corporations are going to make sure -- i will make sure that this information required by the comptroller's office and of the contract in office, so that some of these so-called absences -- they come to me and i explain, i do not want their money. really. it just makes me annoyed, you know? so that they can come to my house and i give them everything? so that we discuss relevant issues? this is a mess. this ramp was created and it is very convoluted to get on base share -- bayshore. you make this right, look at these rigs, taking the bay shore around the land on third street.

i know some other areas where congestion is caused. i will put that in writing and send it to you, the jack. taking it to a better place. thank you very much. supervisor mar: any other public comments? and we are again on the second year public option. the second year option for three year extensions. can we move this forward without objection? thank you. please call the next item. >> item #6. state and federal legislative update. >> members, please to be here today. the first time in i do not know how long that we have a state budget that was enacted on time. it was very nice coming across the hill.

i would like to draw your attention quickly. we had two bills to take positions on. the first is on page 10 of the matrix. this is a bill that on the surface does not look like it does much, but is intended to be a rescue vehicle in the budget process. proposition activity funding in the budget, some of that money would be available in the formula for this agency and the central subway project. however, the governor vetoed the funding for anything that was not available for positive train control. working with bart and the assembly members office, we will use this as a vehicle. we have asked you to adopt the support position to give you maximum flexibility when we get moving in negotiations with the governor's office. the second bill is s.b. 582 on

page 22 of the matrix. it is a commuter benefit program, a program that was sponsored by mtc. it had a little rough sledding. it provides program guidance to transportation agencies and gives them some ability to adopt ordinances to enact commuter policies within their region. southern california got their back up and almost derailed the bill. they have been deleted from the bill, so it applies basically to everywhere in the state except for southern california. mtc has asked for a support position, and we've made the same recommendation here. we recommended adding one bill to the matrix to follow. it just came to light in the last two weeks. a proposal by caltrans on page

15. in essence, the state, as you get close to the middle of the third quarter of a fiscal year, the state transportation department has two challenges. one is are they spending all the federal aid in a timely manner? if not, they risk losing it. the other challenge is they watch the other states, and of other states fall through, historically, california has been there to pick up some of that federal aid and supplement projects with it. what caltrans is recommending in this bill, they're recommending that they be granted the authority to either spend some of the federal aid by loaning it to a prop 1b-funded project or in the converse, if some other states do cough up some of their obligational authority for federal aid that we are able to grab it by moving into a prop 1b

project when the allegation comes on at a later date, they be repaid, and the state would either have preserved their funding base or gained additional resources during that particular fiscal year. it is a smart idea. there are some wrinkles in it. mtc is studying closely. some of the agencies are worried about federal money because it does touch locally controlled federal money, too. we recommended watch, and will be working with the senate appropriations committee to tighten up the applicability. there are two bills. i tried to report on them each time i am here. the first is s.b. 223. this is the vlf catch-up bill. it has been amended to scope itself down to apply only to the city and county of san

francisco, so the availability up to the full prior to% is limited only to you, if the bill is signed. going forward, it requires a 2/3 vote of the board, the legislative body, and a majority vote of the people. i think he has format did it in a way to do two things -- one to meet the governors need to have a vote of the people on taxes, and second, to avoid having an overwhelming opposition. i know automobile manufacturers and some other tax groups have been opposed to it because a state wide applicability. supervisor mar: mr. watson, looks like it takes a 2/3 of the county transportation authority members and a majority vote of the ballot. >> the general fund purpose, so

it would be the county board of supervisors. in your role as supervisors, you would have that opportunity. >> what is the timing on that in your estimation at this point? >> he has met all the time lines and is in good shape. the legislature recesses' thursday until august 15. when they come back, he will have four weeks to get it out of the assembly. after that point, august 15 will be the -- not august 15, september 15 -- whatever the friday is closest to the 15th -- for legislative action, and the governor would have 30 days to act on it. the latest, probably the fail- safe way to look at it is mid- october. this could be enacted. supervisor mar: ok. please continue. >> a.b. 57 is what we watch

very carefully. the chairman of the transportation committee became a surprising ally to san francisco. he is very uncertain about the approach in the bill and convinced him to put the bill over to next year. i think the action on this bill, when the legislature reconvenes in january, our recommendation is to work diligently with mtc and try to come up with a structure that represents a true regional compromise rather than let the legislature back and around in sacramento. finally, last time i mentioned something like 20 high-speed rail authority bills. there are still several out there, but it has whittled down to two key bills. they both do relatively the same thing. the reorganized the high-speed rail authority function within state government.

the first is a.b. 145 found on page 3. we have a watch position on this one. it would create a department of high-speed trains and transfer the functions of the high-speed rail authority. it would retain authority for political guidance, said the structure would be similar in concept to caltrans and ctc. s.b. 517 by senator lowenthal, page 22 of the matrix, simply places the high-speed rail authority under the secretary of transportation and then in both cases, both bills, dissolves the authority board, requiring new appointments by the speaker pro tem and the governor, the governor appointees to be subject to senate confirmation, which they were not previously. in both cases, they require that the members have certain

expertise -- lock, financing, high-speed -- a list of expertise. my only political observation is the legislature is intent on reforming the authority. they will do one or the other of these or some combination of this. i'm not sure how it will turn out. he has taken ownership in my view of the project, and, you know, the focus in the administration to date has been on the budget, and they have not had a lot of time to analyze and spend time understanding the complexities of the issues swimming around. so it will be interesting to see how these bills fare when he gets a chance to take a look at them. if you want a brief report, there's a couple of activities in the state budget related to transportation. supervisor mar: yes, briefly.

>> the key thing accomplished was not in the june 29 budget bill. it took place earlier when we re-enacted the fuel tax swap and protected $2.5 billion. more recently, as the budget went through a couple of generations towards the end of june, there were a couple of highlights. first, the governor did sign the budget bill. that included total appropriations in excess of $3 billion. that is very important because the first step to putting an allocation on the project is you have to have the appropriation. the second step is you need assurance that you have a bond sale coming up. once you have that, the ctc can then make allocations. the first step has been accomplished by the governor proving that budget item. disappointing -- i alluded to this -- proposition 1a

connectivity. we work hard to put $264 million, which would have fully funded the amount needed in the fiscal year for connectivity funding, including the funding for central subway, but the governor took a page -- -- took a page from the prior governor and whittled that down, and it is only available for train control systems that improve the safety of commuter trains. last thing -- minor detail, but it will end up costing all the transportation agency's. project initiation document. those are important documents required by the ctc. customarily over the years, going back to the early 1900's,

the state took a position that was a partner with these folks, with the counties that are going to make investments on their system, and the state stepped up and funded this project initiation document. the governor says they can no longer afford that, so he has severed the reimbursable authority. as a result, project on the system that any local self-help entity is going to fund will require that entity to fund the initiation documents. with that, i will bring my presentation to a close. supervisor mar: thank you. ." >> i know that we are late, so i will be super brief on this. on a.b. 57, i had quite a bit of activity on this bill in sacramento, and they were coordinated with the mayor's

office and senator lyndon's office. the bottom line is we have communicated with the mayor's office about the need to take the bull by the horns and have this discussion about regional representation now, not as an emergency in january when the thing comes back up. my goal, and i think it is a shared goal with the mayor's office, is that we get to january with a solution that we can bring to the legislature. there is no question that there can be different ways to ensure good representation for everybody in the bay area. it does not have to be what mr. bill is proposing, but ignoring the issue is not productive to either, so we are going to have that discussion, and all of you in one capacity or another will be involved, especially those of you who are on regional entities at this point. it is an overdue discussion, and we are committed to having it and being as constructive as we

can so we can present a solution to the legislature. that is on that issue. the other thing i wanted to mention was there has been a flurry of activity at the federal level on the issue of the reauthorization of the six- year transportation act. and congressman mike, who is the chair of the house transportation infrastructure committee, is putting out full press court on the idea of a new bill, a new act, although we have not seen all the details. but let me tell you, i will reiterate my prediction that we are not going to have a surface transportation act approved by congress probably until after the presidential elections because the republican side of the aisle is not interested in any kind of new revenue generation for transportation infrastructure. what we are left with is a bill that would essentially provide less money than what we have

today. on top of that, laced with value judgments about many of the programs that were essentially multi modal gains that happened during the clinton administration and even during the first bush administration, related to things like bicycle facilities, transit and accessibility in general, those issues are now being described as hitchhikers to the original purpose of the highway trust fund, which is the main source of funding, and, of course, there is a great deal of disagreement on the democratic side of the aisle as to the appropriateness of that characterization and to the tendency to see only card- related improvements as improvements that are worthy of funding in a time of crisis. we think it is exactly the other way around. so it is a debate that is essentially breaking on

ideological lines. unfortunately, i do not think that that will lead to a compromise bill anytime soon. >> -- supervisor mar: mr. watts mentioned the disappointing budget news. was it the prop 1a connectivity funds, how it impacts the central subway? i'm just wondering what is the impact on our ability to fund the central subway. >> it is a statewide proposition, but the governor's action is simply to postpone the moment when that money would be available. fortunately, it will not have an immediate impact on the project as long as the money materializes next year. we understand that the governor's action has to do with rick compensations he is getting from the department of finance related to the state to actually issue that and so on. even though we think it is an unfortunate position, we understand that it is part of the circumstances the governor is dealing with as far as the state budget, and we expect that there will be a revisiting of

that topic and hopefully a better set of news next time around. for now, there is no change to the suggestion of the central subway funding plan. what we are looking at potentially is a cash flow issue. project will continue to be eligible and it will get the money. the question is when. supervisor mar: thank you. colleagues, no other questions? members of the public that would like to be heard? seeing none, we will close public comment. this is an information item only, i believe, so there is no action on this item. can we move this forward without objection? thank you. last item? >> item 7, investment report for the quarter ending june 30, 2011. this is an information item. >> thank you. deputy director for finance administration. this is your quarterly update of our investment report. typically, we bring this item with a quarterly accounting

report. since we are right here in right now, the entire city is closing its books, and we will have a final statement during the fall of 2011. as of june 30, the authority has $133.5 million in its various banking accounts. approximately 75% of those funds are with the city and county pool. the remaining 25% sits in four different operation accounts and in a money-market fund in deutsche bank. also in the month of june, we received our first two checks for our proposition aa funds. we opened a new account. we are currently at a balance of $240,000, and we hope that will reach up to the projected $5 million once we have a full cycle of the funding. in addition, the authority is in position where we have enough

funds to pay our debts over the next six months. we also are meeting all requirements of the government authority's investment policy. with that, again, this is an information item, but i'm more than happy to answer any of your questions. supervisor mar: seeing no questions, is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. could you please call the next item? >> item 8, introduction of new items. supervisor mar: there are no other items. is there anyone from the public would like to comment? public comment is closed. >> item 9, public comment. supervisor mar: and one from the public that would like to speak? public comment is closed. thank you, everyone, for being here. the meeting is adjourned.

>> reporting equipment in the room. would you please stand for pledge of alenalance. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic from which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> taking a roll call of commissioners. commission president thomas mazzucco. >> present. >> dr. joe marshall? >> here. >> petra dejesus? >> she's en route. >> commissioner angela chan? >> present. >> commissioner carol kingsley? >> present. >> commissioner james

slaughter? >> here. >> commissioner julius turman? >> here. >> we have a quorum of commissioners and also joyce hicks of the office of citizens complaints and the chief of police. >> thank you, lieutenant falvey. welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the july 13, 2011 police commission hearing. ladies and gentlemen, tonight is what we call our discipline night so we have some closed matters, disciplinary hearings which by law have to be held in closed session so we have a very light agenda before that so we now move to line item number one which is general public comment. >> item number one, general public comment. the public is now welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on tonight's agenda but that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. speakers shall address their remarks to the commission as a whole and not individual commissioners or department or o.c.c. personnel. under police commission rules of order, during public comment, neither police or o.c.c. personnel or commissioners are required to respond to questions presented

rave which happened on sunday afternoon. the officers whose noses weren't as acute as mine, once i pointed out as i was dancing around with these children who had taken part and their parents had no ideas what their daughters weren't wearing. i was a guidance counselor, junior high and high school, i used to chaperon the dances and they're rocking out and drinking and smoking and i found police officers and i said just take care of it because these kids shouldn't be doing that. my main concern was that there were so many young people crowded into one very, very small space. i was very concerned about that. i got the littler ones back towards me. i had a parasol. they wanted the instant shade and i said come on, dance by me and if it gets too scary, walk out of here. and the way the officers

handled it was lovely. next year, work out some sort of crowd control plan because that scared me and i'm not afraid of no nothing. second commendation. i want to thank my boys down at southern station for those extra passing calls and it's lovely and those bicycle nazis carrying drugs, riding their bicycles on the sidewalks. thank you. and basically speaking, i say yes, sir, because you commissioners did right in your choice. joyce, i want to commend you and keep up the good work. you guys, you're a good-looking group. >> jakkie, come back any time you want. >> thank you. i shall. wait a second. i have 31 more seconds. a shout out to david lazard. let me tell you what jerry did. he figured out -- one of my

favorite genini's, you need the door unlocked to tenderloin station because it's the only safe public phone. also, he managed, jerry just did it. and joe garrity, wow. john veranda is still the cutest guy on the department. ok. thank you. now i better get my butt home. thank you. >> good evening, sir, how are you? >> good evening, commissioners, mr. harrison. i'm here to speak on behalf of my brothers children who cannot right now speak for themselves. once again, my brother charles harrison was murdered january 2011 of this year. his murderer is still unsolved. we have not been contacted in the last month as to an update to where the case is, so if

somebody can get in contact with us to let us know, i just wanted to say that you notice the streets of san francisco are not safe as long as a man can open fire and gun somebody down, not in broad daylight at night but on video and the incident is caught on video. so we are planning businesses in san francisco. we're planning boating events in san francisco, but the people who were asking to come to san francisco and patronize san francisco are not safe, as long as you have people that will brazenly gun down people and take their lives. so i'm not going to be long. i just wanted to come and just keep, you know, this out there that the person that murdered my brother is still out there and i just need an update to know where we're at, what are we doing? is the case cold? what's happening?

so that's basically what i wanted to say. thank you for allowing me to come before you. >> mr. harrison, i think the chief has something for you. thank you, sir. next speaker. >> good evening, commission. commissioners. my name is doherty peterson and i need some information. over two years ago there was a murder in our development. i'm one of the early risers, 5:30, had a cup of coffee about 6:00, saw the usual people going to work, about a couple hours later, i heard what i thought was firecrackers, didn't think anything of it until i heard all the drama, sirens, etc., etc., on my street. that's when i looked out the window. it was under control, went back to doing my dishes and cleaning my house. about three days later, insp
