Thank you.

Mr.

Gentel to the chair, I I think we need to there maybe need to be an amendment to this because it says Cleveland Police Commission.

I think it needs to be community police commissioner.

Is that the motion?

It should be community police commission.

All right, um, I'll let um councilman for listen make a motion and we'll go for the okay, thank you.

All right, council community.

That uh the uh language be changed to community police commission within the ordinance.

All right.

Uh actually, you know what?

The amendment are located, and I'll just read it in because actually we have already made the amendment.

Is there is no legal objection to this legislation if we're made it as follows.

One in the title, line five, and in the referrals, whereas clause line three, strike Cleveland, and insert community.

This was dated 925-25 by Lewis Smoot the third, assistant director of law.

Thank you.

Alright, thank you.

Um I do believe uh Councilman Palencick has a question.

Yes, chairman.

Chairman, uh in and with the uh uh is it acting?

Your acting interim.

Will you please uh your last name?

N-O-U, R U R E D.

R E D.

D I N E.

Another D?

Correct.

D I and E.

And how would you pronounce that?

Nordine.

Okay.

So to Mr.

Nordine, um, you are interim director or the community police commission.

Okay.

Um so go into the back to the legislation that is in front of us, and I have another question.

But was it has there been any effort made?

I'll say this to you, but also to Mr.

Gentle.

Was there any effort um made to possibly uh find the civil space in the city building?

I think we're always looking to try to relocate, and I know there's been a space study.

Right.

Um, so right now they're need one more year where they're at, but hopefully uh and soon we'll start bringing back some of these people that we're releasing spaces back to city hall with the new space that we can't raise the past uh not as with this, but with other uh entities that are leasing space and you know we have city buildings, city facilities.

So let's figure out how we can uh accomplish this uh this relocation.

My last well, my next question is to Mr.

Nordie.

Um the um you know what I'm not even gonna believe.

I would ask you to kind of take my office because I have some questions with regard to we're waiting almost two years for the Cleveland Police Department to have commanders certified or ratified by the commission, which I don't understand why it is taken so long.

Division of police district commanders.

I don't understand it for the lately why it is taken so long.

And so does then have to explain this to you, and um at some point I hope to have you before the uh before the committee, and then tomorrow at two o'clock, the federal monitor is so I'm hoping that there's somebody going to be in attendance from the community police commission as well, not to participate.

But to be in the audience to hear the presentation of the federal law.

I'll leave it with that, Mr.

Chairman.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh Consider Brian Casey.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Mr.
