the issue after we deal with this is whether or not and officers and extreme circumstances should have to available with very tight restrictions and to this says the department and the public that mental-health is a distinct issue an important issue and what comes first. >> i'm not on the committee so i have not had enough to aid and what will be presented. i'm not sure if you're talking about presentation or if we can have speakers come and speak as well. so, i guess we can get some clarity >> i think that that is a good time for us to bring in not just the department but people went to memphis and los angeles and saw the different models and those who are versed in this area. certainly we have to be

partners and have had for decades and we need to hear from them and those who have expertise in this area. this should be an open meeting for us to do our homework and understand this issue so that we can come up with a set of recommendations and a plan for the department on how to address this properly. >> i want to echo what was said. this is a priority of the department to separate these. people have strong feelings about this. i think the party has to be dealing with the mental health issues as mental health issues and a taser as a last resort if necessary. i look forward to the presentation because i have not heard those sides. with respect to the hearing on

the ninth, i certainly hope that this is not just a presentation before the department but this is critical that we get presentation from our partners and members of the committee. thank you. hogwarts we had planned on bringing some people from out of town for their presentation. we can bring this back two weeks to accommodate this board. i would like to be able to get some assurances from this board that february 9th will be mental illness and mental illness alone and we are not going to mold the taser argument into that. if that is the case, i am

prepared to load up with all of my people. >> i think that the people who will be coming to comment about these issues have to be committed to discuss whatever they want to discuss. i expect that the taser issues will likely come up. i don't think that anyone -- i would not expect the -- i still put to the issue on whether to use tasters as one of the weapons for the force as a separate issue. that's focused on the best methods to handle mental health issues.

i would not be expecting you to do a full-blown response to those types of dishes at that meeting. i will let the other commissioners expressed their own opinions. >> i'm not concerned about public comment, i am concerned about the commission. >> the issue is mental health. sometimes people say, i have heard this the 4. i think that it might touch upon it but i agree with the chief that it could be the main focus.

we will look at what training they have, what happens in memphis and los angeles and in san jose. that takes over most of the evening. i think they need to explain to the public that when you deal with these individuals, they see you differently. i am hoping to hear from the members of the police department about their experiences. how often they come into contact. part of the presentation includes some explanation from the mental health community. why do we have so many from this city? the taser issue, this is a waste

of our time on what we need to focus on. let's focus on the mental health issues. i think the commissioners should respect that and i will leave it to them. >> if i understand that our meeting on the ninth will be to allow the commission as a whole to get a better understanding and to get feedback from experts in the community in the mental health arena. if that accurate? >> yes. when we have this type of exploratory meeting, what is there a process of reaching out to communicate that to the

community in general. is there a database already set up that the commission has? how do we communicate that. >> when we meet tomorrow, we

will discuss where the people where need to be. we will have a sense if there are any questions. >> we will have a sense of next wednesday. >> these are selected by the commissioners. >> these people have been dedicated to this. this is rather clear. >> what is our process of making sure other than just announcing it at commission meetings? do we have any other way of getting meeting set are of particular importance? >> a short of putting up fliers,

the people would come to the police commission website, the commissioners can do their best to get everyone here. i think the word is getting out. >> can we have the newspapers get out -- >> we have the agenda on line and at the public library. >> we cannot control the public. it looks like they will address the mental health and the recent police contact3

tasers are part of what is going on today and i expect this to be addressed at the health hearing as well as the taser hearing. we should gather the information and let the people speak. >> the taser issue is a big issue. the weekend come to the commission again. when we have discussions, we

have an opportunity to talk about those issues them. my only concern that we digress from the mental illness and we get into the taser and i hope that this is not the case. we are prepared to give our presentation. >> i would strongly make sure

that we focus on the mental health issue. we could easily spend two or three hours talking about this. i applaud your work. when you listen to the officers in the street, they really -- where does this fix the budget. -- where does this put of the

budget? >> any public comment regarding this issue? hearing none, let's move the the next item. >> this is on public comment on items pertaining to closed session. >> the police commission is moving into closed session to handle personnel matters. these matters are confidential personnel matters and we have to move into closed session. any public comment? hearing none, is there a motion to move in to public >> thank you, sgt.

>> do we need to have a motion? >> do you want to call the next item? >> we are back in session. >> to call the next item. >> line item 9 is to elect whether to disclose any and all discussion in closed session. >> move to not disclosed. >> all in favor? >> item 10, adjournment. >> do we have a second? all in favor. aye. >> thank you, commissioner.
