All members voted in favor. Motion passed. 2. Public Safety Committee Report regarding meeting held May 16, 2022. (to be provided) Chair Baker provided the following oral report: We had our Public Safety Committee today. We approved minutes of the last meeting. We heard both the mayor's communication dedicating the ARPA funds as well as the resolution dedicating the ARPA funds. Particularly as it relates to public safety, there was a request to use funds to hire four more police officers and we heard some commentary from Detective Herpka and Investigator Bunner from the Police Department, specifically representing the union, and heard some of the challenges they are having recruiting and bringing in new officers. This is a way to bring in officers now to potentially blunt some of the retirements later so we can have more resiliency within our police department and maintain coverage for things that make Lakewood Police different and exceptional in our community, including school resource officers, ward officers and the like. Also, Downtown Cleveland Alliance was here. Ed Eckert and Melissa Kreiger went through and explained the park ambassador program that sounds like they are using a couple ofdifferent models but creating a new one for Lakewood focusing on public safety and community building. Understanding that there will be staff dedicated for the three years and they will receive DEI training, de-escalation training, CIT training focused on public safety and community building. We had a lot of good testimony and discussion on that point. The communication was received and filed, and the resolution was recommended for adoption. Motion by President Litten, seconded by Vice President Kepple to receive and file the oral report. Discussion: Councilmember Rader asked how community feedback will be incorporated into the program's development, noting that community groups will want input into the program. Mayor George responded that that will be considered and is being planned for. On the motion: All members voted in favor. Motion passed. 3.
