chairs. this is just illustrating the different components of that upper and lower plaza and also to show the general level of the plaza as they are today have been maintained, so we're keeping with that. and looking underneath the grove of cherry trees, illustrating the idea of flexibility on the day-to-day, this could be cafe bistro tables, and perhaps on the weekend, these could be moved out for areas for informal

exercise. next, we really wanted to investigate the history of water on the site, but we understand some of the constraints of water over a garage, so we found a dissolution, what we are calling the water mirror is a blend of the facilities of the site. you can see how it's been done in other places throughout the world. it can be drained quickly for events. it's really just a thin skim of water, but it has a very strong presence, and you can see from sitting under that pagoda terrace, the reflective quality it would give to the site, and another view looking to the pagoda, and you can see that being reflected in the water feature. as we move towards night, we start to think about how we can

represent the eternal flame, which was at one time a literal flame. it's now been relegated to a tiny flame in a glass block in one of the walls. what we're proposing is a small embedded flickering lights that at night could have a really nice overlay with the reflection of the pagoda and transform that space. as we move down toward the geary boulevard entry, you see it as it is today. it is a bit ominous along the bl boulevard, but it's a great opportunity to open up that stairway. we have that butterfly stair gives a larger opening, and we

thought art would be appropriate on that wall, and then, the parapet, thinking about it in a little bit different way, perhaps a screen on that to give it some cultural tie. this starts to become really more of a welcoming wall as opposed to what it is today. and we start to think about materiality, though we're still in concept phase. this site will have predominantly concrete paving. we really think the warm tone is important. if you've been there today. it doesn't feel warm, so any paving that we introduce, we do want to think about in this way? but in the lower plaza, we may have an opportunity to do some interesting paving expressions, so this could come through with stone paving or precast concrete. thinking about the wood terrace and other wood elements is really important. and then finally, all the walls throughout the site that could

be precast concrete or stone. this is a really important graphic to show that when there's a proposed design, the circular element still remains. here's some different examples of how event layouts could happen. so we worked with the community on actually checking with them how they staged event and how they could do that. on the left is the plaza today for cherry blossom, and on the right is how the cherry blossom could occur in the proposed design. with that, i would like two of the community members to come up and say a few words, but i would like to leave you with this, thinking about the reflective quality of the site and the pagoda, and with that, i'd like to hand it over to

sandy and alex. thank you. >> good morning, commissioners. my name is alice, and i'm a long time resident of japantown, also 30 years, but i am also very involved with the japantown task force. i'm also on the land use committee, and i'm currently on the peace plaza committee, as well. and i just wanted to come to -- you know, thank you for listening to our presentation. i know you're not going to be voting on anything, but i wanted to kind of remind you that this place that i live and many people visit is a place of history. it's a place where people will come to not only shop and eat there and dine there and visit but most importantly to feel the heart of the community, you

know, the pagoda and the peace plaza is the heartbeat of our community. this is where a lot of the festivals are presented. we have interfaith festivals with the clergy. when things are happening in our world, we join together there. this is also a place where people gather, they meet people, and they sit and they talk and they discuss. it's called the peace plaza because we hope when people come to our peace plaza, they feel peaceful, but they remember the history of our people and our culture. i come here today to number one thank the rec and park for putting together such a great way that the community can work together on giving feedback. i've been involved in all the different areas of outreach that we've done to the community, which is very

important. we've had focus groups to not only the youth to get their input, but also the seniors, which is a huge community living within japantown. i've been to the design cherette, which rec and park got together with the department of public works and our architects, and we all sat down at the table and discussed various issues and areas. and the most important was the community outreach meetings. we've had three of them, and they've been wonderfully received and also attended, which to us is really important to get the input of our community. and also, there are many visuals around the room, and there were areas where people could write notes, ask questions. our third one was just completed, and that's when we broke up into different groups and the different areas that

michael just mentioned. you know, the plaza itself, and the other areas, the entrances and everything, we broke up into different groups, and then, we were able to discuss them in detail and get more ideas and output-input on that. so this is not a -- you know, approved yet design, it's a design concept, so we wanted to share that with you today. there's going to be wonderful trees there, the calligraphy. the eternal flame and the water feature is still in discussion. we understand that water and the eternal flame is really important concept in our culture, so in some way, we want to have that included, so we're still in discussion about that. but today, i just wanted to thank you for listening to the informational segment of this

and to get your feedback on this, your thoughts. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is sandy morey, and i am representing the japantown task force board of directors. i am also here with richard hashimoto, director of the japantown merchants association. when he and his staff produced all these different ways of communicating, whether they be focus groups or surveys, we had

many different representations from all parts of the communities. we've had representations from nonprofits, residents who live in the area, churches, seniors, all the different business owners, japanese speaking people who had translated issues given to them, and youth. we really reached out to the youth because that's our future. part of this whole process, we also had very positively design advisors from the architectural ho rhaa. the importance of perspective is very important to us in the community, and with this whole peace plaza renovation, we

wanted this whole feeling of openness, and that's why a lot of people supported the idea of whole greenery, because we see a lot of concrete there now, and concrete is very cold. so we wanted to try to promote a little bit more warmth and feeling of being invited. the whole issue of a large permanent stage, that was also included, and cherry trees, and of course the boulders and the calligraphy that's been included in there, too. so we really wanted to give you an update of just what we've been dealing with and what we've been discussing, and we really welcome your comments and any ideas that you may have, too. thank you. >> great. thank you. >> good afternoon, cochairs,

richard hashimoto, o. i've been at the peace plaza pretty much my entire life. i started there at the japantown garage in 1977, right out of high school, so i've been through a lot of the problems, especially with the water. for the record, i'm just about the only opposition for any type of water feature because i lived through all the leaks at the plaza. i want to commend the recreation and park department. during the past two renovations of the plaza, community had no input, no input at all. the last time was essentially forced upon us to accept, and you see there, we're not proud

of it at all. you've probably seen the concrete fixtures. there's nothing cultural about that at all in my aspect, so i'm very pleased that the recreation and park department, public works, are willing to work with us in the community. it's purely community driven, and this is something that we would really like to see happen here, so thank you. >> great. thank you. so pretty much had public comment. >> still open it up for public comment. >> are there any member of the public that wish to speak to this item? seeing none, hearing none, close public comment. bring it back to the commission. >> commissioners? >> commissioner johnck?

>> my first question is what's the process from here? this is such an exciting happening that -- for us to hear about, and i've had several members of the city speak to me about what are you hearing about peace plaza, so it's very exciting to see this. i want to know what's the schedule for bringing something back? >> sure. i can speak only to planning review, so we will conclude our ceqa review, and then, i think rec and parks -- >> once ceqa review is complete, we can bring this back to park commission for concept design and approval. we're currently assessing how we can currently move forward with the next phases of design. the project is currently unfunded for construction, so we are awaiting on how we can figure that out. but -- but seeing if, in the meantime, we can still progress

the design to a certain point, so we're still assessing that. thank you. >> so it will be some months or what? >> we hope to move through design without much of a lag, but we do need to bring it to rec-park commission before we would start any future phases, so we're just waiting for the timing of ceqa and when we can get it on our park agenda, and then move from there. >> but you think this year? >> on rec-park commission for sure. >> okay. i was very since attuned to doug nelson's very nice letter that he wrote to us. doug and i have been collaborating on a cultural landscape program that we have been teaching at u.c. berkeley extension. i think it's excellent that he's been part of the process

to bring in both the historic and cultural aspects of the design. nature, i think is key and would be a wonderful aspiration to the project. that would be my chief point at this point in time. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner matsuda? >> yes, thank you. i just wanted to ask a couple of questions about procedure. what happens to our nomination? >> the nomination is currently on hold. >> mm-hmm. >> if nomination is to move forward, we would update the designation report and the ordinance to reflect the changed setting. >> changed setting to the plaza. >> right. >> okay. >> so commissioners, just to follow up on that, it would come back here. we'd have to pull it from the clerk, you'd have to re-review it and revise the ordinance

with the city attorney's office, and naturally, the japantown community would be informed of this and we'd likely go back to the japantown community to discuss those changes. >> i guess i have some discussions for rec and park. when you were having the cherettes, was there any talk about having a dry water feature? a dry water feature is very typical in a lot of japanese landscape, and it would maybe resolve the real water issue. >> yeah. we -- i think alice articulated it well that we want to see the presence of water here, whether physical or not, and so -- we have assessed other ways that we can represent water. >> was that considered -- a dry water feature considered? >> oh, yeah. >> and i think the concept is

very nice, but did anybody consider having the installation of maple trees on one side and cherry blossom trees on the other? cherry trees are beautiful, but they only last two weeks, and maple trees have leaves, and they're very beautiful in our fall here in san francisco. maple is also a very important japanese feature. >> yes. maples were considered, ginkos, some emblematic species, but specifically, maples were considered in addition to cherries, evergreens, and ginkos. >> and just one last question, i see that the proposed is recommending the relocation of

the three sided bar relief feature that is right in front on post street. and next on that is a rock, and on that rock is a description of why that was made. that was made to talk about specifically the three remaining japantown. and that was made because after people who are no longer of japanese american descent are around, that that rock and that bas relief will tell the story of the japanese community is, so i want to make sure that that accompanies wherever the structure goes. >> they should be seen as one, sure. >> yes. >> commissioner wolfram? >> i want to say, i want to thank you for your very well done presentation. the renderings, and the plans are really helpful in helping

us understand the process. i'm a big fan of the water, actually, the real water. i think if this garage roof can withstand the rain, which it has to, it can withstand some water. >> water always causes worry, though. >> it does, but it rains here six months of the year. >> they've been strapped with this water leakage issue for so long. >> but going back to the original design, there was a lot of water in the original design, and i like the idea of bringing it back. i think this is a really elegant way of bringing it back. i think there are a lot of great ideas here, and i look forward to seeing it continue. >> thank you. anyone else? so i have a couple comments. one is i'm happy to see such a robust community engagement process.

it's great to see all the community members coming out and participating in the evolution of this design. it's really important and useful. i did wonder if there was, some some of the early schemes, any scheme that kind of represented what the original design was, and if -- how that could evolve or be incorporated into any of the other schemes that you explored? >> sure. the one that probably most closely resembled that scheme was the frame. it was the most orthagonal, and people didn't like the frame because it reminded them of what was there today, not historically. we thought it was a really nice architectural feature to ground

it, but mostly everyone didn't like it because it cut the view of the pagoda, and that, we learned, is a very significant view for them. so the frame is probably the one that harkened back to the original design most but was least liked by the community today. >> commissioner wolfram? thank you. i was going to say, i think the idea in the original design, there was some sense of mystery. you didn't see it all at once. like now, it's just there, you see the whole pagoda at once. there's no sense of the unfolding of the design, and i think with that walkway, there is a sense of passage. i like that. i can see when you look at this concept of the frame, it does have this elements of the design unfold, and it's not seen all at once. >> so i think when this does

come back to us as an update on the landmark designation, one of the things that we're going to be evaluating is the last two design iterations really impacted the plaza, and the last two listed those remaining features that are still important, and so we'll be evaluating about whether it's lost its landmark designation. it does seem to be retaining all of those elements that have been identified as important. i do think the meaning and the memory of the original design had a significance. and just because it had been lost in the 2000 renovation and the one prior to that, i think it could still be brought forward. so i think how it gets

implemented, i can see either way. i think the terrace -- the trellice structure could be obstructing the view or it could be some kind of mystery. i'll leave that up to the community, but i think it's good to see a nice design as opposed to what's there. >> i think we all concur with that. >> right. >> you know, maybe had the evolution been this thoughtful, we'd still have some of the original design intent and still a beloved space. anything else? commissioner johnck? >> mr. chair, i do want to say one other things, too, because mr. nelson is a colleague of mine, but i do appreciate his intellect and his sensitivity

to design. he is trying to come up with -- with working with the community, both the retention -- the trajectory of bringing back the revitalization of the design with the new design, and there is an attempt to really try to do that so when we come to keep the landmark designation going, we can do that. >> some of the more successful projects that i've seen and been involved with, when you see something contemperary and new, you can still see the original design. okay. is that it? okay. adjourned.

>> ladies and gentlemen, the chair has called the meeting to order. please turn off the electronic

devices and they interfere in the room. stand for the pledge of allegiance. i pledge of allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. if i may call roll. >> please. >> clerk: [roll call] >> clerk: commissioner hirsch, you have a quorum and with us is the department of police accountability.

>> commissioner: thank you. welcome to the april 17, 2019 meeting of the san francisco police commission. we're meeting in the bay view district. i thank the bay view district for hosting us and the captain for hosting us tonight. we do appreciate it. we'll have a special report from the captain and staff. we don't have a very full agenda so we will allow three minutes for public comment and the end and we're ready for the first item. >> clerk: line item 1, chief's report. weekly crime trends and provide an overview of the trends and incidence. the chief's report will have a report on the incident and commission discussion will be limited to discuss whether to calendar the events for a future commission meeting.

>> good evening, chief. >> good evening, commissioner hir hirsh. my report is short tonight. i have a couple crime trends and a couple significant incident. captain mathews will give the state of the bay view district he is the commanding officer and captain of bay view. to start with the crime trends for this week. overall part one, crimes were down 15%. and total volume we're down 16% year to date and homicides we're incident below where we were yed last year.

we had a homicide last week. eight of the 10 homicides this year have been cleared. seven cleared by arrest and one was an exceptional clearance and two are still open. we're pleased with the clearance rate because 80% is pretty exceptional. so our investigators have done a really nice job on that thanks to the help of specializing on the gang task force and district captains and it's been a good collaborative team effort to make an accident in the homicides at least solving the ones we have so we're pleased with that. looking at gun violence, we are down 18% over 2018 which is also good news. in property crimes we're down 15% and auto burglaries are done 15% compared to last year and down 31% compared to this time

2017. that's also good news. i mention the homicide and i mentioned homicides for the year and it occurred in the tenderloin district on april 9. at 1:23 in the afternoon a victim was on the 300 block of eddie where he got into an argument with the property manager at that location. the victim was knocked unconscious and transported to a hospital. three days later on april 12, the victim died from his injuries. so that case is actually still open though we did make an arrest on that. we still have work to do and we're working with the prosecutors to see whether or

not they will file that case. and the suspect is no longer in custody on that as well. we had a couple of incident this past week incident that garnered media attention. one an attempted kidnapping that occurred april 12 at 12:15 in the afternoon. it occurred at 17th and market street. a child was welcoming next to his mother, a 2-year-old mother, i might add, when our subject approached them from behind. the subject picked up the child and began to walk in the opposite direction. the mother ran after the subject, grabbed on to him and due to her screaming for help, the bystanders in the area gave assistance and gave chase for the suspect for several blocks until detaining until until police arrived. the subject is an australian

residents and arrived in san francisco two days prior for a visit. he is in custody and that case has been filed by the district attorney's office. we were able to get good evidence. the case has been filed but the investigation is still ongoing. we don't have a motive at this point. seems like an isolated incident but it got a lot of attention, deservedly so and unfortunately no one was injured and the child was okay. we had another incident that got media attention. there was a series of swastikas painted in buena vista park, quote, no and the swastika sign and the park and there was graffiti that read no hate.

it looked to be intended to be an anti-hate message however the swastikas were painted over by rec and park. we have not identified a suspect in that particular case.but it looks like from the totality of what was written it was supposed to be an an tie-hate message but we did take a report for the vandalism and sass ti can -- swastika but it get media attention. traffic again, we had not so good a week with our traffic, injury, collisions we had three versus pedestrian injuries during the week and one vehicle versus bicycle that resulted in serious injuries. we have stepped up our enforcement. as a said to the commission before on vision zero traffic, traffic violations and our

traffic company along with our district station officers have been asked to focus on the issue. again we ask for the public's help in compliance with the rules of the road are helpful and we're asking the public to continue to not be distracted by your personal devices when you're driving. and we have a distracted driving campaign going this month as well we hope will make a difference in that regard. we're constantly working to realize our vision zero by 2024 but we've gotten off to a busy start with traffic collisions and injuries and deaths, 2019. we did a press conference this week with supervisor fewer and mandolin trying to get the message out to the public about traffic safety and to slow down and obey the rules of the road. hopefully our public awareness

and education will make a difference in bringing the traffic collisions down and we'll continue to work on that. those are the highlights for the week. i just want to announce we have in the room members of our command staff along with i mentioned captain matthew and jeffery maddux in field operation zero and deputy chief moser and commander daryl fong from field operation zero. we'll be around if anyone wants to talk or engage after the meeting. we'll be here. that is my report to the commission. >> thank you. any questions of commissioners of the chief? hearing none we're ready for the next item. >> line item 1b, dpa director's report. it the be limited to a brief discretion of dpa activities and

announcements and discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for future commission meeting. >> so we have a number of updates. cases that we have that are open now are at 189 versus 159 this time last year. in terms of cases closed we're at 184 versus 137 this time last year. cases pending we're now at 291 versus 256. this time last year we had a longer number of case than in a hong -- long history. and the cases are past the 270-day mark which i tag and report on every week we're at 26. this time last year we were at 30.

in terms of cases mediated, six versus five. five was last year. there was a lot going on last week mostly with mediation or not mediation, with budget meetings and the mayor's office and more meetings with our proposed conversations with the sheriff's department which i'll have more to share when i have more to share. right now we're all in negotiation. and we're monitors are finally here. i know it's a big deal for my staff. not until today did we get the dual monitors. it's something i've been working on for months but they're finally here. it seems like a small thing but it's a big deal and we've been trying to get the monitors for a long time. they just came in today. the staff is pretty excited about that and it comes at a

time the sales force people are in our office. they're embed in our office and started this week doing the work to connect with our staff to help us finish planning the case management system. the other thing done this week is the budget report's been submitted to the mayor's office which i talked about earlier. we had a couple outreach events. i wanted to recognize and acknowledge on the 10th of this month, my staff went out to nine of the district station to deliver and make sure the brochure in the stations. this is something we hadn't done in the past that i put on my outreach team to make sure they're actually going to the stations to make sure the stations have what is there and the stations that have run out of brochures they're replenishing those things. also on that day, my staff gave

a presentation to a group of community members at the golden gate valley library. it's a presentation my office developed along with the brochure. th, my outreach staff met with and presented sa office victim's home presentation at the embarcadero center. also on the 16th, my staff participated at the terra bill station community meeting. we have an upcoming workshop in case folks are interested on tuesday april 23 at the san francisco main library and this one is geared for an audience of youth to talk about the know your rights brochure as it's being disseminated to the various community groups.

and in case folks have questions about it, the outreach team is -- i have full-time staff doing some of the outreach coordination and implementation and i encourage a lot of the employees are at dpa participate in the outreach stuff as well which is how we handle a lot of the staffing. present in the audience today in casish use come up is my -- issues come up is my chief of staff and one of my lawyers and senior investigator steve ball in case anything comes up that is relevant for the community that we can answer questions for. that's it. >> what time is the workshop on the 23rd? the know you're rights presentation at the library? >> yeah.

>> don't know. i have to let you know. i'll send an invite to all the commissioners so you guys have it. >> okay. any questions from commissioners? >> one. the monitors, what is their role? >> you know we have dual monitors and the reports came out it increases the efficiency up to 30%. we've never had them. part of the problem we couldn't order them because we didn't even have the hardware. our computers -- we didn't have. so i got computers. we got monitors. the new monitors are just now getting here so we can install them. we've had old monitors and single monitors until today. >> you mean physical computer?

>> you're thinking something sophisticated like a monitor. no, we're now getting physical monitors into type and view the things. >> and i hear next you'll get key boards. >> and you're laughing but it's not funny. we did get key boards and i didn't even tell you about them because i didn't think you'd be that interested with it. it's going to make a big difference when we get the c.m.s. system. all of this is the foundation. we didn't have the hardware but it's a big deal for us to have. everybody's excited. >> can i ask a follow-up on that. you mentioned salesforce sin your office. the d.p.a. has purchased a c.m.s. system through salesforce. >> it's not through sees -- salesforce it's a subsidiary and

they do the consult ing and we had a competitive bid but they're part of it. >> is this software consistent or specific? >> both. part of what they're to do is to create a system that interfaces both with external partners and for the public >> what do you use for case management right now. the green screen with little dots. >> we're still using them and again it was a complete reboot for the system for the agency when i got there and it's a lot of moving parts all happening at the same time.

we didn't have the hardware. we didn't have the software. we didn't have the website. it's all coming. >> most my staff is excited to rush to it as well. >> any questions for director henderson? >> i wasn't sure what you were talking about. >> i got excited and i was talking louder. you'll see it all with the relaunch and we'll invite everybody in to come and see the new agency after we move. otherwise i would have invited you to come and see and look at the monitor but i figured i'd wait to unveil all of it when we

move. >> next item. >> item 1c commissioner report. it will be limited to a brief discretion of activities and announcement and discussion limited to determine whether to calendar the issues raised for a future commission meeting commissioner report and report from each commissioner on status of assigned projects. >> commissioner: thank you. i've asked each commissioner tonight to give a very brief maybe a couple of minutes report on everything they're working on as commissioners because i think part of our responsibility is in addition to encouraging the department to have greater transparencies and have greater transparency ourselves. i think the public should know, if they care, what the commission is doing and what we're working on. i'm going try to make this

either quarterly or semiannually a report so the public is kept abreast of what we're doing. as president i see it as my responsibility to keep the commission on track and moving forward with whatever our responsibilities are. and we're responsible for oversight of the department and for the dpa -- d.p.a. and policy matters as well as disciplinary matters. we take all three responsibilities seriously and that's what we're pursuing now. a lot of time is being spent the reform measures that have been under consideration and implementation for the last two years. that's going to remain a big responsibility for this commission going forward. i think into the foreseeable future. specifically as to what i do, i'm on the accountability

executive sponsor working group where our primary focus is on transparency of the department and developing relationship between the d.p.a. and internal affairs. operations and communications. i'm also working on a charter amendment that will redefine and recreate the appeal process that an officer is entitled to go through when he or she is charged with misconduct and there's a discipline hearing. there was a court case that forced us to change what we're doing. we've drafted a charter amendment. it was approved unanimously by the commission and it's in city hall and the mayor's office will get it and it will go on to the balance and hopefully it will go to march. i've also worked on discipline

matrix and we're finalizing that and we had a matrix that was about 25 years old. and so commissioner elias and i work the d.p.a. have worked on that and bring it to the commission some time in the next month or so for final approval and implementation. that also has to go to meet and confer because it's a mandatory subject of collective bargaining so the p.o.a. gets to negotiate over that as well. i'm working on the collaborative reform effort on may 1, we're going have a presentation by both the department and the private entity, hillard heinz which has been brought in as the subject matter expert and they'll give an update to the public that will probably take an hour or more with both

groups. just letting us all know where they are and what they've done to date and where the reform process is currently and where it's going. and finally, i have a few cases assigned to me that are disciplinary matters and the way that works is a single commissioner is assigned the responsibility of overseeing the hearing process for disciplinary matter. so if an officer is charged with wrongdoing, one of the commissioners here will conduct the hearing and then the destination will be made by the body after the hearing's been conducted and each one of us has cases assigned to us. that's what i have to report. let's go down the line and start with commissioner hamasaki and have a full report. >> thank you, president hirsh. the matters i've been involved with recently on the commissioner i'm on the use of force working group though i've not had a meeting recently i've

been able to attend. i have acted in two other -- one is a commission working group we formed relating to release reports to victims of domestic code violence. in my view we had a successful process. i think all sides came together and made positive contributions. perhaps not everybody left 100% happy but that's the nature of working groups and implementing reforms. so that process is now moving through our bulletin is moving through concurrence and hope to roll it out very shortly. i was also on the death and hard

of hearing working group and on the scope of there's going to be a new general order, training to help train our officers in interacting with people deaf and hard of hearing and providing accommodation so that's hard of hearing individuals can communicate with law enforcement officers in the station and on the field. i'm also in a language access working group along with commissioner dejesus but i haven't had a chance to attend the meeting recently and then i've been working along with presidents hirsh, commissioner taylor on the d.o.j. reforms that have been a long process

but as president hirsh just stated the first leg of the reform process there's progress made. it's been an extraordinarily heavy lift by the department and partners and a lot of the first section of the reform plan was spent putting in standards by which the reforms will be judged. so we'll hear more about that on the 1st. those the main issues i've been involved with. >> commissioner: thank you. i also have discipline cases i work on and i go to community events but i am the liaison with the early intervention system,

e.i.s. system and on the recruitment committee. they're department of justice reform issues and on the recruitment committee looking into hiring and retention of police officers in san francisco and how to implement processes and we'll look at three languages in common use in the bay area and i also was a victim

of crime and had to take care of business like get a car. so i'm working on the chief evaluation form and also on the website committee. we're remaking the website and of course i talked about community and discipline events. >> hi, everyone. i see some young people in the audience so i don't know if you know what the commission does. i'm going take a step back and explain that to you. the commission oversees and we're all private citizens and we set the policy for the san francisco police department and we also oversee discipline cases for individual officers when thigh -- they mess up.

we have meetings in the evening and we have day jobs. so we have working groups and community efforts and part of what we're describing for you is what we do in addition to what we do here in these regular wednesday meetings. so as part of that i'm on the serious incident review board and also on the bias working group and there's a working group surrounding getting victims of domestic violence, elder abuse, access to police reports and we can get temporary restraining orders against abusers and it's also under d.g.o. 16 and we got agreement from a broad based community group and i'm on the use of force working group.
