Board approves dozens of consent items, grant awards and labor agreements; police wage amendments pass 10-1

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 7 approved a broad consent calendar of grants, contract amendments and appropriations and adopted multiple labor memoranda of understanding. Many items were taken "same house, same call" and passed on unanimous votes or by recorded roll call as listed below.

Key actions (high-level) - Dozens of grant and contract amendments: The board adopted routine and pandemic-related actions, including amendments to homelessness programs, public-works grants, public health awards and port and airport agreements. Examples include the city's Home-ARP application (approximately $18.7 million), Public Utilities Commission acceptance of ARPA funds for customer arrears relief, and multiple HSH grant amendments on homelessness programs. - Clean Power SF and SFPUC financing items: The board approved appropriation and bond authorization items for SFPUC capital programs and Clean Power SF capital improvements (first reading unanimous). - Labor agreements: The board approved a long series of collective bargaining agreements (items 52 83) covering building inspectors, police and fire-related bargaining units, municipal executive units, and dozens of public-sector bargaining units as listed in the agenda. Most MOUs were approved on first reading. - Police pay amendments and MOUs (items 80 and 81): The board adopted two amendments that restore deferred base-wage increases for police bargaining units. The votes on the police-related amendments passed 10-1; Supervisor Preston recorded the lone no vote after an extended floor debate about using MOU negotiations to secure operational reforms.

Most passed on first reading by unanimous votes when called as one block; individual roll calls available in the clerk's record. - Items 80 & 81: Second amendments to 2018-2023 MOUs for San Francisco Police Officers Association and Municipal Executives Association (police) to restore deferred 1% base wage increases effective 06/30/2022. Both passed 10-1 on roll call (Supervisor Preston voted no).

What members said Supervisors and staff generally moved many items as consent for efficiency. Several supervisors used floor time to flag areas for further oversight: Supervisor Chan called for continued attention to long-term SFPUC rate impacts; Supervisor Preston requested follow-up documentation on several homelessness contracts earlier in the meeting. The police MOU items prompted the most extended debate on whether collective-bargaining negotiations should be used to secure police reform commitments; the amendments themselves were narrowly supported by a 10-1 vote.

Record and next steps The clerk's roll-call votes and committee reports are the official record of each item. Items passed on first reading will return for final passage as required by the city's legislative calendar. Labor MOU negotiations continue for upcoming contract cycles and the Board indicated those talks will be an area of budget-season attention.
