The City’s proposed $6.5 billion budget was approved Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors, along with nearly $500,000 in funding for Mayor Gavin Newsom’s ambitious new court designed to bring help to those arrested in the crime-plagued Tenderloin…
The [City's] budget was approved in a 10-1 vote, with Daly in opposition.
In a separate vote, the board voted 7-3 (Supervisors Tom Ammiano, Chris Daly and Ross Mirkarimi voting no) to approve spending $500,000 in startup money for Newsom’s proposed community court. The board had previously rejected the funding.
As proposed, the Community Justice Center would target offenders in downtown areas charged with misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies, including such offenses as disorderly conduct, drug use and theft. Those charged would have the choice of receiving social services or facing the usual legal consequences.
Supervisor Daly made a motion to add language to the Community Justice Center proposal — that car camping, obstructing doorways, panhandling, camping in parks would NOT be brought before the Community Justice Center. The motion failed.

I’d like to bring your comment up on my main page.
It went before the full board the same day yesterday and it’s here
http://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=10
it’s item 62 and starts almost exactly at 3 hours 0 minutes and goes
until 3 hours 35 minutes
total board video is 5 hours, which is a little large to download and
dissect and split. I might do it tho
the daly amendment vote was split 5-5 and therefore failed, and it’s
been approved for next Tuesdays full board I think
Wow, what a turnaround; I was at the Board of Supervisors meeting where they agreed to shelve this for later discussion and thought it was all but dead. So, hooray!
