and the challenge we face as a government i.t. work force is frankly because of budget reductions and the strain of the economy we're facing a reduced work force year after year. we see our work force shrink in the city and understandably the expectations we provide, robust, security systems is one our customers expect were us. i think when we look at implementing large-scale enterprise-type systems, one thing we always take into consideration is security. so when we looked at the microsoft solution, that actually became a very important topic that we went over in a lot of detail. there were a lot of meetings between my chief security officer and the microsoft security team. we were extremely impressed with the microsoft security solution as it related with the certifications they have and the fact they have clients if not as high or higher security requirements than the city does. it gives us a level of comfort that it gives us with solutions that we can rely on a security standpoint. again, back to the partnership, i know the ou

the question that i have for you is around i.t. this is a question not specific to the airport but one that i'll be asking a lot of departments about what your overall budget is for i.t. expend tours what fraction of that -- expenditures, what fraction of that goes specifically to airport-related specific applications, hardware and software that you need. you mentioned some of the things that you're doing that are unique to what we do here in san francisco, vis-a-vis other airports. and then i do know that the airport is helping to shoulder the burden of helping to look at a variety of other enterprise, systemwide issues. and i wanted you to talk about that for a moment. >> our budget for i.t. is about $14 million. i would like to provide a follow-up report to answer your question in more detail on how that breaks down, what are airport unique services and highlight some of those and what are general services, e-mail, data center. so the airport is supporting the city's efforts to centralize and consolidate efforts where we the cit

department that our customers expressed concern, we come fought central i.t. department for service and yet we want a service level agreement. we want to know what we're getting for our money. this is something working with microsoft, we have a service level agreement. we did realize an interruption in service and now we're working with microsoft to see service credits at that time. for us that closed the loops on what customers exact. they expect good service. they expect some type of resolution at the end of it how to prevent it from happening in the future and some type of benefit from the service impact. i'm not sure -- >> this is gail from microsoft. i just want to thank you for our comments and echo this is something we take very seriously as a provision of service to both enterprise and government customers. we responded very quickly and, again, i think the issue with microsoft is you are working with a trusted partner in the enterprise space and ensuring that we respond quickly and we have, you know, as you mentioned, 24/7 support to proactively commun

if we can call that item, this is the release of reserves for i.t. for people here in the room for the 1:00 session, likely will go to a short recess and then come back. thank you. supervisor chu: if i can as those here for the previous item to lower your voice is or move forward so that we could finish our agenda? that would be great. mr. young, please call item no. 7. >> item number 7. hearing to consider release of reserved funds, department of technology - committee on information technology fy2010-2011 budget, in the amount of $3,196,686, to fund the consolidation, standardization, and optimization of the city's technology operations and applications. supervisor chu: thank you very much. this item did come before the budget and finance committee previously. we released half of the reserve. it is getting to the point where we need to consider the remaining portion. i believe that supervisor david chiu had intended to join us, but we are getting started given that we are running late on time. please provide the presentation. >> thank you, chair pe

we also have some increased i.t. expenditures. spending $50,000 of additional computers, we will be digitized and the documents. in the office luddite, but my understanding is that by converting our documents they will be more accessible to the public and will be preserved for a long period of time. other than that we have funds in there for carpeting and painting, but i am hoping to patch and do spot painting so that we save on some of those items. in terms of funding for the brent ward, we are funding through unit c. we have no general fund monies. our fee is not set by the controller until august, when we know how much carry forward we have to offset necessary increases. i am proud to brag that our fee has remained $29 for the last three years. i believe that we have sufficient carry forward this year as well to be able to fund our budget at the same $29 level. in terms of a five-year forecast, basically, my goal is to try to keep the expenditure is as low as possible. we are not filling a clerical position for a while so that
