3:30 am
i think that reference was probably intended to be a reference to djo 11.01, which was the dgo a ofn of specification five. >> say that again. >> page 22, line 12. i belief the reference dgo should have been 11.01. >> that is correct. i saw that as well. >> if you have any questions for me, if i can be of any assistance in any way, please let me know. >> my first thought, the procedure that you outlined with regarding to response and submission of concerns about findings of fact, i find that to be accurate. i just want to ask miss blitz if what you describe was correct, if that's what i found and i got a document today
3:31 am
outlined the procedures here so -- >> that's correct commissioner marshall. the commission has a document that's available online on commission website and it's section roman numeral 14, subsection c. there's a timeline and process for submitting proposed findingings from the department and from the officer as just summarized by department officer alden. >> my concern is that if it does go on and on and on, so with the procedure outline, i can't see going any further than tonight. >> well, i would ask that you give me the benefit of the doubt. i'm not an attorney. nobody from the police commission told me that you need to submit a response by a
3:32 am
certain date. >> it's not our role to tell you how to defend your case and you had several council in this case. >> i've chosen now to not to be represented by council. >> you've chosen to represent yourself. >> and i have a right to do that. >> it's your job to do the representation of yourself, not ours, and to know those rules. >> following the procedural rules and, again, we go outside those rules, this could go back and forth and back and forth. as far as i'm concerned, it's the end of it tonight. >> okay, we can conclude it tonight. >> i'm kinda leaning towards hearing this tonight, but since you are finding a request we should at least as a group decide on it. one thing i want to hear before we decide on this request is why you didn't file any findings or facts since you've
3:33 am
had -- if i can finish. you've had the proposed findings since february. i understand that you received the latest version from the city attorney recently that you can put in what your recommended findings of fact are to consider. you've had time and i want to hear that before we decide. i >> i didn't know there was going to be a separate hearing for findings of fact so once i found out i said i'll respond to it. i have multiple copies of what i've prepared as a response. i can provide it to the commissioner right now and it's basically rebuttal of specifications of number one and five, which were the allegations that were sustained against me. >> can we learn what other commission is meeting and considering issues that are relevant that they need to
3:34 am
findings of fact in this case? >> i have no idea. you have to ask attorney alden. >> i'm fairly confident inspector lee is familiar because he implemented them. he made a various witnesses in this case lied and conspired against him because he's a member of a protected class. normally this isn't something that would come up in open session, so i can get into it a little bit. >> that's okay. now that we know what that other body is and that 's as a result of a complaint that you brought and eeoc complaint that you brought, inspector lee, correct? >> yes. i have a -- >> you're the one that's invested in having that other commission hear that complaint -- >> he makes it sound like some
3:35 am
other police commission hearing. there is a civil service commission hearing that'd deadlocked. they're having a final civil service commission. they're going to be holding it in closed session to make a determination whether there was discrimination or retaliation in this case. >> and that's at your request? they're convening, they're doing that because you filed a complaint with them, sir? >> yeah. i had filed internal department eeo complaints and that matter is still pending before the san francisco civil service commission and i believe they told me the date may be december 2, but they haven't totally confirmed it yet. >> so you did know that december 2 was a possible date for this? >> can you repeat that? >> you did know that december 2 was a possible date for another commission hearing on your matter? >> it's a separate. it's an eeo related issue. >> that's what i said. separate commission. >> yes.
3:36 am
>> i just want to propose a resolution to this. it looks like inspector lee that you did bring your feedback even though you had a short time to turn it around, my proposed resolution ofthis request is we just take some time to read what you've brought tonight and then we make a decision tonight. i would suggest that we /stke deny the request to continue this just to make sure we resolve that request unless you have anything additional regarding this request. >> to be clear on this, you do have comments you can present us tonight? >> yes. >> okay. >> we can conclude this tonight if that's what you want to do. >> i move to deny the request to continue. >> let's continue.
3:37 am
>> i move to deny the request to say no to the request. >> well, my issue on that, i don't know what that thing looks like. i have no idea what the document that inspector lee is going to put forth, he had one item. that's my concern. >> perhaps it be oral and we limit it, because if it's in writing then we have to take time to read and deliberate and so on and it become part of the record. if it's presented orally it's part of the written record and we can still consider it. >> we have the option of going into closed session. can we do that? >> in terms of continuance or in terms of the findings? >> well, the continuance, i'd rather talk about it -- >> let's go to closed session. >> i don't want to belabor the point, but i didn't get to quite fully answer your question. if i could add one
3:38 am
last item. you had asked about civil service commission, their interest and in particular one of the questions they passed to the department as well, if this commission, the police commission did not sustain counts two, three, four in the that means inspector leans claimings which he made in his defense on those three specifications that he or to be credible and of course we don't have any specific findings as to why the commission did not sustain two, three and four so some members of the civil service commission expressed and opinion that clearly it must be the case so the police -- commissioner marshall, i think we're getting -- >> the police commission is not in a dialogue with the civil service commission. we have
3:39 am
separate responsibilities and whatever the civil service commission may or may not have asked the department is separate from what -- >> instead let's go to closed session to talk about it. >> you may have deliberations in closed session. >> i would ask that we do that. >> i don't want to say anything more about civil service commission, 'cause you've asked me not to. >> yes. >> there is a parallel issue, it has very important brady -- >> no, sir, it's an entirely -- if there were no proceedings in that other venn you i'd still be asking that question. >> one last question before closed session. how many pages is what you prepared inspector? >> it's just two pages, but if you guys were to continuance, i'd prepare something -- >> right now you have two pages and how many copies ? >> i made more than seven so
3:40 am
there's more than -- >> let's go into closed session please and talk about it. we'll move into closed session. clear the room, please. we're back now in open session with a quorum. >> commissioner marshall.
3:41 am
>> let's hear one more time from the council please. >> john from the department. >> inspector frank lee representing myself. >> let's start with the continuance -- no continuance this evening. we will finish the merit tonight. inspector lee, we have decided to take your responses to the police commissioners and fact finding facts in the case, we decided to do it. let's just put it like that. and we have looked at taking a look at them. we've taken a look at the changes suggested
3:42 am
by department's council and we had a discussion about the findings of fact amongst ourselves as commissioners and we have several proposed changes to miss blitz's document, which she will now read, that i think we have reached agreement on. i'm going to ask her to read those. >> thank you commissioner marshall. so referring to inspect or lee's information you're referring to the two page written document that he brought you this eveninging. >> that's correct. >> you reviewed them before making your determination here. the edits that the commission has agreed upon to the draft findings that are dated
3:43 am
november 11, 2013, are as follows: on page 14 in footnote 48 there is a cross reference to footnote 47 and instead it should read it is a cross reference to footnote 46. on page 13 at paragraph number 38 after the phrase the commission finds that the following phrase will be inserted, "in sustaining this
3:44 am
specification, it is derivative that, and then the remainder of the paragraph remains as written. on page 16 at paragraph number 55 the same phrase will be inserted. after the existed phrase the commission finds that, the phrase will be inserted, "in sustained this specification, it is derivative that,". then on page 22 part of the paragraph numbered 62 at line 12, the reference to department
3:45 am
general order 2.01 rule 10 is changed to department general order 11.01. those are the edits as i understand them from the commission. >> for the record record -- yeah, so -- i believe that's what we discussed. did you hear any differently. >> i want to be clear, when we said we took the two pages, it's just that we read them. >> list as any work considered. >> with those amendments, i would move in /aeu adoption of
3:46 am
the findings of fact as amended by the reading miss police just gave. >> second. >> want to take role? >> vice president terman. >> i. >> commissioner chan. >> i. >> commissioner kingsly. >> i. >> commissioner marshall. >> i. >> motion passes unanimously. >> that concludes this matter. the findings are adopted. thank you very much. >> next item mr. secretary. >> that will be a closed session item mr. vice president, next, 6b. >> commissioners, as there are not really any matters and we have already engaged in some closed session activity, i would say that we put this one off until the next meeting.
3:47 am
is that okay? >> yes. >> i'm fine with that, sir. >> vote -- the next item please. >> item seven, vote to elect whether to disclose any or all discussion on item six held in code session . >> move on non disclosure. >> second. >> can we do that or need role call? all in favor? >> i. >> we don't need role call. >> closed. the next item please. >> item eight adjournment. >> so moved. >> second. >> we're adjourned. thank you.
