OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-03-01 | 2 | 3-B. Recommendation to Provide Feedback on Draft Recommendations from the Community-Led Committee on Police Reform & Racial Justice Commissioner Chen recused herself and left the meeting. The Chief Assistant City Attorney stated Commissioner Chen made the decision to recuse herself after being advised by the City Attorney's office due to a common law conflict of interest; further clarified that due to the virtual method of the meeting, members who recuse themselves are not participating and are not "in the room." The City Clerk confirmed she is able to move recused members into a waiting room where they are unable to hear or participate in the meeting discussion. Commissioner Shabazz stated at a previous meeting, there was concern about ad hoc committees; he is concerned that tonight's discussion might later be claimed to be in violation; he wants to make sure things are being done in order and requested input from staff on the matter. The Chief Assistant City Attorney stated the only item agendized is the Subcommittee presentation; the Commission should not go beyond said scope; the item is a presentation from Subcommittee members and not a meeting of the Subcommittee. Chair Tilos clarified that the presentation requires no action and is being presented as an opportunity for Commissioners to provide feedback. Steering Committee Members in attendance: Al Mance, Christine Chilcott, and Jolene Wright Subcommittee Members in attendance: Amy Gong Liu, Andrea Carlise, Ayse Sercan, Bassy Obot, Beth Kenny, Debra Mendoza, Erin Fraser, Gavin Maxwell, Heather Reed, Jennifer Rakowski, Jono Soglin, Madlen Saddik, Melodye Montgomery, and Venecio "Vinnie" Camarillo. Christine Chilcott gave a PowerPoint presentation. Chair Tilos thanked the Steering and Subcommittee members for the presentation and for attending the meeting. In response to Commissioner LoPilato's inquiry, the City Clerk stated Commissioner questions should be done prior to public comment; then, Commissioner discussion is after public comment. Commissioner Shabazz stated that he wants to express solidarity with Mali Watkins, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many others that catalyzed getting to this moment; he appreciates everyone who put in the work and staff for getting the word out about tonight's meeting and engaging people.
