The job description proposed by the Citizen's Advisory Committee was slightly amended before being approved by the council. A critical issue was the recommendation made by the citizens' committee to require that the candidate have a minimum of five years of investigative expe- rience. Opponents saw this requirement as catering the position to a former police officer or district attor- ney an incumbent detrimental to the purpose of having an auditor in the first place, in the view of some. Oncethis requirementWa-ireitioved by the coun- cil, discussion regarding the job description flowed more smoothly. The proposed independent police auditor posi- tion was adopted in November by the City Council after Mayor Susan Hammer came up with the reso- lution in lieu of establishing a citizen review board. The board is advocated by the ACLU, the Santa Clara County Bar Association and the SJSU cam- pus-based Direct Action Alliance. Twenty-four people, including a few SJSU stu- dents, were arrested at the November meeting when their protest disrupted the council's proceedings. Christine A.
