At-a-glance: Health Commission approvals — minutes, syringe contract, gift-card policy, foundation lease
Summary
The Health Commission approved the meeting minutes, a $916,907 syringe cleanup contract, a DPH gift-card procurement policy, and a one-year lease for the San Francisco General Foundation; all votes were taken by voice and recorded as approved.
The Health Commission took a series of routine approvals during its meeting.
- Minutes: The commission approved the minutes for the meeting dated 05/01/2018 by voice vote after a motion and second.
- Syringe cleanup contract: The commission approved a contract with the San Francisco AIDS Foundation for $916,907 to fund a syringe cleanup program that will hire 10 staff and operate a branded van; the Community Public Health Committee had recommended approval.
- Gift-card policy: The commission approved a DPH policy governing procurement and use of gift cards as patient incentives; the policy restricts eligibility to patients and clients (excludes employees and contractors), requires CFO approval for purchases, caps individual card value at $50, and limits distribution to one month at a time while allowing 12 months of purchase supply.
- San Francisco General Foundation lease: The commission approved a one-year lease for about 2,300 square feet at 2789 Fifth Street for the San Francisco General Foundation to permit renovations and contractor procurement; staff said longer-term lease terms will be returned for approval in a few months and the short lease can be extended month to month if needed.
All four items were approved by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript; the meeting adjourned with a motion to adjourn in memory of Dr. Richard Doldek that passed by voice vote.
