The following is a concise list of formal actions taken by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors at the Dec. 11, 2012 meeting (high‑level summary; individual agenda numbers are noted where available):
- Consent calendar and routine resolutions: The board adopted multiple consent items (separate roll calls recorded in the transcript) and approved items presented on the consent calendar (items 2–3 and later grouped items; final consolidated votes recorded on the record).
- California Pacific Medical Center long‑range development plan (items 4–6): Motion to continue to the second meeting of the new year (January 29) — motion by Supervisor Farrell, seconded by Supervisor Campos — continued without objection.
- Unified School District appropriation (item 7): Motion by Supervisor Kim to continue the second reading to Jan. 15 — motion seconded and continued without objection.
- Outside Lands/Another Planet Entertainment permit amendment (item 23): Motion to approve extension of permit term and capacity increases; resolution adopted without objection after presentation by Supervisor Moore.
- Junk dealer and metal theft ordinance (item 24): Supervisor Cohen explained changes to permit and annual renewal structure to better regulate junk dealers and reduce metal theft; ordinance passed on first reading under “same house, same call.”
- Confirmation of Mayor’s appointments to the Community Investment and Infrastructure Commission (items 44–48): Motions to confirm appointments were approved without objection.
- Central Subway resolutions of necessity (items 27–38): After a public hearing, the board tabled items 29, 36 and 37 (property licenses for which SFMTA reported it had reached agreements) and adopted the remaining eight resolutions of necessity (items 28, 30–35 and 38) on roll call (11 ayes). The board’s action authorizes eminent‑domain proceedings for temporary construction licenses where negotiations were not concluded.
- Oak/Fell bikeways CEQA appeal (items 40–43, hearing with motions at 41–43): After a lengthy hearing with both appellants and supporters, the board voted to affirm the Planning Department’s categorical exemption and deny the appeal (motion to affirm passed by roll call, 11 ayes).
- Seniority lottery for newly elected supervisors (item 39): Clerk conducted drawing for seniority of incoming supervisors (Norman Yee tenth, London Breed eleventh in seniority), to be effective with oath at inauguration on Jan. 8, 2013.
- Introductions and continuances: A number of items were introduced and continued to January meetings, including the 10 Niantic Avenue encroachment permit (item 26 continued to January 15) and the CPMC LRDP environmental items (4–6 continued to Jan. 29).
- Final consolidated vote on items 50–61 (adoption without committee reference): Items 50 through 61 were called and adopted as a block on a roll call vote (recorded 10 ayes in the transcript at that moment; consult official minutes for full tally details).
Where tally details were recorded on a roll call in the transcript, outcomes and aye counts are noted above. When the record shows continuation or unanimous “same house, same call,” the clerk recorded adoption without additional roll call details.
