Supervisor Ahsha Safaí-led hearings last month produced subpoenas after witnesses failed to appear; at the July 17 session, former treasurer Rick Hutchinson, former CEO Drew Becker and interim CEO Robert Ogilvy answered questions from Supervisors Dean Walton, Jackie Fielder and others. Ogilvy said the Alliance had about $1.1 million in the bank when the board voted to wind down operations — roughly $800,000 held in restricted accounts and about $300,000 unrestricted — and that the organization’s records show at least $5.4 million in obligations to partner groups. Multiple public commenters and witnesses said they have lost smaller sums ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

Why it matters: The Parks Alliance served as fiscal sponsor for dozens of small “friends of” groups and for larger capital projects including Crane Cove Park. Local volunteers and small nonprofits say funds they raised or expected for specific park improvements, program reimbursements and payroll were not made available in time — and, in some cases, not at all. Several city agencies, including the Port of San Francisco and the Recreation and Park Department, are now reviewing agreements and payments that relied on the Alliance as a fiscal intermediary.

What witnesses said
Rick Hutchinson, who served as Parks Alliance treasurer from 2020 until the organization wound down in 2025, told the committee he and the board had worked with outside accountants and consultants once cash-flow problems surfaced. Hutchinson said the board moved to “lock down” restricted funds once it learned they might have been used inappropriately and that the board then tried to preserve funds for partner projects and payroll while it pursued fundraising and restructuring.

Former CEO Drew Becker, who resigned in February 2025, said he was blindsided by the extent of the financial problems. Becker told supervisors that he relied on his finance staff and outside auditors and that he did not know restricted funds were being used for general operating expenses. He described a chaotic accounting environment, said audits and city contract payments had been slow at times, and noted the organization had been carrying out major capital projects whose spending cycles cause large swings in reported net assets.

Interim CEO Robert Ogilvy told the committee he joined in February 2025 to stabilize the nonprofit and to try to raise funds to “make partners whole.” Ogilvy said he quickly learned the shortfall was larger than he had been told in the interview process, and that, after assessing assets and liabilities, he concluded the organization could not sustain operations without dipping into restricted accounts. He said the board then voted to begin an orderly wind-down to protect restricted funds for partner organizations.

Scope of the shortfall and remaining assets
Committee members and witnesses cited multiple, partly overlapping tallies of losses and outstanding obligations. Ogilvy testified that reconciliations he reviewed showed a liability figure in the ballpark of $5.4 million owed to partner groups and projects. Hutchinson and Becker described multiple years of declining net assets tied in part to large capital projects, fundraising timing and accounting complications.

Ogilvy said the Alliance had roughly $1.1 million in cash at the time the board voted to wind down, most of it restricted. He said the organization held director-and-officer insurance “in the low millions” but deferred to administrators and the third-party assignee for exact policy limits.

City partners and projects
The Port of San Francisco director, Elaine Forbes, told the committee the Port had been unaware of the Alliance’s financial condition and learned about problems from news reports. Forbes told supervisors the Port is completing certain Crane Cove Park amenities and has identified roughly $1.54 million from its own funds to finish dog-run and playground elements originally expected to be paid through the Alliance, and said the Port would seek to recover costs where appropriate.

Public comment and nonprofit impact
More than two dozen representatives from small park groups and community partner organizations described delayed or missing reimbursements, unpaid invoices and lost bequests. Speakers included representatives of the Buena Vista Park Association, Howard Langton Community Garden, Sutro Stewards, Friends of Jackson Park and others. Many testified that they had to cancel programming, lay off staff or pause planned work after requests for reimbursement were delayed or declined.

Committee action and next steps
Committee Chair Jackie Fielder moved to continue the matter to the call of the chair so the committee can subpoena and hear from additional witnesses, gather more documents and coordinate with city attorneys and other investigators. The committee voted 3–0 to continue the item.

What’s next
San Francisco City Attorney and District Attorney offices have opened investigations, committee members said. Supervisors asked for a clarification of the Alliance’s remaining assets, copies of insurance policies, and a plan from the third-party assignee (Jigsaw Advisors was named in public reporting) describing next steps for distributing any remaining assets and addressing creditor claims. Several supervisors said they intended follow-up hearings focused on specific agreements, including funds tied to Crane Cove Park and the Port of San Francisco.

Ending note
Committee members repeatedly told audience members and partner groups that the purpose of continuing the hearing is to gather facts, preserve evidence and explore remedies — including whether insurance, recovery actions, or city assistance can restore funds to harmed neighborhood groups.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Francisco County - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jul 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Former and interim leaders of the San Francisco Parks Alliance faced the Board of Supervisors’ Government Audit and Oversight Committee on July 17 as the panel examined allegations that restricted funds meant for neighborhood park projects were diverted to pay general operating costs.","taxTitle","San Francisco County, California","taxId",2862,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6549995,"Health department seeks retroactive approval for up to $10 million MOU to cover county obligations for state hospital stays",280,542000,822000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5418764-32baedfac85125f1641880166ee4699c&start=542&end=822","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5418764-32baedfac85125f1641880166ee4699c/thumbnail_542000.jpg","/articles/6549995/San-Francisco-County/California/Health-department-seeks-retroactive-approval-for-up-to-10-million-MOU-to-cover-county-obligations-for-state-hospital-stays","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6549995-1e4dc07f2c8b0756c1d51abb7e6e877b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770700991&Signature=khDoTJTYXqvketn6J06DdLVrmpyyXZDWEx-Y6p3FfdeIwqD98qZQ0lSDmkfWjNtdUx5lFbw6wvoRXmJcjN1fqSvbf7~~PX7FE-ohFRL4SnL1bK9Rb-EavvUQTV0-BXa1o0lOPoX060VSFLlIwpzi~sGBzlw2T7rDdTZjkSdUPUmtZ3rY2ae3ZpStuW0VSQB09mvxCWgSLyoSjYWFZzWXTsSUVyPllwU1Yab7N1S89NpnYabIMeGgRbJ9MPqJ6SpZujPtiz0iAr1iQCtjg3~n1hvglV0~Y8mROXNcQ8Ek9VHYuuug6DL7hvVMy8MxR3OC023tvYgBRjNR8-i~4iXyYw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Francisco Department of Public Health asked the Government Audit and Oversight Committee on July 17 to approve a retroactive memorandum of understanding that formalizes county processes and payments for patients placed in California Department of State Hospitals.

Drew Murrell, chief financial officer at the Department of Public Health, told the committee the three‑party MOU — among the Department of State Hospitals, the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA/CALMESA) and San Francisco DPH — sets admission policy, rates and a monthly reconciliation process for state hospital beds required under state law. The clerk’s item described the MOU as running retroactively from Oct. 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, and as authorizing obligations not to exceed $10,000,000.

Legal and administrative context
Murrell said the MOU addresses obligations required by state statute for county reimbursement to state hospitals and that CalMHSA negotiates rates and processes on behalf of counties. Because the funding and agreement terms required coordination between city, state and a joint powers authority, finalizing the MOU involved lengthy discussions between multiple legal and contracting offices; DPH completed its administrative packet in early June and requested retroactive committee approval.

Committee action
After brief questions, the committee voted 3–0 to forward the resolution to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.

What to watch next
The committee asked the department to supply any final executed MOU and to note how the $10,000,000 ceiling will be expensed and reported through the city’s regular budget and reporting channels.","The Department of Public Health asked the San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ Government Audit and Oversight Committee on July 17 to retroactively approve a three‑party MOU to secure county access to California Department of State Hospitals and to authorize up to $10 million to cover San Francisco’s obligations for state hospital placements.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6549998,"Port seeks committee OK to accept $200,000 MTC grant for pay stations to standardize waterfront parking",441,97000,538000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5418764-32baedfac85125f1641880166ee4699c&start=97&end=538","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5418764-32baedfac85125f1641880166ee4699c/thumbnail_97000.jpg","/articles/6549998/San-Francisco-County/California/Port-seeks-committee-OK-to-accept-200000-MTC-grant-for-pay-stations-to-standardize-waterfront-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6549998-43f56042f334c9fb45bf0d8089e5a899/orig.mp4?Expires=1770700991&Signature=atn8t6be-XVV6tHxrYfGn3Es7qMQJuWQVpgo5qc2Npr62PdmMi9ig-t10Eyps5ZdSlJfBaG8V33IGN1r6qcpDbegANHMVEj2EZ1Ftq7zSGkWEPeeD2kZKNubZ-VcWW1uSjQbqy5MUXEKJsddxLH09-UYjHf9ZOLmoHO0N9zAbELx1KJf903h9TgKvikirUh~KB8OSZcxMlcWqjEkL1~Z8sfs-xUbbdjXR0hJWeAnz0H7oCup~yEtMoDAz2yHeFokOrpsdoXqrosWpJ7CmLRU0XmcF4yVNRWHCzfWgFMqA7Ravihvdl2mlYY~6t666He3vXWR8EOtpGlo9BaU~NfzLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Port of San Francisco asked the Government Audit and Oversight Committee on July 17 to approve a retroactive resolution authorizing the Port to accept and expend $200,000 from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to buy multispace pay stations and standardize parking management across waterfront lots.

Peter Albert, development manager for the Port, told supervisors the Port pursued the pay-station project so the agency could consolidate disparate management practices across waterfront lots, improve enforcement and tighten revenue collection. The Port said the equipment is the same multispace pay stations used by SFMTA and that the move would support a future memorandum of understanding with SFMTA for operations and enforcement.

Grant details and administrative steps
Albert said the Port submitted the grant application in 2022 and was awarded $200,000 in 2023. Because the grant is federal congestion-management and air-quality funding that flows through MTC, the Port had to work with Caltrans on environmental and historic-resources exhibits and other required documents; Albert said the Port filed roughly two dozen exhibits and forms with Caltrans and waited for final approvals. He told the committee Caltrans cleared the final items and the Port is holding the resolution so the grant agreement can be completed and executed.

Albert estimated the pay-station equipment typically pays for itself within about 18 months and said the Port had already committed staff time and some preparatory work. He described the MTC as a partner that will debrief agencies on the Caltrans process so future applicants can proceed more quickly.

Committee action
After brief questions from Supervisor Steven Sherrill about staff time and administrative burden, the committee voted 3–0 to forward the resolution to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.

Next steps
Albert said the Port expects the final grant agreement within roughly 30 days of the committee action and will proceed with procurement, any necessary MOU with SFMTA, and installation thereafter.","The Port of San Francisco asked the Government Audit and Oversight Committee to approve retroactive acceptance of a $200,000 Metropolitan Transportation Commission grant to buy multispace pay stations for port parking lots; Caltrans review delayed final grant paperwork, port staff said.

Captain James Ahearn, who supervises SFPD’s Tactical Unit, and Commander McGuire briefed the committee on the department’s holdings, past-year use and planned purchases. The presentation covered remotely piloted ground vehicles, an armored “Bearcat” command vehicle, breaching tools, “flashbang” diversionary devices, long‑range acoustic devices (LRADs), projectile launchers and an expanded drone fleet.

Key details from the report and testimony
- Unmanned remotely piloted ground vehicles: SFPD reported 17 ground robots, with “throw bots” deployed 40 times in 2024 for high‑risk tactical operations and search-warrant service. Maintenance for the robots was reported at a minimal line-item cost in the slides. (Captain Ahearn)
- Armored vehicle / Bearcat: SFPD reported a single Lenco Bearcat currently used for high‑risk tactical operations; the unit said it was deployed 42 times in 2024 and is at the end of its service life. The department said a replacement Bearcat could cost about $350,000 and would be purchased only if “fiscally possible.” (Captain Ahearn)
- Flashbangs and PepperBall: SFPD reported it holds about 150 flashbangs and over 2,500 PepperBall rounds. Flashbangs were used 38 times in 2024; PepperBall systems six times. The department reported non‑life‑threatening injuries to suspects in some deployments and said all uses were reviewed and found consistent with department policy.
- Projectile launchers and munitions: SFPD reported 90 40mm launchers used 58 times in 2024 for critical incidents, tactical operations and warrant services. The total cost identified for that category in 2024 was about $74,095. (Captain Ahearn)
- Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles): The department said it maintains 63 drones and leases seven more. Drones were flown roughly 350 times in 2024 for criminal investigations, critical incidents, planned operations and training. Flight logs are publicly available, the department said, and SFPD told supervisors it does not deploy drones to monitor peaceful First Amendment activity. The department seeks to acquire 24 additional drones in 2025; 2024 maintenance/purchase costs were reported at $428,997.08. (Captain Ahearn, Commander McGuire)
- LRAD/long‑range acoustic devices (loudspeaker systems): SFPD said it deployed LRADs 37 times in 2024 (primarily for public-address or crowd‑management announcements during tactical operations) and plans to acquire one more unit at a reported cost of about $18,098.

Supervisors’ questions and concerns
Supervisors pressed SFPD on frequency and justification for certain equipment: why replace an aging Bearcat when it is used about once per week; whether LRADs are necessary for demonstrations; whether drones were deployed for traffic enforcement or sideshow events and how that decisions intersect with First Amendment activities.

Commander McGuire said drones are not deployed for routine peaceful protests and are launched only when criminal activity is in progress and the drone could help address the crime. For “sideshow” or large traffic demonstrations, McGuire said drones can be used if criminal acts are occurring.

Supervisor Steven Sherrill asked whether the department records “drawn, exhibited or pointed” events for semiautomatic rifles; SFPD answered that the published count tracks and reports actual firing and deployment of munitions, while drawn/exhibited incidents are not systematically tracked for some weapon categories.

Public comment and oversight
Members of the public criticized SFPD’s recordkeeping and urged better transparency on when weapons are drawn or exhibited and on uses in crowd-control settings. Commenters asked the committee to seek records and more explicit policies about the safety and oversight of nonlethal munitions and drone deployments.

Committee action
After public comment the committee voted 3–0 to forward the 2024 AB 481 report to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.

What to watch next
Supervisors asked the department to provide further detail on logs and after-action reviews and to clarify the department’s thresholds for deploying drones near protests.
