you have that in bruce wolfe who has an outstanding record on the task force. icularly as the information technology systems of this city are undergoing renovation, you need tech savvy people. you have mr. wolfe, mr. rumold and vice-chair fischer who can meet that criterion. i am stepping aside because after 12 years it is time to allow in some new energy and new ideas. you have that -- you have that in ali winston. i am on the spj society of professional journalists freedom of information committee, and i fully support the nominations of mr. winston and mr. rumold to those seats. thank you. >>> kerry brockton, member of the board of league of women voters. i'm speaking now as a citizen of san francisco. i've also spoken quite a bit about maintaining diversity in san francisco and in our city government. the charter also encourages this as well as the best government practices. what i have observed today in sitting through this particular rules committee agenda item is that out of the 13 candidates for the 11 seats you have 10 candidates who are white male. i kn

so was bruce wolfe, a qualified and experienced candidate, who was the sole representative of the disability community. supervisor farrell of this committee discredited himself and alienated many by saying he was seeking "fresh blood" for the task force. as a result of this political vendetta, the task force couldn't function for four months because of its warped composition which violated the city charter. i hope this committee will turn the page on this disgraceful

my name is bruce wolfe. i served on the sunshine ordinance task force from 2005, summer of 2005 to 2012. and over the past two years i have listened to a number of the meetings as they were recorded and made available to the public online. in all those seven years, the work that i've done has been, from what i've been told, very well done, honest, unbiased and impeccable. my contributions for me were always honest and caring and with civic volunteers. i enjoy serving my community. i know not many people are able to do that for various reasons, but i try to make my time to contribute what i can. and those ears do speak for themselves. as you know, i'm no stranger to many hearing rooms and to offices here at city hall. and it's probably not necessary at this juncture for me to do a full introduction of myself. you do have my full resume and cv in front of you. we all care about transparency at sunshine, for it to be about truth and justice and integrity. and with your appointment and approval, the public and s

. >>> hello, my name is bruce wolf. i was an old friend of paul longmore's and a student at san francisco state in the late '90s, early 2000s. i want to thank catherine for keeping his name alive ~ and vibrant in all the work it's been doing. i support all the work that you're doing and what the arc had suggested. i think it would be great to have the board of supervisors pass a resolution brought forward by you folks to name a day or a week or however, just to celebrate paul's contributions. thank you. >> thank you. >>> ♪ have a great a-d-a silver anniversary and i hope all your rainbow dreams do come true and i wish you all the magic this world has to give and i hope you last for days and years and even more and more happy anniversary to anniversary a-d-a to you ♪ >>> all i can say to a-d-a, 25 years, i've been here 25 years. so have san francisco housing development corporation. and, you know, i was sitting there and sometimes i hear the word disabled and disability and i start wondering, which one makes me feel bad?

i'm here to support the present incumbents, all of them, and also bruce wolfe. as was testified previously, bruce is the only disabled candidate. so, as you know, if he is not appointed, the sunshine task force cannot exist. and if you are truly advocates of open government and access to public records, you will not allow that to occur. let me just respond to a couple of questions from your body that i listened to during the nomination process. i think the board of supervisors should be more interested in the backlog of cases that are pending rather than the length of the proceedings. secondly, many occasions, the task force has not had a quorum, but that is a direct result of the board of supervisors not filling the vacancies. so, you know, supervisors can speak that they are strong supporters of the task force, but what is more important is the actions that they take. you need to fund the task force with adequate resources to hear all the cases and make the nominations in a timely way. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comments? seeing none, public com

my name is bruce wolf. i apologize for not being able to attend in person today. as i'm recovering from surgery last week. that said i'm still pretty sore. i attended and testified in public comment to you all at your last meeting regarding upcoming appointments to the sunshine ordinance task force. this appointments were being considered yesterday. the topic for you that i testified at was regarding the requirement of a person with a disability to be appointed in order for the task force to meet. this is a high bar at the framers of the bament -- ballot initiative to recognize the importance of the community to be included. that ballot was approved by 80 percent of the voters. i did leave my bed to attend the board of supervisors rules meeting yesterday despite the pains of surgery. the rules committee did not make any appointment of a person with a disability despite there being only one applicant fitting the requirement after a lengthy application period. that person being me. i am well qualified and experienced for this position as i have served on this body p

. >> my name is bruce wolf and today i'm representing san francisco. i agree with all the priest -- previous speakers on the critiques that they have. shero -- they are very important. i also want to include a guide and service dogs. obviously a dog takes up some room. usually they are fairly large when they are used with a harness and when the cars are very busy and maybe all the disability seats are taken by people with disabilities, there isn't additional room for a dog to take up enough space for 1 person. so i'm wondering if there was some ability underneath to provide underneath the seats enough space. i have not entered a car yet with my dog. i do have a disability and have a service dog for balance. i would appreciate any consideration you can make for those of us that require dogs to be functional. thank you. >> thank you. is there any other comment on the bridge line? okay. moving on. going to agenda item no. 8. information item, report from the disability disaster preparedness committee. >> good afternoon, the disabilities commission met. th

bruce, thanks very much for coming in. >> thank you, wolf. >> i know you're outraged by the commentsdonald sterling made and you believe there should be zero tolerance, right? >> that's correct. >> when you heard what he said, what immediately went through your mind? >> well, first of all, i've got to say a couple things. donald sterling, what he said, i'm his partner. i can't be partner with somebody who shares those views. >> because you're another owner of an nba team? >> yes. 30 of us. adam silver -- >> the commissioner? >> the commissioner has made it very clear that he's banned from the league. i support what adam is doing and i think it resonates with you will a of the owners. >> what about the wife, shelly sterling? assuming he's banned for life, should she be punished along the same lines? >> i think we need to let this process play out. i think we'll have a result that makes sense for our fans, for the public. >> hold on for a moment because rachel nichols, the host of "unguarded" is also with us. rachel, let me get your take on shelly sterling. is she going to emerge as th

wolf. >> reporter: and according to bruce's theory, fred chased his wife right into the shallow pool wherewhere he held her underwater and drowned her. and then placed her right by the submerged log. >> reporter: but bruce admits, investigators lacked some evidence to back up that scenario. what about footprints? there were no footprints in the mud or -- >> no. and by that time, we'd had investigators in here, and it'd been tracked up pretty good. >> reporter: so the evidence was ruined essentially. >> yeah. >> reporter: if there was evidence? >> right. >> reporter: the sheriff and agents from the colorado bureau of investigation -- the cbi -- worked together, investigating what they now thought was a homicide. they went down to where the muellers lived in wall, texas, to poke around in fred's life, but they couldn't find anyone to say anything bad about him. >> we found that the interviews were largely unproductive. >> reporter: you were hitting walls? in wall, texas, which is an outlying community outside of san angelo, it's a pretty closed community. and inside that community, none of l
