ISSUE STATEMENT
This is a work session to provide information and recommendations on both short-term and long-term
review processes regarding the performance evaluation of the Police Auditor.
BACKGROUND
Cris Beamud was hired as Police Auditor by the City Council on October 16, 2006. The office became
fully operational and began intake of complaints in October 2007. The Police Auditor is past due for her
annual evaluation and corresponding merit increase. The focus of the work session on March 10 will be
to develop an abbreviated evaluation process to look back at Ms. Beamud’s performance since her date
of hire. This abbreviated evaluation process is currently scheduled for a work session on April 9.
Whichever option is chosen in preparation for the April 9 meeting, three documents are included to
assist the council in this process.
The Charter language calls for the Citizen Review Board to be involved in the development of the Police
Auditor evaluation process.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
City of Eugene Ordinance No. 20374 provides the framework for the reporting relationship between the
City Council and the Police Auditor including the role of the Citizen Review Board in the evaluation
process.
