Below are the principal actions recorded by roll call or unanimous consent.

- Dominion Voting Systems contract amendment (Item 2): The board authorized the Department of Elections to enter into the Fourth Amendment with Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., extending the agreement through Dec. 31, 2018 and increasing the not-to-exceed amount from $19,690,000 to approximately $21,900,000. The roll call was unanimous (11 ayes).

- Library fines and fees (Item 3): An ordinance to amend the administrative code to modify fines and fees for the public library passed unanimously on the same-house, same-call vote.

- Campaign and governmental conduct code (Item 4): An ordinance requiring members of city boards and commissions to file behested payment reports for solicited charitable contributions passed unanimously.

- Mission and Ninth Street Special Use District (Item 5): The board amended the planning code to create the Mission and Ninth Street Special Use District; the ordinance passed unanimously on same-house, same-call.

- Affordable housing fee alternative for small market-rate projects (Item 6): An ordinance creating an option for some smaller market-rate projects to direct affordable-housing fees to small-sites projects passed unanimously.

- Alex Nieto memorial in Bernal Heights Park (Item 7): An ordinance directing the Recreation and Park Department to install a memorial in honor of Alex Nieto, waive permit and inspection fees and affirm CEQA findings passed on roll call, 10 ayes and 1 no (Supervisor Farrell in dissent).

- Environment code restrictions on sale/distribution of bottled water on city property (Item 8): Amendment passed unanimously.

- Miscellaneous non-substantive code changes (Item 9): Amendments to various codes for non-substantive changes passed unanimously.

- Folsom Street project (Items 12–15 and 16–19): The board continued the public hearing items 12–15 related to demolition and construction at 2675 Folsom Street to the March 21, 2017 meeting by unanimous consent. For the associated conditional-use authorization items 16–19, appellants withdrew their conditional-use appeal; the board adopted item 17 and tabled items 18 and 19 by unanimous consent.

- Park Merced public service easement vacation order (Items 20–21): Sitting as a committee of the whole, the board held a public hearing and then on Item 21 approved the conditional vacation of certain SFPUC public service easements within Park Merced subphases 1A and 1B; the ordinance passed unanimously on first reading (11 ayes).

Several items generated debate or were continued for further work: the Vision Zero general-plan amendment (Item 22) was discussed at length and ultimately failed on roll call (1–10); multiple supervisors cited the need for more neighborhood outreach and clearer implementation language.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sanfrancisco Government tv - 148403520001/10/17 - Apr 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","On Jan. 10 the Board of Supervisors passed a slate of ordinances and an elections-contract amendment, approved a Park Merced easement vacation, and continued several planning appeals to March; one notable planning amendment (Vision Zero) failed.","taxTitle","San Francisco County, California","taxId",2862,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6599610,"Board rejects Vision Zero general-plan amendment after debate over implementation and outreach",1373,1444000,2817000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3006162-f96582af543a5387fb27880978cd834e&start=1444&end=2817","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3006162-f96582af543a5387fb27880978cd834e/thumbnail_1444000.jpg","/articles/6599610/San-Francisco-County/California/Board-rejects-Vision-Zero-general-plan-amendment-after-debate-over-implementation-and-outreach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6599610-3420cb6a524fc8a0c3bcfe46de09ef55/orig.mp4?Expires=1771165519&Signature=m6X9SEbRX3EXvnL4WoMh2TiPPK1R2le8P4l7rWKTfsj9je3xtlaOybv0vSrxD-JLGBVDsgZHYgL2X9YFvOA2uHH0Kz9lHqKdxHSPTRBhAH10VbcJBzyvjZyKCPvUf~4ba3IyKyhTUKiu75j0RBg49zhOUACUiXnTZjmss1~H4Da9woXFbsjYI1puVV5xeQcw~OQxb1jk5238xzlM8Jq5wEtDlbe1sr0Y9BpnLCBxhhDdLmpVNI9eqNtmReAejxATBc9SGaCn4S6ghb42EKIgxvLCGpIJcNrJo5xf9Wy8jjHRcxzoPU4qNXUAXOCnFK4thLAJ03A96m8pUVTRTP7q6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Jan. 10 rejected a proposed amendment to the general plan meant to implement the city’s Vision Zero pedestrian-safety policy, voting 10–1 after extended debate about outreach, equity and how the amendment would be implemented.

Supervisor Peskin and several colleagues said the planning department had not adequately engaged affected neighborhoods and left implementation details and equity considerations to later documents. Supervisor Peskin said the board should “send a message to the commission and to staff that we can improve this process as it relates to all general plan amendments.”

Planning Department staff said the amendment provides high-level policy language that was intended to acknowledge Vision Zero in the general plan and that implementation details, engineering standards and community planning would flow through existing project review, MTA processes and subsequent implementation actions. Lily Langlois of the Planning Department said the department is “happy to work with your office to develop the language that you think would be sufficient for this policy.”

Supervisor Yee, Supervisor Tang and several others said they would prefer to take more time to get the language right rather than approve a document that could be seen as singling out neighborhoods or missing equity language. Supervisor Tang raised a specific concern about a policy presumption against actuated pedestrian signals and asked that MTA standards be respected on a case-by-case basis.

Deputy City Attorney John Giffner explained the board’s procedural options: under the city’s process for general plan amendments, the board must vote up or down within 90 days, and the period in this case would expire Jan. 25. He said the board could vote down the amendment and send it back to the Planning Commission or pass it on first reading to buy two weeks to negotiate commitments and then decide on second reading.

On the roll call the board recorded 1 aye (Supervisor Cohen) and 10 nos (Supervisors Breed, Farrell, Feuer, Kim, Peskin, Ronan, Safai, Sheehy, Tang and Yi). The measure failed.","The Board of Supervisors voted down a general-plan amendment intended to incorporate Vision Zero pedestrian-safety policy into the city’s general plan, citing concerns about community outreach, equity language and implementation; vote was 10–1.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6599615,"Board approves $9 million appropriation to support free City College plan",928,137000,1065000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3006162-f96582af543a5387fb27880978cd834e&start=137&end=1065","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3006162-f96582af543a5387fb27880978cd834e/thumbnail_137000.jpg","/articles/6599615/San-Francisco-County/California/Board-approves-9-million-appropriation-to-support-free-City-College-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6599615-9e7e13fded39e2c7e90199750c98b31e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771165519&Signature=hZVifgrLUzg~9Mz0LQMpj0cvY-Ny3DLtoLx2KPfYfqMCsk6O1qn4H34gObG8oOTPa9D6Ebj7IzJqR84uEFHKEQKDNDfQr3-2NjO0oecPdPDshhVnJ6iRhrWIrGS2~TMYTTs9YuCfk4PLMxMmU1zsyzMuzVu-PtaKCpfSWHhu0LS9Y0bkcTCRSAmzqJ4D-hLdcXN2x4PN7pXRvLBZ-RxK1WMZ29fHcjvAfCTtmcG27-pahdiZnkqMSLjO~hnoGKzeAG3tG-XbKpd4aso4gGFsmw23gxu2SGgdg~Kq9mNzjVP-2WME53PtL3rexqeQxQV6bHFISHqgYDosNLIqcddEew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 10–1 on Jan. 10 to appropriate $9,000,000 of real property transfer tax revenue for fiscal year 2016–17 to support City College and place funds in the controller’s reserve pending the outcome of a November ballot measure to make City College free for San Francisco residents.

Supervisor Kim, the ordinance’s sponsor, framed the appropriation as an investment in “human capital,” saying: “I believe that a k through 14 education system should be universal and free.” Kim told colleagues the appropriation implements commitments made during the campaign for an “ultra luxury” real estate transfer tax she helped author and said the Office worked with labor groups and the City College board to craft the proposal.

The ordinance directs the appropriation now and places funds in reserve while the ballot measure is pending; supervisors repeatedly emphasized the appropriation follows the city’s commitment made during outreach and campaigning. Supervisor Asha Safai, supporting the supplemental, said means tests often exclude working families who nevertheless are priced out of higher education.

Supervisor Farrell cast the lone dissenting vote, saying he supports the policy goal but not the funding trade-offs. Farrell said the appropriation “strips our homeless budget in order to fund this proposal” and that, in his view, the city’s homeless services should have higher priority.

Supervisor Kim acknowledged constraints imposed by state law on taxing and said, as discussed in the meeting, real estate transfer taxes cannot be dedicated by state law and that is why the appropriation and reserve treatment were used. Kim also thanked City College Chancellor Susan Lam and said she will work with colleagues on implementation details in coming months.

On the roll call, Supervisors Breed, Cohen, Feuer, Kim, Peskin, Ronan, Safai, Sheehy, Chang and Yi voted aye; Supervisor Farrell voted no. The ordinance was finally passed.","The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a $9 million appropriation of real property transfer tax revenue to support a ballot measure and initial implementation steps to make City College tuition-free for city residents; the vote was 10–1.","actionData","errors"]
