Minutes from 6/12/14 meeting tabled. 2. Chiefs Update • Facilities — The process is ongoing and Public Safety, Police and Fire, is the top priority. • Staffing — at 73 commissioned officers hired. o Officer Donnelly is back from deployment o Four laterals in background, one is done except for the final testing. o Records, still one in background • Funding — The Mayor's staff looked at all initiatives and budget requests from all departments. All Dept. heads gave presentation and then each Dept. head got to pick top 5 picks. Out of the over 70 presentations, there were 8 top ones. Three of them were PD initiatives: additional budget for ammunition, a police recruiting specialist (half time) and public records assistant who would work in legal but 75% of work would be for PD records requests. • Strategic Plan — over the next few weeks it will go out to the department. This will be presented in a 11 minute video and a power point the Chief used. • Next meeting the Chief will bring copies of the strategic plan for COPCAB members. • Firearms trailer — was purchased through significant savings in the cost of replacing the jail transport van. 3. COPCAB Bylaws and Ordinance — Proposed ordinance changes distributed and discussed. Chris will send them to the City Attorney's Office for comment. 4. Good of the Order • Jun — his nephew is joining the Tukwila PD Explorers, he is attending his pre - joining meetings. • Chris — Citizens' Academy flyers handed out. Night Out Against Crime, COPCAB members are welcome to ride with the City teams. • Jerry — Attended Facilities Steering Committee, there were options for City Hall, Courts, PD and Fire Department. Jerry felt they spent a lot of time on the FD. He also noted that many of the plans were to have PD and Courts in a building of their own. Jerry wondered if Chief Villa had had equal time, because Acting Chief Flores was there to speak to the committee. 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, WA 98188 • Phone (206) 433 -1808 • Records Fax (206) 244 -6181 Invest.
