but how would the board do this? san francisco's charter guided -- offered little guidance. >> although it was obvious we would appoint an interim mayor, there was no time line for the two to occur. we looked to outside counsel for answers. they researched those questions. while they researched the legal angle, we began the research on the parliamentary level. at the beginning of the calendar year 2010, we started to craft a generic process for a successor for mayor. being a parliamentarian of the board, i have been working on the process itself. i have been working with two one and parliamentarians in the city. we did some role-playing and tried to contemplate all of the different variables that the board would encounter in appointing a successor mayor. >> the first time i became aware of the process as when my editor and myself asked us how the process would work. we quickly became tongue tied and did not have an answer. you went to the clerk of the board of supervisors to ask, the difference supervisors, the city

i urge you not to bring this amendment to the full board. it does seem to violate the rights of the voter. i know the board of supervisors is -- and the mayor are unduly burdened by many initiatives that are passed by voters, but this is not the way to correct that. i can't believe that if this did go forward that it would not be overturned by a court at some near future daytime. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. chair kim. judy berkowitz. supervisors, where's the beef? show me the money. there's no -- on this. this as is, as mr. welch said, a solution in search of a problem. there is no ordinances or declarations passed in the past 25, 350 years. mr. welch came up with numbers but where's column a with the exact ledge. column b where has it gone to the voters to change in any way and column c, what the outcome was in that? there's no evidence anywhere that there's a need for this. it is reported to be good government, but it's taking away all -- including the signature initiated initiatives, it's taking a

so is the board. in terms of the recommendation of it being one time in nature, i would categorize it as that, as the savings are only going to accrue for not paying the salaries for one year. you're number two, will not have the savings because it will be a full-time individual by that time. >> first of all, i do not think that we have attrition savings in the port. we do have it in the airport, quite a bit. historic way, madam chair, since we have been reviewing the budgets, attritions savings has been a constant and ongoing savings for the city. i understand your point. we could look at this either way. but certainly, historic way, the mayor's office takes a certain factor of attrition savings. historic with a budget analyst reviews that and comes up with either an agreement or recommendation on an increase, so that is why we have kept it in the ongoing account. supervisor chu: i understand that point, and you are correct, it was referring to the airport before the end of the port, but i think that

23, the clerk of the board proposed a process for nomination for mayor, which the board debated, amended, and eventually passed. >> a board member read the nominated may not produce pig in the discussion or vote on the competitor nominees. if the nominee of a board member nominee has been withdrawn, the board member may no longer have a conflict and could return to the room and to dissipate. >> basically, a process that i am proposing is one in which, one, would maximize per dissipation. members of the board of supervisors. it would in franchise as many of our individual electors as possible in the decision making. >> this vote we will be taking is without question the most important vote we will cast as members of the board of supervisors. >> alioto-pier, there are 11 ayes. this motion is approved as amended. >> there was a lot of ambiguity run the process. to have the board to settle on a process felt really good, that we had to tackle that part of it. >> if you are a supervisor, you cannot vote for yourself. if you are nominated for that office, you cannot participate in the discussio
