健康和無家可歸者、公園與街道債券

健康與復甦債券。為了提供資金用於房地產收購或改善,包括:穩定、改善和永久投資於支持性房屋設施、庇護所和/或服務有精神健康問題者、有物質濫用問題者、和/或無家可歸者之設施;改善公園、開放空間和娛樂設施的無障礙程度、安全和質素;改善本市街道和其他公共通道及相關資產的無障礙程度、安全和狀況;以及為了支付相關費用;三藩市市縣是否應發行4億8750萬元一般義務債券,從發行日起為期至多30年,預估平均稅率為每100元物業估值0.014元, 預計平均年度收入4000萬元,並受到獨立公民監督及定期審計?市府的現行債務管理政策是透過在舊公債清償且稅基增長時發行新債券,以保持用於償還市府一般義務債券的物業稅率低於2006年的稅率,雖然該物業稅率可能因其他因素而有不同。

摘要 由選票簡釋委員會撰寫

現況:市府提供多種項目與服務,包括: 

• 精神健康和無家可歸者項目; 

• 公園、開放空間和娛樂設施;以及

• 街道、路邊坡道和廣場。

建議:提案A是一項債券提案,將授權市府透過發行一般義務債券方式借貸至多4億8750萬元。

債券資金可能有以下開支: 

• 2億700萬元用於精神健康和無家可歸者項目,包括住房、庇護所、社區保健、精神與行為健康設施; 

• 2億3900萬元用於公園、開放空間和娛樂設施; 以及

• 4150萬元用於改善街道、路邊坡道和廣場。

提案A將要求公民一般義務債券監督委員會審查這項債券資金的支出情況。

如有需要,提案A將允許提高物業稅以償還這些債券。市府的政策是限制借貸金額,即新債券須於以往債券還清後才可發行。房東可將物業稅所增部分當中至多50%轉嫁給租客。

投「贊成」票的意思是:如果您投「贊成」票,即表示您同意市府發行4億8750萬元一般義務債券來資助精神健康和無家可歸者項目、公園、開放空間和娛樂設施;以及對街道、路邊坡道和廣場的改善工程。

投「反對」票的意思是:如果您投「反對」票,即表示您反對市府發行這些債券。

市主計官對提案「A」的意見書

市主計官Ben Rosenfield就提案A對本市財政的影響發表以下聲明: 

如果建議的4億8750萬元債券提案獲得通過,並在目前假設的條件下售出,大致費用將如下: 

a) 在2021至2022財政年度(財年),第一期債券發行後,以及在稅率最低年,為發行這項債券提供資金的最佳稅率預估結果是,物業稅率為每100元估值徵收0.00095元(每10萬元則是0.95元)。

b) 在2029至2030財政年度,最後一期債券發行後, 以及在稅率最高年,為發行這項債券提供資金的最佳稅率預估結果是,物業稅稅率為每100元估值徵收0.01402元(每10萬元則是14.02元)。

c) 從2021至2022財年到2052至2053財年,這些債券平均稅率的最佳預估為每100元估值徵收0.01066元(每10萬元則是10.66元)。

d) 基於上述預估,估值為60萬元房屋的業主每年為這些債券支付的年度物業稅費用估計最高約為83.13 元。

債券總償還金額之最佳預估為,包括本金與利息在內,如果建議的4億8750萬元債券全數發行並售出, 將需償還大約9億6000萬元。上述估計僅基於預測, 對市府並無法律約束力。預測和估計可能因債券銷售時間、每筆債券銷售金額,以及在債券償還期限中的實際估值而有所不同。因此,實際稅率和這些稅率的適用年份可能會與上述預估有所差異。市府現行的無約束力債務管理政策是透過在舊公債清償且稅基增長時發行新債券,以保持用於償還市府一般義務債券的物業稅率低於2006年的稅率,雖然該物業稅率可能因其他因素而有不同。

提案「A」如何被列入選票

2020年7月21日,市議會以11票對0票通過將提案A列入選票。市議員的投票情況如下: 

贊成:Fewer、Haney、Mandelman、Mar、Peskin、 Preston、Ronen、Safai、Stefani、Walton、Yee。

反對:無。

本提案需要有66⅔%的贊成票才能獲得通過。

以上陳述為本提案的公正分析。選票摘要中用到的一些名詞請參閱 「名詞解釋」的說明。
贊成提案 A 的論據

投票贊成提案A,三藩市健康與復甦債券! 

提案A──三藩市的健康與復甦債券,在關鍵時刻提出。新型冠狀病毒疫情對健康與經濟帶來嚴峻的衝擊,令本市面臨前所未有的挑戰。 

新型冠狀病毒疫情使本市無家可歸者問題和精神健康危機更加艱難,突顯了我們需要設立更多庇護所、永久支持性房屋,以及增加我們的精神健康資源。 

我們已經看到有將近20萬三藩市居民申請失業金;而隨著人們與家庭在家工作與學習,對安全和無障礙的室外公共空間的需求也日益上升。 

提案A會向以下三個優先範疇提供4億8750萬元資金: 精神健康與無家可歸者;公園與開放空間;以及道路修繕,並同時創造新的就業機會以助快速啟動我們的經濟復甦。 

提案A是一項共同努力的成果,並反映出市府多個部門、市議會以及社區利益相關者的理念。

提案A不會提高稅金,遵循舊債券清償後才發行新債券的市府政策。 

提案A: 

• 撥款用於永久支持性房屋、庇護所,以及提供精神健康服務和物質濫用治療服務的設施。

• 撥款用於改善本市各地的鄰里公園、步道、遊樂場、社區花園和娛樂中心,包括:SOMA區的Gene Friend娛樂中心、灣景區的India Basin、Japantown 和平廣場、Western Addition區的Buchanan Mall、華埠的公園、訪谷區的Herz遊樂場、金門公園及McLaren公園等等。 

• 撥款用於修繕本市基礎設施,包括路面重舖、路邊坡道及廣場,增加安全性和無障礙程度。

• 創造數千個新的就業機會,協助本市經濟復甦。

• 不提高稅金。

投票贊成提案A,對我們所有社區的健康與經濟福祉進行投資。

反駁贊成提案 A 的論據

政客們都有一種短視的潛在特性:選舉週期。他們所做的承諾和空泛的政策都是為求立即效果——為了當前的選票而付出。此舉本身大有問題,因為它罔顧今日的行動會影響數年,甚至持續數十年。提案A的支出將是徒勞無功的,在短期利益的糖衣包藏下的是浪費。

三藩市經濟正處於深度衰退,需要多年時間復甦。市府的財政危機將日益惡化。市府沒有經費支援的退休金責任為36億元,而市府對每名員工退休金福利的成本是每名員工在2021年薪資的25%。三藩市膨脹的官僚體系內有3萬8000多名員工,比Burlingame的人口還多,足夠給每28名三藩市民眾分配一名市府職員。在2016年,平均一名三藩市市府職員的薪酬是10萬8774元加上福利4萬9864元。

提案A的債務加上上升的退休金與附加福利開支,在今天或在未來都無法維持下去。 

投票反對提案A──您的投票至關重要!您的投票將向市長和市議會傳達一個強烈訊息,就是他們的財政政策和浪費的支出令人無法接受。

反對提案 A 的論據

在新型冠狀病毒危機下,我們需要為三藩市民眾提供健康與經濟復甦上的支援,然而這項有缺陷的提案A融資方案對三藩市而言是一個糟糕的協定。 

提案A是一場高風險賭注。市主計官辦公室預計,如果建議的4億8750萬元債券發行並售出,利息與本金總成本將是9億6000萬元。 

錢往哪裡去呢?市長已編列預算如下: 

1650萬元用於應急通訊 

1億8490萬元用於衛生事務 

6180萬元用於糧食保障與人力資源 

1億8290萬元用於住房 

我們為什麼要借貸更多資金支援已從普通基金編列支出預算的服務? 

提案A沒有財務問責,例如以往與提供資金相關提案所使用的公民監督委員會。 

讓我們建立社區,而不是建立債務。市府在負擔數千名退休職員無經費支援的退休金責任之外,無法再負擔更多債務了。投票反對提案A。

反駁反對提案 A 的論據

提案A是一項在財政上負責的提案以及我們必須採取的重要行動,來重新啟動本地經濟和創造薪資優渥的工作,並且投資於我們所有社區的健康與經濟福祉。 

本市的舊債券清償後才發行新債券政策能確保提案A不會對業主調漲稅金。 

所有債券支出都會受到公民一般義務債券監督委員會監管。 

新型冠狀病毒已重創本地經濟,債券提案是一項經證實為有效的振興工具。三藩市債券在經濟大衰退期間曾創造約9500個就業機會,因此我們知道這項提案將能發揮經濟引擎的作用,並同時對本市進行各項基礎設施的改善工作。

提案A對我們的精神健康與支持性房屋基礎設施進行必要改善,以及提供精神健康與物質濫用治療服務,使經歷無家可歸者能獲得他們需要的幫助。 

提案A對我們的公園、娛樂中心和廣場進行需要的改善,為各鄰里的三藩市民眾提升安全室外空間的無障礙程度。隨著我們在家工作與學習,公園和遊樂場對於保持我們的身心健康比以往更加重要。 

提案A提供資金用於修繕本市基礎設施,包括路面重舖、路邊坡道以及廣場,增加安全性和無障礙程度。 

投票贊成提案A,幫助重新啟動本市經濟以及創造就業機會,並投資於所有三藩市民眾的健康與福祉。

非裔美國人領袖支持三藩市健康與復甦債券 

黑人的命也是命。

由於系統性的種族主義、負擔能力、健康差異和流離失所,三藩市的黑人人口在數代以來不斷減少。「三藩市健康與復甦債券,提案A」是我們現在可以採取的重要的一步來創造高薪工作,並開始讓人們重返工作崗位;提供更多的精神健康服務和永久的支援性住房。提案A提供資金改善遊樂場和公園,包括在BayView的India Basin公園新建一個海濱公園,以及在受到COVID疫情重創而需要健康的戶外空間的社區修繕早該修繕的公園、開放空間和娛樂設施。為了我們社區的健康,我們呼籲您支持提案A。

為了LGBTQ健康對提案A投贊成票 

儘管我們在國際上是尋求出櫃和自尊者的知名避風港,但是我們的男女同性戀、雙性戀和變性者(LGBTQ)兄弟姐妹仍然必須處理有關歧視、暴力、仇恨和騷擾的問題。這些因素往往會導致憂鬱、焦慮、恐慌症、自殺念頭和藥物濫用。根據地平線基金會(Horizons Foundation)最近的一項調查,三藩市灣區一半的LGBTQ受訪者認為,高昂的醫療費用以及無法獲得醫療保健服務,是他們獲得幫助和支援的一個系統性障礙。 

提案A將為結構性支援提供資金,以幫助滿足本市的精神健康和藥物使用需求。提案A將會優先考慮擴大直接交付服務、治療、居住設施、診斷護理和支持門診病人的機會及可負擔性。為了我們三藩市LGBTQ家庭的健康,我們極力建議您支持提案A。

早在COVID-19疫情發生之前,我們的城市就已陷入了公共醫療服務和住房危機。在三藩市,每天晚上都有大約八千人無家可歸,此外還有四千多名居民面臨了心理健康問題和藥物使用障礙。在我們與這場疫情奮戰之時,我們知道必須進一步加強我們的公共安全網。

我們多年來在社區的直接服務顯示,作為一個城市,我們需要這樣的服務。在提案A健康與復甦債券中,有2.07億美元專門用來解決醫療和住房需求,將大幅地改善本市應對這些危機的能力。三藩市將能增加醫療保健直接服務、治療計畫、住宅設施、診斷護理和門診就醫的機會和負擔能力。此外,更多鄰居獲得永久性和過渡性住房將得到改善。我們敦促您投票贊成提案A。

COVID-19疫情凸顯了對公園和開放空間的需求

公園和開放空間從未像在COVID-19疫情期間這麼重要。在戶外進行保持社交距離的聚會和社區活動,是本市復甦的命脈。

美國國家娛樂和公園協會(NRPA)最近對美國成年人進行調查,發現83%的人認為公園和開放空間在COVID-19疫情期間至關重要。我們一直堅信本市的公園和娛樂區對身心健康都有好處。現在比以往任何時候都更清楚,這是改善本市及其社區的重要民用基礎設施。提案A將加強我們的公園系統,供今天和後代使用。我們敦促您投票贊成提案A。

反對提案A的付費論據

對提案A投反對票!太荒唐了!

三藩市納稅人將背負更多債務。

在全球疫情期間的這筆4.875億美元債券,暴露了市政廳對納稅人金錢的渴欲。他們根本停不下來!

根據市主計官的統計,連本帶利的債務總額為9.6億美元。 

在2000年、2008年和2012年選民通過債券後,這個「包羅萬象」的債券在無家可歸者服務上花了更多錢,在街道清潔上花了更多錢 – 這是一個充滿貪汙和濫用的專案,以及在公園上花了更多錢。

我們的無家可歸服務預算從2011年到2020年幾乎增加了三倍,達到3.64億美元,在目前疫情預算中包括了未來兩年的額外一億美元! 

雇員和養老金成本的升高,選民批准的預留款和州政府規定的政策變化,預計將在未來幾年增加開支。

現在不是三藩市承擔更多債務的時候。 

打破什麼都依賴我們辛苦賺來的稅款的惡性循環。 

投票反對提案A!

對提案A的付費論據

幾十年來,我們的城市一直在努力為那些受住房危機和精神健康問題影響的人提供住房和照顧。根據市主計官辦公室的估計,用額外9.6億美元的債務束縛住戶和房屋提供者,以換取4.87億美元的短期收入,並不是一個解決方案,而是在潰爛的傷口上貼一個拙劣的創傷貼。

要解決這場危機,需要的不是稅收資助的政客和官僚,而是創造性和打破常規的思維。我們的社區應該有機會挺身應對困難,就像以前多次那樣。只有當市府取消對建造房屋和經營小企業的過多限制,以滿足我們最脆弱的社區成員的許多需求時,這個機會才會出現。作為選民,我們應該毫不退讓。 

請對提案A投反對票,傳達一個強烈的資訊:選民不會容忍更多相同的失敗政策。

法律文本

Ordinance calling and providing for a special election to be held in the City and County of San Francisco on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, for the purpose of submitting to San Francisco voters a proposition to incur bonded indebtedness of not-to-exceed $487,500,000 to finance the acquisition or improvement of real property, including: facilities to house and/or deliver services for persons experiencing mental health challenges, substance use disorder, and/or homelessness; parks, open space, and recreation facilities, including green and climate resilient infrastructure; and streets, curb ramps, street structures and plazas, and related costs necessary or convenient for the foregoing purposes; authorizing landlords to pass-through 50% of the resulting property tax increase to residential tenants under Administrative Code Chapter 37; providing for the levy and collection of taxes to pay both principal and interest on such Bonds; incorporating the provisions of the Administrative Code relating to the Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee’s review of Bond expenditures; setting certain procedures and requirements for the election; adopting findings under the California Environmental Quality Act; and finding that the proposed Bonds are in conformity with the General Plan, and with the eight priority policies of Planning Code, Section 101.1(b).

NOTE: Unchanged Code text and uncodified text are in plain Arial font.

Be it ordained by the People of the City and County of San Francisco:

Section 1. Findings.

A. According to the City and County of San Francisco (“City”) Point-in-Time Count conducted in January 2019, about 8,000 people experience homelessness in the City on any given night, and over the course of an entire year, many more people experience homelessness.

B. According to Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (“HSH”) records, in Fiscal Year 2018-2019, HSH served about 18,000 people experiencing homelessness, and of those, 4,000 have a history of both mental health and substance use disorders.

C. An estimated 24,500 people inject drugs in the City and recent data indicate that 39 percent of people who inject drugs in the City reported injecting methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is increasingly being consumed in public spaces, and residents are more regularly encountering individuals who present challenging psychosis-related behaviors or experience moments of mental health crisis.

D. The City, through HSH, currently offers temporary shelter to approximately 3,400 people per night through shelters, Navigation Centers, stabilization beds, and transitional housing -- 566 additional beds have opened since October 2018 and another 499 are in development -- but additional shelter beds are needed to match the waitlist for individuals looking to access shelter.

E. The City administers locally and federally funded supportive housing to provide long-term affordable housing with on-site social services to people exiting chronic homelessness through a portfolio that includes renovated Single Room Occupancy hotels, newly constructed units, and apartment buildings that operate under a master lease between private property owners and the City (“Permanent Supportive Housing”), but the City does not have a sufficient supply of Permanent Supportive Housing units to meet the demand.

///

F. DPH provides behavioral health services in a number of settings and through a number of different mechanisms including at existing facilities such as San Francisco General Hospital, the Behavioral Health Access Center, Residential Care Facilities, community clinics, and through contracts with nonprofit service providers.

G. When there is not enough capacity at any one level of care or facility, longer wait times for services have a detrimental effect on the ability of people to heal and become healthier, and the City has an inadequate number of beds to help those recovering from substance use, mental health, or a dual diagnosis, with some residential care facilities having wait lists of up to seven months as of 2019.

H. Limited state and federal resources and the high cost of construction put a greater burden on local governments to contribute their own limited resources to produce more facilities to serve those struggling with behavioral health and substance use disorders, temporary shelters, and permanent supportive housing, and consequently the City’s supply of these resources has not kept pace with demand.

I. The proposed Health and Recovery Bond (“Bond”) will provide a portion of the critical funding necessary to acquire or improve real property, including transitional and permanent supportive housing and shelters, and existing and potential new behavioral health facilities and institutions.

J. On March 16, 2020, the Public Health Officers of six Bay Area counties jointly issued a Shelter in Place Public Health Order to protect the health and well-being of Bay Area residents in the face of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (“Public Health Emergency”).

K. The Public Health Emergency brought with it City unemployment levels approaching 10% within three weeks of the first Shelter in Place Public Health Order and full or partial job loss impacts on industries with an estimated 166,936 employees, creating an urgent need to invest in projects that create jobs and support the City’s economic recovery.

L. The City’s most recent 10-year capital plan identifies a deferred maintenance backlog of $799 million for streets and General Fund facilities, and the Recreation and Parks Department’s more recent facilities condition assessment shows $950 million in deferred maintenance.

M. Infrastructure investment is a known and tested jobs stimulus strategy with a strong multiplier effect, estimated at 5.93 jobs for every million dollars in construction spending according to the REMI Policy Insight model.

N. Since 2005, the City has engaged in regular, long-term capital planning to identify and advance shovel-ready projects that deliver improvements in line with adopted funding principles that prioritize legal and regulatory mandates, life safety and resilience, asset preservation and sustainability, programmatic and planned needs, and economic development.

O. Parks, recreation facilities, open spaces, streets, curb ramps, street structures, and plazas are all essential infrastructure for which the City is responsible and must maintain a state of good repair for public health, safety, and equitable accessibility.

P. Parks, recreation facilities, and open spaces offer space to relax and enjoy nature and places to play and exercise, increase residents’ quality of life, support good mental and physical health, and can help people deal with trauma or find comfort in a time of distress, as a growing body of work shows that time spent outdoors in natural environments can help lower stress, depression, anxiety, diabetes, risk of preterm birth, high blood pressure, asthma, stroke, heart disease and other health improvements.

Q. During the Public Health Emergency, City residents have sought solace and refuge in City parks and open spaces and heavily utilized these spaces for exercise and as an alternative to private back yards, and more so in denser neighborhoods and in Equity Zones.

R. During the Public Health Emergency, many of the City’s recreation facilities served as childcare centers for emergency and healthcare workers, helping to alleviate child care concerns for these important professionals.

S. A recent survey by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) found that eighty-three percent (83%) of American adults agree that visiting their local parks, trails and open spaces is essential for their mental and physical well-being during the COVID-19 Emergency, and fifty nine percent (59%) said that access to these amenities is very or extremely essential to their mental and physical health during this crisis.

T. Additionally, Urban agriculture provides proven benefits to San Franciscans by connecting City residents to the broader food system, providing green space and recreation, providing ecological benefits and green infrastructure, building community, and offering food access, public health, and workforce development potential, in particular for low-income and vulnerable communities; and

U. A park system as large and diverse as the City’s -- over 220 parks spread over 3,400 acres, and containing 181 playgrounds, 82 recreation centers and clubhouses, 37 community gardens, 29 off-leash dog areas, 9 swimming pools, and numerous tennis courts, ball fields, soccer fields, and other sports and athletic venues -- requires continued and consistent investment to address dilapidated playgrounds, worn out playfields, run-down buildings, and crumbling outdoor courts.

V. The City is responsible for the state of good repair of more than 1,200 miles of streets, approximately 50,000 curb ramp locations, 371 street structures, and 9 plazas, which are heavily used and have longstanding deferred maintenance needs.

W. Streets, curb ramps, street structures, and plazas connect people to jobs, hospitals, shopping centers, and transit -- places that are vital to daily life -- and providing smooth and pot-hole free streets and pedestrian right-of-way is essential to reducing the costs of road-induced damage, preventing accidents for bicyclists and drivers, and creating safe passage for pedestrians.

X. City staff have identified and planned several park, open space, and recreation facilities improvement projects to address public safety hazards, improve waterfront access, improve disabled access, enhance the condition of neighborhood and citywide park, recreation, and open space facilities and lands, address deferred maintenance, support population growth, enhance green infrastructure, improve climate resiliency and seismic safety, ensure equitable access to high-quality open spaces, and other issues facing the City’s park system that can put people to work quickly and support local economic recovery.

Y. The Bond will provide a portion of the critical funding necessary to acquire or improve real property, including to improve the safety and quality of neighborhood, citywide and waterfront parks and open spaces and recreation facilities and urban agriculture sites under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Park Commission.

Z. City staff have identified street repaving, curb ramp, street structures, and plaza improvement programs to address public safety hazards, reduce the backlog of deferred maintenance, improve disabled access, and equitably improve the public right-of-way that can similarly put people to work quickly.

AA. The Bond will provide a portion of the funding necessary to acquire or improve real property, including to improve access for the disabled and the condition of the City’s streets and other public right-of-way and related assets.

BB. City staff have identified a capital improvement need totaling $487,500,000 in projects and programs relating to acquiring or improving real property, including to stabilize, improve, and make permanent investments in permanent and transitional supportive housing facilities, shelters, and/or facilities that deliver services to persons experiencing mental health challenges, substance use disorder, and/or homelessness; improve the safety and quality of neighborhood, citywide, and waterfront parks and open spaces and recreation facilities under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Park Commission; and improve access for the disabled and the condition of the City’s streets and other public right-of-way and related assets (as further defined in Section 3 below). 

CC. The proposed Bond will allow the City to finance the acquisition or improvement of the Project (as defined in Section 3 herein) in the most cost-effective manner possible.

DD. The proposed Bond is recommended by the City’s 10-year capital plan, approved each odd-numbered year by the Mayor of the City and this Board of Supervisors of the City (“Board”)

Section 2. A special election is called and ordered to be held in the City on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the City a proposition to incur bonded indebtedness of the City for the programs described in the amount and for the purposes stated (herein collectively,  “Project”):

“HEALTH AND RECOVERY BondS.  $487,500,000 to acquire or improve real property, including to: stabilize, improve, and make permanent investments in permanent and transitional supportive housing facilities, shelters, and/or facilities that deliver services to persons experiencing mental health challenges, substance use disorder, and/or homelessness; improve the accessibility, safety and quality of parks, open spaces and recreation facilities; improve the accessibility, safety and condition of the City’s streets and other public right-of-way and related assets; and to pay related costs; with a duration of up to 30 years from the time of issuance, an estimated average tax rate of $0.014/$100 of assessed property value, and projected average annual revenues of $40,000,000, all subject to independent citizen oversight and regular audits; and authorizing landlords to pass-through to residential tenants in units subject to Administrative Code Chapter 37 (the “Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance”) 50% of the increase in the real property taxes attributable to the cost of the repayment of such Bonds.”

The special election called and ordered to be held hereby shall be referred to in this ordinance as the “Bond Special Election.”

Section 3. PROPOSED PROGRAM.  Contractors and City departments shall comply with all applicable City laws when awarding contracts or performing work funded with the proceeds of Bonds authorized by this measure, including:

A. FACILITIES TO DELIVER SERVICES FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, AND/OR HOMELESSNESS:  $207,000,000 of Bond proceeds will be allocated to acquire or improve real property, including but not limited to finance the construction, acquisition, development, improvement, expansion, rehabilitation, and preservation of priority behavioral health investments such as permanent and transitional supportive housing units, shelters, locked acute and sub-acute treatment facilities, psychiatric skilled nursing facilities, residential treatment facilities, residential stepdown facilities, behavioral health respite facilities, detox and sobering facilities, a new centralized Behavioral Health Access Center, existing community health facilities that deliver behavioral health services to vulnerable populations, and facilities for long-term placements such as board and care and other residential care.

B. PARK, OPEN SPACE, AND RECREATION FACILITIES:  $239,000,000 of Bond proceeds will be allocated to acquire or improve real property, including but not limited to finance the construction, acquisition, development, improvement, expansion, rehabilitation, and preservation of neighborhood, citywide, and waterfront parks and open spaces and recreation facilities and urban agriculture sites under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Park Commission.

This Bond finances both specific projects at specific locations and also sets up a funding mechanism to be used for certain kinds of work where specific projects at specified locations are not yet identified but will be proposed following a design and planning process.  The Neighborhood Parks allotment includes identified projects located at India Basin, Gene Friend Recreation Center, Herz Playground Recreation Center, Buchanan Street Mall, and Japantown Peace Plaza.  The proposed Park, Open Space and Recreation Facilities funding can be summarized as follows:

1. Neighborhood Parks = $101,000,000

2. Citywide Parks = $18,000,000

3. Recovery Parks = $86,000,000

4. Playgrounds = $9,000,000

5. Sustainability = $14,000,000

6. Community Opportunity Fund = $6,000,000

7. Trails = $1,000,000

8. Community Gardens = $600,000

9. Contingency = $1,400,000

10. Administration = $2,000,000

Total Bond Funding for Park, Open Space, and Recreation Facilities = $239,000,000

C. STREETS, CURB RAMPS, STREET STRUCTURES AND PLAZAS:  $41,500,000 of Bond proceeds will be allocated to acquire or improve real property, including but not limited to finance the repaving and reconstruction of roads, the rehabilitation and seismic improvement of street structures and plazas, and the installation and renovation of curb ramps.

D. CITIZENS’ OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.  A portion of Bond proceeds shall be used to perform audits of Bond expenditures implied by or necessary incident to the acquisition or improvement of real property for the Project, as further described in Section 4 and Section 16 herein. 

Section 4. BOND ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES.

The Bonds shall include the following administrative rules and principles:

A. OVERSIGHT.  The proposed Bond funds shall be subject to approval processes and rules described in the San Francisco Charter and Administrative Code. Pursuant to Administrative Code Section 5.31, the Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee shall conduct an annual review of Bond spending, and shall provide an annual report of the Bond program to the Mayor and the Board.

B. TRANSPARENCY.  The City shall create and maintain a web page outlining and describing the bond program, progress, and activity updates. The City shall also hold an annual public hearing and review on the bond program and its implementation before the Capital Planning Committee and the Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee.

Section 5. The estimated cost of the bond-financed portion of the project described in Section 2 above was fixed by the Board by the following resolution and in the amount specified below:

Resolution No.   317-20 , on file with the Clerk of the Board in File No. 200479 $487,500,000.

Such resolution was passed by two-thirds or more of the Board and approved by the Mayor. In such resolution it was recited and found by the Board that the sum of money specified is too great to be paid out of the ordinary annual income and revenue of the City in addition to the other annual expenses or other funds derived from taxes levied for those purposes and will require expenditures greater than the amount allowed by the annual tax levy.

The method and manner of payment of the estimated costs described in this ordinance are by the issuance of Bonds by the City not exceeding the principal amount specified.

Such estimate of costs as set forth in such resolution is adopted and determined to be the estimated cost of such bond-financed improvements and financing, respectively.

Section 6. The Bond Special Election shall be held and conducted and the votes received and canvassed, and the returns made and the results ascertained, determined, and declared as provided in this ordinance and in all particulars not recited in this ordinance such election shall be held according to the laws of the State of California (“State”) and the Charter of the City (“Charter”) and any regulations adopted under State law or the Charter, providing for and governing elections in the City, and the polls for such election shall be and remain open during the time required by such laws and regulations.

Section 7. The Bond Special Election is consolidated with the General Election scheduled to be held in the City on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 (“General Election”). The voting precincts, polling places, and officers of election for the General Election are hereby adopted, established, designated, and named, respectively, as the voting precincts, polling places, and officers of election for the Bond Special Election called, and reference is made to the notice of election setting forth the voting precincts, polling places, and officers of election for the General Election by the Director of Elections to be published in the official newspaper of the City on the date required under the laws of the State.

Section 8. The ballots to be used at the Bond Special Election shall be the ballots to be used at the General Election. The word limit for ballot propositions imposed by Municipal Elections Code Section 510 is waived. On the ballots to be used at the Bond Special Election, in addition to any other matter required by law to be printed thereon, shall appear the following as a separate proposition:

“HEALTH AND RECOVERY BONDS.  To finance the acquisition or improvement of real property, including to: stabilize, improve, and make permanent investments in supportive housing facilities, shelters, and/or facilities that deliver services to persons experiencing mental health challenges, substance use disorder, and/or homelessness; improve the accessibility, safety and quality of parks, open spaces and recreation facilities; improve the accessibility, safety and condition of the City’s streets and other public right-of-way and related assets; and to pay related costs; shall the City and County of San Francisco issue $487,500,000 in general obligation bonds with a duration of up to 30 years from the time of issuance, an estimated average tax rate of $0.014/$100 of assessed property value, and projected average annual revenues of $40,000,000, subject to independent citizen oversight and regular audits?”

The City’s current debt management policy is to keep the property tax rate for City general obligation bonds below the 2006 rate by issuing new bonds as older ones are retired and the tax base grows, though this property tax rate may vary based on other factors.

Each voter to vote in favor of the foregoing bond proposition shall mark the ballot in the location corresponding to a “YES” vote for the proposition, and to vote against the proposition shall mark the ballot in the location corresponding to a “NO” vote for the proposition.

Section 9. If at the Bond Special Election it shall appear that two-thirds of all the voters voting on the proposition voted in favor of and authorized the incurring of bonded indebtedness for the purposes set forth in such proposition, then such proposition shall have been accepted by the electors, and the Bonds authorized shall be issued upon the order of the Board. Such Bonds shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding that permitted by law.

The votes cast for and against the proposition shall be counted separately and when two-thirds of the qualified electors, voting on the proposition, vote in favor, the proposition shall be deemed adopted.

Section 10. The actual expenditure of Bond proceeds provided for in this ordinance shall be net of financing costs.

///

Section 11. For the purpose of paying the principal and interest on the Bonds, the Board shall, at the time of fixing the general tax levy and in the manner for such general tax levy provided, levy and collect annually each year until such Bonds are paid, or until there is a sum in the Treasury of the City, or other account held on behalf of the Treasurer of the City, set apart for that purpose to meet all sums coming due for the principal and interest on the Bonds, a tax sufficient to pay the annual interest on such Bonds as the same becomes due and also such part of the principal thereof as shall become due before the proceeds of a tax levied at the time for making the next general tax levy can be made available for the payment of such principal.

Section 12. This ordinance shall be published in accordance with any State law requirements, and such publication shall constitute notice of the Bond Special Election and no other notice of the Bond Special Election hereby called need be given.

Section 13. The Board, having reviewed the proposed legislation, makes the following findings in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), California Public Resources Code, Sections 21000 et seq., the CEQA Guidelines, 15 Cal. Administrative Code, Sections 15000 et seq., ("CEQA Guidelines"), and San Francisco Administrative Code, Chapter 31. The Board, finds, affirms and declares:

A. FACILITIES TO DELIVER SERVICES FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, AND/OR HOMELESSNESS:  The proposed funding described in Section 3A of this Ordinance is excluded from CEQA because such funding is not defined as a “project” under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), but is the creation of a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific projects at any specific locations.

///

///

B. PARK, OPEN SPACE, AND RECREATION FACILITIES

(i)  For the improvements to the India Basin Open Space (as defined in Section 3B of this ordinance), the Board of Supervisors, in Motion No. 18-136, affirmed certification of the India Basin Mixed-Use Project Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number 2016062003) and, in Ordinance No. 252-18, adopted findings under CEQA related to approvals in furtherance of the project and Development Agreement, including adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), and a Statement of Overriding Considerations. The Planning Department determined that no further environmental review for this proposal is required because there are no changes to the approved Project or its surrounding circumstances that would necessitate additional environmental review, for the reasons set forth in its Memorandum dated June 19, 2020.  The findings contained in Ordinance No. 258-18, including the MMRP, and the Planning Department Memorandum dated June 19, 2020, are hereby incorporated into this Ordinance as though fully set forth herein.  For purposes of this Ordinance, the Board relies on said actions and their supporting documents, copies of which are in Board of Supervisors File Nos. 180842 and 180681 and incorporates these documents by reference;

(ii)  Four other Neighborhood Park projects, the Gene Friend Recreation Center, the Herz Playground Recreational Center, Buchanan Street Mall, and the Japantown Peace Plaza, each have been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA.  The separate projects located at the Gene Friend Recreation Center and the Herz Recreational Center were each determined to be exempt as Category 32 exemptions for Infill Development Projects, and the separate projects located at the Buchanan Street Mall and the Japantown Peace Plaza were each determined to be exempt as a Category 1 exemption as a minor alteration to an existing facility, with Buchanan Street Mall also determined to be exempt as a Category 4 exemption as a minor alteration to existing land, as set forth in the Planning Department’s memorandum dated June 19, 2020, which determinations are hereby affirmed and adopted by this Board for the reasons set forth in the Planning Department’s Memorandum dated June 19, 2020; and 

(iii)  The remaining proposed Parks, Open Space and Recreation Facilities funding identified in Section 3B2 to 3B10 (the “Program Funding”) is excluded from CEQA because the Program Funding is not defined as a “project” under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), but is the creation of a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific projects at any specific locations.

C. STREETS, CURB RAMPS, STREET STRUCTURES AND PLAZAS:  The proposed funding described in Section 3C of this Ordinance is excluded from CEQA because such funding is not defined as a “project” under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), but is the creation of a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific projects at any specific locations.

D. CITIZENS’ OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE:  The funding described in Section 3D of this Ordinance is excluded from CEQA because the funding is not defined as a “project” under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), but is organizational activity that does not result in a direct or indirect impact on the environment.

Section 14. The Board finds and declares that the proposed Bonds (a) were referred to the Planning Department in accordance with Section 4.105 of the San Francisco Charter and Section 2A.53(f) of the Administrative Code, (b) are in conformity with the priority policies of Section 101.1(b) of the San Francisco Planning Code, and (c) are consistent with the City’s General Plan, and adopts the findings of the Planning Department, as set forth in the General Plan Referral Report dated May 15, 2020, a copy of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board in File No. 200478 and incorporates such findings by this reference.

///

Section 15. Under Section 53410 of the California Government Code, the Bonds shall be for the specific purpose authorized in this ordinance and the proceeds of such Bonds will be applied only for such specific purpose. The City will comply with the requirements of Sections 53410(c) and 53410(d) of the California Government Code.

Section 16. The Bonds are subject to, and incorporate by reference, the applicable provisions of Administrative Code Sections 5.30-5.36 (the “Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee”). Under Administrative Code Section 5.31, to the extent permitted by law, 0.1% of the gross proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited in a fund established by the Controller’s Office and appropriated by the Board of Supervisors at the direction of the Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee to cover the costs of such committee.

Section 17. The time requirements specified in Administrative Code Section 2.34 are waived.

Section 18. The City hereby declares its official intent to reimburse prior expenditures of the City incurred or expected to be incurred prior to the issuance and sale of any series of the Bonds in connection with the Project. The Board hereby declares the City’s intent to reimburse the City with the proceeds of the Bonds for expenditures with respect to the Project (the “Expenditures” and each, an “Expenditure”) made on and after that date that is no more than 60 days prior to the passage of this ordinance. The City reasonably expects on the date hereof that it will reimburse the Expenditures with the proceeds of the Bonds.

Each Expenditure was and will be either (a) of a type properly chargeable to a capital account under general federal income tax principles (determined in each case as of the date of the Expenditure), (b) a cost of issuance with respect to the Bonds, or (c) a nonrecurring item that is not customarily payable from current revenues. The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Bonds expected to be issued for the Project is $487,500,000. The City shall make a reimbursement allocation, which is a written allocation by the City that evidences the City’s use of proceeds of the applicable series of Bonds to reimburse an Expenditure, no later than 18 months after the later of the date on which the Expenditure is paid or the related portion of the Project is placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more than three years after the date on which the Expenditure is paid. The City recognizes that exceptions are available for certain “preliminary expenditures,” costs of issuance, certain de minimis amounts, expenditures by “small issuers” (based on the year of issuance and not the year of expenditure) and Expenditures for construction projects of at least five years.

Section 19. Landlords may pass through to residential tenants under the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Administrative Code Chapter 37) 50% of any property tax increase that may result from the issuance of Bonds authorized by this ordinance.  The City may enact ordinances authorizing tenants to seek waivers from the pass-through based on financial hardship.

Section 20. The appropriate officers, employees, representatives, and agents of the City are hereby authorized and directed to do everything necessary or desirable to accomplish the calling and holding of the Bond Special Election, and to otherwise carry out the provisions of this ordinance.

Section 21. Documents referenced in this ordinance are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 200478, which is hereby declared to be a part of this ordinance as if set forth fully herein.
