Transportation to develop a Vision Zero Plan. Agenda Item: eComments for 12.c. 22-190 Staff Report for the First Reading of the City of San Leandro City Council Ordinance to Amend San Leandro Municipal Code sections 1-3-100, 1-3-110 and subsection (a) of section 1-3-115 to add Community Police Review Board and to Add Article 17 Community Police Review Board to San Leandro Municipal Code Chapter 1-3, Boards and Commissions Overall Sentiment Stephen Carbonaro Location: Submitted At: 11:03pm 03-20-22 As you review the draft Ordinance to establish the San Leandro Community Police Review Board, please consider directing the Staff to amend the draft ordinance to include three important provisions that are cited in the Staff Presentation, but are absent in the text of the Ordinance. This will clarify the Council's intent and provide additional guidance for the development of the Administrative Procedures that will govern how the Board functions. Specifically add: 1. [Under CPRB functions, add:] "There shall be clear procedures for how recommendations from the IPA and CPRB are to be handled by the Chief and City Manager" (See item #2 on "Supporting Provisions" slide) The current ordinance text states that the CPRB's function is to "monitor, review and provide input on police department policies", but it does not make clear that "providing input" includes the power to make recommendations which must be formally responded to by the Chief and City Manager. The specifics for how recommendations are to be made and considered should be addressed later in the Administrative Procedures. 2. [Under "Annual Report", add:] "Public reporting obligations of the IPA and CPRB shall include a summary of their activities, outcomes of recommendations made to the Chief and City Manager, and general trends data on police operations." (See item #4 on "Supporting Provisions" slide) The only mandate the current ordinance text includes for the CPRB's annual report is the attendance record of the board members. While that may be appropriate, the interests of transparency and accountability should mandate a more substantive summary of the Boards activities and results as well. 3. [Under CPRB functions, add:] "Provides input into the Police Department budget." (See the "Community Police Review Board - Framework" slide). Assuring the Board role includes the opportunity to provide input on the annual police budget has been consistently discussed and included in Staff presentations to date. Its absence in the ordinance text appears to be inadvertent, but is important enough to be amended.
