Fire commission reports it nominated three candidates for fire chief and forwarded names to mayor
Summary
After a closed session under state law, the commission reported it voted to nominate three people for appointment as San Francisco fire chief and forwarded those nominations to the mayor for consideration; the commission also voted not to disclose further closed-session deliberations.
The Fire Commission convened a closed session on Aug. 14 under California Government Code provisions to consider nominations for appointment as San Francisco fire chief. After returning to open session, the commission reported it had voted in closed session to make three nominations and to forward those names to the mayor for consideration.
The chair read the closed-session report and the commission voted (unanimously, as recorded) to withhold further deliberations from public disclosure, consistent with the San Francisco Administrative Code provisions cited at the meeting. No candidate names were announced in open session and the mayor’s office will make the final appointment decision.
The commission's public report described only the procedural outcome — that three nominations were forwarded — and did not disclose the discussion or criteria used during the closed session. Commissioners moved and seconded the motion to convene the closed session and later moved not to disclose specifics of deliberations, with votes recorded as unanimous on the floor.
