Commissioner Liu announces departure; commission elects new chair and vice chair
Summary
Commissioner Liu said she will step down and this will be her last meeting; the commission nominated and unanimously elected a new chair and elected Commissioner Rennie as vice chair.
Commissioner Liu announced at the meeting that she will step down from the San Francisco Ethics Commission, saying recent family commitments prevent her from continuing to serve. "These past 4 months have been with heavy heart that I announced that this will be my last meeting," she said, and thanked fellow commissioners and staff.
Colleagues responded with expressions of appreciation for her service and preparedness. Commissioners praised Liu's work and wished her well in her new role as a parent.
The commission also conducted nominations and elected new leadership for the coming year. A commissioner was nominated and elected chair by voice vote; another commissioner (nominated earlier in the item) was elected vice chair. The nominations did not require seconds and the voice votes recorded unanimous "Aye" responses and no recorded opposition.
Commissioners used the leadership item to thank the outgoing chair for the work of the past year and to note the significant workload the office handled.
