Transcripts For SFGTV Health Commission 20240713

Reports were made in person and the majority of the reports were Domestic Violence related. Again winning no reports were denied. And again, the majority of the reports were made by the victims themselves. And still under the last quarter of 2019, it took a little over a day for these reports to get returned and available to the requesters. We do track although not required, we do track the forms of how the requests are being made. The majority of reports requests are made in english, but also the spanish population has also been using the forms to request these forms. Going forward in 2020, we will get back on schedule where the First Quarter of 2020, that report will be delivered to the commission on april 15 and then subsequently the following squad car quarter of july. Any comments . Vice president. I just want to say, i was on this working with commissioner hamisaki and this is fantastic. This is both helpful information to have and its great to see how quickly the department is filling these requests and helping Domestic Violence victims get results. I want to thank you and commend you again. Commissioner tailor is still in my line. Just, we sat through a working group together and came to agreement on a form and a procedure and the reporting requirement. I think to see this actually come out now and to see that we are actually in compliance within five days of all of them in the reporting period i think is really impressive. Thank you for your report on this, and we look forward to the next quarterly report. Okay. Thank you. Next line item. Anything else on the chiefs report or is that it . If i could just thank both the commissioners that were on this. This was a pretty long process, and i think again it shows the work that we can do with the department of Police Accountability and our many groups in the community who were very concerned about this. We have staff in the room who were a big part of this behind the scenes. So i just want to thank everybody for actually making this come together. We still have work to do, but well enjoy this and continue to move forward. Thank you. Next item, please. Line 1 b. D. P. A. Directors report. Report on recent d. P. A. Activities and announcements. D. P. A. Ooess report will be limited to a brief description of d. P. A. Activities and announcements. Commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of these issues raised for a future commission meeting. Director henderson, welcome. We are at 23 cases so far that have been opened this year. These numbers are also up from last year. This time last year, this early in the year, we were at 21 cases. So far this year weve closed 49 cases. This year weve closed only 33 cases. Weve tried to keep up with the increased volume by keeping these cases closed. We still have 339 cases that are open and pending. This time last year we had 229 cases that were open and pending. This is a reflection of the volume that has increased. So far this year we have sustained two cases. At the same time last year we had not sustained any cases. In terms of the cases that are passed at the ninemonth mark, we are at 24 cases. Of those 24 cases, 10 were told cases. Weve had three cases that have been mediated this year, which is the same number of cases we mediated last year. In terms of the 1421, i have no new statistics to report since last week, but i just wanted to mention that we have interviews scheduled over the last two weeks for the 1421 paralegal finally. So thats where we are in the process. After they were released, were trying to get those folks in as quickly as we can. In terms of mediation, for outreach, we expanded our presence and the mission, what we had talked about last week was many of the flyers were testing to see where our information is being picked up and where were running out of. A lot of the Spanish Language information about the d. P. A. In the mission area was running out a little more quickly. So we put more of our information in different locations, the womens building, the reinvestment coalition, the native American Health center. Our information can be found there now. We just did that this month. We also met with, and this is a new initiative or a partnership, expansion, affiliation, with pretrial diversion and we can see how we can be working better with them to have our Information Available through our work as well. We also participated in northern stations Community Meeting last week. Thats it for my update. For the audience in case there are issues that come up, i have my staff. Our new investigators are also here in the audience tonight to he help. Can we see their hands . Yes. [ overlapping speakers ] thats what i said. Welcome here. And coryann is here. Barceloni . Barcelone. These are the new investigators. Youre all going to have to give him a phonetic spelling of your name. Welcome. Any questions . I dont see any. Thank you, mr. Henderson. Line item 1c. Commission reports. Commission reports will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. Commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. Commission president s report. Commissioners reports. I dont have any reports. Just briefly. This week one of the days, i met with the deaf and hardofhearing working group that has been working on the new d. G. O. And working through some final comments that came through the d. O. J. Process. And i think we are about done and hope to have it to this commission soon. So i think thats going to be a pretty exciting d. G. O. That we adopt. Thank you. Anybody else . Okay. Next item. Item 1 d. Commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future Commission Meetings people waiting action. We have one. What type of cases, the majority of cases being referred and the race of individuals being referred. Well have to get that to staff to articulate that. Chief, do you know, are there d. G. O. S directly on that point . There are or is a d. G. O. O on when we work with federal agencies, it has to go through a process that includes a chain of command approval up through the deputy chief. In terms of the filing of cases, i dont believe there are any d. G. O. S on policy. Ive never seen that. But we have d. G. O. S on federal cooperation. I do want to look into policy. That will get into an vend. Next item. As a reminder, the Police Commission meeting is scheduled for wednesday, february 5, 2020. The public is invited to comment on items 1 a through 1 d. Any Public Comment . Only on items weve discussed so far. Klein item 3, presentation of the Department Budget process overview for fiscal year 2020 21 and 2021 22. Good evening. I understood this is a relatively short presentation on the budget and next month we will have a more detailed presentation on the budget, correct . Correct. I do appreciate it because last year it was a problem. We were rushed and i felt like there wasnt enough time. So i do appreciate you and executive director maguire giving us greater time for this years budget. Good evening, chief scott, president hersh, Vice President , commissioners. My name is patrick leon. I am the chief Financial Officer for the San Francisco Police Department. In tonights presentation ill be going over the budget process and the steps the department will undertake as we develop our budget for fiscal year 2020 21 and fiscal year 2021 22. In this presentation well be including a brief overview of the citys budget process, the Budget Development timeline, the departments internal Budget Priority development process, and defining the various budget phases. Well first go over the budget requirements. City departments must submit a twoyear Budget Proposal by february 21. This is required by the San Francisco code 3. 31 a. So our fiscal year 2020 21, 2021 22 is scheduled for february 12. That is when we will put our anticipated budget submission. The Commission Must adopt those budgets before february 21. That is our submission deadline. In terms of budget timelines and phases. This is where the Commission Issues budget timelines and the ujt system is open. February 21 is the due date for the Department Budget submission. In march and april is where the Mayors Office works with city departments to fund new policies and projects. May 31 the mayor publishes the budget. In early june, the budget legislative analysts reviews the budget and makes recommendations. In june the budget and finance committee holds budget hearings and solicits public input. In july the full board of supervisors adopts the final boardadjusted budget. So in determining our fiscal year 2020 21 base budget, its derived from our current budget. Back in 2012, the city adopted a twoyear budget cycle for all departments. So in our approved budget cycle for 2019 20, it includes an estimate for fiscal year 2020 21. This becomes the base starting point for our budget 2020 21. This following pie graph represents our funding resources. The majority of our funding is derived from general funds. The airport provides an additional 11 of our source of funding. Services to other department represents another 3 . And special revenues and general Fund Projects represents approximately 1 each. Diving into each of the areas. Within our general Fund Operating budget, its split up into various categories. Salaries and categories represent the total budget at 85 . Professional services and other payments represent 2. 5 . And examples include noncity rent, contracting services, material and supplies represent less than 1 of our budget. These things include at some times such as uniform safety equipment, office supplies. Equipment represents about 1 of our budget and items like patrol cars and safety equipment, thats over 5,000. The last item is services paid to other departments. These are services that are work orders and these include items such as city rent and utilities, phone and network infrastructure, that goes to the department of technology. In total, our budget for the current year is 900,000. In fiscal year 2021, there is an increase to 612 million. And the majority of this increase is related to cost of living adjustments thats negotiated between the city in the employee unions. Our other budgets, general project expenditures is approximately 10 million in the current year. Special revenues, these include state mandates such as our vehicle theft crimes misunderstand and it also includes state and federal grants. This totals about 8 million. Our work order represents services that we provide to other departments for police services. And then lastly the airport fund is about 78 million in the current year and it jumps to 100 million for next year. That increase is due to their anticipated the increase of officers that theyre anticipating us to be able to send to the airport. If we arent able to meet all of our recruitment efforts, we wont be able to actually send as many officers there. That number is budgetary and may not reflect what is actually expended. In total, over 90 of our Department Budget is for positions. And as i said before, the increases between fy2019 20 and fiscal year 2020 21, there is a 46 million increase. Thats attributable to cost of living increases and the increase in the airport fund budget. Identifying Department Budget priorities for fiscal year 2020 21. We started this process by conducting and holding several internal meetings including all hands on deck meeting to help identify Top Priorities for each bureau. With this process, it included captains, commanders, deputy chiefs, assistant chiefs, and directors of each units for them to be able to provide their feedback in our budget process. The next step is outlining the priorities theyve identified in our Strategic Plan and outlining the priorities with the mayor priorities. Reviewing budget request. And lastly, balancing our budgetary needs versus our budgetary limits. And this is a framework that were using to develop our budget. For our department timeline, today were showing that our budgetary process is that on february 12 we scheduled a meeting to present to the commission our budget phase proposal. On february 21, this is our due date to submit our budget to the Mayors Office. March through may is where enhancement requests are presented to the mayor. In june 2020, well come back and well provide the commission with an update on the mayors phased budget. And in august well provide the commission with an update on the boardadopted budget. With that, that concludes my presentation. Next month, well get the actual proposed budget . Thats correct. Ive heard that departments in the city are being asked to cut their budgets. Is that correct . Thats correct. The Mayors Office instructions to department is to cut 3. 5 . This year and to try and cut an additional 3. 5 the following years. So its compounded and its 7 for next year. Do you know if thats true for all departments, not just the Police Department . Its the budget instructions for all departments. Its still were still early in the budget process. The its a wrestling match . Yeah. Just quickly. One of the things in budget is equipment. The state of our fleet of cars is embarrassing and its a Public Safety concern. Its dangerous. A young officer sent me of a picture of an old Crown Victoria that has a bullet hole and the door is falling off a bit. There are not wellintentioned moves by members of our board. I stress that this commission pushes. It is a dangerous issue for the officers. We need new vehicles. Vice president. To point to specifically where i think it is on this presentation that you gave us. I mean, it says that 1 i think of the budget gets put towards equipment and next year its contemplated to cut that in half, so next year a half a percent is going to go towards the cars. Is that right . Thats currently the base budget. Ultimately with the budget submission as we go through this process, those numbers will change. Well have more final numbers to present in approximately a months time. But that number is the starting point. That number will change. I mean, 1 is bad as it is, but cutting a 0. 5 is concerning. Along the similar lines, this increase in airport fees, given that there is not enough money for basic safety equipment, is there enough need to transfer people to the airport that would justify a 20 what was the number . The increase in the airport fund from 78 to 100 million. So the airport budget is okay. I take that back. All good then. Were good. So we get this on february 12 and we have to vote on february 21. Are we meeting on february 19 . Were going to have to vote on the 12. If we could get it well in advance, that would help us to study it. Were meeting in a station on the 19th, so we wont be able to take this up. I wanted to make sure that we have enough time and comfort with the numbers and what youre presenting. I would request it well in advance if you can. Well try to make that happen. Another request i have, chief, and for both of you. If you can get us some specifics about the vehicles on the 12th. This commission can make a special request to the Mayors Office and to the board of supervisors is they seriously consider funding far more vehicles than we have. We just need some information on that. Yes, sir, well do that. That would be great. This one officer i was talking to was driving a car older than him. Thats a fact. Was he 11 . [ overlapping speakers ] i was going to mention the cars. We dont get enough money to replace the cars or extra. My concern is a lot of this is salary and benefits. My concern is with the infrastructure. My concern is i. T. Infrastructure. You know, we have all these the department that hit us up and said we cant talk and pull all the personnel records and keep track of personnel and training and put this together for the e. I. S. System. All of that costs money. So im assuming thats in the payments for other license contracting. I could be wrong. Do we have any plans to upgrade or to buy programs for i. C. Does that make sense . You know what im asking . Yes, maam. Those things are on our list of priorities. So we have to work through, as was stated in the presentation, the limits of the budget compared to what we need. So well be working through that. But that is particularly you mentioned e. I. S. And the other Technology Needs are on the forefront of our ask. I would like to know your priority list, where is it on that priority list, is it five, 10, 15, 20, how far down is it or high . Technology i believe is number two. Our Top Priorities, technology is one of those three. I think it was listed as second. Theyre all important, but technology is definitely in the top three. Good evening, commissioners, executive director katherine flyer. Well be presenting all of that information on the 12th. Hopefully we can get you in advance a little bit more detail. Just a note on equipment and budgets. [ please stand by ]. Vice president taylor can we also divvy up the salary so how much we know is the salary and how much is the overtime . Yes. Salaries are a separate line item a salary, from overtime budget. Commissioner dejesus and we can see how much hes over the overtime budget. President hirsch okay. Thank you both very much. Next line item, please. Clerk Public Comment online item 3. President hirsch okay. Were ready for Public Comment on the line item. Yeah. The public would like to have advance notice on it so we can review it. President hirsch okay. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on the budget . All right. Seeing none, next item, please. Clerk line item 5. Discussion and possible action to approve revised department general or the, discussion and possible action. President hirsch okay. Good evening. Hello, president hirsch, commissioners, and others, i am the chair of the bias working group. As a result of the d. O. J. Report on the San Francisco Police Department, we began reviewing d. O. J. 1107 in june 2019, and we finished our work in november 2019. On behalf of the San Francisco Police Department and the bias working group, i am pleased to present d. G. O. 1107 to the commission. The changes to the general order which have been tracked for your convenience on the copies as well as theres some for the public, as well, can be brokendown into five categories. One, new language that reiterates the sfpds to fair and equal treatment of all its members and its ethical and legal obligations to treat all individuals with dignity and respect. Two, new language to reflect current federal, state, and local laws and ordinances. Three, clarification of and improvement of improvement to sfpd procedures. Four, expanding definitions and including new definitions. And five, inclusion of a new section, mandatory training that outlines the mandatory d. H. R. Approving training for all members. I want to thank the members of the bias working group, commissioners taylor and elias, and the california d. O. J. , director linda simon from d. H. R. And chief scott for their dedication throughout the process of drafting this report that sfpd can be proud of. With that, im available for any questions if you have any on 1107. President hirsch thank you, and thank you for this. I know that rachel kilshaw watches this every wednesday, and i want to thank the commissioners for the long work that theyve done on this. Commissioner elias . Commissioner elias i think who should be added to this are the Community Members and the working group that were extremely diligent. And have this d. G. O. Right when it went into concurrent after the chief gave us his comments was probably the most productive working group ive seen. It was well received. I really appreciated, chief, how you took the time to sort of go over it and send your comments back to the working group and keep them informed as to what changed you made and what you were thinking. So i really think that the community that the working Group Members really did appreciate that, and i know that d. H. R. Had a lot of the input, and the community or the working Group Members were able to sort of respond and they could be heard in this process. So thank you, and thank you to the working Group Members as well as commissioner taylor and myself. President hirsch thank you. Director henderson . One thing that i wanted to prove, this covers the sworn and the civilian members of sfpd, so i think thats an important point to know. And d. P. A. Was an active member of a working group. We just wanted to say, because we put a lot of work into this, that we appreciated the input that came from the obligation we see reflected in the final policy, and we see how well the collaboration process was for this d. G. O. So thank you for the hard work to the group and to the commissioners. Commissioner elias and i apologize. Summer was vital for giving the input and recommending some of the changes. She wrote what i just said, just so im clear. President hirsch commissioner hamasaki . Commissioner hamasaki i reviewed this, and you can see all the policy and thought and research that was put into this, and it looks like a good, solid d. G. O. With regard to this department, so im happy to vote for this and support it. And thanks to commissioners elias and taylor and all the Community Groups that worked together on this. Hirs president hirsch comma, i know i didnt attend the meeting, but i would get feedback, and i appreciate your hard work and patience. I heard that was patience necessary in this working group. Okay. So were going to have a motion on this, but first, we need Public Comment. Is there any Public Comment before we vote on whether to passadopt d. G. O. 1107 . All right. Seeing none, its closed. Is there a motion to adopt it . Motion. President hirsch is there a second . Second. President hirsch all in favor, signify by saying aye. Opposed . All right. It passes unanimously. Thank you. Clerk line item 6, general Public Comment. The public is now welcome to address items that are not on the agenda but within the commissions jurisdiction. Speakers shall address their remarks to the commission as a whole. Neither Police Commissioners or d. P. A. Are required to answer on comments. President hirsch okay. General Public Comment, please. Good evening, commissioners, good evening chief scott, and director henderson. I have a couple of handouts for all of you. Trying to figure out how to work the overhead projector, too. President hirsch why dont we stop the clock while were figuring that out. Okay. Back on the clock. My names brian cox, and im from the public defenders office. A few months ago, on november 14, i presented who had been the lead and asked the sfpd to explain the Racial Disparities in the data. Since then, ive had a chance to dive deeper in the data and had a chance to participate in the lead and who did not because sfpd did not refer them. President hirsch can you remind the public what lead is . Yes. So Law Enforcement assisted diversion, so effectively, its a person who could be prosecuted for various crimes but instead are diverted from prosecution. So we looked at some of the data, and this chart, it was straight the racial composition of all the l. E. A. D. Individuals in 2019. In other words, all those who not only participated in l. E. A. D. But who could have. Black and latinx individuals comprise about 19 , whites comprised about 38 . The next chart shows those who actually did participate in l. E. A. D. That 56 black and latinx majority of all l. E. A. D. Individuals trims to 40 while the white was almost half. The final chart here, shows a much different image. As you can see, those are people who were not referred to l. E. A. D. Based on an assessment by the public defender president hirsch all right. Your time is up. I know you have other folks from your office. Commission commissioner dejesus, did you have a question . Commissioner dejesus yes. Im so the first chart oh, the number of people. Exactly. Commissioner dejesus okay. So she could have answered that. Commissioner elias but i have asked to agendaize this because i think its an important president hirsch thats all right. Well get an agenda item on it. Okay. That was my final ask to please agendaize it. President hirsch all right. Next speaker, please. Magic altman. Good evening. President hirsch good evening. As you all know, jamaica hiltons leg was amputated. He will never be the same. He had found his footing in the world. Apparently, he relapsed, and that is the incident that resulted in him being hunted like prey and shot eight times, three entering his young body. Its a tragedy that could have been avoided if time and distance would have been used. But instead, a young officer used pepper spray. He should have stepped back. His partner should have modelled the correct use of force policy, but instead, we watched in horror as the officers continued to raebleac that overrode all humane compassion and behavior. Neither of these officers should be armed and on the streets. I call on the commission to change policy around Rookie Police and make sure that they are told to stand down in such tense situations. A witness also who was his drone was confiscated, i emailed the chief, i talked to christine, i talked to oconnor. He just wants his drone back, and theres no guarantee that he can get his drone back without being assaulted and accosted. If you want to subpoena him, subpoena him. Give him a guarantee that he can come and get his own property back. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker. Good evening. My name is Fabian Hernandez and im a medical student at ucsf, and im a member of do no harm. We have been by jamaicas side since he was shot. We were there when he was in Critical Condition and intubated. We were there when he could first speak, and we were there when his leg was amputated, and we would like to stand with jamaica and his family tonight. Jamaica hampton was on the street with an unbroken glass bottle. He was struck three times, shot seven times. He was shot while he was on the ground. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is nathan ken. I am a do no Harm Coalition member, also a senior medical student at ucsf. A lot of this has been about lack of sufficient training. Thats not an excuse. His training officer, you can see him tell florez to stop, stop, stop. He was already he is already under disclaimer review for the brutal beating of Jeffrey Kilroy in 2018 after which he was caught laughing. Chief scott, you have the power to fire officer florez. You know that even without a Police Commission hearing, and especially if you think this goes against department policy. You did this once before for officer christopher ulloa. Fire officer florez. Hi. My name is christine, and im a member of the do no Harm Coalition. We know that Police Involved shootings are a Public Health issue, and we see the impact in our clinic. And in addition to the excellent points brought up, we want to highlight that these continued shootings cause trauma for the community, and as we saw at the Community Meeting several weeks ago, theres a lot of unhealed trauma. And deciding to put the officers back on the streets and reinstate them will send a very clear message to the community that their safety is not being prioritized. And any decision that comes out of the Department Needs to be done with that in mind. How can we work to undo the legacy of over 100 Police Involved shootings in the last 20 years that has made the community afraid, devastated, upset, and not feeling listened to, and not feeling safe . Let me just remind myself of the other point i was going to say oh, we also want to make sure that any further discussion about the reinstatement of these officers does not take place in a closed session and involves the Community Members more proactively and involves jamaica hamptons family, as well. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker, please. I dont have any complaints today, first of all. I just want to say, im honored to stand in front of our Police Commissioners, executive director, Paul Henderson of d. P. A. , and chief william scott. Im here to announce that the officers for justice has had their elections of officer, and i stand before you again as the president of the officers for justice. [applause] president hirsch congratulations. This evening, we did have some of our Board Members here. Unfortunately, they had to leave. Theres one thats still left here, and we just want to say that first and foremost, we would be honored to have our Police Commissioners and the executive director of d. P. A. To march with us on m. L. K. Day, which is monday at 11 00 a. M. And also, i stand before you because the officers for justices wants to assure you that we are still committed to social justice and equity for all, and we are offering our services once again based upon the department of status of woman report that we heard last week. We are more committed to the fact that recruitment should still be done by o. S. J. We know how to recruit black and brown women, and we know how to recruit women. So were offering our services to the Police Department, and we also want to let you know that we will be coming back again, and were prepared to do the hard work and volunteer when needed. Thank you so much. President hirsch thank you, lieutenant. Commissioner dejesus congratulations. Commissioner elias yes, congratulations. Can you make sure we get the report . President hirsch good evening. Good evening. Id like to use the overhead. Im here about my son, aubrey abrokasa, who was murdered in august 2014. I lost my investigator. I dont know who to call, whos my investigator, and i believed last time that someone would tell me something today because its been a while since i was told. And during christmas wasnt the time to tell me. My son loved christmas, but i still need an investigator. He gave me some names, but i dont even know who they are. And i need to talk to them, and i need them to look up my sons case and see whats going on. I still need help. I still bring my pictures because i want you to know what youre going through. My and my son just here in his casket, and what they left me with, his body. And i come here every wednesday, hoping to get some justice for my son. I need another investigator on this case, and i need to know who they are. Thank you. President hirsch chief, can we get an investigators name to miss brown tomorrow or by the end of the week, lets say . Yes. And i had a conversation with investigations, so it was my understanding that you would be notified, but i apologize if we didnt get that to you. An investigator has been called or assigned to your case, so ill make sure that okay. cause i never got a call. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Any other Public Comment . All right. Public comment is closed. Next item, please. Clerk line item 7, Public Comment relates to all matters below, including item 8, whether or not to hold item 9 in closed session. I just want to reiterate that the jamaica hampton case needs to be held in public, not closed session. President hirsch this is only if were going into closed session or not. Okay. Any other Public Comment on that point . Hi there. Im Danielle Harris with the public defenders office. I also represent jamaica hampton. Im commenting during this item because his matter is currently listed under closed session 9a, officer involved shooting 19003. Im asking that nothing about that shooting be held under closed session. Understated commitments to transparency and repairing relationships, and the public has a right to know if officers sterling hayes and Christopher Florez are going to be returned to duty. Further update on mr. Hamptons condition. His left leg was amputated last week, as well as part of his left thumb. He also has massive nerve damage in his left arm and h d thumb, which is his dominant arm and thumb. Im asking that officer hayes and florez not be returned to duty. Mr. Hampton was not attacking officer hayes when officer hayes shot him, and that it may be a closer call than officer florez situation does not mean that officer hayes should not be back on the street. Officer florez was nowhere a close call. He exaggerated his injury and mr. Hamptons conduct and shot him when he was on the ground with nothing in his hand, having already been shot in the arm and the leg. Had hayes not told florez to stop, florez would likely have killed a man just four months into his duty. The public interests will not be served by returning either of these officers to our streets. Hear, hear. President hirsch thank you. Commissioner hamasaki. Commissioner hamasaki just a point of clarification for the public and miss harris. The commissioners dont vote, we dont decide for a return to duty decision, so we dont really have we dont have any power in that decision, so i just wanted to let you know that. Its listed as review over the chiefs decision, and i dont know if if you all or chief scott noticed, i was looking at him to direct my comments to him. I hope they were heard. Thank you. Commissioner hamasaki thank you, miss harris. President hirsch commissioner mazzucco . You should know, we review these every year. 100,000 people a year review die in medical malpractice. Those are reviewed in private and not released to the public. You make life or death decisions in a split second in the public. So do these officers. Just so were clear, everybody has to be cognizant of what is happening in these situations and be realistic. We review every one of these situations, but everyone has to step back, take a deep breath, and realize that mistakes happen, and even in your own profession. President hirsch thank you. Council, id like to ask the city attorney. We hold these in closed session for what reason . Its the performance evaluation of the chief that you have authority over reviewing his performance. Commissioner hamasaki because its an employee review, that requires it be held in closed session . Please, can you elaborate a little bit . Commissioner dejesus why is it because of the Performance Review of the chief. Thats his personnel record, and you are reviewing his decisions as it relates to this particular item. Commissioner dejesus and there are things that get calendared for us for closed session, and well have a different agenda. Miss harris just cited names and line items. So can you talk to us why we have a different agenda with names that arent released to public, people who are subject to disciplinary actions, people who have actions pending. Police officer records are protected under 832. 7.
