during the broadway rockslide, we did barricades'. we did geotechnical services we had to pay for. there is kind of a gamma -- gamut. i think there is something that had to do with the wood for shoring. that would feed into that 54 days, so we are much better off than we were several years ago. even last year, we started off with -- commissioner murphy: how are we compared to three years ago? >> three years ago, -- we are greater than three years ago. our lowest was 500,000 that we went into 2009-2010 with. we went in with $553,000, and we are up to wear around between 3 million or 4 million. remember, years and years ago -- commissioner murphy: i remember. >> yes. commissioner murphy: let's get back to the first page there. it says, "restore code enforcement outreach for the sro programs to levels prior to the downturn." can you explain that a little bit to me? what were the levels then? how much money were we giving them then, and how much money are we giving them now? >> you are talking about actually the report. several years ago, i think three years ago, we were giving them $7

having our own contract for geotechnical services, in the event that we have something like the broadway rockslide again, that is the budget. and we always -- the actuals are always based on what the actual expenditures are, so they do not -- they are not allowed to bill us any more than what they actually spend, and we are not allowed to pay them for more than what they actually spent, but there is no variants on services from other departments. the reason it is up on the top and not under the various -- you know, not under building inspection, not a disaster, not electric, not plumbing, is because we budgeted the high level for work orders, and this is part of the work order thing. you know, last year, we talked about showing the revenue because technically, in the real world, anywhere else, probably other than san francisco, this is revenue. but here, it is the reduction to expenses. the expenses may be incurred anywhere within the division, and it may be anything. it may be salaries. we made to work for someone else and they pay us. but it is all accumulated in one line, and it is problematic

we read it just last year where 455 vallejo, there was a rockslide that affected properties on broadway and montgomery. at rock slide occurred because of blasting that occurred back in the turn-of-the-century that left the rock week. 100 years later, the weak rock cannot stand there anymore and it fell. this slide is a long sansome street, where the city chose to protect sansome street and the cars, and they built this catchment wall. the sole purpose of this wall is to catch rocked that falls from private property. >> and every year or two, we get a call saying that rocks have fallen down the road and spilled over. this is the famous slide where we had a building at the top fall down this hill. this is the 22 street building. this was a watercolor done in 1945 by david mandel which -- by david mandelowiz. this building started gradually falling and sliding down. >> they had to replace the street right there. and in the process of jack hammering out the old st., they weakened the rocked. then the rockfall occurred. it undermined the building. once the building was undermined, it could n
