According to KRQE with videos of the whole day as it unfolded.
Maes says she voted against the recommendations the APS Police were wanting; but was really voting for them.
The confusion stems from Maes motion which started out concisely but then deteriorated into a rambling explanation of pretty much all of the thoughts going through her head at the moment.
By the time the motion is expressed; everyone is hopelessly confused about what they are voting on.
Again Robert Lucero called the question and the committee chairperson did not take a vote to call the question.
It is time for the board to get some training in Parliamentary Procedure/Robert's Rules of Order so that the keystone cops routine for handling motions does not continue. They need a professional, or at least a capable parliamentarian to attend to their meetings.

Also on Friday, board president Paula Maes, who made the motion to keep the police department status quo, said she had been misunderstood.
She said she actually recommended the adoption of the commission and the superintendent's recommendations to allow officers to carry guns.
Brenda Yager, board manager, said the minutes were not yet available.
What this journal article meant was, THE MINUTES HAVE NOT BEEN ALTERED YET. Bring back the public forum on TV. Unaltered, NOW.
OK, what happened to the televised version of the board meeting that was supposed to be shown last night on TALNET at 5 according to Talnet and the TV guide?
Last time it was on at 6 instead of 5, this time not at all. What exactly are they trying to hide? When I contact talnet they say that APS gives them the tape and they air it the following Sat. at 5 PM. I am really getting tired of this. One thing in Allison's favor was he made communication a priority. The board meetings were held twice on the weekends, round table shows, and radio spots. And the trains ran on time too.
