San Francisco Board of Supervisors approves 2010-11 budget
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 10-1 late Tuesday to approve $6.5 billion budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year.
Mayor Gavin Newsom submitted a proposed budget on June 1, which proposed closing a $482.7 million deficit, but supervisors were not pleased with the cuts made to health and human services.
The sides held five hours of talks during the board’s recess Tuesday as supervisors met with the mayor’s administration to restore funding to social-service programs.
Around 10 p.m., the supervisors returned, along with the mayor’s budget director, Greg Wagner, to say that $7.85 million would be restored to health and human services.
“It was a monumental effort,” Supervisor John Avalos was quoted as saying in the San Francisco Examiner.
The only dissenting vote came from Supervisor Chris Daly.
