6:00 pm
and if we're doing -- but then by the same token, are we missing things in the department that other police departments do as a best practice? and what are those and how are they staffed? so that functional analysis is part of phase two. another part of phase two is the effort to ungauge a contractor to review either quantitatively or qualitatively the remainder of the workload in the department that is not represented by sector patrol. and then over the next year we'll put everything together into -- it will be released in portions by big sections of the department, but at the end of it we will have a total look at what the staffing needs are in the department. so essentially for the task force, their job will be to inform that methodology. and so inform the development of the methodology and take a look and do that gut check on is this
6:01 pm
the right methodology and was it analyzed appropriately? and what is the next step in going forward. so these folks are really as called for in the legislation or in the resolution by supervisor y yee, their role is to implement a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to determining staff levels, and the membership should be comprised of a cross section of experts and data analysts. and in order to really determine staffing levels, there is the task force and the contractor as mentioned. the task force we really want to utilize expertise from that group to provide insights on methodology for staffing analyses in general, so as i talk through the membership of the task force, i think you'll recognize that there's kind of a trend -- there's kind of an underlying expertise of these folk
6:02 pm
folks who have seen staffing analyses in our department and/or other departments. they kind of have a good -- or they are really good analysts as well. so today we're talking about the task force, although i have given kind of a long, make it short now, overview of the fuller staffing analysis. ultimately the task force also calls for community input, and i want to talk about this a little built because i did address it in the letter. the actual task force will not have a member of the community sitting on the task force. the reason for that being that san francisco is so diverse. and there is so many perspectives. and a task force -- you can have an entire task force just for community input. and we kind of have that already in the form of commander lazar's executive sponsored community group on policing. one of the things that that group has done is they engaged the controller's office, similar
6:03 pm
team, in conducting some survey work of that executive sponsor working group and additional 500 community organizations. of which 140 of those organizations responded to survey just kind of gauging what the vision and what the thinking is from the community perspective on what community policing should look like. and from that, they are developing a community policing strategic plan as recommended in the u.s. d.o.j. collaborative reform initiative. and within that survey, one of the things that came out of the survey is that staffing really needs to be a factor and community policing staffing levels. so we will be taking those surveys and that information and having that be the portion of the our analysis that informs the community input piece because we could not possibly do
6:04 pm
this kind of level of effort and engagement of the community that has already been conducted. and continues to be in place in the form of the executive sponsor working group, which has representatives on that group including the bar association, the homeless advocacy project, members of the business community, religious organizations, the media, youth organizations, and other activist groups. with that, the membership that was suggested in the resolution was included with representatives from the u.s. d.o.j. task office, and the san francisco controller's office t department of police accountability, and the sheriff and the disability of emergency management. and so we have taken that information and we've -- we have expanded the number of members -- expanded upon the number of members that were recommended and also kind of reduced a couple of those roles as well.
6:05 pm
so as you know, our relationship with the u.s. d.o.j. cops office is not where it was when the legislation was introduced and passed, and so we felt it wasn't likely nor appropriate to have a member on the task force at this time. we will have commander o'sullivan will be the member of the command staff that would sit on the task force. from the controller's office, we will have the sector patrol staffing analysis from the controll controller's office, aened she also served on the team that did the fuller soup to nuts review 10 years ago as well. and then from the accountability, we will have samuel omarian join us. and ann raskin from the department of emergency management who has helped us in identifying the right data and the data sets and the kinds of
6:06 pm
data that we needed in order to do the sector patrol analysis. and we need a number recommended by the police commission as well, and that is to be determined. there are two other members that we added to the task force, and that is gentleman by the name of leonard materese who has done a lot f of staffing analyses and lecturing on police departmens s who is the go-to person for community policing and expertise from the city-county management association. and then finally we will be reaching to craig frazier who is a police staffing expert as well. as you can see, the composition of the group is very expert
6:07 pm
driven and the high level timeline that we are expecting for five key points in the project. we expect to have fife meetings. -- five meetings, but they are volunteering their time and we are not trying not to lean on them too much. we will have a kickoff in the next month or two. the second meeting would include a review of the functional analysis and proposal of the investigations method and that would be this summer and then investigations and special -- and then we would present, so we present the methodology to the task force. they would vet it and come back and present the findings at the next meeting. the next meeting would be presenting the findings of the
6:08 pm
investigations review and then special operations in the fall and the findings from special operations and the methodology presentation for support functions would happen later in the fall, early winter, and then the final meet iing in the late winter and compile all the information from everything that has happened in the year prior. with that i will take any questions. >> great. thank you. i know that the supervisor yee requested it and the staff issue deals with everything from where we're deploying the officers, data driven policing to the actual number of officers that we need. and i know that i am glad that perf is involved. for those of us on the commission at that time, the recommendations were that we were probably a good 800 to 1,000 officers short of where we
6:09 pm
should be to similarly situated cities. and i giggle when i thought one of the expectations is we don't need that because we are a small city and can get around faster. that was prior to traffic congestion we are facing now where the fire department and police department have been complaining about the ability to maneuver around the city. i think it's great and i thank supervisor yee and the police department and look at perf and how much more to do at the sheriff's department with reference to prisoner transport and hospital watches. and the work with other agencies. mental health professionals to handle which is probably 40-50% of the people dealing with crisis. those are all important factors and we heard earlier tonight the numbers are going down of crimes. one thing that said is the number of officers are starting to increase with the plan the
6:10 pm
board of supervisors and mayor put forth and we have more young officers out there and we are hiring. there is no surprise there is a correlation between the two. this is a great study. looking forward to seeing it. commissioner de jesus. >> i might be missing it. this is a pretty impressive list of experts that you have put together for the task force, but looking at supervisor yee's resolution and he has community stakeholders and he mentioned cops which i an i degree -- which i agree. and he does say other organizations including potential the bar association. i don't see community stakeholders on this list. so i am >> so as i discussed the community stakeholder piece if ewith include the number and variety of perspectives that would haver to represented on this committee, we would have a 50-person task force. and still wouldn't -- and i felt like it still wouldn't be a sufficient representation of the
6:11 pm
kind of input, so we are looking to the executive sponsor working group which has over 88 members that have been represented at various times and that executive sponsor working group is the first place we will gather input, but in addition to that, the controller's office has done a surveying office and over 500 organizations and 140 of those organizations have actually responded to a survey in which they talked about community policing and how that is affects staffing. >> so i did hear that. what i want to know is you are talking about developing some type of information from the ground floor. how do you get the input from the community on the ground floor level of developing what the number is? it is one thing to have a sounding board. i get it. a community group here with 100 people in there and get sounding and take it to them.
6:12 pm
but to have somebody in the planning process and a representative, and i guess i am missing that point. it is different bringing something completely developed and saying, what do you think about that? >> an i think that we can tap into the executive sponsor working group as a whole at key opportunities throughout the process. similar to the task force. and providing methodologies and allowing them to give us feedback at the key points. and so -- but i want to make sure it's thoughtful. i want to make sure we are engaging the community in a way that -- and at a time and at certain times when they are either not working on a community policing strategic plan and in a thoughtful way in which we have developed a good plan for engaging them. i don't want to speak off the cuff and have it be -- let me
6:13 pm
step back. when we engage the community in the first effort -- or the last time we did this project, it was three-prong approach. it was funded -- it has $100,000 or more attached to it. and we may well be able to devote some resources to that once we engage our contractor. however, i want to make sure that whatever the approach is, it's both vetted by the contractor and proposed by the contractor. but also we will use the executive sponsor working group as the resource to engage the community. >> let me just -- i am just going to make a suggestion. there are some community groups that are under umbrella. they represent 82 different groups. you might want to give thought about talking to either the bar association who has a particular unit that deals with police and so does the aclu. they participate in the one umbrella organization with 83.
6:14 pm
see if they would recommend a person representative for the community because i think input from the ground floor sometimes is very helpful rather than bringing or presenting things that are already in place because frankly, i have been here 10 years and i find when you present things that are in place, people get resistant to making changes or accepting ideas, new ideas and things like that. they get entrenched. i saw that with the boundaries of the police department. it became a little fight because the boundaries are put together by a contractor and presented to the community. they had no community input from the beginning and then the community pushed back. and so i don't want that to happen again. so i think it's important to brainstorm to see if you can get a community representative at least to get some ideas at the ground level. >> commissioner molara. >> i have a similar concern with a different perspective, and that is that perhaps there could be someone from the executive
6:15 pm
sponsor working group to be representing the group on the task force. i hate to say this, but the reality is even the bar association doesn't represent the community. they are just attorneys who sit somewhere. but they are not community representatives, whereas this -- the group that captain is putting together has a more broader section of community, and possibly having someone from that group on the task force in bringing back information, and the information goes back and forth, then there is a community input. not just when you -- when you need the community, you go there and rather, having someone from the group that could represent different perspectives. >> i think i like that idea and i certainly we could go to the executive sponsor working group and ask if someone would like to participate. we also do have the controller's office sitting on the task force
6:16 pm
as well. and they have been a part of that executive sponsor working group. >> they are not part of the community. >> i understand. >> commissioner hirsch. >> i share the concern of the last two commissioners. i think we're making a mistake if we decide that it's so difficult to include community members because there will be 50 or more, we exclude all of them. i really don't think that's the best way to approach it. i like the idea of having one or two or even three representatives from community groups who are part of the working group. the second thing i would say is the schedule, i would really hope that you can hold yourselves to that timeline because you are giving yourselves about 11 months out. and that seems to be a fair amount of time to get something back to the city of san francisco on staffing. i would encourage you to stick to that timeline. >> thank you, again. i do agree with the commissioners that obviously input from the community. we have had meetings where some
6:17 pm
committees said we don't want any police officers, we want more police officer, one on every corner, and those are things to juggle. the bar association and haven't invited chief scott to be on one of their boards to discuss the staffing of a major piece of litigation. that is their world. this is the police department's world and the people's world. i prefer that we have actually members from the community that have proven themselves to be very helpful in our other working groups. chief? >> the input from the police commission and we will come back with some updates on how we can incorporate the feedback into the plan. >> great project. thank you, director mcgwire. this is good to see and i thank supervisor yee for bringing this forward. i have an idea the results are going to be that we're going to need more officers and more assistance. thank you very much. >> is there a budget attached to
6:18 pm
this? >> we have current year budget, yes. >> good. thank you. >> great. please call the next line item. 3b. >> line 3b, d.p.a. director's report. report on recent d.p.a. activities and announcements. presentation of reports, summary of cases received, mediation of complaints, adjudication of sustained complaints for february 2018 and companion reports. >> good evening, director henderson. it is no longer interim or acting and is actually direct henderson, so congratulation. thank you for your willingness to take on this challenge, and it is greatly appreciated. >> it is a long road, but i am finally here. >> most people don't know, but i trained you your first week in the d.a.'s office. all the mistakes he makes, blame them on me. >> i did. i have been doing that for years. many court records with your name in them. that is what tippy taught me.
6:19 pm
how we're supposed to do it. so thank you, all, for your support. i am excited about the work, not just what i have been doing over the past six months but the stuff i have planned in the future and laid out and most of the reports that you have seen already. and i know you already have the report, so i don't want to go line by line with all of the stuff. but i do want to highlight a couple of things and give you a couple of updates on some of the stuff that i think is important that's going on with the d.p.a. we are recruiting now for our senior investigators as we continue to expand the staff. we just had a posting that closed, but we've got over 60 applicants which is great. we have people that are coming to the department now that will allow us to choose some of our best candidates to continue our work. our new investigators have started. and we have spread out the case load. now for the first time we have been hearing this for years about the schedule and the case
6:20 pm
assignments for our investigators. as of now, finally, the average case load is 16. we have been out of compliance for years with the case loads being too high for our investigators to do the work that we wanted them to do at the standards that we had set for them. so we're excited that we have finally hit this milestone in the organization. i will say over the past few weeks since the last assignment or since the last commission meeting, we have started or we've attended both the town hall meeting at caesar chavez school on march 12 for balboa high school or both of those town halls that we have attended. and we have had some follow-up both with the community who had expressed some concerns about the d.p.a. and the role and coordinated with the board of
6:21 pm
supervisors that we will continue to follow up on as well as with the mexican consulate which had reached out and had specific concerns and wanted to be heard to coordinate the role of the d.p.a. and with some of the families that were involved in those incidents. we have continued to do that internally. and this is important for my department and for the folks that wanted to make the complaints and communicate with our office and are actually able to be heard, and we are able to receive the information from them. we had a trainer actually come in to train all of our staff about how to use the language line. specifically, though, that include beyond just language services for the deaf and hearing. that training was great -- for the deaf and hard of hearing. we have more ongoing training
6:22 pm
related to the new technology which has come in the past six months to make sure everyone knows how to use the new equipment that they have received and all of the new program and software that we have installed in the office as well. statistically, i'll just be brief with this because you have the reports, but i do want to highlight a couple of other things that i think are really important. the case loads are now down. we have been working very hard to close out and to get rid of eliminate much of the backlog, specifically the stagnant cases. our case load is currently at 249 cases. that stand out compared to the 431 that were open last year at this time. over 42% reduction. we have had nine sustained cases already this year, and this is really important. the cases we have beyond 270
6:23 pm
days, and remember, there are a lot of exceptions for cases that go beyond 270 days, but this is before the 3304 deadlines, were down to 28 cases. and most of those cases are cases meaning they are involved in civil or criminal justice system. by comparison, this time last year, we had 106 of those cases that were beyond that statute. so we are working really hard and i am really proud of these numbers which is why i am highlighting them in this report. i will recognize also here in the court -- in the room with me today are my chief of staff sarah hawkens and senior investigator carlos. so if we have issues that come up during this meeting, my staff is here to address concerns. that is what i've got. >> thank you, director henderson. those are incredible number rs and the biggest concern was the one-year statute in cases and getting the investigators to get the workload down, so excellent.
6:24 pm
commissioner, anything further for director henderson? thank you, director henderson. please call the next line item. >> 3c, commission reports. commission president's report. commissioners' reports. >> i will fill in for commissioner who may be here this evening. he has other activities along with the role related to a partner in a law firm. my report is numerous things have been taking place since the last meeting. i met today with the p.o.a. and san francisco police department command staff regarding general order 3.09 which deals with the medal of valor. and i think we'll have a draft that we can present to the commission that will be acceptable to everybody. i want to thank everybody for their involvement on that. i want to thank captain joseph angler. i attended an easter egg hunt on saturday put together by captain angler, the new captain t a northern station. and the police community group and about five days notice they put together a great event with
6:25 pm
small baby chickens and ducks and it was great to be there with the kids from the western addition. and you and i got to pet a baby duck for the first time. it was a lot of fun. and a great job to that group and captain angler. also with the officer-involved sho shooting. awent to the hospital and officer endo seems to be doing fine. it was traumatic for the officers at the hospital and all those involved. i want to thank the members of the police department there to support the officer, his father and mother i will, and all though at the hospital including the command staff and the chief. what do we do? we talk about things in the abstract here. in the hospital after one of the officers has been shot in a shootout, and it's pretty dramatic. it has an impact on you. so i want to thank those officers and the men and women of the department and so proud of them that evening. and then last but not at least, i want to bring everybody's attention that, you know, if you want to see why we have an issue
6:26 pm
in our system, why the system is broken, you need to log onto captain carl fabry's police department at the tenderloin police station. and they list some incredible things. and i just have to note for people that when you look and you see that people are being arrested the same location, multiple times, and in violation to stay away orders and released from custody by the judges. the cases are being charged by the d.a.'s offices, and large quantities of heroin, crack cocaine, and methamphetamine, more than the quantities we used to see as prosecutors, mr. henderson and i, and i mean, federal quantities. yet, they still get the stay away order and are back out on the same corner days later and being arrested. if you want to see why the system is broken, but the hard work of the officers, go to the tenderloin police station twitter account. they handle it professionally and it is well done. it is very frustrating for us who are trying to have the delicate balance of making this the safest city. commissioners?
6:27 pm
any announcements? okay. public comment on line items three -- >> commission announcements. i'm sorry. i apologize. >> line 3d. >> commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings. >> >> action. >> i think we have the same thing in mind. we would like to add a discussion with the city attorney regarding legal matters rarting the particular -- regarding a particular memo that we received. >> for the record, commissioner de jesus and commissioner molara agreeing to the same thing. >> and not just for discussion, but to put the item back on the agenda. item djo5.02. >> what is our availability look like that when we'll have most commissioners available?
6:28 pm
>> if i can jump in, i think we need to have somebody from d.h.r. here as well. somebody who is negotiating 5.0. >> but we can have -- we can't have it in open session. there are two things. one is to bring back, to put back on the agenda a vote for dgo5.02. as was originally put on the agenda, but we did not accept it as such. and the second piece it sound to me like commissioner hirsch wants to have some clarification from the city attorney to the meet and confer process. >> well, it has to be around a d.g.o.. it can't be a general discussion about legal advice. it is focused on d.g.o. >> if i may interject, deputy city attorney, is we put this on
6:29 pm
for closed session and advice of counsel from the city attorney's office and if necessary, move to the next step. >> justice as a reminder for items to be in closed session, there has to be a specific authorization by the public meetings act. and so for those, it is just as a reminder, it is real estate negotiations, there isn't one in general for attorney-client privilege legal advice. it has to fit into something specific. if you are talking about a specific d.g.o. and the idea is to give direction to your negotiator, then you can have a closed session about that in particular. i feel a little off and not entirely sure what the commissioner -- i heard you want to have a discussion about city attorney advice. and i am kind of confused to exactly what it is. >> well, based on the letter, it sound like we have the choice -- several choices, but the one primarily is to put it back on
6:30 pm
the agenda, to vote again on it, and with the language that was required and we wanted to have a specific questions about the meet and confer process and negotiations. we can have that in a closed session. >> specifically for to put the item d.g.o.5.02, i can work with commission staff to put that back on to the agenda. to have that give direction to your d.h.r. representative who are engaging in the meeting and confer process, in closed session to address specifically your questions and. and that would have to be done in open session. >> i think the commission has voiced our two needs. and you have explained to us the two vehicle of getting there. we don't need to put it on the agenda tonight with a set date. we could do that through the commission president and vice president today, tomorrow, or
6:31 pm
another day. i think we need to get that on calendar as soon as reasonably possible. great. any other announcements, commissioners? >> i will be out of town next week. won't be here on the 11th. >> let's coordinate our schedules for that. >> the third meeting of the month. >> okay. >> can i add for 3d, for the general public, the next meeting for the police commission will be held on wednesday, april 11, here at city hall, room 400 at 5:30 p.m. >> great. now time for public comment with reference to line items 3a, b, c, or d. any public comment with reference to these three line items? hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call the next item. >> line four, discussion and possible action to i a prove the sale of patrol special beat 47 from antoinette candido and beat 3 to patrol special officer alan
6:32 pm
byard and take other action. >> for the record, i am recused from this matter and turn the gavel over to former president dr. joseph marshall to handle this matter. i'll step out of the room. >> back in the saddle. >> i'm prepared. >> okay. >> i have line item 4 been called yet? did he call it yet? yes. okay. involves the sale of -- let me just read this. the three beats. okay. so proceed. >> good evening, commissioners. commissioner scott. before we start, there are two beats that were put together and i would like to have them separated so we're going to vote on each one separately. >> that is fine. >> if we could start with beat 47. and the northern district and
6:33 pm
the wife of a former patrol special who has since passed away in 2013 wishes to sell the beat. >> speak into the mic. >> we can barely hear you. >> a wishes to spell the beat to special patrol byard and the paper work was submitted to you. in there is any questions? >> looks of kay to me. -- looks of kay to me. >> i have looks okay to me. i have no questions. >> i'm not familiar with the process. this is the first time i have heard that a beat can be sold. >> we will have to have two separate motions. >> no, yoi don't have any questions at this point. >> okay. just a brief overline. the city is broken up into particular beats that were purchased by patrol specials and they retain ownership of the beat until it is sold. they may or may not be part of the program. if they are not part of the program, they may not work the
6:34 pm
beat. so this particular beat, i have a map i can put up if you would like -- give you an idea. that particular beat hadn't been worked for some time, so patrol special byard went to is in the northern district. currently patrol special byard owns beat 96. so the beat adjoins that beat and he would have access to that beat. he doesn't have to travel across the city to make sthur his -- to make sure his clients are afforded quick service from him. >> all right. i am seeing the sale price is $100 is what i am seeing. >> correct. >> just so the public knows. this is not a big money deal. >> and it all depend.
6:35 pm
this one is for $100. >> okay. >> i think you said the owner is deceased? >> the owner is deceased. so it would have gone to his wife, and as parts of probate and i have spoke within her on the phone and she is elderly and didn't attend this evening, but i spoke to her and he wishes -- and the sale price is low because when patrol special byard came in in 1977, he worked for her husband, and they had a good relationship, and that is why the price is kind of low. that was when i spoke with her, that was why it was so low. >> so just reading this was on calendar earlier and things to be taken care of in the meantime, and all those things have been dealt with? >> yes, they have. >> all right. so are we moving to approve the sale here tonight? >> correct. >> i need a motion. >> move to approve the sale. >> i second. >> all in favor? >> aye. it's yours. thank you.
6:36 pm
>> and then the next beat is also in the northern district. >> do you want to read -- did we solve that item yet? >> they are under two separate items. >> there we go. >> is beat 83. and it is -- >> got it. >> and this beat, the beat owner is a former patrol special delores lovett-menge and the sale price is $20,000 for this beat. and he's completed all the paper work as with the last beat. i assume they were not friend. that is why it is so high. >> i'm sorry? >> i guess they were not friends. >> this is more of a regular price. and on the last beat to give you an idea, it sold for $100,000.
6:37 pm
>> wow. >> any discussion? i move to approve this item. >> i second that. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> sale is approved. >> thank you. >> thank you. congratulations. does we come back for item five or is he also out for this item? >> i think he was only out for item four. >> we'll git him back. wherever he is.
6:38 pm
the discussion and possible action and with the disciplinary and case al-wiad and 20-130 # an or take other action in necessary action. >> thank you. city council city council lar, please counselar, please state your appearance. >> good evening, officer karla brown. >> commissioner, this is a disciplinary matter assigned to me. we had a meeting and reached a tentative resolution patrol
6:39 pm
spesh officers don't have the same rights as peace officers and the disciplinary matters an dispositions are held publicly in front of the police commission. we are the regulating body. at this point, i will ask the prosecuting agency to give us a breakdown of the disposition and where we stand. >> thank you, commissioner. and thank you for your assistance with these cases. we have finally come to the conclusion of the majority of these, so i appreciate your help. officer calhoun wiley in case aw awa aw2013-0305. one was for a violation of working in beat 55 which is actually owned by his daughter and not owned by him.
6:40 pm
he had owned it in years prior, but it had been transferred to her and not transferred back. in the second specification, he was charged with failure to provide an accurate client list when requested to do so by the san francisco police department. officer carla brown supervises the cases and making sure the rules are being followen followe are met on a few occasions to discuss the stipulated edition disposition proposal all the par the is are in agreement that the patrol special officer would admit the allegations and specifications one and two as part to have stipulated agreement, revocation of his appointment would be held in advance for a term of three years. and in addition to that, he is going to be ordered by the commission to abide by all of the rules and regulations for
6:41 pm
patrol special officers and assistants and including specifically adhering to any verbal, written, email, telephonic messages sent by officer brown or any other sworn uniform member of the san francisco police department as it relates to his duties a z a patrol special officer. in addition to that, he has agreed to pay a fine of $250 on specification one and $250 on specification two and that donation will be made to the bride memorial church which is here in san francisco of which many are familiar with. and i believe that all parties are in agreement with this stipulated agreement. i have the signed, executed agreement from officer -- patrol special officer wiley, and if you have any questions. >> thank you. mr. bonner? >> yes.
6:42 pm
i believe the attorney has accurately stated our agreement and we have signed the agreement. >> members of the commission, during the meeting i explained to officer wiley that he does have to respond when officer brown contacts him regarding the issues. and how many years have you served this city as patrol special officer? >> tell the commission how many. come up to the mic. >> how many years, sir? >> over year. use the mic, sir. >> talk into the mic right there. >> i have 46 years on the street. >> 46 years. >> and patrol special wiley is loved in the bayview and managed the beat out there for many years. we reached this agreement to give him another chance and so long as he goes along with what officer brown and her sergeant who is in the back of the room, i think this is a fair
6:43 pm
disposition. we chose to dedonation to go to glide. we can't suspend him for a period of time, so there is a lot of work and compliance and i suggest that you would agree to accept this disposition. >> my only question, is we have had issued with patrols specials adhering to the rules, so everything is in order now. and you are confident that -- >> i am confident because we have officer brown on top of this. everything is in order. guarantee it. >> commissioner, any other further questions? >> madam city attorney. >> before any vote on this item, you need to open it for public comment and i am apologize, but i failed to note that before the last vote. we would need to redo that vote on approving the sales of those specials. >> is there any public comment
