mr. givner: sure. deputy city attorney jon givner. last year, the state legislature adopted a bill that requires that any time a ballot measure is proposed to the voters that could increase taxes, it has to have certain information in the measure, including how much will be collected each year, what the potential rate of taxation is, how long collection would continue. and so going forward, all tax measures and geobonds must include that information. the legislature is currently considering a bill that would not apply that new rule to geobonds, so it's a little unclear at this point whether the state law will restrict how we define the question for this bond. in the current ordinance before you, there is a proposed question for the geobond. >> supervisor cohen: right. >> mr. givner: because the state law might change, our recommendation today is that you can pass out the ordinance onto the full board, and the ordinance -- and the board could even vote to place the ordinance on the ballot over the next several weeks. but before you do

mr. givner: that's right. supervisor kim, i believe, discussed potentially adding in these pieces as well as some other pieces in the larger ordinance that passed at the board but instead chose to move these pieces separately after the board considered the big piece of legislation. >> supervisor safai: all right. 'cause i mean -- actually, it would be good to -- actually, i don't know that we have the brain power for that right now, but it seems to me we would benefit from a little bit more conversation on these issues that are in front of us today, particularly around the idea of the disclaimer that's been removed. also, you said some of the stuff clarifying supplemental reporting on public financing. these are all things that impact us as supervisors and part of the process, so it might be helpful to have someone here from the ethics commission and then we can have a little bit more of a conversation about this, if that's okay. supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: i just want clarification. so the ethics commi

mr. givner: sure. deputy city attorney jon givner. you don't have to read the amendments into the record. i think supervisor ronen described essentially what those amendments are at the outset. one big piece of it is there are some changes to the structure throughout, but one big piece is no longer requiring specific departments to submit reports to mohcd in order to prepare the master chess report and no longer prepare that ordinances creating cultural districts will go through specific commissions. now it may be and probably will be that when an ordinance is introduced to create a new cultural district, it will be required to go through certain commissions, depending on its content like the historic preservation commission, but the ordinance doesn't specify that in that kind of fine board detail. in terms of your second question about the process going forward, there is not an
