Board approves consent calendar, moves to closed session; details of votes and items
Summary
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency board approved a multi-item consent calendar that included permit and contracting actions, then voted to go into closed session and later voted not to disclose the closed-session discussion.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors voted July 11 to approve the consent calendar and then to convene a closed session under administrative code provisions. By roll call, the board approved the consent calendar items and later voted to go into closed session and subsequently voted not to disclose the closed-session information.
What passed on the consent calendar: the board approved a package of routine and administrative items (item 10 on the agenda). The package included: - 10.1: Controller allotment and warrants for listed claims against the SFMTA (details: not specified in transcript). - 10.2: Routine parking and traffic modifications (agenda-listed locations). - 10.3: Parking regulation changes and an amendment to Transportation Code Division 2 to establish permit and loading rules on specified streets (Grove Street, Venice Avenue, Doctor Carlton B. Goodlett Place). - 10.4: Amend Transportation Code Division 2 to designate full-time and part-time Muni vehicle parking on Lennox Way and approve associated changes. - 10.5: Authorize Director of Transportation to execute a First Amendment to the lease agreement with the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) for continued Muni operations at the Salesforce Transit Center and to exercise up to two 10-year extension options if mutually approved. - 10.6: Adopted the proposed federal fiscal years 2026'028 overall goal of 14% for participation by disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE) in federally assisted contracts and authorized the director to transmit the goal to the Federal Transit Administration. - 10.7: Authorized the Director of Transportation to execute SFMTA contract CS-0189 for contract management and project control services for the Potrero Yard Modernization Project with ARUP in an amount not to exceed $6,000,000 for 4 years and 6 months.
After public comment on select consent items, a board member moved and another seconded the motion to approve the entire consent calendar. The Secretary then called the roll and the motion passed. The board did not lift any consent item for separate discussion at this meeting.
Closed session and disclosure vote: The board subsequently voted to go into closed session under Admin Code section 67.10(d) to consult with legal counsel. The motion to go into closed session passed on a roll-call vote. After the closed session, the board considered and passed a motion not to disclose the closed-session information; the motion to withhold disclosure passed on a roll-call vote.
Why it matters: The consent calendar bundles routine approvals that keep the agency's operations and capital work moving. Of particular note to contractors and DBE firms is the agency's formal adoption of a 14% DBE overall goal for FY 2026'028 and the authorization for the ARUP contract worth up to $6 million.
Votes and formal actions are recorded below with the vote tallies called by the secretary.
