Board approves multiple consent ordinances and resolutions, continues several hearings; votes at a glance

At its Oct. 1 meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a large number of consent calendar items and several resolutions on first reading, mostly by unanimous votes. The board also rescinded and retook votes on two items and continued multiple hearings to Nov. 12.

Items adopted on consent or by unanimous voice vote included routine and substantive administrative items: minutes approval, ordinances modifying planning, public‑works and administrative codes, resolutions to sell certain city real property, authorization of CleanPowerSF purchases from Pacific Gas and Electric, and a multi‑department technology procurement contract for Cisco products through ConvergeOne, among others. Items 18–22 enacted 2019 updates to the City’s building, existing building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing codes on first reading.

Procedural notes from the meeting: - Items 1–8 were approved on consent. - Items 9 and 10 (an ordinance amending the health code to require a city‑operated 41‑bed adult residential facility and a planning‑code amendment to modify the jobs‑housing linkage fee and inclusionary housing) were initially passed, then a motion to rescind the votes was made and seconded; the votes were then retaken and the items passed unanimously in the session’s roll call. - Item 14 (sale of city property located on West Lucille Avenue in Fresno County) was adopted by resolution. - Item 15 authorized CleanPowerSF to purchase electricity‑related products from PG&E (contract amount cited in the agenda as $11,000,000 for Jan 1, 2020–12/31/2022); the board adopted the resolution unanimously. - Item 16 authorized the Department of Technology to contract with ConvergeOne Inc. to purchase Cisco products and services for $65,000,000 (term ending 11/01/2022, with two 2‑year extension options); the resolution was adopted unanimously. - Items 18–22 updated the city building, existing building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing codes to adopt the 2019 California codes as amended locally; these ordinances passed first reading unanimously. - Items 29 and 30 (nominations to the Treasury Oversight Committee) were approved unanimously.

Several items were continued to Nov. 12, including the multi‑part 3333 California Street hearings (items 31–42) to allow further public comment and to preserve the tentative‑map appeal as open. Item 26 (a first‑draft charter amendment regarding retiree healthcare for certain Housing Authority employees) was continued to Nov. 12 at the sponsor’s request. The board also took up introductions of new business and several commendations during the meeting.

Most consent items were reported as adopted or passed on first reading without recorded dissent; where the transcript records rescind/resend actions (items 9 and 10), the board re‑voted and the items ultimately passed.
