The City of San Francisco's recent government meeting took a somber turn as officials announced the passing of Commissioner Scott, who died in April. The news was shared by Vice President Howe, who expressed condolences and noted that the executive director would pay tribute to Scott's contributions during her report.

In addition to this heartfelt announcement, the meeting also addressed a change in the agenda. The board decided to postpone the discussion on the staff recommendation for the Medicare Advantage fully insured PPO, originally scheduled for item number 9. This item will now be heard at the next meeting in June, allowing for a fuller board presence, including the swearing-in of new members.

The meeting proceeded with a roll call confirming a quorum, despite the absence of some commissioners. The public was invited to participate in general comments, with a notable increase in online engagement expected. This meeting highlights the ongoing commitment of San Francisco's government to address both community health needs and the importance of honoring public service.
