want to go over if i might kind of where we stand in terms of the department budget and our proposal for next year changes to the budget first, i want to highlight - some of the recent changes in the department recent mruchlt we think for the year and how wore moderating with the upper market year we are at apace of creating substantial improving our process of 10 percent a month in the last 9 months we've reviewed 10 percent more case and permit reviews each months for the last 9 months keeping with the unprecedent volumes trying to gut u cut back into the wagon we've established a project

review team last fiscal year in addition to the program countering it letting led to a six months backlog and that the disproportionment effect on small businesses so we established a smart business team that supports 3 hundred of the projects out of the cue and looked at it those separately that require public hearing at the planning commission to substantially increase the volume reapprove and continue to grow that project i know that supervisor tang you're interested in the small business aspect we're working with oewd as out of heard on the new position we're funding that position to mash or make sure that happens and that position the work of the small projects team will help we have what we call related to the small businesses a community

proprietor progressing program those long names and those projects that can be done simply with fairly minimum amateur of staff time but require the approval the commission we've reduced the agenda and building that helps expedite those permits for the small businesses as well we're helping approving our community planning through ceqa a process in the plan area where projects did a streamline review through ceqa we our goal to get that process done to 4 months from 8 most we're countering halfway there and progressing the mayors directive on housing for the housing crisis everything under affordable housing sites to staffing to

policies and procedures that streamlines the projects and looking at to legal supplies illegal dwelling units where they can be legalized and obamacare on other microcosms on the short-term rental i know this is near and dear to my heart the late numbers we have 6 hundred plus applications and approves 4 hundred and 25 of those denied 23 of those and reviewing 25 to thirty no about 80 as of right now numbers are slowly going up but the applications the rate is dropping we have a large number unfortunately of no shows when people make appointments a quarter of them they do shut up but we are having that issue and

we went live with the new online scheduling system people don't have to call to make appointments can make appointments online on the restoration we've looked at the goldberg and the swedish-american on the street and other nominees that are currently in the cue and finally last year the department went live with the permitting tracking system a system we've been working on with dbi went live in october represented i didn't want systems between dbi and their finalizing their should be live in a couple of months wore pleased that can move forward. >> so in terms of case and permit cases are the projects that require a higher level the review and the permits are the

permits we refugee have to say we're seeing an unpersistent number of projects this is the most promotions we've seen in the history of the department this is growing another a rate since world war ii we're trying to keep with the growth this is forcing us and urging us into a higher major critical policy issues affordable housing and transportation and short-term rental the office allocation dealing with the general plan updates and the pdr uses and those are policy issues driven by the growth in the city we're focusing and you'll see on the budget proposal altercation on the major policy issues as we move forward it is no secret this type of growth in san francisco is happening national

in the urban centers we're seeing it because of the growth of the technology destroy driven by the 3.4 percent unemployment rate in terms of our volume and staffing trends in the past fiscal year it has increased by 40 percent our staffing has kept pace the 78 hundred preliminaries for the next fiscal year and another 6 thousand planning cases and as you can see the change in the staffing levels as a result we anticipate by next fiscal year we'll be at 2 hundred and 20 ftes to keep up with the pace of growth on the revenue does the vast majority of revenues from the fees from time development for our charge of services an

increase from 4 two to $47 million over the last fiscal year we have a grants budget that is dropping primarily due to one time grants that have been expend we have a small amount of administrative fees our recovery from other departments and the general fund that is down to the lowest level in the department our general fund represents about 5 and a half percent of departments budget it is the lowest level it's ever been and we'll continue to monitor from the you mean projections we're going to stay here for a while on the expenditure side 2/3rd's is salary in fringe we have a number of non-special xchz that computed dig tiger's our files we have files paper

files going back decades and we have a number of professional service contracts to support our planning initiative like the central selma and transportation and so on the waterfront works and number of italy services and licenses we would like to pursue and a number of materials and supplies and capital equipment to invest in and also like i said trike 80 like to digitize where we review the plans electronically that will greatly make a more efficient review process in the future years. >> so just quickly looking at the position changes we're proposing as you can see on this chart looking to add a couple of positions in the current planning one position current planning recommended to architecture and design review

we're proposing a position for a citywide historic survey to continue the process of reviewing the cyber city and we're looking to add a number of positions in the citywide few minutes ago including a master plan around the civic center and proposing two community specialist positions that work with neighborhood organizations office of the city administrator on issues not related to neighborhood planning but on strategic efforts like the mission 20/20 plans and we're proposing an additional of a deputy director for the citywide planning to focus on policy and support that position as well we also proposing 4 positions in environmental planning again where the largest backlog in the

environmental planning and proposing positions for in take for continued project on staff support and also proposing a position that will be funded by mta that does the super review the matt projects and exclusively devote to side the mta projects. >> finally looking to do a more direct supervision on the committee the multi agency committee we staff that look at the compleez generated from neighborhood plans and we are looking to do a direct supervision over the finance those fees are raising and there the administrative side of the impact fees finally called into the record a minor change to the fee that will eliminate two small fees we have today it will eliminate the

fee for installment agreement the project manager can pay their fees over time and eliminate a fee for refunds we charge a fee to pay them back we're eliminating that fee as well and finally thank you to the budget analyst we've received the report last week and we haven't had a chance to discuss that but will be discussing that this week. >> thank you director ram. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you can you say a little bit more about your increase in staffing for the proposed budget versus the volume of work. >> because the volume of work your projecting not really increasing but you're asking for

i guess about 15 more staff members. >> right that's right it is directly co-recommending to the staffing i guess i lost over this chart glossed over this chart we're anticipating we're being conservative with the projections that the volume will stay at the high-level over the next two to three years we don't anticipate that will increase in vacuum but anticipate it will stay at the high-level we're trying to catch up as well as the work with the major policy efforts from affordable housing the pdr to transportation and so on. >> so, so i guess in converse

the staffing you have this year is inadequate and i'm sorry. >> the staffing for this fiscal year is inadequate. >> it takes us awhile to catch up with the volume so, yes those are it is almost entirely fund through the vice president fees through the general fund. >> thank you. >> okay colleagues any further questions mr. rose can we go to our report on planning please. yes classroom and members of the committee on the items we consider that to be a policy matter for the board and on the budget on page 71 our recommended budget total 563919 of that amount 250s plus are ongoing savings those reductions will allow an increase of one million dollars plus or 5 that
