Appoint alternate members to the Community Board for Police Accountability

Document number: 2026-375
Introduced by: Mayor Keith Wilson Councilor Sameer Kanal
City department: Office of Community-based Police Accountability
Requested council date: October 29, 2026
Purpose and background: This legislation appoints one alternate to the Community Board for Police Accountability (CBPA). This is the appointment of Robert Weinstein who the City Council previously appointed as an alternate, but who was removed after declining to sign the Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement. Through settlement of pending litigation, the City has agreed to modify the Non-disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement for the CBPA, and Mr. Weinstein has agreed to sign the revised agreement. This fills one of five open alternate spots. It is also consistent with the instruction to administrative staff in Resolution 37737 for re-evaluating previous applicants to provide Council with options to appoint previous applicants as alternates. The CBPA has 21 members and 6 alternate positions; following this legislation, all 21 members and 2 of 6 alternates will be filled.
Financial and budgetary impacts: This resolution does not change CBPA appropriations.
Economic and real estate impacts: Not applicable.
Community impacts and community involvement: During the application process, the Administrative and Onboarding Coordinator for the Office of Community-Based Accountability sent over 250 emails that advertised the volunteer opportunity to the following community partners: 1000 Friends of Oregon ACLU All Hands Raised Alliance for a Healthier Generation APANO Basic Rights Oregon Black Parent Initiative Black Reliance Fund Black United Fund Building Power for Communities of Color Business for Better Portland CAIR Oregon CAIRO Coalition of Communities of Color Community Investment Trust Cultivate Initiatives Disability Rights Oregon Division Midway Alliance Dress for Success East Portland Action Plan Educate Ya Friendly House Inc.

Mr. Weinstein was previously selected among that pool as an alternate. Reappointing Mr. Weinstein as an alternate will not fundamentally change the impact of the CBPA's membership and structure.

WHEREAS, in November 2020 Portland voters approved a ballot measure, with 81.58% in favor, creating a new police accountability and oversight system, adding it to the Charter as Chapter 2-10; and WHEREAS, in October 2024 the Portland City Commission adopted Ordinance 191892, which amended City Code, creating Title 35, "Community Police Oversight Board"; this defined processes for appointments and reappointments to the Community Board for Police Accountability (CBPA); and WHEREAS, on June 18, 2025, City Council accepted a report (Council Item 2025-246) appointing 21 members and six alternate members to the CBPA. Pursuant to this action, Robert Weinstein was appointed as an Alternate member of the CBPA; and WHEREAS, on February 11, 2026, City Council accepted a report for the removal of certain CBPA members and alternate members following background and eligibility checks (Council Item 2026-047). In this action, Council removed Mr. Weinstein from his position as alternate member for cause pursuant to Portland City Code 35.20.10(G)(1) for non-completion of the administrative requirements for membership. Specifically, Mr. Weinstein declined to sign the CBPA's then-current "Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement" (the "Former NDA"); and WHEREAS, on March 9, 2026, Mr. Weinstein filed a lawsuit against the City, Robert Weinstein v. City of Portland (Mult. Cnty. Cir. Ct. No. 26CV11595) (the "Litigation"), in which Mr. Weinstein alleged that the City's requirement that CBPA members execute the Former NDA violated Article I, section 8, of the Oregon Constitution; and WHEREAS, the City Administration engaged in negotiations with Mr. Weinstein to resolve the lawsuit and avoid the expense and inconvenience of litigation; and WHEREAS, the City Administration has reached a negotiated settlement with Mr. Weinstein that includes utilization of an updated non-disclosure agreement, public posting of certain CBPA trainings, and recommendation by the City Administration to City Council for Mr. Weinstein's reappointment to his prior position as alternate member of the CBPA. The negotiated settlement outlining these terms and others is set forth in Exhibit A ("Settlement Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the Settlement Agreement is only effective upon City Council reappointing Mr. Weinstein to his prior position. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Council appoints Robert Weinstein to a term as alternate member of the Community Board for Police Accountability with a term ending February 10, 2029.
