Board blends language for oversight 'purpose' statement and adopts it
The board voted to combine elements of two alternate purpose statements—emphasizing transparency, accountability and a direct community voice—and adopted blended language to include in the ordinance rewrite.
The full story
Members reviewed three drafts of the board’s ordinance 'purpose' statement. The debate centered on whether to emphasize lawful, fair and respectful policing language (Alternate 1) or to emphasize a 'direct voice' for the community (Alternate 2). Committee member (Speaker 6) proposed blending the two drafts; Speaker 3 moved to adopt Alternate 1 with direct-voice language added and Speaker 6 seconded. The board approved the blended language by voice vote.
