we normally budget to what we need. that's part of the reason why we've been able to stay within our budget. and accumulate some savings. and yes, our revenues have been very good in the past. and that's why we've been able to accumulate savings. we've also been able to accumulate savings due to expenditure savings, too. because when we -- you know, sometimes we do not spend our entire budget. so i would agree that, yes, our budget has been pretty -- we've tried to be pretty frugal with the payors' money, wanting to do what we can to provide services, and also, recognizing it's public funds and being frugal with the money. >> president mccarthy: thank you, taras. i think it's important. where i kind of part company with the budget is the work orders obviously. can we go to there again. i want to dig deeper back to the work orders there. thank you. perfect. and i know commissioner clinch kind of touched on it there. for example, help me understand if, let's say, from 2011 we were at $11 million. and we're up to $24 milli

wasnot a proposed budget, it reflected our current budget .>>supervisor safai: got it. that makes sense and i guess that makes sense, we will see how it goes forward whether how this committee responds to my request to you when i see that is also to see a firmer commitment to safe parking i think that is something that i think in this past year to be successful, it's something there's a need for, that need is not going away and might have evenincreased . and so i think that should be, there should be a stronger reflection of that in your budget. hopefully there can be further conversations with proxy oversight committee to see if there's a commitment or a desire for that committee to support that allegation. the second thing, i'm just going to ask one more question. i know my colleagues want to ask questions. the thing i didn't necessarily see jumped out in some of our conversations we had previously about housing kind of on the larger sense but hotel acquisition or acquisitions. can you point to the funding area that you are anticipating that

identify and publicly communicate its policy priorities for the budget, the mayor's budget priority, the mayor's proposed priorities, and the guidelines regarding public transparency and decision making. these goals reflect one, rapidly rebuilding san francisco by prioritizing covid-19 recovery for our most vulnerable population, housing availability and affordable, covid treatment and rent security, and neighborhood stabilization. to stop corruption in efficiencies and waste in city government, and to innovate and fund new ideas and move us away from any failed policies and focus on impact. in light of the on going pandemic, we demand that all departments and agencies justify their expenditures with a data driven covid-19 spending plan that uses the best available data to strategically invest any dollars. these plans must continue protecting seniors and immunocomprised individuals most at risk and affected by the housing crisis. we must ensure the basic needs of san franciscans are met and that our families are stabilized during a period of tremendous uncertainty. in march, we will

i don't see that as a budget request itself. i see a level budget request. is that supplemental or existing resources from one to another that is in the purview of your authority under the current budget? >> we don't make that decision on what they ask for. the statutes require if they have additional needs that the department is responsible for resourcing that. so, anytime they have a search in the budget cycle, we step in with the resources we have and then we diverted that to the ig. any request that you see is coming directly from that. >> thank you, mr. chair man and for joining us here again today. like everybody else on this call, i really don't ever want to see anything like january 6th happen again. but frankly, it did showcase to the world of the vulnerability year at the capitol. and i share some of the concerns that we don't just throw a bunch of money at the problem with structural changes that have been implemented which we will need. i just want to talk a little bit about the intelligence operations that you currently have as capitol police. b

there gutting our budget. there gutting the budget. going to be crippled and unable to fulfill our charter mandate and mandate that the people of san francisco have entrusted us with .we won't be able to answer the phones, we won't be able to help people comply and we certainly won't be able to change the culture of corruption in parts of the city's family. if we don't have any of the resources and we won't be able to investigate due to enforcement.everything is going to be limited so i understand that this is a belt tightening exercise because there is significant shortfall in revenue but we have and i think commissioner lee said it very well read the virus of corruption is here in san francisco and we can collectively adopt that it's just going to go away, but it's not going away. it's only increasing first it was in the building inspection and then it led to the puc on airport commission and more and more. we have three more comptroller reportscoming out . and i think the federal investigation is ongoing and the other shoe is going

s of come out their strongest ever criticism of any budget is this budget over what it does even the baby say. it was very doubtful about any claims being made this budget would in some way help poor people you case a man in the b.b.c. haven't heard of them there who are some talk about an 800000000000 missed in the treasury recently i mean this is a civil service is thurmond's or advisors who might be misinforming the chancellor if we are going to forgive him for threatening the removal of universal credit increases of 20 pounds in the autumn i think in in the treasury over time chancellor support comes surrounded by a particular set of civil servants with particular set of beliefs ones that fit the conservative party so for instance a lot of money has been spent on the budget trying to prop up house prices again a new kind of help to buy the kind of prices are as possible and the certainty of belief in the treasury that the higher house prices are the better business doing so you can see they have money to spend when they want to spend it they can reduce taxes on stamp duty again t

more now on today's budget.yth has been getting reaction from people in grimsby, which voted conservative for the first time in more than 70 years at the last election. after a bleak year, this family is hoping for a brighterfuture. their gymnastics business has taken a huge hit and it has affected their personal finances, too, living on universal credit for the first time. we have had to make some cutbacks at home and we now do sort of a meal plan every week, don't we? taking on a lot of responsibility at home, doing extra chores, lifting the weight off mum and dad's shoulders. wejust, like, try and make- everything more joyful in the house and try to make everyone happy, so we like to bake. _ it's been a struggle but we have managed. they welcomed the continued increase to universal credit but, conscious all the current support comes at a cost, theyjust hope they will be protected down the line. it's the small businesses that are... suffering. suffering but also have a big impact on the economy. grimsby�*s eco

our budget. this is prioritizing programs that demonstrate outcomes and centered around equity which is everything that dcyf is all about and committed to. implementing programs to support our most vulnerable people in our city including homeless and mental health needs of individuals. and then of course continuing to respond to covid, which i will share with you what it is we're doing. so i wanted to share big picture and then hone in on the dcyf component and the budget. so you can see here, dcyf total budget includes our school district public education and enrichment fund of $90.5 million. it also includes the free city college allocation of $16.4 million. but the real bulk of dollars dyyf can operate is $166 million and a further breakdown is we have around $111 million, 67% of our budget made of the children and youth fund and then around 28% of our budget, $47 million made up of general fund and the remaining 5% of our budget is made up of federal and state grants. i apologize at how busy

budget is almost silent on those questions.been a budget to rebuild the foundations, it would would have fixed our broken social security system. instead, the chancellor has been dragged kicking and screaming to extend the £20 uplift in universal credit. for the chancellor, levelling up seems to mean moving some parts of the treasury to darlington, creating a few freeports and reannouncing funding. that isn't leveling up, it's giving up. he said it was right that corporation tax went up in the long run. but no taxes should have been raised in the teeth of this economic crisis. so it's extraordinary that the chancellor is ploughing ahead with a £2 billion council tax rise affecting households across the country. so why is he doing that? why is he doing that when every economist would tell him not to do it? perhaps we find the answer in this week's sunday times. rishi's argument, "let's do all this now, far away from the election as possible." or the telegraph on the 27th ofjanuary. "'raising taxes now means they can be reduced a

while this is a budget hearing, i hope you will address how this increased budget request reflects the capitol police response to the attack on the capital and the members of congress, and how the more resources will positively impact the security plan, policies, and procedures that were lacking on that day. as you know, safety, security and wellness remain the subcommittees top priorities. currently, resources for capitol police are almost 10% of the entire legislative branch budget, totaling $515 million. for fiscal year 2022, the department has requested $619.2 million, which is a 20% increase or $103.7 million over the fiscal year 2021 enacted total. i think january sixth made clear that increases are needed, but we need understand what the increases will be and what they would be used to accomplish. we need to understand the plan for this year, and the next year, and how the increases provided will be regularized. i hope you can address how the request will impact command, control, and communication. you are seeking a 91% increase in screening technologies, 131% increase in securi

everyone is making tough budget choices right now. in our presentation, i've asked staff to present ideas on how we can mitigate the cuts. we can't sit idly by and let a return to the status quo dictate our response to this climate crisis. we're rapidly approaching the point of new return in climate, and this must be a priority in this fiscal year. i'm hoping you'll consider the resolution after the discussion, so with that, i'd like to turn it over to our speakers, joe salem and debbie raphael. >> thank you, president. good evening, commissioners. my name is joe salem, and i'm the finance officer of the department. i'm here to discuss draft changes in the fiscal year 2021-22 budget that was adopted by the commission on february 1. when we presented the draft budget to this commission, we were anticipating the continuation of our annual interdepartmental services or i.d.s. work order with the p.u.c. at the current active levels. we've since learned that we'll be receiving $248,000 less than we expected from the p.u.c. this, along with

is that included in the budget?i'm a little trying to see the approach you'retaking, can you clarify that a little bit ? >> the reduction targets are about reducing a general fund report so it can be achieved in one of two ways.either we reduce expenditures on the general fund or we reduce our reliance on the general fund through the leveraging of additional revenues . so you're correct, we're proposing approximately 101 revenue in year one and about 35 million in year 2. it's a little bit lopsided how we actually met targets. so in the first year we sort of exceededour target of 59 million in year one . and we are short a little bit of our general fund reduction target inyear 2 overall , between the two years they balance and so it's sort of in the 2 year budget period we have met our target . doesthat answer your question supervisor . >> so to reduce your reliance on the general fund by not much because you're bringing in revenues separately. >>jenny louie: correct. >>chair haney: donna, thank you. >>chair haney:

a city's budget reflects its values. how can we tell our kids and grand kids that we didn't value or health and safety or anyone else's for that matter to meet our climate goals in time to avoid catastrophy. with no accessible levels of funding, san francisco doesn't have any idea of what implementing the financial plan will cost. that can't be allowed to happen, and we certainly can't allow reducing its current budget, which is so inadequate any way. so when the city allows the department charged with overseeing climate action to have pathetically low money, all other departments can feel free to ignore its mandates, all of which are urgent. i believe this is both fiscally and morally wrong. please, commissioners, make your case to the mayor and supervisors that for s.f.e. to depend on work orders from other departments and for them to squander valuable staff time writing grant proposals is appalling and will have tragic results. this wealthy city in the wealthiest country in the world should be leading by example. the

the office for budget responsibility says the overall budget package will lead to the highest tax burdenlf a century. 0ur economics editor faisal islam explains more. there's never been a real world budget backdrop like this. and nor has there been a budget like it, either. it contains a message that the vaccine is getting us through to a reopening, so it's worth one more push, pumping tens of billions more in immediate support to carry on saving jobs. the real story of the decisions is in the budget book chart and what's known as the scorecard, adding up the impact of all the new policies today by year. in this coming year, the government will be pumping significantly more into the economy, nearly £60 billion extra, in furlough, self—employment grants and the massive incentive to get businesses to invest. but significantly higher corporation tax and the freeze on personal tax allowances claws back much of that, but only substantially after three years. that extension of support and progress on the vaccine all leads to this. the latest official forecasts are that unemployment will peak a

at some point, look, the biggest problem facing the defense budget is budget uncertainty, not knowing what the hell we are going to get. i went through that with a republican congress. they were talking about sequester, for goodness sake, cutting everything across the board. and it just creates chaos because you are not quite sure what you are going to get. so i think it is essential that we return to some degree of certainty. i understand that there are needs now with regards to the situation with covid. both republicans and democrats have put money into that. that is important to try to deal with that pandemic. it is important to get our economy recovered. but at some point with a $28 trillion debt, with a deficit that will probably be somewhere between $5 trillion to $7 trillion, it is important to restore budget dips a plan. -- discipline. we need a budget that looks out five to 10 years, and makes the decision, how are we going to get on a path to begin to reduce that debt, reduce those deficits, and then define what we are going to stand on defense -- spend on defense, on discre

this is a budget that meets that moment.his is a budget that papered over the cracks rather than rebuilding the foundations. a budget which shows the government does not understand what went wrong in the last decade or what is needed in the next. the furlough scheme and grants for the self employed are extended — and there's more help with business rates for retail and hospitality. but all that costs billions — corporation tax will go up — and more of us will be paying more tax. has the chancellor done enough to see us through to the end of pandemic? we'll get reactions from families and firms — louise runs a hair salon. 70% of our industry didn't think they'd see to the end of this financial year so it was a bit of relief, to go, i hope that number changes and that people go, there is help here and we can take it forward. also tonight — nicola sturgeon�*s turn to face the tough questions — she denies there was any conspiracy against her former friend and mentor — alex salmond. claims that meghan bullied staff at kensington

i don't think that this is a budget for normal people.he said about the green industrial revolution, - that is a key principle - to reigniting these areas, which in the past have been sort of forgotten by previous governments. it is a lot of borrowing and i am worried about my future. hopefully, somebody has realised that there are other places other than london. among today's announcement there was a new national infrastructure bank to fund big projects to be based in leeds, part of the treasury moving to darlington. the government's keen to show its commitment to tackling regional inequalities, though many people in these places have heard such promises before. for young people, jobs are key. blake applied for more than 50 with no result, but he's much more confident after training for an apprenticeship, glad of today's funding for such schemes. it's absolutely pivotal that we get trained up to become obviously the men and women of tomorrow and i think that's what it's all about. elle's been improving her skills too. on furlough from he

but first to the chancellor's budget. sunak promised to "protect thejobs and livelihoods of the british people" as the uk emerges from the coronavirus crisis. confirming some of his trailed announcements, he said he'd extend the furlough scheme, paying a large part of millions of workers' wages until september, and a temporary increase of £20 a week to universal credit would also stay for another six months. but taxes on large company profits would go up, and while national insurance and vat rates wouldn't increase, there would be a threshold freeze. the institute for fiscal studies said about 1.3 million people would be brought into the income tax system, with about 10% of adults brought into the higher 40p rate. the amount we've borrowed is comparable only with the amount we borrowed during the two world wars. it's going to be the work of many governments over many decades to pay it back. just as it would be irresponsible to withdraw support too soon, it would also be irresponsible to allow our future borrowing and debt
