The Quality of Life Committee took several procedural and event‑authorization votes during the meeting.

Votes at a glance

- Approval of the agenda: motion and second; "Aye" recorded and chair stated the motion carries (voice vote; roll call not specified in the transcript).

- Approval of the consent agenda: motion, second and roll call were held; the meeting record shows the motion passes. The transcript does not include a full named tally for the initial consent motion beyond affirmative responses and the chair's confirmation.

- Postpone/reschedule of presentation (Item H): Committee member motioned to receive the presentation outside the meeting and to allow Director Rod Gould to meet individually with council members; motion carried by roll call (Councilor Alma Castro: Yes; Councilor Chavez: Yes; Councilor Garcia: Yes; Madam chair: Yes). The committee therefore did not take the time for a full Item H presentation at this meeting and approved distributing the presentation to members for follow up.

- Resolution authorizing sale and consumption of beer and wine during the Route 66 Centennial Festival (Item I), sponsored by Councilor Alma Castro and others: committee approved the item with an amendment to correct event hours. The amendment replaced the originally listed hours (5 to 10 p.m.) with 3 to 7 p.m. (transcript: "replace 5 with 3, and replace 10 with 7"). The amendment passed by roll call (Councilor Alma Castro: Yes; Councilor Chavez: Yes; Councilor Garcia: Yes; Madam chair: Yes). On the main motion (as amended) the committee passed the authorization by roll call: Castro Yes; Chavez Yes; Garcia Yes; Madam chair Yes. The resolution number was noted in the packet as "2025 to be numbered later." The code authority cited on the agenda was "subsection 23‑6.2(c), SFCC 1987." The transcript did not record a public comment period on this item and did not list any opposing votes.

What this means: The amendment corrected the hours for permitted alcohol service and the committee voted unanimously in favor of both the amendment and the main motion at the committee roll calls recorded in the transcript.

Ending: Staff will finalize the resolution numbering and process the event authorization consistent with subsection 23‑6.2(c) SFCC 1987 and the amended hours.
