will get rowdy and they have every right to because this is their space and respect that. i think they know why i'm here and happy to be here to unveil the may 1 budget, but before i do that i want to share a bit of good news and that is in concert with our libraries and great leadership of library staff here and every branch we have in the itcity, we runouncing a increase to the library hour frz the entire city. that means that there will be a minimum of at least 50 hours a week the libraries are open. there are more program jz more story time to be readic to and read to in branch libraries like this. this is part of the enrichment programs violate to families and children and in fact, a number-i think at least 3 to 4

that willect attend the hours to 7 day as week. that is a incredible part to do so but every library will have a minimum of at least 50 hours. the chinatown branch and ocean view branch and mission library branches will be at least 3 that will experience fis clt upgrades to make sure they are the libraries for the 21 century. again, i will emphasize just a few years ago, we were having e to consider cutting so many thing jz had double digit unemployment but as a result och good investment jz result of having great bond ratings and borrowing opportunities we'll invest in our libraries and make sure that they reflect what we want for our families, for our kids, for our parents,

a safe, clean place to read, to learn. more and more you see the libraries are full of computers now too so they can access the internet, learn how to use it effectively. we do that and know we do that in the bayview library branch jz other branches so that we can use the libraries as 1 of our ininstruments to fill the digital divide at the same time. >> [inaudible] [yelling in background] >> for anyone to suggest that investing in our neighborhood branch libraries is i think a incredible gap of understanding. but, let me say this

and i'll want to make sure that you know that the 12 departments of the city out of the 53 departments is the announcement for todays may 1 budget. those 12 departments comprise the 4 enterprise departments and a number of departments that have fees as rather than the general fund as their major source of revenue and includes all of the departments that deal with our cities basic infrastructure. they together all 12 together comprise some 4.9 billion dollars in investments in the next 2 years that create and sustain some 41,000 jobs in the city. this is announcement and proud working with our office, they are working and will be presenting of course in the budget to board of supervises and we'll seek their approval of their budgets

and it continues our strong economic foundation for the city in making sure we take care of our infrastructure. in the 12 departments ask include the airport and port and public utilities commission, the municipal transportation commission or building inspection as a example, you have at the airport. they will continue refurbishing our terminals and making sure they support the incredible historic levels of visitors coming into the sitee. they also have a incredible turnout the airport is building its own hotel that will be part the visitor experience that will be reflective of the number 1 driver in the citytoryism and haase pitality. we will make invisment in theport that will

be one the biggest infrastructure challenges in the time and chablg for reziziancy and that is making sure the sea whaul wall will be there for hopefully another century or. the sea wall is something we'll teach the public about because it is underground and along the entire eastern side the city and you don't see it, it is below ground but if we don't rebuild the sea wall and make sure it is safe, everything along the water front from embarcadero to piers is under incredible challenge. the puc will make investment jz water system and sewer system and our pawer system and mta that will be improving transit and making sure the city is safer and longer last aing and includes funding for some 30 vision zero projects that

total $70 million. we want to come pleat the vision zero projects and make sure the goal is met in 2024 so this budget will do that. we'll also have something we are experiencing in the mission and that is a much more cultural effective response and prevention and too the fire squz anything that will destroy affordable housing so we have within this and again thank you to the leadership of tom howee and building inspection collaboration with the fire department to insure education in the communities where fires seem to be still ones that we want to prevent from happening that will have a comp tent response making sure that all of the residents and building owners have a higher level of safety for these very valuable historic buildings and buildings that

are housing a lot of affordability at this time. those are the sro's and the low income apartment buildings that still exist in the mission district. this budget will also reflect the moving forward and muni forward-forward muni program we have that increase the service ublth by at least 10 percent. muni seems to enjoy a better relationship with the riding public these days and want to continue that investment, make sure that we continue to have free muni for elderly and for people with disabilities along with youth up to the age of 18. again, to also make sure that we instrest in the routes that make muni more efficient, gives people moving to the places of work or to their education or branch libraries in a more efficient

way. this is just the may 1 budget with these 12 departments. the other departments that are general funds related will be part of our june 1 budget and we are working hard on that and we are making sure that we could step up with the $246 million challenge we have. it is a deficit we have for the next 2 years and we'll bridge that without decreasing services in the general fund departments and we are working hard on that and will be ready to have a balanced budget by june 1 and beginning discussions with members of the board of supervisor so they know what we doing in a transparent way. we are holding community meetings and neighborhood meetings and meetings with the supervisors to get their input to see what the next budget

will reflect. the budget is reflection of sth cities values and will continue reflecting that. we have been able tobalance our budget. my tum as mayor for the last 5 year jz continue doing so i fill unthe gaps and making sure the cuts that may come from the state or federal government we want to reflect in the budget are taken care of, but other things whether they are homeless shelters improvement or navigation centers or affordable housing or challenges of affordability in general, i think the branch libraries is a huchblg contribution to the affordable because they are all free and safe and have the modern technology in them but also the books that we increase and the link to our public education system. they are linked to our neighborhoods they are strong. they are linked to even small businesses who may want to come in and take a respite from the small

business and get on the internet and maybe open up a business they want it through the business portal, all that can hpen inl the branch libraries. with that, i want to say we are happy to initiate the may 1 budget of the 12 departments i & we are working hard to make sure the rest of the departments get the treatment deserve and will have announcements in the coming week. we are work wg the board sw neighborhood groups and can do this because we vastrong economy and we can do this because we are transforming our actually transporting the type of revenues we do so from evonets like the superbowls and the neighborhoods that need them and continue building strong neighborhoods. with that, i can take a few questions if you have them, the budget or anything else and

then we'll go on. >> [inaudible] >> well, it is a old old library just like this was and the physical changes we identified in some of the paperwork we are passing out. they will have-they are kind of behine the walls. they want more technology in the branch libraries and part of that will be upgrading the wiring system that is very old. we don't have room to expand so we actually have to comp sate for that limited space and make sure that all the spaces used and upgraded with wiring and new technology. we also will increase those hours in the library-like i said in all the branch libraries including chinatown that will have the library hours expanded as well. when i go out there it

was very crowded and everyone uses them throughout the weekend so expanded the hours is also part the deal. well, certainly muni has ever reason to do with transportation so one the programs that we supporting is called muni forward and that means increasing the services of muni by at least 10 percent . all the services include additional routes and includes improved routes and includes making sure muni moves deliberately on those routes in a safe way so it is very hard to get all the specifics but we can do so because it is part of the muni forward plan they approved. at the same time, they have some 30 vision zero projects.

projects that will make the streets safer and engineered and designed to be safer. slow down traffic where the projects have pruben traffic going too fast and people are not taking the turns in a safe way to cause safety challenges for pedestrians for seniors, all that is in the 30 additional projects we want to complete and want to do so i cost some 70 million dollars that is incraseed in the muni projeblths. and keeping muni free for seniors and people with disabilities and youth, that is all part of the budget as well. thank you. you get your room back kids! y.
