[music] san francisco has a fascinate and complex network of governmental and community organizations. this often over limited partner in their missions and collaborate rit on solving today's challenges. often used for good, there are insubstances the relationships have created conflict. unduly influenced city policies

or services or circumvented procedures. torous issue policies restricting officials ability to solicit behested payments were created. but what is i behested payment? a behested payment made to a nonprofit at the request, suggestion or direction of a city officer or employee. a payment can be cash, goods and/or services. these rules have no impact on your ability to donate to a charity or other organizations. the rules only apply to officers or designated employees on the city and county of san francisco. these city officers and designate nited employees make

considerations with some limited exception. this vo will explain who interested parties are and the types of solicitations not allowed and what exceptions allow for certain solicitations. fortunately, no actual partying is restricted boy these rules. simple low put an interested per can be anyone with an interest in your department's work. including, anyone seek to influence your department. lobbying. over the past 12 months. permit consultants registered with the ethic's commission and reported contacts with the officers or employees department during the past 12 months. or anyone speak enforcement i license, permit or other entitlement from your

department. considering this, if someone is seeking a favorable decision from you or your office and you ask them to do nit to a charity, they might think if they do donate they will get better treatment. this is when we want to avoid. the real or perceived conflict of interest. there are some exceptions to these rules to help city agency and programs collaborate with nonprofits and donation. solicitations made urn authorized city programs for donations to nonprofits or public schools through competitive procured contracts are allowed by an ordinance. in connection with the negotiation or administration of i city contract, which are directly related to the terms of or perform under the contract;
