Suzuki with preliminary container listing prepared by Daniel T. McGarry (intern, 2006.) Biography of Art Agnos Art Agnos, 1938- , is a former politician and government administrator. Finding Aid to the Art Agnos SFH 46 2 Papers, 1977-2002 (bulk 1984-1991) Agnos was born Arthur Christ Agnos on Sept. 1, 1938 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Described as gregarious by some, abrasive by others, he is best known for his political work as California assemblyman, 1976-1988, and as San Francisco mayor, 1988-1992. He earned a Master of Social Work degree and worked in the south during the segregation era before moving to San Francisco in 1966 to work for the public housing agency. He was an aide to California State Assemblyman Leo McCarthy from 1968 to 1976, becoming Chief of Staff in 1974. He survived a shooting in 1973 during a wave of attacks that became known as the Zebra murders. He would look back on this with "an appreciation for life." He was elected to the Assembly in 1976 in a hard-fought battle against Harvey Milk. Endorsed by Willie L. Brown, Phillip and John Burton, and George Moscone, Agnos won the seat by 4,000 votes. During his six terms representing District 16, the assemblyman served as the chair of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee and of the Health and Welfare Subcommittee of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. Agnos also served as vice chair of the Joint Committee on Refugee Resettlement and Immigration. He authored over 90 bills including work-for-welfare legislation and landmark Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) bills. Agnos was elected San Francisco's 39th mayor in 1987 with 70 percent of the vote in the runoff against Supervisor John Molinari. Facing budget problems and homelessness, he immediately set to work to produce a balanced budget. He created the Beyond Shelter plan, the city’s first comprehensive approach to homelessness. A 1989 downtown baseball stadium measure that he supported narrowly lost; he called this his biggest disappointment. He was credited with strong leadership in handling the recovery from the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Against significant opposition, he led efforts to demolish the quake-damaged Embarcadero Freeway. Leaving office, he said his proudest moment was the way San Franciscans responded following the earthquake. He became the city's first mayor to ride in the Gay Freedom Day parade, in 1988. Agnos signed domestic partner legislation in June 1989 which was narrowly repealed by voters that fall. The same year, he established the Family Policy Task Force to study the inclusion of extended family members and partners of gays and lesbians as dependents on the city health plan. As a result, the city adopted domestic partner benefits in 1991. He was defeated in his re-election bid by former Police Chief Frank Jordan, 52 to 48 percent. After leaving City Hall, Agnos worked as Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 2007, he was appointed receiver of the San Francisco Housing Authority. In a [1993?] television interview, he said: "I liked being mayor best of all because you have unparalleled power to pick up the phone on any issue you wanted to get into, and I love to get into issues, and I love to gather people around me who had what I call 'Peace Corps hearts and linebacker eyes,' who wanted to get into issues and fight 'em. It was an extraordinary kind of time." (Interview with Evan White, Bay TV Live, [1993?]). Biography of Larry Bush Larry Bush, 1946- , is a journalist and former political aide and government administrator. Bush was the Washington D.C. correspondent for The Advocate. He published several articles in both gay and straight publications, conducted interviews, gave speeches, and published the Bush Report, which was concerned with gay political and cultural issues. He was also the Washington liaison for the National Gay Task Force. Bush served as a legislative aide to and speech writer for Art Agnos, both on the assemblyman's and mayor's staffs. He continued to work with Agnos at HUD and edited CitiReport, a San Francisco political newsletter. Scope and Contents This collection documents the political career of Art Agnos, who served in the California State Assembly from 1976 to 1987, and as Mayor of San Francisco from 1988 to 1992. Materials include bill files, subject files, administrative files, strategy and policy memoranda, constituent correspondence, notes, speeches, newsletters, reports, newspaper clippings, press releases, reference material and some photographs. The collection includes papers of his aide and speechwriter, Larry Bush. Subjects include welfare reform, gays and gay rights, AIDS, domestic partners, homelessness, Soviet Jewry, 1989 earthquake, Embarcadero Freeway, homeporting of the USS Missouri, integration of the Fire Department, Mission Bay and Yerba Buena Gardens development, downtown baseball stadium, Loma Prieta earthquake, and Agnos' 1987 mayoral and 1991 re-election campaigns. A small number of photographs depict an inauguration day gathering, the mayor riding in the city’s Gay Rights Parade, Mother Theresa visiting City Hall, and Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev's visit. Also included is a post-mayoral television interview in which Agnos reflects upon his political work. Arrangement The collection is arranged in two record groups, Assembly and Mayoral. Record Group 1: Assembly is divided into four series: Series 1: Legislation and Research; Series 2: Larry Bush Legislation and Research; Series 3: Speeches; and Series 4: Finding Aid to the Art Agnos SFH 46 3 Papers, 1977-2002 (bulk 1984-1991) Campaigns.

The business is located on Third Street between Galvez and Hudson avenues in the Bayview neighborhood. The building is designated as San Francisco Landmark #263 for its association with the live and work of Sam Jordan. Through Jordan’s advocacy and leadership, the bar was used to support the educational, economic, political, and cultural vitality of the Bayview’s African American community by hosting scholarship fundraisers, hosting African American businessmen’s luncheons, political brainstorming sessions, and the Black Panther Breakfast Program that provided hot meals to school children. Cultural events at the bar highlighted local musicians as well as famous musical performers including Ike and Tina Turner, Sugar Pie DeSanto, and Bobby Freeman. Jordan was the first African American to run for San Francisco Mayor and although he did not win, he made significant contributions to the local African American civil rights movement and left a lasting impact on his community.

    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JANUARY 13, 2020 THE POTRERO VIEW Application No.: LBR-2019-20-007 Business Name: The Potrero View Business Address: 1459 18th St., #214 District: District 10 Applicant: Bettina Cohen, Marketing Manager Nomination Date: July 15, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Shamann Walton Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION The Potrero View (the “View”) is San Francisco's oldest continuously published community newspaper, beginning in 1970. Dubbing themselves the “Potrero Hill Mob,” Bill and Jodie Dawson, Lenny Anderson, Micky Ostler and Rose Marie Sicoli launched The Potrero View out of the Dawson’s 284 Connecticut Street home. Aspiring to emerge into a newspaper that could influence municipal policy decisions, they received guidance from Eileen Maloney, their first editor who had journalism experience at Long Island’s Newsday and San Francisco's Progress. Potrero Hill resident Ruth Passen started contributing to the View in January 1971. That spring, Passen assumed editorial duties from Maloney, and in 1972, Passen succeeded the Dawsons as publisher of The Potrero View. She retired and turned the newspaper over to Steven Moss in 2006. The Potrero View began publishing its issues from offices in the basement of the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House in June 1972, not long after community advocate Enola Maxwell was elected director of the nonprofit. "The Nabe," as 953 De Haro is affectionately called by locals, is a Potrero Hill landmark, dating back to 1922, and has continuously housed churches or nonprofits that have a mission to serve community members in need, with an emphasis on youth and education.

  • Institutional Structure and Mayoral Success in Three California Cities
    10.1177/1078087404265391Mullin et al. / CITY CAESARS?URBAN AFFAIRS REVIEW / September 2004 ARTICLE CITY CAESARS? Institutional Structure and Mayoral Success in Three California Cities MEGAN MULLIN University of California, Berkeley GILLIAN PEELE Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, United Kingdom BRUCE E. CAIN University of California, Berkeley Recently, voters in many large cities have approved charter reforms that strengthen the power of the executive, suggesting that big city residents and mayors themselves view the formal authority of the office as an important influence on whether a mayor will be successful in solving urban problems. This article employs qualitative data from three California cities to specify how struc- tural characteristics interact with personal factors to facilitate mayoral leadership. The authors find that city structure does not directly determine a mayor’s goals and leadership style, but it does create constraints and opportunities that influence whether a mayor’s personal strategies will succeed. Keywords: mayors; city structure; city charter; leadership; reform In the past 20 years, several large California cities have adopted charter reforms that enhanced the formal authority of the mayor’s office. San Jose started the trend in 1986 by increasing the mayor’s powers within the existing council-manager form of government. In 1993, Fresno decided to abandon the council-manager system altogether, and its mayor became the city’s chief AUTHORS’NOTE: A previous version of this article was presented at the 2001 annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, San Francisco. We are grateful to Rachel Goldbrenner for her valuable research assistance on this project. URBAN AFFAIRS REVIEW, Vol.
