CityCouncil | 2022-03-01 | 10 | Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether APD already keeps track of all accidents regardless of injury, to which the Police Chief responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated that she is unsure whether Council receives a text each time an accident occurs; inquired whether the City Manager sends out a text to Council for each accident. The City Manager responded APD reports to him and then he reports to Council; stated if APD is not called to the scene, the incident does not get reported to Council. Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether the language needs to be added to make sure staff is in compliance, to which Councilmember Knox White responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Herrera Spencer proposed a friendly amendment to the motion to add the language to clarity expectations. Councilmember Knox White stated the amendment is unnecessary; calls are reported; there is no reasonable expectation to have a report of a call that was not received. Vice Mayor Vella seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether both the Police Department policy manual and the emergency response vehicle policy matters are being considered concurrently. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft responded Council is currently considering the Police Department policy manual.
