of children were stated and i encourage you give the budget back for district 6. there is more than enough in the budget to meet all of the needs in the community, members and voters by the board of supervisors being diligent and thoughtful and responsible when approving the final budget so please invest equally all of san francisco and support district 6's budget. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> good afternoon i am angela and currently attending san francisco state university. i am a product of the youth programs south of market. i help coordinate youth empowering soma and we did see -- like we do have a fluctuation of youth involved in the program. we started with six youth in 2010 and now 2013 we gained 15 more youth from when i started so this program is vital to the community because we see a lot
2:01 am
of problems in the community that are not addressed because there is not youth programs that talk about that did because of that i am involved than just this group. i am seeing more programs and trying to figure out how to help the your better and i hope you realize there are youth in the community and south of market that are in need of the programs and it's positive factor to be involved because it will help them shape their identities and be part of a successful society in the future so thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> hi good afternoon. my name is maria. i speak little english. [speaking spanish]
2:02 am
>> good afternoon. i mamary marin. i am speaking on behalf of this group south of market district. if youth programs are cut single mothers like myself have to worry about where the children spend their time when i'm at work or after school activities and most of the youth are low income youth. a lot of them are sro's and i am asking
2:03 am
for funding for sro's and asking you put money back in toward the youth. she wants me to say that this part she has written down. even with the incredible growth in the mayor's budget and the city has unmet needs the supervisor ask and to make the budget whole. the current proposal is balanced on top of the vulnerable communities, seniors families and people with hiv/aids and others and the impacts impact the entire family city. more homeless on the street, more families can't keep their accessing and youth with access to jobs and health services creates instabilities city wide. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker
2:04 am
please. >> hello good afternoon supervisor. my name is charm. i am with the after school program and summer program and the after school program in betty carmichael educational center south of market and representing the ywca and for the stakeholders. this group has been crucial for the community in terms of supporting immigrant families that are newly arrived and i had the pleasure to check in with a lot of the families and they're really struggling in terms of just having availability of housing, jobs and opportunity are for their children to have a safe place to stay in the programs and i want to reiterate there is more than enough budget to meet all of these needs so
2:05 am
we as a community members and voters ask that the board of supervisors be diligent and thoughtful and responsible when approving the final budget and you can't afford to rubber stamp such a critical policy document. we must work together to create a budget that helps all san franciscans to be part of the recovery and make san francisco whole and thriving and functioning so please invest by supporting the district 6 budget. thank you very much for listen listening. >> okay. thank you very much. any other members of the public -- if there are members of the public please line up on the far wall and we will get to you. all right. >> hello supervisors. address those on the budget committee today. what incredibly moving stories we have heard over the day. there is so much need in the city and probably now more than ever we have seen one of
2:06 am
the highest levels of displacement in san francisco history and surpassing the 2001 bub and he will any of the budgetary elements go toward off setting and supplying and creating because where i see the lack is where we have some services and approach towards the disadvantaged in san francisco. we have very little assistance for work force housing. anything that is affordable those making 25 to $60,000 a year and those in the yards are making 15 to 30 if they're lucking and we should look for opportunities of sites that sat dorm at and other areas and probably cost $50,000 to renovate the bunkers for affordable housing until you're finally ready to do development on that site so maybe there are opportunities to look at that but please don't cut the social services and immediately on a planning department side there is a budgetary item that is currently pushing off the community development fees. this plan was implemented
2:07 am
during the lowest part in the economy and we have more construction than ever so the current policy that exempts our developers or those fees that policy should be reversed and we will have continued input into the funds to support these services. thanks for your time. please support the arts whenever possible in your budgeting decisions today. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am gabriel and speaking on advocate for more work force development system with folks with barriers of employment and support the providers including jbs, self help for the elderly and many other groups. we appreciate your efforts of the
2:08 am
mayor and rhonda simpsons and requesting these funds for development so folks can maintain employment in san francisco. it's critical to fund these programs to enhance the economic stability and prosperity of san franciscans so they can compete for the jobs and stay in san francisco. metaas you know is a community based local economic development agency. it's located in the mission district of san francisco for nearly 40 years. we have been work to improve social conditions in the neighborhood and stimulating investment and enhancing the business environment and jobs for the residents. it's critical to fund the programs to maintain that. we had a huge displacement of our community in the mission district and all around an fran and it's all over and funding these programs will help keeping programs in san francisco. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker
2:09 am
please. >> thank you for listening today supervisors. i debbie her man with the health and services network and i am here with the nonprofits and here to support the budget enhancement request. this is i group of asks put together by nonprofits, by the people that work for us, by the people that are served for us. there are several different areas. first of all we have been cutting the budgets for years. the economy is coming back and it's time to restore services for the most vulnerable and secondly it's unnecessary to accept a unprecedented two year two cut to determine the services. third, it's a priority to back hill hiv/aids cuts in the
2:10 am
budget and it's important to fund a cost of doing business nonprofits who have lost 12% de facto budget cut over the last five years. that money will provide social justice for the workers that need raidses, health increases and rent increases and save programs that are threatened by years of flat funding. the money is there. we ask your support to redirect resources and i know there is a list with many ideas where you can find the funding including suspending the budget stabilization reserve and the budget analyst's recommendations. it's not about not having the resources but what we prioritize and we want the riez directed to where they can do the most good. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. any other members of the public that wish to comment at this time? okay. seeing none public

2:19 am
still create the funds. >> the ordinance addressed two different types of funds. one for gifts to the library which usually require board approval if they're over $10,000 so this amendment would provide that the library could say they can accept gifts up to $100,000 and the second is for grants and the budget analyst didn't address grants in this ordinance. >> okay and subject to the normal rules. >> exactly. >> okay thank you. >> colleagues any further questions? could i have a motion? without opposition. all right. motion to move 14 forward to the full board for the july 16 meefing. >> so moved. >> do so without opposition. colleagues i'm going to propose taking 15 through 23 together and motion to move to the full board for the july 16 board meeting. >> so moved. >> do so without opposition.
