Sheriff, and the sheriff said no, youre permitted to have a sign, and it cant be larger than a certain size. But no, you sat there with a straight face and set to his face, you cant have signs. Thats the rules. You talk a lot about stuff you absolutely no nothing about. You all took sunshine ordinance training . Ha i doubt if any of you has ever even read that law, and yet, you sign a statement every year saying you understand. Yeah, you understand it only to the point where you dont like it because it holds you accountable, and if theres one thing that nobody is able to do in this city is hold anybody accountable, and thats the way you like it. And thats why you dont bite the hand that feeds you; in other words, the body that appoints each and every one of you to this commission. President keane well go now to item 10, discussion of the executive directors report. I have a brief report for you, commissioners. We continue with our organizational or staffing updates. Well be working with the department of Human Resources through the new year to developing the positions with job postings. We expect three positions to be posted in december, but well be working closely with the department to be moving those closer to hiring completion. I also would note that the annual conference of the council on governmental ethics laws is taking this year in tlont. We are using salary savings to send two Staff Members three of them, actually. Two of the three will be participating in panels, jessica blum will be comoderating the panels discussion on monday. Kyle will be on a panel along with others from wash wash d. C. Talking about expanding conflict of interest laws in different areas and how elected officials raise funds, and i will be on a panel regarding measuring agencys success, so that should be an interesting discussion, as well, but we are looking forward to providing you with a full report. Its an extraordinary opportunity for our staff and to learn from our peers, so we look forward to reporting to you about that in december. Commissioner chiu if i may, so when you go, i hope that youll have the opportunity to ask questions about what other jurisdictions might be doing in regard to the social media and Election Integrity and if they have, you know, have any insights or ideas to share, that would be great. Thank you, well do that. President keane okay. Any Public Comment on agenda item 10 . Commissioner, ray hart, director of San Francisco open government, and id like the executive director to ask a question. What is the policy in most cities regarding open government laws . Are they enforced or are they not enforced . In this city, we have a body that functions, the Sunshine Ordinance Task force, that does its job, and you may think its all b. S. , but thats your opinion, and you may think all the people are a bunch of cranks. Thats your opinion. Commissioner kopp you use the term screwballs. Okay. Screwballs, but thats a personal opinion, and you know what . Everybody has one, so the bottom line is why dont you ask them when you have a law that the body that is supposed to enforce it refuses to enforce, what do they do . I seem to remember a confirmation hearing when commissioner kopp was nominated where supervisor fewer asked him whether he would enforce laws that he didnt agree with, and he went through a long, convoluted explanation, never really answering the question, but we have the answer right here. I dont like the sunshine ordinance, i dont like the task force, so i am not going to enforce the law. And i dislike it so much, i want to do away with it so that we can then shove it under the rug and dont have to go through the pretense of holding hearings. And thats all they are, isnt it . How does due process comport with the idea that you always come out with the same result the complainant loses and the respondent wins . The citizen loses, and the city wins . Well, ive said it before, its because number one, you cant enforce any of them, and you dont want anybody to know how impotent you really are. One ordinance referral you did pass against the city librarian, and you sent it to the mayor, and the mayor ignore it. Not only did he ignore it, he reappointed the person. Shows you how much the mayor thinks of you. You dont do anything except sit here, have meetings and shuffle paperwork. Ive asked time and time again for any member of this commission to tell the public what exactly you have done that has made this city a more ethical place. Never had a response. Its like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. You shuffle papers, you fill out the forms, and thats the end of the story. And a City Department head sepg 15,000 and then lying about it under penalty of perjury falls below your radar . Shows you how good you are at what you do. President keane theres two points id like to make from friends of ethics. If the measure that was passed today on anticorruption and accountablity is watered down at the board and that is what happens, then i want you to know that friend of ethics and our allies will mount a significant campaign and put on the ballot a robust version stronger than what youve passed tonight, and i dont have any doubts tonight whatsoever what the public will do with it since weve seen it in the past. It will pass with virtually no campaign at all. Thats one point. Second point in terms of the ethic commissions ability to enforce the Sunshine Ordinance Task force, is only someone in authority has the power to remove someone theyve appointed. Weve gone through this time and again. Thats the reason why the librarian didnt have anything done to her is because the mayor has the power. Only the appointing authority can remove a commissioner that theyve appointed. Thats how we ended up with mel murphy at the port board, even though the board of supervisors didnt vote unanimously for him. The president of the airport commission, who violated criminal laws trying to get a nephew appointed to a position at the airport. Nothing is done, so if you are going to take a look at the Sunshine Ordinance Task force, one of the things that you ought to take a look at is who are the lines of responsibility, and how are things held accountable . Thank you. President keane thank you. Any further Public Comment on that . Thank you. Okay. Is there on item number 11, does anyone wish to have a closed session . Hearing none, well move to discussion and possible action on items for future meetings. We had a fair amount of discussion of that already. Does anyone have anything further to add to that . Initial opportunity for Public Comment on matters appearing or not appearing on agenda. Pursuant to Ethics Commission bylaws, article 8, section 2. Commissioners, ray hart, spec tor San Francisco open government. Sunshine Ordinance Task force ordinary determination in file number 16116, ray hart v. Commissioner quentin kopp and the Ethics Commission. Findings of law and conclusions of law. Based on the testimony and evidence presented the Sunshine Ordinance Task force found that commissioner quentin kopp and the Ethics Commission violated the sunshine Ordinance Section 67. 15. If a member of a commission wishes to unlawfully interrupt a member of the public, thats okay with you. Commissioner kopp did it, commissioner keane endorsed it, and the rest of you sat silent. But when a member of the public speaks out of turn, that is he thats a nono. What hypocrites you are. You would use the rules to maintain order because you dont like whats being said or you dont like the way people are saying it, so mr. Keanes comment last time about mr. Harts we had a democratic process, why dont you respect it, was b. S. It wasnt a democratic process, it was a show trial, a show hearing. It was a joke. Particularly hypocritical was chair keanes comments last time that i respect the democratic process. Frankly, i take quentin kopps referral to me as quote, that person, unquote, a badge of honor. Isnt it ironic that it comes from a person who has shown himself to be without honor . I mentioned the fact that under oath at the rules Committee Hearing for his nomination supervisor fewer asked commissioner kopp whether he would enforce laws with which he did not agree, and he assured her that he would. So whats with the sunshine ordinance . He doesnt like it so he wants to get rid of the Sunshine Task force and the ordinance, and to heck with it. So theres a vacuum there. Thats fine with him because all he wants it so get rid of it because it took him and called him on the carpet. So same thing the board of supervisors did when they found against them, they left four seats vacant for two years so that every person who went before the task force had to either get a six out of seven or six out of six vote to get a finding. And then, you portray it as being conflicting decisions. Thats bull. President keane well, ill entertain a motion to adjourn. Commissioner kopp so moved. Commissioner chiu second. President keane all those in favor . We are adjourned.
