i know how important they are two members of our community who are most at need of these services. i hope that you will support this amendment. we do understand that this city is facing very hard times. the economy is bad across the country. we have continued to face reductions in our grants, year after year. this would be a substantial blow to us. we look forward to your supporting our amendment. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker. >> good morning, supervisors. happy new year. we are with the community planning group responsible for allocating federal dollars. as a part of our deliberation, we are required to look at the needs of people who live with hiv, including underinsured and low-income people. we have reduced services as our

federal grant has dropped. i want you to hear from us on the planning council that there are no other cuts that can be made to these life-saving services without losing essential programs that are keeping people with hiv alive. these are budget cuts that can very well mean life or death for people living with hiv in san and cisco. we are asking for your support for this short term replacement of federal funds and we look forward to working with you, the health department, and the mayor's office, to come up with longer-term solutions. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is douglas. i would like to speak on behalf of this ordinance. it is something that is necessary. the month -- the money would benefit so many patients.

as a precaution, i would like to thank the budget analyst for revising the amount downward. i am sure that he had good reason to. i think that this is a good idea, revising the amount down word, for whatever reason he sees fit. to use this money effectively, i would like to say for -- who knows how many times -- the department of public health must be closely monitored to avoid inefficiency. in my 20 years of expense -- expertise -- experience, i got into many difficult questions surrounding waste and inefficiency. that if we were going to use this money for the benefit of the patient, we should closely monitor the department of public health. i will make the recommendation that they must be audited formally as a complete unit and,

according to my information, that has never been done in the history of the d p h. let's do the audit and use the money effectively so that the patients benefit the most. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. are there any other speakers on this item? item number four? seeing no one, the item is closed. supervisor kim? supervisor kim: how much money is currently left in our state revenue fund now? maybe i will ask my second question as well. how much more do we anticipate, given the recent needs from the state? i want to get a sense for what we have lost and how much we are expecting in supplementals before the 30th of june.

why is it that we are not de appropriating the entire amount, given that the adult day health centers are now funded by the state? >> to the chair, supervisor kim, as shown on page 3-4 of the report, if you approve and then fine return on the balance, 1.5 million back to the state revenue last reserve fund, there will be a new balance. however, i would add that this comment was written without our recommended reduction of the $200,000 plus, so you would add an additional $200,000 to the

$13.2 million balance. supervisor kim: that was my misunderstanding. i thought that we were only de appropriating the amount that is now being requested. but it is the entire dollar amount? >> correct. the balance would go back into the state revenue reserve fund. supervisor kim: this is the only supplemental be made to the state reserve? >> i would defer to the mayor's office about what they have pending before them. supervisor chu: from the mayor's budget office, i believe that we have allocated a certain amount for the adult day care. it wound up not being used. there was a previous request for child care subsidies, but that was not the source of money. it was actually through dpys. i believe that that is all for now supervisor kim: i what -- for now. supervisor kim: i wanted to get

a sense of what we might be anticipating, since there are so many worthy funds to come before us. >> good morning. we are working on a six month budget status report, which will be completed likely on february 8, or thereabouts. part of that analysis, they are working for the upcoming week and it includes reconciling reserves. but we do not know about the cuts, the biggest picture beyond the reductions talked about here, there is continued uncertainty regarding a series of losses of federal or state money and the department of public health. of course, there is the news regarding the dissolution of the redevelopment agency and the financial impact of that, which will be provided in the report. there are reductions that have been approved by the state legislature for other social service programs in social -- in

san francisco. many of them have been approved by the courts, and they may ultimately wind up being implemented. and then there is the reduction where there are changes in a way that the city is required to reimburse the state for certain expenses for juvenile probation that are under way and somewhat driven by the population. those are the big picture costs that you have either not seen as supplementals -- many of them are still uncertain because they are being temporarily blocked by the courts and they may not ultimately wind up being implemented by the state. we will give you a much fuller update on the reserve and the remaining cuts to be mayor may not see at the end of the fiscal year. supervisor kim: i do plan on supporting this today. i think that this is a good use of our state reserve loss funds. i think that these services are incredibly important.

similar to adult day health care, a lot of the services that people depend on through june until we can fear out how to fill in gaps. but it would be important to get a sense of the fund. i know that everything coming to us will be just as important to lots of members of our community. we want a sense of how we are looking at that overall $15 million. supervisor avalos: i will be supportive of this supplemental as well. i also want to make sure that we are doing our due diligence to make sure that we can find the funding to keep the programs going into the next fiscal year as well. key life giving in life affirming services, we want to make sure we can carry on with them. supervisor chu: to lie detect a motion to amend the item as recommended by the budget

analyst? a reduction from the $1,846,000 to $1,500,000? and the department agrees with that. we can take that without objection. on the item itself? supervisor chu: motion to send it forward. -- supervisor avalos: motion to send it forward as articulated. supervisor chu: i am fine with sending this forward, but i want to articulate my reservations about the certainty for funding in the upcoming year. we are competing with a lot of different, very worthy causes, whether it is igshss or cuts to other programs. i am not sure what will happen in the coming year, it is to be determined. again, i hope that people understand that this one action

to restore the full value of its for the remainder of this year, there is still a question as to what will be possible for the next year. i want to be sure that everyone's here is aware of that and that that is actually on the public record as well. i want to thank all the members of the public that came to speak on this issue. we have a motion and we will take that without objection. ok. just a notice on this item, since it was amended can i ask with the department to work with our clerk to make sure that we have copies of any amended legislation? we have had problems in the past where we have not gotten be amended issue ended held up our agenda for the board. with that, we are adjourned. thank you.

commissioner kim: we are still waiting on sfgtv. we also have another committee and commission going on. are we ready to go? thank you. good afternoon and welcome to the special rules committee for thursday january 26. i will be chairing today's meeting. i am joined by supervisor david campos, and to my right, supervisor farrell. the committee would like to acknowledge the staff at sf gov tv. are there any announcements? >> yes, the items on the agenda today recommended to the full board will go on tuesday february 7 unless otherwise indicated. commissioner kim: i know we have a number of members of the public who are here today to speak on a number of items, so i

just want to let you know we will be moving up item 3 right after item one. just so folks know for the sake of public comment. please call item one. >> item 1. motion confirming the mayor's appointment of naomi kelly to a five-year term as city administrator under charter section 3.104. commissioner kim: thank you. we do have naomi kelly here, currently the acting city a administrator. we generally ask that you speak briefly about your experience and background in relation to this appointment by our major and anything you would like to add. >> thank you. supervisor kim, supervisor farrell, supervisor campos, i am naomi kelly, the acting city administrator. i am deeply honored and grateful to have been nominated by mayor

ed lee to a five-year term as the city administrator. i come before you today to respectfully ask for your support and confirmation. i care about the city as a taxpayer, a native san franciscan, a resident of the angle side, mother of two boys. i want to make sure that as the city -- that the city administrator's office is open to everyone in san francisco. i see the city administrator at behind-the-scenes assisting various departments, developing critical services to the citizens of san francisco. we want to make sure that what the board of supervisors and they are put into law works. my career with the city has been cross disciplinary under three different mayors, which i believe will serve me well as a city administrator. within this last year, my role as deputy city administrator and acting, my partner focus has been creating jobs for san francisco. i facilitated rolling out the city's mandatory local ordinance and it's simple, fair,

and transparent manner, and i did this by engaging the public works department, the committee- based organizations, unions, and vendor community. this week, i signed the community benefits agreement as part of the mid market payroll tax exclusion, which was the culmination of our work with your office, supervisor kim, amid market citizen advisory committee and zynga. ibm my career in 1996 in the mayor's office of policy and legislative affairs. my management to a victory begin with the city in 2001 when i became the executive director of the taxicab commission. i promise achieve that there was successfully implementing security cameras and all san francisco taxi cabs. in 2004, i accepted the position of city purchaser and position of office of contracts administration and my goal was to provide an equally -- equal opportunity for all to compete while yielding the benefits of

the competitive solicitation process, while at the same time, implementing social policies tied to the contract process. during my time at purchasing, we continue to be the leader in procuring more green products, such as by a fuel, light bulbs, 100% post consumer waste paper, and more. we use technology to streamline and create government recently, we entered into a city-wide enterprise agreement with elations, a web-based systems used by all public works contractors for some metals of perils. we achieved efficiencies for departments and contractors by creating one platform that the vendors and the purpose were familiar with. i fully understand the demands and duties of the city administrator's position and will work diligently to manage and implement policies and regulations put forth by you, your colleagues, the mayor, and community. i pride myself on the relationships i have developed

over the last 15 years with my colleagues in community. i want to leverage those relationships to ensure the city administrator's office remains an accessible, responsive, and the problem-solving department. my objective as city administrator is to ensure responsible fiscal management and accountability to those who pay taxes for our local government and provide essential services. you haveyou have my word that ws on streamlining, assisting with vital infrastructure programs and projects, embracing innovation and creativity, particularly technology innovation, and focusing on emergency preparedness. i am strongly committed to san francisco as a city leader, resident, wife, and proud mother of two children. i care profanely about their future in the future of all san franciscans, and i will do whatever it takes to obtain a greener, more sustainable, and

livable city for everyone. thank you for your consideration. [applause] supervisor kim: thank you. you have so much support here today. we do have some questions for you. supervisor campos: thank you. ms. kelly, thank you for your presentation. it is clear you have a lot of fans in the audience. my experience in the time i have been a supervisor and working with you is that you are always very responsive and always trying to find ways in which -- you follow practices, but you also think of ways to do things better, and i appreciate that.

for me, the role of the city administrator is so critical. it really is one of those positions that makes sure the government is responsive to its constituents. i was wondering if you could say every bit more about your thoughts on that, because i know that has been your track record, but i want to make sure the people who are watching and are here in the audience to hear directly from you on that. i have to say that when i say the government is responsive to its constituents, i mean government being responsive to everyone, and that includes people who often times do not necessarily get the attention that they should get from government, so i am wondering if you can speak to that? >> absolutely. first, i am very lucky in my position as acting city administrator and, hopefully, city administrator, that i have had the opportunity to work with nancy at 311.

they have done a great job at 3112 connect diverse populations, a closing low went public -- including low-income populations, and for low english-speaking skills to be able to work with the full range of government. and i have worked with the office of civic engagement. there on the spot when there have been emergencies in different communities to provide translation to the chinese and to the spanish communities, and their office is working with the redistricting all the meetings and information there. i am also lucky to work in the emergency preparedness, and under the leadership of then-a city administrator ed lee, and i plan to continue that, the sf recovery system, making sure we are resilient. making sure that as -- in cases

of emergency, we bond together in an emergency. be sustainable. there are so many different organizations. i can go on and on. it is mccourt to keep this government accessible to all communities. supervisor campos: in overseeing city contracts, we have to always find ways to save taxpayer money, and we can do things better. we had the example of the contract with office depot, making sure we review everything carefully. one of the things that i sometimes have seen in government is u.s. why some things are done a certain way, and the answer is, well, this is the way it has always been done. can you talk a little bit about your perspective in terms of making sure that we bring

innovation, always thinking about how we, as a city, are always run in a more effective way. >> absolutely. there is a project right now, and the general manager from the puc is here, talking about purchasing and innovation. right now, purchasing has been working closely with the public utilities commission in replacing our overhead street lights with led street lights. why is that innovative? because we're trying to have a more environmentally-preferred streetlight out there. what is great is we're driving the industry, because we will dim or brighten those streetlights remotely, or if it is neighborhood where you do not need those streetlights all the time, motion detectors will turn it on when someone is walking by. right now, somebody has to manually go up the pole to dim

or brian the streetlight. we have a great partnership with the public utilities commission to always think innovatively, but also yield the benefits of the competitive solicitation process. supervisor campos: thank you very much. supervisor kim: thank you. you addressed this, but i was wondering if you could talk more about your process these with working with community. one of the pieces were i get to work with your offices on the midmarket tax exclusive, a community benefits agreement process. maybe you can talk more about your philosophy of working with the community and developing these benefits agreements? i am sure folks are eager to hear about the results of zynex. >> absolutely. we were very successful with that because we engage with the

advisory committee. what was great about the committee is they represented different factions of the midmarket area, and they had a lot of community support. what they have done, and they have created a great platform and a great base for other applicants, is that they had engaged a community liaison that will always be listening to what ticks in the community. one important thing is going up into the neighborhood and not sitting at your office. was to go out into the community, you hear firsthand what is important and how your policy and how what your thinking for the community will best fit and as work in that community. we do not necessarily know sitting in our offices. it is by getting out of our offices and into the communities, because others may not be able to get to us.

it is better for us to go out to them. i think that is one of the most importazyndex has the community liaison, and they go to the community. not the community coming to them. supervisor kim: thank you. i have been interested in seeing how we can expand local contracts we give to local businesses in san francisco. we have such high expectations of our businesses, whether it is pay, liveable minimal wage, health care for employees, safe working conditions. the you have any thoughts on how we can continue to make sure that our city dollar contracts go to these small businesses versus those that are outside of san francisco and not have to apply for the same type of regulations? >> absolutely. my fiin working with city government, i very much met the people who worked at the human rights commission.

it has become the local benefits enterprise ordinance. i very much care about local business participation. but in my role as a purchaser, where many of our items are drafted in because we're not a manufacturing town, one of the projects coming up this sf made in the apparel industry. we want to work, and this is us getting out of our office and going to the community and saying, hey, look, there are opportunities in some of the uniform contracts here in san francisco. they can actually be made here in san francisco. tell us so that local businesses can participate in this instead of outsourcing it to ohio or somewhere else. purchasing is committed to working with and meeting with all of those different manufacturers here locally, so we can encourage them to bid on our contracts, so that we have a

local manufacturer providing uniforms for our employees here. supervisor kim: thank you. i believe that is all the questions from route -- from rules committee. i know there are a number of people here in support of your appointment. i wanted to give them the opportunity to stand. not everyone has signed up on a speaker card, so if you are willing to stand -- [applause] >> i would like to thank each and every one of the for coming in supporting this very

historical moment. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you, ms. kelly. i will open it up for public comment. i will call the first five names on my list. then i will call the next set of first, we have monique moyer. let me call out the first five names. i want to recognize our former supervisor, reverend amos brown. [applause] >> i can say it all, madam chair, in one minute. supervisor kim: i needed all the first five names. monday, james, linda, events, and ramon. we will begin with two minutes. we have a number of speakers, so please be brief. if somebody has already articulated a point that has already been made, ad
