Rules Committee approves amendments to conflict-of-interest code, continues ordinance one week
Summary
The committee approved late amendments to an ordinance updating Form 700 filing requirements under the Political Reform Act and continued the matter one week for finalization.
President Mandelmann summarized the item as a routine, biennial update required by the Political Reform Act to San Francisco's conflict-of-interest code and Form 700 filing requirements. The ordinance would add, delete, or change titles of certain designated officials to reflect organizational and staffing changes and refine disclosure requirements.
Deputy City Attorney Brad Russi told the committee that departments reviewed positions and duties and proposed updates. "There are some minor amendments," Russi said, identifying three substantive changes included in late amendments: on page 2 an addition of the Commission Streamlining Task Force (approved under Prop E in November), on page 9 an addition and deletion among assessor-recorder filers, and on page 39 an addition for San Francisco Unified School District filers. Because the amendments were substantive, the committee continued the matter to the next week's meeting to allow final consideration.
No members of the public spoke on the item. President Mandelmann moved to adopt the circulated amendments; the committee adopted them and then unanimously voted to continue the amended ordinance to the next meeting. The roll call recorded Vice Chair Cheryl, aye; Member Mandelmann, aye; Chair Walton, aye.
The committee did not specify exact job titles beyond the pages referenced in the amendment packet, and no dollar figures or policy impacts beyond reporting duties were discussed during the meeting.
