Rules Committee agrees to send community policing and 'food/beach patrol' ordinances to Board for July 27 hearing
Summary
The committee agreed without objection to send two related measures — an ordinance establishing a community policing policy and 'food/beach patrol' program and a separate ordinance addressing bans on lying or sitting on sidewalks — to the Board to be heard July 27; the file was amended and split, and includes language originally proposed by President David Chu.
The Rules Committee voted to send two related measures to the full Board for a July 27 hearing: a motion/order and ordinance establishing a community policing policy and a "food/beach patrol" program, and a second ordinance intended to supplant any city ordinance or voter-approved measure that bans lying or sitting on public sidewalks.
Chair David Campos said the files had been amended and split; he noted that new language in one of the files had originally been proposed by President David Chu. Campos also said the item was authored by Supervisor Ross Mercurimi and cosponsored by President Hsu and Supervisors Avalos and Campos.
The committee opened Items 2 and 3 for public comment and, seeing none, closed public comment. Chair Campos relayed that Supervisor Mercurimi's office requested the items be sent to the full Board not as a committee report but so the Board could hear them on July 27. "If we can take that without objection," Campos said, and the committee proceeded to send the items to the Board to be placed on the July 27 calendar.
No recorded roll-call vote was taken on Items 2 and 3 at Rules Committee; the chair announced the request to forward the items and the committee took the motion without objection. The measures will next appear before the full Board for hearings and any subsequent votes.
