Votes at a glance: Board adopts multiple resolutions, ordinances and administrative actions March 22
Summary
At its March 22 meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a range of ordinances, resolutions, grants and appointments by unanimous vote or on first reading; items addressed funding, appointments, contracts, and administrative code changes.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on March 22 considered and in most cases adopted or advanced numerous items covering appropriations, grants, contracts, appointments and code amendments. Because most actions were routine or taken without extended debate, the board handled several matters on a same-house, same-call basis. Key outcomes and vote results recorded in the meeting transcript follow.

Where recusal occurred, roll-call entries show the recused member excused from vote (item 11 Peskin; item 32 Peskin). Several items were taken “same house, same call” and passed without extended debate.
Ending: The clerk’s roll calls recorded unanimous approvals for most items listed above or first-reading passage where noted. For full ordinance text, resolution numbers, and complete vote tallies, consult the city clerk and posted official minutes.
