Seven applicants appeared at the committee hearing to present their qualifications and answer questions from supervisors about the commission’s role, police accountability, pretextual (preemptive) stops and how they would engage with the Board of Supervisors. The applicants included:

- Albert Mayer, who identified himself as a former senior counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice and said the commission should prioritize ending the sale and use of dangerous drugs in public; “We must end the sale and use of dangerous drugs on our sidewalks,” he said.
- Franco Cirelli, who described finance and community‑engagement credentials and said technology and budgeting choices should help address understaffing.
- Hassid Imran, vice chair of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission and a California deputy state controller, who emphasized community policing and partnership with the department.
- Marjane Philhower, a Richmond‑district organizer and small‑business and merchant‑association leader who urged pragmatic public‑safety measures and supported pretextual stops as a tool when supervised.
- Meredith Osborne, a former federal prosecutor and chief trial attorney at the City Attorney’s Office, who said pretextual stops have a place but require monitoring and study.
- Pratibha Teke, a Tenderloin neighborhood organizer and advocate who stressed community partnership and bridging police and marginal communities.
- (One applicant, Neil Patrick Hallinan, was not present.)

Committee members asked candidates how the commission should set policy for the department, what police accountability means to them and what they would look for in a police chief. Several candidates noted that the commission would play a key role in selecting the next chief. Candidates’ views on “preemptive” or pretextual stops varied: some supported the tactic while emphasizing the need for data, transparency and safeguards; others emphasized community trust and oversight.

Public comment was extensive. Dozens of speakers and a wide range of community organizations addressed the committee. Numerous Tenderloin residents, merchants and nonprofits urged support for Pratibha Teke, citing her neighborhood experience, regular on‑the‑ground presence and history of working with small businesses, residents and law enforcement. Other community leaders and merchants spoke in support of Marjane Philhower and Hassid Imran; several labor and civic organizations submitted or read endorsements during the hearing.

After deliberation, President Mandelmann moved to forward Pratibha Teke’s nomination to the full Board with a positive recommendation. Vice Chair Sherrill voted no; President Mandelmann and Chair Walton voted yes. The motion passed 2–1. Committee members said they appreciated the large number of qualified applicants and the depth of public comment.

Clarifying details noted at the hearing included the applicants’ differing emphases on community representation, staffing and technical tools the department might use; several candidates cited the department’s recent reforms and the need to preserve successful changes while pushing for public‑safety improvements.","After a multi‑candidate hearing and extended public comment, the Rules Committee voted 2–1 to forward the nomination of Tenderloin organizer Pratibha Teke to the full Board for appointment to the Police Commission; Vice Chair Sherrill voted no.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6538499,"Rules Committee recommends Laura Thomas for Entertainment Commission public‑health seat",148,835000,983000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3843100-76ef5089049177470fec9a55cf6ec5ac&start=835&end=983","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3843100-76ef5089049177470fec9a55cf6ec5ac/thumbnail_835000.jpg","/articles/6538499/San-Francisco-County/California/Rules-Committee-recommends-Laura-Thomas-for-Entertainment-Commission-publichealth-seat","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538499-b3bae8f56fbe4783166b3d5a189500ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1770886195&Signature=mv4EmO2-NAOVfj-QgtSI~uQDNqAxG2FpDXE9MvncoWWFKgsqjwpPkSRLO3ZRXaMiLZrHX3RzuvjDFdV9~kxqSGSCoXQtUM~lBGXp0UgtCF5L4eNeuE72mqRKK-Y-AUFQG7to2y-oTUIY9BFbxZIZF~L~dVCI0GRagIMkSKh4JDDoFtYvB5b9YhVShas-Bbrh8-TmF8yYTsw0Ici~y1c50bBCotgDzNEwEBiqTYMhAsgQ2-QFLLyRXhW19l7BLcX3U4IAMC1Bg~Zntheq6cbXLP4XIHOYfiojchDtUVs1Su1epZMb5GhBcNkVVcatijehGz~WtlEEB4xv7GQjkPc77Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rules Committee voted to forward to the full Board of Supervisors a nomination recommending Laura Thomas to continue serving in the public‑health seat on the Entertainment Commission.

Committee members thanked Thomas for her service and noted the commission’s role in supporting the city’s post‑pandemic economic revitalization. Chair Walton moved to forward the nomination with a positive recommendation; the committee approved the motion without objection.

The program, first installed in 1996 and updated most recently in 2019, aims to reduce collisions and unsafe driving that occur when drivers run red lights or make illegal turns. Monica Giese, the program manager, told the committee the system uses 3D traffic radar and signal-state monitoring and “does not enter enforcement mode until the light changes from yellow to red.” When a potential violation is detected the system captures three still images, a 12‑second digital video and a separate driver photo; for illegal turns the system records a video stream of the turning movement.

The nut of the committee’s discussion concerned scope and data handling. Giese said the program issues roughly 800 to 1,000 citations per month — “so per year, it’s probably, like, 10, 11,000” — from 19 camera units at 13 intersections. Captured event data are first reviewed by a contractor, then reviewed by an SFPD officer before a citation is issued. Giese said footage “is stored on the cameras and devices for 30 days,” with non‑citation footage destroyed after 15 business days and citations retained 15 business days after final disposition; a contract amendment adds a maximum five‑year retention if final disposition is not reported.

The committee also discussed who receives data. Giese said the MTA shares footage and related data with SFPD, the Superior Court and the vendor (Vera Mobility); other third parties require a warrant or subpoena. Committee members pressed staff on how many detected events vs. issued citations are recorded and whether staffing limits cause events to “age out” before review. Giese said the contractor forwards potential violations to SFPD and that the department currently relies on 1 officer to perform the final review, which can create a backlog that leads to expiration of some events.

Supervisor Mandelmann asked about program costs and capacity; Giese estimated the 2019 construction cost for the current set of cameras at about $2,000,000 for the project as installed then. Mandelmann asked for a follow‑up report showing the number of events captured, the number that resulted in citations, and the stated reasons for non‑issuance; Giese agreed to provide a report with those categories.

The committee approved the motion to forward the ordinance with a positive recommendation. President Mandelmann made the motion; Vice Chair Sherrill and Chair Walton voted in favor. The motion passed without objection.

Background: MTA staff said the program is part of the city’s Vision Zero effort to reduce traffic deaths and severe collisions. The presentation noted the vendor relationship with Vera Mobility and that the system and proposed contract amendment were discussed by the Surveillance Advisory Board and related committees earlier in the year.","The Rules Committee voted to forward to the full Board an ordinance allowing the Municipal Transportation Agency to continue using automated red-light and no-turn enforcement cameras, with staff describing how the system detects violations, reviews footage and retains data.","actionData","errors"]
