I BELIEVE CAL AND BRIAN IS HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU CAN LOOK IN ALRIGHT. MY NAME IS BRIAN O'NEILL, CHIEF OF LOUISVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT. MAJOR KYLE, DEPUTY CHIEF OF SPECIAL PROJECTS FOR LOCAL FIRE. SO BASICALLY WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES, AND THE REASON IT HAD TO BE SOLD SOURCES. WHEN YOU LOOK AT OTHER VENDORS, THEY JUST DON'T HAVE A SIMILAR PRODUCT.

THIS IS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT'S AVAILABLE THAT CAN COVER WHAT WE NEED. PRIMARILY IT'S FOR INCIDENT MANAGEMENT. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN MULTIPLE FIRE COMPANIES ARE SHOWING UP ON ANYTHING FROM RESIDENTIAL FIRE TO SOMETHING AS BIG AS WHAT WE SAW DOWN AT FIFTH AND MARKET THAT REQUIRES EVEN MORE. WE DON'T HAVE A VERY EFFECTIVE TOOL RIGHT NOW. THAT KEEPS TRACK OF EXACTLY WHO IS THERE AND WHERE THEY ARE, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES. NOT ONLY DOES IT DO THAT IT HELPS WITH OUR STAFFING. DAY TO DAY INTEGRATES THAT INTO WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE SCENE AND HELPS US TO TRACK AND IT WORKS ON OUR IPADS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT EVERY FIRE APPARATUS HAS. AND AGAIN. THIS WAS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT COULD DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IF THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS IN THE QUEUE. I DON'T I JUST HAVE A QUESTION.

THEY'RE READY TO HIT THE GROUND AND ALSO FOR ALL THE METRO COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT UNDER OUR OUT THERE THIS IS NOT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY FOR THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICE DISTRICT, BUT SO THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE BASICALLY WAITING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THIS AND THEY PLAN ON PIGGYBACKING ON SO THAT WE HAVE MATCHING SOFTWARE BECAUSE AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, WE DO START MAKING A LOT OF RESPONSES TOGETHER ACROSS BOUNDARY. AND THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO INTEGRATE THAT TYPE OF COMMAND FOR EVERYBODY. THAT'S ON SCENE. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU, MA'AM. COMMITTEE MEMBER, DR BLACKWELL.

THANK YOU. UM, SO THIS IS NEW SOFTWARE, CORRECT. AND DOES IT REPLACE SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE? I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN MAYBE WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE, BUT ISN'T TOTALLY NEW, OR IS IT REPLACING SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY DOESN'T WORK VERY EFFECTIVELY FOR YOU. THIS IS THIS IS TOTALLY NEW SOFTWARE, BUT IT INTEGRATES WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO INCLUDE, LIKE OUR COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH , SO EVERYTHING THAT WE CURRENTLY DO WITH ANY TYPE OF STAFFING OR DISPATCH IT INTEGRATES RIGHT WITH IT WILL BE PICKING UP AND WORKING SIDE BY SIDE AND MAKING SURE THAT IT PLUGS EVERYTHING IN OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU. I DON'T SEE ANY MORE SPEAKERS IN THE QUEUE. IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE QUEUE, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? AT THIS TIME.

FIVE INTO THE RECORD, PLEASE. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LOUISVILLE METRO CODE OF ORDINANCES SECTION 72.062 CONCERNING FEES FOR STOLEN VEHICLES TOWED TO THE METRO GOVERNMENT TO A LOT. THE MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION. THE ITEM HAS BEEN PROBABLY MOVE BY SHAMEKA, RIGHT. PURSE MEMBERSHIP . SHAMIKA RIGHT PERSON, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN DANCING. THE ITEM IS BEFORE US. I BELIEVE STEVE HALEY NICK COREY ROBINSON IS HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS IS WHAT WAS VICE CHURCH DANCE SIDES. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND TITLE FOR THE RECORD AND YOU CAN BEGIN. YES, MA'AM. I'M DETECTIVE DEPUTY CHIEF STEVE HEALY. I WILL BE THE ONLY REPRESENTATIVE FROM EL NPD, SPEAKING ON THIS SEEING AS HOW I ACTUALLY CONTACTED DR MCRANEY WHEN I FIRST STARTED SEEING SOME ISSUES WITH THIS SITUATION, AND I KNOW THE ORDINANCE WAS ORIGINALLY DRAFTED BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF STOLEN CARS. WE HAVE A SPACE ISSUE AT THE TOLL LOT, AND THERE WAS A 21 DAY GRACE PERIOD FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE VICTIMS OF STOLEN CARS TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR CAR.

FROM THE TOLL LIGHT. HOWEVER WE HAVE SEEN, UH, SITUATIONS THAT ARE BEYOND INDIVIDUALS CONTROL ON BEING ABLE TO MAKE THAT 21 DAY PERIOD TO COME PICK UP THEIR VEHICLE. SO WHAT? WHAT I ASKED

[00:20:08]

FOR WAS THE ABILITY FOR THE CHIEF OR HER DESIGNEE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION AND TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE THOSE FEES SO THE INDIVIDUALS COULD GET THEIR CAR BACK. UM SOME OF THE SITUATIONS THAT I WAS CALLED ABOUT, UH, WHERE SOMEBODY WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE YOUR CAR IS STOLEN DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GETTING IT BACK A DAY OR TWO. SOMETIMES IT COULD BE MONTHS AND THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT HAPPENED IN PEOPLE'S LIVES THAT ARE BEYOND THEIR CONTROL. PEOPLE CAN GET DEPLOYED TO THE MILITARY. UH UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE SEEN A SITUATION WHERE THE ACTUAL OWNER OF THE CAR PASSED AWAY. IN THE CAR WAS PART OF THE ESTATE. SO PEOPLE HAVE TO GET, YOU KNOW, UM, AUTHORIZATION FROM THE COURTS TO DO THOSE. SO WE CONSULTED WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND SOME OF THE EXCEPTIONS THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE OR, YOU KNOW, UM TOO MUCH TO ASK . WOULD BE, UM IF SOMEONE WAS HOSPITALIZED MILITARY LEAVE DELAY IN RECEIVING NECESSARY PAPERWORK THROUGH PROBATE OF THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. DELAY IN RECEIVING POWER OF ATTORNEY OR GUARDIANSHIP PAPERWORK FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE DELAY AND RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE DUE TO DISPUTED INSURANCE CLAIMS RELATED TO THE VEHICLE THEFT. UH, ANY INCAPACITATION OF THE OWNER, WHICH PHYSICALLY PROHIBITS THEM FOR RETRIEVING THEIR VEHICLE OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE, WHICH PHYSICALLY FINANCIALLY OR LEGALLY PROHIBITS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE FOR BEING ABLE TO RETRIEVE THEIR STOLEN VEHICLE WITHIN THE 21 DAY PERIOD. I DO REALIZE THAT YOU KNOW, UH, NOT COLLECTING SOME OF THESE FEES MAY COST US A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY AT THE END, BUT I BELIEVE IF THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD THEIR CAR STOLEN, THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN VICTIMIZED, AND IT'S ALREADY A TRAUMATIC EVENT FOR THEM, AND IF THEY HAVE SITUATIONS THAT ARE OUT OF THEIR CONTROL AS I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THE AUTONOMY TO BE ABLE TO WAIVE THOSE FEES. MAYBE ADVICE. TRUE DANCING'S DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS? THANK YOU, CHAIR. UM THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING IN. YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH. ONE THING I'D LIKE TO ADD IS THAT WE DID INCLUDE AN APPEALS PROCESS WITH THIS SITUATION. SO THANK YOU. WE DID HAVE A COUPLE OF CONSTITUENTS IN MY DISTRICT COME OUT AND THEY WERE ONE DAY LATE AND WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $1000 AND HAD ALREADY BEEN VICTIMIZED. SO THANK YOU FOR THE FOR HELPING US ON THIS AND I URGE FOR UNANIMOUS PASSAGE OF THIS. COMMITTEE MEMBER, DR BLACK, UM BLACKWELL, PLEASE. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THANK YOU. UM I AGREE WITH YOU. THIS LOOKS LIKE COMMON SENSE LEGISLATION AND IF THE SPONSORS WOULD BE OKAY, I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US IN CO SPONSOR. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR DID DO THE REQUEST? I DID. I'M SORRY. UM.

I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND LET EM COUNCIL MEMBER POWER MCRANEY DOCTOR. PAULA MCCREADY'S BEFORE.

WE CAN'T HURT YOU. THANK YOU, UH, ASSISTANT CHIEF POLICE CHIEF HEALY FOR BEING THERE TODAY. AND SPEAKING ON THIS WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CALL FROM YOU, IT WAS DEVASTATING TO FIND OUT THAT THIS WAS GOING ON. I THINK THAT WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE REALLY HELPED IN COMING UP WITH ALL OF THE EXCEPTIONS AND ALL OF THE, UH, THE WAYS THAT IF THESE THINGS ARE ARE OCCURRING WITH THESE VICTIMIZED PERSONS ALREADY THAT WE ARE GIVING THEM GRACE AND THAT, UH, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO EVENTUALLY GET THEIR CARS WITHOUT BEING VICTIMIZED AGAIN, SO I THINK THIS AS DR BLACKWELL SAID, IT'S COMMON SENSE LEGISLATION. AND I AM PROUD TO BE A SPONSOR ON THIS, AND I WELCOME EVERYONE TO PLEASE LOOK AT THIS FOR WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS BEING PRESENTED AS BECAUSE THIS IS TRULY HAPPENING TO OUR CONSTITUENTS, AND IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, SO I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SUPPORT IT. COUNCIL MEMBERS SHAMIKA RIGHT PARISH BEFORE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO ONE I WOULD LOVE TO SIGN ON AS A CO SPONSOR AND STATE THAT RE VICTIMIZATION IS REAL. AND I DROPPED MY INSURANCE ON MY JEEP AND THEN IT WAS STOLEN AND VANDALIZED. AND, UH, I HAD TO PAY $3000 BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE FULL COVERAGE. SO

[00:25:05]

IT'S JUST TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE KIND OF COMMUNITY POLICING THAT PEOPLE NEED. AND I COMMEND EVERYONE THAT WORKED ON THIS. THANK YOU. STAND UP ONE ELSE IN ACUTE DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR OTHER CONCERNS? IF NOT WHAT I ASKED HIM HOLD, IT FALLS ON HIS WAY. YES YES, MA'AM, WE THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM.

JUST DO THE NATURE OF THE GRANT THAT WE HAVE TO MANAGE. THE GRANT WILL HIRE AN OUTREACH WORKER THAT WILL BE HOUSED WITH OCEAN THAT WILL SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON PROVIDING GANG INTERVENTION TO THE DIRECT INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN VIOLENCE IN NEWBURGH. IT LOOKS BAND ARE VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION SITES, WHICH ARE SITES AROUND THE CITY THAT DO VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION AND MADE A GATE CONFLICT BETWEEN GROUPS. ADDING A FULL SIGHT TO THE NEWBURGH AREA, SO THAT WOULD BE A CONTRACT IT OUT SERVICE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO STEP A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE OF NEWBURGH AND WILL CONTRACT THE VIDEO A SPECIFICALLY TO PROVIDE CONFLICT MEDIATION TRAINING TO ALL OVER OUTREACH WORKERS ACROSS THE CITY , WHICH IS A TOTAL ABOUT 60 TO 65 OUTREACH WORKERS TO ENHANCE THEIR ABILITIES TO DO THEIR JOBS TO ME TO GET MADE MITIGATE CONFLICTS. FIRST YOU CAN SPEAK THANK YOU. AND YOU WEREN'T HERE. WHEN I SAID THIS. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I JUST THINK THAT WITH THE DISTINCTION FOR NEWBERG , I JUST DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THE TITLE OF THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU FOR COMING OVER HERE TO EXPLAIN IT.

TO ACCEPT $250,000 OF FUNDING FROM THE U. S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE THROUGH THE YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION GRANT PROGRAM TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE OFFICE FOR SAFE AND HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS. DO I HEARD MOTION MOTION. 2ND 2ND VINCENT. I DON'T HAVE PROPERLY MOVED BAD VICE CHAIR, THEN. FINE SECONDLY, BAD COUNCILWOMAN PARISH, RIGHT? ITEM IS BEFORE US. I BELIEVE PAUL CALLAGHAN IS HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS AS WELL. UH GO AHEAD. ALREADY STAYED YOUR NAME EVENING. PAUL COWAN, DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE OFFICE FOR SAFE AND HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS IS A SECOND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED AN AMOUNT OF $250,000 THROUGH THEIR OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION. THIS MONEY WILL BE UTILIZED TO DEVELOP SORT OF A NETWORK OF PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THAT SERVICE WHAT WE CONSIDER SECONDARY PREVENTION PROGRAMS. AND THOSE ARGUES THAT OR TYPICALLY BETWEEN THE AGES OF UNFORTUNATELY NOW, 10 TO ABOUT 1415 YEARS OLD, THEY'RE NOT ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN GUN

[00:35:02]

VIOLENCE, BUT THEIR LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION IS TOO HIGH FOR THEM TO BENEFIT FROM GENERAL PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THESE KIDS TYPICALLY WON'T GO TO A GENERAL PREVENTION PROGRAM. THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS ARE MORE ONE ON ONE MENTORING. SO WHAT THIS GRANT DOES IS DOES FUNDED FULL TIME COORDINATOR THAT WILL WORK WITH AGENCIES ACROSS THE CITY AND NONPROFITS ACROSS THE CITY. BUT THE FIRST STEP AND THAT THAT POSITION WILL BE HOUSED WITH OCEAN BUT WILL BE IDENTIFYING.

WHAT ARE THOSE AGENCIES THAT COULD SPECIALIZE WITH THIS POPULATION? AND THEN THE SECOND PART WILL BE LOOKING AT. HOW DO WE ENSURE SUSTAINABLE FUNDING TO THAT COMPONENT OF THE VIOLENCE REDUCTION FRAMEWORK FOR THE CITY, WHICH WOULD BE SECONDARY PREVENTION? COUNCILWOMAN PRESSURE RIGHT? CUTE AGAIN. I HAD NO QUESTIONS. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS, AND THERE ARE SOME MEANINGFUL PROGRAMS THAT ARE DOING GREAT WORK WITH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, AND IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU'LL HAVE A DEDICATED POSITION FOR THAT PERSON TO BE WORKING WITH THEM. I THINK THEY'RE SMALLER GROUPS ARE DOING MEANINGFUL WORK. THAT WILL DO JUST WHAT YOU SAID. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT JUST TO QUICKLY NOTE THAT THESE WERE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE GRANTS AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL. IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS ACROSS THE CITY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SUBMIT LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION SHOWN THAT THEY ARE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THE CITY AND THAT WE ARE UNITED ON BOTH OF THESE APPROACHES AND BOTH OF THESE GRANTS, SO ONLY WE EXCITED ABOUT IT. BUT ON BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR PARTNERS AS WELL, TOO. THEY DID A FINE JOB. I DON'T SEE ANY MORE SPEAKERS THAN THE Q. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? AND THIS IS A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A BOTH VOICE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY THAT I BOTH. THE RESOLUTION PASSES AND WILL BE MOVED TO LOOK AND THINK CALENDAR. THANK YOU. THANKS ADJOURNED. NO MORE ITEMS.
