list of grievances that we're hearing for the first time. with that -- >> could you tell me who in the leather community is dealing with this historic district? >> i do not believe it is in the leather community. from the planning commission or from the planning department, there was paul lord and jim meko was the other name. commissioner joseph: anybody from the greater leather community that has been talk to about anything? i have heard nothing about that community being approached for its ideas and its historical value. >> that is not necessarily the

closing argument from the attorneys. from the mayor's side, have you decided whether -- how much you want to use up front, and how much you want to use, if any, in rebuttal? >> 40 minutes of fraud, five minutes for rebuttal. the cracks during the courses -- the course of this, i suspect that kñpáájuárjááhu)s& have questions for you. expect to be interrupted. this is obviously for usb we can get a good handle on where your positions are and how we can get a handle on that. after that, we would like to take public comment on this agenda item. public comment will be strictly limited to two minutes per person. i know their work -- are a lot

of people who would like to give public, and and we look forward to those comments, but because of the volume, we are going to limit it to two minutes and i will instruct the staff to turn off the microphone after two minutes. you will get a warning beep that will give you 30 more seconds to wrap up your comments. after that, i intend to take a lunch break, following which, we will deliberate. the commission will address the factual and legal issues that have been put before us, and hopefully, we will come out with a recommendation for the board at the conclusion of today. in addition to the oral findings, we should discuss whether we want to have some written findings.

i think one idea is for the attorney for the commission, mr. m village -- mr. emblidge, to write our findings for the day. and then for us to be there adopt a summary in advance, or to meet again to officially adopt the summary of our oral findings today. but i would expect any right up would merely be a summary of what we have already found, not in the new bases for our findings. those are the things i hope to address. before we start with attorney argument, let me take the role commissioner said the. commissioner of view. commissioner hayon. commissioner rennie.

all commissioners are here. let's begin with the mayor. >> good morning, commissioners. i have prepared a closing argument in anticipation of not being interrupted, by understanding this change. we have a compressed amount of time. i will do my best to cover the main points and answer your questions as well. let me proceed. on march 19th, 2012, the city and county of san francisco and the sheriff's department faced an intolerable situation. its share of mercury had just been correct -- convicted of a crime and had just been sentenced to three years of preparation out of his four-year term in office. he was convicted of a fine -- a

crime of false imprisonment what at the same time having the duty to lawfully imprisoned the prisoners at the county jail. moreover, it was a crime of domestic violence. it was a crime involving the relationship of trust in a marital relationship. any crime involving the violation of trust raises questions about whether an individual can carry out the trust that comes to public office. faced with these facts, the mayor acted. the mayor asked the sheriff to resign. he did not. the mayor there for filed these charges. but that ultimately brought us to today. under the law before the commission, the official misconduct in our charter -- provision in our charter, and the case law in california supreme court, you have heard similar provisions under state law and under the evidence presented to this commission,

under the common sense and wisdom of the commissioners and for what is right, not for the share suburban and for our city, -- for the shares department and for our city, we ask you to sustain these charges. the commission has received a great deal of evidence in this case. most of it has come from the mayor and has been unchallenged. the mayor presented nine witnesses to witness and britain have to marry. the sheriff -- through written testimony and witnesses. the sheriff has only chosen to cross-examine two of them. the facts are not difficult to understand in this case. i will go over them in a moment. but first, i want to address the law that the commission is going to have to apply and address to have to apply and address specific questions that the
