Votes at a glance: Budget & Finance Committee (Jan. 12, 2022)
Summary
The committee voted 3–0 on multiple items to forward them to the full Board with positive recommendations; one procurement item was filed after the BLA concluded it did not meet the $10M threshold.
The Budget and Finance Committee on Jan. 12 considered items ranging from grant acceptances to contract authorizations and lease approvals. Key committee actions were:
- Item 1 — California Home Visiting grant (~$658,000; Department of Public Health): Forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0). Staff said the grant expands Nurse Family Partnership services and funds one grant‑funded public health nurse.
- Item 2 — Intervision Systems LLC contract (Juniper networking equipment; up to $40,000,000, 5 years): Forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0). OCA said the term contract model will reduce procurement time and secure discounts; BLA recommended approval.
- Item 3 — SoftNet Solutions LLC (HPE equipment; originally listed as $10,000,000): BLA reviewed historical spending and determined the contract is likely to remain below the $10,000,000 threshold (estimated ~$7,000,000), so the committee filed the item (did not forward for Board approval).
- Item 4 — Dolphin Swimming & Boating Club lease (25 years): Forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0). Rec & Park and public commenters emphasized the club’s public‑access days, volunteer management model and planned capital work.
- Item 5 — DCYF acceptance and expenditure of $10,000,000 Crankstart donation: Forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0). DCYF said funds will be split $5M per year and distributed to CBOs to expand before‑and‑after‑school capacity.
- Item 6 — TEFRA reissuance for NCIS (not to exceed $11,400,000): Forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0). Staff noted the TEFRA process included public notice and a teleconference with no comments.
- Item 7 — OEWD acceptance/expenditure of $500,000 (dislocated worker grant): Forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0). OEWD said funds will serve 100 participants in hospitality workforce reentry programs.
- Item 8 — Rent forgiveness ordinance (clerical amendment): Committee adopted a clerical amendment correcting the date range and voted 3–0 to continue the item to the call of the Chair as amended.
- Item 9 — Cash revolving fund for Permit Center (up to $7,000): Forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0).
- Items 10 & 11 — Resolutions of intention to form a special tax district (CFD) and to incur bonded indebtedness for the Potrero Power Station project: Committee adopted an amendment to set a public hearing for March 8 at 3 p.m. and forwarded both items to the full Board with a positive recommendation (3–0).
All roll‑call votes reported in committee were 3 ayes, 0 noes. Items forwarded will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda; one item was filed based on the BLA’s threshold determination.
