Board approves consent and routine items, adopts resolutions and ordinances in unanimous roll calls
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved multiple consent and adoption items on Feb. 14, 2012, including appointments, ordinances, and resolutions. Several large measures were passed on first reading or final passage under "same house, same call."
At its Feb. 14 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved a number of consent and adoption items by roll call, many read as "same house, same call" (no separate debate recorded). Highlights:
- Item 2: Appointment of Arcelia Hurtado to the Board of Appeals (term ending 07/01/2012) — roll call: approved (11 ayes recorded for consent calendar actions).
- Items 3–9: A cluster of ordinances covering matters including waivers for a land disposition tied to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (Item 3), health service system plans and contribution rates (Item 4), extension of restrictions on checkout bags and a 10¢ bag fee (Item 5), public‑works sidewalk width authorizations and fee establishment (Item 6), and Glen Park area planning and general plan amendments (Items 7–9) — transcript records these as "finally passed" or "finally passed on same call."
- Item 10: Confirmation of Arcelia Hurtado to the Board of Appeals (nomination by President David Chiu) — motion approved on same call.
- Item 11: Charter amendment first draft (election cycle changes) — introduced and debated (see separate coverage of ranked‑choice debate).
- Items 14–16: Resolutions authorizing administrative actions, including a five‑year lease option for 19,000 sq. ft. at 1740 Folsom Street for the Sheriff's Department (Item 14; roll call vote: recorded as 10 ayes), and an increase to a Public Utilities Commission design services agreement for the new PUC administration building (Item 15; adopted), and a resolution supporting insertion of community reinvestment and social responsibility language into the Treasurer's cash management banking services RFP (Item 16; adopted after sponsor remarks).
- Items 17–20: Mission Bay and Chinatown land‑use and special‑use district map amendments and appointments were taken and passed at first reading; committee reports were filed for Land Use Committee items.
Why it matters: The board's actions move forward multiple implementation and capital projects and reaffirm administrative authority for contracts and leases. Item 16 signals the city's interest in leveraging public banking relationships for community reinvestment and foreclosure mitigation efforts.
The clerk recorded roll calls for many items; for contested or debated items, see corresponding articles for fuller coverage.
