. >> thank you, commissioner brookter. >> i wanted to state that last week, actually since commissioner hamasaki talked about the right to free press, i got the opportunity to attend the 75-year anniversary of the sun reporter, which is a newspaper that's run through african-american communities here in san francisco. it was just a very well attended event. i saw chief there a little bit later on that evening. so california state senator kamala harris was there. overall, it was a great event to be at and to attend on behalf of the commission. so that's good. >> thank you. vice president taylor. >> just a couple of things. the bias working group was a productive meeting. i wanted to note that cal doj was there. not only do you have the stakeholders and commissioners and sfpd, but cal doj was present and has been involved. the other thing i wanted to say is not so much of a report as it is a thank you to the commission staff. you guys are the reason why we're able to have these meetings and are able to keep the trains on the rails, and you get very little thanks and very little praise. i

commissioner brookter. >> not really a report.o, i had my by-weekly meeting with the folks over at d.p. a. liaison. they're now part of the deal jay calls which is something that has been asked by d.p.a. even before my joining the commission. it was really happy to hear about that. we also talked about scheduled presentations that will come from the department on future agendas just about some of the things they're working on. they want to make sure the commission is highly and thoroughly aware of what they're working on. >> i just asked those be submitted through the office so we know what is coming up on the agenda. commissioner hamasaki. >> on saturday i attended a japan town memorial to be -- it was not a memorial but it was a celebration of jeff adachi by the japantown community and knew him in the context as someone who grew up in the buddhist and japanese community and it's a much older crowd, as san francisco's japan town as dwindled. i will say concerns continue to be raised by the japantown community about the issues tha
