Martinez seconded the motion. There was no discussion and the motion passed 3.0.
Case #2004-15 — Sgt. Pearson asked for a final, revised copy of the minutes approved for this
subcommittee at the prior meeting. Brian Carroll stated that he thought the revised version was
sufficient, and that is why Monica Garcia has signed it. He was unsure whether or not he still had
an electronic version, but would check and forward it if he does find it.
New Business:
HRC Training - Sgt. Pearson stated he gave a presentation to the HRC and received good
feedback. The presentation was regarding the IA process and the CRB process. Eight people
were trained and they now have current and up to date information.
Pending Cases — Case #2004-23 was distributed to Brian Carroll and Dennis Baker. Sgt.
Pearson will deliver to Becky Richardson and Monica Garcia. An extension will not be needed,
as the minutes will reflect that the case was received by the Board via those subcommittee
members present.
Sgt. Pearson stated that he may consider making the due date for cases on the Friday following
the monthly CRB meeting to avoid the problem of members not being present at the regular
meetings. This will allow time for distribution in the event a subcommittee member misses the
regular meeting.
The process for notification was discussed. It was clarified that the chair of the subcommittee is
responsible for notifying the complainant of the subcommittee review. The Board discussed
including a copy of the notification in the file. Greg Tempel clarified that notification can be via
telephone, email, or regular mail.
