Committee continues recruitment hearing; recommends litigation items to Board after closed session

Government Audit and Oversight Committee · July 30, 2020

Summary

After presentations and public comment, the committee voted to continue the recruitment hearing to the call of the chair and, following closed session deliberations, recommended litigation items 2–16 to the full Board and voted not to disclose closed‑session discussions.

San Francisco — After roughly four hours of department presentations and public comment on July 30, the Government Audit and Oversight Committee voted to continue its review of first‑responder recruitment to the call of the chair and requested follow‑up analysis from the Office of Racial Equity.

Procedural action: Supervisor Aaron Peskin moved to continue the hearing to the call of the chair; the committee recorded 'ayes' from Peskin, Supervisor Matt Haney and Chair Marr and the motion passed. The committee asked ORE and DHR to return with an analysis of where candidates drop out of recruitment and testing and to offer recommendations ahead of the next budget cycle.

Closed session and litigation: The committee then convened closed session to consider agenda items 2–16 (various litigation settlements). After closed deliberations the clerk reported the committee (with Vice Chair Peskin absent for closed session) acted to recommend items 2–16 to the full Board of Supervisors. The committee also voted in open session not to disclose the closed session deliberations (roll‑call recorded as two ayes, one absence).
