Rules Committee advances several nominations, delays redevelopment appointment pending disclosure
Summary
The San Francisco County Rules Committee forwarded multiple nominations—including a homeless board reappointment and child‑care council nominees—to the Board of Supervisors and continued a Redevelopment Agency appointment to a special meeting pending completion of a Form 700 financial disclosure.
Supervisor Tom Amiano, chair of the Rules Committee, on the committee’s agenda forwarded several nominations to the Board of Supervisors and continued one redevelopment appointment pending additional financial-disclosure paperwork.
Ms. Guzman sought reappointment to the local homeless board, saying she has served two years, chaired or co‑chaired the board’s funding committee, helped oversee the McKinney application and will work on the continuum of care for the next three years. "I've been serving for 2 years," she said, asking for the committee's support. The committee praised her service and agreed to forward her nomination with a recommendation to the full board.
The committee also advanced two candidates for the Child Care Planning and Advisory Council. Natalie Bruto introduced herself briefly and the committee moved to forward her nomination after no public comment. The committee discussed the second nominee, Noosheen Mafakam, noting she is a daycare provider at South Lamarcken Children's Center and that a residency waiver may be needed; members said the waiver would likely be acceptable and moved to forward her nomination.
Clerk Gail Johnson read a mayoral appointment of Richard Swigg to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. Committee members raised historical concerns about Redevelopment Agency ethics and asked whether Swigg had filed the required Form 700 financial disclosure. Swigg said he was preparing updated disclosures and would file them "in a timely fashion as required by law." Francie Covington, acting president of the Redevelopment Agency Commission, spoke in support of Swigg, praising his business experience and local roots. The committee agreed to continue the nomination to a special Rules Committee meeting on November 6 at 1:30 so the disclosures could be completed and the public could comment (the transcript did not specify a.m. or p.m.).
Supervisor Mercarimi resumed consideration of appointments to the Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force, heard applicants' testimony emphasizing energy‑consumption and infrastructure concerns, and recommended three names to fill vacancies; the committee moved to forward those recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
Next steps: the forwarded nominations will appear on the Board of Supervisors' agenda for confirmation; the redevelopment nomination will be continued to the special Rules Committee meeting so the committee and public may review Swigg's Form 700 before the board considers confirmation.
