Second it. As as the clerk, can you call the role for this item? Member Bird, member Christensen, member Grant, member Drell. Hi, Chairman Beasley. Day I, member Han, member Sorio, member Bryant, and member Smith. I don't think I don't think so either, but I um the motion carries. public comments. Let's see. I have Man, Manuela.

It's been a while, like a lot of people are missing um even in the crowd. Um, I have a couple things I wanted to talk about tonight that I think is extremely important and rather disturbing actually. One I'm going to start with. Yesterday, um, someone in the community reached out and shared that there was at 12:10 p.m. a Modesto police vehicle blocked and left the vehicle right behind two cars that were parked in parked in the handicap spaces. Okay. Um the officer went inside Panera and left the vehicle unattended. While the officer came back out, they were asked why they left their car blocking people who are in the handicap parking spaces. And the officer replied, "I'm working on an investigation and the emergency lights were not on." And I find this very disturbing because to one block people in is a is just problematic. And I know sometimes they're an emergency, but no lights are on and you're blocking people who are handicapped. And if we are not allowed to park in spaces that if we are not handicapped, I agree with that. Why is it okay? It's not okay to block people either. And we have noticed this this this level of lawlessness continue with police departments across the United States where rules and laws don't matter to them. And and at a very minor level, I mean, I see cops not using their blinkers, not putting their lights on when it's raining or when, you know, just those are safety issues. And if we are getting pulled over for not stopping fully at a stop, not putting our seatelts on, not having our well lights, I don't know how many people get pulled over and get a ticket for that, but we see this across the board with MPD. So these seem not the biggest deal, but at the end of the day, it is safety and it

is also about public trust. I don't trust the police because on and on and on I continue to see their lack of regard and care for rules that are in place especially for safety. That to me is the end of the day is safety but also just that it's just gross to block people who are um you know parked in disabled parking and what if they needed to get out. Another couple things. Um, Joseph Lamancha, I don't know if you guys are aware, he has I don't know where we're at with arbitration and all that with him, but um, he has now received a DUI. And, um, there's another police officer who also and we were able to find the public uh, statement um, of it electronically filed. and another police officer got a DUI in Houston. Um, that comment was left on the MPD's Instagram page. So, and we were trying to look for it and we couldn't find it, but we don't know. And so, I just think these things should be talked about and investigated. It went off before the time. All right. Thank you.

Thank you,

Kyla. Did I say that right? I pray I did.

Good evening everybody. My name is Kyla and I'm a resident here at Modesto. Um I come to you here tonight with three questions. The first one being, can we expect as residents that if ICE agents are acting criminally, if they are committing criminal offenses, not civil violations, will MPD intervene and enforce the law? Secondly, um I think there is a need for a system to verify if ICE agents are actually such and not just people acting lawlessly um under the the the guise of no identity. And I really hope that MPD can can work if they are not already working on something to ensure the safety of residents because this does pose an issue as we've already seen in the news. Thirdly, um, a couple of organizations are working towards getting the city of Modesto to pass a compassionate city resolution and I know an email was sent to Miss Bird um, today regarding that. And my question is, should we get that if we are able to get that resolution passed, can we expect collaboration from MPD to ensure that safety that that resolution aims to provide? Thank you.

Thank you. Chairwoman. Yes. Let me just help you out. I think we went a little bit out of order. We were going to pause for public comment. So, you can go ahead and ask if anyone else has public comment and we can close public comment and move to item four.

Thank you. Does anybody else have a any public comment? Nope. All right. Seeing that, we'll close out public comments and we will go to new business and we'll start with um that you Scotty, are you on? person BC day. So, uh would you like me to provide a bit of a staff report on that?

Yes, please.

So, um as a reminder, last month we uh all or you all had uh um discussion regarding the board's priorities for calendar year 2026. And as a result of that um there were three focus areas that um were that that came about and then I'll go over those in just a moment. And then there are also um particular uh items that you're you have interest in exploring further and those items actually are listed in within the priority areas. Please note that the the you know kind of the topics like we used to do in the past that's what these particular items would be. So, if I could, I would like to kind of review the priority areas and the particular topics that are below uh within each of those areas. As a reminder, this is not an opportunity to dig into any of these topics because later on they will obviously be agendaized. Um, but this is to kind of set the cadence for the year and then uh we can go from there. So, is there do we provide these copies? Okay. So, I actually have um I have a printed copy here of the CPRB's 2026 priorities. Uh for any members of the public that don't have a copy of this, they are located in the lobby out front where the agendas are. So, you're more than welcome to follow along. Um so, priority one is compliance and legal risk. Um items tied to statutory requirements, reporting obligations, or high public scrutiny. That's uh that particular priority. The next one is public safety and strategic partnerships. Um the programs and collaborations that directly impact safety outcomes and operational effectiveness. Um and for example, uh PD and Stannis Los County behavioral services, health services, a collaborative approach to safety um and how they work together. A police department and partnerships protecting

our community are within that uh section as well. Priority number three um is prevention and community programs. It's important long-term impact initiatives with low lower immediate risk and this is a contains overview of the wake up youth diversion program and I'm sorry I was remiss I'm going to go back to the first priority and there the topics that were listed there our review of RIPA data and compliance requirements um which was covered in the past and Lieutenant Kber can um speak to that for just a moment in just a moment um and then there's military style equipment purpose oversight and safeguards We have some information about that as well that uh Lieutenant Kber will provide tonight as we're determining solidifying these particular topics within the priority areas. And then lastly is overview of MPD policy 466 and procedure 412. Um and then uh I will

Oh, sure. Uh policy 466 is regarding first amendment assemblies and procedure 412 is regarding mass mass arrest procedures. Okay. So those those are the topics there and I will turn that over to you madam chair so that you can have discussion and uh hopefully eventually um a motion to approve these so that we can move forward for this year. Thank you. Awesomeness. Does

sorry one last go ahead. So Sammy has also put up um the calendar that we're used to seeing with topics. She's going to be putting that up on the screen as well to kind of help you think help you kind of follow along with the cadence of the year as well. So thank you. Thanks any board questions for the staff regarding these um priorities. Mhm. Yes. I don't speak unless you let me. Yes. Go ahead.

I just uh when I looked at priority three, I thought of we've had a lot of discussion about doing things outside. I think would be and I don't know that that is a nec necess necessitates a ad hoc committee, but to go to do an outside meeting every quarter. We could we could go, you know, use a school and it costs two or three hundred bucks to clean it afterwards or whatever. for and uh I think it'd just be good because I remember the one we did at King Kennedy Center. There was so many people there and they had some things they wanted to talk about and I and I think we just do our regular meeting whatever we have that day and but we're doing just doing it outside and give people the chance to talk and then I don't know where we left the whole thing about getting a table and a tent so that we could go to different things but I think that's something that we need to do is get out and do uh get a list of the public events like you know, Earth Day and things like that that we would have a booth out there and talk to people.

Madam Chair, if I could um so this might be some great conversation under the next item which is formation of ad hoc committees and and other groups to determine some of these as far as a priority um is concerned. We can certainly list these within the priorities um if you would like to select a category and do so. I just I saw prevention and community programs and I thought that that was what brought that on.

I think we need to consider as these are listed here as bullet points. Is it a feeling that compliance and legal is one presentation and those three are all incorporated into one or are or are those three bullets each separate based on depth of the content? If we're going to calendarize this, some of these could be combined, but I don't those three together in one meeting sounds like a lot.

They'd have to be I suggest broken down into bite-sized pieces. I'm going to help out just a little bit. So the priorities like one, two, and three, that's just like a whole like broad scope of what's falling underneath them. The sub bullets are various topics that were uh emailed in by different board members. So you guys will pretty much do sort of like a drag and drop if that topic carries forward, if we still want to see it or not. So um whatever that would be in whatever month. And then of course, like I said, if you guys come up with a different topic at any given time within three to six months while we go through this, we can always figure out where to put that. Um, so if you would like, we could go through each priority and each sub bullet and just um, chairwoman can read off the bullet and you can discuss amongst yourself what month you'd like to place that in. And then also probably speak to Lieutenant Kber regarding a couple of them to see if that needs to be covered again or or what exactly you would like to see in detail. Okay.

Thank you. All right, we'll go over um priority one compliance and legal risk review of RIPA data and compliance requirements. What is that? So if you remember in October of I believe 24 we did a presentation on RIPA. Um

again what RIPA is is the department sends data to the state. The state collects the data from all departments throughout the state in order to look at potential legislation changes and those types of things. It's not something we collect in-house in order to analyze inhouse. We don't analyze it in house. Uh it's again it's given to state. It's publicly available on on the repo website that for anyone to look up. So, um, other than rehashing what what we talked about in October of 24 because the standards and requirements haven't changed, uh, I'm not sure where the question would lie with that. So,

um, again, it's publicly accessible information which we can absolutely uh, look at sending to the board members later on if they're interested in it. U,, but as far as a presentation goes, there isn't anything really to report beyond what was reported in October of 24. Is is there any value to asking if somebody from from RIPA comes and tells us what they do with their data or is that um do they they do they supply reports or whatever? They have reports. Yes. So I don't I don't personally have connections with anyone from from the state for that purpose but I don't know. Do they give you guys any feedback on

only whether we're in compliance or not which we are which we have been and and again with compliance it's referring to uh reporting the data to them. Yeah. Does MPD did you guys create like a a policy or a training uh manual for police officers to fill out the RIPA reports that they have to do? No, but we it's get it gets audited from our records division to make sure that they're being filled out. So, so they basically like the compliance check and all that is RIPA will tell you if you guys are within compliance and all that. Correct. The state will tell us. Yeah.

Okay. Anyone else on the board have a question with regard to the RIPA data and compliance requirements? Um I mean the RIPA is is in a sense to help identify like disparities isn't it within the department if there is a disparity. It's it's there's zero intention to identify disparities within the department which is why we don't analyze that data. It's it's for the again for the state to collect the data statewide. Every agency in California from San Diego to Eureka uh sends this data to the state. the state collects it in a statewide database to identify on their own. It's not it's not to identify what this department's doing versus what this department's doing. It's to collect all the statewide data in one group

to do like a California legislation if if if needed. If needed, correct? Yeah. And that's a Sacramento, you know, Sacramento thing, not not here. And what you see on your screen right here is that presentation that Lieutenant Kber provided in Octo in uh 2024. quite a bit of information in this. And if we wanted to review this again, we could we find it on our uh website. It is listed exactly where I just pulled it from. Okay. Thank you.

Any other questions with regard to this bullet point? I think what that just showed us is the reminder of a summary of what it is kind of puts it back in perspective because that's enough time to not remember exactly how it does or doesn't apply here. Exactly. Yeah. Thank you.

Do we have any uh frequently asked question type things on our website that would if you put in there RIPA that it would say link it to this presentation because that there's a lot of it's not the only only board I've been on where we had a report last month and this month somebody wants to have a report on it. Well, you know, if we had an easier way for people to get on there and say RIPA, they would just they would go to this report and if they wanted more information, they could talk to you about it because your name's on it. That's I think that would

stack staff can take that under consideration. um just on as a uh you know something that we could do to consider for providing on our website. We do have a list of all of those topics that are on one and it it kind of acts as a little bit of as an FAQ on its own. If you start perusing those, you can see, oh, here's the RIPA report or here and then you just you just board member Solorio and I talked a little bit um a little while back just regarding kind of renaming some of these as well to make them a little bit more obvious um and like you know referencing certain things like the OI OIR report and things like that. So yeah,

yeah, take that under consideration. Well, if yeah, if you got the topics listed in general categories with a l you push a link and you're there to the report, that's fine. In an effort to keep moving through each of these, um the reminder refresher we just got, I don't see a need to have the RIP data and compliance a whole new presentation on our calendar.

No. Anyone else? Maybe a uh well, everybody could get to the website. I guess not everybody, but I was just thinking we had a handout that says here's the topics you can get to, but I think most everybody has a phone the link like the Don't you guys think it would be nice to go over the data that gets collected though? Like I understand we can see it, but if we go over it as a board and review it together, if it's state level data, does it help us determine what we need need to do here?

But we could get the data from just Modesto police department. It's not all collected with the state out like that by department. We have not done that. I'm not sure if the state you guys fill it out, you send it to the state, but like we can review just Modesto's RIPA data. Correct. It's not it's it's not again this and this is what was from October 24. It's not collected in a in a in a manner that's easily accessible in that way. So I don't know if that data exists out there. We do not take that data and interpret it. Is that what you guys are working on that kind of dashboard to collect that? We're working on dashboards but not for that. But not for that. No.

Yeah. To me, looking at the data that MPD provides to the state is something I would be interested in, but not looking at the data for the state as a whole. That just makes no sense. So, the way I'm interpreting what um the lieutenant is sharing is it's it's not collected Yeah. in attachment to this department versus that department. It's just it's automated. It comes in and goes up. They may not be able to pull that. Yeah. It's not stored here for that purpose. It's it's given to the state. So we don't store it in here for that interpretation passes through to them. Correct. Yeah. The dashboards that you're working on, does it pull some of the like data that um you may be looking for?

They're in progress. So I don't know what specifics will be on the dashboards when they come through, but um you know, stop data and whatnot might be. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Because I remember previously us talking about stop data and where stops are being the heat spots and who's being stopped and all that kind of stuff. And personally I was hoping that would come out of the RIPA data but again we've had this discussion. Yeah, maybe you you have that kind of data right as far as we have some of it. I'd have to look to see what specific Well, I know that there's a concentration like a heat

map that the heat map that says there's down Mckenry down here that these are what they are and these are the types of types of um violations are happening. Yes. Yeah. So, I think that's probably as useful as what what the RIPA data would be if we had it. Anything else regarding bullet point number one, the ripper data? All right. Think as we work our way down each one of them, we can circle back if we see a correlation.

Um, military, excuse me, military style equipment, purpose, oversight, and safeguards. Can I um Can I Never mind. Never mind. I'll just wait till we get to it. So, just in regards to military equipment, so everyone's aware, what is designated as military equipment is defined by the state and there are certain requirements. So, we have um on our website, we have a link that shows all of our military equipment as defined by the state. We're also required to do a public meeting, which we do every year uh in the springtime. um usually around May. Hasn't been the specific date hasn't been scheduled this year, but it's an event open to the public uh in the lot of the police department, so they can not only uh know what we have, but actually see it firsthand, ask questions to those who operate the equipment. It's an open house that's available to everyone um every year.

So, and I believe that began in 2022 or 2023. So, we've we've done this at least three times, I believe. So, and it's it's coming up this spring. It's in the spring. Yes. You know, I when I read this, I thought, man, that's a that's a great opportunity for a field trip to go, you know, to find out what SWAT does because that's mostly what

I would guess is this type of military style equipment is there. When do you deploy them? How do you deploy them? How are they trained? you know, what are what are the issues with, you know, I know some of the trauma that comes with that and all that. That that would be a good uh meeting whether we do it here or somewhere else. That would because I remember we all remember the field trips that we took when we when you know we did some of the use of force training and things like that. That was very very helpful and effective and just to see see how it's used and why it's used. Yeah. Yeah, would be helpful.

And that's and that could be from the open house. It's on a Saturday, so it doesn't conflict with, you know, the standard Monday through Friday schedule that most most folks have. Does it do what kind of what I was talking about have the Yeah, it's it's it's there for you to see the equipment to ask questions again of those who use it. You know, I'm not an expert in in how this piece of equipment is used, but the person who is is there and they can answer. I was I was talking about broader than that. Not just the equipment, but how does SWAT work when you use it? What kind of situations do you are we able to ask those questions? Well, and that's you would definitely have SWAT operators there. Yes. Yeah.

Well, maybe that that might be the just adding a few aspects to what's you're already doing. It might that might be a good and we should if we know about it we go to it and learn what and I don't know if they go into like policy and what the policy is behind using the equipment you know how it gets recorded once the equipment is used all those kind of things I don't think they go into that kind of stuff at those Well I'm sure they would go over you know the policies regarding when it's used that's that's part of it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think we we just go to that and if we need more, we ask for more.

It's an example of a community event that we're asking to have a list of where can we pinpoint some of our focus out more uh that you know if you're interested in these matters we're have that we are hosting or police department's hosting this thing and we'll all we'll see you there. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we get the good place for our popup tent. Exactly. Yeah. I thought I was you to say popcorn. That's so maybe that Well, that's coming up. You said it's spring time that it has an open house, right?

Yeah, it's generally in May. Just that's the best weather typically for for outdoor outdoor event. Be sure to get us that when it is. And yeah, absolutely. As soon as it's scheduled, I could have that for the May March or April meeting.

Okay. So, we should have since it's in May, maybe we should have that in in May, you know, um whether it's before or after, you know, it could be like a overview of what it is, what the event is, or it could be a review of how the event was and what happened during the event that could happen in May under revisit CPRB priorities. As far as uh the calendar presentation calendar, like a smaller second presentation,

just like a small presentation of what it is like like like if it didn't happen that the meeting is before it, you know, just it's kind of like a promotional thing like just talking about what it is and if it happened just like a small review of what it was. If I could suggest, I mean, I think that would be a good opportunity for like a board comment before to announce and then a board comment after about what it was uh rather than a, you know, a PowerPoint presentation. Okay. You know what I mean? And and I if the if there's remaining questions after the event, then we could work we could look at working that into a presentation or or board comment, whichever is more appropriate for I kind of like that idea because we see what we see and what what's still missing that we want to know, then we bring it up as question. I agree.

Right. And then we're talking informed asking informed questions instead of and seeing how the community is interacting and asking questions. I think that's good. Good. So May everyone looking at May. Mhm. Right.

Uh overview of MPD policy 466 and procedure 412. Board comments. I was thinking maybe that can go in June because that can almost be like because you know you guys are doing a response report to the annual report. Maybe that could happen the same time kind of go hand in hand. Yeah, it's like a policy day. Didn't we get some of this already with the other stuff that we've gone through recently though? It's been

Yes, a little We got it like in an email what the policies were like here's the policy 466 and here's policy 412 but it wasn't something that we reviewed nor brought into consideration during the June protest in a presentation but only slightly like me too was it was like a small you got to be on board member grant I can't hear you I was talking to another board member I didn't want to speak it out I know my voice is not If I could the working on it

the the the policy and the procedure again are on the website. So I'm not sure if there's specific questions regarding them or if this is just to display the policies

without getting like too detailed into it. You know the mass arrest just how MPD goes about um doing that when it comes to a protest and just the policy of arresting protesters. Um, you know, I read it and it says that it's a sight and release, but you know, for example, we had a situation where people were arrested and put into a holding sale for a while. Um, so those are the types of questions that I have um reviewing the policies as they state that it's a site and release.

So that's kind of where I personally am more invested in on those overviews. What are you looking for in the presentation piece of it though? What is it you're asking? I just want I mean if if that's if the policy is stating example again stating a sight and release like why did the officer decide that it was a a booking case? Um, what are the criteria? What are the criterias of that that makes it go from, all right, I know the policy says to site and release them, but things change, so we had to make it a book booking.

If a person doesn't comply, then they're going to get arrested. It's it's release. If they if they comply, I I could just say if if we're looking at talking about the event last June, we won't be able to discuss that because there's it there's still threatened litigation going on with it. So that won't be discussed,

but it's just an example, the best example I can give right now to go over it. Um, but it's just definitely something I would like to review and if there needs to be a change, if there needs to be worded differently to say um different criterias for taking someone to the jail to book them versus what the policy states. I mean, just things like that. I mean that also yes I guess could be in an ad hoc but we have to review it as a board first and then send it to an ad hoc and bring it to consideration.

Oh thank you. I'll wait I'll just weigh in real quick. Um maybe a suggestion is that uh because they are available publicly and online um go take a look at them and then if there's something that you want to talk with the police chief or to let Lieutenant Kber or myself um to suggest you know a way to bring that forward to um review what it is that kind of what I'm hearing right now that might be an opportunity in the future but right now it's like you know um in the bylaws it talks about you you know, engaging with the police department. It's to um I think that would be it

to improve the relationship the relationships between the police department and the public, things like that. Reviewing policies is one of those. Um there's uh it's like I'm always kind of looking at to do what, right? And so whatever it is that that we're going to focus on, it's in order to accomplish something. And so maybe that's an opportunity. I mean, maybe not just these policies, but any of the policies in uh the areas that we just talked about for these areas of focus if it's like, hey, you know what? We'd like to learn a little bit more. And like I've said in the past, staff is always available to to to speak with you about a way to um to look into that or if you want to review a little bit more. There might also be opportunities like it's also in your bylaws to attend trainings at the police department. Um to go on ride alongs, that sort of thing. when when we were talking about SWAT a little bit ago, there are those opportunities um in order to like engage with the police department and then maybe come back here and to discuss maybe poss you know different topics and things like that. So just thought I'd just offer that.

Okay. So you're kind of just saying like go that route and then if need be to put on the agenda, we can do that. Yeah. And that's where you can call you can call staff and we can talk about that. Okay. cuz I just want to make sure like we can't recommend anything that we don't talk about in public, right? So like yeah, if we did talk about this, we have to make an agenda item on it eventually so that it can be in the report for the following year. Correct.

Okay. Just want to make sure I got it all in order. I think it kind of sounds like you wanting to do a policy review on those two pieces on one side, but it also sounds like you want to understand circumstances that elevate from one circumstance to the other and they kind of sound not the same. The policy review sounds like its own thing when you say how is it worded? Should it be changed versus understanding what causes this response from that action? And I think that's like a separate kind of a overview versus a policy review. Well, I guess there's a procedure. So, the mass arrest procedure

overview and then the policy, but they're both like they're interconnected. Yeah.

Um I bet you're right. It is kind of the whole thing. So, it's getting a report on it, us reviewing it, listening to what it is, asking our questions, and then if we had to create an ad hoc for a policy change if recommended, um, then that would be the next step of that. Can I if I could weigh in just a second because I'm trying to figure out what Nico is saying and um I want to be sure. There were two events last year and in preparation for each of those two different events, it appeared to be a completely different policy. One showed up with full riot gear and horses and and um lots of equipment. And then later in the year there was a there was a a similar group and they were up out on bikes in shorts and the officers were and they were and it was more a much less intense. So it seems like somewhere along the way somebody made a policy decision long before the the council ever voted on a mask policy. There were there was it was handled differently which I applaud. But I just I want it I would be curious to know if this the MPD has changed their policy and how they're going to approach this as like they did in the second one or will they uh vary back and forth uh between those two approaches that they took to the two different demonstrations? I mean I think that's I don't know if that's what you're trying to get at. What's the policy? Yeah. It's

period that creates creates one versus another. Yeah. Yeah. If it's a you said a catch and release versus a sight and release versus like actual whatever actual book fish. Huh. As opposed to you're arrested and you're going Yeah. You're going to jail and Yeah. When is when when is that decision? What's the fine line to decides? Yeah. Yeah. Or not fine line. That's what I understood you to say. Yeah. Like is it going to be a policy and we're gonna follow it or are we gonna decide when we're gonna follow this policy or is it going to be follow that

event was is that those who complied weren't arrested and those who continued to not comply were arrested. I don't want to get too far into the event. I think we also if we're going to go down this keep it general and not tied to events. This is a a broad uh overview what you're talking about and not event specific because it stands or it doesn't. It doesn't matter what the event is. Yeah. Right. Okay. So, we'll look at the policy. Yeah. Uh June, you guys all agree June would be an appropriate time.

I think so. I I I think and I'm still confused because the again the policy is public. It hasn't changed. The the the actual when you look at the policy itself, it gives you every every time it's been amended. So policy 412 has uh regarding mass arrest procedures has never been amended and policy 466 was last edited in August of 2023. Okay.

So the policies are the same. It definitely sounds like we're going down the road of wanting to talk about these particular events which we can't we can't talk about in here. So again, if there are questions regarding the policy, I'm I'm always available to answer those questions individually or but in terms of presentation, I don't know the value of of going up here and just reading the policy as we have without having a specific understanding of where where it's going at that point.

That's fair. Um, Chairwoman, may I suggest since we do have a revisit to priorities in May, how about board members take some time to connect with Lieutenant Kber and then we can see where this lands by May.

That's exactly what I was just looking at. Thank you. Well said. All right. So, we're good. We're all good. We agreed to take a look at it um and meet up with uh Lieutenantic Liber to ask our deep questions and then determine uh when we come back on May and we're revisiting these priorities that uh we can determine if it needs to be an agenda item or more elaboration on it. Agreed. Yep. Yes.

All right. All right. Priority two, public safety and strategic partnerships. Uh programs and calculations that directly impact safety outcomes and operational effectiveness. PD and Stannislaw County Behavioral Health Services, a collaborative approach to safety. Um can I make a suggestion?

Sure. Um, I just would like to make a recommendation for priority two, the bullets in priority two, and the priority and the bullet in priority number three to all be on March 18th, 2026 because they all seem like they coincide together. And if it's a And if it's you said it for March. Yes. Because the wake up diversion program is in March and then that seems like more so of a community programming and some type of strategic partnership day from what kind of how I see it. And then we could see if because I went to ask PD if if you guys do have a behavioral health presentation, could you guys combine it with the PD and partner?

Sorry. You combine it with the PD and partnership. uh presentation, the the behavioral health one. Is that what you're saying? Right. There's a few bullets in that one. Can they be one? Yeah. Can they be one presentation? I would think so. That's not really my area expertise, so I don't want to I don't want to guarantee that, but I believe more than likely they could. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm just asking because when I I feel like we've done this before and I believe the last time we did it, the slides for the partnership was kind of small. I believe and so I just I just truly believe that if behavioral health and and you know the PD were kind of combined, we can kind of just see it all in one and then with the wake up diversion program, it's all kind of like one day. That's kind of how I see it. Just wanted to ask everyone else. That was just a recommendation. I like it. So, are we saying we want to combine the two items and kind of highlight some key partnerships between PD and one of them being um behavioral health behavioral health?

Yes. Are there any other key partnerships you guys would like for us to kind of notate or Lieutenant Kleber to notate? I was going to ask which partnership are we referring to in the second bullet there? PD and partnership. Thought it was general. I think it was the general suggestion. Yeah. Right. Like it's just we partner with the community. This is how we connect with the community. Ways of like criteria of how we do it. That's kind of how I see it. I didn't even know if it was like an individual. No, I think it was general. And I think there was some topics that were shared last year. So if there's any other new ones, um, if you would like, Lieutenant Kber could independently choose a couple to highlight, of course, including the suggestion. I don't know.

I suspect the behavioral health one, there's a lot involved with that one. There's a lot of moving parts with that. I think if that is the second bullet in March with a and these are others we have and if any jump out at us of being worthy of more info that we could add them to the list later and then we can keep PD and partnerships as kind of like a standing under the PD uh priority number two. So when we do visit in May, if there's a new partnership you're curious about, then we can add that. Does that sound

I think for us to learn about those partnerships, obviously there's more than one and we're not going to know about them yet. We didn't know about the SWAT community event. These are examples of things where as we get to learn about them, we can take more action or get more involved or invested. So just so I can understand, are we talking about a presentation regarding BHRs and the police department? and how they work together is how we're starting off. Yes. And then that might kind of move into potentially in a future presentation regarding something else is that

with that as you summarize the behavioral health one we also have partnerships with and just drop in some of them and as they come share those with us so we can start thinking about well we didn't know about that. like you may like boys and girls club say you have something going on with them or or baseball or PAL or you know whatever you know I really always remember that guy that when or when you got the guy that came that does everything the police

he's like and then the other one was when you guys do the the makeover the bedroom that's a huge deal those are I mean those aren't I don't know if for strategic partnerships, but there things that you do that the way you it's it's morphed into something big. Have we had a presentation on that? Yes. Yeah, we did. And just I'm thinking stuff like that that that are nobody would know about. Right. What is that program called now? We're at a last safe room. Healthy room. Healthy room. Healthy room. Yeah. Figure it out. So, we're not talking about chat because we got that presentation. No, no, no, no. That's a program of the department.

Yeah, but we're talking about BH is a partnership like the glass mission partner or the media something like that. I'm just using and there's there's also just there's just several things. I mean, there's so many things that the police department does with reaching out with from coffee with cop to national night out to neighborhood watch programs. Um, and maybe that that does kind of fall into the, you know, those strategic partnerships that you you are in like what you all are kind of charged with in your bylaws. It's like the police, you know, the public or the community and the police department relationship.

And how could we how could we maybe connect with some of those things and make instead of creating something on our own, we could just I mean, I know we get uh calendar invites and our um emails to a lot of the events that you guys that the department puts on, coffee with the cops and gunshots with the cops and all that kind of stuff like that. We we get that, but we just don't have anything that we can really show up in. is just our plain clothes saying, "Hey, I'm Nico with the CPRB. There's nothing that I'm wearing that's representing the board or anything like that." So, that's kind of my shy away to be honest with you guys.

But then, but then also just to just to throw out an idea like um out there also the timing of some of those events too can be rather difficult. I mean, at 9:00 a.m. with a coffee with a cop, I got to use PTO, you know, in order to go. But also, um, I think there's opportunity there to where we can combine and do something similar. It doesn't have to be coffee with a cop, but I think everyone's kind of, you know, kind of getting what I'm getting at. You know, it could be like sandwich with the CPB and the police department, you know, just ideas like that. So, like like Brad said, we don't have to reinvent the wheel at all. We can just literally combine with each other. So I think March I think we're all on the same page there. Yeah.

Yes. Yes. Yeah. The wake up program I just the partnerships already added it.

Sorry. The the wake up program is just the partnerships with that. I know we spoke a little bit on it, but if there's a way we can just, you know, get a little bit more in depth of like how the kids are selected, if you know, what schools are we partnered with in that? Are we partnered with like the the principles? Are we partnered with the counselors or like who is it and how is it that we can get those kids that are going down that road? How can we get more of them into that program? And you know, I want us to I want the board to learn what the program consists of, what they're what they're teaching the kids, what they're doing, and then if needed, what else can we add to the program to to make it better? Um,

and more support for the kids and for the families. Yeah, I definitely think that would be an opportunity for a presentation rather than a, you know, a sidebar Q&A or something because that's that's definitely relevant and I think we can definitely work work that into a presentation. Okay. Yeah, cuz the the few classes I went to, I I thoroughly enjoyed them and I just wish that there was a a little bit more kids there. Yeah, it was the first time I'd personally been to it either and it was it was very interesting. It was good. Right. But is that going to be too much in March, do you think?

Yeah, that's funny. That's what Sime and I were just talking about. Yeah, that's where I was like, I think. And then also maybe the availability of BHRs. I don't know if they'll right away. That's kind of, you know, we don't have that yet. So kind of setting this maybe with like meeting here, meeting here with this one or this one could be helpful um depending on the scheduling of folks that we would need to partner with in order to provide that that information. So you're suggesting that those are actually more involved than we were just thinking off the top, right?

Then I would suggest that we because revisit CR CRPB CPRB priorities um is doesn't need to be a whole meeting in May. So maybe we move behavioral health down to that one. Give them a little more lead time. Keep the wake up youth program in March. May May on and her line keeps going away on PED and behavioral health down. Yeah, we were thinking of re when we revisit in May the PD and Senate. Yeah, there you go. Y wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

If I'm if my memory is correct, we have the military in there. No, we didn't say anything. So, we decided that you guys would attend the event and then see um if you would have more questions and then we'll do the event is in May. We don't know what date in May. Mhm. So, like if you're going back to Scotty's parking lot that he likes to have the um the military style equipment could be on the parking lot consideration for June after we get some of us get to go see that SWAT event, right? Unless the event happens to be before our May meeting

where we can make the comment then and ask for it in June. Yeah. Well, after you after you attend, I mean, obviously you can communicate with staff and say, "Hey, you know, this is what we're thinking. We'd like to consider, you know, presentation on this, that, and the other thing." Um, and then we can schedule that, you know, at the next meeting, board comments and reports. You know, I think part of his question was if the event is before or after our May meeting, if it's before the May meeting and we do it as a board comment, there could be a request to agenda something so I'll fix these.

It's all good. Yeah. And just so you know, to my knowledge, it hasn't been scheduled for this year, but I know last year, I'm just checking, it occurred on April 29th, so end of April being honestly, I don't know if that would be the same this year, but that's when it occurred last year. So, it still works then for the meeting. Is there anything else that's like an open house? Like there a series of open houses for different departments for different I mean this was you you referred to this as an open house this thing in May, right? the are there other events I mean there's runs and there's things that where community gets collects I'm thinking not that I know of offh hand no like the

I know you guys have like headquarters doesn't have a open house separate from this or the you guys don't have one for background check analyst or crime analyst you have a recruiting open they do open houses for well I wouldn't call it an open house necessarily but a presentation for various positions, you know, police officers, you come in and you learn about it. But in terms of like touring the facilities and whatnot now, I think when we hear from the other community partnerships, that'll help give us ideas of things to focus on in that way. I agree.

I think um with the community partnerships, including like that CSI camp that you guys do, I think that would be good to have that in there. a lot of those camps that you guys do with the youth um just informing us and the public about it. Yeah, I already want to know more about that one. Yeah, it's it's like a week long or something I think. Yeah, those are pretty popular. Yeah, you say CSI something we don't all know about. So, I'm glad you for it would be good if you guys thought of if I if I only had this I I could do these two these things. the police department. Maybe we could help with hap making some things happen that you you guys just can't get to.

So, we're kind of working together instead of reporting to each other. Did we kind of accomplish all that? Yes. Definitely do. Right. Yep. So, we're we're we're lining up, but we look pretty full right now. You're on a roll, madam. Yep, we're on a roll. We are on a roll. Let's see. Where am I at now? Simmyi, help me out. Um, so you could call for a motion at this point if you'd like to kind of confirm the topics as they stand and then we can move forward and the priorities

and the priorities as they stand currently. And I'll I think we can send out another email right before um the revisit in May as I did this last time. Um so whatever comes up in the next five months for you guys for ideas, we'll keep re um adding them to the priorities and three months. Next three months, believe it or not, it's been a day. So the next three months, can you scroll down to the bottom of this um to the parking lot? Okay. Oh, that's what it says, huh? Okay.

All righty. Thank you very much. Uh, so do I have a motion that the calendar as it is now? Has everybody reviewed it and we're okay with it? I'll make a motion to accept the calendar and priorities as currently defined. Thank you very much. Do I have a second? Second. Uh, clerk, can you go ahead and do a roll call? Member Christensen, yes. Member Grant, I. Member Drell, yes. Chairwoman Beasley Day, yes. Member Han, hi. Member Salorio,

I. The motion carries. Locked and loaded. A. All right. All right. So, now we're going to have uh 4B, the creation of ad hoc committee supporting our 2026 CPRB priorities. Before proceeding, I'd like to pref preface that under this item, if board members do not have specific topics or goals with respect to 2026 CPRB priorities, which would require the creation of an ad hoc or subcommittee. We may always add this item in to a future agenda as needed. However, we should curate the ad hoc regarding the CPRB 2025 annual report. Any questions?

Did we sunset the current ones? We're going to do that. That's part of what we're doing tonight. We're getting to that. Yep. Yep. We're getting there. Uh so, do you guys have any questions? Like like we got to create it, right? We got we got to create the annual report at hut. Yeah, that one's required, I think, at this point. and half of us are missing. So, but if there's any specific um ad hocs then that's where this is where we can talk about them. Okay. Um strategic partnership ad hoc. Strategic partnership ad hoc. Yes. Can you define that? Yes, please.

Strategic partnership ad hoc is um just way I look at it when it looks at PD that could be like start partnering with PD on certain things like we're kind of talking about today when it came to events or something of that nature. that could be strategic because that's going to bring people more to our meetings and it's going to bring recruitment to them if they want to use it for such. So that's how I was looking at it and then also partnering with community partners. So like if they do have an event, we show up to an event, a police department has an event, we show up to their event. It's almost like we're just making sure that we're focused and we can honestly when I think of strategic, I think of strategic plan for the partnerships, too. like the ad hoc would create a strategic plan as to how we would go about partnering with other community programming and then also police department.

I agree and that's kind of where the two things I brought up out of turn when I f first started should go in that group. Yeah. Quarterly outside meetings or whatever whatever that group decides. It seems to fit and be enough to do something too,

right? And then it's like, you know, when we create a plan, we could start really asking amongst ourselves who's able to start going to some of these events because I think sometimes what we we come to find out is that we'll hear an event amongst ourselves, but it's not we never really know who's going and then also um we can't this whole Brown Act thing too, like when it comes to showing up at an event, like can we come as all like all of ourselves or do we have to come as a certain number? And that's what I kind of faced too. Like I didn't want to show up any event and and be out of compliance, right? Yeah. Like four of us there. It's like, "Oh, I gotta leave." Like, you know, so it just helps.

I'm not the attorney, but as long as we're just going to an event without speaking about stuff we're going to be talking about here, that's there's no violation. But the only I understand I think I understand that. I think the the thing I get confused about is what if we do get asked a question or something? Alex is with us.

Yeah. So, if you're at an event that's un, you know, unrelated to the the city and the police department, that's fine. Um, as long as you're not, you know, discussing amongst yourselves this stuff. So, if you individually happen to get asked a question by someone, that's totally fine. Um, you know, we we talked about the weapons, the the military uh equipment event. you know, we would probably if you're all going to be attending that because that has some relation to this, probably agendaize that as a special meeting and it doesn't mean that there's a formal um meeting happening there. We just notify the public that you may all be there, you know. So, you you see this happen from time to time with the city council of, you know, the state of the city or other sorts of public events they may all be attending to. No one really notices because it just gets posted on the the website and the bulletin board to meet the requirements and make sure we're in compliance, but won't impact your ability to to go there any day.

So, out of the abundance of caution, just notice anything that we're going to Yeah. or or let you know let Scotty know that you're interested in something and and you know he'll we can keep track of what what's going on if you're all going to be there or or not or if the majority of you are going to be there or not. That's that's not ownorous. I think how often is it that we're going to have an event on a Saturday that a majority of us could be at at the same time? That's not very that's not going to happen a lot. Have a hard time being here. Obviously, all have a bedtime. That's true. Thank you for that. It's tonight. What if I have What if I offer to do pizza in my backyard? Hey, I'll

actually We'll take that brick. I'll take I'll take that brick oven pizza. We'll only talk about your landscaping and not CPRV. Okay. Appreciate it. I have one more suggestion for ad hoc committee if uh for the board. Um understanding our bylaws and everything. Uh maybe we can have a know your rights uh ad hoc just to make sure we can kind of accomplish that. Whether it's a presentation, whether we do a demonstration in the community, just something then, you know, just put some focus on us to to get it done this time around. We had to ad hoc for you know

I think we got to remember we got to put a a timeline on these ad hocs. We have to put parameters around them. Um indeed for creation. Yeah. So yeah, if we do the create an ad ad hoc for that, we got to have, you know, what month we're going to want to present that report and have the event go on and all that. You don't have to have that defined. You have to have a deadline of when you're going to have your plan defined. So if it means the event has to happen after, that's okay as long as you're building a road map with a Okay. deadline, so to speak. Okay. Yeah, those are my two uh I think one more.

Well, just to finish with that, so that means whoever's on that committee that first meeting were to set goals and come back to the to this group and say, "Here's what our goals are." Yeah. Hold us accountable to it. Okay. Absolutely. All right. You said you had another one. No, it it actually just coincided with the first one with the um I just read it again. Yeah, I just read it again and it went went right with the first one. So, anybody have any questions about the strategic partnership ad hoc? Do you fully understand it? What its purpose and intent?

Not ad hoc without a group that wants to or can but I'm just saying for that to be an ad hoc if we are going to um establish one.

I'm just want to make sure that we understand what this what what it would look like the strategic partnership ad hoc and the know your rights ad hoc. Does anybody else have any other ones they are considering thinking about? the if I can I support the concept but I think triggering it as an ad hoc might make sense after the presentation from them about what partnerships they have in place and then going okay now here I see what you've got let's build forward who wants to help build a bridge from there because I think it's only a month or two out but are you speaking of the strategic yes partnership so like kind of table it right table it add in the parking lot

back up when we hear from them what all they Uh, so then we have more people present to see who would get engaged there. Yeah, I agree. 100% agree with that. Are we able to do that? Put the ad hoc in the parking lot. By the way, yeah, we don't have to create it tonight. So, we just we can create. You want to put the know your rights in the parking lot, too? You want to create it so we can get it going? Well, I'm a little Larry with the creating them when we're have so many people missing. So, I was just thinking and then and then you can always like like you said like when it comes Sorry

like you said when it comes to the ad hoc um you could like when it comes to the ad hoc you know we could set a plan on when we need to get it done as far as like the planning and everything the process it's just we just kind of want everyone here and I agree with that honestly I think it's going to be the brain trust in there with you right so so for this we're we're suggesting these as as potential ad hocs send it out to everybody that's not here and say Hey, think about this and come back next month and we'll we the strategic partnership one I was suggesting yeah gets resurrected after we hear from the department on the partnerships they have currently going on as a way to trigger that energy.

I agree with you on that. Yeah. Right. My question, can we table these ad hocs for later? And then even with our C uh CPRB annual report ad hoc, we have a not our full staff here. How are we going to Well, you you can still establish that ad hoc. I mean, the reality is you're going to need to do that one for sure. So, um I mean somebody doesn't have to be present in order to be part of that particular ad hoc.

Um or you know there's folks that you have here like I'll go ahead and be a part of that this year. However you want to decide to move forward on the creation of it. If if you if you put let's say two members, you know, and you wanted to add a third maybe at the next meeting, you're more than welcome to Got it. establish the ad hoc committee and then add someone to it. And of course, um, as noted in the bylaws, uh, chairperson Beasley Day, um, you that's at your discretion in order to appoint the appoint those members. Got it. Can she appoint the people that aren't here to the committees? She's able to appoint anybody that's a member of the board. You still can accept or decline.

Brad, you don't want that. Not that that doesn't exist. That's that doesn't happen in other ones that I've said in the past. And they want to put timelines on these. That was part of my hesitation on the other also. But I think the annual report is the critical one. It is the critical one. All right. Yep. And then throughout the year, I mean, you can always if there's especially if there as a topic um board member, there's uh like you said, this is a particular topic that happened. Yes. There's an app now that we'd like to create off of that. Who should we to establish the ad hoc annual comm? Yes. Committee report tonight and then figure out who's going to be on it. We're going to appoint the people on it.

Well, we don't have to appoint today. Yes. I would have to at least two people. Yes. Which two which two of you want to volunteer? You will. Frank. All right. Frank. Frank just stepped up. Thank you. Frank is one. You're on it. I know I'm I'm the fourth man in the uh in the fire. Um Christian, I will decline. I can't handle the timing right now. Austin, for what? The annual report committee.

Um I'm I would rather wait till everyone gets here to uh to accept or decline anything. So I think I would put myself on hold right now until until the next meeting. Why would you do such a thing as that? Um, no. I have personal reasons as as to that, you know. I just I just rather everyone be here, you know, and I just think if everyone's here, you know, people say yes or no, then there'll be a decision that, you know, I can make, right, Brad? I'm very busy. Well, I thought I was retired, but I'm not. Oh, yeah. That retired on board.

No, I'm not. Can't retire when you're a community person either. Um, that's true. Is having is I'm sorry. Um, personally, I was on the last two annual reports, so I would like to step back to allow someone else to step in place for that. Um um and then I probably have some stuff going on this upcoming few months and we'll be out of commission for a little while.

So I'll I'll I'll um I'll take I'll I'll I'll say yes, but I just I'll say yes with some caution. The reason why I'm saying with caution is because I have interest in other ad hocs that we we created tonight and and just settling myself up to I really want to be there. I think that's my biggest thing and and I don't want to I've had a problem with saying yes too much. So that's where my question was actually going to come back to staff. If Frank stepped up saying he's willing to be on the annual report subcommittee and Latricia sits on it, is that enough to establish it for tonight and then we or she Yes. can backfill in?

Yeah, you you could establish it with one person. I mean, it really it's just there's up to three and then the chair is the four. What do I Who am I missing? Wendy, Ken, Nancy, and that's it. Yeah. Well, like I said, it's open. I hope it's open, but you haven't. You've accomplished it for now. All right. I'll check in with them on my own. All right. Ready for a motion? Am I? Yeah. Um, I'm going to just seek some clarification. Yes. So, I have you down. So, Austin, is that a yes from you? No, it's Frank.

No, it's Frank. For Frank. Frank is yes. Okay. And then Tracy of Easy Day. Well, yeah. I'm the obvious one, but this is supposed to be kind of like a those assigned projects that you get grouped and you don't want to be grouped, but you have to be grouped. Okay. Okay. So, we have two members currently. Yes. Um, Alex, are we good to proceed and then we can just revisit it? How would that work? I just want you to chime in so I can make note.

Yeah. All All we need to do tonight is a motion to create the committee. We don't need to assign people tonight and and the chair can assign um people later on. That that's what the bylaws provide. And you know, it doesn't have to be it can be up to four people, but if you know there's only three people that want to do it or are willing, it can be like Scotty mentioned, it could be smaller as well. You said it could have four on there. I would be the fourth one. Yeah. Three people and then I would be the fourth man in the fire. He's helping me out with those numbers.

Right. So, can I get a motion to establish the CPRB ad hoc committee? I'll make a motion. Ma'am, I have one motion. I have a second. Yes. Thank you. Madame clerk, can you do the roll call? Member Christensen. Yes. Member Grant. Hi. Member Jell. Hi. Chairman Beasley Day. Yes. Member Han. Hi. Member Sorio.

All right. Then the motion carries and we have our CPRB ad hoc committee established. All right, we'll move on to staff comments and reports. Is our friend Stephen here tonight? I actually have one question before we move on. So, with the ad hoc with the with the new ad hocs that we have that we're creating and with the old ones, will the old ones be absolved or do we keep them?

We were just on I know question. That is Stephen with the beard.

Good evening, Stephen. Thank you, Chair Beasley Day, uh, for that warm welcome, uh, and for noticing the the new look here. Um, so, yeah, I have been monitoring the proceedings remotely tonight. Happy to have the opportunity to to be with you at least in this way. Uh, and I know that a lot of the focus has been on planning for the next few months and and topics that you are going to be uh, putting on your schedule. Uh I just wanted to check in to update you. I if I'm remembering this correctly, I am supposed to be there in April uh for for April your April meeting to present the U independent police auditor annual report. uh and I am still on schedule to to be able to provide you with that report ahead of time so you can digest it a little bit and then present publicly uh at at your April meeting. Uh I have been working closely with Lieutenant Clyber just in terms of rounding up the the pool of cases that are going to be looked at. he has provided me with with everything that I've needed or am going to need and and I'm distributing some of the um individual case packages to some of my colleagues just to get some other sets of eyes on it and some different perspectives. There are approximately 50 uh internal affairs investigations, public complaints and internally generated complaints that that uh are are that the IPA office is going to be looking at. And then I think the the number that we arrived at when we just applied the formula was about 60 use of force incidents. And again looking at the the package that the department puts together as far as investigating those looking at the bodywn camera from the incidents the department's analysis of it etc. So, uh, I have the raw material

in terms of completed cases and and I'm looking forward to getting through that, putting some thoughts and recommendations together as with the past couple years and sharing that with you uh in in the weeks to come. And other than that, uh, again, happy to be here, happy to answer any questions that you folks have and otherwise, I will I will look forward to seeing you next month.

Um, I have a question. Um the first that's the first time I can recall you saying that you share some of this with colleagues to get another set of eyes totally get the purpose behind that. Are they all employees with you? Are they other partners? And do they all have law enforcement backgrounds? So the the great question uh and and my colleague Mike Janakco is somebody that that has probably been most would be most familiar to you but we have a core group of of four people that are part of OIR group. Everybody has uh uh ample qualifications as far as familiarity with with oversight work and police practices and everything else. And yeah I I am going to be very careful. I I will certainly be doing the lion's share of them myself, but we'll that I have a lot of trust in my colleagues and and we'll make sure that uh the process is well coordinated.

Thank you. Awesome. Any other questions for Steve?

Okay. and no public comments. All right. Thank you very much, Stephen. All right. Thank you, chair. So, next up is staff comments and reports briefly on his activities. All right. So, staff comments and reports. Um, Scotty, your lovely name is here. At this time, staff may make a brief announcement or report briefly on his her activities. I will be reporting on behalf of Scotty.

What you say?

Um, I know we've had uh quite a mention on the questions for business cards, polls, and such. So, I am working with our communications team currently to kind of get those things situated. It does take a little bit because we have to work through all the design portions, keeping it in line with uh our branding, and then just carrying out orders. So, we're figuring all of that out. Um, off the top of my head, the key things I've heard is uh some sort of like polo that has your name, but we're thinking of business cards. Uh, I know a brochure was mentioned. We're thinking perhaps like a flyer, maybe a QR code that links them back to um the CPRB web page for more information that might be best. Um and this is all going to be pending approval city manager. So we do like the design work, all of the curation, getting the prices, everything. So there's a process to it. Um and as we move through that and we get the approval, we'll report back to you guys.

What about a nice badge? You know, that works. I like that. I think I I think that's uh that's something I'll notate. Yeah, the police department does have junior police officer badges. Oh man, I thought you had to be a minor to get those. Well, I think that the community police review board needs to have their own and you know or even you know created so that when we're out that's what it says so we know we are for you. That's funny. I love you. supposed to be either. The badge could go on any shirt, right? So, that's a good idea. I'll notate that and like I said, as we move through that, get our approvals. I will keep you guys posted.

Board member Bird would be the first one sitting here saying, "What about a tablecloth or a popup?" Yes, I have that notated as well and we'll report back on that. Okay. Um, my question is, what about social media presence? Um, it's been a topic for quite some time now and I have yet to see any kind of posting from the city.

I will defer to I think Alex. Um, there's I think we've prefaced this a little bit before. Um, as you'll notice if you go into social media, the rest of our boards and commissions also are not advertised on social media. Um, so I think there's a I don't know if it's a standing policy or what how that works, but I think I want to defer to Alex to kind of address that.

Yeah, that's the the city's practice. Um, certainly if if that's the board is something that's interested interested in doing. Um, that's a conversation staff could bring to the city manager um for for his direction and to discuss that with him. Yeah, because I think what happens is, you know, you do it for one, you have to do it for all. And I believe we have 22 boards and commissions, maybe more. We actually have total of 51. I was way off. Some some aren't currently meeting, but the total of about 51 boards, commissions, and committees that are advisory to the council.

Cuz I I don't want to like pull teeth here, but I see, you know, meetings of different things that the city puts on uh art uh area that they want to change in the city to make it artsy and stuff like that. And they post about it. There's going to be a committee meeting, city constituents show up, give us your ideas on what you want, things like that. And if this is a community police review board, we all here know how many people are in this room currently. And I just think if there was some kind of social media presence, we'd probably get more community input um into our board meeting. So, yeah, if if that's a possibility to to raise to the city manager, I would greatly appreciate it.

Well, this is I mean, this is not a topic of discussion. It's an agenda item. However, we will definitely uh take this information and consider it internally. Um and then you know like like what was shared just prior uh the you know the city manager, our communications department, they have already weighed in and as uh you know city attorney just noted but appreciate the input and uh we'll consider that. Right. Any other uh update on this our our swag?

No, not at this time. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Simmyi. Um, all right. Any announcements from staff, your activities or things from board? I mean, excuse me, from board, pardon me. Yes. Um, chairman, I guess you would go go back down to board comments and reports and then start off with policy goal eight. All right. I just like read it out.

All right. You said Oh, yes. All right. Board comments and reports. Policy goal number eight. Review use of force policy to minimize likelihood of death resulting from use of force. Austin, do you have any Have you guys dissolved? No, we don't have anything to report at this time. Okay. Closing down this. Are you guys ready to close out this ad hoc committee? Not sure.

Okay. Policy goal number one, improve relations between the community and the department. That'd be myself, Trish, and Frank. Um, as I mentioned last month, we've not been meeting in months. We did some initial outreach and um, at this point are comfortable um, suns setting or closing down the ad hoc to move on to new ones. Thank you.

Policy goal number three, reduce youth arrest particularly among Latino youth. I don't know how my name got on there. I'm not on that committee, but okay. Wendy Bird, Brad Han, and Nico Salorio. Any report? Uh, Nico or Brad? I have nothing for tonight. Yeah. Are you guys ready to sunset that uh ad hoc committee?

Um, I think we are because we plan on just creating a different, more focused ad hoc. So, Right. Any uh so no one had any announcements or um reports of your activities or anything. So uh I'm going to go back to you Austin. Are you suns setting policy goal number eight or you still say you don't know? Um I'm going to say I don't know. I didn't talk to my other policy members as of yet if they would like to dissolve yet. So we're just gonna I'm gonna just say not sure right now. So I'm going to say no. We're not looking to dissolve at this moment.

Okay. All right. So, we are suns setting policy goal number one and policy goal number three.

Does there have to be a motion on that? No. Okay. Um and uh let's see. Future agenda items. I think we already have those laid out. Yes. It was just TBD because we were going to finalize them, right? And anything else? I think we are ready to adjourn this meeting and our next meeting will be March 18th. Mark your calendar.
