schedule. and utility wrap ins are alread scheduled. the final completion is projected in september of this fire numti five,till completion ceremony was held on the 26, and that was capped by th pouring of the concrete and second and third floor. almost a month ago weoured the concrete slab on grate, and this project is tracking on completion and budget. completion is scheduled for december of this year.

[inaudible] >> good morning. my name is sherry katz, and i am the director of sometime exterior enve package four, the mpp went to the contractor on 5-14, and that's underway. f-bay door and ancillary work, bbr has completed about one fourth of those now. that's in completion for the special four-fold doors. up coming milestones, at bay door package three, there are ten fire stations, and the notice to proceed went to the contractor on may 9. roof package five, there are six fire stations, and that was -- that's in substantial

completion. envelope package two, fire station 24 and 34, that -- the bids are due this wednesday for those two projects? and showers package 2 will advertise in the next two weeks. >> my turn. i will come to you with fire station number 35 which completed concept design phase at the end of january and went middle of schematic design. we need to obtain a permitrom bcdc brb, and we scheduled our second presentation to drb on june 11, so we are in middle of preparations for that presentation. but the project is still on track, there are no major issues with the project at this point. and pier 26, a temporary

electrical work has been installed and one boat is able to moor at pier 26, and we are procng with security electrical and petere fencing which we anticipate to h ais end of june, beginning of july. and i will now turn it over to emergency -- to. [inaudible] >> david myers. >> -- to david myers, yeah. >> david myers, sfpuc, project manager. we are currentl waiting for an air quality monitoring panel to arrive for pump station one so we can install that and do some subsequent control panel programming so we can close that project out. we have four new diesel engines to drive the sea water pumps at pump station one, which also happens to be fire department

headquarters. so we hope to wrap that up in the -- roughly in the july time fr pump son two is our other major sea water pumping facility for the abss, and that project is in construction. dreing hazardous material abatement and historic arti fact preservation at the moment, and then we'll move trucintoral improvements that we plan to do in that building. we had intended to advertise or abss pipeline grochlt contract itoos l that'll be in june, and that involves a series of motorized valves including a new water supply on clarendon near summit

reservoir. for eser 2014, we are in construction on irving street pipeline. similarly withbury ash byp pipeline, we're waiting for that to get another way, a public works project and finally mariposa francois. and a good portion of that pipe is already installed on what's about -- which will eventually become the rhea lined terry francois boulevard. up coming milestone we're joining with a public works pipeline to connect on 19 avenue. and we have another project known as ingleside university mound. more pipeline. university mound is in the

eastern part of the city. ingleside is more in the southwest. we would be prepared to advertise that however as charles mentioned with the bidding environment and so on, other ex-pensions, we're having nbe able to evaluate whether we're able to execute that contract with the funds available, so we'll be able to close that out as we get more accurate projections on the various projects. any questions i may answer in thank you. >> i have one -- i have a question. >> please. >> so the high-pressure water system is -- these improvements you're doing at puc? and -- puc, yes, owns the asset >> not public works? >> we are performing t work and responsible for it, but several of our projects are part of a public works contract. for instance, paving or soing along those lines. so we join in to avoid disrupting an area multiple

times and to share in the instruction management costs. >> the cistern contracts -- >> those werll cistern, and ract. were all public works okay >> i would like to ask a question, if i may. >> oh, mr. bush has a question. >> i don't kow ift goes to you. arse which one of you is or meto responsible for which fire stations, what is road work having on the ability to get fire stations out of the trucks and get to where the fires are. >> commission ahe memb from the fire department

that is here that could respond. >> i know on the embarcadero, it's hard to get anyonem f the fire station. >> assistant fire chief anthony rivera. >> are you having problems because of traffic getting out of the faire station and where the fires are. >> throughout the city? >> along the embarcadero is what i'm aware of. >> so along the embarcadero it is challenging for engine 35 to respond. there has been an uptick in usage along will promede area. i don't know if you have seen the station. it's set back quite a bit, and we want to ensure that public safety is held in the, you know, highest regard. it is challenging at times, especially on the weekends or whether there's events for the fire engine to not only leave

the station but then to respond either north or south. along the embarcadero there's a lot of activity constantly going on, and honestly, it's throughout the whole city. a lot more activity around the. i'm not sure if it answers your question. >> well, only to the extent that building fire stations that are seismically correct and better suit the firefighters is important, but being able to get the fire trucks out of the station to where the fire is is equally important. >> absolutely. >> and i'm not sure who is whose responsibility that is to coordination. it can't obviously be the fire department by itself. it has to be mta. i'm just not sure in what way you guys coordinate on that stuff. >> right. so i think most of our stations have been in their locations foitea few years, and we have not built many new

stations other than, i believe, station four, which is the public safety building on 4th -- or excuse me 3rd and mission rock way. other than that, i can't think of any new stations where we would put, you know, w analyze response times. and if we did, i think we would work with mta and with dpw to come up with a location. >> i'm thinking about mitigation. do the -- to use my example, when cruise ships come in at the embarcadero, they shutdown the embarcadero so the traffic can't get there so that people can get off the ship and then go do what they're going to do and go back on. so there's a period of time which you cannot move on the embarcadero unless you're associated with thatise ship. do you have anything like that for an emergency that take place where you need to get the fire station out and does someone stand out in the road

and stop the traffic out there? >> so you're absolutely correct. there are times when the cruise ships come in and pd will shutdown a lane or even construction, so what we've instructed or drivers and officers is that when there is a lane ,hey a allowed to drive onto the muni street car tracks which go right down the center of the embarcadero. it's a little bit of a bumpy ride, but we don't mind. it gets us to the scene of the incident on time and a lot faster. >> thank you. >> all right. >> so for my colleagues, i remain frustrated that bond funds are -- general funds are actually being used for things like showers. this is more about the way this bond was written and what it's being used for. hihis is -- it feels likes is regular maintenance of these

buildings, and yet -- and from a governance perspective, i have no idea how to govern projects that are this small. and so i wasn't here last meeting and i guys did meet with a capital planning gr things that i wanted to talk to them about. and it's my fault, but i think it's very frustrating to try and understand this bond. it's just the way the bond is writte and the way we're u thist find it appropriate use. >> should i take that as a question or -- >> no. i think this is for my colleagues unless you want to talk to how this bond was written. i think you're executing on it the best way you possibly can, and i think it's a very responsible way you're executing on it? i'm just wondering why we're using capitaldsn is . >> well, for the use of bon

funds we're compelled to engge capital work a bit. it's a sustained life of 25 or more years, and so when we do an intervention in a facility, it is with that eye towards that. we don't do a fix-it projects or sple mntenance projects. that's not the scope of this -- of how we apply the bfunds. >> okay. are you updating showers? e a rhenvating showers for another 25 years of expected usefullife. te w you this -- >> again, not -- yeah. >> -- fire stationsin particular are distinguished among many other facilities in the city in that they are both aces of residence and deployment of first responder individuals. >> oh, i don't have a problem -- showers should exist there and all that. i have a whatd seem like we have should funding i

the fire department to support their buildings. normal maintence in their fw buildings. and so now instead of building a new fiartmreept or new housing or new parks, we're using this for things that i think the bond fund shouldn't be used in. and again, i think this is the way the bond was written and presented t the voters. i don't think tatuysou are using it -- yeah, differently th was expected, what was written for, so that's why i think it's a capital programs thing, saying we should actually fund it at our departments. they should have enough funding to employ ongoing maintenance of their facilities. >> i think they would all agree with you. i will say as the liaison, i have had ongoing conversations with charles and his staff. i think with regards to showers, they're not going in and repainting them or fixing this faucet or that, they're actually replacing, and they're

replacing a number of them, so contractually they kind of mee the requirements, and i think that the staff are well aware that when these requests came in for projects that if they look like maintenance, those need to be run by the public finance office and the city attorneys to make sure that they meet the criteria. but it is of certain and also you know having bond funds more specifically defined what the go out, we've had that discussion, as well, so i agree with that. >> i'd just like to put a footnote in that when i was working in the mayor's office 30 years ago, we had discussions about showers, because there weren't too many women who are firefighters, so there was concerns about having s r all the firefighter population. so i can understandeed to reconfigure fire stations to allow for the diverse populations that need to be

served now out of the station. that doesn't mean ordinary maintenance, as you're saying. >> i would just like to add that i share the concern because one of the things that i saw when i -- in reviewing this is, you know, apparatus bay doors. and so they're not new -- the idea that a fire house has apparatus bay doors, the house gets called, goes into automatics, apparatus bay door opens. they've been on fire houses in san francisco the last 80 years. they're automatic. they are not originally installed doors. ey've -- they've been maintains and removed and replaced in the past without a bond. so it gets a little hazy whether it's maintenance or capital improvement that that is, you know, a component of a

structure that has outlived its life like shower installations or change in use because of the occupancy. you know, apparatus doors are in every other fire house. so at some point, every sippng apparatus door clearly has to be removed and replaced in the fire department -- and in the police department, for that matter. so again, no reflection on the administration of the bond dollars or the work performed, but it does -- i do share the concern that at what point is that routine maintenance -- d be inside a departmental's b or an expeurhat warrants a bond expenditure. >> i was just going to briefly highlight for the committee part of what you do each year

is you report to the board of supervisors and the mayor regarding your observation on the progress of these programs. the issue that you're raising here has been highlighted y the committee in the past? it's really a direction that's not noted at the departments here today. it's rather a general observation that enhanced funding for kind of renewal needs and city facilities will take pressure off of future general obligation bonds and room within the program. so you will have that up, i believe, at your next meeting to discuss, and the committee could make a similar kind of point to the mayor and the board as part of this year's process. i'll next ask lisa zoe to come forward. she's the project manager for police facilities. >> thank you, charles,or f the introduction. good morning, everyone. so for the 2014 police

facilities program, we have a total of 15 total projects, of which six have already been completed? there's five projects that's ly ucu construction ject oin the final award phase. there's also two projects in the design phase, and one cancelled project? so onto the status of the various projects with recent accomplishments. m.e.p. package two, which is the mechanical, electrical and plumbing system upgrades and tenderloin police stations, it four bids wer received in february ? we will be awarding this project to the lowest bidder? the next project is the police facility renovation project. it includes structural strengthens, roofing replacement, etcetera. it was approved by dbi and the design phase has been concluded. next project is the northern

police station richmond police station and taraval police station renovation. it's under construction, and the contractor is moving along, and they have completed the site and drainage work at richmond police station. they've also -- are close to 80% done at northern police station. and the next project is the lafirearon training facility at the lak merce range? the modular building was fabricated at an off-site facility and it was delivered and shipped to the site and placed on a foundation that was built by a different contractor. that work was completed and the mission police station renovation which is a structuralening project at th station is -- has completed 65% design? it's actually further along now, with upcoming mile stones on the various projects, the firearms simulators training facility was supposed to achieve completed construction

in april 2018, b due to some late discoveries during nstruction, it's now going to be completed this month, and it's actually substantially completed. and the building is done. the simulation system was installed and has been, you know, setup and it's working? next project is the park and ingleside policstatio renovation. the contractor had mobilized in april and they're actually in active construction right now? mission police station renovation. we're to complete bidding documents in may, which now it has been completed. m.e.p. package two, which is the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrade at bayview and tenderloin were to issue ncp within the next two weeks. any questions, i'd be happy to answer them? >> any questions or comments? >> thank you?

>> here i am again to report on office of the chief medical examiner. as charles mentioned, the specifically final completion occupancy was received on march 30? building was open to -- for operations on november 6 of last year, and we literally , a ew items on the punch list by contractor to finish and then we are collecting unconditional waivers. we anticipate issuance of the city certificate of acceptance hopefully end of june. it before we move on the next , i would just like to extend our congratulations to the staff on -- on an excellent job on a marvelous project on getting it done on time and on budget and inside the scope. >> and if i may add -- >> well done. >> -- we picked up an award on cmaa on friday, yeah,

construction management association of america for the majorovatio project on the west coast. >> congratulations. >> i'd love to see it if we do any tours. facility?like to tour the can arrange that. >> good morning. i'm the public works project manager for the traffic company and forensic services division. so my project is quite at the other end of development from the medical examiner's building. this slide is through march. there's been some significant development since that , so i will update the bullet points as i work through it. hazardous materials abatement, complete. the contract issued to azul works, the general contractor responsible for that work.

as charles mentioned a little bit earlier, the old parisian bakery building is demolished. the building is levelled, so it's the first real tangible site of accomplishment at that site at the corner of evans and toland. the constructionanar general coractor, clark construction, was given an ntp nr . proje a fairly unusual delivery method in that the cmgc comes on board with what we're calling a core trade subcontractor team. there's two phases of pr preconstruction services. the first phase we're in right now is solidifying to help bring the project to budget and their expertise as buildings.

the first task cmgc team accomplished was to deliver an estimate of the schematic design that the architects are produced, and this is a design that had already gone through a significant overbudget redesign, reducing the estimated cost of the project by over $12 million last year, so those documents were issued with the rfp to bring on the cmgc team. clark and their team delivered this estimate in mid-january with an unpleasant surprise of a $30 million overbudget scenario, which we have taken on since then through cost reduction and value engineering to reconcile the budget. on april 30, i presented to the capital planning committee the work that we've accomplished which reduced that $30 million overbudget scenario to just

under $7 million, and that led to -- with some escalation added to that to buffer some of the value engineering exercises that we still have to go through it request for additional funding coming from the capital planning for just under $9 million, which would be -- w met with support. we have value engineered the building twice now, and part of the presentation was that to close that last gap would only dhroh program reduction from the facility, and it's -- that is not something that was supported by the police department and the capital planning committee agreed that this was not a facility to do that, and that it would be supported to close that last gap. in addition to that, other progress being made, i state here in the bullet points that the site permit review is at the planning department. they've since cleared the

planning department and is back at the department of building inspection, and we are hopeful that that will be released in july this summer. the upcoming milestones, i believe i touched on the cmgc, the reconciliation. any questions? >> one question. the capital planning committee -- you said approved the 9 million -- just under 9 million for the additional costs. does that then go to the board

of supervisors for a general fund supplemental appropriation? >> it's not -- with a supplemental appropriation, it was approved by the capital planning committee as part of the generalund budget for the two year budget, so it will be included in the budget that goes forward from the mayor to the board of supervisors on june 1. >> thank you. if there's no questions on th project, then i'll just say as the liaison to this easr 2010 and 2014, i did meet with the staff on may 7 and went through the summary reports in addition to the detailed reports, and i want to thank all the staff for the work they've done on this. it's broad, there's a scope of the entire two programs is huge, but i believe they are moving it forward and the city will benefit from the work

that's being done. so thank you. >> thank you. thank you, commissioner, fore those kind words. we have two final slide which i'll go through quickly. the first is our status of budget and financial plans. you can see we're substantially expended and appropriated at 89%. there's a few projects that you've heard about this morning that are the balance of the work to occur, and we will be wrapping that workup within the year. >> well, yeah, i will comment on that because iain the data there on expenditures is not current, it's not comple and it's not accurate. i appreciate very much the controller's, ben's, comments, that next time around, by the end of june, we'll start getting some reports because i do think there's significant -- that's our primary goal is to overview expenditures to make

sure they're in compliance with the bord au anat without reports, which literally cannot do that. >> thank you. and consistent with that, we are appropriated at 56% and expended at 29, er,or ace year 2014. and with that, we conclude our report and invite any additional questions or discussion you'd like to offer. >> any other questions from the committee? so seeing none, we'll open it to any public comment. seeing none, let's go onto the next item. >> clerk: item seven, presentation from recreation and parks about the 2008 and 2012 parks bonds and possible action by the committee in re to such presentation.

>> okay. great. good morning, committee members, controller penn. i am the interim director of capital and planning for san francisco rec and general parks. with me is somebody from the finance team and port. we'll beoing this presentation together. i'll try to keep this really brief. the first slide, there's only one active project, which is now in closeout from the 2000 bond, which is render museum. there is minutial fund balance remaining which we are waiting to close out through accounting

abatements. next. the next slide is from the 2008 sort of bond. all of 13 neighborhood parks are complete and open to the public. the only 2008 program still to be completed are the trails and forestry program. rec and park staff are evaluating the remaining balance from the 2008 trails program which we will make a plan for expenditure within this quarter. i would also like to sort of mention there was a finding in march 2018 from the controller's office that the department's expenditures were spent in accordance with the authorization granted by the voters in original bond ballot

measure. next slide. this is the thrust of our work at this moment. this is the 2012 park bond slide. with the opening of the moscone recter in march, s of the 14 voter approved neighborhood parks projects are now open to the public. the schedule for the seven remaining neighborhood park projects are listed on this slide. 90% of the first and second bond issuance allocated for the neighborhood parks program have been either spent or encumbered. the sale of the third issuance which just occurred this past april will allow us to start construction on the phase two portion of our projects. potrero hill is scheduled to start construction in july, and

the one in chinatown will begin construction in august. our goal is to complete eac of our neighborhood parks projects by 2019 except for margaret hayward and rossi pool which will be completed in january 2020. next. this slide shows some of the our highlights of our citywide programs. we're making progress in let's play program. there are six projects that's coming out of that program, which is to rhenvate play backgrounds throughout the city. we are slated to start construction on most of these projects late this year. mclaren park, we had a really

successful community process from -- which completed this past fall. coming out of that process itself were some priority projects which we intend to embark upon this fall. this will be renovation to the courts, this rest room is planned. for the group picnic, jerry garcia pool, trails, paths, community garden. we've also started construction on the spanish street edge. that work is ongoing. next. this next slide sort of shows the recent milestones we had. this is mclaren bike park which opened a couple months ago.

west sunset also, which is one of our big projects. that's another success. moscone opened about a month ago. there's another project at balboa pool which is currently in construction which is slated to complete in fath of this year. as i mentioned, the sale closed on the third and final issuance in april of this year. this allows us to proceed with the phase three portion of our bond projects. those include margaret hayward, rossi. in addition to that, i'd like to mention that we are sort of initiating efforts for bond

planning. we just started our life cycle projects, which is the assessments of all of our assets in our portfolio. it's approximately an assessment of over 54 million square foot of space, both horizontal and vertical assessme the intention is sort of twofold. one is to help us innd planning, and two is to sort of help our preventative maintenance efforts also such that we are moving from a more reactive sort of way of doing maintenance to a much more proactive way, which means, for example, our staff are able to plan much more intentionally when there has to be roof replacement, mechanical sort of

updates to mechanical equipment, pumps, and so on and so forth. in addition, we just also sort of backfilled two project managers due to losses. they are on board. we're excited to have them on board. and antonio will continue to work on reconciliation. i will t it over to david from port to finish the presentation. >> david belfrey with the port of san francisco. highlight on both the 2008 and 2012 parks bond. since we've submitted the report we've comte an additional project which today you'll haveeived e-mail for a ribbon cutting this friday, a project we've been coordinating with the arts department. we're happy it's completed. with the 200 # will bond, we've

got one park remaining, crane copark. 2012 bond parks, we've completed cruise terminal plaza. we're in the midst of completing -- [inaudible] >> -- and yslais creek. crane copark, we're expecting completion at the end of 2018. that is due to -- crane cove park, we're expecting completion at the end of 2018. that bid is out on the street now and hoping to award bids in june, if we miss the inwater work, it delays the project 'cause we can only do

construction in that window that we have. oner new aspects of the 2012 bond,he yslais creek project continued to be delayed because of other infrastructure projects in the area, primarily the 3rd street bridge, and we've decided to take and reallocate $1.5 million of those funds to ada at herron's with that, i'm available for any questions. thank you. >> a question. >> easepl let me just add, mr. tonnisson who is the committee member

responsible for oversee of this bond did meet with staff mbersrom recs and parks, however due to an accident, he broke his ankle, he s regrets that he will not be here to give his report. so mr. hughes, please proceed. >> umm, so, yslais creek is held up due to a puc facility and the 3 street bridge, and i understand that. >> yes. >> and so 1.5 million is going to go to herron head park. when yslais creek is no longer held up by the puc or whatever facility it is, does the 1.5 llion magically reappear? what happens to yslais creek park. >> >> we're hoping we can fund that with 2019 bonds, and we're

hoping we've done further due diligence on the feasibility of the project as well. >> any other questions? >> thank you. i have one other question about park facilities for children who have handicaps or disabilities, there are some places around the country that do excellent work where kids have an opportunity to play and enjoy a park, whether they're -- have visual problems, vision problems or whether they're mobility problems. what is going on in san francisco in that regard? >> thank you for -- for that question. all of our projects do have to be evaluated by an ada coordinator to ensure that we are meeting the current codes and standards for facilities that we are -- that we're working on meet those standards.

>> that's sort of a minimal standard. i'm talking about a standard that actually gives kids an opportunity to explore and experience things the way children without disabilities have. there's specialquipments that go into parks, there's special facilities that are put in. it's different than just not having an obstruction in the passage way. >> right. right. for example, at some of our pools now, we are actually ensuring that folks with disabilities are able tort access our pools, which was impossible in some of our older pools. so i -- that's what i would say. >> no, i guess i'm looking for, at some point, a report that takes into account not just removal of barriers but the enhancement of opportunities for kids who have disities.

>> sure. i mean, if i can come back to tt o provide a --rt >> maybet's not part of the bond. i mean, i just want to know. >> i mean, programatically and in terms of our programs, we're making sure they're accessible, in terms of our playgrounds, in terms of our pools, our rec centers, they are accessible. >> thank you. any other comments? ank you for thepresentation. i'll now see if there are any public comment to this b presentation. seeing none, can we move to the next item? >> clerk: item eight, opportunity for committee members to comment or act on y matters within the commit's jurisdiction, and they are a, website redesign, b, up coming

issuances: public finance, c, an, , expenditure year 2018-19 audit, and e, bond project public satisfaction survey.

[inaudible] >>. >> good morning, committee members. sorry about the delay. i'm peg stevenson from the controller's office, and just to refresh everybody's memory, aunder this item, you number of things on your work plan that we've been assisting you to kind of move forward, updating processes and making progress on your priorities during the fiscal year? so -- and then, you've had the opportunity -- there's a number of things on this agenda item, you're rotating them in ihe different meetings to address them, you know, when they're timely. you don't have to address every item every time. so in the preparation of this agenda with the chair, we are going to comment on the website redesign. you'll have your forward calendar for debt issuance. we'll comment briefly on our work plan process which is going on for fiscal year 2019 now, the expenditures audit, and the public satisfaction survey that we discussed.

so we touched briefly on each of these items and then of course come to any questions that you have. on the website redesign, i am -- i'm not going to show it now, but it is live and ready to be viewed. i think on friday, our staff finished moving the last of your archival materials into the new archival format. when we talked about this at your last meeting, you just mate one request, to augment the designs that we had showed you before, which was to add a public comment form into the website, whic is,again, very common for bodies like this and other agencies. so we had the designer add a public comment form, and we need to work out a process in the controller's office for making surhat the mailbox that it leads to is monitored regularly and comment is appropriately included in your materials or meeting item.

so it is done. both websites will be live for a little while until we're 100% sure that all the links are operational, and then we'll turnoff theld website. so after this meeting is over in the middle of the week, i'll just check with my staff to make sure they've finished transferring all the archival materials materials. i'll send you out a link to the new website. i'm certain all the materials have been tested, and certainly when we meet again, you can give me any update. format at time, but i thinkd you'll be pleased with the improved simplicity, and you have a long, long list of agendas and archival materials that are hard for anybody to sort through, even me. in the front page format you'll

see archival materials. it's a nice, clean format, and i'll educational background u i'll send you the links out and then we can take any feedback fro y ahe next meeting. [inaudible] >> yes. it's -- [inaudible] >> you won't have to do that. e l itted inhe places where it is now, there'll be a link from the controller's office. there'll be a link from the general list of all city agencies that's on sfgov, and it's a standard web browser, so... [inaudible] >> no. the fewest clicks possible is always our goal. blicpu finance, i don't know if anna wants to comment on the sheet that was included in your packet for the formal debt calendar.

>> sure. good morning, members. included in your committee packet was a schedule of anticipated issuances for fiscal year 2019 as well as the estimated board of supervisors consideration date of the financings, and then, the estimated close date. you'll t t about 165 million. i'm also pleased to repor as was noted earlier, that our series 2018 c, d, and e bonds are scheduled to close for this wednesday, may 23, in the morning. and that total par associated with those three financings is approximately $382 million. i'm happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. you may continue, peg.

>> next, our work plan for fiscal year 2018-19. and again, i won't go into these slides in a lot of detail because you all have been on the committee long enough to be fami wourlanning process, buly, ao for the public, just to refresh your memory, we are a creature of charter appendix f, there's a requirement for.02% set aside for city budget. that means we get a transaction and work order. our large departments in the city are our big clients. the general fund is the largest client, thelilth departnt next, and on down in size. we do work with and for them, and w bill them for our hours and costs, just like a consulting firm would. if we don't spend the money from that department, it goes back to the department that it came from or it gets carried

forward if they want another large project in the next fiscal year, but that's roughly how it work does. in anticipation of eac upcoming fiscal year, we go through a process of steps. we consult with a variety of stakeholders in the city's management ranks. we talk to other people from the mayor's office, members of the board of supervisors, civil grand jury reports and things like the d.o.j. report. that's sort of the 30,000-foot level. we've stepped through a series of meetings with all othe client departments where we talk to the department head and then a couple layers down among program managers for a large department discuss operating environment with them, issues that are coming up, audits that have been done in their departments and look at the large things that are changing in that department, and we draw

ideas together, we vet them, we make a guess as to the size and complexity, and then, we populate a work plan with what becomes a couple of hundred line items of different audits and projects. and then we go through a series of balancing steps to fit our -- the projects that have been asked for to the budgets that are coming from city departments into our staffing capacity. part of our process of developing this work plan is conversation with you and listening to your meetings during the year and the request thatou're making that touch the bond programs, improvements that are wanted, listening to your commentary about things like the city's benchmarking sites, which we also manage. it may not look that way, but i'm always here and taking meetings notes during your conversations and trying to figure out how they flow into things like our dashboards, for example.

we've got a lot of work in improving the city's performance of dashboards, and score cards. housing is an important to you, and we've done a lot of work during the year in trying to improve the information on the city's housing production. this is complex information. lots of different departments touch it, and the definition of affordable and the other programs, and then which units meet the criteria of having been completed, so we've developed a better, more transparent view of housing production in the city and that's linked to your conversations on it. the next couple slides, i think just again comment on the -- just go back a coup mark. i mean, just for your kind of thing aware o le e's a slide which shows the sizes of our budget so you can see, again, general fund department -- no, the next one. general fund as a whole is the

largest one, department of public works, mta, andn everybody gets smaller after that. just for a sense of scale. our staff size is -- i think we're now 6 -- what did i say? 68 people? and we have a couple hires that know will happen during the year, so again just to give you a sense of scale, a few more auditors than performance scale staff. the budget breaks down to about $18 million in the operating budget. and then during any one fiscal year, we also get about $2 million from the bond programs. and we allocate our costs so the expenditures audits, the things like the change order work that they did, and the work that we're doing with and for you on the public satisfaction survey, those costs will be allocated across the bond so n, that's just to give you a sense of scale. and then i just have a couple of slides on kind of what's

upcoming in fiscal year 18-19, and then mark will come and do that for audits, as well. our upcoming programs, many of you have seen up coming things on this. we've added a couple of new and important products during the past couple of years. our manager deserves a lot of credit for her leadership in developing the staff that have run this program well. performance score cards, so this is, i think now 80 measures, which is -- that's still a lot, but it goes across all the city's program areas to report on the things that are most critical and have highest public interest. expanded benchmarking. i think we've published five benchmarking report does, and we have one more to go which will be released this week or next. and again, i recommend if you have a few minutes to page through those. they're now in microsoft b.i.

they're nicely interactive. you can change the time periods that you want to view. depending on what the issue area is, there's interesting toggles that lets you adjust the data. we do a lot of coaching to try and bring all city departments gheir performance measurement and presentation of it. we have a couple of programs which are called for under the charter, reporting on the city's streets, parks, and sidewalks. we have very specific set of standards. we go out and do inspections, and then we publish an annual report which you'll have seen a couple of times. in fiscal year 2018-19 we're going to go through a process with the department of public works and other stakeholders to

update the street standards for a lot of different reasons. there's a lot of interest among this among elects officials, members of the public. we think our street standards need a revamp, things like the sharps and needles and the homeless encampment standards, and we'll be doing that in a consultive process during the first part of the fiscal year. citywide nonprofit monitoring and accountability. if you read any of our reports, we publish a study of reports in compliance for the nonprofits, whether they're meeting the standards or not. lastly, we have two sort of sets of teaching programs. data academy is mostly very straightforward, teaching in

softwares that most people need to know how to use, we teach tableau, excel. we are teaching a shortours c in software teaching use just to raise the skill level in the city government. and then, the lean program, which is now, i think at pretty full maturity where we've taken lean principles and a lot of the jargon out and embarking on partnership programs other city agencies that are run through lean, which i am very positive about this program and would talk more about it at a future time if you're interested just because the chances of sort of continuous improvement continuing in an agency after our project is done and our staff is no longer working with th ao lot better after we started developing this method

and design of how to train people and started doing our own analysis and improvement. things on the next slide to make you aware of in the next fiscal year. department of health is underway with a newlect enic health rds system this is a huge project. i think it's going to be more expensive than the peoplesoft project. it as you can imagine, it's complicated for all kinds of reasons. thousands of users and facilities, privacy, hipaa compliance, and so we're working with them so that the city's performance and financial offices can stay in sync with the process that's he p lic hh dertment. we always have projects to maximize revenue with them and to improve patient's and
