Less than a week after the Boulder City Council removed Lisa Sweeney-Miran from the city’s Police Oversight Panel, the panel voted Wednesday evening to suspend some of its operations until the city ordinance that governs the panel is modified.
Less than a week after the Boulder City Council, the panel voted Wednesday evening to suspend some of its operations until the city ordinance that governs the panel is modified.
“I think we’re all Lisa,” said panelist Madelyn Strong Woodley. “In terms of someone not liking what you said, your viewpoint — I lived a lot of my life with people not liking the color of my skin. … Just keep in mind that we’re only one somebody’s decision away from .” After an emotional discussion, the panel voted 8-1 to review cases it already had committed to, but to pause consideration of new cases and suspend other panel work not related to the ordinance. Panelist Sarah Holt was not present but voted by proxy in favor of the suspension. Jason Savela was the only panelist to vote against the suspension.
Several other panelists, including Strong Woodley, Mylene Vialard and Maria-Soledad Diaz, echoed Zhang’s concern, saying they did not favor asking the council for permission to stop doing work. Also on the evening’s agenda was a discussion on forming a new ordinance working group. The working group will not be a decision-making committee but will do the work of proposing changes to the police oversight section of the city ordinance governing the panel.
