advisory board. there are three seats and five applicants. >> great. i would like to open it up with some comments from supervisor campos' office. she is not able to be here but asked that i go over a little bit of what the appointment seat is going to be about. supervisor campos as you know spearheaded the legislation that created the equal pay advisory board and asked me to read this statement because he's not here and when i say short it's his short. i am excited there are five incredible applicants for the board of supervisors seats on the equal pay advisory board. the work that you will do on this body will be critical -- if we could quiet the room down a little bit please. there's a lot of noise in the audience. i appreciate that. it's a lot better -- the work that the body will do is critical to implementing the law that we passed last year which i believe is a major step forward insuring equal pay for equal work for thousands of san franciscans. woe know that after the passage of the equal pa

are there questions from the board? >> i will repeat what i said and i would like to see paying for the governance committee and a consultant in the future and we had a lot of work to do this past year and don't want it to slide again for years. that's all i have. >> duly noted. all right. other board comments? this is an action item. >> item 10 is a discussion item. >> discussion item. public comment? hearing no public comment item 11. >> item 11 presentation of fiscal year 2015-16 and 2016-17 health care sustainability fund $2.05 budget. pamela levin. >> our chief financial officer is looking a little puzzled. >> >> i apologize. >> that's all right. we're in regular order and looking at the budget. >> mr. chairman and if i may and ms. levin thank you and may i suggest we open it up to questions and comment focus we have them opposed to a full blown presentation like earlier today. >> all right. any questions or comments from the board? i would note there is an item in this budget that provides for board and executive

as was mentioned earlier the board passed and forwarded to the board of supervisors a transparency resolution which included asking that we not -- that we review our contracts so they don't have anti-competitive language in them. we continue to monitor our acos. we increase the finance team in terms of funding. we launched our analytics program and selected an all payer claims data base vendor and as we said earlier the well being program became a reality, and is in of itself one of the jewels in our crown, so with that that concludes my report. the financial data, audited financial data is in the general report. you've already seen it when you heard the auditor's presentation. thank you. >> are there questions of the director regarding the annual report from members of the board? this is an action item. >> yeah. >> i would love to accept the annual report. >> okay. it's been moved. is there a second? >> second. >> it's been properly moved and second that the annual report for the period be accepted. are there questions from members of the board? any public comment? commendation or otherwise?

then on item no. 8, is this something to move to the full board and make it before the full board? >> deputy city attorney john gibner. no, supervisor tang can't participate in this particular vote, even to forward it to the full board. i think the options are pass until later in the meeting and if supervisor tang returns to the meeting or appoints someone to sit in supervisor breed's chair. >> continue this item to later in the meeting and go on to item no. 14. >> item no. 14 is a motion amending the board of supervisors rules of order by renaming (inaudible) the land use and economic development committee to land use and transportation committee, and reassigning consideration of settlements to the government audit and oversight committee. >> okay, i'm not sure if we have a presentation from president breed's office. we'll give a moment possibly for mr. johnston to step in but i'm familiar with the changes and i am supportive of them. >> thank you. i would say again i am fully supportive of these changes that are being made. i think they are very appropriate and even if there's no

i think that's the primary goal of the board. i don't know that a lot has been discussed about what will happen after the law goes into place. my hope is that the board will continue to hear from the community, from contractors and workers about how that data collection process is going. that if needed -- if we're needed to come up with ideas to tweak that collection process that we can do that and be involved in that, but really make sure that the initial work that we have done is effective and carried out in the way that is meaningful -- >> let me -- let me interrupt here. there is nothing tangible or no cause and you would like to say in the next two years i would like to see this. >> again i think the board will -- the initial purpose is to come up with the language of the legislation that will actually -- that the human resources -- that will develop what the human resources -- sorry, what the human rights commission ends up collecting so we're going to be developing that piece of the legislation and that will go back before

had known about the $22 million when the 3wuk9 u budget process was going on i feel confident the boardould have live approved 7.5 percent that combined with the mayors percentage would be less than i think the speakers have spoken lont to the need and you've heard hours and hours of testimony talking about the needed many of the needs have beenes batdz by policies that led to tremendous rent increases in areas where our nonprofits are most needed with improved wages and benefits those are great things but exudate our needs this deserves to go to the full board for a vote and imexplore you pass this out the committee today. >> thank you mofrnl on the public that wishes to speak mr. chairman we're ready to close public comment. >> okay public comment is closed. schair. >> thank you. i wanted to thank all the speakers from the nonprofits management and workers for many of the human services system in the city but i'll call it our critical safety net this is an issuance or issue about fairness and urban finished business from the last nonprofit i want to read from the board resolution that

that we need a loefrment fix so we don't have to come forward here everyday pass this onto the full boardnd talk about long term strategies for the challenge. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm nancy deputy director of the social services we serve over 22 hundred people in the city that are hopeless the point i want to make the speakers have said things about the long term solution think about do the math if the minimum wage is - what does 7.5 percent get you may $23 a month or $5 a week bethink about that in making this dignities. >> thank you. >> thank you for putting this into process pefb. >> debbie from the human services network i want to look at 9 properties for a moment i understand that some supervisors are uncomfortable that came about shortly after the budget process concluded i agree that is not the way we want to do things but one crucial piece of information after the process was done in october the controller put out a report $22 million in unanticipated revenue for fiscal year 2014-2015 if we had known about the $22 million when the 3wuk9 u budget process w
