What this means
The Rules Committee is scheduled to review proposals that could affect housing funding, how the City solicits donations for temporary shelters, and whether an Affordable Grocery Fund goes on the November ballot. Most items on the agenda are charter amendments or procedural referrals; some have been assigned to the committee under the City’s 30‑day rule or transferred from other committees. If the committee refers items to the full Board, the Board would take the next formal steps such as placing an initiative on the ballot or advancing a charter amendment.
