[Sustain] Zoo Hearing! (Supervisors) Monday, Jan 28, 11am, City Hall Room 250!

[Eric Brooks]

The Zoo will get its first real public hearing in the Board of 
Supervisors' Government Audits and Oversight Committee this Monday 
around 11am in City Hall Room 250. The Zoo is the first item on the agenda.

The Zoological Society, as it did at the bogus joint Parks/Zoo 
Commission meeting earlier this month, will stack public comment with 
scores of their employees and volunteers to say that everything is ok at 
the Zoo, and that management and operations should not be changed.

If we are going to overcome this and make serious dramatic change, we 
have to show up!

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a closed session with the City Attorney at 10am 
which may or may not last a full hour before the hearing is opened to 
the public.

Here's the hearing link, followed by the agenda

Conference with City Attorney

[Convene in Closed Session - Anticipated Litigation - City as Plaintiff 
and/or Defendant] Motion that the Government Audit and Oversight 
Committee of the Board of Supervisors convene in closed session with the 
City Attorney for the purpose of conferring with, or receiving advice 
from, the City Attorney regarding anticipated litigation involving the 
City related to the December 25, 2007 tiger incident at the San 
Francisco Zoo. Government Code Section 54956.9(a) and San Francisco 
Administrative Code Section 67.10(d) permit this closed session. 
Discussion in open session concerning these matters would likely and 
unavoidably prejudice the position of the City in the pending lawsuits 
and claims.
