throughout our respective districts but i think this decide about be run well, because we funded those basic nuts and bolts services but at the same time we were able to do that and at the same time protect the needs of certain community and i want to know as an openly gay man, i want to thank the entire board of supervisors because when the question came to the time to to make sure we're restoring the funding for hiv i think that's a testament of the principles and values each one of you have and i'm proud to see that. i especially want to note that beyond the heavy funding there's the funding for the community that historically has been i

think forgotten and not taken care of and that's the trarndz community. this addresses those concerns but there's basic health needs that this community is being addressed through the funding to hire a surgeon to do top surgery this city should about done this but we can say we did this. as a member of this lvnlt community i'm happy to be a part of >> likewise i want to thank the budget committee for putting this budget through and particularly the leadership that

chair farrell and supervisor avalos showed during this process. i'm really proud to be part of this work. the agreement was made before midnight on thursday a couple of hours before chair farrell predicted. this is my first budget process and it's been fully exciting to be part of a group it shares last year values in regards to president our city to be a great city and wanting our families to stay in san francisco and caring about those who are vulnerable. it was a great way to have a discussion to flush out what we believe and so forth and for me to see everybody else on the

board. their priorities whether citywide or in their district it was nice to be able to express it articulate it and bring some resources back to your own district. to nor me citywide issues it was great to have a forum to discuss some things i care about pedestrian safety and wanting to make sure our parks have the best shape and for those children and the very young children with regards to education get addressed in this city so thank you very much to the budget committee >> supervisor kim. >> i just also want to commend the budget committee particularly chair farrell and

supervisor avalos leading the group through the budget process. having participated in years past this one went smoothly but it helped we had additional revenues but it's really great to see our board was able to work together to put together this comprehensive budget. i want to thank the board for protecting our districts. we really advocated for our senior services and it was really great to have the support of the budget committee of supervisor farrell and avalos. i'm really happy to see a number of our citywide priorities whether it's cutting the services to hiv aids and programs for job training another important need in our

city. as our city is becoming for economically progressive it's important for accident job community. i'm happy to see we're spovt the housing needs for families who are on the edge of becoming homeless. and increased resources for our shelters as we see our homeless count slightly increase so again want to recognize the budget committee you did a wonderful job with the mayor's office. i'm happy with the budget. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you. i just wanted to say really quickly i'm really proud of this budget especially my first year on the board
