Create new Department of Sanitation and Streets

Prop B aims to address corruption in the Department of Public Works by creating a new Department of Sanitation and Streets, moves DPW oversight from the City Administrator to a new Public Works Commission, and requires new annual audits and analysis.

As techworkers.vote said, “this is performative accountability.” Commissions don’t have actual power, and moving people to a new department---to the tune of at least $2.5 million annually---doesn’t change any incentives.
