staffing changes -- promotions, mainly, beginning in late september 2017, there have been several promotions within the department. we have a bulletin, it comprises of nine captains, 30 lieutenants and 76 sergeants that have been promoted. i'd like to say congratulations to all the members for their outstand ago achievement. they are a now all in place in their awe assignments and we -- in their new assignments we believe it's going to push us po forward in reducing crime and having a better supervised and better department. a lot of people spent a lot of time and hard work to study for the exams and i congratulate home to. i'll go into recent incidents. wewe have an officer-involved shooting.

noif first at 12:03 a.m. officers assigned to the castro area halloween nighting were alerted of a suspicious vehicle. they approached the vehicle to investigate further. there was an exchanges of gunfire. one officer a nine-year veteran assigned to the crime scene investigation unit was transported to the hospital after suffering gunshot wounds. he underwent surgery and is listed in critical but stable condition. an adult male was also transported to the hospital for gunshot gunshot wounds. he had life-threatening conditions and is still in the hospital. our officer is it recovering well and i'd like to thank the public and

commission for all the support and well wishes to the officer and his family. that was and is appreciated because the support is on going. thank you for that. we have a press release. release 17. >> 175-c that was issue to the public andpub anddepicts some of the etched. we had a town hall meeting in the castro neighborhood to give those facts to the public and explain to them what facts we knew at the time in the officer-involved shooting. i'm going it talk a little bit about the meuch aid in sonoma county.

as you know, that was i daunting challenge for the entire region. the north bay fires. officerses were asked to provide mutual aid. i want to give a synopsis of what that entailed. we had 561 members of the police department that responded to mutual aid and we had several reserve officers and motorcycle officers included in the number. it went on for 14 days. our department ran four overlapping shifts for the first two days and there after, 12 shifts -- 12-hour shifts back-to-back shifts of 35 officers. our responsibilities included traffic control, looter prevention. evacuations of people in harm's way of the fires. evacuation of pets and livestock and food and supply deliveries. an additional 60 members of the

department acted as support staff of the d.o.c. with documenting and fill fating the mutual aid requests. the numbers do not reflect those members that responded on more than one occasion. there were 1200 and -- sorry, 13,235 overtime hours used on mutual aid and that cost is $1.2 million. our staff or emergency vehicle operations staff facilitated the use of five training vehicles to remain at the incident, operations command and it alleviated us having to shuttle cars back and forth. that helped. we were happy to be a part of the relief. we had a lot of thank yous and well

wishes. we'll continue to give relief to those in need in the north bay. next significant event or -- significant event we had our sfpd and walgreen kickoff for the 2017 holiday toy drive on november second. in collaboration with walgreens, they launched the annual holiday toy drive to benefit children in need in our city from november second to december 19, sfpd will accept donations of new unwrapped toys at 67 walgreen locations. last year we netted 6000 items. we hope to exceed 6,000 this year because that is a needed and welcome thing for our children of our city. next i want to highlight a significant arrest a narcotics arrest that occurred november first.

we served a search warrant resulting in the arrest of alejandro alvarez, our officerses seized two pounds of heroin, 70 pounds of methamphetamines. alvarez is booked for narcotic-related charges including possession of narcotics with intent to sell and maintaining a place for purpose of selling narcotics. we hope it will put a dent in some of our narcotic activity on the streets of san francisco. i'd like to finish by pointing out a new addition. this is based on the commission requests in terms of how we contact the public on our cold cases. based on some of the discussion in prior commission hears and meetings, we have now initiated a cold case feature

to our social media site. mainly facebook and twitter. and we have copies over there for the public but these crime bulletins now are posted on our social media and we're starting off with a crime bulletin for mrs. brown's son. that's a fitting way to start the social media site. this will be on going in terms of getting this information to the public and keeping it in front of public. hopefully we can get clues some of the cold cases. i want to thank our staff for putting it together and be being responsive to the community. that's finishes my chief's report. >> president turman: commissioners, are there any questions for chief scott?

>> yes. >> president turman: commissioner melara. >> is there a way to be reimbursed for that money the city spends in helping other areas? or is that just something that happens between cities and counties that we just help each other? >> if we are requesting reimbursement because it was declared a state of emergency, reimbursement does apply. that usually takes time but we're requesting and that is part of our protocols and structures. we have to have the documentation in order to get reimbursed but we knew that going in so we went time making sure we were staffed for the proper documentation. that is a fitting question and we are seeking reimbursement. >> president turman: reimbursement from pt state? or o sonoma? or insurancesonoma -- or sonoma or state? >> this is deteared a state

state of emergency. so we're -- i think there are federal funds available for that. but it does take time. >> i. >> president turman: i believe you have another presentation? >> we'll introduce the sergeant for the second part of our presentation. >> chief scott director henderson. chief of staff, i received the risk management office which i will provide today's second and third quarter 2017 fdrb finding, recommendations and ask sergeant kruder to gift presentation. i want to introduce two new members. sergeant torres and christina franco in the audience. they are two new editions to the ois team and rmo.

>> welcome a aboard. thank you for joining us tonight. good evening sergeant krudo. >> good evening president turman. all right. president turman, commissioners director henderson chief scott, i'm sergeant john krudo on the investigations team. i'm going to present a combination of the second and third quarter 2017 farm discharge review board report or fdrb as well as i'll give you a snapshot of the current status of officer-involved &1==q%9 as i begin, you should all have received

these documents which you'll noapt are dated september 13th 2017. these are also on the table. and they cover a lot of information that we'll talk about. i would note that this was prepared for the original scheduled data of this presentation september 13th. the status of this has evolved as you'll see since september 13th. what you see on the slides is the scurnt -- scurnt status as we current status as we move into the fourth quarter. i'm going to begin with a summary of the -- there were a couple of fire disarm review boards. since the last presentation to this commission on the fdrb's and officer involved shoalings, the firearm

discharge board reviewed the following completed investigations. i'll give you a quick summary. oid 006-17 and oo 217. ois 14-006. 15-002. and 15-003. walking through those, these different cases officer-involved discharge 006-16 occurred october 21. 2017. in this incident, at 2:25 in the morning, a uniformed officer attempting to render a firearm recovered in an incident he had the intention of transporting it back to the station. under the direction of the sergeant at the scene, he attempted to decock the weapon creating an unintended discharge. no one was injured.

the recommendations on this were not in policy for the officer or in policy for the sergeant. the officer was retrained in the proper handling of firearms. oid 00-117 occurred march 11th, 2017 the day of the st. patrick's day parade. an officer was charged by an off-leash pit bull that charged the officer in command by his owner. the officer retreated and fired. he struck the dog in the right front leg. no one else was injured. the recommendation was in policy. this did give an opportunity for the department to review the practice of not issuing body-worn cameras to officers in training prior to their probationary a violent. now that they've been fully deployed, we

have the cameras and the policy has been reviewed. officer-involved discharge 002-17 occurring on april 25th, 2017. the uniformed officer unintentionally fired a weapon, no one was injured. the recommendation was not in policy. the fdrb did recommend that notices be noted to remind officers of safe loading and clear cleaning of firearms. ois 14-006 occurred on october 7th 2014 on 400 block of brian street. on that day uniformed officers used cover and concealment to observe three suspects burglarizing a vehicle. as they moved in, the driver of the sus seblght vehicle pointed a firearm

at the officers. fearful he was about to be injured or killed the officer opened fire and struck two of the suspects. his accomplice was injured and taken into custody. this was found in policy. there was an additional recommendation because the involved officers found it violated equipment-related policy. the fdrb recommended and additional finding not in policy pertaining to that policy. officer-involved shooting on 400 block of mason. at approximately 8:54 they found a door open. they started to investigate and when the suspect broke from cover, an officer fired one time and the subject fearing an attack. no one was injured as a result and

the suspect was taken into custody. the recommendation on this was not in policy. ochesser-involved shooting 15-002 occurred on valencia street. three uniformed sergeants assigned to mission station there was a man and they asked him to remove. the suspect drew a weapon from his waist band and two suspects fired at the suspect mortally injuring him. this was a recommendation in policy. officer-involved shooting 15-003 occurred on folsom street. mission station officers responded to a man armed with a knife chasing another

man. one of the subjects slashed one officer with a large butcher knife before similarly assaulting the second officer. as the suspect began turning back toward the other suspect the officers fired back. the subs expect was mortally wound -- the suspect was mortally wounded. one of the involved officer found it violated a equipment-related policy. the fdrb in this case reviewed at adoption of the ever-bridge automated system for critical incidents. there was some issue about that on timely notification. the ever-bridge notification system has been adopted since then and worked effectively for critical incidents.

one of the cases that were reviewed in thev there were no cases for presentation. so i'd like to cover the status of the open officer-involved shooting investigation at this time. so on april 19th, 2017 when you had the first quarter -- excuse me. when you had the first quart presentation things have changed as follows as of today. the four ois investigations that we just reviewed were presented to the fdrb and completed. four new ois investigations have been open since that last presentation. these are 17-o 03. 17-004. 17-005. 17-006.

may third and november first. you'll a hear about two of those in closed session later tote. criminal investigations were started on all the cases by the sfpd homicide detail and district attorney's investigations bureau. administrative investigations were started by sfpb and department of police accountability. cases 17-003 and 17-005 include a medical examiners investigation. we have received nine summary reports since that time from the sfpb homicide detail and they've been presented or will be presented to the fdrb in a short time. as of now there are 15 open investigations. two are active criminal investigations.

17-005 and 17-006. the d.a. has seven cases that they're investigating as well. 15-007. 15-009 15-10, 17-5, and 17-6. if you look at the documents that were prepared in anticipation of this, there were 14 on september -- the date of the document september 13th. 14 so we received seven basically in the month of october. we've received seven charges decisions from the d.a. so we've received a total of eight and they're prepared for presentation to the firearms review board for closure. a snapshot of where we are. these are the cases from 2014 and 2015 still open. we received charging decisions for

the two open cases at the top. actually all three open cases here. 14-006. 15-004. on the dates noted. the open investigations from 15 and 16, 2015 and 2016, we did receive charging decisions on 15-008 on the 23rd of last month and 16-002 on the 18th of last year and 16-003 on the 21st of last month. these are being prepped again for fdrb. the homicide detail has completed investigations on the other cases and are preparing summaries. -- summaries of their investigation. cases from this year, the 17-0 01 is being completed -- 167-001 is being

completed as a criminal investigation. 17-005 and 006 are new cases. i don't think 17-006 even appeared on the original paper work. that was done in september. so that's the snapshot. >> president turman: questions for the sergeant? >> i have some questions. i'm just wondering on 14- 006 15-one, two and three, those are about three years old. why does it take that long for them to be closed after an ois investigation? >> there are dependencies which depends on closure and decision on a criminal investigation for a use of force

evaluations. it has to have been legal within the law tempt. -- within the law at the time. there are pieces that we're waiting for. we have a tolling provision based on the active and open criminal investigation and pending d.a. review. it's been a function of getting some kind of decision on the conduct of the officer, whether or not the officer is going to be charged with a crime and whether or not they acted lawfully. and then to formalize any final decision on the admin side. >> we were waiting for criminal investigation to be completed? >> yes. >> waiting for the district attorney's office. >> yes. >> and i believe the commissioner case number, you cited were -- i'm going back in here -- 14-006, 15-001, 2ñr and

3. >> 14-006, 15--which ones? >> 14-006, 15-001 and 002 and 37. >> those were present presented to the fdrb. i don't have the charging decision dates there, but what happens is we get the charging decision finalized the admin piece and presented to the fdrb. it's a process, but it's a couple of vehicles. so the order of magnitude decreases when we get to the final part but we need the notification that there is not criminal misconduct. >> if i may commissioner, we have

made some adjustments to that and i announced it several months ago that -- i announced to the commission several months ago that we basically -- the policy decision and legal decision are two separate decision. we need to know whether or not the uses of force are legal. but a policy decision is separate from a legal decision. we have put together a schedule to move forward with the administrative portion of the investigations. definitely we're in contact with the d.a. and tracking in terms of when we anticipate these filing decisions to be made. but it's a separate decision. so our strategy that we announced several months ago that we start with the oldest.

our criminal team when they wrap up, they forward it to the district attorney's office and the district attorney's office do what they do in part of filing a decision. our fdrb is a policy decision. we're moving forward and started with the oldest and those cases will go from old to new to make sure that we catch up to get these cases done. because there are a lot of things in the balance in terms of issues that need to be raised training issues and all that. we don't want to wait two or three years before we address the issues. >> are you saying we're going to move forward without waiting for the d.a. to finalize their review? >> yes. >> commissioner marshall. >> i want to check on one thing. the oiss that you reported on this evening if i'm look at the dates correctly, they seem to have all occurred before the new support policy

was if place, is that correct? >> i'm not sure what you're asking. >> was it december -- when we passed it. that's what i mean. >> 16? >> i'm looking at the dates. >> the send of -- i have to double check. >> i was looking october 7th. this is just for me. it was 2014. one was january 2015. so my read on it. >> the first kun one, commissioner the first was adopted december of 2016. last ois 2016 occurred october 14th, 2016. the first oned up the new policy -- first one under the new policy is 17-001, january 6th, 2017. doses that address -- does that address

it? >> i'm looking for that one. >> this report has the summaries and dates. >> i was looking at this one. but that's okay. but you told me. the only one after this will was -- >> you'll see the d.a. process as well is accelerating. we received charges decisions from 2017. there is definitely movement forward. as the chief said there were a couple of cases we've since received charging decisions for the formallal notification that went to the fdrb and we started it in the third quarter. >> but that's the discharge right? >> the discharges -- the first three cases were discharges that i mentioned.

so yeah, we had one 2017 case that has gone through the fdrb. that is 002 which occurred out of county. so we -- that one was a different issue. it was accidental. >> i think i got the answer to my question. >> sorry. >> president turman: thank you. >> secretary kilshaw srkt srkt dpa director directors report and announcement presentation of statistical reports. summary of cases received. adjudication of sustained complaints. for september 2017 and companion reports. >> president turman: good evening director henderson. >> good evening, thank you. we're not going to go over everything.

you have the reports in the packet there. you don't need me to read it to you but i will highlight -- i want to make note of where we are in terms of the numbers. i'm still working really hard to try to close out a lot of the older cases so that i can focus and prioritize specifically on a lot of those older -- i mean more of the recent and important cases like the officer-involved shootings. the numbers i would point out in the calendar from the second and third quarter are 2017 numbers. we're now at 545 closed cases. we typically don't close that many cases throughout the year. just by comparing, last year we closed at this time about 426 cases. a lot of these bigger numbers are a lot of our older cases and 33 or 4 case business way of context are cases outside of the jurisdiction and time

has run on the cases and those complaints. i will keep everyone updated. in addition to that, the only real newer news is that my new chief of staff i've been focused on hires. the department h -- focused on hiring. i brought in a new chief of staff that started and she went out to the last -- she went out to the officer-involved shooting that was in the castro that we were talking about earlier. she attended last night's townhouse and attended her first police commission which was last week. well, it was memorable. she'll typically be here moving forward. the other thing i wanted to flag in closing is the 90-day review that i did. i sent to folks in case anyone has

questions on that on the things wife' been working on for the past 90 days in the office. i'll try to provide regular updates to that in addition so everything doesn't have to be read in my longer reports at the police commission meetings. that's it. >> president turman: any questions for director henderson? thank you director. sockets ri.secretary kilshaw. >> secretary: commissioners reports. >> president turman: any reports? >> commission -- >> just so the commissioners know, i am meeting and talking to the city attorney about last week's vote and i have some serious votes whether the vote was valid. the city hall building was locked,

people were blocked, not able to come in. people were locked out. i went down and got people permanently in. they were not able to stand for public comment. i am bringing that up with the city attorney and i want to let you know i'm working on that. in the last thing even though we moved within city hall i think city attorney said it's proper but i question whether we announced that that we had moved the location to the public. it is a public meeting. i'm wondering if there were any violations ever the brown act. >> any other commissioner reports? secretary kilshaw. >> secretary: item 3-d scheduling of items identified for future meetings action.

>> president turman: any announcements and scheduling of items? >> i have one item that i have a question about. last week we received an enormous set of documents around the administrative code # 6 ---96-a quarterly report. there was a lot of data in it. if we get a report about it, and if there is any follow-up by any group i know it goes to the board of supervisors and mayor's office and dpa and comes to us. i just don't know then what happens because there is a lot of information there. >> who was the question directed to? >> anyone who has an answer. >> president turman: seblght risecretary

kilshaw? >> secretary: you can ask for a report. >> there is a human amount of data in there. some of it is positive and some of it is troubling. there is a tremendous amount. it would be helpful if somebody could go through the high points and question some authority. >> who did the report?ñr >> the department. >> the department will have a representative to present that report. and we'll schedule it at a future hearing. >> secretary: commissioner turman identify aid like to announce a -- i'd like to announce a new items. >> i just want to keep on scheduling docket, presentation before the commission of the community am bass ambassadors. let me know when i can get that done. >> any further commission reports? or scheduling of items -- pardon me. secretary kilshaw, you had an

announcement. >> secretary: for members of the public the commission and department will hold the department's medal of valor ceremony november 15th at 6:00 p.m. at the scottish right building 2850-19th avenue. additionally the commission will be dark for the remainder of november. we'll meet again on december 6th at city hall. 5:30 p.m. in this room, room 400. then we'll be dark for the remainder of december and reconvene here on january 10th in this room city hall 400 at 5:30. these will be posted on the website. >> president turman: thank you, secty kilshaw. pub comment on items 3-b, a b c an

and did. >> i'm here for a serious situation. excuse me the way i deliver it. i don't mean to be look a poet. i'm not a poet but i show it. i don't like to cuss. this don't seem real in this atmosphere although you guys under federal investigation, but what happened to oscar out there, what resonated in the city. i have to come tough right now. senior citizen joe marshall, we go way back. we both got gray hair, i just look young. henderson, commissioner. and chief. chief scott. i'm going to tell you some things -- maybe not.

i'm going to show you some things they're not going to show you. i'm going to tell you the history that comes out of me. the western edition, you have to come. i didn't know you changed your agenda. normally you had the public speak. you're going to make us wait. and then so many things i want to say, how can i say it in three minutes? i heard i was on 60 minutes. they gave me more seconds than you all give me. chief, you're doing a great job. we're so good you go past this administration and move over to the next phase. and you're doing a good job, but you have to come to the bern edition. you march around around change, come and see what we do. i'm going to tell what you they did. the western edition. fillmore we call it the feel no-mo.

i've been on the case for a long time. they want to hear what i've got to say loud and clear in their ear. we're the most prejudiced city by the bay. you have to hear what i have got to say. i'm saying here in the police department that our community has left, our middle class and blacks left before you all got on. years ago under the newsom administration, you only have a if few more seconds. you all have the luxury to say mr. washington, i dare you. chief, we have to talk about some things. yoap what captain is doing walking around. i try to go over there. i almost had a heart attack and had to call ambulance to come and get me. all the brothers were out there

gambling. i'm going to so show you something. i have tear. women call me and say what the hell is going on? >> president turman: thank you, mr. washington. >> you ain't never told them yet. >> thank you mr. washington. next. public speaker on items 2-a b c or d. >> good evening commissioners. this is with regard to the officer-involved shooting report. in the summer of 2016, the grand jury issued a report into the open opportunities exist for greater transparency in officer-involved shootings. one of the recommendations is that these

investigations occur contemporaneously. s that recommendation of the grand jury been implemented? that we'd have the administrative and criminal all occurring contemporaneously to shorten up this process? because they documented it was taking an average of three years for -- from the time of the officer-involved shooting until the charges decision then the administrative piece began. they just said it's way too long and it's delegitimatizing the department. the second is the grand jury recommended that a civilian participate in the investigations. has that civilian been identified? are they actively participating in the investigation? my third question have any s fpb officers involved in the shootings been

disciplined by this body? in los angeles you have a process that is transparent. you disclose the maximum amount of information possible to the public about the discipline process and i wish that we would implement a duplicate policy here in san francisco. this report is extremely confusing. those of us who follow it closely can quiend of figure it out because we know the dates of the officer-involved shootings. if you want legitimacy of this department, we need need to know if when we call 9-1-1 is the guy who killed mario the guy who killed milkar, are they showing up? we have no idea. this delegitimatizes the department. i believe that the united states department of justice recommended that it not only be s fpd on -- sfpb on

the firearm's review board that there is civilian participation on the decision-making process as well. has that recommendation been implemented? thank you. >> president turman: any other public comment on items t-1, a b c and d? >> i'm paula brown. and i just want to state, i saw the website on twitter about the information i just caught hold of before i got in here. and i thank you for that. it's a start. i just want to7s say that with that, please keep it out there. because i've been promised a lot of times that people were going to put my son -- even though they put his pictures on the bus, it didn't last long enough

and the only lasted for a couple of weeks, then i had to wait another few years to get something else done, or keep coming here to say what i say every week. this will is a start. and i'm glad of it. but when you rotate those pictures, please keep my son's picture there. i know i've been coming here for years. and i'm not knocking out anybody else's child. but keep my son's picture in the front because i'm going to continue to come here even though this media and twitter and facebook thing is coming up, i'm still going to continue to come here and bring awareness to my son's case and other people's cases too. but again i just want to thanks thank you for

that. i can't wait to get home to show my daughter what is happening so she can see her brother's face is still out there and give her some peace that someone is finally doing something. and also, i still think that it should be out, you know, at the bus barns. the department of motor vehicles where people can physically see it because not everyone goes on facebook except for young people. i'm pretty sure the perpetrators are not going on facebook or twitter. but i know if they walk into the dmv to get their license or to the library to buy a book or watch to catch a bus and the pictures are there they're going to see it. i just want to thank you anyways for it. thank you.

>> president turman: any other public comment on items 2-a b c and d? seeing none public comment is now closed. >> secretary: item and possible action to recommend that the board of supervisors authorize the chief of police to accept and expend a grand for $165,000 for the department of homeland security federal emergency agency. for the safe boat refurbishment. >> the department has a presenter on this issue? >> hi. good evening. president turman and commissioners, chief scott, director henderson.ñr i'm patrick dejong from the police

any debate with speakers during public comment. please limit your comment to three minutes. >> president turman: public comments. >> good evening, commissioners. i would like to speak about the taser vote. you have reset the clock on trust between this department and the community to december 2nd, 2015. that was the night that sfpd surrounded mario woods like an execution squad and killed him in front of hundreds of eyewitnesses including a bus full of school children. as a community organizer, i have spent my career inspiring people to participate in the political process and to come forward and express their

opinion. often they don't want to. because they say it doesn't matter. it doesn't have any impact. the decision has already been made. why should i turn out? the fact that your own process revealed that 85% of the people who participated in the public input process including 100 percent of the people who participated in the public impact process at sunnydale were opposed to tasers. the night of the decision, we had hundreds of people here. there were maybe five pro taser people here. hundreds of people came out to voice their opinion that they want san francisco to remain taser-free. you've now taken any trust that you have established. i participate on the bias work group. there is many of us in the activist community who participate in the bias

-- in the various work groups. we're trying to collaborate with you. we're trying to make things better. and you've just reset it all the way back to december 2nd, 2015. the disdain is palatable, i ask, i urge you to reconsider this decision and to consider all of the input that you heard from the people most impacted. it doesn't matter what the business community and the -- and those folks have to say. of course they want tasers. they don't want undesires around. who are the people that are going to get tased? their opinion matters. it's a violent tool of torture according to the united nations. it has no place in san francisco. i urge you to reconsider your decision.

>> president turman: next member of the public please. >> good evening commissioners. friday was a rough one. sadly, we continue to make decisions on what you could call party lines. mayor appointments, board of supervisors' appointments. i thank you for saying that this needs an investigation. i brought something in front of the sunshine task force before and won. city attorney recommended against and said i had no grounds for what i was doing. so i think that we'll be working every way we can to bring this up again to have a legitimate vote. mr. bray should have never been considered an expert. he was a salesman for a company. that was completely i will jit.

complete -- completely illegitimate. our expert had not read and our first expert was not in the room in san francisco was deflating to say the least. again, i want to thank -- excuse me? >> i paused your time. >> may i go ahead? >> president turman: if you want to. >> of course i want to. i appreciate the commissioners and what they said in a heart-felt way that the people most affected by this are the ones that needed to be considered. it was absurd theq way it was pushed through all the meetings happening with no intention to toolly have an open mind by the people that we're putting this dog and pony show on to push tasers. the least important thing the most

offensive thing to the public was truly tragic. that one woman who will has -- you know, two minutes being used as a quay to run a meeting. what if you didn't have the clock? how would you graciously run a meeting? this woman had a 13-day hunger strike and walked all the way to sacramento at 67 years old. we went a few minutes over and put meme people into a tailspin. one man had 10 minutes and a high school student used 30 seconds. this clock as a tool against the people is not effective and really kind of lazy. because i really think there would be more graciousness at these moments. this will come up as a vote again. this is not done. to lock our own people outside of the building, right
