Carmignani Quits Fire Commission

Donald Carmignani resigned his post on the San Francisco Fire Commission on September 24, the day after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and threats, resulting from an incident with his estranged wife. Carmignani, a member of the Marina Community Association’s Board of Directors, had only recently joined the commission, attending his first meeting on April 25, 2013. He was appointed to the commission by Mayor Ed Lee, whose office told the Chronicle that Lee had accepted Carmignani’s resignation so the former commissioner could focus on his “personal issues.”
