and that is anticipated around march 1st. they still have some very specific items that are not resolved, so our damages continue to assess at this point that concludes my construction update for this month. >> thank you. any questions from the board? seeing non, thank you. >> all right. next item is item seven, the citizen advisory committee update. i wanted to note that i spoke with the chair and there was nothing new to report. >> okay. thank you. >> we will move into the next item which is public comment. opportunity for members of the public to address the board for matters that are arnot on the calendar. we do have mr. patrick. >> morning. thank you.

i wanted to call your attention to something that is important that i feel needs to be on your radar scope. this is a programming allocation committee report from the metropolitan transportation association committee. we asked for $400 million to proceed with the d.t.x. we got and received zero. i presume this will be approved. the question is, why? it says here two large projects, the d.t.x. and dumbarton real corridor weren't approved and the projects were not named in the framework as earlier projects were in their developing stage. why are we in the development stage? we are in the development stage because of this nonsense coming off of the metropolitan transportation -- that san francisco transportation committee of this loan. we are not -- we have not been

able to finish the engineering, in my opinion, to complete this job to apply for these funds, to move this thing along. here is a calendar for this year we have wasted it. we have 50,000 writers who want to get to downtown san francisco with the d.t.x. i believe it's time to stop fooling around. i think we should go out and see if we can't get commercial funding to finish this. we will no longer be paying leasing commissions because the space is just about least. take that money to pay the interest and package that thing as we move forward. let's not wait for these guys to do this job. you will be presented with a memo of some sort, and you know what it is? that is called a quid pro quo. take it or leave it.

i thank you had better be ready to answer that. number two, we have, mr. matt haney who has already left, and other people who sit on the same boards. one board is loaning money to the other board. it seems to me we need some recusal on this thing. it's just nonsense the way this thing is working. who are the losers? the losers are the people who ride the train to the fourth street and get off and have to walk downtown or take the bus. it has been going on for 50 years. i believe the d.t.x. is losing some of its mojo. we all know what momentum means. we will see that in the super bowl coming up. you supervisors, you board of director members need to increase that mojo, at the excitement to the d.t.x. so we get the funding to get it going. we have already lost six months.

i want to save this half of the calendar. please. let's get the d.t.x. up and going. thank you. >> that concludes members of the public that wanted to comment under that item. >> that concludes our agenda for today. meeting is adjourned and we will see everybody in february. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, everyone.

>> this the february 12, rescheduled meeting of the budget committee. i'd like to thank mr. cooley and miss mendoza for broadcasting this meeting. can i have a motion to ec accuse

supervisors xi and mandelman. we can take that without objection. madam clerk? >> please make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices and copies of the documents should be submitted to the clerk. >> madam clerk, can you please call the items? >> yes, i'd number one, hearing to consider the annual review and adop adoption and proposed t from 2021-2022 for office of the clerk of the board. >> we have our clerk, miss angela. >> members of the committee, chair and clerk of the board, herlast week, as you were contemplating our department's budget, there were two outstanding budgets we were to bring to you with the answers

having to do with the support to the youth commission and the classification for the aid. subsequently, the question regarding the classification for the force aid has been withdrawn and so today, we will just bring information regarding youth commission. >> thank you. >> so on this slide, the next slide, the youth commission staff have been making efforts and engaging youth in schools with limited resources. here you'll see that more resources would help with their outreach efforts. junko has been engaging with the stafthestaff to have them brings to us. as you recall, the charter does not allow compensation for the youth commissioners.

so in conjunction with the city attorney's office, we looked at a couple additional resources that would not violate the spirit of the charter and so, we have for you on this slide a couple of items for resources that would assist in bringing more served communities to the commission and by utilizing digital resources and collaborating with other youth-serving organizations, the youth commission could recommend an additional 5,700 and boost their outreach efforts for things like town hall events, printed materials, advertising and promotional items. and as far as compensation is concerned, as i said, the charter is clear and we cannot provide compensation or reimbursement. however, there are other ideas. for example, providing meals for their commission meetings and

committee meetings and it's one way to incentivize commissioners to attend meetings. they typically start at 5:00 a.m. and last an hour and a hal5:00 p.m. and last an hour aa half to two hours. that's the average of time and we're looking, perhaps at an additional 750. commissioners expressed and in attending training and conferences to expend knowledge and assist with development as youth leaders. a potential 7,000 is what they're requesting. lastly, youth's commission staff believe they're providing a small budget for three issues based committees to host own events to fulfill their charter mandated duties in a more impactful way and they're looking at 4,950 and if all items were approved, it could increase the youth commission's budget by 21,400 in fiscal year 2021.

i have to say that were many other items that the youth commission is requesting. however, we only brought forward those issues that pertained to the supervisor's question. the next slide provides the budget request which i just discussed a moment ago and you can see the total that we're providing is at 13,851 -- $35,000.251 for the proposed amount and if we go to the next slide, that does talk about overtime pay. i had an inquiry from the member of the board who was curious

about overtime pay for the administrative assistants and i wanted to put that information upfront. titen administrative assistants are on board and have clocked in. and on average, they're working 7.92 hours of overtime per aid, per pay period. so there's other detail there, but just wan wanted to put that. some administrative assistants are being paid overtime pay. while others are earning compensatory time. one has actually reached the fiscal year cap and so there is the blend that's occurring and the union rules allow for that to occur. it's 120 hours. so if there aren't any questions

about those two items, we'll talk about the summary of proposed changes and moving on to slide 6, if all the changes are approved in the department's expenditure budget, it would increase by 810,000. after discussion and public comment, if the committee desires to authorize this proposed budget to be submitted to the mayor and the controller, the action should be to move forward the budget to the mayor and controller. of course, in june, i'll be back to provide any details that might have changed between now and june and to certainty review all of this information with you once again. we're available for questioning. >> supervisor walton. >> thank you. i just wanted to say that i am 100% in support of the increases for the youth commission.

of course, i wish that we were able to compensate our young people for all of the th hours d time they put in. knowing that our youth commissioners take this work seriously and how much time they spend but i do appreciate you working with the city attorney's office in trying to figure out the things we can do to help support their work and so i do support that and i support the resources putting youth commission in the position to be able to market and advertise the things that they do and make sure we can get more folks on board or more diverse pools. so thank you so much. >> ok, thank you. supervisor mamd elmam. >> thank you for the presentation and for your creative solutions and challenges we present.

i do think as we go forward towards this 2020-2021 budget, in which we'll be hauling department heads in here and asking them about their overtime budgets and asking them to think about how they can get a handle on their overtime, that this board of supervisors needs to spend a little bit of time thinking about how we're using our overtime budget and thinking through, you know, what sor whas acceptable and what limits. because right now we have none. we're putting a budget in, but what happens if we blow through our overtime budget? >> at that point, i would like to my salary line and any funding in the salary line, it won't be auto losed t utilized r costs. >> at some point you would have to come to us for supplemental in overtime. i think just if this is many of

us are using significant overtime in our offices, we think of what kind of box to put that in. >> currently, supervisor, overtime or comp-time should be utilized if the employee has asked the supervisor or manager in this case or any case in our department in advance to tang te that overtime and comp time. >> absolutely, but that doesn't set -- you mean, we have infinite work. >> true. >> if we had a happy admin who wanted to work 80 hours a week, and would be happy earning that additional overtime and my constituents would be completely having that additional 40 hours of constituent response, there's no -- from the perspective of an individual supervisor, there's no reason why not to just completely, you know, respond to the constituents and spend as much as you can doing it. so i do think that it's a little

bit of a tragedy of the common situation or something and we should think about, ok -- >> happy to work with you on that. >> i think supervisor mandlenam brings up a good point where we add staff to city departments. we would hope that the effect would be they would be reduced overtime. and i mean, i think that this committee has themselves condemned, certain departments saying we have increased your fte account and we've given you more and now we see there's more overtime, so it seems as though we should sort of abide by our own philosophy, which is that now that we have more help, it seems as though it would be -- it's a little, i think, hypocritical to say than we would use more overtime. and so, anyway, just wanted to also say that i am in support of

the increase for the youth commission and i hope that with your ability to advertise, that we would actually bring in more youth commissioners that are from our public schools, from our housing projects, from some communities that have not been represented in the past and the youth commission. and fully in support of that and i believe, i would like to be given an opportunity right now for mr. o'donnel miss o'donnellp and make a statement from supervisor hainey's office. >> thank you, chair and members of the committee. i'm courtney mcdonald. i am here today to make you aware of a request that we have for the budget for the clerk of

the board and the board of supervisors and we recognise this is coming late in the process, but i did want to do our due diligence and make sure you're aware. as you probably though, last week, supervisors hainey, mar, ronan and preston asking that the clerk of the board for a competitive bidding process for a special investigator to conduct a really detailed review and recommendations for internal control of an oversight for departments that are susceptible to fraud. and we're very supportive of the investigation and auditing that the controller and the city attorney's are doing and we really, really look forward to working with them and we also think it's really critical that the board exercise its role and authority to exercise the power of inquiry and request that these investigations being conducted. so with that said, because this

proposal is really one that's in process with the news of the federal investigation coming relatively recently, so i want to recognise that the scope of what we're proposing is still very much in process and the board has not yet voted to move forward with the motion, but we hope that the board does and our reference would be to add a line item for $300,000, which is the estimate that the bla has helped us to come up with and what it would cost to conduct an investigation of this scope and we also recognise that you're moving forward with a proposal today and that that might be added or considered later on in the budget process. but again, just wanted to make sure that you are aware of the requests and if you were open to it to move it forward today. happy to talk any questions. >> so miss mcdonald, this proposal has not been voted on

by the full board, has it? >> that's right, it has not. >> so i'm going to just make a suggestion that we would consider this, i think, at the full budget and when it is once passed by the full board and that we know that it has been a mandate by the full board. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. this opens up for public comment. any members like to comment on this item? come on up now. public comment is now closed. >> no, no, i was just checking. so i know around 1993, there was a youth commission and one of the things this board has not done chro chron logically evalue
