Discussion and/or Action Regarding Annual Review and Proposed Amended Contract of City Manager Ryann Juden. (For Possible Action)

 

City Manager Juden stated the year really began on March 13, 2020 with the declaration of the pandemic emergency. He stated that the City took a two-pronged approach to attack the issues resulting from the pandemic: healthcare and economic impacts. He stressed that the City lead the way regionally by working with counterparts and other agencies to coordinate responses for success.

City Mansger Juden went through the City’s organization chart by department and by department director and spoke of their accomplishments. He shared how all departments worked and continue to work collaboratively to solve problems and provide services. He stated that they are what makes management look good.

City Manager Juden shared that the reason the City has lead throughout the pandemic is because he and his staff always anticipate what would be needed and made contingencies to address the issues at hand before the issue emerged. He said that the City was contacted by many other agencies in order to them copy and learn from the City. He stated staff’s flexible ability to respond quickly and accurately set the City in the best possible position given the circumstances. He said this style of leadership was pushed by the City Council and thanked them for their support.

City Manager Juden thanked his entire team for their efforts and ability to work within a constantly changing environment and as dictated by the pandemic.

Mayor Lee said he appreciated Mr. Juden’s ability to allow the City team to bloom and grow. He stated City Manager was a great leader and added that Councilwoman Goynes-Brown has been the VIP.

Mayor Lee and all Council members shared examples of how City Manager built the organization structure that has been so successful before and during the pandemic. They praised him for his collaborative style and for working with the bargaining units. Mayor and Council noted that a raise would be well deserved, but that given the current economy that would not be possible now. They indicated that it could be possible in the future. Mayor and Council expressed a desire to extend City Manager Juden’s contract for three years.

Presentation on the Potential Benefits of a Community Court Diversion Program to Increase Rehabilitation and Reduce Recidivism in the City of North Las Vegas (Citywide) (For Possible Action)

 

City Manager Juden introduced Court Administrator Cindy Marshal. He said that the Municipal Court has done a tremendous job during the pandemic and noted that the Court does not fall under the City Manager’s office and is a separate management structure.

City Manager Juden spoke of the Council’s vision for the future. He described how the Community Corrections Center was brought to fruition using an innovative approach and stated that tonight’s discussion is to get direction from Council on the need for and the creation of a Community Court Diversion Program. He specifically wanted Council to articulate which style of program they preferred and what the goalposts would be for success in accomplishing Council’s vision for the new program.

Court Administrator Marshall and Court Clerk Supervisor Tellez described the types of programs that others have instituted and the benefits of those programs. In short, Ms. Marshall stated that there are some offenders who repeatedly are convicted, jailed, and fined, but that the underlying reason for the commission of their crimes is not truly addressed. She stated that instead of incarceration, a community court diversion program would use a team approach to determine what the underlying causes are and develop a plan to address the issue. She stated that if the plan for an individual would not be successful, then the offender would go back into the system for incarceration and fines.

City Manager Juden noted that there could be cost savings associated with the program and they discussed the potential to receive grant dollars as well. Court Administrator Marshall stated that this approach removes the adversarial nature from the process and the goal is to keep people from committing repeated crimes. She stressed the program would look at underlying issues, like homelessness, addictions, and veteran trauma on an offender by offender basis and determine the best services to provide assistance. She noted that many of the relationships and connections necessary to support a program like this are already in place in the Community Corrections Center. She said the program by design is not just a court. Instead, she said the court, law enforcement, the City Attorney’s Criminal Division, and therapeutic specialists would work together to ensure the best possible outcomes for offenders.

Mayor and Council discussed the idea of adding a new judge to support the program; the need to ensure there is no territorialism between judges; how the new program would work with the existing court; and how the chief or presiding judge would be determined. Court Administrator Marshall said a big first step could be the adoption of court rules drafted for court and later approved by the Supreme Court. She added that executing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the City and the court would be good as well. She noted that the Cities of Las Vegas and Henderson have MOUs with their courts to address many of the concerns expressed by Council and Mr. Juden.

Mayor and Council discussed an expansive program with a permanent judge in place. Court Administrator Marshal thanked Council for considering this program, stated she would be delighted and tickled if those who are marginalized or are indigent would get help soon. City Manager Juden stated staff would bring back a recommendation to Council at the next meeting based on the direction given.
