Can we do 23 fairly quickly, Steph? Okay. So Madam Park. Report from City Manager Recommendation to accept and expend grant funding from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation and the amount of $491,211 to implement a feasibility study and randomized controlled trial to. Evaluate the Long. Beach Justice Lab multidisciplinary team citywide. Thank you. Mr. West. We have a quick staff report by the team director, Tracy Klinger. Honorable mayor and council. Thank you for. Having us here this evening. In January. 2018, the Long Beach I-Team launched, as you know, the first of its kind justice lab to provide new tools. For first responders to divert. Offenders out of the criminal justice system. The lab has several initiatives. One of the four most prominent ones is the MDT or multiple distillery team, which convenes. City and county departments to better coordinate. And reduce the burden on individuals. Accessing and navigating services such as mental. Health, substance. Abuse and homeless services. In addition to Datamart, as. Part of the city's data driven justice brings together multiple datasets to cross-check information with police, health fire, the city prosecutor. And other departments to help coordinated to help coordinate. Excuse me, much needed wraparound services for residents. If you recall, in November, the City Council authorized the city manager to receive a half a million dollars in grant funds to implement the MDT and Data Mart. With this new grant funding item in collaboration with Cal State, Long Beach and UCLA will conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the effectiveness of the MDT. Team based. Method of. Service planning and care care management. I would like to thank the team for all their hard work. This new funding secures a total of $1 million in grant funding toward the implementation. Of the Long Beach Justice Lab. That concludes my report. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor Richardson. Thank you, Tracy. Mayor Garcia, innovation team. I'm very supportive of taking a look at this work and I'm glad that you've been able to identify the funding. So please continue to keep us keep us updated. Councilwoman Mongo. Thank you for bringing this, and. We're excited for the opportunity. Thank you. Councilman Pierce. I feel like it's late. And I want to congratulate you guys on the good work. I know we heard about this at the mayor's state of the city. Do you have any of the numbers in front of you right now on do we have the numbers on the high frequency offenders? Yes, we have about 875 high. Frequency offenders that were. Booked or cited 11 or more times over a five year period. Currently, we're. Looking specifically at 22 cases. So the multiple dictionary team, our approach is to look at a small. Number of cases at a times. Triaged around them. So currently we're looking at 22 cases, 22 individuals that cross sector the various city departments for services. Okay. Thank you so much for that. Thanks for the great work and keep it up. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Andrews. Yes. Yes. Thank you very much. Mayor Tracey, I just want to congratulate you guys for the fine work you're doing. If I knew anyone know how to get money. Your group knows how to go get it. Congratulations. Thank you. And I'll just add, obviously, I know there's a lot of work happening around the justice fund and I appreciate all the the interviews. And I know we're also been involving just the community that's interested in the justice lab. Want to make sure to me, one of the most important parts of the of the initiative is the putting the mental clinician in our city jail, which we have never not done before. And so do we have an update? Is the grant going to address that or is that moving on a separate track? It's a separate track. However, we do have the Emmylou finalized and the clinician will be in the jail. Jail effective April 2nd. Oh, that's great news. So, so so this you're talking like in a month? Yes, in less than a month. And it is. Funding through the innovation fund. That's funding that that pilot program. Okay. Well, I want to congratulate you guys. And I know the chief in the police department for working on that. I think that's going to be a very, very important move in the right direction at the jail and certainly to ensure that we're providing the right services for folks that need help, particularly those that are that are at that time. So I thank you for that. And I'm sorry, Councilwoman Pryce. Thank you. I'm sorry you're on, Mr. Mayor. And I was thinking about court. I was. I did want to acknowledge the I-Team because they came and did a presentation at Public Safety Committee, and it was a fantastic presentation. I've been using the information from the presentation as talking points at all my community meetings. I would like to let you know that I think probably after six months of having the clinician in jail in the jails, we'd love to get a report back on some of the data and how many people were routed into services and what types of services and all of that. So I'm sure you have some data tracking in place, but if not, I think we'll be looking for that information about six months out. We'd be happy to provide that update. Thank you. Thank you very much. Councilwoman, is there any public comment on that, this item? Seeing none, sir, you know. Okay, no public comment on this item. Please go and cast your votes. Motion carries.
