priorities and that kind of thing. if you put that in, if you want it in two weeks, we can try. we said these parameters and we don't begin to follow them. >> i thought that we were following it. i thought it was a priority. but not a priority in terms of substance. it is a procedural priority, not a substantive. to distinguish it from the matter is that commissioner chan has read off. commissioner hammer: i think it is a very brief issue. i think there is a consensus among us that it might be useful for public comment to

move up in our agenda. and we can be responsive and put something in the future agenda. i don't think it is a big discussion. it is a brief conversation about how to redo the agenda. president marshall: i remember. two weeks then. we will take public comment on item 3. >> members of the police commission, i want to make comments on a couple of things. we have a problem over your willingness to let me, and i don't think it should be any problem. commissioner kingsley's comments about the scheduling of public comment and so forth. i have never made a statement or

indicated in any way that i did not agree with the idea that you can set your agenda in any manner or form you want. what i have said is that if i see that the way you have set the agenda or the way you follow the agenda is contrary to public policy, harmful to public participation and public comment or in any way done in a way that is inappropriate, i have the right to address that. i have never said you can't set them up anyway you want. if you set them up in a way that the public is discouraged for participating, i have every right to get up and address that fact. so i will stipulate that you can set your agenda, and you will stipulate that if i have a problem with it, i can address it.

the second matter is about the director of occ's report from last week. i made a comment at that time, the director was allowed to respond and i was not given an opportunity to respond. i like to reiterate and show this chart on the overhead here, my figures still work. there were 52 complaint sustained, 15.7%. in 2010, there was one complaint sustained out of 294. that is not as was stated previously, it is .3%. again, if you look at it, 53 total complaints sustained in both years, 640 resolved comes out to the figure that the occ director gave, 8%.

that was my comment. maybe the reason people are not participating is because in 2010, of all of the resolve complaints, only one was sustained. so what are we supposed to get from that? 293 citizens decided to go through the process for no reason at all? or is it that the officers involved are so perfect that less than 1% or a total of 99.7% were found to be not at fault. [chime] president marshall: further public comment? item number 4 please. >> this has been moved to a future meeting when we have all of the commissioners. president marshall: is anybody

not going to be here next week? all right, 10-27. public comment on item number four? >> i am the director of san francisco open government. i have filed another complaint from the meeting for last week. when they came out of closed session, the commissioners went to the item that was on the agenda, this issue. the statement was made by the vice-president who was the presiding officer, we have had a discussion about this briefly. president marshall is not present this evening. we have agreed to put this matter over for one week. if you look at the public

record, the video recording, when was that discussion and agreement done? when did you hold this discussion that you stated that you had? when did you come to this agreement? was it or was it not out of the side of the public? was it during closed session or some other place? i know. but free speech is including silence. sometimes taking a moment to catch your breath and let it sink in can be very valuable. one of the things that i have to say, when i bring out things like this, there was initially an idea that if we interrupt him enough, if we discourage him, he will get up and go away. remember something that b.f. skinner said, any behavior

rewarded will be repeated. i want to ensure that free speech rights are respected. i have had friends that have died in iraq and afghanistan. i am a military veteran. i believe in the constitution. i believe each and everyone of you took an oath to protect and defend the constitution. i think some of these things occurred in the past two meetings. i was interrupted five times. this is not in any way, shape, manner, or form, a thing that you can characterize as be doing something wrong. i am doing what your agenda is as i can do, exercising my right under sunshine. president marshall: further

public comment? item number five. >> routine administrative business. scheduling of items for future commission meetings. president marshall: do we have any announcements? all right. let's move to scheduling of items for consideration. do we have a community meeting scheduled this month? >> none scheduled for the rest of the calendar year. president marshall: right, we said that. nextw eek -- next week, i assume that is the disciplinary meetings. how does the calendar look for next week? >> we have two cases. president marshall: and they

will be at the top of the calendar? alright. i don't want to get my wednesday's mixed up again. commissioners, and the thing -- anything? >> i have a question. in the past, the third meeting of the month was the meeting where you had a number of reports schedules, including quarterly reports from the occ, a number of other reports. a question to you would be to whether you want to consider having those reports on a different calendar than the third wednesday? because it would require many of

us to be here through your hearing and in case you want to pull them off of the consent calendar. president marshall: that is a very good point. what are those items? >> those are the quarterly reports, the quarterly update of the general orders, bulletins issued. and also the list of closed session disciplinary actions. those are the main matters that come forward in the quarterly reports. putting those on the consent calendar, it becomes a routine item. unless the commissioner has

something they want to sever for discussion, there is the point that staff would have to be here in order to be prepared for that. if we leave that until after the hearing -- president marshall: that was my thought. we can move it to another date. >> what about the second week of the month? the third is disciplinary and forth is community meetings. would that work? >> the second meeting of the month will not work for the quarterly reports unless we push it to the next month. in other words, rather than giving you the quarterly report for the third quarter, the second week of october, i could give it to you the second week of november. >> it becomes a month older at

that point. >> but we have to crunch the numbers. we need the time. >> i support director hicks. >> if there is no commissioner wishing for a separate matter of discussion, another option is to take them up at the beginning in the deal with it, moving on into the hearing. the becomes a familiar now. as the commission has observed, they are very well done. we did have this issue several years ago when we were establishing this protocol, we identified the third meeting of the month. in our effort to dispose of disciplinary cases, we zeroed in

on the third meeting of the month. president marshall: could we try next week and see? >> what i was going to inquire, do we have a case set for next week? ? we have two. >> are they locked in? there's no live hearing. >> the transcripts, the commissioners have had them. i believe the exhibits were all distributed. these are both up for decision. >> today is the twenty -- >> today is the thirteenth.

>> wow. i take it that is not going to happen? >> we had a couple of matters that were heard by individual commissioners, and they asked to have that matter come forward on this date. we are not taking any evidence. we thought we could get both of these in front of the commission on the same night. >> we said that publicly, to have a live hearing, the cases that we have pending before us -- >> there will be one in november. >> commissioner, we had to make a scheduling decision. there's a lot that goes into

getting a hearing in front of the commission. we thought that the time was best served -- and we will get into that later this evening. commissioner kingsley: in terms of this month, next week seems to be relatively light, why don't we proceed as we have before and let director hicks presenter reports and do our cases? >> the other proposal i would make is that rather than the second wednesday of the month, the first wednesday of the month following quarter. that would be another possibility rather than gambling with of the third wednesday. we will be ready next week.

>> in the future, you prefer on the first week? that sounds good to me. the first week of the month to include an occ report. does that make sense? in the future, we could do it that way. president marshall: i see you squinting, lieutenant. >> i have something in my eye, commissioner. [laughter] president marshall: all right then. any public comment on item number 5? item number six.

>> this is public comment on all matters pertaining to a closed session. president marshall: any public comment on the matter of closed sessions? hearing none, item number 7. >> a vote on whether to hold a closed session. >> so moved. president marshall: we will remain here in this room. >> ladies and gentlemen, please

>> returning to open session, $7:32 p.m. the commissions that were here previously are all still here. item 9 is a vote vote to elect whether to disclose any or all discussion held in closed session. >> i move not to disclose it. >> i second that. >> item number 10 is adjournment. >> i move to adjourn. >> the meeting is adjourned at 7:33 p.m. [whereupon at 7:33 p.mm

>> hi. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> i don't want to follow eric schmidt. my job is to welcome you to this wacky place i call home, san francisco. a city that prides itself on the cutting edge of new ideas. you are home to the birthplace of live science and i bet half of you forgot the united nations was founded in the city and county of san francisco.

to make this point -- what makes us a special place is the capacity to live and propser together over every difference. that is the economic paradigm that makes this city so vibrant and me so optimistic. it used to be that a company would open up and everybody would move to that city. now, companies go to where the talent is. the paradigm and efforts in san francisco create the conditions where people, regardless of race, religion, rich, poor, and regardless of their sexual orientation come here to live

their lives in a way that is fully expressed. this is the economic purpose. resources of all our plan to invite the best and brightest into the city that was probably best described as 47 miles surrounded by reality. this is a magical place, where we do not just celebrate our differences but unite around our common humanity. i think that is one reason that you were in a city with the lowest unemployment rate of the cities and counties in this state. this is very high but this is doing better than any other county in california. this is a city and county where people are making a historic investments. the home to twitter and ustream and the wikipedia foundation

and the brand new headquarters at 8th and brannon at zenga. but are announcing their new headquarters here in san francisco. a few years ago, they had 398 employees, and now they have 1200. and they have made a seven year commitment to the city and they will grow north of 2000 employees. this is not where everything ends. zenga, you know this. i want to congratulate them on their wisdom. their long-term commitment to the city. we are making a long-term commitment to them. and the same with the sales force that is growing exponentially. dolbe labs, around the corner in

this city. this city is starting to see all the high-tech companies that were in other parts of the state of california and across the country coming back to rediscover what is right with san francisco. and i am here because, not just because i am the mayor, but i am is somebody who lives here. i care about the fate and the future and i care about this city. i am here to tell you baps the best days of san francisco are ahead of us, and they are not behind us. and there is a lot of excitement and interest -- and enthusiasm happening here. and i would like to talk about those of you who are operating companies outside of this city, please take another look at san francisco. i would like free to think about the state of california and the talent that is here.

people and creativity and talent, creating these conditions to invite the best and brightest from across the world. the proximity to berkeley and stanford, research and development that is here and human capital. we know what is happening in connecticut and boston and san diego. they understand these ingredients. the organic growth as part of the dna, and the lifeblood of san francisco. i am here as the mayor, to promote this wonderful city. i am here as a small business person. i look forward to getting back into the business world and i hope that i will continue to

find growth and opportunity to invest in the san francisco bay area. and i am here to tell you that now is the time to invest in the city. the opportunity to find a big space has never been self- evident. could not be like those companies that have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars per month going to the south bay. you could spend less money by going to where the employees already are by opening and expanding in the city of san francisco. i am a little bit uneasy, being here. but i will say this. i just came back from the debate of the lieutenant governor. i am here to thank you for all of your hard work. thank you for your creativity and your ingenuity. thank you for the willingness to take risks. learn from your mistakes.

thank you for understanding that mistakes are portal of discovery. and you always miss 100% of the shots that you don't take. thank you for giving people hope and expectation and wonder that is the quality of imagination inside each and every one of you. thank you for making san francisco and the state and this nation such a special and unique place. thank you for the work that you will be doing, this is the head of all of us and inside each and every one of you. thank you. the tech crunch. thank you for hosting this here, and thank you to mayor bloomberg for saying this in new york. but in san francisco we are equally competitive. michael in the east coast, we want for you to recognize the

unique advantages. proximity, the gateway to the pacific. california. the sky is the limit. i am grateful that all of you are here and are taking the time. thank you, and have a great conference. >> we will have to have the debate on which is better.
