Does anybody on the commission have questions for the budget analyst . Not really, no. Was it mr. Cunningham . I look forward to working with mr. St. Croix and well see where we go. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. I have a question. Commissioner hayon. When you say there are things that you would like to get done, that you arent to get done currently, what are some of these issues. We have two extremely competent investigators, but we could do more with more. Right now we audit all candidates and random sampling of all candidates and eventually i think we should be able to audit every single candidate. Auditing is one of the most effective tools we have, anticorruption tools. And we want to continue to provide the services to the public in overseeing. The audits that we do right now are taking longer. Were trying to do more, but the mayoral audits, for e

Discussions and deliberations relating to the matter that was discussed in confidential session, keep that confidential . That is perhaps not the most el eloquent motion i have ever made.

Violation of the sunshine ordinance . I move that we find that the failure to release these documents was not a willful failure a willful violation of the sunshine ordinance. Is there a second . Second. All in favor . Aye. Opposed . Motion passed. I also want to say in response it to a number of the members of the public that i understand the frustration with not being able to see what we get to see, what the Controllers Office sees, and what the commissioner itself sees.

We need to protect whistleblowers and need to protect people who talk to Commission Investigators and controllers investigators, in order to try to make this system work. So i dont think im al

Well there was one another thing and darned if i can find it now. I will try to find it and communicate it to staff, but just minor typographical things. I did try to read the minutes. Thank you. Is there a motion to adopt the minutes as amended by mr. Pilpel . So moved. Second. All in favor . Aye. Opposed . Hearing none, next item on the agenda is the executive directors report. I just want to throw one thing on top of the report. During Public
