By agreeing to leave Breed’s key priorities in the $14 billion budget mostly untouched, supervisors won the mayor’s support for taking on $112 million of debt to develop, buy and repair affordable housing throughout The City.
The tweaks recommended by the committee allow the board to redirect $58 million in funding over the two-year budget cycle to community organizations and members’ own priorities, ranging from the operation of public restrooms to expansion of pickle ball courts. Breed’s budget proposed holding eight police academies over the next two years to fill 200 vacancies. The deal struck by supervisors would put 25% of the police department’s overtime budget in reserve, as well as withhold funding for one of the four academies planned in the 2023-2024 fiscal year.
President Shamann Walton sought to cut the number of proposed police academies, while Supervisor Dean Preston proposed withholding $50 million from the police department until it demonstrates it can improve transparency and reduce racial disparities in policing. Recent data showed San Francisco police use force on Black people 12 times as often as they do on white people, and five times more in Hispanic people.
