comment about the police. >> any further public comment. the next item, the tenant. >> item 3, routine administrative business. >> before you call that item, we have been advised that this will probably be your last evening with the police commission and that your resignation was finally accepted that he submitted over a year and a half ago. we understand that you have a new post working for the assistant chief. bernanke for training with us. we will really miss you, you are the police commissioner.

you are a great man and a great police officer and you have kept us on track. people cannot understand the hours that you put in some of the text messages, e-mail regarding critical incidents. preparing these packages and delivering them to our houses. getting to know our families. you are really an incredible person and an incredible human being and i'm glad you're moving on to the most -- the new post. i will really miss you. >> thank you very much. [applause] >> i am not moving that far away, i am just moving down the hall. >> i have no idea that it was your last day.

>> thank you. >> i appreciate the time that you spent helping me get acclimated to the commission. hearing a lot of the history of the commission was tremendously helpful. i wish you the best. >> we have had a lot of conversations over the years. i don't know how i could have stayed on the commission all the time without you. you have been the conduit. that best thing that i've seen

is the day you got your attendance badge. i am glad that you are not going far away. thank you so much for your service. >> thank you. i did not know it was your last day and spent the whole day with you interviewing court clerks. thank you for all you have done. i think you're one of the first person to work with me when i was going through the process. you literally worked day and night. thank you for your service. >> i appreciate that very much. >> as the newest commissioner here, you made my transition

incredibly easy. i cannot contemplate the amount of work that you get done on a weekly basis. we finish this up very late in the evening on wednesdays. you have really shown your devotion to the park and the city and you should sleep very well knowing that you have done your fair share. >> thank you, commissioners. i appreciate this. i was not expecting this to come out. we're trying to make a single transition. i must say first of all that the six years i was in the office, i would have collapsed roadway- collapsed right away. in the early days when i was

trying to prepare everything, she propped up the whole operation and she still does. she is someone who never point to herself or look for any kind of accolades or anything like that. i cannot take all the credit. i will not be moving too far away. i still expect support from the commission as needed and as the demands arise and with the indulgence of the chief. it would be my honor to do that. i would like to think the city attorney's office. i appreciate all the detailed explanations and prompting me out. they helped me to look me --

helped me to find the answer. it is easy when you have dedicated people on the commission. >> think you. i would like to think this is referred dropping off with you. we will be bothering you. >> i am sure that i will be surfacing from time to time.

you're one of the most familiar faces seen on san francisco television. and thank you, lieutenant. >> thank you for overlooking all of the mistakes over the years. you're very kind. >> thank you. >> item 3. the first item is commission announcements. this is the assignment of disciplinary charges filed against patrol special officer robert burns to an individual commissioner for the taking of evidence on a date to be determined by the commissioner.

mr. president, commissioner marshall has a case already signed on this matter so with your indulgence, we will assign this to commissioner marshall. i've been in contact with council on this matter. no other commission announcements that i have a this time. >> the next item. >> scheduling of items identified france of it -- for consideration of future commission meetings. the commission will be holding its medal of valor ceremony on december 15th and we will make the final arrangements later. that is one day and the titular that we do have. >> i know there was some

discussion last week regarding the general order about using deadly force and i know that we have had some conversations whether that should be enclosed session but we really need to move with that. i know that we tentatively have that set for the eighth. i am asking that we prepared to move forward with that and move forward without as needed. this is something that we really need to address and i understand the issues out there. i've spoken to one other commissioner about this but i think that we need to move on this sooner than later. >> i am aware that is the date that we are looking at. i have a meeting tomorrow with diprivan representatives to go

over the issue and then we will get some policy direction from the chief. as i said, we need to go find a basis for closed session and if we cannot find one, we will have to think of a way to get the matter before the commission. we do have meetings scheduled. >> we are dark next week? >> that's correct. >> there was a bulletin that went out that i believed the it department gave to the commission and we are looking at

the that bulletin and whether there needs to be some further changes were clarification. >> this is a policy matter and i don't understand why this would be in close to session. -- in closed session i don't understand this. >> a brief update on the court hiring process. we spent most of the day interviewing applicants and we will most likely have a candidate by december 15th in time for a background check. it is to give you that time line. >> thank you. >> following up on the question of whether this should be an

open session are closed session. discussions like this should be in open session. my only concern is if it would have an effect on any pending cases and if there could be attorney-client privilege questions that might be raised as to effective pending cases. i would like to city attorney to perhaps look at that. otherwise, if there are any other concerns, we will look at this. >> fighting that it should be a general hybrid and should be in open session. this will be a delicate balance. this is one that we need to address. we don't want to have our officers at risk. we need to move sooner than later on this.

thank you. anything further? >> commissioner, i would like to also think the city attorney's office has been a tremendous asset to my tenure as commission secretary. also to follow up on dr. marshall's comment, we will be dark on the 22nd. this this thanksgiving week. no commission meeting next week. >> thank you, everyone. any other public comment? >> that is when said the 24th. i beg your pardon. >> my comment is on the shoe law. transparency is very important.

the officers' conduct should be public. if i go in front of a judge, my conduct is public. an officer is not public. this lot needs to be overturned in my honest opinion. thank you. >> is there any other public comment? >> hearing none, next item. >> item four is all the items pertaining to closed session which is items 6. this includes public comment on whether to go into closed session. >> is to any public comment regarding closed session? >> hearing none, please call the next session. >> this is the vote on whether to go into closed session. >> seconded. >> we will now move into closed session regarding disciplinary matters. thank you.

>> it is 9:42 p.m. we are moving out of closed session and moving to item seven. i want to know for the record the presence of commissioners slaughter, marshall, dejesus, and kinglsey. we can move to item seven with your indulgence, a vote to elect whether to disclose any or all of the discussion held in closed session. >> i move that we do not disclose. >> any public comment? >> lastly, moving to item 8, adjournment.

>> it is going to be a good thing for us to take used motor oil from customers. we have a 75-gallon tank that we used and we have someone take it from here to recycle. >> so far, we have 35 people. we have collected 78 gallons, if not more. these are other locations that you can go. it is absolutely free. you just need to have the location open. you are set to go. you are set to go. i was just driving around minding my own business... when it came out of nowhere. suddenly, there were lights all around me.
