Roll call. Meeting convened: 10:15 A.M. Members present: Nate Hamilton, Camille Mays, Fred Royal, Gina Zarcone, Tim Baack, Damien Smith, Amy Orta, Jamaal Smith, Steve Jansen. 2. Review and approval of the minutes of the October 2nd meeting. The staff assistant sent out the minutes of 9/23, not 10/2 so they will be reviewed at the next meeting. 3. Discussion of the October 5th work group meeting with MPD and the Milwaukee Health Dept. Mr. Jamaal Smith said that in the meeting with MPD yesterday they discussed the purpose and policy of COP. The COP SOP was released under the former chief and some revisions were made to create unified definition. Since the COP is in the draft state, it can't be discussed publicly until it is before the FPC. They will be looking at Baltimore and Tucson. Mr. Baack said that this document is signed by the prior chief and looks like an official document. Mr. Jansen said that he thinks the draft was created by using the existing COP SOP template. Mr. Jamaal said that he would assume the document was public. Mr. Royal said the draft was submitted for input, then FPC returned it to MPD to work with CCC in its co-creation. Mr. Jansen thought could discuss in general, but no specific. Mr. Hamilton noted that specifics, such as definitions have been discussed. We will reconvene another meeting and have the city attorney attend. Also interested in discussing this in closed session. A quorum was lost at 10:35 A.M. Mr. Hamilton thinks the main objective of the CCC is to have the public's voice heard. Mr. Baack agrees that MPD seems to be trying to stifle the public's voice by not City of Milwaukee Page 1 COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE Meeting Minutes October 6, 2020 COMMISSION making this public. 4. Committee creation, membership, chairmanship and dutites. 5. Creation of other positions, including, but not limited to treasurer or secretary and duties of these positions. 6. Review the Committee budget and institute a budget for the Commission. 7. Details relating to the October 12th media release and press conference. This is a media release/press conference with MPD and it is presumed we will still have this on the 12th. Invite Inspector Murphy. The work group will be meeting on October 19th and agenda items for that meeting will be added to the Friday agenda. The media release will be in conjunction with MPD and, as of now, Chair Hamilton is thinking of a virtual press conference while Mr. Jansen would prefer in-person just for the more visual impact. Mr. Arnold will work with Mr. Hamilton to create a media release. Mr. Paul Mozina said there are a lot of opportunity for the public to see the draft prior to the Policy and Standards Committee meeting, then when it goes before the full FPC. He thinks the draft as it is being drafted should be public. Ms. Block wants the Commission to figure out the quorum issue and she would hate to see members lose interest due to lack of quorum. She said that is critical as the CCC moves forward. Chair Hamilton noted that if members aren't willing to serve on a consistent basis, then how are they removed or replaced or agree to have them serve. Mr. Baack supported any efforts to ensure that we can attain a quorum. FPC also gets public opinion on drafts, so how does this draft differ? Find out Peter's availability for Friday and get a quorum. E-mail Chevy about our lack of quorum for meetings. Unofficially adjourned: 11:06 A.M. 8. Set next meeting agenda, date and time. We need to have members attend so a quorum is present. We need to connect on Friday which gives the staff assistant a chance to connect with the CA's Office. Mr. Jamaal Smith ran through the proposed organizational plan relating to long-term and short-term goals of community-oriented policing as well as reviewing Tucson's plan and make sure CCC is included in the conversation. He felt the meeting yesterday was very positive and very productive. The Baltimore plan will be shared with the entire group. Police Inspector Murphy joined the meeting and Mr. Hamilton expressed his concern that the COP SOP isn't a public document. Inspector Murphy will go back to MPD administration and see what he can do. Next meeting is Friday at 200315 Communication relating to the 2020 activities of the Community Collaborative Commission.
