Mr. Kelly indicated he could support the motion to reconsider. He believed the council honored the <br />spirit of Mr. Fart's request by ensuring that a voter from the prevailing side would resubmit the <br />motion. <br /> <br /> The motion to reconsider passed unanimously, 8:0 <br /> <br /> Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson, to appoint Tim Laue to a <br /> three-year position on the Police Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Farr expressed surprise that Mr. Laue's nomination had been rejected by the council given his <br />tireless dedication to the field of public safety and his qualifications to sit on the commission. Mr. <br />Laue had tirelessly worked on the issues involved. Mr. Laue would bring history on the topic to the <br />Police Commission and would help focus the work of the commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Farr referred to the diversity issue raised as a reason for rejecting Mr. Laue. He said he had <br />discussed the issue of diversity as it related to Mr. Laue's appointment with Ron Chase, who had <br />expressed disbelief that Mr. Laue was not appointed. He had believed that Mr. Laue should be on <br />the commission. He reminded the council that Mr. Chase had worked for many years to ensure the <br />Police Department was diverse and accountable. <br /> <br />Mr. Fart reminded the council that Mr. Laue was dedicated to public safety, and would bring a great <br />deal of knowledge and dedication to the commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Lee noted his previous support for Tim Laue and said that given the position was still vacant the <br />council needed to make a decision. He was persuaded by the arguments of Ron Chase, who had <br />contacted him the previous day with his concerns. Mr. Lee said that Mr. Chase supported the <br />appointment of Mr. Laue, and he concurred. He termed Mr. Laue the architect of the Police <br />Commission, and the person who ensured the representation of the Human Rights Commission on <br />the Police Commission. He noted Mr. Laue's dedication to human rights issues, and said he did <br />not accept arguments regarding diversity. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor said he ran against Mr. Laue because he did not think Mr. Laue was doing a good job. <br />He was reluctant to put Mr. Laue on another City committee for that reason. He said that having <br />worked with the Police and PSCC, he questioned Mr. Laue's impartiality in dealing with the police <br />and the issues the Police Commission would face. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson replied to Mr. Rayor's remarks about the impartiality of Mr. Laue. She said that it <br />was a legitimate issue, but she pointed out the commission would not review individual actions by <br />officers but rather would provide oversight on policy and procedures. She said that she had given <br />the matter of the individual appointment much thought, and it appeared to be a big deal for the <br />council but not for the community. Ms. Nathanson said that people were more concerned that the <br />commission worked well. She questioned whether the big deal was the person appointed or control <br />over the process because it was a "mayor nominate, council appoint" process. Ms. Nathanson did <br />not think there was a compelling argument against Mr. Laue as a member of the commission. She <br />indicated support for the appointment of Mr. Laue. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson reviewed the composition of the Police Commission. <br /> <br /> MINUTES-Eugene City Council June 16, 1999 Page 3 <br /> 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
