跟进：明尼阿波利斯市议会委员会9比3推进撤销社区安全办公室，10月29日交全会表决
美国明尼苏达州亨内平县明尼阿波利斯市市议会一个委员会10月27日在公开听证后，以9票赞成、3票反对、1票弃权推进一项政府结构条例修正案，拟撤销市社区安全办公室（Office of Community Safety），全案预计10月29日提交市议会全体会议表决。这是GSM 10月14日关于该办公室存废报道的跟进。
社区安全办公室由市长雅各布·弗雷（Jacob Frey）与市议会于2022年设立，统辖警察局、消防局、911调度与心理健康响应等安全职能，现任专员托德·巴尼特（Todd Barnette）年薪约40万美元；他今年夏天未获续任，将于年底离任并暂任过渡专员。按市政府的说明，这次条例修正还包括撤销绩效管理与创新局、把种族平等、包容与归属工作并入社区关系局，并明确社区安全局的职责范围。
提案由市议会主席埃利奥特·佩恩（Elliott Payne）与议员罗宾·旺斯利（Robin Wonsley）提出，社区安全办公室年度预算约1600万美元。旺斯利认为该办公室已经失败，应当撤销；支持保留的一方包括市内911、应急管理与社区安全等部门主管，明尼苏达州总检察长基思·埃利森（Keith Ellison）也致函支持保留，并指出包括纽约在内的其他城市正在研究明尼阿波利斯的这一模式。听证会上，贾米森·怀廷（Jamison Whiting）表示，撤销该办公室将抽走市政府中专注于非传统公共安全的机构。
弗雷市长反对撤销。他表示：「在没有计划的情况下整体撤销，再加上其他削减警察局经费的提案，这不是一个严肃的方案。」相关资金如何重新分配，预计在12月初决定。
Follow-Up: Minneapolis Council Committee Votes 9-3 to Advance Elimination of Office of Community Safety; Full Council to Vote October 29
In Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, a City Council committee voted 9-3, with one abstention, after a public hearing on October 27 to advance a government-structure ordinance amendment that would eliminate the city's Office of Community Safety, with the full Council expected to take up the measure on Thursday, October 29. This is a follow-up to GSM's October 14 report on the office's future.
The Office of Community Safety was created in 2022 by Mayor Jacob Frey and the Council as an umbrella over the police and fire departments, 911 and mental-health response. Its commissioner, Todd Barnette, who earns about $400,000 a year, failed to win reappointment over the summer and is resigning at year's end while serving in an interim capacity. According to the city's description, the amendments would also eliminate the Performance Management and Innovation Department, consolidate racial equity, inclusion and belonging work within Neighborhood and Community Relations, and clarify the scope of the Neighborhood Safety Department.
The proposal is sponsored by Council President Elliott Payne and Council Member Robin Wonsley; the office's budget is about $16 million. Wonsley argues the office has failed and should be eliminated. Supporters of keeping it include the directors of the city's 911, emergency management and neighborhood safety functions; Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison wrote in support, and other cities, including New York, are studying the Minneapolis model. At the hearing, Jamison Whiting said eliminating the office would strip out the body focused on non-traditional public safety.
Mayor Frey opposes the move. 'This wholesale elimination without a plan, combined with other proposed cuts to MPD, is not a serious proposal,' he said. Decisions on reallocating the funding are expected in early December.
