Yes, yeah.

Okay.

Okay, everyone, I'm gonna call this work session to order.

Today is uh Tuesday, uh July 14th.

We're noticeed from noon to 1:30 if we need that full time.

This is a work session on A0202662.

I'll just note there are three versions of it.

So we have the original version, the S version, and then the S1 version, which was um published um on our uh introduced at our last meeting on July 7th.

Um, and then I'll also note um actually we'll do introductions and I'll make just a couple quick intro remarks.

So starting with Mr.

President, Cameron Perez Radio, Donald Handling, Aaron Baldwin Day, Zach Johnson, Anna Brawley, Sydney Scout, and then on the phone we have Mr.

Martinez.

Yes, thank you, Chair.

Uh yeah, Janice Park, and then uh Ms.

Silvers Yes, yeah, thank you.

Okay, great.

So uh that's all of our members.

We're also joined by assembly council, clerk's office, members of the public and the administration in the back.

Um, so I'll just briefly note um in all note.

Also, we have uh, as I said, those three versions, we have some slides uh up on the screen and posted online and in your emails.

And I'll just say um, as one of the sponsors of this ordinance, and then I'll turn it over to my co-sponsor.

Um, our intent today is to cover um really to to have kind of a reset conversation about what we're trying to do here.

Uh, go into uh not a lot of detail, but a summary of the new S1 version.

Um the sponsor's intent at this point is to move forward with the S1 version.

So we can certainly talk about the others, but um that's the goal, just to say uh we just wanted to make sure all three of them were here, and then um certainly want to make time for folks to describe um their amendments that they brought forward if they would like to uh for those sponsors.

Uh, we have one additional amendment to describe.

And then again, I'll remind folks that uh this is an item where the public hearing has been continued.

And so our practice and the charter is that we do not debate on items in um that are still out for uh public hearing, and also work sessions are not for debate.

So, of course, we want to encourage folks to ask questions, um, to uh certainly speak to the intent of your amendments.

Um, but if we start getting into debate, then I'll need to gently uh remind us to stay back on track.

So um, so yeah, with that I will turn it to Mr.

Presford for the presentation.

Okay, thank you, Chair.

Um let's see.

So um I'll start just by saying that before we discuss the amendments.

Uh I think our intention is to step back and explain how we got here.

This ordinance has evolved significantly over the past several months.

Uh we have listened to public safety agencies, we've listened to community organizations, advocates, neighborhood leaders, residents, and through some of the the dialogue and our meetings through assembly members as well.

And today's goal is to explain that evolution, the major changes and then the design of this and provide context before we discuss the amendments.

Can you move to the next slide, please?

Okay, so today we'd like to accomplish a few things.

We'd like to recap the process that brought us here, refocus on what this commission is intended to accomplish, overview how the ordinance evolved from the original version to now the S1 version, and then of course introduce the sponsor of amendments and then discuss those.

So that's sort of our plan for today.

Next slide.

This work began with the former public safety advisory commission and continued through the public safety advisory commission task force.

Uh the task force spent uh, as you know, several months discussing these issues and developing recommendations.

The vast majority of those recommendations that came out of the task force were actually are actually reflected in this ordinance.

And since then we've discussed um, we've met with uh again public safety agencies, we've repeatedly met with community organizations and advocates.

Um, we've met with our own public safety aid agencies, and and can continue to get feedback, and and this is why one of the reasons why this is could continue to be refined.

Every version reflects what we've learned through the process, and this has truly been an iterative uh effort to build on listening and refinement.

Next slide.

Uh these guiding principles um have been through with us the entire time.

And so I wanted to just hit on these.

The public safety is broader than policing and includes fire, behavioral health, prosecution, prevention, emergency response, and many community part partners.

Meaningful community involvement makes public safety better and stronger.

The commission is intended to serve as a bridge between the community, our public safety agencies, and policymakers.

And we want to build something that works over the long term, not simply something that reacts to the issues of today.

And then every design decision comes back to these four principles.

Next slide.

This slide captures sort of the vision that what we're looking for, we want uh this commission to be in independent, we want it to be community led, we want it to be advisory, and we want it to be systems focused.
