• Appreciate Chief Skinner for bringing specifics about how additional officers will be <br />deployed. Having that tactical information helps council explain to constituents what <br />direction the police department is going. <br />• Very supportive of additional 9-1-1 call takers; the plan recognizes that with inadequate <br />staffing levels, employees get burned out which creates vacancies and then more burnout. <br />• In situations where there may not be a need or capacity for a sworn officer to respond to <br />reports of burglaries or crimes not in -progress, there should be a customer service oriented <br />response at a minimum. <br />• Appreciate the participation from police union leadership in being a part of this solution. <br />• Reminder that there will also be expenses associated with the upcoming shelter asks <br />• Hopeful that there will be robust attention given to the communication center because they <br />need help. <br />MOTION: Councilor Clark, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to direct the City <br />Manager to include in proposed Supplemental Budget #1 the $8.6 million <br />bridge strategy and to immediately begin work on long-term funding strategies to <br />be completed prior to February 1, 2019. <br />Council Discussion <br />• Thank you to the City Manager for hiring the new police chief, have heard many accolades <br />from the community. <br />• This is exciting work and gives us hope for change. <br />• Questions asked about the process and timeline for the community safety process team. <br />VOTE: PASSED 6:0 <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:10 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Elena Domingo <br />Deputy City Recorder <br />Link to the webcast of this City Council meeting: here. <br />MINUTES — Eugene City Council September 26, 2018 Page 2 <br />Work Session <br />
