EUGENE, Ore. -- Eugene's independent police auditor will meet on Monday in a work session with the City Council to talk about a controversial case involving the tasing of a Chinese exchange student. But Auditor Mark Gissiner isn't presenting his findings in the case.
Instead Gissiner has made it clear he will not discuss details about the incident, but merely telling council members about how he reached his conclusions.
Gissiner said the oral report is a way for council members to evaluate him since, according to the city charter, they are his supervisors. He said he wanted to fine-tune the relationship especially with cases that've have attracted the public's attention.
The auditor said he will go into detail about the tasing case at Tuesday's Civilian Review Board meeting.
"I'm not going to talk specifically about the case or the employees, but just what steps I took during the case, and what policies and procedures we looked at," Gissiner said.
Officer Judd Warden tased a non-English speaking university student thought to be trespassing last September. Police Chief Pete cleared Warden of any wrongdoing in early January.
On Tuesday, Gissiner will meet with the review board, which is expected to present its own findings on the case.
