today separately from the department technology and the department of public works, also part of the gsa. gsa's primary mission is to promote efficient delivery of services, and the majority of services we provide are to support the operations of city government. examples of these functions include maintenance operations and management of city-owned buildings and infrastructure, per german and contract administration, fleet management and vehicle maintenance, real estate leasing and acquisition, city-wide mismanagement, and city-wide capital planning. while i am very proud of the achievements of everyone in the gsa, i did not have time to go through each division to highlight accomplishments in the last year, so i will just touch on a few. in

coming up on july 1, reproduction of mail services will transfer back to gsa, and that will come with 13 additional positions and a budget of $5.5 million. there are additional changes that are highlighted that i am happy to discuss with you if you have questions about them, but those are the major changes to our budget. we are in agreement with one of the budget analyst recommendations and are still discussing the remainder of the recommendations and hope to be able to reach agreement in coming weeks. with that, you saw happen to answer questions. supervisor chu: thank you. a lot of the growth in your department's budget has to do with really the transfer of certain personnel and functions from the department of technology over to your department, correct? >> that is correct. supervisor chu: primarily, it would be repro graphics. and the others the justice program, right? >> that is correct. supervisor chu: just a question for the justice program -- who in administrative services is overseeing the project? >> the deputy city administrators overseeing the day-to-day operations. superv

nevertheless, since that date, we pursued actively and seriously the gsa lease that you are probably aware of that recently -- last week, i think, landed in their existing space, which is the hines space. there are hundreds of millions of dollars spent in the architectural, and in the first round of the gsa lease, we were the chosen building. there was a protest, they backed off. until last week, we thought we had a chance to win that lease, which would have gotten a building built, in my view, and it would have been good for the san francisco economy. i am sure that you are also aware -- could i get the overhead? that is the site, 350 bush. which if you drive by, now sits out there vacant. it requires support, care, it requires us to continue to take care of that landmark asset until we can build the building, which is here, which will support that exchange building for the ages. so we have been continuing to do that and will continue to do that until we can finally build this building. the lastly, john, who is the lincoln property representative is here and can answer questions, bu

we dispose of 200 gsa properties valued at $467 million and covering 9.5 million square feet but just as important that eliminated $484 million in future anticipated repair needs. there's cost avoidance as well. at the risk of making things complicated before a come back to make them simple also. some of the properties that in a real property inventory are listed as underutilize are actually undergoing renovations though they are more intensively utilized. so the gsa headquarters building which is 600,000 square feet gets listed in the inventory as being underutilized because half of it has been emptied out to renovate. when we're through with evading we will have 3 times as many federal employees in it and avoid lease costs of $20 million a year. that is a significant thing to note. gsa has a role aside from managing our own inventory on behalf of federal agencies we have the job of disposing of assets other agencies don't need. we do believe we have the expertise and capacity to take a lot of properties through the disposal process it is each individual landholding agency that is re

the gsa says the case has been reviewed and the agent acted professionally and according to a proper procedure. >> here are some of your comments in regards to that tsa incident. >> time for a check on the weather forecast with james fletcher. >> good morning, here is a live look from mt. tam. you can see it we have some high clouds, low clouds, we have faulted and wind, drizzle and rain. we have the whole gamut this morning. the rain right now is falling mainly in the north bay. that is where it will start and spray area wide. we will also introduce the possibility of a thunderstorm or two. the rain will eventually go away overnight and this slowly taper off. tomorrow morning we will start on a dry note. let's take a quick look and storm tracker 4. in santa rosa, you can see the cold front pushing through. the current bill is dealing with light, moderate and heavy rain. santa rosa had heavier rain banal dealing with light rain. if you live in the north bay and 101 is a part of your commute, be prepared to take it slow. we have similarly intense rain offshore near stinson beach near

of course, gsa as those bills. -- gsa has those skills. it is probably something that will take more analysis did figure out what makes sense. the focus on expertizing the transfer -- expediting the transfer as quickly as possible should be the goal. >> mr. ford ms. foscarinis -- ms. foscarinis, i'm sorry. >> from our perspective, the brac process is quite different from what is being proposed currently. it has provisions for the consideration of homeless people. it is written into the law that the needs of homeless members of a given community must be considered in disposing of the base property. representatives of homeless people must also be part of that process and hud must oversee the disposal of property in order to ensure that the needs of homeless people are dressed. that is very different. all of those protections are missing from the administration's current proposal. >> one more question. mr. baxa, you recommend that we consider -- something i got to know well. you say we should consider this to help with the surplus. drill down

i am here with my gsa members. i am the president of the alliance there. when we heard about these cuts that would affect the beacon, we were horrified. most, if not all the multicultural program there are sponsored by the beacon. so the cuts we would get from the budget would pretty much be the end of the multicultural programs. there are large schools in the richmond district that have beaten programs. there are literally thousands of students that go to these clauses that will be affected. i feel like i am screaming for help, but i have not. supervisor chu: thank you. >> hello, my name is natalie. i go to roosevelt middle school. i am involved in the beacon program. i go to the art academy three times a week. this is not an avid program that you just go in and get picked up. they let you go outside every day and teach a new things, give you books, let you go out to different monuments so that you can learn how to draw, learn the history behind burke. this is basically my only chance to get any program in arts. i want to go to an art school, but it is ve

typically, the gsa adviser. when we try to do is create a safe space -- space for our gay and lesbian students so they know what teachers to go to and who can be of assistance if they have any questions. social workers and nurses also do coming out groups at high schools. basically, a lot of violence prevention work as well as through media campaigns, which happens in january. april is gay pride month for the district where we do many events to reach out to all of our students. supervisor campos: thank you. >> i am the acting director of community services specialized division at the adult probation department. thank you, vice chair cohen and member campos for allowing the adult probation department to provide testimony today. my supervisor asked me to rent -- then these proceedings. the adult prevention department fully supports the plan and appreciates being in with to provide input into the design. this is long overdue for adult probation because along with the support of the board of supervisors and family v

we ended up after a very long process with the gsa settling on a site on the eastern shore of maryland. unfortunately, last year, that became improper because of local opposition to the site. that is one of the objects. need a pretty large site and it is hard to find a large site that is a properly configured with n -- within a reasonable distance of washington, d.c. we had to go back to the beginning and start over. we're closing in on a site. we have had to change our criteria a little bit to permit us to look further out from washington. that is a little bit of a problem for us, because it makes the choice selection easier, but it means since it is beyond simple driving range that our trainees will have to overnight, and that means the construction of dorms and other facilities, cafeteria, such things. that adds to the cost. we are closing in on a site, and we hope to have something to announce in the coming months. but we absolutely, absolutely required this site. as mr. ford said, we are spread out over a range of facilities right now. the biggest problem, aside from the dispersal

using taxpayer money, so now she has to know what it is like to go through airports and deal with the gsand those experiences as well. i think you are seeing dividends. completely shifted the debate. president obama for the last two years was talking about how much money he can spend other people's money to get the economy going. of course, what happened was when they brought that great stimulus bill but they promised a month just borrow another $1 trillion we willp under -- over 8%. asee over 9% for the last 18 months because it is failed approach of stimulus and darling money and bailouts is not working, we shifted the debate now. instead of talking about how much more money to spend, we are finally talking about how much money to cut, and that is where our focus needs to be.
