1:39 am
what with he have. there's 11 ftes in the street cleaning bureau and that's for the outreach and enforcement program. we're continuing to work and support the san francisco housing authority to help with the cleaning up of the work sites. there's an increase in the bureau that's again because of the growing number of permits that are coming from both street mapping and tree permit applications. we're going to be putting out the newer and safer rerepeal cancels. your routine replacement of
1:40 am
vehicles are over 12 years old and they're out of compliance with healthy air and transportation ordinance so we'll be changing as many have those as we can this map shows the fte changes. as you can see pretty flat compared to many of the previous years. i think your best year from all those chapters was 08, 09 and we're starting to build back up to where we were in those years. capital projects again, the 3 major projects and enhancements

1:42 am
percent of our salaries. similar to last year. pretty sure flat. a lot of our bureaus work hard to reduce overtime and we've been able to achieve this as needed employees or people who are ready to makeshift changes n to accommodate the need. and final slide addresses the economic disparities. stated earlier we use data a lot to make sure we're serve various part of the city all over the city equally. we work closely with many of the community based organizations to recruit for apprentices in our
1:43 am
department from chinatown down to the mission. we try to find the best candidates. we're in the neighborhood newspapers we do face to face communication. we work with merchant all over the city. and many of the meetings in the city we also try to make sure we have attention and we're there to update and give information on dp w. there's in many languages so people can understand the information like chinese and spanish and russian and any language that is needed.

1:45 am
i'm a little confused about the 40 million allocated fund in 2014 that's in slide 10. vs. capita renewals. as i'm looking on where you have our proposed sources and it has general fund gas tax sources 2008 through fiscal year 15. i don't see where there's 3 million for - i guess this is not exactly what's an increasing for the surfaceing but it's in the same category you have the general fined support. there's not the same support but - >> good afternoon. i'm with the public works you pointed out this out.
1:46 am
you're not siege the 40 million here >> but it says our gas tax for the next fiscal year will be 4 want. >> one gas tax we use for trees and street cleaning. that used to be the old sales tax but you're seeing the gas tax for the roads and what you're seeing on that slide with the gas tax for the operations. >> that's why i wanted to ask this in the first place. what would the separate gas tax
1:47 am
be? >> in fiscal fourteen we're expecting about $19 million in gas tax. >> in fiscal year i'm sorry. >> fourteen and 15. >> okay. that's - >> supervisor bred. >> thank you for your presentation. i wanted to ask a question about the apprentices e apprenticeship program. many of our young folks are working because of this amazing program but we talked about this the transition from being a part of the apprenticeship program and the actual job opportunities. and is there any plans within the next two fiscal years to try
1:48 am
and support more long-term permanent opportunities for the apprenticeship program in general >> thanks to the mayor's office for their leadership. they're able to give us some seed money. the apprentice programs were returning run in the past where we - the funding we're going to get we're going to explore some other types of apprenticeship. we're about to start our mason apprenticeship program and other apprenticeship programs in trees.
1:49 am
it's important we invest in those programs. in terms of when you finish the apprentices your moving into the journey man program. many of the apprentices are we getting other jobs in the mta. and some have gone to the airport and the contracting world. so we have a pipeline where we need to spend a lot of energy getting people out of the apprentices into other trades. we have a really good labor of apprentice program and gardening program. we have asphalt to help with the paving. anywhere we find opportunities we will, you know, we'll explore
1:50 am
and make sure we help people get jobs >> it would be helpful to get a clear understanding. i know you probably tracked this information but on an annual base how many people do have you in the apprenticeship program for people who have moved into a full-time job. i want to bring up the repaving of the sidewalks. i know that a number of the folks are painting out especially with the fact there are a significant number of trees and we pay attention when
1:51 am
1:52 am
1:53 am
and keeping construction sites very clean traditionally the contractor comes in and they get two or three blocks we're asking them to have a less impact and work with the neighborhoods. we have been filtering quite a bit of complaints. we're stechd a little bit but at this time i know we're kind of mitigating those concerns as they come. colleagues any other questions at this time >> we agreed with the budget analyst recommendation where we discharged is on the housing
1:54 am
authority. the department of public works is supporting the housing authority on the clean up on weekends. there are 6 apprentices who are trained who work at the housing authority and a couple of employees that do regular clean up on the weekends. we strongly believe that will continue and we also believe that work is best done at dp w because they work like that all around the city. that's the policy type of discussion i think that we strongly believe it should stay at the dp w >> so why don't we go to mr. roses report. >> mr. chairman on page 66 on
1:55 am
our report is the recommended rescues is 41179 and out of that there are ongoing condiment savings. they still allow 7.7 percent and in the departments 13 and fourteen budget and fourteen, 15 the reductions are nine hundred and 29 thousand it would still allow an increase in the departments budget. the item in the department was just referring to say a policy recommendation again, it's not been concluded in the department recommendation. that's on page page 69. i'll briefly read it. the san francisco housing
1:56 am
authority recommended termination of a memorandum of understanding of h a for the labors apprentices program. the mayors proposed 2014 and 13 budget as a city cost our recommendation or suggestion to you is that the board of supervisors as a policy option could approve the city's funds in 13 and fourteen and transfer the program. the reason we made that remedies there would be a saving. and the same manner we made a recommendation 0 on the police department they were providing
1:57 am
some overtime work which we don't think is necessary. okay. thank you mr. rose. colleagues any questions i think there are a few ways we can either separate out or do the recommendations and save the policy recommendations for a later or we can act on both today. supervisor bred >> yes don't think we should act today. i do think that the city is going to need to take some level of responsibility to try to come up with the support necessary to maintain this program at the housing sites. and if there is a recommendation to reduce dw p budget we may want to take into account the
1:58 am
housing authority. there might be some more discussion. and okay unless there are any objections maybe we can obamacare act on mr. roses recommendationss. >> for clarity his other recommendations provided for a budget instruction in dp ws budget. >> and those are estimates. >> yes those are agreed to. i want to clarify to supervisor bred those are rementsdz bans straight budgetary agreements in contrast. we've done in every other
1:59 am
2:00 am
the city moving it over to the city doesn't have the structure to run the apprenticeship programs. they've got a lot of curriculum and there's certainty types of evaluations that are being documented, you know, so i would caution you moving it back over there to accomplishing all the credits and coccyx >> why don't we act on others issues then. that's correct it is a fiscal year >> so supervisor bred any other discussion can i
