Budget committee forwards several mayoral budget items, advances grants and public‑health ordinances
Summary
The committee moved multiple budget and grant measures to the full Board of Supervisors with positive recommendations, forwarded public‑health legislation including a Planned Parenthood security grant, and approved Rec & Park and HSH items after amendment; several items were continued for more review.
The Budget & Appropriations Committee on June 13 advanced a series of the mayor’s budget and trailing items while continuing others for further review.
After department presentations and public comment, the committee forwarded Rec & Park resolutions authorizing two grants (items 4 and 5) to the full board with a positive recommendation and continued item 6 (a USDA reforestation/workforce contract) to the call of the chair. The clerk recorded a roll call with four ayes and Supervisor Peskin absent.
Department of Public Health presented its proposed budget and four legislative items (items 7–10), including annual grant consolidations, patient‑rate adjustments, and a one‑time security grant to Planned Parenthood Northern California. The Budget Legislative Analyst recommended approval of the Planned Parenthood grant waiver (item 8), and the committee moved items 7–10 to the July 9 full board with a positive recommendation.
The Department of Homelessness & Supportive Housing (HSH) asked to reallocate up to $13.676 million of interest earned on the Our City Our Home (Prop C) fund for family shelter and housing as part of its “Safer Families” package and to approve its FY24–26 expenditure plan (item 12). The committee approved a minor nonsubstantive numeric correction to item 11 and forwarded both HSH items to the full board after an amendment and roll‑call vote.
The committee recorded and tallied votes in public session for each motion. Clerk Brent Khalipa read the motions and roll calls on the record; where votes were taken the committee noted members present and Peskin’s absence in several roll calls.
Several departments emphasized service impacts if proposed reductions are adopted in later budget steps: DPH described a proposed 5% CBO contract reduction in year two and smaller program shifts that could affect outreach and community grants; Rec & Park described reductions and position deletions to realize midyear savings; OEWD described about $21.1M in reductions spread across divisions with workforce and economic development shares; and HSH described the one‑time use of fund interest to expand family subsidies and shelter services.
The committee’s actions move the mayor’s proposals and related items to the full board for final votes, while continuing selected items for more technical and community work.
