Summary
After a brief closed session Dec. 13, the Board of Appeals appointed Victor Pacheco as interim executive secretary and voted 5‑0 to withhold disclosure of the closed‑session discussion, citing personnel rules.
The San Francisco Board of Appeals appointed Victor Pacheco as interim executive secretary after a closed session on Dec. 13 and voted unanimously not to disclose the substance of the closed meeting. Vice President Garcia announced the appointment and the board recorded the appointment vote as 5‑0. The board separately voted 5‑0 on a motion — made and seconded in open session — to not disclose discussions that had occurred in closed session, citing personnel confidentiality required under state law.
The closed session had been added to the evening’s revised agenda after commissioners determined the matter met the California Government Code standard for immediate action. Commissioners noted that employment matters normally are handled privately and that a public notice will be issued with any formal personnel orders or findings as required. The board’s motions were recorded in open session following the closed meeting.
