San Francisco Board of Supervisors
Encyclopedia
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is the legislative body within the government
of the City and County of San Francisco, California
, United States
.
, being simultaneously a charter city
and charter county with a consolidated government, a status it has had since 1856. Since it is the only such consolidation in California, it is therefore the only California city with a mayor who is also the county executive, and a county board of supervisors that also acts as the city council
.
, who represents District 3.
How the Board of Supervisors shall be elected has been a bone of contention in recent San Francisco history. Throughout the United States, almost all cities and counties with populations in excess of 20,000 divide the jurisdiction into electoral districts (in cities, often called "wards") to ensure proportionate representation of the whole community and to evenly distribute the community interaction workload among the members of the governing body (city council, county board of supervisors, etc.). But San Francisco, notwithstanding a population of over 700,000, was often an exception.
Prior to 1977 and again from 1980 through 2000, the Board of Supervisors was elected at-large, with all candidates appearing together on the ballot. The person who received the most votes was elected President of the Board of Supervisors, and the next four or five (depending on how many seats were up for election) were elected to seats on the board. District elections were enacted by Proposition T in November 1976. The first district-based elections in 1977 resulted in a radical change to the composition of the Board, including the election of Harvey Milk
, only the third openly gay or lesbian individual (and the first gay man) elected to public office in the United States. Following the assassinations of Supervisor Milk and Mayor George Moscone
a year later by former Supervisor Dan White
, district elections were deemed divisive and San Francisco returned to at-large elections until the current system was implemented in 2000.
District elections were repealed by Proposition A in August 1980 by a vote of 50.58% Yes to 49.42% No.
An attempt was made to reinstate district elections in November 1980 with Proposition N but it failed by a vote of 48.42% Yes to 51.58% No.
District elections were reinstated by Proposition G in November 1996 with a November runoff.
Runoffs were eliminated and replaced with instant-runoff voting
with Proposition A in March 2002.
Under the current system, supervisors are elected by district to four-year terms. The City Charter provides a term limit of two successive four-year terms and requires supervisors to be out of office for four years after the expiration of their second successive term before rejoining the Board, through election or appointment, again. A partial term counts as a full term if the supervisor is appointed and/or elected to serve more than two years of it.
The terms are staggered so that only half the board is elected every two years, thereby providing continuity. Supervisors representing odd-numbered districts (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11) are elected every fourth year counted from 2000 (so, 2000, 2004, 2008, etc.). Supervisors representing even-numbered districts (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) were elected to transitional two-year terms in 2000, thereafter to be elected every fourth year (2002, 2006, 2010, etc.). The most recent supervisoral elections were held on November 2, 2010
.
The President of the Board of Supervisors, under the new system, is elected by the members of the Board from among their number. This is typically done at the first meeting of the new session commencing after the general election.
In the November 2006 elections, Supervisor Fiona Ma
chose not to seek reelection in District 4, having won the Democratic nomination for California State Assembly
District 12. Ed Jew
was elected to fill her seat, winning from a field of six candidates, including one supported by Ma and another supported by Mayor Gavin Newsom
. All other Board of Supervisors elections were won by incumbents.
For the 2008 election, AsianWeek
reported that ten of the 11 candidates for District 3 supervisor met for a town hall debate in lower Nob Hill on June 16. The community board of the district asked the candidates about the issues affecting the area, which is one of the most densely populated Asian-Pacific-American neighborhoods, and all the candidates addressed the problem of homelessness in the area.
On September 25, 2007, Carmen Chu was appointed to replace the embattled San Francisco Supervisor Ed Jew
, who was then suspended and later convicted of extortion and bribery.
