Board approves multiple budget, contracting and administrative measures; several items continued for later hearings
Summary
At Tuesday's meeting the Board of Supervisors approved a string of ordinances and resolutions on interim budgets, contracting and administrative changes, and adopted several routine resolutions; the board continued a handful of items to later dates and approved two appointments.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 24 adopted multiple ordinances and resolutions covering interim budgets, contracting rules, appointments and routine matters, and set future hearing dates for several appeals and charter items.
Key outcomes at a glance - Items 9 & 10 (interim consolidated budget and annual salary ordinance): Passed on roll call; vote recorded as 10 ayes, 1 no (Supervisor Daly voted no). The ordinances appropriate estimated receipts and expenditures for the city and enumerate positions in the annual budget for the stated fiscal years.
- Item 11 (enterprise zone tax credit revisions): Passed (clerk reported "finally passed").
- Item 12 (Potrero resolution): The board divided the resolution; the transmission-only portion passed 8-3 and the remainder was referred to committee (see separate article).
- Item 13 (charter amendment to appoint rather than elect the city treasurer): Continued to July 8 at request of sponsors for possible consolidation with related charter measures.
- Items 14 (public works commission charter amendment): Continued to July 8.
- Item 15 (disbursements from the budget savings incentive fund): Adopted on roll call 10-1 (Supervisor Daly no); included reallocations to several capital projects and cultural facilities.
- Item 16 (administrative code changes for contracting procedures, progressive payments, design-build and integrated project delivery): Passed on first reading with an 11-0 roll call.
- Items 17-22 (various compensation, administrative and minority/women/local business program ordinances): Passed on first reading or adopted as noted; Items 21 and 22 were amended to set retroactive dates to 07/01/2008 and passed as amended.
- Item 23 (appointment of Gwyneth Borden to the Planning Commission): Motion approved.
- Item 24 (charter amendment to change election cycle to even-numbered years): Continued to July 8.
- Items 29 and 31 (budget and redevelopment agency resolutions and ordinances): Items 29 and 31 were taken and passed on first reading; Item 30 (hotel room tax de-appropriation/reappropriation) was continued to July 15 at the request of board members seeking clarification.
- Item 33 (appointment of Rafael Mandelmann to Board of Appeals): Motion approved.
- Items 36 through 46 (adoption without committee reference of a set of ceremonial resolutions and technical approvals): Adopted (roll call reported 11 ayes on that group).
- Items 25-28 (Jackson Street environmental exemption and related appeals): Continued to July 29 at 3:30 p.m.; the board waived the usual rule that appeals be scheduled at 4 p.m. or later.
Why this matters: Taken together, these approvals and continuances implement budget allocations, adjust contracting rules intended to streamline complex public works projects, and advance or preserve a set of administrative and ceremonial items. The board also used its procedural authority to continue and consolidate several charter and planning hearings.
Votes and next steps: Several items passed on first reading and will return for final reading as required. Items continued to July and later dates will return for committee or full-board action, including the charter amendment on the treasurer and the Jackson Street appeals.
