. >> commissioner hur? >> here. >> and i would like to introduce our newest commissioner, brett andrews welcome. >> thank you. >> brett, perhaps you would like to introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about yourself. >> sure. so i have been here in san francisco for ten years. and i have been the executive director of positive resource center, at the mental health organization that provides benefits counseling and employment services. i have been active in the community at many different levels and i am just looking forward to participating in the ethics commission. over the years of having conversation around this type of work, what is very clear is that there is a lot of interest, and a lot of passion and a lot of knowledge. as i have talked to the commissioners and advocates it is important that we have respectful engagement and i suspect to be a bridge in that regard and i look forward to participating with the staff and the commission and the community >> we are looking forward as well. thank you

>> commissioner hur? >> in light of the request to continue and the fact that there are no respondents, i don't see the harm in continuing this further, i understand that it has been continued. a couple of times before and on the other hand the complainant said that they prefer that it be delayed given that it is per complaint, and she at least said that she has a >> i would agree with the conclusion and it is regrettable that we will be criticized very likely to delaying these and we were ready to bring it forward but i think that under the circumstances that the complainant requested that it not be considered tonight, that that would be acceptable. what happens the record could so in terms of the item, why it why it was continued. >> my own concern about continuing is looking through the papers and the communications from the complainant, i think that this is the third or fourth continuance. and all of which have been asked for by the complainant for the same reason. and i although i might be sympatheti

. >> commissioner hur? >> here. >> any public comments on matters on the agenda and not on the agenda. >> i am larry and we want to include the impact that the pending legislation will have on san francisco campaigning and reporting and that is timely now because we are going into an election season and if the legislation such as the disclose act pass its will have a direct impact on what it is that people are required to do here, and it will be good to have the ethics commission provide an update and this is similar to what the fpc does, and also i would note that los angeles ethics commission is participating directly in the conversations with the ftpc and the state on the california disclose act and offering their insights from their experience. and i would recommend that the san francisco ethics commission also participate in discussions so that they could have the benefit of your experience. thank you. >> thank you, mr. bush. >> i would just mention to the commission that we are spending the day with t

. >> commissioner hur? >> mr. martinez are you saying that you would agree not to petition the specific commission on which you served the hpc? >> yes. yeah. >> and i mean like i said in the past four years i recused myself because my friends had projects butvy not had one that came to the chvc. >> you don't anticipate that. >> and i would not take it and i am fine with that for a year. >> additional question that i is that you work entirely alone. >> i used to have employees, you know. >> no partners. >> before 08. but you know i have no partners so i have no one who could represent my firm besides myself. so, i am kind of stuck in that position. and i am doing all right but things are still pretty slow and i don't anticipate hiring everyone, especially not an architect who could adequately represent my work >> any other comments or concerns from the commissioners? >> i have a motion? >> i think that i would be in favor of this sort of waiver, but i would add the caviot that he would not be permitted to come befo

commissioner hur? >> i am trying to imagine what basis would not be... granted or denied in this situation. i mean so if someone says that i don't have an e-mail address that is sufficient i imagine to get a waiver? but what other kinds of decisions are we anticipating here? >> i think that the explanation would have to have a little bit more substance than that. just to prevent the people who don't feel like filing electronically to just say i don't have an e-mail. >> so what? you have a philosophical basis for not wanting a e-mail. >> either philosophical or technical one. if one request to file paper would we put that into an electronic form? >> it would not be exactly the same. first of all when the paper copy comes in, it would be manually processed and it would not be available in a timely manner as the electronic filing would be. and then the second aspect would be when the electronic filing comes in we get two pieces of information. the data format and we are also getting it put on to the form. so in the future if we provide this information in a

i recognized the gravity of the distinction as commissioner hur pointed out. and tried to think about the consequences related to whether the agency typically is or should be represented by whether it is custodian or the person who is in fact the custodian of the records and so i don't think that there is a situation given the responsibility that in this agency goes along with being the director of communication and it is not a stray, junior, and employee who showed up yesterday. and who in the parade of horribles that we heard is taking the rap for the you know, the delay and the alleged willful failure and keep the withholding to a minimum. that said i am not sure what to do with it. so i would appreciate hearing from the other commissioners in the staff whether they think that is in fact what we are doing here. or whether we are following the referal that we received even though the language has changed from the arts commission to respondent kate patterson of the arts commission or whether this is something that we ought to send back for reflection on that

gary emmitt and steven hur wits took the boat ride from san francisco to alcatraz a few hours ago and 8:00 this morning, the 52-year-old hur wits and 62-year-old emmitt began the mile and a half swim. it coincides with the 51st anniversary of the famed escape from the rock by frank morris and the anglin brothers. san francisco bay keeper foundation and the south end rowing cup get benefits. >>> great but not such good news for a bay area swimmer, not so lucky a mill valley's attempt to swim from the fair lawn islands to the golden gate bridge ended up in disappointment. joe lock was tracking his 28 1/2-mile solo swim online so everybody could see t before 11:00 last night, only four miles from his goal, bad news, lock, well, yeah, didn't really wear a swimsuit, a wet suit out there in the chilly water and he was stung two times by jellyfish. and that ultimately forced him to stop swimming after he got sick. no word yet if he will try again. so close yet so far. >> rather be bit by a jellyfish than a shark. >> i think you're probably right. >>> a great day for golf today. >> yeah, if y

. >> so, how is that different from your original seconding of commissioner hur's motion? >> because it puts the complainant to the proof of medical documentation and so forth and i think that that may be tilting the tables a little more than i would like to do. >> could i make a suggestion? >> yes. >> i would suggestion a motion postponing or continuing the item subject to the call of the chair. we can only communicate with her by mail. we generally do not get responses to requests. as a practical matter, i am not sure how we would get the things schedule between now and september. i do feel like, there is a competing interest to get this matter resolved that we have all addressed. and i think that the challenges coming up with the compromise and giving it to the call of the chair or something. but we could very well be in the same position at the next meeting where we don't have evidence of her meeting an accommodation and she is not here and then what? >> which is why i think at least giving, or saying, look if you don't give us some proof, we are going to go forward, t

hur. you sit there and you smile and you laugh, and you make derog torrey comments because you have the power. >> you are a bully. >> i think that the only person that is making derog torrey comments in this chamber is you. >> i asked to respond to this comment. and i was told that mr. hartz has had a lot of time. >> you have a lot of time, more than the normally allotted time. >> so we are opening this up to public comment and i believe that mr. warfield was going to speak. >> mr. warfield, were you going to speak? >> peter warfield, executive director of library users, i have had a long history with the library and unfortunately i can say that the new commissioner is mistaken. the job of the minutes is not necessarily to include anything that the commissioners say. or anything that their officials might say,vy been to a lot with the library commission. let me tell you they have it on frid which they wanted to put into the library and which we and the aclu at the chronic foundation though

but that would require you to use a different portion of your rules and i did forget commissioner hur that under section three, not only would you be much more able to recognize who is the responsible party, mainly the art commission head. but, there is also a provision for staff investigation, which is not the case for a chapter two, repeating, so there is a whole different procedure that you have, with respect to these matters. and the other thing is that i would like the record to be clear. i think that mr. st. croix's memo completely confuses matters and then the agenda packet, makes it look as although everything was kosher when it was not. you have talked about it, i mean, look at the e-mails i was writing on behalf of the library users association, to whom, the secretary of the arts commission. why? is poor miss patterson according to mr. st. croix the respondent of my complaint? read my complaint in here. it says, arts commission. so the whole thing is skewed and you are being distracted by a whole bunch of questions in the midst of all of the subnative questions because mr. s

commissioner hur? >> just a couple of additional comments. on the $100,000, i'm personally at this point in favor of keeping the limit. i understand there is a burden for those who are going for contracts of that side. that it does not apply in la, but i think that we are also, i think that we have a smaller budget, right? than la? >> yeah. >> over all? >> so the percentage matter, i am not sure the difference is as big as it seems. in addition, i think that it would be very helpful to require the donorto, to affirm that they have not made the contributions or done the things that were prohibited. i think that is a helpful thing that la requires that we could benefit from. and finally, i appreciate the effort that has been made into determining what we can do about electronic notification and disclosure. and would encourage the continued evaluation of that. because that would be really helpful. and i think that the public has benefited greatly from our efforts in other areas relating to electronic disclosure. and to the extent that we are abl

>> commissioner hur moved to find that the respondent met the burden to establish that the record may not be publicly disclosed in an unredacted fashion. >> >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> agreed to that >> thank you, commissioners. >> next item. did we do the 67.34. >> no we didn't. >> were we going to do that? or were we going to keep it to the 67-26, 27? >> so 34 is the third thing that the task force identified whether the failure to follow the task force order, the violation. >> there was some discussion about whether or not that was... >> and that was the one that... the discrepancy. >> no, it is in the march order, in the march referal to. i was mistaken when i said that they were inconsistent it was the april letter when they had not gotten to the order of determination yet. >> can i also say that i thank the complainant and respondent and thoughtful comments, at a minimum i hope that you appreciate that we are trying very hard. >> >> and we appreciate your candor and professionalism. >> 34 is to comply with the order of determination. >> do we need to disc

>> commissioner hur? >> can i ask one other question about item number 7? i know that we have kind of moved on. would that be okay? >> yes. >> has the staff considered what we can do within our budget restraints and within our staffing constraints to improve our enforcement process? >> well, that has been an ongoing self-reflection for years. and again, i think that recently we have done a much better job. there is a lot in the pipeline that has been the product of very productive work. that will be coming out in the future meetings and i think that we are going to continue to ramp up our capabilities and our accomplishments in that area. so it is something that we contemplate all of the time. >> i mean, specifically, what, what do you think has changed recently? >> or will change in the near future? >> that i think we are doing a lot more work in terms of taking complaints and getting better legwork done in terms of interviewing witness and looking at paperwork and documents. one of those areas that is difficult to improve is a lot of folks that is investi

around 8:00 this morning, 52-year-old hur ritz and 62-year-old eem mitts will begin the mile and a half swim. they have successfully completed that route 999 times. >> wow. huge congratulations. i hear the water is kind of cold. >> a little chilly. >> 99 problems and that cold water is one. a good looking day shaping up. temperatures are chilly to start. not too bad in places like sunnyvale. napa, 52 degrees, 53 in gilroy and santa cruz this morning 56 degrees to start the day. a lot of kids getting out for summer break as we head throughout this week. temperatures aren't going to be too hot for them as we head throughout today. if you want to get them outdoors, you have them at home with you torques day is a great day to do so. we'll see the low clouds until 10:00. mostly clear conditions over the greater bay area for the second half of the day. we'll see the sunshine return today. we're done with that humid air mass that really triggered those thunderstorms yesterday. we have quite a bit of lightning at this time yesterday. as we head through today, a more stable pattern shaping up, h

. >> commissioner hur you have a question or a comment? >> i was just going to say that i, concur with commissioner studley and i would be prepared to hear public comment and vote. >> i would move that we make a finding as suggested by commissioners. >> i would be happy to make that motion. and then we can have public comment on the motion, would that be helpful? >> yes. >> i believe that the motion is that the commission, find a better way to articulate this. the commission finds that the city library did not violate the sunshine ordinance as to all allegations referred to by the task force because the 150-word written summaries were included within the minutes as required by the sunshine ordinance and under section 677-hp 16. any person shall provide a statement, and this is the responsibility of the secretary of the clerk to take down and i appreciate you commissioner studley for creating the distinction or outlining the distinction between a transcript and minutes which is to summarize all of us that is the role and the responsibility

. >> seconded by commissioner hur. >> call the question. all in favor? >> aye. >> the motion passes. >> the next item. >> okay. again you have the informational memo in front of you. and i would just point out that early they are year in february, the commissioner voted unanimously that this particular type of practice of a pending written statements to the end of the minutes is acceptable prior to that in 2011, the commissioner reached the same conclusion. and it is continues to be the advice of the city attorney that is an effective practice. >> we would like to hear from the complainant? mr. ray hartz. >> i assume that i have ten minutes. >> ray hartz san francisco open government what changed from the time that this was heard back in february? for the benefit of the commissioner who was not here, this is what we are talking about, section 67.16 of the minutes and any person speaking during a public period may supply a brief written summaris for their common, 150 words and shall be included in the minutes. and i would ask each of you especially those

hur's argument i will now send all of my idr and my information requests and anything that i have directly to the department head and specifically with the department head because that is the person who receives annual sunshine training and annual sunshine declaration and has the responsibility as the department head to insure everyone in the department follows the law. if someone does not follow the law, it is his or her responsibility. i was in the navy, in the submarine service, for 12 years and one lesson that we learned is that delegation is not advicati. on. >> if you named the director or the head of the department they are the ones who are responsible either directly or in directly for sending the person to deal with this issue or to answer for this issue. >> responsible for sending miss patterson and unfortunately that is an out for them because what they do often is some people who have absolutely no idea, no idea what is going on in this situation and show up and get asked questions that they can't answer. >> and that is why i avoid all of this discussion because i say that it i
