The investigative summaries are summarized investigative reports.  Upon completion of an investigation, the director forwards the investigative reports to the board. The board conducts a review hearing solely for the purpose of confirming the completeness of the investigation and approving or disapproving the director's report.

Where the findings and recommendations are approved, they are submitted to the Chief of Police and City Manager. The City Manager shall agree, disagree or agree in part with any findings and recommendations either by the board or director, and shall inform the director and the board in writing of any reason for agreeing in part or disagreeing.
