SFGTV Port Commission 32216 March 29, 2016

Think maybe that is something ms. Pelham maybe that is something raised addressed by regulation we do get this implemented but sounds like you may have a suggestion. Mr. Pilpal question about the different phrasing under the section 41 hundred is certainly language that needs to evolve a definition to distinguish behind that language in 41 hundred start on line 17 well find that the charter protects those including contractors, operating within the scope of a contract so the protection is to those operating within the scope of a contract with the city and county then when you read section one 05 this speaks to improper government activity so it uses the phrase with regards to the contracts when someone files a complaint alleging improper activity by somebody use the language operating employer contractors operating pursuant to the city and county uses instead of operating within the scroll but pursuant to the contractor presumably didnt involve improper government activity it could be lost and tweaked as we go forward but a conscious decision those were different things. Mr. Pilpal i feel better i asked the same question. How about thensertion of word employee. Again, i should defer to the executive director but starting to get word i didnt you have employee right before the contractor and so you know hopefully that is something we can address by regulation i will agree that is the intent as i understood to include the individual that work as a contractor or work for the employee or employer that is a xrashth not just the entity themselves. Ill call the question all in favor, say i. I. Opposed . That motion carries. Unanimously. All right. Turning to item number 6. Item 7. Item 7 discussion and possible action on items for future meeting are there any suggestions . Commissioner keane commissioner chair some hopefully, we will recall that last year you appointed me as a committee of one to try and rewrite prop j that was pretty much taken out by the board of supervisors pursuant to that we comp came out with one ballot for last year and prop c went i have with the help of the friends of ethics and the grand jury a proposed draft of restoration of prop j that i will be submitting to you mr. Chair just by mail by email within the next few days with copies it ms. Pelham and the City Attorney for vetting to begin the process it is urban likely given what we saw last year that since there is so much involved well be able to do anything for the ballot this year if possible it is unlikely i want to get that process started that has been rewritten to ill be send that to the 3 of you one the next week or so and so hopefully at some point well get the vetting of that. I want to thank the friends of ethics and also the members of civil grand jury for the help on that they were great in terms of theyre the writing of it and also in particular any other suggestions for additions to the agenda . Public comment or suggestions yes. Charley our friends of ethics ill recommend that you might want to put the audit item on the agenda whether that is next month or the months after whatever the time it facilities for the staff to develop some thoughts and some proposals maybe to bring forward i really would at this point look for public hearing on that topic to see where the public thinks the commission could be more robust in its approach where it needs to be more robust in its approach and i would like to recommend at some point look at when you plaza plaza place the measure on the ballot anything we place on the ballot should have an issuance off finding to show how that measurer up and how we can, in fact, meet the specifications as addressed by the law that is that it has a further the purposes of the act because heretofore many of the items that we taken to the ballots or taken to the board under super majority were less on and on the effects of the acts they were repeatedly sections of the law and now were clean power a little bit with prop c and maybe prop j and those are not the only problems weve had so there needs to be finding when you modify the c or any of the other ethics laws regarding conflict of interest where we have to demonstrate how it does, in fact, further the purposes of the act that is very important. Thank you. Commissioners ray hart for San Francisco open government and i agree with the prior speaker that is the perfect opportunity to put up or shut up you have the procedures of fair notice and so put it on the agendas for the next time consideration as to whether a special audit to be ordered by mayor Ed Lee Ed Lee for mayor of 2015 on as acted as a special audit now you said you know either nothing or you sat there and all those things heres a Perfect Place to put that not two surprisingly this is the only item i approved gives an opportunity underlined for any member of the commission to place the items on the agenda for consideration i do wonder if someone will choose to exercise the opportunity and whether they will be allowed to place the item other than the agenda or youll vote not to do it as far as the public is able to understand the agenda are formatted in square feet by the chair and staff in some cases to hide the cases from the public for my experience the leadership of the Ethics Commission operates outside of the public view we hear on this what the executive director cares to tell us and we never hear anything bad there are never any problems nothing needs to be fixed everything is fine and end of story whether the members of this commission individually or collectively choose to dare quote bite the hand that feeds them unquote only time will tell microfilm i think of the history of this commission to indicate along with the probability this will happen you are here to protect the city against us you are here to energy them to do whatever we want with regards to the law and the recollections to fairness and to quality to anything and the reason i say that you never do anything otherwise and let them off the hook even after you went through what you did this donor mat with the supervisor farrell what it comes down to authorize the chair to go back and make a back room diesel e deal bans god, only knows what the public still didnt know why it was on that agenda you know that. Thank you dipped the next is the information of enlightenments that occurs to me whether the matter and the mark farrell matter that came up there hadnt been any closed sessions in the last few months to discuss pend complaints and i seem to recall im not sure there were matters that were held over at the end of last year pending the staffer transition so ill thinking there maybe pending complaints that maybe processed or presented in open or possibly closed session that would be in his to reduce the backlog so in terms of items for future agenda that there are scompliement items to be scheduled that would or will be good and discussion of overhauling the Enforcement Program with different letters to complainants notifying them something is received and i thought that was a package that the acting director had but not to the point of getting out there i hope that comes to you in the time the next few meetings i think that would be to the good unfortunately might be a reviewer e r referral from the task force well see ill count those at comments on the next item which is the executive directors report. Just a couple of brief highlights the report goes into budget and staff reach and other activities ongoing the office we have been continued to provide information to the Mayors Office about the budget requests we are present this friday before the commission on the department of technology about the Electronic Filing project weve submitted a request for and two helpful notes a 3 additional as needed part time Staff Resources coming on board hopefully within the next week individuals that share quantity of two ftes because the election seen e.

Embraced by the job shes moved into this position seem lessly so well and picking up on American People enormous number of things much from her experience in los angeles shes someone that is part of fabric of doing this job so well, that im just feel we are fortunate i want to emphasize that on top of that her report that youre pretty impressive thank you. Thank you. Public comment. You had our chance mr. Mr. Pilpal. Youll get us in big trouble. You talked about the executive directors report. I registered or referenced in place for future agendas that recent clever of me. Youre a good lawyer. Im not a lawyer. You should be. Ill try to be brief dipped as an individual two items again related to future items their used to be a chart we see ever foe months it deciphers from the indicator and policy issues and all that could be made a regularly attachment then ill not to have it is a this well know what is the out months and the other points on the revenues report that shows that the receptors are way above the budgeted amount i think that money into goes 0 both the general fund but the with Mayors Office to recapture that as needed staff or on the initiative for the rest of the purposes it would be nice for whatever reason well have more lobbyist recorded and it would be nice if those resources are small the grand scheme for the city but large for the commission if it could help with the staffing needs thanks. Thank you. Commissioners ray hart for San Francisco open government since a couple of things were bought up i feel theyre fair game commissioners comments to the executive director what a great job what a until i try to Start Talking with her and she fails to get back but to fail to let you know she needs for time they cant be taken at her word that is a basic fault with anyone that is in office of public trust i will comment on two items on the executive directors report the first item 5 investigation of Enforcement Program that almost always shows zero sunshine ordinance compliments i have 24 denominators finding people violated any freedom and not one only the one you managed to hold awhile i was out of the state that was contrived by your staff it couldnt have accidently happened they announced it the day i left and held the hearing a day before i getting got back you have no pride and not say a word i intend that the number of sunshine ordinance complaints will grow ill turn p them in writing i do not trust the executive director to not buyer them and the staff two of the inspectors and these are the people im popped to trust to investigate the complaint in an impartial way and the second item 7 the bureaucracy of diligent revenue account youre showing the willingness to take people to court for 5 thousand dollars and mark farrell for supervisor 2010 owing more than one and 90,000 dealing that is a matter avenue backroom deal that Ethics Commission authorized commissioner renne to deal with that unquote using the power combrufd you by san franciscans you have decided to abuse that power by going after the little fish and please be advised the ringing of and use of cell phones, kate the whales it is little surprises that few people attend those it is nauseating to watch the abuse of power if you think that tonight is an exception stand by in a few summaries there the record and two or three years i can point out i told him some go that i am moral and unlawful and illegal they ignored it thank you. Thank you for speaking immediately when that my time rotundas out youre the most unfair person have to have the appearance of being fair you dont even try it is a big joke. Next item is approval of the minutes draft minutes for january 25th, 2016, and february 19, 2016, commissioners have any comments or suggested changes. Move approval. Second. Any Public Comment . This Public Comment on, on the fact those minutes our 0 january 25th meeting the agenda item was not clear to the members of committee and as ive said before it is supposed to be clear to the public of average twinkies or could be complicated having a bunch of documents failing to say what those documents are on there is outrage over members found it was unacceptable in i like to hide things to do it in a way that people wont know what is considered and very frankly, i think that it goes down to the leadership is why he spoke against the commissioner been restate he wants to side thing the executive director want to do things behind even though scenes and hide from the public i think the reason commissioner hur is in office hes the biggest sneak of all benedict. Huh . Benedict. Benedict arnold works for me but the bottom line is im gotten sick of it and gotten disappointed by the fact when i first started to come to the meeting there were 50 or 60 people now, maybe a dozen it is because thankful give up they dont build you have any intention to make anything or support it you can smile commissioner hur but you can that is the truth and you dont say anything a back it is true you can look at our record what has this body done to make that city a better place nothing you try to make it look that way you write the history well, no more i have 12 hundred words in our anybodys probably more than you give me me for power than any of you have i would be pubically embassy want to would this term to get something meaningful done rather than having two or three terms and get nothing done make in change for the better rerearranging chairs on the deck of the titanic and simply rewrite the rules you know in our heart and soul you have absolutely no ability or willingly njs or integrity to enforce i cant think avenue simply person who is punished by you in all the time ive been coming here that would have any effect on city government.
