    1. While they are very well-meaning, I would recommend that all Boards and Commissions be moved off the City’s list of expenses (staff time, City attorney time, etc.) and that nonprofits and civic organizations form to take on these responsibilities. This will enhance the benefit and reduce the cost. The purpose of the Police Commission is clearly covered by the Board of Independent Review. The same persons can advise City Council without the need for appointments on Boards and Commissions. These are very expensive to taxpayers. Thousands of hours of staff time are spent on them. With social media, electronic surveys and lower-cost methods of curating community sentiment, these Boards and Commissions are no longer needed. The City is already being advised by many individuals and organizations. These folks can organize and become truly independent voices for good without taxpayers footing the bill for these Boards and Commissions.
