2:00 pm
you were reading your target for the upcoming two years. i wanted to clarify, in the different production items, there is no call for senior services. in terms of the reduction target, this was inclusive of your entire department of budget, right? so there was not a huge impact on the document portion? >> again, we were able to balance in a way that would not impact services. supervisor chu: so the only area that it may affect those services is on contract savings? >> right. supervisor chu: at this moment it looks like you have met the target except for the $5 million
2:01 pm
from the mayor's office? >> correct. supervisor chu: it may well be that the mayor's office will ask for additional cuts, i am guessing? >> supervisor, from the mayor's budget, yes, we continue to be in discussions with the budget, although you can see that they have been extremely helpful. we are still looking everywhere we can for additional money. supervisor chu: ok, thank you. colleagues, if we do not have any questions at this time, of like to open it up for public comment. i would like to draw attention to the fact that even though it books balanced at this moment, we are not sure if it is yet, because we need a decision from the mayor's office. that's open this up for public comment. are there members of the public it wished to speak on this item? >> sethank you, supervisors.
2:02 pm
thank you for raising the item. it was exactly the peace that wanted to speak to. i can speak on behalf of the human services network, on behalf of the network in the providers, certainly my colleagues and provision service homeless folks were very grateful for the approach that the apartment " -- that the department took in the revenue approach. i think we are optimistic, but deeply concerned as well, should we have to go to the alternative plan. there has been little discussion of that. i am sort of glad for that, because i think it adds to the ammunition of getting not enough revenue for balancing this. as i do not recall the numbers exactly, i think we were looking
2:03 pm
at something like $900,000 in the alternative plan, if that had to be called on. $600,000 cut from shelters. i think i am putting it on target, maybe $1 million cut to resource centers. of course, other cuts would have to happen as well. i had the misfortune of not being able to be at the meeting in hearing last week. i know that you cover the base on this, but i can only tell you that caught on that level would be nothing short of disastrous in terms of our ability as provider agencies to continue the services we are doing. i hope we do not go there. i expect that we probably will not, but i just wanted to make sure that that did not escape your attention. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you.
