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].

Reference, you know, specific areas of the sunshine ordinance has really been its going to be a big loss to the task force to not have him there. So, i wanted to start with those two things. I think one of the things that i feel that i bring to the task force that maybe is different than other people is that im a parent of three Young Children and its a different point of view than a lot of other members have. Im not sure how many of the other Task Force Members have children of Elementary School age and of kindergarten age. So, a lot of times when issues come before the task force, i can think of things specifically around rec and park where there is issues around the appropriate disclosure or what personal information should be redacted or not. You know, i was kind of wondering, well, if my child find out before i sign my child up for rec and park summer camp, is that information should that be clarified, sign up for rec and park summer camp, does that information mean it should be t
