OLD BUSINESS
Discussion of proposed CPRB name change by Charter Review Commission — Karr reported
at the Charter Review meeting that morning they voted to approve the name change from
"citizen" to 'community", and requested the CPRB provide a response to the name change.
Karr outlined the process after the Charter Review Commission makes the recommendation to
Council. Jensen stated that she liked "community' better than the earlier suggestion of
"resident" but had concerns that 'community' implied community policing. Treloar liked
'community' because it sounds like an extension of the community policing process which he
is an advocate of. Salih and Martinez agreed to the change.
Motion by Salih, seconded by Martinez, supporting the suggestion to change the name from
Citizen Police Review Board to Community Police Review Board and directing the City Clerk to
report back to the Charter Review Commission. Motion carried, 4/0, Porter absent.
Karr also extended the invitation to the Charter Review Forum on February 24th at 6:30pm in
Emma J. Harvat Hall for anyone who is interested.
