Is a major conduit for money from developers. Which pays a salary of that planning the commissioner. That seems to me to be right and is ripe for action legislatively of primitive conflict of interest. Secondly, theres been reference also the earth to former law and practice that identified in the voter handbook. Candidates who are the recipients of Public Campaign funds. Secondly, to a requirement if the candidate received applied for and received Public Campaign funds to engage in more than one debate. Im going to be a little bit arbitrary and suggest an asking for consideration of three debates. I think im also, consideration should be given to identifying in the voter handbook candidates who did not receive public funds, do not apply for public funds so there is complete disclosure to prospective voters. Thirdly, weve already discussed the product policy considerations and indepth discussion, there was reference to the fact that i think by a citizen who testifiedit may have been mr. Bushthat slight mala regulation is the domain of the department of elections. I agree with the comments i heard that it should be the domain of the Ethics Commission. In that same connection, there should also be some priority given in the audit policy to prior violators of any of the laws which form the subject matter of the Ethics Commission responsibility. As well as those already mentioned whoby testimony from mr. Bush as well as those who failed to identify the occupation or address in their Campaign Reporting statements. You will recall his testimony that those being the most likely violators of antilaundering laws. Fourthly, i think we should impose a deadline on ourselves or for action. Mr. Bush mentioned three months. I am going to suggest six months after a allegation or claim of violation and that i would think can be done by regulation by our own rules but anyway, the attorneys can opine on that legal point but i think we should impose regulation. Its got a be a better world ms. Pelham. Rav4 crackerjack investigators and five character characteristically attentive commissioner so its feasible. It is feasible. Lets see. I think also, and this mustthis will take maybe a charter amendment, if elected candidates successful candidate is under investigation with an investigation based upon allegations that have not been completed, that person should not be allowed to be installed in the Public Office for which the personto which the person was elected. I dont know if thats president ial but im sure research will show whether that occurs in la, new york, oakland, wherever else our responsibilities are duplicated. There was also mentioned in Public Commentary tonight the practice of city officials receiving tickets to events, entertainment events that the public must pay money to attend. I think i recall testimonythats right friends of ethics estimates that that amount to about 1 million a year in what can be characterized as lost revenues to the city to the taxpayers of this city. Because those are tickets which are not sold and they are given away to public officials. I also think we need this is a goalnight i guess its up rule maybe it is a ordinance. Document retention. Give discussed that couple of times and we had a couple of cases that involve that. But we need to finalize a document retention policy and the private self telephones and all those in intricacies. I further want us to actand i would like all of these calendared in some responsible but still sane fashionmaybe not all in april, a be some in april. Maybe some in may, i will leave it to you mr. Chairman to make that customary decision that this business of election to attend a period, before the election, those local 500 maximum contributionstheir 100 to 500. 100 you have to report. 99, you dont. But the 100 500, that should be covered. On the same basis that the law now covers requires thousand dollars or more contribution the last 10 days to be reported every day. A couple more and i will be exhausted. It was mentioned earlier today also or maybe he was in informal discussion i want to be sure its legally within the purview under the charter of the Ethics Commission, but it isnt the Ethics Commission, certainly is the board of supervisors and the Ethics Commission can make recommendations, that there be inserted in San Francisco law charter ordinance that an appointed officer or employee of the city and county of becomes a candidate for election by the people of the city and county of San Francisco to any such Public Office shall automatically forfeit their position as an employee or officer of the city and county of San Francisco. There was offhand referencei cant remember which citizens speaker tonight but the thrust was embodied in a couple of ordinances have been drafted in the board of supervisors and it gets a little bit technical but it deals with nonprofit socalled housing and Community Development entities which under a series of transactions involving loans and then sail of the property after its developed for lowIncome Housing,and i guess middle Income Housing in regular market rate housing, have the ability to participate in political campaigns with excess money. And can make donations to candidates and can make donations to urging a yes vote were no vote on ballot measures. Apparently, have done so and i will provide staff with copies of these two proposed laws. Theres a term which is employed that is called cash out proceeds. Have you ever heard of cash out proceeds . Well, its defined inill give you this little tidbit just to end it. It means in connection with any sale, transfer or refinancing of an Affordable Housing developments, any and all funds received by an owner of an Affordable Housing development that are not needed were utilized to retire existing debt or construct, visit improve or preserve your photo housing development. Something like a little profit out of a series of transactions and you use that profit to campaign so far against ballot measures or four ballot measures. Even though Public Financing is an approved or authorized for ballot measures. But its taxpayer money. Okay. I shall desist. Well, a good set of work tasks for the future commission kopp. I want to complement on you that lists. Any comments by commissioners . We would take Public Comment done. Commissioners tray heart open government. Would like you to take a look at this list. Sorry about the small type. Once you get past authorities have hard to get them all on one sheet. I have 33 orders of determination from the Sunshine Ordinance Task force relating to one of two issue. Either access to public records and denial thereof, or, interference with Public Comment at public meetings. Whether you like it or not, the sunshine ordinance is city law. Whether you like it or not, you are responsible for enforcement of this and never have done a single thing but one time. Literally, for years this law has been ignored by this body. Just like you are ignoring me for right now. The bottom line is, ive heard a lot of comments about all the task force whats up with them andreally, the comments really sound little bit ignorant. In that if you dont with the task force does when you have rules and regulations in your ownfor your own staff that tell you how to deal with complaints and how to process the complaints and how to do it, it just kind of a willful blindness. We dont like this law. We dont like people like mr. Harts coming here with 33 of these things im saying, why dont you do anything about it because it makes us look bad. It does. One attempt was made to commission kopp in previous meeting kind referred to. He says what we can make the mayor fire somebody, can we. No, you cant. But have you got the moral responsibility if you feel that someone has done something wrong to recommend to the mayor that he take some action . Or, is it something well we dont want to embarrass them the mayor because the person we are recommending you dismiss is a mayoral appointee. So we will send over the mayor and the mayor chooses not to answer will just accept that. Its all well and good to have all these peoples and all these regulations make all these processes and procedures, but if you never are able to enforce any of them very frankly, this is a question ive asked this body over and over in the last eight years. Can anybody here give me an example of anything this Ethics Commission has done that is really made this City Government more open and more honest . Im always met with a reply, theres nothing but utter silence. After you shuffle papers. You change the speed rules and is like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. Commissioners, yes, i am just overwhelmed at the fundamental changes that i feel going to take place here with it seems like genuinely interested people on the commission that are not bought and paid for. That is very good to hear. Some of the statements coming from the commissioners sound like theyre genuinely trying to expose the government which is what the sunshine ordinance was all about. It is so easy when you have a City Government structure like this to have the mayors opinion or Decision Just taken for granted and done and that is not the government by the city for the people. So, yes, very optimistic about presenting you the facts of how this doesnt work by showing you previous attempts in my complaint in my orders of determination that were in my favor yet i was not able to come to some sort of resolution with the city. This tables were closed in september of 2001 which im sure you all were aware of was a very modulus and changing time for me as thats when 9 11 happened. But the stable inhabitants predicted exactly that same time. The mayor that also [inaudible] the resolution then came out after the 9 11 attacks and said he was the only person to have advance warning of the attack. The only person in the United States that knew about the attacks and he was told, not to travel and the same person authorized the resolution evicting every equestrian in Golden Gate Park stables promising them a rebuild hated better functioning place. You can see what we got. Zero. Both okay. Hearing no further Public Comments, at this point, i will entertain a motion to adjourn. I the point of personal privilege. I want to exercise. Commissioner kopp spee was sitting in the room is the best paralegal in the city and county of San Francisco. Im going to give him his 30 seconds of pay. Bradley j cox, stand up.
