. >> vice president mazzucco, commissioners, director, chief gas gone, my name is sergeant rob hicks.i am the department patrol special liaison. as far as the report is concerned, if you would like, i can be a little defensive, but i can give a history. resigned patrol special officer chan was given six to nine months to sell his beat, and that dates back to november of last year. that would have been for beat 72. originally mr. chan purchased the beat for $7,500 and that was in july 16, 2003, and at the time the clients were currently making monthly payments of $630 when mr. cast teeo -- castillo purchased the beat from mr. chan, the current pantse payments are $5,950. however the sale purchase price was $20. so if you look at it in terms of a ratio, my understanding is that beats are generally approximately 10 times the amount of the monthly gross for what clients are currently paying. in this case, the amount is much lower. mr. castillo is the not the first person to negotiate with mr. chan in regard to this beat. there were other patrol specialists that negotiated with him. severa
