The legislation requires enhanced lighting and on-site security personnel through 3 a.m. for qualifying lots. The board passed the main body of the ordinance on a unanimous roll call during the meeting’s consent/adoption sequence, and then voted separately on a contested subsection that would require applicants to provide a list of employees and a declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, certifying that in the preceding 10 years certain named crimes were not committed by those employees. That subsection passed on the separate roll call by a narrow margin; the chair announced the provision \"stands.\"

The measure’s sponsor and co-sponsors framed it as a public-safety step to address violence associated with patrons leaving late-night entertainment venues and gathering in nearby, often-unmanned parking lots. The ordinance allows the police chief to waive some requirements for lots with a good safety record and clarifies the focus is on nighttime hours.

Several supervisors pressed for changes to the subsection on employee convictions. Supervisor John Avalos proposed dividing the file so members could vote separately on the sentence requiring the employee-conviction declaration; he said he would support the ordinance in general but opposed that sentence because it could conflict with the city’s reentry and hiring goals for people with criminal records. Supervisor David Campos and Supervisor Kim also raised concerns that the declaration could exclude otherwise qualified workers and cited local businesses that have hired and succeeded with employees who have prior convictions.

Board President Chu (presiding) explained that the contested sentence originated in earlier Police Code language and that the crimes enumerated are mostly those involving vehicles or vehicle-related theft and tampering. He said the requirement felt \"a bit onerous\" and that the item had been duplicated so the Public Safety Committee could revisit the language. President Chu said he preferred to move the ordinance forward and work with the police department and the committee to find a balanced alternative language that would not create an absolute bar to employment.

After the split votes, the board directed staff and committee members to continue discussions in Public Safety to consider amendments that would preserve public-safety protections while addressing reentry and employment concerns.

A separate committee review and possible revision was discussed as the next step; the presiding officer said the city attorney had advised that any substantive text changes (beyond dividing and voting on the sentence) would require referral back to committee.

Ending: The ordinance will take effect consistent with the City’s process for newly passed Police Code amendments; the board asked staff to return with committee work on alternative language for the employee-conviction requirement.

Campos said the task force would bring together city departments, worker advocates and responsible businesses to produce recommendations for the Board of Supervisors. He described wage theft as a persistent problem that harms workers, deprives government of tax revenue and gives unscrupulous employers an unfair advantage over law-abiding businesses.

Campos listed co-sponsors of the ordinance including Supervisor Mar, President Chu, Supervisor Kim, Supervisor Avalos and Supervisor Olague. He thanked the Progressive Workers Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce, the Golden Gate Restaurant Association and the Office of Labor Standards and Enforcement for their input during drafting.

Campos said the measure builds on the board’s previous, unanimous actions to strengthen the Office of Labor Standards’ enforcement powers. He said the task force would consider whether additional studies or research were needed and would allow stakeholders to coordinate enforcement and prevention efforts.

Ending: The ordinance was introduced for consideration; no final vote on the ordinance was recorded at the meeting. Campos said he would recognize workers later in the day as part of International Workers’ Day observances.

Supervisor Scott Wiener, the measure’s floor sponsor, said the resolution does not issue bonds now but signals the city’s future support if cost or schedule contingencies make assurance funds necessary. Wiener described the Central Subway as a key project to improve rapid transit service in the dense northeast sector of the city, including Chinatown and Union Square, and said the SFMTA would use existing revenue-bonding capacity — not create new bonding authority.

The board also held a committee-of-the-whole hearing on resolutions of necessity to acquire four temporary construction licenses by eminent domain for headwall work associated with the Union Square/Market Street station and other Central Subway station construction. The SFMTA said the construction method requires inclined pile walls whose tips will extend roughly 150 feet below street level and encroach about 3 to 4 feet onto adjacent private property, creating the need for temporary licenses.

After public testimony from business and neighborhood groups, labor unions and members of the project's community advisory group — including Chinatown TRIP, the Union Square Business Improvement District, the Operating Engineers, pile drivers and other construction unions — the board adopted the resolutions of necessity. The SFMTA said it has offered compensation to property owners, engaged in negotiations and has had appraisals reviewed consistent with Federal Transit Administration regulations; the agency said it would pursue condemnation only to keep the program schedule on track if negotiations did not conclude.

One property owner’s representative told the board the owner had received a $13,500 offer for a license but provided the city an independent appraisal that valued the license at $37,000; the owner said it had already spent about $2 million relocating a transformer because of Central Subway construction and asked for fair compensation. The board’s action adopted the resolutions of necessity required under state eminent-domain law and included CEQA and general-plan findings; state law requires a two-thirds vote of the board for resolutions of necessity, and the board recorded a final roll call in which the measures passed.

Supervisor Wiener and several public speakers stressed that federal New Starts funds are not fungible: if the city failed to secure the funding now, the award could be redirected to other projects around the nation.

Ending: The resolution endorsing assurance funding and the resolutions of necessity were adopted at the meeting. SFMTA and city staff will continue property negotiations and, if necessary, proceed with condemnation to maintain the project schedule while also addressing construction impacts on nearby businesses and community concerns.

","The Board backed a resolution supporting the SFMTA’s commitment to issue revenue bonds as assurance funding for the Central Subway project and adopted multiple resolutions of necessity to acquire temporary construction licenses needed for station construction after a committee hearing and public testimony.","actionData","errors"]
