>> show we take a vote on it specification? >> we will do that. >> vote on specification number one first. >> your using the amended complaint, right? >> a motion to sustain. that is the word i am looking for. the move to sustain. >> falsely identified as a peace officer in an attempt to purchase and off list firearm, a violation of the rules and procedures for patrol special officers and their assistants, and the general order to 0.01 of the san francisco police department. >> second. >> vice president marshall? >> i. >> commissioner did jesus -- dejesus? commissioner dejesus: aye. commissioner turman: aye. >> the motion passes. all in favor. specification two, falsely ididentifying as a peace officer and carrying a concealed weapon into city arms while dressed in civilian clothes, a violation of rule 9 of department general order to 0.01 and the interim rules for patrol special officers. >> i move to sustain. vice president marshall: aye. commissioner chan: no. commissioner turman: no. commissioner laughtus: aye. >> the motio

specification 3, when he was dealing with mr. handy, in san leandro, that took place approximately two to three weeks after he was denied permission to purchase the firearm from the firearms division in pacifica. the name has escaped me. that transaction was denied. he then attempted to -- he successfully purchased an off- list firearm from another business in hayward. it is important to note that mr. handy testified he had no idea what to call specialists were. he thought there were a specialized unit within the department. when you review the transcripts and closing arguments, you will notice there is a pattern by assistant patrol special officer tachihara of implying he is a police officer, whether it be walking into city arms dressed in civilian clothes, with his firearm on his side hip, or going dressed in his official uniform, armed. he is giving the impression to those employees and owners that he is a peace officer. the department also laid out specific testimony attributable to assistant patrol specialist tachihara, wher

>> we are dealing with the specification that is here. the evidence is, and there is really no reason to dispute this -- he had no idea there was a problem. there was then a conversation with mr. handy, who said, "i disagree with city arms." >> but he specified that he does not understand the difference with patrol specialists. >> he fills up the application. he will run it past the department of justice. you can have the weapon. that is what he did, and that is what happened. >> i guess it is you, commissioner turman. >> is in here somewhere. i think it is defendant exhibit 1, but maybe check with the commander. >> what exhibit number is this? >> dealer record of sale of firearms? >> we have more than one in evidence. there is an assistant patrol exhibit. the one you have in your hand here, which i was just handed, his department exhibit ernest tachihara -- department exhibit e. >> there was one in 2009 that had to do with a completely different purchase, that had nothing to do with an off list record, that was in the files of the store.

i do not know if you want to handle specification, spot -- specification 1, 2, 3, or four bang? >> maybe we can move into the specifications. >> your overall impression. >> i would really rather not. i was hoping to hear from you, and then i would go forward. i was thinking about how i would characterize it. >> there is conflicting testimony, especially between patrol specialist tachihara and some of the store owners and employees. >> i did the hearing. i have to say, to the id, i looked at the id. i think a bag was placed on top of it when it was copied. i did not see it as being an issue. i thought the gun dealers were on it. i thought they did believe that was the id they copied. there is some discrepancy in the way it copied, but i do not think it is not the id. i thought the gun dealers were credible. it was to they could not say that mr. tachihara said he was a police officer, but when i first came here, i saw the uniform, and it looks like a san francisco police officer uniform. i do believe there were credible and honest. i believe they thought he was a police officer. i

but that is specific around violence prevention. with folks coming out from all different departments and community-based organizations and the police department or other departments having a focus around violence prevention. i want to propose that we get really on the ground worked, you know, working with community residents to put some real ideas on the ground. some good ideas came out today. how we actually get to that level of implementation, a lot of the organizations that we have funded over the years have done a lot of great work. but it will also involve entrenched, on the ground work that they do not have the time to do the planning and new ideas. that is where the mayor's office of community development can play a large role in working with our office as well to make sure we get to that next level. i would like to propose that as one of the ideas that we can move forward with from this hearing. >> i think that is a good idea in working with your office as well as the community collaborative. it does bring in the one person

that specific -- that level of specificity is not in the charges. if i can take a moment, i will locate on the charges where this issue is addressed. >> ok. >> in a more general sense. >> so the answer to the question, commissioners is while this particular aspect of the conduct is not spelled out effortlessly, it is embraced in our witness dissituation charge, what happens to a witness after they report a crime is something that is relevant to the idea a sheriff should be protecting witnesses and safeguarding them. but more significantly on count five of our charge, charges rather. that these are acts of wrongful conduct that are going to be proven in conformity of proof at trial and they go to the standard of conduct and that's a standard of conduct that we outlined through chief lansdowne. i mean, i -- i was under the impression that we were -- that this fleeting document, we were under the impression this pleading document didn't have to be encyclopedic. so i think that's one of the difficulties that we're facing now. >> well, look, i mean this

tomacally scores it for you and then gives you specific recommendations to your brain and then specific exercises in the form of games. i mean, they're fun games-- i love playing these games-- that are really enhancing your brain, from memory games reaction time, attention, mood. and on the website, there's this whole relaxation room. so for people who struggle with anxiety or depression, we'll actually give them the kind of tools i use in my office y to day with people. so if people just spend ten minutes a day on the website and they do it for a couple of months, it's like spending a year seeing me twice a week. you get the exact same tools that i use in my office that would cost people thousands of dollars. and this way, they can do it in the privacy of their own home. they don't have to get in the car. they don't have to wait in a waiting room for someone. >> and they can do it when they have the time. >> and they can log on 24 hours. the food recipes they like the brain games that they like the relax--in the relaxation room, there's five individual hypnosis audios that i do for the

it also specifically addresses the services. specifically, the draft agreement was amended at the commission to allow for the innovation fund to support partnerships. this is to support community- based alternatives for inpatient psychiatric care. this amendment was in concern that there would be no inpatient beds on the campus. there are 18 licensed beds at this specific campus, which serves psychiatric patients from all campuses, and it proposes to continue. the draft development agreement is not proposed to change that. rather, it will address the need i just expressed for alternatives to hospital-based psychiatric care. under this model, a community- based center will be available 24/7 to assist those who may be in need of crisis intervention, medications work, and counseling, but who do not need to be in the hospital to reserve these services. the urgent care center, which is a partner, is a good example of what we are envisioning. they were designed to assist the psychiatric emergency services and other hospital emergency

those are not specifics he can sell. that's why he is not talking specifics.k obama needs to make this a choice. that's why you see the ad he put up. >> it is interesting that we had an agreement that eric fenster said this was not a tax. the health care plan, agreeing with the democrats and president barack obama. do you think that's part of the problem? these kind of things like is it a tax or -- it becomes talking points as opposed to more specifics about what's going on in the economy? >> i think all campaigns have a variety of talking points that get ignored. in the last campaign, president obama campaigned against the individual mandate and really hammered hillary clinton on her support for individual mandates and came out and passed it as part of a law. what he meant is this is not a tax. this is a penalty. by the way, if you define it that way, john roberts should have declared it unconstitutional. one of the things mitt romney wants to do is repeal obama care and that is popular with a segment of the population that is energized with the supreme court

do you have a specific recollection of any specific person who was around? >> could you be more clear when you say around? >> ok. next to you when you made that call with your wife. >> next to me -- no. i do not. no. >> ok. >> but i do believe there were you know what i mean and out of our office quite a bit, because they were working. >> were there people within earshot when you made that call at 4:23? >> i'm sure there were. >> can you identify any of those people who were in earshot? >> i cannot. >> now sheriff, you sat down with the bay guardian in april for a story about the events that had occurred on december 31 and the ensuing police investigation? >> yes. >> which reporter did you sit down with? >> objection. irrelevant. it's about the subject matter. >> there were three people present. tim red mand, steve jones and actually there was a woman present, but i didn't know her. >> who else was present? >> oh, um, -- a man named jeff guillen kirk. david wagner and katy clice they are in i think is her last name. >> and how long was that meeting that you

i want some more specificity. it does not seem specific enough. >> if i understand the issue in the process correctly, that is held in that area and i think there was a little bit of discussion on tuesday as in some ways a place where that money has not been allocated yet. i believe the process by which the decisions are made to allocate those funds are made through a collaborative. a number of people -- i am looking at dr. blanco. it is a process that has been in place for several years by which people, a staff that are involved in the work that is done that is reimbursable by medical and the work to document reimbursable services are claimed and who have made decisions about what the highest priorities are for the use of those funds. that is done through a collaborative effort. it is literally called the lea collaborative. that body has not at least completed its deliberations about how to allocate those funds. that is a process issue. that is the reason why it has not shown up in a different way through positio

what the specific dollar amount this -- i agree. i support both of those things as well. though they are getting a tax exemption on these cases, twitter paid a lot of money for some other stuff, ok? for the neighborhood and things around the new venue. its not as though they walked out of the room and were paid money to come to the city. they paid in other ways. i think that is a means the city has to direct funds to areas that particularly need it. that market section has been blighted for so long. if it twitter is the one to kick start that -- even west field mall has struggled. that was going to turn that area around, and it didn't. as a matter of fact, we're starting to see a lot of turnover. businesses that move and there have been as successful. we have reached critical mass. hopefully, some of the things they're going on in that area and other areas of the city will require special circumstances, the city can decide need particular efforts in those areas. so, i think the twitter -- twitter is used as the stalking horse for talking about campaigning for or against t

that specific -- that level of specificity is not in the charges. if i can take a moment, i will locate on the charges where this issue is addressed. >> ok. >> in a more general sense.

the totality is troubling to me and i am appointed for a specific purpose. that purpose is to ensure public safety. i am concerned of the tubing incident -- two incidents that they form a public safety issue. i do not want to and anybody career but there are larger considerations to think about. >> i have to say, i also appreciate your arguments and i believe in progressive discipline but i am aware of other incidents where they were not supposed to follow a car, pull people out of the car, and even if it proceeds it, he may not have done it in uniform but he has been in the store in uniform and you're on papers say they make an assumption he was a police officer. i believe that is accurate. he led them to believe that he was a police officer and he did not dissuade them from that and he signed documents that indicated he was a peace officer, by mistake or not, it is very serious. and i agree it is serious in and of itself. i appreciate what you said, i think the penalty is very serious. commissioner loftus: i reviewed the prior incident because it was in th

this is specifically on the budget proposal. there are concerns during this time of cutbacks and austerity that austerity must be seen and felt everywhere. we are particularly concerned about some of the things we see in the budget. for instance, your recitals for proposition a lay out $23 million in cuts. 20 feet -- $23 million in expenditures. there are $25 million available and the others are not laid out there. you have six departments which altogether are asking for $600,000 in other outgo with the specification of what that money can or will be used for. it is referred to as a parking lot and other times as a slush fund. you have $1.30 million for support for dream schools. they were the product of the consent decree and the consent decree is gone. if you want the additional hour after the teachers work day, there needs to be some consultation with the union over adding that two peoples day. there has not been that consultation. we note with concern that despite the flawed reporting in the papers, central office has grown

>> i would have to look at the specific details of that, senator. i don't know that off the top of my head. >> because i'm sure we're laying cable now. >> mm-hmm. >> and we're not a party to the treaty. >> right. >> so my question would be if we're laying cable now and we're not a party of the treaty, would being a party to the treaty, from your testimony, only benefit us to the extent that they would exempt us from paying fees to the countries? >> no, it's not -- it's not the fees. it's -- you know, we are in and out of these cables constantly, upgrading the technology, doing maintenance on the cables, and i think the concern that we have is the arbitrary nature of what happens today, and if we can have greater certainty, we can predict our costs better, and we can make those investments. that's my main point, senator. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i've got to join a conference call so i'll yield back the balance of my time. >> i appreciate that. before you run out, senator isackrison, let me say to you quickly, because you've raised an imp

supervisor cohen: specific to the environment of planners. supervisor wiener: the question to the chair is whether these two positions will be devoted to visitation valley -- i am supportive of these positions, but i do not know that they should be devoted to one particular neighborhood as opposed to the planning department focusing on particular things, for example, visitation valley as a whole. supervisor chu: the way i am seeing things is there will be a number of different city needs, whether visitation valley or different capital planning projects, or something we would not have anticipated coming down the pipeline later on. i'm imagining there will be some level of capacity within the department to deal with visitation valley that may not be these two positions, but these positions could certainly flex to support visitation valley or delivering rec and park bonds, or dpw bonds, are the work we are asking for. what i would like the department to do is share with us, if you can come up by the end of today, so that we can have the informat

specifically, the policies have led to increased use of appraisal management companies. in our july 2011 report, we concluded that setting minimum standards that address key functions amcs perform on behalf of lenders would enhance oversight of appraisal services and provide greater assurance of the credibility and quality of the appraisals provided by amcs. therefore, we recommended that these regulators consider addressing several key areas, including criteria for selecting appraisers, as part of their joint rule making under the dodd-frank act to set minimum standards for states to apply and register amcs. now i will briefly discuss our evaluation of the appraisal subcommittee. it has been performing its monitoring rule under title 11. we found that several weaknesses which are generally associated with a lack of established policies and procedures and clear definitions have potentially limited ase's effectiveness. we recommended that ase clarify the criteria it uses to assess states' compliance with title 11 and develop specific policies and procedures f m

that is another reason why this specific initiative is tailored to that population. the goals of the crn fluctuate depending on the issues going on day today, but we stay close to the data that the san francisco police department provides. for now, our goals are the five zones that they mentioned earlier. one of them being the tenderloin. the second one being western addition, following the mission, as well as british point and mission valley. if we see a spy, our goal is to respond in that area -- if we see a spike, our goal is to respond in that area. the program components of the san francisco city response network are three major components. one of them is reached out reached. that is the day the canvassing -- street outreach. that is the daily canvassing. the second is a crisis response. that is where we work closely with the department that spoke earlier. it is tailored to respond to homicides, shootings, stabbings, and physical altercation. the individuals that are impacted by death or murder are high priority. and then shootings and stabbings. and just to cla

it goes beyond the specific outsourcing questions.he's talking about or who he is. >> schieffer: michael gerson, you wrote speeches for george bush before you became, i must say, a very influential columnist in. >> they may have been taken aback. this was a genuine... a presidential candidate, the possibility of committing a felon. i think involved in three presidential campaigns, that's not politics as usual. i think it's a serious challenge. i think this is an obama campaign that tends to not just criticize but to vilify. this week they were really a combination of huey long and michael corleone. i think the romney campaign has had a tough time responding to this. does it work? i don't think it changes the fundamental dynamic of the campaign which is both stable and very close. but it's certainly changed the narrative and dialogue this week away from a very bad jobs report. >> schieffer: john dicker son, sum it up for us. >> as frank said, romney's argument is "i'm a fix-it man." the obama argument is "maybe, he uses bad parts, thou

where, somebody is trained specifically for a vocation, that's a good way to get to a quick job, if that's your -- if that's your ambition. >> jonathan, i'm assuming you want to respond? >> yeah, i feel like i'm getting rapped out of the principal's office. we say that not everyone should going to college, but that's the government policy for many, many years, we have a president now who calls college a right and pushed up the costs and down the quality. and the panel made great points. roughly 65% of jobs now outstanding don't require that much coveted college education and of course, whether it's irvin berlin or trace adkins or thomas edison or debby fields or jonathan hoenig, there's many examples of successful people who have not gone to college. government involvement has raised the cost, lowered the quality and that's what needs to change. >> well, government involvement-- >> an economic question, i want it take this. it's interesting if you look at the amount of debt. tracy brought this up. the amount of debt that americans are sitting on for higher education, a lot of that goes awa

it lays out the details of some of our specific goals and things we actually got done. the board of education knows this, but for the folks in the room who do not, i want to point out that all the members of the parent of kaiser council are volunteers, like all the advisory councils in the district. i have the privilege and honor of working for the pac part time to coordinate behind the scenes. at the end of the school year, members of fire rated their work for this year. for a small group of volunteers, the accomplished a lot. members felt very positive this year about their success in engaging hundreds of parents and community members in discussions a restorative practices and improving school climate, and also hosting community meetings with the superintendent and district staff leaders to talk about student achievement data and learn more about the strategic initiative. the members were really happy that we surpassed our specific goal for the number of people we involved in these events. we also felt that working in collaborative partnership with district staff arou

diplomats and next arrest displeasure lugo's independent foreign policy specifically for forging links with who a child is a venezuela and bolivia as well lugo question u.s. military involvement which was extremely controversial so i think that that it's not clear whether the us played a role specifically in the impeachment i'm not claiming that but if you ask me whether the u.s. had a motive probably in light of the the correspondence and also it's clear that the u.s. was spying on to go and i think that the distinction between the state department and intelligence gathering operations like the cia is getting more and more subtle

the last thing i want to be clear about is a response to specific concerns of yours. as a former civil rights attorney, i hold dear to my heart the personal protections afforded to was under the fourth amend and. those rights are sacrosanct. as we continue our discussion about violence reduction, i will not support or put forward any proposal that will violate those protections. i look forward to collaborating with you in continuing this conversation, knowing that we have to come up with more bold strategy to keep the guns out of our neighborhoods. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. that includes the formal policy discussions for today. madam clerk, let's go to our regular agenda. please call on items two through 23. >> items two through 23. proposed budget and annual appropriation ordinance appropriating all estimated receipts and all estimated expenditures for departments of the city and county of san francisco as of may 31, 2012, for the fys ending june 30, 2013, and june 30, 2014. item number three, annual salary ordinance enumerating positions in the annual b
