Board passes consent measures, grants and leases including $14M Jobs First grant; multiple resolutions adopted
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved a consent calendar that included grant acceptances, contract amendments, ground leases and resolutions responding to civil grand jury reports. Notable items included a $14 million California Jobs First grant to OEWD and a contract increase to extend a workforce/restroom program.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Oct. 1 approved a broad consent calendar and several individual items that the board described as routine. The consent votes included multiple grant acceptances, contract amendments and real-estate actions.
Key outcomes at a glance
- California Jobs First grant: The board passed an ordinance authorizing the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) to accept and expend a $14,000,000 grant from the California Economic Development Department for the California Jobs First catalyst program (grant period 05/01/2024–09/30/2026). (Item 7, passed on first reading.)
- Hunters Point Family contract: The board adopted a resolution approving the sixth amendment to a contract with Hunters Point Family to extend the term nine months (through 06/30/2025) and increase the contract by $7,000,000 for a new total of $16,200,000 to support workforce development and pit stop restroom programs. (Item 11.)
- Health research grants: The board adopted three grant increases and accept-and-expend resolutions for public-health research projects funded by National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Items 8–10). Amounts and program descriptions were read into the record by staff.
- Ground leases and affordable housing actions: The board approved several items to advance affordable-housing and community-serving leases, including a 70-year commercial ground lease at 725 Davis Street for community-serving retail uses, a ground lease at 42 Otis Street to 5 Keys for permanent supportive housing, and MOHCD’s acquisition/loan package for a 35-unit affordable housing project at Mission Street (Items 13–15). (Terms and rents were described in the ordinance texts.)
- Civil grand jury responses: The board adopted resolutions responding to four civil grand jury reports covering flood management, city commissions, infrastructure and budget transparency (Items 16–19).
Process notes
Most consent items were adopted by “same house, same call” voice vote after the clerk called roll. Several ordinances were passed on first reading where noted. Supervisors thanked community partners and city staff for work on several items; no contested roll-call defeats were recorded on the consent items presented for adoption.
What this means
The passed measures move multiple city programs forward: a major state workforce grant to OEWD, extensions and increased funding for a workforce/restroom contractor at Hunters Point, and several property and financing steps intended to preserve and develop affordable housing and community cultural space. The actions also formalize the city’s written responses to civil grand jury recommendations and authorize several public-health research grants.
Provenance: These matters were introduced and adopted during the consent and roll-call sequences of the Oct. 1 meeting.
