that there are other general conflict policies that apply to all city employees above and beyond the sia, and it would help me to understand something about the scope of those, a more general version of the same kind of things or how they would operate in effect in situations of a kind that are described. >> deputy city attorney andrew shen. they are just different. there are broader and narrower. that reflects financial interests, and one significant difference between that statutory scheme and these restrictions is that at least with the political reform act, you need to be part of the decision making chain before you have a conflict not just those people that are in the decision making chain, and i think that is where commissioner liu's questioning was going. you do not have to do that to have these rules affecting. -- affect you. there are many other differences, i think. one way that they are different from, say, the political reform act is that to do with the political reform act, to recuse yourself of the process, and here, there is a different process that you are well aware of,

the library still feels that, yes, we would like me -- the sia approved as is. we already have things in place for the collection and plant policy as well as our exit policies. we have already established guidelines that address your concerns that have been established for quite some time within the library, so we were hoping that you would move forward and approve the sia. commissioner hur: thank you. any questions or hurt? commissioner liu: thank you for coming today. -- any questions or her? how that is done and if it is separated? >> yes, it is separated. the commission has no involvement in improving library contracts. commissioner liu: so someone who wants to have their work published, they would be in a position to influence to contract with that vendor or the publisher? >> not at all. commissioner liu: a ok, thank you. commissioner hur: any other questions for ms. marion? thank you. i would like to take public comment on this matter. >> yes, thank you very much, commissioners, and of course, do not accept money for the friends of the library. this is mor

our parents issues part of what we're trying to cover 3-d -- a friendly -- to cover through the sia. >> what we're trying to do what is the incompatible activities as being incompatible or inconsistent with the mission, and many of these provisions really are covered by some of the policies that are now listed, such as the collection policy, the exhibition policy. those really set out ways by which certain of these matters are handled, certain processes are handled by the library, and therefore, i think the library feels that because we have those things in place and because the provisions as they now stand really prohibit a lot of the employee is from doing the things that lead to greater participation in the community, for instance, and the things they want the library staff members but to do, that perhaps having these provisions is not the best thing. does that answer your question? commissioner studley: it does. my final question is whether there are a range of concerns that the library is worrying about and things would be problematic. i am just trying to understand the costs. i
