Summary

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted consent items, accepted several grant-funded programs, approved leases and contracts, and confirmed appointments. Many items were passed on unanimous or house/same-call votes.

At Wednesday's meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a series of routine and noncontroversial items, accepted grants and contracts, and approved appointments on the consent and adoption calendars.

What passed (high-level): - Consent agenda (items 2 through 11) adopted by roll call (11 ayes). One consent item (item 9) was temporarily rescinded for amendment and later adopted as amended. - Item 13: Resolution upholding Department of Public Works recommendation to disapprove a revocable encroachment permit at 10 Niantic Avenue (adopted). - Item 14: Ordinance authorizing the Office of Economic and Workforce Development to retroactively accept and expend a $3,000,000 Department of Labor grant for the Tech SF Workforce Innovation Partnership; ordinance passed on first reading (same house, same call). - Item 15: Ordinance authorizing the Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept up to $80,000 from the Earned Assets Resource Network for a kindergarten-to-college program; ordinance passed on first reading (same house, same call). - Item 16: Ordinance accepting a $13,100,000 California Public Utilities Commission grant for energy efficiency and creating five grant-funded positions at the Department of the Environment; first reading passed (same house, same call) after discussion on program budget breakdown. - Item 17: Resolution approving a contract amendment with Aon Insurance Services West Inc. for excess liability insurance for the Central Subway project (adopted). - Item 18: Port Commission lease amendment with Autodesk Inc. at Pier 9 (adopted). - Item 20 & 21: Ordinances designating Sam Jordan's Bar and Twin Peaks Tavern as landmarks under the planning code (first readings passed; Twin Peaks Tavern received extended remarks from Supervisor Wiener). - Item 22: Ordinance amending the health code to require landlords to disclose whether units are designated smoke-free or smoking-optional (first reading passed); Supervisor Mar and others cited outreach and multilingual materials for small owners. - Item 23 & 24: Campaign and governmental conduct code amendments to require electronic filing of campaign statements and to update conflict-of-interest code (first readings passed). - Item 25: Ordinance amending the police code concerning Clipper Cove mooring penalties (first reading passed). - Item 26: Appointment to the Market & Octavia Community Advisory Committee; board amended the nominee (substituted Nick Wolf for Matthew Steen) and approved the appointment by roll call.

Why it matters: Together these items allocate grant money, authorize new positions funded by grants, designate local landmarks, update administrative codes and appoint civic advisors. Several items passed on unanimous or same-house calls that streamline administration of city programs.

Votes and procedural notes: Many items were passed without roll-call debate under "same house/same call" procedure. Where recorded roll-call votes occurred they were noted by the clerk and the meeting transcript records the vote tallies and member names.

Next steps: Items passed on first reading will return for second reading where required; grant-funded positions will be created and the executing departments will comply with grant terms and reporting requirements.
