File 23-0656 involved a supplemental appropriation ordinance appropriating funds for the Port Commission and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission for FY 2023-24. File 23-0669 proposed amendments to the Annual Salary Ordinance for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's (SFPUC) expenditures would increase by $95.1 million or 5.7 percent, mainly due to power purchase costs. The Port's General Fund budget of $500000, intended to support black-owned businesses, would be removed. The Airport Commission plans to substitute existing positions and add new ones but overall decrease its budget due to reduced debt service and lower costs of services performed by other City Departments.

SFPUC will see a significant increase in expenditures. The Port's budget adjustment reflects new responsibilities for park maintenance and the removal of previously allocated support for black-owned businesses. The Airport's staffing levels would increase by 11 percent over 2019 levels despite not fully recovering in terms of enplanements, though overall budget would decrease.

The SFPUC's expenditure increase is driven by higher power purchase costs. The reasoning for changes in the Port and Airport's budgets relate to reallocation of responsibilities and adjustments in staffing to suit operational needs, despite varying recovery levels post-pandemic.

Recommendation to amend File 23, indicating a need for legislative review and potential modification.

Potential Board consideration for adjusting the Airport’s requested new positions, which suggests a mechanism for oversight and ensuring that staffing levels are suitably aligned with operational needs and financial efficiency.
