mr. st. croix in willful violation on my sunshine complaint and the city comptroller was also an willful violation on 113 and 11. i have begged to over and over to schedule a public hearing on both of these complaints. obviously, mr. st. croix will have a refusal problem. -- recusal problem. unlike get some justice on these? there may are may not been some about them. we must expedite me with a public hearing on my two complaints. >> members of the commission, members of the task force, the director of san francisco open government. i want to take a moment to go back to what i believe is the core of everything you are discussing here and that is the oath that each and every one of you took to support and defend the constitution, the state of california, and subsequently all of the laws that flow therefrom. the first amendment guarantees the right of freedom of speech and i think the sunshine ordinance and the brown act both go to support and ensure that members of the public that wish to participat

mr. st. croix? >> i make a motion that you and power the chair to make adjustments to the schedule that has been laid out tonight. chair hur: i think that motion has been made and seconded, and the motion was not to change the schedule but that if the parties, sometimes in the sort of things come issues come up where dates have to be modified slightly, and rather than slow down the process by requiring the entire body to meet over a routine at ministerial matter, this would allow the chair to handle those and allow the process to move smoothly and as quickly as due process would allow. vice president studley: i understood the motion. i think it was clear. although we do not normally respond directly, i think the question was where did this schedule come from since the schedule had been adopted with agreement from the parties and was not adopted by motion. we are being more formal and that your authority than we were about the terms of the schedule, and i think if that is the proper procedural step,
