issues, where one would seek an defender in the navy, which means i defended service members who were accused of

bringing my wealth of knowledge to advise the mayor, help with programs, solutions, to identify and treat those uniquenqñ?ñ? conditions that are only to service members due to their military service. so i'm very passionate about this. i'm still a reservist. i've been attending the meetings and it's definitely something i think cries out for a solution and i would very much like to be a part of that. >> chair kim: thank you. it's my understanding you have attended many if not all of the veteran affair commission meetings. >> since i've moved here to san francisco two years ago, i've attended[çh"] many. i haven't had a perfect attendance record but yet. >> chair kim: thank you for your commitment and dedication already. seeing no questions from members, we have entertained a motion to continue this to the call of the chair. do we have a motion to continue to the call of the chair?

>> so moved. without opposition. thank you for making it here. we will hear this item again and make our final determination on? the applicants that we move forward but we were happy to hear you tad. >> thankxmñ?ñ you. you. >> chair kim: madam clerk,rv items? >> linda wong: no, madam chair. meeting is adjourned. thank you. w"o5vñ >> a lot a ton with the

community and we say to ourselves, there is this one and this one. we all compartmentalize them, we have our own agenda. our agenda is to create great work. if you are interested in that, you are part of our community. >> hello and welcome to brava theater. >> we are trying to figure out a way to make a space where theater and presentation of live work is something that you think of the same way that you think of going to the movies. of course, it has been complex in terms of economics, as it is for everyone now. artistically, we have done over 35 projects in four seasons, from producing dance, theater, presenting music, having a full- scale education program, and having more than 50,000 visitors

in the building almost every year. a lot of our emerging artists to generate their first projects here, which is great. then we continue to try to support figuring out where those works can go. we have been blessed to have that work produced in new york, going on to the edinburgh festival, the warsaw theater festival. to me, those are great things when you can watch artists who think there is nowhere else that might be interested in you being a woman of color and telling your story and then getting excited about it. that is our biggest accomplishment. having artists have become better artists. what is. sheri coming back to brava, here you have this establish, amazing writer who has won a clue -- slew of awards. now she gets to director and

work. even though she is this amazing, established writer, the truth is, she is being nurtured as a director and is being given some space to direct. >> the play is described as ceremony and -- where ceremony and theater me. in the indigenous tradition, when you turn 52, it is like the completion of an important era. the importance of the ceremony is to say, you are 52. whenever you have been caring for the first 52 years, it is time to let it go. really, here, they have given me carte blanche to do this. i think it is nice for me, in the sense of coming back 25 years later and seeing personally my own evolution as an artist and thinker.

the whole effort to put the chicano or indigenous woman's experience on center stage is, in itself, for euro-american theaters, a radical position. because of the state of theater, it is a hard roll to hold up in institution. it is a hard road. i am looking at where we are 25 years later in the bay area, looking at how hard it is for us to strive to keep our theater is going, etc. i like to think that i'm not struggling quite as hard, personally, but what i mean by that, the intention, the commitment. particularly, to produce works that would not be produced in other places, and also to really nurture women of color artists. i think that is something that has not shifted for me in those 25 years, and it is good to see that brava remains committed to

that kind of work. ♪ >> when people talk about the reflection of the community, we can only go from what we have on our staff. we have a south asian managing director, south african artistic director, latino community out rich person. aside from the staff, the other people, artists that we work with being a reflection of us, yes, the community is changing, but brava has always tried to be ahead of that trend. when i came in, i tried to make it about the work that shows the eclectic mission district, as well as serving the mission. those are the types of things that i feel build one brava is

that i feel build one brava is to call roll. jrstv)ját)n)ng commissioner kingsley, present. commissioner turman,/?5)qzg] he. with have the cheese of police ms. joyce -- >> welcome to the wednesday, scheduled san francisco police commission meeting. with matters involving patrol specials, and we have some closed session matters involving discipline. without further ado call line item 1, theç concept calendar. >> received and file action.

order, during public comment, neither police or occ personnel nor commissioners are required to respond to questions presented bywsno#:%roku! the py provide a brief response. ák police personnel should refrain comment. please limit your comments to three minutes. >> president mazzucco: please come forward. >> hello. your timer needs toúzfím5dñ sta. thank you. hello. my name is michael -- a gay and aids activist, also involved in transparency issues. and i was just down the hallway at the sunshine ordinance task force. has to do with very deep concerns i haveç regarding the mission station, specifically

limberg. 9 am, these two officers of the force were in attendance at the merchants of upper market castro. they frequently are at the meetings of muncie so it wasn't that unusual to see them at this meeting. however, unlike previous meetings, chuck limberg was not wearing a badge. he was in plain street clothes and came over to me and other members of the public, as we came into the room, andç said that he was not on duty, and was helping mumsy with security issues, and he then directed members of the public where to sit during the meeting. two very controversial issues were on the agenda, which is why there were a number of members of the public at this meeting. and one of them had to do with

nudity, the other controversial item had to do with the control of the rainbow flag at milk plaza, two very contentious issues in the castro. when these issues came up for a vote, members of mumsy, chuck limberg came to members of the public and told us we had to leave. he was enforcing rules for mumsy. he said he was off duty however every other meeting i've been to, he's been in uniform, he's been on duty. i need verification that hehlgk meeting, carrying out these duties. the other thing is i am very@$gt are also seven uniform beat patrol officers on the sidewalk, outside of this meeting. why were so many of them there? we need some answers. why? because a number of us are really concerned at the

impression that the mission station police force is more favorable towards the merchants than towards activists. i think you've got to be very concerned about any appearance of favoritism toward one constituency in any community, months and months of meeting in uniform and then seen at that same group's meeting in plain clothes, it's raising questions. you. -- >> supervisor chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> i would like to concur with you because i wasn't happy with that officer's -- either. i work for the sunday chronicle. there was an incident involving prostitution and gays. and when he was asked by the -- i think it's a bay area reporter about a specific case, no comment.

no comment is the worst thing you can say in the public. because automatically, people are going to assume you're hiding something. i agree with you, sir. also, i'd like to move forward. i would like to complement you. your investigation into an officer related shooting -- andñ yes i rose up here -- i don't think it's in geary's district you were candid, honest, and forthright. that offiòñ?ñ?ñr got -- hey, the master key let the guy in, didn't knock. come on, i live in a sro on 6th street. so what. i don't have the same right as thomas, wherever he lives. i don't think thomas would like someone walk into his house, use correct. i'm sure the guy reacted wrong. but on the other hand the officer had not, san francisco

police, things might have turned out different, may have turned out different, we don't know. but thank you for your great work, ms. hicks. i want to complement a new york cop. i got an e-mail a couple of days ago. this officer was off duty with his girlfriend. he sees a man get robbed. he steps out, pulls his badge out, hey, i'm new york police, i'm new york police. the kid shot the cop, shot him right in the chest. he runs back to the$qñ?ñ? car, s bleeding. he gets in the car withq his girlfriend, on the way to the hospital, he recognizes the perk, theñ?ñ? car. hand on his chest, he jumpsmtu/s out -- got in the prone position, and shot one of the head. marksmanship.

is made. that's what we call a hero. take care, people. >> thank you. any further public comment? public comment's now closed. please call line item 3. >> reports and announcements. chief's report, discussion, review of recent activities, calendar and scheduling of community meetings regarding less lethal weapons, presentation of the third recommendation, presentation of summary, driving. >> good evening. >> good evening commissioner, public, director hirks. very quickly, we had -- this is our first commission meeting since a rather busy october. october was probably as busy a month as i can remember in my

time in the police department, which has been a while now. it started with special events at the beginning of the month, one particular weekend that wasj unbelievable a visit by our would be, now going to be, for the next four years, president of the united states, a run during the playoff of eight home games that wrapped up with a world series celebration, and halloween that was uneventful, by all accounts and all this down a couple hundred officers. unfortunately toward the end of october, we had an uptick in violence in the mission toç whh the officers went right to work, and i think the final total for the month there were 42 gun&dfe mack 11 and we got through another month and year to date esdown nearñr 10% as opposed to

last year. again i think themnmsg pulling a yeoman's duty out in the street, and now they're gearing up for what will hopefully be a great holiday season and switch gears/ will be doing things with kids and the elderly and the community all that stuff on top of trying to keep the gun and the violent rate down. unfortunately property crime has clicked up about 6%, but we're trying to get a handle on that too as property crime arrests are up nearly 10%. so it's all a work in progress. i understand that the meeting -- the last meeting that i missed, there were some questions. me, one or more commissioners was curiousyññ?ñ? about drug co. drug court, although i believeòp strongly inç drug court and goo all the graduations, it's not really a part of the police department. it was found theön#w+ in 1995, s an alternative to incarceration and it can get your record

expunged.ñr at graduation and i can tell the commissioners when the next graduation is -- there's a formal declaration that charges are dismissed. someone from the court shows up and actually does that. it's very cool. the last one was last month, about 22 graduates finished, that makes the total about year now, haveéel some handouts here andi can pass them out. it's -- when most of the folks that go to drug court are marginally housefph9aíz and/or unemployed and by the time they graduate, 100% have stable housing and some source of lega3 income. although the numbers are not huge per class, any little bit helps as the recidivism rate is decidedly lower thanx!exq4  tht do not go to drug court. to hear the commentary of the folkst( at graduation, they, themselves, can't believe

they all say that they did it just to sort of work the system and get their case dismissed. realize they're not allowed to get it through that way and that's->w7au a good thing. another thing that the deputy chief brought up,b1fm$ or i gues it'sñp?p&yt actually on the ages where are we with 5.05. i think it's the content is good. the formatting'seq"zó(wm not sos opposed to the old order. i'm working with the city attorney to correct it as to form. and i think that within the next the draft for everyone to look at here, which is again where we would be with the department domestic violence officer related go that i'm getting helç actually from sergeant back there my formatterç for make sure it reads right legally. we want a professional product

to you and we're closeñ?ñ? on te within 30 days. as far as the calendaring of the less lethal weapons out of deference to azñ?ñ? special evee of the commissioners and the headlines for/cñ?ñ? everyone cod on both sides onç the issue in tfdñ?ñ?he community in meeting h the director and three commissioners involved the decision was that i have the community meetings inc? january and repick up these issues. so there wasgñ?ñ?ñ as little acy holidays as related to the san francisco police department. that's it. i=xñ?ñ? would ask sgt. crudo toe up and proceed with the fdrb and oas summaries. >> i want to thankiñpñw the efforts of the police officers during that week, with the world series celebration, was quite remarkable to see the officers out on the street.

you had all hands on deck. even had the officers from the police academy working. you did a great job managing!2wb that, keeping the peace, and keeping people happy. thankh+syxkm you. commissioners in your packet there3kzñ71[y is a memorandum we chief thanked. it was a joint thank you from the police commission and the chief thanking them for their hard work. it was amazing, with thin resources we made this a great place to be to celebrate the giants victory. it was a job well done and job ñ?tñ/v% to the officers out on shout o-u?ñ?ñt.ve a we had all the recruits, all 100 recruits were out along the parade route helping out. were readily found and the other eight turned up. so we have all 100 backht at te police academy now. >> encouraging.

>> commissioners, before i start with thena[e:c court, sgt. time has moved over from#é='wrny the administrative side to the oas team so theç sergeant will be coming here as well to these meetings. getting to the officer involved shooting report for t

members,voóp 4lw deputy chief y, inspector monroe represented the police commission, director the -- >> a little concerned. who represented the police commission? kind of him but... >> there was as9ñ?ñ i understa, i'm not+sñ?ñ? sure who was sched from the commission. >> that would be me and something came up and i couldn't make it. itko. >>ñr the twoç cases, one an oid that occurred july 12,

two dogs were running wild loose and animal control called -- one dog was captured but another one ran back to the address -- joined by a second dog in the attempt to capture those two harness, that animal care and control wasru?ñ?ñ?attempting to, lunged at the officers. the officers even attempted to use less lethal options that they had with them to no avail and botht( dogs were shot. policy. the vicious animal clause. and officer involved discharge 003-12 occurred also in july, july 27, 2012, 766 -- street, which you may recognize at company a. in that case, a -- an officer
