4.A. - Page r 11�Fc <br />PENINSULA CONFLICT RESOLUTION CENTER <br />City has not posted or provided answers to those initial questions. I have followed up <br />with an emd to the address provided last night, but want to assure that this sentiment is <br />captured in your report <br />• The largest impact of Covid is in the Latinx community. If you need to get a test. It's two <br />weeks for essential workers. Look at the policy around tests and test results which would <br />need more money. Better communication because of misinformation about testing and <br />tracing people. Improve the education so a swab cannot be traced or is a painful <br />procedure. <br />• Defund the policy, taxing big corporations like FB, taxing for ABNB, securing housing <br />for all. Priority Housing for everyone. We could become a sanctuary city. Taxing the rich <br />for universal housing. Universal representation. <br />• Taking money from police to train mental health experts. To create jobs for the mental <br />health citizens. <br />• How the city responds to mental health without a badge or a gun. Or looks like the person <br />having the mental health problem. <br />• would not call the police because a human life could be lost. <br />• Reopen the library for shelter and students and beneficial in the community in the winter <br />and during Covad. <br />• some people want to use defending, or use other language to be heard in the community. <br />• In order for real change to occur for law enforcement and community legitimate truth and <br />reconciliation- it will take police to come to the table, and say "yes, we have screwed up <br />etc." and the system has been messed up and we want to work with you - i would love to <br />see that happen - i heard someone chief speak that BLM . <br />• Agree ^^^ we are trying to resolve a national problem on a local level - how can we be <br />leaders and not be followers - lead the dialogue <br />• Agree ^^ there's an opportunity for police to be a partner and build alternatives to <br />policing - you've heard "we aren't equipped" police can be a partner - not just take <br />money away and spending it support addressing problems - better for them - police not <br />leading that discussion but be a partner - they can choose <br />o They do know if they aren't equipped - why wouldn't they want to want to co - <br />lead that conversation- wondering why they aren't <br />o Experience working in law enforcement- it happens over- police are very <br />defensive - <br />• Appreciate what has been said- energy for the idea that RWC be at the forefront the <br />change <br />• We hope to hear them "we aren't social workers" and be a part of the system <br />• descope police; non -police response to noise complaints, mental health; redirect to better <br />trained and save money; defending police and reallocating to focus on crime prevention <br />• less interactions with the police, should be bare minimum, violent crime focus, as a <br />physician, don't see a role for police responding to mental health issues; fund <br />professionals to respond; no reason for an armed officer to respond to a noise complaint; <br />eliminate minor traffic violations that she feels are a pipeline to incarceration; police are <br />the armed enforcers of a racist system; may be good guys doing their job as best as they <br />can but in RWC interactions with the police aren't going to make our city better <br />• agree on descoping/defunding police; know it's contentious; don't expect police to <br />disappear overnight, focus on most basic functions, reduce amount of contact between <br />94 <br />
