Summary

The committee considered an ordinance to establish a Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee, heard neighborhood requests to secure District‑7 seats and appointment processes, adopted clarifying amendments to membership and absence procedures, and sent the ordinance to the full Board without a committee recommendation.

Supervisor Norman Yee introduced an ordinance to amend the administrative code to create a Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee (CAC) that would advise the Board, mayor and city departments on transportation, parking, open space, housing affordability and community benefits related to the Balboa Reservoir project.

Neighbors and neighborhood groups — including Westwood Park Association, Sunnyside Neighborhood Association, Twin Peaks Central Council and the Ocean Avenue Association — urged changes to ensure affected District‑7 residents and local institutions (libraries, schools) are represented on the committee and that appointed members represent impacted constituencies rather than being selected through at‑large appointments alone. Speakers requested specific procedural language: that certain seats be held by District‑7 residents or business owners, that appointing authorities be identified, and that resignation/absence notification mechanics be clarified.

After hearing public comment, the committee adopted several clarifying amendments that change seat assignments (for example, designating a District‑7 resident or business owner for a specified seat if a named advisory seat sunsets) and added an absence/notification timeline requiring the CAC to inform appointing authorities and the Board Clerk of resignations caused by unapproved absences. The committee then voted to send the ordinance to the full Board without a committee recommendation, recording the committee report as "as amended."
