the standards of decency and good conduct we expect our officials to engage in. chairperson hur: commissioners? commissioner liu: i do think that if the sheriff is taking the position that the misconduct has to relate to something going forward with this official duties, this evidence potentially would be relevant. if i understand you are trying to demonstrate what the relationship or the nexus is between the alleged misconduct and his performance of duties going forward. i thought i understood the shares position to be that the mayor has to establish that connection. if that is the case, i do think this would be relevant, at this witness is supposed to testify about how the alleged misconduct or off-duty behavior could potentially affect someone in the the sheriff's position. i do see the relevance of there. >> i think the problem is this is a very expansive reading of what the duties are of the share of of san francisco. i understand why the mayor wants to expand those duties so that they can bring in a parade of the expensive expert witnesses. the problem is th

that is the concern because the official misconduct when you go to the charter for elected officials is a very important phrase. and without that language, one could say that the elected official can violate the sunshine ordinance, and it might be willful, but there would be an argument on his or her part. it doesn't rise to the level of official misconduct. that is what the paragraph was concerned about. and the next sentence saying that it should be handled by the ethics commission, that is the way the charter provides. it goes to the ethics commission. when you get to 67.35, a much more broadly worded section, d says "any person may institute proceedings for enforcement and penalties under this act. that there has been some order somewhere, or he or she has made application for public records, and they have been rejected or ignored." regardless of who that individual is, so long as it is public record under the control of any public official, it can go to court, or they can go to the ethics commission. it seems to me that the section was intended -- go to a court or go to the ethic
