to appreciate what it will take to make sure that for generations to come, our city college will not go down the path of making mistakes as they have, and be both a partner to the city. because we are already invested. we are invested in hundreds of thousands of dollars in programs. i have got money in tech training programs with them. we have got money in employment training programs with city college. we're supporting them in many, many ways through the financial reviews and partnerships that we're creating and these sorts of things will bring them into a strong, sustainable recovery, not one that is a one-shot one. sometimes, barbara, when you give people money and you save them for a year, have you really corrected the problem? that is what we are faced with city college. >> let's just stop for a moment and remind all of you out there who are either watching this online or on sf san francisco city government station this is the 2013 online budget town hall meeting with san francisco mayor ed lee. i am barbara taylor the bureau chief. i have a question that i will call "the pothole

city college has a few problems but they have been pretty much corrected. most of them were financial because we lost $50 million in funding in a these-year-- threer period the. >> city college is the largest public school in california with 2,600 employees. 19 commissioners will make the decision. some find frustrating the decision is made today in private and will not be announced until next month. >> thank you. now developing news, the obama administration is responding to a report that the national security agency is collecting the phone reports of tens of millions of americans, make even you. "the guard yap" says the u.s. government has a top secret court order requiring environmental done to turn other the telephone records of 70's million customers each day. the order started in april and runs through july but does not call for verizon to monitor actual diagnoses or gather names and addresses. a top official is defending the practice saying collecting phone records is critical tool in protecting the nation from terrorist threats. >> federal and state

we recovery significant funding from the school district and the courts and the city college. so any increase in our expenses only 50 percent is general fund and you can see at the bottom 46 percent is from non-general fund uses. so given that the significant growth here is really in the personnel area i wanted to show you a couple of metrics. the first is not a criticism of fema but a recollection of what happens in a post implementation stage there are additional things to be done. the daily events we're processing prior were 2 hundred and 54 a day. it's increased by a for about of 4 to 5 to 6 in the months following. so the same must be are requiring a tremendous much higher level of interactions. that's temp costs this year and it's something we hope to address in the additional positions there. you can see the increased call volumes and it is significant in 2013. this is the enabling complexity of health care. the changes in pharmacy benefits and to the members as they become medicaid eligible. almost 75 thousand for the year and this is the budget for temp services. so w

they are smart enough to do that, but they want to get going at city college. >> do you see the city in this budget cycle actually carving out a dollar amount? >> here is what we're doing, because i don't think it is always to be measured by the amount of money you give for bailouts. i have been paying personal attention to their accreditation program. i have had interim chancellor scott in my office and i had the state chancellor, who is in charge of accreditation in my office, on the phone, on a monthly basis. i have worked directly with our controller, and a team of people from our controller's office, to pour over the economics. because part of the challenge was that their accreditation had to do with two broad areas: their economic stability, but also the way they governed themselves over many, many years and when you read the accreditation report, it didn't happen overnight. it happened over many, many years of decisions that didn't pay attention to a number of factors. and so recovering from that takes more than just financial investment. it takes a concerted partnership, with

i promise there is no way city college is going to close. it is a great institution.e have problems that we have corrected. >> it is the largest public school and 85,000 students will be hoping their school can survive this scrutiny. the school has submitted 300 pages to the commission explaining the changes it has made and school officials will be here today to make a final three as to why city college should stay open. >> it is now 5:33 watch out for traffic on the peninsula and in the south bay tone as president obama makes a return two-day trip to the bay area. the focus tonight is fundraising, attending receptions in palo alto and portola valley and tomorrow a speech on health care at the san jose fairmont hotel. no parking scenes are already up on forest avenue in palo alto ahead of the fundraiser at the home of co-founders of flip board, with tickets starting at $2,500 and go to $15,000 for a couple with v.i.p. seating and the second event is at the home of silicon valley venture capitalists and the dinner costs $65,000 but it includes a photo and a discussion

i would like to acknowledge city college who has been with us from the beginning, city bill started as a 12-week program. we now go 18 weeks and one of the primary reasons for that is so that the students will leave with credit. and a big push and a part of that we could not have done without phillis mcguire who is retiring and i would like to give my thanks to the city bill program and to her for all of the effort of making this thing what it is today and we are a national model in this particular industry for what we do and so with that, i would like to give phillis, our certificate of honor, presented from the city and county of san francisco through the phillis mcguire endorsed by mayor ed lee,. thank you. [ applause ] >> so i changed my mind. yes, i do want to say something. and that is that i have been with city build academy from the beginning as well. and it has been one of the proudest pieces of work that i have had the honor to be a part of. and i'm so glad that i am here for your graduation, congratulations and i am so glad that there are 28 cranes up there for all of you. i

the city colleges and supreme court so at what point can they opt in is there a point for them to do that. he the other question is related to that. have they been contacted about this? >> yes those are great questions ben rosen field we've been working with. >> to your questions. proposition b which the voters adopted in 2008 created the trust fund and included in the provision that other governmental employers in the city and county francisco choose to join. there's no timeline on that requirement. they can opt in anytime to the trust. the community college has recently opted within the past year. as supervisor farrell discussed simply require that for disbursements out of the fund should those opt in no funds are released. your second question >> can we continue to june 27th as amended? thank you supervisor farrell i'm glad all of us here a co-authoring with you >> thank you. >> so let's move on madam clerk item number 2. >> august 2nd to the citizens advisory committee on market street and the tenderloin area peter and another gentleman withdrew their aca

mayor ed lee going to step forward and bail out city college to its keep accreditation, in the same way that the city has stepped forward and helped the public schools? i know that is a tough question. >> it is, but let me say this. it's a tough question, but it's also one that is easily answered because of our constant investment and my approach towards the role of education. community college is an incredible institution in san francisco. it is where people in their mid-careers need additional skills to meet the market demands of a new workforce. it is where many people who don't make it into berkeley and stanford and all the great institutions come to get an great educational start. it's where a lot of economically-challenged families invest in their kids. it is where veterans, returning from afghanistan and iran and iraq come because they are not ready yet to apply to the big universities. they are smart enough to do that, but they want to get going at city college. >> do you see the city in this budget cycle actually carving out a dollar amount? >> here is what we're doing, bec

the younger youth was recruited by city college and that's how they accessed those jobs and again because this was a public system it was available for young people city wide so they didn't have to go through those points. i can apply to the system directly. this was the neighborhoods that we served from the southeast sector but we reached the young people out in every district. so what's next for 2013. last year was our initial launch and launched by the mayor. we got running quickly. we partnered with united way the bay area to implement the summer job initiatives, this year the mayor wants to make this a year round effort and dcyf provided funding for -- put out a request to help manage our summer job and reach out to the private sector year round. the mayor this year based on the success of last year raised the bar for all of us, so he wants to see 6,000 opportunities for those 16 to 14. and that goes out to the private sector. we build on the success that we had last summer and partnership with oedwe. the mayor held a job challenge on april 30th. and i'll talk about what came out of
