Public events, workshops, and presentations have reached over 1500 residents and have been instrumental in changing people's perception of the crucial role healthy ecosystems play in our lives. The mainstay of its activities has included public tours of residential landscapes that are consciously designed to improve the health of our local environment. Attendees have .been .motivated to create new gardens, use less water in their yards, reduce or eliminate the use of artificial pesticides and herbicides, create lush wildlife habitat, and increase the beauty and sustainability of our community. Hosts become environmental mentors in their neighborhoods, offering ongoing inspiration to residents. Educational handouts are provided at each event and additional materials are available through the Backyard Abundance website. From July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011, Backyard Abundance will continue collaborating with its network of local partner 'organizations to conduct 6 residential landscape tours, 2 public seed exchanges, an environmental film screening, and 7 environmental presentations at community events, schools, and. churches. Landscape features and presentation topics include constructing rain gardens and rain. barrels, implementing edible landscaping, and replacing turfgrass with low- maintenance native plants. Attendance has been high at similar events. Each residential landscape tour attracts an average of 65 visitors. A vermicomposting workshop with ECO Iowa City drew over 90 participants.. A film screening with the Iowa City Environmental Film Festival attracted 60 viewers. Alandscape design workshop,with Field to Family attracted over 40 participants.

Backyard Abundance educational events benefit the Iowa City area by empowering .people to grow more local food, :save time and money implementing low-maintenance landscapes, and reduce their carbon footprint. Our community will become more resilient and sustainable as people use organic, ecology-based methods to perpetually increase the health of urban land. Residents will also improve water quality, reduce energy and watering needs of landscapes, eliminate pesticide pollution, cultivate food, create wildlife and insect habitat, compost organic matter, and use shade trees and windbreaks that reduce the energy needs of surrounding buildings. Families will be healthier because they will .grow and eat more fruits and vegetables. Children will spend more time. outdoors helping reduce childhood obesity. As residents compost organic matter-such as kitchen scraps, leaves, and yard waste--city government will benefit from less need for landfill space and fewer resources to handle this biodegradable waste stream. This will eventually result in fewer climate changing emissions being released from the IandfilL If this is an increase or decrease from previous City funding, please indicate why: n/a List Proposed Revenue Sources Description" Requested Amount Requested City Funding $ 2,500.00 Public fundraising $ 3,190.00 Refreshment donations--New Pi $ 400.00 $ $ $ Total Funding for Program $ 6,090.00 *List public and pnvate oryarncaiwi ia, ~a~~ ~~ ,~~~ ~ ~~ •~• This application must be completed in its entirety.

Mayor's Youth Empowerment Program(MYEP) currently provides Summer Day Camp programs for youth with disabilities and summer employment program for at risk youth in the junior high school level and high school level. We have identify a greater need in the community to provide summer camp for at-risk youth in elementary schools especially for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade school students and preparing them before entering the junior high school arena, most of the youth whose family do not have the means to enroll them in pay camps are hanging around in street corners during summer months when their parents are at work. This past summer we received many inquiries about our summer day -camp for youth with disabilities and how we can use the same model to assist the community with at-risk youth. Our 'Summer programs run from June to August, Monday through Friday from lam to 6pm. Being in the southeast of Iowa City, we are seeing these problems first hand. We have experienced and seen youth get into trouble because they lack the initiative to engage in productive activities that promote continual learning, community service, youth employment and peers bonding. The MYEP Youth Leadership :Program utilizes an array of services to introduce youth to positive behaviors. Youth Leadership Program focuses on the following areas: collaboration efforts: working with all involved in the life of the youth. Integration of family, peers, and the'. community: understanding where the youth is coming from,understanding the family issues and connecting the family 'with community resources. Positive adult and youth interaction: participating in local community services projects along ; side adults. Work-based learning with area businesses for 14-17 years old: providing work experience for 14-17 years. old. The Program curriculum includes: money management, preventing and reporting domestic, physical; and sexual abuse, preventing bullying, on-line safety tips, community service, givingback to the community we love, the importance of higher education, getting and keeping a job puts money in your pocket, how things works, self respect and respecting others and their properties, dealing with and overcoming every day struggle (Yes I Can!). The MYEP Youth Leadership Program also participates in field trips, these field trips are both educational and recreational. Some locations include the Science Museum, Adventure land, The Aquarium, the Kernel's game and more. The youth are also introduce to the Speakers Bureau which introduces local professionals to speak to the youth on various subjects, some of the speakers are: Police Officers, Juvenile Court Officers, Teachers, Doctors, Athletes and ..Coaches, Musicians and Artists, Lawyers, Bankers, Realtors, Business Entrepreneurs and more. How does this program/event benefit the Iowa City area? The MYEP Youth Leadership. Program creates opportunities for area At-Risk Youth and secure the future of our community. The mission of the Youth Leadership Program is: "Creating opportunities for today's youth. and securing the future of our community" While it is estimated 9.2 million to 15 million children are considered "at-risk" in this couhtry. These youth are at-risk because they are at crossroads: One road leads to a successful transition to adulthood, the other to dependency and negative long-term consequences. Youth are typically considered at-risk are more likely to become pregnant, use drugs and /or alcohol, drop out of school, be unemployed, engage in violence, and face an increased likelihood of host of mental health problems. With the receht increase in youth crimes, this program keep .youth involved in structured activities and off the street and off trouble,. which overall benefit the community at large. Despite perceptions that "nothing works" for at- risk youth, or youth are just lazy, research has identified effecting ..program principles and approaches in working with at-risk youth. The most successful program models are those that ` employ the combination of approaches to gear youth toward organized activities to stay away from street corners.

This year once again record crowds of over 50,000 people enjoyed the fireworks display behind the Old Capital on 4th of July. We worked closely with City administration to help the fireworks happen. • Iowa Arts Festival - A weekend full of art, music, family events, and international culture. This year we expanded the arts fair from 115 artists to 134 artists, and added an extra block of space. The response was overwhelmingly positive. We made sidewalk walkways in between artist booths, which prompted positive response from downtown businesses. • Free Movie Series -Each Saturday evening over 300 people gathered on the lawn of the Pentacrest to enjoy small. performances and an outdoor movie. • Friday Night Concert Series -This event brought families and individuals downtown to enjoy live music in the pedestrian mall. Many of the bands brought record crowds down to dance and enjoy the evening together. • Sand in the City -This new event featured gigantic sand sculptures in the streets downtown. Over 25,000 people turned out for this inaugural event helping to raise a net of $16,000 to support summer programming. All of the events and festivals continue to offer free, family friendly,. fun programming available to the entire Iowa City community.

'Small businesses will be targeted through direct marketing to inform them of the opportunity to meet with current MBA students. This will create a relationship for them with current students who can .help provide business strategy advice for them on an as-needed informal basis. The value of the event is leveraged on the fact that MBA students are eager and willing to solve small business problems with their experience and recent course work. Conversely small business .owners are faced with a wide range of problems they may have no experience dealing with and are looking for solutions. .The problem lies in their lack of connections with top-notch business talent. MBA students provide a very cost effective way for them to get advice on their business. The ability of any one MBA student to go out in the community and create this type of connection is limited by their busy school schedule and typically their recent transplantation to Iowa City. The small business owners are also typically unaware of the eagerness of MBA students to assist them with problems and aren'table to make that connection on their' own. One organization currently making this effort is the Iowa Small Business Development Center. Their approach is a .more passive approach at connecting these two communities because it only involves a limited number of students on a formal basis. *The event will include a keynote speaker discussing ways to self-asses your business to identify ways for improvement. "'There will be a group challenge so that students and business owners get a brief experience working together "There will be casual networking time available around food 'There will be games and activities for families to allow more people to attend *Small business development kits will be provided with resources for business owners ~; r"~~~ -......_ CITY OF IowT CITY Yes^ No^/ How does this program/event benefit the Iowa City area? By creating this panel of free advisors to small business owners of MBA students what has been created is actually an informal Board of Directors. Large corporations benefit from this type of advisory board. Small companies and start ups are actually more in need of this type of sounding board and directory services. These contacts will stay in place long past as most students are seeking ways to be more involved and gain a wider exposure to the community they have joined in Iowa City. This event will create a lasting beneficial coalition of like-minded students and business owners that will provide an economic and social benefit to Iowa City.

YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION (YAC) Explanation of funding requests for fiscal year 2010-2011 Website and Advertisine: $1,000 Last year, we were allotted $1,000 for maintaining and promoting a website about the YAC. Since then we have produced a website which offers biographical information about members, materials relating to the youth empowerment grant and information regarding the history and formation of the YAC. Since the success of the website and YAC depend on community engagement, we are again requesting funding to advertise. We advertised during fiscal year 2010 by producing flyers, hosting events and purchasing Face book ads. We hope to continue to expand our advertising in FY 2011 by working with a marketing student at the Tippie B. College of Business pro-bono, reaching out to student groups and high schools and developing deeper relationships with community groups that indicate interest in the YAC's mission. Through continued advertising, we hope to increase community awareness and participation in YAC endeavors. Youth Empowerment Grant: $2,000 We were allotted $2,000 for continuing a youth grant program in FY 2010. We have developed an application and process for evaluating and approving youth led projects that benefit Iowa City Residents with funding up to $500. A student outreach group at Regina has continually expressed interest in, and been awarded, a grant for a project geared towards helping needy families during the holidays. With active promotion and targeted information, countless people have the opportunity to be helped by Iowa City youth. Youth Forums: $1,000 The YAC has recently redoubled its efforts to fully live out its mission statement and truly act as a sounding board for issues affecting Iowa City youth. Acting in empowering leadership roles is only a part of that mission, however, and actively seeking out what youth have to say about the issues affecting them is just as important. To that end, the YAC is requesting $1,000 to have on hand when issues (such as the proposed juvenile curfew) arise and we wish to hold a forum to discuss those issues, as well as address the youth community at large. Recoenition Scholarship: $500 The Recognition Scholarship, $250, will be awarded to two Iowa City Youth who have demonstrated leadership potential and a commitment to community service. These youth must be Iowa City residents in the seventh or eighth grade (orhome-school equivalent), have to be recommended by at least two teachers and must write, in 500 words or less what "leadership" means to her or him. This scholarship will serve not only to recognize youth for their work thus far, and potential for their futures, but also act as a recruiting tool for the commission itself. ~~„®~ CITY OF IC~1NA CITY IP5 ~~~~~~~ ®~~~ RA N D ~ M ~E~CJ ~~ Date: December 17, 2009 To: City Council From: Rick Fosse, Director of Public Works Jeff Davidson, Director of Planning and Community Development Re: Update: Flood-related activities Engineering and Public Works Administration • The contractor is working on the Iowa Avenue Inverted Siphon Sewer Project.

POLICE CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD A Board of the City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240-1826 (319) 356-5041 December 11, 2009 To: City Council Citizen Dale Helling, Interim City Manager Sam Hargadine, Chief of Police Officer(s) involved in complaint From: Police Citizens Review Board Re: Investigation of PCRB Complaint #09-03 0 .~ ('~ D~ c-~-C =~c~ ~~ . ~ o~ ~~ N CJ 0 t.0 Q rn c-5 a a ca This is the Report of the Police Citizens Review Board's (the "Board") review of the investigation of Complaint PCRB #09-03 (the "Complaint"). BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITY Under the City Code of the City of Iowa City, Section 8-8-7B (2), the Board's job is to review the Police Chief s Report ("Report") of his investigation of a complaint. The City Code requires the Board to apply a "reasonable basis" standard of review to the Report and to "give deference" to the Report "because of the Police Chief s professional expertise", Section 8-8-7 B (2). While the City Code directs the Board to make "Findings of Fact", it also requires that the Board recommend that the Police Chief reverse or modify his findings only if these findings are "unsupported by substantial evidence", are "unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious" or are "contrary to a Police Department policy or practice, or any Federal, State or local law", Section 8-8-7 B (2) a, b, c. BOARD'S PROCEDURE The Complaint was initiated by the PCRB at its June 8, 2009 meeting. As required by Section 8-8- 5 (B) of the City Code, the Complaint was referred to the Chief of Police for investigation. The Chiefs Report was completed on September 1, 2009 and was filed with the City Clerk on September 3, 2009. The Board met to consider the Chief s Re~ort on September 8, October 13, November 3, and December 11, 2009. At the September 8 meeting the Board voted to review the Chiefs Report in accordance with Section 8-8-7 (B) (1) (a), "on the record with no additional investigation". Page # 1 This complaint was based on Complaint #09-02 which was filed Apri120, 2009 by a person without "personal knowledge" of the incident. The Chief's review of the complaint was filed with the Board on May 1, 2009. At the June 8, 2009 meeting the Board considered Complaint #09-02. City Code section 8-8-3B: Definition of Complaint states that any person with personal knowledge of the alleged police misconduct may file a PCRB complaint with the board. In order to have "personal knowledge", the complainant must have been directly involved in the incident or witnessed the incident. It was the conclusion of the Board that the complainant was not directly involved and had not witnessed the incident, and therefore did not have personal knowledge of the incident. It was, however, noted by the Board that there still should be some investigation into the allegations made in Complaint 09-02. The Board felt that although the complainant was not directly involved in the incident, a complete investigation would remove any doubt about police misconduct o `° On September 1, 2009 the Chief completed his review of 09-03 and submitted his rt the C Clerk's Office on September 3, 2009. n"'~ ,~. ~"'~ -.tc-~ ~ ~rn sa FINDINGS OF FACT ~ ~ ~ ~ .~ The original incident happened on April 10, 2009, at 5:00 am in downtown Iowa Cry and ~s observed by Officers A, B and C, who were on foot patrol. The officers observed Citizen 'being tackled into a tree. That assailant was arrested. During the course of the investigation into the incident, it became apparent to the Officers that Citizen A was under legal age and intoxicated. He was "flippant and verbally aggressive" with the Officers, who described him as "mouthy". Citizen A was then arrested for public intoxication. A specimen of his breath showed a BAC of .164, over twice the presumptive level for under the influence. Officer A observed a scrape on Citizen A's cheek. He assessed the wound as superficial and mostly likely caused by tree bark. Citizen A did not complain of the injury at that time. Officer B had minimal contact with Citizen A, did not know the grounds for the arrest or recall seeing an injury or hearing Citizen A complain about an injury. Officer B then transported Citizen A to the Johnson County Jail. While the Officers were preparing to transport Citizen A and the assailant, Citizen B approached Office A and reported that he, too, had been assaulted. Officer A took information for an incident report. Citizen B then approached the Officers again, reporting that the man who had assaulted him was at the Fieldhouse bar. Officer A walked toward the Fieldhouse with Citizen B, but then Citizen B told the Officer that the assailant was gone again. There was another assault call at the Fieldhouse bar, so Officer A checked for the assailant inside the Fieldhouse bar. Officer D was summoned to College and Clinton Streets by Officer A at the request of Citizen B. Citizen B complained that Citizen A had been assaulted and arrested. He said that he, himself, had been assaulted. Citizen B also complained to Officer D that he had approached two other officers Page #2 who were dealing with another subject on the plaza about having located the man who had assaulted him near the Third Base bar. He stated he felt it was un-American that two officers were dealing with one person, that it shouldn't take two officers to deal with one person, and was upset that the officers had told him that they were busy. He felt that his assault was more important than whatever the officers were dealing with at the time. During the time Officer D was with Citizen B, Officer D stepped away to deal with a bar fight. Officer D also noted that Citizen B was intoxicated and that Citizen B admitted to being intoxicated. The Chief s report also notes that this was not the first interaction that Citizen B has had with Officers A and C. On February 25, 2009, at 12:43 am, Citizen B was cited for a PAULA violation and for being under 19 years of age and in a licensed alcoholic beverages establishment after 10 pm. A statement attributed to Citizen A includes the following allegations: (1) he was threatened with having the police fill the police car with tear gas; (2) he was not allowed to tell officers his account of what happened nor did any officer ask him for an account of what happened, nor was there an acknowledgement of his having been assaulted and injured; (3) he was offered no medical attention nor was medical intervention provided by the jail staff. A statement attributed to Citizen B includes the following allegations: (1) Officers were non- responsive to his inquiries about Citizen A and the assaults; (2) officer threatened Citizen A with force if Citizen A did not quiet down and were rough with Citizen A when they put him into a police car; (3) later in the night, when Citizen B saw his assailant, officers refuse to assist him and refuse to give him their names; and (4) when he tried to pick Citizen A up from jail, jail staff told him he could pay Citizen A's fine or he could leave. The Police Chief s Report finds the "incidents regrettable", but goes on to state that both on-scene and post-event investigations have been hampered by Citizen A and Citizen B. At the scene, Citizen B was "aggressive and intoxicated". He failed to follow through with evidence (the cellphone photograph) which he stated directly related to the identification of his, and possibly Citizen A's, assailant. The Report goes on to state that Citizen A's arrest was predicated entirely on his level of intoxication and corresponding behavior that night. He was detained initially so Officers could evaluate his role in the conflict. Only as the contact between Citizen A and the Officers continued was the decision made to arrest him, due to "his flippant nature which is clearly a demonstration of poor decision-making and judgment, him being under legal age, and being profoundly intoxicated and unable to attend to his own actions safely and satisfactorily." Officer D initiated a Report of Inquiry (ROI), an internal document used to identify performance or behavior which is either in question or performance which is of an exemplary nature. This ROI addressed performance by members of the Police Department, which was being questione~by a community member. Officer D spoke with Officers A, B and C in connection wit~l~ R~ ,,,~~ D~~ c~~ Officer D prepared and submitted a second ROI regarding a phone conversation tl~t-6lffieer D with Citizen A's mother. Citizen A's mother was concerned that Citizen A had bssa~u~lted, not been seen for a head injury, that he had a headache and that he had a lacerationis ~. S felt the injuries should have been of concern to the officers and that the evaluatior°~ m~qua~ In response to Officer D's inquiry as to why Citizen A hadn't discussed his injuriesand h~dache 0 Page #3 with jail staff, she stated that officers had told Citizen A to shut up or they would beat him and that one of the officers had hit him with a night stick. When she was told that that particular officer did not carry a night stick, she then said that officers had threatened to shoot Citizen A with a Taser. Following Officer D's submissions of the ROIs, the Watch Commander followed up on the investigation by interviewing the officers involved. The information obtained by the Watch Commander was consistent with that gathered by Officer D. The assault reports were submitted and turned over to the Investigations section for follow up. The Investigations Commander learned that Citizen B had a picture of his assailant on his cell phone. Citizen B was asked to submit that photo to aid in the follow-up investigation, but as of September I, 2009, had not done so. Citizen B had not made Officer D aware of the photo at the time he made his complaint on April 11, 2009. The Investigations Commander also contacted Citizen A, who advised him that the person who assaulted Citizen A is a friend of the person who assaulted Citizen B. The first assailant was contacted, initially lied about his own identity and refused to discuss anything about the identity of any friends who were with him or who may have been involved in a fight. Citizen A shared nothing more about his attackers. Attempts to contact a witness who was listed on the incident resort as having accompanied Citizen B to make the report to Officer A, were made with ©succ~. Citizen A advised the Investigations Commander that he did not know the witness. bra rn ` According to the Chief's Report, additional follow-up has occurred on the case, ~~e oase remains in open/active status. :<rn ~ o~ Inquiry was made to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office regarding activities tha~n~`lc .irr~ at the Johnson County Jail. The Sheriff's Office provided intake information and a phone wai~, which indicated that Citizen A had waived his right to a phone call and signed the waiver. Jail staff confirmed that Citizen A appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and that Citizen A admitted to drinking (or taking unprescribed drugs). The intake forth indicates that Citizen A denied, when asked, that there were any other medical problems (or dental disorders) that he was not asked about and that he thought the jail staff should know about. On September 8, 2009 the Board reviewed the Chief's Report and made the following conclusions with regard to the allegations. The mother of Citizen A made seven allegations that the board thought needed addressed. Of the seven allegations made, only two involved Iowa City Police officers. ALLEGATION I : No medical assessment was conducted when Citizen A was arrested. When Citizen A was walked over to a planter, Officer A observed a scrape on his face. Officer A assessed the wound as superficial and most likely caused by the tree bark from the tree he hit when the assailant tackled him into. Since Citizen A talked through most of the interaction with the officer and did not complain of the injury he had, it supports the officer's assessment that the wound was superficial. NOT SUSTAINED Page #4 ALLEGATION 2• Citizen A's attackers were not pursued In fact, the person responsible for attacking Citizen A and tackling him into the tree was arrested. Additionally there has been no formal information received from Citizen A about the attack which he states preceded him being tackled into the tree. NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 3: No medical assistance or treatment was offered prior to Citizen A being placed in jail. This allegation involves Johnson County Sheriff's Department personnel at the County jail. As it does not involve the Iowa City Police Department, it is NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 4: No continued medical assessment was conducted after Citizen A fell asleep in his cell. This allegation involves Johnson County Sheriff's Department personnel at the County jail. As it does not involve the Iowa City Police Department, it is NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 5: Citizen A who had open wounds was allowed to be in the presence of others in a jail cell. This allegation involves Johnson County Sheriff's Department personnel at the County jail. As it does not involve the Iowa City Police Department, it is NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 6: Due to Citizen A's open wound, he was exposed to contaminants in the jail cell. He was not offered gauze to protect against infection. This allegation involves Johnson County Sheriff s Department personnel at the County jail. As it does not involve the Iowa City Police Department, it is NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 7: Citizen A was in jail for 11 hours and while there, had no access to water to drink or clean up with. This allegation involves Johnson County Sheriff s Department personnel at the County jail. As it does not involve the Iowa City Police Department, it is NOT SUSTAINED A statement attached to the origina109-02 complaint was from Citizen A. An investigation was initiated on these allegations and the findings are listed below as Allegations 8 through 13: ALLEGATION 8: Citizen A alleges that he was not read his Miranda warning. Citizen A was not asked questions about the offenses for which he was arrested and was not the subject of an interrogation. Miranda warnings were not required as information wad of being solicited. NOT SUSTAINED. ~ ~ ~ -_~ r"~i ALLEGATION 9: ry..~ °` Citizen A alleges that he was sworn at by police and demeaned by the officer's lge~ `7'~ o~ ~'' w 0 Page #5 There was no evidence other than Citizen A's allegation to support this allegation. NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 10: Citizen A alleges that he was threatened with force. This allegation is both specific and non-specific. In one allegation, it was stated that the officer would or did beat him with a night stick. When the investigating officer responded that the officer in question does not carry a baton or night stick, it was then stated that the officer threatened to use a Taser on Citizen A. Investigators were unable to identify any information other than Citizen A's allegation which supports this allegation. NOT SUSTAINED ~ c fit? can ALLEGATION 11: y -~ n c'-c ~ ~' Citizen A alleges that he was threatened with having the police car filled with tear ~- ~ _ rn Officers do not carry, or have at hand, tear gas. Investigators have not been ab~~ id~ify information other than Citizen A's allegation which supports this allegation. NOT.JSTA~IED c:~ ALLEGATION 12: Citizen A alleges that he was not allowed to tell the arresting officer his account of what happened nor did any officer ask him for his account of what happened, nor was there an acknowledgement of him having been assaulted and injured. The circumstances of Citizen A's assault are captured in the officer's report. The substance of this incident report is provided by Citizen B, another person involved, and nowhere in this report does he allege that Citizen A was assaulted prior to being tackled into the tree. It is the original complainant in PCRB complaint 09-02 that contains the allegation about Citizen A being assaulted prior to being tackled. During the investigation conducted by Officer A, based on information heard at the scene, it was apparent that the person(s) who assaulted Citizen B, which was the subject of the report, were responsible for the assault on Citizen A. An investigation into this matter was initiated on the scene and has continued via the case being routed to the Investigative Section of the Iowa City Police Department. This could only have been gleaned by officers listening to assertions made by Citizen A about the assault he alleges occurred that preceded his being tackled into the tree. There clearly was acknowledgement of the injuries sustained by Citizen A, as officers mentioned that they observed the injuries and attributed them to him having been tackled into a tree. Allegations made by Citizen A differ in degree of injury and the manner in which it was addressed by both Iowa City Police and Johnson County Jail staff. Officers on scene and the transport officer, who serves as supervisory staff in a combat medical unit, did not believe the injuries presented were of a degree to require on-scene medical intervention. Citizen A was accepted by the jail staff without being redirected to UIHC for further evaluation. Citizen A did not offer at booking the same assertion as to degree of injury he makes in the statement which is attributed to him in complaint 09-02. Page #6 Part of the investigation has included a conversation between Citizen A and Investigation's Commander. At no time, did Citizen A ask the Commander to file an official crime report regarding the assault which preceded him being tackled into a tree. Citizen A has failed to advance his concern about the assault which he states occurred prior to him being tackled. Additionally, lack of cooperation from Citizen B to submit the photo which he alleges that he has on his cell phone, has hindered the investigation. NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 13: Citizen A alleges that while in jail, he was offered no medical attention nor was medical intervention provided by jail staff. This issue does not involve Iowa City Police personnel and should be referred to the other agency involved. NOT SUSTAINED A statement attached to the origina109-02 complaint was from Citizen B. An investigation was initiated on these allegations and the findings are listed below as Allegations 14 through 18: ALLEGATION 14: Citizen B alleges that he was told to leave the area after Citizen A was handcuffed and was not given the opportunity to give a statement about his and Citizen A's assault. He also alleges that the officer was not interested in pursuing the perpetrators of Citizen B's assault. Citizen B did provide information for an incident report, quizzed Officer A about what he had been told. Officer A recited the facts back to Citizen B, to his apparent satisfaction. Officer A,t~ien went to the area of the Fieldhouse Bar twice, and inside the bar once, to try to find Citi~n B's ~sailant. NOT SUSTAINED ~~? r°n ALLEGATION 15: c7-< ~ -<r"- z„ The statement also includes references to the officers being non-responsive to his iries~ibout® Citizen A and the assaults. ~x `•~ 3y w Not only were officers responsive, Officer A accompanied Citizen A to try to identify the assailant who Citizen A said was in the plaza near the 3rd Base Bar. The assailant was not located. Additionally Officer A made an examination of the interior of the bar for the suspect, without success. NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 16: Citizen A also alleges that the officers threatened him with force if he did not quiet down, and that officers were rough with him A when they put him into a police vehicle. Page #7 It is significant that Citizen A, to whom this alleged aggressiveness by the officer is directed, does not list his loading and transport as one of his grievances. No other evidence supports this allegation. NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 17: The statement further alleges that later that night, he saw the assault suspect, tried to summon officers who were with another subject, and they refused to assist him and refused to give him their names. This allegation relates to Citizen B approaching Officers B and C who were occupied with another incident. As the officers tell him they are busy and can't attend his problem, Officer A approaches and advances toward the Fieldhouse to search for Citizen B's assailant. NOT SUSTAINED ALLEGATION 18: Citizen B alleges that when he tried to pick-up Citizen A from jail, jail staff told him he could pay the Citizen A's fine or leave. This issue is for the Johnson County Jail staff to address. NOT SUSTAINED BOARD COMMENTS: Both of these incidents are unfortunate, but both on-scene and post-event investigations were hampered by the victims themselves. Citizen A was arrested entirely on his level of intoxication and corresponding behavior that night and had nothing to do with the fact that he was a victim of an assault. He was detained initially so officers could evaluate his role in the conflict. Only as the contact between Citizen A and the police officers escalated was the decision to arrest him made. He was arrested for public intoxication; being under the legal age; being profoundly intoxicated; and unable to attend to his own actions safely and satisfactorily. Citizen B was aggressive and, by his admission to Officer D, intoxicated. He did not like the way the officer took report information, even though the officer repeated the information back to him. He challenged the manner in which officers were dealing with a separate issue were deployed, asserting that his issue was a priority and was defiant when told differently. He has also failed to show investigators evidence related to his assailants identification (the cell phone photo). Page #8 © ~° ~?

INTRODUCTIONS: New appointees were introduced. APPLICATIONS: The Commission briefly looked through the recently confirmed appointments to the Commission. Karr reviewed the advertising and application process, and clarified individual appointments. Outgoing members Green and Gao were thanked for their service. MINUTES: Wahls motioned to approve the November 1 minutes. Heywood seconded. The minutes were unanimously approved. BUDGET UPDATE AND FY11 APPLICATION: The Commission looked through the updated budget. The only recent change was the cost of the youth forum. YOUTH FORUM WRAP-UP: Heywood asked how the council received our summary of the YAC's youth forum. Wilburn said that he thought it was well received. He said that documents from a City Commission carry a certain credence that might not accompany other groups. YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION December 6, 2009 Page 2 of 2 That being said, he also made it clear that, barring any unforeseen change, the curfew will pass 4-3. There will, however, be an annual review of the curfew, which will hopefully provide statistical information to the success or failure of the curfew. Heywood asked if that amendment could be changed after it became law. Wilburn and Karr said other amendments could be made prior to the final reading; and future Council may re-visit the law. Karr also said that she had hoped to bring a copy of the ordinance to the meeting; however, the amended version was still being drafted by the City Attorney to accommodate the recent change. GRANT APPLICATION FROM REGINA: Wahls and Gao presented the Youth Empowerment Grant from Regina. Green abstained from discussion due to a conflict. Wahls noted that the group had originally asked for $900 in funding, but the Commission could only allocate $500, which had been approved. This time, the group was seeking another $500, for the same project. Because no other group has asked for a youth empowerment grant this year, Wahls and Gao felt comfortable endorsing the application. Heywood asked what the differences between this application and the other one had been. Wahls noted that this funding was going to be spent on furniture and dryers and the previous request had been for computers. Wahls motioned to approve the Youth Empowerment Grant Application. Gao seconded. The Commission voted 3-0-1 to approve the application. MEETING SCHEDULE: The next meeting will be January 10th at 4:30. ADJOURNMENT: Green motioned to adjourn. Gao seconded the motion. The Commission voted 4-0 to adjourn, 5:15. zOpx u u m u u 0 o Dam ~ N y N ~D ~p ~ ~ ~ ~ '+ ~ = m 3 ~ x ~~ c ~ O y <D A Q- 0 c ~ 26 G7 ~ ~. ~ O ~ ~ = ~ ~.
