i wanted to - >> supervisor avalos. sorry >> just a couple of questions. i was under the awe assumption >> in the first two years there's no attempt to bopped. number one we have considerable fund balances over at the redevelopment agency we need to spend down. many of that debt service once it is retired there will be lessen an impact on the general fund. additionally we are getting a lot of other sources and funds right now. i mentioned earlier in our development impact fees have

been low. my first year in 2345089 we had $220 million in refunds. we're anticipating those projects to come online giving us a source of inclusionary and linkage fees. additionally any funds from the tick legislation are another affordable pipeline. in year one and two it's not necessary to bond. but we're seeing is another type of issue not so much a funding issue. >> we were told that the upper generated that maybe in the first crush for the first year. >> i understand there are acquisition costs.

i i've only, you know, what's solid if the plan one year one. but opportunities change based on project deadlines and so as and said those projects that have been if the x are going in the next two years supervisor we're not to say we don't want to continue to work with our office to get that project going >> okay. thank you. >> i want to get clarity on something you said as getting available funds once the debt is paid downor the housing trust fund were envisioned. right now this is a general set aside but as debt fees get paid down they'll be a source of -

it's not additional funds flowing down - >> so we're not at risk of those dollars being taken by the state. >> we're fortunate because we're the biggest tax entities being that the state denies let's say the projects for the redevelopment agency or doesn't fund them at the level we require immediately those funds flowback to the general fund and can be a priority for this border, however. >> can we rely on the possibility of those funds? >> i think around the major approved projects especially the shipyard where we have final and

inclusive fined we will be able to fund our housing obligations. we have mission bay and the shipyard additionally we continue to ask for dofs approval. and that would be uses citywide for a lot of projects >> just judge want to be clear. we've been told different things. there was a statement by olsen year it wasn't going to be in year one and there was another gentleman who said there could be a freeze. i realize there's a lot of that need support >> i could be more clear.

i'm talking about terms of our pipeline next year we have inclusionary housing fees we're anticipating coming on line we can used for a variety of sites. we need to see what that funding level is. i think before we build a affirm commitment for next year >> okay. thank you. this is an overview the housing trust budget. as you can see the 20 million is here and there's 21 million that includes the first responders we're spending another 2 had the 6 million for loan repayments. so we're looking at about 4.6 or

$4.5 million program. housing stabilization this is an initially view it's in the mayors proposed budget. based on subsequent conditions you're seeing about 10 million in the housing trust fund we're proposing reallocating some of the housing line items. since the mayor did provided other housing resources. to really fully fund and jump start those that would be an additional 2.8 instead of 1.8. we have a design program for the

infrastructure. for the first year it's program outreach gairg up to a grant program with a million dollar - i'm sorry supervisor >> you'll probably appreciate that. we had discussions in my office was they're going to be enough money there. i guess my question is have we program designed where that million dollars is going to be used and if not, i want to work with you - >> that would be excellent we want to work with interested parties in really creating the types of programs that would be stable and keep tenant in their home. >> that's great because the housing fund i pushed for to be part of the prop c that increase

my district we have a lot of single-family homeowners that are facing did he fatality and eviction or foreclosure. i wanted to make sure we have is the resources that would help prevent that from happening. we have a part of san francisco mostly where single-family homes we wanted to make sure that the prop c would be a help >> we appreciate your leadership in that area. additionally i didn't call it out specifically but i'll get it that. is the small site acquisition and project program it appraise money to get the program going back those are smaller properties up to 25 units. i think it's really going to be

effective in countering higher rents and higher districts that have not seen housing pranl projects in the next year. looking forward to starting that program. and then he have 1.15 growing to about 1.2 million looked for project delivery. this is about 3 had the and 50 thousand to provide funding for exist staff. >> terms of fte we have 15 on and off positions. 7 of those are new requests. those positions are project management staff to implement.

those are housing trust programs and additional asset positions. we're asking that the interim expectations to the budget the mayor put that forward to the board so those positions can start july 1st. we can start on the remunerate and hiring and get those programs going. there are 3 positions transferring that were converted to city positions and those will be funded at the mayor's office of housing. just briefly as i spoke with you earlier this morning about our loss program it's growing by 3 million. those are funds provided by d h a and their net 1 hundred and 92 new units.

internal partnership what is your making sure we have multiple lingual organization. and so i can take other questions or turn it over to other staff >> supervisor mar. >> yeah. i quick one. i know we had talked earlier about the transition of housing use. you mentioned there are at least some programs that g s a will be covering for drinkingal youth. do you know how much that is going to be covering for programs in the community for that vulnerable population? >> i'm less family familiar with the at a time programs but,

>> on page 81 our recommended instructions is 63505 and 15 thousand ongoing and 401 are our one the time savings. it's still $24.4 million. it's still allows the return to the general fund. and those recommendations in fourteen and fourteen our general fund would total and still allow an increase of 3.1 million. we have a policy recommendation on page 83 of our report. and this pertains to the

affordable housing terrorist fund. i'll briefly read this for. we have a table that shows the daily of that $18.20 million. it's notes discretionary and there are for the first 5 years 15 million for the assistance loan programs down payment assistant programs up to 15 million for the housing

stabilization program and a maximum of a program infrastructure program. however, the specific allocation to individual programs is discretionary in 13, fourteen. so that they're considered by your office to be a policy decision by our office. and then in 15 and 15 totaling $.43 million they're part of mayor's office housing program. while the total housing program is not discretionary there are specific you housing levels the specific allocation of funding individual programs is

discretionary in 2014 such that they're a policy decision for the board of supervisors >> thank you, very much. colleagues any questions for mr. radios? so to confirm the mayor's office is in agreement >> yes, i will i want to thank deborah newman. >> colleagues any questions? >> motion to accept those amendments? >> okay. we, do so without opposition. all right. >> that excludes the recommendation? >> that's correct. >> next up we have

>> good afternoon, supervisors. >> so, over all of the ethics commission, implements provisions of the city charters and statutes and ordinance involving campaign interest. the proposed budget the mayor's budget represents an increase of $200,000. and 85 percent of all budget is driven by salary and benefits. and so that is the major driving force here. we are not looking at any new ftes, however, on paper, i have 18 ftes, but since the budget down turn i have not been able to fill all of those positions. initially we are down to 15 for about two years, we have been at 16. and with this proposed budget, i have planned to at least fill

one of those two remaining positions my out reach and education coordinator position has been vacant for months, if i meet my attrition savings and there is money left over, i will intend to fill that 18th position which is a third investigator, so i am optimistic that i can bring it up to 18 in this budget and those are not new ftes. >> and, out here based on these positions. we don't have any new departmental initiatives, currently we are working very hard to existing initiative to stream line the services by moving to all electronic filing which is taking up a great deal of our time. and in general as a rule we don't use over time, so, i have no anticipation of those. moving on to the additional

questions, our client base has narrowly defined and we provide services on behalf of the people involved in san francisco and involved campaigns and workers to the employers and the officials and the media and the public. for example, we don't have any demand for our services, and or other language services, although we are cap able of offering those in mandarin, spanish and italian and in a limited basis in tagali and hindi. and my staff points out that we are fluent in html. we do not (inaudible) in media basis but i would like to include that the budget analyst has not included us in his report and we fully agree with that. >> thank you for coming before us today and presenting this budget. and do you have any questions at this time? >> okay, thank you. >> thank you for being here.

budget, our budget when you compare it like election cycles is similar from year to year, which this chart shows, so 2012, 13 we have one election fiscal year and so the base budget is very similar, but the majority of the cost increase for 14, 15, is wage increases and also increases in cost. and we do have changes in revenue and they increase or decrease with the elections that we have. because of the school board elections and the community college elections and the election and we get reimbursed for those contests and so when we have two election and we have elections, and we get more revenue in the odd number of years. and the changes in fte positions, we are requesting fte additions to our budget,

and positions are currently under exempt requisitions. and the cost will be offset by the attrition savings or the reductions. it is not new positions and it is really the core staff and the department and now we are requesting that we can make these positions rather than permanent than to carry them as temporary personnel as we have in the past. >> major drivers in our budget, and the number of elections in the fiscal year. and the number of pages in the voter information pamphlet. for the mail and language assistance and we need to implement new technologies or to expand our services. and the biggest one for us, and the location of the warehouse and the lease on pier 48 will end at the end of 2015, and

that is in our budget for the project and for the 14, 15 fiscal year and we have been working with the department of real estate to find a new location. >> over time costs, before the reelection we look at the processes and plans to meet the work load without over time and we meet after the election to see how successful our planning was. and we plan to minimize the over time hours as much as possible and the over time requests must be authorized by myself or the deputy director. >> as far as language access is concerned, every election, we have bi lingual poll workers and the bigger elections we have up to 1,000 people at the polling place and all of them are election materials and are translated into english, chinese and spanish. and we worked closely with the media since the well represented in the bay area and

we will partner with them and do radio call-in shows and television call-in shows and we have lines that are dedicated to the languages year long which we increase the staffing during the election periods and the folks have been certified through the dhr process for the bi lingual capabilities and we also provide purposefully the services for folks with disabilities. and again, we have large format, that we post on-line which we can also provide if requested. and the audio formats of the books. and the polling places we put a lot of time into making the polling places as accessible as possible. we also have, technology, which will assist people in assessing our information. and then, also, we also are seeking to increase our accessibility of our service and we are looking more at creating videos for different aspects of our operations and we are also, rethinking our out

reach to folks who were incarcerated or previously on parole due to the realignment in california last year. and then, also, we are, we have at least quarterly meetings with the non-profit organizations that we have worked with. and east of the elections and the materials that are things like that can get to the con stit you entcy. and i want to thank deborah for working with us, and working with us, through the office. >> and all of the recommendations. >> and colleagues, from time. >> thank you very much. >> and we have to come after they recover. >> and the report of the department of elections? >> yes, mr. chairman and members of the committee. our
