Board of Supervisors adopts series of ordinances, appropriations and grant actions; certificates of participation authorized

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 3 voted to approve a slate of ordinances, appropriations and resolutions covering financing, departmental appropriations, contract modifications and grant increases.

The board took unanimous or unanimous-in-voice action on more than a dozen items that had been placed on the consent or regular agendas. Actions included authorization for the sale of certificates of participation to refund prior debt, several appropriations and grant agreements for homelessness services, a reappropriation of ambulance service revenue to the Fire Department to cover projected overtime, and a $32 million increase and four-year extension for an SFO capital program support services contract.

The votes were taken largely without extended debate. Several items were recorded as passed on first reading or adopted "same house, same call" after roll-call confirmations. In some cases the clerk recorded an 11-0 tally; other items were adopted by unanimous voice when permitted by procedure.

Key items approved included the following (votes and motions as stated in the meeting transcript):

- Ordinances authorizing certificates of participation and appropriating proceeds for refunding (Items 9 and 10): passed on first reading. - Administrative-code fee increases for the Assessment Appeals Board and for city-operated farmers markets/Alameda Flea Market (Items 11 and 12): passed on first reading. - Ordinance appropriating approximately $7.9 million of ambulance-service revenue to the Fire Department and related de-appropriations and salary/overtime adjustments (Item 13): passed on first reading; the ordinance requires two-thirds vote and the clerk recorded passage. - Resolution retroactively authorizing the Adult Probation Department to accept and expend a $1.5 million CalAIM grant from the California Department of Health Care Services for Jan. 31, 2025–June 30, 2026 (Item 14): adopted. - Second modification to an SFO capital program support services contract with T.Y. Lin International, increasing the contract by $32,000,000 to a new total of $40,000,000 and extending it through Sept. 29, 2029 (Item 15): adopted. - Three resolutions approving amendments and assignments for Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing agreements (Items 16–18), including multi‑year, multi‑million-dollar increases and term extensions for multiple providers: adopted. - First amendment increasing a senior operating subsidy grant with Chinatown SROs LLC by $572,000 to $6.7 million to fund rent subsidies through June 30, 2039 for 35 extremely low income seniors (Item 19): adopted. - Approval for issuance of revenue obligations by the California Enterprise Development Authority to finance facilities for the California Institute of Integral Studies up to $15 million (Item 20): adopted. - Motion enacting a 4.5% cost of living adjustment for the base fiscal year for Budget and Legislative Analyst services effective July 1, 2025 (Item 21): approved. - The board also approved the resolution of intent and ordinance to establish the San Francisco Downtown Revitalization and Economic Recovery Financing District (Items 22–23); Item 23 was amended on the floor to clarify departmental cost reimbursement language before the item passed on first reading. - A waiver of contracting requirements to permit tenant improvements by Cast at Large LLC at Pier 29 (Item 24): passed on first reading. - Commemorative and recognition resolutions including renaming a block for Dr. Amos C. Brown and related honorary actions (Items 25–26): adopted. - Planning-related authorization to apply for priority conservation area designations through ABAG/MTC (Item 27): adopted. - Appointment motion to confirm a Port Commission nomination (Item 28): approved. - Items introduced for adoption without committee reference (Items 31–32): adopted unanimously after roll call.

Several items were described on the dais by the clerk with dollar amounts and term dates; these descriptions are reflected in the ordinance/resolution language that the board adopted. Where the clerk noted legal or procedural thresholds (for example, Item 13 requires a two‑thirds vote), the board proceeded with the required roll call and the clerk recorded the necessary tally.

The meeting record shows many of these items were taken under the board's "same house, same call" practice, meaning they were moved and adopted together when no member objected. Where members did request changes (for example a cosponsorship added to an item on consent), clerks recorded those requests before the roll-call adoption.

Votes at a glance (selection): - Items 1–8 (consent): adopted (clerk recorded 11 ayes). - Items 9–10 (certificates of participation ordinances): passed on first reading (no objection to same house/same call). - Item 13 (Fire Department ambulance revenue appropriation, ~ $7.9M): passed on first reading; ordinance description recorded; two‑thirds threshold noted by clerk. - Items 16–18 (homelessness grant amendments, total increases in the tens of millions): adopted. - Item 15 (SFO T.Y. Lin contract increase to $40M through 9/29/2029): adopted.

Notes: the transcript records many items as "passed on first reading" or "adopted" after the clerk read the item and a roll call where applicable. Where the clerk recorded an 11‑0 vote the article reports the vote as unanimous; where the transcript used the phrase "without objection," the board adopted by unanimous consent.

Ending: The board concluded its agenda after completing roll calls and in memoriams. Several passed items will proceed to final administrative steps (e.g., ordinances moving to final readings or placement on controller reserves) as specified in the clerk's descriptions during the meeting.
