other City executives or division representatives. Ms. Holmes responded that the council was free to add <br />other members to the panel but advised that any such persons should have a thorough understanding of the <br />nature of the police auditor position. <br />Ms. Holmes, responding to a question from Ms. Taylor, noted that members of the Civilian Review Board <br />would be included in the community member panel to be conducted during the interview process. <br />Ms. Piercy suggested that members of the business community and homeless advocacy community be <br />included on the community member panel. <br />The council briefly discussed various community members and City representatives that might serve on the <br />community member panel during the interview process. <br />Ms. Holmes reminded the council that the internal stakeholder panel would be meeting on Monday, February <br />23, 2009. <br />Ms. Holmes confirmed that the council had had the opportunity to weigh in and give input on which groups <br />or individuals should be included in the community stakeholder panel. She further noted that the council had <br />been considering either identifying particular groups who would choose and send their own representatives, <br />or having each council member identify two individuals who would be invited to serve on the panel. <br />Ms. Ortiz felt that the councilors should each submit two names of recommended community panel <br />participants using the staff’s list of recommended groups to help identify those persons. <br />Ms. Ortiz, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to have each City Councilor and the <br />Mayor submit two names from the list of organizations recommended by staff to <br />serve as participants on the community member stakeholder panel during the police <br />auditor candidate interview process. <br />Ms. Taylor felt that suggesting names from the list of staff recommended groups was not a good idea and <br />alternatively suggested that the councilors and Mayor should chose two names regardless of their group <br />affiliation. <br />Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to substitute that each City Councilor <br />and the Mayor choose two individuals to serve as participants on the community <br />member stakeholder panel during the police auditor candidate interview process. <br />Mr. Clark maintained that selecting names from a list of recommended groups might create a less balanced <br />panel although he noted that he could find either approach acceptable. <br />Ms. Ortiz, responding to a request for clarification from Mr. Zelenka, noted that it would be feasible to <br />select names from the recommended groups list and then select additional individuals to supplement the <br />community panel if needed. Both Mr. Zelenka and Mr. Pryor found Ms. Ortiz’s hybrid approach <br />acceptable. <br />Ms. Taylor did not like the categories from the list of organizations recommended by staff such as “people <br />of faith.” She felt that representatives from University of Oregon student groups should be included on the <br />community panel. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 11, 2009 Page 2 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
