What this means
The Board held a regular meeting where supervisors voted to back keeping the JROTC program in San Francisco schools and postponed further action on an ordinance about supportive housing to give more time for review. Officials heard public objections about proposed assessments for blighted properties and recorded the hearing. Several large contract amendments and funding items (including public health services, early childhood services, water system engineering, and supply contracts) were submitted and sent to the Budget and Finance Committee for detailed consideration, meaning residents should expect follow-up committee hearings before final approval.
