Proposal impacts
Impact on city department heads
The department head's job could end at the mayor's decision without a finding of misconduct.
The department head's job is currently subject to removal by the commission that generally controls that decision.
Impact on city clerical workers
A city office assignment could move to another department if the mayor transfers its duties. The worker's pay remains protected.
A city office assignment currently follows the department responsible for its duties. The mayor lacks the proposed transfer power.
Impact on city taxpayers
City staffing costs could rise if the mayor hires deputies to oversee departments. Supervisors would still approve their funding.
City staffing costs currently exclude deputies hired under this proposal. Existing rules restrict deputy mayors from supervising many departments.
Impact on San Francisco residents
