Recommendations for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Raman – Rodriguez – et al.):
- INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO), with the assistance of relevant City departments and external consultants, as needed, to report within 180 days with a multi-year transition plan to shift responsibility for nonviolent calls related to homelessness and emergency crisis response to unarmed, civilian personnel; and, pending the results of the study being conducted pursuant to Council file No. 20-0875, to implement alternative models and methods for traffic safety enforcement that do not rely on armed law enforcement to the extent deemed feasible. This plan should include a year-by-year expansion (and potential consolidation) plan for the pilots the City has already launched or is currently developing, the necessary budget allocations that should be reserved in the City’s budget for this purpose each fiscal year, and an analysis of whether and, if so, how all of these public safety services should eventually be brought under the purview of City departments rather than external providers.
- INSTRUCT the CAO to report to Council on a regular basis with adjustments and additions to the aforementioned multi-year transition plan, as needed, and with status reports on implementation.
