1:22 pm
agreement implementation actions under that agreement, that is the approval of various for turned mission bay south own r par tisation agreement, your purchasing policy, which you have a clean and amended copy now actually on hand, does prohibit any agency employee, including former commissioners from working on matters in which the commissioner or employee had a direct and substantial interest, and in which that former employee or commissioner participated personally and substantially. and as a result of that, mr. ellington, who has now resigned from the commission, he has moved on to work for the golden state warriors as their director of public affairs.
1:23 pm
and it is because that -- there is no direct and substantial interest. we do not see any undue influence, there is no conflict in staff's analysis and view, which is why we do recommend that the commission grant a waiver for mr. ellington's activities and his work with the warriors. that concludes my presentation
1:24 pm
and you see that mr. ellington is in the audience as well to answer any questions. >> thank you. before we hear from former commissioner ellington, madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards. >> we have no speaker cards. >> mr. ellington, welcome. >> yes, it is different from this side of the podium, but thank you guys so much for having me. director bohi, madam chair rosales and commissioners, i'm just excited about this new opportunity that's before me. it's kind of bittersweet because i know a lot of the work we've done formally was very important to san francisco, whether it be affordable housing or improving the quality of life, just important work that i think, you know, i'm kind of sad to not be able to do in the same capacity. however, i am definitely looking to working for the
1:25 pm
warriors as a director of public affairs and continuing the amazing work in mission bay that we all started so i hope you guys grant me the waiver and can definitely look forward to working with each of you as we move forward. . >> thank you. are there any questions for there ellington? >> you know, we had a happy and a sad, you know -- we -- [inaudible] is going to leave us that soon, but i'm very happy for him, you know. so... >> i don't know mr. ellington. [laughter] >> you didn't say good-bye and it's important to maintain relationships with your former commissioners, so -- >> absolutely. no, there was -- in all transparency, there was a quick turn around. i had to hop on an opportunity that presented itself. i didn't want to break any
1:26 pm
policy that's set forth so i didn't want to go behind closed doors and communicate with commissioners and undue unfluns. didn't want that to come into question so -- >> i do wish, you know, good luck with your new job. >> thank you. >> i was just trying to give you a hard time. [laughter] you didn't say good-bye to us. >> yes, and i would add that the commission went on a diet, as you can see because there are no longer five, there's only three of us, and as a result having meetings is difficult at times because we have to coordinate schedules, but i will miss you as a commissioner but i will congratulate you on your work with the warriors. you did a fantastic job. >> thank you. >> we have in front of us, a
1:27 pm
resolution where we would be consenting to allowing former commission, theodore ellington to work with the golden gate warrior regarding an arena and event center, which is in mission bay, a project within our jurisdiction. do i hear a motion? >> i don't know what -- i second that. >> so it's been moved and seconded. >> i do have a comment. i know that our personnel policy that we just approved and acted upon on consent has this two year, what i call revolving door provision that disallows appearance before us by a -- in this case a former commissioner for a period of
1:28 pm
two years. my understanding is that the city's program -- or the city's policy, similar policy a one year revolving door limitation and i would like us to look into -- we will -- i mean, i support this resolution, but i think i'd like to see us line up, you know, our revolving door policy essentially with the city's. i think it's as bit draconian to have a two year prohibition, so that's something we can put on for another meeting, i presume. >> yes, we'd like to do some due diligence under the city's policy and compare the two and it might be that one of those options, if we notice other discrepancies or differences, certainly one of the options for the commission, you could in essence harmonize the policies and adopt the city's policy, but not the
1:29 pm
administrative procedures because it's governed by a separate commission. i think we can present some options to you. >> great. >> are there -- can i ask? >> absolutely. >> are there situations where former commissioner ellington will be appearing before us? as director of public affairs. i assume there would be. >> certainly. there's been a motion and a second. please call roll. >> please announce your vote. commissioner mondejar. >> yes. >> commissioner singh. >> yes. >> madam chairperson rosales. >> yes. >> the vote is three is. >> thank you. . please call the next item. >> 5f, theodore ellington as commissioner of the commission on community investment and infrastructure. discussion and action,
1:30 pm
resolution number 692014. madam director. >> commissioners, i'm very pleased to bring this proposed resolution before you for your consideration. as you know, mr. ellington, former commissioner ellington was a founding member and along with you and former commissioner johnson really jumped into and the details on the policy and helping communities, not only with job opportunities through your policies, but with affordable housing opportunities and continuing to right the wrongs of past actions of the former redevelopment agencies and the like. i too am sorry to see mr. ellington go and glad he's bringing that same lens to his new opportunities. with the commission's permission i'd actually like to read the resolution into the record, if i may. >> yes. absel
