Supervisors renew and expand Yerba Buena Community Benefit District; ballot returns show strong support
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved a 15-year renewal and expansion of the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District after Department of Elections returns showed 84.4% support and 15.6% opposition.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to renew and expand the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District and to levy assessments on properties in the district for a 15-year term beginning in fiscal year 2015–16.
The clerk reported returned weighted ballots with 84.4% voting for the renewal and expansion and 15.6% against, meaning no majority protest existed and the board could proceed with formation. The clerk then called the roll; the item passed on a vote of eight ayes. No amendments or substantive debate were recorded in the transcript for this item.
The renewal and expansion extends the district’s assessment authority for 15 years and enlarges the geographic scope as proposed in the underlying resolution read into the record. The action was based on the Department of Elections’ ballot tabulation presented to the board at this session. The roll-call votes were: Supervisor Campos, aye; Supervisor Christensen, aye; Supervisor Cohen, aye; Supervisor Kim, aye; Supervisor Marr, aye; Supervisor Weiner, aye; Supervisor Avalos, aye; Supervisor Breed, aye.
The board moved next to a separate Green Benefit District item for the Dogpatch and Northwest Potrero Hill area.
