REGULAR MEETING
kept online. These are now located at the bottom of the Citizen Review Board
site page and can be accessed by clicking on the CiRB Subcommittee link,

Commissions Coordinator to find out if a direct link to subcommittee
documents can be placed on the Citizen Review Board site page and to learn
where any missing documents can be found.
7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Voicemail: Voicemail from Jake. Beth called him back and spoke to him.
Jake is concerned about what seems to be inconsistent application of the law
to protestors outside of Planned Parenthood. Beth recommended that he file
a complaint with FCPS.
b. E-mail: Email from Erica Centeno. Shamera emailed her back and provided
her with resources for filing a complaint with Larimer Department of Human
Services
c. Training: Homeless Outreach and Proactive Engagement (HOPE). Sergeant
Annie Hill gave a presentation about the new HOPE team and their work with
unhoused people to consolidate services and provide resources. The HOPE
team works with local organizations like the Murphy Center and Outreach Fort
Collins and other government agencies like the Sheriff’s Office, CSU,
Loveland PD, and PFA to build relationships with individuals who are
struggling with financial, mental, and substance abuse issues. They assist
with coordination in obtaining shelter, clothing, benefits, etc. The team can be
contacted at HOPE@fcgov.com or by calling the non-emergency number at
FCPS and asking to speak to a HOPE officer.
d. Introductory discussion: The goal is for the CiRB to adopt Rules of
Procedure to replace bylaws no longer in effect. CiRB has specific
procedures it follows when reviewing an administrative investigation.
Establishing Rules and Procedures is a method of ensuring that those rules
are documented. At the next meeting, after board members have had a
chance to review and email any legal questions to Jenny Lopez Filkins, the
CiRB agenda will include an agenda item on this topic.
