Votes at a glance: Budget & Finance Committee advances grants, contracts and an ordinance (May 25, 2022)
Summary
The Budget & Finance Committee forwarded a series of resolutions and one ordinance — including grant acceptances (HUD programs, CDC, ARPA funds), contract amendments (SFO medical clinic) and an ordinance directing HSH to pursue 20 transitional units in Haight Ashbury — to the full Board with positive recommendations.
What the committee forwarded to the full Board with positive recommendations on May 25, 2022:
- Item 1 (as amended): Community Forward SF Inc. contract amendment (one-year term, $13.1M) — moved to full Board. - Item 2: DPH CDC BRACE grant increase (retroactive accept-and-expend, ~$86,000 addition) — forwarded. - Item 3: DPH gift from Epic Systems ($115,000; retroactive acceptance) — forwarded after discussion of behested-payment policy. - Item 4: Airport medical clinic contract amendment with Dignity Health (exercise option, extend through 06/30/2024, increase to $11M) — forwarded. - Items 5–6: SFPUC contract amendment for Mountain Tunnel (increase to $28.78M) and ARPA-funded arrearage programs — forwarded. - Items 7–11: HUD formula allocations and HOME-ARP (~$18.7M), HOPWA, CDBG, HOME and ESG formula acceptances/amendments — forwarded as amended; Brian Chu identified project uses and first HOME-ARP project (71 Boardman) for predevelopment/gap funding. - Items 12–15: Multiple HSH contracts and grants for supportive-housing property management, master leases, flexible subsidy pool and senior nutrition (TIDES/DISH, Tenderloin Housing Clinic, Brilliant Corners, Self Help for the Elderly) — forwarded with BLA recommendations for monitoring and updated budgets. - Item 16: Ordinance requiring the acquisition of at least 20 units for transitional-age youth in the Haight Ashbury by 03/31/2023; committee forwarded with positive recommendation after discussion about funding sources and acquisition policy.
Votes: Most items were forwarded with unanimous committee recommendations (recorded as three ayes and a vice chair absent on several roll calls). Several items included technical amendments to amounts and terms as described on the record.
Why this matters: The package moves dozens of millions in contract authority and federal/state funds toward housing, health and senior services and establishes a local directive on youth transitional housing acquisition. The committee repeatedly asked departments for updated grant budgets and monitoring reports before final Board consideration.
