 Approves Measure By 3-0 Vote; New 7 Member Board Will Have 2/3 Tenants   
 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO VOTE ON JULY 13  COME TO THE RALLY TO SUPPORT SAFE 
 & STRONG RENT CONTROL ON JULY 12, NOON, CITY HALL  pdf Version of July 12 
 Rally Flyer available online at http://www.sftu.org/hot.html  About 150 
 tenants turned out on April 24 to plan for stronger rent control by 
 reforming how the Rent Board Commission (the Board which oversees and 
 enforces the rent control law). Attendees debated various methods of 
 reforming how the Commissioners get appointed, with a particular goal of 
 ensuring that tenants are adequately represented on our Rent Board. 
 Currently, tenants hold a minority of the seats on the Board (2 of 5), 
 while we make up 2/3 of the city! Also, the 5 members currently are all 
 appointed by the Mayor, and serve at the Mayor's "pleasure." Tenants at the 
 April 24 meeting chose to propose a charter amendment for November to 
 create a new Rent Board which would have 7 members, 4 appointed by the 
 Supervisors and 3 by the Mayor. The new Board will be representative of the 
 tenant/property owner makeup in San Francisco: since there's 2/3 tenants in 
 SF. the Board will have 2/3 tenants on it.  We now need to get six 
 Supervisors to sponsor this proposed Charter Amendment–Get Involved: Call 
 282-6656 to find out how you can help or go to Rent Board Reform Section to 
 learn more and see how you can help and to contact your Supervisor to 
 support strong rent control through Rent Board Reform.  \n
