1:50 pm
horizon i anticipate two ballot measures this year that will expand our region in the c afro-and the definition of a lobbyist and in the next year, we have electronic filing financial disclosure wore standing to thousands in the city if we take responsibility so our mission while it stays the same our responsibility continue to grow that is all i have to say i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor tang. >> sorry if you can repeat the amount in the election campaign. >> it is capped as $7 million. >> and in terms of the upcoming anticipated or - >> the you mean elections how
1:51 pm
much we're going to spend. >> yeah. >> it is difficult we have a mayoral election it could be considerable in a number of people qualify and in district 3 so could be a couple of hundred of thousand or likely to be less than more but my crystal ball is not complete. >> understandable thank you. >> thank you mr. sincroy. >> thank you for being here itch appreciated up next from the department of elections. >> good afternoon john director
1:52 pm
of elections the departments budget the main driver the amount of elections for the you mean fiscal year two elections you can see on 2015-2016 we had one election poster year our budget it constant depending upon the number of elections we have to run you'll see at the bottom the pie chart for 2015-20162 point 5 million dollars in reserve for the department to utilize to find a replacement for the warehouse it is near 18 view park our warehouse space is part of park that the giant want to undertake the port is our lease
1:53 pm
is at the end of the year but we can hold over until 2016 and than after that move to another site we've not been able to find another site the core has indicated a chance to move to pier 31 but that site needs to have rehabilitation on the roof a timing issue now not a replacement to move with the $2.5 million in reserve we hope to have by the time 2017 arrives in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 we're able to main maintain an operation he did costs are increasing so the course of funding the major driver of changes the number of elections as you can see in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017
1:54 pm
the proposition of revenues are coming equally from fees and files fatiguing 2014-2015 the ratios were offset or skewed a little bit we had so many arguments submitted it's the highest in the history in the revenue recoveries the driver of change is again the number of district for special elections as you can see 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 the ratios are constant but 2015-2016 normally we wouldn't have the district elections but for the you mean elections we'll hold the vacancy election for the community college district and other elections will be barred as far as special elections are concerned language assess we have 3 i guess initiatives the language
1:55 pm
assess filipino since before the november 2018 and dedicated phone lines we've brought on staff for bilingual filipinos to answer to do translations upper market updating the lines and routinely excluding filipino to make sure the english is more clear and the spanish and inclines translations are clear we'll review our forms and communications with the voters one change that's going to happen that will impact the voters more directly in november we move from triangle to bilingual ballots so in the past we'll have english challenges and spanish on the ballot but with the inclusion of filipino we can't run an election we have
1:56 pm
too many cards we're going to break up the cards chinese english chinese english and chinese filipino we've begun the process of reaching out to voters that were burn born in chinese and spanish and other countries to get the capture for the election materials sent to them other than english and in july beginning in august we have signage in 2 hundred and 50 buses to have the voters impact us for language other than english for the election materials. >> on the open data side those are before the november 2014 elections to provide the
1:57 pm
information on the website in relations to the open data their machine readable that allows the media campaigns and analysts and other folks to grab the information not to translate it but post it on their sites and incorporate it into their products we'll continue in november and start pushing out information warldz to nomination and petitions starting in jill one big achievement for november the posting of a voter guide for in a format starting in july starting to post the link data sf to the files so in november we'll link the x m l voter guide
1:58 pm
and again that creates more transparency to make the information more readily available to the users and the initiative forward today the contract for the current voting system expires at the end of 2016 nothing in the 2016-2017 buttering regarding the system costs there are factors that don't allow us to put a precincttion but in the middle of july we'll issue an rfp at that time for the submission we'll have a sense of what the costs are associated with the new system then finally the department is in agreement with the budget analyst represents like to take this time to thank the mayor's office and the board of supervisors to help us to get our budgets sheltered i'll take
1:59 pm

2:00 pm
canvas for material prepared for the coworkers to take to the polling places and we have the prors center the ballots come back to the warehouse and the roster and things like that to be accounted for for balance. >> okay. thank you and i just hope that you'll be able to work out a one solution. >> thank you thank you supervisor yee. >> thank you. i was looking at the pie chart for expenditures and it struck me that for in comparison for the 2014-2015 what the 2016-2017 the salary goes up a little bit by 5 percentage so two questions there
