Committee corrects IHSS public authority contract amount and extends term
Summary
The committee approved an amendment correcting the IHSS Public Authority contract total to $419,187,910 and extended the term to cover health and dental benefits after officials described rising caseloads driving higher costs; public comment was not taken on this item and the committee forwarded it with a recommendation.
The Budget and Finance Committee amended and approved a resolution adjusting the authorized amount for the San Francisco IHSS Public Authority contract to $419,187,910 (a correction of $129,639 from the posted total) and extended the contract term to continue administering health and dental benefits for IHSS independent providers.
Department presenters explained that Welfare & Institutions Code mandates counties provide IHSS services and that San Francisco serves roughly 22,000 recipients through independent providers and contracted consortiums; the department noted an aging population and rising caseloads (from 16,902 in FY 2006 to projections above 23,000 in later years) as primary cost drivers. The budget analyst confirmed a carry-forward error in the Agenda and recommended the correction.
The committee accepted the amendment and moved the item forward with recommendation without public speakers on that item.
What happens next: the corrected resolution will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda for final approval.
