items 2 through 12 minus number 8, to move those forward as amended and as committee reports with positive recommendation. am i correct it's 2 through 12? >> yes, it will be 2 through 7 and 9 through 12. >> okay, that's the motion. >> can we take that without opposition? so moved. [gavel] >> mr. chairman, these items will be recommended as amended as committee reports to the board of supervisors meeting for tomorrow, december 17th. >> perfect. thank you, sir. >> i would like to request the department submit the revise or amended resolutions to me by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. >> okay, mr. clerk, can you please call item number 13? >> item number 13, hearing to consider the annual review and approval of the board of supervisors annual budget guidelines for the department's budget for fiscal years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016.

>> thank you very much. we have the clerk of our board, ms. angela covy here to report on the item. >> thank you [speaker not understood]. allowing our item to be placed on this agenda today for review. i am before you today to receive the committee's budget guidelines for the board of supervisors budget. the department will provide the draft budget to the committee in january. ~ where we will propose recommendations that you'll hear today as well as any others that i may hear from the committee. i'll take a moment. i have six quick slides that we can review. the first slide is the expenditures by category for the current year 13-14. as you can see, the largest expenditure area is staff, making up 75% of this year's budget at 9.7 million.

the breakdown by nonpersonnel serve as at 21% of the budget which is allocated primarily to the budget and legislative analyst services in addition to the city's c-a-f-r. the next slide is the expenditures by division. it's a relatively small department, so, it's based on the committee's direction over the years we've sought to mostly efficiently deliver the chartered duties and functions, maintaining the board's legislative record, providing public access and compliance with the open meeting laws, providing resources to the 11 members of the board, and the administrative and operations necessary to support the board in its official duty in addition to the sunshine ordinance task force, the aab, the youth commission, the local agency formation commission. this slide shows the budget by division within the department. the supervisor's office account for 52% or 6.6 million of funding. the office of the clerk of the board is 24% or 3.1 million.

the budget and legislative analyst 16% at 2 348. ~ 2 million. [speaker not understood]. youth commission is at 2% for 300,000 and the sunshine ordinance task force at 1% at 100,000. expenditures by category a the committee knows, the city has moved to a rolling two-year budget. this slide shows the 13.2 million budget approved last year for fiscal year 14-15 allocated by expense type. as you see, expenses are allocated primarily to staffing followed by contract expenditures. the divisional indication from the current year is holding relatively constant. a special note is the assessment appeals board. they experience work load changes based on the economy. as you know, a recent

recessionary period, the appeals have gone up. and during that period a backlog what created. to address the backlog, as you know during last year's budget, a clerk position for evening hearings was funded as project funding for fiscal year 2013-14 and 14-15. this position was filled in november of this year and we expect to have it continue through fiscal year 15-16 when the backlog is anticipated to resolve. the 27aiing for the evening clerk position will be removed. that will be a reduction of 109,000. aab expects the number of appeals will continue to decline and it projects a $50,000 decrease in revenue to our department's budget in 14-15 ~. this slide shows budgeted and actual revenue from the appeals to illustrate the peak year and [inaudible] and the reduction since in revenues from appeal filings. and now for my final two slides. it is a list of items that need

to be addressed in the new budget. first, to reiterate, there will be a decrease in revenue. so, the general fund will be requested to offset that decrease. second, the department has selected harvey and rose associates through a competitive process and we are nearing finalizing the contract negotiations. mr. rose's group has proposed a contract hourly rate increase as the contract rates did not increase from 2010 to 2013. at the committee's direction in january, i will make a recommendation for a cola increase in the draft budget and will work with chair farrell on that proposal. third, i propose increase funding for bilingual premium pay and legislative assistant premium pay as required through ifpte local 21's m-o-u. some of the legislative aide's

regularly provide stern says of english use [speaker not understood]. they are entitled to bilingual premium pay in addition. the department expects that more legislative aides will become eligible for the legislative assistant premium in fiscal year 14-15 and 15-16. this will add approximately 25,000 to the department's budget. the job class changes in the clerk's office. as the committee may recall, i have made several changes throughout the years. some positions we've downgraded as we've seen high profile retirements and as we've hired new staff, we've hired them at a lower classification and now that they've had that experience we are moving them through the process. and to create a ladder in the department, we are now moving those positions up to their original classes. i will be requesting upward changes in two positions in my office, our accountant position

from a 16 52 to a 15 64, and our 81 16 legislative calendar clerk to an 81 18. this request is based on a review of job duties and selection of the appropriate class with dhr. these changes will increase the department's budget by approximately 44,000 in salaries and benefits. and fifth, the board of supervisors's budget includes membership in the following three associations. the national association of counties, the national league of cities, and the california state association of counties. currently we are sharing those expenditures with the enterprise departments. we understand that the california state association of counties has raised their fee by an additional $40,000. i will work with the committee in january to discern whether or not the committee is interested in funding that increase in the department's budget.

second to last, information technology. the department needs a new file server at a cost of 14,000 and maintenance for our aab, online system, which phase 1 is completed and we are now moving into phase 2 and we're on target for that project. we will need an additional 24,000 for that project. and finally, other recommendations by the committee, i'm happy to work with the committee as well as members of the board over the next several weeks to ensure that further guidelines that the department is interested in seeing be placed in the budget is, in fact, prepared so that when they bring it back to you in january, it will be close to being complete. that concludes my presentation. i'm available for questions. >> thank you, ms. covy. supervisors, any questions? >> yes, please. thank you for the presentation and your work on the guidelines for the clerk's budget.

a question about premium pay. could you go into a little deeper describing what that is? what are the changes that you're proposing, what is currently the status of premium pay for -- >> yes, specifically, if we're talking about the legislative premium pay for longevity, the legislative aide is working for the same supervisor for a period of four years and the fifth year they are working at the top step and they are entitled to an additional percentage based upon the m-o-u for retention and any special skill the supervisor may feel that they have. the bilingual premium pay, i understand that it is the supervisor who is working with the legislative staff. if the supervisor feels that the number of hours per day the legislative aide is utilizing of the extra language or languages, in some cases, then the supervisor will let me know

that the aide is in fact utilizing premium pay and meets the standard of the premium pay requirements. >> so, we currently have the ability to do that, but just haven't enacted premium pay? >> supervisor avalos, we don't have the funding in our budget, but this is the first year since i've been the clerk of the board that it has been requested of the department's budget. so, we'd like to provide that service if supervisors would like us to. >> and i think it's worthy of supporting. >> chair farrell, if i could just thank joe [speaker not understood] for all of her work on the department's budget. i wouldn't be able to stand before you without her good work and that of deborah landis. >> thank you very much. if with there are no other questions, we'll open this item up to public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. before we adjourn, i was just

informed this is mr. victor young's last meeting as our clerk of our committee after now i believe a number of years of service. so, certainly we did the budget season together last year. thank you for all of your hard work, victor. you're going to be hard to replace, but thank you for all of your time here and look forward to working together, you'll still come bay and help us out once in a while. >> have we taken action on 13 yet? >> we will do that. first of all, can i continue item number 13 to the call of the chair? we can take that without opposition. [gavel] >> victor actually was budget chair when i was first -- he was clerk when i was budget chair in 2009 and the year before that. i think it's been at least six years that you were on the roll, but you served as the clerk for this committee. i know it's a lot of work and you've done a fantastic job and thank you for your service. >> thanks, victor. >> thank you very much. >> mr. clerk, do we have anything else before you? uous? >> that completes the agenda for today. >> okay, we are adjourned. [gavel]

thanks for joining us on this beautiful december day to mark this ground breaking of the exciting new edition of the san francisco landscape. my name is mike sanford. i work for the reality corporation. it's my pleasure to be your mc today. on behalf of reality and all of our partners and this development project. welcome. i was talking to my daughter this morning, she's 4 years old and she says to me like most days,

"daddy, what are you doing today?" actually i have a very exciting day. we are meeting with people this afternoon and most importantly i get to be part of this ground breaking project and the mayor is going to be here. he runs the city and thinking she would be very impressed with her father. and she says okay, can i watch my little pony on your ipad. she will be the media worker and i know this will be the cutting edge when she's ready to join the work force. 333 brandon is the lead project development in san francisco. like everything that we are inspired to do in this great city it's a very special project. it's located at the nexus of the industrial city's past and all the future.

it creates a unique opportunity for us to explore the character and contemporary spaces and operating systems designed to increase worker productivity. it incorporates many of today's many ideas of sustainable development and operation. as you will hear from our partner david johnson and his firm. it has our leadership goal to high quality enterprises in san francisco and nurtures a business environment that supports strong economic growth as you will hear from mayor lee. it also established new benchmark for what is possible today for commercial development and you will happy hear from our company leader. john kilroy. i think you will understand that we are a huge

believer of san francisco. we have demonstrated that faith in local management, resources and development. it has taken a big teamworking together very closely to bring us to today's ground breaking. that is a lot of people and we are glad to see to many people with us today. it's my pleasure to introduce one of the city's biggest visionaries and supporters. the mayor learned from the very beginning what a very exciting opportunity this has been and he's supported us every way through this development. i know my daughter will understand 1 day how special it is to have him here. please welcome honorable mayor lee. >> mike, thanks very much. congratulations to you and certainly to john and what a wonderful design concept you have here for sure. i'm really excited to see this go up.

first of all, happy holidays! it's always great to be with john kilroy because he's been a great partner in our economic recovery for the city. i can't think of another developer who has been so diverse in its work and the kind of tenants that are coming into his buildings. if you have a chance, like a lot of us walking down from the bart station to the ballpark on second street, you will see what i mean when you see the vibe -- of that whole corridor and the wonderful projects that it's done. today's site, i have to say to you, i have been to this site before. any other it's a parking lot but it was the firefighter's chili cook off site. on occasions you have some good events here but it represents some of those areas

that are under valued and the great companies like this and you look at these historic areas and you think what could we do to bring more value to it and as you see this open floor plan, windows that can operate. the idea that you can have a building that not only matches some of the historic buildings around here and compliments it which is design, but could be as modern as what you would expect. we need those buildings, we need those examples. john and his team, they are all coming up. also, it's not in expensive to do this. i mean, you have to add on some additional cost for that and i want to thank you for that because having a water reclamation system on the site

is incredibly reflective. that means we are hoping for rain. but it is, i think a very demonstrate -- a modern progressive design. but also designed for a very diversed bunch of clients and the new, it's not just tech, it could be anybody that wants to work in a collaborative environment. what happens when you look at the kilroy portfolio, you see the tenants, pack 12, new ones like kc, i think it's tv and some other names that i can't even pronounce, crinkle is one of them and others that i have yet to visit. i have to do that on my tuesdays is visit some of

these sites that i can't pronounce. i want to congratulations you and thank the other departments that be working closely with you to make sure that we honor the pace of these developments because these are very invaluable times to us right now. i predict that a couple years from now we'll look back and say, gosh, these were good times to work closely together because it is about economic recovery. it is about jobs for everyone, for everyone, for all different incomes in the city. and these are areas of the city where we are challenged where we have under utilized. there will be more sites where we identify yesterday. we can do creative things and i will be tapping the creativeness of kilroy reality for helping me with house dmangdz -- demands in this city as well. we need

this creative approach constantly and you are going to see this building immediately with these creative forces that are offering more jobs and creating more jobs that are sustainable for the long-term. i just want to see what it's doing in this area so close to the transit system and park. this is going to be a great building. the materials they are going to be using is going to be complimentary and complimentary to what you see on the revitalization of the market with all the companies that are there. i want to again thank kilroy for being such a great leader. by the way, in addition to being a fantastic realtor and developer, john has been great. thank you, john, for your support that in a very big way. he's actually civic

minding and participating in so many other things. they have their own giving foundation that i have been very thankful for because you are also showing that fill -- philanthropic season. i'm here for the last chili cook off and make sure that we are working to create more opportunities for the people to succeed in this city. kilroy, congratulations, johnson, thanks for your fantastic design and working together for putting this on and to your whole family happy holidays!

and congratulations. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you very much, mr. mayor. i had the pleasure of first working with dave johnson on the development of square one here in soma. i'm glad we can collaborate again today. please welcome our architect dave johnson. [ applause ] >> good morning, everybody. thank you very much. these are such kind words, it's amazing. it's a beautiful day. thank you, mike. but i want to say this you to the people to the community of south park who might be here today to see this conversion that it's making from a parking lot that had a cultural history from a chili cook off that will be a new vibrant addition to the

neighborhood. this is such a tremendous change. this neighborhood is an important fabric of san francisco and the future of san francisco. our approach when we started this project was humbling by first understanding the nature of this place as the mayor described. one of the textures of the neighborhood, one of the opportunities for light, air, views, shade, habitat, art and joy, where could we tap into. single family -- we brace the challenge and the opportunities of the future. defining opportunities that can create long value and how about a property that increases value over time in this neighborhood. in doing so we work at multiple scales called the cradled

framework in a design to create more good rather than less bad. at first we started the smaller scales, we continued to work at the small scales and continue to work with a team to find those materials that are going to promote human and ecological health down to the molecule. one of the products that we are most excited about and i think we are going to be one of the very first to use a substitute for firing a brick where we are going to be using a biological process to create brick paveers similar to that brick to create a model. at the broader scale we've adopted and supported the strategy that the city has put forward in this neighborhood to create an eco district and we continue to support these ideas

as we find ways to share resources and spaces and places to create a courtyard that we share. create streets that in vietinvite people and share resources and buildings. i want to thank you very much for this opportunity. we have a tremendous team that we all should give a hand to. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you, dave. i have that had privilege of working with john kilroy now for about 3 years. i recognized early on that he has three attributes for effective leadership. he's always looking ahead for the important ideas that shape the future of commercial real estate. at the same time he's absolutely grounded in the moment. he's committed to delivering every project to the highest standards. there would be no

333 brandon street without john's vision and energy and optimism and ability to move a project forward. it's my pleasure to introduce him now. please welcome john kilroy, president and ceo of the company. [ applause ] >> he's either a germ foeb. thank you for the comment. i'm sure your daughter will be a tech person. it's great to see everybody here today and thanks for coming out. it's actually nice and warm right here where it's back in the shade it's a bit chilly. as mike noted we've been deepening our commitment to the city in a spectacular way in the course of three years. we have 4.5 million square feet that we own or operating or under construction including this development

here. this represents a total investment of several billion dollars and we are not done. i can tell you we are working on a lot of other opportunities here in this community and i have to say and i said this to multiple groups, investor groups, when ed is gone as mayor of the city, we have to send him to washington because he knows how to get things done. if we have him back there, think of the revitalization we can have as the economics in the united states. i could not say enough about our mayor ed lee. he's a remarkable guy and that goes for the city department that we work with on a daily basis. this is a great example of our commitment to quality and long lasting product and to the environment. i want to take a moment to introduce someone

very special to the kilroy organization, our vice-president of sustainability. sarah, stand up, wave. shake hands with the mayor. you can tell your daughter you did that. this is a woman that academic -- came into my office several years ago. i knew her dad very well. we were very good friends and she was getting a masters degree and her dad asked me if i would meet with her and talk about the future and not for the idea of working for kilroy, but i said, you know what, the right place for you is here because i want to be the leader in office buildings in the united states and you come to work for us and show us how it's done and she has done a remarkable job. so sarah, thanks very much. [ applause ] this project isn't the biggest one in the city that we are doing or that anybody is doing. but it's a pretty remarkable

project. it's a second lead in platinum building. we tried to make it net zero. you can't do it in existing law but we are working to change the law. it embraces everything that we hold dear at kilroy. i'm sure it's going to be real successful. we are having a number of discussions right now. but the platinum design includes among other things, a living roof, reducing emissions, a huge bike storage area. i like to ride bikes. shower, locker facilities for people that ride bikes and work out. we are talking about rain water being harvested to flush toilets and renewable power generated on-site. this building will consume 2 percent less negligent and 45 percent

less water. in nearly 95 percent of what you see today will be recycled, all of this stuff here, 95 percent of this is going to be recycled into the project itself. think of that, less trucks on the street. it's all good. and it's pretty amazing that we have the technology in this country to do those kinds of amazing things today. it uses every inch of space to create large work spaces to create collaboration from the work force from the ground to the rooftop garden. you will see court yards and other places that we are beyond requirement to do. i'm a landscape freak, quality freak and that permeates our entire organization. we want to be an example o
