SFHSS board approves two‑year budgets and adopts 2020 board self‑evaluation
Summary
The San Francisco Health Service System board unanimously approved the two‑year general fund administration and sustainability fund budgets and adopted the 2020 board education and self‑evaluation reports, urging follow‑up on fiduciary training and strategic plan tracking.
The San Francisco Health Service System board on Feb. 11 approved several routine governance and budget items before taking up medical plan recommendations. The board approved the proposed general fund administration budget for fiscal years 2021–22 and 2022–23 and a two‑year sustainability fund budget after finance committee review. Both motions were moved, seconded and passed by unanimous voice vote.
Commissioner Karen Bresson (identified in meeting materials as chair of the finance and budget committee) noted the committee had met to review the proposals. Commissioner Mary Howe moved to accept the general fund budget and Commissioner Chris Canning seconded. For the sustainability fund budget, Commissioner Larry Lew made the motion and Commissioner Randy Scott seconded; commissioners voiced support and the items passed unanimously.
In governance business, Commissioner Randy Scott presented the governance committee’s 2020 Health Service Board education report and the committee’s recommendations for 2021 priorities, including mental‑health stigma, culturally competent care, opioid treatment and pharmacy cost transparency. The board also received a presentation on the 2020 annual board self‑evaluation, which staff said achieved a 100% board completion rate via the Microsoft survey platform.
Recommendations from the self‑evaluation included offering annual fiduciary‑responsibility review by counsel, clarifying the board’s role in future RFPs and integrating regular strategic‑plan updates and agenda notations. Commissioner Zvonsky moved to adopt the self‑evaluation report; the motion carried unanimously with a commendation for Board Secretary Pauline Lopez, who led the administrative work on the evaluation.
Staff said the governance recommendations will inform training and board planning for 2021, and the finance committee matters concluded before the meeting moved to the RFP presentation.
