What was continued, tabled or withdrawn: The mayor withdrew the Ryan Brooks appointment (Items 17/18); items 20 and 21 were tabled; the sidewalk-encroachment items at 1166 Haight Street were continued to April 29.

Why this matters: The roll calls included multiple budget, public-health, planning and appointment items that affect city procurement, shelter operations, restaurant labeling and local land-use procedures. Several items were routine; a few drew debate and were covered separately.
