Health Commission to review updated rules and regulations; city attorney confirms compliance
Summary
Staff presented draft revisions to the Health Commission's rules to clarify committee voting, the commission's role as governing body for hospitals and alignment with the city charter; the deputy city attorney told commissioners the draft complies with charter and state/federal requirements and the commission will vote in May.
Commission staff presented proposed revisions to the Health Commission's rules and regulations, saying the draft clarifies the commission's role, updates obsolete language and addresses how committees that reach a quorum should relate to full commission action. The chair said the table of substantive changes prepared with the city attorney aimed to make roles and processes clearer.
Deputy City Attorney Arnulfo Medina told commissioners the updated rules and regulations comply with the charter and applicable state and federal regulations, and specifically noted the commission's distinct governance role for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Laguna Honda Hospital. Commissioners were advised to review the draft and submit questions before the scheduled vote at the May meeting when all commissioners can participate.
No vote was taken at the meeting. Commissioners thanked city attorneys and staff for their work and asked staff to return for the May meeting when a formal vote is expected.
