Committee forwards a slate of administrative code changes, grant acceptances and a clinic lease to full Board

The Budget and Finance Committee on April 6 forwarded several administrative, grant and real‑estate items to the full Board, most without substantive debate.

Administrative code: The committee voted to forward an ordinance to delete the trial courts courthouse construction fund from the administrative code. Carol Lou of the Controller’s Office said the fund became inactive after the city made its last debt service payment in April 2021 and that state law requires termination; there was no financial impact, the office said.

San Francisco Community Investment Fund: The committee accepted a clerical date edit and forwarded an amended and restated cooperative agreement to support SF Community Investment Fund’s administration of New Markets Tax Credit projects. The resolution adjusts the city staff cost reimbursed by SF SIF to an annual cap of $350,000 and sets the initial term to begin July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 with possible extensions through 2032.

Public health grants: The committee approved several DPH grant actions and amendments, all forwarded with positive recommendation. They included retroactive acceptances for a Substance Use Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (about $8.1 million for 07/01/2021–06/30/2025), a Crisis Care Mobile Units infrastructure grant (about $1,977,500, retroactive to 09/15/2021) to expand mobile crisis capacity and upgrades, and a $100,000 Hellman Foundation supplemental grant to support Food as Medicine clinic‑based food pharmacies. DPH staff described program uses including phone‑system upgrades, vehicles, translation and continuous quality improvement and noted coordination with other city street‑response teams.

Lease for Mission Mental Health Clinic: The committee forwarded a resolution authorizing DPH to lease 2712 Mission Street for a 10‑year term at a base rent of approximately $795,000 per year (with annual CPI increases), a five‑year option to extend and a right of first offer to purchase. City real‑estate staff said the lease will move from a full‑service to a triple‑net arrangement at the landlord’s request and that the change was negotiated with a rent reduction to about $24.85 per square foot; the Budget Analyst estimated total rent and operating costs for the 10‑year term at $12.3–13.2 million and recommended approval.

Votes at a glance: Each item in this roundup was forwarded to the full Board with a positive recommendation by roll call vote (3–0).

What’s next: These items will be scheduled for the full Board, generally on the April 12 agenda unless otherwise noted.
