3:43 pm
35 hundred units of public housing we are continuing our asset martin luther king it is over $21,000 housing we have come mentioned predevelopment on at 45 hundred units, we introduced neighborhood preference legislation to help existing san franciscans obscure avenue in the neighborhood in which we live and we work with other stakeholders introduced legislation for a housing bond in november of $300 million we will continue in 2015-2016 to bring all this work to fruition to get more affordable units on line and continue our transformation of public housing and will begin a new recycle to

3:45 pm
now our staff i will say is at capacity we're working extremely hard to move the rental demonstration program forward this is very difficult to a staffing effort it is relating short time starting phase one in october and once construction this is relieved to our staff we have phase two starting off that but in construction on phase two in 2016 and once that construction starts our staff will have more room to bring the bond funded projects to predevelopment. >> so would the staff attendance to the bond measure this is so you have potential bond staffing capacity and in terms of project management the neighborhood preference legislation does acknowledge
3:46 pm
that there will be a need for additional staffing and one new staff in 2016 but the timing of our rad commemorate should line up acquit nicely. >> thank you. >> supervisor mar. >> i had another question to kate howard just a clarification on the office of strategy partnerships it looked like we created last year through grant and general fund money and in this coming year a director position continues 50/50 with general fund and grant funds the positions are taken on is there a reason why not packaging grant funded. >> thank you for the question supervisor mar so the office of strategy partnerships the director position is continuing as the
3:47 pm
bftd report have funded by local foundation and have funded by the general fund the other two positions were added related to a grant that the city received from the irvine to exposure paper success strategies that is basically performance based working with social issues it maybe called social impact fund that grant funding. >>was one time in nature and is now expiring what we're proposing in the mayors budget to things one to continue a position focusing on pay for success and strategy finance issues this is a position that focuses on affordable housing accelerate fund to leverage the
3:48 pm
private gallon and working 0 on paper success the second position it really proposed as a enhancement to our hope sf program one of the things we've discovered is that one of the greatest challenges facing the hope sf initiative is data sharing between agencies and departments about the people who are residents in our hope sf sites so many of them the individuals that live in public housing are involved in many of the city's assistants ref health care and maybe childcare or maybe involved or a family member on the joyfully justice or probation system and the data saoirse is not consistent so this position will be added in
3:49 pm
order to improve that data sharing and doing more things on effecting the program >> thank you for that i'm reading through the budget analyst report so the open data report analyze we passed two years ago is transitioning grant funded positions to the city general funds so it is another couple of positions that are general funded that had been privately supported before; is that right. >> that's a little bit different the open data are two positions that one is essentially mandated as part of open data ordinance adapted by the board in 2014 the second an additional we the mayor's office added because the consent of implementing the open data ordinance as described you'll remember the open data ordinance really 6 key goals
3:50 pm
related to increasing the number and timelyness the usability of data and improving the consistentcy and being able the confidentiality and in policymaking and decision makings supporting every department is required to have an open data correspond so the team of two has to have that and such the housing portal when the city adopted the ordinance recommended to open data the mayor's office moved afford with implementation so the addition of those two positions to correct for that their flaunted
3:51 pm
a work or the are order with the department of technology. >> i misread the budget analyst report that mixed up the grandfathered position with the new data positions i understand now thank you. >> thank you, ms. howard. >> just to confirm we're working on not in full agreement. >> we're in agreement with the cut recommendations proposed by the budget analyst, the policy recommendations we would not support. >> okay. we'll defer those items next week. >> you can take action on the budget analyst represents. >> mr. rose our report. >> yes. mr. chair and members of the committee incidentally we recommend the proposal that you called mr. chairman for the
3:52 pm
record on page 86 of our report our recommended reductions in the proposed is hundred thousand reduction 2016 a one-time savings an increase of $16.6 million in the 2015-2016 budget and in addition, we include $2 million plus in a policy recommendations ongoing savings and 2016-2017 our recommendation include policy recommendations of $2 million plus all of which are owning savings my understanding the department enclosures were you our hundred million dollars recommend restriction in 2015-2016 and the balance they disagree are the policy recommendations not straight recommended kits pointed out to you for policy consideration. >> thank you very much mr. rose. >> supervisor yee.
3:53 pm

3:54 pm
grants and housing opportunities for persons with aids funding for the 2015-2016 the department will a full with policies historically the city's policy is when grant funds are reduced or limited that the city general fund is not picking up the iron cross we call out to the committee that kind of committee recommendation and if the committee wanted to backfill it that's the committees prerogative we feel it is important to tell you that items which were previously non-general funded items are now proposed to the general fund that's why we've not stated as a plain cut like the hundred thousand dollars other policy recommendation on
3:55 pm
page 88 actually, two of them there's two new positions that are being requested as interim hired by the mayor's office in 2015 with an ordinance establishing that kate howard explained establishing the city's policies and procedures an april 16th him, however not gotten the budget approval for that prior to filling the positions and now requesting authorization to add those positions into their budget as an annual additional total general fund cost of $306,000 plus furthermore the open data policy called for the mayor to appoint a chief data office in
3:56 pm
the mayoral staff 14 position, however not adding two general positions i believe that many howard believes the mayors buildings they need those additional positions again, we present this as a policy not a straight cut and finally the last policy recommendations on the mayor's office from the strategy aspirins in 2015-2016 to direct did position by this general fund in 50 percent foundation grants which is proposed to continue in 2015-2016 in addition two new positions were financed for the pay for success in 2014-2015, however the grant funding will expire after the first quarter of 2015-2016 and proposed position will be reassigned to the mayors finance department with an
3:57 pm
expense of hundred and $85,000 again, a development required our attendance we didn't make a straight cut but presented this to the board of supervisors for your consideration. >> thank you, mr. rose. >> and just want to add especially to open data we approved it it unanimously i know those position are needed for the vision 90 in san francisco to make our government and data more transparent so colleagues, we have a few items first of all item number 11 first to opening it up for public comment anyone wish to comment seeing none, public comment is closed. >> so colleagues as the last item lloyd i'd like to entertain a motion and i make a motion to send it to the full board with a positive recommendation. can i have a motion. >> motion and supervisor tang and seconded by commissioner
