Council Member Kishimoto asked why the reports were six months behind
the scheduled due date.
City Manager, James Keene stated he had received the report in a timely
manner and until he had met with the Police Auditor during the summer had
not realized the Council had not yet received the report.
Council Member Kishimoto asked in the future if the Police Auditor would
notify Council as well as Staff when the report was available.
Council Member Klein stated the Police Auditor report needed to go directly
to Council in a timely manner without Staff reviewing the content before
hand. He asked when the upcoming report was expected.
Mr. Keene stated the report was forthcoming and he assured Council there
would not be a delay in their receipt.
Council Member Burt stated there appeared to be a pattern of a reporting
delay and he requested the Policy & Services Committee review the
reporting process, who the Police Auditor was accountable to, clarify the
timing of the reports due, and verify the reports were current.
Mr. Keene stated there would be an explicit bi-annual schedule provided to
the Policy & Services Committee in advance of each year.
