Board adopts multiple funding, bond and administrative measures; continues Muni property acquisition to Sept. 11
Summary
The Board of Supervisors adopted a slate of bond, property and administrative measures, amended committee rules and continued a Muni property-acquisition hearing to Sept. 11, 2007.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Feb. 6 adopted a batch of routine resolutions and ordinances and advanced several committee and administrative changes. Many items were considered under the board's "same house, same call" procedure and passed without extended floor debate.
Major items adopted or advanced on the consent and adoption-calendar included:
- An ordinance designating a sole-source design engineer for the Opera House chiller replacement project (item 6). The ordinance was finally passed.
- An ordinance amending Administrative Code section 10.155 to reduce the Public Library cash revolving fund from $5,000 to $3,500 (item 8); passed on first reading.
- A resolution approving a real property exchange agreement between the city and the Petrocicci Family Trust pertaining to property on Chestnut Avenue near El Camino Real in South San Francisco, with environmental and General Plan consistency findings (item 9); adopted.
- A resolution authorizing the sale of up to $35,000,000 in general-obligation bonds for a seismic safety loan program (item 10); adopted.
- A resolution authorizing the issuance of up to $13,000,000 in multifamily housing revenue bonds for a rental housing project (item 11); adopted.
- Resolutions authorizing amendments to subleases with the John Stewart Company related to Treasure Island operations (items 12 and 13); adopted.
- Committee rule changes: the board amended Rule 5.8 to rename the Select Committee on Ending Gun and Gang Violence as the Public Safety Committee and establish it as a standing committee (item 20), and extended the Joint City and School District Select Committee for one year (item 21); motions approved.
- Adoption-calendar resolutions including support for the Valencia Street improvement project, authorization to use the city seal for a music event, recognition of West Portal Branch Library reopening, commendations for Gateway High School, a resolution condemning the DEA hearing on medical cannabis access, and acceptance of a grant for the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice (items 24' 30); all adopted with routine votes. Item 30 (scheduling of a special City and School District meeting) was amended and approved as amended.
Separately, the board continued a scheduled special-order hearing on acquisition of property adjacent to city land for a Muni Eyles Creek motor coach operations and maintenance facility (items 18 and 19). The Municipal Transportation Agency requested the items be continued to Sept. 11, 2007; the board granted the continuance.
Votes and formal outcomes were recorded in the meeting minutes using the board's usual roll-call practice for consent and adoption calendars; multiple items were recorded as passing with 11 ayes on the day's roll calls.
The board also adopted in memoriam resolutions for former Lieutenant Governor Leo T. McCarthy and columnist Molly Ivins.
