Government Audit and Oversight Committee forwards items 2–13 to full Board, continues item 1 to Dec. 3
Summary
At its Nov. 12, 2015 special meeting the Government Audit and Oversight Committee excused Supervisor Christensen, convened in closed session and voted to continue item 1 to Dec. 3, 2015 and forward items 2–13 to the Board of Supervisors with positive recommendations; items 8–12 will be filed as committee reports to Nov. 17. Details on each item were not specified in the transcript.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Government Audit and Oversight Committee met in a special session on Nov. 12, 2015, excused one member, convened in closed session and issued a set of procedural referrals and continuations for items on its agenda.
Chair Supervisor Yi opened the meeting and asked for a motion to excuse Supervisor Christensen; a motion was made and, “with no objection,” the committee approved the excusal. The committee then solicited public comment on items 1 through 13 and, seeing none, closed public comment and moved into closed session.
After the closed session, Deputy City Attorney John Gibner reported the committee’s actions: “the committee voted unanimously by a 2 to 0 vote to … continue item 1 to the government audit and oversight committee meeting of 12/03/2015, and to forward items 2 through 13 to the full board with positive recommendation with items 8 through 12, going as committee reports to the November 17 meeting.” The transcript does not provide ordinance or resolution texts or item-level details; the clerk had described items 1–13 generally as “ordinances and resolutions authorizing settlements and unlitigated claims with the City and County of San Francisco.”
The committee also adopted a motion not to discuss the substance of the closed session. The clerk said there was no further business and the meeting was adjourned.
What this means: item 1 is scheduled for further committee consideration on Dec. 3, 2015; items 2–13 will be placed on the Board of Supervisors agenda with positive recommendations, and items 8–12 will be transmitted as committee reports for the Nov. 17 meeting. The transcript does not specify the content, dollar amounts, or parties involved in the listed ordinances and resolutions.
Records and next steps: the clerk said items active today will appear on the Dec. 1 Board of Supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. A video of the meeting was carried live by SFGTV and the committee noted that transcripts are made available to the public online.
