Last night.

And I was like, she didn't know about it.

Mayor.

That's what we kind of want to things.

You got me.

Oh, I got you already.

And the news work.

Here I have.

Do you need next one?

I think I have pocket.

Thank you so much.

And our first topic is phase two of the public safety aid recommendations.

And our deputy administrator recording in progress.

Karen Parrish will start us off in this presentation.

President members of the council, this is the second verse same as the first.

Yeah.

So uh president members of the council, this is second verse, same as the first.

Do you recall we went through an original conversation around the phase one recommendations for all there's about 5.3 million dollars in public safety aid that was allocated by the state?

Previously, you approved about 4.4 million dollars in phase one investments.

Um and what we're bringing forward to you is a collective recommendation around the remainder of those.

Um as you can see on the screen, there's uh a number of eligible uses and some things that specifically are not allowable.

Um, and then that also reflects your initial investments um that were made um back uh back in February.

Um really just a few things that are being recommended here, and I think they're strategic investments, but as you know, the budgeting process, you know, is uh a lot of conversations happened around that, and some of these things actually will be helpful to that in the future in terms of uh investing in things that we would otherwise have to pay for but for this funding, and so I think this uh allows us to um be good uh fiscal stewards.

Um so I will uh maybe advance me.

There we go.

Um so as we as we look at the different options, uh I think one uh that you're familiar with, you've invested in the Axon sort of platform for the PD.

Um they're really on the cutting edge of utilizing this for any number of different things for body cams or records, um they're getting really uh ready um to see some of the benefits of that investment in technology.

I know they've worked very hard on getting uh through the implementation process.

Um, but that is a limited term agreement.

Um by extending that out now and fixing our pricing, we can actually through a modest investment at this point, um, leverage uh future costs uh out into uh into year seven, out to year seven in this contract.

And so you know it's a really uh wise thing to do, and it gives you a longer time horizon for um what your costs are and fixing those.

Um as we've done benchmarking uh with other agencies, um we're definitely very competitive and we feel like we're in a good position um to deliver you know on this product and are you know leveraging it to the maximum extent possible at a lower cost than what many other agencies are seeing through our collaboration with that group.

Uh secondly, um with through some evolution in uh OSHA standards, we are required to uh provide additional turnout gear to our firefighters.

Um so this would provide additional investment in that area, so that's 140,000.

Um, and really just you know, it's really part of a fire safety initiative.

So allowing folks, you know, if they are on a fire scene to come and change out into new clothing while their other clothing's going through a good washing process, and so to think this is in line with some of our uh safety and wellness initiatives, and so really a good use of those fundings.

Uh emergency management at about 93,000.

We have a vehicle that is uh currently not depreciated and some other limited needs in that area.

Um and so as we sort of go with this new collaborative emergency management model, this is just sort of trueing up some expenses that we have there and really appreciate you know the strong partnership that's happening between the PD and FIRE in terms of our delivery of emergency management services.

Um and then last but not least, uh we are recommending about 293,000 for the fit out of the uh space that is currently unbuilt over at station two.

Um you might remember uh back at the rec center, we had kind of a similar unbuilt out space.

Um and this would allow us to do something similar there to get it into a usable condition for temporary use by emergency management, so they don't have to do all the setup and tear down.

Um it just gives us an extends out the flexibility of that space in the future if we want to have a backup display dispatch location or relocated dispatch there, it also gives us the opportunity uh to do that, but really um extends that out.

And just as a by way of example, we're you know, 80% across the line with this space.

Oh, that's great on my computer, but I'm not hooked up.

So there we go.

Um, so you can kind of see some pictures.

These weren't included in the packet, but I just thought it'd be helpful as a visual reference to say, you know, if we can get the concrete in and get the walls built out and some light mechanical work, you know, we'll be in a good position to utilize this space.

Um, by the way, probably won't recommend like leaving the floors undone in the future, not the easiest thing to do after the building's occupied, but um something that is uh helpful, I think, for the overall um utilization of that building.

And then finally, um we are proposing a few phase one reallocations.

So if you think about your original uh 200,000 that was to be invested for um community impact and the PD, um looking at reallocating 100,000 of that uh 50,000 of the ongoing piloting and collaboration with the CERT group, um, and you know, based on a contract that would be developed there, and then another $15,000 to support the uh efforts of our community service team that Captain Turk uh also uh heads up.

And then lastly, uh some additional funding for piloting two flat cameras, which you know, sort of this intelligence led and driven policing effort that the PD is really embracing.

So, with that, we have all the experts in the room to answer questions that you have, and certainly happy to answer any others.

This is a little bit unique.

This is on next week's council agenda for you all to consider.

Um, but because of the Wednesday meeting is posted in the packet, if you all have different ideas and all that, we will make changes to the packet.

So all right, thank you for that.

That this looks like a good list to me.

Great to see some community investments and investments in technology and just updating our needs.

Any other discussion?
