messages this month and she last checked at 4:45 p.m. on August 8. She said there were two emails
from Mrs. Gallaher. One was on July 13 when she asked why the driver was not cited. The other
was August 6 to the District Attorney’s office seeking an answer to the same question. Anne

and Music Festival. More information is available at www.drsgrassrootsfestival.org or by calling 449-
6973.
HRC Liaison Elaine Boni was in attendance.
New Business:
Digital Copies of Internal Affairs Reports
Sgt. Robinson asked the board if some members preferred electronic copies of Internal Affairs
reports. All preferred paper copies as that medium aided them in studying, referring back, and
making notes as needed. Sgt. Robinson will continue the current practice of distributing only paper
copies.

Electronic Signature
Sgt. Robinson reported that there is no need to move forward with digital signatures if the board wants
to continue using paper reports.
HRC Meeting
Anne Berry reported that both she and Vice-Chair Glenn Strunk visited the Human Relations
Commission on July 12. The HRC was interested in learning what the CRB does and how they
function. They appreciated their visit and the information provided. Anne reported it was a very
interesting meeting due to the fact that the work they do is so different from the CRB’s and that their
meetings last between 2 and 3 hours.
Mailing of Letter to Councilman Horak
Anne Berry reported the letter to support a boards and commissions retreat in the fall was sent to
CRB Council Liaison Gerry Horak. She said she received an acknowledgment of its receipt and
Councilmember Horak thanked them for the letter.
