Ms. Bettman said that many people were dissatisfied with the Hobson Report and felt that what was <br />needed was a comprehensive performance audit of the Police Department, comparing where resources <br />were with where they should be. She asked if definitive action by the council was required for the <br />department to bring back a proposal for a comprehensive examination of staffing, service and performance <br />to be included in the budget. City Manager Taylor said the first approach was to look at support and <br />Communication Center staff as well as investigation and other capacities. He said that would provide a <br />range of options for the strategic plan that could result in recommendations for fiscal years 2006 and <br />2007. He said it was not necessarily envisioned that the strategic plan would recommend a comprehensive <br />performance audit on that level in the next two years, but was something worthy of consideration and <br />could be brought to the council for prioritization. Chief Lehner stated that information from the proposed <br />staffing study could help frame that question. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she preferred a comprehensive audit instead of spending $40,000 on the staffing study. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy called for a third round of questions and comments. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly requested a memorandum explaining the scope of the proposed staffing study. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy thanked everyone for a thoughtful discussion and adjourned the meeting at 1:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Dennis M. Taylor <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Lynn Taylor) <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 2005 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
