The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on July 10, 2018, enacted multiple ordinances and resolutions by consent and roll call. Many items on the meeting agenda were described on the record as routine and were adopted without extended debate.
Key outcomes at a glance
- Items 1–11 (consent calendar): The clerk recorded the consent roll call; the clerk stated “There are 11 ayes.” These items were taken as routine and adopted without separate debate.
- Items 12 & 13: Two ordinances approving and adopting amendments to the Hunters Point Shipyard redevelopment plan and the Bayview Hunters Point redevelopment plan, respectively, and affirming CEQA determinations were called together and passed unanimously.
- Item 14: Ordinance amending the planning code to permit public parking lot uses as a matter of right in certain Glen Park and RH2 zoning districts and affirming CEQA — passed on the recorded call.
- Item 15: Planning-code ordinance — discussed in detail (see separate article). The board rescinded a prior first-reading vote and passed the ordinance on first reading as amended, restoring notification and tenant-counseling language.
- Item 16: Ordinance amending park code to set reservation rates for Golden Gate Park Tennis Center upon renovation and authorize rate-setting for related services — passed unanimously on first reading.

- Item 21: Motion to reject the mayor’s nomination of Joseph Marshall to the Police Commission (see separate article); the board approved the rejection by roll call (8–3).
- Items 24–30 (adoption without committee reference): The board considered these items for a single roll-call vote; the clerk recorded the roll-call for most items as passing. Items 28 and 29 (resolutions honoring Supervisor London Breed and Supervisor Jeff Sheehy for their service) were called together and later adopted unanimously (11 ayes recorded when these two were called separately).
Procedural notes
Several items were called together by the clerk as “same house, same call” and taken en bloc unless severed; supervisors severed items 28 and 29 initially for separate consideration and then the board voted to adopt them. Several items were forwarded as committee reports and were taken up under regular agenda procedures. CEQA determinations were affirmed where noted on the record.
What the votes mean
Most measures on this meeting’s agenda implemented technical changes to code, planning, or street configuration; several were ceremonial resolutions recognizing contributors or honoring departing officials. The rejection of the Police Commission nomination requires mayoral follow-up to nominate a replacement.
Where to find the official record
The clerk’s roll-call votes and the board’s adopted ordinances and resolutions are part of the official minutes and will be published by the Clerk of the Board. This article summarizes the motions and outcomes as recorded on the July 10, 2018 meeting transcript and roll call.
