came back to the play ground where kids and community should always be able to go and we and the mayor and the rest of the city agencies here are committed to this neighborhood and this park should be for the kids and the community, not just on national night out but any night of the work to come and enjoy so there will be cops here regularly. soon enough they will be using this clubhouse as a place they use as the base of operations and there's not -- i can't say enough how much time we want to spend with the young people in san francisco and for all of the people that contributed tonight and for the mayor and his leadership supervisor cohen, the district attorney, and others and i think you jinxed us with saying the rain isn't coming and have a good time and next year

will be even better. >> thank you sir. we are blessed to have the supervisor for district 10 so let's welcome supervisor cohen. >> hello family. hello. what a beautiful day. my god we couldn't have prayed for something better than this. thank you for everyone for coming out. thank you. because you know what national night out is about? it's very simple. it's one night when cities all around the country come together to say we're taking back our parks, taking back our streets, taking back our cities, taking it back from the violent crime element and reclaiming it as a safe haven for the community. there are people here that deserve some recognition. i want to recognize the community partners and specifically list up ms. ruth jackson sitting here in the green. this woman

deserves serious recognition and love. i want to recognize the fact that we have a true community. you look around here we've got sano ans, asian pacific islander community, the chinese community, african-americans, caucasians. we have literally the physical man festation of what makes san francisco biewsm. we have the latino community. this is incredible. we have young people. we have seniors this. is exactly what this is about and what visitation valley is about and i want to thank all of the sponsors and partners who made this possible and all of my friends out there in the back serving and grilling and packaging food and giving from their hearts and that's what this is about. this is a labor of love so remember that as we continue to have a good time tonight. i am malia cohen. thank you. [applause]

>> thank you very much and we have -- blessed to have our district attorney here, district attorney gas con. >> thank you reverend and mayor and malia. the essence of community is the ability to come together and have good people use the open space, and today not only are we celebrating people coming together and using this park, but also we're celebrating the fact that as a community we refuse to allow violence to define us. we as a community are coming together, neighbors, police officers, supervisors, the district attorney's office, our probation because we refuse to allow our community to be defined by the worse moment -- by a bad moment

of violence, so i am very proud of being here today. this park is a wonderful place. it's a place that we want to want to make sure the community uses and we are committed to ensuring this is a safe place for all to play. thank you.

>> [gavel] good afternoon and welcome to the july 28 meeting of the san francisco ethics commission. i will take attendance.

chairperson mr. hur has been excused for personal reasons and calling the other commissioners. renne. >> here. >> commissioner andrews. >> here. >> commissioner keane. >> here. >> before taking public comment on item number 2 i just want to call everybody's attention to the fact that the regular meeting for august has been canceled, and there will be a special meeting on august 18 at 10:00 a.m. in room four one six to consider the report of the civil grand jury and the commission's response thereto. at this time i will take public comment on matters of not appearing on the agenda that are within the jurisdiction of the

ethics commission. >> members of the ethics commission. ray hart director of san francisco open open government. in 1964 and here in san francisco barry goldwater accepted the nomination for president and his brief acceptance speech included items that were boiled down to the following. i would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice and let me remind you moderation and the pursuit of justice is no virtue and i want to make it clear that any citizen including myself has the right to come here and tell you stuff that you don't want to hear and talk about your performance as members of this commission and this commission as a whole. and yet the pattern here seems to be that you joke about it and you act when members of the public come to talk to you that they're being

species or anarchistic or whatever and the perfect case when we were talking not too long ago and you were joking "well, you think we're trying to hide stuff." i don't think you're trying to hide stuff. you do it all the time. that's what you do. you're here to hide stuff that you do and other city agencies do. this ethics commission is a waste of the resources used for the operation. it's nothing that the citizens of san francisco could have imagined when voting for the establishment of open government. anyone that wishes to put a minimal effort can examine the record and see that this body has absolutely nothing over the course of its existence to open government and as done everything possible to hide its secrets including illegal

actions from the public. three commissioners -- commissioner hur, renne and commissioner hayon are political flacks answerable own to those that appoint them. that is not a personal attack. it is my personal opinion and i base it on years of watching you. you do nothing but protect the people and in my case that was heard without my presence commissioner hayon participated defended the person that was on the opposite side of the case. talked all about the reasons why they were right and why i was wrong and then at the end recused herself to avoid the appearance of a conflict when she actively was in a conflict during the entire proceeding. i had sincere hopes for the new commissioners and although they talk a good game there is

nothing that will indicate that they will just follow the lead of the other members. i challenged you before. come here before the public and gave examples how you improved city government. you never do for the simple reason you can't. you don't do a damn thing to make government in this city better, nothing. in fact you are the antithesis of what the citizens of this city intended when they passed this law. >> good afternoon commissioners. i'm going to hand the deputy city attorney a document they want distributed to each of the five commissioners and my written testimony which i have already submitted to mr. mr. st. croix and mr. chatfield. i am here on my own time as a private citizen. i am distributing to ethics commissioners a new complaint

that david pilpel has failed over for 130 days to file the annual required form 700 statement of economic interest sei by the required april 1, 2014 due date. on june 23 i provided you commissioners copies of a different complaint regarding mr. pilpel's violation of the statement of incompatible activities, that is applicable to task force members. during the commission commission meeting on november 25. >> >> commissioner keane thankfully raised a question regarding having a discussion about the ethics commission's executive director's power to dismiss complaints unless a commissioner pulls it off of the

consent calendar. for both sea and sei complaints against mr. pilpel i strongly urge this commission to require that a hearing be held on each complaint and that both complaints be addressed by the full ethics commission as expeditiously as possible. state and local law of which pilpel must be surely aware provides that filers that are more than 30 days late filing are subject up to $500,000 per violation and willful failure maybe a misdemeanor offense and there is is no exemption to let him off the hook and minimum fine should be as listed and

based on calendar days it should be 170 days for the 117 calendar days that passed since april 1. however given the severity of his violation of the public trust he should be fined the $500,000 per violation -- $5,000 per violation penalty. given his conduct i request that the commission fine to determine that pilpel's discipline should include a recommendation to his a appointing authority he removed from the sunshine task force and failing to file a form 700 it is only appropriate that a remedy including a recommendation to the appointing authority that you recommend

that he be removed from sotf at once. >> any other public comment? turning to agenda item three, discussion and possible action on a matter submitted under chapter three of the ethics commission regulation for violation of the sunshine ordinance attachments memorandum to commission hearing notices report and recommendation and appendices a to c thigzs number hearing regarding willful violation of the sunshine ordinance by department head referred from the sunshine ordinance task force on february 28, 2014. complainant -- task force complaint 13024. complainant mica ringel and

john rahaim and i call for any public comment -- >> not yet. >> okay. >> [inaudible] >> do you have -- there is a report i think of the staff and a recommendation. >> [inaudible] >> is mr. ringel here? is there someone from planning here ? >> all right. want to be heard? >> [inaudible] >> five minutes please. >> [inaudible] >> 10 minutes, yes. >> sorry. >> there was no communication
