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.

today, i want to nominate our vice chair for the chair ship for the transportation authority body. i have had the pleasure of working with you but also know your incredible commitment to public transit here in san francisco and also to creating more equity among its many different communities that do not have access to transportation. you have been truly committed and have made this a priority in your agenda and that usurped as our representative for the board of supervisors for the mtc. i think it would bring a lot of good connections to the regional work if you also chaired our transportation committee. i am nominating vice chairman david campos for the chair ship. commissioner campos: if i could ask commissioner farrell to chair this portion of the meeting. commissioner farrell: colleagues, do we have any other nominations?

commisioner wiener: i just wanted to speak in support of commissioner kim's nomination of commissioner campos. he and i have worked closely together over the past year on many transportation issues, particularly at the mtc, but elsewhere as well. although we do not always agree on everything, we have developed a close working relationship on these issues and will be supporting the nomination. commissioner farrell: thank you. commissioner cohen? commissioner cohen: i would like to nominate commissioner wiener for vice chair. commissioner farrell: i think will hold off on my chair until we finish the chair voting process. commissioner avalos: i just wanted to speak in favor of commissioner campos' nomination

to chair the transportation authority. i am a firm believer in his integrity and his great work, working in regional bodies, working with the mtc, golden gate, bridge authority. i think he will bring a great deal of knowledge to the transportation authority. we all work well collaborative lee with supervisor campos. his work on the fast pass has been instrumental in moving an agenda that is really about transit justice in san francisco. having a person with his perspective on the transportation authority chair role will be extremely important. i give him my firm support. commissioner farrell: thank you, commissioner avalos. commissioner chiu? commissioner chiu: i want to
