    The United States Attorney for the District of Oregon sent a letter to the City Attorney of Portland agreeing to a 60-day recess of the Community Oversight Advisory Board (COAB) meetings. This would allow the City to evaluate the successes and failures of the community engagement and oversight provisions in the Settlement Agreement from the case United States v. City of Portland. At the end of the 60-day period, the United States expects to review proposals from the City for conceptual amendments to the agreement. The United States will not seek enforcement action against the City during this temporary break, though noncompliance may be noted in the annual report.

    United States v. City of Portland


    Case No. 3:12-cv-02265-SI

    Dear Ms. Reeve:


    In light of the recent difficulties inhibiting the proper functioning of the Community
    Oversight Advisory Board and the Citys compliance with Section IX of the Settlement
    Agreement, we agree that a sixty-day recess of COAB meetings is warranted. During this time,
    the City will be in a position to evaluate the successes and failures of the community engagement
    and oversight provisions of the agreement. At the end of the sixty-day period, we anticipate an
    opportunity to review the Citys proposal for conceptual amendments.
    The United States will not seek enforcement action against the City during this temporary
    break. The annual report may reflect the Citys noncompliance, with recognition of the
    difficulties associated with implementation.
    Finally, throughout the next 60 days, we look forward to meeting periodically to share
    stakeholder input. We will work with you towards a proposal for modifications.

    Ms. Tracy Reeve
