Board approves multiple bond appropriations, park conveyances and appointments in unanimous roll calls
Summary
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a range of routine and fiscal items on June 7, 2016, including revenue bond appropriations for transportation and utility projects, conveyances for park and development parcels, and multiple committee appointments, largely by unanimous votes or on first readings.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 7, 2016, approved a series of ordinances, resolutions and appointments covering bond appropriations, park conveyances and board appointments in a set of largely unanimous roll-call votes.
The board approved an ordinance to appropriate $207 million in revenue bond proceeds to the Municipal Transportation Agency for FY2016–17 projects and equipment and took multiple SFPUC-related bond and loan authorizations (items 13–18) to fund water, wastewater and power capital improvement programs. The board also adopted resolutions authorizing conveyances, easements and the designation of park properties including Mission Bay Kids Park, and confirmed several appointments to advisory boards and commissions.
Why it matters: The actions authorize multi-year financing for major city infrastructure and formalize conveyances and appointments that affect capital projects, parks and advisory oversight. Many of the measures were taken on first reading or as routine items and carried by unanimous consent or roll call.
Key outcomes (selected): - Item 10: Ordinance appropriating approximately $207,000,000 in revenue bond proceeds to MTA — passed on first reading, unanimous. - Items 13–18: Multiple SFPUC revenue bond and loan authorizations and reappropriations — passed on first reading, unanimous. - Item 20: SFMTA revenue bond resolution (up to $207,000,000) — adopted unanimously. - Item 27: Cooperative agreement for Nineteenth Avenue improvements with Caltrans — adopted unanimously. - Item 43: Dedication and acceptance of Mission Bay Kids Park — passed on first reading, unanimous. - Items 33–36 and 37 (partial): Appointments and reappointments to the Local Homeless Coordinating Board, Assessment Appeals Board, Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, Mental Health Board and Balboa Park Station Community Advisory Committee (the latter tabled) — votes recorded as noted in the minutes.
Background: Several of the measures implement long-planned capital and conveyance steps by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, Municipal Transportation Agency and related departments. Most fiscal items were read together and carried without controversy, which allowed the board to move quickly through bond and capital appropriations. Some items were discussed separately elsewhere on the agenda and in committee prior to the full board vote.
Looking ahead: Many of the appropriations and bond authorizations implement multi-year capital programs; further approvals and implementation steps by the affected agencies are required before project construction begins.
