aye as to president mazzucco. >> commissioner truman. >> aye. >> commissioner mazzucco. >> aye. >> motion passes. it passes 5-1. >> thank you very much and at this time i really took what commissioner truman said to heart and i think several of us talked about it. i'm not breaking any rules though and i would like to nominate -- because i have talked to dr. marshall about his busy schedule and the great work he has done but i would like to nominate commissioner truman for vice president. >> second if he accepts. >> i do not accept but thank you for the invitation. and with that i nominate commissioner loftus. >> well, this is very interesting. i would just like to urge commissioner truman to accept the nomination. i think it is important i think we talked about it last year having representation in the leadership from someone appointed by the board of supervisors. my experience working with commissioner truman through the tazer process and community process and watching him lead that process, listen, seek input from the community, work with the department, achieve shared goals, i have tre

first of all i want to say about president mazzucco -- i mean i'm glad you're going to do it one more time. i know you had talk to your wife about this. >> i maybe in trouble when i get home. >>i know. but thanks for doing it one more time. as for me i have been president and vice president three times so i think it's time for me to commissioner truman to take it over and run with it. last year we were in the same position so i am glad to yield to you this time around. i think it will be watching two of you sit next to each other in the commission for the next year and i want to thank all of the commissioners for the many times i have been asked to serve and the capacity of one of the two offices. thank you very much. i enjoyed that. >> thank you. kingsley. >> thank you for doing this and you bring emotional intelgz as well as intellectual intelligence to the job and commitment and long hours and hard work and all of the extras beyond what is very apparent on the dais each week, and thank you very much for that and agreeing to do it for another year. vice president marshall you've bee

. >> thank you, president mazzucco. welcome everyone. my name is susie loftus. i have been on the police commission for a year. i'm a former prosecutor where i have prosecuted all types of cases where domestic violence, drug abuse and gun violence is where i specialized. i come from a law & order and make it work. i have the good fortune -- i have been with the right people in the room to be able to fix problems. we look forward to coming to these meetings to hear from you all. i really encourage you if there is something on the back of your mind, now is the time to hear from you. there is no issue too small. personally i work in the bay view where we work with children who have been exposed to toxic levels of stress, kids who live in violent communities. my personal life, i'm raising 3 daughters with my husband tom and we live out in the sunset. thank you for having me here. >> commissioner kingsley. >> good evening, my name is carole kingsley, i would like to thank all of you for hosting us this evening. thank you for being here. i have been on the commission

thank you very much. >> thank you and i am commissioner tom mazzucco. i am on my second term of the police commission and a native san franciscan. i am a partner in a law firm but prior to doing that i spent 20 years as a prosecutor, 10 as a district attorney here in the city and county of san francisco where i handled domestic violence cases and nienl years as an assistant united states attorney here in the northern district of california where ironically handled domestic violence case in the presidio which isn't the typical jurisdiction matter but more importantly i'm a husband and a father of a daughter and this is important and in light of the current events that have taken place it's important that the two commissions get together to affirm our commitment to combating domestic violence and protecting witnesses and candidly this couldn't be a better time. today i received the san francisco attorney, the magazine from the bar association, and the cover of the magazine is "domestic violence, not a cookie cutter approach" and they interviewed two attor

i think president mazzucco is doing a fabulous job. in terms of the commission's work and staying on its agenda and so on i am wondering if bringing somebody in and having an election the first night they're here or even the second night might be asking a lot of a new commissioner that is not really familiar with the folks that they're serving with yet, and so then the question would be -- because i think something similar happened when i came on board, and you were there at least a couple more months, so i don't know if it's going to serve the commission well by deferring it. i understand the fairness issue, but the point may then be well do we postpone it a couple months. >> yeah, my suggestion is we set it for another date so it's on the calendar and once that date rolls around and we need extra time we can take a few extra weeks. i think it happened to all of us and when we were new commissioners and i don't think it's a big deal and i think it's fair to have everyone here. >> well, we're assuming it's the old commissioner who will
