The National City Community and Police Relations Commission convened on August 21, 2025, to address several agenda items, including the approval of excused absences from previous meetings.

The meeting began with a review of absences, where it was noted that Vice Chair Leslie and member McClure had been excused from the last meeting due to personal circumstances. Initially stated as illness, a clarification was made that Vice Chair Leslie's absence was due to a death in the family. The commission agreed to amend the record accordingly.

Following this clarification, a motion was made to approve Vice Chair Leslie's request for an excused absence for the May 15 meeting. The motion received a second, and the commission proceeded to approve the absence unanimously.

This meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to maintaining accurate records and supporting its members during difficult times. Further discussions and agenda items were expected to follow in subsequent meetings, as the commission continues its work on community and police relations in National City.
