Board adopts series of ordinances and resolutions on planning, grants, contracts and utilities
Summary
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Feb. 3, 2015 approved a package of ordinances and resolutions covering wireless site permits, homeless shelter zoning rules, new advisory committees, grants for parks and museums, mental-health contract amendments and utility agreements. Most measures passed unanimously by roll call.
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors on Feb. 3 adopted a set of ordinances and resolutions covering planning changes, grant awards and city contracts, most by unanimous vote.
The measures, taken largely under the consent calendar or with short presentations, included amendments to the public works code for personal wireless service facilities; planning-code changes to define homeless shelter use and to consolidate awning/canopy/marquee rules; creation of a children, youth and families oversight committee; and several grant acceptances and contract approvals.
Highlights recorded in the meeting: a resolution retroactively approving amendments to long-term mental-health services agreements totaling approximately $113,000,000; a Recreation and Park Department acceptance of a $500,000 Parks Alliance grant for Joe DiMaggio playground; a $3,500,000 grant from the Randall Museum Friends for the Randall Museum renovation; a master customer generation agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric for a solar project at Pier 1; and a property lease for 86 Otis Street with an approximate monthly rent of $41,000 and city-funded tenant improvements estimated at $611,000. An emergency public-works authorization for a boiler replacement at Potrero Terrace not to exceed $425,000 was also adopted.
Most items were recorded as "same house, same call" and adopted unanimously on roll call. Where a roll call was read aloud, clerks recorded 11 ayes and the chair announced unanimous adoption.
The board did not debate these items in depth at the Feb. 3 meeting; they were presented as routine or with short staff summaries and moved by single roll-call votes. Several other ordinances and resolutions appearing later on the agenda were taken up separately in committee or on later calendar dates.
