Nov 1, 2022

San Francisco has 14 propositions to vote on this November, ranging from affordable housing, sales tax, department and commission measures and more.

Here’s what you should know about this election’s local propositions.

Proposition A: Retiree Supplemental Cost of Living Adjustment; Retirement Board Contract with Executive Director

If passed, Proposition A would grant employees who retired before Nov. 6, 1996, a supplemental cost of living adjustment to their pensions, even as the San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System isn’t fully funded.

Currently, the retirement system provides employees and retirees of San Francisco with pension benefits. In the November 1996 election, a supplemental cost of living adjustment for retirees was approved. However, the retirement system must be considered “fully funded” in order to receive the approved supplemental benefit.

The retirement system is considered fully funded when it meets its expected rate of return and has the ability to pay for the city’s employees’ and retirees’ pensions.

For years the system has not been fully funded, Proposition A would grant retirees who have an annual pension of over $50,000 a supplemental cost of living adjustment of $200 per month. grant certain retirees a monthly $200 increase to their pensions.

Additionally, Proposition A would allow the city’s Retirement Board to grant their executive director, hired on or after Jan. 1, 2023, an individual employment contract.

Currently, the Retirement Board is in charge of monitoring the retirement system and determining who its executive director is. The executive director is not able to enter an individual employment contract and must follow separate employment rules and terms. Because of this, the executive director’s potential salary and benefits are limited.

The 2020 Proposition B was approved by voters in the November 2020 election. The proposition separated the Department of Public Works up into two departments – the Department of Public Works and the Department of Sanitation and Streets.

The Department of Public Works’ primary responsibility is handling San Francisco’s physical infrastructure, including constructing the city’s buildings, roads and sidewalks. The Department of Sanitation and Streets is in charge of upkeeping the city. This includes maintaining cleanliness across the city’s streets, sidewalks, public restrooms, nature and litter.

Actualmente, la Junta de Retiro es encargo de monitorear el sistema de retiro y determina quién es su director ejecutivo.

Por esto, el salario y los beneficios potenciales del director ejecutivo son limitados.

Giya para sa pagboto ng mga proposisyon sa San Francisco para sa parating na Halalan

Miguel Francesco Carrion, Visuals Editor

Mayroong 14 na Proposition sa balota para sa lungsod ng San Francisco ngayong parating na halalan. Ang mga isyu na haharapin ng mga proposition ay nagmumula sa abot-kayang tirahan, antas ng mga buwis, mga isyung kagawaran at iba pa.

Itong ang mga dapat alamin bago bumoto ngayong Halalan 2022.

Proposition A: Retiree Supplemental Cost of Living Adjustment; Retirement Board Contract with Executive Director

Kung pumasa, ang Proposition A ay magbibigay ng pandagdag na pagsasaayos ng gastos sa pamumuhay sa pensyon ng mga nagretiro bago mag Nov. 6, 1996. Ito ay kahit man hindi puno ang pondo ng San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System.

Sa kasalukuyan, ang sistema ng pagreretiro ay mamamahayag sa mga empleyado at nagretiro ng San Francisco ng benepisyo ng pensyon. Noong Halalan 1996, pinayagan ang pandagdag na pagsasaayos ng gastos sa pamumuhay sa pensyon ng mga nagretiro. Gayunman, ang sistema ng pagreretiro ay dapat maging kumpleto sa pondo para makuha ang pinayagan na pandagdag na benepisyo.

Itinuturing na ganap na pinondohan ang sistema ng pagreretiro kapag naabot nito ang inaasahang rate ng pagbabalik at may kakayahang magbayad para sa mga pensyon ng mga empleyado at retirees ng lungsod.

Maraming taon nang hindi sapat ang pondo ng sistema, ang Proposition A ay magbibigay ng pandagdag na pagsasaayos ng gastos sa pamumuhay sa mga nagretiro na mayroong taunang pensyon na lumalagpas ng $50,000.

Karagdagan, ang Proposition A ay sabay din papayagan ang Lupon ng Pagreretiro na bigyan ang kanilang punong tagapamahala, na kinuha pagkatapos ng Enero 1, 2023, ng indibidwal na kontrata sa pagtatrabaho.

Sa kasalukuyan, ang Lupon ng Pagreretiro ay namamahala sa pagsubaybay ng sistema ng pagreretiro at sila rin ang tumutukoy kung sino ang kanilang punong tagapamahala. Ang punong tagapamahala ay hindi pwede bigyan ng indibidwal na kontrata sa pagtatrabaho at dapat sumunod sa ibang patakaran at termino ng pagtatrabaho. Dahil dito, limitado ang pwedeng sahod at benepisyo ng punong tagapamahala.

Opisyal na Kalaban: Walang opisyal na kalaban ang Proposition A.

Proposition B: Public Works Department and Commission, Sanitation and Streets Department and Commission

Kung pumasa, ang Proposition B ay magtatangal ng Department of Sanitation and Streets, ibabalik nito ang pagiisang Department of Public Works. Kasama dito ang pagbabalik ng mga pananagutan ng Department of Sanitation and Streets sa Department of Public Works.

Yung 2020 Proposition B ay inaprubahan ng mga botante noong Halalan 2020. Ang proposition na iyon ay hiniwalay ang Department of Public Works sa dalawang department – ang Department of Public Works at ang Department of Sanitation and Streets.

Ang pangunahing responsibilidad ng Department of Public Works ay ang pamamahala sa pisikal na imprastraktura ng San Francisco, kasama dito ay ang pagtayo ng mga gusali, bangketa, at kalsada ng lungsod. Ang Department of Sanitation and Streets ay namamahala sa paglinis ng lungsod. Kasama dito ay ang pagpapanatili ng kalinisan ng mga kalsada, bangketa, pampublikong palikuran, at kalikasan ng lungsod.

Proposition D: Affordable Housing – Initiative Petition

Kung pumasa, ang Proposition D ay mapapabilis ang proseso ng pagpapahintulot para sa ilang uri ng mga abot-kayang tirahan. Mararating ito sa pag-bypass ng pagpapahintulot ng piling opisyal na mga grupo ng lungsod at sa pagkawala ng pagsusuri sa kapaligiran.

Kasama dito ay:

Mga proyekto sa pabahay na 100% abot-kaya ang mga tirahan.
Mga proyekto sa pabahay na may hindi bababa sa 10 tirahan na nagbibigay ng 15% na mas abot-kayang mga tirahan kumpara sa pinakamababa na kinakailangan ng lungsod.
Mga proyekto sa pabahay na may 80% abot-kayang mga tirahan para sa mga empleyado sa loob ng sistema ng kolehiyo ng lungsod o distrito ng paaralan.

Ang pagpayag ng Board of Supervisors ay hindi na kailangan para ituloy ang mga proyekto sa pabahay na itatayo sa lupain ng lungsod o gamit ang pera ng lungsod.

Sa kasalukuyan, ang mga bagong proyekto sa pabahay ay dumadaan sa iba-ibang grupo bago payagan tumuloy ang proyekto. Kasama sa mga grupo na ito ay ang Planning Commission at ang Planning Department, ang Board of Appeals, ang Historic Preservation Commission, ang Arts Commission, at ang Board of Supervisors.
