Title:
Ordinance calling and providing for a special election to be held in the City and County of San
Francisco on Tuesday, June 8, 2010, for the purpose of submitting to San Francisco voters a
proposition to incur the following bonded debt of the City and County: $412,300,000 to finance the
construction, acquisition, improvement, and retrofitting of Neighborhood Fire and Police Stations, the
Auxiliary Water Supply System, a Public Safety Building, and other critical infrastructure and facilities
for earthquake safety 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 Chapter 37 of the San Francisco Administrative Code; 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, CEQA Guidelines, and San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 31
for the remaining portion of the proposed bond; finding that the proposed bond is in conformity with
the priority policies of Planning Code Section 101.1(b) and with the General Plan consistency
requirement of Charter Section 4.105 and Administrative Code Section 2A.53; 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 San Francisco
Municipal Elections Code Section 510; complying with the restrictions on the use of bond proceeds
specified in Section 53410 of the California Government Code; incorporating the provisions of the San
Francisco Administrative Code, Sections 5.30 - 5.36; and waiving the time requirements specified in
Section 2.34 of the San Francisco Administrative Code.
