Votes at a glance: SFPUC consent calendar and contract amendments approved, closed session settlements announced
Summary
The SFPUC adopted the consent calendar, approved environmental analysis and contract amendments on items 9–11, asserted attorney-client privilege in closed session, and announced settlements for several litigation claims upon reconvening.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission approved routine and substantive items during its March 25, 2008 meeting and announced outcomes from its closed session.
The Commission moved, seconded and approved the consent calendar (which included ratifying an emergency declaration for O'Shaughnessy Pedestrian Tunnel B and multiple wastewater repair and replacement contracts). Item 9 (agreement CS898 to prepare an EIR for a bridge adjacent to an existing historic bridge to improve heavier-vehicle access) was moved, seconded and approved. Item 10 (Amendment No. 2 to Water System Improvement Program Agreement CS704) was moved, seconded and approved. Item 11 (Amendment No. 2 to contract CS799 for the sustainability plan) was moved, seconded and approved; the amendment adds $120,000 and extends the term to 3 years and 4 months.
The Commission recessed to closed session on security and several litigation claims (claim numbers were read into the record). Upon reconvening, commissioners announced item 14: no action; items 15–17: settled. The Commission then voted to withhold disclosure of closed-session details, and that motion carried.
Vote format: decisions were taken by voice vote and recorded in the minutes as 'the motion carries.' The transcript does not provide roll-call tallies or individual 'yes'/'no' votes for these items.
Actions recorded: consent calendar adopted; CS898 (EIR for bridge) approved; CS704 Amendment No.2 approved; CS799 Amendment No.2 approved; assertion of attorney-client privilege approved; decision not to disclose closed-session details approved.
