Votes and roll call Where roll call votes were recorded in the transcript, the nine supervisors voting aye were: Supervisor Avalos; Supervisor Breed; Supervisor Campos; President Chu; Supervisor Cohen; Supervisor Farrell; Supervisor Kim; Supervisor Mar; Supervisor Tang. Supervisors Wiener and Yi were excused earlier in the meeting.

What the votes do and next steps Many items were routine contract approvals, grants, or policy resolutions that permit executing contracts, accepting gifts of improvements, and directing departments to pursue feasibility studies or policy work. Several ordinances were passed on first reading and will return for subsequent readings as required by city law. Item 8 (local hire code amendment) will remain at a 30% mandatory participation level pending further review of implementation data, rather than automatically increasing to 35% this year.
