Vote on additional funds for Carlton Mayers and update on completed/billed work. Mr. Royal said some bills were submitted for a total of $4,000. Mr. Royal moved to approve an additional $4,000, seconded by Mr. Roman. There were no objections. 5. Discussion about the most recent CJI report. Mr. Leon Todd, Fire and Police Commission (FPC) Director, said the FPC audit positions are now fully staffed and audits are proceeding. The agreement requires that the FPC and MPD audit on a regular basis citizen and police complaints as well as other. The FPC is in compliance or working toward compliance on all aspects of the CJI report and MPD is making progress on other fronts, including traffic stops, field interviews and no-action encounters and frisks, although there is still work to be done on that front. The hope is with the new chief there will be stability and the numbers and documentation will continue to improve. Mr. Baack is concerned that the report overall, while noting progress, also notes a lack of progress in a lot of domains and where progress has actually been lost, particularly in the MPD. Mr. Todd thinks that progress is being made in most areas, due to in-service training and some non-disciplinary, corrective action taken. Some of the numbers are worse than they have been and the FPC staff will be working with MPD staff to improving those numbers. Mr. Jansen asked if there was any consideration by the FPC deciding whether to continue with the acting chief or go with someone else. The Collins agreement was at the top of the list of the FPC board members' decision on moving forward with the next chief selection. Ms. Rivera asked if it has been documented what needs to be documented to get to the other side? The CJI report covers Jan-October 2020 and it takes a full six months to have MPD officers go through in-service training. It wasn't until mid-June that all officers had completed the training. Mr. Todd believes the training will continue to produce improvements going forward and the numbers will continue to improve. Audits done by MPD and FPC are required to be done every 6 months and since FPC audits will be beginning, that will provide information on areas that need improvement. The Chief has expressed that he fully intends to hold police members accountable for their actions and the FPC will be identifying all areas that need improvement and will be focusing on those. Both the FPC and MPD are committed. MPD audits are a sampling, but they do look to see whether or not there are defects or areas of non-compliance and FPC will be doing similar audits in the future. Mr. Todd said he hopes that having stable FPC and MPD leadership will result in moving things forward on a consistent basis. Even if the agreement sunsets, the work will still continue, per Mr. Todd. It is necessary the work continues. 6. Update from the committees and add/remove members. Mr. Jansen said the Research and Survey Committee will be meeting and will select a new chair. The Policy Committee has met with MPD and the FPC. 7. Possible vote and discussion on hiring a consultant for a community survey. Mr. Jansen asked to move this item to the next agenda.
