2:25 pm
partner with me and the district and it's needed and i think this will be an incredible use of this location and i'm willing to overlook that fact and move forward in support of this lease. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor breed. can we take this item, same house, same call. this resolution is adopted. >> item 24 is a campaign regarding lobbying and enhancing training, disclosure and administrative requirements. >> thank you, president chiu. >> thank you mr. chair. colleagues, after many months of work, i'm pleased to ask today for your support for this reform package of ethics and lobbying law and before i go over the details of the legislation and a few additional amendments, i'd like for us to make today -- i want to thank our city attorney dennis for his work on this legislation, and congratulate him for recently securing our
2:26 pm
state's largest municipal settlement. he's shown that we can enforce our lobbying law sxiz want to appreciate the work of his able deputy city attorneys including joshua white and john give ner and ally and fisher who has worked with my office sometime and i want to thank my aid chiu for his work for the better part of the year. during the course of our legislative process, our office has heard from many non profit leaders, attorneys, ethic agent cats, expediters and a retired judge ands and i want to thank everyone for their input and we've made changed based on it and i want to thank supervisor tang and breed for their work. we know our city has descent lobbying laws and the most details we have come across in our research but we know we can do better. during my time on the board, i'm glad to have passes ethics that have lobbying
2:27 pm
activity and required electronic filing of campaign states and update our interest code. in my second term, i have a better sense of how influence impacts the decisions in our 8,000,027,000 employee government and we hear from con -- we hear from constituents. this will have confidence in our local government. shining a brighter light will lead to better decisions by city officials. our proposals effect certain activities, such as lobbying and permanent expedite, i want to be clear that we're not saying that these activities can't occur, but we want to make sure the public knows when it occurs. sunshine is said to be the best of [inaudible]. i want to walk-through the major previsions in our legislation. first our legislation expands the
2:28 pm
definition of a lobbyist. distinguishes between outside consultants and employees. house lobbies would qualify as lobbyist if they have more than five lobbyist. and they have more - one or more contacts. these changes move away from trying to figure out if someone has been paid as a lobby yift. this eliminates the attorney -- but nothing in the ordinance would be construed as an attempt to regulate the practice of law. two those of us who worked on this legislation, this is as narrow as an attorney exemption we could craft. those who counts as a lobbyist is officials including housing authority commissioners, and success agents to redevelopment and it provides for a non profit exemption for smaller 501 c 3
2:29 pm
and this came after many meetings of non profit agencies and none who are registered under lobbyist under our existing legislation. they do have limitations under federal tax law. our reform package has a duty to cooperate in investigations and in part based on recent enforcement, we hold employees liable for the contact of lobbyists acting on their behalf. we have training to have record keepings and -- record keeping and any unfiled disclosure is a file of our loss and city officials who fail to file form 700 and requires a public campaign. i want to go into more detail into the innovative aspects. we have wondered sometimes as
2:30 pm
have the public about the financial incentives of some non profits that send us e-mails or testify on behalf of large development projects. to answer this question, the ordinance includes a new disclosure requirement for developers of major projects who would be required to disclose donations of $5,000 or more to non profits that contact the city. i want to thank supervisor breed for her friendly amendments to make it clear. for the first time after many attempts, this is permanent expediters but adding additional transparency of the work the permit expediters do. we know that over the years, there have been clowns, over the permit expediting world, fbi investigations, concerns of inappropriate influence. and what i hope to do in this legislation is to make it clear and transparent the work that is be
