INTRODUCTIONS:
Chairperson Botchway asked for those in attendance to introduce themselves. Karr then
asked that everyone speak loudly so that the microphone system can pick up their
voices. She also noted that Donna Henry has submitted her resignation from the
Committee due to unforeseen circumstances, and Council would be discussing the
vacancy at their meeting on September 18.
APPROVE MEETING MINUTES:
Coulter moved to accept the minutes of the September 10, 2012, meeting as
submitted; seconded by Botchway. Motion carried 6 -0.
PRESENTATION BY POLICE CHIEF:
Botchway noted that the Police Chief would be giving his presentation to Members next.
He added that the presentation was based on questions that the Members had regarding
their charge and that the Chief would try to answer as many of those as possible during
his presentation. Chief Hargadine then began his presentation, stating that if anyone
has questions to please interrupt him. He then introduced his Senior Command staff
with the Iowa City Police Department (Capt. Rick Wyss and Capt. Jim Steffen).
Hargadine briefly gave Members some background history on his senior staff, as well as
himself. As of January 2013, the ICPD will have 82 officers, according to Hargadine.
The conversation then turned to diversity and what it means to the ICPD. Hargadine
noted that because of the dynamics of the Iowa City community, there are many topics
and issues faced by his officers that other departments do not face. As an example he
cited anti -war protesting, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and gay marriage, among
others. He also noted some of the various special interest groups and issues that his
officers must interact with regularly — mental health, homeless, Alzheimer's, ADA issues,
service animals — to name a few. Another source of unique issues for the ICPD involves
the University of Iowa and its student population.
Chief Hargadine next turned the discussion to the accreditation the ICPD has through
CALEA — the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. He
explained how this accreditation helps the department to improve the delivery of public
safety services, by maintaining a body of standards that have been developed by public
safety practitioners. Hargadine noted that a copy of the latest accreditation report was
v
Ad Hoc Diversity Committee, September 17, 2012
distributed that evening. Continuing, Hargadine noted that CALEA's specific goals are to
strengthen crime prevention and control capabilities; formalize essential management
procedures; establish fair and nondiscriminatory personnel practices; improve service
delivery; solidify interagency cooperation and coordination; and increase community and
staff confidence in the agency. The ICPD is on their fourth cycle through the
accreditation process, which takes place every three years.
Coulter asked Chief Hargadine what he believes the top three issues were from the most
recent CALEA review. Hargadine responded that the review did note the department's
space issues in their current location. Another issue has to do with the department's
recruiting challenges. Hargadine added that this refers to the demographics of the
community and the competition across the country for specific, targeted groups.
Hargadine then turned to the topic of department training. He noted that in January of
each year the department has week -long sessions of training that are done county -wide,
as the surrounding agencies face the same mandatory training issues that the ICPD
does. This training involves all law enforcement officers, including chiefs and the sheriff.
Other training takes places throughout the year, according to Hargadine, within the
department itself.
Hargadine stated that this year they teamed up with an organization called Diversity
Focus. He further explained what this organization does, noting that they specialize in
diversity training and that they are very familiar with the issues faced in the Iowa City
area. Bakhit asked the Chief about officers' awareness of cultural differences.
Hargadine noted that ICPD officers are very aware of cultural and background issues,
and pay close attention to such hot button issues as those seen in Muslim communities.
Townsend then asked the Chief how he believes his officers are doing in terms of
addressing the diverse population of Iowa City.
Roberts asked about those situations where officers have been called to one of the local
schools and whether or not these situations should have been handled without police
intervention. Hargadine responded that this is a very subjective topic. He added that
some schools have a higher incident of disruptions and at -risk students. These schools
have more to deal with overall. Hargadine also noted the difference in having personnel
with experience and those who are just getting started — both in the schools and on the
ICPD. Townsend followed up with a question concerning what procedures are followed
at the local schools when dealing with students, as they are minors. Hargadine stated
that it would depend on the school's decision of how they want to proceed and whether
they are going to directly involve the parents. If the school wants the child removed,
then the parents have to be notified, according to Hargadine.
Wyss responded to questions as well, noting that they have an excellent working
relationship with the Iowa City schools. He reiterated that parents are involved in the
process, and depending on the school's position, many times the parents have already
been contacted by the time the police arrive. Wyss added that parents are always
notified if a student is going to be interviewed. Hargadine added that they have three
different committees that the police are involved in that deal with such issues as
educating the educators and knowing when to involve the police.
Members continued to ask questions concerning how the Iowa City schools and the
ICPD work together, and how issues are dealt with. Wyss noted that the Core
Management team did come up with specific guidelines on when schools should contact
—'?
Ad Hoc Diversity Committee, September 17, 2012
law enforcement and when the schools themselves should handle behavior difficulties.
This helps to keep uniformity in how each school handles difficult situations. Hargadine
and Wyss continued to respond to Members' questions and concerns, sharing what
these various committees do to work with the local schools to create safer environments.
The discussion then turned to perceptions, and how difficult it can be to change
perceptions within the community. Hargadine noted that many times it has to do with
past dealings in other locations, and that locally they strive to treat everyone with
respect, fairness, and dignity — no matter what the situation.
Townsend asked Chief Hargadine if more complaints are received from minority
populations on specific officers than others, and if so, what actions has the Chief taken
to improve this. Hargadine responded that they have not kept track of this from a
minority standpoint, but that he can have this information available at the next meeting.
He added that there is no particular pattern in the complaints received, that no one
officer consistently receives complaints. Steffen noted that when the PCRB receives
complaints, it is optional for the complainant to list their race. This is true, as well, for
those complaints received directly by the ICPD. This led Coulter to comment on the
topic of race. He strongly recommended that the ICPD look at the federal reporting
requirements on race and ethnicity, and use these requirements in their own reporting
measurements. Hargadine asked if that should be a recommendation for the PCRB as
well, to which Coulter replied that he believes the entire system should be done in the
same manner.
Hargadine continued to respond to Members' questions. He explained to the Committee
how the ICPD responds to situations, such as if they know the call involves violence — all
of the officers should be considering many of the same tactical issues. Hargadine noted
that each instance has its own set of circumstances and each officer is trained to use
their own discretion on how to deal with situations. The discussion turned to policies and
what types of policies the ICPD has in place for certain situations that they encounter,
Wyss added that each officer has to use their own discretion in many of situations, along
with supervisory guidance. He noted that the ICPD does strive for consistency in how
situations are handled, although there are often a variety of factors that determine what
the officer will ultimately do. Capt. Steffen commented as well, stating that the officers
know they will need to defend their actions if called upon to do so. He also noted that all
of the ICPD vehicles are equipped with in -car cameras that capture each situation,
helping supervisors and the Chief better review how officers are responding. Hargadine
responded further on how helpful the videos are and how command staff can use these
in certain situations.
Vanden Berg asked Chief Hargadine where he would like to see things go in terms of
diversity issues. Hargadine responded that he sees this as an opportunity to showcase
the ICPD and to show the community the myriad of things his officers do on a daily
basis. Vanden Berg also asked the Chief how trust can be built up between the ICPD
and the community. He stated that they already have several programs in place, but
that they aren't always able to get the public to be a part of these programs. The
conversation turned to how the public hears mainly `negative' things about the ICPD, not
all of the 'positive' things about the officers and all that they do. Hargadine then
responded to a question concerning how they can be more proactive rather than
reactive.
Ad Hoc Diversity Committee, September 17, 2012
Hargadine then shared a handout with Members, noting that it shows the last six police
academy graduation classes for the entire state of Iowa. He asked that Members glance
through these, which will show them who the police recruits are in Iowa. Townsend
asked how many current ICPD officers are African - American, and Hargadine noted there
are currently two officers. Capt. Wyss added that the department has been working on
their recruiting process by encouraging minorities to apply. He stated that they received
317 applications during the latest hiring process. Wyss noted that they cannot require
applicants to share their race on the application form, but that one African - American
female did. He added that they have an equal opportunity employment plan in place but
that they would welcome any ideas for improving this plan.
Hargadine then asked the Members what they would like to delve into further this
evening and what they would like to discuss at next week's meeting. Coulter stated that
he is interested in data —the media, public perception, internal politics, national politics.
Hargadine responded that he believes they have a good relationship with the media and
that he often hears that from the reporters themselves. Coulter reiterated that what he is
looking for are facts, not media reports or political points of view. Chief Hargadine noted
that the ICPD's annual report does a good job with this. Coulter further clarified what he
is looking for — a breakout by city or school district with regard to race and ethnicity, and
gender against citations, including all offenses for the past five years.
Botchway asked the Chief further about the process of implementing diversity training
and what kind of oversight there is to make sure these issues are being addressed as
per the training. Hargadine noted how the video can often be useful in situations like
this, to be able to see how an officer handled a particular situation. Vanden Berg asked
that the information also show the content of the training received by officers, and if the
officers did any evaluations of the training, in order to show what the officers derived
from it. Hargadine gave Members a brief history of Diversity Focus and how well the
training has been received by the ICPD. Coulter then suggested a program that could
be used to evaluate the police department, for example, on their diversity efforts. He
added that they would need to have measurable data in order to carry out such a
program.
The discussion continued with Members questioning the charges given them by the
Council, and just why this committee was formed. Botchway noted that from what he is
hearing tonight there are no problems, that everything is fine — yet he knows that there
must be something wrong if this committee was formed in the first place. Perceptions
were discussed, with Botchway stating that they need to dispel the negative perceptions.
Members continued to discuss what data they would like to receive from the ICPD, such
as what types of programs are available to help educate the public on law enforcement
issues.
BOARD DISCUSSION:
None.
TENTATIVE MEETING SCHEDULE:
Chairperson Botchway briefly reviewed the upcoming meetings schedule. Karr noted
that there is a conflict on October 1, with Roberts stating that she would need to either
move the meeting time to later that day or move to another day. It was suggested that
_—J!'_

October 1 meeting.
PUBLIC INPUT:
None.
ADJOURNMENT:
Vanden Berg moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:00 P.M.; seconded by Coulter.
Motion carried 6 -0.

Dear Friends of MaGaZiNe yEtU,
Here is the link to the new You Tube video documentary of the Iowa City Police, and the link to the first
video. As you all may remember, I was given a citation for "failure to cross the street properly" out of
retaliation for excersizing my rights to be free from illegal search and seizure, as well as other rights. This new
video is the second part of this story, you will see a police supervisor allowing a Caucasian female to "fail to
cross the street properly" directly in fromt of them, right in front of the police station, with no citation nor
verbal warning. Yet I was cited over $97.00, and the video from the squad car which they claim will show
whether I broke the law or not, is not released. Initially they told me a couple hours, but that was August 1 st,
2012. Go figure.
1st Video New Video!
Sincerely,
Mr. Longdon

REPORT FROM REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DISPROPORTIONATE
MINORITY CONTACT COMMITTEE AND THE COALITION FOR RACIAL
JUSTICE
Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) Coordinator LaTasha Massey said
disproportionate minority contact examines the rate of contact with the juvenile justice
system among juveniles of specific minority groups compared to their white counterparts.
Disproportionality occurs when the ratio is over 1:1. In order to measure the proportions,
the DMC Committee uses what is called a relative rate index. This method compares the
rate of activity at each decision point in the juvenile justice system among racial groups.
Massey said Johnson County has the highest rate for arresting African American and
Latino youth in Iowa. She said the arrest decision point is where Johnson County has the
Informal Minutes: August 1, 2012/ page 2
highest rate of disproportion. African American youth are nearly 9 times more likely to
be arrested compared to their white counterpart, and Latino youth are 2.6 times more
likely to be arrested.
Massey said the DMC Committee has been in Johnson County since 2005 and she
started working with the committee in 2008. After the arrest decision point, the numbers
decrease dramatically, thus making the rate of contact more proportionate. She said
Juvenile Court Services has done a good job at keeping juveniles from reentering the
system. Statistically, 70% of first time juvenile offenders and 90% of second time
juvenile offenders do not come back.
Massey said African Americans face more discretionary charges than white youth.
She notes that this is comparable to what they see in the school system where school
officials discipline white youth for visual acts, such as vandalism or smoking, and they
are more likely to discipline African Americans for being too loud or disrespectful.
Massey said the DMC Committee is comprised of representatives from the County
Attorney's Office, Juvenile Court Services, the Iowa City Police Department, and citizens
from the community. Since numbers have decreased beyond the arrest rate, the
Committee is focusing on how to prevent youth from behavior leading to arrest and
connect youth with other community resources.
Iowa City City Council Member Connie Champion asked Massey to elaborate on the
kind of diversion they are developing. Massey said they are still pulling ideas together.
The committee is working closely with the University of Iowa DMC Resource Center.
Massey said the average cost per simple misdemeanor juvenile case is $1,257. This
adds up to approximately $74,000 per year for simple misdemeanors alone. This amount
reflects having 80% of 74 youth that are first time offenders. She said the committee is
working on ways to prevent these types of crimes from happening in the minority
population.
Mid - Eastern Council on Chemical Abuse (MECCA) Director Ron Berg asked for
clarification on a chart that Massey provided to the Criminal Justice Coordinating
Committee (CJCC). Massey said the chart is not updated and the numbers she provided
earlier are more accurate.
Sullivan asked Massey if she has numbers on disproportionality among the adult
population. Massey said she does not have that information.
Johnson County Citizen Amy Correia asked if police officers receive training on how
to build and maintain a positive relationship with minorities as a way to decrease the
amount of discretionary charges. Massey said the DMC Committee will incorporate that
into their diversion plans. She said there needs to be some community connections
between the schools, police, and youth. Massey said the DMC Committee plans to meet
in a week or two to discuss the issue.
Informal Minutes: August 1, 20121 page 3
Sullivan asked if the data is broken down by the different policing organizations
within Johnson County. Massey said no, but if the DMC Committee asks individual
policing organizations for raw data, they usually provide it. Consultation of Religious
Communities Representative Dorothy Whiston said the Coalition for Racial Justice
(Coalition) is working on getting those members for both juveniles and adults. They have
received some numbers from the Sheriff's Office about residents of the Jail.
Whiston said Johnson County not only has the highest rate of disproportionate
minority contact in the State, but she thinks Johnson County is within the top five in the
United States. She said although she does not think this affects Johnson County's need
for a new justice center and jail, the County will be questioned closely due to its
disproportionality.
Department of Corrections Supervisor Jerri Allen said there is information out there
pertaining to adult corrections. She said she could provide statistics on that. Sullivan
said during the last referendum the public wanted to know what is being doing to make
things better. He said the CJCC needs to be conversed in that.
Harney asked if Massey knows how many youth there are in each racial group and
how that balances with the number of arrests or contacts. Massey said initially, the DMC
Committee looks at how many at -risk youths there are between the ages of ten and 17.
She said in Johnson County there are approximately 10,000 youth considered at -risk.
They break this number out by race and compare each with the corresponding rate of
contact with the criminal justice system. Harney clarified that the numbers are based on
the at -risk population, not the total population. Massey said yes.
Champion said she likes the idea of keeping youth from arrest by devising an
alternative way of teaching them that their behavior is unacceptable. She asked if
Massey took into account the socioeconomic status of youth. Massey said they take
everything into consideration however studies have shown that if a person is in the
minority student classification money does not matter because people see color first.
Rettig asked if there is data available on DMC with law enforcement prior to the
arrest. She said one of the biggest problems in Johnson County is disproportionate
minority contact with law enforcement before arrest. Rettig said one of her friends
happened to be a passenger in a car with an African American driver and that car was
stopped while driving. She further inquired about this and learned that in another case,
an African American driver was stopped four times this summer, but never received a
ticket or did any wrongdoings. Massey said she does not think the police record traffic
stops by race. County Attorney Janet Lyness said the police have hied figuring out what
leads to minority contact. Whiston said the Coalition is working on getting these
statistics, but some agencies do not keep track of them. She said it is important to have
all government agencies do an analysis in order to get a handle on this matter.
Informal Minutes: August 1, 2012/ page 4
Berg asked if Massey could give some specifics as to what Juvenile Court Services
has done to keep adolescents out of the system. Massey said they use discretion as to
what juvenile cases require punishment beyond arrest. Lyness said the juvenile court
system follows the philosophy that if an adolescent is placed in the criminal justice
system they are more likely to become high -risk youth.
Johnson County citizen and member of the Coalition Diane Finnerty said the reason
there is juvenile justice data is due to the Federal mandate to collect it. She said the
Coalition is looking at the disproportionality in the adult criminal justice system. She
said State data is available but they are having a harder time with the local jurisdiction.
Finnerty said when she contacted a jurisdiction and asked if they segregated arrest data
by race, it seemed as if that question has never been asked.
Finnerty said the Coalition is on a local and volunteer basis, which started in June
2010 out of the CRC. They have expanded and have become a community based
initiative who promotes racial justice through action, education and empowerment.
Finnerty said she wants to see the conversation focus on examining the outcomes
experienced in communities of color. The focus needs to be on racial equity and not
individual races. Finnerty said there is an increase in racial diversity in Johnson County
and Iowa City. About one -third of students in the Iowa City School District are students
of color. Finnerty said the Coalition plans on releasing a Racial Equity Status Report,
which will shock people to learn of Johnson County's inequity and how the County is
well above the national average in equity issues. Finnerty said the report will cover many
components of living, such as housing, education, income and employment.
Finnerty said the Board has done a phenomenal job in educating the public about
safety, security and the need for space. She asked the Board to fight for racial equity as
they move forward. Finnerty said a training program on conducting racial equity impact
assessments is scheduled for August 23rd from 12:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. at the Iowa City
Public Library.
Harney asked if they have done a study about the number of minorities versus white
individuals serving time in jail. Finnerty said they have data in terms of daily holding
averages. The data does not take into consideration the severity of the crime, but it does
show disparity.
Judge Doug Russell said when the statistics are put together he hopes variables that
could affect the outcome, such as the level of the offense, will be included. A person,
black or white, charged with murder will stay in jail while a first -time offender charged
with possession of marijuana will not. Russell said he would like to see the correlation
between race and the level of the offenses because that can be a crucial factor. Russell
said he would like to see statistics on initial appearances and bond reviews, and who is
being incarcerated and who is not.

Rettig said considering Massey's data on juvenile justice, there is definitely a
problem in the County with disproportionate minority contact with police that does not
lead to arrest. Rettig said there are too many stories from good people who the police
have stopped and harassed for no reason. The issue becomes how to pressure or order
law enforcement personnel to do the right thing and how the County can stop what
appears to be disproportionate minority contact. Although the Coalition's work is
appreciated, all the data in the world is not enough to reach a solution. Finnerty said that
the point of the Coalition is to raise awareness.
REPORT FROM ALTERNATIVES AND TREATMENTS SUBCOMMITTEE
Lyness said the Alternatives and Treatments Subcommittee will reduce its four page
report to one page and post it on the County's web site as soon as possible. She said she
would email the Mid - Eastern Council on Chemical Abuse (MECCA) report to members
of the Committee. This program seems to be working very well, and it is really good that
the County has provided substance abuse evaluations in the Jail. There is consistent use
of that service.
REPORT FROM PUBLIC INFORMATION /OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE
Jail Tours
Bar Association Representative James McCarragher said the web site is up and all of
the information the Committee has put together is on it. The web site has links that make
it easy for people to access information such as deficiencies in the Courthouse and Jail
and how the justice center can solve them as well as statistics regarding who is in Jail and
for how long. McCarragher said the data on the web site shows residents that diversion
programs have been working.
McCarragher said over 60% of the voters in the mock election at the County Fair
supported the justice center referendum. The Public Information/Outreach Subcommittee
is working very hard to get as much information out to the public as it can and educate
the public about the need for space, safety, and security.
Harney said during the tours at the Jail, the press and public were separated. It would
be very advantageous to have the press with the public for these tours. McCarragher said
he spoke to County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek about that and there is a two - pronged
approach regarding the tours. The press has a better opportunity to capture images and
videos of the Jail when members of the public are not present due to overcrowding.
McCarragher said he understands that the press would like to get the reactions of people
on the tours, and the press is invited to attend tours for members of the public.
Lyness said she and Clerk of District Court Lodema Berkley are planning to offer
tours of the Courthouse. They are planning to schedule tours for Wednesdays at 4:00
p.m. because the Clerk's Office will still be open for a little bit of time and there are
usually fewer proceedings then. Lyness said she would remind people in the press
.3�Z-
Informal Minutes: August 1, 2012/ page 6
release that they can come to the Courthouse any time between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
Johnson said there has been a lot of interest in the Jail tours. Captain Dave Wagner
said the first tour of the Jail was full as well as the tour scheduled for next Tuesday at
6:00 p.m. Wagner said he has been contacted by the League of Women Voters regarding
facilitating a tour for them and possibly working with Public Access Television to film
the tour. Lyness said the League of Women Voters has scheduled a tour of the
Courthouse for the end of August.
Neuzil told members of the Committee if they are speaking at County - sponsored
events, the County could provide them with questions- and - answers brochures. These are
also available on the County web site. They handed out several at the County Fair.
REPORT FROM FACILITIES SUBCOMMITTEE
Harney said he received an email from U.S. General Services Administration Kansas
City South Field Office Deputy Director Crystal Powers and she said legal is still
reviewing the agreement.
REPORT FROM FUNDING /GRANTS SUBCOMMITTEE
Rettig said Facilities Manager Eldon Slaughter had shown her some numbers about
operating the justice center, and the Committee needs to work through the numbers a
little more carefully. Rettig asked Major Steve Dolezal to speak with Pulkrabek about
getting Rettig information about the three employees the Sheriff's Office will need so
that she can calculate all the numbers. Dolezal said the County already has a nurse
position and security guard positions in the Public Health Division, so the Sheriff's
Office can mirror those positions' pay grade.
Sullivan said it may also be good to see if the County can receive federal funding for
a new position. Dolezal said the Sheriff's Office has a grant that pays a portion of the
salary for three years. The officer has to be a veteran.
Rettig said, as part of the County's contract with engineering and architect firms, they
were going to come up with educational documents brochure and she asked what the
timeline for that is. Neumann - Monson Architects Principal Dwight Dobberstein said he
needs the information that the CJCC wants included in the brochures and there are people
available to make the brochures. McCarragher said the Public Information/Outreach
Subcommittee has not been able to meet due to different vacation schedules, and making
an informational brochure for the public will be the topic of its next meeting scheduled
for later in August.

Neuzil said his November Listening Posts will focus on the proposed justice center
and the referendum.
SET NEXT MEETING DATE
Sullivan said the next meeting is scheduled for September 5th. Neuzil said that date
conflicts with the Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County (MPOJC) so a
few of the Board members would not be able to attend, including him. Rettig said she
would be out of town, so someone else will give her report.
