Budget & Finance Committee advances a package of grants and contract actions to full Board
Summary
The committee advanced a set of items — including SFO Terminal 1 contract extension, San Francisco Public Library’s $13.21M state grant, a $120,000 Bridge Navigator award, SFPUC arrearage funds and two OEWD workforce grants — mostly with positive recommendations and brief Q&A on implementation and timelines.
At its April 12 meeting the Budget and Finance Committee moved several additional items to the full Board with positive recommendations or routine forwarding: (1) modification #18 to an SFO professional services contract with T1 Partners to extend term through July 31, 2025 (no increase in the previously approved $38,000,000 cap); (2) acceptance and expenditure of $13,210,129 from the California State Library Building Forward program to support Mission and Chinatown branch renovations (50% payment timing and local match from the Library Preservation Fund were noted); (3) acceptance and expansion of a $120,000 grant from the California Department of Health Care Services (Bridge Navigator program) to support substance‑use navigation at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital; (4) retroactive acceptance/authorization to expend California arrearage payment program funds (about $1.2M for Hetch Hetchy power and CleanPowerSF allocations) to credit eligible residential accounts; and (5) two OEWD retroactive grants — a $150,000 UCSF CCOP (CityBuild partnership) award and a $350,000 Regional Equity and Recovery Partnerships grant to support City College cybersecurity students and related workforce services.
Presenters provided timelines and intended uses for each award: SFO staff confirmed Terminal 1 completion aligns with the extension through July 2025; SF Public Library staff described match requirements and project timelines (Mission April 2025; Chinatown May 2026); DPH and Zuckerberg San Francisco General summarized the Bridge Navigator role and contractor model for ER‑based substance‑use navigation; SFPUC explained timing pressures led to retroactive disbursement to meet state deadlines; and OEWD described placements and capacity building through partner community colleges. The committee recommended approval for these items and will forward them to the full Board.
