Budget subcommittee forwards nine routine grant, finance and program items to the full Board
Summary
The committee voted to send a group of routine acceptances, grants and financing items (items 1–5 and 9) to the Board of Supervisors, including a $3,883.76 egg inspection grant, a $40,615 reentry grant, $493,000 for Bodecker Park, and equipment lease and COP-related documents.
The Budget & Finance Subcommittee quickly handled a set of routine finance, grant and program items and forwarded them to the full Board of Supervisors.
Item 1: The committee approved forwarding a resolution authorizing the Department of Public Health to retroactively accept $3,883.76 from the California Department of Food and Agriculture for an Egg Quality Control Program. Miguel Munroy, Agricultural Commissioner, said the money would fund about 200 egg inspections (116 wholesale, 82 retail) using an "egg candler." Public comment included Douglas Yip in favor.
Item 2: A resolution allowing the Adult Probation Department (Reentry Council) to accept and expend approximately $40,615 from the Institute for Local Government (subaward from the Rosenberg Foundation) to continue reentry council network activities was forwarded. Jessica Flintoff described monthly calls, convenings and a website established with prior funding.
Item 3: Recreation & Parks will be authorized to accept a $493,000 urban greening grant for Bodecker Park; staff said the total renovation estimate is about $5.8 million and the grant contributes to reclamation and renovation work.
Item 4: The committee forwarded an official statement for Certificates of Participation (COPs) related to capital improvements. Anthony Ababan (Controller's Office) said the plan is to refund commercial paper and issue COPs for an amount not to exceed $48 million authorized in 2010, of which $38 million would finance street and ADA projects.
Item 5: The committee forwarded authorization for an equipment lease supplement and issuance of lease revenue bonds (not-to-exceed ~$10.5 million) to fund equipment purchases across multiple departments; staff said most purchases are replacement vehicles and equipment already approved in the FY11/12 budget.
Item 9: The committee forwarded a resolution designating agencies eligible to participate in the 2012 annual joint fundraising drive for city officers and employees; the City Administrator's office reported six federated agencies meet code criteria.
Each item was moved forward to the full Board of Supervisors, generally without objection.
