Porter absent. OLD BUSINESS Charter Review Update — At their August 26th meeting Tuttle had reminded the Board of past discussions by Board members regarding the language for the purpose of the forum, and the concerns that the forum focused on police policies, practices, and procedures without requiring police representation. It has become a practice of the Police department not to be a participant since it is a Board forum and not a Police forum. Tuttle reported she reviewed past minutes for more detailed discussion. She was unable to find any more detailed information but some Board members Treloar and Jensen did recall the discussions. Suggestions were made on the language and Tuttle will draft and include them in the next meeting packet. Video — Karr presented a draft of the CPRB educational video minus addressing the final question "why the Board can't do more". After discussion, it was agreed that they would cite the Code of Iowa as to why they were not able to do more, but then also wanted to end the video with what they "can" do. Jensen will draft segments for each Board member, to be reviewed by Legal Counsel, and filming would occur at the next meeting. CPRB September 15, 2014 Page 2 Video Review Process — Tuttle stated that another option had been made available and referred to the memo included in the meeting packet which stated that if members were not able to make an appointment during business hours, they could set up an appointment to view videos in the Police Department 24/7. (Karr left meeting 6:13 P.M.) NEW BUSINESS Select Nominating Committee — Treloar nominated Jensen and Salih to be on the nominating committee. They agreed and will report back to the Board with recommendations at the next meeting. PUBLIC DISCUSSION None. BOARD INFORMATION None. STAFF INFORMATION Tuttle informed the Board that Maxime Tremblay had resigned from the Board due to a family illness and that the vacancy would be announced at the September 16th City Council meeting. EXECUTIVE SESSION Motion by Jensen, seconded by Salih to adjourn into Executive Session based on Section 21.5(1)(a) of the Code of Iowa to review or discuss records which are required or authorized by state or federal law to be kept confidential or to be kept confidential as a condition for that government body's possession or continued receipt of federal funds, and 22.7(11) personal information in confidential personnel records of public bodies including but not limited to cities, boards of supervisors and school districts, and 22-7(5) police officer investigative reports, except where disclosure is authorized elsewhere in the Code; and 22.7(18) Communications not required by law, rule or procedure that are made to a government body or to any of its employees by identified persons outside of government, to the extent that the government body receiving those communications from such persons outside of government could reasonably believe that those persons would be discouraged from making them to that government body if they were available for general public examination.

Hart RE: August 2014 Use of Force Review DATE: September 18, 2014 SEP 18 2014 City Clerk Iowa City, Iowa The "Use of Force Review Committee" met on August 28, 2014. It was composed of Captain Hart, Sgt. Gaarde and Officer Ronnie Gist. For the review of submitted reports in August, 12 Officers were involved in 17 separate incidents requiring use of force. All issues or concerns were identified and addressed at previous levels of review. A training issue was identified with a specific Officer. This matter was referred to that Officer's supervisor to be addressed. Of the incidents reviewed for this period: on two occasions a Taser was displayed which resulted in compliance without deployment, there were no SRT call outs where officers displayed assigned weapons towards multiple people, in three other incidents officers responded to calls where their firearm was displayed, there was no OC display or exposure, and of the 17 incidents two suspects and one Officer were injured as a result.
