Coulter. Motion passed 6-0.
Finnerty would like for the Commission to think about what they will do with the information once it is
received. For consistency Townsend mentioned that the Commission should request what has been asked
for by the Ad Hoc Diversity Committee. Bowers noted that those recommendations have been given to
staff and that staff will report on those recommendations to the City Council in June. The City Council
has not discussed the recommendations further than asking staff to take a look at each one.

nominations. Townsend asked that Commissioners email any ideas that they have for next year's event to
Bowers.
Proclamations
No report.
SEATS
Olmstead mentioned that City Council member Dickens spoke recently about the program and stated that
he felt that the Sunday service and door to door service would remain the same but that the half price
fares would be eliminated. Olmstead encouraged all Commissioners to contact Council members to
protest eliminating half price fares.
Education Subcommittee
Finnerty reported that she has been in contact with School Board Member Swisher and that a meeting will
take place in the near future. The subcommittee will reach out to former Commissioner Jessie Harper to
see if he is still able to participate.
Immigration Subcommittee
Hanrahan mentioned that meetings have taken place and that she hopes to be more active in the fourth
quarter. Finnerty spoke on the numerous immigration groups that have been created in the community and
the fabulous work of each. At this time, the Commission will keep their focus on the municipal ID
recommendation to the Council.
Harrahan inquired about the City's progress with the recommendations given to the Council in December
of 2012. Bowers said that as noted in the memorandum from Assistant to the City Manager Geoff Fruin
the recommendations are being considered as part of the remodeling of the Washington Street entrance to
City Hall. In addition, Bowers said she would continue to update the Commission as information is
received.
Ad Hoe Diversity Committee
Townsend feels that the recommendations from the Ad Hoe Diversity Committee were misinterpreted.
Townsend noted his disappointment in the Council supporting a grant to place school resource officers at
City & West.

education and the other on housing.

to see the Commission play in the community.

Randall Wilson, Legal Director, randall.wilson@aclu-ia.org, 515-650-1980

Iowa Ranks Worst in Nation In Racial Disparities of Marijuana Arrests
A black person in Iowa is more than 8 times as likely to be arrestedfor possession than a white
person, despite equal usage rates, an ACLU national studyfinds.
(Des Moines, IA) - Iowa has the largest racial disparity in the country of arrests in marijuana
possession, with blacks being more than eight times as likely to be arrested than whites, even
though whites use marijuana at about the same rate, a national American Civil Liberties Union
study has found.
The report is based on data collected from the FBI and U.S. Census Bureau. It found that
on average nationally in 201G, a black person was 3.7 times as likely to be arrested for marijuana
as a white person. And in some individual counties nationally, blacks were more than 10, 15,
and even 20 times as likely to be arrested.
Iowa has the highest racial disparity rate in the country with a black person being 8.34
times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession as a white person. Iowa is followed by
Washington D.C., Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.
In Iowa, blacks make up just 3.1 percent of the population, according to the U.S. Census
Bureau. But in 2010, they were arrested at a rate 8.34 times higher than whites for marijuana
possession. That translates into 1,454 blacks arrested per 100,000 of the black general population
compared to just 174 whites arrested per 100,000 of the white general population.
Iowa Must Do Better
"These are devastating numbers," said Legal Director for the ACLU of Iowa. Iowa criminal
justice advocates have long pointed out racial disparities in arrest and incarceration rates of
blacks and the report is further evidence that the state needs to make equity in criminal justice a
priority, he said.
"Iowa has been a leading state among civil rights and should not rank as the worst in
racial disparities in marijuana arrests," said Wilson. "We all need to take responsibility —
whether as citizens, police on the streets, or administrators. We can all do something to change
this culture if we truly care about justice and equal opportunity."
The report also includes recommendations on ending "the war on marijuana." Marijuana
arrests now account for half of all drug arrests in the U.S. The report recommends legalization
of marijuana as the smartest and surest way to end racially biased enforcement of marijuana
laws.
Other Studies, Similar Problems
Iowa has fared badly in other studies of racial disparity in its criminal justice system,
In 2007, a study by the Washington D.C.-based Sentencing Project ranked Iowa worst in
the nation in the ratio of blacks to whites in prison. The study found Iowa incarcerates blacks at
a rate 13.6 times that of whites —more than double the national average. Across the country,
blacks are imprisoned at nearly 6 times the rate for whites. Latinos are imprisoned at nearly
double the rate for whites nationally.
(Latino arrest rates were not included in the ACLU study because the FBI data did not
include that racial breakdown.)
A 1999 Des Moines Register investigation found the proportion of Iowa's blacks in
prison, on parole, or probation had reached 1 in 12 —a ratio that far surpassed those of most
other states.
The ACLU study is especially significant because it examines an area of the law which is
violated by whites and blacks at roughly equal rates — dispelling the argument that blacks
commit more of a particular crime and therefore are arrested at higher rates. The report cites the
National Household Survey of Drug Abuse and Health that found in 2010 nationally 14 percent
of blacks and 11.6 percent of whites reported using marijuana in the past year.
Data Examined by County and Region
The report also breaks down arrest data by county: In Iowa, Dubuque County had the worst
racial disparity with 1,816 arrests per 100,000 for blacks vs. 181 for whites; followed by
Woodbury County at 2,036 vs. 251; Johnson County at 1,918 vs. 247; Linn County at Z090 vs.
284, and Clinton County at 1,148 vs. 157
(A bar chart illustrating this is attached, as are two other charts showing marijuana
arrests rates from 2001-2010 and the racial disparities for Iowa's five most populous counties.
The charts are also available online at wwmaclu-ia.org.)
However, according to the report, the racial disparities cut across many states, regions,
and demographics, stating, "The racial disparities are as staggering in the Midwest as in the
Northeast, in large counties as in small, on city streets as on country roads, in counties with
high median family incomes as in counties with low median family incomes, and exist
regardless of whether blacks make up 50 percent or 5 percent of the county's overall population.
The racial disparities in marijuana arrest rates are ubiquitous; the difference can be found only
in their degrees of severity."
A Worsening Problem
The study further found that while there were pronounced racial disparities in marijuana
arrests 10 years ago, those disparities have grown significantly worse.
"The war on marijuana has largely been a war on people of color," said Ezekiel Edwards,
director of the ACLU's national Criminal Law Reform Project and one of the report's primary
authors. "State and local governments have aggressively enforced marijuana laws selectively
against black people and communities, needless ensnaring hundreds of thousands of people in
the criminal justice system at tremendous human and financial cost."
One Iowan's Story
The national report, in fact, highlights the case of a Waterloo man, DeMarcus Sanders. Sanders
was stopped by police for merely playing music in his car loudly. The officer searched his car
and found a single marijuana seed. Sanders plead guilty and did 30 days in jail, losing his job.
He also automatically lost his driver's license. Sanders still owes the state more than $23,000 for
jail room and board, court costs, and other fines —which is tough to repay after getting fired and
having no driver's license.
Sanders was stopped and arrested a second time for doing nothing more than
jaywalking. The officer wanted to search him, said Sanders.
"I told him,'No, you cannot,'" Sanders remembers. "'I haven't done anything. I'm not
drunk. I'm not high. I'm not bothering anyone.'" He was arrested anyway, and police later
found a small bag of pot on Sanders.
"I understand cops have to do their jobs. I'm not bashing cops," he said. "[But] you're on
me; that's profiling. You're racially profiling me."
More on Sanders story can be found in the national report at www.aclu.or&lmarijuana
along with stories of other black people who were racially profiled and later arrested for
marijuana possession.

CITY OF IOWA CITY 14
MEMORANDUM Mumma
Date: June 10, 2013
To: City Council
From: Tom Markus, City Manager
Re: Human Rights Coordinator/Equity Director position
Introduction
The City's Ad Hoc Diversity Committee report and recommendations have established the need
for dedicated staff to advise the City Manager on issues of equity and diversity and to
coordinate the City's efforts and initiatives with regard to the same.
History/Background:
City Council passed a resolution on June 19, 2012 establishing the Ad Hoc Diversity
Committee. The committee was charged with studying the City's transit system and law
enforcement operations with a view toward promoting just and harmonious interaction between
City government and minority segments of the community. The resulting recommendations of
the committee's work included several initiatives that would be best implemented under the
oversight of a dedicated staff member who reports directly to the City Manager on issues of
equity and diversity.
Discussion of Solutions:
A significant portion of the Ad Hoc Diversity Committee's recommendations centered around
issues regarding communication, education, customer service, development of partnerships,
and publishing a comprehensive annual report. Because these functions complement the
nature of work performed by the City's Human Rights Division, I have determined that redefining
the role of the City's Human Rights Coordinator position into a Human Rights
Coordinator/Equity Director position serves the existing needs of the Human Rights Division, will
provide the initial advisory role to the City Manager necessary to successfully implement the Ad
Hoc Diversity Committee's recommendations and also the ongoing advisory role to the City
Manager to appropriately and proactively address issues of inclusion, diversity, and equity both
within the community and the City's internal organization.
Financial Impact:
The added responsibilities and requirements of the position support placement of the proposed
Human Rights Coordinator/Equity Director position in Administrative grade 29. This will result in
an added FY14 cost of approximately $3500.
Recommendation:
I recommend that Council replace the City's Human Rights Coordinator position (Administrative
pay grade 28) with a Human Rights Coordinator/Equity Director position (Administrative pay
grade 29).
Prepared by: Karen Jennings, 410 E, Washington St., owa City, IA 52240 (319) 356-5025
RESOLUTION NO.

t Nft r'q� NO*' T MEMORANDUM
Date: June 11, 2013
To: City Council
From: Tom Markus, City Manager
Re: Staff Review -Ad -Hoc Diversity Committee Recommendations
Introduction:
The Ad -Hoc Diversity committee, established by resolution of the City Council June 19, 2012,
reported out recommendations regarding the Police Department and the Transportation
Services Department operations as they relate to minority populations with a view toward
promoting just and harmonious interaction between the City and minority segments of the
community. The Ad -Hoc Diversity Committee also commented on previous recommendations
made by the Police Citizen's Review Board which are included in the report provided by staff.
The Ad -Hoc Diversity Committee recommendations were reported to Council in the March 7,
2013 Information Packet and during a City Council work session on April 9, 2013.
History/Background:
After receiving the recommendations from the Ad -Hoc Diversity Committee, the City Council
asked staff to both review the recommendations as presented and respond to each
recommendation with a staff response and staff recommendation. The City Manager's Office,
City Attorney's Office, and City Clerk's Office, in conjunction with the Transportation Services
Department and Police Department reviewed each recommendation.
City staff developed a "Diversity Implementation Form," that highlights each recommendation
made from the Ad -Hoc Diversity Committee and includes a staff response, staff
recommendation, and timeline for finishing each recommendation. The Diversity
Implementation Form is intended to be utilized as a reporting tool for each recommendation and
will be provided to the City Council annually.
The Ad -Hoc Diversity Committee recommended various improvements the City can make to
promote the harmonious interaction between the City of Iowa City and minority segments within
the Iowa City community. City staff generally concurs with the majority of recommendations
brought forward by the committee. Many recommendations ran be made simply by modifying
existing law; others will take time for thorough study, review, and possible implementation.
Financial Impact:
The financial impact of these recommendations will generally fall on the amount of staff time
dedicated to each individual recommendation.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution approving City staffs review of
the Ad -Hoc Diversity Committee recommendations and the recommendations brought forward
by City staff.

Diversity Implementation Form
(Updated 6113/13)
In June 2012, the Iowa City City Council established the Diversity Committee which was formulated to serve as
an ad -hoc council committee to review issues relating to diversity within the Police Department and the
Transportation Services Department. In addition, the committee was charged with reviewing the Police Citizen's
Review Board (PCRB). The scope of the committee was to review the policies, practices, and procedures within
the departments, including the PCRB, and provide a set of recommendations to the City Council on diversity
related matters. From September 2012 to March 2013, the committee reviewed and investigated the
departments and developed a set of recommendations. The recommendations are separated between the
Police Department, the Transportation Services Department, and the PCRB. The general recommendations are
provided below.

distrust.
3. Respond to the pending recommendations to Council from the Police Citizen's Review Board.
10w0 City Transportation Services Deportmen

3. Increase community outreach efforts.
4. Improve overall environment of downtown interchange and high volume bus stops/shelters.
5. Improve communication between other transit services in the Iowa City/Coralville vicinity.

Iowa's Abducted Chfldren
Is there Hope?
CedarRapids Iowa (May 22, 2013) Today we hear again the kidnappings of young children in Eastern Iowa.
Parents and the community feel helpless looking and fearing for their own communities and children. They feel
compassion for the victims and parents and yet they ask "what prevents their children or loved one to be the
next victim. Believe it or not there is hope. There is much we can do to help our families and children.
On August 9 and 10, 2013 in CedarRapids, Iowa we will hold our Ilth PreventingAbuse Conference on
many subjects including child abduction andsafety, human trafficking, InternetSafety, Cartels and more.
Among our speakers are Noreen Gosch (mother of Johnny Gosch) and Drew and Heather Collins (parents of
Elizabeth Collins) and many more. We are scheduled to hear remarks from Senator Grassley and Governor
Terry Branstad and more For an extensive list and to register please go to www.12reventingabuse.org.
Above all else pray for the famities of the abducted children and all in the community
