Has the Elections Commission made any referals themselves for matters to be handled by a agency outside of san jose . The Election Commission procedures and i think that our ethics ordinance do have some provisions for making ref...

Purposefully misinterpreted to protect the agencies in question but also the ethics staff. As far as you not having a conflict of interest, lets look at the Arts Commission when they got the report from the civil grand jury that listed what they had done, including spending 300,000 on things that they had no Legal Authority to do so.

Procedures that your commission has in reviewing these referals from the Sunshine Ordinance Task force to refer that to another adjudicatory body completely. It is one thing to have a staff person to review in place of Ethics Commission staff and you know, conform the analysis, based on proceedings before the task force.
