My name is Bonnie Souza, I live in Ward 2, and tonight I am speaking in behalf of the Eugene Human Rights Commission. I also Chair the WeCU work group on the Commission, which is comprised of members of 10 different marginalized communities in Eugene, and is an outgrowth of the Human Rights Commission’s Marginalized Voices report published in June 2017. I want to thank the City Manager for including the WeCU work group’s number one prioritized recommendation from the Marginalized Voices report – a full-time Multicultural Liaison position – as a line item in the Unfunded Needs section in this year’s Budget, and Councilor Yeh and Budget Committee member Ryan Moore for moving this position forward in the Budget Committee. I appreciated the broad discussion in Budget Committee meetings about the inclusion of the new position in this year’s budget, the City Manager’s vocal support during those meetings, and the almost-unanimous vote to place a Multicultural Liaison in the City’s FY20 Budget. Most of my work over the past 40 years has been for non-profits, and has revolved around issues of race, racism and other forms of discrimination. I learned early on that, if a historically straight, white institution wants to diversify its staff, it is absolutely necessary that that institution appeals to and is relevant to the communities it wishes to recruit and retain. By relevant, I mean that institution must address the needs of those communities whose concerns have 1  9 not been traditionally considered, merely as a result of their perspectives not being included in the organization’s high-level policy and program decisions. That is, their voices are not at the actual table. Including a Multicultural Liaison position in this year’s budget is essential and a testament to the City Manager’s commitment to making Eugene a City that serves everyone, including people of color, the LGBTQ community, religious minorities and the disabled – those who experience discrimination daily, whether it be in a store, at work, on the street or with their local government. WeCU members have discussed and drafted ideas for the duties and qualifications we believe are important for this new Multicultural Liaison position. I trust that the City will take advantage of the perspectives and life experience represented on the WeCU work group, as the City creates a job description, and then recruits and hires someone for this position – a significant step toward serving everyone who lives, works and visits in Eugene. WeCU offers its ongoing service in an advisory capacity in this regard. Thank you, again, to the City Manager, and to the Mayor and City Councilors for supporting the inclusion of this crucial position in this year’s budget. 2  10 June 12, 2019 WeCU, an HRC work group Subcommittee Work Multicultural Liaison for City of Eugene Ideas for Job Description: 1.

Housing and Homeless State of Emergency [public comment to County Commissioners by Heather Sielicki] I’m here to ask you to declare a housing and homeless state of emergency. The housing affordability crisis, coupled with an unprece- dented number of unsheltered individuals, has caused a disaster in size and scope that must be addressed at this level of impact to the community. A declaration of housing and homeless state of emergency declaration would prioritize our immediate need for shelters and to rapidly increase affordable housing supply while at the same time, grant tools and authority to streamline our response. [continued on p. 2]  13 The Portland City Council has used their declaration to create sustainable solutions to allow for the (1) the permanent siting of day storage units, (2) expeditiously allow for temporary housing and issuance of permits related to shelter and alternative shelter siting and, (3) create an expeditious process for design review of affordable housing projects. They used the momentum to rally Portland voters towards approving a historic general obligation affordable housing bond. They extended the State of Emergency through April 2021. In Seattle, the County administrator made all King County department directors responsible for addressing the issue of homelessness, including identifying surplus facilities and properties that could be pressed into service. They opened a shelter in a wing of the county jail in downtown Seattle and are building modular and micro-home communities. This year, their Point-in-Time count reflected a 17 percent decrease in unsheltered people and an eight percent decrease overall, the first decrease in homelessness in the region in the past seven years. In Lane County, the Point-in-Time report showed we had a 44% increase in the total number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. This is why the County should declare a housing and homeless state of emergency. There are thousands of people living in their vehicles and outdoors in our community. We need policies that do not ignore this reality but instead factor them in. • Use this declaration to designate safe and legal parking places for individuals and families living in RVs or other vehicles in the scale required by the need. Imagine instead a temporary hardship parking permit program that links the permit holder to Service Point and connects them to services and pathways back to housing. • Use this declaration to designate small sections of public parks and other publicly owned land as sites with sanitary facilities for year-round campgrounds for people without permanent shelter during the period covered by the declaration. Until there is sufficient housing and shelter, we need alternatives that respect individual dignity and the needs of vulnerable populations. • Use this declaration to establish more rest stops, SRO, micro-unit apartments; and tiny house villages - transitional options that allow people to stay with their pets, partners and possessions. • Use it to make the Armory site work for services to get us through Winter and extreme weather events. • Use it to place a temporary moratorium on the conversion of mobile-home parks, Single Room Occupancy buildings (SROs), and multi-family into other uses. Preserving affordable housing options prevents displacement. • Use it to streamline the TAC report implementation. Lane County has the authority to declare a housing emergency for the purpose of addressing the shelter and housing needs of the homeless and those in jeopardy of becoming homeless, and protecting the public health, safety and welfare. The time to prepare for a winter emergency response is now. An emergency declaration could help us streamline government proce- dures in order to act more quickly and utilize our community resources more effectively. Please schedule a work session to explore how a declaration of emergency can open doors to progress where it is most needed. Sincerely, Heather Sielicki District 3 ! ! ! ! ! HRC Homelessness Work Group, June 12, 2019, Minutes, page 2  14 HRNI updates to the Human Rights Commission – June 18, 2019 GARE - The City of Eugene has joined GARE (Government Alliance on Racial Equity) and HRNI staff (Jen Vanderhaeghen, Lorna Flormoe, and Fabio Andrade) along with one staff from each city department plus executive team member Mia https://www.racialequityalliance.org/ Cariaga, are attending a 9-month, Pacific Northwest cohort training program on development and implementation of a racial equity plan for Eugene. Climate Action Plan Equity Panel Jen Vanderhaeghen worked closely with the Sustainability Office to develop an Equity Panel for the Climate Action Plan. The final meeting of this panel was held on Thursday June 12th. The Panel developed a definition of equity, an equity lens and 37 recommendations on how to address climate change centering the experiences of people of color, low income people, people with disabilities and people experiencing mental health issues. The Equity Panel will present their recommendations to the City Council on 6/17 at 5:30pm. To our knowledge, this presentation will be the first time that city council has received a report from a monolingual Spanish speaker. Training - HRNI is working with Human Resources to adopt a new training program on diversity, equity, and inclusion for all city staff. The new program contains three modules (temporarily titled: Inclusive Public Service, Working Better Together, and Leading for Equity). The first two modules will likely become part of the new employee orientation and the third one will be a required training for all staff in supervisory roles. The new program is being developed by Fabio Andrade, Lorna Flormoe and Lacey Johnson and is expected to be ready for piloting in August. Hate and Bias Prevention and Response – Lorna Flormoe has been piloting a training program on how to use the prevention and response toolkit, which was released in 2018. The modules have been offered to neighborhood associations and to students at UO campus. Feedback received is used to improve the program. II Community Safety Forum in Spanish - HRNI and the Police Auditor’s Office, in partnership with Bethel SD, organized the second Community Safety Forum in Spanish. On Tuesday, May 21st, several City of Eugene departments including the Eugene Police Department, Eugene/Springfield Fire Department, Victim Services of Lane County and other local non-profits and social service agencies, participated in a public safety forum for our Latinx community. Hate Crimes and Bias – On June 13, HRNI received several reports of swastika graffiti in the Jefferson Westside and Whiteaker neighborhoods. HRNI coordinated removal with Public Works and private owners. Report information was shared with EPD including a picture of a suspect, which was forward to HRNI by a resident of the impacted area. On June 5, we received a report regarding a man directing insults at a 12-year-old Latino child in the College Hill area. 15  16 Case Summary Civilian Review Board June 11, 2019  17 Summary of Facts • Officer A received a call from the principal of Cascade Middle School, indicating that there was a possible custody situation there. Officer A went to the school to look into the issue, and Officer B responded as a cover officer. • Officer A met with the mother, who had a custody agreement indicating that she had sole custody and decision-making authority over her daughter. As Officer A was leaving the room, the mother stated that Charles Landeros (the child’s other parent) was under investigation from the FBI and had anti-government and anti- police beliefs. • Officer A then went to the principal’s office; she had called Landeros, who was also there. Officer A confirmed that the custody agreement the mother had shown him was the most recent and accurate. Landeros asked if they could take their daughter, and Officer A stated that the court paperwork indicated that they could not. • The principal indicated that she would check with the mother to see if she intended to take their daughter from the school and see if they could come up with a plan. She left the office.  18 Summary of Facts • Officer A asked Landeros when their daughter had come to stay with them; Landeros asked why he was asking and stated that they did not want to answer. Officer A then asked Landeros to leave, and stated that if Landeros would not answer questions, then they should leave. • Landeros left the principal’s office. Officer A conferred with Officer B for a moment and informed him that Supervisor C was coming to the school; he also conveyed the information from the mom that Landeros held anti-government and anti-police views. • Officer B approached Landeros, who was standing in the hall. They spoke for a moment before Officer A approached (and captured the interaction on video). Landeros stated that they were waiting for the principal and wanted to speak to the principal before they left. Landeros asserted that the police did not have jurisdiction in a school. Officer A asked Landeros to listen to him. • Landeros, at that point, noticed their daughter and shouted her name. They began to walk past the school exit doors, towards their daughter in the hallway. Landeros shouted to their daughter a few more times, at which point Officer B placed his hands on Landeros’ upper arms and began to attempt to move them toward the exit doors.  19 Summary of Facts • Landeros repeatedly shouted their daughter’s name, as Officer B moved them toward the doors, and Officer A stated “You’re going to end up getting arrested.” • Landeros continued to shout their daughter’s name, and “Let’s go!” as Officer B moved them out of the school and Officer A followed. • Once outside, Officer A stated that Landeros was under arrest. Officer B moved Landeros toward the wall outside of the entrance to the school. Landeros began shouting “Let go of me!” and spun away from Officer B’s grip. • Officer B and Landeros ended up on the ground, at which point the video shows Landeros pull out their firearm. Landeros shot twice: once in the direction of Officer A, and once out and away from the school entrance. • Officer A drew his weapon and shot once, but pulled his shot as he was concerned about accidentally hitting Officer B, as Officer B and Landeros were still wrestling on the ground. • Officer A then aimed his next shot at close range to Landeros and fired. Landeros stopped struggling immediately.  20 Summary of Facts • The Interagency Deadly Force Investigation Team (IDFIT) was called and responded to investigate the incident. • Our office was notified, and the Deputy Police Auditor responded to the scene with Internal Affairs staff. • The IDFIT investigation was reviewed by the Lane County District Attorney’s office, who determined that the involved officer’s use od deadly force was legally justified as self-defense and defense of others. • The IDFIT investigation was then turned over to EPD, and served as the basis for the administrative investigation into the officers’ actions, focused on compliance with EPD policies. • The administrative investigation culminated in a meeting of a Deadly Force Review Board on April 2, 2019. The Board issued its findings in a memo dated April 7, 2019. • Deputy Police Auditor Leia Pitcher served as a non-voting member of the board.  21 Deadly Force Review Board Policies Reviewed: • 800 Use of Force • 801 Use of Force Reporting • 812 Department Firearms • 1203 Body-Worn Video Recommended Adjudication: • The Board made a recommended finding that Officer A’s and Officer B’s actions were within policy. • The Deputy Auditor concurred with that recommended finding.  22 Issues for CRB Discussion • Complaint Intake and Classification • Internally reported; Auditor’s office was notified in a timely manner • Classification: Force Investigation • IDFIT Investigation, Administrative Investigation, and Monitoring • Relevant Department Policies and Practices • 800 Use of Force • 801 Use of Force Reporting • 812 Department Firearms • 1203 Body-Worn Video • Policy and/or Training Considerations • Adjudication Recommendations • Internal Review Board and Deputy Auditor concurred • Additional Comments/Concerns  23 May 28th, 2019 Joint Statement Regarding the 2018 Hate and Bias Annual Report Release We, the organizations signed below, are committed to building and sustaining a community in Eugene that is welcoming and inclusive for every person living here. We are joining together in solidarity with the people and communities who have experienced hate, bias or discrimination in our city in a unified voice to say that hate will not be tolerated here. Hate and bias activity undermines the type of community we all want to live in. We join the City of Eugene as they release the annual Hate and Bias report from 2018. This report highlights just a few of the stories we hear regularly from people in our communities about their experiences of being targeted by hate, bigotry and discrimination. This behavior is simply unacceptable. We know that as a community we can do better. We are a community that welcomes all people with respect and love. The report is available at https://www.eugene-or.gov/529/Hate-and-Bias The first step to addressing any challenge facing our community is to understand it. We ask that if you are a victim of hate, discrimination, or bias you report it. Reporting ensures that these incidents are documented, responded to, and helps ongoing work to reduce hate and bigotry. Criminal activity motivated by hate and bias can be reported to Eugene Police by calling 911 for emergencies and (541) 682-5111 for non-emergencies. Non-criminal hate and bias incidents are reported to HRNI in multiple ways: ▪ Direct report using the online form: https://www.eugene-or.gov/reporthate ▪ Via phone call (541) 682-5177 or email to HRNI staff (hrni@ci.eugene.or.us) ▪ In person at the Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement office (99 W 10th Ave., Eugene-OR 97401) ▪ Transferred from Eugene Police when hate and bias cases reported to police are found to be non-criminal. We are working together to invite each person in our community to act to build the vibrant community we all want to live in: A community that is stronger together, welcomes newcomers, embraces difference, and above all comes together to eliminate hate. Please join us in that effort.
