Police Chief Chaplin introduced the staff report and Deputy Police Chief Mathews provided a synopsis of the staff report.
City Manager McAdoo indicated the Work Session was not a request for the City Council to consider the purchase of new equipment and noted Assembly Bill 481's requirements sought Council's approval of continued use of equipment currently in Hayward Police Department (HPD) inventory.
Mayor Halliday opened the public comment section at 7:29 p.m.
Mr. Zachariah Oquenda, Chief's Advisory Panel (CAP) member, referred to a letter he submitted which provided three categories of military equipment used by HPD with suggestions for continued use as well as to eliminate for financial savings and safety reasons; and noted this was context for the need of a civilian oversight commission.
The following speakers expressed support in requesting the City Council give clear direction to staff to meet Hayward Community Coalition's (HayCoCoa's) three demands:
demilitarize Hayward Police Department, redistribute funds allocated towards military equipment to other community services and resources, and create an independent civilian police oversight body. The speakers also noted they would participate in HayCoCoa's work session report card and assess each Council member's response and instruction to staff related to the three demands. Some speakers also stated the 1.5 million dollars cost in HPD's military equipment did not include additional costs related to training and chemical weapons. Some speakers spoke about deficiencies in the proposed policy such as lack of equipment limitation, does not incorporate limitation on the use of chemical agents and impact rounds, excludes training required for the equipment, does not outline authorized or prohibition uses of the equipment. Some speakers suggested diverting fundings to community needs such as affordable housing, food, mental health resources, school resources, and civic programs.

Mr. John Lindsay-Poland, American Friends Service Committee member, noted the proposal should include training in the annual cost, asked Council to instruct on prohibitions of equipment use for situations that should not be permitted, and urged Council to take time to discuss the proposal with staff and constituents before deciding.
Mr. Kevin Dowling, Hayward resident, supported the equipment used by HPD as officers respond to hostage situations and requested that HPD's Special Response Unit share a detailed report of incidents they have encountered from the last five years to demonstrate the type of fire power officers are facing on the streets.
Ms. Jennifer Esteen asked Council to create a police oversight body, recommended against funding and militarization of HPD, and suggested to divert funds for housing and food needs.
Ms. Jade, Hayward employee, requested Council deny the proposal until funding is made clear; and requested that Attachment IV (HPD Equipment List) state that there would be no maintenance cost because Hayward is committed to demilitarization, or place a cap on increasing, maintaining, or repairing equipment.
Ms. Theresa, Hayward Concerned Citizens' representative, opposed the two demands made by HayCoCoa to demilitarize HPD and to redirect funding; supported having an independent police community group; favored increasing funding for community services, but not diverting funds from the Police to mental health; and noted that in extreme cases, having extra force for HPD may be necessary to protect Hayward businesses.
Mr. Todd Davis, Hayward resident, NAACP member, former commissioner, urged Council to inquire the need to have military style weapons and request recent examples of instances justifying the need for weaponry, urged that funds used for training and maintenance/replacement be redirected to mental health services, affordable housing, 8| April 26: 2022

resources and creating an independent civilian police oversight body, and reimagine a system that does not prey on citizens but supports them.
Ms. Artavia Berry, Community Services Commission Chair, stressed the importance of placing the highest value on all human life, requested that all military grade equipment be eliminated from HPD's toolkit, reimagine how to create a safe environment and fund needs in the community, and urged to study models in other nations.
Ms. T], Hayward Concerned Citizens' member, stated HPD officers have the training, judgement, and oversight of equipment to do their job and respond to critical incident situations consistent with practice across the state and expressed support for HPD, trusting they would continue to be transparent and protect the community.
Ms. Suzanne, Hayward resident, Hayward Concerned Citizens' member, urged Council to consider the dangerous situations that officers face daily and consider the types of weapons presently on the streets such as ghost guns, and requested that Council allow HPD to serve and uphold the safety of the community.
Mayor Halliday closed the public comment section at 8:40 p.m.
The City Council took a recess and Mayor Halliday reconvened the meeting at 8:46 p.m.
Mayor Halliday indicated staff confirmed the meeting was livestreaming via YouTube.
Members of the City Council thanked staff for the presentation and appreciated public members who spoke in favor and against the proposed policy regarding HPD's funding, acquisition, and use of "military equipment" ", as defined by Assembly Bill 481. Members of the City Council concurred it would take time to vet the proposed policy and educate community members.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff regarding the following: salary savings from HPD were used to fund mental health through the Hayward Evaluation and Response Teams (HEART) program and staff was working to expand the program; status of the Chief's Advisory Panel (CAP) and the plan to meet on a quarterly basis; the "military" term is used because the state legislation defines and categorizes the police equipment as such; Assembly Bill 481 requires Council to approve an ordinance authorizing the continued use of the classified equipment, choosing not to authorize, or authorizing certain equipment and continuing discussion of other equipment; the ordinance would be approved every year and misuse of the equipment would be cause to modify the ordinance in order to ensure compliance; HPD equipment list compared with other agencies of comparable size; plans for the community engagement as required by Assembly Bill 481; overview of Council's commitment towards community policing and reimagining policing, noting there were specific initiatives such as the HEART program, changes to the Dispatch Center, the People's Budget, the Complaint Liaison Program, review of HPD's training curriculum, expansion of the Internal Affairs Division and changes to the Use of Force policy; HPD's approximately 50 vacancies included police officers, dispatchers and professional staff; responsibilities of the military equipment coordinator as outlined in Policy 706 and corroboration with the Deputy Police Chief to deploy needed equipment; misuse of equipment would be handled by Internal Affairs and, if criminal, handled by the Alameda County District Attorney's office; the Alameda County Sheriff's Office serves as the mutual aid coordination agency for the county and maintains a master list of regional equipment and each law enforcement agency's capabilities in case of a major event; prior budget for HPD equipment replacement in the Capital Improvement Program; tear gas and pepper spray use; and HPD equipment (avatar tactic robot, mini unmanned aerial system (UAS), armor personnel carrier, Penn Arms 40mm launcher; and collaborating with other law enforcement agencies and pooling resources for response to a large incident.
Council Member Zermeño shared that residents want to feel safe and be assured HPD is ready to respond to emergency situations; noted HPD salary savings are being used for community resources; added the role of the CAP could be improved; noted HPD is not purchasing new equipment; asked staff to develop an equipment list in HPD's inventory and have a list of comparable agencies in the Bay Area; and expressed he was satisfied with the police force noting it was not a military police force.
Council Member Márquez directed staff to break down the categories, include concrete details in the policy indicating circumstances when the equipment would be deployed and prohibited and provide recent examples of its use; added she did not wish to expand the categories to include more equipment; added the proposal needs to be vetted through more Council work sessions or the Council Infrastructure Committee; supported reassessing the use of the CAP and noticing its meetings with more structure; and spoke of the need for more public education on the topic.
Council Member Lamnin suggested having more than one community meeting where community members could see equipment discussed to the extent safe; referred to El Dorado's policy and supported including language on prioritizing community safety and life, and listing specific uses and prohibitions; commented the City's policies on peaceful protesting should align with the proposed policy; supported the annual review of the policy; looked forward to the next steps for CAP and the potential to holding meetings as Brown Act meeting bodies; favored having established responses for specific incidents; noted the policy was missing information such as alternatives to the equipment, what happens if not used, hazards of use, and who would be the independent deciding body; and urged staff to provide multilingual access for future community meetings.
Council Member Andrews asked that the item be added to a future Council Infrastructure Committee meeting for further discussion; asked that CAP meeting minutes/summary notes be made available; asked to have a work session related to CAP's structure; asked additional information on how the independent reviewer would be determined; proposed having a risk register which would help detail the risk associated with the use of certain type of equipment versus the risk of not permitting its use as an evaluation tool to decommission uses; requested 10| April 26.2022

that staff share information on funds allocated toward mental health and affordable housing and in comparison to the cost of military equipment and training; requested that staff provide top situations where HPD would need to use military equipment and provide information as to what could occur if the equipment was not available regionally; and suggested that Access Hayward could have a specific field for addressing complaints about the use of a specific equipment.
Council Member Salinas suggested that law enforcement agencies within the county could naintain an inventory list of equipment that could be used regionally; agreed with Counci Member Andrews that a risk register could be a good tool to show the community wha equipment was in use, the benefits, and potential risks of not having them available; shared the approval process was not intended to be an opportunity to militarize HPD; noted the CAP and the Council need to work in partnership to have a robust approval process based on thorough evaluations and community input; noted the role of the CAP needs to be evaluated and redefined to allow for public participation; and directed staff to bring forth a clear process and allow for discussion on the City's needs to keep neighborhoods safe.
Council Member Wahab requested that staff add more weapons to the HPD Equipment List utilized by HPD to assess their use; mentioned it was important to have data/statistics on the usage of any equipment and address effectiveness in combatting problems; noted the issue with civil oversight bodies was the limitation with enforcing their findings and appointment structure; indicated the authorized use language needs to be clarified to include usage, circumstance, training, data, and deployment; recommended reassessment of the equipment in HPD's toolkit to determine historical uses and true need for the equipment taking into account officer safety and comparing it to potentially being lethal towards the public; and emphasized training officers on engaging with individuals, de-escalating situations, and apprehending without lethal force.
Council Member Márquez reaffirmed there was a suggestion to bring the item before the Council Infrastructure Committee; and added that Council Members Salinas, Lamnin and herself would be joining an ad hoc committee with Community Services Commission leaders to review the funding process and offer recommendation to Council.
Mayor Halliday underscored the need for stronger federal legislation on weapons that were permitted to be owned; stressed the importance of ensuring HPD was prepared to respond with adequate tools to incidents such as the recent mass shooting in Sacramento; expressed concern about outside agencies use policy overriding Hayward use policy when being used locally; underscored that HPD needs to be able to response if other people are armed with similar weaponry; added there was an upcoming work session addressing gun-ownership safety; requested that staff use AB 481 as an opportunity to analyze if the department had more equipment than needed and whether this could be reduced; requested that recommendations offered by CAP Member Oquenda be evaluated; stressed the importance of providing assistance to individuals being released from incarceration and noted she was working with mayors in the Alameda County to improve mental health services; and noted she looked forward to upcoming community meetings and further dialogue.
