activists, community organizations and ology to make sure that the budget that was proposed for something that was no surprise to any of us. we had many meetings to look at the different proposals. i thought that this was very good process to continue to follow. coming down that line, june was the time frame in which we deliberated on the budget. overall, there are things that we can be proud of. we had a $6.8 billion budget which is reflected of the functions of the city. things that don't get much attention in the press but things that we care about in terms of the core of this city. we are working to improve our projects to make sure that our water supplies, this is a $4

billion project. we have seen that we are opening up the terminal and two airport, something that is really important to the economic recovery for our city and county. our public safety services are essential and remaining intact. we're making sure that we are taking care of and looking forward to health care reform and allow for investments from the federal government. overall, during the board process cremated at $21.6 million worth of adjustments as well as enterprise it changes. as a priority, we were able to highlight and be able to look towards what will be happening with our public safety personnel

and understand that we have a large amount of individuals. we have been able to fund an academy class this year we have seen officers and other public safety personnel being laid off. san francisco is looking forward to the future. i want to ask for your support. there are many opportunities that are perceived as missed opportunities. these are the guideposts to how we can move forward in the future. as your chair, i look forward on working on a few things. the issue about the state budget is not yet resolved. we need to look at how that will change or impact our local budget. we know that redevelopment

agency and how it is that we deal with potentially continuing that will be a significant impact. how we look forward to us move forward is what we look to you on. we will look to how we will deal with our infrastructure. we have many needs that we had to defer this year. of course, as we look at the budget and continue to improve on our financial planning process, we are headed in a direction that is positive for the city. many that we can be proud of, also the obscenities to work together on -- work together a clever to flee. i ask for your support and i hope it is something that you will be proud of. >> i want to take an opportunity to thank some folks and ask for
