finally, have filled the educator position and so last week, the new person started and we are going to the training for that person and additionally we did offer the open auditor for someone who accepted it and we will have someone else on board and so then next we have an open investigator position and so we will start working on that and the other highlight is that we finished with all of the various departments that handles all of the on-line filing and that final approval. that comes through just today and on the mind of the different agency and so that contract has been extended for five years which is a good thing. >> and under the record

requests, john, you mentioned that there is an increase on the public record requests and what do you account for that? is that just seasonal? >> it is really hard to predict when they will come and when they will not. we have one record request last week that took two staffers, the better part of three days. to fill in. and then and then we had a second record request. and in the previous weeks. anda say that it is seasonal, and it is just, there are so many different motivating factors behind them. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> mr. saint croix, willing terms of the file comparable to the terms that we had with them previously and i know that we previously gotten a good deal from them. and for the first time, since we have had the contract the actual dollar amount of the

contract has increased and i think that the file has held it down low because we are san francisco is the anchor tenant and i think that after 6 years, the costs have increased, and but we ammortized it over the life of the contract. and additionally we still have in place the agreements that there is a certain amount processing that they will do to create the forms for us as we develop the new needs and again this is the kind of thing that they will normally charge the other entities for but we are san francisco tends to be ahead in moving toward on-line filing of documents that other places don't, and so once we have our system for example, form 700 up and running that is a process where they can go and then market to others. and so there is a good benefit for us and the people, and in this contract. it is a very good one.

just one other comment that i have and i see under the revenue report we budgeted $100,000 for the year and last year if my memory may be off and we hit that goal and exceeded it. >> by more than 25 percent. >> yeah, i thought that this was great and kind of divided it out by quaut and her generally a quarter. >> and i see that we have nine and that is comparable to what happens year off year where you are slow going and it builds up over time. >> yes, it was the first quarter of the calendar year because a great many of the finds and not finds but excuse me, the fees and stuff that are due annually will come in and there is always a big bump there and additionally, a lot of the late filings and everything, that happened during the election cycle which we are in now and the election in november and so the processing late fees and late fines will happen after the election is over.

>> thank you. >> and i also wanted to echo the commissioner renne and thank the staff and you mr. saint croix for the hard work reflected in the report and not just in putting it together but the actual work that was accomplished in the last fiscal year, thank you. >> any public comment the executive director's report. >> commissioners, ray hartz, director of san francisco open government and i am only to comment on section 7 and 10 of this report. the first section, number 7, discusses the filing of form 700. and some focus needs to be placed on the fact that the filing of such reports are done under the penalty of perjury, the city librarian failed to figure that out. and he also didn't seem to understand that finding such a statement is perjury, even when it is not done in front of the public official under oath. and i have to believe that

someone as intelligent does not understand those matters and there must be many more city employees who do not understand, and potentially a lot of other were filing and complaints with the ftpc against the members. >> and it is the same as mr. herrera in similar amounts. >> in section ten is says that due to the records involved. and it has been side tracked from the regular duties end quote, under the sunshine ordinance and the san francisco public records act. and responding to public records requests, they are among the regular duties of every city employees. this mistakingly represents this as something that they are being taken away from their

duties. it is part of their duty and any city employee who is asked for a record is a requirement and part of their job duties to provide a job response. and putting this in a report saying that they are taken away from the regular duties it is simply a ploy and the record request to something and it is a legitimate legal request from a citizen of san francisco. and the control and the supervision or a record and not getting it. and it is my own experience after chasing him for two solid years and going through the city attorney's office and a petition that the supervisor of records to continue to records and those were the very records used to find him in violation

of the regulations. and i did not blame him. and i would lie about the existence which he did. and i even denied, answering whether they did exist or not, when they responded or the company requestor had a legal document saying that you should have it signed by the respondent. >> agenda item 6, items for future meetings, do the commissioners have any suggestions as to items that they would like to see on the agenda for the meetings in

november? or subsequent there to? >> mr. heart you are the only mefm of the public, do you have a suggestion or items that we should put on the agenda. >> i do, ray hartz, director of san francisco open government, i think that this body needs to acknowledge that in your charter it says that you are responsible to a degree for the sunshine ordinance and its implementation and enforcement. and yet in every single document, i see coming out of this body, you just, you fail to address it at all. and in the civil grand jury report, the sleeping watch dog that was mentioned by the civil grand jury. and you simply dismissed that with the typical response to civil grand jury reports of thank you very much for all of the time that you put into this and how much that we appreciate all of this hard work and then proceed to disagree with everything that they say. deny what they say and say that

it is wrong and say that they don't understand and anything but accepting it. feedback, is the breakfast of champions that is something that ken blancardsaid, and anybody and any organization or individual or group of people who cannot accept the feedback and admit to the fact that occasionally they are not doing something that they should be doing, is willfully ignorant and saint thomas said that willful ignorance of what one ought to know is a mortal sin. the sunshine ordinance, task force hears dozens and dozens of cases each year and they sent you three or four or five and you dismiss every one of them. you take the city's side every single time. only one time, have you ever taken an action and that was to recommend to the mayor that the president of the library commission be removed. and he ignored you.

and so i guess that i can't blame you either, would i not want to take the action if i knew that the only thing that i would get is somebody saying that i am not going to do it. and you don't have any power and you don't have any control, people say that the sunshine task force does not and i will give them this, at least, listen to the citizens of this city and when they find a good case, they will issue a violation and i have 19 of them myself and just try to get them enforced. and you can catch people in a blatant lie and you know the most interesting thing about it, they never have the courage to show up and explain their own actions. and they send some city employees who does not really know what is going on say, here you go on and you defend this illegal action. and poor sue black man at the library commission, the secretary gets stuck defending the actions of gomez and

herrera because they do not have the integrity before a body and say that the reason that i did this is because of this. they send her there and the last time that i watched her, she was physically standing there shaking like a leaf because they were asking her questions that they didn't have answers to. >> i am not sure that i know what the agenda item is that you want us to put on. but if you want to submit some specific agenda item for our consideration, we will certainly consider it. >> i thought that i made it clear, the item would be to have an open public discussion at ethics commission meeting about what you feel this body feels about its obligations under the sunshine ordinance. >> all right, i think that we spelled that out when we set

the new regulations for hearing on sunshine complaints. >> but there are no further items? >> public comment >> i thought that we had finished public comment >> one more. >> and any, and anybody want to move to adjourn and then i will ask for the public comment on that? >> any public comment on that? >> agenda item 7 is general public comment. >> all right. the item 7, is sort of the flip side of two, public comment on the matters appearing or not appearing on the agenda that are within the jurisdiction of the ethics commission. >> ray hartz, san francisco open government and there is that meeting is only about 30 minutes long and i don't feel

particularly impolite to use the second opportunity. you can act like i am here just to be a pick on you and poor us and you know, all of this other, crap which you seem to want to present it as. but i have been watching the open meetings in this city for the last five years, attending meetings in the commission and the arts commission, and the board of supervisors, and the respect that people pay to the public as far as their ability to participate in meetings to make public meeting and to make the public records is ludicris and part that have responsibility falls with you, the city employees know that if they want to withhold the documents from the public because it is going to make them look bad and because no

one in the city especially this commission is going to do a thing about it. and you are going to come up with 150 records and in fact, mr. saint croix had to be defended in the superior court of california and just recently by a lawsuit by allen grossman for withholding records, about the sunshine ordinance, which clearly states, that any communications between the city communications and the matters regarding, open government issues cannot be hidden from the public uppeder the patient, and where the attorney, public privilege and the ruling came out, and it agreed with the argument and i think that reason is that the city attorney instead of being the kind of person who expects the city employees and departments to follow the law wants to allow them to do whatever they want and then wants to advise

the bodies how to avoid giving documents to the public which would expose it. and like i said, i fought with herrera and that man is an intelligent man and i knew that the documents that i was asked that we are asking for and were disposal under the public record's act. and they fought me repeatedly over the public comment. and i have at least eight in finding them in violation of the law because they didn't like what i say because i think that you can understand it because i am pretty clear, but i will say one thing for me, that i can't say that for a lot of people on the boards or commissions, and i will look you in the eye and say that to your face anything and i would not say it behind your back, but my impression is that you sit there and commission and any comments you wait until we are gone and you wait until we are gone to make them.

>> >> item 8, i will hear a motion to ayearn. >> and so moved. >> and second. >> all right. >> comment on that. >> all right. all in favor? >> aye. >> meeting is adjourned. >> hello everyone welcome to tech shop. there's a few seats up here if

someone wants to join us in the front rows. for those of you don't know it's a yup we over a classroom for making equipment were we think this is a great panel so i'll let them into through their introductions. this is a great place to talk about is manufacturing moechtd. we have seen what happened when you give people the skills for design technology. we've having had typing machines and some of the member projects in the back feel free to take a look at those after but i want to tick e kick things off if you want to take a tour of the stop

next door feel free but peer open 7 days a week so take a look at the technology you'll hear about that and we welcome you to the community. i'd like to a turn it it over to mayor ed lee to kickoff the session and i forgot to mention we consider the mayor an official maker he took his first class here he can come back in and make i believe that he can think of (clapping) >> well kuar in little rocky thank you very much. first of all, keri thank you and a staff again for inviting us back to tech shop. i was here last week and i have proof.

what's happening in san francisco and the bay area is incredible. we have a 5.6 point unemployment rate and over 16 hundred technology companies that employ over 46 thousand people and we're on the verge of dlovr relationships we've never had before which recent public-private perspiring i partnership that are exciting and innovative. when you look at what is happening with incubators to the large companies like sales force you'll realize that people want to stay in the european setting particularly in the bay area and have the rich culture but they want to create the next generation of talent. those companies started here because there was extreme transplant that called

themselves platform engineers and others that would help great companies like twitter start up and now fits our job to use this innovative talent it to make sure we i yeast generations of that talent and for any to having is the best give to have ingrown talent. and that's why i want to begin because this little model it's the first of an elaborate propriety but it's my first sample. i have to tell you the story 4 kids middle age kids in 6 and 7 and 8th grade taught me how to make that. and in 15 to 20 minutes i went

on the xhurpz and they helped me to drag down the icons i had to create some with dimensional talent and they taught me we designed it and a 3-ds eed on it on the computer i had four students teach me then we put it to the 3-d printers. and it began to print out. if you don't see it from where you're sitting it says go to state warriors mayor ed lee. talk about the future. this is simply an example of where technology and innovation is taking what we described as the maker manufacturing movement in san francisco that when

designed property typing and all innovations matched together that's itself question we put forgot how do we sustain that flat line and grow it and innovate just to sit on our laurldz twitter is a great company let's just watch them grow but he want to create the talent and then take it to the next generation of those companies. they'll be like the second or third generation there will be thousands of employees here and they see the education institution and local government and policies supporting them and they in turn use their fluoroscopic genus and get

involved like we've annuity other companies that introduced the ipads and training. this is that wonderful circle that i think innovations is going to bring us so we're back here really to ask companies how do we create the talent pool and sustain this employment rate to down further whether their returning veterans or new kids from our public schools how do we get them involved involved. this is a job of the supervisors and mayor and i suggest to you, we can't sit on our laurels. this is the time week to week

we're going to prevent night time ever in the future we talk about a bubble burst if we do the right things will will be clear opportunity to work hard and get those things done. with that, i want to introduce to you, chris anderson has been historically editor and the owner of wire magazine so he knows what's going on in the world of technology but recently he's the ceo of robotics and he's helping us to understand the manufacturing where it take places no longer in the big steel miles by manufacturing is going to take a completely different road and how good

policies not only tax breaks by where zoning is and to find space to match where people are. we're lucky to be in the city we have to do it right things to keep this momentum going. it's critical this time period but we must have those meeting with our technology leader so with that i'd like to introduce chris anderson 3-d robotics (clapping) >> terrific thank you. and thank you for coming. a so as the mayor said this is part of a listening tour that's part of the forum is to help with the policies and the mayor staff about what they should be

doing to advance what we know it is a growing movement. the manufacturing is cool again. things have changed this is not the 1970s or the sort of grinding san mateo task miles. it's digital manufacturing made it to the desktop. and it looks like software but it's in it's innovations side looked like hardware. we're fortunate to have a number of panel itself but it's important to talk about what the future looks like in the bay area to get our questions and

the mayor's staff is going to hopefully take notes. so from the left the founder of other labs and talk about your number one topic for discussion tonight >> the microphones is in front of you. >> my voice is not enough. we're a lab in san francisco we have - we're spinning out a new robotics company using machines and rob both the macro both the. we're doing the awkward projects of bike products. why are we doing it in san francisco it's notes easy.

the reason we're here is for the talent we're not here because of the city wages on schools and children human resources our talent as soon as they have children moves out of the city. but we also i believe strongly that there are two types of things that has the revolution in manufacturing. precision is incredibly cheap to the manufacturing processes look like software. their smokestacks are wrerg so the opportunity is taking the software controls and producing

products in the city. that's a huge opportunity and i'm interested in that as a general manufactures. >> next is the director of the association or organization that represents the growing class of san francisco-based measures. i think >> we started with the existing manufacturers who were in the city were low terence and fast-forward it we have 5 hundred farthest in the city and it's an e go system like many that were sitting at the panel who are younger having the manufacturing adams into their process. we have traditionally what feels

like debar time merchandising and food and beverage manufacturing. i'm interested in two things that are related to new and old school manufacturing. how do we help some of the old manufacturing companies but small personally listed production but their lagging in accepting the newer manufacturing technologies. this doesn't mean we have this markers and hackers and people developing things and the next step how by the we take the commercial viable to the scale whether here or in the u.s. how do we make the entrepreneurs design
