fully disclosed. last night at the ethic's commission meeting, there say closed section, with a lobbyist who did not make those disclosures, this is a way to help the public to make sure everything is done in a transparent way. thank you. are >> thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon, supervisors, susan guard, i'm the chief of policy, with the department of human resources, we did submit a memo, which you have in the committee packet i wanted to speak to a few points today. first of all i wavented to say thank you to supervisor avalos your staff and the city attorney's office for working with us on some of the concerns we have. of course we do support transparency and open government initially, we had two concerns with the changes, one was about labor meetings that are governed by the myier's

brown act, that is the change to the language, we really appreciate that. we also had a second concern which is around confidentiality, of personal meetings, we continue to have concern about that, unintended consequences, we might have as a result of that. there was some language that we proposed that you graciously considered. and propose different language, for the sake of clarity, our language that we proposed would have said would reveal personal information not subject to disclosure. so the language that originally your office proposed had the phrase "would interfere with an individual's right to inte tigs government" and also would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal prooifty,

while the recent one, constitute an unt warranted invasion of personal personal privacy, is taken out of the language. pardon me on behalf of the human resources correctordirector, if there is an equal opportunity director, we know handles the complaints for the issues with the city -- say there is a meeting in the calendar with the hr the er director, the labor director and specific manager, anyone requesting the calendar, can make an asewages rightly or wrongly why they're meeting, so we have concerns about the effect it could

potentially have on our ability to hear and remedy any of those types of discrimination complaints retaliation complaints or any of those types of personal matters within our purview. >> thank you. with gib ner on this legislation, and want to prose posed by human resource on the subject. >> deputy attorney john gib ner. the personnel, was not submitted to me as a request. i worked on the scope of representation exception that is currently in the ordinance, some of the information about the personnel is covered by the disclosure, our state or local law, it sounds like it's broader, you

would like to accept all meeting, regarding personnel matters, from avoid looking at the attendees, all together. >> yeah, everyone to know who is at that meetings there are meetings specifically where ared to equal opportunity issues, where we need confidentiality, if we don't, it would deteriorate, our abilitied to adjudicate those type of issues, those are something that we don't think the right to petition, we thought about whether the language the right to petition government and expect confidentiality, whether that would cover those situations it doesn't seem like it really does hearing from the city attorney's office we don't think it does that is a matter that i think we need to address as we go forward with the legislation. >> thank you. is there any language you might be able to

work out with mr. gib ner that might assist in strengthening, clarifying that area >> in the next couple of minutes, >> thank you >> thank you >> okay neekz speaker please >> good afternoon, supervise rs i'm richardneath supervisor of the news guild. local 39521, our local member, include scores of journalists, some in our city the associated press and the bay city news service, the journalists job is to be the eyes and ears, of our viewers, and government transparency is an essential tool to do that properly. the sunshine ordinance before you day will strengthen the increase in transparency in this law -- strongly endorses

this and we thanks, avalos, and chair mar, for bringing it i want to propose additional language page 1, 917, after the a, in parens insert all elected public officials -- including but not limited to then you list those, the mayor, city attorneys, etc., then after the board of supervisors, you have another dash and continue and every department head. thank you. >> thank you next speaker please? >> good afternoon, chairman avalos, and supervisor tang, brenda g. friend of ethics

thank you supervisor avalos for you and supervisor's mar's legislation. in relationship to page one line 19, the addition of the word electronic is that going to be an electronic calendar so the public has easier access? it reads currently now, keep a daily calendar, i was wondering, if the addition of electronic calendar might make it easier for public access. thank you. >> next speaker please? >> good afternoon, my name is hope johnson a former chair of the sunshine ordinance task force that is the body that makes recommendations to the board of supervisors on best implementation of sunshine ordinance, which is what you are

trying to change. i'm here to say, this is an amendment, that has been needed more many many years, while it's true that the majority of the supervisors do comply with request for their calendar, as you know, there is after all this time public really wants to know who their elected officials are meeting with it's becoming more and more in public awareness, that is very meaningful a good example is your last item because president brings, has refused, to turn over a calendar she doesn't keep one, and we heard a lengthy discussion about amendments to the campaign laws nobody can have access to who she met with about that. that is really important to people. i'm surprised the the board couldn't agree in some manner to take it upon themselves, without changing the law. i would also like to say, there are a couple of issues here where this is not

like an oral information disclosure, it's still under the public records disclosure. so some of those personnel issues are going to exempt on the california public records act, it's not like they have to address every thing, because of the city disclosure, which the city may address on that level, you still have the option of redacting, and making a reasonable explanation, why you redacted that person's information to protect them. i would like to quickly add, this is also going to be a personal record of each supervisor's true value -- (off the mic) >> thank you. seeing none we

will close public comment. mr. gib ner, if you have language for us to add >> sure. just addressing dhr's, concern, i agree with mrs. johnson, that the catch-all exemption at the end might do the trick but to make sure everyone's on the same page and i think make dhr most comfortable with, we propose adding would reveal personnel information, not subject to disclosure, which i think would address that concern as one of the now, list of maybe five different bases to not list attendees, and meetings >> would reveal? >> woeld reveal personnel information not subject to disclosure after california government goad section 3504,

would reveal personal information, subject to disclosure comma or disclosure under state or -- law. >> can we add that to the amendment? >> so moved >> i will take that without objection. then on the amendment of the whole supervisor tang? >> i made a motion to adopt the amendment as a whole as submitted >> okay we will take that without objection. and on what is the language you wanted to add? no? i think we're good. and on the motion to move forward with recommendation >> so moved >> okay we will take that without objection. thank you. and that's our meeting. >> concludes our meeting for today, >> i want to thank sfgtv, staff,

jesse larson for their work. meating ismea -- meeting is adjourned. >> well, good morning and thank you for coming to the new public safety building our police headquarters in san francisco over the past month i've had the privilege with each of the

supervisors of going through budget meetings and in many of the district we have one more to to complete all of them it is consistent that public safety is on the minds of many of our citizenry in san francisco today, i'm joined by the police chief and staff and suzy love tuesday our office of complaints joyce is here as well and also by the board president london breed and several members of the board of supervisors that are academy with our public safety and, of course our human resources director as well budget season is with us and as we've gone around the different district of city not having

implemented all of them but clear a resounding message that safety will be also a great foundation for any city that wants to be successful and make sure that while we've had those meetings concerning public safety issues of trust has been part of the conversation and issues of integration and clearly the issues that the chief as announced with respect to cultural and incidents across the country where lives have been lost and that conversation has been a part of the public safety discussion in san francisco we enjoy relatively a compared to many other cities a high-level of safety that's due

to the commitment of the chief and officers on a day to day basis we can always do better feel we can do better with officers prompting 21st century policies and procedures and using item to our vandal and making sure we continue on a day to day basis earning the trust of the residents shortly before, after, i took office almost 3 and a half years ago i launched a program called predict interrupt predict and authorize it was an effort to really stem the tide of violation in the city to make sure we talked with our youth have a an alternate and use data to predict where we might know incidents occur and interrupt

that behavior and work with the community to organize better alternatives to violence and to some degree we've succeeded we've developed expensive services for victims of street and family violence and made sure that jobs and job train go forward in an aggressive way and continue a minimum of 7 though jobs automated at the youth everyday and conceding in that we also at the suggestion of our youth reinstituted a cadet program our officers are existed but and recruits and law enforcement right from the community that directly repeals the exit of our city today, i'm here with our explosive your commission your board members and president and

ocii to announce more resources for passive which include increasing the funding for civilian oversight no our ocii and additional training of officers and an additional hundred more police officers on top of the hundred and 50 we already announced for a totaled of 2 heed and 50 additional police officers that will be graduating from 5 police academy classes during the fiscal year of 2015-2016 this those classes will in fact accelerate our goal to getting to our city's charter mandatory full duty officers within the next year and that charter announced it one thousand 9 heed hundred and 71 we have addressed

we're about to add with the cooperation of the board $6.6 million in our next two year budget to fund approximately, one thousand and 8 hundred body cameras for each of our officers on our streets and engage in the public we intend to have this first year go through a planning process that will have as it's goal in implement the 21st century policing and acquire those cameras for every police officer that engages the public this is a role for technology to be playing in laughing u allowing us to build more public trust and transparency and accountabilities with our residents i believe and so does the commission the beamers will

keep our public save and police officers everyday body cameras have not the solution they'll help but not the only solutions we need to strengthen it community trust in a number of ways we'll also need to insure that people's privacy is replaced that not only police officers but the community themselves will feel comfortable with how technology is being used and rolled out that's why i'll announcing today a working group made up 6 our pollens union, our office of complaints and members of the alu invited to join the workshop to report back to the planning commission on the proprietors portfolio for the use of the body cameras and other technologies that help us there

our transparent and accountability i know that those efforts all of them put together insure our residents a more safety community investment and allow our officers to embrace 21st century tools we need to use marshall of the alleged tools for the opening statement will allow them to do more civilian oversight of the police department and identify the kinds of train that needs to happen with our officers on the street together all of those efforts coupled with working with our residents our community policing on more beat patrols identifying the ores eras that come to every one of our district meeting will be replaced in the way we really this out and the way we continue to implement the ideas that come

tlotsd district meeting with that welcome the chief and explain how we're going to roll out and implement chief suhr. >> i want to thank the mayor obviously the same budget reflect our priority and public safety and publics trust and this is near the top the priority to that end to have those stwra two academy classes and staffing by may 2015 to an accelerated plan that was approved by the board of supervisors we deeply appreciate we'll get to done cops count a neighborhood in san francisco that didn't want the beat officers back and see more officers on bikes it is much better to prevent the crime and work with the neighborhood

ward to the body cameras beamers offering president obama policing presented it's report they spoke to the fact in their technology and social media what braemz go duo for police officers and the community the reduction of a study recorded that the complaints go down almost 60 period of time when beamers are in place that president report the next president of the united states under the clinton yesterday recommended that all sorry that was objective laughter it all police officers in the united states should wear cameras it's a win-win situation that protects good people on both sides

officers know they're wearing them their behavior is going to be better and telling the accepts they're on camera the citizens about on behalf of better all but way around better for a police citizen interaction to the end the delta we'll have to arrive another a policy that has folks if the alu report and the senior policy analysis cameras to be a win-win helping to protect the public and at the same time protecting the police officer against false acquisition we are a privacy agency we'll work with the stakeholder and bring them to the table as quickly as possible to get the cameras on the officers to work on the trust that's been dates, times, and places over the recent months in

the community in san francisco and in addition to add that to the ocii obviously we're answerable to the city of san francisco and we want our officers to be as i say just so we work cooperating with the ocii and folks with the additional officers keep that in mind open coming down and the additions information from the academy it is appropriate point ocii staffed up what is more work we want those investigations to be appropriate as well 0 so we have other speakers that want to be heard we couldn't get this downey done without the board of supervisors to next up is supervisor london breed. >> thank you, everybody for being here i'm excited about this all outreach the country

i'm sure you're aware of we've had changes with law enforcement. >> sealed because of the incident unfortunate incidents there's been really a challenge with trust and law enforcement of the community and so my concern is for osgood men and women that are trying to do a good job and citizens trying to enjoy the peace and freedom and those cameras will help to create that level of balance you know we need officers 0 out on the streets and need them to be safe and citizens to feel safe those will give the officers the safety they need to make sure those kind of incidents happen and challenges to situation we have to kind of technology that can help us address those cases better i'm hopefully as a result

of the cameras some of the iptsz that the chief mentions that were in the reports the amount of complaints about go down and tool of many we hope to use in the sfoifksz public trust is important and those cameras go a step in the right direction of restoring public trust and make sure that the citizens know if not only are we doing everything we can to increase the number of police officers in our department but add members of the community to the depth to make sure that the accountability is at the forefront i'm looking forward to the support of the from hopefully, the board will support this in the upcoming budget to get in moving and in addition, i know that supervisor cowen is leading the charge to make sure we fund the opening statement because they're the civilian unit of our city that

makes sure they address and deal with oversight i want to be clear to the men and women serve our city we appreciate a lot of the great officers working hard every single day and putting their lives open the line to protect the citizens of city and county of san francisco we have challenges in this country and in this city through this opportunity of providing a kind of resources necessary to repair some of the damage that's been deny with the public trust we'll be a better city thank you and i'm looking forward to mostly on this as quickly as possible. >> good morning, ladies and gentlemen i'm scomploelg i am excited what we're doing not only be acknowledging we are moving into the 21st century in technology to the best we can but it demonstrates we're

listening to our constituents and responding we'd fools to sit here with our head in the sand and what we are doing today is very, very symbolic and step in the right direction this is not the only tool we'll be fiscal year on cameras are a small step in the right direction it is critical we provide our officers our men and women that are scorn to protect and serve with the training they need with the unbias conscience and awareness that is in all of us the other thing we're finally having a much needed dialog around race and how it relates to the justice testimony here in san francisco we're talking about today about cameras but other patterns that are at the table in discussion how we can strengthen our justice system to

be fair and just for everyone that is the doves and the public defender and the law enforcement such the sheriff's department it is also critical that we arm the folks with the tools this year need that includes insuring that joyce hillary clinton the director of the office of complaints has the tools she need to investigate and prosecute those who are doing wrong i want to applaud and show any support to the men and women that serve san francisco by also want to give voice to the need we need to recruit and retain and promote diversity within our ranks this is also equally as critical we need to insure we're creating a policy 3 is fair and justice when it comes down to the materials we need to insure

the integrity is maintained once the data is captured and stored there's a lot of work ahead of us mr. mayor i applaud you for making in a budget priority and make sure we're license to our residents and responding in a thoughtful way thank you. >> so oneself it is spoken to there's going to have to be policy and going to have to be something that the city has a lot of input the policy body and the plain clothes it's wanting a suzy loftus to quote from the president report opens 21st century policing if i can find it agencies need to consider ways to involve the public in ways of the protection of the privacy and civil liberty as windshield work that
