Board adopts multiple ordinances and resolutions; minutes and several contract amendments approved
Summary
At its March 11 meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved meeting minutes, several ordinances on final or first reading, multiple real-estate and contract resolutions, and other consent items. Item 14 (empty homes tax ordinance) was continued to March 18 for amendments discussion.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on March 11 approved a series of routine and substantive items by unanimous voice or roll-call votes and adopted resolutions through the consent calendar and a unanimous roll call on a bundle of items introduced for adoption without committee reference.
Key outcomes recorded in the meeting minutes include:
- Approval of the Feb. 4, 2025 meeting minutes (roll call indicated "11 ayes").
- Consent calendar (items 2–8) and several ordinances were finally passed without separate debate, including amendments to campaign and governmental conduct code (Form 700 updates), property tax refund authority for the tax collector (refunds under $10,000 when no transfer occurred), and parking operator reporting requirements (items 2–8, 10–12 noted as finally passed in meeting text).
- Item 9: Ordinance retroactively authorizing the San Francisco Public Library to accept and expend a $1,900,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for jail and reentry services (grant period 11/01/2024–12/31/2027) and adding three grant-funded positions; recorded as finally passed.
- Item 13: Ordinance creating a voluntary disclosure program for unregistered taxpayers and authorizing the tax collector to collect related fees through 12/31/2027; passed on first reading.
- Item 14: Ordinance to suspend the empty homes tax pending final decision in Eric Debon et al. v. the City was moved for continuance by Supervisor Fielder. The board continued item 14 until March 18 at the mover's request to explore amendments intended to limit extended suspension while preserving voters' intent.
- Items 15 and 16: Resolutions approving second modifications to airport project management support contracts for SFO cargo building projects, increasing each contract by about $10 million and extending terms through 05/01/2029; adopted without objection.
- Items 17–20: Real property and lease resolutions were adopted, including a lease amendment for Communication and Control Inc. (monthly base rent stated as $9,080) and two village community facility leases at 1099 Sunnydale Avenue with Family and Child Empowerment Services and the Felton Institute (rents and term details recorded in the agenda text); adopted without objection.
- Items 21–22: Health Service System contract amendments, including amendments for Highland Software, Inc. and P&A Administrative Services with stated term extensions and contract increases; adopted without objection.
- Items 25–29 (adoption without committee reference): A unanimous roll call (11 ayes) adopted these resolutions on first reading as introduced.
Several of the items adopted on consent included detailed program descriptions and contract amounts in the clerk's agenda text; the board recorded "11 ayes" on multiple roll calls and stated several matters were finally passed "without objection." Item 14 was explicitly continued to March 18 to allow the sponsor and city attorney to explore text changes.
A full account of each ordinance or resolution (by agenda number) appears in the legislative record posted with the clerk's office; the meeting transcript records the board's roll calls, motion makers and seconds for the minutes and continuance motions.
