Highlights included approval on first reading of an ordinance to appropriate funds for tenant improvements tied to the city's new lease at 1455 Market Street and a companion resolution authorizing the lease amendment; a retroactive lease for non‑congregate shelter at the Adonte Hotel (610 Geary Street); acceptance of multiple federal housing grants; large contract authorizations for insurance brokerage services; and a Federal Aviation Administration grant acceptance for airport gate improvements.

The board took most votes under “same house, same call,” moving numerous items on unanimous voice or roll call votes. Several items that were recorded included: an ordinance to appropriate $8.5 million from projected revenue surplus, de‑appropriate roughly $3.3 million from other capital projects and appropriate $11.8 million to interdepartmental rent and tenant improvement costs related to the Human Services Agency’s new space at 1455 Market Street (item 8; passed on first reading); a resolution authorizing a first amendment to the lease at 1455 Market Street that would add approximately 226,000 rentable square feet of office space and about 6,000 rentable square feet of basement storage for a 21‑year balance of term and to authorize tenant improvement and technology expenditures up to $15,500,000 (item 9; adopted); and a resolution to retroactively authorize a lease with Roshan Investments, LLC for the Adonte Hotel at 610 Geary Street for a 93‑unit non‑congregate temporary shelter, initial term 1 year commencing April 1, 2025, with base rent of $1,500,000 (item 10; adopted).

The board also adopted on the consent calendar acceptance and expenditure of multiple U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants (items 21–24), and accepted a separate $7,000,000 HUD Pathways grant for planning (item 12). The board approved contract amendments for insurance brokerage services (items 16 and 17), a Calpine contract for community choice aggregation services with a $17,000,000 value (item 20), and accepted an FAA grant offer for the Boarding Area G gates enhancement project at San Francisco International Airport (item 18).

Two ordinances were passed on first reading relating to nightlife and building safety: elimination of a 200‑foot buffer for nighttime entertainment in the Western SOMA Special Use District (item 25) and amendments to the building code to assess the city’s inventory of seismically vulnerable rigid‑wall flexible‑diaphragm and concrete buildings and to adopt voluntary retrofit standards (item 26). The board also passed a pair of entertainment‑zone ordinances (item 29) on first reading and adopted a report and strategy related to the Sunset Chinese Cultural District (item 27).

Other routine actions included designation of official outreach newspapers (items 13–14), authorization for sale of city scrap metal (item 15), acceptance of an in‑kind gift of a zero‑emission vehicle for official use (a Rivian R1S retrofitted with security upgrades; item 19), adoption of the city’s five‑year information and community technology plan (item 11), and approvals of various appointments and reappointments to city commissions (items 31–33).

The board also adopted a committee report recommending an amendment to the Mission Rock housing plan to reduce the minimum percentage of inclusionary affordable housing units per phase for the Mission Rock project (item 42). That measure was recommended by the Land Use and Transportation Committee and later adopted by the full board.

Several items were continued or set for further hearing: a multi‑item CEQA and conditional use appeal for a project at 1310 Junipero Serra Boulevard (items 34–41) was continued to the May 13, 2025 meeting to allow additional negotiations among parties; and the board convened a closed session on existing litigation matters (item 45).

Votes at a glance (selected items):
- Item 7 (Planning Code amend. — rezoning notice/housing element compliance): final passage, 8 ayes, 3 no (Dorsey, Mahmood, Melgar).
- Item 8 (appropriation for 1455 Market tenant improvements): passed on first reading, roll call unanimous where recorded.
- Item 9 (1455 Market lease amendment): adopted (same house, same call).
- Item 10 (Adonte Hotel lease for non‑congregate shelter): adopted (same house, same call).
- Items 12, 21–24 (HUD grants including Pathways, ESG, CDBG, HOPWA, HOME): adopted (same house, same call).
- Items 16–17 (insurance brokerage contract authorizations): adopted.
- Item 18 (FAA grant for boarding area G gates): adopted.
- Item 19 (in‑kind vehicle gift — Rivian R1S): adopted.
- Item 25 (Western SOMA buffer removal for nighttime entertainment): passed on first reading.
- Item 26 (seismic building code update): passed on first reading.
- Item 29 (Valencia Street/Ellis St. entertainment zones and downtown activation): passed on first reading.
- Item 42 (Mission Rock housing plan amendment): adopted on recommendation of Land Use & Transportation Committee (vote recorded in committee; full board adopted without objection).
- Item 47 (declaring April 2025 American Muslim Appreciation & Awareness Month): adopted (same house, same call).
- Item 50 (Parkinson’s Awareness Month): adopted (amendment made to clarify language).

What the votes mean: Most items were procedural or administrative authorizations — appropriations, lease approvals, grant acceptances, and contract authorizations — enabling city departments to proceed with leases, capital work, grant‑funded programs and vendor contracting. Several ordinance changes moved forward on first reading and will return for final passage at a later meeting, per standard procedure.

The board’s routine handling of many items by consolidated votes kept the agenda moving; several items of public interest — including the Junipero Serra CEQA appeal and Mission Rock inclusionary housing amendment — will require further hearings or implementation steps.

Ending note: The board adjourned after a closed session; no reportable action emerged publicly from the closed session. The board’s next scheduled meeting will take up continued hearings and the items returned for final reading as required by ordinance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Francisco County - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Apr 29, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on April 29 adopted a broad slate of lease, grant, contracting and code measures — advancing tenant improvements and a long‑term lease at 1455 Market Street, retroactively approving a shelter hotel lease, accepting multiple HUD grants and authorizing FAA airport funding — while moving several ordinances on to subsequent final readings.","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},6583351,"Board continues CEQA and conditional‑use appeal for 1310 Junipero Serra Boulevard to May 13",409,4140000,4549000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3157457-c364a6c5d11c60bbefb819e762675b30&start=4140&end=4549","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3157457-c364a6c5d11c60bbefb819e762675b30/thumbnail_4140000.jpg","/articles/6583351/San-Francisco-County/California/Board-continues-CEQA-and-conditionaluse-appeal-for-1310-Junipero-Serra-Boulevard-to-May-13","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6583351-181db661361112d50084d2fdeffbe952/orig.mp4?Expires=1776652536&Signature=aSGouTmOPzrxFJtZdH5uUl8W0074QdQ57dU97DSmWsMqf6OirrYIFpGA-R~IEvgG6tkaGwOtJOEdrK9tSgcFpM2zu7LhQECTx8tsingJ7~Py89yT4JxLg7dJ7yyKM1~KszfNg2C1tdXv2eBrEE7fFACIkPmgxmb5QsWs-~8dyXRORJyr4I5r~raSM6a-g0fEfUoJb5QRIus24eQfbpHWWpWCPbWi3UfYg1LdsPeWfvlUqMOEtV5ZG0zBxqPta1FWfXJTEBMOQznUMFLGIvZExBErk9S~7VVhlIshiqUENt4PRQqXRKMaX8m2xp2MKEYV0YcdyaPTyFN2KZIFDNWzSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Supervisors on April 29 opened hearings on items 34 through 41 — a CEQA categorical exemption and related conditional use authorization for a proposed maintenance and facility building at 1310 Junipero Serra Boulevard — and continued the matters to the May 13, 2025 meeting to allow additional negotiations between the parties.

The proposal would demolish nine maintenance structures and construct a single‑story, approximately 20,000 gross square‑foot maintenance building (hearing description). The board opened the record and permitted public comment specific to the request for continuance before acting.

Speakers who addressed the continuance included counsel recently retained by Saint Thomas More (the appellant) who asked for more time to negotiate with the San Francisco Golf Club, explaining that their prior counsel became unavailable and new counsel (Patterson O’Neil) had been retained; and David Greenbaum, principal of Saint Thomas More School, who said the proposed building would sit approximately 20 feet from the school’s preschool and asked for additional time to negotiate given the proximity to children. Other public commenters spoke at length on environmental and jurisdictional topics; the chair paused some speakers to keep comments relevant to the continuance request.

Motion and outcome: Supervisor Melgar moved to continue items 34–41 to the May 13, 2025 Board meeting; Supervisor Walton seconded. The board took the continuation motion without objection and scheduled the appeal hearings to remain open until that date.

Why this matters: The project site is adjacent to a school and recreational uses; the appeal raises CEQA and conditional‑use concerns about siting, safety and proximity to sensitive uses (preschool). Continuing the hearings gives the parties an opportunity to negotiate potential mitigation or design changes before the board rules on the exemption and conditional use authorization.

Next steps: Continuation to May 13; parties were asked to pursue negotiations and report back. The board will receive any additional submissions and will reopen the hearings on the scheduled date.","An appeal of the Planning Department’s categorical exemption and a conditional use authorization for a proposed 19,100‑square‑foot maintenance building at 1310 Junipero Serra Boulevard was continued to May 13 after parties asked for additional time to negotiate; Saint Thomas More School and local residents spoke in support of the continuance.",{"_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},6583356,"Supervisor Dorsey proposes changes to Homicide Reward Fund to pay for information that leads to charges, accept anonymous tips",1354,4556000,5910000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3157457-c364a6c5d11c60bbefb819e762675b30&start=4556&end=5910","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3157457-c364a6c5d11c60bbefb819e762675b30/thumbnail_4556000.jpg","/articles/6583356/San-Francisco-County/California/Supervisor-Dorsey-proposes-changes-to-Homicide-Reward-Fund-to-pay-for-information-that-leads-to-charges-accept-anonymous-tips","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6583356-ed81ea8c7e78f33636296af74d1bf44b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776652536&Signature=k2JqeLSxjcDi7WvNxr0amR0KLg0QNsWJttQeKnPMjxgekHJlohsmyzrNWbq7GE7ItOjYOeK7DDJZja818enZyG0ix1oIDuf4Dr7HpljRIvqUWmXNTD8aGUNZpWVCZlNuN4WSh1nju4g-QpJ3Eb6~p089m94YmXU4JxCVpdl6F1kxvXVhF82d0slRMrvG0w04OYaBWeQu9EsJK2yihtEW1Kvjb~1vq2rJzpUNSo54mfWkNeoHt8g1Cr5DI6-7Xgkt76fdg78Qtbp42krdFElIJzvVvFzjU38zVLRq8Et4gb1VAKm~a7zJmqh1-CPMvQCsKxLk-btM4NC87CaxPl0rYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisor Matt Dorsey introduced an ordinance at the April 29 Board of Supervisors meeting seeking to modernize San Francisco’s Homicide Reward Fund.

Dorsey said the fund, established in 2016 to incentivize information that helps solve homicides, has not paid a reward in more than a decade and that eligibility restrictions are discouraging potential informants. The ordinance would: permit reward payments when information leads to the filing of criminal charges (instead of requiring a conviction), allow anonymous tipsters to receive rewards while protecting their confidentiality, and remove automatic disqualification based solely on a prior criminal record. The measure would also retain a prohibition on payments for knowingly false information.

Dorsey said the proposed changes were prompted in part by advocacy from victims’ families, naming Paulette Brown, whose son was murdered in February 2006, as a persistent advocate for reform. Dorsey said he was also acting following a resolution from the San Francisco Police Commission urging the board to update the fund’s policy.

The ordinance was formally introduced for consideration and will be scheduled for committee hearings and a subsequent board vote per the typical ordinance process.

Speakers and advocacy: During public comment Paulette Brown attended the meeting and her presence was noted by the board. Brown has been a frequent presence at police commission hearings pressing for changes to the reward policy. Dorsey credited her work in explaining the need to modernize the program.

Next steps: The ordinance was submitted for consideration; committee referral and hearing dates will be set under the board’s regular legislative process.","Supervisor Matt Dorsey introduced legislation to change San Francisco’s Homicide Reward Fund so rewards may be paid when information leads to filing of criminal charges (not solely on conviction), allow anonymous tipsters to receive rewards while preserving confidentiality, and remove automatic disqualification based on prior criminal history.",{"_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},6583361,"Board approves Planning Code change to require notice for rezoning to comply with housing element law",60,333000,393000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3157457-c364a6c5d11c60bbefb819e762675b30&start=333&end=393","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3157457-c364a6c5d11c60bbefb819e762675b30/thumbnail_333000.jpg","/articles/6583361/San-Francisco-County/California/Board-approves-Planning-Code-change-to-require-notice-for-rezoning-to-comply-with-housing-element-law","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6583361-bc9f84bdbc8bdfc9483262aa8148ed2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776652536&Signature=fJtG-9pvpcYvvDdFG74gJs-c4jf4ufjDgDtNod8COIs7G41aIaGOqO6hqGOVKPGmaMe~~PyfSTzL~qUwhPAAoRqO3s5hcZXPZdKs9VtdN0B8wfL9Bls4SMGKbxjM0UNcEbWkjSdb7OBP8cNjfa-9jUFtUj0gkJV9su-OxfszgNJMmAcxG1qHRbb~shKdnGHmUSaqLsNuX2HF3oyA-PMGiH9CRuzVxLIW~PX~Dhcb3KxckqUubgB5KGCTsv~-UoIPHNjReF2L~z6p0JgFuw04M0EvRdZzRu-e5xu2woz4sOX-inzPAHyNNVmWj0FLd9WT0wY1EtBUSM9wOCzyBnFNvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On April 29 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 8–3 to give final passage to an ordinance amending the city’s Planning Code to require notice of rezoning actions taken to comply with the housing element, and to affirm the environmental (CEQA) determination associated with the measure.

The roll‑call vote recorded Supervisors Engardio, Fielder, Mandelmann, Sauter, Cheryl, Walton, Chan and Chen as voting yes. Supervisors Dorsey, Mahmood and Melgar voted no. The ordinance was announced as finally passed by the clerk at the meeting.

The measure updates notice requirements tied to rezoning steps taken in the course of implementing the city’s housing element. At the meeting the item was taken as a regular agenda matter and recorded on the board’s official vote list; the clerk also noted the CEQA determination that accompanies the Planning Code change.

Why it matters: zoning and rezoning notice rules affect how property owners and residents learn about proposed changes to permitted uses and densities. The board’s action puts the notice requirement on the record in the Planning Code for rezoning actions that are part of housing element compliance, and affirms the environmental finding for this ordinance.

What’s next: The ordinance was recorded as finally passed at the April 29 meeting and will be implemented by the Planning Department according to the code amendments adopted.","The Board of Supervisors gave final passage April 29 to an ordinance amending the Planning Code to require notice of rezoning intended to comply with the city’s housing element, affirming the CEQA determination; recorded vote: 8 ayes, 3 nos.","actionData","errors"]
