Supervisors continue major budget and appropriations items to July 18
Summary
The board moved to continue items 6 through 40 — the omnibus budget, salary ordinance and a package of appropriations and bond authorizations — to the July 18 meeting under Charter section 9.1B. The motion to continue was made by Supervisor Mandelmann and seconded by Supervisor Safaie and taken without objection.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to continue a package of budget and related ordinances and resolutions (items 6 through 40 on the calendar) to the July 18 meeting. The motion to continue the items was made by Supervisor Mandelmann, seconded by Supervisor Safaie, and taken without objection pursuant to Charter Section 9.1B.
Items 6 through 40 include the city's budget and appropriation ordinance and related documents. The clerk summarized the package on the record before the motion to continue. Highlights read into the record include:
- Item 6: the budget and appropriation ordinance appropriating estimated departmental receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. - Item 7: the annual salary ordinance enumerating positions in the annual budget and appropriation ordinance for fiscal years ending 06/30/2024 and 06/30/2025. - Item 14: an ordinance appropriating a total of approximately $124,000,000 of Hetch Hetchy revenue, cap-and-trade revenue and power and water revenue bonds for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. - Item 15: an ordinance to appropriate $759,000 of CleanPowerSF revenue and approximately $848,000 in California Public Utilities Commission grant funds to implement the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff and community solar programs. - Item 16: an ordinance to appropriate approximately $332,000,000 in proceeds from revenue bonds, state loans or grant funds, water revenues and water capacity fees for water capital improvements. - Item 17: an ordinance to appropriate approximately $1,100,000.0 in proceeds for wastewater capital improvements (as summarized in the clerk's readout). - Items 25-27: authorizations for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to issue revenue bonds (item 25 up to approximately $358,000,000 for water revenue bonds; item 26 up to approximately $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal for wastewater enterprise; item 27 up to approximately $41,000,000 for power revenue bonds).
Why it matters: these items together form the core of the city's fiscal plan and include multi-million- and multi-hundred-million-dollar authorizations that require final consideration and votes. The continuation to July 18 delays formal approval while keeping the items on calendar for final action after required procedural steps and any additional review.
The action on the record was procedural: supervisors approved a motion to continue the listed items to July 18. The clerk noted that the board could not vote on these items until that date pursuant to Charter section 9.1B. OEWD, public utilities and other departments will return with the items on the July 18 calendar.
