. >> deputy city attorney jon givner. the sunshine ordinance provides that those organizations will nominate and the board will confirm. ultimately, the ordinance itself doesn't restrict the board to approving the nominees that are submitted by those organizations. so, at this point the organization has, has -- each organization basically has two options. to come back to the board with the same nominee and ask -- urge the board to confirm that nominee, or to come back to the board with a different nominee or a different list of names that the sunshine ordinance suggested is an option. >> my understanding is the intent of the ordinance was to ensure that there were representatives of certain communities and in this case, you know, you're talking about journalist, you're talking about the league of women voters. and since the board is not moving forward on those appointments as has been the case before, could there be a finding of violation of the board for failing to meet that requirement? that's just one question that i h

>> deputy city attorney jon givner. the board doesn't have the authority to amend the contract. >> that's what i thought. >> by motion. if the mta submits a new version of the contract, the board can vote to accept that contract into the file and then ultimately vote on the resolution. so, the board can't be amending the contract. i understand from mr. reiskin that he is interested in hearing the will of the board and would come in with potentially some contract amendments that the board could consider and go up or down. >> is that something will reiskin could articulate today and a commitment to the board so we can make a decision on this? is that the process or are you suggesting it needs to be written contract amendments? >> mr. reiskin could come to the board today and say, here is the contract that we have essentially negotiated with the other party that we are proposing to the board to approve, and the board could approve that today. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you. mr. reiskin, what would this mean in terms of

>> deputy city attorney jon givner. that's correct. i believe there are several members whose, whose terms have, have ended who are holding over, which is allowed under the sunshine ordinance task force, but not under certain charter created committees -- commissions. >> okay, thank you. and seats 1 through 5 are the ones that must be appointed or nominated by an organization. i don't believe that we've confirmed any of those and my assumption is the proceeding, not members, can change who serve in though seats. great. i just wanted to say i do know, too, out of the members as a member of the rules committee, i am happy to support all three of those members, but i also do support having them go back to rules for a full -- so we have a full universe of candidates that come before us. if that motion doesn't come through, i'm happy to support these three moving forward. i know we have to move on the sunshine ordinance task force. [speaker not understood] i do think it's important to fill those seats. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you. i'

>> deputy city attorney jon givner. the resolution effectively is the document that approves the contract. so, the board could amend the resolution to reflect what is in the contract certainly. i don't believe the issues that the board is discussing right now, the wraps, the digital media, are even mentioned in the resolution itself. >> my point is this. could the board amend this resolution to approve the contract with the understanding that the approval is contingent upon certain terms being in there, like including making sure that the number of buses remains at 15? couldn't the board do that? >> the board can only vote up or down on the contract that the mta offers to it. >> the board providing sort of the authority for the mta to enter into a type of contract, right? is there something that prevents the board from doing that? >> if the mta comes to you and says, here's the contract we have with the conditions that you gave, you can approve that contract. the board does not have the authority to say, here are the co

>> deputy city attorney jon givner. existing members i believe are currently holding [speaker not understood] and will continue to hold over. the three appointments would be kind of dove planned approved by the board. those would be filled by the new members. so, unless there are issues with existing members continuing to make meetings, the appointments today would create form problems. >> okay. so, so, the recommendation is that we will move the three people for seats 6, 8 and 10 which is needed to fill. todd david and louise fischer to the full board with positive relevanttion. ~ recommendation. >> as a committee report. >> no objection? so motion passes. [gavel] >> mr. chair, we need to make a motion to continue to the call of the chair [speaker not understood]. >> yes. >> yes. >> so, i'd just like to make a motion to continue the file to the call of the chair. >> seeing no objection, motion passes. [gavel] >> so, before we he entertain a motion to convene in closed session, is there any member of the public who wish

>> sure, deputy city attorney jon givner. the ordinance if it passes the board and as signed by the mayor in the next couple weeks won't go into effect until early july. the council is set to sunset on june 1st. and, so, we just added a proposed amendment today that would ensure that the members of the council don't lose their seats on june 1st and the ordinance will be retroactive when it finally goes into effect. >> okay. colleagues, does anyone want to make a motion to support those particular amendments? >> so moved. >> okay. item has been moved. without objection, the amendment passes.

>> deputy city attorney jon givner. so, the board voted to affirm the final mitigated negative declaration which was item 17, and to table the item 18. but you also adopted item 19 and that item should be tabled as well. >> right. >> so, colleagues, if we could briefly go back and recall that item, and supervisor kim, if you first want to make your motion to rescind your motion. >> i will make a motion to rescind. my pool jai for that. second by supervisor campos. without objection, that should be the case.

thank the extensive work of his very able deputy city attorneys, joshua white, andrew chin, lee, jon givner, and alley fisher who have been working with my office on these issues for quite sometime. in recent months my office has heard from nonprofit leaders, attorneys, ethics advocates, permit expediters and many others and again i want to thank you for the extensive input you have all helped to improve our legislation. and finally, i want to be clear that there are several proposals that i have not included in this ordinance that we are definitely continuing to contemplate and i fully expect them to be revisited in the future. as i said at our last hearing on this topic a couple of months ago, our city has decent ethics and lobbying laws. they are among the most detailed that we've come across in our research. but we know that we can do better. during my time on the board i'm proud to have passed several pieces of ethics ordinances that require online reporting of lobbying activities, require the electronic filing of campaign statements, and updates to our city conflict of interest codes.

>> deputy city attorney jon givner again. it's an unusual situation, supervisor. i don't think, though, an appropriate motion to vote on other than the supervisors stating what each of you, i suppose, sick of you, what your intention is. ~ six of you another intention is to vote on the resolution with the contract as is, and if that fails then move it, then continuing the conversation with -- with the department. >> okay. >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you. through the chair, my question is to the maker of the motion to supervisor mar. i wanted to just get a better understanding of the significance of 15. how did you come to that number? >> well, that's the status quo right now we've had for several years. my understanding from the mta is they've never gone that high in the history of the contract and i don't see right now any reason to extend it to 30 because i think that would increase the number of -- i did say in the committee that i actually despised the wrapped around the windows type advertising because as some said in the budget committee, it cheapens the c
