>> it would be the good news is that our docket is so low that we don't need a dedicated day. >> no public comment on that. public comment is now closed. motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> all right, we need to go to line item number nine now, after we finished the closed session and that is a motion to elect whether to disclose anything in the closed session. >> second. >> any public comment regarding that? >> ray hartz, director of san francisco open government and before i start, i will plainly state that prohibting public comment having to do with any item handling with any other item other than for purposes of time are prohibited under both the sunshine ordinance and the brown act. and i am going to go back

because i think that some of the comments that i made earlier, were dismissed, rather than responded to. i personally have been in this chamber in the last year, when four times the same excuse was used to rearrange the ago ahead agenda, we have attorneys in here, they are expensive, it is not like it is a big surprise. >> if that is what your priority is, put them third rather than putting them somewhere else and rearranging at the last minute. in addition seven other times i have observed on sfgtv in the last year, whether that was done, that is 11 times, in one year. now, you have about 3 meetings a month in this chamber, others are held at different locations. that is about 36 meetings a year, which is pretty high percentage. all that i am saying is, when the public comes they should have an expectation that they can rely on your agenda, if you feel that the expense for the court reporters and the

attorneys or whatever is so critical, why not just put it third on the agenda and take general public comment and let the public know we are going into closed session. rather than doing what you seem to do which is wait until the public shows up based on the agenda that was put out under the law and then simply say we have decided that we are going to rearrange it. >> it is not a surprise to you, you are all a bunch of intelligent people most of you are lawyers, if that is the thing that is critical to you then be honest about it. and when i bring up these comments, i see a bunch of eye rolling and a bunch of dismissiveness, i come here because i do know my rights under the sunshine ordinance, with the police department and the police commission and my complaints, i am six for six. i don't take complaints to the sunshine ordinance task force for giggles i do it because i watch you violate the law and i go there and i'm found to be

right. and i think that it is a shame that any member of the public has to spend his or her time and come to public meetings and tell people who took a oath of office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states that they don't have the right to stifle public comment or to deny access to public records. very frankly, east germans living in germany can go and see their stofy reports russians can look at their kgb reports and i cannot get a look at a report that was made for a visit to my house for the sfg, and that is ironic. >> any further public comment on this matter? >> commission comment? >> no. >> public comment is now closed. >> >> please call item number ten. >> we have to vote on nine >> let's vote on nine. >> the vote to elect whether to

disclose anything on item eight. san francisco, code section 67-12 a. action. >> just for the record before we vote. this is only the second time that i have actually had to do that to move a disciplinary matter or a personnel matter up. it is a sensitive issues and we did it for a lot of reasons. and it was perfectly permissible to do so and it was done so with the advice of the city attorney. so, i believe accuracy in what the people report to the commission and say in front of the commission and sometimes that is lost. so do i have a vote? >> aye. >> aye. >> all in favor. >> please call line item number ten. >> item ten. >> adjournment. >> a motion? >> i so moved. >> second. >> thank you. push
