@CHIdocumenters 7:34 Deputy Director for District Councils Damon Smith began a presentation of Chicago Police District Councils. 22 district councils, each council comprised of 3 members = 66 total.

@CHIdocumenters The meeting continued with the board’s announcement of the next regular meeting (item #2), and approval of past meeting minutes (#3). Livestreamed audio from the room is nearly unintelligible, but I’ll do my best!

@CHIdocumenters Board Member Jorge Montes quickly offered a dissenting option to the disciplinary decision regarding Officer Patrick Bunyon. I was unable to catch neither the charge nor the ruling. Meeting then moved into public comment, audio still indiscernible, and concluded at 8:33pm.
