The motion was opposed by the City of Oakland, and ultimately the parties agreed to a concept titled "Compliance Director."^ Following an agreement by parties to pursue an alternative to a federally appointed receiver the Office of the Compliance Director was ordered by Judge Thelton E. Henderson on December 12, 2012.^ On March 4, 2013 Judge Henderson appointed Commissioner Thomas C. Frazier (Ret.) as the Compliance Director.^° On March 10, 2013 the Court issued an Order of Clarification regarding, in large measure, the authority and scope of the Compliance Director." On March 17, 2013 the court issued an order approving the Compliance Director's staff. The Compliance Director Court order dated December 12, 2012 addresses the reporting duties of the Compliance Director, and delineates the following requirements:^^ 1. "Within 30 days of his or her appointment, the Compliance Director will file a remedial action plan ("Plan") that both addresses deficiencies that led to noncompliance and explains how the Plan will facilitate sustainable compliance with all outstanding tasks by December 2013 or as soon thereafter as possible. "The Plan will include: a. A proposed budget, to be included as part of the Oakland Police Department ("OPD") budget, that is mutually agreed to by the Compliance Director, the Mayor, the City Administrator, and the Chief of Police for the fiscal year based on proposed expenditures for task compliance. b. A plan for the oversight, acquisition, and implementation of a personnel assessment system ("IPAS") that provides a sustainable early-warning system that will mitigate risk by identifying problems and trends at an early stage. c. Strategies to ensure that allegations made by citizens against the OPD are thoroughly and fairly investigated. d.
