i also share your leave the community development efforts have an important role to play. but i want to refer back to an answer that i gave to supervisor cohen last month. we have a number of innovative collaborative efforts on the way. in the interest of time, i will not repeat my answer from last month. but these community-based organizations, serving summer employment opportunities for young people, the leadership camps that we have engaged in, through that we can foster a sense of community that does not tolerate violence. suffice it to say that the police to play a critical role, but they cannot be the only answer to gun violence within the african-american community. where the police department can

specifically getting gaged is the station's overlapping in my area. they have developed enforcement plans that result in strategic employment. plainclothes officers between the hours of 11:00 a.m. at 9:00 p.m. -- 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. the last thing i want to be clear about is a response to specific concerns of yours. as a former civil rights attorney, i hold dear to my heart the personal protections afforded to was under the fourth amend and. those rights are sacrosanct. as we continue our discussion about violence reduction, i will not support or put forward any proposal that will violate those protections.

i look forward to collaborating with you in continuing this conversation, knowing that we have to come up with more bold strategy to keep the guns out of our neighborhoods. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. that includes the formal policy discussions for today. madam clerk, let's go to our regular agenda. please call on items two through 23. >> items two through 23. proposed budget and annual appropriation ordinance appropriating all estimated receipts and all estimated expenditures for departments of the city and county of san francisco as of may 31, 2012, for the fys ending june 30, 2013, and june 30, 2014. item number three, annual salary ordinance enumerating positions in the annual budget and appropriation ordinance for the fys ending june 30, 2013, and june 30, 2014, continuing, creating or establishing these positions; enumerating and including therein all positions created by charter or state law

additional support for many of our neighborhood commercial areas. the supervisor and i had talked about our areas in need of additional attention. the department of building inspection allows the city to move things through and stop being the bottleneck for many projects, putting seventh is the back to work. supervisor wiener has talked about this time and again. of course, there are reinvestments to our recreation and parks departments and there are investments in health and human services. the board has matched the 1% costs of the business adjustment for our supervisor -- for our providers. also backing up those federal cuts to hiv aids services, something many have continued to

act -- advocate for. there are a number of different things that many have done to absorbable works. supervisors have mentioned priorities of their own in which we were vigilant about realigning in the way that we should. finally, the supervisor has indicated time and again that we are continuing to invest in partnerships within the local school district. something to the tune of $6 million from the rainy day reserve in year one to the estimated $4.7 million to be relate -- released in year two. this was on top of the ancillary support from the department of children, youth, and families. finally, and this is something i know that the supervisor would enjoy, we are planning reserves for the unexpected impact on the

local economy. although small, the general fund reserve is expected to increase policy in general fund reserve. they are expected to continue to increase in the year no. 2. we have an estimated $7.8 million, we hope, deposited into the reserve in year one to whether significant downturns in the economy. finally, something that is important to me in the budget is $15 million in terms of a state reserve to deal with the impact that we are expecting to come down the pipeline. this allows us to put ourselves in a better position to deal with adult day care cuts, potentially, when courts have gone through these proceedings to talk about some size child care and other things that are state related cuts. of course, there are a few

things that are a for it -- that our first time items. this is the first time the city has put together a balanced two geared budget. i cannot underscore the importance of that. we did allocate $32 million over two years with $18 million that were one time closing out old projects or accepted revenues in a current year. the board allocated that money responsibly with a rough balance for both years. i wanted to say that that was something that was important. finally, another area where they were first, the budget proposed a small amount of money for each district to reallocate needs. there were $100,000 for each district to deal with things like -- can be put additional striping on the roadways?

can we basically allow for each individual's supervisor to respond to the needs that may arise over the course of the year? of course, no budget is part of it -- perfect. there will be pieces that we disagree with, but over all the packages down at want to thank the many people involved in the process and made it work. of course, to president chiu, helping to negotiate the package that came together in the last day, and most importantly and with the top thanks to my own committee members and all of your aides. i know that many of them played an important role. i want to thank our clerk and you're capable office, who sat with us through many hours of meetings and helped us to shepherd through the different pieces of legislation, and the mayor's office and staff, who

worked in partnership with us to bring us to conclusion. our city attorney and comptroller's office and many others, and finally a big thanks to my own aides, who have worked very hard to make sure that this process was smooth, making sure that no pieces were left behind. she really is an outstanding aid and person, so i wanted to give a special thanks to her. with that, colleagues, of welcome to our future conversation. >> supervisor? >> thank you. i wanted to acknowledge the work of the committee chair -- supervisor avalos: i wanted to acknowledge the work of the committee chair. your work has been tremendous.

your complex policy was amazing. transparency has repeated back what the department has said to us, making it slightly less complicated. i think that that commitment to making sure of that, the public and people in the room are aware of what it's for. it is important to have and i think you did that very well. i also believe that we have a budget that is a compromise budget, but a budget that really reflects all the different input that has come from this body. the quota would be a good part of it, from the administration, as well. i feel great about the budget and have district 11 has been treated in this budget.

i think it we were able to compensate for my district not getting a lot of resources in past years, even my was the chair of the budget committee. those resources will be tremendous for open spaces, streets, and pedestrian safety work force development and agriculture, which could be a great boon for our neighborhoods. i want to thank my colleagues for the flexibility of looking at district 11 and how it could serve in a greater way that has been. we do not have a lot of development in my district that brings in a lot of other dollars and this is a way to compensate for that. thank you. of course, the comptroller, the budget analyst, victor young, cheryl adams, all of your work as well was tremendous. you brought a great attention to detail to help us in this committee.

thank you. >> supervisor? >> thank you. k -- im -- kim? supervisor kim: thank you. this budget came after many hours of work. many people were with us until 5:00 in the morning. i do agree that many of our priorities were able to make it into this budget. certainly, it was a compromise. everyone listened to each other and heard about the variety of needs that our city has to find. as always, the budget document that we put forward is a document of our priorities. i think that this represents the best of what our representatives had to offer in terms of what they thought should be included

and what taxpayers thought should be invested back into. as we continue that discussion through november, hopefully, with a discussion on how we tax businesses and best create an investment pool for investing in our streets, schools, and after- school programs, with fire and police and many of the services you were able to include within the budget, i look forward to a robust discussion around what that might be. we are talking about the largest budget our city has seen, some of this has to do with the fact that we are seeing an upturn in the economy. of course, for every good, there are always some-'s that follow -- negatives that follow, and i want to make sure that we are still supporting small

businesses in folks who are not doing well. but i do want to recognize that we were able to do this work with increased revenues coming in. i am happy to see that after six years of cutting down to the bone, many of our city services but, like street cleaning or after-school programs, we were able to restore some of that this year. i want to thank my committee members. even when we disagree, i think we did a great job of listening to each other and hammering through details. of course, our support staff and legislative analysts were also thanked. in particular i want to recognize [unintelligible] you just have to crunch numbers. thank you.

supervisor cohen: i just want to say thank you, colleagues. i think that the mayor's budget office, controllers, we have all been saying it today, but i just want to say it one more time. thank you. this was my first time serving with you on the budget. but it was definitely a learning experience. there are a couple of things i was proud that we were able to do, like funding language access and adding more money to this very important item. we were successfully able to restore the redevelopment program. carmen left this one off the list, but i wanted to make sure the begot a shout out here, the extended hours for local libraries. i think that that was particularly important.

also, thank you to the budget committee for putting together a strong budget to address these efforts in the southeast neighborhoods, as well as investments for negotiations to keep candlestick park opened. it is the only state park in an urban area. also, the budget also reflects significant investment in the city's parks, public structures, spaces, and street. it felt good to be able to work with a coalition of folks interested in restoring the cost of doing business. it felt good to make more of a hold than what was initially discussed on the table. thank you. >> i think that the committee did a fantastic job. thank you to all of my colleagues for pulling together on this. supervisor avalos: one thing that i forgot to mention, we

were talking about restoring some of these nonprofits, making sure that they did not just have flat funding, year after year, one area that has received funding since 2006 has been our initiative for violence against men -- women, to prevent violence against women. we have put $250,000 this year into the budget. it is significant to provide a lot of support for the people doing great work and keeping women safe and sheltered, making great choices with their lives. but i hope that in future years the money can be restored as we analyze the budget and it can be included in the future budget. that next year, as we are approving the next budget cycle, we can have $250,000.

the city definitely needs to put that money there to protect women. thank you. supervisor elsbernd: first, let me start high again following in the words of everyone else who has spoken, the leadership budget committee and staff, recognizing the important points that have been raised, that this is a document that is a collection of compromise and budget priorities, a demonstration of the mayor's office working together to meet common goals, like services in san francisco. i know that it is highly rare, very rarely does it happen that amendments are made to the full budget. admittedly, i have a great

memory of the gentleman who sat in this seat a couple of years ago, making one motion after another, failing repeatedly in my head. i never want to be one to repeat history. i want to learn from history. but you all know that i have a great deal of concern about the additional aids in each office. that is $1 million that, frankly, i think could be spent on much better priorities. of everything we have heard in public comment over the last few years, i have never once heard best. specifically in district 7 i have attended hundreds of meetings and i cannot think of one time that a resident of district 7 said to me -- i wish that you had more staff. i cannot tell you ever anyone

telling me that this was a budget priority. that said, not wanting to repeat history, stand here and make everyone a run through the motion of rejecting one motion after another, making you demonstrate to the voters your priorities, like reducing the arboretum feet, increasing rental subsidies for low-income content, city college, public education. god knows that we could come up with a pandora's box of priorities that i think if we step back we would think were more important. not going to do that. but, i would ask this board to show the district in the but of deference. i have worked within district 7 for 12 years. i know what the district needs. it does not need three aides

serving it. i would ask for this board to approve a motion redirecting $107,000 from the attrition savings and board of supervisors' budget, reallocating it to the district's seven pot of money that the budget committee created at $100,000. we all came back to that fund. i have no intention of hiring this aid. if you are concerned that i am leaving in six months, i am asking you to be direct the first year. if my successor things they need three aides, that money will be there on july 1. i think that this is a respectful and simple request, for you to showed deference to someone who has earned credibility in knowing what the

district needs. we need pedestrian safety and capital improvements, not a third aid. there are 1 million more priorities than that. i am not making that motion, i am simply leaving it to the district. that is the motion. i ask you for your support. supervisor elsbernd: i would like to second. [applause] supervisor kim: i just wanted to appreciate the supervisors comments on the budget and say that, when i am at committee meetings, i never hear constituents asking us to increase the mayor's office staff, or increase the mayor's office of economic work force

budget development. i never hear them ask for the increase of any budget department, get every year we continually increase the size of their city because of the need for services. i do think that we often see different sets of needs within the district. district 6, which i represent, south of market treasure island and the mission bay, we have residents and constituents coming in every day asking for jobs and housing. i think that there is a tremendous amount of need that i am more adequate be able to serve if i had legislative aides to deal with that. we have a portion of the california pacific medical center. we had much of this development that we were seeing coming out of the east side of the city,

putting a tremendous amount of strain in workload upon the staff that i have that has to do a tremendous amount of research and outreach so that we can best represent the needs of our districts surrounding these major development plans. i really do want to respect the work of the aids that i have. i think that is being included in the budget is a level of respect in conferring to the staff but i know work way over 40 hours per week already and are paid part-time. i want to say that this is where constituents are different. i have not had one day in office where someone has not ask for either housing or a job. i know that that is not a credible threat city, i think that we ask a tremendous amount from the office that we do.

i wanted to point out that in relationship, many of our sister cities are far more under- staffed. boston has four legislative aides and los angeles, although they do represent a higher number in the population, they have 18.9. in order for us to do the work our constituents expect of us, we need to be able to do the service and reports that exist. i want to respect each office and if you feel that they can be better spent in pedestrian or public safety, i will better support you on that. thank you. supervisor wiener: thank you. i will also support supervisor elsbernd's motion.

each supervisor knows what his or her district needs. frankly, if the supervisor decided that he or she did not need any legislative aides and wanted to turn that backed, the supervisor could donate his or her salary back in and maybe the money for the desks and computers in the office. it would undermine the effectiveness of the board of supervisors as an independent legislative branch. checks and balances, the mayor's office, exercising fiduciary oversight on the budget. oversight on the budget. you know, people have thi
