ISSUE STATEMENT
This item is to provide an opportunity for the council to appoint Cristina Beamud as the Police Auditor
for the City of Eugene, and to direct the Council Officers to negotiate compensation and terms of
employment with her in a manner consistent with the salary range and benefits approved by the council
on March 13, 2006.
BACKGROUND
On July 24 and 25, 2006, the Mayor and city councilors interviewed five candidates for the position of
Police Auditor. On July 25, 2006, the City Council identified Cristina Beamud as the finalist for the
position. On July 31 and August 1, 2006, Councilor Bettman and Jim Gardiner, an outside consultant
hired to assist with the background process, traveled to Massachusetts and conducted interviews with
various staff and community contacts regarding Ms. Beamud. A background report written by Mr.
Gardiner and reviewed by Councilor Bettman will be forwarded to the Mayor and the City Council prior
to the meeting for City Council review.
