Want to open up Public Sector procurement to private organizations, there are going to be occasions of confidentiality. I am not sure about extending f. O. I. Further. Id rather i mean, i think transparency on the way in is better than endless information requests on the way out. But ill have a look at those. Before you commit yourself to doing less than you do now, it is quite common now for purchases making contracts to ensure that they can gain access to the information they are required under the freedom of information requests because their contract with the supplier allows them to do so. Right. We are beginning to find issues like the services, g. P. Services in cornwell, it was a whistleblower, it was found there were 250 occasions where the contractor lied about what he was providing. The issue around the work program that we spent some time on where there was it was very difficult to say what was what level fraud or inaccuracy meant that the provider was not fit for purpose. I
Teeth exercise, first they would not put them in at all then they put them in as an addendum and after two and a half years of going back and forth we are finally agreeing to do it right and we want you to just ignore the fact that for two years we did it wrong. As far as i can tell the document that you have been presented this is the first time that they have included 150 word summaries from other members of the public. For a while they included some of mine, but didnt include others. So it was like, mr. Hartz gets special treatment and his go in the body of the minutes, but these other people can be addendaed. They keep changing their position and changing what they want to do and what, you know, what the requirements are and at no time have they made any decision at the Library Commission stating that the example that you have is their policy Going Forward. So basically, as far as the reality goes, they could simply go back tomorrow and change these right back to where they were an
The next item on the agenda is discuss. I am sorry. Good afternoon, im peter war field director executive director of la bore users and if you could identify the agenda with respect to the Public Comment. You have under item three and four, a number of items subitems, so i wanted to ask what your ground rules would be for Public Comment. Is there three minutes for each item, for example, 3, a, 3 b, or is it some other rule that you should in mind . And we will open that up for views from my fellow commissioners. My thought was that we would take Public Comment after each subitem. That is my understanding. That makes sense. Okay. Thank you very much. You are welcome. The next item on the agenda is discussion and possible action on matters submitted under Chapter Three of the Ethics Commission regulations for violations of the sunshine ordinance. Three a is regarding ethics complaint month 0 no, 03120402 and the complainant is ray hartz and the respondent herrea. And we present them with
I am seeing these amendments for the first time now and i dont have time to talk to community folks, so i will not be supporting these amendments today. I am also seeing these amendments and hearing this discussion for the first time. First and foremost as we said before, i would absolutely want an analysis of what the current legislation has visavis what supervisor wiener is amending. At the moment of hearing the discussion, i am inclined to support this, but i would like to really understand the numbers. And if we could see potentially even a pro forma of what one of these projects would look like, of what we are providing to housing and transit. I think that would make sense. I do think longer term, and i know our colleagues, my colleagues appreciate this. We have to figure out how to resolve these issues, so were not pitting housing versus transit and i think it entails in part a longer conversation about how we found a woefully inadequately funded transit system. But at least as t
