WE DO A LOT OF WORK WITH THEM. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I THINK I PLACED TWO THAT ARE SET TO START IN THOSE JOBS NEXT WEEK.

LEWIS: COUNCILORS, WE MOVE TO ITEM FOUR. ADMINISTRATION Q&A. LET ME START WITH MS. SENGEL. I KNOW YOU WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON QUESTIONS FROM OUR PREVIOUS MEETINGS. LET ME GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO DO THAT. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. AS COUNCIL INDICATED IN THE PUBLIC FORUM AND PREVIOUSLY THE EXPECTATION RELATED TO ACCOUNTABILITY REGARDING TO THE INVESTIGATION OF THE ACCIDENT THAT CHIEF MEDINA WAS INVOLVED IN ON FEBRUARY 17 IN HIS APD-ISSUED VEHICLE. SUPERINTENDENT GARCIA HAVE AN UPDATE TONIGHT WE CAN PROVIDE. AS WE ALL KNOW, I GAVE A CAVEAT, NEAR THE IMPETUS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OVERSIGHT, WAS TO ENSURE THE CITY IS UPHOLDING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND DISCIPLINE IN A CONSISTENT AND STANDARDIZED WAY. WITH THAT, GOVERNING THIS UPDATE, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE THAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE INVESTIGATION THAT IS UNDERWAY. FIRST, ALTHOUGH IT'S OUT OF THE ORDINARY, BUT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OFFICER TO DO SO BUT WITHIN HIS RIGHT, CHIEF MEDINA AUTHORIZED THE RELEASE OF POST-ACCIDENT TESTING AND ALL OF THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE FOR ANY SUBSTANCES. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE STATED THAT ON THE RECORD. ADDITIONALLY THE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETED BY THE APD TRAFFIC INVESTIGATORS. LED BY SERGEANT MARTIN. ONCE THAT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETE, THE CASE FILE WAS SENT TO THE D.A.'S OFFICE ON FEBRUARY 22nd VIA THE CASE CATCHER. THE SYSTEM THAT ALL CASES GO INTO. WE'LL INVITE THE STATE POLICE TO REVIEW THAT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION FILE. WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT THEIR RESPONSE WILL BE BUT WE'LL INVITE THEM TO REVIEW IT. I ASK SUPERINTENDENT GARCIA WHO IS HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE REGARDING THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD OUTCOME AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATION. BEFORE HE STARTS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I ASKED JUDGE VALDEZ IN HIS ROLE AS AN INDEPENDENT MONITOR FOR DISCIPLINE TO REVIEW THE I.A. INVESTIGATIONS IN FULL AND THE FULL CASE FILE ONCE IT IS COMPLETE. WE WILL FLAG THIS CASE FILE FOR HIM AND IT WILL BE -- HE WILL RECEIVE THAT. HE RECEIVED CASE FILES THROUGH A RANDOM SAMPLING FILING PROCESS. WE CAN FLAG FILES FOR HIM. HE'S AGREED TO DO SO. ADDITIONALLY WE WILL SUGGEST TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE MONITORS THAT THEY WOULD PULL THIS I.A. FILE FOR REVIEW DURING THE APPROPRIATE MONITORING PERIOD. THEY -- ANY OF THAT WOULD HAPPEN ONCE THAT FILE IS COMPLETE. I CAN'T TELL YOU IF IT'S THIS -- SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE COMPLETE IT VERY LIKELY WILL BE THE MONITORING PERIOD. I WANT TO INVITE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL UPDATE RELATED TO THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATION. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, CITY COUNCILLORS. I RECEIVED THE MINUTES FROM THE FLEET CRASH REVIEW BOARD ON THE CHIEF'S CRASH. THE BOARD RULED THE ACCIDENT NON-PREVENTIBLE. THAT PROCESS IS SEPARATE FROM OUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS PROCESS. ANY CRASH BY POLICE PERSONNEL IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD. THEY SEND THE RESULTS TO THE AFFAIRS WHICH IS MYSELF. AND IF IT'S FOUND PREVENTIBLE, WE WILL HAVE DISCIPLINARY ACTION AS NECESSARY. NON-PREVENTIBLE THERE'S NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION ADMINISTERED FOR THE CRASH. I ALSO LIKE TO UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION. IT'S BEING HANDLED PER OUR INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS. THIS PROCESS IS A DETAILED PROCESS THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE MONITORING TEAM AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. AS STATED EARLIER, I'M UNABLE TO GIVE SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION AT THIS TIME. BECAUSE IT IS CONFIDENTIAL. WE ARE THKDING TWO ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THE C.P.O. A. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MCDERMOTT TOLD US AND WE'RE INCORPORATING THOSE INTO THE INVESTIGATION SO THERE'S MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED WITH THIS CASE. OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE. THAT INCLUDES A LOT OF EVIDENCE. OBRD. ON-BODY RECORDING DEVICE. WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO IDENTIFY ANY SECTIONS THAT MIGHT BE VIOLATED. WE IDENTIFIED INDIVIDUALS ON THE SCENE THAT AFTERNOON. AND FROM THAT LIST OF INDIVIDUALS THEY CAN IDENTIFY WHO WAS A WITNESS THAT WE NEED TO REVIEW AND INTERVIEW FOR THE INVESTIGATION. FOR EXAMPLE AN OFFICER THAT WAS AT THE PERIMETER OF THE SCENE, THAT OFFICER MORE THAN LIKELY DOES NOT NEED TO BE INTERVIEWED. AS A RESULT OF OUR REVIEW OF EVIDENCE THE INVESTIGATOR WILL COMPILE A LIST OF QUESTIONS FOR THE WITNESSES. THE INTERVIEW WITNESSES -- AND LOOKING AT THE SOP TO SEE IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL VIOLATIONS IDENTIFIED. AT THAT POINT THE TARGET OF THE INVESTIGATION IS INTERVIEWED. THE TARGET IS INTERVIEWED LAST AFTER WE GATHERED ALL INFORMATION FROM WITNESSES. WITH THAT, I STAND FOR QUESTIONS. >>COUN. LEWIS: JUST A MOMENT. GO TO COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND JUST THE DETAILS THERE. YOUR INVESTIGATORS WILL OBVIOUSLY REVIEW THE FACTS AND THE INVESTIGATION AND WILL HAVE SOME FINDINGS. ANY REPORT WITH THAT ENDS WITH FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS. I GUESS HOW COULD YOU ASSURE US OR THE PUBLIC TONIGHT THAT THOSE FINDINGS WILL BE NON-BIAS? ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE ARE ALL -- YOUR INVESTIGATORS ASK EVERYBODY REVIEWED ARE ALL REALLY FALLING UNDER THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION. I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO BE ABLE TO ASK ASSURANCES THAT THERE IS NOT BIAS WHEN IT COMES TO CONCLUSIONS AND FINDINGS THAT ARE OPEN TO INTERPRETATION. BY PEOPLE THAT WORK DIRECTLY UNDER THE CHIEF. >> COUNSEL COUNCIL PRESIDENT THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION. MY SIDE OF THE DEPARTMENT ANSWERS TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. CURRENTLY, WE ARE ALMOST AT 94% OF OVERALL IN THE CASA. WE'RE AT 92% AS FAR AS DISCIPLINARY ACTION AND HOW WE IMPOSE THAT DISCIPLINE. WITH THE MONITORING TEAM. I THINK THAT SHOWS WE HAVE A GOOD TRACK RECORD OF IMPOSING DISCIPLINE FAIR AND EQUITABLE THROUGHOUT THE DEPARTMENT IN REGARD TO RANK. I HAVE NOT BEEN QUESTIONED AS FAR AS MY DECISIONS BEING MADE. THAT'S WHY I'M IN THIS POSITION RIGHT NOW. >>COUN. LEWIS: SIR, FROM WHAT YOU'VE SEEN, I GUESS YOU LOOK AT CASES IN THE PAST, HAS IT BEEN PROTOCOL THAT ON A SCENE LIKE THIS AT ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE CALLED TO -- THE STATE POLICE, COUNTY, ISN'T THAT COMMON ESPECIALLY FOR AN INCIDENT LIKE THIS? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, AS FAR AS THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT. I CANNOT SPEAK TO THE CRASH INVESTIGATION ITSELF. AS FAR AS INTERNAL INVESTIGATION I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE CONDUCTED BY ANOTHER AGENCY. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. DID YOU SAY THAT THE ACCIDENT IS ALREADY DEEMED NON-PREVENTIBLE? >> YES, SIR. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT CAN BE DEEMED UNPREVENTIBLE WHEN YOU CAN TELL THAT MEDINA'S TRUCK WAS ACCELERATING INTO THE VEHICLE HE HIT. NOT ONLY THAT, MEDINA COULD HAVE MADE A STOP RIGHT THERE OF THE UNDERCOVER VEHICLE WHEN THERE'S POLICE ACTIVITY TAKING PLACE AND USED HIS POLICE ABILITIES TO MAKE AN ARREST BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IF HE WAS IN AN UNDERCOVER VEHICLE HOW -- WHEN THAT PERSON OR THE OFFENDERS HAD NO IDEA WHO HE WAS, HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THAT IT WAS NOT PREVENTIBLE? IT WAS PREVENTIBLE FROM THE START IF THE CHIEF MADE A POLICE ACTION AND EXECUTED POLICE POWERS AND MADE AN ARREST IMMEDIATELY HE WOULD NOT HAVE AN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND WOULD NOT HAVE AN INVESTIGATION. HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS IS NOT PREVENTIBLE? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, I CANNOT SPEAK TO THE RULING FROM THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. WE DO HAVE SERGEANT BURTON THAT CAN SPEAK TO THE CRASH ITSELF, BUT I DO NOT ATTEND THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHY THEY CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: DID YOU NOT ASK THE QUESTION OF THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD AS TO HOW THIS TOOK PLACE? YOU'RE THE BOSS, YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION, IMMEDIATELY YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS ACCIDENT IS NON-PREVENTIBLE. IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION, HOW CAN WE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR DOING A GOOD INVESTIGATION? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, THAT IS NOT THE WAY THE PROCESS WORKS INVOLVING A TRAFFIC CRASH. I DO NOT OVERSEE THE TRAFFIC UNIT. TRAFFIC CRASHES ARE THEIR OWN SEPARATE CATEGORY. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: YOU OVERSEE THE ENTIRE -- YOU'RE THE HIGHEST RANKING OFFICERS IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. >> I DO NOT MAKE A DECISION OF WHETHER AN ACCIDENT IS PREVENTIBLE. I GET THE RESULTS AND WE IMPOSE DISCIPLINE AS NECESSARY. THIS WAS RULED NON-PREVENTIBLE. I CANNOT OVERRULE THE BOARD. THAT IS NOT THE AUTHORITY THAT I HAVE. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SEE AN ACCIDENT THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED BY OUTSIDE ENTITY IS THIS ACCIDENT IS NOT GETTING THE SCRUTINY OR THE EYES IT SHOULD GET. IT'S NOT GETTING WHAT IT NEEDS TO GET IN REFERENCE TO A TRUE, FAIR TRANSPARENT INVESTIGATION. THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU RIGHT NOW. >>COUN. LEWIS: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. DEPUTY CHIEF, JUST TWO QUESTIONS. SINCE THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD, FIRST, DOES THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD MAKE UP OF UNIFORMED OFFICERS? >> COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, THAT'S CORRECT. THE COMMANDER OF TRAFFIC CHAIRS THAT BOARD AND VARIOUS MEMBERS OF TRAFFIC INCLUDING SOMEBODY FROM FLEET, FROM OPERATIONS REVIEW AND FLEET SAFETY MANAGER THAT'S ASSIGNED TO APD. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: THERE'S CIVILIANS AS WELL AS SWORN OFFICERS? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: ARE THERE DETAILS AS TO WHY THEY ISSUED NON-PREVENTIBLE ACCIDENT? >> COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, IN THE MINUTES I RECEIVE THERE'S NOTHING THAT DICTATES OR TELLS ME WHY THEY CAME TO A NON-PREVENTIBLE DECISION. ONLY PREVENTIBLE DECISIONS AND PREVENTIBLE ACCIDENT IS GIVEN A NARRATIVE. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: IS THERE A WAY WE CAN FIND THEIR JUSTIFICATION IN THIS RULING OR THIS FINDING? >> COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, LET ME CALL UP SERGEANT BURNS. HE HAS MORE INFORMATION INVOLVING THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. IN REGARD TO YOUR QUESTION, I BELIEVE WE COULD LOCATE THE NOTES ON THOSE AND PROVIDE THOSE TO YOU. I WOULDN'T HAVE THEM ON ME RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT. I BELIEVE THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN PROVIDE AT LATER DATE AND TIME. WE JUST HAVE TO REQUEST IT. USUALLY THE -- USUALLY THERE ARE NOTES TAKEN. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: MR. PRESIDENT, SERGEANT, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE I.A. DOES NOT RECEIVE THOSE FINDING OR THE NOTES. BUT IT IS DETAILED IN THE REPORT OF THE FINDINGS, SERGEANT? >> SO, WHAT I'LL SAY ON THIS ONE AND I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I WAS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THIS CASE -- SOMETIMES I SIT ON THAT BOARD SOMETIMES I DO NOT. I COULD NOT VERIFY FOR YOU 100% WHAT NOTES WERE TAKEN. I CAN ABSOLUTELY FIND OUT FOR YOU AND PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO YOU. BECAUSE I DID NOT SIT ON THIS SPECIFIC BOARD BECAUSE I WAS INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION I CANNOT ATTEST TO WHAT NOTES WERE TAKEN, IF ANY. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: THE BOARD IS MADE UP OF HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, THIS BOARD IS MADE UP OF FIVE INDIVIDUALS. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: HOW MANY ARE SWORN OFFICERS? >> THERE WERE FOUR SWORN OFFICERS AND ONE CIVILIAN PERSONNEL. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: LET'S MAKE THIS OUR OFFICIAL REQUEST. NOT JUST FOR NOTES THAT WERE TAKEN BUT A CLEAR RESPONSE ON THE REASON FOR DEEMING THE ACCIDENT THE WAY THEY DID. WE'D LIKE TO OFFICIALLY REQUEST THAT FROM YOU. EVEN IF THERE WERE NOTES TAKEN, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE BOARD TO DEMONSTRATE AND GIVE REASONS FOR THEIR CONCLUSION. >>COUN. BASSAN: MR. PRESIDENT, TO ADD TO WHAT YOU SAID, I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT AND IT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE, BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD HAVE SOME KIND OF ANSWER WHEN WE GET TO THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION TONIGHT IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. FOR POINT OF CLARIFICATION, WE DON'T AUTOMATICALLY GET -- WE CAN'T GET THE WHOLE FILE THAT YOU'RE SENDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OR STATE POLICE OR ALL OF THE OTHER ENTITIES YOU'RE SENDING THE COMPLETE FILE TO? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, THE INVESTIGATION REPORT FROM SERGEANT BURTON THAT WAS SUBMITTED IS THE COMPLETE FILE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY PUBLIC RECORD. THERE'S NO REASON WE CANNOT PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: I JUST HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. THIS IS FOR MS. SENGEL. MS. SENGEL, IS EVERY SINGLE PERSON INVOLVED IN THIS INVESTIGATION AND THE REVIEW PROCESS AND THE DISCIPLINARY PROCESS AND THE ACCIDENT PROCESS, ARE ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALS SUBORDIANTES OF CHIEF MEDINA? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE REFORM REPORTS TO KEVIN SURSAU WHO REPORTS TO ME. CHIEF MEDINA IS NOT IN CHAIN OF COMMAND. I WOULD SAY THEY DO I.A. AND THEY DO NOT REPORT TO CHIEF MEDINA. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: LET ME REPHRASE THAT, DOES EVERYBODY THAT I MENTIONED, ARE THEY A SUBORDINATE OF MAYOR KELLER? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, EVERYONE THAT YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR LIST DO WORK FOR THE ADMINISTRATION. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: HOW CAN YOU ASSURE US THAT YOU'RE GIVING US AN HONEST AND FAIR AND TRANSPARENT INVESTIGATION? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THE ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSIBILITY IS TO OVERSEE PERSONNEL AND THEREFORE WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC TO ENSURE THAT IS THE CASE. I WANT TO BE SURE THAT IT WAS CLEAR THAT WE'RE INVITING OTHERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE REVIEW OF THIS PROCESS. THE STATE POLICE ARE INVITED TO REVIEW THE ACCIDENT REPORT AND THE CASE THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS THAT CASE WHICH IS COMPLETED BY OUR INVESTIGATORS, THEREFORE AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW. OUR INDEPENDENT MONITOR WHICH HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AS AN INDEPENDENT MONITOR FOR US TO CONTINUE COMPLIANCE AS WE GO FORWARD WILL REVIEW THIS AND JUDGE MR. VALDEZ AND WE'LL INVITE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHICH WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER AND NO ABILITY TO DIRECT TO ALSO REVIEW THIS IN THIS MONITORING PERIOD. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: AND THAT'S THE REVIEW OF EVERYTHING BASED ON HOW ITS DONE. THE INVESTIGATION IS BEFORE ALL OF THE REVIEWS, THE INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL WORKING UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION. THAT'S MY POINT. >>COUN. LEWIS: I THINK IT'S A QUESTION FOR THE STAFF. THIS IS SOMETHING -- IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ADMINISTRATION HAS LEFT IT OPEN TO THE D.A., MAYBE TO THE STATE POLICE, TO REVIEW THE INVESTIGATION. WOULD IT BE WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE COUNCIL THAT WE OFFICIALLY REQUEST THE STATE POLICE, THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, OR THE D.A. ASK ASK THEM SPECIFICALLY TO DO AN INVESTIGATION? I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THIS COUNCIL COULD REQUEST AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE KEVIN COULD LOOK INTO THAT FOR US. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I'M HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT AND CONTACT WHO WE NEED TO. >>COUN. LEWIS: THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE TO OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION. OR FOR OUR STAFF. COUNCILOR GROUT. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR MR. RAMIREZ. GOOD EVENING, DIRECTOR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WEST SIDE SHELT ANSWER GATEWAY. DO THEY HAVE FULL KITCHENS? >> CURRENTLY, AT THE WES WE HAVE A WARMING KITCHEN AS OF DECEMBER OF 2023. WE FINISHED AND FINALIZED THAT WARMING KITCHEN. >>COUN. GROUT: CAN YOU TELL ME WHY A WARMING KITCHEN IS INSTALLED NOT A FULL KITCHEN? >> AT THAT TIME WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE PRIORITIZATION WE HAD TO DO DORMITORY RENOVATIONS AND LOOKED AT ADDING THE WARMING KITCHEN TO THE FACILITY WE HAD ABOUT $200 TO WORK WITH. WE HAD TO DO BASIC REPAIRS. WE LOOKED AT THE COST ANALYSIS TO SEE WHAT THAT BE. THE KITCHEN WOULD BE $475,000. A FULL-BLOWN KITCHEN WOULD RUN-UP TO $1.5 MILLION. THAT'S JUST FOR THE KITCHEN. NOT INCLUDING THE FOOD OR THE STAFF THAT HAVE TO BE AT THE LOCATION TO COOK THAT FOOD. WHICH RIGHT NOW WE HAVE CHALLENGES OF GETTING STAFFING TO THAT LOCATION THAT FAR OUT. THE BEST THING IS PROVIDE LEVERAGES TO PROVIDE FOOD TO MAKE SURE THERE'S TWO HOT MEALS AND COLD SNACKS. THE KITCHEN IN THE COST ANALYSIS WAS TO LOOK AT WHAT TO UMP LMENT TO INCREASE FEED AND EXPEDITE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE FACILITY FOR THAT. ADDITIONALLY WHEN YOU FULL-BLOWN KITCHEN THERE'S SPACE REQUIREMENT FOR A FULL-BLOWN CAFETERIA. WE'VE BEEN LEVERAGING BED SPACING FOR INDIVIDUALS AND MAKING SURE WE HAVE BED FOR THOSE IN NEED. >>COUN. GROUT: HOW MUCH ARE WE SPENDING ON CATERING? >> I DO HAVE THAT. ROUGHLY, I KNOW THERE'S A REQUEST THIS MORNING. WE BUDGETED $1.7 MILLION. YEAR TO DATE WE'VE SPENT ABOUT 1.2. WE HAVE A REMAINING BALANCE OF HALF-MILLION. AT THE GATEWAY DO WE HAVE A FULL KITCHEN? >> >> YES. THEY HAVE AN 8,000 FOOT SQUARE KITCHEN. THERE'S TEN CODES OF OPERATOR FOR THAT. THEY OFFER FOOD SERVICES FOR THE TENANTS. 11 TENANTS, AND THREE LICENSED HOSPITALS. WHAT WE DID FOR GATEWAY WAS A BUILD OUT OF A WARMING KITCHEN. NO NEED TO DUPLICATE AN ADDITIONALAL KITCHEN THAT REQUIRES COOKS. THE COST ANALYSIS ON THAT INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT AT $2 MILLION FULL KITCHEN, THERE'S ONE ON-SITE BUT WE HAVE CONTRACTS TO HAVE A WARMING KITCHEN IN THE SHELTER AREA. >>COUN. GROUT: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO DO THE CATERING THERE? >> THAT WAS A COST THAT I STILL NEED TO PULL AND NEED TO GET BACK TO YOU. WE'RE PULLING A LOT OF INFORMATION FOR QUESTIONS. I CAN SEND IT. MUCH LESS. BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE 50 INDIVIDUALS THERE. VERSUS WHAT THE AMOUNT OF INDIVIDUALS WE SERVE. >>COUN. GROUT: I KNOW CATERING IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. PEOPLE DON'T TYPICALLY DO CATERING. I KNOW OVER TIME THAT KITCHEN WILL PAY FOR ITSELF. I WONDER IF IT WAS REALLY THE BEST PRACTICE TO PUT IN A WARMING KITCHEN INSTEAD OF A FULL KITCHEN. I'M STILL WONDERING ABOUT THAT ONE. WHAT IS -- -- WE'LL MOVE ON. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE MEN'S SHELTER AT THE GATEWAY? >> THE MEN'S MELTER SHELTER IS UTILIZED OVER THE WINTER. THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR WE'VE DONE THAT. WE HAVE CAPT TO SERVE 35 INDIVIDUALS. THIS YEAR WE DID A PARTNERSHIP WITH ACS TO HOLD BED FOR INDIVIDUALS. FOR THE MOST PART IT'S SUSTAINING ITSELF. WE OPENED IT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. WE DECOMMISSIONED IT AT THE END OF MARCH. IT WAS FOR WINTER OVERFLOW. THAT IS IN THE SECOND YEAR WHICH WE HAVE THE OVERFLOW. I THINK I HAVE NUMBERS. WE SERVED 173 INDIVIDUALS. SOME OF THEM TRANSITIONED TO HOUSING. I HAVE A BREAKDOWN FROM THE TEAM THAT TALKED ABOUT SEVEN TO PERMANENT HOUSING, NINE TRANSITION TO FAMILIES, THREE MOVED TO OTHER FUNDED MOTEL AREAS AND 150 OF THEM WERE BACK INTO OTHER SHELTERS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. NOT ALL AT ONE TIME. BUT, WE HAD DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS OVER THE FIVE-MONTH PERIOD TOTALLING ROUGHLY ABOUT 173 INDIVIDUALS. >>COUN. GROUT: I'M GLAD THOSE PEOPLE FOUND HOMES AND SHELTER. BUT WE CLOSED ON MARCH 31, HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE DISPLACED AND WHERE DID THEY GO? >> THE BREAKDOWN FOR THAT IS ROUGHLY THE INDIVIDUALS WERE ABLE TO EITHER AGAIN GO TO OTHER SHELTERS, ONE INDIVIDUAL WAS INCARCERATED, ONE WENT TREATMENT, NINE TO FAMILY, AND THREE TO SELF MOTELS OR OTHER OPTIONS. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU FOR THOSE UPDATES. I APPRECIATE IT. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR ROGERS. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. MY QUESTION IS A FOLLOW UP ABOUT TRAFFIC AROUND ENCAMPMENTS AND HOW WE'RE RESPONDING TO ENCAMPMENTS AND THE LATEST OPINION FROM THE JUDGE AND HOW THAT CHANGES OUR PROCESSES. I ASK AGAIN BECAUSE I WAS IN MY DISTRICT DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND SAW AN ENCAMPMENT OPERATION WAS OVERWHELMED AT THE AMOUNT OF RESPONSE FOR TWO PEOPLE. WITH TWO TENTS OFF ZUNI. FIVE APD CARS, THREE SOLID WASTE TRUCKS, NO ACS. I STOPPED TO ASK THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WE WERE MOVING IF THEY WERE OFFERED A BED, THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT. I ASKED IF THEY WERE OFFERED STORAGE, THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT. AND I ASKED AND SHOWED THEM THE PAPER IF THEY HAD EVER SEEN THE NOTICE TO MOVE. THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT. AGAIN, I'M GOING TO PUSH THE ISSUE OF HOW WE ARE RESPONDING TO ENCAMPMENTS AND WHY WE'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE PRESCRIBED PROCESS YOU'VE GIVEN US. AND I CONTINUE TO SEE THIS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE TO MOVE FOLKS FOR SAFETY AND THEY CAN'T BE ON THE SIDE WALK. I GET THAT. BUT WE'RE NOT DOING WHAT WE SAY THEY'RE GOING TO DO. AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM ACS. THEY WEREN'T EVEN ON SCENE. >>COUN. BASSAN: MR. PRESIDENT, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A RESPONSE THAT COUNCILOR ROGERS WAS WAITING FOR? >> COUNCILOR ROGERS, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE HAVE DONE AN -- AND EXPECT THE STAFF TO FOLLOW THE PROTOCOL WE INDICATED AND BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC SITE AND SITUATION I DON'T WANT TO MISSPEAK BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE THERE AND ABLE TO ASSESS WHETHER THOSE THINGS OCCURRED. IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR THAT IT DID NOT OCCUR. AND FROM THE INDIVIDUALS BEING IN THE MOMENT THAT WERE THERE AND THAT WAS THEIR EXPERIENCE. WE WILL ABSOLUTELY FOLLOW UP ON THE SPECIFIC SITUATION. SOLID WASTE HAS CONTINUED TO ARRIVE ON SCENE TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS WITH HOW WE KEEP THE AREA CLEAN AND HOW WE SUPPORT THEM IN BOTH STORAGE OF THEIR ITEMS AND I'M SURPRISED TO HEAR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE OFFERED SHELTER. BECAUSE IT'S SUCH -- IT'S LIKE SUPPOSED TO BE WROTE IN THE PROCESS AS THEY DO SO. ACS IS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ARRIVE IN EVERY SITE IN EVERY LOCATION. AND IT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO FOLLOW UP ON THIS SPECIFIC CASE. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO WHAT WITH WE INDICATE WE'RE DOING AND ALL OF THE PARTIES ARE DOING ACROSS THE CITY. >>COUN. ROGERS: JUST A FOLLOW UP, WHAT I'D LIKE TO HAVE IS WHEN YOU'RE DOING OPERATIONS, BECAUSE THIS IS A CONCERTED EFFORT. YOU HAD TO SCHEDULE THE PEOPLE TO GO OUT. THERE -- THERE -- THE RESPONSE WAS HUGE. WHEN YOU PLAN OPERATIONS LIKE THAT IN MY DISTRICT, I WOULD LIKE NOTIFICATION BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING TO GIVE 72-HOUR NOTICE. IT WOULD BE NOT BE UNREASONABLE TO SAY WE'RE PLANNING TO BE HERE TO DO ENCAMPMENT SWEEPS. BECAUSE I'M AT A LOSS OF HOW WE CONTINUE TO DISREGARD CIVIL RIGHTS. I TOOK VIDEO, I TOOK NAMES AND INFORMATION. I'M HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP. I HAVE THE DATES. I HAVE WHO THEY ARE. I DIDN'T SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND KEEP GOING WHERE YOU'RE GOING. I CALLED FOR RESOURCES AND ACS WAS ABLE TO HELP THEM GET TO SOME SHELTER. I WANT US TO TIGHTEN THIS UP. WE HAVE TO. IN WASHINGTON I GOT A GREAT GUIDE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DEAL WITH FEDERAL ENCAMPMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEND THAT SO WE CAN BEGIN TO DO BETTER WITH THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I ALLOW THE DEPUTY C.A.O. TO SPEAK. I KNOW HE'S LOOKED INTO THIS. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, WHEN WE DO ENCAMPMENTS USUALLY ACS ISN'T ON SCENE AS THE ACTUAL ENCAMPMENT IS HAPPENING. THEY USUALLY GO OUT BEFOREHAND SO THERE'S NOT THE PRESENCE OF APD AND ACS. THEY GO OUT FI SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT THAT DO OUTREACH. THEY GO OUT BEFORE THE SWEEP STARTS TOO. AS THE CLEAN UP IS GOING ON IF SOMEBODY REQUESTS ACS OR IF THEY NEED ACS WE CAN CALL THEM AND THEY WILL RESPOND. IF THEY HAVE PEOPLE IN THE AREA TO COME HELP THOSE INDIVIDUALS. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE MISPERCEPTIONS. AS WE HAVE APD AND SECURITY THERE WITH HELPING TO PROTECT THOSE DOING THE CLEAN UP AND SECURE THE AREA THAT ACS IS THERE EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME. THEY USUALLY COME BEFORE, THEY CAN BE DISPATCHED DURING AND SOMETIMES GO BACK AFTER AND CHECK THE AREA. >>COUN. ROGERS: I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION. I ASKED SPECIFICALLY IF THEY WERE OFFERED A BED. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ACS, OR APD, CITY SECURITY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS OFFERING IT, JUST THAT IT GETS OFFERED. IT WAS NOT IN THIS CASE. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP BELABORING. THANK YOU. THE LAST QUESTION, MR. PRESIDENT, IS FOLLOW UP FROM LAST MEETING WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO DID PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT HIS INTERACTIONS WITH SOLID WASTE DURING ENCAMPMENT WATCHES. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS YES. I GAVE YOU A CALL THIS MORNING. AND WE DID REACH OUT TO INDIVIDUALS. HE DID EMAIL US SOME VIDEOS. WE DID LOOK INTO THE SITUATION. AS OF NOW ON FILE WE DON'T WHAT HIS CLAIMS WERE THEY WERE GIVING HIS ADDRESS OUT OR THEY GOT HIS LICENSE PLATE NUMBER. WE WORKED WITH APD AND THEY LOOKED TO SEE, THEY COULDN'T LOCATE HIS LICENSE PLATE WAS LOOKED UP. I REACHED OUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL YESTERDAY AND AGAIN TODAY TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECAUSE WHAT WE WERE SENT WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN EXPLAINED. I ASKED HIM, HE SAID THE VIDEO I'M TALKING ABOUT I DIDN'T SEND. I ASKED IF I CAN SEE THAT ONE BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP US FURTHER WHAT WE CAN DO. BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE DOESN'T SHOW UP. HE DIDN'T WANT TO SEND IT. I TOLD HIM CAN I COME SEE IT BECAUSE WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO MOVE IT DOWN THE ROAD. HE'S GOING TO GET BACK TO ME TOMORROW AND I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>COUN. BASSAN: I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR THE ADMIN. ONE IS ONE THAT CAME UP THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAD A GREAT PRESENTATION AND BRIEFING ON THE STUDY. IT'S ACTUALLY A STUDY THAT I CAN GET BEHIND. THANK YOU. I'M WONDERING, I GOT A COUPLE CALLS FROM UNIONS, AND WE HAVE IT IN OUR PLATFORM WHAT WAS PRESENTED. THEY'RE WONDERING WITHOUT GETTING INTO NEGOTIATION SPEAK WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE HEARING AN UPDATE AND GET FILLED IN AS TO THE STUDY AND HOW THEY FALL INTO THAT. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THE PRESENTATION WAS HELPFUL. WE HAVE A COMMUNICATION PLAN THAT WE HAVE DESIGNED RELATED TO THE CLASS AND COMP STUDY. WE FELT WE NEEDED TO ENSURE YOU HAD A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW FAR WE COME IN THIS AND WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AS WE GO FORWARD. THE SECOND STEP IS FOR US TO PROVIDE A COMMUNICATION WITH ALL OF THE DIRECTORS THAT OVERSEE THE EMPLOYEES THAT OBVIOUSLY ARE IMPACTED BY THE STUDY. AND THIS THIRD STEP IS A PLANNED PRESENTATION TO EACH OF THE UNION REPRESENTATIVES TO ENSURE THEY HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION. WE'VE DONE THAT IN THAT STEP ORDER TO ENSURE WE CAN GET INFORMATION ACCURATELY TO THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE TO REPRESENT THAT INFORMATION. SO THERE'S NO INTENT TO EXCLUDE ANYONE. WE'RE DELIBT ABOUT THE DELIVERY OF THAT. AND THE STAFF GETTING THAT PRESENTATION ARE THE SAME STAFF FOR EACH OF THE GROUPS. I WANT TO ENSURE THE CONSISTENCY. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. IF I REMEMBER, IT WAS PROBABLY SOMETIME IN APRIL AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING UNIONS MIGHT BE ABLE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS BY THE END OF APRIL IS WHAT THEY SHOULD EXPECT. IN ALL FAIRNESS, I ENCOURAGE THEM TO THINK EARLY MAY BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE RUN BEHIND A FEW TIMES. THAT'S GENERALLY WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT. >> YES, THE PLAN THIS WOULD BE DISSEMINATED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF US STARTING, AND WE STARTED WITH YOU ON FRIDAY. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU. ONE MORE QUESTION. THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT NATURE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE IS DOING TO PROTECT THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, I ASKED DEPUTY CHIEF BARKER TO GIVE US A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE THROUGH APD RELATED TO THIS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE WE'VE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME ACROSS THE ADMINISTRATION TO ENSURE WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR FAITH COMMUNITY INCLUDING MULTIPLE, THOUGHTFUL AND INCLUSIVE MEETINGS WE'VE HAD WITH OUR RABBIS AND OTHER FOLKS RELATED TO ANTI-SEMITISM. I CAN'T GET THE M AND THE N IN THE RIGHT ORDER. THANK YOU. I THINK THE DEPUTY CHIEF DIRECTOR CAN SPEAK TO MUCH OF THIS. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. THERE'S A FEW THINGS I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT WE'VE DONE WITH OUR FAITH-BASED COMMUNITY ON NOT ONLY THE JEWISH COMMUNITY BUT ALL OF THE FAITH-BASED. EACH AREA COMMAND TRIES TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CLERGY AND REACH OUT TO THEM FOR ANY CONCERNS THEY HAVE. WE'RE AWARE OF THE SITUATION THAT HAPPENED ACROSS THE NATION. WE ALWAYS REACH OUT AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO PROVIDE SERVICES. IF THEY'RE WANTED OR NEEDED. THE REAL TIME CRIME CENTER LOOKS AT SOCIAL MEDIA AND SEES IF WE HAVE THREATS THAT SHOULD ME CONSIDERED IN ALBUQUERQUE. WE REACH OUT TO CLERGY AND SEE HOW WE CAN ASSIST THEM IN THAT MATTER. WE ALSO HAVE THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. WE HAVE A SEPARATE GROUP THAT FOCUSES ON THE FAITH-BASED COMMUNITY AND HAVE CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AND CONNECTIONS WITH THE CLERGY. WE HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH THE FBI TASK FORCE. THEY'RE CLOSE AND HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH CLERGY AND REACH OUT TO THEM AND COMMUNICATE TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WHEN THEY'RE AWARE OF A SITUATION OF CONCERN. AND AGAIN AT THAT TIME WE REACH OUT AND ASK HOW WE CAN ASSIST THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT WE CAN DO. WHAT WAS DONE ON SPECIFIC INCIDENTS IS PROVIDE OUR SERVICES, WHETHER THAT BE UNIFORMED OFFICERS OR PATROL. ALSO THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROTEST IN THE AREA THEN WE WORK WITH EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM TO SEE WHAT THAT RESPONSE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. WE HAVE UPDATED COMMUNICATION AND MEETING WITH THEM AS REQUESTED. WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER THE WORKING OF THE REALTIME CRIME CENTER. >> IN THE REALTIME CRIME CENTER WE MONITOR EVENTS GLOBALLY AND NOT BASED ON BELIEF SYSTEMS, RACE, ETHNICITY, WE MONITOR THEM BECAUSE OUR CORE MISSION IS PEACE KEEPERS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE SEE SOME OF THESE ISSUES ARISE, THAT WE ARE IN FRONT OF IT. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE OUR MISSION IS IN THE REALTIME CRIME CENTER. WE DEPLOY ASSETS TO CERTAIN AREAS WHETHER IT BE A CAMERA TRAILER, WHETHER IT BE DIFFERENT RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE'S RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED ON BOTH SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM. AND WE MAINTAIN THE PEACE FOR THE EVENT. WE DO LOT OF WORK WITH THE STATE POLICE. AND THE FBI AND JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU. I JUST APPRECIATE THAT. I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT ALBUQUERQUE IS DOING SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. I KNOW THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF, YOU KNOW, RESPONSE AND WHATEVER SIDE PEOPLE ARE ON, I RECOGNIZE ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT AMERICA IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH. LATELY IT SEEMS THERE'S EVENTS HAPPENING WITHIN OUR CITY WHERE ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE PROTEST OR THE INFORMATION OR WHATEVER EVENT IS HAPPENING IS ALLOWED TO USE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THAT'S NOT FAIR AND NOT RIGHT AND NOT WHAT THE AMERICAN DREAM IS ABOUT. I'M GLAD THE CITY IS DOING SOMETHING TO PROTECT THAT COMMUNITY. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AND IF WE'RE GOING TO ENABLE AND ENCOURAGE AND ALLOW WHAT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS WE NEED TO DO THAT WITH EVERYBODY WHILE MAKING SURE WE KEEP EVERYONE SAFE. I APPRECIATE THAT. I HOPE THAT ALBUQUERQUE WILL KEEP A GOOD THUMB ON IT BECAUSE IT'S DEFINITELY NOT SEEMING LIKE IT'S GOING AWAY, EVEN THOUGH I WISH IT WOULD. THANK YOU. IF I CAN DO ANYTHING TO HELP, PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN. >>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. DR. SENGEL, I WANTED AN UPDATE ON R3, THE HUMAN FECES CLEAN UP BILL AND IF THAT CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED AND WHEN PEOPLE CAN REPORT NEEDS TO 311. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN, I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT I EVEN HAVE PHOTO EVIDENCE OF A BUSINESS IN TOWN WHO HAS SENT A PHOTO NOT OF THE SPECIMEN BUT OF THE TRUCK THAT ARRIVED ON SCENE BASED ON REQUESTS TO 311. THEY'RE PLEASED TO HAVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL -- I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME. IT'S CLEAR THEY'RE THERE IN RESPONSE TO THE REQUEST TO THE CITY THROUGH 311. I CANNOT CONFIRM THAT 311 HAS AN UPDATED UNDERSTANDING AND MAKE SURE WE'RE RESPONDING THROUGH THE APPROPRIATION TO FUND THIS. WE'RE TRACKING LOTS OF DATA AND OUR INTENT IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE ARE MAKING AND HAVING AN IMPACT AND WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE REQUESTS. WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO SAY THAT, YES, WE ARE IN FULL OPERATION. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. FIEBELKORN: I HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT CALLED 311 WHO WERE APPARENTLY TOLD THIS IS A PILOT PROJECT. AND I'VE HAD THE CAME COMMENT FROM THE ADMINISTRATION. I WANT TO CLARIFY THIS IS NOT A PILOT PROJECT. IT DID NOT SAY THAT IN THE LEGISLATION. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT OPERATING UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THIS IS A PILOT PROJECT. >> I IMAGINE THE CONFUSION IS THAT WE SUSPECT THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN PUT TO THE CONTRACT, WE'RE NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WILL LAST. THAT'S ABOUT A CONTRACT ANALYSIS ON THE APPROPRIATION MADE. AND SO I THINK THAT'S JUST CREATING SOME CONFUSION FOR FOLKS AS TO HOW WE'LL CONTINUE THIS AS WE GO FORWARD. OUR INTENT IS PERHAPS THE LANGUAGE IS RELATED TO ASSURING DURING THIS CONTRACT WE'RE REPORT OUTDATA SO WE HAVE INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. >>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I APPRECIATE THAT. I WANT TO REASSURE PEOPLE THAT THE LEGISLATION DID NOT SAY PILOT. AND ANY SUGGESTION THAT IT IS A PILOT IS INCORRECT. THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR BACA. >>COUN. BACA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I'LL BE BRIEF. I JUST WANT TO THANK COUNCILOR BASSAN AND APD FOR THE PROACTIVE WORK THEY'RE DOING FOR OUR RE -- JEWISH COMMUNITY AND ALL FAITHS. I WOULD BE REMISED IF I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HOW MANY EMAILS I GOT FOR CITY COUNCIL TO RECOGNIZE A CEASE FIRE FOR GAZA. I SUPPORT THAT CEASE FIRE. THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR GROUT. SDMRG THANK YOU, . >>COUN. GROUT: WE'RE IN BUDGET SEASON. IT'S JUST STARTING. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE QUARTER CENT TRANSPORTATION TAX. I'M GOING TO START WITH MR. MASCO AND COUNCILOR SERVICES. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE TAX? >> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GROUT. COUNCILOR LEWIS, COUNCILOR GROUT, THE QUARTER-CENT TAX IS A GROSS RECEIPTS TAX FOR 25 CENTS FOR EVERY $100 SPENT DEDICATED TO MAINTAINING AND IMPROVING THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM INCLUDING STREETS, TRANSIT, BIKES AND TRAIL WAYS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. THE TASK WAS STARTED IN 1999. I WASN'T HERE. BY MAYOR BACA. AND RENEWED IN 2009. AND AGAIN IN 2019 BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU. MR. PRESIDENT, HOW MUCH AS THE CITY COLLECTED FROM THE TAX AND WHAT DOES THAT FUNDING GO TOWARD? >> COUNCILOR LEWIS, COUNCILOR GROUT, I COULDN'T GIVE YOU AN EXACT NUMBER. I'D HAVE TO GO BACK FOR THE 30 YEARS. 24 YEARS. IN FY22, THE CITY COLLECTED ABOUT $52.3 MILLION. AND FY23 IT WAS ABOUT $55.8 MILLION. THE CITY COLLECTED $33.8 MILLION THROUGH JANUARY OF 2024. SOME BACK OF THE NAPKIN MATH, I DON'T LIKE DOING PUBLIC MATH, BUT THAT SEEMS WE'RE GOING TO COLLECT $57 MILLION THIS FISCAL YEAR. THE TAX APPROVED BY THE VOTERS IS SPLIT BETWEEN THE MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS AS I MENTIONED. NO LESS THAN 57% SHOULD GO TOWARD ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. 5% FOR TRAILS AND BIKE WAYS. AND THE BALANCE, 38%, FOR TRANSIT. HOWEVER IN 2020 AS MANY OF THE COUNCIL MAY REMEMBER THE CITY -- FOR NEARLY $50 MILLION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. WHEN YOU BOND AGAINST A TAX YOU HAVE TO PAY BACK THE DEBT SERVICE. WE'RE ON THE HOOK FOR $3 MILLION UNTIL 2040. ALSO THAT 57% FOR ROAD DEFICIENCY DOES BREAK DOWN TO INCLUDE ROAD MAINTENANCE, CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES AND REHABILITATION. WHAT WE KNOW AS REPAVING THE STREETS. IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT FOR REPAVING THE STREETS, THERE REALLY ISN'T THAT MUCH MONEY. >>COUN. GROUT: CAN YOU TELL ME -- IF YOU REPAVE EVERY STREET IN THE CITY, HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST? >> COUNCILOR LEWIS, COUNCILOR GROUT, THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO REHABILITATE A STREET, EVERYTHING FROM A FULL MILL AND INLAY, THOSE DIG UP THE ASPHALT AND TREATING IT AND PAVING IT BACK DOWN. THAT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE PROCESS WE HAVE. THAT IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 300 AND $500,000 A MILE. CURRENTLY, THE CITY MAINTAINS 4,600 MILES IN THE CITY. NAPKIN MATH WOULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN I WOULD SAY 1.7 AND $2.3 BILLION. CURRENTLY, I WOULD ASK MR. MONTOYA OR DIRECTOR TURNER TO TELL US, FOR THAT NUMBER WE DO ABOUT 20 TO 30 MILES A YEAR. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU. JUST A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS. HOW DO THEY DETERMINE WHAT ROADS ARE REPAVED EVERY YEAR? >> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GROUT. A GREAT PAVING JOB BY THE CITY IS SECOND STREET NORTH OF MENAUL. AS YOU GO FURTHER SECOND IT GETS A LITTLE ROUGH. WE REPAVE THAT PAVEMENT. THE CITY DOES A SURVEY OF PAVEMENT CONDITIONS. THEY RATE THE VARIOUS ROADS IN GOOD, POOR, AND EXCELLENT CONDITIONS. AND THEY TRY TO ATTACK THE POOR CONDITIONED ROADS FIRST. AND WHILE I CAN'T SPEAK ANYMORE AS TO EXACTLY HOW THE ROADS ARE DETERMINED TO BE REPAVED, THAT'S SOMETHING I DEFER TO THE ADMINISTRATION. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. CAN YOU TELL ME IF WE ARE FOLLOWING WHAT IS RECOMMENDED BY THE DMD WHEN THEY FIND A ROAD? THERE ARE SO MANY BAD ROADS I TRAVEL EVERY DAY. THEY'RE ALL OVER THE CITY. LAST WEEKEND I WAS ON RAINBOW ROAD AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I FELT OUT THERE. I KNOW IT HURTS OUR CARS AND I GET TO FIX THOSE CARS. AND THAT'S NOT THE KIND OF REPAIR I WANT. IT'S NOT THE PERSON'S FAULT. WE NEED TO BE DOING BETTER ON OUR ROADS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF STRATEGY WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND HOW THAT IS DETERMINED. DO YOU GIVE THIS -- WHATEVER YOU COME UP WITH, IS THAT WHAT YOU STICK TO? OR DOES SOMEBODY ELSE DICTATE WHAT WILL BE DONE? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR GROUT, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE OUR CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER RESPOND BASED ON HIS HISTORY WITH DMD AND NOW AS C.O. O. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR GROUT, I -- WE DO A FIVE-YEAR ASSESSMENT ON ALL OF THE ROADS. WE HAVE A COMPANY THAT COMES IN OUT OF DENVER AND DOES A FULL INVENTORY OF STREETS, STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS. WE KNOW OUR INVENTORY AND WHAT THE QUALITY AND CONDITION IS OF ALL OF THES AND THAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. WHEN IT COMES TO REHAB, DAVE AND HIS TEAM HAVE A MODEL THAT THEY USE AND EVERY STREET IS ASSESSED IN THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. WHAT THAT DOES IS DAVE AND HIS TEAM DOES AN ASSESSMENT. WE TRY TO LOOK AT THOSE THAT ARE IN THE POOREST CONDITION AND WE ALSO WANT TO BE EQUITABLE WITH EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT. EVERY COUNCIL DISTRICT HAS THE SAME SITUATION. MAYBE A LITTLE HARDER IN ONE AREA BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THE SOIL. AND MAYBE A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE FOOTHILL AREA THE TEMPERATURES ARE MUCH COLDER SO WE DEAL WITH DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOUR QUESTION IS DO WE STIEK DAEK STICK TO STICK TO WHAT WE ASSESSED, THE ANSWER IS YES. THEY PROJECT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO DURING PAVING SEASON. IT'S MARCH THROUGH OCTOBER, I WILL MAKE ONE CHANGE, WE DO ABOUT 200 MILES PER YEAR. AND AGAIN, THERE'S FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT METHODS WE DO TO REHAB THE STREETS. WE LOOK AT CONDITIONS ON SOME PLACES DO A CRACK SEAL. AND OTHER PLACES WITH AN OVERLAY. AND OTHER SITUATIONS IT'S A COMPLETE RESETTING OF THE STREETS. I HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. SPECIFICALLY, I AM NOT -- I ASKED ABOUT SAN MATEO BECAUSE I GO ON THAT STREET A LOT. I WAS TOLD THAT IS A -- THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STATE. CAN YOU SPLAP EXPLAIN THAT? >> SAN MATEO IS A STREET THAT BELONGS TO THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, WITH EXCEPTION OF WHEN YOU CROSS I-40. THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OWNS 200 FEET ON EITHER SIDE. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING. IF YOU'RE DOING THE OFFRAMP OFF I-40 TO SAN MATEO. THEY MAINTAIN THE RAMP ITSELF GOING NORTH OR SOUTH. WHEN YOU GET TO CONSTITUTION IT GOES TO THE CITY. BUT WE OWN ALL OF SAN MATEO. >>COUN. GROUT: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE STREETS TO GET DONE. AND ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION. DO WE USE ANY OF THIS TAX FOR SALARY? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR GROUT, WE USE A SMALL PORTION OF THAT. IT'S AN INDIRECT PORTION THAT WE USE. THESE FUNDS ARE USED FOR POTHOLE REPAIR AND SOMETIMES CURB. AND SOME PORTION OF THE SALARIES COME FOR THE FUND. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR ROGERS. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. JUST HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR ADMINISTRATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SENT A FORMAL LETTER OF COMPLAINT REGARDING APD'S RESPONSE SPECIFICALLY TO THE NEW MEXICO HARM REDUCTION COLLABORATIVE. I MET WITH THEM AND JUST FOR THOSE WATCHING HARM REDUCTION FOR MY HEALTH CARE BACKGROUND IS THE WAY TO REDUCE OVERDOSES. AND ALLOWS FOR FOLKS TO BE SAFE AND REDUCE OVERDOSES. NARCAN, SYRINGES, THERE'S DIFFERENT HEALTH CARE ITEMS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN APD OPERATIONS AT THIS LOCATION WHERE THEY ARE LITERALLY DETAINING PATIENTS IN LINE ASKING FOR CARE. I JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING? DO YOU HAVE THE LETTER FROM THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. I WANT TO POINT OUT WE HAVE A NEW MEXICO LAW AROUND INTERFERING WITH THIS. IT'S CALLED THE NEW MEXICO HARM REDUCTION LAW. THAT ACTUALLY DOESN'T -- IT MAKES IT ILLEGAL FOR US TO DO THIS. CAN WE GET A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH? AND FIND OUT HOW WE CAN MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. >> MR.%, >> I'LL LOOK INTO THIS AND FIND OUT THE SPECIFICS RELATED TO HIS. I DON'T WANT TO UNDERSPEAK ON THIS ISSUE. I THINK I'LL INVITE DC BARKER TO HAVE SOME COMMENTS. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, I AM NOT AWARE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHAT HAPPENED. I TOO WILL FOLLOW UP ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE IF YOU CAN PROVIDE TO ME I'LL FOLLOW UP AND MAKE SURE. AND PROVIDE RESTOPS RESPONSE. >>COUN. ROGERS: I UNDERSTAND THE LETTER CAME IN. AND SOMEONE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION DIRECTED APD TO REACH OUT TO THEM. AND MIKE HERNANDEZ DID REACH OUT. SO SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. I'D LOVE TO FIND OUT WHAT. THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: BACK TO COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THIS QUESTION IS FOR MR. KEEF. ARE YOU AWARE OF DEPARTMENT SPECIAL ORDER IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SO24-40, MANDATORY BRIEFING BY ALL PERSONNEL? CHIEF MEDINA WILL HOLD BRIEFING DURING MARCH AND APRIL 2024, THE FOLLOWING IS BRIEFING SCHEDULE WITH THE DATE AND LOCATION ALL ON DUTY SWORN AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF SHALL BE REQUIRED TO ATTEND. ALL BRIEFINGS WILL BE HELD AT THE APD ACADEMY AT 5412 2nd STREET EXCEPT FOR APRIL 2, 2024 AT 9:30. THE REASON FOR THE SUPPORT SERVICES BUREAU PERSONNEL. THAT BRIEFING WILL BE HELD AT THE APD EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION CENTER. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, I AM NOT. IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE SOMETHING THAT COMES MY WAY. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: OKAY THIS IS ACTUALLY PUT OUT BY THE CHIEF OF POLICE IN REFERENCE TO A MANDATORY BRIEFING. LET ME LOOK AT MY NOTES. DURING THIS MANDATORY BRIEFING, I HAVE PHONE CALLS -- AND I CAN'T SAY THE OFFICER'S NAME FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION, BUT THEY CALLED AND THEY ASKED ME TO SEE IF IT WAS LEGAL FOR THE CHIEF OF POLICE TO HAVE A MANDATORY BRIEFING TO TELL THE TROOPS THAT THEY NEED TO SUPPORT YOU. AND THEY'LL BE ORDERED TO ATTEND THIS MEETING. SOME OF THESE TROOPS FELT INTIMIDATED. AND THEY'RE NOT COMING FORWARD WITH THEIR CONCERNS FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION. AND IS IT ILLEGAL FOR THE CHIEF TO BE LOBBYING POLITICALLY IN A MANDATORY BRIEFING? LOBBYING HIS TROOPS. >> I REALLY CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT. I WOULD HAVE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR APD TO HAVE MANDATORY BRIEFINGS. I HAVE NO SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: DURING THAT BRIEFING, I WAS DESPAIRAGED IN THAT MEETING WHICH I BELIEVE IS UNACCEPTABLE IN REGARD TO SOMEONE THAT WORK FOR THE ADMINISTRATION. THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY. AND SINCE YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT, THE QUESTION AGAIN IS, IS IT OKAY FOR THE CHIEF TO LOBBY HIS TROOPS POLITICALLY IN THE MANDATORY BRIEFING? THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: I THINK WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD AND QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCILORS, BUT IF ANY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS QUESTIONS WE HAD EARLIER, THEY'RE WELCOME TO DO THAT. >> MR. PRESIDENT, THE COMMANDER IS HERE. COMMANDER MARTINEZ AND ONE OF THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. >>COUN. LEWIS: COMMANDER, I THINK THE INTENT IS NOT TO ARGUE ABOUT THE DECISION BUT TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED INTO HERE'S HOW WE CAME TO THIS CUPCLUSION AND THIS IS THE EVIDENCE WE CAME TO. >> OKAY. COUNCIL PRESIDEN -- I'M COMMANDER MARTINEZ. IN REFERENCE TO THE CASH OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE. THIS CRASH SHOULDN'T BE IN FRONT OF THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. WITH IT BEING THE HIGH PROFILE CASE IT IS. WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT THAT WAS MISSED BY SOMEBODY THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT AND FAITH IN THE CRASH BOARD AND WHAT THEY DO FOR THIS CITY AND THE CITIZENS OF ALBUQUERQUE. THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF WHAT THEY DO. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO SERGEANT STONE TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS INSIDE OF CRASH REVIEW BOARD. >> THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD IS A COMMITTEE THAT MEETS. COMMANDER MARTINEZ IS THE CHAIR. COMPRISED OF THE TRAFFIC LIEUTEN WANT, WHICH I'M THE ACTING LIEUTENANT FOR AT THIS POINT. I'M ON THE BOARD. AND TRAFFIC SERGEANT. ONE OF THE TRAFFIC OFFICERS, MOTOR OFFICER, AND THE FIFTH OFFICER, AND ONE OF THE MEMBERS FROM FLEET. THE BOARD MEETS AND VIEWS RASH REPORTS FROM ALL DEPARTMENT VEHICLES AND ALL OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE CRASH AND THEY READ OVER THE REPORT AND LISTEN TO TESTIMONY FROM THE OFFICERS IF THEY WISH TO DO SO. AND THEN THEY TAKE A VOTE ON THE CRASH. THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE BOARD. >>COUN. LEWIS: DID YOU LISTEN TO TESTIMONY FROM THE CHIEF? >> YES, WE DID. >>COUN. LEWIS: ANY OTHER TESTIMONY THAT YOU HAD? >> HE WAS THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO TESTIFY TOWARD THE CRASH. >>COUN. LEWIS: DID THE OTHER PARTIES TESTIFY? >> THE OTHER PARTIES REVIEW THE CRASH REPORT. LISTEN TO THE TESTIMONY, AND WE TAKE A VOTE. >>COUN. LEWIS: YOU REVIEWED THE TESTIMONY? >> WE LISTENED TO THE TESTIMONY. OF CHIEF, WHEN HE CAME IN. >>COUN. LEWIS: ASK YOU CONCLUDED WHAT? WE DETERMINED IT'S A NON-PREVENTIBLE CRASH. >>COUN. LEWIS: SGLNG . >>COUN. LEWIS: WHAT'S THE CRITERIA OF A NON-PREVENTIBLE CRASH? >> I'LL READ THE DEFINITION FOR YOU. NON-PREVENTIBLE CRASH, CRASH THAT INVOLVED A MOTOR VEHICLE THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN AVERTED BY AN ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT WHEN THE DRIVER EXERCISES NORMAL JUDGMENT AND FORESIGHT AND WAS UNABLE TO AVOID IT OR STEPS THAT WOULD RISK ANOTHER KIND OF MISHAP. THAT'S NON-PREVENTIBLE. >>COUN. LEWIS: READ THAT ONE MORE TIME. THIS IS NON-PREVENTIBLE. WHICH YOU CONCLUDED WAS NON-PREVENTIBLE? >> A CRASH THAT INCLUDED MOTOR VEHICLE THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN AVERTED BY AN ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT BY THE DRIVER WHEN THE DRIVER EXERCISED NORMAL JUDGMENT AND FORESIGHT AND WASN'T ABLE TO AVOID IT OR WHICH STEPS WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANOTHER MISHAP. >>COUN. LEWIS: CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHY THE BOARD CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS CRASH MET THAT CRITERIA? >> I CAN'T TESTIFY TO THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. I CAN TESTIFY TO MINE. I THINK CHIEF MEDINA TOOK AN ACT DEALING WITH AN IMMEDIATE FIREARM WITHIN HIS LINE OF SIGHT. I'M SURE IF YOU CAN'T ENGAGE A THREAT IF THERE'S SOMETHING, HE'S IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND HIS WIFE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. I DON'T THINK HE COULD HAVE ENGAGED THAT TARGET. MYSELF, I WOULD HAVE MOVED FORWARD TO GET OUT OF THE IMMEDIATE THREAT. THAT'S PART OF MY DECISION ON WHY IT WAS NON-PREVENTIBLE. HE DID TAKE AN ACT AND I THINK HE EXERCISED NORMAL JUDGMENT AND FORESIGHT GETTING OUT OF THE WAY OF A FIREARM. WE KNOW THERE WAS A FIRE ORM. WE KNOW THERE WAS AN ALTERCATION AND WE KNOW THERE'S A SHOT FIRED. THAT WAS MY DECISION. >>COUN. LEWIS: DID ANY OF THE OTHER MEMBERS HAVE A CONTRARY CONCLUSION? >> NO THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. WE ALL VOTED THE SAME. >>COUN. LEWIS: DID ANYBODY DISCUSS MAYBE A CHALLENGING THE FACT THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE PREVENTIBLE? >> NO. >>COUN. LEWIS: IS EVERYBODY ON THE REVIEW BOARD FALL UNDER THE MAYOR'S PURVIEW OR THE CHIEF'S PURVIEW? >> REPEAT THE QUESTION. >>COUN. LEWIS: DOES EVERYBODY ON THAT BOARD FALL UNDER THE CHIEF'S PURVIEW? >> I BELIEVE SO. WE HAVE THE SAFETY OFFICER THAT FALL UNDER THE CHIEF. >>COUN. LEWIS: AND NOBODY CHALLENGED IT IN ANY WAY? >> THERE WAS NO CHALLENGE. WE ALL VOTED THE SAME. >>COUN. LEWIS: OKAY, COUNCILOR ROGERS. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. DO WE INTERVIEW THE VICTIM? OR THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END? >> NOT FOR THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. IT'S JUST TO DETERMINE IF THE CRASH WAS PREVENTIBLE. THE VICTIM WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE ACTUAL INVESTIGATION CRASH INVESTIGATION WHICH WAS CONDUCTED BY THE CRASH TEAM. >>COUN. LEWIS: DO YOU HAVE THE DEFINITION OF A PREVENTIBLE CRASH? >> YES. A CRASH IN WHICH THE DRIVER FAILED TO DO EVERYTHING THAT REASONABLY COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO AVOID THE CRASH AND IF A DRIVER WHO EXERCISES NORMAL JUDGMENT AND FORESIGHT COULD HAVE FORESEEN THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CRASH AND AVOIDED IT BY TAKING STEPS WITHIN THEIR CONTROL WHICH WOULD NOT RISK CAUSING OTHER KIND OF MISHAP. >>COUN. LEWIS: THE CONCLUSION IS THERE'S NO WAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. THE DRIVER COULD HAVE DONE NOTHING TO AVOID THAT CRASH? >> I CAN'T SAY TO THE DECISION THAT CHIEF MEDINA MADE, BUT AS FAR AS GETTING OUT OF AN IMMEDIATE THREAT, AND BASED ON THE VIDEOS I SAW ON THE REPORT, HIM ENTERING THE INTERSECTION, I THINK THE CRASH WAS UNAVOIDABLE. >>COUN. LEWIS: DID YOU TAKE ANY NOTES FROM THE MEETING WE HAVE? >> WE HAVE A LIST OF ALL OF THE OFFICER'S NAMES. AND THERE'S CHECKMARKS FOR THE PREVENTIBLE CRASHES, NON-PREVENTIBLE CRASHES AND THERE'S CODE WE GET FROM THE SAFETY OFFICER THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE DAMAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THAT KIND OF STUFF. SDMRL OKAY. COUNCILOR ROGERS. >>COUN. ROGERS: CAN WE GET THE DEFINITIONS IN WRITING? CAN WE GET A COPY OF THE DEFINITIONS? HEARING THE INITIAL ONE, IT BRINGS UP SO MANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR ME. ESPECIALLY FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE COULD BE NON-PREVENTIBLE. I JUST NEED TO DIGEST THOSE, IF WE CAN GET IT IN WRITING. >> I'LL GET A COPY OF THE SOP. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, THESE ARE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SOP RELATED TO THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. THEY'RE THE SOP APPLIED TO EVERY CRASH REVIEWED. I'LL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A COPY. I ALSO HAVE NINE COPIES OF THE CASE SUBMITTED TO THE CASE SEEKER AND WE'LL HAND THOSE TO YOU AS WELL. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, AND WE'LL WRAP UP. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. DID ANYBODY ASK ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CHIEF AT ALL DURING THIS INVESTIGATION? >> I BELIEVE THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT QUESTIONS. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: DO WE HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS SOMEWHERE? >> THEY'RE NOT WRITTEN DOWN, NO. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: DO YOU KNOW WHICH BOARD MEMBER ASKED THE QUESTION? >> I DON'T RECALL. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: YOU DON'T KNOW ANY OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED? >> LIKE I SAID, I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT QUESTIONS. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: DO YOU HAVE ANY NOTES YOU TOOK IN REFERENCE TO THE OTHER QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED? >> NO, SIR, I DO NOT. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: WHY NOT? >> I DIDN'T TAKE NOTES. WE DON'T TAKE NOTES. YOU GO OFF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. I'M NOT A VOTING MEMBER. I DOCUMENT WHAT IS SAID AND DONE IN THERE. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: HOW MANY QUESTIONS WOULD YOU SAY WERE ASKED? >> I HAVE NO IDEA. I DON'T KNOW. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: BECAUSE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED WAS WAS CHIEF MEDINA IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. YOU DON'T EVEN GO INTO DETAIL IN REFERENCE TO YOUR ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION BOARD ON WHAT EXACTLY CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. ALL YOU DO IS JUST LET HIM SPEAK AND EVERYBODY VOTED AND THEY WERE UNANIMOUS. WITHOUT ANY -- YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT QUESTIONS WERE ASKED. SOME OF THE MAIN QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED WERE YOU IN AN UNMARKED CAR? YES. WERE YOU IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, WAS THAT PERSON RECOGNIZING YOU AS A POLICE OFFICER. WE DON'T KNOW THOSE QUESTIONS. DID ANYBODY ASK THOSE QUESTIONS? WE HAVE NO IDEA. IF YOU'RE IN AN UNMARKED CAR AND NOBODY RECOGNIZES YOU, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT EVERY PERSON IN THAT AREA WHO WAS IN AN UNMARKED CAR WOULD NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A THREAT TO THE INDIVIDUALS OR THINK THEY WERE IN A THREATENING SITUATION. ONLY ONE PERSON WITH ALL THESE CARS AROUND THOUGHT THEY WERE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF THINGS MISSING FROM YOUR INVESTIGATION. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM THE CRITICISM OF THE PROCESS. I THINK THE QUESTIONS ARE APPROPRIATE AND UNDERSTANDING YOUR PROCESS AND YOU CAN IMAGINE WHY. IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AND IF IT'S A GOOD PROCESS OR NOT. IT'S FAIR, BUT NON-BIAS PROCESS. COMMANDER, YOU ANSWER DIRECTLY TO THE CHIEF? >> THE DEPUTY CHIEF AND THE CHIEF? >>COUN. LEWIS: THE CHIEF GIVES YOU A REVIEW? >> HE GIVES IT TO ME, YES. >>COUN. LEWIS: YOU ANSWER TO HIM FOR JOB PERFORMANCE? >> SURE. >>COUN. LEWIS: IS THE COMMANDER YOUR SUPERVISOR? >> YES. >>COUN. LEWIS: DO YOU GET A REVIEW EACH YEAR? >> YES. >>COUN. LEWIS: HE GIVES YOU REVIEW? >> YES. >>COUN. LEWIS: ARE YOU CAN IMAGINE WHY THERE'S QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS? COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. JUST ONE QUESTION. YOU MADE A STATEMENT WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE. YOU SAID THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE IN FRONT OF THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. WHY IS THAT? WHERE SHOULD IT GO? >> IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH THE FATAL CRASH TEAM. THEY DO THEIR REVIEW AND WRITE IT UP AND IT GOES TO THE D.A.'S OFFICE AND THEY REVIEW IT. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: REPEAT THAT AGAIN. >> THE FATAL CRASH TEAM SHOWS UP TO THE CRASH, THEY INVESTIGATE IT. I DON'T WANT TO MISSPEAK. WE GOT THE CALL FOR THE CRASH. WE GOT TO THE CRASH. FIND OUT WHAT THE INJURIES ARE. THE SERIOUS INJURY CRASH. DO THE INVESTIGATION FOR THAT. WHEN THAT INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED, THEY HAVE THE FATAL TEAM CONDUCT THEIR INVESTIGATION. THEY WRITE STUFF OUT. AND SUBMITTED TO THE CASE CATCHER AND IT GOES TO THE D. A. IF THEY FIND ANYTHING CHARGEABLE THAT WE DIDN'T SEE, THEY CAN PROCEED WITH THE CHARGES. THIS CASE IS A HIGH-PROFILE CASE, AS THE PRESIDENT MENTIONED, EVERYBODY IS DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THE INVESTIGATION IS DONE IN THIS CRASH. THAT'S HOW IT GOT TO THE CRASH RUVIEW BOARD. THAT'S THE OTHER LAYER OF REVIEW TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS ACCOUNTED FOR AND LOOKED AT. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: HAVE YOU HAD TO DO CRASH REVIEWS FOR DEPUTY CHIEFS AND CHIEFS IN THE PAST? THIS IS THE FIRST ONE YOU HAD TO DO? >> OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I CAN'T REMEMBER. SERGEANTS, LIEUTENANTS COME TO THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. >>COUN. LEWIS: A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS. I JUST FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS REVIEW BOARD WOULD CHALLENGE THE PERSON STANDING BEFORE YOU ALL. I JUST FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT A FAIR CHALLENGE OR A GOOD, TOUGH, HONEST QUESTIONING WOULD HAPPEN IN THIS REGARD. WITH WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THIS COUNCIL WAS REQUESTING A DIFFERENT PROCESS. AGAIN, NOT TO BE CRITICAL OF YOU, I THINK YOU'RE DOING YOUR JOB. I THINK YOU'D BE PHASING AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION IN THAT REGARD. COUNCILOR BASSAN. >>COUN. BASSAN: MR. PRESIDENT, SO, THIS IS GONE TO THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. DID THE FATAL CRASH UNIT CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION NORMALLY? >> YES, MA'AM, THEY DO. >>COUN. BASSAN: YOU'RE SAYING TYPICALLY IT GOES TO THE FATAL CRASH UNIT TO VAN INVESTIGATION FOR AN A CRASH LIKE THIS. >> YEAH, NO MATTER WHO IT IS IF IT'S SERIOUS INJURY THEY INVESTIGATE THE CRASH. >>COUN. BASSAN: OKAY. BECAUSE IT DID INVOLVE THE CHIEF, IT WENT TO THE CRASH REVIEW BOARD. IS THE FATAL CRASH UNIT ALSO CONDUCTING A TRADITIONAL INVESTIGATION? AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE INVESTIGATION CASE THAT WAS SENT TO THE D.A.'S OFFICE FROM THE UNIT THAT DID THE INVESTIGATION. AND SO, I ALSO WANT TO INTERJECT THAT PART OF WHY WE WANT TO INVITE THE STATE POLICE TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS AND THE INVESTIGATION TO ENSURE IT WAS THOROUGH AS WELL AS THE D.A.'S OFFICE NOW HAS THE OPPORTUNITY AS STATED BY THE COMMANDER TO REVIEW THAT INVESTIGATION AND DETERMINE IF IT WAS MEETING THE CRITERIA OR THOROUGHNESS. AND WE DO INTEND TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT MONITOR AS WELL AS THE DOJ TO INCLUDE IT IN THE MONITORING. OUR INTENT IS TO HAVE MULTIPLE OUTSIDE VIEWS. >>COUN. LEWIS: OKAY. COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I ALWAYS DO NOT SAY YOUR NAME RIGHT. I APOLOGIZE. SENGEL. IF ALL THESE STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN NOW FOR THE OUTSIDE AGENCY TO REVIEW AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION, WHY NOT REQUEST AN OUTSIDE AGENCY TO DO THE INVESTIGATION? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, I THINK OUR INTENT IS TO COMPLY WITH WHAT WE HAVE SET OUT IN STANDARD ACCEPTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. THE PROCESSES BY WHICH WE INVESTIGATE AND APPLY DISCIPLINE ACROSS ALL OFFICERS OF THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMEN AS A RESULT OF THE CASA. IT WAS IMPORTANT TO US TO UTILIZE WHAT WE HAVE LAID OUT FOR INDEPENDENT MONITORING TO ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO REINFORCE WHAT THIS PROCESS IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION PROCESS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE POLICE REFORM. >>COUN. LEWIS: ALL RIGHT. COUNCILORS, ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I MOVE APPROVAL OF THE MARCH 18th JOURNAL. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION AND SECOND BY COUNCILOR BASSAN.

ROGERS: I NEED TO TAKE THAT OFF OF THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION UNDER COMMUNICATIONS ITEM I-A. >>COUN. LEWIS: THIS IS AN EC FROM THE ADMINISTRATION. IT'S NOT SPONSORED BY ANYBODY. TO PULL THAT OFF OF THE LETTER OF INTRO, WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCEDURE FOR THAT? COUNCILOR, WHAT'S YOUR INTENT? DO YOU WANT TO VOTE ON THIS TONIGHT OR MOVE IT? >>COUN. ROGERS: RIGHT.

ROGERS: I LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE DO WHAT WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO AND LOOK AT OTHER APPLICANTS THAT WANT TO SERVE ON THE BOARD AND WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT. WITHDRAW IT FOR NOW. >>COUN. LEWIS: I THINK IF IT'S ON THE LETTER OF INTRO, THERE'S NO ACTION. MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO LET IT GO. WHEN IS IT SUPPOSED TO GO? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, IT WILL GO TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. YOU HAVE ALREADY APPROVED THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION. IF YOU WANTED TO TRY TO REMOVE HER FROM THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION THERE COULD BE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER AND THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER PASSES THEN WHAT YOU DO AT THAT POINT IS ASK THAT YOU AMEND THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION AND REMOVE THE PARTICULAR EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATION. >>COUN.

GIVE THE ADMINISTRATION TWO WEEKS TO FOLLOW UP AGAIN ON THE EIGHT APPLICANTS YOU SENT ME THAT WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE.

COUNCILOR BASSAN. >>COUN. BASSAN: MR. PRESIDENT, I WANT TO ALSO CLARIFY BECAUSE I ALWAYS TRY TO CLARIFY THIS IS TYPICALLY ABOUT FINALIZING NUMBERS AND THAT'S WHAT THE FLOOR SUB IS, BUT I LIKE TO MAKE SURE FOR THE PUBLIC WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH HOW FAST THIS GOES THAT IS WHAT REALLY SUBSTANTIVE IN THIS FLOOR SUBSTITUTE. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, THAT'S CORRECT. WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN INTRODUCTION WHICH IS ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND NOW THERE'S MULTIPLE PARTIES THAT WORK WITH THE CITY TO GET BONDS ISSUED AND PREPARED. RANDOM COMMENTS COME IN. I MAKE THOSE CHANGES. NOTHING SUBSTANTIVE CHANGED. THE RED LINE IS FIVE CORRECTIONS. IT IS THE SAME. IT JUST CLEANED SOME STUFF UP SO THE FINAL VERSION IS AS NEAT AS POSSIBLE. THE RESOLUTION AFTER THIS THE SAME THING. WHAT HAPPENED IS THE DATE OF THE BOND SALE WAS GOING TO BE EARLY APRIL. IT'S MOVED TO MID-APRIL. THAT CAUSED SOME CHANGES IN THE DATES OF THE RESOLUTION. IT WAS JUST TOO AGGRESSIVE IN THE SCHEDULE. HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION. >>COUN. BASSAN: JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR. YOU'RE SAYING ON THIS BILL IT'S NOT SUBSTANTIVE, BUT THE NEXT ONE THAT'S WHERE THE NUMBERS GET FINE-TUNED? >> YES. THE DATE. >>COUN. BASSAN: OKAY, THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THIS IS O-4. VOTE ONG THE FLOOR SUBSTITUTE. THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? NOW THAT'S UNANIMOUSLY PASSED. THIS IS BACK NOW A VOTE ON THE BILL AS SUBSTITUTED.

PEÑA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. IT'S ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND CONSISTING OF 1 MILLION BOND SERIES 2024 AND 9 MILLION GENERAL OBLIGATION FUND BOND. I MOVE A DO PASS.

LEWIS: MOTION AND SECOND BY COUNCILOR BACA ON THE FLOOR SUBSTITUTE. DISCUSSION FOR THE SUB? >>COUN. PEÑA: I ASK MR. HEREHEAD TO DISCUSS THIS. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR PEÑA. HERE, WHEN IT WAS INTRODUCED THE HOPE OF THE CITY AND SCHEDULE WAS TO SELL BONDS THIS WEEK. NOW THE SALE OF THE BONDS WILL BE THE 18th. THE CHANGE TO THE RESOLUTION IS JUST CHANGE THE DATE SO IT'S ACCURATE. THE AMOUNT OF THE BONDS, AND SALE OF THE PROCESS AND EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT, NOTHING CHANGES WITH THE PROJECT OR ACTUAL MONEY. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: WHAT WAS THE DATE PUSH? >> THE DATE PUSHED. INITIALLY, WHEN WE DID THE -- WHEN THE RESOLUTION WAS INTRODUCED THE SCHEDULE HAD A MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROVAL PROCESS. DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT ULTIMATELY. IN CONSULTATION WITH THE CITY FINANCIAL ADVISORS AND OTHERS JUST MOVED THE SALE DATE TO THE 18th RATHER THAN THE 3rd. IT WAS GOING TO BE TODAY. THE RESOLUTION INTRODUCED HAD THE DATE OF THE 3rd AS THE SALE DATE, THAT'S CHANGED TO BE THE 18th. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: OKAY, BUT WHY? WHY DID YOU NEED THE PUSH? WHY DID YOU NEED TO PUSH THE DATE? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, THE REASON FOR THE PUSH IS WHEN I DID THE SCHEDULE I THOUGHT WOULD BE IMMEDIATE ACTION AFTER FGO. ULTIMATELY IN TALKING WITH FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND LOOKING WHEN TO PLACE THE BOND IT WASN'T NEEDED TO HAVE IMMEDIATE ACTION IT CAN GO THROUGH THE REGULAR LEGISLATIVE PROCESS THROUGH THE CITY. BECAUSE OF THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING IT TONIGHT INSTEAD OF THE SECOND MEETING IN MARCH. THAT CAUSES THE SALE DATE TO CHANGE. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. >>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. LEWIS: OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? THIS IS THE FLOOR SUBSTITUTE. IT'S MOVED AND SECONDED. THOSE IN FAVOR SAY YES AND RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED NO. MOTION PASSES. COUNCILOR PEÑA, ANYTHING ELSE? >>COUN. PEÑA: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. THE BILL AS SUBSTITUTED. RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY YES. MOTION PASSES. >>COUN. LEWIS: WE GO TO GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN PROVIDE LIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL AND VIRTUALLY IF THEY SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT PER THE INSTRUCTIONS PUBLISHED ON THE AGENDA AND WEBSITE. HERE ARE THE GROUND RULES EACH PARTICIPANT HAS TWO MINUTES TO PRESENT. COMMENTS ARE TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE COUNCILORS ONLY THROUGH THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT. ANY DISRUPTIVE CONDUCT CAN RESULT IN REMOVAL. PLEASE READ THE FIRST SPEAKER. I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE ANSWER TO A QUESTION THAT CAME UP REGARDING PUBLIC COMMENT. AS FAR AS OUR RULES GO. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN YOU'RE LIMITED TO TWO AGENDA ITEMS PER MEETING. IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND TWO OTHER AGENDA ITEMS, THAT'S MAXIMUM. THAT'S ACCORDING TO OUR PROCEDURES AND RULES. I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU OF THAT. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS FRANCESCO FOLLOWED BY EARNEST. >> EARNEST FOLLOWED BY TAD. TAD FOLLOWED BY TRINA. >> WELL, THIS LAND IS OUR LAND. MY LAND IS YOUR LAND. WHEN IT COMES TO TAXES AND REGULATION. WHATEVER WE OWNED IT GOVERNMENT HAS HANDS TO TOUCH. MAKE HISABLE AS POSSIBLE. DEBT FOR PEOPLE THIS BURDEN. NOW, THIS COUNTRY SUPPOSED TO BE COUNTRY OF PROSPERITY AND OPPORTUNITY. WHO HAS -- AND THAT BRINGS ME A LITTLE DEEPER TO OUR STREETS. HOW MANY OF THOSE WOMEN AND MEN ON THE CORNER OF CENTRAL AND WYOMING, THAT IS MY AREA. WELL, I DON'T FEEL GOOD WAITING FOR CHANGE. ALSO MANY MENTALLY RESTARTED PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLE ON THE STREETS. WELL IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK. THAT IS SOMETHING TO THINK. >>-- FOLLOWED BY ANANI. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR GROUT, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH CHIEF MEDINA THE LAST THREE YEARS I SUPPORT THE NO CONFIDENCE VOTE OF CHIEF MEDINA. THE CHIEF CONTINUALLY DRAGS OUR DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE MUD WITH HIS LEADERSHIP. THE CRASH HE CAUSED IS PROOF OF HIS INCOMPETENCY TO LEAD OUR DEPARTMENT AND SET A GOOD EXAMPLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR APD. IT WAS CALLUS THE WAY THEY HANDLED THE THE PRESS CONFERENCE AFTER. THE CHIEF AND MAYOR WERE SEEN LAUGHING AND HUGGING AND THE MAYOR HELD THE CHIEF AS A HERO FOR HIS ACTIONS. IT WAS ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT FOR THE CITY. HOW MUCH FURTHER IS THIS DEPARTMENT GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO FALL UNDER THE CHIEF'S LEADERSHIP. WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE COUNCILORS THAT SUPPORT CHIEF? WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE OFFICERS THAT SUPPORT CHIEF AND HIS LEADERSHIP? DO THEY ENJOY WORKING UNDER THE STRESS OF SEEING WHAT THEY DO AND WONDERING IF OR WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE NEXT SCAPE GOAD. THE DEPARTMENT HAS SEEN WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OFFICERS WHO CHOOSE MORALS OVER CORRUPTION. CHIEF AND THE MAYOR NEED TO QUIT BLAMING VICTIMS. CHIEF MEDINA MOCKED ME ON THE NEWS TWO YEARS AGO. EVERYTHING I SAID TODAY IS MORE RELEVANT TODAY. IF THE CITY COUNCIL VOTES NO CONFIDENCE IN THE CHIEF WILL THE MAYOR OVERRIDE THE CHIEF'S VOTE? WHY DID THE MAYOR LIE TO MY FACE AND TELL ME UNFORTUNATELY HE DOESN'T RUN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT? WHAT'S IN IT PERSONALLY FOR THE MAYOR THAT HE ALLOWS OUR DEPARTMENT TO BE SO DRAGGED FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO SEE? WHAT'S IN IT PERSONALLY FOR THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT CHIEF MEDINA? THANK YOU. >> ANANI FOLLOWED BY KENNETH. >> HI. I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT A FEW THINGS. I'M THE BOARD VP OF NEW MEXICO HARM REDUCTION COLLABORATIVE AS COUNCILOR ROGERS MENTIONED. YESTERDAY, NOT YESTERDAY, MONDAY I WAS LEAVING THE OFFICE AND THERE WERE SIX APD OFFICERS COMING TOWARD THE BUILDING ACROSS THE -- OR ACROSS THE STREET TOWARD OUR BUILDING. BUT ALL SIX OF THEM HAD THEIR HANDS ON THEIR FIREARMS. ONE OF WHICH WAS HOLDING A RIFLE OF SOME KIND. I DON'T KNOW GUNS THAT WELL. AND THEY WALKED RIGHT UP TO THE FRONT OF OUR BUILDING, SPLIT INTO TWO GROUPS AND WENT AROUND THE BUILDING AND GOT IN THEIR CARS AND LEFT. THEY EXPLAINED TO THE LANDLORD THAT THEY'RE THERE BECAUSE OF SUSPICIOUS PERSON CALL. BUT SIX PEOPLE WITH GUNS IN THEIR HANDS SEEMS MUCH LIKE FOR A SUSPICIOUS PERSON. ALSO THE THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. I'M THE CHAIR OF THE HUAN RIGHTS BOARD, I'M THE AUTHOR OF THE RESOLUTION THAT THE BOARD PUT OUT. I'M A FORMER MEDITATION TEACHER AT THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER. I WANT TO THANK COUNCILOR BASSAN FOR MENTIONING THE NEED FOR INCREASED SECURITY. I KNOW THERE WAS UNITED AGAINST HATE THINGS. I FORGET WHAT. THERE'S A MEETING I WENT TO ABOUT THAT IN DECEMBER. YEAH, I THINK IT'S BEST FOR EVERYONE IF THE AMOUNT OF GUNS GOING OFF IS KEPT TO A MINIMUM. HERE AND ELSEWHERE. THANK YOU. >> KENNETH FOLLOWED BY ADIMA. ADIMAA FOLLOWED BY MR. DOVER. MR. DOVER FOLLOWED BY JANICE. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE MR. SANCHEZ. I LIKE THE WAY HE IS KEEPING THE POLICE ACCOUNTABLE. MR. LEWIS, I THINK YOU'RE A LICKING BOOTS A LITTLE TOO MUCH. AND NOT CRITICIZING THE OFFICERS ENOUGH. THAT'S WHAT I NOTICE. I APPRECIATE THAT, GUYS. ORIGINALLY WHAT I CAME HERE TO TALK ABOUT WAS FOR THE FOURTH AMENDMENT. COMING TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION OFFICE, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GO IN THERE UNLESS YOU PUT DOWN YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND SHOW SOME I.D. WHICH IS VIOLATION OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT. I THINK EVERYBODY IN THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO IN THERE WITHOUT HAVING TO GIVE I.D. OR GIVING ANY INFORMATION LIKE THAT. THAT'S THE FOURTH AMENDMENT. IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S BUSINESS TO KNOW WHO IS GOING INTO THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS. BY HAVING TO SIGN IN, PUT YOUR NAME IN, PUT A BADGE ON OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ANY PUBLIC CITIZEN SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE OFFICES, TO THE BUILDINGS, TO ANY PUBLIC ACCESSIBLE AREA WITHOUT HAVING TO I.D. THEMSELVES. THAT'S WHAT THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS FOR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SCRUTINIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND HAVING THEM ASK WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHERE WE'RE GOING. YOU KNOW, ALL THAT KIND OF INFORMATION. IT'S OUR FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO BE SECURE IN OUR PERSONS, PAPERS, AND EFFECTS. AT THE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION OFFICE, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO IN THERE WITHOUT BEING I.D.'d. >> JANICE FOLLOWED BY MAHAD. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, CITY COUNCIL, I'M SPEAKING TONIGHT AS A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT TWO AND A VOLUNTEER AS MUTUAL AID OF ALBUQUERQUE. I VOLUNTEER HOLDING OUT CARE PACKAGES OF FOOD AND WATER. OVER YEARS I HAVE BUILT RAPPORT AND TRUST WITH THE COMMUNITY. A MAN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ASKED ME DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE WORST PART OF BEING HOMELESS, I SAID GO ON. HE CONTINUED IT'S HAVING TO SH--IN PUBLIC. IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE AN ANIMAL AND TAKES AWAY YOUR DIGNITY. A FEW BLOCKS AWAY I TALKED TO AN UNHOUSED WOMAN AND APOLOGIZED I HAD TO LEAVE IN A HURRY BECAUSE I NEEDED THE RESTROOM AND THERE'S NOWHERE NEARBY. SHE SAID I HAD TO GO NEAR HERE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL THE POLICE. NOW WHEN I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM I GO TO THE BATHROOM. PLEASE HELP FIND COMMUNITY CENTER SOLUTIONS TO THIS ISSUE. WE NEED PUBLIC RESTROOMS. LIKE THERE ARE IN OLD TOWN AND UPTOWN AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD. COUNCILOR ROGERS INQUIRY ABOUT ENCAMPMENT MISPLACEMENT. I STOPPED TO WITNESS THE SCENE AND SPEAK WITH OVER FIVE CITY VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD BY CAMP RESIDENTS THAT THE OFFICERS DIDN'T KNOW. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE GATHER THERE. THE CAMPS WERE GIVEN NO NOTICE BUT ORDERS TO MOVE ON THE SPOT. NO RESOURCES. NO ACS AVAILABLE ON SHORT NOTICE. NO STORAGE OFFERED. THEY DID CHECK FOR WARRANTS. THIS IS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TAXPAYERS TO MOVE CAMPS ONE BLOCK AWAY. PLEASE SAVE CORONADO DOG PARK. THERE ARE NOT MANY AMENITIES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION APPROVES THIS. THANK YOU. >> MAHAD FOLLOWED BY MIGUEL. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I'M KNOWN AS MO ON THE STREET. I'M ONE OF THE MANY UNHOUSED PEOPLE LIVING OUTSIDE. WHERE DO YOU GO? WHERE DO YOU GO? I CAME ON TO THE STREETS AFRAID OF ROBBERY, AFRAID OF RAPE, ASSAULTS. I AM NOW ON THE STREETS BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF COMMITTING A CRIME AGAINST MYSELF. THE CRIME OF GOING. EVERY TIME I NEED TO USE THE RESTROOM OUR CITY GOVERNMENT HAS PLACED THE RESPONSIBILITY ON PRIVATE BUSINESS. I HAVE TWO CHOICES, GUYS. I ASK A BUSINESS IF I CAN HAVE THE DIGNITY AND RESPECT TO USE A BATHROOM IN PRIVATE, OR BECAUSE I AM NOT A PATRON OF THE BUSINESS I WILL HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE. WHEN DID WE DECIDE THAT PRIVATE BUSINESS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PUBLIC AFFAIRS? OUR PUBLIC BODILY FUNCTIONS. OUR HUMAN FUNCTIONS. THIS IS WHAT YOU EFFECTIVELY DONE, YOU SAID BUSINESS TAKE CARE OF THIS. WE'RE DONE WITH THIS BY NOT OFFERING A SIMPLE THING LIKE A TOILET IN A PUBLIC PLACE. COME ON. IF I WAS PRIVATE BUSINESS I WOULD BE ANGRY AS HECK. AND THEY ARE. THEY ARE. AND I HOPE THIS WORD GETS OUT TO THEM TOO BECAUSE IT IS. AND WHOSE HEADS ARE THEY GOING TO COME AFTER? WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING TO COME AFTER? THIS PANEL, HERE. THANKS. THAT'S IT. >> MIGUEL, FOLLOWED BY SIMON. SIMON FOLLOWED BY JOHN. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCIL, I SPEAK ONLY FOR MYSELF. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION OF NETHERWOOD PARK FOR WHAT THEY ATTEMPTED TO DO. I THANK KRQE ABOUT ALL THAT WAS SETTLED. IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING EXERCISE IN CIVICS. I'VE BEEN LIVING IN ALBUQUERQUE FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS. 50 YEARS IN AUGUST. I CAME IN THE 80s WHEN I NOTICED THE HOMELESS PROBLEM. INDIA DOESN'T HAVE THE DRUG PROBLEM WE HAVE. I WENT ONLINE THE OTHER DAY AND A BRITISH FILMMAKER LEFT HIS CAMERA WITH A RICKSHAW DRIVER AND A VERY EXPENSIVE ONE AND IT WAS RETURNED TO HIM. HE GOES THERE'S VIRTUALLY NO STEALING IN THIS VERY POOR NEIGHBORHOOD. I'VE WORKED ON A PROJECT IN THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT IN THE EARLY 90s. UNM HAS A CLINIC THERE. AND I ASKED THE SECURITY OFFICER, I GO WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD? HE GOES DRUGS. HE GOES THIS USED TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE YOU COULD RAISE YOUR FAMILY. DRUGS. YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF DRUGS. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ARREST PEOPLE AND PUT THEM THROUGH SOME TYPE OF REHABILITATION OR WHATEVER AND SEGREGATE THEM, YOU CAN'T JUST TURN AROUND AND NOT DO SOMETHING WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE ITSELF. I DRIVE UP CENTRAL, AND I WATCH GUN FIRE DOWNTOWN IN FRONT OF THE OLD DISTRICT COURT HOUSE. I WATCH A DRIVE BY SHOOTING MANY YEARS AGO. IT'S NOTHING NEW. I DON'T SEE IT CHANGING. ABSOLUTELY. I THINK YOU'RE JUST KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. THANK YOU. >> JOHN FOLLOWED BY DORINE ON ZOOM. >> I WANT TO THANK JOHN FOR MAKING MY SPECIAL ACCOMMODATION. I AM HERE TO ASK THE COUNCIL TO ASK COUNCILOR SANCHEZ -- >> MA'AM, WHERE IS JOHN MAJOR? [ INAUDIBLE ] >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCIL, GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. TWO QUICK TOPICS. THE INVESTIGATION OFT THE DUI UNIT ILLUSTRATES TWO IMPORTANT FACTS OF THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND LEADERSHIP. SOME APD OFFICERS AND I IMAGINE A SMALL MINORITY ENGAGED IN CRIMINAL CONDUCT. BLATANT CRIMINAL CONSTRUCT. ARREST AND EXTORTION IS NOT A MISTAKE. FOR IT TO SUCCEED FOR A FEW YEARS IT REQUIRES SOMEBODY KNOWS. THEY EITHER DIDN'T KNOW, DIDN'T CARE OR NOT INTERVENE. THE OFFICE OF A STRONG, ETHICAL CONDUCT DISCIPLINE DEPARTMENT. IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE IF IT REQUIRES AN OUTSIDE AGENCY TO RESOLVE IT. IT WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AND HANDLED WITHIN APD. IT WAS HANDLED EXTERNALLY. I CAN'T ADDRESS ALL THE CONTRADICTIONS IN THE CHIEF'S CRASH. MANY OF WHICH WERE PRESENTED THIS EVENING. YOU'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT PREVENTIBLE BUT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD TO GIVE THE EXPLANATION TO IT. YOU WERE GIVEN A DEFINITION, BUT YOU HAVE GIVEN NO CRASH DEFINITION. OR CRASH CHARACTERISTICS. YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD BECAUSE THE CHIEF WAS IN FEAR THEN ALL SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS MUST BE NON-PREVENTIBLE OR REASONABLE. I DON'T THINK THE SAME STANDARD WOULD BE APPLIED TO YOU. I THINK BEING SHOT AT WOULD BE FEARED. FROM CHIEF'S STATEMENTS TO THE PRESS, HE WAS UNDER FIRE. BUT THERE'S BEEN NO TESTIMONY OR EVIDENCE THAT ANYONE SHOT AT HIM OR HIS VEHICLE. THERE'S MULTIPLE GUNSHOTS. HE WITNESSED A CRIME. ONE THAT WOULD ARGUABLY WARRANT POLICE INTERVENTION. HIS DECISION ACCORDING TO WHAT HE TOLD THE POLICE WAS REMOVE HIMSELF FROM THE SITUATION. THAT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECT OF A POLICE OFFICER, AN AGENCY OR CHIEF. I CAN SAY I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE. IF YOU HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD, I HAVE HARD TIME IMAGINING YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE. >> WE MOVE TO DOREEN ON ZOOM. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILOR LEWIS COUNCILORS. I WANTED TO ECHO THAT I SUPPORT THE EARLIER PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING PUBLIC RESTROOMS. THOSE ARE ESSENTIAL NOT ONLY FOR UNHOUSED FOLKS BUT ALSO FOR OUR CHILDREN WHO PLAY IN THE PARKS AND THERE'S NO RESTROOMS FOR THOSE. I WANTED TO NOTE QUICKLY THAT OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE CAME TO A MEETING FOR THE WELLS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND WE TALKED ABOUT A NEW PARK THAT WILL GO IN WELLS PARK AND HIS CHILDREN WERE THERE AND THE FIRST QUESTION THEY ASKED WAS WILL THERE BE A BATHROOM. THOSE OF US WITH CHILDREN IS ALSO WE DON'T PROVIDE PUBLIC RESTROOMS IN THE CITY. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT EC24-110 REGARDING THE DEPARTMENT'S REQUEST TO DECLARE CORONADO DOG PARK NOT ESSENTIAL SO IT CAN BE CLOSED AS A PARK AND SOLD. THE INTENT AND EFFORTS TO SELL IT WITH NO NOTICE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. VERY TROUBLING THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD TAKE STEPS TO CLOSE AND SELL A PARK WITH NO COMMUNICATION OR NOTICE TO THE COMMUNITY. AND THE ADMINISTRATION IS WELL AWARE OF THE SENSITIVE TOPIC OF PARKS AND PUBLIC SAYSES WIN WELLS PARK AFTER WHAT THE CITY ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AT THE MAIN CORONADO PARK. WE'RE PROMISED BY CITY THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY CHOSE CORONADO AND REZONE IT THAT THE DOG PARK WOULD NOT BE AFFECTED. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND PARK TAKEN FROM THE WELLS PARK IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THE DOG PARK IS STILL UTILIZED. THE CLOSURE WOULD MEAN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TREES ON THE PROPERTY AND ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT BLOW TO TREE DEFORESTATION IN ALBUQUERQUE AND THE AREA. THE COMMUNITY OPPOSES THE DESTRUCTION AND REMOVAL OF TREES IN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >> MR. PRESIDENT, THAT'S CONCLUDING OF GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >>COUN. LEWIS: OKAY. WE'LL GOING TO DO OUR 30-MINUTE BREAK. WE'LL BE BACK IN 30 MINUTES. >>COUN. LEWIS: ALL RIGHT. WE WERE ON PUBLIC COMMENT WHEN WE TOOK OUR BREAK. THERE'S ONE OTHER PERSON I'LL GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. MS. JOHNSON. >> THANK YOU. IF I MIGHT, A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION IS A CHANGE, EXCEPTION OR ADJUSTMENT TO RULE OR POLICY. THIS UNDER THE AMERICANS DISABILITIES ACT. I'VE ASKED BRANDON TO SCHEDULE ME BEFORE YOU ALL BEFORE AND I HAVEN'T BEEN -- FORGIVE ME, I'M SO UPSET THAT MY HOUSE WAS STATED -- SWATTED. BECAUSE COUNCILOR SANCHEZ FAILED TO ACT IN TWO YEARS. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL PUT ON THE AGENDA TO ADDRESS HIS FAILURE, THE FAILURES OF APD AND ALBUQUERQUE HOUSING. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS, AND I DESERVE TO LIVE IN DIGNITY AND PEACE. I THINK THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD KNOW HOW BADLY BADLY COUNCILOR Z HAS -- IT'S TERRIBLE. HE WON'T EVEN COME SEE US. WHAT IS THE ISSUE? YOU KNOW WE'RE IN DESPAIR. YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN ABUSED. WE HAVE THREE RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE WEST SIDE COMMUNITY SHELTER BECAUSE YOU ALLOWED THEM TO BE HOMELESS. THIS IS THE SECTION 42 PRAUPTH PROPERTY. YOU WON'T ENFORCE IT. YOU ARE TOO BUSY CHASING AFTER THE CHIEF. HE WILL BE HANDLED. THEY SWATTED MY HOUSE BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO ACT. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GIVE A REVIEW TO THE MORTGAGE FINANCE AUTHORITY. I'M ASKING THIS COUNCIL TO PUT ME ON THE AGENDA, ASK FOR COMMENTS ASK FOR ACS DOCUMENTS, AND ASK FOR DOCUMENTS FROM ALBUQUERQUE HOUSING. IT IS WRONG, IT IS ILLEGAL. THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. >>COUN. LEWIS: THANK YOU, MA'AM. >> SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS I'M ALLOWED MORE TIME. >>COUN. LEWIS: YOU'RE WELCOME AT THE NEXT MEETING TO SIGN UP AT GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> UNDER SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS I'M ASKING FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND IN THAT EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS I'M ASKING FOR THOSE REVIEWS, THOSE DOCUMENTS TO BE HEARD BEFORE THE FULL COUNCIL. I BELIEVE NEXT WEEK I CAN DO THIS COUNCIL AND THEN IN MAY I WANT TO COME BEFORE THE FULL COUNCIL. EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? NEXT WEEK. >>COUN. LEWIS: THANK YOU, MA'AM. WE'RE GOING TO GO ON TO APPROVALS. ITEM A. COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. OC-7, DECLARATION OF NO CONFIDENCE IN POLICE CHIEF MEDINA. I MOVE APPROVAL. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOVED AND SECONDED BY COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. BASICALLY, ALL I WANT TO DO IS TALK FOR A MINUTE. THE REASON I WANT TO TALK IS BECAUSE WHEN I DECIDED TO BECOME CITY COUNCILLOR I CAME IN BECAUSE I SAW A CHANGE. SAW MAJOR CHANGE IN MY CITY. THE CITY WENT FROM BEING A DECENT PLACE TO LIVE AND STARTED TO GO DOWNHILL. STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES WITH DRUGS AND HIRING POLICE OFFICERS. STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR FAMILIES. YOU DECIDED IT'S TIME TO RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE THE CHANGE. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY, REALLY, AFFECTED ME AND MY HEART. I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP. RIGHT AFTER I MADE THAT DECISION, FOUR OFFICERS WERE SHOT ON DUTY. THERE WAS ONLY FOUR OFFICERS IN THAT AREA COMMAND AT THE TIME. THOSE OFFICERS DID NOT HAVE BACK UP. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY -- OTHER OFFICERS TO CALL OUT TO. ANOTHER OFFICER TO COME ASSIST. THEY WERE ON THEIR OWN. ON THEIR OWN. AND THAT, RIGHT THERE, MADE ME REALIZE THAT WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN OUR CITY. YOU KNOW, IN OUR CITY WE HAVE THREE CHOICES. THAT'S TO MOVE FORWARD, STAY THE SAME, OR FALL BACK. AND WHAT I'VE BEEN SEEING IS OUR CITY IS CONSTANTLY FALLING BACKWARD. WE'RE NOT THE SAME ALBUQUERQUE ANYMORE. TO ME, THIS IS A SIMPLE VOTE, IT'S A SIMPLE VOTE ABOUT COMMON SENSE LOGIC TRANSPARENCY INTEGRITY, AND LEADERSHIP. WHEN I USE EACH ONE OF THOSE, COMMON SENSE JUST TELLS US THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR SYSTEM. SOMETHING WE NEED TO CHANGE. LOGIC TELLS US THAT IT'S LOGICAL THAT WE ARE CITY COUNCILLORS AND NEED TO MAKE THAT CHANGE. TRANSPARENCY WHICH WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING ABOUT FOR YEARS, FOR THE LAST YEARS IN REFERENCE TO OUR ADMINISTRATION, HAS NOT CHANGED. IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. YOU TALK ABOUT LEADERSHIP, LEADERSHIP IS AN EXAMPLE SETTING. SOMEBODY THAT SETS THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF LEADERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION IN THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S THE POLICE CHIEF. THE POLICE CHIEF IS LOOKED AT FROM THE POSITION OF AUTHORITY. HE'S LOOKED AT AS AN EXAMPLE SETTER BY HIS OWN TROOPS, BY THE PUBLIC, BY CITY COUNCIL, YOU KNOW IF YOU EVALUATE A POLICE CHIEF WHEN YOU'RE SITTING UP HERE AND WHICH I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO, I LOOK AT IT AND SAY WE'RE STILL FALLING BACKWARDS. AS A CITY. YOU MIGHT THINK SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THIS IS -- SOMEBODY MIGHT SAY IT'S POLITICAL, IT'S NOT. EVERY ONE OF US KNOWS IT'S NOT POLITICAL. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. OUR CITY IS HAVING A VERY, VERY TOUGH TIME NOW. I SEE THE AMOUNT OF FENTANYL THAT'S BEING DEALT AND TRANSPORTED AND TRAFFICKED. I SEE WE HAVE NUMEROUS BIG BOX STORES, WAL-MART AND KHOLE'S AND ALBERTSONS, YOU LOSE THOSE STORES. THAT MEAN WE'RE HERE TO BLAME UP HERE TOO AS COUNCILORS. WHY ARE WE NOT TAKING CARE OF THE PUBLIC AND WATCHING WHAT'S GOING ON? I BRING 28 YEARS OF CITY EMPLOYMENT AS A POLICE OFFICER AND AS A CITY COUNCILLOR. INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE. I'VE BEEN AROUND THIS PLACE FOR A LONG TIME. THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE THAT I BRING TO CITY COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT GETS IGNORED. THIS INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE MAKES -- WHEN YOU HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE AND IT'S NOT LISTENED TO AND IGNORED, SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE THE SAME OFFICERS WHO HAVE LEFT THIS DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEIR INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE DIDN'T MATTER. AND THERE'S PLENTY OF THOSE. I GET THOSE CALLS EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO, WHAT BRINGS ME TO THIS IS CONFIDENCE. THE PUBLIC'S CONFIDENCE. DOES THE PUBLIC HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT? DOES THE PUBLIC HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT? THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US AS CITY COUNCILLORS NEED TO ASK. ANOTHER THING WE NEED TO ASK IS TO ASK OUR OFFICERS, DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SUPPORTED BY THE LEADERSHIP AT YOUR DEPARTMENT? I HAVE OFFICERS CALLING ME. I HAVE CIVILIANS, OFFICERS, DETECTIVES SERGEANTS LIEUTENANTS, CALLING ME SAYING WE NEED HELP. WE CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS ANYMORE. WE'RE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE'RE UNDER DURESS. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE TO DO THINGS ONE WAY, AND THERE'S A DOUBLE STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO LEADERSHIP. AND IT'S MANIFESTING ACROSS THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT. NOT JUST ONE AREA, BUT NOW WE'RE SEEING CORRUPTION IN THE DWI UNIT. WE'RE ALSO SEEING A BAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WHERE SOMEBODY WAS ALMOST KILLED. THAT TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. YOU HEARD TODAY, CERTAIN STORIES ABOUT THAT. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE SENSE. HOW ARE QUESTIONS NOT ASKED? HOW ARE THINGS NOT INVESTIGATED? THESE THINGS DON'T MAKE SENSE TO US, MUCH LESS MAKE SENSE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE OFFICERS WHO ARE TRYING TO DO THIS JOB. I WANT TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR THOSE OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO DO THE BEST THEY CAN UNDER THE SITUATION THEY'RE IN. YOU KNOW, I SAT HERE AND WATCHED A COMMANDER WHO HAD A LOOK ON HIS FACE OF NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WHEN HE WAS EXPLAINING THE ACCIDENT REVIEW BOARD. I COULD JUST SEE IT ON HIS FACE, THE HURT, THE HEARTACHE, WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES YOU'RE IN A CAREER POSITION. THIS CAREER POSITION IS TIED TO THAT LEADERSHIP. THAT LEADERSHIP DOES NOT LIKE THE WAY YOU'RE ACTING OR RESPONDING, THAT LEADERSHIP CAN TAKE ACTION AND HARM YOU OR PREVENT YOU FROM RETIRING. THIS IS A CAREER THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON WANTS. TO SEE SOMEONE IN THAT SITUATION KNOWING THEY HAVE TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS IN A CERTAIN WAY AND BE TOLD TO DO SOMETHING IN A CERTAIN WAY, REALLY BREAKS MY HEART. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE TRANSPARENCY ALL THE WAY UP SKW AND DOWN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT SOMEBODY HAVING TO THREATEN YOUR LIFE OR CAREER. RIGHT NOW, I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT MEDINA CAN RECRUIT OR RETAIN OFFICERS. BECAUSE HE HASN'T. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT MEDINA CAN SLOW DOWN THE DRUG TRAFFICKING IN ALBUQUERQUE BECAUSE HE HASN'T. THESE ARE OVER TWO YEARS. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE MEDINA'S SUBORDINATES WILL INVESTIGATE HIS ACCIDENT WITH TOTAL 100% TRANSPARENCY. BECAUSE THEY WORK FOR HIM. BASED ON THOSE SMALL ITEMS, I KNOW WE AS CITY COUNCILLORS HAVE A LOT OF OTHER QUESTIONS THAT IN MY OPINION HAVE COME UP. BASED ON THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE DEFER THIS BILL AND TRY TO GET SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED. I MOVE FOR DEFERRAL. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION AND SECOND FOR DEFERRAL. WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS EARNEST FOLLOWED BY BOB. BOB FOLLOWED BY JESSICA. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR GROUT, AND COUNCILORS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF ALBUQUERQUE. I RETIRED FROM THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHERE I SERVED IN MANY HIGH LEVEL AND SENSITIVE CAREER SENIOR EXECUTIVE POSITIONS TO INCLUDE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE, DEPUTY ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT COORDINATION, AND ASSISTANT IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER TO NAME A FEW. I RETIRED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AS ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF NATURALIZATION SERVICES. I TAKE NO PLEASURE IN COMING BEFORE YOU IN SUPPORT OF OC24-7. I BELIEVE THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND ANY LEADER OF THE DEPARTMENT MUST BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD AND PERFORM AT A HIGHER LEVEL. OC7-24 IS ABOUT FACTS, PERFORMANCE TRANSPARENCY ACCOUNTABILITY, AND OVERSIGHT. I HUMBLY REQUEST TO PLEASE TAKE THE POLITICS AND PERSONALITIES OUT OF THE EQUATION AND DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU. >> JESSICA FOLLOWED BY JAMES. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR GROUT, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WANT TO PREFACE THIS BY SAYING I DID NOT PERSONAL KNOW CHIEF MEDINA. I DON'T HAVE FAMILY WITH APD. IT'S AN ISSUE OF BEING A LIFELONG RESIDENT AND SEEING LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION. I RECALL ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 WHEN MAYOR KELLER REQUESTED THE RESONATION HIS EXACT WORDS WERE LIKE THE RESIDENTS OF ALBUQUERQUE I WON'T BE SATISFIED UNTIL THIS IS A SAFER CITY. THIS IS TIME TO HIT THE ACCELERATOR. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT STATEMENT WOULD BE MANIFESTED WITH THIS POLICE CHIEF'S ACCIDENT. WHICH SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY BEEN INVESTIGATED BY AN OUTSIDE AGENCY. THERE'S NO WRONGDOING SO THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT THE APPEARANCE IS SOMETHING TO THE EXTENT OF THE FOX IS WATCHING THE HEN HOUSE AND PROVIDING REVIEW OF THE INVESTIGATION TO THE FARMER. I'M NOT NECESSARILY HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT OR THE DWI UNIT SCANDAL OR THE TIMECARD FRAUD. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS IT'S GLOSSED AND TALKED RIGHT OVER. IT'S A NOTHING TO SEE HERE CULTURE. WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE IN POWER, ALBUQUERQUE IS STILL A SMALL CITY. WE'RE A SMALL BIG CITY, BUT WE SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THOSE IN THE ELEVATED POSITIONS. SOME MAY SAY IT'S A DIFFICULT JOB AND WHO ARE YOU TO CRITICIZE, THAT'S THE THING THERE'S MANY DIFFICULT JOBS. IF THEY DON'T QUALIFY INTEREST THE JOB THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN THE JOB. PUBLIC TRUST HAS BEEN ERODED. NOT BECAUSE OF THE GOOD OFFICERS. THEY'RE COLLATERAL DAMAGE. THEY'RE NOT SAFER AND WE DON'T EXPECT THAT BEING SAFE WILL CONTINUE. MEDINA IS NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIA WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIRE HIM. BUT YOU DO. THE QUESTION IS WILL YOU DO WHAT THE CONSTITUENTS WANT? I ASK FOR YOU TO VOTE NO CONFIDENCE ON THIS. THANK YOU. >> JAMES FREEMAN. >> UNANIMOUSLY UNPREVENTIBLE, WHAT A JOKE. I'M SPEAKING IN SUPPORT. THE POLICE CHIEF ACTIONS HAVE BEEN DERELICT THE DWI SCANDAL IS PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT POLICE DEPARTMENT SCANDAL OF THIS GREAT CITY'S HORST. THE POLICE CHIEF'S ACTIONS ON FEBRUARY 17 WARRANTS A DECLARATION OF NO CONFIDENCE. HE DROVE TO A NEWS CONFERENCE AND ON THE WAY TO THE NEWS CONFERENCE HE NOTICED A TENT OR SEVERAL TENTS, NEVER MISSING A CHANCE TO HAMMER THE HOMELESS POPULATION HE STOPPED HIS VEHICLE. UNAN UNRELATED ACTION SOMEONE FIRED A GUN AT ANOTHER PERSON RUNNING DOWN CENTRAL AND THE POLICE CHEF FIRST REACTION IS TO FLEE THE SCENE OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATION. WHAT A COWEREDLY ACT. HE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT THAT SENDS A MAN TO THE HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION. IF THE POLICE CHIEF CALLED ACS OR ANOTHER AGENCY TO CHECK ON THE TENTS, ALL OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTIBLE. TOD WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION. HE'S RECOVERING FROM A BROKEN COLLARBONE, EIGHT BROKEN RIBS, A COLLAPSED LUNG, MULTIPLE LACERATIONS AND GASHES. HE SPENT NEARLY WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE COWEREDLY ACT OF THIS POLICE CHIEF. THANK YOU. >> THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS OC-7. DEFERRAL FOR TWO WEEKS. MOTION AND SECONDED BY COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. MOVED BY COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. SECOND BY COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION OR BACK TO COUNCILOR SANCHEZ? COUNCILOR ROGERS. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. I THINK THIS IS -- IN THIS TWO WEEKS WE HAVE THE DEFERRAL, I'D LIKE TO SEE US COME UP WITH AN ACTUAL PROCESS. I THINK THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE OF HOW DO WE EVALUATE. BECAUSE YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, CHIEF MEDINA IS NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, HE'S AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY. MY HR BACKGROUND SAYS WE SHOULD HAVE A PROCESS BY WHICH WE CAN EVALUATE THE DEPARTMENT AND HIS LEADERSHIP. WE SHOULD, AS A BODY, COME UP WITH WITH THE PROCESS AND HAVE OUR TEAM LOOK AT RESEARCH AROUND HOW DO WE EVALUATE A POLICE CHIEF. I'M SURE OTHER CITIES HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT AND ACTUALLY COME UP WITH A PROCESS THAT WE CAN FOLLOW BECAUSE I'M VERY FIRM ABOUT PROTECTING PEOPLE'S RIGHTS AND I TALK ABOUT APD MAKING SURE WE'RE NOT VIOLATING RIGHTS. WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF PROCESS AND DUE PROCESS FOR EMPLOYEES WITH MY HR BACKGROUND. I THINK IT WOULD BEHOOVE US TO ACTUALLY HAVE A PROCESS BY WITH WHICH WE CAN POINT TO, WE KNOW IT'S TRANSPARENT AND OPEN ABOUT HOW WE BEGIN TO MAKE THIS DECISION. BECAUSE FOR ME AS A NEW COUNCILOR I CANNOT MAKE A DECISION LIKE THIS WITH INFORMATION THAT WE GET ON THE NEWS OR OPINIONS. WE REALLY NEED TO BE ROOTED IN FACTS TO MAKE THESE TYPE OF REALLY HARD DECISIONS. I'D LIKE TO SEE US COME UP WITH AN ACTUAL PROCESS DOCUMENTED WE CAN FOLLOW TO EVALUATE LEADERSHIP. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION IS FOR DEFERRAL. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? COUNCILOR PEÑA. COUNCILOR GROUT. >>COUN. GROUT: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. DO WE HAVE A PROCESS? NO? >> NOT THAT I'M AWARE THAT THERE'S A SPECIFIC PROCESS FOR POSITIONS THAT THIS BODY DECIDES WHETHER TO TERMINATE OR NOT OR NO CONFIDENCE SITUATION, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A SPECIFIC PROCESS. >>COUN. GROUT: WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU FOR THAT. ANOTHER FOLLOW UP QUESTION. SORRY, MR. PRESIDENT. DO WE HAVE AN EVALUATION PROCESS FOR LEADERSHIP IN GENERAL? DIRECTORS OF THE CITY. >> YEAH, I MIGHT DEFER THAT TO DIRECTOR OF COUNCIL SERVICES. >> THE PROCESS FOR IN THE COUNCIL SERVICES. SDMRR I'M TALK . >>COUN. ROGERS: I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION. DOES THE MAYOR'S TEAM HAVE A PROCESS TO EVALUATE DIRECTORS OF THE CITY? I KNOW I'VE BEEN AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY. I WORKED HERE TWO YEARS AND I NEVER HAD AN EVALUATION. THIS IS A LEADERSHIP QUESTION. I THINK ACROSS THE BOARD, FOR ME, AND A BIGGER PROCESS QUESTION. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, I'D BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT EVALUATION PROCESS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M THOROUGH IN THE RESPONSE. I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILOR PEÑA. >>COUN. PEÑA: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. I WON'T BE SUPPORTING THE DEFERRAL. I THINK WE SHOULD JUST VOTE THIS UP OR DOWN THIS EVENING. I THINK IT'S -- I GUESS, I'M GOING TO START OUT BY SENDING MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. I UNDERSTAND HE'S DOING MUCH BETTER, BUT TO THE GENTLEMAN HIT, AND WE'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE TALKING FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT AN ACCIDENT WHERE SOMEBODY LOST THE LIFE OF ONE OF THEIR CHILDREN. I KNOW THESE MATTERS ARE SO SENSITIVE AND SO IMPORTANT. I GUESS MY QUESTION AROUND THIS IS LISTENING TO EVERYTHING AND HEARING EVERYTHING LIKE COUNCILOR ROGERS SAID ON THE NEWS OR THROUGH OTHER INFORMATION OR -- SO THIS RESOLUTION IS IN FRONT OF US AND IT'S VERY SERIOUS. AND FOR ME, I GUESS, THE WAY I LOOK AT THIS IS THAT WE'RE MAKING THESE KIND OF DECISIONS AND WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT I HAPPENED OR NOT HAPPENED, I FEEL LIKE THE DUE PROCESS HAS TO HAPPEN FOR PEOPLE. RIGHT NOW, I FEEL LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS MAKING A DECISION BASED ON PUBLIC OUTCRY, PUBLIC COMMENT, NOT REALLY BASED IN FACTS. WAITING FOR ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS TO COME THROUGH AND FOR THINGS TO BE DETERMINED. WE GO BACK TO THE INVESTIGATION WITH THE DWI, IN THIS RESOLUTION IT SAYS THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO MULTIPLE APD OFFICER'S HAS RESULTED IN DISMISSAL. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS WHEREAS IS TAKING US BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME OF FEDERAL INVESTIGATION, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ROLE THE CHIEF OF POLICE PLAYED IN THIS INVESTIGATION WHETHER HE WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF IT OR WAS HE THOUGHT. BECAUSE I FEEL IF HE WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF HELPING IN THIS INVESTIGATION, WHAT I'M HEARING, DO I KNOW THE FACT, I DON'T, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT HE HAS BEEN. THIS ISN'T RELATED TO THIS RESOLUTION. HE MAY WELL BE SOMEBODY WHO REALLY HELPED. YOU TALK ABOUT CORRUPTION IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, WE WANT SOMEBODY TO ADDRESS THE CORRUPTION AND ISSUES WE HAVE WITH CRIME IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. AND HERE WE HAVE THIS INVESTIGATION WHICH IS TERRIBLE. BUT IT'S BEEN DISCOVERED AND WE'RE MOVING TOWARD FINALIZING THIS INVESTIGATION AND FINDING OUT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENED. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RESULTS OF THAT. AND WE HAVE A WHEREAS IN HERE THAT SAYS INVESTIGATION APPEARS TO SHOW UNCHECKED CORRUPTION. AGAIN, THIS WHEREAS, AND MAYBE I CAN ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY THIS, SOME OF THESE WHEREAS IS WHEN THIS RESOLUTION WOULD BE DEVELOPED OR MAYBE I CAN ASK THE STAFF FROM COUNCIL SERVICES, WHOEVER FEELS LIKE THEY WANT TO ANSWER, SOME OF THE QUESTIONS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE VERY SUBJECTIVE. THEY'RE NOT BASED IN FACT. I DON'T KNOW WHO PREPARED IT OR IF YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT WITH ME. BECAUSE WHEN WE HAVE THESE RESOLUTIONS IN FRONT OF US, AND EVEN THOUGH THE WHEREAS IS A DECLARATION, IT REALLY PUTS OUT THERE FOR THE PUBLIC THIS IS TRUE. AND IT SAYS WHEREAS THESE ALLEGATIONS OF WIDE-SPREAD CORRUPT ACTIONS UNDERMINE THE CONFIDENCE OF THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IT DOES. IT DOES. IT'S VERY SCARY TO THINK THE PEOPLE ENFORCING THE LAWS ARE DOING SOME OF THE CRIMES. AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO HEAR AT THE END OF THE INVESTIGATION WHAT ROLE DID OUR CHIEF PLAY IN THIS? DID HE HELP UNCOVER THE CORRUPTION? IF HE DID, THAT'S AWESOME. IF HE DIDN'T THIS RESOLUTION IS NECESSARY. IT SAYS PROFOUND LACK OF LEADERSHIP. YOU KNOW, I KNOW OUR CITY HAS A LOT OF ISSUES, LOT OF HURDLES WE HAVE TO OVERCOME, SOME OF THE WORK THAT I SEE COME OUT OF THIS CHIEF HAS HAVE BEEN SOME SUCCESSES THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF. WE TALK ABOUT THE PRT TEAMS, OUR PROACTIVE RESPONSE TEAMS. THOSE WERE DEVELOPED A FEW YEARS BACK. AND I KNOW THESE TEAMS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING -- I THINK ONE OF THEM JUST HEARD THAT THEY'RE GETTING AN AWARD FOR DOING SOME OUTSTANDING WORK. AND THESE WERE CREATED OUT OF THE CHIEF AND IT WAS A WAY TO TACKLE PROBLEMS OUTSIDE OF JUST BEING AN OFFICER TO REALLY LOOK AND FOCUS TACKLING PROBLEM AREAS IN OUR CITY. YOU KNOW, WHEN IT SAYS LACK OF LEADERSHIP, IT'S HARD FOR ME T REALLY ABSORB WHAT THAT MEANS, WHETHER THIS IS JUST SUBJECTIVE RESPONSES. I'M GOING TO GO INTO HAVING THE STAFF OR CITY ATTORNEY ANSWER THIS QUESTION. AND THEN MEDINA'S MISMANAGEMENT OF THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FACTS IN THAT ARE. IF IT STATES IN THE RESOLUTION THE FACTS BEHIND HIS MISMANAGEMENT THEN WE HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS. AND THEN -- [ INAUDIBLE ] I'LL STOP THERE. OUR COUNCIL LEGAL, OUR CITY LEGAL CAN ANSWER ARE SOME OF THE COMMENTS SUBJECTIVE, WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE'RE DOING THESE RESOLUTIONS WHERE WE HAVE WHEREAS STATEMENTS. IF WE ALSO, THE FINAL THING IS IF WE VOTE TO HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND WE SAY HE DEMAND HE APPEAR BACK, IT SOMES AS THOUGH THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HIM APPEAR BEFOREHAND. BUT MY QUESTION IS SUBJECTIVE, ALL THESE WHEREAS, AND WHERE THE FACTS IN THESE WHEREAS, AND ALSO I QUESTION -- WE'RE REALLY GETTING INTO DEEP HR QUESTIONS. AND THAT IS CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE JUST BRINGING AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE IN FRONT OF US TO REALLY SCRUTINIZE THEIR WORK SCARES ME. I'D LIKE SOME ANSWERS TO THOSE TWO THINGS. >>COUN. LEWIS: STAFF. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR PEÑA, TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION AS TO WHAT CITY COUNCIL STAFF DID. THE CITY COUNCIL STAFF DID ASSIST IN PREPARATION OF THIS COMMUNICATION. IT WAS DONE AT THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNCILOR. SO THE SPECIFICS OF IT I THINK IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE SPONSOR. AS FOR THE HR IMPLICATIONS AND THE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS OF COUNCIL'S ACTION, I THINK THOSE ARE BEST HANDLED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS RATHER IN THE OPEN FORUM BECAUSE IT COULD IMPLICATE POTENTIAL LIABILITIES TO THE CITY. I'M HAPPY TO ADDRESS THOSE, AND I'M SURE MS. KEEF IS HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE NOT AT THIS TABLE. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I'M SORRY -- >>COUN. LEWIS: IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THEY COULD ADD THAT WE COULDN'T ADD? >> I DON'T BELIEVE SO. I REALLY THINK SAYS WHAT WE NEED TO SAY REGARDING THOSE QUESTIONS. >>COUN. PEÑA: MR. PRESIDENT, I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INDULGENCE. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR PEÑA, IF YOU THINK THERE ARE HR IMPLICATIONS, I DO THINK THAT YOU'RE CORRECT THAT'S PROBABLY BEST DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. CERTAINLY, ACTIONS BY THE COUNCIL TAKING ACTION AGAINST CERTAIN EMPLOYEES FOR CAUSE IF THE FACTUAL BASES IS INCORRECT. -- IN REGARD TO THE INVESTIGATION, APD HAS COOPERATE WOULD THE FBI IN THIS INVESTIGATION. CHIEF MEDINA COOPERATED. WE'RE CONTINUING TO COOPERATE. WE'RE ALSO CONTINUING TO CONDUCT OUR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION, AN ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION. THAT IS ONGOING. AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO COOPERATE. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION ON THE TABLE IS DEFERRAL. OTHER QUESTION, OR DISCUSSION? ON THE REFERRAL. WE'LL GO TO A VOTE. THOSE IN FAVOR SAY YES AND RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED? MOTION FAILS ON A 5-4. COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. IN THAT CASE. I THINK WHAT I HEARD IS THAT THIS NEEDS A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK. I'M GOING TO WITH DRAW IT SO WE CAN WORK ON IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. >>COUN. LEWIS: WE NEED A VOTE ON THAT? >> MR. PRESIDENT, THE COUNCILOR NEED TO APPROVE THAT MOTION AND WITHDRAW. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION TO WITHDRAW. SECOND BY COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. DISCUSSION? THOSE IN FAVOR SAY YES AND RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED NO? MOTION PASSES. WE GO TO FINAL ACTIONS. ITEM 14. COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN. >>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THIS IS O-6. COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE AMENDING THE COMPLETE STREET ORDINANCE REVISED ORDINANCE CHAPTER SIX DEFINITION TO INCLUDE THE DEFINITION OF FAIR ADAPTED DRAIN STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. TO INCLUDE DRAIN STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. I MOVE A DO PASS. >>COUN. GROUT: SECOND. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION AND SECOND FOR A DO PASS. DISCUSSION? WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. WE HAVE MARK. >> GOOD EVENING, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE TODAY. I'M A DISTRICT SIX RESIDENT. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO PASS THIS LEGISLATION AND IN FACT TO EXPAND OUR THINKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF GREEN STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSIDERING INCLUDING NOT JUST IN OUR STREET SCAPES BUT IN EVERY COMMERCIAL BUILDING, EVERY GOVERNMENT BUILDING AND EVERY HOME THAT'S BUILT IN ALBUQUERQUE. WE'RE TWO DECADES BEHIND OUR CLOSEST COMPARABLE CITY WHICH IS TUCSON. WE'RE HOPING TO PLANT 100,000 TREES. THEY'RE PLANTING A MILLION TREES IN THE NEXT YEAR. THEY'VE ALREADY PLANTED 300,000 TREES. THEY BEGAN THIS INFRASTRUCTURE WORK TWO DECADES AGO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THAT WAS OUR ONLY SPEAKER. >>COUN. LEWIS: WE'RE BACK ON THE BILL. SPONSORED BY COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN, COUNCILOR GROUT, COUNCILOR ROGERS, SO BACK TO YOU ALL. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE BILL? >>COUN. FIEBELKORN: IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I'LL DO A QUICK CLOSE. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THIS BILL. I WORKED REALLY HARD WITH COUNCILOR GROUT AND COUNCILOR ROGERS TO GET IT IN THE PLACE WE'RE IN. AND BASICALLY ALL IT DOES FOR THE PUBLIC IS IT ADDS GREEN STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE INTO OUR COMPLETE STREETS ORDINANCE. AND GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR A COUPLE REASONS. MAINLY IT MEANS WE'RE STARTING TO MANAGE THE WATER WHERE IT FALLS. OR VERY CLOSE TO WHERE IT FALLS. RIGHT NOW OUR CITY IS EXPERIENCING FLOODING, AND PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES ON THE ROADS BECAUSE THE WATER IS BEING CHANNELLED MOSTLY IN THE STREETS BECAUSE WE LESS AND LESS PERMEABLE LAND ANYWHERE IN OUR CITY. SO THIS IS REALLY JUST AN ATTEMPT EVERY TIME WE'RE DOING A MEDIAN OR LANDSCAPE BUFFER, WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE WHEREVER WE CAN A GREEN STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE TO KEEP THAT WATER WHERE IT IS SO THAT IT GOES BACK INTO THE GROUND RATHER THAN BEING PUSHED INTO THE STREETS OR DOWN THE STORM WATER SYSTEM. IT REMOVES TOXINS FROM WATER BEFORE IT GETS TO THE RIO GRANDE WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT. IT ALSO CREATES GREEN SPACE, REDUCING URBAN HEAT IMPACT. AND SO IT'S JUST A REALLY SMART URBAN DESIGN THAT LOT OF CITIES ARE USING. I'M PROUD TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO START USING IT IN OUR COMPLETE STREET ORDINANCE. WITH THAT, I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOVED AND SECONDED. THIS IS O-6. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY YES AND RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED NO. MOTION PASSES. ITEM B, COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN OR COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. R-16. >>COUN. SANCHEZ: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THIS IS BY REQUEST. R-16. APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING IF I WILLING OF APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL LAND AND CONSERVATION LAND FOR THE NORTHERN SAND DUNES PROPERTY FOR PROTECTION AND THE MANAGEMENT IN THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE PROGRAM. YOU KNOW, I'M PRETTY ADAMANT ABOUT OPEN SPACES. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. WHEN THEY BROUGHT THIS TO ME, I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MY OLD HORSESHOE IN THE RIO PUERCO. THAT'S A REALLY COOL PLACE. IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. AND COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN AND I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND WORK THIS THROUGH. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GRANT. I'LL LET COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN EXPLAIN THE WAY THE GRANT WORKS OR WE CAN DEFER TO THE STAFF. IF YOU KNOW THE DETAILS. GO FOR IT. SDMRF THANK YOU, . >>COUN. FIEBELKORN: WE HAVE DIRECTOR SIMON THAT CAN ANSWER DETAILS. THIS IS AN APPROVAL FOR THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT TO SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION FOR POTENTIAL FUNDING TO POTENTIALLY FUND THE PURCHASE OF THIS LAND THAT WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR OPEN SPACE SYSTEM. BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, I DID GET A QUESTION DURING THE INTERMISSION BREAK THAT SOMEONE WAS ASKING ABOUT THE DISTANCE FROM DOUBLE EAGLE AIRPORT. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW IT'S 3.7 MILES. JUST SO YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION. IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS WE CAN GO TO DIRECTOR SIMON. >>COUN. LEWIS: COUNCILORS, ANY DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS? MOVED AND SECONDED. MOVED BY COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, SECONDED BY COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN. THOSE IN FAVOR SAY YES. OPPOSED NO. >> WE DID HAVE ONE SPEAKER. >>COUN. LEWIS: MOTION PASSES. WE HAVE A SPEAKER. >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU -- COSPONSOR. YES. PUBLIC HAVE RIGHTS. CITY COUNCIL ALSO HAS RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW, OKAY. NEXT QUESTION. HOW MUCH CITY IS GOING TO PAY? FOR THIS LAND. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW TOO. I THINK SOME COUNCILORS HERE. ANYWAY, THIRD QUESTION IS HOW MUCH DEVELOPER IS GOING TO PAY FOR PROPERTY AT EUBANK AND TANOWAN COUNTRY CLUB. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW OR REMEMBER? COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, I'M SURE REMEMBERS. ANYWAY, THEN WITH THE MESA NEEDS TO BE MESA ALSO USED TO BE LANDFILL AND CITY HAS UNDER CONTRACT TO BUILD. THANK YOU. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

THAT WOULD SOLVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS. WELL, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START WORKING ON THIS SOLUTION? HOMELESS PEOPLE OTHER FOLKS STILL WAITING FOR HOUSING. AND ANOTHER THING, PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITY AND MENTAL PROBLEM, THEY NEED HOUSING. THEY COULD GET OFF THE STREET. THIS CITY COUNCIL HAS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 14 YEARS. THANK YOU. >>COUN. LEWIS: ITEM C. THIS IS R-22. MOVED AND SECONDED BY COUNCILOR SANCHEZ. BACK TO COUNCILOR BACA. >>COUN. BACA: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. R-22 IS REALLY JUST TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. FAST TRACK DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MR ZONE. HOUSING BEING ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ISSUES, I THINK IT WILL ABSOLUTELY HELP ADDRESS THAT. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >>COUN. LEWIS: ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, YES, WE JUST GOT INFORMATION THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. I THINK IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR COUNCIL TO DEFER THAT WE HAVE IT INFORMATION THAT IS CORRECT. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. I WISH WE GOT IT TO YOU SOONER. IT JUST CAME TO MY ATTENTION. I RECOMMEND THE COUNCIL MAKE A DEFERRAL. SDMRL I GUESS . >>COUN. LEWIS: THAT'S UP TO COUNCILOR BACA. DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT FURTHER? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, BASICALLY THE RESOLUTION EXPEDITES HOUSING WITHIN THE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS AS DEFINED ON PAGE 5-9 OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WHEN WE THINK OF CENTERS AND CORRIDORS IT IS MAIN STREETS, AND PREMIUM TRANSIT AND SOMETIMES MAJOR TRANSIT WHICH IS QUITE A LARGE PART OF THE CITY, BUT IN THIS CASE WE'RE ALSO BRINGING IN COMMUTER AND MULTI-MODAL CORRIDORS AS WELL. PLUS THE CENTERS THAT YOU SEE ON THAT PAGE 5-9 WITH A QUARTER MILE BOUNDARY AROUND ALL OF IT. ESSENTIALLY BRINGING IN THE WHOLE CITY. YOU ALSO ADD MRA FOR COMMERCIAL, SO IT'S A LOT. >>COUN. LEWIS: WHAT'S THE REASON FOR DEFERRAL? >> I THINK, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR COUNCILORS TO REVIEW THE MAP BEFORE THEY MAKE A DECISION LIKE THIS SO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IT WOULD IMPACT YOUR DISTRICT. >>COUN. LEWIS: ALL RIGHT. COUNCILOR, AS YOU WISH. >>COUN. BACA: I'D LIKE TO CHANGE MY MOTION FOR DEFERRAL FOR TWO WEEKS. >>COUN. LEWIS: OKAY, TWO-WEEK DEFERRAL, SECOND BY COUNCILOR BASSAN. OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE DEFERRAL? >>COUN. SANCHEZ: I'LL SECOND THAT. >>COUN. LEWIS: OKAY. DEFERRAL. IT'S MOVED AND SECONDED. THOSE IN FAVOR SAY YES AND RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED NO. MOTION PASSES. WE'RE ON OTHER BUSINESS. ITEM 15, EC102 LINE ITEM VETO AMENDING THE CAPITAL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM. DESIGNATING CURRENT APPROPRIATIONS AND CHANGING THE SCOPE OF EXISTING PROJECTS. THIS IS REALLY A TYPO VETO. DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT, MR. PADILLA? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, THIS JUST A SECTION THAT SAID THEY NEED TO DELIVER A REPORT BY APRIL 1, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S APRIL 3rd. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO MAKE A MOTION TO OVERRIDE. >>COUN. LEWIS: DOES COUNCILOR WISH TO ATTEMPT OVERRIDE THEY MAKE A MOTION. IF A MOTION IS NOT MADE IT STANDS. IF THE MOTION IS MADE AND THE SIX VOTES ARE NOT OBTAINED. IT WILL STAND. NO MOTION TO OVERRIDE. THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, CORRECT? THEN THE THIS COUNCIL MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
