Committee reappoints and appoints members to three Assessment Appeals Boards

The San Francisco Rules Committee on Oct. 10 considered Items 2 through 4 and moved to reappoint and appoint members to Assessment Appeals Boards (AABs) 1, 2 and 3.

Clerk read the items and several applicants and incumbents provided brief statements about qualifications. Deputy City Attorney Anne Pearson reviewed state and local law and said the committee had no residency requirement for AAB members. Chair Aaron Peskin moved to reappoint and appoint the listed candidates (Jeffrey Morris, Christine Nelson, Adena Gilbert and others) and to note a residency waiver for Adena Gilbert; the roll call recorded Supervisors Chan, Vice Chair Madeline and Chair Peskin voting aye and the motion passed without objection.

Candidates who spoke described long careers in real-estate valuation, administrative law and appraisal practice; several incumbents highlighted their previous experience on assessment appeals panels.

The committee closed public comment on these items and forwarded the appointments as a committee report to the full Board.

What happens next: Appointments will proceed through the Board process as a committee report; the committee did not identify additional reporting requirements for these appointments.
