Requests, john, you mentioned that there is an increase on the Public Record requests and what do you account for that . Is that just seasonal . It is really hard to predict when they will come and when they will not. We have one record request last week that took two staffers, the better part of three days. To fill in. And then and then we had a second record request. And in the previous weeks. Anda say that it is seasonal, and it is just, there are so many different motivating factors behind t...

This report. The first section, number 7, discusses the filing of form 700. And some focus needs to be placed on the fact that the filing of such reports are done under the penalty of perjury, the city librarian failed to figure that out. And he also didnt seem to understand that finding such a statement is perjury, even when it is not done in front of the public official under oath. And i have to believe that someone as intelligent does not understand those matters and there must be many more C...

Herrera in similar amounts. In section ten is says that due to the records involved. And it has been side tracked from the regular duties end quote, under the sunshine ordinance and the San Francisco public records act. And responding to public records requests, they are among the regular duties of every City Employees. This mistakingly represents this as something that they are being taken away from their duties. It is part of their duty and any City Employee who is asked for a record is a requ...

Agenda item 6, items for future meetings, do the commissioners have any suggestions as to items that they would like to see on the agenda for the meetings in november . Or subsequent there to . Mr. Heart you are the only mefm of the public, do you have a suggestion or items that we should put on the agenda. I do, ra...

Saying that they are taken away from the regular duties it is simply a ploy and the record request to something and it is a legitimate legal request from a citizen of San Francisco. And the control and the supervision or a record and not getting it. And it is my own experience after chasing him for two solid years and going through the City Attorneys Office and a petition that the supervisor of records to continue to records and those were the very records used to find him in violation of the re...

Blame you either, would i not want to take the action if i knew that the only thing that i would get is somebody saying that i am not going to do it. And you dont have any power and you dont have any control, people say that the Sunshine Task force does not and i will give them this, at least, listen to the citizens of this city and when they find a good case, they will issue a violation and i have 19 of them myself and just try to get them enforced. And you can catch people in a blatant lie and...

Which i could understan...
