that's a first for us in a long time. so i think that's very good news we have a filing period of january 1st through june 30th. i would point out that the training that the f pc did for us we're very grateful that they took the time to come down here and do an all day tracing training with our staff we found it useful. and you can see the director wants to turn this into a picture he felt it would be funny to see this swargs. we're going to be a little bit short on our revenue because of the revenue stream our revenue target is going to be 75

thousand dollars those are my highlights >> questions for the executive director relating to the executive director report? public comment? >> commissioners ray heart director of san francisco open government this is a generic one size fits all fits all nothing more or less each month i intend to go select one item to discuss today, it's item 7. on statements of economic interests. for years city larger than lewis accepted thousands of dollars even if responsibilityable gifts from friends he go forward his fiduciary job expend by the fund from 2000 to 2013 if the public

sees the screen the commissioners are busy doing busy work he did so well enforcing the oversight for the millions of dollars 0 raised by group and year after yes, he pursue go right ahead himself in a quick pro-kwo arrangement he utilized about accepting the gifts and look at it this other way where the if i understand were going he abused his job to withhold public records that uncovers the it's in vision of the brown act and the public records act and the sunshine ordinance. member of the public end up having to do your job it's well, to sit around and use the right text size on a letter and crap

as far as most of the san franciscans they don't care but you have a librarian taking a payoff from a group and letting them raise $60,000 and come before the public and represent he knows where this money went and the bottom line is after two solid years of public document requests it took a year to get a what we needed to get to fine him and he got a good deal 5 thousand dollars a year worth ever hotel trips and he paid a $200 fine sign me up for that if i get caught i'll pay $200 and we f we asked you to look at it

is you wouldn't do it we have to go to sacramento we do your job because you're too intent on co-sponsoring other people. that's exactly what happened when mr. sincroy did it while i was out of the state cover their butts. you can look as disgusted as you want to silence is gotten >> items for future meetings pr any items that the commissioners want to propose for the future agenda. >> without necessarily conceding the merits of some of the argument made tonight i wonder and i'll ask the staff to look at this why we don't when we have these hearings on

probable cause or a strimgs don't identify what the alleged violations are of what the statutory provisions of the code whatever it maybe so that the public would have some awareness ever what the subject matter is of the closed hearings. >> i agree if there's some way to put something general so people have some idea i think that makes sense that's something we should be doing. along those lines at some point i'd like to take up the comments made by those two individuals appeared to have given been given faulty information at

least that's what their allegations is so the question is you know how do we make sure that people who want to run for office are getting the proper information and is it a good idea i thought his idea of a check list it sounded reasonable i don't know how easy or not easy it is to do something like that or if it's respect to what we do >> we talked about looking at the candidates. >> but also do you ever have concerns if people come in personally that all staff knows what to tell him in terms of filing dates and all the forms they all know what they need to tell the candidates. >> yes. >> so those two individuals there's

misunderstanding. >> i don't know but the process is overwhelming for the first time candidates. >> i understand that. there are a number of filing requirements and at any given conversation, you know, small business could think they have everything and i'll tell you that from the form that they referenced is due very early so it's unfortunate it's so early in the process >> because their excellent things to the staff to consider we should take up that for design. >> public comment? >> and i don't know how much more i can be clear the case from the sunshine oral

systematically i'm specifically 62 to have a rehearing. you had a hearing made no effort to determine where i was not here i was a party of interest. and you can shake our head and do all this crap the bottom line if you went into a hearing and they held the hearing without letting you know and simply i'm not talking about sending out the notice i was out of the state and didn't receive notice until i got back are you honestly going to sit there and look at it me and say i wouldn't have a problem with that. the reason i'm saying this during the hearing mr. herrera lied through emphasis teeth said it would take $40,000 for me to be allowed to put a slide on the librarian auditorium he can do

the same thing they send send him a power point presentation and it didn't cost him a penny and, in fact, the sunshine task force especially asked him during the hearing if it's the case. they don't like what i have to say ii think you understand that feeling having they don't want me to use the overlayed projector like the groups they like by the way, i will put up things that are easily disessential i spent 4 years teacher for the state of hawaii i can make a complete presentation and with graphics

i'm killer. that's viewpoint discretion it's a violation of my fichlts and it was based on on mr. herrera's lies to the library commission which they bought with this argument they had to spent $40,000 for the slides up on the screen. now i don't know about you but i'm ticked off the way it was handled i was denied due process. so frankly it was and i think the issue come down but i received notice i was 0 out of the state and can prove it. the second thing is whether i have the integrity to have a hearing and at least ask that the participant or involved

parties be part of the hearing. >> is there a motion to adjourn the meeting so moved. second >> second. >> in favor. >> i. the meeting is adjourned.

>> this lodge is home to some of the best fly casting pools in the world. these shallow concrete pools don't have fish. this is just a place where people come to practice their fly casting technique. ith was built in the 1930's and ever since, people have been coming here to get back to nature. every year, the world championship of fly casting is held in san francisco and visitors from all over the globe travel to be here. >> we are here with phil, general manage of san francisco rec and parks department at the anglers lodge. what do you think about this? >> it is spectacular, travis from oregon, taught me a snake roll and a space cast.

>> i did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice. i met someone else with real fly casting skills. her name is donna and she is an international fly casting champion. >> i have competed in the casting ponds in golden gate park in san francisco. i have been to japan and norway for fly casting competition. i spend my weekends here at the club and at the casting pond. it's a great place to learn and have fun. on a season day like this, it was the perfect spot to be. i find fly casting very relaxing and also at the same time very challenging sport. takes me out into the nature. almost like drawing art in the air. and then i can make these beautiful loops out there.

supervisors no. 140687 administrative code minimum wage wage. a motion ordering an ordinance amending the administrative code to increase minimum wage wage for san francisco to $12.25 per hour to with annual increases reaching $15 per hour with annual cost-of-living increases. this is a possible action as well as action item. >> we have mayor lee here to speak with us. welcome. >> good afternoon. from the mayor's office. jason elliot. i'm here to present the mayor and board of supervisors minimum wage wage proposal for the november ballot. it's a

relative straight forward proposal in terms of the actual policy. the most important detail, i will put this on the overhead is the wage scale itself. i don't want to necessarily take up too much time talking about the in and out of the proposal because i'm happy to do this in question. the weight scale, what happened? in december of previous year, the mayor said, it's about time we era it's the minimum wage in this city. the minimum wage goes up every year by consumer price index and when he got notification that the minimum wage is going to increase to $10.74 for this calendar year he said it's time to do more for the people of the economic run of the ladder. let's raise the minimum wage. in december he reiterated that policy goal in his january state address to

the city and we came up with a number of stakeholder groups, advocates, impacted businesses, workers, non-profits, labor units and advocates and had a number of group meetings, worked with some of the commissioners individually and we eventually came to one ballot proposal. that one ballot proposal was submitted by 10 board of supervisors and the mayor supported by a broad coalition of the city of the people. it basically does this. beginning may 1 #shgs 2015, the minimum wage would increase to $12.25 per hour and then on july 1, 2016, in accrues to $13 and july to $14 and then to $15. subsequent to that. the minimum wage would increase

by api, same mechanism as it does now. there are very limited exceptions to this minimum wage for subsidized youth mroilt -- employment after school and certain government subsidized programs for seniors in the city. very limited exemptions. you have a proposal here that it does have a phased in approach. there were a number of proposals before the mayor put this forward that would have had the minimum wage increase much more rapidly and would have had other policy stipulation about when the minimum wage could increase. we are here, this is the proposal that the city elected leaders of coalesced around and we hope that we can ask for your support of this ballot measure as it moves across the legislative process. this will be in rules committee on thursday for a hearing and then it will move

to the board of supervisors for a vote by the full board. there is one amendment which mr. -- asked know -- me to share with you. i will leave this with you for the file. there are a few technical changes and others redefining olsc. the substantive amendment is one paragraph and i will read it into the record. it's adding section 1207. subsection a it is the policy and city and county of san san francisco that all employees be compensated fairly. towards that end the mayor and board of supervisors shall study and review the feasibility of enacting conditional measures consistent with state law to enhance the agency

enforcement tools to combat wage thefts and will take steps to ensure collaboration among all agencies and departments to enforce this chapter. this is the voters urging the mayor and board to consider future legislation not creating any new rules in this ballot measure which would then not be changeable by the board of supervisors in the future but to put the voters on record if this is going to pass, to put this on to prevent wage theft. this is the language proposed boo i the mayor and supervisor kim. other than that, sort of a non-binding policy and there are no other policies amendment that the mayor and kim are considering at this time. the partnership and leadership in this effort, the mayor did make the announcement back in december as i mentioned that he wanted to see the minimum wage increase and when he convened larger group meetings.

supervisor jane kim stepped up in helping us work through various policy issues that arose and so mayor expresses his appreciation for supervisor kim for her help throughout the process. he'll be guiding through this legislative process. i'm happy to answer any questions about the policy sz itself and why we an arrived at this conclusion. >> commissioner white? >> yes. was there anything that was discussed in regards to, i know there was between tipped employees and non-tipped regarding the minimum wage. was that a consideration? >> thank you. we certainly discussed the issue that restaurants brought up early and often. so for the purpose of discussion to make clear the difference between the tip

credit. the tip credit is prohibited by tiff rules means paying an employee less than minimum wage and accrediting tips to make that equal. we are prohibited from enacting anything like that local by the state. the idea proposed by the restaurant industry was to provide a different wage structure for employees who make tips. differentiate wage for tip employees is how it's referred to. that was proposed and considered. the mayor decided not to include that in the proposal that he forwarded working with the various parties that we worked with to get to the final ballot measure. we wanted to have the minimum wage be as simple as we possibly could. you see other cities in the country or other states that are looking at doing their own minimum wage increases and perhaps they have four categories of business size, perhaps they

have a health care expenditure credit because they don't have choso as we do in the city. perhaps there is other categories or rubrics or stair steps. what we really want to do is make a simple minimum wage rubric as we could and have it phased in. there were proposals that would have had the minimum wage increase much more quickly than what you are seeing now. the mayor felt we should in accrues the minimum wage -- increase the minimum wage in the city for the people who pay it and the minimum wage increase where it is phased in. we ended up with a four 4-year phase in but to do it as quickly as possible so do not have different categories for different workers. the more carve outs, categories, stair steps,

rubrics you have, the more chance there is for interpretations and accidental non-compliance or bad behavior, illegal behavior. we of course want to pursue and prosecute wage theft violators as aggressively as possible no matter what new policy we have but for the people who don't want to do the wrong thing but want to give the employees the pay they deserve. we are seeing issues around hours and how hours are apportioned because of obamacare and prevent the accidental wage theft that would occur and the less you have for those unintended consequences . we ended up not including it in the final proposal. >> did that include workers

in training? >> the workers in training are a much more constrained population. it will have a separate wage. the separate wage for those two groups of people, they will take the increase on may 1, for $12.25. they won't take the july 17th, july 27, th, they will be indexed to inflation immediately after they take the jump . there will be after government subsidized young workers much narrower. >> commissioner dooley? >> we are of course anticipating to have quite a bit of reaction in the small business world. i wonder what plans do you have for tracking what the results are going to
