through six 6 months of the year and we are projecting for the trust to have a 23 to increase our fund balance by $23.1 million. this is $4.5 million greater than what we reported in our last meeting. we have tied up all of our money and we are in a really good financial position based on the policies that you have approved today. right now the $23 .1 million is comprised of $11.3 million in state plan net assets. $5.9 million in favorable claim experience in the blue shield flex plan. 5.3 increase in estimated favorable claims experiences in the dental plan. reduction of a million dollars in

medical insurance premium revenues after the early retirement reassurance program is applied. the account for filing claims. we still don't have -- because our run out period has not ended, we still are not 100 percent sure how everything is going to end up working with it forward. we still feel like we are going to have this increase in forfeitures..9 million in interest, point $3 million guaranteed paid by blue shield and $4 million general transfers to general fund. we started out with having a $77

million fund balance and together we'll end up, we think we'll end up around $100 million balance in the trust fund. we are looking at, if you look at, we have to reevaluate, but based on what we've been carrying in terms of obligation and reserves it was $28.6 million. it was $131 million. i need to update my numbers to make sure there are no other things hanging there like in june. i don't think we are over funded. after funding everything that was talked about, you will have opportunities in terms of how we deal with the excess whether it pays back, or if

you want to use it to subsidize. there is various options available. in the general fund we are looking at a savings of approximately $328 million. what does that mean? it means that we have not been able to fill positions in projecting $478,000 in savings. this is again still due to testing and approval process that really elongates our ability for the time it takes to get approval to hire and hire. we are, the best thing offset by over expenditures in professional services estimated based by looking at the improvement project that tenant improvement projects, some things that are in our

professional services and as we talked about the workers comp claims. the balance that we are projecting in the general fund are sitting down with the mayor's office in the next couple of weeks in the controllers office to start talking about how we can ensure that we can carry over some of that funding for things that are -- that we may not have in terms of getting new funding. so in other words, my goal is to do horse trading. and this is the time that we have the ability, we have ask in. we have a source of money because we are under expending this year. we have to see how much they have projected that to use and we are going to start working on horse trading with this. so, although, we would like to

not be in a position with the general fund balance, i fully anticipate we are a whole. any questions? >> it's sometimes best not to disclose your strategy, but thank you for the information. >> you don't have my full strategy. believe me. all departments do exactly what i'm talking about doing, but it all has to do with timing. >> thank you. >> thank you. any public comment on this item? >> r ccsf, what i wanted to bring up was when we were also discussing the budget it's really engaging that rose felt nthal the controller has had meetings in the past with a number of us with regard to

the financial situation at health service. i think he gained a bit of knowledge about that and i think it would be good to actively engage him and get him to better understand what we are dealing with. i'm stunned at the balance on our trust fund, but the fact that we are in a new age where we really, as long as we are doing flex funding and we are looking at things being self insured that we really need those assets and there is no question so the city shouldn't look at that kind of pot that we can grasp hold of and we are saving millions at the other end and they seem to have a problem of remembering that when it comes to budget time. but whatever you can do to engage. i think rosen field would do a good thing and the mayor's not here to get involved. whatever you can do

to support that position is what will benefit all of us here mostly. so thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment? seeing none. well, we move to item no. 16 since we already have the other. >> item 16. report on network plan if any. >> i spoke to our vendors. there is no news. no news is good news. >> any public comment on this item okay. no public comment. item no. 17. >> discussion item, opportunity to place items on future agendas? >> it's not placing an item on the future agenda but i do want it noted that i will not

be able to attend the next board meeting due to preplanned travel for a conference for my church. so i'm sure you guys are able to cover all that is planned on the agenda. >> we will have to have an appeal. the appeal will be continued on an item for that next time. so i'm sure we won't have any problems finding agenda items. any public comment? item no. 18. >> item 18. discussion item opportunity for the public to comment on any matters on the boards jurisdiction? >> i want to bring up an example that some miles away from san francisco it has relevance to the city. the seattle seahawks won the super bowl and the players play

him. there are too many bullies at the work site who act like the miami dolphins coach which resulted in a major scandal. unfortunately professional football is run like city government. we need a lot less bullying and people in administrative positions and people who behave like pete carroll. because if people like employees really need to be productive. this is a lesson for seattle and it certainly has bearing here. that's one reason why i support the seahawks. forget the 49ers. >> dennis krueger, retired and active firefighters. i want to compliment commissioner or

her overwhelming reelection. i'm very happy. congratulations and also the fact that the health board is now moving into new quarters. again, will not be connected in the same building with the same retirement system. wasn't that the ultimate goal that's been going on for years. i'm glad you got that out to facilities. i was wondering on that part. >> thank you for the question. i think we've always wanted to be -- located with our retirees. that's a goal for us. we have heard that the retiree, the recommendation that the retirement system move into our same building has hit some snags and it is very important that the retiree community that's interested in seeing us get engaged in that conversation.

i encourage that and i hope, keep my fingers cross and if they do move into the same building. there are a lot of retirees that we see on a daily basis who struggle to get to our office and have a hard time to get from our building to retirement. i really hope it happens. >>. that is the last of our items. >> one thing i don't think we are clear after the closed session is the decision to not hold a vote about whether to disclose what was said. i just want to make sure that's clear for the record. >> we couldn't vote because we didn't have a quorum. >> yes, and also i believe everything that was discussed in closed session would be covered under the confidentiality provision of hippa so there wouldn't have

been an ability to disclose even if you wanted to. i just wanted to make sure that was clear. the vote the moot due to that confidentiality issue. >> thank you. i also want to acknowledge our new attorney for this meeting. she is not eric rap port. lauren, thank you for being here today. that's it. if there is no objection, this meeting is adjourned. >> thank you. >> >> [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >> >>
