we have continuing resolutions if the budget committees are supposed to each come budgets, reconcile the differences, and the weekly to the appropriations process found the portion of the siscretionary. none of things happening more. we do not have an actual budget that we do and it's hard to remember when we last didn't, years ago it doesn't have fiscal requirement. ther much borrowing you can put in your budget. the l called the debt ceiling where viewers have heard about the heard about it is recently we keep having huge dramas around with a massive fights over whether and how to fix it. you have to lift the debtry would default ando that would create huge crisis not just you but around the the debt ceilingng serves as the only reminder weor had that we're much and we really need to think about ways, this has happened in the past every time you liftt the debt ceiling you improve the situation. the last time we lifted the debt ceiling tha did happen. we have fiscal responsibility act of put that in place and that generated what would be one to $2 trillion if cards would stick to it

and so that with that, the budget and appropriation committee is on recess. budget and finance. he's going to ask me. what do you mean? let us know. sfgovtv, i see what you mean. i am ready, i can go, aaron and shamann. all right, so two. here. aaron.

and so that with that, the budget and appropriation committee is on recess. for the budget and appropriation committee for wednesday, june 26th, i am chair of the committee supervisor connie chan. i'm joined by vice chair rafael mandelman. supervisor shamann walton, and board president aaro. shortly by vice chair, vice by supervisor myrna melgar. we're returning back from recess. and i first wanted to say that, on on the record that previously last friday have mentioned a motion, i mentioned three different motions and including one of the motions that we will potentially put 10% of the salary on reserve. i want to put on a record that i'm withdrawing this motion, because based on the advice of our city attorney, and that's all i can say. and so, i just want to put that on record. and then with the remaining of the two motions, we will discuss, when we return, we will be going back on recess now and that we will return at. tinr breed, former mayor brown. to my many colleagues for whom i speak. returning from recess and my apologies. i think we have to come bac

budget. i would say well the republican study committee budget not the budget passed out of this committee 80% or so of house republicans are a part of the republican study committee including i believe every member of republican leadership so it is not exactly like we are talk about some small group. their proposal and i give them credit for honesty as they put this out and put it in black and white their plan cuts social security benefits for 257 million people. three out of every four americans. they would do that by raising the retirement age from what will soon be 67 all the way up to 70. that is completely unnecessary. and let me be clear it represents a top insubstantial cut because of course americans would never earn back the revenue they would have received without some sort of an increase in the retirement age. i finally want to make this point and pause it there. there is a lot of confusion people bring up deficit and debt and understandably get concerned about some of the projections but get concerned with the 34 trillion-dollar debt figure. let's be clear, social security has not

and returning from recess for the budget and appropriation committee. today i think the remaining item is the general public comment. or i should say, public comments for all any or all city department presented their budget before us, actually, today and yesterday. i believe. and then. so please come forward and let's open to public comment. yes, members of the public wish to address this committee regarding, the hearing and, and, annual appropriation and salary ordinance. now is your opportunity to address this committee first. speaker let's try that again. yeah. first speaker hello, my name is lauren, and i am a pacific islander educator in san francisco that works to support orgs like almyros and fantasy youth services, who currently receive funding from the sugary drinks distributor tax. dfe healthy communities grant. i've also been here since 10 a.m. and i'm outraged at the notice to defund local nonprofits and indigenous peoples that were promised three years of funding to provide services to those that are most affected by issues such as heart di

sometimes they send me screenshots that they received 30 00 per month, well, the head of the budget committee 125 00 per month, 125. well, look where on the graph, well, it turns out that these are the numbers of the head of the secretariat and the people's deputy who heads the committee, well, this disproportionate burden and disproportionate responsibility, we talked about it, the only thing is that people's deputies should not go to populism to take money from the apparatus, but should think about how to set normal salaries for people's deputies, because well , it's not ok when a people's deputy gets 30,000 but i emphasize once again, it should be... not in a manual mode, somewhere with final provisions, but it should be a reform, the european union requires us to adopt a 70 to 30 reform, which means 70% salary and up to 30% bonus , so that it does not happen that our salary is 20 00, and the bonus is 300 0, well, it definitely should not be like that, no, well , of course, if a deputy, for example , there is a certain kolya tyshchenko, and a famous restaurateur and so on, someone and the

the most important directions of economic policy were discussed today in the state duma; the budget committeedopting amendments to the country’s main financial document for this year at the first reading. social programs remain a government priority, special attention to the implementation of the tasks set by the president in his address to the federal assembly. an additional 160 billion rubles will be allocated for this. taken into account to the required extent. funds for solving housing issues for a family with children, that is, we are talking about a family mortgage and payment of 4,500 rubles at the birth of the third subsequent child, funds for providing access to high-speed internet on the territory of the russian federation are taken into account, which allows us to begin financing the creation and launch of into orbit next year additional spacecraft, further, are financially provided with remuneration resources for teachers teaching fundamental disciplines, which will increase the prestige and expand the participation of scientific research teachers. in moscow, 121 people sought med

and at that time, the presentation in budget committee was that there was $40 million, that that it was okay, and we didn't need to worry about because there was $40 million plus anticipated future, bond revenue, a mere three months after that, when in my district, there was an 18 unit building, almost all african american and african immigrant tenants being purchased, about to be purchased by a literally. i'm not making this up by a convicted arsonist, a landlord who had literally burnt his tenants out of a place in the east bay, and we raised this with former director. we were told at that time, october last year, just a couple months after hearing there was $40 million. we didn't need to worry about the $20 million cut that there were no funds for. literally a $3 million acquisition of 18 units of housing that could have been preserved through that program, and then we were told at that time that maybe these kind of acquisitions could be done if the next bond passed. so i will just say, i think it was a big mistake to cut these funds last year. and we are desperately in need of trans

this was announced by the head of the budget and taxes committee, andrei makarov. this package amends the budget law for this year, at the same time changes are made to the budget code, also to the law on annual payments to working parents, the law on pensions for military personnel is changed, and the tax system is also improved. a package of documents was submitted to the state duma today at 13:00 moscow time. the most important thing is the amendments to the current budget for... the twenty-fourth year, they provide for the costs of implementing the points of the president’s message to the federal assembly, but in particular, among them an increase in payments to teachers working in small localities, as well as a proposal to extend family mortgages after july 1, this also requires additional financial support. these are issues related to the extension of the family mortgage program after july 1 , 2024, when it expires, and the president gave instructions: to extend it, and we are not only talking about a formal extension, we are talking about financial support f

i've been on the budget committee for the last three years. i've been the vice chair. i've been the president of the retirement fund for over a year. i know each and every year they come back to us, different departments and, and talk about different savings. they have a tremendous amount of contracts. they put out both to the nonprofit and private sector contractors. we have to look at those, rein them in, look for savings, and then we can help provide this opportunity. my goal is to get up to 20 to $25 million in this fund. and i know you probably saw last week we had a philanthropist, a chris larson from whipple. he gave $1 million to the police department as an incentive to help enhance police stations. there's a lot of people that want to step up to do this work, and we know it will happen really quickly. >> okay. so it sounds like you are pretty optimistic that this is actually achievable, that this is realistic and not just something that you're throwing out there because it's an election year. no. >> absolutely no. listen again, i go back to the fact that this

the budget and finance committee approved a $23.2 million budget, which included ongoing general fund, a general fund, reduction of 330,000 since february, the largest increase in the budget year is mainly due to mou wage growth, mandated colas and fringe benefit costs, and increases to work orders, offset by one time funding for a legislative management system, which will, increase the department's expenditure budget by $224,684, or 1, in the out year. the department's expenditure budget increased by 558,989 $36, or 2.3, from the budget year. also reflecting mou changes, cola and fringe benefit costs and work order increases. this is the first year that the san francisco board of supervisors submitted a proposal for the urban areas security initiative, otherwise known as the oac grant funding. we were hoping that priority would be given to a department that historically has not applied or received funding. we did not receive that funding. we were hoping to expend those funds on a mode of communication between members and their staff, who potentially could be in the district, during a
