mr. lee stipulated on behalf of common sense voters that was a controlled community of mark farrell new mr. fairly wouldn't have let him stipulate to that unless i audience add this phoney independent committee was controlled by mr. farrell it's a indisputable and of legal significance with respect to the stauchltstute of limitations he was required to file year-end statements on the year-end statement of common sense voters coming back to the fact the supervisor farrell committee it should have been executed as a controlled committee of mark farrell so the statute of limitation wouldn't have run at the thought it running now as his personal responsibility the candidate is responsible for the liabilities of his committee and mr. farrell is responsible for the controlled committees that one in particular and there's no escaping that i think with respect to the forfeiture policy that's been discussed mr. sutton says you can only apply those in insignificant matter that is the most insignificant matter that's been before you 2 hundred thousands of alleged independent expenditures controlled b

mr. farrell is indicated that he sees the action of f pc having completely x reporting him mr. farrell should be ashamed ever making those statements owning up to what has happened he's not done that and taken this as a victory this is one the most e entrenches campaign violations the only thing remaining the supreme court has left us in coping campaign tricks is honest that is the campaign contribution limits dribbling to a candidate are in place they were violated the idea - so on the yes of statute of limitations it hadn't run fellow commissioners of it had run let's let a judge a court decide that in regards to the usual course of litigation i don't think it has i'll volunteer to be the one that arrests this in front of the destructing and the board of appeals i'll agree that in regards to the idea of a waiver then then moving on to the next question this thing can be waved by us a commission why should we wave one of the most egregious campaign violations that has come before this commission and it's history why wave it because people have come to us and say farrell is an h

mr. farrell is here. >> is there a representative of many farrell here? >> thank you, commissioners for the opportunity to discuss this matter i'm sure you're aware of we submitted a detailed letter outlining the reasons why we believe strongly that forfeiture is not warranted in that matter and it is on the city's behave of the forfeiture request most noblely supervisor farrell has done absolutely nothing wrong the fcc xhublthd a two year discussion where everyone involved with this looked at hundreds of thousands of e-mails and they completely exaggerated supervisor farrell in demi had not teen any action that warranted any type of fine yet we are here basically 5 years later two elections later with a letter demanding he pay $191,000 perp there's absolutely no factual or local basis for such an equitable request again most notably because he didn't violate the law at all also on a procedural ground the establishment bars the commission if the commission wants to ask the committee to forfeit money back to the city the law says it do very clearly your po

mr. sincroy when we raised those issues and you know he's been cooperative and supervisor farrell contacted the commission and immediately starting talking about his position and the implication that even though this committee is closed that supervisor farrell will have to pay that peppering in sum in order to get to the forfeiture in this matter the commission has to apply that provision of law to a situation which is different than any situation in forfeiture before and it has to ask supervisor farrell to pay this money whether it's $191,000 or something else out of his pocket in creativity to the investigation that has completelyes rated supervisor farrell given those facts and those laws - this law we certainly building that forfeiture in any amount is not we're adjourned and we respectfully request the committee agree and wave this, sir if you have any questions, we'll answer them. >> any questions from the commissioners. >> just a couple of questions one putting aside the stauchlts that defense what remedy is there where a candidate sets up his election committee and then set up a ind

mr. farrell for your leadership (clapping) and i'll say that even in constitutional rights even when we're challenged with land use and the cost of the housing we can build 24 additional unit and complete the 4 hundred unit we said a few years ago was over 60 percent on the way more sites that are being public health p put together and doing to smartly not just building the unit but getting the best diligence from cherlyn and gail who helps to provide us with the diligence to make sure that you get in between 48 to 24 most get people confident enough to get out and get the jobs jobs and the train and going ghetto on to the definition this is to allow you to become independent it be successful and be the mayor's and the congressman but we need the enter strength to be nurtured 1972 where it is going to happy i want to take this opportunity this month that is women's history month and already i have provided a review recognized of for the collaborative services so they already have the placards for their own office but one that is right here. >> all right. >> it is my pleasure to perpetrate

mr. farrell and the complainants called and asked me how it got put on the back on the agenda i told them what i told him to everybody understand what we intend to do tonight that this matter was on the agenda and noxious of the discusses a request was made to the commission that the forfeiture letter westbound waved which lead to comments and discussions about what was the normal practice of the commission in connection with the waiver of forfeiture letters in the normal course the way it was handled by the staff and the executive officer either issuing the waiver or denying the waiver the matter was dropped never a vote at the march meeting of the commission whether they wanted to handled in that same way and so after that meeting ended and i had a discussion with executive director about the procedure and whether or not the commission should be the one to make the decision rather than he he and it shouldn't be a burden on him i was also advised one the commissioners took a strong position that it was the commission that should decide whether or not the forfeiture letter to be waved or

mr. farrell came as a citizen he's a successful hedge fund person he cheated and if the job of the commission to represent the people to stand up and do what we need to do if it is possible to slow walk this because another body is slough walk that this is the job of executive director and to make sure the law is upheld we're living in a liberal world if if your connected there's great accountability and if not no accountability. >> and that's what this commission has to make it's priority right now. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners jim representing supervisor farrell and his so-called committee just a few comments you're dealing with a lot of issues we'll put the matter and what happened then for the 5 years in context who the staffer did the right or wrong thing the f p pc did an incredible thorough investigation and interviewed ever witness and party they requested and went through thousands of overwhelms and looked at every factual issue and every legal issue and whorn the guilt parties sunshine who should be fined and they levied a significant fine against who they thought we

mr. sincroy sending a letter out to supervisor farrell saying that the matter has been waved because of the statute of limitations i move that mr. sincroy not send that letter out out. >> is there a second? >> i'll second, that. >> the motion has been made and sect. >> may i comment. >> certainly. >> if the commission were to make the make a decision to approve or deny waiver i think over a certain dollar amount we should we should have that we should actually put a policy in place before we start making decisions without the policy mr. in place abused what it seems like wiener we're about to do is change the policy decision on the fly without noticing the public and fully understanding the scope what is the threshold we'll be approving waivers we should know that i'll say that based on the letter that was drafted to me that i would not approve that because it is contains no rational for why the waiver is being contraband if we're to grant a waiver we fled the rational in the letter that is granting the waiver and certainly i wouldn't want it to be happening my personal view if the statute

mr. fields. >> supervisor farrell, supervisors, i am steve fields. am here representing the human service network as one of the co-chairs. i want to thank supervisor avalos and supervisor mar sponsoring this hearing and thank the unanimous support from the board in this past budget cycle for the fact that we have to finally address the dysfunctionality in the way that we as a city and county deal with the funding stability for what is becoming the most important vulnerable population providing sector for the city which is the non-profit service systems so i am very optimistic and the think the membership of the human services network is as well that we're moving toward a really monumental shift in deciding how we go forward recognizing that we can no longer expect to resolve these issues of non-profit service funding, the salaries our workers deserve through the insanity of the june add back process and if no other reason is going to hold us all together not going through the june 18, 24 hour days on this should hold us as we look for solutions. i wo
