it all started with a book written by a burn survivor called people who shun the sunshine. in this took, the lady expressed difficulties going back to society after her injury and their ejection seat -- the rejection she faced not only in the workplace but in society. a group of people after reading this book were very touched. they decided to start a movement to raise funds to establish this foundation because they found these people with facial disfigurement had been left out. they were not considered disabled enough, but they were not considered normal enough either. so they were not receiving adequate welfare services and their rights were discriminated against. at is how the foundation started and the movement was ordinary people who came together and donated. it is a very grassroots. >> the sunshine foundation started international exchanges and cooperative programs back in 2006. what were the motivations and reasons the sunshine foundation wants to be engaged internationally? >> you can look at it into different phases. we started going abroad and dissenting papers.

sunshine is more than that. they have systems in place. >> based on your experience, what would be some of the characteristics or qualities that are needed to do the similar kinds of work that you do now? >> do you mean working in the international aspect or with facial disfigurement? >> what would be some of the things -- do they need to be specialized or do they need to have extra attention with the people to deal with? >> nonprofit organizations in taiwan really need professionals. sometimes you need a very specific knowledge the problem is everything is very democratic. when you have professional people coming in, you can have difficulties and face small problems. if people are interested in working in nonprofit organizations, you have to be professional and the same time, you have to be open- minded and be able to accept different points of view and different ways of thinking and doing things. >> finally, if you were asked to use one word or phrase to describe your work experience at sunshine, what would it

that it does not track the sunshine, or the complaint and the sunshine task force referal to us. >> so i am really interesting my fellow commissioners to help with this. >> as i recall when there was a complaint against the park and rec department it was against ginsberg who was ahead and against one of the board members. >> and it seemed to me that here,... >> was it against them, or was it against park and rec and they... >> they were named personally. >> okay. >> as i recall, in the proceedings, they appeared personally, because they were charged. >> and here, i would think that if there is any evidence that miss patterson was instructed to do something by someone at the arts commission, that if she acted in her capacity as whatever her employment was, she acted in it and it is really the... i think that it is not the figment of the arts commission. it is the employee who had the responsibility and who reacted in a certain way. >> i think that i largely agree with that. except that i would be a little bit more general. i think that if you sent, the commission has the freedom in my m

because the sunshine... ordinance does require some summary of public comments. i have taken complaints about the comments when they gave five words on that hearing for my comments. incomprehensive and not even a sentence and that is all that they gave the electronic frontier. >> and he said those and that was represented as his. and if you listen to any library commission meeting and even the smallest requests of collections that would be simple, or even to correct or in some case to reverse a backwards meeting are ignored routinely and it is seldom that they make a change. last sentence of 67-16 was an added thing. and 150-word summaries were added as proposition g to strengthen the sunshine ordinance originally passed some years earlier presumably because they recognize that without the public's opportunity to speak in their own voice. as i well know and mr. hartz and otherwise know has happened and to the library has played all kinds of games to say that they are knocking the doors and to make the document and they need to be in the minutes as the sunshine or

so i don't recall it does not say in her letter to the sunshine task force whether it was an idr. and so, i don't know. >> for the record, what is the time requirement for the request? >> the business day the following day. >> thank you. >> >> i appreciate that. >> i said that i will ask you the same question when or after you have presented unless you want to incorporate it. >> you can have it. >> i think that we have it. >> thank you. >> may i answer the question, because it is right here in your packet. >> you may incorporate it in your comments or answer it afterwards, it is up to you. >> all right. >> may i answer the question she asked it, it is right here in the packet. >> well, it is your turn to present. >> i don't want to spend my time on this issue. >> then i will ask you at the end. >> right now as the chair said your time is running now. >> mr. warfield. >> we are going to hear from the complainant now. >> that will be you. >> thank you for calling me madam chair. as a said in the public comment, i think that this is an out rage that you are doing here now with respec

that is the authority that the sunshine task force has. does the city attorney have the ability to over or to review and override those? yes he does, but he needs to give a legal justification he can't just say which he did in the case of 150-word summaries i say my opinion is different. he did not site any law or any statue or any justification, i will go back to mr. hur's argument i will now send all of my idr and my information requests and anything that i have directly to the department head and specifically with the department head because that is the person who receives annual sunshine training and annual sunshine declaration and has the responsibility as the department head to insure everyone in the department follows the law. if someone does not follow the law, it is his or her responsibility. i was in the navy, in the submarine service, for 12 years and one lesson that we learned is that delegation is not advicati. on. >> if you named the director or the head of the department they are the ones who are responsible either directly

the sunshine task force says that we should. or whether the agency head is saying i understand that you did not provide them in the first place but now that we have an order from another city, body, saying that we ought to, does that move out to the agency taking responsibility for determining what the privacy issue is? my knowledge of organization behavior suggests that the agency had maybe been involved. that the agency had or may be involved. i am interested in the gentleman that probably know more about the organizational and corporate responsibility and there is a fact question that we may want to ask and they both seem eager to say something. >> would i say that, i see your point. and i think that if we were to find that there was such a violation, it would not be against miss patterson herself. if the arts commission said that who is miss patterson and we didn't think that she is coming to represent us. we would be binding the artses commission and not her personally. >> that does not seem to be the words that are in fron

waiting for the sunshine? >> like yesterday. at noon with will mostly see the sunshine but longer at the coast. good morning, everyone, it could be july but the june gloom is waiting for you on live doppler 7 hd as we put the satellite on their, but, notice, drizzle, we do not is so much this morning as yesterday morning so the air is more dry and the winds will kick up this afternoon at 1:00 o'clock to 9:00, with west wind on san francisco and through the delta communities around 15- to 25nots. if you are kicking off early and taking the boat out it will be harder to get around. sunshine at walnut creek, and the east bay valley, they will have the cloud cover nearly not so much as the rest of us. this weekend we will have clouds in the morning and sunny in the afternoon and the sunshine will be here an hour quicker leading to a minimal warming trend away the coast with temperatures below average and low 80's at gilroy and elsewhere. senator that cruz -- santa cruz. 60 at half moon bay with partly sunny conditions and more cloud

the sunshine ordinance task force and its finding original finding, 1154, said, under findings of fact and conclusions of the law, the task force further noted that the statement should be within the body of the minutes to prevent the public officials from unlawfully abridging unwanted or critical public comment, which is specifically impermissible under the brown act and the sunshine ordinance. what has changed, well, last time we had three cases 10054, in january of 2011, and then we had 1154 and, then we had 1171, specifically against the city attorney saying that the task force disagreed with him and found him in violation. and now one thing that i would like to point out is that in your staff report the followings, it was listed. >> to quote, to-date, the task force has not issued any policy advice to city departments regarding compliance of sunshine ordinance, section 6716 and on the website the task force directs users to the good government guide as a legal reference. that is false. here is a letter issued in 2012, may 17th to be exact to the city attorney explaining all of the

we'll definitely get the sizzling sunshine, hazy sunshine. the humidity will continue with us. all this heat and humidity, go have the possibility for maybe an isolated shower or storm to pop up in the forecast but all in all we should stay mainly dry as we go through time. let me show you the time stamp. this will be today in the evening time frame. we're talking about dry times. it's going to be miserable so make sure you come prepared. you want to have all your fluids. h2o is the best thing to combat the heat and make sure you seek plenty of shade as you head out occurring the day -- during the daytime. as we go towards wednesday, we'll see more of the same. an isolated shower possible but mainly dry skies. for today that temperature coming in at 95 degrees. it's going to be hot. it's going to be humid by tonight mostly clear, muggy, uncomfortable. the temperature coming in at 75 degrees. this is what we're looking like as we head toward tomorrow. the temperature coming in at 96 degrees. it's going to be hotter and more humid and the heat index up to about 105. be prepared.

each day we get sunshine an our quicker so each day will be warmer. from mount tamalpais this morning, looking down from 2,600 feet on the cool whip, temperatures about the same as yesterday so hope you enjoyed yesterday so today will not be different, everyone one to two degrees of where they were during the afternoon hours on thursday. temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70's in the south bay to low 80's around los gatos and morgan hill and gilroy at 76 in santa clara and 72 in santa cruz and sunshine there. 65 in millbrae and let to mid-70's for the let of the peninsula and half moon bay is the cool spot and 60 and low-to-mid 60's around downtown and south san francisco and sausalito 66, and low-to-mid 70's through the north bay and mid-to-upper 60's along the east bay shore in union city, fremont, around 70 and low-to-upper 80's in the east bay valleys. the seven-day forecast shows one to two degrees difference on saturday and sunday and cooler on monday and back to average on tuesday and wednesday. >> if you are coming down southbound to 80 we are h

that means more sunshine, more sunshine you guessed it temperatures are going up. we are on hump day wednesday. san jose mainly sunny skies outside right now. our temperatures are climbing but nothing compared to the heat that we're seeing for much of the country. look at these numbers. concord 81. livermore 78. san francisco only 61 san jose 76. warmer in the comfort zone. but new york city is 97. las vegas 103 and humid. phoenix 107. billings, montana, 82. big time heat back east because of a different ridge of high pressure. we're going to be warming up because of this one, one that actually impacted us about a week ago then moved off to the east. moved away from us now back for a second trip a repeat performance if you will. as it moves back in, it limits the onshore flow. the ocean is always cold. we get a flow from there, it's going to be chilly and foggy. if we can limit that, we'll warm up because of the strong july sunshine. that will last from tomorrow through sunday above normal with less fog and more sunshine. top of next week the low pressure comes bac

. >> is it better in two in >> i read the sunshine ordinance, 67.26. only deals with redaction. and it does not deal with whether or not the redactions are appropriate. >> that has nothing to do with 67.26. >> 67.27, is the one that focuses on whether this reduction was proper. all right? and so, that one could one, and i am not sure that we have a basis for saying whether the redaction was proper. because the city attorney is saying, yeah you can redact it, and the sunshine task force saying that we don't i think that it is appropriate and he is saying that somebody address is not private information. and it may or may not be, it has been... the individuals involved. and but the point is, it seems to me that the clearly they did not follow 67-26 in making the redactions. they did not follow the procedure in doing it. >> well, then i will suggest that we do two separate motions then. >> we have a motion with commissioner renne? >> how can you say that 677-26 does not apply to what you can and whether you have withheld too much or not. no record shall be withheld unless all of th

check out the sunshine. this is the area, the east bay valley, that see the lack of clouds this morning. it is an area that is below average, livermore, about three degrees cooler than average and same for napa. the temperatures are just about average. mid-to-upper 90's around sacramento and chico and 104 in fresno. 83 in tahoe and 83 in los angeles and 114 in palm springs. morning commute after a holiday? >> busy. the drive time from dublin/pleasanton is an hour and 680 southbound and pleasanton is 14 minutes to 82, slow because of a grass fire on the freeway. 101 southbound from san francisco to sfo, 12 minutes gets you through. outside to sky 7, this is the bay bridge toll plaza looking busy indeed. you can see all the cars bumping up moving through the tolls and to the bridge but it is at least 15 minutes headed away from the maze and to the toll plaza but it eases up beyond treasure island. we could learn today if the new span of the bay bridge will open labor day weekend or be delayed. the committee is

sunshine as we look from walnut creek over 680. you are going to warm up nicely, as well, today because we will get to near normal numbers later on this afternoon. santa rosa 54. it's been foggy there this morning. novato 57. here's a look, as well, from the exploratorium cam. you heard carolyn say free tickets to teachers, so take advantage of that. you might want to go especially over the summer. it should be great, all the new exhibits. low clouds and morning fog. you know the pattern. very typical for bay area weather. sunny this afternoon and then cooler and breezy tomorrow. that's a change come our way. we will show you the forecast model which shows quite a bit of change in the next couple hours. that's when things pull back to the coast. then by lunchtime sunshine for almost everyone, except along the coast where temperatures will be near 60 degrees. 70s along the bay, and low 90s inland once again. the south bay, pretty mild in santa clara at 80 degrees. morgan hill 87. lower peninsula, nice day over all. 70 redwood city,

we look at downtown oakland and slow sunshine and cooler-than-average temperatures but today is the last day. tonight it will be one of the last nights and clouds and mist. warming begins tomorrow translating into calmer nights. temperatures in the mid-70's for a lot of the south bay. cupertino and san jose and los gatos upper 70's to near 80. low-to-mid 70's on the peninsula this afternoon, and 68 in millbrae one of the last to see sunshine and 60 at half moon bay is the warm spot and 62 in downtown and 65 in south san francisco and 63 in sausalito and upper 60's to low 70's in your valleys with upper 50's at director beach and headed to the east bay valley it took never to get sunshine around berkeley and richmond and oakland so you are

few peeks of sunshine in san jose. drizzle at the coast. cooler weather on tap and this is below average. things will change by the middle of the week but not a lot warmer. we're talking more average temperatures for late july and into august as we begin august. here is the reason why the marine layer has been with us so extensively. as the weak low moves closer to southern california and here is the week ahead in san jose with a cool start on monday. your warmest day looks about friday and then dropping a bit towards next weekend. nothing extreme but we are still looking at the showers and thunderstorms here as area of low pressure spins. and 95, risks of thunder and mt. shasta could see a few thunderstorms. 64 in monterey. back home, 25 degree spread from our coast to our inland east bay, 85 in livermore. 72 in richmond and santa cruz coming in with afternoon sun at 72. game is 6:00 tonight for the giants and hopefully they can do something. dropping to the ao7s and sun setting at 8:23. it will be breezy and gray will be back. temperature

the coast will see more sunshine, as well. look how quiet it is as the public of moisture is moving to the north and off to the east. as you head to the sierra, no need to worry about flooding with a stray shower but partly cloudy and 83 at tahoe and mid-90's to low 100's and 67 in monterey. safe travel. >> the story now is just about a few crashes but mostly it is congestion and a couple of stalled cars but as we look right now as our drive time traffic from highway 4 from antioch is 15 minutes and westbound from four to the maze is 16 minutes and 18 minutes 87 northbound to the san jose airport is ten minutes and to the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights are on, a beautiful sky and very busy from emeryville to san francisco. and checking out the maze, the macarthur maze, that is what traffic is like before the toll plaza so it is loading up with the tail lights headed in the when you hit the westbound direction. >> and now if you are convicted of crimes you can pay to stay in a hotel rather than the jail. in fre

you guys have dragged your feet on sunshine issues for literally a decade. and it went on and on and on and on and on and on. and as it is, even though the law specifically says that the complaints have to be heard in 45 days, it usually takes 6 to 9 months to he even get your first hearing and then to subcommittee and then round and round in circles and then you drag it on for six months and a year and now you are sitting here saying oh, this is really terrible. we are having to delay our procedure and what exactly are you having to suffer? you are suffering nothing because you are just not hearing it. if you really don't mind, waiting literally years to complainants to bring cases before you, why should you now use that discuss as one that you just can't wait any longer? >> i can think of a lot of unfortunate words to explain that but i would like to hear any of you try to justify that. >> the civil grand jury send you a sleeping watch dog and pointed out the fact that the only case that you have ever handled that was referred to you by the task force and

when the very first claim that i filed in the sunshine ordinance task force against the city attorney i requested confidencalty, and he wrote a letter back to several people listing my name and saying that it is ridiculous to consider mr. hartz should be confidential because everybody knows who filed the complaint. so if he respects confidentiality, why didn't he respect mine? >> okay, any further public comment? >> call to the question? >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> passes unanimously. and if you would like to hear it one more time i will let you read it back to you. >> we have found that the following, commission has found that the arts commission did not comply with the requirements of section 67-26 in making its redactions. without providing the appropriate notice and justification. >> thank you. >> so now, is there a third part? >> there may be, and there may not be support for this on the commission. but i do to me i think that it is important to also say that the respondent has met the burden pursuant of 67-26 of establishing that the information that was
