Committee members on Jan. 19 expressed disappointment that a recently circulated 61‑page complaint report focused on whether actions violated current policy and offered few recommendations for policy change. Speaker 1 characterized the report as "somewhat disappointing" for not answering whether the policy itself should be revised.

Speaker 6 urged the board to seek transparency by inviting the authors from Butler Snow to present their process and findings to the public. "Transparency was what I'm what I'm getting at," Speaker 6 said, adding that the public needs to hear how the firm reached its conclusions and what evidence was reviewed.

Speaker 2 told members that Butler Snow had previously agreed, in meetings with board leaders, to return to discuss the report and that the board should follow up on that commitment. Members discussed holding two separate special meetings — one with Butler Snow and one with police command staff — to avoid having both entities present at the same time and to give the community and board members opportunities for direct questioning.

The committee asked staff to request that Butler Snow present at a board meeting and to invite relevant police command staff or mayoral office representatives to a separate session, and to include community leaders in those meetings.

Next steps: staff will follow up with Butler Snow to schedule a public explanation session and will coordinate a separate meeting with police command staff to discuss any contemplated policy changes. The committee did not take a final action to adopt or reject the report’s findings; rather, members requested additional public engagement and internal analysis.
