Board adopts a package of ordinances, resolutions and grants; minutes approved

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Sept. 3 approved the meeting minutes and adopted a series of ordinances, resolutions and grant agreements taken on the consent and adoption calendars.

The board unanimously approved minutes from multiple July meetings and then took up items on the consent calendar, including street‑closure fee waivers, a landmark designation for the Gilbert Baker rainbow flag installation at Harvey Milk Plaza, and an ordinance to prohibit use of algorithmic devices to set rents or manage occupancy levels in residential units. A package of grant acceptances and amendments for the Recreation and Park Department, the Department of Public Health, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and the District Attorney also passed without separate roll call discussion.

Why it matters: The actions clear routine business and funding authorizations and include several policy items—most notably a new local prohibition on automated rent‑setting tools and targeted financial instruments—taken on largely unanimous consent or first reading.

Key outcomes (selected): - Approval of multiple meeting minutes (roll call recorded as 11 ayes). Supervisor Safaie, Supervisor Stephanie, Supervisor Walton, Supervisor Chan, Supervisor Dorsey, Supervisor Guardio, Supervisor Mandelmann, Supervisor Melgar, Supervisor Peskin, Supervisor Preston and Supervisor Ronan voted in favor as recorded during the minutes approval roll call. - Ordinance to waive temporary street closure fees for events on sections of Irving, Noriega and Taraval streets — finally passed. - Landmark designation for the Gilbert Baker rainbow flag installation at Harvey Milk Plaza — finally passed. - Ordinance prohibiting sale or use of algorithmic devices to set rents or manage occupancy levels for residential units — finally passed. - Authorization to issue certificates of participation up to $29,000,000 related to the acquisition of the Concourse Garage — passed on first reading. - Targeted amendment to real property transfer tax rates for certain projects (first reading) — introduced and passed on first read. - Grant acceptances and contract amendments: Recreation & Park (Buchanan Street Mall, ~ $8,100,000; India Basin shoreline park, $5,500,000); Office of Economic and Workforce Development (Bay Area Community Resources amendment to raise contract by $4,800,000 to approximately $14,800,000); Department of Public Health (fentanyl overdose prevention program, ~ $1,300,000); District Attorney (county victim services program, ~$364,000 with $91,000 local match); and others — all adopted.

The board also approved two conditional liquor‑license determinations for proposed venues (items 16 and 17) and adopted a resolution to update the infill opportunity zone for congestion management planning.

Several items were recorded as passed on “same house, same call” or adopted without separate roll call; where the transcript records a specific roll call (for the minutes), the count was 11 ayes. Other items were recorded as adopted or finally passed but the transcript did not include a full roll call for each.

Ending: The board closed general public comment after multiple speakers and proceeded to adjourn the meeting in memory of Adam Banks.
