What this means
The Board of Supervisors approved several measures that affect city operations and worker benefits. One major change raises the dollar amount for grants that need Board approval, which could speed up some smaller grant actions while keeping larger awards under closer review. The Board also approved a change to paid parental leave rules so employees can qualify after 90 days of work instead of 180 days. The meeting also included multiple mayoral and board appointments, which fill seats on city commissions and advisory bodies.
