She expressed support for reviewing some of the action steps in the 21st Century Policing Report and having the City Council serve as the oversight body. Councilmember Narum reported there are three new pieces of legislation that are impacting law enforcement and the impact will need to be determined as it could supersede anything being discussed. She expressed support for the motion as stated. Councilmember Testa expressed frustration that she is unable to review citizen complaints. Mayor Thorne advised this is the problem City Council oversight is looking to solve. She noted the model for the advisory board does not include civilian complaints. In response to Mayor Throne's inquiry, City Manager Fialho reported the decision point for City Council is to elevate the discussion of City Council in its oversight functions of the police department. He noted the roles and responsibilities of the oversight function will need to be defined in the future and will include what type of reports are permitted to be given under state law.
