Mayor
Current guardian
Tandai Farrell
The mayor of San Francisco is the chief executive branch of the city and county government. The mayor has responsibility for enforcing all municipal laws, managing and coordinating municipal departments and intergovernmental activities, establishing policies and agendas to the Supervisory Board, and preparing and submitting city budgets at the end of each fiscal year. The mayor has the authority to approve or veto the bill authorized by the San Francisco Supervisory Board, participate in the meeting of the Supervisory Council and its committees, appoint a replacement to fill vacancies in all elected offices in the city until the election, appoint a member of the Council as mayor acting in his absence , and directing personnel in case of emergency. The mayor serves a four-year term and is limited to two consecutive periods. If the mayor dies or resigns, the President of the Supervisory Board considers the office as mayor act. This has happened twice since the 1970s: Dianne Feinstein became mayor of acting after the assassination of George Moscone in 1978, and London Breed became mayor of acting following Ed Lee's death from a heart attack in 2017.

Legal
The Municipal Government and San Francisco County are defined by the Municipal and San Francisco County Charter, which is similar to other districts in California. In accordance with its charter, San Francisco led to the release of several codified versions of its rules and regulations, San Francisco Municipal Codes . Any act that is prohibited or declared unlawful, and any failure to perform the necessary action, by ordinance is a minor crime offense, unless otherwise stated as a violation.
San Franciscan also uses a direct voting initiative to pass legislation.
San Francisco City Authority transcends city/district boundaries through the operation of San Francisco International Airport and a vast land that supports Hetch Hetchy Water System.
Health Commission
The Department of Public Health works through two Government divisions - the San Francisco Health Network and Health and Population Prevention. San Francisco Health Networks cover health systems with locations in several hospitals and primary care centers. The Division of Population Health and Prevention focuses on communities in SF and consists of three branches - the Health and Safety Branch, the Health Promotion and Health Prevention Branch, and the Public Health Service Branch.
San Francisco outbreak 1900 - 1904
In 1890 in San Francisco received heavy ship traffic from Asian cities currently dealing with plague. In 1989, a ship from Hong Kong was found to have two cases of plague in the ship, the corpses were washed away in the later bay, but no outbreaks occurred immediately on these preliminary findings. In 1900 a city health officer autopsied a Chinese man and found evidence of an outbreak. With anti-Chinese feelings already rampant across the city, the Ministry of Public Health quickly moved to Chinatown quarantine. Initially the quarantine was protested, not to protect China, but because of fears and doubts that the plague was indeed in the city. The mayor at the time, James D. Phelan, had created a health council that included several doctors on board, he demanded the health council have 100 doctors tracing the 12 block area that formed Chinatown for more epidemic cases. When more victims were found, the city's Health Council announced the outbreak and Chinatown quarantine was re-enacted.
Health officials shut down Chinese-owned businesses and any Chinese trying to leave the city had to go through the first inoculation with experimental drugs, leading to a court case between Mr. and Mrs. Wong Wai and the Department of Public Health. Mr Wai won a court case and the Public Health Department was ordered to stop the injections but city officials got support from the supervisory board to continue. The health authorities also sought to establish a detention camp for Asian descendants at Mission Rock in the Gulf but the idea was protested and shot down, in part because of fears about opening admitted outbreaks in San Francisco.
The fear of plague and prejudice against China is so high that many City officials debate burning Chinatown. The idea was talked about with popularity, especially since this was done in Honolulu. To prevent their homes being burned and to obtain broken quarantine, China tied Six Chinese Companies, some lawyers, and Chinese ministers (diplomats). Together, they can finally get the quarantine repealed again, this again in part because of fears the government openly confirms the outbreak.
The health authorities of twenty-one countries finally issued a resolution on California's negligence to take care of the outbreak in San Francisco and threatened to close all trade with California. This caused San Francisco entrepreneurs to take action and bring together the Chamber of Commerce, the Trade Council, the Traders Association, and other civil rights groups in the city to clean San Francisco from the plague. The city was cleared of the plague due to the efforts of these groups along with Sea Hospital Services, San Francisco health officials and new governor, George C. Pardee.
Other governments
In addition, several local government units in San Francisco operate independently from the city government. The five regional institutions - the Gulf Regional Government Association, the Metropolitan Transport Commission, the Gulf Region Air Quality Management District, the San Francisco Water Quality Control Agency and the Gulf Conservation and Development Commission - have jurisdiction over San Francisco and other Gulf Region counties, and San Francisco appoint representatives to their government councils.
There are several school districts working together with San Francisco. The San Francisco School of Integrated Districts is governed by the seven-member San Francisco Board of Education. The community college district at City College of San Francisco is governed by a seven-member elected Supervisory Board.
Some transit agencies provide transit services in San Francisco and adjacent districts, including the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), where residents elect the Board of Directors for districts 7, 8, and 9, Golden Gate Transit, Caltrain, San Francisco Bay Area Transport Authority Water Emergency, and Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Also notable are the independent police forces of the University of California, San Francisco and Presidio Trust Park Police and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The San Francisco Democratic Central Committee (SFDCC), the governing body of the Democratic Party of San Francisco, is the county's central committee of the California Democratic Party for San Francisco. The SFDCC was selected from the two districts of the Assembly in San Francisco and consists of 24 members, with the division of 14/10 members between the two districts of the Assembly based on the number of registered Democrats.
