IT REALLY DOES TAKE A TEAM AND I WANNA CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS, THE LEADERSHIP TEAM AT CUSD AND OUR RESPECTIVE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICES.

SO FUNDAMENTALLY, THE IGA IS AN OVERARCHING INTENTION OF COLLABORATION AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES.
ADMINISTRATIVELY, BOTH PARTIES WILL FOREGO THE EXCHANGE OF CERTAIN GENERAL FUND FEES WE'RE PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, OF COURSE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE RENTAL FEES FOR SCHOOL CAFE GYMATORIUM OR CLASSROOMS OR FOR OUR PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES OR OUR POOLS, AS WELL AS THE PERMIT AND INSPECTION FEES FOR THE BUILDING PROJECTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE CITY AS WELL.

SO THE CONTRACT IS LITERALLY, UH, FOR THE FIVE YEARS.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO LET, UH, THE PEOPLE OF CHANDLER KNOW THAT WE HAVE THIS TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP? 'CAUSE I KNOW ONE OF, UH, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS IT OR IF THEY WANTED TO HAVE A TOURNAMENT OR SOMETHING'S HAPPENING AND WE CAN'T ACCOMMODATE THEM, HOW DO WE, UH, GIVE THEM THAT INFORMATION? MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
WE REALLY DO WORK WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS ALREADY.
SCHEDULING, AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE INTO PRACTICE.
WE UTILIZE THE FIELDS THAT WE PUT LIGHTS ON, LIKE AT BOGLE AND ANDERSON JUNIOR HIGH.
THOSE GROUPS ALREADY KNOW TO COME TO US OR TO COME TO THE SCHOOLS AS WELL.
THIS IGA IS REALLY A FORMALIZATION OF WHAT'S BEEN IN PRACTICE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

UM, THE FIRST ONE, I'M NOT, I DON'T HAVE THE NAME OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT IT'S FOR THE YOUTH, UH, THE ONE THAT'S GONNA BE AT THE SCHOOLS.
I MENTIONED THERE WAS GONNA BE 10 LESSONS THAT ARE GONNA BE TAKING PLACE.

IF IT'S GONNA BE CONSECUTIVE CLASSES, THE SAME GROUP OF KIDS, OR IS IT GONNA BE 10 ASSEMBLIES OR, I JUST WANTED A LITTLE BIT MORE PARAMETERS OR YEAH.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR, UM, QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT WE CAN, OR INPUT ABOUT THAT, WE CAN CERTAINLY PASS THAT ON.
THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD.
UH, YOU KNOW ME, I'M JUST ABOUT THE NUMBERS, RIGHT? THE RESULTS, LET'S SAY HOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS, I UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE DOING, WHY WE ARE DOING IT, AND HOW ARE WE GONNA DO IT.
NOW I WANNA KNOW, UM, HAVE THEY DONE THAT BEFORE AND WHAT THE PERCENTAGE HAVE THAT WE KEPT OUT OF EITHER ADDICTION OR PREVENT? BECAUSE PREVENTION, TO ME, EARLY PREVENTION IS THE BEST PREVENTION.
AND SO HAVE WE REALLY DONE ANYTHING IN THAT SPACE BEFORE? OR IS THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAS JUST BEEN CREATED JUST FOR US FOR THIS CONTRACT.
SO THROUGH THE MAYOR, UH, COUNCILWOMAN ELLIS, SO THESE ARE NATIONALLY ACCREDITED PROGRAMS. THEY'RE EVIDENCE-BASED.
SO THERE IS DATA AND THERE WAS DATA IN THEIR PROPOSAL.
UM, WE DID, UH, PROCURE THESE THROUGH COMPETITIVE, UM, REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PROCESS.
SO THERE WAS DATA DEMONSTRATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE PARTICULAR PROGRAMS. UM, IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE, UH, EVIDENCE ON THESE PARTICULAR PROGRAMS, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN, UH, UH, ENACTED IN CHANDLER SCHOOLS AS OF YET.
THIS IS OUR FIRST, UM, PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM TO BRING THEM TO CHANDLER SCHOOLS.
WE'D LOVE TO SEE SOME NUMBERS.
CAN YOU JUST REMIND THOSE THAT THAT MIGHT BE FOLLOWING THIS, YOU KNOW, WHY WE HAVE THIS MONEY AND WHY WE'RE PUSHING IT FORWARD, AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS HAPPENED? YES.
UH, THROUGH THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER STEWART.
SO THIS MONEY IS PART OF A NATIONAL OPIOID SETTLEMENT.
UM, THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT BROUGHT IN 26 BILLION NATIONWIDE.
AND, UM, WE ARE A PART OF, UH, THE NINETIES CITIES AND TOWNS, UM, HERE IN ARIZONA THAT SIGNED ON TO THE ONE, IT'S WHAT WE CALL THE ONE ARIZONA AGREEMENT, WHERE WE ALL AGREED TO CERTAIN PARAMETERS AND CERTAIN SERVICES THAT WE WANTED TO SEE, UM, ACTIVATED IN ARIZONA.
SO, UM, SO FAR TO DATE, THE CITY OF CHANDLER HAS, UH, RECEIVED ABOUT 735, UM, THOUSAND OF THAT.
WE ANTICIPATE GETTING OUR SHARE OF THE FUNDING OVER
[00:40:01]
THE NEXT, I I WANNA SAY 18 YEARS.I WILL DEFER TO THE EXPERT WHO IS RYAN PETERS, IF HE'S IN THE ROOM ON THAT, UM, FOR SOME NODS, MAYBE.
UM, SO THIS IS JUST THE VERY FIRST PIECE OF THIS FUNDING, WHICH ARE EDUCATION PREVENTION.
UM, AS STAFF, WE, UM, WITH YOUR GUIDANCE BROUGHT SOME, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU AND YOU GAVE US YOUR INPUT AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND THIS IS JUST THE FIRST THING.
THERE WILL ALSO BE, UM, SOME OTHER SERVICES WE WILL BE PROVIDING, UH, SOBER LIVING SERVICES FOR FOLKS WHO ARE COMING OUT OF, UM, DETOX OR RECOVERY.
UM, WE WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING, UM, UH, LEAVE BEHIND KITS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FOUND BY, UH, POLICE OR FIRE OR, UM, OUR, OUR HOMELESS PREVENTION STAFF, UM, TO LEAVE IN THE FIELD.
AND THEN, UM, CHIEF WIGGINS WILL ALSO BE, UM, STANDING UP SOME SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY.
AND I WOULD DEFER TO HIM TO, TO SPEAK MORE ABOUT THAT.
AND SO JUST TO REMIND ME, THE, THE REASON WE'RE THE SETTLEMENT HA WHO, WHO WAS THE SETTLEMENT AGAINST? SO THE SETTLEMENT, UM, SO THE BIG THREE MANUFACTURERS WERE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON, UH, MCKESSON, AMERISOURCE, AMERISOURCEBERGEN, AND CARDINAL HEALTH.
SO THESE ARE THE BIG DRUG COMPANIES THAT MAKE OPIOIDS.
AND THEY WERE SUED, UM, FOR THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO COMMUNITIES.
AND SO THE FIRST OF THE SETTLEMENTS BROUGHT, THE FINALIZED SETTLEMENT WAS FOR 26 BILLION AGAINST THESE BIG DRUG MAKERS.
NOW WE'RE GETTING FINANCING TO CLEAN IT UP OR TRY TO DO OUR BEST TO CLEAN IT UP.
HEY, JUST ONE COMMENT REAL QUICK.
ANGEL, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ENCINAS, THANKS FOR REALLY DIGGING INTO THIS AND, AND UNCOVERING, UM, OPTIONS FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD AND THEN EMPOWERING STAFF TO REALLY GO OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE DOLLARS HIT THE STREETS AND THE PUBLIC THE WAY THEY ARE.
UM, I JUST WANT TO TAKE MY HAT OFF TO YOU.
COUNCIL, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO? YEAH, ANTHONY, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING OVER THERE.
I KNOW DENNIS, UH, WAS, YOU KNOW, UH, STILL ON THE BOARD THERE, BUT YOU'VE TAKEN OVER MM-HMM.
AND I KNOW I'M PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT YOU'VE SAID THAT PUBLICLY NUMEROUS TIMES.
SO I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE, I THINK THE PROGRAM'S IN GREAT HANDS, AND I KNOW STAFF'S BEEN USING THE ORGANIZATION FOR A WHILE NOW, SO THE LONG-TERM RECOVERY IS IMPORTANT HERE TO ENSURE THAT WE, WE CONTINUE TO CONTINUE FIGHTING THIS OPIOID EFFORTS.
AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY MEMBER LEADERS HERE TODAY CAME FROM YOUR CHANDLER CITY NAVIGATOR PROGRAM AND, UH, HAS BEEN WITH US SINCE ALMOST DAY ONE.
AND, UH, THE, UH, THE HOPE AND HEALING WE'RE PROVIDING THERE IS, UM, EVIDENT IN MYSELF PERSONALLY AS WELL AS HIM AND THE HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS THAT WE SEE EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
LOOKING FOR A GREAT PARTNERSHIP.
[24. Resolution No. 5814, Approving Amendment No. 1 to Intergovernmental Agreement No. CC-22-24-037-X-00 for Housing Stability Services Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5814 approving Amendment No. 1 to Intergovernmental Agreement No. CC-22-24-037-X-00 between Maricopa County, administered by its Human Services Department, and the City of Chandler to accept Community Services Block Grant funds in the amount of $150,000 for Housing Stability Services; authorizing the City Manager to assign all related documents and assurances on behalf of the City of Chandler; and authorizing the City Manager to take all action necessary or prudent to implement the grant. Council Focus Area(s):]
ITEM CALLED IN ALSO WITH RYAN BALK, UH, COUNCILMAN ORLANDO TALKING ABOUT OUR MARICOPA COUNTY IGA FOR HOUSING STABILITY SERVICES.UM, THIS IS A CONTINUATION PROGRAM WE'RE DOING CORRECTLY AND THIS IS JUST ADDITIONAL DOLLARS.
THAT'S ALL I WELL, WANTED TO CONFIRM.
YEAH, I PROBABLY, AFTER TALKING TO YOU EARLIER TODAY, I REALIZED THIS WAS JUST A CONTINUATION, WASN'T A NEW PROGRAM, SO IT'S NOT.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR RYAN? NO.
[25. Purchase of Handheld Narcotics Analyzers Move City Council approve the purchase of handheld narcotics analyzers, from Thermo Scientific Portable Analytical Instruments, Inc., in the amount of $152,527.49. Council Focus Area(s):]
ALSO BY COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO FOR CHIEF CHAPMAN, UH, HANDHELD NARCOTICS ANALYZERS.DID YOU BRING ONE WITH YOU? I DID NOT.
SO CHIEF, GIVE US A QUICK, UH, BACKGROUND OF WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE AND WHAT THIS REALLY DOES TO AND HELP OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
THROUGH THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, THESE TRUE NARC ARE, UM, DRUG ANALYZERS THAT CAN BE USED IN THE FIELD.
AND WHAT THEY ALLOW OFFICERS TO DO IS VERIFY THAT THE SUBSTANCE THEY'RE DEALING WITH IS IN FACT A NARCOTIC OR NOT.
AND THE VALUE TO THAT IS THAT IT ALLOWS THE OFFICERS IN THE FIELD TO IMMEDIATELY CONFIRM IT.
AND PREVIOUSLY WE HAD TO SEND ALL OF THOSE THROUGH THE LAB.
AND SO THERE'S THIS BIG BACKLOG OF CASES THAT WOULD, WOULD GO TO COURT BECAUSE THE LAB IS FOCUSED ON TESTING DRUGS AND A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS.
SO THE, THIS GRANT THROUGH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY ALLOWS US TO PURCHASE FOUR OF THESE TO BE USED IN OUR PATROL DIVISIONS AND OUT OF OUR PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO THAT WE'RE USING IN, UH, THE LAB AND IN OUR, UH, DETECTIVE BUREAU RIGHT NOW.
SO THIS, UH, EXPANDS THAT PROGRAM AND ALLOWS FOR THE MORE IMMEDIATE IDENTIFICATION OF THESE DRUGS.
[00:45:01]
AND I'M ASSUMING ONCE WE GET THESE IN THE STREET, WE'LL GET SOME DATA POINTS IF WE NEED TO GO AFTER OTHER ONES OR, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN OFFICER TO COME, I GUESS, TRANSFER THESE, OR I GUESS THERE'S SOME LOGISTIC CONCERNS, BUT LEAST IT'S A STARTING POINT.UH, THROUGH, THROUGH THE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, THE, THE OTHER, UH, THING ABOUT, UH, THIS DEVICE IN PARTICULAR IS THAT OFFICERS DON'T HAVE TO, DON'T HAVE TO HANDLE THE SUBSTANCE.
THIS IS ALL DONE THROUGH LASER.
IT CAN GO THROUGH THE PLASTIC BAGGIE, AND PREVIOUSLY THEY HAD TO OPEN THAT BAGGIE, TAKE IT OUT, PUT IT INTO ANOTHER CONTAINER.
SO, UH, ASIDE FROM LOGISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS, THERE ARE NUMEROUS SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUR, UH, EMPLOYEES AS WELL.
COUNCIL, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU, CHIEF.
THANK YOU COUNCIL, STAFF, THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN CALLED IN TONIGHT, ON THURSDAY.
WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND, UH, AND, UH, AS WELL AS A VOTE, AS WELL AS OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
SO WE'LL SEE YOU ALL ON THURSDAY.
