myself. as a group we have applied for different grants. and in chinatown we try to lead programs signatures programs that provide seniors to learn new technology. we start this youth program i would have spent my time at home and not get involved in the community issues pardon i hope i who don't have much in leadership that you will come together and improve the community together to have more youth benefits >> thank you i was the president of the youbt of single

so we will understand how it works >> john deputy city attorney the charter provides that they can't interfere with the separation of powers they have the ability to make decisions about how to award the fund but the board makes the policy decisions about what the priorities is of the department will be. so it is appropriate for the board to look at how different communities are being served and allocate funding and priorities to serve at the different community in the cities but the

board can't cut the funding for particular entities. >> thank you, mr. city attorney. colleagues any more comments? seeing none? can we continue this to those the call of the chair? >> i have a request after the school that some folks are coming forward - >> this rfp what direction for youth and leadership empowerment. the next one will be violence intervention. we just pled the distribution o.

thank you so much >> colleagues if there's no other complilts can i have a motion to assign the college here? mr. clerk call item number one. >> appropriating 5 hundred and 39 million to over time and 39 thousand million consisting of permanent salaries and in benefits in the fire department's operating budget in order to support the firefighters over time requests. >> let's hear from the fire

department. >> good afternoon. today as you know we're here to request a reallocation of our budget. as a result of the legislation that was passed in 2011 we have to come before you. within its own budget as now as i said we here to formerly request the offer time fund. technically it's considered - it's simple a transfer thought of of fus from salary due the overtime. just a little bit of a background of your offer time. it's used to meet our mandatory

staffing requirement and it is filled with regularly scheduled he individuals and salaries or offer minded. over time has been used for its fiscal and operation efficiency. the department is a consulted with the. the way to reduce overtime would be to hire additional personnel into the field we did have 18 hundred members now we have lost 4 hundred positions and obviously we've had to rely on

overtime. the department budgets for over all staffing level using a combination of regular saliva depending upon the staffing level it can be seasonal. we have as i said seen a high-level of overtime including this year based on our staffing level. we have 4 additional personnel per day and that added to our staffing. we've seen lower staffing which requires more high use of mandatory over time.

i've disrespected about particularly in the summer months. we're happy that mayor lee has championed this. we did - we're happy to report we graduated 28 new recruiter and has provided some help we see the light at the end of the tunnel. we've got to make steps forward. but again we'll have staff that has never been so low. the pendulum as swung in the

direction we have safety concerns and too much over time. i know that the supervisors understand the neat e need to bring the staffing up in the fire department. a few more things i'll point out. the one of the things we've duplicate is most recently is we have modified a policy where the department of human services. we've worked with the labors. we had a d o w policy as you know there's a cap for the cap for firefighters is 6 hundred and 33 hours. if someone is willing to work on

overtime shift the exception is granted for that. also which comes up not very often is if the person is not been able to be on a working shift and they have to go to mooned training but that's not used often that were and if we were to go to wildland fires then we receive money from that >> so that being said we have higher earners. so people are put into the shift we're allowing those to work who want to at unsafe levels. one of the things we've done
