As the meeting gets underway in the People's Chambers this afternoon, we should point out that there are actually two agendas for today's Board of Supervisors meeting (Dueling agendas, huh? Imagine that...): The first is our usual 2 p.m. meeting and the second is a Special Meeting to approve Temporary Mayor Ed Lee's budget amendment for the City and County Redevelopment Agency (assuming it went through Budget and Finance Sub-Committee earlier today). On to today's items of interest, in order of their appearance:
(Remember, the fun kicks off at 2 p.m. and you can always follow along live at SFGovTV.org or grab both agendas here if you like legalese.)
- Item 6. Sunshine Ordinance Task Force: The Sunshine Ordinance is why we have so much readily available data and information about the goings on in city government. So, obviously we think it's important because it saves us the trouble of digging around for records in the bowels of City hall where there's no probably no WiFi. Also, SFist pal and alum Jackson West is being appointed, so it's kind of like we're going legit with this whole blogging thing.
- Item 21. Upper Fillmore Neighborhood Commercia District: Mark Farrell's proposal to lift the ban on new restaurants along Fillmore in Pac Heights is still bouncing around in the People's Chambers. You'll remember Farrell wants to replace empty storefronts with restaurants - conditionally, of course, because we wouldn't want any chain joints up there.
- Item 23. Process for Mayoral Appearance at the Board of Supervisors: Yep, still waiting on final approval of the process. When we checked in after last week's meeting, Avalos was trying to inject some spontaneity in to the process, but President Chiu and Anti-Happy Meal Mar were happy to just give Temporary Mayor Ed Lee all week to prepare answers to questions submitted by the supervisors. Those guys all seem like great pals.
