Rules Committee appoints two members to Inclusionary Housing Technical Advisory Committee

The Rules Committee on Jan. 5 appointed two members to the Inclusionary Housing Technical Advisory Committee. Chair Shamone Walton moved to appoint Saki Bailey to seat 1 with a residency waiver and Tiffany Bohee to seat 2; the motion passed without objection.

Saki Bailey introduced herself as the executive director of the San Francisco Community Land Trust and described more than two decades of experience in nonprofit housing, including work on housing project feasibility, underwriting, acquisitions and long-term stewardship of permanently affordable housing. Bailey said she has served on technical advisory bodies and on an advisory committee connected to SB 555, and told the panel that "the triennial economic feasibility analysis is essential to assuring that San Francisco's inclusionary housing requirements remain both financially workable and effective in producing affordable housing."

President Mandelmann thanked Bailey for applying and praised the Land Trust's work in District 8 and citywide, saying the organization has helped stretch private dollars amid insufficient public funding for affordable housing.

The clerk opened public comment and recorded there were no speakers on the item. The committee then voted; the clerk recorded "Cheryl, aye; Manuman (Madelmann), aye; Walton, aye," and announced the motion passed without objection. Chair Walton said, "Motion carries." The committee did not record any conditions tied to the appointments during the Jan. 5 hearing.
