Vallejo surveillance board appoints ad hoc work‑plan committee; separate tower policy committee to be formed

The Vallejo Surveillance Advisory Board voted to form an ad hoc subcommittee to draft a work plan for the board’s work.

Chair Lee accepted nominations and Board Member Stewart was nominated and agreed to serve. Two other board members volunteered; the board then held a roll call to approve the subcommittee. The motion passed by roll call with members voting yes, and the board recorded the motion as passed.

Board members clarified the limits and purpose of the ad hoc committees. City Attorney Reisner explained ad hoc committees must have a single distinct purpose and be time‑limited. The board discussed that the surveillance tower technology‑use policy would be drafted by a separate ad hoc committee; the same board members may be appointed to that separate committee at a later meeting.

The board scheduled the next regular meeting for the third Thursday and said it will agendize appointment of the surveillance tower policy committee at a future meeting. No formal policy language was drafted at this meeting; the action was limited to appointing the work‑plan subcommittee and confirming that a distinct committee for tower policy would be considered later.

Less critical: that the earlier volunteer list from the previous meeting was discussed, and some members sought clarification about why this item was agendized again; staff said the current meeting was the formal agendized vote.
