Votes at a glance: Board adopts consent items, contracts and grant resolutions
Summary
The Board approved the consent agenda and multiple resolutions, including a $30 million MTA contract, farmers-market fees for Rec & Park land, a five‑year Navy cooperative agreement for fire and EMS at Hunters Point, and authorization for the Department of Public Health to apply for an estimated $16 million CDC HIV‑prevention grant.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a block of consent items and several stand-alone measures by roll call or unanimous procedural consent.
Key outcomes
- Consent agenda (Items 1–9): Adopted by roll call (11 ayes). The chair stated the ordinances were finally passed, resolutions adopted and motions approved.
- Item 11 (Farmers market fee, Rec & Park): Ordinance amending the park code to establish farmers market fees at $475 per market location for six months of operation. Sponsor said the measure enables neighborhood testing of farmers markets on Rec & Park lands; passed on first reading by unanimous procedural consent.
- Item 12 (MTA contract): Resolution approving a Municipal Transportation Agency contract for advanced train-control system improvement services and equipment purchases for an amount not to exceed $30,000,000 and a term not to exceed eight years; adopted by same-house, same-call vote.
- Item 13 (Local goals and policies for Mello-Roos community facilities districts): Adopted. This was considered related to Item 10’s enabling legislation.
- Item 14 (PUC water-system structural rehab and roof replacement findings): Resolution adopting findings related to SFPUC water-system improvement; adopted.
- Item 15 (Fire Department cooperative agreement with U.S. Navy): Resolution authorizing a five‑year cooperative agreement to provide fire and emergency medical services on portions of Hunters Point Shipyard under federal ownership and accept and expend Navy reimbursement funds; adopted.
- Item 16 (Children’s Services Allocation Plan): Resolution approving the children’s services allocation plan for the children’s fund in accordance with Charter section 16.1(a); adopted.
- Item 21 (Port Commission appointment): Motion confirming the mayor’s reappointment of Kimberly K. Brandon to the San Francisco Port Commission for a four‑year term ending 05/01/2013; approved.
- Item 28 (CDC HIV prevention grant): Resolution authorizing Department of Public Health to submit a two‑year application to continue receiving federal HIV prevention funding from CDC, approximately $16,000,000 for calendar years 2010–2011; adopted.
Procedural notes: Several items were described as passed on first reading by “same house, same call” or without objection. Where recorded roll-call votes occurred, the clerk’s record shows unanimous action or 11 ayes.
Why it matters: The bundle advances transit upgrades, public-health grant continuity, neighborhood food-market pilots, and a Navy-funded arrangement for fire/EMS at a federal site. Several items have direct budgetary or operational effects for city departments.
What happens next: Projects requiring contracts, intergovernmental agreements or further administrative steps will be implemented by the named departments and subject to standard procurement and stewardship processes.
