President, Board of Supervisors City and County of San Francisco District 5 LONDON N. BREED January 20, 2016 In my capacity as President of the Board of Supervisors, I am pleased to announce the Board’s committee assignments for 2016. I am especially proud that all three of my female colleagues will be serving as committee chairs. Supervisors Farrell and Cohen will continue their steady leadership as chairs of our Budget & Finance and Land Use & Transportation Committees respectively, while Supervisors Peskin, Tang, and Kim will have new leadership opportunities on the other three committees. The budget team remains very strong heading into the 2016 budget season. I am pleased to elevate Supervisor Yee to the year-round committee and bring Supervisor Kim on board the five-person committee. Our newest colleague Supervisor Peskin will join the Land Use & Transportation Committee, where I know he will work very hard. Continuing on the committee are Chair Cohen and Supervisor Wiener, perhaps the hardest worker I know and a steadfast transportation advocate. I partnered with Supervisor Kim, a former School Board President and the outgoing chair of the City & School District Select Committee, to sunset that committee and transfer its responsibilities to the Public Safety & Neighborhood Services Committee (PSNS), where Supervisor Kim will now serve as chair. PSNS meets more regularly and has greater legislative authority than the former City & School District Select Committee. And Neighborhood Services is the right place for school district issues, as there is perhaps no neighborhood service more vital than our children’s schools. Thank you to my colleagues for your input in this process. The 2016 Board of Supervisors will have very balanced and effective committees, and I am excited to see them do the people's work. Effective Monday January 25th, the 2016 committees are: Budget & Finance Government Audit & Oversight Mark Farrell, Chair Aaron Peskin, Chair Katy Tang, Vice Chair Norman Yee, Vice Chair Norman Yee, Member London Breed, Member Jane Kim, Temporary Member Scott Wiener, Temporary Member City Hall 1 Dr. Carlton B.
