Board adopts consent calendar and multiple ordinances and resolutions; adoption calendar passes on unanimous roll call
Summary
At the Sept. 12, 2006, San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting the board adopted the consent agenda (items 1–10), passed ordinances and an adoption calendar including a resolution opposing proposed DHS rule changes, and continued one item for one week. Several items were approved without committee reference by unanimous roll call.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Sept. 12 approved a range of routine and substantive items, adopting the consent agenda, several ordinances and an adoption calendar, and taking one continuance.
The board approved the consent agenda (Items 1–10) by a roll-call vote of 10 ayes, excusing Supervisor Alioto-Pierce. The clerk recorded, “There are 10 ayes,” and the chair stated that ordinances on that consent list were finally passed and resolutions adopted.
Item 11, a transfer of an off-sale general license (type 21) to Bristol Farms, Inc., was continued one week at the request of a supervisor.
Among non-routine items, the board passed Item 13, an ordinance amending the Planning Code to allow other entertainment as a principal use on the first and second stories in the Chinatown Visitor Retail District (with conditions that entertainment be in conjunction with a full-service restaurant); the clerk announced the ordinance has “finally passed.” Item 14, an ordinance amending provisions of the San Francisco finance ordinance, also “finally passed,” according to the clerk.
The board adopted an “adoption without committee reference” calendar (Items 17–27) by roll call, recorded as 10 ayes. Those items included:
- Item 17: Resolution authorizing the Public Library to accept and expend a $11,332 grant from the California State Library. - Item 18: Resolution opposing Department of Homeland Security proposed rule changes regarding Social Security “no-match” letters (a resolution referenced during public comment and formally adopted on the calendar). - Item 19: Resolution authorizing the Department of Works to accept and expend a federal grant of $75,243. - Item 20: Resolution approving a memorandum of understanding between the San Francisco Police Department and the San Francisco Housing Authority for additional police services to designated housing developments. - Item 21: Appointment/clerical correction extending Arthur Tom III’s term on the Assessment Appeals Board (ending Sept. 7, date as listed in clerk’s reading). - Items 22–27: Final map approvals for various properties (addresses listed in clerk’s reading).
The board also adopted Brown Act and Sunshine Ordinance findings by motion (same house, same call), and approved in-memoriam recognitions for multiple community members.
Public comment covered a range of city issues including opposition to proposed federal DHS changes on Social Security no-match letters and concerns about private funding in the public library; speakers included representatives of the San Francisco Labor Council and the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union who urged the board to oppose the DHS rule change.
