to the officers, the officers or the employee may be provided -- and the other is applied to the city librarian who is an employee, and employees only. there is a distinction that is there. in this case, because the library commissioners did not engage in the contract-making, with the city library and with the other staff that will make these decisions, my inclination is to keep up like that, to have this -- when we are narrowing the exemption, but applies only to the employees and the city librarian. >> to have this apply to the commission members, and all of this is for the employees. >> the only problem is that for the commission members, i don't know that if we got rid of a, because we're talking about really, the commission members are not engaged in making contracts. this does not apply to the commission members, anyway. we are talking b to e. so this only applies to the sales rep or the publicist. and this will only apply to the employees. does this make any sense? we will come back with the recommendation. >> and are there any further comments? thank you for your time. the next item on

working well and we expect this kind of collaboration, so i think that is a question for the librarian. >> i am the city librarian, so for your question about the exhibit, i think our recommendation to remove the section is just one example and that to us exhibits is quite a small part of our operation. a much bigger part where we work with vendors and have funds exchanged is through our collection, so we are much more focused on that. in addition, all of our exhibits those throwugh of funding process, and a large number do not have funding exchange. there is a large number of the community that wants to cut something on display, and -- to put something on display, so i think your question, it is a category. we did not feel it should be called out. if there is a specific concern it could be thrown in with a larger umbrella statement, and to call it out makes it seem it is a bigger problem or a bigger issue. we were concerned about the fact that is not the only exhibit group in town, we have other examples that came forward and have to do with nonprofit entities, that a staff member was an artist at the

the city directly related to the officer or employee duties and responsibilities on the processes of the entity they serve. i just recently in december had a finding of a sunshine violation against the city librarian for withholding public records. he was very, very careful to send all of my requests to him to the secretary of the library commission, and then sent me all the information from the friends of this difference is the public library. now, they withheld all of the information which would appear in documents that the city library is required to provide to the mayor's office, the comptroller, and other city agencies and simply gave me the numbers that the friends provided, which are not audited. the interesting thing was, when you look at some categories and then you look at this item, mr. herrera its approximately $65,000 per year by the friends for use at his discretion. $35,000.40 -- -- $35,000 for use at his discretion and then another 35,000 or so for his views. office supplies. i guess the library and others do not provide him with office supplies, so the friends have to give him $35,000 a year to buy those, and he takes the step out to lunch, and he has this and that and those two c

we have also found the city librarian sending a letter in which he suddenly and without explanation has money for this project, $20,000 worth. it was never discussed at the library commission. city librarians are getting $35,000 each year from the friends. think about it. >> good afternoon, board. i am the patient advocates seat of the can of this task force. -- cannabis task force. it was encouraging to see the mayor in attendance of the board meeting. we are hoping to create some dialogue. i write to alert you to an -- an impending health care crisis. hundreds of thousands of disabled americans, who i represent in the patient advocacy seat, are facing a federal block in needed and physician-recommended medical supplies. this embargo is unconstitutional, as well as a backslide with regard to united nations resolve for health care. i asked that our city officials of hold city laws regarding our sanctuary status. our city has two decades of laws on our books in support and project support of safe and legal access to cannabis, evolving from the aids crisis. 16 states have fallen in our fo
