Rules Committee forwards new meeting schedule and advances public works appointment
Summary
The San Francisco Rules Committee voted to forward a motion setting select committee meetings for the first and third Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. and advanced an ordinance appointing Fred Abadi as Director of Public Works and road commissioner, forwarding both to the full Board with recommendation.
The San Francisco City and County Rules Committee on an unspecified date voted to forward a motion establishing city and school district select committee meetings on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 3:30 p.m., and advanced an ordinance appointing Fred Abadi, Ph.D., as Director of Public Works and road commissioner.
Chair Tom Ammiano described the schedule motion as "pretty straightforward" and asked that it be forwarded as a committee report with recommendation. The committee heard no public comment on the scheduling motion and agreed to move it forward without objection.
The committee also considered an ordinance to appoint Fred Abadi as Director of Public Works and to designate him road commissioner, repealing Ordinance 18-02. Abadi appeared and said he was "more than happy to answer any questions you may have," and committee members characterized the road commissioner title as largely honorific and exercised in concert with the Director of Public Works role. The ordinance was forwarded with the committee's recommendation and no objection was recorded.
Both matters will next be considered by the full Board of Supervisors. No formal roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript; committee action was recorded as forwarded with recommendation.
