by a clear explanation of the reasoning behind them.
Individuals with the greatest practical influence on public projects are not always elected officials or department heads. Increasingly they may be consultants, contract professionals, retired annuitants, or temporary staff. The public should have confidence that disclosure obligations are applied consistently regardless of employment classification
I encourage the Council to ask staff to provide additional information regarding the methodology used to assign disclosure categories and how disclosure determinations for consultants and similarly situated personnel are documented and made available for public review.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Henry Soong
