The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) held a regular meeting on June 9, 2026, starting at 9:30 AM and adjourning at 3:28 PM. The meeting included approval of minutes, a report from the General Manager on the capital financing plan and wastewater capital improvement program, recognition of four retiring employees, a consent calendar, and a regular calendar item authorizing bond issuances for the SFPUC headquarters and refunding of Build America Bonds (BABs). Public comments addressed employee safety and community engagement. Consent Calendar - Item 6 – Consent Calendar: The commission unanimously approved the consent calendar (5-0 vote: President Arce, Vice President Leverone, Commissioners Jamdar, Stacy, Thurlow all aye). No discussion or public comment was offered. Public Comments & Testimony - General Public Comment (Item 4): Francisco de Costa spoke about confined space training and safety, stating that “confined space needs training” and that most commissioners have not read the relevant policy. He claimed he has empirical data and that OSHA agrees with him, urging that employees must be treated as human beings and with respect. - Wastewater Capital Improvement Program Quarterly Report (Item 5B): Mr. de Costa again addressed the commission, urging that the community of Bayview be involved in large projects, noting that residents were promised reports every six months, and warning about impacts from tariffs and El Niño flooding. - Retirement Recognition (Item 5C): Cheryl Taylor and Chiyao (deputy manager) offered supportive remarks for retiring Assistant General Manager Barbara Hale, praising her mentorship, leadership, and role in creating Clean Power SF. Discussion Items - Item 5A – Capital Financing Plan Report: Nikolai Sklarov presented the annual capital financing plan, noting approximately $11 billion in outstanding debt and $2.45 billion in interim funding across three enterprises. He highlighted that a planned $931 million wastewater bond was deferred to the next fiscal year to reduce rate impacts. The plan includes refinancing opportunities and a focus on risk mitigation, including the potential for sequestration loss of a $13 million annual subsidy from the federal government on BABs. A wastewater bond issuance is scheduled for July 29, 2026, alongside refinancing proposals. Staff are also updating the SFPUC's debt policy and evaluating the green bond program after a verifier withdrew from the market. - Item 5B – Wastewater Enterprise Capital Improvement Program Quarterly Report: Bessie Tam presented the quarterly report for the $9 billion wastewater capital program, with $4.4 billion remaining to be spent. Seventeen milestones were achieved in the prior quarter, including progress on the Biosolids Digester Facilities Project, the new headworks project (forecasting a slight cost savings of approximately $10 million), and the nutrient reduction project at the Southeast Treatment Plant. The project is designed to be adaptable for future regulatory changes. Commissioner Stacy inquired about tracking budget variances from project inception; staff acknowledged the challenge due to the rolling 10-year CIP. - Item 5C – Employee Retirement Recognition: The commission honored four retiring employees with resolutions detailing their service: Terrence O'Sullivan (41 years, 38 at SFPUC, clean energy program), Glorina “Glo” Chrysostoma (37 years, Customer Service Bureau, chief water inspector), Howard Fung (26 years at SFPUC, infrastructure project management), and Barbara Hale (21 years as Assistant General Manager for Power Enterprise, launched Clean Power SF).

The goal is to mitigate risk from potential federal sequestration of BAB subsidies (currently $13 million per year, with a 3% net present value savings test). The transaction requires Board of Supervisors approval and would be executed when market conditions are favorable. The commission discussed the risk of subsidy loss and the flexibility provided by direct purchase or commercial paper options. The item was approved unanimously (5-0).

The Land Use and Transportation Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors met on June 8, 2026, at 9:45 AM. Chaired by Supervisor Mirna Melgar, with Vice Chair Cheyenne Chen and Supervisor Bilal Mahmoud, the committee addressed six agenda items, including a major hearing on affordable housing funding strategies, legislation on lithium-ion battery safety, and continuances for several items. Consent Calendar - Item 1 (Transportation Code Amendments): An ordinance making non-substantive organizational changes to provisions governing the Interdepartmental Staff Council on Traffic and Transportation and removing outdated school street use provisions. The committee voted unanimously (3-0) to recommend it to the full Board with a positive recommendation. Public Comments & Testimony - Item 2 (Lithium-ion Battery Safety): Public comment was limited; Joel Coppel from the San Francisco Electrical Contractors Association expressed support, emphasizing life safety and proper installation standards. - Item 4 (Affordable Housing Hearing): Extensive public comment was received. Key speakers included: - Honest Charlie Bodkin (San Franciscans for Social Housing) urged dedication of Proposition I funds to affordable housing. - Sean Auckland (SOMA resident) criticized geographic concentration of affordable housing in Districts 5, 6, and 10, calling it a containment strategy. - Rebecca Jackson (Women's Housing Coalition) advocated for including survivors of gender-based violence in housing equity tracking. - Quentin Necky (Council of Community Housing Organizations) emphasized that "money matters" and highlighted the need for billions in funding, citing Seattle and Philadelphia as models. - Several members of SomCan and the Filipino community shared personal stories of housing insecurity and urged faster action. - Kristen Evans (Small Business Forward) supported lowering inclusionary rates and expanding the Housing Trust Fund. - Emily Mock (Chinese Progressive Association) read a statement from Moon Huang about a multi-generational family crowded into one home, calling for deeply affordable housing. - Item 6 (Smoke-Free Places): Public comment included: - Bob Gordon (American Cancer Society) and Brian Davis (SF Tobacco Free Coalition) supported the ordinance, citing successful implementation in other cities like San Jose and Oakland. - Alex Marenkov (asthma sufferer) emphasized accessibility issues. - Kristen Evans (Small Business Forward) opposed the current version, arguing it lacked collaboration with small businesses and placed enforcement burdens on staff. Discussion Items - Item 2 - Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Ordinance (Supervisor Mahmoud): - Fire Chief Dean Crispin testified that over 120 lithium-ion battery fires occurred in San Francisco over the past five years, with a notable December 2025 fire at 50 Golden Gate Avenue displacing over 130 residents. Non-certified batteries can cause thermal runaway, igniting rapidly. - Supervisor Mahmoud introduced the ordinance to prohibit sale, offer, or delivery of uncertified batteries and powered mobility devices. A minor amendment (accepted) added the international standard EN 15194 to expand compliance pathways. The ordinance also establishes enforcement by the San Francisco Fire Department and penalties. - Supervisor Chen co-sponsored and voiced support. - The committee voted unanimously (3-0) to adopt the amendment and send the amended ordinance to the full Board. - Item 4 - Hearing on Affordable Housing Funding Strategies (Supervisor Chen): - Planning Department (Lisa Chen): Presented on San Francisco's progress toward the 2031 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goal of 82,069 units. As of 2025, only 20% of needed units had been authorized. Progress was strongest for low/very low-income units (37-38% of goal) but lagged for moderate and above-moderate income (about 25%). Construction costs increased 30% since 2020; financial feasibility studies found all market-rate prototypes infeasible. The proposed Housing Trust Fund expansion (from $50M to $125M annually) would generate over $3 billion over 30 years. - MOHCD (Dan Adams): Detailed the complexity of affordable housing financing. The city's portfolio includes 35,000 units. Nearly 50% serve seniors. The typical development timeline is 7 years, with most delay due to financing (waiting for state/federal sources). Local subsidy is about $250,000-$300,000 per unit, leveraging state/federal dollars. The city faces a "fiscal cliff" in 2029 as bond funds expire. The Housing Trust Fund expansion is critical. Need for land banking and geographic diversification (especially Westside) was discussed. - Budget and Legislative Analyst (Fred Brousseau): Presented findings from a report requested by Supervisor Chen. Key points: The city needs an estimated $17.9 billion to meet RHNA goals. The 2023 temporary fee reductions had a marginal impact (0.44% to 1.83% savings on project costs) and did not significantly boost production. Recommended strategies included: - Revolving loan fund (modeled after Montgomery County, MD) - Joint powers authority combining MOHCD and Housing Authority - Open indenture (like New York City) - Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) - SB 593 bonding authority for social housing - Raising the debt ceiling for general obligation bonds - New or enhanced taxes (e.g., transfer tax on properties over $10M) - Equity gaps: The report found gaps in tracking and transparency, particularly for extremely low-income households and survivors of domestic violence. The annual progress report (APR) is not easily accessible to the public. - Supervisors Melgar and Mahmoud engaged in detailed Q&A on funding adequacy, project selection, operating deficits, land acquisition, and inclusionary housing trade-offs. - Item 5 - Compton's Cafeteria Riot Landmark Designation: The committee continued this item to the call of the chair without public comment or debate. - Item 6 - Smoke-Free Places Ordinance (Supervisor Melgar): The ordinance would prohibit smoking on bar patios to protect workers and patrons from secondhand smoke. Supervisor Melgar moved to continue it to the call of the chair for further stakeholder engagement. Public comment was heard, with supporters citing public health benefits and opponents citing enforcement concerns for small businesses. Continued unanimously. Key Outcomes - Item 1 (Transportation Code): Passed out of committee (3-0) with positive recommendation to full Board. - Item 2 (Lithium-Ion Batteries): Ordinance amended (3-0) and recommended to full Board (3-0). Supervisor Chen added as co-sponsor. - Item 3 (Non-Residential Conditions of Approval): Continued to call of chair (3-0). - Item 4 (Affordable Housing Hearing): Heard and filed (3-0). The BLA report will inform future policy discussions and ballot measures, including the expanded Housing Trust Fund (November 2026 ballot) and potential municipal bank legislation. - Item 5 (Compton's Cafeteria Riot Landmark): Continued to call of chair (3-0). - Item 6 (Smoke-Free Places): Continued to call of chair (3-0) for further stakeholder collaboration. Next Steps: Items 1 and 2 will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda on June 16, 2026. The committee will continue to work on affordable housing funding strategies, including potential ballot measures and implementation of BLA recommendations.

The Government Audit and Oversight Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, chaired by Supervisor Stephen Sherrill and joined by Vice Chair Mahmood, met on June 4, 2026, to consider 11 items.

Discussion Items - Item 1 – Homeless Children’s Network Mental Health Contract Amendment Dr. Faranaz Farman, Director of the Children Youth Family System of Care at DPH, presented a resolution to amend an agreement with Homeless Children’s Network. The amendment extends the term by one year (to June 30, 2027) and increases the contract amount by approximately $3.25 million, for a new total not to exceed approximately $11.7 million. The program provides culturally congruent behavioral health services to historically underserved children, youth, and families, including outreach, low‑threshold groups, and specialty mental health treatment. The Budget and Legislative Analyst (BLA) reported the program is 60% general fund‑funded and 40% state/federal, and noted the latest monitoring rating was “4 – commendable,” exceeding standards.

The item was forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. - Item 2 – Medical County Inmate Program (MCIP) Agreements Matt Sir, Revenue Cycle and Reimbursement Director at DPH, presented two agreements with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) for the MCIP program. The participation agreement (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2029) allows San Francisco to voluntarily participate, enabling DPH to bill for services provided to inmates at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and other network hospitals, and to share the non‑federal share of costs for services at outside hospitals. The administrative services agreement (same term) requires the city to pay DHCS up to $35,363.08 for San Francisco’s portion of state‑level program administration. DPH requested approval. The item was forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. - Item 3 – Mobile Mammography Van Gift Sabrina Robinson, COO of Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, presented a resolution to accept a capital gift of a mobile mammography van valued at approximately $1.5 million from the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation. The van will be purchased using a cash donation of about $1.6 million from Salesforce Inc. In exchange, the van will be named “ZSFG MAML van Salesforce in partnership with ZSFG and SFGHF for a healthy community” for the period January 1, 2027 – December 31, 2041. The current van is out of service, and the new van will restore mobile mammography services. The item was forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. - Item 4 – Grant for Placement Solutions for Patients Exceeding PSH Capacity Dr. Todd Barrett, Chief Medical Officer of the San Francisco Health Network, presented a grant from Homes for the Homeless Fund LLC (a subsidiary of Housing Accelerator Fund) for $3.75 million over two years (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2028). The grant aims to transform care for behaviorally complex patients whose needs exceed permanent supportive housing (PSH). The program will conduct a system‑wide analysis, create an interdisciplinary team, implement transitional services for a pilot group, and evaluate impact. DPH requested approval. The item was forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. - Items 5–8 – Labor Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and Unrepresented Compensation Artist Graham, Employee Relations Director from the Department of Human Resources, presented four ordinances: - Item 5 & 6: MOUs with the Municipal Executives Association (MEA) for police and fire executives. Changes include aligning merit pay with the city’s Miscellaneous Compensation Plan (MCCP), increasing retention funding for police commanders, and adding incentives for fire executives to develop San Francisco‑specific training programs.

All four items were forwarded to the full board as committee reports with a positive recommendation. - Items 9 & 10 – Treasure Island Infrastructure Revitalization Financing District (IRFD) Expansion Jamie Karubin, Acting Director of the Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA), presented two resolutions. Item 9 is a resolution of intention to add territory to the existing IRFD (originally formed in 2017) to include stage two properties (project areas F, G, H, I) as development occurs. Item 10 authorizes preparation of an appendix to the infrastructure financing plan related to the annexation. Future board actions include a public hearing scheduled for September 15, 2026, at 3 p.m., an election by property owners, approval of the annexation, an amended financing plan, and a maximum bond amount, with final legislative action anticipated in early October 2026. A non‑substantive amendment to Item 9 was made to insert the date and time of the public hearing. Both items were forwarded to the full board with positive recommendations (Item 9 as a committee report as amended). - Item 11 – Code Cleanup Ordinance (Continued) Supervisor Sherrill noted that the ordinance amending multiple codes to modify reporting requirements, remove obsolete programs, and perform cleanup is still being perfected with amendments from city departments. He made a motion to continue the item to the next committee meeting on June 18, 2026. The motion passed 2-0.

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. Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public spoke on any agenda item during the meeting.

No discussion. - Item 2: Community Economic Recovery Hubs Grant Amendment (Bay Area Community Resources) – OEWD presented a request to retroactively increase the contract by $1.5 million for services already provided. The Budget Legislative Analyst (BLA) initially recommended against approval due to concerns about gift card controls, participant data accuracy (the number of participants exactly matched the goal of 7,150, indicating counting stopped once the goal was met), lack of program monitoring, and unclear subcontractors. After discussions, OEWD provided updated information and the BLA revised its recommendation to a policy matter. Supervisor Sauter expressed concerns about monitoring and data integrity, noting gift cards were said not to be used but were, and an unauthorized subcontractor was added. OEWD acknowledged staffing challenges. Supervisor Chen supported the item, citing essential services for immigrant communities. The committee voted 3-0 to send the resolution to the full board without recommendation. - Item 3: Airport Passenger Processing Systems Contract Amendment – SFO presented a $9.7 million increase to extend the contract through 2029.
