>> i apologize. commissioner schmeltzer: catherine sandoval. commissioner campos: if there is any member of the public would like to speak, please come forward. >> hello, commissioners. i represent the san francisco green party and our city. this dovetails on the last point that i have been falling pretty closely governor brown's new appointments to the cpuc and pc. they're pretty exciting. we also need to have a little bit of caution here. they're exciting because they are incredibly strong consumer advocates being appointed. likely, a third one is to come. those same advocates in the past have needed some convincing on cca and sometimes were not that thrilled about it.

i was strongly urge staff to individually reach out to all of these new commissioners to make really clear to them how important cca is, not just for the environment, but anyone who knows a lot about cca knows that it will be very good for ratepayers. that is especially in the long term when the revenue comes and for renewable. let's make sure these consumer- oriented commissioners are really aware of the details and importance of cca and to how important it is to us that we want this to happen. it is also important to the competition. thanks. commissioner campos: thank you. is there any member of the public would like to speak? public comment is closed. we have a resolution before us. have a motion by commissioner mirkarimi seconded by commissioner schmeltzer.

can we take that without objection? done. please call the next item. >> item 6, authorization to amend the legal services agreement with miller, 01, and trost to extend the term to february 20, 2012. >> ms. miller's contract will expire at the end of february. we decided to bring this to you now. february will be a joint meeting. we wanted to get the head of the game and get that contract approved. we have learned over the years, we have had a full year of having a full-time staff on board, what the ratio when breakdown as of how much time she spends on cca direct work, which comes out of the cca fund, and the general fund side, the cca side -- the general fund side, and how that works out. we're asking for $125,000 not to

exceed the amount for this upcoming year. $20,000 of that will be coming out of the general fund side, which is out of our reserves, which is what we have been sending down. we will have a full report in march on the next fiscal year's budget process. $20,000 will come from the rest of that. the rest of it will come from the cca fund. the puc is $105,000 for that. those are the basic point. based on what transpired in this last year, this is adequate. we get her services and don't have to come back here. we can keep an eye on it and make sure it does not gets spent in the wrong way. commissioner campos: what is the current general fund expenditures for this year? for this contract? >> the one for the previous contract was $50,000 out of the cca fund and $30,000 out of the

general fund. commissioner campos: it is a reduction. >> in terms of the general fund. correct. commissioner campos: commissioner mirkarimi? commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. i want to remind commissioners that for the last three years, we have rejected all increases in budgets out of lafco. we turned them back to the general fund. what has been sustaining lafco has been the rollover of the amount. the fact that miss miller, who has been doing an excellent job in helping us monitor the bidding process, i believe we need more at the table. there has been an extraordinary use of city attorney and legal counsel time that we have seen in the first phase of the bidding process that we did not get to benefit from the time of having miss miller there as much as we would like to. that may contribute to the reduction on the pc side -- puc

side. it could expedite or accelerate the process. the increase is a reasonable one with regard to activating ms. miller more in away at the bidding process. commissioner campos: thank you, commissioner appeared colleagues, any other questions? why don't we open it up to public comment? is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item? public comment is closed. can we have a motion to authorize the amendment of the legal services agreement? motion by commissioner mirkarimi, seconded by commissioner avalos. can we take that without objection? item passes. please call the next item. >> item 7, executive officer's report. >> i want to thank you for the previous item.

it is typical to sit while you -- while your own contract is being discussed. this will be brief. first, i wanted to report back to you on the pull-mounted solar program. you may recall that we had a program we talked to you about that we thought might dovetail in with the second phase of the cca program and locals sold requirements. the program is out of new jersey. they are also doing a pilot project in los angeles and arizona, and mexico. sfpuc has been very helpful in accommodating to meeting with them and setting of potential sites for them to do the demonstration here in san francisco. secondly, i wanted to give a brief report on the fact of the legislation that we were directed and had had some discussions about at our last meeting. we are moving forward in

discussions with legislative staff and the different parties that make up the world in the state of california. we are hoping to have legislation introduced this legislative year. with that, i would like to have jason introduce to you our new intern. >> jason, lafco staff. two items, the introduction of two in terms that started with us, this month. hopefully, they will be with us as they go through school. one is andrea taurus -- torres. they both go to usf. they have provided us with two great student to help us with this program.

i look forward to continuing working with them. they have extensive background in environmental policy and issues. they will be a good addition to our program in helping get future generations of environmentalists out there and working on environmental issues in the future. i want to thank them for coming here today. one marks in the morning of the other in the afternoon. it worked out perfectly that they're not competing with each other at the desk at the same time. i want to thank them for being here today. you may have seen me out in public this last week. i have talked about launching our photo contest to promote the clean power sf program. the goal is to take the mailer we sent last year -- we have been able to go to 10 different stores throughout the city and get materials in their stores with fliers advertising the program. people will become more aware of the program. partly with the help of our

interns, including our summer intern, they put together a great prize for this program. the grand prize finalist will get a $100 gift certificate to a high-quality printing company, as well as a prize package for -- the winner will be two tickets to the san francisco zoo, the museum of modern art, and the exploratory anium. beyond that, everyone will get 15 percent off sign -- get 50% off. the first one to five people will get tote bags made in san francisco. all of our prizes are coming out of san francisco.

i will encourage every one of their to submit vote goes to was. go to the website, cleanpowersf.org. i want to thank commissioners mirkarimi and avalos. they sent out newsletters with tax about our program as well. if anyone has questions, call us at the office and we will give you details. commissioner campos: what is the deadline? >> all photos need to be submitted by february 17 at 5:00 p.m. commissioner campos: thanks. thank you very much. i want to welcome the interns. thank you for being here. we have at least one alum from usf sitting on lafco. it makes sense he would be helping us. is there any member of the

public who would like to speak on this item? >> real quickly, jason, and i hope i am not busting you out, but that printing company, i'm hoping their union shop. if they're not, i wanted to propose another company we could look for for the next gift certificate. we use a printer in the bayview that uses 100% wind power to power of their printing. we have used them for our report we did on local hiring with chinese affirmative action. they are great. it is probably a union shop. >> i don't officially know if they are union. it is not a print shop you're thinking of, where they do mass of printing. it is individually owned. they have a lab. use it on your own and print

your photos to their printers. it is not a photo printing process you are thinking of. it is an independent, a different situation. >> these guys are good for large and small. they're great outfit down there. i just really liked them. i don't know if this is legit to do. union shop, 100% wind-powered. commissioner campos: you just did it. thank you. any other member of the public who would like to speak or provide a commercial? public comment is closed. if you could please call item number 8? >> public comment for items not on the agenda. commissioner campos: this is an opportunity for any member of the public to comment on any item within the jurisdiction of lafco not on the agenda today. >> a couple of -- three

important things to go for quickly. it is something i mentioned a couple of times a year at lafco. it has become far more important. we have seen at the fcc in washington, d.c., that the chairman who we thought would be a staunch defender of net neutrality has moved forward a new rule that is going to divide net neutrality, especially for wireless internet customers. it will no longer be that freedom. this is an opportunity to remind lafco that we are not just about clean energy. we had hearings in the past about the internet and local internet service. i think we really need to get on top now. the fcc has done what it is -- what it has done. get on top of hearings of how we will build a city on fiber-optic systems so we can get around

what the fcc just did. we need to do it soon. another point is that this monday there will be a meeting at the sfpuc about the san francisco electric reliability plan, and new plan. i think lafco should get into that and agendas that so we are talking about it. there are some differences from the group's as to where it is headed right now. the final thing i would say, and i say it on behalf of myself as an individual organizer, most of you got an e-mail from me. i think this is the right way to go. you might be surprised to hear a radical pit bull like me suggest that. with one of the keys to cca being green jobs and uplifting communities with those brain jobs, i think it would be a real important thing for lafco to do

to outreach to district 10 so that crown 04 green jobs -- so that ground zero for green jobs -- so we're bringing district 10 firmly into this conversation. as a move forward, we are making sure the green jobs component and local hiring component is really front and center to this process. clean energy means nothing if we are not doing it for local employees to build stuff and to the other tasks needed for it. thanks. commissioner campos: next speaker, please. >> i just want to say that rainbow grocery has the best -- i want to say that sometimes we talked about agendizing a hearing around the discussion of

how to move the job creation component and guarantee the targeted local hiring efforts of that community choice and the build out of getting to the locals. i want to maybe put that back on the table as a possible agenda item. if you take the 2007 mirkarimi community choice ordinance and you add the avalos local hiring law, coupled that with the support we have from the general manager at harrington, who stood up in support of the hiring law, you have the recipe for greatness. that is a thought for a future agenda item. commissioner campos: thank you very much. any other member of the public would like to speak? public comment is closed. thank you very much for your excellent comments. if you could please call item number 9. >> item 9, future agenda items. commissioner campos: many of the speaker's book to this item. is there any member of lafco

like to add anything? commissioner mirkarimi: i agree with a couple of the public comments that were made about future agenda items. i think that we should agendize on the electricity resource plan. i think it is important. i absolutely support rep to the idea. we attempted to do this in other areas of interest. lafco's reach is considerable. the range of issues before lafco is really expensive, land use, housing, transit, and in other counties that exercise statutory authority in lafco, many counties, some of them are very rural and some are very urban, still exercise a great amount of their own authority on issues that we just have not entertained, though we considered this back in 2006 and

2007. the attention has been so demanding of us to stick to the question on cca's public policy, but i recommend that in the future, we begin to calendar what those other areas may look like, especially because there is such great demand coming from the regional cooperation plan on housing and transit tolls and land use the man's -- i think lafco would have something to say. commissioner campos: think you come a commissioner. just to add my comments to it, i do think a lot of excellent points have been raised. vice chair mirkarimi indicated that lafco provides a tool wrote -- a tool to explore a number of issues. it really can be a good

government tool to explore a number of areas. i look forward to hearing suggestions from members of the commission and members of the public in other agencies as to how to proceed. is there any member of the public who would like to add anything to this item? public comment is closed. madam clark, you can call the next item. do we have any other business? >> item 10, adjournment. commissioner campos: great. thank you very much. meeting adjourned. impossible. announcer: when you open a book, you can explore new lands... [bird screeches]

meet new friends, and discover new adventures. there are amazing possibilities when you open your mind to reading. [roar] you can log onto he library of congress website and let the journey begin. >> a pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic for

which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> conducting roll call now. president mazzucco: present. vice president marshall: en route. commissioner de jesus is excused this evening. commissioner hammer: present. commissioner chan: present. commissioner kingsley: present. >> james slaughter is excused. also with us is the assistant chief of police and director joysticks, of the office of citizen complaints. president mazzucco: welcome to the regularly scheduled san francisco police commission hearing meeting. tonight, we are going to do some in camera disciplinary matters,

but will start with a brief agenda. please call line item # 1. -- number one. >> public comment. members of the public may address the commission for a time not to exceed three minutes on items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission that do not appear on the agenda. president mazzucco: line item 4, a discussion of possible action to adopt a resolution advising criminal background checks pursuant to state law, for the purpose of investigating applicants' -- we have asked to take that off calendar. that item will not be on the agenda tonight. we can therefore move onto line item 1, concerning the business of the san francisco police department. good evening, nate. how are you?

>> [unintelligible] i have been here for many years, complaining about situations with the police department. i am very happy. i want to congratulate the police department in the accurate ending of the [unintelligible] how shall i call it, assassination? i woke up that morning with my heart [unintelligible] a great-grandfather of doctors. for something like that to happen to my children is unacceptable. i am appalled that there are

leaders who oppose out here when there is a photo op. i am appalled that a our ministers were not outraged to go to the streets after that. but i am here to congratulate the police department. i know that is weird, but i am. what you have done here is remarkable, and you should be commended for that. if you need an ace on the case, you have it. i would like to commend the north station and the captain who led the officers. my hat is off to them. meanwhile, to get back to business, i would also like to extradite -- i put in applications for press passes for my organization. i have been in city hall for 20 years. i would like to submit something next month. next week, and will be commended -- i will be commanded by my peers in san francisco for 20 years doing the work i am doing. hopefully, we will have somebody from police department or city hall. i want to commend the police.

for my community, i will talk to some of the african american youngsters. they were really happy that that happened. he needs help. pray for that person. that was something our community was really set about. for the police to act like that was outstanding. so thank you very much. >> give it to the police commissioner. pñ5@w>> i would like to have ths perhaps looked at and reviewed. i have been here 20 years. the people who have hired me for black history month -- hopefully that should extradite that. i want to assure our community we do have responsible people working with the police department. i commend the san francisco police department for being on the case. president mazzucco: thank you,

mr. washington. any further speakers during public comment? good evening, clyde. how are you? >> i am a little appalled some of our media outlets. some of the nonprofits are really playing this up. i know a lot more about these officers. i know a lot of them. they do not run around shooting people in wheelchairs'. they do not find somebody who looks a little weird and draw a 40 and shoot him. nonprofits are playing this up in the press. some of these people in wheelchairs' do not really need wheelchairs. walk down fifth street. there is a guy who gets $10 from tourists and walks to the tenderloin. we really need to look at this mental illness issue. how do we do mentally ill? our police department to stomach the habit of just shooting mentally ill people. if they had occasion, maybe it

would not had to go like that. i am sorry at the murder rate the past few days. it is horrible. what that man did burning the car with that lady is puzzling, the most puzzling thing i have ever read. i wish him the death penalty. he would get the death penalty, a pri. president mazzucco: hearing no other public comment, please call line item number two. >> it is reports to the commission, beginning with the chief's report of recent activities. >> how are you? president mazzucco: very good, sir. >> i would like to update you with the most recent department crime statistics from the last 28-day cycle, which ended on the 22nd. total crimes are down 21%, year- to-date. violent crime is down 4%. property crimes are down 20%. there are 99 to work part 1

crimes this year than at this time last year. -- fewer part one crimes this year than the time last year. island crime is down 7%. property crimes are down 17%. the only uptick we have the test is in homicides. we have eight homicides here to date, instead of four for 2010. president mazzucco: thank you, chief. any questions? commissioner hammer: could you talk to us a little bit about the homicide rate that is going on? has the department thought through any way in which these homicides are tied together, why it is double last year's rate? with the small data set, it is hard to extrapolate. but what the sea with the trends so far and what we are doing to reverse it? >> i did not see any trends. before i came to the meeting this evening, i compared this

year's homicides to the last four years. it is higher than it was last year. it is for higher. i have looked around the region and have noticed that the homicide rate for the three largest cities -- oakland, san jose, and san francisco -- are all higher than there were last year. i think we are noticing not only in the bay area but across the area -- across the country that there has been an increase in violence. there have been 13 police officer shot in the last six days across the country, four of them fatally. no one is sure if this is a random statistical anomaly or if there is something else of work here. commissioner hammer: i have gotten inquiries from the public about what the department is doing. is the department taking any particular steps to address this again, or are these one-of homicides in your opinion? >> having looked at all eight of them, four of them occurred in doors.

the department, in
