<br />In response to a question from Councilor Clark, Mayor Piercy affirmed that Ms. Kennedy had been one of
<br />the candidates put forward by the committee.
<br />
<br />Councilor Poling averred that the fact that Ms. Kennedy had contact with spouses of law enforcement
<br />officers should not be a disqualifier. He pointed out that the municipal court judge the council had
<br />appointed had frequent contact with police.
<br />
<br />Councilor Zelenka said both Ms. Kennedy and Ms. Thompson were qualified but he thought Ms. Thompson
<br />had a good background and would bring great skills to the position.
<br />
<br />Roll call vote; the vote was a tie, 4:4; councilors Poling, Clark, Solomon, and Pryor voting

<br />Piercy voted in opposition and the motion to amend failed on a final vote of 5:4.
<br />
<br />Roll call vote; the main motion passed, 5:3; councilors Poling, Clark, and Solomon voting
<br />in opposition.
<br />
<br />Mayor Piercy thanked all of the 39 applicants. She expressed appreciation for the “high caliber” of the
<br />applicants.
<br />
<br />Ms. Beamud felt the people of the community had stepped forward and the appointment of the CRB was a
<br />good step in establishing a transparent board.
<br />
<br />Councilor Zelenka thanked the steering committee. He believed that the establishment of the CRB was
<br />progress toward healing the community.
<br />
<br />Councilor Ortiz likened the process to a marathon that was just beginning. She wanted the City to give the
<br />perception that it was a safe place for all of the people to live and not just for some.
<br />
<br />Mayor Piercy said the CRB was charged with a “monumental task.”
