high-level points from the status report overall we're projecting an ending fund under $400 million that is an, an improvement from the last projection of $73 million most of that in the form of better than expected prashg revenue and revenue and salesforce from the department of health as well as the human services agency we're not at this time project by project a positive to the rainey day reserve but an economic 5.9 percent at the end of the year with a start of 10 percent i'll highlight 3 welcome questions on any of them property tax above budget for the same reasons we talked about the accessory intraoral changes in ownership and construction
12:37 am
weigh collecting the back year taxed on that dramatic decrease in property tax with the assessment board of appeals and reducing what we need to refund for the appeals and other things in prashg about business tax revenue for 2015 strongly in private payroll over 13 percent is contributing to the good news and offset slightly by a shortfall in real property transfer tax that reflects with equal - our projection for the month of may and june so at this $.50 million down from last year but we'll be paying attention to this for the next couple of months and as you may know a portion of that revenue increase is allocated to
12:38 am
the baseline $13 million the department does the change from the last report in public health department the biggest which was in public health department is better than projected mental health revenues in the general fund but also at laguna honda hospital the governor reversed the prior year health care it was retroactive we're looking $50 million improvement. >> excuse me - do you have a handout or anything in the package. >> sorry i have them right
12:39 am
here. >> we're open slide 5 apologizes for the - >> and the second thing i'll mention in terms of departmental projections the salesforce with the human services agency and that's about a $6 million improvement from the last report. >> a quick update on supplementals with the general receivers 5 point plus the million dollars with the and approved the reproposition to fund overtime in 6 departments an overall deposits are down where we projected at the budget
12:40 am
that is mostly due to the declines in tax revenue. >> as we do every time this year we'll, looking at a couple of sensitive revenue resources we get more information that is transfer funds and the business tax and supplemental property tax there continues to be a lot of revenue fluctuation with the dph as we mentioned due to the changes in affordable health care act it includes the projections for special revenue funds month of which have been going balances at the year-end with the expectation of water and wastewater we're dlooib in water sales are not keeping pace with the expenditures so overall the balances are dmrooin in that
12:41 am
entries i would just note from the this point until june one and during the budget deliberations we will looking at as you may know some of the key revenue sources hi voluntary i would from tax revenue from the good or bad 50 to 55 percent offset by decreases or increases to the destable reserve that is due to the volatility and we'll be providing projections to the mayor on june one i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> and thanks virtuosa question just so we're clear about that maybe i don't see a slide on it an updated after the 9 months with the deficit going into deficit is that note called

12:44 am
define the services be performed cost effectively with contractors rather than city staff this is prop j what you the item before you are reoccurring prop j that are grand for many years at the departments over the next couple of weeks so parking operators and shuttle buses and other airport transportation and transit at the mta and security janitorial services at the port you can certainly talk about them as the departments come up and typically new authorized 0 prop j has been of more interest and contentious but this is continuing services that have been contracted for many years. >> okay. thank you mr. rosenfeld colleagues, any questions on item 7?
12:45 am
okay by the way, we'll save public comment until the end so with that, we're to go start with our very well hearings and we have 13 today so why want get going we'll start off with the unified school district i believe either mr. rosenfeld or the unified school district was one of each i believe if you're not ready we can certainly move to a different one >> yes. good morning a very small appropriation from the city's budget in the unified school district and this is for the county of office of education every county has a county of education provides technical support for the district this is the county of san francisco support it is unchanged to many years. >> thank you very much any questions colleagues
12:46 am
okay. next up the board of appeals ms. goldstein is here. >> if any other department heads have handout distribute them in the that would be great. >> okay. you should have my handout i hope. >> chair farrell and members i'm cynthia goldstein the board's executive director. of the board of appeals united states of america the board is the city's final arbiter of disputes issued by a wide range of other departments we are our mission so to create an
12:47 am
impartial forum those disputes maybe resolved i'm trying to get it up give me a second. >> what i'd like to take a quick minute to update you on the both sides experience and give you the budget proposal for the next two years on page 3 of the handout the volume over the past 10 years our projection we will come up 29 percent higher than the average our increase in appeals a 3 clusters of appeals not receiving poisons in group but 35 by the promotion you might be unanimous a familiar with that protesting the signs and we have appraisals for the tree removal and park merced and next month 09 filed by the
12:48 am
academy of art with the notice of violation by the zoning administrator. so if we took out the 3 groups of appeals we'll see a volume that is similar to our regular experiences the next slide will show you a picture where the boils come from as typical the majority of the cases from land use issued by the planning department and the department of building inspection and the zoning administrator that represents about 76 percent of the appeals we've heard year to date and the next largest group those from public works will half of which were tree removal and the other a variety of other donations or decisions that public works with the food facilities and wireless site permits one thing that is interesting of the building permit that were appealed 17 percent have been related to land or tenant disputes with the
12:49 am
removal of unit that is the same as last year but definitely higher than we normally see and turning to the budget there are two source of revenue 5 percent from fees a paid by people that come to our office to file appeals 95 of the budget comes from surcharges by the departments that issue the matters that are appealed and the rates of those surcharges are tournament to the work every year the controller's office does an naturals to see what the rates need to be adjusted that can be done up at dbi but anything else needs to be brought to you with legislation as far as the expenditure for that elaboration the next couple of years small increases 4. 6 percent $42,000 in the first year and under 16 thousand in
12:50 am
the second all 9 increases are outside of our control and associated with things that are mandatory increases like salaries and refrigeration benefits our rent and the share of upgrading the financial system and chair farrell i know you're interested in the overtime we're looking at the small there in that line item because the increase no salaries and fringe we use overtime to pay for people like myself and board members and historically flooift that so we expect that our revenue from surcharges will cover the increases we don't on intersections there is a need to generate the income in the last 3 years we've had surplus and projection a surplusthe coming years and collecting that
12:51 am
in a receivers funding found we have a shortfall we'll place the cap to get the money and go to the general fund that's basically my presentation the rest are the detail on the budget and he filing of those and the surcharge rates i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> otherwise i hope you'll favorably consider the boards budget. >> thank you very much for your presentation he do appreciate it colleagues, any questions for board of appeals? okay. thank you for being here up next our law library >> is here. >> good morning, supervisors nice to see you again. >> morning. >> you know your budget is pretty small so save you time i've prepared some audible
12:52 am
visual but here to answer your questions our budget is unchanged the law library serves everybody from legal professionals to the public and our satisfaction rate is over 97 percent, the law library is open 52 and a half hours a week with the ftes we are an access to justice provider and our services are free to all san franciscans this is something i know that supervisor tang is interested ♪ 2015 served over 22 thousand people with requests in the number of requests it used our library we have increased our legal database transactions thirty percent in 2015 and the most comprehensive selection of free online databases in the
12:53 am
area and some of the programs we have you're familiar with we provide seminars to the public and legal professionals, we have document delivery services, and provide reference help and our library is free so anybody have any questions >> thoroughly to the call of the chair i wanted to find how the relocation. >> first of all, great to be in a place we'll not get squashed with an earthquake great to have windows and the facility is nice good reception which is wonderful there is adequate space for the first time in 20 years. so overall we're quite pleased >> has it helped or you know made things worse in terms of
12:54 am
the number of people inviting the law library since your relocation there are changes in the way that people use our services for example, a lot of what we do happens to be e-mail references so a firm will call and say we need assistance with the various items how can you help us with the references we respond we still are very busy resource in the library for unrepresented people people that are looking at something a product for their family wear a major source so far small businesses because the databases are horrendously extensive of expensive we're engaged in more and more reach research with purposes are other
12:55 am
institutions like the institution of san francisco and working with the public library and we are continuing looking to expand. >> sounds like there might be a shift in terms of people not needing it as much. >> right the way the library in the world has a lot of electronic components to it. >> thank you okay. thank you very much colleagues, any further questions much appreciated up next your rent board. >> do we have mr. colin's oh, there we go. >> i on intersections you have at hounlts. >> one second here -
12:56 am
>> all right. good morning supervisors chair i'm robert colin's acting director with the rent board i'll be present an high-level overall of the departments proposed budget we are the services we offer in the mission and some of the challenges we have in front of us the mission of san francisco rent board as enacted by the board of supervisors in 1979 is
12:57 am
so skinhead the tenants to make sure the landlord are fair with the guidelines the ordinance protects tenants from unjust evacuees to help to serve the cultural deficit in san francisco the rent board can be grouped into two areas we offer public information that is what months the public gets to interact with our front counter and the screening of the advisory committee so that's our public information side and then the other side the administrative hearing and appeals those are the administrative law objectives mediations, traditions and sometimes to render the decision on rent
12:58 am
board related matters i just want to highlight the rent board is dedicated to the fair and a newly of the enforcement of the rent ordinance and committed to the evenhanded members landlords and tenants so from the workload you can imagine given the prices in san francisco our workload is increasing quite significantly from a tradition stand point it past fiscal year we're in we projection we will receive 5 percent more petitions than last year so we are expecting to receive 2200 plus by the end of the fiscal year compared to 2 thousand plus last year the last fiscal year when you compare that to the year before with over one thousand a two year
12:59 am
increase of 22 percent in petition filings the eviction notices have not raised to that same level 5 percent and 11 percent but at the bottom of the slide you'll find that the agreements and the durations regarding disclosures of tenant rights prior to the buy out are significant this at law that was operative in march 2015 and we received 38 to one hundred plus declarations we projected this year two buy out agreements and dlaksz regarding that i guessed this is two more significant changes from all the legislative changes the receipt of those dlagsz and buy out agreements it is complicated we need to redact
1:00 am
every single docket before we make that pubically available the seksd part the soft story building this mandate the owners - 50 thousand units and we expect the majority of petition will result in passengers for capital improvement passes through our office and so expect a significant increase in those that's kind of ramping up we expect to be at 4 hundred plus over the next year's to process that capital improvement petitions for the buildings seismically retrofitted looking at the charts over a woefrld status from a site of petitions i want to clarify a petition is something the reddish has to decide the matter
1:01 am
filings are a little bit different a broader he category in the case of rent board jefferson dr. have to conduct the hearings in the petition chart as you can see the increase over the past 6 years is significant every single year so we be backlogged and now we're beginning processing the soft story buildings petition that's where we coming from in the next two slides our total filing over the 3 decades show that we are now studying the total number of filings during the.org part of the reason things are not the same since then we have legislative requirements that you know legislative changes that you have passed that at least our areas where we are functions so that's part of what you're
1:02 am
seeing that includes the something close to one thousand filings this is what without additional filings we're 6 thousand i projection and we're asking in the proposed budget that we hope you'll consider is really is additional staffing so money so far website, some money for technology updates, and we're reilly e really asking for additional staffing to process the petitions and the buy out agreements and delineations update the information with all the legal changes so we're he'll looking at 4 new positions over a two year period with 2 and a half in the first year and 2 and a half the second year you'll see our approved budget last year was
1:03 am
$6.6 million and the current fiscal is $6.9 million the next fiscal year 7.5 from the current budgets and then again, we're proposing 2017-2018 a budget of $8 million with an increase those changes in the budget are reflective of not only the new positions but cola and everything we have you know that we'll all have in our budgets let's go to the department is deservedly fund by the rent board fee apart from 4 thousand bucks in printing costs but the rent board fee is determined by the controller at the end of july the continental half of that for sro units we expect
1:04 am
currently that the controller will find the rent board fees will be $41 ton july 1st and our goals and initiative we're trying to implement legislative chances and update our information you approved an administrative analyst position last year thank you very much we're making use of that person to get the information to the public and update the information that information gets cascaded into additional languages so as always one of the top priorities to be responsive to the community the desire it of the community and track that and produce for documents in more languages we'll do it all at once and translates into you know chinese and spanish and filipino
1:05 am
and then last but not least one of our powder initiatives we're streamlining the position costs of the process at the office in order to process our workload more efficiently in those parts of 4 hundred and 50 new capital improvement petitions we can't do that the way we're doing it today we've gotten approves from the commission to streamline that process to be more efficient and thank you and i'm here for any questions you may have. >> colleagues, any questions. >> i have a quick question thank you for your presentation. >> last years budget was 6 hundred thousand and similar i assume most was used to pay for the 2.67 staff members what was the rest used for . >> well they have the - the
1:06 am
additional staff positions and basically, the general costs increases in cola we use and the other increases that the controllers publish we hire other contributions we make. >> i'm sorry. >> there was one new staff position added last year the rest is through the general increases that we see whether that is mou or fringe and benefit increases. >> i guess what i'll seeing in your report is 2.67 staff members the numbers change so the - on the budget side went up 6 hundred thousand i'm asking
1:07 am
for the revenue that was left after the 2.67 staff what was it used for? >> the current proposed budget adds 2. 67 staff members and it results in a 5 hundred and plus including the staff members an increase of 6 hundred thousand for the year not all due to the staff members some of that increase is due to the mou cost of living i on intersections is that - >> and computer upgrade and website design and that we have in the budget as well all those items together come up
1:08 am
with that. >> thank you. >> thank you, melissa so i'm sorry yeah. we're adding 5 positions one is their staggered one in the first year and one in the second year adding a legal secretary and we're adding a counselor. >> okay. colleagues any further questions thank you for your presentation. >> i'm with the child support

1:19 am
18 percent is a pass through the department of public works through a cigarette litter abatement fee charges on the packages it is listed on our budget and not use for the program i want to calling your attention to the one percent it is an exciting opportunity that one percent of our budget that is from a new fee that is going to be levied on the pharmacy and this is from passing the first pharmaceutical programs in the nation weigh implementing that and the legislation allows the department to recruit the administrative costs we're excited about launching that program and fords the opportunity to come back and tell you how it's going this is the should not in front of the you that talks about our budget
1:20 am
areas i want to point out is fairly flat nature of the budget that last year, we have about 17 before us this year $18 million plus an 8 and a half percent difference in the dissimilar it is made up from the increased of the cigarette fee that was built into the system almost a million dollars of that is from that cigarette fee that passed the department of public works so when you look at the budget the 10 one half percent change because the grant cycles we don't have over time the positions are flat so that is a solidification of the health of our department and how we look forward to continuing to deliver our services i want to end with what i on intersections that is the most exciting aspect of the work i hope you will wholeheartedly

1:24 am
pension reform we've seen since 2010 we have some folks that are still working that are hired prior to 1976 and police and fire and miscellaneous members is where we have folks hired after 1976 they have a one year final copying as part of calculations in 2010, the first wave of pension reform was passed and created a tier for miscellaneous police and fire folks were there was a final copying and a year and a half later we have gotten into through the pension reform the voters approved a final comping for all new hires who were hired avenue
1:25 am
2012 and actually members in all the groups i've given you an actual overall increase in the members by 4 percent you'll see the non-restricted retired members that are mostly the new hires the active employees a 5.2 percent increase and 4 plus increase in the retire force. >> this basically shows you the last 5 years of how the trust has grown how the x liabilities the value of the costs for the promised benefits has grown over the years and show show you the assets as well as the market assets our current funding level as of the actuary evaluation in 2015 we're an, an
1:26 am
actual basis and the market-rate at 88.9 percent fund relative to the peers strong funding for a public pension i - everyone remind the final progression in 2008, and 9 at one point our trust was under $4 billion we're not having the market-rate of the $20.4 billion and during the same period of time we saw the increase in the value of the trust we were paying currently paying over one billion dollars a year in retirement benefits to eligible retirees you'll notice through is sort of an unusual bump in the liability i want to point out that that is primarily based on the decision of retirement board to adapt must mortality
1:27 am
tabs the good news we're living longer than but the bad news we're ref pensions longer as a retirement board has vowed and approved to phase in those new more tilts tables we anticipate we'll see the results. >> sir, i anticipate the actual ratio to go down. >> we're project by project the liability will go faster it depends on the market if we make the 7 and a half percent with your correct we're with the liability status will reduce gradually over the same period of time. >> so you're going to add 7 and a half percent. >> absolutely even if we make the 7 and a half percent the

numbers will trend downward. >> so you do year ended. >> fiscal year. >> what was the fiscal year performance last year as of last year. >> we returned 4 percent last year and the recorded i on intersections at the end of the april we were under one percent return. >> over the last 5 years we annualized the average of 9 perishes returned but we smooth in all the experienced over and over o over 5 years a have 5 years we're phasing in but not meet the 7 and a half percent last year more expect to make this year. >> good news we phased it in the employer contribution from 23 to 21 want 4 percent that begins july 1st of first year
1:29 am

1:39 am
finance manager and procurement manager the first one i'd like to present is the reason the port is in existence and that is to advance our public trust mission our commission and staff dealer to promote navigation and maritime commerce and enhance natural resources and attract people to the waterfront to enjoy and use the bay that is our public trust mandate with our 5 hundred tenants and board of supervisors and the mayor's office and the public we work collaboratively to achieve the public waterfront that is diversifies and calls visitor to work and play much to be proud of we've mrishdz over the years we draw 24 million visitors to
1:40 am
see your waterfront we also work work hard to magazine the port that is sustainable as you've heard from many department heads today we are self-supporting our financial stability is as important to us as our environmental and meeting our public trust mandates the port has been working carefully to balance big needs for capital investment this committee is well aware of needs we have to meet growing demands that budget proposal addresses our growing operating demands with security, environmental stewardship and park maintenance and capital projects in. >> manner that is in a way to continue to invest in capital awhile meeting the demands
1:41 am
you'll see our budget proposal deploys our strategies to keep down our budget with capital positions to invest more in capital as our revenues are strong and really looking to meet our fiscal challenges in the most strategy manner possible to we can identify solutions to serve our waterfront for the public. >> our revenues is strong as i recorded at the last hearing about the port our revenues have growing by 8 point one percent and 2.5 in second year and this is the reflective of the very, very strong economy our tenants are doing well and percent rents are well and the maritime for the crews ships and
1:42 am
the new category opportunities for the port the budget controls operating expenditures their going by one .7 percent and one .5 in second year and we're eyeing the differences between the revenue growth and expenditure growth to invest strongly in capital and as you can see this chart is the net change in budget year of 28 plus million arresting capital is 23.8 millions a capital story a senior budget decline which reflects how many capital sources we have in the current year to invest in the capital year in the budget year. i'd like to note our port function as put in strong policies that guide your organizations a 15 operating refers and 25 percent operating
1:43 am
policy 25 percent of revenues to capital and you can see in this budget trend chart the results of both our fiscal policies as well as very strong economy that chart shows our capital from 2009 to our proposal in 17 and 2018 our policies and good economy are showing very, very good results we invest in capital a tremors upward trend to invest $62 million over two years a lot of this budget addresses life safety and code issues those capital projects together are $6.4 million in stabilization we'll pour into the capital budget and tackles our sizeable backlog of 200 one billion dollars with percentages
1:44 am
to facilitate repairs the bad news if we would need to invest $45 million every year to meet the renewal not to add to the ports backlog so well, we're incredibly pleased to see this we're not there yet i wanted to speak to some of the budget changes we're proposing here our budget does include 7 new ftes operating positions and mr. rose is looking at those closely but positions like up to electricians and gardener and positions to help us with special events more and more of the partnership webinar public time to use the open space with an emergency coordinator and a permit desk position then we have substitutetions and reassignments many of them 14 reassignments two new positions
1:45 am
so support homeland security and 22 project funded positions so we're really using in a two year budget cycle the retirements and changes in the staffing to use the resources we have for the demands we have you'll see a lot of that occurring in the budget in terms of the project funded positions we have continuing the desire to use project funded capitals workloads or work orders we're adding 2 pile crew of 15 and we found over time our crew can do the work more ininexpensive than contracting out with that strategy to meet the capital backlog >> we are very, very pleased to announce that thanks to the mayor's office of budget we had $8 million of fund proposed for
1:46 am
the seawall resilience project at the committee is aware we're going studies to see how the one hundred-year-old seismic project it's time to invest in the critical infrastructure the seawall needs to be shored up in a seismic events with this $8 million we'll begin a two year project to do a lot of engagement and outreach identify the most critical repairs through engineering and analysis and conduct permit and environmental review so then turn to invest in the most critical investments first, as we design is a program for the desire 3 million seawall from fisherman's wharf to mission creek our plan will provide for more resilient future forfeiture generations and provided a
1:47 am
stable and adaptable foundation to address sea level rise we also have undergoing a community planning process inform refresher the 1997 waterfront land use this is a critical process to help us meet the public needs in the most efficient and appropriate way possible given the financial realities of investing in our piers and development at the waterfront given the sea level rise and our 134e6k challenges we are doing this so we be, redo the planning areas and pursue developments in areas not development this slide is to show you our system projects projects in the planning phase and projects under construction and the circled areas are sub
1:48 am
areas planning we're undergoing with the public to decide what the couple of assets not been redeveloped and finally i'd like to note the importance of work we're doing in the southern waterfront we're very well known for being maritime and commercial landlord of the ferry building and the giants ball park, etc. 77 percent of our portfolio is industrial land and maritime land and the port is really possessed to play an important rule in the improvements happening in the southeast community this slide shows the mission rock the giants as well as the pier 70 project mission ferry landing which the port is now in the process of designing and doing community outreach to serve the growing neighborhood the crane cove park
1:49 am
and again begun phase one and pier 80 auto terminal i'd like to note the spiritual and maritime purpose is key an essential in this area we're preserving areas land for maritime commerce and we've signed a deal with pasha they'll begin a role on roll off operation 96 calls estimated per year and 50 longshoremen and other employees at the facility with revenues to the ports but importantly we important jobs for that community and industrial activity so this shows 40 millions of recreation and 3 thousand 5 hundred residential unit and 14 thousand jobs at the commercial sites so the ports is turning the attention to the southern waterfront and growing in areas so we achieve our maritime
1:50 am
industrial purpose as well as develop crucial new residential opportunities, open space and transportation opportunities and ms. wallingized and i are here to answer any questions i'd like to thank you, mr. rose for pouring over our analysis and helping us to achieve the seawall project and other aspects of the project thank you very much. >> thank you colleagues, any questions right now for our port okay. up next our library.

2:07 am
$6 billion again entirely backed by the revenues we sell airport revenue bonds to support the project the largest project the terminal one 24 gates and broadly areas b will finally be demolished, terminal 3 is improved for 3 feet it closed down the terminal building that is the united terminal we will have - start egress is a new hyatt hotel and air training extension building new parking garages with the systems that services that parking garage as well as the existing long term parking garage and all the projects get us to net zero on the new construction going beyond the goal to the net zero
2:08 am
environmental impact we'll see the carbon neutral an important goal to be the first airport in the world to achieve the carbon neutrality and get to zero waste we have ambitious goals in the capital improvement plan and common industry metrics that the costs for in flight the airline for the operation at the airport we're competitive with oakland and san jose they're primarily, llc low cost carries their competitive with those airports our overall numbers are higher the international airlines have more fatalities in the special first class facilities and against the airports nationally we're slightly blow average with the large capital improvement plan we'll be competitive against
2:09 am
major international gateway airports i'm especially proud of internship programs we've put in place 21 years as director saturday from scratch 21 years ago last year, we had one hundred and 34 interns and likely exceed that by june 30th of this year their aimed tarts at-risk and th high school and colleges and graduate students a lot of the our it engineers, architects we hire as interns while their still in college are graduate school also very pleased with our success on local business participation studying the small business goals for contracting well studying the goals very high vessel vertical and small business accommodation in the two and part of success on the

2:11 am
>> how you diagnose supervisors harlan kelly with the san francisco public works for my presentation want to first give a brief high-level briefly of the proprietors for the next two fiscal years of 2017-2018 so before dive into the numbers just want to talk about the high lovely priorities and the first is cleanpowersf we launched the phase one on may 1st and plan to launch the phase two in november 1st and this program has been very successful we have less than one percent opt out so that program is going very well,
2:12 am
however, we need to pay attention because we are continue to launch further phases that is something we're focused on in the next couple of years the next priority in our power side our power enterprise business plan actually completed that is how we plan to grow as a business to actually retain and attract new exercises we're paying attention and the next priority the improvement program we plan to keep that plan on schedule and budget it is a major priority of the department and another capital improvement plan is the water policeman we're completing that program there is two projects that we
2:13 am
are focused on calaveres dam and the recycle project and for those new facilities we are constructed now were integrating them into our water system another proprietor we're addressing our water system has been operating around the clock for nearly a century and as you can see recently we've had a lot of sink holes because of aging infrastructure some date back to 1890 we're focused on trying to replace all the assets not only water and sewer but transmission and street lights and so we're working with the department of public works to try to minimize the impact on construction on the community as well as you know the development of san francisco has been you know increasing and
2:14 am
we're tried to keep up with the construction so we are trying to focus to minimize the time in which the new construction requires the hook up for water and wairmentd the other is that we have been facing the drought in the last couple of years and that is something that is been concern of ours to manage our budget facing this drought so this slide i wanted to show you just to kind of give you a feeling of the challenges we've been facing seconds our retail and wholesale customers over time the amount of water sales have dropped and i on intersections this is a great sign we've been doing effective job in our wholesale
2:15 am
customers and fiscal job of working with our customers to conserve water, in fact, i on intersections we have down too good have a job now has serious implication with water and watering that is one of the challenges we've been facing with that, we've been to manager though the drought is more as you can see despite the decline in revenue we are contained our costs and keeping the increases below the rate of inflation so when you look at our two year budget as i mentioned earlier due to the we had to revisit you all the revenues assumes we went through a 4-year process to look at the timing i gave the direction to all of the
2:16 am
divisions we have to cut costs and the current year cutting the costs to cover the cost of living adjustment and so this budget proposal successfully rebound our operating and capital needs around the lower projection of water sales the lottery increase is sandborn map which is $33.7 million and in fiscal year 2016-2017 and 40 want $2 million in fiscal year 2017-2018 positions we're adding few in the next few years they reflect the staff for new or priority programs such as increasing our renewal of replacement of our water system we've hired more
2:17 am
cruise for replacement of pipe installation and also cleanpowersf we're hiring staff to manage that and hiring staff to work on the new developments so we can hook up their water service in a timely manner and ground water projects for the wells as far as overtime concerns we operate twenty-four hours 7 days is with, with the failing infrastructure we have to have overtime and given the fact that we have been managing our budget we utilize some overtime to try to you know save some costs as far as you know, staff trying to hire people timely so that is something we'll focus on hiring people in a timely manner so we can look
2:18 am
at reducing the overtime. >> so our commission every year adapts a 10 year financial plan and this is the visibility into a long-term investment as well as a rate impacts and charges and so when you look at the 10 year capital improvement plan it is close to $8 billion amongst all the enterprises and so you look at our two year capital budget it is $1.6 billion that is the first two years of the 10 year budget and one point one billion dollars on wastewater that is in the sewer system program so as you may know one the challenges to balance how do we invest in critical
2:19 am
infrastructure and maintain the rate car for affordability so this slide shows how we projection the rate changes transmitted into the monthly bills the yellow area it what is approved the annual rates through 2018 so for example, if you look at the middle of the yellow section you'll see that the average combined bill is 86 delores 0 when you look it over the years because of water conservatism has offset the water increases we were anticipating a certain volume of water hoping to sell but that volume has decreased the rate increases have gone up the rate increases has declined this is a one of the challenges so with that, i wanted to conclude any presentation and if
2:20 am
you have any questions let me know. >> thank you very much mr. kelly colleagues, any questions he know that is puc one of the bigger budgets want to make sure we ask any high-level questions at this point. >> okay. thank you very much last but not least director reiskin from our mta. >> morning chair farrell and members of the board i'm director reiskin the director of transportation i don't know if so it good or bad to be last standing between you and our lunch glad i got
2:21 am
this opportunity but actually kind of expressive to see this strict of my colleagues other department head come through and have a strong team on the enterprise departmental as a on the general fund side. >> we can start a rivalry. >> we're one big happy family honored to be in the train of presentations we're looking for concise i was here in march with a purview from the mta board that is times adopted by the mta board this is not a whole lot different kind of highlight as we go through the overview to remind you and the public or some of the scope of what we're responsible for with the voters entrust to us when we created
2:22 am
the agency in the initiative in 1999 some of the numbers and the vision and goal of this 6 year strategic plan adapted in 2012 this is the plan that was meant to cover 3 cycles this is the last cycle so during the fiscal cycle the strategy planning for the next fiscal cycles the proprietors of the agency are the proprietors for the budget those are them here with the streets safer for people we've been one of the leads for the city and vision zero and both within the transit system and the rest of the transportation system safety is a top priorities making sure that the transportation system is fair and equitable and all the more important given the
2:23 am
cost of living challenges that are facing san franciscans to doing everything we can to make the transportation portion of people's household budget as anythingable as possible with the free muni or sdoubt and the free transportation authority commission and working hard through the investments and pass and presents years as well as this one by the upgrading of our fleets by upgrading our infrastructure which we're also investing in heavily sometimes disruption on the streets but the investment critically important like our systems around the country have pretty significant repair needs we're working hard to make those construction investments so the infrastructure will be more sustainable and support a system that is more reliable we're working hard to make sure
2:24 am
our streets are moving a challenge given this in san francisco we're all seeing and feeling the congestion to throw our management of parking and traffic and the muni service trying to make sure that people get where they need to go and doing all this awhile planning and building for the future the growth is not speculative but worry about that what we fled to do to support the future those are the priorities that were behind the development of our budget jump to the changes outside of the indexing of fairs and fines with the mta board policy that happens each of the two fiscal years some we did above and beyond indexing on the revenue does the first one is the change the definition of
2:25 am
youth which determines the discount you get on muni currently is for people ages 4 to 17 the mta approved 5 to 18 many 18 years old are still in high school and their 17 or turn 18 in high school and permeated across the regional agencies that expends the gingsz e definition of youth a negative impact the board felt it was important and appropriate to make those adjustments the next one is changing the amount by which we discount the fairs people with disabilities and youth as you may know we are now providing free muni service to people in into categories of low and moderate income this change impacts those of not low
2:26 am
income that are currently not brendon e bringing from the two-thirds sdounlt they'll get a 50 percent discount and it is consistent we're shifting from discounts that are based on age to discounts that are based on need so this is kind of a follow-up to the free muni program the next one is generated from the interest of the discussion was establishing a differential in single contributor ride fairs between payments made in cash or with the limited use tickets out of the ticket vending machines to the clrp or mobile apps this is the best practices amongst the travel agencies to move cash out of the system move people bone the more than flexible modes of payment that reduce our burden on the cash management
2:27 am
speeds up and improves side restrict e reliability the second to the last one the fast discount below. >> going back the discount for clipper and muni mobile how do you come up with the $0.25 fee i agree with the concept $0.25 might be a little bit higher than than using the clipper card. >> through the chair i have slides i can suspend more time but the investing policy rent-controlled housing our fairs to the nearest $0.25 you don't want to people fundamentally for dimes and quarters that is the next increment from the current fair is a quarter is not much
2:28 am
conceives i know that ac transit they went to a $0.10 fair differential but we've been incremental by one quarter we want to stay consistent our goal to make sure that people have the opportunity to not have to pay the extra $0.25 by using a clipper card that is beyond the one hundred thousand people in san francisco who are now paying nothing because the free muni program or in 50 percent discount. >> maybe we can follow-up later on i'll be curious to see the back up data how many people are still paying the cash fairs versus the people using clipper cards. >> it is 14 person that are using the cash or limited ticket. >> that's helpful. >> two different kinds of fast
2:29 am
passes and the muni a pass right now there is about a 10 there's differential between the passes given the i guess more significant value that the a pass for example, from balboa park to embarcadero station on bart is a significantly faster trip than on muni we felt that the demand supported a higher costs for the a pass so the board approved increasing that both the index volume and then finally in the other direction consistent with the 50 percent discount we provide for protecting adults we cumber provides tokens and passes to human services agency and other nonprofits organizations that or serving protecting residents we call the roll provide those at full fair
2:30 am
with that promoted change providing them with a 50 percent discount as we do for protecting adults purchase their fares directly from us so those are the fair change revenue changes the other revenue changes you're familiar with the reduction in tow fees roughly 2 and a half million dollars in the budgets that was approved in advance the budget and incorporated into the budget and finally the board asked us to explore places or times in the city that require parking that will benefit from parking management but not have is that exactly means i don't know we have essentially a place holder in the second year of the budget working though the community process to identify where we can expand parking management and in a way that
2:31 am
benefits the transportation system but to do so with community support that is a place holder number those are the revenue hangs in the budgets on the expenditure side we didn't have a whole lost room to play with with our baseline we start out $15 million of expenditures and revenues with the contraptions plus those revenue changes we ended up with $10 million operating excess of revenues over expenditures that we had to play with over a billion dollars budget not a whole lot we tried to be strategy and invest in areas that we identified specific gaps such as safety and maintenance activities within transit we invested a lot actually in transit and microscopes over the
2:32 am
last couple fiscal cycles with the sustainable streets that manage the paints and signs and signals on the streets through our vision zero efforts and others capital improvements we've put a lot of the infrastructure on the streets it is the maintenance and upkeep of that infrastructure the caltrain operation we pay the san francisco county share of the 3 county operating contributions that the members make every year it is set by formula to allocate the expenses across the 3 counties and that amount has gown up a little bit this year we're investing increased amount in the safety division new federal transit administration regulations coming out of the government it requires us and other other
2:33 am
federal grants to implement a safety management system that will require resources on our side i on intersections that is will be a good they know but requires resources we don't have today. other than other investments and tax investigation and support of our muni system and funds for outreach we hear from you >> all is something we need to invest and a couple of h.r. analyze we can hire all the rest of the folks. >> the other part of our expenditure story on the operating does it is the use of funds balance we have a policy the sfmta board established we maintain a fund balance eventual to 10 percent of our operating budget one point one billion dollars is a
2:34 am
fund balance of one and $10 million because the strong revenue growth from the general fund from prop b as well as from fairs, from parking meters and garage revenues our fund balance has grown to over $200 million more than double what the mta board requires we keep in refers owe propose we exhaustive the expenditure wouldn't bring us down to the 10 percent but to address a one time safety or efficiency needs we were not able to meet in the capital budget some of it is back up house things equipment that makes our work for efficient and things on the street more transit appropriate on our rail lines which is critically
2:35 am
important way of one time expenditure that we can improve the reliability of muni and other miscellaneous things including $2 million for vision zero education and outreach something that has been kind of short of funding amongst the easy of vision zero that you've been hearing about through the tenant/landlord those are all one time expenditures they're not ftes associated with them for the most part just responsible ways since we have the funds to achieve other safety and efficiency goals we're not able to meet otherwise in the operating capital budget putting that all altogether this is what the budgets look like on the revenue side as you can see the comparison to the county fiscal year and as you can see that you know the 3 big ones the transit fairs and parking and traffic revenues and, of course, from the general fund.
2:36 am
>> on the expenditure side this shows both the dollars and the ftes each of the divisions of the organization as you can see the pattern there muni being the lions share of the organization follow by sustainable streets which is the streets management portion of the agency the two main operating parts of the agency you asked about overtime our overtime has been higher than we like it to be but we have been working the system and some is scheduled overtime for transit operators that is more cost fiscal and largo close our operator shortage gap overtime with transit operators has been declining on the maintenance side and trying to keep up and
2:37 am
expand the maintenance of both vehicles and the right-of-way this is what is driving the numbers while the numbers are high they are you look at them as a portion of overall budget they are declining we're actively managing trying to make sure that we are spending it, it is strategic and making sure we are more active how we manage the resources of overtime that's pretty much the operating budget in terms of the capital picture our 5 year cit stays roughly the same size 2. 3 because sfrau is a smaller part of capital budget but the other cargos street safety and transit option as well as the states repair it
2:38 am
bans on the recommendations from the mayor's transportation workforce will be meaning there are revenue measures this november 2016 as well as in november 2018 as the task force recommended to add an additional sales tax and discussions happening around the sales fax for 2016 we've seemed those in the budget based on the following recommendations from the task force and executive plan that came out out of that in the orders of 45 to $55 million a year initiating with an additional $10 million with the second measure coming in largely addressing the area program so for the fleet expansion are the big categories
2:39 am
we don't throw our federal and other funds generally have capacity for the additional money open the streets to advance more of the vision zero work so putting that altogether it is about $1.9 billion budget in the first two years and 3. 4 over the 5 year and the subsequent slides have the additional projects within the transit area within our streets area and then the some of the back up in the support of operating divisions obviously a lot of capital program all of the first two years it was approved and all the information is online and available to you and the public that's what i have here i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> and thanks you're attention at the end of a long meeting. >> thank you very much
