(City Council) Appointment Of Council Committee To Study Advisability „Of Establishing A Police Commission - (Harman, Sullivan, Dettloff) - Approved - Report To Council In 60 Days (120.25) The City Council considered the following item placed on the agenda by Mayor Sullivan which read as follows: Huntington Beach is the 92nd largest city in America. Many other larger cities have established police commissions_ Huntington Beach may or may not be ready for a commission. A City Council Committee should be appointed to study the issue and report back to the full City Council. M. 11/18/96 - City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - Page 9 Mayor Sullivan presented reasons for his recommendation that a Council committee be appointed to study the feasibility of establishing a police commission. Councilman Harman presented reasons why he believed a study is necessary, including events during the recent election and the need to review alleged police brutality incidents. He spoke regarding the types of things that could be looked at, including the helicopter program --does the city need more helicopters or fewer --could the helicopters be privatized. He related an incident over the weekend whereby a motorcycle officer was in front of his home two days in a row which he felt was intimidating as he had never seen police presence on his small cul-de-sac street for the past 22 years. Councilman Harman volunteered to serve on the Council committee if the formation is approved. Councilman Leipzig stated that he would support such a study; however, he stated his reservations. He recommended that a study of the Police Department would be helpful for broad policy issues such as the best way to implement community -oriented policing as he is not as aware of the workings of the Police Department as he is of other departments in the city. Councilman Leipzig informed Council that he believes alleged police incidents should be handled with strong discipline which he believes the city is getting from the Police Chief who has a fine reputation. Councilman Leipzig stated that if a police commission is formed to investigate alleged misconduct, it would need to have extensive legal support as there are many laws, including the Police Officer Bill of Rights and legislation, with which the Police Commission would have to become familiar. He spoke against tying the formation of a police commission to the campaign activities of the recent past. Councilman Green advised that the scope, responsibility, and makeup of a police commission should be closely looked at prior to its formation. Councilman Green stated that he believed staff should report first on this issue and then a report presented at a study session followed by the formation of a Council committee. He stated that this is the usual procedure followed. Councilwoman Dettloff stated that she was in favor of exploring the issue. She stated that the city has the finest police chief and, overall, the best police officers. She spoke regarding the importance of the selection process for police commission members and her desire for input from the Police Chief as well as information from other cities. She also stated that enforcement ability must be explored. A motion was made by Sullivan, second Leipzig, to establish a City Council Committee to study whether or not a citizens' police commission is advisable. The Council Committee is to report back to the full City Council within 60 days. (Mayor Sullivan stated that he accepted within the motion all the suggestions made by the Councilmembers on this item).

He spoke regarding the past actions of the City Council/Redevelopment Agency relative to employment of eminent domain, citing the examples of the Crocker Bank building and Wimpy's. He stated that he believed if a redevelopment plan is worthwhile, it should not be hard to get two-thirds of the owners to agree as required by Redevelopment Agency Resolution No. 48. He requested the City Council/Redevelopment Agency to consider the historical quality and unique character of the downtown area which is what originally attracted many of the residents to live in the project area.

Ms. Treece urged the City Council/Redevelopment Agency to consider saving some of the historical pieces that the city has such as the old bungalows and buildings. Leia Cha, owner of the Beach Store, 121 Main Street, Huntington Beach, presented the history of her business' presence in the downtown area and the types of problems she had encountered.
