Board unanimous on many budget and port measures; condo-conversion ordinance narrowly passes final reading
Summary
The Board approved several calendar items and interim budgets on unanimous or near-unanimous votes. A condominium-conversion ordinance that imposes a conversion fee and suspends the annual condo lottery for certain buildings passed final reading by an 8–3 vote; other budget and appropriations items passed with 11 ayes.
At its meeting the Board of Supervisors approved multiple ordinances and resolutions on consent and in roll-call votes, including routine appropriations and confirmations; one contested ordinance on condominium conversions passed narrowly.
Key actions and votes at the meeting: - Item 10 — Condominium conversion ordinance (final passage): The board adopted an ordinance amending the subdivision code that would create a condominium-conversion fee applicable to certain buildings, suspend the annual condominium-conversion lottery until 2024 under specified circumstances, and restrict future lotteries to buildings of no more than four units (with conditions and limited exceptions for some five- and six-unit buildings). The measure passed final reading 8–3. Vote record (as called): Supervisors Mar, Yi, Avalos, Breed, Campos, Chu, Cohen and Kim voted aye; Supervisors Tang, Wiener and Farrell voted no. The clerk announced "This ordinance is finally passed."
- Items 11–14 — Interim citywide budget and related ordinances/resolutions: The board approved the interim proposed budget and appropriations ordinances and related interim salary and successor-agency budgets for fiscal years 2013–14 and 2014–15 by roll call (11 ayes). The clerk confirmed the items were passed on first reading and resolutions adopted.
- Items 15–19 — Airport and Port appropriations and salary adjustments and a resolution to accept Port Security Grant funds: The board took these items together (first reading and resolutions) by unanimous voice or "same house, same call" procedure; the clerk noted the ordinances passed in first reading and resolutions were adopted.
- Item 20 — Resolution retroactively authorizing an amended agreement between the Department of Public Health and the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs: The resolution, concerning retroactive authorization for contracts from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2014, was adopted ("same house, same call"). The board adopted the resolution on the consent calendar.
- Items 21–23 — Planning, public works and transportation-code amendments on mobile food facilities: After a substantive presentation (see separate article), these ordinances passed on first reading without objection.
- Appointments and confirmations: The board confirmed appointment motions on the consent calendar, including Barbara Seymour Campagnoli to the Entertainment Commission; Kimberly Brandon's reappointment to the Port Commission; and others recorded on the consent calendar. Those motions were approved "same house, same call," per the clerk.
The consent votes and many first-reading approvals were handled collectively when no member objected. The record shows the board used the "same house, same call" procedural practice for multiple agency budget and commission appointment items. The condominium conversion ordinance drew the most recorded dissent and was the single contested final-passage item on this agenda.
The clerk recorded roll-call tallies as votes were taken and announced results; the ordinances and resolutions will proceed to required subsequent steps per the city charter and code where applicable.
