commission in 2000. now in 2001 they received approval of a transfer of the contract. now this brings us to phase 2. as part of phase two and required by the lease o d s pilot to alameda county and what those rotations is it allows a greater depth and to expand the mining operation to a 50 acre parcel. and during the second phase of the project where significant had beention. most of those projects are part of the deal that was answered
12:31 am
the question with the center for diversity and the alameda creek aligns. the other projects had their lease with the o s and puc. one project is a construction of a cut off law that will help keep water flows in the creek that will best serve the habitat. and next the burial of a habitat burial line. another project involves the partial revenge of san antonio creek. and to encourage fish migration.
12:32 am
now in addition to the response to the concerns of the folks o d s entered a contract to serve the interests of the folks. i want to point out that the puc is not a party to that agreement nor is the puc a party to the conservation contract i mentioned. and phase 2 the o d s has agreed to chances to expend the lease so it will be co- termed with the schedule for the preference of certainty improvements such as a utility on the premises. and it will have an expansion to the premises that will minimize
12:33 am
the projects that are ongoing in the area. it will define the contribution and some issues around the concrete plant. now revisions f to s m p revisions are jury room review. the city retains very important rights to this process. that specifically the city has the right to approve the content of those revisions to make sure they go along with the lease. the city retains the right to add mitigations to the policy. the city reserves the right to
12:34 am
approve the revisions of s m p if the significant impacts can't be reduced. now because of the city development after a review of the sequa documents has determined that sixth environmental impacts can in fact be reduced to a less than significant level the puc recommendations that the sequa findings be approved. subject to the board of supervisors approval >> comments? >> welcome >> thank you good afternoon, commissioners. jeff millers i'm speaking on and

12:36 am
in addition this lease enables some restoration. this reduced the quarry by allowing the infrastructure to be put on the quarry. and in addition this contributes to the pg&e plan up to $2 million for critical fish passages and in the lower creek they're going to open the whole creek up to trout again. the puc has found a beneficial lease holder and tenant. we found them to be very easy to work with and i'm very interested in the environmental improvements and i noticed the interests for them to work with

this lease provision p we spent a tremendous amount of time with jim summers and we found which usually we're on the other side of the table but in this specific project we're extremely pleased with the kind of cooperation that we had. the kind of assistance and understanding the complex issues that the folks in the area had concerns about. we got a lot of straight information wherever we asked our questions. i think i can. for the general population that the community is pleased with the process. and we're extremely pleased with the final outcome. there will be a community fund
12:39 am

12:42 am
12:43 am
>> good morning. thank you for joining me here at the board chambers, and thank you to board president david chiu, budget chair mark farrell, members of the board of supervisors, our elected officials, our commissioners, and our department heads. and welcome, members of the public who joined us this morning. this year's budget reflects a lot of hard work between city government and the people that we serve. we've met in every district of the city. we've worked with our elected city family. we listened to hundreds of community leaders and providers who help us deliver services to the people of san francisco.
12:44 am
and it's because of this consensus approach that i'm proud to propose a responsible and balanced two-year budget that reflects the core values that we share in san francisco, values of fiscal responsibility, social responsibility, and investing in our city's future. when we began this year's budget, we began like many years before, trying to reduce significant budget deficits. but because we have pursued policies to control costs, grow our economy, create jobs and stabilize our fiscal health, this year i'm proposing a budget that protects our social safety net, one that increases public safety, and one that invests in our city's infrastructure at unprecedented levels. and it is a budget that significantly grows our city's reserves. this budget is being delivered
12:45 am
as san francisco's economy is recovering, going, and moving in the right direction. and san franciscans are getting back to work. in fact, our unemployment rate has dropped, as you all know, from 9.5% in january of 2011 to an astounding 5.4% just last month. (applause) >> i know, i know it has -- it has not been easy. we've had to work hard with our health services system, our care -- our health care providers, and labor to reduce employee health care costs. and because of our collaboration, we will now save $52 million over the next two years. and we've made tough but necessary choices on everything from escalating pension costs to reforming our unfair job punishing business tax.
12:46 am
we've injected a healthy dose of fiscal discipline with two-year budgeting, five-year financial planning, and a 10-year capital plan to get to us this point. but it's been worth it. san francisco's credit ratings have been upgraded by every rating agency in the past year, making our tax dollars go further when we deliver capital projects, and giving our city even more investor confidence. so, now it is not the time to take our eyes off the ball. we have to continue reforms to protect our city's economic recovery and make our city safe, solvent, and successful. like taking meaningful action to address our $4.4 billion of unfunded retiree health care liability. thank you, supervisor mark farrell, for taking this on. you have my full support on this important issue. (applause)
12:47 am
>> while reforms and sacrifices have spared us deep cuts we've experienced during the deepest part of our economic downturn, we still have much work to do. this year's projected $123.6 million general fund shortfall and next year's $256 million shortfall requires strategic choices and strategic investment. so, in this budget you will see fiscal prudence, a high level of services to our residents, investments that protect our social safety net, increased public safety support for our neighborhoods, support for our critical infrastructure, and investments in our economy and job creation. one thing we agreed on early was that in the time of state and federal cuts, protecting our social safety net is more important than ever. so, therefore, i have rejected
12:48 am
all proposed year-one mental health and substance abuse reductions from public health department and i have restored $4 million in federal cuts to programs serving people with aids and hiv. (applause) >> and, and we will continue our efforts to be a healthier city. the affordable care act will extend health insurance to 35,000 san franciscans and our department of public health and human services agency will implement our nation's health care reform. but on our streets there are still too many people, families without a place to call home. and that's why we are extending a dedicated emergency family shelter to provide year round services, adding 25 more units of family supportive housing and supporting a new approach to housing transitional aids youth and getting them
12:49 am
connected to work. (applause) >> to offset the state's deep cuts to our school district, this proposed budget includes an unprecedented $110 million in education support over the next two years, and we are taking on additional responsibilities at our school districts where we will see new support from the private sector for middle schools, and new support with our federal partners with promised neighborhoods grants. and thanks to our city librarian, we will be extending library hours throughout our city. (applause) >> we are going to make san francisco an even safer city. we developed a six-year police staff and fire staffing plan to
12:50 am
train san francisco's first responders. over the next two years ~ san francisco will hire 300 new sworn police officers with six new academy classes. and we will add 120 firefighters with three new fire academy classes. with with 35 construction cranes across our skyline, you can see public and private construction jobs being created every day. in fact, an estimated 223,000 jobs will be created over the next 10 years from city projects alone. for our part, we're making a sound investment of $25.1 billion in capital projects over the next 10 years through our city's ten-year capital plan. this proposed budget includes unprecedented levels of general fund sub poderth for these smart capital investments. ~ support $72 million in year one and $105 million in year two.
12:51 am
thank you, president david chiu, for your collaboration on our city's 10 year capital plan that will ensure we strategically invest in our city's infrastructure. (applause) >> now, this budget will fully fund the street repaving program to improve streets and sidewalks and continue construction and planning on critical projects such as the water and sewer system improvement programs, our new general hospital, the bayview opera house, and improvements to muni. and thanks to the 195 million dollar voter approved parks bond, we will continue to invest in our parks and open spaces. (applause) ~ >> last year, together with the support of voters, we passed the housing trust fund, a $1.5 billion stream of funding over
12:52 am
the next 30 years for affordable housing and assistance to first-time home buyers. over the next two years we have budgeted $42.8 million for new affordable housing development for helping first-time homeowners including first responders with down payment assistance and preserving and stabilizing existing housing. here's a fact. every public dollar for new affordable housing development will be leveraged with two private dollars. all of these investments are needed to protect the housing stock in our city and to make sure san francisco can be affordable. and we are doing it smartly with some of the strongest tenant protectionses in place. the small businesses are at the heart and soul of our local economy. my proposed budget includes funding for an online business portal to cut through bureaucratic red tape and make it easier for an entrepreneur to start and operate a business
12:53 am
in san francisco. this budget continues my invest in neighborhoods initiative that is creating customized plans in 25 different neighborhood commercial districts and providing job squad and providing a job squad that brings city hall to our neighborhood businesses. and because san francisco's truly a global city, we're going to build on the success of china s.f. and expand our outreach to latin america and asian market street, not just to attract businesses to come here, but i'd like for us to really begin to introduce "made in san francisco" products to these growing market street. (applause) ~ markets >> while the worst of the economic crisis may be behind us, we cannot deviate from our commitment to fiscal responsibility and reform. we will continue to invest in
12:54 am
our neighborhoods, in our infrastructure, and most importantly, in our people. i want to recognize budget chair supervisor mark farrell again for leading the budget effort and making this a very collaborative process. i want to thank my staff led by steve kava, and to my budget office led by kate howard. and also a great thanks to ben rosenfield, our city controller and his staff, and then an anticipated thanks in advance to budget analyst harvey rose for his anticipated cooperation. [laughter] >> so, i know this is short, but i think you look at the budget. to me it's quite a sweet budget. so, let's roll up our sleeves. let's get this budget done collaboratively. and then let's spend our time making sure that we get 6,000 jobs for our youth this summer. thank you very much. (applause)
