it was a resolution of the city council of portland. obviously, different power structure. >> the city government in portland, there is a civilian commissioner for public safety who happens to be the mayor. the commission is incorporated into the city council. in our government, the police commission is the governing entity and it would have the power. supervisors probably would, but i assume the police commission is the appropriate body to ask first. >> it would not necessarily preclude the mou that aligns with that. >> absolutely. the mou is between two parties. the fbi has told us they will not change the current mou. maybe you can convince them otherwise. >> i would hope the mou could be passed. later on, it would reflect the resolution and allow for deputization, if that is needed. >> that would be fantastic. president mazzucco: further comments? i think it is time to move to public comment. >> comment on item two. >> we will have people lined up to make their comments. due to the volume of the expected comments come a commission is

the correct chief suhr, the portland city council chose not to center into an m.o.u., specifically because it restricts the ability to provide local control and local oversight. we are not saying opt out, we are not saying leave the gttf relationship, we're saying there needs to be a transition. you're currently under an m.o.u., there's a model the federal government has endorsed, transition to it by passing a resolution and it's easy to do. let me go through the elements here that the portland resolution addresses. d it maintains local control over the assignment of officers and provides all these elements of civilian oversight, every single one with of these things has an analogous provision in 8.10. the federal government says you can do it as long as you're not doing it under an m.o.u. and these involved security -- voven involve security clearances, allows for annual public reports, it allows for training and it makes sure that nothing can change. no more secret m.o.u.'s being signed but changes only take place after public notice, public hearings and discussion like this. so the ques

cities going on right now in portland and in oakland. you may have read the recent "chronicle "sports article -- " chronicle" article as well. a serious terrorism threat was uncovered after a city council resolution a few weeks ago. portland is the only incident of a local jurisdiction opting out of the jttf that we know of in the united states. issues we are facing now, as described in the recommendation, is not whether we should opt out, but whether we need -- what we can do to ensure that officers involved in activities have strong civilian oversight of their activities and report activities through the established civilian oversight mechanisms and procedures defined in 8.10. recent meetings have been predominantly to discuss how this can be accomplished without are diminishing our ability to assist in joint activities of that -- of various federal agencies. our approach to achieve this objective is to publish internal directives ensuring our officers only participate in activities that the -- that meet our local standards of reasonabl

maybe he can help us with the answer. >> the attorney testified in portland that portland was not this first -- not the for city. others are operating in the jttf without an mou. >> [inaudible] i know you have explained -- [inaudible] we can effectuate what we intend within san francisco and the police if we are under a resolution relationship. what are the conceivable -- >> to be quite honest with you, i have seen no downside. if sfpd has complied with 8.10 now, it allows the exact same activities you are engaging in right now to continue to apply. it allows for civilian oversight and avoids confusion of an mou base. the fbi took out everything related to local control. it avoids the confusion of the fbi saying they can block it. the one difference, but it should have no impact, is the mou provides for depute physician -- deputization. that is important on a practical level because it gives those officers the authority to exercise federal powers. if what we are saying is they can do their jobs under local powers, under local standards, if what we're saying is they can and we want them and they can be effective
