Champaign City District 1 Council Member William Kyles e-newsletter

Government

Note From Councilmember: It's been officially 1 year of service in office! One valuable lesson that I have learned is that citizens want to be informed. Thus, this is how the weekly newsletter started. My vision is that this newsletter will be a tool to spread information on current events, meetings, progress throughout the city - and that communities will begin to become more knowledgeable about each other. There was so much information that I had for you in this week, that I had to wait to the next letter to send to you. I anticipate the next opportunity to network and communicate with all of you.

Good morning citizens,

Today, I wanted to take the opportunity to focus on police-community relations. Besides developing economic strategies for my district, it's a top priority of mines to see that we effectively progress the police-community relations citywide. I don't think that this is an issue that can be fixed overnight, but there are re-occurring themes that happen each year. Each incident causes stress on the Champaign community physically, mentally, and financially, I am going to get the dollar amount of this incident and what it has cost the taxpayer with just this incident. The impact is mind boggling. Thus, for me, as an elected leader, to accept normal results would be a failure of mines. It's too easy for me point the finger at the City, or the Police Department, or the community. We've done that way too long and found that nothing gets resolved in the end by finger-pointing.

What has been done?

Six initiative update: The Community and police six initiatives can be viewed at http://ci.champaign.il.us/departments/city-manager/6-initiatives/. Looking at the initiatives, the use of force policy has been revised and implemented. The second initiative is in progress. The third initiative is almost complete. The internal investigations are almost complete with the Justice Department being the final report. The fourth and fifth initiative are in progress. The sixth initiative is still in progress. Out of all of the initiatives, personally I am most excited about the sixth one. A community forum sub group meets once a month to plan, discuss, and strategies on how we can use the info from the forum to make a better Champaign community.

City Manager has made decision on discipline for Officer Norbits. Statement can be viewed at http://ci.champaign.il.us/news/general-news/city-manager-makes-decision-regarding-employee-discipline-in-vine-street-incident/

Internal Investigation can be viewed at http://ci.champaign.il.us/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Vine_Street_Internal_Investigation.pdf.

Champaign Urbana Citizens for Peace and Justice have presented 3 proposals that I think hold a lot of weight. Police contract negotiations are coming up. If you support any of these three proposals, please feel free to forward your support (or any suggestion) to your council member or to city staff @ hr@ci.champaign.il.us. See proposal in attachments.

How has the community become more involved?

CCAP meets every 4th Monday from 3- 4:30pm at the Douglas Annex. This group meets once a month, with their main focus being how we move forward with better police-community relations. The public does have an opportunity to provide public input at the beginning of these meetings.

North End Breakfast Club meets 2nd and 4th Saturday from 7am-10am at the
Boys and Girl's Club. This is a group where men get together and fellowship over breakfast. Afterward they discuss current issues in the community. This is a very positive group and open to men (young and old) to participate.

Brother's Let's Talk meets every 4th Sunday at the Boys and Girl's Club from
4pm- 6pm. Seon Williams leads these one one sessions where men mentor boys. Young men are allowed to vent, present their problems and have an opportunity to gain wisdom from older men who have knowledge to give.

Motivating More Males meets every 1st Monday at rotating locations from
5:30pm- 7:30pm. This was a group started by the Peer Ambassadors and encourages males to come out and mentor young males.

Don Moyers Boys and Girl's Club has hosted forum after forum, with their last forum involving the Champaign Police Department. I encourage everyone to find a way to physically and financially support the club because they are doing a magnificent work for our kids all over the city.

ACCESS Group. I don't have the exact details of when this group regularly meets. However the county has received a SAMSHA grant which will soon be used to help provide mental health services to families and youth. They are required by the grant to do 1 year of planning and this is that year.

Champaign Police Department on many occasion have been volunteers and active participants in several forums and discussions over the past 6 months. I definitely appreciate their time and efforts that sometimes get missed.

Human Relations Commission meets every 1st Monday at 5:30pm in
the Council Chambers. A lot of issues and good conversation has come out of this commission in the past 6 months. I appreciate all of the work.

Neigbhorhood Services department just had a STARS award. As citizens' accomplishments are continued to be recognized, more people will see the appreciation and that does go a long way.

Neighborhood Impact. These are the meetings that we don't see, the good parenting that doesn't occur, the people that don't get credit or even look for credit for their accomplishments. I appreciate your individual works that help resolve a city issue.

What does our future look like? I feel positive about the future. Where I see the most need is in outdoor outreaches. The Police Department and community have a major opportunity to do something here. Also, we need a way to provide knowledge of our social services to the community. These two are huge. I look forward to working and hearing from all of you.

Until the next time,
CM Will Kyles

The summer is quickly approaching. I’d like to take advantage of this great weather and make the month of June all about spending time with constituents and learning what is important to you. If you would like to sit down over coffee and chat, please email me and we will work within our schedules to meet. Lastly, please feel free to send me events that you would like to be included in these newsletters. Your feedback is welcome. It is definitely a pleasure, an honor, a privilege to serve you on the Champaign City Council.

Special Note: Boys and Girls’ Club Needs Our Help: Due to shortages in funding by the state and a tough economic environment, the Boys and Girls’ Club is in jeopardy of closing. Besides the history that the Boys and Girls’ Club has in our community, it provides a safe haven for children to interact, grow, and develop. Without the club’s existence, children all over Champaign County are at risks of losing out on the social, education, and developmental skills that the club provides. The Boys and Girls Club needs your help. Donations can be made on-line at www.dmbgc-cu.org or contact the club at (217) 355-5437.

Seeking your input: What time should the Douglas Park close? Should it be closed at 9pm or should it be closed at the time of special activities? Currently the Park closes at 9pm or normal days. However there are days when the park has extra activities that run late after 9pm. This has caused some confusion in the past. Please advise.

Thank you all for allowing me to serve you. As many of you can tell, I have consolidated the newsletters considerably. I provide the same information. However, I use a lot of email links instead of attachments. This makes the email a lot smaller and was a result from feedback that I've received over the months. If there is anything else that I can do to improve this newsletter, please feel free to let me know.

Special Note: This week, I have specifically kept the newsletter short as to put more focus on tomorrow's study session. Specifically the item that I have received the a lot of conversation on over the last year is the Complaint Process. Most would agree that the complaint process needs to be improved. I would encourage you to read the proposed recommendations and then provide feedback. Tomorrow I anticipate that many will come out and speak on this item. However, I do encourage everyone to read the recommendations presented and then provide feedback.

Also, I do encourage you to take a look at the other two items as well: CU Scholar Program and Proposed Development at Curtis Road Interchange: Wellness at Prairie Village. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me or call me @ (217) 552-3625.

Note From Council Member: I have great pleasure in serving all of you in one way or another. I would like to use this week as a way to articulate the need for your physical involvement:

I am totally against the fact that teens have resorted to using violence as a form of entertainment. I do not support the "hunting" that is going on in campus. I encourage us as a city to come together and discourage these type of activities. Not only does this type of behavior impact the student (short and longterm), it impacts the person doing the crime as this is a felony. Once our young people get felonies, the road to repair is tough. I will work with anyone who has a solution to this issue. We cannot afford for students to be injured in the short term, but then damaged in the long term with a negative perspective on race. We cannot afford our young men to continue to make mistakes that jeopardize their futures. There is power in the police upholding the law, but there is also a power in a community's (all races working together) presence and concern over an issue in this critical state. Here are some ideas that I have:

A) On Saturday (Midnight Prayer) on campus corners
B) Community watch groups during the hours of 12-3
C) Patrols with the CAT team and police
D) Talking to teens that you know or can have a positive influence over to discourage this activity.

Together we can bring an end to this behavior on campus, but in other parts of the city where crime is an issue. Thank you for your time and help. Below is the rest of the newsletter.

Note from Council member: It is always an encouragement and satisfaction to send these weekly updates out. I enjoy the ability to present events and info that you all forward me throughout the week. I encourage you to forward this email to your social networks. One of the greatest opportunities that we have as a city is to continue to strengthen our communities and reach across street boundaries to resolve issues. It is the people that make up a community that give power and life to a city. In fact if you look throughout history, it is the community and the people therein that have helped nations deal with some of its toughest issues. I encourage you all to visit a part of town that you wouldn’t normally visit whether rich or poor. I encourage you to talk to a person that you may not have normally talked to and try to understand their ways. I look forward to the ideas that you will come up with that will continue to make this city great. All in all, a city is made up of neighborhoods, neighborhoods are made of blocks, blocks are made up of houses, houses are made up of people – and people must work together for ultimate success. As always please feel free to email me or contact me by phone at (217) 552-3625. Your input is welcome.

As community members get involved, the number of issues on campus is starting to decrease. I encourage more people to come out and discourage violence of any sort. It is a stretch, but 2 hours of your time from 1am - 3am could make a huge difference. Even more, if know any young people that may be involved in these acts, please educate them and discourage them from these activities. With the help of the police and working Together as a community, we can diffuse this issue.

Note from Council Member: I do believe that there is no greater time than now to get actively involved in the work of our city and various communities. This week marks the 1 year anniversary since the death of Kiwane Carrington. Kiwane left our city with a mission to do better, to try harder, and to build relationships for the betterment of our future. I have seen a rise in volunteerism and action from our citizens; City Council and staff that keep me hopeful that our city will move forward in helping all kids succeed. Although we may forever debate the facts of why Kiwane is no longer here with us, there is one fact that we cannot deny. The mission of raising healthy, productive children in this day and age is difficult and yet vital. The difficulties and pressures are seen and felt by every race, sex, and class. And the only way we come out situations like this is when we play our roles, whether big or small, collective or single to foster an environment where we can raise healthy, productive citizens. I encourage you to come out and help build a playground for kids at Hazel Park or participate in planting a tree at the Unity March in memory of Kiwane and all of the children that struggle and still struggle on daily basis to thrive. Maybe you have time to eat lunch with your child’s class or volunteer at a school. Or possibly say a prayer or be bold to build a relationship with someone you wouldn’t normally talk to. This week, I encourage you to exceed your expectations, and play your role, whether big or small, in helping children thrive. As always, please feel free to contact me by email or phone (217) 552-3625 with questions, concerns, feedback, etc. Thank you for allowing me to serve you.

Note From Council Member: I hope that you all are having a wonderful week or at least overcoming obstacles. As most of you who have been receiving this email for a while know, I am always trying to perfect the structure of the letter. To make things flow easier, I have highlighted the major categories in bold orange font. Some of the new subtitles are Champaign Library and Campus. I included the Champaign Library because I would like to promote reading especially amongst our grade school children. ISAT tests will be approaching us soon and I would like all schools to make AYP. I included Campus because campus is apart of the City of Champaign and I would like to help communicate ideas and events that happen both on campus and in town. As always, it is a pleasure to serve you. Please feel free to contact me via cell phone at (217) 552-3625 or by email. Have a great week!

Note from Council member: Welcome to another addition of the Weekly Newsletter. It is always a pleasure to research and present information from areas of the city. I have a few interesting highlights in this week’s update. I have included under City News a draft of Champaign Tomorrow. Please take a look at it and provide your feedback. Also, under City News, the city is hosting a Neighborhood Meeting for public input on whether or not the city should grant a liquor license to a local store owner in Pirtle’s Place. As you all know, the November Elections have just passed. Below are a list of names of the elected officials and the offices that each represents. Under Campus, I included a website on how our local university is trying to make a more inclusive campus (quite interesting). Lastly under the Events section, I would like to highlight today’s College workshop (covers financial aid, standardized tests, majors and topics, and courses a high school student should be taking if interested in attending college. I look forward to continuing to be able to serve you and for your input on how future newsletters should look. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by mail or phone (217) 552-3625.

This week, I decided to try something different. I would like to direct you all to my new website, www.willkyles.com. On the site, you will have an opportunity to blog, look at current events, view the agenda live, provide input on different subjects, write compliments, complaints, Facebook, Twitter, get important city numbers, etc. In the future, I will continue to send out a hard copy of the newsletter. Your feedback is encouraged and definitely welcome. In the end, I hope that this provides another way for citizens to be heard and engage in public dialogue. I thank you for all of your support and it is an honor to serve on City Council as the District 1 representative.

Note from Council member: I would like to thank you all for wanting to be informed and involved in city government and other activities. You all have made every hour invested in this newsletter well worth it. This newsletter has evolved over the last year, due to your feedback, from a letter to www.willkyles.com. One of your concerns was that the newsletter was so long that valuable information could be lost. Spreading the newsletter across a website has allowed me more flexibility to provide more information for a longer period of time and gives you the option to click and choose what you are most interested in. I am most excited about the social networks that will evolve from the small businesses in the featured business section. I am also excited about the Calender which allows us to know some of the most important meetings and we can began to plan ahead. Ultimately, my goal is to create a one stop online shop where you will have the ability to access a wide variety of information from one general location. I have the greatest job in the world and that is serving you. I wish you all an enjoyable holiday season! Please continue to provide feedback and concerns via email or telephone (217) 552-3625.

Thank you for your help and input in making these tough decisions. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by email or phone (217) 552-3625.

Note from Council member: BRRRRRR- it’s a cold Tuesday! Welcome to another addition of the Weekly Posts. I am especially excited about this issue. For the longest, citizens from all over the county have sent me flyers that were difficult to incorporate in my newsletter because of the size. Now you can visit http://www.willkyles.com/home/community-posts and see what’s going on in Champaign County . Thank you for sending me update and please continue to do so. I am also excited about education. This is the season for college both current and prospect students to apply for FASFA and scholarships. I have plenty of good info on scholarships at http://www.willkyles.com/home/community-posts. Please do not apply late. Financial aid is a time sensitive subject. Lastly, I encourage you to join the City Council tonight at our meeting. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email or phone (217) 552-3625.
