Votes at a glance: San Francisco supervisors adopt planning, parking and health‑contract items; several matters continued
Summary
The Board voted unanimously on multiple consent and adoption items Tuesday, including final passage of a planning‑code amendment on eating and drinking establishments, resolutions approving parking and public‑health contracts, and an appointment to the Health Commission. Several items were continued or amended for later action.
At its April meeting, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a set of consent and adoption items by unanimous roll call and handled several other matters either by continuation or by motion.
What the board approved: The board adopted multiple consent items (items 1–15) by a single roll‑call vote. It also finally passed an ordinance amending the planning code on eating‑and‑drinking establishment definitions and controls (Item 16); adopted a resolution approving the professional services agreement for public and employee parking management through the San Francisco International Airport Commission with New South Parking, California (Item 18); and adopted a resolution authorizing the Department of Public Health to amend a contract with Netsmart New York Inc. to acquire product enhancements and extend the agreement term through June 30, 2018 (Item 19). The board also approved a mayoral appointment to the Health Commission (Item 21).
Quotations and context: President David Chiu summarized that "These ordinances are finally passed and resolutions adopted" after the roll call on consent items. On the Netsmart contract amendment, the board record notes the extended term as "08/01/2008 through 06/30/2018." The board adopted the parking management and contract items on the consent/adoption calendar without substantive floor debate.
Continuations and amendments: Supervisor David Campos moved to continue a resolution urging a summer jobs campaign for disconnected youth for one week; the motion was seconded and the item was continued to April 24 (Item 20). For Item 25 (a community needs assessment developed by the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families), Supervisor Chiu moved to correct the title to "children's services allocation plan" and to continue the item for one week to allow the corrected language to be filed. Several adoption‑calendar items (24–27) were acted on together by roll call unless severed; Item 25 was severed and continued as described.
Vote tallies: Multiple roll calls recorded unanimous or near‑unanimous ayes. The adoption counter recorded 10 ayes on the roll call items noted in the meeting record.
What to watch next: The Netsmart contract amendment extends the contract to June 30, 2018; tracking the amended contract language and the departments' reports on implementation will be necessary for follow‑up. The children's services allocation plan amendment was continued for one week to allow a corrected title and substitute language to be filed.
