(On- oin Chair O'Connor informed the Commission that 5 members of the Hawaii County Police Commission have sent an e -mail expressing their intent to attend the conference. No word yet from the Honolulu Police Commission and Maui Police Commission. Commissioner Francisco pointed out that since the conference was held at the Grand Hyatt in Poipu in 2009, he would like to recommend to the Commission to hold this year's conference on the east Kauai area. He stated that once the Commission has some indication on the number of attendees, the Commission would be able to formulate some of the topics and overall discussion items. Kauai Police Commission Regular Meeting Minutes - Open Session February 22, 2013 Page 5 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Commissioner Iona pointed out that one of the concerns that was brought up at last year's conference was the importance of speakers. He indicated that the selection of keynote speaker(s) is important in that it would attract the other commissioners to want to attend but more importantly make them feel that it was worth the time and money. Chair O'Connor stated that he would be calling upon the Police Department to participate in the conference and that he would probably solicit ideas from Chief Perry on what type of topics to discuss. He reminded the Commissioners to be mindful of the budget and he hopes that the conference will be well - attended. KPC 2013 -03 Public announcements for the following notarized public complaints that were filed against officers of the County.

KPC 2013 -04 Review of the Kauai Police Department's Policy and Procedures. Deputy County Attorney Winn noted that it was her understanding that the Commission wanted to take a more in -depth look into some of the policies and that the Commission was considering forming a permitted interaction 0 u to do so. She explained that the group should be composed of 3 Kauai Police Commission Regular Meeting Minutes - Open Session February 22, 2013 Page 7 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION members and that the Commission could either volunteer or select the members. Once the members are established, the Commission would need to provide a scope of what the group is going to be authorized to do and that all findings and recommendations will need to be presented to the Commission as a whole for further discussion and decision - making on the matter at hand. Chair O'Connor indicated that this action is not unusual because the Commission is charged with various duties and responsibilities, and as far as he could recall, the Commission has not reviewed the Police Department's policies and procedures. He indicated that this action is not saying that something is lacking or that there need to be changes, it is just the Commission doing its due diligence and just reacquainting itself with the policies by asking the right questions and getting any suggestions from the department. Commissioner Iona indicated that he would like to volunteer to serve as a member of the interaction subcommittee. Deputy County Attorney Winn reiterated that any member of the Commission can volunteer to serve on the interaction subcommittee. She explained that once the members are established and voted upon another motion is needed to define the scope of the review and the scope of each member's authority. Chair O'Connor called for a motion to create a 3 member interaction Commissioner Iona moved to create a 3 member subcommittee. interaction subcommittee to review the Police Department's policies and procedures. Commissioner Kanekoa seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0 Commissioners Kanekoa and Nebre indicated their desire to serve as members of the interactive subcommittee. Chair O'Connor called for a motion to approve the selection. Kauai Police Commission Regular Meeting Minutes - Open Session February 22, 2013 Page 8 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Commissioner Iona moved to approve Commissioners Kanekoa, Nebre, and himself to sit on the interaction subcommittee to review the policies and procedures of the Kauai Police Department, and report back to the Commission as a whole for further discussion. Commissioner Nebre seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0 Chair O'Connor called for a motion to begin discussion on defining the Commissioner Iona moved that the Commission scope of the review process. begin its discussion at this meeting on defining the scope of the review process as it relates to the Police Department's policies and procedures. Commissioner Nebre seconded the motion Discussion Commissioner Iona explained to the Commissioners on what he believes is important in creating an interactive subcommittee to review the policies and procedures in the Police Department. He noted that one of the questions that have begged this Commission's attention is in the area of workplace violence and harassment in the workplace, which he believes should be one of the primary scopes of the subcommittee's task which is to meet with the department to go over the policies and procedures line by line. He pointed out that he wants the department to realize or understand that in no way is the subcommittee created to micromanage the department and that its main purpose is to get a better understanding so that the Commission would be prepared to answer inquires coming from the general public. Kauai Police Commission Regular Meeting Minutes - Open Session February 22, 2013 Page 9 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Commissioner Iona stated that because of the many variables he wanted to see whether there is a division in policies between the County and the Police Department, and to find out more about the process as it relates to the promotional aspect in the department. He shared with the Commission that he could say with certainty that he would not be asking for any policy changes because he believes it lies within the department and that he just wanted some hindsight into this whole process of what takes place. Commissioner Francisco mentioned that because the Police Department is moving forward with the accreditation process he felt that it would also be a good opportunity for the Chief to update the subcommittee on where it's at with regards to their policies and procedures because the department is already undergoing that internally. Chief Perry stated that as the department continues to move forward with the accreditation process, it is revisiting all of its policies and procedures to make sure that the department is in alignment with the County's policies and procedures that overlook all departments; particularly the policies that pertain to violence in the workplace and harassment in the workplace. He shared with the Commission that since the election of Justin Kollar to the Prosecutor's Office, the department has lost its legal advisor and has been without a replacement for the past three months. While the County Attorney has been very helpful in assigning those types of policies it still needs to be scrutinized and given a stamp of approval in order to move forward. He explained that some of the policies are in limbo which has placed the department behind schedule. Currently there are about two hundred policies that still need to be reviewed by the County Attorney and brought up to speed; some of which have to do with housekeeping. The content in the policies are still in place in other departments and being used as best practices. Kauai Police Commission Regular Meeting Minutes - Open Session February 22, 2013 Page 10 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Commissioner Iona suggested to Chief Perry that he enters into some type of dialogue with the administration to inquire about it because he believes some of the frustration that the department is faced with is having a County Attorney whose expertise is in another specialty field and not in law enforcement. He indicated that it would be beneficial for the Police Department to have someone proficient or whose expertise is in law enforcement to minimize a lot of these down -the -road frivolous suits that come up because of information that is given at the start. Chief Perry stated that both County Attorneys Jennifer Winn and Mauna Kea Trask have been very helpful but the department still needs to move forward its policies and procedures as quickly as possible. He noted that he understands that both attorneys have their plates full so having an attorney assigned to the Police Department would be very helpful because as of right now the department is behind in achieving its own set benchmarks. Deputy County Attorney Winn gave her perspective of the situation that the assignments from the Police Department are being assigned to few of the attorneys who do have prosecuting background such as herself and Mauna Kea Trask. Ms. Winn explained that the reason some of the assignments are being referred to other attorneys is because they are trying to get the work done faster, versus having just one attorney who already has various departments to handle. Ms. Winn further explained that since Justin Kollar became the new County Prosecutor, the County Attorney's Office is short one person and they still need to hire a replacement. Kauai Police Commission Regular Meeting Minutes - Open Session February 22, 2013 Page 11 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Commissioner Kanekoa asked whether it would be appropriate to get copies of the policies and procedures that are marked pending approval and the ones that have already been approved. Chief Perry responded that because there are two hundred policies he suggested that the subcommittee review the policies and procedure at the Police Department. He added that some of the policies are just formatting the General Orders into standards to be in compliance with the CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) standards, and that the information on the policies would not change, but there are some that the department are changing significantly. Based on the discussion, Chair O'Connor defined the scope of the review as follows: 1) Do a general review of acquaintance for the Commission's standpoint; 2) Go over the process of establishing the policies and procedures with the department; 3) Review the policies that may need to be added or tweaked to conform with the accreditation process; 4) Specific concentration on workplace violence and harassment in the workplace policies and procedures; and 5) Review promotional policy procedures. Commissioner Iona stated that because of the openness of this meeting he is pretty sure that there are individuals out in the general public that would view what was discussed as, "Well, you're the Commission you do what you have to do." However, the public needs to understand that there are certain rules in the Charter that the Police Commission operates under on what can and cannot be done by the Commission. Deputy County Attorney Winn informed Commissioner Iona that based on the discussion, procedurally, his motion is different. She advised Commissioner Iona to either amend his motion or withdraw it and make a motion articulated with what Chair O'Connor had stated. Kauai Police Commission Regular Meeting Minutes - Open Session February 22, 2013 Page 12 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Ms. Winn clarified that the original motion was for the Commission to have a discussion about the scope of the review, and now through that discussion certain things have surfaced so the original motion would have to be amended with the changes. Commissioner Iona moved to amend his original motion to reflect that a definitive scope has been discussed for implementation by the interaction subcommittee Commissioner Nebre seconded. Motion carried 5:0 Deputy County Attorney Winn informed Chair O'Connor to call for another motion to approve the original motion as amended. Commissioner Iona moved to approve the original motion as amended. Commissioner Nebre seconded. Motion carried 5:0 Announcements Next meeting — March 22, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. in Meeting Room 2A/213 at the Mo'ikeha Building — Executive Session to follow.
