The work of the CRC is critical to keep Portland in compliance with a 2012 settlement agreement with the Department of Justice. Without citizen oversight of police, Portland violates the settlement agreement, opening the city up to action from the Trump administration. CRC members are leaving the committee, opening up the possibility that there won’t be enough members to meet a quorum. New members must be approved by the City Council, but Delegato says it's been difficult to get those approvals on the agenda. There has to be an overlap while the new system ramps up and the old system finishes its cases in progress.
