There were major developments from Tuesday night's Rochester City Council Meeting, with many related to the death of Daniel Prude and city policing.

After days of protest, Free the People Roc is claiming a victory Tuesday as city council also voted to repeal funding for a new police substation.

Nearly a month after it was voted in, Rochester City Council reversed course on a $16 million police substation on East Main Street, this after uproar over the death of Daniel Prude in police custody.

Council approved all measures involving an independent investigation into Prude's death. Council President Loretta Scott said Mayor Lovely Warren has expressed support for the council's plans for an investigation.

It also approved $300,000 toward mental health response.

"I do want to appreciate all of the council members for joining in pushing pause on as we have a lot of work to do to build back the trust right now, and this I think is a good time to press pause as we do that work," said Rochester City Councilmember Mitch Gruber.

Gruber said the space cannot be a hole in the community, and adding the city needs to put together a plan for the space.

In addition to the vote on repealing the funding for that substation, the council voted unanimously to move Family and Victims Services out of the police department, to the Department of Recreation and Youth Services.

"I think this will help us reach some greater needs of our citizens, especially does that have crisis issues and types of calls that we can begin to respond to on a much larger scale," said City Council Vice President Willie Lightfoot. 

Lightfoot said this legislation has been in the works for a while, and this is just the right time after receiving reports and recommendations. 

"This is us just doing what is right at the right time, timing was right, everything came together," said Lightfoot.
