Committee Advances Multiple Consent Items Including Rec & Park Grant and Water Easement Purchases
Summary
The committee forwarded several items with positive recommendations: Recreation & Parks to accept a $2.6M state housing-related parks grant for 11 projects and SFPUC easements purchase (~$78,185) for a regional groundwater project; both items advanced without public comment.
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Budget and Finance Committee recommended that the Board of Supervisors consider several routine items together. Toni Moran (Recreation & Parks) asked the committee to retroactively accept and expend approximately $2.6 million in Housing-Related Parks Grant funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Moran said the grant funds will support 11 park and community center projects (including Seventeenth and Folsom Park, Balboa Pool, Geneva Community Garden and Hilltop Park in Bayview Hunters Point) and that staff requested authority for the Recreation and Parks General Manager to reallocate funds among approved projects to close funding gaps and maximize bonus funds for disadvantaged or park-deficient census blocks.
The committee also approved forwarding a resolution approving acquisition of four easements for approximately $78,185 for the SFPUC regional groundwater storage and recovery project; SFPUC staff said the wells will serve the Peninsula and connect to Daly City, San Bruno and California Water Service Company. Budget Analyst Mr. Rose reviewed appraisals and negotiating adjustments for the easement purchase.
Both items drew limited questioning on criteria and valuations and were sent to the full board with positive recommendations.
