Procedure notes and next steps
Many items were carried as "same house, same call" or adopted by a single roll call as routine consent items. A number of items were passed on first reading where required; those will follow the normal ordinance process. The board continued several charter amendments and the Potrero resolution for further work and potential division into separate questions. Supervisors and staff will return to continued items at the next meeting, and affected applicants or agencies should monitor the clerk's agenda for re-notice.
Votes and motions recorded here are summarized from the board roll calls taken on June 17; where the clerk used "same house, same call" no mover was identified in the record.
