4 From a list of recommended candidates provided by the PAB Alliance, the law requires City Council to fill PAB vacancies within 60 days (Charter 18-4h), same for the Mayoral and Council-appointed seats. For numerous months, the City Council had violated the law by not selecting candidates from the list of recommendations that the PAB Alliance has offered. Should the City Council implement an official internal process for filling vacancies on the board within the time frame specified by the Charter? *

Yes

5 According to the law, the PAB is authorized to have independent, direct access to police records in order to perform its investigatory responsibilities (Charter 18-3h). To date, the mayor’s administration (law department) has not allowed the PAB to have its own direct, independent access.
