| | 3. | | Draft memorandum and community-oriented policing plan update.
Minutes note: Nate expressed concern over a communication lapse with Mr. Lewis regarding the planning schedule, noting that the email chain had gone quiet.

Nate plans to resend the draft plans to all members to ensure everyone understands the proposed changes and policing policy language.
Member Godlye highlighted concerns raised by Tammy Rivera via email regarding accountability, transparency, and compliance, suggesting these points are worth reviewing for future credibility.
