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? >> 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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. >> 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. >> 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. 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 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. 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 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. 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 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 regarding this disposition with patrol special calvin wiley? hearing none, public comment is closed. >> do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you, patrol special wiley. and the copy of the signed document is being presented to police commission secretary killshaw for the san francisco police department.

i think i am going to return to the back of the ante room, and dr. marshall again to deal with the issue on public comment regarding the last line item. >> as we call it again? >> where is it? >> item d. item four actually. >> so madam city attorney, if i can ask you -- >> we just need to take public comment for the motion to sell the beat before and then we'll take the vote again. >> was there any public comment on item number four?

hearing none, the motion passes. >> we have to take the vote again. >> so for the first sale, for the first -- what number was the first beat again? >> 93, right? >> >> i was taking public comment on both items at the same time, but we have to separate them. >> public comment on the sale of beat 47, we'll take that separately? any public comment on that? hearing none. it is approved. any public comment on the sale of beat 83? hearing none. >> we have to take the vote again. >> and i need you to retake the vote on each sale. >> okay. do we have to take the motion again also? >> correct. >> i move to approve the sale on 47. >> second. >> all in favor? aye. and 83. >> i move to approve the sale on

83. >> second. >> all in favor? aye. it is official. correct. thank you. >> item 6, general public comment. the public is welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on the agenda but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. speakers shall address the remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or department or d.p.a. personnel,. under police commission rules of order, neither police nor d.p.a. personnel, nor commissioner are required to respond to questions presented by the public, but may

provide a brief response. individual commissioners and police and d.p.a. personnel should refrain, however, from entering into any debates or discussion with speakers during public comment. >> thank you very much. general public comment. welcome back. >> thank you for letting me speak. i came to talk about the taser issue specifically. i know there's been several meetings already. and i have come because i believe we still have an opportunity to move the pendulum in our society from that of collective fear to that of collective bravery. i think one of the ways to do this, although it may only be a drop in the bucket is to spend money where it matters. i don't believe putting more money into weapons is going to help us achieve that goal.

i think we need to spend our money on de-escalation, on conflict resolution, on many other things but not on more weapons. i feel that the name of the taser ballot measure which is, i believe, the safer policing initiative, is a lie. i don't see how carrying more weapons makes anyone safer. i don't think it's too late to reverse the ed situation. and we're all here. the only thing holding us up is ourselves. i don't think it's too late to reers is the decision and i think it should be left off the ballot. i think whatever you can do as a

commission to keep this measure off the ballot would be greatly appreciated and in the best interest of our community. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good evening, commissioners. i am a legislative aide to supervisor cohen here on behalf of the office of supervisor cohen. there is a very important item that i will be discussing today and i look forward to relaying that information back to the supervisor and the board of supervisors and supervisor cohen. >> thank you so much. thank you for coming. >> miss brown? good evening, miss brown. . >> and i am here -- good evening, everyone. i am a little tired today. but i am here to talk about my

[applause]. >> thank you for joining us for the 6th annual walk to workday. i'm jodi madeiras, and i'm the walk san francisco executive director, and i'm happy to be here this morning with this

honorary group of city leaders and the mayor. for san francisco's largest walk to workday in history. very exciting. [applause]. >> on our walk this morning from soma, i saw in civic center a common -- i saw octopus and giraffe and otters, and i think the mayor was equally excited as i was for the yarn bombs as i was on the way to work. i just encourage you to get out and walk every for 15 minutes. you never know what you're going to discover. every year, annually on you can with a day, we all have the opportunity, myself, city leaders, businesses, residents, and community groups to

recommit to our goal of vision zero, the goal to end all severe and fatal traffic crashes by 2024. [applause] >> earlier this morning, in soma, with great civic leaders and also community groups like united players, we turned on a new traffic light on howard and russ, and it was a really wonderful moment to see school children walking on safe streets, and that is exactly what we want for vision zero. we're one step closer. i applaud all these leaders, all of them, for their commitment to prioritize walking as a critical part of our transportation system. and falg through with the funding that -- following through with the funding that's needed to get the infrastructure on the ground. finally, i have the pleasure of druzing the mayor of our great city, mayor farrell.

mayor farrell's commitment to safe streets runs deep from his days as city supervisor, his championing a number of ordinances for safer streets on the marina, and russian hill. it's great to have him here today. mayor farrell. >> thank you very much. everybody have a great walk to work today? i tell you, every time you do this, you feel better and better to be at work. you got your little work out in the morning. it's awesome. you know, i am pumped to be here. it was just mentioned, when you walk to work, you don't just get a work out, you discover great things about our city. thosyr those yrarn bombs, it is

amazing. it is awesome to see so many colleagues on the board of supervisors who are up here with us, department heads that walk to work, we have so many city employees that are embracing this, and it is awesome. i am pumped that we are all out here to spread the news, if you will, to get more and more people to do this. it is great that a number of years ago, vision zero came on the scene in san francisco and was talked about a lot at the board of supervisors, mayor lee embraced it. he had a number of directives over the last few years, and what's even more encouraging is that last year, we had the lowest number of accidents in the city of san francisco in 100 years on our streets, which is awesome. [applause]. >> but we need to do more, and it doesn't stop there, and we all know that. any accident, any death on our roads is unacceptable, and whether it's for motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, people who use public transportation or people who do everything, we need to make our roads safer, and i will just say as mayor of

this city, you will have my commitment to do so, and i look forward to forward on this vision zero policy. so thampgz, everybody. have a great day. i want to announce another great advocate for vision zero, the president of our board of supervisors, london breed. >> thank you, mayor farrell. when i grew up in san francisco, we used to walk together to school as kids, when we saw a senior crossing the street, we oftentimes would take their hands and walk them across the street. as we increase in population there is so much work to do with our infrastructure to make sure that people walking in our streets, especially our seniors, are safe. last year in october, dane grinberg, a 90-year-old man was hit and killed right in front of the home where he lived. we have got to provide the kinds of improvements that will dale with the infrastructure

necessary to make sure that people like david and others who have died on our streets unnecessarily do not do so in the future. vision zero is about changing that. vision zero is about making sure that we are daylighting and bulb outs, and all the stop signs and all of the lights and things in terms of our infrastructure keeps people safe as we move along this busy city. thank you so much for being here, and thank you to all of the leaders of the city departments in walk sf and continuing to be an advocate for public safety in san francisco. [applause]. >> and next, i'd like to bring up my colleague on the board of supervisors, from dristrict on, supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: we had a contingent that walked from the richmond down to city hall today. so i just want to thank d-1, and i see some other d-1

residents in the audioient, and i expect you to join us. i think this is wonderful in my district, the largest growing group are seniors in my neighborhood, so i'm a big fan of vision zero. also i just want to thank the mta for all the zebra crossings in the intersections in my neighborhood. and i want to thank all of our city partners here who are working to keep our public safe, especially our seniors and disabled folks, and people who are the most null neshl. but i just walked today. i feel really energyized. i did some grocery shopping on the way down here, so it's all good for dinner today. so i just want to say thank you, and everyone have a great day. thank you. >> oh, my god. and i just want to introduce my fapulous colleague on the board. his district is highly congested, so he is a big fan of vision zero, supervisor

peskin. thank you. i just want to thank walk san francisco for once a year making me get some other exercise. the only other day i get some exercise is when we bike to work. but in all seriousness, i hail from the corner of the city, district three, that has the highest number of individuals that walk to work. it is the densest part of the city. but all of san francisco is walkable. a few weeks ago we left our place in north beach and walked all the way to herron's head, and took the t-line back. the week before we walked from land's end and took the 38 back. i encourage everyone in san francisco to walk all over this great, great town. and from district six where we are standing, supervisor jane kim. [applause]. >> thank you, supervisor. it is always great to be here on walk to workday. this is now my eightth walk to

workday, and elizabeth stamp reminded me that when we did this eight years ago, we walked from civic center to city hall and it was just the three of us, but it was great, and it has since grown every year. this issue has been an issue that i have long worked on. in fact, the very first hearing i called for when i joined the board of supervisors in 2011 was a pedestrian safety hearing, and it was while campaigning that i learned that more individuals in san francisco are killed by cars than by guns in san francisco. and these deaths and injuries are 100% preventible. so i was really proud to work with supervisor norman yee who i'll be introducing after me and then supervisor john avalos introduced vision zero in 2014, and we are going to get to zero fatalities by 2024, i want to thank everyone, including sf

mta, the transportation authority for really working to fund the improvements and awareness and enforcement that we need to see in order to get to zero fatalities. and i'm proud of the fact of the 200 miles of improvements that we are seeing here throughout the city, that 40 of them are in the district that i represent, and we will continue to fight for more curb outs, daylighting of our streets, crosswalks and midblock crossing to make sure that the south bay and tenderloin with truly walkable for seniors and our youth. and now i want to bring up my colleague, supervisor norman yee. >> thank you very much. i am really proud that we are one of the first cities to actually adopt vision zero, and we are taking it so seriously. i'm glad that i get to walk. my goal is -- i have my step counts, and i'm only

averaging -- it's embarrassing. i'm only averaging a little over 5,000 a day, and my goal for the next few months is to bring it up to 7,000 a day, so i will force myself to walk even more. in fact today, i'm going to walk down to market and stockton for a meeting, rather than taking the bus, sorry reiskin. but i want to say that i've been working very hard with my neighbors to get safety projects into our streets in district seven, and we're putting flashing lights at crosswalks, we're -- we've been able to even slow down monterey boulevard, which everybody says couldn't be done because it was off a freeway. i want to also invite you for -- next friday, we're going to have a ribbon cutting of a major project that mayor lee and myself had teamed up to put together. it's really what we call safe

streets movie set that's going to be adopted for san francisco. it's the second one in the nation. the first one is in l.a. where they make movie sets all the time, so i'm really going to be proud of this one, because this is really catering to elementary school kids which will really get educated how to walk to school or wherever they want to go on safely. so please join us friday, april 13e at ge 13th at gene parker. now i want to introduce my colleague in district nine, hillary ronen. >> good morning, everyone. before i had a kid that i struggled to get out of the house and get to school on time, and when i lived and worked in the mission for six years, i walked to and from

work every single day, and let me tell you, it made my life so much better. so i encourage you, if you have the privilege to walk to work, do it. you get your blood pumping in the morning, you get to work more focused and energyized in a better mood. you realize things in your neighborhood that you never otherwise would have learned about. and at the same time, you're helping the environment every day. there's no reason not to do it if you can. i wish i could every day, but like my incredible colleague who i'm about to introduce, ahsha aven ahsha safai from district 11, it's not as easy when we raise our kids, but i do it when i can. so i encourage everyone to follow walk sf and walk whenever you can. ahsha safai. >> so i would not be a supervisor if i didn't have two

strong legs. i walked up and downhills all over my district and met 7,000 individual households. that's one of the proudest things that i can say about being supervisor is that i've walked every single corner of my respective district. people walk to their schools. we've worked with ed reiskin and mohamed nuru to immediately put in -- and tom mcguire and sf mta to take our school routes safer, to make our park routes safer. tilly chang, i found when i first came into office, we had $600,000 sitting in our n-tip money. we're going to spend every bit of that in my district. we're going to do everything that we can do to follow the principles that norman yee and jane kim and ed lee and every single one of you put out there

and crafted to make our city safer. we believe this is a walkable city, and it should continue to be safe and fun and livable, so thank you very much. i'm proud to introduce a great leader of our city, mr. ed reiskin. come on up. >> good morning. thank you all for being here. happy walk to workday. i'm ed reiskin, director of transportation here, and i think we all know that san francisco is a great city to walk in, one of the most walkable cities in the world, but we want it even more so. we want people to be save and we want people to feel save when they're walking in san francisco so they'll choose to make more trips on foot that you've heard from the folks behind me. that was really behind our embrace of vision zero in the city in 2014. during mayor lee's administration, we came together as a city and decided we're not going to accept the

fact that people need to be hurt or killed as they're trying to get around our city. we did it the ed lee way, by working together with all the different city departments, with all of our community partners, neighborhood organizations, individuals, because mayor lee recognized it would take a collective effort of everybody working together to redesign or streets, to get compliance with traffic laws, to he had everybody of their role because it does take everybody's role to make our streets safer. so that's what vision zero's about. walk to workday is a great reminder of the great away ways that the -- ways to get around the city on foot. thanks everyone for coming out. happy walk to work now. i want to bring up now -- i won't call him my partner in crime, but he's my partner in safety, the chief of police, bill scott. [applause]. >> good morning. so when you're this far down on

the list, you're trying to think of something original to say. i don't know if i can do that. but vision zero is about the people behind me. it's about laidership, about vision. mayor lee had the vision to get this started. it's also about respect, and that is up to us. safety on the road way is about respecting everyone else, respecting pedestrians when you are motorists, respecting bicyclists when you are a pedestrian, respecting each other. respect for each is great, respect for enforcement is great, but this is all about respect to each other. when you're out on the road, be kind, aboube courteous, and ret everybody's ability to be out here on the road. >> joanne hayes-white.

you can see there's consensus around pedestrian safety. thank you to walk sf, mta. far too often, san francisco fire department members have to respond to pedestrian injuries and fatalities. we want that reduced and eliminated. we're 100% behind vision zero. thank you, and if everyone can get along like we're getting along today, i would be the proudest san franciscan here. thank you. [applause]. >> thank you, joanne. mohamed nuru from public works. first of all, i just want to thank walk sf for all the great work that they do. they promote walking. they're very active, and it's through their work that we're able to celebrate a day like today. with you all the agencies behind us, everybody is really working hard to make our beautiful city walkable for everyone. it really is a great city. it's only seven by seven.

from public works, we'll do our part. most importantly what i want to say is, there is an hour class, an on-line video that you can learn about what vision zero is, and pass it onto a friend because it allows you to know the right way to across the street and the right way to do things here in san francisco. and i need to introduce debbie rafael from the department of environment. >> debbie rafael, department of environment. i just have a few words to say: walk for your heart, walk for your soul, walk for the planet. if we're all out there walking, we're not driving, and we're healing this earth that we live on, and we're showing the world what can be done for climate change, so many, many reasons to walk, and thank you walk sf for reminding us the importance of this mode of transportation. and speaking of transportation, i want to introduce tilly chang from the t.a.

[applause]. >> thank you, everyone. thank you. walk sf. happy walk to workday. every day's a great way to walk to work and school. thank you walk sf for making this day so fun and so meaningful. the transportation authority is real really pleased to be focused -- we've been asked to be focused on vision vee row, things like the soma and making sure that the ramp wills and crossings are safe. we're on 19th avenue, lombard, geary. we're going to be keeping it together to make sure that the streets of san francisco are safe, especially the high injury network. we're also going to make sure that the funding is there, so i encourage everyone to learn about regional effort 3, sb-1, and thanks everyone, and have a great day. the united players are next -- sorry. they were great. we heard from them this morning. >> thank you. thank you, tilly.

it is my pleasure to wrap up our annual walk to workday morning walk, and i want to thank everybody that's been here. it's been an amazing city family that's joined us today. i want everybody to take this energy and momentum into their work creating more walkable streets and neighborhoods and promote safe streets. before i end this program, i want to thank this year's walk sf sponsor, and san francisco is one of the most walkable cities because we have city support, private support. everybody's in this together as you can see, so thank you, everybody here, and have a great walk to workday.
