Richard J. Berry

Last updated

In 2009, Berry decided to run for Mayor of Albuquerque. He won the election with 44% of the popular vote. He defeated two Democrats: incumbent Mayor Martin Chávez (35%) and State Senator Richard Romero (21%). [7]

Berry ran for re-election to a second term in 2013 [8] [9] and won with 69% of the vote, defeating Democrat Pete Dinelli and Republican Paul Heh. [10]

National leadership

Berry served as the Chairman of the US Conference of Mayors Metro Economies Committee, [11] as well as an elected member of the Advisory Board. [12] In addition, he served as the Chairman of the Community Leaders of America (CLA) from 2013–2015.

Budgets

As Mayor, Berry reduced government spending by over $140 million, while keeping services to the community intact and without layoffs. [13] In addition, Berry has reduced the size of city government by over 300 positions, through attrition and vacancies. This attrition was made up partially by the 8% reduction in the city's police force during which time the city experienced a spike in violent crimes. [14] Without raising taxes, he has increased the city's operating reserve percentage. [15]

Berry initiated an "Efficiency, Stewardship, and Accountability" program that encourages city employees to report areas of inefficiency or waste in resources, offering a cash incentive to employees to encourage participation. [16] By 2015, the program had saved over $20 million.

Other innovations included switching to one provider for insurance, saving of more than $4 million. The city has maintained its "AAA" S&P bond rating. [17]

Education

One of Berry's core focus areas is augmenting[ clarification needed ] the existing educational system with smart public sector investments. One way he is doing so is through a program called Running Start for Careers, [18] a nationally recognized apprenticeship and education program. This public-private partnership allows high school students to enroll in a semester-long, dual-credit career exploration class held at industry sites for work-and-learn programs. Participants have higher graduation rates, and the program has served over 1000 local students and the program has maintained a 98% graduation rate. Running Start for Careers was named one of the Top 25 "Innovations in Government" by the Harvard Ash Center in May 2015. [19]

Berry has also committed $100,000 a year to fund six "Homework Diner" locations. Homework Diner is a grassroots, community-led program that provides after-school tutoring and meal assistance to families. [20] The program addresses two common barriers to education – hunger and lack of parental involvement. Homework Diner provides free nutritious meals prepared by culinary students from the Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), and educators stay late to tutor children and help them with their homework. It brings families together around a table with a meal and involves parents in helping their children with their academics. The program's inter-generational approach also includes GED courses for parents who attend.

Berry announced that the city will provide approximately $115,000 for an International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Sandia High School, the first program of its kind in the local public school district. The IB diploma program is a world-recognized college prep program for juniors and seniors based on rigorous academic standards. Qualified students from across Albuquerque will be encouraged to participate. APS expects IB to be offered to a junior class of 100-150 students beginning with the 2013-2014 school year. [21]

Another initiative Berry put into action is TalentABQ, which helps people gain the certifications they need to show prospective employers that they have the skills to do the job and improve productivity in their businesses. The program tests people for free at 35 locations around the City of Albuquerque. In the last two years 14,000 people have decided to be tested to see what job they would be best at, nearly 42,000 assessments have been taken. The city is working with 250 businesses to go into skills based hiring. The City of Albuquerque has 622 people through TalentABQ and the skills-based hiring.

Social initiatives

In 2011 Berry launched a homelessness aid initiative, called Albuquerque Heading Home. [22] This program provides chronically homeless, medically vulnerable individuals with housing through partnerships with local service providers. Since 2011, 646 individuals and families have been housed through the program. A study by the University of New Mexico found[ when? ] that it was 31% more cost-effective to house chronically homeless, medically-vulnerable individuals through the program than to let them remain on the streets. [23]

In August 2013, Berry announced a pay equity taskforce to address gender-based wage and salary inequality. [24] As a result of task force recommendations, in May 2015 the City Council passed a bill supported by Berry that gave incentives to companies bidding for city contracts that can prove that they pay women within 10% of what they pay men in comparable jobs. [25]

In 2015, Berry launched the There's A Better Way campaign. The initiative helps to eradicate homelessness in the Albuquerque area. With the help of St. Martin's Hospitality Center, a van goes out in the morning picks up panhandlers and homeless people. They pay the individuals $9 an hour, give them lunch, and then at the end of the day go back to St. Martin's and get invited to engage into programs that may help them to end their homelessness. To date, about 1,200 day jobs have been provided and over 180 people have been connected with some kind of permanent employment opportunities. Through the program about 100,000 pounds of trash and weeds have been cleaned up from about 310 city blocks.

Capital improvements

Berry's administration completed the $93 million Paseo del Norte and I-25 interchange improvement project. This critical project is shortening commute times for over 56 million drivers a year and is estimated to bring nearly $3 billion in economic opportunity to Albuquerque in the coming decades. [26]

Transparency

A leader in government transparency, Berry also launched ABQ-View. It allows citizens to easily access city spending data, employee salaries, vendor contracts, capital projects, audits, internal investigations, budget trending, travel expenses, and political contributions. This led to the City of Albuquerque to receive an A+ rating from the Sunshine Review for transparency in both 2011 and 2012. [27]

To encourage city employees to cut spending and waste, Berry created the Efficiency, Stewardship and Accountability Award. This program allows employees to submit ideas for saving the city money in their own departments. If the idea results in actual savings, the employee's department is eligible for an efficiency bonus. The citizens of Albuquerque have saved over $1.4 million, much of it recurring. A recent ESA[ who? ] example involved identifying annual savings on cell phones of $344,000. [28]

Recognitions

Under Mayor Berry, Albuquerque:

Public safety

Berry's office claims that by stepping up community policing efforts in conjunction with smart policing technology Albuquerque has seen its crime rate drop to the lowest the city has seen in 20 years. Homicide totals, robberies, burglaries, auto theft, and property crime are all down since Berry took office, according to 2012 statistics from the Albuquerque Police Department. [38] However, media reports contradict some of these statements, with some reports showing an overall rise in violent crime and property crime from 2010 onwards, 2014 ranking as the most violent year for the last five years. [39] [40]

Berry and then-Police Chief Raymond Schultz launched a new initiative in 2012 aimed to get more recruits into the police academy. "We are looking for the best and brightest," Berry said; "We believe these new incentives will attract some of the best law enforcement recruits in our region." The advertising campaign was called, "My Mommy and Daddy Are Heroes". [41] However, those recruiting efforts have largely been unsuccessful. APD continues to suffer from a significant shortage of new officers and difficulty attracting qualified recruits, as of 2015. [42] [43] [44] Berry has defended APD in several shootings, causing many protests in the city. [45] Berry's platform for police reform and the department's lack of transparency have been met with national scrutiny and criticism. [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57]

2014 report on the Albuquerque Police Department

Despite the Albuquerque Police Department's focus on the drop in crime rates, a 2014 Justice Department investigation into APD's practices resulted in a report [58] citing numerous violations of individuals' constitutional rights and finding that the "department engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force during the course of arrests and other detentions in violation of the Fourth Amendment and Section 14141." [59]

The DOJ report includes specific examples of excessive and unnecessary use of force, [60] from a random sample of 200 force reports during Mayor Berry's term between 2009–2013 and includes recommendations for revising department policies and practices [61] The report was submitted to Mayor Berry, APD Chief Gordon Eden, and Albuquerque City Attorney David Tourek on April 10, 2014. [62]

The report also notes that "Albuquerque police officers also often use less-lethal force in an unconstitutional manner" and that "The use of excessive force by APD officers is not isolated or sporadic. The pattern or practice of excessive force stems from systemic deficiencies in oversight, training, and policy. Chief among these deficiencies is the department's failure to implement an objective and rigorous internal accountability system. Force incidents are not properly investigated, documented, or addressed with corrective measures." [63]

As of May 2015, more than a year after the DOJ report, APD's website does not outline any specific policy changes, or otherwise respond to the report, although it does provide a link. [64]

Personal life

Berry is an Eagle Scout, participating with his son who is also an Eagle Scout. Berry received the Silver Beaver Award from the Boy Scouts of America for his work as a Scout leader who has made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the council.[ citation needed ]

He enjoys outdoor activities with his family including, hunting and fishing, snowboarding, water skiing, and other outdoor sports. Berry lettered in track & field while at the University of New Mexico. He participates in community and philanthropic events. [2] He is a Roman Catholic.[ citation needed ]
