and we have the contemporary needs statements to ivory madison, which are also in. we also have the statement of kelly williams, which when it came in, was a statement of your sake, but ms. lopez has since testified. -- of hearsay, but ms. lopez has since testified. it is no longer here say. >> where in the record does it say -- as does ms. lopez dsay that the sheriff told me that he can take away my son because he is the sheriff and he has that authority, or something to that effect? gregg's ms. lopez -- >> ms. lopez never testified to that. she testified to the opposite, which is what made the statement admissible. ms. williams made declarations, and it is also in the video, that he is very powerful. he said he can take away theo and that he is very powerful. >> it is your position that by saying he is powerful that it implies that he will use his power as an elected official and we should implied that he will use the power of his elected office to try to take custody of his child. or exert force over his wife. >> that is what ms. lopez said she understood it as.

it's going to differentiate as to what each student needs. >> is bob ivory here today? >> no, he's not. >> okay, thank you for your time. >> okay, all right. >> thank you. supervisor olague? >> we'll come up with solutions and recommendationses after the hearing. it seems like we've gone from horrible to less horrible, so, i'm not feeling the, you know, joy, i'm not jumping up and down at this point. [speaker not understood]. so, i mean, the starting point, the jumping point was [speaker not understood] pretty bad. we are where we are, it's not acceptable obviously. i just want to know how we get there. hopefully we'll get, you know, some good positive conversation going. and if it means developing a task force to really focus on this, it's not a bad place to go. i mean, the one good thing to about the task force we established there was a sunset pointe. i like the idea of sunsets because at least it's action oriented, you know, or achievement oriented. i was just a little bit alarmed. >> commissioner maufus? >> thank you, supervisor campos. supervisor olague, to your p

, ivory ash tray, ivory bed posts.ut into that interest. at the same time, you also have to cut into the interest of poachers who are sometimes receives just a sack of salt, but that's vablab et's valuable are, or sometimes $400 to keill an elephant or hand over a tusk, when some members of the military are just making $100 a month. >> yeah, they're making money the poachers. and they're usually young men who are not very social, who rob their communities of their wildlife. we're trying all sorts of things. we are using satellites to crack some of the big tuskers in order to protect them. and we need to have that price down. because it won't work unless you lower the demand. >> and you mentioned those satellite and those tracking devices to help protect the animals. don't you also worry that poachers are gets sophisticated, also? >> this is our software and we only give it out to people that we trust. you can see it on google earth in near real time and it really helps. the poachers can't get it because they don't have

lopez, by ivory mattison, who claimed to be an attorney when, in fact, she was not.who claimed she was an expert in domestic violence, when in fact, she was not. who wanted to manufacture a video the way phil bront stina of the san francisco chronicle did in his custody battle with sharon stone. weibring that to your attention because i work with bill brownstein. i know what that meant that is. as the night caddie, helped introduce him to sharon's down when i was a columnist there for eight years. [tone] i know what his method is. he is the houdini of the hearst empire. and ivory madison used his techniques and added -- and methods to manufacture evidence that has duped, so far, you, this district attorney, the city attorney, and the mayor, and to bring a man to trial when there is no trial at all for this man. i leave you at that and thank you for your time. [tone] >> good afternoon. i am here and i thank you for allowing me to speak today. i have had six heart operations. i'm coming year for the family of ross mirkarimi. i'm not coming here because he's good lookin

and one of the things that came out of that was a person by the name of bob ivory who had come out from ohio. and this summer we came up with an mou of the program. in fact, they've got a big open house tonight. and last year they had 30 suspensions the first month of school, this year it's down to one. so, there are activities that are going on. the academic programs are just getting started. students are being referred through the counseling office to him and, so -- and also this year we're going to probably this summer have program of freedom schools that will connect with that. >> thank you. thanks for describing to me the functions. could you talk to me a little about maybe a little more of the mechanics of the m-o-u, the goals expressed? is it set up to minimize suspensions? >> certainly suspensions. there are field trips. there are meetings with parents. as we speak, i think the two things we've mentioned with african-american students in particular have been the achievement gap and outmigration. last year there were 105 african-american students at martin luther king. this year

sheryl ballas had contact with the police, within a day and a half of the video being taken from -- ivory madison, miss wallace asserted it's an attorney-client privilege and i know some of you are lawyers and in terms of attorney-client stuff i have tons of people tell me stuff that i would not disclose to somebody. it's the belief that i tell somebody something in confidence and if you are going to believe the video, you need to also believe that the only reason eliana made that video was to be used in a custody dispute, not to report anything other than she was afraid that she would lose theo. you also have to remember that at that time she hadn't received her paperwork from ice yet and there were concerns and anybody who is not an american citizen has to worry about ice in this day and age and what is going to happen. that is my three minutes. >> is there a motion to approve the minutes that we have identified? >> so moved. >> is there a second? >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? hearing none, the motion passes, ÷$wnn amendments. that being the last item on the agenda, th

not, how much for the lemon, not, how much for the ivory, leopard, the peach. not, when are we leaving. not, how will we leave. not, do you know who she came with? how many clowns will hit in the car. the head of a pin? no one cares how many angels. no one cares what you think of the smart bomb corruption, the mobs. your opinion on deregulation, no one's concerned much the question is not who done it the question is not what's for dinner, what's your beverage, where's the beef? the question is not who is your daddy? is not, which way will the wind blow? is not, where's the car. you wash behind your ears; right . question is not did you turn off the oven or turn off the alarm what's that got to do with the price of tea in china. did you bite it. what's gotten into you no one's asking if you know where your children are. no one's asking if you can locate the nearest exits. in some cases they may be behind you. no one cares whether or not you are being followed. don't ask if it makes you look fat. the question is not, do you remember the time. do you remember the

i do not think that the sheriff was required by law to make public statements supporting ivory madisone was, at that point, a criminal defendant. i am not comfortable with suggesting there is some duty that a criminal defendant needs to go out and make public statements supporting someone who is a witness in a criminal matter against them. even aside from the criminal matter, i think it is a dangerous precedent to say that an elected official can be held to have committed official misconduct by failing to support individuals who are, at least from his perspective, attacking him. i do not think that this course of conduct where he failed to encourage and support victims and witnesses can sustain a charge of official misconduct. i welcome the views of my fellow commissioners. >> i think i would agree with that, particularly with respect to himself being the criminal defendant at that point in the process. i do not know that we would require, that the law would require him to encourage witnesses to come forward against himself in the criminal process where he is the defendant. i think tha

she's trying to relate to real women's problems but doing it from an ivory tower and it's obvious. >> she would say, of course, her struggle with ms, raising her children would point that life is not an ivory tower as you put it when you are struggling certainly with a debilitating illness. with that said, chip, i want to play what congressman ryan said a short time ago regarding the big speech tonight. >> sorry, chip. bottom line, he says we're going to hear from president clinton noon the charlotte. my guess is we will get a great rendition of how good things were in the '90s, but we're not going to hear much about how things have been in the last four years. chip, you going to pick up from there? >> i think what the president will try to do, president clinton is going to try to do is talk about how things are tough now but things were tough back in the '90s. the programs i put in place helped such a great economy. that's what barack obama is doing. i think he's going to trial to link those two up. there was a balanced budget in the '90s. we did pay down half a trillion dollars in d

if we lock ourselves up in the ivory tower, in the institutions, we are not providing -- what are we providing? we are not providing those alternatives. yes, a lot of the work that community agencies -- they are out there. you do not have to be a community based agency to be a positive role model, right? a smile goes a long way, you know? if a kid -- just because of how he dressed and people demonstrate that they are scared of him, what do you think he is going to do? that is one of the different approaches. i also think it is important to be flexible as community workers or law enforcement. we need to be flexible because things change. there is not just one solution. kids might take 10 steps forward. they might make such significant progress, and then something goes down. something goes down and they take eight steps back. we need to be able to be flexible with them and be there through that process. and not to say, i am not working with you anymore because you let me down. that is really important as well, not to be rigid. collaborations are very important as well. if we are talkin

the mayor testified he'd talk to ivory madison but never talk to miss lopez, even after in courage to do so by the sheriff and former mayor. the mayor admitted he suspended first and ask questions later. he submitted a declaration that was designed to poison the well. finally, at the very last hearing week requested subpoenas regarding whether the testimony was truthful. all of those facts, the charges changed come to the mayor talked to, when he talked to them, the fact that he never talked to ms. lopez. the questions about his credibility and trachoma's goes to whether he reasonably exercised his discretion. i respect -- respectfully submit to you he did not. at that, i would like to turn it over to address the definition of official misconduct. >> thank you. >> good morning commissioners. i want to start off by addressing the point that you raised about the comment about the dog and pony show. that was not intended to affect on anything you or the other commissioners have done. in fact, we appreciate the effort you have made. we've viewed this by the mayor. if it offended anyone, w

a statue armed, covered with gold in all its dress from head to foot, the skin ivory, with monsters onts helmet and a great serpent by its side. to us, that would seem garish, grandiose, and unrestrained, but that was the core of the building. and if you put yourself in the position of an ancient athenian, perhaps coming from the panathenaic procession in the dazzling light of an attic august and then going inside that building, we can imagine what it felt like to see that statue. as the eyes became accustomed to the gloom and saw the glittering gold, the jeweled eyes reflected in the pool below, the effect must have been overwhelming. we can only imagine the impact created by the goddess and her surroundings. our attempts to reconstruct the statue's appearance, like this one from the 19th century, can merely hint at the experience of seeing it in its dramatic context. but it reminds us how vivid, how colorful greek art must have been in classical times. bleached by the centuries and sterilized by museum surroundings, the reliefs of the parthenon frieze appear cool and restrained, but

responsible for the actions that she took later that afternoon in regard to the conversations with ivoryadison, in regard to the ongoing efforts working with ms. lopez to try to stop this police investigation if he initiated it. if on the other hand, you were to find that he did not initiate this contact, but found out later in the day about their actions, then the other clause would come into play. but other than that, i do not think the inaction claus comes into play. we have affirmative action of wrongful action by the sheriff. >> and you are not making an allegation under the conflicts klas, right? >> with regard to the shares threat to use his power, that certainly does violate conflict of interest laws specific to the city, but there is no question that is also a conflict of interest as well. >> have you identified the conflict of interest that he violated? >> yes, it is in our brief. the provision says you cannot violate any provision of a statement of incompatible activities. and the shares statement of incompatible activities, like every statement of incompatible activities in t
