Supervisor Rafael Mandelman presented a draft charter amendment to the Board of Supervisors proposing what he said would be more effective governance of the city.
SAN FRANCISCO â San Francisco may be heading for changes in the way it governs itself. On Tuesday, 'The concern that our city government is deeply broken is, of course, not new,' said Mandelman. He noted that 15 years ago, local journalist Joe Eskenazi labeled San Francisco 'the worst run big city in the United States,' but said the hunger for better governance is palpable and broadly felt.Mandelman's charter reform package is still under development.
Currently, the mayor can unilaterally decide to place an amendment on the ballot, and the board can do it in two waysâthey can get four co-sponsors or pass legislation with six votes. The new proposal would eliminate both the mayor's option and board's co-sponsor option.Citizen-led signature initiatives would remain. The board could still get a charter amendment on the ballot by passing legislation with six votes.
