5:34 am
you pointed out this out. you're not siege the 40 million here >> but it says our gas tax for the next fiscal year will be 4 want. >> one gas tax we use for trees and street cleaning. that used to be the old sales tax but you're seeing the gas tax for the roads and what you're seeing on that slide with the gas tax for the operations. >> that's why i wanted to ask this in the first place. what would the separate gas tax
5:35 am
be? >> in fiscal fourteen we're expecting about $19 million in gas tax. >> in fiscal year i'm sorry. >> fourteen and 15. >> okay. that's - >> supervisor bred. >> thank you for your presentation. i wanted to ask a question about the apprentices e apprenticeship program. many of our young folks are working because of this amazing program but we talked about this the transition from being a part of the apprenticeship program and the actual job opportunities. and is there any plans within the next two fiscal years to try
5:36 am
and support more long-term permanent opportunities for the apprenticeship program in general >> thanks to the mayor's office for their leadership. they're able to give us some seed money. the apprentice programs were returning run in the past where we - the funding we're going to get we're going to explore some other types of apprenticeship. we're about to start our mason apprenticeship program and other apprenticeship programs in trees.
5:37 am
it's important we invest in those programs. in terms of when you finish the apprentices your moving into the journey man program. many of the apprentices are we getting other jobs in the mta. and some have gone to the airport and the contracting world. so we have a pipeline where we need to spend a lot of energy getting people out of the apprentices into other trades. we have a really good labor of apprentice program and gardening program. we have asphalt to help with the paving. anywhere we find opportunities we will, you know, we'll explore
5:38 am
and make sure we help people get jobs >> it would be helpful to get a clear understanding. i know you probably tracked this information but on an annual base how many people do have you in the apprenticeship program for people who have moved into a full-time job. i want to bring up the repaving of the sidewalks. i know that a number of the folks are painting out especially with the fact there are a significant number of trees and we pay attention when
5:39 am

5:40 am
accessibility. >> the first answer is yes, we have quite a bit of staff that works with contractors. we are receiving quite a few complaints. we're training our staff around house cleansing. we call it house cleaning. we inform them to be responsive
5:41 am
to the concerns of the community and keeping construction sites very clean traditionally the contractor comes in and they get two or three blocks we're asking them to have a less impact and work with the neighborhoods. we have been filtering quite a bit of complaints. we're stechd a little bit but at this time i know we're kind of mitigating those concerns as they come. colleagues any other questions at this time >> we agreed with the budget analyst recommendation where we
5:42 am
discharged is on the housing authority. the department of public works is supporting the housing authority on the clean up on weekends. there are 6 apprentices who are trained who work at the housing authority and a couple of employees that do regular clean up on the weekends. we strongly believe that will continue and we also believe that work is best done at dp w because they work like that all around the city. that's the policy type of discussion i think that we strongly believe it should stay at the dp w >> so why don't we go to mr. roses report. >> mr. chairman on page 66 on
5:43 am
our report is the recommended rescues is 41179 and out of that there are ongoing condiment savings. they still allow 7.7 percent and in the departments 13 and fourteen budget and fourteen, 15 the reductions are nine hundred and 29 thousand it would still allow an increase in the departments budget. the item in the department was just referring to say a policy recommendation again, it's not been concluded in the department recommendation. that's on page page 69. i'll briefly read it.
5:44 am
the san francisco housing authority recommended termination of a memorandum of understanding of h a for the labors apprentices program. the mayors proposed 2014 and 13 budget as a city cost our recommendation or suggestion to you is that the board of supervisors as a policy option could approve the city's funds in 13 and fourteen and transfer the program. the reason we made that remedies there would be a saving. and the same manner we made a recommendation 0 on the police department they were providing
5:45 am
some overtime work which we don't think is necessary. okay. thank you mr. rose. colleagues any questions i think there are a few ways we can either separate out or do the recommendations and save the policy recommendations for a later or we can act on both today. supervisor bred >> yes don't think we should act today. i do think that the city is going to need to take some level of responsibility to try to come up with the support necessary to maintain this program at the housing sites. and if there is a recommendation to reduce dw p budget we may
5:46 am
want to take into account the housing authority. there might be some more discussion. and okay unless there are any objections maybe we can obamacare act on mr. roses recommendationss. >> for clarity his other recommendations provided for a budget instruction in dp ws budget. >> and those are estimates. >> yes those are agreed to. i want to clarify to supervisor bred those are rementsdz bans straight budgetary agreements in contrast. we've done in every other
5:47 am
department this way >> i just wanted a little bit more clarity on the part for public housing since clearly there will be a loss for the program for the next year
5:48 am
. >> this is the only program in the city moving it over to the city doesn't have the structure to run the apprenticeship programs. they've got a lot of curriculum and there's certainty types of evaluations that are being documented, you know, so i would caution you moving it back over there to accomplishing all the credits and coccyx >> why don't we act on others issues then. that's correct it is a fiscal year >> so supervisor bred any other discussion can i have a motion?
