Legal Martinez reported to the committee that training was scheduled for the following day with city legal staff with David Soukup of the Yakima County Prosecutor's Office. The training will cover victimless prosecution and a victim's awareness class presented by the YWCA. She added that two prosecutors are scheduled to attend the domestic violence symposium in Seattle this year. Martinez explained the origins and purpose of the domestic violence protocol forms. She advised that about 50% of the intimate partner domestic violence cases have protocol forms completed, which is a good start. Martinez reported on domestic violence training she attended the previous week. She is looking forward to sharing the information and implementing some of the suggestions. Martinez updated the committee on HB1022 regarding requests for U and T visa certifications. The law went into effect in July 2018 and requires community outreach and information on who handles the certification requests. The information will be shared on the police department and legal department's web pages, and possibly on the city's web page. The committee requested a continuing discussion at the August meeting to discuss the articles handed out at the meeting.

Dominic Rizzi, Chief of Police City of Yakima PoliceD. �� Dominic Rizzi Jr, Chief of Police 200S.3 d Street Yakima, Washington 98901 Telephone (509) 575-6200 Fax (509) 575-6007 afflff MWI-M, August 15, 2018 To: Public Safety Committee From: Lieutenant Chad Stephens Patrol Watch Commander Subject: Parking Problems Over the last few weeks the police department has received multiple complaints about vehicles parked along 181h St from Yakima Ave to Riverside St. The vehicles parking along the street are not associated with Sgt. Hubbard Park, but instead are people living in them. This includes motor homes, camp trailers and passenger vehicles. The result is a congested road shoulder and sanitary issues as debris seems to pile up in accordance with people living out of their vehicles. After reviewing the parking ordinance, it has become clear that this area does not fit under 9.50. 100 Truck parking in residence districts restricted, because this area is zoned [Small Convenience Center.] Additionally, some of these vehicles are smaller than 20 feet so the ordinance does not apply at all. Some of the complaints we have received state that this is unsightly for those community members using Sgt. Hubbard Park, while others complain about the left over garbage. Prohibiting parking along 18th St from Yakima Ave south to Riverside St, along Riverside Street to Chalmers, then South on Chalmers to Beech St would help with this issue, and give law enforcement the ability to take action. Additionally, prohibiting parking on Chalmers north of Riverside St to Chestnut Ave and then along Chestnut Ave to 16th St would help to eliminate some already used areas nearby that people could move to. While some of these vehicles leave during the day some remain, most if not all will leave garbage behind. I also have received unconfirmed information that that RV's have on occasion dumped sewage along the roadway. The area highlighted in red is the proposed No Parking Area. Another area of the community for which we are frequent parking complaints is on West Chestnut Ave, between 19th Ave and Stanley Blvd. This area currently allows parking along the North Side of Chestnut Ave. We have had multiple complaints about people congregating in the area. Homeowners complain of garbage and loud music at all hours of the day and night. When people get into their vehicles and hang out, there is very little in the way of enforcement that officers can do because parking is legal. Vehicles parked here also cause a significant narrowing of the roadway making two-way traffic possible, but very precarious. Restricting parking hours to "No Parking" between Spm and 5am between Stanley Blvd and 19th Ave on West Chestnut Ave would help to reduce these issues. The area highlighted in red is the proposed No Parking Area. Lieutenant Chad Stephens CITY OF YAKIMA LEGAL DEPAR 200 South Thud Stree�Ygdm., Washington 98901 (509)5'75 6030 Fax (-"M56160 ,0071-M-1 TV 1 August 20, 2018 TO: Dulce Gutierrez, Public Safety Committee Chair Kay Funk, Public Safety Committee Holly Cousins, Public Safety Committee FROM: Cynthia Martinez, Senior Assistant City Attorney SUBJECT: Domestic Violence Last public safety committee meeting I committed to addressing the numbers and painting a picture to what a strong City of Yakima approach to Domestic Violence would resemble. The Domestic Violence Prosecution numbers: 2017 Total charged 979; 31 % of caseload Guilty - 386 SOC - 186 Warrant Status - 69 Pending - 14 Pending Appeal - 0 Not Guilty - 2 Dismissed — 341 No Charges Filed — 618 2016 Total Charged 824; 26% of caseload Guilty - 379 SOC — 136 Warrant Status — 25 Pending — 3 Pending Appeal — 1 Not Guilty — 2 Dismissed — 278 No Charges Filed — 703 Memorandum to Public Safety Committee August 20, 2018 Page 2 The Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) Model: The Duluth Michigan CCRT is considered the best evidence based Model for a comprehensive approach to DV crimes. See attached. Below is a discussion of this model and please note that I am not advocating for additional staff in 2019. Prior to making a formal request I would want to study our current results in more detail to make sure my request would be a fiscally responsible and addressing the appropriate issues, secondly, I am aware the 2019 budget can't support such a request. The measure: After viewing the numbers you may ask yourself, "What should the measure be of a strong CCRT? This is a complex question. Police, advocates and prosecutors are all working to be out of a job (eradicate domestic violence), but realistically, that is not going to happen. The better measure is whether there is a transparent, victim -centered, Coordinated Community Response to Domestic Violence (CCRT). The hallmarks of a strong CCRT is as follows: - A victim of domestic violence feels comfortable reporting an incident. - The incident is investigated thoroughly by the Officer and all evidence is gathered and preserved. - The victim feels supported throughout the legal proceedings and after. - Strong and quick prosecution effort. - Closely monitored probation including treatment. Attached is a diagram of the City of Yakima DV Response which illustrates who would be part of the City CCRT. Each bubble should be trained and utilize their own best practice DV protocol for dealing with Crimes of Domestic Violence. To achieve the goal of strong prosecution the Prosecution Unit needs: We need more prosecutors. We currently have 4 prosecutors handling a caseload of 1,000 case each. In contrast, there are 9 public defenders handling no more than 400 cases each and various private attorneys. Having more prosecutors would allow us to have a DV charging unit and an additional prosecutor. The DV charging prosecutor would initiate DV focused practices such as the Gone On Arrival Project (described below). The second prosecutor would handle a caseload thereby reducing or keeping the caseload the same for prosecutors. Ideally, there would be a third prosecutor to reduce prosecutor caseloads more significantly. Victim Advocate Services. We need an in house advocate to provide support services for victims. I formerly worked for the City of Tacoma, who at that time had three DV advocates in the City Prosecution unit. The County, which does not have the number of DV incidents that we do, has two/three devoted victim/witness employees. I found the DV advocates to be an invaluable help and the prosecutors in my office who Memorandum to Public Safety Committee August 20, 2018 Page 3 worked for the County, also praise the work of the victim/ witness employees. Ideally we would have more outside DV advocate support as well. Many of the successful models have an outside advocate talking to a victim as soon as the investigation is complete. Two Police officers or one investigator and a police officer to find victims and serve DV warrants. Recently, David Soukup, Yakima County Sexual Assault Unit Supervisor provided training to the prosecutors. The training was great, but it was apparent that the felony unit receives more YPD support. I don't point this out as a criticism, I think that is great and the felonies should receive that support; Felonies are more serious crimes. However, the City Prosecutor should also have this support and misdemeanor DV warrants should be served as quickly as possible. Gone On Arrival Project: I learned of this project during my recent training and it is an example of a prosecution best practice. Current scenario: Half of our DV cases are received by referral. They are referrals because the perpetrator flees the scene prior to police arrival. 1 have also learned that these are often the worst offenders. We currently review these referrals within a month to six weeks. Ms. Winfield will often try to reach the victim via phone, but the volume is so high, she can't continue to make calls. If a decision is made to charge, the perpetrator will be seen in court about 2 months after the incident. If he/she fails to appear, it could be months before the warrant is served. From the victim's perspective: The perpetrator punched me in the mouth, I called the police and he took off. The next day he came home like nothing. They enter the honeymoon phase of the DV relationship and then the perpetrator gets a summons to court two month later. This could be a dangerous situation for the victim because the perpetrator may accuse the victim of conspiring to get him charged behind his back. At this point, things are going well and the victim is often not cooperative with prosecution effort. Gone on Arrival project: A police officer and Prosecutor would review referrals immediately, a warrant would be requested and the warrant would be served. Within 48 hours of fleeing, the perpetrator would be in jail. Victim is protected and there is a higher likelihood of cooperation. This would result in more case filings, but quicker relief for the victim. 8/20/2018 What is The Duluth Model? - Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs donlestic; abuse 4 t-rventiOrl prlgr,%rjj, VA Hoov pf Ttip VoWth Model . What is The Duluth Model? Since the early 1980s, Duluth—a small community in northern Minnesota—has been an innovator of ways to hold batterers accountable and keep victims safe. The "Duluth Model" is an ever evolving way of thinking about how a community works together to end domestic violence. * Has taken the blame off the victim and placed the accountability for abuse on the offender. * Has shared policies and procedures for holding offenders accountable and keeping victims safe across all agencies in the criminal and civil justice systems from 911 to the courts. ® Prioritizes the voices and experiences of women who experience battering in the creation of those policies and procedures. Believes that battering is a pattern of actions used to intentionally control or dominate an intimate partner and actively works to change societal conditions that support men's use of tactics of power and control over women. Has ongoing discussions between criminal and civil justice agencies, community members and victims to close gaps and improve the community's response to battering. https://www.theduluthmodel.org/what-is-the-duluth-model/ 1/3 8/20/2018 What is The Duluth Model? - Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs e jobs 202 East Superior Street Duluth, MN 55802 https://www.theduluthmodel.org/what-is-the-duluth-model/ 2/3 8/20/2018 www.endvawnow.org/en/articles/print/id/319/ VJIRTUAL IMOWLEDGE END VIOLENCE AGAINS • leveloping coordinated community responses A coordinated community response involving health, police, judicial and legal services, shelters and protection services, schools and other education institutions, religious or cultural groups, and others is an important strategy to ensure survivors of violence, their children and other dependents receive the comprehensive support they need in a timely and sensitive manner. A coordinated community response is the equivalent of employing a multisectoral approach at the local level. In many instances, central -level agreements are secured first that can then be transferred to local levels. The respective governmental and non-governmental organizations are brought together in a `team of professionals' (including health, police, shelters, social and mental health care workers, etc.), to ensure a shared understanding of the anti -violence legal framework and laws in place, the concept and practical application of a community coordinated response, and the respective roles and procedures that should be followed within the multi -sectoral approach. Coordinated community responses engage key individuals and agencies from different sectors to: • help women and girls access protection, legal assistance and meet other basic health and livelihood needs; • encourage survivors to report incidents of violence by ensuring a gender -sensitive and appropriate response and increasing trust in the police; • promote `zero tolerance' throughout the community; • more closely monitor women's safety and batterer intervention programmes where they exist; and, • increase prosecutions and convictions.

In the process of inter -institutional negotiations, it is important to secure support from major decision -makers (including mayors and/or other high-level local authorities) and work with actors that are trusted by the community. • Achieve systematic changes — the purpose of inter -institutional negotiations and interventions under this approach is not only to improve responses for women and girls survivors, but also to achieve lasting changes in the attitudes, norms and practices at the level of the service delivery institutions themselves. The intervention is centered on institutions as a whole, and not just individual representatives, reflecting a systems -based approach. This implies working towards pre-service/institutionalized training; ensuring minimum standards (e.g. for domestic violence or rape -related services); upgrading equipment and infrastructure; continuous quality control http://www.endvawnow.org/en/articles/print/id/319/ 1/3 I 8/20/2018 www.endvawnow.org/en/articles/print/id/319/ mechanisms to monitor the quality of services that women and girl survivors receive; and establishing data collection systems.

Part 3: Background Project Focus: Check all that apply 0 Pedestrian mobility 0 Bicyclist mobility 0 Community health ❑ Economic development ❑ Safety at crash location ❑ Proactive/systematic safety — If this box is checked please indicate the process used to prioritize the proactive/systematic safety project (example — local roads safety planning process): In the summer of 2017, the City of Yakima hired two students from the City Council Mentorship Program to collect sidewalk data around Yakima -area schools. Around McKinley Elementary, several deficiencies were noted including: deteriorated surface (16 locations); uneven panels (18); no, or damaged ADA ramp (22); and, Tree Damage (8). Need/purpose: The purpose of this project is to improve the pedestrian crossing at the intersection of 131h Avenue and Tieton Drive and improve the walking surfaces along MacLaren Street, 121h Avenue and 131h Avenue. McKinley Elementary has an agreement with the Trinity Baptist Church at the northeast corner of 13th Avenue and Tieton Drive to allow use of the church parking lot for dropping off and picking up children. Although crossing guards are stationed at this location during the drop off and pick up times, installing a HAWK pedestrian crossing at this location would increase the safety. The existing sidewalk on MacLaren Street, 12th Avenue and 13th Avenue is old and has section that are in poor shape. Although 5 feet in width, the sidewalk has settled and grass has grown over the sidewalk in many areas, resulting in a useable width of approximately 4.5 feet. There are no sidewalk curb ramps at the street intersections. Replacing the dilapidated sidewalk and installing sidewalk curb ramps at the street intersections will greatly increase the usability of the sidewalk, especially for persons with disabilities. 2018 Pedestrian and Bicycle and Safe Routes to School Application for Funding Page 2 of 4 Community engagement: We met with school officials after observing the afternoon dismissal of the students to discuss the recommendations we are making for the grant application.
