position on the requesting the my dues paid to director and the controller to report >> thank you mdm. clerk. first we'll have melissa white house from the mayor's budget office >> thank you. acting budget director and the mayors office and i want to get a little bit of context for today kicking off of the budget hearings and most of you have gone to a lot of this something i will pretty quickly and if you have any questions please are stopping at any point. so, budget this year next two fiscal years for 16-sending and 17-18.6 and 9.7 billion respectively. this about an increase in most 9 billion and earn your 15-16. positions are around 30,000 and was around 4% growth, about the current year and a large series both positions and growth. a lot of that growth is from enterprise departments which all heard in the month of may

and in particular the mta, finally pulling fully implementing the 10% service increase. other large growth on the general fund side with the department of public health and human service agencies around affordable care implantation and of opening of new sf general hospital last month. also, the final year is coming up 40 all the public safety hearings plans started i think a believer 13-14. so hearing the legalization of those plans with the next two years. that's another area of growth. just contact on the budget, so this year in the spring when we got the joint report with the controller's office and the budget legislative analyst, we are bouncing around $250 million over the next two years. eventually your product that was we didn't around one of no good i want make a point this was a little bit more difficult it last year we balance this revenue and this year was in revenue and i'll get into some of our solutions. the biggest changes from the year ago that

we see are really around for your retirement contributions. increasing commitment around baseline from set-asides for the city. also with a lot of one-time money this year more than expected, all you know with $73 million in additional funding and was the sale of a couple properties also. so when we have one-time money like that we work hard to kind of tie the one-time good news with one-time uses. when possible. biggest assumptions in the budget. the first is a .75 increase in the sales tax would be assumed in the budget. we also assume a $60 million reserve for unknown impacts of the budget includes no increase in your too long around employee salary and benefit cost increases accept the police and fire because there closed labor negotiation. the

rest of unions are closely did he open in 16-17 417-18 and also the budget includes the cpu core the of the additional 2.5% last year to your budget and 16-sending again and 17-18 is not significantly additional we do have this reserve unknown impacts and to speak that the potential uses that fund are still to be more than the money we were able to set aside weakness a good thing for us to do as a city. we did accept some departments target proposals although i would say mostly the revenue one's proficiency. this is really where were not using service in the budget which is great. asked thing, people fully funded a capital idea: plans in europe one of the budget and we always usually compact practice over the past several years to underfunding in year two to be but some room to grow in the second year. tonight we were able to fully fund all three of those items which is again a great thing to be doing when we have one-time money as a city. so, the big three focused priorities for the budget because we had last money this year we do need to be very strategic and the things the mayor and i talked about a lot

and focused on and also that occurred as priorities for a lot of board members as well, around homelessness, public safety, this specifically about prevention and police reform and quality of life around clean and safe neighborhoods and this is really in the budget and the general fund side round street cleaning and pet stops in those types of investments. other items i want to note briefly where there were honestly the children's fund was going a lot and you'll hear about that were the next couple days, the racks and part could be extended library hours as you heard about inmate which i think makes a big difference for families and citizens. we also funded $6 million, 3 million in each year for nonprofit displacement which is i think a be great around addressing affordability concerns a lot of our nonprofit partners. we funded in limitation of legacy business which passed last november. we funded an assumption around $39 million over the next two years around funding for seniors with disabilities toward the dignity fund to get that operate in the first year into the city to claim 22 england in the second

year. in the full funding of the equipment plan we had a really strong push for fire this year. there's just a lot of needs in that department around women which i'm sure will tell you more about. the something we prioritize the equipment plan this year. we fully funded ethics commission requests and lasting spots will budgeting which i says that fully fund one-time things like capital women i keep widget things that really save us money over the long term when we fund them now. we try to pay down some debt where possible. we try not to use reserves which we did not and still all things i think we should be doing right now were still able to make some new investments were not cutting service repair the city for when the day comes when if it comes there's a turn in the financial in our revenues theoretically. so, the next two i'm going to go through quickly how do we balance. around $250 million were looking at with the next two years our solutions work revenue, slight savings on at active retiree health, citywide solutions, especially as a

mention underfunding some of those plans in year two and department aleutians were largely revenue base. and some of our new investments you'll see items with the start. we were able to make some additional investments because we had additional revenue through the assumption of the sales tax passes. then, i think a mention all the others. on the wrapup and see that anyone has any questions. make use much for all your help through the budget process all you have been appreciative so far >> thank you. colleagues, any questions? budget director >> next we have ms. rosenfield. >> good morning supervisor. then rosenfield city

controller. i'm here today briefly present on what we call a revenue letter. the charter requires the comptroller's office to comment to the board of supervisors on the reasonableness of the revenue estimates contained in the mayor's proposed budget. we issued our analysis of the revenues two days ago. available on our comptroller's office website could get copies your note briefly run through some of the highlights. at the highest level we find the assumptions assumed in the budget reasonable. they do importantly, assume continued economic growth during the, two-year period. as always, the key risks we will need to monitor as we work through this two-year period should the budget be adopted as proposed. number one, again it does assume continued economic growth . it does assume continued strength, although weakening

strength in the commercial real estate sector in san francisco al talk specifically about what that means. then, lastly, as you know the mayor has proposed a .75% increase in the sales tax for this november's ballot. that revenue is assumed in the proposed budget. as is often the case, we place where revenue is not certain what is proposed, we placed a like amount extenders unreserved pending the outcome. overall, the budget the total budget rose by 7.2% in year one. 1.3% in the next year within the general fund growth rates are low that will work in the next year 6% growth 4.4 growth in the second year. when we look at the growth rates assumed for major taxes, which we summarized on this chart and of course there's a lot more information in the report itself, you can see that the story i was towing. we are the budget does propose that we do believe it's reasonable to assume continued although slowing economic growth during the spurt not and you see that translated into our taxes. on the high side, the first year budget and what we project our property taxes significant

increase at 11.8%. part of that is the result of really the current year of performing budget significantly on property taxes as we talked about and then continued growth as the assessor continues to do a good job of clearing back lockbox backlogs of assessments that need to be placed on the role. so, you are seeing that in the property tax numbers which is really a driver a lot of the procured were seen in the general fund at the moment. were that significant growth rates for other major taxes during this. as you can see on this chart, the one i'll highlight some of which we have started to see weakness in the current fiscal year is transfer apps. this is the most volatile single revenue source in the city. it tends to move with commercial real estate markets in particular. when we look at our projection of where we expect to in the current

two-year on transfer tax, we expect our current fiscal year the one were winding up to and approximately $50 million lower than we did last year. we seen significant weakness in the current year could work second that weakness to moderate a bit into the budget years but were expecting to see continued declines is really the market stabilizes. graphically, that's what this looks like it you can see transfer taxes, property taxes are not on the business tax and hotel tax continued to grow in the coming year period with modest the clients in transfer tax. we also touch in the revenue letter on whether the mayor has proposed budget is met with mandated spending levels for certain things. so there's analysis on each of those in the letter itself. but generally, as you can see on this slide, although the mandated requirements have been for spending my first happen, having met were likely met in the proposed budgeted in a couple of important cases, what's been proposed exceeds the minimum mandate level. so

we are above the baseline funding levels required in the proposed budget for children's baseline and the baseline added by the voters 12 years ago. we are at the funny level in the proposed budget for the mta, and that is various components, that drive that baseline. the new beck and park maintenance requirement adopted by the voters a couple of weeks ago, funding levels in the proposed budget are just marginally higher than that mandates about $200,000 hiring each of the two years. we think in our review the policeman and staffing requirements are likely met in the proposed budget and again all other financial baselines detailed in the report are met. just briefly, to recap our reserve position, these are

some of the key components and again there's more detail in the report itself, the general reserve is consistent with the financial policy the mayor and board of supervisors supervisors have adopted and can use to grow during this old period is the overall budget rose. the three main economic stabilization reserves in the middle of the stable are flat. neither deposits nor draws into those reserves proposed in the budget. it's interesting while the reserves themselves are static, as a percentage of the overall budget, were actually declining. so, as the budget grows, the percentage of clients from about 5.6% to 5.1% revenues during this period it on target in those policies is 10%. so, were not in bad shape but we are not improving in terms of our position towards that target. lastly, to reserves we highlighted on this page which are four back in part, reckon parkas propose modest draws on those, two-year period. so again briefly highlight key risks to monitor.

in related to the proposed budget the budget assumes most fundamentally continued economic growth for the two-year period. we've assume continued something commercial real estate here in san francisco. when we do see a market turn, a modest declines we talked about earlier in transfer tax would become significant very quickly. then lastly impress most importantly, the budget assumes the board of supervisors places in the voters adopt a .75 sales tax increase on november ballot and that revenue is assumed in the budget. then, just to and on this lot which you see from us often, we are now 96 months into this period of economic growth. that now makes this the third longest period of economic expansion since 1900 in the us. the budget as we talked about assumes continued

income growth which we think is a reasonable subject given what we see in the market, but if we do get through this two-year period without seeing the beginning of a downturn this week the longest period of economic expansion of the 24 that happened since 1900. so, just a note of caution. as we enter into the budget season. i'm happy to answer any questions. that concludes our report >> thank you. colleagues, any questions for our controller? on the revenue letter? okay. thank you very much. would that will move on. mdm. clerk please call items five and six together >> on i action on item number four? >> sure. can we continue this item, colleagues, less the public comment. any public comment on item number four? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> colleagues can we ask the we continue item number four to the call chair? moved and seconded. we can take that without objection. >>[gavel]

>> the ayes have it. item 5 and six. >> item number five approving all estimated expenditures for the departments of the city as of [inaudible] and june 30 2017. appropriation ordinance purposeful year and june 30, 2017 and june 30, 2018 continually creating a 17 these positions. >> thanks very much. again, i want to offer for those departments again that do not have a budget analyst report, other any department you wish to come speak? dr., please come forward. >> thank you very much.

members of the committee, i just want of knowledge by fiscal analyst natalie always think our mayor's budget analyst laura bush, for her support during this process. the department mission is to foster the equitable treatment and the advancement of all women and girls of san francisco through policies legislation and programs. we do work in three primary areas. human rights, bouts against women and women in the workplace. as you may know, women account for 49% of san francisco's population. will even go to the after that. in terms of our three-year budget the total current year budget was $6.72 million. we are proposing a 7.01 million dollar budget in the budget year and $7.02 million following. the gray bar represents our single largest program city grants program of 84%. the staffing and administrative expenses 16%.

our fte, we are proposing a growth from 6.01 26.02. i would like to say were small but mighty department. next slide, please. major budget changes, there are five. first of all, 2.5% increase in general fund grant budget to address the mystic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. 2.5% cost of doing business that are budget director announced earlier. the .5 fte increase from a federal grant that we received for a high risk domestic violence response team private. number four, as you may know san francisco is in the top 13 for child sex trafficking and this year we made a major investment with the mayor's leadership in a pilot to conduct 24-hour response for child sex trafficking in our proposed

budget we are, as a city, asking for full funding for the program. it will be moved to human service agency, children and family services, to manage the grant funded by pc at work order. given the interests anticipated shortfall, we want to do our part, proposed budget includes a $5000 reduction in our material supplies in the budget year and $5000 reduction in nonpersonnel expenses the following year. the next two slides take a deep dive into our single largest program, the [inaudible] grants program and if you take a quick look at the if you take a quick look at the ground boground box, chosen physical year 1230 we invested 3.3 million that serves domestic violence sexual assault and human trafficking survivors with the mayor's leadership, with the leadership of folks in this room, that has

increased 76% weary are proposing a 5.8 million dollar investment in these life-saving services and i just want to acknowledge that we bitter domestic violence consortium was largely responsible for these increases. 22% of the funds go to support prevention efforts. 20% funds that night at shelters and transitional housing programs. the remaining 50% rent crisis line services, legal services, intervention and advocacy. in terms of outcomes, in fiscal year 14-15 were still gathering data on 15-16. we invested $4.6 million in 33 community programs. so though most 25,000 individuals. conveyed over 31,000 hours of supportive services. over 10,000 bed nights, served almost 24,000 crisis calls in

the community. i just want to point out that 911 gets about 8000 bicycles in this area in the committee service providers have fielded 24,000, so that is three out of four crisis calls are served by the community. i last slide, looking forward terms of our initiatives, we continue to push the envelope the mayor's task force in human trafficking. we will be reviewing the foster care system. we've an exciting new partnership with the department of environment. they're helping an initiative to expand us on our reach to include labor rights and labor trafficking. in the coming year we will be doing a needs assessment for our next grant cycle and explore the next nexus between domestic violence and homelessness. but a gender equality principles will

highlight best practices and a gender analysis of trade law-enforcement and technology positions will continue as called for in the mayors shared prosperity agenda. finally, were supporting the mayor's office to the work of anna mcdonald to advance the bay area women's summit. posted by mayor lee this coming tuesday at muskogee. we hope all of you will join us there. thank you very much. >> thank you dr. pussy. colleagues, any questions? okay, thank you for being here. again, i want to make sure i get people the opportunity that you want to speak. i think ocii is here. i'm clerk please call adam eight >> thank you chuck. >> real quick, were to call item 8 >> item number eight >>[reading code] >> thank you mdm. clerk.

strong return on these investments among which are really an investment in the good infrastructure for the city ethics program and accountability and transparency. with that i want to thank you this morning i look for to working with each of you in the coming years to make that a reality in our new chapter as a commission. >> thank you. any other departments again that don't have a budget analyst report that was to speak? then were to move on. again, feel free to be excused and no need to come back next week either. congratulations on your budget season get with that, will open this up now to our next apartments that are not integrated the city attorney on a requested early. >> thank you chairman farrell for giving me the opportunity to come and speak with you today. as chairman, as you noted, we are in agreement with the budget analysts report and

before i get into an overall discussion an outline of the work that our office has done over the course of the last year, i just want to point out to you the numbers. an increase here in year one fiscal year 2016-2017 approximately $3 million. that is all encompassed by mandated salary and fringe benefits or other attorneys and other staff and in your tooth is clear 2017-118 there's an additional $2.2 million increase which again is salary and fringe mandated salary and fringe increases without a rent increase onover the box plus that where we house about we have six floors of space. so, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to come and speak with you this morning. i know that many of you are familiar with how our office's role in

the work we do. we assist you in drafting legislation. we provide you legal advice. we review and approve contracts. securing bonds and other legal instruments. we defend all legal claims and lawsuits and negotiate and recommend settlements for your approval. if you consider work like that that we do for the board of supervisors and multiply that by the 100 plus officials and departments is pretty much the job of the san francisco city attorney's office. by virtue of san francisco's many functions of course are proximally 180 lawyers with additional 130 or so support staff, the filter complete range of advice, transaction litigation roles that you expect about a very large law firm. our office is expertise to expand every legal specialty and practice area. now to offer a quantitative perspective on our office, with the course of the last year we processed almost 3400 claims so far this fiscal year and up

with is on track for just under 3600 by the close of the fiscal year on june 30. the respective the board of supervisors, there have been 232 were generated legal work assignments, which puts us on track virtually with the most identical to the 242 four generated we will work assignments that we had last fiscal year. overall, we are on track to reach 81 newly opened work assignments before the end of the fiscal year in two weeks. that's down slightly from the previous year where we saw boxley 938 in the year 2015. however, it's also a market increase over the three pioneers going back to 2012 when you legal work a summons average only about 630 and would. so the work continues to pick up. in terms of new initiatives and problematic programmatic changes. which of these involve our nationally

recognized criminal litigation practice. which you probably recall me talk about in the previous years. which is recently been honored by the national association of consumer advocates for the work that we do. this year, we will be celebrating the tenure interpersonally of our partnership with io law school on this program. further litigation essentially means cases we pursue as a plaintiff which is not very traditional for a municipal law office. sometimes those cases arise from causes of action we pursue on behalf of city taxpayers and other affirmative litigation cases seek to remedy injustices we find in the marketplace. usually, those efforts aim to protect consumers, renters, we jurors and others for my model conduct by unscrupulous businesses. in truth, those cases were going to let important function of

protecting the vast majority of law-abiding businesses that you play by the wills. by effectively policing the marketplace, affirmative litigation practice offers certainty to honest enterprises that they won't have to compete with cheaters. i am proud of our publishers of this year in terms of our litigation. recently, we have protect low income renters from this commission citywide winning a preliminary injunction against the landlord and real estate broker for violating local law by refusing to section 8 housing vouchers. we brought our legal expertise to bear for environmental protection especially in the fight against global climate change. we join local governments nationwide to support pres. obama's clean power plant more stringently regulate fossil fuel power plants. we stood up to pg&e's anticompetitive tactics which are putting a stranglehold on our distribution to clean publicly owned hydropower for city services and tenants and recently we beat back a bit by hetch hetchy drainage advocates to dismantle gravity driven water and hydropower system which is a model of environmental stewardship for centuries to come. we negotiated by breaking accord

with the state of nevada over to inhumane patient dumping practices. agreement is a model that was sure the care and dignity psychiatric patients when they travel between jurisdictions. we brought suit against american express for defining fighting into test was costing businesses and consumers billions in needlessly inflated charges and most recently, we set another is enough to be cabinet about university and after years of thumbing its nose at city laws and city departments, and city officials, aau will finally be held to account for its conduct in court. our legal efforts continue protect san franciscans quality-of-life. as we do every year, we've aggressively pursued public nuisances, threats to health and safety, and housing code violations in neighborhoods citywide and i want to applaud the consuming partnership that we have from every member of the board of supervisors in trying to cooperate with our office in our efforts. at the same time, our office works hard to overcome the inevitable

legal challenges that follow even the most broadly supported civic developments. but the warriors event center, and challenges to the soccer fields and ambitious bike plan. i like to close supervisors, with an issue that unfortunately has once again been thrust into the national spotlight. it's an issue that i know matters most deeply to all of you as it does to me and that's discouragement of gun five. san francisco has admixed results over the years on our local efforts to annex tougher gun safety laws. long before i became city attorney, in fact, san francisco was a vivid litigation target the national rifle association. which has sued to invalidate even most common sense gun safety laws. a year ago this month however the us supreme court denied review to a case that cause legal pundits nationwide to sit up and take notice. at nearly 150 petitions

denied in fact only one to a written dissent from justices clarence thomas and the late into nice collier. arguing at the high court should take up the case and that was the case of the analyze lawsuit against san francisco. with the court's denial we decisively ended their six-year legal challenge and we have held our cities gun safe storage lot. my office stands ready to work with you on fossil and effective policies in all cases in courts that gun cases especially were ready and willing to work with you and aggressively of defendant bylaws from an right tactics as long as nasa. i know you love city department to want to hear from but that's a brief overview of the work we have done over the course of the last year. as i noted, the outset were on agreement with a budget analyst report and his recommendations. puppy happy to take any questions that any of you have. >> thank you. colleagues from any questions? comments from our city 20 okay, thank you. mr. rosen can we have your report please. >> yes, mr. chairman miller statement like to make one

opening comments. we issued a report to the budget and finance committee and the full board of supervisors on june 14th and i want to read one statement from that report. the city's salary and fringe benefits budget provides funding that exceeds the city departments actual staffing based on prior expenditures and history. urrent fiscal year 2015-16 according to the comptroller's high-level monthly spending rate report, the city's general fund departments will have a projected year-end salary surplus of $59.1 million. were 3.2% of fiscal year 15-16 budget and salaries of 1.9 billion and as you know, supervisors, you recently discussed the issue of the use of surplus hours for additional overtime. the reason why make this statement is just to put

some of our recommendations into context as we proceed with these hearings. with respect to the city attorney, on page 23 of our report, recommended reductions for the proposed budget total $413,000 in 16-17 in that amount 8031 were ongoing savings and 405186 one-time savings which still allow an increase of 2 million or 3.4% in the 16-17 budget. we also recommend closing out prior-year unexpended encumbrances of $85. together these recommendations equal $413,000 in general fund savings and 1617 and a recommended reductions total $8031 and 1718 which ongoing savings. these reductions would still allow an increase of $2 million for 2.8% of the

department's fiscal year 17-18 budget. as i understand it the department does concur with the recommended reduction shown on page 24-25 of our report. we will be happy to respond to any questions >> tank you very much. any questions for mr. rosen? with a gash in the quick but for someone asked our city attorney to make sure we discussed the public comment process and how be taken action. >> deputy city attorney john gibner. members of the public will have an opportunity to talk on the entire budget including any cuts the committee makes during this foster every day when you with presentations from departments, and recommendations from the budget analyst, the committee tentatively indicates its intent to make cuts, so the controller and the mayor and other city staff contact along

the way. the ashley taken any formal action until after public comment which will be next week. but, if the public sees you gobbling down on things, that's not actually to formally approve motions. that's just to indicate to the staff with the committee intends to do next week. >> thank you mr. gibner or appreciate the clerk. with that collects river city attorneys budget in front of us. in concurrence with a budget analyst the condition. let a motion to accept those recommendations pending public comment on them? moved and seconded. we can take that without objection. >>[gavel] >> up next, we have our assessor recorder's office. just because, annex we have our finest easy and will be next, mayors office, gen. city responsibly and comptroller's office will be following that. >> good morning members of the

committee. chairman farrell. it's great to be back in the board chambers today. i want to take a moment just to thank my team who's come with me today but also back at the office. i am joined by my deputy assessor, gigi whitley, douglas like, is not here but he's also quickly helping us to defend a case at the assessment appeals board. in my entire staff, sometimes with the presentations we get ahead of ourselves in particular think the people matter most lower make sure i do that upfront here. i also take a moment to think the controller. thank you for much for highlighting some of the great successes that officers had over the past year. i know that then and the controller will never say it, but the better our office does i think the better our city does. so were really glad to be part of that picture. was

recently, when we talk about the city's nine month progress, we talked about some really great news in terms of revenue for the city. as i mentioned earlier, the city sought a nine month mark about $106 million better than expected revenue news. kabila to say that 83 million of that came from property taxes i think our office takes a point of pride for having done so much to make sure there were hoping the city and on top of that, though, will has not yet been complete it will be completing at june 30. were already anticipating were going to be adding to the role within 7% in terms of role growth. we will be close to $199 billion in assessed value for a city that is 7 miles x 7 miles. that is no small congressmen. on top of that, i think is been mentioned, transfer tax continues to be a strong driver in terms of revenue for the city. this year were looking at summer around the range of $240 million and we know the revenue to continue to be important as the city

moves four. so with that i do want to start moving forward to talk a little bit about some of the areas were we've seen challenges and some of our strengths. in terms of some of the major commissions committees might be things that may board and bring people to tears, but these are the things that really excite me. these are things that really help our government to work better and to really help to be more efficient and when other major questions is really the launch of via assessor information management system. this is a system that aims to preserve but not only that, to consolidate and make surgical all the office work files in our office. in one consolidated place. though it has a lot of benefits in terms of disaster recovery, we have no other backup ready these files, it is great in terms of opening up our office as we continue to grow. it also creates a huge efficiency. things that i think this body the mayor's office

our office in our taxpayers certainly care about making sure the government becomes more efficient. with all the work that we have, our desktop spaces, we had him on server files, it 207,000 fiscal paper files that we have them scattered to our office and file areas, but not only that in our desk areas. in order to be will to bring them all into one place we are launching this new system called aims. again, were proud of this option. this is something we are ready in the process of implementing. this could be huge huge improvement for the work of our office not only that make sure were preserving the proper team property tax data information that the city and the state requires of us. moving forward, one item that you sound very similar to you is transfer tax. then spoke a little bit about

transfer taxes in the past and what were beginning to see is that transfer taxes is something that is of course very highly contentious. especially when the stakes are very high. one of the things i'm proud our office is on we have initiated a transfer tax audit program. overdoing as were taken a look at our highest value transfer tax items and really digging in to make sure that what has been reported is accurate. recently, these are two cases that came before you in terms of hotel tax liens we came back with if i .5, $5.4 million lien and those were really the results of our staff proactively looking to review transfers to make sure that the values that they were reporting were in fact correct. had we not had this audit transfer tax program at $5.5 billion could then easily swept under the rug and we would not know to collect them. again, one of the christ for their hard work and diligence in making sure protecting the weight we need to. not only do we do that, but we are also making sure that were defending value for the city and county of san francisco. we speak a lot about adding value to the role. we speak a lot about new construction projects, change of ownership transfer taxes,

but one large component of our work in which we work closely with you through your clerk of the board in the assessment appeals board is working to defend the value we put on the role. i can't tell you how critical and important the settlement of our work is. when the major commissions we've seen is that from fiscal year 2013, when i first took office, we took a look at it at the end of the year we had about 6804 city real estate appeals having. this year i'm happy to save the interstate as of may 2016, we will only have 1500 and six cases of same. this is a significant improvement in terms of number of outstanding appeals but more ports, it's also a significant reduction in terms of the revenue at risk the city has. we have dropped from $480 million in terms of revenue at risk money that we potentially would have to give back to now only having $140 million of revenue at risk associate with it. part of our success i think has been to do

things smart more :-). one of the things we have seen is that especially for commercial properties, improving economy, many of the commercial properties may be filing just to preserve the right to be able to appeal cases. they might not merit to the case did not have a strong case in terms of being able to reduce the property values. our office in the past was that a lot of repairing those cases. we schedule hearings and perhaps a taxpayer would never show up. perhaps they never had intended to fight the case to begin with. what we've done a week on smarter. we now issued will recall 441 in advance. were asking taxpayers to provide us a ferment of reason why their case is strong and what we've seen is that many of the taxpayers, rather than spending the time in order to prepare those evaluations have decided simply to withdraw their cases. i will give you a point of fact. when we talked a look at last year's report, we had about 53% of cases we withdrawn from the sf appeals board last year. in contrast, after we

implemented this program this year, 80.2% of cases were withdrawn. rather than wasting valuable staff time, rather than wasting the bible time of our board of appeals members, we really are seen affirmative work has helped to bring down all of everybody's waste wasted time and efforts. with that, maybe turning over to my deputy gigi whitley, the presentation. she scored to be speaking to you about some of our budget request but only that to highlight two important areas in which we are working. are two critical challenges ahead do with not only the continued workload challenges that we have but also the system there will be looking to replace in the coming years. with that, i thank you for your time and turn it over to gigi whitley. thanks much >> good morning members of the committee. talking more about

our budget priorities, one area of success indicative of our challenges has been our hiring success. over the fiscal year we made 55 new appointment in the department of about 160 people. 37 of those are new hires. that is a fantastic call, a congressman and a testament to the staff hardware. however, three employees have either retired or left the department this year. for a department this small, of about 160 people, to have a 20% annual turnover rate is a significant challenge. it's instructive to our operations and there's a lot of institutional knowledge and it takes time and resources to train new staff. with that, our budget priorities reflect long-term strategies to recruit qualified people and retain our existing talent. to do so, we

create a new management structure to implement new business process improvements, the css as discussed make systematic changes throughout the department. additionally, we plan to provide career ladders for clerical and entry-level staff survey promotive and growth opportunities within our organization. we've also added four new commercial appraisers three dbi work order to avoid getting further behind on the commercial property assessment we have yet to work. our budget priorities also include working with the treasurer tax collector and controller on a new major it project to modernize and secure the city's property tax system the long-term. as you saw in the first slide, were limiting our paper files and plan to staff into spaces designated and design for filing cabinets and with the support of the capital planning committee, is funding in our budget to support the re-purpose of our office space to become more functional and address mechanical, construction and airflow deficiencies. so what's the status of our caseload? the chart before you shows the number of pending assessment cases were changes in ownership, new construction

events, and assessment of appeals. starting june 2014, through last month in 2016. at the office has made progress on assessment appeals cases and continues to close out older cases, we are not kept pace with the incoming workload from the height will estate construction activity. we all the office still has new construction and changes in ownership cases waiting to be reassessed. the estimated tax value from these cases is about $145 million. funding needed for our city to support critical services. but i draw your attention to the rising new construction caseload. our office is struggling to handle the new construction activity that's beginning to hit our desks. especially with more complex properties and large development projects such as the completion of the transbay area and hunters point shipyard in candlestick point already underway. so, members of the

committee, this is our office has traditionally spoken about our backlog and are caseload in terms of our real property workload. while this represents a large portion of what we do, it's not the full picture. our office pipeline starts at the recorder where we process approximately 2 and 1000 documents annually. a portion of those transactions, accessible events. those documents then move over to our transaction unit that process changes in ownership, to determine whether they trigger a reassessment id. spirit. paprocki matt unit alone of more than 26,000 cases. those are cases yet to be reviewed and get to go to any desk of any appraiser. now we know not all of them will be re-assessable but a poor 40% will be. then the cases become the incoming workload for real property division. did you know that's not all we do? we also have about 1300 personal management cases every year, what line adjustments, personal splits, mergers, more than just

redrawing maps. each parcel change must value the subdivided parcel, validate a stated ownership information, and manually in our system, though from a large property to create individual parcels such as condo units, one by one within our system. each year the office is also required to enroll in progress new construction value of the thousands of open permits coming from the department of building inspection. the office of value about 1200 properties at $2.4 billion to the assessment will in progress new construction. informal reviews also part of our work. that involves a legal obligation to take a look at property values where the owner is requesting that a market has declined and that their evaluation should therefore decline. the office completed about 2000 informal

reviews this fiscal year as well. within all that, managers must also manage the business personal property division, which brings approximately $130 million into the city's coffers. as was her exemption unit. even in those units we are behind that were obligated to complete more than 300 audits in a fiscal year we've not been able to meet that target over the years. so, with this in mind, these budget investment seven critical. all this work is done in the to legacy systems you see before you on the screen. with the assessor's office about legacy it system which is aging functionally obsolete and challenging to get accurate and timely information out of. our partners at the treasurer tax collector and controller are also working on their own legacy mainframe systems planned for decommissioning.

that's why our office is joined together when the critical infrastructure and it project to secure an modernize the city's entire property tax systems. they would enable the city to bring in $2 billion annually. the project benefits are clear. improved taxpayer service. integrate those functions across the three city agencies. improve revenue collection. make sure that a sale that occurs today doesn't become an uncollected tax bill when our office is delayed and processing the transaction and there's already a new owner of the property. increase access and transparency to information from a special about ownership of property areas, especially for partner departments, dbi, city planning, dpw. increased efficiency and quality, we engineer our business processes, eliminate those of manual tedious proper processes that take time to build a resilient and it infrastructure that provides robust data retention, backup, disaster recovery. so, please update on the project. the committee has

approved this as the next major it project after the completion of the financial system replacement and the public radio public safety radio replacement. is a multiyear project that is already launched this fiscal year and is well underway with the free partner departments. we are engaging in a process to develop our individual san francisco business use cases, requirements, and a readiness assessment along all almonds of the project to ensure success. that's why they recommend one points $9 million in our budget is for the three departments and beginning to do the data mapping and conversion of these 200,000 property files and information and tax bills into a new system as well as to burp there for rfp process. that project will ramp up in year two of the budget with system implementation beginning. with

that i'll close my remarks. i've included for your reference are you over your budget changes. if you have any questions on that, our office is in agreement with a budget analyst like to again thank the budget analyst office the mayor's budget office and the controller's office for their work. >> thank you. colleagues, any other questions or comments? seeing none, thank you very much. i'm glad to see if our budget chair is going to return ? supervisor farrell >> apologies, colleagues. mr. rose, can we go to your report, these? >> this to chairman, members of the committee, i believe the committee has our revised report, which was just passed out this morning. on page 15 of

that report, recommended reduction to the proposed budget total 536 incidentally, the revision announced less than $500. just for your information. 530 in 16-7. of that amount, $67,000 our ongoing savings. 463 a one-time savings. these reductions would still allow an increase of $6 million or 20.9% of the departments fiscal year 16-17 budget. i recommend reductions to the proposed budget total $77,000 and 17-19 aldwych ongoing savings could these reductions would still allow an increase of $6 million or 2012.2% in the department 17-18 budget and as i understand it the department does concur with the recommended reduction shown on pages 16 and 17 of our report. >> thank you mr. is. any questions or comments for mr. rose on the report for the report of? okay. everyone is

in agreement it may entertain a motion to except these budget analysts by clinicians? moved and seconded. can we take that without objection? without objection the motion passes. >>[gavel] >> up next, we have our fine arts museum. i would first like to call up this dd will see who obviously for years have played such a significant also thank you for being here. >> good morning supervisors. i'm dd woolsey president of the fine arts museum and i'm actually delighted to present to you today our new executive director. now, this is been a wonderful event for us. he's been exactly one week and he is now seeing the board of supervisors. very impressive indeed and we are welcoming him from frankfurt but i will tell

you that he is austrian means yes and even increased sense of humor. representative because i know you don't want to know what elicited obviously he's very handsome. is a very attractive white. he would tell you a little about himself but i feel i can tell you this and he probably can stomach it also is three adorable children. the removing here at the end of the summer and we are very very anxious to introduce the entire family to our city which we know he will love and contribute to so much. he has an mba so he knows how to run the business side of the museum as wells as the arts side and we are very very pleased to have such a well-rounded person did so with no further ado, i present to you max-. >> thank you so much. thank you for having me here. i know it's permits, my first week in office so i probably would not be with to give you a full presentation on her upcoming fiscal year and all the

analysis, but i'm now in the phase of listening, learning and analyzing the situation. i come with a fairly broad level of experience in using a management having run three major museums in frankfurt for the last 15 years, both in the private and the public sector. the kind of equal a bit both into their scope, attendance, staffing, the great fine arts of san francisco some extremely excited to be here now to have found a home, to have children in school and everything, but i think for me right now it's a challenging but fantastic moment to move ahead with the fine arts museum of san francisco in this great environment and what i can promise already the upcoming fiscal year is that we certainly want to build on the successes of the fine arts museum, but make them even more welcoming institutions, institutions the road provided

great service to the citizens of san francisco and the bay area. i think today is more ports than ever that a museum is not solely a place you visit, but it's actually a provider of cultural education on the broadest front and it's really radiates and spreads out to the community. i think that's what the museum is about and i think that's what it will be about in the future. especially, in this great moment when the i can say this is a european, when the whole world is looking at san francisco as the epicenter of the great city in development, i think cultural institutions in the city play a crucial role and we want to be also fantastic ambassadors to the cultural life of san francisco to the world and i think that's also something we are working on right now in regard to developing even further

programming and ambitious programming for our audience here but also for audiences way beyond our physical map. they just much for having here. i don't know if you have questions on my family or anything. i honestly am happy to be in california as an australian former governor who came from austria so i hope i can step into the level of experience. >> thank you. colleagues, any questions? to the presentation want to go through? >> good morning. richard benefield the deputy director and chief operating officer. in this budget process we think we think the board of supervisors made mayor's budget analyst. when agreement with a budget analyst recommended reduced budget for fiscal year 2016-17

of $19.4 million, which is 6.5% higher than the original fiscal year 2015-16 budget of $18.3 million. the majority of the rise is due to increases in negotiated salaries and benefits and admission revenue and expenditures. at the april meeting of the board of trustees, the board voted to increase general admission fees for nonmember adults from $10 to $50 beginning july 1. this is the first increase in over a decade command also on july 1, going forward, all visitors under the age of 18 will be admitted free of charge. capital project funding is proposed to decrease from this year's $1.8 million to $1.4

million in fiscal year 2016-17. in fiscal year 2015-16, we continued capital work on the roof and exterior masonry at the legion of honor as well as projects to place the fire alarm system and feeling security shutters. we corrected drainage issues in the entry court and continued replacement of failed exterior lighting. in fiscal year 2017, capital work will continue on the roof, masonry and 630 shutters at the legion and repairs will be performed on clouding supports on the-tower. approximately, 27% of our operating budget is supported by the city but this amount over 50% is from museum security services. the fine arts using them of san francisco both public and private employee over 530 full-time and part-time employees. additionally, we utilize the services more than 500 volunteers. although we are a dynamic institution within

exhibition and program schedule full of exciting changes, we have no major new policy initiatives were investment changes to report other than the hiring of macs as executive director. we at the museum on agreement with a budget analyst recommendations do not believe that follow-up is required. the-was funded in 1895 and the legion of honor in 1924. museums have served the public for over a century and we continue to serve our community , the region, and the global audience with exceptional exhibitions and public educational programs while caring for the cities esteemed art collection. no, i would like to highlight a few over activities past year. as a combination to the citywide celebration of the 100th anniversary of the panama pacific international exhibition, on october 17, 2015, the exhibition jewel

to the motion to accept the budget analyst recommendations pending public on its? moved and seconded. can we take that without objection? without objection the motion passes. >>[gavel] >> thank you very much. next, this of you last one before our break we have the mayor's office to present. understanding were in agreement if we could present quickly. >> good morning supervisor is benjamin' deputy director for finance and administration for the mayors office of housing and community development.

since our part of the mayors office comprises the bulk of the mayors office budget i will be presenting the majority of the presentation this morning. if you take a look at this slide showing the general fund uses by service area, so different categories of the mayors office does, you will notice that over 90% of the mayors office general fund budget is part of ocd. the 65% affordable housing and 26% community investment, which is basically our grantmaking nonprofit organizations in the community. how that breaks down, if you take a slightly different look, if you look at expenditures general fund expenditures by type, bows and 16-7, proximally 60% of our general fund revenue will be spent on affordable housing loans, about 20% on grandson nonprofit organizations with a balance supporting the

operations of the department. i want to take a moment and go quickly to some of the key 16-17 proposed budget changes in affordable housing on. first, we are proposing a third year of borrowing $25 million from future housing trust fund allocations and we are also including in this year's budget proposal the transaction costs for all three years worth of borrowing. the transaction cost for the first two years with the borrowing were not included in previous budgets. we are also including $33 million of expenditure authority that supported by loan repayments from previous housing trust fund loans that we made to affordable housing projects should we have already received about $40 million of that revenue in repayments and the remaining $20 million we place on control the reserve, so that

when we received that money we can loan that money out, again, to knew of what housing projects. the budget also includes the charter mandated increase in the housing trust fund of $2.8 million each year, and then finally, it includes the elimination of the one-time 15-16 amount of $8 million of tax exempt bond revenue we received from ocii and were also aligning treatment of repayments from former sf ra loans to house those loans are treated for the originated loans in the budget. in the community development realm, we have included up to $8.5 billion of revenue from hope sf market rate land sales to sport hope sf development. whatever we received a market rate land sales will be dedicated to supporting the hope sf program. we've included a $2 million work order from dbi for pilot nuisance abatement program and

housing andforth code violations and we've included $750,000 in new funding for pilot program supporting housing for seniors with disabilities and also additional immigrant service grants. on this i'm not going to go through it. i just invite you to take a quick glance at all the amazing work that we have underway and 16-17 in the housing realm. we are working really hard and building new lots of new units rehabbing lots of new units as i'm sure you're all aware and as you glance through this list, many of these projects will be similar to you i imagine. this summary table organizes the budget comparing it to 15-16 and then looking ahead into 17-18. the numbers in the second column the change from 15-16 i've already walk

through on the slides all those major changes. but i do want to address the last column because it appears as such a large decrease in the budget for 17-18. i just want to walk through what that is comprised of. first of all, if the elimination of $25 million darling from the housing trust fund as well as the related $40 million budget for the one-time transaction costs associated with the borrowing and that's not can be continuing and 70-18. production of production of $9 million in one-time one land sales revenue and a production of projected loan repayment of $40 million to the housing trust fund and for both 15-16 and 16-17 we've

contributed $2.5 billion to housing accelerator funds. that goes away in 17-18. the final part of the reduction in 17-18 is due to the beginning of debt service for the housing trust fund borrowing because of the way the budget is structured, it appears as a reduction in the mayor's office budget and it appears elsewhere in the budget as an increase. those are the first four rows of the table here. the last wrote summarizes major administration and would invite my friend and colleague, carol lou, of to briefly address the mayor's administration. >> good morning supervisors. as benjamin before the mayors office budget is comprised of mayors office of housing community development and mayors administration. as demonstrated on the stable, 90% of the budget changes related to affordable housing. and loan repayment on the ocd side. on the administration side, a proposal goes grows the budget

by $659,000 budget the property of. this is primarily due to citywide negotiated salary and benefit cost increases for existing staff. attrition change, and the addition of one position to repair for collective bargaining. we are in agreement with the budget and would save analyst recommendations and benjamin and i are available to answer any questions you have about the budget itself and we have senior staff from ocd to answer any programmatic questions. >> thank you. any colleagues questions or comments? supervisor tang >> i don't have a question that i want, and generally on the mayor's proposed budget. i know that the mayor's budget team works very hard to put together the budget every year that i may be a little biased but i do feel that they consist of a team of very talented individuals who year after year and not able to ask for any type of salary increases because of the nature of their work but i want to go on record saying that i believe that hopefully in the future the mighty conversation about that.

they put some work into developing our city's budget each year and never see an increase. so i want to applaud and commend you all for the hard work that you put into our city's budget. >> colleagues, and a the questions of comments? okay. mr. rose go to your report, please >> yes. on page 34, recommended reductions to the proposed budget total $60,000 and 16-17 ongoing savings. these reductions would still allow an increase of 48 million dollars or 43% of the department 16-17 but that we recommend approval of the interim exception. we also enclosing a prior-year unexpended encumbrances 22,000 830 which will allow the return of that amou to the general fund. we recommend closing out

two in a $17,000 a unexpended fiscal year 15-16 appropriations not assumed as the mayors fund balance of together, these recommendations total twitter $99,000 in general fund savings in 16-17 and in 1718 recommended reductions to the proposed budget totaling 69,000, all of which are ongoing savings and as i understand the department does concur with the recommended reductions which are shown on pages 35 and 36 of our report. >> thank you. collect any questions or comments for budget analyst? seeing none,, could i entertain a motion to accept the budget analyst recommendation? moved and seconded. we can take that can we take that wi >> welcome back to our brother scheduled budget and finance committee for june 16, 2016. we are rejoining after recess. when the middle of that items

five and six and hearing different department budgeted up next we have general with city responsibility and i know michelle from our comptroller's office is going to speak. hold on one second. >> thank you good afternoon. general city responsibility contains funds allocated for use across many city departments. the largest expenditures are transfers to the hospital and to other funds for baseline expenditures mandated by the voters. about $930 million in the first year. the second largest expenses debt service just over $200 million in the first year. so it's a small flavor of what's in the budget and we are in agreement with the budget analyst recommendations.

>> okay thank you very much. colleagues, any questions? bistros can we go to your report, please >> yes mr. chairman. members of the committee on page 60 of our report, i recommended reductions to the proposed budget total $300,000 in 16-17 ongoing savings. if reductions would still allow an increase of $121.4 million or 10.9% in the department 16-17 budget and for 17-18 we do not recommend any reductions to the proposed budget as i understand it the department does concur with our recommended reductions shown on page 61 of our report. >> okay. thank you very much. colleagues from any questions for our budget analyst? at that point and that i motion to approve a budget analyst repetitions? pending public comment? moved and seconded.

we can take that without objection. >>[gavel] >> up next with our comptroller's office mr. rosenfield, welcome >> good afternoon ben rosenfield city controller. you're familiar with our office. i'll be very concise but as you generally know we want to ensure the city's financial integrity and to promote efficient effective and accountable government. we provide a number of different services your and our government always the financial services, accounting, payroll, we administer the city's budget. we manage the city status. additionally, we have eight and array of auditing and reporting, and assistant services that we provide over there is city operations and performance. importantly, increasingly, we are running the core it systems on which many of these services work. our 16-17 budget totals about 16.9-$69.5 million. this is showing you just and broad scope the different services

and divisions we operate. i think the ones to note today that were right-were halfway through now in a very large project which this board approved last year to replace the city's 35-year-old financial system. so you concede that makes up about 20% of our budget for the year ahead. $19.4 million. the rest of these are these other ongoing services that we provide. you see that in the broad project in the brought art of our budget as well. with growth occurring from 15-16 into 16-17 and the declining somewhat and 17-19 at the project comes to an end and we moved to an operational phase. you see the same pattern with the general fund report. so, really this project am a which at the time we started was the largest most complicated and

most expensive it systems project the city had at that time started, really, the dominant story in our budget and frankly in a lot of the work we are doing in the department a lot of the finance the finance families working on these days. i won't run through a list of current your accomplishments, but we've highlighted some of them on this slide should we have completed a number of important milestones this year. on the systems we wanted we've upgraded payroll human capital system do we implement it four years ago now. after the board authorized us to start the financial system replacement project, this time last year, we very quickly ramped into it and were now halfway through the project and so this week a month we finish the design phase of the project and we've actually already started the building and configuration of the new system. in advance of a july 1 next fiscal year launch. but of course we've also sold bonds, we were all worked on a host of other initiatives. with completed 70 audits this year. we are very proud of a new

public performance scorecard we've launched that's available on a website. it provides the public and policymakers insight into how different city department and operations are doing against their adopted targets. so just a quick snapshot of some of things were proud of in the current year. looking at a couple of the key initiatives for next year that are contained in a budget, i didn't commit the largest ago one is this project. this is a $50.6 million pop overall project and were halfway through it. it touches not just the existing legacy system that we are replacing which we call famous, but it's grabbing a host of other systems that are grown over time due to the limited functionality that famous provides. so were really excited about the new fortune hourly this is bringing to the city get we think make it easier for vendors do business with us. we make easy for

employees to do the work and we think it can provide a vast amount of new information that can be available to department heads and the mayor the board of supervisors and the public to better eye on what's going on within our finance and functions in particular. we have also in the budget proposed using our city services auditor baseline a couple of new initiatives. one is focused around a mandate we have to generally help the city improve the way we buy things, and so we have proposed in the budget a small team of four ftes which we intend to team with the office of contract administration, work on modernizing some of the ways we buy things in the city. that can be host of initiatives. this is a two-year limited term initiative but we think it can yield real fruit for constant frustration for city departments could additionally, we've been growing our it auditing function in the city given risk we have is the government in that area and we intend to embed two it auditors the security initiative that the department of technology is launching this year. so a lot

going on in our budget just highlight three key initiatives, those are the ones that rise to the top of our list. you have a number of other items on the agenda here today could you we are bringing forward and some of these are ministerial ones that control. this brings for to help facilitate the big-ticket others ideas. this a brief synopsis of what items number 10 to 15 do. item number 10our offices proposed working with >> real quick, would you call item i should do not use would you call item 10-16, now. >> item number 10 >>[reading code] item number 11,

>>[reading code] item number 12, >>[reading code]item number 13, >>[reading code] item number 14, >>[reading code] item number 15, >>[reading code] item number 16, >>[reading code]

>> okay, thank you. sorry mr. rosenfield >> i can briefly describe these different pieces of legislation. item number 10, there's a current administrative code allowance allows departments to establish prequalified pools of contractors to draw upon for different professional and general services. the current duration on those pools is two years. often times will take it upon six months-i might even to create apple. so we proposed here were gritty city administrator in the city purchaser, is an allowance that apple could exist for four years provided there is a midcycle reopened to allow new bidders into the pole. we think an efficiency measure per contractors. we do a lot of this kind of conduct and work in office we think more broadly will help manage contracting work in the city. item number

11, this is a state code requirements. most counties use consultants to a complex sales tax among other things and requires the board of supervisors authorization to officially designate them as the consultants they can have access to certain records that the state board of utilization maintains. item number 12, is relates to the access line tax. this is a flat fee tax that the voters adopted in several years ago. this permitted to grow by cpi with the board's concurrence. so, this is seeking your concurrence to about this flat dollar value fees to grow with inflation. that inflation is 3.81% for the year ahead it's about worth about $1.4 million annually which is assumed in the budget before you. item number 13, please do it ministry of duties that falls to us under the voter initiative creating neighborhood beautification fund. we had to do a

calculation every year in the controller's office to determine what amount of a business payroll were gross receipts tax they can voluntarily contribute to this program in order to reach a revenue limit that's established and a voter initiative. we performed a annalee. using a measure before us much before i calculation indicated business increase next year the percentage of their overall tax contribute it hear from 2.6 to 3%. each year as part of budget process one of the things we do in offices go through three different code records and asked us ourselves questions about difficult requirement reporting and ask ourselves if the still add value. we have often and using this from us in the past proposed illuminating different code requirements were we think frankly, it's turned into a task that takes time and paper but doesn't add value. so we proposed this year to eliminate a reporting requirement that each defendant has to file

annually with our office the clerk of the board, and the mayor. to report all their membership. this is less than 1/10 of 1% of city spending that that information is available electronically now whereas it wasn't 25 years ago when this was established. lastly, number 15, our certification of comptrollers office certification, that certain services to be provided a lower cost than with civil servants. they host of different services that are listed on the agenda. these are all continuing services. these are not new contracting out proposals but rather the continuation services that historically been contracted out. >> okay comments any questions or comments? supervisor yee >> thank you for your presentation. i am just curious, about your ftes. just some minor things, but they're going up basically by about 12 through next year and you are

presentation only accounts for six. i am just curious in going two years out, i see that you're anticipating that you are fewer people. what is the reason for that also? those two questions. >> good questions. i've highlighted some key initiatives on this slide that you reference. those positions which of the city services odder baseline. we do have a couple of other new proposed positions that increase our fte count per four of those are related to positions related to accounting internship program that we
