Institutionalizes a task force to recommend changes to city commissions and advisory bodies every 10 years.  \nVote YES  \nVoters have passed more than 100 amendments to the charter in the 30 years since its last comprehensive cleanup. Although the proposed measure contains many individual amendments, nearly all are technical, administrative, or housekeeping changes that simplify and modernize the charter without materially changing city policy. Consistent with SPUR’s Charter for Change recommendations, the measure would reduce  \nunnecessary charter detail, modernize many outdated provisions, simplify the city’s commission and advisory board structure, and shift certain functions and bodies to the administrative code so they can be amended in the future without voter approval. While the fi nal package avoids more controversial but needed reforms, it nonetheless reflects a worthwhile housekeeping package worthy of voters’ support.  \nRead our complete analysis at [spurvoterguide.org](spurvoterguide.org)  \nSF Prop B  \nPublic Bank  \nCHARTER AMENDMENT  \nEstablishing a Municipal Finance Corporation and a Public Bank  \nEstablishes the purpose and governance structure of a municipal fi nance corporation and public bank to invest in affordable housing, small businesses, and climate sustainability and resilience.  \nVote NO  \n SPUR's Recommendation  \nSPUR recognizes the significant potential of a public bank as a tool to advance San Francisco’s public priorities and expand the city’s capacity to invest in communities. A well-designed public bank could help address gaps in access to capital by fi nancing affordable housing, small businesses, climate resilience, and environmental justice projects that traditional fi nancial institutions may underserve. It could also keep more public resources circulating locally, provide flexible fi nanci ng, and create revolving loan programs that allow public dollars to support multiple projects over time.  \nHowever, Prop. B’s proposed charter amendment does not reflect SPUR’s principles of good  \ngovernance.
