The San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission on Monday approved its final fiscal year 2022–23 budget and work plan, voting unanimously to adopt a $550,567 package and to request the statutory $341,240 contribution from the City and County of San Francisco.
Jeremy Pollock, LAFCO’s executive officer, presented the budget and work plan to the commission, saying the proposed total is down from last year largely because funding for a reinvestment working-group consultant did not continue. Pollock summarized the plan’s priorities as Clean Power SF, public banking and continued work on gig-economy issues.
Pollock said the budget before the commission was roughly $553,000 and that the general‑fund request was unchanged from the prior year; the clerk read the formal motion into the record as $550,567 total and a statutory request of $341,240. Vice Chair Jackie Felder moved the measure, Commissioner Gordon Marr seconded, and the commission recorded five ayes.
Commissioners framed the approval as a continuity step that allows LAFCO to meet the June 15 state deadline for submitting its work plan and funding request. Chair Connie Chan and commissioners thanked staff, the clerk’s office and the reinvestment working group for preparing materials and outreach work connected to the budget.
The commission also noted that the approved work plan continues LAFCO’s focus on the reinvestment working group’s public‑bank feasibility effort and on engagement related to Clean Power SF. With the budget adopted, staff will implement the listed priorities and report progress to the commission at future meetings.
The vote concluded a brief public comment period with no callers; the clerk recorded the motion’s approval as unanimous.
What’s next: LAFCO staff will proceed under the approved work plan and return for routine updates; the commission also plans to advertise and fill an open public seat on LAFCO as outlined in the executive officer’s report.
