the time period beginning january 1, 2018 and entering june 30, 2020 in an amount of $384,000, plus a 10% contingency of $38,400 for a total amount not to exceed $422,400. again, tiffany. >> community living campaign will launch two new programs. the triangle and park. neither neighborhood has a senior center or libraries within walking distance and both have a population of older adults and adults with disability not accessing community services. community living campaign will also expand their existing cayuga community by offering new programming that is tailored to the needs of younger seniors and adults in the community. targeting a younger population in the community connector model

is beneficial in two ways. the first and foremost is that this younger group of -- as this younger group of seniors age, they will have created and have in place a community and supportive network they can lean on and that can help them to remain in their homes happily and safely. secondly and equally as vital, this age group can strengthen the community connector network by increasing the number of available neighborhood volunteers, which will contribute to the sustainability of the connector model. because the community model is rooted in neighborhoods, outreach will take place in a variety of ways, such as the community living campaign staff connecting with consumers and providing information at neighborhood events, neighborhood centers, information in neighborhood news letters, and social media such as next door. community living campaign will serve over 500 consumers during

this grant agreement, and provide 1500 hours of service. i request approval for this grant agreement and am happy to answer any questions the commission may have at this time. >> president serina: thank you, any comments or questions of the commission. >> just curious, the volunteers you made mention of, do you know where they come from? >> the neighborhood. >> the neighborhood. congregations? >> i'm thinking of a variety of ways, but i know marie is here and she probably could answer a little more eloquently than i can, but my understanding is they come from within the neighborhood. >> that would be helpful, thank you, marie. >> i think the value of doing this with the neighborhood taps into existing neighborhoods, so within congregations, within employee groups that continue to meet, neighborhood associations have been an important partner in the efforts, but they've been

a good partner in the sense that this adds a new dimension to what is possible in the neighborhood, handling the social and community issues, the neighborhood associations. >> that's helpful, thank you. >> commissioner loo: don't go away yet, marie. i have a question to ask. tell me why the range is so high after switch months, from $1,000 to $4,000? >> you're talking about the rent -- yeah, in our office or? >> commissioner loo: i don't know, it's in your budget. >> well, let me just say, i would say it later in the meeting, to me the living campaign has just moved to a new office which is at 1663 mission street starting yesterday and that space is much bigger, allows for a hub for all of the programming, and it includes the computer lab and training sent. we hope to be able to do leadership training and help develop the model of community

connectors by adding guidance to other communities that would like to do what is being done in cayuga or other places. she's pointing out where this is in the budget. the other thing, in the churches, we do offer a contribution to the various congregations for the use of their space, the electricity and that sort of thing. >> so as the programs expand, it will be higher because of the contribution and now the move to the new space? >> right and we have three neighborhoods instead of one. >> commissioner loo: thank you. >> president serina: thank you. >> mer set triangle, mere loma park and cayuga. >> president serina: any other comments? from the public? hearing none, call the question, all in favor? any opposed? thank you, the motion carries.

curry will hire a ta gallon speaking program assistant and eliminate the language barrier and make programming more accessible to the population. curry will also increase their hours of operation to include saturday programming that is targeted toward older adults and adults with disability who are not accessing services because they're not able to attend during typical community service days, which are normally monday through friday. for a variety of reasons, including work and family commitments. curry will launch a new exercise class on saturday to appeal to the population of older adults and adult with disability. lastly, curry will also expand its lgbtq focus programming that is currently at capacity. curry will conduct outreach to housing properties and senior apartment buildings where it provides health and wellness services, they will outreach

it's an exercise program that contracts with instructors in the area, so it depends on who is available at the time. we'll be starting with chair yoga, for lower mobility clients and working up to zumba and more high energy programs. >> commissioner loo: so they have someone come to the center? >> correct -- >> commissioner loo: and need exercises? >> yes. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments. >> commissioner loo: they come -- >> the plan is for every saturday, plus once during the week. >> commissioner loo: thank you. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments or questions? from the public? hearing none, call the question, all in favor? any opposed? thank you, the motion carries. item f. requesting authorization to enter into a new grant agreement with north and south of market adult day health dba

program pilots presented. services provided at adhc contribute to the success of those intending to live independently at home. the service provided will augment the services provided in adhc setting and attract the lgbtq seniors and adult with disability population who have historically shied away from this type of support because of the lack of appropriate and qualified providers. to assure program is appropriate and staff is well trained, steppingstone will subcontract with open house to staff training and staff that is of interest to the lgbtq community. they will outreach to the open house community, including staff, community members and senior center participants with

the idea building a working relationship, trust in the lgbt community. steppingstone will serve at least 36 consumers and provide 1400 hours of service during this grant agreement. i request approval for the grant and if happy to answer questions. >> president serina: thank you, this is a very worth while program, something i've been championing issues along the lines for the lgbt senior community for the tenure i've had on the commission and i'm happy they will be working with open house. because they do have the expertise, they know how to reach members of the community, they know how to develop the right kind of programming and engender the kind of trust needed. i think this is very exciting and i'll be monitoring this one closely. i look forward to hearing how

seniors and adults with disability who are not accessing services because they're not able to attend during typical community service hours. self-help plans to actively outreach to the meal consumers. nearly three quarters of the champ meal consumers are not enrolled in community service programming and they're at high risk for isolation, because they do not obtain their meal in a congregate setting. the self-help will take place at the jackie chan senior center located in the richmond district, 3-8 p.m. monday through friday. in addition to the programming, self-help will offer two round trips a day between champ meal sites and the jackie chan senior center to ensure participation and alleviate transportation barriers. self-help will serve an average

presenting this morning is with swords to plowshares. the new community service program is aimed at seniors and adults with disabilities who are military veterans. this population of seniors and adults with disability do not typically access community service programming offered by other community partners. swords to plow share has extensive knowledge working with military veterans and their expertise will enable them to create community service programming that will be meaningful and impactful to the veteran population. their new program will take place at their drop in center, where military veterans access health and social services. their new community service program will consist of educational and social activities, group gatherings and a casual lounge area where vets can converse and engage with one another as well as staff.

swords to plow share will serve at least 150 consumers and provide 1,000 hours of service annually. i request approval for the grant agreement and am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, any comments or questions from the commission? just one. will the outreach include in the cases where the veterans are not getting any services from the veterans administration, helping them negotiate that, so they can receive any federal benefit they may be eligible for? >> you mean in terms of the programming? i think swords to plowshares works, they do that at their drop-in center, that's part of the services that the drop-in center, that includes case management, in-house referrals, emergency housing, assistance with medi-cal, all those sorts

of -- >> president serina: i was thinking in terms of the target population, i know many veterans on the streets don't get services from the federal government to which they may be entitled. >> that's one of the key services that swords to plow shares provide and michael might want to address that. the executive director is here. >> thank you. yes, since we started back in the day, mid 70s, we've always recognized the need for veterans with honorable discharges there are five kinds of discharges, honorable, general, undesirable, administrative, like a plea bargain and two other punitive, one is called bad conduct and d dishonorable. it's the middle that is a source

of a lot of -- it denies as united states said, your eligibility for health care, any kind of care from the v.a. it serves as a barrier to getting a job, et cetera, et cetera, it's a lifetime stigma. so we've always addressed that and we would focus on that as we have with the outreach in the homeless encampments and where housing is geared to those not eligible for some of the v.a. programs, it's a separate subsidy. but that's been a big sort of unmet need. we would continue that. >> president serina: thank you very much. any other comments or questions. any comments or questions from the public? hearing none, call the question all in favor? any opposed? thank you, the motion carries. thank you very much, tiffany. i think she deserves a round of applause. [applause] >> any general public comment?

at that site. this kind of marks the transition for us. we're celebrating the 10th anniversary this year and we're trying to lay the groundwork for the next decade, so we're very excited about the new space and we hope you'll come see it. i wanted to mention as board member for the seniors disability action, who had graciously shared space with us, they're also planning a party on the 19th, at their office, which is getting spiffed up, since we left. they've been able to clean it up and make it more available to everybody. so their party is on the 19th for 4-6. so please come on down. >> president serina: thank you very much. any other comments from the public? hearing none, with great regret i ask for a motion to adjourn? >> may i just following up on director mcspadden request, and appropriate request, i look

around this room and i see so many people who had relationships with mayor lee. and we are in a season of grief right now. and we're trying to navigate ourselves through the grief. he was a very special man, a gentleman. and a friend to many here. and he will be greatly, greatly missed. i had the very distinct pleasure of being one of his first commission appointments to the human rights commission and i was his last to this commission. i've always thanked him for his trust. had the great privilege of working with him in my capacity with the interfaith council. he entrusted us with a donation to navigate the first center and we worked with him on immigration and sanctuary to our friends who wanted to come to chrissy field and the city's

response to that. and i don't think i've met a public servant who has so selflessly, and so tirelessly served his community as mayor lee. i am very confident that history is going to be kind to his legacy and i think those of us who were privileged to serve under his administration ought to be very grateful for the privilege. and with that, mr. president, i would ask if we might close with a moment of silence. >> president serina: thank you, of course. [moment of silence being observed for mayor lee] >> president serina: thank you very much. meeting is now adjourned.

>> neighborhoods in san francisco are as diverse and fascinating as the people who inhabit them. today we're in the sunset, where we'll join supervisor tang for the inspiration of this show, where we explore san francisco, one neighborhood at a time. hi i'm katy tang the district 4 supervisor in san francisco, which is

comprise of sunset and parkside neighborhoods. i think what makes district 4 unique is that we have so many different cultures here. we have so many different generations of people. different experiences and that makes it a vibrant neighborhood. for example, which you go down urban street you can do to a japanese restaurant, chinese restaurant, american restaurant, and the cultural diversity is just what makes it so amazing my name is ching le, and i'm the owner of the kingdom of bounty. 17th san francisco, 94116. we make the most authentic and different kinds of dumplings and dim sum. recently more and more popular because they are vegetables and meats that we use fresh vegetables and meats in the business.

it's really inspired to start discover your district series, because i wanted to find a way for neighbors to come and get to know our small businesses and our neighborhoods. get to know each other, get know our office, and do so in a setting that was unintimidating and fun. so i launched this idea call the "discover your district," where we go every month to one or two small businesss in district 4 and we have done things such as learning how to make dumplings that we're learning today and there are so many different activities that we have exposed our residents to. >> today is the very special day, because the city of san francisco hosting this for san francisco city. learning how to make dumplings and knowledge of dumplings. they love to do it and all enjoy it. >> this is definitely not my first

time making it, so i have definitely improved a lot. the first couple of time s i tried to make dumplelings they looks inedible. they have definitely improved. there is a special dumpling eating contest, which is amazing. everyone those eat the dumplings that they made and see how many they can do. i'm curious as to how many they going to be able to down today? >> don't forget to write down what you are eating today. >> we make all different kinds of dumplings and enjoy what they made. so after that, we'll have contact how many pieces of dumplings they can eat and announce the winner today.

we ended up 2016 with 58 homicides, so we have seen a downward trend in homicides in the last couple of months, and we are hoping that we can hold the ground to keep from having an uptick by the year's end. in our sheetings, we are actually down 8.4% from year-to-date. this time last year, we had 152 shootings year to date, last year, we had 166, so it's about 15 less than this time last year. so again, that's a good sign, and i think we've deployed some good strategies to try to keep the homicide rate at bay for the remainder of the year, so we have three weeks left to do that. there are some significant -- at least one significant. we had an arrest on a homicide that occurred on september 6th

of this year. it was a stabbing, homicide with a knife. we had a suspect that was arrested on the 28th of november . his name it gregory speech. he's an african american male, 35 years of age. he was charged -- he was booked for 187 (c) murder and charged with that offense, as well. so that is good news to report, and hopefully, that case will be prosecuted successfully. there is actually -- there was one significant event and that was a shooting at the 1600 block of sunnydale. one male was shot with life threatening youries. he is expected to survive. this thing happened at about 7:22 in the evening on december the 1st, and we do believe

there may be some gang involvement in this particular crime, and so our gang task force is investigating, and that happened in the i thingle district, and that's it for significant crime for the week. the most significant event we've had this week is an officer-involved shooting that occurred this past friday, and i'll read the details. on december 1st, 2017 at about 1:30 in the morning, san francisco officers responded to the 1800 block of 3rd street regarding a carjacking. a female lottery employee was assaulted and sustained nonlife threatening injuries during the lottery. a second vehicle observed as a gold suv was at the scene and is believed to be involved in the lottery. state police officers saw the

lottery vehicle and the suv traveling closely together in the bayview area district. the vehicle sped up and the vehicle was stopped in the area of ingelside and were detained. officer pursued the suv and eventually an officer was involved in a shooting. body cameras from the officers involved in this incident have been retrieved, and the area was canvassed for other video and evidence. the san francisco police department robbery detail investigating the carjacking and the robbery, and the san francisco police department homicide detail, along with the san francisco district attorney's office, the san francisco police internal

affairs division and the office of police accountablity, and the office of the chief medical examiner were also called to investigate this incident. anyone with any information about this incident is asked to call the sfpd tip line or text a tip to tip411, and begin the message with sfpd. you may remain anonymous. tomorrow, we will have our town hall meeting at 1800 oakdale. it'll be at 1:00 in the afternoon involving our practice at town hall, which we try to have it at the same time the shooting occurred, unless

it happened in the morning, so we will have that at 1800 oakdale, and it's open to the public. >> police, i'm going to ask you to schedule that town hall to sometime in the evening. 1:00 p.m. will not give the public enough time to attend that meeting, especially in the middle of the day. so please work with your staff to come up with a 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. start time, please. >> we will fulfill that request but it might put it off to another day. >> president turman: i would rather put it off to another day than not have the public have access, so that's fine. >> and the other events this week is traffic safety operation plan for -- >> president turman: could you hold one second before you go further, chief. commissioner d

commissioner dejesus, is this along the same line of what you just said yes. i think it's important that the community and the public be able to go, and so i'd ask that it be moved from 1:00 in the afternoon. >> president turman: thank you. chief of police, please proceed. >> thank you. the police will conduct a traffic safety operation on december 12th, 15th, 18th, and 28th that will focus on bicycle and pedestrian safety. over the past three years, the department has identified areas where significant numbers of pedestrian and bicycle related collisions have occurred and responded by deployed additional officers to those areas in an effort to prevent deaths and injuries. special attention will be given focus on the following allegations: speeding, failing to signal for right-hand turns, as well as any other dangerous violations, and that is the -- my report for this week.

>> president turman: thank you, chief. did you want to call the next item on your list, chief? >> yes. so we have commander david lozar who will make the next presentation. >> president turman: good evening, commander. >> good evening. members of the commission, chief scott, i'm david lozar from the police chief commission. i'm here to speak to you and present to you a new program and initiative that we're initiating in the san francisco police department called the safe place program, and officer navarro's going to get that up on the screen here. so briefly, i'll just give you the background what our objective is, the implementation and our key points, our goals, and plans moving forward with the safe place program. so a little bit of -- on the background is that there's an

officer by the name of james ritter in the seattle police department, and in 2015, he created the safe place program in seattle, and it was essentially created to address the lgbt community issues -- >> president turman: we've had this part of the presentation. can you get to what we're doing? >> yes. okay. here's our plan, and i just will say this: in 2013, the san francisco police department under chief sur started a similar initiative, but it was just relegated to police stations and the will lgbt community. we're starting this in january . we'll have an officer who was be engaged in the liaison division. we're going to message this program through bill boards and press conferences and social media and any way possible to get the word out. we've created our own symbol to

recognize san francisco safe place initiative. that's new branding decals, but a 6 by 6 sticker on the window. anyone who's willing to participate, they'll get a little bit of training and we'll be grateful for their assistance with the public. as you know, the goal is to help the public, anybody is in need of police services, if they're fearful, if they need help, they will see this sticker, they will see this symbol, and they know they can go into a business and be helped. our phases will be in four phases. one will be schooled, followed by community facilities, followed by businesses, followed by faith-based organizations, and of course we're rebranding our own brand. is essentially, the plan, we're going to exceed the seattle police department's model. we're redesigning the logo. our pilot program will begin on february 1st, 2018, in the mission and the bayview districts, and then, based on

surveys, and our interaction with the public, we'll make adjustments to the program and essentially roll it out citywide by the fall of 2018. in terms of the community engagement division and the tasks, we're going to look for grant funding and other federal grants and donations to roll this out. we're going to do internal training with the department by putting out a bulletin, letting every police officer know that we have this program. we're going to work with our community officers at mission and bayview. we need their support and officers and buy-in to roll this out in two districts, and we're going to have the officers on foot beats and have every officer we can to promote the program. each station will be marketed, and we're going to get success stories on how it works. we'll put it on our department website, and we'll promote it any possible way that we can. i know tonight i thanked you

for approving the $6,000 grant from target. that's for another program, but target now has agreed to provide $2,500 to help us kick this program right away. that'll be a consent item that comes to you down the road for approval. on the last page, i'd like to reference the decal, if you have it in your handout. thanks to officer yolanda williams and tory grady. each part of the star has a symbol: compassion, justice, honesty, integrity, respect, and this purple star will be placed, four by six decal, in the windows of these businesses. we're very excited to roll this program out. last note, i'd just like to note that we made changes to this presentation and powerpoint from the original one. it's been amended for the public that may have received it on the internet when the commission posted it last friday, and with that, i'll

take any questions that you may have. >> president turman: commander lozar, i want to say, i meant no disrespect. it's just i'm sick and i've got a long agenda. i just want to get this. >> it's okay. >> president turman: commander lozar, thank you for your dedicationtu dedication. >> president turman: chief, do you have anything you want to say? >> i just wanted to say i thank officer lozar for putting this together. >> i just want to say i am so grateful that i am to have a program of this type in the city and keecounty of san francisco, and i assure you we're looking forward to making this a model that other cities will also want to tailor.

>> president turman: thank you very much. it should also be known that we took seattle's program and modelled it outwards. thank you for taking the first step. thank you so much for your hard work. commissioners, do you have any comments? >> commissioner melara: officer lozar, i've been waiting for this for a long time. i was involved in the initial conversations with the seattle program, and so i want to extend my help because when i -- we started talking about this here, bank of america, who's very involved in seattle, and has expressed interest in contributing here, so i'd ask you to follow up. >> thank you. >> president turman: commissioner dejesus. >> so thank you for expanding it. this just for lgbt or anyone?

>> it's for anyone. anyone who needs possible assistance, they need help. they'll see this and know they can go into a business or school or faith-based organization, and they'll know they can get that, so we're promoting that. >> i think it's a great idea, and i'm looking forward to seeing it put out there. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> president turman: all right. chief? >> commissioner, that is all of the chief's report. >> president turman: don't you have one more on the -- or is that on a separate line item? >> i think that's on a separate line item. >> president turman: thank you so much. all right. inspector sergeant kilshaw. >> report on present dpa announcements, report on the 2017 statistical reports, presentation of cases received, mediations and complaints,

adjudication of sustained complaints for october 2017, and companion reports. >> president turman: director henderson, we have your reports, and we have had a chance to read them. what else can you offer in your reports. >> i presume you don't want me to read them line by line. they are scintillating. understood. but you also have the monthly stats, and you also have the third quarter october 2017 reports. i will point out just the highlights of these things, the three cases where discipline was imposed on cases investigated by the dpa this month were also consis tetent,d we agreed with the discipline administered by chief scott. there was a lot of discussion

about the cases last month that we did not agree, so i just wanted to point that out. >> president turman: good. >> i will say in the last year, we received 380 cases and closed 545 cases. at the end of the third quarter, moving to the third quarter report, the highlight is the 270 cases remain pending, compared with 418 cases that were pending in the last third quarter of 2016. the other highlight combining the information from these two reports is that 55 of the cases were sustained in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 43 in 2016. theum other informati the only other information i want to share is we've reopened the final negotiations with the

district attorney's office for ongoing negotiations. i'll keep you updated as we moving along. t we've introduced software to our office for better customer satisfaction from the community, and we've also started with our public records training so that all staff will now be trained in terms of how to accommodate and respond to inquiries that come from the public. our new computers are out. that training is take is place. also present with me today is senior investigator sarah monder, and my chief of staff, sarah hawkins, and they are available if questions come up during the meeting that they can respond to. that's it. >> president turman: commissioners, any questions for director henderson? commissioner dejesus i just

wanted to say, we talked about the training fund, it's a little bit low for your investigators, and so i'm wondering if you can just speak to that. >> sure. it's one of my top priorities. the training budget allocated for the department is $4,000. that's about three books these days. and the work that the investigators need to do, the work that the lawyers need to do, the work that our policy people need to do really means that they have to be exposed to a broad number of current topics in order for us to follow and define best practices, so one at the very top of my list of priorities, when i meet with the budget team, and i start meeting with them next week, is to address the training budget. up to now, we've been addressing that by having and making calls, and having friends coming to do the

training, but that's going to run out, and i'm going to need funding to get the training going. i'll keep you upgadated, but ie already spent my $4,000. in the first three days, i spent it. >> thank you. >> president turman: all right. any other questions for the director? >> president turman: commissioners, do you have any reports? commissioner merle? >> commissioner melara: yes. not sure if that falls under that or their future scheduling for the commission. >> president turman: are you asking for something to be scheduled? >> commissioner melara: yes. >> president turman: then it falls under future scheduling. >> commissioner melara: okay. >> president turman:

commissioner's report. >> clerk: item 2-d, scheduling of announcements, and announcements of items introduced at future meeting. >> president turman: commissioner merle? >> commissioner melara: just to ask that the cid policy, the new draft be sent to the commission and be scheduled for the january meeting. >> president turman: any other -- any other scheduling requests? secretary kilshaw. >> clerk: commissioner, we have public comment on items 2a through d. >> president turman: members of the public, is there any comment on item 2-a through d?

>> good evening, commissioners. i'm not sure, in your report, did you talk about the fatal officer-involved shooting? okay. so i'd like to -- last week, when i was here at the last meeting, i brought up the report of the civil grand jury on fatal officer involved shooting and all the recommendations that the grand jury made, and i would like to submit this to you and ask that you agendaize this for future meeting, that you talk about what is the implementation status of the grand jury recommendations, and we ensure that the investigation of this officer involved shooting is in compliance with the grand jury recommendation. >> president turman: any other

public comment on items 2-a through d? >> good evening, officers. i would like to also address the killing that happened. you know, there's a line from a bob dylan song. steal a little, and they put you in jail. steal a lot, and they make you king. in this case, steal a little, and they kill you. you know, we're dealing with a lot of poverty and a lot of tragedy, and i don't think someone carjacking, suspected carjacker deserves to be killed. they say that they don't know if he had a weapon yet, or they're not reporting yet, but they kind of know that it's always reported if they do, so this seems like another tragedy that wasn't necessary, and i think we need to think about why people are stealing, and why we're living in such

desperate times. true tragedy, and i feel like we need to really work on -- i mean, if that was your mother or brother, would that policeman have shot to kill? how come we never hear about people getting wounded, taken down by being shot in the leg or in the hip or anywhere that doesn't kill them? i feel very sad about this happening again, and i want you to consider that we're living in very difficult times, and stealing is not a death sentence, and it's no duty of an officer to determine guilt and to therefore kill someone. well, he stole a car, and therefore, the officer had to kill him. it's not simple what's happening in this world.

it's a tragedy, actually. thank you. >> any other comments on items 2-a through d? okay. seeing none, public comment is now closed. secretary kilshaw, next item. >> clerk: general public comment. the members of the public are free to comment on items that do not appear on tonight's agenda. under police commission rules of order during public comment, neither police commissioners no, sir officers are required to answer, and should refrain from entering into any debates or conversations with speakers in public comment. comments are limited to three minutes. >> president turman: thank you, secretary kilshaw. public comment on items not on

the agenda. good evening, mr. sellhorse. >> good evening. happy holidays and all of that. sergeant kilshaw, police commissioners. i don't have anything prepared. i want to say a couple things. i don't have anything prepared, but i want to say i think the new chief is doing a much better jonathb than his predecessor. the officers just do their job like professionals are supposed to do it, and i thank our new chief. he's done a great job in instilling a professional ethic in a department that has always been good, but has it a plhad of flaws under the previous administration, police chief sur. and if you don't think we have

a problem, i invite you to look at what's happening now, peter strzok, and all those politicized agents. that was where we were going under chief sur, and it took that poor woman who was shot in a moving vehicle, it took her death to finally get this commission to get off its buttocks and do something about that corrupt little man and get rid of him. it shouldn't have taken so long. now, the next issue that i want to bring up, and it's still a chestnut. there are still officers that think that chuck limbert, a former officer who's no longer in this department, but they still hold him in esteem. they think that's the way you

get promoted. that's not how you get promoted, and i want to congratulate you on promoting una bailey. she's a captain in the mission station. she's the one that had the courage to call out former officer limbert on his latest shenanigans or crimes in 2013, that led to his dismissal. i appreciate her not being fired, as greg sur tried to do. my time's running out. i want to wish you all a happy holidays. i want to welcome the new commissioner. i congratulate you sir. i think you're doing great work. one final point. i never agree with the -- corrupt -- what the union is called. i never agree with them on
