What the board approved: The resolution authorizes the city to begin the eminent‑domain process to acquire a leasehold interest the SFPUC says it needs to complete the Central Shops relocation work. The measure opens a formal process that could include appraisal, negotiation and, if necessary, condemnation procedures to acquire the leasehold interest of an operator identified in the staff presentation as Blue Line Rentals.

Board concerns and debate: Supervisors David Campos, Matt Haney (noted elsewhere) and others discussed procedural questions; Supervisors Aaron Peskin and Mark Farrell (Peskin spoke at length) expressed frustration with the project’s prior handling. Peskin said he had supported acquiring the property earlier but criticized the absence of an appraisal at the time of acquisition and said lease‑buyout costs had ballooned; he contrasted an earlier estimate of roughly $200,000 for the lessee’s leasehold with current buyout costs that now appear to approach $1,200,000 and said the city should have deducted that value from the purchase price. Supervisor London Breed joined Peskin in a no vote.

Real‑estate presentation: John Updike, director of the city’s Real Estate Division, told the board an appraisal of the leasehold interest done later validated the acquisition price and said the transaction moved quickly in 2015 and 2016 because the city needed to secure the fee interest from the landowner. Updike said Blue Line Rentals is a national company (about 140 locations) and the Galvez site operated as a company‑owned location with about 10 employees; he said the transaction outcome would help keep more than 80 SFPUC Central Shops employees in the neighborhood when they relocate.

Vote and outcome: The resolution was adopted on a roll call of 9 ayes and 2 noes, with Supervisors Peskin and Breed voting no. The board held a Committee of the Whole public hearing on the item earlier in the meeting as required by law.

What was not decided: Adoption of the resolution of necessity initiates the eminent‑domain process; it does not itself determine final acquisition price or the outcome of any condemnation hearing. Updike and the city attorney’s office noted that additional procedures are required under state eminent‑domain law before title transfers.

Voices: Opponents on the board criticized process, appraisal timing and the escalation of projected leasehold costs. Real‑estate staff said the subsequent appraisal supported the price and that the city moved quickly to secure the fee interest from the seller so as not to lose the property to a different buyer.","The Board of Supervisors approved a resolution of necessity to authorize acquisition by eminent domain of the leasehold at 1975 Galvez Avenue to permit the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s central‑shops relocation.

What Campos proposed: Campos said the proposal would provide $5 million for a calendar year to build a coordinated program of representation. He said roughly half of the requested funds would strengthen the Public Defender’s capacity to represent detained immigrants — the office would be authorized to add up to 10 attorneys — and the remainder would be awarded to community‑based legal services providers to represent non‑detained immigrants and provide outreach and screening.

Sponsor’s rationale and numbers presented: Campos said San Francisco has about 44,000 undocumented residents, including roughly 11,000 from Mexico and 10,000 from China, and he emphasized that more than 1,500 immigrants were already in active detention proceedings. He told the board that immigrants with counsel are far more likely to be released from detention and to obtain relief in immigration court, and he urged the city to act now, before federal policy changes could quickly lead to deportations.

Structure and partners: Campos described a joint model that pairs the Public Defender’s office for detained defense with community organizations that provide removal‑defense services and outreach for non‑detained people. He said the plan draws on models used in New York and on discussions with Public Defender Jeff Adachi and multiple community organizations.

Public comment and community support: Dozens of community groups and legal providers spoke in support during public comment or were present at a rally earlier in the day. Speakers representing Pangea Legal Services, La Raza Centro Legal, Dolores Street Community Services and other providers urged the board to adopt sustained funding and praised the coordinated model. Multiple speakers described the effort as both a legal necessity and a moral/ public‑safety measure to keep families from being separated.

Action status: Campos introduced the supplemental appropriation and asked the board to act quickly; the transcript records the introduction and a pledge of support from multiple supervisors but does not show final board approval during this meeting. Campos and several members said they would work with Mayor’s Office staff and the budget process to move the item forward.

What was not decided: The transcript does not record a final appropriation vote or full program design details such as eligibility criteria, contracting mechanisms, or precise administrative oversight. Campos said the Public Defender would be a principal implementer for detained cases and community organizations for non‑detained cases, but contracting and implementation details were left to follow‑up discussions.

Voices and who spoke in support: In addition to Campos, speakers from the legal‑services community included Nilu Frikansari (Pangea Legal Services), Vicky Castro (La Raza Centro Legal), Anna Herrera (Dolores Street Community Services) and other community representatives. Supervisor comments on the item showed broad support across multiple board members present at the meeting.","Supervisor David Campos introduced a supplemental appropriation proposal to fund universal legal representation for immigrants in San Francisco, citing immediate needs for detained and at‑risk residents and asking for a $5 million calendar‑year allocation with funds split between the Public Defender and community legal organizations.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6596462,"San Francisco bars new fossil‑fuel leases on city land, orders inspections and ‘just transition’ planning",903,234000,1137000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3006158-c7fa07984ef171c5ef5d48755f4311f5&start=234&end=1137","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3006158-c7fa07984ef171c5ef5d48755f4311f5/thumbnail_234000.jpg","/articles/6596462/San-Francisco-County/California/San-Francisco-bars-new-fossilfuel-leases-on-city-land-orders-inspections-and-just-transition-planning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6596462-5e56b136bd051fd0aabe38851a26e48a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771106244&Signature=GRfKs-LgSmG3GFPVuqVfntNTifkh03kdDD3bBM6FLtCKGGwd5b5WV4~TaIqvyggSaRlq4e19MFf~WG~n6I6Tg69UAYvLBK9EuShOs-RvUnAdnSqWUpPOZJ3uxuZiJk489BwH2AEF7b0yIqvxhrxAqFkth1xaWkXeen3FVhNKL6vddFX6WKuF~T-8FdKdaPrGAk3rzRe263o-Ew27nKggZ5zsFHtSxl66TdWOoG9vj39Z83wwTbHYKnyOT1RJiJs4tjJPz3Eriq28YSAw2-iRqN9kEJrFMywTg8axDtftVR3cPduWh9jEhdkSj--WbOZPLVh~7mGMbkL9GtB8NqjJKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance banning the city from entering into or extending leases that allow extraction of fossil fuels from city‑owned land and to require inspections and planning for future, constructive uses of any such properties.

Supervisor John Avalos, the ordinance sponsor, said the measure is intended to move city land out of fossil‑fuel production and toward renewable uses. Avalos described a “just transition” process that would inspect city properties, verify compliance with environmental laws by current lessees and evaluate uses such as solar arrays, recreation or habitat restoration while considering local job impacts. “For city property that is currently leased for fossil fuel production … the ordinance directs the director of real estate to create a just transition plan for the property,” Avalos said.

Why it matters: The ordinance targets city control of its land and revenue streams tied to extraction. Avalos said the city receives dwindling royalties from legacy leases — including proceeds that support the public library and Recreation and Park — and argued the city can both reduce fossil‑fuel production on its land and pursue renewable uses that can generate rent while aligning with the city’s climate goals.

What the ordinance requires and what proponents said: Avalos said the measure (1) bars the city from entering new leases or extending existing leases for extraction; (2) orders inspections of currently leased properties to evaluate environmental compliance; and (3) requires the real‑estate director to draft a just‑transition plan assessing constructive future uses focused on renewable power generation, recreation or habitat restoration with attention to job creation. Avalos cited a preliminary San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (PUC) feasibility review that identified PUC‑owned acreage in Kern and Fresno counties as suitable for solar projects. He told the board the city has about 484 acres of currently unused land on what he described as the Furman estate and said comparable solar projects in the area are “generating over $1,000 an acre in rent per year more than what the city is currently getting from the lease with Chevron,” a figure Avalos attributed to PUC analysis.

Avalos also framed the ordinance within climate science and international targets. He presented carbon‑budget figures during his remarks — for example, categories of fossil‑fuel reserves and numerical estimates — and attributed those numbers to climate‑science sources while arguing those figures justify local action to “keep it in the ground.” Those scientific numbers are reported here as Avalos presented them to the board.

Implementation and enforcement: Avalos and city staff said inspections would determine whether current lessees are complying with environmental laws; if not, the city could consider enforcement remedies, including lease termination. The ordinance directs the real‑estate director to prepare the just‑transition plan and to evaluate potential renewable‑energy projects; PUC staff told the board they had already done a preliminary feasibility study identifying portions of the properties as suited to solar development.

Vote and next steps: The council adopted the ordinance on a unanimous roll call. The board asked city staff (real estate, the PUC and related departments) to implement the inspection and prepare the just‑transition work called for in the ordinance, which will return to the relevant departments for execution and monitoring.

What was not decided: The ordinance does not itself terminate any specific lease immediately; it directs inspections and a planning process. It does not specify precise timelines for breaking or renegotiating individual contracts, and it does not include a dollar figure for replacement revenues to libraries or parks if lease income declines.

Voices: Avalos credited staff and outside advocates for research identifying city properties and cited work by community groups. He named Jeremy Pollock (his office) and Jed Holtzman of 350 Bay Area and acknowledged John Updike in the real‑estate division and PUC staff for input on feasibility for renewable projects.

Ending note: The ordinance sends a clear policy signal from San Francisco: the city will not expand fossil‑fuel extraction on its land and will require evaluations and planning to transition existing fossil‑fuel‑producing sites toward non‑extractive uses that the city says better align with climate objectives.","The Board of Supervisors unanimously passed an ordinance prohibiting new or extended city leases for fossil‑fuel extraction on city‑owned land and directed a real‑estate review and just‑transition plan for currently leased properties, including those tied to Chevron, the sponsor said.","actionData","errors"]
