Thank you and thank you for hearing me. You had said i have been a journalist in San Francisco for a time now with significant work at Bay City News service. San francisco Daily Journal. Examiner and sf weekly. I will say that now my current role the public records issue is in the as important as restaurant reviews. But in previous iterations of my career i have been a passionet person in investigative journalism. I worked with the San FranciscoDaily Journal on public records requests pertaining to assignment of s and saul reese. For head line, i did a story on crime rate in haze valley and then a cover story which was not public records but investigative having to deal with essential low related to the Queer Community and how instagram was related that result nothing the shut down of Significant Company from over seas.

You got another the first that is mention this to everyone the first chime is means you have 30 seconds left you have more time. Thats all i needed to say. Thank you. Why great. Gi want to express my gratitude to you for applying to this. My career in this building i have had appearances before the Sunshine Ordinance Task force. I succeedod my explanation for delays or what responses to people. Thought were insufficient or oust compliance and sometimes i lost. Well is a rule i would now that im on the board of supervisors and talked to colleagues about this. I think there is a lot of opportunity on sunshine to start working with city departments to improve efficiency. One of the things i have seen when people have sunshine requests or public records requests they are not turning quick enough that City Employees are dealing with inefficiencies within their department this really hold department heads, count okay for fix i would love the idea i will say this to everyone on the task force assumes you are approved. Open to working with us because in addition to being an advisary and quasi judicial. You often hear case and complaints. I think well is a role untapped to give guidance to the city and city departments how to improve to be transparent. No government is good when there is a transparency. The sunshine of prince pavo accountability and transparency and sunshine makes government bfrment im a believer in this and hope you will be open so i dont have questions other than am work with us i think we got a lot of work to do. Of course. This sounds like meaningful work i would love to help with. Seeing no one else. Thank you. Can we open up to Public Comment . Consider the other applicants. Im sorry. We will come become to public ment for all the applicants. Thank you.

Welcome the floor is yours. Good morning. David pilpel i think you know me limp you hear from me regularly. I think you know that i have been engaged with City Government for my entire adult life going back to as a teenager with my interests in muni. I am very supportive of access to records and as you i hope saw on my application i served on the task force 3 times before. I to the issue of working with city departments. I did work fair low closely with a number of city departments that earned some support and opposition in other quarters. I understand this there is a letter in the file opposing my application that person has consistent low opposed my service and may hear from that individual and perhaps others today. I certainly have been very engaged in Public Policy and the politics of city and that does not get you 100 support you all know that we dont elect people based on 100 support just a majority. I think the time is due and over due to reexamine the sunshine ordinance it has been 25 years since prop g was on the ballot. Passage of time that change in state luto recod fight public records act. Technology mayes huge strides. There is a lot to be discussed in terms of burdens and benefits and the task force startd that discussion i have been part of that as a member of the public. Pleaseed serve on the other side a member of the task force if this mittee and the board sees fit. Im happy to address questions you might have am thank you. Thank you, mr. Pilpel. I dont see anyone on the roster i say i appreciate the point you know we can have offer the years i have prevailod things before the task force and not and i think reasonable minds disagree i appreciate the consciousness which you serve the city and participate active in our local democracy. Seeing nobody else with questions next hear from Ruth Ferguson. Thank you, the floor is yours hello. Thank you. I am Ruth Ferguson a residents of Bernal Heights and recent graduate tr Uc Berkeley SchoolPublic Policy received i masters in Public Service analysis. My First Experience with local government when i was a teen and apointsed a task force in my small rural home town. This task force addressed the number of hate crimes. Tackled how to support my Public High School as they addressed the number of confederate energyos students personal items when the northwest chapter of the kkk came knock we thought what can we do to report residents should the group establish a headquarters in our town. I learned lieu experience to bring in community organizations, leaders and my peers to address complex deep rooted issues. You i carry third degree experience and lessons i learned on this task force in battleground, washington throughout nile life. The issues in San Francisco may be differents this experience made mow curious and eatingtory listen to others to reach conclusions. I everas a graduate stount nightmy policy research experienced by dave cortez in san jose and focus on california star welfare. Focused on policies extensions but identifies the states legislative open records act. I see transparency and, counselability in government critical to addressing inequity. I would be thrilled to serve on the Sunshine Task force. I believe my expert eelsd be helpful in the task force i have reviewed Government Transparency models and research on the subject i would provide to be used by the task force. And as a former legislative star and public pol analyst i understand the considerations needed to address the issues and implementation challenges. Thank you, i would be grateful to answer questions you may have. Thank you so much. I appreciate the opportunity we did not have a lot of time but i think what i mentioned earlier about the work the task force can do to move the city to improve efficiency. One other thing i did in the mention, over the years i worked with tim redmon48 hill and talked about the other models that other states connecticut has a freedom of Information Department that does things. As we sort of look at things how San Francisco does things i appreciate your policy expertise and doing research on other government entities, states and locates on how they do things to make sure open government and ensure it is efficient. And seeing no one else on the roster. Appreciate, thank you very much, open this 3 appointees up to Public Comment . Members of the public when wish to speak in person lineup at this time. Those remote, dial star 3. Two minutes . Yes. This is Peter Warfield head library user association. I have comments on all 3 i had limited ability to review the material because of the short notice to my awareness. The first applicant, on seat 3 mr. Sugarman looks qualifyd and we would based on review of the materials in the file, give endorse am for his appointment to that seat or any other. For which he is qualified. The second name on the list david pilpel we give a no. We prefer zero appointments to this seat that is a guaranteed no vote on public complaints. To the appointment mr. Pilpel you have i letter that recounts serious issues in the file. From patrick shaw. And i also on in a letter in 2016 opposed his appointment dont think he has been fair to the public. Seeks to i could go in detail and glad to answer questions. Mr. Ferguson has our support based on had we have seen well is a major thing im concerned with as a potential conflict of interest that is she serves on an Advisory Committee to the City Attorney. And since the City Attorney is in the position of advising the Sunshine Task force at times disagreed with the advice and told them not to give certain advice and since the City Attorney has been brought to the task force regarding complaints they found against the City Attorney. And not our complaints im concerned about a potential conflict of interest and love to hear when she might have to say to questions i hope you will ask. Thank you. Thank you. Seeing no other persons instead room. Can we have our were first phone caller. Yes. Good morning. Patrick shaw can you hear me . Yes, we can. All right. Thank you. I strongly support Ruth Fergusons application. And i will hope that you will strong low recommend her for seat 9 over mr. Pill pelf my written testimony shows, [inaudible] also oppose the appointing mr. Pilpel to the [inaudible] for good reason.
