>> yes, apparently conversations that have happened at this panel over time, discussions with the p.o.a., and actually the foresightedness of the board of supervisors, they put $3 million back into the police department budget in the spring. by putting it into the budget later in the year, we can basically get an academy class, a full academy class, first one since 2009 at a discount provided we don't have some other calamity occur in this tepid recovery of ours. so hold a good thought that that money stays as originally planned and we get an academy class there and i know that chief schmidt and director landis are working feverishly to see if we can't get another federally funded class which might net us two classes for the year which would be great. that said, we really -- we are really, really up against it starting next fiscal year if we're not getting at least three classes a year. commissioner kingsley. thank you. >> commissioner chan. >> i wanted to ask you two questions. one was about the consent severance of private residences, the department bulletin that was issued. we have c

a busy week otherwise in the department, probably the big thing, and i wanted to really commend the p.o.a. and the rank and file for voting overwhelmingly 81%, approximate, to accept the renegotiated contract reopener from the mayor's office which essentially closes my budget gap for this year which is great. and much appreciated. we continue to communicate with the community regarding the substation, myself and the command staff walked sixth street on monday morning with clyde, actually, at sixth and market, met a couple of the merchants that had been a little bit upset and it looks decidedly better and hopefully it will stay that way, at least the cops will be there. the core development project and the community oriented police department is moving forward. there's a meeting tomorrow morning. i hope the commissioners were made aware of it now. >> it was today, this afternoon? >> it was today? >> right about now. >> oh, ok. >> couldn't make it. >> i'll keep putting it through lieutenant falvey. first class of cpsa graduate this week, after a little bit of -- if

and chief sir just this week sent a letter to the p.o.a. offering them an opportunity to meet so when they're ready to go, there's no delay if the labor respective. things are moving. train is moving out of the station. it's still going slowly but i think we're getting there. with that i think we'll have an update on what they've done. to be quite candid, they may not tout their own horns but i will tout it. they've been doing the lion's share of the work, heavy lifting to develop the curriculum to go up to post. everything hinges on that. once we get that done we can assign instructors and get the program moving. they've been working very hard meeting almost weekly for several hours trying to get this. again, most of these have lives outside of the police department and other jobs and other careers yet because of the importance of this program, they've worked very hard to move this forward. so with that -- >> ok. >> michael gauze from the health association, c.o. connor coming from the dorse clinic. thank you very much. these two have been

only have three months left and so the hope is that depending on what we're able to work out in the p.o.a. contract giveback and however the economy does that if we're in a position in the spring, there would be moneys there and we would be able to hire an academy class late in the year, late in the fiscal year with general fund dollars. commissioner chance: general fund back dollars? >> no, no, no. it depends on what they ask us to give back. like this year they asked for a 10% giveback at the end of the year. if they asked thousand give back 10% again at the end of the year, then that's money that we would have to have a conversation about. but for today, it's in the budget and we would use that money to hire a general fnd academy class at the end of the year, fiscal year. commissioner chance: my next question is the community policing efforts, is it these standing monday and tuesday meetings? >> i believe they are. yes. did everybody get a notice on the last one? some did and some didn't. that's perfect. consistent. commissioner chance: the next one on monday or tuesday? >> i'll find o
