National City CPRC approves Feb. minutes, hears closed-session report and sets Aug. meeting
Summary
At its May 15 meeting the National City Community and Police Relations Commission approved minutes from Feb. 20, heard a closed-session report that three items received unanimous support, approved an excused absence, and agreed to adjourn to its Aug. 21 meeting.
The National City Community and Police Relations Commission on May 15 approved the minutes from its Feb. 20, 2024, meeting, heard a closed-session report that three items received unanimous support and voted to adjourn until its next meeting on Aug. 21, 2025.
The action on the minutes was moved by Commissioner Gomez and seconded by Commissioner Phillips. The clerk reported the motion carried with five votes in favor and one abstention. City Attorney Barry Schultz reported out of closed session that the commission had heard three items and that each received unanimous support from commissioners in attendance; he did not disclose details of those items at the public meeting.
The meeting included routine procedural business: roll call, the Pledge of Allegiance, approval of an excused absence for Commissioner Cummings for the Feb. 20 meeting (moved by Commissioner Gomez, seconded by Commissioner Rosales), and brief staff comments. Sergeant Cardoza and city staff had no substantive comments during the open session.
During commissioner reports, Commissioner Phillips described a recent interaction with the National City Police Department’s animal-regulation staff after a snake became entangled in netting in his yard. "They all showed up, most lickety split, and the snake was released," Phillips said, praising the response.
The commission welcomed its newest member and then recessed into closed session; after the closed session the commission resumed briefly, took the approved actions and adjourned. The clerk announced the meeting would reconvene on Aug. 21, 2025, at 6 p.m.
