The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee voted Jan. 13 to recommend an ordinance to reestablish the African American Arts and Cultural District Community Advisory Committee, extend the deadline for a CHES report describing cultural attributes of the district, and set a new sunset date for the advisory committee in June 2028.

President Mandelmann described the proposal as "a significant initiative aimed at preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the community," and said the extended timeline for the CHES report would ensure "adequate time for thorough review and planning." The ordinance reestablishes the community advisory body and directs city departments to produce a written report recommending strategies to acknowledge and preserve the district's cultural legacy; the ordinance text presented to the committee did not specify a funding source for implementation.

No members of the public spoke on the item during the committee meeting. Chair Supervisor Walton moved to forward the ordinance to the full Board with recommendation. The committee recorded Supervisor Dorsey as "aye," Supervisor Chen as "aye," and Chair Walton as "aye." The motion passed without objection. The clerk noted items acted upon at this meeting are expected to appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda of Jan. 28, 2025, unless otherwise stated.

The committee did not discuss detailed implementation steps or funding allocations during the meeting; those items were not specified in the committee record.
