>> this is easily our most volatile revenue in the city. it's paid at the moment properties change hands and given the -- given the changes the voters have adopted, we have higher rates that becomes a key driver of what the tax looks like. and the rate at which those changed hands is very uneven. you can see here what that performance looked like in recent years. and you can see how jagged and volatile this tax can be. in '08-'09 at the beginning of the last recession, we had a year that we received $50

million for an entire year. and you can see the improvement we've seen since then, largely driven by both rate increases and more transactions of downtown office, hotels, and other large commercial properties. there were times in '16-'17 where in a single month we received more transfer month than we did in the entirety of '08-'09. so we've had a remarkable run-up. you can see we hit a peak of $400 million last fiscal year. and now you can see how far we've fallen off from that peak in the current year. now we're estimating $257 million in transfer tax for the current year. that's $150 million loss versus the prior year, which was that extraordinary peak, and it's being driven by the pace that commercial properties trade hands. >> supervisor ye

>> supervisor yee: can i ask a follow-up question. i guess transfer taxes are more unpredictable but i'm surprised for the property tax, i would have thought it would be a little more predictable. it's good that we have more money, but i'm surprised that we're that off in terms of estimating it. >> so what's been driving property tax, which is definitely more stable than transfer tax, the improvement we've seen is the rate by which the assessor's office has worked through their prior year bills. so we've had a remarkable amount of property changing hands in the city. all of that property needs to be assessed by the assessor's office and it adds it to the roll going forward. so there's been a backlog of property tax bills to be worked. this has been true in the city for many years. and what's driving that passenger, the assessor's office

is working through the backlog more quickly than we've expected. so that's adding more money to the roll than what we expected than what we thought to be the case. >> supervisor yee: kudos to the assessor. >> i agree. i will note where we'll end the current fiscal year on transfer tax and into the fiscal year is a key tax for us. the good news in revenues drives improvements to our baseline contributions. so some of the improvement you're seeing here in taxes is driving smaller increases or improvements to the transfers that were required to send to the m.t.a., the library, the schools, children, open space, and other funds. and there are more details about the specific values for these in terms of department operations, this is showing you

a summary of both revenues and uses for our largest departments. again, there is much more detail in the report itself. the number that sticks out on this page is $80.5 million for the department of public health, which is what is driving the bottom line improvement of $84 million. of that $80 million, it represents a $48 million improvement from our projection just three months ago. and almost the entirety of that improvement or $39 million of that change is being driven by a large, one-time payment we've received associated with the aca expansion population that the federal government has modified the timing of how the payments occur. rather than receiving one payment this year, we actually received two payments this year. and that will not occur in the future, but for this year, it's

two payments and that single act drives a $39 million variance. there's a lot more information in the point, but i know you've had a long meeting. this is a good news report, again, being driven by the department of public health. it substantially reduces the deficit for the fiscal year. now we're 10 months through the fiscal year, so we're more comfortable with -- we're projecting a shorter window to arrive at these numbers there. is so uncertainty with in particular transfer tax and volatility at the general hospital. and other things are creating uncertainty when it comes to public health revenues. and our next update from our office will be what we call the revenue letter, which is our commentary following the mayor's

budget in early june regarding the revenue assumptions in the coming two years. with that, i'm happy to answer any questions you might have. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. you answered my question about transfer tax. also answered the question that i had around the volatility around zuckerberg general, and that has to do with the cost of service. we have more people accessing department of public health resources than anticipated. is that what it was? >> public health revenues in the current year have outperformed the budget, if we look back to the original budgets today. and it's being driven by a number of things. a census at the general hospital that's higher than budgeted. more patients mean more payers. the coverage ratio of those that have insurance versus those that don't is continuing, which is a multiyear trend.

so the hospital is receiving more revenue, and some of that is associated with the aca as well. and in this report, you have a very large, one-time payment, which is from the federal government associated with the medical association. so those are the drivers in the variance. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. do you have any questions for the controller? all right. thank you i have much. -- thank you very much. let's take public comment on item 7. any member of the public that would like to comment on item 7, controller's nine-month budget status report. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you for your presentation. is there an action on this? can i get a motion to -- supervisor yee or stefani. supervisor stefani made a hearing to file this hearing as heard, seconded by yee. we're taking it without action. is there any other business before this body?

>> clerk: that completes the agenda for today. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. we are adjourned. >> i came to san francisco in 1969. i fell in love with this city and and this is where i raised my family at.

my name is bobbie cochran. i've been a holly court resident for 32 years. i wouldn't give up this neighborhood for nothing. i moved into this apartment one year ago. my favorite thing is my kitchen. i love these clean walls. before the remodeling came along, the condition of these apartments had gotten pretty bad, you know, with all the mildew, the repairs. i mean you haven't seen the apartment for the program come along. you wouldn't have believed it. so i appreciate everything they did. i was here at one point. i was. because i didn't know what the outcome of holly court was going to be.

you know, it really got -- was it going to get to the point where we have to be displaced because they would have to demolish this place? if they had, we wouldn't have been brought back. we wouldn't have been able to live in burn. by the program coming along, i welcome it. they had to hire a company and they came in and cleaned up all the walls. they didn't paint the whole apartment, they just cleaned up the mildew part, cleaned up and straighted it and primed it. that is impressive. i was a house painter. i used to go and paint other people's apartments and then come back home to mine and i would say why couldn't i live in a place like that. and now i do.

student who was a cute little 6-year-old but he was clinically depressed. he came from a traumatized background and i remember telling my supervisor i don't think i can teach this child to read. she said you are a reading teacher, teach him to read and see what happen. i was able to teach him to read and write and he reached proficiency and somewhere his self-esteem shifted and it was part of him turning the corner. dition to receiving the award that you are receiving, i would like to nominate you all for psychologist of the year, social worker of the year.

sharing with you the information that the board of education received recommendations from a joint district family union assessment community which includes i limb natio eliminatie assessment, so brought we forward and that means less teaching and more learning. that is a gift to you of time. i know that is really stretching it, but i had to put it in. [laughter] one last form of appreciation which you are all aware, appreciation can and should mean a living wage, so i'm shameless.
