San Francisco Ethics Commission unanimously approves four stipulations over late filings and incompatible activity
Summary
At its June 14 meeting the Ethics Commission unanimously adopted stipulations resolving four enforcement matters involving late Form 700 filings and one inspector's board service that agency staff said created an appearance of incompatibility. Commissioners approved all motions 3-0 following staff presentations and public comment.
The San Francisco Ethics Commission on June 14 unanimously approved four stipulation-and-order settlements in matters where staff found commissioners or other public officials failed to meet disclosure or training requirements.
BC Matthews, the Commission's director of enforcement, told commissioners the cases involved failures to timely file required disclosures or to complete required trainings, plus one matter in which a Department of Building Inspection senior housing inspector served on the board of an organization (TNDC) that his department inspected. Matthews said there was no evidence the inspector received income from the board role but that serving on the board while inspecting TNDC properties created an incompatibility with department policies and warranted a penalty recommendation.
