Those that will get set to builg and dont use it oregon get load dont use it all but spend it ot measures and even candidates. It ought to be stopped. And thats why id like it put n calendar next week with the usuf analysis. The other one deals with Public Financing money which is left o. And thats not in ordinance fort id ask staff to put it in ordie form. I was given a onesheet summaryt which i gave to the executive dr and i didnt retain a copy for. So i am speaking from memory. But it is a proposal which is meritorious, dealing with what s to that mon what happens to t money so it isnt used for nonl purposes or nonintended purpos. And i think that concludes my cn that, although i wanted to talkt state legislation. I dont know, mr. Chairman, if s appropriate here or under new b. It would be under item 10. State legislation on item 10, tf report on policy. Okay. So if there is no objection t commissioner kopp has proposed,l have that on next month. So the Commission Just to cly would like the staff hes analyr recommendations in regard to boe previous proposal by supervisorl and the proposal on page 1 aboue of Public Comments by superviso. Thats what commissioner kops suggesting. Ill in accord with that. Well have that on next. A brief question to commissip about supervisor farrells prevs proposal. You had mentioned you wanted it presented to the commission at t months meeting for further acty the body. Have you given further thought t this body would take . Gentlemen. Yes, adopt it. Do we have the power to adopt i . There are two ways you can m. Do we have the power to adops or no. There are two ways to make iy law. First is to send it back to thef supervisors which theyve alreay rejected it. The second is to make it a ballt measure m. Thats what i want to do. In terms of timing, would yot on the same ballot as the other legislation . Yes. As soon as possible. So well be discussing next n regard to the two matters whetht we want to put those on the balr the june election. Public comment on that . Commissioners, peter cohen. Are we expect to the legislatiom supervisor farrell which was rey the board 83 dl tha 3, thattalt nonprofit housing organizationsh our organization has made them s members. Aside from the policy discussiod perhaps differences commissionea lot of concern about the intentd that ordinance and lack of discn about it as a policy matter. At the time of the of that, we k housing that kind of administrae policy should rest. We suggest that if there is a cn about a lack of clarity around s for refinancing which what it is refinancing Affordable Housing s and fully paying out the city it those proadz proceeds are use pd be which many other policies abt developer fees and other such te crafted. Thats how we suggest it be hand rather than legislatively or the ballot. I would secondly ask as staff ig their investigation, to report o you next month, that you do reao the Affordable Housing nonprofit organizations that do this worko understand the intricacies of refinancing of the projects as s the Mayors Office of housing. These are the professions. Professionals. I would flag a great flag of con about tackling something without understanding how this works. I will comment on that. I expect well fully understande dont now, with the staff reporh covers all aspects of it includg examples of how its been used. I would request that the stat also focuses on whether or not n area within the jurisdiction ofe ethics commission. Further comment on this item . We go into item 10, discussion f policy report and monthly yo upe commissions annual policy plan. Ill keep it short considerie time. You see a laundry list of itemse attempting to work on with a coe added for next month. The legislation, we had the fulr included but obviously it did nt included with the documents thae in front of you. Well send that off to commissis with a complete list of the stae legislation that highlights sore jurisdictional areas that the cn oversees. So conflict of interest, lobbyi. Well additionally post that ont spend it specifically to all ofo you can see the legislative tra. I dont have a lot of highlighto under the specifics of northwess that were chaptered at the stat. The ones that we did review here some local implication all in ss review it is fairly minimal. So with that, well take questis obviously with the understandint well submit to you as soon as e the full legislative tracker wie summaries of the bills. Commissioners. Any Public Comment . David philpel. Items 9 and 10. When staff refers to local legin that is at or has been before td of supervisors, if they could ce number and not just say supervim or farrell, but have the file n, that would be helpful for us. And for state legislation instef just referring to ab187 to int was 2017 maybe who the author it was chapter they do that. In the future will the tracke included as an attachment . Yes. All right, just so its clea. Some just read the staff memo. And its good to have all the rs there. Thanks references there. And thanks to kyle for his good. Further comment . Well go to item number 11, disn of the enforcement report. In the interest of time, ile this open for questions. Commissioners. Any Public Comment . Item 12, discussions of the e directors report. The only highlight i would lo draw your attention to is on paf the monthly report, the status f commission positions and recrui. Since our last meeting, we had r positions posted on line, threee positions closed today. And we have one more of them clg next week. So we have a total of five posis that are in play at the moment. So we look forward to reportinge updates to you at the november g on those. Commissioners, any discussior questions . Yes, i thought i understood t maybe i dont. Of the five, how many are inves . One. That position closed this aftert ak p. M. At a 5 00. 5 00. The deadline closed at 5 00. Now it will take another nins to go through Civil Service . Im more optimistic than tha. More like three months. Okay. Any Public Comment on this . Okay. Item 13, discussion and possibln regarding status of complaints d or initiated by the ethics comm. Possible closed session, does ay commissioner wish to have a clod session . Commissioners, any comments or s relating to this item . Any Public Comment . Well go to item 14, discussiond possible action on items for fue meetings. Go ahead. Commissioner chiu i think in following and i think many of yd our last two hardy stalwarts thn the audience have been followinh mounting dismay the stories s stories about the intervention a in our election in 2016. The use of targeted on line adso influence the outcome of the we. I would election. I would like to ask staff to pra white paper or in whatever formu think is best to present the isd what action we might take as a commission here in San Francisco prevent the hjing o hi jacking l process. Do you have a time behind . What would be expedition butt month. Thank you. Rvery topical and timely. Commissioner kopp. Are you finished. I have a couple of matters. Qualifying as possible action fe meetings. One is not new. And originates in may. And was part of our june meetind that is a Charter Amendment to r this commission to have its ownl council. Independent of the city attorne. A Legal Council exempt from civl Service Selection processes. With a provision that the city y will represent the commission at proceeding in which the commissa party. The Deputy Director of enforceml be responsible for legal matterg from the context of investigati. And enforcement. Mr. Chairman and members, i notn the monthly report of pending complaints. One of the items which i cant yes i can put my hands on now, s been pending for some period of. And i respect the rule of confidentiality. But i note that the settlement e form of a draft of a stipulatios been sent to the City Attorney. Could anything better describe a prohibited conflict of interesth penalizpenalizes us in its exect kind of circumstance. I wont reiterate because of th, our unhappy appearance over ther of the Planning Commission was g advice from deputy city attorneo also gives us advice. The time is now, and i would lio request that that be placed on r agenda for action in november. That relates to the next bal. I suggest that december. December would be better. I accept that logical sugges. Secondly i would like to ask thf procure preparation, i guess itn ordinance, which would abolish e Sunshine Ordinance Task force. This was created apparently in y legislation from a then supervi, when i asked him the rationale t it was to keep its eyes on the s commission. Thats a heck of a reason to cre another city bureaucracy. Granted it has limited staff, bs its responsibilities duplicate e responsibilities of this commisn namely the brown act of the staf california, its local counterpe California Public records act, d matters which relate there to. Enough is enough. So i would ask that staff prepat and id ask that it be placed on december. I think mr. Chen has youe indicating you have something te on what commissioner kopp said . Just this is probably not the for a full discussion of the pr, but to clarify, the ethics commn cannot place a charter amendmene ballot, that would be somethingt needs to go through the board of supervisors. Both of those changes requira Charter Amendment. Not sunshine . That would be an ordinance. On what grounds . So section sa 15. 102 of the r is the provision that allows ths commission to place measures one ballot. That specifies that the etics cn only places ordinant ordinance. What do you recommend as our attorney . If the commission wished to e such a Charter Amendment, it wod forward to the board of supervir further consideration. What is that suggest as a recommendation from you to us . That the commission can still consider it and that the commisa is is amenable they can forwo the supervisor. It can be any recommendation the on a matter of recommendation. What would the form of the recommendation be . A vote in favor from the memf the ethics commission. All right. I ask that it be calendared fort purpose. Okay, lets do that. Any further i have one other. Certainly. Unfortunately, the letterwrs anonymous, but i received a communication with a draft reson that dealt with opposition to ag assembly bill. It was mo mooit was moot becausi received it, the bill had been d and signed by the governor and chaptered. But i would like staff to consia method or methods for keeping tf state legislation which affectsr responsibilities. And i havent paid attention toe board of supervisors does now, d to have a state National Affairs committee which dealt with pende legislation and federal legisla. I think it originated from city departments who would bring it e attention of the clerk of the b. Then it would be on a calendar e committee of three would then lo arguments about itfje and make recommendations. But this was a bill which made t certain meetings, i guess, relao negotiations and it recited thay california communities adopted s of civic openness in negotiatio. Coin. The California First amendment n missed this bill entirely, but t created an exception to the bron ways that didnt result before. So, legislative session doesntn until january, maybe there is pf time to figure out a way for use about state bills. If iif i might, as kyle indit of his monthly staff report, thl be a legislative tracker attacha matter of kors. It was an oversight from us thi. That tracker will include itemse relevant to our work and by thae mean items that would have an in our work and programs we adminid laws we enforce. Youll start seeing those at tht months meeting. It is important to acknowledge y be items of general legislationl not be tracking because we haveo authority to administer or enfoe laws. The same may be true of the is e legislative items that may be it to our work or open government t we dont have the authority to administer and enforce. We need to make sure that we mor what we can and be responsive to questions that the commission h. It will likely have a narrower e of all potential bill bills that things we touch on in our work. Thank you. Anything further . No, just Public Comments . I have one more thing. Our chief programs officer askei ask you all if it would be okayd sent you an email previously wn example of a proposed electroni method for sending you the agena packet. Instead of receiving the agendat as attachments to your emails , youd receive it as hyperlinks e website. Im wondering. As long as we get our copies. All right. Thank you. Public comment. Thank you david philpell. To commissioner kopp, the boardf supervisors does not have a cury state and federal affairs commi. The city has a state Legislation Committee and im sure staff cam the commission as a future meett how that process works for the o take a position on state legisln which is an important arm that w people know about in city gover. The second is touching back to t of deputy City Attorney chen. A Charter Amendment would requix votes from the boar board of suo be placed on ballot. The commission has no authoritye a Charter Amendment and the mayo formal role in the placing of cr amendments on the ballot. The third was the suggestion the Sunshine Ordinance Task force be abolished. That will be a controversial su. That can be done by ordinance oy the electorate. The commissioner kopp is slighty incorrect. The task force was actually cres part of the original sunshine oe in 1993. It was amended several times ass name and composition in the lats then amended further with prop n 1999. It was a feature of the original sunshine ordinance in 1993 as dy then deputy City Attorney randye and was a big usual for then sus akton burg and shelly principal. There can be and perhaps will be on the merits of the task forces to live with and without the ta. But its not simply 67. 30 that e amended or repeals but other prs in 67. 21e and 36. 35 and a numbf provisions. Lots of things. Be careful what you ask for. Finally, if you eliminate what is happening . Be careful what you ask for . You ask for an elimination of dd fending of taxpayer money . If the taskers to is eliminad there would be a complaint procn it is entirely possible and pers likely this commission would hef those sunshine complaints at grt length and hear lots of people f who youve seen and havent andt want to take on that burden of g all those various sundry compla. Thats why i offer a caution toe favorable. Right now you get to be care. Right now you get a limited amot fimenterred tfiltered to you. Thank you, any further Public Comment . Any additional opportunities . Is there any additional public t on matters appearing on not appn the agenda pursuant to the ethis Commission Bylaws . Hearing none, is there a motiono adjourn .
