Votes
To approve appointment of Catherine Montalbo with understanding that next City Council meeting would include other two CPRC nominees (Christopher Whitmore and Armond Lee)
2 to 5
Why This Vote Matters
The council rejected Catherine Montalbo's appointment to the Citizens Police Review Commission in a divided 5-2 vote, with Councilmembers Johnson, Martinez, Myrick, Willis, and Vice Mayor Choi voting against the nomination. The Citizens Police Review Commission provides civilian oversight of police conduct by investigating complaints against officers and reviewing use-of-force incidents. Only Councilmember Bates and Mayor Butt supported the appointment, which would have filled one of seven volunteer positions on the commission that meets monthly. The motion included a provision to consider two other nominees at the next council meeting, but the rejection means the commission seat remains vacant for now.
