Summary
The Board of Supervisors recorded several roll‑call outcomes on May 13, including passage of an ordinance reallocating funds to police and sheriff overtime, adoption of a transportation grant resolution, acceptance of an amended blight‑abatement assessment report, and continuation of a major CEQA/CUA item to May 20.
This summary lists the formal roll‑call outcomes recorded at the May 13, 2025 San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting. It is a concise reference to what the board approved or continued on the record.
Item 6 — Ordinance (Appropriation/de‑appropriation for police and sheriff overtime): Passed, 8–2. The ordinance appropriated approximately $61,000,000 to police overtime and $30,000,000 to sheriff overtime by shifting funds (de‑appropriating roughly $86,300,000 from several salary and capital lines) and drew $5,400,000 from the general reserve and $311,000 from boarding of prisoners revenue. Supervisors Fielder and Walton voted no; eight colleagues voted aye.
Item 7 — Resolution (Retroactive acceptance of State Transportation Development Act Article 3 funding for pedestrian/bicycle projects): Adopted, 10–0. The resolution authorized acceptance and expenditure of approximately $1,360,000 for SF Public Works for fiscal years 2021–2024, term 07/01/2024–06/30/2027.
Item 19 — Resolution (Accept amended report of assessment costs for blight abatement): Adopted, 10–0 as amended on the floor. Department of Public Works reported it had waived assessments for 33 properties after hearing owners in the hallway; the board accepted the amended list and directed remaining assessments to the property tax roll.
Items 20–27 — CEQA and conditional‑use authorization items (1310 Junipero Serra Boulevard): Continued to May 20, 2025 by unanimous motion (10–0). Supervisor Melgar made the motion to continue the CEQA and conditional use items; the board granted a one‑week continuance to allow further negotiations with parties.
Items 30–33, 35–37 — Resolutions presented for adoption without committee reference: Adopted unanimously (10–0) as called; items included proclamations and routine authorizations (the clerk read and the board approved these items en bloc after severing item 34 for separate consideration).
Item 34 — Resolution supporting student journalism and upholding free‑press protections: Adopted (same‑house, same call). The board debated and then passed the resolution to affirm support for student journalism and to request SFUSD policies that respect student First Amendment rights. The clerk recorded adoption following debate and member statements in support.
Why this matters: The item 6 ordinance makes large intra‑budget reallocations to support police and sheriff overtime in the current fiscal year. The DPW blight items and the CEQA/CUA continuance both illustrate ongoing, operational issues the board is managing: property assessments and neighborhood concerns about a proposed maintenance facility adjacent to a school.
