Public Comment

The Charter Reform Working Group is a working group, not a policy body. While the Working Group is not required to take public comment, we welcome public comment at the end of the meeting. We aim to hear from all who want to speak, however the meeting chairs may shorten public comment in the event of logistical limitations.

We also welcome public participation via email. Public comments sent to CharterReform@sfgov.org will be shared with the Controller’s Office, the Mayor’s Office, and Supervisor Mandelman's Office.
