[00:00:01]
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
UM, WE HAVE TO MOVE A LITTLE COMPLETE TODAY.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF, OF, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT NEED TO, TO DROP OFF.
WELCOME EVERYONE TO OUR PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER.
WE HAVE A LOT TO COVER THIS AFTERNOON.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL ROLE COUNCIL MEMBER MICKI RODRIGUEZ.
COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL CHAIR.
UH, THANK YOU OF COURSE, EVERYONE, FOR BEING HERE.
AND IN ADDITION TO THE APPROVAL OF LAST MINUTE MEETINGS MINUTES, THERE'S TWO ITEMS FOR BRIEFING AND POSSIBLE ACTION.
AND ONE ITEM FOR BRIEFING PURPOSES ONLY TODAY.
MEMBERS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE FIVE MINUTES.
I'M SHORTENING IT TODAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED TIME, UH, TO ASK QUESTIONS IN THREE MINUTES FOR FOLLOW UP.
TODAY, WE'LL BE DISCUSSING TWO GRANT APPLICATIONS, A GRANT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO SUPPORT THE CHILD WELFARE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE PROGRAM, AND THE COMPREHENSIVE SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM FOR STEP GRANT FROM THE, UH, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
OUR LAST ITEM FOR BRIEFING AND ACTION WILL BE AN UPDATE ON RESILIENCY HUBS AND THE CITY'S HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
LASTLY, WE'LL HEAR A BRIEFING ON THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PROCUREMENT.
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE, UM, IT CAN THEY USE THE, UH, COMPUTER TO BUZZ IN SOMEBODY, ANYBODY? WE WILL NEED A VOICE VOTE.
SO THEN JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANNA, UM, COMMENT.
THE FIRST ITEM IN OUR AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM OUR AUGUST 16TH MEETING.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? AND THE SECOND? A SECOND WITH A MOTION.
ANY OPPOSED? ANY OPPOSED? UH, MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
WE'LL, NOW BEGIN WITH PUBLIC COMMENT.
I THINK, DID WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY? MS. THERE WAS NO ONE SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
AND WE'LL GO ON TO I, UH, WITH ITEM TWO A BRIEFING AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON SS A P D GRANT AWARD.
SO, GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY.
UH, I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT TWO GRANT, UH, APPLICATIONS THAT WE'VE PUT IN.
WE WANT TO TAKE THE COUNCIL THIS, UH, THIS WEEK FOR APPROVAL.
UH, THE FIRST ONE IS A JUSTICE ASSISTANT GRANT PROGRAM WITH A JAG GRANT.
UM, THE PURPOSE OF THIS GRANT IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE CITY AND THE COUNTY TO CONDUCT JOINT INVESTIGATIONS IN CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ABUSE CASES.
THE, UM, PROVISIONS OF THIS GRANT REQUIRE THE COUNTY AND THE CITY TO DO, TO MAKE A JOINT APPLICATION.
AND WE'VE DONE THAT AND WE, MATTER OF FACT, THIS GRANT IS A COUPLE DECADES OLD.
WE'VE BEEN DOING IT EVERY YEAR.
SO, ASSIGNED TO THE SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, WHICH INVESTIGATE SEX CRIMES FOR 23 DETECTIVES.
UH, THE JAG GRANT FUNDS FOR TWO OF THOSE EFFECT DETECTIVES.
UH, THOSE DETECTIVES ARE JAG DETECTIVES INVESTIGATE ABOUT 20 CASES A MONTH, AND THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH CHILD SAFE.
CHILD SAFE IS A ONE SHOP STOP FOR, UM, UH, INVESTIGATIONS OF CHILD ABUSE.
AND THE TWO DETECTIVES THAT ARE HIRED FROM THIS GRANT ARE ACTUALLY ASSIGNED TO CHILD SAFE.
SO, THE SO, AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS SO THAT THE VICTIMS ARE NOT RE-VICTIMIZED BY, BY REPEATED INTERVIEWS FROM DIFFERENT FOLKS AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
AND OUR DETECTIVES, UH, SPECIAL VICTIMS DETECTIVE, UH, THEY GO THROUGH, UH, SPECIALIZED TRAINING, UH, LISTED ON THE SCREEN HERE, AND THAT THE LAST BULLET POINT SAYS THAT THEY, THEY GO TO A CHILD CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN CONFERENCE.
THAT CONFERENCE, AND EVERY CONFERENCE THEY GO TO IS, IS MORE TRAINING THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
SO THEY GET EXTENSIVE TRAINING ON BEING ABLE TO, UH, INTERVIEW VICTIMS OF, UH, SEX CRIMES.
AND THE ROLE OF THE JAG DETECTIVES, THEY SEE THE CASE THROUGH FROM START TO FINISH.
UH, THEY DO CHILD FORENSIC INTERVIEWS, AND THIS IS ALL DONE AT CHILD SAFE AGAIN.
UH, THEY INTERVIEW OUTCRY WITNESSES TAKE STATEMENTS FROM THEM, UH, INTERVIEW ADULT AND JUVENILE SUSPECTS.
AND THEY DO, UH, THEY ARE THE ADVOCACY GROUPS AT CHILD SAFE THAT THEY WORK WITH.
AND THE DETECTIVES, UH, THE, ONE OF THEIR GOALS IS TO WORK THROUGH THE ENTIRE CASE FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT WE KEEP THE WITNESSES AND, AND THE VICTIMS AND THE WITNESSES, UH, UM, READY TO TESTIFY AND NOT, NOT, UM, UM, DECIDING THAT THEY WANT TO BACK OFF BECAUSE OF WHATEVER REASON.
UH, OUR PERFORMANCE METRICS GOING
[00:05:01]
BACK TO 2017, UM, THE SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT INVESTIGATES OVER A 9,000 CASES A YEAR.SO THEY'VE GOT A HUGE WORKLOAD.
UH, 2,900 OF THEM INVOLVE CHILDREN.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE WORKLOAD THROUGH, UH, UP THROUGH 2022 ON 2017 IS PRETTY STEADY.
AND THE, UM, JAG GRANT DETECTIVES HAVE HANDLED ABOUT 21% OF THE CHILD RELATED, UH, SEX CASES THAT ARE INVESTIGATED BY S A P D.
THE TOTAL GRANT AMOUNT IS 899,000.
THE GRANT PERIOD IS FROM OCTOBER 21 TO SEPTEMBER THROUGH SEPTEMBER, 2025.
BEXAR COUNTY GETS 60% OF, OF THE, UH, OF THE FUNDING.
THEY ARE THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE GRANT.
MOST OF THAT MONEY, OR ALL THAT MONEY FOR THE COUNTY GOES TO SPECIAL COURTS, UH, TO THE DA'S OFFICE.
UM, ADULT PROBATION, JUVENILE PROBATION.
NOW, THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GRANT, UH, IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEK AT COUNCIL, UH, A SESSION.
WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT, UM, TO THE, A SESSION FOR APPROVAL.
THE NEXT ONE IS THE TDO SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT GRANT, OR THE STEP GRANT.
WE'VE BEEN GETTING THAT GRANT FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NOW.
UH, THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT IS SIMPLY TO ENFORCE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS TO MAKE IT SAFER ON THE STREETS, ON THE HIGHWAYS.
NOT ONLY THOUGH DO WE ENFORCE, UH, FOR COMPLIANCE, WE ALSO DO COMMUNITY OUTREACH, UH, MAKE PRESENTATIONS, AND, UH, UM, SO THAT ENFORCEMENT IS NOT OUR ONLY TOOL, UH, IN ENFORCING, UH, TRAFFIC GRANT OR TRAFFIC, UH, TRAFFIC LAWS.
SO, OUR TRAFFIC UNIT RIGHT NOW IS COMPRISED OF A HUNDRED SWORN, UH, OFFICERS TO INCLUDE SUPERVISORS, SERGEANTS, LIEUTENANTS, CAPTAINS.
IF YOU LOOK AT OUR STEP FORCE AND GRANT, UH, STEP GRANT ENFORCEMENT BACK SINCE 2018, I WANT YOU TO NOTICE ONE THING ON THIS, ON THE, UH, METRICS HERE.
SO, IF YOU LOOK AT 2018, YOU'LL SEE THAT OUR CITATIONS, UH, WE WROTE ABOUT 11,000 AND JUST ABOUT 2000 WARNINGS.
WE WROTE 3000 CITATIONS AND 7,000 WARNINGS.
SO WHAT HAPPENED THERE, IF YOU LOOK DOWN THE, DOWN THE, THE, UH, THE ROW, YOU'LL SEE THAT CITATIONS HAS INCREASED EVERY YEAR.
AND I'M SORRY, WARNINGS HAVE INCREASED EVERY YEAR, AND CITATIONS HAVE DROPPED OFF.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE STATE HAS ALLOWED US TO WRITE WARNING CITATIONS AS OPPOSED TO NOTHING.
SO ON THE NEXT PAGE, UM, TXDOT PRETTY MUCH TELLS US WHERE TO GO TO, UH, RUN THESE OPERATIONS.
AND THE CIRCLES THAT YOU SEE, UH, ON THE MAP ARE, UH, AREAS THAT, UH, NEED ATTENTION AS FAR AS TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS GO.
AND THEN AGAIN, THAT, THAT DATA IS PROVIDED BY AND SET BY TXDOT.
AND, AND THE GOAL, AGAIN, IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND CRASHES.
SO SINCE 2018, UM, SS A P HAS PRESENTED 136 PRESENTATIONS AT DIFFERENT EVENTS, AND THEN 50 57 COMMUNITY EVENTS WE ATTENDED.
AND WE SET UP BOOSTS, UH, INTERACTIVE BOOST EXHIBITIONS.
UH, WE HAVE A, A WRAPPED VEHICLE THERE, UH, THAT HAS A, UH, SAFETY THEME FOR DISPLAY ON IT.
GRANT AWARD IS FROM OCTOBER 1ST, 2022 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2023.
UH, GRANT FUNDING IS, UH, 843,000 WITH A CASH MATCH OF 265,000 AND AN IN-KIND MATCH OF 77,000.
AND AGAIN, WE PLAN TO BRING THIS TO COUNCIL THURSDAY FOR APPROVAL.
AND THAT'LL BE IT FOR ME IN THE JOB.
IF PAUL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION CHIEF.
UM, OF COURSE, UH, SEX CRIMES ARE PARTICULARLY HEINOUS, BUT ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE CHILDREN.
SO WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT OUR SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT DOES FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND ALL OUR OFFICERS.
UM, BUT THAT, I CAN IMAGINE THAT THAT'S INCREDIBLY STRESSFUL WORK, UM, TO BE A PART OF THAT.
SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF THEIR WORK AND DEDICATION.
I WENT TO CHILD SAFE A WHILE BACK.
WE DID A TOUR, AND WE SAW THE ROOMS WHERE THEY DO THE FORENSIC, UM, INTERVIEWS.
AND IT WAS VERY, UH, MAYBE IT, IT SEEMED A VERY, LIKE A VERY, UH, SAFE PLACE FOR THEM TO BE.
AND, UH, IT JUST, BEING IN THAT SPACE WAS VERY CALMING.
SO, ESPECIALLY WHEN A VICTIM HAS GONE THROUGH SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE, I, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THEY DO AS WELL.
AND THEY SHOWED ME WHERE THE OFFICERS HAVE THEIR SPACES THERE, AND, UM, THEY'RE PART OF THE PROGRAM.
IT'S NOT, THEY DON'T COME IN AND, AND THEN LEAVE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE PART OF THE ENTIRE, THE, THE HOLISTIC, UM, PROCESS FOR THE CHILD.
SO IT'S, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE
[00:10:01]
THAT AS WELL.I'D LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE TRAUMA INFORMED, UM, INTERVIEW TRAINING, THOUGH.
IS, IS IT, UM, HOW MUCH TRAINING DID THE DETECTIVES RECEIVE? IS IT, UM, IS IT PART OF ALL OF THE DETECTIVES TRAINING, OR IS IT SPECIFIC TO SV? UH, THERE, THERE, THERE'S TRAINING THAT'S SPECIFIC TO THIS SECTION.
TO THE, UH, SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT.
AND WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT TRAINING? OR HOW LONG IS IT, RENEE, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT THAT? YEAH, IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN OUR TRAINING.
WE NEED YOU ON THE, UH, CAMERA AND THE, UH, UM, IT'S INCLUDED IN OUR SAFETY TRAINING.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE SIC TRAINING, IT'S THE STATE MANDATED TRAINING.
WE HAVE LIEUTENANT GRAYSON, AN S SP LIEUTENANT, WHO'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE STATE INSTRUCTORS.
UH, THERE'S ONLY A FEW OF 'EM THROUGHOUT THE STATE, BUT LUCKILY WE HAVE ONE DEALS WITH FAMILY VIOLENCE AND, AND, UH, SEXUAL ASSAULT AND, AND DEALING WITH TRAUMA.
WE, WE UNDERSTAND OVER HERE THAT OVER THE LAST 10 TO 15 YEARS, THAT TRAUMA WILL AFFECT THE WAY YOU RECOLLECT.
AND SO WHEN WE'RE DOING INTERVIEW TRAINING WITH OUR ONBOARDING WITH OUR NEW DETECTIVES, UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE YOU DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE OR IN PIECES, THAT'S PART OF THE TRAUMA.
THAT'S THE TRAUMA INFORMED INTERVIEWING THAT WE TRY TO TEACH OUR DETECTIVES BACK IN THE DAY, I WAS A DETECTIVE 20 YEARS AGO, AND WE JUST ASSUMED PEOPLE WEREN'T, MAYBE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH, BUT WE'VE KIND OF EVOLVED.
WE UNDERSTOOD TRAUMA INFORMED AND HOW TRAUMA EFFECTS MEMORY RECALL.
SO THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF DETECTIVES TO UNDERSTAND.
DID YOU, WERE YOU SAYING IC TRAINING? WHAT DO YOU I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE SAFE TRAINING IS A SPECIAL, SAFE TRAINING OF FAMILY VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT.
AND, AND IN FACT, WE JUST HAD A CLASS PROBABLY HERE IN THE LAST 30 DAYS WHERE WE WERE ONBOARDING NEW DETECTIVES, BUT WE ALSO SET A GROUP FOR METRO HEALTH ON THE ADVOCACY SIDE.
AND AT THE ACADEMY WHERE THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE SAME TRAINING WE RECEIVE, THEY KIND OF RECEIVE TOO.
I, I'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT OFFLINE, BUT, UM, I APPRECIATE THAT.
AND, UM, AS, AS, UH, YOU MENTIONED, UH, I'M GONNA SWITCH OVER TO TRAFFIC.
YOU MENTIONED PRESENTATIONS THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT Y'ALL DO IN THE COMMUNITY.
WHAT, UM, WHAT KIND OF PRESENTATIONS ARE THOSE? WHAT, WHAT, WHAT OTHER OUTREACH DO YOU HAVE FOR TRAFFIC? UH, WELL, THE, THE, UH, THERE'S EVENTS THAT, THAT ARE ACTUALLY, UH, DESIGNED OR DESIGNATED FOR NOTHING, BUT, UH, TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT, TRAFFIC SAFETY.
MIKE, DO YOU WANNA COME UP AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT STUFF? YES, YES.
AND TWO, UM, AS, AS PART OF THE STEP GRANT WHERE WE DO THAT, COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS, COMMUNITY TRAINING, MATTER OF FACT, UH, ONE OF 'EM TOOK PLACE, UH, THIS PAST, UH, SATURDAY THE 24TH AT OUR EVENT, DOWN AT THE U S C, UM, AT THE COMMUNITY AWARENESS.
SO WHAT THEY'LL DO IS THEY'LL SET UP BOOTH, TYPICALLY AT LARGE COMMUNITY, PRESENT, UH, PRESENTATIONS ON BASE HIGH SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS.
UM, THERE WERE MORE HIGH SCHOOLS STUDENTS REALLY TARGET TOWARDS THE DRIVING.
UH, THEY SET UP A FIESTA AND THEY'LL JUST TRY TO, THEY TRY TO INTERACT, ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY, TEACH THEM ABOUT, UH, DRIVING SAFETY AWARENESS.
UH, IT'S, A LOT OF IT IS FOCUSED ON, UH, DRUNK DRIVING AWARENESS, UH, DRUNK DRIVING, UH, THE NON DRUNK DRIVING.
UH, THEY'LL, THEY'LL, UH, PUT THEM IN, UM, WE CALL 'EM BEER GOGGLES SO THAT THERE'S THESE GOGGLES THAT DISTORT YOUR VISION AND, AND MESS WITH YOUR PERCEPTION IN A WAY THAT BEING DRUNK WOULD.
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THEM PERFORM SIMPLE TASKS SO THAT WHILE THEY'RE SOBER, THEY CAN SEE THE EFFECT THAT THAT HAS.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S A BIG PART OF WHAT THAT, UH, THAT TRAINING'S ALL ABOUT.
AND THOSE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT.
I THINK THAT'S, I'M, I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU DO THAT.
I THINK, UM, UH, PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT EVEN ONE DRINK, YOU KNOW, CAN IMPAIR YOU.
SO I WONDER, DO THOSE BEER GOLFS SHOW KIND OF ONE DRINK, TWO DRINKS, FIVE DRINKS? I DON'T HAVE THAT LEVEL.
IT, IT WOULD BE NEAT IF WE COULD SHOW PEOPLE AFTER ONE OR TWO DRINKS HOW THAT IMPAIRS YOUR, WE, WE USED TO HAVE A, A DRIVING SIMULATOR THAT WOULD DO THAT.
BUT WE FOUND THAT THIS, UH, THE TECHNOLOGY GOT OUTDATED VERY QUICKLY.
UH, I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE STATE, BUT IT SAYS BUZZ DRIVING IS DRUNK DRIVING.
UM, THAT, THAT, THAT'S PART OF THE SAME OKAY.
THE SAME CAMPAIGN THAT, THAT, THAT, UH, THE STEF FUNDS COME THROUGH.
UH, THAT, THAT, AND THAT, UH, DRIVE SAFE AWARENESS.
WE WORK WITH TEXT OUT ON ALL THAT MESSAGING.
AND IT'S, IT'S ALL THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
I APPRECIATE YOUR, YOUR, UM, THE INFORMATION.
UH, ANY OTHER COUNCILMAN SANDOVAL? THANK YOU, UH, CHIEF, UM, FOR THE PRESENTATION DURING THE BUDGET SESSIONS, I HAD ASKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT.
AND, UH, SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO SEE.
UH, SO NOW I'LL HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS ON, ON THAT.
UH, FIRST OF ALL, IS THIS THE ONLY FUNDING THAT WE HAVE FOR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW? WELL, THE STEP GRANT, UH, WHAT DO YOU HAVE SUCH STEP,
[00:15:01]
MIKE? SO THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT GRANTS THAT'LL BE TARGETED.SO THIS IS CALLED A COMPREHENSIVE, OR DAC GRANTS AND DATA DRIVEN, UH, THAT'S THE DB DATA DRIVEN.
THAT'S WHY WE GET THAT DATA FROM THE STATE WHERE TO TARGET, WE GET THAT DATA FROM THE STATE WHERE TO TARGET.
IN ADDITION TO THIS, SOME OF THE OTHER TECHSTAR GRANTS THAT WE USE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, A CLICKER TICKET, WE HAVE THE IMPAIRED DRIVING MOBILIZATION.
THIS ONE IS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT D W I, BUT IT'S NOT AS LARGE OF A GRANT.
SO WE USE IT, IT'S FOCUSED TIMES OF THE YEAR WHEN D W I, UM, TENDS TO SPIKE SUCH AS HOLIDAYS, UM, BOTH, BOTH THE SUMMER AND WINTER HOLIDAYS.
UM, COULD, SORRY, COULD I, COULD I GET A SENSE OF BASICALLY TOTAL DOLLARS THAT, THAT WE HAVE FOR THAT? BECAUSE THE, THE SLIDE HERE IS JUST FOR THE STEP MONEY, RIGHT? JUST, I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO THAT RECENTLY.
UM, WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M WONDERING IS, UH, I, I SAW THE SWITCH IN CITATIONS AND CITATION WARNINGS THAT, THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED UNDER SPEEDING AND THE MOVING VIOLATIONS NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP A LOT IN, UM, BETWEEN 2018 AND 2021, BUT THE THREE IN THE MIDDLE DISTRACTED DRIVING SEATBELT AND CHILD RESTRAINT, LIKE THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOW.
THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, COMING FROM THE THOUSANDS TO THE HUNDREDS OR EVEN DOUBLE DIGITS IN IN SOME CASES.
SO, UM, I GUESS I'D LIKE TO KNOW, ARE THOSE BEING COVERED THAT, ARE THOSE TYPES OF OFFENSES BEING COVERED WITH OTHER FUNDING? OR MAYBE THEY'RE BEING REPORTED AS MOVING VIOLATIONS NOW? I, I'D HATE TO THINK WE'RE NO LONGER, YOU KNOW, LOOKING FOR DESTRUCTIVE DRIVERS.
NOW, SO THE, THE WAY THE, UH, SO WE, WE'VE GOT A, UM, A DATABASE THAT THE OFFICERS WORKING ALL OF THESE GRANTS UTILIZED.
UM, AND IT BREAKS IT DOWN INTO THOSE CATEGORIES.
'CAUSE THOSE ARE THE CATEGORIES WE REPORT BACK UP.
SO THE CATEGORIES HAVEN'T CHANGED AND THE ENFORCEMENT HASN'T CHANGED.
UM, WE HOPE THAT SOME OF OUR MESSAGING AND, UH, THAT OUTREACH AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE WRITING CITATIONS HAS CHANGED PUBLIC BEHAVIOR, THEREFORE REDUCING THE NEED TO WRITE CHILD SAFETY SEAT VIOLATIONS OR SEATBELT VIOLATIONS.
'CAUSE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY COMPLYING WITH THE LAW.
THAT CHANGE, YOU SEE IN, IN GOING FROM A LOT OF TICKETS TO A LOT OF WARNINGS, A LOT OF THAT HAPPENED.
UM, WITH, UH, THE, THE GOAL IS CONTACT HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS WE'VE STOPPED AND TRIED TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR.
SO THE STATE LOOKS AT US AND USES A BAR OF 2.5 CONTACTS PER HOUR.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN YOU SEE THIS REPLACES ABOUT 12 TRAFFIC OFFICERS.
I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY AT MORE EXPONENTIAL TO THAT BECAUSE IT, A TRAFFIC OFFICERS GONNA DIVIDE THEIR DAY UP WITH MANY ACTIVITIES, TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT BEING OUT ON I 10 RIGHT NOW, DIVERTING TRAFFIC AROUND THE GAS MAIN PLEASE.
SO, YOU KNOW, SO THAT, SO THESE ARE CONCENTRATED ON GETTING 2.5 STOPS PER HOUR AND, AND THAT IS ALL THEY'RE FOCUSED ON DURING THAT TIME.
UM, IN TERMS OF DISTRACTED DRIVING MM-HMM.
WAS THAT IN 2019 OR THAT BEFORE? I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THIS TOO, BECAUSE I, YOU KNOW, BASED ON MY UNSCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS RIGHT WHEN I DRIVE, UM, I, I WOULD FIND IT SHOCKING THAT IT'S DROPPED THAT MUCH.
I WOULD SAY IT'S EVEN INCREASED WHEN I SEE, UH, PEOPLE DOING THIS, YOU KNOW, USING THEIR, THEIR CELL PHONES OR, UM, AND LIKE I SAID, WELL, THE GRANT HAS SPREAD, SO, SO IT'S ALWAYS TRADITIONALLY THOSE, THOSE 20 18 19 NUMBERS OR, OR PRIOR, YOU'RE LOOKING AT, IT WAS OUT OF THE TRAFFIC OFFICE AND THE TRAFFIC RAN ALL OF THE GRANTS.
THE GRANT IS NOW SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
IT'S UTILIZED AT THE WEST SUBSTATION, THE PRO SUBSTATION NORTH EAST AND THE STREET CRIMES UNIT.
SO THAT COULD BE JUST THE DIFFERENT OFFICERS THAT ARE WORKING IT NOW.
AND IT'S NOT ALL DIRECTLY IN TRAFFIC'S HOUSE, ALTHOUGH IT COMES BACK THROUGH US ON THE REPORTING COUNCILWOMAN.
I THINK TO ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION, IF WE CAN FOLLOW UP, THIS CHART FOCUSES ON THE STEP GRANT, SO WE'LL GET YOU THE ENTIRE METRICS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO THAT WAY WE, YOU CAN HAVE A BETTER PICTURE OF EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING AT THE DEPARTMENT.
SO WE'LL GET THAT AS A FOLLOW.
[00:20:14]
CARRIE.UH, CHIEF BACK ON THE, UH, STATISTICS ON VICTIMS UNITS, UM, SEE A LOT OF NUMBERS THERE.
17 THROUGH 22, UH, AND YOU SAID THAT THEY INVESTIGATE OVER NINE POUNDS AND, UH, WHICH APPROXIMATELY 2,900 INVOLVED CHILDREN, BUT THEN THERE'S A STEP DOWN.
IS THAT PER YEAR IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING UP THERE? YEAH.
SO FROM 9,000 DOWN TO 2,900, DOWN TO LIKE IN 20 2303.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT WE INVESTIGATED 9,000 OF 'EM, BUT WE'RE ONLY, UM, UH, ARRESTED 303? UH, NO COUNCILMAN, I, IF I CAN JUST SAY REAL QUICKLY, UM, SO THE SPECIAL VICTIM UNIT INVESTIGATES 9,000 IN TOTAL.
THERE'S TWO DETECTIVES THAT ARE FUNDED THROUGH THIS GRANT.
THE WORKLOAD OF THOSE DETECTIVES IS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART BELOW THE 300, 378.
OUT OF, OKAY, OUT OF THESE DETECTIVES IN 303, IN 2020, HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE ACTUALLY PROSECUTED? WE, WE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET YOU THAT INFORMATION.
UH, I'D LIKE TO KNOW BY YEAR HOW MANY OF THOSE CASES WITH THESE TWO DETECTIVES FUNDED WITH THIS GRANT, HOW MANY OF THOSE CASES THAT YOU HAVE LISTED THERE WERE ACTUALLY PROSECUTED AND CONVICTED.
SO IF YOU COULD GIVE ME THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
UM, ON, UH, SLIDE 12 OF THE STEP PROGRAM, I, I TOO AM CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT THESE NUMBERS REPRESENT AND IF IT IS, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS GOING ACROSS THE BOARD, UH, 2018 IS FAR IN EXCESS, WHAT THE FOLLOWING YEARS ARE IN ALL THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES EXCEPT FOR THE SPEEDING ONE UP AT THE TOP.
AND I, I TOO AM CONCERNED, WHAT, WHAT DOES THIS TELL US? THAT I, I STILL HAVE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS IN MY NEIGHBORHOODS AND, AND ACROSS THE DISTRICT IN EACH ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES.
AND I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING TO ME, THESE NUMBERS ARE SUSPECT WITH, I, I'VE GOT A CONCERN WITH SEEING THESE DROPS IN THE NUMBERS GOING ACROSS A YEAR.
ARE WE REALLY SAYING, OR WE REALLY TOUTING THAT THESE PROGRAMS ARE WORKING AND THEREFORE WE HAVE FEWER, UH, CITATIONS, WHETHER THEY'RE A TICKET OR A WARNING.
UM, I, I'M, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
SO I'D LIKE SOME MORE DETAIL AND MORE INFORMATION COMING.
WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS REALLY REPRESENT AND HOW DOES THAT COMPARE, LIKE YOU SAID, MARIA, ACROSS THE, ACROSS THE DEPARTMENT, AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST, THESE NUMBERS LOOK FUNNY TO ME.
I'M, I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE IT AT THAT CHEAP.
SO IF Y'ALL CAN GET BACK WITH ME, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
UH, OTHER THAN THAT, I, I DON'T HAVE ANY, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
I'D LIKE TO, TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE BOTH OF THESE GRANTS TO FULL CITY COUNCIL NEXT AVAILABLE TIME.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, UH, WE'LL GO OVER TO COUNCIL
UH, SO MY FIRST QUESTIONS WILL BE ABOUT THE DRAG JAG GRANT DETECTIVES, UH, LIKE COUNCILMAN PERRY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, UM, THE COUNTY RESULTS FROM THE COUNTY.
I MEAN, WE SEE THAT, UH, THE DETECTIVES, THE GRANT AND FUNDED DETECTIVES ARE, ARE HANDLING LESS, BUT I KNOW THAT THAT CAN MEAN THAT, THAT MAYBE THEY'RE BEING CAUGHT BY OTHER DETECTIVES.
BUT I DO WANNA SEE WITH THE FUNDS THAT THE, THE 60% OF THE FUNDS THAT THE COUNTY IS GETTING, HOW, HOW MANY ARE BEING PROSECUTED, HOW MANY ARE BEING, UM, GETTING, UH, HOW MANY OF THE CHILDREN ARE GETTING PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND THESE PEOPLE STAYING AWAY.
UM, AND DO WE KNOW THE TIMELINE THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO, TO DO, TO TAKE UP THIS VOTE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR US TO APPROVE? AND THEN THEY'LL, MARIA, DO YOU KNOW COUNCIL COUNCILMAN? I DON'T KNOW IF
[00:25:01]
THEY TAKE A VOTE THROUGH COMMISSIONER'S COURT, BUT THEY ARE WAITING FOR US TO HAVE OUR COUNCIL APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE, WITH THE GRANT.THEY ARE THE FISCAL AGENT OF THE GRANT, SO THEY NEED THE, THE APPROVAL FROM THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
BUT WE'LL GET YOU THE DATE IF THERE'S, UM, SAY THAT THE COMMISSIONER'S SCORE WILL TAKE THIS UP.
AND, UH, AND SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES MAY KNOW I'VE ALREADY HAD TWO TOWN HALLS AND THE CHIEF HAS GONE AND HAD A TOWN HALL IN, UH, IN, IN DISTRICT THREE FOR, FOR, UH, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WHERE THIS GRANT IS CONCERNED WITH THAT WE GET THAT RESULT FROM THE COUNTY AS WE MOVE ON TO THE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT.
UM, ON SLIDE 12, IT MENTIONS THAT THIS PROVIDES OVERTIME FUNDING FOR, UH, OVER 14,000 ENFORCEMENT HOURS.
UM, IS, IS THAT, IS THAT THE OUTREACH OR IS THAT ACTUAL MONITORING OF WHAT TXDOT GIVES US AS THE HOTSPOTS? THAT WOULD BE THE ENFORCEMENT HOURS, MA'AM.
SO THE ACTUAL, UH, ON HIGHWAY AND ON, UH, ROADWAY HOURS.
AND, AND SO IS THIS OUTSIDE OF TRAFFIC'S NORMAL WORK HOURS? YES.
THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL WORK HOURS OF THE TRAFFIC, UH, SECTION BECAUSE TRAFFIC DOESN'T, THEY DON'T NORMALLY WORK THAT, THAT T SHIFT.
OR I MEAN THAT, UH, DOG WATCH SHIFT, DO THEY, ON THE DOG WATCH SHIFT? WE JUST HAVE THE D W I OKAY.
AND THEN, UH, DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS, WE HAVE THE, THE MOTOR AND THE HIGHWAY UNIT, AND THEN THE STEP GRANT WILL MOVE AROUND.
SOMETIMES THEY HAVE ROLL CALL TIMES OF FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.
SOMETIMES THEY HAVE ROLL CALL IT, IT IS FIVE IN THE EVENING TO GO LATER.
SO WE MOVE THEM AROUND CONSTANTLY TO TRY TO HAVE THE MOST IMPACT, UH, AND CHANGE OUR, CHANGE OUR LOCATIONS AND CHANGE WHERE WE'RE WORKING IN.
AND, UM, AND CHIEF AND, AND THE TEAM THAT'S THERE, UH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WITH THE STREET RACING AND THE, UM, THE, THE INDIVIDUALS, YOU KNOW, TAKING OVER PARKING LOTS, THAT'S, I KNOW THAT MOVES AROUND CITYWIDE, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE SEEING IT AGAIN IN DISTRICT THREE AND TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.
SO I THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE HELPFUL.
UM, THOSE ARE ALL THE, UH, QUESTIONS I HAVE REGARDING THIS.
COUNCIL, MAYBE WE HAVE A MOTION AND, UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR.
MAYBE THE IMPACT, UH, REVIEW THAT, UH, PEOPLE WOULD LOOK TOWARDS THESE TO USE, UH, EMERGENCY CHARGING STATIONS OR FOR FOOD STORAGE OR EMERGENCY WATER, AND SOMETIMES EVEN SHELTER.
AND THEN LOOK AT IT FROM A RECOVERY STANDPOINT.
SO IF WE WANTED TO BRING IN INSURANCE COMPANIES TO HELP THEM FILE FOR, UH, DISASTER RECOVERY EFFORTS THROUGH FEMA OR WHATEVER IT IS, UH, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THESE LOCATIONS FOR THAT.
SO IT WOULD BE A PLACE, PLACE OF GATHERING FOR THE COMMUNITY.
UM, BUT 99% OF THE TIME IT'S GONNA BE THAT EVERYDAY USE.
AND SO WE REALLY WANT TO BOOST THESE UP.
UM, THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS A LITTLE BIT OF A PICTURE.
AND, AND I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE OF SOME IDEAS OF WHAT THESE COMMUNITY HUBS CAN, OR THESE RESILIENCY HUBS CAN, UH, RESEMBLE, UH, STORMWATER,
[00:30:01]
UH, COLLECTION, UH, CHARGING STATIONS, COMMUNITY GARDENS, REALLY GETTING INTO THE COMMUNITY AND FINDING OUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS AND WHAT THEY WOULD USE IN THESE ZI HUBS DURING THAT 99% OF THE DAYTIME OPERATIONS.SO WE CAME TO YOU WITH FOUR RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS.
WE CAME DOWN TO THESE LOCATIONS BY PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO A MATRIX, A RISK ASSESSMENT MATRIX.
AND, AND WE IDENTIFIED THESE FOUR LOCATIONS, THE SOUTH SIDE LIONS, THE NORMAL OIL SENIOR CENTER, THE NORTHEAST SENIOR CENTER, AND GARZA COMMUNITY CENTER.
AND THESE WERE THE SAME LOCATIONS THAT WE HAD BROUGHT FORWARD BEFORE, BUT WE REALLY WANTED TO GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND BRING IT BACK TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE FOUND ABOUT THESE RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS.
SO IN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I REALLY WANT TO RECOGNIZE, UH, OUR E O C STAFF WHO WENT OUT AND, AND WORK WITH EVERYONE'S OFFICES AND ALL THE COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
AND THEY WERE ABLE TO ATTEND, UH, MEETINGS OR, OR DO PRESENTATIONS IN ALL BUT ONE COUNCIL DISTRICT AND COUNCIL DISTRICT NINE.
AND THAT WAS NOT FOR A FAILURE OF TRYING, WE JUST HAD A LOT OF CANCELLATIONS THAT CAME ABOUT WITH THAT.
UH, BUT EVERY COUNCIL OFFICE RECEIVED THE INFORMATION ON THE SURVEY, AND ACTUALLY WE WENT OUT TO 42 DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GATHERINGS, UM, IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THAT.
THEY DID A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK ON THAT AND WORKING WITH YOUR OFFICES, BUT WE WERE REALLY FOCUSED ON LOOKING FOR TWO THINGS.
NUMBER ONE, UM, WOULD THEY, WOULD THE PEOPLE USE A COMMUNITY HUB OR A RESILIENCY HUB IF WE STOOD IT UP? AND THEN WE WANTED INPUT ON THE PROPOSED LOCATIONS.
AND SO I KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION LAST TIME, UH, I WAS HERE PRESENTING THIS.
UM, SO WE WANTED TO GO OUT AND SEE WHAT THE, THE COMMUNITY THOUGHT.
SO IN THE SURVEY RESULTS, SO THERE WAS AN ONLINE SURVEY.
WE HAD 71% OF THE PEOPLE THAT TOOK THE SURVEY AGREE WITH THE FOUR, UH, COMMUNITY CENTERS THAT WE IDENTIFIED AS RESILIENCY HUBS.
BUT WE ALSO HAD A, A 26, OR I'M SORRY, 29% THAT DISAGREED, THAT OFFERED OTHER SUGGESTIONS.
AND SO YOU SEE THE TOP FOUR SUGGESTIONS THERE, THE ALMA DOME, THE CONVENTION CENTER.
WE TRY TO REALLY RESERVE THOSE FOR LARGE DISASTERS IF WE WOULD REALLY NEED TO HOUSE PEOPLE FROM THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED IN OUR COMMUNITY.
UM, THE WALKER RANCH SENIOR CENTER WAS PUT IN, IT'S A, IT'S A VERY, UH, NEW LOCATION.
AND THEN ELLA AUSTIN COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH IS ON THE EAST SIDE ON IN, UH, DISTRICT TWO, WHICH WE DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH ELLA AUSTIN.
THEY DID RECEIVE SOME BOND FUNDING.
IT IS A, IT'S A VERY OLD BUILDING, BUT WE ARE CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM RIGHT NOW THAT MAYBE THEY COULD BECOME A FUTURE RESILIENCY HUB AND LEVERAGE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS TO MAKE THEM A MORE HARDENED LOCATION.
THE MAJORITY WERE GOOD WITH THE LOCATIONS WE HAD, JUST TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A CROSS SECTION OF, UH, ALL THE DEMOGRAPHICS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY.
WE HAD A VERY GOOD RESULT ACROSS ALL DISTRICTS.
WE HAD A VERY GOOD RESULT ACROSS ALL AGE GROUPS.
SO WE REALLY FEEL LIKE WE CAPTURED A GOOD CROSS SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS.
WE ALSO ASKED THEM THEIR TOP FIVE REASONS THAT THEY WOULD USE A RESILIENCY HUB.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE REASONS HERE.
MOST OF IT IS, UH, FOR SHELTERING OR, OR DISASTER RELIEF TYPE EFFORTS.
AND THEN, UH, WHAT THEY WOULD NOT USE THE RESILIENCY.
SO THEY WOULD BE AFRAID OF OVERCROWDING.
UM, THEY HAVE FAMILY OR FRIENDS CLOSE BY.
SO WHY YOU WOULD USE IT AND WHY YOU WOULDN'T USE IT.
AND THERE WERE VERY INTERESTING, UH, COMMENTS IN THERE.
SO OUR NEXT STEP FOR THIS ITEM IS, UH, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY.
WE WILL SEE AN OUT, UH, ITEM ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA ON THURSDAY TO, UH, APPROVE THE GENERATORS THAT ARE TO BE INSTALLED TO HARDEN THESE, UH, REZI HUBS.
UH, WE WILL, UH, JUST BECAUSE THE DELIVERY EFFORTS OF THE, UH, GENERATORS THEMSELVES, WE WILL BE LOOKING AT A RENTAL TYPE, UH, SITUATION SO WE CAN BE READY FOR THIS DISASTER SEASON, UH, COMING UP IN THE WINTER.
UM, WE WILL START THE PROCESS ACTUALLY, ONCE WE GET APPROVAL ON THE FOUR LOCATIONS, TO REALLY START THE PLANNING AND THE PROCESS OF TRAINING THE STAFF THERE AND, AND IDENTIFYING, UH, WHAT WE REALLY NEED AT THAT COMMUNITY AND THAT COMMUNITY CENTER, UH, AFTER THAT.
AND THEN IN DECEMBER, OUR PLAN IS TO BE READY FOR, UH, THE WINTER SEASON.
SO TODAY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FOUR LOCATIONS AT THE RESILIENCY HUBS.
SO THE NEXT PIECE THAT I HAVE FOR YOU TODAY IS THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN UPDATE.
SO THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
IT ALSO WORKS THROUGH MITIGATION AND PREVENTION EFFORTS THAT, UH, THAT GOES TOWARDS MITIGATING THOSE HAZARDS.
THIS IS, UM, REQUIRED BY FEMA SO WE CAN START TO RECEIVE FUNDING FOR MITIGATION EFFORTS.
A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON OUR PLAN.
IT WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED IN OCTOBER OF 2121 BY CITY COUNCIL, BUT AT THAT TIME, THE COUNCIL WENT AHEAD AND REQUESTED SOME AMENDMENTS BE MADE TO THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN TO INCLUDE THE, UH, WINTER WEATHER HAZARD PROFILE,
[00:35:01]
A REVIEW OF THE RISK, UH, RANKING AND HOW WE ASSESS THOSE RISKS, UH, THE INTEGRATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND HOW IT AFFECTS THOSE HAZARD PROFILES.UH, WE WANTED TO SEE SOME COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, AND THEN SOME OVERALL REFORMATTING OF THE PLAN TO MAKE IT EASIER TO READ AND EASIER TO, UH, UNDERSTAND AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
SO ONE BIG ITEM HERE WAS THE WINTER WEATHER HAZARD PROFILE, OBVIOUSLY WITH WINTER STORM URI.
AND OUR RESPONSE TO THAT AND ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE COME BACK SINCE WINTER STORM URI.
WE GOT A PANEL TOGETHER OF DIFFERENT, UH, STAKEHOLDERS THAT, UH, WERE THERE AND ACTUALLY TOOK PART IN THE RESPONSE TO WINTER STORM URI AND GOT THAT INFORMATION AND, AND COMPILED IT, UM, ALONG WITH OUR, UM, THE PEOPLE WE USED IN ORDER TO DO THESE AMENDMENTS, UH, TO REALLY UPDATE THAT HAZARD PROFILE RANKING AND USING WINTER STORM URI IN THAT RANKING.
SO IN IDENTIFYING AND RETHINKING OUR HAZARD RISK RANKING, THAT'S A, THAT'S A LONG SENTENCE TO SAY.
SO WE HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AT THE HAZARD PROBABILITY, AND WE ALWAYS LOOKED AT COMMUNITY CONCERN.
WE ENDED UP ADDING THREE DIFFERENT, UM, TITLES IN THERE TO LOOK AT SEVERITY.
SO, UH, OVERALL GENERALIZED SEVERITY AS FAR AS HOW IT AFFECTS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AN ACUTE SEVERITY ON HOW IT AFFECTS VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, AND THEN ALSO ADDING THAT CLIMATE CHANGE COMPONENT IN THERE.
WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT EACH OF THESE RISKS, AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE FINAL HAZARD RANKING CAME OUT, THE HIGHEST RISKS FOR US ARE DROUGHT, EXTREME HEAT, FLOODING, WILDFIRE, AND WINTER STORM.
AND THEN WE GO DOWN TO A MEDIUM RISK AND A LOW RISK ASSESSMENT.
BUT EACH ONE OF THEM ARE BROKEN DOWN INSIDE OF THE PLAN.
SO CLIMATE CHANGE, INTER INTEGRATION, UH, HAGGERTY CONSULTING GROUP ALSO GOT WITH THE OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND SOME CLIMATE CHANGE EXPERTS AT U T S A TO REALLY, UH, BRING FORTH IN THIS PLAN HOW CLIMATE CHANGE WOULD AFFECT THE DIFFERENT HAZARDS AND THE RISK ASSESSMENT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THOSE HAZARDS.
AND ALSO COME UP WITH SOME MITIGATION EFFORTS AND SOME PREVENTION EFFORTS ALONG IN THOSE HAZARDS TO INCORPORATE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THERE.
SO NEXT STEP, IF WE ARE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD FROM HERE, WE WOULD, UH, SEND THIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR, UH, APPROVAL.
NEXT, IT WOULD GO TO FEMA AND THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR THEIR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
AND THEN WE WOULD START THE PLAN MAINTENANCE PROCESS, WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR THE THREE YEAR REVIEW TO START, UH, IN 2024.
AND THEN WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR, UH, REVISION THAT GOES, UH, AFTER THAT.
AND THEN, UH, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO, UH, FORWARD THIS TO FULL COUNSEL FOR APPROVAL.
I'LL BE OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
THE, UH, PRESENTATION, I'M LOOKING FOR THE SLIDE WITH THE, UH, MAP, BUT, UM, I DO HAVE A CONCERN THAT THERE'S NOT A PROPOSED RESILIENCY HUB MORE, UH, WEST OR SOUTHWEST.
UM, IF YOU PULL UP, I THINK IT FOUR.
UM, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT KIND OF SOUTHWEST AREA, THE, THE, THE GREEN AND, AND PINK, I GUESS IT'S FOUR AND SIX, UM, IT DOESN'T SEEM AS, UM, PROPORTIONATE AND, AND THAT MY CONCERN FOR THAT AREA IS, IS EDGEWOOD AND THEN ALSO LIKE THE VIRGINIA GILL AREA.
THERE'S ALSO COMMUNITIES, THESE ARE ALSO COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE TRANSPORTATION ISSUES.
DO WE HAVE, UM, AN AGREEMENT WITH VIA FOR TRANSPORTATION TO THESE RESILIENCY HUBS? YES, MA'AM.
AND THAT IS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WE ALWAYS LOOK AT IS TRANSPORTATION BACK AND FORTH.
AND THAT WAS ON THE, UH, SURVEY THAT WAS SENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO TRY TO ASSESS THOSE NEEDS WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THESE.
AND JUST A REMINDER ON HOW THESE WERE, HOW WE CAME UP WITH THESE AS WE PUT 'EM ALL INTO A RISK ASSESSMENT, UH, BASED ON WHAT, UM, OPPORTUNITIES THEY ALREADY HAD AT THE RESILIENCY HUB AND TRIED TO SPACE 'EM OUT AS WELL AROUND THE CITY WITH ONES THAT CAME OUT WITH THE HIGHEST RANKING.
AND SO THIS ISN'T THE END OF THE PROJECT.
THIS IS A, A HUMBLE BEGINNING, I THINK.
UM, BUT IT, UH, I THINK WE'RE REALLY ONTO AN IDEA THAT CAN HELP OUR COMMUNITIES, BUT WE, WE HAVE TO, UH, SPACE 'EM OUT THAT'S BEST THAT WE CAN AGREED.
UH, I THINK IT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK BACK AND IF WE, IF ONLY WE HAD THESE, UH, BACK AT OUR WINTER STORM AND EVEN EVEN THIS LAST SUMMER WITH THE, THE HEAT.
UM, SO IT IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO GET THIS STUFF IN, IN PROGRAM ENGAGED FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
UH, I DID NOTICE THOUGH, IN THE SURVEYS, IT IT IS THAT I THINK IT WAS FOUR, FIVE AND SIX HAD THE LOWEST PARTICIPATION.
AND UM, SURE ENOUGH, THEY DON'T HAVE, UH,
SO THAT'S WHY PARTICIPATION MATTERS A COMMUNITY.
BUT, UH, THE, I GUESS, SO YOU, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I MEAN, AT THE BEGINNING MY NEXT QUESTION WAS GONNA BE WHY ONLY FOUR? DO WE ONLY BUDGET FOR FOUR? BUT IS IT JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM? SO COUNCIL A LOT OF THE MILLION DOLLARS TO WORK TOWARDS THIS PROJECT.
[00:40:01]
ONE OF THE BIGGEST NEEDS AT EACH ONE OF THESE CENTERS WAS A GENERATOR, OBVIOUSLY.SO WE COULD HAVE POWER OUT 'EM.
SO WITH THE FOUR, WE'VE ABLE TO, UH, EXPAND THE ALLOTMENT THAT WE HAVE.
AND THAT'S NOT SAYING THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA COME BACK AND, AND ASK YOU FOR MORE AT A LATER DATE OR TRY TO, UH, WORK WITH NON-PROFITS OR CHURCHES.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF INTEREST IN THIS PROGRAM.
UH, BUT THIS IS A GOOD WAY THAT WE CAN AT LEAST START AND THEN BUILD OFF OF WHAT WE LEARN AS WE GO.
SO THAT'S WHAT A MILLION DOLLARS BUYS YOU? YES, MA'AM.
I MEAN, THAT'S, IT'S BETTER THAN, UM, I, I, I WOULD, OF COURSE, I I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE 10 ALL OVER THE CITY, BUT I, I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD START.
UM, ON THE HAVING MITIGATION PLAN, DID OUR UTILITY COMPANIES GET INVOLVED IN, UM, IN ASSESSING THE RISK? YES, MA'AM.
WE HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE.
I BELIEVE WE HAD OVER 70, 70 PARTICIPANTS, UH, IN LOOKING AT, UH, CLASSIFYING THE RISKS AND IDENTIFYING THE RISKS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND THE LAST THING, I'M JUST MORE CURIOUS, I AM SORRY I DON'T REMEMBER THE SLIDE, BUT IT WAS THE, THE RISK ASSESSMENT.
I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE WE HAVE A WILDFIRE AS A HIGH RISK.
UM, BUT MAYBE YOU GUYS JUST DO SUCH A GOOD JOB OF MITIGATING THAT HAZARD THAT I DON'T HEAR A LOT ABOUT IT.
WE, UH, SO YES, AND, AND ACTUALLY TOWARDS THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CITY, WE REALLY HAVE THE DEFINITE WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE THAT HAPPENS ALONG THE, THAT, UH, NORTH NORTHWEST, UH, CORRIDOR OF THE CITY.
UM, OUR GRASS AND WILDLAND FIRES ARE UP ACTUALLY OVER A HUNDRED PERCENT IN THE CITY THIS YEAR, JUST BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN SO DRY.
SO WILD LAND'S ALWAYS A MAJOR CONCERN.
AND THEN WHEN YOU TAKE, UH, GOVERNMENT CANYON INTO, UH, INTO ACCOUNT, IT, IT'S A MAJOR CONCERN FOR US THAT WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY, UH, PAY ATTENTION TO IN THE FUTURE GOVERNMENT CANYONS IN MY DISTRICT.
SO I, YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
UM, IT'S A BIG, BIG NATURAL AREA ALSO, I IMAGINE AROUND CAMP BULLIS, UM, LIKE THAT SORT OF DIRECTION.
ANYWAY, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF YES.
AND WE ACTUALLY HAD A BIG FIRE OUT OF CAMP THIS YEAR, UH, AND THAT, THAT GETS A LITTLE INTERESTING WHEN YOU'RE, UH, WHEN YOU'RE ROLLING THROUGH THOSE FIELDS.
SO THOSE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.
UH, COUNCIL RESPONDABLE, UH, THANK YOU.
SO THE AGENDA MEMO SAYS, UH, FORWARD THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
IT WOULD BE THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE'VE MADE TO THE, UH, HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
THE PLAN'S ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED BY COUNCIL.
IT WOULD BE THE AMENDMENTS THAT THEY ASKED TO SUPREME FORWARD.
UM, UH, BUT I DO HAVE, NOW THE PURCHASE OF THE GENERATORS IS ALREADY ON THE AGENDA FOR THURSDAY, RIGHT? YES, MA'AM.
SO YOU'RE NOT REALLY ASKING FOR, FOR ACTION ON, ON THAT.
UM, IN TERMS OF THE LOCATION FOR THE RESILIENCE HUB, UM, I GUESS WHEN DO WE APPROVE THAT? OR IS THAT AN ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION? I WOULD DEFER TO MARIA ON THAT.
I, I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE ALREADY MADE THOSE DECISIONS AND JUST LOOKING AT CITY OWNED FACILITIES THAT WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.
BUT DID, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD? UM, COUNCILMAN? SO WE PROPOSED A LOCATION BASED ON THAT RISK ASSESSMENT THAT WE, THAT WE DESCRIBED.
UM, OF COURSE THE CITY COUNCIL HAS THE ABILITY TO REQUEST THAT ADJUSTMENTS BE MADE.
WHAT WE RECOMMEND AS STAFF IS TO CONTINUE WITH THIS FOUR LOCATIONS BECAUSE OF THE PLANNING THAT IS NEEDED TO ACQUIRE THE GENERATORS AND TO GET 'EM READY FOR THIS WINTER SEASON.
UH, NOW THIS INVESTMENT, UM, ALL MAKES US MORE RESILIENT.
IF THE COUNCIL WAS TO PERHAPS ADD ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS OR CHANGE THE LOCATIONS, WE CAN ALWAYS BENEFIT FROM THIS INVESTMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING.
SO THIS WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
AND AT THE, A SESSION ON THURSDAY, IF THERE WAS A DESIRE TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LOCATION OR A COMMENT ON THE LOCATIONS THAT WE PROPOSED, CAN I MAKE A COMMENT ON THE LOCATION NOW? OF COURSE.
UM, SO I, I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR ASSESSMENT A LITTLE BETTER.
I, I THINK WHAT YOU TOLD US, IF I HEARD CORRECTLY, WAS THAT IT WAS ALSO BASED ON WHAT WAS AVAILABLE AT THE CENTER AT THE TIME.
SO, UH, THE COUNCILWOMAN POINTS OUT A POTENTIAL GAP IN IN LOCATION COVERAGE.
AND IF THAT MEANS THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOCATION THAT HAS THAT, I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US TO MAKE A PLAN TO MAKE SURE WE GET THAT THERE.
UM, WHAT I'M NOT SEEING, OR MAYBE YOU HAVE THIS AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, IT IS A LONG TERM PLAN FOR RESILIENCE HUBS.
I, I HESITATE, UM, APPROVING THESE FIRST FOUR WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHEN ALL THE ADDITIONAL STUFF IS GONNA GO IN.
THERE'S NO SOLAR PANELS ON GILBERT GARZA RIGHT NOW.
WHEN ARE THEY GONNA GO IN? AND, AND ALL OF THOSE ARE, ARE THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.
AND SO WHAT WE KNOW NOW IS IF WE WERE GONNA USE THAT IN A DISASTER, THAT WE NEED EMERGENCY POWER, WE NEED TO PUT EMERGENCY FOOD IN THOSE LOCATIONS, UM, SHELTER THE SIZE OF THE FACILITY 'CAUSE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WE COULD SHELTER THE LAYOUT OF THE SHELTER, UM, THE, UH, DO THE ROADS FLOOD GOING THERE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
WHEN, WHEN, WHEN DO WE GET THE PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE RESILIENCE? AND, AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO GET OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO FIGURE OUT IS WHAT IS NEEDED AT THAT CENTER AND WHAT
[00:45:01]
IS NEEDED IN THAT COMMUNITY, WHAT THEY, WHAT THEY WOULD IDENTIFY IS NEEDED IN THAT COMMUNITY.SO WE CAN TRY TO PROVIDE IT THERE.
AND, AND COUNCIL MEANT TO ADD TO THAT, UM, YOU MAY RECALL THAT WE HAD A DISCUSSION AT THIS SESSION ABOUT A RESILIENCY PLAN FOR THE CITY.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GONNA EMBARK ON GETTING A CONSULTANCY HELP, IS THAT WORK WILL BE HAPPENING IN 2023.
SO AT THAT POINT, THE, THE LARGER CONVERSATION ON THE RESILIENCY HUB WILL TAKE PLACE.
SO WE, ONCE WE HAVE THAT, UM, CONSULTANT ON BOARD, WE ARE COMING BACK TO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL TO GET YOUR POLICY DIRECTION ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED.
SO THAT WILL BE PACKAGED WITH THAT LARGER CONVERSATION ON RESILIENCE ON, ON, UH, A RESILIENCY PLAN FOR THE CITY.
WE JUST WANNA BE PREPARED IF WE WERE FACED WITH ANOTHER EVENT, UM, THAT WE ARE PREPARED TO PROVIDE, UH, SHELTER AND A PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GO IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE.
AND THESE ARE NATURAL GAS GENERATORS RIGHT NOW? UH, THE FOUR OF 'EM THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO PUT IN? YES.
SO WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THE NATURAL GAS? LIKE WHERE WILL THAT COME FROM AND HOW MUCH WILL BE STORED? WE'RE WORKING WITH PUBLIC, IT, IT'S GONNA BE DIRECTLY OFF THE, THE, UH, NATURAL GAS LINE THAT'S, UH, OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
AND WE'RE WORKING WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON ALL THE DRAWINGS, TOLUM THOSE APPROPRIATELY.
IS THERE A RISK TO THAT NATURAL GAS LINE IN THE RISK ASSESSMENT THAT YOU CONDUCTED? UH, THERE IS A PIPELINE ASSESSMENT THAT'S DONE, AND THOSE ARE LARGE DIAMETER GAS LINES, NOT NECESSARILY THE ONES THAT, THAT GENERATORS BE RUNNING OFF OF THE, UH, RESILIENCY HUBS.
BUT, UM, BUT THE RISK YOU BELIEVE IS LOW ENOUGH THAT THAT'S THE ONLY ALTERNATE SOURCE OF POWER THAT YES.
I'M, I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT THIS IS COMING FORWARD.
UH, I WANNA THANK, UH, THE TEAM FOR ITS EFFORTS.
UH, RESILIENCY HUBS HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE, UM, BECAUSE OF WINTER STORM URI AND WHAT HAPPENED, UH, THROUGHOUT DISTRICT THREE THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UH, WE SAW THE NEED AND THE DISTRICT THREE STAFF WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET MISSION DE LAGO, UH, RESILIENCY HUB UP WITH GENERATORS.
AND MARIA, I HAVE TO GIVE YOU A SHOUT OUT BECAUSE YOU WERE, YOU WERE CRITICAL IN MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
SO THIS IS, THIS HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR ME.
UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE NEED A POLICY THAT WHEN WE HAVE EXTRA FUNDS, WE LOOK AT RESILIENCY HUBS AND HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE CURRENT ONES, THE CURRENT LOCATIONS, AND LOOK AT, UH, NEW LOCATIONS IN DIFFERENT AREAS.
UM, I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THAT.
UH, EIGHT, UH, THE, UH, SLIDE EIGHT WITH THE SURVEY RESULTS FOR, UH, WHY THEY WOULDN'T USE RESILIENCY HUB.
I THINK SOUTH SIDE LINES IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHERE WE CAN LOOK AT CREATING PET ACCOMMODATIONS AND WORK WITH OUR, UM, OUR, OUR NONPROFITS AND OUR AGENCIES OUT THERE THAT HELP PETS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE DOG PARK RIGHT THERE.
UH, IF WE COULD HAVE MORE SPACE TO PUT, PUT THEM, UH, IN KENNELS IF NEEDED, UM, WANNA, WANNA LOOK, UM, LOOK AT THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
I ALSO THINK THAT, UM, FOR OUR SENIORS, WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THEY CAN GO.
UM, AND THAT'S, SO ARE WE PROVIDING ALL THIS INFORMATION IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH TO THE RESIDENTS? YES, MA'AM.
AND, UH, YEAH, THE, I THINK, UH, MOVING FORWARD WITH THE FOUR LOCATIONS, LOOKING TO SEE WHAT, UM, WHAT GRANTS ARE AVAILABLE TO, TO, UH, ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS.
UM, THAT HUB LOCATION IS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH.
I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT ALSO AND SEEING WHERE THAT RESPONSE CAME FOR AND IF WE CAN GET MORE, UM, MORE, UH, INFORMATION THERE.
AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION I HAVE WITH THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN IS, UM, AS WE LOOK AT MORE SEVERE WEATHER, UM, AND I KNOW YOU BROUGHT IN EXPERTS, BUT ARE WE LOOKING AT IF, IF OUR, IF LIKE TWO OF OUR, IF OUR LOW RISK AND OUR MEDIUM RISK KIND OF COME TOGETHER, LIKE WE HAVE THE EXPANSIVE SOIL AND THEN WE HAVE EXCESS PIPELINE FAILURE, UH, HOW, HOW ARE WE PLANNING FOR THAT? BECAUSE I THINK OF A MEDIUM RISK AND A LOW RISK COMBINED, THEN WE'RE BACK TO OUR HIGH RISK.
AND DO WE HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT? AND SO COUNCILWOMAN, I CAN TELL YOU THAT'S A, THAT'S A NIGHTMARE FOR ANY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, UH, ENTITY WHERE WE HAVE WHAT THEY CALL CASCADING EVENTS LIKE IN WINTER STORM YURI.
AND SO YES, WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW THOSE CASCADING AGAINST THE EVENTS DEVELOP, AND IF WE HAVE TO COMBINE TWO
[00:50:01]
IN OUR RESPONSE, WE ABSOLUTELY COULD.WHAT THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN REALLY LOOKS AT THOUGH, IS THE MITIGATION AND PREVENTION EFFORTS BEFOREHAND.
SO THERE'S 131 PROJECTS ACTUALLY THAT ARE, UH, OUTLINED IN THE, UH, HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
UM, WE'VE COMPLETED SOME, SOME ARE IN PROCESS, SOME WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR FUNDING IN THE FUTURE TO, UM, TO COMPLETE.
BUT IT'S REALLY THE PREVENTION EFFORTS, UH, TOWARDS THOSE DIFFERENT RISKS THAT WE LOOK AT.
THE RESPONSE IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEAL WITH, UM, AS THEY COME ABOUT.
AND, AND COUNCILWOMAN ALSO SOME CONTEXT, THE RANKING IS BASED ON HISTORICAL EVENTS.
SO, UH, IS LOOKING AT MANY, MANY YEARS OF HISTORY IN SAN ANTONIO, AND THAT'S HOW THE RANKING COMES ABOUT.
'CAUSE I THINK, UH, YEAH, THIS, THIS SUMMER WITH THE WILDFIRES, ESPECIALLY IN, IN DISTRICT THREE, UH, WAS A CONCERN.
AND THEN, AND THEN WHAT WAS HAPPENING OUTSIDE IN SOME OF OUR RURAL AREAS IN THE, IN THE SOUTHERN SECTOR, WERE, WERE, WERE REALLY CAUSES FOR CONCERN AS AS THE DEVELOPMENT CAME.
SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE AT THE HIGH RISK.
UM, THAT THAT'S THE, THAT'S IT FOR QUESTIONS FOR ME.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING THIS FORWARD AND WORKING WITH Y'ALL TO ADDRESS THE, UM, TOP FIVE RESPONSES OF WHY THEY WOULD NOT USE A RESILIENCY HUB.
THANK YOU COUNCIL AND COUNCILMAN PERRY.
UM, EVERYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT SLIDE FOUR, SO I'LL TALK ABOUT SLIDE FOUR TOO.
WHY NOT? AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT, BUT, UH, I SEE A BIG GAP NOT ON THE SOUTHEAST WEST SIDE, BUT UP THERE ON THE NORTH SIDE.
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.
UM, I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT COMMENT RIGHT THERE.
UM, I, I'M, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SPACING THERE ALSO AND WOULD LIKE, LIKE, UH, LIKE TO LOOK AT THAT A LITTLE BIT CLOSER.
AND I KNOW THIS IS JUST A START, BUT, UH, UM, YEAH, THAT LOOKS A LITTLE BIT OFF TO ME.
JUST MY, MY COMMENT ON THAT AT THIS POINT, ALONG WITH THE, ALONG WITH THE, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE LIKED AND DIDN'T LIKE, UM, WE, WE'VE HAD COOLING CENTERS.
WE HAD THOSE THIS YEAR, RIGHT? YES, SIR.
AND WHAT WERE THOSE LOCATIONS THAT WE HAD THOSE SET UP AT? MOST OF THOSE WERE LIBRARIES AROUND THE CITY.
AND WHAT WAS THE USAGE? UH, I WOULD SAY LOW.
I, I'D LIKE THE DATA ON THAT FOR EACH ONE OF THE LOCATIONS THAT WE SET THAT UP.
AND WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL USAGE OF THOSE? BECAUSE WE'RE SPENDING A LOT, THIS IS A MILLION BUCKS FOR THESE FOUR CENTERS HERE.
AND I'LL GET INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
BUT ARE PEOPLE GONNA USE IT? THAT'S THE QUESTION.
I'M, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, TOP REASONS WHY PEOPLE WOULDN'T USE IT.
AND I'M, I'M CONCERNED THAT WE TAKE ALL THIS MONEY INTO THESE CENTERS AND THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE USED.
I, I NEED THAT DATA ON WHO AND HOW MANY NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WERE USING THE COOLING CENTERS, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE A, ALSO AN INDICATOR ON HOW THESE FACILITIES WOULD BE USED IN THE FUTURE.
SO YOU SAID YOU GOT A MILLION BUCKS FOR THESE FOUR, FOUR LOCATIONS.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT GONNA GIVE US? FOUR GENERATORS AND THE INSTALLATION OF LOOSE GENERATORS.
SO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT WOULD GO INTO THESE FOUR CENTERS.
HOW MUCH MORE, MORE MONEY IS REQUIRED FOR THESE FOUR CENTERS TO GET IT TO A HUNDRED PERCENT OPERATION? AND TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, THE ANSWER IS, I DON'T KNOW.
UM, SO IT WOULD DEPEND ON WHAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD WANT IN THAT COMMUNITY CENTER OR THAT RESILIENCY HUB IN ORDER TO, TO DO THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WOULD HELP IT FLOURISH, WOULD HELP PEOPLE USE THOSE THINGS TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO THAT PLACE OF GATHERING IN A DISASTER TIMEFRAME.
WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT FOOD STORES, WATER STORES, AND WHETHER TO GET YOU THAT INFORMATION ON IF THERE'S ANY, UH, ADDITIONAL COST FOR THOSE ITEMS. BUT RIGHT NOW, AS FAR AS SOLAR PANELS ON, IF, IF THAT'S ONE A COMMUNITY GARDEN, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE REALLY HAVE TO GET UP TO THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE.
SO IF WE WERE TO GO TO SLIDE NUMBER THREE, JUST TO SHOW YOU COUNCILMAN AT THE END OF SOME CONFUSION WITH THIS PICTURE THAT WE SHOW, THIS IS THE IDEAL RESILIENCY HUB THAT HAS THE SOLE SOLAR POWER, THE COMMUNITY GARDEN, THE SHADED SPACES, WHILE WE'RE WORKING ON PRIMARILY ALSO ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, WHICH IS THE BACKUP POWER, JUST TO ENSURE THAT IF WE
[00:55:01]
ARE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES AT THOSE CENTERS.SO WE DON'T HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE OTHER ITEMS. WE WANT TO TRY THIS OUT, SEE HOW THE COMMUNITY'S USING IT BEFORE COMMITTING TO A LARGER INVESTMENT.
SO WHAT I WAS MENTIONING AS PART OF OUR RESILIENCY PLAN FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE GONNA BE WORKING ON IN 2023, WOULD BE TACKLING, POTENTIALLY ADDING THOSE AND BRINGING THAT TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.
SO THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF, UH, OF THE RESILIENCY HUB.
SO I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED THOUGH.
I, AND I UNDERSTAND THIS DRAWING AND THIS CONCEPT, BUT YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE COMMUNITY AND LET THEM DRIVE WHAT THEY WANNA SEE IN THESE.
WE NEED TO, WHAT, WHAT WOULD MAKE THAT CENTER MORE ATTRACTIVE TO THEM USING IT MORE OFTEN? 'CAUSE REMEMBER, 99% OF THE TIME IT'S GONNA BE AN EVERYDAY USE.
AND SO WE WANT TO DRIVE, UH, PEOPLE TO USE THE CENTERS IN THEIR COMMUNITY SO THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT.
WE CAN IMPROVE OUR PREVENTION EFFORTS OR OUR PREPARATION EFFORTS IN THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS.
BUT IF A COMMUNITY GARDEN IS A NEED FOR THE COMMUNITY, THEN WE CAN LOOK AT HELP HELPING THEM, UH, PROVIDE THAT AT THOSE COMMUNITY HUBS.
I GUESS I NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION BECAUSE OKAY.
I COULD BE IN A COMMUNITY, LIKE A SENIOR CENTER AND SAY, WE NEED MORE PINGING PONG TABLES.
IS THAT GONNA BE CHARGED TO THIS PROGRAM? NO, WE WOULD, WE WOULD LOOK STRICTLY TOWARDS, UH, THINGS THAT WE COULD PROVIDE TO MAKE IT A MORE RESILIENT NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT NECESSARILY AN ENTERTAINING ONE.
YEAH, I NEED MORE INFORMATION ON THAT.
UM, I, I THINK THAT WAS, IT GOT THE OTHER QUESTIONS ANSWERED, BUT I DID HAVE A QUESTION.
DID COUNCILMAN SOUND OF ALL MAKE A MOTION? YES.
ONE OR BOTH? OH, BECAUSE THERE'S TWO HERE, RIGHT THERE.
RESILIENCY HUBS AND HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
IN THE MOTION MATTER CLERK, I UNDERSTOOD THE MOTION TO BE ONLY MADE ON THE, UH, HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
SO, WE'LL, ONE ITEM, BUT IT'S ONE ITEM.
SO, SO WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER MOTION FOR THE OTHER ITEM.
PERHAPS WE SHOULD HAVE A MOTION THAT COMBINES THEM BOTH.
SO, SO THE, THE MOTION IS TO MOVE THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
THE RESILIENCY HOUSE WAS A BRIEFING ON THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS, AND FOR US TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE GENERATORS FOR THOSE FOUR LOCATIONS IS ON THE AGENDA THIS THURSDAY FOR A VOTE FOR THE FULL COUNCIL.
BUT THIS, BUT THE ACTION TODAY IS FOR MOVING THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN TO THE FULL COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
WELL, UM, I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR, I DO ACTUALLY HAVE A QUICK QUESTION THAT SURE.
ABOUT COUNCIL PERRY'S LAST, UH, COMMENT THERE.
I THINK THE QUESTION WAS THE COMMUNITY IS GOING TO DRIVE WHAT'S GONNA BE THERE, BUT, UH, IT, IT, WHEN YOU GO TO COMMUNITY MEETINGS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE OPTIONS, RIGHT? LIKE TO HIS EXAMPLE, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE PINGING PONG TABLES ON IT AS AN OPTION, RIGHT? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ESSENTIALLY LIKE A, YOU KNOW, SOLAR POWER STORAGE COMMUNITY GARDEN.
SO THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO BE DRIVING IT.
IS THAT CORRECT? AND THERE'S SOME EDUCATION EFFORTS THAT ARE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE PLACE, UH, IN, IN, AS YOU WOULD SEE IN, UM, LET'S SEE, SLIDE NUMBER NINE, TO PROMOTE THE RESILIENCY HUBS AND TO PROVIDE THAT EDUCATION AS PART OF THE PLAN IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER TO START TO CONTACT THE STAFF TO START TO MAKE CONTACT AND, AND HOLD, UH, COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO SEE, UH, TO EDUCATE AND TO SEE WHERE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE BETTER.
I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS WE SHOULD HAVE A STANDARD PLAN FOR THESE RESILIENCY CENTERS, NOT HAVE DIFFERENT RESILIENCY CENTERS OUT THERE.
TO ME, WE SHOULD HAVE A STANDARD FACILITY THAT OFFERS, OKAY, HERE'S THE BASIC THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA OFFER.
REALLY LEAVE IT UP TO THE COMMUNITY TO SAY, HERE'S WHAT WE WANT TO SEE AT OUR RESILIENCY CENTER.
I, I THINK WOULD BE GOING OFF IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND, AND SPENDING DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF MONEY IN DIFFERENT HUBS.
I, I, I GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
I GUESS I, I WOULD, I AGREE WITH YOU.
SAY WE REALLY NEED A STANDARD PLAN AND WE'LL DO THAT.
THAT'S ALL, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
UM, OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
UH, ALL, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
[01:00:01]
VISUALLY THE COUNCIL VIA YES.ANY OPPOSED? UM, MOTION PASSES ONTO ITEM FOUR, UH, BRIEFING ON SS A P D, PROCUREMENT AND COUNCIL COUNCIL.
MEMBERS AS CHIEF MCNESS IS COMING UP TO THE PODIUM.
UM, THIS, THIS ITEM IS JUST TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A BRIEFING OF TWO PROCUREMENTS THAT THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL BE HANDLED IN THE, IN THE NEXT, UM, MONTH OR SO.
THIS IS NOT FOR ACTION, IT'S JUST TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY AS A PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THIS.
TWO VERY IMPORTANT PROCUREMENTS FOR EQUIPMENT FOR THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO, CHIEF, GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN, AND THANK YOU, UH, MARIA.
SO I WANNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HANDGUNS.
UM, THE HANDGUNS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW ARE, UH, COMING TO THE END OF THEIR, UH, LIFESPAN.
BACK IN 2013, WE PURCHASED, UM, UH, THE SMITH AND WESSON 40 CALIBER, UH, PISTOLS THAT WE CARRY NOW.
UH, AND NOT ONLY DOES SAN ANTONIO POLICE CARRY THEM, BUT, UH, AIRPORT PARK AND THE FIRE, UH, THE ARSON DETAIL WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO CARRY THEM.
AND THEY ARE DUE FOR REPLACEMENT IN, UH, EARLY 2023.
AND WE INTEND TO REPLACE THOSE CURRENT OR OUR CURRENT HANDGUNS WITH THE SMITH AND WESSON.
AND THE BIG CHANGE IN HERE IS A NINE MILLIMETER ROUND AS OPPOSED TO 40.
SO, UH, IN 2021, THE LABOR RELATIONS COMMITTEE, BASED ON INFORMATION THAT THEY RECEIVED FROM, UH, EXPERTS AT THE RANGE, UH, DECIDED THAT THE, UM, SMITH AND WESSON NINE MILLIMETER WOULD BE THE WEAPON THAT WE WOULD GO TO BEGINNING IN 2023.
UM, THEY LOOKED AT, UH, THE CALIBER, THE MANUFACTURERS, UH, ACCURACY RATINGS AND, UH, EASE OF USE AND THE, UM, REDUCING MALFUNCTIONS AND ALL THOSE FACTORS PLAYED INTO L C'S RECOMMENDATION THAT WE GO TO THE SMITH AND WESSON NINE MILLIMETER.
SO NINE MILLIMETERS MOST IS THE, IS THE CALIBER MOST USED IN FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, UH, SAN ANTONIO IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY MAJOR CITY IN TEXAS THAT'S USING THE 40 CALIBER HANDGUN.
UM, OFFICERS WILL BE GIVEN AS THEY WERE BEFORE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE THEIR ON-DUTY WEAPON.
ABOUT 2300 OFFICERS ARE PROJECTED TO PURCHASE THEIR WEAPON, AND, UH, THAT WILL OFFSET THE PRICE OF THE NEW WEAPONS, UH, WEAPONS THAT ARE NOT PURCHASED BY OFFICERS WILL BE DESTROYED.
AND AT OUR FIRST IN-SERVICE TRAINING, UH, IN 2023, UM, THE NEW WEAPONS WILL BE PASSED OUT AND THERE'LL BE AN EIGHT HOUR TRAINING BLOCK THAT'S REQUIRED BEFORE THE OFFICERS ARE, UH, PERMITTED TO CARRY THEM.
UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT 2,800 WEAPONS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, S A P D 200 OR SO FOR THE PARKS POLICE, 60 FOR AIRPORT, AND 31 FOR, UM, THE ARSON DETAIL WITH FIRE.
THE ESTIMATED COST IS TWO POINT, UH, 2.1 MILLION.
THE PROJECTED OFFSET IS 508,000, UH, FROM THE OFFICER RETENTION PROGRAM, UH, THE NEW COST WOULD BE, THE NET COST WOULD BE 1.6 MILLION.
UH, THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON SAP'S GENERAL FUND.
AND ONTO THE NEXT, UM, PRESENTATION.
OUR INCOR VIDEO, LIKE OUR, UH, LIKE OUR HANDGUNS, THE CURRENT COBAN SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE IS NEAR ITS LIFE'S END AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED.
SO WE'RE WORKING WITH, UH, UH, I T S D, UH, THAT'S WHY CRAIG'S HERE TODAY.
UH, LOOKING AT A NEW CLOUD-BASED, UH, SYSTEM AND THE CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM.
UM, LEMME TALK ABOUT THE OCCURRING CAR FIRST.
SO, UH, VEHICLE MOUNTED CAMERAS, WE ALL KNOW WHAT THEY DO.
THEY SHOW EVERYTHING THAT'S IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE THAT'S HAPPENING, BUT THEY'RE ALSO USED IN PROSECUTIONS.
THEY'RE USED FOR TRAINING, UH, IT FAR AS ACCOUNTABILITY AS DO THE BODY CAM VIDEOS.
AND THEN THE, THE CHALLENGES WITH THE CURRENT, UH, SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE IS THAT RIGHT NOW, THE, THE, THE, UH, MONITOR THAT WE USE, THAT OFFICERS USE TO, UM, TO HAVE TO TAG VIDEOS AND, AND LOG ON IS
[01:05:01]
ABOUT A SIX BY SIX, EXCUSE ME, ABOUT A SIX BY SIX SCREEN.AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH.
IT REQUIRES MANUAL LABELING OR TAGGING OF THE VIDEOS AFTER EACH CALL FOR SERVICE.
UM, THE CURRENT SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE FOR IT TO BE UPLOADED, WE WAIT TILL THE, TILL THE END OF THE TOUR OF DUTY.
WE PARK IT ON THE PARKING LOT WITHIN RANGE OF AN ANTENNA, CORRECT ME, CRAIG, IF I'M SAYING THIS WRONG, WITHIN RANGE OF AN ANTENNA AND THE INFORMATION ON THE HARD DRIVE UPLOADS INTO THE, UH, INTO THE SYSTEM WITH THE CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM, IT, IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.
THE CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM UPLOADS ALL DAY AS IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE PARKED AT A SUBSTATION IN ORDER FOR THE INFORMATION TO BE UPLOADED ON, ON THE, ON THE HARD DRIVE IN THE, UH, IN THE COBAN.
UM, SO WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, WHAT THE, WHAT THE COBAN OR WHAT THE IN-CAR VIDEO DOES.
IT GIVES US A, A PICTURE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN FRONT OF THAT CAR.
UH, IT GIVES US THE ABILITY, AGAIN TO, UH, UNLOAD THE VIDEO, UH, PRIOR TO THE SHIFT'S END AND IT AUTO TAGS IT.
SO INSTEAD OF AN OFFICER HAVING TO MANUALLY TAG THE, UH, TAG THE VIDEO, UH, AFTER EACH CALL, IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY, UH, ELIMINATING, UM, HUMAN ERROR.
SO, UH, BOTH THE HANDGUNS AND THE, UH, IN-CAR VIDEO PRESENTATION ARE FOR BRIEFING PURPOSES ONLY, AND WE WILL BRING THAT BOTH OF THEM TO CITY COUNCIL, UH, FOR CONSIDERATION IN OCTOBER.
AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
UM, I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE CLOUD SYSTEM.
UH, WILL OFFICERS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO HAVE, GIVE INPUT ON THE, ON THE CLOUD SYSTEM AND HOW IT'S WORKING ON THE HANDGUNS? UH, NO, ON THE CLOUD SYSTEM, THE VIDEO? UH, YES.
WE HAD A, WE HAD A TECHNOLOGY TEAM THAT, UH, IS WORKING ON THAT WITH THAT MATTER OF FACT, THEY'RE HERE TODAY.
AND, AND, UH, OFFICERS THAT ARE OUT THERE, UM, ON THE STREETS, THEY, THEY'RE GIVING Y'ALL IN YES.
AND THEN, UM, DOES THE CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM NEED WIFI TO, TO UPLOAD OR IS THAT HOW, HOW, WHY YOU DON'T NEED TO BE NEAR YOUR SUBSTATION? YES.
UM, SO WHEN THEY'RE OUT IN THE FIELD, THEY WON'T HAVE YES.
UM, I, I'M GLAD TO SEE THE CLOUD STORAGE THAT'S SO IMPORTANT NOW OF DAYS.
UH, ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SEE, AND I'M, I'M GLAD, UH, COUNCILMAN VEO HDA ASKED THOSE QUESTIONS.
I THINK SOMETIMES I T S D MAKES DECISIONS ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND, AND USES AND THEY DON'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE USER.
SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT A TEAM IS PART OF IT.
I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T, I DON'T WANNA GET, I THINK WE NEED A SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T OVER PROMISE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S SO OUTDATED THAT WILL BE OUTDATED BY YEAR, BY NEXT YEAR.
SO I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN, THERE ARE THINGS THAT I I T S D HAS PURCHASED WHERE I WAS LIKE, I, I WOULD'VE THOUGHT A LITTLE MORE BEFORE WE GOT THAT SYSTEM.
SO, UH, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE TEAM IS GONNA BE THERE AND, UM, AND THAT WE'LL, UH, WE'LL HAVE THE BEST TECHNOLOGY FOR OUR OFFICERS.
UH, CAN WE ALSO GET IN THE NEXT EVALUATION IN TERMS OF WHAT SORT OF, UM, WHAT SORT OF COST THIS WOULD INCLUDE TO DO THE UPLOADS AND TAGGING AND OR THE AUTO TAG, WHAT SORT OF COST THIS WOULD BE FOR, UH, THE NEW SUBSTATIONS COMING OUT IN ST IF THERE WILL BE A COST FOR THE NEW SUBSTATION IN THE SOUTH OR THE DOWNTOWN SUB, UM, OR IF, IF THE COST WILL BE LESS, BECAUSE WE WON'T NEED AS MUCH, UM, OF THE, OF THE WIFI FOR THAT END OF SHIFT MASSIVE DOWNLOAD THAT THEY USED TO DO.
SO IF I COULD GET THAT INFORMATION NEXT BRIEFING.
COUNCILMAN DIEGO AND COUNCILMAN PERRY? YES, THANK YOU MA'AM.
UH, CHIEF, UH, YOUR BULLET SAYS THAT WE'RE THE ONLY MAJOR CITY IN TEXAS USING THE 40 CALIBER.
WHY IS THAT? I MEAN, WAS EVERYBODY USING THE 40 CALIBER AT ONE TIME OR DID SAN ANTONIO JUST SO IN A DIRECT DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN ALL THE OTHER CITIES? WE WENT TO 40 CALIBER.
UH, WELL WE HAD IT WITH THE GLOCKS PRIOR TO 10 YEARS AGO, BUT, UH, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE CHA YOU KNOW, WE GO 10 YEARS AND THEN WE
[01:10:01]
RENEW THE WEAPONS, WE, WE PLACE THE WEAPONS.UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER CITIES WERE DOING WITH, UH, BUT I KNOW, I KNOW MOST OF THEM CARRIED 40 CALIBER.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY SWITCHED.
SO SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN EVERYBODY WENT TO NINE.
AND I SEE, UH, ON THE SLIDE NUMBER FIVE, WE'RE GIVEN OFFICERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN WEAPONS.
BUT THE LAST ONE IS THAT THOSE THAT AREN'T PURCHASED ARE GONNA BE DESTROYED.
WHY HAVE WE SOLD THOSE IN THE PAST? I DON'T BELIEVE WE SOLD THE LAST BATCH WHEN WE DID IT 10 YEARS AGO.
UM, DID WE ANYBODY REMEMBER
WHEN WE TRANSITIONED IN 2013, WE DID HAVE A BROKER, I BELIEVE IT WAS JUS IN THE MIDDLE THAT, UM, IF THE OFFICERS DID NOT PURCHASE THEM, THEY WERE ABLE TO SELL THEM THROUGH THEIR STORE OR WHATEVER.
AND WHY DON'T WE DO THE SAME THING THIS TIME? SO, UM, COUNCILMAN, I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
THAT WAS A, UM, CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY MANAGER THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO THE COUNCIL THAT WE ALLOW THE OFFICERS TO BUY THEIR ON DUTY WEAPON IF THEY CHOOSE TO.
AND FOR THOSE WEAPONS THAT ARE NOT PURCHASED BY THE OFFICERS, THAT WE DESTROY THEM.
SO THAT, THAT IS, UM, NOT NECESSARILY COMING FROM THE CHIEF, BUT A CONVERSATION WE HAD WITH, WITH THE CITY MANAGER.
THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION TO THE, THE CITY COUNCIL.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE COST DIFFERENTIAL IS, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IS IT GONNA COST US TO DESTROY 'EM VERSUS HOW MUCH COULD WE MAKE, UM, SELLING THOSE JUST LIKE WE DID LAST TIME.
THIS INCAR VIDEO SYSTEM, SO THIS IS CLOUD BASED.
UM, IT'S CLOUD BASED, BUT WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS LIKE AN HARDWIRED INCAR SYSTEM.
WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, I WAS GONNA LET CHIEF ANSWER THIS, BUT I'LL I'LL GET YOU
THEY PULL INTO THE STATION, THEY SIT UNDER A ROOF, THE DATA UPLOADS BASICALLY TO AN ANTENNA SYSTEM AT THE STATION, AND THEN IT GOES TO SERVERS THAT WE OWN IN THE CITY IN OUR DATA CENTER.
AND WE MANAGE ALL OF THAT OURSELF.
AND SO THAT TODAY THE OFFICERS THAT NEED TO GO INTO OUR SERVERS TAG THE, THE, THE VIDEOS AND SO FORTH, AND THEN PUT IT IN STORAGE WHEREVER IT NEEDS TO GO IN THE NEWS SYSTEM.
LIKE THE COUNCILWOMAN ASKED AS WELL, THEY HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A CRADLEPOINT SYSTEM IN THE, UM, THE VEHICLE ALREADY.
WE USE THAT FOR DATA ACCESS FOR THE LAPTOP.
SO YOU CAN USE MULTIPLE NETWORKS, WE'LL USE THE SAME DATA ACCESS NETWORK.
SO AS IT'S COLLECTING VIDEO, IT'LL BE UPLOADING TO THE CLOUD, NOT TO THE CITY SYSTEM, BUT TO THE VENDOR SYSTEM WHERE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO AUTO TAG IT AND STORE IT.
AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO PULL FROM THE CLOUD WHEN WE NEED THE VIDEO AND PUT IT IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
IT'S A DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION.
OUR CURRENT CONFIGURATION ARE THERE NEW INSTEAD OF CLOUD BASED.
ARE THERE NEW SYSTEMS THAT WE ARE, LIKE WHAT WE CURRENTLY DO, BUT WITH UPGRADES? YEAH.
SO WITHOUT GETTING INTO TOO MUCH, WE CAN EITHER DO IT OURSELF ON OUR PREMISE, WE CAN DO IT IN SOMEONE ELSE'S, UH, NETWORK IN THE CLOUD OR WE CALL A HYBRID.
WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.
IT'S AN ARCHITECTURE WE GET TO CHOOSE WITH THE VENDOR, WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR US.
AND THIS CASE WE'RE PROPOSING A FULL CLOUD SYSTEM WHERE WE DON'T HAVE TO BE THE OWNER AND MAINTAINER OF THE DATA IN THE SYSTEMS. IT'S ACTUALLY DONE BY THE VENDOR AND WE HAVE ACCESS TO IT.
IT'S, UH, CHEAPER TO INSTALL, I WILL TELL YOU THAT.
BUT IT'S ABOUT THE SAME COST OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE IT, UM, 'CAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT PROS AND CONS OF THAT AS WE GO.
WELL THAT, THAT'S THE PART THAT I'M MISSING FROM THIS PRESENTATION.
WHAT IS THE COST? WHAT ARE THE TRADE OFFS AND WHAT'S, HOW, HOW DO THESE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS COMPARE TO EACH OTHER COST WISE? UH, IF WE GO TO TOTAL CLOUD BASED SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF AN
WE DIDN'T GO OUT AND SEARCH ALL NEW SYSTEMS ALL OVER.
AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO SEE COMPARABLE COSTS IN EITHER ONE OF THOSE.
BUT TO YOUR POINT, WELL WE COULD LAY OUT THE COST FOR YOU.
YEAH, I, I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK AT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER WITH THAT OR COME BACK TO THIS BODY TO TALK ABOUT COST.
UM, MAKING SURE, OH, ONE MORE QUESTION.
[01:15:01]
WILL THIS SYSTEM BE REAL TIME THAT SOMEBODY CAN BE SEEING IT LIKE IN THE POLICE, IN THE, IN THE STATION ITSELF, BE ACTUALLY REVIEWING WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE FIELD REAL TIME? YEAH.HEY, COUNCILMAN, JUST
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL LOOK INTO, BUT IT IS, UH, IT IS, UH, AN OPTION THAT IS AVAILABLE AND, UH, WE HAVEN'T, THAT'S GONNA BE A DISCUSSION, UH, AMONGST THE LABOR RELATIONS, OUR TECHNOLOGY TEAM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS BEST FOR US.
OF COURSE, I'M SURE THAT COSTS MORE TOO.
ALRIGHT, WELL THAT'S WHAT I WANNA SEE.
I WANNA SEE ALL THIS STUFF THAT Y'ALL ARE CONSIDERING IN A COST PACKAGE, COMPARING AND CONTRAST.
UM, THAT WAS AN ITEM FOR BRIEFING, SO, UM, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS, WE, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE DONE ITEM FOUR AND, UH, ACTUALLY THAT, THAT, UH, TAKES CARE OF OUR MEETING, UH, TODAY.
PLEASE REMEMBER OUR MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE IN OCTOBER.
I KNOW WE'RE KIND OF LATE IN SEPTEMBER, BUT WE'LL HAVE ONE, I THINK BELIEVE OCTOBER 10TH.
UM, I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THIS WORK WITH ALL OF YOU.
