Would like to invite up our City Attorney mr. Herrera for some comments. Thank you, mr. President and members of the board and thank you for the opportunity to come and spend a couple minutes to talk about this Legislation Forum today. First i want to thank and congratulate president chu for all of his hard work over the last year. You may recall that supervisor chiu and i introduced this legislation last year and at the time announced it was our belief that thises the most important ethics legislation to advance before the board of supervisors in its generation and i happen to believe that that remains the truth. We have painstakingly worked over the last year with supervisor chius office to put together the packet that you are considering today really concedes the orange objective over this legislation. Over the last year it has repeatedly demonstrated its is the importance of promoting legislation that is in the best keeping of the ethical and the people have the confidence of the t
Water conservation and the sf puc is distributing these materials to all teachers who are interested in San Francisco and also make it available on their website. Our water class presentations not only are teefrps teachers doing this but our office as well. We have given eight presentations to assemblies targeting about 8,000 students in San Francisco and developing a curriculum to take it to further grades to allow students to be fully engaged in the process. Lastly one of the other aspects we are doing is front line educators and directly turn key materials to use in their classrooms as part of their overall teaching. One of our best strategies is to educate teachers in a way to present this and really get to the message of Water Conservation to all of our Diverse Communities in San Francisco. This program has extremely successful and appreciate our partnership. I wanted to spend a little time on this aspect on Water Conservation and the 10 percent voluntary reduction. Again, one uni
Sheets about environmental topics including Water Conservation and we distribute information directly to teachers and have these items posted on our website for people to download.

One of the most successful aspects to get these fifth graders to be fully engaged from the process and from our account its been a special program in reaching San Franciscos diverse family. In addition to those materials, weve also developed curriculum for the sf puc specifically designed for grades 46. Teachers are able to use the curriculum around Water Resources and Water Conservation and the sf puc is distributing these materials to all teachers who are interested in San Francisco and also make it available on their website.

That we do here when we do the citys business and finally the legislation i think goes absolutely best in making sure that our community is as informed as possible when it comes to the business going on here in city hall. We have enhanced Public Information provision and requirements with respect to reporting financial nonfilers and Publishing Campaign guide so there can be transparency when it comes to Campaign Fundraising and we also strive to make sure that we have full language access. So the legislation requires that we expand the access for nonenglish speakers for a San Francisco tradition and i think its in the cutting age to ensure that multilingual populations are informed of whats going on here in city hall. I want to thank supervisor chiu for his partnership in working with our office in the last year to make sure we put together a comprehensive packet that i think speaks to the best ethical tradition that we all do in the business here in city hall. Supervisor chiu, thank y
