“I would like for us to formalize a partial moratorium so that they can focus on making those changes to the city ordinance.”
after former panelist Lisa Sweeney-Miran was removed by City Council over allegations of bias. Panelists agreed that their priority was to make changes to the Police Oversight Ordinance, which governs the POP, and that they would stop considering new police oversight cases and other panel work not related to the ordinance for the time being. However, the panel has continued to review police oversight cases it had already committed to reviewing.
Mayor Pro Tem Mark Wallach also expressed some ambivalence about the potential moratorium. Though he said he agreed with the need to revise the ordinance, he pointed out that City Council did not ask the board to stop working — the board made that determination on its own. Additionally, City Council voted unanimously to remove Caroline Miller as a trustee on the Open Space Board of Trustees over allegations of non-attendance to her duties as a board member.
