city. after the economic meltdown in 2008 the federal government stepped in to rescue general motors and chrysler, but there's been no indication the city will get the same treatment. and/oror said state and city officials are not counting on any federal assistance. >> we operate under the assumption that we have to cure this problem on our own. we are not expecting the calvary to come charging in. we're out here and we have to fix it because we dug this hole. >> suarez: mayor david bing on abc's this week suggested he wasn't given up on asking the obama administration to step in. >> there are over 100 major urban cities that are having the same problems that we're having. we may be one of the first. we are the largest. but we absolutely will not be the last. and so we've got to set a benchmark in terms of how to fix our cities and come back from this tragedy. >> suarez: first though the various court battles will have to play out. there's no indication of just how long all of that might take, but it could be many months. many questions surrounding a bankruptcy involve who takes losses, who gets

general fund sources. 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 wh

generally the city does not pay for sewer damage, however if there is damage documented by tree roots, the city does pay for claims in those instances. >> if someone trips, is it the property owners responsibility or the city's responsibility. >> when we have the responsibility for the tree, we have the responsibility for that damage as well and the liability. >> thank you. >> the shaping of that tree is kind of unusual for the species, isn't it? >> it's big and old, so i think the canopy is broader thaen often you see for the species. >> who handled the hearing? it's not the director, right? >> no, there is a hearing officer. a number of representatives that attend the hearing and make final recommendations and the director makes that decision base on their recommendations. did you want the name? >> no. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing no public comment we can start with our rebuttal with the appellant. >> sir, you didn't identify yourself to the board, are you mr. sullivan? >> i'm gerald sullivan. i have no problem with the department of public works

throughout this year, more stories to be told about what this 150 years means to our city, because, there is a lot of generationsf people who came to this city, many, many years, built communities, built their small business and their livelihood and hopes and helped us to establish the fisherman's wharf and help us to establish all of the maritime that they have created life times of reasons of why people want to continue visiting our city and we need to acknowledge all of that history. and all of it has not been easy, there have been difficult things and we have had fights over what is proper, and what is not proper, but we have always had in our sites in all of these different struggles, the success of our city, the golden gate bridge and the hope that it brings to many generations of immigrants that is what our city is built on and the honor that we have with all of our labor partners who also jimmy herman and the cruise ship terminal that they are honoring and built it through years of generations of struggle but also great celebrations that we have. and so this is wonderful year, and 150 years of history. l

i think the ballot measure could seriously restrict appropriate development in the city as generated a lot of concern from a lot of different corridors. and while i understand the frustration that folks feel about the erosion of some park, i don't think that a ballot box war is productive at this moment. i also don't think years of litigation are particularly productive. so, it is my hope, it is my hope that we can avoid this in the coming days with a more reasonable compromise. i do understand there is a proposed settlement letter. i do hope that no progress can be made. i want to build a mexican museum. i've told supporters of the museum i'm concerned that the supporters are going to have to spend a year fighting a ballot measure and years spending litigation. at this point my suggestion, colleagues, to the committee is that we continue this item for one week until next monday and i'm going to ask both parties to really come to the table to see if we can resolve this, that we calendar this for next monday with a committee report out to the full board on tuesday so that it can catch

envy to every city in the world.

unspent prior year numbers and lastly by adopting moratorium on new management positions the city's general fund would realize $3.2 million in savings. with these options it shows the board has the ability to fund the 4% increase and it's the right thing to do for the city's most vulnerable populations and the nonprofits that serve them. thank you.
