Summary

The committee moved an ordinance to codify and extend the Single Room Occupancy (SRO) task force for three years, removing a city‑attorney voting seat and reducing the body from 14 to 13 voting members; staff flagged a technical line‑number correction.

The Rules Committee advanced an ordinance to amend the Administrative Code to reauthorize the Single Room Occupancy (SRO) task force and extend its sunset date by three years to Dec. 31, 2018, with one substantive change: removing the city attorney as a voting member.

Deputy City Attorney John Givner explained that the SRO task force previously included a 14th voting member appointed from the city attorney’s office. The ordinance codifies the task force in the Administrative Code and removes that 14th voting seat so the city attorney will serve in an advisory, nonvoting capacity; the body will be a 13‑member advisory board. Givner also requested a technical amendment to change a page reference (page 4, line 2) from seat 14 to seat 13.

Supervisor Cohen moved the amendment and the committee approved sending the amended ordinance forward with a positive recommendation.
