7:00 am
to have naked people seven days a week standing on a corner near your house?" i am willing to bet that poll result would change. fundamentally i disagree with the argument. the logic goes if we ban one thing, anything, we might as well ban everything and be a fascist society and therefore don't ban anything or we going to become like that. i think that is extreme logic and if you look at our code and the codes of many other very progressive cities we have all sorts of laws that say you can do things and there are limits to what you can do. someone mentioned ian rand and i that was very appropriate. we live in a community. we live in a community that is densely populated and we all have to be able to live together, and i don't agree with ian rand and
7:01 am
it's all about you and as an individual and i can do anything i want no matter what, no matter the impact on other people, so colleagues i think this legislation is a reasonable response to a real issue. it is a very narrow piece of legislation, particularly compared to other codes, governing nudity in the city and i move that we forward this to the board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor chu. >> thank you. i do want thank supervisor wiener for bringing this legislation to us and the thoughtful comments. i also want to thank members of the public that came to speak. i listened intently for those for and against the legislation. i will be supporting the legislation. what was compelling to me was the people that lived in the neighborhood. there were people that live and
7:02 am
oppose the legislation and i recognize that from the comments today but the idea of a sense of community, people from all walks of life, whether you're a family, whether you didn't have a family and be safe and comfortable in the neighborhood was something that was very compelling to me, so i just wanted to express that. i think someone who is against it also said this is a community we want to be part of and it's one where you can live and respect each other and i do think because of how people feel strongly about public nudity it's important that the respect goes in all directions and a space that is comfortable for everybody and that's the reasons why i am supporting the legislation. i heard a number of folks that said it's not narrowly tailord and i believe it is and i wanted to express that as well so i will be supporting this. >> thank you supervisor chu. supervisor wiener has made a motion to send this item
7:03 am

7:06 am
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
7:07 am
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
7:08 am
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
7:09 am
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
7:10 am
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
7:11 am
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.
7:12 am
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
7:13 am
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
7:14 am
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
7:15 am
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
7:16 am
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
7:17 am
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 decisio 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
7:18 am
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
