The Chapel Hill Town Council has scheduled a closed meeting to meet with the Town Attorney before their regular business meeting Monday.

The council will go into closed session at 5 p.m. Monday to "provide an opportunity for the chief of police, senior police legal advisor, and town manager to provide information and responses to Council questions and concerns arising out of the November 13 incident on West Franklin Street and issues that have arisen related to that incident," according to Ralph Karpinos, in an e-mail to the Town Council Thursday.

Karpinos says the council and officials will discuss matters related to personnel of "an attorney client nature" in the session, which is in accordance with the state Open Meetings Law.

Karpinos asked the council members to review reports by Town Manager Roger Stancil and Police Chief Chris Blue before the closed meeting, and said the council may also discuss the possibility of appointing an independent investigator to review the Nov. 13 raid on the former Yates Motor Co. building.

The town's Community Policing Advisory Committee is scheduled to ask the council for funding to hire an independent investigator during the council's public business meeting at 7 p.m. Monday.

Town Manager Roger Stancil has begun talks with the town's Community Policing Advisory Committee over the police operation at the Yates Motor Co. building on Nov. 13.

In an e-mail to the town council, Stancil wrote that he and Town Attorney Ralph Karpinos have started a conversation with Ron Bogle, chairman of the committee, "to mutually design a process that will provide an opportunity for the Committee to review policies and ask questions about the Yates Motor Company operation."

The group met on Nov. 29 and Bogle agreed to wait until the town released its report on the police action. Stancil said the report should be finished in a few weeks.

The committee is advisory, which means it has no decision making power. It's made up of residents appointed by the town council. Some council members have said the committee is the right body to review the use of force used in the Yates building operation, but others have said the town needs an independent commission to objectively review the actions of police on Nov. 13.
