and the reduction of the step adjustment factor and thank you. >> thank you, director hicks, it was good to hear in the beginning of the presentation, the santa rosa see it as the gold standard but i think that we again, we you and i have been in front of the board of purposes with regarding the audit or's report and the recommendations and you have made it happen, despite not being able to leave up the recommendations but i will go with you to the board of supervisors and i think that other commissioners will and i don't think that you should take an $80,000 hit on your budget and we will support you on that and give you my word and you are doing a great job with what you have and we want to be the gold stand sxard that means a good police department and i think that they go hand in hand and i think that we are going to have to support you on that and you have my reward and i will be here with you as i have done in front of the board of supervisors committee and just one quick question, with

the 40-plus percent increase in tickets that we have seen, has there been an increase in occ complaints if you can tell. >> i know that they are not logged in yet. >> but it is a little soon. but, the... the complaints are increasing, they are, i would say, i don't want to say percentage wise, but they are higher, this january, than they were last january. and there are a fair number of complaints that we received from individuals who are not happy with the tickets they received and so if those types of tickets are increasing i know that our complaints will increase as well. >> thank you director. >> commissioner loftus? >> thank you, director hicks for always thorough and really helpful reports. and this might be located in one of the reports but i just wanted and you might not and you might need to get back to me but one thing that i noted

is the cases that were sustained in 2013 i have 15 in the calendar year 2013 that does not mean that the investigation came to some conclusion where a case could be sustained. and so my question is does it list out somewhere what those charges were sustained for within 2013? >> commissioner loftus, i'm not sure that i understood your question you asked. you said that there were, no there were, oh, in 20, no, there were 43 cases that were sustained in 2013, 15 were from cases filed in 2013. and 28 were from cases filed if 2012, and at a total of 43 sustained in the calendar year, 2014, including that. >> yeah. >> so of those 43, thank you for that clarification, do we

have a list of what they were sustained for? so that we can have a sense of neglective duty or accessive force in terms of the policy implications of that and what we can learn from that. >> commissioner loftus that will come in the annual report that i will deliver in march. >> that is what i was remembering from last year. >> commissioner kingsley? >> director hicks, thank you for your wonderful and detained report as usual. i like what you have done with the case, but i think that you have restructured that a little bit that kind of clarity is helpful. >> do you know of the date yet where the board of supervisors hears, the budget, is that set yet? so we will hear in terms of the department and the occ, you know, when that will be >> commissioner kingsley, i am not aware that the calendar has

been issued >> i don't think that they have determined the order that they will present but when they present we will go on the same day. >> we don't know what that day is yet. okay. >> just out of cursosety, obviously with the drought the way that it is, we all have to be conserving water, and it is, and i applaud the mayor's leadership in targeting a ten percent, you know, reduction, i just curious as to how we measure that in terms of, or does the occ get a separate water bill? just kind of curious about it? it is just sort of, you know, is there a way of measuring that? you know, commissioner kingsley in buildings that have multiple tenants in city buildings, and they do meter by department. and so, we are advised where we are. and we don't get billed, it is

just part of our rent, but it is an awareness of how much water we are using and so, what the real estate department will be doing, is auditing the various city buildings to determine whether low flow faucets and etc., are in place, and taking whatever measures are necessary and then at the sfpuc, they did indicate that there would be incentives for individuals to retrofit and that they were getting the word out and in social media, and on the website and they would be providing information to the city departments so that we could publish it on the website as well. >> good, well it is important that we will be able to measure whether we are being good citizens too. any way, thank you for that. >> you are welcome. >> >> low flow toilets. >> yes.

>> and some, rebates for appliances such as driers and the like, and the point that was made today, was not only do we need to conserve with water, but also with the electricity, because with this drought, the water that had been used for generating electricity, may not be there. or will not be there. and so, we are going to need to not only reduce in our water, but in our power. and that san francisco fortunately, is in much better shape than other cities but that does not mean that san franciscans, should not conserve and the puc has and san franciscans to reduce water consumption by 10 percent. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. >> call line item 4 c. >> thank you, director. >> commissioner reports and

discussion, commissioner president's report and commissioner's report. >> i have nothing new to report this evening, commissioners do you have anything that you would like to report? >> you first. >> dr. marshal. >> this is just a perspective comment, i have recently was asked to go back to new jersey to work around a violence issues there and let me just say, this is not to disparage camden or to make san francisco feel good, but to feel good, but, they have or had 67 homicides in 2012 and 58 in 2013 and they have a population of 80,000 people. now, we had 800,000 people and we had 48, homicides here.

i guess if you did the numbers, that would be like 660 homicides for that population in new jersey they have a housing project that they call little iraq and that is so bad that the police had to go in by helicopter. so, this is really to say you know, a lot of drug issues obviously, and a lot of drug issues there and this is to say thank you to all of the citizens of san francisco and to the department here, for not and for the safety issues that we have we have a lot to do and when you go to a place like that it could be worse, and so just kutos to you and the city and the department. >> thank you. >> commissioner turman? >> i don't make the comments but i really do want to call out that this is a really special time in the department,

because not only are we promoting about 74, 75 folks and celebrate that later this month, in february. but i do want to particularly note that command charlie was promoted to deputy chief and i want to congratulate him and he is a gentleman and hard working and he is much deserving of this promotion and i also wanted to congratulate commander for her promotion to commander as well. and i would be remiss if i did not say that i wanted to congratulate my friend and michael beal on his service to the department and his retirement, i was able to attend his retirement luncheon and since the day that i came on this commission he has been very helpful, and he has been a really hard working, cares about the officers and cares about this department and

deputy chief beal will be extremely missed and so please pass on his congratulations and i hope that he has a wonderful retirement. >> thank you very much, commissioner. >> commissioner loftus? >> so i beg the indulgence of my colleagues the report is of a personal nature, my mother, on 50 days ago on this day when she was 19 years old decided to come to the united states of america and make

i noticed that the secure community report came out and i

think that this is largely due to commissioner turman and kingsley organizing ourselves and the report that we need and i like that this came out and i know that the department put a lot of time boo it and i want to be sure that we calendar it for the next meeting. and i do have just one question in there that i would like to ask. >> definitely. >> and thank you. >> we will put that on for next week. >> i have had a discussion, regarding the department general order, regarding the first amendment activities for the officers, on and off duty, social media, and they are working on that, and thank you for the update on that and we will get that on calendar as soon as it it is complete and it is a very complete issue because the officers do have rights and we have to balance that with the fact that they serve the public and they are technically officers, 24-7 and so, it is an issue that we are going to tackle but we are taking our time and making sure that we are doing it right. >> anything further? >> commissioner turman? >> and i al want to bring to

everyone's attention that friday is the 2014, african american read in and it is a tradition... and it goes back 30 years. and the problem is partners for the last 50 years or so, and san francisco unified school district, and it is a program in which the community leaders go into the classrooms and read along with children. and it is a special time i have done this for the last five years and i know that the chief participates a well and so pleased that this year, every single elementary school in san francisco and every single classroom has someone reading and we have a wait list but i have signed you all up for next year. so p they will be connecting you and i hope that you can do it. >> great. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> okay, ladies and gentlemen. >> could i open this up two? >> yeah.

>> what you have been waiting for. >> any public comment regarding line items 4 abcd? any public comment regarding these item? s hearing none, public comment is closed. call number five. >> discussion and possible action to terminate the assistant patrol special status of moises romero action. >> good evening, officer brown, how are you? >> good evening. >> what is our update? >> so this is kind of in a gray area, this is an assistant patrol special who was appointed but never sworn in and never given a star, never given an id and never worked a day. and from what i understand from talking with the inspector here, he was trying to work for homeland security and going through the process of both of us for the same time and he got that job first and so he decided to do that job and that is what he conveyed to the inspector during the april

first hearing. when he was appointed. >> myself, and the previous liaison have tried to contact him and i have left him messages, and sent him e-mails but he never responded. so it is more of a housekeeping issue to just get him off of our roll because he is not particularly an assistant and he was just appointed but never sworn in. well, you know, when this first came up, i reminded everybody that in the federal system they are not allowed to have secondary employment and i think that it was virtually impossible for him to be a special and that is what he figured out. so any public comment regarding this? >> hearing none, do i have a motion? >> so moved and i just wanted to say thank you, and i appreciate how hard you are working on organizizing the patrol specials and how often you have been coming to the commission and i appreciate the hard work. with that i move for us to,

let's go back to the motion here and to terminate this assistant patrol special. >> second. >> all in favor >> aye. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for all of your hard work. >> and please call item 6. >> public comment, on all matters pertaining to item 8 below, closed session and including public comment on vote, whether to hold item 8 no closed session. >> a public comment regarding our closed session? litigations related matters and disciplinary related matters that are confidential and protected by the police officers bill of rights and the california supreme court? >> hearing none, public comment is closed. >> do i have a motion? >> i move that we go into closed session. >> second. >> all this favor, aye. >> thank you very much, ladies >> we are back, do i have a motion in >> to not disclose. >> do i have a second. >> second. >> all if favor. >> aye.

>> before we call the last line item, which is the adjournment, as i stated earlier in the agenda tonight, we are adjourning in the memory and the honor of sergeant michael j. hutchins san francisco police department who lost his battle to cancer. who left and leaves behind his wife, his three children, his father, and part of the police family and his sister. and so, he was a great officer, and that is the third officer that we have lost to the battle of cancer recently. and you know, you often wonder, you know, what causes these pools of cancer clusters to happen? but i want to thank him and his family for his service and he was a good, man and i want to adjourn in his honor. >> do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you very much.adjourne.
