San Francisco – The Board of Supervisor San Francisco is ready to give the newly elected Mayor of Daniel Lurie greater force and flexibility to accelerate the city’s response to the crisis of Fentanil, which turned the sidewalks in the outdoor and homeless.
Legislation, which will vote on Tuesday, eliminates competitive competition for some contracts and enables the administration to request private donations for quick addition of 1,500 beds for shelter and employ more professionals for public health and health in behavioral situations. It is the first part of the legislation for Lurie, heir to Levi Strauss and Against Poverty DownProfit Founder Whoever never held the election office while the candidacy candidacy for the piercing of London breed last year.
The proposal already has six votes needed to pass and are likely to pick up more votes on Tuesday.
The 11-member committee determined by supervisory powers for efforts without a specific plan or measurement of responsibilities emphasizes how desperate supervisors for the solution. It also signals their embrace – for now – a political outsider who advocated that cooperation will cooperate in order to create joint solutions.
Supervisor Connie Chan said last week in the budgetary and financial board, she cares that the board control helps to carry money for the taxpayer just and transparently. But she also said it was a “truly unseen time” that requires unusual measures, and appreciated the will of the mayor for compromise. The breed had a dark relationship with the progressive board members, included their progressive board members.
San Francisco is a long known for his liberal politics, but Establishment of tents for homeless and public use of drugs During the pandemic on Covid-19. The overdose of deaths subdued on cheap and powerful fentanil has reached a record high in San Francisco of over 800 2323.
In response, frustrated residents voted to improve police authority and supported Crakdowns on the street homeless. They also chose moderate Democrats into the Committee.
Luriev proposal would allow the city to bypass the competitive superstress and procurement procedure for contracts, grants and leases related to addiction, homelessness and public employment. City departments can sign new leases without the approval of the board. He wants to open a 24-hour draining center that would be friendly for the police and an alternative to prison.
Supervisors would only be 45 days to vote on contracts up to $ 25 million – down from the original $ 50 million proposed by the Mayor – or give up their supervision. Accelerated contracting would advocate for sunset in one year, down from the original five.
San Francisco Foundation opposes the proposal because Mitric and details lacks, such as the way it would actually reduce the use of Fentanil, said Laura Thomas, a non-profit expert policy and a higher director of HIV And Damage reduction policy.
He sets the mayor desire for multiple housing and treatment services, but hopes to support policies to force people in treatment, which has shown that it is inefficient and often counterproductive.
“We want to know more about what the proposal is,” Thomas said on Monday. “We set the notes of concern and want to know more information before we can support it.”
On Wednesday, the Budget and Financial Committee, the legislative analyst Nicolas Menard warned that the renunciation of competing offers is likely to increase the costs of services and “create waste opportunities, scams and abuse.” Fiscal influence is not known, but grants and budget contracts for affected city departments are just over $ 1 billion.
“I have to be very clear to give up here a lot,” he said.
Still, he kicked out the board in the Full Board in unanimous recommendations in the statement later that day, Lurie said that with the Ordinance “we no longer look at the crisis of Fentanil like the emergency crisis,” he said. “This is a new era in town hall.”
