ATTACHMENT E Police Commission Work Plan 3uly aoo5 - March aoo6 Background Eugene City Code requires that the Police Commission submit a yearly work plan to City Council for review and approval. On July 28, 2004, City Council approved the commission's fiscal year 2005 work plan and an associated contingency fund request to expedite completion of the police complaint system review. In the past year, the commission has focused almost exclusively on a large and ambitious review of internal affairs and civilian oversight processes. The group also completed several other projects included in its work plan, such as the In-Car Video policy development, and to the extent feasible, responded to emerging issues such as the PERF/ICMA report. The commission's accomplishments over the last year are documented in its Annual Report, included as Attachment A. Normally, over the course of its June and July meetings, the commission would develop a new work plan for City Council review and adoption. However, the commission's recent meetings have been devoted almost entirely to the development of conceptual police oversight model and associated procedural recommendations. It is anticipated that once the model is presented to the City Council for its consideration, a significant body of work related to model refinement and development of requisite policy and ordinance language will remain. Recognizing the on-going and evolving body of work related to the police complaint system and its own meeting time constraints to develop a new work plan, the commission is requesting a nine-month work plan extension. The extension will allow time for the commission to: 1) Continue development of the oversight model and participate in creating draft ordinance and policy language necessary to support model implementation; 2) Adapt the model as necessary to reflect the outcome of a vote to change the City Charter vote, if City Council decides to put forth such a measure; 3) Make recommendations for any changes to its role/function relative to the oversight system and consider how those changes will impact future work plans (this could require changes to existing ordinance). The Police Commission has updated the FY05 work plan to indicate completed projects, modify the task associated with the internal affairs and civilian oversight project to reflect anticipated next steps, and to include a new item reflecting the commission's role in assessing progress towards implementation of the PERF/ICMA recommendations contained in the department's strategic plan. These efforts are described on the following pages. Adopted June 23, 2005
