The CPA is creating a charter amendment ballot initiative to create an accountable, civilian-controlled, police commission.
The ONLY agenda item will be a discussion of whether or not we should file a petition with the City Clerk’s Office to declare our intention to collect signatures to independently place our item on the Nov 2016 ballot.
We will discuss the pros and cons, including logistic challenges but also organizing opportunities.
In the interim, we will try to assemble as much information about what signature initiatives involve, what the needed capacity looks like. Toward that end, we have committed to having a final draft that we would need to submit to the City Clerk ready for your review by January 8th.
