Personnel Committee approves Dec. 19 minutes, reconvenes closed session on employee complaint with no report out

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority Personnel Committee on an abbreviated agenda approved the minutes of its Dec. 19, 2024, meeting and recessed into closed session to consider a public employee complaint.

Chair Myrna Melgar opened the regular meeting and called the roll; Vice Chair Annie Sauter and Chair Melgar were present and Commissioner Mandelmann was absent. Melgar invoked the committee’s rules to limit public comment, saying, “As Chair, I’d like to invoke Rule 3.26 from the Rules of Order to limit total public comment per item to 30 minutes for today’s meeting. Each speaker will have 2 minutes to speak on any given item.”

The committee moved to approve the minutes of the Dec. 19, 2024, meeting. No mover or seconder was recorded on the transcript; the roll-call vote recorded Chair Myrna Melgar and Vice Chair Annie Sauter voting aye. The clerk announced the minutes were approved.

The committee then entered closed session under the agenda item described as “public employee complaint discipline dismissal release.” No public speakers addressed that item before the committee left open session. After the closed session the committee reconvened in open session and announced that there was no report out from the closed session.

There were no public comments on the minutes item or on the closed-session item either in the committee room or from remote callers; the clerk noted there was no remote public comment when requested. The meeting proceeded through its remaining, non-substantive agenda items — an invitation for new items and public comment, both of which produced no speakers — and adjourned.

The meeting was livestreamed on San Francisco Government Television (SFGovTV); staff acknowledged Susanna Enos of SFGovTV and Amy Sayeong served as clerk for the meeting.
