is, you know, deadlines to submit to the mayor's office and where is that. >> director is preparing it, obviously it is a two-year budget. so this year's budget presentation, every other year the budget presentation will be significantly lighter than it would be on the first year of a two-year budget. so director ganon is preparing a presentation for the commission and i can include it in the chief's report so that you don't have to necessarily calendar it. whenever you would like to have her and she could probably use two week's notice >> when is your deadline to the mayor? >> i don't have it on top of my head. >> february 21st. >> february 21st, for all departments. >> i think that this is calendared for next week. >> it is a budget issue. >> i found that earlier today. >> is it? okay. >> hold for next week. >> good. >> one thing that i need to add before at the graduation was a diverse class and one of the most inspiration moments and

the young man was pinned with a badge and his grandmother was in a wheelchair and spoke extremely limited english and she said god bless san francisco and god bless america. and he acknowledged that. >> their son obviously member of our arab american community and so it was really special. >> cool. >> all right. so call all of those lines and now it is time for public comment, regarding 4, a, b, c, d. >> ray hartzes, director of open government. i am sorry for the officers who gave the presentation on the weapons and the so forth are gone, i think that they did an excellent job. however, i would like to point out to this commission, that none of the slides and statistics and things that were projected were made available in my information packet nor were they available for the public. and as a result, i think that

some of you had them, but we were unable to read many of them and certainly not able to take down any notes, and those are requiredments of the sunshine ordinance that documents that are going to be presented at a public meeting are to be made available, i will check on your website to see if they are even there, but i think that i know what i will find. >> to the director's report. first i would like to compliment the director in the fact that i do not remember any time she has presented something at any of these meetings where she has failed to provide the documents that were appropriately part of that presentation. so, she seems to be able to handle that responsibility, and okay, that is one of the four. thank you. >> and so i would say that. but on to my main point, i gave director hicks earlier this evening a complaint against

inspector james miranda for lying about the existence of public records. and the inspect or visited my home on 2012, to talk to me regarding sfpd number 1 20098278. when i contacted inspector approximately six weeks later he denied that any documents related to the visit to my home or our conversation even existed. when i challenged his statement he refused them to deal with me apparently told the city attorney's office acting in the capacity as supervisor of records that the documents did not exist. i learned this from an e-mail from dca justin who stated in part i understand from an... i understand this from an e-mail from i am sorry. i understand further that you had a discussion with inspector miranda and that he informed you that he has no additional records in the file. -

>> that petition to supervisor the records has been reopened. it is now being reevaluated by the city attorney's office. inspector miranda lied to me and i believe that he made false representations to the deputy city attorney when she was investigating the existence of the documents telling her that they did not exist, and in may a month later we got confirmation that yes there were documents but they were withholding them and they were the law that they were withholding them under. to deny that something exists, when you could have just said, we are going to withhold them based on the law is wrong. . >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> high name is paulette brown

and as you know i want to use the overhead. >> okay. >> my son again, still unsolved homicide case. and i know i was concerned that you know each year i come here and i am here again tonight

because his case is still not solved along with other mothers and fathers that have lost their children. i have been out on the battle field for a long time. and this is something that i will be doing for the rest of my life. and i think that something else needs to be done so that we can have some closure. because i still have no closure. i heard you say, that parent deserves some closure. we all deserve closure. it is not no one specific parent or father that deserves special treatment, we all deserve closure. and there is none. we need it. i also stand with other mothers all of the time, the people of color are dying out here. this mother i stand with we are

together every day, we just left for conference. on domestic violence. we sit down at 850 bryant, out there with our baby's pictures. city hall, san quinten jail. i went back to school to get my mental health license and my drug and alcohol license so that i could get over to the san francisco general and get in the trauma unit and at least get in hold of the mother bfs they get in there so if i can hold it and stop it and give them some kind of for him fort, i want to and that is why i went back to school and to understand. what is going on in people's brains, this is a mental condition, we are suffering from posttraumatic stress

disorder. i know that i am. i am missing my boy. dearly. and i need some closure, i don't have any. i'm tired of crying, i am tired of begging. if there is something that i can do, to help you i will. let me know. i mean, i have all of the names of the people that shot my son. i have them. i can come and give them to you. they are in his file. something needs to be done. get a subpoena, subpoena them. subpoena them. make them come to court and talk. that is all. >> thank you miss brown. >> any further public comment? >> hearing none, public comment is closed and line item. >> please call item number five.

>> discussion of possible action to move the police commission's dark or no meeting day from the second wednesday of each month to the third wednesday of each month. action. >> commissioners, we added to this to agenda because we have taken the second wednesday of the month off, however one of the commissioners has the conflict with the democratic central committee. >> two actually. >> and in addition to that, actually i have meetings that i have to leave early from to attend. so if we could move our closed no meeting day with your permission, from the second wednesday of the month to the third that would be appreciated >> so moved. >> second. >> that is i assume starting now. >> yes. >> before we take a vote on that. any public comment regarding that? >> just one question. >> does that also mean that disciplinary day will then move to or to that just be. >> 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

>> superintendent carranza. >> thank you president norton. good evening ladies and gentlemen and by the way you're rolling your r's better and better every meeting. i am very impressed so ladies and gentlemen welcome this evening. i would like to share a few thoughts and they're some letters that parents and students have receiving at home. as you're aware the graduation requirements are more rigorous. due to the changes many of the students are missing one or more classes to graduate. while we have every confidence the students will make up the classes we through the support

of the city of san francisco have received credit for earning options for the affected students which includes offering evening school for the first time in four years and online courses. to make sure that the families are available of the options we sent automatic robeo dialer calls to contact families and as well as a letter that families should have received from me. we encourage all students and families to review the transcripts and discuss the progress with their counselor. many have met with the counselor at high school and created a plan at krawgz and we want to thank you for your efforts. i also want to advise our parents just because you received a letter doesn't mean that your child is goofing off and not doing what they need to do, so let's make sure we're

supportive and students are on track. if you received the letter feel free to visit your counselor to ensure that the records we have on file are accurate. please keep in mind when you sent the letters we measured credits in core subjects as of october 2012 so many things could have happened since then so be sure to check. during the meeting with the counselor we're going to ask that you have a review of the completion record that you create individualized graduation plan if it's necessary for up-to-date information on credit earning options please visit our website and be sure to make plans to visit with a counselor. i would also like to address a recent article that was in the news regarding a program that we have implemented in the school

district to help increase our efforts in providing the best support to all of our students. our teachers have been receiving professional development in response to intervention which is rti. now the goal is provide schools and teachers for strategies for better meeting the needs of students with specific goals and general education and our diverse learners that benefit as you can understand from teachers with a repertoire of strategies. in gathering this general data we have contracted with pearson's review 360 and a screening tool that makes it easier to input aggregate behavioral student trends. i want to emphasize for the community that this universal screening is not a test or evaluation of students

or pupils, but rather it's a teacher survey to collect teacher's observations of people's behavior. all of the information that is collected has been directly observed by families doing their daily responsibilities to manage student behavior. the survey doesn't require teachers to do psychological testing or any mental health assessments as stated in the letter. please note above that the universal screening data would be used to determine if there are enhancements needed to support students in school or what supplemental or methods are necessary. i also want to call everyone's attention this is mendoza and we have joining our president and celebrating january as

national mentoring month and yes let's have a round of applause. [applause] this even we will honor two of our organizations, peer resources that will be transitioning to the san francisco unified school district and the mentor program in our department. both of the departments use the school based social workers and mentors to pair them and come from the community and our current staff at sfusd. we hope you consider serving as a mentor and supporting a program like this and last but not least to our mighty san francisco 49ers we want to join -- [applause] we want to -- >> superintendent. >> there we go. there we go. >> we have some faithful in the house. we want to join our mighty san francisco 49ers and

our great city wishing our football players great success as in your quft for number six and we are proud of you and what you accomplished and look forward to celebrating on your return with the super bowl trophy so we wanted to wish you congratulations and i made a friendly bet with the superintendent in baltimore. >> what is he going to give us? >> he can't compete with our sour bow bread and chocolates so we are still negotiating but i will let you know how that turns out and to all of our school communities we want to wish everyone 100th day of school. yay. [applause] thank you all very much. >> thank you superintendent for that very news filled presentation. now, we have a number of recognitions and

accommodations tonight. superintendent carranza would you present the rave awards please. >> yes president norton. we would like to present the rave distinguished service award this evening to a teacher and i would like to call to the podium principal carol fong who will make the presentation. [applause] >> good evening commissioners and superintendent carranza. thank you for building in an opportunity in our infrastructure to really truly recognize outstanding staff in district. i am carol fong principal at aloha elementary street and it's my pleasure to introduce you to this person. it takes a great person to be a great teacher so beyond effective academic delivery, a great teacher inspires and

[applause] >> just a few words. first and foremost i thank god for his unlimited grace and strength each day to teach children for the past 25 years at oloha

school elementary. i can't believe i get paid for something that i love to do. you know it isn't the pay. it is the internal warm fuzzies they get everyday. i hum believey and gracefully accept this award on behalf of our community. last year under principal carol fong, her leadership, the school was awarded the blue ribbon the california distinguished and the title i. that's a triple crown in one year.

honored to be part of that school community. my service award reflects the outstanding driven leadership of principal carol fong that dedicated team of teachers, the parents who are -- who is the support glue between the child and the teachers, and the energetic students who make each educational day a fun, challenging, heart warming, a "yes you've got it day". thank you sfusd for giving me a third grade classroom where i can teach, nurse, parent, play, and serve the children of our future. it is a great honor and a heavy responsibility to educate them to read, write, communicate, problem solve, think critically, and make positive choices. lastly i

wonderful history of the program now known as the early education department. the program has been in the district for 70 years serving family children from low income and high risk communities. we would like to take time in our day to actually celebrate those 70 years by actually doing besides the resolution two events. one is that we're going to have a dinner that will actually bring back former administrators, former site administrators, former ed's to come and just let everyone know the history of the program and the great work they have done, and also talk about the work we are going to do. the second thing we're going to do is also have a carnival for our families saying thank you. just thank you for bearing with us and helping us to grow and become a better program. to do this we have an amazing committee and there is a

rolling joke about me is that i never come alone and i work with a team who allows me to work with them, and that team as you see them -- they're up here. i wanted to take time to say just thank you. they have -- they're busy people, and in their business lives they have taken time to actually put this celebration together so i want to publicly say thank you to candace lee, rebecca ya and iviling -- she's not here but thank you. marshy rukman and christie cook and sarah chew so these are site administrators, clerks, former teacher who is all weigh in about what they think the celebration should look like. to read the resolution i want to turn to our fearless leader over here, candace lee who has lead this committee in developing the resolution and the two events.
