Greg Tempel suggested that everything be addressed on one memo and redact out the parts that are confidential to FCPD. By-laws Greg Tempel presented a draft of by-laws. Copy attached. The bulk of the meeting was spent reviewing and amending the draft. Rick Aulino made the suggestion that by-laws be changed to reflect that all business of the CRB will be conducted at an open meeting, including granting of extensions if time allows. It was noted that some special sessions may have to be called for extenuating circumstances but that most issues that need board input, approval or selection of subcommittee should be known well enough in CRB Special Meeting • 10-20-99, 6:30 p.m. page 2 advance so that most business can be accomplished in regular business sessions. Article IV -Section 2 regarding open/closed sessions at officer's request will require code change. There is concern that subcommittee would have a hard time maintaining confidentiality of the IA file if an involved officer requested that a subcommittee consider and discuss the evidence in an open session. A change in code must be requested by City Council or a Department of the City. Hal Dean will ask FCPD to make a formal request of code change. Greg Tempel will make suggested changes and present to CRB at the next meeting. CRB Training Discussion ensued related to CRB training sessions, who is responsible for determining training and monitoring if training is completed by all members of CRB.
