RESOLUTION NO. 21-76
RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS TO ALLOW TELECONFERENCED MEETINGS UNDER CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(e)
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 54953(e) empowers local policy bodies to convene by teleconferencing technology during a proclaimed state of emergency under the State Emergency Services Act so long as certain conditions are met; and
WHEREAS, In March, 2020, the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a state of emergency in California in connection with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and that state of emergency remains in effect; and
WHEREAS, In February 25, 2020, the Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco (the “City”) declared a local emergency, and on March 6, 2020 the City’s Health Officer declared a local health emergency, and both those declarations also remain in effect; and
WHEREAS, On March 11 and March 23, 2020, the Mayor issued emergency orders suspending select provisions of local law, including sections of the City Charter, that restrict teleconferencing by members of policy bodies; those orders remain in effect, so City law currently allows policy bodies to meet remotely if they comply with restrictions in State law regarding teleconference meetings; and
WHEREAS, On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, a bill that amends the Brown Act to allow local policy bodies to continue to meet by teleconferencing during a state of emergency without complying with restrictions in State law that would otherwise apply, provided that the policy bodies make certain findings at least once every 30 days; and
WHEREAS, While federal, State, and local health officials emphasize the critical importance of vaccination and consistent mask-wearing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the City’s Health Officer has issued at least one order (Health Officer Order No. C19-07y, available online at www.sfdph.org/healthorders) and one directive (Health Officer Directive No. 2020-33i, available online at www.sfdph.org/directives) that continue to recommend measures to promote physical distancing and other social distancing measures, such as masking, in certain contexts; and
WHEREAS, The California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“Cal/OSHA”) has promulgated Section 3205 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, which requires most employers in California, including in the City, to train and instruct employees about measures that can decrease the spread of COVID-19, including physical distancing and other social distancing measures; and
WHEREAS, Without limiting any requirements under applicable federal, state, or local pandemic-related rules, orders, or directives, the City’s Department of Public Health, in coordination with the City’s Health Officer, has advised that for group gatherings indoors, such as meetings of boards and commissions, people can increase safety and greatly reduce risks to the health and safety of attendees from COVID-19 by maximizing ventilation, wearing well-fitting masks (as required by Health Officer Order No. C19-07), using physical distancing where the vaccination status of attendees is not known, and considering holding the meeting remotely if feasible, especially for long meetings, with any attendees with unknown vaccination status and where ventilation may not be optimal; and
WHEREAS, On July 31, 2020, the Mayor issued an emergency order that, with limited exceptions, prohibited policy bodies other than the Board of Supervisors and its committees from meeting in person under any circumstances, so as to ensure the safety of policy body members, City staff, and the public; and
WHEREAS, the Police Commission has met remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic and can continue to do so in a manner that allows public participation and transparency while minimizing health risks to members, staff, and the public that would be present with in-person meetings while this emergency continues; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Police Commission finds as follows:
- As described above, the State of California and the City remain in a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this meeting, the Police Commission has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency.
- As described above, State and City officials continue to recommend measures to promote physical distancing and other social distancing measures, in some settings.
- As described above, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, conducting meetings of this body in person would present imminent risks to the safety of attendees, and the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That for at least the next 30 days meetings the Police Commission will continue to occur exclusively by teleconferencing technology (and not by any in-person meetings or any other meetings with public access to the places where any policy body member is present for the meeting). Such meetings of the Police Commission that occur by teleconferencing technology will provide an opportunity for members of the public to address this body and will otherwise occur in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of parties and the members of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Secretary of the Police Commission is directed to place a resolution substantially similar to this resolution on the agenda of a future meeting of the Police Commission within the next 30 days. If the Police Commission does not meet within the next 30 days, the Secretary is directed to place a such resolution on the agenda of the next meeting of the Police Commission.

- Commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future Commission Meetings.
Commissioner Cohen commented in recognizing police reform initiatives and talked about legislation signed by Governor Newsome. She stated: “On September 30th, the Governor signed Senate Bill 16 by Senator Nancy Skinner, the Democrat from Berkeley. You might recall Senator Skinner’s legislation increases the transparency of peace officers’ misconduct records pertaining to the findings of unreasonable or excessive use of force, discriminatory or prejudiced behavior, failure to intervene when witnessing excessive force by a peace officer or participation in unlawful searches and arrests. And, again, you may recall, our Commission recently had the privilege of having Senator Skinner appear before us to discuss this particular piece of legislation and, publicly, I’d like to just congratulate Senator Skinner on her consistent leadership on the police reform. Also, the Governor signed Senate Bill 2, which was authored by State President pro tem Tony Akins from San Diego and Senator Steve Bradford of Gardena. Senate Bill 2 creates a system within the Commission on Peace Officers Standard on Training, POST, to investigate and revoke or suspend peace officer certification for serious misconduct including excessive force, sexual assault, demonstration of bias and dishonesty. This legislation also creates the Peace Officers Standards Accountability Division and the Peace Officers Standards Accountability Advisory Board within POST to review serious misconduct cases. What’s significant is the enactment of Senate Bill 2 will hopefully serve to end the practice of agency shopping by officers who have been suspended or fired for misconduct. Other police reform bills signed by the Governor include AB 26 which was authored by Assemblyman Chris Holden of Pasadena. This legislation requires the use of force policies for law enforcement agencies to include the requirement that officers “will immediately” report potential excessive force and further describe the requirement to intercede if other officers use excessive force. I also want to highlight AB 48 which was authored by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego. AB 45 requires Police Officers Standards in Training in the use of projectiles or chemical agents for crowd control if there is a reasonable threat of life or great bodily injury. Also want to bring to your attention Assembly Bill 89 which was authored by Assembly member Reggie Jones Sawyer of Los Angeles. AB 89 raises the minimum age for a new police officer to 21 beginning in 2024 and requires that new officers have college degrees. I know that is something that has been talked a lot about and is now State law. I want to also note AB 481 which was authored by our own Assemblyman David Chiu. This legislation establishes requirements that must be met before a law enforcement agency acquire and use military equipment. 8490 which was authored by Assemblyman Mike Gibson who represents Carson. AB 8490 prohibits a law enforcement agency from authorizing techniques and transport methods that involve a substantial risk of positional asphyxia, in other words, restricting a person’s breathing. AB 958 is also authored by Assemblyman Mike Gibson. AB 958 requires all law enforcement agencies to maintain a policy that prohibits participation in a law enforcement gang and makes a violation of that policy grounds for termination.”
Commissioner Cohen stated that the common goal is to make sure that our officers are provided with the tools and the guidance that they need to serve effectively and in the best interest of justice for the community.
