Summary
In a largely unanimous session, the board adopted items including a Port appropriation of $18.5 million for dry dock stabilization, several easement purchases, contract amendments with Vitalant and Transdev, Treasure Island lease extension, and multiple commendations and resolutions; item 37 was continued to March 3.
At its Feb. 24 meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors acted on a range of administrative, financial, and ceremonial items, adopting multiple resolutions and ordinances largely without objection.
Key fiscal and contract actions included:
- Item 8: An ordinance appropriating $18,500,000 from the Port Harbor Fund to the Port of San Francisco for dry dock stabilization, disposal and other shipyard improvements for FY2025–26; passed on first reading.
- Items 11–13: Resolutions authorizing purchase and sale agreements and easement deeds for subsurface sewer tunnel easements on Gavin Street with listed property owners; amounts for each easement were read into the record and the resolutions were adopted.
- Item 14: A resolution retroactively approving the 50th amendment to the Treasure Island master lease between the Treasure Island Development Authority and the U.S. Navy to extend the term for one year (commencing 12/01/2025); adopted without objection.
- Item 15: A resolution approving a second amendment to the contract with Vitalant for blood and blood products for the Department of Public Health, extending the contract five years and increasing the contract by approximately $18,200,000 to a total of about $28,200,000; adopted without objection.
- Item 16: Authorization to amend an office lease at 258A Laguna Honda Boulevard with specified monthly base rent and extension options; adopted without objection.
- Items 19–20: Resolutions reauthorizing tax‑exempt lease revenue and commercial paper certificates of participation for multiple series with aggregate principal amounts described in the items; adopted without objection.
The board also passed ceremonial and policy items including a commemorative street name (Tien Fu Wu Way), resolutions concerning Pacific Gas & Electric Company accountability and local power issues, and a resolution retroactively approving an MOU to coordinate Urban Area Security Initiative grant funds across Bay Area jurisdictions.
The meeting included an extended series of commendations and recognitions presented by multiple supervisors honoring individuals and community groups — including Batters Up, Guns Down; the American Heart Association; Phyllis Bowie; Kylan Fowler; Joanna Zhang; and Raymond Clark — followed by public comment. The board severed item 37 (a resolution urging prioritized restoration of outdoor public warning systems in tsunami evacuation zones) and continued it to March 3 at the chair’s request.
Most items were adopted by unanimous voice or roll call votes; the clerk recorded votes where required. The meeting adjourned after reading several in memoriams and concluding business.
