assistance for work force housing. anything that is affordable those making 25 to $60,000 a year and those in the yards are making 15 to 30 if they're lucking and we should look for opportunities of sites that sat dorm at and other areas and probably cost $50,000 to renovate the bunkers for affordable housing until you're finally ready to do development on that site so maybe there are opportunities to look at that but please don't cut the social services and immediately on a planning department side there is a budgetary item that is currently pushing off the community development fees. this plan was implemented during the lowest part in the economy and we have more construction than ever so the current policy that exempts our developers or those fees that policy should be reversed and we will have continued input into the funds to support these services.

thanks for your time. please support the arts whenever possible in your budgeting decisions today. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am gabriel and speaking on advocate for more work force development system with folks with barriers of employment and support the providers including jbs, self help for the elderly and many other groups. we appreciate your efforts of the mayor and rhonda simpsons and requesting these funds for development so folks can maintain employment in san francisco. it's critical to fund these programs to enhance the economic stability and prosperity of san franciscans so they can compete for the jobs and stay in san francisco. metaas you know is a community

based local economic development agency. it's located in the mission district of san francisco for nearly 40 years. we have been work to improve social conditions in the neighborhood and stimulating investment and enhancing the business environment and jobs for the residents. it's critical to fund the programs to maintain that. we had a huge displacement of our community in the mission district and all around an fran and it's all over and funding these programs will help keeping programs in san francisco. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> thank you for listening today supervisors. i debbie her man with the health and services network and i am here with the nonprofits and here to support the budget enhancement request.

this is i group of asks put together by nonprofits, by the people that work for us, by the people that are served for us. there are several different areas. first of all we have been cutting the budgets for years. the economy is coming back and it's time to restore services for the most vulnerable and secondly it's unnecessary to accept a unprecedented two year two cut to determine the services. third, it's a priority to back hill hiv/aids cuts in the budget and it's important to fund a cost of doing business nonprofits who have lost 12% de facto budget cut over the last five years. that money will provide social justice for the workers that need raidses, health increases and rent

increases and save programs that are threatened by years of flat funding. the money is there. we ask your support to redirect resources and i know there is a list with many ideas where you can find the funding including suspending the budget stabilization reserve and the budget analyst's recommendations. it's not about not having the resources but what we prioritize and we want the riez directed to where they can do the most good. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. any other members of the public that wish to comment at this time? okay. seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues we have a number of items in front of us and we're going to act on a bunch of them. let's take them one by one or in groupings here and go down in order. the first here is a hearing for dcyf where ms. sue

an amendment to accept the proposals of the budget analyst which he described on wednesday. it would provide that the library could accept gifts up to $100,000 without board approval but need approval for larger groups and eliminate the grant fund originally in the ordinance. >> actually i thought -- >> supervisor wiener. >> i thought that the recommendation was just to remove the provision that exempted the library from the normal acceptance expense but still create the funds. >> the ordinance addressed two different types of funds. one for gifts to the library which usually require board approval if they're over $10,000 so this amendment would provide that the library could say they can accept gifts up to $100,000 and

the second is for grants and the budget analyst didn't address grants in this ordinance. >> okay and subject to the normal rules. >> exactly. >> okay thank you. >> colleagues any further questions? could i have a motion? without opposition. all right. motion to move 14 forward to the full board for the july 16 meefing. >> so moved. >> do so without opposition. colleagues i'm going to propose taking 15 through 23 together and motion to move to the full board for the july 16 board meeting. >> so moved. >> do so without opposition. item 23 is the -- >> item 24. >> yeah item 24 is regarding the stabilization reserve. can i a motion to continue this item. >> so moved. >> okay. can we do so without

[gavel] >> why don't we call 18 and 19 related to advertising. >> items 18 is a resolution designating the examiner and the san francisco chronicle to be the official newspapers of the city and county of san francisco for aloe official advertising for fiscal year 2013 through '14. item 19 is a resolution designating the following newspapers to be the outreach newspapers for the following respective communities for san francisco, the small business exchange for the african-american chinese and hispanic communities, the bay area reporter for the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender

communities, central city extra for the central city neighborhood north side publications, marina times for the northern san francisco neighborhood and the west portal monthly for the west portal neighborhood to provide outreach advertising for fiscal year 13-14. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you, president chiu. colleagues, i wanted to single out item number 19. it seems like every year in budget committee we always have a little bit of a pile up about what we're going to do around outreach advertising in more of our neighborhood and ethnic media. i actually asked the clerk of the board to tell us what seems most efficient for them. i also wanted to hear from them how we've been able to measure the response to putting in outreach advertising in various papers. so, i want to give it to the clerk of the board to be able to tell us some of the bindings on that and the types of effective outreach we'll be able to do, if any, and like to

hear your response to my questions. >> madam clerk? >> thank you, supervisor avalos. thank you, mr. president. item 19, of course, designates the examiner and the chronicle as the official newspapers which would carry our official or legal advertising. item 19 is the item wherein which the city publishes its advertisements to advertise the city services that are occurring in all of our different departments. based upon the discussion at the budget and finance committee last week, i understand there may be a desire for supervisors to add additional newspapers to the already five neighborhood newspapers that are included in item 19. and there was a concern at the committee that the fund called the outreach advertising revenue fund may not be able to build the cost if we were to add those new newspapers. essentially, oca estimates that

about 220,000 is in or will be in the advertising revenue fund which would mean 10% of that or 22,000 would be what we would have to pay for that advertising. and just for a brief background, the administrative code states that 10% of all the revenue paid in each official newspaper shall be deposited into this fund which solely supports the costs associated with the outreach advertisement. it's a provision that was set in 1994. over the past two decades online media has expanded, ~ as ~ the general expenditures city-wide have decreased and specifically the board as the largest user of official noticing has decreased its own budget from 1 million to today's $40,000, which resulted in a significant reduction to the outreach advertising fund. we estimate that in 13-14 that 10% will not be able to fund the planned outreach. this constrained budget combined with the varied

publication cycles of the neighborhood newspapers, some are biweekly, some are monthly, some are even quarterly, has not even allowed for the required weekly publication. the average advertising is generally, if this fiscal public year monthly or every other month. clearly the administrative code should be revised as the reliance on the revenue deposited the 10% is now become insufficient. i suggest an interim solution which would allow for me to -- my office to work with the city purchaser to conduct research and present revisions to the outreach advertising program for the board's consideration. as part of the interim solution, i suggest enhancing the outreach fund by 40,000 and the next fiscal year with salary savings from the current fiscal year which have accumulated due to staff turn over. with the board's permission, i will submit an ordinance this afternoon which would allow for

the consideration of a $40,000 transfer to provide a budget of approximately 62,000, which is more than sufficient funding for the five community newspapers that are before you, but would be necessary if this board added additional newspapers, such as those referenced at the committee. if it is the intention of the board to add additional newspapers, then item 19 could be amended today to include the selected additional newspapers and include the resolution as amended. of course, later today i'll submit the ordinance which would then go to the budget and finance committee where we could discuss the $40,000 enhancement as directed by the board today. and finally, in six months i'm happy to report back to the budget committee where we can talk about the market research that we're willing to conduct over the next six months to determine the efficacy of the value that the public receives through these advertisements. >> supervisor avalos? >> thank you.

i think the million dollar question or perhaps the $22,000 question is what we learned about the effectiveness about this outreach that we're doing through our newspapers. and your office has done some work towards that end, looking at a survey to people who would look at these sections of the newspapers and what has the response been? >> approximately two years ago, supervisor avalos, when we were amending the official advertising for the city, we conducted market research in both the chronicle, the examiner and all of the outreach neighborhoods at that time. six months, we had sentences in these newspapers such as is this helpful to you? are you reading this? what would you like to see? what services are important to you for us to advertise? and we did not receive but one phone call from an individual asking if we could enlarge the font size in the chronicle. >> okay.

so, you know, i wanted to ask this question because i wanted to determine whether we wanted to actually include other newspapers, whether we need to actually increase our overall budget to do advertising. and i'm not convince that had it's the right thing to do. if people are not actually using these outlets to get information about the goings on at city hall, maybe it's not necessary to actually augment what we're doing and we can just go -- if we're by law required to do with outreach, we discontinue with the current format that we have. so, i was literally considering adding journals [speaker not understood], perhaps spanish language. given what we've seen so far, there hasn't been a response and there are lots of other ways that people can engage with what's happening at city hall, i don't think it's necessary to make that amendment now. now, if it's compelling to be able to have a more robust budget, i could consider that separately from any other

newspaper and just what your needs would be to do that outreach if [speaker not understood] to do that is necessary. >> currently, supervisor, for those responsive newspapers that are participating and are before you today, the budget to fund those five responsive newspapers would be approximately $21,000 if we were to publish once a month for 12 months. >> thank you. >> which the fund [speaker not understood]. >> okay, thank you. >> thank you. president chiu. >> thank you. and i want to echo supervisor avalos's comments. i think that the research that our clerk's office will be doing in short order should hopefully inform us as to whether this is advertising that needs to continue. i do, though, think that until that happens, i assume they'll continue to proceed as we have been. and if we do, i would like to

ensure that both [speaker not understood] are included. i understand that they did submit responsive bids and the only reason that those bids were deemed unresponsive was because those two publications are not published in san francisco. but given their significant readership within san francisco, the fact that they cover san francisco city hall regularly, and that a lot of folks read them, i want to make sure if we're going to do anything that we include them. but i'm wondering if there is a way to potentially amend this resolution to give us the flexibility later on down the line if it turns out that your information shows that we should go about things a different way. we can make that decision for all the newspapers as we move forward. >> certainly, mr. president. you've made a motion. it could be seconded and we could amend the newspapers that are before the board right now. >> so, is there a second for that motion? >> just -- clarify the motion? >> i think my motion would be two things. first of all, to add the two

chinese newspapers, world journal and [speaker not understood], but also to state that this is in place not necessarily for the entire fiscal year, but until -- sorry, i need to pull up the resolution language in froth of me -- to provide outreach advertising for fy-2013 to 2014 until the clerk of the board recommends another path that the board of supervisors adopts, perhaps some language to that effect. ~ >> so, that motion has been seconded by supervisor yee. i know it's not the most artful language, but that's the the intent of what i'm trying to achieve. >> supervisor farrell? >> thank you. on the motion if we are going to amend the two papers, i think there were a number of other papers before us that were not asian outreach, to include them all. there is hispanic outreach, african-american outreach that target different groups in san francisco. if we're going to do two, let's do those in front of committee. we had a nice debate about that in in committee the other day. i suggest if we do it to be inclusive at this point in time and based pop the evaluation going forward.

~ >> i am more than happy to do that. i apologize, i didn't watch the tape of the meeting but i certainly agree with that intent. >> it seems there is consensus on that, colleagues, i see no -- supervisor kim. >> since i wasn't able to watch the budget committee meeting either, what is the full list of the other newspapers? i definitely support world journal and [speaker not understood]. i know they have wide readership and it certainly has really high penetration rates among the chinese reading community. but i'm curious as to what the other newspapers were. >> i could answer that, supervisor mar, it is that happen okay. >> [speaker not understood]. >> [speaker not understood], san francisco bayview, the western addition, potrero view, and el repatero. >> thank you. any other comments, colleagues? supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. it's more of a question or point of clarification. we're going to be voting on a list of publications today. will there be another opportunity in
