Agenda Item #24:
A RESOLUTION supporting the creation of a public-facing database by the Independent Police Monitor to increase community engagement, ensure timely data collection on police use of force and disciplinary hearings, and provide heightened transparency of law enforcement encounters in New Orleans to create additional accountability.
The Rules:
Only written public comments will be allowed. Live comments will not be permitted.
At the beginning of the meeting, the moderator will read aloud the entire council agenda. Thereafter, the meeting will recess for 30 minutes so that members of the public may provide written public comment on any agenda item.
Public comments are submitted electronically on a form, available on the City Council web page - https://council.nola.gov/home/
Public comments are now being accepted and will be accepted until the end of the 30-minute comment submittal period. Public comment received after the close of the 30-minute comment submittal period will not be considered.
Each submission must contain (i) the commenter’s first and last name, (ii) the commenter’s address, (iii) whether the commenter is being paid in connection with his or her comments, and (iv) the agenda item to which the comment pertains. Any comment missing this information will not be read aloud.
No member of the public may submit more than one written comment per agenda item.
Before the Council votes on an agenda item, a moderator will read into the record all comments pertaining to that item that have been submitted in accordance with these rules.
Comments will be read aloud in a normal speaking voice. The moderator will discontinue reading a comment once it exceeds two minutes.
Any person seeking accommodation as a result of a disability or other circumstance should contact Interim Council Chief of Staff Paul Harang at paul.harang@nola.gov.
