I. Introduction <br />This staff report is submitted to the Eugene City Council to document the activities of the Police <br />Commission during Fiscal Year (FY) 2006. The annual report describes how the commission has met <br />the expectations of the City Council, as delineated in its work plan, has responded to issues of <br />community concern, and has furthered its mission and objectives. <br />The charge of the Police Commission, described in City Ordinance 20136, can be distilled into three <br />main components: <br />1)improve communication between the police and the community, thereby decreasing <br />misunderstandings about policies and practices and helping to build consensus around <br />preferred policing alternatives for the city; <br />2)identify policy and resource issues related to preferred policing alternatives, and to assist the <br />City Council in balancing police resources with community priorities; and <br />3)provide input on police policies and procedures that reflects community values. <br />The Police Commission was operating under an interim work plan for the majority of last year. The <br />interim plan was, in large part, a continuation of the projects already identified and underway. The <br />main activities were to review the draft Eugene Police Strategic Plan and assist with the <br />implementation of the civilian oversight model. These results of these efforts, and new endeavors, are <br />described in the following sections. <br /> II.Accomplishments <br />A.

This year’s meeting schedule, <br />while not as demanding as last year’s, provided numerous opportunities for community involvement in <br />the commission’s work. In addition to the ten regular monthly police commission meetings, in FY06, <br />the commission sponsored twenty-three committee and task group meetings. This does not include the <br />work planning sessions with the City Council or the Chair’s participation in the City Council’s ad hoc <br />committee on the police auditor recruitment process. Although there was often less public <br />participation in this year’s commission meetings than during the development of the oversight model, <br />meeting materials were provided to stakeholders, including the steering committee for Communities <br />United for Better Policing, to keep interested parties informed of the process and issues under <br />discussion. <br />As mentioned earlier, the Police Commission was primarily involved in strategic plan review in the <br />first half of the fiscal year.Following the November 2006 election, its attention turned to oversight <br />model implementation tasks. However, several information work sessions on other topics were <br />conducted throughout the year, which broadened opportunities for public participation and <br />understanding on other policing issues. For example, two work sessions were held on police <br />
