Summary

The Independent Civilian Advisory Commission voted unanimously to set an onboarding and meeting schedule through November, approved a one-day retreat on Nov. 16, and resolved regular monthly meetings beginning in January with specific evening start times.

The Independent Civilian Advisory Commission voted to adopt a schedule for onboarding meetings, the inaugural retreat and a regular meeting cadence.

Commissioners approved a motion that set onboarding meetings on the first and third Wednesdays (with the next meeting scheduled for Aug. 21 at 6:30 p.m.), a one-day retreat on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a regular monthly meeting cadence beginning in January (first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m., excluding December). The motion passed by roll call vote with all seven commissioners present voting in the affirmative.

Roll call recorded the following votes: Marco Durazo — Aye; Michael Fisher — Aye; William McLear — Aye; Shirley Melnico — Aye; Kalima Salahuddin — Aye; Robert Solano — Aye; James Simmons — Aye. Staff confirmed the commission’s next meeting will be Aug. 21 at 6:30 p.m.

The clerk explained staff had proposed a more intensive onboarding schedule through November to get commissioners oriented to the sheriff’s operations, legal requirements and data needs; commissioners said they prefer more frequent meetings during onboarding and monthly meetings thereafter, and staff agreed to include onboarding materials and a data module for the sheriff’s office.

The motion was seconded and approved by voice/roll-call. Commissioners and staff will publish the adopted schedule and notify the public; staff also noted the commission’s website and a commission-specific email address for public submissions.
