Board approves multiple ordinances and resolutions unanimously; rent increases, leases and contracts among items passed
Summary
At the start of the meeting the Board took a series of unanimous votes to pass consent and regular‑agenda items including planning and leasing actions, a sheriff contract amendment, Black & Veatch amendment for the Calaveras Dam project, and several resolutions and ordinances across city departments.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a set of consent and regular‑agenda items by unanimous vote. Several items were taken as "same house, same call" (no member severed) and passed without separate debate; other items were discussed and approved with accompanying remarks.
Key items approved on consent or by unanimous roll call included:
- Planning code amendment requiring projects using the State density bonus law to pay inclusionary fees on additional units (Item 10). Supervisor Peskin distributed supplemental findings and moved to add them; the ordinance passed first reading as amended.
- Ordinance to amend the business and tax regulations code to add provisions to administer the homelessness gross receipts tax (Item 11) — passed on first reading unanimously.
- Resolutions approving 66‑year lease agreements for Treasure Island Marina and Treasure Island Sailing Center (Items 12–13) — adopted unanimously.
- Sheriff’s contract amendment: a third amendment to the contract with Leaders in Community Alternatives, Inc. (LCA) to administer home detention and electronic monitoring, adding a three‑month extension through 07/31/2019 and an increase of $466,000 for a new total of $2,400,000 (Item 14) — adopted unanimously.
- Public Utilities Commission contract amendment No. 4 with Black & Veatch Corp. for construction management services on the Calaveras Dam replacement project, extending the agreement by 10 months to a total of 9 years, 8 months, through 03/29/2020, and increasing the cap to $72,800,000 (Item 15) — adopted unanimously.
- Recreation & Park Department acceptance of a Trust for Public Land grant of $521,000 for Eugene L. Friend Recreation Center feasibility and concept design (Item 16) — adopted unanimously; staff explained the retroactive award process.
- Other measures included a $150,000 grant from the Workers’ Lab to the Treasurer & Tax Collector to design a workers’ fund at SFO (Item 17); Union Square Park fee adjustment from $4 to $6 (Item 18); a city resolution declaring a climate emergency (Item 19); and miscellaneous appointments and rules adjustments (items 20–26). Many of these passed with unanimous recorded votes.
Several of the approved items change contract lengths, increase expenditure caps, or authorize acceptance of grants; the board’s unanimous votes indicate broad support across supervisors for these routine and department‑sponsored measures.
