thank you. i read the article in the police officers association newspaper and it describes about everything we read about and everything you have been talking about. it is why this condition -- commission had concerns about middle health issues and i want to give him credit for coming forward with that. he explained why he retired and what he was going through. he went through a lot in his career. he is a very hard-working police officer. for him to share that was exceptional. the commissioners had received some e-mails. he mentioned you and your hard work. thank you. commissioners? >> i will ask my question. i wanted to -- thank you for your presentation and for coming here and i appreciate that you are responses -- responsive to

was prioritizing this issue. i wanted to ask about the survey of officers that was done and last time we asked, you were part way through. are you at a point where you have results you can share? >> we have extended the deadline because we're still getting responses. i would say we could tell yet up in two weeks. >> ok. in terms of the time to come back, my suggestion would be in one month. does that sound reasonable? one month to come back here so it is october 12 -- november 9 to come back and see where we are. my initial thought is to turn this into a department general order. that is my thought since we were prioritizing this and it would be great to have it set to what kind of services officers are provided with. i am open and flexible to other ideas. also what form this should take place. i am happy to hear.

>> rather than create a new general order, it would turn into the existing general order. that would be an amendment. that is fine. commissioner chan: thank you. president mazzucco: thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> for the chief's report, reporting on the crime picture in san francisco, violent crime is down 6%. property crime is relatively flat. we enjoyed a reduction of violent crime of 13% and a property crime of 36% over the last few weeks due to measures put in place after we had an uptick. i no arrests have been up dramatically. we have had approximately 15 homicides in the last three months and we have cleared almost two-thirds of those which

is an outstanding clearance rate. sending a clear message that you do a homicide in san francisco, you will not only be arrested, but you will be prosecuted. the d.a.'s office is proceeding on this. last weekend was fleet week in san francisco. there were more advanced than i can tell you. there were 9000 naval marines and coast guard personnel in the city. i got no calls, which was fantastic. they were -- it was a privilege to host them, the blue angels put on a great show on saturday, a low ceiling prevented much of a show on sunday. the italian heritage parade on sunday was as crowded as it has ever been. it went without incident. the weather cooperated. we had a pretty good weekend in the city. we have had another action going

on in the city over the last 10 days called occupy san francisco. i met with commissioner chan, commissioner term andanan, supervisors of and kim, and lawyers guild and to members of the assembled. they in no way represent the group. everyone i have been in contact with has said. it was a productive meeting. they asked for written guidelines and a letter to be prepared. i am passing that around now. that went out as we went in last wednesday evening after eight hours of our reach, after being informed by the fire department there was a hazard in that there was a lot of wood in the encampment as well as public health concerns such as buckets

that contained human feces and a bottle with tehran and the like. there were no sanitation and there were open flames in cooking. fearing for public safety, the officers went in after eight hours of our reach and extracted the flammable, the fuel, there was a dedication of property that later on folks went and reclaimed the next day. there was only one arrest, that was for battery on a police officer. one demonstrator punch one of the officers during the process of the trucks leaving the area. demonstrators moved into the street and laid in front of the trucks. largely, it was very peaceful. we have had an ongoing dialogue for this collection. there was a march today that started at 715 from the 100

block of market street. there were 12 arrests but they were prior agreement. folks either blocked wells fargo or laid down in front of cable cars. they were contacted by the officers and it was determined they wanted to be arrested and they were arrested on their terms by mutual agreement. we will continue to engage the demonstrators. obviously, it is a very national movement. i do not think -- is not lost on everybody that there is a basis for how everyone is feeling. the officers are sensitive to that and the commission is sensitive to that. there was a meeting this afternoon with mayor lee and supervisor kim, among others. it was determined the city will do what they can to provide basic sanitation on a daily basis to the site and we will go

forward working with those assembled again. it is a bit of a tough discussions since there is no leader. it is an eclectic group with varying messages, but we're doing the best we can. if you look at what is going on around the rest of the country, we are having as much success as anyone at the time. i can take any questions you have. that would conclude the teacher poor. president mazzucco: thank you. i want to thank commissioners chan and terman. i watched the protest and your officers were perfectly professional as were the protesters. there were no issues i saw. everything was going smoothly. the officers were dressed in their normal uniform. you're right. it was -- the trucks were driving, ups trucks, people with

suits and ties honking for the protesters. it was a very peaceful protest and thank you for your efforts in facilitating that. it was very professional and something to be proud of. i want to thank the commissioners for participating. i was not able to make that meeting. mutual agreement arrests, arrests on your terms -- on their terms. only in san francisco. i am glad it worked out, so thank you. >> thank you for that meeting. i appreciate you taking the time to meet with us at a time when you're officers are stretched thin dealing with a national movement. i think when you are talking with the protesters and the supervisors, you showed your ability to understand this issue and you have been a longtime champion of officers dealing with protesters in the most appropriate way possible so i appreciate that leadership. i sent out the minutes for the meeting after you issued this so

your quick. i did not get a chance to check it off and i did convey to you i was concerned about last wednesday night and the police department response. there were nine truckloads of things taken away and i was concerned about the videos i have seen on line of the events that took place last night. from my understanding from the protesters, things have calmed down. and the relationship has been better and it looks like today with the voluntary arrests, it is getting better. it is great that the mayor's office, yourself, and the supervisors are thinking about this long term because if you go on the website, they have a calendar doubt. they intend to continue this movement and build it. there is an occupied oakland and san jose. it is a movement and it is important that san francisco respect that ligh. thank you.

>> a review of recent activities and the statistical report in comparison with previous supports -- reports. >> good evening, director. how are you? >> i am fine, thank you. you have before you the occ complete statistics through september 30. you also have pending case reports for the same time; -- the same time. 65 complaints were filed and through september 30, 2011, 622 complaints were filed year to date. that is a 6% decrease from last year's complaints as of september 30. as of september 30, 2011, we

closed 618 cases. we had 430 pending cases. we sustained 52 cases which is an 8% rate. as of september 30, we conducted 45 mediations. 7% of the cases were) we did so through mediation. at this time last year, we mediated 41 cases which was a 6% mediation rate. on november 9, i will provide you with the occ third quarter statistical report. that concludes my report for this evening. president mazzucco: any questions for the director? next item. >> item 2c, the president's report and commissioner's report. president mazzucco: i have

nothing to report. >> i attended the asian poa dinner. lots of scalera ships were handed out. it was a good night. president mazzucco: next item. >> commissioner announcement and schedules. president mazzucco: any announcements to need to make? >> we will go dark on october 26. no meeting that night. >president mazzucco: great. >> we received a letter regarding some of the issues. i understand we have a committee set up, that was commissioner slaughter -- terman to look into this.

i was wondering if we could talk about where you are and let us know if it is going on the calendar and if so, when? >> i can say that we have been meeting with the aclu and meeting with the asian law caucus. we have had several meetings. we are continuing to meet with them but at this point and has gone from -- we are going through a lot of what of scenarios and we're trying to work with the aclu. we will continue the dialogue with him. we have had this on our agenda more than once, including the human rights joint meeting. it is not something that will happen overnight. i think that we have answered almost every question they have had and we're moving to new scenarios. we have a bureau order which is more comprehensive than anything we have seen. it is a work in progress. can we put the date on it? that is up to commissioner

slaughter. commissioner slaughter: we have been in contact and we will be getting together. we will make a plan about what, if any unanswered questions remain to be looked into. and have committed to one another to bring it back before the commission for discussion. we had a lengthy meeting about this last week. there deserves to be a discussion about it and we will. we need to do our work first. we will and we have committed to get it back to the commission and we will do that, too. when that is going to happen, i cannot say. it could be next week or the week after, early november. i do not know. we will get it back as expeditiously as we can. i would reiterate what

commissioner mazzucco said. we require our officers to comply with 810. we have a commitment in writing from the fbi that says any member of the police department that is assigned to jttf can while abiding by policies and orders. there has been suggestion to the contrary. i do not think that is a fair suggestion. it does not mean it is not an important issue for us to discuss. we will as a commission. there is no commitment from the fbi that our officers are and continue to be governed by the department of general orders is not accurate. we will do the work as many subcommittees do and we will bring it back to the commission

for discussion when we are ready. thank you. commissioner kingsley: when do we have our next khomeni meeting schedule? when and where? >> we have not picked a date. we're looking toward the end of november. it might be november 30. we have to coordinate that. commissioner kingsley: what are the thoughts on where that would be? >> either the central or southern station. commissioner kingsley: thank you. one item that i would like to put on the agenda. commissioner terman and i would like to put on the november 2 agenda. we are targeting to distribute the draft resolution that we have been working on with the city attorney and various other folks regarding our priorities but more specifically, it is going to be someone as ms.

porter has described it aptly, a kind of road map which this resolution will bring together. the duties of the commission that arise out of the charter, the administrative code, the police commission rules and regulations, as well as the other resolutions that the commission has passed in former years, bringing it all together in one document and mapping that out so when we are deciding on priorities and when to schedule them, they are a backdrop to all these other duties and responsibilities we have. we would like to get the input of the full commission before moving ahead with more detail. the draft of that we propose to have to you before november 2 to

discuss at the november 2 meeting. president mazzucco: we're back to what to entitled this document. you are working on our list of priorities. this backdrop of the rules and procedures and charter and all that, i think those are divens that we understand and we know what our role is and we know we need to do. the ultimate issue is, what are our priorities? it is a moving target because it changes frequently. i am not sure about the second half of what you're asking for. commissioner dejesus: i have not been here but i am not sure what you're asking for. i am not sure when we will get it. commissioner kingsley: can we put this on the agenda for november 2? we can entitle it what we want to and do with it what we want. >> we will look at the draft. thank you. commissioner chan: i wanted to

put back on our calendar language access. we have it scheduled and it got moved. if we can have it on november 9, i want to see if that is ok with a calendar. a one to be specific about what i mean by this. prior to me being on the commission, the commission received annual report backs on language access. how often language access has been used. i remember going to the chinatown community meeting and there was a report. with our language access, department general order, where are we in terms of implementation? what is yet in progress and how often are the services used? what are the additional needs the department might have to keep in mind, those of the kinds

of questions i have. does that make sense? president mazzucco: is that it for our agenda? >commissioner dejesus: i talked to commissioner mazzucco. he is also on the committee. we will discuss whether or not i would like him to get on the commission. -- khomeni. president mazzucco: we had a closed session item regarding potential litigation. i would like to calendar in the near future our review as to whether or not the police commission should supervise and- or authorize assistance and that was discussed. i would put that on the next three or four weeks. how does that look for the second week of november? we just put something on.

let's do it the 16th? november 16. >> is open right now. -- it is open right now. president mazzucco: anything further? public comment regarding these items? seeing none, public comment is closed. item three. >> public comment on all matters pertaining to item 5. closed session for disciplinary cases. president mazzucco: any public comment regarding matters of close session. a motion?

thank you. we are heading i

>> is housed in a spectacular building described by the world renowned architect. it is the san francisco destination for provocative expositions and programs that explore culture, history, art, and ideas. the director of cultural affairs told us more about the mission and to give us a tour of the latest exposition. ♪ >> today we find ourselves of the contemporary jewish museum. with me is the director of the museum. >> i am so happy you are here today. >> we're getting close to a

milestone for the museum. it is your third anniversary coming up. >> it is. you were here to help cut the ribbon. it has been an extraordinary journey ever since. we welcome hundreds of thousands of people into the building. we welcome school groups, interests -- tourists. >> the addition of the museum to the cultural pantheons of san francisco has been phenomenon. you have fabulous exhibits. there is one i want to talk about, "seeing gertrude stein." >> gertrude stein is a local woman. she was raised in oakland. she was an extraordinary individual who helped create -- many people call for the mother of modernism. years ago, i was introduced to someone doing research on her. i thought it would be an extraordinary exposition to take

her and understand her at all for complexity. that is what we have on view during the summer of 2011. >> it is full of wonderful drawings, paintings, and sculpture. >> there is incredible art on view. we have photographs. we have sculpture. we have a lot of different things. we have a little something made for her by picasso. there are five different ways of looking at her life. it is not in chronological installation. it is looking at how she is portrayed in help artists, painters, and photographers presented her and how she thought about her own style and presentation. many people think she always had

short hair. it was not until she was 52 that she cut off all of her hair. the second element is called "domestic stein." alice b. toklas was her lifelong partner. they had several different homes. we know about their home in paris, the famous salon. you get a taste of what their domestic life was like. >> one thing recreated is the fabulous wallpaper. the black-and-white photos do not convey the color. >> in doing a lot of research, you discover a little tidbits. with an exhibition, at the find ways to make it come together. we found beautiful photographs of the interior of their home. then we found a tiny scrap of the wallpaper. we saw how blue and vibrant it

was. we had a designer recreate the image of the wallpaper. we had it made into wallpaper so we could all experience what it would have been like to be in their home. it is dynamic and fantastic. they seem very monochromatic because you only know them through black-and-white photographs, but they had such a vibrant life. that is what the exhibition is also trying to show. the third one is the art of friendship. picasso and matisse were part of their second family. there were people she admired and worked with. we introduced the visitors to her second family in a sense. the fourth story is called celebrity stein. what a lot of people do not know is when she left united

states in the early 1900's, she only came back once in 1934. we also have a section of every single first edition book she ever published. >> it is incredible to see all the first edition books. >> it is really impressive to realize not only was she a grand dame of paris, but she had an incredible writing practice. she was a prolific writer. the fifth level really looks at her legacy and how artists continue to be inspired by her image, work, and concept. >> this is a compelling reason for people to visit the jewish museum. you also have life and theater. >> we are a non-
