Commission votes to go into closed session and not disclose closed-session discussion
Summary
The commission voted to enter closed session to discuss attorney–client privileged matters under the San Francisco Administrative Code and, after closed session, voted not to disclose any discussion; both actions were approved by voice votes at the Feb. 12 meeting.
The San Francisco Police Commission on Feb. 12 voted to go into closed session to discuss confidential attorney–client privileged matters under the San Francisco Administrative Code and, after the closed session, voted not to disclose any portion of that discussion.
The commission moved to hold Item 7 in closed session under San Francisco Administrative Code Section 67.1 and approved the motion by voice vote. After returning from closed session, the commission considered whether to disclose discussions from that session under San Francisco Administrative Code Section 67.12(a); a motion "to move not to disclose" was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: The commission invoked local administrative-code authority to protect privileged deliberations and then chose not to disclose the contents of the closed session. The vote to withhold disclosure was unanimous by voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript; no further public details about the matters discussed were provided at the meeting.
The meeting adjourned immediately after the vote.
