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.

Able to see what we get to see, what the Controllers Office sees, and what the commissioner itself sees. These investigations are factintensive. The commissioner spends a lot of time on them, and i would really like for you to be able to know and to prove that to you. We are bound by rules of nondisclosure. We are bound by the charter and state law and there is good reason for confidentialitis, i think as i set at the last meeting. We need to protect whistleblowers and need to protect people who talk to Commission Investigators and controllers investigators, in order to try to make this system work. So i dont think im alone in that. Next item on the agenda is discussion and possible action on the Ethics Commission budget. Mr. St. Croix, would you like to introduce this matter . So the numbers break down as before you in the memo. We have been asked in the past several budget years due to difficulties with city budget to make cuts so substantial that would prove damaging to the commissi
