and we've had a more sensitive budget and that's our part. is a let me turn this over to supervisor representative districts 5 (clapping) >> hi i'll be brief like the mayor i can about how we allocate our resources. members of the board we look at what's most important to allocate our revenues the type of programs and i want to highlight a few things i'm going to be paying attention to. the department of health and family has said that the population in district 5 of children has decreased and
6:12 pm
therefore the amount of funding for districts 5 is decreasing. i have some real concerns about making sure that we have quality programs and it can't be just about the number of served but the quantity. our at risk populations the kinds of things we deal with the reason we exercised a decrease in our homicide rate is because of all the great works of many of the folks in our district. i'm going to be paying attention to and in addition to the young people who are homeless in the hate. i think we have to look at the numbers of young folks who are over the age of 18 who are homeless who ran away because of
6:13 pm
abusive relationships. we have to make sure we're looment resources to make sure we're addressing that issue. and one of the others things i've made clear is public housing is a priority to me. i'm proud to say that the mayor is working really hard. the issues of public housing is not an overnight problem nor will it be an overnight solutions. and the people those conditions impact that's a real priority for me. and one of the things we continue to negligent is our vulnerable senior population where seniors are being taken
6:14 pm
advantage of we have to protect our most vulnerable population. i'm more excited to hear with you have to say and thank you all for being here. i want to turn it over to the budget chair mark farrell. >> thank you supervisor. don't we have a great new colleague in districts 5 everyone? so i'm the periphery for districts 2 and i'm serving as the budget chair on the board of supervisors. as mayor lee mentioned we're doing those hall meetings one on the internet and it's important to hear your concerns and your priorities in the communities. from my prospectiveful from the

6:17 pm
6:18 pm
6:19 pm
overcrowded. >> so welcome everyone again thank you for coming to spend your monday with us in this way. i'm the director of programs with the united players we're a leadership in san francisco. i'm born and raised in san francisco. i want to say appreciate you that everyone came out today. everyone is not going to be able to speak but when you come in fill out a comment card and some of them will be randomly selected. and the cards will be shared with the supervisors so your voice will be heard.
6:20 pm
to get started i'm going to give it to kate howard to educate us. >> hi ink i'm kate howard the mayors budget director. i want to let you know that supervisor kim is stuck in the land use committee oh, she's done she's coming over here. so i thought i would share with you san francisco's budget. and really a budget is a plan. it's a plan for how we're going to spend all the money that comes into the city. it's also a law that the board of supervisors has to adopt every year and it's the official authority to spend the money.
6:21 pm
so i thought i would do a quick overview. as you know that san francisco say combined city and county. and it's about $7.4 million every year. we have to balance that budget for two years. we're trying to budget the 13, 14 and 15, 16. the majority of our spending is on transportation and that compromises a lot of our department and we spend things like the airport or the ports were we spend about fourteen
6:22 pm
percent on public protection like police and fire and 20 percent on public health. sometimes, people asked me where do we get our money and it's from all of you the taxpayers provided the resources. but more specifically get about in the general fund which is about 3 and a half billion dollars from property taxed and from business taxes we have the sales tax and hotel room tax. about one out $5 comes from the state or federal government. we pay all those taxes when the state government or federal government makes a change it
6:23 pm
effects us. over the last few years we've taken some good steps to make our budget more sustainable and we have a 5 year outcome. and what i can see here is that over the next 5 years so the the light gray line on the right-hand side that's showing you what our expenditure productions are looking like and the dark gray line on the left is the revenues. so assembly over the next 5 years our expenditures are going to grow.
6:24 pm
the economy is starting to recover but there's still is a gap between running the city's government and how much money we're going to take in. finally i just wanted to share with you some of the information we have. as i mention balancing the budget is understanding the resources that are available and then thinking about how those reservoirs bit i fit together with the city's priority that's what we want i to talk about. but what's kind of interesting is the 311. 5 and 6 districts the most interesting issues are street cleaning and graffiti. if those are concerns we want to hear about them and other things. i also want to mention who you
6:25 pm
have up here listening today but if we from the far left we have the juvenile division and the department of children maybe the whole back row. office of the economical department of emergency management. the department of building inspection, public works, the school district and our city librarian and host. i feel like a choir director we have the aging and adult services and child services the health department the adult
6:26 pm
probation department the control and the mayors housing department. and finally we have recreation and park our supervisors and the police department you've already seen the fire chief. i also wanted to introduce the workforce development and the office of - that's everybody so without any further adieu let's hear from you >> thank you, my apologys for being late. i'm so proud we had such a great
6:27 pm
