Rules Committee pauses charter amendment to create Workforce Education and Recovery Fund for City College
Summary
Supervisor Gordon Marr asked to continue consideration of a proposed charter amendment creating a Workforce Education and Recovery Fund to support City College of San Francisco; the committee voted to continue the item to the call of the chair while exploring a two-year pilot via legislation and the budget process.
Supervisor Gordon Marr asked the Rules Committee to hold Item 2 — a charter amendment to establish a Workforce Education and Recovery Fund for City College of San Francisco — so he can continue work with City College stakeholders, labor and others on alternative approaches.
Marr said he is exploring creating the workforce education and recovery fund as a two-year pilot through legislation and the city budget process so strategic investments can start sooner than would be possible through a charter amendment. "I'd like to hold off on hearing and considering action on this item today," Marr said, noting his work with stakeholders to ensure unemployed residents have access to workforce training.
The committee opened public comment for the item but the clerk reported no callers in the queue. Marr moved to continue the item to the call of the chair; a roll-call vote recorded 'aye' from Supervisor Catherine Stephanie, Supervisor Gordon Marr and Chair Hillary Ronan, and the motion passed without objection.
Next steps: The item was continued to the call of the chair so the supervisor can pursue stakeholder discussions and explore legislative or budgetary pilot options; no final charter action occurred at this meeting.
