districting. commissionering lot us led through the redistricting thing and that is incredible. they were saying you are not taking those officers from us. you won't do that to us. we want this and that and you hear how people are concerned about their district and station and officers. it is theirs and it is real. i enjoyed working on that. there is just a [inaudible] eis, push back on that [inaudible] nobody likes statistics but i think when we put together and put in place that showed there are indicators we need it look at. one of the leading indicators was a tragic incident and that is what we need to look at so the officers don't do anything negative in the community. also we worked on the disciplinary back hog and a lot say that may bow

the greatest accomplishment because there is nothing worse having officer in the department with pending charges. under the prior system the officers would get paid to put in a position whether outside the public and saw them as a cancer in the department because they had a bad attitude and around new officers, hard working officers and said we need to elim nase the back log. there were tricked played by the attorneys, it was having a negative impactthen commission and community and the victims of the offenses wondered where wh will we know what is going on. that took a lot of work and commissioner hammer and chief gas onsaid take a lookt the cases closer and chief suhr he agreed the police chief can only give up to 10 days. a lot of the sense are essentially between the 10 deigns and

termination but the chief can't make that termination so we have settlement conferenced and the chief says you did it was wrong and here is where i stand. i can't give more than 10 day but think it is 90 day or 30 day case. you need to retrain. we will terminate you and that is why you are probably seeing more resignations with charges pending. that is important because that is public trust. they need to knee the commission we are quiet and don't have much puplicity- >> i think if you were to publicize or send out a press statement officer so and so is terminated the media would pick it up, social media would pick it up so i want to charge you with the duty of getting the social media policy in place because i think it is critical.

>> everyone is getting a amber alert. >> i think that important we do start to publicize that information t. is quite and frankly the community receives it as a it being swept under the rug and i know no policy that prohibits the public knowing this information. >> i think that get-most are lawyers and thank god for dr. marshal and commissioner [inaudible] who are the logical people. there is only so much you can say so we we have restrictions and don't put out press releases. imagine the press release said 3 of the 4 most recent texting scandal have resigned because they had charges pending. the public need know

that and love to the hear that and show the system is working. the question is, i had a conversation with supervisor breed which was a great conversation and she suggested we be better in public relations. >> absolutely. people who are testifying about the information and is only because of the relationship that where have with you and other members that i am able to-get the nrfgz information but think it is critical and builds the luvl of trust and transparency that people feel is just not in existence. we need to do a better job of communicating disciplinary actions. i want to talk about a disciplinary action that is recent. earlier this year there was a officer that paroles the castro that was caught on video driving drunk and running away from the scene.

do you know the situation? >> i do and again, we are getting the quasi-judicial capacity. [inaudible] what i know is what you know from the public- >> i'm not asking for it details the case, what i do want to know is the processes to which the disciplinary process. i think you can talk to us about that. >> the process is that the police department has done their investigation and there is criminal charges filed by it district attorneys office. what happens is the district attorneys office, those charges stay our proceeding because the officer has criminal charges pending >> is the officer on duty? >> the answer to that question is no. >> okay. >> those are criminal chargespeneding so that takes precedence

because the officer has a 5th privilege where we can't bring them forward in our matter. suffice to say we are able to take judicial note js follow what happens in the courts and reach our disposition. without getting specific if it is a crime of moral turpitude where one doesn't tell the truth it is clear and made to all officers domestic violence, job is over with. >> move toog the next question, what type of bad behavior must a officer go through to reach a termination point? before they get to a termination point i know there is due process. what takes place to prevent a officer from getting back on the streets and dog doing their job? >> the commission. >> maybe you can talk about your thought and thought process because in particular i think about the

officer involved shooting and that have happened in recent past and how the bayview community expressed out rage and disappointment there is a officer involved in a officer involved shooting at another location and assign today the bayview community. does the police commission have oversight onthality? that? >> we do not. that is operational and for example the commissioner loftus told us we dont tell how tostaff people. at the ond thf day we get the problems when they make their way to us. unfortunately we can't tell the chief where to put people or where not to put people but i think there is pretty strong policies in place that i don't know in the officers involved what the background or status nor can i comment until we see the case in front the commission but have to put

faith in the command staff that they do the right thing who assign officers who have issues and if they don't it go tooz the commission and we make the appropriate determination >> you are unique in the sense that i believe you probably served under 3 chiefs as a police commissioner? >> came in with commissioner fong and-chief fong and then i was part the process that brought chief gas gone here and chief suhr. >> you had a opportunity to witness 3 different leadership styles. has the commission-within the 3 leadership styles is there one that a better fit for san francisco? >> i think all 3 are very different. chief fong is probably one the most incredibly organized understanding of all the department general orders. she is a incredible leader andipe

rr bias because my father was her partner so very bias about chief fong. she did a excellent job in a touch time. she came after a incident in the city and led the police department with a steady hand >> what was the incident? >> after the fuheata gate. i was a prosecutor but not involved. she was a leader, a quite leader. she turned all the disciplinary matters over to the commission. i think she wasn't a public personae and had chief gas gone that brought great change that were implemented about how the inspectors were move thood the district stations and he brought more of a los angeles type of policing >> does that work well in san francisco? >> it worked to a certain extent in terms of he bettered the system that the law enforcement officers had. brought in [inaudible] and more

accountability. some will be critical that accountability may have caused problems. police officers willing to complain about anybody or anything. that goes back to the the issue we deal with. what happens when they are in for a while? he was more of leader i call the la style. he wasn't like the next chief greg suhr. greg suhr walks athround community and in the uniform 7 days a week. greg suhr has a big heart and knehe is effected by all the things that happened more so than most people thenk. greg led by what he did as a police officer on the street for respect for the folks on the street and greg is more of a compassionate leader maybe to his detriment. all 3 are very different and the question is what is there best leadership style for

san francisco. maybe a question of all 3. >> i want to talk about-what is your position on tasers and use of tasers by the police department? >> my position is we need one more level of use of force before the officers use their fire arm. i have been through the taser debate twice. initially i didn't think it was a good idea and saw how the debate is frame jd narrowed and the chief made the recommendation that only used in circumstances with they deal with someone in a knife, not if a officer is taken by the street and fighting with them. i'm not a police officer but i heard from the expert squz listened to everybody and if you could find

me one more item whether it is a net, a shield, a magic wand that put our officers in a position where they are safe and the public is safe that they don't have to use the fire arm then we should have it. if that is a taser that could be the answer. chief suhr put forward in a way that ges to extremely well trains cit senior officers so don't have to worry about patterns of abuse. tasers have a camera and caept wait for the cameras by the way. i have asked for cameras for years. i learned-when i was a young attorney 100 years ago we represented a police agency and there were officers with tape recorders and taped people and every time there were a complaint they played the tape. i think the cameras are awesome. commissioner loftus walked

through the process. we will see things that are not pretty. the use of force isn't pretty but we'll see what happened >> i remember the diswugz about the body cameras there was a discrepancy i think within your board, your commission where-correct me if i'm wrong, it is some months, but if i remember the-there was a question whether the chief of police would have the authority--[inaudible] the question is, does the chief of police have the authority to review the footage? >> the issue is twl officers have a opportunity to review the footage prior to drafting their report. i think everybody was inken census they

do it in all cases but use of force or a officer involved shooting and heard from the expert squz had presentations from everybody involved and buy in from the community. thepublic defender and aclu and san francisco bar said they shouldn't have the opportunity and had professors on law if forcement side and persaid why not. we reached a compromise and the compromise is it up to the chief or his or her edesinginate to determine whether those officers can look at the video. i think that is important because if it is clearly a terrible incident that the chief said he thinks this is like the bart shooting, the officer shouldn't be able to take a look at that video. >> the bart shooting? >> in that case they would want

let them see that. the question is it is a term of got yeah and my realty is the video will show what the video will show. my input is having investigative officer involved shooting and sat in that room all most 20 time squz the officer said i fired 5 rounds. they are never right, it is 2 round or 1 round. the officers are articulate their feelings but don't see why they can't see the video, it won't change anything. if it is a bad situation that is the chiefs choice to determine that. it voted unanimously on that. >> thank you for that. do you support the call for independent investigation to be conducted by attorney general california state attorney general [inaudible] harris to perform?

>> absolutely not. i think it is a body if prescribed by law we have no problem as a commission hearing from anybody else, any other investigation- >> so you do support the call? >> yes i do. >> okay. you said no. >> we'll list toon anybody we think is independent and think that is what we'll get if attorney general [inaudible] who where hold in highest esteem >> supervisor mar has a few questions. >> thank you, supervisor mar. >> let me start by thanking you for the years of work as president and all the work. i think your efforts to understand the officers and families and how incredibly stressful and the toll it takes on people is valuable for the police commission. i think as you humanize chief suhr who i like

as a person i want to take a moment to humanize luis gon gorea who passed because of the police shooting. i bow that jenny freeden balk and coalition on homelessness have brought the issues up because he was from yuke tonprovince in mexico. there was mental illness involved in his killing and eechbthen homeless outreach team call #d tin and there is dispute about the amount of time the 7 or sow round were fired at him. my question is the crisis intervention team, why wouldn't they be at the scene and de-escalation be used in that situation? i guess i have so many questions like many people raised in the town hall jz as a police commissioner i wonder how you

balance thinking about lives and families of officers in the field but also people from the communities that may have mental illness. one concern i said is officer clean up the mess and i think i don't view people with in homeless encampments or mental illness or substance abuse issue as a mess. they are people that need support and help and just wondering if you may respond to that comment you made. >> yes, supervisor, i saw a incident in the street and there a article where i watched a homeless man in the street. i'm sensitive of the issue of people living on the street. i'm very bothered by it and come i talk about theophorouss are called in to clean thup mess that is term they have to deal with people that are at the lowest points whether or not they are

committing a crime or homeless or mental health, we expect the officer tooz come to assistance and help them. i feel that every victim on the street. i spnt 19 years as a cross curt thinking about the victims, agonizing about the victims. we go to public meetings and had one in the richmond scr people say we see so many homeless people that appear in mental health crisis and need our help. i think that is a huge issue in the city and something that bothers me as a commissioner in the city and catholic. with i sit there and get the officer involved shootings i can't tell you i'm not the only commissioner-we feel for those individuals and we do humanize them and why we do what we do.

it is just the hardest part of being on the commission. we think about everybody. mario woods. alex nieto. after the shooting of alex nieto we had a community meeting probably the most contenses. i talked to his father and looked in his eye father tofather and saw his loss. that is something i went on my own and did because i can't imagine where he is at and hope i never have to imagine that. >> can can ask about the question president loftus brought up about the culture needing to change and change needing to happen. you mentioned the second texting scandal at least 3 of the officers resigning. i think that is a good thing but not if we don't address the systemic and

cultural problem. >> that is why i talked about multifaceted approach. i think every officer in the department with best intentions and have a good screening process. they go through a psychological evaluation and background check. ium think that we are hiring a lot of officers. i would like to see go back to hire people that lived in san francisco. i think that you are more sensitive to san francisco values if you have been here for a prolonged period of time. i think that is the way it used to be about the law said you have to hire from different counties so think we need to be more careful because you will hear from rick baker who told me and spoke to reverend baker many times and he in is the bayview and can tell the young officers look afraid because they are

not comfort in the city. those are things we need to look at. we node oo continue to monitor in the early intervention system if there is a problem and sent the message if there is a problem you will be terminatedment we need to catch this and [inaudible] i think in my opinion there are 2300 officers and there will be bad apples. and hope and pray it isn't sustmic but we'll do our best to eliminate those. if that needs officers needs to be terminated we'll do that. >> you have view you are not sure it is a systemic problem? >> we talk to the officers all the time and hear there is problems. is it 200 or 300 officers? i can't answer that. 50 officers? i don't know. we'll route that out and figure what the issue is. >> want to follow up with

supervisor cohens question about the departmental general order. i think out of the town hall many people were concern about the community engagement on tasers, but now it seemathize departmental general order changes or revisions are being done with the tasers involved and they are urging pliting off of tasers. how do you feel about that? >> we are discussing that now. a lot of people are worried about having tasers as part the equation. what i am here to say is find anything that givers a level of use of force so the officers don't center to use fire arms, because fire arm is dead ly. a taser can be deadly, we know that. the arrest process people died from heart attacks without being taized or touched or hit so it a stressful situation so we need to find what is there

and discussion and conversation will it effect the ability to go forward if we have the taser thrz and i'm open minded to see what direction we go. we sit and review this and wonder would we be here today >> thank you so much. >> thank you. i have 10 more question for you. any other comments or question snz seeing none i think i'm going to open up to public comment and i do have a couple cards. several cards. thank you very much commissioner. if they are not here i'll go down had line. we had commissioner julius therman, petra dejesus and dr. joe marshal. reverend richard baker, reverend brown.

[inaudible] john monroe and rachel killshah. >> good afternoon supervisors tang, cohen and mar. my name is julius turman and vice president of police commission. as you have seen here as emphasized, commissioner loftus approaches this commission from a very community based voice and as you can see balanced from the other side is commissioner mazzucco who focuses a lot on the department and how the policies and procedures effect the officer population. together having served as a vice precedent under both of these commissioners i can telt you that it is a equal balance between the two to make sure that the outcomes, the work we do as a commission is both effective,

audience driven and accomplishes the goal. there is a lot of work to be done in the police commission. we understand that we are at a critcome time critical time in san francisco and the nations history. we need commissioners like commissioner mazzucco who understand the officer perspective from being raised in a house of officer to be a prosecutor and working with police officers. commissioner mazzucco is a thoughtful, hard working person who gives so much attention to this commission. we would be a total loss without hisgoidance and urge you to reappoint him. >> thank you very much. >> petra dejesus is on the police commission. i know tippy from when i was a public defender he a

honorable man, fair and smart and i whatia need to understand is police officers have a high rate of suicide and alcoholism and the first responders on the street see a lot of misery and in [inaudible] people don't understand that and commissioner mazzucco is a champion taking caref the officers mental health. the mental health is what makes them get in trouble. i think you need to understand that. he is a prosecutor comes across as a prosecutor and stern and disciplined and compassionate. that is something you don't see and i see that. when we go to the community meetings we sit there stone faced but he is compassionate and takes it in and listens. i disagree with him many times but we are respectful on the commission and list toon each other and sometimes i

move and he moves and sometimes agree to disagree. as president the commission when we brought george gas gone in a out sider that was huge and there was a lot of discussion and threats not to do that. the poa want happy but we did it and brought him in and commissioner mazzucco was part of it. he doesn't get intimidated and has a heart and compassion for both sides and need to lookthality other sides for officer safety and care and mental health and they are treated well and can make it on the streets. i am here to support him as bell. well. >> thank you commissioner. >> one more time. you know, i talked about suzy having great leadership and same thing with tom. he was the

president for 3 years before suzy. [inaudible] president sparks was great. i think i did okay, but to tippy and now suzy. the commission is like a family and your family you have disagreements and so on so it sft so much disaguments but we get together and you really get to know somebody really closely when you work as a team and work out all the issues that come before the commission and especially disciplinary proceedings. i don't think it is inaccurate you see commissioners supporting the two of them because we rin the room together and know each other and know how we agree and disgrie and work things out and where fr the betterment of the citizens of san francisco and i have been with tom for 8 years and

reducing the back log was huge. cant say enough about his guidance through that process and all the stuff we do on the disciplinary process and bouncing ideas back and forth. there is a san francisco is a huge place with a lot of different personalities and people and they all come together on that commission and produce a great body of work. i said the family and we are a team and you heard about the warriors and say the warriors have a bench of different folks that come together and win and we have to keep the team together. suzy and tom-let's make it happen. >> thank you commissioner and welcome back president loftus >> [inaudible] >> thank you. again i just want to offer something about tippy

mazzucco that he won't say about himself, she brilliant lawyer and so i said that about julius therman. we get the benefit of lawyers people pay unimaginable amounts. i don't know how much they make but it is a lot. when we talk about due process auch times tippy is the person to call and what is the right thing to do. we rely on the city attorney and have not people [inaudible] to make sure we do things right so when we exercise discipline it sticks so it is a huge offering he is making to the sate to attorney to serve and ask you support him. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon supervisor tang supervisor cohen and supervisor mar. richard c baker and one 11

assisted minters at the third baptist church of san francisco where pastor brown serves as the senior pastor. i have known tippy mu zukeee since 15 or 16 years old, played footple ball at sacred heart. at that time it was sacred high school and have the distinction of law longer than you tippy. but i'm here because tippy is not only a friend but he a individual who i admire as a community serve chblt tippy at the ability and knowledge and skill tooz ask the right questions. perhaps it isn't his skill and ability to ask the right initial question but has the ability to ask the right follow up question squz analyze the responses that are given. and his service on the

police commission has been exemplary. i have been a way for a period of time but because of our network at sacred heart high school i know within days when tippy was elected president of the san francisco police commission. also want to say that his parents named him right. they named him after saint thomas and if you all recall saint thomas was a disciple who raised questions upon jesus resurrection and prior to asession. i believe you are jesus if i have to opportunity to analyze your hands and to observe the piecing in your side. >> sorry, i have to give the same amount of time.

>> i'm wrapping up. tippy asked the right questions in order to make our department better and i don't always agree with tippys perspective how the department is being reformed. my perspective and communications with him i encourage him to go beyond reform and enter into the realm of restructuring or police department. to be most responsive to the people who it comes into contact most. and for my viewing have lived in the heart of city in district 10 on oakdale avenue near the intersection with fellp street i saw the african american community comes into contact with the lease often. that isn't only a standpoint of

the communitybying arrested or having violated the law but perspective of victims and we need someone like tippy who understands the [inaudible] with respect to what a police officer experiences but most importantly what the people of san francisco experience when they come into contact with the police. >> thank you for your time and have a plent day. plesant day. >> next speaker, please >> good afternoon supervisors. miriam zukeo thomson and the are 3 of us, frank mazzucco, tip mu azzucco. if you imagine there was a time when my father who is a san francisco police officer and parole man raised 3

children on a parole mans slry. i'm here to provide a different perspective on my brother. i am here to bring perspective of a person i know differently than you know. nothing ever ever has come easy for my brother, he has been the hardest working of all of us. that includes academics and sport, playing football, being a walk on at the football team at cal. nothing came simple or easy and nothing was handed to him. he is a fighter and hard working person and that is why he is who he is today and so well respected. i think the truest measure of my brother is what a man does when else is looking. my brother is a person who buys two lunches one

for himself and fwrun someone in need. he adopts families [inaudible] doesn't talk about it. he is the person who knes i'm a single woman raising 2 children by myself. when he realized my son needed to lourn how to shave he pulled him aside and had the talk with my son. the measure of a moon is what he does when he is asked to do it but when he is called to do it. i hope you will [inaudible] >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> god afternoon supervisors. rachel killshah. i have known commissioner mazzucco for over 20 years. i met commissioner mazzucco assigned to the san francisco police department

inspector bureau and commissioner mazzucco was assistant district attorney and most recently i work with commissioner mazzucco with my role as a police commission secretary. i know commissioner mazzucco or children went to school, his two children and our one son. i know commissioner mu zekeo to be professional, hard working, fair and open minded. takes the role a as police commissioner seriously with desire to keep san francisco and people who live and visit here safe. i too like commissioner mazzucco am a native and one the few police officers who continue to live here. i appreciate the work he does not only on behalf of my role as a police officer but also as a native and resident of the

city. i want to acknowledge that commissioner mazzucco long standing commitment to this commission, 8 years of dedication to serving the people of the city and urge you to continue that continuity with him on the commission to accomplish some of the great things the commission is working on. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. john monroe. i told you i was commissioner secretary for 3 years and was the commissioner secretary when commissioner mazzucco was present to commissioner loftus which was seemless. what i want to talk about is what mu zekeo talked about with commissioner mar about police officers being from here. thursday morning at a

commission meeting commissioner mu zusko called me and asked how do we hire more african american police officers and said is that rhetorical. no. but we fumbleed around that scr both agreed that if they are from here regardless-in a perfect world we would have every station louded with every ethnic diversity in san francisco that spoke our language but that won't happen but if they are from here you have skin in the game and it matters. there are officers that go to incident that may knehow to make that approach better than officers who don't. i have nuther against wallnut creek but it is a big difference. i also want

to say by the way, i went to public school office so i know san francisco and it helped me as a police officer to get ajound to know who i was deal wg because i dealt with everybody. my brother went to galileo and bragged how he can speak mandarin. i was like are you kidding me. where can you do that? you do that here. commissioner mazzucco is right, we need him because he is the senior voice in the commission. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon. martin halren president of san francisco police officer association. i too went to sacred heart but think johnny was ahead of me. that is where i like reverend baker met commissioner mazzucco at sacred heart and reappointed

myself with him when i became a police officers. back in the days of sacred heart as in the da office and u.s. attorney office, commissioner mazzuccos integrity and honesty was never in question. when i had dealt with him at the police commission the same holds true. commissioner mazzucco spear headed the early intervention system which raises red flaigs when a officer is in crisis and that program has been very successful. also spear headed the crisis intervention training in the department and is now spear headed both dgo associated with crisis intervention training. there will be a new dgo hopefully by the end of the summer and also regarding social media. commissioner mu azzucco is at

the forfront. he demonstrated twho things to me and have now doubt that will hold true. the rule of law demonstrated he is extremely fair in discipline and also firm. there are times to be firm with police officer squz they have to get the message and there are individuals in the department in the past that shoulden be police officers and that doesn't hold true with our entire department. we cannot paint it with a broad brush. commissioner mazzucco has rin been very fair but firm, please reappoint him to the police commission. >> thank you very much. miriam jackson. matthew [inaudible]iolaunda williams. david elliott lewis, [inaudible] >> i too went to sacred heart with tippy and here to represent my

father dr. hermann gieggose who was cofounder of lurosa and san francisco police officer. i'm honor rbd to recommend reappointment of tippy mazzucco to continue the service to city and county of san francisco. as a long time civil rights advocate i'm impressed with commitment to building strong police community relations especially with communities of color and maintaining a solid balance of trust and confident with all department stakeholders. for me, it is truly a pleasureer and honor to be here. i'm matthew gieggose and native of san francisco. i'm a educator for 26 years and know tippy over 40 years. i am fortunate to work with tippy. he is role model

to me and san francisco community and character and ethics are at a high standard of excellence warrant reappoint to the commission. commissioner mew zukeoes true measure as a person is compassion. tippy is a advocate of improveic problems and bring forth police transparence and understanding the values and priorities and cultures that exist insuch residents. mr. mazzucco is a caring and disciplined individual that suggest continuity, success for the police commission. commissioner mazzucco will continue to bring transparence and good judgment along with his experience and warrants reappointment >> apologize for mispronouncing your last name. next speaker, please. >> hello. paul etbrown. i'm

also in sport of commissioner mazzucco being reappointed. i want to say that all the times i have come to the police commission and i look at all them that sit up there and as i tell my story i look at suzy loftus i look at the rest of them too and him being one. like i said he is never shown anything that he didn't want to listen to my story and came down and acknowledged how i felt. him and his sister. i always bring the names of the perpetrators who murdered my son and i try to ask all of them, they getting out can you tell me something even though they can't diverge information to me but they do give me hope and he gives me hope also. i don't want to see anybody

else, i want to continue talk toog the same people i have talked to. i'm scared to talk to anybody else. i want to continue seeing him up there because i know i can talk to him if i need to and know he can come down and consol me if he needed to. i built a relationship and don't want to lose that. i ask you reappoint him and keep them both there. susan loftus and her mother. i appreciate them both. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon chair tang, supervaseer cohen and mar. jeff [inaudible] legislative aid of mark farrell office. this was a tough one for supervisor farrell. commissioner mu zekeo is a exception and

mark is requesting appointment. president loftus supervisor farrell has deep respect commissioner mazzucco. it was clear from the testimony today know there is more work to come. proven track record as a deputy district and dist rict attorney. commissioner work would city law enforcement to reduce violent crime. commissioner mu zekeo also helped implement the meaningful reforms to the police department including cit training adopting the vast majority of president obama policing and termination ofophorousers that violate duty as police officers.

just like commissioner loftus, commissioner mazzucco demonstrated he has compougz and passion and reason to lead the commission through these important and trying times and ask you send [inaudible] positive recommendation. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> supervisors my name is sergeantiolaunda williams and representing officers for justice. i stand before you because as a native san franciscan i didvent the privilege to go to a prope prok control school i have respect for tippy. i respect principles outstanding ethics and morals and values and most of all i respect his way of addressing a problem. when i brut a problem to his attention and thatbying i wasn't seeing much diversity in the academy

classes and our complicated answers when asked why are there no black officers in the academy class. tippy took the time all most a hour and a half after a police commission meeting to discuss at great length that problem with me. i must tell you within 3 months we had recruitment on board with the program but so did other police commissioners and to me that shows reform. that shows that he understand it. i'm a member the cit team and crt teams. tippy understand the importance of us bowing guardians in the police department and also understands prestigeeral justice. i thank him for advocating for speaking for serving as a catalyst for change for

officers of color, women and lgbt. i urge you to reappoint tippy mazzucco to the position of a police commissioner. thank you. j >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> supervisors my name is fran cisco decosta, first and formost i like to state categorically that when reappointing the police commissioner especially the police commissioners reneed to find another way. to be frank, when i see supervisors trying to adjudicate on the matter and i have imperical data that they themselves did want come up to a standard and i have data-it isn't only the ethics commission and i find it very hard for

the supervisors to extend something to the police commission. having said that, i worked for the united states park police and i have been attending this commission meetings when they were first held at 850 bryant a long time ago. normally at one time we used to have the whole command staff attend the san francisco police commission and don't have it anymore. maybe they sit at the back. today this police commission and our office of citizens complaints need to step up to address what is happening in san francisco. this isn't about being good or whatever, all of us are god. god.

appointment is expiring. 4 generation san franciscan lived in the sun set park the majorityf the my life. educational is bachelor and mast rer from usf and [inaudible] 32 in the insurance industry requiring 3 years ago and working part time as a consultant in my previous employer. prior to insurance i spent 10 years in education. my professional background helped development communication skills. legislative analysis was also part of my wirk resume and being called upon in my capacity as cochair of the joint legislative committee. this committee made up of commissioners to the commission on aging and adults urfbs and council members and we are charged to discuss track support and report on key legislation impacting

seniors and adults with disabilities. in my capacity as cochair i report to the commission monthly on legislation. as a life long san franciscan i have seen the city grow and change and aware the challenges. my 2 and a 4568 years made we aware the challenges facing department of aging and adult service. challenges trying to balance citizen needs and fiscal challenges and competing priorities. in my two previous appearances i mentioned i want to be solution advocate. i took care of my mother and grand mother as they aged rchlt my mother had a brain disease and learned the challenges of navigating resources. this is back in the 1980's. thing are much better now but still much work to do especially as the population ages. as a student of the [inaudible] institute for life long learning i'm wade made aware of

what great resources we seniors are but mobility and transportation challenges we face 6789 in the first meeting i would never acknowledged i was a senior so i have come a long way. i visited the sun set nutrition program in my role as a council member and sponsored by self for the elderly. the joy laughter and welcoming spirit were palable. what strauck me is how they watched out for one another. they know who was there and wasn't there and who needed a little more outreach and couldn't have been more supportive. i had someone sing to me. they want today know quloo i was and willing to share thoughts and opinions with me and i was able to take those back to the council and that report is filed with dos. one of my major issueicize the accessible. supervisor tang and i discussed this in my original

interview. the architecture of homes where we live are at least one flight up stairs. where mobility issues can make it difficult to get out and be engaged. seniors, adults with disabilities become trapped in their own home jz isolation is no friend of the population the council serves. as i take walk squz as a council member along with participating in sun set meetdings i notice where the vulnerabilities for may be. the pot holes, uneven chroncrete and gophers and length of traffic light have impacts. muni time needed for boarder and existing. the sensitivity of drivers and passengers are significant. elder abruce and fraud.

robeee calls tell me my computer needs to be taken over by moo microsoft or action taken by the treasury department. the council dos and commissioncluberate with wesources in the city to educate service provider on the very topic. this was unknown a few years gow and it was outcome of council discussion. i was glad to be part of those to begin to make difference. the senior population is growing, 18 percent since 2000. the aging babeo boomers is impacting services more than expected thmpt question facing is how to use our resources effectively to meet the needs the greatest number of people we can. if i cr am reappointed i'll continue work with legislative committee, visit

more senior sites i report accordingly. these are in district 4 and outside. i will be a advokit for seniors and adult with disability. i take my role seriously and enjoy the work. when i spoke to the committee 2014 for my first appointment i said there were things i was seeing that concerned me and just grumbling and xum plaining avoiding the realty. i would have those same issues in the near future. serving on the advisory counsel allows me to do something about it. to witness daily work invocation is serve those in need and see when the dos employee of the month is recognized by management and peers. to see san francisco allocate money to take care of the most vulnerable and witness first hands the changes that can be made. it would be a honor to rebe appointed and continue to serve. >> thank you very much for your

>> hearing the answer appointling two members ending february 3, 2018 foocommunity development. two seats and 4 applicants >> two seats, 4 applicants and one person peter cohen not attending. i don't know if [inaudible] if you are here please come up and we will hear your presentation. >> thank you greetings some visors t. is a honor to be here with you. my ancestor came to the united states and planted in south dakota living in a barn until they could afford the funds to build their own home and get their own farm land. my grands mother is a survivor of the depression and

my own childhood is shaped by my parents violent divorce at age 6 and father received a 300 file restraining order from our family due to his life long battle with alcoholism. i came to san francisco and bay area in the way many people who identify transjndser. they don't all go to seminary but knowing the freedom that can #c34 from this area and destrrsty of culture and faith and life style that is practiced in this place was a large draw. as i came to school missed the poverty i lived with and wanted to utilize the healthy baggage i had gained loving family members who struggled with addiction issues and began june 2002 serving the homeless in polk

and tender line and castro. i have learned from the saints and pastors who organized in the tenderloin and created a federal poverty district and the ways they were able to inspire gentally agitate and provide ways that average ordinary people can instill in the homeless. i have so many years of experience and fanc aey certificates i thank my great est experience is someone who can listen. every year for a week i would sleep on the streets to figure out in my bones a bit of what it feels like to navigate the continuum of care in san francisco. i slept in shelters and

held hands with people as they mourned and as faithful san franciscan without fancy caller yz know we can do a lot by cleaning the bathrooms so other people can feed and serve and work. i believe deeply that having someone on this committee who understands 30 percent the homeless population in san francisco , lgbt, a number i'm [inaudible] the laws argued about in other parts of our country. having someone who understands the difficulty of wondering fuf you will get hit in the head with a perceive en if you feel safe in the places you receive the care. i feel very inspired to think about not only the emergency of homelessness but the potential emergency of fires

and homes of ether earthquakes and effects of global warming. i am usually covered in paint and worried i'll track mud on carpet like this because when i learn how the system works will dig in and plant 500 plants for the city the week before christmas >> thank you for doing that >> you joined me. because if we show through our doing and loving that things can get done it inspires people beyaunds the spaces they are in. i know the power of providing beauty in low income housing. i worked with the homeless onmunity gardening with support of mental helths service funds and know the power of letting people share their experiences and it is the only thing i have done for the homeless is to inspire homeless youth

and work with them for two years and a intern in the project was appointed to the youth commission and was just eleblthed this week to be a grand marshal of the san francisco pride par aid, i think that is enough. my hope is that we can draw attention and be someone who can communicate to people regardless whether they live on the lowest side walk or highest skyscraper about why we have to wait sometimes, why we have to follow building policy ies and push sometimes. i also want to bring attention to the dev stailting effects hof it changing of the formulation of federal funds for those living with hiv and aids which may result in

millions of dollars in loss of funds. i hope my service will provide me opportunity to listen, to share wisdom and to empower others. >> thank you. at this time we'll call up all the applicant at once. who ever is still here--thank you for being so patient. >> thank you supervisor tang, cohen and mar for hearing my request for reappointment to the citizens committee on community development. my name is mu quell pin and work with her arrow builders, we are the general contractors building the hospital down the street and saint lukes. my role is to work with local hiring contracting program. i was before you two years

ago seeking appointment for committee spot on the citizens committee for community development and come i spoke with you then it was more about me. i wanted to learn about the processes of how policy was put together. how infrasfruckture the city agency and i did. came in at a aunique period with mayors office of housing and community development and oewd putting together the 5 year consolidated plan. get brian shew rr director here and tip to the staff and the outreach they did to communities but one the joys on the committee was to also assist with outreach. there was 6 outreach events that brian staff organized and

participated in 5. i wents in the community and get what the community needed. one of the most i think interesting and telling exercises that we had is giving each community $5. i wents in the community and get what the community needed. one of the most i think interesting and telling exercises that we had is giving each community member $25-100 in 25 $increment and put it where they thought the money should ge. community involvement and being engaged with the community and development policy was a tremendous learning experience. i also sat in on 3 rounds of funding recommendations. one round where we had a cuts to different programs and saw the impact that had on our service providers. the organizations are strengths to san francisco that they do incredible work and on the committee i gained

respect for them. i really see highlights developing the plan and 3 rounds and being a advocate are 3 areas i feel i contributed in the 2 years but it was a lirning experience and learned so much in that time. if you were to reappoint me i have been thinking about what would i want to accomplish and one thing i would love to do is build bridges befwone the philanthropic community and cbo and government agencies. the general fund is able to back fill some of the work the grantees do, but those timeerize 23409 always good and i think we need to look to new partnerships to make our community based organizations whole i

dhoo do work they do. the other is continue to support the burke at the economic corridor. o rks wd and invest in neighborhoods and anything that can be done to support small business with technical assistance and facade improvement because believe the commercial corridors the character of san francisco. supervisor cohen i don't get locked in my neighborhood, i'm from north beach to bayview and sun set to mission bay and we live in a beautiful place and those corridors are where small businesses and people get a opportunity to work and feed their families. the other area that i would like to see is are commitsy to expand and become a space for dialogue. the scope of the citizens committee on community development is so broad. everything from homelessness to

exnom nic development, work force development. i believe we can open up a space for discussion on the challenging issues in san francisco and hope to be able to make those spaces places to develop positive recommendations where we can develop solutions. gordon from chinese community development center. experts in their field wonderful discussion and coming out of that we can all agree the small site acquisition program is a big success battling the affordable crisis and like to see how we can get

that funded more. two quick points is i believe with the office of economic and workforce development putting out a request for proposals this year on the workforce side. i believe my experience in workforce development and understanding the development community can be very important to the committee and also my experience with community based organizations. i think i have a very unique perspective on the service that the cbo's provide because i was a client and service provider and work for priferbt industry partnering with community based organization. i want to advocate for cbo like [inaudible] or chinese new comers, renaissance sents squr all the work they do. at

this time i'll wrap it up. >> i don't have any questions but i want to comment on the comments that pastor [inaudible] said and mr. pin. i appreciate you sitting and listening through hours of testimonying and comments because your comments statements are so susinkt and to the point. while you were talking i wrote a note saying what have you accomplished or want to accomplish and you said what do i want to accomplish. it was as if you were in my head and was on the body when you before us the first time and you have grown tremendously in a short period of time. i'm happy to support you today >> xae other applicants here today? it looks like just 2. i'll open

[inaudible] save the victorian jz back then we also developed victorian square. in my opinion one the high priorities in the coming years will be maintaining a neighborhood character of the communities and the area of rising rents it will be a challenge to sustain the long time family owned businesses along our traditional business corridors. this is especially true in working class and low income communities. it will take someone who can balance the interest of the developers landlords and community. progress is see-one person idea of progress is destruction another persons eyes and [inaudible] i got mixed up.

i commend your patience. 2 years ago i was appointed to the position on the inhome health services public authority as a representative of the human service commission and 23 i said i didn't know what i was getting into i would be telling the truth it is a most gratifying experience to work with this agency and appreciate the work that they do, to appreciate the wonderful staff we have. our director is kelly dermen, i think some know her. it has been a fascinating board to be on because the people who are on the board represent some of the people we serve and that they are caring and loving consideration for what we do is a example to us all. if i am

lucky enough to be reappointing i will accept it gladly and say thank you very much. >> thank you. do we have questions or comments? thank you very much for your presentation. anyone else who is here please come on up. don't be shy this your moment. i thought we had two other applicant. that is what where thought. okay. >> thank you supervisors. good afternoon. first of all, i will say right off it has been a pleasure and honor to serve on this committee and have learned quite a lot. with

little hezitants because as i talk and attend my health is being robbed of me and i can't really put things into words as i once did. i have worked since 1962 in the city. when i was unable to get out and see people from all walks of life, disabled, victims of violence and homelessness and it has really made me understand all the more reason why we all must be involved and i want to also say that we should get high school students involved. it is very very much a need. perhaps you would like to ask me some questions? >> i would just say in general

are there things you look forward to working on if you are able to continue serving? any issues or things you would thrike continue working on? >> yes. one thing i mention ed not only with this board but also with the mayors disability counsel is the thereare thousands of people who need to be heard, seen, understood and the value of their life even if they cant leave their homes or beds to be involved [inaudible] as well as to health issues. one thing i'm seeing and i have gone through has been that of patience who are abuseed and not fallowed through so they can find a answer and make sure it doesn't happen again.

>> that's okay. thank you. >> sorry? >> i said that is okay. take your time. good to see you commissioner. >> nothing else to add i think we'll-is [inaudible] is that you? okay. come on up. >> all most evening at this point. i have been involved with the [inaudible] for a year or more. my last appointment. things i learned, consumers, notice i said consumers not recipient or client have to be in charge of the care they get.

in the public authority they are. elsewhere they are not. someone else is making a decision on what they need and when they should get it. whether it is the appropriate time for that person or not. i am a consumer. i am 76 now and i live in a hotel, the only one for seniors for sro's. we had a number orphseniors placed in our place that now have different forms or levels of demensia which causes a number of problems for the people who live there and the people who give care. being on the governing body of the public authority we can direct ourselves in

supporting this new need. as uheard and know, there is more elderly people now in the city than there used to be for sure and there will be more. i am concerned about the elderly homeless. they are taken from a navigation center and placed in a sro when they are not stable. now i love the mayor to complete his commitment to develop a respirat care facility for those to be stabilized at before they are put with the population to function with people. we have a thriving program which is a extension of ourselves so we can connect the hospitals, get informed

with social workers at the hospital and inform them of the care we give and how people can be helped this way. i'm going to extend that to more hospital in the next year. the last thing i would say is, during the march meeting they elected me president the governing body and now i see new responsibilities for working out connections with the other entities in the city to get people more aware of what we do and how it could be done to better the lives for people who live independently. i thank you for reconsidering us and i would love to serve another 3 years. thank you. >> thank you very much for your presentation. alright. well i don't see any public comment

but-sorry. yes, public comment on item 7, i won't want to miss you. >> good afternoon supervisors and derek. no one ever says good afternoon to you. i'm patrick [inaudible] from the ihss public authority, the board liaison from the staff and want to thank you for your patience today. all 6 of the applicants patricia and trisha who haets to be called patricia and rita and judith who is at a conference in seattle tat ana and [inaudible] they have been serving on the board so all reapplying and have the full support of not only the public authority staff but fellow board members as well so thank you for considering them today. >> thank you for being here and

tobacco sales permits per district to 45 per district district 3 as most supervisorial district has in excess of that number of what the legislation was developed no ability for an individual with a valid existing permit to move to another location in this particular instance the individual who is hsa had this long-term institution is actually the victim of rent increases and found another location interesting enough in a property he was ones previously located in and i think actually as i look back on code section 19 h1 thing that occurred which is that district 3 is significantly different than the rest of the city in one go profound way i know that supervisor wiener is about to

hear which is that by night we have the same number of residents as every other district in the city again day by virtue of downtown and virtue of the remarkable number of tourist that come to the northeast corner of city we have hundreds of thousands for people by day and had i been around representing district 3 in those days, i might have made an amendment it district 3 should have gun allowed a more significant number but the business is nominated for inclusion in the legacy business registry the binding is in operation i'd like to take the opportunity with no breaks in excess of two years for over a quarter of a century it is a family business run by
