Board approves multiple ordinances and resolutions on consent; salary and tax measures recorded on first reading
Summary
At the Sept. 16 Board meeting several consent and adoption items were approved by roll call, including property tax levies for city and overlapping districts, appropriations, bond and grant resolutions, and extensions for planning commission deadlines. A salary ordinance amendment and other items were passed on first reading.
The Board of Supervisors handled a series of routine and noncontroversial items by roll call and adopted multiple ordinances and resolutions listed on the consent and adoption calendars.
Key outcomes recorded on the floor during the meeting:
- Items 1–3 (consent agenda) were passed by roll call; the clerk recorded 10 ayes and the chair stated, “Those ordinances are finally passed.”
- Item 4: Ordinance amending the Administrative Code regarding the In‑Home Supportive Services Public Authority to provide compensation for members attending meetings — recorded as finally passed.
- Item 5: Ordinance amending the Administrative Code (source hiring expansion and covered permits in Market/Octavia plan) — recorded as finally passed; a recusal was noted for one supervisor on the item.
- Item 6: Ordinance amending Administrative Code to establish a reentry council — passed by roll call (11 ayes recorded).
- Items 8–11: Ordinances providing revenue and levying property taxes for city, community college, unified school district and BART for fiscal year ending 06/30/2009 — passed on first reading by roll call (11 ayes recorded).
- Item 12: Appropriation of community impact fee revenue (Visitation Valley) for Leland Avenue Streetscape Improvements — passed on first reading.
- Item 13: Resolution approving amendment to a real property ownership agreement among Peninsula Corridor JPB/SamTrans/Santa Clara VTA/City — adopted.
- Item 15: Resolution approving issuance and sale of tax‑exempt bonds for nonprofit capital facilities — adopted.
- Item 16: Resolution establishing appropriations limit for fiscal year 2008–09 — adopted.
- Item 17: Ordinance amending annual salary ordinance to add two positions in the police department — passed on first reading; roll call recorded 6 ayes and 5 noes.
- Items 26–36: Adoption without committee reference (various public‑health grants, proclamations, final map approvals and other routine items) — adopted by roll call (10 ayes recorded on that calendar).
These items reflect routine fiscal and administrative business noted in the Board’s agenda; specific funding amounts for some items were recorded in the clerk’s readout (for example, Item 12 cited approximately $111,000 from the Visitation Valley Infrastructure Fund). Where items were passed on first reading, additional formal adoption may require a subsequent hearing or reading per city procedure.
