homework and saying, what is a charitable organizations that supervisor x, is closely involved with. and i am going to... i am going to make the contributions to it. >> there is not any requirement >> no. it is if you are... and i believe that the state is kind of looking at this, where and i don't know how far along it is, where anyone doing business with the city and makes a contribution in excess of $5,000 will have to report them as a matter of course. >> regardless of whether anyone urged them to do it. >> right. >> otherwise, at this time, it is the elected official who has to made the official report. >> right. >> and someone did the business for staoet and once the

community campaigned to create public support for a issue that may be before the voters. that funding or that campaign, is not reported? >> that is right. >> and that is kind of what this proposal will tend to capture. >> all right, so that aspect, does that cover for example, an organization that has a project, you know, and has a big campaign, and that is endorsed by an elected official. does that count? i mean, elected officials endorse all kinds of programs and projects all of the time. >> i think that it could, if they were using an elected officials in premature to add legitimatecy in the appeal to the public. >> you mean if they used it for example in printed material? >> yeah. >> or the media campaign. >> yeah.

let's say that we are doing a mailer to say right to the board of supervisor and tell them not to cut them for the fire cuts keep them all open. >> maybe the firefighters union will do something like that. and they would say, you know, supervisors you are actually spear heading a movement to help us in gaining the funding that we need. please write or call the board right away. and that reporting would be captured whether or not the supervisor's names were attached to it or not. and you know, it is kind of that would not be it is not associated with like a ballot measure or something like that, so there is actually no political reporting attached to this. >> i see. >> does that answer your question? >> i think that it does. basically, the same thing is endorsed. and i was thinking more fire house number 9 and they and

there is a particular initiative or some ballot measure that is endorsed by these candidates already. and then you list that or those candidates who have endorsed this particular initiative to the fire house number nine and that will fall within this as well. >> yes. >> it gets tricky in the range before an election, anything that contains the candidate's names kind of becomes election material and therefore will be regulated differently. and i think that a good example and i hope that i, construct this correctly there was a prop f about fire houses. before it came into existence, there was a campaign to get the board not to put it on the ballot and not to create a ballot measure and so the spin on this was to put up i think

billboards and send out mailings to tell the public and the board of supervisors that we don't want, the funding cuts and then it looks like it was coming any way and a ballot measure came to rescind those cuts. but before that point it would have been expenditure lobbying and it was not associated with the candidate or a ballot measure. >> if is there an initiative on the ballot, and some individual wants to finance global calls, just does he or she have to report the fact that global calls that going to say vote for this initiative n >> they will have to report it as independent expenditures. >> right. >> in which case it is campaign finance reporting and that is

already captured >> so at this time what is necessary, is to actually write the language that could be incorporated into the legislation at the board of supervisors. >> if you like this direction, you know, we just need to indicate to ask and go ahead and go forward and draw up the proper legislation and we will give it back to you for the approval when it is drafted and send it over to the board. we don't need a formal approval. >> i wanted to hear from the other commissions that the preponderance after mr. bush brought this to our attention and believed that it was the tip of the iceberg and we find off an investigation and some research that it is eight over

three years, and i wanted to hear from the other commissioners does it have bearing on what we are getting ready to move forward with? one way or another? >> the subject and that there was no public comment. and that therefore, absent it does not appear to be a need under the present reporting requirements. and some someone wants to bring it back, i would... >> and i don't know why we want

the staff to fuel the problem that the public apparently is not concerned about. >> and then we will have an additional opportunity to discuss this issue when the language comes back to us at the next meeting. >> so that is... and do i want us to go forward. >> i think that we do. >> absolutely. i think that we all agree with that. >> we are going to do that and we don't need any formal action. >> very good. >> let's look at the minutes, are there any additions or corrections? >> that was your first meeting with commissioner andrews? >> indeed it was. >> and my name is spelled right. so that is great. >> that is the...

>> thank you. >> and that is what is essential. >> the first and the last. >> and i make a motion. second. >> approve the minutes. >> any public comment? >> for the minutes? >> hearing none, and all in favor of approving the minutes? >> aye. >> the minutes stand approved. and we want to consider the executive director's report. >> okay. >> so, the mayor has not signed it yet. so we are still not through the woods if you will, but the indications are good. so this bodes very well for us,

and the delay in hiring and education out reach coordinator continues, and because the city won't let us hire someone until they have an approved list. the list i am told now exists. and it will be distributed to us in the very near future and so we have been recruiting for that. >> so we can only recruit from the list? >> right. and we had an auditer retire and until that person has exhausted their vacation we can't begin to look for a replacement and so that is coming up and so this funding will allow us to hire another investigator. and which will be good. so we will be able to do the current investigators that are doing exceptionally good work and this will allow them to concentrate on fewer cases at a time and bring in the resolution and a satisfaction. and that is actually very, very

good news and that is my own real highlight and the other thing that i would just point out is, 15 non-filers were referred to the fppc of the standing of economic interest. and this is out of six or 700 filers. and normally, we have 60 or 70 non-filers a year and so we have done a good job this year in spite of the responsibilities of transferred from one year from one staff to the other and so i am actually well pleased and so i wanted to point that out to you, if you have any questions i will be happy to answer those. >> commissioners? any questions? >> i just wanted to if you can hear from mr. st. croix, a caseload, do you have an optimum kind of caseload that you would be going for i suspect for this moment that it

is higher that you prefer it to be. >> i don't have an actual number because we don't have any control over that. the number of cases divided by the number of staff, tempered with the with the case. and three is well and probably five or six, you move forward and you have to wait to move forward and several of our investigations are pending audits and they move at a different pace and at any given time we have 30 to 50 cases and the number of cases come in at a rate and a lot of them are dismissals and you are going to see many of those. for various reasons, mostly of

non-jurisdiction and so i could not ideally what it is because it we do not fit if an ideal mold. >> okay. >> and am i glad to hear that. >> and any items for future meetings? >> public comment on the ada report? >> public comment on the executive director's report? >> hearing none, we will move on to any propose td items for the future meetings? >> okay. >> and add to at again agenda. >> is there any public comment on matters appearing or not appearing on the agenda tonight? >> we appreciate those of you who were here, to provide the public comment, thank you. and that concludes... >> the meeting is adjourned. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye.

>> aye. >> that adjourns the meeting of >> that adjourns the meeting of the ethic's commission.

a very special day i have never worked with you and it has been a pleasure and it has been a pleasure. and so happy birthday. [ applause ] >> do you have a few words to say. >> that is what i think of my birthday. >> thank you so much, and we do appreciate you. >> approval of the minutes july 9, 2013, is there a motion >> so moved. >> second. >> is there a second. >> all right s there a public comment on the minutes? >> all right. there will be no public comment on the minutes, all say by saying aye? >> aye. >> minutes are approved and we turn to general comments and item four. first off is clark, friends, welcome back. an n >> thank you very much, i am a resident of san francisco and vice president of (inaudible)

and the volunteer legal coordinator and i am here to remind you that three more weeks and commissioner we have wonderful birthday parties especially in the evening when the cake comes out and lights go off and everybody sings happy birthday. so come to camp may fair. my last week is the last week of being volunteer leader and if you ever made it there yet come there and see me, we have the social hour that welcome the people and people that really want to get together and finally i want to show you this is this year's t-shirts, this is what they look like. and these are the kids ones and they are selling out fast and there are different colors and they are orange and green and we have beautiful azalia t-shirts too. the very final thing is through the amazement and i don't know who did this, but the camp was in the u.s. news report, u.s.

news today and just recently and for those of you who have been up to camp may fair or who haven't, does that not look like camp may fair that was the picture in the usa news, and so i brought you copies so i thought that you enjoy finding out what is being said nationally about the camps and camp may fair and thank you again to all of the staff and to you, and for all of your help and support. and don't forget, camp has three more weeks to go. >> thank you so much for all of the work that you and the volunteers do. any other public comments for item four? >> none, tech communications item number five? any questions or response. >> yes, i have a question on

item c. the sewer i see that last year we inspected 130 miles and what did we propose last year to do? >> 79. >> what was the question again commissioner? >> i said what was or what did we propose last year to do for the miles inspected for the sewers? i see that we did 130. >> yes, we have been trying to get to 150 every year. so with the game plan and that would be the inspection part and then the other piece would be 15 miles of replacement. >> so my question is what was proposed last year? >> could i jump in? >> our plan was that we wanted the sewer for 150 miles so that we can identify the conditions and prioritize them and so, one of the big things that we are doing and especially waste water is to inspect our assets

so therefore we can prioritize them before they are damaged out of 130, we shuffled them in and prioritized them. and so, we could give you based off of the inspection, our priorityization report. and we could include that. >> don't we in the budget say that we propose to do so many miles of inspection. >> that is correct and we have been trying to get to 150 every year and if you actually look back on several years, some years we did more, but what happened is when we get into the trouble areas, and you know we actually have to do less because we have to clean right in front of it. so it requires more. >> i totally understand what you are saying but you still have not answered my question. what did we propose in our budget last fiscal year. >> we propose 150 for every year for the last... >> okay. >> for the last several years. >> correct. >> i am looking at the 15, and

14, and we are looking forward to 105. i am not sure exactly if this is something about my staff, but every year for conditional staff to make it work and so we have two things going on and so you have just for the conditional assessment at work and we also do things for other departments other inspections on top of the contracts and we have actually had to pick up quite a bit more, with the paving program. and so there is a lot more work that has to be done today than we were in the past. the pavement program along the line of 800 extra blocks and so this is additional to what we are doing and so that is why you see the difference there, with more mileage that what was proposed. >> so this report is sort of fuzzy is that what you are saying? >> it certainly is from perspective ma'am. >> all right. thank you. >> any other public comments? >> on the communications? >> all right.

there being none, we will move on. >> and other commissioner business? >> i have a resolution before us and commissioner? >> let me move that first of all and then i will speak to it. the state wide agency and the president of the organization moves in a fairly ordered way, that the vice president very typically becomes president of the following year. and there is not usually a lot of need for us to step in and vocalize our support in any way. there is not a need and there is however, an opportunity for us to express support for somebody, who i think is who is a member for the east bay mud and he is obviously in northern

california and has been mud and he has a lot of similarity to our system and a lot of common interests and he is represented of those interests and i think that in a balanced or effective way and so i think that the resolution in support of his nomination is appropriate and i would expect it as president that you would be very accessible and reacceptable to the commission's entry and positions. >> any public comments? >> i would like to second the motion. >> moved by moran and moved by caen. >> aye, opposed? >>. >> report to the general manager, item number seven. >> first item that i would like to bring up is kay fernandez

already the summer is over and the mayor mandated that he would like the city to employ 6,000 youth this summer, of which the pec has stood up and we employed over 500 youth this summer. and so, could you go into some details? thanks. >> sure. >> good afternoon, commissioners, thank you for the opportunity to be here today. and i speaking on behalf of juliet ellis the manager of external affairs to give an update from the may 8th commission where they presented about the youth investments. as he mentioned our investments contribute to the mayor's job and plus initiative and also align with our community benefits policy by providing local youth employment opportunities this summer as part of the commitment to enhance the competitiveness of the young people, and be a good neighbor in the areas that we serve and help us to develop the skills and workforce for

the future, since you heard of lot of this during the may commission update, i am going to provide a brief reminder of the youth employment ad back funding strategy and update you on the learning grants that you approved at the may 8th commission meeting and most of the time allowing you to hear from the youth and the program leaders themselves because they have such a unique perspective and rich stories to share with you. i also want to thank all of the program leaders and the youth who came here today. you can see that we have a full room for this commission meeting, it is an opportunity for them to share with you and also hear and see how our commission works. and then at the end i will come back to wrap up with a few next steps. >> this slide is remainder of the may 8th update. the board of supervisors allocated about 1.4 million

dollars of the two-year budget to invested specifically in youth employment. for the 2012-13 board ad back, we really focused on strategies that could be immediately implemented and therefore we leverage and expanded the existing pec investments in this area and piloted a new non-profit strategy through a grant making process. so for the fiscal year, 13, 14, we hope to incorporate the lessons from this summer and then focus on implementing the sustainable enhancements and impacts for ongoing investments. the majority of our youth investments were focused on leverage and expanding the current programs, this slide shows the list of the programs that are engaging the youth this summer. each were administered in partnership with other city

sister agencies such as the department of public works, the office of economic and workforce development, the department of children, youth and families, the police department and the sheriff's department, as well as the professional services firms that are fulfilling their community benefits commitment with the pec. what was significant in this year's investments is that it included more coordination across the programs that we have been currently investing in. and we also had intentional data collection where the youth served and had surveyed and participated in youth led tours and our waste water treatment facilities and also were conducting part of in-house workshops and we have also determined the way to keep the youth connected after the internship ends so that we can track and work with them through a web portal. and in addition, to expanding

our existing programs we leverage these partnerships with local non-profits and as i mentioned during the may 8th meeting you authorized and approved the staff to administer a pool that distributed up to $150,000 of the board use add back for this year for up to 10 local non-profits and so this allowed us to increase the number of youth and expand the access to opportunities as well as also offer project based opportunities so that we could harass the perspectives and learnings that we could from the youth to learn about the environmental stewardship and give them expose sure to career pathways. several programs are here today to give you a sense of what they learned and the recommendations that they gave us on how they engaged the youth in the communities as we go and out do programs like the south east sewer system improvement program, our water system and drink tap. and it is really exciting to have seen and sat in some of

their sessions, because they have a really different way of looking at it. they are developing as we speak, multimedia materials such as videos, pod casts and presentations that will help us as we do this out reach. following the may 8th commission approval, published the request for proposals for project learning grants that were released in early june and we followed a competitive review process and awarded up to $150,000 to ten local non-profit and leveraging support for 277 additional youth this summer. this is a list of the ten non-profits that we supported. and many of them are here today. and the aphillip randolph institute of san francisco collected the impacts that includes the community ken iter and hunter's point family, and
