it so he means that the discolor is important and if there's an applicant that has something pending then disclosure knowing there's that and that codify disclosure and regarding just to clarify relatively to the investigation that the award is being considered for with that narrow scope that disclosure is made and in sufficient time so that the rest of the commission can be knowledgeable about it prior to voting i think would address a lot of what i'm hearing here. personally, i think some of the advantages are from the officers standpoint there isn't this cloud over his or her head here they are receiving this award but at the same time there's some investigation going on out there and the other part i don't want to have any action that the commission takes or the department takes in general to at all be having any suggestion of in any way standing in the way or not standing in the way is not the right word but casting some kind of cloud in terms of the independent of the investigation. their worthy of it but there's an investigation. it feels like there's, you know, a cart and hor

there was serious concern last time about this commission waiting for the litigation donates pend. there's a lot of lawyers out there that like to hold the city hospital contagious for fees. that doesn't mean there's any merit to it. so move back into the facts and the process and the process itself is that you have the most senior members of the police department who know if an officer shooting is correct or not reviewing this. we had an incident the occ didn't have a chance to respond and officer hicks was not on the agenda. again, we move back to does this belong to the commission or is this one the one of the oldest traditions. do we even have a is in this. when you look at this it's the tradition of the police department it's their award. it's a delicate balance but again, we have to be cognizant there's always going to be a lawsuit. and what those officers did it's not fair to wait. and back to the question what takes so long for the officer shootings. i ouch wonder what takes so long. if a homicide occurred right outside of the city hall and the suspect was arrested they'd b

talking about the d g orchestrates having our secretary give us a notification that this thing is pending and move forward that way or k4r5r7bd it for closed session with the understanding those are role their you fixed. >> and important awards and honors for officers who put their lives in jeopardy. i think we should know what we're deciding on we should include our secretary going forward that's what i'm talking about importing. it's not the departments process that process is well vetted. so to have the information. i think commissioner kingsley was saying i was agreeing with to make an informed decision. i don't want to offense anyone >> just to round it out. commissioner chinning. >> i know this has been a interesting time for this discussion. i want to suggest we calendar this as apple action item in january or february to talk about this again and adjusting the disclosure piece or a waiting period that we do it structurally try to address the concern that's been happening for quite a long time. so we can do something structurally i don't want to vote no on a metal. i prefer a proce

had been pending for more than sick months and 80 cases that had been penting for more than a year. ~ six the medical examiner's office is budgeted to have four assistant medical examiners, but it is currently only one permanent -- has only permanently -- currently only one permanent and one temporary assistant examiner. the short staffing slow turn around times led the association of medical examiners to downgrade the office's accreditation this year from full to provisional. these extreme delays can prevent family members from reaching closure in the loss of their loved ones and can delay their ability to resolve issues with insurance and retirement funds. i have actually heard from a couple of constituents who have been waiting in this backlog for news of the official death certificates of loved ones and i can't imagine how much anguish this could cause a family. therefore, i am calling for a hearing to review the backlog in the medical examiner's office, their staffing levels, and what steps can be taken to expedite the resolution of these pending cases. that's my item for submi

>> that's part of why the item came up i expressed concern i want to make sure when there's an pendingnvestigation and two we want to care a rule or have the award processed for that case until the investigations are concluded for us to consider. i noticed the 3.09 that captain lazzaro did a good job >> well 3304 make sure that all the investigations are done within the year. pretty much our investigation is forwarded to the da to make a review and issue what would be a declination letter on an officer shooting. but again, there's no predict our of how long it could take. >> okay. thank you. thank you, commissioner da joe's. i've had the honor of sitting in on the process it's a little bit choifk but it's humbling and it's nice way for the captains to get together and discuss the police officers role doing heroic things running into burning building and doing a lot of heroic

jones is still pending this very day. we don't know what the outcome will be because we did not take time to gather the facts as senators should. if we're unwilling to wait for an executive branch inquiry, then we should further gather the facts ourselves. last week ranking member coburn asked chairman levin of the permanent subcommittee on investigations whether that committee would consider interviewing witnesses in controversy involving mr. mayorkas. while he dekhraeupbd, chairman -- declined, chairman levin rightly noted if the subcommittee were going to launch such an investigation the vote on mr. mayorkas would need to be delayed. i completely agree. this vote should not take place until someone has been able to gather testimony and draw conclusions about these allegations. whistle-blowers provide my office with very troubling evidence regarding the substance of some of the allegations. much of the evidence involves the eb-5 regional center program which mr. mayorkas is responsible for managing. the evidence appears

the bill that's been pending right now or filed doesn't address parental responsibility. it should. one that i drafted did. but at least it's a good start to make what these children are doing to each other. it's no the just guadalupe. being 10 and 12 years old is a horrible time for children to go through. we have to look at it. >> so because you said you wish it did, do you think parents should be held legally responsible? >> the bill we drafted said if the prosecutor can show gross negligence by a parent or just complete ignorance of their child's behavior online, then they should be held responsible. i know that's different to do. let's be realistic. we hold parents responsible for their kids. they can't let them near guns or in the car. if a kid breaks a window down the neighborhood, mom and dad are responsible for. that the fact that they turned these kids into -- in the internet into a babysitter for the children only means that those children are on there without their the rules and maturity to act appropriately and the parents have to accept responsibility. >> al

it hasn't been pending for 6 years. it's false. let me suggest also the stacks show exactly the opposite. the project has been given favorable treatment and has not received mandatory review required of other similar projects and has not paid the mandatory fees required of other similar projects. for absolutely unknown reasons, this particular project was permitted to skip the inter departmental project review. if you go to the planning code page it says it should have been subject to inter departmental project roef and should have paid an additional $1500 because this is a seismically unsafe lot and this is new construction. mandatory since 2009. >> is that under submissions? >> it is not. it's just a department form. further the firm itself in direct violation of the planning commission memo randum. prior to the issue of the buildings permit, a community liaison will be appointed. that did not happen. i said how was this permit issued. scott sanchez set it just happened. contrary to the directives. he said is that all you got? th
