sley: if you can continue to convey the commission's concern to the three officers and that we are pleased to hear that they are progressing well and recovering their health. i also wanted to just acknowledge how terrific it is that the occupied san francisco -- occupy 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.

>> you can see that it is amazing. you can hear that it is refreshing. you reach for it because it is irresistible. and the taste. simply delicious. san francisco tap water. it engages the senses. 311 is an important resource for all san franciscans. should supervisor avalos: good morning, and welcome to the city operations and neighborhood services committee. my name is supervisor mar avalos, the chair. i am joined by supervisor elsbernd. we will be joined shortly by supervisor mar.

the committee clerk is ms. gail johnson. >> all persons attending this meeting are requested to turn off all cell phones and pagers. if you submit copies of materials to the members of the committee, please submit an extra copy to the file. if you wish to hand in speaker cards, please put them in the container by the rail in front of you, to your left. supervisor avalos: ok, thank you. please call the first item. >> hearing on the city's response to the surge in homelessness, and families and for various city agencies, including the her -- human services agency in the housing authority to outline the response to the crisis, including any plans to expand the rental subsidy programs, and he plans to address the loss in federal homeless prevention and rapid re-housing funds, any plans to increase, is prevention efforts, any plans to expedite the filling a vacant san francisco housing authority

units, and moving homeless families into them, and ways we can protect households from for closure evictions. supervisor avalos: thank you, madam clerk. i call this hearing just last week, but it is an issue that has been on my mind for a number of months, especially with the advocacy of the coalition on homelessness, and a lot of the families are related to the coalition, and they work with a lot of homeless families. it was first brought to my attention about our crisis in a sheltering in providing housing for families in san francisco probably at the end of september, beginning of october. in fact, while i was out in my extracurricular activities over the past seven months, at the interfaith breakfast in october, a lot of the focus was on homelessness in san francisco, and a lot of people who work at
