A city official is on paid leave following an investigation. This individual held a high-ranking position in the treasurer's office for the city and county. The leave was a result of an inquiry that began late last year.

Details about the situation are limited, but it is known that the investigation was prompted by a probe from The San Francisco Standard. Further information about the circumstances surrounding the official's leave can be found through the Standard's reporting. The official in question had been involved in a matter related to a significant amount of city funds, reportedly in the millions.
