Accept removals from Community Board for Police Accountability recommended by administration due to ineligibility and cause and appoint alternates to vacant seats

This report removes one previously appointed member and 1 alternate from the Community Board for Police Accountability (CBPA), for reasons including non-completion of administrative requirements (1 alternate), and objective demonstration of bias against the police (1 member). This report also shares the withdrawal/resignation of 2 members, 2 alternates. The Community Board for Police Accountability's first meeting is scheduled Wednesday, February 11th, 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm. The Board is now able to have their first meeting because a quorum of members have met Code requirements for completion of background, eligibility, and CJIS checks prior to conducting business. This Board has time sensitive obligations to meet deadlines outlined in the U.S. Department of Justice's Settlement Agreement. Removing ineligible members, selecting alternates to fill vacancies, and appointing new alternates is all a step closer to operationalizing the new Oversight System that was approved by 82% of voters in 2020.

The Oversight System budget is underspent in FY 25-26 and has the resources to cover the additional costs associated with the background checks, trainings, and stipends.

Not applicable.

The Community Board for Police Accountability was adopted in Charter in 2020, and ensuring the Board is staffed with eligible members and can start meeting brings the City one step closer to operationalizing this Charter provision.
