Board moves ahead with ad hoc on civilian oversight after contentious public comment
Summary
After extensive public comment both for and against, the Board reopened a previously directed item and voted to proceed with an ad hoc committee to draft an ordinance on an independent civilian oversight board and inspector general for the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office.
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors on May 12 reopened public discussion of a proposed civilian oversight structure for the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and reaffirmed prior direction to form an ad hoc committee to draft ordinance language for board consideration.
At an earlier meeting the board had voted 4-1 to create an ad hoc (Supervisor Arroyo and Supervisor Bushnell were named); concerns about public access to the prior meeting prompted the board to revisit the item and allow additional public comment (SEG 4048–4068, SEG 4070–4083).
