The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted on a broad slate of ordinances, resolutions and appointments on June 6, adopting the items listed on the consent and without-reference agendas mostly by unanimous roll call votes.
Most items were on the consent calendar and passed without debate or with brief staff explanations. Measures included appropriations, lease amendments, bond authorizations, contract amendments, housing subsidies and several appointments to city boards and commissions. A handful of higher-profile items that drew separate discussion were considered elsewhere on the agenda.
Highlights from the session include: ordinances and resolutions to reappropriate and de-appropriate District participatory budget funds; authorization of housing revenue bonds and related purchase-and-sale agreements to advance 100% affordable housing projects; amendments to existing leases for city agencies; and a series of operating subsidy agreements to support formerly homeless households at specific addresses. Several procurement and insurance contract authorizations and amendments were also adopted.
The following is a concise checklist of passed items called on the roster during the meeting, with the formal outcome as recorded on the floor. Where the roll call or clerk’s statement recorded a tally, that is noted; otherwise the clerk announced unanimous adoption.

Where roll-call tallies were given on the transcript, the clerk recorded them; where the clerk announced unanimous adoption, the vote was unanimous. The lone recorded dissent during the roll calls noted on the transcript was on Item 46 (Microsoft cloud contract), which passed but with two recorded “no” votes (Supervisor Kim and Supervisor Peskin) — that item is covered in a separate article with the fuller debate and rationale.
Background and context: most items were routine or part of ongoing housing, procurement, and administrative work. Several housing-financing items and subsidy agreements advance long-planned affordable and supportive housing developments in Districts 7, 9 and 10. The board also used the session to ratify leases and contracts needed to maintain city operations.
Ending: The board concluded the business on its calendar and adjourned after making in-memoriam announcements and scheduling follow-up hearings and items for future meetings.
