San Francisco commissioners vote 4-0 to withhold disclosure of closed‑session discussion
Summary
A panel of San Francisco commissioners voted unanimously to withhold disclosure of discussion held in closed session on agenda item 3, citing San Francisco Administrative Code section 67.12(a); the meeting then moved to adjournment.
Unidentified Speaker announced the meeting was back in open session for line item 4 and called a vote on whether to disclose any or all discussion from item 3, which had been held in closed session.
The moderator cited San Francisco Administrative Code section 67.12(a) as the legal basis for the disclosure decision and introduced an "Action" item. "Motion to not disclose, closed session," the moderator stated; a second was recorded. In the roll call that followed, Commissioner Leung voted "Yes," Commissioner Yee voted "Yes," Vice President Benediktou voted "Yes," and President Clay voted "Yes." The moderator confirmed, "You have 4 yeses." The motion to withhold disclosure thus passed.
The meeting then moved to line item 5 and adjourned; the moderator closed the session with thanks.
The transcript records the procedural steps and the 4-0 vote but contains no details of the substance discussed in closed session. The citation to the San Francisco Administrative Code (section 67.12(a)) was the only legal authority referenced on the record.
