The Budget and Finance Committee, chaired by Supervisor Connie Chan, met on June 3, 2026 to consider several items including grant agreements, contract amendments, and lease approvals. The meeting lasted from approximately 10:00 AM to conclusion. Notable discussion centered on a retroactive grant amendment for community economic recovery hubs, with the committee voting to send that item to the full board without recommendation due to concerns about oversight and data integrity. All other items were approved with recommendation to the full board.

And finally, items acted upon today are expected to appear on the board of supervisors' agenda of June 9th, unless otherwise stated. Madam Chair. Thank you, Mr. Clerk. And before we call item number one, I would like to just remind the public that we have budget and legislative analyst reports for items two, three, eight, eleven, twelve on today's agenda. And for those items, we will have the department presentation first, followed by the budget and legislative analyst. Then we will take questions and public comments. So with that, Mr. Clark, please call item number one. Yes, item number one is an ordinance. Waiving the competitive solicitation requirement under the administrative code and authorizing the director of public works to retroactively enter into an agreement with the transgender district in the amount of 24.5 thousand for the purposes of printing and installing placemaking banners in the transgender district in the southeastern tenderloin and along sixth street south of market. Madam Chair. Thank you and colleagues. Uh this item was continued from last week because we were anticipating a grant agreement, but as it turns a copy of the grant agreement, but as it turns out, it seems like we're waived because of the waiving of the competitive bidding for this project that we no longer uh we needed to have a grant agreement, and the issue has been resolved with city attorney's office. And so with that, let's go to public comment on this item. Yes, we're opening public comment for this item number one. If we have any members of the public who wish to address this committee, madam chair, we have no speakers. Seeing no public comments, public comment is now closed. Uh colleagues, I would like to move this item to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please. And on that motion to refer to the full board with recommendation, Vice Chair Dorsey. Aye. Dorsey, aye. Member Sauter. Sauter, aye. Chair Chan. Aye. Chan, aye. We have three ayes. The motion passes.
