6.   Report to the Commission (DISCUSSION ONLY)

a.  Chief’s Report

·        Status of the 2006-2008 Corrections Standards Authority (CSA)
Biennial Inspection of the JJC. 

·        JPD met with a CSA inspector last week in regards to SF Unified School District’s (SFUSD) position to extend the summer schedule.  A representative from SFUSD and their counsel were present, as well as JPD’s counsel, Sallie Gibson.  SFUSD is going to provide CSA with the documented school calendar that identifies what days of service SFUSD is in session.  Based on CSA’s response, this is likely to be accepted and may prevent the need for JPD to appear at the board meeting on May 21st.  This has yet to be confirmed. 

·        JPD is preparing a document that will be sent to CSA that memorializes the meeting.  In addition, SFUSD is also preparing a document that corroborates all the items discussed at the meeting.  This will be sent to CSA no later than Monday.  Chief Siffermann is prepared to attend the board meeting in May. 

·        Magi Work, Field Representative for CSA, offered to provide JPD with technical assistance for JPD to remain in compliance. 

·        Commissioner Woodson would like a letter from Ms. Work memorializing the areas in compliance, what the next steps are, and that Ms. Work supports JPD in the area of technical aspects. 

·        No public comment.
