spoke on information and data collection. The committee inquired on a few
items regarding East Washington and the department working collaboratively
with other law enforcement to address issues. The other item was brought up
on the mission of the PSRC and where the committee fits in with reviewing the
departments priorities specifically the summer strategic plan and going over
the report at the conclusion to be able to make recommendations to the
council. There was also a question regarding strategic plans beyond Summer.
The Summer strategic plan is posted on district blotters and it is the same plan
for all districts as this is a department wide initiative and all districts are
working on the same priorities.

and if the committee is satisfied with the information within the report. It was
suggested the committee make a list on what they would like to see in the
report and work with the Chief. The quarterly reports shows a lot of information
on how the department is trending and where it is heading. The Chief
mentioned he would like the report to be as transparent as it can be and going
forward to also include information from customer satisfaction data so others
can see. He also mentioned he is always available for questions.
Konkel suggested two future agenda items; PSRC to review the Chief's
quarterly report and determine if there are other recommendations to submit
to the council and discuss the police departments summer strategic plan. She
asked if the strategic plan could be emailed to the committee and also if there
is any information on last years summer strategic plan. A question was asked
on how one would receive the customer satisfaction survey. It was shared this
normally is sent to an individual by filling out a case report. The Chief
mentioned a link could be shared to those who want to fill out the survey and
