Board of Supervisors to Vote on $535M Infrastructure Bond and Term Limit Reform

Critical Votes Set for Board of Supervisors Meeting

Today, Tuesday, February 3, 2026, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will convene at 2:00 p.m. in City Hall, Room 250, for a session dominated by long-term infrastructure planning and significant changes to the city’s electoral rules. The primary agenda item is the final vote on a $535 million Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response (ESER) Bond. If approved, the measure will be placed on the June 2, 2026, ballot, seeking voter authorization to fund critical upgrades for the city’s aging emergency infrastructure, including fire stations and police facilities.

In addition to the bond measure, supervisors are expected to debate a proposed charter amendment regarding term limits. Often referred to as the "Peskin Ban," the measure seeks to close a loophole in the current city charter that allows supervisors to serve more than two terms if those terms are not consecutive. Board President Rafael Mandelman and other members will consider whether to send the reform to voters, a move that has sparked intense debate over the value of legislative experience versus the need for political turnover.

SFMTA and School Board Hold Special Sessions

Earlier today, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Board of Directors held a special meeting at 9:00 a.m. at 1455 Market Street. While the city prepares for a busy week of events, the agency is focusing on security protocols and transit adjustments necessary for the upcoming international events scheduled at the Moscone Center. Attendees were required to undergo enhanced security check-ins, reflecting a heightened focus on safety as the city enters a high-profile month.

Later this evening, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) Board of Education will hold a special meeting at 5:00 p.m. at 555 Franklin Street. A central item on the agenda is a resolution that would authorize the Superintendent to take necessary actions to maintain district operations and ensure student safety in the event of a "concerted refusal to work." This move comes amid ongoing labor negotiations and underscores the administration's concerns regarding potential disruptions to the school year.

Impact on San Francisco Residents

These meetings take place as Mayor Daniel Lurie continues his push for government efficiency and permitting reform. While the Mayor’s schedule today includes high-level briefings on public safety, the legislative heavy lifting remains at City Hall. Residents interested in providing public comment on the bond measure or term limit reforms can attend the Board of Supervisors meeting in person or participate via the city's remote call-in system. As the city balances major infrastructure needs with internal political reforms, today’s votes will set the stage for the June primary election and the city's fiscal priorities for years to come.
