• Minutes of the meeting on February 14, 2023
Motion carried 7/0.
NEW BUSINESS
Prevention of Repeat Violations: Mekies shared his concern regarding individuals who have
multiple interactions with police. He said there is something wrong with the system when one
person can monopolize the Police Departments time. He asked if there is a referral system in
place. ICPD Captain Brotherton explained the Iowa City Police Department has a referral list of
agencies and programs available. While the police officers will share these referrals with an
individual, the Mental Health Liaison may also get involved and provide referrals as well.
Brotherton explained that the process takes a good amount of time and the individual must be
agreeable to receiving assistance. Brotherton noted many of these individuals are referred to
the Mental Health Liaison, GuideLink and CommUnity. Remington shared JECC dispatchers
recently completed training on triaging calls directly to Mobile Crisis rather than dispatching a
police officer. Brotherton clarified that 988 does not dispatch calls. Mekies says it seems that an
individual accepts help after they have been arrested. Townsend said he agrees with Mekies
stating when there is a consequence, the individual becomes more cooperative. He thinks if a
person is given an option to either accept assistance or be arrested and jailed at an earlier
stage it could lessen the number of calls for an individual. MacConnell pointed out the Board
does not know for a fact that the Police Department hasn't offered assistance many times to an
individual during previous calls and if an individual has not committed an offense, there is no
cause to make an arrest. Mekies asked what the next step is when an individual refuses
assistance? Brotherton said officers continue to offer the individual referrals. She went on to
explain the challenges of the individual's life may keep them from seeking assistance. For
CPRB Meeting Minutes

example, a homeless person may not want to seek assistance for shelter because the shelters
do not allow drinking or smoking. She said even if a person is arrested and jailed, they are
released the following day in many cases. Remington said there are statistics available and
being jailed does not guarantee a person will relent to receiving treatment. Mekies clarified he is
not asking they be arrested and jailed, but rather that referrals are made. Brotherton said even
with committals, a person is only held for 72 hours and then released. It is then up to the
individual to follow-up with outpatient treatment. Jensen noted there are limited resources in
Iowa and the wait time for psychiatric beds in hospitals has made it more difficult to receive
treatment. ICPD Lt. Fink noted that many of these calls start with a welfare check where there is
no criminal offense. In these cases, the Police Department is at the mercy of the individual
whether or not they accept help. Vander Vegte said until there is an administration in place that
cares about mental health and a community that cares about human beings, there will continue
to be repeat calls. Townsend suggested there be a limit to how many interactions the police
have with an individual before giving them a choice of either being arrested or accept
assistance. Downing asked Brotherton if the Police Department follows up and tracks these
individuals. Brotherton said the department does and this is where the Mental Health Liaison
would come in. Mekies said he would like to see something in place that states, for example,
after three interactions the person is given a referral and after five arrests, they have a choice of
either accepting assistance, taking their medications, or be arrested. Brotherton explained there
must be an offense to arrest an individual. Mekies requested the Police Department provide a
referral list to the Board. Brotherton will provide a list to the Board and this document will be
included in the April agenda packet.
Use of Force Report Discussion — MacConnell asked when there is one incident involving
multiple officers, and there is a use of force, how many use of force incidents is that
considered? Fink reported if the force is against the same individual, it is counted as one use of
force incident. He said if there are multiple individuals involved, each person with force used
against them will be counted as one use of force. Brotherton further explained, if one officer has
a use of force on two individuals, it will be counted as two use of force incidents.
Introduction of Iowa City Police Department Lt. Jeff Fink, Office of Professional Standards — Lt.
Fink is in the Office of Professional Standards. He shared that in this position he investigates all
use of force incidents as well as internal and external issues. He also investigates complaints of
misconduct and is responsible for CALEA policies. He noted he has reformatted the Use of
Force report making it easier to read and to understand.
OLD BUSINESS
Community Forum Discussion — MacConnell asked for a show of hands of members who have
attended previous Community Forums and what the format has been. Jensen said she has
attended several previous forums as a Board member. She said her best advice is to keep it
relaxed. She has found this makes it more inviting for members of the public to speak. She says
it is important for the Chief to be present to answer specific questions regarding police policies
etc. Remington had some suggestions regarding social media including the Forum on various
sites. She suggested posting individual member highlights leading up to the event. This keeps
the item at the top of their timelines. Neumann will pass this on to the City Communications

team. MacConnell would like the Forum to be placed in the newspaper. Neumann reminded the
Board the cost for a newspaper article/ad would likely come out of the CPRB budget. At this
point, Remington said she doesn't remember the Board ever receiving a response from Council
regarding the CPRB proposed budget which was submitted in 2021. Neumann will investigate
this and report back. Jensen asked the Board to do a run-through of the Forum at the April
meeting.
ICPD Mission Statement Discussion — MacConnell asked board members if they had anything
to add to the core values list for Chief Liston. The Board members had nothing to add to the list
at this time. Jensen asked for more details regarding the ICPD mission statement. The ICPD
Mission Statement will be included in the April agenda packet.

Re: Update on CPRB Recommendations to the City Council (proposed budget)
Dear Mayor and City Council,
Please see the attached preliminary budget proposal in response to your request. It is
preliminary as we are still in discussions with other entities, such as the UI School of Social
Work, regarding the details of our request that an advocate with trauma awareness training be
provided to complainants who desire one.
We recognize that it is taking a substantial amount of time and felt it best to provide you with the
rest of our budget proposal now. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make such requests.

RE: ICPD Referrals
Date: March 16, 2023
Through our many partnerships in the Iowa City community, the ICPD is better able to serve
victims and community members in crisis. Referrals can occur in several ways. When an officer
is dealing with an individual much of what occurs is confidential and the ICPD respects the
privacy of those we serve. There are circumstances when the ICPD can share information on
our interactions with a person with an outside party. In relation to those experiencing a crisis or
are the victim of crime, the ICPD has memorandums of understanding with specific agencies,
have grant partnerships with, and through the direction of state code that allow ICPD officers to
share information on individuals referred for assistance. This does not mean that once an
individual is involved with an agency the ICPD referred the person's information to that the
ICPD is necessarily provided with, or authorized to receive, information on the services
provided to or future involvement of the individual. These agencies include:
• Domestic Violence Intervention Program
-:
• Rape Victim Advocacy Program =
• Department of Human Services C, -
• Johnson County Juvenile Court Services F
• Shelter House —Street Outreach cs
• CommUnity— Law Enforcement Mental Health Liaisons
<n
• University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics (involuntary mental health committals)
Agencies/programs the ICPD works closely with, but the individual must be agreeable to the
referral include:
• Shelter House —WET Shelter/Emergency Housing/Support Programs
• CommUnity— Mobile Crisis
• Guidelink
• University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics (voluntary committals/treatment)
• Mercy Hospital (voluntary committals/treatment)

VALUES
FUTURE VISION
Iowa City welcomes and celebrates cultural diversity
throughout the community, and accurate cultural
historical perspectives are acknowledged and
commemorated. Each community member
understands how systemic inequities have
disadvantaged and marginalized some populations and
are equipped with the skills to disrupt bias. Growth and
healing occur as the City proactively addresses racial
inequalities and social injustices. The City has removed
and addressed systemic barriers present in all facets of city government including policies, land use
decisions, programs, services, and employment. Partnerships with businesses, schools, and non-profit
organizations facilitate equitable access to opportunity across all sectors. City employees, boards and
commission members, and other advisory and decision -making entities reflect the diversity of the Iowa
City community. The presence of equity, inclusion, and belonging is identifiable in all City operations
and activities.
Climate Action
Cities across the Midwest and nationally emulate Iowa
City's Tong -term innovative strategies which achieve net -
zero greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors and
prepare all populations for the effects of climate change
and the urban heat island effect. A bio-diverse
environment flourishes and each generation can look
forward to improved water, air, and soil quality. Every
resident in Iowa City understands the cost of climate
change and knows which community resources can help them mitigate and adapt to these impacts.
Residents of all socioeconomic statuses actively take climate action, including using sustainable
transportation, shopping local, and reducing and conserving energy. As a result, their health, safety,
economic wellbeing, and relationship with their neighbors are improved.

participation. Neighborhoods are revitalized as a source
of grassroots community -building, empowerment, and prosperity for all households. There is a high
