P2167 CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DENNIS J. HERRERA MARC PRICE WOLF City Attorney Deputy City Attorney Direct Dial: (415) 554-3901 Email: marc .price. wolf@sfcityatty .org MEMORANDUM TO: Sunshine Ordinance Task Force FROM: Marc Price Wolf Deputy City Attorney DATE: June 21, 2018 RE: Complaint No. 18037- Amos Brown and NAACP v. Supervisor Hillary Ronen COMPLAINT Complainants Reverend Dr.Amos Brown and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ("Complainants") allege that Supervisor Hillary Ronen violated provisions of the Sunshine Ordinance and Cal. Gov't Code Section 54950 et seq. ("the Brown Act") by failing to make all meetings of any policy body open and public by holding a seriatim or serial meetings prior to the commencement of the January 23, 2018 Board of Supervisors meeting ("the Meeting"). COMPLAINANT FILES THIS COMPLAINT On April6, 2018, Complainants filed this complaint with the Task Force alleging that Ms. Ronen violated provisions of the Sunshine Ordinance and the Brown Act relating to the notice and protocol of public meetings. JURISDICTION The Board of Supervisors is a policy body under the Ordinance. The Task Force therefore generally has jurisdiction to hear a complaint of a violation of the Ordinance against the Board. The Commission has not contested jurisdiction. APPLICABLE STATUTORY SECTION(S) Section 67 of the San Francisco Administrative Code: • Sections 67.3 and 67.5. Section 54950 et seq. Cal. Gov't Code (Brown Act) • Sections 54952.2, 54953.3, 54954, 54954.2, and 54954.3 BACKGROUND On April6, 2018, Reverend Dr. Amos Brown, President of the SF NAACP, notified the SOTF that he wanted to file a complaint with the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force against Mark Farrell, Aaron Peskin, Hilary Ronen, Norman Yee, Sandra Fewer, Jane Kim, and Jeff Sheehy (collectively "Supervisors").

Supervisor Hillary Ronen The complaint alleges that the Supervisors held serial meetings or a seriatim meeting about the appointment of an interim mayor before the January 23, 2018, Board of Supervisors Meeting, during which Supervisor Farrell was appointed Interim Mayor. The complaint relies on information printed in the January 28, 2018, San Francisco Chronicle Article, "Unusual Pairing of Supervisors Helped Unite Majority of Board Against Breed"; the January 24, 2018 48hills.org article, "Farrell as Mayor: How Did This Happen?"; and the January 23, 2018 Missionlocal.org article, "Mark Farrell is Your New Mayor- and Pandemonium Ensues." Supervisors Fewer, Peskin, Ronen, and Yee each wrote letters to the SOTF denying any wrongdoing. A legislative aide for Supervisor Sheehy wrote an email to the SOTF acknowledging receipt of the complaint and stating that his office was awaiting further instructions. QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT ASSIST IN DETERMINING FACTS • Did a majority of the Supervisors meet to discuss the substance of any policy issues, including the appointment of an interim mayor, before the January 23, 2018 Board of Supervisors meeting? • Can the Complainants provide any evidence that the substance of an agenda item/policy issue/appointment of an interim mayor was discussed before the January 23, 2018 Board of Supervisors meeting? LEGAL ISSUES/LEGAL DETERMINATIONS • Should any of the alleged discussions between members of the Board of Supervisors before the January 23, 2018 meeting be defined as a policy body meeting under Administrative Code Section 67.3? • Did any of the Supervisors violate the Brown Act by holding a seriatim meeting or serial meetings?

    Name Office Sought Website Catherine Stefani District 2 Supervisor SupervisorStefani.com What San Francisco street/intersection would you choose for an epic street party and why? Union Street! The Union Street Music Festival is one of my favorite annual celebrations and definitely qualifies as an epic street party, even at 42 years old. Please list the 3 endorsements you are most proud of: I’m proudest of the dozens of neighborhood leaders who have endorsed my campaign. A full list is available at supervisorstefani.com/endorsements. What are the top three issues you will work on, and how will you implement solutions in a timely manner? (1250 character limit) As Supervisor, my top priorities have been public safety, homelessness, and quality of life issues. As a member of the Budget and Finance Committee, I have successfully advocated for increased funding for police staffing and street cleaning services. Outside of the budget process, I have worKed tirelessly to ensure that community members, including our small businesses, have a seat at the table when it comes to projects that may impact them. By increasing funding for these vital services and making sure that there is adequate community outreach for large infrastructural upgrades, for example, I can ensure that solutions to some of our greatest challenges proceed without delay. What for-profit or non-profit boards do you serve on, including political organizations? Before becoming a member of the Board of Supervisors, I served on the board of the Homeless Prenatal Program and as Vice President of the Cow Hollow Association.

    ETHICS COMMISSION CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO NOREEN AMBROSE July 21, 2020 By Electronic Mail CHAIR Honorable Mayor London Breed YVONNE LEE VICE-CHAIR City and County of San Francisco Honorable Chair Sandra Lee Fewer, DAINA CHIU Honorable Members: Shamann Walton, Rafael Mandelman, Hillary Ronen, and Norman Yee COMMISSIONER Board of Supervisors, Budget and Appropriations Committee FERN M. SMITH Dear Mayor Breed and Members of the Board, COMMISSIONER I write to convey the Ethics Commission’s strongly held view that full funding of the LARRY BUSH COMMISSIONER department’s mission is of critical importance at this time. We recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting dire economic conditions make your task of balancing the budget LEEANN PELHAM excruciating. But now more than ever, it is imperative that the public have complete EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR confidence in the honesty and efficacy of its government. The allegations of corruption, bid rigging, bribes, and malfeasance in office brought to light by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the City Attorney and Controller’s further exposure of legal and ethical violations, reflects a failure to root out wrongdoing and maintain the public trust. Cutting the Ethics Commission funding would render it unable to fully perform its core functions and initiate the remedial work that is required to fulfill our collective commitment to right these wrongs. Please don’t send that message. This Mayoral administration, the Board, Commission and the voters of San Francisco have taken significant steps to strengthen the City’s Ethics laws and practices in recent years. The Commission, Board and the Mayor approved the Anti-Corruption and Accountability Ordinance, effective January 2019.
