Board rejects Redevelopment Agency reappointment of Benny Yeh after tied continuance vote
Summary
A resolution to confirm the Redevelopment Agency's reappointment of Benny Yeh failed on a 4–6 roll call after supervisors debated a motion to continue the item.
San Francisco — The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Dec. 5 rejected a Redevelopment Agency reappointment after debate and a tied motion to continue the matter.
Supervisor Ellsberg initially asked that the item be continued for one week because the board did not have a full complement of supervisors present. After a motion to continue was moved and seconded, floor debate produced a 5–5 tie on the continuance. The motion to continue failed and the board then proceeded to a roll-call vote on the resolution itself.
On the confirmation vote for Benny Yeh, the board recorded 4 ayes and 6 noes, and the resolution failed. The transcript records several supervisors asking that the item be decided at the meeting rather than continued; others expressed concerns that, given the board's current membership, the matter should be delayed until full attendance could be ensured.
