my name is debbie raphael, and i'm pleased to say the department of environment is in full acceptance of the board's and legislative analyst's report, and i want to thank everyone in the b.l.a. and my own team. it's a lot of work. >> chair fewer: oh, it's a heck of a lot of work. let's hear the b.l.a. >> the department's budget is 19.1% more than the fiscal year 18-19 original budget of $21,745,648. the department's proposed $27,445,578 budget for 20-21 is 6% more than the mayor's proposed fiscal year 19-20 budget. our recommended reductions to the proposed budget total $180,679 in fiscal year 19-20. of the $180,679 in recommended reductions, 67,000 are ongoing savings and $113,679 are one-time savings. this would still allow 18.3% in the department's fiscal year 19-20 budget. in addition, we recommend closing out encumbrances of $88,411. we recommend reductions totaling $67,000. all of those are ongoing savings. these reductions would still allow an increase of 5.7% of the department's fiscal year 2020-2021 budget, and we do have agreement with the department. >> chair fewer: thank y

she may not be here for little bit and vice president stephenson, commissioners and director debbie raphael and mayor london breed who are committed ensuring with all of us at the city and county of san francisco is an environmental leader throughout our country and around the world. the giants are grateful for this recognition. when we opened oracle park 19 years ago, we made a commitment to be the greenest ballpark in the country making enviornmental stewardship a top priority. we're proud that we're able to fulfill that mission. thanks to my colleagues -- please stand. i like to introduce each one of them. i'm sorr sorry, nick -- they are recycle team staff. it was only a mistake we didn't as you heard, we've won few other honors thanks to all you. it is the reason we're here today. it's because of our industry-leading recycling and composting program at oracle parm that we received this year's certification for existing building, operation and maintenance making us the first sports venue to receive, silver, gold and now platinum. thank you to what we believe the best recycling team in a
