B. Public Safety Funds Prioritization
Staff Liaison Williams shared that the Data Consultant, Data Dashboard, and Appropriate response are still
moving forward in the conversation for public safety funds.
C. ListeningSessionUpdates
Commissioner Glass shared that the PEACE Listening session will be Jan 10th at FAIR School in Crystal from
6-730pm. Glass shared that PEACE needs to decide if police officers should be present. Glass proposed that
we have 3 listening sessions. One for community, another for police, and the other for both. Commissioner
Crosby asked for clarity about what PD leadership wants with this listening session. Williams shared that
police are ok with coming without uniform if they are coming as community members, but if they are
asked to speak from a point of leadership in police, then they would rather wear their uniforms. Crosby
shared that we should be welcoming and inclusive of all identities that make up out community. Chair
Gladney shared that he appreciates the PD leadership’s perspective. Commissioner Cisneros shared that
we need to focus more on purpose and that if the focus is to build a relationship between community and
police then we need to ensure both are present, but if the focus is to hear from communities that haven’t
historically been at the table, then we need to center that. Chair Gladney asked PEACE if they would be ok
with officers showing up without uniform. Commissioners spoke in favor of hearing community for the first
listening session and for the next focusing on police officer voices.
D. Support Logging
Chair Gladney shared that PEACE has been supportive and collaborative in much of the city’s work.
Gladney proposed that commissioners log the activities PEACE has participated in. Cisneros added that
PEACE has supportive of many projects and initiatives that aren’t in their workplan.
E. SubcommitteeUpdate
Commissioner Cisneros shared the update on behalf of the Hiring and Retention subcommittee. Cisneros
added that PEACE will be collaborating with PD to review and ideally improve a grading rubric for hiring
and interviews.
F. Roslyn Harmon Resignation
Chair Gladney shared his appreciation for Vice Chair Harmon’s service. Harmon expressed appreciation for
PEACE Commission and shared the details of her swearing in as Mayor of Golden Valley. Commissioners
expressed their gratitude and aspirations for success in Harmon’s new role.
