Civilian oversight and clear authority

What arrangements would make civilian oversight responsibilities and legal representation clearer to residents?

R1.4 and R1.5 propose independent counsel and restructuring. County disputes the counsel proposal and calls for analysis. This question explores alternatives without assuming a conflict has been legally established.

Why this matters

Clear authority helps residents understand who can investigate, advise and act.
