Do we have a motion?

All right, all those in favor.

Aye.

Abstain.

Any abstentions?

Stay.

Moving forward, we we do want to set up a in-in-person meeting with Captain Greenley.

So we want to really focus on that.

So that those are some of the things that we're we've been talking about.

All right.

Okay, thank you.

Uh Richard Falcon here representing the accountability committee.

And I've got a couple of things here that I'd like to touch on as far as our status.

Uh number one, we met three times as an ad hoc committee, uh trying to gather a lot of information to bring ourselves up to date.

Uh we were provided as Captain Kathy Lester as our liaison.

And Kathy Lest Captain Lester did have a chance to come to one of our meetings, and she provided an overview of the accomplishments and initiatives that were implemented with SAC PD to concern to answer some of the concerns from the public.

But one of the things we weren't clear about is what did these accomplishments and how did they line up with some of the information that was provided by the public as far as the areas that they wanted to touch on related to accountability and transparency.

So we had asked Captain Lester if she could take the time to match the accomplishments of what they have in place today against uh some of the recommendations from the public at previous meetings to so we can get a sense of what was it, what's in place today, what was requested, how they line up, so that when we come to these forums, we could be educated to answer the questions from the community saying, Well, we talked about this, what have you done about this?

Uh the accountability committee would also like to collaborate with our other ad hoc committee representatives on diversity and pull together a single community meeting touching on diversity and accountability so that we don't have to tie up too much time from the public in trying to present the items and talk about the areas where we have made improvements and where the where we uh might have some gaps in uh implementation.

Uh this way we can come up and uh talk about what's been accomplished to date along with top recommendations.

We strongly, strongly feel that these committees simultaneously on the same day, so the public won't be inconvenienced.

We figure that the format of the meeting would be to introduce ourselves as the new commission.

And our intention is to bridge the recommendations of the past and present to demonstrate progress and growth, to solicit new recommendations or new focus, and that together, commission and public, we would choose those top three recommendations and our commitment to address and report back periodically.

So one of the things we talked about as a possibility for this meeting would be, as we said, to suggest one meeting north of the river and one meeting south of the river, that we would be combining our two ad hocs so that we you know, and and we realize that you know we'll have to post under the Brown Act.

We think that's a good thing.

We would view this more as a listening session, not one where we would provide answers.

Uh we would choose whoever would be facilitating the meetings.

Would it be our chair or our vice chair?

Make decisions about whether SAC PD should be present at the meeting, and if so, you know, do we have them there for the entire meeting?

Do we bring them just you know at some level midpoint?

Um make sure that whatever it is that is discussed, we're staying within two minute time limits per the speaker per standard city policy.

We would assign somebody to take detailed notes for the meeting summary.

Uh make some decisions as far as how do we capture the material and everything that's present in that, whether it be large tablet, writing down things on whiteboards, these kind of things like this, uh providing handouts on earlier public comments because there have been previous meetings and previous information that has been gathered from the public to help remind the public of those previous forums.

And then a formal sign-in sheet uh so that we can get as many e d email addresses as possible so that again we can follow up with meeting summaries, our recommendations, etc.

And then some decisions.

You know, do we provide water?

Do we provide coffee?

What do we provide for them since they're gonna be there for a period of time gathering information?

So again, from our accountability ad hoc committee, we strongly strongly feel we need more time to gather the information to allow Captain Lester to help us put that information together, tie it to previous uh forums, and then come together as a unit instead of separately to uh address the public.
