The Denver City Council cleared the way late
Monday for voters to decide in November on aspects of the city's plan
to hire an independent police monitor. The council voted 11-2 to put on
the November ballot a single item allowing the monitor's office access
to restricted records such as police personnel records and to make the
monitor's six-member staff serve at the will of the mayor. The changes
would be made to the city's charter. The council must vote on the
matter again Aug. 30, but such votes on second reading rarely differ
from the first. [more ]
