Civilian Review Board and city leaders thank Lindsay Folultz for years of oversight service
Summary
Mayor Karen Kudson, former mayor Lucy Venice and CRB members thanked Lindsay Folultz for long service to the board and the independent police auditor's office, praising continuity through transitions and leadership during the 2020 protests; members presented certificates ahead of turnover on July 1.
City and CRB leaders used the June meeting to formally recognize Lindsay Folultz for years of volunteer and professional service to police oversight, citing leadership during turbulent periods and continuity within the auditor's office.
Mayor Karen Kudson opened the remarks, calling Folultz's combined volunteer and paid service "incredibly important" and praising her contribution to the city's oversight system. "We're really grateful for your service throughout those times," Kudson said, describing Folultz's multiple terms on the board and her roles in the auditor's office.
Former mayor Lucy Venice and CRB members echoed the praise, noting Folultz's calm voice during the summer and fall of 2020 protests and her work on the ad hoc police policy advisory group. Auditor Craig (surname in transcript) presented certificates to departing members and thanked staff for the work that underpins the board's reviews.
Why it matters: The recognition coincides with planned turnover—several board members noted July 1 as transition date—and the auditor announced two associate-auditor hires in background checks. The board used the moment to highlight institutional memory and the role of independent oversight in maintaining public trust.
No formal vote or policy change was attached to the commendations; the board proceeded to business after the remarks and later returned to case review and public comment.
