died. -- die. [applause] >> thank you all for your comments. although legislative aides who are here tonight -- >> [inaudible] >> pardon me? >> ok, i did not receive anything. >> basically, ed lee, i love ed lee. sorry. it does, dear mr. mayor. my name is timothy edward doyle, social security number [unintelligible] in the ccap county adult limited

assisted person recipient. my question is -- why has the fiscal figure not been tied to inflation or increased in the past 14 years? waxman name is richard. earlier i turned in a speaker card. >> ok. >> thank you. i want to have the department's attention. there are more smoke pot and flowers -- smoke pots than flowers in the square. recently the spacing was not fixed or replaced for the last week.

i was going to speak about the congestion of traffic in stockton, but lots of speakers touch the subject. i went to the department of public works, who was supposed to monitor the sidewalks and streets. mainly these stores in stockton, they use the street as a storage area. they put boxes. many of those stores, they put the band's to facilitate their

business. certainly, the goods are away from the premises. >> [inaudible] >> everyone is listening. we have many seniors walking the streets and buying this stuff. they are forced to walk on these streets to get by. mainly, mother with a baby carriage, also have to go out on the street. so, this problem, everybody know it for years. but the enforcement is due. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. we have time for one more, then we are really out of time. >> thank you for this meeting.

it has been very informative. i'm glad i am last because i hardly dared to bring up my subjects. i wanted to come to question the department of public works about at an urban myth that i hear that there is a line item in the state budget mandating every year that a certain amount of money goes to urban center cities every year for the undergrounding of utilities. i bring that up because it is my wish list. i hate to bring it up with homelessness, hunger, crime, prostitution, but in the bond russian hill. half of russian hill is underground. the other half is really third world. so, some if there is a good deal of money, i would think that we could put it to good use there. thank you for this opportunity.

>> thank you. [applause] i know the you have not all been heard tonight, but there will be plenty of budget hearings and discussions in the future. these people have been away from their -- they have been at the office all day and i think they have done a great job. i am going to leave this with david mr. mayor? >> let's give a hand to team up for her wonderful job tonight. thank you. thank you, latina. no pies were thrown. not yet. i want to thank everyone here that has joined. i took extensive notes, and it was worth it, because there were so many issues reflected in districts two and three.

just because we could not give you an instant answer to your question does not mean we are not thinking about it. some of the questions are hard to answer in one setting. i know that one of you out there ask a question about whether we were thinking of new and additional revenues. because all the services that had been asked for and demanded tonight will cost more than what we are taking in right now we will have to think about some ideas of revenue. i wanted to let you know that i had been thinking about revenue ideas, along with these members of the board, on an ongoing basis, which is why i have been such a big supporter of local jobs. any company that wants to come here, if they are building were doing things, i want them to hire as many san franciscans as possible.

if they get jobs, they will spend locally, which is how we support the local economy. i want you to know that i am a big fan of sf made. i want more things manufactured in the city. whether it is chocolates, fashion, accessories, things that we can sell. the more that we can manufacture in the city, we have lost blue- collar, we do not have that anymore, but there are other things that we can manufacture, including technology that has a chance for international markets. the other thing i am trying to do is make sure that our city appreciates the international status that we have. so that the more tourists who come here and take up the different events, be it the america's cup, or the fisherman's wharf, we have a chance to sell technology overseas and make that much more

money. we are also thinking about how our economy can be better stabilized if we reorganized our whole payroll tax and make sure we are not punishing job creation in that we are creating the ability to have our own revenue stream even more sustained. so, these are just some of the ideas we are thinking about in terms of revenue generation. having said that, a big thank you to all of you coming out. i know that we will resonate much of the richness in the testimony tonight in the decisions that make. thank you very much, you definitely have our attention. [applause] >> i wanted to take a moment and thank you all for coming out tonight. i wanted to thank the mayor and the department heads for funding the priorities of

district two and three. i wanted to talk about how the budget process and what it would entail. crafting the proposed budget for the fiscal year, the mayor will present this on june 1, and then the budget is in the hands of the board of supervisors. during the month of june we will have many hearings of the board of supervisors with the budget committee, led by my colleague. i should mention that for the next two months we will be holding hearings in preparation for the various decisions that we know will be coming down from the various departments. that is when we will hear from you and department heads and the budget committee will be making recommendations to the full board of supervisors. in the month of july, we will vote on the budget. for folks that want to receive

more information about this, feel free to sign up to the newsletter's. feel free to visit our website, sfgov.org. i know that the mayor and supervisor farrell, we have office hours. i do about six over the course of every month in every single neighborhood in this district. i want to thank the neighborhood associations represented here. not just for working with my office, but for the work you do in the community. i wanted to hand over the microphone for a final word from my colleague, supervisor farrell. >> thank you, everyone. thank you to the department heads for coming out tonight, and especially for our colleague, who had to go home to her family. in san francisco right now i think we are feeling a bit better about the economy, but

the job that we have in front of us this year again, the reality is that our budget deficit is still close to $200 million. despite the fact that over the last year, since the mayor has been in office, unemployment has dropped by 2%, it is a great thing that we need to tout and be proud of in the city as it relates to the rest of the country, but this is still a time of closing budget gaps and dwindling resources. to echo what the mayor and the supervisor said, it is so important to hear from you tonight. for those of you that submitted but did not get to speak, we will be taking them back to city hall and it will all be read. thank you all for coming out tonight. two of the department heads. lastly, i will hand it over to our great moderator, tina.

equipment is coming from new york? new york. maybe it is a good weekend to stay in the city or whenever you want to do. that is a heads up. thank you for coming. good night. [applause]
