pilpel. >> david pilpel again speaking as an individual. just as clarification yes, there have been joint meetings between the commission and the task force in the past. there can be in the future and i believe one that one of the grand jury findings and recommendation i believe number 20, talked about the relationship between the task force and the commission so you might address it in part to the responses to the grand jury report if you intend to do something in the future you could indicate in your responses that the task force is certainly considering the responses to that grand jury report as well. thank you. >> thank you. now can i have a motion for adjournment. >> i move for adjournment. >> second. >> all in favor? opposed? stand adjourned.

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 mayb

david pilpel peeking as an idea. i have a lot to say and i am sure it will be used against me. >> absolutely. >> i would like to proceed. upon reviewing the staff recommendation i am inclined to agree that mr. rahaim didn't violate a violation of the ordinance. i generally agree that the department was delayed in their production of records. there are clearly some problems that i see with this and you have discussed a lot of them already. the order -- >> [inaudible] >> i'm sorry. can i have my opportunity to speak please? >> every public speaker can speak and if the audience is silence. >> [inaudible] >> if you continue to ask noise i will ask you to leave. >>i am repeat i am speaking as an individual and not representing the task force at this time. the order of determination they reviewed found the department committed a violation. i'm not sure if that's the best way to proceed. i'm not sure that departments in that way violate the ordinance. i think it's individuals who either produce records or don't. i'm not sur

. >> david pilpel again and again i am speaking as an individual. i do not know commissioner chow but i think in general on waiver requests i support the motion to deny the request. my understanding that this seat is a license the architect. it's not specific to large or small firm. it appears to me that another individual could be found in the city who is a small firm architect or merely does private projects in the city or elsewhere or public projects not in san francisco and i think that where we can avoid recusal and have full participation of members on all matters been them that should be encouraged and knowing that there's a potential conflict or issue of influence that should be avoided and another individual found. unfortunately in this case that works against the commissioner i'm sorry and so be it, so that's kind of my thinking. thanks. >> all right. i have a call for the motion. all those in favor say aye. >> aye. >> opposed? >> opposed. >> record should reflect that the request for the granting of the waiver was denied 3-1, one opposing

. >> david pilpel again speaking as an individual. first i want to commend staff for the good work on this and encourage you to adopt the regs either as whole or as amended. the law took effect in the last few days and there are no implementing regulations. adopting them tonight would go into effect in 60 days unless the board of supervisors intervenes. these are very good, high quality, excellent but there may be things that need to be fixed. you have the ability to change regulations in the future but i think adopting them tonight is a good first step in amending the law. to address a couple of points. i don't disagree with having further clarification about the practice of law regulation. although i think in general this is pretty clear. i did want to speak about regulation 2.1 00-04 and the contributions. on page seven you might choose -- i am not recommending it but might choose to strike the words "reason to know" so that the lobbyists knows as a result of fundraising activity. that would clarify concerns about that but either w

>> david pilpel again speaking as an individual. at this time i support the motion. i agree there is insufficient evidence to find a violation for this code for failure to keep records in a professional and business like manner. thanks. >> [inaudible] >> no other public comment. call the motion. all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? it's passed unanimously. turning to -- >> commissioner -- >> number four on the agenda. >> i apologize. >> sure. >> under the regulations the next step in the process is for the commission to instruct staff to prepare a written order reflecting the commission's findings so you're free to do that if you like. >> all right. so i would ask that the staff prepare an appropriate order reflecting the findings and the determinations of the commission on agenda item number three. item number four. discussion and possible action on request for two waivers from campaign and governmental contact code section 3.222 section leo chow who occupies one of two seats on the arts commission has requested two waivers from section 3.222 which bars members of boar
