and one thing that i know that has been very useful for the police commission and i actually think more commissions should do this, the police commission, which meets every week, once a month it actually meets in a neighborhood >> i gave you the example of the tenderloin plan we were working on, but the peace plan in the mission actually has the police department at the table. and i think that you cannot work on a process within communities without involving all stakeholders, and the people who are -- who might be victims of crime, the people who are providing services and the people who prevent crime are part of that. so any time we have a community process, all of these people need to be at the table. because we can't be doing anything unless -- thinking that we do good and that we're having a collaboration and we don't have essential pieces to that. so i would encourage the police department to continue to do that and be at the table in any process that communities have. >> thank you. you i was stopped when the police thought i was texting and i'm not a texter, let alone when i am dr

when i heard that she had been nominated for police commission, i was thrilled and relieved that finally a health professional, one who has the understanding of both the private and public sectors had been nominated. during my tenure in the police department i served as the commanding officer to the tenderloin mission and northern stations and those commands it became acutely end that a front-end to the criminal justice system is needed and must be put in place and that front-end must be a health component to decrease the issues of mentally ill in our society. i have spoken to a variety of groups and politicians to deal with our society's fragile mind before those fragile minds victimize members of the public and injure themselves. as a police officer who sent most of my career in the field, i can tell you that for line officers dealing with the mentally ill is dangerous, frustrating and agonizing officers to use the criminal justice system to try to cope with mental illness. we must recognize that the current system is not working. apointing sonia melara to the commission will be a huge

immigrant rights and for the poor and for the underserved will add an asset and balance to our police commission. in fact,, i see that she could, in fact, help bridge between commissions in the city and improve our understanding and our working relationships. we already do work with the police department in many areas as you know. in order to achieve our goals in trying to work on behalf of the mentally ill and to work on behalf of our citizens, we have collaborated with the police department in many areas. i would hope that with commissioner melara on the police commission, we would be able to help develop the same type of relationships or even an improvement of that beyond what we currently have with the fire department and with supervisor campos work on the health planning that we have put in place working together with the planning department. i therefore urge the support of her nomination put forth to the full board this coming several weeks. thank you very much. >> thank you, dr. chou. gabriel medina. >> thank you, members of the rules committee. my name is gabriel medina and i wanted to s

having served on what i considering to be three of the prestigious, san francisco police commission, parks and recreation commission and planning commission. this is one of those candidates, one of those individuals that realizes that you have to be accessible to all. as with the last candidate, who is extremely accessible, this commissioner has been accessible to everyone. we have had a lot of dealings with the planning department, as i served as executive director for the carpenter's union and again, the latino community has had a lot of difficulties with the way the city is developing. so i justed want to commend commissioner borden for always being accessible, especially in times of great crisis and issues. she is always there. i got into a car when i was 13 years old and i didn't get out. two years ago i started to buy fast passs and i'm now a monthly clipper user and my goal is to use muni 50% of the time, because the car i have is not very environmentally friendly. so getting into that public transportation mode is important as one of the things that we contribute. want to than

ed the i and the issue is let them go to public meetings and let them speak and i went to the police commission and told by the the president you're not allowed to talk about certain things. i was told the same thing by the president of the arts commission. and the library commission and they all knew it wasn't true but they did it anyway. why? because they got away with it because they knew it would go to the task force and for some reason you want people to believe that the sunshine ordinance task force is a group that doesn't know what they're doing and you're more clever than they are because you can find a way there is something they did in some way that made it wrong and you're unwilling to do anything to correct the situation and there's never anything on this report that indicates you ever will. >> david pilpel again speaking as an idea. the report is good, comprehensive as usual. i think it would be helpful for the next few months up to the november election to include a category here for public financing. i believe there is only one candidate qualified but i think reporting on payment
