Public Safety Committee - First Meeting
Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2020 10:23 am
Colleagues,
Posting on behalf of CM Flannigan:
Thank you again for your support on Item 93 - converting the Judicial Committee to the Public Safety Committee. And thank you for your trust in my chairing this important committee in this important moment. As we did in the Judicial Committee, I intend to continue making this a focused and active effort, where we are able to track implementation of council direction and provide increased council involvement and accountability for our public safety departments. No meetings just for the sake of meeting, we are gonna get to work.
Due to the urgency of the community and of the moment, we posted Item 93 as an emergency item and intend to hold our first meeting next Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 1pm. I’d like to encourage any Council Member who’d like to attend to join us, and also recognize that any members who are unable to join are rightfully excused - acknowledging that the past two weeks have required an inordinate and unique amount of focus and work, especially for the members of the Judicial Committee who authored the items we approved.
A meeting agenda will be posted shortly, but will include the opportunity to hear from and collaborate with the city manager’s office and executive leadership on how they intend to begin the implementation process for the resolutions passed last night. We intend to meet monthly through at least the end of the year, to continue the ongoing work that is essential to successfully accomplish the scale of reform we are contemplating.
Please let Catie Powers in the agenda office know if you intend to participate next week so we can assure you have the sign-in information, etc. An agenda will be posted no later than 1pm on Monday.
Thank you,
Jimmy
