to take a look at the funding allocation it's for the next year and the third recommendation to identify one time funds help fund priority projects for the city. lastly i just wanted to give a little preview, we are working on a micro site for the ict plan and make it more accessible and more transparent. this is a sdeen for our home page as well as the inter pages of our website. that is my presentation. thank you very much. i am available to answer any questions. i know that miguel gammano is also available. >> thank you very much. i'm just curious relative to other cities and so forth, have we done a study of our investment in it versus other

places whether, where are we, are we behind others? >> thank you for the questions. in the it plan we do the evaluation of citywide ict spending in the city. i can't remember the exact number but what we have found in working with taking a look at some of our peers we are kind of right within the range that we would anticipate however many folks have notes that the cost of implementing projects in san francisco might be higher, the wages and salaries that we pay to our it professionals might be slightly higher than other places. it is something that we consider and we have to discuss that koit as a benchmark. so again, what we have found is we are right within the range that we have seen within our peers. >> thank you.

>> supervisor wiener? >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you for that presentation. i have a few questions, first the wifi program, do we have a way of monitoring the quality control for that. i say that before, i still thinking the market street wifi is often unusable and in fact it's worth the non-existent and others have experienced it as well that your phone links as wifi and you have to turn off your wifi in order to use the data on the phone. do we have a way to monitor that because it's frustrating when we are rolling out to the public that we

have this program and it doesn't work. >> miguel gammaino. thanks for the question, we are working aggressively on that esh. we monitor the quality of the network and the connections from the back end with management and monitoring tools and then actively monitor it on what i call the front end or the user experience on social media and things like that and respond directly and almost immediately to those sorts of moments of feedback that we get. the way it's constructed left to work with. the issues you said about being connected and disconnected has to do with the way the system was designed initially. >> i'm not talking about having the disconnect and reconnect, i'm talking

about the wifi simply not working. if you go and turn it off, you have to grab your phone to turn it off just so you can use your lte. the question is what's wrong with the market of wifi and when will it be fixed? >> it's being fixed as we speak. it has to do with the way the system as ark chitected initially and we are working with the vendor. we are very much focused on your experience ha you are talking about. personally i live on market street and i'm kind of the active tester of that and i have experienced that and a principal point of feedback to the team as to what is working and what is not. we are

working on that precise issue. >> i can't remember the timing but i remember standing at the plaza and with supervisor lee and chiu, i think it's been a year 1/2 sense we announced the free wifi on market and it's been some time. seems like something that should have been probably resolved awhile ago because it's not a new issue. >> yes, there is some art form to the science and it has significantly improved from the last three months from personal experience and feedback identify been collecting. there is some art form to the radio frequency and the way the antennas are aligned and things change. it's important to tell you that it requires on going support and maintenance which we are doing

actively. but it doesn't surprise me that you experienced that about a year ago and i can tell you in the very recent months we've made significant technical adjustments in equipment and configuration changes that have experienced it quite a bit. >> okay, i will let it go but i have experienced it more recently . another issue, last year we passed a legislation that supervisor chiu and i coauthored about laying concrete on the street. it's very frustrating to many people in the city that were tearing up like every street in the city. a lot of work has been done and covered up so far without laying conduit and

frankly the city departments should have been laying conduit on their own without having been directed by the board of supervisors to do it. it's just common sense. the question is i can't remember when exactly in the past it was last summer and probably some time in the summer, the question is how much conduit has been laid in our streets as part of the roadwork sense we passed that legislation? >> right. so the legislation was passed right before chiu left and we being the department were given the responsibility for developing the implementation for that and the timeline i believe was may which is when we planned to have that prepared and ready. we have a consultant on board that is very experienced with this effort in helping us identify the criteria by which and the method by

which we'll receive those opportunities and decide whether conduit should be installed or not. as you know the legislation, the default if if a road is excavated that cop duty be put in and we have a clear process by which will evaluate those opportunities. we've also included in the connectivity plan the version the current version that is publiced. a pretty robust forecast and plan for how we would exercise that legislation and that conduit opportunity following the current road excavation plans which identify where that conduit would be implemented going forward. >> so, it's been, i don't know, it wasn't right before david chiu left, it was months before he left. it's been at least 7 or 8 months. i guess

we can go back and take a look at that. i understand you want tools to -- to have criteria but as we speak roads are being covered and once we cover them, it's going to be a long time. my understanding that no conduit was installed before legislation was passed and i understand why you want to have criteria in place. you want to have that and i have concerns about getting bushed -- pushed back and i'm concerned that the criteria might be so constrained that we are going to see a lower a lesser amount of conduit installed. i'm looking forward to seeing those criteria but i'm concerned that we are continuing to let

streets being covered up without conduit. it's not rocket science despite what city departments say. it's not that complicated and there are streets where it's so crystal clear that there should be conduit there and i don't think we should have to wait until some lengthy city and county of san francisco for the process to come up with the procedure to come up with the guidelines and the rules and years later you start doing what we should have done years before. i'm a little frustrated for the years and years that we've been digging up streets that our city department should have been laying conduit without having to do so. you know it's a lot and i'm expressed by frustration, not just to dt but

array of these departments for these delays. >> the positive kind of response i can provided is that i'm very pragmatic and i agree with the roles that we should be taking a look at and what needs to be a well thought process because once the streets are open, we have a window of opportunity and we need to take advantage of it because when it's covered up, it's covered up for a while. we are being very thoughtful but i think also moving through it very quickly. we are not creating a bureaucratic process of meetings and meetings and committees and what not. we are getting to a presentable policy and criteria very quickly. by next month's time we'll have that ready for departments to review and you

certainly have copy of that and input. so i think we are going to move fairly quickly. >> and i know, i actually i know that you want to see this happen. so i know that you are, your viewpoint is pretty well aligned with mine and i also know that you have limited control. i have seen this movie before when it comes to streetscape and street safety pedestrian project and you will issue these guidelines and i can guarantee you there will be a multi-years of departmental review. i have seen this before. an they will go through layer and layer of reviewing in each of the departments and guaranteed some of the departments will come back with completely unacceptable feedback that will basically can ill the program and it will go around and around and by the

time it's finalized two things will happen, it's very water down or if there is backing to that we'll have years and many many blocks of covered up street in the interim. so i actually, i don't like how, i don't like this process because i think it's really, it's going to take too much time and i think we are going to lose a lot of opportunities. i will say that i am, you know i didn't necessarily agree with all the compromise, i understand this, if we need to go back to the legislation and mandate it that it's going to happen on every street that is dug up. i would like to see the city department to work on

this expeditiously. >> i believe we will have something very thoughtful and complete and that will inspire that legislation. >> thank you very much. >> i really appreciate the planning that's been going on for many years and the plan. like supervisor yee i'm interested in how we compare with other cities. i will bring up chattanooga since we are interested in their fiber network and the potential of san francisco lifting all boats of inclusion from low income people to immigrants to have access to high speed internet and how the city might have the potential to do that like some other cities have done. there is no mention of a digital divide and people who might not have access to the digital future. i think some

estimates show that it might be as many as 100,000 people with no access and 50,000 that still are using dial up and many with not a lot of speed that others have. in your plan what is being done to address that digital divide that perhaps 200,000 people in our city. is high speed internet access available at homes and what are we doing to make sure that people aren't left behind and large number of people in our neighborhoods? >> thank you for the question, supervisor mar. there is a section of the ict plan that is connectivity plan, and that connectivity plan lays out our plans for fiber network build outs, the big ones, those are very well

flushed out in terms of their variables in their details. then there are two other sections that are sf wifi in the expansion of the public actions and the call to fiber around the home and gig speed to the homes. those two sections have a lot of dynamics to be flushed out. iteration two of the connectivity plan we are working towards will help fl you should out those two latter sections in finer detail and we hope will call to issue to action for that effort in exercising for using the investment of the municipal fiber network to help further those latter sections. the one that we are making progress on is wifi for public

ways and a lot will be communicated around how to crystallize the opportunity and the values and outcomes intended for fiber to the home and project or initiative and what is our role in that. rather intelligently apply these assets that we do have to help bring that forward for the city and county of san francisco. >> so you are saying you are not in support of a municipal sector like chattanooga and that it's not really the government's responsibility to provide free and affordable wireless internet access from a strategy seven or 8 years ago from a task force from our city, is that what you are saying? >> i think those two sections still have dean -- dynamics need to

be flushed out. what i can tell you that it will likely be a hybrid. we have fiber backbone, we have conduit systems, we have a lot of assets that we can bring to bear but whether or not we are going to directlien -- invest in fiber to flush out to people's home goes far beyond what the city's cio oh pines. >> i appreciate the control that you have and i appreciate the planning. i still hope that we have a big vision. i think sf wifi is great, but i would hope that equity and social justice in bringing people up to the digital future especially those that don't have access now should be a key strategic goal for any

technology for a plan and a city like ours and the failed earth link planning with the city and even other efforts with looking at other options to me, i hope we don't ignore a lot of the work done by many community advocates as we try to think about digital inclusion strategies. i know we have a hearing coming up tomorrow too on a greatest budget and legislative analyst report on the city and other cities and what they are doing as well. i appreciate your comments as well. >> supervisor tang? >>supervisor katy tang: thank you, i had a question because it looks that the presentation that major allocation that they increase by 10% annually as well as the annual project

allocation by 6% and the plan on 24 there is a chart that shows some of the request coming in to fiscal year 20. as those are submitted it will go up. it looks like those are decreasing. no. 1 i wanted to see if increasing, i'm sure there is a lot of who, to do but increasing those allocations by 10%. you know how the capital plan shows the nexus between where our funding is being allocated and at what point we are going to meet the demands and the needs, is there any analysis on that? >> this is a very good question, thank you for asking it. i think the table that you have a question about is the one and i'm just making sure that i'm clear where it shows the need growing in year two and decreasing over

years 3-5. i think what we tried to show and actually an earlier table historically what we found that departments have told us that they have a challenge thing time of projecting out it needs beyond the next year or two. so unlike capital where you can kind of see year over year, how deferred maintenance may you know build and eventually you won't need to replace a building, it systems and projecting out it is much more complex and departments have a much more challenging doing that. and the first three projects, these three that we are building out. as you know they are hitting substantially the request are hitting koit in the year two of the budget and that's one of the things that we will have to evaluate if potentially sequencing these projects so the general fund can afford

paying for them as well as looking for other sources to fund them. so i think what i'm trying to say that we see the project request going down in years 3-5, but historically what we found 2 years from now the request are higher. so we've been trying to get a grasp of what those will be years 3-5 but we have been told from city departments cio's that it's very challenging to do that. >> okay. colleagues, any further questions at this point in time? >> mr., mr. rhodes, can we go to your report, please. >> member: $20 a month, just $0.65 -- >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, we know that communication estimated $100 million in

general fund and after that total revenue an allocation for 91 $91 million for major projects. and we show on table 2 which shows major fund revenues for specific projects. we do recommended that you approve this legislation and i will be glad to respond to any questions. >> thank you very much, mr. rhodes. colleagues any questions? is there any additional public comment? seeing none public comment is closed.. i want to thank you for all of your hard work in putting this together. i know i mentioned to you questions about some of the process for some of the

items for the clerk of our supervisor board. i would like to thank you for your hard work and all the issues that my colleagues touched upon today and it's at the heart of getting these done. note that you are going to have our commitment for pushing these items forward. >> colleagues, we have item no. 3. excuse me, mr. chairman, i believe there is a minor change. >> can i have a motion to amend the item as suggested. it's only to approve one number. >> through the chair i would like to withdraw my motion and amend the legislation as stated previously on the record and forwarded out with a positive recommends to the board. >> okay, great, can i have a second,

without objection. madam clerk, please call item 4. city clerk: item no. 4, controllers 6-month budget status report. item no. 5, financial plan fiscal years 2015-2016 through 2019-2020. >> you have this. >> good afternoon, kate howard. the mayor's budget director. thank you for inviting us to talk about the 6-month budget update and michelle from the controllers office is going to update you on the city's current financial outlook and i will dive into the city's 5-year financial plan. >> good afternoon, supervisors, this will be brief in the 6 months report because it will be updated in

the next few weeks. a few highlights from the report that feed into the 5-year financial plan that kate is going to talk about. essentially between the report $16.7 million additional. with the current tax and prior tax year. and because of the changes in revenue particularly transfer attack we are projecting an additional $16.7 million deposit in the current year to stabilization year for another $36 million. >> this is as of december 31st? >> largely but if we have information passed december 30th, we are

using that. >> okay. >> so this is a summary table from our report. just some highlights from section b on this table. you are seeing almost $97 million in revenue improvement. it's about $32 million in property transfer tax, about $23 million in business tax and $19 million in tax. we give part of that to our baseline. that's $10 million. departmental operations and net of -- the human services agency did lower than expected case load and we have litigation in the city, some positive decisions received by the city's end of the year. the free up reserves that were held to pay litigation,

about $11 million as well as better than expected revenues at the dph affordable care act more coverage, more primary care revenue largely. so leading to total current year changes of almost $120 million. we have some changes to $23 million in reserve deposits that we didn't budget mostly for transfer tax going into reserve and from the incentive fund. and so the net impact of all of these things, the bottom line is $21 million in the financial plan update that howard is going to talk about. this $17.9 million in section d. this is the general reserve that we hadn't

projected earlier in the year. it's $14.5 million that we have to use to back fill development revenue and not projected to be released in the -- realized in the current year and that number is going to come down in our 9 months projection. at this point i will point it out to kate howard unless you have any questions. >> thank you very much. >> great. so thank you again for letting us talk about the 5-year financial plan. i just want to give my appreciation to harvey rhodes and budget analyst office and drew moral and lisa sandler in the controllers budget office. this is a shared effort between the three of our

offices. a result of the financial team that was made through charter through prop a by the voters. what i have for you today is an update of the document that i presented to you about a month 1/2 ago. the major updates to the financial plan include the controllers plan views and the adoption of capital and ict plans that you heard about earlier today and then because of changes in inflationary cost you will see those updates reflected here as well as potential impacts of the governor's proposed state budget. so the next slide just shows you high level, what's happening with sources and uses. so you can see significant revenue growth over the next 5 years. strongest in the
