State law that bans local jurisdictions, general cities from establishing Public Campaign finance systems if they decide to do so. This isnt anything that we would be adopting. We would just go on record with common cause that we agree with them; that this is something that state should do in sb 1107. It takes the restriction off the cities in regards to our jurisdiction for doing things not us, its other cities. Well, other cities as well. Lets talk about some other cities. To the extent that it may affect us, i think we should, this commission should go on record backing sb 1107. So i so move. Do i have a second . Second. I guess the only question im in favor of going on record of our backing it, but its clear that its legislation that does not impact San Francisco. All you are doing is sending a message saying that we think all the cities should be free to set their campaign limitations and restrictions, just as San Francisco does. If that is clear in what we are doing and if its consistent . But as i understand yo inquiry was there is a mayors and board of supervisors committees and the desire that we speak with one voice. So maybe what your motion should be that we advise the other city committees that are responsible for communicating the view of San Francisco on state legislation; that we are urging them to support [ gavel ] good afternoon ladies it. Id adopt that as a and gentlemen, and welcome to friendly amendment. In addition since we have a the regularly scheduled ethics direct request by California Commission meeting for april common cause, very worthy organization in these areas, 25th, 2016. Who have expressed their and i will call the roll, desire to have us as a commissioner andrews. Commission, as the san here. Commissioner keane. Francisco Ethics Commission, here. Commissioner hayon has been excused. And i would like to take this to specifically support sb opportunity to introduce and 1107, so they see value in regards to having us on welcome our newest commissioner, daina chiu, their list of endorsers and i think we should accommodate them who is going to im on that. In addition to advising the other city departments that absolutely certain going to may have direct jurisdiction be a worthy successor to in regards to that, i think commissioner hur and we look we should go on record in forward to working with her. Supporting the measure. I have a question for she is an attorney, was in deputy City Attorney chen. Any restrictions or limitation on the commission the general counsels Office Taking such action as at mckisson, presently not working at the moment, i commissioner keane suggested understand, other than her there is the state body family dutis and i told her that means that we have that coordinates the citys someone that can spend a lot position on pending matters. Of time on Ethics Commission when the city does speak on matters. [laughter ] but were delighted to pending legislation, it have her here, and welcome. Speaks with one voice and one thank you, im delighted agency is not at odds with to be here. Another. All right. I imagine as a practical turning to item no. 2 on the matter, there would not be agenda, which is public any comment on matters appearing but there is this process by which the city or not appearing on the agenda. Ensures that to the extent the city does weighin or any any comments . Commissioners, san city agency does weighin, it does so in a consistent way. Francisco open government, as Everybody Knows about it. Previously stated im filing this committee has public the first of a series of complaints with the meetings where people have a directly with the ethics chance to speak about it as well. Commission as november i went that is the uniformity, i to the Ethics Commission and think is the purpose of that talked to two of your committee. So im not sure of the timing of sb 1107, investigators both of whom actively discouraged me from how filing complaints telling me urgent that is . Obviously there wasnt basis for the that say that is a complaints and that is before they looked into it. The first i have is against factor to take into consideration supervisor farrell and based we have a person from California Common cause. On two from the Sunshine Task force and involves the lawful request for public records helen greigo, california which the supervisor and or common cause. His staff did not respond. They have an obligation to respond in accordance with the requirements of the law this is a lift to change and facts that establish supervisor farrells office failed to respond to the the ban and we shouldnt be banned from doing that as request for records, or to municipalities. As far as timing on the bill appear or send anyone to it has a couple of more appear before the Sunshine Task force for the hearing. Committees to go through. I believe the facts will so we are still active in show his behavior to be knowing and willful and as such support a finding of moving through the process, but i would ask that the sooner we violation of sunshine get your support, the better. Ordinance second, 6734 i could have gavin, our good willful failure is official miscon conduct and also government staffer to send support violations of the information. So i can connect gavin up as he has California Public records act. The City Attorneys office sent a nice, long been communicateing with letter and the very beginning leeann and give you the exact of it they used your very committee its going through. The sooner you can give us definition of what willful your support, the better and i appreciate the fact there is and basically says is a body that makes these official encomforts, where was it now . Willful endorsements, but i want to see as the ethics failure is a failur to discharged duties imposed by the sunshine ordinance. And we have the City Attorney commission, your voice is very much saying what mr. Farrell did needed in battle for the way was unlawful. Our elections are run in bottomline is the Sunshine State and in the country. Thank you. Have you made the same ordinance and the California Public records and brown act request of the board of are treated by many bodis in supervisors and the mayor . Yes, not of the mayor. This city as if they are we have gone to all the some sort of joke and just prior Ethics Commission in to this meeting was the california that have public Small Business administration, financing enacted and asked going through their agenda. There were no agenda as them to join us. So that we valuable agendas available can lift this ban. So its available to everyone. For the public and going but you have gone to our through item by item without board of supervisors . Asking for Public Comment. I waited to the end of the as i understand right now, it was presented to meet and said the sunshine your commission first. So you are ordinance said you are sort of the doorway in. Requires to ask for public i see. Comment on each agenda item thank you. And they treated it like it was a joke. Following up on that, i had to drag this Ethics Commission and five other mr. Groups before the sunshine chair . I think that one of task force before i finally the things that was just got my 150word summaries identified, we would be the placed in minute where they body that would have the most belong in the sunshine knowledge, the most purview relating to this and ordinance and during that whatever time this body and other action the city would take, bodis were basically our voice should be violating my First Amendment persuasive. So i think in rights. That sense, it doesnt if they cant shut you up, appear they try to shut you down. From anything that were stepping on anybodys toes, in terms of the citys [speaker not understood] protocol, or the city i used the expression they didnt like. Speaking as one voice and would be looking for us to thank you input on this . Because this thank you any other is what we do. So i would Public Comment . Urge the motion. My name is helen greico before i call on the vote, i call for Public Comment limited to just commissioner with California Common keanes motion, not to the overall topic. Requesting your support for just to commissioner keanes sb 107, if you have any motion. Bob planthold and i questions, im available. Thank you. Support it. Thank you. Im a veteran of the citys any others . State Legislation Committee and i want to clarify the process issue you are getting involved in, the state there are things like Legislation Committee is buildings, and construction supposedly to consider legislation that affects San Francisco. This is one of the but it also instructs the lobbyists on the official requirements to keep us city position. There have been occasions that city commissions on appraised so workers keep their own took a position on state legislation. They dont go to the state working. I have been going to the Legislation Committee, but building and contracts and i xyz commission supports or have been [speaker not understood] contrary, okay . Opposes something. They dont have a staff of their own and you have to find staff to do something had blanked it all out. For sb 1107. They meet the second wednesday of the month. In addition, the way i learned be stronger and make sure it wont happen politics works in sacramento, even if again. A bill does not get out by i went over and over and the time the budget is over. So i think that to recommended, it still can be brought back to life in august. Im not suggesting delay. Come to realize im suggesting that even if [speaker not understood] you dont hear good news about sb 1107, it still thank you. Could be dormant and resuscitated. Good evening, david pill so the idea of moving ahead to support it is worthwhile. At the same time, pahl speaking as an individual and i just wanted commissioner, and ms. To call attention to a pelham, all of you folks i have a lot of experience with the state longterm City Employee i understand is not well. Legislation committee and up carla johnson, who most in sacramento, so give me a recently was the director of call and i will tell you the Mayors Office on more details about how to get on disability, before that spent the agenda for the state many years at the department of building inspection, Legislation Committee, but if apparently is very ill. They fail to support it, you have got to worry what and she absolutely reflects effect that would have on the bill all the good things that we if the city says nah, were want in City Employees. Not going to go for that . Honesty, integrity, thoughtfulness, caring and and my thoughts and wishs are with now you could Say Something her and i wish her the best on your own and leave it at that. Keep that in mind and i hope and hope she can pull through you do do this and i would this most difficult time for her. Say move ahead. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. David pilpel again, speaking as an individual. Hello. Bob is not the only one who has been to those meetings. Welcome to the new i, too, they had a meeting scheduled last week which commissioner, ms. Schmid, was canceled and their next regular meeting is wednesday, may 11th. I forget the code section that may be admin code 7. 3, somewhere in there, but it friends of ethics. Lays out what the process is for the city taking a on the whistleblower it would be helpful for us to know position on state what is going to happen to the board of supervisors legislation and explicitly or implicitly and who is going to carry suggests that officers of the hearings . If we could get city, boards and commissions, cant take positions on their own. That the only two ways that Public Information on, that i would appreciate it. The city takes positions on thank you. Thank you. Legislation are either through that body, or if they are not meeting, the board of hi, before i get supervisors can by, i think resolution, take a position started, can we make sure that the on state legislation. So i overhead projector is would urge that you do take working . The amendment and state that this Commission Urges the great. State Legislation Commission hello my name is michael, committee, excuse me, to and im here representing support sb 1107 and that you government access project. I want to show this item on not on your own support it. I think that is actually the overhead. Youll see that this was a beyond the powers and duties meeting in october, at the of this commission. Mayors office, office of the way they work each bill the mayor. Its a signin sheet for is either presented by the department and there is a october 1st, 2015 meeting. Little form and writeup. Its on their website at the list of attendees, if you could zoom in a bit here . Where my finger is, please . Youll see that the name is willie brown. Printed his name, and then sf. Gov. Org and onepager what in it does would be effective why the city should take a the slot for organization, position, et cetera . And thank you very much, there things usually just get is Willie Browns name. Routinely supported there as this is the slot for the departments make requests. Other commissions that have organization. He was representing. A if you could come back to me larger legislative agenda for the year, the mta and puc in please, i would appreciate it. I filed a complaint with the particular bring it to the Sunshine Ordinance Task board or commission at the force regarding willie brown not beginning of the year and signing in as he was either talk about specific supposed to as all other members of bills or ideas to support or oppose in sacramento. That is something that you might consider doing next year, if the entourage at that we get the policy staff meeting signed in. My complaint was filed with if there are particular the Ethics Commission on bills or ideas that we want to thursday, february 25th. Support or oppose there . But i hope that helps that was two months ago. I have since then received a explain that process a little bit. So i do support taking this confirmation notice from a action, but with that katherine argumento, say thating this matter is currently under review by particular phraseology, that commission staff. Wouldnt urge another city body to take that action and today, i emailed her, for i will comment later on rest of the policy agenda. Thank you. Thank you. An any other comment on this update and she got back to specific motion . Me and its being reviewed. Do you want to get serious about handling complaints from the public when we see chair, mr. Marsteller a potential ethics at the Mayors Office and willie former chair and coordinator brown is leaving it blank . Back in the 90s through 2000. I did want to say for sb why is it two months later the only responses i have 1107, i would think that you received from the Ethics Commission saying the matter would certainly should feel is under review . I really that you have the right to say whatever you want. Dont want to file i view you more as a city complaints and then have it go nowhere. Agency and not as a or to have you come back and department. And i think the voters made say oh, we have to protect that clear in your charter. The privacy of the so i think you can certainly individuals involved. Well, speak on something as simple the individuals involved may as this. Be making big ethics because you are in a sense the grand ol man of public violations. Im here today to say to you, get on it. Financing in california. So when we file complaints, get im sure that the committees in the senate and assembly to investigating them. Would be interested in dont make a member of the hearing how Public Financing has worked in San Francisco . Public wait two months for some sort of action, if you are not going to move on it, and we have great assets and let me know. If you are going to move on it, move on it already. Current reports issued every year and could put together two months is intolerable. A nice presentation for the i presented the evidence and committee pretty quickly and simply, i think. The Ethics Commission has to show that this is not a not moved on it. I am saying to everyone threat to the state and that watching this before you file a complaint think it will go this should work very well. Nowhere. You have to address this i think the times are moving in this direction with the issue of wait too long to look at these matters. Flow of money flooding the thank you. State and all politics nationally. So i would recommend that you just simply send a report of your experience with pf to give im Bob Planthold and the committee insight as to for the benefit of new how this would work at the commissioner im a past locallevel. Thank you. Ethics commissioner and i dont know that im going to last through the meeting hello, my name is sylvia just because you have got multiple detailed issues to deal with. So i wanted to talk now about item 6. Johnson and i think you just i wanted to encourage you to continue your attempts at need enforcement and collection [speaker not understood] regarding supervisor farrell. Please do not back down. Please dont accept
