Agree with, does she have the power to veto it . Thats another question that youll look into . Thank you. Supervisor preston. Thank you. And along similar lines, just understanding better the process if we were to amend one of these supplemental what that process would be. And whether the ball then goes back to the mayor or that becomes the final order. And i want to say that i appreciate supervisor peskin teasing this out a bit and i think just to observe that we have a number of things right now that are both the subject of mayoral supplemental orders and parallel legislation moving in this body. And so to the extent that we have the authority in this process to amend more efficiently we can sort of merge those efforts for the board to weigh in. But i think that its critically important that we understand what that process is moving forward. Supervisor peskin. Through the president to deputy City Attorney pearson, i know that you have the hardest job with a new client that happens to
Thank you for your patience, without objection the chair is authorized to declare recess of the committee at any time. This hearing is entitled holding wells fargo accountable, examining the role of the board of directors in the banks egregious pattern of consumer abuses i now recognize myself for four minutes to give an Opening Statement. Today we receive testimony from ms. Elizabeth duke and mr. James quigley who until earlier this week served as chair of the board of directors of wells fargo and company and Wells Fargo Bank respectively. Both have resigned after our call for their resignations following the release of a scathing majority staff report on wells fargos compliance failures and their individual failures as Board Members. But their resignations do not absolve them of their failures. Directors at wells fargo and institutions across this country must understand that they are the last line of defense when it comes to protecting their companys shareholders, employees and cust

And it appears on the march 10, 2020 agenda unless otherwise stated. Mr. Clerk, call item number 1. Clerk a motion directing the clerk of the board to initiate a request for proposals process for special Investigation Services. Thank you. Supervisor haney, as a sponsor of this measure, the floor is yours. Thank you, chair marr, and good morning, everyone. I think that this is, you know, obviously a very challenging time for our city right now with multiple departments who have been implicated in a larger investigation. Clearly, you know, charges that have been levied by the u. S. Attorney against individuals in government and outside. And it is critical that we do everything that we can to investigate fully, prevent any future fraud or corruption, and to do everything that we can to restore the public trust.

This is only through compassion with the public, and particularly the public who have the hardest choices and clarity around your values that you are going to be able to make the tough calls to deal with the tradeoffs necessary to approve a budget that is balanced, that delivers the service that San Francisco needs, and that deliv
