Board of Supervisors conducts remote meeting amid COVID-19 health emergency

In a move to prioritize safety during the ongoing COVID-19 health emergency, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has transitioned to remote meetings. The legislative chamber and committee room are closed, but board members will participate virtually, ensuring they can engage fully in discussions.

Public participation remains a key focus, with opportunities for community members to voice their opinions on agenda items. Viewers can tune in via channel 26 or sfgovtv.org, and public comments can be made by calling (415) 655-0001. Participants will need to enter the meeting ID and follow prompts to join the speaker line when their topic of interest arises.

For those preferring to submit comments in writing, emails can be sent to the Rules Committee Clerk, Victor Young, at victor.young@sfgov.org. These submissions will be included in the official meeting records, ensuring that all voices are heard despite the physical distance.

This shift to remote meetings underscores the Board's commitment to maintaining public engagement while safeguarding the health of board members, city employees, and the community.
