CCRB swears in new member and asks for clearer process after policy review
Summary
At its July 21 meeting, the CCRB administered an oath to a newly arrived member and reviewed draft revisions to its review policy, with members pressing for a clearer decision flowchart and a feedback loop from the city manager.
The CCRB met July 21 and administered the oath for a newly arriving member, King, before turning to draft revisions of the board's review policy. Chair opened the meeting at 6:01 p.m. and Sorel, acting in a staff/clerking role, confirmed a quorum.
Members discussed a draft policy that had been circulated by email and flagged the need to clarify the board's procedural steps. King asked a pointed procedural question about disagreement with the law director: "But what happens if we disagree with that assessment?" Sorel replied that if the board disagrees with the law director's review, "then the board would determine whether or not there would be a hearing." The board agreed it would be helpful to add a clearer flowchart explaining "if this, then that" at each step of the review process.
The meeting also recorded a formal approval of minutes from the May meeting. Sorel said he will incorporate recommendations from the law director into the policy and schedule a follow-up meeting once revisions are complete, and members asked staff to add a feedback loop so the board can see how the city manager responds to its recommendations.
