Committee advances temporary extension of minority/women local business program tied to Coral Construction litigation
Summary
The Rules Committee moved two ordinances to the full board: a technical one‑year extension of the city’s minority/women local business utilization program (chapter 12D(a)) and an amendment to suspend enforcement of 14B until a 120‑day transition after the Coral Construction injunction is lifted or stayed.
The Rules Committee voted to forward two ordinances to the full Board of Supervisors tied to ongoing litigation in Coral Construction Inc. v. City and County of San Francisco.
Item 10 would extend the expiration date of chapter 12D(a) — the city’s minority/women local business utilization program — until one year after an injunction in the Coral Construction case is lifted or stayed. Item 11 would amend Administrative Code section 14B.18 to suspend enforcement and provide for reinstatement of 12D(a) 120 days after the injunction is lifted or stayed, giving the city an administrative transition window.
City staff described the measures as technical and protective steps so that, if courts allow reimplementation of the program, the city will have time to provide public notice and make required administrative changes. Staff estimated the court process could take several months and asked that officials plan for a 120‑day transition period should the injunction end.
No public speakers opposed the actions at the committee hearing; the committee moved both items to the full board with a favorable recommendation.
