san francisco. as you know the coalition worked to address accountability and transparency and san francisco police department relationship with federal counter terrorism agencies and one that we worked on is within the san francisco police department between the federal bureau of investigation in the joint task force. as part of that relationship sfpd entered into a secret agreement with the fbi that did away with decades of progress in san francisco. members of this coalition have worked with supervisor jane kim's office to pass this ordinance and make sure that local and state standards apply and requires transparency in the process and that the chief issue a report on the mission by them. this was supported by civil rights organizations, community and bar organizations. it was passed unanimously by the board of supervisors and signed into law by the mayor. these groups say by authority of law we demand transparency and accountability and for that reason we're disappointed we were not notified of the report being issued today. indeed we found about it a couple of days ago by happenstance. we are

before i do i want to acknowledge kevin martin who has 28 years of service not just with the san francisco police department but the san francisco sheriff's department and especially acknowledge steve johnson, who joined the san francisco police department in 1971, served 30 years and since that time has worked tirelessly along with kevin for the rights of our members and he has worked with every commissioner here. he's going to be a big loss to the poa, he wanted to be here tonight, he could not make it. he is in good health and spirits but i do have letters to each one of the commissioners on behalf of steve. so i am available, i certainly am behind the learning curve but considering the statement from one of the last speakers i hope the chief grants everything that the poa requests as you did the previous speaker. i can answer any questions if you have them, but thank you for your time. >> an

the board of supervisors adopt a resolution retroactively adopting a agreement between the san francisco police department and the san francisco housing authority to provide services designated housing authority developments and for the housing authority to pay the city $1,115,000 in fiscal year 2012-2013 and $1,300,000 for fiscal year 2013-2014. for the supplemental law enforcement services or to take other action regarding proposed resolution or contract. action. >> hello commander. >> yes. the reason -- let me give you explanation on this. now we're up to four sergeants and 32 officers. housing we wanted to include these other areas so we supply one sergeant and four officers to cover that. the reason you see a difference in the first year of 2012-2013 for the amount listed is because it came active january 1. we couldn't charge them from july 1, so moving forward for 2014 -- 2013-2014 it's the whole year charge and that's why it goes to 1.3 million and basically the same service we're providing. this is mainly for the residents. >> any questions from commissioners? any public comment? do i
