GOOD MORNING. AFTERNOON. IT IS APRIL 13TH. THE TIME IS 107. 
          [Public Safety on April 13, 2026.]
          [00:00:08]
THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE IS CALLED TO ORDER. 
          FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES. 
          THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY CORRECTIONS? ADDITIONS? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. FIRST ORDER. SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS IS BRIEFING ITEM A. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M JORDAN KULUNGA, DEPUTY CHIEF PERSONNEL GROUP. 
          TO MY RIGHT IS MR. DIRECTOR APRIL ADELBERG. AND TO HER RIGHT IS CHIEF DANIEL C COMO,
CHIEF POLICE. 
          THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PRESENTATION FOR MARCH. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO TODAY WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER OUR HIRING GOALS,
WHAT WE'RE DOING TO GET THERE, AND THEN GIVE SOME INSIGHT ON HOW WE'RE TRYING TO SUSTAIN THE SUCCESS WE'RE HAVING
RECENTLY. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. I LIKE LIKE THE LAST FEW MONTHS,
OUR GOAL IS 4000 4000 STRONG. 
          WE ENDED MARCH WITH 3352 OFFICERS. OUR NEXT CLASS STARTS APRIL 22ND WHICH IS NEXT
WEDNESDAY. 
          GOAL OBVIOUSLY THIS YEAR IS 350. TRYING TO PUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF RECRUITS IN THERE. 
          THE QUALIFIED RECRUITS IN THERE TO REACH. 350. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THIS IS OUR TIMELINE FOR THE REMAINING FOUR ACADEMY CLASSES FOR 12
DOES START NEXT WEDNESDAY. ON THE 22ND. WE WILL FINISH UP THE FISCAL YEAR WITH CLASS 415 ON
SEPTEMBER 23RD. 
          WE'RE ON TRACK TO HIT OUR 350 GOAL BY THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR,
AND WE'RE LOOKING AT 55 PLUS RECRUITS IN THIS NEXT CLASS. 
          412 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO CURRENTLY WE'RE HAVING 268 CADETS IN THE ACADEMY. WHEN CLASS 412 DOES START, WE'RE GOING TO BE HOSTING 320 PLUS RECRUITS IN THE
ACADEMY. 
          CLASS 407 WILL THEN GRADUATE MAY 8TH AND CURRENTLY HAVE. 
          THEY HAVE 49 IN THAT CLASS. THAT WILL GO TO FTO. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS IS A SLIDE. I ALWAYS GIVE CREDIT TO OUR PEOPLE BECAUSE TO DATE WE'VE
HAD 688 APPLICANTS FROM THE START OF THE FISCAL YEAR. 
          LAST TIME OUR LAST YEAR, AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAD 505 APPLICANTS. 
          OF COURSE, THIS INCREASED WORKLOAD FOR OUR APPLICANT PROCESSING UNIT. OUR RECRUITING TEAM
IS DOING A GREAT JOB OF PULLING THEM IN. APU IS THE LITERALLY THE FIRST HAND THAT PULLS PEOPLE THROUGH AND SEES THEM THROUGH, AND THEN BACKGROUNDS GETS THEIR FILE IN AND DOES
THEIR WORK TO GET THEM INTO OUR ACADEMY CLASSES. 
          THEY'VE DONE VERY WELL. NEXT SLIDE. SO ON THE RECRUITMENT SIDE OF THE HOUSE,
THEIR ADVERTISEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, BILLBOARDS AND OTHER PLATFORMS HAVE BEEN VITAL. 
          AND THE INCREASES THAT WE'VE SEEN AT OUR ON SITE APPLICATION TESTING EVENTS THREE WORDS. 
          I MEAN, WE ARE HIRING THAT'S AT THE FOREFRONT OF EVERY AD WE PUSH,
EVERY SHORT VIDEO WE PUSH ON, PUT ON SOCIAL OR BILLBOARD AS WE ARE HIRING. YOU KNOW,
NOT EVERYBODY'S HIRING RIGHT NOW. 
          AND WE ARE, WE'RE FULL FLEDGED AND GOING WE'VE ALSO COMBINED SOME,
WE'VE HAD SOME COMBINATION WITH PARTNERSHIPS LIKE OUR FOOTBALL CLUB HERE IN DALLAS, DALLAS TRINITY, THE FEMALE FOOTBALL FOOTBALL CLUB. THEY DID A COMMERCIAL
FOR US WITH OUR FEMALE SOCCER TEAM. 
          SO IT'S JUST LITTLE THINGS WE'RE DOING REACHING OUT,
TRYING TO HAVE MORE COLLABORATIONS LIKE THAT WITH OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE CITY OF DALLAS TO PROVIDE OUTREACH. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. TO CONTINUE WITH RECRUITING,
THEY'VE BEEN VERY ACTIVE, ACTIVE, HITTING MULTIPLE COLLEGES, HIRING EVENTS,
AND THEN MILITARY BASES. 
          WE'RE TRACKING OUR SUCCESS NOW FOR FUTURE EVENTS,
SEEING WHERE WE'RE GETTING OUR PEOPLE. 
          NOW, WHEN THIS STARTED, SHE SAID SOMETHING AND IT REALLY CONFUSED ME BECAUSE SHE SAID,
YOU KNOW, WHERE ARE OUR PEOPLE? AND I'M LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WE'RE DPD. LIKE,
I'M OUR, WE'RE OUR PEOPLE. BUT I GET WHAT SHE'S SAYING. 
          LIKE, WHERE ARE WE GETTING OUR PEOPLE? WHERE ARE WE GETTING OUR APPLICANTS THAT THEY'RE
GETTING THE ACADEMY DOING WELL, GETTING ON THE STREETS AND BEING SUCCESSFUL. SO WE'RE TRACKING THAT NOW TO TRY TO MEASURE
THAT AND SEE WHERE WE NEED TO GO, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO KEEP FISHING THOSE PLACES UNTIL THEY DRY UP. AND THEN WE'LL FIND
OTHER PLACES THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL IN PRODUCING DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO FOR MARCH WE HAD AN ATTRITION OF EIGHT. 
          THAT BRINGS OUR TOTAL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR TO 97. 
          BOTH FEBRUARY AND MARCH WERE BELOW OUR ESTIMATED ATTRITION AND THE ATTRITION FOR LAST
YEAR. 
          [00:05:05]
SO THE LEADING THE LEADING CAUSE OF ATTRITION IS OBVIOUSLY RETIREMENT AND PERSONAL
REASONS, BUT WE SEEM TO BE ON TRACK IN DOING SIMILAR ATTRITION TO LAST YEAR. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO MARCH 11TH WE HOSTED ANOTHER COMMUNICATIONS HIRING EVENT. 
          IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. WE HAD 22 APPLICANTS IN THE DOOR. 
          TEN OF THOSE APPLICANTS ARE NOW IN THE HIRING PROCESS. 
          AND IN THURSDAY, WE WILL ALSO WILL BE DOING ANOTHER HIRING EVENT FOR COMMUNICATION AND
DOING PRETTY MUCH SIMILAR. 
          WE'VE DONE THE LAST FEW MONTHS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUR,
OUR ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS IN COMMUNICATIONS. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THIS CONCLUDES OUR, OUR PRESENTATION. 
          I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
PLEASE LET US KNOW. THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. STEWART. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. 
          A QUESTION FOR YOU ABOUT LET'S GO BACK UP TO THE ONE OF THE FIRST SLIDES. 
          AND THIS IS LIKE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER TO,
BUT I ALWAYS FORGET ON SLIDE THREE WHERE WE TALK ABOUT OUR CURRENT STRENGTH IS 3352 OFFICERS, WHICH IS AN AMAZING NUMBER,
BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND IF THAT INCLUDES OUR THE RECRUITS THAT ARE IN THE ACADEMY CLASSES. 
          YES, MA'AM. IT DOES. YES. SO. ALL RIGHT. THE 268. 
          YES, MA'AM. OKAY. OKAY. THAT HELPS. AND I THINK SEEMS LIKE I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION,
BUT I THINK I'VE LOST IT, SO I'LL COME BACK. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER CADENA. 
          WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY I WAS REALLY GLAD TO SEE BAYLOR UNIVERSITY ON HERE. 
          THAT'S WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL. SO THAT Y'ALL ARE GOING TO RECRUIT THERE AS WELL. 
          I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST MCLENNAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND TEMPLE COLLEGE. 
          THOSE ARE TWO REALLY GOOD SCHOOLS ALSO IN THE IN THAT AREA. 
          SO THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. AND THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING LIKE,
IF WE START FISHING HOLES DRY, I MEAN, NAVARRO JUNIOR COLLEGE, I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT ON OUR LIST. 
          THERE'S OTHER PLACES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BRANCH OUT AND GET TO THAT. REALLY OTHER
DEPARTMENTS AREN'T HITTING THAT. THAT'S GOOD. YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER RESENDEZ COUNCIL MEMBER ROTH. 
          THANK YOU. JUST. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ALL ARE DOING A TERRIFIC JOB. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS. I THINK IT'S,
IT'S TERRIFIC THAT YOU'RE REACHING OUT, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PLACES THAT ARE GREAT. 
          PONDS TO BE FISHING IN. SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE CATCHING SOME OF THE,
SOME OF THE FOLKS IN THAT, IN THOSE PONDS. MY QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH. ONCE A PERSON GOES THROUGH THE TRAINING
FACILITIES AND THEY'RE THERE AND THEY GO INTO THE SERVICE IS THERE ANY KIND OF REQUIREMENT? AND AGAIN, MAYBE IT'S INFORMATION EVERYBODY KNOWS,
BUT I DON'T THAT REQUIRES A NEW POLICE OFFICER TO STAY WITH US WITH THE DPD FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT WE'VE SORT OF GOT THEM THEIR TRAINING
COSTS AND, AND THEIR, THEIR VALUE ADDED TO FORCE THEM TO BE RETAINED AND ENFORCED. 
          NOT IN A BAD WAY, BUT, BUT THAT REQUIRES THEM TO BE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR POLICE
FORCE FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. 
          AND, AND ARE WE LOSING FOLKS IN YOUR ATTRITION NUMBERS? TO THAT KIND OF A, WE TRAIN THEM AND THEN THEY MOVE. 
          SO. COUNCIL MEMBER ROTH THAT QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED A FEW TIMES. 
          OH, OKAY. I'M SORRY. NO, NO, YOU'RE GOOD. AND IT MIGHT BE MORE OF AN HR AND LEGAL
QUESTION, BUT DPD, IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND, THAT'S FINE. 
          NO WE DON'T WE DON'T SET PARAMETERS THAT YOU MUST. 
          IT'S MORE OF INCENTIVE BASED. SO WE COULD LOOK INTO INCENTIVE FOR ONE YEAR AND THREE YEAR
OR WHEREVER WE'RE SEEING ANY KIND OF FAULTY THIS, THIS, THIS TIME GAP IS WHERE WE ARE SEEING FOLKS LEAVE. 
          BUT THAT THAT WOULD BE WHERE WE'RE GOING. AND ALSO WE HAVE,
WE CAN COME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN RETENTION PLANS THAT ARE, THAT ARE NOT JUST ONE TIME PAYOFFS. 
          YOU STAYED THREE YEARS. WE GIVE YOU THIS MONEY. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S THINGS IN THE WORKS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY ENTERTAINING TRYING TO DEVELOP
TO HIT THOSE GAPS. 
          BUT YES, I, I'M LOOKING AT OUR NUMBERS AND THE RESEARCH. 
          IT'S DEFINITELY FIVE OR BELOW. WE NEED TO HIT OUR RETENTION THERE,
BUT IT'S THAT 1 TO 3 GAP. 
          LIKE, LIKE YOU MENTIONED THAT, THAT WE'RE REALLY WORKING ON TRYING TO HONE IN HOW TO KEEP
PEOPLE ENGAGED AND STAY. 
          THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR PREPARING THE DPD ATTRITION NUMBERS BY
HIRE DATE. 
          I KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS ASKED FOR,
SO I APPRECIATE YOU ALL. THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ADD TO THIS ON THE LOCATIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO RECRUIT, WHETHER IT'S A COLLEGE,
WHETHER IT'S AN EVENT, IS HIGHLIGHTING THE NUMBER OF RECRUITS PER EVENT. 
          THAT WAY WE CAN SEE WHICH EVENTS ARE BEING FRUITFUL AND CONTINUING TO DO THOSE INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, OTHERS THAT ARE NOT GARNERING AS MUCH RECRUITS. 
          [00:10:03]
THAT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS. SO WE DO HAVE A QR CODE NOW WITH OUR,
WITH OUR FLIERS AND EVERYTHING. WHEN YOU COME UP AND WE HAVE RECRUITERS THERE THAT WILL TRACK YOUR INFORMATION OR GET YOUR INFORMATION,
FOLLOW UP EMAILS. 
          OUR BIG THING IS FOLLOW UP SO WE CAN SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE AT AN EVENT THAT ACTUALLY
SCAN OUR QR CODE OR SIGNED UP FOR FOLLOW UP INFORMATION. 
          SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF BEGUN. IT'S REALLY EARLY ON ON THE TRACKING STATUS OF ALL THOSE,
BUT WE'RE DOING THAT AT EVERY EVENT WITH OUR BOOTHS. 
          THANK YOU. BEFORE I GO TO THE SECOND ITEM, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER,
DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM GAY DONNELL WILLIS TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF OUR SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH THAT WE CELEBRATED AT THE PRESS
CONFERENCE THIS MORNING. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAYOR PRO TEM. YES, TODAY WE HAD AN EVENT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH TO YOUR OFFICE STAFF. BRENDA DEL RIO FOR COORDINATING THAT,
JUST TO CALL ATTENTION TO SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ALL OF OUR NONPROFIT PROVIDERS, OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, IN FACT, DPD WAS REPRESENTED QUITE HONORABLY SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHO YOU LOVE OR WHERE YOU LIVE, THAT IF YOU'VE HAD BEEN ATTACKED OR HAD A SEXUAL ASSAULT IN YOUR LIFE,
THAT DPD WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEY WANT TO BRING THAT PERPETRATOR TO JUSTICE. SO TWO AND FIVE TEXAS WOMEN, 1 IN 5 TEXAS MEN ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. 
          AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD,
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY THEY HAVE A WELCOMING COMMUNITY THAT WANTS TO HELP BRING JUSTICE INTO THEIR LIFE AND ALSO THE RESOURCES TO HELP THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SURVIVORS. 
          AND THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR THEM IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NEXT BRIEFING ITEM IS ITEM B,
THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS AT DALLAS. 
          AND THIS ITEM, I BELIEVE IS GOING TO FULL COUNCIL FOR A DEEPER CONVERSATION. 
          SO IF THERE'S WE'LL DO A REAL QUICK UPDATE AND THEN WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS,
IF THERE'S ANY FROM THE COMMITTEE. 
          GREAT. THANK YOU. JENNY NISWANDER I'M WITH THE BAND OFFICE. 
          SO AS, AS YOU MENTIONED, WE WILL BE BRIEFING ON ON WEDNESDAY ON THIS AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY
FACILITY TRAINING COMPLEX AS WELL FOR THE MEMO. 
          SOME HIGHLIGHTS. WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR 100% DESIGN AND OUR CMR IS REVIEWING THE 100%
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS TO, TO GET US AN UPDATED COST ESTIMATE. OUR OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE IS ALSO HELPING US DEVELOP
A TIMELINE AND MASTER SCHEDULE THAT WILL BE SHARED WITH THE ENTIRE DESIGN TEAM. A THOROUGHFARE AMENDMENT THAT WAS ACTUALLY UNCOMPLETED LAST WEDNESDAY
WHEN IT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL WILL PROBABLY BE REMOVING THAT FROM THE MEMORANDUM MOVING FORWARD. 
          IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WE HAVE BEGUN WITH WITH OUR,
OUR OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE AND OUR ARCHITECT AS WELL TO HAVE SOME COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS IT RELATES TO THE SUBCONTRACTING COMMUNITY SO WE CAN GET OUT IN FRONT OF THEM BEFORE
ANYTHING GOES OUT TO BID. 
          AND WE HAVE HAD AN INFORMATIONAL TOWN HALL WITH UNTD THAT WAS WELL ATTENDED WITH THE
STUDENTS AND THE PROFESSORS. 
          SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY WITH THAT. AT THE LAST MEETING,
THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT PUBLIC ART. 
          AND SO WE INCLUDED THAT IN THE END, THIS MEMO AS WELL. 
          I THINK THE QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED WAS WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THE
ORDINANCE IF A PROJECT WAS TO BE REMOVED FROM PUBLIC ART CONSIDERATION. 
          THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. AND WE'LL HAVE A SLIDE ON THAT IN THE WEDNESDAY BRIEFING AS
WELL. 
          THERE IS A PROCESS TO, TO REMOVE A PROJECT IF FROM THE PUBLIC ART CONSIDERATION. 
          AND THAT'S EITHER THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER OR CITY COUNCIL AND IT'S FORMALLY ADOPTED
THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS. 
          ON OUR SCHEDULE, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE WE ARE ON SCHEDULE AND IN WORKING WITH OUR
OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE AND OUR SEYMOUR, WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AN EARLY START CONSTRUCTION PACKAGE THAT WE PLAN TO TAKE TO
COUNCIL IN AUGUST FOR A SEPTEMBER GROUNDBREAKING. 
          SO WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE WHEN IT COMES TO TO ACTUALLY
MOVING THE DIRT. 
          SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. FOR THE BUDGET,
WE STILL HAVE THE $185 MILLION BUDGET. 
          WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT WHERE THE WHERE THE COST CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE IS COMING IN
ON WEDNESDAY. 
          OUR FUNDING TO FUNDING SUMMARY IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FROM LAST MONTH. 
          WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR WITH OUR FUNDRAISING TEAM TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES AND TO SUPPORT
THEM IN WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE. 
          TO CLOSE ANY FUNDING, FUNDING GAPS. AND FOR AWARDED CONTRACTS THAT REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM
THE LAST MEMO AND OUR EXPENSE EXPENSES HAVE BEEN INCREASED A LITTLE BIT AS THE INVOICES HAVE
BEEN COMING IN. 
          THAT'S HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MEMO. SO WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER ROTH. JUST TO SORT OF CLARIFY THE CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE 
          [00:15:10]
SO THE DESIGNS ARE FINISHED. YOU'RE GOING TO GET CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS BY IT LOOKS LIKE
BY MAY. 
          AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN THEN AND AUGUST ARE YOU IS WHEN DO THEY START GETTING BIDS
AND START LOOKING AT THE COSTS? IS THAT WHAT'S THE TIME PERIOD OF THAT ANTICIPATED? RIGHT. SO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS BEING COMPLETED IN MAY,
THEY'LL GO OUT TO BID IN MAY AND THEN THEY'LL START RECEIVING THOSE BIDS IN. 
          FIND OUT WHO'S GOING TO GET THE, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRACTS FOR THAT. 
          AND THEN INTERNALLY, WE'LL HAVE TO PACKAGE THAT SO THAT WE CAN BRING IT TO COUNCIL FOR
AUGUST CONSIDERATION. 
          IS THERE A DEADLINE ON THE, ON THE BID, ON THE BID RECEIPTS DATES AND THEN ON THERE WILL
BE. 
          AND DO YOU HAVE AN INTERNAL SORT OF GOAL FOR REVIEWING THOSE BIDS AND,
AND SORT OF MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT SOMETHING TO LOOK AT TIMELY. 
          RIGHT. SO, SO BOTH. RIGHT. SO WHEN THE BIDS GO OUT,
WE'LL WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THOSE BIDS, YOU KNOW, BACK TO BACK FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. SOMETIMES WE DO THREE,
BUT THOSE WILL HAVE A DEADLINE OF WHEN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO RECEIVE BIDS BACK SO THEY CAN BE REVIEWED IN TIME FOR US TO GET IT TO COUNCIL IN AUGUST. 
          I'M JUST REAL CONCERNED ABOUT COSTS GENERALLY THAT TIME IS REALLY CREATING INCREASED
COSTS. 
          AND SO THE SOONER WE CAN GET THIS THING GOING,
THE SOONER WE CAN START DIGGING. 
          I'D REALLY LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BREAKING GROUND AS FAST AS WE CAN. 
          THAT'S THE ENTIRE TEAM'S SENTIMENT AS WELL. THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER, IF I COULD JUST ADD ALSO WHAT WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE CLEAR IS WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION PACKAGES. 
          SO THIS FIRST ONE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET IS ON THE SITE WORK ONLY. 
          THE WAY THE CMR CONTRACT IS GOING TO WORK IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR SITE WORK PACKAGE,
WHICH IS THE ONE THAT JENNY'S TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND THEN THERE'LL BE OTHER PACKAGES FOR EACH OF THE BUILDINGS. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION PACKAGES COME THROUGH ON THIS PROJECT. 
          AND BEFORE I PROCEED, I APOLOGIZE. I FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE FORMER MAYOR PRO TEM TENNELL
ATKINS. 
          THANK YOU FOR FOR JOINING US. AND LYNN MCBEE,
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AS WELL. 
          COUNCILMEMBER DESANTIS. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER CADENA COUNCILMEMBER STEWART JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE PUBLIC ART. SO IF WE DECIDE TO EXEMPT THIS PROJECT FROM THE PUBLIC ART REQUIREMENT,
THEN THOSE DOLLARS CAN BE SPENT. 
          LOOKS LIKE. ON CERTAIN THINGS WITHIN THE PROJECT. 
          IS THAT RIGHT? SO THE DOLLARS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPENDED HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE PROJECT
AND CANNOT BE REDIRECTED ANY PLACE ELSE. 
          SO THEY WOULD JUST GO BACK INTO THE PROJECT. YES. 
          YES. I MEAN, I THINK WE NEED EVERY DOLLAR WE CAN GET TO GO BACK INTO THE PROJECT. 
          SO THAT'S A GOOD THING. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WASN'T A GLITCH THERE
THAT THAT IT COULD GO BACK INTO THE PROJECT. 
          THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM WALLACE. THANK YOU. 
          YOU KNOW, I NEVER TAKE THAT FUNDRAISING HAT OFF. 
          AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE ON THIS. 
          I KNOW THAT IT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY LONG LEAD TIME BECAUSE WE ALL WANT THIS SO BADLY
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE CURRENT FACILITY HAS BEEN SO LONG OVERDUE TO HAVE A NEW, MORE RESPECTFUL PLACE FOR OUR OFFICERS WHO TAKE CARE OF US TO TRAIN. 
          BUT THE STACK OF FUNDS NEEDED FOR A PROJECT LIKE THIS CAN BE KIND OF COMPLEX. 
          IT'S LIKE JENGA OF ALL THE DIFFERENT FUNDS COMING IN FROM BONDS IN THE STATE AND,
AND OTHERS. 
          BUT I HOPE THAT WITH THIS IDENTIFYING A GROUNDBREAKING INSIGHT AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO
OUR FUNDRAISING TEAM, LYNN AND JENNIFER AND TENNELL FOR HELPING WITH THIS,
BUT I'M REALLY HOPING THAT THIS MEMO AND THE GROUNDBREAKING INSIGHT CAN BE A NICE MARKER OUT THERE SO THAT THOSE WHO WANT TO GIVE AND BE PART OF THIS PROJECT
WILL GO ON AND SEE THAT IT'S REAL. 
          IT'S NOT JUST THE RENDERINGS NOW. I MEAN, WE'RE MOVING TOWARD A DATE WHEN WE WILL ALL BE
BREAKING GROUND ON THIS PROJECT AND THAT ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO PARTICIPATE, THIS WOULD BE JUST SUCH A PROUD, SHINING MOMENT FOR US TO HAVE REALLY A BEACON OF TRAINING
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          AND THEN ULTIMATELY IN THIS TOOL TO HELP KEEP OUR RESIDENTS SAFE. 
          AND SO I HOPE THAT THAT HELPS WITH SOME, SOME DONORS OUT THERE WHO MAY BE THINKING ABOUT
IT, BUT WANT TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON THE CALENDAR THAT THEY CAN BE PART OF. 
          SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE THE THE SCHEDULE PROJECT SCHEDULE ON HERE GIVES A CLEAR PICTURE ON
EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHERE WE'RE HEADING, AND KEEPS US ACCOUNTABLE TO ENSURING THAT WE DELIVER THIS TRAINING FACILITY THAT HAS BEEN
LONG OVERDUE AND PROMISED FOR SO MANY YEARS. 
          SO WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A PRIORITY OF NOT JUST OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT,
BUT OF THIS COUNCIL AND THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. 
          SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO DELIVER IN A TIMELY MANNER. 
          THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO ITEM BRIEFING ITEM C. 
          [00:20:38]
GOOD AFTERNOON. COMMITTEE. I'M MAJOR ANDRE TAYLOR WITH THE. 
          VIOLENT CRIME UPDATE. NEXT SLIDE. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS THE VIOLENT CRIME UPDATE FOR THE
SUMMARY OF MARCH. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO OVERALL VIOLENT CRIME IS DOWN THIS YEAR 10.73% YEAR TO DATE FOR THE MONTH
OF MARCH. 
          THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS THAT WE ATTRIBUTE TO THIS MOSTLY ARE THE OPERATIONS THAT WE
DEDICATED TOWARD AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS AND OUR CONTINUED DECREASE OF ROBBERIES IN THE CITY. WE PERFORMED THE OPERATION SAFE STREETS,
WHICH IS A CONTINUOUS OPERATION, NOW HAS 337 TOTAL ARRESTS. OPERATION CLEAN SWEEP,
WHICH FOCUSED SPECIFICALLY ON AGGRAVATED ROBBERY SUSPECTS. 
          WE ARRESTED 65 OF THOSE ROBBERY SUSPECTS. THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 304 TOTAL ARRESTS. 
          THEY COMMITTED 123 OFFENSES JUST BY THEMSELVES. 
          68% OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE STILL IN JAIL OR IN CUSTODY AT THIS POINT. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO THE NIBRS VIOLENT CRIME NUMBERS 25 VERSUS 26,
VIOLENT CRIME OVERALL IS DOWN. 
          MURDERS ARE AT APPEARS BY THE GRAPH ARE UP 12.5%. 
          AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT NUMBER AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG. 
          ROBBERIES ARE DOWN. INDIVIDUAL ROBBERIES AND BUSINESS ROBBERIES ARE DOWN. 
          AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS ARE DOWN AS WELL AS NONVIOLENT,
NONVIOLENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH, WE SHOW AN INCREASE OF TWO MURDERS VERSUS LAST YEAR
AT THE SAME TIME. 
          THOSE TWO MURDERS HAVE A 6.4% NUMBER EACH. SO WE HAD AN INCREASE OF TWO,
BUT IT SHOWS A 12% FOR MURDERS OVERALL. 
          WE HAD 33 MURDERS THIS YEAR. WE HAD 31 LAST YEAR FOR ROBBERIES. 
          WE'RE DOWN 17.28% WITH 84 FEWER VICTIMS. BUSINESS ROBBERIES ARE DOWN 48 FEWER INDIVIDUAL
ROBBERIES AND 41 INDIVIDUAL ROBBERIES ARE DOWN. AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS WE HAVE ARE DOWN AS WELL. 
          WE HAVE 109 FEWER VICTIMS THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR. 
          AND THE AGGREGATE AGGRAVATED ASSAULT FAMILY VIOLENCE HAS DECREASED 9.69% WITH 38 FEWER
VICTIMS AND 71 FEWER VICTIMS THAN LAST YEAR. NEXT SLIDE. THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS HAVE DECREASED AS WE HAVE BEEN CONTINUING TO GO
IN A DOWNWARD DIRECTION. SO FOR MARCH LAST YEAR, WE HAD 512 INCIDENTS. 
          THIS YEAR WE HAD 487. NEXT SLIDE. JUST AS THE INCIDENTS HAVE GONE DOWN,
THE NUMBER OF VICTIMS HAS DECREASED AS WELL. 
          MARCH LAST YEAR WE HAD 626 VICTIMS AND THIS YEAR WE HAVE 566 VICTIMS. THE COMMITTEE ASKED FOR THE DEMOGRAPHICS TO BE RETURNED BACK TO THE PRESENTATION. 
          SO THE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR THE MURDER VICTIMS ARE BACK IN HERE TO SHOW THE VICTIMS RACES AND
SEX, AS WELL AS THE SUSPECT'S INFORMATION, AND THEN THE SUSPECT AGE COUNT AND PERCENTAGE. 
          AS WE CAN SEE, THOSE NUMBERS ARE IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE. THE FOLKS DETERRENCE SECTION HAS NOW 91 ACTIVE CLIENTS. 
          WE HAD 109 PARTICIPANTS CONTACTS AND 46 REFERRALS TO DIFFERENT SERVICES AND RESOURCES. 
          WE HAVE NOTICED AND TRACKED OUR QUARTER ONE NUMBERS AS A 62.5% INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR,
AND WE ATTRIBUTE THAT FACTOR TO THE NEW CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND THE INCREASE OF STAFF TO FOCUS DETERRENCE. 
          THE UPDATE FOR THE ICT TEAM FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH IS THEY HAD 180 NON-LAW NON ENFORCEMENT
CONTACTS IN THE PSN AREAS AND LOCATIONS THAT INCLUDED 97 COMMUNITY CONTACTS,
23 MEETINGS, 52 SITE CHECKS WITH 26 EVENTS. 
          AND FOR THE PSN LOCATIONS, THE COMBINED DECREASE IN THEIR CRIME IS 21.12% AND THE
AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS, 
          [00:25:07]
ESPECIALLY IN THE ESPERANZA AREA, WHICH IS THE NORTH OF 635,
THE ASSAULTS ARE DOWN 31.25%. 
          AND THAT IS THE END OF OUR VIOLENT CRIME PRESENTATION. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER CADENA. 
          I MAY HAVE MISSED IT, BUT DID YOU SAY WHY THERE MAYBE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE. 
          I'M SORRY, DID YOU MENTION A REASON WHY WE THINK THAT THERE'S AN INCREASE IN THE MURDERS? NO, I DID NOT MENTION THE EXACT REASON. MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE FOR THOSE. 
          HERE. I HAVE THE NUMBERS HERE. MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE WITH THAT WAS INDIVIDUALS THAT KNEW
EACH OTHER. 
          AND SO AGAIN, IT'S A DIFFICULT PART TO STOP. THE TWO INCREASES AGAIN FROM 33 TO 31 TWO
INDIVIDUALS INCREASES THAT KNEW EACH OTHER FOR THE FAMILY VIOLENCE,
MANSLAUGHTER, MURDERS. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. I KNOW WE JUST CONTINUE TO DECREASE THESE
NUMBERS. 
          YES, MA'AM. SO THANK YOU, CHAIR JOHNSON. COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          RESENDEZ. COUNCIL MEMBER. ROTH. THANK YOU FOR FOR THE INFORMATION ON ON THE ESPERANZA AREA
IN OUR DISTRICT, I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR EFFORTS IN KEEPING IN MONITORING THAT AREA AND,
AND HELPING US IMPROVE THAT THE QUALITY OF THE POLICING AND SAFETY IN THAT AREA, WHICH YOU ALL ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AT. THE IN THE MURDER VICTIM DEMOGRAPHICS IT WAS SORT
OF INTERESTING TO ME TO SEE THAT THE VICTIM'S RACE AND THE SUSPECT'S RACE WERE EXACTLY THE SAME PERCENTAGES. 
          IS THAT IS THAT WAS IT? THESE ARE JUST FOR TWO MURDERS. 
          IS THAT WHAT THAT'S FOR? YES, SIR. OKAY, SO. SO IT WAS JUST A IT WAS IT WASN'T A YEAR TO
DATE AVERAGE JUST FOR THOSE TWO. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. CHAIR STEWART. THANK YOU. 
          SO I THINK WHAT REALLY STRIKES ME ABOUT THE STATISTICS THIS MONTH IS THAT WE'VE MADE HUGE
PROGRESS IN THE FAMILY VIOLENCE AREA, WHICH IS WHERE I WAS FEELING A LITTLE DESPAIR LAST MONTH. 
          AND SO I AM GLAD TO SEE THERE WERE ZERO FAMILY VIOLENCE MURDERS THIS PAST MONTH AS WELL AS
I THINK OUR AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS HAVE DECREASED FOR FAMILY VIOLENCE. SO HATS OFF IF IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE SECRET SAUCE WAS THAT MADE THAT
HAPPEN, I HOPE WE CAN REPLICATE THAT. BECAUSE THAT'S,
THAT'S TO ME, AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, ONE OF THE HARDEST PIECES OF TO IMPACT, TO AFFECT IN A GOOD WAY. I THINK IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST MORE COMPLEX,
RIGHT? GETTING INTO FAMILIES AND WORKING ON REDUCING VIOLENCE WITHIN FAMILIES. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. AND I THINK THAT THE OTHER THING I WOULD JUST SAY,
WHICH HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE IS THAT FOR DISTRICT TEN, BOTH OUR ROBBERIES AND BURGLARIES HAVE COME
DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOUR YOUR STATS ARE AS WELL. SO A BIG THANK YOU TO CHIEF COMO,
TO MAJOR NELSON, TO EVERYBODY WHO'S WORKING ON THAT OVER ACROSS THE CITY. 
          BUT TO BEGIN TO SEE SOME OF THOSE THINGS COME DOWN IN MY DISTRICT,
IT'S GREAT. 
          YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU, CHAIR JOHNSON. THANK YOU. 
          CHIEF, I WANT TO APPRECIATE YOU. I KNOW WE'RE GETTING SOME THINGS TOGETHER IN DISTRICT
FOUR, BUT I WANT TO READ AN EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM ONE OF MY CONSTITUENTS. 
          IT SAYS ON FRIDAY EVENING, WE HAD A POWER OUTAGE LASTING UNTIL 3:30 A.M. 
          DEALING WITH VIOLENT CRIME. SOME MAY NOT FEEL THIS VIOLENT CRIME,
BUT SHE'S A SENIOR CITIZEN. 
          DURING THIS TIME, GUNFIRE ERUPTED ON HARLANDALE AND MCVEIGH. 
          THERE WAS SO MUCH GUNFIRE. VIRGINIA AND I STAYED ON THE FLOOR. 
          IT SOUNDED AS IF WE WERE IN A WAR. FOLLOWING AN INCIDENT,
THEY DID A REPORT. 
          SHE SAYS, WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE POLICE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. 
          AND SO SHE SAID, WE WOKE UP, FOUND THE BULLET IN HER ROOF THAT LEFT THEM SHAKING. 
          THIS IS JUST ONE EMAIL THAT I'M RECEIVING, AND I KNOW YOU'RE OUT WORKING WITH ME AND WE'RE
IN THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER, WORKING. I WILL I WILL SAY THAT. BUT WHAT PRIORITY IS THIS WHEN IT COMES TO CRIME? BECAUSE WHAT WE SEE VIOLENT CRIME AS, AS, AS ONE THING,
HOWEVER, THE COMMUNITY IS SEEING IT IN THE SENIOR CITIZENS SEEING IT SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SO I WANT TO READ THIS EMAIL BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID THAT SOMETHING ELSE COULD
POSSIBLY HAPPEN WHERE LIFE IS TAKEN. 
          SO WHAT PRIORITY IS THIS? AND THIS IS ONE QUESTION. 
          [00:30:02]
AND HOW DO WE HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS? BECAUSE I SPOKE WITH CHIEF COLEMAN,
WHERE HE'S REALLY WORKING WITH ME TO GET THINGS DONE. 
          I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I SAY IT ON RECORD,
BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON, AND NOW I HAVE SENIOR CITIZENS SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR WITH THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY'RE
AFRAID. 
          I HAVE ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE I WAS SHOOTING IN ONE DEPARTMENT AND THE BULLET CAME THROUGH
THE WALL. 
          AND SO THIS IS STUFF THAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. 
          AND SO WHAT WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO CONCERNING THAT MATTER? BECAUSE PUBLIC SAFETY IS MY IS, IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. 
          I'VE STARTED A PUBLIC SAFETY STEERING COMMITTEE IN DISTRICT FOUR WITH OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S
THAT CRUCIAL TO US. 
          SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO AS A COUNCIL MEMBER AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? WHAT STEPS NEED TO GO FORWARD IF THEY'RE CALLING AND NOT GETTING ANSWERS AND ETC.? BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I'M GETTING EMAILS ON, AND I WANT TO BRING THIS TO YOU GUYS AS WELL. 
          ANYONE CAN ANSWER ME. NO PROBLEM. COUNCILMAN I GOT YOU. 
          WE HAVE BEEN TAKING A VERY DIRECTED APPROACH BRINGING OUR TECHNOLOGY,
BRINGING OUR PLANNING AND EFFORTS INTO GOING INTO THIS ASPECT OF RANDOM GUNFIRE. 
          WE KNOW THAT IT'S PLAGUED THE COMMUNITY. WE KNOW THAT IT'S AN ISSUE. 
          IT MAY TECHNICALLY NOT BE TERMED VIOLENT CRIME,
BUT WE UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT ONLY A NUISANCE, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. SO WE ARE FOCUSING ON THAT. 
          I TOOK DOWN THE ADDRESS FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL SO THAT WE CAN OR THAT INTERSECTION SO THAT WE
CAN KIND OF DIRECT OUR FOCUS TO THAT AREA. 
          BUT THIS IS A CONTINUOUS AND ONGOING THING. WE ARE WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY TO AFFECT THESE
INDIVIDUALS WITH RANDOM GUNFIRE. 
          THANK YOU. MAJOR VALENTINE AND CHIEF HAWKINS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN DISTRICT FOUR AND MAJOR GREER,
I THINK I PROBABLY BUG HIM MORE. 
          I BUG MY WIFE SOMETIME. CALLING HIM ALL TIMES TONIGHT. 
          JUST TRYING TO GET SOME INFORMATION. SO I APPRECIATE YOU,
MAJOR. ALWAYS ANSWERING THE PHONE FOR US. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE. 
          I WANT TO KNOW, I KNOW I ASKED THIS BEFORE, BUT WHAT ARE THE TEAM VIOLENT NUMBERS WHEN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN, OUR YOUNG KIDS SHOOTING. AND DO WE HAVE THOSE NUMBERS AS WELL? THE DATA ON TEEN VIOLENCE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT,
CAN YOU GET IT TO MY OFFICE? I'LL WORK ON THAT, SIR. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. AND THE LAST THING I SPOKE WITH CHIEF KUMAR
ABOUT THIS, AND I KNOW WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER AGAIN ON THIS,
BUT WE HAVE SOME OF OUR UNHOUSED COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE'RE DEALING WITH PENAL CODE 4805. AND SOME OF THEM,
WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR EMERGENCY CRISIS TEAM THAT'S GOING OUT AND WORKING HARD. 
          THE CODE IS WORKING HARD. THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. 
          MR. GRAY, TERRY MASON AND THEIR TEAM CHRIS CHRISTIAN AND HIS TEAM DOING A WONDERFUL JOB. 
          HOWEVER, SOME OF OUR UNHOUSED COMMUNITY IS NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY. 
          THEY'RE BECOMING MORE VIOLENT WHEN WE'RE TO SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          THEY'RE BECOMING MORE VIOLENT WHEN SOME OF OUR TEAM GO OUT AND THEY KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE
AND WHAT CANNOT BE DONE. 
          AND I'M NOT GETTING THE SUPPORT THAT I NEED FROM,
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE MARSHALL GROUP OR WHATEVER. AND I'VE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME SUPPORT THAT DOWNTOWN IS GETTING. I NEED THAT TO BE HAPPENING IN DISTRICT FOUR. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S DPD OR THE MARSHALL,
BUT I WANT TO PUBLICLY SAY I'M NOT GETTING THE SUPPORT FROM OUR FROM OUR POLICE OFFICERS WHEN IT CONCERNS THAT. HOW CAN I GET THAT DONE? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S DPD OR THAT FALLS UNDER VIOLENT CRIME FOR ME. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. NO, NO. AND IT'S APPROPRIATE TO ASK NOW,
BUT WE DO HAVE A RIGHT CARE UPDATE HERE IN A MINUTE. 
          AND OKAY. WE ALSO HAVE THE MARSHALL'S HOMELESS. 
          OKAY. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT FALLS UNDER THE CHIEF. COME ON. 
          BUT I, I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CHIEF THAT I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT. 
          SO I GUESS I CAN WAIT AND ASK THAT THEY GET THAT INFORMATION LATER. 
          UNLESS DPD FEELS THAT THEIR. I WILL ADD THAT. 
          THE HOT TEAM HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE. THAT'S THE TEAM. 
          AND THAT'S, I THINK, PART OF THE NEXT PRESENTATION. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, FOR YOUR COMMUNITY, ALL THEY NEED IS THE LOCATION. 
          AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF OUR UNHOUSED CITIZENS ARE BECOMING A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT, BUT I THINK THIS TEAM IS VERY ADEPT AT HANDLING THOSE TYPES OF SITUATIONS. 
          I LIKE TO ROLL BACK TO ONE OF THE OTHER QUESTIONS YOU ASKED ABOUT. 
          WHAT CAN YOU DO? WHAT CAN YOUR CITIZENS DO TO HELP US OUT WITH SOME OF THOSE VIOLENT
CRIMES HAPPEN IN THAT AREA? THEIR VOICE MEANS A LOT. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THAT WE DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT'S HAPPENING IN COMMUNITIES, IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS, CERTAIN RESIDENCES, CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS. 
          IT MEANS A LOT TO GET THAT INTEL FROM THEM AND THEY CAN FOLLOW UP ON IT,
RIGHT? THOSE RANDOM GUNFIRE DOES NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT THE COMMUNITY ALREADY KNOWING A LITTLE BIT
MORE THAN WHAT WE KNOW. 
          THEY HAVE MORE EYES THAN WE HAVE. SO WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ASSIST US IS TO GIVE US THAT
INTEL. 
          THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU,
CHIEF, BECAUSE I KNOW, LIKE I SAID, CHIEF HAS REALLY BEEN RESPONSIVE. 
          MAJOR GREER AND HIS TEAM. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. 
          [00:35:01]
AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE, THE CBI PROGRAM. 
          I MENTIONED THAT EARLIER. AND SO TRYING TO GET THAT BACK AFTER KNOW THAT THAT THOSE
FUNDINGS IS NOT UNDER PUBLIC SAFETY, WHICH IT SHOULD BE. DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S IN HOUSING. HOW ARE WE TRYING TO GET THAT DONE? BECAUSE THAT'S A, THAT'S A RESOURCE THAT WE NEED IN DISTRICT FOUR. SO THANK YOU GUYS SO
MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU CHIEF. THANK YOU DPD. I WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO OUR NEXT BRIEFING
ITEM ITEM D. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I AM TABITHA CASTILLO. 
          I AM THE CRISIS RESPONSE ADMINISTRATOR WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND CRISIS RESPONSE. 
          I'M JOINED TODAY BY OUR KEY PARTNERS. CURTIS YOUNG WITH PARKLAND HEALTH CHIEFS KYRA AND
DOCTOR MARSHALL ISAACS WITH DALLAS FIRE RESCUE. TOGETHER, WE REPRESENT THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO PUBLIC
SAFETY INTEGRATING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, FIRE RESCUE, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. TODAY'S PRESENTATION WILL COVER RIGHT CARE OPERATIONS
THE EXPANSION OF CARE OF OUR ADOLESCENT PILOT MEDIC TEAM, OVERVIEW AND EXPANSION,
AND DISCUSS OUR CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM'S EFFORTS. 
          OUR GOAL IS TO SHOW YOU HOW THESE PROGRAMS HAVE IMPROVED AND ENSURE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW
RESIDENTS ARE RECEIVING THE RIGHT CARE AT THE RIGHT TIME. 
          NEXT SLIDE. RIGHT CARE LAUNCHED IN 2018 AND EXPANDED CITYWIDE IN 2021. 
          TODAY, WE HAVE ABOUT 70 FULL TIME OPERATING STAFF IN A CO-RESPONDER MODEL WITH DPD,
DHF AND PARKLAND SOCIAL WORKERS. 
          WE PROVIDE COVERAGE ACROSS DAY, EVENING AND OVERNIGHTS AND HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ROVING UNITS
ENSURING CONSISTENT CITYWIDE CRISIS RESPONSE. 
          TODAY, OUR UNIT RESPONDS TO ABOUT 60% OF ALL POLICE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CALLS. 
          NOW THAT WE'VE COVERED JUST GENERALLY A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS,
I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO CURTIS YOUNG WITH PARKLAND HEALTH TO WALK US THROUGH THE EXPANSION OF CARE, INCLUDING OUR ADOLESCENT PILOT. 
          THANK YOU TABITHA. MY NAME IS CURTIS YOUNG. I'M SENIOR DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WORK FOR
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AT PARKLAND HEALTH. 
          AND PARKLAND HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS PARTNERSHIP SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING IN 2018,
AND WE'RE VERY PROUD TO BE A PARTNER WITH THE CITY, DPD AND DFR. AND I, I ALSO JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT THIS PROGRAM DOESN'T WORK WITHOUT THE
BOOTS ON THE GROUND. 
          ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WORK TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM HAPPEN 24 OVER SEVEN AROUND THE CLOCK. 
          THEY, THEY'RE DOING THE HARD WORK. SO SO WHY ADOLESCENTS? WELL, SO WE'VE BEEN OPERATING WITH ADULTS SINCE WE STARTED IN 2018. 
          PARKLAND HEALTH COMPLETES A TRI ANNUAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EVERY THREE
YEARS. 
          AND WHAT, WHAT'S COME OUT OF THOSE ASSESSMENTS RECENTLY IS THAT THE COMMUNITY IS BEGGING
FOR MORE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND HOW TO NAVIGATE THOSE RESOURCES. 
          SO, RIGHT, CARE JUST IS A VERY NATURAL FIT BECAUSE IT'S ABLE TO ACCESS PEOPLE GIVING,
GIVING ACCESS TO THOSE THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THEY MIGHT NOT BE COMING TO AN E.R. OR EVEN A CLINIC. 
          SO IT'S REALLY HELPING PEOPLE TO NAVIGATE EVEN MORE THAN,
THAN WE WERE BEFORE. 
          SO IT REALLY ALIGNS WITH PARKLAND STRATEGY THERE. 
          IN EARLY 2024, PARKLAND SUBMITTED A WRITTEN PROPOSAL TO THIS LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT STARTED
WORKING IN EARNEST ON A CHANGE IN OUR SCOPE TO INCLUDE AGES 10 TO 17. WE DID TAKE PAUSE DURING THE THE CHANGE IN THE CHIEF OF POLICE. 
          SO WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT HE WAS ON BOARD WITH ALL OF THAT,
OF COURSE. SO THAT DID SLOW US DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. 
          BUT WITH MOST OF THE KEY ELEMENTS IN PLACE, WE DID LAUNCH A SIX MONTH PILOT PROJECT IN
FEBRUARY 11TH OF 2026, AND A MAJOR PART OF THAT WAS WRITING A STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR MINORS. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING AT AGES 10 TO 17. WE'RE PROVIDING AN EARLY EARLIER INTERVENTION. 
          AND IT'S GOING TO BE A SIX MONTH PILOT. SO WE'LL GO THROUGH JULY OF 2026 AND THEN
REEVALUATE FROM THERE ON, ON DATA THAT WE'RE COLLECTING AND HOW BEST TO PROCEED FROM THERE. 
          WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE NOT ADDING ADDITIONAL TEAMS. WE'RE REPURPOSING OUR TWO ROVER
TEAMS. SO THIS IS NOT THIS ISN'T ASKING FOR MORE STAFFING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE HAVE THE TWO TEAMS THAT COME ON FROM 3 TO 11 P.M.,
AND IT'S THOSE TEAMS THAT WE'VE BASICALLY PUT ASSIGNED SOCIAL WORKERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE 
          [00:40:03]
WORKING WITH YOUTH THINK OF MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS OR SCHOOLS OR EVEN THE FOSTER CARE
ADOPTION SYSTEM. 
          SO WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE ON THE TEAM ALREADY WITH WORKING WITH THOSE POPULATIONS. 
          AND SO THEY'VE BEEN ASSIGNING THOSE FOLKS TO THOSE TEAMS. WE DO MANDATORY FOLLOW UPS AS WELL. SO AFTER INITIAL 911 CALL,
WHEN WE'RE RESPONDING TO THOSE 911 CALLS, THEY WILL FOLLOW UP ON NEARLY ALL OF THOSE CALLS THE NEXT DAY OR A COUPLE DAYS LATER. 
          AND EVERYBODY IS LICENSED SOCIAL WORKER. SO NEXT SLIDE. 
          AND THEN LET'S JUST LOOK AT OUR DATA. SO WE DID JUST START IN FEBRUARY,
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN A MONTH OF, OF DATA HERE. SO FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH, WE HAD 39 CALLS THAT WE RESPONDED TO,
AND 30 OF THOSE WERE UNDUPLICATED. 
          WE DIVERTED 24 FROM THE HOSPITAL AND COMPLETED 14 FOLLOW UPS WITH THREE ARRESTS. 
          SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE OVER THERE SINCE THE PILOT HAS STARTED,
IT'S KIND OF A 45 DAY MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. 
          BUT AND THEN JUST ANECDOTALLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM FAMILIES IS YOU KNOW,
THIS IS KIND OF AN UNEXPECTED SERVICE, BUT IT'S REALLY HELPING THEM TO KIND OF PROCESS,
YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT RESOURCES ARE OUT THERE TO HELP THEM. 
          SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT SLIDE. I'M CHRIS SCHAER. 
          I'M THE SECTION CHIEF OF EMS FOR DALLAS FIRE,
AND I'M GOING TO BE SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY ABOUT OUR MEDIC TEAM PROGRAM AND ITS RECENT EXPANSION. THE MEDIC PROGRAM STARTED WITH A PROBLEM. 
          SINCE THE PANDEMIC, WE SAW AN INCREASE OF 11% IN THE CBD FOR LOW ACUITY MEDICAL CALLS. 
          COMBINED WITH THAT, WE SAW AN INCREASED COST OF OUR FIRE APPARATUS. 
          AND OBVIOUSLY THE COST OF PERSONNEL NATURALLY GOES UP THE COST OF LIVING ALL THOSE THINGS. 
          SO WE WERE LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE MODEL THAT ANSWERED THIS INCREASING CALL
VOLUME WITH A MORE COST EFFECTIVE MANNER IN DOING SO. 
          IN OCTOBER OF 2023, WE LAUNCHED THE MEDIC ONE PILOT PROGRAM. 
          AND WHAT IT DID WAS, IS IT PAIRED A DFR PARAMEDIC ALONGSIDE A CRISIS RESPONSE COORDINATOR
TO ADDRESS THESE CALLS IN THE CBD. 
          THEY ADDRESS ANY CALLS AROUND THEM WITHIN A TEN MINUTE BUBBLE. 
          AND THAT PILOT TOOK PLACE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY,
12 HOURS A DAY. 
          AGAIN, IN THE CBD AREA. WE SAW SOME GOOD SUCCESS WITH THAT IN THE,
IN THE EARLY PILOT IT ANSWERED ROUGHLY 2200 INCIDENTS IN THAT FIRST YEAR AND THAT WASN'T OPERATING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK BASED ON THAT SUCCESS. 
          IN NOVEMBER OF 2024, WE EXPANDED THE TEAM TO TWO TEAMS STILL PRIMARILY OPERATING AROUND
THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT A LITTLE BIT IN UPTOWN. 
          AND AGAIN, WE SAW A LOT OF ENGAGEMENTS AND A LOT OF GOOD SUCCESS. 
          AND AS THE INCREASE IN VOLUME STILL CONTINUED ON THOSE LOW ACUITY MEDICAL CALLS,
OUR OUR HEAVY FIRE APPARATUS, THE ENGINES AND THE TRUCKS, WE WERE AT LEAST MAINTAINING THE SAME LEVEL OF RESPONSE,
IF NOT REDUCING THOSE. 
          SO WE WERE REDUCING THE VOLUME ON THAT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          OUR MOST RECENT EXPANSION OF THE MEDIC PROGRAM HAPPENED ON APRIL 1ST,
JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND WE HAVE EXPANDED FROM TWO TEAMS RUNNING 24 OVER SEVEN OR I'M SORRY,
EXCUSE ME, RUNNING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, 12 HOURS A DAY TO FOUR TEAMS RUNNING 12 HOURS A DAY,
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. 
          THEY CURRENTLY MUSTER AT THE BAYLOR STREET OFFICE,
BUT THEY OPERATE IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT UPTOWN, WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE I 75 CORRIDOR, WHICH IS GOING TO BE 75,
ANYWHERE FROM MOCKINGBIRD UP TO LBJ AND THE OAK CLIFF AREA. 
          AND THAT'S GOING TO BE AT THE 3567 SPLIT. AGAIN,
THESE UNITS ARE ANSWERING THOSE SPECIFIC LOW ACUITY CALLS WITHIN A TEN MINUTE RESPONSE BUBBLE, AND WE PARTNERED UP WITH DB AND USE SOME OF OUR INTERNAL INTERNAL DATA TO
DETERMINE THE HOTSPOTS FOR THESE TYPES OF LOW ACUITY CALLS. 
          AS THE PROGRAM PROGRESSES, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO MODEL AND LOOK AT THE
EFFICACY OF THE PROGRAM. 
          AND AS WE SEE SUCCESS, WE'LL CONTINUE TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM AS NEEDED. 
          NEXT SLIDE. THANK YOU CHIEF. WHILE THE MEDIC TEAMS PROVIDE IMMEDIATE AND FIELD RESPONSE
ALONG DHFR, OUR WORK DOESN'T STOP THERE. AS MENTIONED WE HAVE A CIVILIAN RESPONSE TEAM OF CRISIS
RESPONSE COORDINATORS. 
          THERE ARE CURRENTLY 12 COORDINATORS ASSIGNED TO ALL THE POLICE DIVISIONS. 
          AND THEIR FOCUS IS TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE, ONE ASSISTING FIRST RESPONDERS AND COMPLEX
NON-EMERGENCY LOW ACUITY NEEDS OR SOCIAL SERVICE NEEDS, AND ENSURING THAT RESIDENTS ARE CONNECTED INTO LONG TERM
SOLUTIONS. 
          ALSO, OUR GOAL HERE IS TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING OUR HIGH UTILIZERS OF THE 911 AND
EMERGENCY SYSTEM. 
          JUST FINALLY OUR LAST THOUGHTS OR JUST MAIN TAKEAWAYS IS THAT WHEN ALL OF THESE TEAMS WORK
TOGETHER IT, 
          [00:45:07]
IT, THE, THE LEVEL OF IMPACT THAT WE'RE SEEING FOR EXAMPLE,
JUST RIGHT CARE CONTINUALLY SENDING REFERRALS TO OUR CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM AND ENSURING FURTHER FOLLOW UP IF NEEDED. 
          AND THEN HERE RECENTLY DURING EMERGENCY EVENTS,
OUR TEAMS BEING ABLE TO COORDINATE WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TO SUPPORT VULNERABLE RESIDENTS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER OR EMERGENCY EVENTS. 
          THIS LEVEL OF COLLABORATION ALLOWS US ALL NOT JUST TO RESPOND,
BUT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE REDUCING THE REPEAT CALLS AND DELIVER AN EFFECTIVE AND LONG TERM SOLUTION. AND JUST TO CLOSE THIS OUT, I WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
THAT WE'VE BUILT THESE PROGRAMS AND EXPANDED THESE PROGRAMS. YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT SUPPORTER,
AND YOUR FEEDBACK HAS GONE INTO HOW WE BUILT THESE THINGS OUT. 
          I'D ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE OUR PARTNERS POLICE,
FIRE, PARKLAND, METRO, CARE SERVICES OF DALLAS, ALL THROUGHOUT THE CITY HAVE MADE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD POSSIBLE. 
          IT'S DEFINITELY MY HONOR EVERY DAY OF WHEN WE'RE INVESTING IN OUR IN OUR RESIDENTS. 
          AND THIS IS WHAT OUR WORK IS EVERY DAY. SO EVERYTHING YOU HEARD ABOUT TODAY,
WE'RE NOT BUILDING THESE THINGS. 
          THESE THINGS ARE ALREADY OPERATING. AND DALLAS IS DOING THIS. 
          WE'RE DOING IT WELL AND WE'RE LEADING THE NATION. 
          IN ALL OF THE RESPONSE MODELS THAT WE HAVE. AND I'LL CLOSE BY SAYING THAT THE WAY I KNOW
THIS IS WE WERE SELECTED AND WILL BE HOSTING THE NATIONAL CO-RESPONDER CONFERENCE THIS YEAR IN DALLAS. 
          THEY PICKED US BECAUSE OTHER PEER CITIES ALL ACROSS THE NATION WANT TO COME LEARN FROM OUR
TEAMS, LEARN FROM OUR PARTNERS. MANY LARGE CITIES ARE STILL TRYING TO DEVELOP THEIR FIRST
CO-RESPONDER TEAMS. AND SO WE'RE IN A REALLY GOOD PLACE FOR HOW WE SERVE OUR RESIDENTS. 
          AND A LARGE PART OF THAT IS DUE TO THIS COMMITTEE FOR YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS. 
          SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. BEFORE WE GO INTO QUESTIONS TABITHA AND KEVIN,
MAYBE CAN YOU GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE RIGHT CARE GROUP IS? I KNOW THAT OUR CHIEF, SCOTT COPELAND TALKED ABOUT THE,
YOU KNOW, MOVING AWAY FROM THE THE FIRE ENGINES AND GOING INTO THE THE SUVS. YEAH. TELL US SO. 
          SO THAT THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ASKED BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE COMING UP. 
          HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE RIGHT CARE TEAM IS AND ITS FUNCTION. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, SOMEONE THAT IS PASSED OUT ON THE SIDEWALK TO SOMEONE THAT'S YELLING IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE STREET. 
          YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. SO TO TO TAKE YOU BACK,
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN 2015, 2016 TIME FRAME. 
          THE ACTUAL GENESIS OF THE IDEA OF RIGHT CARE CAME FROM AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING WE HAD
IN DALLAS. 
          WHEN WE WENT BACK AND DID AN AFTER ACTION OF THAT CRITICAL INCIDENT,
THERE WERE 34 DIFFERENT POLICE RESPONSES TO THAT SAME HOUSE PRIOR TO, TO THAT DAY. AND SO WE WERE ACTUALLY LED. DOCTOR ISAACS IS,
IS ONE OF THE CHIEF ARCHITECTS AS WELL AS FORMER CHIEF NORMAN SEALS BROUGHT US THIS MODEL OF OUT OF COLORADO SPRINGS AND THEN THE CAHOOTS MODEL IN EUGENE,
OREGON. 
          WE STUDIED BOTH OF THOSE AND WE TOOK PIECES OF EACH,
BUT WE DIDN'T TAKE THE EXACT COPY OF EACH. 
          AND WE STARTED THE TEAM IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL PATROL DIVISION AT THAT TIME,
BECAUSE IT HAD THE MOST POLICE CALLS FOR SERVICE RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH. 
          FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF THE SUMMER OF 2020 AND INTO 2021,
THE COUNCIL SUPPORTED EXPANDING THE PROGRAM FROM THAT ONE PATROL DIVISION TO FIRST CITYWIDE. AND THEN NOT ONLY CITYWIDE,
BUT 24 HOURS. 
          SO THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY. 
          MEDIC CAME AS A RESPONSE TO UNDERSTANDING THAT NOT ALL MENTAL HEALTH CALLS GO TO POLICE. 
          IN FACT, FIRE PROBABLY GETS AN EQUAL NUMBER OF WELFARE CHECKS OR MENTAL HEALTH CALLS TO
THEM. 
          AS, AS POLICE. AND SO TRYING TO LESSEN THE DEMAND ON THEIR SCARCE RESOURCES LIKE WE DO OUR
PATROL OFFICERS LED TO THAT, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS WELL. SO THE IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT WE
REALLY HAVE MULTIPLE TIERS OF WHAT WE CAN RESPOND TO. 
          WE CAN SEND A CIVILIAN, WE CAN SEND A CIVILIAN AND A PARAMEDIC. 
          WE CAN SEND A CIVILIAN, A PARAMEDIC AND A POLICE OFFICER TO A CALL. 
          AND THAT'S WHY OUR EFFORTS IN DISPATCH ARE SO IMPORTANT,
IS GETTING THE RIGHT INFORMATION SO THAT WE KNOW WHICH TEAM TO SEND. 
          THAT WILL MAKE THE MOST INVESTMENT IN OUR RESIDENTS,
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR SITUATION CURRENTLY IS OR WHAT'S BEING REPORTED. 
          [00:50:07]
WE CAN DO THAT. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALWAYS ESCALATE UP IF WE NEED TO. 
          BUT WE'RE AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE INVESTMENT WITH IN OUR RESIDENTS IN THEIR MOMENT
OF CRISIS TO DE-ESCALATE AND PUSH AWAY FROM JAILS AND HOSPITALS. 
          LAST BIT OF INFORMATION I'LL SHARE. IT WAS IN THE PRESENTATION,
BUT I DON'T THINK WE HIT IT. 
          WE'RE 9% REDUCTION IN ARRESTS BY POLICE OFFICERS WITHOUT WARRANT. 
          THAT'S A MENTAL HEALTH ARREST. YEAR OVER YEAR 9%. 
          AND THAT'S ON THE HEELS OF AN OVER 20% REDUCTION SINCE COVID IN THOSE SAME ARRESTS. 
          RIGHT? SO WE'RE NOT TYING UP PATROL OFFICERS AT HOSPITALS WAITING ON DOCTORS TO SEE
PATIENTS OR TAKING FOLKS TO HOSPITALS WHERE THAT WILL NOT END UP IN THE RIGHT OUTCOME FOR,
FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL. 
          WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS USING THE RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY,
LIKE PARKLAND CLINICS ALL OVER THE COMMUNITY, PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM DOCTOR ISAACS AND OTHERS SO THAT WE CAN STABILIZE AND
THEN MOVE PERSONS SO THAT THEY'RE GETTING THAT BASELINE HELP THAT THEY THEY NEED IN THAT MOMENT. AND WITH THAT, I'LL STOP BECAUSE I THINK IT WENT FAR ENOUGH. BUT I DO WANT
TO TURN IT OVER TO TO DOCTOR ISAAC, WHO I RECOGNIZE AS AS ONE OF OUR CHIEF ARCHITECTS. 
          THANKS, KEVIN. AND THANK YOU TO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. 
          I WANT TO ECHO KEVIN'S GRATITUDE FOR YOUR MULTI-YEAR SUPPORT,
WHETHER IT'S THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE, THE FULL COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, CHIEF ARTISTS FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THIS CONCEPT,
BOTH THE CONCEPT OF RIGHT CARE AND NOW THESE MEDIC UNITS. MANY YEARS AGO, WE HAD A VISION IN WHICH WE THOUGHT WE COULD DEVELOP AN
INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT COULD. FIRST AND FOREMOST, PROVIDE A HIGHER LEVEL OF SERVICE TO INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING A
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EMERGENCY IN DALLAS. 
          SECONDARILY WAS TO PROVIDE A SAFER RESPONSE,
SAFER FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS, SAFER FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR PARAMEDICS, OUR POLICE OFFICERS, AND OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS. 
          AND THEN THIRD, AS KEVIN SAID, TO DECREASE THE BURDEN OF UTILIZING OUR SCARCE CITY PUBLIC
SAFETY RESOURCES TO RESPOND TO THESE INDIVIDUALS. AND WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FOR THAT
SUCCESS. 
          IN ADDITION, WITH CHIEF PAUL'S SUPPORT, THIS MEDIC PROGRAM IS CONTINUING OUR VISION TO
PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO THESE SO-CALLED LOWER ACUITY RESPONSES,
THEREBY ALLOWING OUR PARAMEDIC RESCUES, OUR AMBULANCES AND OUR FIRE ENGINES TO FOCUS ON THE ORIGINAL VISION OF 911 EMERGENCY
MEDICAL SERVICES, WHICH WAS TO GET QUICKLY TO INDIVIDUALS WITH SEVERE TRAUMATIC INJURIES AND MEDICAL
EMERGENCIES. 
          WE COULD SIT UP HERE ALL DAY AND TOUT THE SUCCESS OF THESE PROGRAMS. YOU KNOW, AS WE DO THAT, ALL THE CREDIT GOES TO THE MEN AND WOMEN FROM EMC,
OUR DFR, DPD AND PARKLAND HEALTH FOR DOING THE HARD WORK IN THE TRENCHES EACH AND EVERY DAY. 
          THANK YOU. I WOULD JUST ADD REAL QUICK THAT FROM THE PARKLAND PERSPECTIVE,
WITH THE EXPANSION, WE SAW AN IMMEDIATE DECREASE IN EMERGENCY DETENTIONS BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO HELP THOSE
FOLKS WITHOUT GOING THROUGH AN E.R.. 
          AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE BUSIEST ER IN THE COUNTRY,
THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. SO THAT'S WHERE WE SAW THE IMMEDIATE KIND OF RELIEF, AS IT WERE. BUT IT'S ALSO CONNECTING PEOPLE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ALL THAT,
ALL THAT RIGMAROLE. 
          SO YEAH, THANKS. THANK YOU. I THINK THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL FOR OUR NEWER COLLEAGUES. 
          SO CHAIR JOHNSON. YES. THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK CHAIR MENDELSOHN FOR PLACING THIS ON THE
AGENDA. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AS WELL. 
          I DON'T FEEL THE SUPPORT HOLISTICALLY IN DISTRICT FOUR. 
          I HEARD THE DATA, BUT I DON'T FEEL THE SUPPORT. 
          I'VE TALKED TO KEVIN OLDHAM. I WANT TO THANK CHIEF. 
          CHIEF, I FORGOT YOUR NAME BECAUSE WE'D BE CALLING YOU. OH,
GEEZ. WHAT'S YOUR REAL NAME? ARTIS. 
          CHIEF ARTIS. HE GOT A NICKNAME IN DISTRICT FOUR,
Y'ALL. 
          HEY, ROOSEVELT ALUMNI. BUT CHIEF ARTIS, I'VE CALLED HIM AGAIN. 
          CHIEF CUOMO CALLED. CALLED HIM AND BEEN SUPPORTIVE. 
          BUT WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THE. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM,
THEY COME OUT. 
          THEY COME OUT. IF THEY GO IN THE WOODS, I'M GOING IN THE WOODS WITH THEM. 
          I'M, I'M I'M BEATING THE STREET UP WITH THEM. 
          BUT WHEN I'M WHEN I'M ASKING FOR SUPPORT FROM MY MARSHALS,
I'M NOT GETTING THAT. 
          [00:55:03]
AND WE KEEP GOING BACK TO THE SAME OLD SITUATION. 
          AS SOON AS WE GO CLEAN IT UP, THEY COME RIGHT BACK. 
          AND I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR OVER A MONTH NOW, AND I'VE NOT GOTTEN THAT RESPONSE AND I'VE NOT
GOTTEN THAT SUPPORT AGAIN. 
          PENAL CODE 4805. I'VE ASKED FOR IT AT THIS POINT. 
          WE'VE EVEN OFFERED RESOURCES. KEVIN, YOUR TEAM HAS OFFERED RESOURCES. 
          AND YOU KNOW, I'VE TOLD YOU THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. 
          OFFER RESOURCES TO TRY TO GET THEM SOME HELP BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S IT'S A VERY
SENSITIVE MATTER AND WE HAVE TO TREAT IT WITH WITH CARE AND ETC.. 
          HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK MY COMMUNITY IS A PRIORITY BECAUSE I KEEP GETTING THE SAME OLD
SITUATION AND NOW THE TRASH IS BUILDING UP AND IT'S COMING ALL THE WAY UP THE CREEK IN CERTAIN AREAS. AND IT'S AND I'M GETTING COMPLAINTS FROM MY COMMUNITY,
WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY SO. 
          I'M OUT THERE SEEING IT, BUT I GET EXCUSES INSTEAD OF RESULTS. 
          AND SO THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR ME WHEN I'M LOOKING AT IT HOLISTICALLY,
NOT JUST WITH MISS MASON AND MISS MR. GRAPE AND ALL THAT HOLISTICALLY, WE'RE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. 
          AND WHAT'S GOING ON IS THEY'RE GOING AND THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT REFUSE TO HELP,
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE THAT ACTUALLY WANT THE HELP BECAUSE WE'RE HELPING THOSE. 
          WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE THAT ARE BECOMING VIOLENT,
REFUSING TO HELP, AND THEY'RE ON DRUGS. 
          AND WE'VE TALKED TO THEM. WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN DO. 
          BUT BUT I NEED THAT SAME PLAN, THAT HIGH TEAM THAT GOES DOWNTOWN WHEN,
WHEN THE EMERGENCY CRISIS UNIT AND THEY'RE WITH THEM ON A CONSTANT BASIS, I NEED THAT SAME RESULT IN MY COMMUNITY. AND I CAN'T SIT HERE AND ACT LIKE WE'RE GETTING
EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED, BECAUSE THEN I'LL BE BEING DISHONEST. AND SO I NEED YOU GUYS TO SHOW MY COMMUNITY THE SAME
RESPECT THAT YOU'RE SHOWING DOWNTOWN. 
          BRING SOME HELP OVER TO THE BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITY IN DISTRICT FOUR. 
          GIVE US THE SAME RESULTS BECAUSE MY COMMUNITY IS ASKING FOR IT. 
          AND AS THE COUNCIL MEMBER, I'M ASKING FOR IT. 
          SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THAT KIND OF RESULTS? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TALKING FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS NOW ABOUT IT. I'VE CALLED CHIEF ARTIS,
I'VE CALLED CHIEF COMO MESA GRILL, AND THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN. THEY'RE THERE HELPING ME,
BUT I'M NOT GETTING IT HOLISTICALLY OVER IN THIS AREA. 
          SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO FROM YOUR TEAM SO I CAN GET THE RESULTS THAT I NEED? SO WE CAN HAVE A CLEAN COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE'RE PREPARING FOR FIFA TWO IN DISTRICT FOUR. 
          SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? WHAT ARE THE STRATEGIES THAT I NEED? BESIDES GOING INTO ACTIVISM MODE AND BRINGING MY WHOLE COMMUNITY DOWN HERE TO TALK ABOUT
HOW WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE NOT GETTING THE RESULTS. 
          THANK YOU, CHAIR JOHNSON. SO WE DID HAVE A MEMO THAT CAME OUT EARLIER TODAY WITH THE
APPOINTMENT OF MR. KNIGHT AS OUR NEW MARSHALL PERSONNEL. AND SO CHIEF ARTIST,
IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU DON'T MIND TAKING THAT ONE. 
          THANK YOU. CHIEF ARTIST CHIEF OF PUBLIC SAFETY Y COUNCILMAN JOHNSON. 
          YES, WE WE HEAR YOU. WE UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATIONS WHICH ARE ALL SHARED BY ALL OF THE
COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX PROBLEM. AS YOU JUST HEARD FROM THE PRESENTATION,
WE HAVE CREATED ALL THESE DIFFERENT TEAMS TO BE ABLE TO TRY TO NOT ONLY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION, BUT SEND THE RIGHT RESOURCE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO
BE MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WITH OUR RESPONSE. 
          SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE DO HAVE ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS NO MATTER WHAT WE
DO, SOME OF THE INDIVIDUALS, SOME OF THE PEOPLE,
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT ARE WORKING IN OTHER AREAS DON'T WORK IN SOME AREAS. 
          AND SO WE'RE HAVING TO BE MORE CREATIVE IN OUR RESPONSE METHODS. 
          CHIEF IS WORKING ON CHIEF COMO IS WORKING ON SOMETHING INSIDE OF DPD. 
          IT'S STILL IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE. A HOT TEAM THAT ALLOWS US TO BE A LITTLE MORE
INFORMATIVE WITH HOW WE'RE WORKING WITH SOME OF THE ENCAMPMENTS THAT WE DEAL WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          ALSO WITH THE MARSHALS, THE MARSHALS PLAY A PART IN IT,
BUT THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY RESOURCE. 
          AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT. IT'S A IT'S A VERY,
VERY COMPLEX SITUATION. 
          ALSO, THAT UNDERSTANDING THAT USING THOSE CODES AND THOSE ORDINANCES ARE ALSO NOT
SOMETIMES THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY FOR US, BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS THAT EVEN THOUGH WE CAN PICK THOSE FOLKS UP THOSE
ARE MISDEMEANORS AND THEY'RE BACK ON THE STREETS BEFORE SOMETIMES WE CAN GET, GET OUT OF WRITING THE REPORT. AND SO SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE,
WE'RE HAVING TO LOOK AT IN A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO BE ABLE TO BETTER SUIT, TO BRING WHAT YOU SAID TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND ALL THE COMMUNITIES OF OTHER REPRESENTATIVES
UP HERE. 
          BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT IS A PROBLEM. WELL,
I KNOW MAYOR PRO TEM GETTING IT IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          WE SEE THAT, BUT I'M NOT GETTING IT IN MINE. SO I'M NOT GOING TO I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING, 
          [01:00:01]
BUT I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY DISTRICT. SO WHAT IS THE RESULT? WHAT IS THE RESULTS THAT
I NEED? THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR. WHO? SO WHO CAN GIVE ME THAT ANSWER? SO KEVIN,
I THINK A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE IS ONE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE CHAIR JOHNSON HAS THE RESOURCES,
THE PHONE NUMBERS ON WHO AND WHEN TO CALL, WHICH IS APPROPRIATE. BUT I THINK THAT THE BIGGER ISSUE,
CHAIR JOHNSON, IS THE THE FRUSTRATION THAT I SEE IN MY COMMUNITY AS WELL, WHERE IT'S THE REPEATED CALLS. YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT 2200 CALLS IN THAT FIRST YEAR OF
IMPLEMENTATION. 
          HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE DUPLICATE TO THE SAME INDIVIDUALS? I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGER ROOT OF THE PROBLEM,
IS TRYING TO GET THE HELP TO THOSE WHO SOMETIMES JUST REFUSE THAT SERVICE. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GETTING AT. BUT IF WE CAN AT LEAST START WITH JUST GETTING
THOSE CONTACT INFORMATION TO CHAIR JOHNSON, I'VE BEEN CONTACTING KEVIN OLDHAM AND AGAIN,
CHIEF HAS BEEN GREAT. 
          I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH EVERYONE, BUT I NEED THE RESULTS. 
          SO IF IT'S SOME NEW NUMBERS THAT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN BECAUSE YOUR TEAM,
KEVIN, I'M GONNA SAY THIS HAVE BEEN GREAT. 
          YOU YOU'VE RESPONDED BUT HOLISTICALLY AND I WANT I HOPE I'M SAYING THAT CLEARLY,
HOLISTICALLY. 
          IT'S STILL THE SAME PROBLEMS BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS AFTER THEY CLEAN UP. 
          IT COMES RIGHT BACK. SO I NEED SOME REAL SUPPORT. 
          SO HOLISTICALLY, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IN IN DISTRICT FOUR SO WE CAN HAVE A SAFE COMMUNITY
BECAUSE THERE ARE THERE ARE ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO SOME OF THE VIOLENCE THAT WE ARE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE IN DISTRICT FOUR. 
          SO CAN YOU ANSWER THAT? THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU AGAIN,
MAYOR PRO TEM YES. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR FOR THE QUESTION. AND OBVIOUSLY MY,
MY GROUP IS NOT AN ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, RIGHT? SO WE, WE DO WORK WITH WHEN APPLICABLE WITH MARSHALS AND DPD AND OTHERS ON ANY
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TOPIC AREAS. 
          WHAT I, WHAT I'D OFFER TO, TO CHAIR JOHNSON IS THE EXACT SAME THING. 
          I, I HAD A MEETING IN IN COUNCIL MEMBER ROTH'S DISTRICT LAST WEEK. 
          IF WE CAN START WITH DEFINING WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AND I'M HAPPY TO COME DOWN AND LET'S
LET'S DEFINE THAT FIRST THING. 
          WHAT IS SUCCESS? LET'S BUILD A PLAN OF RESOURCES THAT WE CAN ALLOCATE THAT WILL HELP US
GET TO THAT SUCCESS LEVEL. 
          AND SO TOTALLY HAPPY TO DO THAT. DO IT THIS WEEK,
DO IT NEXT WEEK WHENEVER LET'S GET THAT MAPPED OUT AND DEFINED AND THEN PUT TOGETHER THE PIECES IN PLACE. AND TRY TO POSITIVELY AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT THAT,
THAT CHAIR JOHNSON IS, IS ARTICULATING. THANK YOU. AND I'VE, I'VE SENT EMAILS AND VIDEOS AND PICTURES WITH THE
CHIEF ARTIST KNOWS THAT AND I HAVE SOME MORE. 
          SO WHATEVER I NEED TO DO, I'M SENDING THE VIDEOS. 
          SO YOU GUYS SEE IT IN REAL TIME THAT IT'S HAPPENING. 
          SO JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN,
IT'S A, IT'S A PROBLEM AND I'M NOT GETTING THE RESULTS THAT NEED THAT WE'RE NEEDING HOLISTICALLY. SO THE ENFORCEMENT GROUP WHO, ALL THOSE GROUPS ARE CHIEF ARTISTS BECAUSE I
DON'T KNOW EVERYONE THAT'S INVOLVED IN THOSE GROUPS, BUT WE NEED THAT SUPPORT. 
          AGAIN, THE SAME THING THAT'S HAPPENING IN DOWNTOWN. I WANT THAT SAME RESULT AND THAT SAME
ENERGY IN DISTRICT FOUR. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN, FOR YOUR COMMENTS. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING REALLY DILIGENTLY ON IS MAINTAINING SITE CLOSURES. 
          WE REALIZE THAT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS FOR US. 
          WE CAN CLEAR SITE, WE CAN CLEAN THE SITE, BUT IF WE DON'T MAINTAIN THEM CLOSE,
THAT'S WHEN FOLKS COME BACK. 
          AND THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE THE PROBLEM, RECIDIVISM AND ALL THAT. 
          AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON A PLAN TO ADJUST THAT PART OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS WE'RE ADJUSTING BECAUSE AS WE ADJUST,
OTHERS ADJUST. 
          AND SO WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD IN WAYS THAT ALLOW NOT ONLY THE,
THE ECOSYSTEM OF PUBLIC SAFETY, BUT OUR OUTSIDE PARTNERS THAT ARE ALSO PARTNERING WITH US ON THIS ISSUE TO BRING SOMETHING
TO THE TABLE, TO ALSO HAVE AN EFFECTIVE PLAN FOR EACH AREA. 
          AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT. DEFINITELY SHARE IT WITH YOUR OFFICE'S OFFICE WILL WORK
WITH YOU, AS WELL AS MYSELF AND ALL OF OUR TEAMS TO TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT THAT YOU SEE. 
          THANK YOU. CHARITYEVENTS COUNCIL MEMBER ROTH THANK YOU,
CHAIR. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THIS IS REALLY ENLIGHTENING TO ME. 
          I'M, I'M VERY MUCH INTRIGUED BY THE EXPANSION OF THE ADOLESCENT SERVICES. 
          I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE TARGETED AUDIENCE THAT YOU'RE COVERING NOW IS TEN YEAR
OLDS TO 18 YEAR OLDS. 
          IS THAT PRETTY MUCH THE THE TARGET? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          YEAH. 10 TO 17. AND SO MY QUESTION IS, IS AND AGAIN,
I'M NOT I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT IS WHAT KIND OF CRISIS INTERVENTIONS, WHAT KIND OF CRISIS ISSUES ARE ARE YOU GETTING FROM A MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM POINT OF VIEW
WITH THAT YOUNGER AGE GROUP? AND HOW DO YOU. AND THEN SECOND OF ALL, WHAT IS YOUR YOUR ACTION? 
          [01:05:01]
WHAT IS YOUR THERAPY? WHAT IS YOUR YOUR RESPONSE? HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT IN THAT AGE GROUP? NUMBER ONE,
WHAT IS THE ISSUES? NUMBER TWO, HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO IT? AND NUMBER THREE,
WHAT'S THE INTERACTION WITH THE ABILITY FOR FOR YOU ALL TO TAKE UNILATERAL ACTION WITHOUT APPROVAL OR OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY THE GUARDIAN,
THE PARENT, THE, THE ADULT IN THAT'S, THAT'S AUTHORIZING SO-CALLED MEDICAL TREATMENT OR WHATEVER TREATMENT. 
          YEAH. VERY GOOD QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. LET ME START WITH THE LAST ONE THERE. 
          YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD TO RUN THROUGH WITH OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT
FIRST, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE THINKING OF EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO. SO WE SPENT MONTHS DOING THINGS LIKE THAT. SO OBVIOUSLY IF A PARENTAL GUARDIANSHIP,
IF THOSE FOLKS ARE ON BOARD THAT MAKES IT A LOT. 
          EVERYBODY'S KIND OF MOVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THAT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER. SO WITH THAT
AGE GROUP, ESPECIALLY THAT LOWER AGE GROUP, IT CAN BE ALL KINDS OF THINGS THESE DAYS,
PROBABLY MORE THAN WHAT YOU'D PROBABLY EXPECT, BUT IT CAN BE SUICIDAL FOLKS. IT CAN BE FAMILY CONFLICT. 
          IT CAN BE SUBSTANCE USE. IT CAN BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          CONFLICT FROM SCHOOL CAN BE BULLYING ALL KINDS OF ISSUES. 
          SO HOW, WHAT TOOLS DO WE USE TO KIND OF ADDRESS THOSE? SO ONE, WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH D ISD AND WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD CONNECTION WITH THEM. 
          AND IT'S REALLY WORKED OUT REALLY WELL SO FAR WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO CONTACT THEIR MENTAL
HEALTH TEAM AND DO AN IMMEDIATE LIKE REFERRAL WARM HANDOFF TO THEM IF IT'S A D ISD STUDENT. AND SO FAR IT'S BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY WELL. 
          WE ALSO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH METRO CARE AND A LOT OF OTHER MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS AND
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE CHILD AND FAMILY GUIDANCE CENTER SOUTHERN AREA BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, ALL THOSE FOLKS AND THEY, THEY HELP US TO GET KIDS SEEN AS WELL. 
          SO WE CAN WE CAN LIKE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. WE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE THEM TO AN APPOINTMENT. 
          ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF TO INTERVENE AS NECESSARY. 
          IF WE FEEL LIKE IT'S A DANGEROUS ENOUGH SITUATION,
WE'LL TAKE THEM TO THE HOSPITAL USING AN EMERGENCY DETENTION OR PARENTS SIGNING THEM INVOLUNTARILY. THANK YOU TO FOLLOW UP THOUGH,
AND WHICH IS VERY INTERESTING TO ME IS THIS REALLY ALLOWS US TO MAYBE LEVERAGE OUR COLLABORATION WITH, WITH SOME OTHER INSTITUTIONS. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT BUDGET ITEMS VERY CLOSELY. WE'RE LOOKING AT COLLABORATIONS WITH WITH
OTHER PARTNERS IN THE GOVERNMENTAL AND IN THE NONPROFIT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR. AND THE FACT THAT THAT THIS PARTICULAR INITIATIVE REALLY MAY ORIGINATE IN LARGE
PART THROUGH THE SCHOOLS IS VERY INTRIGUING TO ME THAT YOU CAN UTILIZE COUNSELORS, THAT YOU CAN UTILIZE LEVERAGE THE THE SORT OF THE EYES AND EARS OF A
NON-FAMILY SITUATION AS A RESOURCE IS, I THINK, SOMETHING WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE. I WANT TO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT NOT IN A BAD WAY. 
          I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW DO WE FUND AND FIND THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND THE PARTNERSHIPS
TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AND TO EXPAND OR, OR AT LEAST MAINTAIN A THIS KIND OF A SERVICE IN THE BUDGET SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN. 
          AND I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE OUR TEAM, NOT ONLY OUR COUNCIL TEAM,
BUT BUT, BUT YOU ALL FOLKS TO HELP US FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN COLLABORATE, HOW WE CAN LEVERAGE OTHER RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO
FINANCIALLY AND, AND PERSONNEL WISE SORT OF GET THIS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO HAVE LEGS AND TO BE ABLE TO BE SUSTAINABLE. BECAUSE THIS IS IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND
RESOURCES RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NEED. THE NEED IS THERE. 
          BUT WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IT. 
          AND, AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD,
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. 
          YOUR GROUP'S INFO INPUT ON HOW SHOULD WE MANAGE AND COLLABORATE THIS IN A COST EFFECTIVE
BASIS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE? THANK YOU. I'LL JUST RESPOND VERY BRIEFLY. 
          SO THE FIRST THING THAT I THAT I WANT TO SAY AND THANK IS,
IS PARKLAND, RIGHT? THEY PROVIDE THEIR LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS TO US AT NO COST TO THE CITY. 
          AND THEY'VE DONE THAT FROM ONE TEAM ALL THE WAY TO 18 TEAMS. THE OTHER RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE ON THE RIGHT CARE PROGRAM AND THE MEDIC PROGRAM,
THOSE ARE ON DUTY RESOURCES. 
          SO THEY WOULD BE IN STATIONS ANSWERING OTHER CALLS FOR SERVICE. 
          IT JUST HAPPENS THAT WE FOCUSED THESE RESOURCES ON THESE CALLS SO THAT OTHER SCARCE
RESOURCES ARE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE. 
          TO THE OTHER SUITE OF CALLS. THE ONLY REAL NON ON DUTY COST IS JUST THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
PROGRAM, 
          [01:10:04]
WHICH IS THROUGH MY DEPARTMENT. AND WE'VE DONE THAT FOREVER SINCE THE START. 
          I CAN SHARE WITH YOU AFTERWARDS SOME OF THE GREAT FIGHTS WE HAD OVER WHO WAS GOING TO
DRIVE THE CAR. 
          BACK IN THE DAY. SO KIND OF HAVING THAT NEUTRAL PARTY CALLING BALLS AND STRIKES ON THINGS
HAS BEEN BENEFICIAL FROM THE START, BUT CERTAINLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. AND IF THERE'S A DEEPER,
YOU WANT TO DIVE INTO THE NUMBERS OR ANYTHING. 
          ALWAYS HAPPY TO DO THAT WITH YOU, SIR. THANK YOU,
KEVIN, FOR, FOR YOUR EXPLANATION. 
          AND ALSO I WANT TO THANK ALL, ALL OF YOU, ALL FOR THE GREAT EFFORT YOU'RE MAKING IN THE
COMMUNITY. 
          WITH THE LIMITED RESOURCES THAT YOU ALL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REALLY PROMOTE AND HELP
US ALL. 
          I'M SENSITIVE TO TO COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON'S CONCERNS,
AS WE ALL ARE. 
          FOR ALL OF OUR PARTICULAR DISTRICTS, WE'VE GOT TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN,
BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL HAVE THE RESOURCES TO TO ADEQUATELY TAKE CARE OF ALL OF US IN THE PROPER WAY. SO THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          THANK YOU. CHAIR STEWART. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM OKAY. 
          JUST LET'S STAY ON ADOLESCENTS FOR JUST A SECOND. 
          ARE WE WORKING WITH ALL OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE CITY OF DALLAS OR JUST
DISD? RIGHT NOW IT'S DISD IS THE MAIN PARTNERSHIP. IF THERE ARE OTHERS,
WE WILL HAPPILY REACH OUT. 
          RICHARDSON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THE ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MY DISTRICT. 
          GOT IT. OKAY. SO I PLEASE REACH OUT. WE HAVE A LOT OF ADOLESCENTS WHO PROBABLY COULD USE
THIS SAFETY NET IS WHAT I HOW I SEE IT. 
          BUT THERE ARE OTHER THERE, I BELIEVE PLANO. I'LL GET YOU A LIST OF ALL THE DIFFERENT ISDS
IN THE CITY. 
          OKAY THEN TO WHAT CHAIR JOHNSON SO ELOQUENTLY LAID OUT. 
          WE GET CONFUSED. I MEAN, WE ARE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND WE GET WE CAN SOMETIMES BE ON THE
FRONT LINES OF THESE QUESTIONS AND ISSUES AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM. RIGHT. AND SO FOR THE RIGHT CARE TEAM DESCRIBE FOR ME WHAT QUALIFIES,
WHEN SHOULD, AND WHEN I CALL, I'M ASSUMING I CALL 911. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO, TO, TO ACCESS YOU GUYS. 
          OKAY. YES. SO FOR A RESIDENT TO GET A RIGHT CARE TEAM,
YOU WOULD CALL 911. 
          IN FACT, WE DO ALL I THINK HAVE RECEIVED OUTSIDE REQUESTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE REQUESTING
RIGHT CARE. 
          BUT IF YOU WERE TO CALL 911 THEY WOULD. MEET WITH A A CALL TAKER WHO THEN WOULD ASK A SERIES OF QUESTIONS AND DETERMINE IF THE CALL IS IN FACT A MENTAL HEALTH CALL. 
          ONCE THAT CALL IS LABELED A MENTAL HEALTH CALL,
THEN YOU KNOW, THE TEAMS ARE DISPATCHED TO THOSE, THOSE CALLS, BUT THERE ARE A SERIES OF QUESTIONS THAT TAKES PLACE TO,
TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY AT THE START OF THE CALL THAT IT IS A MENTAL HEALTH CALL BECAUSE I'VE MADE THAT CALL A FEW TIMES AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE JUST SOME CRAZY BEHAVIORS THAT WE SEE. 
          AND FOR EXAMPLE, I HAD A PERSON STAGGERING BETWEEN LANES WALKING OPPOSITE THE FLOW OF
TRAFFIC ON WALNUT HILL ONE DAY. 
          AND THAT SEEMED TO QUALIFY FOR ME. I DID GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND THE PERSON JUST KEPT
SAYING, WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT? AND I SAID THAT THEY WILL GET HIT BY A CAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE
NO SENSE OF, THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY SENSE OF, OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING. SO BUT THAT SO THAT'S A,
I KNOW IT SEEMS, IT SEEMS NARROW FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. AND I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE CALLS,
BUT WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS GOING ON IN OUR DISTRICTS. 
          OKAY. WE ALSO HAVE ENCAMPMENTS THAT AND PEOPLE WHO ARE PANHANDLING AND ALL OF THOSE
THINGS. 
          AND SO NONE OF THAT IS QUALIFYING FOR RIGHT CARE,
RIGHT CARE REALLY. 
          YOU HAVE TO FROM YOUR, THE THE WAY YOUR MIND PROCESSES INFORMATION,
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS A MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY. CORRECT. SO I'LL, I'LL TAKE THAT RIGHT. 
          CARE CRISIS INTERVENTION AND THE MEDIC TEAMS DO FREQUENTLY SUPPORT OUR DALLAS STREET
RESPONSE TEAM, WHICH IS REALLY MY DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY'S FRONT LINE TO UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS. 
          SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT A COUNCIL MEMBER CAN ACCESS. 
          HOW WOULD A COUNCIL MEMBER ACCESS THAT? WHO WOULD I GO TO TO ASK FOR THAT INTERVENTION AT
A ENCAMPMENT? IF THERE WERE REASONS TO REPORT THAT BEHAVIOR TO 911. 
          THAT WOULD BE THAT THE RIGHT CARE TEAM WOULD GENERALLY RESPOND TO THAT ALONGSIDE PATROL OR
THE MEDIC TEAM OR OTHERWISE. 
          IF IT'S THE NUISANCE OF AN ENCAMPMENT OR THE PRESENCE OF AN ENCAMPMENT,
BUT THERE'S NOT VIOLENCE OR WEAPONS OR A REASON TO CALL 911, 
          [01:15:03]
THE APPROPRIATE IS THE THE 311 SYSTEM, AND THEN THE STREET RESPONSE TEAM WILL ASSESS THAT, DETERMINE WHAT OTHER NEEDS EXIST, WHERE THEY MAY NEED A RIGHT CARE TEAM TO COME ASSIST
THEM. 
          THE MAIN THING THAT I DO WANT TO COMMUNICATE TO THE,
TO THE BODY IS THESE CRISIS RESPONSE PROGRAMS ARE THEY'RE SECONDARY TO WHAT WE DO ON THE UNSHELTERED HOMELESS SIDE,
BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY RESOURCES THAT GO TO UNSHELTERED. 
          WE DO NOT HAVE NEARLY ONE TENTH OF 1% OF THE RESOURCES WE NEED TO SERVE OUR HOUSE
POPULATION, WHO ALSO HAVE INCREDIBLY COMPLEX NEEDS, ROOT CAUSE ISSUES,
PAST TRAUMA. 
          AND SO THESE TEAMS THAT YOU SEE HERE PART OF OUR REAL FOCUS IS,
IS THAT POPULATION. 
          THEY'RE MORE DESIGNED FOR, NOT FOR THE RENT. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THEY CAN'T. 
          IT'S TO SAY THAT IF WE GOT FULL IN ON SOLVING ISSUES WITH THE UNSHELTERED,
WE WOULD NEVER HELP OUR HOUSE POPULATION. 
          WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES AND PARTNERSHIPS ON THAT OTHER SIDE,
THANKS TO FOLKS LIKE HOUSING FORWARD AND OTHERS THAT WE DO TAP INTO. 
          AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY WE DON'T USE THESE TEAMS. HOWEVER, WE'RE TRYING TO TO SPREAD THE PROVERBIAL PEANUT BUTTER AS FAR AS WE CAN TO HELP
AS MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS AS. 
          I THINK WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IS I JUST NEED THE ANALYSIS. 
          I MEAN, I'VE GOT A SITUATION AND I NEED TO LOOK AT A,
AT A FLOW CHART OR SOMETHING THAT SAYS, IF IT'S THIS, IT'S HERE, IF IT'S THIS AND THIS,
IT'S THERE. 
          AND THEN FOR EXAMPLE, IF I HAVE A COTTONWOOD CREEK TRAIL,
WHICH THAT ENCAMPMENT HAS BEEN CLOSED. 
          HEAR ME NOW. IT HAS BEEN CLOSED. HOWEVER, WE FORGOT TO TELL CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT IT WAS
CLOSED AND IT CONTINUES TO. 
          WE STILL HAVE OUR 11 TO 15 PEOPLE SITTING ALONG THE WALL AND THE TWO GUYS UNDER THE
BRIDGE. 
          SO THAT I BELIEVE IS A ENCAMPMENT OR A CLOSURE. 
          ENFORCEMENT IS WHAT WE NEED, RIGHT? AND I'M SORRY,
WE'RE BLEEDING IN HERE. 
          AND MAYBE THIS IS ANOTHER. I NEED TO BRING MY HOUSING PRESENTATION OVER HERE. 
          I MEAN, PROVIDED THE INDIVIDUALS ARE VIOLATING A STATE LAW OR A CITY CODE ORDINANCE THAT
COULD BE GROUNDS FOR ESCALATED ENFORCEMENT. 
          YES. BUT I WOULD SAY JUST SITTING LIKE ON A BENCH OR ON THE SIDE,
THAT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT. 
          SO AT ITS FACE VALUE BE AN ENFORCEABLE ACTIVITY. 
          AFTER 11 P.M., A TRAILER, A PARK IS CLOSED AND THEY'RE SITTING ON THE WALL. 
          WE CAN DEBATE THIS ANOTHER TIME. MY CONCERN IS IT'S WE'RE JUST WE'VE GOT SOME GRAY AREAS
AND YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE UP HERE WHO ARE. 
          I KNOW YOU DON'T SEE US AS FRONT LINES, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO COMES TO OUR DISTRICTS,
WE ARE FRONT LINES. 
          WE'RE GETTING THE EMAILS. I'VE GOT ONE. I GOT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE I WALKED IN HERE,
GREENVILLE AND LBJ, A COUPLE AND THEIR DOG KEEP GOING INTO THIS MAN'S PROPERTY. 
          SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY JUST RACKING OUR BRAINS. 
          WELL, WELL, WHO DO I CALL THIS TIME? BECAUSE THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          WHO DO I CALL THIS TIME? BECAUSE HE'S IN THE ROAD. 
          HE'S NOT REALLY IN AN ENCAMPMENT. I MEAN, IT'S JUST LIFE IS COMPLICATED. 
          AND I THINK YOU GUYS KNOW THAT. AND WE. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED A PRESENTATION AS MUCH
AS. 
          WE JUST NEED MAYBE A A FLOWCHART. I KEEP SAYING THAT,
BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HELPS US MAKE THE DECISIONS. 
          YES, SIR. WELL MY NAME IS ROBERT. I'M THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR DALLAS 911. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONFUSION AND THE NEED TO REALLY
DELINEATE THIS. 
          ONE OF THE SIMPLEST WAYS TO PUT THIS IS THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR
OTHERS, CALL 911. WE WILL MAKE THE ASSESSMENT THROUGH THE 911 CALL TAKERS ON WHETHER WE'RE GOING
TO HANDLE IT AS A MENTAL HEALTH ONLY CALL AND THEN WORK WITH TABITHA'S AND KEVIN'S TEAM ON DOING FURTHER EVALUATION ON THAT. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY, IF THEY'RE A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS,
PLEASE CALL 911. 
          YES. AND THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE A LITTLE MORE IN A
GRAY AREA. 
          AND I TURN IN THREE ONE, ONE REQUESTS ALL THE TIME. 
          BUT I WILL TELL YOU, IN CERTAIN CASES, AS A COUNCIL MEMBER,
I'M NOT TURNING IN 311. 
          I WANT TO TALK TO DOCTOR MARCY JACKSON BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN GET SOME HELP FROM HER. 
          RIGHT? I, I BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO TO CALL IN SOME OF THESE SITUATIONS. 
          AND YES, IT'S 911 WHEN THERE'S DANGER. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS THAT. IN FACT, PROBABLY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT,
IT'S NOT 911 AND WE JUST NEED A ROADMAP. 
          [01:20:02]
THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO. I KNOW I CAN'T SAY THAT ANYMORE. 
          I'LL JUST BE QUIET. SORRY. COUNCIL MEMBER CADENA. 
          WELL, I I'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE NOW AND I REMEMBER WHEN WE WOULD JUST CALL 911 FOR
ENCAMPMENTS. 
          AND SO I REMEMBER WHEN WE ACTUALLY, WHEN THE COUNCIL CREATED THE RIGHT CARE TEAM. 
          AND SO IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE THAT DPD AND DFR HAVE A LOT MORE RESOURCES THAN WE USED TO
HAVE. 
          AND WE'RE LOOKING AT CARE FOR OUR, OUR UNSHELTERED POPULATION,
I THINK IN A MORE COMPASSIONATE WAY AND OFFERING THEM SERVICES. 
          BUT I DO ALSO HEAR COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON'S CONCERN IN THAT. 
          I KNOW AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE FOCUSING ON CERTAIN AREAS LIKE DOWNTOWN. 
          I KNOW IN WEST DALLAS, WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN OUR UNHOUSED POPULATION WITH DIFFERENT
ISSUES AND ALSO IN THE DESIGN DISTRICT. 
          I THINK Y'ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH JOE'S CREEK AS WELL. 
          AND SO I THINK YOU KNOW, JUST HELPING TO EDUCATE OUR RESIDENTS ON HOW THEY CAN ACCESS
THESE RESOURCES. 
          SOMETIMES CODE IS INVOLVED, I KNOW. I THINK THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT AT JOE'S CREEK ALSO
INVOLVED CODE AS WELL. 
          SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A SUPER IMPORTANT PIECE AS WELL THAT WE HELP OUR RESIDENTS KNOW HOW
TO ACCESS AS WELL. 
          AND, AND ALSO FOR US, RIGHT. AS WE SEE I THINK SHIFTS IN OUR DISTRICT,
BUT I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE, BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT IMPROVEMENT FROM EIGHT YEARS AGO WHEN I. 
          I REMEMBER WE BEGAN THIS JOURNEY. THANK YOU. SO I WILL SAY THERE HAS BEEN GREAT STRIDES
THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. 
          WE KNOW THAT HOMELESSNESS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE. 
          NAVIGATING THIS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE. AND I, AND I SINCERELY HEAR THE FRUSTRATIONS ON THE,
MY COLLEAGUES, INCLUDING MYSELF, SOMETIMES NOT KNOWING WHICH DEPARTMENT TO CONTACT,
WHICH LEAD TO CONTACT. 
          BUT I THINK THAT SAYS A LOT. I THINK THAT SAYS THAT OUR CITY MANAGER HAS SEEN THE URGENCY
AND THE NEED, AND IS TRYING TO INTERWEAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TO TRY TO SOLVE FOR THIS ISSUE
THAT WE ALL HAVE IN ALL OUR DISTRICTS. YOU KNOW, JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND,
WE HAVE A A GUY THAT'S UNDRESSED HANGING ON ELECTRICAL WIRES. 
          SO YES, THAT'S AN IMMEDIATE DANGER FOR 911. BUT WE NEED TO GO DEEPER THAN THAT. 
          RIGHT. IT'S REALLY A MENTAL HEALTH CALL THAT THERE'S SOMETHING DEEPER GOING ON THERE. 
          AND SO TO THE POINT OF OF CATHY IS, YES, THAT INITIAL FIRST TIME IT'S A 911 CALL,
BUT MORE THAN LIKELY THAT INDIVIDUAL IS GOING TO RETURN TO THAT SAME AREA. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, FOLLOWING UP WITH THAT. THE, THE RIGHT DEPARTMENT. 
          AND SO CHIEF ARTIST, I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD AT LEAST FROM FIVE OF US ON OUR CONCERNS WITH THE
ISSUES THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. 
          AND SO I HOPE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO TAKE THIS BACK TO OUR CITY MANAGER. 
          THANK YOU. YES. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. 
          AND I AGREE, IT CAN BE VERY CONFUSING AND FRUSTRATING NAVIGATING THE ROADMAP ON THESE
DIFFERENT ISSUES BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT GRAY IN SOME AREAS. AND SO WE'LL WORK TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS
YOU TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT AND KNOW WHO YOU'RE CALLING AND WHEN YOU'RE CALLING, WHAT WHAT YOU SHOULD CALL FOR AND WHO. 
          AND SO LET US WORK ON THAT. WE'LL DEFINITELY BRING SOMETHING BACK. 
          BUT WE DID WE HEAR THE, THE COMMENTS. I'LL DEFINITELY SHARE THIS WITH OUR CITY MANAGER AND
MY TEAM. 
          WE'LL COME BACK WITH THIS TEAM WITH SOMETHING TO SHOW HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. 
          JUST GIVE US A LITTLE TIME TO, TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER. 
          THANK YOU. CHAIR JOHNSON. YES. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU,
CHIEF. 
          CITY MANAGER HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE CONCERNING THIS. 
          AND SO SHE UNDERSTANDS THE FRUSTRATION AS WELL,
BUT SHE'S BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE TRYING TO HELP NAVIGATE THIS. 
          AND SO HAVE YOU. AND SO BUT WE, AGAIN, WE NEED THESE RESOURCES. 
          I KNOW WHAT MAYOR PRO TEM JUST ACTUALLY SAID. 
          I SAW THE VIDEO WHERE THE GENTLEMAN WAS, YOU KNOW,
DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT, BUT BUT THE HIGH TEAM THAT'S OUT WHEN WHEN THEY GO OUT DOWNTOWN, CHIEF, IF YOU GET THAT SAME RESOURCE OVER IN DISTRICT FOUR,
I GUARANTEE MY COMMUNITY WILL VERY WELL APPRECIATE IT AND SO WILL THE REST OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENT
TEAM DOWNTOWN. 
          IT'S JUST NOT THE HOT TEAM. JUST JUST TO BE CLEAR,
THE HOT TEAM IS A NEW TEAM THAT THE TEAM THE CHIEF IS WORKING ON THAT HE WANTS TO TAKE CITYWIDE. WE'RE UNDERSTANDING HOW TO FIT IT INTO THE ECOSYSTEM WITH THE ENCAMPMENTS,
WITH THE HOMELESS POPULATION, UNSHELTERED POPULATION, AND MAKE IT WORK. SO THIS IS STILL IN THE INFANCY STAGE. 
          [01:25:01]
WE'LL DEFINITELY BE BRINGING SOME BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO THIS BODY AS WELL AS TO THE FULL
COUNCIL. 
          ONCE WE WE GET INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION STAGE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT. I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND GO TO THE NEXT ITEM. 
          ITEM E. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M ASSISTANT CHIEF DEREK WILLIAMS. OUR SUPERINTENDENT, RIJINO LAWLESS, IS NOT GOING TO BE HERE. 
          SO MY MY FLEET MANAGER, JUDE MARTINEZ, IS HERE,
AND OUR ILLUSTRIOUS CHIEF IS RIDING SHOTGUN FOR US. 
          SO DURING THIS PRESENTATION, IT'S GOING TO BE DIVIDED INTO TWO DIFFERENT PARTS. 
          THE FIRST PART IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR FLEET AND OUR FLEET READINESS. 
          THEN THE SECOND PART WILL GO INTO OUR REFUELING OPERATIONS ON HOW WE PURCHASE OUR FUEL. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND. OUR FLEET,
WE'VE GOT 163 VEHICLES THAT ARE MAINTAINED BY FM. AND MOST OF THESE ARE OUR FIRE, OUR FIRE INSPECTORS AND OUR ARSON INVESTIGATOR
VEHICLES. 
          OUR INTERNAL FLEET MAINTENANCE DIVISION. WE HAVE A 485 VEHICLES THAT WE MAINTAIN
OURSELVES. 
          AND MOST OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE OUR HEAVY APPARATUS AS WELL AS OUR ANCILLARY AND OUR
SUPPORT VEHICLES. 
          SO AS WE GO THROUGH, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DEFINITIONS THAT I'LL THAT I'LL GIVE YOU. 
          ONE, WHEN YOU HEAR THE TERM FLEET, THAT'S THE STRATEGIC PROCESS THAT WE USE TO REMOVE OUR
VEHICLES FROM OUR FLEET. 
          ONCE THEY REACH A CERTAIN AGE, MILEAGE, OR A CONDITION SUCH AS THEY'VE REACHED THE END OF
THEIR LIFE, THEY'RE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR OR THE REPAIRS ARE TOO COSTLY AND IN COMPARISON TO THE VALUE
OF THE VEHICLE. 
          WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FRONTLINE DURING THIS, THOSE ARE OUR PRIMARY ACTIVE ACTIVELY USED
VEHICLES. 
          THEY'RE FULLY EQUIPPED APPARATUS. THEY ARE. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WHEN YOU DIAL 911,
THEY'RE GENERALLY GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONES THAT RESPOND TO SERVICE. 
          SO THESE VEHICLES ARE STAFFED AND ARE READY TO DEPLOY INSTANTLY. 
          OUR ANCILLARY VEHICLES, THEY'RE ALSO OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLES. 
          BUT THOSE ARE GOING TO BE OUR BATTALION CHIEFS,
OUR EMS FIELD SUPERVISORS AND OUR OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS. 
          I MEAN VEHICLES SUCH AS OUR HAZMAT AND OUR USAR VEHICLES. 
          WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RESERVES, THESE ARE GOING TO BE OUR RESERVE EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARE
STILL FULLY OUTFITTED. 
          AND WHEN WE SEND VEHICLES IN TO BE MAINTENANCED OR REPAIRED,
THIS IS WHERE WE PUT OUR MEMBERS ON SO THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE. AND THEN THE SUPPORT VEHICLES ARE GOING TO BE OTHER ONES SUCH AS
OUR VEHICLES, OUR MINI AMBULANCES, TRAIL UNITS, POLARIS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          NEXT FLEET, I MEAN, I'M SORRY. NEXT NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO THIS GIVES US OUR FLEET AGE. FROM THESE SLIDES,
THE FIRST CHART WILL SHOW THAT WE'VE GOT ABOUT 80 ENGINES. 
          WE HAVE 80 ENGINES IN OUR FLEET. AND OF THOSE 24 ARE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD. 
          27 ARE IN THAT 5 TO 10. AND THEN WE'VE GOT 29 THAT ARE TEN YEARS OR MORE. 
          OUR TRUCKS WE'VE GOT A WE'VE GOT FIVE OF THEM THAT ARE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD. 
          THE MAJORITY OF OUR TRUCKS ARE BETWEEN 5 AND 10 YEARS OLD. 
          AND THERE THERE'S 20 OF THOSE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT 13 THAT ARE OVER TEN YEARS OLD. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO OUR RESCUE'S OUR AMBULANCES, WE'VE GOT 96 IN OUR FLEET,
55 OF THEM. 
          OVER HALF OF THOSE ARE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD. 
          WE'VE GOT 36 OF THEM THAT ARE IN THAT 5 TO 10 YEAR RANGE,
AND WE ONLY HAVE FIVE THAT ARE OVER TEN YEARS OLD. 
          THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR ANCILLARY AND OUR SUPPORT VEHICLES,
WE'VE GOT 63 ANCILLARY VEHICLES. 
          THE MAJORITY OF THE ONLY TWO OF THOSE ARE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD. 
          25 OF THEM ARE IN THAT 5 TO 10 YEAR RANGE. AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THEM ARE OVER TEN
YEARS OLD. 
          OUR SUPPORT, WE'VE GOT 37 OF THEM THAT ARE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD,
33 THAT ARE WITHIN 5 TO 10. 
          AND THEN THE MAJORITY OF THEM, WHICH IS ALMOST HALF OF THEM THAT ARE OVER TEN YEARS OLD. 
          [01:30:02]
NEXT SLIDE. THEN OUR SPECIAL UNITS, WHICH ARE GOING TO BE OUR. 
          I'M SORRY. GO BACK ONE MORE. SLIDE SIX. THANK YOU. 
          SO OUR SPECIAL UNITS WHICH ARE GOING TO BE OUR HAZMAT USAR VEHICLES,
WE'VE GOT A TOTAL OF 37. 
          AND HALF OF THOSE ARE 10 TO 14 YEARS OLD. NEXT SLIDE. 
          NOW THIS IS A CHART THAT WE GENERALLY SEND YOU ONCE A MONTH WITH OUR WITH OUR MEMO. 
          THERE IS ONE CHANGE THAT YOU WILL NOTICE ON IT THAT OUR NUMBERS OF RESCUES HAVE WENT UP ON
THAT FOR OUR, FOR OUR OPTIMUM AND OUR CURRENT. AND THE REASON WHY IS WE,
WE REDEFINED OUR FRONT LINE TO NOT JUST INCLUDE THE AMBULANCES THAT ARE, ARE FULL TIME, BUT WE'RE ALSO INCLUDING OUR EIGHT SINGLE FUNCTION AND OUR 12 SPECIAL
EVENTS AMBULANCES AS PART OF OUR, AS PART OF OUR FULL TIME FRONTLINE AS WELL. SO THAT'S WHY THAT NUMBER GOES UP BY 20. 
          BUT THIS IS THE CHART THAT WE SEND YOU EVERY MONTH. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS CHART GIVES THIS SLIDE GIVES US BASICALLY THE REASONS WHY WE ARE EITHER PUTTING PEOPLE ON RESERVES OR EQUIPMENT IS NOT ACTIVELY RUNNING. 
          AND BASICALLY IT'S EITHER OUR PLANNED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. 
          THERE ARE SOME KIND OF BREAKDOWN WHICH WILL BE THE UNSCHEDULED MECHANICAL OR THERE'S
COLLISION PARTS. 
          AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME WARRANTY WORK THAT OUR SHOP DOESN'T DO THAT WE HAVE TO SEND OUT FOR
THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS SLIDE GIVES US WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE IN OUR ORDER PIPELINE BASED ON
THE FISCAL YEAR THAT THOSE PURCHASES ARE COMING FROM. 
          SO THESE PURCHASES WILL BE COMING FROM MULTI YEAR FIRM MULTI YEAR FUNDS. 
          SO WHAT WE'VE HAD SO FAR. OUR FINAL INSPECTION,
WHICH IS THE INSPECTION THAT WE DO JUST BEFORE THE VEHICLES ARE SHIPPED FOR US, TO US, OUR FINAL INSPECTIONS FOR OUR FY 24 ENGINES,
WHICH WERE EIGHT, I'M SORRY, NINE. 
          THAT WAS DONE ON FEBRUARY 23RD THROUGH THE 27TH. 
          AND THOSE ARE STARTING TO TO ROLL IN NOW. IN MID-MARCH,
WE DID OUR FINAL INSPECTION FOR THREE OF OUR FY 25 ENGINES. AND FROM APRIL 15TH WITH THIS WEEK,
WE'RE GOING TO GO AND WE'LL BE HAVING OUR FINAL INSPECTIONS FOR THE ADDITIONAL FIVE FOR FY 25, AS WELL AS OUR TWO MID-MOUNT TRUCKS THAT WERE PURCHASED WITH FY
24 FUNDS. 
          EARLY MAY, WE'LL BE DOING OUR FINAL INSPECTIONS FOR OUR FOR,
FOR FY 25 AMBULANCES AND SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SIX RESCUE THAT WILL BE DOING FINAL INSPECTIONS. 
          WE DO HAVE A HAZMAT UNIT THAT'S IN PRODUCTION,
AND WE WILL BE DOING THE FINAL INSPECTION ON IT SOMETIME IN FISCAL YEAR 27. AND THEN OUR FY 26 ENGINE IS GOING TO BE SOMETIME AFTER THE FISCAL YEAR AROUND
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER. NEXT SLIDE. SO THE NEXT GROUP OF SLIDES WILL COVER OUR FUEL PROGRAM AND HOW WE
REFUEL. 
          SO WE BASICALLY HAVE A IT'S A, A HYBRID SYSTEM WHERE WE HAVE OUR STATION BASED FUEL FOR
OUR DIESEL, WHICH IS WHAT OUR ENGINES RUN ENGINES,
TRUCKS, AMBULANCES RUN ON. 
          WE ALSO HAVE 11 STATIONS THAT HAVE UNLEADED FUEL. 
          AND THIS IS FOR NOT ONLY OUR, OUR SUPPORT VEHICLES,
BUT ALSO THINGS SUCH AS LAWN MOWERS, GENERATORS AND CHAINSAWS. 
          OUR FUEL DELIVERIES AND OUR PUMP MAINTENANCE ARE ARE HANDLED BY FM. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO THE CHART YOU SEE NOW THIS IS DATA THAT THAT COMPARES WHAT WE CURRENTLY PAY VERSUS WHAT WE COULD PAY IF WE WENT OUT AND ON THE PRIVATE MARKET. 
          SO THE DATA COMES FROM FRED, WHICH IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE ECONOMIC DATA,
WHICH IS AN ONLINE DATABASE THAT HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF, OF DATA POINTS WHERE THEY ARE TRACKING ALL KINDS OF ECONOMIC DATA. 
          AND WHAT YOU WILL SEE FROM THIS CHART OVER FY 24 HOUR AVERAGE COST THAT WE'RE PAYING FM IS
$2.61, WHERE IF WE HAD TO WIN ON THE ECONOMY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN $3.46. 
          [01:35:05]
AND UNLEADED. OUR AVERAGE COST WAS $2.35 THROUGH FM. 
          WE'RE GOING ON TO THE ECONOMY. IT WOULD BE $2.83. 
          NOW WITH THIS WE DO GET CHARGED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS CHARGED A 36 MARK $0.30 MARKUP
PER GALLON BY FM, AND THAT'S FOR DELIVERY. FOR MAINTENANCE OF OUR PUMPS FOR CAPITAL EXPENSES AND FY 24. 
          AND IN FY 25 THAT WENT UP TO $0.42 PER GALLON. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO WE DID DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE WE CAME HERE TO JUST TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE DOING THIS IN THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WAY. SO WHAT WE DID FIND THAT THE WAY WE'RE DOING IT WITH OUR
STATION BASED FUELING, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR, OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, OUR HEAVY APPARATUS IS KIND OF INDUSTRY
STANDARD. 
          ON SITE PUMPS THERE 24 OVER SEVEN AVAILABILITY. 
          MOST OF THEM WILL HAVE A BULK DELIVERY CONTRACT,
WHICH WE'RE SAVING ON THE COST OF FUEL. 
          WE DO HAVE CONTROLS IN PLACE, SUCH AS TANK MONITORING,
ACCESS CONTROLS, AND WE DO RECONCILE AT THE END OF EVERY MONTH. 
          ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS, WHENEVER THERE'S LARGE SCALE EMERGENCIES,
IF WE'RE NOT, DON'T HAVE THEM AT THE STATION, THEN WE'RE COMPETING WITH FUEL WITH EVERYBODY ELSE. 
          AND, AND THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO BE LIMITED STATIONS IF IN THE IMPACT AREA. 
          SO WE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT WERE OUT THERE. AND WE SAW THAT SOME PLACES
USE THINGS SUCH AS FLEET CARS, ZONE STATIONS AND PRIVATE CONTRACTS WITH GAS STATIONS. 
          BUT MOST OF THESE WERE YOUR, YOUR SMALLER ENTITIES. 
          NOW WITH US. WHEN I SAID WE WERE HYBRID BECAUSE WE DO ZONE OUR UNLEADED FUEL,
WE DO NOT HAVE UNLEADED FUEL AT EVERY STATION. 
          THERE'S ONLY 11 OF THOSE. NEXT SLIDE. SO SOME OF THE OTHER PROS FOR OUR STATION BASED
FUELING IS THAT ONE. EVERY MORNING WE HAVE A POLICY WHERE AT THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK,
NO VEHICLE, NO EMERGENCY APPARATUS SHOULD BE LESS THAN THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK. SO AT SHIFT CHANGE,
IF WE DID NOT HAVE SHIFT BASE, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE APPARATUS THAT ARE LEAVING THEIR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA TO
GO ELSEWHERE TO TRY TO HAVE FUEL. 
          SO NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A MAD RUSH OF FUEL DELIVERIES OR FUEL FILLING,
FILLING UP EVERY EVERY MORNING. 
          THE OTHER THING THAT IT REDUCES OUR OUT-OF-SERVICE TIME,
EVEN IN GENERAL THINGS BECAUSE THEY CAN MAKE A RUN. 
          FIGHT FIRE, MAKE EMERGENCY RUNS, COME BACK TO THE STATION AND THEY'RE RIGHT THERE. 
          AND THEY CAN FUEL WHILE THEY'RE STILL REMAINING IN SERVICE,
RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO ACROSS TO ANOTHER STATION OR ANOTHER DIFFERENT DISTRICT TO DELIVER FUEL. IT ALSO GIVES US BUDGET PREDICTABILITY BECAUSE WE'RE PAYING FM A FLAT RATE
AND THEY'RE GETTING A BULK PURCHASE FOR OUR FUEL. 
          AND IT ALSO GIVES US THAT REDUNDANCY IN CASE OF IN CASE OF DISASTERS,
BECAUSE IF ONE STATION IS OUT, WE CAN ALWAYS GO TO ANOTHER STATION. NOW, THERE ARE SOME CONS WHERE WE DO HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN OUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE, WHICH WE DO THAT BY HAVING SPILL KITS AT EVERY STATION. 
          AND WE DO WE DO HAVE AUDITS FOR THAT. THERE IS A CAPITAL RENEWAL WHERE YOU DO HAVE TO
MAINTAIN THE, THE PUMPS, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE ADDITIONAL CHARGE THAT WE PAY TO FM. 
          THEY MAINTAIN THAT THAT FORCE AND KEEP OUR PUMPS RUNNING. 
          SO THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A POSSIBILITY OF SHRINKAGE OR THEFT LOSS,
BUT WE DO HAVE CONTROLS IN PLACE FOR THAT LOCKS ON OUR TANKS REGULARLY RECONCILIATION EVERY MONTH TO PREVENT THAT. 
          NEXT SLIDE. NOW WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT FUEL CALLS,
FUEL CARDS. 
          THEY DO ALLOW A LOT OF REPORTING. THEY DO HAVE SOME BUILT IN CONTROLS,
BUT SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH THERE IS LIKE WITH A LOT OF THE THE CREDIT CARDS, THERE IS A FRAUD RISK. THERE'S ALSO THE,
THE POSSIBILITY OF UNAVAILABILITY BECAUSE IF THE STATION IS DOWN OR THE STATION IS CLOSED OR THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HIT IT,
THEN THAT STATION IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR US TO FUEL AND WE'RE COMPETING AGAINST EVERYBODY ELSE'S TRYING TO GET TO GET FUEL AT THOSE STATIONS. 
          THERE'S ALSO SOME RETAIL PRICE VARIABILITY BECAUSE WE ARE WE WOULD BE USING THE THE MARKET
RATE. 
          SO WE'D BE PAYING WHATEVER'S AT THE PUMP ON THAT DAY. 
          THERE'S A HIGH LIKELIHOOD, AS WE'VE SHOWN OVER THE LAST TWO FISCAL YEARS,
THAT WE'LL BE PAYING A HIGHER PRICE PER GALLON VERSUS OUR OUR BUCK DELIVERY. NOW, THIS IS NOT A BIG AS BIG OF A DEAL WITH SOME OF OUR LOW UTILIZATION
VEHICLES, 
          [01:40:01]
BUT MOST OF THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE UNLEADED. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE STILL HAVE OUR ZONE INSTEAD OF HAVING UNLEADED AT EVERY STATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE. SO AS WE AS WE EVALUATED AND WE LOOKED AT IT,
WE DID WE DID THINK THAT OUR ON SITE FUELING FOR OUR FRONTLINE APPARATUS,
ENGINES, TRUCKS, AMBULANCES, SPECIAL RESPONSE VEHICLES, BECAUSE OF THE AVAILABILITY AND THE SURGE CAPACITY AND OUR ABILITY TO STAY IN SERVICE AND
TO REDUCE OUR OUT-OF-SERVICE TIMES AND TO MAINTAIN OUR OUR RESPONSE TIME, WE FOUND THAT THAT WAS THE BEST WAY FOR US. 
          WE DID SAY WE COULD LOOK AT EVALUATING LOW VOLUME STATIONS FOR CONSOLIDATION,
BUT ONLY IF OUR MODELING SHOWS THAT THAT DOESN'T AFFECT OUR RESPONSE TIME, BECAUSE ONE OF OUR ISSUES IS SOME OF OUR LOW VOLUME STATIONS ARE SOME OF
OUR ONES THAT ARE OUT OUTLIERS LIKE 58, 12 AND NINES. SO NOW IF THEY'RE HAVING TO GET FUEL,
WE'RE PULLING THEM OUT OF THEIR DISTRICT. 
          WE DID LOOK AT THE TIERED APPROACH WHERE WE'VE GOT LIKE WE HAVE OUR FRONT LINE THAT ARE ON
SITE, OUR TIER TWO, WHICH WILL BE KIND OF LIKE WE'RE DOING WITH THE ZONE. 
          AND THEN MAYBE SOME OF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE VEHICLES WITH,
WITH CARDS. 
          WE SAID WE WOULD LOOK AT THAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER ON THAT. 
          WE'D HAVE TO EVALUATE IT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STILL HAVE THE,
THE CONTROLS AND WE'RE STILL NOT OPENING OURSELVES TO, TO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH, WITH FRAUD OR MISUSE. 
          SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I AM HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CADENA. CHAIR. JOHNSON. 
          CHAIR. STEWART. COUNCIL MEMBER. ROTH. THANK YOU. 
          JUST QUICKLY. HOW MANY TRUCKS DID YOU SAY YOU ALL HAD? UNDER ON PAGE FOUR. WE GOT JUST IN CHIEF. WE GOT 23 TRUCKS,
58 ENGINES. 
          SORRY, I GOT WE GOT 23 FIRE TRUCKS 58 FIRE ENGINES AND 46 FULL TIME AMBULANCES, EIGHT SINGLE FUNCTION AMBULANCES IN SERVICE EACH DAY. 
          OKAY. I'M CONFUSED. THE I THOUGHT THE THE THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS THAT YOU HAD 80 ENGINES,
96 RESCUE VEHICLES. 
          THAT'S THAT'S TOTAL, INCLUDING RESERVES. IT'S WHAT? THAT'S THE TOTAL FLEET, INCLUDING THE RESERVES. 
          WE HAVE TO HAVE ABOUT 20%, INCLUDING RESERVES. 
          YEAH. WE HAVE TO HAVE ABOUT 20 AT LEAST 20% OF 22 TO COVER. 
          AND, AND, AND SO WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FLEET READINESS THAT THE TOTAL IS THAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT. 
          BUT THE FLEET READINESS IS THE ONES THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN SERVICE. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER, THE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THOSE NUMBERS IS,
IS BASICALLY THEY'RE IN REPAIR, THEY'RE UNDER, THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING, YOU'RE FIXING THEM,
WHATEVER IT IS. AND I'M NOT TRYING TO I'M NOT TRYING TO PUT YOU IN A BOX. 
          I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS. SO WE HAVE THAT FRONT LINE AND THAT'S THE
NUMBER THAT HE GAVE US. 
          WE, WE STRIVE FOR 20% IN RESERVE. SO THAT'S WHERE WHEN WE HAVE THE 23 TRUCKS,
BUT WE'VE GOT 38 TOTAL. 
          I THINK THAT'S THE NUMBER YOU WERE LOOKING FOR. BUT PART OF THOSE ARE WHAT'S ON RESERVE. 
          SOME OF THOSE ARE WAITING TO BE DEPLETED. SO THOSE THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE DIFFERENCE IN
THE NUMBERS. 
          OKAY. SO AGAIN, I'M NOT TRYING, I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS BECAUSE THEY
DON'T ADD UP. 
          THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE'S THE,
WHERE'S THE OTHER VEHICLES? OKAY. THE SECOND THING IS, IS WHEN YOU'RE, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FUEL COSTS,
WHO IS FM? WHAT? WHO ARE THEY? THAT'S EQUIPMENT FLEET MANAGEMENT. 
          THAT'S THAT'S OUR CITY DEPARTMENT. FLEET MANAGEMENT HERE. 
          OKAY. THAT'S THAT'S YOUR FLEET MANAGEMENT KNOW THAT'S THE CITY'S THE CITY,
THE CITY'S. 
          YES. I MEAN, WHEN I SAY YOUR IT'S OUR IT'S THE CITY AND P A D D IS WHAT. 
          SO THAT IS THE THE THAT'S A STRATEGIC PETROLEUM. 
          OKAY. SO THAT'S THAT'S JUST THAT'S A, THAT'S A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,
A DATABASE THAT'S RAN BY THE FEDERAL RESERVES THAT COLLECTS THE DATA. 
          SO WE'RE PART OF THE GULF GULF COAST REGION,
WHICH IS US, LOUISIANA, LOUISIANA. 
          I BELIEVE GEORGIA, JUST THE GULF. PERFECT. AND SO YOUR AVERAGE COST FOR DIESEL IS WHAT DID
YOU SAY IT WAS $2 AND SOMETHING DOLLARS AND I BELIEVE $2 AND $32 AND CHANGE IN YOUR UNLEADED IS WHAT IT WAS A LITTLE LESS
THAN THAT. 
          GIVE OR TAKE. IT'S ABOUT THE SAME. SO, YES. SO WE'RE SPENDING ON 600,000 GALLONS. 
          YOU'RE SPENDING ABOUT $1.2 MILLION FOR FOR DIESEL. 
          YOU'RE SPENDING ANOTHER 25,000 FOR UNLEADED. SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT A 1.2 50. 
          [01:45:05]
FUEL COST IS WHAT YOU'RE ALL BUYING. TYPICALLY. 
          THAT'S OKAY. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE BIG NUMBERS. 
          YES. ARE WE WHEN WE BUY THAT FUEL ARE WE BUYING IT IN BULK? ARE WE BUYING IT THROUGH JOBBERS OR BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF A
BETTER PRICE. 
          SO WE BUY IT IN BULK. FM BUYS IT AND THEN THE JV,
WE JV THEM THE, THE FUNDS FOR WHAT THE DEPARTMENT USED, RIGHT. SO AND FIRE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T OWN THE CONTRACT. 
          FM DOES. OKAY. SO MY POINT IS, IS ARE WE BUYING CONTRACTUALLY AS A CITY FOR,
FOR A, FOR A YEAR OR A MONTH? DO WE BUY IT MONTHLY? IN OTHER WORDS, ARE WE ABLE TO LOCK IN A PRICE FOR A LONG TIME
BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT RAISING ESCALATION OF COSTS, OBVIOUSLY. AND AND HOW DO WE MANAGE THAT? THAT FUEL COSTS AT 1.2 BILLION MILLION THAT
COMES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING THIS NEXT YEAR. 
          SO BECAUSE WE DON'T WE THAT CONTRACT DOESN'T SIT WITH THE DFD. 
          WE. I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT CONTRACT. SO THAT WOULD BE AN FM CONTRACT ON. 
          SO THAT'S OUR PRICES HAVE BEEN STABLE OF WHAT THEY'VE BEEN CHARGING US. 
          SO MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT IN ADDITION TO BULK THAT THEY DO HAVE SOME KIND OF CONTRACT IN
PLACE. 
          SO THAT'S A DIFFERENT QUESTION TO SEE IF THEY HAD IF THEY DECIDE IF THEY SOMEHOW HAVE
SOME, WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER FOR THAT. SOME OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO,
TO MANAGE OUR OUR GENERAL FUEL COSTS FOR EVERYTHING. 
          AND THIS WOULD ALSO APPLY JUST NOT TO YOU ALL,
BUT IT WOULD APPLY TO, TO THE POLICE, TO THE, TO THE CITY VEHICLES. SO OUR TOTAL GAS COST COULD BE SIGNIFICANT. 
          AND I'M JUST USING YOU ALL AS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME PLACE WHERE MAYBE WE NEED TO BE PAYING
ATTENTION BECAUSE WE NEED TO PAY FOR GAS, WE NEED TO PAY FOR IT. SO LET'S FIGURE OUT WHERE WE CAN DO IT IN A COST EFFECTIVE MANNER. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER. RESENDEZ. THAT TAKES US TO OUR BRIEFINGS BY MEMOS. 
          AND IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON BRIEFING MEMO F LOOKING TO MY LEFT AND RIGHT,

          BATTALION ONE AND TWO HAVE BEEN COMPLETE. THEY MARKED UP BATTALION THREE AND THEY'RE
GETTING READY TO START BATTALION FOUR. 
          SO WE ARE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW. ARE YOU ARE YOU ARE YOU ENCOUNTERING ANY
DIFFICULTIES GETTING GETTING ANY PARTS, GETTING THE PEOPLE SET UP, GETTING THE THINGS HANDLED? ARE YOU ON SCHEDULE? NO, WE'RE NOT ENCOUNTERING ANY PROBLEMS. THE ONLY DELAY THAT WE FORESEE IS A NEW STATION 21 THAT HAS TO BE COLLABORATED WITH THE
CONTRACTORS OF PULLING SOME CABLES AND EVERYTHING AS THEY ARE FINISHING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT STATION. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER. SO I THINK AT COUNCIL MEETING LAST WEEK,
WE JUST APPROVED THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FOR STATION 45. SO WILL THAT BE ADDED TO THIS? YES THEY HAVE. STATION 45 IS IN BATTALION ONE. 
          THE CURRENT STATION NOW HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH THE INSTALLATION. 
          AND AS THE NEW STATION COME ONLINE, WHATEVER YEAR THAT COMES ONLINE THAT WILL BE ADDED
INTO THAT CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO THEY WILL HAVE THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ON ITEM H? ITEM I CHAIR STEWART. OKAY. OH, I DON'T WE'LL WAIT FOR WE HAVE A MARSHAL COMING FOR I. 
          DON'T KNOW THAT CHIEF PAUL WANTS TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOT TEAM. 
          [01:50:05]
GOOD AFTERNOON, PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. I'M DALLAS CITY MARSHAL CLIFTON KNIGHT. 
          THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU. SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION ON YOUR MEMO. 
          I NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT JUMP IN UNSHELTERED INDIVIDUALS CONTACTED DURING OES OPERATIONS. 
          IT WENT FROM 123 IN FEBRUARY TO 565 IN MARCH. 
          WHAT WHAT CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE THERE? YES, MA'AM. YOU'LL SEE IN MARCH THAT WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND WE VISITED MORE SITES? SO MORE SITES. AND IT COULD BE. AGAIN WE WE TALKED LAST PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFING THAT. 
          IT COULD BE SOME OF THE SAME INDIVIDUALS. BUT OUR OFFICERS ARE. 
          ACTUALLY JUST GOING OUT COUNTING INDIVIDUALS EACH TIME. 
          THAT'S ON SITE. OKAY. SO YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE SYSTEM OF HOW WE
HANDLE OUR HOMELESS POPULATION, OUR UNHOUSED POPULATION. SO CAN YOU WHERE DO YOU ALL COME INTO THE SYSTEM HERE? AT WHAT POINT ARE YOU ALL DEPLOYED? IS IT JUST AT PARKS? I KNOW BECAUSE YOU PROVIDE SERVICES, SAFETY AND SECURITY AT PARKS. 
          WHERE WHERE DO YOU ALL FIT INTO THE HOMELESS OR UNHOUSED RESPONSE? SO IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE PARKS ON THE TRAIL. 
          AGAIN, WE GO OUT WITH WITH KEVIN'S TEAM WITH,
OH, WITH THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. 
          SO WE GO OUT WITH THEIR TEAM AND, AND ALSO WE GO OUT AND ASSIST WITH WITH THE DPD HEART
HOT TEAM. 
          OKAY. OH, YOU GO OUT WITH THE HOT TEAM AS WELL. 
          SO THIS IS I THINK I'M REALLY CONFUSED NOW ABOUT THE HOT TEAM. 
          AND I KNOW WHEN I SAY HOT TEAM, I'M DUPLICATING WORDS. 
          I APOLOGIZE, BUT IT'S JUST TOO WEIRD TO SAY HOT. 
          SO I'M GOING TO SAY HOT TEAM, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE T IN HOT STANDS FOR TEAM. 
          SO SORRY. JUST FOR ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO WAS WORRIED ABOUT THAT. 
          SO IF I COULD GET SOME UNDERSTANDING ON WHAT THE ROLE IS THEN OF THE HOT TEAM,
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE OUT THERE WITH THE HOT TEAM AND THE, IF YOU'RE BOTH OUT THERE JUST WHEN I'LL LET YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND JUST EXPLAIN WHAT
YOUR ROLE IS. 
          YES, MA'AM. I'M LIEUTENANT DOS OVER THE HOT TEAM. 
          SO WHEN WE RESPOND TO THESE LOCATIONS, WE OFTEN INCLUDE THE MARSHALS WITH US. 
          THEY ASSIST US WITH THE MASS ARRESTS AND TRANSPORT TO CDC. 
          OKAY. AND YOU'RE COMING TO THE SITE BECAUSE THE ENCAMPMENT HAS BEEN CLOSED OR WHAT BRINGS
YOU TO THAT SITE? WE WERE COMING TO THAT SITE. OH. YOUR MICROPHONE. 
          WE'RE COMING TO THAT ENCAMPMENT TO CLOSE IT. SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE
CAMP. 
          WE'VE OFFERED OUTREACH THROUGH VARIOUS RESOURCES,
WHETHER IT BE EMC OR HOUSING FORWARD, HOMEWARD BOUND. 
          AFTER THAT, THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T TAKEN OUTREACH,
WE GO IN AND WE REMOVE THEM FROM THE CAMP AND OUR PARTNERS WILL COME IN AND CLEAN THE CAMP. AND AT THAT TIME THE CAMP IS CLOSED. OKAY. 
          SO I'M, I THOUGHT HOUSING FORWARD AS WELL AS SOME OF OUR MAYBE DOCTOR JACKSON HAVE A ROLE
IN THAT ENGAGEMENT WHEN, WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO OFFER SERVICES AND,
AND GET THEM INTO SOME TYPE OF HOUSING. 
          THAT HAPPENS BEFORE YOU, YOU COME ON SCENE. IS THAT CORRECT? SOMETIMES, YES. SO IF WE, WE HAVE A MEETING EVERY THURSDAY WHERE WE DISCUSSED THE NEW
SITES AND WHAT SITES THEY CAN TAKE OVER. 
          AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO IN AND GET THAT INFORMATION. WHO GIVES YOU WHICH SITES TO GO
AFTER? WE BASE IT ON CRIME TRENDS, ON THE WHAT? ON CRIME TRENDS. 
          CRIME TRENDS? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. I JUST I THINK WE'RE WE'RE ALL WORKING REALLY HARD IN OUR
DIFFERENT AREAS, BUT WE'RE NOT WORKING TOGETHER. AND FROM MY PERCEPTION HAD ALWAYS BEEN LET'S SAY I'VE GOT
THE COTTONWOOD CREEK TRAIL SITUATION AND WHAT HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, JUST ABOUT A YEAR AGO THERE WAS A TEAM,
A CITY OF DALLAS TEAM THAT WENT OUT AND I THINK ALSO WORKED WITH HOUSING FORWARD AND OFFERED SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE AT THE,
ALONG THE COTTONWOOD CREEK TRAIL AND UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE. 
          AND THERE'S THIS TERM OUT THERE AFTER SO MANY ENGAGEMENTS WITH PEOPLE AS OF A SPECIFIC
DATE THAT WAS CONSIDERED CLOSED, THAT ENCAMPMENT WAS CLOSED. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE WERE MARSHALS OUT THERE BEFORE THAT
TIME, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY JUST MORE MAYBE YOUR SOCIAL WORKER PERSON IS OUT THERE TRYING
TO ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP AND THEN ENGAGE THAT PERSON SO THAT THEY WILL THEN HOPEFULLY ACCEPT SERVICES. 
          SO I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS ARE OUT THERE AT THAT POINT. 
          THIS IS EARLY ON. IS THAT CORRECT? CHIEF ARTIST,
CHIEF ARTIST, ONE SECOND BEFORE WE GO TOO DEEP. 
          SO THIS ITEM IS OVER THE HEART TEAM AND I WAS TRYING TO STICK TO ALSO GOT THE REPORT ON
THE 
          [01:55:09]
THEIR WORK IN ENCAMPMENTS. THE MARSHALS WORK ON THE,
THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE HEART TEAM TOGETHER. 
          SO SURE, KEVIN GO AHEAD IF YOU MIND, I CAN, I CAN EXPLAIN ALL,
ALL OF THIS HOPEFULLY PRETTY QUICKLY. 
          SO WHEN WE BUILT OUT THE DALLAS STREET RESPONSE AND INHERITED THAT FUNCTION,
WE QUICKLY IDENTIFIED THAT THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF ENCAMPMENT. 
          THERE'S THE ROUTINE, WHICH GENERALLY THOSE CAN BE RESOLVED VERY QUICKLY BY JUST MY TEAM,
EITHER THROUGH OUTREACH OR BY CLEANING. 
          THEY VERY RARELY REQUIRE ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE. 
          CAN I JUST INTERRUPT YOU THERE? YOUR TEAM ALSO DOES OUTREACH WITH THE. 
          YOU ENGAGE THE INDIVIDUALS TO PROVIDE. CORRECT. 
          WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FOR THAT ALL OF THE SERVICE REQUESTS. 
          ALL OF THE, THE HOT SPOTS, EVERYTHING I'M GOING TO TALK THROUGH THAT IS RUN THROUGH MY
DEPARTMENT. 
          THERE'S NOBODY ELSE AT THE CITY OF DALLAS OR METRO CARE OR OTHER OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE
DOING THAT WORK. 
          BECAUSE I, WHEN I GO TO THE POINT IN TIME COUNT,
I'M ALWAYS BRIEFED ON HOW THIS WORKS. 
          AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I UNDERSTOOD. SO THERE'S,
THERE ARE OTHER GROUPS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE HOMELESS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. 
          THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR COORDINATING HOW THAT OCCURS RUNS THROUGH MY DEPARTMENT. 
          AND SO WE DO THAT AT THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOCATION,
A ROUTINE WHICH IS GENERALLY DRIVEN BY OUR 311 CALLS FOR SERVICE, OUR EXIGENT ENCAMPMENTS, WHICH ARE CLEANED AND DO INVOLVE LAW ENFORCEMENT TO CLEAR THE
SITE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AN ASSESSMENT TAKING PLACE. AND THOSE ARE BASED ON OBJECTIVE CRITERIA. 
          AND THIRD IS OUR HOT SPOTS. OUR HOT SPOTS ARE A 4 TO 6 WEEK WINDOW LED BY HOUSING FORWARD, GOING IN AND DOING THE STREET TO HOME MODEL,
FOLLOWED BY A CLOSURE AND A MAINTAINING OF CLOSING OF THE SITE. 
          AND WE WORK WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS ON THAT. 
          SO THE THREE TYPES OF ENCAMPMENT ARE ESCALATING. 
          ONE REALLY JUST INVOLVES ME AND GENERALLY THE MARSHAL,
ONE INVOLVES ME AND THE HOT TEAM. 
          THE THIRD ONE INVOLVES HOUSING FOR MY TEAM AND THEN THE HOT TEAM. 
          SO HOT TEAM COMES IN NOT UNDER THE 311 CALL UNDER THE 24 HOURS. 
          IF IT'S AN EXIGENT SITE, FOR INSTANCE, THE LOCATION THAT WE SERVICED LAST WEEK IN
NORTHWEST, THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT LOCATION LOCATED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          WE QUICKLY COORDINATED WITH THE HOT TEAM WITH OUR CLEANING VENDOR. 
          WE GOT THE SITE CLOSED DOWN, WE PROVIDED THE SERVICE AND GOT IT CLEANED UP. 
          AND WENT BACK TO NORMAL OPERATIONS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          CORRECT. IT WAS A PRIVATE PROPERTY WITH AN OWNERSHIP GROUP THAT WE WERE,
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH TO AFFECT CHANGE, AND WE NEEDED TO GO IN AND AFFECT THAT. SO WE HAD THE CODE DEPARTMENT ASSIST AND OTHERS. 
          THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF AN EXIGENT ENCAMPMENT SITE. 
          OKAY. MY UNDERSTANDING WAS WE WERE JUST COVERING PUBLIC SPACE AND NOT PRIVATE,
BECAUSE THAT'S THE PARKING GARAGE WITH THE COUPLE AND THEIR DOG. 
          AND SO I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN GET THERE FOR THIS GENTLEMAN. 
          I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE HEARING MY FRUSTRATION, BUT THIS IS A,
THERE'S A LOT OF NUANCE AND DETAIL HERE THAT I JUST DON'T THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND. 
          WELL I, I HEAR IT FROM, I HEAR THIS DESCRIBED BY OTHER PEOPLE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. 
          AND I THINK WE JUST MIGHT HAVE TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN A LITTLE BIT OR SOMETHING,
BUT IT'S JUST A, IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO, IT'S JUST NOT CLEAR. SO IT'S WHERE I WAS AN HOUR AGO. 
          I APOLOGIZE FOR TAKING UP SO MUCH TIME, BUT REALLY AS A COUNCIL MEMBER,
IT IS HARD TO NAVIGATE THIS. 
          IT'S HARD FOR ME TO KNOW WHEN THE HOT TEAM SHOULD BE THERE. 
          AND I KNOW, KEVIN, YOU'RE MAKING THAT CALL, BUT I WANT IT TO BE ON SOME INDEPENDENT,
VERIFIABLE, OBJECTIVE FACTORS SO THAT I UNDERSTAND. SO I COULD GO TO YOU,
KEVIN, AND SAY I HAVE TWO OF THOSE THREE FACTORS GOING ON HERE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE HOT TEAM COME OUT. 
          BUT IT, IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, IT'S I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A COMPLEX PROBLEM. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT'S NOT COOKIE CUTTER. EVERY SINGLE SITE PROBABLY HAS ITS OWN NUANCES. 
          BUT I THINK THAT'S WHY WE ARE STRUGGLING, AT LEAST FROM THE COUNCIL PERSPECTIVE. 
          SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU CHAIR. JUST IF I CAN BRIEFLY RESPOND WE'VE UNDERTAKEN A COMPLETE
REWRITING OF EVERY POLICY AND PROCEDURE WE HAVE 
          [02:00:03]
SINCE WE INHERITED THIS. IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY TIME TO DO THAT. 
          OUR PROCEDURE WHERE WE SPELL OUT EVERYTHING EVERYONE DOES FOR THOSE THREE TYPES OF
ENCAMPMENT I JUST ARTICULATED, THAT'S WITH THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE BEING REVIEWED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GOOD ON EVERY SINGLE
FRONT OF EVERYTHING WE DO. 
          AS SOON AS WE'VE GOT THAT DONE, I AM HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH EACH OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY AT
COMMITTEE, AT FULL COUNCIL, WHATEVER IS THE BEST WAY TO COMMUNICATE IT WITH YOU. 
          SHARE HOW WE OPERATE, HOW TO BEST COMMUNICATE,
AND HOW WE. 
          WE CAN BE RESPONSIVE TO THE DEMANDS THAT WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALSO GETTING FROM YOUR
RESIDENTS AND MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMUNITY. 
          THAT IS MY COMMITMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WE DELIVER ON. 
          AND YES, THERE IS INFINITE GRAY AREA IN THIS,
WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE SPENT MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TRYING TO PUT OUT IN OUR PROCEDURE BECAUSE IT IS, IT IS A VERY COMPLEX AND DIFFICULT FIELD. 
          COUNCIL. COUNCILWOMAN. SORRY. DEPUTY CHIEF ALLEN ALLEN I'M THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE
HEART TEAM ON DPD. 
          WE JUST WANT TO CLARIFY SOME THINGS THAT WHEN WE. 
          WE RECEIVED 311 COMPLAINTS FROM CITY THROUGH THE 311 DASHBOARD AS WELL. 
          AND WE ALSO RECEIVED THROUGH REGULAR CITIZEN COMPLAINTS. 
          SO WHEN OUR OFFICERS RESPOND TO DIFFERENT CALLS THROUGH 911,
THEY GO OUT THERE OR THEY JUST RIDING AROUND, THEY SEE CERTAIN THINGS. THEY WILL SEND OUT AN EMAIL REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE FROM THE HOT TEAM. 
          SO AT THAT POINT, OUR TEAM WOULD GET NOTIFIED AND WE WOULD SEND OUT 2 OR 3 ELEMENTS JUST
TO GO OUT AND LOOK AT IT, JUST TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE AND JUST GIVING IT,
SAY, IF IT'S 3 OR 4 PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH A SMALL ENCAMPMENT, WE CAN PRETTY MUCH HANDLE IT OURSELVES. BUT IF WE GO OUT THERE AND THEY'RE 50,
60 PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT TRASH VEHICLES, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT'S WHEN WE BRING IN SANITATION CODE. 
          THEN WE GOT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S PUBLIC PROPERTY. 
          PRIVATE PROPERTY, IS IT STATE PROPERTY. SO WE COME UP WITH A PLAN. 
          SO WE COME UP WITH OPERATION PLAN. AND BASED OFF OUR SOP WE INTERACT THAT WAY. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT GOES INVOLVED IN THAT. 
          SO IF WE NEED TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU TO CLARIFY CERTAIN THINGS. 
          PUT IT IN POLICY. WE WOULD DEFINITELY DO THAT. 
          PUT OUT A CRITERIA FOR YOU. WE'LL DEFINITELY DO THAT. 
          SO HERE'S MY CONCERN. I KNOW I SAID I WAS DONE,
BUT IF I COULD HAVE JUST A COUPLE MORE MINUTES. 
          LET'S SAY YOU YOU COME ACROSS A SMALL ENCAMPMENT AND YOU BREAK IT UP. 
          NO OFFENSE, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY JUST MOVING THOSE PEOPLE AND YOU'RE MOVING THEM TO MY
DISTRICT TO, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY'S DISTRICT UP HERE. WE'VE CREATED A RESOURCE CARD,
SO WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT RESOURCES WE CAN OFFER TO THEM. 
          JUST SAYING. WE OFFER THOSE DIFFERENT RESOURCES TO THEM TO FIND THEM HOUSING,
FIND THEM HOMES, THOSE ONES THAT ARE WILLING, THEY GO FOR THOSE,
THE ONES THAT ARE NOT WILLING TO GO IF THEY HAVE WARRANTS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE TAKE CARE OF IT THAT WAY, HOWEVER, BUT IN THE FUTURE,
WE ALSO DEFINITELY REACH OUT FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          BUT I THINK WE HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MODEL THAT SAYS IF WE HAVE A SOCIAL WORKER GO OUT THERE
AND, AND BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT PERSON AND THEN WORK TO FIND A PLACE FOR THAT PERSON
TO MOVE TO. 
          YES, MA'AM. THAT IS THE MOST, I THINK, PERMANENT SOLUTION. 
          IT DOESN'T MOVE PEOPLE AROUND, AS WE HAD SEEN,
BECAUSE THAT IS SO MUCH OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CREEK AREAS, RIGHT, IN DISTRICT TEN AND DISTRICT 11. YOU JUST YOU MOVE THEM FROM UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE. 
          THEY'VE JUST GONE DEEPER INTO THE WOODS OR IN THE CREEK. 
          BUT IF A SOCIAL WORKER HAD SPENT A PERIOD OF TIME GOING OUT THERE,
BUILDING A RAPPORT, BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP, AND THEN ACTUALLY GETTING THEM INTO A SHELTER OR AN APARTMENT WITH A VOUCHER,
YOU'VE, YOU'VE IT'S THAT'S MORE SUCCESSFUL FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. 
          AS I SIT HERE AFTER THREE YEARS WATCHING THIS,
BECAUSE THEN THAT PERSON IS NOT GOING TO BE BACK IN THE CREEK, BACK UNDER THE BRIDGE, BACK, YOU KNOW, AT FOREST AND,
AND, AND CENTRAL. 
          SO I THINK WE ABSOLUTELY NEED A HOT TEAM. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THERE ARE TIMES YOU
NEED TO GO IN AND JUST REMOVE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE. 
          AND I KNOW THE MARSHALS ARE EXTRAORDINARILY,
EXTRAORDINARILY HELPFUL, BUT I HOPE THAT IS NOT OUR GO TO. 
          I HOPE OUR GO TO MODEL IS WHAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE WITH HOUSING FORWARD WITH
OTHER PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE CITY AND THAT WE WE GO WE START THERE. 
          YES, MA'AM. WE ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY DO THAT. 
          PRIOR TO DPD AND US GOING OUT TO THE HOT TEAM,
WE'VE COLLABORATED, LIKE WE SAID, WITH DOCTOR DEL CARMEN, WE LOOK FOR DIFFERENT FACTORS. OKAY. WHY ARE THESE INDIVIDUALS AT THIS CAMP? IS IT BECAUSE OF THIS ACCESSIBLE? IS IT BECAUSE IT'S CLOSE TO THE FREEWAY? IS IT CLOSE TO
SHOPPING CENTERS? WHAT ARE THEY KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS. SO WE'RE COLLECTING THAT DATA WHEN WE'RE
INTERACTING. 
          SO WE GET A COMPLAINT DEALING WITH THE ENCAMPMENT THE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY
TAKE ACTION. 
          [02:05:03]
WE'RE GOING OUT THERE MULTIPLE TIMES, INTERACTING WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS,
GIVING THEM RESOURCES TO SAY, HEY, GIVING THEM TIME TO FIND THOSE RESOURCES BEFORE WE TAKE A CRIMINAL OR POLICE ACTION OUT
THERE. 
          SO I'M GOING TO HAVE CHIEF ARTIST CLOSE US OUT HERE. 
          SO THAT WE STAY ON THE POSTED ITEM. YES. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SOME CLARIFICATION. 
          THERE IS A TRIAGE THAT ARE HAPPENING ON THESE SITES AND THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT. 
          WE LOOK AT THEM FROM THREE DIFFERENT LENSES BECAUSE EACH ONE IS DIFFERENTLY. 
          WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING AN SOP THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
PARTS THAT YOU'VE SEEN. 
          THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HEARING SO MANY DIFFERENT DPD HAS A DIFFERENT PART THAN WHAT KEVIN DOES
AND WHAT THEY DO. 
          THEY MEET TO DECIDE WHICH ENCAMPMENTS THEY'RE GOING TO. 
          THIS TEAM GOES TO THAT. THIS ONE, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S A SAFETY ISSUE,
OF COURSE, THAT BUMPS IT UP A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. 
          AND WE'RE GOING TO WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THAT. 
          SO THEY AS THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF OF WORKING OUT,
WHERE ARE WE GOING AND WHAT TEAMS ARE GOING, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE DEFINED FOR YOU. COUNCIL. 
          MEMBERS. SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR ATTORNEYS RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE
HAVE THAT FINISHED PRODUCT TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT BEFORE YOU. 
          THANK YOU. AND SO I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS,
BUT BEFORE I GET TO YOU ALL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY ON THE CITY MARSHAL'S HEART RESPONSE. KEVIN, I DO WANT TO THANK YOU. YOU'VE MET WITH ME SEVERAL TIMES. 
          I I'M STILL LOST SOMETIMES, SO I, I KNOW MY COLLEAGUES ARE LOST AND,
AND I, YOU KNOW, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THOUGH, IT'S OUR RESIDENTS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THE PROCESS WHEN THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH THREE, ONE, ONE OR WHOEVER THEY'RE CALLING TO GET SOMETHING ADDRESSED IN THEIR COMMUNITY. 
          CHAIR JOHNSON. THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND I WANT TO THANK CHAIR STEWART. 
          AND I, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IT'S, IT'S,
I GUESS IT'S KIND OF HARD TO KIND OF STAY WITHIN A FRAME WORK. 
          WHEN IT'S ALL SET. WHEN IT ALL SOUNDS THE SAME TO SOME. 
          SO I'LL BE BRIEF. IMMA SAY IT AGAIN. I NEED THE SAME RESULTS THAT DOWNTOWN IS GETTING NOW. 
          I BELIEVE IT WAS 64 ARRESTS MADE DOWNTOWN. HOW MANY ARRESTS WAS MADE IN DISTRICT FOUR? WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE UNHOUSED, WE DON'T COME OUT GAVE WHAT YOU SAID ALL THE
RESOURCES. 
          AND IF THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING AND THEY'RE STILL VIOLATING THAT THAT CODE. 
          SO HOW MANY ARRESTS HAS BEEN MADE IN DISTRICT FOUR? DO YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION FOR THE MONTH? FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH? NO ARRESTS MADE IN DISTRICT FOUR AGAIN. THEY'RE ON AROUND THE DOWNTOWN AREA. 
          49 OF THOSE ARRESTS WERE MADE ASSISTING THE DPD HOT TEAM OUT OF JONES CREEK. 
          SO AGAIN, WE ASSIST THEM AS FAR AS TRANSPORTING,
THAT'S WHERE 49 OF THOSE ARRESTS CAME IN AT. 
          THE OTHERS MADE ON AND AROUND DALLAS WITHIN THE CITY OF DALLAS PARKS. 
          THE DOWNTOWN PARKS AREA. SO CHIEF ARTIST HERE IS MY CONCERN. 
          I'M OUT WITH THE TEAM. I MEAN, I'M ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          I'M OUT WITH THE TEAM AND WE'RE FOLLOWING THE LAW. 
          I'M A POLICY GUY. SO WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE POLICY. I'VE BEEN THE POLICY CHAIR FOR
DALLAS ISD BEFORE I GOT HERE FOR FOUR YEARS. 
          SO I'M GOING TO FOLLOW THAT POLICY. WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE. 
          WHEN I'M ASKING AT THIS POINT FOR THEIR TEAM TO COME OUT AND KEVIN IS DOING THAT,
AS HE SAID, THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT ENFORCEMENT. SO WHEN WE'RE COMING BACK OUT AND KEVIN'S TEAM IS
DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER, THE HARD TEAM, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THE MARSHALS AND AND NOT THE RESULTS. 
          THEN WE'RE SPINNING OUR WHEELS, OKAY? BECAUSE WE'RE HELPING THOSE THAT WANT HELP AND THOSE
THAT ARE REFUSING HELP. 
          AND AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO BE SENSITIVE AND COMPASSIONATE AND ALL THAT. 
          WE ARE DOING THAT. I SEE THE TEAM DOING THAT. 
          I'M DOING THAT, BUT I'M NOT GETTING THE RESULTS. 
          AND IT'S A PROBLEM WHEN I'M HEARING OTHER AREAS ARE GETTING THE RESULT. 
          AND I STILL HAVE ZERO ARRESTS FROM VIOLENT MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AT UNDER HOUSE. 
          IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHO I NEED TO TALK TO MAYOR PRO TEM,
BUT IF THE MARSHALS, IF THE DVD, THE HIGH TEAM. I JUST NEED THE SAME RESULT AND THE SAME ENERGY. 
          GIVEN THAT'S HAPPENING IN OTHER AREAS IN DOWNTOWN,
I NEED THAT HAPPENING IN DISTRICT FOR SURE. 
          JOHNSON. SO THESE ARRESTS ARE SOLELY THROUGH THE MARSHALS DEPARTMENT,
NOT DPD, BUT THEY'RE SAYING THAT THE MARSHALS ARE PART OF THE HIGH TEAM. 
          IS THAT IS THAT CORRECT OR INCORRECT? WE ASSIST THE HEART TEAM. 
          [02:10:01]
WE ASSIST THE HEART TEAM IN TRANSPORTING. SO. 
          SO DOES ASSIST MEAN A PART OF ITS. YES, SIR. OKAY,
SO AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO WANT TO ACT LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 
          I'M SAYING I NEED HELP. YES, SIR. SO WHATEVER THAT IS,
