to look at the 13-14 budget would be helpful. i'm inclined to say that we're probably in line with the budget this year unless, you know, for the fy15-16 year, unless there's some sort of consideration to make for the committee clerk salary and benefits just so that we would have if enough in the budget if we wanted to use outside consultant services. but i think that just echoing back to commissioner lindo's thoughts on what do we do after that, is that we'll have a greater need for outside services as we sort of switch gears into a body that's not so consumed with cca

>> i will definitely, i have the notes to get the 13-14 budget. i think that's something that's pretty easy for the clerk's office to produce for us, and i will talk to the clerk's office about the half clerk assignment and probably have someone come and present at the next meeting when we do the budget. what i would recommend is that you approve what's in front of you today so our process can keep moving forward. tpb not approval of the actual budget, we come back next month and we'll be able to hopefully answer your questions and you can approve or disapprove and we can accept the proposed budget and bring that back to the body and make an actual decision at the next meeting on the budget itself. >> you have possible action,

xavier. i for one see the need to have a reserve to pay for consultant services so i would like to keep that in and it's something that can be rolled over year and year if we don't use. i don't think it makes sense that we tie our hands from doing new work that a consultant could provide for us, setting direction for lafco. so i'm okay making that one-time allocation. we can continue it year after year if we need to and essentially lafco's operate on a budget that's continued year after year, it's been looked out in a research for a sense and not taken city and county funds for cca going forward. i'm looking forward to that. i wasn't expecting to have a vote today even though it's a possible action item before. it hasn't been my experience

necessarily that we interim budget and before the 3 4 f1vote, commissioner breed. >> i don't feel i have enough information with certain items on the budget to say i'm comfortable moving it forward. based on things in the past that we discussed as possible action, as far as i was concerned, gave us the opportunity to determine

whether or not we take action and i get that you have done it this way in the past in terms of taking action, but i just think that there's too much uncertainty to make me feel comfortable about moving the budget forward today. >> you are not moving the budget forward today, you are approving -- what you are doing is you are saying we've had this hearing, we've accepted this hearing, we've been presented with a budget, it now needs to go to the city and county of san francisco and come back and have discussion and actual real action on the budget at the next meeting. what you are doing today is not an actual budget, what you are saying is we've held this hearing, it's been heard and we are moving foreforward with the process itself. at the next meeting if you decide you are not comfortable approving a budget because we haven't answered all your questions, i would say, yes, allow the process to continue to move so we can get the answers you are looking for and have a more rebust discussion at the next meeting. >> so is there a resolution

outlining that so i can feel confident that that's specifically what i am approving? you are telling me something verbally but we don't have what we are approving as relates to any written communication because my understanding from how we've dealt with this situation in the past is we have approved was before us. so it would be helpful to know if there's a resolution that we are basically disagreeing he could use this as a draft budget in order to negotiate moving forward with the budget, that would make more sense to me. but in essence what i'm saying now is i support this budget budget, which i don't, and moving on forward in the future if i decide i don't want to support it at this time then i'm basically changing my mind about supporting it. that's how i see it. >> first off, you are not approving a budget today, that's not what the potential was, what's being here is you are acknowledging that we've

had this hearing, what we've presented a budget at this hearing. there are clearly questions that need to be addressed and we will address them --. >> i hear what you're saying. >> we've never done this by resolution. it's always just been a motion saying, acknowledging that this has occurred and to communicate to the city and county that this has been met at this point and that we could make changes, to the degree you want to say you can make changes because you had changes on x, y and z, by all means do that and that can be part of the communication we send to the city and county. >> i guess i don't understand why it's necessary. >> lisa is looking up the code. >> government code 56381 requires the commission to adopt annually the proposed budget by may 1st. >> by when?

>> may 1st. >> that's all you have in terms of --. >> i'm still reading the rest of it. >> so our clerk is still looking at the legislative code so what we can do, take additional comments, i think if commissioner breed still wants to continue , after that mr. lindo and then we'll go to public comment and hope we get an answer. mr. lindo. >> thank you. no, i was thinking, i think the code is going to clarify this. but it seems like there is a legislative requirement that is hovering over your head that you need to present something to someone, if i'm not mistaken. but it doesn't have to be an approved budged. is that right? >> we don't approve a final budget until the second of the hearings and this is our first hearing. >> is it possible to approve a

budged submitted by our executive director and you need to relay that information to, that we've relayed it and we will be voetding on it at our next meeting? >> are you talking about the proposed budget or the final budget? >> it sounds like you need a vote to say that we saw them, it's under review, and we will vote on it for a final version at a later date. >> from what i understand of the process is we need to knowledge that we've done this and that we're communicating a proposed budget. it is not by any stretch of the imagination a final budget. there is still work that needs to be done on t because we have may 1st to do it, you could decide not to do anything, but we would have to have another properly noticed meeting. >> we could also just take action next week and have an

official vote next week, next month. correct? >> correct. one of the things to keep in mind. >> you could decide we need to do another properly noticed meeting. there's a special notice that needs to be put out. >> let's not belabor this. if we're not ready to have a vote, let's not do a vote. i'd rather work out the differences over the next month, not just coming to the next lafco meeting but working with our offices and the folks here and the clerk in the interim and then we can have a spepbs going on next lafco meeting. i don't want here next lafco meeting unless they change the date. so why don't we open this up

for public comment? >> good afternoon again, commissioners, eric brooks, san francisco green party, our city and san francisco clean energy advocates. so on this item i would also, i'm kind of glad you are postponing this. i understand where director fried is coming from, but i think there's a lot that needs to be thought about. one has to do with the budget for the director and staff themselves. we expect that community choice will probably go along swimmingly early next year. however, i just want to remind, i know you have heard this ad nauseam, but it's so important that the reason the advocates have pushed this program for so long and worked to get it off the ground for so long is my tenants said the local buildout. that may not

be flushed out entirely and we may need commissioner porter and diligence than we might think. so let's be prepared. after cca does get off the ground, i think there are so many things that are so crucial that are coming up. once cca is put to bed, myself and a lot of other advocates community broad band is are groiing to make that our no. 1 priority. we've got the public banking issue that was brought up by commissioner avalos that also may need to be explored. we've got issues of getting the mta to expand. i think the role is lafco is to get the city to do a more visionary policy, then we've got some very serious housing issues that we want to take up with study work at

lafco. there's a lot of stuff we need to fund and i would urge you to give yourself the latitude to be flexible and able to do this. we've been able to do this. we've been very generous . >> thank you very much. we will close public comment. this item do we want to continue or we can file it. >> i would suggest continuing it to the next april meeting. >> so we'll continue this item to the call of the chair. we can take that, colleagues, without objection? >> first and second? >> actually, mr. chair, if you would like to make plans to change the meeting so that you are able to attend in order to participate in the discussion around the budget i am open to that. so i'm not certain that we should specify the date that we are going to hear this item.

>> question, can i -- do we have to do a decision here to change the date for next year's meeting or in the interim we can do that? >> we can do a pole and find out which would work, i would have to check with the clerk's office about proper neat ising so we can get that notice done properly. >> if we can have a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair and then we can set the special date. >> so moved. >> motion from commissioner breed, seconded by commissioner cruz and we'll cake that without objection. >> okay, let's go on with our next item. abl there's a lot to add. >> can i call the item first? item no. 5, executive officer's report. a, status update

regarding the study on the implementation and opportunities for undergrounding wires and expansion of fiber networks in san francisco and, b, status update regarding the study on open source elections. >> we're moving forward through the two items mentioned. we should have a report next week on the undergrounding expansion report. we should have something next week and i will put it out on the web site, submitted to all the folks who i know are submitted on our side and then give a presentation the next meeting about that report and we are continuing to work on the open source one as well. we might have both reports ready to go for the next meeting since we have our amazing intern working on that one. finally, just a reminder, that april 1st is when your sunshine ethics and form 700 forms are due. if you are a member of the board of supervisors and

you filled it out there, you are covered. please get your forms and stuff in so we have 100 percent participation. thank you. >> great. this item is now open up for public comment. public comment is open to the executive officer's report. >> good afternoon, iep steven edwards from the san francisco coalition to underground utilities. first i'd like to thank director fried for his assistance in trying to get the undergrounding of electrical and communications telecommunications utilities undergrounded. this is a perfect use for lafco and i would agree with previous speaker who said that the budget for lafco is exactly to study this kind of thing and for you to continue to have an adequate budget means that an infrastructure project that cannot be researched by

individuals or the general public can still be funded and studied by lafco. so thank you very much, director fried. >> thank you, any other member of the public who would like to comment? seeing none we will close public comment and go on to our next item. >> item no. 6, public comment. >> public comment again. any member of the public who would like to comment? seeing no one come forward we will close public comment and our next item. >> item no. 7, future agenda items. >> okay, colleagues, any future issues to bring forward? okay, we will have public comment on future agenda items and we'll close public and go to our last item. >> item no. 8, adjournment. >> colleagues, we are adjourned. i would like to thank jennifer low and bill dylon for their work broadcasting today's lafco meeting. (meeting adjourned).

i'm nicole and lindsey, i like the fresh air. when we sign up, it's always so gratifying. we want to be here. so i'm very excite ied to be here today. >> your volunteerism is appreciated most definitely.

>> last year we were able to do 6,000 hours volunteering. without that we can't survive. volunteering is really important because we can't do this. it's important to understand and a concept of learning how to take care of this park. we have almost a 160 acres in the district 10 area. >> it's fun to come out here. >> we have a park. it's better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park.

>> the street, every time, our friends. >> i think everybody should give back. we are very fortunate. we are successful with the company and it's time to give back. it's a great place for us. the weather is nice. no rain. beautiful san francisco. >> it's a great way to be able to have fun and give back and walk away with a great feeling. for more opportunities we have volunteering every single day of the week. get in touch with the parks and recreation center so come
