The Board of Supervisors is the legislative body of the City and County of San Francisco. The Board has several
standing committees where ordinances and resolutions are the subject of hearings at which members of the public
are urged to testify. The full Board does not hold a second public hearing on measures which have been heard in

by Supervisors or by other persons testifying; 2) ringing and use of cell phones, pagers, and similar

meeting room.
Each member of the public will be allotted the same maximum number of minutes to speak as set by the President
or Chair at the beginning of each item or public comment, excluding City representatives, except that public
speakers using interpretation assistance will be allowed to testify for twice the amount of the public testimony time
limit. If simultaneous interpretation services are used, speakers will be governed by the public testimony time limit
applied to speakers not requesting interpretation assistance. Members of the public who want a document
displayed should provide in advance of the meeting to the Clerk of the Board (bos.legislation@sfgov.org), clearly
state such during testimony, and subsequently request the document be removed when they want the screen to
return to live coverage of the meeting.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The ADA is a civil rights law that protects people with different types of disabilities from discrimination in all
aspects of social life. More specifically, Title II of the ADA requires that all programs offered through the state
and local government such as the City and County of San Francisco must be accessible and usable to people with
disabilities. The ADA and City policy require that people with disabilities have equal access to all City services,
activities, and benefits. People with disabilities must have an equal opportunity to participate in the programs and
services offered through the City and County of San Francisco. If you believe your rights under the ADA are
violated, contact the ADA Coordinator.
Ordinance 90-10 added Section 2A.22.3 to the Administrative Code, which adopted a Citywide Americans with
Disabilities Act Reasonable Modification Policy that requires City departments to: (1) provide notice to the public
of the right to request reasonable modification; (2) respond promptly to such requests; (3) provide appropriate
auxiliary aids and services to people with disabilities to ensure effective communication; and (4) train staff to
respond to requests from the public for reasonable modification, and that requires the Mayor's Office on Disability
to provide technical assistance to City departments responding to requests from the public for reasonable
modifications.
The Board of Supervisors and Office of the Clerk of the Board support the Mayor’s Office on Disability to help
make San Francisco a city where all people enjoy equal rights, equal opportunity, and freedom from illegal
discrimination under disability rights laws.
Meetings are real-time captioned and are cablecast open-captioned on SFGovTV, the Government Channel 26.
Board and Committee meeting agendas and minutes are available on the Board’s website (www.sfbos.org) and
adhere to web development guidelines based upon the Federal Access Board’s Section 508 Guidelines. To request
