The Government Audit and Oversight Committee on July 7 voted to send several items to the full Board with positive recommendations. Key committee actions and votes are listed below.
• Audits (Item 4): The committee directed the Budget & Legislative Analyst to perform two FY22–23 audits — a multi‑department review of street crisis response teams and an audit of the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing’s funding and planning. The BLA said it will develop workplans and begin work immediately.
• Biosolids contract (Item 5): The committee approved sending to the full Board a resolution authorizing the Office of Contract Administration to enter a biosolids management services contract (initial not‑to‑exceed $16.4 million, with options totaling $22.8 million). The PUC and contract staff explained logistics; public comment was supportive.
• Refuse services amendment (Item 6): The committee approved an amendment to extend and increase the city’s refuse collection agreement with Recology for city facilities (increase by $23,975,000 and extend through June 30, 2024) to maintain service while a new solicitation and permitting process is completed. The Office of Contract Administration has issued a solicitation for a replacement contract.
• In‑kind Internet gift (Item 7): The Department of Technology sought acceptance of $173,400 in in‑kind Internet access services from MonkeyBrains provided since March 2020 to support COVID isolation sites, testing and vaccination sites and some affordable housing units. DoT staff said the gift covered services rendered and that future such gifts will be reported promptly.
• DA pro bono legal services (Item 8): The committee authorized retroactive acceptance of up to $250,000 in pro bono legal services from the USF Racial Justice Clinic and funders to support the District Attorney’s sentencing review and wrongful‑conviction work.
All above items were approved by the committee and will move to the full Board for final action.
Vote pattern: Committee roll calls were unanimous where recorded (three ayes for each motion recorded on the public transcript).
