Summary
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 26 adopted routine consent items, advanced a police union MOU on first reading, and remanded a Parkside house permit for further CEQA/historic review.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 26 took a mix of routine and contested actions; highlights follow.
- Consent calendar and routine measures: The board adopted the consent calendar for items 1–18 by roll call after no member requested separation. Those ordinances and resolutions were recorded by the clerk as finally passed or adopted as read.
- Budget and salary ordinances: The board approved interim ordinances appropriating estimated receipts and expenditures and enumerating positions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 (items 19–20). A roll call recorded passage.
- Police MOU (Item 45): The board advanced on first reading an ordinance implementing a memorandum of understanding with the Police Officers Association; roll call was 10 ayes and 1 no. (See separate coverage.)
- CEQA appeal (Items 37–40): The board disapproved the Planning Department’s categorical-exemption determination for a proposed large addition at 2462/246220 Seventh Avenue and directed the clerk to prepare findings reversing the approval; vote was 7–2. (See separate coverage.)
- Resolutions and referrals: The board designated official and outreach newspapers for the city and county for the 2007–2008 year (items 23–26) with mixed roll-call outcomes on split votes, and referred several items— including a resolution on the annual Blue Angels air show (item 51) and a housing-authority/grant request (item 50)—to committee for further review. Item 48 (a resolution on bisphenol A restrictions) was tabled at the sponsor’s request.
- Medical cannabis policy (Item 53): After a declared recusal by one supervisor, the body adopted a resolution stating the city’s intent with regard to pending state legislation and enforcement for certain medical cannabis dispensaries; roll call returned 10 ayes.
The meeting included a broad set of supervisor introductions and requests that will be referred to committees for follow-up (trash-receptacle replacements in the Richmond District; a requested review of golf-course revenue practices and a proposed golf-course task force; draft codes of conduct; an ordinance to allow wind generators in a Bernal Heights special-use district; and other items).
