Committee tables request for full investigation into Amanda Thompson death
The Committee on Community Development on July 29 tabled a request for a full investigation and report into the death of Amanda Thompson in the South Ogden Street area.

Council Member Bowman, who asked to speak during the item, said the request follows the "tragic death of Amanda Thompson on South Ogden Street in my district," and that he had spoken with the district attorney, who "called and responded to my letter." Bowman said the district attorney told him the case remains under investigation and "we want to make sure we have the strongest case and don't jeopardize the case by running out any information."

The committee opened the item and then voted to table it. Council Member Bowman spoke in favor of tabling while the district attorney continues the criminal investigation; the motion to table was seconded by Council Member Bowman (as recorded). The chair later said, "we are going to keep this tabled, and I will follow this along as it progresses."

No ordinance, resolution, or other formal policy change was adopted on the Stan request at the meeting. The committee made no further directive to staff beyond tabling the item pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.

Members explicitly identified this as an ongoing criminal investigation handled by the district attorney and said they were tabling the committee action to avoid jeopardizing any prosecutorial steps.
