Issue 10 will create a nine-member review board made up of citizens that would monitor complaints against Akron Police.

Issue 10, which would codify a police oversight board in the city charter, was sparked by the fatal police shooting of Jayland Walker, an unarmed Black man.

Akron City Council Vice President Jeff Fusco introduced a resolution to oppose the police oversite charter amendment during a committee meeting Monday, calling the proposal "flawed."

City council was required to pass an ordinance putting a civilian police review board on the ballot because a petition got enough valid signatures. However, council members expressed concern with some of the language in the charter amendment.

Annie McFadden, Chief of Staff/Deputy Mayor for Administration, and Ellen Lander Nischt, Press Secretary/Senior Strategic Counsel, are both departing the mayor's office.
