FYI, people watching the stream of this meeting online cannot hear the public comment that is being offered via phone.
I am writing to you today to suggest ideas on improving the collaboration between the FPPC and local filing officials. To improve access to information and transparency of AB1170 affected filers, I would suggest the commission explore this option: Offer a data exchange between the FPPC filing system and the system of the local jurisdiction; thus, allowing for expanded statements to be electronically filed that meet local jurisdictions’ electronic filing. The exchange had come a long way since first implemented. This can increase access to information and transparency. Most community members are accustomed to the local filing official having the original filing of filers within its jurisdiction. By offering a data exchange we would be able to continue to offer copies of these forms as soon as filed. If this idea is implemented, it could potentially save on cost, time, and resources for the filer, the FPPC, and the local filing officer.
