Pohlad Foundation Reimagining Public Safety Program: Reducing Harm through Collaborative Solutions Grant Agreement Prepared By City Administration and Police Department Command Staff Summary In 2021, the City applied for and received a Reimagining Public Safety Grant from the Pohlad Foundation. The grant sought proposals from governments in the seven-county metro to achieve three goals: 1. Innovate and transform traditional approaches to public safety. 2. Reduce the occurrence and severity of negative encounters between law enforcement and the community. 3. Actively confront racial disparities and history of racism to improve safety, trust and greater wellbeing among Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC). The grant required proposals to include joint efforts among elected leaders, staff, law enforcement, residents and community-based organizations, including BIPOC-led organizations and people impacted by justice systems or who have faced injustice by law enforcement. The Pohlad funding priorities the City targeted in its application include: • Efforts that incorporate trauma, healing and restorative approaches. This can include addressing immediate needs following a critical incident or restorative approaches that lead to improved trust and repairing harm from past trauma. • Adoption or expansion of co-responder, community responder or similar models that reduce escalating encounters with law enforcement. The model adopted should improve outcomes with BIPOC communities; individuals with developmental, physical, intellectual disabilities; individuals experiencing a mental health crisis; and transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. • Strategies that offer a range of response options for how calls to 911 are categorized and dispatched (i.e., differential responses and dispatch to ensure the optimal resources are responding to specific safety needs, such as mental health, homeless outreach and youth intervention workers, amongst other community responders). Council Work Session Executive Summary City of Golden Valley February 8, 2022 2 • Workforce recruitment, training and skill development specific to efforts that increase racial diversity and foster an anti-racist work culture. • Practices that increase transparency and accountability (public information-sharing practices, improved relations with public safety officials, early intervention systems to detect potential problems with officers’ behavior, civilian review boards). • Efforts that include solutions and resources from within the local community that promote public safety and broader wellbeing. The City was awarded $250,000 by the foundation and staff has been working since October 2021 to finalize the grant agreement. Staff in the City Manager’s Office and the Police Department are working together to create a refined list of activities that are consistent with: (1) the requirements of the RFP; (2) the spirit of the City’s grant application; and (3) the Police Department’s internal goals and learning progression. As currently contemplated, the grant contains activities that fall under six categories. The categories are: 1. Officer Training and Development 2. Community Partners to Address Disproportionality 3. Education and Certifications for CSO II 4. Community Partners to Co-Create Community Call Response Model 5. Equity Policy Audit 6. Public Data Dashboard Below is a brief description of each category and the sub-activities associated with each category. Also included are the anticipated outcomes for each set of activities and the reason each particular category/activity is included in the work. The attached Pohlad Family Foundation Grant Agreement contains additional detail regarding the categories and sub-activities (See Exhibit A). Because the activities listed below are different than those listed in the application previously approved by the City Council, staff would like Council’s feedback on the updated activity list. Finally, the projected timeline is not yet determined. Some of the activities have already begun, for example, hiring the Community Connection and Outreach Specialist, researching data dashboard options, preparing for the policy audit, and providing DEI training for Police Department employees. Others are scheduled to begin in the short term, while others should not begin until foundational work is complete. The staff grant team will work with Police Department staff and community groups to determine the appropriate timing of each activity. All grant funds must be used within two years.

Prosecution Professional Services Agreement Prepared By Maria Cisneros, City Attorney Summary The City of Golden Valley contracts with a private law firm for prosecution services. The City has worked with the same group of attorneys since 1987.1 The current prosecution contract was last renewed in September 2018 and expires on December 31, 2022. Staff seeks direction from Council regarding whether to seek competitive proposals for prosecution services. State law does not require competitive bidding for professional services; however, over the last several years the City has begun requiring all departments to run professional service agreements through the contract review and competitive bidding process. Requiring a competitive process is a best practice for contract management, especially for larger contracts like this one. It also aligns with the City’s Equity Plan and the Rising Tides Task Force recommendations, which call for reviewing contracts and requiring requests for proposal (RFP) at regular intervals to eliminate biases and potential procurement barriers. The bidding process for professional services is a competitive RFP process and includes comprehensive proposal evaluation, and legal and equity review. It requires staff to develop selection criteria, prepare a request for proposals, assemble a review team, evaluate responses, interview candidates, and negotiate an agreement. Examples of other professional services that go through this process include engineering services, architectural services, financial services, cleaning services, recycling services, and Parks and Recreation independent contractor services. If Council wishes to proceed with a competitive process, staff recommends beginning work in Q2. Although the current contract does not expire until December, a competitive bidding process would require input from several stakeholder groups, including the community, the PEACE Commission, and the Police Department. Beginning in Q2 would allow sufficient time to include stakeholders in all steps of the process.
