On July 7 the Board of Supervisors approved multiple COVID-related emergency measures and resolutions, including rent protections, public-health leave reenactment, a nonprofit recognition resolution, and others; all items on the consent or adoption calendars passed unanimously.
At the July 7 regular meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a set of routine and emergency items by unanimous votes. The board took up several measures on first reading and final passage; the roll calls recorded 11 affirmative votes for each item noted below.
Key approvals
- Rent increase prohibition (item 5): The board reenacted an emergency ordinance temporarily prohibiting rent increases otherwise allowed under the administrative code because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The clerk stated the item was forwarded from the Land Use and Transportation Committee and the item passed unanimously (11-0).
- Public health emergency leave reenactment (item introduced by Supervisor Mar): A second reenactment of emergency paid public-health leave was introduced and the board indicated it would keep the benefit in place for the city's workforce and affected employees for an additional 60 days; the ordinance was placed for final action and recorded as adopted unanimously.
- Multiplying Good recognition resolution (item 11): The board adopted a resolution urging the city to participate in nominating and promoting Multiplying Good's "1 in a Million" awards to recognize local community leaders during the pandemic. The resolution included amendments directing an equity lens for nominations and was adopted unanimously.
- Other consent/adoption items (items 9, 12, 13): These routine matters were called and adopted without objection by unanimous roll call; details in the meeting packet were not specified on the floor during the hearing.
