Rules Committee tables police‑code encampment removal ordinance after sponsor withdraws measure
Summary
An ordinance to amend the police code to provide a process for removing encampments when housing is available was withdrawn by the sponsor and tabled by the Rules Committee; no public comment was heard and the item will be reconsidered later.
The Rules Committee opened Item 3 — a proposed ordinance to amend the police code and submit the measure to voters on 2016‑11‑08 — and heard that Supervisor Peskin wished to withdraw the measure. The committee closed public comment with no speakers and moved to table the item without objection.
Clerk materials described the proposed ordinance as providing a process for the removal of encampments when housing or shelter is available for encampment residents. Chair Katie Tang said she received word from Supervisor Peskin asking to withdraw the measure; following that notice the committee voted to table the item for later consideration.
No public testimony on Item 3 was recorded in the transcript; the committee did not take final action on the substance of the ordinance and instead tabled the item. The motion to table was made following the sponsor’s withdrawal and carried without objection.
