so with that the next two are under our aging adult services program so i'll give anne hinton director of dos opportunity to talk about those two. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i actually thought i would take a minute and draw your attention back to page 5 and the slide that trent was referencing, the adult services department at 1.73.6 million. and just to say that we're divided into four divisions, trent mentioned ihss program which serves about 20,000 san franciscans but we also then, a second part of our department is the protective services, which is adult protective services, the public guardian, pa, and so on. we also are -- house the older americans act programs under the agency on aging and veterans services. so that's a third division. the fourth is long-term care services and support and that primarily relates to transitional care, the community living fund and division and community integration programs. so then taking you back to slide seven and those last two items, so try to connect the dots a little here. the ihss memo of effort, this is part of governor brown's coord

hinton and cfo for being here. if we could continue this item to the call of the chair.o so without opposition. so moved. mr. clerk, do we have any other items? >> the clerk: that completes the agenda. >> chair farrell: we are adjourned. >>> good evening, everybody. if i can have everybody's attention for a few minutes. we would like to welcome you to the reopening of our visitor information center here in san francisco. it's a real great occasion for us. we enjoy seeing it today than the way it was before. many visitors especially international visitors get off the bus at the airport and come here as their very first stop looking for information from san francisco. we get over 400,000 people to come here to learn about what to do in san francisco. i think the changes which i'm going to talk about in san francisco. it's brought the feeling of the city in san francisco and the region into the building and it's a positive experience for us and the visitors and the volunteers who spend so much time here. so i would like to crews right now the mayor who has been a great part

. >> chair farrell: i want to recognize chief financial officer who is here as well as ann hinton from the head of our department of aging and adult services. thank you for being here. >> thank you. to start off with our reduction plan which is small when you keep in mind that our budget overall is over $730 million. so our 3% general fund target is about -- under $1.4 million, that we can meet in 13-14 and 14-15 with increased revenue, principally from the state, and then some non-salary underspending, just scoring those savings and that's typically in the contracts area. so there's no service impact or staffing impact for meeting our reduction target. so this shows our budget in the current year, and then the budget year, in 13-14 and breaks down what the human services agency looks like. you know that the human services agency is comprised of two city departments, department of human services and department of aging and adult services. the yellow slice there represents the admin support for both departments. so basically they support -- the department of human services and departmen

hinton and cfo for being here. if we could continue this item to the call of the chair.o so without opposition. so moved. mr. clerk, do we have any other items? >> the clerk: that completes the agenda. >> chair farrell: we are adjourned. >>> i'm maria, executive director of the transit joint powers authority. i can't tell you how excited i am to be here on this special occasion. congratulations, everyone, we did it. before i jump to remarks i wanted to recognize senator boxer along with senator feinstein and pelosi has been extremely helpful to helping us where we are today. also from railroad association and secretary los angeles -- we received grants that has the project under construction today. thank you for all of your support. [ applause ] >> as everyone knows six years ago we held an international contest to design the property where we stand today. the architects won that competition with a design for the transit center that stands as a model of elegance and functionality. 3 years ago we broke ground for the construction and now it's in full construction and you

hinton is the ideal example of small-town west virginia and probably small-town america. it only has 2,600 residents. that's a pretty large town for west virginia and probably north dakota also, madam president. it's nestled into a lush green valley on the banks of the new river surrounded by the towering majestic mountains and forests of summers county, one of the most beautiful counties in west virginia. new river is one of the oldest rivers in the world. it flows south to north which may be due to the fact that it was formed long before the appalachian mountains. this is a special place sylvia mathews burwell calls home, a showcase for the best of west virginia and america. the beauty, the outdoors and the people are warm and welcoming. sylvia's humble. she is hard working and has spent most of her life helping hard-working families everywhere achieve the american dream her greek immigrant grandparents found in this country. she went off to harvard, was a rhodes scholar and has traveled the world over, but she has never lost touch with her west virginia roots and the t

what was it in the water there in hinton, west virginia, right along the new river, that -- and a gal i grew up there and a town where i lived who's gone on to harvard, rhodes scholar, worked at the highest levels in business, clinton foundation, which has a remarkable amount of success, what were the secrets i don't know your sister, but i heard very good things about her what are some of the secrets that have enabled you to turn out as well as you have? i know you're modest. you have no reason to be modest. i admire the fact that you are. but what are the secrets? >> i would credit my parents with a couple of very important things that they did and one is they instilled in us the importance of service and that's whether my father belonged to many community organizations -- the lions club, the elks club, the j.c.'s, the rotary. my mother was with different organizations, the business and professional women's group. she was president of the church women for almost 25 years. and so this idea that just part of everyday living, and so that's one thing. the other thing i think the simple

i know hinton, west virginia, they are proud of you. so am i. with that having been said, we turn next -- i want to say -- senator johnson, ok. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i apologize i have to go to another hearing. i just wanted to say this is an incredibly well qualified nominee who is well-known to many of us in her previous incarnations. there must be some character flaw that she wants the job, but other than that i think that she is very well qualified. you can -- the witness can see how controversial her nomination is by this packed committee, but this is an excellent choice and i wish her well. maybe before she leaves she could get us some discounts at wal-mart before then. congratulate her on her nomination. i thank you, mr. chairman, for allowing me to say a few words. >> thanks so much for being here and for your comments. i'm going to go through some -- a brief interducks, very brief, and ask a couple of questions. then we'll turn it over to you nd then my colleagues. sylvia burwell has filed responses to a biographical and financial

longtime optometrist and her mother, the honorable cleo matthews, served as the mayor of her hometown of hinton and later served on the west virginia state board of education for a decade. as my colleague, senator manchin, said when he introduced her to our budget committee, it's easy to see that public service is a part of sylvia's d.n.a. madam president, as the director of o.m.b., sylvia will help set our nation's priorities and make tough decisions about our federal spending. so i'm glad that sylvia knows that budgets are about more than abstract numbers and partisan back-and-forth. as a second generation of -- as a greek american, sylvia understands the importance of the promise of american opportunity. she knows budgets are a reflection of our values and our priorities and that they are about families across the country whose lives and future are impacted by the decisions that we make. madam president, not only is sylvia an expert on domestic economic policy and a dedicated public servant, she has a demonstrated track record of working across the aisle to get things done. during her time i
