VII. LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
1. Wiki is too hard to work with. Xandra would like to go through each issue and take them one at a time. She will pull everything out and rebuild it on paper.

2. Proposal to form a subcommittee of Xandra, David G, Heidi to move the Legislative Agenda forward.

IX. POLICE REVIEW
1. Xandra has petitions – deadline was missed for the Nov. ballot, option is still available for a special election.

2. Hannah suggested perhaps a “Citizen’s Cop Watch” instead of Police Review Commission.

3. Police Review Coalition is still collecting signatures to try for a special election. The deadline is in October. Xandra still has petitions, if people would like to help they should contact her. She will bring them to the next meeting.

4. Perhaps the better option would be to collect the signatures and bring them to the City Council to pressure them to vote for it without having to trigger a special election.

5. One idea – submit videos of police misconduct on cable access (this was David G’s idea).
