Rules Committee advances MTA appointments, Board of Appeals nominee and extends select committee
Summary
The committee advanced two Municipal Transportation Agency appointments, moved Tanya McVey Peterson's Board of Appeals nomination forward after public endorsements and approved a one-year extension to the Joint City and School District Select Committee under Rule 5.7.
San Francisco — At the Feb. 14 Rules Committee meeting, the clerk read a series of administrative items and the committee advanced multiple appointments and a rules amendment.
The committee read and advanced Item 1, a motion confirming Bruce Otha to the Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors for a term ending March 1, 2012, and Item 2, confirming Malcolm Heinecke to the same board with the same term end. Both items were sent forward "without objection."
On Item 3 and Item 4, the committee considered Mayor's appointment of Tanya McVey Peterson to the Board of Appeals. Peterson introduced herself and outlined about 17 years of legal practice, including a federal clerkship and litigation work; several members of the public spoke in her support, citing her fairness and community work. Supervisor Bevan Dufty moved to advance Item 3 (approve appointment) and to table Item 4 (reject appointment); the committee advanced Item 3 for full Board consideration and tabled the rejection motion.
The committee also approved Item 5, a motion to amend Rule 5.7 of the Board's rules of order to extend the term of the Joint City and School District Select Committee for one year; Supervisor Dufty, who chairs that select committee, said he supported the extension.
All administrative items were handled in committee; the Board will consider confirmed appointments and the advancement of the Board of Appeals nominee in due course.
