I mean we talked about the change of length of time saying has to be part of the management group I mean, that's one of the problems which is we don't have qualifications for the police chief because the police chief was not necessarily the best the most qualified police chief it was the the most popular and When I say most popular in some cases, it's one of the only one of the only few police officers that can run
And that doesn't guarantee that you'll get the best police officer.
And in a lot of cases, it completely removes from consideration the people in the management group that have the most experience.
In fact, when we had this vote back in 2024, we had one of our most senior officers
Police officers leave and become the police chief of another city because they could never, they had obviously qualified to be police chief of the city, but there is no way that we would allow that.
I think that's a problem.
If the qualifications for a duty are absent, then it's not logical to talk about the duties.
But if the qualifications for position are not required, why do we even have that position?
We don't even talk about that.
We try to make the police chief more consistent with the fire chief without looking at how the fire chief qualifications are almost guaranteed because they have to be the best applicant.
They're not the elected applicant.
When we talk about governance ethics, I mean, I'll say, I had this discussion with the city manager.
He said that, well, a comprehensive review was always discussed.
It was discussed, but a comprehensive review was not supposed to be compressed in six months, in five months.
The fact that we're doing this seems irresponsible to me.
The fact that there are so many details that we've done a complete rearrangement of the charter
without without thinking about how things are going and the fact that in governance and ethics we've had the city attorney tell me about things such as a redundancy in the
the reconsideration process which was not there, this level of detail, this level of care that I have concerns with because I don't see that it's there, makes me even more concerned when even as we talk about the changes that were made, the issues that were brought to us on June 15th, and now the changes that were made here because we missed this, we missed this, we missed this, I'll bet if we spent another couple of weeks on this, we would see a whole bunch of really important things that are missed.
I would rather deal with
Why are we doing this?
