LAFCO appoints Michael Bornstein as public alternate
Summary
San Francisco LAFCO unanimously appointed local resident and Sierra Club staffer Michael Bornstein as the commission’s public alternate after a brief candidate presentation and commissioner questions about his background and CCA involvement.
Michael Bornstein, a San Francisco resident and Sierra club staffer, was appointed as the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) public alternate after commissioners moved and seconded his nomination during the meeting on Nov. 9, 2007. Bornstein told commissioners he has lived across many San Francisco neighborhoods, graduated from the University of San Francisco and has worked on environmental issues with the Sierra Club. "Thank you for considering my application for alternate," he said during brief remarks.
Commissioners asked Bornstein about his work experience and specific involvement with community choice aggregation (CCA). Bornstein said he has implemented decisions as a Sierra Club staffer and has followed the CCA matters before LAFCO, describing his role as operational rather than as a policy-setter. One commissioner moved to appoint Bornstein and another seconded the motion; the commission called for public comment (none offered) and approved the nomination.
The appointment was handled as an on-agenda confirmation rather than a contested hearing; commissioners invited Bornstein to join them immediately after the vote. The action closes the recruitment item on the agenda, and no additional conditions or amendments to the appointment were recorded at the meeting.
The commission continued with its remaining agenda items, including multiple CCA-related items, and adjourned at the end of the session.
