25, 2016 will begin shortly. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the regular july 25, 2016 meeting of the San Francisco Ethics Commission. I will call the roll. Commissioner keane, commissioner hayon, commissioner chiu. Here. We are still awaiting an appointment for a replacement for commissioner andrews, so all present commissioners are accounted for. Turning to item 2, Public Comment on matters appearing or not appearing on the agenda. Good afternoon, commissioner, charlie mark stellar, for the record, i just wanted to alert the commission to a very important post on the kqed news website that i got over the weekend pertaining to linar corporation, and the developments that are occurring both at both locations in the city. Theres a significant and new items that are being reported in regards to the three indictments that have come down, so i did want to alert you to that and if you dont have it, i can forward it to you.

It burned 4,000 acres. Police would future say the motive behind the fires. Or which fires in the past they suspect him. He has been under investigation for a year and held in jail on 5 million bail. It is hard to imagine someone setting this purposefully. Many of the homes that burned in the fire were the same ones spared last year in the valley fire. The flames have moved on, the conditions are ripe for trouble. The states drought left lake county bone dry and facing extreme fire danger. Some dismissed residents are trying to stay positive.
