The San Francisco County government meeting on July 4, 2025, focused on significant financial discrepancies involving the now-dissolved organization SF Safe. A startling revelation emerged regarding unaccounted expenses, initially estimated at $8.09 million, which were later clarified to include a minimum of $700,000 attributed to theft.

During the meeting, officials discussed the implications of these findings, emphasizing the need for accountability and oversight. The police department's contract with SF Safe, which totaled over $5.3 million from July 2018 to March 2023, was a central topic. An audit conducted by the city controller's office highlighted that the police department failed to adequately review expenses, leading to the approval of ineligible and unsupported costs.

The meeting also addressed the status of SF Safe's board members, with plans for future testimonies from former president Dan Lawson and treasurer Tom Yeh. Concerns were raised about the treatment of SF Safe staff, many of whom were reportedly unpaid due to mismanagement by the executive director and insufficient board oversight.

As the investigation continues, the city services auditors division is expected to provide further insights into the financial practices of SF Safe and the police department's oversight. The meeting underscored the importance of transparency and accountability in managing public funds, with officials committed to addressing these issues in future sessions.
