San Francisco — The Rules Committee on Feb. 12 unanimously advanced multiple mayoral appointments, including the reappointment of Lydia Ely to the redevelopment successor agency oversight board and the committee’s selection of two Entertainment Commission members following a competitive field of applicants.
Lydia Ely, deputy for housing at the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, spoke about the oversight board’s limited role — chiefly approving the Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule (ROPS) that OCII submits to the state — and said that SB 93 (2023) authorizes the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII) to complete "over 5,000 additional units of replacement housing," though Ely noted OCII does not expect to issue bonds under that authorization until fiscal year 2025–26 because of timing constraints.
The committee also considered two appointments to the Housing Stability Fund Oversight Board and voted to appoint Edward Perraillon (term ending 12/13/2026). Landsberg read a statement on Perraillon’s behalf describing a decade of affordable‑housing development experience and work on projects delivering more than 1,000 homes across the Bay Area.
On the Entertainment Commission, the committee heard from four candidates for a single industry seat and from an additional applicant for the other seat. Anthony Schlander, a local producer, was chosen for seat 1. After hearing statements from Asia Nicole Duncan, Benjamin McGrath, Chris Hastings (read by a representative), and Maria Davis, Chair Supervisor Hillary Ronan said she favored an owner/operator for the particular seat given the city's nightlife recovery needs and recommended Maria Davis for seat 2. The committee then voted to appoint Schlander to seat 1 and Davis to seat 2; all votes were recorded as aye.
During the discussion members referenced nightlife recovery, harm‑reduction efforts (including a candidate’s note that her venue carried Narcan), and the need to streamline permitting and support for small businesses and event operators. Public comment included a Teamsters representative who urged support for Asia Nicole Duncan based on her activism and harm‑reduction work.
The committee’s votes on these appointments were unanimous. The appointments will be transmitted to the full Board of Supervisors as committee recommendations.
