just heard today staffing was a reason why we couldn't supervise the disbursement of public funds to s.f. safe. you've said staffing is the reason why you can't even upload to the website the department's own internal policies and bureau orders, but yet we're not we're not doing the basic things, and we're prioritizing other services that seem less vital. what's your response to that? so my response is, um, every thing that you mentioned, for instance, let's start with foot beats. foot beats takes the resources to deploy foot beats. if you're you look at the numbers of you pick the station. um these stations that are 70 officers below where they should be. you have to have the resources to deploy foot beats. it's more labor intensive . i we all well, i in this department believes in foot beats. but you have to have the resources when you are severely short staffed. as i said before, it's a matter of trying to balance the needs. um, and, you know, you said we go back and forth with the with the narcotics strategies that we have. i don't intend to do that, but it's another need. um the ven

s.f. gov. can we go to the overhead please. great. thank you. thank you for this opportunity to comment. um a couple things. um, what i worry about most is that currently the zoning maps show the zoning overlay on top of the resources that are already designated. they don't go around them. they overlay over them. what i think you're hearing from many of us in the room is we want the maps to clearly go around the historic resources that are already designated. so i'm going to give you some visual examples. this is the ingleside presbyterian church, a significant african american related and community resource on ocean avenue. it is one of the two anchors of the landmarks on ocean avenue. the other is the el rey theater. both of these would be up zoned to eight stories. everything around them would be up zoned to eight stories along ocean avenue. um, there is an identified historic district along ocean avenue that shane watson and i worked on very diligently. you have yet to ever hear that designation. we hope someday that you do, but it would be

so this pie chart breaks out the uses funded by clean power s.f. ratepayers. the clean power sf budget totals for 52 452 million and 446.9 million in the two budget years. this is a very dull chart because our clean power sf ratepayers are predominant funding, operating costs and the operating costs are dominated by the purchase of power for and reliability products. now we'll talk about our our how our proposed budgets relate to our priorities and levels of service. so you have seen this slide throughout our our budget hearings. right. power like the rest of the agency, is keying in on affordability through our capital planning and program development. responsible management and investing where it matters. i'll discuss these broad priorities and the red boxed sub subordinate priorities as they relate to the specific operating and capital requests that i'm presenting. so you'll see that that linkage as the as we go through the slide deck power also tests the proposals against our levels of service presented to you and adopted in november. um, to recap, here ar

s.f. have to deal with. one of the things i'll note is that much like in hetch hetchy, we've seen very large and volatile power markets over the last few years included in our forecast is an increase in our budgeted contingency in order to account for this, what this is, is that we forecast what we think are needed expenses will be and then we add a buffer on top of that, and we bake that into our budget and assume in our financial planning that that will be spent. so it's an added buffer above and beyond what we think we are going to need if we come in under our budget and we don't need that contingency, that's great. that falls to our fund balance. that means we can have lower rate increases in the future. but this is one of the ways that clean power sf has. a program is making sure that we are not going to be caught off guard, that we're not going to be unable to procure the power we need. and finally, looking at what that means for clean power sf customer bills as a reminder, our clean power sf only cont
