Votes at a glance: Budget & Finance Committee recommendations, July 15, 2009
Summary
Summary of committee actions on items 1–17: multiple measures were forwarded to the full Board (many without recommendation), several items were continued for further analysis and some lease/contract items were recommended with amendments.
The Budget & Finance Committee took action on a broad agenda and sent a number of items to the full Board of Supervisors with recommendations or continuances. Key committee outcomes included:
- Item 1 (Greater Union Square BID assessment ballots): forwarded to the full Board with recommendation (no objection). - Items 2 & 3 (VLF resolution and ordinance): forwarded to the full Board without recommendation so the measures can be considered for the November ballot. - Item 4 (half‑cent sales tax ordinance): forwarded to the full Board without recommendation. - Item 5 (Rec & Park parcel tax): continued for further amendments and public input (next week). - Item 6 (naming rights for Candlestick Park): continued one week to allow a minor amendment and correct an administrative code citation. - Item 7 (Planning Code fee increases and new fees): forwarded to the full Board with recommendation (after ensuring public comment was allowed and minor procedural steps were followed). - Item 8 (DPW acceptance of Article 3 TDA funds — $333,000): forwarded with recommendation. - Item 9 (Port lease L‑14705 — Sustainable Crushing Ventures): forwarded with recommendation. - Item 10 (PUC $119.8M wastewater appropriation): continued to July 29 pending PUC submission of workforce and environmental details. - Item 11 (HSA JobsNow, ARRA TANF funding): continued to next Wednesday; roll‑call on continuance (recorded as 3 ayes, 2 noes on the motion to continue). - Items 12–15 (several real‑estate lease renewals and the library cafe lease): forwarded to the Board with recommendation and minor retroactivity amendments on specific items. - Item 16 (resolution to amend CalPERS contract to transfer 33 airport police officers into SFERP): forwarded with recommendation; airport funds cover the city portion of the cost. - Item 17 (SFMTA contract CS‑159 with Transbay Joint Powers Authority): forwarded with recommendation.
Several items were taken "without objection" and thus do not have recorded roll‑call tallies in the transcript; the committee documented continuances and requests for additional reporting where noted above.
