Summary
At its June meeting the board passed a package of ordinances, appropriations and memoranda of understanding covering ethics and lobbying code changes, public‑utilities bond approvals (first readings), interim budget ordinances, multiple retroactive contracts and a broad set of employee MOUs.

Many consent items and first‑reading ordinances were approved with “same house, same call” procedural handling; items with substantive comment or public hearing were taken up separately. The board also continued or rescheduled certain items (for example, Item 8 settlement continuance moved to July 8). For contested items (SFMTA CEQA appeal, housing‑element EIR), see separate articles in this package for detailed coverage.
