CALENDAR
OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
Chair John Stratton called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Board members present: John Stratton, Bill Hoeft, Loren Horton, Bev
Smith (7:10), John Watson. Legal Counsel Catherine Pugh, Staff Marian
Karr. Also in attendance was Captain Tom Widmer of the ICPD.
Members of the public also in attendance were Brandie Siebel and Molly
Meng.
Motion by Horton and seconded by Hoeft to adopt the consent calendar as
amended.
Stratton had two amendments to page 3 of the June 11 minutes. Under
"Board Information" delete the last sentence of the first paragraph; and
under "New Business - Annual Report" add the words "for statistical
purposes" to the last sentence of the first paragraph. Watson had one
amendment on page 1 under "Old Business - PCRB Video" where it states
"Watson suggests offering the video." He thought this implied that the
Board was giving the videos away when he meant offering to show the
video. The sentence was changed to: "...suggested through a mailing to
offer to show the video."

noted the NACOLE articles are scanned into the City Clerk's office
computer and can be accessed by the Internet. Hoeft stated that he reads
through the items, but he doesn't see the benefit. Stratton stated that the
clipping service helps to inform the Board about the concerns around the
country and it can give the Board insight as to what is going on. Stratton
said that they also have a list of organizations like the PCRB that they may
want to contact in the future for information. The Board deferred a
decision on renewal of the membership to the next meeting. In this time
they will explore the web site and see what other things membership
provides.
PUBLIC
DISCUSSION
No public discussion.
MEETING SCHEDULE
Stratton said they will only meet for the August meeting if the recent
complaint would be ready to be reviewed. Widmer did not expect the
complaint to be fully investigated by the Department by that time. The
Board decided to leave the August meeting open and then cancel a week
prior if no new business comes up.

INFORMATION

with police experience be from Iowa City. Karr said that it allowed
flexibility and she would report back.

In response to Smith, Stratton clarified the cost of the video to the Board is
