@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Attached is an image of the table to show who the commissioners are that are present this evening. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Attached are the images of the agenda for this meeting. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Before agenda item 5.08.04 is voted on, it is amended. #CLEDocumenters@cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland This meeting is quickly reviewing and discussing the work groups for the Police Policy Committee. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Being discussed now is the CPD Training Needs Assessment. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Commissioner Shandra Benito proposes to amend this agenda item with an addition of what is being referred to as a βFlow Chartβ #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland I am unable to provide a preview of the flow chart or elaborate on what this means for the commission due to the audience of this meeting not being provided the same meeting materials as the commissioners. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland As Commissioner Benito speaks on behalf of the Training Needs Assessment, Commissioner Wang raises concerns. Iβve provided video as the absence of meeting material makes it difficult to follow this part of the conversation. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland To clarify in the last video, which I will attach again after this context, Benito shares the opinion that Commissioner Wang could have shared her concerns many times prior to today. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Wang says that she has communicated these same concerns prior to today, to which co-chair Adams says has not happened. Wang shares the concern that certain decisions and/or conversations are being held with the committee and not the full commission.

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Wang shares the opinion that the results of work within training committee should not require pressure from the DOJ. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland There is a high charged disagreement between Commissioner Wang and Co-chair Adams. Adams shares with the Wang that her questions go beyond what the topic of discussion is. Wang continues with her point of view. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Co-chair Adams says to commissioner Wang that her concerns should have been addressed at the executive leadership meeting. Adams says that the purpose of that meeting to address any concerns related to leadership so that no time is wasted at other meetings. #CLEDocumenters

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Commissioner Wang says that she would like to make an amendment to a previous motion. Wang addresses a hiring agency, to which Co-Chair Adams says he feels is not necessary due to the amendment she's trying to make not being part of the business for this meeting

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland For clarification, Wangβs concern was of the extension of the interim executive director. Wang feels that an extension is unfair to other candidates and asks that a 90 day deadline be placed on hiring a director. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Commissioner Benito disagrees with the proposal of hiring a new director within 90 days. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Discussion is held on behalf of Commissioner Wang concerning an alleged conflict of interest in the Attorney working with the commission. Due to ongoing conflict and much back and forth conversation, I will end my thread with video.#CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Goodrick and Benito speak in favor of the attorney. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Goodrich shares that he feels that this motion has come about because of person opinion and differences, not because of true conflicts of interests. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland Goodrick*** shares the opinion that passing this motion tonight would be a mistake. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland

@cledocumenters @signalcleveland The videos attached are the attorneys response to this motion, sharing that there would be no hard feelings words anyone who agreed with the conflict of interest allegations. #CLEDocumenters @cledocumenters @signalcleveland
