november , and that s satisfied. i think this, mr. chairman, ought to be on the january calendar, and the way that miss pelham is scheduling these matters, it s for discussion and/or vote, correct. yes. again, it s up to the commissioner direction as to what you would like to see. so i have a process direction to the city attorney. as this item is agendaized, is it and i think staff is asking for policy direction, so could we discuss i m assuming the answer is yes, but i wanted to clarify. could we discuss, as a body, whether or not as a policy matter we wanted to pursue this item now? we don t have to wait until the january meeting to discuss it? well, i mean, it sounds like the questions are sort of how you want to proceed from a priority perspective, so you know, i think you could give advice about how how you wanted staff to, you know, to prioritize the different item., and i think also, just some substantive discussion, as well. thank you. so if we could,
reinvent the wheel and she does something and goes down the track and we re trying to play catch up or undo or mitigate the things that she s been doing so that if we can join forces and work collaboratively together to create a holistic review and assessment and changes moving forward, i think that would be something that that would be important to me. president keane: maybe if you both can think of that before friday s meeting and sort of brief us on any thoughts that you have as to how we should approach supervisor kim regarding those things. certainly. we can definitely provide you with some preliminary remarks. president keane: that s great. so switching over to page 4, the other planned projects, again, these were sort of things, again, why we sort of need to revisit our where you would like us to focus our attention going forward because we have the annual policy plan that had these items setup. we ve had to push them back a couple times now. i think these are
on the record. next, disclosure of bidding information. where do you find that in section 1126. i d have to refer to my colleague on that one. they have three, which refers any respective party to a contract shall, by the submission of a proposal for such contract. the word proposal may need changes, as i pointed out today to our executive director, because a proposal, to me, means an rfp response, not a competitive bid, but there s no reference to a competitive bid there. is there? i m happy to have debbie speak to bullet point number three. why is that? why is that? yeah. because she knows this issue better than i do. all right. thank you, mr. chairman. yeah, where s the competitive bidding? is. the staff drafted this. i know the staff drafted it. the ordinance which was approved last month. yes. if i may make sure i get suppose we re now asked to approve again this month, but where is the competitive bidding in that section 1126? it s no
sheriff, and the sheriff said no, you re permitted to have a sign, and it can t be larger than a certain size. but no, you sat there with a straight face and set to his face, you can t have signs. that s the rules. you talk a lot about stuff you absolutely no nothing about. you all took sunshine ordinance training? ha! i doubt if any of you has ever even read that law, and yet, you sign a statement every year saying you understand. yeah, you understand it only to the point where you don t like it because it holds you accountable, and if there s one thing that nobody is able to do in this city is hold anybody accountable, and that s the way you like it. and that s why you don t bite the hand that feeds you; in other words, the body that appoints each and every one of you to this commission. president keane: we ll go now to item 10, discussion of the executive director s report. i have a brief report for you, commissioners. we continue with our organizational or staffing
i don t think any of them have been modified for sometime, and they will need updating and will require updating if and when the anticorruption ordinance passes. and then, the third item, again, as commissioner chiu just highlighted, we need to do a more comprehensive review and determine whether and/or what changes, if any, need to be made. how well our public finance system is working, and how well public financing systems there s a whole sort of body of policy documents and case law that have sort of made some changes as to how people are looking at public financing, so we really need to look at how our system s working in the current sort of regime that exists. we certainly have a number of localities to look at to see which and how certain other systems are operating, and so again, i think we need to really get into that. it s an important issue, in addition to sort of the what people call the supply side restrictions of campaign finance, restricting people s dollars
