Summary
The committee moved to forward a resolution allowing the Department of Technology to accept a six‑month in‑kind consulting gift from Google under the Civic Bridge program to help streamline housing‑pipeline data collection and reporting; no public comment was given.
The Budget and Finance Committee on Dec. 11 forwarded to the Board a resolution authorizing the Department of Technology to accept an in‑kind gift of consulting services from Google Inc. valued at $750,000 for a six‑month engagement.
Prasad, identified in the transcript as interim director of the Office of Civic Innovation, introduced the item and a presenter described the Civic Bridge program, which matches pro bono private-sector talent with city departments to tackle operational challenges. The project will deploy a Google volunteer team working with San Francisco Planning and other departments to make reporting and collection of housing data more efficient and to improve the quarterly housing pipeline report that tracks units moving through approvals.
The resolution was moved to the Board with a positive recommendation; there was no Budget Analyst Office report and no public comment recorded.
