And the clerk of the committee is lisa, and madam clerk do we have any announcements . Yes, make sure that silence all cell phones and Electronic Devices completed speaker car...

Relocation costs and it pays their rent. This is a huge impact on building owners. Its huge, it really is. You know, a lot of owners dont realize that, you know, when there is an earthquake, their money flow is going to stop. How are they going to pay their mortgages, how are they going to pay their other bills, how are they going to live . What else can Property Owners do in Residential Rental housing before an earthquake . Well, the first thing you want to do is get your property assessed. Fin...

Lines 1 through 7 is that there arent sufficient what is the word . Comments. There arent sufficient what . Commas, punctuation. Okay. To read that and try to interpret it and you know we all try to do statutory construction here, but others outside might look at it other ways. Can you just tell me where you would want to put commas . Although, i hate it maybe in the case, the passive voice might be better. So campaign financerelated filings reports or statements shall be filed by either a Draft...

Mr. St. Croix would you like to introduce this agenda item . So during the summer days of the mayoral campaign, the most recent mayoral campaign, we had issues that presented themselves to us that were new to San Francisco in that there were campaign let me take that word back. There were committees organized to draft ed lee to run for mayor. He was at the time considered to be a caretaker who was to fill the vacancy until the next election could be held. There were at least three sump committee...

Were talking about. Okay. Anyway, it could possibly go there. Somewhere in that range. I think on the chapter 2 question, i would probably not change the burden. I think the standard of proof and burden to be kind of makes sense. That is what the whole basis of the chapter 2 versus 3 thing was. I think i would be better with three positive votes needed to make a finding that there was a violation. So even if it requires three votes to find a violation, you can still hold the person to the burden...

In that situation you are not spending money to convince the voters. True. So i think leaving out the word public is okay. Okay. Any other comments from commissioners on Decision Point 1 . Public comment . David pillpa. Im trying to kind of work through this language, including the top of page 2, lines 14. Sorry, its giving me a headache. I would suggest a few points. On line 17 and 18, i would reword it slightly to say, in order to support the qualification of an identifiable person for city El...

Thanks. Respectfully i disagreeing with member pillpa with respect to burden of proof, with respect to chapter 2. The fact that the matter has been referred from the task force means that the task force has found a violation. Perhaps a willful one. And i think that the burden of proof should definitely rest with the resplendent in that case. As a matter of fact, i think that if you recall, when the task force refers were not looking for readjudication. Again, we have five new members and its pos...

Ammiano for mayor. I recall some of that, but try not to recall all of it this sec. You could have the same efforts that happened with run he had run, and progress for all, in the context of a writein campaign and im not sure under this definition it would get captured. That is why im hung up on qualification versus election. May i ask you a question about that . Sure. Its not clear to me why that is materially different from what we have . Well, again its not necessarily the election of a perso...

Elective office. Because that presumes that that person has not yet qualified, and that the purpose of the endeavor is to have them be a qualified candidate. Its not to support the election of the that person. Its really more about getting them to be a qualified candidate and im actually thinking less about the draft someone over the summer or draft someone as a written that actually happened in 1999 in ammiano for mayor. I recall some of that, but try not to recall all of it this sec. You could...

Different powers and duties and i wouldnt want to complete those. I think i have said enough for the moment. Thanks. Respectfully i disagreeing with member pillpa with respect to burden of proof, with respect to chapter 2. The fact that the matter has been referred from the task force means that the task force has found a violation. Perhaps a willful one. And i think that the burden of proof should definitely rest with the resplendent in that case. As a matter of fact, i think that if you recall...
