Ms. McKoy and Mr. King provided an overview on Mississauga’s Black Community Engagement (BCE). They noted the process, recommendation types, guiding principles, support, the approach, and timeline.

Members of the Committee spoke to the matter and applauded the initiative.  Councillor Mullin requested that staff report back with tangible measurements.

Ms. McKoy responded to comments from the Committee.

Public Question Period and Item 10.1 were brought forward for discussion. Item 10.1 was voted on following the discussion.

 

Larry Lindsay, Resident inquired about Item 10.1 - Black Community Engagement Report – “First Steps: A Community-Driven Report on Making Mississauga More Equitable for Black Communities” and asked the following questions;

“In section 7.1 and 7.2, there isn't clear direction for next steps to ensure there is proper representation on the police services board to tackle issues facing the Black community and topics mentioned in section 7.5.  With the fast approaching provincial election and the municipal election later this year, will council propose a motion to work on providing a board skills matrix and possibly a list of potential Black candidates to support recommendation 12.1 of the Tulloch report?”

“For section 8, with Mississauga Corporate Security, there is no similar recommendation on oversight and transparency on the usage of new technology and AI as discussed in section 7.  Can you elaborate on this omission in the report and will there be an amendment to ensure there is proper oversight for the use of new technologies by Mississauga's corporate police force?”

Ms. McKoy responded that the AI (Artificial Intelligence) and policing narrative is a consultation process which will entail The Black Caucus working with all communities across Mississauga and potential expansion to the Region of Peel to discuss the principles of using the AI and new technology. She further responded that in relation to Corporate Security, there will be a process of putting together the right key performance indicators and managing race-based data. Ms. McKoy also spoke to the Police Services Board and noted that jurisdiction falls under other levels of government and that the City of Mississauga will act as an advocate.
