>>councilman o' farrell: thank you. any others? >> hello, i'm with san francisco, i would love to echo kathy's statements. we spoke at the last time this committee saw this item about access to meetings, access to recordings. since then it has actually come up that there are some vague question about the record and we can't go back and just very matter of factually who said what. so that would be really great. at the february 12th meeting since the last time i spoke before you i attended the retirement board meeting and despite spending 3 hours there, the items i was most interested in were at the end and i came back and found out that post 5:00 the receptionist is gone and you cannot reenter the meeting. i'm not sure if that's even okay. it's fine for me to go home and check the archive later if there is an archive, if there is not an archive then it's a genuine problem because it's impossible to know what happened at the meeting. i would love to echo kathy's statements if this is agreeable to the budget and i would like to thank

farrell >>supervisor mark farrell: thank you supervisor avalos. i'm not going to consider that motion. dividing the number of services to me if the critique is there has not been that much process which there has and to cut in half to allocate to unspecified other services to me makes it even worse. for me, if there is another additional supplemental or appropriation that you would like to see implemented, i think it's very worthy and we will take that in due course. but this is a specific program policy worked on with the department of public health in great detail. >>supervisor john avalos: if i may respond. that has been reported to me what's happened and there is a consensus around this supplemental appropriatation and it has not. my the recommendation by the budget recommendation analyst that these funds go on budget committee reserve, i'm totally fine with that it goes to a pending plan and for the general hot team services and i would like there to be a plan. i believe what you brought forward in terms of how to city needs to respond to our

>> good member dhar farrell, this is a zero dollar contract. it sets up the conditions by which the city accepts funding for the prop 63 and other federal grants for mental health services and it's fiscal year 13-14 and it's retro active and the board has approved $30 million in the 13-14 budget. they'll have to be another approval for the 14-15 approval and the estimate budget for 14-15 is $34 million. >> thanks. i presume given that the 14-15, we'll have the resolution before us, so it's not retro active. >> that's the goal now that we know the state is going to ask for it. >> i can't wait to have these come to the board of supervisors. colleagues, any questions. president mar. >> i wanted to ask mrs. simmons, i know the budget items will come later for the department, but do you have projections for what the state's mental health funding will be coming up this year with the governor's budget, do you have any projections right now? >> overall budget, i don't. for these three fundings, the information is in there and it's my area and that's wh
