Summary
At its July remote meeting, the San Francisco LAFCO approved minutes, excused a commissioner, extended the executive officer—s contract through Sept. 30, 2021, and heard public comment urging a public bank and stronger protections for frontline workers.
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission completed its July regular meeting with several routine approvals and public comment urging more aggressive city action on housing and worker protections.
The commission approved the minutes of its June 19, 2020 meeting by unanimous roll call. Chair Sandra Lee Feuer then moved and the commission voted to excuse Commissioner Cruz Pollock from the meeting.
On item 5, counsel Inder Khalsa presented a proposed second amendment to extend the agreement with Executive Officer Brian Goebel through Sept. 30, 2021. After public comment in favor of the extension, Chair Feuer moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Singh seconded. A roll call recorded four "ayes" and the extension was approved.
Public comment throughout the meeting came primarily from Eric Brooks, representing several local groups. Brooks repeatedly urged the commission to prioritize frontline workers during the pandemic, to pursue a public bank as a tool for financing local priorities and to support planning for a virtual power‑plant style renewable energy program.
