• 4th District Supervisor – Bonnie Neely & Nancy Flemming, Heidi will invite them.
• One question we want to ask them all – Do you support police review – would you vote to create a commission?

VII. LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
• 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.
• Proposal to form a subcommittee of Xandra, David G, Heidi to move the Legislative Agenda forward.

IX. POLICE REVIEW
• Xandra has petitions – deadline was missed for the Nov. ballot, option is still available for a special election.
• Hannah suggested perhaps a “Citizen’s Cop Watch” instead of Police Review Commission.
• 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.
• 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.
• One idea – submit videos of police misconduct on cable access (this was David G’s idea).

NEXT MEETING is Wednesday, Sept 16th at 6:30pm at Heidi’s house. 3 story green house. (SCHEDULE CHANGE!)
