Budget and Finance Committee takes analyst recommendations, continues final budget work to late June
Summary
The committee accepted the budget analyst's reduction recommendations for the airport, port and PUC and asked departments and the controller's office for follow‑up cost analyses and implementation plans, with final budget decisions continued to late June.
The Budget and Finance Committee accepted the budget analyst—s recommendations for three departments presented today and asked departments to return with implementation plans and cost analyses ahead of final budget adoption. Chair John Avalos called for acceptance of the recommendations; the motion was made and the committee approved the analyst recommendations "without objection."
Specifically, the budget analyst (Mister Rose) listed recommended reductions: for the airport, about $2,164,311 in FY 2010‑11 and $2,618,495 in FY 2011‑12; for the Port, reductions detailed in the analyst report; and for the SFPUC recommended reductions totaling $5,070,005.83 for FY 2010‑11 and $3,809,908 for FY 2011‑12. Departments stated concurrence with the recommendations and offered to return with more detailed plans to reallocate cost savings and to further develop workforce proposals.
Supervisors asked the mayor's budget office and the controller to provide alternative models — including staffing‑mix scenarios and a comparison of jail health costs with other city health programs — to assist decision makers ahead of final votes. The committee continued the remaining budget items to the call of the chair, with a plan to address reprogramming and follow‑up in late June.
