Mandelman is moving forward with the legislation to expand mental health/substance abuse conservatorships in the Rules Committee, and he’s holding a hearing to see what resources the city has to accommodate the law. Presumably his line of questioning will follow up on recommendations from the city’s April 2018 performance audit of DPH’s Behavioral Health Services, which repeatedly emphasized the need for more intensive case managers, among other needs.
In other news, he and other Supes have called on SFMTA to “daylight” intersections, which will mean the loss of one parking spot at each corner of the intersection to improve visibility. Let the parking wars begin!
Also, not sure how I missed this last week, but apparently Peskin reintroduced his controversial legislation mandating a Conditional Use Permit for most home expansions, which is co-sponsored by Mandelman.
