Budget and Finance Subcommittee forwards 13 items to full Board, including airport contract and housing lease amendments
Summary
The subcommittee forwarded 13 items — including a nine-year SFO Tech equipment agreement, a master-lease amendment for 16 hotels, and bond and contract amendments for housing, fuel and refuse services — to the full Board of Supervisors, mostly without objection.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Subcommittee on July 2012 advanced 13 items to the full Board, moving a mix of grant acceptances, contract amendments and financing requests toward final consideration.
Most items were forwarded without objection. The package included a resolution approving a nine-year international terminal equipment maintenance and operating agreement with San Francisco Terminal Equipment Company (SFO Tech) that continues the airlines’ consortium arrangement for maintenance and joint IT and gate usage; SFO Tech paid roughly $1.8 million to the airport in fiscal 2011–12 while the airport’s share was about $1.6 million, the airport representative reported. The airport and the budget analyst sought two technical amendments: retroactive approval to July 1, 2012, and a not-to-exceed aggregate amount for the contract term.
The committee also moved forward grant acceptances for public health and energy programs, including a $1,000,000 ARRA/California Energy Commission grant for Green Finance SF (PACE) to seed a debt-service reserve aimed at expanding retrofit financing, and federal grants to support HIV prevention and integrated screening efforts.
Housing and redevelopment matters on the agenda included authority to issue mortgage revenue indebtedness for rehabilitation of a 101-unit affordable development in Bayview and an amendment to include the Mayfair Hotel in the city’s master-lease portfolio of hotels operated with Tenderloin Housing Clinic. Committee members questioned the retroactive timing of the Mayfair Hotel modification and asked for clearer reporting on administrative and budget implications before the full Board considers the items.
Procurement and public-works items were also advanced: the Treasure Island Development Authority sought additional environmental oversight funds for Navy remediation work and asked to extend refuse-collection agreements at Treasure Island; the city’s contract administrator requested an increase in the citywide refuse contract cap with Recology to cover FY12–13 services (Recology agreed to waive a current-year cost-of-living increase estimated to save about $150,000). The Office of Contract Administration also asked to increase the city fuel cap to $107.5 million for gasoline, diesel and biodiesel while planning a rebid; the budget analyst accepted updated invoice data justifying the requested ceiling.
A technical ordinance exempting small, volunteer-run parking events on San Francisco Unified School District property from parking taxes (subject to limits and a sunset provision) was also forwarded. Several items were sent forward without recommendation so the full Board can review administrative details.
Next steps: all forwarded items will be placed on the Board of Supervisors agenda for formal consideration on the date noted by the clerk.
