from Strategic Research Institute provided a community justice update including an overview of
the timeline, survey results, and request for Council input.
Council Discussion
• Clarification requested about who made the survey calls and how the surveys are
conducted.
• It would be helpful if the answers and information collected could be broken down by ward.
• Important to be able to use data to show how the city is addressing different neighborhood
issues in different areas.
• Clarify if there is a different standard about what "safe" is in different parts of the community.
• Suggest having a conversation about a funding source that is both adequate and stable.
• Concerns expressed that there is a lack of civic awareness around who has jurisdictional
responsibilities for addressing different issues related to homelessness.
• Information requested about whether there was any sense of community -wide
recommendations about how community leaders should be supporting the police
department.
• Consider efficacy of using more online surveys.
• Concern expressed about lack of locations on the outreach schedule to gather information
from people in wards 4 and 5.
The meeting adjourned at 1:14 p.m.
