Council President Dave Thune
and Members of the City Council
3rd Floor City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota
Dear Council President Thune and Members of the City Council:
RE: Veto of Council File 97-184
This is to inform you that I have vetoed Council File 97-184 (File 97-184) adopted on
February 26, 1997 under Section 6.08 of the City Charter and am returning the original
to the Council Secretary. File 97-184 seeks to create a position in the Councii Research
Office for anti-gun coordination acfavities at a cost of $50,000. In consultation with
Police Chief Finney, I vetoed File 97-1&4 for.the following reasons:
First, I believe strongly that any and all City anti-gun activities must be administered by
the Police Department, which is the Department accountable for providing public safety
services in the City. The Police Departtnent has an aggressive anti-gun program, which
includes education and enforcement, and coordinates its efforts with other enforcement
agencies and community groups which are concerned with gun violence. See the
attached memo from Chief Finney. To establish another layer of bureaucracy at the City
Council would detract from the very goal File 97-184 is designed to achieve.
Second, if additionai resources are to be devoted to reducing gun violence, those
resources should not be spent on a position devoted to "coordination" in Council
Research. If these resources were provided to the Police Department we could obtain
both better coordination and enforcement. More enforcement is the key to reducing gun
violence in this City. Chief Finney has indicated that $50,000 could be used to assign a
sworn officer to help develop the "Gunstoppers" program which Chief Pinney is
developing and which I announced in my State of the City address and assist in
community outreach and coordination of gun violence programs.

Third, Council File 98-184 violates the separafion of powers between the executive and
legislauve branches of City govemment as set forth in the City Charter. As the opinion
from the City Attorney of March 5, 1997 explains, the execurive branch, which
includes the Police Department, is provided the authority to coordinate, implement and
administer programs under the Charter. The legislative branch has the power establish,
fund, and provide oversight to programs administered by the executive branch.
Please be assured that I share the objectives set forth in Council File 98-184 and remain
willing to work with the Council to achieve those objectives in a manner that involves
and is accountable to the Council. However, our actions must be consistent with sound
law enforcement policy and the City Charter.

�ii� �.��,� O�Fir�
The Saint Paul Police Department has a comprehensive anti-gun program in place that is
continually enhanced as resources become available. The following pieces are already in place:
� Over 200 street officers have been trained in gun interdiction teciuriques including
interviewing, search and seizure, and data collection.
� The department has a computerized "gun file" available to a11 officers, ancluding patrol
officers on their mobile data terminals, that is updated daily with information on the
vehicles, addresses and descriptions of people suspected of illegally carrying guns.
� An investigator in the Homicide Unit is assigned full-time to £ollowing up on all cases
involving fireanns requesYS. He works with prosecutors to get enhanced penalties for
persons charged and develops seazch warrants whenever possible to seize additional
guns.
� The department has an analysis prograin that includes the fime and location of all "shots
fired" calls. The program has mapping ability to allow district and unit commanders to
graphically display problem areas. This data is sent to the mayor every week in
suminary fo�n.
� The deparlment has an excellent worlang relationship with citizens that results in a
steady stream oftips on illegal gun activity. While the sources ofthis information
naturally must be protected, this is a valuable resource that results in many arrests and
�� - lY`�
gun seizures.
� The FORCE Unit has recovered hundreds of n]pS since its inception. Violent crinuuai
activity is one of the azeas where FORCE concentrates as unit personnel work with the
over 1,000 active block clubs.
� The DARE, Officer Friendiy, and Cops'N'Kids programs all have anri-violence e]ements
in their curricuium.
� The school liaison officers have developed a relationship with students and staff in
schools that has virivally eliminated "guns in the schools" as a local issue.
� The department will be adding elements to its anri-gun efforts in the coming weeks.
"Gunstoppers" will be a reward program that offers $100 to anyone that provides
information that results in the arrest of a suspect and the recovery of a gun.
� The department recently entered into an agreement with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Fireanns whereby ATF wi111race the source of every one of the over 700 guns the
department wi11 recover this year. An analysis of this information will indicate if legal
"straw purchases" are a problem source of guns for juveniles and gangsters in our city.

please feel free to contact me at any time.

Anfi-Gun Violence Program Plan Outline
Based on Recommendafions from Community Meeting
Program Goal
The following questions need to be answered in order to ensure responsible and effective use of
funding:
What do we want to have accomplished?
How will we know if we have reached our goal?
When do we want to have reached our goal?
What should we measure?
What type of violence are we going to focus on?
Who do we target?
How should we focus our efforts? Intervention? Prevention? Suppression?
We need to cteate a universally acceptable goal statement: To elirninate Yhe likelihood of being a
victim of gun-related crime especially crime perpetrated by young people and to increase the
perception of safer aommunities.
Objective
To eliminate the incidents of gun-related violence commrtted by the City's young people.
Approaches
Make the community process larger and more encompassing by developing a holistic unified
approach. Strong partnerships and collaborations need to be developed between Yhe City, the
community, schoois, businesses, churches and the county. A project manager shoutd be placed in
charge of the administration of all identified information concerning ant-gun programs.
Key Issues for Plan DevelopmenY
Accountability needs to be held at all levels, but primarily at the following two:
1) Community organizations that are receiving city funds for anti-gun violence programs
need to be accountable to the project manager; and
2) the projeci manager, who will be responsible for assembling, disseminating and
distributing anti-gun violence program information, should be held accountable for the
timely release and updating of such information to all interested parties.
Strategic Plan
Keep the plan focused. The effort can become diluted and loose focus if the attempt is made to
l�-i�4r
become all inclusive and do too much. The funding should be channeled in such a way so it
operates as a catalyst to inspire involvement by others.
Three steps are necessary to develop the parameters of an anti-gun violence action plan for the
City:
1) Identify proven programs from around the country and the City.
2) Identify our final goals.
3) Match the proven programs to our goals.
The project manager will help develop a strategic plan. The strategic plan needs to have built into
it additional phases for momentum and producing results. In addition, we need to identify the
essential attributes for programs with a proven track record. This will help to improve the
likelihood of the continuation of the programs and ensure these successful proa ams receive the
ailocated resources naeded for continued success.
At the time the plan is to be put into action, the process can only work when all the successful
efforts are created and combined. In order to see results the means of verification need to be
identified with verifiable indicators. Programs need to be evaluated for their responsiveness to the
issues presented by youth and the community.

charge of the administration of all identified information concerning ant-gun programs.
Key Issues for Plan DevelopmenY
Accountability needs to be held at all levels, but primarily at the following two:
1) Community organizations that are receiving city funds for anti-gun violence programs
need to be accountable to the project manager; and
2) the projeci manager, who will be responsible for assembling, disseminating and
distributing anti-gun violence program information, should be held accountable for the
timely release and updating of such information to all interested parties.
Strategic Plan
Keep the plan focused. The effort can become diluted and loose focus if the attempt is made to
l�-i�4r
become all inclusive and do too much. The funding should be channeled in such a way so it
operates as a catalyst to inspire involvement by others.
Three steps are necessary to develop the parameters of an anti-gun violence action plan for the
City:
1) Identify proven programs from around the country and the City.
2) Identify our final goals.
3) Match the proven programs to our goals.
The project manager will help develop a strategic plan. The strategic plan needs to have built into
it additional phases for momentum and producing results. In addition, we need to identify the
essential attributes for programs with a proven track record. This will help to improve the
likelihood of the continuation of the programs and ensure these successful proa ams receive the
ailocated resources naeded for continued success.
At the time the plan is to be put into action, the process can only work when all the successful
efforts are created and combined. In order to see results the means of verification need to be
identified with verifiable indicators. Programs need to be evaluated for their responsiveness to the
issues presented by youth and the community.

Council President Dave Thune
and Members of the City Council
3rd Floor City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota
Dear Council President Thune and Members of the City Council:
RE: Veto of Council File 97-184
This is to inform you that I have vetoed Council File 97-184 (File 97-184) adopted on
February 26, 1997 under Section 6.08 of the City Charter and am returning the original
to the Council Secretary. File 97-184 seeks to create a position in the Councii Research
Office for anti-gun coordination acfavities at a cost of $50,000. In consultation with
Police Chief Finney, I vetoed File 97-1&4 for.the following reasons:
First, I believe strongly that any and all City anti-gun activities must be administered by
the Police Department, which is the Department accountable for providing public safety
services in the City. The Police Departtnent has an aggressive anti-gun program, which
includes education and enforcement, and coordinates its efforts with other enforcement
agencies and community groups which are concerned with gun violence. See the
attached memo from Chief Finney. To establish another layer of bureaucracy at the City
Council would detract from the very goal File 97-184 is designed to achieve.
Second, if additionai resources are to be devoted to reducing gun violence, those
resources should not be spent on a position devoted to "coordination" in Council
Research. If these resources were provided to the Police Department we could obtain
both better coordination and enforcement. More enforcement is the key to reducing gun
violence in this City. Chief Finney has indicated that $50,000 could be used to assign a
sworn officer to help develop the "Gunstoppers" program which Chief Pinney is
developing and which I announced in my State of the City address and assist in
community outreach and coordination of gun violence programs.

Third, Council File 98-184 violates the separafion of powers between the executive and
legislauve branches of City govemment as set forth in the City Charter. As the opinion
from the City Attorney of March 5, 1997 explains, the execurive branch, which
includes the Police Department, is provided the authority to coordinate, implement and
administer programs under the Charter. The legislative branch has the power establish,
fund, and provide oversight to programs administered by the executive branch.
Please be assured that I share the objectives set forth in Council File 98-184 and remain
willing to work with the Council to achieve those objectives in a manner that involves
and is accountable to the Council. However, our actions must be consistent with sound
law enforcement policy and the City Charter.

�ii� �.��,� O�Fir�
The Saint Paul Police Department has a comprehensive anti-gun program in place that is
continually enhanced as resources become available. The following pieces are already in place:
� Over 200 street officers have been trained in gun interdiction teciuriques including
interviewing, search and seizure, and data collection.
� The department has a computerized "gun file" available to a11 officers, ancluding patrol
officers on their mobile data terminals, that is updated daily with information on the
vehicles, addresses and descriptions of people suspected of illegally carrying guns.
� An investigator in the Homicide Unit is assigned full-time to £ollowing up on all cases
involving fireanns requesYS. He works with prosecutors to get enhanced penalties for
persons charged and develops seazch warrants whenever possible to seize additional
guns.
� The department has an analysis prograin that includes the fime and location of all "shots
fired" calls. The program has mapping ability to allow district and unit commanders to
graphically display problem areas. This data is sent to the mayor every week in
suminary fo�n.
� The deparlment has an excellent worlang relationship with citizens that results in a
steady stream oftips on illegal gun activity. While the sources ofthis information
naturally must be protected, this is a valuable resource that results in many arrests and
�� - lY`�
gun seizures.
� The FORCE Unit has recovered hundreds of n]pS since its inception. Violent crinuuai
activity is one of the azeas where FORCE concentrates as unit personnel work with the
over 1,000 active block clubs.
� The DARE, Officer Friendiy, and Cops'N'Kids programs all have anri-violence e]ements
in their curricuium.
� The school liaison officers have developed a relationship with students and staff in
schools that has virivally eliminated "guns in the schools" as a local issue.
� The department will be adding elements to its anri-gun efforts in the coming weeks.
"Gunstoppers" will be a reward program that offers $100 to anyone that provides
information that results in the arrest of a suspect and the recovery of a gun.
� The department recently entered into an agreement with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Fireanns whereby ATF wi111race the source of every one of the over 700 guns the
department wi11 recover this year. An analysis of this information will indicate if legal
"straw purchases" are a problem source of guns for juveniles and gangsters in our city.
If you have any questions or comments regazding the police departmenY s anti-gun programs,
please feel free to contact me at any time.

Anfi-Gun Violence Program Plan Outline
Based on Recommendafions from Community Meeting
Program Goal
The following questions need to be answered in order to ensure responsible and effective use of
funding:
What do we want to have accomplished?
How will we know if we have reached our goal?
When do we want to have reached our goal?
What should we measure?
What type of violence are we going to focus on?
Who do we target?
How should we focus our efforts? Intervention? Prevention? Suppression?
We need to cteate a universally acceptable goal statement: To elirninate Yhe likelihood of being a
victim of gun-related crime especially crime perpetrated by young people and to increase the
perception of safer aommunities.
Objective
To eliminate the incidents of gun-related violence commrtted by the City's young people.
Approaches
Make the community process larger and more encompassing by developing a holistic unified
approach. Strong partnerships and collaborations need to be developed between Yhe City, the
community, schoois, businesses, churches and the county. A project manager shoutd be placed in
charge of the administration of all identified information concerning ant-gun programs.
Key Issues for Plan DevelopmenY
Accountability needs to be held at all levels, but primarily at the following two:
1) Community organizations that are receiving city funds for anti-gun violence programs
need to be accountable to the project manager; and
2) the projeci manager, who will be responsible for assembling, disseminating and
distributing anti-gun violence program information, should be held accountable for the
timely release and updating of such information to all interested parties.
Strategic Plan
Keep the plan focused. The effort can become diluted and loose focus if the attempt is made to
l�-i�4r
become all inclusive and do too much. The funding should be channeled in such a way so it
operates as a catalyst to inspire involvement by others.
Three steps are necessary to develop the parameters of an anti-gun violence action plan for the
City:
1) Identify proven programs from around the country and the City.
2) Identify our final goals.
3) Match the proven programs to our goals.
The project manager will help develop a strategic plan. The strategic plan needs to have built into
it additional phases for momentum and producing results. In addition, we need to identify the
essential attributes for programs with a proven track record. This will help to improve the
likelihood of the continuation of the programs and ensure these successful proa ams receive the
ailocated resources naeded for continued success.
At the time the plan is to be put into action, the process can only work when all the successful
efforts are created and combined. In order to see results the means of verification need to be
identified with verifiable indicators. Programs need to be evaluated for their responsiveness to the
issues presented by youth and the community.
