walk through the budget with you had an overview level, talk about tax increment, the gsa budget impacts and the general fund impact. finally, talking about the general fund supported activities that will be and absorbed into the general fund in this budget, rather than in the redevelopment agency's budget. as you remember, earlier this year, the state legislature passed and the governor signed ab 26 and 27. 26 was found to be constitutional and dissolved the redevelopment agency throughout the state. in our case, the city and county became the successor agency to the redevelopment agency. the assets of the agency were transferred to the mayor's office of housing, port, and city a minister's office. you will recall also each successor agency is required to have an oversight board. our oversight board oversees the fighting to management of certain real development agency assets. at the highest level, the three major approved development projects and the house and work that was done by the former agency will continue. the oversight board has adopted what is called a recognized obligation p

it is not in the budget. i am wondering if this would be the place where that would go. >> the -- that piece of legislation would impact the city's revenue. that comes into the budget and then gets distributed as general fund. if that legislation were to be approved, and if the programmer to be funded, we would effectively reduce our revenue by an estimated $2 million. supervisor chu: it gets reduced -- >> yes. supervisor chu: thank you. with regard to the budget analysts recommendation? this is an allowance under the initiative. and the budget is assumed before you. >> madam chair, eyes -- i fail to mention the control, which is $6,653, and that is ongoing savings that would allow an increase in the budgets department of the 6%. >> if there are no questions from the committee at this time, let's move on supervisor avalos. >> i'm not sure if my staff had contacted the control office about the small-business exemption that we preliminarily passed last tuesday. it does show a hole in the budget of two million d

it our defense budget is bigger than the defense budget of the next 17 countries combined.i don't think that's sustainable. there are some big choices to be made here about what extent do we want to be the cops of the world. what is important to for us to keep the sea lains oil for everyone that depends on. do we want to be able to send people into libya or somalia or syria or when ever. there are big buck item theres. one of the -- i think the trouble with the defense budget. it's developed a set of facts and speech and concepts that outsiders can't understand. so in the book i tried to take one thing the defense department has to decide. how much aircraft carriers are enough? so congress in the wisdom has told the pentagon they have to have 11 aircraft carriers. they have a special permission to have 10 for awhile while building a new one. they want to replace each of the aircraft it has over one over every five years for the rest of my life. each -- these new aircraft carriers, which are huge, the navy calls them 4.5 acres of moble search territory. they cost $11 billion

finally, we have included on the sheet, in the budget a hope sf budget initiative director to manage this project in a more cooperative way and to make sure the tories neighborhood grant is shepherded to completion. supervisor chu: supervisor cohen? supervisor cohen: i was wondering if there was any budget -- money that was set aside for emergency for, let's say, a fire? >> i am not sure i understand the question. for general emergencies? supervisor cohen: we are talking about hope sf, hunters view, in particular. is there money in the budget that would address -- >> i am the cfo of the mayor's office of housing to there was an early morning saturday fire at the hunters view affordable housing development site. luckily, there were no injuries, but the site was damaged, including the progress we had made for the affordable housing sites. we are still evaluating what that means. sf fire department is investigating. i think you'll have to work with the developer as you would with any developer project to see what they would be able to do or what additional fine and they would need simil

>> i think that the budget analyst is referring to provisions in the budget. then correct, the tax code is not before you. >> if we were to make an amendment on the budget analyst separating it, you would have to introduce that item? >> correct. supervisor chu: given that the item is not before us, i would suggest that we cannot make an amendment at this moment. the budget analyst report recommends that we move forward with these items and that exemptions to the authority will be coming before us department by department. do we have a motion to send these items forward to the full board of supervisors for this coming tuesday? without a motion, can we keep that without objection? kept without objection. thank you very much. please call items four through 12. >> item #4. hearing to include financial update and information on budget instructions and process for fy2012-2013. item #5. proposed budget and annual appropriation ordinance appropriating all estimated receipts and all estimated expenditures for departments of the city and county of san francisco as of ma

in the base defense budget, 2010 was the peak in the budget. it has declined since then in real terms. the fiscal year 2013 request is about 2.3% less than the appropriated amounts in fiscal year 2012. that is in real terms. we are seeing a 2.3% reduction. if you look at the projection over the coming years, it is flat. it goes slightly higher than inflation, .o1% over the next five years. do not to read too much into those. >> these are the obama administration's budget request. it projected flat at the same peak level of defense spending. fiscal year 2011 came up. fiscal year 2012 went down. it is flat for the projection in the future. the reagan administration was projecting growth in defense spending all the way through the end of the administration although the budget kept coming down. the start of that drawdown from fiscal year 1985 until 1986 was sequestration. >> sequestration can affect all of the federal agencies. can you give us insight how it will play out for the other agencies? there are significant differences because the pentago

budget hawks call the 0-5-0 account and you can't get to the domestic budget issues unless you masterhe national defense budget issues and i think that is something congressman ryan has gotten through being chairman of the house budget committee and ranking republican, giving him a real perspective on the resources we need for a strong american position internationally. >> eric: that is really fascinating and i would never have known that. you talk about the frightening choices ahead and there is word iran potentially is boosting and increasing its nuclear work? >> there has been intelligence leaking both in israel and in the united states of new assessments by u.s. authorities and others. that i think make it clear that iran's progress toward nuclear weapons has not been impaired by diplomacy or economic sanctions so whether it is this month or next month or december, there is no doubt that iran's approach to a nuclear weapons capability has to be at the top of the agenda of whoever wins on november 6th. you can bet it is at the top of the agenda of the israeli government, every day.

that is irresponsible budget. we have a budget that extends itself to the richness of our communities by investing in small businesses, in community- based organizations that help us critically to deliver health and community social services to those in need. it is also a budget that is responsible because it places monies that we need because we don't control the rest of the world, how we have to be prepared and we listened over the years to the ratings agencies to the various fiscally responsible entities including the comptroller's office. we must put away things in case things beyond our control happen and we have done that. we have done that in unity with the board of supervisors. i want to give a shot out to all of us that work collectively to make our budget responsible. it is the largest budget, but it is two years that builds on our success and reserves for dangers we have no control over. it also invests in seriously in our neighborhoods, small business corridors, that lifts up and gives hope to all of t

if approved would be included in the 2014 budget. the current system does not demonstrate use of available technology and should, because it would allow for easy access and assures a would have paper. and i would like to note current successes. the first is our online tool to access legislations. it has been fully functional for several years, and this fall we expect to open it to the public so the public can access our legislation as well. and while we are talking about i t programs, supervisor kim, i know you are curious about this. we have had a positive impact of late. i was pleased to hear the director of i.t. states that the departments that have migrated to the consolidated e-mail system cannot migrate to -- can migrate to 365. this is what we have been advocating for. this will allow us to avoid duplication of potential disruption that we may incur, even though we are going to migrate one time. it is very successful, so i am hopeful it will be for us and the department. our major expenses and revenues. i am thinking probably

we did do an analysis this year to look at the budget, both this past budget and the proposed budget for i.t.. the amount is $100.90000000 -- $190 million. president tchi: have begun an analysis of what the actual saar for this past fiscal year compared to what we budgeted. last year? >> we could do that. i do know that in some instances, the funds are spent in a different fiscal year of then in which there were appropriate. we have a large project that may be funded but it takes two years to expand the money. the budget and the expenditure are not necessarily a match but we can provide the total spending to the committee as well. presdienident chiu: the puc's actual was higher than was budgeted and i wanted to get a sense of whether that is the case for other departments. >> it is very likely, the puc and most of the enterprise departments, they do budget in one year even though it might take two or three years to spend the money. it would not necessarily be uncommon for those not to match perfectly but we can provide the information on an actual basis. president chiu: we all agree

our defense budget is bigger than the defense budget of the next 17 countries combined. i don't think that is sustainable. there are some big choices to be made as to what extent we want to be the cops of the world and to what extent is it important to keep the sea lanes open for oil shipments for everybody who depends on oil from the middle east. to what extent we want to send the blood drop of a hat to libya or somalia or syria or wherever. there are some items there. the trouble with the defense budget is like covering the federal reserve. a set of facts and concepts that outsiders can understand. in the book i try to take just one thing the defense department inside. how many aircraft carriers are enough? congress in its infinite wisdom told the pentagon they have to have 11 aircraft carriers. they have special permission to have 10 for a while. and each aircraft carrier over one aircraft carrier every five years for the rest of my life. these aircraft carriers which are enormous, 4 acres of mobile sovereign territory cost $11 billion. eleven billion dollars is the s

but it's in our budget. what we proposed in our budget that passed the house, get rid of these loopholes in exchange for lower rates. and what we want to do is get rid of these loopholes in exchange for lowing everybody's and every business's tax rates to make us more globally competitive. >> he doesn't like the fact, for example, that a company like ge pays no taxes for whatever reason. he wants to do away with those kind of loopholes, different tax rates for u.p.s. as opposed to dhl. he goes into some specific details. is that orthodoxy start that conservative base, which some of whom see any reduction in those loopholes as, in effect, a tax hike? >> it is becoming orthodoxies to the effect, flatter, simpler, fairer and some of these offshore tax shelters. even governor romney says, let's get rid of those. but some republicans draw the line, they won't take that if it brings more revenue to washington. paul ryan says, i'm not going to worry about that. if we simplify the tax code, if the end result is more

a balanced budget under ryan. he's just using a debt problem to cut programs that republicans have always opposed. medicare, education, higher education, pell grants, food stamps. to use that money to provide tax cuts to people like romney. now we know on the ryan budget, governor romney would only pay 1% in taxes. because he excludes all income from investments in capital gains and the like. here is a guy who voted for the iraq war. voted for a $7 trillion entitlement on prescription drugs with no pay for. present it to the country as a deficit halt even though his budget doesn't get the budget in balance. we'll be at the half century mark before it would be in balance. >> no doubt about it. let me ask you, bob, to step in for a minute here. when you hear the congressman lay out how far to the right ryan's positions are, his politics and even his budget. and then you look at one of the standouts of the ryan budget is what he would do with medicare. and something that seniors and others are disturbed by. but when

park impact development budget. i understand that the comptroller's office is aware that and the need to make the adjustment as we move forward. let me just move forward to the expenditure budget. so, our most significant expenditures continue to be department staff, which represents 68% of all expenditures. salary and fringe costs are expected to increase by 5.8% over the next two years. we do have some increase in non-personnel services for one time expenditures. such as the individual funding transportation sustainability program. for the first time, we have some capital budget expenditures this year. the better market street program and the street inventory program, all of which is a joint effort with other departments, primarily public works and the mta. the capital outlay also reflects the $2.3 million, which will be adjusted in shifted over to the rec and park department. as you heard, from the city attorney's office, there will be services from other departments that will be increased by half of a million do

budget. what you proposed is get rid of the loopholes. what we want to do is get rid of these loopholes, all of these loopholes in exchange for lowering every business's tax rates to make us more competitive. >> here doesn't like the fact that the company like ge pays no taxes for whatever reason. he wants to do away with those kinds of loopholes and tax rates or u.p.s. he goes into specific details. is that orthodoxy as far as that conservative base? some of them see a reduction in the loopholes as a tax hike. >> it is orthodoxy to flatter, simpler and fairer. the offshore tax shelters. let's get rid of those. some draw the line that they won't take the tax reform and brings more revenue to washington. high is not going to worry about that. if the end result is more money for washington, great. he said it's critical to make it simpler for middle class families. he will be honest and the main goal he thinks is for businesses, he takes away the tax code and you make it simple. he thinks more m

the budget analyst has a report.se was the result of data being polled before the june books had fully been closed, so the updated systems show that the average monthly spend was as we projected, about $2.30 million per month, and we have discussed this update with the budget analyst and have requested that the original not to exceed amount be $107.50 million. i am happy to answer any questions. chair chu: thank you very much. to the budget analyst. >> madam chair, members of the committee, as she just stated, we were advised this morning that based on the latest invoices received that the requested authorization of the not to exceed amount is justified. we concur with mr. brown, and we recommend that you approve this resolution. we are withdrawing our recommendation to reduce the amount. chair chu: thank you very much. why do we not open this up for public comment? are there any members of the public who wish to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. without objection. and then finally, item 13. clerk young:

ryan's budget is not my budget. but the fact of the matter is, it is his budget.e is going to have to live with the fact that ryan wants to turn medicare into vouchers. that ryan is going -- has a reverse robin hood budget in terms of rewarding the rich and sacrificing the poor and the working class. and thirdly, a lot of the investments we believe in in this country in terms of infrastructure and education and everything else, are going to be absolutely eliminated on the ryan/romney budget. yet the military is going to be held intact. this is not a budget about reducing, this isn't about reducing the budget deficit. the ryan budget does not reduce the budget deficit. for three decades, we don't get a balanced budget. this is about shrinking government on the backs of average working people. and i think americans when they hear about it are not going to like it. >> here's the problem -- >> steven, i want to play a clip. erin spoke with congressman ryan let's give him a chance to speak for himself, back in march. she asked him about his plan to simplify the tax sys

>> the house budget -- the house budget -- the house budget -- doesn't budget until the 2030s until the current cbo baseline. we believe if we get the economy growing, people back to work, we'll be able toalance the budget within ten years. >> back now with roland martin. republican strategist ana navarro. roland, i'll start with you on this. what was your takeaway from that? clearly, there was a difficulty in articulating exactly what the romney budget was and he said he hasn't run the numbers on it. >> since the previous discussion was about language, i look at the language paul ryan was using. congressman paul ryan was using. he said, quote, the budget plan that mitt romney is supporting, that sounded as if he's not the vp choice. romney had made it clear that he's advancing his own budget. so congressman ryan might want to get on board of the romney plan, since romney picked him. then he also kept saying that "we in the house." then he said that we believe that the budget can be balanced in ten years. who is "we"? is it his house budget or is it the romney budget? he's the vp candid

but just come back from recess and finished introduction for budget and city attorneys budget. colleagues, if we can resend the previous action we took, the motion to accept a budget analyst recommendations on page 65. upon further conversation, he wanted to work through a few more of those items and, so can we send that motion? without objection. why don't we continue with the office of economic and workforce to about? >> i was just at the beginning of my presentation, looking over the comparison of the current fiscal year budget and the next two years of budget. i was listening to the budget presentation and i understand there are some threshold questions the committee has with regards to internships and i thought i would refer to those now for my department. the office of economic and workforce development currently has 19 intern's the summer. they're mostly undergraduates but we have had some high-school students. just as the city attorney mentioned, we have in turn to all year round but tend to get a bubble in the summer and average about 6 to 10 and turned all year. depar

he proposed a full-blown budget. >> his budget didn't even try to balance the budget.get proposes more debt. more spending. more borrowing. more regulating. it gave us four years of trillion-dollar deficits and proposing more of the same. >> you answer the charge that you are planning massive tax cuts for the wealthy. at the extense of the middle class. how do you respond to that allegation? >> what we're saying is get rid of special interest loopholes and deductions that are uniquely enjoyed by the wealthy to lower the tax rates for everybody. put it this way. people use income tax shelter are the people in the top tax bracket. take away tax shelters, more of the income subject to taxation to allow to us lower tax rate for everybody. families, small businesses, and that help us create job and prosperity. >> will we soon see a plan specific about which loopholes to close? >> that is something we think we should do in the light of day, through congress, unlike how obamacare was passed. we don't want a back room deal. what the ways and means committee did, what the house

>> the house beaumont. >> yeah. >> the house budget everyone's talking about the house budget. paul ryan's house budget. it's the central issue of the campaign. you know, kind of like frankenstein's monster romney has created the toxic avenger, a mutant that contaminates everything within its reach. did he know how this creation would spread and so quickly? actually, cranny senior advisor mark mckenan warned it would run on principles and provided vision for the republican party and probably lose. maybe big. it was the pick the toxic creation. paul ryan. it was the pick born of panic. it was a move made out of desperation. mid romney was seeing his poll numbers slipping under the toll of bain capital and his own daily flipflops and gaffes, so he lunched wildly to the right to shake up the game and shore up his crumbling and probably suspicion base. but i wonder if romney in his heart of hearts might regret the decision. when asked today whether he would back his running mate's budget, romney was quick to say that it wasn't identical to his own plan, you know, he did so in a typ
