this is what dcyf stands by age group. if we can hit one that shows what the city is spending by age group. >> we would be happy to work on putting something like that together for you. >> thank you very much. if there are no other comments or questions, can we move to continue this item to the call of the chair? without objection. >> item number3, hearing to receive an update on the department of public health's budget for fiscal year 2011- 2012. >> thank you very much. we have barbara garcia. >> we appreciate all the work we have been doing trying to be as transparent as possible including all of our partners. i wanted to start off by showing -- creating a general fund map which is one of the largest apartments with some of the largest general fund. just to go over a minute, our budget as a whole under the appropriations category. >> do you have any presentations? >> yes, we do. under the appropriations of the budget, 1.4 billion. our jarrell fund is up 108 million. -- our general fund. a total realignment with 545 milli

i know that dcyf plays an active role in working with and supporting the efforts. we are a co-chair of the task force. i would like to have a further conversation with you in terms of forward this population should live. maybe we can look through all of our departments and see who oversees that of hon. commu.

are police and fire, social safety net departments, human services agency, the health department, dcyf. so it would be disproportionately significant reduction in staffing capacity at those departments. on the contract side, i believe we have about five under million dollars, six under million dollars worth of general fund -- i believe we have $500 million, $600 million of general fund contracts, which is about half of the total budget for those services. if we were to actually go to the departments and say we want you say wea -- we want you to make a 28% reduction, it was significant impact their ability to provide services, both for staffing and community partners. i don't think our anticipation is how we will ultimately solve the deficit, by just doing across the board reductions, but the scale of this problem is significant, and that is why we will hear from dcyf and dph and other departments in the future about cuts they would rather not make that the level of this deficit is forcing us to consider. supervisor chiu: thank you. supervisor chu: thank you, supervisor chiu. if we walk

dcyf funded a collaborative, but even now the funding is not there anymore. we continue to work together. in 2004, dcyf reported that district 11 is the most underserved community and has the highest concentration of you off. we are not only serving youth in our community, but we are serving youth from other districts. in addition, district 11 also has the highest number of schools in one district alone. a high population of youth resides here. they come to the district to attend school and after-school programs. [applause] >> good evening. i'm the program director at out of sight youth arts center. i want to talk about the curve needs of the district 11 youth that we work with and that many of our organization work with. with our current budget cuts on education, school aren't being cut, furlough days enacted, resources diminishing, we know that school is not enough. today, are you is faced with many challenges, peer pressures at school, other issues. you get involved with an after- school programming in order to learn more, make friends, feel empowered, dev

shares apartment coming up, police, fire, dcyf, rec/park. i think that will be a good time for us to weigh in at least publicly about what to think about some of the proposals, but are there other ways in which we could start the process and be helpful helping us get to the balance? >> absolutely. i think the committee hearing process is a good start. i would like to hear from you individually, however you would like to do it, about what your priorities are. the mayor has been starting to have discussions with you, i know. i think his intention is to put together an outline of what the budget would look like and essentially make that available to you and the public to start providing some feedback on what that is going to look like. we have, starting tomorrow, a group of cbo's coming in to meet with the mayor and our office and with a number of department heads to talk in particular about health and human service cuts that are proposed as part of the department's submissions and the contingency proposals. the goal of those meetings will be t

we have the executive director of young community developers to talk about what transpired in the dcyf meeting. >> [inaudible] supervisor cohen: turn your microphone on me -- turn your microphone on for me. thanks. >> well i will talk loud. [laughter] [inaudible] 1 of the things i do, just to put a little perspective -- i spent a couple of years working with the department of children, youth, and their families, and one of the things we had to do over those couple of years, unfortunately, was make a lot of budget reductions to programs throughout the city. i definitely know the task that you all have a head. i sympathize with you. i have been in your seat, but i also put that perspective in place so you can understand you should listen to what i have to say because i have been in your place. in all seriousness, i have asked to recap the conversation we had on march 17 with department of children, youth, and their families director, supervisor cohen, and a lot of district 10 cbo's pier that was an open forum for us to start talking about budget priorities and the results of some of the

i think it is really important that you look critically at all of these important programs that dcyf funds for the children and youth especially. i'm going to give you some paperwork on this matter. thank you very much. [applause] >> good evening, everybody. 32-year resident of the english side neighborhood. not a native, as my daughter's tell me, but 32 years is a long time. thank you for being here tonight and listening to us. here are some items i would like you to consider. first of all, let's get back balboa park station fix that. as we do it, let's not forget about pedestrian improvements. we have to make sure that with gas at $4 or $5 a gallon, we will all be walking, so let's make it as attractive and pedestrian-friendly as possible. second, we have a signature building in this neighborhood. it has been an abandoned eyesore for too long. there is a fabulous program by the friends of the geneva car barn to put together a youth programs there. why can we have a signature building in this neighborhood with signature programs for all the youth we have? we have the kids out here.

our city that have the biggest share of our general fund dollars, closely following on the list are dcyf, the rec and park department, and others. as supervisor cohen said, we have asked our departments to propose 10% reductions to their general fund support an additional 10% contingency to put ideas on the table, to think about how we are going to be able to close this deficit. we are in the process right now of looking at those ideas and thinking them through. as the mayor said, we want to hear your thoughts about these ideas as we are in our decision making process. just to kind of put the challenge in perspective, if we took the full 20% from every department and said we were going to put that in our budget, that would only save us about $180 million from this point forward. we are working on other solutions, but the point of this is to illustrate the challenge in front of us and the reason we are having discussions that we have to have tonight to balance our deficit. another point is that going forward, there is not that much improvement on the horizon, and our projections show we w

and children services and for dcyf, the first five san francisco. >> that group comes together on "moly basis. it informs the school district and board of education around what's going on in the field. >> can i ask the representative for us is going to be mr. lazard. >> commissioner yi? jo i'll add to the history. why did the department of education fund this piece they actually funded child care. we have money coming. jo for cal works. historically because education funded child care. the other thing we wanted to point out was the traditional sort of definition of child care was not what the state used for their services nor baz it what we use in san francisco. we meanerly childhood education. people would assume it is just babysitting and not he had kiss. >> to that point, we work closely with a lot of members of the unified school district. we have really strong ties. i can voug for the a mount ys. >> thank you. there are no public speakers on this matter. item m, there were no eye texases. item o, consent calendar. item o, roll call, please. >> no on k 1 and k 4. >> reporting on the

to say is that april 6 at 1:00, the board of supervisors will hold a hearing about the budget for dcyf. that is a really important one for people to show up if you are concerned about after-school programs and family support issues. the mayor's office has been quite open to hearing feedback. supervisor campos: i wanted to give mayor lee an opportunity to say something. thank you again for being here in district 9. [applause] mayor lee: thank you for coming here tonight. this will not be our last meeting. i have listened carefully to the translated commons and what people mean to say here. i do think that we will have to spend quality time defining the word "progressive" when we start thinking of ways to raise revenue. i suggest we all start forming the partnerships that we need to form to get the best ideas possible. thank you very much. you have been a wonderful crowd. [applause] supervisor campos: mr. mayor, i want to say on behalf of district 9 and the mission, and thank you for being here. thank you to all of the department heads. you have a commitment from this community that we w

some of these proposals will include we will have dcyf next week and other departments following, but that is basically where we are. we will get a little bit of good news in the joint report, which is a good thing, but will not be enough to fundamentally change the fact that we're going to have to look very seriously at some significant reductions. supervisor chu: looking at the memo, what i take away from that, the back of the envelope math, $380 million, we are out of balance about -- out of balance of about $225 million still peer you are asking the mayor to consider accepting the department was a contingency plans at the moment. looks like you are asking the mayor to consider additional layoffs. it looks like you are asking -- basically saying we cannot be the stopgap bill we did not have the resources to fill all the stopgaps we have been seeing. >> i think that is fair. those are not necessarily mutually exclusive options, either, but i think the point is that where we are, we have to consider some of the more difficult options. when we initially planned for what our budget pro

cuts for cutting police officers, if we're cutting drop-in centers, if we are producing contracts at dcyf, if we are taking out nutrition programs, if we take all of those proposals, we still have a $65 million gap remaining that we need to solve. i think the point of this slide is really not too be overly negative about the good news, and every is good news, but the point is that the news is not probably enough to fundamentally change the dynamic that this committee will have to tackle over this hearing process in the month of june. we still have a very significant challenge, and we are still in a position where we have to work with departments to look at the contingency proposals beyond the first 10% and look at seriously some of the more difficult proposals that have been made by departments to get to balance on june 1. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor wiener. supervisor wiener: thank you, madam chair. so the $65 min
