City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Date: July 10, 2023 Agenda Number: 10.b. Agenda Section: CONSENT CALENDAR File Number: 23-325 File Type: Staff Report Motion to Adopt the City of San Leandro Community Police Review Board’s Administrative Procedures SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS. Consistent with the unanimous recommendation of the Community Police Review Board, City staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached administrative procedures for incorporation into the City of San Leandro Administrative Code. BACKGROUND On April 4, 2022, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the Community Police Review Board (CPRB) and Independent Police Auditor (IPA) functions, with the following goals: to increase public trust, increase accountability, ensure that police operations reflect community values, and, in cooperation with the IPA, ensure prompt, impartial, and fair investigations of complaints brought by members of the public against Police Department personnel. A diverse pool of over 50 community members subsequently applied to serve on the CPRB and the consulting firm IntegrAssure, Inc. was hired by the City Manager and ratified by the City Council to serve as the Independent Police Auditor (IPA). The CPRB board members were subsequently sworn in before the City Council on September 19, 2022, and the Board held its first public meeting on October 19, 2022. At the time of adoption of the above-referenced ordinance establishing the Board, it was acknowledged that City staff would work with the CPRB to support the Board’s development of its administrative procedures. It is standard practice for City boards and commissions to have such procedures, which are intended to complement the provisions of their enabling Ordinances and to further clarify how they operate and carry out their function. Following extensive discussions and multiple rounds of iterations involving the CPRB, a Board ad hoc committee, and City staff, on May 19, 2023 the CPRB voted unanimously to recommend that the attached procedures be submitted to the Council for its review and adoption for inclusion in the Administrative Code. Fiscal Impacts None. Costs for staff resources provided by the City Manager’s office, City Clerk’s office, Police Department, and related administrative, outreach, and training support, etc. are included in the adopted FY 2023-2024 citywide budget.
