Shall the Mayor appoint four members of the new Entertainment Commission, subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors, and shall the Board of Supervisors appoint the other three members?
The Board of Supervisors recently adopted an ordinance creating an Entertainment Commission. The seven-member Entertainment Commission will begin work in July 2003. Unless the Charter states otherwise, the Mayor appoints all members of City boards and commissions. The Board of Supervisors may reject the Mayor's appointments by a two-thirds vote. The Proposal: Proposition F is a Charter amendment that would allow the Mayor to nominate only four members of the Entertainment Commission. The Board of Supervisors would approve or reject the Mayor's nominees by majority vote. The Board would appoint the three remaining members. Commissioners would be chosen to represent different interests, including City neighborhood associations, entertainment associations, urban planning, law enforcement and public health.
While the amendment itself does not specify the functions or duties of the Commission, subsequent ordinances may specify that the Commission carry out regulatory or promotional functions which will require staff, materials, and other costs. The City currently collects entertainment-related permit fees that may cover all or a portion of these costs.
