The True Commission committee convened and approved the minutes as published at the start of the meeting.
During public comment, John Newney of Jacksonville raised several items including requests for resolutions and participation on local boards; his remarks ran to the three‑minute public comment slot.
Committee members received other routine updates: the council auditor’s office noted two recent reports (including the Kids Hope Alliance follow‑up) and members asked for audit materials and reports to be circulated in full with meeting packets. A commissioner asked whether police vehicles were routinely left idling at substations; members said vehicles often power equipment and radios and that agencies provide technical explanations about battery and equipment needs.
Administrative items: committee members discussed turnover and announced that the November meeting agenda will include selection of a new chair, vice chair and secretary. The meeting adjourned by motion at the scheduled close.
Ending: Committee staff agreed to circulate full audit reports and to schedule the requested guests and briefings for upcoming meetings.
