DISCUSSIONS a. Receive and discuss a presentation from the Baytown Police Strategic Planning Advisory Committee on the Baytown Police Strategic Plan. City Manager Davis recalled the time —approximately a year and a half ago —he provided Council with a four -point plan to build trust between the City's citizens and their Police Department. He had recently sent Council citizen survey scores that indicated movement in a positive direction. Mr. Davis recognized this was due to the establishment of the Baytown Police Advisory Committee and the exercise of community listening that culminated a strategic plan. That plan was delivered to the Police Chief and lie began to form teams to address each of the tenants of that plan. City Manager Davis wanted to acknowledge some of individuals that participated in this exercise, he listed the following: • Ms. Lakesha Holmes • Mr. Bill Nelson • Ms. Aracely Auzenne • Mr. Derrick Wade • Assistant Chief Richard Whitaker • Mr. Brian Moran • Officer Aaron Crowell • Mr. Mackie Smith • Mr. Preet Singh • Ms. Kim Milstead The City Manager then turned over the floor to Committee Member Aracely Auzenne. Ms. Auzenne presented to Council the strategic planning process and noted that the plan had taken approximately a year to complete. The Committee began this undertaking in August of 2020. The four phases of the plan included: the launch process that took approximately three months; the data gathering phase that took about four months; the analysis phase that was about two months; and the composition phase that also took about two months. The Baytown Police Strategic Planning Committee's mission statement was to partner and engage with community members and organizations to create a plan to address local challenges in order to build trust and mutual respect between the community and the Baytown Police Department. She explained they would accomplish that by a series of data -gathering exercises and community involvement. Next, Ms. Auzenne exhibited their Community Outreach Campaign that took place during the months of February, March, and April. The Community Engagement Activities included 12 focus groups in 3 public workshops. The focus group meetings were with Committee identified stakeholders across Baytown. They also canvassed a survey through a third party for accurate representation of the community. The Committee additionally utilized the Baytown Engage website as a resource to share interviews they conducted with serval community leaders —such as Pastor Montgomery, who chairs the Baytown Police Advisory Committee. They also closely worked with the City's Public Affairs Department to promote a media campaign. Ms. Auzenne proceeded to list some of the organizations that participated in their focus groups, she listed the following: • The West Baytown Civic Association • The ACE District • Goose Creek Consolidated School District • Glen Meadows HOA • Linwood Neighborhood Watch • The Juneteenth Celebration Committee • Top Ladies of Distinction • Local pastors and leaders • Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church • The Kiwanis Club • Baytown Police Department The findings the Committee discovered, as relayed by Ms. Auzenne, were broken down into perceived strength and areas of improvement. The feedback of the citizens were as followed: PERCEIVED STRENGTHS • Community Involvement — residents voiced support of the investments and community engagement that the Police Department had made. A few specific engagements listed were: Coffee with A Cop, D.A.R.E, Blue Santa, and Pop-up Park. • Implementation of Body Cameras — the community called attention to the body cameras for patrol officers. Araceli noted that the police department conducts random audits of body -cam footage to review officer behavior and assure quality services from its officers. PERCEIVED AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT • Youth Engagement — residents desired more targeted outreach to the youth of Baytown. A specific piece of feedback was elementary school kids have positive interactions with police through D.A.R.E., but have little to no interaction with police in junior high. Upon attending high school, students feel suspicious of police which is a 180-degree shift from their experience with police just four years prior. • Expanded Training — residents felt additional trainings were needed in specific areas, such as: de-escalation; mental health; and racial biases. Araceli stated these trainings were viewed as central aspects in addressing areas of improvement. Committee Member Auzenne noted that four directives became increasingly visible as the Committee interpreted the data and feedback received by the community. STRATEGIC DIRECTIVES • Foster Community Relationships — the top trend that emerged from residents was the desire for more community engagement and positive interactions with police. Certain groups shared that the Police Chief and other leaders should regularly meet with stakeholders across the community, including: local non -profits; religious leaders; and particularly Black and Hispanic communities. • Mental Health — residents and officers alike voiced serval ideas to better equip officers to respond to mental health calls, such as: additional training and hiring mental health experts/social workers to assist officers —or even training the city's paramedics —to respond to mental health calls. • Community Policing — this was a specific directive recommended by residents. An officer patrols the same area for some time and develops a partnership with citizens to identify and solve problems. This includes officers interacting with citizens and recruiting residents to serve on the police force that reflect the ethnic diversity of the community of Baytown — particularly Black and Hispanic communities. City Council Special Meeting Minutes November 15, 2021 Page 9 of 23 • Accountability and Transparency — transparency includes more proactive communication with those who submit complaints or witness an incident and inform them on the next steps taken in the disciplinary review process. It could additionally include educating the public on the adoption of new polices and utilizing social media. Proceeding the directives, Ms. Auzenne began to list key initiatives for each directive. KEY INITIATIVES Community Partnerships (AKA `Foster Community Relationships") • Continue to utilize The Citizen Academy, D.A.R.E, and other programs. • Enhance collaboration and communication between GCCISD Police and the Baytown Police Department. • Explore incentives for officers to attend community events and review the scheduling of on -duty assignments to give more officers the opportunity to interact more with residents. • Partner with community organizations to offer citizen safety workshops and other trainings. • Continue to leverage the Strategic Planning Advisory Committee to connect residents with law enforcement. • Enlist community influencers to help instill information, and also conduct regular meetings between police leadership, community partners, and stakeholders. • Continue to work with social service providers to develop a coordinated intake for unique responses, such as: domestic violence; homelessness; and other sensitive topics. Mental Health • Adjust the Baytown Police Department's health insurance plan to include additional mental health resources and pursue additional resources for the health of officers and first responders. • Train and enlist mental health experts to assist officers with related calls. • Launch and implement a program that uses technology to connect officers with mental health clinicians. • Continue and expand training to patrol officers on responding to mental health related calls. • Implementing flagging systems for officers to be made aware of mental health cases and refine criteria/procedure for identifying residents who deal with mental health challenges. • Explore coordinated intake options for mental health assessments and possibly designate community partners. The next portion of key initiatives were discussed by Officer Aaron Crowell. Community Oriented Police Force (AKA "Community Policing") • Explore additional policies and incentives for the police force to live in Baytown. • Invest in messaging and recruitment efforts of local citizens. • Continue to recruit applicants that reflect the diverse communities of Baytown. • Implement policies and plans for officers to be out of patrol cars in appropriate situations — particularly through biking and four -wheelers. • Coordinate with GCCISD on youth engagement tactics particularly from middle and high school students, and evaluate possible youth engagement programs for the summer months. City Council Special Meeting Minutes November 15, 2021 Page 10 of 23 • Increase outreach initiatives with communities of all demographic backgrounds. • Target Spanish-speaking communities with bilingual trainings. • Continue and expand the Coffee with A Cop program into different locations and formats. • Continue to emphasize community policing principles in BPD culture, and enhance those principles into the field training program. Accountability and Transparency • Conduct internal policy reviews to identify areas for improved transparency and communication. • Publish additional department policies online to make them publicly available. • Continue to provide cultural sensitivity, bias, de-escalation, and other specialty trainings to officers and inform the public on specialty training that officers do receive. • In coordination with the Police Association and legal practices, adopt proactive public communication policies for officer -related incidents. • Conduct periodic check -ins with the community to solicit feedback in additional areas of improvement. • Provide education tools to officers and residents alike on historical implications of policing. • Continue to give regular reports to the City Council and community on safety updates in Baytown. Ms. Kim Milstead with the Department of Justice then stepped up to give Council the status of their next steps. The first step being the implementation of the plan. The following step was the presentations to others, and she explained that the Committee has already made presentations to the City Manager, the Chief of Police, and there is a scheduled presentation for the Baytown Police Advisory Committee. Lastly, the final step was the creation of a scorecard and website. She stated that currently city staff are developing a dashboard that would allow the community to track the progress of the plans in the implementation stage. Ms. Milstead then gave Council the Committee's recommendations which were as followed: RECOMMENDATIONS • Establish and review outcome measures associated with the strategic plan directives. • Make adjustments as needed to ensure there are correlations between the outcome measures and the plan directives. • Utilize the plan as a basis for the annual planning and goal setting for the police department. The plan should serve as a basis for the Police Department's recommended programs for funding and as a focus of discussion of priority from year to year. • Assign responsibility for implementing the action plans and enlist other entities and government agencies that should be involved. • The Strategic Planning Advisory Committee would conduct an annual meeting to review the progress of the strategic plan with city staff and police leadership. • School cards to be updated at a minimum of a quarterly basis. With that being the end of the presentation, Mayor Capetillo opened the floor to questions regarding the Baytown Police Strategic Planning Advisory Committee. Mayor Pro Tem Alvarado had no question but commented she had reviewed this prior and expressed that it looked great and City Council Special Meeting Minutes November 15, 2021 Page 11 of 23 appreciated all the work that was put into it.

When Council set the current year budget, Director Brownlees explained they had established a S 10 million surplus would go into the Capital Improvement Fund. That being why Council did not have to borrow money to fund their Capital Improvement Plan in the current year. Director Brownlees commented that overall it was an extremely good year in terms of revenue, and expenditures kept well within the budget. Next, Director Brownlees spoke on the Aquatics Fund. The year prior was dire due to the effects of the pandemic and this year the weather was an issue; nevertheless, the fund was in surplus and has begun to contribute back to the general fund for the loan that it received last year. Director Brownlees commended the aquatics crew on their good year. For the Hotel/Motel Fund, Director Brownlees stated revenues have been "incredibly robust."

Taking the Utility Funds together, Director Brownlees stated they ended where they had anticipated which is why they were able to freeze the utility rate for yet another year. On the Street Maintenance Fund, sales tax has been "ludicrously robust" throughout the pandemic. He explained they have a healthy balance which they intend to spend over the coming year.

He specified one of the major contributions over that cash balance was the Hotel and Convention Center. Director Brownlees also noted over the last couple of quarters they have been more liquid, so more funds have been kept in the pool. Over the next coming quarters, the balance will start shifting back as they become slightly less liquid moving more towards investment to the commercial as the "rich" have become more advantageous than they have in the first part of this calendar year.

City Council Special Meeting Minutes November 15, 2021 Page 23 of 23 10. MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Davis recognized firefighters Lieutenant Tracy Lindsay, Erin McNeil, Anthony Robledo, and Chris Taylor who rescued abandoned kittens from an attic. They were lost in the rafters and made a great deal of noise. The citizen —unsure who to call —called 911 and the firefighters came out, rescued the kittens, stopped the meowing, and made an 86-year-old citizen very happy. The daughter of that gentleman called in and an article appeared in the Baytown Sun complementing the firefighters. The Mayor commented they could not script a better firefighter story than rescuing kittens out of an attic. City Manager Davis also recognized Multimedia Specialist Lloyd Lively who was awarded by the Texas Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (TOA). Baytown won first place in the Shoebox Parade video and second in the 2020 Back to the Future State of the City video. Baytown also earned honorable mentions for Stranger Danger in a Digital World, Memorial Day: Tax and Use Tax, and Shoebox Parade. The City Manager further commended Multimedia Specialist Lively. Mayor Capetillo then took the opportunity to comment that they were able to break ground on their Public Safety Administration Building that day. He stated this much -needed facility for their Police and Fire would put the City of Baytown in the 2151 century, and they look forward to a ribbon - cutting soon. 11. ADJOURN With there being no further business to discuss, Mayor Capetillo adjourned the November 15, 2021, City Council Special Meeting at 7:42 P.M. t ©rv�rr�vt.k Angela Jack?on, City Clerk City of Baytown ^ it
