2:00 am
community workforce commission that is focus on really addressing the profound employment barriers that many people in the neighborhood have. for example, what sort of san franciscans have barely a high school diplomacy. i wonder if you could talk about the community pathway that i'm and how it, it's into the boarder citywide enforcement >> we're excuse me. many of the individuals or the community based orchestras that are part of that coalition are part of the protocol we fund. and so i think their efforts do
2:01 am
kind of already coincide with our portfolio. i think while our economy is increasing and we love that. we have very low unemployment rate. i think everyone involved in the workforce are those who have e lowest skills are trooil to beef them up. so that degree we've been doing a lot of pirndz trying to figure out how to leverage individuals with lower skilled and a education opportunity that move that skill set as quickly as you can given that the market moves very rapidly.
2:02 am
whether it is ged support programs particle individuals that don't have that high school diploma and move them into one year certificate program and on to 2 and 4 year later. i wanted to reiterate that i think the community based groups are critical as partners
2:03 am
>> we had the america's cup for the first 3 days of september and the america's kidnap final events. in the time since early april i think the two the broadly our plans remain the same the two
2:04 am
events we're working closely with is reacting to the boston marathon how we're going to manage this huge font based on the events there. there are subsequent announcement theirs not going to be starting the events on july 4th. so we're going adding those operational responsibilities. we've wshgd the contractors and they've been taken advantage of the larceny timeline. we've had contract meetings
2:05 am
ahead of the cup. and we've participated and their massive live nation for the concert fairs and the opportunities as referenced earlier. so we're hopefully to have a better performances in hiring this year. in addition we're releasing how to get folks to the events. we're learning the lessons from the live nation stage to really hopefully to have a positive experience for those investors as well as those city residents who are using the public transportation and using the sidewalks and bicycles. so broadly that's our situation
2:06 am
operationally. in terms of financial perform. as you know the america's cup is continuing its program to expanding the cup fundraising program. we recently received significant hundreds of thousands of dollars. we're expecting reimbursement before the end of the fiscal year and at that point we'll wrap the expenditures for the remaining amount. so get it payment in hand and wrap up the books and next year we're hoping to have the projections we've described. that's broadly the summary
2:07 am
>> yes, a couple of questions regarding america's cup. we're having more likely to expected to see any cost saving in terms of what we're going to be providing for the support for america's cup. >> we won't have a long operational period but potentia
2:08 am
spent. >> so then do we have different source of funding - we're going to have additional money on top of that? >> that was included in next week and i know there were $10 million adjustments but from my prospective that's an amount
2:09 am
we could i guess spectator projections if there are are more weigh station. >> and then our source of funding at least $10 million is that what we're expecting for the organizing activities is that coming in our general fund? i know there was destruction and i know that we were looking at - what are relooking like >> we're not proposing any changes to the america's cup activities. i think the prior statement says the tax revenues were to draw a picture if the debt was negative if the expenditures continued.
2:10 am
but we continue to have the fundraising efforts >> and then in terms of our budget we had to allocate a source of fund for the $10 million. what's the exact source of funding? >> fund-raising? >> fund-raising. >> okay. thank you. and a colleagues any other questions at this point? >> supervisor. >> yes, thank you. i just. are they done with the overall presentation? >> one final comment. we're not yet in full agreement with the budget analyst but we're going to try over the next week to make that happen
2:11 am
>> i just wanted to bring ms. simmons back up. i am concerned with the one stop that others are having difficulties. it makes a clear there's a need for additional support for those one stops that are not up to par. i want ms. simmons to speak to that with contracts that are under your department >> sure. so historically we've had 5 one stops from 2009 and 2010. we grew the one stops. when i first arrived there were 2 we now have 5. and over the last few years the
2:12 am
challenges have remained in the couple of the communities one in western addition and one being nights valley. the one stop so folks understand how their ran and staffed. your department is one that community based organizations to provide the services. we have not be able to provide those sources. but over the years we've been able to provide the services but as a rule we don't provided direct services. there's a lot of needs inform both community. we've struggled to find the based organizations to provide
2:13 am
the competent services. and the same would be true for the d-10 for visitation valley. we have at least one fte out of my office to increase capacity. so we can insure that a level of captive problematicly happens in a more efficient manner. the cost to operate those one stops covers around half a million to 150 roughly. and that includes, you know, everything from the operational costs to the program costs. while everybody may not be equal it w it was primarily with the one
2:14 am
general fund to support those efforts. so the challenge to see that the staffing is adequate. we've tried a number of different approaches with a number of nonprofit. so i'm hoping to move forward this new model to have one fte out of your office as well as a cd are will help. the two communities probably if i looked demographics a population of individuals utilizeing the things. >> so clearly some of the other successful one stop job centers
2:15 am
are able to leverage other fund to make sure they have the capacity to be successful in delivering on job opportunity for their constituents. and what that means clearly from my prospective the ones most challenged need a lot more sports from our office in terms of oversight as well as appropriate capacity to deal with the levels of needs in terms of helping with the job opportunities >> yeah. and as i said we're trying something new to provide the fte to provide an enhanced level of support services >> thank you. >> colleagues any other questions at this time?
2:16 am
>> mr. rose we're going to go to our budget analyst and a members i would note on page 15 of our report the report that america's cup organizes committee there's expenditures for the america's cup but the detailed expenditure budget provided to the budget and legislative analyst office is 70 million 56009. there will be an appropriate reduction but there's a discrepancy in the budget right now >> could you highlight that it's on the page. the proposed budget includes $10 million from the america's
2:17 am
cup organizing committee but i'm referred e refer to expenditures of 9 million plus. the detailed expenditure budget put to the budget office is not that 9 million 175 but rather 7 million plus. to support that 9 million is not there are. our understanding is the mayor's office will be reducing the budget for the discrepancy that's included in the budget and the details of 7 million plus. again we've report to you back next week. with respect to our recommended reductions on page 17 of our report. our recommended reductions total
2:18 am
4 hundred and plus. including 34 thousand 130 are ongoing 336. in addition we recommended closings out the funds and it would have a return to the general fund. so for 13 and fourteen there is a series of numbers. and have that amount 41 thousand ongoing a one-time we're still working with the department and we'll report balk back to you next week on our reductions >> colleagues any questions. >> maybe if you could come
2:19 am
back. i understand from your prospective with mr. rose and where the principle objections lie right now >> as we mentioned we're going to continue to work with the analyst budgets office. very closely and it's been good conversations >> so we'll be seeing you back next week. >> colleagues before we move on any questions from mr. rose? >> okay. why don't we move on. we're going to call one item out of order. so mr. ram in your group if you want to come up and present
2:20 am
>> while we get this set up. i'm happy to report from the past accomplishments. on socioeconomic issues. just quickly the department went through an experience of changing our admission statement. this better reflects the work who we do it for. it's a mission statement that's kind of captures the work of the planning department in san francisco. quickly the past year there's
2:21 am
been a number of substantially accomplishments. we had an item that was adopted unanimously. and the planning eir was adopted. we started the work on the central corridor and separately it includes the moscone center. the public scoping meeting actually has been held. we're very heavily involved in the development neighborhood program. and we're doing the case studies and the democratic graphic studies for the conditions. we have essentially completed the jefferson street for broadway and castro street and
2:22 am
we're working on hate street working with the neighborhood open hate street and we'll soon be working on the outer mission. we have an internal process that will help our review time to actually sign a staff person in the process of a prim point of contact. i'm proud to say with d b i we're on schedule and on budget and we're about 80 percent complete and we're scheduled to go live this fall. for next year we're working on a number of initiative. we would like to have a general update of the plan that have not been updated for a number of times.
2:23 am
and we're required to produce a new housing project this next year. we are starting and one of our budget requests for a new outreach program. this is something i want to be more pro-active to get out in the neighborhoods why we do things not a plan but l about the larger issues in the city and how the neighborhoods can get involved. we have a number of monitoring and reporting projects that was staffed by the mayor this year. we need to create a new monitoring reports. there are a number of large sites on pier 70 and 32 and on admission rock and on bcs f
2:24 am
properties. we want to get ahead of those projects. we're getting involved before the operations are submitted to so we can get involved in those projects before. as i said we the the permit tracking system is expected to go live this fall. in terms of the sober economic initiatives there's a number of things we'll continue to work on. we're working on a 3 part program. and one is to have staff attended community events. and second our series of webinars that are task basis from how housing plans in the
2:25 am
community and we're organizing those now. i'll be hosting varies topics probably about three-quarters of topics that are interesting to the neighborhoods. we've had staff attend community outreach programs. this was a furious from the grants. it's a week-long training that broadens our approach to reaching the non usually suspended, if you will, to get involved in the community. again, the investment neighborhoods community is par of a key effort. we have a public outreach and
2:26 am
community policy and procedures. we've also conducted staff meetings on the ordinance and are making changes to our website and commission out wastepaper to hospital those are published. we have multiple language pamphlets. we have brool of our staffing and we're routinely sending out group information to latin folks. and recent staff we have a diversity. so more specifically to our case and permit trend. since the downturn and deficit
2:27 am
the department reduced the staff and beginning in 2010 we began to experience some growth and value in both cases and permits and, of course, with fee revenues. and the vice president has run can i feel service clarification and has been filling positions for the last 3 years. in terms of numbers of the projects the volume is to increase by 4 percent in 2013 which is one percent higher than overwhelming budgeted. in terms of sheer numbers in cases in environmental reviews increased. so we're reviewing the number of projects every year is going up.
2:28 am
interesting enough the permits is about the same but the size of the projects that we're seeing is growing substantially as the committee improves. we promgd a revenue increase which is from the review fees from large projects. we're proej 4.3 million of revenues and thank to you have pled a budget implement so we're in the process to hiring 8 new staff. for the fee revenue it the anticipated to increase by 19 percent in the fiscal year 2013 and 2014 from the budget.
2:29 am
and this includes 2.5 percent increase. that's automatic by code for next year. so it's flat from this year but subsequently higher. and in fiscal year 2014 the second part of the year we're currently anticipated they're going to increase by the c pi at 2.6 percent. that grant revenue is about flat from 2013 to 2014 and we'll see some decline from expenditures in other departments. on the expenditure side, of course, for us salary friendly represents the vast majority of our budget and the proposed
2:30 am
budget is over 8 new ftes to allow the planning staff to continue to address the load increases which are increasing subsequently for us. so just quickly the new positions we're talking about we are proposing the equivalent of one fte to allow some of the planning staff to help with the orchestra load. we have the urban planning design program where we're trying to get ahead of those projects. we've spent a lot of time working with the folks to get ahead of those projects. we are proposing a historic prt
