Special City Council Meeting, 8/10 at 5:30pm</strong></span><br><a href="https://helenanthony.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0211a39d4f4847bd40714084e&id=e08a88a484&e=6732c3b43a" style="color: rgb(0, 124, 137); text-decoration-line: underline; font-size: 14px;" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://providenceri.iqm2.com//Citizens/detail_meeting.aspx?ID=13137</a><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">The Council President has invited our Public Safety Commissioner, Chief of Police, President of the Fraternal Order of Police and Executive Director of the Nonviolence Institute to discuss public safety.</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">I have heard a great deal of concern and frustration from neighbors about public safety. I hope we can get beyond talk and politics and press for responsiveness. <br><br>I have encouraged residents to participate in meetings about our budget priorities. At the May 13</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> Finance Committee meeting, we heard from our police chief about his budget request for this year. I was one of the few councilors who spoke up, asking Chief Clements directly if he had the tools he needed to address the ATV issue, and he said he did. Unfortunately, the situation has gotten worse since then.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">There has been a call for more police officers, but more police may not solve the problem. Our police officers, just like our teachers, operate in a larger system. And it is the larger system that is broken. How many of our 400 officers are deployed on our streets? What are the policies regarding apprehension of ATVs? What has been successful in combating ATVs in other cities? Have our officers been adequately trained in de-escalation methods? What is the plan for addressing the history of mistrust with BIPOC communities? Do our police need other tools to support safety for everyone? These are the kind of questions I plan to ask at Tuesday’s meeting.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">To be clear, I support our police. I voted in support of the police contract, and I supported the new class of police academy cadets in this year’s budget. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">But as I have stated before, I believe strongly in public safety for all residents in every neighborhood. We continue to hear disturbing accounts from black and brown neighbors who have spoken passionately about the history and current realities of policing and its impact on their lives. And too many residents of all demographics feel the city has not responded to their concerns. </span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">I support the reform of our system of policing, which has been the subject of much conversation, but little action. We cannot continue to approve expenditures that will keep a broken system broken. As I said in a recent Ward 2 Letter, I am pleased that the city is pursuing new partnerships to respond more appropriately to 911 calls, but this is one of many steps we must take.</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong style="font-size: 14px;">2.

<span style="font-family:helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">As may have read in recent news reports, Shawn Selleck, the City Clerk of Providence, was placed on administrative leave on June 28, pending an internal human resource investigation. On or about August 3, the investigation was concluded and Shawn was reinstated. Unfortunately, council leadership has refused to let Shawn resume his job. Without consulting other members of the council, they hired an independent investigator to further probe the claims. Yesterday, the <a href="https://helenanthony.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0211a39d4f4847bd40714084e&id=b1b6d3f9bc&e=6732c3b43a" style="color:#007C89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RI Supreme Court ordered that Shawn be reinstated</a> to his position pending the outcome of a complaint he has filed.<br>
<br>
While I do not know the details of the claims, I am concerned that the Council was not apprised of the situation nor involved in determining an appropriate course of action. I believe, and many of my colleagues agree, that Shawn has done an outstanding job of modernizing the Clerk’s office, and prioritizing open and transparent government. If it wasn’t for Shawn, the City Council would not have been able to conduct business during COVID.<br>
<br>
The City Council unanimously elected him to a four year term as City Clerk in January 2019, and at minimum, we should be kept apprised of his status as a city employee. </span></span>

The Avenue Concept has created a series of self-guided walking tours to guide you to Providence's public art installations (and there are more than you think!) The tours are available either on <a href="https://helenanthony.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0211a39d4f4847bd40714084e&id=e3b26b0407&e=6732c3b43a" style="color:#007C89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an app that you can download to your phone</a>, or on <a href="https://helenanthony.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0211a39d4f4847bd40714084e&id=427749e1c1&e=6732c3b43a" style="color:#007C89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a website</a>, so you can explore from your computer.
