OCII approves minutes, FY2023–24 budget, CFD levies and a salary tie update; all motions passed unanimously

The Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure took several formal votes April 18, adopting procedural and budgetary items and a personnel tie update.

The commission approved the minutes for the prior meeting; roll-call votes were recorded as 4 ayes (Commissioner Drew, Commissioner Scott, Vice Chair Alex Ludlam, Chair Brackett). No abstentions or no votes were recorded.

On the agency budget (resolution 11-2023), Mina Yoo, finance and project manager, presented a FY2023–24 action budget sized at approximately $717.4 million after a 5% property-tax-support reduction and other adjustments. The presentation noted $5.8 million in discretionary funds, 55 full-time-equivalent positions (36 filled) and planned bond issuance activity, including a proposed $129 million new-money bond issuance for infrastructure and affordable housing. After commissioner discussion and requests for clearer budget-to-actual reporting, the commission approved the budget by roll call (4 ayes).

The commission next approved budgets and levies for Community Facility Districts administered by the successor agency (resolution 12-2023), covering CFDs in project areas including South Beach/Rincon, Mission Bay and Hunters Point Shipyard/Candlestick Point; total CFD budgets presented were approximately $44.9 million with an estimated $20 million funded by special tax levy. The motion carried with a recorded vote of 4 ayes.

Finally, the commission approved an amendment to the salary-tie resolution to change the unrepresented executive assistant position to city job code 9-22 (Manager 1) to reflect added duties including records modernization; staff estimated the change would increase the step-5 biweekly maximum to $55,999. That motion also passed on a 4–0 roll-call vote.

All recorded votes were unanimous among the four commissioners present; no member voted against or abstained.
