Portions ofthe Resource Recovery Farm to LaFarge Corporation for Sand and Gravel Mining
in Order to Protect Sensitive Natural Habitats Along the Cache la Poudre River.

Colorado State University.
8. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 17, 2000, Amending Portions of the City Code
Concerning the Citizen Review Board Subcommittees.
The current provisions of the City Code concerning the Citizen Review Board(CRB)require
that the CRB maintain the confidentiality of all internal investigation files and all
information and evidence received which are related to personnel matters(§2-140(h)). This
provision is consistent with the need to maintain the confidentiality of personnel files and
internal investigation files,but is not consistent with other provisions of the City Code which
allow police and community service officers who may be the subject of the investigation to
request that the review sessions of the CRB subcommittees be open to the public. Ordinance
No. 17, 2000, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 15, 2000,
amends the City Code allowing the CRB review subcommittees to maintain the
confidentiality of those portions of the subcommittee review sessions that do not directly
relate to the officer's personnel interest.
