Board calls housing, homeless items from committee and schedules special hearings; removes public advocate charter amendment from call
Summary
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on July 15 approved, as amended, a motion to call several committee items — including a housing charter amendment and a resolution on homelessness — and to schedule public hearings on July 19 and July 29, 2016.
At a July 15, 2016 special meeting, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to call several items from committee and to schedule special meetings and hearings, approving the motion as amended.
The clerk introduced a motion to call two proposed charter amendments and a resolution from committee files and to schedule public hearings. The files named on the record included charter amendment file number 160583 (Creating the Office of Public Advocate), charter amendment file number 160588 (Creating the Housing and Community Development Commission), and resolution file number 160758 (affirming support for the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing). The motion also proposed scheduling special meetings of the Board of Supervisors on July 19, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. and July 29, 2016 at 10:00 a.m., and to convene the Board as a Committee of the Whole on July 19.
Supervisor David Campos moved to amend the motion by striking references to the proposed public advocate charter amendment (file 160583) from the call and by reducing the number of Committee of the Whole hearings to two; he said the public advocate charter measures were already scheduled before the full board in separate versions. The amendment removed references to file number 160583 and related language. The motion as amended called resolution 160758 from the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee and called the charter amendment file 160588 (housing and community development) from committee for consideration.
The board approved the motion as amended on a roll-call vote of six in favor, none opposed. The clerk announced that the approval called resolution 160758 from committee, called the housing charter amendment file 160588, and scheduled the Committee of the Whole sitting on July 19 and the special meeting on July 29. The clerk also noted that the motion modified the time between first appearance and order submitted for the charter items per board rules. No further amendments or policy approvals were recorded at the July 15 meeting; the items were returned to the board for public hearings on the scheduled dates.
