REPORT TO COUNCIL

Date: August 15, 2023

To: City Council

From: City Attorney Robert Taylor

Re: Accept the Independent Monitor, LLC, Report to Council on 2020 Critical Assessment under U.S. Department of Justice Settlement Agreement

Consulting firm Independent Monitor, LLC (“IMLLC”) was retained to critically assess the City’s response to the 2020 demonstrations. IMLLC released its final Phase 1 Report on August 9, 2023. The City publicly posted the Phase 1 Report, along with the City’s Response and Training Needs Assessment on August 10, 2023. IMLLC will present the report to the Portland City Council at 2 p.m. on August 23, followed by an evening community town hall to share the report publicly and take questions.

The IMLLC will return six months after issuing the Phase 1 Report to start the follow-on report. IMLLC will issue a final Phase 2 Report in the fall of 2024, wherein they will assess the City’s progress in implementing their recommendations from Phase 1.

I recommend Council accept the report.
