Summary
The subcommittee approved a set of grant acceptances, lease and financing items and continued one major advertising contract; the committee also filed the housing-ladder/eviction hearing for the Board’s May 13 agenda.
San Francisco — At its May 7, 2014 meeting the Board of Supervisors Budget & Finance Subcommittee took actions on a range of administrative and budget items while continuing one item for further review.
Key outcomes
- Items 1 & 2 (housing-ladder and eviction hearings): Motion to file the items and forward them to the full Board for consideration; the motion was taken without objection.
- Item 3 (SFMTA transit advertising contract with Titan Outdoor LLC): Continued for one week at the sponsor’s request to allow further review and amendments.
- Item 4 (SFMTA–BART FastPass agreement): Committee accepted budget-analyst suggestions (including a recommended six‑year reimbursable cap) and approved the fast-pass resolution for Board consideration.
- Item 5 (AutoReturn towing/storage license amendment): Approved amendments (retroactivity to 05/01/2013–07/31/2015, bond and rent-credit adjustments) to the AutoReturn agreement.
- Item 6 (OEWD / SBDC grant): Approved acceptance of a $150,000 grant to host the San Francisco Small Business Development Center and to add grant-funded staff to OEWD.
- Item 7 (Recreation & Parks grant): Approved acceptance of a $130,679 Habitat Conservation Fund grant to build the Creeks-to-Peaks Connector trails project (includes a deed restriction for improved areas).
- Item 8 (1500 Page Street transfer/lease for supportive housing): Approved MOHCD’s transfer/option to ground-lease to enable Mercy Housing and ARC to develop 17 units for developmentally disabled residents; the committee accepted budget-analyst requests for a report-back on financing contingencies during the June budget process and accepted sponsor clerk amendments.
- Item 9 (Adult Probation grant): Approved retroactive acceptance and expansion of a $100,000 grant (California Emergency Management Agency / VAWA) to fund a specialized probation supervision caseload in the Bayview.
- Item 10 (SFO lease with Federal Express): Approved a five-year minimum-rent lease with Federal Express Corporation for office/warehouse and ramp space at SFO (minimum rent approximately $6.8M over the term).
What this means
Most items were procedural acceptances or financing/contract authorizations that the departments said were necessary to receive or continue grant funding and vendor relationships; Item 3 (transit advertising) was continued so the sponsor can return with amendments. The filing of Items 1 & 2 formally moves the housing-ladder/eviction review to the full Board agenda for further action.
