Rules Committee appoints Charles Peacock to juvenile hall working group after brief procedural pause

Supervisor Shimon Walton nominated Charles Peacock to vacant seat 3 on the city’s closed juvenile hall working group, saying Peacock is "a young African American male who lives in Bayview, who was formerly incarcerated as a juvenile, who is now working in community, and is also in college" and that he would be "instrumental in helping come up with a plan that's going to lead our young folks to success". Walton moved to appoint Peacock and the chair initially took the motion without objection.

After the motion was made, Walton rescinded it briefly; the committee then closed public comment and Walton moved to "move the previous motion," which the chair confirmed "Without objection, that motion passes," finalizing Peacock’s appointment. No public speakers addressed the committee on this item.

The appointment fills the committee’s final slot on the 15-member working group established to plan for closure of the juvenile hall. The working group’s first meeting was announced as scheduled later in the week.

The committee’s action was procedural: the chair and two supervisors present registered no objection to the final motion. There was no formal roll-call vote recorded in the transcript; the chair used the committee’s standard practice of confirming unanimous consent when no member objected. The committee adjourned after completing this and other appointments.
