Resolution 19-125
ITEM 6.A.
Council Action: 5/20/2019
Description

Resolution Amending the composition, duties, and responsibilities of the Citizens/Police Advisory Board.
Background/Discussion

The Citizens/Police Advisory Board was established by Resolution 86-458.  The Board was established with 15 members who were citizens of Council Bluffs, Iowa. It has proven challenging to identify, nominate and appoint 15 members - and to have a quorum at regular meetings. Initially Council members provided a list of three nominees to Council for the mayor to appoint. This resolution is intended to right-size the Board to 11 committed members who can regularly attend meetings and other activities. It also seeks to define a selection process as well as a removal procedure that is functional and sustainable for the foreseeable future.    
Recommendation

It is the recommendation of our department that Council approve the amendments to the resolution.
