Ms. Ortiz voiced support for Mr. Laue’s inclusion on the ad hoc committee and said his <br />participation would be invaluable to the process. She opined that council authority would not be <br />compromised and said she looked forward to the entire council providing feedback to the <br />committee as it moves through the process. With regard to the use of a professional recruiter, Ms. <br />Ortiz pointed out that there were only a small number of individuals in this specialized field who <br />were currently qualified for the position. Therefore, she voiced her preference for in-house staff <br />to provide its assistance and expressed confidence in their ability to present qualified candidates <br />to the council. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy commented that she looked forward to serving on the committee and moving the <br />process forward. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor voiced support for the substitute motion presented by Mr. Kelly. <br /> <br />The motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon, seconded by Ms. Ortiz, moved to direct the City Manager to <br />review current policies and code language to determine if current language was <br />in need of revision or expansion as they relate to the implementation of Section <br />15-A of the Eugene Charter. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked for clarification as to what the above motion would entail and how it related to <br />the Police Commission’s adopted workplan, which speaks to this issue. Ms. Walston explained <br />that the motion dovetailed with the commission’s workplan. She explained that Chapter 2 would <br />need to be updated so that the Civilian Review Board would be identified and the Police <br />Commission would be involved with this discussion. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Ms. Bettman, Ms. Walston replied that the Police Commission and <br />its staff would work in conjunction with the City Manager’s Office to ascertain what policies <br />need to be revised. Ms. Bettman suggested that the Police Commission establish a subcommittee <br />to review ordinances and craft a recommendation for the City Manager’s office. <br /> <br /> <br />The motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:08 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M.
