8:00 pm
strengthen the relationships, use the lawyers to really help train the investigators on issues like the fourth amendment and other issues that come up in investigations. same thing, we want to use the cms use our tools to be more effective in our work and capture data. what are the trends we are noticing that need to lead to policy revisions? what are the trends we are noticing that maybe eis isn't picking up and what do we do with that? it's something we are constantly thinking about. with regard to policy, we, again want to deliver excellent policy recommendations that are backed by best practices. we want to be able to communicate those in an effective, understandable approachable and adoptable sort of way. and we want those policy decisions to come from data to come from not just an he an he can anecdotal data. a lot are
8:01 pm
related to specific cases especially around domestic violence and language access. but i have a lot of questions like when the use of force policy changed, how did that impact what cases were coming through dpa. that sort of thing. so mediation again we've talked a lot about how director henderson expanded the mediation program. we want to increase the amount of mediations we do in cases that are appropriate. we think that one of dpa's overarching goals is to help bridge the gap between the community and sfpd. when we presented my comment was use the force right? like we might be able to help in those one on one interactions where a community member just needs to be heard. so i don't want to still share an ugly but i will say we have been increasing mediations and we want to keep doing that. we
8:02 pm
want to strengthen partnership and relationships with law enforcement through the mediation program, obviously most officers aren't thrilled to come to dpa for an investigation, right? but i have heard that they are engaged in the mediation program, a lot of times they find that beneficial. we want to increase the number of mediations. this gets back to our performance metric, increase number of mediations as well as increase satisfaction as measured through surveys by the officer and by the community members who are part of the mediation. outreach has been a huge thing that director henderson has prioritized. and i think we've already expanded the outreach a lot which has resulted or i can't prove a causal connection but i think there is an inference to be made that the increase in outreach has led to increased number of complaints because we are out in more communities. we are out in communities where we have people
8:03 pm
who speak that language who are doing the outreach. we really worked on language access. the department has been a great partner with us in terms of getting our materials available easily at the district stations. it's kind of where do we go next. we want to be speaking in a uniform way in the community and have it be a two-way dialogue where we are not just pass out fliers. we also want to be a resource in partnership with community agencies. our metric for measuring this is increased awareness for mission and service and strengthening the engagement with other partners in the community. finally the administration and clerical team, we want to build our administration capacity, increase internal alignment which is just, again, a lot of what i have done is internal and it's not that exciting to talk about. but it is getting everybody
8:04 pm
on the same page, getting our work flows and our processes to be efficient. so that we are not wasting time there. we are really spending the extra time on all the other work that we need to do. and improving tools and processes like the cms. so that is our strategic plan. one of the ways we really want to use it, i don't know how you all feel, but in our line of work it feels like there's always an emergency. and there's always a new project. and we kind of needed a grounding document that we are like, okay, if this isn't urgent, has to be taken care of, is this something that fits within our priorities, if not, it's not going to be prioritized right now because this is the heart and soul of what we are trying to do as an agency. >> commissioner mazzucco. >> thank you very much. that was a great report. thank you for not reading everything. you didn't have to. it was excellent. i have a question, though, with reference to three to five-year strategic plan.
8:05 pm
nowhere in here is mentioned the fact you are taking over the investigations for the sheriff's department. >> so there's two -- there's actually three things that are not in here and i'll speak to all of them. when we started making the strategic plan this year, cases were not even on our radar. and we had limited engagement to be able to finish. and this document is a product of digging deep with what was already happening at dpa. so this is a living document which will be updated to include not just the sheriff's cases depending on how that goes forward but also the audit unit. and also the 1421 or public record group. so none of those are in here. and it's a living document that we'll flesh out as we go. we now have the tools to run those sort of sessions so i don't think we'll need that to come back in order to do that. so i would anticipate an update once those things are finalized. >> i'm proud that the sheriff's department and city should
8:06 pm
decide you should do the investigations because you are qualified to do that. i'm concerned about obviously staffing. and i'm also concerned somewhere down the road, which will involve the city attorney opinion we as a commission oversee the police department and the dpa but we don't oversee the sheriff's department. so where does our role in overseeing the dpa and your investigations of the sheriff's department, where do we fit into that puzzle? so those are things for the future. that we need to discuss as a commission. and congratulations. and i think this shows faith and confidence in what you are doing. i have some concerns about how it gets handled structurally. so that was my question question, where does that fit into the strategic plan. i imagine there will be an amendment. >> exactly. >> thank you. >> i appreciate that comment. i have talked to commissioner brookter about that and asked since he is our point person with the dpa to start working with the city attorney, so that we can get some comfort in knowing
8:07 pm
what it is that the supervisors think that we are going to do and what is it that the charter really requires that we, the commission, do. because we do have oversight of the dpa but not the sheriff. and we do need to wrestle through that. thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. anything else from the dpa's report? >> that's enough. >> it is. next item, please. >> line item 1c, commission reports will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for future commission meetings. commission president report, commissioner reports. >> two quick items. i have asked there be a 1421 presentation in november. i'm not clear on the date. it will either be the first or second meeting. i think probably the second meeting, from the commission, from the dpa, from the department. second i meet with hillard and cal doj today to
8:08 pm
get an update on the implementation of the reform measures that were recommended by the u.s. department of justice a few years ago. there will be a greater presentation to the public and commission in a few months. but things are moving along. it's not going quickly but it is going effectively. and i guess we can be happy for that part. other commissioners with reports? commissioner elias. >> we met the working group met this week. we went over -- or to let you know the 5.17, has been essentially completed and reviewed by the chief who had some comments that were taken back to the working group. what we are working now is 5.03 which is the investigation because it was so ingrained in the sort of bias dgo. our next meeting is october 21st. we are hoping to have that finalized.
8:09 pm
and it's my understanding chief, you are simultaneously reviewing sort of what's coming out from the working group so that when we do have these final documents concurrent it's not going to deviate that far from what the recommendations that have come out from the working group and from you. >> that's correct. >> that was a huge issue last time. >> 5.03, detention. >> right. and then i'm anticipating they will be up for review or agendize probably the first meeting in november is what we are looking at. because i think we could probably get it to the chief and through concurrent in november, come back december and ageneral agendize and get it going. >> i was told today there are several recommendations from u.s. doj that are being held up by those two general orders.
8:10 pm
so we do need to get those moved. okay. next item, please. >> line item 1d, youth commissioner's report. >> i don't know if we have that. do we have a youth commissioner's report today? great. thank you. >> good evening. i think we talked about how bad these microphones are. good evening, commission. the youth commission last time we were here, we were asking for this standing agenda item. now we have it. so we felt that it would be important to, one say thank you because we think that young people often don't get included in the conversations in transparency, especially with the police, so therefore we appreciate the position. the other things we want to do is just state our priorities
8:11 pm
and things that we want to see. and then we go back, we talk about them. and next time we come, we ask more questions i'm assuming. so with that, some of our priorities, specifically from our transformative justice committee, are knowing your rights workshops for young people, people of color and undocumented people consolidating resources and knowledge to share for interactions with law enforcement building better relationships with police and young people, and believing in community care solutions that don't involve incarceration therefore we are closely involved with, like, the juvenile hall the mayor blue ribbon panel radical imagination committee and the closure. we feel
8:12 pm
there's a disproportionate amount of youth in jail systems. and we are also working with the dgo working group on youth arrests. so those are some of our priorities. and as for things we want to see, we really want a wort back from the community engagement division of the police department to see how they are interacting with young people. i heard some of that earlier, like the pal program. maybe this isn't my time to complain about things. [laughter] . >> no, it's an open mic. >> for instance, i have a disability, i don't really play sports. but i attended public schools all my life. haven't really had interactions with police officers that were, like positive at school, you know. they would just say
8:13 pm
hello and shake my hands. they do nice things? i don't know. i don't know why. maybe the people at the police department can look into that more. and so we want to see how they influence young people. and that goes into just what we expect from ourselves and a better understanding of what they do and how they actually interact with the schools not just the administration at schools. and we would like to see more person to person interaction with the young people from srros. and the information that is being gained from police town halls that they host with you, we really want to see what the implementation is around the information they gather there and make sure that the community voice is valued and things are put in place. any questions? >> yeah. i just want to ask you going back to your first
8:14 pm
priority training on rights. what did you have in mind? does the youth commission have in mind something that's put on by the police department or by dpa or some entity that gives youth an understanding a better understanding of their legal rights? >> yeah, and i think that's an ongoing conversation we have to go back and look at some things. but some things that we've mentioned are like, workshops at schools where we can pass out some sort of pamphlet and talk young people through that pamphlet so they have a better understanding of rights they have. but again, we are still looking at that. and it will probably progress, maybe we'll talk about that the next time i come back. >> okay, thanks. commissioner elias. >> thank you for presenting. and welcome this is your first sort of presentation. one of the things i wanted to sort of let you know and ask the chief, i know during our working group, we were able to see the youth
8:15 pm
pamphlet that is going to be distributed regarding sort of like a know your rights type of pamphlet but it talks about what happens when the police come up to you and whether you are free to go and what to do and sort of what happens when juveniles interact with the police. so i wanted to know, one chief if the youth commission has been consulted with respect to the pamphlet that you it's my understanding the department is working on. and if they have been consulted and if they haven't, i would like them to be consulted prior to getting the pamphlet printed and out there to the community. because i think the youth commission would have some valuable input on that process. >> yes, commissioner. so one of the things i directed was that we actually sit down with youth with our draft pamphlet. >> right. >> to discuss it and see if they understand it. so we are reaching out to several youth groups. and we will include
8:16 pm
the youth commission on that, in that discussion. but we have already begun that process. and we want to see if they understand the pamphlet, and two provide feedback if -- if there's something we can do better to make it clearer or more understandable. that's the purpose of these meetings. so that's already been directed. i don't think the youth commission was added to that list but we will add it. >> i know in our bias working group we had a long discussion about the pamphlet. but i think it makes sense to have the youth commission's input. because from an adult -- they were mostly lawyers in the room. but sort of that perspective is way different and probably more complicated than your perspective would be on this issue. so i think that's a very valuable piece. >> okay. vice president taylor. >> thank you so much for your presentation. commissioner elias mentioned our bias working group and we did spend a
8:17 pm
lot of time on the know your rights brochure and both dpa and sfpd are developing know your rights pamphlets that are geared towards having understandable information for young people on what your rights are. and she's right, there were a lot of lawyers in the room, and we all had strong opinions about what the pamphlet should look like. i pose the same question to dpa because they spent a lot of time on their pamphlet as well. so i think it would behoove all of us to make sure that the young people who are actually the audience of the pamphlet are involved, engaged in it. and after the training, i think dpa did include the youth commission. >> they were part of it. >> great. and after the training, i think that's a fantastic idea. and thank you so much for is suggesting it and maybe you can get together with someone from the department or dpa and kind of flesh out the idea for what that training would
8:18 pm
look like, what would be most helpful for you all because i think that's a really great idea. as to your question about how officers interact with young people, so much of what we do on this commission as commissioners is we'll learn from smart people like you and we'll ask the chief to put something to agendize a matter for calendar so we can explore it further. so if you have a more kind of details around what you would like to know, when you say how often they interact, we'll ask for the chief to agendize it. so i would like to get more information from you as to what it is you are looking for if you thought about it. >> yeah. i could answer for myself but i would want to go back to the committee and make sure that we are all on the page. but i will very quickly say that i've actually been
8:19 pm
trying to get with someone in the department to kind of work on stuff like that. so feel free to reach out to me. youth commissioner, vice president of tj committee. i also -- house if anybody. >> we definitely need a car. >> i have a friend that's a cadet so i'm working with him to meet with people he knows in the department because he knows more than me. >> i think if you have someone that takes names and numbers. >> i think that's what's going to happen. >> feel free. >> we have a secret person. >> text me. >> phone numbers for you. >> commissioners. >> go ahead. >> i was going to thank him. >> commissioner hamasaki. >> oh. just kind of following up on
8:20 pm
know your rights, director henderson. >> yes. >> i don't mean to interrupt your conversation. he's making his presentation. but has dpa done know your rights before with youth? >> we have. and we worked really closely with the youth commission. >> it was related? >> it was. i was asking. >> a subcommittee was going on. >> i was asking what the role of the public defender was in that process and the know your rights stuff my familiarity with that process in the past had involved the public defender's office as well as some of the other law schools and the street law component where they would do. >> street law nice. yeah. >> in my role now at dpa i know that we worked side by side with the youth commission to develop the pamphlet we put together. and i think we were all trying.
8:21 pm
>> i've done know your rights trainings. there's a lot of material out there. there's know your rights training specific to immigrants. so it would be great if dpa could work with the youth commission to develop some sort of regular know your rights training to help young people understand that they actually do have rights when engaging with law enforcement and so forth and that helps make the interactions more positive for everybody involved. so i appreciate you bringing that to us. you did a fabulous job tonight. i can't afford a house in the bay area but if i do ever hit the lottery i'm calling you. >> i just wanted to thank mr. jones as well. i know we meet on a prior occasion. two things, we do meet -- i meet with the youth commission on a regular basis. and i've been doing that since i arrived here. so i would invite you to work out with your fellow commissionerses would love for you to attend the next meeting. the other
8:22 pm
thing just for your information, working with kids with disabilities, you are near and dear to my heart. so we have started an internship through the school system for kids with disabilities. that started about a year ago. we've been working with kids. they worked with our unit, working with the horses. and they've also done some internships at our community engagement division. so that program actually is going again this year. so just wanted to point that out to you. and we would love to hear your suggestions. >> sounds like i like you guys more than i know.-[laughter] >> as for youth commission stuff been out of town for two weeks so i'm catching back up. i went out of the country and now i'm back so i'm catching up on stuff. but i'll look into that. maybe i can meet with you as well. >> commissioner brookter. >> thanks again. i know mr. jones
8:23 pm
have known him for years. so it's amazing. this isn't his first time at a microphone. i did want to share, it would behoove us as we finish up to potentially run that by the youth commissioner, and that was one of the things you wanted to look into. so take a look at that mou before it gets solidified, that would be good. >> commissioner mazzucco. >> i want to thank you mr. jones, for coming forward tonight. you do great work on the youth commission. and you have our attention. you have the chief's attention. and it's important that you do what you can do for the city and the youth commission. to my fellow commissioners, two of the most insightful opportunities we've had tonight are from the youth that have spoken. they have been clear unambiguous and insightful. between you and the pal cadet that came forward, that's probably the most
8:24 pm
beneficial aspect of tonight so thank you. >> thanks very much. >> thank you very much. >> next item, please. >> line item 1e, commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings. action. >> any announcements? okay. seeing none, next item, please. the public is now invited to comment on items 1a through 1e. >> all right. this is not general public comment yet. it's comment on what we have discussed already. so anybody who has comments on that, please. >> good evening commissioners. thank you for being here this late. my name is jodine and i'm the executive director of walk san francisco. we are the only pedestrian advocacy organization in san francisco making our streets safe for everyone. the organization that really helped pass vision zero in 2014. it is the goal of eliminating all severe and
8:25 pm
fatal car crashes in san francisco by 20224. and the sfpd is part of the vision zero commitment with the goal of 50 percent traffic citations on the top five focus on the five. unfortunately the numbers this year of people dying from traffic violations has been many. we've already seen 14 and this includes one mildchild and one person on a bike. so we are equal to 2018 numbers and we still have several months left. as we heard tonight from commander perea the sfpd has a lot of work to do to meet its part of the goal. can i put this year? sorry. as you can see from my graph, the focus on the five has been plummeting the last few years. we know the numbers of trips has gone up. 170,000
8:26 pm
additional trips per day has been from lyft and uber alone. we know 60 percent of those drivers don't live in san francisco. we hear that it feels like the wild west out there and we know enforcement has been part of it. in 2015 we had 41,000 focus on the five citations. this year, we are tracking to only meet 2018 numbers. and that's half, that's only 20,000 focus on the five. we know that driver behavior change is definitely necessary but that's not the only ask. i want to ask that we are looking at the citations on the most dangerous streets. i have been asking and i hope that you can ask this too, we would love to see where the citations are being given. we saw tonight the tenderloin, we know every street in the tenderloin is on a high injury network and those numbers are pittance. the same thing with
8:27 pm
southern station. what san francisco has been asking for and i encourage you to inquire where the locations are for the focus on the five. and if this commission can commit to making sure that we are laser focused on these dangerous streets. we all deserve to be safe. thank you very much. i look forward to working with commission, the new commander and also acting captain. thank you very much. >> i want to ask you a question. >> absolutely. >> when you say where the violations are, are you asking for an exact location, address or just which station. >> no, we have all the stations. i'm asking for the streets. because we have the high injury network map. so we know where these streets are that have the most dangerous conditions where people are speeding, running red lights, doing all the five, not yielding to pedestrian in crosswalks we have all that mapped. so my question is where are these citations being given? are they being given on
8:28 pm
those streets? >> thank you. >> any other questions? >> any other public comment on the items we've addressed already? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. next item. >> line item 2 general public comment. the public is welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on tonight's 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 dpa personnel. under police commission rules of order during public comment neither police nor dpa or commissioners are required to respond to comments made by the public but may provide a brief response. they should refrain from entering into any debates or discussions with speakers during public comment. >> linda chapman. what i was being investigated by the sheriff's deputy for weapons, he said
8:29 pm
to me i hope you have an enjoyable evening. and i will have as a result of our various encounters, eventually will be able to have the case investigated properly and also reform the procedures in the special victims unit. and eventually i'm going to suggest a few small changes. but right now i just want you to know for sure what an extreme public danger exists as a result of the failure of the police to investigate this. this was not just my impression the special victims advocate at the da's office and adult protective services were deeply concerned about this as a matter of public safety. we have a deranged nurse who is practicing medicine unauthorized medicine, and playing doctor. and i told the police investigators that i would not be able to predict if she is going to be a serial
8:30 pm
sexual predator but i don't have any doubt i was not the first person she played doctor with and i will not be the last. when you wake up at 5:30 in the morning and there's a registered nurse there registered nurses or any of the others are not allowed to practice anything on patients unless it's in the written plan, unless an emergency comes up. and the written plan was that sent me a tablet from gynecology which in the daytime a nurse gave me, had nothing to do with 5:30 in the morning. in her mind she made a connection that it came from gynecology there must be information, i'm going to begin the pelvic examination. so i wake up with this woman suddenly pulls off my clothes didn't take time to turn on the light or put on gloves even, sticks her hands in my pubic area and rubs back and forth. of course there was nothing to observe.
8:31 pm
she didn't even acknowledge my existence as a person. they are all required to tell you what they are planning to do. i could have been a mannequin. but she talked to herself. she said, i don't see anything. because that's what she was there for she came for this examination. she couldn't see why she didn't see this thing she made up in her mind and when i suddenly shouted at her, what are you doing, she said medication. so that was the thing that set her off. and we all know what happens when there are nurses who engage in their own practices. there was one who was caught after 300 deaths many are never caught. there must be many people who become ill or die because of people like this running around. and until that nurse and the administrate administerrer at the jewish home are out of the field i will never give up on this subject. >> is this something is department is aware of? i would
8:32 pm
invite you to speak with a representative from sfpd. >> we'll follow up. i'm not aware of that case, but we will follow up. >> thank you. >> have a good evening ma'am. >> good evening commissioners. my name is brian with the public defender's office. dpa published its 2018 annual report last week. 275 days late. the data report was confusing. since i have a few minutes to speak i'm going to highlight three points. first they report that 59 percent of sustained cases nine month internal completion goal but 293 percent improvement over the previous year. i did the math. the math suggests that just 15 percent of cases met
8:33 pm
that goal. i realize the goal was just a benchmark. both the percentages receive a failing grade in any school. an increase sounds impressive but sounds absurd under scrutiny. they said the public filed one misconduct allegation. of those officers 85 percent had more than one allegation. actual numbers instead of percentages which are the more vivid story. that story is this. nearly 600 had more than one allegation in a single year, over 200 had one nearly every other month and 55 had one almost every month. the way they present the data matters and here they present data in a way that obscures what's happening and that's imbalance. finally, dpa claims in appendix a the chief lowered the punishment in nine cases. i went through the cases and identified how often the chief lowered the discipline from a
8:34 pm
written reprimand to no punishment. i found at least 60 instances when it happened. i don't know how this represents the number of nine. that undermining the credibility of the report. so mathematical mistakes are one thing misrepresenting the truth is another. so i'm looking forward to next week's presentation. we can dive into statistics a bit more. thank you. >> thank you. >> any other public comment? general public comment? >> good evening ms. brown. >> yes, good evening everyone. i would like to use the overhead. i'm a little tired today. as usual i always come here to talk about my son who was murdered august 14, 2006 and to this day his case is a cold case and is unsolved. and
8:35 pm
i bring these with me all the time. thomas hannibal, paris moffet, jason thompson, anthony hunger and marcus hunger. these are the people that were there when my son was being shot. and these are the perpetrators. one of them is deceased. and i ask for the last 14 years, i've been bringing these names here. and i just didn't pull them out of a hat. they are down at 8:50 in the homicide detail on the fifth floor with these names there and my son's case. and i'm still asking why haven't any of these names and these people been arrested. i know
8:36 pm
people are saying we need someone to come forward. but how long and when? is there anything else you can do beside waiting for someone else to come forward? there's a $250,000 reward. take that money and investigate this case. i know you hired a new investigator for me. but nothing has happened. i'm still in the dark. i come all the time, i bring all these other faces with me. and i stand with some of these mothers for unsolved homicides. and that's my quest is unsolved homicides. because my son's case is not solved. and i do ask where was everybody when my son and these other victims were murdered.
8:37 pm
i bring these pictures with me all the time because i want people to see what i have to deal with for the rest of my life and what i have to remember of my son for the rest of my life. and it hurts. and it still hurts. i continue to go to every form that i think i can go to where officials are there so that my son's face and memory wouldn't be forgotten. and people that are trying to be reelected into office and they are talking about public safety and people being murdered every day need to stop solve these cases so that i can heal. >> thank you. there is a $250,000 reward out there for information, i think leading to the arrest and conviction.
8:38 pm
415-57-5444 is the tip line. any other public comment? . >> good evening everyone. my name is danielle harris. i'm the director of public policy for san francisco public defender's office. i'm here again to ask this commission to take a formal and hard look at dpa's ability and commitment to fulfill their mission, which which as far as i can tell, is laid out in the charter. and it has been affirmed by the electorate over 80 percent to hold police accountable. as i told you at the last commission meeting the current rate of records released by dpa at that rate, it will take a quarter century for all the records to be released on just the current sworn sfpd. that in itself
8:39 pm
is unacceptable. then we have strategic plans presented tonight which nowhere acknowledged that holding police accountable is the reason dpa exists. i heard discussion about refining our mission and defining our mission. it is not up to dpa to define their mission. their mission is defined very clearly in the city charter. and it can't be in name only. the only place that i see the words police accountability appear in those strategic plans are in the name of the agency. that is a problem. and then we heard from him that the annual report is inaccurate, misleading, unreliable and gives itself even a failing grade. the idea that these two reports, the
8:40 pm
strategic plans leave out these essential legally required tasks like two-year audits and 1421 while they are refining and defining their mission says it all. they need to refocus. they need to reorganize. if these things weren't concerning enough, let me tell you something, what happened yesterday. as you may know, we have an open request to dpa for all 1421 records. and as individual cases arise we make specific requests. i would like to -- i have copies of these two letters we got yesterday for everybody. we first got a letter yesterday in a specific case
8:41 pm
stating that sergeant daniel silver from the dpa has no records under 1421. much to our surprise, the same afternoon. >> all right i'm sorry your time is up. we will take the letters. just let us have the documents and we will have them distributed. >> [off mic]. >> i don't actually, but we'll get them. okay. thank you. next speaker. >> good evening commissioners. my name is rebecca young. i'm a deputy public defender for the last 17 years in the city and county of san francisco. i co-chair the racial justice committee. this is the first time i'm appearing in front of this newly-formed police commission, and i'm very happy to see all the new faces. because i work very closely with danielle harris i would like to finish her comments which is that on the same day that we received a letter from
8:42 pm
dpa saying no record on officer silver, we also received a letter from dpa saying that officer silver has reportable records under sb1421. and the records involved an officer-involved shooting. and so it becomes something that cries out for explanation. how is it that on the very same day dpa can send out two completely different letters on the same officer one saying absolutely no record, and the other one saying records of an officer-involved shooting. so the first letter says there are no records that qualify under penal code section 832.7. this requires an explanation. and i am hopeful because the commission has oversight over dpa that the commission is as concerned about this 180 response
8:43 pm
on the same officer on the same issue as the public defender's office is. said that, i listen very carefully tonight to ms. hawkins presentation, which was excellent, i agree with commissioner mazzucco on that. and i listened carefully to commissioner henderson's report. and i heard a couple of things which would give me some pause. and one is there is new program and not all the cases have been run through the program. and the old data has not been integrated with the new data and there's brand new attorneys there and brand new investigators. and basically we are in a huge learning curve with dpa. that's fine. that should be understood by everybody including the public defender's office. however, i want, and i would expect the commission
8:44 pm
to set a deadline and its own expectations for how the dpa responds to records under sb1421. sb1421 is essentially an accountability by the state of california. all departments must comply. and we've met with nothing but resistance. thank you for listening. >> can i give public comment on the bicycle reign issue? >> you have eight seconds. >> as a resident of the bayview i am really, and as a person that needs a lot more exercise. >> your time is up. all right. thank you. any other public comment? okay. public comment is closed. next item please. >> line item 3 adjournment action item. >> is there a motion? we have no closed session i take it? is there a motion to adjourn? >> so moved. >> is there public comment on the motion to adjourn? no

every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in paying now. if you're a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all. you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part
