>> that is fine. >> thank you very much chief, call item 3 b. >> occ director's rment discussion. review of recent activities, presentation of the occ monthly comprehensive statistical report and companion reports for the periods of january 1, 2013 through january 31, 2013, and january 1, 2012 will you january 31, 2012. medation of complaints on january 2013 and adjudication of sustained complaints in january 2013. >> good evening, members of the commission and chief, sir and members of the audience. you have in your packets the january 20, 13 and 2012 statistical reports and companion reports that i will briefly discuss them. they were on your february, your mid february agenda but

that meeting was canceled. soon we will be receiving probably next week, the february sta stits cal report. from january to the end of the month, the occ opened 55 cases. that is 12 fewer cases than we opened in january of 2012, when we opened 67 cases in 2013, the occ investigators closed one less case than they opened and they closed 54 cases. as of january 31st, actually as of today, the occ has 306 pending cases compared to 357 pending cases as of march six of last year. medations in january, five cases were mediated in january, that would be ten percent, approximately ten percent of the cases we closed. and in february, we also mediated five cases. in january, six officers were offered medation and two of

them declined. the occ sustained allegations and allegation in one case in january. and that is 6 percent of the cases, we closed. and no complaints were adjudicated by the police department during january. that concludes my report. >> thank you very much, director hicks? >> commissioner chin? >> welcome. >> thank you, very much. >> good evening, that was an incredible retirement party that you put together for charles it was really well done. >> thank you very much. it was well deserved. charles has given the city so many years of service. and i can't say enough. how impressive it was that while the occ performs a task, that is along the lines of discipline, there were many members of the police

department captains and command staff members who were there to tell charles how much they appreciated his subjectivity and his fairness in the job that he did. >> that was awesome. >> thank you. >> if we could call line item 3 c. >> 3 c, commissioner reports of the discussion. commission president's report and the commission's reports. >> we had our meeting last week in the community in northern station, i have to say that captain did a excellent job with the out reach it was probably the best attended meeting with over 100 community members and two members of the supervisors and mark farrell and one of the new supervisors were present and so i want to thank you for the excellent job and thank you for the officers at northern station and thank the father, the pastor and called in the church who allowed us to use the new community room there. and it was again, it was a very successful community meeting. so i want to thank them for that. so that is all that i have to

report, and other than the fact that i want to tell you that your chief i know that you are tired and you reported about a lot of things that happened. this police department has done a lot in the last week. and people really have to appreciate your hard work and i appreciate what you do and what the men and women do out on the street this last week and if we were to give a report card it would be an aplus, so thank you. >> appreciate it. >> commissioners in anything to report? >> no. >> please call line item 3 d. >> commission announcement and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings action. >> any announcements? inspector monroe? that we are here march 13th in room 400, at city hall for the next meeting. and then we will have a committee meeting in the mission on march 27th. >> yeah, i have two things for future consideration. commissioner chan is next. but there are two things that we need to do. you know, every day we get a report of all of the major incidents and crimes that take place. and i can't help but see that every time that we get this,

robbery iphone and we hear this at our committee meeting and so i have done a little research into this and i would like the police department to give us an idea of what percentage of the robberies, because the robberies are up are for iphones and the captain gave the example of driving by a bus stop and seeing 14 people looking at their iphones. and it is a problem. and there is always one way to stop this problem if we could have somebody from apple come here and explain to us why they cannot deactivate those phones once they are taken in a robbery so that they have no resale value. so that there is no need for somebody to take those phones if they are deactivated we would have fewer robberies. i would like to get the ideas from the statistics and somebody can get hurt or killed over an iphone and if apple can't explain to us why we do tha. we are in charge of policy and procedure. people are being robbed on a daily basis for the iphones, we

need an explanation of what they can and can't do. >> if we can put that on the agenda, and i know that i talked to the chief about this and the statistics are probably the majority of robberies are for phones and not just apple >> we have concerns about how things are going with the patrol specials that we deal with them all of the time and there has been some and we have hired new assistant parole specials and i am hoping that we will reach out to the thorough commissioner, chan that we are willing to take a look at some of the rules and procedures that meet with the new patrol coordinator and an inventory of the specials that we have and how are things going, if you would not mind doing that, it is just your expertise and we have to talk about this if you like to talk to this before it is a problem. >> i could do that and perhaps i will recruit another commissioner >> commissioner chan?

>> okay. >> and just to clarify to make sure that i am clear on this. on the patrol specials what are the questions? >> our questions are, are they staying in compliance with our rules and procedures? are these beats being monitored? again i think that we have lost track of who is running what beat and who is doing what? we hear different things about for example the patrol specials that are no longer with them but on the beat. we need to clean up the mess a bit. it did get better. but it is out of hand >> who is working with them? >> sergeant simon kim. >> and so i will recruit them so he will have more information. >> thank you very much. >> so, my question that i had was about dgo 0.05, i am wondering what is the good date for that. >> we are at revisions 31, and we are ready to send it as a

final... (inaudible) as one hopes draft to the occ and to the poa for consideration. so as far as sending a draft, and i think that we are done. so, whenever you would like to counter, obviously i will not be here next week, the next week we are dark. and the next week we are in the community. so perhaps the next meeting after that. >> march 13th, we changed it a bit, so on the second wednesday we meet now but not on the third wednesday. so would it be possible to hear it on march, am i seeing this right? you will be gone, i am seeing. i think that it is february still. >> so we are looking at april third? would that work? >> that is fine with us. >> okay. >> so april third for the pursuit driving dgo. >> i mean the only caviot with that is if the poa wants to meet and confer on the policy changes and that scheduling

then may have its own course that might delay a little bit. but there is a legal obligation to provide notice of the change and confer with the oa request. >> and since we are a month out, hopefully that is enough time for them to respond. sometimes it is hard to put all of the schedules together. for the people who need to be there. okay. >> for now, april third. >> thank you. >> commissioner kingsley? >> i would like to also schedule on the april third, meeting the scheduling resolution. commissioner turm an and i have been working with the city attorney katie porter for the last several months and we have received report from director hicks and the department on that and we are getting it into a format to be able to be able to be discussed by the commission as a whole. and just kind of as a heads up on this, when you receive the document, you know, the

commission has a number of mandates on it. you know, for its responsibilities and activities and they come from many different directions. and this resolution is an attempt to organize that bring it together for us to assess that and update it for 2013, with how we think that we should go forward. you know, on our many responsibilities and activities. those that we have can control that are resolution based and also to provide a road map not only for us, on an annual basis, but also for new incoming secretaries of the commission, as well as new commissioners. everything will be in one spot. and that it will serve as a good road map. and just also keep in mind, when you get this draft, is that the city attorney in putting it together, used as

basically a blueprint the resolution, similar resolutions for the fire department, i believe. and so, we are not creating those completely from scratch. so, we thank you for that, and april third is it? it would seem to be a good time for that. >> dr. marshall? >> commissioner? someone brought up, i think that out the whole taser thing that we had the three community meetings. so what is the next step? i am just curious what is the plan? >> sure. i need to meet with the other commissioners, the chief as well as the occ, to debrief on the three meetings that we have had and because we have had three meetings, that is six hours plus of any community testimony and questions and discussion and each of us have probably a box full of information. so we need to meet and figure out what have we gathered so far, how does that track with the resolution that this commission, i think that it was

unanimously passed in 2011, that we meet all of those requirements and that, based on that, i assume that we need to write up or have some sort of finding of some sort. and then, once that is ready, get that in front of the commission, so that is what i see as the next steps as a single commissioner without conducting with the other ones and i need to talk to them and make sure that that is right. >> and for me, nobody else. and my idea of the time frame in that? >> i am not sure. i am not sure. >> but you guys could let us know. >> we will let you know. >> we did say at the last commission or community meeting that we would try to make it as close as we could within 30 days. so, i know that my hope would be that we could have at least we could have the findings to the full commission by at least the middle of april.

>> we could work and watch the bench mark dates and i know that it is not easiest and we will do it all of the time so that we will at least try so that everybody will have a time frame. >> thank you. >> commissioners, anything further? >> hearing none, it is now public comment on-line items 3 abcand d. >> commissioners, good evening, very briefly is that i brought it up in 2011 and brought it up in 2012. that for the (inaudible) local neighborhoods you need to do more advertising. plain and simple. on the medians all that i saw was a little 4 x3, in the bay view times on those meetings, they were not listed anywhere else that i know of on planet earth. and then i saw a flier on the

door. we are going on with your meeting in parts of the city where the people and those parts of the city don't even know that you exist on the planet. there is no notification, outside of a website, or i don't know what other meetings you are using to put the advertise those, but it is not anything that i read papers in the san francisco. the chronicle and the examiner, some of the local ones, and i have yet to see one ad. and the police commission, notified that neighborhood that you are having a meeting. and you wonder why, hey, most of people that show up are well informed which is fine. but the public at large, the layperson has no idea that you are even there. and he is the person or she is the person or should be at your meetings bringing up the local problems. >> and i would like to see more, i would like to see advertisements either on the bus, the community would be very good and i am sure that the community can give me free

spots if somebody will dig up the posters they could put it on 150 meeting buses in the mission or the sunset or whatever, i think that you need more of that and i think, don't need to talk about it again late this year and not in 2014, i will find out that nothing has ever been done and i thank you for your time on that issue >> any further comment on a, b, c, d, three? >> >> hi, my mame is mark capastany i am a property manager with stewart company. we manage several buildings on the sixth street corridor and i had the pleasure of having the chief in one of the buildings recently in response to an assault that occurred between a couple of our residents. this is my first one of these meetings that i have attended in the 25 years that i have been in property management and real estate and this is new for me. but i did want to take just a moment to thank the san francisco police department for the work that they do on a daily basis in the central

market district of san francisco. i have been on 6th street for three years now, and i come from the other side of the planet, so to speak, where most people can handle their own housing, afford their own housing and all of this, this area is impoverished and full of people that have trouble taking care of themselves and often get themselfs in trouble and the only thing that i think makes a difference in this area is the san francisco police department's presence on the streets. and the opening of the substation there or whatever it is being referred to as is something that we were hoping for when we first saw the plans drafted. and we were extremely happy to see it coming into existence, because i really believe that this is an important part of dealing with the neighborhood there.

other than that, i just want to say, thanks for the effort that everybody makes to keep crime down in the city. because there are a lot of people that don't have anything to lose in this city. that live in tenderloin and central market and depending on how, or what state of mind they are in or how much they have had to drink or take, anything is possible. and it just the increased police presence in the area, i noticed that there was a push to have more uni formed officers? the region, there was a large control truck parked for 3 or 4 months and it made a huge difference in what was going on there. and in the last three months, i have had six aggravated assaults inside my building

alone. and this is the cash building that houses formally homeless adults and that is just one building out of a dozen on 6th street. and so, it is very important that the commission be aware of the need in this particular area for increased police presence and i thank you again for your work. >> thank you very much. >> any further public comment? >> hearing none, the public comment is closed. call line item number 4. >> public comment on the matters pertaining to item 6 below, closed session, including public comment on vote whether to hold items 6 in closed session. >> public comment regarding our closed session matter where we deal with personnel matters? >> hearing none, public comment is now closed. >> the next line, thank you. >> called on vote on whether to hold item 6 in closed session, action. >> is that a motion? >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you very much. ladies and gentlemen we are going to move into closed

session. >> president mazzucco and back in open session and you have a quorum. >> i have a motion with reference to... >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> any public comment. >> hearing none, please all the next item. >> next item 8. adjourn. >> i move to motion. >> i move that we adjourn. >> thank you very much everybody. >> thank you.

>> you're watching quick bite, the show that has san francisco. ♪ ♪

♪ >> we're here at one of the many food centric districts of san francisco, the 18th street corridor which locals have affectionately dubbed the castro. a cross between castro and gastronomic. the bakery, pizza, and dolores park cafe, there is no end in sight for the mouth watering food options here. adding to the culinary delights is the family of business he which includes skylight creamery, skylight and the 18 raisin. >> skylight market has been here since 1940. it's been in the family since 1964. his father and uncle bought the market and ran it through sam taking it over in 1998. at that point sam revamped the

market. he installed a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs look forward to come. he created community through food. so, we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where it's comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our guests who come and buy and eat the food. and we really feel that we wouldn't exist if it weren't for all three of those components who really support each other. and that's kind of what we work towards every day. >> valley creamery was opened in 2006. the two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sam's wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. they found a space on the block

to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. they realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines around the corner. so, that's been a huge success. in 2008, sam started 18 reasons, which is our community and event space where we do five events a week all around the idea of bringling people closer to where the food comes from and closer to each other in that process. >> 18 reasons was started almost four years ago as an educational arm of their work. and we would have dinners and a few classes and we understood there what momentum that people wanted this type of engagement and education in a way that allowed for a more in-depth conversation. we grew and now we offer -- i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking and we did a teacher training workshop where

san francisco unified public school teachers came and learned to use cooking for the core standards. we range all over the place. we really want everyone to feel like they can be included in the conversation. a lot of organizations i think which say we're going to teach cooking or we're going to teach gardening, or we're going to get in the policy side of the food from conversation. we say all of that is connected and we want to provide a place that feels really community oriented where you can be interested in multiple of those things or one of those things and have an entree point to meet people. we want to build community and we're using food as a means to that end. >> we have a wonderful organization to be involved with obviously coming from buy right where really everyone is treated very much like family. coming into 18 reasons which even more community focused is such a treat. we have these events in the evening and we really try and bring people together. people come in in groups, meet friends that they didn't even know they had before. our whole set up is focused on

communal table. you can sit across from someone and start a conversation. we're excited about that. >> i never worked in catering or food service before. it's been really fun learning about where things are coming from, where things are served from. >> it is getting really popular. she's a wonderful teacher and i think it is a perfect match for us. it is not about home cooking. it's really about how to facilitate your ease in the kitchen so you can just cook. >> i have always loved eating food. for me, i love that it brings me into contact with so many wonderful people. ultimately all of my work that i do intersects at the place where food and community is. classes or cooking dinner for someone or writing about food. it always come down to empowering people and giving them a wonderful experience. empower their want to be around

people and all the values and reasons the commitment, community and places, we're offering a whole spectrum of offerings and other really wide range of places to show that good food is not only for wealthy people and they are super committed to accessibility and to giving people a glimpse of the beauty that really is available to all of us that sometimes we forget in our day to day running around. >> we have such a philosophical mission around bringing people together around food. it's so natural for me to come here. >> we want them to walk away feeling like they have the tools to make change in their lives. whether that change is voting on an issue in a way that they will really confident about, or that change is how to understand why it is important to support our small farmers.

each class has a different purpose, but what we hope is that when people leave here they understand how to achieve that goal and feel that they have the resources necessary to do that. >> are you inspired? maybe you want to learn how to have a patch in your backyard or cook better with fresh ingredients . or grab a quick bite with organic goodies. find out more about 18 reasons by going to 18 reasons.org and learn about buy right market and creamery by going to buy right market.com. and don't forget to check out our blog for more info on many of our episodes at sf quick bites.com. until next time, may the fork be with you. ♪ ♪ >> so chocolaty. mm. ♪ >> oh, this is awesome.
