b. Packets contain a recently passed resolution naming Susan Gutowsky as the
Council Liaison to the Citizen Review Board. Shamera Loose will reach out to
her to invite her to attend a meeting for the board to have an opportunity to
meet her.
c. Nominations for new positions will take place in April.
d. There was an officer-involved shooting that the DA is currently investigating.
The board should expect to receive this report in a couple of months.
• There was discussion about when it would be appropriate to draw for
subcommittee positions for the next case and if it is allowed to limit the
pool of members to be drawn, since new board members will be joining
the board in April and will need additional training. Sara Arfmann clarified
that the drawing could not take place until the board received the report
and that more research will be required about the parameters of who must
be included in subcommittee drawings. By March, the board can
anticipate having more information about when the report will be received
and when next steps should take place for that case.
• There will not be a training in March, and April’s training will be from the
City Attorney’s Office for New Board Member Orientation.
10. ADJOURNMENT – Elizabeth Grant motioned to adjourn, seconded by Mike
