San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee will return to the Board of Supervisors' chambers on Tuesday for his second voter-mandated monthly mayoral appearance.
The appearances are required after nearly 60 percent of city voters passed Proposition C in November in response to often contentious relations between the former board and then-Mayor Gavin Newsom.
But Newsom was elected the state's lieutenant governor in the same election, and Lee was chosen as interim mayor.
According to the rules set up by the board, Lee made his first appearance last month and answered questions submitted the previous week by supervisors in odd-numbered districts.
Some supervisors had argued for more spontaneity to be allowed in the proceedings; Lee's appearance was anything but.
He read scripted answers to questions on topics such as the city's budget and pension reform, and joked to reporters afterward that he would try to be more compelling the next time.
District 10 Supervisor Malia Cohen asked what the city is doing to clean up and reuse the site left vacant by the Potrero Power Plant, which ceased operations earlier this year.
