Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance to rename the Citizens Police Review Commission to the Community Police Review Commission. This board reviews police complaints and investigations, and the name change requires two votes to become official - this was the first. The change is largely administrative and doesn't affect how the commission operates or its responsibilities. A second vote will be held in two weeks to finalize the rename.
