The power to amend such contracts extends to contracts entered into prior to the effective date of the ordinance in Board File No. 190047 enacting this Chapter 21B.
(b) This Section 6.76 shall expire by operation of law five years from its effective date, or on the effective date of an ordinance making the finding that according to the most recent Point in Time Homeless Count, there are fewer than 5,250 homeless persons in San Francisco, whichever date is earlier. Upon expiration of this Section 6.76, the City Attorney shall cause this Section to be removed from the Administrative Code.
