Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 10, 2016 Page 27 Mayor Roe suggested following the steps outlined by Councilmember Laliberte for that starting point in the process. CEC Chair Scot Becker At the request of Mayor Roe, CEC Chair Becker clarified that the original rec- ommendations of the Task Force and CEC did not include copies as part of the services provided to neighborhood associations by the city.

Mr. Trudgeon noted his perception that the City Council was not suggesting more work for the Police Departinent ar Mr. Yunke specifically, and if additional
