throughout the city and county of san francisco. things have changed, and so have our city codes, which of fallen behind the times. using the internet, access has been expanded greatly. however, when it comes to official notices, the city continues to focus on a pre- internet model, where notices are in tiny print out the back of the newspapers and are standard. -- in the back of newspapers. the city process of publishing public notices. there is the public's ability it to find these notices on the website. we had advanced to something on to the ballot and passed. this means towards a two-year budget process, and also changes

the definition of notice and published, to remove the requirement that notice is published in an additional newspaper. the definitions were to be defined by an ordinance. that never happened. what this does is define published as posting on the city government website, posting on the appropriate department to website in the main branch of the library, which does not disturb other requirements, it just the opposite. it actually adds to our obligation in noticing throw every aspect with meetings need to be noticed. -- needing to be noticed. vizquel quote-unquote official notices -- this will require a

prominent official notices link on their respective home pages. this directs they clerk of the court to work to develop uniform procedures for this modernized noticing policy. i want to thank madam clerk enter office for their significant contribution to the development of this ordinance, and many labor did leaders -- many neighborhood leaders. -- i want to thank madam clerk and her entire office. i had hoped to have introduced this legislation coincidentally and maybe ironically on september 7, but our meeting was cancelled. the september 7 meeting would have not been canceled. we had to cancel the board meeting because a failure to

publish the tiny print notice in the back of the newspaper, which underscored the need for modernizing. there are notices which states, quote, "if you read this notice, please call the following number," and maybe, madam clerk, you can opine. how many phone calls have you received? clerk calvillo: to date, we have received one phone call, which asked that we put our notices up on our website. supervisor mirkarimi so i would say that the time is long overdue for us to upgrade the way the korea inform the public -- the way we inform the public. the frustration is now part of yesteryear. the next, i am submitting a request for legislation

following from a story that took place this past saturday regard the san francisco arboretum, the rescue plan not having met its goal yet. the fee strategy for the arboretum as well as other fees strategies that the city administration are contemplating, i would like to have an industry request to allow park visitors to pay one fee for entrance into some areas, maybe a two-three days passed or good for the week is so people can get there on public transportation. -- maybe a two-day pass. limiting the amount a nonprofit can make from collecting fees. with approval of all contracts, to come to the board under charter, and this would also

require compliance with jobs now in similar work training programs. the rest i will submit. thank you. clerk calvillo: they q, supervisor mirkarimi. mr. president, that includes the roll call introductions. president chiu: ok, we can go to the next item. clerk calvillo: this is public comment for items that are of interest to the public better with in the subject matter jurisdiction of the board, including items being considered today which of not been considered by a board committee and excluding those items which a big considered by a board committee. members of the public to want to adopt -- want a dog to a place on the overhead for dysplasia clearly states such and subsequently remove the document when they want the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. president chiu: first speaker,

[bell] i wish to get your support. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you, next person. >> would it help if the sunshine ordinance was read? do not give money to the foundation, do not accept money from the foundation. when you look at how much philanthropy contributes, we also have to remind ourselves of the damage of the responsibility and accountability has cost, a

cascade of scams and scandals in the san francisco public library. just as examples, there was the private space rental business scandal, another fund scandal, 1000 public records violated. the san francisco bar association once said that the san francisco public library is like the nixon white house. all of those scandals have been limited to situations where responsibility takes a back seat to raising private money. any respect for public benefit is now unquestioned. not only do the philanthropists have any agreement to the city because they would not answer questions about their finances by the board of supervisors, but there are revenue bonds so that

the institution has no accountability for its performance. they are not required to justify it philanthropy, because the reason for philanthropy is to maintain their privileges of class and the barriers to democracy in and of itself. they advertise the money, but the money on the benefits themselves. like other institutions in our society, making embarrassing disclosures. you have guaranteed that all values of public responsibility are meaningless in this dry for private money. -- drive for private money. [bell] president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> thank you, mr. president and supervisors. i sure would like to ♪ take the budget home tonight cannot get any rest until i take

next. >> i was beaten by criminals. today, nobody wants to investigate it. nobody wants to take my complete although that violates state law. we're talking about the police department, the sheriff's department, the commonwealth attorney's office, and others. your culpability rests in protecting these criminals. it was denied in two days without contacting any of the witnesses. the office of citizen complaints also say the police can just do that, and that is ok, and, once again, concluded their investigation without contacting any of the witnesses. i would really like to understand how this totally new class of citizens -- their duty is to enforce the law. since 1856, the united states supreme court has said they are

under no obligation to protect us. i really, really, really would like to see some accountability for these criminals. i deserve accountability. when my request was denied by the city, i sent a request under the sunshine ordinance. having it within two days without contacting any of the witnesses. i still have not been contacted, which violates the sunshine ordinance. there are a great number of issues. i thank you for your time and would be very interested in holding these criminals accountable. think you. -- thank you.
