here. When advisory votes are not faithfully transmitted to the City Council, accountability becomes performative rather than substantive.
If San Rafael is serious about accountability, then the record must be accurate — especially when it concerns RIPA data and documented racial disparities in policing.
I urge you to remove the PAAC Annual Report from the consent calendar or table it entirely until:
• The report accurately reflects that PAAC voted in favor of all four MVfree RIPA recommendations. • The Council has the opportunity for a robust public discussion about those recommendations. • The public can clearly see where the advisory body stands and how the Police Department is responding.
Transparency is not optional. Advisory and Accountability Committees only work if the information reaching you is complete and unfiltered.
Please do not rubber-stamp an incomplete record.
Respectfully,
Jason Sarris
