things. we would like you to look at the question of with an $83 million budget, why is the library giving six neighborhoods only five to eight hours of service per week? thanks very much. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. last call for public comment. >> hi. i'm going to try to get this operated. i'm here just to tell you, i want to also thank bishop hawkins. he wrote "old happy day" but i'm here to talk about four years ago -- [inaudible] committed suicide and we talked about "to kill a mockingbird." i'm talking about what we're dealing with san francisco. we have a lot of hate crimes going. my neighbor told me he wanted to throw something in my face.

the lord helped me today. pray for him and his bicycle. last night, the mexicans, christians from refugee church tell me to love my neighbor, 25 matthew. i said i cannot love my neighbor when he feels to throw a lie in my face. right now i want to you listen to this. this is two years ago when i had to talk at city college about s.r.o. it's driving us into a lot of problems. i have been to general on march 31. a lot of us do not involuntarily go.

some case management does not do a good job but listen to this. it's talking about -- i'll bring it back to you hear the whole thing about what it's like living s.c.o., the hotel in san francisco. thank you. i'm in beautiful pink. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much. last call for any other public comment. please step forward. public comment is now closed. supervisor david campos, you want to join public comment? okay. colleagues, we are at a natural juncture of our meeting. i would suggest that we perhaps motion, entertain a motion for recess of about 30 minutes.

motion made by supervisor david campos. is there a second? by supervisor sophie maxwell. colleagues, can we take that without objection? motion to recess for 30 minutes so is approved. we will return here in about 30 minutes and we will determine from there if we hav

>> good evening. welcome back to the board of supervisors meeting. colleagues, i want to thank you for the tremendous hours everyone has been putting forward. we have in number of unfinished items. to understand that you have already called all of these items? >> yes, mr. president.

the will to 50 and 51. >> i'm not sure why we don't do them in the order that they appear on the calendar. in numerical order, once comes first, the larger number comes later. >> why don't you start with the budget item? let's call item number 14 with the budget?

>> thank you, madam chair, colleagues. on behalf of the full board and the budget committee and the city and county of san francisco, it seems like a lifetime. sense we have passed out the --

since we passed out the budget. i believe that we have been able to achieve something that will work very well for san francisco residence for the next fiscal year. i want to thank you for that. i want to mention that there are several items in a balanced budget. the first couple of pages are technical adjustments, we will discuss these. these help to bring these into budget.

>> thank-you. there are two pages in front of you that include technical adjustments that are being submitted t \. these are the results of some long discussions here today with the chair of the budget committee and all of the rest to you. i will just described them very briefly. you have them in front of you in detail. the first item is a $7.5 million technical adjustment. these reflect the sources which

totaled $7.8 million. this is to restore programs that the children of youth and public families. the department of public health and other departments. the second page before you is a technical adjustment. his this is intended to take the uses that before the board. this will be part of the budget in an additional appropriation. this will grow the size of the

budget and merge them into the larger budget. >> thank you. based on page two of the technical adjustment, we are here to look at this but i would like to table item 41. >> is it necessary to accept the technical adjustment? >> after that, it will be adjusted. >> we will table this. and on you>> our budget is facie

very uncertain times. we're hoping that the revenue can come in. also called the -- also, the state and federal money are in doubt as well. we have a provision that is much like last year. we would like to have a process to engage in if we are short are in revenue? over the next fiscal year, the

comptroller cheryl monitor projected receipts of local state and federal revenue in the 10/11 budget. if estimate of losses exceed the value of the general reserve and i to the advisers outlining his plan to address the shortfall. this is an issue within 30 calendar days of the report. reductions below current spending levels by the mayor and his plan shall not exceed 30 calendar days to allow a review -- review of the board of supervisors. there will be alternative

proposals for a revenue shortfall. this will adopt an ordinance reflecting the mayor's plan that is the provision. i would like to motion, and if colleagues could help with a second. >> without objection, so moved. >> thank you, colleagues. >> thank you, madam president. colleagues come up on the fruit of the last 5 + hours here this evening on the mayor of's technical adjustment on the list, i really appreciate the work being done to address a

couple of the issues that my office has expressed concern about both the bed as well as the public financing of elections. i think it would be a mistake not to fully fund the public financing program. i would recommend that we 0 about items 3, 6, and 8. this would be in 2 line item #5. that would make that line item close to hole. >> second. the second and advise by supervisor mirkarimi. >> i just have a question for the chair and the mayor's

office, if i may, to mr. wagner. i would like to hear directly from the mayor's office their position with the expenditure that is included in this budget. i was wondering if you could make a clear statement about your commitment to spend that money. >> supervisor campos, this has been a discussion that we have been having regularly over the past few days and weeks. this is something that we have talked about quite a bit over the last year or so. our intent is to move forward with the program identified in the budget.

our view is that by reaching this agreement, we are expressing an intent to carry out these programs. to echo what supervisor avalos said in his introductory marks, we do face and a tremendous degree of uncertainty about the economy, the state and federal budgets, and the revenues in our budget. given that large amount of uncertainty, what we are going to have to -- we are going to have to cross those bridges when we come to them. our intent is to move forward with these programs and carry them out. the language that supervisor avalos introduced is insured to come to a point where we do have large revenue shortfalls in the city budget that change the

budget picture dramatically. it would set up a process to have a conversation with you about how we intend to address those shortfalls. thank you, mr. wagner. let me ask this a little bit differently. i understand about the uncertainty, as you indicated. there is a process that is outlined here. but for that uncertainty, i want to make sure there is a commitment on behalf of the mayor's office. >> absolutely, supervisor. >> supervisor chiu. >> thank you, colleagues. i want to thank the tremendous work of the budget committee and our budget share, who sacrificed

tremendously. i know his family sacrifice. his staff worked tremendously hard. i have a set of amendments related to reserves. to supervisor campos ' question we had set aside an amount. there is a detail of budgetary reserves to the detail of $44 million. this is fringe benefits placed on controller for budget committee reserves pending verification of unverified city reserves. there is a significant portion of this budget that is not reserved. i have heard from colleagues that it is important to have a reserved amount.

the $44 million amount is appropriated on the document. i would like to ask that we move them forward. related to my motion, if you could turn the page to the next page. everybody knows that the city i.t. departments have been undergoing a significant consolidation effort. there was a $1 million plus an amount. that was cut from the budget. what has been proposed is that we not engage in cutting from i.t. budgets at this time, but we set aside $6.8 million on reserve pending progress that i.t. departments throughout the city are making. just as a point of reference, the state of utah, within the

past week, announced major consolidation of months they dissenters the last week. it is a very large amount of money. this has various city and state i.t. departments around the country. in san francisco, we will move in that direction. i want to make a motion to set aside reserves. we will exploit the $8 million on i.t. expenditures. >> supervisor at alioto. >> thank you, supervisor maxwell. i just want to make sure that the health contract cuts have

been put back in. >> yes. the list in front of you includes 3.5 $6 million worth of additional restoration's to community and behavioral health at the department of public health. that is in addition to previous restoration's that were made prior to this package. as a result of those restorations, we are at a funding level equivalent to where we were in the prior fiscal year. >> the mental health contracts are restored. >> yes, supervisor. >> supervisor avalos. >> i thought that we have a

couple of motions that cannot be accepted when we work on those. >> i will have the clerk restate those discussions. supervisor daley seconded by supervisor mirkarimi requested to it zero out lines on the technical adjustment document to fully fund the item number five. >> supervisor campos. >> i just want to make a very quick comment about that motion. i appreciate the thought and the spirit in which is made. i will not be voting for the motion, simply because it includes kindergarten through college. not withstanding the fact that it is something the mayor has indicated that he likes, i think it is a good program.

it is something that we should be supportive of. the other two items, i see the rationale behind that. >> i also have a concern that i want to express about these items. i wanted to express a comment about the homeless facility. i am going to be voting to keep this program. i made clear to the mayor's office that there are homeless centers are around the city that should not be defunded as a new facility is being funded. these offer surfaced to -- services to particular populations that would not be a well served by general facilities. that is the conversation that i have had with the mayor's

office. >> madame clerk. roll call. >> supervisor campos. >> no. >> no. >> no. supervisor daily. >> i -- aye. >> no. >> no. >> maxwell, no. mirkarimi, aye. supervisor avalos. avalos, no. there are two ayes and nine nos. supervisor chiu seconded by supervisor mirkarimi made a motion to put on reserve $44 million as well as the $6.8 million regarding i.t.

expenditures. >> can we do that without objection? without objection. so moved. supervisor daily. >> on the sources on the technical adjustment no. 5, just to confirm the health department revenues that fail on this surplus property. >> that is correct. >> colleagues, i have a running tradition to honor the surplus property ordinance which states that proceeds from the surplus city property shall go to housing for formerly homeless people. there are were the things on this list. -- were the things on this list.

to me, that is no good until it comes to budget time. the losers are homeless people, who would otherwise be getting housing. i am going to somehow attempt to cast a vote against this $1.4 million from the sale of property. >> supervisor campos. >> i do have a question for the mayor's office. is there any other property sale that is in the works or is currently pending that we now consider as part of this budget process? the reason i aske is that i appreciate there is a process involved. through that process, you would

learn that there is more money available. i wanted to make sure we have not left out any item without careful review. i am wondering if there is any other sale that is in the works. >> thank you for the question, supervisor campos. there are a couple of points that are helpful to make. there are not other properties that i am aware of. that is a question for brown of the real-estate division to ask about whether there are additional prospects. the second part of the answer is that the items that you see on this list are not only properties that are about to be sold. we have known about it. these items represent a

commitment by the administration to work on making these transactions happen over the course of the year so that those funds are available in the budget. they are not items that have been pending and they have just been added to the list. they are more of an agreement between the mayor's office and the board to pursue these sales and make them happen so that revenue is a budget that is available -- available to be used for restorations. it would not be available to pursue these transactions. >> any further comment? may we have a motion on the budget items 13 and 14? >> this is a comment on the general budget. i have some comments.

colleagues, i want to thank you for your work on the budget. it has not just in the budget committee that has been involved in the process. it has been all of us the past couple of weeks. you are taking a chance on many difficult decisions before us. this is a $6.5 billion budget. that is about $100 million less than last year's budget. we have a shrinking budget and we have a shrinking work force as reflected by the budget. we just closed a $483 million budget deficit that includes labor -- labor givebacks, service reductions. on the public health side, the mayor's budget that came to us on june 1 included cuts to
