Police Commission assigns disciplinary casework, moves to closed session and votes for nondisclosure
Summary
The commission assigned disciplinary charges for two cases to an individual commissioner, voted to retire into closed session under personnel exceptions and later voted to withhold disclosure of closed‑session deliberations. The meeting ended by adjourning at about 7:53 PM.
At its July 21 meeting the San Francisco Police Commission handled several administrative matters, including assigning disciplinary charges and convening a closed session to consider personnel items.
Under Item 4a, the commission announced assignment of disciplinary charges in two case files (ALW c 10‑1158 and ALW c 10‑169) and a recommendation that the matters be assigned to Commissioner Petro de Jesus for taking of evidence, subject to eventual reassignment. Commissioners discussed balancing dockets across members.
Later, under Item 5 the commission announced closed‑session topics (personnel exception for adoption of findings of fact in two cases and a public‑employee appointment) and voted to retire into closed session at 6:15 PM pursuant to the government and administrative code citations read into the record. Upon return to open session the commission took Item 8 and voted "for non disclosure" of the closed‑session discussion; the motion was seconded and carried 'without objection.' The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:53 PM.
Commissioners also discussed procedural tweaks to hearing‑officer rules and docket management intended to speed resolution of disciplinary dockets, including proposed timelines for returning cases to the commission if trial dates are not set and shortening hearing‑officer report timelines.
