Public Input:
Elaine Boni, Human Relations Commission Liaison, noted the Main Library had long been one
of the locations at which citizens could pick up complaint forms. For a time they stocked the
actual forms but after a while they put up a sign saying the forms were available online and, if
needed, library personnel would assist in accessing them. The sign has since been taken
down. She asked if someone would please check into making the forms available or putting the
sign back up there. Sgt. Yeager said he would.

L) ORIGINAL
BrewFest Patrol—Sgt. Yeager'reported arrangements have been made for CRB members to
accompany officers patrolling BrewFest on June 27 and 28, 2009. Shifts both days run from 11
a.m. to 6 p.m. He suggested reporting at least 1 hour after the shift has started to allow the
supervisor time to coordinate logistics. Glenn recommended a 2-6 p.m. shift as a time when
you'd get a good representation of crowd interactions and what an officer might experience. He
said it didn't matter to him which day he was assigned —keeping the other day open for some
limited to one. Members who had not already registered their interest could still do so by
notifying Lt. Dodd via email by April 17. Anne Berry, Robin Penny and Glenn Strunk have
indicated their interest.
Training—Sgt. Yeager said he'd made arrangements for the following training: .
• Defensive Tactics training after the regular meeting tonight
• Firearms training after the regular meeting May 13 (unless usurped by the scheduling of
a Case L112009-001 subcommittee meeting). The class format would be show -tell —
Arlene & Robin said they are okay with that format. Jim said he could go either way
(with show and tell or an alternate hands�on class option.)
Pending Cases:
Case L112009-001
Sgt. Yeager provided a status report on the availability of Case L112009-001 materials. The
information is slow in coming based on a pace set by the two complainants. He's just
completed the two interviews (one male and one female). It's very likely he'll need a 30-day
extension (allowed automatically) to complete the case files and to allow time for review by the
chain of command. The subcommittee agreed they'd set a meeting date which allows
subcommittee members time to review. They are open to setting a date other than the regular
CRB meeting night and are aware of the public/complainant notification requirements and that
there is a 90% probability that one of the complainants (male) will be in attendance. .
Case L112009-002
A drawing for the subcommittee for Case L112009-002 was made by Elaine Boni.
The results are as follows:
James O'Neill, Chair
Robin Penny, Vice -Chair

Adjournment:

motion was approved 7:0 and the meeting was adjourned at 5:53 p.m.
