Rules Committee forwards multiple advisory-board nominations to full Board
Summary
The Rules Committee on May 16 moved a slate of advisory-board and commission nominees — including Bicycle Advisory, Urban Forestry, SoMa stabilization, and Graffiti advisory seats — to the full Board of Supervisors, with several contested seats sent forward after public testimony.
The San Francisco Rules Committee on May 16 voted to forward nominees for several advisory boards and commissions to the full Board of Supervisors, advancing candidates for the Bicycle Advisory Committee, Urban Forestry Council, the SoMa Community Stabilization Fund advisory committee, and the Graffiti Advisory Board.
Chair Supervisor Norman Yee called the committee to order and noted that items acted on today will appear on the Board’s June 4 agenda. For the Bicycle Advisory Committee the committee moved nominees Kevin Dole (seat 1) and Bert Hill (seat 7) to the full Board after applicants and several public supporters highlighted the need to sustain advisory capacity as city bike-plan projects resume.
The committee also advanced appointments to the Urban Forestry Council after supporters described nominees’ professional experience: Andrew Sullivan (represented by Dan Flanagan) was noted for landscape-architecture and green-infrastructure work, while Dan Kietta was described as a PG&E certified arborist with operational experience inspecting and overseeing trees around electrical lines.
On the SoMa Community Stabilization Fund advisory seat, the committee heard endorsements stressing the seat’s role representing low-income seniors and people with disabilities in a rapidly changing neighborhood and moved Alicia (Sam) Duke forward with committee recommendation. The Graffiti Advisory Board business/property-owner seat was advanced for Dan Kling, a Recology employee who said he meets the property-owner requirement for the seat.
