• July 15, 2020 Deborah Jacobs spoke about law enforcement and accountability: what works in an oversight committee, and how can an oversight committee influence equity in the community? Discussion ensued regarding the need for eviction training for police officers, internal audit of practices and policies, opportunities for diversity, the effect of the OLEO presence, internal affairs statistics, arbitration process and mediation program, police recruitment crisis, mentoring and cultivating people in a profession, and a good data sharing model. President Tuohy announced that public comment for the July 22 City Council meeting will be accepted one-half hour before the start of the 12:30 p.m. meeting by calling 1.425.616.3920, Conference ID: 875 431 875#. The City Council recessed at 6:04 p.m. for a five-minute break followed by a 20- minute executive session. The following amendment was approved at the July 22 City Council meeting: during the executive session, Council Member Murphy took exception to the legality and purpose of the substance, which was a grant issue brought forward by Administration on a housing option for transient homeless. Upon questioning the legality of the executive session, the City Attorney immediately narrowed the scope and then also asked a private business party to sign off from the executive session call who had apparently been asked to participate by the Administration in the Council's executive session. The City Council reconvened at 6:30 p.m., and adjourned at 6:31 p.m. City Clerk Designee Read and approved as printed. Council Pres nt • 210
