really support budget allocations toward creating more a task force it combaengz a diversity of constituents. we hope to conduct more of an independent analysis. the pb was a clue of process to help organize the priorities and it will be a great opportunity to engage communities in education and built across different culturals and neighborhood. obliging dating.org like that and i'm going to invite up greg >> thank you on participatey

budget. thank you for having us here you today. i'm a citizen of san francisco. i live actually in supervisor faerlz district and i was pleased to learn in district 3 my neighbors had the opportunity to participate in san francisco's pilot of pb. as president chut u chu said i always work at google. i work on the social impact before we like the democratic participation. in learning about the various methods of the democracy i become greatly interested because i have it's proven track record of improving coalition

and to idea solution for those needs. to refine them and to prioritize them and to over see the implementation is a major drive of bringing folks together. skilled and problem solving and democraticly engaged. people became so involved it's like a school of democracy for more engagement in ones community. and it results in happier citizens. where pb washgs was first

conceived they believe it is a interesting program. i spend most of my days drinking coffee and thinking about how technology can help folks. to this end i'm particle thrilled about exploring ways that technology my enhance the pb. technology can help to reap more people so in essence making the process even more representative. right now it's just a little past 3:00 p.m. on a wednesday and if we look around the room

we can sense that the people at this meeting might not constitute all the folks who want to be here. it describes those kind of gap for the opportunity for those who have the time to come out and those don't. through mobile and other forms of technology we can streamline the technology so it, fit into the public's schedule. another area where teenage can make technology inclusionary any people lack competency in los angeles so the mobile would

allow people to participate without knowing english. in fact, one of the delegates said it allowed folks who know spanish could flush out the words in other form. this would be particularly important in san francisco where language is spoken in 44 percent of household. the second way technology is to enhance pb allow people to collaborate more ways that compliments calculation. it can help to organize a thought. imagine for example a pb proposal in which the wisdom can

allow people to build off other knowledge. so 15 i would like to add when i think of san francisco i think of innovation. we're already wired citizens and we have the opportunity to leverage our technology to innovative in democracy. this is something that really only san francisco, california do. as a constituent i would be exist to know that san francisco can be an example to the world about how democracy cabaret vithd. lastly, i want to thank you for inviting me out >> thank you much.

mr. chair if he could go to public comment. i want to thank folks who he know came as participants in this process. can i call up folks (calling names) and then other who may wish to commit on that >> i'm bypassing i'm a renter. i've olden on district 3 for more than thirty years. i want to compliment president chiu that was working on that part to his talented aid. i attended the neighborhood meeting that were used to gather suggestions i was greatly compressed by what i saw.

having lived in the district for 20 plus years i saw that the people who attended those meters were broadly representative of district 3. there were interpreters to allow people to have varies a translations into cantonese. i heard suggestions i would not have in and out of myself. there were scores of participants. lucky there was a knowledgeable person from the staff and her services were invaluable. the folks who were at those meters where in my mind broadlyly representative of the residents of district 3 and i

think the same can be true of other districts. this is a creativity and worthwhile process and i urge the other supervisors applying similar projects in their districts. i think the public clock is 10 minutes. okay >> peter executive director of library yourselves orchestras. i hope you'll join us in looking for proper emphasis on the book budgets since one of the projects was adding more non-english chinese book

collection. the book budget has been frozen. it's not clear to me with what the permeates are and who sets the perimeters on what kinds of areas of decision are available to be made and we started out with the presentation making a difference and how little difference apparently supervisor chu thought this body was

>> good afternoon supervisors i appreciate the light and thank you david for bringing this process to light. it very, very inclusive process i think that the group have set up a framework of ibm

exclusiveness of ability. i didn't have the experience and background but hearing the things that my neighbors heard helped to create a tight bond and tie to the rest of the community. it's a very important process and brings the industry together it creates a tighter fabric to have a voice in to improve things to make an impact on the quality of life. thank you >> good afternoon supervisors i'm james representing community housing partnership. we're piloting this month our residents and in all 11 of our

buildings. the community projects that will happen. we'll so excited we couldn't decide to take it citywide. we see in the very beginning of this process where residents are actually getting a better sense of what goes on no keeping their buildings running so a lot of the accusations disappear because they're taking the time to educate us and we them and the buildings should evolve. i want to say something i work as a large non-profit i spoke

for agencies that ideally should have some kinds of conflicts of interest so they do not get the participation and we'll be happy to help flush out those policies. thank you >> next speaker >> bean a long time that about been a long time. been a long, long long time. good luck with item 9. been a long, long long time. make it budget you summer budget you shine. been a long time been a long time that the needs the city time. and it's been a long time been a

long time loopholes be nice and kind. and i heard you were downtown working driving all the city crazy. the budgets back in town the budget is back in town. and you it's the budget you want to fight over the budget i'm going to let you. and you know that place it city hall in districts 3 is there

was an unbelievable amount of outreach to people who are generally attached and they were brought into the process. we're aver competitive and dynamic county.

it was interesting at the meetings the initial meetings that not only were the usual suspects there the people you see walking popping up your halls but people you don't traditionally he see and this was the credit to the disengaged population. so far as we were concerned the community involvement and working with the supervisors staff and developing the balance the whole concept gets an a. where we have much to learn is in the prelims. you have to avoid pitting one neighborhood against each other it shouldn't be russian and chinatown. expectations go needs to be managed. we have very partiality

residents who believe passionately in their projects and i need to explain why their projects didn't win so results needs to be transparent. we looked to working with supervisors and staff to do a better job next time >> mr. chair i think that is the end of public comment. >> so let's close public climate. seeing no other public comments >> first of all, i want to thank all of the partners we worked with and all the folks who come out today. one of the things as an

supervisor in district 3 i work with a lot of deprives people all up and down the neighborhood exist and what was so special about the pilot was because our constituents met each other. you see them and try to merge them together. i want to take a moment and thank the controllers office and for this lady's direct participation. i want to thank mayor lee and their commitment to working with the board and how to sharp the participatey budget. i look forward to having this discussion with you further. i want to thank you for the time this afternoon and educating the

public. i want to ask a couple questions. i know that the hundred thousand dollars discretionary amount was a one-time thing. i'm curious what is the thing for further allegations. i know you have to have a significant amount of money looks like new york city had $1 million per district and chicago had significantly more and va la it had $3.2 million. it has to be a significant amount of money. i want to ask supervisor chu it sounds like amy provided a lot

of the support but is there any dollar amount about how much it cost your district to do this and on the city level. i'm throwing different questions in my head. i know in brazil they were addressing the whole municipal budget of 4.5 million people and allocating $2.3 million of fund it seems the empowerment how much of that gets trooldz when we bring it to new york or chicago. i think it's a wonderful project. i'm looking forward to decisions how we can bring this to my

district >> last year, we decided as a board to include millions for other buckets. it could be something this board of 11 could put into our budget. secondly it's absolutely true that a hundred thousand dollars is just a penny. that being said it was interesting enough for my constituents to engage as i think you heard. we had constituents that were dreaming big and a $20,000 goes a long way for the first step to a particular neighborhood or need. i would advocate for a bigger pot of money and to spend a 1

and $26,000. but to answer your question around staffing this year my staff amy she's spent nearly half are two-thirds of her time working on this. i want to thank the controllers office they have offered to devote at least a portion of a staffer and we want to see what the project will look like. i do think it's very important that as was recommended by participatey budget process maybe 10 percent of the funds be used with orchestras that are doing out reap and as to

supervisor wieners suggestion by make sure we have a keep and a meaningful grassroots community. so hopefully, this answers part of your questions. >> so colleagues if there are no other questions president chiu will table the item. we'll have this decision as we decide what to do. can we do this without objection >> without objection thank you. mr. young any other business before us? >> thank you meeting adjourned
