appropriating all estimated receipts and all estimated expenditures for selected departments of the city and county of san francisco as of may 2, 2011, for fiscal years ending june 30, 2012 and june 30, 2013. item eight, proposed annual salary ordinance enumerating positions at the annual budget appropriation or that it's for selected departments of the city and county of san francisco for fiscal years ending june 30, 2012, and june 30, 2013. supervisor chu: thank you. these items to come before us before we have heard many of the enterprise department budgets already. at the first week hearing, the san francisco international airport had not yet come to an agreement with our budget analyst in terms of cut recommendations, said that is the reason why we are hearing the budget again today. items six through eight will have to be continued to the call of the chair so that it has time -- or the rest of the budget has time to catch up with it before we forward out all of these items to the full board. with that, if i could ask mr.

martin from the airport, to come to the podium and reflect on any progress that has been made with the recommendation. >> the airport has reached agreement with the budget analyst on budget cuts. supervisor chu: thank you very much to the budget analyst. i know in our report, we do see reflected changes that both the budget analyst in addition to the airport have come to agreement with. is that your understanding as well? >> yes, that is correct. supervisor chu: ok, wonderful. if there are no other questions from the committee at this point, would we like to take the motion to accept the budget analyst with the recommendation? ok, we have a motion to accept the budget analyst recommendation, and we will do that without objection. then, colleagues, on items 6 through 8, can we continue these items to the call of the chair so that the rest of the

budget has time to catch up with it? we have a motion, and we can do that without objection. thank you. let's return to items four and five. if i could ask mr. young to contact our president and let him know that we are returning to it for the evidence that he would like to propose. meanwhile, i will speak to some of the amendments i am proposing for this. colleagues, before you, i believe these items could be put in and would not require a further continuance. the items that i would like to propose that we amend has to do with item two, that you see on

your first sheet, which talks about asking the comptroller's office to provide to us a regular review differ changes and decisions that we make. five-year financial plan is only as good as the decisions we have made and the assumptions we have put in. to the extent that we passed certain policies or change certain things, whether it is approving labor contracts or other things that impact expenses and revenues going forward, that by-your manager plan ought to be updated to reflect the best information that we have. some of the amendments being proposed today reflect a desire to make sure that that five-year plan stays current and stays relevant as we go forward. one of the amendments that i would like to make, which is item two, would require or would insert at the end of the section called control, wage, and benefit costs of the plan, which is on page 20 -- the part that would be inserted would read, " the controller's office shall

report on projected employee wages as a costs compared to the strategy adopted in the financial plan." this is intended to make sure that as we are proving mou's going forward for labor contracts, that we adopt key significant changes, for example in the pension reform package that will be coming before us, that we will be updating the plan to show this differences. the other amendment that i would like to make is on the back of the sheet that i passed out to you. it really is to acknowledge that there could be variance in the future your economic assumptions with the financial plan. again, as the controller's office relate, the revenue projections that we relate -- for example, if we had better than expected revenue -- really does alter and change what our five-year financial outlook looks like. the proposed amendment would really speak to that and said that there could be differences in what we actually see in the future based on what our actual

economic situation turns out to be. it is really making sure that there is variability in the economy and what really comes to be and also making sure that we are controlling and capturing potential big changes in the plan. those are the amendments that i would like to propose. supervisor chiu: thank you. in addition to what our chair just propose, and number of other amendments came out of our conversation last week. we have circulated a couple of these to you. the three additional amendments i would like to make would be to insert at the end of the strategy is to restore fiscal stability is section, to require the controller's office to issue reports advising us on changes to the long-range financial outlooks that are assumed in the plan as well as progress about that in the annual budgets toward those financial strategies. that is the first amendment. the second would really be to do similar types of review with

regard to our additional tax fees and other revenues. again, requiring the office to report on the various projected revenue increases compared to what we have adopted in the financial plan. the third amendment i would like to offer would be to think about how we move forward with the consideration of not using one- time solutions so that we are really implementing structural changes that will force or will help us not have to come up with one-time solutions every year. the language would say that the board of supervisors' request that the controller research and develop financial policies to achieve the strategy is to really help phase out onetime solutions. this is obviously a topic that is not an easy one but one that we all understand if we do not do this, we will continue to see structural budget deficits for years to come. supervisor chu: thank you. we have two combine motions that

would reflect multiple changes that would add additional reporting to update the plan and keep it a relevant plan. we would ask the controller's office to provide additional policies, and also of knowledge that there is variability in what we see in the economy compared to what we see in the plan. can we take these without objection? ok, we will do that without objection. we have items four and five before us. can we entertain a motion to file item four, which is a hearing? ok, we have a motion for that. and to send item 5 forward with recommendations as amended? we can do both without objection. thank you. ok, do we have any other items before us? >> that completes the agenda for today. supervisor chu: thank you. we are adjourned.

great about san francisco. and number of years ago, mayor lee's predecessor and i had a conversation about what we need to do about two issues facing san francisco. one of them was the fact that we have way too many vacant storefronts all over the city, and the other was the fact that we have incredible artists who had not been able to find spaces to showcase their art. like peanut butter meeting chocolate, we are bringing our store fronts, our incredible art together, and i'm happy to be part of the celebration of what is wonderful about san francisco. i am also very excited about the fact that we're doing this here in the street corner. mayor lee and i stood on that street corner helping to announce new legislation that we hope is going to help revitalize these neighborhoods. the neighborhood that we are in now, the central market area, the tenderloin, has been
