The commission’s executive director on Oct. 7 updated members on recommendations from the Prop E Commission Streamlining Task Force, which reviewed city charter boards and commissions and issued draft recommendations on Oct. 1.

Director Maggie Weiland said the task force unanimously recommended retaining the San Francisco Entertainment Commission ‘‘in its current form’’ while proposing several governance adjustments to align the commission with broader city templates. Key recommendations include moving the commission’s establishing authority from the city charter to the administrative code (a change that staff said would require a future ballot measure), converting member removal from ‘‘for cause’’ to ‘‘at will,’’ and adopting a three‑term limit of consecutive four‑year terms (12 years total).

Weiland said the task force also recommended removing statutory seat qualifications so future appointees can be chosen for experience and expertise rather than fixed categories, and removing department‑head hiring/firing authority — meaning the mayor and city administrator would appoint the commission director while the commission retains consultative and policy oversight.

Weiland said these recommendations will feed draft legislation and potential charter amendments in early 2026 and will be presented to the mayor and Board of Supervisors by Feb. 1, 2026. She directed commissioners and members of the public to sf.gov/commissionstreamlining for the task force’s findings and next steps.
