Budget and Finance Committee forwards 17 items including Ocean Beach design amendment, Homecare contract changes and HealthRight 360 extension

San Francisco — The San Francisco County Budget and Finance Committee on April 30, 2025 forwarded 17 items to the full Board of Supervisors, unanimously recommending approval on each. The slate included contract amendments and grant applications affecting public utilities, homelessness programs, behavioral health treatment providers and citywide IT purchasing.

The most publicly prominent items included an amendment to the Public Utilities Commission's coastal engineering contract for the Ocean Beach climate adaptation project, a request to increase engineering support for major transmission-pipeline projects, modifications to Human Services Agency grants for Homebridge in-home supportive services (IHSS), and a three-year extension and funding increase for HealthRight 360's substance use and mental health services contract.

Anna Roche, project manager for the Ocean Beach climate adaptation project at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, told the committee the work supports the city's long-term shoreline plan and compliance with coastal permitting: "This is San Francisco's first cross-agency climate adaptation project meant to protect the western Pacific Ocean side of San Francisco from sea level rise." The committee voted to forward the SFPUC amendment (Item 3) with a positive recommendation.

The committee also approved (Item 4) a $7 million amendment request to an engineering services contract for transmission-pipeline work (contract PRO168A), raising that contract's not-to-exceed amount to $14,000,000, and explained the increase as driven by condition assessments that expanded project scope and construction estimates.
