Budget and Finance Committee forwards package of grants, lease and contract items to full Board
Summary
The committee advanced multiple grants and contract items to the full Board with positive recommendation, including homelessness services funding, tobacco enforcement and beach-safety grants, a Treasure Island lease extension and authorization for the Department of the Environment to apply for CalRecycle grants.
The Budget and Finance Committee on the special meeting agenda voted to forward several grant acceptances, a lease extension and other items to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.
Vice Chair Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer opened the meeting and, after presentations, the committee approved forwarding the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing's application to the state California Emergency Solutions and Housing Program; the Department of Public Health's Proposition 56 Tobacco Law Enforcement Grant; a $30,000 Public Beach Safety Grant; Amendment No. 43 to the Treasure Island master lease with the U.S. Navy; and a resolution allowing the Department of the Environment to apply for CalRecycle grants. All motions were made in committee and taken "without objection," moving each item to the October 16 Board agenda unless otherwise indicated.
Emily Cohen of the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing said the statewide CESH program totals about $5.3 million and San Francisco expected to receive roughly $1.6 million in the first funding round; Cohen said the city proposes allocating about $1.5 million to supportive-services for scattered-site supportive housing, $50,000 for coordinated-entry work and the remainder for administrative costs.
Jennifer (transcribed as Kallawart/Callawart) of the Department of Public Health described roughly $1.7 million in Proposition 56 grant funding to expand enforcement and outreach, including up to 400 business visits per year and expanded under-21 decoy operations to check for illegal sales. Julie June Weintraub of DPH described an annual $30,000 beach-safety grant used for water-quality monitoring.
Peter Somerville of the Treasure Island Development Authority asked the committee to approve a one-year extension of the master lease with the U.S. Navy. Charles Sheehan of the Department of the Environment asked the committee to renew authority for the department to apply for CalRecycle grants; he noted a pending mobile pilot recycling application that needs an updated resolution.
All of these items were moved to the Board of Supervisors with positive recommendation and no recorded objections in committee. The Board will be scheduled to consider committee actions at its October 16 agenda unless noted otherwise.
