Supervisors hear BLA report, public urges baselining cost-of-doing-business and fuller funding for nonprofit wages
Summary
The Budget & Appropriations Committee reviewed a Budget and Legislative Analyst report on nonprofit contractor sustainability and pay equity, discussed making cost-of-doing-business (CODB) support more predictable, and heard widespread public comment urging baseline 3% CODB increases and full funding of the Minimum Compensation Ordinance (MCO).
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ Budget and Appropriations Committee on April 28 received a Budget and Legislative Analyst (BLA) report that outlines gaps in city funding for nonprofit contractors and recommended steps to improve predictability and data on nonprofit wages.
The report, presented by Dan Goncher of the BLA, reviewed the history of the city’s Minimum Compensation Ordinance (MCO) and the city’s recent allocations to help nonprofits comply. Goncher said the current nonprofit MCO rate is $17.05 an hour and recapped the 2019 Comptroller-led application process that allocated $6.6 million to nonprofits, of which about $2.76 million supported direct wage increases and $3.8 million addressed wage compaction. He said the BLA’s two key recommendations are that the Board ask the Mayor’s Budget Office and the Comptroller to explore regularly setting a CODB funding level (including anticipated MCO needs) and to ask the Comptroller to lead a periodic (every 3–5 years) survey of nonprofit contracting partners to gather workforce and funding-source data.
