discretion to allocate them otherwise and there is about a billion of that 4.2 that goes to pay for general city responsibilities which is things like retiree health subsidiaries , health service administration costs and those dollars that we must spend keep city services running and we're obligated do not have a policy choice to make to reduce them without other action and that leaves about $2.5 billion that is available that is truly a matter of policy addition correction so in that light our $715 million is much larger share puts us at about 30% of the total discretionary dollars that are available to allocate and so that is a big portion it's a much bigger portion than when you look at the higher level numbers and that is one of the reasons that our budget is a major factor for the citys general fund balancing plan and vice versa when the general fund is in trouble we're in trouble and when we're in trouble the general fund is in trouble so that's why we're always working very carefully to coordinate with mayor's office and controllers' office on our financial planning so that it alliance wi

that is capital investment that will payoff over the long run and lastly the general fund we talked about there is the city's general fund reserve and this has been the work of the city and the controller and the mayor 's office and over the last many years the city and the board of supervisors adopted the policy to increase the size of the city's general fund reserve it used to be $25 million total for the general fund and that reserve has grown overtime to about 8% of general fund revenues from a fraction of 1% that puts us in more of a standard range where we have re serves that are more proportion at to the size of the city's revenues so that should provide some question with one of these big changes. and then let's see of course revenue generation is our other strategy for mitigateing any of these issues and the more self reliant we have on our revenues and the less we rely on general fund dollars or we're reliant on good news from the state or federals, the less susceptible to those changes so that that's got to be our policy for in sul eighting ourselves from the swings of the financial world so that

the city paying their respects to the mayor who they say lived a life of service.pkgat 1-11 tuesday morning, san francisco mayor ed lee passed away at zuckerberg san francisco generalhospital. city and hospital officials are not yet releasing the cause of death.his family has asked that we share no further medical information and due to state and federal privacy laws we have to respect those wishes.the mayor was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. doctors worked on him for hours but it was too late. a number of city officials and supporters gathered at city hall to pay respects to mayor lee.he was from the dawn of his career, an advocate for the powerless a voice for the overlooked, someone who looked out for others in need before himself. that commitment to others defined the mayors 3 decades of public service.in the last 6 years, mayor ed lee made a lot of positive changes in the city. including helping pass one of the highest minimum wages in the country. we tend to forget but when mayor lee was appointed in 2011, he faced tremendous challenges in this city. sf was enduring the fallout of the great recession, rising unemployment and growing worry. but

and our level of general fund support which is what we're balancing to so the general fund is an accounting fund in the city and i think i've got some old lingo up there since we've changed our accounting system but it's app accounting fund and it contains a lot of things and it contains general tax revenues and it also contains revenues that come from the state and federal and it contains fee revenues and it's used to pay for a lot of different things in the city and a lot of different departments including d.p.h. so within the general fund, which is an accounting fund, there is concept called general fund support and within the general fund there's a pool of tax dollars that comes in their local tax dollar and those local tax dollars are available to be allocated by policy decisions from the board of supervisorors and the mayor's office so you can see i have a graphic here showing there's the general fund within it and there's a pool of unallocated general fund dollars that can be spread around to diffuses at the discretion of our elected officials so d.p.h. received dollars and general supports those are
