
of
the
presentations.
D
The
public
comment
period
will
follow
the
conclusion
of
committee
member
questions
of
the
final
presentation
on
gender,
inclusive,
pronoun
use
and
city
policies
and
documents.
So
we
will
do
the
four
topics
and
take
public
comment
after
the
four
topics.
Just
to
put
that
out
there
once
more
and
so
we'd
like
to
start
with
the
update
of
the
action
plan
efforts
mr
gaines
feel
free
to
take
it
away.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
so
I
wanted
to
begin
with
giving
an
update
on
the
city's
progress
towards
the
racial
equity
and
justice
action
plan.
As
you
all
remember,
on
in
august
24th,
I
presented
the
action
plan
and
told
you
about
the
various
different
themes
that
it
has
themes
to
assess
police
practices
and
policies
and
increase
police
accountability.
B
B
Additionally,
members
of
the
hrc
subcommittee
on
race
and
equity
are
having
some
one-on-one
conversations
with
mountain
view:
community
members
who
aren't
able
to
share
electronically
or
were
not
able
to
participate
in
an
event.
The
hrc
will
host
a
report
out
session
on
the
various
different
themes
from
the
listening
forums
and
that
will
be
november
9th
at
6
30
pm.
B
We
anticipate
that
the
recruitment
will
be
wrapped
up
by
the
end
of
this
week
and
the
fellow
will
be
on
board
and
will
begin
helping
us
to
to
fur
formulate
recommendations
that
will
bring
forward
to
these.
The
subcommittee,
including
us,
coming
back
in
november,
to
discuss
police
oversight
models
regarding
recognizing
and
celebrating
mountain
view's
diversity.
The
library
has
a
number
of
events.
One
of
them
will
be
tomorrow.
It's
a
conversation
or
discussion
with
renowned
author
jamya
wilson
and
the
discussion
will
be
on
race,
activism
and
women's
rights.
That's
tomorrow,
at
6
p.m.
B
Later
this
month
the
library
will
be
hosting
a
two-part
series
on
the
neuroscience
of
implicit
bias,
that'll
be
on
october
22nd
and
october
29th.
You
may
view
all
of
these.
You
can
get
more
information
on
each
of
these
activities
and
view
the
calendar
of
events
on
the
city's
website,
particularly
the
racial
equity
and
justice
action
plan
website.
B
Mountainview.Gov
forward,
slash
rej
regarding
assessing
the
city
of
mountain
view,
operations
and
policies
under
an
equity
lens,
we'll
hear
today
from
the
director
of
the
finance
and
administrative
services
department,
providing
an
overview
of
equity-based
budgeting,
we'll
also
hear
about
the
police
department's
budget
and
the
city
continues
to
organize
and
frame
projects,
particularly
around
the
impact
of
historical
zoning
and
land
use,
planning
and
redlining.
We
are
formulating
projects
to
identify
we're
identifying
projects
to
work
toward
that,
and
I
anticipate
providing
some
updates
at
the
next
meeting.
B
Ultimately,
the
racial
equity
and
justice
action
plan
is
a
living
document
that
every
city
involved
every
city
department
has
been
engaged
in.
We
will
continue
to
provide
updates
to
the
community
through
our
website,
social
media
and
other
channels,
as
well
as
provide
updates
to
this
rai
subcommittee
into
the
city
council.
D
B
D
F
How
about
now?
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
members
of
committee
and
members
of
the
public,
I'm
happy
to
provide
this
relatively
brief
overview
of
equity-based
budgeting,
and
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
share
with
you
some
information
on
how
our
budget
process
has
been
put
together
historically
and
some
some
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
to
incorporate
this
new
concept
of
equity-based
budgeting
going
forward.
F
F
So
moving
forward
to
where
we
are
now
in
this
particular
year,
we
are
all
very
much
aware
of
the
recent
national
events
that
have
played
out
over
the
over
the
course
of
the
last
year
or
more.
They
put
a
spotlight
on
some
of
the
social
unrest
and
economic
problems
that
are
confronting
many
communities,
including
mountain
view
in
the
bay
area.
F
F
F
Equity-Based
budgeting
is
used
to
address
racial
disparities
and
enhance
more
favorable
outcomes
in
communities
and
really
it's
the
way
that
it's
achieved
is
by
asking
a
series
of
questions
primarily
how
budget
decisions
affect
communities
of
color
and
lower
income
residents,
and
that
could
be
positively
affected
or
negatively
affected.
So
it
goes
either
way
and
where,
historically,
we
we
may
have
looked
at
other
factors
in
terms
of
whether
something
should
be
added
or
taken
away.
F
This
equity-based
budgeting
now
looks
at
how
it
affects
a
lot
of
these
of
our
communities
of
color
and
lower-income
residents.
So
it
really
focuses
on
on
those
outcomes
to
a
much
greater
degree
and,
of
course,
the
goal
for
doing
this
is
to
enable
full
fuller
participation
in
the
economic
vitality
of
the
city
and
and
to
contribute
to
the
cities
and
the
communities
future
successes.
So
it's
really
meant
to
bring
up
those
that
may
have
felt
or
do
feel
that
they
are
not
a
priority
and
they're
not
getting
the
same.
Equal
treatment.
F
F
F
Our
communities
of
color
and
lower
income
folks,
so
the
equity
lens,
will
really
be
kind
of
this
focal
point
to
ask
and
answer
the
question
before
any
decisions
are
made.
How
is
this
affecting
our
communities
of
color?
Another
principle
is
that
it
be
data-driven,
so
it's
very
important
to
have
objective
data
to
help
support
the
decisions.
F
F
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
educating
so
that
folks
understand
the
process
and
how
it
works,
as
well
as
to
solicit
feedback
and
to
make
sure
that
we
are
listening
to
the
to
the
community
and
addressing
those
those
needs
and
then,
lastly,
being
accountable.
So
of
course
anything
that
we
want
to
do.
We
want
to
be
able
to
be
accountable
to
to
the
community,
and
we
do
this
by
setting
goals
and
measuring
progress
over
a
period
of
time
that
we
can
then
compare
to
see
our
how
we've
been
doing
so.
F
F
F
H
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
jesse.
This
is
an
exciting
concept
and
I'm
eager
to
see
where
it
goes.
So,
just
just
for
for
my
benefit,
does
a
budget
equity
tool
exist
that
you're
planning
to
propose,
or
are
we
creating
one
or
are
we
modifying
an
existing
one?
So
what?
What
exactly?
F
F
H
F
F
You
know,
there's
many
different
areas
throughout
the
city
where
we
can
address,
but
it
would
be
very
difficult.
I
think,
to
you
know,
throw
resources
at
all
of
them
right,
so
we
need
to
start
it
start
out.
Small
focus
on
what
council
determines
would
be
sort
of
the
most
pressing
priorities
and
then
go
from
there.
D
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Vice
mayor
commae,
I
was
just
going
to
add
to
that
that,
in
most
of
the
cities
that
are
using
this
kind
of
tool,
so
the
budget
equity
tool
to
your
question.
The
tool
does
exist
out.
It
is
out
there,
however,
but
what
we
want
to
do
is
really
tailor
it
to
mountain
view.
So
essentially
what
you
said.
The
series
of
questions
that
are
asked
are
things
like:
does
this
program
advance
economic
and
racial
equity
for
residents
in
our
community?
G
So
it's
really
doing
a
deep
dive
and
and
literally
asking
specific
questions
about
programs
that
are
funded
in
the
budget
or
new
positions
or
new
new
new
programs
that
may
be
added,
and
it's
really
looking
at
it
through
that
equity
lens.
So
what
we
wanted
to
do
tonight
was
to
really
just
introduce
this
to
to
the
subcommittee,
because
this
was
something
that
was
raised
by
the
subcommittee,
I
believe
in
our
first
meeting
and
make
sure
that
we
presented
what
the
concept
was,
but
I
really
think
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do
is
distill
down.
G
What's
going
to
work
in
mountain
view,
because
most
all
of
the
cities
that
are
using
this
are
they're
just
some
of
the
largest
cities
in
the
country,
so
we
have
to
figure
out
what's
going
to
work
here
because
a
lot
of
them
as
director
takashi
said
they
have
numerous
staff
and
like
departments
of
equity,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
figure
out
what
works.
We
can
do
it
here,
but
it's
just
figuring
out
what
questions
we
would
be
asking
here.
G
H
Great,
thank
you.
That's
that's
very
helpful
and
then
two
two
additional
quick
questions
where
I
guess
would
the
tool
be
used,
would
it
be
at
the
department
level,
as
they're
submitting
budget
requests
so?
Okay?
So
so
at
the
very
beginning,
and
not
at
like
you
know
the
fasd
or
city
manager
sort
of
they
they
go
to
a
central
hub
and
then
the
central
hub
is
where
the
tool
is
applied
and
then
that's
what
goes
to
council.
So
it
starts
right
at
the
beginning.
G
F
F
Each
department
will
that
will
be
part
of
the
budget
instructions
that
they
would
be
sent
out
so
as
they
are
putting
together
their.
You
know,
request
they're,
going
to
be
evaluating
through
those
that
lens
before
they
submit
it.
Knowing
that,
then,
if
the
city
manager
and
the
budget
review
team
that
will
get
submitted
and
ultimately
to
the
council.
H
Great
okay,
now
that
that's
that's
that's
good
to
know,
thank
you
and
then
the
final
question
is
it
feels
like
the
the
time
frame
is
a
bit
tight
because
we're
we're
gonna
be
starting
the
budget
process
very
soon.
So
you
know-
and
I
appreciate
I
think,
that
the
remarks
earlier
about
starting
small
and
growing
over
time,
how,
how
do
you
envision
incorporating
this
tool
into
year?
One
so
do.
Will
the
council
have
to
approve
a
policy?
H
You
know
over
the
next
several
months
and
then
it'll
it'll
be
deployed
in
kind
of
a
limited
way
towards
the
end
in
year.
One
or
are
you
envisioning,
coming
to
council
with
a
fleshed
out
proposal?
You
know
in
just
the
next
month
or
two
that
we
can
then
deploy.
You
know
moving
forward.
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
how,
when
precisely
we'll,
be
able
to
incorporate
the
tool
into
this
up
into
this
coming
budget
process?.
F
Well,
I
think
a
lot
will
depend
upon
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
that
are
going
on
right
now.
Obviously,
we
also
have
an
election,
and
so
that
will
also
kind
of
change
the
mix
potentially
of
of
the
council,
but
we
also
are
trying
to
incorporate
a
strategic
visioning
process
into
that,
and
so
a
lot
of
this
is
again
to
come
up
with
what
are
the
the
priorities
we,
you
know-
and
I
think
the
city
manager
may
may
want
to
add
the
specific
time
frame.
F
If,
if,
if
there
is
that
right
now,
we
don't
have
a
step-by-step
time.
You
know,
month
by
month,
schedule
that
we
have,
but
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
at
least
get
the
concept
approved
so
that
we
can
then
start
putting
more
concrete
steps
in
place
to
try
to
build
that
structure
and
how
it
would
look.
G
Yeah
and
council
remember
ramirez.
I
would
just
add
that,
because
this
is
something
that
is
just
so
recent
that
this
is
a
concept
that
that
just
came
to
us,
and
so
we
didn't
want
to
not
do
anything,
because
we
believe
it's
really
important.
So
we
think
that
what
we
can
begin
to
do
in
this
first
year
of
doing
it
is
really
assess
what
questions
we
could
be
asking.
G
What
does
the
budget
equity
tool
even
mean
in
mountain
view,
and
also
really
thinking
of
the
community
engagement
component
of
it,
because
that's
something
that
we
can
certainly
make
more
robust?
So,
as
jesse
mentioned,
the
budget
101
workshop
the
goal
setting
and
visioning
process,
which
is
something
we
haven't
done
for
a
really
long
time.
G
The
biggest
example
of
ramping
up
our
efforts
would
be
the
data
collection
piece
because
right
right
now,
when
you
even
think
about
starting
a
whole
process
of
an
equity-based
budget,
data
collection
is
really
important
like
what
jesse
mentioned.
So
we
have
to
even
start
that,
and
we
have
to
think
what
sort
of
data
should
we
be
collecting?
What
sort
of
data
is
going
to
help
us
inform
our
decisions?
G
So
this
right
now
is
just
kind
of
the
start
of
this
process.
So
what
we
intend
to
do
is
come
back
to
council
in
november,
with
more
concrete,
like
the
questions
that
that
we
would
be
having
the
departments
look
at
and
then
think
through
the
next
steps,
which
would
involve
the
budget.
101
workshop
enhance
community
engagement,
the
the
planning
and
goal
setting
process,
which
we
have
done
normally,
but
will
look
different
next
time
around.
So
we
don't
have
every
single
thing
nailed
down
with
equity-based
budgeting.
G
C
Thank
you.
A
lot
of
my
questions
were
already
answered,
but
I
wanted
to
dive
a
little
deeper
on
the
issue
of
the
questions
to
be
asked
or
what
our
goals
are,
and
that
was
my
first
question
when
I
read
the
staff
report
is:
how
do
we
decide
what
our
measurable
goals
are
going
to
be
and
and
relative
to
community
engagement?
So
is
the
thought:
do
we
go
out
to
the
community
to
hear
from
the
public
what
their
goals
are?
G
Yeah,
I
think
that
the
biggest
thing
for
us,
starting
because
we're
just
starting
on
this
now
so
it's
not
like
we
have
a
year
to
plan.
I
think
the
community
engagement
piece
is
really
going
to
be
part
of
the
visioning
and
goal
setting
process
too,
because
we
need
to
think
about
the
next
year
or
two.
G
So
I
see
that
being
part
of
it.
The
questions
that
we
would
be
asking
of
the
departments
will
really
be
built
into
the
budget
development
process.
So
that's
not
necessarily
something
that's
going
to
come
next
year.
That's
going
to
be
what
we're
going
to
present
to
council
in
november,
with
the
suggested
lens
that
we
look
through
the
data
piece.
G
I
think
we
need
more
time
to
develop
what
those
data
sets
might
be,
so
what
it
is
we're
going
to
even
be
looking
at,
and
this
is
something
that's
going
to
take
more
time
than
just
you
know
the
month
or
so
that
we've
had
to
to
even
you
know
kind
of
think
through
it.
But
it's
really
thinking
about
dashboards,
it's
thinking
about
how
we're
serving
our
community
members
and
the
different
communities
of
color.
So
I
I
can't
say
that
we
have
all
of
the
answers
right
now.
G
C
Great
and
earlier
this
year
the
actually
the
three
of
us
signed
on
to
the
a
pledge
that
was
organized
by
the
county
board
of
supervisors
and
two
members
of
the
san
jose
city
council.
It
was
to
look
at
budgeting
from
an
equity
lens,
and
so,
in
light
of
it's
melvin,
you
mentioned
san
jose.
Has
this
or
do
they
have
they
engaged
in
this
process
already
or
are
they
also
beginning
the
process?
C
G
Okay,
thank
you
vice
mayor
and
mayor,
so
I
would
add
that
the
equity-based
budget
concept
and
process
is
a
lot
easier
to
do
when
you're
in
a
budget
building
situation.
So
when
a
city
finds
themselves
in
a
situation
where
they
are
having
to
make
service
level
reductions,
it
is
it's
much
harder
to
employ
this
full
tool
when
you're,
basically
making
reductions
across
the
board,
so
you're
still
going
to
look
at
it
through
that
lens,
but
it's
it's
just
much
harder
to
do
when
there's
city-wide
impacts.
G
So
from
what
I
understand
and
council
remember
ramirez,
you
can
certainly
speak
to
this,
probably
much
better
than
I
can,
but
the
city
of
san
jose
did
go
through
the
effort
and
this
was
prior
to
covid
and
then
once
covet
hit,
and
there
are
certainly
budget
impacts.
The
budget
was
reassessed,
and
so
I
think
that's
really
what's
happened,
and
it's
also
why
starting
small
is
good
for
us
in
mountain
view,
because
there
aren't
a
lot
of
examples
that
actually
have
a
lot
of
time
behind
them
of
how
equity-based
budget
has
worked.
G
As
mr
gaines
said,
this
is
something
that's
really
only
just
a
few
years
old,
so
just
in
terms
of
san
jose,
they
certainly
have
the
model
they
have
the
framework
as
the
san
antonio
and
a
bunch
of
other
cities.
So
we
do
have
a
framework,
and
we
have
great
examples
of
questions
that
were
asked
so
we're
not
starting
from
scratch.
In
that
way,
it's
just
tailoring
it
to
mountain
view.
H
Oh
yeah,
yes,
I
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
great
start.
I
won't
claim
to
be
an
expert
on
on
san
jose's
process,
but
if
it's
helpful,
I'm
happy
to
forward
some
of
the
the
the
documentation
that
was
produced
in
the
lead-up
to
the
approval-
and
I
think
there's
there's
certainly
a
lot.
We
can
learn
from
them,
but
I
think
you
know
there's
also
a
lot
to
be
said
about.
We
have
limited
staff
capacity
and
it's
it's
not
not
a
trivial
thing
to
introduce
this
overnight.
H
C
I
don't
know
what
the
acronym
is,
but
it's
on
equity
and
inclusion,
and
it
sounds
like
they've
done
quite
a
bit
of
work
nationwide
and
they
have
staff
technical
staff
who
can
assist
so
it
might
be
worth
checking
in
with
the
nlc
folks
to
see
if
they
might
have
some
some
materials
and
and
can
offer
some
assistance
for
us
to
get
this
kicked
off.
But
I
do
appreciate
your
follow-up
and
this
is
really
important
and
I
look
forward
to
getting
it
going
thanks.
D
Great
thank
you
mayor,
so
I
don't
have
any
questions
myself
since
I
know
that
I've
been
talking
about
equity-based
budgeting
for
a
while
and
thanks
mayor
for
bringing
up
the
national
league
of
cities.
They
did
quite
a
bit
of
workshops
last
year
discussing
this,
so
the
only
the
the
points
I'd
like
to
highlight
are
you
know.
I
appreciate
that
staff
is
putting
this
out
on
our
website
and
that
this
will
be
a
public
process
as
well
as
proactively
communicating
as
well
as
soliciting
community
engagement.
D
I
think
that's
really
critical
as
we're
formulating
both
our
principles
and
the
questions
that
we're
asking
I'd
also
like
to
perhaps
find
a
way
to
incorporate
language
access
into
our
questions
or
perhaps
scoping
it
so
that
the
public
knows
not
only
are
we
going
to
be
actively
soliciting
their
engagement,
but
that
we
will
be
trying
to
do
that
in
multiple
languages.
So
I
think
that
that
would
be
really
important
part
of
the
process.
D
J
H
I
want
to
very
strongly
second,
what
sharokina
may
just
said
about
language
access
and
making
sure
that
that
the
the
compute
the
community
outreach
component
is
is
integral
to
the
whole
process.
One
of
the
things
that
that
we
talked
about
in
the
city
of
san
jose
was
data
driven,
can
be
a
little
misleading,
because
what
you,
what
we
found
is
where
a
lot
of
the
data
comes
from
in
reports
from
constituents
comes
from
areas
that
are
very
engaged
right.
H
So,
council,
district,
6,
council,
district,
10
areas
where
you
have
more
you
know
affluent
folks.
People
who
you
know
are
are
familiar
with
government.
A
lot
of
the
data
comes
from
them
because
they're,
the
ones
who
are
reporting
what's
going
on,
and
so
that
kind
of
leads
to
a
skewed
outcome
in
sort
of
the
presentation
of
where
the
challenges
are
and
underrepresented.
Communities
where
there
are
very
real
problems,
aren't
as
represented,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
don't
speak
english
or
a
lot
of
folks
who
aren't
familiar
with
government.
H
So
I
I
I
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
cheer
for
me,
because
that's
that's!
That's
how
you
make
this
work
is
not
just
by
listening
to
the
folks
who
are
reaching
out
to
us
now,
but
also
finding
a
way
to
get
information
about
those
areas
or
those
communities
that
historically
have
not
been
engaged
or
can't
engage,
because
the
the
way
we
operate
government
doesn't
allow
them
to
participate
right
now.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
D
Great
no
problem-
and
you
know
I
think
it's
also
recognizing
that
perhaps
the
traditional
ways
of
you
know
holding
meetings
is
not
necessarily
the
way
to
get
that
engagement,
that
we
can
move
to
online
or
kind
of
other
other
ways.
We've
also
been
trying
to
do
kind
of
anonymous
feedback
right,
so
just
kind
of
making
sure
that
we're
doing
all
the
all
the
kind
of
suite
of
different
options
to
make
sure
we
are
kind
of
as
broad
as
possible,
all
right.
Chief,
sorry
about.
I
That
okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
While
melvin
assists
me
and
gets
the
slides
going
I'll
start
off
by
saying
that
this
normally
two
hour
presentation
will
be
done
in
about
20
minutes.
I
am
under
a
little
bit
more
pressure
today
because
my
colleague
the
finance
administrative
services
director,
is
on
the
meeting
with
me.
So
I
hope
to
make
him
proud
with
my
budget
presentation
for
the
mountain
view,
police
department,
so
we'll
start
with
the
second
slide
now
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
general
fund,
the
general
operating
fund.
I
I
Next
slide,
please
the
budget's
broken
up
into
really
two
broad
categories:
personnel
and
non-personnel
costs.
The
majority,
like
all
city
services,
is
provided
by
people
and
that's
represented
by
the
91
of
expenditures
related
to
total
compensation,
salary
wages
and
benefits
and
non-personnel
services,
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
little
more
detail.
I
During
the
presentation
we
have
144.5
full-time
equivalents,
an
fte,
an
ftes
2080
hours
of
scheduled
time.
They
could
be
off
for
a
variety
of
reasons
for
various
leaves.
We
don't
cut
that
half
person
in
half
it's
just
a
way
of
calculating
a
part-time
employee
and
of
those
144.5
97
are
sworn
and
roughly
47.5
are
professional
non-sworn.
We
have
hourly
employees
as
well
that
comprise
wages,
but
that's
the
budgeted,
full-time
positions
next
slide.
Please.
I
I
The
overall
staffing
numbers
per
capita
have
decreased
from
one
to
five
to
nine,
to
one
position
for
every
five
569
residents
next
slide,
please
the
non-personnel
services
expenditures,
training
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
bit
in
a
minute
the
others
here,
some
broad
categories
in
which
it's
comprised
of
equipment
and
systems
and
services
not
provided
by
employees
directly.
So,
for
example,
our
officer
warren
camera
system,
the
crossing
guard
system
or
crossing
guard
contract,
rather,
which
represents
about
150
000
per
year.
Animal
control
is
about
half
a
million.
I
I
This
represents
just
a
snapshot
of
our
training
for
your
awareness
training
hours
within
our
training
budget,
which
is
150
000
roughly
per
year,
and
that
is
non-personnel
costs.
That
would
be
what
pays
for
tuition
and
travel
and
the
complexity
of
this
to
try
to
keep
it
simple
is
some
training
does
cost
us
money,
others
it's
already
paid
for
through
other
sources,
we
do
have
post
reimbursement,
that's
available
to
us.
I
That's
not
reflected
directly
in
the
budget,
but
the
state
does
reimburse
some
training
and
we
focus
on
what's
called
cpt
or
continued
professional
training,
it's
mandated
over
two
years
by
the
state
to
be
24
hours.
We
go
for
about
120
hours
over
that
two-year
cycle.
We
schedule
60
hours
each
year
for
officers,
our
entry
level
staff
when
they
go
to
the
academy
and
they're,
not
laterally
trained
meaning
they
come
from
another
agency.
I
They
complete
an
academy
at
about
almost
890
hours,
another
about
a
thousand
hours
of
field
training,
depending
on
their
performance
and
an
additional
15
to
20
hours
of
cpt.
Over
that
time,
on
the
right
hand,
column,
you
see
a
detected
position.
This
particular
one
is
just
a
snapshot
of
our
child
crimes,
detective
assigned
out
of
our
crimes
against
persons
unit.
So
in
addition
to
our
regular
ongoing
cpt
training,
as
I've
described
their
specialized
training,
everything
from
basic
investigations,
the
ici
core
course
you
see
there
is
the
institute
for
criminal
investigations.
I
The
ois
is
an
officer-involved
shooting
and
forced
investigations
course.
This
particular
detective
would
contribute
to
a
part
of
the
investigation,
along
with
the
district
attorney's
office
and
now
the
potentially
the
attorney
general's
office,
a
homicide
course
as
an
example.
So
in
july
we
had
a
incident
involving
a
tragic
death
of
an
eight-month-old.
I
Our
detectives
were
involved
in
the
investigation
of
that
particular
homicide.
It
actually
occurred
in
san
jose.
So
it's
not
a
statistic
we
report,
but
our
detectives
were
fully
involved
in
that
investigation
from
start
to
finish
next
slide.
Please
there's
been
a
lot
of
question
and
discussion
about
our
crisis
intervention
and
de-escalation
training.
We've
talked
a
little
bit
about
that,
but
just
to
provide
you
an
overview,
we
do
have
really
an
integrated
approach,
not
just
one
class
that
involves
de-escalation.
I
I
That's
a
part
of
our
arrest
and
control
tactics
that
we
train
on,
and
you
know
a
high-profile
example
of
this
would
be
the
mr
jose
ospina's
or
I'm
sorry,
his
tragic
death
on
the
foot.
Steps
of
our
performing
arts
center,
in
which
he
was
killed
and
officers
encountered
the
suspect
and
they
were
involved
in
a
very
violent
struggle,
really
fighting
for
their
own
lives.
I
I
This
highlights
our
expenditures
by
division.
We
have
four
divisions
within
the
department.
I
will
talk
more
about
special
operations
and
field
operations,
administration
as
the
office
of
the
police
chief,
along
with
clerical
support
and
some
professional
staff.
We
provide
support
for
the
fire
department
as
well.
So
it's
a
shared
service.
I
Our
field
operations
division,
which
is
really
the
backbone.
This
represents
just
over
half
of
the
resources
that
we
deploy.
We
provide
24
7
365
coverage,
as
they
say,
and
this
is
the
patrol
officers
as
well
as
our
traffic
unit.
We
have
what's
called
collateral
assignments,
they're,
not
full-time
positions.
There
are
officers
that
are
trained
and
assigned
to
teams
such
as
our
tactical
team
crisis,
negotiations,
intervention,
our
field,
training
officers
and
our
canine
unit.
So
just
for
distinction
and
awareness
for
crisis
negotiations.
I
I
The
crisis
intervention
portion
of
it
emphasizes
more,
not
the
negotiations
from
a
perspective
of
like
a
barricaded
subject,
but
a
critical
incident
or
an
incident
that
requires
de-escalation.
So
an
example
of
this
would
be
on
the
outset
of
the
pandemic.
We
had
a
man
with
a
knife
out
in
front
of
a
local
business
officers,
responded
out,
they
were
able
to
contain
him,
isolate
the
individual,
take
him
into
custody
and
disarm
him
through
their
crisis.
Intervention
training
next
slide,
please.
I
So,
let's
take
a
closer
look
at
our
field
operations
deployments
next
slide.
We
have
our
traffic
unit,
which
represents
about
two
million
dollars
of
resources,
one
one
sergeant
five
officers
that
are
assigned
four
currently
staffed,
and
this
also
includes
the
budgeted
items
of
our
crossing
guards
that
are
within
this
particular
program
and
they
focused
on
on
traffic
safety,
as
well
as
managing
our
diversion
program
for
young
drivers,
so
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
go
through
education
as
opposed
to
the
court
system.
I
They
are
actively
involved
in
our
major
collision
investigations
as
well
as
even
community
engagement
activities
and
not
all
things,
traffic
or
all
traffic.
For
example,
last
month
we
had
a
injury
collision
that
the
driver
of
a
vehicle
who
fled
from
the
paramedics,
who
was
then
detained
by
officers
and
brought
back
for
medical
treatment,
was
actually
in
possession
of
a
stolen
vehicle
and
stolen
property
in
that
vehicle.
So
what
they
encounter
is
not
necessarily
just
the
fender
bender,
but
everything
from
something
simple
like
that
to
something
more
complex,
all
the
way
to
our
fatal
collisions.
I
Please
our
department
handles
roughly
36
000
calls
per
year
and
you
can
see
the
breakdown
by
day
of
kind
of
the
categories
of
citations.
Crime
reported
the
arrests,
the
dispatch
calls
for
service
and
the
reports
taken.
So
in
our
calls
for
service,
we
make
a
distinction
between
what's
officer,
initiated
and
what's
dispatched
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
as
we
progress
through
through
the
presentation
next
slide,
please
in
our
activity,
you
can
see
that
we
break
the
city
down
into
four
geographical
areas.
We
call
these
beats.
I
We
assign
officers
to
these
beats
they're,
primarily
responsible
for
patrolling
and
answering
calls
for
service.
They
don't
necessarily
stay
within
the
confines
of
those
boundaries
because
they
do
assist
other
officers
across
beat
lines,
but
the
demarcation
is
the
central
expressway
as
well
as
shoreline
miramani,
and
then
the
city
borders
beat
one
is
to
our
southeast
b2
or
our
northwest
and
then
beat
three
or
I'm
sorry
southwest
our
northwest
beat
is
beat
3
and
our
northeast
beat
is
beat
4..
I
You
can
see
the
general
breakdown
of
calls
based
both
on
officer
initiated
and
also
on
dispatch
calls
for
service.
One
thing
that
we
do
as
a
part
of
budgeting
and
deploying
resources
which
tends
to
get
complex
is
ensuring
that
we
have
response
times
that
meet
the
demands
and
expectations
of
the
community.
So
we
do
track
our
response
times.
We
do
an
emergency
and
priority
one
calls
about
57
percent
of
the
time
have
a
response
time
of
four
minutes
or
less.
Our
average
response
time
for
calls
for
service
generally
is
about
16
minutes.
I
Under
crime
trends,
we
have
what
we
call
reported
crimes
of
part,
one
and
part
two
and
part
one
is
what
the
uniform
crime
reporting
or
the
fbi
receives
from
us.
That's
compared
nationally
with
other
agencies
that
participate,
and
that
makes
up
just
almost
half
of
the
5
000,
roughly
reported
crimes
that
we
take
on
an
annual
basis
and
the
part
2
crimes
are
all
crimes
other
than
part
one
which
you
can
see
on.
The
slide
represents
homicide
robbery,
rape,
aggravated
assault,
burglary,
larceny,
motor
vehicle
theft
and
arson.
I
I
Next
slide,
our
mental
health
related
calls
they
are,
are
comprised
about
two
percent,
just
under
two
percent
of
our
total
calls
for
service,
so
we
categorize
our
mental
health
calls
based
on
what's
called
psychological
holds.
This
is
what's
5150
of
the
welfare
and
institutions
code.
If
an
individual
is
a
danger
to
themselves
a
danger
to
others
or
who
are
gravely
disabled,
they
could
be
placed
on
a
hold
and
then
taken
to
a
facility
for
further
treatment.
I
You
know
example
of
this.
Just
yesterday
on
the
radio
I
heard
a
person
call
us
and
request
to
talk
to
an
officer
because
they
were
suffering
from
post-traumatic
stress
and
they
felt
like
they
might
be
wanting
to
harm
themselves,
so
they
wanted
to
talk
to
an
officer
and
put
them
on
a
hold
and
take
them
to
environment,
behavioral
services
for
treatment,
suicidal
calls.
These
are
calls
that
either
involve
someone
who's
committed,
suicide
or
who's
attempted
suicide.
It's
a
higher
degree
of
violence,
act
or
injurious
act
than
a
psychological
hold.
I
An
example
of
this
would
be
earlier.
This
year
we
were
called
to
the
lobby
of
an
apartment.
Complex.
A
man
was
stabbing
himself
with
scissors
and
a
knife
and
officers
arrived
on
scene
de-escalated
got
the
man
treatment
and
then
put
him
on
a
hold.
That
would
be
classified
as
an
attempted
suicide.
A
little
bit
more
severe
and
of
a
serious
nature
than
a
psychological
hold.
I
The
various
calls
involving
mental
health
are,
when
officers
make
a
notation
in
the
call
that
there
was
a
mental
health
component
to
the
call,
but
it's
not
typed
as
a
mental
health,
call
like
a
psychological
hold
or
a
suicide
or
attempt
suicide
and
an
example
of
that
could
be.
For
example,
we
were
out
with
a
lady
who
was
walking
around
with
a
hospital
gown.
I
She
did
not
meet
the
criteria
of
being
gravely
disabled
or
being
a
danger
to
him
to
herself
or
others.
So,
officers
obtained
clothing
for
this
person
brought
her
to
a
clothing
store
and
then
brought
her
to
a
community-based
organization
for
services.
That
a
welfare
check
would
make
a
notation
the
potential
mental
health
issues
there.
I
Another
example
would
be.
We
were
called
out
downtown
to
an
individual
who
was
vandalizing
a
food
delivery
robot.
When
officers
arrived
on
scene,
he
threw
his
bicycle
at
a
patrol
car
when
they
tried
to
contact
him.
He
punched
the
officer
the
individual
was
arrested
for
a
variety
of
charges.
You
would
not
necessarily
capture
that
as
a
potential
mental
health
issue,
but
the
officer
would
indicate
in
the
call
for
service
that
there
was
a
potential
mental
health
component
to
that.
I
I
Those
individuals
investigate
the
more
complex
crimes
involving
things
like
a
homicide
aggravated
assault
domestic
violence,
child
abuse,
notably
earlier
this
year
they
were
involved
in
the
2004
rape
of
a
victim
in
town
in
which
we
had
a
dna
hit
and
extradited.
The
suspect
from
new
mexico
they've
also
been
involved
in
a
number
of
cases
like
the
one
I
mentioned
in
july,
involving
the
infant
as
well
as
a
serious
domestic
violence
that
occurred
just
a
few
weeks
ago.
Our
crime
suppression
unit
is
the
unit
that
handles
our
property
crimes,
they're
the
ones
that
are
involved.
I
When
you
hear
about
us,
interdicting,
more
prolific,
vehicle,
auto
burglars,
larger
cases
involving
male
theft
rings.
They
also
are
involved
in
dangerous
narcotics,
such
as
you
see
photo
the
poppy
plants
that
were
seized,
one
of
the
largest
seizures
in
the
state
of
california.
A
poppy
plants
originated
from
a
member
of
the
public,
informing
the
detectives
who
then
conducted
the
investigation.
I
We
have
a
cyber
crimes
unit
financial
crimes
unit.
This
was
stood
up
a
few
years
ago
to
really
provide
essential
digital
and
forensic
evidence.
Services
directly
to
us
in
a
timely
manner.
They've
been
involved
in
such
cases
as
a
10-year
stalking
case
involving
a
high
school
classmate
of
the
victim
who
over
10
years,
was
stalking
her.
They
were
able
to
solve
that
case.
I
They've
also
been
involved
in
a
number
of
cases
involving
child
pornography
working
closely
with
the
task
force
for
internet
crimes
against
children,
as
well
as
our
us
secret
service
and
the
local
high
tech
task
force
our
neighborhood
and
event
services
unit.
This
was
stood
up
to
provide
what
we
wanted
to
be
a
holistic
approach
to
dealing
with
our
homeless
and
assisting
crime
issues
related
to
those
who
are
living
in
vehicles
rather
than
a
patrol
officer
getting
dispatched
out
to
a
problem
in
a
neighborhood
involving
an
rv.
I
Let's
say
we
have
a
dedicated
resource
in
which
the
officer
has
developed
contacts
or
relationships
with
folks
and
can
also
provide
reference
to
community-based
organizations.
If
we
have
issues
of
drug
addiction,
they've
worked
closely
with
the
drug
court
for
diversion
and
trying
to
work
to
get
people
in
diversion
as
opposed
to
criminal
prosecution.
I
I
I
Folks
who
take
on
donations
rather
than
the
police
department
to
provide
cops
and
gobblers,
which
is
the
thanksgiving
turkey
giveaway
to
needy
families,
as
well
as
cops
that
care,
which
is
the
holiday
gift,
program,
dreams
and
futures
and
pal,
are
our
staple
youth
programs.
We
have
mentoring
boxing
as
well
as
our
summer
camp
program
for
at-risk
youth,
that
we
work
closely
with
the
school
districts
to
provide
those
services
to
especially
needy
kids.
I
We
are,
as
I
mentioned,
with
the
records
management
system
engaged
with
los
altos,
as
well
as
palo
alto
and
the
three
city
cad
and
rms
project.
We're
finalizing
those
agreements
just
had
a
meeting
this
morning
and
very
optimistic
we're
going
to
get
underway
and
be
able
to
upgrade
our
cad
system
that
will
allow
us
to
be
early
on
capturing
the
racial
identity.
I
Profiling
act,
data
that
we're
not
required
to
start
collecting
until
2022,
but
we'll
be
able
to
get
that
off
early
with
the
upgraded
cad,
as
well
as
upgrading
our
records
management
system
with
the
other
two
cities,
and
then
we're
also
evaluating
community
partnerships
and
how
we
can
continue
our
engagement
programs
as
well
as
enhance
them
going
into
the
future.
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
H
Thanks
cheer,
I
have
just
a
few,
so
one
of
the
questions
that
we've
gotten
fairly
often
from
the
community
is
how
how
does
our
mbpd
budget
compare
with
similarly
sized
cities?
And
I
don't
know
if
you
would
have
that
information
off
hand,
but
are
we
sort
of
similar
to
or
do
we
spend
more
than
or
less
than
comparable
cities.
I
So
I
I
don't
have
that
analysis,
but
I
will
just
reflect
that,
for
example,
our
personal
costs.
You
know
as
you're
aware
when
you
get
reports
from
human
resources
during
labor
negotiations,
of
where
we
tend
to
compete
with
other
jurisdictions
locally
and
how
that
compares
and
we're
not
the
highest,
we're,
not
the
lowest.
I
The
apples
and
oranges.
Comparison
with
these
budgets
is
some
cities
budget
differently.
So,
for
example,
los
altos,
I
believe
fire
department
which
is
contracted
through
county
fire,
is
a
part
of
the
police
department's
budget.
We
have
911
emergency
dispatching
in
our
budget.
Some
cities
may
not
so
it's
difficult
to
really
do
an
apples-to-apples
comparison
without
a
real,
complex
analysis
of
each
city's
budget
for
public
safety.
H
That
that's
that's
helpful.
I
I
have
a
suspicion
that
that's
something
that's
going
to
continue
to
come
up
and
I
I
don't
have
a
full
appreciation
for
how
complex
that
analysis
might
be,
but
to
the
extent
it's
helpful
in
our
work,
it
might
be
something
that
we
may
we
may
wish
to
do,
but
I,
I
guess
I'll
I'll
leave
that
to
to
the
other
members
of
the
committee
to
see
if
there's
interest
in
exploring
that
it
may
not
have
value,
I'm
not
really
sure
and
then
so,
animal
control
and
crossing
guards.
I
I
think,
logically,
traditionally,
police
departments
have,
over
their
historical
kind
of
growth,
often
operated
animal
services.
We
have
a
badge
here
in
our
in
our
museum.
That's
called
pound
master
for
someone
who
is
responsible
for
the
the
dog
pound
and
I
think,
just
over
time.
It's
retained
within
the
police
department's
budget,
even
though
it's
provided
by
a
contract
service
through
a
jpa.
J
H
Notice
that
beat
one
has
more
activity
than
the
other
three
beats.
I'm
I'm
guessing
that.
That's
because
downtown
falls
within
beat
one.
Is
that
fair
to
say
do
you
does
mvpd
have
or
could
could
a
heat
map
be
produced?
That
shows
where
the
concentration
of
active
activity
tends
to
occur
within
each
beat.
I.
H
F
I
H
I
I
appreciate
that
I'm
guessing
my
music
degree
may
not
be
terribly
helpful,
but
I'll
consider
your
offer,
and
then
I
I'm
guessing
this.
This
is
probably
going
to
occur
down
the
road
as
well,
but
you
know
I
was
thinking
about
if,
if
part
of
the
objective
is
to
figure
out
what
responsibilities
mbpd
should
have
some
of
these
things,
I
think,
may
maybe
totally
appropriate
others.
I
think
we
might
have.
H
We
might
have
an
interesting
discussion,
so
you
know
I
don't
want
to
talk
about
my
day
job
too
much,
but
animal
control,
for
instance
in
san
jose
falls
under
public
works
and
the
vehicle
abatement
is,
you
know,
department
of
transportation,
and
there
may
be
some.
There
may
be
very
valid
reasons
why
those
are
mbpd
functions
that
I'm
not
thinking
about,
but
is
that
is
that
part
of
the
analysis
that
you're
doing
to
with
the
alternative
service
models
that
you're
looking
at
or
is
that
something
that
we
should
provide
direction
on
today?.
I
The
alternative
service
models
are
more
around
mental
health
response.
Animal
control
has
not
been
a
part
of
that.
We
do
have
community
services
officers
that
after
hours,
because
we
do
not
have
a
24
7
animal
control
service
provider-
and
we
do
have
also
here
at
the
police
department,
a
dog
kennel
for
dogs
that
are
at
large
that
are
located
and
and
found
after
hours.
So
we're
not
looking
at
that
at
the
moment,
but
you
know,
certainly,
if
that's
council's
direction,
the
city
manager's
correction,
we
could.
H
Those
are
small
things,
but
you
know,
I
think,
part
of
the
objective.
Maybe
you
know
what
are
our
priorities
for
mvpd?
You
know
what
does
what
is
the
future
of
law
enforcement
and
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
it
kind
of
feels
a
bit
like
there's
sort
of
a
hodgepodge
of
things
that
you
know?
Maybe
we
we
could
rethink.
I
don't
think
these
are
the
top
priorities
for
anybody,
but,
as
I
saw
them
listed,
it
occurred
to
me
that
you
know
maybe
we
can.
H
We
can
reflect
on
really
what
is
it
that
you
should
be
focusing
on?
You
know
what
are
the
community
priorities
for
mvpd
and
you
know
I
I
don't
know
exactly
how
to
provide
that
direction,
but
I'd
be
interested
in
hearing
from
my
colleagues
about
you
know
how?
How
do
we
approach
this
in
a
way
that
makes
sense
and
really
reflects
the
values
of
the
community?
That's
all
I've
got.
Thank
you,
chair.
C
Thank
you.
It's
just
a
small
question
that,
in
terms
of
crossing
guards,
do
we
the
city
pays
for
the
crossing
guards.
Is
that
correct,
correct
and
then,
although
I've
heard,
I
think,
los
angeles,
where
we
share
some
schools,
they
do.
They
do.
Does
the
city
of
los
angeles
be
for
theirs
or
is
it
the
school
district,
or
I
heard.
D
I
I
I
believe
los
altos
police
has
within
their
budget
crossing
guards.
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
full
compensation
for
services
under
the
contract,
whereas
here
we
do
that,
we
we
provide
the
eight.
It
may
be
nine
now
with
vargas
online,
but
we
do
provide
the
contract
services
for
the
co
for
full
compensation
for
the
contract
for
the
school
crossing.
D
D
I
think
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
do
a
little
bit
more
in
terms
of
noting
where
the
data
is
coming
from,
so
whether
that
data
is
coming
from
the
police
department,
or
I
know
on
page
seven
of
the
annual
report.
It
says
it's
noted
from
the
census
data
I'm
assuming
that's
the
2020
census,
and
then
you
know
on
page
nine,
I'm
assuming
that
this
this
for
the
trends
is
coming
from
pd
data.
D
D
I
would
assume
that
it's
the
most
recent
data,
but
I
I
think
that
could
be
helpful
in
terms
of
kind
of
understanding,
the
the
full
scope
of
of
what
we're
reading
and
the
numbers
and
as
we're
kind
of
discussing
data
you
know
earlier
on
during
the
presentations.
I
think
that
it
would
be
really
helpful
and
then
maybe
being
able
to
note,
is
this
kind
of
a
self-reported
data
as
well,
or
is
it
kind
of
the
the
visual
assessment
that
I
know
sometimes
occurs?
D
So
I
think,
just
kind
of
a
a
little
bit
more
would
be
a
request
that
I
have
versus
a
question.
So
hopefully
I
know
that
these
are
these.
Three
presentations
are
supposed
to
be
informational,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
put
that
out.
There
do
subcommittee
members
have
anything
else
to
add
on
on
this
item.
D
B
Hello
again,
I'm
I'm
going
to
try
to
be
very
brief,
because
I
know
we're
6
30
and
we
want
to
allow
public
comment
so
two-minute
presentation.
If
that's
all
right
with
you,
the
city
of
mountain
view
does
not
have
an
official
or
explicit
policy
about
pronoun
use
and
city
policies
and
other
official
documents.
So
typically,
the
city
uses
variations
of
he.
She
his
hers
him
her.
When
a
non-gender-specific
pronoun
is
needed.
B
In
its
recent
update
to
library
policies,
the
library
board
discussed
replacing
such
language
with
they
their
and
theirs.
When
making
updates
to
city
policies
default
use
of,
he
presumes
that
they're
referring
to
a
male
gender
and
when
you
use
he
or
she
it
doesn't
recognize
people
who
identify
as
other
than
male
or
female.
Ultimately
using
gender.
Specific
language
is
often
inaccurate
and
it's
not
inclusive.
B
The
american
psychological
association
endorses
the
use
of
they
as
a
singular
third-person,
pronoun
and
notes
that
doing
so
is
inclusive
of
all
people
and
helps
writers
avoid
making
assumptions
about
genders
staff
recommends
that
the
city
transition
citywide
to
use
of
the
singular
they
their
theirs
as
a
non-gendered
pronoun.
In
order
to
be
more
inclusive
in
a
way,
that's
in
the
way
the
city
communicates,
staff
proposes
to
initially
update
the
city's,
approximately
250
council
policies
and
administrative
instructions
and
over
time
over
time,
as
document
processing
staff
time
has
capacity
to
do
so.
B
D
D
So
I
know
that
some
that
in
particular,
actually
when
I
was
signing
up
for
my
covid
test,
there's
kind
of
male
female,
but
it's
also
kind
of
being
able
to
to
identify,
as
as
others
so
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
move
in
in
that
direction
as
well,
for
people
to
be
able
to
identify
all
right,
any
other
kind
of
questions
or
comments
on
the
four
presentations
before
we
go
to
public
comment,
all
right,
seeing
none.
I
will
move
to
public
comment
and
mr
gaines.
D
L
Hi
I
would
like
to
thank
staff
for
the
presentation
on
equity-based
budgeting.
I
wasn't
aware
of
what
this
meant
before,
but
I
it
looks
like
a
great
idea.
I
hope
you
know
I
look
forward
to
seeing
how
it
progresses
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
vice
mayor.
I
remember
you
mentioning
this
right.
You
know,
after
the
death
of
george
floyd
at
that
city
council
meeting,
and
I'm
really
glad
to
see
this
come
to
fruition.
It's
a
really
great
idea.
L
I
I
would
like
to
say
I
know
we're
going
to
get
into
the
details
of
implementation
later,
but
I
hope
that
the
the
you
know,
burdens
of
policing
are
also
taken
into
account
when
we
use
this
budget
equity
tool.
There
are
known
burdens
so,
for
instance,
there's
a
large-scale
study
from
stanford
that
demonstrates
that
police
officers
use
racial
profiling.
They
look
at
stops
done
right
after
sunset
versus
right
before
sunset.
L
This
is
the
veil
of
darkness
test.
So
if
you
can't
see
someone's
skin
color,
because
it's
right
after
sunset,
then
that
means
you've
prevented
racial
profiling
from
being
possible
before
the
stock.
They
find
that
there
is
racial
profiling.
Black
americans
are
stopped
20
more
often
there's
another
harm
from
policing.
So
there's
another
study
from
2019
that
shows
that
adolescents
who
are
stopped
are
more
likely
to
display
signs
of
depression
and
anxiety
even
six
months
after
the
stop.
So
there
are
known
harms
that
are
empirically,
you
know
verified.
So
these
are
data-driven.
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
julie,
solomon
and
I'm
a
commissioner
on
the
city
of
mountain
view,
human
relations,
commission
or
hrc.
As
mr
melvin
gaines
reported
earlier
tonight.
Our
hrc
community
police
relations
subcommittee,
which
includes
hrc
chair
ida,
rose
sylvester.
Commissioner,
annette
lynn
and
myself
has
completed
a
series
of
four
zoom-based
listening
forums
to
collect
stories
about
the
experiences
of
mountain
view,
residents,
workers
and
visitors
with
mountain
view,
police
department.
J
Our
subcommittee
would
like
to
thank
the
approximately
80
community
members
who
participated
in
the
forums
as
well
as
staff
from
the
city
manager's
office
and
our
non-profit
organization
partner,
peninsula
conflict
resolution
center
or
pcrc
for
their
support.
We've
also
collected
approximately
50
stories
anonymously
online
via
engage.mountainview.gov
and
approximately
30
stories
confidentially
by
phone
and
via
socially
distanced
one-on-one
conversations.
J
So
we
are
excited
about
the
community's
response.
The
stories
collected
to
date
are
personal,
they
are
powerful
and
they
reflect
a
wide
range
of
experiences
with
the
police
and
we
are
not
done
yet.
If
you
any
of
you
listening
or
someone,
you
know,
has
had
an
experience,
positive,
negative
or
neutral
with
mountain
view,
police
department,
please
share
it
in
english.
Spanish
or
chinese
by
october,
9th
either
anonymously
via
engage.mountainview.gov
or
connolly
with
one
of
us.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
You
hear
me
yes,
okay,
great,
thank
you,
eva
tang,
here
with
envy
sepra.
Once
again,
I'm
excited
about
hearing
about
this
equity-based
budgeting
and
I
really
hope
to
define
more
of
the
tangibles,
and
I
look
forward
to
what
you
have
next
month
to
see
more
of
the
specifics
that
we
don't
have
quite
outlined
right
now.
