Okay, seems that the Brown state building at 505 Van Ness (where the
CPUC offices are) is where SF central committees are allowed to have
their meetings, instead of City Hall (most counties use their county
Supervisor chambers, which is probably why we were told that the law
required that we be given access to Supervisor chambers, but the law
simply requires that some state building within the county be offered.
And sadly we have no shortage of state buildings in SF.
Michael, it seems like you're the ringleader of the "starve the beast"
caucus, so would you be interested in researching this option?
ELECTIONS CODE
SECTION 7870-7871
7870. The Department of General Services shall permit any committee that
desires to do so to hold meetings in a state building within
the county, at least one of which meetings each month shall be
without charge.

However, before you read into the rest of the surrounding Elections code
and wonder why we don't have 50 men/women on the State CentComm or
alternating choices for Chairman from North and South, read through the
following Supreme Court ruling in EU V. S.F. CTY. DEMOCRATIC CENT. COMM..
According to the ruling, there is no compelling State interest to regulate
the internal affairs of a political Party. Therefore, most of the
election code regulating the Party has been voided.

Does anyone have the name/number of the statute that covers this?
Thanks for your help,
Rob
