1:13 am
plan. our beginning balance this year was $16.6 million. the reason we have this plan is because we've used prop $10 because we spent it we did accumulate a fund balance. we're spending out that fund balance so we'll zero identity in june neo 15. and i'll tell you how we're using that reserve. are the 3 and 4 years old if live in 70 we're filling the back cuts and that restores the kits that the state made for all the 3 and 4 beyond a reasonable doubt and this includes head

question? >> actually, i really appreciate the strategic approach to the use of the state money and also the pop funds. but i want to ask about the back appealing of the state cuts like how much of that is coming from the prop h funds? that is coming from the prop h funds >> so covering 4 thousand children coming from the prop h fund -- i'm wondering about what i anticipate in the future as we backfill? and i'm wondering. >> i know we've been working with the office working around and planning out our budget and
1:18 am
the trends in the long run. we've been using our reserve and at some point that reserve is going to be over but we still have stated and a local cuts we have to be strategic. but it is you know the more that the city covers the state cuts and i think it causes quite a dilemma. and we want to make sure our lower income children have a preschool good experience. okay shall i go on. you can see we serve a lot of children in our family resource centers we've screened 5 thousand children a year here's

agencies so they can streamline the fund. to the department of public health we send the money for the health centers. and we send the funds that we have in our prevention of violence. if you add the departmental work orders you're looking at approximately $70 million we send out. and i get questions of how do we monitor those grants. we have developed a 3 prong approach to supporting our grantees. and that's to do fiscal oversight in which our grantees receive a visit from us to
