today, this committee was interested in hearing about lingual and other tops. culture linguistic is part of the mission of our department. we're not able to sponsor board participation and in terms of the uptake of our programs and services unless we can communicate effectively with the folks of san francisco. our department has staff whose primary responsibility is to the cantonese spanish and other folks. our team spends over 5 house you

hours to help with the highest need. a large part of our environment is to attend community events to highlight the policies and every year we attend 16 events. 20 percent of those are by our participants. their strategyly staffed in various languages and approximately 10 thousand members are reached every year. and in regards to outreach and education material on this slide you'll see some frshgsz from the check out material. we provided for the residential and commercial programs have

other outreach programs that are not in english. we will, of course, continue to look for how to reach harder to reach communities. we're priorityizing and providing grants to communities based organized to help reach those populations. we are interested in broadcasting through sftv to reach a boarder population. so this slide here outlines our four primary source of funding. the impounded account is the

largest source of funding. we have two plans for the corridor programs that accounts for our cigarette funding. and this slide illustrates our expenses which i will not go over in detail you have in our packet. this slide documents the departments approved budget it's 18.3 million. it's $16.6 million for fiscal year for fiscal 2014. i did want to mention there were two errors made in the budget before you it's an attrition of $24 million which was counted

twice. those errors which total just over $749,000 will be changed. the prim budget is smaller for the next two years because of one of the latter grant. the board of supervisors has already improved $7.5 million for the discretionary from the budget to the following year. also the department is not proposing any new positions and doesn't spend any funds on overtime that were in conclusion the budget analyst has recommended $1,604,000 in cuts. i'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

thank you very much >> thank you. claegdz do we have any questions at this time? we'll be back with you in one second. mr. rose >> mr. chairman on payment 11 of our report we report that our recommend deductions for 2013 and 2014 a $36,000 each. they're in an ongoing rescues as i understand the department does occur with our recommended deductions >> could you talk about the technical adjustments. >> mr. chairman and our office hat not yet received the technical adjustments from the mayor's office. that's the reason why you might

note on page 7 of our report we show the departments recommended budget of 17 million 4 hundred and 2 thousand 898. all of our numbers with the official numbers. those will be adjusted downward but we have not seen them yet >> so the first technical adjustment is attrition of $494,000 that was counted twice. and there's also 3 hundred and - >> sorry. attrition was counted twice so you're going to have an increase in our budget of 4 hundred and - >> yes. i think from the slide.

on the slide you'll see that - it's a little bit difficult to see but on this slide on 2014 there's $16.6 million and an additional of $794,000 and 9 hundred and a 74 it's added into there are. so the fy will be changed once the adjustments are made >> okay. and the second technical adjustment. >> $300,000 in work order fund which were allocate to the reserve funds. >> okay. we're going to hear about that more.

>> colleagues any questions for the budget analyst at this time? >> okay. thanks for coming. >> thank you. >> colleagues we have some - mr. rose do you want to commit on those adjustments at this point or are you going to reserve. >> we'll look at those when we get back. normally we don't disagree with the technical adjustments >> okay. so colleagues i think we should do this when we have agreement with our budget nasty would propose they don't have to come back next week unless there's conflict. audits can we have a motion to

accept the budget analysts recommendation. okay. so consider your scooted but if there's conflict we'll be in contact with our office >> okay. thank you very much. up next, we have our o e w d with todd

>> i'm with the office of economic development. i'm talk about some fiscal out comes. i'm going to hand it over to the director of the workforce. and then the america's cup. for the overview we had in fiscal year we're down $3.9 million and the fiscal year

down another million dollars dollars. it's mainly due to the $1.4 million crews ship removal. in fiscal 15 those are due to the america kidnap and due to the loan fund program and the removal of the work order for a project i'll explain shortly to go through some of the activities in fiscal 2014. the city had an employment rate of 9.4 percent which is the lowest in 5 years. we have a job rate growth and

this is like 2.8 percent over the natural average. we see that that national growth is from business services to tourism and trade and transportation as well as manufacturing. we have a dedicated report on the merchandising like manufacturing. it strengthens our manufacturing. it has a protocol in licenses that allowed business to assess on line permits. this was launched in event and we've had almost a thousand

users use this tool. this is in addition to the office that we do. this year we did direct services in san francisco over 1 thousand. we're seeing a marked increase in the film production for the film program. o e w d manages public and private projects this includes the warriors project. the large implementation includes a number of program. first, we is had two staff members that get out of city hall and go to assistant the folks in the neighborhoods.

we continue to have that outreach next week. many of you know that small businesses are subject to lawsuits that relate to 88 cinnamons. this is to insure that their aware of any plant issues they have. we had 39 assessments and this is the program in fiscal fourteen where we're going to expand. this that mini program provides 12 neighborhoods with the prajz of the community market and street communication and we launched a vacancy program.

the sf provides a tool online that allows us to track and the

and my neighbors in action and the inner city youth. we'd like to have a astrologer partnership and i think if we're going to have a one-size-fits-all that we expect to work for board and randolph we have to have a little bit of a different tweak to this. >> we absolutely agree we think they need to be tailored to the neighborhood. for the past year we've been

working for custom missed program. we have in coordination with the city's communities. we want to make sure that the positions we have are in line with your ideas. we know that the board street would be a candidate for that >> let me say that the minnie program would be great on that site. this would be serious relationship building. i think that we can coordinate how we can work on the ground there would be fanatic. there are other parts of san francisco that are struggling economically and i want to be

sure that we know where to reach out for at service >> i want to thank the staff for not only balancing the big economic issues but supporting the distressed neighborhoods. it's been a real help to the richmond district but the sf vacancy program is going to be helped hopefully, there will be better outreach so we know what corridors have vacancies. i wanted to say on the ida the lawsuits that your staff and the office of small business and the

office of disabilities have been promoting the new accessibility of the inspections and it's been great for small businesses in my neighborhood. i wanted to say your balance of the supporting the small guy and the work ethics are important >> as you know working with the offices and the business owners we hear from you the opportunity that we should be focused on. in 2014 you'll see we're making sure that we're meeting the needs on the ground >> i know that one area of

fiscal was around the loan programs. in 2013 we did a total of $9.4 million of loans for san franciscans.

you talk about that. about not putting nothing into the budget >> meaning why - did you want to speak to that or - >> susan robison's. >> i'm sorry, i didn't hear the question and the funding for the program we're spoken at length about for this coming year, however, for the next year there's a decrease in funding.

>> about expending it for the next year. >> no, it's extended for the next year but in 2014 and 2015 there's a decrease. you and i have not had conversations around the rebate program >> ms. howard from the mayor's office. >> mayor's office budget director. as you'll recall the rebate program was extended for two additional years. with legislation your office worked on. in order to continue the budget it has to be authority. and pending additional information and final expenditure over the current year i think the thinking in the mayors budget was really to

spend the next year working to determine the efficientness of the program. determine in the allocation was the right number and then to work with the board and the development to move it forward in t in the subsequent year >> thank you. >> so i wanted to go on to key programs and initiatives for the next fiscal year. one of the areas we're very focused on it working closely with our take clerk's office. the deployment in 2014 will be a complex change that will kite

all businesses in san francisco. we want to focus on small to midsize businesses particle those who don't have english as their primary language. we want to focus on central america and bringing those geographics into san francisco. we want to support manufactures who want to executor - export into our area. this would allow the development of on online wizard we i couldn't where they want to locate and i'll provided a list of permits that they need to

operate in san francisco. it's our goal s to have as many applications online to be submitted and filled out on line. it is across 16 departments. we think this is well worth it and an important initiative. weigh to continue our initiative of key activities we're going to you implement the custom missed spellings program that targets a bunch of key businesses in the neighborhood and provided support to keep them in their locations. we understand those are anchors in our neighborhoods.

we're going to be watching a new micro loan program. it's between 5 and $10 million. that the paperwork and process as well as the review of loans for some of our small businesses is a little bit intimidating. we want to be responsive to those needs and tints. and we'll continue to respond to the program and we'll expand them to union street and expand the u da assess program >> supervisor wiener. sorry >> i have a question about the loan programs and i'm a glad to hear about the micro loan program.

i'm a big fan of this program even when it was a little bit controversial. it's been helpful to a number of businesses. i guess one question i have is once the city makes the loan and helps invest in those businesses what kind of support does the city provided to the businesses in terms of regulatory challenges etc. i know your office is involved. one of the frshgsz if it wasn't the first time it was one of the first reciprocates of the fund was a lady on myths street. i was out there with the mayor and we celebrate the loan at the
