Rules Committee forwards reappointments to Public Utilities Commission
Summary
The committee favorably recommended Mayor Breed’s reappointments of Ike Kwan and Anton (Andy) Moran to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission after nominees described priorities including rates, the Sewer System Improvement Project and climate resiliency.
The Rules Committee on Sept. 19 forwarded the mayor’s reappointments of Isaac (Ike) Kwan (seat 2, ratepayer advocate) and Anton (Andy) Moran (seat 4, utility management) to the full Board with positive recommendations.
Ike Kwan described his role as a ratepayer advocate, highlighted work on rates and the Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) and emphasized community engagement and environmental‑justice considerations in utility planning. Kwan noted the need to balance revenue requirements for an enterprise utility with conservation efforts.
Anton Moran — a longtime utility manager and former PUC general manager — emphasized capital program stewardship (the transcript cites large multi‑billion dollar capital programs), workforce succession and flood mitigation priorities. Moran discussed the need to earn public trust on major multi‑year projects and to address retirements and training to preserve institutional capacity.
Public commenters, including neighborhood groups, labor and former commissioners, praised both nominees for experience and community engagement. The committee agreed to forward both reappointments to the Board with positive recommendations.
