The Board approved routine consent items and a cluster of resolutions and contracts in a single‑call sequence; this roundup lists those items, their brief descriptions and outcomes from the Nov. 20 meeting.
The Board of Supervisors took routine consent votes covering multiple departments and contracts during the Nov. 20 meeting. The clerk performed “same house, same call” votes for many items; the key actions and outcomes are outlined below.
What passed (high‑level summary):
- Items 2–11 (consent): Meeting minutes and routine items — roll call showed 11 ayes and the clerk announced the ordinances and resolutions were passed, adopted or approved.
- Item 19: Ordinance amending business and tax regulations to allow a district assessment term up to 40 years when assessments are pledged to bonds/financing — passed (first reading) with 11 ayes.
- Item 20: Resolution declaring intention to establish the Moscone Expansion Business Improvement District and levy multi‑year assessments on defined hotels — adopted (same‑call).
- Item 21: Resolution approving a lease amendment (Treasure Island Firefighting Training Center master lease) with the US Navy — adopted (same‑call).
- Item 22: Resolution approving an agreement with SFO Shuttle Bus Company for shuttle services at San Francisco International Airport (amount not to exceed $105,000,000, term through 6/30/2016 with options) — adopted (same‑call).
- Items 23–31: Multiple retroactive grant acceptances, contract authorizations and master lease extensions for city departments (Municipal Transportation Agency, Department of Public Health, Department of Public Works, Department of the Environment, Department of Emergency Management, etc.) — adopted on same‑call.
- Item 25: (See separate article) Resolution regarding the Pier 30–32 Warriors proposal was adopted as amended at roll call (11 ayes).
- Items 26–37: Additional grant acceptances and the temporary special hearing items (tentative parcel map appeal resolved after appellants withdrew) — adopted or tabled per clerk call; several items were approved by unanimous same‑call votes.
- Item 40: Ordinance suspending the Yellow Pages distribution pilot program (Land Use report) — passed first reading.
Notes and next steps: - Many of the noncontroversial resolutions and contract approvals were passed under same‑call votes and are recorded in the official clerk’s minutes. - Items that were continued (for example, transit impact fee update and the school supplemental appropriation) were rescheduled for Dec. 4. Item‑specific follow‑up (environmental review, procurement or reporting) will be carried out by the respective departments listed in each item’s staff report.
If you need the formal roll‑call details and the official ordinance/resolution numbers for any specific consent item, those records are available in the board clerk’s official minutes and the online agenda packet for Nov. 20, 2012.
