Board hears Measure A implementation update and asks for off‑agenda detail on projects at risk
Summary
Supervisors received a staff report on Measure A affordable housing implementation, approved staff recommendations for reallocation authority and asked for an off‑agenda briefing listing projects that may be at risk or candidates for reallocation.
The Board of Supervisors received a staff report on implementing the 2016 Measure A affordable housing bond and approved staff recommendations on allocations and reappropriation issues on June 17.
Staff told the board there are projects in varying stages of development and that some adjustments will be needed to ensure the most shovel‑ready and feasible proposals proceed. Supervisors requested more granular information about projects that could be subject to funding reallocation and asked staff to provide an off‑agenda report listing projects currently under consideration for revocation or reshuffling of Measure A commitments.
Why it matters: Measure A provides a major local funding source for affordable housing production. Managers said modest reallocation among pipeline projects may be necessary to preserve momentum and to direct scarce funds to projects most likely to complete.
Board action
Supervisors voted to receive the report, authorize the recommended actions and directed staff to return off‑agenda with a list of projects that meet the criteria for potential reallocation; staff said it will engage the affected developers before making formal changes.
Ending
Supervisors asked for a future off‑agenda package detailing the specific projects that staff considers for reallocation and for a status report on shovel‑ready candidates.
