SFPUC asserts attorney‑client privilege and recommends Board approve insurance settlement; commission votes not to disclose closed session discussion
Summary
In closed session the commission voted to assert attorney‑client privilege regarding an insurance matter, recommended the Board of Supervisors approve a referenced settlement and then voted not to disclose the closed session discussion when the meeting returned to open session.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission in closed session on March 26 voted to assert attorney‑client privilege concerning the matter listed as Allied World Insurance Company and Golden Bear Assurance Company versus City and County of San Francisco, and later recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve the referenced settlement.
A motion to assert attorney‑client privilege was made and seconded during the closed session and passed by recorded vote. When the commission returned to open session, SF GovTV reported that the commission had recommended Board of Supervisors approval of the settlement referenced in item 12.
Following the report out, a commissioner moved not to disclose the content of the closed‑session discussion. That motion was seconded and passed by recorded vote, with President Stacy and Commissioners Jamdar and Laverony voting aye and the record showing Vice President Arce absent for that roll call. The meeting was then adjourned.
The transcript records the motions, votes and the report‑out but does not include details of the settlement terms in open session.
