Summary

The committee forwarded a contract amendment for Office Depot, a Mills Act historic-property contract, ABAG financing for the Friends School and an SFO registered-traveler lease to the full Board; it continued two EarthLink / municipal Wi-Fi items to September.

Beyond its two headline items, the Budget & Finance Committee handled a cluster of administrative resolutions on Aug. 1 and took action as follows:

- Office Depot: The committee approved forwarding a third amendment to the city's Office Depot contract (online ordering and e-billing) to the full Board with recommendation. Purchasing staff said the contract ceiling would be raised to $10,000,000 to give purchasing time to run a competitive solicitation.

- Mills Act (1735 Franklin): Planning staff presented a Mills Act historic-property contract for the Branston House at 1735 Franklin Street with an estimated owner rehabilitation cost of about $368,000; the Landmarks Board had approved the package and the committee sent the contract to the Board with recommendation.

- ABAG financing (Friends School): The committee supported a resolution authorizing ABAG financing up to $27.1 million for renovation of San Francisco Friends School at 250 Valencia Street and forwarded the item to the Board with recommendation.

- San Francisco International Airport (registered traveler): Airport staff described a proposed lease with Verified Identity Pass for a registered-traveler program and said the proposed lease carries a minimum annual guarantee of about $528,000 and an enrollment background-check fee of approximately $75/year; the committee recommended approval and referred the item to the Board.

- Wireless / EarthLink: Two items related to a citywide wireless broadband network and a PUC license to use SF streetlight poles were discussed. EarthLink asked for more time to consider the city's proposal; the committee agreed to continue items 8 and 9 to September 2007 for further negotiation.

All of the above items were forwarded or continued with committee recommendations or by unanimous consent as recorded in the Aug. 1 proceedings.
