commissioner renne ? >> it your suggestion that the only role of the commission is to dole out the penalties even though it thinks that the task force has gotten the law wrong? is that your position? >> i believe the task force position is that the ethics commission would be enforcing the decisions of the sunshine ordinance task force. >> even if we felt that you had the law wrong? >> i would not be ability to speak to that part of i. i would bring that question back to the task force. >> thank you. >> mr. chairman, my comment on that is that the task force should inform us clearly whether that's its position. and that should be in writing. >> i will bring that back to the -- we will prepare a formal memo when possible. >> ok. thank you, mr. young. public comment on this matter? >> commissioners, this will be my last time coming before you too. i have some other things to do, but i'm going to wind it all together here. i would like to submit this copy and then at the next meeting you can pass it out to th

commissioner renne? >> well, as i understand what staff is asking us first, because we originally had a 2016 version, which is the one we sent to the board. after their meetings, they made some revisions, and they're now proposing the 2017 version which they want us to use yes, that's the one we want to go forward with or, no, we want to go with 2016. >> i understand that. >> so the first vote -- >> but i've got some questions. i understand that, but my point is whichever one we decide, whether it's the 2016 one or 2017 one, let's move it to get it on the ballot. >> absolutely. but i have a couple of questions about the meet and confer. suppose you meet and confer and the agency says we don't like this, or we want that, and we don't agree to what they say, can we ignore them? so it depends on a lot of factors, obviously. at the next meeting, we'll see what the concerns are about, if anything. maybe they just need an update. maybe there won't be any further dispute, but a meet an confer doesn't require co
