After a quorum was established, the meeting opened. There were no commissioner comments; so the meeting proceeded directly to the Report of the Chief of Police with Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger sitting in for Chief Charlie Beck who was on vacation. Chief Paysinger provided a brief overview of crime statistics based on data from last week.
There was neither a Report of the Executive Director nor a Report of the Inspector General; so the meeting proceeded to Consent Agenda Items, which were all approved with no discussion.
The next order of business was the Regular Agenda Items. There were three Regular Agenda Items, one of which was a verbal presentation. The other two items were approved without discussion.
• Item 8B, the Department’s Report, dated August 7, 2015, relative to the recommendation for the Police Commission Integrity Medal, as set for, was approved.
• Item 8C, the Department’s Report, dated August 17, 2015, relative to the Interim Budget Request for fiscal year 2015/2016, as set forth, was approved.
After approval of Items 8B and 8C, the meeting proceeded with Item 8A, a verbal presentation and update from the commanding officer and Community Police Advisory Board representative regarding community initiated problem solving, crime strategies, and other programs and goals within the LAPD’s Mission Area.
Because of significant disruption to the meeting during most of the comment periods, Commissioner Soboroff called for a temporary recess just prior to the verbal presentation. After about 15 to 20 minutes, the meeting resumed with the presentation and additional closing public comments before final adjournment.
