Narcan, a drug that can counteract the effects of an opioid overdose, was previously only available as an IV, and thus could only be administered by someone with a paramedic certification. However, there is now a Narcan formula that can be administered nasally which allows anyone with an EMT-B certification to administer the medication. All firefighters have an EMT-B certification, which allows for Narcan to be carried on all fire apparatus. Implementation will begin in January 2017. There is minimal training required and no contraindications for administering the medication in a non-opioid overdose. The committee inquired if the medication could be kept within temperature specifications on the fire apparatus, which Stewart advised it could. They also inquired if the police officers would be carrying Narcan. Rizzi advised they would not at this time. Because the fire and ambulance services have the medication, the police department has not been put in a position where officers were the first responders who would need to administer the medication. Due to the cost of the medication and the inability to guarantee it stays in the temperature specifications in the take home vehicles, police officers will not carry it at this time. This policy will be reviewed if there in an increase in overdoses. Rizzi further advised that his discussions with the DEA task force sergeant indicates that the region is continuing to see a larger problem with methamphetamine than with fentanyl. Coffey inquired if the issue should be forwarded to the full council. Mendez advised it did not need to go to the full council at this time, however the committee would continue to monitor the issue.  Crime Statistics report Rizzi provided the committee with a crime statistics report. Over the past 30 years, there has been an overall decrease in crime, with periodic anomalies such as 2015 where there is a small spike. Crime has continued to decrease in 2016 and it is expected the downward trend will continue in 2017. Rizzi also explained the two main types of crime reporting: Uniformed Crime Report (UCR), which only counts the highest crime committed in an incident, and National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS), which counts all crime associated in an incident. Mendez noted that there was no breakout line for Washington state crime statistics. Brown indicated that the crime trends statewide have been consistent with what we have experienced in Yakima. Rizzi discussed domestic violence rates. He noted that domestic violence is not isolated to any demographic. The data does not indicate if domestic violence is being reported at a higher level or if it is occurring at high levels, but the domestic violence rates are a disturbing trend. He recommended promoting non-violence in households. Mendez requested that representatives from the YWCA and any other domestic violence service providers be invited to the next meeting to be included in the discussion of how to address domestic violence. Gutierrez also requested that Legal staff bring information from other cities of policies and options they have implemented to combat domestic violence. Goosman discussed the YWCA victim advocate services. Moore advised some communities are trying aggression replacement therapy for juveniles.  Proposed Update to YMC 11.10 Neighborhood Conservation/10.05 Fire Debris Watkins presented proposed revisions to the neighborhood conservation ordinance, which has not been comprehensively updated since 2001. The purpose of the revision is to improve how liens are imposed on properties. YMC 10.05 lacks enforcement languages. Watkins advised this could be address on the council’s time table. The current ordinance is workable until this item can be placed on the council’s full agenda. It was MOVED by Gutierrez and SECONDED by Coffey to forward to the full council. Motion PASSED unanimously. Moore inquired if there was an abatement fund, which Caruso advised there was.  Proposed Update to YMC 6.45.015 Disclosing Intimate Images Goosman advised the proposed revision to the municipal code to adopt the RCW regarding disclosing intimate images without consent of the subject of the image. It was MOVED by Gutierrez and SECONDED by Coffey to move the issue on to the full council. Motion PASSED unanimously.  YPAL Contract Deliverables The issue of proposed YPAL contract deliverables was opened for discussion to determine the issue the committee members wanted to prioritize for the upcoming YPAL contract. The agreement presented had “housekeeping” changes made but no changes or additions had been made to the contract deliverables. After some discussion, it was decided that the issue should be discussed at a separate meeting. Some of the items for future discussion would be: space within the Washington Fruit Community Center for additional organizations; providing classes in parenting, classes for senior citizens, gang diversion, domestic violence programs, etc.; increasing the operating hours of the center; finding partners and contributors. The goal of the contract would be to make the WFCC a center for the entire neighborhood and to make YPAL sustainable by establishing partnerships with other providers. Additional information for the discussion that would be helpful would be the portfolio of services provided by the SECC, OJJDP programs, and information on the student population of the surrounding schools. A special meeting will be scheduled as soon as possible for this discussion. Old Business  Update on options for 3 intersections with highest collisions Sheffield provided an updated report on options to address the intersections at 16th Avenue/Chestnut, 40th Avenue/Chestnut, and Lincoln/Custer. The recommendation for 16th/Chestnut and 40th/Chestnut would be to install median curbing to make the intersections right in/right out only. The cost would be $17,500 per intersection. The recommendation for Lincoln/Custer is to restripe the Lincoln from 4 lanes to 3 lanes and include bike lanes. The cost for restriping would be $75,000, as the current striping must be ground down and the roadway resurfaced. It was MOVED by Gutierrez to send the item to the full council for discussion of how to fund the project. The motion died for lack of a second. Coffey inquired what type of accidents were occurring at these intersections. Sheffield advised they were fairly damaging with about half experiencing some injury. Mendez requested information on accidents for the past 1-2 years to further prioritize and determine funding.  Approval of minutes It was MOVED by Gutierrez and SECONDED by Coffey to approve the minutes of September 29, 2016 as presented. Motion PASSED unanimously. Good of the order: Mendez inquired why Wilson Middle School was listed as a priority school for YPAL. Shoenbach advised he would have to discuss with YPAL staff how that determination was made. It was MOVED by Coffey and SECONDED by Gutierrez to adjourn to the December 1, 2016 meeting. Motion PASSED unanimously. Approved: CITY OF YAKIMA LEGAL DEPARTMENT 200 South Third Street, Yakima, Washington 98901 (509)575-6030 Fax: (509)575-6160 M E M O R A N D U M November 22, 2016 TO: Carmen Mendez, Public Safety Committee Chair Dulce Gutiérrez, Public Safety Committee Kathy Coffey, Public Safety Committee FROM: Cynthia Martinez, Senior Assistant City Attorney SUBJECT: Domestic Violence Washington State law defines domestic violence (DV) offenses as virtually any criminal act committed by one "family or household member" against another. Family or household member is a term of art that includes former and present dating relationships, child in common relationships, and roommates. RCW 10.99.020 (3) "Family or household members" means spouses, former spouses, persons who have a child in common regardless of whether they have been married or have lived together at any time, adult persons related by blood or marriage, adult persons who are presently residing together or who have resided together in the past, persons sixteen years of age or older who are presently residing together or who have resided together in the past and who have or have had a dating relationship, persons sixteen years of age or older with whom a person sixteen years of age or older has or has had a dating relationship, and persons who have a biological or legal parent-child relationship, including stepparents and stepchildren and grandparents and grandchildren. Yakima Police Response: The City of Yakima does have a higher incident of response calls for Domestic Violence than other similarly sized jurisdictions around the state. In 2015, Federal Way had 865 Domestic Violence incidents and Renton 542 to Yakima’s 1,993. While Domestic violence is found in all socio-economic groups, like any other crime, poverty does play a role. Crimes of Domestic Violence are investigated by the YPD Special Assault Unit with specialized training in Domestic Violence and sexual assault. The City of Yakima Police Department recently completed training on the County Wide Domestic Violence Protocol. The DV Protocol is a uniform County wide approach to domestic violence investigations which was adopted by every law enforcement Memorandum to Public Safety Committee November 23, 2016 Page 2 jurisdiction in Yakima County. The protocol is not much different from the former YPD investigation method. There is a new form packet (see attached) designed to elicit the information needed for the officer to prepare a lethality assessment. The lethality assessment will be used to assess the future risk to the victim and will be used by the Courts, Prosecutor and DV Service Providers. City of Yakima Prosecution of DV crimes: The City of Yakima Prosecution Division handles all misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor Domestic Violence crimes. Which are typically Assault, Harassment, Malicious Mischief and Violation of Protective order crimes. In 2015 we filed 1,412 domestic violence crimes and January through October of this year we have filed 1,280. This constitutes about 44% percent of our total caseload. Although it is a priority, the prosecutors do not receive as much training in Domestic Violence as they should. Unfortunately, there are no training opportunities for Domestic Violence on this side of the state which means travel costs on top of registration fees to receive training. Our charging deputy evaluates cases for initial viability. This year we have declined about 249 cases or roughly 20%. This is an acceptable rate of declinations. We do see a fair amount of repeat offenders. Domestic violence cases are the most time intensive cases the prosecutors handle because the stakes are high for the defendant. A Domestic violence conviction can severely limit job opportunities, affect immigration status, affect child custody rights and eliminate gun ownership rights. The Prosecutors attempt to contact every alleged victim of domestic violence at the earliest stage of the case. We are only limited by no telephone numbers or disconnected telephone numbers. We send letters to the alleged victims after the initial court appearance advising them of what happened in court, informing them of future court dates and providing a copy of the No Contact Order issued by the Judge. Our office schedules weekly meetings with alleged victims who request to meet with the prosecutor. The City of Yakima receives an advocacy grant that we pass through to the Yakima YWCA for services. A Yakima YWCA advocate is also present at our meetings with alleged victims to provide outreach and educate about services that are available. We have had women go straight from the meeting to the shelter. The YWCA advocates also offers to attend the trial with an alleged victim. The prosecutor’s settlement offers typically include jail and treatment. We do not recommend alternative jail sanctions for crimes of Domestic violence. For low level offenders we do offer stipulated Order of Continuances, which is a more involved diversion in which the defendants stipulate to the facts and waive their rights to a jury Memorandum to Public Safety Committee November 23, 2016 Page 3 trial and speedy trial in exchange for an opportunity to have their case dismissed after completion of conditions. We do request that defendants complete a Domestic Violence Perpetrator Treatment Program, however the program is very expensive and unlike alcohol and drug treatment, it is not covered by insurance. The year-long DV Perpetrators treatment program runs about $1,400. As a result, very few defendants complete DV Perpetrator Treatment. Studies have shown that the program does reduce incidents of future Domestic Violence. Another issue is that half the time alcohol and drug abuse are also indicated by the perpetrator and domestic violence treatment providers prefer that defendants take care of those treatment issues first. The Court must also consider a defendant’s ability to pay for treatment when considering sentencing recommendations. Our prosecution efforts are often frustrated by uncooperative victims. In the past, prosecutors would proceed without the cooperation of the victim by using excited utterance statements at trial. However, the Crawford line of cases have greatly narrowed the use of excited utterances. Now excited utterances are basically the initial statements made by a victim to get immediate help and relief. Once an officer starts asking questions, the statements are no longer excited utterances. We are currently exploring ways to use information gathered during the new DV protocol procedure to prosecute cases without the cooperation of the victim. Yakima County Prosecutor Approach: The Yakima County Prosecutor handles juvenile and felony domestic violence allegations. Any City felony level Domestic Violence charges that are declined are often referred to the City Prosecution Unit for charging decisions. The Special Assault Unit handles the felony level prosecutions and work closely with the Special Assault Detectives. Domestic Violence is an aggravator in felony cases which means, depending on the facts proven, the available jail time can be increased. Yakima County also has Victim Witness Unit and investigators to locate and communicate with victims regarding the status of the case and services available to the victim. The Municipal Court: The Municipal Court has additional powers and tools in domestic violence cases. They can issue a No Contact Order and order the defendant to surrender weapons. Our court does issue No Contact Orders in most Domestic Violence cases at the defendant’s initial court appearance. The Prosecutor will not recommend that an Order be cancelled unless they have talked personally with the victim and they wish the Order to be cancelled and the Prosecutor feels that canceling the Order will not put the victim in danger. Memorandum to Public Safety Committee November 23, 2016 Page 4 Other approaches: In other cities around the state and country, there are police units dedicated to responding to Domestic Violence calls, Domestic Violence Prosecution Units to handle Domestic Violence cases, in-house Domestic Violence advocates, and/or Domestic Violence Courts. Each of these approaches ensures that a highly trained officer, prosecutor and/or Judge is interacting with the parties. See attached exhibits. I formerly worked for the City of Tacoma that had both a Domestic Violence police unit and a Domestic Violence prosecution unit with in house DV Victim Advocates. DV advocates were essential for that office at least at that time because the caseload was so high that prosecutors had no time to work their cases. The DV Advocates were able to establish a rapport with the victims in some of the cases and did help with cooperation level in some respects. However, overall, we experience many of the same challenges with victim cooperation in the City of Yakima that I experienced in the City of Tacoma. Legislative Options: Washington State has occupied the field on Domestic Violence laws and the maximum sentencing associated with crimes that are often associated with Domestic Violence. Which means only the State can set maximum penalties, but cities are not foreclosed from setting a minimum sentence structure for Domestic Violence crimes. The City of Yakima has adopted all state codes concerning domestic violence. Some cities have criminalized other acts that arise in the domestic violence situations. (see attached) The City of Federal Way adopted crimes for committing a Domestic Violence crime in front of a child and a misdemeanor level strangulation crime (the state has a felony counterpart). I am not recommending either of these measures at this time. Education, Awareness and Prevention Campaigns: The City of Yakima relies on the campaigns and efforts of the YWCA. They will be at the meeting to talk about these efforts. Randy Beehler indicates that he is not aware of any such campaign spots appearing on YPAC, but he says the City may be able to participate in a future campaign.

SunComm Dispatch Service Contract – Interlocal Agreement \\Pd2k6\Users\tcroft\A-C\Council Public Safety Committee\2016\12-1-16\Agree INTERLOCAL SunComm Dispatch Contract Draft Clean BDC 081016.docx \\Pd2k6\Users\tcroft\A-C\Council Public Safety Committee\2016\12-1-16\Agree INTERLOCAL SunComm Dispatch Contract Draft Clean BDC 081016.docx 11/22/2016 3 of 9 In the event that the method of response to alarm calls is significantly altered, such as tiered emergency medical response, the parties agree that this agreement shall be opened to reconsider the Cost of Service formula set forth in Section 5 below to address the new conditions of dispatching alarm calls. 5. Cost of Service. Yakima shall maintain a record of each Public Agency’s alarm calls and each Public Agency shall be assessed a fee for service by Yakima for each call as stated herein. The base cost per dispatched call for the contract period shall be the cost per dispatch retrieved from the CAD Managerial Information System (MIS) for the proceeding calendar year. For the first year of this Agreement, the cost of service based on the YRXXXX calls shall be $__________ per dispatch. The cost per dispatch for each subsequent year of the contract shall be increased effective January 1 of each year for the contract term. The increase shall be calculated by adding the previous contract amount per dispatch, plus the average of the CPI and CPI-W. In addition, the E911 board and or the city can request an additional fee approved through a meeting of the user agencies to increase the cost per dispatch based on needs of SunComm.

See Figure 1.  Install median curbing along 16th Avenue in the vicinity of 16th Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, thereby limiting the movements at Chestnut Avenue to right in, right out only (at an estimated cost of $17,500). See Figure 2.  Re-stripe Lincoln Avenue to a 3-lane roadway, with bike lanes, from Lewis Avenue to 6th Avenue in an effort to reduce the number of accidents at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Custer Avenue (at an estimated cost of $75,000). See Figure 3. Deputy Mayor Méndez requested that we provide the number of accidents that have occurred at these intersections within the last two years. The results are as follows:  40th Avenue and Chestnut Avenue: Within the past two years, there have been 10 accidents, with four (4) of the accidents resulting in injuries.
