The motion to table the request was made citing the potential impact on a pending lawsuit. Tabling the request requires that the item be voted upon before it can reappear on a future commission agenda; as a result, the commission is taking no action on its request.
Public comment was allowed during Monday's hearing.
Rittenhouse, following a November 2021 trial, was found not guilty on all counts stemming from the August 2020 shootings. Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum were killed. A third man, Gaige Grosskreutz, was shot and wounded.
The shootings unfolded during a night of protests and unrest that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
