Robin Takayama, who manages the Community Challenge Grants Program in the City Administrator's Office, told the committee the updates bring the program in line with the original voter intent and modern grantmaking practices. Key changes described in the presentation include limiting eligible applicants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (clarifying that this is a community fund, not a city-department grant), removing an outdated financial match requirement that posed barriers to applicants, and eliminating unnecessary administrative preferences and steps. Takayama said staff paused two funding cycles while updating the rules and that approval would allow them to release a new RFP.

\"This update gets us back to supporting that work,\" Takayama said, referring to community-led murals, parklets and greening projects funded by CCG. Committee members expressed support and asked to be added as cosponsors; the committee moved the item to the full board with a positive recommendation and the motion passed without objection.

The full Board of Supervisors will receive the revised rules for final approval. The committee record did not include specific funding amounts for the next grant cycle; the presentation said staff intend to resume grant rounds after the board approves the rule changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Francisco County - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jun 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Rules Committee approved forwarding revised rules and regulations for the Community Challenge Grants (formerly Neighborhood Beautification and Graffiti Cleanup Fund), tightening applicant eligibility to 501(c)(3) nonprofits and removing an outdated matching requirement to streamline grantmaking.","taxTitle","San Francisco County, California","taxId",2862,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544238,"Committee clears amended airport surveillance policy to full board; adds mobile cameras and roadway monitoring",242,1115000,1357000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34&start=1115&end=1357","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34/thumbnail_1115000.jpg","/articles/6544238/San-Francisco-County/California/Committee-clears-amended-airport-surveillance-policy-to-full-board-adds-mobile-cameras-and-roadway-monitoring","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544238-2498701a6cad63e2f5525aafb7a64c72/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440389&Signature=HJWBOQ0kyWXmxEcdOWHN7sKs5KqGuzRjkggTYIIPwt-iEOS0rb257GkIuL20-s-uWVXVdHANYkuUuR~Ks9L8pIx3XwhRwSw6RCxEQu380w0FVhrmdumH3O-7kMo~DIG9yNLYpVsvIWZk20Rs-NwSWY5ZGzQNse8geSVHxuo0wcDU76Kk438-tsQjCmIY71seR7iQzxRSZOQEXTqAdf206fBKb9mKXa6ZVBC9HVx5w4m2o6pd3M-aTbSDCg9KZIcDXg~rSK9ejrcHiY12zPs3nx6wpO6PHj6yYH8sHdC13SIsvyYnT2FlKXBPIdUuf0Qi40F~IaQHeKQ3TPY3wG-4Hw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rules Committee on June 9 voted to forward to the full board an amendment to the airport's pre-security surveillance technology policy that authorizes additional camera deployments in remote areas and expanded roadway monitoring.

Guy Clark, IT operations manager for the airport, said the amendment does not change the policy's core authorized use cases but adds specific allowances for mobile camera units in remote locations (for example, temporary wheeled solar-powered towers used at construction sites) and for traffic-flow surveys conducted periodically by airport landside operations. Clark said the airport also plans to add a small number of roadway cameras to support an \"airport integrated operation center,\" a centralized operations room that will monitor flights, surface traffic and weather conditions.

\"The pre-security camera policy supports the airport's mission and primary objective of safety and security,\" Clark told the committee. The presentation described proposed mobile camera placements such as at the Rent-A-Car Center and North Access Road, and said mobile units would be stored when not in use.

There was no public comment on the item. The committee approved a motion to move the amended surveillance technology policy to the full board with a positive recommendation; the motion passed without objection. The full board will receive the amendment for review and any further findings required under the Administrative Code.","The Rules Committee forwarded an amendment to the airport pre-security surveillance policy that adds allowances for mobile (temporary) camera units in remote airport locations and new roadway cameras to support an integrated operations center.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544244,"Committee advances ordinance creating multiple San Francisco entertainment zones amid neighborhood objections",251,857000,1108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34&start=857&end=1108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34/thumbnail_857000.jpg","/articles/6544244/San-Francisco-County/California/Committee-advances-ordinance-creating-multiple-San-Francisco-entertainment-zones-amid-neighborhood-objections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544244-d97309b622ecdd7119dffb9109bf6ef2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440389&Signature=nZEBtsGb9glGIoeIqeMgp8jhb1M3rWOGbjOtd0HABvtPENrAcNP1Lw5kRJR0rX7YBFpZwOpCY1ASfdYX2pADviScFuAcqB0CmtHNGWVIVKK0-06BS6iu9MZ7NyOpRhDvYXIiUt2Ypz7Hy8Izyk2--D4c5O4GqPJQK4kogzPyj7igF7WaPaJB~8~MSfISUWLj43g8GSov2Ft4ENb1LX60yQnD0kw8~o6vzqsWzVJaOBCoITkas0G6dsKmmt~bySe5M4jMT1q-Iuhm-u0fGSz10tK4dEG0jCcXSpOvwoxjIzzIUQo7XcV3darK3eSyuk6Pb5UbMWj61Ab8qdqxA2zucg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rules Committee on June 9 voted to send to the Board of Supervisors an ordinance creating several city \"entertainment activation\" zones, including Valencia Street, Pier 39, Folsom Street, Ellis Street, Yosemite Avenue, Hayes Valley and Yerba Buena Lane.

The clerk noted the item had been continued previously to add areas. Richard Johnson, speaking for a Hayes Valley coalition called HV Safe, told the committee the neighborhood of more than 9,000 residents learned about the proposed Hayes Valley inclusion through a press announcement rather than community outreach. \"This legislation was introduced in an unethical and exclusionary manner,\" Johnson said, and he asked the committee to require more equitable notification and engagement with neighborhood stakeholders before moving forward.

Chair Supervisor Walton said the legislation affects several supervisorial districts and expressed support for the measure; she moved to forward the item to the full board with a positive recommendation. The motion carried without objection (Vice Chair Cheryl, Member Mandelmann and Chair Walton all voting aye).

The ordinance will be considered by the full Board of Supervisors. Committee discussion did not record changes to the ordinance text during the hearing; public commenters asked for additional outreach and process clarifications. The committee's positive recommendation advances the item to the full board for possible adoption or amendment.","An ordinance to establish several entertainment-activation zones across the city, including Hayes Valley, Valencia Street and Pier 39, was forwarded to the full board after public comment from Hayes Valley neighbors who said they were not properly notified.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544249,"Rules committee advances ordinance to broaden San Francisco homicide reward fund eligibility",351,501000,852000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34&start=501&end=852","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34/thumbnail_501000.jpg","/articles/6544249/San-Francisco-County/California/Rules-committee-advances-ordinance-to-broaden-San-Francisco-homicide-reward-fund-eligibility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544249-3a612c4fafcf86deb0045601c25d04b3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440389&Signature=mguoaYeQKG98-4BJO6jRXSzCplwPo3IAUjWPMbRZANAd7shX24E7EIiv17m7gUFi7duTy0RfWO7oTh7GkRS~7tB6QJsMo94XWG5bE9V34n2isMgsPrvukNpmAIXkHavc3lYUPs6HfBO2TajZEWRLB1MpWcLLhokn1ziYk7OuXcg4BB2pIFXvDs-dQXieuUAlgLkLTcrCq7OaCRbZwYqFvks4rp3HgEnSYOGv~ay3Z7xjj4tIDwl0RECgXKfSWESsyWBwldBV75-3OMzcg4MI4dMC0iU1t07Fdt-WkJyHF0HqEehLanYEyxRKT-mkz3QZvyOB6LNvr7SQIPe3qwqSkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rules Committee on June 9 voted to send to the full Board of Supervisors an ordinance that would amend the San Francisco Administrative Code governing the Homicide Reward Fund, authorizing broader eligibility criteria and new payment discretion.

Domenica, staff from Supervisor Matt Dorsey's office, told the committee the ordinance is intended to \"reform and modernize San Francisco's homicide reward fund,\" and said the fund has not paid any rewards in more than a decade. She described changes that would allow the police chief to approve a reward when information leads to the filing of criminal charges (not only convictions), prohibit denial of reward payments based on a tipster's request to remain anonymous or on the tipster's arrest or criminal history, require that information be provided voluntarily (not as part of a plea bargain), and bar payments for false information.

A public commenter urged the committee to pass the legislation, describing an unsolved murder of her 17‑year‑old son and saying many people who know details have not come forward. \"I'm praying that this resolution passes today,\" the speaker said.

Chair Supervisor Walton moved that the item be forwarded to the full board with recommendation; the motion carried without objection (Vice Chair Cheryl and Chair Walton voting aye; Member Mandelmann absent). The committee record shows the San Francisco Police Commission previously passed a resolution recommending similar changes.

The ordinance now goes to the full board for consideration. The committee did not vote on final ordinance text or appropriations; the item before the committee was a recommendation to place the ordinance on the Board's agenda.","The committee voted to send an ordinance to the full board that would allow the police chief discretion to approve rewards when tips lead to charges, permit anonymous tip rewards, and remove exclusion based on an informant's arrest or criminal history.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544254,"Rules committee forwards two appointment items, continues one",402,97000,499000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34&start=97&end=499","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3727007-c991b5d92882cfddd3b923a05bfdca34/thumbnail_97000.jpg","/articles/6544254/San-Francisco-County/California/Rules-committee-forwards-two-appointment-items-continues-one","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544254-b2132f46881b0d99310d63223fe10736/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440389&Signature=jCEKrCrhOYsXAGiPR3a0ikMD9bNNLwY0tBfQk3urBARLUpnak0yMSo18T~7PwifCfoM80ENRgq5ZRV0pDAuYiVQ6Ee~f4b1WgVDQsR0MU9rF6KBAoEurD5TUL91z80v7hFGifVy-VPKsZkqxmz1riDNP5z1kjiOz2dXgtYml2bsSBuN3NIdMfvlz~E~bULUM~fPRIjnjxQzn0HMxXMAyST0Ny-kRYyh2e0a8epkGjvKfjXtVUDH8RO-lzrEKIglFKZXeoyQ3GyojxkV6AW6e-rF1aQRQovetTd~ew71-Eu7d9HA0nlsCQB6yyeYBAY9Ei4Jb9EJMWgCWdTB5mGk3FA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rules Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 9 advanced two appointment items to the full board and continued a third.

Chair Supervisor Walton moved to send the mayor's nomination of Gail Chen Strang to the Historic Preservation Commission (term ending 12/31/2028) to the full board with recommendation; Vice Chair Cheryl seconded the motion and the committee approved it without objection, with Member Mandelmann absent.

Gail Chen Strang introduced herself to the committee and outlined her architectural background and preservation experience, including work with the Ninth Circuit judiciary, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and a restoration and reuse project that reopened the Strand Theatre on Market Street. \"Balancing preservation and growth is personal for me,\" Strang said, describing projects that required compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and seismic and accessibility upgrades in historic buildings.

The committee also moved to appoint LaJuana McAlpine to the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority, Seat 4 (term ending 03/01/2028). McAlpine, who identified herself as an IHSS worker of more than 15 years, told the committee she wanted to represent consumers and relay service-level concerns from providers and clients who prefer to remain at home rather than enter institutional care.

A third appointment — a hearing to consider one member for the Children's and Families First Commission — was continued to the call of the chair because the candidate was not present. The committee voted to continue the item without objection.

The committee's actions were procedural recommendations to the full Board of Supervisors; final confirmation of the Historic Preservation Commission and IHSS Public Authority nominees will occur at a later board meeting.","The Rules Committee on June 9 voted to send two nomination items to the full board with positive recommendations — a Historic Preservation Commission nominee and an IHSS Public Authority appointment — and continued one Children's and Families First Commission appointment to the call of the chair.","actionData","errors"]
