Summary
After convening in executive session to hear Officer Michael Camposano’s appeal, the Police Commission returned to public session and voted to affirm the chief’s suspension order; the meeting record notes one opposed vote.
The Police Commission met in executive session to hear an appeal by Officer Michael Camposano and subsequently affirmed the chief’s suspension order in public session.
The mayor said the commission would move to executive session to hear Officer Camposano’s appeal and listed attendees who would join the session, including Deputy Chief Moskowitz, union representatives and the officer. The mayor stated, "It is not the practice to have any votes taken in executive session, and if any votes are to be cast, they will be done back here on the dais in public." The meeting recessed to executive session at 6:36 p.m.
The commission returned to public session at 7:54 p.m. and a public motion was made to affirm Chief Marla’s suspension of Officer Michael Camposano. Commissioner Terry Lewis moved to affirm the suspension; the motion was seconded and carried. The meeting record notes one recorded "no" vote for the record; the transcript does not consistently record the full roll-call breakdown for that motion.
The mayor reiterated that no votes were taken during executive session, and that any actions taken were recorded in public following the return to the dais. The commission did not announce additional disciplinary details during the public session.
