Rules Committee forwards Supervisor Aaron Peskin for BCDC seat
Summary
The Rules Committee recommended Supervisor Aaron Peskin to the full Board of Supervisors for appointment to the Bay Conservation and Development Commission after brief public support and a clerk-confirmed supervisor poll.
The San Francisco Rules Committee recommended Supervisor Aaron Peskin to the full Board of Supervisors for appointment to the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC).
Chair Asha Safaie announced that a Clerk of the Board poll showed Peskin had responded that he would serve; a member of the public, David Pilpel, testified in favor of the appointment and urged clearer agenda language so the public can see the specific nominee without consulting the packet. Pilpel asked that future appointment notices list the single seat and applicant by name to reduce public confusion.
Committee members discussed the omission on the agenda and the clerk said the city will begin listing supervisors’ names for these appointments after conversations with the Clerk of the Board. A supervisor moved to send a positive recommendation to the full Board; Chair Safaie indicated the motion carried without objection and the item will appear on the May 2 Board agenda unless otherwise stated.
The committee did not record a roll-call tally for the Peskin recommendation in the transcript; the clerk stated procedural follow-up to improve agenda labeling. The nomination will be considered by the full Board at a later date.
