san francisco is holding. we are not having the problems that other cities are seeing, and this deserves a lot of credit to date. i just wanted to thank you it seems like the city is working on this well. the civil grand jury report, can you tell us more about that, because i am not familiar with the departments.

if you could fill us in more? >> they will decide who they will interview, and for whatever reason, they decided they would talk about this. at any rate, they wanted to know about our grant. they wanted to know personnel questions, how comstat warrant. there was a good presentation.

commissioner kingsley: thank you. president mazzucco: commissioner chan? commissioner chan: our regards to the officers. i wanted to ask about occupy, if we are involved in oakland or if there are any plans. i am wondering if we do have an agreement with oakland it

caribbean issue there. >> we have not applied and eight -- deployed and officers to oakland. we would support an agreement. commissioner chan: thank you. president mazzucco: thank you, commissioner, chief. we will move on. >> the occ -- out about the officers involved in the accident, and we, too, express our concerns.

while it is not appropriate for me to provide detailed reports on pending investigations, it is good for us to provide you with information. i have a more accurate count. what we have included today are first amendment rights. these are all allegations, as opposed to any one proven.

unnecessary force and conduct reflecting discredits, inappropriate comments. president mazzucco: item 3 c. secretary falvey: item number 3c, commission reports. president mazzucco: thank you.

i was not as busy as the chief. they're very happy with the captain. i would like to see more. this is so important to build a facility where we feel comfortable. this requires highly trained officers and i just want to congratulate you for doing this. this is something that has been

a long time coming. thank you very much. that was excellent. on thursday, i attended with the director of the government oversight committee, and director hicks did incredibly well. this requires money and budget. she made that clear to members. thank you for the presentation, and that was my week. commissioners, anything you would like to add? commissioner kingsley: the only

thing i attended was a heritage celebration. this was an artistic celebration, singing and dance, singing and musical production, i would like to apologize for putting that on the calendar and not going forward with it. i would like to get a little more input and present it to you at a later date. so i just wanted to give you a heads up on that.

>> much like the process i went through with the lieutenant falvey and the chief and learned. i had the opportunity -- i would like to thank them for the presentation.

all of the detail that you and your office put into, looking into those concerns, thank you very much. it makes me feel that i am here for a very specific purpose. i am glad we had the opportunity to work with you and the cheap and the lieutenant as well on these issues. thank you. >> commissioner, you are welcome. president mazzucco: dr. marshall? vice president marshall: representing, there is a group in district 10. i guess they opened a new hamburger joint. >> purnell -- pearls. vice president marshall: this is

a baby program? i know everyone is excited about it. >> right, so last year, there was the situation where mrs. chan was thrown from the platform at third, and they are outfitted in these very, very sharp jackets. otherwise, there is a variety of language skills. very, very critical to the effort to combat neighborhood

after that situation, so additional funding has been appropriated. i believe it is from 10 in the morning until 8:00 that night. these are the hours that they are going to work there. i believe it was a thin market. -- was fifth and market. vice president marshall: we will see what happens. >> it was great for us. it is great to have them as partners.

president mazzucco: anything further? please call item d. secretary falvey: item number d, commission announcements and scheduling of items. president mazzucco: do you have anything? secretary falvey: no. president mazzucco: we were at over 70 cases, and now we are in the teens. during the hearings, we take this role very seriously, but i really want to commend the commission. this was a very, very drastic situation, and it is a more than manageable situation, so we want to thank you for that. we are down to 16 cases.

thank you. commissioners? commissioner chan? vice president marshawn: -- marshall: people did not think we could do that. >> i apologize. this cheap has made it clear. he has gone and told the officers. the message is clear. if you have made a mistake and are having a tough time, this commission will work with you, but if you lie, you will be gone, and that is pretty clear. commissioner chan: i wanted to ask about language access. i thought we had scheduled it for another week, but i cannot find it. i know the occ has been

involved, so if the occ would like to co-present, i would welcome that. we had asked for an update on where they are, what they have implemented. president mazzucco: commissioner slaughter? commissioner slaughter: thank you, president mazzucco. this goes into your priorities matrix, to speak. the idea that we as a commission ought to consider how often we need to meet, a big part of why

we regularly meet is to handle what had been a very serious disciplinary caseload. they could be meeting rather than four times a month. i think it is something we ought to consider as a group. i think there was a reason why we were meeting every week, and i think having a little more time would provide some thoughtful meetings.

president mazzucco: commissioner? commissioner turman: they have reported on things tonight, and it is not the we are by any means -- i think it is about time allocation. president mazzucco: commissioner kingsley? commissioner kingsley: i think

that should be part of the discussion, both of them together. what we are trying to do is get our arms around what are the fixed obligations of the commission and putting that into our schedule as well as the variable. i put mine on that. president mazzucco: any comment on these items? >> i have something to do about those cleaning up the backlog, and jim hammer who sat right there. these people were frontline. jim hamer was the one. if you remember, mr. president, he had the one to streamline it. these people are not here now. they moved onto other things, but they deserve some credit, as

well. president mazzucco: i agree? any public comment on any of these line items? i bet you want to talk about patrol specials? ok. >> i just want to follow up with some items with chief suhr. >> i talked with you the day after i was arrested. again. it turned out to be a false arrest. you have now had over 60 weeks.

criminal acts that they have perpetrated. this is what i was told. as a humanitarian gesture, police force him, this man who works for an illegally operated beach, -- beat, as the attorney porter mentioned. it has been shown that he will violate the law. the entire beat has been

illegally operated. we are not sure for how long but for some time. apparently the only people who can stop him, we need to be stopped. i should not be arrested. i am an innocent person. this is the third time they have done this to me. this is the first time they have absolutely no made up evidence to use as a cause, so they had to let me go. it took $50,000 of my money, soon to be your money, city of san francisco, but a long story short, you have had weeks to consider this. i have seen you do nothing. i should take that back. they are marching a little more tightly, but they are still committing crimes. please do your duty. thank you. president mazzucco: next speaker. with reference to a, b, c, and

d. >> public comments on item number two? would you make a special exception? occupy sf. let me fourth say that i am the council for -- let me say first that i am council for -- counsel for occupy sf. there was a problem with unilateral initiative by police officers. we were told at that time with his last comment that he was the one you gave the orders, and

there would be no unilateral -- by the police force. that we would be given notice and a chance to cure any default or any problem that there was. i know that the police chief, greg suhr, were not there. two officers took down a tent. one officer did not know who her supervisor was. when her partner came up, saying things like, "i hope i am not causing a problem drinking a starbucks coffee year because it was a corporation," he did know who the supervisor was. a lieutenant has on its own initiative done this more than once. today's breaking of the agreement to work together should be addressed by this august commission, and i hope

that you will take appropriate steps immediately. thank you. president mazzucco: thank you. any further public comment on line items 3 a, b, c, and d? seeing none, item number four. secretary falvey: public comment on the minot -- items in a closed session. president mazzucco: today we are discussing an item that is confidential. there will be no comment on that. secretary

secretary falvey: ok, we are back from a closed session. these are the members we have. president mazzucco: do i have a motion to disclose? any comment? next item. secretary falvey: the next item is adjournment. president mazzucco: all in favor? adjourned.

>> i have been a cable car grip for 21 years. i am a third generation. my grand farther and my dad worked over in green division for 27. i guess you could say it's blood. >> come on in. have a seat. hold on. i like it because i am standing up. i am outside without a roof over my head and i see all kinds of people. >> you catch up to people you know from the past. you know. went to school with. people that you work with at other jobs. military or something.

kind of weird. it's a small word, you be. like i said, what do people do when they come to san francisco? they ride a cable car. >> california line starts in the financial district. people are coming down knobbhill. the cable car picks people up. takes them to work. >> there still is no other device to conquer these hills better than a cable car. nobody wanted to live up here because you had to climb up here. with the invention of the cable car, these hills became accessible. he watched horses be dragged to

death. cable cars were invent in san francisco to solve the problem with it's unique, vertically challenged terrain. we are still using cars a century old >> the old cable car is the most unique thing, it's still going. it was a good design by then and is still now. if we don't do something now. it's going to be worse later. >> the cable cars are built the same as they were in the late 1800's. we use a modern machinery. we haven't changed a thing. it's just how we get there. >> it's a time consuming job. we go for the quality rather than the production. we take pride in our work and it shows in the end product.

>> the california line is mostly locals. the commuters in the morning, i see a lot of the same people. we don't have as tourists. we are coming up to street to chinatown. since 1957, we are the only city in the world that runs cable cars. these cars right here are
