Title:
Ordinance calling and providing for a special election to be held in the City and County of San
Francisco on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, for the purpose of submitting to San Francisco voters a
proposition to incur the following bonded debt of the City and County: $425,000,000 to finance the
construction, acquisition, improvement, and seismic retrofitting of Neighborhood Fire and Police
Stations, the Emergency Firefighting Water System, seismically secure facilities for the Medical
Examiner, the Police Department’s Traffic Company, the Police Department’s Forensic Services
Division, and other critical infrastructure and facilities for earthquake safety, the construction,
acquisition, and improvement of streetlights on public rights-of-way, and related costs necessary or
convenient for the foregoing purposes; authorizing landlords to pass-through 50% of the resulting
property tax increase to residential tenants in accordance with Administrative Code, Chapter 37;
finding that the estimated cost of such proposed project is and will be too great to be paid out of the
ordinary annual income and revenue of the City and County, and will require expenditures greater
than the amount allowed therefor by the annual tax levy; reciting the estimated cost of such proposed
project; fixing the date of election and the manner of holding such election and the procedure for
voting for or against the proposition; fixing the maximum rate of interest on such bonds and providing
for the levy and collection of taxes to pay both principal and interest; prescribing notice to be given of
such election; finding that a portion of the proposed bond is not a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and adopting findings under CEQA for the remaining portion of the
proposed bond; finding that the proposed bond is in conformity with the eight priority policies of
Planning Code, Section 101.1(b), and is consistent with the General Plan; consolidating the special
election with the general election; establishing the election precincts, voting places, and officers for
the election; waiving the word limitation on ballot propositions imposed by Municipal Elections Code,
Section 510; complying with the restrictions on the use of bond proceeds specified in California
Government Code, Section 53410; and incorporating the provisions of Administrative Code, Sections
5.30-5.36; and waiving the time requirements specified in Administrative Code, Section 2.34.
