2026-07-14 - City Council (special)

Summary

Built from the official approved minutes (approved on the Consent Calendar at the July 28, 2026 meeting). No video or transcript is posted, so there is no timing.

  • Roll call 4:03 p.m. Present: Taplin, Tregub, O'Keefe, Blackaby, Lunaparra, Humbert and Ishii. Absent: Kesarwani and Bartlett.
  • One agenda item, a worksession on the 2025 annual report of the Police Accountability Board and the Office of the Director of Police Accountability. 2 speakers.
  • ODPA staff gave a presentation, followed by Council questions and discussion. No vote was taken on the report.
  • Adjourned 5:47 p.m. on a motion by Tregub, seconded by Humbert, 7-0. The vote line in the minutes lists the absent members as Kesarwani and Taplin, which conflicts with the roll call; the roll call shows Bartlett absent and Taplin present.
  • No communications or supplemental material except the ODPA presentation slides.
  • The regular meeting began two hours later: 2026-07-14 - City Council (regular).
