Regarding Item 3.5, Public Notification and
Dissemination of Information in Public Safety Investigations, (continued
from 9/23/03 to 9/30/03 Council meeting), Richard Konda (Asian Law Alliance)
and Sam Ho (Coalition for Justice and Accountability) requested that it be
heard during the September 30th evening session and that speakers be
allowed either more than two minutes each or a block of time during public
testimony. Because of the anticipated
length of the evening session, the Committee denied the request to hear the
item in the evening. The Committee
directed staff to request the Mayor’s Office for a time certain during the
afternoon session and also suggested Mr. Konda and Mr. Ho contact the Mayor’s
Office to request a time certain and to negotiate the amount of time each
speaker and/or the Coalition will have during public testimony. The Committee requested Mr. Konda and Mr. Ho
work with the Coalition to ensure that presentations are concise and
focused. As a point of clarification,

would be generic in terms of what the processes are for conducting
investigations.
