my thoughts as well, i did also support a previous commissioner, bruce wolf who wanted to continue serving on the sunshine task force. he didn't have the votes he needed to confirm. i'm happy to see bruce oka has applied in the third round now for this seat. i have tremendous, tremendous respect and admiration for you, bruce, and i am very sad that you are no longer serving on the mta board of directors. and that you are not reappointed by our mayor. i think that you served a fabulous job. you were very outspoken. you always spoke your mind whether you agreed or disagreed either with the mayors or the board of supervisors, frankly, and i really appreciate that fierce independence. and i actually think that that is what this committee needs and is looking for. i'm happy that you were interested in serving this committee. as you said, this was not of your priority interest. transit is really where your heart lies. but it really speaks, i think, of your dedication to the city and county and your willingness to always serve, that you after spoken to by several colleagues that you were willing

in terms of the prior nomination that was forwarded out of committee for this seat, and that's bruce wolf. and that's something that i recommended i think a couple of times before that the item was sent to the board. and i still think it's unfortunate that that appointment did not go through. i think it's important to have continuity, especially based on what i saw. and the first that i think only meeting that the new -- newly configured sunshine task force had, i think that [speaker not understood] would be helpful. that said, these are the applications we have and, you know, i have worked with bruce oka before. and i actually -- i share the perspective in some respects that mr. oka i think frankly conveyed to us, which is i think that your heart is probably more in the area of transportation in some respects and i wish that you had continued in that capacity, to be honest. not that i have anything against a new appointed commissioner, because i think that she also brings a lot of qualities to it. but what impressed me about bruce on the mta board of directors was that he was not afraid

by the way i am bruce wolf from the past vice chair of the sunshine ordinance task force. i want to draw your attention to items 6 and 7 on your agenda. regarding the closed session. i believe they are posted incorrectly. and quote and refer to the brown act. that's the basis of the sunshine ordinance. you have the opportunity to meet in closed session to meet with legal counsel to sddetermine if you should meet in further closed session if you are party to particular litigation. but you must state on the agenda what the item is about. and the charter cannot trump that. so i have listed the items of the statutes of the brown act in order based upon on the order stated in the agenda. in item 6, it's 54956 -- sorry, starting in 7, it's 54957.1. and the sheet i printed up is in bold, prior to holding any closed session the item to be held in closed session. no. 6 probably won't be covered, you will be talking with your attorney whether or not you are in litigation. and further down in the next session because it refers to 57957.1. in the first sentence... and to enter as amic

. >> good evening, bruce wolf. two commissionary studley's question. we went over this in the april meeting. it was clear in the ordinance that there are two ways, pathways that the task force can ask for enforcement. one is through the willful failure misconduct path. and the other path it can choose any other appropriate entity, city agency or what have you, to provide enforcement. but to your additional question with regards to supervisor of records, in 6721-d, it states that the -- if the custodian refuses or failed to comply, the supervisor of record shall notify the district of attorney or general to be sure they ensure compliance with the provisions of the ordinance. it's a shall. and specific only to public records disclosure. that's in the ordinance and has been in the ordinance. but the task force, that's for the supervisor of records. for the task force it has the additional ability to take it to any other body that would be appropriate. thank you. >> david pellpal. i already spoke, and i want to point out there are two items "l" in the defi

. >> bruce wolf. i just want to, start by saying that most of us here are here to help. and make this work. a lot of us on the task force want to offer suggestions as to how we see things to be either appropriate or better or whatever. so at first i think it's important to separate 6730-c from 6734. the willful failure meaning misconduct. that's completely within your jurisdiction. you deal with it in the way you deal with official misconduct cases. that's something that the task force has no bearing over. but under 6730-c, it's specific for remedies and enforcement only. and not rejudeicatiadjudicate ar the task force did what they did properly. and that's got to be assumed. it has its own legal counsel and it has two attorneys that sit on the body. and also has legal counsel from the attorney's office. you have to consider that what is deemed as a determination is true. and it's asking for you to provide the enforcement for that. that's a two-fold aspect. the first as commissioner remnn and studley pointed out, to get them to do what they were supposed to do. they had
