it is bad given the mirkarimi situation because the only case you have ever heard was against jewell gomez. you voted to recommend that should be removed. the mayor ignored that. how is it going to look when you make a recommendation to the mayor and he chooses to act upon it? the first time you heard a case about official misconduct, other than a politically motivated one. >> the next item is items for future meetings. >> this goes back to the first or second commission meeting that i ever sat on was this issue of the findings that the commission had made about the chairman of the library. the letter that was sent to the mayor and i do not remember which of the commissioners suggested that maybe an agenda item should be a follow-up to that finding. to the mayor to demonstrate we do not necessarily what it drops in a black hole. [inaudible] if this commission should take some further action. >> i was going to follow up that item as well but i have a slightly different way of coming at it. i would be -- my suggestion would be that we ask the mayor for his response, ask the mayor to tell us

the commissioners for making the motion to put this on a future agenda for the referral regarding jewel gomez. a lot of people have felt it is kind of not good for your purchase -- your disposition if you make a recommendation and it disappears and that is the end of it. if the mayor wrote a letter and said, i considered to recommendation and decided no, fine. if he writes a letter and take some action, find. but simply to have nothing is not acceptable. i think it is an insult to the commission and i think it puts them in the awkward position of saying we make recommendations and they sometimes just disappear and we do not know what happens to them because occasionally, as has happened a number of times in jewel gomez's case, people will say what happened and your answer is -- that does not reflect well. i did not come here to cause problems, but i do come here to point out areas where i think things are not being handled properly. when i go to other public meetings, i tell them, my two main concerns here are to ensure that members of the public are free to make meaningful public comment and

this commission heard one case against jewel gomez which was referenced by a prior speaker and sent a recommendation to mayor ed lee that she be removed. the mayor has taken no action on this referral. i guess the mayor will only follow whatever your recommendation is in the case against the sheriff if it suits his political purpose. i don't think he puts you in a very good position because bottom line, if you come out to remove the sheriff, everybody is going to say because your political appointees and that's what you were told to do. very frankly, that's what it looks like to me. you got all these people that found official misconduct referred to the district attorney, the city attorney, nothing happens. you find them in violation, nothing happens. what if you find the sheriff in violation of something will happen for the first time in more than a decade. >> i'm alec bruce and i have appeared before you before, most recently in april at the joint meeting with the task force members regarding the proposed regulations. i do want to point out something to you that you're probably not
