For seats 6 and 7 and i dont think should be on the Sunshine Task force. There are a number of issues that have been raised here, mediation. Unfortunately weve had secretive process and no public description of outcomes. It is antitheyth cal to sunshine. The City Attorney has often provided ~ absolutely wrong advice to the Sunshine Task force. Open government is important to you as well as supervisors because that is your only way for check and balances to be looking at what the administrative departments are doing. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors. Dr. Derek kerr [speaker not understood]. Two years ago supervisors wiener, chiu, [speaker not understood] lead a campaign to purge the Sunshine Task force. They wanted to get rid of those who determined that a committee of supervisors had violated the sunshine ordinance, while approving the park Merced Development deal. [speaker not understood] a pretext to justify the purge, namely, the innocent merger of the bylaws of the task force
To appoint. ~ its we bring this up all the time. Im also looking at the, if this is the correct record, of who missed meetings and so forth. It looks like at least for a while, theres always been a quorum so im not sure what people are saying. On this sheet, started 612, 6612, theres never been more than looks like two people that were absent from the meeting. There are some overlaps in regards to the people you named. For seat 6 i would also reappoint david pilpel. Seat 8, todd david. Seat 10 Louise Fischer. On my people that i felt comfortable with would be for seat 1 mark rumold, seat 2ali winston, seat 5 allyson washburn, and seat 9 chris hyland. So, the ones i actually named were all reappointments or they are specific to a group. Thats what i would like to move forward with. So it appears that we are in agreement on three appointments today and unfortunately there are only two of us. So, it looks like david pilpel seat 6, [speaker not understood] fishier [speaker not understood].
Gonna set the night on Fire Task Force fire make it happen thank you. applause good afternoon. My name is jeffery king. I am a First Amendment lawyer specializing in [speaker not understood] Government Matters. I am a journalist who is an enthusiastic and frequent utilizer of the California Public records act and the San Francisco sunshine ordinance. A huge part of [speaker not understood] which includes open Government Matters and, of course, im here in my capacity as the freedom of Information Committee, [speaker not understood] society of professional journalists which i served since 2011. And im here to voice the committee of strong support or strongest support of mark rumold. As you heard from mark, he is an attorney with the Electronic Frontier foundation, a position that he has held for the past four years a a legal fellow and now staff attorney. What he did not tell you is that he was not only qualified for this position. Hes one of the leading open Government Experts in this c
Shaw and im also advocating that you separate item 14 from [speaker not understood] consideration of all of these matters. Last december 7th i wrote to the board of supervisors Neighborhood Services and Safety Committee of which supervisor yee and supervisor campos were then both assigned to that committee. And i submitted testimony to you this morning. Im not sure it repeats the testimony i presented in december. The city controller has noted and advised the citizens general Obligation Bond Oversight Committee the unspent funds from bond measures which [speaker not understood] by way of recoupment is a policy matter for the board of supervisors to decide how that money is going to be used. It does not need to be deposited directly into the general fund and my strong recommendation is that the mayor, 21 of the 70 million that the city attempted to recover, just 15 million being recovered. Be used in one of three ways or a portion of it in all three ways. One, you should be paying down
