We are in the public comment period. The livestream quality is not great. https://t.co/g2Nv7ijlDB

When I joined the livestream, the current speaker was praising the agenda items up for vote today. The speaker asks candidates for local police district councils to stand up. They are applauded, and the speaker repeats, "Help is on the way!"

Looks like public comment period is over.

The Nov 28th meeting minutes are approved.

A discussion regarding the noncitizen advisory council is next. Three individuals have been nominated so far.

The nominees are named. They include community organizers and public servants.

There is a bit of protest from one member of the audience before the vote to appoint NAC members.

The nominations are approved, and the three nominees are appointed to the noncitizen advisory council.

Driver goes off script, talking about a recent experience getting robbed in his own home. He says that, even though he called police, his father arrived before the police arrived. https://t.co/nWB6g23IO3

Driver says he had information helping to identity those responsible for his robbery, but he had difficulty getting cooperation from CPD staff and detectives.

Driver says that instead of focusing on community engagement and improving clearance rates, CCPSA has been fighting CPD regarding the new gang database (CEIS), calling it a "racist policy."

The audience seems to approve Driver's remarks.

Driver introduces CCPSA's General Order
for CPD — G01-03 Department Directives System, regarding directives on collecting and using information on criminal enterprises and gangs

Driver talks about the difference between CPD special and general orders.

So is CEIS special or general? Driver says it is not clear. CCPSA only has power over general orders.

Today's vote is for CCPSA to introduce the proposed order. They will upload the proposal to their website for a public comment period.

Motion passes.

Next is a vote on the annual goals for the COPA Chief Administrator.

There are over 30 goals for COPA regarding areas such as hiring, training, development, legal/external affairs, policy, research/analysis, and investigation.

CCPSA says they have had a positive experience working with the "honest" COPA

COPA Chief Kersten says goals were intentionally spread throughout the entire organization https://t.co/mMhgmqMEpW

CCPSA passes adoption of COPA goals.

Next, goal setting for the president of the Police Board.

There are some comments in the YouTube chat regarding the quality of the livestream. CCPSA responds in the chat, saying they have budgeted for better streaming equipment.

Police Board President Foreman is not available to speak tonight. CCPSA reports that they've received support from Foreman regarding the proposed goals.

CCPSA passes adoption of Police Board President goals.

Next, goal setting for the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department

CCPSA says CPD argued against CCPSA's ability to set goals for the supt. https://t.co/4e1TmvzmfN

CPD and CCPSA disagreed regarding CCPSA's legal authority in their four meetings with CPD.

This morning -- in their fifth and final meeting, CCPSA received agreement (after minor changes) from the supt regarded goal setting.

CCPSA reads from the ordinance that created it. In particular, they highlight their listed abilities in setting goals for the Superintendant of police.

CCPSA says they've received written support from the Committee on Public Safety regarding their power to set goals for the supt.

Couple more complaints in the chat regarding stream quality. The connection froze a couple times for me as well.

CCPSA notes that it includes officer welfare and mental health in its goals for the supt.

The livestream appears frozen to me now. Hoping it'll improve soon

Looks like they've just moved over to another stream: youtube.com/watch?v=dqaSgy…
