Discussion
of Cases
Reviewed: None.
Pending
Cases: Cases #2002-8 and #2002-10 were passed out to the subcommittee
members for review. There was some discussion about timelines and
when subcommittee members were required to begin reviewing each case
as some members are sitting on both committees. Brian Carroll stated
that he didn't think it was fair for members to review two cases at the
same time, as cases and facts could be confused. Greg Tempel clarified
that the timeline starts when all subcommittee members receive the case
and the Board can request extensions. A date was set for Case #2002-8
on December 4 at 6:00 p.m. Lt. Carlson will schedule a room. Case
#2002-10 will be reviewed on December 18 after the regular meeting.
Old
Business:
Work
Plan : The Board reviewed the draft work plan prepared by Lt. Carlson. There
was discussion regarding the Satisfaction Survey. Former Board member
Rick Aulino had been spearheading this project and there was some
question as to its status. Harry Edwards suggested that the work plan be
revised to state that the Board will "explore development of a Satisfaction
Survey' and the Board agreed. Next, the Board discussed the work plan
item regarding identifying and establishing relationships with specific
groups: It was mentioned that the Soapbox article that former Board
member Rick Aulino had been working on was related to this item. David
Evans asked about doing outreach and Lt. Carlson stated the CRB does
not have a budget but specific requests can be made to the City Manager.
Becky Richardson stated that the HRC has been trying to expand its role
in helping citizens file complaints and that the CRB voice mail message
states that it will find someone to assist citizens in filing a complaint. Lt.
Carlson stated that last year, the idea had been that each member was
going to pick a group and meet with that group throughout the year but
other time commitments made this difficult. Brian Carroll suggested that
the work plan item be revised to include "as opportunities present
themselves, CRB will identify and develop relationships with specific
groups." All agreed. No other changes were discussed and Lt. Carlson
will forward the final work plan to the City Clerk's Office.
Dec.
Meeting: It was agreed by the Board not to cancel its December 18 meeting.
Adjournment: Harry Edwards made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Becky
Richardson seconded the motion. There was no discussion and
the motion passed 6-0. The meeting adjourned at 6:53 p.m.
