| 1 | 31. | Motion | MOTION, dated April 29, 2021, submitted by Councilmember Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, Unofficial juvenile courts have existed in three Cincinnati communities: Madisonville, Price Hill and Avondale. Juveniles who are charged with low level, nonviolent, and or status offenses are referred by the Hamilton County Juvenile Court to these unofficial community courts. For each case, volunteers work with the child and their family to understand the root cause of the behavior, strategize on how to best support those impacted, provide community-based resources, and connect them with other necessary services. This type of community programming helps to keep young people out of the court system, and thereby prevent their involvement in the system when they are adults.
The Madisonville branch of the Community Court is requesting funding to build a more expansive program with training materials, transportation, and resources for the youth and their families so that the Community Court can be replicated in other Cincinnati neighborhoods.

| 1 | 84. | Motion | MOTION, submitted by Councilmember Goodin and Vice Mayor Smitherman, The Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) recently reported that its complement of uniformed officers stands below 1,000 for the first time in decade as a result of retirements and attrition. This reduction in force comes at a time when Cincinnati neighborhoods have been faced with a record number of murders, as well as an increase in property and quality of life offenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the community continues to seek thoughtful engagement between the Cincinnati Police Department and mental health and addiction service providers to, when appropriate, divert potential criminal defendants into treatment. Accordingly, WE MOVE that a portion of Cincinnati’s American Rescue Plan appropriation be committed to: 1) immediately fund a new CPD recruit class in 2021 to better facilitate community policing and criminal investigations; 2) fund additional training and police personnel for CPD’s Mental Health Response Team (MHRT); 3) fund training to better integrate the MHRT with existing mental | Held | |

| 1 | 88. | Motion | MOTION, submitted by Councilmember Goodin, In 1911, a 6.4 acre property was purchased by the City of Cincinnati to establish a park in the suburb of Evanston. As the neighborhood grew, a pool, tennis and basketball courts, a baseball diamond and bleachers were added to Evanston Park, making it a fun-filled gathering place for the generations of families who lived in the area. In 1917, the Evanston Field House was built, which contained boys/girls restrooms and locker rooms, lifeguard quarters and an equipment room, and was also used for picnics and parties. Evanston Park is part of the Cincinnati Recreation Commission and, unfortunately, over the past 20 years, the Field House has fallen into disrepair. It is estimated a complete renovation of the Field House would cost between $275,000-$396,000. WE MOVE that funds from the American Rescue Plan Act be allocated to pay for renovation of the Evanston Field House. | Held | |
