Summary
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved its consent calendar and adopted a package of resolutions and motions Tuesday, including major grant funding for the Randall Museum and a directive to audit the Housing Authority.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a series of routine and non-routine items Tuesday through its consent and adoption calendars, enacting grant acceptances, authorizing gifts, and advancing ordinances on first reading.
What the board approved: On a single roll call the board passed items 1 through 9 on the consent calendar. Subsequent roll-call votes enacted items 13–18 and 23–28. Among the items adopted were:
- A resolution authorizing the Department of Public Health to retroactively accept and expend a $300,000 grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for a hepatitis B early-identification program (item 13).

- A separate resolution authorizing an in-kind gift of project management services valued at $130,000 for the Randall Museum renovation project (item 16).
- An ordinance amending the Administrative Code to require public works contractors to pay subcontractors within seven days of receipt of payment from the city; that ordinance passed on first reading (item 17).
- A motion directing the Budget and Legislative Analyst to conduct a performance audit of the Housing Authority as a priority (item 18); the motion was approved.
Other procedural actions: Items 23–28 were enacted by roll call on the adoption calendar. The board also took first-reading action on items 10–12 (related to Moscone financing) and approved item 11 as amended; those matters are summarized in a separate article covering the Moscone expansion hearing and financing.
Vote tallies: Multiple roll-call votes recorded unanimous or near-unanimous support. The clerk recorded 11 ayes on the consent calendar and on the adoption items. Items on first reading were passed on the floor as allowed by same-house/same-call procedure.
Implementation notes: The Randall Museum grant and in-kind services will be administered by the Recreation and Park Department. The Budget and Legislative Analyst was directed to prioritize a performance audit of the Housing Authority; no timeline for the audit was specified in the meeting record.
The board completed other ceremonial and memorial adjournments and closed the meeting after the day’s business.
