Budget committee advances leases, grant acceptances and wage fixes in consent items
Summary
Alongside the EM hearing, the Budget & Finance Committee recommended approval of several routine but consequential items including the Prop L hiring intent, a Treasure Island lease amendment, prevailing wage updates, grant acceptances, an Andre Boudin lease and an amended behavioral-health contract.
After the extended electronic monitoring discussion the committee moved through its consent and action calendar and recommended several items to the full Board.
Key outcomes (committee recommendations):
- Item 3: A nonbinding resolution indicating the Board—ndorses using future Prop L overpaid executive tax revenue to hire health care and other essential workers (recommended to full Board by roll call vote).
- Item 4: Amendment to the Treasure Island Master Lease extending the term by one year for three structures and the perimeter pathway; the Port reported no further cleanup required for the three buildings and recommended approval to the full board.
- Item 5: Annual prevailing wage rates package for covered classifications (construction and city-specific nonconstruction classifications); BLA recommended approval and the committee recommended it to the full board.
- Items 6, 8, 11, 13: The committee authorized accepting several federal/state grants including a Homeland Security targeted violence prevention grant ($830,242) administered regionally; FEMA hazard mitigation funds for Castro Mission Health Center seismic upgrades (~$1.6M eligible FEMA share); a pedestrian and bicycle safety program grant ($100,000); and a grant to buy a thermal-imaging camera system for the SFPD marine unit (no city General Fund required).
- Item 7: Port lease with Andre Boudin Bakeries for the chowder hut at Fisherman's Wharf (10-year lease with a five-year option), with rent and proposed outdoor atrium improvements; BLA recommended approval.
- Item 12: Behavioral Health Services amendment to increase and extend the High Street Community Services agreement; the BLA suggested a technical reduction to align the resolution with the department budget and the department accepted the amendment.
All the above items were recommended to the full Board by roll call; votes in each roll call were unanimous among the committee members present (Supervisors Walton, Mandelmann and Chair Feuer). Chair Feuer said the day's wide-ranging discussion had produced "some consensus" and thanked departments for their cooperation as the meeting concluded.
