Sittenfeld June 24, 2019 Councilmember MOTION WE MOVE that the City of Cincinnati's employees are our most valuable resource, and their safety is a paramount priority. WE MOVE that, following the tragic line-of-duty death of Mr. Leroy Garrison, Jr, the City Manager shall pursue the following steps: - Collect and provide data comparing line-of-duty fatalities in Cincinnati over the most recent 5-year and 10- year periods to our peer cities, adjusted for the size of each city's respective workforce. This data may also be broken down by public safety employees vs. non-public safety employees. ~ As has been done during the ongoing chapter of reform for the Emergency Communications Center, prepare to report to City Council each week at the regular full Council meetings with any updates on employee safety, specifically in the Department of Public Services. Further, if significant findings emerge from the PERRP investigation, or any of the City’s internal investigations, those findings should be shared - as allowable - in real-time, rather than waiting until the conclusion of the investigations, so that related reforms can also be implemented in real-time. = Do not re-initiate non-emergency Electrical Maintenance work out of the Department of Public Services without first consulting with and informing the City Couneil - and only upon clear and evident proof that workers have been issued OSHA approved and recommended Personal Protective Equipment, including work clothing and tools. - Work collaboratively with the Collective Bargaining Units on the establishment of a standing Employee Safety Task Force. - Shift certain service-delivery functions to within a more appropriate City Department so as to provide the best possible supervisory oversight - Seek assistance from outside entities in the industry to ensure best-practice safety training for our ‘Councilmember P.G.
