The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission elected Josh Arce to serve as commission president and Commissioner Leverone to serve as vice president following separate nomination and roll-call votes during an open meeting.

Commissioners nominated Arce for president, and the commission approved the nomination by roll call with all five commissioners voting yes. After Arce assumed the gavel, the commission took public comment and nominations for vice president; Commissioner Leverone was nominated and confirmed by roll call with all commissioners voting yes.

The votes followed the procedure announced at the start of the item: a period for public comment on each office, nominations, a vote for president, then nominations and a vote for vice president after the gavel was passed.

Commissioners spoke briefly in gratitude and recognition of outgoing leadership. Outgoing President Stacy thanked colleagues and staff for their work; the incoming president, Arce, thanked the commission and pledged to continue the commission’s work.

The vote tallies were recorded on the public roll call. No abstentions or no votes were recorded in either election.

The formal outcomes recorded on the meeting record are: Josh Arce — elected president (unanimous); Commissioner Leverone — elected vice president (unanimous).
