Police Commission approves settlement recommendation in Alamo Zafar case unanimously
Summary
The Commission voted unanimously to approve a proposed settlement under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 in Alamo Zafar v. City and County of San Francisco (D. Ct. No. C07‑04494) as part of the consent calendar; the vote was taken by roll call.
The San Francisco Police Commission unanimously approved, by roll-call vote, a recommendation on the consent calendar that the Board of Supervisors approve a proposed settlement under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 in the matter of Alamo Zafar v. City and County of San Francisco, U.S. District Court No. C07‑04494.
A motion and a second were made to approve the consent calendar item. Before the roll call, the Commission took a brief public comment on item 8; the comment did not result in any change to the recommendation. The chair then called the roll. Commissioners Teresa Sparks, Joe Marshall, Yvonne Lee, Thomas Mazuko and David Onick all voted “Aye,” and the motion carried unanimously.
The Commission’s action was to forward the recommendation consistent with the city attorney’s advice; the consent‑calendar vote authorizes the Commission’s support for the settlement recommendation to the Board of Supervisors but does not itself finalize the Board’s action.
No settlement terms or dollar amounts were read into the record during the commission’s vote; those details were not specified in the transcript.
