Votes at a glance: July 17 Board meeting — budget continuances, rezoning continuance, Embarcadero bond question advances
Summary
Key procedural and final votes: several budget items continued to July 24; a rezoning and street‑vacation pair (items 2 and 3) were continued to July 31; participatory budgeting appropriation (item 7) passed unanimously; Embarcadero Seawall bond question (item 27) passed first reading; health and golf‑fee amendments passed first reading.
The Board of Supervisors took multiple procedural and final votes at its July 17 meeting. Below are the principal outcomes recorded in the meeting minutes.
- Items 1–3 (consent) and related: The board initially approved the consent items by roll call; Supervisors Mandelmann severed items 2 and 3 so they could be continued with a related settlement. Mandelmann moved and the board continued items 2 and 3 (rezoning and summary street vacation for a portion of Burnett Avenue North) to the July 31 meeting so they could be heard with the implementing settlement. The motion to continue items 2 and 3 passed unanimously by same‑call.
- Budget items: Items forming the city's budget package (items 5–20) were called together. Supervisor Monica Stefani (identified in the record as "Supervisor Stephanie") moved to continue items 5 and 6 and 8–20 to July 24 to match the published budget calendar. That continuance was taken without objection. Supervisor Norman Yee successfully severed item 7 (an $800,000 re‑appropriation for participatory budgeting projects in Districts 7, 8 and 10), and item 7 was then adopted unanimously by roll call vote (11 ayes).
- Participatory budgeting (item 7): Adopted by roll call: 11 ayes, item moves forward.
- Items 27–29 (bond question and administrative measures): Item 27 (ordinance to place a $425 million Embarcadero Seawall bond question on the November 6 ballot) requires an eight‑vote threshold; the ordinance passed on first reading by same‑house call. Item 28 (park code: allow Recreation & Park general manager to set golf fees) and Item 29 (health service system plans and contribution rates for 2019) also passed on first reading.
- Item 35 (final map 80615, Bush Street condominium project): Continued one week to July 24 at the request of the Department of Public Works.
Other notable procedural outcomes: several items were duplicated, severed, or sent back to committee for additional review (for example, the ADU street‑tree piece was severed and returned to Land Use Committee). The Board also continued the Central SoMa EIR appeals (items 23–26) to September 4 to allow further Planning Commission review and technical work.
