new debt coming on line but partially due to some restructuring to balance the current budget out of our debt service there are about -- debt service. there is about $9 million due to a one-time savings. we have the fund to support candidates included with those qualified for the elections. that is how we get to our bottom line of $293.4 million, and i am

happy to answer any questions about the specific lines or anything else you have, but just to point to a couple of additional uncertainties. we are still half a year away from submitting the budget. there are things we know are going to change over the coming year. some could change for the good. some could change for the bad. >> i will try not to do my impersonation. >> chief among the uncertainties are what is going to happen with the economy. it looks like things are stabilizing compared to where we were last year, but we do have some uncertainty about our revenues and costs.

we also have uncertainty due to the state budget. the state is facing another large deficit. we expect more information about how the incoming lawyer 10 -- intends to address that. we will get other indications once the proposal is released in january. againswe have a place holder asd in our deficit projection that is part science and mostly art. it is looking fact -- looking back as a reasonable estimate. >> it is at this point of checking in.

we are significantly better than what has come in the recent past. >> that is correct for the current year. i would caution that things could change the budget we adopted this past summer. as you are referencing, the actual impact of the adopted budget were about $7 million, so there was some additional funding we were able to give to cover other revenue losses. however, i think it is fair to say a significant number of solutions and assumptions included in the final adopted state budget are no longer standing, so there may have to be some corrections where the state revisits some decisions made in the past budget and also

make an additional future policy decisions to balance next year. there is certainly the possibility that if they are able to work some magic or are able to fall back on other entities rather than the city of san francisco, we could come out food. i am highly cautious about being optimistic about that happening. i am wary about what happens when the state puts the budget out. as far as the instructions included in the budget instructions, we have asked the departments to make a reduction of 10% of their general funds adjusted as we have in the past

voting approved spending requirements. we adjust those and apply the targets to the remaining discretionary general fund to reduce general fund support by 10%, and we have asked them to propose ideas totaling 2.5%, so one quarter of that amount in the current year. the goal was so we could get some ideas on the table in the current year so the current reductions we can take early action and benefit from 18 months worth of savings instead of waiting until the budget is adopted next year. those proposals we have asked to be turned into my office by

december 21. we will take a look of those and talk through with the department, and we can act on them and immediately or to the extent that policy decisions we can make appropriate to whoever the incoming mayor is so they will have a set of options on the table to work with, and in addition to that, we have asked for another 10% contingency provided by each department. as always, we have asked departments to prioritize or service delivery, finding proposed solutions were possible that minimize disruptions and impacts on services.

lastly, the high-level calendar for what is coming over the past few months, december 21, we have asked the department to submit ideas for current productions. we will see if additional proposals, but my expectation is that nothing will be certain once we do see that proposal, although it should give us some indication, and we will have further updates to current numbers in february, and there will be an adjustment to the deficit production value.

lastly, enterprise departments on may 1 and general fund departments to come before this foreign for deliberations -- this board for deliberations, so i am happy to answer any questions. >> i think we are ok. thank you for your presentation. i do not envy it your job. >> ♪ bring the budget home for christmas ♪ please we would appreciate that ♪

♪ let the money snow, we need it so with the present under the tree ♪ christmas tree we will find a budget were city hall lights shine ♪ ♪ please bring the budget home for christmas, and don't you think it is about time ♪ ♪ if only in my dreams ♪ >> on that note, we will close public comments, and we can continue these comments. >> we are going into closed session. this is item five. settlement of lawsuits with

insurance, the ordinance for the lawsuits versus the insurance company. >> to spot this, i am going to close session. do any to do public comments about going to close session? >> that is correct. the maker of motion. >> a motion to go into closed session. >> we are open to public comment going into closed session. seeing none, we will close

chair avalos: ok, we are back from a closed session. we have a motion to go back into closed session? supervisor mirkarimi: i have a motion. chair avalos: any other motions? we are adjourned.

money. you are not taking up the time of a particular employee at the assessor's office. you might be doing things more efficient. >> they have it ready to go and say, this is what i want. >> they are finding the same things happening on the phone where people call in and ask, how do i find this information? we say, go to this website and they go and get the information easily. >> a picture tells a thousand stories. some say a map

listen to the heroism and valor of these officers, as you do tonight when their commanding officers present what they did. you will hear things about your loved ones and family members that you never left new before. as commission members, we sit there with a lot of pride and a lot. also, we come to the graduation of police academies. for those we come to congratulate, to the promotional ceremonies. for the medal of valor, we come to honor. what is valor? you look at the definition. it means personal bravery, heroism, gallantry. that is what each and one of these officers has done, bravery, personal heroism. but before we talk about your dollar, i want to give our appreciation to the people that brought them there, from the academy staff, field training

officers. those are the true professionals that prepared these officers for what they do out on the streets. talking to one of the officers receiving a medal tonight, i asked him, what were you thinking about when that went on? he said, i was not thinking, i was reacting to the training that i got in the academy. i would like to think the family members. as the chief said, the family members are the ones supporting you, the one that see the good and dark days. they are the ones that will give you to who you are today. thank you to the family members for sharing these heroes with the police department. and to the officers, valor-- --t is that are characteristic to quantify, that brings you to do something that is above and

beyond the call of duty, where you are willing to risk your life for the sake of others or for public service. it is an incredible gift. in talking to one of the officers receiving an award tonight, he told me about a suspect with a gun that just killed somebody and he held back from firing his weapon because it would have killed him. he did not want to strike anybody nearby. it was a veteran officer who could never tired and gone home. that is belair. that is why we are proud to be at the commission tonight. you are truly san francisco's finest. thank you, on behalf of the commission. [applause] >> both the chief and commission president mention this long review process to become a medal

of valor recipient. i want to give you a brief idea of how these acts were reviewed to get us here tonight. when an officer's actions are such that any supervisor take notice of any break, that supervisor officer prepares a report detailing the event. the commanding officer then conducts a personal investigation of the event, and if they approve the nomination, it prepares the report to the chief of police. the chief than four or -- forwards these nominations to the office of the police commission. then those are sent off to a screening committee. if the awards screening committee approved the nomination, they send it back to the commission office so the awards committee secretary can set up a meeting. this is a meeting of all of the department's captains and command staff where the nominating commanding officer

who presented the nomination, while the officer is sitting there, answering questions about what they were thinking, what they were doing. next, by secret ballot, the awards committee votes on whether to award and what grid of metal. finally, they presented to the police commission for final approval. you should be proud of your family members who are here. this is something that every captain looked at before these awards were made. it is a tremendous statement about what these people did to be here tonight that stood up to that kind of betting. -- vetting. at this time, i want to call forward mr. lazard to read the spirits of officer suguitan.
