\"It is unacceptable to have thousands of people on our streets where they cannot shelter in place and keep themselves safe,\" Supervisor Matt Haney said when he introduced the resolution, summarizing testimony from residents and providers. The board adopted the resolution with a roll‑call vote recorded as 10 ayes (one supervisor temporarily absent at times during the meeting).

Nut graf: The measure responds to mounting public comment and public‑health guidance that individuals in congregate settings and on the street face heightened risk. Sponsors said private rooms should be prioritized both for people who test positive and those at high medical risk, and that the city should depopulate congregate shelters where feasible and rapidly lease available rooms.

Supporters and public commenters pointed to counts and conditions. Haney cited Department of Public Works and program figures noting roughly 25 public pit‑stop bathrooms with only three operating 24 hours, and he said the city had about 5,000 people living on the streets. Multiple public commenters, service providers and housing advocates called for immediate leasing of hotel rooms and for the city to coordinate emergency placement, citing examples from other counties.

Supervisor Hillary Ronan, who sponsored the ordinance creating the American Indian Cultural District earlier in the meeting, joined Haney and others in pressing for accelerated action. Service providers including the Homeless Emergency Service Providers Association and Compass Family Services urged the city to reimburse shelter operators and to deploy hotel rooms and supplies quickly.

Several public commenters attributed the urgency to public‑health risk and a lack of alternatives: \"Shelter in place on the sidewalk is not shelter in place,\" one speaker said. Others described successful private placements arranged by supervisors or community groups and urged citywide expansion.

The board's resolution asks the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, the Human Services Agency and the Department of Public Health to issue clear guidance, prioritize non‑congregate housing placements, and to accelerate use of vacant hotel rooms and other facilities \"to the extent possible.\" It also calls for clearer public reporting on progress.

Ending: The resolution passed unanimously; supervisors and staff said they expect the mayor's office and relevant departments to move quickly and that the board would follow up in committee and hearings. Public commenters and several supervisors urged the city to provide transparent daily reporting on placement numbers and supply distribution.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sanfrancisco Government tv - 158563800003/31/20 - Apr 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Supervisors on March 21 unanimously adopted a resolution urging public‑health orders and city action to prioritize non‑congregate shelter options — chiefly hotel and motel rooms — for people experiencing homelessness during the COVID‑19 crisis.","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},6599398,"Controller presents joint fiscal outlook warning of severe revenue losses from COVID‑19",860,4028000,4888000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3006291-8025f27567c4c14c2b09938b936649db&start=4028&end=4888","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3006291-8025f27567c4c14c2b09938b936649db/thumbnail_4028000.jpg","/articles/6599398/San-Francisco-County/California/Controller-presents-joint-fiscal-outlook-warning-of-severe-revenue-losses-from-COVID19","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6599398-51ba070f28c542272994c37798146c58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157263&Signature=aEgEr-cRLNTKipKqzEsPAo-TLnj3D9R3rbKhrxor55yQ2FJTTTpjJfCCSPxrFDYo7q7vbc42nXXikS2THD2HgKMZRILUt2zEchLAP~lMWloSmE8sp8JTibQ9uHY-SnPE~1J6o-Fja9yHETQavmAP~N8-u9d4RsrS87dqdlahmndkZ1kePmwGDZkchJgNwlLCHsUE0jO17xzGeVng0zP6Prwj~Lt3mtv7rfbyk6r0VpoQXVyAhA6NXXExUVeg6N59CwFIIOVtX4z2DpLfOoeHGXLktyIDbI4aUUzMnEdOdpOng5KF~FKH8KUKTVLU7nv90Au9zNLYWp-C2aaAiUdOQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Controller Ben Rosenfield told the Board of Supervisors on March 21 that the city faces steep, rapidly evolving revenue losses tied to the COVID‑19 emergency and the statewide shelter‑in‑place order.

\"We call this the joint report,\" Rosenfield said, describing a coordinated update produced by his office, the board's budget and legislative analyst, and the mayor's budget office. He said the offices are using two scenarios — a shorter, sharper shock with a quick recovery and a more extended downturn with a slower recovery — to frame likely impacts.

The report estimates the current fiscal year will suffer immediate, measurable losses in economically sensitive monthly taxes such as hotel, sales and parking taxes and in transfer taxes. Rosenfield said the joint projection shows a net shortfall in the current year of about $167 million to $287 million after offsets, and general‑fund losses of roughly $300 million to $600 million in fiscal 2020–21 under the two scenarios. \"A recession is near certain at this point if we are not already in one,\" Rosenfield said.

Nut graf: The presentation lays out high and low scenarios, identifies where revenue losses will appear immediately versus later, and flags key unknowns: emergency response costs, retirement fund losses that raise employer contributions in later years, and the form and timing of federal and state relief. Rosenfield urged supervisors to plan for multi‑year shortfalls and noted that while city reserves are at historic highs, they are not sufficient to cover the full range of projected losses.

Rosenfield highlighted recent data showing heavily damaged economic activity statewide, including more than one million new unemployment claims in California between March 13 and March 25. He said Moody's and other forecasters have repeatedly revised GDP projections during the emergency, underlining the high uncertainty facing municipal revenue forecasting.

He identified two buckets of city revenue impact: immediate monthly receipts (hotels, sales, parking, transfers) and delayed impacts (property and business taxes) that mostly surface in the next fiscal year. He described preliminary enterprise‑fund impacts at the Airport and Municipal Transportation Agency as especially severe and said the Port and other funds also face losses.

Rosenfield said the report does not yet include the city's emergency response costs and that the three offices will update the projection in April with estimated response expenses and more department‑level detail. He also noted the joint outlook assumes no budget actions; mayoral or board actions to reduce spending or draw reserves would change outcomes.

Response from supervisors: Supervisors used the committee hearing to press for detail and for options. Supervisor Norman Yee, the board president, and supervisors including Aaron Peskin, Ahsha Safaíe, and Sandra Fewer asked specifically about cash‑flow and reserve use. Rosenfield said reserves (about $590 million across rainy‑day and stabilization funds) will soften but not eliminate multi‑year gaps, and that penalties and interest revenues also matter to cash flow. He said federal stimulus provisions include an allocation for state and local government relief but that allocation's formula and timing remained unclear.

Ending: The joint report will be updated monthly, the controller said, with a fuller April report to include emergency costs, department revenue and expenditure trends, and further refinement of scenarios. The Board's Budget and Finance Committee planned follow‑up work the next day to review the new timeline and next steps for the city budget process.

\"This legislation will establish the first ever American Indian cultural district in the city and County of San Francisco,\" Supervisor Hillary Ronan said when she introduced the ordinance. Ronan said the district covers an area from Sanchez to Folsom Streets and spans portions of Districts 8 and 9 and would provide funding and coordination to preserve cultural resources and community programs.

Nut graf: Sponsors say the district would secure a home base for local American Indian cultural programming and history, provide targeted funding and enable coordination of services, particularly during the COVID‑19 emergency. Ronan said she intends to introduce a later amendment to expand the district's boundaries but supported bringing the originally proposed boundaries forward now to expedite funding.

Ronan listed community leaders and organizations involved in drafting the proposal, including the American Indian Cultural Center, Friendship House, and staff from the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development. She thanked supporters and said she expected near‑unanimous support; the board voted 11‑0 to pass the ordinance on first reading.

Ending: The ordinance passed first reading unanimously and will return for subsequent readings as required by the legislative process. Sponsors signaled they would bring a boundary amendment later and asked departments to coordinate implementation and funding once the ordinance completes the legislative cycle.","The Board voted unanimously to pass on first reading an ordinance to establish an American Indian Cultural District in and around the Mission District to preserve and coordinate cultural resources and programming.",{"_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},6599386,"Board urges governor and federal leaders to impose rent and mortgage moratoriums",8061,3194000,11255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3006291-8025f27567c4c14c2b09938b936649db&start=3194&end=11255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3006291-8025f27567c4c14c2b09938b936649db/thumbnail_3194000.jpg","/articles/6599386/San-Francisco-County/California/Board-urges-governor-and-federal-leaders-to-impose-rent-and-mortgage-moratoriums","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6599386-6d108047ade27046eff8fdccba3048a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157263&Signature=f7t~NmfGZZPnhsWUDlyxQY4I1~CzopZ06c2IH~QJD06ZOL0C3h~7Yv2YaWgi2f~6NjBPI2XUp5x7mn-Uham5I3uxwmzpGr8KvNfeH~lEkdMr~UusqDZSgKQsOcaG0rrZaAYGq6kfTUEHo5w0hgDwOgH-xgvV1A71N2zHxNmRX81x~BoDX3e1FhraABNIq~Q2T0g5vH8jw~qg-RYS7liAHinBfn9O2otlPd~1aKi-a0omVZsUNUuBzD28IP-kTYe9F-Av0TuI4dA-6FLcUKc1MWINsrXQJqSvfxlTQPlYgRLmri3HuXavj2rldjd7t7ucwza71VtRCuhZeu8EDndmUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution urging the governor and federal officials to impose immediate moratoriums on rent and mortgage payments during the COVID‑19 emergency, and to support state legislation offering broad eviction and foreclosure protections.

Supervisor Matt Mandelmann described two pending California bills he wants the legislature to adopt: legislation to bar foreclosures and most residential evictions during the state of emergency and a bill to pause commercial evictions. \"Through this resolution, San Francisco can help to speed the adoption of these critically needed protections for our state's and our city's renters, small businesses, and nonprofit and arts organizations,\" Mandelmann said.

Nut graf: The resolution asks state and federal leaders to act to prevent evictions, foreclosures and mortgage enforcement during the pandemic, and to consider retroactive relief tied to the state's declared emergency. Sponsors pointed to steep revenue declines for households and businesses and urged a statewide, coordinated pause to avoid mass displacement.

Mandelmann noted that the proposed state measures were being framed as urgency bills that, if passed, could take effect immediately and apply retroactively to the governor's emergency declaration in early March.

The board voted to adopt the resolution; a roll call recorded the measure's unanimous passage by supervisors present (10 ayes). Several supervisors and public commenters said they would continue to press state and federal leaders for action, and the board requested staff to follow state legislative developments.

Ending: The board's vote signals local support for state and federal relief measures and sets a policy tone for the city's advocacy; supervisors said they would track the bills and coordinate with advocates and legislators.","The Board adopted a resolution urging state and federal officials to impose moratoriums on rent, mortgage payments and foreclosures during the COVID‑19 emergency and to back state bills that would pause evictions and foreclosures.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6599388,"Board adopts resolution closing in‑person tax payments and shielding late penalties during shelter‑in‑place",2289,11551000,13840000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3006291-8025f27567c4c14c2b09938b936649db&start=11551&end=13840","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3006291-8025f27567c4c14c2b09938b936649db/thumbnail_11551000.jpg","/articles/6599388/San-Francisco-County/California/Board-adopts-resolution-closing-inperson-tax-payments-and-shielding-late-penalties-during-shelterinplace","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6599388-ab876e3473b3ff7f606d43ad9f686e00/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157263&Signature=mxAy-oTAon0o80095KnnO7L0~imRX5J6ywk5kjh17UWSa3yrp1-qm1bHVTKjxXNiTskAq7CsW0J4BepZqr51dHR41L463LqYagfXne3511~zf~WudOZtE7GR15I~9q3Vr0-Cc1DUWGeJDLRSShD~6aXbAJ1B6fpJzpg1sUQZbVnjVNp5E8OEU9e26n1T8yK83Er5rnMIfnkHridtd8~avwUuoO8V7X3PSopa6OkSHW9YOMOwwHO-JQJEd9vwQ3iCxM4tLwg~PAjPSm4aUfS47Unu~E0y1y4Lf9wbeyYNEzRj7jldkYfxNeP22YUkoqqEmtE74o2S9xg0jxdMXnCTOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Supervisors voted to close the City Hall walk‑in property‑tax payment location for the period of the public‑health shelter‑in‑place order and to prevent the imposition of late penalties while the office remains closed.

Supervisor Norman Yee and colleagues said the measure was intended to prevent taxpayers who cannot make an online or mailed payment from being assessed penalties while City Hall is closed. \"We are unable to provide taxpayers the ability to pay their taxes in person,\" Supervisor Sheng Thao (note: appearing as Supervisor Yi in the transcript) said when introducing the matter, citing the April 10 property‑tax due date.

Nut graf: The resolution instructs the treasurer and tax collector's office to treat the date as extended while the City Hall walk‑in counter remains closed, and it formalizes an administrative approach designed to prevent penalties from accruing on taxpayers who cannot access in‑person services because of the shelter‑in‑place order.

Treasurer Jose Cisneros addressed practical details: his office continued to accept payments online, by e‑check and by mail; he urged taxpayers who can pay to do so. He also said the treasurer's office accepts hardship penalty‑waiver applications and will consider hardship cases in light of the COVID‑19 emergency.

In discussion supervisors raised cash‑flow and fiscal tradeoffs. City Controller Ben Rosenfield and Treasurer Cisneros explained that under the county's collection arrangements the treasurer forwards property‑tax revenue to other taxing entities and that penalties and interest are a component of cash flow. Rosenfield said delays could affect penalty and interest revenue, which the controller estimated at roughly $13 million for the remainder of the fiscal year if collections are postponed.

Ending: The board adopted the imperative resolution after public comment and a roll‑call vote. Supervisors and staff said they would continue to encourage electronic payments and to process hardship waiver requests for those directly affected by the pandemic.","The Board voted to close the City Hall walk‑in property‑tax payment location for the period of the public‑health shelter‑in‑place order and to prevent the imposition of late penalties while the office remains closed.","actionData","errors"]
