Each of us functions independently. Were not aware of frankly were busy and not paying attention to what the other ones are doing. Other than at operations and policy and governance level so daytoday operations are left to the individuals. And one more question. Why are you on the Arts Commission to begin with . You have been on it since when . 2009. 2009. Its something that i am i found myself to be extremely passionate about. I really feel that the quality of design in the projects of civic buildings really needs to be brought to the highest level possible. These buildings are the public face as institutions for the city, and i think its very important that the city as great as San Francisco that we have truly excellent design so its an opportunity for me to contribute my thoughts and critique and work with the projected teams that come before us to try to make sure that we ....

Typically at the Arts Commission for a recusal the commissioner steps out of the room completely so theyre not present during the discussion. Does another architect stand in for an architect that recuses themselves . No. Does that put the Arts Commission at a disadvantage because of the recusal of that architect . Well, i think part of the reason why we have five is that should a recusal is necessary we have sufficient judgment there, but yes. And in terms of the sfo project what role if any would you have in that . Again because of the situation i would have recuse myself at the commission and within our firm i would have no involvement at all. Is that under normal circumstances but simply because youre on the Arts Commission . Its actually because of normality circumstances. There are three of us actually four of us ....

Is there a term on the commission . I believe its two year terms. Your answer to the questions sort of highlights the concerns about the conflict because when plans for som come before the Arts Commission for review even though you may recuse yourself the other four members know thats your company and you know you dont like to pick on your friends, and thats really what the problem is is that perception. It may be the other four can be totally independent and disregard whether relationship they have with you, but to the public particularly somebody who is skeptical of the way in which projects are parceled out and done in San Francisco its that perception that i find is whats why we have the need to make sure that everybody on the commission is independent of any possible prejudice or influence that shouldnt be in the process. Anyway any other comments . I just wanted to remi ....

I think with commissioner chow being one of five members in leadership its not apples to apples so i think it presentses a different case in this instance. This may be a question you cant answer or too difficult to answer. Was a request made by commissioner smith to write a letter of support or endorse ments and could you have . A request wasnt made and i wasnt made of that waiver request. We appreciate commissioner smiths service on the Arts Commission and we reappointed him which shows we believe his Service Benefits the city in the Arts Community so i recommend to the mayor that we support a letter in support of his waiver. Only keeping in mind there has to be i think processes put in place and those out lined by commissioner chow that would prevent conflicts from occurring. Good evening commissioners. I am directo ....

Friends, and thats really what the problem is is that perception. It may be the other four can be totally independent and disregard whether relationship they have with you, but to the public particularly somebody who is skeptical of the way in which projects are parceled out and done in San Francisco its that perception that i find is whats why we have the need to make sure that everybody on the commission is independent of any possible prejudice or influence that shouldnt be in the process. Anyway any other comments . I just wanted to remind myself and remind the commission when we reviewed this back this same general issue i guess in may with the commissioner smith we took a position on the fact that there wasnt there was just intention to move forward with the bidding process, any future bids that were out. I remember a line of questions that we asked. Are you currently seeking an rfp . No. I am interested in rfps that may be co ....
