San Francisco Rules Committee approves Moses Corette's reappointment to Oversight Board

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors Rules Committee convened on January 23, 2025, to discuss key appointments and public access initiatives. The meeting, held in a hybrid format, allowed both in-person and remote participation, emphasizing the board's commitment to equitable public access.

The primary focus of the meeting was the reappointment of Moses Corette to the Redevelopment Successor Agency Oversight Board, a position he has held previously. Corette, a long-time member of Local 21 and a respected figure within the San Francisco Planning Department, expressed his eagerness to continue serving the city. He highlighted ongoing concerns regarding the financial status of the Mexican Museum, particularly in relation to a significant $10 million grant, indicating that the oversight board has been actively questioning staff about the museum's fundraising efforts.

The committee unanimously approved Corette's reappointment, reflecting confidence in his ability to address critical issues facing the oversight board. The motion to amend the original proposal was also passed without objection, ensuring that Corette's role will continue to be pivotal in overseeing redevelopment efforts in the city.

In addition to the reappointment, the meeting underscored the board's efforts to enhance public engagement through its hybrid meeting format, allowing for greater community involvement in local governance. As the board moves forward, the implications of these discussions will be closely monitored, particularly regarding the financial oversight of significant cultural projects like the Mexican Museum.
