Summary
The board adopted a group of consent and adoption-without-committee items Sept. 10 covering budget reappropriations, an easement purchase, grant increases, a long-term lease for a disability cultural center, a large contract amendment, and a $5 million affordable-housing grant application.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a slate of ordinances and resolutions on Sept. 10 that the clerk called on consent or as items introduced for adoption without committee reference. Where the transcript provides a vote tally or mover/second, it is noted; otherwise items were adopted on the clerk’s "same house, same call" procedure.
Minutes and procedural votes A motion to approve the minutes (moved by Supervisor Stephanie and seconded by Supervisor Walton) was approved by roll call with 11 ayes.
Key adopted items (summary) - Ordinance (Item 3): De-appropriate approximately $400,000 from General City Responsibility and $150,000 from the Municipal Transportation Agency, and reappropriate funds across departments for FY 2024–2025. Reappropriations listed in the item included $50,000 to the Arts Commission for mural artwork in West Portal; $125,000 to Children, Youth and Their Families for playground and seating improvements at specified schools; approximately $162,000 to Public Works for maintenance and planting; $13,000 to the Public Library for digital literacy courses; $49,000 to Recreation and Parks for trail renovation; and $150,000 to MTA for traffic calming and a parklet on Slowhurst. The ordinance was passed on first reading on the clerk’s call.
- Resolution (Item 4): Authorize the general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to execute a purchase-and-sale agreement and easement deed with San Mateo County Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency District for acquisition of a "13 86 square foot" easement for an aerial water pipeline crossing and associated footings/ braces for $70,000 plus an administrative fee and up to $10,000 in closing costs (total not to exceed $83,000). The resolution was adopted on the clerk’s call.

The resolution was adopted on the clerk’s call.

- Ordinance (Item 9): Authorize settlement of litigation filed by David M. Schmidt against Build Group Inc., including cross-complaint against the city for $350,000, related to cost overruns and delay on Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Building 5 rehabilitation. Passed on first reading as a committee report item.
Adoption without committee reference (Items 13–17) Items 13–17 were introduced for adoption without committee reference and, with no member requesting committee referral, were adopted on a unanimous voice vote on first reading. The clerk’s calendar did not include further detail about the specific content of those items during the meeting; the transcript records the items as introduced and adopted without committee.
Formal vote records and notes - Where the transcript records roll-call votes (for example, minutes approval), the tally is noted (minutes: 11 ayes). Most consent and adoption-without-committee items were adopted via "same house, same call" and the transcript records adoption without a detailed roll-call tally in the public remarks.
Anyone seeking the full text, vote tallies, or formal mover/second for each item should consult the official minutes and ordinance/resolution files posted by the Clerk of the Board; this summary reflects the items as described in the meeting transcript and the clerk’s in-chamber calls.
