Council adopted item 10 with amendment 10A, 10 ayes. Public discussion described negotiated access to homelessness data and a greater City role in housing matching. The original agenda requested litigation options and reports on County negotiations and a City-only Continuum of Care. The final amendment text is absent from this bundle, so those original requests should not be read as the final instructions.

What moved in the room
Council adopted the homelessness governance item as amended with 10 ayes, noted and filed the fire department item with 11 ayes, and received the citywide parks needs assessment.
After the fire department presentation, Council voted to note and file the item, 11 ayes. The original motion requested an implementation plan, staffing and capital priorities, and an accountability framework. The final vote does not establish that those proposed instructions were adopted or that Measure FD has passed.
Council adopted the committee recommendation to note and file the assessment, 12 ayes. Discussion stressed park conditions and neighborhood investment; this action does not itself fund improvements.
