president mazzucco: thank you, commissioner chan. anyone else? -- falvey, any announcements? secretary lt. falvey: coming up with the actual tihe is a nativa former reserve officer and a police officer down and half moon bay, and he truly loved what he did here. suffice it to say that jim hammer really liked what he did here, and he made decisions from the heart, and i was with him for about four years in the

d.a.'s office, in the is just a good man, concerned about the community. as we went through the chief selection process, he was very productive and advocated strongly for the lgbt community, and i have to tell you, it is a loss to not have him here tonight, and hopefully we will have him backstage. commissioners proved commissioner -- have him back soon. commissioner? commissioner: i will also miss him. protecting the rights of victims, and he was passionate about that cause. we should continue to make sure we carry out what his top priorities are on the commission, and in the time he has been on the commission, there are a number of things

that he volunteered for, a number of committees that he was on, and he puts in a very significant of time in his evening and weekends working on commission work, and it is like a second job for him. there are cases that he handled wonderfully, especially our oldest and texas cases, so i do hope that he returns. >> commissioner, can you fill us in on the process? apparently, he has made the decision to go forward with another term? is that which understanding is? president mazzucco: i do not know what his decision is. >> i am sorry. i was reading more into it. president mazzucco: he told me not to say anything about him tonight, and i did not listen. i think it would be good to have jim back. i do not know a process he is going through about the decisions he is making, but one

thing i was a clear as day is that i would love to have him back. just tonight, he is missed. asknot clients, but applicants d officers themselves. he doesn't even know if that email was received by the liaison office. we certainly want to work with the lieutenant to see what will make his job easier, and that will move us toward in making the control specialist more reliable. thank you. president mazzucco: thank you. >> and the way to put them out of commission -- i know he is very telegenic, but he is an able worked radinsky is an in

tabler -- he is an enabler. that is your job. please do it. president mazzucco: thank you. >> commissioners, very briefly, i spoke about one week ago about the murder rate in san francisco, and going back to about one year ago, i talked to inspector evans apocalypto -- i talk to an inspector. are these murderous coming into san francisco and then leaving?

it seems to solve some of these murders, you are going to need more than 12. you'll probably need it 30, 40, 50. on a bus, there are five years later. there is various other murders. i know when gordon was the chief of police, set it was the highest murder rate in san francisco. maybe diversity was more important than brains. i do not know what the issue was, but i do know it, that murders went up during his regime, and a lot of people were very upset. i think there should be more due diligence in terms of solving some of these unsolved crimes, particularly murder and mayhem in the city.

i can observe what goes on in the tenderloin at night in various parts of the city. when i am driving, i see a lot of crimes. as for murders, we know they go reported, but i do not know it you can have this when wives are missing their husbands and husbands missing their wives and say that is all we can do, put edit create a reward out, it's because we do not have any leads korea into 10 years to get osama bin laden. -- we do not have any leads. it took 10 years to get osama bin laden. eyunni detective sitting on them year after year until these to pop up.

rewards to pay off, and we get a resolution to this problem. the i thank you for your time on the issue. president mazzucco: miss grove? >> good evening. my name is barbara growth. on the issue of murders, i think i have a chance to help solve the zodiac killings. at various odd hours when i am up, and there is an article from the wichita police department. they had murderer -- murders that spanned over 30 years. they finally got the guy. if you can figure out who is handling it with homicide, i did not get the beginning of it, but i have got my name and my information on it, and somebody from homicide can go through it.

i was very pleasantly surprised that they had something like that. whether or not there was another police department that had a span of murders. this what by information on the paper there, et and part of this was a police commission meeting. i did not have time, and that is what went on. the lieutenant from homicide, in whose name is on the paper. thank you. president mazzucco: thank you. we have three items coming up, three, four, five. they have been listed as three separate items. the presentation done by one group from the san francisco

police department. to have the presentation done, that is essentially public comment regarding all three of those, and then have three separate votes. >> you're really going to have to offer public comment on these items. president mazzucco: great, thank you. commissioner slaughter: -- secretary lt. falvey: kazakhstan the money for the supplemental or security. program. president mazzucco: you can do items four and five. madam clerk -- secretary lt. falvey: a discussion and

possible action to recommend that the board of supervisors adopt a resolution authorizing the chief of police to retroactively accept or expend $458,000, and item no. 5, a discussion and possible action to recommend that the board of supervisors adopted a resolution authorizing the chief of police to retroactively accept and expend $1.86 million. >> myself and the captain from the homeland security unit, and i have someone from the marine unit, as well, as most of these items are slotted to go there. the 2007 appropriation, that money is going to be used for three items in particular, and

entanglements system. they are disabling them and allowing us to take enforcement action if necessary. it is a camera system and four new outboard motors that will be utilized. that is the 2007 appropriation. the 2008 appropriation is some visual equipment that is down about $65,000. and this has some protection, in a tactical insertion-type of spain. some shallow water or a confined area watercraft, also known as jet skis, we are trying to get some of those, and some radiological detection

enhancement equipment for our current group. that is the 2008 appropriation. lt. falvey read it. $1.8 million, we are getting a 22-foot response vessel, a catamaran that will allow us to operations, and the boat is capable of going in shallow waters that we are currently capable of going in -- in shallower waters than we are currently capable of going in,

and i think it will really enhance our capabilities. there is a diet trucked to support our diving operations. -- there is a dive truck. it will have a scuba air compressor and the necessary equipment to support the operations for dive. it comes through fema, the port security grant, a high risk assessment in the fema target assessment program, so they have awarded us this money. president mazzucco: great. thank you. commissioner kingsley? commissioner kingsley: thank you, captain. applies for these various grant monies? >> grants are different. this particular one, sargeant matthews did most of the particular leg work and putting the proposal together.

they go through, as you see the abbreviation for the grant system, the review all the packages that were sent, and they decide who the award will go to, but the funding comes from fema. >> thank you. commissioner kingsley: is this an extraordinary amount? it seems like a pretty good when from where i am sitting in reading. how does it compare to our kind of your to your money's? outside sources? but -- >> i was recently transferred to this unit. they had supplemental funds after the already distributed. let me ask sergeant matt use if he has an opinion on how large they are. >> commissioners, this started

2007 with an initial round. every year, the program is allotted a different amount of funding, and the ports are to be receiving different funds. the san francisco marine exchange determines which projects will go forward to fema for awarding, but the allocation changes from year to year as well as the amount of funds that will be required to be paid by the department, such as annie managed funds. the department was not required to do that. commissioner kingsley: thank you very much for your hard work on this. >> we are talking about grants from fiscal years 2007, to govern it, in 2010. how does that work? i know the book 7 closed for a

long time. >> the information i have received, commissioner, is they are not very timely with those things. after paying out all of their obligations for 2007, to dow's eight, they came up with money back a supplemental. as soon as we became aware of them, we made a presentation, and it was accepted. >> fiscal year 2007 is the federal government's fiscal year 2007? pick money being applied to our fiscal year 2011 budget could do you know? it does not really matter. >> it is from the federal grant period. >> commissioner, for your information, most of these grants have a three-year performance period, which the federal government is then able to extend, so that is -- >> i would make the motion now

to accept the grant and line items for three, a free war, and five. president mazzucco: public comment for line items 3, at the war, and five. let's start with public comments on item number three. any public comment? four. hearing none? secretary lt. falvey: for item number three, we had a motion. for the other, you have a motion and a second. president mazzucco: line item number five, do we have a motion? thank you very much. let's move now to line item

>> my father was a lebanese immigrant. he would say that range today is very good luck.

we are seeing good luck on our ceremony today. and an upsurge in interest with the sustainability program. in july of 2009, the executive director -- executive directive talking about healthy and sustainable food for san francisco, i asked all departments to carry out posturing food production in the city. today, we have are before us, literally, groundbreaking legislation. what he will sign into law today, what the mayor will sign into law today represent a big of a to the city's regulation of local food production.

our community gardens and backyard kitchen gardens will be permitted everywhere under this legislation. surprisingly enough, prior to this legislation, the sale of that food was not. the products are primarily derived from locally grown foods. it establishes operational standards to ensure compatibility of urban agriculture within our existing neighborhoods. there are [unintelligible]

from the agricultural commission as well. it is my great pleasure to introduce the champion of environmental sustainability. he was director of public works and the city administrator. he has been instrumental in moving electric vehicle policies forward as well as leading an overall effort to make the city far more sustainable. it is my great pleasure to introduce you today. >> good afternoon, everybody. it is my personal pleasure to be out here. i want to thank supervisor mar,

the environmental department, the agricultural commissioner, the real people and volunteers, i have just been acquitted with the names of eli and caitlin. and all of these more famous people in my opinion because of what they have been doing with this example. we are personally very happy to sign this legislation. i know we got started some time ago. we are out here, but we are not going to be out here for five hours like the planning commission meetings. we are out here to do something very good for neighbors. we have the neighborhood here that are all in concert. it will be very good deal for

the city. my wife wants to be on that list to be able to buy organic. she is one of those crazy 5:00 36:00 in the morning light people. it don't bother me, i am going out. i think this is wonderful. the agricultural ordnance, which is smart legislation, and it is all one of the legislation's that brings government, volunteers, and people of residents closer together. it is things that we do that we are proud of. i would rather win more friends than create political enemies. i will perhaps set the standards a little higher. they have got to come and support these types of things that are greener, the are more.

we have got to break open these lots. we have got to do something more. the supervisors got on that very quickly because it was natural for them to do we will enjoy the food produced here. that is why the health department is involved and that is why there are so many other agencies involved. i am here as a proud moment to be here with the community and represent that more of this has

to be done. i was here when we tried to unclog these flooded streets. and actually do something that label be proud of it for many generations to come. this movement has been fantastic. it is one i clearly endorse. i know that we are going to unveil some really great maps. we will really take advantage of this
