At-a-glance: Supervisors approve appointments, budget/finance items and several resolutions
Summary
During the Aug. 8 meeting the Board confirmed multiple mayoral reappointments, approved committee-recommended ordinances and bond-related resolutions, and adopted a package of adoption-calendar items including support for Proposition 1C.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Aug. 8 approved a series of routine but consequential items without extended debate, including mayoral reappointments, committee-recommended ordinances, and bond- and map-related actions on the adoption calendar.
Appointments and confirmations: The board approved the mayor—s reappointment of Bruce G. Lauren to the Entertainment Commission (item 8) by roll-call vote recorded as 9 ayes. The board likewise approved the mayor—s reappointment of Michael Garcia to the Board of Appeals (item 9); the clerk recorded the motion approved under the same-call procedure.
Finance and tax items: The Budget and Finance Committee—s report led to action on an ordinance updating the business and tax regulations code relating to the utility users tax (item 26). The board passed the ordinance on first reading by roll call with 7 ayes and 2 noes. The board also approved a resolution authorizing distribution of a preliminary official statement for city general obligation refunding bonds (item 27) by roll call (10 ayes).
Adoption calendar and other actions: The board asked the legislative analyst to produce a report comparing police disciplinary processes in other jurisdictions (item 30) by unanimous consent. The adoption calendar (items 31— 37) passed without committee reference and included a resolution expressing support for California Proposition 1C (housing and emergency shelter), authorization for revenue bonds, and four final parcel maps; the clerk recorded the adoption-calendar package as approved.
Ending: These approvals finalize a number of mayoral nominations and financial- and land-use procedural steps; several measures (including the utility tax ordinance) passed on first reading and will return for final adoption in a subsequent meeting.
