<br />Councilor Solomon asked the City Manager if the Police Department was also absorbing costs associated <br />with the Celebration. City Manager Taylor replied that he did not believe the Police Department would <br />absorb costs because of the allocation of funds to DEMI and the fact that the planned celebration would <br />pay its own way. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion to amend failed, 5:3; councilors Solomon, Poling, and <br />Papé voting in favor. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the main motion passed, 6:2; councilors Solomon and Papé voting <br />in opposition. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz referred to earlier remarks by Councilor Taylor about people receiving tickets when they <br />left their cars on the street overnight after drinking too much. She said it was important to encourage <br />people not to drink and drive and asked staff to consider ways to perhaps engage the business community in <br />a coupon program or other approaches that would not penalize those who made the responsible decision not <br />to drive when drunk. <br /> <br /> <br />4. ACTION: Appointment of Police Auditor <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy thanked all those involved in the police auditor selection process, those who came to the <br />community forum to share their thoughts, committees that worked on the concept and councilors who <br />participated in reviewing applications, particularly Councilor Bettman for traveling to Cambridge to <br />perform due diligence. She was sorry that Councilor Poling was unable to make the trip. She said all of <br />those efforts created an extraordinary background for making the decision on appointing an auditor and the <br />community should be proud. <br /> <br />Councilor Solomon, seconded by Councilor Ortiz, moved to appoint Cristina <br />Beamud to the position of Police Auditor and authorize members of the council’s <br />ad hoc committee to negotiate a salary and benefit package. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman thanked the council for sending her to do due diligence. She regretted that Councilor <br />Poling was unable to participate but with the assistance of Jim Gardner, the contracted investigator, a very <br />extensive background investigation was conducted. She described the broad range of people with whom <br />interviews were conducted and said that responses were extraordinarily positive; the candidate was very <br />uniquely qualified to fill the position of police auditor and work collaboratively with the community. She <br />urged unanimous support of the appointment. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly concurred with Councilor Bettman’s remarks. He said the materials provided from the <br />background investigation demonstrated that Ms. Beamud worked collaboratively and had the respect of <br />everyone in the Cambridge community. He would enthusiastically support the motion. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz echoed Councilor Bettman’s and Councilor Kelly’s comments. She thanked the commu- <br />nity and the Police Commission for all their work. She would support the motion. She felt that Ms. <br />Beamud was the best fit and would improve the credibility of the City with the community. <br /> <br />Councilor Poling expressed his extreme disappointment that he was unable to make the trip. He said he <br />spoke by telephone with Jim Gardner and voiced the issues and concerns that he anticipated raising during <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council August 14, 2006 Page 6 <br /> Regular Meeting <br />
