Resolution retroactively authorizing the Office of Economic and Workforce Development to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $496,684 from the James Irvine Foundation for the Public Workforce Capacity Fund, during the grant period of November 1, 2024, through November 1, 2026.
How it got here
The legislation originated from a grant awarded to the Office of Economic and Workforce Development by the James Irvine Foundation to enhance workforce capacity for low-income and immigrant workers.
The James Irvine Foundation notified the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) that their proposal for the Public Workforce Capacity Fund was recommended for funding.
OEWD began the process to accept and expend the grant, which had a start date of November 1, 2024, but did not secure all necessary approvals by that date.
OEWD issued a statement explaining the need for retroactive approval due to the timing of the grant award and the initiation of the accept and expend process.
The resolution to accept and expend the grant was introduced to the Board of Supervisors.
The Budget and Finance Committee recommended the resolution for approval.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution to retroactively authorize the acceptance and expenditure of the grant.
The Mayor approved the resolution, finalizing the authorization for the grant.
