Rules Committee adopts cleanup and five-month extension for street-level drug distribution task force report
Summary
The Rules Committee adopted non-substantive edits and a five-month extension to the reporting deadline for the Street Level Drug Distribution Task Force, moving the ordinance forward to the full Board with a positive recommendation. No members of the public spoke on the item.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee on Sept. 14 adopted a non-substantive cleanup and a five-month extension to the deadline for the Street Level Drug Distribution Task Force to file its initial report, then recommended the ordinance to the full Board.
Clerk Victor Young read the ordinance, which extends the reporting deadline to Aug. 31, 2020, and requires subsequent reports every three months to include a summary of the task force’s progress and plans for the next period. Abigail River Monte Mesa, speaking on behalf of Supervisor Haney, told the committee the extension would give the task force time to regroup after months of interrupted meetings due to the COVID-19 pandemic and requested a cleanup correction to the task force’s name to reflect its current designation as the Street Level Drug Distribution Task Force.
Chair Supervisor Hilary Ronan opened public comment; the clerk reported there were no callers. Ronan moved to incorporate the amendments and, after a unanimous roll-call vote (Supervisors Stephanie and Marr and Chair Ronan voting aye), the committee adopted the amendment and then voted to send the amended ordinance forward with a positive recommendation.
The committee’s action was procedural: the measure was amended for clarity and schedule and advanced to the full Board of Supervisors for further consideration.
