Rules Committee recommends appointments to several boards and task forces
Summary
The committee recommended Ms. Dietz to the Asthma Task Force, Janet Clyde to the Small Business Commission, and Richard Katz and Franz Chang to the Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force; supervisors praised candidates and urged professionalism and diversity on commissions.
The Rules Committee considered several appointments across city advisory bodies and forwarded multiple recommendations to the full Board.
Item 3: Ms. Dietz was recommended for the Asthma Task Force. She said aligning health plans (Blue Cross, Kaiser, San Francisco Health Plan) on formularies and sponsoring provider training would improve consistency in asthma treatment recommendations.
Item 6: Two applicants vied for one Small Business Commission seat. Janet Clyde (Vesuvio Cafe owner) emphasized supporting neighborhood retail, cultural programming and protecting small, independent businesses from formula retail pressures; Nick Goldman described volunteer service and experience on the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force. Supervisor Ammiano moved to recommend Janet Clyde and the committee approved the recommendation without objection.
Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force: the committee considered five applicants for two seats. Richard Katz (co‑founder of Post Carbon San Francisco) and Franz Chang (energy background, CPUC experience) were recommended by the task force chair and forwarded to the full Board with the committee’s recommendation.
Ending: The committee moved the slate of appointments to the full Board; several supervisors noted the importance of professionalism on commissions and keeping promising applicants in mind for future openings.
