public comment is closed. i make a motion to continue this item until the next meeting of the budget and finance committee. could i have a roll call vote, please? ms. wong, i think you're muted. >> my apologies. on motion to continue item number 6 to the next budget meeting, walton aye. mandelman aye. fewer >> aarti:. -- fewer aye. there are three ayes. >> can you read number one of the budget and appropriations committee. >> yes. item number 1, hearing to review the budget process and related updates for the school years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 and requesting the controllers office and the budget and legislative analyst to report members of the public who wish

to provide public comment on this item should call the number across the screen, press 1 and 0 to speak. >> supervisor fewer: we have the mayor's budget office and our controller. >> good morning, supervisors. this is kelly kirkpatrick. i have a brief update for you all as i provided last week on the city's kind of current operational spending since last week as well as an update on state and federal relief. as well as the state budget outlook on the l.a.o. provided at a committee hearing last week, a look at the state budget. i'm going to do a screen shot to give you a highlight of the topics. all right. can you see that, chair fewer? >> supervisor fewer: yes, i can. thank you very much. >> wonderful. so update to our current year

direct operational spending of the city from last week we spent about $42 million. the majority of which you'll see is additional salary and benefit costs for city staff involved in the health crisis. as we've gotten to better understand fema reimburse, this is an accounting tracking as i've shared before. this is what departments have input as money that has gone out the door. so most of the costs for staffing is what i would call the people-power dedicated to our response. capturing people who have been reassigned or reallocated to doc or e.o.c. work. the majority of this is fema reimbursable. we expect them to include overtime, comp time and any new staffing added for direct health

crisis response. but we're working to just try to capture in the accounting system people's time dedicated toward this and we're working with the recovery team to parse out and make sure we're going to capture as much as reimbursable funding as possible. it's helpful to know how much staff time is being dedicated towards this response and the people-power i would say. additionally, we've spent checks out the door of $9 million to house equipment and safety supplies. this is up about $3 million from last week. it's almost all new p.p.e. for the department of public health. and then notably here as well, again, this is cash out the door, bills that have been fulfilled, about $5.7 million for a non-congregate shelter and other support services. this includes our non-congregate

sheltering and it represents some initial deposits and costs for april for hotels that have billed us. i know there is a lot of other contracting in the works, just wanted to show this money has come through and gone out the door for shelter support and non-congregate needs, as well as i.t. and other transportation needs in the department. last week the state announced a targeted program, a disaster relief fund for undocumented immigrants. $75 million represents the state's direct contribution. additionally $50 million will come from non-profit foundations. and this represents $125 million total for undocumented adults. it's estimated that 150,000

adults receive one-time payments of $500 with the cap of $1,000 per household. additionally, at the federal level, the senate passed -- as i'm sure we heard on the news -- another half billion dollars on small business and health care funding. and -- -- the majority of which is replenishing the $310 billion paycheck protection program. it's for small businesses to retain their workforce. the initial program for this was $350 billion and as we all know, the need far outpaced the funding available. there is additional funding for other types of disaster relief funds as well as $75 billion for hospital relief and $25 billion for testing and contact-tracing. that's another typo.

i apologize, we're working quickly. contact-tracing. and then the senate will resume in early may. it's our sense and the news is reporting that additional relief efforts will be discussed when the senate reconvenes. you know, the mayor as well as other local leaders and even state governors, including governor newsom are pushing hard at the federal level to ensure we have relief at the local level through the next cares 2.0. one thing of particular interest to this director and hopefully to the council is -- [inaudible] -- we have received $150 million for the first cares act for the operation directly related to new covid spending, but it does

not allow to backfill any lost revenue. that is a push. advocacy amongst ensuring that we have support of our small businesses and vulnerable populations who are disproportionately impacted. last week, the state l.a.o. provided a report at the senate budget committee hearing on the state of california's economy. l.a.o. reported and the governor stated that california has entered a pandemic-induced recession. the drivers of this are covid-related costs, higher benefit drawdowns. in california, people are eligible for various entitlement program based on income, so we have significantly more people drawing unemployment, medicaid which is additional costs to the

state and this is compounded by decreased revenues. the state is, as i'm sure we're aware, 12-15% of californians have lost their jobs which is contributing to these macro budget impacts. the budget shortfall, the upcoming fiscal year for the state to reach $35 billion. this is exceeds the state spending of $20 billion. and this revenue loss, according to l.a.o. is on par with revenue losses during the great recession. as a result, l.a.o. recommended that the legislature -- in the near term. it's kind of more messaging we've been sharing over the last couple of weeks. it will take us several months

to get a fuller picture of the impact on our budget of this dual increased costs and community need with a rapidly shrinking and diminishing revenue. the l.a. oo., similar to what we're planning for with the support of this committee, has moved their budget process back by a couple of months to allow both of those things to happen. the l.a.o. has projected two different shapes to the economic downturn. in our march joint report update we provided two scenarios of recession. one was a v shape, meaning it was a rapid decline of revenue and a quick snap back. the l.a.o. provided two

scenarios and they're different letters. our high end scenario was the same as the one that includes a u-shaped downturn. so it was a more prolonged kind of impact, but there is a pronounced recovery kind of snapping the economy back. they've also presented something they're calling an l-shaped downturn. which is a sharp downturn with a slow resolution to the covid response. inadequate as they framed it and creating a protracted recession. as i said, it will take more time to understand the shape of this, but just trying to help people understand the potential or the magnitude that could come as result, depending on what the pandemic looks like in the coming months. in terms of expenses, the state

is estimating at least $6-7 billion of additional spending related to covid response. this does not include entitlement spending, for programs like medicaid or cal works or unemployment, but just like we've been saying at the local level, current federal funding will cover some covid-related spending, but not revenue losses. similar kind view of how this is impacting the state government like we're viewing it for our local budget. i just wanted to highlight that yesterday the mayor and the treasurer announced additional deferrals of various business-related fees. the newest one that we announced yesterday and that the mayor is introducing in an executive directive amendment this week is

extending the business registration fee deadline by four months. this is $49 million of deferrals that impact almost 90,000 businesses, the majority of which are small businesses in san francisco. we've also further delayed the unified license bill which includes many different departments such as food safety and fire safety permits and businesses will not be penalized by individual departments for not having paid these. it feels like a $14 million relief to our local businesses. we'll still ensure there is safe food and fire safety, but it's just the fee part by businesses providing that relief. and of course we've done a lot at the local level to help support our local businesses. i know there is a lot of need out there. but we've done -- we've done -- taken many different angles at

trying to support our small businesses, small business community. with that, i'm happy to answer any questions. or take any feedback for subsequent presentations that would be helpful to you all over the next couple of weeks. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. i see president yee in the queue. >> president ye >> president yee: thanks for the update. just curious, we have some information about the state unemployment. just wondering, do we have anything local? does san francisco in particular how badly this has hit the unemployment? >> that's a great question, president yee. i don't readily know that. that is an indicator that tends

to lag in terms of our ability to receive it. i can get something for you all next week. >> president yee: thank you very much. >> supervisor fewer: any comments or questions? i actually want to -- comment. we had a conversation, my staff and the controller's office about how we're filing for reimbursement. and i just thought it would be good information to share with the rest of the budget committee. i was concerned that the reimbursements will be lump sum coming in after we hit sort of the first wave and we wouldn't get reimbursement in a timely manner, but perhaps the controller office can explain the reimbursement and how we're filing for the reimbursements? >> sure. hi. this is the controllers office. i can speak a little bit to this

now. we're happy to provide more information at next week's meeting. in general, for our fema reimbursements, we're submitting a request every two weeks. i believe we've submitted at least two at this point, but we can confirm that. and there is a number of pieces of information that come into that, so it sounds like that would be more of the details about what we're collecting and how we're submitting that would be helpful for the committee. and we can definitely get that for you. >> supervisor fewer: i think that would be great. i'm wondering, are we able also to know ament 0 -- amount of reimbursements we're actually filing for every two weeks? >> i can tell you that the first one was for $26.5 million. i need to check on the subsequent. i don't want to tell you the wrong number. >> supervisor fewer: sure. i just meant ongoing for the budget committee. we're keeping close watch on

because of the budget deliberations in august about how quickly we're getting the reimbursements and an idea how we're replenishing the costs we're putting out. if we could have an update. and when you are submitting those requests for reimbursements, the amount of reimbursements. and then later on if we're receiving those reimbursements and reimbursements to date. >> sure, we'll definitely have that. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. any other comments or questions for the controller's office or the mayor's budget office? seeing none, this is open for public comment. any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 1 of the budget and appropriations committee? >> madame chair, operation is checking to see if there are any callers in the queue. operation, please let us know if there are any callers ready? >> madame chair, there are no

callers wishing to speak. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. public comment is now closed. i'd like to make a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. could i have a second, please? >> second. >> supervisor fewer: thank you, supervisor. madame clerk, roll call vote on the motion. >> on the motion to continue this item to the call of the chair, walton aye. mandelman aye. yee aye. fewer aye. there are four ayes. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. is there any other business before us today? >> no further business. >> supervisor fewer: we're adjourned. thank you very much.

>> the goal is simple. it's to raise women's voices. >> learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. >> we had own over 300 -- over 300 people who signed up for the one-on-one counseling today. >> i think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively.

the assessor's office is a big one. there are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in san francisco. one of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2.6 billion worth of revenue to the city. often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. for every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. but i think what most people don't know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public

education. so it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. so this is an incredibly important part of what we do in this office. it's an interesting place to be, i have to say. my colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. in my day-to-day life, i don't think about that role, being the only asian american assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of san francisco well. by being the only asian american assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. i hope by doing the best that you can as an individual, people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you,

can be from your background. i grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents, were immigrants to the united states. when my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. they had very little money, and they didn't know how to speak english very well. they came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i can't imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. so my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. as we grew up, we eventually had a small business. i very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. we went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling

egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out. it really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and viewing public service the way that i do. one of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. we lived in southern california at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. i can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. it was incredibly scary because we didn't know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. and i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. it stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a

responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. >> make sure to be safe, and of course to have fun. >> and then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long as you go back to your core, and you remember why you're doing what you're doing, you know, i think you can't go wrong. it's funny, because, you know, i never had thought i would do this. i became a supervisor first for the city under very unusual circumstances, and i can remember one day, i'm shopping with friends and really not having a care in the world about politics or running for office or being in a public position, and the next day, i'm sworn in and serving on the board of supervisors. for many of us who are going through our public service, it's very interesting, i think, what people view as a leader.

sometimes people say, well, maybe the person who is most outspoken, the person who yells the loudest or who speaks the loudest is going to be the best leader. and i think how i was raised, i like to listen first, and i like to try to figure outweighs to work with -- out ways to work with people to get things done. i hope that time goes on, you can see that you can have all sorts of different leaders whether at the top of city government or leading organizations or leading teams, that there are really different kinds of leadership styles that we should really foster because it makes us stronger as organizations. >> take advantage of all the wonderful information that you have here, at the vendor booth, at our seminars and also the one-on-one counseling. >> i wouldn't be where i was if i didn't have very strong people who believed in me. and even at times when i didn't believe in my own abilities or my own skills, i had a lot of people who trusted and believed i either had the passion or

skills to accomplish and do what i did. if there was one thing that i can tell young women, girls, who are thinking about and dreaming about the things they want to be, whether it's being a doctor or being in politics, running an organization, being in business, whatever it is, i think it's really to just trust yourself and believe that who you are is enough, that you are enough to make it work and to

>> the meeting for april 14, 2020 is now called to order. role call, please. pair
