The bottom line is if you were a commission and you were in charge of a staff and a staff screws up it reflects on you. You cant sit there and say, oh, if we find our executive director in violation, that has no reflection on us at all. Even though we turnover 99 percent of...

Possible action on the complaints. Mr. Chat field who is not here, wrote mr. Shaw in may, the Ethics Commission regularly handles referals from the task force, however it will not ajudd kate these matters, in both complaints. He repeated that in his confidential memo to mr. Shen and to mark kets of the District Attorney office. Because the allegation involves johnson and croy executive director of the commission, the agency cannot handle the matter. Period. The commission is engaged in the discu...

Experience having been chair of lafco, doesnt make sense. It doesnt mean that lafco will indeed use the 3 years, but having that possibility is important and to the extent that lafco needs to shorten the period, i think its more appropriate for lafco to make that decision given that we have members of the board of supervisors that are on lafco. If someone feels very strongly, i think there might be a vacancy on lafco. If a member feels so strongly about that and they are able to serve through la...

There is something that i have to do. Commissioners ray hartz, director of San Francisco open government. On this screen is a list of 16 orders of determination issued by the Sunshine Ordinance Task force in cases i have filed. And that 16 out of 21 cases that i have one a success rate of 76 percent.

What i think is ...

About and you look at the variance, particularly your actuals compared to budgets and under the lobby that was a significant variance in our favor and at least on the budget. And then under Campaign Consultant fees, we budgeted for 18 kind of okay with that and that was okay. So talk to me, a little bit more mr. St. Croix about the lobby fees that we, they jump so quickly. And we were able to, we only budgeted for 27 and it is 53. And are they or is it just because it is a particular year . Or i...

Supervisor norman yee colleagues, any questions . Thank you very much. Is there any additional Public Comment . Seeing none, P...

Director there for 11 years and i had the capacity to address graffiti issues and support graffiti abatement across the city and giving funding to Community Groups to clean up graffiti and also includes giving a grant to the San Francisco Police Department to use cameras to take pictures to document and track graffiti vandals and data base. Im not sure what happened with that project, but i was working with officer puts at the time at the Police Department. I have been with the chamber since 201...

Because there is more enforcement and more folks feel the need to register as lobbyists in. Or else, i would say, if you are going on, like you do the budgeting year over year and you look at what the past was and you put in a conservative number in there. And we are already with only two months into the year, or however far we are in the year. 7 months. We are 53, but we budgeted for 27. Yeah. So that is great. But i was just wondering if you saw some kind of. Go ahead. I dont know when the bud...

So, essentia...

Ethics commission can cannot investigate or take action on those, we have to defer them to the state. So we can levy five, and i dont understand. When the people file late, we can levy late fines, but if people falsify the documents, and dont report the things that they are supposed to or refused to file and that is out of our hands. Okay, that is all that i have for today. Any questions or comments . Well, interest to the hear about and you look at the variance, particularly your actuals compar...
