to date turning to our budget two revenue sources spectaculars that the majority those are collected by the permitting issuing dependent on the permit renewable those reflect the amount of work the controller did an analysis of the speak surcharge rate up to the level of inflation but any adjustment beyond is - up $0.50 from 6 vod that's the only rate adjusted and no proposal to adjust any of the rates by legislation i'll note that is the first time that the public works rate has been adjusted since 2012 the of the of the budget is from people
4:31 am
that file and we're not proposing any changes as far as our expenditures we're looking at moderate changes a 3.7 percent decrease in the 2016 budget learning resulting from the reduction in rent and the reductions you've spoken about the city-state retiree expenses in 2017 we're looking a 2 percent increase over $18,000 tied to may or may not surcharges and i'm sorry in salaries and fringe benefits we do expect our surcharges will coffer that but we have a reserve fund available to us we've been collecting over the last few years if we of the you been ours another a shortfall we can coffer that we're not proposing any changes to the staff and the rest of the
4:32 am
packages of my presentation has to do with detail budget detail i'll note in the expenditure side i've given you information about where our money goes 48 percent to salaries and fringe benefits and the next to other departments the attorney and our sfgovtv for our board meetings. >> this is our organizational chart straightforward and the next two our surcharge rate and salary fee that concludes my presentation. i'll be happy to answer any questions and i'm would appreciate our support for our proposal. >> thank you very much colleagues, any questions no budget analyst report thank you up next to our rent board.
4:33 am
>> honorable chair and supervisors the executive director of the san francisco rent board and this is my incredible deputy robert collins i usually come before you saying i want to be the lease of your problems but the affordability crisis is making that increasing difficult mission of accident rent board your undoubtedly aware at this point the it was for the housing crisis g guess what it is 2015 this informs against excess rent
4:34 am
increases the operative is to protect tenants in place obviously, no tenants not a lot we can do about that and try to keep tenants from unlawful evictions how do we try to achieve those loft i didn't goals the major fund t is counseling we have one of the highest visited websites in the city and our office is an informational repository the counsels serve thousands of people on the phone and over the counter we're arbitrate disputes we have 12 attorneys that conduct the legislative hearings everyday in our office we strive to be fair and in the
4:35 am
enforcement of the ordinance and committed to evenhanded treatment if you're a land i want you to feel i got a fair shake the next slide talks about the statistics this is no surprise our work loads as increased last year a 14 percent change in petition filing and last year an addresses 15 percent we're processing 32 percent more petitions then two years ago at this time as a result last year at this time i came before you and were gracious to give me an additional law position and counselor this year i'm asking for an administrative in fact, position because as you can see in the next slide the perspective changes we can't keep up with providing accurate and timely
4:36 am
information to the public we're doing harm and not like we're decreases and the idea do no harm but as you were hearing in addition now that filipino is added to the may or may not languages we will need to be translating our informational information on this data i want to bring your attention is the buy out bottom category as you recall a piece of legislation sponsored by supervisor campos regulating the buy outs took us to march 7 of this year unfortunately i submitted my budget to the mayor's office and no way to see how many agreements needed to be
4:37 am
processes but it was under the radar and not captured in the city since march 7 we have processed hundred and 28 landowner disclosures of tenants rights and 28 executed but out agreements new cases in the last 3 months that is killing us the next slide shows you the amateur of legislation i didn't want to look like i was piling on i took out six pieces that had an impact every single one of those proposals requires something if our officer it might be as simple as a database search or might require actual administrative hearing but every single one requires my staff educating themselves and be able
4:38 am
to understand the new allowing laws to accurately inform the public i'd like to call your attention to a couple of them that require a tremendous amount of work the buy out agreements and doing the transition agreements for treasure island from people to yerba buena and tdr not happy about the unit and there are no xhashld units we'll be doing those hearings and doing a hearing for the housing authority tenants there the hope renovation our staff is capable of doing the hearings but, of course more work so what did it mean in terms of the impact on the budget for the coming years our budget goes up over 3 hundred thousand dollars
4:39 am
that is one additional fte as i said an administrative analyst position helping us with the translations into filipino and take the new legislation and those 13 pieces i've shown you and take the information and update them accordingly because of senior staff we can't keep up impact on the fee implementing the rent board is not a general fund department we're fee supported a fee split by landlord/tenants it is set by the controller's office and unclear at this time if that is because we don't know how much surplus to reduce the amount of the there contrary to might missouri we carry a surplus much to the shock of my husband but
4:40 am
at this point we anticipate lease a one dollar increase it could be more but at the end of the july it is by the controller's office. >> the goals in the initiatives in the you mean year to implement this legislation including providing i didn't want to the public to increase the number of documents transmitted into filipino and streamline our petition processing procedures you in order to process this increased workload i'm afraid we'll be back before you if this workload increases for additional positions because as my friend carmen chu said we can't keep up i'm sure if with had a budget analyst report it would be good. >> supervisor yee.
4:41 am
>> thanks for your presentation i noticed there's you're asking for somewhat modest increase something thousand i'm curious like one is for one full-time person i don't know how much that is, i guess this is another or $85,000 for staff what is hundred thousand dollars for . >> there's an $89,000 that was put into our budget by the mayor's office because there is legislation pending i believe a resolution that was introduced by commissioner christensen to encourage the mayor to implement an eviction early warning system that requires a new database so tenants if they receive two tenants in a building getting two evictions they'll get in
4:42 am
touch with the supervisor and the mayor's office of housing and connect them with resources. >> thanks such. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you. i want to ask about the workload statistics you said the new legislation regarding landlord buying out tenants is arbitrarily in the last if 3 months a huge workload increase i know we allocate that is a budget committee money for community-based organizations with eviction defense and your counseling as well but mined is you can't cancel people on buy outs they're facing a a potential eviction and offered a buy out you can't cancel them. >> we cancel people all the time but can't advocate or
4:43 am
provide legal advice but my council provides information about buy outs and their rights in an unlawful detainer decision every day what we're required to do have a assessable database so tenants can go online and see what is a decendents deal in my neighborhood your what parts of buy out online what is something facing a buy outlook for as you noticed the 25 bye anti agreements what's. >> the neighborhood so the address and the amount of actual money that the tenant received as a result of the buy out. >> they'll know how many people lived in the unit that kind of information. >> i don't believe so. >> supervisor they'll have
4:44 am
access to the buy out the tenants information has been detact but they'll have a copy of the scan buy outs to be included. >> thank you. >> as you can tell robert is the person that posts those. >> colleagues questions or comments. >> up next i know that katherine dodd is here partially been waiting. >> good afternoon katherine dodd decoration of health services i'm accompanied by our cfo and thanking the mayor's o with us on the mayors budget portion of this

4:46 am
saved 54 plus million dollars if you look at the actual membership of the health services system the last 5 years have been remarkable we've increased by over 6 percent or 7 thousand lives 7 thousand lives is the equivalent of 2 large sf so the work of the department increases dramatically you gain members as they retires they're still our members and we're glad for that the issue facing the health services system are number one the increased number of new hires and retirees managing over 2 hundred and 50 thousand paper record files let me stay say- we've implement our
4:47 am
negotiations and the rate increase is 6.1 percent as you recall for last year was negative 2.78 percent we're coming inoblast below what was buckled in the 5 year financial plan and savings $10.3 million we're also facing continued compliance with the affordable health care act which continues to make our work complex and the new federal rates will be 14 plus million dollars and the excise tax in 2018 has a potential liability to the city from $2.6 million to $13 million and depending upon what how the irs rules on a couple of issues we're facing automatic enrollment requirements no 2016
4:48 am
or and that maybe detailed but unlikeable of likely and facing reporting to the irs that we have to collect that year and report on in 2016 you know we'll be updating in march of 2016 and hoping implementing online enrollment excuse me. >> as important as all those administrative thing supporting the well-being in the workplace and last but not least increased transparency and in cost and equality you look at our staffing level we didn't put 2013-2014 in here but in the wing line one of budget person 2 people in 2014-2015 we launched the wing program to 1.15 off the
4:49 am
fte and 2015-2016 we've added an e ap counselor you've heard i believe from kate and the in the mayor's office we've anticipate the number of employees anticipating we anticipating 2-e a staff can't handle that so that is increases you see and the 1.27 is the annualtion of the other position we're not increasing wellness we're alexander one position to do communications about wellness we only have one communication staff we're taking money from the trust and ada communications
4:50 am
position that's on the bottom line and the 2016-2017 budget no new positions in terms of the budget itself administratively the administration budget is larger the annualtion of position positions added for half a year and annual listed wells fargo wellness we're adding an ap position and the enterprise content manager position for the funding is $300,000 one time expenditure and i'd like to remind the committee that hundred and 52 of that is general fund so those are the changes and i'll end by saying that in terms of new initiatives joining the
4:51 am
21st century dig digit tiger's those record is extremely important we've got 4 years in a row it was opportunity by coit in 2015-2016 and we currently have the funding approval and analyzing what solutions and requirements but until we have those solutions and requirements we need to make sure that the whole allocation is retained to manage the benefits for the employees it is gone up since typed on friday documents management is not part of people soft that prohibit the segregation of those reports i have been samples we'll get a call they'll have to get up from the deck pull a file and make a brief entry note on people soft
4:52 am
but certainly not the documentation that is necessary and get up and good back and refile it is good xefr exercise but an inefficient way of documents we're working with the departments to implement people soft two and with that, we'll be rolling out the electronic benefits and it is essential essentially, we digitize those by 2016 so beyond a reasonable doubt the efficiency and accuracy the entrepreneurs system reducing our physical storage requirements we'll have to store a number ever records offsite so h ss respects the work of the budget analyst we are not to agreement with the
4:53 am

a half million dollars that primarily due to citywide programs housing we have these - we're the home department they'll be working in a variety of departments and bias training we've heard about that from teresa sparks to work on a program to expand the pilot for the bias train throughout the city with the workforce development staff developing a content for an ongoing basis to build that into the training of the city that's an existing improvement and as an employer wanted to insure we don't have explicit bias effecting people at work and services to the public another change in the budget the addition of the
4:57 am
position on paid parental leave that supervisor tang put forward that will improve and clarify some of the existing protections for city employees but a confusing patchwork of laws we found that city completed have a difficult time understanding their rights in describing what their rights are we have a new position dedicated to education in the department an individual will depth the program and consulting one-on-one about the rights the employees have and we're excited about that arrest a significant cost contemplation the later element is the benefits we pay out in workers' compensation we self-insured so $51 million in the budget we
4:58 am
have for workers compensation due to a few things the state has increased permanent disability in the order of 51 percent seeing the impacts on the workers' compensation and rupture to work spl spill paid program that adds to our budget so we're continuing to manage it those are costs that cannot be avoided one of the alleged positions are actually punt opportunity by positions in or contract we have a third party contractors this handles the claims for the city we believe that our staff will be more efficient in handling some of the claims we have 19 departments 4 new positions only by reductions in the payment that we paid to the third party
