Speaker 6: And does this add any net impact net beds or is it maintaining the current?
Speaker 4: It's maintaining the current.
Speaker 6: Got it. Thank you.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. All right. Thank you. Counts member. All right. Madam Secretary, if you please put the next item on our screens, which is Resolution 99. And Councilwoman CdeBaca, this is yours as well. Go ahead with your questions.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Mr. Morel. Here.
Speaker 4: It's. Good evening. Members of Council Greg Moreau, director of Community Corrections.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. Wanted to make sure that we get on record the timeline for the RFP that should be coming that should be should have accompanied the vote, but will be bumped out a little bit. Can you tell us about when the door for new providers in the community correction space is going to be open?
Speaker 4: Yes, Councilwoman. So we are currently working with.
Speaker 10: Purchasing and hope to have a procured procurement issued.
Speaker 4: In early March.
Speaker 6: Awesome. And are we? So with this extension of the contract and the future opening of the door for new providers. What what will allow us to determine when we end our services with core civic. If we don't need to go all the way to to the date that this extends it to.
Speaker 4: So what this extension.
Speaker 10: Does is give us the time to operate and sustain the current model. If through the procurement process, new providers are identified, as soon as they can step into that space, we can start to evaluate the need for beds at course.
Speaker 4: Of moving forward.
Speaker 6: And can you again on the record explain the ratchet down of beds that will happen before this contract ends?
Speaker 4: If I understand the question correctly so, the current.
Speaker 10: Average daily population is roughly 330 individuals. That number will extend through October 1st if this amendment is approved and then the cap will be at 250. Through June of 21. At some point on the back end of the contract will continue to ratchet down because you can't just get from 250 to 0 overnight.
Speaker 6: Awesome. Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, Councilmember Ortega.
Speaker 7: Don't leave. So I just want to clarify a couple of things. So we've already purchased Tully Hall. And I just want to. Just in my mind, be clear about the process that Councilwoman CdeBaca asked about if that has anything to do with Tori Hall or if that is specific to the facilities that Core Civic is currently in by extending their contracts to remain there through the end of next year.
Speaker 4: So Councilwoman Ortega, the in the procurement process will seek to.
Speaker 10: Identify a new provider or providers of services for the newly hot site. In addition, we'll be looking for providers to submit proposals that would say we can.
Speaker 4: Offer these services at this location.
Speaker 10: So I think the locations of those new proposals are we don't know yet. We need to wait until those proposals come in.
Speaker 7: So the assumption is they'll come. Their proposals will include their own locations. No, not not these current properties that core civic is in.
Speaker 4: So their locations could include their own properties.
Speaker 10: You know, per the letter that was attached to this request.
Speaker 4: Of course, Civic has agreed to work with the city and give the city.
Speaker 10: You know, the first right to to negotiate for the lease or sale of their properties.
Speaker 7: But tonight's bill only deals with the operations, not any acquisition whatsoever. That is properties. Okay. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Councilmember Councilmember Kenny.
Speaker 8: Thank you. I actually just wanted to say thank you. During committee, we asked for some assurances that we'd have a chance to discuss the buildings should that opportunity arise and making sure they weren't going to be sold. And you provided such a letter and the company signed that letter as well. And so I just want to thank you for for providing that reassurance. And I'm going to be comfortable moving this forward tonight because I believe it's critical. I'll refer to my comments in committee about the critical nature of continuing to allow placements to continue and not losing important space. And we keep saying beds, it's really people. So to not lose people who may have to spend more time incarcerated before or may be released without supervision. Right. That's what community corrections is. It's extra supervision and support. So whether you care about the person, whether you care about the community, in both cases, I think there's some benefits to being able to continue this capacity without interruption. So I'll be very happy to see this go forward tonight. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Councilmember Councilmember Hines.
Speaker 10: Thank you, Mr. President. So I'm not in the committee that is actively working on this. I'm not on safety either, the committee that this went through. So I apologize for my ignorance. You mentioned 250 beds by 2021. Our goal is not to exit completely by 2020 or June of 2021. Our goal is not to exit completely by June of 2021.
Speaker 4: So Councilman, if I can clarify.
Speaker 10: So the 250 is the number of placements or individuals that we would have downsized from 330.
Speaker 4: By October 1st.
Speaker 10: Through the rest of that period, which would end June 2021. Our goal would be to reach zero. Okay. Thank you. And I would echo Councilman, can you just point about these are people and we want to make sure that we protect people in our community. And so thank you for that clarification. I was concerned there for a minute, but I just misunderstood. Thank you, Mr. President.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Councilmember Councilmember said, can you back up?
Speaker 6: Yes, thank you. Just a request for our team. I don't think that the letter has been uploaded into the public facing system. And so if we could get that in there, I think it is very important to the public to have access to that.
