Commission moves to closed session on personnel matters, returns and withholds disclosure
Summary
The Police Commission recessed into closed session to consider personnel matters, including the stipulated disposition in case C07-one6; the meeting returned to open session and the commission sustained an objection to disclosing closed-session discussion.
At the Feb. 20 meeting the San Francisco Police Commission voted to move into closed session to discuss personnel matters, including a stipulated disposition in the matter of case number C07-one6 and the status and calendaring of pending disciplinary matters (items 9A and 9B). The chair ordered the room cleared for closed session and the commission left open session at 6:07 p.m.
The commission returned to open session at 7:05 p.m. and held Item 10, a vote on whether to disclose any or all of the closed-session discussion. The transcript records that an objection to disclosure was sustained ("That objection is so ordered").
Why it matters: closed-session consideration of personnel and disciplinary matters is a routine function of the commission but withholdings of disclosure can affect public transparency; the commission cited personnel exceptions as the basis for the closed session.
Next steps: no public disclosure of the closed-session discussion was recorded in the meeting transcript.
