Below is a concise summary of formal actions the San Francisco Board of Supervisors recorded Feb. 9. Counts and short notes are drawn from the board roll calls and on-the-record motions.

- Consent calendar (Items 1–12): Passed unanimously (11–0). Item 7 (eviction‑notification ordinance) was severed for amendment — Supervisor Katy Tang removed a late amendment tying the ordinance to the Costa‑Hawkins Act; the item as amended (tenant notifications about city affordable‑housing programs for tenants facing eviction) passed unanimously.

- Item 13 (call from the Rules Committee; charter amendment to update inclusionary housing obligations and schedule a Committee of the Whole public hearing): Approved unanimously; committee of the whole scheduled for Feb. 23 (vote 11–0).

- Items 14–15 (central shops relocation project: project delivery agreement and a $62,000,000 transfer from the PUC wastewater enterprise fund to the City Administrator for the Central Shops relocation project for FY 2015–16 and 2016–17): Passed 8 ayes, 3 noes; Supervisors Peskin, Avalos and Campos voted no. The ordinances were finally passed.

- Item 16 (planning code amendment to allow administrative review for certain affordable housing projects and affirm CEQA): Passed unanimously on first reading (11–0).

- Fiber mapping (ordinance directing Department of Technology to gather and publish city fiber‑optic asset information and directing PUC to consider city‑owned fiber expansion): Passed unanimously on first reading (11–0). Sponsors described the measure as the first step toward possible municipal fiber expansion.

- Item 18 (retroactive third amendment to AT&T agreement extending term to 12/31/2020 and increasing the not‑to‑exceed amount to $12,422,400,000.00 — described as an administrative authorization): Passed unanimously on first reading (11–0). Staff explained the legislation is retroactive because the department submitted the amendment late.

- Item 19 (resolution adopting a fixed two‑year budget cycle for several departments): Amended on the floor to remove the public library and the employees’ retirement system from the fixed‑cycle list; amended resolution adopted unanimously (11–0). Staff clarified that child support, Public Utilities Commission, MTA, airport, port and retirement/library histories were reviewed and that the change returns treatment of library and retirement system to annual budgeting.

- Item 20 (SFPD acceptance/expenditure of a $77,000 state grant for marine unit equipment): Adopted unanimously (11–0).

- Item 21 (landscape irrigation control threshold amendment): Passed unanimously on first reading (11–0).

- Item 23 (charter amendment fourth draft — park, recreation and open‑space fund baseline appropriation): Continued to Feb. 23 at sponsor’s request.

- Item 24 (appointment to the Entertainment Commission): Rules committee recommended Joaquin Castillo Arana; Supervisor Jane Kim moved to appoint Laura Thomas instead. The board approved the substitution after an amendment vote (7–4) and then adopted the appointment (final adoption recorded as unanimous by roll call once amended); staff noted the motion passed and the board congratulated Ms. Thomas.

- Item 25 (appointment to Children and Families Commission — Zaya Malawa): Approved unanimously (11–0).

- Items 27–30 (commuter shuttle permit program and CEQA appeal): Board voted to continue the items to Feb. 23 by roll call, 8 ayes and 3 noes (Tang, Weiner, Farrell in dissent). Public comment was extensive and divided.

- Items 31–32 (resolution declaring public interest/necessity for capital projects and an ordinance calling a special election on June 7 to submit a GO bond to voters): Passed 10–1 on first reading; Supervisor Peskin voted no. Debate focused on late changes shifting the Animal Care and Control shelter out of the GO bond and toward COP financing, which staff said could increase long‑term costs.

- Item 33 (planning code amendment to require conditional use authorization for any residential unit removal in a C‑3 downtown commercial district and to expand landscaping/permeable surface requirements): Passed unanimously on first reading (11–0).
