San Francisco — The Board of Supervisors adopted a lengthy consent calendar at its Sept. 26, 2006 meeting and approved multiple ordinances and resolutions addressing public health funding, land sales, redevelopment agreements and technical changes to city codes.
Items the board approved included appropriations for the Department of Public Health to fund four public health nurse positions (Item 23); amendments to the Department of Public Health position ordinance (Item 24); an appropriation for an HRC representative (Item 25); amendments to the police code to reimburse advisory committee travel expenses (Item 26); authorization to sell city-owned property at 425 Mason Street (Item 27); an extension of a city contract term (Item 28); a disposition and development agreement for the Old Mint with the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society (Item 29); a bond reimbursement resolution and related mortgage revenue bond approvals for 650 Eddy Street (Item 30); preliminary and final official statements for issuance of lease revenue bonds payable from the parks fund (Item 31); traffic-code amendments adjusting speed limits on the Embarcadero and King Street (Item 32); and an administrative-code amendment renaming the Department of Emergency Communications as the Department of Emergency Management and establishing related divisions and qualifications (Item 33).
Other items adopted on the calendar included designation of new right-of-way and park areas in Mission Bay (Items 34–35); changes to municipal election and administrative code provisions related to landlords' pass-through of property tax changes tied to GO bonds (Item 36); planning-code amendments to permit certain nonconforming uses to occupy sidewalk space for tables and chairs under standards and a fee (Item 37); a procedure for the city attorney to provide legal representation for planning department and building inspection staff at board-of-appeals hearings (Item 38); amendments to the rent-stabilization ordinance to identify and report evictions involving school-age children (Item 39) and a companion resolution urging SFUSD to track student mobility caused by residential evictions (Item 40); an appointment to the Mental Health Board (Item 41); and a resolution authorizing settlement of a minimum-wage litigation claim (Item 42). The board also adopted several ceremonial resolutions and proclamations, and approved an “adoption without committee reference” calendar (items 46–58) that included a range of sink-in-place items from community celebrations to grant acceptances.
Several items received more substantive discussion and are covered in separate articles: Item 33 (renaming Emergency Communications/establishing Department of Emergency Management), Item 36 (landlord pass-through language for GO bonds), Item 37 (sidewalk seating in nonconforming areas), Item 38 (city attorney representation at board of appeals), and Item 42 (minimum-wage settlement and debate over penalties). Those items and their debates are summarized in separate reports from this meeting.
Votes and technical outcomes: most items on the consent and adoption calendars were approved by “same house, same call” or roll call as noted in the official record. Where specific roll-call tallies or detailed vote-by-name records were spoken in the transcript, those are included in the related, topic-specific articles; when a roll-call tally was not read aloud in the excerpt, the action is reported here as “adopted” or “passed on first reading” to reflect the board's announced outcome in the official meeting record.
