Board adopts wide-ranging consent calendar including homelessness grant increases, PUC bond authorizations and surveillance policy

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 4 adopted a large consent calendar that included grant increases for homelessness services, authorization for utility revenue bonds, multiple lease amendments, and approval of a surveillance-technology policy for the municipal transportation agency.

The board took the items "same house, same call" where recorded and adopted the resolutions and ordinances listed on the printed agenda without separate debate. Several items were described on the record by the clerk or staff before the roll calls were taken.

Key items adopted or moved forward on first reading included:

- Four homelessness-related grant amendments (items 13–16): extensions and increases to contracts managed by the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. The board approved a 12‑month extension and a $3,500,000 increase to Urban Alchemy's agreement for operations at 711 Post Street (new total $22,200,000); a nine‑month extension and an approximately $2,100,000 increase to Urban Alchemy for operations at 33 Gough (new total ~ $11,600,000); and two amendments with Episcopal Community Services to extend and expand funding for a flexible housing subsidy pool and housing navigation programs (increases of approximately $19,600,000 and $6,700,000, with new totals of roughly $29,500,000 and $16,700,000, respectively). The clerk read the items into the record before the board adopted them.

- Airport leases (items 17–18): the board adopted a seven‑year lease with two one‑year options for the Harvey Milk Terminal 1 museum store with a first‑year minimum annual guarantee of $205,000; and approved a third amendment to a Terminal 3 concession lease to remove a kitchen facility, provide a $280,000 reimbursement to the tenant, and reduce the minimum annual guarantee and square footage as described in the clerk's summary.

- San Francisco Mental Health Services Act three‑year plan (item 19): the board adopted the proposed program and expenditure plan for fiscal years 2023–2026.

- Real property and lease actions at 1145 Market Street (items 20–21): two lease approvals for the Trinity Center property, including a 15‑year lease amendment with a 15‑year option (approximate base rent cited in the clerk's summary: $600,000 annually with 3% annual increases and a partial market reset in year 11) and a separate 10‑year initial lease with a 15‑year extension option for a portion of the property (initial annual base rent ~ $589,000 with 3% increases).

- Small business grant payment support (item 22): a second amendment increasing SF New Deal's grant by $2,400,000 to manage the Small Business Grant Payment Support Program (new total ~ $11,000,000 through June 30, 2025).

- Language access amendment to the Administrative Code (item 23): the ordinance amending the language access rules passed first reading.

- Public Utilities Commission budget and bond authorizations (items 24–26): appropriations for PUC capital projects and authorizations to issue tax‑exempt or taxable wastewater and power revenue bonds; item 26 described an aggregate principal amount of approximately $293,000,000 for power revenue bonds in the clerk's summary.

- Building and planning fee adjustments, library and port grants, and administrative certifications (items 27–31): ordinances adjusting appeal and building inspection surcharges and fees passed first reading; the library was authorized to accept an approximately $1,000,000 gift/grant in kind; the Port was authorized to accept an approximately $118,000 federal port security grant; and the board concurred with the controller certification that specified services can be performed by private contractors at lower cost.

- Community Benefit District annual reports (items 32–33), landmark designation (item 34), curbside EV charging feasibility support (item 35), the 2024–25 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account project list (item 36), and approval of the SFMTA surveillance technology policy for automated speed enforcement (item 37) were all adopted as presented or passed on first reading per the clerk's summaries.

- Appointments and motions (items 38–39): the board approved the mayor’s nomination to reappoint Mark Dunlop to the Treasure Island Development Authority board (term to 02/26/2028) and approved a motion regarding a reappointment to the Reentry Council (item 39). The clerk recorded roll calls where appropriate; many items were adopted under the "same house" call and recorded as adopted.

Clerk and roll call: multiple items were adopted after the clerk read summaries; where the clerk recorded roll calls the board recorded unanimous or near‑unanimous ayes as noted on the record (for example, minutes were approved 11 ayes; other items were taken "same house, same call").

Why this matters: the consent calendar contained high‑dollar grant increases for homelessness services, long‑term property leases, and multiyear bond authorizations for the city's utility enterprises — all actions that shape near‑term budgets and program continuity across housing, transportation and utilities.

Minor details and financial amounts were presented in the clerk's item summaries on the record; the board's action as stated on the record was adoption or passage on first reading as noted above.
