Committee forwards multiple contract amendments and interim budgets; participatory budgeting transfer advanced

San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee · June 8, 2016

Summary

The committee approved forwarding a package of technology contract amendments, the District 7 participatory budgeting de‑appropriation, the special tax district accessibility change, and interim budget ordinances to the full Board with positive recommendations or continuation to further hearings.

At a single action the committee moved a number of items to the full Board or to subsequent hearings. Notable outcomes included:

- Item 1 (20 Fifth & Connecticut ground lease): forwarded to full Board with positive recommendation (see separate article). - Item 2 (amendment to Special Tax District 2009‑1 for accessibility financing): forwarded with a positive recommendation. - Item 3 (de‑appropriation of $300,000 to implement District 7 participatory budgeting projects): forwarded with a positive recommendation; public comment urged better project follow‑up and accountability to ensure awarded funds are spent on the intended projects. - Items 5–12 (technology marketplace contract amendments and new Tier 1B contracts): committee approved forwarding eight resolutions related to contract cap increases and new contracts; OCA staff and controller's office reported large cumulative contract caps and projected expenditures. - Items 14–17 (interim budgets and related ordinances): controller and audit staff recommended approval with an amendment to section 31 affecting item 16; the committee accepted the amendment and moved items 14–17 to the full Board with a positive recommendation.

Motions on these items were generally taken "without objection," and where technical amendments were proposed they were scheduled for further committee work or Rules Committee review.
