Lt. Rice provided the complaint with a police report, and this satisfied her concern. Use of Force Review: *Gerry indicated that the Use of Force Board was currently receiving training, and the FCRB would now only review their findings. Follow up on Mediation: Gerry indicated that Azizah obtained copies of the surveys from Ms. Washington and participants seem pleased with the process. Gerry stated these forms would be a useful means to educate the community about the mediation program and may include them in the annual report. Accountability Audit: Gerry stated he had provided a copy of the Monitoring Team’s Audit Report to FCRB members. Gerry indicated that most of the report addresses FPD findings, but the last page is specific to the FCRB. Gerry indicated that the FCRB finally has an outside agency validating that the FCRB works to provide meaningful oversight. Debra indicated the Monitoring Team also indicated how burdensome the City’s requirements are for the FCRB review process. Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): Debra indicated Gerry and herself had spoken about the MOU as the City Attorney had indicated there was no need for an MOU since the FCRB is codified in the City’s ordinances. Gerry and Debra both indicated that there then needs to be policy established by FPD to document the interactions between FPD and the FCRB. Gerry indicated that establishing a policy is necessary because personnel change and how the interactions between FPD and the FCRB are supposed to work can be lost. Publishing Correspondence between FCRB and FPD: Gerry indicated he still needed to follow up with FPD and City Attorney about using current letters instead of creating something new. NEW BUSINESS Gerry indicated the Quarterly Meeting with Chief Doyle is scheduled for February 17, 2026, from 1:00 – 2:30pm. Gerry inquired who would like to attend the meeting. Debra, Azizah, and LeRoy will attend the meeting. Gerry inquired if the Board thought it would be beneficial for members to periodically attend the neighborhood meetings to educate the community about the functions of the FCRB. Since the Board agreed that attending the neighborhood meetings would be beneficial, Gerry asked if there were any volunteers.
