Law enforcement agencies may, however, petition the council to waive an applicable standard(s) by submitting a written request that includes a detailed description of the reasons for the desired waiver.

(b) The council shall grant a waiver only upon a finding that compliance with a particular standard by an applicant law enforcement agency is impossible or impractical due to a unique or unusual circumstance of that law enforcement agency, and only upon a finding that the overall objectives of the program will not be compromised by the granting of such a waiver.

(c) Upon granting a waiver, the council may impose such conditions or alternative standards upon the applicant law enforcement agency as it deems necessary to assure that the overall objectives of the program are not compromised.

(d) A waiver shall be granted only when approved by a two-thirds vote of the council.
