The Budget and Finance Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors met on June 17, 2026, at 6:15 PM UTC (11:15 AM PDT) under the chairmanship of Supervisor Connie Chan. The committee considered three items: an ordinance to raise the grant approval threshold, a resolution to formalize a pandemic-era lease amendment for a restaurant at 44 Ellis Street, and a motion to adjust the Budget and Legislative Analyst contract for cost of living. The committee took votes to amend and continue one item and to approve the others for full board consideration. Public Comments & Testimony - Amanda Freed (Treasurer's Office) spoke in support of Item 2 (grant threshold ordinance), expressing gratitude for the legislation and noting that it would reduce the administrative burden of acceptance and expenditure approvals. Discussion Items - Item 2 – Grant Approval Threshold Ordinance: President Rafael Mandelman introduced an ordinance to increase the Board of Supervisors' grant acceptance and expenditure approval threshold from $100,000 to $1 million, aligning with the federal single audit threshold. He noted that the current $100,000 threshold has not been adjusted since 2012 and that grants make up 18–23% of annual city revenues. Between 2018 and 2025, approximately 54% of board-reviewed grants would have fallen below the new threshold, thereby reducing administrative burden. The Budget and Legislative Analyst (Nick Winard) reported that 45% of grants reviewed between January 2025 and April 2026 were under $1 million, representing only 2% of total grant revenues, and that the change would reduce board review time by a couple weeks but also reduce board oversight. President Mandelman proposed two amendments: (1) for grant increases, require board review if the increase exceeds $200,000 (to catch large dollar increases on big grants that would otherwise bypass review under a 110% threshold); (2) allow the City Attorney to accept pro bono legal services without board approval, as such services are typically privileged and cannot be disclosed during active litigation. Deputy City Attorney Brad Russian explained that pro bono legal services are often confidential and must be disclosed after litigation, making prior board approval impractical. Chair Chan expressed support but requested that the City Attorney provide an annual projection of pro bono services. The committee voted to adopt the amendments and continue the amended ordinance to the July 8, 2026 meeting. - Item 1 – Lease Amendment for TADS Inc. at 44 Ellis Street: SFMTA Real Estate Manager Kazia Tang presented a resolution to formalize a pandemic-era lease amendment for a restaurant tenant. The lease, originally signed in 2019, switched from fixed rent to 8% of gross revenues retroactive to January 1, 2021, and included rent relief for 2020. The amended lease runs through April 30, 2029, with two five-year options. Annual rent is projected at $241,281 (44.95 cents/sq ft), exceeding the fair market value of 43.3 cents/sq ft. The BLA recommended approval and suggested adding retroactive language. Supervisor Sauter moved to amend the resolution to include retroactive language and send it to the full board with a recommendation. The motion passed unanimously. - Item 3 – Cost of Living Adjustment for BLA Contract: Dr. Edward Deasis, CFO for the Board of Supervisors, requested approval of a motion to enact a 4.5% cost of living adjustment for the Budget and Legislative Analyst contract (Harvey Ambrose Associates LLC). The current not-to-exceed amount is $36 million for a 10-year contract ending December 31, 2031. The adjustment would increase the FY 2026-2027 contract amount by approximately $152,000 to $3.5 million, effective July 1, 2026. The funding is included in the department's June 1 budget and has been certified by the Controller's Office as generating savings. The committee voted to send the motion to the full board with a recommendation. Key Outcomes - Item 2 – Grant Threshold Ordinance: The committee voted unanimously (3-0) to adopt President Mandelman's amendments (grant increase cap of $200,000 and exemption for pro bono legal services) and to continue the amended ordinance to the July 8, 2026 meeting of the Budget and Finance Committee. - Item 1 – Lease Amendment for TADS Inc.: The committee voted unanimously (3-0) to amend the resolution with retroactive language and to refer it to the full Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval. The item is expected on the Board's June 23, 2026 agenda. - Item 3 – BLA Contract COLA: The committee voted unanimously (3-0) to refer the motion to the full Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval.

The San Francisco Police Commission held a regular meeting on June 17, 2026, to discuss crime trends, departmental audits, officer-involved shooting reviews, disciplinary findings, and proposed policy updates. The meeting included public comment, reports from the Chief of Police, the Department of Police Accountability (DPA), and commissioners, followed by votes on revised general orders and a closed session. Public Comments & Testimony - A mother whose son, Arbor Casa, was murdered on August 14, 2006, appealed to the commission for justice in his unsolved case. She provided names of alleged perpetrators and displayed a list of unsolved homicides, urging the commission to find ways to encourage tipsters. She also announced plans for a street naming ceremony to raise awareness. Chief’s Report – Discussion Items - Recruit Class 288: Chief Bill Scott reported that 17 recruits were sworn in on June 14, 2026. The class originally had 31 recruits; 7 are bilingual (Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Hebrew). The chief noted that future classes are expected to be larger (approximately 50 recruits). - Crime Statistics (Year-to-Date as of June 14, 2026): - Overall part one crimes: down 22% compared to 2025. - Violent crimes: down 12%; homicides: 17 (up 70% from 10 in 2025). - Gun violence: down 17%; robberies: down 20% (robberies with firearms down 32%). - Property crimes: down 23%; burglaries: down 26%; motor vehicle theft: down 26%; auto burglaries: down 42%. - No shootings or homicides during the reporting period. - ALPR Audit Findings: The chief disclosed that an audit of the department’s automated license plate reader (ALPR) system, conducted on May 12, 2026, revealed 299 improper inquiries (0.005% of total) made by the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NICRIC) on behalf of federal and out-of-state agencies, including DEA, IRS, ATF, and agencies from Oregon and Washington. The inquiries date back to May 1, 2025, and involved serious crimes (homicide, child sexual abuse, gun/drug trafficking). No inquiries referenced immigration enforcement or reproductive rights. SFPD immediately terminated NICRIC’s access and self-reported to the Human Rights Commission and DPA. The chief emphasized that no SFPD employees conducted the improper searches and that the department is working to further secure the system. - Other Incidents: Two officers were injured on June 12 when struck by a vehicle during a foot pursuit; the suspect died. A motorcycle officer survived a collision with a semi-truck on June 15. DPA Director’s Report – Discussion Items - Director Henderson reported that DPA presented its budget to the Board of Supervisors on June 12 and received positive feedback. Since the last commission, DPA opened 10 cases and closed 26. The most common allegations were officer misconduct (behaving/speaking inappropriately) and failure to investigate. Commission Reports – Discussion Items - President Clay highlighted the graduation of 17 officers (plus 2 from Berkeley) and noted that San Francisco received 4,083 police applications in the first half of 2026, a 94% increase over the same period in 2025. He remarked on strong community support for more police presence. SFPD Serious Incident Review Board (SIRB) Findings – First Quarter 2026 (Discussion) - Lieutenant Lisa Springer presented four officer-involved shootings, all found to be in policy and proper conduct: 1. May 19, 2023: Officers responded to a burglary suspect armed with a firearm. After a three-hour standoff, the suspect reached for the gun and was shot by an officer from an elevated position. The suspect died; toxicology positive for methamphetamine. 2. October 9, 2023: A suspect drove a vehicle into the Chinese consulate lobby and was armed with a knife. An officer shot the suspect after he made stabbing motions toward the officer and a security guard. The suspect died. 3. September 13, 2024: A suspect in a stolen vehicle with a revolver fled on foot, entered a liquor store, and later a BART station. When the suspect raised the firearm at officers, three officers fired, wounding the suspect, who was later discharged from the hospital. 4. A 2024 incident: A neighbor with a firearm was reported for yelling at children. Officers responded; the suspect pointed the firearm at a drone and then toward an officer, who shot and wounded the suspect in the arm. The suspect was arrested. SFPD Disciplinary Review Board (DRB) Findings – First Quarter 2026 (Discussion) - Sharon Wu from DPA presented aggregate trends: top allegations from internal affairs were conduct unbecoming (35%), neglect of duty (30%), and failure to appear at the range (11.32%). DPA’s top allegations were neglect of duty (50%), unwarranted action (17%), and neglect of duty related to body-worn cameras (17%). - Policy Failures Identified: 1. Victims of crime were not informed when their cases were not assigned for investigation. DPA recommended improved communication, possibly through an automated system (similar to DPA’s PIN system). 2. In the Powell Street/BART station OIS (September 2024), a sergeant trained in Extended Range Impact Weapon (ERIW) did not have access to one at the initial scene, allowing the suspect to move into a populated area. DPA recommended that all sergeants responding to critical incidents carry an ERIW or have one available. Chief Scott noted that sergeants ride alone and that ERIW deployment requires lethal cover, making the recommendation challenging. 3. A property custody DGO (from 1994) was outdated, not allowing transfer of responsibility for seized property. The department has since updated the policy. - The Office of Equity and Inclusion found no disparities or inequities in the quarterly reports. Key Outcomes - Motion to revise General Order 2.05 (Complaints Against Non-Sworn Personnel): Approved, 7–1–1 (Commissioner Elias voted no, one commissioner absent? The vote tally: Lowe, Scott, Leong, Benedicto, Techie, Clay – yes; Elias – no; no other no votes recorded). The order will move to the meet-and-confer stage with affected bargaining units. - Motion to revise General Order 6.05 (Death Cases): Approved unanimously (all voting commissioners: Lowe, Scott, Leong, Benedicto, Elias, Techie, Clay – yes). The order will proceed to meet-and-confer. - Motion to go into closed session (Item 12): Approved unanimously. - Motion to not disclose closed session discussion: Approved unanimously (vote recorded: Scott, Leong, Benedicto, Elias, Techie, Clay – yes).

Speakers included clinicians, union representatives, patients, and community advocates. Key points: clinics are understaffed, not underutilized; transition plans are insufficient; cuts will increase emergency room visits and deaths. Several speakers accused the city of targeting vulnerable populations and betraying San Francisco’s legacy of LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS care. The hearing was filed with no action taken. - General Public Comment: Speakers addressed the need for Juneteenth funding, housing issues at 1190 Mission Street, and concerns about Blue Shield notifications to retirees. One speaker criticized SF Giants players for using Pride game to protest LGBTQ+ inclusion. Discussion Items - SFMTA Loan (Item 20): The board held a public hearing on a resolution authorizing the Director of Transportation to enter into a $200 million loan agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for public transit operating purposes.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee met on June 15, 2026, chaired by Supervisor Shamann Walton, with members Supervisor Alan Wong and President Rafael Mandelman. The meeting focused on three items: an ordinance updating the domestic violence shelter-based program fund, and appointments to the Entertainment Commission and Behavioral Health Commission. All items were forwarded to the full Board. Public Comments & Testimony Item 1 – Domestic Violence Shelter-Based Program Fund Ordinance: - Beverly Upton, Executive Director of the San Francisco Domestic Violence Consortium, expressed strong support for the ordinance, calling it a "big step forward." She thanked President Mandelman and his team for the collaborative work, noting the importance of aligning state and local law. She also expressed hope for future refinements regarding LGBTQ+ domestic violence funding. - Pablo Spinosa, Executive Director of Community United Against Violence (CUAV), thanked the committee for addressing domestic violence affecting LGBTQ communities.

The Land Use and Transportation Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors met on June 15, 2026, at 9:45 AM. Chair Mirna Melgar presided, joined by Vice Chair Cheyenne Chen and Supervisor Bilal Mahmud. The committee considered two agenda items: a commemorative street naming resolution for retired Fire Captain Tony Stefani, and an ordinance to amend institutional master plan (IMP) requirements for post-secondary educational institutions in certain districts. Public Comments & Testimony Item 1 – Tony Stefani Way - Fire Chief: Spoke in strong support, describing Tony Stefani’s career and his Cancer Prevention Foundation, which has saved “thousands” of firefighters’ lives and sparked a national movement. - Mr. Gabler (likely a firefighter representative): Emphasized Stefani’s integrity and his role in starting the foundation against initial opposition, calling him “the linchpin of progress for firefighters across the whole country.” - Commissioner Steve Nakajo (30-year Fire Commissioner): Supported the naming, noting Stefani’s leadership and the national model of the cancer prevention effort. Item 2 – IMP Exemption Ordinance - David Wu (Soma Pilipinas): Urged removal of the C3 district exemption, citing potential negative impacts on SOMA neighborhoods and the example of Academy of Art University illegally converting housing. Supported the housing declaration requirement but asked for additional protections against displacing neighborhood-serving retail and legacy businesses. - Calvin Welch (Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood Council): Supported amendments requiring institutions to certify under penalty of perjury they will not demolish or convert residential units or rent-controlled units. Agreed with Soma Pilipinas that the exemption should not apply to C3 districts and argued for similar protections for neighborhood-serving retail. Discussion Items Item 1: Commemorative Street Name – Tony Stefani Way - Resolution to add “Tony Stefani Way” to Falmouth Street between Folsom and Shipley Streets. - Supervisor Chen expressed strong support, emphasizing honoring hometown heroes and Stefani’s fight against cancer among firefighters. Supervisor Mahmud added co-sponsorship. - No committee members raised concerns. Item 2: Ordinance Amending Institutional Master Plan Requirements - Introduced by Madison Tam (Supervisor Dorsey’s office): The ordinance would exempt post-secondary educational institutions in the C3 (downtown commercial) district or the Art and Design Educational Special Use District (SUD) from filing institutional master plans. Institutions elsewhere remain subject to IMPs. The ordinance includes guardrails: institutions must declare under penalty of perjury that they will not demolish or convert housing, including rent-controlled units. - Veronica Flores (Planning Department) reported the Planning Commission approved the ordinance on April 16 with anticipated amendments (expanding accreditation definitions and updating the SUD reference), incorporated into the substitute ordinance introduced June 2. - Supervisor Melgar noted the Planning Commission vote was not unanimous. She expressed concerns about the broad C3 exemption, referencing the city’s past litigation with the Academy of Art University, which disregarded housing and demolition laws. She suggested limiting the exemption to the Art and Design SUD or adding a time limit to evaluate success before permanent exemption. Supervisor Melgar offered a motion to continue the item to allow further stakeholder discussions. Key Outcomes - Item 1 (Resolution): Motion to recommend to the full Board of Supervisors passed unanimously (3-0: Chen, Mahmud, Melgar). - Item 2 (Ordinance): Motion to continue the item to the committee’s June 29, 2026 meeting passed unanimously (3-0: Chen, Mahmud, Melgar). The continuation is intended to allow Supervisor Dorsey’s office and stakeholders to address concerns raised in public comment and by the chair.

On June 12, 2026, the Budget and Appropriation Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, chaired by Supervisor Connie Chan, held a hearing to consider the mayor's proposed budget for fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. The meeting featured presentations from multiple city departments, extensive discussion of a proposed transition of pretrial services from the Sheriff's Department to Adult Probation, and public testimony overwhelmingly in support of preserving the existing SF Pretrial program and increasing funding for the Public Defender's Office. The committee voted to continue the items to its June 18, 2026 meeting. Technical Adjustments - Director Sophia Kittler of the Mayor's Budget Office introduced a first round of technical adjustments to the mayor's proposed budget. These include correcting revenues and expenditures across several departments, shifting general fund reserves, and updating position codes. The adjustments reduce the proposed fiscal 2027 budget by $110,821 and the fiscal 2028 budget by $19,541,618, with a net general fund impact of $1.7 million in year one and a cost of $3.18 million in year two. Public Comments & Testimony - Overwhelming support for SF Pretrial: Many speakers, including clients, staff, board members, and community advocates, urged the committee to reject the proposal to transfer pretrial services to Adult Probation. They highlighted SF Pretrial's 50-year track record, its 96% court appearance rate, its cost-effectiveness ($7.5 million annually for approximately 2,000 clients), and the trust it builds with clients. Speakers argued that Adult Probation lacks the same community-based approach and would duplicate services at a higher cost ($12.7 million requested). - Support for Public Defender's Office: Multiple speakers, including law students and union representatives, called for increased funding for the Public Defender's Office, citing constitutionally mandated representation, rising caseloads (68% increase in misdemeanor and 52% increase in felony active caseloads since 2019), and a staffing disparity with the District Attorney's Office. - Opposition to police overtime spending: Some speakers criticized the police department's $73 million overtime budget, arguing that funds should be redirected to prevention and community-based programs. - A speaker read a statement from a client who credited SF Pretrial with stabilizing his life after 27 years in prison. Discussion Items City Attorney's Office - City Attorney David Chu presented a $132 million budget. He noted that 68% of revenue comes from work orders, and nearly 80% of expenditures are personnel costs. Key achievements include saving $120 million in an Airbnb tax settlement, recovering $4 million from tobacco retailers, $9 million in code enforcement settlements since 2025, and $28 million in stolen wages. The office has filed 16 lawsuits against the federal administration, winning over 90% of lower court cases, and is pursuing $440 million in FEMA reimbursements for pandemic costs. Superior Court - Court Executive Officer Brandon Riley requested $250,000 for the civil grand jury and $10.6 million for indigent defense (an 8% increase of $810,000). He stated the increase is likely insufficient due to a surge in misdemeanor cases from the Public Defender's Office declaring unavailability, and predicted a need for a supplemental appropriation early next year. He estimated an additional $1-2 million per year would be needed to true up expenditures. - A heated exchange occurred between Chair Chan and Mr. Riley over the proposed shift of pretrial services to Adult Probation. Chair Chan questioned the rationale, citing a lack of cost savings according to the Budget and Legislative Analyst and differing opinions from the Sheriff and Public Defender. Mr. Riley defended the move, citing transparency and accountability issues with the current pretrial program. Department of Emergency Management - Executive Director Mary Ellen Carroll presented a two-year budget: $14 million in year one and $113 million in year two. She reported that the 911 dispatch center has met state answer time standards (90% of calls within 15 seconds) since October 2025, with zero mandatory overtime. The department faces a fiscal cliff due to the loss of federal grants (UASI) that had funded emergency services for 15 years. The budget deletes 14 positions over two years (12 in year one, 2 in year two), with seven positions transferred to the Department of Public Health for street response. Seven filled positions were laid off: three separated, three reassigned, one pending. - On sirens, Chair Chan pressed for a redundant emergency alert system not reliant on Wi-Fi or battery, citing personal experience during a December 2024 PG&E blackout. Director Carroll noted the SIREN system has been offline since 2019, with restoration costs estimated at $8.5 million for 35 coastal sites plus $1 million annual maintenance, but emphasized existing redundancies (Alert SF, wireless alerts, NOAA radios) were tested successfully during the 2024 tsunami warning. Juvenile Probation Department - Director Miller presented a budget that reflects absorption of DJJ realignment mandates without commensurate state funding. The department receives $3.5 million from the state but spends an additional $7.4 million on realignment functions. Caseloads for probation officers have increased 47% due to a 48% reduction in officers over five years. The budget proposes additions: funding for expiring community programs, two new probation officers, a nutrition adjustment, and capital repairs. Four positions are proposed for elimination. Adult Probation Department - Chief Christelle Tulach presented a $72.6 million budget, including $7.4 million in year one and $8.5 million in year two for a new pretrial services program (35 FTE), and $2 million for a violence reduction program. The proposal is in response to a court directive to take over pretrial supervision from the Sheriff's contract. The program aims to modernize with an automated Public Safety Assessment (PSA) and a case management system, with a planned go-live date of January 2027. - Committee members expressed significant concerns about the transition. Supervisor Walton questioned the feasibility of hiring 35 staff in six months, noting the department has never done so. Supervisor Sauter stated he is not convinced of a compelling reason to change and wants more details. Director Kittler (MBO) acknowledged a duplicative cost in year one to fund both the sheriff's contract for six months and the adult probation startup. Chair Chan suggested placing some funding on reserve to allow continued conversation. Public Defender's Office - Public Defender Noa Raju presented a $58 million budget, noting the office serves over 20,000 indigent clients annually and represents 84% of all indigent defendants. He highlighted a workload crisis driven by increased arrests and filings, fewer settlements, and the new California Supreme Court Kowalchik decision. Active misdemeanor caseloads have risen 68% and felony caseloads 52% since 2019. He noted a stark funding disparity: the Public Defender's budget is 4.3% of the combined budgets of police, sheriff, DA, probation, and superior court. - On pretrial transition, Raju expressed support for the current SF Pretrial model, citing trust and community-based approach, and urged reinvestment in improving the existing system rather than transferring to Adult Probation. Fire Department - Chief Dean Crispin presented a budget with nine deleted positions (six civilian, three uniform) with no layoffs. The department has reduced overtime by 28% over five years. Notable investments include $8 million per year over 10 years for apparatus replacement (to replace engines and trucks over 20 years old and ambulances over 10 years old), funding for PFAS-free turnout gear to comply with a 2024 ordinance, and $500,000 for advanced cancer screenings for firefighters. Call volume continues to increase, projected to exceed 180,000 incidents in the current fiscal year. - Chair Chan asked about autonomous vehicle incidents; Chief Crispin noted they create delays and resource drains, and she expressed interest in creating fee legislation for emergency response to AV malfunctions. Sheriff's Department - Sheriff Paul Miyamoto presented a budget with increased general fund support of $24 million for personnel (due to attrition adjustments and CalPERS increases) and $6.7 million for non-personnel services (primarily the Reset Center). The department has improved sworn staffing by 39% over two years, reducing the gap from 230 to 140 vacancies. It aims to hire 75 deputies next year. The Reset Center, which provides a therapeutic alternative to jail for public intoxication, has had 643 arrivals, with 28% connected to care upon release. - On pretrial, the Sheriff expressed concern about the transition timeline, stating six months is unrealistic and that the current contract is only funded for the first six months of the fiscal year. He noted a need for collaboration and a detailed plan before any change. The contract with SF Pretrial currently funds approximately 65 FTE positions; the Adult Probation proposal funds 35 FTE. Department of Police Accountability (DPA) - Executive Director Paul Henderson presented a budget with a modest increase of $779,000 for two new investigators to meet charter mandates as the police department expands. DPA remains 15.8 positions below its 2021 baseline despite growing caseload (899 independent investigations opened last year, a 22% increase). The agency processes cases in an average of 94 days, the highest efficiency in its history. Office of Sheriff's Inspector General (OSIG) - Paul Henderson also presented for OSIG, noting the Inspector General position is vacant and DPA is running both agencies. The office was created by Prop D in 2020. Two temporary exempt investigator positions were filled in March, but the office cannot yet operate independently. Supervisor Walton expressed frustration that the voter mandate remains underfunded and asked the City Attorney about legality; Deputy City Attorney Rossi stated funding is subject to the budgetary process. District Attorney's Office - District Attorney Brooke Jenkins presented a $99.1 million proposed budget (2.6% increase) and $101 million for fiscal 2028 (2.2% increase). She warned that future reductions of over $1 million in attrition savings will impact operations, citing a desperate need for more paralegals to handle discovery obligations (1.5 million pages reviewed, 77,000 body-worn camera videos, 35 terabytes of media in 2025). She also requested $1.3 million for general operations including a shuttle for attorneys (due to relocation from Hall of Justice) and $217,000 for the Be the Jury program to increase juror pay. Caseloads are at a high point since the pre-pandemic era. Police Department - Chief Derek Lou presented a budget with $765.3 million in general fund expenditures (over 90% for personnel). The department has a deficit of approximately 639 sworn officers (1,618 full-duty officers against a recommended 2,257). Recruitment is improving, with over 3,800 applications received as of June 1, on track for 10,000 by year end. The budget includes $73 million for overtime, though projected spending is $96 million for the current year. The overtime budget was increased from $35 million in previous years. The department will eliminate 33 FTE positions (primarily IT and admin) with four civilian layoffs. - Vice Chair Dorsey questioned the cycle of under-budgeting overtime. Chair Chan urged Chief Lou to incorporate technology (e.g., drones, license plate readers) into the next staffing study (due March 2027) and to provide quarterly overtime reports. She requested a draft staffing report before the study's completion. Key Outcomes - Motion to Continue: The committee unanimously (5-0) voted to continue Items 1-3 (the budget hearing, appropriation ordinance, and salary ordinance) to the June 18, 2026 meeting. - Pretrial Transition: Chair Chan indicated she is inclined to place portions of both the Sheriff's pretrial contract funding and the Adult Probation budget on reserve to allow further discussion and accountability. She also called for exploring state reimbursement for the court-directed transition. - Oversight and Reporting: The committee reiterated expectations for quarterly police overtime reports and urged the Police Department to produce a draft staffing study that incorporates technological advancements.

The Budget and Appropriation Committee, chaired by Supervisor Connie Chan, met on June 11, 2026, to hear presentations from multiple city departments on their proposed budgets for fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28. The committee reviewed departmental funding requests, reductions, and staffing changes amid significant budget challenges. Public comment was taken on all three agenda items, and the committee voted to continue the items to the next day, June 12, 2026. Public Comments & Testimony - Arts Commission: Multiple speakers, including artists and program managers, urged the committee to restore staffing cuts to the SFAC Galleries program, noting that eliminating two positions (including the manager of education and public programs) would reduce the program's capacity by half and harm artist support and public programming. - MOHCD-funded Youth Programs: Several youth and coordinators from Chinatown Alleyway Tours (CATS) and related programs spoke in support of restoring MOHCD cuts, emphasizing the program's impact on leadership, public speaking, and cultural identity for low-income immigrant youth. - Workforce Development: Representatives from the Latino Task Force and other community organizations opposed cuts to workforce development and case management programs, arguing that investments are essential for economic mobility and that Latino-serving organizations face disproportionate reductions. - Free City College: Speakers requested full funding for the Free City College program, noting that the current budget would exclude approximately 6,000 low-income students. - Early Childhood: Advocates urged continued investment in family, friend, and neighbor (FFN) care and highlighted unmet needs for childcare for families with non-traditional work schedules. - Academy of Sciences: A member expressed anger over layoffs and criticized management for not considering alternatives such as executive pay cuts. Discussion Items - Recreation and Park Department: Presenters detailed a $284 million operating budget for FY27 and $282.6 million for FY28, highlighting a 10.5% attrition rate, 1,969 total staff, and a structural deficit driven by rising PUC utility costs. The department is implementing paid parking in Golden Gate Park beginning January 2027 and reported a 9% increase in golf revenue from dynamic pricing. - Asian Art Museum: Director So Young Lee reported a $13.1 million city budget (one-third of total operating budget) and noted a 51% increase in school program participation. Chair Chan recommended a public-private partnership for capital maintenance, similar to SF General Hospital. - Fine Arts Museums: Director Tom Campbell reported 1.5 million visitors in 2025, ranking 7th most visited art museum in the U.S. The proposed budget is $26.6 million, up 8.5% due to capital support. Chair Chan expressed a desire for labor harmony. - Academy of Sciences: Interim Executive Director Amber Mace confirmed 53 layoffs (5.9 million in savings) to address an $8 million structural deficit. The city provides about 10% of the Academy's budget ($9.04 million for FY27). Chair Chan proposed a BLA audit and potentially placing city funding on reserve, citing concerns over layoffs, unrestricted endowment ($50 million), and the sale of a Pacific Heights mansion. Supervisor Sauter criticized the Academy's withdrawal from the Museums for All program. - Arts Commission: Presenters outlined the merger of three agencies into a unified Department of Arts and Culture with a total budget of $29.5 million for FY27. Cuts include elimination of filled positions and reductions to grant programs. Chair Chan encouraged a balanced approach supporting both institutions and local artists. - War Memorial: Managing Director Kate Sofis presented a budget with a $1.2 million reduction in general fund support, increased recycling costs, and ongoing capital projects. The venue saw increased attendance and diversification of programming. - Department of Early Childhood: Director Ingrid Mejia reported a $343.6 million budget for FY27, with 85% going to grants and no cuts to CBOs. The department expanded tuition assistance to families earning under 200% of AMI and raised teacher wages by 16%. Capital reserves include $10 million each for childcare sites at Zuckerberg SF General Hospital, Laguna Honda Hospital, and OMI Public Library. - Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing: Director presented an $835.3 million budget for FY27, with new investments in prevention, interim housing, and supportive housing using Our City Our Home funds. The budget deletes 8 vacant positions and transfers 11 positions to DPH. Staffing has decreased 11% over two years despite budget growth. - Department of Public Health: Director outlined a $3.7 billion total budget with a $251 million increase in general fund support to backfill federal cuts. The department eliminated 130 FTE positions (103 vacancies, 23 reassignments) with only 4 layoffs. CBO reductions totaled $20 million, with most achieved through efficiencies and funding swaps rather than service cuts. HIV services maintained at roughly $84 million. - Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development: Presented a $218 million proposed budget for FY27, a $41 million increase driven by Prop G revenues, loan repayments, and debt service. Cuts include $2.6 million in one-time grants and $3.7 million in community-based services grants. Three layoffs and three vacant position deletions were implemented. Digital equity work will continue under the Department of Technology. - Human Rights Commission: Director Mawuli Tobin and Dr. Diana Oroce presented a unified budget of $29.5 million for FY27, reflecting a $5.2 million reduction. Cuts include $2 million from YouthWorks (reducing slots) and reductions to community empowerment grants and Juneteenth events. The Office of Transgender Initiatives expects increased demand due to anti-trans legislation nationwide. - Department of Children, Youth and Their Families: Director Sharice Thursey-Smith reported no cuts to CBO programs and a budget that maintains 144 agencies and 258 programs.

Supervisor Walton requested demographics of layoffs; Director reported that 75% of staff are people of color, and among laid-off filled positions, 2 were Asian American, 4 African American, 2 Hispanic, and 2 white. Key Outcomes - The committee voted to continue items 1-3 to the June 12, 2026 meeting (motion passed 4-0, with Supervisor Walton absent). - Chair Chan announced that the enterprise departments' acceptance of Budget and Legislative Analyst recommendations would be recorded for the record: Airport accepts recommendations 1,3,5,7,9; Water Enterprise accepts 1,4,5,7,8 with partial acceptance of 9 and rejection of 2,3,6,8; Public Utilities accepts 1-5,7,9,10 with rejection of 6 and 8. Counter-offers were made to balance rejections. - Chair Chan proposed a budget and legislative analyst audit of the Academy of Sciences and indicated that city funding may be placed on reserve until the audit is completed, similar to the approach used for the San Francisco Zoo. - Chair Chan committed to fully funding the Free City College program in the next two fiscal years. - Vice Chair Dorsey and Supervisor Walton raised questions about the effectiveness of the RV strategy and what steps are taken for unpermitted RVs; HSH agreed to work with other departments to provide an answer. - Several supervisors expressed support for restoring certain cuts, but no final funding decisions were made at this hearing.

The Budget and Appropriation Committee, chaired by Supervisor Connie Chan and joined by Vice Chair Matt Dorsey and members Danny Sauter and Shaman Walton, convened on June 10, 2026, to review the controller's nine-month budget status report, the revenue letter for fiscal years 2026-2028, the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII) budget, and the mayor's proposed city budget for fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. The meeting included presentations from multiple departments, public testimony, and a series of votes. The committee heard and filed reports, forwarded resolutions to the full board, and continued consideration of the mayor's proposed budget and appropriation ordinances to June 11, 2026. Consent Calendar - No consent calendar was presented. All items were discussed individually. Public Comments & Testimony - Gabriela Cascianos Rumble spoke on health equity and dental coverage impacts from HR1, urging attention to children's oral health. - Marie Jobling (Dignity Fund Coalition) urged preservation of senior services, noting that many seniors rely on Social Security and fixed incomes. - Janet Crane and Jack Willen Zimmer Jones (Next Village) opposed cuts to District 2 University and senior workforce programs, arguing they prevent isolation and reduce costly city services. - Kate Cookrow (Community Living Campaign) urged restoration of a $500,000 cut to the SF Reserve workforce program for older adults and people with disabilities. - Ugo Baldasari, Kathy Spenceley, Marty Garcia, Marvin Ronquillow, and others (Felton Institute) spoke in support of senior workforce programs (CSEP, Back to Work), stating that cuts would shift costs to more expensive services and that the programs pay for themselves through tax revenue. - Christina Irving (Dignity Fund Coalition) urged rejection of cuts to older adult services, emphasizing that the city has already suspended dignity fund allocations. - Jeanette Longton (HSS EAP counselor) opposed elimination of internal EAP positions, disputing the claim that counselors do only 20% of the work. - Damon, Josephine Wong, Chris Kennedy, Kurtising, Wallace Hall, Francis, Rob Urbanessis, Sean Stoggy McManus, Jocelyn Cohn, Wallace Lee, Minerva Walston (IFPTE Local 21), and others opposed contracting out the Materials Testing Lab (MTL), citing loss of institutional knowledge, potential loss of state/federal funding, and accountability concerns. They urged rejection of the Prop J certification. - Edith Yamanoha (Felton Institute) supported workforce development programs. - Additional speakers supported senior services and opposed cuts to the dignity fund and workforce programs. Discussion Items - Controller's Nine-Month Budget Status Report (Item 1): Michelle Ellersma reported a $54 million improvement over the prior forecast, with $53 million in revenue improvement driven largely by transfer tax ($31 million). Overtime supplementals were noted, and the Sheriff's Department supplemental was on 30-day hold. The report sets the stage for the mayor's budget. The committee heard and filed the report. - Revenue Letter (Item 2): Controller Greg Wagner and Carol Lou presented the revenue letter for FY26-27 and FY27-28. They found the mayor's revenue assumptions reasonable. The budget uses $41.4 million (FY27) and $43.5 million (FY28) from the federal/state risk reserve. Risks include up to $700 million downside from potential ballot measures (e.g., Muni funding, transfer tax restriction). The budget makes $300 million progress on the structural deficit, closing a $643 million gap. Chair Chan expressed concern about multiple proposals to set aside funds (housing trust fund, affordable housing guarantee act) amid fiscal uncertainty. - OCII Budget and Bond Authorization (Items 3 & 4): Thor Kazlovski presented the $665 million OCII budget for FY26-27, with $275 million in bond proceeds for affordable housing. Over 70% of housing is for households earning ≤50% AMI. The budget was approved and forwarded to the full board with a correction to the referral date (July 14, 2026). - Mayor's Proposed Budget (Items 5-10): Budget Director Sophia Kittler framed the $16.9 billion (FY27) and $17.2 billion (FY28) budget. It balances a $643 million deficit by eliminating 550 positions, reducing grants/contracts by $75 million, and assuming $80 million in unspecified salary savings in year two. Key priorities: preserving the social safety net (backfilling HR1 losses), clean/safe streets, capital investment, and technology modernization.
