Board adopts multiple items including America's Cup MOU and housing reallocation; $15.5M bond reappropriation passes first reading

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a series of consent and calendar items on Tuesday, approving multiple resolutions and ordinances by unanimous or near‑unanimous vote.

Key actions included adoption of a memorandum of understanding between the Controller's Office and the Port Commission concerning financial reimbursements for America's Cup activities, and a resolution designating agencies eligible to participate in city pension/benefit programs for officers and employees. The board also moved forward on housing finance: an ordinance to deappropriate approximately $15,500,000 of market-rate general obligation bond proceeds and reappropriate the amount to the Mayor's Office of Housing's below-market-rate seismic safety loan program passed on first reading.

Several routine measures were adopted by a single roll-call vote after being placed on the consent calendar. Supervisors used the "same house, same call" practice for multiple ordinance readings and consent approvals where no member requested separate consideration. For items with recorded roll-call votes, the board recorded 10 ayes on multiple measures early in the meeting; later recorded votes on the adoption‑without‑committee calendar also showed unanimous support on the called items.

Itemized outcomes (selection): - Items 1–5 (consent agenda): adopted by roll call (10 ayes). These routine items were acted on together; no member requested discussion. - Item 6: Ordinance amending planning and administrative codes pertaining to development impact and in‑lieu fees — finally passed (same house/same call). - Item 7: Zoning map correction for Market and Octavia area plan — passed on first reading (same house/same call). - Item 8: Administrative Code amendment defining summaries for public notices — passed on first reading (same house/same call). - Item 9: Resolution approving an MOU under Charter section B 7.32 between the Controller and the Port Commission regarding America's Cup reimbursements — adopted (same house/same call). - Item 10: Resolution designating agencies eligible to participate for officers and employees — adopted (same house/same call). - Item 11: Ordinance deappropriating ~$15,500,000 of market-rate GO bond proceeds and reappropriating to the Mayor's Office of Housing for a below‑market seismic safety loan program — passed on first reading after public questions from Supervisor Chu and explanation from staff on levy impact. - Item 12: Motion approving the 02/2011 work plan and performance goals for the Budget and Legislative Analyst joint venture; motion approved (same house/same call). - Item 13: Resolution adopting CEQA findings for the Bay Division pipeline projects 3 and 4; adopted (same house/same call). - Item 23: Motion authorizing preparation of written proponent/opponent ballot arguments for the June 7, 2011 consolidated special election; the board amended the motion to list single proponents or opponents for certain measures and approved the amended motion.

Several other items were introduced or discussed in committee and will return for further action. Where recorded, votes were taken by roll call and are reflected in the board minutes.
